i own nothing :( naruto characters are not mine (unfortunatly)
In a little clearing in the middle of the woods sat an 18 year old Hyuuga Neji meditating in the shade of a Sakura tree when his heightened senses picked up some strange sounds coming from another clearing close by. He was just going to ignore the sounds when he sensed the familiar chakra and he decided to check it out.
He got up and walked over to the clearing where he saw a pink haired medic beating the shit out of a tree sweat pouring down her face.
"Now that's not very nice. What did the tree do to you?" came the cold voice of Neji.
Sakura spun around surprised "oh Neji I didn't see you there." Sakura said looking at him curiously "what are you doing out here?" she asked.
"I was meditating until you disturbed me" came his monotone reply "and for that you will have to spar with me." he stated
"What??" Sakura asked surprised when he suddenly vanished only to appear right behind her with a kunai at her neck
"unless you want to give up now because you're too weak to beat me" Neji said smirking. That hit a nerve Sakura disappeared from in front of him "good" he said while activating his Byakugan "now where are you?" he smirked as he scanned the area and quickly found her. He reached for his kunai case and threw a couple at where she was hiding in the trees.
He watched her body fall out of the tree and couldn't believe she was that easy to beat when her body turned into a log and he sensed her coming from behind him. He turned around and grabbed her foot that she was trying to kick him with. She threw a punch at his head which he blocked still holding on to her leg.
She made a couple of quick hand signals and his eyes widened in surprise and he jumped away just as she shouted Katon-no Jutsu and she sucked in a breath and blew out a giant ball of fire right at the spot Neji was just standing in
"where did you learn that?" Neji questioned her panting.
"Sasuke taught me before he left" she panted out.
"Well at least you will be some fun for a little longer" the Hyuuga heir smirked and disappeared again.
"Dammit where did he go" Sakura said looking around in confusion. She closed her eyes and remembered what Tsunade had taught her and did another couple of quick hand signals and focused the chakra in her fist and punched the ground creating a giant crater.
Neji not expecting this lost his footing and tripped when a couple of shurikens came flying at him. He quickly twisted his body and landed on all fours and jumped away from the shuriken and ran around behind Sakura who quickly turned to face him.
He smirked and stood there and she reached for her kunai pouch and threw some at Neji and he disappeared in a puff of smoke
"wait a clone" Sakura yelled and took a step backwards and bumped into something warm.
The something behind her wrapped an arm around her waist to hold her still and put a kunai to her neck again "dead" he whispered in her ear and she shivered as the warm air passed by her ear. She then sighed in defeat as he put his kunai away with his one hand still around her waist.
Sakura quickly turned around but realized her mistake as they were now nose to nose Sakura looked up into his silver orbs and was about to say something when they both heard a noise from the woods.
They both turned their heads and standing at the edge of the clearing was Naruto Uzumaki.
He stood there with his mouth open as Sakura took a couple of quick steps backwards breaking Neji's grip on her waist.
"Look Naruto it's not what it looks like" Sakura stuttered walking over to Naruto.
Naruto's eyes were wide as saucers. "You... and Neji are...were??" Naruto stuttered. Then he turned around and ran off in the direction of Konoha.
"Oh no" Sakura said starting to panic.
"What?" Neji cooly asked.
"Well think about it Naruto is dating Konoha's biggest gossiper and my best friend Ino Yamanaka." Sakura stated.
"So" Neji calmly said.
"So Naruto will tell Ino he saw us in each others arms and Ino will tell all of Konoha that we are together or something even worse and then we will have to deal with everyone in Konoha asking us about it or congratulating us or whatever. This is horrible!" Sakura ended almost yelling.
"I don't see what the big deal is. We just go back to Konoha and say it was all a rumor started by Naruto and Ino and deny everything else. Nothing to get so worked up over" Neji said as he started walking back to Konoha.
Sakura followed close behind him muttering under her breath about how stupid men were. When they walked through the gates of Konoha everyone stopped and stared at them as they walked past.
Sakura walked up to Neji's side and whispered in his ear "they are all staring at us"
"so just ignore them" Neji said waking on until a certain blonde haired boy blocked his path at the same time they both heard a high pitched voice yelling at them
"Hey Hey! Forehead girl! Congratulations" Ino Shrieked as she ran up and hugged Sakura.
Sakura looked confusedly at Ino "congratulations on what" Sakura asked.
"On your engagement to Neji Hyuuga of course I can't believe your getting married and you didn't tell me. So when is the wedding" Ino yelled in one breath while smacking Sakura on the arm.
"yea Sakura I thought you would have at least told your teammate" Naruto said looking upset
"wait what?" Sakura said now really confused
"there wont be a wedding because Sakura and I are not engaged so stop spreading your foolish rumors. Now I have better things to do with my time so move out of my Uzumaki" Neji coldly said.
Ino and Naruto looked shocked while Sakura just stood there still looking confused as Naruto moved out of Neji's way a messenger appeared right behind him
"Hyuuga Neji" the man asked.
"hn" Neji replied
"Tsunade wishes to speak to you Immediately" he said emphasizing the word immediately and disappeared with a puff of smoke.
Neji then turned around and headed for the Hokage's tower with Sakura still trailing behind.
"Why are you still following me" Neji asked her
"ummm... I don't know" Sakura answered still looking a little confused.
Neji just rolled his eyes and continued walking. When he reached the door of Tsunade's office he knocked politely. Tsunade opened her door as soon as he knocked
"Neji thank you for coming so soon" she said a little breathless then she turned and looked at Sakura "what are you doing here" she asked her apprentice.
"I followed Neji" Sakura answered looking at Tsunade
"ok well then you wait here Neji please come in" Tsunade said as Sakura took a seat to wait.
Neji walked into Tsunade's office and looked at the mess. "Sorry it's a little messy in here" Tsunade said scratching the back of her head "have a seat" she said pointing to a chair"
Neji sat down and looked up expectantly at Tsunade. "Now you are probably wondering why I asked you to come here and I will not keep you long because you probably have thing to get ready for the big day" Tsunade started.
"The big day?" Neji questioned looking confused.
"The wedding of course" Tsunade said excitedly "so when is it" she asked looking expectant.
"Wait what wedding who is getting married" Neji asked still looking confused.
"Yours and Sakura's of course! You know I consider Sakura just like my daughter and after her parents died I took her in if anyone where to hurt her I would be forced to kill them. Now she has been single for awhile and I have been encouraging her to go on a couple dates but she always says no but I guess she finally just decided to get married so what's the date of the wedding? How long do we have to get ready?" Tsunade blurted out extremely fast.
i dont know if this is any good will be a lemon in later chapters if reviews are good
