"Hold still."
"Neji."
"Yes?"
"Seriously, my legs are starting to ache."
"Can't you even hold still for five minutes? I'm almost finished."
"I don't even spend this much time on my hair, and I'm a girl!"
"I can tell. These knots are a dead giveaway."
Sakura pouted and attempted to escape the hands that were latched onto her head and skillfully untangling the mop of pink she liked to call hair, but said hands were quicker, and easily grasped her shoulders and pulled her back against a hard chest.
Her pout deepened.
"Why exactly are we doing this again?"
"Because I don't like the fact that when I run my hands through your hair, they get stuck."
"It's not like it's my fault. I just spent two days straight at the hospital. I didn't even have time to come home and take a shower. Cut me some slack!"
"You know, I spent a week in Kumogakure once, escorting this "respected Lord" around and constantly fighting off other enemy ninja and when I came back, I had highlights in my hair. True story.
An unconcealed snort escaped Sakura and she turned to give Neji an incredulous look before his rough hands forcefully returned her to her previous position. She pouted once more before drawing her legs up to her chest and clasping her arms securely around them.
"Big deal. We can't all be perfect like the Hyuuga's at any given moment. We HUMANS need to breathe once in awhile."
She felt rather then heard the older man grunt behind, and turned slightly to smirk at him knowingly. "What? Are you prepared to tell me otherwise?"
He grimaced slightly, eyes still focused on the comb he was running through her hair, all the while attempting to turn her head back around. She struggled against him though, and managed to escape his hands long enough twist around and grasp his thighs; preventing his movement just in case he attempted to bolt. He placed his own hands on top of hers, as if to say that two could play at that game.
"Well, Hyuuga?"
Neji rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "'Well' what? The Hyuuga's are one of the greatest assets to Konoha; I think anyone could admit that. But even a clan as great as the Hyuuga can have its own internal weaknesses."
"You mean like being obsessive compulsive about hair and completely vain about there looks?"
The young ninja looked at her as if she had just stated that it was in fact, possible for a human woman to give birth to puppies. Sakura burst out laughing.
"Heh, relax Hyuuga. I'm aware of what your talking about, I'm just messing with you since you keep calling be a slob."
"I wouldn't if you didn't act like one." He pointed out.
"Well, you must like it a little that I'm a slob or you wouldn't be sitting here, in my apartment, complaining to be about it. Seriously, you and Ino are like, tied when it comes to bitching to me about my 'slovenly-ness', or whatever."
She got up and returned to sitting in his lap while he brought the comb back up to her hair and continued with his tasks.
"Hmph, that may be, but that blonde nuisance and I aren't tied at everything." To make his point clearer, he allowed one hand to snake around her waist and draw her closer to him; all the while his other hand had long since forgotten it's hair combing duties and was busy stroking the length of her neck.
Sakura smiled and turned to plant a kiss on the brunette's lips. "Heh, actually Neji-kun, you'd be pretty surprised."
This time, when she felt the Hyuuga stiffen underneath her, she didn't bother correcting him as she laughed.
