ShikaSakuNeji 2
"Sakura... Sakura... Sakuraaaa" I woke up to Shikamaru standing over me calling my name. I blinked a few times looked at the clock and blinked again before getting up and tripping over Neji. 'Oh shit.' I thought he was at the foot of the bed that's why I rolled out towards the bathroom and got up. I apologized when Neji glared up at me and ran in to the bathroom to hop in the shower, I was running late for work not by much but still that could be a life on the line. I took a quick shower wrapping the towel around myself and running towards the closer for my work clothes. When both men stared at me as if I'd lost my mind I realized what I had done. 'Aw Fuck it I'm running late any way.' I ran back towards the bathroom closed the door and dressed rapidly fast. I put my shoes on and caught what one of the guys threw my way. I glanced down to find a bacon and egg bagel and I smiled before leaving.
"Thanks guys I really appreciate it. I'll cook dinner tonight I promise." I said closing the door running top speed towards the hospital, as soon as I got through the front doors I was called in for a surgery. I rushed to the room putting mentally cutting everything out unless it had to do with medical things. That was just the start of my very long schedule I came in just in time for my 8 hour shift at 6 A.M I left out at 2 having completed 5 serious life and death surgeries, 6 bone repairs for clumsy genins and civilians 5 check ups and 3 births. When I got off I headed towards Shisou's office to see if she needed me to stay any longer. I waited for her to say I could come in before walking in.
"You look ran through today girl." Shisou said. "How was it at the hospital today, What am I in for later?"
"Well I did 5 surgeries, 6 bone repairs from the civilians and silly genins 5 check ups and 3 births. I think you should be fine unless you have last minute walk in's that are on the brink you should be good. If you need me I'll be home sleeping before training with the boys. By the way I'm planning on getting a bigger apartment." I said knowing she'd understand why I said that last part.
"Oh really why is that?"
"Let's just say that I had two men move in because they were having family issues they picked me cause I'm rarely home and I appear to have no interest in men anyway." I said in code that only she and Shizune would understand that, that is what I'll be telling anyone who asks why two men were living with only me. Shisou laughed a hearty laugh and told me to write in a scroll juicy detail I gave her a disdained look.
"You can talk to Ino about what goes on in the house." Meaning you can tell Ino about the crazy house situations but nothing Anbu related.
"Yea yea yea I hear you. I'm going home now." I said again exiting through the window. I really wanted to hit my bed and sleep for a few hours but I did promise to make dinner for tonight. I stopped by the market picking up a few things I was going to keep it simple sense I'm too tired to really make full course meal pasta it will be. I also picked up a chocolate cake from the bakery sense I'd been craving a lot of chocolate lately. When I got in the house no one was there so I washed my hands and prepared the meal. An hour later I had finished I turned off the stove and dragged my ass towards the shower before Slipping on a big t-shirt and falling asleep on the bed not even bothering to get underneath the covers. When I Woke up Neji was softly shaking me calling my name out, I opened my eyes and heard him say come eat before we go train. I kicked off the blankets before realizing I was only in a T-shirt inwardly shrugged it off and made my way towards the table.
"So…. I'm thinking of finding another apartment." I said as we ate at the table. "The recent incidents should be reason enough. But I'm thinking a 2 bedroom, because it will be a while till you guys go back to your own places but I'm not swimming in money if you know what I mean." And just as I said that I felt a chakra signature at my door. I stood up to get but that was in vain seeing as Ino let herself right in.
"Forehead, I brought you a gift I saw it and thought it would look good on-….. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE."
"Troublesome…..Ino shut the door before yelling so the whole neighborhood can here you." Shikamaru said. She shut the door and then yelled again to our displeasure.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?"
"They needed a place to stay for awhile and because I'm not like you and I'm rarely home I agreed to let them stay here… By the way we have got to talk about the raising voice thing." I said before taking another bite of my barely touched food.
"You. Outside. Walk. Now." She said in her no nonsense voice before staring down Shikamaru with that 'Your next boy' face. I faced palmed before finishing my food in three bites 'courtesy of Naruto and Kakashi training me to eat that fast' grabbed a pair of old sweats before gliding them on without a thought.
"Don't take to long Sakura." Shikamaru said casually, I blinked before shutting the door behind myself. I hadn't even shut it completely before she began to fire questions at me.
"What are Neji and Shika doing at your house? Tell the truth. Are you fucking them? Are they good? I bet Neji has a great bod…. Why didn't you tell me? Answer me woman."
"I told you why they were here. They both have great bodies and dude I got caught staring at both of them after they showered. I'm not fucking them…though I would say yes if they wanted to….I didn't tell you because they only moved in yesterday and I plan on getting a bigger apartment. No one is to know they live with me except for you." I said all in one breath as we headed down the stairs and onto the street.
"Gimme details now."
Neji Pov
When Lady Tsunade called me into the office yesterday I hadn't expected to be told that I was going to be reassigned to a new Anbu group but you never know what to expect from Lady Tsunade. When she said that we had to move in the only female in our new group's house I knew things were going to get a little out of hand, but I also knew things would definitely be interesting living with the Hokage's minni me. I've heard a few things from Hinata and Naruto's and a few of the rookie nine about the fiery female who would be on my team. I thought of it as an opportunity to get to know her better, she's totally different from the pathetic little thing she used to be years ago. She left in clear anger before the hokage could speak again
"Your new assigned room is the top room of the Anbu building you'll share that floor with 2 more elite teams as soon as I and the counselor member's make them up take care of her." She said with a wink before she ignored us in a way that told us she was finished with us. We both went home to pack our bags.
Yesterday when the Nara heir and I came to move in with her she had been sleeping from the looks of it. She opened the door with little to nothing covering her body and I have got to say I'd never given her a glimpse in that way, and I've got to say I've been a fool for not noticing just how beautiful she'd grown up to be, and from the slight change of expression on Nara's face I bet he was thinking the same thing and then she realized why we were there.
"Welcome to my home the left bedside drawer is up to one of you to use. A side of the closet has been cleared for you to use. If your ever bored and feel the need to read there are medical books over to your right on that shelf their all stored in the scrolls because I have more than enough books. Kitchen, bathroom and TV whatever you please, now if you'll excuse me I'm going back to sleep." She said before lying back down in her bed. I headed for the drawers after sharing a look with Nara he looked toward the closet with a shrug that said he didn't care either way. I opened one of three scrolls and began unpacking I kept my boxers in the bottom drawer along with my weapons the top drawer I filled the top drawer with my some every day clothes and a few Anbu clothes. I could tell she couldn't fall asleep due to our noise so I tried to finish packing as fast as I could. I ended up leaving two of the scrolls un-open until I had time to unpack without disturbing her. Nara seemed to have the same idea sense he hadn't bothered to open the other two scrolls but instead headed towards the kitchen.
As soon as it was silent Haruno was sleep in record time, it would seem she can fall asleep very easily if it's quiet, I noted before turning my attention towards the kitchen where Nara took it upon himself to cook. I sat on the laz boy closes to the window and really examine the room. It wasn't really as girly as I thought it would be, and it really didn't hold that much character. It held couches, drawers, a bed the bathroom and the kitchen and if the scent of her shampoo wasn't evident you wouldn't think anyone ever came home. The only thing that I found of character was the picture of the old team seven and a pictures of her and Naruto or her and Sai (more like her hitting Sai) her and Sasuke sitting next to each other eating ramen, Ino and Sakura laughing brightly together. The pictures seemed to be the only flavor in the room. It showed just how much she valued her friends. There was even a picture of my cousin and sakura smiling gently at the camera. I didn't know Sakura and Hinata were close, that'0s interesting.
Nara came from the kitchen and asked quietly if I'd like to play a game of shogi to pass the time. I agreed and we played silently only making slight noise when Nara went to check on the rice and meat he was cooking. I tucked that information away as well, who knew the supposed lazy man knew how to cook.
"hmrfd saaidfnd baka."Sakura muttered in her sleep. Nara and I looked at each other both with raised eyebrows. I guess it never occurred to either of us that she talks in her sleep. I waited to see if she'd say anything else but when she didn't appear to say anything else I went back to concentrating on the game that I was currently losing, Nara wasn't said to be a genius for nothing I suppose. "Shut up….stupid.." she spoke again before turning over to right side.
"Troublesome…. That's going to be annoying on missions." Nara said quietly.
"She'd most likely be to alert to go into a full REM sleep on missions." I said after a moment of thinking.
"That maybe but if she's exhausted like she appears to be she may not be able to control that. If she even knows she sleep talks."
"Nara, of course she knows your team mate would know of course Hinata and the girls had plenty of sleep overs." I said as an afterthought.
"Hm." He said before moving another shogi piece. "We'll know soon enough. When she wakes up we need to go train." He said and then we played in silence for about another thirty minutes before Sakura finally opened her eyes. Nara gave me the look that said he didn't feel like saying anything. Sakura got up silently not really acknowledging us and I immediately knew she wasn't much of a talker when she wakes up. She washed her hands and proceeded to eat.
"Good evening Sakura, we would like to go out and train some if you don't mind." I said quietly as I moved a piece on the bored while Nara stared at the board with a look of concentration.
"If that is what you wish." She replied simply finishing her food and grabbing clothes to throw on to prepare for training. As soon as she headed towards the bathroom Nara and I made fast work of putting on our Anbu clothing letting our masks rest on the side of our faces. I was yet again surprised at how fast she moved. She came out to see us in full Anbu gear sighed before grabbing her Anbu outfit and rushed back into the bathroom coming out faster than the first time. Her Anbu outfit was all black and ridiculously form fitting it's strange how I never noticed how nice she filled out. Her shape was…. Nice…. She was busty but I'm a butt man and she wouldn't let anyone down in that department either and from the looks Nara gave as he gave a once over he was thinking the same thing. We glanced at each other and shared a knowing smile. Yupe…. This will be an interesting team alright. After she put her black gloves on and put her mask on we were all ready to go.
The fight was interesting as well. Sakura moved in unpredictable ways in my opinion she picked up a fucking tree and threw it to distract me before she threw a kunai that lightly grazed my skin. I returned the favor by rendering her left arm useless though she broke a few of my ribs. That was the most interesting match against a female that I'd ever had, the rumors of her fighting style didn't live up to her name yet in Konoha and if I must say so I feel as if she still had room for improvement even as good as she is.
After she healed me in record time, which did not surprise me since I usually requested Sakura whenever I end up in the hospital due to the fact that she's fast and efficient. I fought Nara next, Nara had a whole different feel of fighting where as Sakura was unpredictable but straight forward, Nara thought several times ahead of me and it was kind of annoying how his predictions came with counterattacks that had me on my A game the whole time, both of us came out with an injury or two though mine was less intense. I had to say though I wouldn't mind having these two guard my back. They were some serious fighters the more I'm around the two of them the more I start to like this team. Especially Sakura who was not only smart fierce and beautiful but she wasn't obnoxious and annoying like the Yamanaka girl.
After Shikamaru declared that we would be training tomorrow Sakura vs. Him and whatever else he said she sprinted towards our temporary home to shower first. Nara and I watched as she left before proceeding to discuss what we noticed with each other.
"She's full of surprises." I muttered thinking of the fireball justu she used randomly to distract me.
"Indeed. You move in a precise way… there's almost no way to penetrate the barrier's you put up. I know there is a weakness there but it seems as if you've gotten better at covering it."
"When you find that weakness feel free to give me suggestions on how to fix it." I said to the genius team leader. "I think Sakura needs more tai justu training though, maybe we should suggest to her training with Lee." I said thinking of my old team mate.
"I was actually thinking about it. We'll see tomorrow though after training. I feel like Kakashi Sensei had to have taught her something valuable though, and she is unpredictable." We pondered for a moment before starting towards the house we left in and as we neared the house we henged into regular clothing since we didn't have a key. Sakura opened the door dressed in t-shirt and really short shorts that showed off her long legs. Yeah… she filled out nicely over the years. Nara actually looked away for a split second though she didn't notice.
"There is the extra set of keys you guys decide who gets them, I'll get another set made tomorrow." She said causing Nara to sigh before handing me the keys muttering troublesome to himself before heading to the bathroom. I sat in chair watching as Sakura occupied a chair across from me. I was wrapped up in my own thoughts. "Do you still live on the Hyuga Compound Neji?" that question caught me completely off guard.
"No, I decided a while ago that I'd rather just live on my own without the clan head- without having to follow as many rules I would have had to live under." I said as she thought of what she wanted to say next.
"I certainly can't say that I blame you for that probably were one of the harder decisions to make. Are you happy with your decision?"
"I'm satisfied with all of my choices Haruno" I said in the end of conversation way it was nothing against her but I really hated speaking about the Hyuga ways. She looked as if she wanted to say something but Nara exited the bathroom topless and he had her complete interest as she watched water fall down his chest she blushed lightly before looking away. That has got to be the first time I've ever seen Nara smile that mischievously it kind of reminded me of Naruto in a weird kind of way. Though I couldn't blame him I'd be flattered as well.
I stood up and headed towards the showers wondering if she'd have the same reaction as she had with Nara. I took my time in the shower since I was the last one and it took forever to wash my hair. I washed it thoroughly before stepping out and drying it off lightly after drying the rest of me off and throwing on my sweat pants. I opened the door as she opened the front door. She froze their staring at me blushing and I couldn't help but to let the same smirk that Nara had on his face light my face up as well. I could see Nara trying to hold in his laughter as she reclosed the door in embarrassment. Both of us let out a few chuckles as I went over to the couch and sat down on the other side of the couch.
"Seems like the little rumor of Sakura being a bit of a pervert when it comes to wet men is true." Nara said letting me know he had been testing the theory out earlier to see if it was true. I couldn't stop the laugh I let out but I made sure she couldn't hear me laughing.
"You are truly a character Nara." I said still amused. He never got the chance to respond since she came back into the house completely ignoring us.
"Hey.." she spoke randomly catching both of our attention she was smiling a small smile so I was wondering what was coming next. "I'm putting the tree up tomorrow after I get home from the hospital, you guys want to help?" She asked with a lift of a hopeful eyebrow. We looked at each other for a split second before Nara spoke.
"Sure, but where are we going to put it?"
"Near the TV of course I can't put it where I would normally because you guys need space to sleep. And it's not as big as you would think it is." She replied.
"…troublesome woman…..alright if that's what you want." She caught both of us of guard when she threw her scroll at his head. Note to self … She will hit or throw something if pissed off. She then smiled happily. She placed the ice cream in the freezer before going to sleep I made a mental note to get a few bites of it when she or the Nara weren't paying attention. I love chocolate….
"Goodnight." She said turning over on her stomach.
"Goodnight Haruno." I said.
"Night Sakura" Nara said and then we heard the soft tell tale signs that she had fallen asleep. Nara and I also went to sleep since I had plans to spar with Lee and Tenten in the afternoon tomorrow.
Unfortunately I woke up to the sound of an annoying alarm that annoyed Nara enough to force him to get up and turn it off. I was eternally grateful for that, and then he proceeded to wake Sakura up. She didn't get up till after the third time he called her name, finally she got up only to kick me in the stomach and trip over me. That really pissed me off she's an Anbu for pete's sake she should have known I was here. I glared at her though I didn't mean it as I had a sneak peak up her shirt. Heh heh. She apologized before running to the bathroom showering and returning in nothing but a towel I was cooking her breakfast because it didn't seem she was going to eat anything the way she was moving. Nara and I both got a taste of what we dished out last night as she came out wet with her long pink her waving past her mid back. She hadn't even noticed us staring at her until she just grabbed her out fit and rushed back into the bathroom. She dressed even faster than last night. She put her shoes on in a hurry just as I finished wrapping her breakfast which I through as she opened the door. She caught it glanced down at it before thanking us for it, promising to make dinner.
For the rest of the day I was distracted, I couldn't completely focus on the fight between Lee and I causing myself to earn a pretty ugly bruise on my side. When I got back to the house Nara was sitting at the steps staring at the clouds. He stood up as he sensed my presence, yea she really needed to hurry up and get a copy of that set of keys. When I opened the door Nara and I froze in place at the sight we came …'home' to. Sakura was sprawled across her bed with the t-shirt barely covering her breasts and her underwear completely visible. Her skin was surprisingly scar free considering the fact that she's an Anbu. Nara moved first going through closets in search of something. He found a blanket and covered her with it out of respect, I felt the same way but at the same time it was a loss. We let her sleep for another hour before I woke her up to eat and prepare for training.
"So…. I'm thinking of finding another apartment." She said as we ate at the table. "The recent incidents should be reason enough. But I'm thinking a 2 bedroom, because it will be a while till you guys go back to your own places but I'm not swimming in money if you know what I mean." And as she said that I felt a chakra signature at the door. She stood up to get it but whoever it was let themselves in.
"Forehead, I brought you a gift I saw it and thought it would look good on-….. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE."
"Troublesome…..Ino shut the door before yelling so the whole neighborhood can here you." Nara said as I watched on in silent amusement. She shut the door and then yelled again to our displeasure.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?"
"They needed a place to stay for awhile and because I'm not like you and I'm rarely home I agreed to let them stay here… By the way we have got to talk about the raising voice thing." Sakura said before taking another bite of her food.
"You. Outside. Walk. Now." Ino said in a serious voice before staring down Nara with an obvious look that said 'Your next' face. Sakura faced palmed before finishing her food in three bites. Putting on a pair of sweats in front of us like it didn't matter.
"Don't take to long Sakura." Nara said casually, she blinked before shutting the door behind herself and we moved towards the door to hear what was being said. She barely shut the door before a load of questions were fired her way.
"What are Neji and Shika doing at your house? Tell the truth. Are you fucking them? Are they good? I bet Neji has a great bod…. Why didn't you tell me? Answer me woman."
"I told you why they were here. They both have great bodies and dude I got caught staring at both of them after they showered. I'm not fucking them…(moment of silence)….I didn't tell you because they only moved in yesterday and I plan on getting a bigger apartment. No one is to know they live with me except for you."
"Gimme details now." Was as far as we heard before they were to far away.
"At least she's a clever girl." Nara said.
"I actually want to hear what she's going to tell yamanaka." Nara looked at me with a quizzical face.
"Do you always address people by their last names?" he asked, I hadn't noticed that I did that.
"….." I didn't have anything to say to that. " I'm not close to them so I don't use their first name."
"Just say Shikamaru and Sakura for now… We're going to be close enough anyway." he said quietly before grabbing Sakura's and his plate and washing them. He dressed in his gear and I washed my plate speechless before changing into my Anbu gear as well. We waited patiently for Sakura who came back sooner than we had expected. She grabbed her gear and dressed in the bathroom just as fast as last night and we were on our way to the same training ground as yesterday. The fight went by fast seeing as Sakura's tremendous strength and Nar-Shikamaru's genius seemed to even them out. Sakura moved fast, really fast who ever she trained with besides the hokage taught her very well. Shikamaru seemed to see through her moves before she even decided what to do next but he still had problems avoiding her attacks because they damaged a lot of things in the process like yards away. He couldn't completely avoid the attacks like I couldn't yesterday. They both looked depleted by the time they finished. Then Shikamaru suggested the fight without any use of chakra.
Even without the use of chakra Sakura's hit's could easily break a few bones, her tai justu was better than I had thought and she actually over powered Shikamaru with her flexibility and strength she seemed to move like liquid. He threw a punch and she literally bent her body in a way I couldn't even begin to describe and from the look on Shikamaru's face (eyebrows shooting up, mouth in an 'O' and eyes wide open) he had been just as surprised as I was. She was very clever indeed.
"Alright, alright let's head on home." He said. "This time I claim the first shower." He added as he jetted towards the house and I smirked as I caught on to the reason why. Sakura's eye brows shot up in confusion and I let out soft chuckle. I guess she was still a little naïve in some ways.
"Your quite the fighter blossom." I said distracting her before she did catch on.
"Thank you, your not bad yourself Mr." she said with a light smile completely forgetting Shikamaru's weirdness. We started home fast and when we got through the door we found Shikamaru sitting on the couch hair down and slightly wet from his shower. Sakura took good care not to stare and again I smirked as she grabbed the shirt she was wearing earlier and headed in to the bathroom. I waited patiently and took my turn when she returned and after I came out she began her talk from earlier.
"So about the new apartment thing I mentioned earlier."
"You don't have to pay for it by yourself we might as well get a 3 bedroom place and split the rent groceries and utilities." Shikamaru suggested.
"We might as well by a house then." I said with slight sarcasm I was kidding but I guess they didn't get it. I smiled to myself reminding myself that I'm not exactly a good joker. "I wasn't serious.." Sakura smiled before shaking her head at me.
"So i work every day so one of you or both of you should start looking for a place. One that's conveniently close to the hospital and the Hokage building please." She said as she cut herself a piece of that delectable looking cake, I guess she caught the look on my face because she handed me the first plate then Shikamaru and one for herself. I was fine with all this since my lease would be up this next week any way.
"Alright alright, we got it woman." Shikamaru said. She threw him a dirty look that said 'don't push it'. She ate her piece of cake fast before heading off to bed.
Sorry its alittle slow for now but it will pick up I promise….. how do you guys like Neji's character I still kept him on the quiet and slight untouchable air but his inner thoughts are amusing right? Lol comments are welcome.
