Chapter 2: A New Side of the Hyuga Boy

Sakura walked to the Hyuga Compound. It was extremely larger than she recalled. Neji knew that Sakura would more than likely come to visit him. Neji had calculated all of their characteristics together, and he came to one conclusion. Tsunade was a good matchmaker.

Sakura was led into the dojo by Hinata's father, Hiashi Hyuga. Hiashi winked at Neji, but Sakura didn't notice since her back was facing him. "Good morning Neji-san." Sakura said, trying to be nice. Sakura frankly didn't know what to talk about.

Neji smiled, "Good morning Sakura, I assume your day has gone well so far."

Sakura smiled, "yes, it has gone very nicely. What do you want to do today we have the whole day together."

"Hmm. It's a beautiful day, what do you enjoy doing?" Neji said trying to avoid annoying her with his thirst to test her strength in a sparing match.

Sakura smirked, "would you like to spar, Neji?" Neji smiled. She read him like a book.

Sakura got into her Taijutsu stance, "Just regular hand to hand combat, no fancy fist stuff, K?"

Neji smiled, "That's fine with me, I'll still win."

Sakura rolled her eyes as the extreme size of his ego. Sakura had been training with Tsunade, and had developed a lot of the strength Tsunade had. One hit, and Neji would be out for a while. If she could land a hit. Sakura was throwing shots left and right, but Neji just evaded them.

Sakura saw and opening, and went in for the hit. Luckily, Neji saw this coming and shifted his foot so that she lost her footing. Sakura fell back on her butt, glaring up at Neji. Neji just laughed. Sakura pouted, which Neji thought was the most adorable thing he had ever seen. Neji gave Sakura his hand so she could get up, but as soon as she grabbed it he pulled her close to him.

"N-Neji?!" Sakura said startled.

Neji smiled leaning forward, "The fight is not over yet" he said releasing her.

Sakura smirked and jumped at an angle, kicking him square in the jaw. Sakura hadn't noticed her strength until Neji flew into the sidewall of the dojo. Neji climbed out of the new hole in the wall.

"Wow, your really strong." He said staggering.

Sakura went to help Neji sit on pillow in the corner. Hiashi came into the room wondering what the ruckus was. Hiashi looked in shock at what he saw. Neji was lying almost unconscious in Sakura's lap. Neji smiled as he closed his eyes.

Sakura looked up blushing, "Shhhhhh" she says putting her finger over her lips.

Hiashi was still in shock slowly backing out of the room. Sakura pulled the string out of Neji's hair, and slowly ran her fingers through it. He looked so sweet lying there with his hair around his face.

"You should leave your hair down more often, it's kinda hot."

Neji opened his eyes giving her a skeptical look, "Hnnn." Was all he said.

The sun was setting, and Sakura was starting to fall asleep. Neji had been asleep, but he was kinda heavy and she couldn't get out from under him without waking him up. Sakura slowly angled herself were she could lie down and not wake Neji up in the process. The next morning Sakura woke up to warmth she hadn't woke up to in a long time. Neji had moved in his sleep and wrapped his arms around her. She had snuggled into his chest as well. As soon as she moved Neji's eyes fluttered open. "Good morning." He said letting her go and stretching his arms.

Sakura rubbed her eyes, "I should probably go, I'm supposed to get to know all of the guys on the list, and because I only have a week that means one guy a day."

Neji smiled, "See ya later."
