I'm baaaack!!! This is another one-shot. I know a few of you would have liked me to continue that as a multi-chapter story….I've got a few ideas, but I need to organize them. I'll then post it differently if you want me to.
Thanx so much to everyone who reviewed. You really made my day.
I don't won Naruto, trust me, I've tried and failed.
He knew he was going to regret this.
He needed someone's aid. He had tried planning it on his own. He had thought of asking everyone he knew. But he soon ruled out that idea.
Hianta? Nah! She would probably go red and stammer. Naruto? No! He would offer something ramen-related. Ino? How could he ask advice from a person he never talked to? Shikamaru? Troublesome…..
How about Tenten? No way, Hyuugas were known to be dignified. He couldn't stoop that low. Kiba? He put that out of his head immediately. He wanted advice on how to approach his girlfriend, not a bitch.
He finally settled on his uncle. I must be crazy…… or that desperate. Or both…. His mind reasoned. Hn, he thought.
He gently slid open the door. 'Uncle?' he called out meekly. What a foreign word for the 24-year-old Shinobi! Meek, indeed!!!
'Yes, Neji?' his uncle's emotionless, pale orbs fixed themselves on the young Hyuuga's nervous face.
'I-I came t-to as-ask you something!' Yes, he thought. Could I get anymore stupider?
'What is it, my boy?' he enquired, his face softening. 'It-it's about Haruno….' Before he could continue, the older Hyuuga interrupted.
'Ah yes! The girl you have chosen to bear the heirs of our clan, I presume?'
If I said Neji was surprised, it would have been the understatement of the year. It was more like shocked, dumbfounded, baffled, bewildered, puzzled, aghast, appalled, balled over, blown out of the water, floored, stunned, traumatized ……..
'Um...Er…yes! Abou-about Th-that!' He rubbed the back of his neck, messing up his hair.
His uncle raised an eyebrow. He had never seen his young nephew so flustered.
He gripped Neji's shoulder, 'Who are you and what have you done with my heir?' Neji grinned.
Then smirking he retorted, 'Maybe I should ask you that! Who are you and what have you done with my uncle?' he mimicked.
His uncle released his shoulder with a subtle smirk of his own.
Neji decided to ask, 'How do I…..' Then he decided against it. All that Hiashi saw as he turned was a blur of crème' and black.
Neji stood in front of the mirror. 'S-saku-ra? Wi-will you b-be…' Too much like Hianta. Let's try that again. 'Sakura, let's discuss this over ramen shall we?' Ahem! 'Sakura, I demand…. Ino! No way! She'd refuse in a second.
'Troublesome' Damnit! 'Listen, do this and we can howl every night away passionately.' Nah, too Kibaish! 'How about, Sakura, I wish to father your children?' I would get slapped for that.
'Oh this is fucking stupid!' He yelled, frustrated. He failed to notice the pair of amused green eyes that watched from the door.
A pair of slender arms wrapped themselves around his neck. 'Relax, Neji-kun!' whispered the melodious voice of his blossom.
And suddenly, everything fell into place. 'Marry me!' he breathed, bringing her closer. The kunoichi (sp?) in his arms was stunned momentarily. He felt her stiffen in his arms.
'I-I totally understand if-if you-you don't want to! I-I mean I won't understand, but-but it-its ok….'
She looked up at him and effectively silenced him with a chaste kiss.
'You speak too much!' she said.
Another sucky chapter from, yours truly……
Was the ending too abrupt? Tell ma about it in your reviews!!!!
