-xXx- BEGIN CHAPTER 2 -xXx-
Neji's eyes were slowly opening, his pearly white still adjusting to the light.
Still, everything was a little blurry to the awakening Hyuuga.
Where... Where am I? The hospital? No...
He tried to sit up, but his injury would not allow him.
'Now who bandaged this up? Just what happened? Damn this wound. Why won't it heal? Calm down, Hyuuga... Figure out where you are before you go overboard a "small cut." He thought to himself.
He took a deep breath and started to relax. His vision was already starting to clear. The more he blinked away the sleep the more he could see.
When his vision was finally clear he heard something to the right side of the unfamiliar room.
He whipped his head around to find a certain pink haired girl, sleeping peacefully on the floor. Obviously, she had fallen out of the chair she fell asleep in.
Is that... Haruno? She did this?! Hopefully she's certified. Unfortunately, It looks like I'm stuck here. Though, I probably would've been fine on my own. Thought Neji slightly irritated that she brought him somewhere unfamiliar, instead of his house. After all, everyone knows where the Hyuuga Mansion is.
He glared at her. What were her thoughts on this anyway? Wouldn't the hospital be a more logical place?
Did anyone see her bring me here?
He clenched his teeth. He hoped no one saw that. Being carried by a little girl... nothing could be more humiliating.
He then noticed she started to wake up. It looked like she never changed out of her clothes from yesterday.
"Oh, Hyuuga-San... How are you feeling? Are you ok?" She said as she rubbed her eyes.
Silence.
He threw her an infamous glare. He had no intention of being polite.
"Hello, Hyuuga-San? I asked a question. No offense, but I expect an answer." She said, growing annoyed at his silent treatment. And that awful glare. She would not except this.
"Wouldn't you think a hospital is more suited, Haruno?" He said in his usual cold voice.
"Exuse me?"
"There are more experienced doctors there. But I'm sure you're intentions meant well." He replied.
He noticed Sakura's growing anger, and mentally smiled.
This little girl is easy to anger. Scaring her off with just a glare won't be possible. Hopefully she won't be to hard to get rid of. He thought.
Sakura closed took a deep breath. She let her fists release back into the relaxed position that they were in before. She opened her eye's and she had appeared to have lost all of her anger.
"You're right, Hyuuga." She said.
She gave up already? That was to easy. At least she won't bother me anymore. He thought. But he knew better. This was far from over.
She smiled and said, "Next time I see you drowning in a pool of your own blood, I'll leave you there. Fair enough?" She had caught him off guard, and she knew it.
But before she could gloat over her unexpected victory, they both had heard a knock at the door.
"Sakura? Sakura dear? Are you ok in there? I thought that I had heard you talking to yourself, and I thought maybe someone'e there. Is there someone in there?"
Neji had suddenly found Sakura's hand over his mouth.
"N-no! No one's here Okaa-San!. I was just listening to some music and I probably had it on too loud."
No way she's going to buy that. Neji thought.
She obviously hadn't thought this through. It's obvious she had just made that whole thing up. Just what is her plan? Did she plan it at all? Neji thought, Sakura's hand still plastered tightly over his mouth.
"Oh, ok then. Tsunade called. She said you could stay home today." Sakura's mother said as she had started to walk away.
Sakura sighed in relief and let her hand drop form Neji's face while he thought to himself, Obviously the apple does not fall far from the tree.
"Have you thought about this at all? Does anyone know I'm here? Or did I just suddenly evaporate off the face of the earth" He said.
"Yes I have thought about this. The hospital was full, and no one was free to look at you. And, no, no one knows that you're here. Except Tsunade-Sama. I wouldn't want your ego to be hurt as well as that nasty cut."
Neji knew she had won that round. But he wasn't about to give that easily. But, right then, he knew that he also had to...ugh... Thank her. What she did was somewhat stupid and reckless, but kind none the less.
"... How long do I have to stay here?" He really didn't feel like talking anymore. Talking that much was like talking a whole week for him. Besides, people didn't usually come up with comebacks, and therefore, left alone. Sakura however, had a quick tongue. She was a difficult person to deal with.
"O-HO! So now we've finally realized that we are stuck here. One more night should do it. But don't go on a mission for a while. You're still recovering."
"Is there anything I can do for you? Although this is annoying, I need someway to take thank you."
Sakura had not expected this. Neji Hyuuga... The difficult Neji Hyuuga wanted to thank her? Time to take advantage of this little offer.
"Well..."
"What?" He had a feeling this was going to hurt... a lot.
"There is something I've always wanted to do..."
"What?"
"Let me call TenTen and Ino-Pig! They have to help. This is going to be fun!"
-xXx-
I wonder why Sakura had invited me to her house... TenTen thought.
I know that we're friends, but this was sudden.
She had reached Sakura's building. Knowing Sakura, she probably left the door open.
She waved hello to Sakura's mom, and ran upstairs to her room.
She knocked on Sakura's door. Inside, she heard giggling and laughter.
"C-come in..." Ino said through her giggle fit.
TenTen opened the door and saw what was so funny. She, in fact almost died form laughter herself.
She saw a furious Hyuuga Neji, sitting on a stool, while Ino and Sakura were playing with his long silky hair.
From what TenTen could tell, he had small little braids in random spots and tiny daises all over his head.
TenTen ran out of the room and into the bathroom, unskillfully hiding her her howl. Tears streamed down her face she laughed so hard. After she could control herself somewhat, she back to the room.
"Neji, you look so prett..."
"Not a word." He spat, as TenTen ran over to join the band of the giggling hairdressers.
