Neji turned to Sasuke who was glaring daggers at him. He knew he mess up big time and the one thing on his mind was his girlfriend and that's it. Using his Byakugan he could see her making her way to the hospital exit/entrance. Neji quickly left Sasuke to wonder what the hell was going on and made his way to stop Sakura.
Sakura reach for the door when someone yank her around she looked at them, "Neji…let go of me" she said as Naruto and Hinata came through the door. He didn't listen and she pulled her arm out of his gasp, "I can explain, everything" he said while trying to calm her down, it wasn't good that she was so mad especially not for the baby. "I don't want you to, you had your chance…why would you say the things you said" she said trying not to cry but, she did. He saw all the hurt in her eyes and it made him even more upset with himself for making her sad/mad. He wanted to wipe those tears that strain her cheek, but didn't want to make her even madder. "Not here" he said reaching for her hand which she quickly moved. "You're not coming home with me…not ever" she said turning around to walk. He roughly turned her around as a hand came in contact with his face leaving a red mark. She slapped him, she slapped him hard, Neji clenched his fist no one ever hits him and not get hit back. Sakura saw his hand and looked up at him with sincere eyes.
"I…wasn't going…too" he said surprise at his own reaction; Sakura shook her head backing up slowly,
"I hate you" she said walking out the door, Neji's eyes widen at her words, she meant them and she meant them with so much meaning. Her voice even had the right tone, a tone that meant what came out the mouth…pure hatred nothing less.
Naruto and Hinata looked at the scene, not understanding and not believing their eyes. They knew that Neji loved Sakura and just knew that what he had done was because of that. Naruto walked up to him, "Come on maybe you can explain to is what the hell is going on" he said letting out a grin.
Walking into one of the rooms in the hospital Neji leaned against the wall while, Hinata sat on the bed, Naruto stood by the small desk. Naruto and Hinata looked at eachother than at Neji waiting for him to explain his actions.
"Your father was here today" he said looking at Hinata. "Sakura was healing him and I was in the room. He started asking her these questions, who the father was? I said Sasuke was" said Neji.
"WHATTTT" said Naruto, Hinata looked at her cousin reading his eyes and emotions she understood why he did it.
"What the hell would you do that for, Sakura-Chan loves you how the…hell could you hurt her like that" said Naruto clenching his fist. There was a long paused,
"Because he's part of the Branch Family" spoke Hinata. Naruto turned to her; "Yeah, well I know that, but, what does that have to do with…." he began.
Neji took off his double headband, showing the mark on his forehead. "That mark" said Naruto.
"It's the branch family duty to be mark and cursed for life while protecting the main family. My child will not be mark" he said clenching his fist until there was blood dripping down.
"That's why you said Sasuke was the father, so that your kid wouldn't have to be mark like you are" said Naruto. Hinata stood up,
"Neji keeping this from my father will only make him madder and if he finds out…" said a worried Hinata.
"He wont" said Neji glaring at the two.
"No worries here, I don't want that baby to be mark in anyway…trust me" said Naruto.
"What about Sakura, you have to tell her, and what about everyone else, if father suspect something than he wont stop until he finds out the truth" said Hinata.
"I just need to find Sakura"
Sakura sat down on a bench in the park by the lake. Tears kept falling down from her face and no matter how hard she tries she couldn't stop them. She was mad at Neji but, mostly mad at herself for slapping him, not giving him a chance to explain and for saying that she hates him when she really loves him to death. The thought made her cry more as she pulled her legs against her chest hugging them tightly. Someone tap her shoulder and she turned to them.
"Sasuke" she said as he sat down by her. He leaned forward looking at his hands, "Listen Sakura, I don't know what is with Neji but, I do know this and he is a descent guy…when it comes to you anyway. I'm not going to say what he did was wrong but, let him explain because he's hurting more than you are…after all he was the one who said it" said Sasuke. Sakura looked at the ground, "I just want to go home" she said.
"Want me to take you" he said
"No, I need time to myself to think" she said while getting up and walking away.
Maybe she should let Neji explain, truth be told she couldn't' face him he hurt and she hurt him pretty bad. They got through so many problems so she just knew that they will get through this, if not for eachother than for their baby. Walking out the park she bump into someone because she was lost in thought, and it seem that person was to.
"Sorry" she said looking up at them, "Neji" she said turning her face away from him. She played with her fingers like Hinata does when she is nervous about something; she still does it with Naruto when they are alone. All that anger from before was pouring into her head again and it took her a few seconds to gain control.
"Neji, I'm sor…ry" she said before his lips crashed on hers. They kiss passionately before she pulled back and stared at the him walking back slowly.
"You're not Ne...Ji" she said walking back. The fake Neji smirked, walking to her. "What are you talking about" he said.
"I know Neji, and your not him so who are you" she said fearing for her baby's life. The fake Neji transformed himself and her eyes widen.
"Mr. Zing" she said confuse.
Mr. Zing is the boy's father that Sakura killed a year ago. She only met him once and he wasn't happy. Who will blame him; she did kill his only family. Sakura felt bad looking at him; he brought so many memories back to her head. Taking away a small innocent child will forever haunt her and not for the good. He seem to have gone into a psycho sage and she blamed herself. "What are you doing, you look sick" she said afraid of what he came for.
"I just want what you took away from me" he said.
"I'm sorry" she said tears coming down. "Sorry is not going to help. It didn't help you a year ago and it's not going to help you now" he said. Sakura wanted Neji, if there ever was a time she really needed him, it was now.
"I want your kid" he said.
