Chapter Two: Neji's Observation, The guessing begins!

As Sakura and her team moved towards the gates of the village Lee hadn't let up the entire way. Showing Sakura how much stronger he had gotten since they had last saw each other. How much he had changed to show that he was worthy of her. She just smiled at him, congratulating him on his accomplishments. Ten Ten and Neji followed a few steps behind the two. Ten Ten giggled,

"He's laying it on kinda thick don't you think?"

Neji shook his head while closing his eyes,

"It doesn't matter anyway she is already spoken for…"

Ten Ten stopped walking and questioned,

"Huh?"

Neji pointed to Sakura's hand, specifically to her ring finger, Ten Ten's eyes lit up as the ring sparkled. She shrieked softly as she picked up her pace walking in stride with Neji again.

"I wonder who she's getting married to…"

She wondered aloud. Neji shrugged and was about to say he didn't know, which was a lie, but she interrupted,

"Do you think we should tell him?"

Neji was about to say not to when Ten Ten was no longer by his side, and walking up behind the two. Neji sighed,

'Why even bother asking me if you don't want to know my answer.'

He grumbled to himself. Ten Ten blurted,

"I'd watch yourself Lee…"

Lee stopped walking and shot her a questioning stare.

"Wh-what do you mean?"

Ten Ten smiled as she reached for Sakura's hand, raising it up to show the engagement ring. Lee stood in shock as Ten Ten smiled,

"I'm not sure her Fiancé would approve. When's the big day Sakura?"

Sakura smiled a slight blush creeping to her cheeks,

"Should be two weeks from today, depending on when he gets home from his mission."

Lee Visibly upset yelled,

"Who is he? Who stole my cherry blossom?"

Neji was tired of wasting time, he walked up behind them, dragging Sakura away from them as Ten Ten exclaimed,

"She was never yours Lee!"

Once they were out of ear shot of the two he exclaimed,

"He doesn't want this…"

She looked up at him with a questioning stare, Neji took her hand and pointed to the ring,

"He told Hinata to tell me to keep an eye out for you before he left, he knew this was going to happen, so he asked Lady Tsunade to have you with us because he knew that Lee would die for you, he loves you, Ten Ten would easily fight by your side, and my alliance with my sister and her team would keep you safe."

Sakura smiled as she shook her head,

"He is too much sometimes…"

"He is very protective of you, along with his entire clan, his mom loves you to pieces, you're the first ever outside person to ever marry into the clan. His father loves you quick temper and bubbliness. They couldn't have wished for anything better."

Sakura blushed while she giggled,

"Stop your making me blush…"

As she lightly punched him. He smiled as Lee and Ten Ten finally caught up with them. Lee's heart sank,

"Neji? It's Neji?"

"No! No! I am positive that Neji has his sights set on someone."

As she looked at Ten Ten making her turn a crimson red color. Neji just smiled. Lee looked as though he was about to cry,

"who is it Sakura?"

She just smiled at him and kept walking. Lee quickly followed her. Neji smiled at Ten Ten ushering her to follow, she smiled and nodded as she walked by his side. They were walking for a while,

"Do I know him?

Lee questioned,

"Uh huh…"

Sakura answered,

"Have I ever fought him?"

"Nope"

"Did he go to the academy with you?"

"Uh huh."

"Was he in the chunin exams with us?"

"Uh huh…"

"Did he move on?

"Yup."

"Did he become a chunin?"

"No I'm not with Shikamaru."

"Choji?"

"No way!"

"Naruto?"

Neji was getting annoyed now,

"You idiot he's married to Hinata…"

"Kiba?"

"No but your getting close.:

Neji exclaimed. Lee stopped short and yelled,

"Neji you knew this whole time! TELL ME!"

Sakura giggled but stopped as she noted Neji's concentrated expression,

"They're here."
