"Oh great she's all patched up! Sasuke-kuuuuuuun it's time to go!" Karin screeched while dragging him by his arm through the curtain that separated Hinata's room from the hallway. His eyebrow twitch was almost imperceptible but I caught it and I smirked. His feet stayed rooted and the same spot and his eyes kept darting down either side of the hallway and it finally clicked why he was waiting.

I cleared my throat,"I'll tell Sak-Haruno-san you send your regards. You don't have to keep your wife waiting any longer. I'll tell Naruto too."

Karin practically jumped to the ceiling in excitement and Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "Hn. Later." But I could read the look he was sending my way as they trailed down the hallway. 'Don't you hurt her again Hyuga.' I could practically hear it in that stoic voice of his. If I were a lesser man I would've laughed. 'As if she'd give you the chance to hurt you again. Or do you not remember the slap she so lovingly delivered 10 minutes ago.' My heart clenched and I had to steady myself on the wall. 'Why does she still make me feel this way? It's been three years...' Just then she rounded the corner with a pile of blankets and pillows that almost covered her face and I was impressed with the familiarity and grace she weaved in and out of the hallway. She was no longer the shy nervous resident either. Her bright white coat ('when did she put that on?') and cotton candy hair stood out against the sea of the baby blue scrubs and white nurses hats that the nurses had to wear. She brushed past me and pillow on top of her pile got caught on my shoulder and almost sent her tumbling backward if I didn't steady her with a hand on her shoulders. I grabbed the pillow from her and she looked up at me, her emerald green eyes narrowed.

"Thank you." She spat and sauntered into the room. Her attitude was just the same as I remembered it and I could only smirk at the memories of a red-faced Sakura huffing and puffing because she was mad at me, which I thought was absolutely adorable and it would only make me laugh and of course that only made her more upset. I shook my head and followed after her.

Naruto had fallen asleep on the floor next to Hinata's bed, his arm straight up so he could still hold her hand, and Sakura was hovering him with a pillow and a blanket like a mom tucking in her child.

My throat went dry at the thought of Sakura tucking in a baby that wasn't ours. 'Then why are you engaged to another woman?' I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't even realize she was speaking to me until she looked up at me, hands on her hips and eyebrow quirked.

"Ah. Sorry. This situation has me particularly introspective tonight. Do you mind repeating yourself?"

She sighed and shook her head,"ne. Her vitals are fine. Perfect as possible actually. I wasn't sure if you planned on staying as well so your blankets are over there and you still have that other pillow. So if there's anything else you need please don't hesitate to let the nurses know. I am off shift in," she paused to look at the wall clock, "...two hours ago. I will be back tonight to check up on her. Her doctor until then should be around soon to introduce themselves." She finished quietly with a nod of goodbye.

Without thinking about it my hand shot out to catch her by the arm. "Sakura. The Uchiha said goodbye." She raised an eyebrow at my hand that was still wrapped around her arm and I released her. "I apologize." And because of the look she gave me, I was sure we both knew I was apologizing for more than just grabbing her arm. Her eyes clouded with a strange emotion and she rushed through the curtain again.

"Fuck." I whispered.

"And you say I'm an idiot." Naruto said from the floor, his eyes still closed and his voice hoarse from the nap he had. "Don't let her go this time Bastard. You have plenty of money without working at your Uncles company and you won't have to marry TenTen. You've postponed the wedding three YEARS Neji. We know you don't love her. You know you don't love her. Shit, I'm sure even she knows you don't love her." I wanted to punch the smug look off of his face, and because I couldn't do that without harming Hinata, I settled for storming out dramatically. But even then I could hear him sigh, "stupid."

I lived in a lavish house (mansion) on the far side of town, it was almost a half an hour drive from the hospital. I was so busy replaying Naruto's words in my head, I didn't even realize that by the time I had pulled into my driveway only 12 minutes had passed. I took a deep breath to calm myself before entering my home, because TenTen, my fiancée, could practically smell when I was upset and this wasn't a conversation I wanted to have, especially not with her. I could only imagine how it would go:

"Mou, Neji-kun what's wrong!" She would pout, poke, and prod me until I sighed and gave in.

"Well, fiancée, the doctor who performed Hinata's emergency surgery and saved. her. life. happened to be the one and only Haruno Sakura. The very same Haruno Sakura that beat you out for volleyball captain when she was a freshman and you were a senior at Kohana U. The very same Haruno Sakura you caught kissing me when she was shit-faced drunk when I had picked her and Hinata up from a party and brought them back to my campus apartment. The very same Haruno Sakura that I fell in love with but you weren't there to see it because you transferred to Otogakure U to chase Rock Lee after you caught me kissing her. The very same Haruno Sakura that is the only woman I have and will ever love besides my mother."

Then she would cry and run to her father who would in turn run to my Uncle and call off the merger between our two companies, that has been postponed for three years because I keep "wanting to solidify our relationship" (aka I don't want to marry her), and I would get fired. Yes. It would go splendidly. I sighed and hit my forehead on the steering wheel.

KNOCK. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

'Speak of the devil and he shall appear.' I sighed for the umpteenth time today and turned to see the chocolate colored eyes of my fiancée.

"MOU, NEJI-KUN WHAT'S WRONG!" She yelled through the glass.

'Oh here we go.'

Hahahah Neji called it! See you next time!
