Summary: Sakura Finds out somethings about Neji's Personality
Comments: Wow! I'm really glad you guys found the last chapter somewhat funny! That means I did not make a fool of myself. Well for this time around, I don't think this chapter came out very good. Plus, it's sort of short. But that's why I have reviewers right? So far the flamers have stayed at their distance. Yayness. Anyway, for the people reading my other story, I'll update tomorrow. So either you stopped reading, or you want to strangle me, so, on with the story!
-xXx- BEGIN CHAPTER 3 -xXx-
After Ino left, the fun stopped and they released the poor Hyuuga from his 'makeover'. Tenten and Sakura left the room.
"That was just too much fun. I wish it wasn't over so soon." Sighed Sakura, a smile plastered across her face.
"Me too! Neji can be so nice sometimes, I can hardly believe he's the same guy from three years ago"
Sakura scoffed. "Neji... nice. Yeah, right."
"Oh, so you actually tried to talk to him." Tenten laughed. "Well he defiantly has an attitude, but that's just him."
Sakura made a face that said "What kind of drugs are you on, and may I have some?"
This made Tenten laugh even harder. "Don't believe me, do you? Guess I wouldn't't either... But did he go through that torture we'd just put him through? Did he do it without complaint? Honestly now. Even though he was probably thanking you, or apologizing about something, he kept his word. Is there another guy, or anyone, you know for sure would do that?"
I hadn't thought about that. Maybe I just need to get to know him a little more, before I go and think he is a complete jerk. Though he could use an attitude adjustment. She thought.
She slowly turned her head around, sneaking a peak in her room. Neji Had finished removing the feminine things out of his long hair, though it still hung loose. He carefully slid back into Sakura's bed, obviously still slightly annoyed about past events. He looked up and saw Sakura staring at him. He gave her a half confused, half annoyed look. She turned a deep shade of scarlet and snapped her attention back to Tenten.
"I used to like him, you know" Tenten said.
"Of course I know! Everybody knew! Frankly, it was kind of obvious."
Tenten turned slightly pink, and continued. "Well, Neji was, excuse me, still is completely oblivious to my past feelings for him. Thankfully I moved on. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that that Hyuuga genius... is dense when it comes to girls."
Sakura giggled. But she was a little confused. Why in the world was Tenten telling her this?
"Uh, why tell me this? I mean it's good for a laugh, but, seriously."
"Oh, no reason. Just remember to be obvious, Sakura." She laughed.
Sakura had to think about what Tenten had said. Finally getting it, she turned bright red, and smacked Tenten upside the head. (A/N unintentional rhyming, sorry!)
"It's not like THAT!" She whisper screamed.
"Oh, it isn't? I don't know if I should believe that Sakura. C'mon, Neji is here, under your covers, in your bed. He let you play with his hair. After I implied something might be going on, you deny it right away with a red face. Plus he's still here."
Tenten laid out all of the evidence like it was some major court case.
"But the opportunity to emotionally scar you and Neji isn't the only reason why I came. I have to talk to the grump about something. Alone." She said, suddenly sounding serious.
Sakura allowed Tenten in her room. She watched the two friends talk. After they finished their little chat, Neji slowly rose from her bed, wincing a bit. Tenten didn't notice, but Sakura did.
Tenten headed for the door, as did Neji. He was a couple of feet behind her, but he was stopped by Sakura.
"Neji, what do you think you're doing? You're not ready to leave yet! Is one more night bad?" She whispered.
"Tenten is in need of my assistance at her house. That's all."
"Just don't do anything stupid."
"Do I look like Naruto?"
"Neji Hyuuga, was that a joke?" She said laughing, both at the joke and who had said it.
He gave her a look that said "It was a one time only thing, so enjoy it while you can." And then, before he left, Sakura could've swore she heard a "Thank you."
-xXx-
"Tsunade-Sama told me Orochimaru has been spotted in a village far off. She said to tell you and Lee-Kun that you are to look around there, and see if you can find any information."
Neji nodded. This was an important mission, and he couldn't mess up. He turned to the Hyuuga mansion and began to pack for tomorrows travel.
-xXx- The next day, by the front gate -xXx-
Neji was waiting by the village gate. He was leaning against the large wall, growing angry. Lee was unreasonably late. And even the calm, collected young man was getting impatient. This was a vital mission. And usually, the "youthful" teen was on time, ready for action.
"Whatcha dooooin?" Someone had said from behind him.
He turned around to find Haruno Sakura. He also found that there was a hint of mischievous intentions in her jade eyes. This could not be good.
"I'm waiting for someone." He said simply.
"Mind if I wait with you?"
Without waiting for a reply, she leaned against the same wall as Neji.
She knew something was going to happen, and he was well aware she knew something.
"You know, something funny happened yesterday. I ran into Tenten. I asked her if she needed any more 'assistance' around her house."
Oh crap.
"Hn."
"She didn't know what I was talking about. So then, I asked about you..."
Double crap.
"Hn."
"She said something about you going on a mission... Of course I thought that was ridiculous. Because I knew you would've listened to me. So I had to clear it up with Tsunade-Sama..."
Here it comes...
"She confirmed it. Lee-san isn't going, but Naruto, Hinata-Chan, and I are accompanying you, Hyuuga."
