Recap: While you were in the hospital Neji seemed cold, but he was actually worried. When you both got out of the hospital you apologized. One thing led to another and you were inches from Neji's lips. The moment was interrupted by your team though and Lee started to flirt with you, which Neji did not like at all. After talking, Neji and you were alone again and he decided to confess his feelings for you.

You were standing only a couple of feet from the Hyuuga Compound shocked at what Neji just said. You couldn't believe he just said that to you. What should I say? I mean, I have been having these strange feelings lately, but does that mean I like him? You were so confused and when you were finally about to say something, you hear someone calling your name. "Kokoro!" You turned around to see Tenten running to you like someone is dying in the distance. "Hey Tenten, is something wrong. Didn't we just see each other?" You asked her, completely confused, but relieved that she got in the middle of Neji and your conversation. "No, nothings wrong. I forgot to ask if you wanted to go shopping with a couple of girls and I," she said in a really high voice and then clapped her hands together, smiling happily. "I don't know, I am not one of those girls who shop all the time," you said and she frowned while unclasping her hands. "C'mon, it will be fun! Even Hinata is going," she said and thought about it for a couple of minutes. "Fine, I'll go, but only because you asked," you said and smiled, but then thought about Neji. "Great, were leaving right now." Without saying anything else she grabbed your wrist and started dragging you to where the shopping area was. Before Tenten dragged you out of Neji's hearing distance, you quickly yelled out, "Neji! I'll talk to you later when I get back!" Neji was just standing there, not knowing what had just happened.

After leaving Neji in front of the Hyuuga Compound dumbstruck, Tenten led you to a flower shop. In front of the it was Hinata and two girls you didn't know. One girl had pink hair, a pink outfit, and green eyes. The other girl had blonde hair, a purple outfit, and bandages around her that were in different places.

Tenten walked up to the three girls and introduced you to the two that you didn't know. "Hey guys! I want you to meet Kokoro. Kokoro this is Sakura and Ino," she said and pointed to the pink girl, then the purple girl. You lifted up your right hand in the air and waved it saying hi. "Now that everybody is introduced, let's go shopping," Tenten yelled enthusiastically and jumped in the air, while Ino and Sakura screamed happily. Everyone except Hinata and you ran into a clothing store. "This is going to be a long day, isn't is Hinata?" You asked her and she nodded, while you sighed. When Hinata went into the clothing store that the girls were in, you sighed again, and reluctantly followed.

Couple Hours Later

"Hey Tenten, do you still like Neji?" Sakura asked while she was in a dressing room trying on her billionth skirt. Your ears perked up when you heard the question and hoped that she said no, but didn't know why because you still didn't know if you liked him, yet. "No, I kind of like Kiba now, he is more on the wild side, and I like that," Tenten replied and you sighed in relief. "So, you and Ino still like Sasuke?" Tenten asked with a laugh. "YES!" Both Ino and Sakura said at the same time and you could hear the growling coming from both of them in the dressing room. "We all know that Hinata likes Naruto," Tenten said coming out of the dressing room finally, but with no clothes in her hands. Hinata blushed at the statement and put her forefingers together, while looking away from the dressing room. "It's okay Hinata, have you asked him on a date yet?" you asked her and she blushed a darker red while shaking her head no. "What about you Kokoro? Do you like anyone?" Sakura asked and she came out of the dressing room with no clothes in her hands either. "Yes, she does actually. She likes Neji," Tenten said and you blushed a way brighter red than Hinata did. "I…I…," you couldn't even say anything because apparently she knew you liked him, but you didn't. "I saw you guys getting closer together when Lee, Gai-sensei, and I were coming to see you. So don't try to fake us out," she added and you looked outside, away from the group.

"Hinata I think we should go before we are late for dinner. We do have to cook it, so I don't think the guys will be very happy when there stomachs are growling," you said and stood up. Hinata nodded and stood up too, looking at the girls who were all finally out of the dressing rooms. "You know, I just noticed that you guys just tried on all those clothes, but didn't even try on anything," you said and they all smiled. "We don't have any money," they all whispered and you laughed because you just sat there for hours watching them try on outfits, and they weren't buying anything! "Bye guys, see you tomorrow," Hinata and you said while walking out of the clothing store. "I never want to go shopping with them ever again." Hinata nodded and then started running to the Hyuuga Compund with you following behind.

By the time Hinata and you got to the Hyuuga Compund it was an hour before dinner needed to be served. So without talking to anyone, you guys ran into the house, toward the kitchen, and started to cook. You decided that something easy and nutritious would be good for dinner, so you suggested Ratatouille. It had vegetables and pasta, which was good because it only took forty-five minutes to cook.

Finally, dinner was served. It was five minutes before dinner and Hinata was relieved that she wouldn't get in trouble for serving dinner late. Everything was set on the table and the food was on all the plates, everyone having the same amounts. Hinata and you walked over to the door and rang a bell that said that dinner was ready. You waited for people to come down and when they did, they went into the dining room sitting in their assigned seats. Everyone just stared at the food, thinking that it was going to crawl off of their plates. Hirashi poked his fork into it and when it didn't move, he put some pasta and vegetables on his fork, then finally took a bite. After that first bite he started shoving it into his mouth. "This is great girls!" When he said that everyone started to eat slowly and then they also started to shove it into their mouths. Hinata and you both looked at each other with looks that said yes, we did it!

After dinner you were completely worn out, so you went to your room, took a shower, and changed into your nightwear. As soon as your clothes hit your skin, you opened the covers on your bed and passed out.

Neji's P.O.V.

Before Kokoro left to go shop with the girls she said she would talk to me when she got back, but right after dinner she disappears. I heard the shower awhile ago, so I waited for her to come to my room so we could talk about earlier. I am not even sure if telling her I like her or almost kissing her was a good idea, but even after a couple of days of her being here, I have strong feelings for her. All I want to hear from her is that she likes me back, but I am kind of nervous that she is going to reject me.

Well, no more sitting on this bed, I am going to go see what she is doing. I got up and opened up my door going a couple feet to the left, then stood straight in front of Kokoro's door. I knocked lightly on it and when I heard nothing I knocked a little louder. It was almost ten at night and I didn't want to wake anyone up so I just opened the door to see what she was doing. When I saw her on the bed sleeping, all I could think was how beautiful she was. The moon was shining through the window on her face, so she looked just like an angel. Before I knew what I was doing, I was walking toward her bed. When I got there I put my hand on her cheek and she moved into it. I wasn't sure if I should move or stay still, but I moved on my knees instead, so my face was right in front of hers. As soon as I inched closer to her lips, her eyes fluttered open.

Sorry it took so long to update, but I plan on updating more of all my stories. Hope you liked it, review if you want to!
