D: I don't own Naruto.

She was shaking slightly while smiling. She was wearing a thin dress. She loved the feeling on her skin. Since she came back, she felt truly alive. She was with the one she wanted to be. Neji had made sure to spend all the time he could with her, she had begun working in the Academy and everybody seemed happy to have her back. She shivered again. Winter was close. She heard the door open.

"Blossom?" his voice came from the inside of the mansion. She made her chakra grow a little for him. He came out "It's freezing, you're going to get sick" he hugged her from behind worriedly.

"It's all right darling. How was your mission?" she spoke sweetly. The ANBU put his head close to her neck, she smelled so wonderful.

"Naruto stumble with branches and hit his head against a tree" she sighed and rested her head on his shoulder. "Darling you're really cold" he held her tighter.

"Then fight me and make me warm" she smiled, he smirked.

"Are you challenging me blossom?"

"Maybe" she giggled. He kissed her neck.

"What we'll my price be?"

"Are you so sure?" she laughed playful.

"Yes" he smirked against her skin.

"The winner gets to choose whatever he or she wishes to have. Let me tell you my prince, I know what I want" she kissed his cheek, and then jumped away.

The Hyuga couldn't help smiling for her. She knew how to make him happy. He went to jump her but she had disappeared.

"Didn't think it would be so easy my love do you?" she giggled from a tree branch.

"But we're not finished my sweet cherry" he was next to her in seconds. The girl let herself fall and disappeared in the air. That's how a persecution started. The couple was having so much fun while running around the Hyuga Grounds. Everybody was shocked to see Neji chasing her around the property. All Hyugas knew he love her but even so, nobody had ever seen the young man acting so care free.

"You won't catch me handsome, you should give up" she sent a kiss his way standing at the gates.

"Don't be so sure baby" he increased his speed almost crashing his cousins.

"Nii san?"

"Sorry girls" Sakura giggled.

"What's going on?" asked the clan leader.

"We don't know father" the three went in the direction the couple had gone to.

"I caught you" Neji held her against the ground, he was smirking.

"You're mistaken baby" her voice was next to his ear and she had disappeared from below him, leaving cherry blossoms instead. This time she hugged his neck and kissed his cheek "I got you" she whispered lovingly. He turned around and hugged her too.

"What's the meaning of this? asked Hiashi. The couple split from each other.

"I'm sorry Hiashi sama, we were just… training" she giggled.

"It seemed more like a game Sakura sama" answered the patriarch with a raise eyebrow. She giggled some more, Hinata and Hanabi followed her.

"I'm sorry uncle; it wasn't our intention to inconvenience anyone."

"Let it go" the leader dismissed the apology "we have all become use to having the strong spirit of Sakura sama around" the older man smirked. Sakura laughed harder.

"Sakura chan, Neji nii san will you have tea with Hinata and me later today?" asked Hanabi.

"We will be happy to" the pink haired kunoichi smiled. She shivered slightly feeling the cold wind touch her skin. She sneezed.

"I think you should move your appointment for tomorrow. Nephew you should take your fiancé inside and make her take a warm bath. I'll order tea to be sent to your room." Sakura sneezed again, this time twice. "Sakura sama you should wear warmer clothes, winter is close" she just smiled amused. Neji wasn't happy.

….

She stood in the bathroom with only a towel covering her body "Neji" she called shyly "Love" she bit her lip nervously.

"Do you need anything blossom?" he called from behind the door.

"I… I won right?" she asked almost out of breath.

"Sakura I don't understand where you're getting at" he wasn't sure if she was fine.

"I want my… my price…I… would…l… like…" she tightened her hold on the towel. "Would you bathe with me?" her hands were almost white. She closed her eyes and bit her lip, she hated feeling so insecure. A pair of arms came to rest around her body and bigger hands than hers came to rest upon hers.

"Let go of the towel love, your knuckles are white" she gasped and let go. The fabric went down to the floor. He put his arms around her belly and held her to his body. She could feel his strong naked body against hers. She became even shyer. "We should get inside the bathtub your skin is starting to become cold" she nodded and knelt inside. He sat with his back to the wall and pulled her in between his legs. She relaxed against him.

"I had wanted to ask you since I came back" she confessed blushing.

"I wanted to tell you too but I didn't want to rush you into anything" he kissed her neck. She moaned softly. "Blossom, if you agree I would like us to set the date for our wedding. I want to be yours forever" she turned to look at him.

"That would make me truly happy" he kissed her softly on the lips. Sakura put her hands over his enjoying the closeness they were sharing.

"I love to have you like this."

"Me too" she purred.

"I know you wanted to get married in fall, if you want to we can wait until next year" from the sound of his voice, she knew he didn't like that idea.

"A wedding in winter is perfect for me" she looked at his hands and started playing with his fingers. He smiled; she was still an innocent girl.

The kunoichi had other plans in mind. She stood straight and slid completely against his body. Neji stiffen when she touch his member.

"Sakura what are you doing?" his voice became hard. She thought he was angry, so she pulled away fast kneeling to the front with her head down and hiding her body with her arms.

"I'm sorry!" she sobbed slightly.

"Sakura, please…" he tried to speak softly for her not to frighten. "Blossom, come back to my arms. I like the feeling of your body against mine; you just caught me by surprise. My body reacts in other ways when I have you too close. I didn't want to frighten you."

"But… but... your voice…"

"Honey the thing is I want you" he blurted out. She blushed completely.

"Do you mean it?" she asked shyly. Neji knelt behind her and pulled her to sit directly on his lap. She whimpered at the feeling of his harden member.

"Is it proof enough?" he smirked.

"Y… yes…" he kissed her cheek. She sneezed.

"The water is starting to get cold darling. We should clean up and finish this conversation in our bedroom" she nodded.

….

A maid had taken tea to their room by Hiashi's orders. Sakura felt warm with the cup between her hands and her fiancé holding her. When being with him, she couldn't help being happy.

"Your smiling, I love it when you smile" he kissed her. She giggled against his mouth. Neji took the cup from her hands, put it aside, pushed her down on the bed and climbed to be on top of her. She put her arms around his neck. He kissed her neck hungrily leaving love bites on her soft skin. She was moaning now. "Tell me when I became lucky?" she moved her head to the side confused. "You love me as much as I love you." She blushed and kissed him. The makeup became hated in little time. The hands of each other wondered touching the other's body.

Then someone decided to interrupt knocking the door. Both of them breathed in pants. Neji looked at her blushing face. Her nightgown straps were below her shoulders. The way her chest went up and down fast had him full of desire but the knocking came again.

"Don't move blossom, I'm not done with you" he smirked the moment her blush became darker. He walked to the door ready to dispatch whoever was at the other side.

"Nii san how is Sakura chan?" asked Hanabi. Hinata was standing behind.

"She's resting."

"Can we see her?"

"She really needs to sleep."

"Please nii san" asked Hinata. "We're… worried."

"It's ok my love" Sakura stood next to her boyfriend. He wasn't happy. The kunoichi was wearing her robe and he was sure she had rearranged her nightgown. "Why don't you have tea with us?" she asked the girls.

"Thank you Sakura chan!" Hanabi hugged her cousin in law. Neji wasn't happy at all. The girls sat around a table in the corner of the room.

The pink haired kunoichi knew her fiancé wanted to continue with their previous activities but she needed to do something before being his. She hated making him wait, yet she wanted to be sure that the day they had their first time together she was ready to give herself fully to him, with nothing in their way of showing their love for the other.

Hanabi and Hinata were really excited when Sakura told them; they would have a winter wedding. The girls told her all the ideas they had for the celebration, her dress, the food, the music and everything else. The medic asked them to be their maid of honor, her cousins in law accepted gladly.

After a couple hours of talking the girls finally left to go to bed. Neji pushed Sakura against the wall seconds after the door had been closed and was kissing her with every feeling he had for her.

"Neji kun" she moaned loudly. He ripped her robe from her body, he wanted her so bad. He moved his hands on her sides, slowly descending. She got scared at the wet sensation in between her legs and her whole body becoming full of need. She moaned again and then sneezed.

The Hyuga stopped what he was doing to look at her. She sneezed again. "I'm sorry love" she said. She wasn't feeling well at all.

"Don't worry babe, you should sleep. You'll be better tomorrow." he carefully tucked her into bed and slept next to her.

….

Sakura ran to the Academy. She knew Neji would be mad when he woke up without her there. She just needed to talk to Minato. It couldn't wait any longer. Her talk with the Hokage took several hours. The blond didn't agree with what she wanted to do yet he knew even without his help she would find the way to go through with her plan. He had finally agreed to help her. He was worried that if he didn't, she would get hurt.

The pink haired jumped from tree to tree until she was in the Academy. Immediately Iruka had things for her to do. She was busy all morning there. Afterwards she went to the hospital. She walked slowly in the streets with her mind full of thoughts. "I hoped with all my heart that you wouldn't come back" Ten Ten stepped in front of Sakura's way.

The medic sighed. "I think you should discuss this with Neji and not me. It's his choice who he wants to be with."

"He won't even look at me with you around."

"I can't do anything if I'm his choice. Understand something Ten Ten, I love Neji more than anything in this world and the only thing I want is for him to be happy."

"You don't get it right?!" Ten Ten was angry. "I can't accept him being with you. I have waited so long for him to look at me. You just came and he decided he wanted you!"

"I'm not arguing with you any longer. I have a meeting with Tsunade sama and Shizune in the hospital." Sakura tried to walk away but the weapon mistress took her by the arm.

"Let go if you don't want this to become a bad situation for you" said Sakura dangerously.

"I want you to leave and never come back" said Ten Ten.

"You're not very smart right kiddo?" Eita was walking their way. "The kunoichi you're talking to is the best. If I were you, I wouldn't make her angry." Sakura pulled her arm away.

"Hello Eita sensei, I see you haven't gotten bored of Konoha yet" the older man smirked.

"It would be ridiculous to leave when the date of your wedding is so close don't you think dear?"

"I see you've been around the Hyuga household."

"I was looking for you. Your future cousin's in law were telling me you asked them to be your bridesmaids" Sakura smiled softly.

"You're getting married so soon?" asked Ten Ten not wanting to believe the old man's words.

"Neji and I agreed yesterday night to have a winter wedding" Sakura knew the news hurt Ten Ten and she didn't feel well about it. "Why don't you go talk to Neji. Give it your last shot."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I told you before, the only thing I want is for him to be happy and if it was with you, I would move aside." The weapon master left without another word.

"After this, Neji must make you happy or I'll make sure he wishes to be death. You are too good for him."

"You're wrong sensei. It's the other way around; he is too good for me." Eita hugged the girl.

"Why did you tell that girl to talk to him when she wants him for herself?" he knew girls would usually want the competence out of the way. Why pushing the other girl close to her fiancé?

"I want him to be completely sure about his decision, so he'll be happy with the person he really wants to marry."

"Kid you're one of a kind. Where were you heading off to?"

"I was on my way to the hospital. Tsunade wanted to talk to me but now, she'll be mad at me for being so late."

"Don't worry; I'll cover up for you." They walked together talking about training tactics until they arrived to the tall building.

Tsunade had a murdering aura around her. She kept barking at everyone that came around. "Why are you late Sakura?!"

"It was my fault Tsunade, I stopped the girl for a small training session."

"There's no excuse. I've been waiting for her!"

"Tsunade sensei the truth is I found Ten Ten on the way here and I had to talk to her for Neji's sake. She is after all his friend."

"You need to come by to have a checkup, as you know it's a requirement for all the Konoha ninjas."

"I'll talk to Shizune about it" the blond woman agreed. The young kunoichi left the office with the two senseis making bets.

"Sakura I'm glad you're here" Shizune stopped her on the hallway.

"Tsunade just told me about the checkup."

"Come by tomorrow. Neji was here about an hour ago looking for you. He didn't seem too happy. Is something wrong between you two?" Sakura sighed.

"I left without telling him this morning, he's probably worried."

"Is there something you want to talk about?"

"I'm all right Shizune chan" the pink haired answered.

"Sakura what's going on?"

"There are just some things I had to take care of this morning" the kunoichi smiled falsely.

"If you need anything, you know Tsunade and I are here for you.

"Thank you, now I should get going back home" the pink haired left. She arrived home and found a maid.

"Has Neji sama arrived yet?"

"He is in the library with Ten Ten san."

"Thank you" Sakura felt her heart pounding in her chest. She went to the thermal waters in the property. She got into a towel and sat down. She bit her lip. She couldn't help feeling scared. He was the only one that had made cause that feeling in her, not even in missions did she felt such a great fear.

"I looked for you the whole day. Where were you?" she heard the voice of her boyfriend or soon to be ex?

"I had to be in the Academy, go see the Hokage an… and… g… go to the… h… hospital" she stuttered nervously.

"Ten Ten told me she spoke with you."

"Y… y…yes" she seemed out of breath. The kunoichi heard him approached her.

"Why don't you look at me?"

"Please just tell me what did you decide. I need to know." She spoke with a pleading voice.

"Sakura" he said her name softly before pulling her to his body. He took her chin carefully and made her look directly at him. Her eyes showed the terror she was feeling. "I told her I can only love you. I can't be away from you…" she closed her eyes and crashed her mouth against his in a needing way. He held her close. "Why did you leave so early without telling me this morning?"

"I had to be at the academy" she hid her head in his chest.

"You're hiding something from me, I can feel it."

"Please, don't ask me anything more. I don't want to lie" Neji didn't press her anymore. He was willing to wait.

"Is she gone?"

"Yes, I don't think she'll be around for some time." Sakura bit her lip. She had never meant to cause trouble between him and his friends.

"You know?" he smiled softly. She looked into his eyes. "You keep bringing me to places with water where we are almost naked. You don't know how sexy you look and how much I desire you" Sakura blushed a dark shade of red, Neji smirked.

She smiled when she realized he was trying to calm her and relaxed against his body. "Please, whatever happens remember I love you with all my heart." She whispered before falling asleep in his arms.

…

Hope you like it.
