(Wow.... 16 chapters)
Chappie 16: JEALOUS FEELINGS SHOW!
Sakura shuffled next to Itachi. She was just thinking how hanesome he was.... 'Maybe, I can love you...' She thought.
With all the movement, Itachi woke up showing his dark eyes to find green ones staring back at him.
"Sakura...." He whispered.
"Morning!" She chirped happily back. "Thanks for the massage! That was GREAT!"
"Sure... Anytime. Umm...." He looked over her shoulder and stared at a digital clock. "You can still make it to school you know." He joked.
Sakura moaned. "I'll make it up. I'm too smart to study anyhow."
"You sure?" He asked smiling. "I'll drive you."
"No... No need. I don't want to go. I want to be here... With you! I wish I could stay forever!" She moved over to hug him. "I love you Itachi!"
Itachi laughed. "So, thats what it takes?"
"What what takes?" She said holding onto him.
"All I have to do is buy you gifts and give you a massage."
Sakura snorted. "So that was your plan all along!?"
"Maybe."
She sat up and stared down at him. "I can't believe you!"
Itachi laughed again. "I can't believe you!"
"It was a good plan. But it didn't work on me." She sighed. "You treated me, with respect. Any guy would've taken advantage of me that night. I was dead drunk! But you didn't, and for that, I owe you even more!" He said joyfully, with her eyes shining. "Thank you!"
She tackled him and they both rolled to the floor. "WOAH!" He yelled.
She looked down at him, her body pressed to his. "Sorry..."
Itachi groaned. "I don't know why, you don't look heavy, but you are..."
Sakura frowned. "Is that anyway to treat a lady!?"
"No..." He said sarcastically. "Anyway, I better get you home. I was intending to call your parents to let them know you where at a friends house. But my mind was out of whack when I saw you. I bet your parents are worried."
"*Hmph* I bet.... They're just over protective." Sakura rose up from Itachi to let him get up.
Blushing Sakura turned to she won't be caught 'peeping'. She picked her clothes up off the floor and put them on. "Um.. I guess, I should sneak in all the clothes we bought huh?"
"Yeah. You better. Or your parents will be furious." Itachi said in a normal tone.
Sakura put on her shoes and turned. "Umm..." She saw Itachi with a all black outfit. Black jeans and a silk black shirt. "You like black?" Sakura joked.
"Stop joking around. Lets go."
"Okay."
They both made their way out the door.
Itachi stopped the Escalade in front of the Hanuro estate. "Well, this is it." He said breathlessly. "I hope you don't get in too much trouble. I'll unload all your stuff tonight. Too bright right now." He smiled and stroked her hair. "So, I'll see you tonight. Shall we go on another date maybe?"
Sakura smiled back at him. "Maybe. If we don't get caught."
They kissed each other a few times before speaking again. "I'll see you later..." He said kissing her on her forehead.
"Okay." She said trying to open the door, Itachi was too busy trying to keep her from the door. He kissed her trying to put hickeys all over her neck and upper chest. Sakura couldn't stop laughing. "Let me go! What are you doing!?"
"Alright. I'll see you later then." He back off.
"Okay.... Later." She opened the door and stepped out. She closed it and waved to Itachi as he left.
She turned and saw... "NEJI?"
He glared at her. His breath was heavy, and so was his stench. It seemed like he hadn't taken a bath in DAYS. And he looked.... Pissed.
"Where have you been?" He asked harshly.
"Umm... Are you okay Neji? Have you been searching for me all night? WHY?" Sakura asked urgently and trying to avoid the question.
"We need to talk." Neji stated.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura and Neji sat uncomfortabley across from each other at a low table. They were in Neji's room. Sakura had seen how blank his room was, but now he had posted a few science test papers on his wall. Sakura had helped him with all of the tests that was on the wall.
The room was quiet. Everything was silent except for Neji (Who was frowning) sipping his tea. Sakura dared not touch hers.
(A/N: He's not stinky anymore people! So stop holding your nose! Hee hee! ^^)
"So... Did you have fun?" Neji asked nonchalantly.
Sakura frowned. "Don't ask me that... Its none of your business! I don't know why you have to pry in my life!"
Neji smirked. "He's just using you."
"He is not! He'd never use me."
Neji was going to say something but they heard a thumping noise near his room. Then there was a knock at the door. "Come in." Neji ordered.
"Hi Sakura.... Neji..." Hinata said bashfully opening the door. She held a plate and put it down on the table. "I brought you some cookies. Just in case you-"
"We have no time for this. Were in a serious conversation." Neji growled.
"I- I see. Can I ask one more question?" Hinata said timidly. "Its about Father, did he tell you about the dojo-"
"Yes he told me! And never bring it up! Leave."
"Y- Yes...." Hinata closed the door and ran downstairs.
Sakura banged on the table with her hand. "WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN TO HER?!"
"Its none of your business..." Neji said cooly.
"SO YOU CAN PRY INTO MY LIFE AND I CAN'T ASK ABOUT YOURS?" Sakura asked defensively.
"Thats not what I'm doing.... I'm just protecting you!" Neji stated.
"YOUR JUST PROTECTING ME? HAH! I've seen better protection made by Sasuke...." Sakura huffed.
"Look!" Neji raised his voice which is really not normal. "If your too dense to see that I'm in love with you, then you deserved to be killed in the streets!"
Sakura eyes widened. Neji closed his eyes tight and winced at what he just said. "Sakura?" He asked.
Sakura was too surprised to say anything. But managed a "Yes?"
"I'm asking you, as a man, to marry me." Neji said shyly.
Sakura's heart skipped a beat. "You... you what?" Sakura shook her head and came out of her crazy imagination. "I can't marry you! I'm only 14!"
Neji popped a squat next to her. "Not right this minute... I mean like, when were..." He sighed. "Older... To carry on the dojo, I have to marry Hinata. I don't want to marry her and carry on the dojo. Neither does she. So if we don't marry, my other cousins will. They are already in love, but we are first in line, so if we don't, they get to."
*~(A/N: I Don't know anything about Neji's clan! So don't flame me if I get some facts wrong! -.- Waaait... what facts!? I'm making this up! So don't get mad!)~*
"Are you just using me, or-"
"I do, honestly love you."
"But why can't you carry on the dojo. I thought you wanted to?" Neji said nothing. "What is it? You can tell me!"
"Lets just say, it confines me from what I really want to do."
"This is too sudden. I can't just.... I just.."
"You have time to think about it. Just know, that I will take care of you as a man. And as a friend.... I'll love you." Neji reached over and kissed her forehead. (Everyone loves that forehead!) He smiled. "Cookie?"
Sakura blushed at Neji's beautiful rare smile. "Why not?" She laughed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Where is Shikamaru!?" Ino growled. "He said our date is right after school!" She looked at her watch. "He's 20 minutes late. " She slouched against the building.
"Ino! What are you doing?" Naruto asked coming over to her.
Ino recapped on the kiss he gave her the other day. (Boys, kiss her and shes yours! LOL) She blushed. "Well, I uh...." Ino gulped. 'PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER GIRL!' She thought. "I'm waiting for Shikamaru for our date!"
Naruto opened his blue and curious eyes. "Yeah? I don't know where he is."
"Umm... Where are you going by the way?" Ino asked trying to make a conversation.
"I'm going home. Then to Hinata's. Hinata and I are study partners. Like Neji and Sakura-chan. I was hoping that we could be in a big group and study."
"Neji and Sakura? They make a cute couple somehow.... Do you anything about them yet?"
Naruto thought a minute. "Well, they are always hanging around each other. I have no idea." Naruto waved. "Well, I have to go! See you later!"
"Okay..." Ino smiled. 'I can't believe I'm being nice to him. I guess he can be sweet.' Ino frowned. 'I'm getting hungry... If Shikamaru doesn't come, I'll leave and get something to eat without him!'
Ino sensed someone was behind her and turned. "Shikamaru?"
"Ino!" Shikamaru waved across the school sidewalk.
"Hi Ino!" Tenten waved. She was beside him still laughing at whatever Shikamaru said.
"Tenten? What are you doing here?" Ino asked feeling a bit jealous. 'What is she doing walking with him!? Is that where he's been? Talking to her?'
"I was just hanging out with Shikamaru! We've decided to go to the science fair together." She smiled craftily. "Were definatly going to win! Right Shikamaru!?"
Shikamaru laughed. "Of course!"
Ino frowned. 'This doesn't seem right.... When did they become so chummy?'
"Shall we go Shikamaru?" Ino snapped taking his arm. 'HE'S MINE TENTEN!' Ino thought.
Shikamaru taken aback by Ino's behavior let her take his arm. "Sure Ino."
Tenten came up to Ino. "Your going to wish us luck right?"
Ino burned with anger by Tenten's annoying tone. But she had no choice but to be nice. "Y-yah...." She replied sarcastically.
"Good!" She patted Shikamaru's other arm. "Bye Shikamaru." Tenten cooed.
'SHIKAMARU! WHATS UP WITH HER!?'
*Oh dear.. what a mess. Tenten is trying to take Shikamaru? The couples not my favorite, but, ya know, I have to sort out this NarutoXNarutoXShikamaru triangle. Tenten will help it out. You'll see! I don't mean to scare you InoShika fans! Don't worry! How you guy feel about a TentenXGaara couple? I have noo idea! ^^ AND NEJI ASKING SAKURA TO MARRY HIM!? WHATTA SURPRISE!
