DISCLAIMER: Blood Cobra and Tough Bitch does not own Naruto or any of its characters.
NOTE: This chapter was originally done by Tough Bitch (A/N: she kept on changing her pen name, from Dark Angel to Obviously Cute to finally, Tough Bitch). I revised and changed some parts to make this chapter more interesting and meaningful.
Neji's POV
I was racing through the forest...I stopped on a tree branch that overlooks a scenery. 'It's very...ehem...peaceful.'
/Sometimes goodbye
Though it hurts in your heart
It's the only way for destiny/
FLASHBACK
"I SAID LET ME GO!!!" Sakura shouted. She was now hitting Sasuke's chest with her closed hands. After a while, she stopped and cried harder.
"I'm sorry Sakura, I'm sorry." He whispered. He lifted her chin and pressed his lips against hers. Sakura's eyes opened wide. She froze. They pulled apart after a few seconds. Sakura couldn't say anything. She just looked at Sasuke like he's an alien or something.
Sasuke breathed in hard before saying, "I'm sorry for always pushing you away. All I want to say is that...I'll always be here for you...even if you love Hyuuga Neji more than I."
"Sasuke..."
This time, Sakura was the one who pulled Sasuke into the kiss. She forgot about everything she said about Neji a while ago. The one they're sharing this time was filled with more passion, not like the one they did earlier.
END OF FLASHBACK
Now, thoughts of Sakura are playing in my mind. A beautiful girl with pink hair and green eyes was now looking at me...
/Sometimes goodbye
Though it hurts
It's the only way for you and me/
'No, I have to forget about her!'
FLASHBACK
Sakura and Sasuke were already ahead of Naruto. They were now jumping on the trees, but they didn't notice someone following them.
Sakura heard rustling behind them. She got sooooo distracted that she slipped from the tree she was jumping on. "SAKURA!!!" Sasuke yelled.
Before he even got to her, "somebody" already caught her bridal style.
"Thank you..." she looked at "somebody", "NEJI?!" Neji's face was only inches away from hers. Both of them blushed furiously.
END OF FLASHBACK
But I couldn't forget about her. No matter how hard I try, I just couldn't. Her image doesn't want to leave my mind.
/Though it's the hardest thing to say
I'll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye/
FLASHBACK
It was already night time when they got there. They laid their sleeping bags on the ground and slept.
In the middle of the night, Neji heard someone/something move. He stood up and followed the figure. It went to a tree branch so he was sure it was a person. He saw a shade of pink in the darkness. "Sakura..." He went up to the tree. Neji sat down next to Sakura. There was an awkward silence.
"Nice weather we're havin' today." Sakura blurted out without thinking. She laughed at her own stupidity. Neji tried HARD not to look amused. A smile crept up to his face. "I guess so 'cause I never seen the sun shine so brightly." He replied sarcastically.
While gazing at the stars, Neji felt a weight on his shoulder. He tilted his head and saw Sakura sleeping soundly. He blushed and responded by laying his head on Sakura's as a sign of a developing relationship.
END OF FLASHBACK
'Sakura, I know that you're going to hate this but...I had to. Because even if you deny it I know you love that Uchiha kid more than you'll ever love me. Please go on with your life without me...don't be sad. I will always cherish every moment I spent with you. I know that you're strong. It's been a pleasure meeting you, Haruno Sakura. I will always love you.'
With that, tears began to well up on my face. Yes, THE Hyuuga Neji is crying.
/But don't you cry/
'The ironic thing about this is...Sakura...you don't even know that Uchiha returns the same feelings as you have given him.' A smile is finally on my face. I wiped away my tears with my hand.
'Now, my adventure begins...'
/Coz' true love never dies/
"If you really love somebody, you should set them free..." (A/N: they weren't really yours in the first place)
