No guts No Glory Chapter 14

Neji was walking down the streets of Konoha at night. He was beat to hell after the first day of training. The night air felt nice on his back as he continued walking to Sayuri's home. He saw her house off in the distance and noticed the kitchen light was still on. 'she must still be waiting for me' Neji thought 'I really shouldn't have kept her waiting like this she's probably worried sick if she's still up'.

Neji jogged the remainder of the way and knocked on the door. The door slowly began to open and Neji opened his mouth to apologize for being so late only to shut up and notice Tenten in the doorway. "What the hell are you doing here?" Neji asked

"Nice to see you too" Tenten replied "I was just having a friendly conversation with Sayuri"

"Fine whatever" Neji said coldly "I guess she doesn't need my company then" Neji turned to walk out and felt someone squeezing his arm. He turned to see Tenten looking slightly pissed. "What?"

"Can I talk to you alone for a moment?" Tenten asked darkly. Then she turned to Sayuri and smiled sweetly. "We'll be back in a sec". Sayuri just nodded confused. Tenten led Neji outside and as soon as the door shut Tenten walloped him hard over the head.

"What was that for?!" Neji practically screamed "Are you tryin' to kill me!?"

"I swear you can be so stupid sometimes" Tenten sighed

"What are you talking about?" Neji asked dumbfounded

"That girl has it in for you!" Tenten shouted

"She what? What are you trying to say?"

"She is head over heels in love with you!" Tenten shouted "I hate it when guys need it spelled out for them"

Neji stiffened "What difference does it make" Neji said coldly

"What difference does it make? What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Jeez you're the last person I want to talk to anyways"

"Why because my heart chose someone besides you Neji!" Tenten exclaimed "That's just bullshit!"

"You know what why don't you go home to your boyfriend and get the hell out of my face you stupid bitch!" Neji said even colder than usual

"Fine I'll leave if you answer my question. Why don't you care about Sayuri?"

"When did I ever say that I didn't care about her? What are you trying to say?"

"Isn't that what you just said?" Tenten asked confused

"It doesn't matter. I never said I didn't care"

"I am confused now do you love her or not?"

Neji stared at her face darkly with his Byakugan "That's just what I mean it doesn't matter if I love her or vice versa we could never be together"

"You're not making any sense!" Tenten shouted

"Its destiny that I could never be with her"

"Jeez what's with this destiny bull? Don't you realize that you create your own destiny! You control it don't let it control you!" Tenten shouted and turned to leave. "I feel sorry if you think like that Neji" Tenten said without turning and continued walking.

Neji shook it off and walked inside the house. Sayuri was still sitting at the table smiling. "Hello Neji" Sayuri said quietly "Where's Tenten?"

"She went home said she had things to do" Neji replied

"That's strange she said she was free tonight" Sayuri pondered out loud

"No big deal I suppose" Neji said "She probably just forgot about something"

Sayuri snapped her head "Yeah I suppose your right" Sayuri replied "So did you have dinner?" Neji shook his head. "Alright I have some leftover Shark fin soup from earlier tonight I'll just zap it in the microwave"

"Thanks a lot Sayuri" Neji said. Sayuri merely walked over to the pot on the stove and place it in a small bowl. "So where's the kid?"

"Oh Gakamaru? He is sleeping right now" Sayuri replied as she put the bowl in the microwave and punched some numbers. "'Sides he had a long day today"

"Oh" Neji said raising an eyebrow "What happened today?"

"End of the year examinations at the academy" Sayuri responded "Next year if all goes well he should become a Genin"

"What about you why aren't you a ninja?" Neji asked

"Someone has to provide for this family" Sayuri responded "And Gakamaru is too young to do it. Not to mention that ninja wages don't pay very well."

"So what do you do?" Neji asked

"I am a cook at a local restaurant" Sayuri said quietly

"Yeah I'll have to stop by sometime, what's the name of it?" Neji asked

"Your soups ready"

"That's a strange name for a place to eat" Neji said confused

"No I mean your soup is ready" Sayuri said blushing and standing up. "I'll go get it"

"Arigato" Neji said quietly

"Neji…" Sayuri began fumbling over her own words "W-what d-d-do y-y-you th-think ab-bout the t-t-tournament"

"Huh oh that. I think I'll do just fine" Neji said taking a sip from his soup "Hey this is pretty good"

"Arigato" Sayuri said blushing

Sayuri" Neji began taking her hand in his. Sayuri tensed but didn't pull away "Could you do me a favor?"

"Of course Neji" Sayuri replied

"Could you please relax?" Neji said "Your so wound up it makes me nervous just being around you"

"I'm sorry" Sayuri mumbled looking down at her feet

"Don't apologize ether" Neji said standing up and placing his hands on her shoulders "Sayuri you are a very pretty girl but your way too uptight. A girl your age shouldn't have so much stress"

"Neji…I uhhhh well…that is…oh the hell with it" Sayuri muttered. Sayuri leaned into Neji and placed her lips upon his. Neji's entire body stiffened. 'Damn it he isn't doing anything' Sayuri thought 'he must not feel the same way'. Sayuri was about to withdraw when Neji placed a hand on the back of Sayuri's head and pulled her deeper into the kiss returning the same amount of passion. Sayuri was getting weak at the knees and they began to buckle. Neji removed his hand and Sayuri slowly pulled away from Neji. "Well that was…nice" Sayuri said

"Yeah" Neji mused wrapping his arms around her waist and holding her tight. Sayuri rested her head on his chest and Neji began to stroke her hair "Sayuri I love you" Neji whispered into her ear. Sayuri looked up into his eyes with a tear-stained face "What did I say? I'm sorry what have I done to make you cry?"

"These are tears of happiness I love you too Hyuga Neji!" Sayuri yelled and buried her face in his shoulder hugging him tightly.

Four weeks later (Fast Forward No Jutsu!)

Naruto was still at Hinata's bedside. His hair was all messed up and shaggy plus his cloths were old and dirty. Huge bags rested under Naruto's eyes from staying up almost every night. Naruto was still sitting next to her bedside squeezing her hand tightly.

"Naruto" A voice said and Naruto turned to see Tsunade standing in the doorway. "You need to eat something. You haven't eaten anything in the past four weeks. You only have two more days until the final test"

"Look Tsunade if Hinata isn't awake by then, I will have no choice but to forfeit I refuse to leave her in this state" Naruto said not looking away from the still unconscious Hinata

Tsunade walked up to Naruto and elbowed him on the head hard. "I think the lack of food has gone to your head" Tsunade said

"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked

"When has Uzumaki Naruto ever given up on anything?" Tsunade asked "It's just not in your nature"

"Some things are more important than proving you're the best" Naruto said "And right now I am choosing one of those things"

"DO you think that Hinata would want you acting like this?"

"Probably not but I don't know for sure because I can't ask her" Naruto retorted

"Why do you have to be so stubborn?" Tsunade asked

"I don't have to be. I chose to be because I am in a pissed off mood." Naruto said sulking "If I ever see Kabuto again I'll rip his arms off and beat him to death with them"

"I think you need to get some food so as your Hokage I order you to get something to eat or I shall not allow you to stay here any longer!"

"Tsunade that's not fair!" Naruto said

"Naruto are you gonna get mad at me cause I am forcing you to eat Ramen?!"

Meanwhile

Kakashi was leaning back on his bed thinking about a lot of things. But mostly thinking about Kurenai. He didn't understand why she left all those years ago. She just got up and left. She didn't tell anyone where she went or what she was doing. Kakashi requested to search for her but Tsunade denied it. Kakashi heard a knock at his door and he went to answer it. "Hello what ca I-KURENAI!"

There she was after seven years standing in the doorway. Still as beautiful as ever. Kakashi was speechless. "Hello Kakashi it's been a while" Kurenai said softly

"Kurenai…wh-where have you been? Why did you come back? God I missed you so much" Kakashi sputtered out

"I missed you too Kakashi but I came back because there's someone you should meet" Kurenai said

"Who?" Kakashi asked "What are you talking about"

Kurenai stepped aside showing a little girl with long silver hair and brown eyes. "Hello my name is Hatake Miyuki"

"WHAT! Is this some kind of joke?" Kakashi asked

"No Kakashi say hello to your daughter" Kurenai said
