Important Author's notes: Well, one reveiwer asked for me to put Gaara into the picture, and I was considering it. Do you guys want Sakura to have a crush on Gaara, which makes it a lot harder for Sasuke and Neji, or do you want Gaara to have a crush on her, or don't you like Gaara in the picture? I think it's really cute for Gaara to be in the triangle. What do you think? Please tell me!

"I'm so-sorry about my cousin...Sa-Sakura..." said Hinata as she nursed Sakura's sprained ankle.

Sakura smiled at Hinata brightly.

"Don't worry Hinata! Your cousin is a mystery..." she said as Hinata wrapped her ankle with a bandage.

Hinata smiled back at her then went out of the room.

"Sa-sakura...Stay in our house for a while...I-it might take a few hours fo-for your ankle to heal." She said and left, closing the door.

Sakura looked around the room. It was an incredibly large one, full of pictures of the Hyuuga Family.

She took interest in one picture that has Neji, Hinata, and another younger girl with white eyes. Sakura slowly took the picture and stared at it. Hinata was blushing with a small smile, the younger girl was smiling too, but Neji was a little farther apart from the two, and he had a blank expression on his face.

Wonder if he ever reacts...

"Looking at family pictures?" asked a cold voice from the door. Sakura looked up and saw Neji, with the same blank expression as usual.

Sakura placed the picture frame back at the bedside table and smiled at Neji.

"Hey there, Neji! You know, it was really sweet of you to leave me in the forest..." said Sakura as she clapped her hands jovially.

"It was not in my schedule to take care of an annoying girl being chased by rabid magazine readers." said Neji coolly as he entered the room and sat down on a chair.

Sakura stared at him.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in your room?" asked Sakura.

"This is my room..." said Neji flatly. Sakura stared at him.

"Oh! Sorry to be a bother, I'll tell Hinata-chan that I'll be leaving now." said Sakura as she stood up from the bed. She began limping towards the door when a voice spoke.

"Do as you please, but if that ankle is not fixed in any time, you have seen the worst of life." said Neji. Sakura stopped quickly, making her fall.

"Ouch! What do you mean? That was a joke right?" asked Sakura as she tilted her head towards Neji.

"Hyuuga Neji never makes jokes." He answered shortly.

"Right..." said Sakura as she got hold of the edge of the bed and pulled herself up. She sat herself on the bed and looked at her ankle.

Neji stood up from the chair and went to his window as Sakura watched him.

He just stared blankly outside with the same blank expression.

Sakura peered slowly out of the window from afar and saw a girl with brown dumpling hair.

"That's Ten-ten, right?" asked Sakura as she recognized the girl.

"Hn..." said Neji. Sakura took that as a yes.

"Well, she's a really pretty girl. Do you like her?" asked Sakura suddenly, that even Neji was surprised.

Neji stared at Sakura with very little expression on his face.

"What?" he spat out.

"Do you like Ten-ten?" asked Sakura as she rolled her eyes. Neji glared at her which made Sakura smile.

"You have the nerve to talk to me like that. And no, I do not like her." said Neji calmly. Sakura chuckled.

"I was just asking you know. It's not really a problem if you like her." Insisted Sakura as she smiled slyly.

"Enough. I do not like her." said Neji, as he took a seat by the window, still facing Sakura.

Sakura pouted childishly and then twirled a strand of hair with her finger. Neji was a little amused with her childishness.

"You know, I really love life without those bodyguards and those parents. It's such an ordinary life." said Sakura in a contented voice as she slumped down the bed. This caught Neji's attention.

Sakura noticed his change of attitude and then sat up straight again. She looked at Neji in a questioning manner.

"You know about me?" she asked.

"Ino told us an hour before the lunch at Ichiraku." He said flatly.

"Well, I guess she wanted help with all those bodyguards. That's probably why Sasuke saved me. You did also." Said Sakura thoughtfully.

Neji just stared back out the window. Sakura unconsciously slumped down the bed again and drifted slowly to sleep. The last thing she knew were covers being pulled over her.

THE NEXT DAY

Sakura woke up and glanced around her surroundings. This wasn't her room. She yawned and got up from the bed. She saw pictures, paintings, Neji sleeping on the floor,-

What? Neji sleeping on the floor? Oh, I remember now. My ankle.

Sakura looked at her ankle and noticed that it was absolutely pain-free.

She stood up silently and then shook Neji awake.

"Neji-kuun! Wake up!" exclaimed Sakura. Neji wouldn't budge. Sakura shook him harder, this time slapping his cheek occasionally.

"Neji, Neji, wake up please!" said Sakura as she shook him. Neji just stirred and faced the other side, his back to Sakura.

Sakura groaned. She stood up and went to the bathroom. She got a glass of water and then went over to Neji again.

"Neji, I'm really really sorry about this..." she said then she poured water over Neji's face, which caused Neji to wake up with a start.

"Argh! What's your problem, woman?" asked Neji as he glared at Sakura, who was smiling cutely.

"Nothing, just wanted to thank you for letting me sleep in your bed." She said then she bent and kissed Neji on the cheek. She then smiled and left the room.

Neji was left, with a small blush on his cheeks.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sakura got out of the Hyuuga Mansion, and was now walking happily towards the park. Her ankle is pain-free, she kissed a very cute boy, and life was good.

She peered at the park slowly and noticed that it was not crowded at all. It was only composed of Ino and her friends, which means there would be no magazine readers chasing her.

She skipped towards Ino and her friends and smiled at them.

"Sakura! Where were you last night?" asked Ino as she poked Shikamaru who looked really annoyed.

"Um, I just went over to Hinata's for a little tea, and I ended up sleeping there." Said Sakura simply as she sat under a tree and began braiding her hair.

Shikamaru was really annoyed by now and he ran off, leaving Ino.

"Hey Shika-kun! Come back here, I need to poke you!" exclaimed Ino and she ran after him, leaving Sakura alone. Sakura laughed at the two of them.

They'd make a really great couple...But what about Sasuke?

Speak of the devil, Sakura looked up the tree, only to see Sasuke on it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"What are you doing there?" she asked. Sasuke did not look at her but managed a small 'Hn'.

"You and Neji are almost the same. You don't talk much, you're both cold, and you always say 'Hn' or whatever." said Sakura dejectedly. She stood up and dusted herself a little.

Suddenly, she heard Sasuke reply monotonously.

"I'm better than Hyuuga in a lot of ways." said Sasuke shortly, still with his eyes closed. Sakura smiled and looked up at him.

She slowly climbed the tree and sat beside Sasuke. Sasuke was shocked at this, but he calmed down a little after a while. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes, leaning on the trunk of the tree.

"I'm sure that what you can do, Neji can do better." Said Sakura as she tilted her head towards Sasuke. Sasuke opened his eyes, annoyed.

"You're wrong. Stop it with the Neji and Me comparing thing. You're annoying." said Sasuke flatly. He closed his eyes again. Sakura smiled again and then twirled a strand of hair before turning to Sasuke again.

"One last question, do you like girls?" asked Sakura, and like Neji, Sasuke was taken aback by that question. He opened his eyes again and glared at Sakura.

"No. I find all of them annoying." said Sasuke monotonously. Sakura pouted, which Sasuke was a little amused of.

"Even me?" asked Sakura, pouting. Sasuke sighed a little.

"No, you're just a little annoying." He said and then closed his eyes again. Sakura smiled cutely and clapped her hands childishly.

"One last question, are you gay?" asked Sakura so suddenly, Sasuke almost fell out of the tree.

"What? You think I'm gay?" he asked angrily.

"Well, you don't like any girl, which means you like boys. You say girls are annoying, because they're competition for boys. I mean, even Neji likes a girl." she said, doing some hand gestures.

Sasuke just shook his head in reply and then closed his eyes again.

"Okay, so you're not gay. One last-

"No! You always say one last question. No more questions and period." He said flatly.

Sakura laughed and then turned to look at Sasuke.

"I'm still wondering, why did you do that to Ino?" she asked.

"Because she attempted to kiss me on the lips..." he said flatly, still not opening his eyes.

"Still it's not right...I want you to promise, to never do that again to Ino." She said.

Sasuke did not reply but he opened his eyes.

Sakura pouted.

"Please? For me?" she said, staring at Sasuke with puppy eyes. Sasuke sighed and muttered a small 'Ok'.

Sakura smiled then jumped off the tree.

"Remember Sasuke, you're promise." She said then left Sasuke, only thinking one thought.

Did she just get me to promise something? That's a first.
