Chapter 6: Two Hyugas, Uchiwa, Haruno. Dissonance.

Hinata wants strawberries. Now .
Whereas he went to market yesterday and that he bought full of other fruits, today she wants strawberries. Absolutely.
Neji sighs and leaves the apartment. Let’s buy her strawberries, even without Sakura, he should success.
On the way towards the usual fruit shop, Neji locates further a pink hair in the crowd. ah, Sakura is here too? Just beside her, Sasuke, who just came back of a rather long mission with Naruto. They move towards another district. Neji greets them when he crosses them. Sasuke answers by a short sign of head, he’s as friendly as always... Sakura makes a small nervous smile..., then they carry on their road.
By crossing her glance, Neji felt... like a dumb call for help. He doesn’t understand. While both move away, Neji put his Byakugan on Sakura’s face. She don’t seem at ease.

Forgotten about strawberries, Neji decides to follow them and to observe them with attention. Sasuke goes in front, Sakura is a little after him, but she follows him. Why does she seem so anxious? She shakes a little. They arrive in the bottom of a building, it’s here that Sasuke lives.
But at the time to pass the door, Sakura has a movement of sudden retreat. Sasuke turn over and catches her by the wrist. She try to free herself, but blocking her other wrist, he pushes her the back against the wall. He speaks to her with low voice, incisive and aggressive, his face very close to hers. Now the face of Sakura is almost begging, she seems without force, not able to get free.

Neji doesn’t understand what happen, but it don’t seem good. He must interfere ;. Jumping of the roof, he lands not far and calls: "Sakura!"

Sasuke turn over with a furious face and releases the girl. Neji advances towards them quickly:
Neji: "Sakura! Hinata feel not well! You must come to see her!"
Sakura: "Hinata? I come."

As Sasuke want to prevent her for leaving, she shouts: "It’s a medical urgency!"
Neji and Sakura leave immediatly, and Sasuke don’t seem to follow them. The young medical specialist ask from Neji more precision about Hinata’s state while running.
Neji: "She’s well, it was a lie. It’s you who don’t seem well."
The surprise would have make her stop if Neji hadn’t pushed her to advance.
neji: "We go to the house nevertheless."

Hinata is very surprised to see Neji returning with Sakura and no strawberries cutters, then she rises very anxious.
Hinata: "What happened, Sakura? You don’t seem well! Sit down, I bring a cup of tea to you "
Sakura sit down on the settee. When Hinata returns with a hot cup, she breaks in tear.
Hinata: "Sakura, what happened?"

But she doesn’t answer, she seems to close herself, she tries to plaster her tears.
Neji insists: "It’s because of Sasuke?"
Two pairs of white eyes read the answer on her face without she needs to open her mouth. Yes, it’s Sasuke’s fault, and She’s too shameful to speak about it. It’s not an argument... it’s more serious.
Hinata: "What did he do to you, Sakura?"

She tries to hide her face in her hands to escape the pitiless examination from these large white eyes. Neji suddenly remembers the strange conversation that he had had with her, at this same place...
He asks the question without prccaution, scandalizing Hinata who tries to operate more delicately.
Neji: "He... raped you?"
Sakura: "no! No!"

But all her body shouts "yes" thanks to Hyuga’s eyes. Hinata sit next to Sakura and take her gently in her arms. They have understood, Sakura feels it, but she tries to minimize: "It’s not that... I... I had promised to him that... I will help him, always. and he needs to his clan. then ... he asked me..."

But Neji has already better understood the situation: "He didn’t ask anything. He drag you at his home as he did a few moments ago? When you understood what he wanted, you wanted to flee. He then remember you this old teenager promise . And you felt guilty to give up him. Then you let it do... "
Sakura: "SHUT UP! SHUT up! I don’t want to speak about it!"
Neji: "You want that he continues then!"
Hinata: "Neji! Don’t be so hard!"

Neji leaves in his room with anger. Stupid girls! But he can nevertheless hear very well what they do in the living room. Hinata succeeded thanks to patience to calm Sakura. Little by little, Sakura entrusts to Hinata, who lets her speak at her rhythm, without stopping fer, nor pressing her. It’s very awkward. Especially for the man who listens them.
When, to calm Sakura’s scruples about the Uchiwa clan, Hinata reveals to her who is the father of her child, Neji leaps and opens the door brutally.
Neji: "Hinata! Why do you say her that!"
Hinata: "Ah? you listened?"
Neji: "The appartement isn’t sound-proof. Hinata..."
Hinata: "I trust Sakura, she won’t say anything."

Neji isn’t sure. He turns toward the pink haired girl and asks her: "You’ll keep the secrecy? Even if he’s the sworn enemy of Sasuke? "
Sakura: "I promises to you. You can trust me."
Now calmed, she rises and want to leave: "Neji, thank you very much, but I don’t want to disturb you more... "
But Neji doesn’t wnat to let her leave, especially since he saw Sasuke not far from Sakura’s appartement.
Neji "If you could stay this evening here, that would fit me. I lend you my room, I must left one moment."
Sakura: "But I..."
Neji: "I don’t want to leave Hinata alone after so many emotions, but I have strawberries to find. And most of the stores are closed now."
Sakura has initially a small laughter: "straw...strawberries?" and when Neji leaves, she’s full laughing .
