Its Saturday afternoon. Sakura and Lee must be somewhere together now. Neji as usual went at Hyugas manor to train with in his uncle entrainer and to report that Hinata was well and practised the defensive techniques of the Hyuga women... with brilliance. With a wonderful mastering even. These techniques are made for her.
Neji has the head elsewhere while he fights against his uncle, and bites
dust before long.
Hiashi: " Neji, are you sleeping today?"
The Hyuga grandmother while passing in the garden evaluates the problem
with single glance: "Theres a girl who disturb him. It remeber me a certain
person , at about the same age."
Hiashi throws a side glance to her: "mother..."
the grandmother continues: "you didnt like to spend the afternoon
to train here whereas you want to go out with your girlfriend. Its not
true, Hiashi?"
Hiashi has a small laughter: "Its true, I remember it very well. You
retained me here so much that she leave me finally..."
The grandmother: "But you found nevertheless a charming wife thereafter."
Hiashi: "Yes... dontt force yourself to come here if you have other
thing to do, Neji."
The conversation add more confusion to Nejis chaotic thoughts.
He apologize to his uncle and goes out; making Hanabi angry. She would
have liked to practise with him this afternoon.
Let me quiet, at the end. In any case, she goes out with Lee.
Well, in theory...
whereas why is she all alone on this bench of the Ueno street, beautiful
with a dark green dress and seeming pensive?
No sign of Lee in the neighbourhoods, Neji approachs her. Did
something occur? When she see Neji, Sakura raises the head and beckons
him to come to sit down. Now beside her, Neji feels even more stupid.
Neji: "ah... hum... and Lee?"
Sakura: "We went to see a film together, but... It dont stick between
us. I said him, and I apologized. I believe that he understood."
Neji: "Ah."
Sakura turns to Neji who notes what beautiful green eyes she has. In
fact theyre all the time like that, but today, he looks at them differently.
sakura: "Now that the situation is clear with Lee... Neji. Could we
try... together?"
They smil, turned one towards the other.
these last months, how much time did they sat on this bench, their basket to the hand, speaking sometimes until the stores close? How much time did Sakura come to say hello in the small apartment? They hadnt even noticed all the time that they had passed together, so much it slipped quickly. Now, they can be aware of the happiness they have to be one together.
In this calm end of afternoon, the heart is light, they spoke without
reserve and in confidence. Too much in confidence...
Sakura: " Hinatas baby is for soon, We must take care that she dont
stay alone too long."
The spy sent by Hiashi to search about Nejis girlfriend identity immediately
transmits this information to the clan chief. Whereas Neji and Sakura discuss
still quietly, Hiashi runs towards the Hinatas apartment . He had ended
up guessing the localization, but respecting the instruction of Hokage,
had never approached it, nor looked at what happen there. What could do
her older daughter over there isnt important, in fact. But now...
Suddenly, Neji sees: "My Uncle... is on the way towards the apartment!"
