Okay I came up with this because I'm bored. It's very short and was inspired by a song my sister has stuck in my head, I forget the name. I thought it was kind of cute and hopefully you will too. I have serious writer's block for my other stories. T.T This is a NejiSaku pairing so if you don't like the pairing I advise you not to read, it's common sense. Anyways, please read, review and please enjoy.

Three Years and a Sakura Tree
He sighed, this was what, the twentieth time he had walked past the same spot.
'Why the hell do I care so much anyways? It's not like I'm going to find anything or…see her.'
White-eyes stared intensely at the offending Sakura tree where he was standing.
Flashback
"OI NEJI! Did you hear the news? Sasuke-teme just proposed to Sakura-chan!" an overly excited blonde haired dobe shouted waving frantically for the Hyuga to join himself and his girlfriend.
End Flashback"It shouldn't have shocked me but…" Neji punched the tree and let his head hang. "It was three years ago, three years. She's not going to wait for someone like me."
"Who's not going to wait for someone like you Neji-san?" came a soft voice making the Byakugan user jump. He was too caught up in his thoughts and he silently cursed himself when he realized whom it was.
"No one Haruno." his voice was sharp and it hurt him to talk like that, but it was the image he had made.
"Really? You didn't even notice me and well…what are you doing out here so late?" Sakura was standing next to Neji. 'He won't even look at me.'
"I should be asking you the same question Haruno." was the reply she got, and as always it made her smile.
'I can always count on him to be consistent.' she then frowned as she caught what he whispered.
"Congratulations on your engagement."
Sakura's heart stopped; he was congratulating her. He actually thought that she still had feelings for Sasuke.
"Actually, Neji-san…the truth is…I never accepted." Sakura was looking down and missed the shocked look on Neji's face as his head shot up.
"Why?" he was surprised he had asked but he found his voice wasn't cold and that he couldn't hide the hope that was appearing from that one sentence.
"I can't love him and he doesn't love me. He just wants someone to rebuild his clan and I don't want to be used for that…" Sakura trailed off.
"Sakura." her head shot up, not once had he called her Sakura before. "Would you like to go out for lunch tomorrow? I'll call you if you want to."
"Of course Neji." Sakura smiled and didn't feel insulted at all that he just left without a second glance. Instead she felt happy, she was going to see him tomorrow.
'Maybe coming here tonight was fate, it is after all where we got to know each other three years ago.'
As Sakura disappeared the Sakura blossoms started to dance on the wind that rushed through the branches.
