CHAPTER 8: SAKURA'S PLAN..
It's been a week since Hyuuga Neji and Hyuuga Hinata's engagement was announced. All of the people in Konoha knew and looking forward to the occasion. Everybody was talking about the marriage especially children. Boys dreams to be like Neji while girls adores Hinata. To many, they are 'The Perfect Couple' but to some, they're just not. One of those person was Ten Ten. She had liked Neji since they were under Gai-sensei. Neji never treated her more than a teammate, or less but she found it hard not to not like him. Neji on the other hand never showed any feelings towards her. That was disappointing but Ten Ten is not a girl who would give up easily. Not until she heard about the engagement. " Three weeks from now,…." She whispered sadly.
Hinata and Neji continued their job as usual since the wedding will be prepared by the elders. Only sometimes they have to attend some discussion and trying wedding clothes. But apart from that, they rarely sees each other. Sometimes they may passed by at the hospital and they would greet each other and continue with their work. Tsunade, Shizune and Sakura noticed that. " They're fiancée for God sake. They should do something… I don't know… romantic," Sakura grumbled in front of Tsunade and Shizune. " I think so too but you know Hinata and you know Neji. 'Romantic' won't just happen," Shizune said and Tsunade nodded. " If it won't happen naturally, lets make it happen…," Sakura said with a mischievous glint in her eyes. Shizune and Tsunade exchanged a confused glance but then smiled.
Hinata just finished her job and was preparing to go home. Sakura who was waiting for her came to Hinata's place. " Hinata-chan, let's go out and eat dinner together," Sakura invited cheerfully. " Eh," Hinata was surprised to hear Sakura said that. They were closed but only during work hour. She never went out to eat or hang around with Sakura. Sakura noticed Hinata's surprised face, " I know we never get the chance to hand out together so I would us to start today. So, you're free tonight?." Hinata nodded slowly. Sakuara smiled and left her place. " Tonight, Oishi Restaurant at 8 ok? I'll wait fir you there!."
Sakura left the hospital and headed towards her home. While she was walking, she saw Lee. She gave him a big smile and asked, " Everything's ok?." Lee smiled and gave her a thumb up. Sakura nodded approvingly. They walked together towards Sakura's house. Sakura and Lee were friends but somehow when Lee was by her side when Ssauke left, she decided that it was time to open her heart to him. So she did and it wasn't so bad. They managed to live happily as a couple although sometimes Lee suffered injuries when Sakura wasn't in a good mood for his joke. " He made me laugh no matter how unhappy I am. That's what I like about him. That's why I stay with him…," Sakura told Shizune when she asked why she stayed with Lee although Sasuke came back to the village. ' Sasuke was my puppy love and his my friend now. Lee is my forever love…," Sakura continued. Shizune gave her an encouraging smile and pat her head.
