Title: My Prince Charming

Summery: Neji and Sakura have been going out in secret for a while now. And everything was going great until Tenten's heart got broken when she found out she was in love with Neji himself. Just as things were starting to look her way when Neji and Sakura have "broken up", things totally went back downhill when Neji still claims he loves Sakura! What a girl to do?

A/N: Wow… fourth chapter down! Can you believe it! Because I can't… LoL. I really didn't think I'd be this fast at updating either. What I expected was for me to update like, every month or so. x9 HAHA.

Well, let's see-- my story is very… drama-ish… right now. I don't really like all this seriousness, but I guess it's too late to change it now. Well, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter :D

Chapter Four

Sakura's POV


With eyes and cheeks still puffy and tearstains trailing down my face, I have yet to move a muscle since what has happened. I continued to numbly sit where I was, drowning in my own thoughts as Time continued His never-ending journey through life.

Bits and pieces of our first --and most likely, only-- argument flashed before my eyes at times least expected.

His bitter confrontation, my shock and surprise, his anger and hurt, my tears and confession; all those memories-- they kept replaying over and over in my head, like an old black and white film that refused to stop playing its content.

How...? How is it that I became so selfish, thinking that I could possibly fall in love with someone… when I already gave my heart to someone else? How could I do this to Neji? He deserves so much more than this.

'What the hell are you talking about! It's Neji's own fault for being too naïve and trusting! I mean, HELLO! He should've known that you have and will ALWAYS love Sasuke! DAMN STRAIGHT!'

Despite what I and my "other-self" were thinking, I felt as if I wasn't prepared enough to know that such misery, regret, and guilt existed all at once in the world-- because the life that I lived, was always full of lively colors and forever drama-free, with the exception of dangerous and life-threatening missions every now and then.

…But… that's not my life anymore. My life… my life is now a living Hell. Literally.

I have broken someone's heart, just like someone else has broken mine. I knew the pain of being rejected; of not being loved; yet I still made the hypocritical move of rejecting someone who has opened his whole heart and soul for me to explore.

I wish I could go back in time and fix every mistake that I have done.

I'm so sorry, Neji. I cared for you, I really did. It's just… my feelings for you were not "romantic".

Nevertheless, I should've never confessed that I liked you, even though I knew it was a flat-out lie. I should've never replied, yes, when you asked me out, when I really longed for someone else. I should've never shared my first kiss with you on that star-filled night, when my mind was really picturing him, the one person who I wanted to kiss the most... and that person was-- and still is…

"…Sasuke…" I quietly whispered to no one in particular.

"What?"

Alarmed by the out-of-nowhere response, I unwittingly turned my head and upper torso as I saw, standing right before me, my very own, Prince Charming.


A/N: AHH! I'm sowwie! I know, I know… REALLY, REALLY SHORT CHAPTER! T.T I'll update soon, I promise. And it'll be a long one! …Or, at least… longer than this chapter. LoL.

Btw, for all those who guessed that mystery person was Ino, who was silently eavesdropping on Hinata's and Tenten's conversation, then… DING DING DING! WE HAVE SOME WINNERS ON THE INTERNET! --balloons popping and those thingy-ma-jiggers flying through the air-- LoL. Yup, the person was Ino.

And just to make things clear, the person who Sakura was –ehem-- spying on, was indeed, Uchiha Sasuke. Just thought I'd say that, just in case some readers got confused with that. xD

Okie… I know I've been focusing my story mostly on Neji and Sakura lately, but I give you my oath that there will be more Neji and Tenten on the way! They just need to overcome some obstacles right now. After all, no long-lasting relationships were always perfect and drama-free! At least… I don't think so. LoL. x3

HAHA. I know… long Author's Note, but I still got more to say. xD I can't help it… -.-"

Okie… so I've been getting some reviews that are saying that Neji doesn't even deserve Tenten right now. LoL. So I was thinking… should this story be a NejTen at all? O.o LoL. Personally, I think it should, 'cuz you know… I just love that couple. LoL. But yeah. The real question that I'm hopin' you guys would answer though, is, should Sakura have a happy ending with Sasuke, or should she be single? xD Plz tell me… I'd like to know your opinions! WOOHOO!

Okay… well, I'm done with my babble. Alright, c'yall next chapter! (Geez... who woulda thought that my Author's Note would be close to longer than the story itself? I'm so sowwie you guys...)
