Author's note: To you guys who reviewed, thank you! I got some ideas from reading the reviews so I owe this chap to you! Ok, so I got really pissed off at Sasuke because in the fic I read, Sasuke was worst than an ass. I usually love him but at this point I think I'll let Neji wipe the floor with him. Lol, anyway… enjoy!
Sasuke signaled to Kabuto and jumped to the nearest tree. Kabuto nodded and signaled the ninja's with them to move out.
Like wild fire they spread slowly and efficiently. Without a sound they slashed the throats of the guards at the gates. Making their way into the heart of Konoha.
Meanwhile….. "When are they going to stop? It's been like…" Ino looked at here watch and cringed. "It's been almost 15 minutes and all they do is stare, kiss, stare. They act like they've never kissed anyone before.
Hinata blushed, "A- actually Ino. Neji and Sakura have never…. kissed anyone before."
Ino's eye browed rose up. "Really? Ok, Sakura… I guess I can understand… she's been gaga over Sasuke and vowed to kiss no one else. But Neji? Are you sure?" She watched Hinata nod. She pursed her lips. "Wow.. I would have never thought… I mean he's hot as Sasuke was, maybe hotter." She blushed as Hinata gave her a sharp look. "WHAT! YES! I'VE NOTICED, BUT IT'S TRUE! HE IS HOT!" She blushed harder when everyone turned to stare at her. Hinata giggled and even Neji and Sakura glanced at her before turning back into what they were doing. "Well he IS cute, how could I NOT have noticed? Anyways, I thought he's had at least one kis but.. oh yea.. the old traditions.. only kiss the girl you intend to marry.. Neji stuck with that huh?" Ino sighed, "Wow…. But Neji seems so experienced I mean look at him…. At them! One would have though they'd at least some experience in kissing!"
Hinata giggled. To Ino the whole engagement was confusing but to Hinata it was normal and welcoming. She wanted to see both her cousin and Sakura happy, and they if they could make each other happy then she'd support them fully.
Sakura pulled back panting. It was like she was in a trance where there was no one but Neji. Nothing but him and his beautiful eyes.
To Neji it was all just a dream. A dream of him and a beautiful cherry blossom. He felt as if the cage he had been in was open ,finally.
The horn of Konoha blew snapping everyone's attention. If the horn was blowing than it could only mean one thing, they were under attack.
Every ninja in Konoha looked up and sprung. Many going to the gate as others went to the heart of Konoha where the hokage was. Neji, Naruto, Shikamaru and Kakashi went to where the Hokage was. Hinata and Chouji went to the shelters where the people we're going. Sakura and the others headed to the gate.
At top speed Sakura and the others got to their destinations and literally fell whent hey realized who they were getting get attacked by. Sound. Almost everyone immediately thought of Sakura and Naruto; majority thinking of Sakura and wondering if they'd see Sasuke.
Sasuke moved swiftly to a ninja he was facing. In a deadly like manner he moved at stealth, disappearing to appear behind the nin with a kunai, preparing to slice. A kunai nabbed him before he could, momentarily surprising him lone enough for the nin he was holding to escape. He cursed softly, thinking of the many ways he would kill both the nin that got away and the one the interrupted him.
Holding up his kunai he looked around, only to feel movement underneath. He jumped up just in time only to nearly fall when he landed.
There in a haze of dust and dirt stood the most pissed of Sakura he'd even seen. And not just any Sakura but a drop dead beautiful Sakura who's aura was promising him pain. Her emerald eyes glittered in their anger. He nearly missed it when she spoke in a melody like tone that was completely calm despite her appearance. "Why are you here?"
Sasuke decided to shrug since he couldn't seem to speak yet. Which abviously pissed off Sakura even more.
"I'll ask you again, why are you here, traitor."
If Sasuke had been just regaining his speech he again lost it. Sakura was speaking to him as if she hated him but that couldn't be true right? Last he remembered, she had still loved him.
Sakura appeared behind him with a kunai at his throat, "Answer me traitor."
Sasuke's eyes went wide. For some reason something in Sasuke twisted, he found himself liking the Sakura he was meeting. Where as before he though she was annoying and then just too sister like she was now… irrisistable to him. He licked his lips and shoved down the lust that went crawling up his throat. His only thought was "If she roughens me again with the tough act she'd got, I might just pounce." He turned to stare and felt himself drool inwardly, "Lord was she hot."
Sakura eyed him through narrowed eyes and then shoved him a bit. Causing a reaction from Sasuke that Sakura could never have predicted. He whipped around and dragged her to him. His lips at her ear and hands in her hair. "Sakura…."
Sakura stiffened, this wasn't the Sasuke she knew. He was completely different. She began to wonder out loud if he was drunk, high on something, or if Orochimaru had taken over his body.
She heard him chuckle softly sending more shivers down her spine. She felt calm and scared all at once. He sounded a lot like Orochimaru in the voice he was using. It was frightening. He was still gorgeous and strong but he had changed into someone she couldn't recognize. And what was with him being so close? Did he have to be so close in order to make a point!
Sasuke could sense her confusion, feel how soft and strong she had become. He licked his lips and went wide eyed when she wriggled, trying to get AWAY from him. She really had changed. It exited Sasuke sickly. He smirked into her ear as she shivered against him in fear and confusion. He loved it. He leaned in close deciding that it might be a good idea to keep her. He needed to have someone bear his heirs and restore his clan right? And he had never found someone who had exited him so much or exhibited so much strength and guts. She was perfect!
He grinned, it was decided, she would be his. He paused as he thought back to when she had first admitted him her love for him. She had belonged to him even then. She was still his.
Confident in this belief he leaned down to a bright red Sakura, who must've realized his intent, and kissed her right on the lips in a bruising kiss. He smothered her lips with his, claiming her, marking her.
He smirked against her lips as she made a slight noise that sounded like a yelp. He bit her lip causing her to struggle. He grinned, this was going to be fun.
Sakura's eyes swung around wildly as he smothered her with his lips and chakra making movement almost impossible. She cried out in her mind. This was NOT Sasuke! He had to be Orochimaru or something because the Sasuke she knew would not be kissing her what so ever and he sure as hell would not be as rough as Oorochimaru, much less act like him!
Why was he kissing her? Did he realize how much he was hurting her? Her heart throbbed, her lips …. Why did he bite them? That hurt! And why did he hold that sick look in his eyes. That sick carnal red look dusted with a dangerous lust.
She felt pain lance through her as his hands spanned her throat and tip her head back so he could kiss her harder. She panicked. Soon he would try to French kiss her or.. worse? No!
Mentally she called to her friends, mentally she called to Neji.
Meanwhile out by the Hokage's office, Neji's head lifted up as he could have sworn he heard Sakura calling him. He felt a weight in his heart as he looked to see his engagement necklace on the floor. He panicked. Was Sakura in trouble or.. worse?
His heart raced and his breath came in a rush. He ran to the gate where he knew she'd be at. Racing so fast he nearly past her. Then he skidded to a halt in shock. He had to use his evil eye to see if he was actually seeing what he was seeing.
Sasuke? Kissing.. Sakura? His Fiancee? For a minute he thought it was Orochimaru in Sasuke's body or something cause the Sasuke he remembered would have never even thought of kissing Sakura.
He heard Sasuke mutter, "Mine.." At that Neji glared. His evil eye flaring. Maybe Sasuke was starting to finally see the real Sakura and have feeling for her. Congrats but,…..Sakura was HIS, NEJI'S! NOT SASUKE'S! NEJI'S! He shouted before he realized what he was doing, "GET YOUR MOUTH OFF OF MY FIANCEE TRAITOR!"
Sasuke's head snapped up. A man with white eyes just ran up to him and told him to get off his what!
Sasuek's eyes narrowed then widened as he realized that the man was Neji, Hyuuga Neji.
His surprise turned to anger when he realized what Neji had called had told him. He looked around. Now way, .. he could not be talking about Sakura. He couldn't believe it. Sakura and Neji! Was that even possible? And would Neji's uncle even allow it?
He flashed his Sharingan. Just to be on the safe side he warned Neji, "She's mine Neji, she always has been."
Neji growled. What the hell was the Uchiha talking about? Maybe he WAS Orochimaru in Sasuke's body.
He shook his head. For some reason he felt really pissed about Sakura being called Sasuke's. He didn't like that. Probaly because he liked her better being called, Neji's. He nodded.
He paused, wait… did he just think that? Ne liked her better being called Neji's? Maybe HE was the one being taken over by Orochimaru. Really, what was he thinking! Sakura didn't belong to anyone… yet. He intended for her to belong to him, soon. Why? Because……….. he already belonged to her. How the hell did that happen, and so fast? Don't ask Neji. He was wondering the same thing.
For a moment he was temted to tell Sasuke to keep her. He didn't want or like the emotions she gave him, or the fact that he felt as if he belonged to her. He didn't like that one bit.
But Neji knew, if he told Sasuke to keep her it would take only three minutes (maybe less) before Neji went after Sasuke, killed him, and then took Sakura back. He was behind hope now, he had totally become weak when it came to her, and it scared him like nothing else could.
And he refused to run from that fear. Hyuuga Neji did not run from any fear. And Haruno Sakura WAS going to be his bride. Wether anybody like it or not!
"You snooze you lose Sasuke and I'm not sorry to say this but.. you snoozed for to long. She's mine now, and she's going to stay mine. She is tied to me and my family now." He smirked as he saw Sakura blush and Sasuke go red with anger.
Neji moved so quickly he was not even a blur. He snatched Sakura from Sasuke, pecked her a kiss on the cheek than lunged to Sasuke.
Sasuke saw complete red. Sakura was HIS. She was and would always be his! Neji had no right to even peck a kiss on what was HIS!
He lunged to. Creating a shockwave as their powerful hits collided. He flipped back only to jump in the air and throw a dozen kunais. He cursed as he saw Neji use the Heavenly spin to block them.
He soun, creating a powerful frontal attack. Shoving the his kunai with an intense force. Strong enough to force even Neji back and give a slight cut on his shoulder. He smirked, licking the blood off his kunai.
Neji cringed. Sasuke had definetly been trained personally by Orrochimaru. He was just as strong, fast and SICK as the legendary sannin of snake himself.
He bundled up his wrist preparing to launch the most powerful Gentle fist he knew. The 2 touch. As a family joke they'd call it the gentle plunge. Why? Because it litteraly plunged the opponent into the ground using a punch like Tsunade's but with more of a shoti'e style. The whole point was to use the least amount of movement with the most power.
He crouched slightly, waiting for the opportune moment. When it came Sasuke was about to kick Neji but Neji moved his head to dodge it and then sprung a strong Hyuuga punch directly into his navel. Blocking a whole lot of Chakra. Seizing the moment he flung himself over the Uchiha until he was directly above the Uchiha looking like he was going to do Lee's lotus attack but without holding anyone. He plunged to fingers into Sasuke's shoulder doing the 2 touck, nearly blasting off Sasuke's arm with the blow. Sending Sasuke into the ground directly. About 7 feet I into the ground to be exact.
Neji looked down and smirked, he started to walk back to a very pale Sakura when he felt lethat chakra behind him. He cursed. How could he forget? Sasuke's cursed seal! Mentally he slapped his forehead.
Bringing himself into stance he glared at the emerging Sasuke. He came from the earth like a vampire rising in a horror flick. He winced knowing it probably freacked Sakura out. He wished he could go comfort her for some reason but he couldn't. Moving might cost them their lives.
To Sasuke and Neji's surprise Sakura pulled a stunt that was truly out of the blue. She placed herself between Sasuke and Neji with arms layed out. She glared at both of them and she punched the air before her sending a wave of power that shoved Sasuke to the ground.
"You are BOTH stupid! I don't belong to anyone! And for crying out loud Sasuke you never wanted me before! You have no idea of the pain you caused me! And Neji, don't even act like you care cause I know you don't! Your just obeying a will!" Before either man could defend themselves she broke out shouting, "AND WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE BOTH OF YOU! NEJI PECKING MY CHEEK? SASUKE KISSING ME? ARE YOU BOTH ON CRACK! AND I SWEAR IF EITHER YOU START FIGHTING WITH THAT MACHO CRAP I'LL HURT BOTH OF YOU!"
She heaved out a breath and stated calmly. "Sasuke… I couldn't… can't wait forever…. You lost me as I lost you.. I'm sorry… but Neji's right. I'm engaged to him."
Sasuke shivered in anger and glared at the Hyuuga giving him the "I told you so" looks. No, this could not be! Sakura was HIS! He gathered his chakra up. If he could kill Neji than Sakura would be open, free, and single. He prepared to attack just as Neji shoved a bristling Sakura behind him and he hunched protectively over her to keep her safe.
Suddenly an unexpected guest arrived and punched Sasuke in the stomach. Surprising everyone. "Give little brother, you lost."
Sasuke looked up, spitting out blood he replied, "Itach…. Why..?" His head fell down as e blacked out. Itachi gathered him in his arms and turned to stare at Neji and Sakura. Neji glared, prepared to defend hima and Sakura while Sakura muttered a few mean things to Neji's back. She wasn't to happy about being hovered over so protectively as if she couldn't fight.
Itachi grinned, "I wish you both luck. I'll worry about Sasuke. It's time we worried about our own clan." He disappeared chuckling.
Sakura gaped, "What the hell was that?" She looked at Neji who shrugged.
Neji turned to her with "Are you crazy?" look. Sakura gaped, "What?"
Neji rubbed his head, "You don't think I care about you? I though you were smart!" Sakura's mouth dropped open. "Figure it out Sakura! I'm right here and for some reason I care like hell about you!"
Sakura looked at him with awed eyes. "You do?" Neji glared. She giggled, she had almost forgot that Neji was not very open about emotions. Sghe leaned over to kiss him which got passionate quickly.
By the time the gang found them they were making out again. Ino sighed, "Don't you two ever stop?" She sighed while everyone else had laughed awkwardly with sweat drops.
A/n: a bit long, yea , and a bit Ooc but it had to be done. Sry.
