A/N: I don't own Naruto. Flame me or whatever you guys want to do, as long as you R&R alright? It's okay with me if you flame me because people learn from their mistakes when others point it at them. Something like that… I think? So enjoy.

"inner Sakura"
Chapter 2: About him…
"Sakura." Tsunade spoke at the now sleeping kunoichi.
"I know that I'm not in the area of asking, but… Do you still love him?" Tsunade stroke the kunoichi's now long bubble-gum hair. She saw the pain her apprentice went through. Even though Sakura was in pain, she would always smile and make other people happy.
You ask why? It was simply because, she doesn't want others to suffer what she's encountering as of now. She never showed her tears to anyone anymore. She never smiled her heart-warming smiles ever again. And she never opened up to anybody with the exception of her-Tsunade, Naruto, Ino and mostly Hyuuga Neji.
They never thought that the Hyuuga prodigy would help Haruno Sakura with her problems. He made her laugh which Tenten stated when they were together in a picnic with their friends. Hyuuga Neji made Haruno Sakura laugh, smile, open up and mostly cry infront of him only. He would comfort her in any way he could. He would also ask her out and she surprisingly accepted it.
The door flew open and revealed a VERY worried prodigy. He walked towards the bed after closing the door shut behind him. Tsunade gave him a sad smile. And he nodded confirming that he knows what's this about.
"It's been 3 years since he left." Tsunade spoke. Neji took a chair and sat there on the other side of the bed facing Sakura and Tsunade.
"Yes it is. She told me that she doesn't love him anymore. And I believed that because she only love him as a dear friend." Neji replied as he stared at Sakura's face, examining her.
"The anbu found her on-..."
"On that concrete bench where Uchiha left her. I know." Neji cut her off.
"But how come you said she doesn't love him and yet she was there?" Tsunade asked him.
" Because she couldn't accept the fact that he left them without saying goodbye." Neji stroked Sakura's pink locks.
"I see…" the Hokage stood up and looked down at the brunette who had a questioned expression.
"I have other meetings to attend to Neji. Please take care of her." She looked back at him and then closed the door shut.
"Sakura, tell me why'd you miss him so much…?" Neji asked the sleeping woman infront of him.
Outside the room the Hokage sighed as she heard Neji ask the sleeping kunoichi.
'I think it's time for you Neji to show your love for her before she goes looking for that Uchiha again. I hope you won't be a stubborn bastard not like Uchiha.' Tsunade said to herself as she walked down the hallway.
Inside the room.
Sakura was kind of moving a little and Neji saw this.
"Sakura are you awake?" Neji held on Sakura's hand.
She was struggling, tears flowing down her pale cheeks.
"Sakura! Wake-up!"
no answer…
"Sakura!" Neji got worried every second.
'I can hear a voice….'
"Sakura!"
'Sakura wake-up. Neji-kun's there. Don't worry he won't hurt you.' Inner Sakura spoke to Sakura.
"Neji-kun!" Sakura woke up and she suddenly hugged Neji as if there was no tomorrow.
"Sakura-san you're awake." Neji smiled to her. This smile of his was not anymore surprising because Neji only showed his heart-warming smiles to her and so is she to him.
"I know you're give me one hell of a lecture of not staying out there. But I assure you I DON'T love Sasuke anymore. I know that because I gave up on him for 2 years straight. I know you'd say 'stop it Sakura I know you love him' but I don't anymore. I was there on that god forsaken bench because I remembered our genin days." Sakura was catching air right now while she was hugging Neji and crying at the same time.
"It's okay Sakura-san. Don't worry, I believe you." Neji pulled her to see her crying face. He wiped the tears away and kissed her forehead making Sakura blush like a tomato.
"Oh Neji-kun." Sakura knew that Neji has feelings for her and so is she to him. But it was unknowing of Neji of those feelings from her.
She leaned on him, a lip apart from each other and she…
Cliffhanger!
