A/N: Well here is the second installment of this fan fiction. I'm still not entirely sure if it should be an actual story so it might end up just being a three shot-which I don't know if there is a such thing but hey for the sake of this story, there should be. I also want to thank everyone who reviewed, you made me want to update. Well then let me get on with the story before my mom decides to barge in my room and tell me to turn off the computer since its like 2 am. So without further adieu, here's chapter two. Oh that rhymed- uh um cough.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, I wouldn't have to live with my bone head of a brother but would be able to buy the consent of my parents and get him shipped off to some random country I've never heard of.

Chapter two: Another Encounter

It started with one word. A word that was as insignificant to me as a bird on a tree. A word that was uttered out by me at countless moments everyday. A word that would prove to be the start of my fascination with Sakura Haruno. My name is Neji Hyuuga and this is my story.

All I said was "Hn" when I discovered the reason why a pink haired girl had not too subtly run into my back. I don't know exactly why I said it or for the matter anything at all but I know I said it. I had then walked away from her leaving her to stand there with a shocked expression on her face.

After walking away from the pink haired girl, I had walked to my usual spot behind the trees. I sat down on the grass covered ground and started to unwillingly think about the previous encounter I had with the girl.

Thinking

It seems she had been in a hurry to go somewhere and wasn't looking when she accidentally crashed into my back. When I had turned around to see the idiot who dared to disturb me, and saw the form of a girl, I was a little shocked but I quickly recovered from it.

She was brushing the sand of her clothes and still wasn't aware who's presence she was in. Still waiting to get a good look at the idiot who was apparently a girl, her eyes made contact with my clothes and she stiffened.

She had then slowly looked up and her eyes connected with mine. Her expression looked something between that of shock and worry and her eyes drifted to the floor.

She looked like she was deep in thought and having no time for her explanation, I turned and started walking away. I had only gone a step or two ahead when I heard her say "I'm sorry I didn't mean to crash into you but I was in hurry." Taking the words in, I turned around. For some unexplainable reason, I calmed down at her words and my eyes changed from the cold stare I usually had to an expression my face hadn't hosted in a long time. My eyes softened a bit but after quickly regaining myself, returned to their normal state.

What I did seemed to shock her and shocked even me. I could have just walked away after her explanation but I didn't. I could have even pretended that I hadn't heard her at all and go about with my business but I didn't. However, for some apparent reason, I found it necessary to reply her back. I couldn't just walk away and leave her not acknowledging her or her reason.

I'm sure she wasn't even expecting a reply in return judging from the expression she had on her face after I replied her. She probably just felt the need to be polite and explain her action but wasn't actually expecting to get a reply.

However, I found my self replying her with the word "Hn" which was the only thing that I could think of to say. I had then turned around and walked away.

End of thoughts

Sitting in seclusion, I snapped out of my thoughts about the previous encounter and after looking around for a bit, decided it was time to go back to the classroom.

I was the first one in the classroom as usual and I sat down in my usual seat in the back of the classroom. Slowly, the rest of the class had started coming in with Guy sensei following. I felt the chair next to me being pulled out and instantly knew it was Lee claiming his seat beside me.

I glanced at him out of the corner of my eyes and saw that he looked worse than usual. He looked like he'd been in a fight but knowing Lee, he was probably just training.

He's determined to beat me and he practices everyday hoping that one day, he'll be able to surpass me. I scoffed inside at the idea. He should know by now that he's wasting his time. People don't change. Once you're something, that's what you are no matter how hard you try to prove different. You could put in hours of training and practice all your jutsu's but if you are not naturally talented, then all your work was done for nothing.

The rest of class went by with nothing prominent happening and soon it was time to go home. I not being one to carry books around, didn't have to go to get my books but instead got ready to go home.

I slowly walked out of the classroom and down the hallways allowing its inhabitants to get out before me since I didn't feel like interacting with any of them.

The halls had quickly dissipated and I was soon the only one in them. I was just about walking out the doorway of the school when a moving object coming from the side of the opposite direction I was coming from crashed into me.

My body wasn't affected at all by the collision but the other person's had and they had been knocked off balance and their books had fallen on the floor. Getting a good look at the person, I found myself looking at a girl with familiar looking light pink hair who was currently hunched over picking up her books.

Not being able to stop myself, I bended down and reached for the remaining books on the floor and gathered them. Getting back to my standing position, I waited for the light haired girl to get up. When she saw me, her face demonstrated surprise but she tried to hide it and wasn't exactly succeeding.

I saw a light blush appear on her cheeks clearly out of embarrassment. I handed her her books and she graciously took them and opted to put them in her bag but stopped when she felt me about to walk away.

"Thanks" she said to me.

But this time, I could tell she was expecting a reply in return. While trying to figure out if I should answer her or not, she said

"What, no Hn?" While smiling sweetly at me but looked as if the comment wasn't supposed to come out.

The look on her face almost made me laugh…but I didn't. Pretending as if I didn't hear her, I walked around her and started walking away.

About four feet away from her, I turned around and for some reason, said "Hn" in a voice loud enough for her to hear me.

I then added "For the record, don't ever mock me again" and walked away leaving the stunned and embarrassed girl at the doorway of the school with a smug smile firmly placed between my lips.

Well that was chapter two. As you can tell, it was in Neji's point of view and I put in some things from the previous chapter so people could see how he viewed them or should I say how I viewed him viewing the situation….whatever too confusing. The important thing is that the chapter is in Neji's POV which is why you have the no one can ever change no matter how hard they try bit- which by the way is so not true. But I wrote it in there cause he had to stay in character. Oh yeah last chapter, I wrote that Neji's hair was black…my bad. I forgot what color it was and wrote black but as a reviewer stated, it's not black or blue it's a milk chocolate so sorry about that.
