Well then peoples! I had no idea how to start this chapter so I thought I'd cut to the chase, I hope you dont mind, but I am a very concise person when it comes to writing. When I try to fill things out it just seems so full of crap. So lets get to it shall we?
Neji's P.O.V.
Neji began to walk out the door of the hospital room that they were still standing in. He looked back at her for two seconds as a signal to follow him. When realizing, she complied.
Minutes seemed to fly by as he and Sakura walked. They were passing the same green opening loaded with trees as before. Neji was walking at a slower pace behind the medic nin. Sakura began to look around and then turned to give a puzzle dlook at Neji.
When they came to sort of a split in the path they turned right, coming to face a very smooth path with far less trees.
"Are we going to-?"
"Your house? Yes."
"But how do you-?"
"Know where you live?" Neji inquired. Sakura wished that he would let her finish her own sentences. "I dont, but the other day when we were walking, you seemed to almost unconsciously drift in this direction. I assumed you lived this way."
"So you were paying attention to me! And I thought I did all that talking for nothing," Sakura said in relief, turning back around to place her back in Neji's direction.
"No."
"What do you mean no?!" she yelled snapping her head right back around, this time her body following, and stopping right in front of him. This, of course, caused him to stop. Although he had half a mind to walk right around her.
"Everything you were saying was useless nonsense. I felt no point in giving my attention."
Alook of pure evil sprung on Sakura's face.
Sakura said deep and slowly, almost threateningly,"Really?" The statement had a feel of surpressed anger. And for good reason.
"Mmmmhmmm," he said calmly, as if he weren't just insulting this girl.
What is she going to do? Kill me?
Neji knew he had it coming. he could feel it. But to his surprise, a silence continued to grace the air. He saw her fist clench and remembered that strength of hers.
Maybe she is going to kill me.
Completely opposite to the way he felt, Neji calmly asked, "What? Do you want to fight again?"
"No. You're too weak for me." Sakura said in a fluid tone, finally releasing her fist. And lucky she did. If she held it any longer, Neji could see, her nails would have penetrated her skin.
Sakura began to walk again. Neji, of course followed.
IM WHAT?! Ok, ok, calm down. Shes just messing with you. Shes doing this on purpose. Calm down.
Finally collecting himself, he said,"I apologize. I'll be sure to train harder to match up to Ms. Ego."
Sakura was boiling now!
"You go around talking about how you're so amazing and how its everyone's destiny to lose. Everyone except, of course, you! And I'm Ms. Ego? Go figure. You've got some nerve Mr. Ego!"
They had stopped in front of a yellow two story house. It had a cozy, homey appeal about it. There was a white picket fence that carried across to her neighbors' houses.
"Your house?" Neji asked with his eyes glancing back and forth from her to the house.
"Yes," she quietly answered, until resuming with her loud voice, "But dont try to change the subject!"
Neji could only chuckle.
"And what are you laughing about?" Sakura couldnt keep herself from yelling.
"So if you're Ms. Ego and Im Mr. Ego, are we a couple?"
Sakura's face went red with a mix of anger and embarrassment.
"W-why are we at my house anyway?" stumbled out of her mouth in desperation to change the subject, which she had earlier been keeping him from doing. She wore a scowl.
"I thought you might want to change from your work attire before we set out for the evening." Neji didnt even try to hide his amusement.
Sakura's face softened at his consideration, but snapped right back at the sight of his humor.
"Thanks." It came out bitterly.
Walking through the fence she said, "Come on. I'm not just going to leave you out here." She obviously noticed that he hadnt followed her before.
Making it through the doorway, she signaled for him to take a seat on a blue suade-ish sofa and he did so. After putting her doctors' coat away, she walked directly toward where he was seated and stopped in front of him.
"How should I dress for our uh...thingy? You know, whatever it is you have planned," she asked with still a hint of attitude in her voice.
"In clothes I assume," he said like a 'duh' tone.
"You're impossible!"
Neji sat there staring as she stormed off and dissapeared up spiraling stairs.
Sakura's P.O.V.
Ugh! That guy is so annoying! how am I suppose to know what to wear?
Thats not a problem. Just look sexy! But not too formal. Because if you notice, he is wearing his usual clothes.
You're right! So you are good for something.
Just get dressed!
Sakura was walking down a plain white hall with four doors. Two to then left, one to the right and one straight ahead.
Passing the second door on the left, which was the bathroom, she thought, No time to take a shower, and proceeded to the only door on the right.
She walked into a baby blue colored room with a huge window for a view of that oh so famous garden-like area that they kept passing. It just so happened to be behind her house.
She went straight to her small closet and started racking through out fits, repeating in her head, Casual sexy casual sexy casual sexy, until...
Viola! She held out a black halter top with metallic silver designs splotched on it, that barely came above her navel and a pair of grey, Sakura-length shorts(which match the splotches) under a black skirt, slitted up the sides. She wore, also a metallic silver, pair of snadals/heels. Sakura made sure that her heels were low, as to not seem too formal(she, of course, still had her kunai pouch).
The medic nin threw on a few accessories and brushed her hair a couple times. She was now ready to blow his mind.
She left her room and took her time walking down the stairs for, I guess you can say a dramatic effect. Neji's eyes were closed though.
She walked right in front of him like before and said, "It hasn't been fifteen minutes and your dozing off?"
Sounding a little pissed, Neji opened his eyes and growled, "I was meditating," but upon seeing her, his eyes widened a bit.
"Yeah, whatever. Can we go?"
"Sure..."
Neji began to stand and Sakura took a step to the side. When he began to walk, Sakura followed him, locking her door on the way out.
Key dokey then! This chapter was more of preparation for their afternoon/evening out. Next chapter will be the real deal. So hope you enjoyed, please review and let me know what you think or what you would like to see in the story. K? Thanx. 'Til next time.
