Well alrighty then. I know it took a while for me to get this chapter out so i guess ill get on with the story. I was having a bit of difficulty on this whole neji dating thing. he seems like he would be such a party pooper. Anywho, the story...

Neji's P.O.V.

It was now turning to the crisp afternoonish time(you know? with the whole orange sun? not purple yet, just orange). This showed that they had been too late to catch lunch, since it would be dinner in a couple of hours.

What the hell was I thinking? I dont even know what she's like or who she is.

Who are you kidding? You've known who she was probably even better than herself after the Uchiha left.

It was true Neji had seen her in a scary death-like depression and watched her shed her past that was keeping her from growing into this brave young woman before him. He knew that it couldnt have been easy going through the hell he put her through, all for nothing.

She was the stongest person he had ever met, and that threatened him. Hell would freeze over before he admitted it though. She was headstrong, hot-tempered,courageous and an overall dangerous challenge. A challenge that he was determined to conquer.

Neji and Sakura had been walking around the town for about an hour now. Sakura had been talking for the whole time too. Neji never thought anyone could spit out words like that, that is, until he met Sakura. They were now pasing a sort of blank dirt patch for the third time.

"You know we are going in circles?" Sakura asked halting mid-sentence and turning to face Neji.

"Yeah," was his only response as he continued walking until he was in front of her.

Sakura continued walking in front of him and questioned, "Why?"

"To clear your system before we go into a public area."

"What is that suppose to mean?"

"You're noisy."

Sakura was speechless with fury.

Neji knew exactly how to push Sakura's buttons and he took some sadistic liking to it.

Here it comes...

Sakura's P.O.V.

What an asshole!!

"How dare you?! I'll have you know that I am the least-" Sakura was cut off.

"Dont kid yourself."

"Fine! Maybe I am a bit loud. But what does it harm?"

Neji was silent.

"Whatever, but when im moping around, just remember, its all because Neji had to go hurt my feelings..."

Crickets were still on his part.

"Dont you dare try to give me the silent treatment because that doesnt work on me! You should now better than that Neji-kun," she said in a mocking tone.

Neji stopped dead in his tracks. He got chills whenever she called him that.

"What did you just say? What did you call me?"

Sakura was a bit startled by his question and also by the fact that she had almost crashed into him.

"Neji-kun," she repeated slowly, almost with caution, "If you dont want me to though I ca-"

"No. Its alright."

Neji continued walking and she followed unconsciously.

Sakura was shivering. She regretted not bringing a coat. Neji had to have noticed because, the next thing she knew, a white robe was over her shoulders and she had started regaining warmth. She looked back at Neji who was now only wearing a black T-shirt.

"Thank you Neji-kun." Sakura whispered as a slight blush covered her cheeks.

He heard her perfectly.

That was weird...

Do you think his six pack has a six pack?

What? No! Where did that come from?

Im just wondering, I mean cmon, have you seen him? Especially the way that shirt adorns his abs!

You are so perverted!

Can you say ripped? I can. Inner Sakura was completely ignoring her other half while drooling over Neji's abs.

Sakura was pulled from her thoughts.

"May I take your robe ma'am?"

How the hell did I get here?

"No thank you."

I followed as a waitress lead us to a table for two in a corner. As they approached, Neji slid in front of Sakura to pull her seat out. Sakura then took her seat, not to long before Neji.

"What a gentleman," the waitress complimented Neji with a smile that soon faded upon seeing Neji's unresponsive expression. So she continued placing our menus in front of us and began to speak.

"Can I get you guys any drinks?"

"I'll have whatever she's having."

The waitress then turned to focus on Sakura, "Ma'am?"

"I'll have a suicide."

"Coming right up."

Silence fell upon the table with the waitress now gone. Sakura was at a loss for words. Neji had buried himself in his menu.

How boring! There is nothing to talk about. I guess I'll have to start a conversation. This silence is killing me!

"Have I told you thank you yet?"

"No."

"Okay. Im just making sure."

Neji slightly chuckled at her arrogance.

"Did I miss something?"

"No."

"Then why are you laughing?"

"I just thought it was a good moment to laugh."

"Whatever." Sakura was a bit irritated that he wouldnt tell her. Or, for that matter, even try to say something at an attempt to start a conversation.

Neji had looked up at her not once. She also buried herself in the choices now.

Once she had finished making her choice, she looked at Neji to see that he obviously had too. He still wasnt looking at her though.

Looking past Neji, Sakura noticed that their drinks were coming.

"Two suicides," she said while putting them on the table.

Both began to drink and Sakura noticed a woman with a baby walking on the sidewalk just outside the window.

She then turned to the pearly eyes that were still not focused on her and said, "Neji-kun I want a baby."

The Hyuga began to choke on his drink and for the first time he had looked her directly in the eyes and commanded, "Repeat that!"

Realizing the implication of her words, she began to frantically blurt out, "OH NO! I DIDNT MEAN WITH YOU REALLY, IM NOT SAYING THAT IT WOULDNT BE NICE WITH YOU BUT I JUST SAW A LADY WALKING WITH A BABY AND STARTED THINKING AND IM JUST SAYING," her volume lowered considerably, "one day..."

"Alright. If you dont find another guy, I would be happy to give you a child."

Sakura snapped her head toward Neji and just looked at him for a while. A smile was tugging at her face. She couldnt help but give in to it.

How perverted! I like.

Whatever, that was sweet. Who knew Neji could be a romantic?

"Why wont you look at me?"

"Its disrespectful to undress a woman with your eyes."

"No one told you to do that!"

"You're making it kind of hard not to."

"Then look me in the eyes."

"Alright."

He did just that. The feeling that rooted in the pit of her stomach made her so weak. She wouldve collapsed hadn't she been sitting.

"Not like that!"

"Like what?"

"I dunno!" Sakura's face was red.

Neji then turned from her gaze.

"Dont look away!"

"What the hell? Make up your mind."

"Im sorry. Its just-"

"Are you ready to order?" Sakura was interrupted by the waitress.

"Ummm...yes. I'll have the country fried steak," Sakura looked at the man across from her as a signal for him to speak now.

"I'll just have the ramen."

Having taken their orders, the waitress walked away once more.

"You were saying?"

"Oh nevermind. Just dont stop looking at me like that. Its nice."

"I couldnt look at you any other way if I wanted to."

Throughout the dinner, Neji and Sakura were, for the most part, silent besides the occasional arguement that was worked in by Sakura's temper.

By the time they had began walking back towards Sakura's house, it had to have been 7 or 8 'o clock.

They were now walking on a sidewalk, passing several small businesses.

"You know, I was thinking, since I call you Neji-kun, you should call me something like that."

"What if I dont feel that way about you?"

"Well do you?"

"Hn."

Sakura wore a look of dissapointment, "Oh...then I guess you dont hav-"

"Sakura-chan, you worry too much."

"What did you just call me?"

"Sakura-chan. If you dont want me to though I ca-" Neji mocked Sakura's words from earlier that evening.

Sakura laughed.

"No. Its alright."

They had arrived at Sakura's house now.

"So quickly?"

"Well its not that far when you arent going in circles."

"Whatever!"

Neji walked Sakura to her door and said, "I'll see you tomorrow."

As he began to walk away, Sakura called back to him, "Does this make us a 'we'?"

Neji had walked back up to her.

"Well I'd have to ask you first."

"Oh, alright then. Good night."

The medic turned to walk in her door but was pulled back by her arm.

"Sakura?" came Neji's voice from Sakura's side. Upon hearing it, she turned to look at him.

"Yeah?"

There goes that look again.

Sakura felt like she was gonna collapse again. Her stomach did a backflip and her knees began to give in.

Oh shit! Im actually falling!

Sakura began tipping to the left. Neji caught her though before she hit the ground(tango style).

How embarrassing. Sakura was blushing pink.

"Be my girl?"

Crimson now.

The pink haired girl could only squeak, "Yes."

Lifting Sakura back up right and , once again, walking away Neji said, "Good night Sakura-chan."

"Good night Neji-kun."

Alrighty! There it is. Like i said, i was having a little trouble getting neji to date but tell me what you think. You know the routine(REVIEW!!). Thanx and tootles.
