Neji's P.O.V.

Neji had only dreamt of pleasure this grand. The first time was akward. Great...but akward. This...oh this was purely and utterly complete ecstacy.

The sight of Sakura beneath him. Her eyes closed in what he knew was intense pleasure. The way her freshly cut chin-length hair clung to her moist face and sprawled out on the pillow beneath her head. The jostling of her breasts everytime he thrust into her. Harder and faster each time. Just thinking about the image of her this way aroused him, but actually seeing it...wow.

And when she climaxed, it was like nothing he'd ever witnessed.

Her walls got tighter. Her mouth opened wider. The noises she had been choking on escaped. She held her breath at each intense pulse of pleasure.

He felt himself shivering above her from his own orgasm. But looking at her during this moment is what really sent him over the edge.

Sakura's P.O.V.

Sakura lay in her bed completely naked, besides the sheets covering her petite form. A gentle breeze had awaken her.

She couldn't help but notice that the man whose arms she had fallen asleep in, was no longer there and the window was open, when it had not been prior to her slumber. It didn't take a genius to figure that one out.

As Sakura lay in her bed, she thought about how lonely it felt. About how she had never felt so alone by simply waking up to no one but herself. About how his touch electrified her. About how he treated her like gold, and a diamond in bed. About Hyuga Neji in general.

Her senses began to interrupt her thoughts, as they told her that a pair of eyes were watching. She didn't panic in the least. Who else would be watching but the man of her latest fantasies (and realities).

Sakura stood up, still embracing the sheets wrapped around her body, and walked over to her window.

"Neji-kun, you don't have to peek. It's not as if you haven't seen me before," Sakura chuckled.

She still got no response so she decided to help Neji come out a bit quicker. She dropeed the sheets that were around her and began to walk to her drawer. She slipped on a bra and panties and then glided to the center of the room.

Confident in her body, she stated, "How can you resist?"

There was suddenly a large thud as if the watcher had fallen against her roof. A second later Uzumaki Naruto jumps in her window shouting.

"Aha! So it is true! How insulting. How can you not have invited me to the wedding?" he now wore puppy dog eyes, "Your most loyal frien-"

"Naruto-"

Uzumaki grabbed Sakura by the shoulders, "Wait, Sakura, I want to finish this...through thick and thin I've been there. This is just down right insulting and hu-"

"Uh...Naru-"

"Sakura, please. This is just hurtful. How can you live with the guilt of knowing that I'm hurting inside? You can't really expect me to be okay with you not telling me. But not only that-"

"Naruto!"

"What do you want Sakura-chan!? I've been practicing this speech."

"Well in case you havn't noticed, I'M NAKED!!"

Sakura and Naruto both turned their heads to Sakura's bedroom door, after hearing it open.

There Neji stood in the doorway. An unreadable expression on his face.

Neji's P.O.V.

What...

...the...

...fuck...

That was the only thing passing through Neji's head, while taking in the sight of Naruto holding his half-nude girlfriend by the shoulders.

He wanted to walk backwards out the room and pretend he hadn't seen anything. Unfortunately he couldn't.

He was scanning in his mind. Looking for any shred of information that would justify this sight.

when he came up blank, his body seemed to move before he could stop it. And then Naruto was unconscious on the ground. He now stood in front of Sakura, where Naruto had been before his fall.

He was looking dead at Sakura with a blank expression. Well he hoped it was as empty as he was trying to make it. Whereas Naruto was just looking dead.

Sakura looked from Neji to Naruto and back again.

"What did you do to him!?"

"Why is he here?"

"Neji! Answer me!"

"Lady's first."

Sakura gave a huge huff before bending down to check on Naruto. This gave Neji a very nice view. Now that she was on her knees checking for a pulse and listening for a heartbeat, the unconscious Uzumaki got an even better sight and feel of Sakura's breasts.

This did nothing to ease Neji.

"Have you forgotten that you are naked?" he managed to get out between gritted teeth.

"No, but somebody's got to help him," Sakura replied as she began to lift him up, squeezing him close to her body for support, "Besides...I've got underwear on."

Sakura gave Neji a playful smile. He didn't return this light hearted attitude.

Neji growled under his breath.

"I've got him. Just go put some clothes on."

He grabbed Naruto by the back of his collar and threw him onto the bed.

"Geez, why so harsh, Neji-kun?" Sakura tried to play innocent.

"Sakura...clothes."

"Tired of seeing all this already?" Sakura felt herself provocatively.

Neji grabbed Sakura's hips and pressed their body's together.

"I havn't seen nearly enough."

Sakura smiled.

"But you still haven't told me what Naruto is doing in your bedroom."

"Details, details," Sakura waved it off.

Neji scowled but continued, "Naruto is going to wake up in 11 seconds. Get dressed, Sakura!" He released her in the direction of her closet.

"Fine, fine," She continued walking to her closet.

Neji hadn't stopped frowning at the closet door until Naruto shifted on the bed. He was Neji's new target to cremate with his eyes.

"What are you doing in Sakura's room?"

Naruto looked around a bit seeming confused, "Well I just came to check on her and see if everyone is right about her and--" Naruto gasped, "Neji."

Naruto seemed to realize who he was talking to. A nervous chuckle escaped his lips.

"Now you see, there is a very good explanation as to why I was in Sakura's room...while she was almost nude."

Neji just kept staring, waiting for an answer.

"It's quite funny actually..."

"I'm up for a laugh," Neji gave a venomous smirk.

"Well I came to see what Sakura was up to because I hadn't seen her in days and the hospital staff said she was acting kind of funny. So I came to her window but then she uh," Naruto cleared his throat, "Well uh..."

"Uzumaki," Neji hissed threateningly.

"Ok, ok! She thought I was you and then she uh...um...well...you know!" Naruto rambled while pointing dramatically to the sheet on the floor.

"Let's say that your poor explanation is legitimate. What's wrong with the front door?"

"Well, you see, I knew Sakura might still be sleeping so I thought I might surprise her awake. Just as a joke," Naruto chuckled. It died, however, shortly after seeing no change in Neji's hostile expression.

"Mhmm. And once you saw her naked, you didn't leave because..."

Naruto stood from the bed hurriedly as Neji slowly approached.

He managed to choke out in his nervousness, "Ah..well... you see...i uh really wanted to um...to tell her something. And also...," Naruto's voice spiked a bit with courage when he said, "she's hot!"

Naruto leaped out the window a nanosecond later. Neji didn't bother going after him.

He didn't mind that Naruto found Sakura attractive. It actually made him feel a bit proud to have her. What he did mind was the fact that that dobe let his attraction affect his actions.

As Sakura left her closet with a change of clothes, still in her underwear, Neji made a mental note to handle Naruto later. She headed out her bedroom door muttering something about needing a shower.

Neji took that moment to leave, although he wanted to join her.

Sakura's P.O.V.

"...but when I told her that very same thing that the nurse on the second floor did, she started to get all snotty with me! Can you believe that? Me either. Well anyway where do you wanna eat?"

Neji didn't answer her. He hadn't answered her for the last 17 questions she asked him but she just found the answer that she wanted in his silence and kept talking.

Neji and Sakura were cruisin the street, looking for somewhere to have breakfast.

They were getting following eyes from almost every direction. This didn't surprise them at all. This was their first time out in public as an item.

Individually they got plenty of stares. As a couple, the amount tripled. There were the usuals for each of them and then there were the new spectators who joined the sport of stalking to catch a glimpse of the couple together.

Sakura was very aware that Neji was not answering her but she really didn't mind so long as he was listening. But she actually wanted a suggestion on where to eat so she pressed further.

"Neji? Helloooo..."

The Hyuga shrugged his shoulders.

"Come on, there are so many options, and this day has to be memorable."

"Why?"

"It's our first day together!!"

"No it isn't."

"You know what I mean!"

Neji didn't respond and Sakura's face began to droop.

The prodigy suddenly found words, "How about where you usually eat breakfast?"

Sakura's face didn't change a bit when she responded, "But that's so usual."

"Not for me." Neji grinned in her direction.

"I guess..."

Why does he want such a boring breakfast on a beautiful day like this?

He just gave you the answer.

No he didn't.

Yes he did, you numbskull. He said that it wouldn't be for him.

Oh. What a romantic, Sakura inwardly joked.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

After breakfast, Sakura had decided to go pick up a few groceries. Bacon being one of them of course.

Sakura often wondered why she even bothered to keep food at her house that wasn't microwavable but always seemed to remember when Ino would pop by in the morning.

Ino was a great cook. Everybody knew it. The medic nin kind of wondered why she didnt just start her own catering business instead of running that flower shop. But Ino would always say something about family, priceless, and no.

Sakura was striding striding toward the market. Neji was following about 3 feet behind her.

"Hurry. You know that we gotta get to the fresh produce before other shoppers in the morning," Sakura urged Neji and held her hand out behind her.

"Well no, I didn't know that," Neji took Sakura's hand but didn't speed.

Sakura tried to pull him gently but found it futile so slowed down a bit, "But that's like the number one rule of shopping."

"I don't shop."

"What do you mean you don't shop? Everyone shops. I'm a horrible cook but I still need the basics, like milk, bread, and fruits."

There was a silence for a few seconds until Sakura began speaking again.

"Oh I get it. You probably have people that pick up groceries for you huh? I'll bet they cook it too. I can imagine it already. 'Master Hyuga #999,999, your dinner is ready,'" Sakura exagerrated in a mock servant voice. "You sure do have it made."

They were now standing in front of a produce stand. Sakura decided that she needed to stock up on some fruits.

"It's not as good as it looks."

"Oh cry me a river Mr. Lives-In-A-Mansion," Sakura chuckled.

"I can say the same to you Ms. Best-Nurse-In-Town."

"Not so long as Tsunade is here," Sakura bragged.

Sakura was paying for the bunch of apples and grapes she had selected. After doing so, she began her stride in the same direction to the meat market.

"But seriously, what is wrong with you? You are living a dream. The gorgeous, filthy rich, excellent ninja."

Neji smirked, "You think I'm gorgeous and an excellent ninja?"

Sakura noticed that he was dodging the question but decided to leave it for later, "Hell no! That's just what I hear around town sometimes."

Sakura through him a devilish smile.

"Oh. My apologies for being so bold as to assume that you found me physically apt and attractive."

Sakura took her faster pace once more and skipped a couple feet in front of Neji.

"Its quite alright. Many men find themselves delusional in my presence for some reason."

"And who can blame the poor souls?"

Sakura's cheeks reddened a bit and she kept her silence.

Neji's P.O.V.

A few minutes had passed silently when they finally arrived at the meat market. After Sakura got her bacon she'd headed back to her home to put away the groceries. The silence remained unbroken. She had no intention of staying home long, so they didn't.

While walking out of her house, Neji found it impossible to contain his words any longer.

"Why so silent?"

Sakura was staring at the roses in her neighbor's garden.

"I don't know. Don't have much to say I guess."

"That's a first."

"Whatever," Sakura chuckled.

It was now noonish and they were walking aimlessly around the town.

"This way," Neji said while nodding his head toward the left, where there was an intersection in the dirt road.

"Which way," she obviously hadn't seen his gesture.

He grabbed her hand and changed his direction in the way that he had nodded, causing her to move with him.

After turning the corner, he didn't let go of her hand. It felt oddly pleasant to finally have Sakura. It felt better to express his possessiveness.

They had been walking for a few minutes making small talk. Most of the talk coming from Sakura, of course.

Minutes had passed and Neji they were almost at their destination.

"So where are we going anyway?" Sakura was curious now, since she didn't recognize the road.

"Home," was all Neji said.

Sakura's grip on his hand got tighter as she immediately stopped.

Naturally, this pause got Neji's attention.

"What's wrong, Sakura-chan?"

"I'm not goin in there."

"Why not?"

"Are you kidding? That place gives me the creeps! No offense but your house is like scary movie-ville."

"Come on. Most of us don't bite."

"Not happening."

"Alright. It can wait," Neji had resigned for now.

"What do you mean 'wait'? It's not happening."

"Okay."

Neji wasn't worried. He knew that she knew, if their relationship were to be official, it'd have to happen eventually.

She remained silent as they detoured from their previous road.

Once they had left it completely she asked, "So which way was that? I didn't recognize it."

"That road leads to the back entrance of the compound."

"There's a back way in??"

Sakura seemed thoroughly intrigued by this for some strange reason.

"Yeah. And a side entrance as well."

"Really?"

"Oh yes. And when I'm feeling adventurous, some days I take the underground route."

Sakura realized that he was now just teasing her .

"Whatever! You don't have to be mean."

"Hn. Why are you so ineterested by that place?"

"I dunno. Its just a really nice place."

"Filled with pretty messed up people."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Sakura's P.O.V.

The both of them were walking back into the woods for a little bit of alone time together when they heard odd grunting sounds.

Neji suddenly became still and said, "Let's go back to your place."

"Oh, but i dont feel like beingin that place just yet. I want some nice relaxing fresh air," was Sakura's response.

"You have a backyard right?"

"Um, well yeah but-"

"Come on then"

"Wait, Neji, whats wrong with the woods?"

The grunting noises continued.

Neji answered, "That," speaking of the sound.

"Seriously? You know we can take whatever it is."

"Um, not really. Sakura just trust me. We do not want to be here."

"Fine, another time."

Sakura noticed the grunting noises had stopped and Neji had sped up a little.

Suddenly, an all to bubbly voice came from behind, "Neji-san! Sakura-chan!!"

Without turning around, Neji bitterly whispered, "Lee."
