CHAPTER 8: Language of Flower

Neji walked to the next corridor. Forth corridor. It was pretty dark, but you could smell flowers in entire corridor, which Neji didn't like. The only flower's scent he liked is white lily, because Hinata always used it and he getting used to that. Besides, the scent was suitable for Hinata.

Naruto didn't like the scent. It didn't like he hate flower's scent but there was too many scents mixed and it smelt unpleasant. He could see Neji's covered his nose with his handkerchief and he did so. He looked back at Gai and Lee. They were enjoying the annoying scent and praised it. Naruto sweatdropped and Neji didn't care. Naruto pretended they weren't there. However, they are crazy so, they didn't have to sweatdrop or something like that.

They stopped in front of glass door. Seeing that, both Neji and Naruto sweatdropped, again. Neji knew the door wouldn't led him to his Hinata-sama. Because, he had a feeling if the corridor leads him to Hinata, the corridor would bright and smell white-lily in entire corridor and the wall was white.

Neji opened the door. They blanked when they saw the interior. It was a small flower garden indoor. They could see a female ghost was watering them. When, she heard the door opened she turned to them. She wore white-apron with blue dress. Her hair was blonde and her eyes were green.

"Hi" she smiled as she gave her hand.

"Uph" Naruto almost laughed when saw her face. It was too weirdo, but it was impolite so he tried not to laugh.

Neji just bowed to her.

She smiled again, "I'm Seara. And you?" she asked.

Neji grumbled. Must he tell his name for each corridor?

He just looked away even Naruto didn't answer her question.

"I'M THE BLUE BEAST OF KONOHA, MAITO GAI!!" Gai said as he showed his thumb and clinged teeth.

"AND I'M THE GREEN BEAST OF KONOHA, ROCK LEE!!" Lee said as he did Gai's pose.

"IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU!" they said in unison.

Seara almost laughed when she saw them. But, she tried not to.

Neji shoved Gai and Lee away.

"Tell my quest now" he demanded.

Seara sighed, then she held six kinds of flower.

"Your quest is…telling these flowers' meanings" Seara replied.

Neji blanked, Naruto's eyes widened, and Gai and Lee stopped acting crazy.

"NANI?!"

THIS was hard for boys.

But, Neji tried his best to pass this door, so he could continue.

He tried to recognize the flowers she held. Then, he did it. Hibiscus, Sunflower, Periwinkle, Blossoms, Rose and Hyacinth. But as he remembered flower has a different meaning if the kind is different. Troublesome.

Okay, second step. He must recognize the kinds. Hibiscus…General, Sunflower…nah, does Sunflower have a kind? Periwinkle…blue. Blossoms…Orange…no…Apple, Rose…red leaved and the Hyacinth…Neji realized he'd ever brought it for Hinata…Purple, yes Purple Hyacinth.

Then, he remembered, Ino had told him about the flowers' meaning. Let's see. From easy to hard.

Purple Hyacinth. "The one you held with your left hand, the right one. Purple Hyacinth right?"

"Yup. Meaning?"

"'I-I'm sorry, please forgive me'?" he replied, not sure.

"Right! Five to go!" Seara cheered.

"The left one is Apple Blossom, to wish good fortune" Neji answered again.

"Right! Four to go!"

Naruto looked at Neji in awe face. He couldn't believe Neji knew such thing.

"The one you held in your right hand, the left one. Blue Periwinkle for the first stage of friendship" Neji answered.

"Wow! You do well. Go on!" Seara cheered again.

"In the left hand, Red leaved Roses for wish prosperity or hope" Neji answered.

"Right!" Seara replied in sing-a-song voice.

Neji sighed. The easy step had gone. All the flowers he'd given to Hinata, had he answered. Now, the hard step.

Hibiscus or Sunflower. Then, he chose Hibiscus. Ino'd suggested it for he gives it to Hinata once. But, he rejected it.

"In the right, Hibiscus. 'You have a delicate beauty'" he answered.

"Right, and the last one?" Seara asked.

"Sunflower. 'I adore you' or 'I'm proud to know you'" Neji answered, proud he could make it so far. So genius he was.

"TING TONG! Congratulation! You've just passed the forth!!" Seara said as she shook Neji's hand.

Neji sighed deeply. All thanks to Ino.

"Okay, then. My job's finished. Gotta go. Bye!" She waved. Then, out of nowhere, Ino appeared.

"Ino!" Naruto cried.

Ino sighed. "You guys are too long"

"He-he, sorry" Naruto grinned.

"Naruto, Neji, Gai-sensei and Lee. Great! Just great!" Ino muttered.

"Hey, it's not the right words to say to your helper" Neji protested.

"Helper?"

"I explore the entire corridors for search all of you, you know?" Neji muttered as he walked away.

"Actually, he just search Hinata-chan" Naruto whispered to Ino.

Ino shrugged it off.

"You come or not?" Neji asked them.

"Matte!" Naruto called as he caught Neji up.
