Chapter 7:

Rock! Paper!! Scissors!!!

With Neji & Lee

Neji woke up to the sound of the house-keeper knocking at the door. He saw that Lee was up and getting dressed so, he did the same.

When Lee saw his friend was awake, he called out to him- "Oi, Neji, where's TenTen-chan? I haven't seen her and it's almost five!" Neji's eyes shot toward the bed, he saw a note, picked it up and read it aloud

"I'm going to go for a walk. I'll be back for lunch. I'll see you later. Ok, it's already five, where could she be?!" Neji asked, worried and concerned. Lee looked over to him and his eyes went wide. Neji knew that look, he quickly grabbed a jacket and they ran out the door.

"Neji, where would she have gone? You think she wouldn't want to go anywhere after last night. They raced hurriedly through the busy town, darted away from carts and wagons, jumping high over bystanders. They looked everywhere until the heard screaming.

"Help! Please, somebody help!!!" Neji and Lee raced to where the yelling was coming from. Both were secretly praying that it wasn't her on the other end of that cry for help. But when they got there, running into the shop like that, as they reached the patio, Neji sunk to his knees.

Lee ran over to her side, and cradled her to him. He pulled his hand back as he saw the blood, oozing out of a small hole. Lee almost had a heart attack when he touched where the deep wound was on her chest. He waved Neji over to him. They quickly picked her up and ran as fast as they could to a nearby hospital. Neji was in a daze. He was blaming himself all over again for letting anything happen to her.

As they walked into the hospital, they were quickly surrounded by stretchers and doctors. It was all a blur for the boys, spinning and pushing and yelling. They were shoved into a waiting room. Finally, a disheveled nurse walked in and quickly looked around. She had gotten pushed around quiet a bit from the commotion. Her little white hat was barely hanging on her head. She was a pudgy little woman, almost like what a grandmother would look like.

She had a brisk step and made her way over to Neji and Lee. She looked down on them with curious eyes. "Are you the boys that came in with that girl about an hour ago?" An hour! It had been that long! Neji stood up as did Lee. Lee placed his big hand on Neji's stiff shoulder.

"Yes ma'am, she's with us. Is she alright?" Lee asked with concern drowning his rough voice. Her face turned solemn. She looked down quickly at the floor and then back up, pity in her gray eyes.

"Well, we're not one-hundred percent sure about her condition. I'm not really allowed to discuses this with you; I can go get her doctor if you want." She quietly murmured. Lee nodded and they sat back down. Neji's handsome lavender eyes were dull and stared into nothingness, all was dull, loud, and confusing, he didn't understand. Why would she leave the hotel? Why would she have put herself in that position?

"Neji? Um…we can go see her now. Do you want to come too? Neji? The doctor is here." Lee asked half-heartedly, placing his hand on Neji's shoulder to shake him. He must have zoned out when the nurse came back.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Let's go." Neji mumbled. They stood and followed the small little woman to the elevator. They looked at each other as she punched in the elevator numbers. When they reached the 4th floor, she led them off and into a small conference like room with big chairs and a long table. At the far wall was a projector and an x-ray screen. She ushered them into chairs by the screen.

A young doctor with a folder walked in, a self-conscious look on his face. "Sorry to bother you, but I need you to fill out these forms for her, we need any medical history and such. Well, a doctor will be in shortly to explain what's happened." He plopped the folder down and floored it out of the room. Lee looked over at Neji, slightly amused.

"Ya think he's new?" He joked, hoping to make Neji smile. It didn't work. "Here, you know her medical history better than I do. You can fill it out right?" Neji nodded and took the folder from him. He knew TenTen like the back of his hand. In a matter of minutes he was done. An older doctor walked in and took the sheets.

He sat down and introduced himself, he knew there was no room for beating around the bush, so he cut straight to the point. "Your companion has been shot. She was hit in the chest from behind. Luckily it didn't hit a vital spot. She's going to make it, so be thankful. You may go in and see her one at time. We have contacted your Hokage. She has been informed and has sent ANBU to finish the mission. Don't worry; we don't know any specifics about the mission. We only saw the headband and called her up." He added. This guy wasn't fooling around. He had obviously dealt with shinobi before.

Neji nodded as did Lee. After the doctor left all there was to do was decide who gets to go in first. Lee looked to Neji with big black eyes as Neji looked back with worry-stricken lavender orbs. Lee stuck his fist out to Neji. There was only one way to decide, rock-paper-scissors!!!

"You're kidding me, right? Are you really serious?" Neji asked him, slightly off-guard, but rolling up his sleeve at the same time. Lee smiled at him. Nothing ever changes. They both threw their fists into a face-off.

"Ready! Rock! Paper!! Scissors!!!" They barked in unison. The result was obvious.

Rock flattens scissors.

A/n: Omg, after reading this chapter, I wish it had been a little more…um, well, I dunno, longer…must be because I cut it from the last chapter to save time…Oh well, hope you enjoyed.

Ok, ok, ok, I know, I know, why haven't I updated "My Lovely Cherry Blossom"? I don't even know. I guess I'm bored with it. I need some inspiration. I can't promise when it'll be up. Just know that I'm working on it. Somewhat. It's one of those things I need to be in the mood to do. Grr, why must this writer's block haunt me so?!

Whatever, enough of my pitiful whining, look for the next "exciting" chapter of "The Accident of a Lifetime"! Enjoys!
