Neji and Sakura was walking just looking at different things and getting to know each other a little better. It was getting late dark and Sakura had training in the morning with Kurenai and this time she had to use Xyoukugan to the fullest again but with out using her pet dragon which she already knew was going to be bad. She couldn't help but be afraid. She felt Neji put an arm around her waist and pull her close. She loved the feeling of his hands on her body it made her feel wanted. Never in a million years she expected to fall for Neji, yeah he is cute and hot but, she will never give her a second chance. Than it hit her if it wasn't for Saskue making a deal with Neji than she would have never known what a wonderful guy Neji is and for that she wasn't mad at him she wanted to thank him. She slapped out of her thoughts when she felt Neji stop causing her to stop.

"Neji "he moved her into and alley and push her against the wall his body in front of hers. She looked at him. "We are being followed "he said looking at the empty block. " We are, I don't see anyone "she said looking out until she saw a leg cover with orange and blue pants. " Naruto "she said about to go after him. Until Neji stopped her she looked at him.

"That's Naruto"

"I know and I have a plan to teach him a lesson "he smirked.

Naruto started to walk looking for Neji and Sakura wondering why they were together. He began to walk slowly and peeked into the alley only to have his eyes widen at what he saw. Sakura lying on the ground not moving, He looked around looking for Neji but didn't find him.

"Sakura "he said running to her trying to wake her up but it didn't work. He was worried about her.

"Wait till I get that cold hearted Jerk for doing this to my Sakura He said. As he heard her move and bend down.

"Sakura "he said

"Naruto, it was Neji he's crazy "she said

"Huh? What did he do to you "

"He…He…He Knocked me out but, after telling me no one could have me "She cried. Naruto grew mad.

"Don't worry Sakura-Chan I'll protect you from him "

"You Can't "

"Huh? Why? "

"Because it's too late He's killing every guy who has ever said a word to me "she said

"What..." he said turning around to see a very angry Neji looking at him? And that's when everything went Black.

Sakura and Neji walked inside her house laughing at how easily Naruto fell for that old trick in the book. It was already dark and only eight o'clock pm.

"I can't believe he fell for that "laughed Sakura. Taking off her boots and sitting on the couch turning on the t v set. Neji walked over and join her.
" Has Naruto always been so slow "he said Sakura laughed and nodded yes.

"So, Neji are you going to stay over "she said. She really wanted him to and wanted him to stay forever.

"No, I can't I have a mission tomorrow night and I don't like to pack at the last minute "he said. Sakura felt hurt but didn't show it she could tell that Neji knew because he moved closer and kiss her soft lips.

"Don't be mad at me Sakura "he said in between their kisses. She smiled and shook her head and pulled back.

"What type of mission is it "she said

" A family the Osamu's they are resigning from duty moving to the Mist Village…but I think there is more to the story that they are keeping from us"

"At least you have a reason to talk to them now" she said smiling. He looked at her and kissed her lips she pulled back.

"Perhaps…you should start heading home before it rains "

"Alright "and with he got up and kiss her again and left. Sakura stared out the window. It was getting really dark and there was lighting and thunder that was really loud and sounded like a roar from a big beast she screamed and got up and ran to her room. Sakura took a quick shower and put on her pajamas well a pajama shirt. That was long selves and reach above her knees her hair was out and she went down stairs wishing Neji was there.

Neji was in his room packing he was only taking a bag that was easy to carry he packed a change of clothes some extra weapons and a map him and his teammates always tend to get lost. He looked at the time he had gotten home an hour ago just before it stared to run. He couldn't help but wonder what Sakura was doing and if she afraid of the rain. He than realize that he enjoy sleeping in the same bed as her and couldn't sleep without her. He looked outside it was raining cats and dogs but he didn't care he climb out his window and left not wanting to wake up his cousin or uncle.

Sakura was asleep on the bed covers over her. She slept soundly as a shadow figure stared at her. He walked over and touched her face waking her up. She looked at him.

"Neji, how did you get in "she said?

"I stole your key "he said he took off his shirt because it was wet from the rain. Sakura stared at him.

"You need a change of clothes? "She said he smiled "No it was only my shirt that got wet "he said. Sakura leaned forward." So, what made you come back "she said he sat down and looked at her into her eyes. "You "and with that he began to kiss her passionately. She pulled back and laughed as his hands tickle her stomach. He smiled and kissed her again. Sakura decided to kiss him back with lust and hunger, Neji grab the bottom of Sakura's shirt and began to pull it up as her hands encircle around his neck and she kissed him.

"Move...you're...hands "he said in between kisses. Sakura shook her head to tease him she smiled. Neji smirked and leaned forward sitting on his knees, Sakura faced him still sitting up her legs were in the middle of his. She looked at him her hands supporting her weight behind her." Sakura move your hands "he said looking at her. She laughed and shook her head. "No Neji I wont "she teased. He moved closer to her. "What did you say?" he said moving closer to her. She giggled. "I said…." she began before Neji gave her another wonderful kiss that left her in shock." I said yes ". She said as he lifted up her shirt and threw to the side. Her body was tone and she had a gorgeous figure and he could tell that she worked out a lot. Neji began to stick on her neck as she moaned. Her hands roamed his body and seconds later both of them was discharged of their clothes and Neji entered Sakura keeping her quiet he kissed her and she sucked on his bottom lip. Once again they did what most couples do. Make love because they love and care for one another but, it's too bad they don't say it to each other.

Morning came around and Sakura woke up only to find Neji still sleeping. She slowly got out of his hold on her and walked over to the bathroom where she washed up and got dress putting on her usually outfit and she sat on the bed and began to put on her boots when she felt Neji' arms around her waist causing her to smile." Leaving so soon "he said." Yes…plus I thought you were sleeping "she said. He started to kiss on her neck and trace them up to her mouth the sheet covering the lower part of his body. "Neji…I have training…and you need rest you have a mission tonight "she said standing up. " It's just a mission that's all Sakura ""Neji all missions are dangerous weather you want to believe or not. "She said putting her weapons in the holder on her leg. " You calling me careless" He said. "Yes…besides I just found you and I don' want to lose you" she said kissing him than disappearing. He stood there loving her words and her. "Same for me "he said

Training was cancel because team seven had a meeting with Tsundade and she said to come fast because it was important. They sat down in chairs with Kakashi Sensei and Tsundade just looking at them like they did something wrong and bad and like they were wanted from the police. "Tsundade why did you call us just to look at us or something "said no other than Naruto. She threw a book at him. He moved and it hit Saskue who stared at Naruto like he was his prey. "Actually, you have a mission. Yes it is short notice but, these people came to me just before I summon you guys" She said. "What's the mission "said Sakura." A family to take them to the Mist village there are Missing ninja's after them." She said. Sakura looked confuse Neji had the same mission taking a family to the Mist village. "Is something wrong Sakura "she said?

"Me….no please continue "

"Good "

" Now the family…they are Royal and are taking a vacation in the Mist village I don't know why there are missing Ninja's after them they are not saying so just protect them and stay alive" she said. They all looked at each other, "ummm…..You forgot about the names Tsundade " Said Sakura. " I was getting to that. Now, the names… (She cleared her throat) Keiko Tomoko the mother, a queen of her village and town wants nothing more than to find love and happiness. Shou Tomoko her son a nice small kid who is learning the ways of a price. "She said. " This mission won't be easy so be careful and remember you are a team so make sure you have each other's back. Oh and don't pack a lot a backpack per person. This is an A rank mission so it's just you three everything rest in your hands" she added. Making them clear out her office.

"We leave in the morning so we should pack "said Sakura eying Naruto about last night, he laughed.

"I guess last late… was to teach me a lesson…huh? Sakura-Chan." he said

"NaRuTO!" she said madly about to attack him before he ran off. Saskue looked at her. Sakura turn to him.

"Me and Neji was just teaching Naruto a lesson" she said.

"So, you and Neji…thanks good "he said

"Saskue I saw you two talking so you really don't have to act surprise"

"Hn "he said feeling guilty.

"Thanks for what you said…thanks for everything" she said

"You welcome and remember when we on this mission don't let your feelings get in the way" he said walking off.

"Same for you "she said leaving.

Packing was easy Sakura packed some food, Weapons, Sleeping bag, and the papers that she needed on the family a long with a map just in case they forget and get lost. It was eight and she had to wake up earlier and Neji was leaving soon she had to say goodbye. Walking to his house she clear her thoughts knowing that the right word wasn't goodbye, it was never goodbye. Sakura knocked on the door and Neji appear.

"Sakura what are you…" he didn't get to finish she kiss his lips and he kiss back. " I didn't see you all day and I was wondering if I was before you left on your mission "she said a little sad.

"I'm sorry Sakura "he said hugging her. " I was just busy making sure I have everything" he said.

"I'm afraid for you Neji...I don't want you to get hurt" she said into his chest.

"I won't I promise really" He said. She looked at him." I….Have to go. Big day tomorrow" she said. For a minute he thought she was going to say I love you." Alright... goodbye "he said

"It's not goodbye it's see you later "she said.

Neji smirked "see you later "He said kissing her. She smiled and left. Neji looked at her walking away. That kiss felt different as Neji touch his lips

It felt like she was saying Goodbye
