Chapter Seven: Cheating On Me?
Sakura was looking through the window how little cops of snow hit the floor with grace in the Snow country where it's winter all the year, sometimes not that cold when it was summer but now it was winter so… yeah you could feel the icy weather reach your bones.
She sighed at the remembrance of that night…
: Flashback :
"Um… Neji, may I sleep here? The others are in the other tent and there's no more space… If you don't mind, may I?" Sakura asked shyly with a trace of pink on her cheeks that nobody noticed since they were at night.
Neji snapped his eyes wide open.
"A-Aa" He coughed.
Sakura got inside the sleeping bag that was next to him and closed her eyes.
"Good night Neji-kun" She yawned.
"…Good night" Sakura heard from his team-mate.
They still were a little far from the mission's spot but the weather was changing and they could feel the cool breeze blowing in the forest. Our cherry blossom was really tired but couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, her body shivered at the suddenly breeze that could sneak inside the tent the both of them were sharing. Neji shifted his position facing Sakura, he frowned and started to shiver, Sakura couldn't hide a tiny smile: he looked like a little boy trying to heat himself with the action of curl… It was lovely.
So she decided it. She approached her Neji, yes, her Neji, opened his sleeping bag and hers the necessary only to have a better reception of him. Sakura pulled Neji to her side and put his head on her chest near her collarbone and tried to cover the both of them with a thick blanket nearby. It was incredible that Hyuga Neji had a heavy sleep, he, a shinobi, an ANBU member of Konoha! Or maybe he was just tired of thinking those things we know he was thinking… that was probably the correct answer but Sakura didn't care to start a hypothesis she only wanted to share that night with the person she loved even if that night wouldn't repeat ever again.
The pink head closed her eyes and hugged the ANBU captain tighter. She heard a little noise from him; it was like a moan and a sigh together. She opened her eyes and saw a pleasant smile on him.
"I love you… Neji" She whispered at last and felt asleep.
: End Flashback :
"Isuzu" Saku-chan called her sister, now cousin.
"…Hmm?" Sakura got out of her thoughts and looked at her.
"Ritsu has sent a group to inspect the city but I know that it's not enough since I know this place like the palm of my hand" She looked at her palm and frowned. "Hey since when I had this little mole…"
Sakura sweat dropped.
"… Whatever… I'm not gonna stay here while the others are out doing their damn part of the mission! So, I'm leaving now to find that fucking snake" The Takeuchi stated looking to the amber eyes in front of her.
"But Tomoe that's dangerous, the snake could find you first and bite you and we don't want that… why don't just wait Sasuke to be secure?" The kunoichi of red hair scowled with a hint of preoccupation taking her sister's shoulders.
"Sak-Isuzu, it won't find me because he is looking for someone else and not mebesides, I don't want my lover-ehem- brother to be behind me like a little girl" Saku-chan pointed herself. Sakura opened her mouth to say something but Saku-chan did it for her.
"I will be careful, don't worry. I can defend myself; if I see something is getting damn suspicious I'll come back here." She smiled.
"Alright"
Sakura watched her sister put on her high heels leather boots, take a brown coat that covered her till the waist and at last put on a pair of green gloves that matched with her dyed hair.
"Ja ne, Isuzu-neechan" Saku-chan waved good bye.
"Ja"
Sakura looked through the window again. At least Saku-chan seems happy with Sasuke-kun… they're so lucky... She sighed.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Outside Saku-chan stopped in her tracks and turned around facing the door from she walked off.
"Blame me for my little patient, but I can't do anymore for you! You damn stupid love birds…" She whispered taking from one pocket a little notebook and a pen and wrote something in it… twice but with little differences.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In room 602 a tall young man was leaning in his bed looking at the ceiling with a frown… The mission at this point was truly important for the sake of the village and a foreign country that in general lines was the childhood country of the sister of the object of his affections… The object of his affections, his doom… why, why in the world a man like him, a prodigy, a skilful ninja, an ANBU member, part of the famous Hyuga clan couldn't do the things well in his love life… Love life… strange, he didn't know he had one after he met her. Yes, he was pathetic… a coward… even Uchiha was better than him! He sighed frustrated.
Suddenly something told him to look at the door, why? It wasn't special either, but… what's that? A piece of paper was at the bottom of it. Neji sat down in the bed and looked at the piece of paper like a green alien saying 'hi' to him. He activated the Byakugan… just in case. It was clean; it was only a piece of paper with blue ink in it. He stood up and approached the said paper.
"It hasn't sender… but looks like Sakura's handwriting" He said to himself since nobody was in the room.
He read it carefully.
He raised his eyebrows.
He shook his head.
To him it seemed germany a language he didn't even know it exists.
So he decided he didn't know how to read, so he tried again. It said:
Neji-kun,
I know this is an important mission for all of us and it wouldn't be coherent to do extra activities but I would feel flattered if you have a walk with me around the city. I'm sorry if with my request I bother you, that weren't my intention. Hope you meet me in the reception of the hotel at 6 p.m. If you are not there I will understand.
He was… dumbfounded for the first time in his entire life because Sakura, Haruno Sakura, one of his best friends was technically asking him out… HIM! That's supposed to be a hint… Did he know? Strange was that Sakura didn't know that…
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In room 601 a beautiful young woman was still watching the snow fall, lost in her thoughts sighing with no end. She decided it was enough and not healthy so she turned around pacing in the room imaging how would be a kiss… from Neji… She shook her head and lapped her now normal forehead for thinking such silly things.
Then out of nowhere she saw a piece of paper below the door. She approached it and noticed it hadn't sender but her name was in it and… wait, wasn't it Neji's handwriting?
She read it carefully.
She raised her eyebrows.
She shook her head.
To her it seemed germany a language she didn't even know it exists.
So she decided she didn't know how to read, so she tried again. It said:
Sakura,
I know this is an important mission for all of us and it wouldn't be coherent to do extra activities but I would feel flattered if you have a walk with me around the city. I'm sorry if with my request I bother you, that weren't my intention. Hope you meet me in the reception of the hotel at 6 p.m. If you are not there I will understand.
"Neji… is he asking me out?" Sakura asked to herself but unfortunately her inner self heard her and kicked one of her neurons, the 'realisation' one.
"Ouch! He is asking me out!" She changed the question for the statement at the pain inside her head.
The pink haired girl, now red haired, looked at the clock hanging on the wall, 5:50 she read.
"I'd better hurry up"
And like a hurricane Sakura run to the bathroom to brush her tooth, to brush her hair in a casual hairdo and to put a little make-up on, just to look not that excited.
Sakura breathed in and out to calm herself before put on her boots, coat and gloves. She glanced at the clock one more time, 5:57. Time to go! The cherry blossom exited her room and took the elevator. She really was nervous, too much for her taste but she was happy, at last Hyuga Neji asked her out! Strange was that Hyuga Neji didn't know that…

Saku-chan in Kawabura Tomoe's disguise walked like a sunshine in the city smirking all the way because of the attention she got from men in forms of whistles and glances of desire. Apparently she didn't lose her touch in men even disguised.
In the middle of the main street Saku-chan saw the bar she used to frequent when she lived there, it was famous because of the best drinks of pure quality and because it was a place where powerful people used to meet secretly from time to time. It was the perfect place to gather information if someone wanted to.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
They had been chatting in the bar more than an hour and drinking some sake and tequila. The two f them sober were having an interchange of body language between words.
She gracefully batted her eyelashes slowly to the handsome man next to her and also caressed one of his hands with her fingers. He by the other hand just smirked because with that was enough.
"So, you are interest in Orochimaru-sama" She smiled seductively.
"Yes. I want to be his apprentice no matter what it costs" He said the magic words almost whispering to her ear.
She was amused, he was dangerous and she could feel it.
"Oochimaru-sama's weak point is skilful ninjas with a potential to explode; I know he would love to have you by his side, maybe…" She trailed off.
The Uchiha got near never leaving the eye contact.
"Maybe…?" He said.
"Maybe you can help him with his new project" The pretty girl said tracing Sasuke's jaw with her index softly.
"Maybe" He smiled this time and the girl blushed madly.
God, Sasuke really hated this kind of missions. Trying to make a woman spit out some information always gave him a headache. Glance here, wink there, smile a little, brush your leg with hers, get near, whisper… That make him shudder but even though it was a piece of cake to seduce a woman, why? Because he was tall, well-formed, good looking-well, more than good looking young man, nor even Hyuga could match his beauty; he laughed mentally at the picture of Hyuga Neji crying alone in a corner while he laughs loud and hard wearing a crown, and a banner above his head that says: 'MISTER KONOHA CONTEST'S WINNER'
Who had ever thought that Uchiha Sasuke, the Uchiha avenger would have such a rich imagination?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Saku-chan entered in the popular bar cleaning her coat of the falling snow. She scanned the place.
She blinked twice.
She rubbed her eyes, maybe the contact lens were making her to hallucinate.
She pinched her left arm. Nope, that wasn't a hallucination.
There was Sasuke, her Uchiha! Her boyfriend, her man, hers, hers, hers, only hers with a woman in a dangerous proximity smiling to each other!
Is he cheating on me? She frowned and felt her blood rush to her head at a hundred degrees. A bad sign…
She breathed deeper, straightened her long green hair, put the best of her smiles and approached the bar where they were sitting and flirting. Flirting!

In the hotel where the shinobi's of Konaha were staying there was another story.
Neji was sitting in a couch of the reception waiting patiently a certain girl named after a flower. His eyes closed like meditating calming in that way his anxiety and nervousness.
"Neji-kun" A girly voice called.
"The Byakugan user opened his eyes and stood up in front of her.
"Sakura, shall we go?" Neji smiled and politely offered his arm to Sakura.
Always when he was around her was easy to smile in that way… She had that power over him, but she didn't know.
Sakura tinted her cheeks with a trace of pink, smiled and took Neji's arm.
They went out the hotel and start walking with no direction in a peaceful silence felling comfortable with each others company.
"So, where are we going?" Sakura asked playing with her red extensions.
"Your choice" He said plainly.
Sakura giggled at his answer, she might expect this from him.
"I saw a freeze lake used like a skating rink from the train, is not that far from here I guess"
"Ice skating?" Neji curved a brow.
"Yeah, it would be fun!"
Neji sighed. "I don't know how to skate" He said bluntly.
"Then I will teach you, come on!"
And Sakura dragged Neji to the said lake forgetting why she was so nervous. Neji just tensed his body at the thought of ice, ice-skates and possible falls that could embarrass him for life ruining his reputation.

Welcome to the bar of the hell, where my boyfriend is cheating on me! Who is that bitch…Oh you are soooo dead already.
That and other thoughts behind the façade of the sweetest girl in the world asked for blood.
Sasuke felt a cold wave that run in his spine and that wasn't a good sign. A blood thirsty aura?
He tried to ignore it but couldn't since it felt too close. Where?
"What a surprise Haru-oniichan!"
Saku-chan was in front of both Sasuke and the witch-bitch-err… girl! That's it, the girl!
The Sharingan user turned to his left side slowly and saw fiery eyes glaring daggers to them. Shit!
"I thought I told you to say in the hotel" He groaned.
"My, my, aniki but we are on vacations" Saku-chan said matter-of-factly, she looked to at the girl "So, who is your girl friend?" Bitch die, die, die, die! If glares could kill…
Stupid. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Sasuke narrowed his eyes to his little sister.
"I'm Masato Kagura, nice to meet you..." Kagura vowed slightly.
"… Kawabura Tomoe; I love your name!" A loser name!
"Arigato" kagura giggled. "We were talking a good time and you never told me you have a little sister Haru-kun" Kagura took Sasuke's hand when she said it.
One of Saku-chan eyebrows started to twitched dramatically and at this she fakes more her smile at her. Nobody can touch him you, you… Arrrgggghhh! She was going to explode in any moment.
Sasuke looked at her blood thirsty girlfriend and smirked for a moment. Hn, she is jealous. Then he coughed to get her attention. Bad move, she wanted to kill him right there, right now in a really painful way…
"We'd better go" He said expressionless taking Saku-chan from her forearm. He looked at Kagura and vowed.
"See you in the meeting Haru-kun, I'll be waiting for you. Bye Tomoe-san" Kagura showed respect vowing too.
Sasuke nodded at her words gaining another sharp dagger from one of the glares of her dearest sister.
"Good bye!" Saku-chan sang. "…bitch" She whispered.
The left the bar and when they were far away from it Sasuke prepared his ears.
1.
2.
3.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Saku-chan struggled from his grip and screamed the loudest she could.
Sasuke smirked making Saku-chan turned red of anger.
Saku-chan breathed deeper one, two times.
"Ok, ok, then I leave you. It's over, kaput! Sayonara" A with a fake smirked she left him in the spot kind of surprise.
Sasuke took her hand and pull her to his chest. "Nobody leaves me"
She raised a brow in a yeah-sure-watch-me way. "I am nobody and I'm gonna leave you, if that is not okay with you, you should thought it before cheating on me with that bitch" She was hurt and Sasuke knew that from the hate in her eyes, she was pretty hurt.
Sasuke leaned close almost touching her lips with his "You want to leave me?" He whispered. Saku-chan shivered at the sensation of his breath on her mouth.
She gulped. "Y-yes"
Sasuke smirked. "You were jealous"
The green haired opened her mouth to answer but Sasuke took advantage and kissed her not too hard, not too soft, exploring her mouth like other moments, feeling her agony of been betray by somebody. Bittersweet, that described her taste. He loved it.
He broke the kiss he started and rest his forehead over hers.
"Kagura-" He started but Saku-chan struggled again leaving the trance of the kiss at hear the name. The Uchiha tightened the grab on her waist. "She is an apprentice of the snake" At this the Snow country's flower stopped.
"So, you were gathering information? That's it?" She looked straight in his now blue eyes almost whispering the words kind of relieved.
"Aa"
"You weren't cheating on me?" She asked just to be sure.
Sasuke smirked and kissed her forehead. "Hn, who would?" Saku-chan freed a sigh and smiled a real smile.

"Ok, Neji, now just slide your right feet and then the left…" Sakura instructed holding the hands of the Hyuga prodigy on the ice rink.
Fortunately near the rink was a sport accessories store so they bought a pair of ice-skates.
"Sakura, I don't feel comfortable" He said with a blank expression.
"But you're doing it very well! Don't be such a baby" Sakura said joyfully.
"……" Neji just glared at her.
CR-CRAAAAAACK!
SPLAAAAASH!
"N-Neji!" Sakura screamed trying to float in the freeze water.
