Lovers Quarrel

Evil Plan 2

Sakura woke up to the bright sun spreading it's rays onto her face. She squinted her eyes and searched for her alarm, after knowing it was time to get ready for school, she woke up and worked her way to the bathroom. In the bathroom, she saw Naruto behind her waiting for her to finish brushing her teeth, and rolling his eyes at her. She glared at the mirror so Naruto could see it, Mimuru witnessed this and just shook her head in disappointment. After everyone got their turn at the bathroom and was prepared, they headed to school. The walk was very silent until Ino appeared when they got close to school and latched onto Naruto's arm. Sakura just growled under her breath, 'What a long morning it wil be.'

The morning was long, all right, it dragged on through the first two periods, at least that's how it felt to a miserable Sakura watching Naruto smile sheepishly to Ino who giggled at every lame joke he made. That wasn't the last of her worries, Sakura had a project due for her last period which she was supposed to work on yesterday night but ended up sleeping. Thanks to that fatal mistake, she needed to spend her lunch at the library finishing up her work.


At lunch, Sakura dragged her self to the door of her library and entered resentfully. The library was pretty big for a school library, they had everything. Computers, every kind of book possible and room far enough so you can sit in peace and read or just work on your homework away from other people. There was windows at the very top of the walls letting light through and onto the calming room. Sakura, though didn't feel like being calm or happy. She dropped herself onto a chair and took her work out. Sighing in frustration she stared at it for a very long time. What she didn't know was that someone was staring at her.

The person staring at her was debating with himself on whether he should go talk to her or not. After tons of arguments later, he didn't think it was worth it and went back to his book. A click was heard on the floor beside him and he peered down to see a pen, looking around he figured it was Sakura's. 'Great, an excuse to talk to her.' He smirked and slid towards Sakura and placed the pen on the table in the view of Sakura.

Sakura glared at the stranger's hand and followed the hand up to a very handsome face. His mouth was in a very seductive smile while his clear eyes seemed very devilish. His long dark brown cascaded down his back and was in a low ponytail.

He raised his eyebrow at her stare but more to her mess around her. She smiled sheepishly and pointed to the bristol board which said history in big letters. Nodding his head in understanding, he grabbed a seat beside and set his book down.

"Need any help with that?" He politely offered.

"You know what to do?" Sakura asked, a little shocked.

"Ya, I did this last year, and did pretty good on it too." He wrote down something and was deep in thought.

"Well, Thanks... uh..." Sakura stuttered out.

"Neji Hyuuga, nice to meet you..."

"Oh, I'm Sakura Haruno, nice to meet you too, Hyuuga-san." Sakura introduced.

"Please, call me Neji. I have a cousin that's a year younger than me, saying Hyuuga confuses people."

"Ok, Neji. What are we supposed to do?" Sakura had a sudden turn in her stomach. She did know Neji by his face, Sakura is pretty good friends with Hinata. She never talked to Neji though, probably because he was so popular and his fan girls might kill her.

After that sentence, he showed Sakura what to do and they both began to work on her history project.. Many times did they accidentally brush hands or find that the other was staring, also their shoulders would bump as Neji leaned towards Sakura for something. Sakura through this tried to hide a slight blush which was failing since Neji could see it. Neji would have a small smirk at this and purposely try to get closer. (FLIRT!! ... cuz we all know Neji in AU without curse seal is a complete player...)

"Yes, we finally finished it. Thanks for helping me Neji." Sakura grinned at their beautiful hard work.

"No problem, glad to be of help... Sakura-chan." Neji coolly replied.

Sakura fumbled with her fingers, a typical Hinata move which Neji knew that his cousin did when she was nervous or embarrassed.

"So... Sakura-chan, if you are free after classes, want to go get something to eat?"Neji proposed.

"Ya, sure."

With that, Sakura had a date with one of the three most dreamiest boys in the school. The other two being Sasuke and Naruto. She clenched her books close to her heart and traced her steps back to her locker.


School ended, Sakura said her byes to Naruto and Mimuru. Mimuru thought she was different, a little happy, in her mind she knew Sakura must have a date with Neji. 'O the power of blackmail, thank you Neji-kun.' As for Naruto, he was just talking to Ino but did feel a little sad at seeing Sakura smiling so big and not knowing why.

Sakura quickly rushed to the front door to find Neji leaning against a pole with his hair blowing in the end. Sakura's heart skipped a beat as she slowly proceeded to Neji. Neji saw the pink hair from the corner of his eye. Sakura eyes locked on to Neji's and they both smiled and made their way to his car.

The comfortable silence was interrupted by small talk about the project and where to eat. Sakura asked to eat at the cake shop near the train station and Neji agreed that it was a suitable place.

Making their way into a small yet cozy looking store with cute ornaments inside. The store seemed old and was a small bakery shop with many cakes and pastries on display. An old fragile lady was working the counter and many teenagers and children filled the place with their loud laughter. Sakura beamed at the appearance of a strawberry cake. She payed for the cake and sat opposite of Neji and his coffee.

Neji noticed many of the girls in the store was staring at him but he didn't care. His mission right now was to be with Sakura, to flirt with her and steal her heart, but this is Neji. Neji has gotten many girls, it shouldn't be hard to get Sakura's. That was what Neji at first thought but in his mind...'This Sakura is a lot like Ino, and I had to spend a month with Ino till she said yes to me. If it's going to be this hard, how the hell I supposed to woo her before the festival. No Neji, you can't think like that. Snap out of it, pay attention to her.'

Neji watched Sakura's beaming face as she ate the cake, and he snickered at the sight of a little cream on her cheek. Sakura completely oblivious just kept on eating. He couldn't stand it and took the cream from her cheek onto his finger and ate it. Sakura stood unmoving and blushed, looking down at her cake she kept fidgeting.

"Um... Do you want some?" She asked

She looked up to see him nodding his head and opening his mouth. She pushed the plate closer to him but all he did was point to her spoon and his mouth. Shy as she was, she still did it and when she held the spoon up to his mouth, he brought her hand and the cake piece into his mouth. After that slightly embarrassing for Sakura and amusing for Neji show had happened. They conversed and finished their meal. They both existed the shop and went into the car.

After about ten minutes, Neji decided it was time to bring up the concert. 'Hm... Sakura, there is a concert in like an hour, wanna come? Ha, isn't that supposed to be too short notice...?'

He gazed over at her as she observed the outside. He coughed to get her attention and began, "Sakura, I know it's really short notice and that you won't want to come, but there is a concert tonight. It's at 6 and I was hoping you could come with me. I don't mind if you say no, it's just..." He didn't have to say anymore for Sakura had said yes and they both quietly drove to her house. He dropped her off and told he would come by in forty-five minutes.

As there conversation was going, Naruto inspected the new boy outside his house with Sakura. He sent the new boy a glare which was seen by the boy and not by Sakura. All the boy did in response was glare and smirk right back at him. 'So this is why she seemed so cheery after school. She had a date with that girly-boy over there. Sakura... I thought your taste was better than that. I mean he has hair longer and silkier than yours! Man, I seriously want to punch that smirk off his face.' Naruto thought.

Neji figured that was Naruto in the window and decided to tease the poor guy by twirling Sakura's hair in one hand and holding her back with his other. Sakura's brain wasn't functioning even when Neji tightly embraced her and kissed her on the cheek and said bye. The brain still didn't function when he left and only began to work after two minutes. Redden like mad, she walked into her house to see a father-looking Naruto questioning her with his eyes. She ignored his overprotective mode and went to her to get ready.

'That.. that... he... just... O my god!' Naruto yelled inside his brain as he saw what the "girly-boy" was doing with his Sakura. O wait, I mean his "friend" Sakura. He calmed himself down as he saw Sakura come inside. He just stood there awaiting an explanation but didn't receive any. Sakura instead just walked away into her room. Naruto gazed at the clock and figured he should ignore this until tomorrow, then track this new guy and kick his butt. As he was getting ready, the image kept replaying in his head even if he tried to shake it away. He focused on looking good on his date with Ino. After getting ready he peeked through a tiny hole into Sakura's room, not trying to be a pervert and saw she was doing her hair and seemed to be wearing her new clothes. 'Why would Sakura be getting ready for? Didn't she just come back from her date? She isn't going for another one, at least I think. She must be hanging with her friends. Ya, that's the reason.' He assured himself.


Thirty minutes after Sakura entered the house and Naruto made his observations on what happened, Naruto had finally left to go pick up Ino and head to the concert early. Neji eventually came and picked up Sakura who wore a pink sweater with a beige jacket on top, that matched nicely with her skin fitting jeans and rocking white converse. Neji wore a plain brown shirt and blue baggy jeans and was still looking as sexy as usual. Sakura kind of got lost in thought about how he could wear something so simple yet look so irresistible.

In the car, Neji checked out his date for the day, 'Damn, if she was a little less shy, she could even be better than Ino... Neji! Get a grip!' Neji scolded himself and whispered, "You look beautiful, Sakura." He saw her tilt her head down and mutter a thanks and you look nice too. He forced a smile at her and went on talking about the concert and who they were going to watch. Sakura was not paying attention but was thinking she was forgetting something very important. Something she had heard yesterday but it kept slipping her mind.

When they finally made it into the concert parking lot, Neji got out and opened Sakura's door for her and saw she was gripping his car seat. She seemed a little afraid of something. He scanned around for any suspicious looking people, but could not find any. Frowning at her lack of movement, he decided to lean on his car and wait till she was ready.

'What's this feeling? I feel like I really don't want to get out of this car...'Sakura was getting chills and finally got the courage to leave the car and followed Neji into the big theatre. Taking a deep breath she took the loud and exciting atmosphere in. Neji and her made their way to their seats until Sakura stopped because she was sure she saw two familiar heads of two familiar blonds.


dun dun dun ITS NEJI-KUN Yes. I decided I would like NejiIno and that they would be the troublemakers. The end about the car actualyl happened to me. I was having a bad week and didn't want to see any one I knew. It was a week off from school. My mom and me went to watch a movie and in the car I thought that and when I went inside I saw too many people I knew. I was mad later. LOL Now don't stop reading just cuz NejiIno is what you don't like since they don't even have moments in this story.
