Neji's POV

I walk in the park, hoping to forget about my problems. …with no luck whatsoever.

I still had to find a date, or my fan girls would come back….which would be a NIGHTMARE.

"Hey! Let me go!" I hear a familiar voice.

I turn my head to see a pink haired beauty with a red head and a blonde haired guy.

Those two…they're familiar too…I remember, Sasori and Deidara. Older than me and Sakura.

"Hey let go!" Sakura yells at them.

They were pulling Sakura's arm.

"Don't worry sweetheart, we only want you're money." Sasori says.

Without further planning, I walk up to them, hands in my pocket.

"hey, why don't you let her go, eh?" I say.

"neji!"Sakura grins.

"Oh, looks like we got trouble, un."Deidara snickers.

"We'll give you a chance punk, leave and pretend nothing happened." Sasori smirks.

"Maybe you didn't hear me clearly, I said let her go." I glare.

"All right punk, you asked for it." They say, charging towards me.

About fifteen minutes later, those two are walking back home, but of course, I'm injured too.

I cough out some blood, but I still manage to stand up.

"Neji!" Sakura runs towards me."Are you ok?' She asks.

"Fine." I mutter, but then cough some more.

"Come on, sit down." she says, setting me down on a bench.

"I'm perfectly fine.' I say.

"You need to stop acting tough, me and you both know that's not the truth."Sakura says, while she wraps a bandage around my injured arm.

"I'm really fine, Haruno.'I mutter, not giving in.

"Drop the act, Hyuuga." She snaps,

His time I keep silent.

She dabs a alcohol cotton ball on my arm ."Ugh.' I hold my arm, trying my best to resist the pain, trust me, Sakura didn't need another problem.

She still noticed." It's going to be hurtful, it's no way it won't hurt. But I'll try to do it lightly, just don't struggle." She says softly.

"And…thanks."She says, smiling at me.

"huh?"

"You saved me, didn't you?"

"I was just…those two….they were blocking my way." I mutter, not looking at Sakura.

Sakura then giggles.

"Thanks….." I say this ime.

"Why?"

"My arm feels a lot better…" I say, my cheeks going red, I'm not used to saying thanks , or admitting my injury did hurt.

"No problem." She smiles at me warmly.

Which makes me smirk.

"Hn." I say.

"You know, you and Sasuke have a lot in common."She say.

"Am I emo?"I ask, remembering Sasuke.

Sakura laughs, and then she sakes her head.

"Nope." She answers.

I start lifting myself up and walking away.

"You're going already?" She asks.

"Yeah, have to, or Hiashi will be mad." I answer, thinking about Hiashi mad just makes me frown.

"Oh…Hey, Neji. Could you give Hinata this?" She hands over a notebook.

"She left this at school." She continues

"Oh, ok. I'll give this to her. Thanks again, Neji." She smiles, waves and runs away.

Sakura Haruno…the girl I know who will haunt me in my meditations now …not that I'm complaining.
