Chapter 14: Back to Normal

The little talk Sasuke and Neji had consisted mostly of Neji threatening Sasuke not to hurt Hinata. Neji wasn't happy to have see them together and kissing. He thought that Hinata could do much better then Sasuke but she seem happy with him and that made it ok. Still he would keep and eye on Sasuke just incase. He didn't wanted to repeat what had happen with Naruto.

The next morning Hinata was relies from the hospital and they all went home. In the afternoon Ino came over with a little treat for Neji.

"Come on everyone's in the living room" said Sasuke after he open the door. Ino followed him into the living room were Hinata and Neji where.

"Hey Ino" said Hinata as she got up to hug her "What's that?" she asked looking at the white box Ino had in her hands.

"Oh this, it's just something I made for you guys" Ino said blushing a bit.

"You can place it on the coffee table" Ino place the box on the coffee table and opened it. Inside was a small white cake decorated with strawberries and pieces of chocolate. "I made it this morning"

"Oh you shouldn't have" said Hinata

"Don't worry, it was no big deal" said Ino. She laugh a little. Unconsciously she place her hands behind her back.

"Can we eat it?" asked Hinata not being able to resist the temptation of the chocolate pieces on the cake. Chocolate was the one thing she couldn't resist.

"Sure" said Ino. Hinata smile and stood up to get some plates. She came back in seconds.

"Do you want something to drink?" asked Hinata remembering that she hadn't offer her something to drink when she arrived.

"Sure"

Hinata went back to the kitchen but this time Sasuke followed after her. Ino cut into the cake and serve Hinata and Sasuke a piece. She then place a piece of cake in front of Neji.

"I don't eat cakes" he said and push it away in front of Ino.

Ino place looked at her cake and then at him. She gave him a weak smile and looked away. "Oh, I-I didn't know" she said softly. She looked down at her hands in her lap. "I could make you some cookies" she said.

"I don't eat sweets" Neji said and looked at her. Neji got up form his place and went over to her. He took her hand in his and looked at it. Her fingers were wrapped in small bandages. He stared to undo them but Ino pulled her hand quickly away. He took hold of her hand again and finished what he was doing. Her fingers tips were a bit red as if they were burn.

"What happen?" he asked

"I got cut working at the flower shop" she lied

"Don't lie to me. This are not cuts they are burns" he said. "You got burn making that damn cake, didn't you?" he stated.

Ino nodded her head. "I haven't baked anything before in my whole life "

"So why did you baked it?" he asked her and stared to wrap her hand again.

"I wanted to make you something special" She whispered. When he finish wrapping her hand again he place a kiss on it. Ino blushed a beep red.

"Don't do it ever again" he said. He took a sit beside her.

Hinata came back blushing with four drinks in her hands. Sasuke was right behind her grinning like a cat. Try took a sit and handed out the drinks. Hinata and Sasuke stared to eating their cake. Ino was about to eat the piece Neji didn't wanted but it was taken away form her. She looked up and it was Neji. He took a bite off it and she waited to see his reaction but there was none. He continue to eat it and that alone made her happy.

When they finished eating Ino offer to take the dishes to the kitchen. Neji followed her into the kitchen and waited for her to place the dished and in the sink. He then turn her around and kiss her. Ino was shock but when she recovered she wrapped her arms around him and stared to kiss him back. When he felt her respond he deepen the kiss making it more passionate.

After what seem like for ever they pulled away but only because they needed air. Neji however still didn't let her go.

"It was good" he said.

"The cake or the kiss" she asked mischievously.

"Both" said Neji smirking. Ino laugh a little.

She lean to kiss his lips again but at the last second she kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you" she said.

"Would you like to go out with me tomorrow?…Around 5:00 pm…" he asked her

"I would love too" Ino said and hugged him.

"So you understand what you have to do?" asked a woman with pink hair to the blond guy across from her.

"Yes Sakura" he said.

"Ok them Naruto here is the note" she handed him a note and left.

Naruto looked a the note in his hands. This little piece of paper would help separate Hinata and Sasuke. Then Sakura would have Sasuke and he would have Hinata. It wasn't that he wanted her. It was more like he needed her. She was from a powerful clan and if he wanted to be the future Hokage he needed to be marry to someone like her. She had money and influences, both of with he needed to ensure his future as Hokage. You see he was already a strong ninja but that alone wouldn't get his the Hokage position. He needed all three.
