Still don't own Naruto
"Four hours, how the hell do they expect me to sit here and do absolutely nothing for four hours? I mean really, there must be something I can do to waste time."
'You could continue talking to yourself like a total nut'
"Great, inner me is back."
I was almost positive that I had gotten rid of it, but it had a point. I was talking to myself like a total nut job. I suppose I could be a little nutty.
Being nutty sure would explain a lot of things.
After contemplating where to go for a bit, I decided I should head to the edge of town and get the caravan that would be holding food ready. It was slightly windy so I pinned the flower that was tucked in my hair.
It didn't take me long to get there, and when I did, there was a surprise waiting for me.
Neji Hyuuga.
"You are here early Miss Haruno." His eyes were closed, and there was a slight smile on his face. I noted the smile fit him quite nicely.
"Miss Haruno?" His eyes opened and I felt extremely silly for staring, I just looked down and kicked my foot.
"Is something wrong?" He actually looked concerned, this was not a look I was used to seeing on Neji.
"I saw Yumi this morning while I was watching the sun rise…"
"She say anything semi intelligent?" He smirked.
'Oh, his smirk is like Sasuke's!' 'Okay Sakura, now is not the time.' 'Should I tell him?' 'Would he believe me?' 'Would he break up with her?' 'Would you care?'
"Well…?"
"Not a word but gibberish."
"Hn"
I sighed, and he gave me a weird look. He wouldn't have believed me anyway, I am just a lunatic girl who is good with medical things, according to the town.
"That is a lovely flower in your hair, Miss Haruno"
"Thank you, but what is with all this 'Miss Haruno?' Please, just call me Sakura like usual."
"Gomen Miss Har… I mean Sakura. So how are you and Dog Boy?"
'Did he just scowl?'
"Not so good, he broke it off last night…"
I stared at my feet, what an awkward question.
"Ah, I thought as much. I saw Naruto yelling at him last night… We saw you drinking."
"I'm not usually like that… I promise it was ju-"
"Don't worry, I know you have a lot on you mind."
In that moment, I could not take my eyes away from Hyuuga Neji.
"Sakura-chan! The old lady said it is time to head off!" There was Naruto, running with Hinata in tow, luggage flying behind.
I sighed, now the part I liked about Naruto and Hinata dating. She was the one who kept him in line, she probably had to check his luggage three or four times.
"And don't worry, I brought some things to 'spice' this trip up"
I knew that smirk, he brought some sake, what a loser. Hinata hit Naruto on the back of the head. We all stared, I mean, that was Hinata!
"Well, I t-told him not to bring it…"
"Hinata-sama, you sure have been hanging around Naruto-kun a lot lately."
I decided it was better he didn't find out so soon.
"Well, is everyone packed and ready to head out? We have the caravan all strapped in, and we need two people in and out of the caravan at all times. Who wants first dibs on walking?"
"Hinata and I will!"
Naruto gave a smile that could rival Lee's.
"Well that isn't creepy at all."
Neji smiled, I smiled inwardly, knowing that was a privilege.
"Well, Captain, shall we take our place in the caravan?"
The emphasis he had put on 'captain' irked me.
"You're just jealous because you aren't the leader of this mission!"
"Me? Jealous of you? Unlikely!"
"You so are!"
"P-please calm down! Don't f-fight…"
Poor Hinata…
"I'm sorry Hinata-sama, the Captain and I were out of line…."
He went and put the emphasis on captain again…
I sighed, and did the only thing I could that suited the situation, I laughed.
I put my face inches from his and decided to play with him a little.
"Now Neji-kun, we don't want to disappoint Miss Hinata, do we? Now let's get in the caravan and… Have a little fun?"
I winked and smiled as flirtatiously as I could, and headed into the caravan, leaving a bright red Neji, a laughing Naruto, and a shocked Hinata.
"I think I got you pretty good"
I watched Neji scowl as he walked into the caravan.
"You got me?" He smirked, "This means I can get you back."
"And how do you plan on doing tha-"
I felt Neji's hand over my mouth, and watched him shut the curtain that let the light into the caravan. He let go of my mouth and pinned me to the wall. His mouth was practically touching my ear.
"You think you are the only one who can play dirty Captain?"
He bit my ear slightly leaving me stunned, but backed off quickly.
"Tell me Sakura, are you still convinced you are in love with Uchiha, what Yumi gossips about, is it true?"
"I… Are you really going to marry that bitch?"
"Hn"
"Way to answer"
"You are one to talk, but you do, don't you… You still love that bastard… He isn't coming back for you."
I couldn't help it. I started crying. I was really glad he shut the curtain.
"You don't understand, I love him, he is my life, and whether he comes back or not, I will wait for him."
I could hear him sigh in the dark.
"Don't cry… Please"
All of a sudden I felt his arms around me, it was more awkward then anything, I suppose he had never comforted anyone before.
"Don't worry about Uchiha... He isn't here now, and he isn't important. To leave you behind, he had to be pretty foolish."
I snuggled into his chest, which was very nice I noted. In the darkness, I quickly fell asleep…
"Ah, back again Sakura."
"Sasuke…"
"Aw, the little weakling can't even talk."
"I am not a weakling…"
"Then let me show you how weak you really are!"
I watched him unsheathe his sword.
"Sasuke"
That voice wasn't one familiar in my dreams, because Sasuke only appeared in my dreams.
"You lay a hand on her, and I swear I will kill you."
That voice, it was Neji!
"Neji-kun….?"
"Sakura! Wake up! It is our turn to outside and walk with the caravan."
I finally came to enough to get outside, it was already dark and Naruto and Hinata had made good progress.
I heard Neji sigh.
"You had a dream about him, didn't you?"
It really wasn't much of a question.
"When do I not, it was just like all the other ones, he comes, calls me weak and attempts to kill me."
I looked up at him, he had a puzzled look on his face.
"What is it like to care about someone that much?"
I was startled by this, Neji must really be having an off day, first the thing in the caravan and now this.
"It is like feeling nothing else in the world matters, and you just want to be with that person all the time."
"Is it a good feeling?"
I noticed he was still walking with his head down, though his head was usually held high.
"Only the best feeling in the world, and the worst."
"Hn"
"But Neji?"
His composure had returned to normal and he smirked a bit.
"Yes?
"How did you know I dreamed about him?"
"While you were asleep, you said his name…"
"Oh, It is only to be expec-"
"And you also said mine."
Yea, it is pretty much 2 in the morning...
I'm outtie for awhile, I might add more on if I get comments, but who knows!
