A/N: Omg... Guess who's still alive? Yeah, sorry about all the wait, but if people had read my profile, they would know why I didn't update. Well, I'll update with a chapter four when I have a total of thirty reviews or more, most preferably more mind you.

A New Home Can Help

As I walked home, I noticed it hadn't stopped raining. Since I didn't want to go home alone and depressed, I decided to go see Hinata and try and see if I could make a friend out of her. Although I was in just a jacket without any other type of shelter, I changed my direction of travel.

I walked slowly, if I didn't know any better, I would think I was standing still with a faraway look. Which I probably was since Hinata came up to me, with a bag full of groceries in one hand and an open umbrella in the other.

"Ms. Sakura! You'll catch a cold!! Please, come inside. I'll make you some tea." At hearing her kind words, I wondered why I had never spoken with her before, Hinata has been everything but mean to me whenever I visited Ino, so why did I never notice her? "No, no, it's ok! I don't want to cause you any trouble!" I replied, not really wanting to leave, but not really wanting to sound rude at all by intruding like I was going to. "Nonsense Ms. Sakura! You are no trouble at all! Please do come in!"

As I went into the apartments, I stopped dead in my tracks.

Did she...?

I think she...

She didn't...

"Hinata!" I screamed, looking at her in astonishment, scaring the crap out of her for probably the hundredth time today. "Ye-yes Mi-miss Sakura?" "You didn't stutter while we were outside!" I said optimistically, trying to see if she would do it again more often. Sadly, all she did was blush as a small 'Eek' left her mouth.

As I sighed, Hinata lead the way up the stairs with her head held down, and a blush probably adorning her face. When we turned the corner towards her apartment door, I saw the most unlikely person I thought I would see.


'You got to be shitting me...'

There, right outside Hinata's apartment door was the one and only Hyuuga Neji, one of the top ten hottest models and actors in the world.

"Lady Hinata, I have been waiting for you." he spoke, his voice deep and sensual, or was the latter my imagination? Could be, I'm not all too sure with myself today.

"Neji! I'm sor-sorry! Were you waiting f-fo-for long? Oh you should have to-told me you were visiting! I wou-wouldn't have left for so long!" Hinata ran up to him, with bag in hand as she fussed over the Hyuuga Neji like a mother would her child.

I couldn't believe my eyes, shy little Hinata knew one of the hottest guys to ever exist. And not one of those 'I saw him on the tube and stalk him everyday.' knew. This was a serious 'I've known you since childhood and we probably bathed together in a river as kids.' knew.

As I was deep in thinking, wondering how the two knew each other, I noticed Neji was talking to Hinata in whispers. All I could make out were words like '...worry...surprise visit...Naruto...rabid fan girls...toothpaste...' Which I actually somewhat understood, well, everything other than the toothpaste part.

Wait...

...Did he just say 'Naruto'?

"You know a guy by the name of Uzumaki Naruto?" At this, Neji looked at me funny, as if I hadn't gotten those enough today to last me a lifetime, as if finally noticing someone other than Hinata was here.

"Yes, I know him... Are you Lady Hinata's roommate Yamanaka Ino?" he asked hesitantly, as if i was an everyday fan girl that was about ready to pounce on him, which I would any other day given the opportunity, but today wasn't much of a good day.

"Actually Ne-neji, this is Ino's best friend, Ms. Haruno Sakura. I was going to tell you the other day that Ino had left to find her true love, bu-but you had hu-hung up on me be-be-before I could." was all that was said as Hinata opened the door and we all went in.

"Lady Hinata, you know the only reason your father let you come here for college was because you said you would be living with a responsible roommate, which I have yet to see."

"Well! You see Mr. Hyuuga!" I somewhat shouted hurriedly, not wanting Hinata to get in trouble with him. As Neji turned to look at me with an irritated look, I continued my babbling, "I actually came because Ino was worried about Hinata, and well, since I don't have a roommate and all, Ino said I should come live with Hinata while she was gone."

Hinata looked at me, both stunned at my 'little white lie' and grateful for helping her out.

Neji, on the other hand, was an emotionless face. I seriously couldn't tell what the hell he was thinking.

"Hn, very well, I'll still have to tell uncle about this though. So be ready for a phone call from him in the near future." then he opened the door and left, not even saying a quick good-by to Hinata.

A minute of silence after he left, I finally remembered he didn't tell me where he knew Naruto from.

"Gosh damnit! That polite bastard didn't even tell me about Naruto..." I semi-yelled, semi-sighed. "I'm sor-sorry Ms. Saku-Sakura, Neji see-seems to be stressed about so-something. He isn't alw-always like this." "No, it's ok Hinata. I'm sorry for lying to him, I didn't mean to cause you trouble."

"Lik-like I've said bef-before, you do-don't cause an-any trou-trou-trouble." She smiled at me, and you know what? The smile suited her, my supposedly new roommate.

"Wou-would you like to spend the night? It's alre-already near-nearing midnight." she asked. "Sure, that would be nice. Thanks Hinata!" I smiled back.

As I got ready to sleep in Ino's old room, any thoughts on Naruto, Haku, and Lee were on stand-by. The only coherent thought that went through my brain as I left the conscious world was...

Yeah, I guess, this day isn't so horrible anymore.'

A/N: All my chapter endings look the same... Well, I hope you review. Remember, 30 review or no update! And this will be NaruSaku, if you want to see another pairing here, all you have to do is review and tell me so. I might even consider it and add it into the story somehow. The only definite pairing is the main pairing, so you can even ask for a pairing containing Hinata, Ino, Lee, or Neji. I accept straight, yaoi, and yuri pairings so don't be shy.
