Chapter 7: Just One Of Those Things

" Oww,…Oh sorry Neji I guess I wasn't watching where I was going," Sakura said with a nervous smile as she rubbed her head and gazed up at the silver eyed genius.

" Where were you going in such a hurry?" Neji tilted his head to the side as her emerald eyes darted between him and the street barely visible over his shoulder. He shifted a little to gain her full attention.

" Oh, well, I was just…," she muttered as she attempted to get around him. She never really liked talking to Neji. His eyes seemed to look right through her and he usually scowled at her. Interestingly enough he now wore a smirk that would rival Sasuke's.

" You know, we haven't seen each other in soo long, Sakura. Would you like to have lunch with me?" he asked as she tried to avoid his prying stare.

" Uh you know what I made plans with Naruto and I really should just…"

" I'm sure he won't mind. Besides, you two are inseparable. Maybe you should take a break from seeing him. People are starting to talk about you two," he stated matter-of-factly and she stopped her struggle to get past him. Instead, she placed her hands on her hips and stared him in the eye.

" No one talks about us Neji and I wish you would stop talking like this to me. I have to go, I don't have time for lunch and I really don't feel like talking anymore," she said flatly, her eyes narrowed at him.

Neji simply chuckled.

" You know, I've also seen you with Kakashi. A little closer than normal too. I do recall one morning while I was training in the field near your house when I saw him sneak in. It had to have been at least 5 am. That's very strange for someone to see Sakura. I hope nothing is happening as I suspect it is."

His tone was somewhat threatening and Sakura was beginning to find he sounded almost like Sasuke had when he reprimanded her on her behavior.

" Neji, really, nothing is going on with anyone. I'm happily single. Now if you would be so kind," she hinted and he kindly stepped aside, allowing her to pass by. But before she could take a step forward, his fingers wrapped gently around her forearm. Her head turned till their eyes met and she noticed the grim scowl back in place.

" I worry about you Sakura. A girl like you could get hurt with so many men around. I just don't want to see anything happen to you. Please know that you can talk to me if you need to."

Sakura smiled as she noticed a glimmer of concern in his gaze. She had to say, out of all the men in Konoha she knew, she had always found Neji to be respectable and genuine. Creepy yes, but a good-hearted person.

" Thank you Neji, I appreciate it. I'll remember that," she said with a grin before his hand released his hold on her arm. He nodded at her as she smiled and took off at a light run. He wondered just how much of what she had told him was a lie.

" Oi, Sakura-chan, I was beginning to worry about you. You're 10 minutes late. What kept you?" Naruto asked as Sakura slipped onto the swiveling chair beside Naruto. His hand hovered over a steaming bowl of ramen and his chopsticks held a long curtain of noodles which he hurriedly slurped up.

Sakura took her time telling him about the past few days, about Sasuke. She refrained from going to in depth about Kakashi. She didn't feel like Naruto should know about their 'relationship' just yet. After all, how would he take it if he learned that his best friend and his sensai were seeing one another? She shuddered at the thought.

" And then I ran into Neji. That was just weird. It was like he was…hitting on me or something," she sighed as she nodded to the cook and took her chopsticks up to pick at the noodles in the bowl before her.

" Neji Hyuuga? No way! He hit on you? Man Sakura, you're like a guy magnet. First Sasuke, now Hyuuga. That's weird. Maybe you should lock yourself away." Sakura slugged him in the arm and Naruto hissed in pain before she smiled.

" Well, I suppose nothing has progressed with Hinata, since you're picking on me again…" she said with raised eyebrows, her mocking tone causing him to turn to her with a dour face.

" I'm getting around to it, geeze. Don't pick on me."

Sakura laughed briefly before digging into her food. The conversation was basic, the normal training and mission talks she enjoyed soo much with Naruto. He always seemed to have a different view of how missions went when they used to be a team.

" Naruto, you know that's a lie. You stretch the truth sooo bad. One of these days you're going get it and I'm going to just sit back and watch, laughing the whole time," Sakura stated as Naruto exaggerated for the billionth time about his amazing battle with Haku. She knew it was his favorite to tell because he had actually done quite well as his first real battle, and she praised him for it, even if she seemed to be mocking him.

" That's nice Sakura-chan. Next time you need Naruto Uzumaki, I'll make sure to be busy," he said with a pouted face and she let out a giggle before spinning the chair and hopping off.

" Anyways, I'm off. I have to get some shopping done before tonight. Maybe we can meet up for breakfast tomorrow?"

Naruto shook his head. Sakura cocked her head to the side and her eyes watched him as though he were an alien staring back at her.

" What do you mean 'No'? Oh I see, you're going to try and ask out Hinata for the buzzilionth time, aren't you. Naruto, when are you just going to do it and get it over with? She likes you and you know it. Gah, you are hopeless."

" Hey, one of these days I'll be Hokage and you'll regret teasing me when Hinata is my girlfriend," he boasted as he stuck his tongue out. She returned his look before they shared a laugh and went their separate ways. As Sakura walked down the street, she couldn't help the prying feeling that she was being watched. She turned a full circle in the street, trying to find the source of her uncomfort, but as she suspected, no one was there. Lately she had begun to get paranoid, especially in this part of Konoha.

As she walked down the abandoned street toward the market center, she began to grow more aware that maybe she really wasn't paranoid. She even believed she had seen a streak of green zip across the rooftops.

'Pftt that's ridiculous Sakura, think rationally for once. You're not called the smartest kunoichi for nothing, you know,' Inner Sakura said as she waved her hand around with carelessness. Sakura nodded her head. She knew for a fact that she was being followed. By whom, she wasn't too sure, but as the hairs on the nape of her neck rose, she reached toward her satchel.

" A little nervous today Sakura?"

Sakura turned a full circle, the shock of hearing a voice so near to her frightening her greatly. Someone was definitely following her and now they toyed with her like a mouse caught in a cage. She seriously disliked the fact she was cornered alone in an abandoned alleyway with some psycho.

" Who are you and what do you want with me?" she asked, her tone biting and cold. She tried to contain her fear, but as her hand reached into her satchel, her fingers trembled as they closed around a kunai. She might have been an ANBU Jonin, but she hated being caught unaware. And now here she was, standing soo vulnerable in such a closed space.

" Sakura, what are you afraid of?"

The voice was drifting nearer. She could feel breath on her neck and spun around to meet a wide smile plastered on a handsome face. She sighed and let relief wash over her tense features.

" Kakashi, it's not nice to sneak up on people like that you know. I could have killed you."

He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

" I doubt that. The way your hand was shaking, I bet you wouldn't have been able to hit me if I stood still right in front of you," he chuckled. Sakura pursed her lips, her head tilted as she watched his face settle into a gentle smile. She seemed to be thinking when he noticed her pout reside to a half frown.

" What's wrong Sakura?"

"…"

She looked over his features and smiled. She missed him. Since their last encounter, everything had changed and she didn't know if he regretted it. She had wished Sasuke hadn't come. She could feel the familiar tingle emanate through her skin as she felt his body warmth precisely. She couldn't help herself as she closed the space between them and wrapped her arms around his neck.

He seemed surprised, but if he thought her actions were uncomfortable, it didn't show. Instead, his hands inched over her skin and settle on her lower back, his fingers slipping under her shirt to caress her soft skin. She could feel shivers climb up her back as her eyes drifted closed and she leaned forward to feel his bare lips touch hers.

She didn't care that they were in the open street. She didn't care that two figures were moving towards them. All she felt was Kakashi's enticing kiss, his tongue roaming her opened mouth, his fingers plying against her smooth skin. She didn't realize that the figures approaching had stopped in shock, both had their mouths agape at the two locked in a passionate kiss. It wasn't till they broke apart did Sakura see the blonde fox boy over Kakashi's shoulder staring at her in alarm.

" Naruto." Sakura's face fell to shame as Kakashi turned to see his former student staring at the two with conviction written all over his face. Hinata stood beside him, the surprise on her face causing Sakura to look at her feet, not wanting to see the looks of disappointment on either's face. Somehow, she knew it was taboo all along.

oh snap! woot woot yeah some shit going down...DRAMA...thats all for now!
