Normal POV

Sunday flew by pretty fast, what with playing with Blossom and starting to compile some ideas for the Halloween ball. Sakura already had a list of possible DJ's, caterers, and a list of possible people to be the servers. She just wanted to have a few things thought out for when she and Hinata started planning this week. Sakura had a thousand things running through her mind this very early Monday morning while trying to get ready for work. Sakura hopped in the shower, did her thing, and hopped out.

Time to get dressed. She thought to herself.

Ever since the meeting where Sakura and Neji became friendlier, Sakura decided it was time for her to loosen up a bit, and stop dressing like a total prude. She pulled out a light green button up short sleeve top and slipped that on over a silver lace bra and matching silver under tank. She then pulled out a fitted black skirt that reached a couple inches past mid-thigh. Sakura slid the skirt up onto her hips over her black and silver panties.

This skirt shows off our hot rounded ass. Neji won't be able to keep his eyes off of us.

You're silly. But I do agree. This skirt really does compliment my figure. I wonder if Neji will even notice at all.

After Sakura finished getting dressed, she ran downstairs to find Blossom sitting in front of her food bowl.

"Are you hungry little one? Here I'll get you some food then I need to leave to make it to work on time. I know, I know, that means you will have to stay home today. But don't worry I'll leave the cartoons on for you." Sakura said while pouring some food into her bowl. Sakura placed the food back in the cabinet and went to find her shoes. Once she came back in the room she looked over to see that Blossom had already left the kitchen.

Hm that was quick. I wonder where she ran off to.

Sakura picked up her bag, not realizing it was slightly heavier than usual, and walked over to the TV to turn on cartoons for Blossom. Once everything was done, she was out the door walking to the bus stop.

Sakura POV

I arrived at the office around my normal time of 7:30 and walked into our new office. With the new merging, it was decided that Neji, Sasuke, Kimimaru, Juugo, and I all share one main huge office. I walked inside the double doors to find the room was pretty much already divided. Around the entire room were book shelves upon bookshelves waiting to be used. On the left side of the room towards the back is Neji's desk. Then my desk is also on the left but more towards the front of the room facing the right side of the room. On the right side is Sasuke's desk towards the back with Juugo and Kimimaru's desks towards the front lie mine but facing towards me.

Yuck! Now we are going to have to see his face all day every day.

Man this sucks, but at least now we will get to be closer to Neji. I thought to myself while walking towards my desk. I placed my bag down on the ground and turned my computer on. Neji and Sasuke walked in just a few moments later.

"Good morning Neji-san, Uchiha-san." I said smiling brightly.

"Morning, Sakura." Neji replied curtly. Neji's reply was friendly. Sasuke's, not so much.

"Hn."

What a total ass hole. Now I know how Kimimaru got a job working for him. They are so alike. I just want to slap them both.

Before I said anything to the pompous ass, I walked out to get Neji his morning coffee, and some for myself. I walked into the lounge and immediately bumped into someone.

"I am so sorry! I wasn't paying att-…. Oh! Hinata. Are you alright?" I asked once I noticed the violet haired girl in front of me.

Y-Yes Sakura-chan I am fine. Are you?" She asked shyly.

"Yes, yes I am fine. At least I didn't have Neji-san's coffee in hand already." I replied giggling. Hinata giggled a little herself. I walked over to the coffee machine and poured one cup for Neji and another for myself. Then turned back to Hinata.

"Hinata. Would you like to get together for lunch tomorrow to go over as much as we can for the ball?"

"That would be great." She replied.

"Okay. I'll ask Neji-san tomorrow if we can have a slightly longer lunch than usual to give us more time to plan." I gave her a smile and walked back to the office. I heard Hinata give a quiet reply in conformation then head off in her own direction as well. When I walked inside I noticed that Juugo and Kimimaru had also arrived. I walked straight to Neji's desk and sat down his coffee then walked back over to my desk. After I sat down I noticed my bag was lying on its side.

Hm that's strange. Whatever.

I told Neji his non-existent schedule for the day and set to work. Neji actually looked relieved to hear that he had no meetings.

Neji POV

I have been sitting here for two hours now, and it seems like this stack of files will never go down. All of a sudden I felt something sharp stab me in the leg and I jumped up out of my seat. I looked down at my pants leg and found a little white kitten hanging onto me.

What the hell?

I looked up to find the others all staring at me. Next thing I heard was Sakura getting up and coming over to me.

Damn she looks sexy today. Gah! Why does she have to be appealing now?

Sakura POV

I ran over to Neji after his sudden outburst. When I looked at his leg where he was looking I found Blossom attached to his leg.

"Oh Neji-san I am so sorry. That is my kitten. Oh how the hell did you get here?" I said while prying Blossom off of his leg. I picked her up and held her out in front of me. After a mental scolding I turned back to Neji. He was looking at me kind of funny.

"Neji-san I am so sorry. She must have snuck in my bag when I wasn't looking and then snuck out when I went to h=get your coffee. I will take her home now, since it is time for my lunch break." I said hoping he wasn't mad.

"It's fine Sakura. Just try not to let it happen again."

"I won't sir."

I turned around to go back to my desk to get my things and leave for lunch. Then entire time, all I heard was laughing. I glanced over my shoulder to see Kimimaru trying to hide his laughter. Before I was able to leave, the mail man came in saying he had an urgent letter for me. He handed it to me and walked out.

I put my stuff down on the floor and Blossom on my desk while I opened the letters. My eyes welled up with tears the more I read.

Mrs. Haruno

Due to some complaints, I am here by evicting you from the apartment complex. You will have 2 weeks to pack up everything and move out. Anything left after the 2 weeks will be sold. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Land Lord

"No. How could this be happening?" I hadn't realized I said that out loud until Neji came over with his hand on my shoulder.

"Sakura? What's wrong?" Neji asked fully concerned.

I turned to Neji. When I saw the concern written all over his face, I couldn't hold back the tears any longer. Right there in front of all of them I started to bawl my eyes out.

"This is a letter from my land lord. He says I have 2 weeks to get out of my apartment."

"What? Where are you going to go?" Neji asked.

"That's just it. I have nowhere else to go. I have no family here, or friends. God, why does this have to be happening?" I said crying even harder.

Neji POV

I couldn't stand seeing her cry like this. I can see all the hurt and fear running through her eyes. I don't know what compelled me to say the next thing, but I think it has something to do with the hard core crush that has been growing over this past year.

"Sakura. You may stay with me. Tomorrow after work, we will go to your place and pack up everything."

"N-Neji?" She is so pretty.

"Don't say anything. You are my assistant… and my friend. You can stay with me as long as you need. Actually, come. We will go now."

My heart seemed to flutter for a second when she gave me a smile. I have always loved her smile. I walked back over to my desk and got my things, then looked over at Sasuke.

"Uchiha. Sakura and I are taking the rest of the day off. We will return in the morning." I didn't even wait for his response. I grabbed Sakura's hand and walked out of the room. I took her bag from her, and was going to take the kitten but she insisted that the kitten was comforting right now. Once we made it down to the main floor we headed out to my silver MGF Extreme 500. Once inside I asked her where she lived and headed in that direction.

It took about 15 minutes, but we finally made it.

I can't believe she has been living here. It looks so old and run down. It will be good for her to come stay in my mansion with me, plus maybe I will get to know her a little bit more.

I followed Sakura inside, while also calling for a moving truck and men to help pack up all Sakura's belongings. We spent the rest of the packing all of her belongings. The movers got everything in their truck and followed me out to the Hyuuga compound. I live about 30 miles on the out skirts of town. Away from the noise and traffic. I truly enjoy all the peacefulness.

It took about an hour to get everything off the truck and set up into Sakura's new room. Then I left her to unpack and put everything where she wanted.

I feel so bad for her. She is so amazing and innocent. This stuff shouldn't be happening to her. It just isn't fair. Hopefully she will feel a little bit better in the morning.
