Okay, So there will be one more chapter, and since I'm on a roll, it should be either coming out tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Thank you for all your reviews. I've enjoyed writing this story.

Un-beta'd, sorry

edit: A.W. sent me a little message, I made those corrections! Thanks for the help.

Neji was furious. As pleased as he was to come home safe and not hurt from his mission, to find his lovely Sakura at his home, he was displeased on how some of his family had been treating her. Watching from the roof, he saw Chiyoko and her little tricks with the fan, to the naked eye it seemed as though she was throwing the fan perfectly, she had been tipping it more and more so that Sakura wouldn't be able to catch it, forcing her to drop it or even more dangerous, to catch it wrong and hurt herself.

He wasn't going to let that happen. After Chiyoko's verbal slight, he was proud to see Sakura not blowing up. She looked lovely in his house's traditional robes. Hinata's doing most likely, he'd have to thank her. They were under estimating her, he could see that. She was Kunoichi, student of the Hokage, not some simple genin they could look down on. He'd have to show them that and the best way would be to let her actions show them.

He slung two kunai at her head and watched her recognize the attack and deflect them with a slight flick of her wrist, causing them to bounce off the tessen in her hands. As she sank into a defensive stance, green eyes peering at him from over the top of the fan, all he could think was that right now, this was the women he wanted to be with.

"Fight me Kunoichi," he demanded, leaping into the middle of the clearing. They would need room.

"Come at me then," Sakura replied, sinking into a ready stance.

Smirking he came at her. He started attacking lightly, testing her defenses. He wanted to break that facade she'd built up. While he adored that she could control herself around all of his relatives, he wanted her passion when fighting. Tessen practice and dancing was fun, but he wanted to see what she learned, what she could use in a real fight. He widen his stance, pushing her back further and further with his gentle fist technique. With a compound full of Hyuga, there was at least one trick he knew she wouldn't use.

He had to push her more, seeing an opening he warned her what was coming, "Hakke Nishou," tapping her he started to close up her chakra points, counting as he taps them all. Calculating he pushed her so that she ended up right in front of Chiyoko. He knew his cousin wouldn't be able to keep her mouth shut.

"Is this the extent of your training? I can see standards are slipping," Chiyoko tittered.

Neji waited for it, couldn't wait to see it actually. He watched Sakura get up, glaring at him, Her internal struggle amused him.

"Your chakra points are closed," Chiyoko informed smugly, "This match is over."

Neji's eyes never left Sakura's body as she started to chuckle low and dangerously. Finally she was going to fight him back.

She couldn't fight like this, tussled up and confined. Thinking furiously, eyes never leaving Neji's Sakura leaned down and ripped the lower half of her training kimono off. Luckily she had never been able to not wear her training shorts underneath. She tossed the fabric over her head to Chiyoko and heard the satisfying thud as the weighted fabric hit the girl in the face.

"You added weights to your clothing?" Neji's eyebrow raised, "Impressive. You know that she is right I have closed off your chakra points," he added mockingly.

"And what kind of medic would I be if I couldn't open them right back up Neji-kun," She replied back at him in the same mocking voice. The extra chakra that she stored in her hands and feet didn't disappear when he closed up her chakra points, she used that chakra to follow the paths back up into her body forcing open what he had closed. It was like pushing open a gate someone had closed one way, Sakura had learned his from their practice fighting and had begun to use this in when in the hospital treating patients suffering from the after effects of chakra gone wrong.

He smiled and then disappeared from her visual view. Not her senses though, she anticipated his blow from behind her and sent her elbow in his gut, side stepping his fist to her head. Using the closed fans, she trickled her chakra into them and with every block of his fists she tapped him with the tessen, pulsing her chakra into his body, disrupting his blood flow. They paused, back in the middle of the clearing.

"How do your arms feel? Tingly?" Sakura laughed in Neji's face, "This fight is almost over." She watched his eyes narrow and his body started to turn, chakra pulsing out of his pores. Her eyes widened and she realized that he was performing his heavenly palm spin. Time seemed to slow as she brought her leg up, gathered chakra in foot and released it on the ground. Simultaneously she pushed chakra through the open fans and rotated them the same direction that Neji was starting to spin.

What happened was that the ripple from the ground caused Neji to bounce like a ball, making his spin lose rotation enabling the chakra she was able to throw off from the fans, like curved slices to pass through his defense and put two slice wounds across the bridge of his nose, dangerously near his eyes. As Sakura stood there panting for breath, she couldn't help the laughter that bubbled out of her mouth. The shocked expression on his face was just too priceless.

Sakura let Neji grabbed her by the ruined kimono and crushed her to him, slanting his mouth over hers in a bruising kiss. He deserved it because she had won this dual. She dropped the tessens on the ground, snaking her arms around his neck, pulling him even closer. She had missed him.

Murmuring pulled them apart and Sakura's hand went to Neji's face, "Sorry, let me get you fixed up." She looked at him with a small pout on her face. He took her hand in his and turned walking towards the main house. They both came to a stop, seeing Neji's uncle Hiashi standing in their path.

Sakura stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Hyuga-sama, I want to thank you for allowing me to train here. It has truly been a great learning experience." Sakura straighten as he took a step closer to them, looking over her shoulder. Sakura turned slightly and paled. A huge crater marred the ground, with fissions running outward from it.

Haishi's hand came and patted her on her shoulder once, "You do your sensei proud, Huruna-san. Please send my regards to Tsunade-san," In a lower voice he added, "I had hoped to add the pond slightly further back but this will do."

"Gomenasai Hyuga-sama, arigato gozaimasu," Sakura said, "I will let Tsunade-sensei know." She bowed again and Neji led her into the house, away from his family. She floated behind him, in semi shock of the events of the morning. It wasn't until she was sitting on the floor in what she found out was Neji's room watching him sit next to her and take off his shirt that she came back to her senses.

"Neji! Your poor face," She rushed to open up the medical kit that Neji had set beside her. Pulling out gauze she started cleaning the wounds with iodine. "It shouldn't scar. Let me make sure the wounds are clean and then I'll encourage the skin to close. It will be very tender for a day or so, try to avoid bumping it." Finished cleaning, she cupped his face, running her chakra through the top layers of skin, knitting them close leaving no trace that she had hurt him. Satisfied she sat there cradling his face gently.

"I'm never letting you go," Neji's voice cut into the silence, his hands covering hers on his face.

His words filled her, crushing out the doubt and easing the sting of the rumors of the past weeks, "Good," she whispered, "I don't want you too." Shyly she leaned and kissed him softly. He leaned forward just slightly as she parted her lips, their moist breath mingling. His arms slide down hers, over her torso to her butt, gripping and pulling her onto his lap, her knees on either side of his body. Sakura flicked her tongue at his lower lip and sat back in his arms, causing their groins to grind together slightly. With a wicked grin she leaned forward again, only to be stopped by Neji's hands on her elbows.

He turned his head slightly, eyes narrowing. Looking back at Sakura he whispered, "be a good girl for me."

Sakura looked at him in confusion, then heard a knock on his door.

"Neji-niisan, can I come in?" Hinata's voice called through the wood.

Sakura opened her mouth to reply when she felt Neji's fingers tap her slightly on the back, unable to control herself as the orgasm surprised her, she cried out loudly.

"I'll tell them you're both, occupied for a while," Hinata giggled as she walked away.

Sakura squirmed on Neji's lap, mortified at what he'd just done, but she couldn't help the way her body felt now. She pulsed between her legs. Glaring at him she was trapped when he pushed the top of her kimono down, securing the cloth at the back, effectively trapping her arms down.

"There will be no afterwards, there's only going to be right now," Neji's eyes darkened as he kissed her.
