Neji was right. That morning was the longest morning of his entire life. First, when they arrived at the twenty four hour store they already ran into Kiba, who was buying dog food for Akamaru. He noticed their hands and decided it was be fun to tease the prodigy about it. Neji wanted to punch the mutt into the next century but Sakura's voice stopped him.

Flashback:

"Neji-kun, come over here please I need help getting that." she said sweetly saving Kiba from her pretend boyfriend's wrath.

"Yes dear," Neji muttered feeling sick to his stomach.

"So you're basically whipped!" the mutt laughed watching the Hyuuga leave. Neji activated his Byakugan and turned to glare at him. Kiba gulped quickly paying for his groceries and dashed out the store.

End of Flashback


Then his humiliation didn't stop there. Soon after Kiba left Anko came inside with Kurenai and Asuma.

Flash back again

"Sakura-chan!" the sadistic woman yelled waving at her excitedly. Sakura finally decided to let go of Neji's hand to wave back at the woman.

"Anko! What brings you here?" Sakura asked running up to hug the woman. Neji shuddered involuntarily. Jus the thought of his 'girlfriend' being close to the sadistic woman mad the hair on his neck stand up.

"Oh, you know helping Kurenai and Asuma buy some baby things." She replied grinning at her then her eyes landed on the Hyuuga behind her.

"So it's true then," she mumbled her eyes narrowing at the boy. Neji gulped under her intense stare.

"What is?" Kurenai asked trying to break Anko's evil glare.

"What Inuzuka said when we ran into him." Anko said smiling.

"I didn't understand what he was saying. The boy was stuttering so bad that every word he breathed out was gibberish to me." Asuma said speaking this time.

"Oh, you mean when he said that Sakura and Neji were going out?" Kurenai asked her crimson eyes looking at the two genins in front of her.

"Yes! Now is it true?" Anko said inching closer to Neji.

"Hai, Mitarashi-san" Neji said proudly wrapping his arms around Sakura's waist making the pinkette blush.

"Well take care of her! If you hurt her well I'll let you think about all sadistic methods I will perform on you when you do." Anko grinned patting his shoulder before dragging her friend to the baby section. Asuma sighed and puts a concerned hand on Neji's shoulder.

"Anko, is the least of your worries. Kakashi is going to be harder to crack." He mumbled.

"Why Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked fearing that Asuma knew their secret.

"Well, you're part of his team. The first genins he trained ever. I'm sure he cares about you, Sasuke and Naruto." Asuma explained patting Sakura's head before leaving. Sakura sighed in relief and turned to Neji.

"How about we pay for this before we run into more people." She said leading the way to the cashier.

End of Flashback


The conversation in the store with the three jonins caused the 'couple' to stay longer than expected. Soon the streets of Konoha was buzzing with civilians as well as ninjas helping with the village's construction work. Neji and Sakura ran into Choji and Shikamaru. Luckily for the Hyuuga it was just a quick hi and hello before they continued in their merry way. But Neji's relief came crashing down when they ran into Hiashi Hyuuga himself.

Flashback (last time!)

"Neji?" the clan leader called out.

"Hai, Hiashi-sama did you need me for something?"He said politely bowing at the clan lord.

"Actually yes, there's a rumor spreading that Sakura and my own nephew are dating. I wish to know if these rumors are true."Hiashi asked looking at the two teens.

"Yes, Hiashi-san." Sakura lied nervously. Hiashi's eyes narrowed trying to find if the girl was lying or not.

"Very well, please meet me at the Hyuuga compound this evening and we'll discuss this matter." With that said he left, leaving the stunned Hyuuga and the frantic pinkette to their wake.

End of Flashback


Now Neji started pacing back and forth in the kitchen while Sakura cooked.

"Neji! Please stop pacing you're going to make me burn our breakfast." Sakura said sternly stirring the contents.

"Hatake! How can I? we just lied to my uncle!" Neji hissed letting his cool façade fall.

"So we're back to last names again." Sakura thought sadly trying to stop her tears from falling.

"You like him"

"Maybe, I don't know. I don't even understand why I'm affected by his sudden change of attitude."

"Sakura-chan you like him. Admit it. You like the feeling when he wraps his arms around you. You like how your name sounds when he says it. Girl you're in love!"

"HATAKE!" Neji's voice interrupted her conversation with her inner.

"What?" She snapped turning off the stove.

"What has gotten into you?" He grumbled looking at her.

"Nothing!" she hissed pouring miso soup in a bowl, setting it on the table before storming into the living room. Neji rolled his eyes and followed the angry girl.

"Okay what the hell was that?" He said fighting the urge to raise his voice.

"Nothing." Sakura said avoiding his gaze and wiping her eyes. Neji frowned and sat next the girl on the couch.

"What' wrong?" He asked again softly. Sakura stayed silent still looking down. Neji sighed and used his hand to lift her face to meet his. He found her eyes stained by tears.

"Why are you crying?" He mumbled wiping the falling tears with his thumb.

"It's all my fault. If I didn't lie to your uncle then we wouldn't be in this situation." She whispered so low that Neji's highly trained ears were strained. He sighed again pulling her on his lap.

"It's not your fault. If we had to blame anyone for this, it should be me. I lied to Yamanaka." He said running his fingers through her long hair.

"You wouldn't have to lie, if you didn't carry me home." She responded leaning into his touch.

"You wouldn't have passed out if Hatake-san and I came a little earlier." He mumbled letting her head lay on his chest.

"Neji?" Sakura asked sleepily.

"Hm?"

"Do you think there might be a chance that this could all be real at some point in our life?" She asked falling asleep.

Without giving It a second thought just before he drifted into dreamland, he murmured "Yes."
