The Sand Prince 3/?

[Chibi_Kawaii_Neko]

A.N: Hey! Heres the next chappie

Disclaimer: I own?.nothing?...

Last time-

?You like her, Cousin Neji??

?More than you?ll ever know?? he whispered softly still staring at the spot where Sakura was minutes before. Then realizing what he said, he blushed madly.

?Don?t tell anyone about what you heard. Good night, cousin Hinata.? He said.

Then he hugged her softly and walked out the door?



Chapter-3- Some thoughts and the Journey.

Sakura slowed down from her run to a walk. She sighed, her cheeks aflame and her heart beating faster partly because of her run down the long hall ways and partly?.this part confused her, because of Neji.

?Why do I feel like this...I never have before? we have always been friends nothing more nothing less?..Am I crushing on him??
She shook her head to clear her thoughts.

?I do not like him like that?.I don?t...I just missed him?after all he?s been gone for 2 years.?

Sakura opened her door and walked in to her room.

?I don?t like him like that!? She growled in her room scaring the maids that were packing her clothes for her.

?Lady?? they questioned.

She sighed and shook her head again?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gaara?s eyes swept over his gang?s camp. Everyone was moving around, getting ready for a night of packing up and moving their camp. Then resetting their camp. The scouts of the Sand Kingdom had gotten to close to the camp. He watch as the newest member of their band of thieves walked over to him, scowling at him.

?What do you want, prince..??

The dark haired boy growled at him after he called him that name.

?I am no longer a prince?and what the hell is going on here? Why is everyone packing up??

?We?re moving to a safer place?.?

??.fine..?

?How does it feel to be an exile??

???I won?t be exile for long?.. After I get strong enough, I?m going back to kill Itachi and take the throne and I?ll be king??

??...?

?Sir! The agent from the Hyuuga Kingdom is here.?

??.bring him to me??

?Yes, sir!?

Gaara looked at the dark haired exile prince. ?You need to take your tent down and pack your stuff ? no one is going to do it for you?prince.?

Sasuke knew a dismissal when he heard one and Gaara had dismissed him to talk with the informer. He walked off. Gaara turn to face his Informer.

?Why did you come here??

?The Hyuuga princess is traveling to meet her betrothed in the Leaf Kingdom. She will be going through the Desert to get there. ?

?Interesting?what does this princess look like??

?She has odd colored hair and odd colored ey- gack??

Gaara watched as the man fell to the ground, dead. The man standing near him, eyes widened a bit.

?Poison, some one knew who he was and what he was doing. Leave him?.he will be buried by the sand.?

A plan began to form in his mind. This odd princess would come in handy?.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Neji watched Sakura go into her room. Then he watched her door shut and he turned away and walked down the hall to his rooms, thinking. (no Neji is not a stalker?I hope)

While he had been away, almost every thought had been of her and when he?d be able to see her again. He had loved ever since they were children. That?s why he had shocked his uncle, the king, and accepted the invention to accompany the girls to the Leaf Kingdom. He knew Sakura was staying with Hinata?.He would too.

He reached his room and when to sleep?well as much as a love sick lord could.

AfterNoon!

Sakura sleepily climbed into the carriage where Hinata sat and sat down beside her.

?Morning Hina-chan!?

?Its after noon! Why are you tired??

?Ah?I know. The maids were mad at me because they had so little time to pack my stuff so they took forever packing it and I didn?t go to bed till the sun was rising.? The carriage began to move. And they were off to start their journey.

Sakura looked out her window and waved good bye to Tsukushi?the one and only family member she had left. Tears were forming in her eyes. She would miss her. She sat back down into the carriage and smiled at Hinata, who also had tears in her eyes.

?Oh Saku-chan?I don?t want to go?.? She cried and hugged her.

?Oh Hina-chan I know?.? She too cried and hugged her back as the moving carriage carried them away from all they knew?to all they didn?t know.

A.N: Oh I hoped you liked it!
