Bound To Another

Chapter One

I'm going to be writing over this book, looking at my writing at that time makes me cringe haha, so I'll be working on this along with my other books.
I'll also be tweaking the plots and pairings to my liking.

"Sakura?."

Sakura hummed in question, not bothering to look up from where she was scribbling down prescriptions on her patients files.

"Did you have lunch?."  The brown haired, pearl eyed man asked, crossing his arms over his chest, giving her a stern look that passed right over Sakura's bent head.

"..Mhh, gimme a minute. "

Which means, translated in Neji's book of Sakura's mutterings as no.

"Tenshi... you need to eat." He sighed. Seriously, if any one of them makes the mistake of leaving Sakura to her own devices, it would be trouble. He's not kidding.
"Do you want me to tell Naruto?." Or worse yet, Sai? He didn't say it outloud but the question went unasked.

At that Sakura let out the most pitiful whine Neji has ever heard, throwing her arms out to slump against the desk, her cheek smooshed to the surface of the cool polished wood.
"Ugh, I need to get this done today Neji! All my patients need their medication, do you want them to die?."

He scoffed, reaching forward to flick her on the forehead.
"How are the patients going to get their medicine if their doctor is the one who died?." He said, raising an eyebrow at that logic, watching as Sakura pushed her bottom lip out in the most adorable pout he has ever seen, once she had figured out she couldnt fight him and his stupid logic.

"Finnneee." Said girl huffed, pushing herself up, back audibly creaking making her wince.
"Ugh, I'm getting old before my time. What are we having?." She asked pointedly ignoring the way he was staring, as if to make his own point across.

"Anything you want."

Sakura shook her head, her family indulged her whims all to often, she was getting rather spoiled.

"...Teriyaki Chicken." She decided after a solid two minutes of pretend thinking. Neji gave her a fond look, knowing very well that she was just messing with him.

"Teriyaki chicken it is then." He confirmed, then jerked his finger forwards.
"Now stop stalling and let's go already, I have a feeling that today is going to be a pain."

"You sound like Shikamaru. " She snickered, hastily putting away her folders and notes, when she gets back then she'll finish up her prescriptions.
"And you find everyday a pain."

"The struggle is very real." He deadpanned.

Sakura bursted out laughing, one small hand coming up to cover her mouth. Was he trying to kill her? Saying that sentence with a god damn straight face, tone dry as the desert dust.

"Come on." Neji huffed, wrapping an arm around her waist to pull her against his side.
"You can laugh about it all the way to the restaurant. "

That made Sakura laugh even harder, so hard that tears were beginning to wet her lashes, her body vibrated with her mirth.
However as soon as they stepped out of Sakura's office, her laughter stopped abruptly. Sakura cleared her throat at the sight of the woman in front of them, she wanted to laugh again but for a whole different reason.

Kurotsuchi Ayumi, Brown haired, blue eyed, fair skinned, the most vindictive, most envious and vengeful woman Sakura has ever had the displeasure of meeting.
