Summary: Hinata had everything planned out to perfection. 1. Marry Sasuke And 2. Live Happily Ever After. But plans change. And now he has to win her back. Let the Wooing Begin.......Main Pairing: Sasuke/Hinata

Minor Pairings: Well, you'll just have to wait and see won't you. But at this point it is open for suggestion.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything recognizable from Naruto. I'm simply borrowing the characters for a while and promise to put them back when I'm done.

Chapter Eight:

The First of Many:

Opal eyes barely skimmed the speedlimit sign that flew by his passenger window in an alarming blur of color.

'Did that say 30 or 40....' Neji shrugged glancing down at his speedometer. The Hyuuga hardly gave second thought as he proceeded to shift into 4th, the little hand on the dashboard slipping passed 80mph.

He expertly weaved through Konoha-mid-morning traffic, brushing bumpers and falling on the receiving end of some rather nasty gestures. One particularly vulgar 'Double-finger' backed by a torrent of words that would peel the bark off a tree, courtesy of Kei Mitarashi.

Neji's eyes flew to the rearview mirror once more, catching the sight of a fast approaching sleek, black automobile hot on his tracks. He ground his teeth, knuckles curling tight around the leather wheel. There was no way in Hell he would allow that bastard to set one foot short of 100 yards near Hinata again. Not after all she'd been through.

Sasuke..... His foot slammed down on the gas.

--FlashBack: 30 minutes ago--

Neji rapt the front door again, his wrist throbbing with the amount of strain that had been afflicted on it over the passed week. He'd been frantically backtracking and establishing damage control the last seven days. And all he had to show for it was sleep deprivation, 350 miles more on his odometer, and carpal tunnel.

Gi-Gi had a lot to account for. But unfortunately, for the last seven days, in between getting his and Hinata's ads removed from scores of newspapers spread throughout the whole of 3 countries, Gi-Gi had remained elusive. Coincidentally, as had the would-be rival, Granny Uchiha. He didn't need a calculator to put the two together, and thus here he was; the final stop concluding six nights of Red Bull and convenient store hotdogs.

He pounded on the door of the elder Uchiha's house again.

"Gi-Gi! I know you're in there!" He shouted into the mockingly sunshine yellow grains. "I'd like to have a word!"

And maybe a limb.... Neji tacked on mentally. Now don't confuse the eldest Hyuuga's current acrimony towards his grandmother as Hate. He could never hate his Gi-Gi. Wish her dismemberment, perhaps, but hate? No.... Gi-Gi had been the one to dry his tears, band-aid his wounds, give him his first bike riding lesson,

Slanderously 'out' him to the greater half of the homosexual population residing in the Eastern Hemisphere.... Neji narrowed his eyes, a growl pulling at the depths of his throat. Let's get one thing clear. Neji Hyuuga, is not and I repeat not Gay. Sure, he was a good looking single man of 30 who liked to be presentable and therefore dressed in designer clothes topped with a mane of flawless brown hair that if caught just right in the sun, you could see the natural auburn highli-

Neji coughed.

Okay, so he was a tad feminine. Who cared? Itachi Uchiha could also be construed as feminine under the same criterion. So why didn't he have his own thoughtful little ad?

And that picture.... Neji cringed, shaking his head disgustedly. How they got that picture he'd never know. The one time he was forced to dress in drag....

It was the unspoken Hyuuga motto to 'Never Bet Against Hinata,' especially when it came to baseball, and yet in Neji's infinite wisdom, he thought he could trap her. Who knew a simple wager on one insignificant double-header could come back to bite him in the ass. A minor miscalculation on player stats had him playing Tinkerbell to Hanabi's Pan Halloween three years ago. Of course stipulations of said wager involved, wings, tights, and last but not least, green slippers topped with white puff balls.

And, naturally, this was the eye catcher of his ad, complete with his number and whimsical salutation of

Hot-Bunned Hyuuga Single and on the Prowl

Why Limit Myself to One Sex When I Have So Much Love to Give!

If You're Looking for Faith, Trust, and a Touch of Pixie Dust, Call

And just so the readers were clear, his loving Gi-Gi, the same Gi-Gi who dried his tears, band-aid his wounds and taught him how to ride a damn bike embellished,

AKA: I LIKE MEN

Oh yes, that Gi-Gi of his had a lot to account for.

He knocked again, letting the door absorb some of his frustration.

At least he was able to change his number, Neji mused warily. No amount of bribing or hot-aired threats could get the phone company to switch Hinata's. Whatever Gi-Gi and or Uchiha held over them had to be just short of mass puppy slaughter, because there was no room for negotiation. So where as he only had to put up with one day of unwanted advances, his sweet, soft-dispostioned sister's phone was still ringing. If he remembered correctly, she was on her third answering machine, and forced to bunk with TenTen.

TenTen, now there's an idea... Neji hummed thoughtfully. I'll think about it later.....

The Hyuuga sighed, leaning his forehead against the door, tiredly. This was pointless, he rubbed his eyes, stepping off the porch and meandering back down the path to his car. Gi-Gi would be found when she wanted to be found, not a moment sooner. So the only thing Neji could do at this point was muster up what was left of his pride and drag himself to Hinata's small two-story and grab her mail. Then after dropping it off at the Flower shop, he could go home and crash on his very expensive, very comfortable king mattress.

~~~~~~*~~~~~~

"Well, I think it's safe to say that he wasn't happy with our 'push.'" Granny Uchiha tsked, onyx eyes following the Jaguar as it pulled away from her curb. Gi-Gi stepped up next her, holding out a cup of tea.

"I'd have to agree." The Hyuuga elder blew across the top of the steam-curling Hoji Cha before sipping tentatively. "But, he'll thank us later." She added cryptically, earning a nod from the Uchiha. The pair shuffled back to their ongoing game of gin-rummy.

~~~~~~*~~~~~~

"Oh, now what is this mess?" Neji groaned eyeing the small Sedan parked in Hinata's driveway. Opal eyes shifted to the half-unloaded moving truck squatting in the neighbors adjacent inlet. He rolled his eyes.

Great, this day's just getting better and better.... The Hyuuga cringed pulling parallel with Hinata's curb. He parked his 80,000 dollar jag, a birthday gift from his father, and climbed out. He stalked across the grass into the neighboring lawn. Passing by the what appeared at first glance to be fallout from an explosion, but was instead just the new residents' kitchen leaking out onto the sidewalk, he made his way to the porch.

It was a shame really, he shook his head. Kurenai and Asuma had put so much into the two-story before him. He, himself, had in fact help install the two bathrooms, while Hinata, Ino, and Ten, painted the living room, dining room and three of the four bedrooms. Now this place was apparently going to the Konoha Hillbillies.....

Unable to maneuver around the clutter stacked on the stairs leading up to a wrap around porch, he opted for cupping his hand around his mouth.

"Excuse Me! Hello?"

"Yeah!" Came the distinctly female answer from somewhere beyond the sea of junk.

"You Need To Move Your Car!" Neji strained, eyes barely catching a glimpse of blonde hair weaving through the towers of boxes just inside the front door.

"What?"

Neji rolled his eyes.

"I Said You Need To-"

"No, I Got That!" The girl cut in, "Why?!"

"Because, You're In My Parking Spot!" Neji clenched his jaw.

"What?"

"I Said You're In My-

"Whoa," A curvy blonde in her late twenties stepped out onto the covered porch, her hair pulled back into a bandana, dirt smudged across her cheeks. "No need to shout, lady."

Opal eyes glazed over in ice, his lips twisting into a marring scowl.

"I am not a women." He snarled. Neji watch her brows shoot up, blue-eyes widening in disbelief. She ran a flummoxed gander down his manner of dress; designer jeans, white t-shirt, his hair left to cascade down his back. She blinked.

"You sure?"

"Most undoubtedly." The Hyuuga fumed. "And if you don't get your vehicle off my property, I'm going to call the police." Okay, maybe not his property, but his sisters, close enough. And with that he turned heel, stalking over to Hinata's mailbox. He tuned out the protesting shout's of admonishment, nearly ripping off the small door to her Bee shaped box.

"Bad day?" A male voice offered from somewhere behind him.

"You've no idea." Neji seethed, not facing the unknown guest instead watching Hinata's new neighbor try to kick her way through cardboard and newspaper.

"Hn. Hinata Hyuuga live here?"

Oh no.... He closed his eyes. If the phone calls weren't enough, now they're starting to stalk her.....

"Listen you sick fuc-" Neji stopped dead, the words frozen in his throat as he pivoted, not to see the unknown pervert he expected; but wouldn't you know-

"Sasuke." The Hyuuga breathed, in precipitance.

"Neji." The Uchiha repeated. The smirk on his lips had only moments life before the whistling fist of one livid Hyuuga male connected with the side of his face, snapping his head to the side and sending the Uchiha to the ground, sprawled on his back.

~~~~~~*~~~~~~

Sasuke blinked, stars dancing in and out of his spotted vision. The pain radiated from his cheek in throbbing waves of cold reality.

Better than what I expected.... He mentally shrugged. Okay, so half of him had hoped to show up on Hinata's doorstep, beg her to take him back, and she would collapse into his open arms in a fit of nonpareil delight. Afterwards; sex. Lots of it.

Maybe she still had that cat outfit....

His mind was quickly brought back to the actual scenario that was instead taking place; the one that involved a very pissed off Hyuuga standing over him, fists ready and waiting.

It can never be as simple as you want it to be....

"Stay the hell away from my Sister, Uchiha." Neji hissed, barely controlling the urge to rip the man limb from limb. "I don't know why you're here," He pointed, "And I don't care. Just. Stay. Away." The heir to the Hyuuga company straightened, stepping over Sasuke towards his car, absently rubbing his bruised knuckles.

"What if I was to tell you," The youngest Uchiha brother pushed himself off the ground, his fingers tenderly probing the soon-to-be black eye. "The reason I'm here is Hinata?"

Neji's hand froze on the handle of his car door. "I'd say goodluck." He scoffed, lips pulling into a cynical grin. "The only reason I'm walking away now," opal eyes narrowed, "Is because I'd hate to rob Hinata the pleasure of kicking your ass, herself."

"So your warning me?" Sasuke chuckled.

"No," Neji shrugged, "Just informing you of your impending date with disappointment."

"I'll take my chances." Onyx eyes flickered in resolute determination. "Are you going to tell me where she is?" Sasuke brushed off the grass from his pants, a single brow arching.

"No." Neji stated flatly, climbing into his drivers seat.

"I'll just follow you, you know." Sasuke challenged, running a hand through his hair.

"You can try." The Hyuuga bid before slamming his door shut and firing up the engine.

--End of FlashBack--

How the hell was he suppose to know that Sasuke owned a BM-GodDamn-W?!

~~~~~~*~~~~~~

A/N: There it is. Neji's own little chappy and the return of Sasuke! Hope you guys liked it! Some definite Sasu/Hina confrontation coming up!

And remember, minor pairings are still up for suggestion, so just review your preference and I'll tally up the votes!
