Replaceable Edit

Apologies: I'm sorry the first one was not good at all! I was so disappointed in myself. So I had to do this one over. And I plan to prolong it so everybody who liked it originally, well…they get a little extra.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but this plot. So I pretty much suck.

Sakura Haruno, age 21, wiped her brow. It had been a long day at the hospital and she was tired. She smiled at the thought of going home to her boyfriend, Sasuke Uchiha. Unlike the girl she had been when she was 12, Sakura Haruno had changed.

She was the successful head medic in Konoha, known throughout the world, and as the successor of Tsunade. She had filled out nicely, a voluptuous body and curves any girl would kill for. Her bubblegum pink hair had grown but she kept it to the length of her shoulders, finding that it was much easier to have shorter hair. Her eyes maintained its bright innocence but contained wisdom that rivaled anyone else.

She looked at her list, seeing that she only had to deal with one more patient and smiled brightly. It was her favorite patient ever, a one Neji Hyuuga.

She practically skipped to his room, smiling bright as ever. "Hello Neji-kun! May I ask why was Nurse Matsu complaining that you were threatening her again?"

Neji Hyuuga was not a happy man. He was perfectly fine, maybe a couple of broken ribs, a twisted ankle, an almost concussion, but nothing that the Hyuuga prodigy couldn't handle.

"Haruno. I'm fine." Sakura smiled sweetly to Neji and continued to check over him. She nodded when she was finished and tapped him on his shoulder.

"You are correct Neji-kun. You're in good condition. You will be let out tomorrow and free to train. But please get some rest now, okay? Hyuuga-sama was quite scary last time when we couldn't find you." She turned to walk outside the door. She looked back and waved before sashaying out of the hospital room.

Sakura began to hum along her walk home. Sasuke wasn't expecting her until ten, she glanced at her watch, and it was only nine, she had been let out early obviously.

When she arrived at her house, she arched her eyebrow in confusion when she found it was unlocked. She heard a strange noise coming from her bedroom.

Using her stealth skills, she made her way to the open bedroom door, and her eyes widened and filled with anger and denial.

The voices from her bedroom were getting louder and louder, the moans and husky grunts filled her whole house, and she cringed with mental pain.

"Oh. HARDER! HARDER SASUKE-KUN! OH! OH! OH!" Ino Yamanaka cried out in ecstasy as Sasuke drove in deeper inside her. His husky grunts were out of control and she could tell he was enjoying it as much as Ino obviously was.

Sakura's eyes watered and she muffled a cry of shock as she walked out of her house. She didn't know what to do but run. She kept running as far as she could from Ino, from Sasuke, from the house, from where they were having sex, from where Sasuke was cheating on her.

-x-

She wiped her eyes and looked up to she had run all the way to the hospital. She needed to talk to someone, badly. The only person in the hospital right now was Neji and right now, all Sakura needed was some company. So she took the chance and made her way to his room.

"Neji-kun?" She knocked on his door lightly before entering quietly. She lost her breath as she entered. The moonlight had made him look like a fallen angel as he turned to look at her. "Haru—are you okay Sakura?"

She smiled lightly before wiping her eyes, while nodding. "I'm fine Neji-kun…but if you don't mind. Can I talk to you?"

He nodded his approval and she took a seat beside him. Putting her hands in her lap, she stared at Neji sadly, "I found him cheating on me…" She said simply as she looked down to her hands.

She didn't noticee that Neji's eyes narrowed with hatred for the Uchiha. He never liked Sasuke that much anyways, ever since he gave him that smart-assed comment when they were Genin.

"What?" He hissed softly, as his fist clenched around the hospital sheet, so Sakura began to explain what had happened after she left the hospital. By that time, Neji was sitting straight up from his bed, glaring viciously at the wall. When Sakura looked up, she noticed that he was growling, as if about to attack.

She placed her warm hand on his shoulder, "It's okay Neji. I'll be fine. It just made me disappointed that he would do so in my own house and with someone I thought was my best friend."

He glanced at her, as if realizing how much she had changed. The twelve year old Sakura would have been bawling tears and screaming about how betrayed and heartbroken she was feeling. Neji smiled lightly as if impressed, "If there is anything I could do to help Sakura…feel free to ask."

Sakura looked at him and smiled back, it was a rare thing to see the Hyuuga prodigy to smile. "If I do, I will." She stood up, after glancing at her watch.

"I should leave now. You must get your rest Neji-kun, but thank you." As he inclined his head in question, she responded, "For listening to me. You don't know how much it means to me."

As she walked towards the door, she had a epiphany and turned back to the prodigy who had been watching her as she walked to the door. When she had turned so abruptly, he was looking slightly alarmed.

"Sakura?" Her eyes widened excitedly as she ran towards him, grabbing his hands out of glee.

"I have an idea Neji-kun!" Raising his eyebrow, Neji leaned back into his cool composure. "And that would be?"

"I'm going to show Sasuke Uchiha that he isn't as high and mighty as he believes himself to be! I'm going to show him how I've changed, how I don't need him!" Sakura's eyes glowing with excitement, ready to knock off the Uchiha off of his pedestal.

Neji Hyuuga smirked, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure. He liked this determined Sakura, "So…how can I help?"

Yes I know. Cliffhanger. But at least you want to read more right?

Well, hopefully, the writer block won't kill me and I'll be able to continue to write more.
