Platonic- Platonic Love is a fools name for affection between two persons who have not yet become intimate

"Neji-Kun and My relationship is merely platonic Ino, there is nothing going on."

"Riiiiight. Sakura, you need to read through the lines. You like Neji, Neji likes you! It's not that difficult to understand."

"What lines!?"

"Hmmm...Let see he only allows you to tend to his injuries"

"That's because He wants the best care he can ge-"

"He refused the Hokage's medical Aid Sakura. You can't get better care then Tsunade-Sama"

"...That doesn't mean that he likes me Ino."

"Alright then example number two he takes you out to lunch at least once a week."

"That doesn't mean anything. Naruto and I go to ichirakus all the time that doesn't mean that we're involved in any-"

"That's because you force Naruto to buy the food. Neji picks you up from the hospital and takes you to an actual restaurant, which he pays without you having to ask him."

"So-"

"He actually talks to you during said lunch dates-"

"It's not a date!!"

"Right, And I'm enrolling myself for the Gai's 'Perfect youth' Marathon around fire country.

"..."

"I thought so. Anyway moving on. He talks to you. And not one word answers either. Do you know how many conversations I've actually carried out with his princely Hyuuganess?"

"...Seven?"

"None! No a one. Face it Sakura, he's interested."

"Well...even if he wants to take our very platonic relationship higher, I don't."

"..."

"What? I don't!! Don't give me that look Ino!!"

"Alright then lets go through the reasons why your in love with Neji."

"I'm not in love with anyon-"

"You totally freaked out because you couldn't find the perfect gift for his birthday. I do not seem to recall you that paranoid about Kiba, Shikamaru or any of your other 'platonic' friends birthdays."

"I..I Just wanted to make sure I go him something relevant that he wouldn't find useless..."

"You got him a kitten Sakura, he doesn't even like animals. But lets not forget who he named it after..."

"...He didn't name it after me!"

"He calls it Blossom.'

"But-"

"It has pink spots."

"..."

"I thought he was going to name it 'Cat' and be done with it, but no... He named it after his favorite Medic-Chan."

"...I don't like this conversation."

"Not caring...lets see You wait for him at the gate when you hear a rumor that he's coming back."

"I'm a medic! I'm there to make sure he's-I mean no one's injured."

"Who did you ask to go to the summer festival with? Hamm?"

"Shut up. Stop grinning like that!"

"Who did you take to Naruto and Hinata's Wedding? Hmmm?"

"I told you we're just friends Ino!! There is nothing romantic between me and Neji-Kun-"

"You call him Neji-kun"

"...what- that doesn't mean-"

"You haven't called anyone with -kun since Sasuke left."

"...I call must call some one else with that honorific it not as if..."

"No one. Not Naruto, Not Kakashi, Not Anyone but Neji, face it Sakura-Chan, you're in love."

"Ino I swear that I am not. I do not act any differently around Neji-San then I do Anyone else. We are merely close friends and nothing mo-"

"Sakura-Chan, Are you busy now?"

Both girls' heads whipped around at lightning speed to find the subject of there conversation standing behind them, eyes focused on Sakura. Ino rolled her eyes, this was sad.

"No, not at all Neji-Kun! I was just clearing up an issue with Ino. " The pink haired girl turned to glare at her best friend, but grinned wildly as she turned back to The Hyuuga. "What was it you wanted?"

"...Come on we're going to lunch." At this, Sakura's smile widen 10 fold as she and Neji walk (well Sakura skipped) away from Ino and her speculations. Said Woman sighed as she watched the couple leave, not missing when Neji took Sakura's hand and held it in his own.

"Silly Forehead Girl, when will you learn that platonic only means that your not intimate- Yet."
