The door chimed. Shikamaru was still asleep in the nursery. Thankfully, the doors had been soundproofed back at the nursery. Ino recited, "Welcome to the Yamanaka Flower Shop. My name is Yamanaka Ino. Just tell me if you need any assistance." This was the second time today that Ino recited the store creed. She just sat there reading about the meanings of rose colors. It was actually interesting! *Red=love, Yellow=Friendship, Black=Death, Purple=Loyalty, Yellow with a red spot= wanting to be more than friends! This is so cool!*Ino thought to herself. She didn't bother looking up. *Why should I look up?*She thought. *You see one person buying flowers, you've see them all*

Neji had entered the flower shop. He didn't know what had brought him here. It felt like someone had dragged him here for some reason. 'Oh well, I'm here anyways, and it'd be rude not to buy anything.' Neji thought.'It was probably destiny that I am here. Maybe something I need.' Neji then remembered how Naruto had fought with him, defying all destiny. 'Or maybe I'm just here.' Neji thought after. He walked in to here some one saying things about roses and flowers.

Ino looked up from her magazine. She couldn't believe her eyes. "Neji?" She said. *This is too weird! First Shikamaru, now Neji, who next? NARUTO!?* She then smiled at Neji. "What brings YOU to the flower shop?" Ino asked. She REALLY wanted to know. For once, a customer was amusing her.

Neji looked up at Ino. 'So she was the owner.....or her family is.' Neji said in his mind. "I don't know." Neji answered her question expressionless. 'Ino, Yamanaka Ino.....I should have known....I'm so stupid.' Neji thought a little frustrated. Neji was still wondering why he was here. 'Am I here to buy something? Flowers....?' Neji was confused. Why would he buy flowers? He sighed and looked at Ino again. "What flowers are there here?"

Ino smiled at Neji. *Hyuuga Neji is a Flower Fan!*She thought to herself. "What flowers DON'T we have?!" Ino replied to his question. "Our specialty is Roses, though." She said. ROSES ROSES ROSES! Her entire day was based on roses! *I picked a good day to run the flower shop* thought Ino.

Neji looked up. "Hnn." What would he do with some flowers? Neji thought to himself. Buying the flower was no problem, he could earn back the money later. "Who should I give it to?" Neji asked Ino. He didn't want to keep a flower, but that only left the choice of giving it away. Why would he give flowers to someone? He found no reason to buy flowers. He sighed. "I'll buy a yellow rose." Neji said finally.

Ino smiled and giggled a bit. *I assume he read that article too* Ino thought. "That will be 50 Ryou Neji-kun! So, who's the lucky girl/boy?" She smiled not knowing what else to say. She just led Neji to the yellow roses. *Humph. Wouldn't it be ironic if he picked out a yellow rose with some red on the top?*She thought to herself.

Neji paid for the roses and just waited as she tied them up. Neji was still wondering what to do with them. He took them from Ino's hand and just stared at them. Neji closed his eyes to think. "What should I do with them," he said with a low voice. He opened his eyes, and for the first time in a while, he showed an expression. He had a confused look. He really didn't know what he would do with them.

Ino looked at Neji. He looked so confused so she asked him "So Neji, who's the lucky girl?". She had asked this before but this time she thought it would help him think. She waited pationtly for his answer. She stared at his eyes. *Hmm. I never noticed how deep Neji's eyes were. Its like a grayish-blue pool! Its kind of scary.* Ino snapped herself out of her trans. She then just looked at him again. She still saw a confused stare. She gave him a reassuring smile.

Neji returned to his origional emotionless face. He looked at Ino. "Who do you know wants flowers?" Neji really didn't know how he should react. He had never bought flowers before. He didn't know that girls liked flowers. He stared blankly at the flowers.
He had never noticed that the flowers were all different than others. Each flower has its own unique shape. He really hadn't noticed this even with his perfect vision.

(((that last line sounded exactly like Neji!!))))
Ino blinked. "Well, Girls LOVE flowers so why don't you give it to a girl on your team or a girl that you're close friends with. Like Tenten! She's your teammate AND your friend" Ino smiled. She knew that Tenten and Neji were really close and that it would be so nice of him to give that rose to Tenten.

Neji thought for a minute. 'Should I give a rose to Tenten? Would she even care?' Neji looked up and smiled a small smile almost undetectable. He decided to give it to Tenten. It wouldn't hurt him to. He stared at the flowers for a while before wondering why he didn't think to give it to her sooner. 'It would be nice...I guess' Neji thought. He looked up once again to see Ino. "Thank you." Neji said bluntly.

Ino smiled. She said "Thanks for Choosing the Yamanaka Flower Shop!". She watched Neji. He had actually smiled a bit! *Wow, that doesn't happen everyday!*Ino thought. She then looked at the flower that Neji had bought. It was yellow....but then....It had one little bit of red on one petal!! *Is that accidental or did he pick that on purpose?* Ino wondered. She just smiled and thought about Neji's flower for Tenten. She then sat back down at her desk. It was a better view of the entrance anyway.

Neji took the flower gently and said his thanks. He thought how he should approach Tenten to give her the flower. After a little, he noticed a hint of red on some of the petals. He thought of what it meant. 'Was it freinds?, No,...." He finally remembered, It meant wanting to be more than just friends. His pulse speed up a little, he had wondered if Tenten knew. He sighed, what's done is done.

Ino watched Neji as he left. She smiled and then looked back down at her magazine. She had so many good thoughts and wishes for Tenten and Neji. She just couldn't concentrate on reading anymore. She put down her magazine. *What magazine was that anyway? I read so many good things out of it! I think I'll subscribe.* She turned the book over to read it's cover. She read aloud "The first Sigh". What a cool title! She kept reading "How do you take the signs of a relationship? Is it even a real sign?" Ino just looked back at the door when she heard the chime. Neji had left. Maybe it was fate that he should walk in on a day that she was reading that magazine. She just sat there and thought *Good choice Neji, good choice.*
