Neji x reader: Top 5 Shinobi Prodigies

Chapter 37

y/n pov:

''will the baby's life shorten because of the tailed beasts sealed inside them'' Sakura took a seat on one of the chairs in the room

''no they said the baby will be fine, even if the baby gets my Jougan or if the baby gets a different Kekkei Genkai it won't matter everything will be fine'' I shrugged as I looked at her

''are you implying that the guy you like has a Kekkei Genkai'' Ino asked putting her fingers on her chin tilting her head to the side before she smiled, well more like smirked

I froze and my face once again become red ''no, no I am not'' I said without trying to stuttering or anything, I crossed my arms shaking my head from side to side

I then heard some laughter but it soon stopped

''but then why haven't you decided'' Lee was the one to ask a question this time

''Because I don't want to burden the child with the power, and besides who says the one I love, loves me back''

''I think they do'' Shikamaru said looking at Neji from the corner of his eye

''Shikamaru you don't get to say anything'' I glared at him and pointed at him again

''wait Shikamaru knows'' sakura asked, and I nodded

''why does he know and we don't'' tenten asked

''because he figured it out when we were playing shogi, and I was going to tell you at the hotspring but someone interrupted'' as I said that I looked towards lee, and he just laughed nervously

''but you will tell us now'' sakura asked, and I nodded

''But the boys need to leave'' I looked towards the boys. They nodded and left

before Shikamaru left I told him to keep his mouth shut and Neji left after him looking upset

once the boys left the girls turned their attention towards me

''so the day started ordinary, bunch of boys walking by, its always the same old story to fresh or to kind'' I started explaining

''so fresh might be Shikamaru, Sai, Shino, and Choji so it not them'' Tenten said

''and kind is lee and naruto'' Hinata said softly and the others nodded

''I am not the type of girl to fall for a guy who flashes a smile''

''and smile is Kiba and naruto and lee so it not them''

''I usually don't fall in love but he was just too cool for school and now I've fallen for...''

''Neji'' they said simultaneously

my face turned red as I nodded, they all were squealing and hugged me

''so if the child gets the Byakugan it won't change anything'' ino said

''guys stop it I can't do that you know right, he doesn't even like me back'' I looked down but felt a hand on my shoulder

''well we won't know unless we try, you have to tell him'' sakura said with a smile

''no, I don't have the courage''

''you're the number one prodigy, you're always reckless but you can't tell him how you feel, and besides I think he likes you back'' tenten said crossing her arms

''why do you think so'' I questioned not believing Neji will like me back

''because when you were in a coma he came every day and he stayed there for more than 5 hours and went home late'' Tenten nodded remembering all the time she saw Neji here
