There's Something about Neji: Random Scene

Here's Part 1. and Part 2 of this verse.

 Neji opened his eyes to sterile white and bit back a groan at the pungent smell of chemicals as he sat up. He turned to the side, hoping for something to break the monotony of the room.

Unlike all of his previous stays at the hospital, his bedside table was empty.

“Looking for something?” Tenten asked. Seated on the visitor's chair, with bandages peeking out from her collar, she stared at him with knowing eyes.

Neji didn't reply. There was no point in trying to deny anything.

Tenten was always too sharp when it came to him. “It's not like you even thanked him for all the bouquets over the years,” Tenten said with a pointed look. “I certainly wouldn't bother sending you anything more no matter how injured you got.”

Neji turned his head back to the ceiling, so that he wouldn't have to see the empty bedside table or his unhelpful team-mate.

“You should be more honest, Neji,” Tenten said with a chiding tone. “Especially since he's more of a catch than you.”

Neji narrowed his eyes at her.

The door opened, breaking their staring contest.

Harii stood at the entrance, wide and concerned eyes darting around and calming only when they landed on Neji.

Shooting Neji a pointed look, Tenten stood, “It's about time I got back.”

It had taken a fair bit of convincing before Hideo allowed Harry to come along to the source of the disturbance. Towards what Hideo had been certain was a very angry Sasuke.

A rather normal occurrence in Sound, apparently.

But instead of a violent and annoyed Sasuke at their destination, a giant purple snake loomed above them, hissing incoherently as blood dripped down his jaw.

“That's not Sasuke, right?” Harry asked with a cautious tone.

“That is Manda, Orochimaru's main summon,” Hideo explained, a tone of worry clear in his voice.

“That's my father,” Trouble hissed at the same time.

“Your father?” Harry repeated with a frown, wondering if he would have preferred snake-Sasuke instead. “This can't be good.”

Trouble tried to sink down under the collar Harry's shirt and would have if Harry hadn't grabbed a hold of him.

“Did he eat Sasuke?” Suigetsu asked, trying to sound amused instead of unnerved.

Manda turned to them. “Where is Orochimaru?”

Harry wondered if he was cursed. He glanced at Hideo, saw that he wouldn't get any help from there and took a deep breath. “He's dead.”
