Hello, you wonderful people, I've been away for the whole weekend on CCF (Combined Cadet Force) exercise, sleeping in fields, running around in the dark, shooting things, blowing things up and getting bug bites. I am exhausted! But hey, who can legally handle a weapon now? Me! is proud Can't on one or buy one, but what would I do with it? (Please submit suggestions! lol not seriously) Anyway, coz I've been away I really haven't had a lot of time to write so I'll provide you with this cute lil' filler with all my favourite couples! (If I can fit them in) I'll post this as separate but it is kinda relevant to the plot.
Chapter 13.5
Neji continued running, he had left Iruka's apartment block very far behind by now and was nearing the outskirts of Konoha , but who knew how Naruto could react to the news. All Neji did know was that he didn't want to be around at the time he found out. Certainly not. It wasn't that he was scared, just cautious. So, Neji continued to make his way cautiously through the narrow, winding streets of the poorer districts of Konoha. It wasn't often he came down here. Only once in his relatively short life, had the Hyuuga walked in these streets. Well, ran. He was being chased by a group of older boys mocking him for his hair. Neji fingered it tenderly as he recalled being forced against a wall, and having his ponytail cut off. Of course, all five boys were in the critical ward for the next two weeks, but the incident left Neji traumatised and in desperate need of counselling . Not that anyone knew.
Neji rounded a bend, to come face to face with the very same wall, except a very different scene was playing out in front of him.
'Gaara and Lee?!' Gaaraand Lee?!'
'What is up with everyone today?!'
These thoughts were followed by a small yelp, which jerked the two shinobi out of the passionate embrace. Gaara immediately grabbed Lee forcibly by the neck and held him up against the wall.
"But G-Gaar-san", Lee choked struggling to get the words out, "you-you s-said you l-liked me, w-wouldn't it be-be best t-"
"Shut up, or I will do it for you", hissed Gaara through gritted teeth. Turning to Neji, he said with an equal amount of venom, "You saw nothing. Right?"
Neji nodded mutely, he had no desire to repeat the hair trauma. Nodding smugly in reply, the red head wasted no time in slamming Lee back up against the wall, and pressing his mouth to his.
Neji stood there for a couple more minutes, captured in a terrifying and horrible fascination. 'When do they breathe?', he wondered numbly, as he watched the two embrace each other, moaning softly as lips met. Once they did break for breath, Gaara looked around once more. "Could you please leave? If you are not already disturbed, you will be soon." Lee gasped loudly, and Neji very nearly got a nosebleed. Nearly. Turning quickly on his heel, he left, barely able to walk in a straight line.
"G-Gaara?", asked Lee tentatively once Neji had stumbled gracefully out of sight.
"Well, I think that got rid of him nicely don't you?", said the Kazekage, grinning almost manically, "Now, about my eyebrows..."
