Ok so this is my first Nera fanfic.(First Naruto Fanfic too) That's Neji and Gaara, (I had no idea that's what it stands for. All these names whew! confusing.)
So um yea it's yaoi, nothing happens in this story "yet" but I guess I'll warn you ahead of time if the chapter contains lemon.
------Disclaimer!------I DON"T OWN ANYTHING FROM NARUTO-------(I wish.. but ya no...too bad)
Oh, and there's some Sakura bashing in this story. Sort of. If you like Sakura I'm sorry! But it's not that I hate her, I just didn't really like her in the beginning of the show so I sorta take that on her and personally I think Sasuke and Naruto belongs together.
--SO BACK OFF SAKURA!!!--
sorry...um I really don't hate her I just...bleh
OK!!! That's enough talking! Don't let me block you from reading the story! Read on and Review please! Tell me how you like it any suggestion on how you want the story I'll see if I can do it! I'll even make little side stories if you want. If you have any other pairing suggestions I'll take it to mind! Thanks!
Oh, and I would like to tell you this girl that calls me a brownie even though I'm not brown (wth? I know...) "pressured" me to hurry and put this story up. She said forget the grammar and all that boring stuff and just put it up. So if I have any names wrong or spelling crap wrong I am deeply sorry.
Ok now! That's enough really! I'll see you at the bottom!
...Happy reading...
"Huh..." Where is he? Lunch is already over... Damn, I have to keep a better eye on him. I looked at the clock on the wall for the 4th time. He's 10 minutes late. Agh! I stood up from my desk rudely and accidentally slammed my palm on the desk a bit, I hardly cared.
"Huh? Hyuuga-san?" The sensei, Iruka, said quizzically, pausing from writing on the chalkboard with a book in his hand.
"Bathroom." I simply said and left the classroom room without hearing his answer to my statement. That idiot must be on the rooftop again!
"How many times have I told him not to go outside around noon! Why doesn't he listen?! I-"
"Neji-kun!"
"Wha-?" I looked around. "Sakura?" I do not have time for this. Not for her pathetic squealing.
She gasped. "Were you looking for me? I'm sorry I'm late! Let's go back to class together, Neji-kun!" She grabbed my arm and giggled.
This is Sakura. The scary pink hair freak of the school. She's boy crazy and seem to think every boy in school likes her. No matter how mean you treat her, she'll forget about it and pretend nothing happened.
"Let go, I don't have time for you."
"Neji-kun! Ohhh! Don't be so meeeean!" She whined.
"I am not in the mood. Let.Go." I shoved her aside. I started up the stairs as she whined again. "Nejiiiiiii-kun!" I didn't mean to be so rough on her today, in fact I just wanted to get through the day without even seeing or hearing her pathetic squealing and freaky pink hair. But like I said I don't have time for her.
I ran up the last flight of stairs and slammed the door to the rooftop opened.
"Gaara?!" No answer."Dammit."
I walked around the rooftop, looking for that red head. He had to be here. Where else could he be? "Gaara! Answer me-?!? Gaara?!" I spotted the back of his head behind the staircase room I just came out of. He was on the ground.
"Gaara!!" I ran over to him immediately and held his head up. His eyes was closed. Oh god, no. "Gaara, hey! Wake up! Gaara!" He eyes popped open, he closed them again and shook his head a bit, then sat up. He placed his hands on his face and rubbed his forehead.
"Goddam, Neji, what do you want?" He kept one hand on the ground to prop himself up.
I gave an exasperated sigh. "Nothing, god."
"What? Disappointed I'm not dead?" He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes again.
"Huh, I wish." I leaned against the wall next to him and closed my eyes too.
We lied there for a while until it struck me. When was I able to get this close to him? Side by side, next to him. I felt a heavy head land on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and looked down at Gaara. Fell asleep again. I smiled just a little bit.
He looks so adorable when he sleeps, how long did it take for him to trust me? He didn't used to sleep like that. Ha, heck no. He would kill you if you try to make him sleep. Those black mark around his eyes is never going to go away, it's a sign. A phase in his life he won't forget but also a phase he won't stay in. My cute red head punk. I thread my fingers with his and closed my eyes again.
This is such a nice breeze.
...Flashback... (3 months ago!)
"N-Neji-kun!"
"Hmm?" I turned around from my desk. Hinata. "What is it?" I asked
"Uh, they want you downstairs..." She whispered.
"What?"
"They want you downstairs..." She said just a bit louder.
"Hinata-san. Please speak up. I can't possibly hear you when you're talking to the floor so quietly!" I was shouting now. I was not in the mood.
"I'm sorry! I said they want you downstairs!" She looked at me now, trembling and eyes glazed with tears.
"Sigh Alright, just say so." I got up and pushed past her. As I was walking away, I heard her start crying quietly and muttered a silent 'I did...' Didn't mean to yell at her. I just wasn't in the mood today. I went downstairs and saw Hiashi sitting in the living room with Tsunade and Shizune .
"Been a while Neji. Good to see you again." Tsunade said with a smile.
"Same to you, Hokage-sama." I bowed.
"Sit down Neji." Hiashi said to me. I nodded and sat down at the table.
"We were just discussing about a mission I have for you. Since you don't have school during the summer." I nodded again to show I was listening. "I need you to go the the Hidden Sand country and take care of a certain patient."
My eyebrows furrowed. "Why? Don't they have their own doctors? Besides I am not a-"
"Neji! Do not speak unless told to!" Hiashi hissed at me. (Sorry! Apparently I made Hiashi into a mean old bean again!)
"That's fine Hiashi. He's only curious. They have this special patient there. He's the kazekage of the country and... apparently there's something very wrong with him. He can't seem to get his chakra out right. Not only that, he seem to be having some rare coughing disease. He's been having it for months and his people and advisors are very worried about him. I think it may be a something clogged in his lungs, maybe. I'm not sure but, because of your clan's ability to see chakra flows. I want you to take this mission and go escort him here. That way you can see to it that he is okay. Since you'll be able to see his chakra flow, you'll be able to take care of him on the way here."
"Why don't you send someone else? I'm busy." I said.
"Neji! Don't question-"Hiashi started to say.
"Neji." Tsunada cut him off. "I believe this will be a good experience for you and being "busy" is not a excuse to not accept a mission. This is important. Are you not going to take up this mission because you're not up for it? You can't do it? Is that it?"
"You can't provoke me. Hokage-sama. I don't want to go." I raised an eyebrow and stood up from the table. I turned away and was walking away when she started to talk again.
"Neji-san. I know what's wrong with you. You've probably been very skittish lately and life seem to feel like shit right now, am I right?!"
"Hokage-sama!" Hiashi exclaimed. She raised a hand at him and stood up from the table. I stopped and jerked my head a bit and turned around. What is she talking about?
"Let me guess, life doesn't seem complete, something always seem to be missing, and everyday just seem too painful to get by. Right?"
I opened my mouth to speak but she cut me off. "Not only that, you seem to always want to do something but never seem to find what you want. Everything you do seem to have no reason or point to it. You go to sleep every night with some seemingly unfinished business that bothers you in the back of your mind. You wake up with the pained feeling of having a horrible nightmare of never finding something! The same feeling that everything you have seem to be utterly worthless! You find no comfort in the people around you and you constantly get annoyed by small things! You want to scream out the pain but can't, because ,you, yourself have no idea what the hell is happening! You want to tell someone but considering I know you so well, Neji-san, you're not exactly the type to console with someone just because you have some stupid little problem in that messed up little head of yours! Besides that, no one would listen to you anyway because the way you act towards everyone lately makes them stay a mile away from you!"
I blinked when it looked like she was finished. "That was the longest thing you've ever said to me." I said quietly
"Yea, I know. Wow, I really outdid myself this time." She wiped her forehead and sighed a short one. "Man, I surprise myself sometimes..." Then she sat back down.
"But, hey, whatever. You don't want to do it? I'll get Hinata to do it alone. Doesn't seem like you're capable anyway. Besides at least I won't have to yell at her."
"No, I'll do it. If you believe it's good for me." I said.
"Huh. Finally come to you're senses? I don't know whether it's good for you or not. Decide that yourself."
I scoffed. "Right. Wait, Hinata? Alone? Does that mean she's-"
"Yep, she's coming with you. Got a problem?"
"... No...but-"
"Good, Hinata, come on out will you?"
"H-hai!" She whispered forcefully as she came out from behind the door.
"Great..." She was here and heard everything. I sighed.
"Uh! I-I don't have to go Hokage-sama! N-Neji-kun can do it himself I'm sure!" Hinata stammered.
"No, no! I need you to be there to report EVERYthing that happens. You guys leave at noon. Get ready. They'll tell you guys what they want you to do once you get over there. Go on."
"Uh, ok!"
"Hmph." I left and ran to my room. Then I lied down on my bed. How did that old lady know everything?
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"Tsunade-san, how did you know all those-" I asked.
"I didn't." She said
"Huh? Then how-"
"Just felt like the right thing to say at the time. I hit the mark, right? Who cares what you say. As long as he took it to heart. Besides doesn't all teens go through this kind of phase in their little teen life. Boohoo. Anyway, as long as Neji goes on the mission, oh well. I know something good is going to come out of this. Trust me. That Neji needs a good whooping."
"Hah. Are you serious Tsunade-sama? So that's how you got to him. I can't believe he bought that. I CAN'T believe I bought that. Oh man. Why do I follow such a evil...mmmphm..."
"What? Evil WHAT?!"
"Uh... Nothing nothing nothing! Hahaha?!? Ha?"
"Alright then! Now let's grab a few beers on the way back! You're paying! Hahahaha!" She ran off.
"WHAT?! Again?!"
Ok! So how you like that for my first chapter! I think it's coming out ok...

Yea um the whole next chapter is going to be a flashback too! The brownie calling girl don't like flashbacks but you know! You gotta know what happened!

---------------------------------------
"What the hell you have weird eyes." I pointed out to the red hair lying down on the hill I just passed a minute ago to get water.
"Huh?! Me?! Look at you! I can't even see your eyes!" He answered as he looked up at me.
"Yea, you can! I just don't have pupils!" I answered. What's wrong with him! Can't he see that?!
"Whatever!" He scoffed as he stood up. "Same thing!"
"Huh?! What's the same thing in that?! You little punk!"
"What?! Who you calling a punk?You...YOu...YOU..."
"HA, what an idiot you can't even find a come back."
"Shuddup bitch!"
"Hey! Who you calling a bitch?!"
"Who else?! Wanna fight bitch?!"
