Konnichi Wa!
This is my second Naruto Fanfic – once more a continuing chapter fic.
I published this on the same day I published my first – The Eighth Celestial Warrior – check it out after this if you want to.
Warning – Smut in other chapters, definitely some yaoi – it's a SasuNeji fic after all… and a lot of cursing. And I mean A LOT!
So if you don't like that stuff, don't send me any flamers about it – you shouldn't be reading it in the first place.
I hope you like it everyone! Reviews will be greatly appreciated!
Masashi – DDB, how many times must we go through this?
- looks around uncertainly – but it's only the second time…
Masashi – JUST SAY IT, DAMN YOU! OR THE DEAL IS OFF!
- WAH! OKAY! OKAY! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS! JUST THIS FAN FICTION! – looks back to Masashi – Can I have Sasuke and Gaara and Kakashi now?
- The three mentioned walk in – What's this about us?
- smiles at them – Oh, Masashi-san said I could have ALL three of you for a month if I said I didn't own Naruto!
- Sasuke and Gaara pale. Kakashi grins insanely. – Wonderful DDB. What do we do first?
- beams at Kakashi – we go get some food, and then we watch Neji and Sasuke make out on the couch!
- Sasuke stares at writer. Gaara stares at Sasuke. Kakashi chuckles evilly. -
Sasuke – but I thought you said it was just I, Gaara and Kakashi! Where does Neji come in?
- smiles at Sasuke – Neji heard you were coming over, so he volunteered to come spend the month with me too. – Sasuke's jaw drops while Gaara sniggers. – writer looks over at Gaara – Oh, and Gaara? Yeah, don't laugh – Naruto's coming over here to screw you as we speak. – Kakashi rubs his hands together evilly while Gaara goes even paler. -
Kakashi – so I trust you have a video camera?
- grins at Kakashi – You know it! And I got TWENTY clean rolls of film!
Sasuke and Gaara – TWENTY!
- smiles at the two – Yep! Twenty! And I expect all of them full to bursting, otherwise I'll make BOTH of you screw Anko in one of my fanfics! – Sasuke and Gaara look at each other, eyes wide - - Kakashi claps writer on the back -
Kakashi – you have been the perfect student.
- bows – Thank you, so-damn-hot-and-perverted-teacher-Kakashi.
- Sasuke and Gaara look at each other and wish they had the guts to kill themselves. –
So that's my disclaimer. I was a little high when I wrote that… - sweat drop – oh well, on wid de FIC!
Crystal Globe Prison
Chapter One – Hiding Behind the Masks
"Sasuke." His name was breathed softly. "Sasuke, it's time to get up." A hand was pushed into the other's face in response.
"N – go 'way. Five more…" He went to sleep again. The other surveyed his closed eyes.
"Sasuke," he persisted, shaking him. "C'mon. Get up or we'll be late."
"N-way," came the mumbled, half-conscious reply. "Well just run then." The other glared at Sasuke. He was patient – sure – but being 'patient' with the bedamned Uchiha was worthless.
His hand snaked around Sasuke's back, and with a long, sure finger, pressed a pressure point.
The Uchiha was up with a yelp, and the other caught his head before their skulls cracked together. The Uchiha glared at him, now fully awake.
"Neji!" He spat. "Dammit, why the hell did you do that?" Neji surveyed him.
"Because you wouldn't get your ass up! Now hurry or we'll be late!" Grumbling, Sasuke complied.
They left the apartment, toast in hand.
"So where's this place again?' He asked, nibbling on his toast. He was never much of a breakfast person. Neji glanced at the address as they began walking. A few minutes passed before he replied.
"Not that far – the complex is supposed to be huge – there's no way we could miss it." Sasuke – who was looking at the map from over Neji's shoulder – tripped over something imaginary and fell forwards, slamming his forehead against a cement sign with an audible crack. Neji gasped.
"Sasuke!" He kneeled down beside the other, who was on his knees and holding his head. Sasuke glared at him.
"Baka!" The other snapped, a hand on his throbbing forehead. "It's Sanaku in public!" Neji cursed silently – he had forgotten. But he couldn't help but smirk – the first thing out of the Uchiha's mouth wasn't an 'ouch'. It was a fuckin' insult and criticism.
"Sorry… Sanaku." The name felt foreign on his tongue as he helped the other up. "Are you alright?" Sasuke shrugged him away, a hand still on his pounding forehead.
"Stupid Goddamn sign!" He hissed, kicking the cement with the bottom of his foot. Neji read the sign.
"Uh… Sanaku?"
"What!" Sasuke spat. Neji looked up.
"I think we're here." Sasuke's gaze followed Neji's to the colossal building, stating proudly, "Konoha University" in huge golden letters on the main building's face. They could only stare for a moment.
"I feel small," Sasuke commented.
"Hn," Neji replied. Sasuke looked at him.
"C'mon, Tetsunoro." He said Neji's false name with a smirk. "Let's go – masks up." Neji nodded, and the walked up the stairs towards the huge glass doors.
"Everyone!" The professor called to the class. "We have two new students today! They're new to town, so please welcome them warmly." He motioned with a hand and the two boys came into the room. "Please meet Sanaku Poanah and Tetsunoro Norimoshi." Sasuke cast Neji a quick glance.
Time to act… Tetsunoro. The other nodded a fraction of an inch.
Yes… Sanaku.
There were murmurs in the class as the two forced themselves to smile warmly.
"Hello everyone!" Sasuke cooed, wanting to gag. "It's nice to meet you!"
"It's very nice to meet you all," Neji chirped happily, fighting to keep his smile a smile and not a sneer. There were scattered 'hi's and greetings. Sasuke and Neji knew the other detested this.
I hate Orochimaru. They thought in unison, nervous smiles on their faces.
The professor smiled at them.
"So Sanaku, Tetsunoro – tell us about yourselves." Sasuke laughed, nervously scratching the back of his head.
"Do we have to? I'm never good when it comes to speeches!"
"It doesn't have to be a speech – just a thing or two about you – your hobbies, likes, dislikes, hopes, nothing in particular." Neji saw the fist at Sasuke's side clench, and knew Sasuke was fighting against strangling the poor bastard. He took a step forward.
'Here Sensei – I'll go first," he offered quickly. Sasuke glanced at him and smiled. Inner Neji sighed in relief. On the outside, he smiled widely. Dammit, my jaw HURTS! "I am Tetsunoro Norimoshi, and I just transferred to this University. I like listening to the rain, taking long walks in the park, and reading non-fiction." The professor nodded.
"Very well. Sanaku, your turn." Inner Neji sweat-dropped. That man just doesn't know when to quit!
God give me the strength not to rip this TEME limb from limb! Inner Sasuke raged. On the outside, he pouted.
"But Sensei! I'm always so nervous in front of new people! I'll completely embarrass myself! Surely you understand!" His voice had turned into a soft whine, and his finger had twisted around a loose, black bang, his face becoming one of the cutely distressed, his cheeks faintly flushed. Inner Neji blushed ferociously. God – he's made for me fall for him all over again!
His inward blush was reflected on the professor's face.
"Alright Sanaku – alright! You don't have to share anything about yourself!' Sasuke gave him a happy, slightly flirtatious smile.
"Thank you so much Sensei! God bless!" He bowed slightly. The professor stuttered something incoherent, and cleaned his glasses. Sasuke and Neji glanced at each other.
Why can't you always be like that? Neji asked through the glance. Sasuke's eyes turned sharp.
Shut up or I'll kill you too. His eyes threatened. Neji's eyes became mocking.
No you wouldn't – you LOVE me too much. Sasuke looked away.
Shut up. Neji stifled a laugh, and Sasuke shot him a dark look.
"Alright Tetsunoro, Sanaku," the professor managed to gasp out. "You will be taking seats next to Temari and Kanakuro. You two raise your hands."
They did. The two siblings were on the opposite sides of the room.
Sasuke and Neji flicked their eyes at each other before moving, Sasuke taking a seat next to Kanakuro and Neji Temari.
"Hey there," Kanakuro greeted as Sasuke neared. "The name's Sebaku no Kankuro." Sasuke forced himself to smile broadly.
"Poanah Sanaku. Nice to meet you," he replied before taking a seat. Kankuro surveyed him silently. Sasuke sat with his hands in his lap, fidgeting nervously. Sasuke would have ignored Kankuro's gaze, but Sanaku wouldn't have. No – the bastard just would have blushed underneath the gaze, so he made his cheeks turn a faint red. He could feel everyone's eyes on him. Murmurs about his looks broke throughout the girls, and a few more moments passed. He smiled nervously at Kankuro, sweat-dropping.
"Um… excuse me… but… why are you… staring at me?" And what the hell is with the paint job? You some sorta fucked up clown? Kankuro smirked.
"You know, you look a lot like a girl." Sasuke was at a loss for words at the moment. And you look like an idiot who got into a fight with a fuckin' paintbrush and lost! Say that again, you asshole! His nervous smile widened. Awe, dammit – suck it up Uchiha! Don't blow it!
"Oh really? Wow, I didn't know. No one's ever say that to me before." And you better not say it again, you little clown-faced punk! Kankuro's smirk widened.
"You even sound like one, too." Sasuke's knuckles clenched in his lap. Who does this jackass think he is?
"Wow…" he forced himself to say. "I never noticed…"
It was then he realized that Kankuro was much closer to him than he remembered. He felt himself turn red and he tried to shy away as Kankuro stared at him intensely.
"Yep, definitely a pretty boy. Are you sure you're a guy?" He set his hand on Sasuke's chest and patted it for good measure. Sasuke crushed the tempting urge to reach up and shatter all the bones in that clown bastard's hand. Neji, Goddamn you, HELP ME!
He began to shake. He hope it looked like it was from nervousness. His face flushed.
"Please stop…" he murmured. Kankuro grinned at him.
"You're cute – waddya say we go do somethin together after school?" Sasuke's nails dug into his palm. What kind of fucked up question is THAT, you jackass? I swear to God – you're so DEAD after this is all over! You're lucky I can't KILL you now!
"How can you possibly have the guts to ask me that after you insult me?" He asked the other. "That's cruel Sebaku-san." Kankuro's arm snaked itself around Sasuke's shoulder. His blush deepened.
"I'm just like that. C'mon – you MUST be free afterwards." Sasuke raised a hand and set it on the inside of Kankuro's shoulder, pushing him gently.
"No – really – it's true! I'm busy today! I'm sorry!" Now get your fuckin' clown arm off me or I'm gonna crack it in TWO! Kankuro grinned widely, pulling Sasuke closer. Sasuke looked up at him – at his clothed but still vulnerable throat, fighting the overpowering, tempting urge to reach up and snap the bastard's neck in half.
Something slapped Kankuro in the head. He winced and took his arm from Sasuke.
"Hey, what was that?" Sasuke leaned over and breathed a huge sigh of relief. When he straightened, Kankuro was glaring at the table. "Stupid Gaara," he muttered. Sasuke blinked and looked down at the table.
Knock it off Kankuro. That was the message written in sand on the table built for two. Sasuke blinked.
"Wha…? Sand?" He asked. He looked up.
A boy with blood red hair was looking their way, his eyes having a dark, thick outline and being a deep jade. Sasuke blinked. The guy doesn't have any eyebrows…
"Who's that?" He asked a pissed-off Kankuro.
"That's my little brother – Gaara." Sasuke blinked again, then looked back at Gaara.
"Gaara?" He murmured. "Sebaku no Gaara. Of the desert…" he smiled. "That's a nice name." He made eye contact with Gaara, and nodded to him. Thank you Sebaku no Gaara. Gaara nodded back and turned to the professor. The sand slid off the table and down to the floor. "Your brother's cool," he told Kankuro, reminding himself to keep acting. "A little creepy… but cool." Kankuro 'hmph'ed and looked away.
"Sanaku?" He blinked.
"Ah – yes Sensei?"
"Can you tell us the answer to the problem on the board?" Sasuke made a little 'huh' sound and looked at the board behind the professor. The long, complicated problem would have taken at least ten minutes with pencil and paper, but Sasuke solved it in his head in less than two.
"X is 3," he answered. "The angles are 10, 22 3/7, and 15 5/14!" The class murmured amongst themselves.
"Wow – he solved it so fast!"
"Yeah – he's really smart!"
"He didn't even write it out!"
"Amazing!" Sasuke pretended to be immune to the praise, sitting down as if nothing had happened. The professor cleared his throat.
"Very good Sanaku! Tetsunoro, your turn! Second question!" Neji stood up, answering a question of equal difficulty. Unlike Sasuke, however, he had worked it out on paper.
"The answer is 6," he replied coolly. "X squared is 77 and y squared is 101." Murmurs broke out again.
"Wow – he's so cool!"
"I saw him working on the problem – he was so fast!"
"Yeah – and he's so good looking! Both of them are!"
"I'll say!"
"Settle down everyone! Settle down!" The professor called, slapping his pointer against the table. "Very good Tetsunoro – excellent! You know your stuff!" Neji simply nodded, staying seated. Kankuro nudged Sasuke.
"Both of you are so smart!" He murmured. "How do you do it?" Sasuke blinked.
"How do I do it?" He thought for a moment, then shrugged. "I don't know – the problem wasn't that bad." It's because I'm SMART, you dumb ass clown!
Nothing else happened that period.
End Chapter One – Hiding Behind the Masks
Okay, let me explain. Neji and Sasuke are ninja, but not of the leaf village. They are ANBU ninja of sound, and are on a mission from Orochimaru. Survive within a crystal globe illusion for an entire college school year without anyone discovering their secret. If they don't, then something bad happens that I can't tell you right now! – shrugs apologetically – Kankuro and his siblings are real, but the Kankuro and siblings Neji and Sasuke react with aren't the real thing – but just illusions inside this crystal globe prison. So… to put it bluntly… Neji and Sasuke have been transported into this crystal globe version of Konoha – pretty freaky, right?
Thank you for reading through all of that – when I started writing this I wasn't really sure of the storyline myself, so forgive me if it's a little shaky.
I love all my reviewers! Good criticism makes my writer's block shatter under the strain of praise!
I'll try to update tomorrow – it depends on if I'm dead or not. – chills go through the room – pray for me.
Gaara, who is tired from being screwed by Naruto – yeah, bye.
Sasuke, who is out of breath and shirtless from making out with Neji – good riddance. Get outta here! But steal that tape from Kakashi before you go!
Kakashi, who is grinning from ear to ear with rolls and rolls of used film by his side ready to be watched again and again – Don't you mean THOSE tapes, Sasuke? - looks to people - yeah – bye! Have a good life, and come back soon!
The All-Powerful Writer – Yeah! Bye! Don't die!
I look forward to all of the reviews!
Ja Ne!
