Chapter One
Hyuuga Neji was a boy who usually kept his temper from rising, but some things he couldn't help but become very enraged about. For example, someone stealing his hair brush. There was no way he could ever leave his house, let alone room, with bed head! Glaring at the mirror with his pale eyes he saw his usually neat and perfectly groomed brown hair frizzy and messed up. Feeling the anger well up in his stomach he grabbed his cell phone and punched in some numbers before setting it against his ear and becoming increasingly annoyed by every ring that meant his call was going unanswered for.
"Hello?" Questioned a tired and confused voice from the other line.
"Sasuke," Neji hissed between clenched teeth. "Where is my hair brush?"
"Neji, why would I know where your hair brush is?" Sasuke asked bewildered.
"It is missing, and until it's found I'm blaming you for its disappearance."
"What?" Sasuke said gaping although the Hyuuga couldn't see it. "How is it my fault?"
"It's always your fault," Neji said simply before hanging up and throwing his phone across the room. He glanced around and decided that a shower would help his situation a little and undressed before walking into the shower stall. The warm water rushing over him felt good against his skin on the cold morning and his anger receded slowly. Stepping out of the shower he grabbed a towel and slipped it around his waist walking out into his bedroom.
His room wasn't boring, but was on the plain side. It had simple white walls and wood floors. The sheets and comforter on his bed were also white. His desk and dresser were also wooden but intricately designed and had a beautiful finish on them. A laptop sat on the desk along with an Ipod and keys belonging to his car, the house, and Sasuke's house. The reason for having the last key was for when he needed Sasuke and the black haired boy refused to leave his house always complaining that four in the morning was still way too early even for morning people like himself. A television was inside the wall across from the white couch. The only furniture the Hyuuga had that was not white, was the black swivel chair in front of his desk, he had been upset when he hadn't found a white one he had liked.
Dressing in some dark blue designer jeans and a silk white dress shirt the brown haired boy wrapped his hair in the white towel before leaving and walking across the hall to his cousin Hinata's room. Opening the door without knocking he was not the least bit surprised to find the shy girl already dressed and awake. She smiled slightly at him and spoke quietly.
"Is there something you needed?" She managed to say without stuttering because she knew it annoyed Neji.
"I need your hair brush," Neji said simply with a tone that said he wanted her to go get it for him.
"Oh," Was all she said before walking into her bathroom and coming out with a brush. Her short purple hair fell forward to hide her face as she handed the brush to her cousin. "Here."
"Thank you," Neji said nodding slightly before leaving the room.
"Your welcome…" Hinata called out uselessly. She sighed before going back to the book she had been reading.
Neji walked back into his room and into the bathroom before tossing the towel off his head and grimacing as he pulled every single hair that was in the brush out before running it through his wet locks. Soon his hair was back to its usual perfection and he tied the long hair into a low ponytail. Looking at himself appreciatively in the mirror he smirked knowing how good he looked.
Leaving his room again, this time with his keys, cell phone, and Hinata's hair brush, he walked to Hinata's door opened it tossing her the brush before walking down the stairs to the kitchen. Pouring some of the hot pre-made coffee into a clean mug he sat at one of the many empty seats at the table. Most of the Hyuuga's had already eaten breakfast and were long gone. They were all early to rise usually waking up around three to four in the morning. Though none needed to it was just a habit that they had gotten into. Glancing at the clock he saw it was already five AM and he sneered causing his face to contort in an unflattering way seeing how much time he had wasted. Deciding he had no time for breakfast he slid on some shoes and grabbed his white messenger bag carrying his schoolbooks before walking out the door to his car. Even though he was only sixteen his family had seen it fit for him to have a Royals Royce and so he accepted the car for his sixteenth birthday not unused to his family giving him expensive things. After all they were rich, considering they were almost as rich as the Uchiha's, the richest family in the country. This had only contributed slightly to his ego. Most coming from the constant worship he received at school and the fact that he was more popular than Uchiha Sasuke, whom he considered his rival in social status although the other boy could care less not enjoying, being fawned over.
He drove on the almost dead roads to the Uchiha estate liking the silence that greeted his ears, it was welcome for soon he would have to listen to the screeching of girls who claimed to be in love with him. He could care less for he had no interest in them and their superficial love. They only wanted him for his money and looks. That and although no one but Hinata and Sasuke knew Neji was gay. It was hard to tell though by just looking at and observing him, because he never showed interest in any one at all. He turned into the long drive way leading up to a mansion much like his own, before stopping and flipping open his cell phone. It started ringing and he waited two rings before it was answered on the other end.
"Neji, why are you here so early?" Sasuke questioned. Usually the Hyuuga only arrived at six thirty leaving them an extra hour and a half before school began to do their duties as student body president and vice-president, Sasuke of course being the vice-president seeing as he hadn't wanted to run anyway but his fan girls filled out an application and turned it in for him.
"We need to talk," Neji said seriously and growing irritated at being questioned.
"About?" Sasuke prompted oblivious to the other's irritation.
"You stealing my stuff," Neji said tightly.
"I have never taken anything from you! Why would I steal your hair brush?" Sasuke yelled into the phone angry at being falsely accused.
"I don't know. Which is why I'm asking!"
"I didn't take it!"
"Well until we find it I am holding you responsible for it," Neji said promptly hanging up. A few minutes later Sasuke emerged from his home dressed all in black dress clothes. "Why are you dressed up?" Neji asked as the younger Uchiha opened the door and slid inside.
"Should you really be talking?"
"Just answer my question Sasuke," Neji said glaring at him before starting the car and leaving the estate.
"In case you forgot we have to go over to our sister school today, Aizu High School and the principal said to look nice."
"Don't I always?" Neji asked dryly.
Sasuke just silently nodded his head once in order to please the Hyuuga lest he wanted them to get in an accident that would only kill him and leave his best friend unscathed.
"Where are we going?" Sasuke asked.
"To the store."
"They aren't open yet," Sasuke said tired and annoyed at being pushed around.
"Oh they will be open unless they want to be destroyed," Neji said with a smirk on his face remembering the call he had made to the designer store threatening them to be open by six or else they would be facing bankruptcy. He turned into the parking lot and parked near the front since almost no cars were there. Getting out he walked up to the doors of the large and expensive looking store hearing Sasuke trailing behind him. Looking at his watch he saw it was one minute before six he stood there staring at the time until he heard the doors open before him exactly at six. He smirked in satisfactory as Sasuke scowled following him into the store.
Neji quickly found the isle he wanted and walked down it examining all they had to offer. Finally deciding on a white one he tossed it to Sasuke.
"You are paying for it," Neji began and once seeing Sasuke's confused face he elaborated. "You are being held responsible. There for you are replacing it."
"But I didn't take it Hyuuga," Sasuke said glaring.
"Then you better find out who did," Neji said returning the glare and walking past the pale boy.
"Don't worry I will," Sasuke muttered to himself in anger. "And they will pay."
After buying the brush for Neji they went back out to the car slamming the door Sasuke only received a glare as the other boy drove off to their school.
Keio High School was a top notch school for the rich and intelligent. You had to be incredibly smart or incredibly rich to get in. Hyuuga Neji and Uchiha Sasuke fit both those standards. They basically ruled the school and hardly any defied them and when they were defied that person would mysteriously have to move to a different country for unknown reasons. Sasuke and Neji were as close to perfection as anyone could be according to all that went to the school. All the floors were white marble and the walls expensive wood. It was a large square building that had three floors and a courtyard in the middle that had a beautiful garden that was well kept and benches and tables strategically set up in a design. The building was just amazing and the teachers were just as great. All had graduated from outstanding universities and were some of the best in the nation. All in all it was an excellent school.
They entered the building and went about their student council business.

Sabaku Gaara stared at the mirror before him. Inspecting his artwork critically. Nodding he agreed to himself that his eyeliner had been down in the utmost perfection. Yes he considered applying eyeliner an art. He didn't care about anything as long as his eyeliner was perfect. His bright crimson hair complemented his green eyes well while they both contrasted greatly to his pale skin. Touching his tattoo, located on his forehead, he thought of the one he loved. Smiling in a psychotic way he left the bathroom and walked into his own room opening the closet door he walked inside. In the very back of the rather large closet was a shrine. Odd objects like a pencil, an old coffee cup, and a brush were on it. A picture of a handsome boy surrounded by people and blurred sat in the frame on it. He gently touched the picture before tracing over all the other things on the shrine. His hand stopped on his most recent addiction, a white hairbrush that had long brown hairs still in it.
He smiled before glancing at the photo and frowning, he needed a better one. But how would he get one?
Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara
Neji frowned trying to ignore the talking girl next to him. She just wouldn't shut up. He was wondering if glaring at her and not speaking wasn't getting through to her that he was not interested.
"So Neji-kun I was thinking we could hang out at my house this Friday. What do you think?" A girl with brown hair in two Chinese style buns asked.
"TenTen," Neji hissed out losing his patience.
"Yes?" TenTen said smiling in a cute way thinking Neji was going to say yes.
"Shut up, you're annoying," With that said the Hyuuga went back to the book he had been trying to read before she had started her never ending chatter.
"WHAT!" She yelled standing up, anger heavily present in her brown eyes. "How dare you say that to me! I am your equal!" TenTen was the little angel honor student of the school. Well liked by all and kind to everyone, always fair and helpful. Though it was just her façade. She had planned her whole life since she had first seen Neji and heard of his wealth and status that she had to marry him. After all the only reason she was in all those stupid clubs and did all those extra curricular activities was to meet up to the standards that were required to be the Hyuuga's wife. She had decided what the standards were however.
"In case you haven't figured it out yet," Neji began turning his piercing gaze upon the girl. "No one in this school is even worthy of my attention, except for Sasuke."
Sasuke let his head drop onto his desk. This was bad. Does Neji ever think of how it sounds when he says that? Now they are all going to think something is going on between us.
"Oh my gosh! You're gay!" TenTen shrieked.
"I never said that," Neji said wondering how she had thought of that.
"There is nothing between us other than friendship!" Sasuke yelled hoping to stop the rumors before they began.
"Look he's already denying it! It must be true!" Sai yelled. Sasuke glared at his cousin, Sai knew they were only friends. Oh would Sasuke get his revenge. The boy just smiled happily and helped add stuff to the rumors that had begun to be created.
While Sasuke brooded over how his life was ending, Neji continued to read his book not caring what the others were saying. After all if he didn't like something someone said he'd just have to say so and they'd never speak again.
"Yo," Came the voice of a tall silver-haired man walking into the classroom.
The class was not surprised in the least for Hatake Kakashi was known for being late. The one time he had ever been on time was when someone set his alarm clock ahead an hour. His black eyes stared lazily looked over the class seeing that all were present he sat at his desk.
"All of you read from the beginning of your texts until the end of class and answer the questions at the end of each chapter. At the end of the week you should be finished with the whole book along with the questions. Then there will be a test on the whole unit. Hyuuga, Uchiha, you may leave now to your trip to Aizu High School. I presume you have already completed my assignment?"
"Of course," Neji answered for him and Sasuke before dragging his brooding friend with him to his car. He heard the class groan at the amount of work they had been assigned.
"You enjoy tormenting me don't you?" Sasuke asked still obsessing over the rumors.
"If you don't like it then don't leave yourself so open for me to find things to torment you about," Neji said getting in the driver's seat of his car ending the conversation as Sasuke climbed in as well. Turning on the radio a song began playing and neither spoke.
"Hey girl you know you drive me crazy Cover up with make up in the mirror Do you feel like a man when you push her around? A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect I see the way you go and say you're right again Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Face down in the dirt she says
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down
Say you're right again
Heed my lecture
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has
This doesn't hurt she says
I finally had enough
Face down in the dirt she says One day she will tell you that she has had enough Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
This doesn't hurt she says
I finally had enough
Its coming round again
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Face down in the dirt she says
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
This doesn't hurt she says
I finally had enough"
The song ended and the DJ started talking before commercials came on.
"You listen to music other than classical?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, most of the time the music is just a front I'm putting up to keep up my image."
"No offence, but you are shallow."
"I'm well aware of that Sasuke. There is no need for you to point it out."
Silence settled over them and Sasuke tried once more at conversation.
"Did you like that song?"
"The lyrics were good, but the sound was commercial. Just too similar to many other bands, and they were too boy band for my taste."
"You are harsh," Sasuke said.
"No, I'm just honest," The Hyuuga, said smirking as he turned into the parking lot of Aizu High School.
Aizu was a normal looking high school. It had three floors and was a rectangular building; the building was faded from the sun and the years that had gone past. There were trees here and there along with patches of grass, but there was no sign of any nature other than that. It was surrounded by many buildings making it blend in and wouldn't look like a school if it wasn't crowded with kids.
Neji and Sasuke walked up the concrete walkway and pushed open the aged doors walking into what they assumed to be the main office. A counter went across the length of the room with a few computers on it and a woman sitting behind one. Chairs were lined against the opposite wall
"Excuse me," Neji said politely knocking on the door before entering.
"Yes? Oh you must be the two students from Keio, welcome!" Said a woman with dark blue hair in two long braids, glancing up at them. "My name is Hayakawa Ryoko, I'm the vice-principal of this school."
Neji just smiled politely while Sasuke looked around obviously bored, though both were thinking the same thing. Why is their secretary also the vice-principal?
"Well, we'd have liked to have you meet with our own Class president and Vice Class president, but there was an accident and they aren't able to be at school today."
"Then why didn't you cancel?" Questioned Neji raising an eyebrow and thinking of how coming here had wasted his time.
"We decided to just have you meet with the top two students of our school, although they might bring Naruto along," Ryoko said glaring when she mentioned the name 'Naruto'.
"I guess that is acceptable Hayakawa-san," Neji said remembering his manners and how he was supposed to make a good impression.
"Oh and here they are," She said smiling as three students walked in from a door on the opposite side Sasuke and Neji had entered.
One was a red head with green eyes surrounded by a thick layer of eyeliner. His clothes consisted of black jeans that were a size to big for him, a tight black long sleeve shirt, and a red hoodie that had been cut in two down the front. Combat boots finished him off as he walked over his face expressionless.
The second was a girl with long black hair and piercing gray eyes. A smiled played upon her lips that didn't reflect in her eyes. Old fitted jeans with a hole in the knee on one leg and a dark blue shirt were her outfit. Black tennis shoes sported her feet and she introduced herself and the others.
"I'm Kikukawa Kyoko and these other two are Sabaku Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto."
The last was an energetic blond with expressive blue eyes and a large goofy smile on his face. His shirt was an obnoxious shade of orange and regular jeans completed his appearance. Orange converse covered his feet as he began talking.
"Why are these guys here?"
"The question is why are you here!" Ryoko yelled at the blond.
"You never said I couldn't come!" He shouted back.
"Would you have listened if I had told you not to!"
"Maybe! You never know!"
"No I do know! I have told you not to do stuff two thousand eight hundred and seventy three times this year and not once have you listened!"
"Wow that is a lot. Wait… Why do you keep count?" Naruto yelled.
"Because I can!"
As the two continued arguing the other four quickly introduced themselves.
"Hyuuga Neji."
"Uchiha Sasuke."
"Sabaku Gaara."
Kyoko watched with an amused face as the boys just stared evenly at each other.
"So?" Kyoko said trying to start a conversation. "Would you like a tour?"
Neji nodded and soon they all filed out of the office with Naruto close behind.
"Hey don't just leave me there!"
"Then don't just stand around there all day," Kyoko said. "Or if it's really that hard for you to follow us then we could always hold your hand."
"No thanks. I'm not stupid."
"Sure you aren't dobe," Sasuke said getting annoyed by the blonde's loud voice.
"What did you just say?" Naruto shouted back.
"He's not only stupid he's deaf too," Sasuke said smirking at the reaction the other boy was giving him.
"Sasuke stop flirting," Neji began. "Don't you already have enough to worry about?"
"Those rumors are not my fault. You are the one who just had to go and say that without explaining!"
"If you hadn't gotten so upset and just said that it wasn't true calmly they wouldn't have reacted in such a way."
"Hyuuga," Gaara said catching his attention.
"Yes?"
"Do you remember me?" Gaara asked looking over at the brown haired boy.
"No, should I?"
"Never mind then…"
"Ouch, that's harsh," Kyoko, said wincing.
"Wait then is he-" Kyoko's hands covering his mouth abruptly cut off Naruto.
"You really are stupid if you plan on finishing your sentence."
Naruto nodded his head in understanding and Kyoko removed her hands.
"Naruto, don't ever say anything about that," Gaara said coldly glaring at the blond.
"What are you three talking about?" Neji questioned.
"Nothing," All three replied.
Neji not really caring to begin with immediately forgot about it while Sasuke being the brooding boy he was decided to go into deep thought about it.
Gaara may have been calm and collected on the outside but inside from the moment he had seen Neji his mind was racing. It's really him! I know he lives in this city, but there are so many schools! I should have known Neji would go to an elite school like Keio though. I can't believe he doesn't remember me! How could he forget me so easily! It's that Uchiha isn't it? He stole Neji from me. His eyes hardened into a glare and for the whole tour as Kyoko explained everything to them Gaara glared at Sasuke and ignored all questions directed at him unless Neji was the one who asked them.
"Sabaku-kun, how did you manage to get the top grades, if you don't mind my asking," Neji asked having been wondering how a boy like Gaara managed to get the top scores in his school.
"I'm an insomniac so I never sleep. I just stay up and study," Gaara said. The questioning continued as Sasuke and Naruto got into a fight arguing about the color orange.
Kyoko watched amused at the two pairs of boys talking. She then grinned widely.
"I see you guys are getting along quite well, though is it appropriate to flirt during a school tour Gaara? Naruto?"
"I AM NOT FLIRTING WITH THAT BASTARD!" Naruto yelled pointing a finger in accusation at Sasuke.
"Tch, Kyoko we are talking not flirting," Gaara said looking at the girl evenly.
"But you never talk to people you just meet and answer them honestly without making snide remarks and making them appear to be fools," Kyoko said her eyes glittering with mischief.
"Kyoko," Gaara warned.
"Fine, but Naruto was flirting with Sasuke."
"Of course, it's obvious," Gaara said only sparing a slight glance at Sasuke and Naruto before looking back at Neji. The Hyuuga was definitely different somehow.
"I AM NOT!"
"We are not flirting, well at least I'm not," Sasuke said coolly.
"Sasuke you never say more than a sentence to a person before ignoring them completely," Neji said smirking triumphantly at blowing Sasuke's cover.
"Yes, but they didn't know that," Sasuke managed to say through clenched teeth.
"So? Should I care? It's your own fault."
"Why is it always my fault?" Sasuke's eyebrow began twitching and Neji only stood there staring at the Uchiha.
"Because I said so."
Sasuke growled in frustration and stomped off. Kyoko and Naruto hurried after him in order to make sure he wouldn't get lost in the building.
"So?" Neji prompted after a minute of silence between the two.
"Do you really not remember me?" Gaara asked.
"No, I didn't have any idea you existed before I came here today."
Gaara kept a straight face and began walking once more. Inside he was furious. How dare he forget me! After all I've done! He promised me! He can't be with that Uchiha. He's mine. Gaara's eyes darkened for a moment before going back to their blank look. He couldn't let the Hyuuga know how angry he was.
"Did I know you? I was in a car accident and had amnesia. I still don't remember some things about my past. Though if something were to jog my memory I'd probably remember. What was I to you?" Neji questioned slightly interested.
"You were my childhood friend, my only friend."
"I was your… friend?" Neji asked. He had been told that he had no close friends as a child. Why would his family lie to him?
"Yes, you were," Gaara said. "Anyway the tour is over, you can leave."
Only then did Neji notice he was back at the entrance of the school.
"It was…nice to meet you Sabaku-kun," Neji said politely.
"Gaara."
"What?"
"Call me Gaara, after all I still consider you my friend," Gaara said smirking slightly.
"Okay, Gaara," Something felt familiar from saying the name. "I'll see you around." He then proceeded to walk down the steps to his car where the black haired boy stood waiting.
"Sooner than you think."
"What was that?" Neji asked.
"Nothing," Gaara said walking back into the building.
Neji shrugged and walked over to his car.
"It's about time, we might be late now," Sasuke said getting into the car.
"It's your fault. You had to be a drama queen and run off like that."
"I was at the car before you!"
"It would have saved time had we stuck together," Neji said simply as he started the car and drove off to his own school.
Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara
Gaara leaned against the door and took a deep breath.
"Wow, you never mentioned how hot Neji was," Kyoko said coming out of the main office with Naruto right behind her.
"You also didn't mention his bastard friend," Naruto said still pouting over being teased and flirted with by a guy.
"It is none of your business," Gaara said pushing past them.
"None of our business? None? At all? Even after all these years we've listened and helped you obsess over him and he's not our business?" Kyoko asked slightly irritated.
"He's…different…" Gaara murmured.
"Is that good or bad?" Kyoko said.
"I'm not sure yet," Gaara said beginning to walk away.
"Well people change, even you've changed since we met you."
"I know," Gaara said becoming annoyed by the girl. She was making too much sense for his liking.
"You should give the new Neji a chance. You might come to find you like him even more than the old Neji."
"I didn't mean he changed in that way. He's just…a lot more attractive…"
"Wait, you mean to tell me that he's just gotten hotter and sexier? He's still the same personality wise?" Kyoko asked in disbelief.
Gaara just nodded and continued walking.
"Now way! That is too weird!"
Suddenly he stopped walking and Kyoko curiously stood there waiting for a reaction.
"Uchiha Sasuke, he is my competition."
"Oh really?" Kyoko said now getting really interested.
"He is too close to my Neji."
"So Neji belongs to you?"
"Yes," Gaara said glaring into the gray eyes glaring right back into his own green ones.
"Is it obvious that I'm gay?" Naruto asked clueless to the conversation he had interrupted.
"YES!" They both yelled angry at being stopped.
"What? I was just asking. No need to yell," Naruto said pouting.
"YOU THREE! GET TO CLASS!" Ryoko yelled from the office door. "IF I SEE YOU SKIPPING AGAIN EXPECT A WEEK OF DETENTION!"
All three went to their class without speaking. Even Gaara didn't dare threaten their vice principal. She knew things about them even they didn't know. No one wanted to be on her bad side.
Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara
"So, how are we going to go about 'Operation make Neji fall in love with Gaara and stop being Sasuke's boyfriend because he is a bastard and boyfriend stealer'? And can we change the name it's really long," Kyoko complained not wanting to have to write that all on her notebook. They were all at her house lounging in the large living room.
"Hey I came up with it!" Naruto yelled. "Are you saying it's bad?"
"No. I'm just saying it's too long!" Kyoko yelled back.
"Operation make Neji Gaara's no matter what," Gaara said suddenly.
"Okay, it's shorter and doesn't include Naruto's lover boy Uchiha," Kyoko said snickering.
"I DO NOT LOVE THAT BASTARD!" Naruto yelled before stuffing ramen in his mouth.
"Someone is in denial," Kyoko said. "Anyway, what's the plan boss man?" Kyoko leaned back into the chair growing steadily bored of the lazy atmosphere.
"I need a new picture of him."
"Umm, so are we going to go ask him for one?
"No," Gaara said smirking. "We are going to steal one."
"No! No way! We almost got caught last time and I had to flirt with that one guy to get him to let me into the house so I could unlock the door for you, so you could find Neji's room and steal his hairbrush. Never again, I hope you realize that I know have to go on a date on Friday and then tell some stranger that I just want to be friends."
"I would have had Naruto do it, but he didn't want to wear the wig," Gaara stated uncaring of Kyoko's situation.
"Naruto," Kyoko growled out dangerously. "This is all your fault!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Shut up," Gaara said stopping them. "It's Uchiha's fault."
"What?" Kyoko said confused.
"Okay," Naruto said happy the blame was no longer on him.
"How the hell is it Uchiha-kun's fault?" Kyoko asked still confused.
"It's always his fault," Gaara's gaze darkened.
"You just don't like him," Kyoko said frowning. She decided she was not going to mention that her friend from Keio had told her that Neji and Sasuke were just best friends and nothing more. It would make it much more amusing for her.
"I hate him," Gaara said standing.
"Where are you going?" Kyoko said following him. Naruto was still eating and decided against following so he could finish his ramen.
"My house," Gaara said. As they walked to Gaara's house just down the street a cute black cat walked up to Gaara meowing and rubbing against his ankle. He picked up the cat and continued walking. Kyoko had a funny feeling that she knew what he was going to do to the cat and even though she'd rather not watch, she was still curious to see if she would be right or not.
Gaara's house was nothing special. It was a one-story house that only had a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. The paint was a faded white and peeling. The yard consisted of weeds and dead grass along with some trash. Kyoko followed Gaara into the house and her eyes widened as they walked all the way through to his backyard. There stood a fairly large tree and dead animals were hanging from it.
"Oh my god! That is Mrs. Wilson's missing cat! Is that a dog or a rat? Ewwww they are rotting!" Kyoko said her nose wrinkling in disgust at the horrible smell.
"Isn't it pretty?" Gaara said smiling in a way that made him look insane.
"Uh, maybe to you. I personally don't enjoy looking at dead animals."
"This cat shall join them," Gaara said extracting a pocketknife from his pocket.
He slid the knife out and smiled at the innocent and completely oblivious cat. Kyoko's eyes widened before clenching shut as the knife torn the fragile flesh on its head apart before breaking through the skull and slicing the brain. The cat screeched in pain and shook its legs flailing wildly scratching Gaara a little as he dropped the dying cat. Soon later it lay still on the ground and Kyoko began screaming.
"You killed it! You killed it! You just fucking killed a cat!"
"So?" Gaara said clearly not seeing what bothered her so much.
"You. Killed. It." She said breaking it down for him. "As in you just took its life. Doesn't that bother you?"
"No."
"How can it not?" Kyoko asked staring at the dead cat horrified.
"You killed your cat, I don't see the difference," Gaara said wiping the blood and brain residue on an old piece of cloth he had picked up off of the ground.
"I didn't murder my cat! He caught on fire and kept running away from me so I couldn't help him!" Kyoko yelled defending herself. "I didn't purposefully kill him like you did to that poor cat!"
"Does it really matter? It was a stray and was going to die soon anyway. I just ended his life a little early."
"That is sick," Kyoko said. Surprisingly she wasn't shocked Gaara did something like this. However she was horrified to find she didn't mind that Gaara killed animals as much as she should have.
"You'll get over it," Gaara said picking up the limp cat and tying a piece of thin rope around it. The rope had already been hanging from the tree. He let go and moved back to admire his work. The dead animals all swung slightly in the breeze and he smiled to himself before dragging Kyoko back inside with him. "I feel better now."
"I don't," Kyoko muttered.
"My plan," Gaara began. "Infiltrate Neji's school and steal a photo of him."
"Genius! I can get us in," Kyoko said with a wink.
Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara Neji Gaara
"Ugh, Gaara why are you so heavy?" Kyoko asked boosting Gaara higher up. He was trying to climb over the tall brick wall.
"I'm not heavy, you are just weak," Gaara snorted offended at being called indirectly fat.
"Whatever," Kyoko said lifting him higher so he could get over the wall. He jumped to the ground and was glad he managed to land on his feet. "Remember you only have a half an hour before they lock the school down. So hurry!"
"Okay," Gaara said before stealthily moving through the school grounds going completely unnoticed. He thanked his stalking skills for that. He reached the main door and walked through hurrying to the main office. Making sure it was empty, for school had ended two hours before and the clubs had ended recently. All that were left in the building were students cramming or doing student council duties. He went into the office and made it into the back room. Searching he found a filing cabinet. Pulling on some gloves he opened it and sorted through the alphabetical files until he found 'Hyuuga, Neji'. He opened it and found a picture of a straight-faced Neji staring out blankly at the viewer. Well, it's better than my other one.
Gaara grabbed it before replacing the file and leaving the office.
"What are you doing here?"

Please review! I hope you all liked it. Tell me what you like and don't like about it. If you mention how cruel I am to have Gaara kill animals I will just ignore it.
