Disclaimer: If only I owned Naruto...screw ninja's every episode would probably end up an AU lol it'd be worse than Excel Saga.
Touch
Chapter 2 Nice is Such a Relative Term
Shadows cover your face
Dark smoke emitting from your bleeding soul
Loneliness seems to lace
Your fake cheerful smile
Walking down the streets you seem to lean to one side
As you let your legs take control
Your eyes are closed
And you don't even care where they're taking you
Neji awoke suddenly, after such a long journey he'd fallen asleep after laying down on the comfortable bed, he hadn't meant to drift off like that and now it felt like sauna in his thick clothes with sweat pouring from his pale skin making them stick to him.
Hot blood pumped down into his extremities like they always did when he felt warm and lying on the bed felt like being on hot coals, quickly he began to strip off his dark blue jacket, black shirt and anything else he thought would cool him down by removing them leaving only his white shinglet and black pants.
"Hey don't mind me just continue stripping in public I need some entertainment" Neji heard a slightly feminine sounding voice behind him say; he turned to see a what appeared to be boy about 17 years old which long brunette hair standing in the door way.
"And you are?" Neji asked a little coldly, his mind still foggy after just waking up...he never had been much of a morning person. He wondered why his eyes were hurting when he realized the lights had been switched on filling the previously blackened room with a flood of artificial light.
The boy noticed Neji peering over towards Shikamaru's bed "My name's Kirino Haku, oh don't worry about him it's only natural light that's 'troublesome' to him speaking of Shika he might be blind but Gaara and I aren't so if you're going to be stripping on regular basis you would want to use the curtain" Haku said sighing " anyway it's dinner time so do you two coming?"
"Why are you people being so noisy?" Shikamaru asked sitting up on the bed.
"Because there's food now come on!" Haku said jumping up and down.
Shikamaru scowled "Ok does anyone know where the Haku we all know and love is and who replaced him with this Naruto clone?" he questioned rubbing his forehead.
"Who's Naruto?" Neji asked Haku following the older boy out of their room.
"You'll know when you see him!" Haku whispered squeamishly "get ready here he comes..."
Neji looked at his room mate puzzled and said "...Get ready for what?" before he felt something or someone spear tackled him into the ground.
"Urgh meet Naruto one part fan girl two parts ramen addicted freak unfortunately all parts idiot..." Haku said smiling to the nearly concussed Neji who was lying on the floor holding his stomach and head in pain.
"NARUTO HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO GLOMP PEOPLE BAKA YAROU" a high pitched female voice screeched at the blonde.
"Ehhhhh I sorry Sakura-chan ehehe" Naruto laughed nervously as a pink haired girl stormed over towards the group.
"Naruto!" Sakura growled "What should we do with you? burn him at the stake No I agree he deserves worse! but Kakashi-sensei did say no hurting people anymore Ok..." she seemed to have stopped her monologue and turned back to Naruto who was shaking in fear "Naruto your punishment for this indiscretion will be...No Ramen For Two Days!" she announced with a sadistic smile before appearing calm.
"Hi" she said nicely to Neji "I'm Haruno Sakura nice to meet you" she smiled cheerfully shaking his hand politely only to pull him in close to her whispering in his ear "do NOT mess with me if you do you will disappear got that!" he nodded silently a little perturbed "Good! Then I'll see you at dinner bye" she leaned back appearing nice and polite again before leaving.
Mean while Naruto was quivering in corner crying over all the ramen he wouldn't be able to eat "Ramen...why...Sakura-schan must you be so cruel! I was only trying to be friendly..." he sobbed.
"Ok now that was weird..." Neji mentioned
"She has schizophrenia and DPD don't worry she never backs up her threats, the one's you really have to watch out for are Sasuke-san and Gaara-kun... occasionally Lee as well he's weird like that" Haku explained smirking but Neji still looked worried "You aren't afraid of someone with pink hair are you Neji-chan? Ne?"
"Why does everyone have to be goddamn insane?" Neji exclaimed and hang his head sighing.
"Oh you think we're insane just wait till you meet the rest of staff" he joked patting Neji on the back in sympathy.
"Why do I have a sudden sense of foreboding?..." Neji asked himself.
"Why am I surrounded by idiots" Shikamaru muttered under his breath as he pasted them already reading a new novel.
