Here it goes! Another short chapter, but hopefully this one will explain some things.
-----------------------------------------
From a tree about 20 feet away, Neji watched as the two began to fight over what had just happened. He laughed as quietly as he could manage.
'Stupid fools, completely defeated at their own game,' he chuckled.
-------------------------FLASHBACK--------------------------
Neji was just on his way back home from his morning jog when he heard a whispered conversation. Curious as to who was standing outside his home at 6:30 in the morning, Neji had crept forward to listen.
"…A bit strange, but I am going to pretend to be your girlfriend!" exclaimed a girl's voice that Neji did not recognize.
"Wh-why would you do that Mio-chan? I am sorry, but I am already in love!"
'I know that voice! It's Lee!" Neji almost laughed, as he thought of Lee having a girlfriend. For some reason, it just seemed wrong.
The girl laughed, "I know that Lee! That's exactly why we're doing this! I figured out that you have fallen for Neji-kun." At this point Neji just completely stopped listening,
'Lee has…fallen for me?'
" …If he sees that you are dating me, then he'll get jealous and finally admit his feelings for you! Some people are like that, they don't realize how much they want someone until that someone is taken!" she proclaimed proudly.
"You know, that actually does make sense," Lee murmured. Neji couldn't believe it. Lee was actually going along with this, AND he thought that he could trick Neji into loving him!
'Well Lee, I won't be the one who gets fooled, for two can play at that game!' Neji quickly jogged away, leaving the two unknowing conspirators to their plans. He took the long way around and entered the mansion from the back gate. He was definitely going to enjoy this…
--------------------------------END FLASHBACK--------------------------------------
"I can not believe that you just kissed Neji-san!" Lee practically screamed.
"I'm sorry Lee! I didn't expect that to happen! I promise I'll make this right!" Mio rambled on for a while about possible courses of action, but was cut off by Lee's anger making itself known.
"This whole plan was just stupid!" Lee yelled, "No scratch that, it worked perfectly! We did make Neji jealous, and he did fall in love! He just picked the wrong person! This is just great! I can not believe this! How could I ever be foolish enough to think that Neji-san would like me! I am a boy! He obviously likes girls! I might have considered that before I tried this!"
"Lee! You're not acting like yourself! Calm down, I'm sure this is all just a mistake! I'm sorry! I said I'll fix this and I meant it!" Mio tried to reassure him, the way he was acting was so strange, she'd never seen him blow up like this, and it was scary.
"Oh, damn right it was a mistake! A huge mistake!" Lee stormed off in the general direction of his apartment. He needed some time to cool his head, before he totally lost it. Just as he was approaching the end of the forest, he was stopped by a person jumping down from a tree just ahead of him.
"What's the hurry Lee?" Neji asked.
"Oh! Uhm, what are you still doing here?"
"Waiting," Neji replied simply.
"For Mio?" Lee questioned bitterly.
"No, for you," Neji whispered alluringly. Lee's eyes widened,
"What did you just say?"
----------------------------------------------
Haha sorry for the semi-cliffy! Now does Neji's behavior make sense? He was being a biatch! Well, actually he was getting revenge, hopefully I will make the next chapter waaaaaaaay longer, this one is only like 564 words long!. Anyway, the next one should have some NejiLee lovin, if I can get the guts to write it. Reviews will greatly help my seal my conscience! Until next time!
