Chapter 4- How an ally appears
Disclaimer:NOT MINE.
AU
Well, it's been a week since that 'Drunk Incident', the good things is because of that incident, Neji have forget about the so called "fantastic news" for, lets say 25 minutes?
Because, after Gaara dropped him, Ino his friend who also a model, mentioned the famous news to him again.
It annoys him so much in which the annoyance also shows in his performance these last weeks.
However, this time, he has problems more imminent than that. He observes his cell-phone. He just received phone call from Sasuke, who invites him to go to their "celebration". He recalls their earlier conversation.
"What's the matter, taking all the problems to call me?"
Neji could hear Sasuke exhale desperately there. 'He's not the one who supposes to be desperate here!'
"Nej, I've been thinking. I know that my act towards you is wrong."
Neji is just silent hearing that.
"I know that I should tell you sooner, and you have the reasons to know that."
"Who teach you to speak like this?" said Neji, knowing that Naruto perhaps had told him to be nicer.
"That's not the point."
"So what's the point?"
"There's a gathering tomorrow, a few friends will come. I hope that you could come."
"Is that some kind of celebration?"
"It's…umm… well you can say it like that."
"I'm not going,"
WHOOSSH, you could feel the autumn wind blows here.
Both of them covered by silent after Neji's reply.
"Nej, you are my friend, despite all my acts to you, I really thinks so,"
-Ends of recalling that events-
Neji falls to deep thought.
'Should I stay?
Or should I go?'
Gaara is working on his business tender in his study, when suddenly his phone ringing. He just wants to ignore it, but something just told him to pick it up. Who is the prick that bothers his time? Without looking for the caller id, he pick it up.
"Hello,"
"Gaara! How are you?!"
NARUTO! His heart seems stop for a moment.
"Gaara?"
I'm not ready for this! Gaara was just about to hung up the phone, when..
"GAARA!! ARE YOU STILL THERE ICE KING?!!"
Hearing Naruto's yelled like that, automatically Gaara hold the phone again.
"Yeah!"
"Good, coz I thought that you will hang up the phone."
'I did.'
…
…
"Aren't you going to ask my condition, Gaa?"
"You sound really, really happy to me,"
"Haha, you're back to your old self, pal. Rude,"
"I do, as always,"
"As a matter of fact, I'm not."
"About what?"
"My way of being…, It won't be good."
"Why, something's wrong with your boyfriend?" asked Gaara hopefully.
"No. But something is wrong with my best friend."
Gaara just quiet after hear it.
"Gaara, I won't be happy if you're continue to act like this,"
"Like what?"
"Like an unhappy, jealous and overprotective father."
"Frankly, I do. I am an unhappy, super jealous overprotective "friend" right now," he purposely emphasized the friend thing.
"But I hope you can be happy for me,"
"I can't,"
Naruto exhale desperately.
"Gaa, there's a little party at the Avenue tomorrow evening, I hope you could come,"
Gaara is silent for a moment then, "I won't."
"Gaara," said Naruto desperately, "I… Just remember that I can never be happy if you're like this, you're my precious friend Gaa. You always be."
Then Naruto hung up the phone.
From the last line, Gaara can feel genuineness. But,
'Can I ever think of you just as a precious friend, Naruto?'
Gaara is watching the situation inside Avenue carefully and inwardly cursing.
'Which is little party? It seems that they had invited 30 people over! And my siblings too' (actually there's only 15 people inside, but for Gaara it IS a lot)
He feels really stupid right now. He can not bring him self to enter the place and join the party. On the other hand, he also can not leave right away. He really is torn between two choices.
While observing the circumstances from the window, he walks around the wall and successfully stepped into someone's hand.
"OUCH!"
"WAAH!"
"Watch where you are going!" said that somebody abruptly, then..
"Eh," "You?"
"What are you doing here?" asked Neji.
"What are YOU doing crouching down there?" reply Gaara.
"Thinking over something," said Neji while getting up, dusting off some unseen dirt from his white trousers. "You?"
"Same," answered Gaara.
They continue their observation for about 5 minutes, when Neji finally asked.
"Hey Sabaku, are you invited in there too?"
Glancing over Neji for a while, then Gaara grudgingly answered, "Yes."
"So do I,"
"Why don't you go inside?"
"Na-ah, don't want to."
"Same as me,"
Then something inside Avenue fully catches their attention. It seems that all of the guests are talking about something funny and then they cheered together.
"?" Gaara and Neji.
Suddenly Sasuke grabbed Naruto and kissed him in front of everyone.
"WHAT THE *&#!!?" yelled both of the displaced persons.
"That Bastard!" "That Moron!"
After cursing at the same time, both of them eyed the other.
"Who the hell are you talking about huh?" Gaara said darkly.
"That stupid fishcake off course, how dare he kiss Sasuke like that?" cursed Neji dangerously.
"WHa? Hah, are you blind, that SISSY guy is the one forcing Naruto!"
"No! It must be that kuso-gaki that makes him do that!"
"Why Naruto would-"
"Everybody would!"
"Eew, why everybody wants to kiss that jerk?" asked Gaara incredulously.
"Sasuke is not a jerk!"
"Off course he is, he forces a kiss on Naruto!"
"Shit! I'm tired talking to you!" exasperated Neji, while his inner side actually agreed on Gaara.
"Like I don't!"
Both averting their face to other things, unfortunately that thing is to the scenery inside the Avenue, which still covered by lovey-dovey atmosphere.
Grumble…
Grumble…
Complain…
Suddenly an idea struck Gaara.
"Hey, I guess that you… have a feeling for that je- I mean, Uchiha?"
"I do," answered Neji instantly, more because of his rage.
"Then.., do you want to collaborate with me?"
"Huh? What for?" said a confused Neji.
"Breaking them up."
Neji paused, study the look in Gaara's face and watch the scenery again. Seeing Sasuke hugged Naruto happily.
'You can not just toss me aside, Sasuke.'
"Certainly," said Neji with a smile.
AN: Actually I want Gaara say 'do you want to cooperate with me?' But then, where's the title? If I write so, it should be Impure Cooperation! And that title is so NOT cool
Finally they join forces after… WHAT Four chapters? ACK, I accidentally made this so long. Hahaha, so tell me what you guys think.
Plus, I think that Gaara always get the cool lines or sentences.
Also that Gaara-Naruto relation is more sincere then Neji-Sasuke. Or at least that's what happens in my head. What you think about that?
SPECIAL AN: Anyway, sorry for the delay. I got caught by competition, test, paper and new-awesome pair recently. So, I forgot to update this story. Sorry for all the reviewer and reader out there (if any) who wants to read the new chapter. Hope this will satisfied you. Review please??
