*Shikamaru's Dorm: Shikamaru & Naruto*
It had been two weeks since Shikamaru had gotten into the fight with Orochimaru, and nothing had happened, so he'd finally relaxed, which Naruto was grateful for.
Naruto was sitting on Shikamaru's bed, legs folded in front of him, his hands on his ankles as he watched Shikamaru pull on a clean shirt, having just gotten out of the shower. Naruto noticed that, although Shikamaru wasn't extremely muscular, he was very well toned, and watching the water roll down the lines of his six pack had almost made Naruto jump him, which was something Naruto would never do.
Shikamaru ran his fingers through his hair, and pulled it up and tied it like he always did, then looked at Naruto. "Let's go get something to eat," Shikamaru said slipping his feet into his shoes.
Naruto hopped up eagerly, and wrapped his arms around Shikamaru's right arm, leaning his head against Shikamaru's shoulder.
"What's with you? You're extra clingy all the sudden," Shikamaru said ruffling Naruto's hair.
"I love you," Naruto said as they walked down the halls. "You're amazing,"
Shikamaru laughed and a wide grin form on his face. "Why thank you," He said looking down at Naruto. Naruto grinned up at him, then stood on his toes and pressed his lips against Shikamaru's wrapping his arms around Shikamaru's shoulders.
Shikamaru was surprised at first, but quickly adjusted, kissing Naruto back, stepping until Naruto's back was against a wall, and Shikamaru braced himself by putting a forearm against the wall over Naruto's head. Naruto opened his mouth, and Shikamaru moved his tongue into the warm wet mouth he'd been invited into hungrily. Naruto's eyes fluttered closed and he moaned softly arching his chest out so it touched Shikamaru's.
Shikamaru closed his eyes and put his other hand on Naruto's neck firmly, deepening the kiss, stepping a leg between Naruto's, making him jump slightly at the sudden friction.
Naruto pulled away with a gasp for air, and Shikamaru leaned his head back exhaling slowly.
"I think I'm gonna need another shower," Shikamaru said. "Only cold now," He added looking down at Naruto who started laughing. "You really think that's funny?"
"Well it is," Naruto said looking up at Shikamaru. They both laughed for a few minutes, then leaned in, kissing again.
*Neji's Dorm: Neji *
Neji laid on his bed with his hands behind his head, and Shino's scarf over his face. 'I've turned into a complete freak...' Neji thought closing his eyes and sighed heavily, before inhaling deeply then sat up, Shino's scarf falling into his lap. ' I've never been so messed up over a person before,' He stood slowly folding the scarf carefully and stuffed it into his hoodie pocket along with his hands and walked from his dorm. It was late, so not many students were out, except for fourth years who didn't have curfews and a few lower class men who didn't care if they were caught. Neji walked over to the pond, and started walking around it, something he did when he tried to clear his head, but now it wasn't helping.
Neji leaned his head up, to look up at the half moon, but his eyes caught something else in stead. Shino, sitting in a tree, leaning back against the trunk, hands resting against his stomach. How he managed to fall asleep in a tree and not fall out was a black to Neji. But Shino looked completely comfortable, the scarf had fallen away from his face, revealing once again his pale beautiful face which was relaxed in sleep, Shino's eyes were closed, without his dark glasses to cover them.
Neji shift and sighed walking over to the tree and pulled himself up onto a nearby branch and took the scarf from his hoodie pocket and wrapped it around Shino's hands so it wouldn't blow away.
Shino's lips twitched in his sleep, and his hand wrapped around Neji's, causing the older boy to freeze and look down as Shino's bright green eyes flickered open.
"What are you doing?" Shino asked quietly.
"Returning your scarf," Neji said and Shino looked down and blushed covered his smooth cheeks.
"Thank you," Shino said and looked at Neji.
"Sorry for being an ass," Neji said and Shino smiled softly.
"You're not an ass," Shino said. "I'm just not used to.... attention,"
"Sorry," Neji said sliding his hand away from Shino's.
"Don't be," Shino said quietly and Neji looked up at him again. "If it's from you... It's nice,"
Neji was in shock, his heart was racing, and he stared at Shino.
"You're gonna fall if you're not careful," Shino mumbled.
"Would you try and catch me?" Neji asked stupidly and Shino laughed, ' God he's got a beautiful laugh...' Neji thought.
"Sure, why not," Shino said looking at Neji. "But it's better if you just don't fall," He reminded.
"I'm already falling," Neji said. Shino stared at him intensely and then leaned forward, his lips brushed against Neji's softly.
Neji's body felt like it was on fire. He leaned into the kiss, tightening his grip on the tree branch he was sitting on with his legs, and reached forward, and tangled his fingers in Shino's hair, and deepened the kissed needfully. Shino moaned softly and closed his eyes.
Shino had only ever been kissed twice, both kisses stolen away by Neji, but Shino couldn't find himself caring anymore.

*Pool: Gaara, Sai*
Gaara shot out of the water and grabbed the side of the pool, throwing his head back and gasped for air, his eyes closed tightly. Ripples ran through the pool, making water splash out nearer to Gaara, and waves died down towards the other end of the pool.
"Oi, you alright?" Sai asked kneeling down in front of him. "What's wrong with you today? You haven't been nearly as fast as normal,"
Gaara shook his head, still panting and put his forehead against the tile. "I don't know, I just feel so breathless, my chest is tight.... I go under the water and I feel like I'm drowning even thought I know I'm not," Gaara said.
Sai frowned. "You're still in love," he said and Gaara looked up at him. Sai sat down and put his legs into the water. "When I started dating Itachi, he was a lot like Sasuke is now, I went through the same thing with Itachi,"
"How?" Gaara asked pulling himself out of the water with trembling arms, and sat next to Sai.
"I love him" Sai said. "I just gritted my teeth and kept pushing until Itachi was ready,"
Gaara ran his hands over his thighs as they started to tense. "I can't do that," Gaara said. "I've never been able to stand around and let myself just get hurt all the time," He said.
" I don't blame you," Sai said. "I'm not telling you to go back to Sasuke, not until you're ready, and if you want to..... But I am telling you that it's not gonna be easy to get over things with Sasuke. After all you've gotta see him everyday and there's always gonna be a connection between the two of you,"
Gaara gritted his teeth and exhaled sharply leaned forwards so his chest was against his thighs and tried to breath, but his breath just came in short painful gasp.
Sai put his hand on Gaara's back, and massaged softly. "It's gonna be alright. Just try to relax and breath,"
Sai looked towards the bleachers, where he knew Sasuke had been hiding for a while Sasuke stared for a while, gripping the side of the bleachers so hard his fingertips bleed, then rushed from the pool. Sai looked down at Gaara, who had his arms pressed tightly between his chest and his legs. Gaara's eyes were shut tightly and tears leaked from them and Gaara leaned his head back gasping for air.
"Oi, oi, none of that, breath," Sai said rubbing Gaara's sides.
"It hurts," Gaara sobbed and covered his head, gripping his hair tightly. Sai frowned and stood, picking Gaara up and walked over to the bleachers long enough to grab a towel to put around Gaara's shoulders and carried Gaara back to his dorm. "....H-hurts," Gaara's toes curled in pain and Sai rubbed his side.
"I know," Sai said quietly. "Don't worry, I'll call Kankuro," He said setting Gaara down on his bed. "Just try and relax," Sai said.
Gaara rolled on his side, his legs pressing into the mattress and his hands clawed at the bed. Sai rubbed Gaara's side until he finally stopped, falling asleep and his body relaxed. Sai sighed heavily fixing the towel on Gaara's shoulders then pulled his phone from his jacket pocket and dialed Kankuro's numbed.
"I think you need to get down here," Sai said.
"What is it?" Kankuro asked.
"Gaara," Sai said.
The line went dead, and Sai knew that Kankuro would be there as soon as humanly possible.
Twenty minutes later, the door opened roughly and Sai looked up at Kankuro, still dressed in his football pads.
"He's been asleep since I called," Sai said as Kankuro pulled off his shoulder pads and tossed them onto the floor.
"He have trouble breathing again?" Kankuro asked walking over to the bed and knelt in front of it, and ran his fingers through Gaara's hair.
"Yea," Sai said.
"I'm gonna kill Sasuke," Kankuro growled not taking his eyes off his younger brother's face.
"Kankuro," Sai said.
"No, you know about Gaara, this is gonna get him sent back to the hospital again," Kankuro said. "I can't let that happen to him, not again. I promised him, he hates the hospital," Kankuro gritted his teeth and put his forehead against Gaara's.
Sai closed his head and rubbed his arm.
"This is all my fault," Kankuro muttered. "I told him to go out with Sasuke, I told him it'd be okay," Kankuro said.
"You can't control the way other people act Kankuro," Sai said.
"I trusted Sasuke not to hurt my brother," Kankuro said. "I was stupid and thought that someone else could take care of Gaara instead of me, and now I know that it's impossible, because everyone is just gonna end up hurting him," Kankuro's shoulders shook softly and Sai looked away, knowing the last thing Kankuro wanted was for someone to know he was crying.
*Itachi's Dorm: Itachi & Sai *
"You seem distracted," Itachi said running his hands up Sai's arms as Sai leaned against his chest.
Sai ran his fingers over the edge of the book he held and looked out the window. "I'm sorry," Sai said quietly.
"It's about Gaara isn't it?" Itachi asked leaning down and pressing his lips against Sai's bare shoulder.
"Yea," Sai muttered. Itachi sighed heavily, placing kisses up the side of Sai's neck.
"It's not your fault," Itachi whispered.
" I know," Sai said.
Itachi shifted his legs around Sai's and rested his head on Sai's shoulder blades. "Did I really make you feel the way Sasuke makes Gaara feel?" Itachi asked quietly.
Sai looked down at Itachi's hand that gripped his own tightly. "Yea," Sai said.
"I'm sorry," Itachi said.
"It's okay," Sai said. "You made it up to me with two years of perfect happiness," Sai lifted Itachi's hand to his lips, and pressed his lips against the back of Itachi's hand and closed his eyes.
Itachi wrapped his arm around Sai's waist tightly and exhaled shakily. "I'm sorry," He repeated and pressed his lips against the center of Sai's shoulder blades, breathing in the warmth from Sai's bare skin. "I'm sorry,"
Sai put his free hand over Itachi's arm that was around his waist, rubbing his thumb back and forth over it. "It's alright," Sai whispered.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
*Hospital Room No. 518: Kankuro & Kiba *
Kiba watched Kankuro, knowing something was wrong by the look in his eyes.
Kiba shifted nervously, then moved over on the bed onto his knees and wrapped his arms around Kankuro's shoulders, resting his head on top of Kankuro's. Kankuro reached up and held onto Kiba's arm closing his eyes and leaning against Kiba's chest.
"It's okay," Kiba whispered. "Whatever is wrong, it's gonna be okay," Kiba said and Kankuro tightened his grip on Kiba's arm. "It's gonna be okay,"
Kankuro shifted and looked up at Kiba. Kankuro put his hand lightly on the back of Kiba's neck and pulled him down softly, pressing his lips against Kiba's. Kiba kissed him back softly, putting his hands on the back of Kankuro's head, tangling his fingers in Kankuro's hair and shifted so he was straddling Kankuro's lap. Kankuro nipped Kiba's bottom lip and Kiba's lips parted, Kankuro slid his tongue into Kiba's mouth touching ever part. His hands moving onto Kiba's waist to hold tightly.
Kiba moaned arching his back slightly so his face hovered over Kankuro's, breathing heavily and slowly and looked into Kankuro's eyes. Neither one moved for a long while, just staring into the other's eyes, then their lips crashed together in a more heated passionate kiss. Kankuro's hands ran up Kiba's sides, lifting his shirt; Kankuro ran his hands over Kiba's chest, rolling Kiba's nipple between his fingers, making Kiba moan against his lips.
The door opened and they pulled away quickly.
"Well now," Kakashi cleared his throat. "It's time to go now Kiba, Kankuro, the paper work is finished,"
Kiba stood slowly, blushing brightly and fixed his shirt and Kankuro stood a few seconds later and followed Kakashi out to the car. They sat together in the back seat, hands clasped together resting on the seat between them.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
*A Wing Hall: Sasuke, Kankuro *
Kankuro grabbed Sasuke by his throat and slammed the smaller boy into the wall and brought his fist down on Sasuke's face. Sasuke didn't try to fight back, but looked at Kankuro as he swung again hitting Sasuke hard in the jaw.
"Oi! Kankuro stop! You're gonna kill him!" Neji said trying to pull the large teen off the youngest Uchiha without luck.
Kankuro threw Neji back and threw Sasuke across the hall and into the lockers. People crowded around and watched as Kankuro stormed over and grabbed Sasuke lifting him off the ground and slammed him into the lockers.
"How the fuck can you even live with yourself?" Kankuro growled and Sasuke looked at him, blood dripping into his eyes and from the corners of his mouth. "Do you have any idea what the hell you did to Gaara?!"
Arms wrapped around Kankuro and pulled him back. "Stop now Kankuro," Itachi said as Kankuro struggled against him. Even though Itachi wasn't as fit as Kankuro, he kept the large teen in his grip.
"Let me go Itachi," Kankuro roared.
Sai went over and knelt next to Sasuke. "You gonna make it?" Sai asked.
Sasuke stood slowly and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, glanced once at Kankuro, then pushed his way through the crowd, limping and nursing the most likely broken ribs.
"LET GO!" Kankuro roared and Itachi let him go. Kankuro turned and swung at Itachi, who blocked the punch aimed for his face.
"Oi! Kankuro!" Sai lunged, wrapping his legs around Kankuro's chest and wrapping his arms around Kankuro's head. "Knock it off before you do something stupid," Sai said though gritted teeth, as Kankuro thrashed back hitting Sai into the wall. "Think about Gaara, he needs you next to him, not beating your friends," Sai said
Kankuro struggled for a few more minutes then relaxed closing his eyes and Sai set his feet on the ground and let go of Kankuro.
"Get lost, nothing to see here," Itachi said to the crowd that still hadn't left. Kankuro slumped against the wall and ran his fingers through his hair and gritted his teeth. Sai bent down in front of Kankuro, his arms folded against his stomach.
"What the hell are you staring at me for?" Kankuro mumbled.
"I thought you weren't gonna beat the hell outta Itachi's brother as a sign of friendship," Sai said cocking his head slightly.
"I changed my mind," Kankuro said. "Fucking cocky lil' brat's acting like nothing fucking happened," Kankuro gritted his teeth.
"It's not true," Sai said. "Sasuke's been trying really hard to change,"
"It's not fucking good enough," Kankuro said.
Sai looked over his shoulder at Itachi. "Things take time," Sai said. "Things that are important, ne?"
Kankuro gritted his teeth again. "That lil' shit's not important," He stood and stormed off.
"Thanks for keeping him from bashing in my face," Itachi said and Sai leaned his head back to look at Itachi.
" Well I couldn't let him break it," Sai said then stood. "Besides, beating the shit out of each other, isn't gonna help fix the problem,"
"You're right," Itachi said.
