Chapter 11: An Uke Can Have 3 but Needs only 1

"Daijobu?" Sasuke asked again, his face had worry written all over it. The blonde nodded his head shakily, and obviously Sasuke didn't believe him. Sasuke tore his gaze away from the blonde and stared at the red head that was already at the end of the hall. Sasuke's eyes narrowed as a low growl escaped his lips. He saw it all... He saw how Gaara had grabbed Naruto by the shoulder, how they had spoken to each other... But what really riled him up was that bastard of a racoon had been standing way to close to Naruto and actually dared to give the blonde a kiss. At least it was on the cheek... If it were on the lips, Sasuke would have probably thrown himself at Gaara.

"S-Sasuke?"

Sasuke snapped out of his trance and looked down at the blonde with warm eyes. The blonde was staring at him with blank azure eyes...

"Yeah?" Sasuke said gently, catching Naruto off gaurd.

"U-uh.... W-we should get to class..." Naruto mumbled, looking away with a pink face. Sasuke nodded in agreement.

"Don't think you're gonna leave me behind..." Shikamaru's voice drawled as the lazy boy suddenly stood on the other side of Naruto.

"Of course not Shikamaru," Naruto said, blinking twice. Sasuke, realizing he still had his hand on Naruto's shoulder, retreated his hand to his side.

"We all have PE next right?" Sasuke asked. Both Naruto and Shikamaru nodded. "Lets go then..."

-x- -x-

Sasuke couldn't stop thinking about... Not while they walked to the locker room, and not while they discussed about the fact fact that Naruto had no gym clothes(shikamaru desided to let Naruto borrow his extra pair), and diffenitely not while they were changing.

'What is Gaara to Naruto?'

The question was haunting him. It would not leave his mind at all...

'I'm just paranoid,' Sasuke thought to himself as he slipped on his shirt over his head. 'But he kissed him.....and Naruto... But then again, he kissed him on the cheek unlike me...'

"Are you done yet? Aw man, and I thought I would be the slowest," Shikamaru said as he leaned against the lockers in Naruto and Sasuke ile. Naruto sweatdropped as he crouched down to tie his shoes, as well as Sasuke. Sasuke was glad he had been preoccupied with his troubled thoughts while they had been changing. He was sure he would have drooled excessively if watched Naruto change....

BANG!!!

"Stupid Asuma-sensei and his stupidity!!!!!" A familiar voice ranged through out the entire locker room, along with a few quieter voices that agreed with the voice. Naruto, Sasuke, and Shikamaru looked up with raised eyebrows when they saw Kiba run past their ile, looking well....pissed. The three stood there, all blinking twice. Then a really annoyed Neji walked past their ile as well... The boys turned their heads towards the entrance of the locker room when they heard the munching of chips about two locker iles away.

"Well Kiba and Chouji are here....and pretty late, how troublesome..." Shikamaru sighed. Naruto nodded.

"So is Neji..." Naruto mumbled, blinking once. "What about Shino?"

"Probably in another ile being creepy," Shikamaru said with a slight yawn. Sasuke and Naruto both sweatdropped before nodding and tieing their shoes tightly. They then began to head out of the locker room, using the back entrance.

"Shino didn't have Asuma last period right?" Naruto asked, looking at Shikamaru.

"No.... I had Kakahi....." a creepy then said behind the three once the reached the back door. Both Naruto and Sasuke sweatdropped while Shikamaru turned around and waved at Shino who had out of nowhere appeared.

"So does anyone know what we're doing in PE?" Shikamaru asked, yawning once again.

"I bet it's the usual," Sasuke said. "Running a mile, then doing some jutsu excersises, probably a fight at the end."

"Hey Kit, don't you need that slip that old man gave you?"

Naruto's eyes then widened.

"I almost forgot!!" Naruto suddenly said, before he ran down past a few lockers till he reached his. He quickly dialed the locker code and opened his locker. Naruto then began to rummage through his clothes till he found the pink slip Jiraiya had given him in his jeans pocket. Naruto sighed from relief before calmly shutting his locker shut.

"What's that?"

Naruto froze and slowly turned around to meet a pair of emerald eyes.

"G-Gaara? You have PE too?" Naruto stuttered nervously, earning a nod from the red head before him.

Why does he always appear when I'm in a good mood!?

"What's that?" Gaara repeated again, his eyes flickering to the pink slip in Naruto's hand.

"It's a dismissal note..." Naruto mumbled shyly, ignoring Kyuubi's insults towards the red head. Gaara mearly blinked and nodded to show that he understood.

"Naruto! Are you ok? Why did you run off...like that... Subaku..."

Naruto turned his head slightly to see Sasuke standing there, glaring right at Gaara.

"Uchiha..." Gaara said, returning the glare with one of his own. Naruto could see...feel the tension between the two older boys, making him gulp.

"A-ah, I forgot my slip in my locker.... so I came and got it..." Naruto replied to Sasuke's question. Sasuke looked at Naruto with warm eyes, making the blonde blush a bit.

"Oh ok..." Sasuke said with a small smile, he then gently reached out to Naruto and grabbed his hand. "Come on, Shikamaru and Shino are still by the door waiting..."

"U-un..." Naruto said, letting himself be pulled towards his raven friend...but then another hand grabbed hold of his free hand, and almost immediately, Naruto heard Kyuubi growling a low growl. "Wha?"

Naruto turned to look at Gaara with a confused but flushed expression, while Sasuke glared dangerously. Gaara returned the glare, his grip on Naruto's hand tightening.

"Let go Subaku..." Sasuke growled out.

"You don't give me orders Uchiha... You let go..." Gaara growled as well.

"What makes you think you have the right to order me around?" Sasuke said, his voice rising.

"The fact that Naruto's my friend does..." Gaara said, his voice remaing at its dangerously low volume.

"He's my friend too," Sasuke growled.

"I know him better than you, Uchiha..." Gaara growled angrily.

"You wanna bet Subaku?" Sasuke said, his eyes narrowing.

"B-Both of you are being ridiculous!!" Naruto's voice snapped both boys out of their somewhat agressive conversation. Both boys turned to see an annoyed Naruto who was lgaring at both of them.

"I'm not some piece of candy that you guys can fight over!" Naruto said angrily, tearing both of his hands away from both boys.

'Yes you are...' both Gaara and Sasuke thought, both having slightly naughty thoughts.

"You're both my friends!! And you both don't know me completely, so both of you stop your bickering!!" Naruto said angrily, crossing his arms as an annoyed expression crossed his tan features. Sasuke and Gaara reluctantly nodded, even though they were still glaring at each other. Naruto's glare softened, but didn't quite disappear.

"I think Shino and Shikamaru waited long enough," Naruto mumbled before he silently walked passed both Sasuke and Gaara. Sending one more death glare to each other, Gaara and Sasuke followed after Naruto.

-x- -x-

"WHERE WERE YOU!?!? IF YOU WERE GONNA DITCH YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME DAMNIT!!!" Kiba roared at Naruto who stood there with an annoyed look. Akamaru, who was on Kiba's shaggy head, barked in agreement. After the Sasuke and Gaara episode, Naruto went back to Shino and Shikamaru who had been joined by Kiba, Neji, and Chouji. Neji of course greeted Naruto warmly, Chouji waved, and well Kiba exploded.

"I wasn't feeling ok..." Naruto muttered, not sure if he should mention he was with Sasuke... Naruto slightly blushed from the memory.

"THAT'S NO EXCUSE!!!" Kiba yelled angrily, crossing his arms angrily. Shino then suddenly grabbed Kiba by the back of the collar of his PE shirt, and dragged the yelling boy out the back door, Akamaru, who had jumped off kiba's head, followed them. Naruto sweatdropped nervously while Shikamaru muttered "How troublesome..."

Without another word, the group of boys walked out the back door one by one, and walked a bit out until they saw Shino still dragging Kiba across the blacktop towards the grassy field.

"How come Kiba won't punch Shino?" Naruto said softly, his clear blue eyes blinking a few times.

"Shino's the only person Kiba won't beat to a pulp, mostly because Shino would surely kick his dog ass, and also because they've been friends since kinder..." Shikamaru said, blinking lazily.

"In other words, dog boy probably has a thing for bug boy..."

"Eh!?" Naruto asked with slightly wide eyes.

"For all we know they could secretly be lovers... No doubt Shino's the seme of the couple, heh."

Naruto's face slowly turned bright red as Kyuubi began to give him the Seme and Uke talk...

"Naruto, are you ok?" three voices asked at the same time. Naruto looked up with a red face to see that Sasuke, Neji, and Gaara were all staring at him worriedly. The blonde nodded furiously.

"H-hai!!" Naruto said slightly louder than he expected, earning a few raised brows. Fortunate for Naruto, more boys were leaving the locker room and were heading to where their PE teacher would me them. So the group decided they should get a move on as well, walking in the direction Kiba had been dragged to. In five minutes, the group of boys were standing among the rest of their class. The large group had broken up into smaller groups, like Shikamaru talked with Chouji, Shino with Kiba, and then Naruto with Gaara, Sasuke, and Neji. But the group became a big one again when Naruto was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.

"Hm?" Naruto softly hummed when someone tapped on his shoulder. He then smiled when he knew who it was. "Hinata, it's great to see you again..."

"Like wise N-Naruto-kun," Hinata said with a smile of her own. "How were your morning classes?"

"They were...interesting..." Naruto said softly, sweatdropping slightly.

"Hey Hinata," Sasuke suddenly greeted Hinata.

"Hello Hinata-sama..." Neji greeted as well. Hinata returned their greetings with a polite 'Hello', but she then eyes Gaara curiously.

"Hinata, this is my friend Gaara," Naruto said with a smile. Gaara merely waved his greeting while Hinata smiled and waved back. Naruto frowned slightly, thinking if he should scold Gaara for his lack of social activity...but he wasn't the one to talk...

"GOOD MORNING CLASS!! I expect you all had a wonderful youthful break!" the most annoying voice Naruto has ever heard in his life rung through his ears. Naruto turned around only to see something just plain...disturbing. A man around hid mid forties...stood before the class. He had thick eye brows, his strangely shiny hair was in a bowl cut, and he had blinding teeth. ...But what disturbed Naruto the most....was that the man was wearing a green spandex...and a green vest to go with it...

"Th-that's Gai-sensei?!" Narut stuttered softly. Everyone around him nodded with a scowl, except Hinata of course. Naruto gulped.

"Anyways!! I've decided we should start the school year with a few laps around the field!! You know, to power up our youthful muscles!!" Gai continued, but then he held out the clipboard Naruto just noticed he had been carrying, and pulled out a pen from one of his vest pockets. "But first we'll take role!! Aburame?"

"...Here...." Shino said, after a small pause.

"Akimichi?"

"Here!"

"Akometsu?"

"Here!" a girl Naruto didn't said. Naruto ignored the next few names called until...

"Haruno?"

"Here!"

Naruto paled when that pink monster's name was called.

"Figured she'd be in this class..."

"Hyuga Hinata?"

"Here."

Hyuga Neji?"

"Here..."

"Inuzuka?"

"Here!!"

"Izuka?"

"Here." Some blue haired boy Naruto didn't know... Again Naruto's mind wandered to slightly more important things... Like what was Jiraiya gonna teach him today? Naruto frowned. He had a feeling the old geezer was going to start out with boring things...

"Lee?"

"Here Gai-sensei!!"

Naruto looked around and was horrified when the boy that raised his hand high up in the air....looked way too much like their teacher!! Same bushy brows, same bowl cut!! The only difference was that this guy's eyes were buggy and he was wearing the PE uniform instead of the green spandex.

"You think they're related?"

"Probably..." Naruto thought wearily.

"So how do you feel knowing that pink blob is in your PE class?"

"I feel sick to my stomache....." Naruto thought, frowning. "I'm just glad I'm going to be training with Ero Sannin for a while..."

"Since when did you call him that?"

"....I don't know.... Since now?" Naruto thought. "Why? Does it matter?"

"You haven't came up with insulting names for adults since that blonde woman... which was a long long time ago kit..."

"True....."

"Nara?"

"Here..." Shikamaru yawned out. The class giggled, but said nothing else. Naruto blinked when the laughed... what was so funny that Shikamaru had yawned? Naruto pondered on that thought while Gai continued taking role, soon snapping naruto out of his trance by simply saying, "Subaku?"

"Here......"

Naruto glanced at Gaara shyly, before quickly looking away before the red head noticed.

"Ten Ten?"

"Here!"

"Uchiha?"

"Here..." Sasuke muttered, luckily Gai heard it. Naruto sweatdropped when a few girls swooned at Sasuke's name. Naruto looked up at Sasuke who had an annoyed expression, but after a moment he looked towards the blonde and they locked eyes. Naruto blinked rapidly, his face going slightly pink when he stared into those dark beautiful eyes. It was like they held the very night inside them... like they were the night themselves.... Suddenly, those dark eyes squinted slightly when the raven smiled warmly and furrowed his eyebrows together...just slightly.

"Naruto..." his name was spoken by the said raven, Naruto could only blink and relished the way his name was spoken. "Naruto..."

"Huh?" Naruto mumbled when Sasuke slghtly shook his shoulder. The raven's eyes twitched, trying to hold back a chuckle, before he gestured towards Gai with his head.

"Kit.... Pay attention!!!"

Naruto reluctantly tore his gaze away from Sasuke and looked at Gai.

"For the fifth time, is Uzumaki here?" Gai was saying. Naruto felt his face warm up from embarrassment.

"U-um I'm here..." Naruto said loudly enough for Gai to here. Gai looked at Naruto with a raised brow.

"Speak up boy, or next time I'll mark you tardy!!" Gai said. Naruto nodded, his face flushed from embarrassment.

"Last but not least, Yamanaka?"

"Here!"

Naruto glanced to see a girl long blonde hair and blue eyes that were a paler shade than his own. Naruto stared at the girl for a moment, before that girl looked towards him and gave him a sly smile...like she knew something he didn't... Naruto blinked before quickly looking away.

"Well everyone's here! That's good! Now... Start you five laps!!!" Gai said, doing the nice guy pose, how Naruto decided to call it from now on... "I'll let you walk at least the first one, but the rest you have to run!"

Everyone sighed a sigh of relief before they began trudge along in small groups. Except for Naruto. Naruto timidly walked up to Gai.

"Um Gai-sensei..." Naruto said softly.

"What can I do for you young one?!?!" Gai said brightly, showing off his bright teeth. Naruto merely handed him the pink slip he'd been carrying, not wanting to say something stupid. Gai took the slip and read it with a serious expression. "Ah so you're Naruto... Hokage-sama has told me a bit about you, ya know... Very well then!!"

Naruto watched as Gai pulled out a whistle and gave it a nice good blow that Naruto winced at the loudness. The class, who had barely walked far enough for them not to hear the whistle, stopped and looked back.

"Who here volunteers to take Naruto to the gym!?" Gai said brightly. Almost immediately, three hands shot up, followed by a few slow ones. Naruto blushed when he saw who were the first three to raise their hands... He had expected probable Sasuke and Gaara to do that, but he really didn't expect Neji too.... The other hands were of his new friends. "Hmmm... Neji!! You're youthful!! Please take Naruto to the Gym, then come back immediately. For volunteering you'll only have to do three laps!!"

Now everyone else had wished they'd raised their hands, but it was too late now. Neji smiled warmly as he walked up to Naruto, unknown to the long haired boy that he was recieving to glares from a raven and a racoon.

I'm okay with anyone but that filthy racoon..."

"That's mean Kyuubi..." Naruto thought, resisting to frown.

"What did you expect from a demon?"

Naruto ignored Kyuubi as Neji was now standing by him.

"Shall we go Naruto?" Neji said kindly. Naruto blushed and nodded before he silently walked beside Neji, who again, recieved death glares from a raven and a racoon. "So why do you need to go to the Gym?"

"Jiraiya wants to do me training during my PE time..." Naruto said, looking into Neji's lavendar, puple-less eyes. Naruto remembered when he first saw these eyes, he had been really weirded out. But he got used to them...he even came to love them.... Naruto didn't know why but he liked the soft lavendar... It soothed him...like a nice cup of milk would.

"Oh I see... Well I hope you learn quick Naruto," Neji said with a smile, earning a small smile from Naruto as well. There was a short silence before Neji broke it. "Naruto...how do you feel now that you saw Gaara again?"

The question hit Naruto like a rock. Should he tell Neji? But then again....Neji knows about his relationship with Gaara... The blonde had told him a few years ago when he was 10 and Neji was 11.

"....I... I-it's weird..." Naruto mumbled. "I haven't seen him in so long......A-and.... to finally see him... I felt happy, but at the same time.... I-I felt like I was in pain... E-Especially when he asked if I were his princess..."

Yes, Naruto had even told Neji about the prince charming and princess thing... Naruto looked at Neji nervously, as the long haired boy thought.

"Do you love him?"

"Wh-wha!?!" Naruto said loudly, his face turning red. Neji gave him a serious look.

"This is serious Naruto..." Neji said firmly. Naruto bit his bottom lip and looked away. He knew it was.....

Neji's expression softened. He then gently took Naruto's hand and gave it a reassuring squeaze.

"Do you Naruto?"

"........I..I don't know..." Naruto finally said after a long time, not minding the fact that Neji had taken his hand. They were now at the gym's entrance, out of site from anyone of their class. Neji looked down at Naruto with warm eyes...

"You can tell me anything Naruto... I might give you a push once in a while....but I'll never push you away..." Neji said... Naruto stared into Neji's soft lavendar eyes, that stared back into his depths of blue.

-x- FLASHBACK -x-

Naruto sat there on his favorite swing, sadly kicking the dirt before him... Gaara would usually be here with him....he would push Naruto on the swing and they would laugh together... Or at least Naruto would and Gaara would smile... But Gaara couldn't do that anymore, he couldn't push Naruto on the swing anymore... All because he had to move to stupid Japan!!

"Naze? .... This isn't fair...." Naruto said sadly... his eyes welling up with tears again... "He didn't have t-to leave.... He didn't..."

"Why are you crying?"

Naruto gasped as he looked up with teary azure eyes to stare into puple-less lavendar eyes.

"GAH!!!!" Naruto shouted before he fell off his swing. He scrambled to his feet and pointed accusingly at a boy around his age with long brown hair. "YOUR EYES!!! WH-WHERE ARE YOUR PUPILS?!"

The boy frowned in annoyence before he crossed his arms and shrugged.

"I was born like this..." the boy muttered. Naruto blinked a few times before relaxing and putting down his hand.

"Really? ....That's amazing!!" Naruto suddenly shouted. They boy gave Naruto a disbelieving look.

"First your disgusted then your amazed?" the boy said with a scowl. Naruto frowned.

"I wasn't disgusted i was just surprised and shocked! I've never seen anyone without puples so of course I'd freak out a bit!!" Naruto said defencively. There was long pause. "....Anyways... I'm Uzumaki Naruto... or I mean!!! Naruto!! Naruto Uzumaki..."

"Japanese?" the boy said. Naruto nodded shyly a bit, earning a small tiny smile from the other boy. "I'm Hyuga Neji.... or Neji Hyuga..."

"Heehee, hi Neji," Naruto said with a bright smile, that made Neji blush a bit. "Um... you probably want to use my swing....so um I'll leave..."

Naruto then turned on his heals and began to walk away until...

"Hey... I'll push you if you want..."

"Nani?" Naruto said, his eyes wide when he turned to look at Neji. The long haired boy was looking away from Naruto, his pale cheeks tinted pink.

"I said I'll push you... That is to say....on the swing.... if you want..." Neji said, scratching his head nervously. Naruto stood there for a moment, staring at Neji...before he smiled a warm smile and nodded.

"Ii yo!!" Naruto said brightly as he trotted back and sat on the swing, feeling slightly nervous. He felt two hands on his back.

"Ready?" Naruto nodded furiously, his smile still there. "Okay then..."

And before Naruto knew it, he was being pushed, swinging high into the air, letting out melodic laughter out... while Neji merely smiled.

"Destiny is kinda funny...." Neji said as he pushed Naruto.

"Why is that?!" Naruto giggled happily.

"I never really thought fate would send me on a path to meet someone like you..." Neji said, his face pink. Naruto laughed when Neji pushed him again.

"Fate has nothing to do with it Neji!" Naruto said brightly. "This was all you!! You decided to go to the park!! You decided to talk to the lonely kid on the swing!! You...decided to become my friend..."

Neji stared at the laughing blonde, who suddenly jumped off the swing seat and soared through the air, landing on his feet gracefully not far away. Neji continued to stare at Naruto, who turned around and smiled at Neji, for a long time, until the brounette smiled.

"You could be right... Naruto..."

-x- END OF FLASHBACK -x-

"...I know..." Naruto said, a smile gracing his features. Neji smiled before he brought Naruto's hand to his lips, and gently brushed his lips against Naruto's knuckles.

"Ja(bye)..." Neji said with a small smile before letting go of a flushed Naruto's hand and walking off back to the field. Naruto blushed brightly, staring at his hand. Neji had just....kissed his hand..... Naruto sighed deeply, trying to cool down but he couldn't. First Gaara kissed him on the cheek, and now Neji on his hand, what's next!? Next thing we know, Sasuke would kiss him on the lips... Naruto blushed even harder at the thought, but his eyes narrowed in sadness... Yeah right... Sasuke would never kiss him there... And even if he did...Naruto didn't think he could handle it...

"ugh... Whatever..." Naruto mumbled before turning around and opening the door to the gym. As Naruto stepped in the gym, Kyuubi watched Naruto sadly.

"If you only knew kit... If you only knew..."

-x- -x-
