Minatachi's P.O.V.

"Alright, everyone in the van, lets go."

"Why are we sneaking out of this giant house like we're criminals or something?" Inojin asked.

"Because Teechi's daddy opened his big mouth and now everyone's on lockdown." Shinki said throwing his stuff in the car and getting in. I didn't say anything, just put my hood up and got in the very back of the car next and sat next to Hima. Inojin followed me and I scooted over so I was in the middle of them.

"You wanna get wammied again Shinki? Keep talking like that and that's what you're asking for!" Hima yelled at him, he stuck his tongue out at her but cowered away. Hima snaps her fingers and everyone's scared at her. It's so fucking annoying. I put my feet up on the seat in front of me and crossed my arms, just hopping I could disappear.

My dad's a murderer. He took someone's life. I don't care what the circumstances were, it's wrong. You can't just kill someone and not get punished for it! I mean they're probably locking him up in shackles and hauling him off by now and I'm just supposed to go to soccer camp like nothing's going on? How am I supposed to feel about that? I'll tell you how I feel I'm pissed! I'm pissed at him for not telling us, I'm pissed at Dad for just accepting it, no questions asked, and I'm even more pissed that Mikoshina thinks she can just treat me like a child, ship me away to soccer came, and deal with in all herself. I'm sixteen now, I have my sharingan, I can help! But no, I'm just the little baby Uchiha that needs to be dealt with, thrown in the corner so the adults can fix things.

Not only that, but I'm trapped in this stupid van, with the stupid Hyuga kids, going to stupid soccer camp. There's supposed to be college scouts there, and with my junior year coming up, this is the perfect opportunity to get noticed for scholarships, get closer to my dream of being a pro soccer player but… That all just seems so… unimportant. My parents are right now trying to make major changes to the justice system in the five nations, my sister is protecting the five most important people in the world, and I'm going to soccer camp? That's just… lame on my part. Maybe I should be doing more.

But how can I possibly do more, when I can't even stand to my own bullies? Shinki hasn't shut up since last night. Calling me Teechi, teasing me about this, teasing me about that. Hima sticks up for me, but that just means I can't stick up for myself. I thought getting my sharingan was supposed to make me strong and powerful, but all it's done is made me scared and a target. I don't know what to do. I stand up all I do is get pushed back down to the ground.

"You okay MT? You've been quiet." Inojin asked me. His eyes were really concerned. I hate how concerned he is about me, like I can't take care of myself.

"Fine." I mumbled.

"Well we all know what that's code for. I mean I wouldn't be okay either, finding out my father's not only an ex prostitute, ex porn star, but now murderer too? I'd be going out of my mind." I was going out of my mind, probably more than Hima or Inojin could ever understand.

"I don't want to talk about it." I groaned.

"You don't want to talk to us about anything anymore." Because talking about it just makes me feel worse. It's already bad enough I have to talk to Dr. Iruka, I don't want to have to talk to my friends about it too. I just want them to be my friends again, not my protectors. It fuckin sucks. I pretended to be asleep the rest of the ride to soccer camp.

We got there, they had a big introduction, festivities, dinner, then showed us to our bunks. I got the bottom bunk with Inojin on top, Shinki and Araya were next to us and the girls were across the hall. I don't want to be any where near the Hyugas. This sucks. The whole night they made fart noises in their sleep or randomly blew air-horns, waking the whole camp up! They're monsters! I didn't get a wink of sleep. How could I? Knowing they could come in a traumatize me however they wanted.

In the morning we got up and ate a healthy breakfast, ran some laps, got to know the other guys in the camp. They were really cool, from high schools all over, all here to try and impress the scouts to get college scholarships. Most of the guys there were really good, they actually pushed me, challenged me. I could just be… me. No worrying about my dad's stupid past or cowering away from bullies. I had to play my best, only think about soccer, and I loved it. I finally felt normal again. For the first time in months, I finally felt like Minatachi Uchiha.

After lunch we did some drills. I breezed through them. The coaches seemed to really love me. I think I was starting to really impress out there. After the drills, we picked teams for a scrimmage. Winning team gets first showers, and dessert tonight; losers have to go with the coaches on a three mile run in the desert before dinner. I am not gonna lose this game. The game started and they put me in as forward, my best position. Shinki was on the other team along with Araya as goalie. Inojin was in another scrimmage entirely on a different field. Just me vs Shinki, who was conveniently guarding me. Of course. Just what I need.

We were at each other's throats the entire scrimmage. He wouldn't let be get anywhere, but I was the same for him. We were locking horns like rams the whole time. Who knew Shinki was so good? But I was better. I had to be. We were running out of time and fast, five minutes left and no one had scored. For another three minutes or so, Shinki and I fought it out. He was on me like glue, but I wasn't about to give up. I haven't felt this good in months, and I'll be damned if I let Shinki take it away from me. I broke open and one of my teammates passed me the ball, Shinki nearly tackled me, trying not to get beat, then kicked my heels as he chased me, but I avoided letting him trip me. This was my chance. I was flying down the field, pulled a few spin moves to get rid of the approaching defenders, but Shinki was still in hot pursuit. I had to go now. I faked Araya right, and then with my left foot kicked the ball hard. He fell for it and for a split second I was able to see the ball swoosh into the net, that was before I was being pushed to the ground by presumably Shinki with a completely unnecessary force. I ate dirt, literally. Are you kidding me? Oh no, he has gone too far.

"Are you kidding me?!" I screamed.

"Sorry, it was momentum." Shinki laughed, getting up and brushing off the dirt from his jersey.

"Momentum my ass." I got up and hit him square in the face. I just… snapped. Completely and whole-heartedly snapped. How dare he? How dare he ruin the only happiness I've felt for months! That ass! I hit him and as he dropped to the floor I jumped on him. Just wildly throwing punches and screaming. I completely lost my shit until I was being pulled off of him by the coaches and other players.

"Minatachi what's gotten into you?"

"You saw the foul!" I yelled, fighting my coach's restraints.

"I also saw you punch him."

"That's it you two have college level talent with elementary level discipline. Shinki, Minatachi, you both are running! Three miles, lets go."

"But I won the game!" I complained, making eye contact with Inojin from across the field.

"And now you're gonna learn that winning isn't everything. Let's go boys. Everybody else, dinner time." The coaches released us and made Shinki and I follow them out to the desert. Ugh! This is so unfair! After mile two the coaches started getting way ahead of us. I hated this. I won the game and yet I'm still running. Running next to the worst person on the face of the planet.

"Why'd you have to go and tackle me? Now we're both running." I growled.

"Me? You're the one that had to go and hit me in the face. Still hurts by the way." He growled back.

"Good, you deserve it." Shinki stopped in his tracks, forcing me to stop too and square him off.

"Look at Teechi growing a backbone." I activated my sharingan and glared.

"You want me to demonstrate it again?" I dared, clenching my fists. Shinki cracked a smile.

"You had me beat… I had to do something." He chuckled.

"So you thought tackling me to the ground was appropriate?"

"Well I didn't think you'd get up and hit me." He laughed. "You're really good MT, probably one of the best in the whole camp."

"Was that… was that supposed to be some kind of… apology?" I said cracking a smile and chuckling too.

"Come on man, I've been chasing your dust ever since you got here. The great and powerful Minatachi, the one that broke up our parents, the hero that brought down the Akatsuki? I became like nothing the second you got here, in video games, in soccer, hell in my dad's eyes. Just look at you man."

"Well you've been doing a pretty good job at hiding your jealousy."

"Well you've been doing a pretty good job at making me jealous." He said crossing his arms and looking away. He's jealous of me? He has everything and yet he's jealous of me? I couldn't hide my smile.

"Truce." I asked extending my hand.

"Truce." He said taking it.

"Boys!" The coaches yelled. We caught up to them and finished our run. Exhausted, we made our way back to camp, now on much better terms than we were when we left. We made our way to our rooms and I got my stuff to shower.

"You're not gonna eat?"

"Nah man, I feel gross. I still feel like I have dirt in my mouth. Wonder why that is?" I said rather vindictively.

"Yup… that was me. I'll save you a slice of pizza." He said, putting his cleats down and walking out of the room. I smiled and made my way to the showers. I let the hot water take me away and reflected on the day that I had.

For the first time in months I felt like myself again. Playing soccer, not worried about my parents drama. It felt good. I needed that. I needed that so bad. And now instead of an enemy, I might actually have a friend in Shinki. Maybe. I can't let my guard down just yet. But either way it felt good, really good. I got out of the shower and went to get my clothes. No one else was in the dorms, they must be doing some activity. I think roasting marshmallows was on the list or something for today. I searched for a new set of clothes and as I did I heard the door open. I looked up and it was Inojin.

"Oh hey."

"Hey. You okay? I saw the fight between you and Shinki."

"Yeah, I'm good. He and I are cool now."

Inojin raised an eyebrow and sat on my bed. "How'd that happen?"

"Don't worry about it." I laughed. I looked back at him and he looked deep in thought, something was bugging him. "Are you okay?" I asked.

"I know you saw the pictures in my sketch book." Oh… that.

"It's no big deal. I kinda like being your inspiration." I tried to laugh off. He wasn't taking the out I had given him.

"You and I both know it's more than that." I looked down. I did? Okay maybe I did. "I like drawing you and Hima. I think you two would be good together. But I draw the two of you so much… I picture it all the time. But lately I've been picturing something else. Ever since you got your sharingan it's all I've been thinking about. I haven't had the courage to draw it, because I think you and Hima would be so great together. So I pushed it aside. But I'm beginning to think… hope that… you might be better off with… me." I was at a loss for words. Was… was Inojin confessing his feelings? His feelings for me?

"Inojin."

"Look I know you don't know if you like guys or not, and I don't really know either, but I care about you a whole lot Minatachi. And seeing you, being the old you out there on the field… and then punching Shinki. It was so brave." He got a really big smile and his blue eyes sparkled. It made me blush a little.

"Yeah I mean it was kinda cool." I brushed off trying to be cool myself.

"It was really cool." He said standing up and getting close to me. The next thing I knew I was kissing him. I just really wanted to kiss him, and he wanted to kiss me. And you know, those drawings of me were really hot. I didn't mind it at all. So here I am, kissing my best friend and enjoying it. Really enjoying it. We kissed and kissed, until my umm… yeah… became really apparent through the towel I had wrapped around my waist still. He looked down at it and I suddenly got really embarrassed.
"Sorry, I-"

"Don't be." He kissed me again, and then I felt his hands travel down towards the towel. He untied it then got on his knees in front of me.

"Inojin!" He smiled.

"Just enjoy it okay?" He said as he licked me from the head to the base. I lost my shit. Inojin was giving me a blowjob. My first blowjob ever! I felt myself stiffen. Don't cum, don't cum, don't cum! Come on MT it's been like five seconds.

"Ino."

"Humm…?" He hummed looking up at me, but beginning to bob up and down.

"God, I'm gonna-" I grabbed my own hair and tried to pull my shit together. His tongue just started moving all around me, he made this slurping sound, I couldn't hold back. "Oh… oh!" Out it came, all of it. It felt incredibly good and Inojin swallowed every last drop of it.

"I think we should make this a regular thing." He said getting off his knees and licking his lips.

Breathlessly I said, "I think we should too." Wow.
