===========================================
*Naruto's Bedroom*
Naruto made his way silently back in his room, as he took off his orange suit and slid back into bed.
"Sweet dreams" Naruto whispered to his love as he kissed him softly on the lips
A few minutes later, Naruto had fallen asleep, as a Neji slowly opens his eyes. His eyes showed a very sad expression as he stared at the blond.
"I never thought that the reason you cried was because of me ..." Neji thought as he gently placed his hand to pull the blond closer to him
---FLASHBACK---
The moment Naruto had left his apartment, Neji opened his eyes, as he reached the window. He saw Naruto that was heading towards the Uchiha House and decided to follow.
Naruto had entered the house and now was inside Sasuke's bedroom, and applied some gel on the boy.
Neji had been successful to get undetected by the duo as he climbed into a tree near the boy's bedroom window.
Neji looked closely as the boys talked without any anger or calling each other names as they usually do. Neji focused on the blond as he saw tears falling from his eyes.
He managed to hear as well, that the blond blamed himself because of Neji's actions towards Sasuke. That he felt responsible for Sasuke's injured which he, Hyuga Neji, had inflicted, and made Naruto feel this way.
"Am I the reason you feel like this?" Neji asked himself as he stared at the boys
Naruto finally left Sasuke as he returned to his house. Neji was so confused with his feelings as he stepped on a branch which made noise.
Naruto's eyes immediately looked around for the noise as Neji quickly hid himself in another tree to evade the blond's side.
After a while, Naruto murmured something and continued his way back home. Neji rushed back home, as he quickly undressed and slipped back into bed, as if he was still asleep.
He heard Naruto come in, undress, and join him in bed, as the blond's lips kissed him so softly.
Naruto finally went to sleep as Neji opened his eyes and stared at his love.
---END OF FLASHBACK---
============================================================================ ==========
Neji stared at the boy, as he thought over and over again of that moment where Naruto cried, and it was because of him. Neji pulled the sleeping blond closer to him as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
============================================================================ ==========
*The Next Morning*
Naruto was the first to wake as he pulled away from Neji, until he felt a hand grip his wrist.
"Where are you going?" Neji asked as he opened his eyes
"To eat" Naruto answered
"We have to talk ..." Neji started when Naruto cut him
"I've been thinking the same thing since last night ... But let me eat or else you know I'll be grumpy..." Naruto informed him as he felt the grip on his wrist loosened
"Very well." Was the only words Neji let out before he stepped out of bed as well
As both boys ate breakfast, the only sound that could be heard were the ramen Naruto was eating as well as their breathing. Naruto placed his empty bowl in the sink as he looked over to Neji.
"You know ... You didn't have to go beat up Sasuke that badly ..."Naruto started when Neji gave him a glare
"How do you know about it anyway?" Neji asked
"Sakura was loud enough last night, I was waiting for you to tell me, but you never did ..." Naruto said as he looked at the ceiling
"It was between me and that Uchiha bastard." Neji replied coldly
"What is wrong with you? You've been acting all strange when it comes to Sasuke." Naruto mentioned as Neji tried to ignore he heard that
"Same goes to you." Neji pointed out
"Well because you went to kick that bastard's ass, last night I paid him a visit. I gave him that medicinal stuff Hinata always gives me to help him heal from those wounds you gave him." Naruto admitted
"You don't have to make up excuses if you want to go see him in the middle of the night!" Neji let out with an angry tone
"What's your problem!? I just told you the truth, because it's not good to lie ..." Naruto started with a bit of confusion
"Is it?" Neji stated as he looked straight into Naruto's eyes
"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked as he started to feel uncomfortable while Neji now stood right in front of him
"I think you've been lying to everyone, including yourself. Deep down, you feel something strong for that disgusting bastard and ..." Neji started until he felt some pain in his right cheek
Naruto had just slapped Neji across the face, as his handprint was red and carved onto Neji's right cheek. Neji placed his hand on it as he looked back at Naruto who had a very angry expression.
"I never thought that you would be able to be so mean to me. I thought you trusted me, just like I trusted you." Naruto commented as he picked up his holster and strapped it to his right leg
"You're the one with the problem Naruto." Neji replied as his anger showed
"You need to cool down and think things through. I have to go train, so please take all day to think over it before we do something we'll regret." Naruto informed his love before leaving his apartment
Neji stared at the back of the blond as the door shut behind him.
============================================================================ ==========
*Training Grounds*
Sasuke and Sakura had already arrived, waiting once again, for Kakashi to arrive. Sasuke leaned against the tree, while he ignored the slight pain it caused him.
Naruto puts on his smiling face, so that no one worries about him and mostly to think as well.
Unfortunately, the moment he set foot on the ground where Sakura could see him, she rushed towards him with a very angry expression.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan" Naruto waved, until he noticed her angry eyes
"Don't ohayo me Naruto! Now you better tell me why the hell Neji was at your apartment that late at night!" Sakura demanded as her fists closed
"Neji at Naruto's apartment?" Sasuke thought as his attention was now given to the blond
"He comes over sometimes because of the problems between the main and branch family." Naruto answered naturally
"There's more than that! Neji said that you were his and Sasuke touched you. And that can only mean that you're ... that you're ..." Sakura tried to say the last word but it didn't want to come out
"That he likes boys better than girls?" Sasuke finished for her
"Sasuke-kun? Tell me it's not true, not you too?" Sakura asked worried
---POOF---
Kakashi appeared as he was ready to make up his new excuse for being late, until he noticed his students didn't even hear or see him appear.
Sasuke stayed silent and didn't give an answer to Sakura's questions, as she turned towards Naruto and starts to slap him as he places his hands in front of him to protect himself.
"This is all your fault!" Sakura yelled out as she continued hitting the blond
"Sakura, it's not very nice to hit your own teammate." Kakashi let out as he was reading Come Come Paradise
All three of his students looked up to him as Sakura was about to argue until, Kakashi gave her a certain glare.
Sakura played with her fingers as she leaned her head down and stared at the ground. Sasuke and Naruto simply stood there as they waited for Kakashi's orders.
"Naruto, come over here." Kakashi ordered the blond
Naruto was a bit confused but within a minute he walked towards Kakashi, as his sensei placed the book back inside his pocket pants and leaned towards Naruto.
Kakashi murmured in the boy's ear, as Naruto simply nodded and said one word. Sasuke watched closely as he wasn't able to understand any of it.
Naruto backed away as Kakashi stood back up with a smile. Sasuke observed the blond to see something was bothering him.
"Well, today we'll be training so do try to get along and not kill each other ok?" Kakashi commented as he looked over at Sakura
"I can't believe that Naruto poisoned Sasuke into becoming ..." Sakura mumbled to herself when Sasuke passed by her
"Actually, I've liked Naruto for a long time ..." Sasuke slipped out as he continued his way with a slight smile on his lips
Sakura's jaw dropped as she was totally shocked by the comment Sasuke had just told her.
"Sakura? Planning to day dream?" Kakashi asked a bit worried
"Actually, I don't feel so good ... Would it be ok if I skip today Kakashi- sensei?" Sakura asked as she was still shocked
Kakashi looked over at Sasuke to notice he had a slight smile as he turned back to look at Sakura.
"It's ok, get better soon then" Kakashi told her as she turned around and walked away from the training grounds
"What's wrong with everyone today!?" Naruto yelled out as Kakashi and Sasuke stared at him
"You're not going crazy on us are you dobe?" Sasuke asked giving him a glare
"Oops, I didn't mean to say it out loud." Naruto replied
"Trouble in paradise" Kakashi commented as he felt a heavy stare at him coming form Naruto
Kakashi walked off to begin the training as Sasuke and Naruto simply followed without saying a word.
============================================================================ ==========
*Hours Later*
Both boys were exhausted from their training as Kakashi simply continued to read his perverted book.
Sasuke leaned against a tree, as Naruto simply let himself fall on his butt, on the ground.
"I suppose for today training is over." Kakashi commented as he finished reading a page from his book
"Time to eat then" Naruto let out with a big smile as he clapped his hands together once
"Baka, always thinking about food" Sasuke mumbled as Naruto's expression suddenly changed to give him a rival's glare
"Stop calling me that bastard!" Naruto replied as he stood up
"Humph" Sasuke said as he prepared to start yet another fight with Naruto
"My my, haven't you trained enough already. Both of you go home and get some rest." Kakashi informed the boys
"Fine." Naruto said as he started to walk off
"I'll make sure he doesn't get lost." Sasuke said as he followed Naruto
"I heard that!" Naruto replied as he walked a bit faster
"I never get bored with those two around." Kakashi let out as he disappeared in smoke.
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Apartment*
Neji hadn't moved from where he stood since his fight with Naruto this morning. He remembered the words Naruto told him before he left, as he seemed confused but sure of what he should do.
Neji stood up form the chair, where he sat, as he closed the lights from Naruto's apartment and walked out the front door.
"Perhaps I acted foolishly ... But I cannot overlook the fact that you have feelings for Uchiha Sasuke." Neji told himself as he closed the door behind him
============================================================================ ==========
*Roads that lead towards Konoha Village*
Naruto and Sasuke walked down the road as they called each other names for amusement.
"Dobe"
"Bastard"
"Baka"
"Jerk"
"Moron"
"Shut up already!" Naruto yelled out as he turned around to face his rival
"Give up?" Sasuke asked with a smile
"Never!" Naruto replied quickly as he continued his walk
"Hey dobe." Sasuke started
"What? And don't call me that!" Naruto replied as his fists closed
"What did you talk about with Kakashi?" Sasuke asked curiously
"Oh that, just warning me to keep the professional and personal life separate, and to try not to screw up my relationship with Neji and my rivalry with you." Naruto answered normally
"Typical of him to say such a thing ..." Sasuke let out as he was about to continue his walk until something further down the road caught his attention
Naruto, looked up to Sasuke and saw the boy seemed to be staring at something down the road. Naruto turned around as he found himself looking down to a boy with dark hair.
"Neji?" Naruto called out
Naruto runs towards his lover as he's about to give him a hug, until Neji takes a few steps back and Naruto stands still.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked with a low tone
"I can't let this go on any further." Neji responded
"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked
"To me, and perhaps others, it's obvious you feel more than only friendship for that boy there. Until you sort you feelings, it's useless for us to see each other." Neji informed Naruto
"Naze?" Naruto let out as he took a step forward
"Just answer me this Naruto. Is he more important than me?" Neji asked coldly
Naruto stood still as he wanted to answer but nothing came out. Neji simply closed his eyes as he turned his back to his former lover. Neji walked away as Naruto didn't know what to do.
Sasuke comes behind Naruto as he places a hand on his shoulder.
"Baka. What are you waiting for to run after him?" Sasuke whispered to the blond's ear
After those words, Naruto ran as fast as he could to Neji until he finally reaches him.
"Neji! NEJI!" Naruto yelled until the boy finally stopped
"Naruto, I'll be going for a week, due to a mission handed to me today. I'll take this time to think, and I'd advice you to do the same." Neji informed Naruto
"You're leaving me...?" Naruto asked frighten a little
"Perhaps, Perhaps not. You need to get clean on how you feel for certain people. Until then, I don't want to see you." Neji stated as he turned around
Neji then vanished from Naruto's sight, as the blond was totally shocked by Neji's words. Naruto fell to his knees as he stared with sadness to his hands and tears began to fall.
From not far away, Sasuke observed everything as he wanted to rush over and comfort the boy, but he also knew this might complicate things.
Neji looked from a certain distance at the saddened Naruto, as a tear fell from his eye.
"Seems like I'm only good to make you cry my dear Naruto ... But this is for the best of both of us ..." Neji whispered to himself as he vanished for good.

I'm impressed over a dozen reviews for chapter 10!!! You people should of seen my inbox it was full of reviews from my latest story I posted and from my other 3 stories. Took me an hour to read every review lol.
Well this chapter didn't have much love in it, sorry about that. Hopefully it will be better in the next one ne?
Reviews
Temari-chan : I guess your suspicions about this chapter were proven, indeed Neji left, but no worries it's temporary. You'll know more in the next chapter!!!
Dadaiiro : You were right, I played the role out for Neji to make a bigger conflict between him and Naruto hope you enjoyed
Ninetails 2 / Morien Alexander / blow / Muchacha : I'm happy I have new readers that enjoyed this story, hopefully you'll like the others as well.
Naito Kiseki : once again I love your little stories so funny. I keep laughing each time I read them. I'm glad you enjoyed Sasuke's butt being kicked by Neji
Pinky-cat : The reason for him saying that is Neji feels that it's all because of him Naruto cries, thus the boy believes that with Sasuke he'd be perhaps better since Sasuke practically never made him cry.
Nicki-gurl : Thanks for the great compliment, I try to write as good as possible any hour of the day, even when it's the middle of the night lol
Simple Rin : Thanks for reviewing every story I write!!! Yeah I made Sasuke the bad guy, but you'll see he's not that bad when you get to know him. Plus it's nice to know Naruto belongs to you ;)
Kuroi hikari : as funny as it may sound some actually didn't know who the dark figure was ( gomen for those who didn't know ) I knew it was obvious but still, had to make the relationship fall a bit before I strt writing the few last chapters.
Nikkler : I have no intention of having Naruto cheat on Neji, as you can see, they barely exchanged a hug and a few kisses, so that's not so bad, I hope. Now this chapter might have been depressing for you, but the next will be sad as well, a little, think I should be finishing this fic pretty soon, but I keep having these ideas!!! Oh well hope you enjoyed this chapter too
Rubymoon17 : such a loyal reviewer, thanks again for your lovely comments, and do hope I'm up to what you people expect form me as a writer
Next Chapter : ( Haven't figured the title yet sorry)
With Neji gone, Naruto reflects more on his relationship between himself and Sasuke as well as with Neji. Plus, an unexpected visitor comes to knock on our Naruto's door. Who is it?
I have now 4 stories that I work on and I have no clue how I do it to update them all once a week lol. What can I say, my life revolves around writing Naruto fics

Now this chapter might have been depressing for you, but the next will be sad as well, a little, think I should be finishing this fic pretty soon, but I keep having these ideas!!! Oh well hope you enjoyed this chapter too
Rubymoon17 : such a loyal reviewer, thanks again for your lovely comments, and do hope I'm up to what you people expect form me as a writer
Next Chapter : ( Haven't figured the title yet sorry)
With Neji gone, Naruto reflects more on his relationship between himself and Sasuke as well as with Neji. Plus, an unexpected visitor comes to knock on our Naruto's door. Who is it?
I have now 4 stories that I work on and I have no clue how I do it to update them all once a week lol. What can I say, my life revolves around writing Naruto fics
