===========================================
Neji landed on the bed, as he sat up on it, rubbing his red cheek and to stare again into those angry blue eyes.
"What the hell was that for!?" Neji demanded as he looked up to the blond
"Shut up already........." Naruto let out
"Nani?" Neji said as his eyes widened
"Just shut the hell up! I'd rather have lived with a curse then go through what I've been through! From the moment I was born every adult looked at me with hatred and they simply ignored me throughout all my life to this day. I played pranks to get attention because I was always alone and I never knew why everyone hated me so much, but I didn't grow up having people care for me, I always ended up trying to survive like I could. Don't you get it, you're life is so great compared to mine and that's why I'd exchange your curse any time against me being the container of Kyubi!" Naruto yelled out when he covered his mouth with his hand
Both boy's eyes widened as Naruto started to take a few steps back to distant himself from his lover.
"That's ......... Impossible........." Neji let out in shock
The next thing Neji notices is Naruto's no longer within the room with him, as the front door to his apartment is slammed open.
Neji breathed hard to the information that had just been dumped on him by his former lover.
"Naruto, has Kyubi within him........." Neji let out as his neutral face changed into a worried and shocked one
============================================================================ ======================
*Outside the Apartment*
Naruto ran through the empty streets, where ever his legs would bring him to, as tears continued to fall from his eyes.
He never looked back to his apartment, all he wanted was to leave, when he bumped into someone.
Both of them fell hard to the ground, as Naruto looked behind him to apologize even though his vision was blurry and coulded.
"Gomen nasai" Naruto said as he stood up and continue to run never looking back
The person he bumped into had pink hair and stayed on the ground with a shocked expression.
"Naruto was crying.........? But why?" Sakura asked herself as she slowly stood to her feet
============================================================================ ======================
*Naruto's Bedroom*
Neji laid on the blonde's bed, still in shock over the words Naruto had just spoken to him.
Neji observed his surroundings, as many thoughts crossed his mind.
"It would explain a lot of things ........." Neji mumbled as he managed to sit up on the bed
Neji recalls how the Villagers glared with such hate Naruto, even when he hadn't done anything. How everyone ignored him, how they would keep their children away from him as well.
Neji then recalls when he fought against Naruto during the Chuunin exam. Despite that Neji had closed all 64 points of chakra on Naruto, he still managed to call forth a chakra, a red chakra, which wasn't his own.
With his Byakugan activated, Neji saw the face of a somewhat evil grinning face appear where the chakra leaked out from.
"How is this even possible ......... How could Naruto hold such a demonic creature within his own body ........." Neji thought, as he stood up and started to walk out of the room, and the apartment
============================================================================ ======================
*Sasuke's House*
Sasuke sat in the window frame and looked at the moon. He was lost within his thoughts until he heard some noises coming from outside and very near his house.
Knock knock knock knock
Sasuke turned his head and found the noise coming from his front door. He jumped off the window frame and made his way to the front door.
Knock knock knock knock
"Give me a damn minute!" Sasuke yelled out as he finally opened the door
Sasuke's eyes widened when he noticed how was knocking at his door.
"Sakura? Why are you here?" Sasuke asked as he put back on his neutral mask
"I didn't know where else to go ........." Sakura started as her eyes showed she was worried for someone
"What happened?" Sasuke asked as he stepped aside to let the female come in
"It's Naruto! I was going back home when he crashed into me" Sakura started to explain
"Dobe tends to do that a lot" Sasuke commented
"But he just apologized and kept running away without turning back ........." Sakura continued as tears started to show in her eyes
"That's unlike Naruto to just apoligize" Sasuke let out as he started to worry
"For the few seconds I saw him, I'm sure he was crying ......... And I know how you care about him Sasuke-kun so I didn't know who else to go to ........." Sakura mumbled as she wiped off her tears
Sasuke smiled a little, as he placed a hand on Sakura's shoulder to comfort her.
"I ......... Arigatou ........." Sasuke whispered to her before he he ran pass her to vanish within the trees outside
Despite her sadness, seeing that little smile of the boy made her smile as well. She looked outside where she last saw Sasuke's back, as she placed her hand over the place where the boy had touched her.
"You're welcome Sasuke-kun" Sakura softly said as she closed the door on her way out of Uchiha's house
============================================================================ ======================
*Somewhere*
Sasuke went to the first place Naruto would think of if he wanted to be left alone, and that place would be near the training grounds where Team 7 often met.
Sasuke jumped from tree to tree only thinking about the blond, when he heard a familiar sound a few meters away from his position.
Uchiha came to a stop as he concentrated on the sound to notice it came below him. His eyes lowered to the ground to see a curled up Naruto at the base of the tree, crying his eyes out.
"Neji probably hates me too now ........." Naruto thought as he rocked back and forth
Sasuke quietly jumped down to the ground, as he stood barely a meter away from the blond. He slowly kneeled as he gently placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder and tried to look into those blue eyes.
"Naruto ........." Sasuke spoke out softly
Naruto immediately raised his head to meet black eyes, those of Sasuke. Naruto's eyes widened as he recognized the person who stood before him.
"Sasuke.........?" Naruto let out through his muffled cries
"If you need a shoulder to cry on, you can use mine" Sasuke told the blond with a small smile
Just as he heard those words, Naruto cried harder as he jumped on Sasuke for more comfort.
Sasuke held Naruto in his arms, as Naruto continued to cry. Neither boy spoke for several minutes, until Naruto's tears stopped falling from his eyes.
"You can also talk to me if you want........." Sasuke mentioned with a low voice unsure of the answer he would get
Naruto pulled his head up so he could see the dark eyes of the other boy.
"Neji had family troubles and we got into a fight and I said something that I shouldn't of. I'm sure he hates me now ........." Naruto calmly explain, on the verge of crying again
"Did you ask him if he hated you? Or did you act like an idiot and just ran?" Sasuke asked with a slight smile
"Don't call me an idiot you bastard! And no, I just ran out before he could say anything ........." Naruto answered as he lowered his head in shame
"That idiot" Sasuke thought as he rolled his eyes
"I just don't know what to do anymore........." Naruto let out
Sasuke placed his hand under the boy's chin to lift it up so he could look into Naruto's blue eyes.
"Right now, you should get some sleep dobe. Staying out here in the cold will only get you sick, which wouldn't help you much right now. And sleep tends to make you think things through, plus it will clear your head. Give Neji some time, I'm sure he'll come see you, after all, who could stay away from you for long ne?" Sasuke told him
"Not after what I told him ........." Naruto mumbled
"He WILL go see you and talk things through" Sasuke informed the boy with a serious tone "He'll come even if I have to drag him to you, Naruto." Sasuke mentally told himself
"Demo........." Naruto started to doubt again
"No buts! If he truly loves you Naruto, he'll come back to talk things out." Sasuke told the blond as he let go of him and stood up
Naruto was still on his knees, as he looked up to Sasuke, to find that the Uchiha didn't dare to look him in the eyes.
Naruto lowered his head for a few seconds, as he finally decided to stand up on his two feet. He then used his sleeve to wash out the dried tears he'd made on his face and then tried to look Sasuke in the eyes, but failed.
"Now get some sleep before you get sick." Sasuke ordered him
Naruto couldn't help but let out a small smile as he turned around and started to walk away from Sasuke.
Sasuke did the same as he stayed in place for a moment. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. He then took a step forward, on his way back to his house.
"He can be such an idiot sometimes.........So why do I feel like this for him?" Sasuke questioned himself
"SASUKE!" Naruto yelled out
This caught Sasuke's immediate attention as he turned around to wonder why the blond was yelling out his name. By the time he turned around, he felt two arms wrap themselves around his neck, and a pair of lips that covered his own.
Sasuke's eyes widened, as he stood paralyzed, when he noticed that Naruto had run back to him and then kissed him!
"What the hell?" Sasuke mentally asked himself still in shock
Naruto was the one who broke the kiss, as he embraced Sasuke into a hug. He brought his lips near the Uchiha's ear.
"Arigatou for being my best friend........." Naruto whispered as he took a quick glance to see Sasuke's expression
As quick as the warmth of having the blond within his arms, as soon as it also vanished. By the time Sasuke could react, the blond had already run out of his sight and back to his apartment.
Sasuke brought his fingers up to his lips, as he starts to laugh a little by realizing what actually happened.
"No wonder I feel in love with him ......... Because he's the only one who can make me smile like this ........." Sasuke whispered as he vanished form sight as well
============================================================================ ======================
*Near the Hyuga Estate*
Neji was only a few meters away from entering the household when he stopped. His eyes soon changed as he activated his Byakugan to look to the forest on his left.
"If you want to fight, come back another day" Neji informed the person that hid himself behind a tree
Slowly, the ninja moved from behind the tree to in front of it to face Neji.
"Uchiha Sasuke" Neji let out with an angry voice
"Hai........." Sasuke confirmed
"I have nor the time or desire to deal with you" Neji coldly said as he continued to walk away
Although Sasuke knew very little about the fight, he still needed to interfere for Naruto's sake.
Quickly, Sasuke grabbed onto Neji's wrist to prevent the Hyuga from walking away and to stay put.
"Wait" Sasuke ordered him
Neji took this mostly as a threat as he slapped away Sasuke's hand and prepared himself to get into a fight.
Sasuke's reflexes of course are to do the same. Both stood to face each other with only 2 meters of distance between them.
"Will you just listen to me for 5 minutes!?" Sasuke yelled out
This caught Neji's attention as he lifted an eyebrow out of surprised by his opponent's words.
"Speak" Neji ordered as he glared at the boy in front of him
"Do you really love Naruto?" Sasuke asked without hesitation
"Nani!?" Neji let out as anger started to build up again
"Don't make me repeat myself" Sasuke commented
"What is it to you Uchiha?" Neji asked
"Look, dobe loves you. Whatever he did or said, just go talk to him about it." Sasuke started
"Are you actually giving me advice Uchiha?" Neji replied
"Because when you're not around, Naruto isn't happy........." Sasuke trailed off as he avoided eye contact
"And how would you know that?" Neji asked with curiosity
"Because I'm the one that picked him off the ground and he was crying because of the fight he had with you" Sasuke replied with some angry tone
A moment of silence occurred as Neji lowered his eyes to the ground. He didn't know that Naruto actually cried because of him again.
"Look, just go talk to him." Sasuke told the boy
"Why......... Why are you helping us anyway?" Neji asked with hesitation
"Because in Naruto's eyes, I'm only his best and only friend. It could never go further than that. If I can't be his lover, I'm happy enough to be there when he needs me the most. And to fix up his stupid mistakes." Sasuke answered with a bit of sadness in his voice
Neji smiled a little upon hearing the last phrase when he knew it was mostly true. He closed his eyes as he started to walk away again.
"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked with worry
Sasuke took a step and extended his hand to stop Neji once more from leaving, when the Hyuga stopped himself.
"Going for a walk in the Village" Neji replied as he continued on his way
Sasuke smiled lightly, as he stuffed his hands inside his pockets.
"Looks like I didn't have to drag you there after all." Sasuke thought
Sasuke holds back the unshed tears that started to gather in his eyes as he lifted up his head to have a nice view of the full moon.
"You did the right thing Sasuke." Kakashi said as he placed a hand on the boy's shoulder
Sasuke leaned his head to the right, as he felt the comforting touch of his sensei on his shoulder.
"As long as he's happy, I'll be happy." Sasuke let out
Sasuke could no longer hold back his tears, as they slowly fell down from his eyes and onto his cheeks.
Kakashi removed his hand from the boy's shoulder to replace it by his arms around Sasuke's neck.
Kakashi pulled the boy closer and held him tightly, as he rested his chin on Sasuke's head.
"Arigatou ........." Sasuke mumbled as he closed his eyes
"You're welcome" Kakashi replied with a small smile
============================================================================ ======================
*Naruto's Apartment*
Naruto started to undress himself, as he placed a towel around his waist and turned on his shower.
When the water temperature was right, he slipped under the shower and removed his towel.
Under the warm water, Naruto began to wash his hair to get the dirt out of it. As he was about to wash his tanned skin with soap, a loud thunder was heard.
Naruto moved the curtain on his window aside, as he noticed the stars in the sky were being covered by dark clouds. Heavy rain started to pour down as more thunder could be heard and seen.
Naruto turns off the water, as he steps out of his shower and wraps the towel around his waist.
"Chikushou! Of all times to have a damn storm it had to happen when I was taking a shower!" Naruto cursed as he made his way towards his kitchen
Knock knock
Naruto turned his head towards his front door as he lifted an eyebrow.
"Who the hell would come here during a damn storm?" Naruto asked himself as he walked towards the door.
Naruto turned the doorknob as he opened his front door. His eyes widened when he saw the person who stood before him.
"Ne .........Neji?" Naruto managed to say
Naruto was shocked to find a soaked Neji at his door.
"I want to know everything" Neji demanded
Naruto lowered his eyes, but stepped aside to let Neji in his apartment. As Neji entered, Naruto closed the door behind them.

"Chikushou! Of all times to have a damn storm it had to happen when I was taking a shower!" Naruto cursed as he made his way towards his kitchen
Knock knock
Naruto turned his head towards his front door as he lifted an eyebrow.
"Who the hell would come here during a damn storm?" Naruto asked himself as he walked towards the door.
Naruto turned the doorknob as he opened his front door. His eyes widened when he saw the person who stood before him.
"Ne .........Neji?" Naruto managed to say
Naruto was shocked to find a soaked Neji at his door.
"I want to know everything" Neji demanded
Naruto lowered his eyes, but stepped aside to let Neji in his apartment. As Neji entered, Naruto closed the door behind them.

Reviews
Dadaiiro : I updated as soon as I could and all your questions were answered in this chapter
Nikkler : Naruto stopped running away although he got a surprise at his door
Rubymoon17 : I updated sorry for the lateness. Also I got the sequel out to the dark side if you're interested
Naito kiseki : Nice little story, NK2 seems to have a hard time a lot lol. And for your information this will end within 2 or 3 chapters at most.
Arbil : Well you'll get to know more about Neji and Naruto in the enxt chapter and how they'll cope with it. This one was meant to simply get them to talk to each other who would've of suspected Sasuke to be the one ne?
Pinky-cat : I've been a bad girl I did exactly what you didn't want I brought Sasuke into the whole mess! But he was a good guy this time.
The True Silver : Thanks for your review
Renn : Neji and Naruto will talk it out in the next chapter and indeed the main family member was such an asshole but I had to get Neji to Naruto's somehow and that was the only way I found
NC : you're thinking was correct. Sasuke's pissed and worried, comforts both boys and get's them back together.........maybe
Minerva Teller of tales : Sorry for the grammar mistakes, I don't have a beta so I do my best to manage. Although I've seen much worse writer's than me in writing.
Nemie : thank you for the compliment this was my first shonen-ai attempt and it seemed to have succeeded
JadeTiger : Indeed I let the fox out of the hat and now to see if their love is strong enough to work things out
Thanks again for the reviews people
Next Chapter :
No previews this time
Any preview might ruin what I got planned and some of you are quite good at thinking what I'm thinking
