(author notes) THANKS! to everyone who reviewed beacuse well, I feel as if my story is dying down. (I HAD SO MANY!) Sasuke's all sappy, Ino's all bitchy, and Naruto's all dense. (sigh) I will continue writing though! Heehee. I feel as if THIS chapter is...bleh, nothing interesting is in this...all my inspiration was put into chapter 5...(Yami: Then let ME write!) (Hikari: No) Oh yea, I also PLAN to end the day here. 4 chapters for 1 day, geez
.
Repost Thingy: I needed to repost this so sorry for all the confusion in your author alerts. I reread the chapter and needed to fix a few things...

Chapter 6-We Interrupt this Sappy Moment for Sasuke's Reasons
{Neji's POV}
((A.N. I really like using his POV! It's easy to use.))
"Hey Neji...do you think that black thing that jumped out of the bush is following me?"
(sigh)"Yes, Naruto...the black thing is following you."
It was quite true actually, it's just that Naruto needs to replace "black thing" with "Sasuke". Funny though, the "black thing" stopped stalking us as soon as Naruto shut his mouth. Uchiha is such a twit. This is what he gets when he disses fate. While I, a person who believes in fate and destiny, gets to spend an entire day with his so called "friend" After moments of thinking and Naruto talking about bushes we finally reached the market street of Konoha. ((A.N. I don't know if there is one but lets pretend it's there))
"We're HERE! So what do you want Neji?"
"I don't care let's just leave soon..."
I really didn't want to be seen here, think about it...a Hyuga genius out shopping. I've never even seen this part of Konoha before, it had numerous stores on each side of the street with signs sticking out of here and there. Since when did our village go modern? I felt foreign here. And look at Naruto, he looks surprised too but another kind of emotion was tugging at his face.
"Oh I get it! (snicker) Neji you don't care what you get, eh? How about that? It's nice and cheap!" (points at a gift shop)
He was pointing at...a large, large, large, pink stuffed bear. I stared at Naruto, dumbfounded for suggesting it. The thought of me holding that..that..thing was enough to make me gag. Me holding some gigantic pink bear was out of the picture. Try imagining that yourself...ugh...(choke)
"A-Are you serious? You must me kidding."
Naruto stared at me for a bit and started laughing uncontrollbly. He continued laughing even when he collapsed onto the floor. He was still laughing when he was rolling all over the place clutching his stomach. I felt a vain throb on the corner of my forehead. I couldn't help but kick him. The jab was enough to make him stop and stand up. Naruto glanced at me and started to snicker. (sigh) Because of that it started a chain reaction, SO he laughed at me again. It was extremely annoying, even for Naruto's standards.
"Naruto..."
(still laughing)
"Naruto!"
(rolls all over the floor, laughing)
"NARUTO!"
(gets up wiping tears from eyes) "Yes Neji?...(snickers)..C-c-can we g-get away from th-th--the-haha-b-bear?"
Before I gave him the chance to laugh, I dragged him away from that evil gift shop. Naruto FINALLY calmed down. I decided not to ask him about the laughing, scared that I might start another laugh attack.
"SO what gift do you want Neji? This is the only time I've ever known that I was generous."
"I don't want a gift."
"Why not? EVERYONE LOVES gifts! So what do you want? Anything! You gave me pjs so I should repay you!"
"I-I- wan-want..."
"You want...well hurry up! I won't be staying generous for long, and the black bush thing is also waiting."
"I want you, Naruto..."
"Say what? I didn't hear you."
"Never mind"
"No really! I truely didn't hear you...I was cleaning out my ear. Can you please repeat it?"
I felt like a fool. What did Naruto want me to do?! Fuck him right in public?! ....I wish....but I don't do that sort of stuff. Sometimes I wish he weren't so dense.

{Back with Sakura and Ino...again-3rd POV}
"Ino...can you let go of me?" asked Sakura who was looking at the vicegrip as if she wanted to bite it right off.
"Nope. We have to go tell Hinata. Every girl deserves to know." replied Ino whose sugar levels rose for no straight reason.
"But I don't wanna! Ino-pig! You're ruining my ingenius plan!"
"Plan? What plan? Are you planning something without me?"
"Yes. No. Maybe so."
"....Well drop it Ms. Forehead. We have to tell Hinata the secret!" Ino whined turning around seeing pupiless eyes.
"T-t-tell me what se-secret?" asked Hinata who seemed to have come out from nowhere.
"ACK! WHAT THE HELL?! Wide forehead Sakura, WHAT IS THIS THING, THIS CREATURE?!" screeched Ino as she jumped away from the 'thing'.
"Ino-pig. . .that 'creature' is Hinata." Sakura said as she glanced at the hurt Hyuga, "Hey Hinata. Don't take that comment to hard from Ino-pig. This pig is poor quality. I tried selling her to some butcher but he didn't take her, probably cause she smells bad."
"O-oh. . .ok. . .Sakura-san. . ."
"No way! ARE you SERIOUS that this IS that Hinata girl?! AND I do NOT smell!"
"Ino-pig. . . shut up. Just hurry up and do what you were here to do."
"Oh yea. Right! Well Hinata you liked Sasuke right?"
"N-not re-really"
"Of course you did! No girl could resist his charms!" Ino rambled ignoring every word that came out of the blue haired girl, "Well you see...pretty boy Sasuke is well...you know...different than your Neji...He's swings one way while your cousin swings the other. Cause Sasuke-kun is queer."
"Re-Really?" [I have no idea what she's talking about. When I think about swinging ways and queerness...Sasuke-kun and Neji-ni-san go in the same direction...unless I'm wrong.] "Umm....I-Ino...why does this involve Neji?" asked a VERY confused Hinata.
"Well, you see Hinata. Me and Sakura have this plan."
"Whoa. Ino-pig. What plan?"
"Listen Sakura, you too Hinata. Since Sasuke-kun is gay, we should leave him alone-"
"FINALLY" sighed Sakura happy about Ino's wise decision.
"LET ME FINISH, wide forehead girl! We leave him alone and start a new fanclub dedicated to the next hottest guy! (cough) Who is straight!"
"W-Who's th-th-that, Ino?"
"Neji!"
"But INO-PIG! Sasuke may just be lying to us about that and err Tenten too!"
"You think TWO people are lying and you saw Sasuke kiss a boy. He ISN'T straight! You're so stupid Forehead Girl."
"Bu-but Ino...I was thinking more a-about umm...N-Naruto (twiddles fingers, looking down) instead of N-Neji-ni-san...."
Ino ignored her again. She acted as if she weren't there.
"Ino-PIG! Don't you ever, ever, ever listen to HINATA?! She's right there you know!" yelled Sakura knowing how bitchy Ino could be.
"I knew that. But anyways our FINAL decision is Neji. And Neji only!"
"Uh...Hinata...you're my witness ok? Remeber I had nothing to do with this!"
"Uh...o-ok...[but Neji-ni-san likes boys too! Should I tell them?] Umm...Ino Neji-ni-"
"Great. Great Hinata! I know you like Neji too! Don't worry, he'll be the new mascot soon."
"B-b-but...Ne"
"Come on Wide Foreheaded Sakura! We have to remake the Sasuke-kun shrine so it'll be about Neji!"
"INO-PIG! I don't want to go!"
But Ino (like always) already clamped onto Sakura dragging her away...again. Hinata just watched and sighed in attempt to talk to both girls.
"They're not very nice people when it comes to a pushover like me. I hate my personality..." mumbled Hinata who walked home ready to face her father's daily talk about being weak in the Hyuga family.

{Neji's POV-again}
We were walking down the street while Naruto was pointing out things that he "thought" that I wanted. Teddy bears of all sorts of neon colors. What kind of person does Naruto think I am?!
"Hey let's go into that store." (points)
I looked toward the direction Naruto was pointing to, fearing the worst. But luckily for me, it was just a bookstore. A simple teddy bear-less bookstore. I sighed in relief...at least Naruto is starting to get an idea of what I'd like. We walked into the store ignoring all the cold glares everyone gave us, or Naruto, but I wasn't sure. I wonder why...
"I'll let you wander throughout the store by yourself, while I check out a book I've been curious about."
"Fine. Whatever."
Naruto stuck his toungue out at me in annoyance and left while I rolled my eyes in response. I wandered around the store passing the "kids only" section. There were bright neon colors causing me to look away, how could anyone stand such a sight?! I passed the romance area soon after, why do people read that sort of stuff? All the books are full of clichés! ((A.N. AGH! Shut up Neji! You know nothing about it! Don't get mad please! (runs toward a corner)) I was ABOUT to pass the Manga section before a paticular graphic novel caught my eye. I rubbed my eyes to check if I were seeing things. But unfortunately I wasn't.
"Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto." I read off the spine of the book. I decided to scan through the book curious with the title. Volumes four and twelve were the only ones currently available. I flipped through book 12. My eyes widened at what I saw. I simply could not have believed it.
It...it showed my first chunin exam fight against Naruto...in manga form! Every single detail was correct. That character couldn't have been me. Although we looked exactly the same. The character's name was...(reads a few quote bubbles) Hyuga Neji. Ok so MAYBE this IS me... I skipped toward the end of the book. It showed how I lost and everything was precisely accurate. The next chapter was based on me. It was about the talk I had with Hinata's evil father. What has fate done?! Why was everything correct?! Why was I in there? No one was there to listen so how could they have known what we said to each other?! I soon decided to purchase both volumes, so I could "investigate" them more when I went home. I slipped the shopping bag into my kunai holster hoping it would fit, and it did. I was about to find Naruto before. . .
"OH MY GOD! THIS IS WHAT PERVERT-SENIN WRITES? Kakashi reads this?"
Everyone was shushing the culprit, or rather Naruto. They mumbled something about "fox" before glaring. WHY the hell were everyone like that?! Sure Naruto played pranks when he was younger but he doesn't anymore! People are ignorant sometimes. I looked for him around the bookstore, leading me to the "Adults Only, Kids Keep Out" area. Why was Naruto here? Is he like his sensei of something?
"Naruto. Why, out of all places, are you here?"
"ACK! (drops Icha Icha Paridise) AH...Neji! Uh...the question is....what are YOU doing here?"
"I've finished browsing, so I was looking for you. (sigh) Now again what are YOU doing here?"
"I uh...SO what do you want for a gift? But lets leave this area first...heh heh..."
We walked toward the front of the store while Naruto was blushing madly. Ha. I could use this as blackmail.
"Uhh so? What?"
"I want..." I extended my hand out for the closest book on the closest shelf, when I grabbed one I pulled it out and stuck it in Naruto's hands not knowing what it was. I didn't care, accepting gifts isn't my thing.
"You seriously want this? You REALLY sure?"
"Yea sure." I said not even glancing at what I picked out.
"Err..ok Neji."
We headed to the register while Naruto was looking at me oddly. The sales clerk was glaring at him while scanning the book, Naruto didn't seem to notice or care. WHAT is so bad about HIM?! Ugh, people these days. I can't stand it! I'll ask him about it later.
"Well here's your gift! (shoves bag in face)"
"Ok...Naruto...I know. You don't have to shove my book in my face."
"(cough)(cough) Umm...Neji...why did you get....THAT kind of book?"
What book DID I get? I didn't feel like taking it out of the bag to check though.
"I don't know. It was just there."
"But why THAT KIND of book?"
It must have been some strange book if Naruto was questioning me over and over. I got curious and looked into the bag. Inside there was a book with a bluish-black cover about 350 pages long with a nature picture in the front. The title was "The Fox, Snake, and Canary" by ((A.N: Just stick a name in here.)). Normal stuff...what was Naruto all freaked out about? As soon as I was about to glance away I noticed the tiny print on the bottom.
A Yaoi Story.
Oh good god. Why did fate make me get this book? I'm not a yaoi fangirl...heck I'm not even a girl.....OH I get it. Fate is treating me like a girl again. I AM SO Happy! Ugh...my belief in fate is starting to fade away. Think of an excuse, no wait, tell the truth. Yea. Wait....NO! The truth sucks!
"It's a gift for Hinata-sama." GOOD EXCUSE NEJI! I looked at Naruto's face to see if he believed me.
"Ahhh....ok!"
Thank god he bought it. I was ready to leave this horrid place while Naruto, well it looked as if there was something else up his sleave. I headed down the street with Naruto following behind. We were almost out before my arm was tugged. It was Naruto asking me for something.
"Hey Neji can you do one favor for me? This tiny favor."
"It depends on what it is."
"Oh come on! Don't be an ice bastard like Sasuke is and do this surprise favor...meanie."
He started to pout. And pout. And pout. He didn't STOP pouting! I didn't want to do what Naruto had planned, there was something fishy about it. I ignored him refusing to do the so called "favor". But I made a mistake by looking at his face again. The sight made me melt right then and there. His lower lip sticking out while he crossed his arms. And those bright blue eyes shining looking slightly annoyed. Grrr....
"FINE! Fine. Fine. What do you want?"
Naruto looked up at me happily and dragged me into...oh hell no...I don't like where this is going. He dragged me into the...gift shop, the one with the pink bear. I simply stared at him in disbelief, he looked calm, BUT inside I could tell that he was cracking up.
"What does a gift shop have anything to do with me?"
"You'll see. Just follow me!"
His face was glowing with happiness as I followed him. Funny though, I never, in a long time, had made anyone smile. The feeling is and interesting feeling, nice and warm. Naruto told me to stay still while he left to get something. I waited for a few minutes feeling uncomfortable. He FINALLY came back after ten, TEN WHOLE MINUTES! He was carrying, wait, no, DRAGGING something. I felt something bad coming up.
"Uhh...Naruto...what is that?"
"Huh? Oh this?
"Yea. Why purple this time?"
"Uhh, they sold the last pink one. Well can you hold this for me?"
Don't hold it. If anyone...ANYONE catches a Hyuga genius, like the oh-so-powerful me, holding this bear-shaped cotton and fabric I swear I'll die or the person who saw me would. Yea, reason two makes more sense.
"No."
"Aww...why?! Just for a second! I just need to get something from my jacket. Just hold it, pleeeease! It's just a bear..."
"Just a bear? A five foot purple bear is JUST a bear?"
"YEA! Exactly! Bullseye! NOW HOLD IT!"
"Fine. Fine. I'll hold it ONLY for a second if you don't throw a fit."
"Alright! Thanks."
So I held it. I could feel my knees getting weaker by the second, and I was ready to choke from the embarressment. (even if it was only a couple of seconds) Naruto reached into his jacket....and pulled out something....and in a blink of a eye (i think my eye) he had this mini poloroid camera and snapped the camera gettin a picture of...me. What am I now? A model?
"Na-ru-TO!"
"Yes Neji?"
"(gritting teeth) What are you going to use that for?"
".....Blackmail?"
"(continues gritting teeth) Naruto."
"(cowering) Yes...Neji? Hehe..."
"GIVE ME THE PICTURE!"
"I'll give you the camera instead..."
"(starts to grit teeth) No...Naruto....Give. Me. The. Picture......NOW!"
And before I knew I was sticking my hand out to reach for the picture. Naruto just dodged everything. Hot or not, I WILL brutally hurt him. He continued inching backwards while I inched foward for the picture. Naruto finally tripped and fell backwards hitting his head. I was creeping over him, ready to snag the photo while he was off guard. We were so close in a corner and I was STILL holdind the bear but neither of us noticed. I finally grabbed the photo while Naruto continued rubbing his head and pouting. I smirked in respnse barely 5 inches from his face when...
"Neji? W-What are you doing h-h-holding a p-p-p-purple bear with N-N-N-Naru-N-Naruto on the floor?"
Oh my god. Tenten was standing in front of the aisle leading toward us. She was holding a large sack of money. I dropped everything I was holding in my hands in shock. Naruto snatched the photo, but I didn't really care at that moment. My face was getting hot, really hot.
"I-I-"
I closed my eyes and tried to explain everythin in a wise way, but when I opened my eyes, she was gone.
"T-Tenten?"
"What happened with Tenten? I wasn't quite listening."
Oh god. I couldn't answer Naruto for I was worried what Tenten would do with that bit of info that could ruin me for life..... After a few moments me and Naruto were kicked out of the store cause some idiotic person jumped to conclusions and reported that we were making out. The sun was starting to set when we were outside. I was ready to look for Tenten after all this was over.
"Hey Neji..."
"What?"
"Thanks for hanging with me! Cause you know....I never experienced anything like this before, not even from Iruka. It's like you're caring for me, but in a different way...."
"Are you serious?" Fate is starting to love me. Maybe I might be with Naruto in the end after all....
"Yea.........so......Can I keep the picture?!"
I nearly fell over from the change of subject. He's so unpredictable sometimes. I looked at his face and felt my face get hot, again. It was so warm, and happy. I couldn't disappoint him....no matter what.
"Sure."
"ALRIGHT!"
I slowly inched toward his face feeling his whiskers rub against my cheek, feeling his warming aura. But you see....something happened...
"Naruto."
It was the Uchiha bastard. He ruined the perfect moment. That fate-dissing bastard... Naruto, face slightly red, turned around and looked at Sasuke.
"Yes? What?"
Uchiha looked like he was thinking before he answered.
"Kakashi-sensei wants to see you. Now. In the park."
"What? Now? What does that preverted guy want now? (turns around) Hey Neji, I have to go. I'll see you later!"
Naruto ran toward the park (of course) and Sasuke followed. Something was wrong. But I couldn't tell what.
