Hyuuga Neji…
Sabaku no Gaara…
Uchiha Sasuke…
I have seemingly lost my inspiration for this fic…probably because of my little rabbit, but it's not forgotten. My holiday is coming up in a week or less so I have time to update lots during that time, yeah…
Cheers.
Thanks for all the roses, I'm sure my bunny appreciates it.
"It's been almost three days already! It only takes three days to get to Sand and it's even further away than Sound!" Sasuke shouted out as he stabbed a Sound nin in his abdomen.
"We'll just have to wait until they arrive!" Haru yelled back while he performed a water elemental technique.
"This is stupid."
"Think of it as training then, since you love to train."
"Shut up."
"How many are you up to?" Neji panted as he readied himself for the oncoming attack from a platoon of chounins.
"100, but I was being nice to them." Gaara spoke calmly as he used his sand to do all the fighting and killing for him.
"Che…" Neji smirked at him.
"Why do I have to fight alone? This is soooo stupid! I hate it!" Naruto yelled out as he clenched and unclenched his fists over and over again.
"Boy, pay attention when you're fighting or else I might kill you."
"Shut up, I don't have time for a guy like you."
"Why you little brat, you'll pay for those words." The masked nin growled at him and charged to Naruto.
"Eat THIS!" Naruto yelled out as he delivered a punch to the shinobi's face.
"Kiss my ass, you bastard." Naruto sneered at the fallen nin and walked away from his area, in search of anybody, but preferably Gaara or Haru.
"Do you think Naruto would be angry for making him fight alone?" Haru asked Sasuke as he finished of the last of the platoons.
"Wouldn't know, don't care."
"You don't care about Naruto? Why? You guys were on the same team."
"Doesn't matter, I'd rather fight alone. He always gets in my way and I have to rescue him."
"That's what team-mates are for. They look out for each other."
"Yea…"
"…I don't know which way to go, everywhere I turn, I see Sound-nins…" Naruto talked to himself as he turned a corner, and sure enough, he bumped into a platoon of chounin level Sound shinobis.
"Speak of the devil, or devils I should say." Naruto sneered at them.
"Get him!" one of the masked nins shouted out as him and his group of followers ran up to him with a kunai or shuriken in hand. Naruto prepared himself for a seemingly short fight since he was angry for being left alone.
"I'm damned pissed off, but I guess I can take it all out on you freaks!" Naruto started to perform his favourite technique, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.
"They're coming." Neji spoke as he stared through the building, Gaara wonders why he was almost glaring at the building with such disgusts but realized that he was using his Byakugan so he decided to shrug it off.
"Good. I need a bath." Gaara slumped forward a bit but glared at the next arrival of enemy ninjas.
"They seem to be coming by the dozen…"
"It would seem so…"
"Goddammit! Where the hell is everybody when ya need them!" Naruto threw his arms in the air as he yelled out with all his might, with a low growl he walked off in a different direction with hands in his pockets.
"Neji…" Gaara looked at him from the corner of his eye while still in a fighting position.
"What."
"Do you like Sakura." the red head couldn't help but leer at him a little bit. It was more of a statement than a question though.
"Why." Speaking as he looked around with his Byakugan.
"You kissed her."
Neji remained silent, trying to find the right words to express how he feels about her and also not to make Gaara jump down his throat. When Neji drew in a breath to say something, he was interrupted by the three platoons to take over their jobs.
"I'm sorry we're late, we fell behind schedule. We can take over from here on out." One of the Konoha-nins named Suchi spoke. Neji nodded to him and was about to leave when he spoke again. "And also, Tsunade-Sama would like to speak with all of you when you return. You must go there straight away."
"Fine." Neji nodded once more and departed to find the others.
"Alpha and Gamma to Theta, Sigma and Beta. Report to base for return home, over."
"Roger that, leaving positions now."
"Signing off."
"Sakura-nee-chan…when is Haru-nii-chan coming back?" the little girl beside the pink haired shinobi spoke.
"I don't know, but I hope they come back soon."
"Ok, can we get some ramen?" Chiyako smiled innocently as Sakura's eye twitched.
"You just had one an hour ago."
"Yeah, but that was only one, I want another one. Please! Pretty please with a katana on top?" she pouted her lips and batted her eyes at Sakura who returned it with another twitch.
"Last one…" Sakura gave in as Chiyako leaped for joy and ran off to Ichiraku Ramen while Sakura walked after her. 'I've gone broke…I need a mission…'
"YOU'RE LATE!" Naruto yelled and pointed to Sasuke and Haru as they made their appearance.
"Sorry?" Haru scratched the back of his head with one hand and smiled half-heartedly.
"Can we go now?" Naruto turned around to stare at Neji who was leaning on a tree.
"Yeah, sure." Neji pushed himself off the tree and gathered his pack and walked off, followed by the others. "We have to report to Hokage-Sama as soon as we set foot in the village."
"What? I wanna eat ramen as soon as I get back." Naruto slouched forward as he stared at Neji in disbelief.
"Hokage's order. No complaints." Neji didn't even turn around to look at the blonde, but continued walking off anyway.
"Don't worry, we can eat ramen as soon as we're done with Hokage-sama." Haru smiled at Naruto as he walked beside him but whispered into his ear. "I bet I can eat more than you."
"Is that a challenge?" Naruto smirked at him.
"Hell yeah."
"You're on!" Naruto did a high five with him as they ran off back home. Neji walked along side with Gaara with a bit of distance between them while Sasuke remained at the back. Although Neji didn't exactly walk beside Gaara, he couldn't help but feel that he was right there, right beside him. Soon and yet no soon, he fell to the back and Gaara followed.
"What were you gonna say before we got interrupted?" Gaara spoke while he walked in front of Neji with his arms crossed. The said person remained quiet, thinking back of what he should say and how he should say it. He drew in a breath.
"I'm in love with her."
Gaara's eyes widened when he heard those words and stopped dead on the way back. Sasuke, even though he was far away from them, he wasn't far enough from ear-shot. He too, stopped and tilted his head slightly to hear better.
"What…did you say?" Gaara turned his head and watched Neji from the corner of his eye.
"I'm in love with her. Or can you not comprehend what that means?" Neji narrowed his eyes at him as he fully turned around to meet his challenge.
"She's mine."
"She can never be yours." Sasuke spoke up as he walked up to them, both him and Neji standing on either side of Gaara.
"Nor yours." Gaara looked sideways to Sasuke.
"She can only belong to one person." Neji eyes shifted from Sasuke then Gaara.
'And that person is me.' They thought in unison.
Neh…that was a bit short no?
I got a new rabbit…just to help me get over my other one. They look kinda similar too. Hehe.
