Neji slept much nicer that night, he rolled over and yawned when a few strands of light snuck past the curtains and woke him. Neji stretched and then snuggled into his blankets, the alarm didn't even go off yet, he had plenty of time. "Mmm" He ran his fingers through his hair and smiled, deciding he just couldn't sleep any longer he walked in to the bathroom and got a shower. When he walked out holding his towel he decided he should check out the time. He picked up the clock at froze, then trailed his hand down the cord to find it unplugged. 'Shit!' his mind raced. What time was it? No time to find out that now. He raced to get dressed and grabbed his backpack before speeding out in a rush.

'Late again Neji? What is wrong with you? Why didn't Hinata wake me?' his mind raced almost as fast as his body, he didn't even slow down in the hall this time and burst through the classroom door.

"Neji! Would you care to explain to me why you are over an hour and twenty minutes late?" the teacher glared expecting a damn good excuse.

"Um…I don't really have a reason sir." The class exploded in laughter until the teacher raised his hand, signaling for it to stop.

"Sit down, Hyuuga. Don't make this a habit." he said in a deadly tone. Neji quickly took his seat and sighed.

"Nice one Hyuuga, why are you so late anyway?" Sasuke whispered from his seat.

"I don't know, I just slept in I guess." he responded then looked at Gaara "Did you find the classroom fine?"

Gaara smiled his creepy twisted smile and nodded. "Yes."

"Okay class, today there will be another review. Please open you're books to-"

Neji and Sasuke both groaned from the corner of the class. Why did they even come to review week? Sasuke grinned and nudged Neji to get his attention 'Want to get in trouble so he'll kick us out?'

Neji smiled before shaking his head 'I've gotten in too much trouble already it seems.' The other leaf nin nodded, knowing Neji was right and resumed being bored out of his mind. He settled for glaring at how Naruto continually kept trying to get Sakura's attention in class instead of his, but he was going to fix that. He had a foolproof plan. Finally the bell rang and school was at last over. Neji stood up and gathered his books together like he always had, not noticing Gaara behind who obviously was about to ask something.

Sasuke grinned and grasped Neji's arm before the red-head could say anything and hauled the Hyuuga out of the room, not before shooting Gaara a menacing smirk. Gaara's eyes narrowed as he watched the other boy yank Neji out of the classroom, he did not like the vibe the Uchiha was sending him. He gritted his teeth in annoyance, he'd have to get Neji alone.

'That's for the dirty look yesterday, kid.' Sasuke thought to himself as he let go of Neji.

"Ow, Uchiha, what was that for? I didn't forget what we were supposed to do." The other leaf nin rubbed his wrist.

"Sorry" Sasuke mumbled, not really paying attention and lead Neji down the hall and to a darkened corner. "Okay, after school Naruto follows Sakura to the music room to try and convince her to let him listen in. She just recently took an interest in the flute but is really self-conscious, so she doesn't want anyone to hear her. Since she always kicks him out Naruto will leave, passing by here, where he'll hear and see us making out." Sasuke smirked and folded his arms.

"What?" Neji stared wide-eyed. I said I'd help you think of a plan Uchiha, not act it out with you."

"But I already thought of this one, and it's practically the only one I can think that'll work. Plus I don't have to kiss Sakura. It's win-win."

"Yeah, for you!"

"That's the only person I was concerned about. Please Hyuuga?"

Neji sighed. It would be way too weird, he didn't have many friends and he didn't want it to get strange. Sasuke, in Neji's opinion, was very attractive. Why couldn't he just pick a different boy? Neji felt hesitant. He kinda wanted to try it, but it would be too ackward. "Sorry Uchiha…It'd be too weird."

Sasuke sighed. "Fine, if you won't, I'll just tell everyone you molest puppies!"

"UCHIHA!" Neji slapped a hand over his mouth, he didn't realize he yelled that loud. His face turned a deep red and he regarded his friend. He knew Sasuke wouldn't really lie to everyone and say he molested puppies, he shivered at that thought, but it did illustrate how bad Sasuke wanted his revenge. "Fine fine." Neji whispered. "I'll do it, but keep it clean at least."

Sasuke winked. "I promise noth-shh I hear him." Neji waited, sure enough he heard Naruto's muffled voice down the hall begging Sakura to let him listen and sure enough Sakura's voice was heard yelling profanities back.

Not long after the door creaked open and footsteps were heard coming down followed by Naruto's mumbling voice. Neji looked at Sasuke, "Are you sure you want to do this? What if he freaks out?"

"Nah, the dobe is just getting a taste of his own medicine. Don't worry, I wouldn't actually let him hurt you."

"I can take care of myself thank you very much Uchiha."

"Fine fine, shhh time to get ready." Sasuke pushed Neji against the wall and almost as if a switch was turned on in his brain began ravishing the other nin's lips with his own. Neji, who was taken by surprise needed a moment to catch up and remember what was going on. He didn't need long, because soon they were attacking each other's mouth in a fight for dominance. 'Wow, Uchiha has so much energy' the hyuuga thought quietly as he tugged on the other's lips. Shikamaru never kissed him like this before, this had force behind it. Neji's eyes rolled back as he felt a hand tug at the zipper to his shirt, Sasuke seemed to be really into this revenge thing which at the moment was perfectly fine with him.

The footsteps got closer, almost there when a door was heard opening and Sakura's voice was heard yelling out at the blonde. "Naruto! You forgot your chopsticks, why are they gree-oh you are sick! Don't you clean them?"

Naruto grinned, planting his chopsticks there to gain him another few minutes with the pink-haired beauty was brilliant, he turned and started running back. "Of course I was gonna wash them, I was just gonna wait till I went to the bathroom first."

"Ewwww" was all the other responded.

Meanwhile, just down the hall Sasuke had managed to unzip and unstrap Neji's shirt, which hung loosely off his shoulder's. "It'll be more convincing this way." The shorter-hair nin mumbled into Neji's neck before sucking on it.

"Okay." was all Neji managed to murmur back, he wasn't really paying attention except to the fact his shirt was half off and it wasn't fair that Sasuke still had his on. So he showed his annoyance by constantly pulling on it, eventually getting fed up and telling Sasuke to just take it off, which he did quite obediently earning a growl of approval from Neji.

Sasuke grinned while staring Neji up and down. "Ready to make it really convincing?"

Neji nodded, eyes half lidded. Sasuke probably could have said anything at that moment and have Neji agree, but instead he settled for pressing his bare chest against the Hyuuga's and lifting him off his feet. Neji's leg's quickly found themselves wrapped around the Uchiha's waist and his back supported against the wall. Sasuke managed to pull out that annoying hair elastic and free Neji's hair, which cascaded down both the Hyuuga's and Sasuke's shoulders.

Then the footsteps were heard again. "He's coming back" Neji found himself whispering, although not really caring. Sasuke just grunted and kissed him deeply before nibbling down his neck. Neji moaned and squeezed his eyes shut, arching his neck up and purred as Sasuke found his way into the crevice of his throat. "U-uch…chih.. Sasuke." Neji moaned, he never called Sasuke his informal name before, but enjoyed the way it rolled off his tongue. Sasuke must have taken pleasure from it as well because the Uchina purred in approval, another sound Neji thoroughly enjoyed as he ran his nails down Sasuke's back.

Then the footsteps rounded the corner and stopped. Neji and Sasuke both cracked an eye open to see the expression on Naruto's face, which Sasuke previously mentioned would be 'priceless'. The expression was priceless, Shikamaru gaped back, eyes wide from shock. Neji instantly felt like someone had thrown his stomach onto a wild Disney ride as it lurched violently. He never imagined Shikamaru would be here, god, why was he here? It was supposed to be Naruto, this wasn't working out right at all. As soon as he thought it, Neji heard more footsteps and then Naruto's blonde hair came into view.

"Hey Shikamaru, what're ya gawking at?" Naruto turned, saw them and froze as well.

Neji suddenly felt like he was a sideshow attraction, he didn't like this anymore. Neji turned his head and looked away, hoping Sasuke would take charge and start explaining. Sasuke just glanced back at his audience and smirked.

"A little privacy please?" Shikamaru tried to mask his astonishment and turned away. He suddenly didn't feel too good, he had to leave. Right away.

"S-sorry…I.." he couldn't finish, he bolted down the hall at top speed hoping the moisture welling up in his eyes wasn't tears.

Naruto however couldn't budge, his legs felt like they were cemented to the floor. He stared at Sasuke and then to Neji. Neji felt those eyes watching him as he pulled his shirt across his chest, suddenly feeling a little more exposed then he wanted to be. 'Sasuke, do something.' he inwardly whined and found himself relieved when Sasuke began to speak.

"Oh hey there Naruto, Still trying to get Sakura's attention? Well, better luck next time I guess." his words were dripping with satisfaction.

Naruto continued to stare at the hyuuga. "N-neji?" He didn't respond, he settled for zipping up his shirt and hiding his embarrassment as best he could.

"What's wrong Naruto? This...this doesn't bother you does it?" Sasuke was loving every minute of it. The jealousy was evident on Naruto's face just as he said it would be.

"I..uh..n-no. Of course not." he lied, slowly taking a step back.

"Good." Sasuke responded coolly. "Then you won't mind leaving then right?" Naruto's face turned red and he stomped away.

Neji breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness he didn't feel those eyes on him anymore. He looked up and noticed Sasuke shaking a little. "Sasuke, are you alright?" he placed a hand on his shoulder to comfort him, thinking how it must have upset him to do that to someone he cared about. Sasuke raised his hand and placed it over Neji's looking up and grinning at him, shaking from the laughter he was trying to keep down until it finally exploded and echoed down the halls.

"Did you see it? His face? Didn't I tell you, didn't I?"

"Uchiha…" Neji furrowed his brow and continued "He looked really hurt."

"So? What do you think he was doing to me when he constantly ran after Sakura?"

"Even so…I don't know, it just didn't seem right." Sasuke gripped Neji's chin firmly and forced him to meet his gaze.

"Hyuuga, it was fair. He'll get over it. I'm going to talk to him about it tonight."

"You better…" he mumbled back and gasped when he felt Sasuke press his lips against his. "U-uchiha!"

"Relax, I was just having a little fun Neji." He let the boy unwrap his legs from his waist and grinned.

"You called me Neji." he finally said, a little surprised.

"So? You called me Sasuke. I was just returning the favor." he smirked at Neji's flushed face and picked up his shirt. "I'll see you around Neji, thanks for the help." he winked and walked out of the school.

Neji exhale noisily and leaned against the wall, slowly sliding down to the floor. As much as he enjoyed that brief moment between him and his friend he couldn't shake the feeling of being used. He leaned his head against the cool wall, hoping it'll help calm his thoughts. Maybe fate would be nice to him and give him some time to think for himself. The silence didn't last long, he heard the sound of footsteps again, thanks a lot fate.
