(A/N)
o0o change in scene


It was the tenth time Naruto banged on the Hyuuga's wooden gate. He could hear screaming and crying from the other side. Eversince Hinata gave birth to the twins, the Hyuuga mansion was everything BUT quiet.

Naruto sighed as he turned to leave, he really didn't want to go to Neji, he'd rather go to Ero-Sennin for help than Neiji, but then again... Soon the gates flew open, showing Neji with eyes half open due to lack of sleep.

"Sorry to keep you waiting everybody's busy with the twins. Oh, Naruto. What...are you..err...uhm..come in." Neji said as he ushered the kitsune inside their mansion.

"Is everything fine Neji? I mean, I could always come back some other time you know." Naruto said with a slight blush on his cheeks.

Neiji took one look at Naruto and knew something was bothering his Naruto.

Naruto was wearing a black t-shirt with Konoha's symbol at the center,khaki cargo pants and sandals, it was normal, yes, but not to Neji. Naruto was not wearing his hina-ate (forehead protector) and Neji knows Naruto too well, he never forgets his hina-ate.

"Neiji?" Naruto asked to get his attention.

"Iiye (1) it's okay, Hinata-sama will be happy to see you." Neji replied as he walked along the corridors.

It's been a year since Hinata and Neji got married and a month since Hine and Jita were born. Neji still calls Hinata "sama" since he still thinks that respect is still a must. Hinata on the other hand dislikes this.

"Ohayou Hinata-chan!(2)" Naruto greeted.

"Ohayou Naru-san" Hinata replied with a smile.

Eversince Hinata became a chunnin, she stoped stuttering, which made verybody very thankful. (o.O')

"What would you want Naru-san?" The paled skin girl asked.

Neji raised an eyebrow and asked,

"Are you seriously asking him that question Hinata-sama?"

Naruto blushed lightly and nudged Neji to stop making stupid comments and exclaimed,

"Uruhe Neji!(3)" Then he turned to Hinata and continued, "I just ate Hina-chan, so i'll just have tea thank you."

"Okay then." Hinata replied as she walked towards the direction of the kitchen.

After a few more minutes Neji looked at Naruto. Naruto's eyes were in a daze, obviously lost in his own thoughts. Neji tapped Naruto on the shoulder and asked,

"What's the problem?"

The blonde kitsune walked outside the room and sat on the floor of the hall, facing the huge ass zen garden of the Hyuugas.

"How are the kids? Is Hine still biting stuff? Her teeth are really strong you know. And what about Jita? I bet he's the one I heard crying while I was still outside." Naruto started.

The pupil-less jounin sighed, shook his head and stood beside Naruto, arms crossed on his chest.

"Something's bothereing you. Spit it out kit. What is it?" Neji asked.

Silence.

Naruto was hesitant, Neji knew him too well, well enough to know when he was unhappy or when he has a problem. Why wouldn't he? Neiji's like his big brother, and for five years he was more than that.

After the sandaime's funeral Naruto was walking back to his apartment when he saw Neiji standing infront of his door. He asked Neji what he was doing there, Neji just smirked and kissed him on the lips. Eversince that day they've been together.

Nobody knew about them, just Hinata and Iruka-sensei.

The marriage broke their relationship. It was a decision of the whole clan, a way of keeping the 'Byakugen'. Hinata tried her best to protest, but with no luck at all. Neji and Naruto remained friends, but a gap between them cannot be denied.

Naruto sighed, knowing that there is no way of hiding anything from the older shinobi and replied,

"He kissed me."

Neji smirked,

"When?"

"A couple of hours ago."

"Where?"

"In my apartment."

"No, i meant..where?"

Naruto looked up at Neji with a puzzled look and blushed when he got his point.

"Lips."

"How?"

Naruto's slight blushed turned bright red and exclaimed,

"How the fuck should i know!"

"Shut up and answer."

"I-I-I dunno!"

Neji sighed and asked again,

"Tongue?"

Naruto shook his head lightly and replied,

"nah..i punched him before he could."

Neji chuckled and replied,

"Just like what you did to me when i first kissed you, ne kit?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"And your problem is...?"

"..."

Neji sighed once again, sat down beside his kit and asked,

"Afraid kit?"

"..."

Neji looked at the sky and said,

"Don't be. We weren't able to settle things between us before the marriage. You just told me you understood the situation and then you left. I knew you'd understand it and that you'll accept the reality no matter how harsh it is, but i also know that you were very hurt, i know because i was also hurt and still am. Naruto, you are everything to me but things are just not meant for us.

I know you're scared, that you might lose him the way you lost me or that he might leave, again, but know this Naruto, I won't leave you with anybody else except for that bastard. You know how much i hate the Uchiha, especially when he left for Orochimaru, but he's the only person in this world whom i can trust when it comes to taking care of you."

Naruto looked at neji and asked,

"Why Neji? I mean, you hate the guy right? Why would you let him have me?"

Neji smiled at his kit and place a small peck on Naruto's lips and rested his forehead on Naruto's own forehead

"Because i can see my eyes in his."

The younger shinobi tilted his head in confusion. Neji chuckled, faced the garden and added,

"His eyes, I can clearly see love in his eyes..."

Neji looked at Naruto again, smiled and continued,

"Love that i used to have, that still have and will forever have for a certain loud mouth blonde shinobi who i will always refer to as 'my kit'."

Naruto punched neji's shoulder lightly and looked at the clear blue sky, sighed and said,

"Hn...thanks Neji, but can i ask you something? How did you know who it was? You didn't asked who kissed me and yet you knew it was Sasuke."

Neji chuckled again and added,

"Want to know something kit? I think you like him, because if you didn't you wouldn't train yourself to bring his sorry ass back to Konoha and you wouldn't really be bothered by him kissing you." Then Neji's face dropped as he continued, "The thing is Naruto, i was jealous of him and in fact i still am. He's your rival, your team mate and your bestfriend, while i was just your lover. And now he's the one who's always with you. Sometimes I wonder if you'd do the same for me if i ran off like he did. Anyway that's not what we're talking about now is it?" Neji ended with a sad smile.

"Neji.."

Naruto moved closer to Neji and closed the distance between them with a kiss, as tears fell down from their eyes, knowing that this will be the last kiss they would ever share.

A/N:ahaha.. there was nothing said between the two when the marriage was announced and they weren't able to talk after that either..leaving the both of them hanging..leaving things unsaid..there was no formal break up so the result is this..ehehehe..anyway.. don't worry things will be okay between Naruto and Neji in the next chapters..and it will be SasuNaru/NaruSasu in the end so no worries..hehe..
