Chappie 1: Neji's Confession! What's This—If You're Not the One?

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

It was such a fine afternoon in Konohagure that the day just couldn't get any more peaceful than it was.

Yes, the sun shone warmly over clear blue skies, birds were singing their best melodies, flowers were dancing as though celebrating that bright sunny day and the gentle breeze swept softly through the busy—yet not overly crowded—streets of Konoha.

The calming atmosphere was so serene yet spiced with a touch of liveliness that no one even thought of bad things occurring—not even our favourite ninja, Uzumaki Naruto.

Naruto was probably the happiest nin in the whole village that day. Trotting cheerfully with a little spring in his steps, and the merry sound of coins jiggling (heavy with promise, of course) in his froggie purse tucked in his orange jacket, the blonde was heading straight towards the location of Ichiraku, the only place that could send him directly to seventh heaven. He was a happy blonde, yes he was—he had gained a huge victory against his own Iruka-sensei in a poker game last night and as a result, he was feeling as rich as a king and planned to spend every cent on heavenly ramen. On a side story, Iruka-sensei was busy licking his wounds of his defeat back home with a certain grey-haired jounin comforting him right by his side…hmm, nevermind about that.

Moving on…

Naruto was already taking his seat on his favourite stool and ordered seven bowls of miso ramen with a gleeful grin.

"Hey oji-san! Make sure there're all in big bowls coz it's my day today!"

"Ah, finally hitting the big jackpot, eh?"

"Hee hee, you haf' no idea!"

As the first steaming bowl arrived, Naruto clapped his hands together to thank kami-sama for a splendid feast, pulled apart his chopsticks and was about to stuff his face with kami-sama's food when suddenly, unexpectedly—out of nowhere…

"Ittadakima—"

"NARUTO!"

The voice that yelled at him was so loud as though magnified that the blonde jumped a clean two metres from his seat before crashing down head first between two stools with his feet dangling in mid-air. Funnily, the bowl of ramen didn't even move a centimetre as though oblivious to its' surroundings.

"What the hell…"

Swaying a bit, Naruto clumsily picked himself up and rubbed at the back of his head, muttering incoherent words before realising something. He turned his back sharply to yell at whoever it was who ruined his perfect lunchtime— yet no words came out as he features twisted in frozen shock at the sight before him.

"N-Neji?"

And yes, it was Neji standing before him right in the middle of the street, clad in a sexy yet simple (note: sleeveless) cotton white turtleneck that bared his creamy white well-toned arms, complete with a tight beige leather pants that deliciously clung to his hips like second skin, and not forgetting the beige hat with a folded tip at the side (think Michael Jackson's). His gorgeous Herbal-Essence-commercial hair was flowing freely behind his back like a black satin scarf in the wind, and in his right hand clutched a wireless microphone that you can get from those high-rated karaoke clubs. Behind him however, stood a suspicious black high stool which commonly used for solo acts (singing, you perverts!) and a microphone stand.

Neji simply gave a sensuous smile that could drown the girls in their drools and hung his head low, all the while holding his hat on his pretty head. He took a step backwards and seated himself on the black stool, adjusted his mike on the stand, and by then almost a third-quarter of Konoha's female population were already there hogging at the street, circling Neji with dreamy—yet some were more sickeningly scary—faces. Obviously not excluding the male residents as well. The source of all the attention came from the camera lights surrounding Neji, which was not hard to miss nearly throughout the village itself (those damn lights could be even brighter in daytime).

Whipping up a shiny guitar suddenly out of thin air, the Hyuuga prodigy cleared his throat in a way that a girl fainted to the ground and spoke in a smooth, silky voice into the microphone.

"My dearest Naruto…I have to admit that I was a fool not to notice your alluring existence before. Ever since that fight we had, I could not stop thinking about you. I will not speak any further, because I will present something so deep, so beautiful, so enchanting as you are that I am willing to risk my pride as a Hyuuga, as proof of my feelings towards you…"

He idly tuned his fine guitar; pale callused fingers strumming the strings to make sure everything was perfect.

"Naruto, this is for you…"

Before Naruto could even react—before the blonde could even think of making a bloody move—even before the blonde's nerves could send emergency signals to his already corrupted brain—Neji sang.

Neji sang a freakin' song with a freakin' guitar—all freakin' acoustic baby. It wasn't as if his voice was not hella hot, and it wasn't as if he couldn't strum his guitar like that of a music god, but the fact Neji—the genius Neji of the proud Hyuuga clan—was using his voice in an arranged melody of words and rhythm besides the usual grunts, snide comments or constant drawling about fates and destinies, and he was using his to-die-for white hands on a musical instrument—rather than forming a fatal jutsu.

"If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?"

And with this Neji outstretched his right hand to a gaping, pale-white Naruto; his palm wide open in the most sentimental and emotional way a lover could sing his heart out to his beloved. Mists began to form from the sides of the camera lights, giving a more dramatic effect to the already dramatic act.

"If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all…"

Half of the female including male population either fainted from nosebleed, ear bleed or just foaming in the mouth. Naruto however; he was too flabbergasted by the scene in front him that he just stood there with eyes almost popping out of their sockets, and a knitted frown that didn't even look like a frown anymore.

"I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with…"

Neji flashed a uber-sexy smile that made a few girls swoon and faint at a corner; he then stood up, placed his guitar down beside the stool—and unexpectedly snapped his fingers.

As though it was right on cue—an entrancing melody rose unexpectedly out of nowhere. The mist began to clear and in puzzlement, the crowd backed up and averted their gaze to one corner where, seated behind Neji, a certain brown-haired guy was strumming on another acoustic guitar with a deep frown on his face. To Kiba's right, Chouji was surprisingly an expert with percussions; concentration written all over his face as he tried to level his tempo with Kiba's (his mind was also occupied with the huge amount of potato chips and barbeque coupons Neji promised in his favour).

Wearing a faded brown sweatshirt and grey baggy pants, Kiba scowled as he tried to ignore the pure humiliation upon him while plucking his guitar. What had made Kiba, the sexy lord of the dogs, into this awful mess?

Flashback

Neji began massaging his temple to ease another threatening vein from popping out. Face already a pinkish hue; his dignity barely could live out of this MAJOR embarrassment. Still, he couldn't feel less agitated with this dog-boy he was currently facing.

"THE FUCK? Naruto? Damn, I can't believe it—of all people—what are you, some sort of a friggin' gay or somethin'?"

The venomous glare directed to Kiba then was enough to send the dog-lover cowering behind his grandmother's skirts.

"H-Hey take it easy, I'm just kiddin' there. But seriously man, playing for the dumb blonde is—"

"I will arrange a date for you and Hinata-sama, if that would please you."

Kiba spluttered at that, face turning a brilliant shade of deep magenta.

End flashback

Kiba gave a small sigh. The things he would do to get his girl…

An immense roar of cheers and applause thundered from the people around them and Neji smiled in approval—a steady beat of bass and drums followed right after, blending into the music. The mist faded completely, and beside Kiba was Shikamaru behind a drum set, who was skilfully—yet lacked with enthusiasm—creating a solid tempo for the song. Next to the lazy nin however, stood Ten Ten on a purple bass guitar, smiling ear-to-ear as she watched her team mate strutting his hot stuff in front of his—well, crush (Ten Ten laughed silently at this).

Neji unhooked his mike and continued singing with incredibly stunning vocals no one knew he had, and with that beautiful sounds of strings emerged from the background; near Ten Ten, violins were played by Ino and Hinata who were both (surprisingly for Hinata) clad in leather miniskirts. Kiba stole a glance at the shy girl, and when both pair of eyes met, the two instantly blushed and turned away at the same time. Ino just grinned by their sweet-saccharine antics.

Flashback

It was creating a pain in the ass for Neji's time and dignity to speak to them one by one, so the Hyuuga genius decided to assemble Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino, Hinata and his own team mate Ten Ten (funnily again, Shino, Lee and Sakura were nowhere in sight) in requesting for their "humble" help regarding the "big event": his major confession towards a certain blonde. Various reactions came after that: Shikamaru merely scratched behind his head ("Ah, I might have known, but this is really troublesome"), Chouji almost dropped his ever-present bag of potato chips, Hinata fidgeted and blushed furiously, Ten Ten clapped her hands together in glee and 'kyaaaa'-ed (another yaoi-lover, perhaps?), and Ino, well—

"Hah, I've always known you were never straight!"

Shikamaru of course, thought it was too troublesome, but after Neji probed him upon a secluded yet beautiful place to watch clouds that was waiting for him, the lazy nin sighed and gave up. He convinced himself that the event might be interesting, and he hoped it wouldn't be too bothersome.

Ten Ten and Ino agreed without even the slightest hesitation; in Ino's place, one wouldn't get a hot sempai asking for one's help everyday. Hinata meekly said yes too ("I-I would b-be h-honoured to h-help you, N-Neji nii-san") and Chouji was already dancing over the moon upon Neji's promise to provide an enormous amount of his favourite food.

Neji smiled in triumph, and breathed in the air of satisfaction. Everything was going according to plan.

End of flashback

The peaceful place of Ichiraku had now fully transformed into an open concert as more citizens of Konoha flooded the place, rushing and pushing in to see the pale boy sing—a once-in-a-lifetime occasion that was once beyond everyone's wildest dreams.

"I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand…
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?"

Whatever that was alive inside Naruto's brain at that moment had shrivelled up and died on the spot. Clutching to his heart as though it was going to burst out of his chest, his other hand absentmindedly gripped the leather seat of his stool as he stumbled backwards; his mouth had been gaping like a goldfish for the last ten seconds—unable or rather, forgotten how to breathe for a while. Finally catching his breath, the blonde began inhaling sweet oxygen in noisy gasps though his mouth and breathed out in raspy breaths, trying his best to utter something, anything —normally again.

At last after a few attempts, he blurted out in a cracked voice, "N-Neji…W-Wha—" but it was drowned out completely; the noise from crowd was way too deafening for his squeaky voice to be heard.

The little Narutos that still survived inside Naruto's head were scampering around in a frenzy, trying to distinguish between sending signals of dead embarrassment, howls of laughter, crying in a heap, yelling his lungs off or simply brain dead. Somehow the little Narutos decided the last choice would be appropriate at that point of time.

As Neji was singing the third verse of the song in his uber-silky voice, the little Narutos started wrestling each other in the poor blonde's head; Naruto's knees just gave away and he slumped onto the ground with a dull thud, legs sprawling in a rather awkward position. Meanwhile, troops of medical nins were ordered by the Hokage (she couldn't help being so amused by the whole situation and therefore decided to wait around to see what'd happen next, but of course the residents of Kohona was her top priority) to carry out citizens who had passed out during the whole commotion.

"I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms…"

The music came to an abrupt stop as the now-sensational Hyuuga genius dropped his mike on his last sentence and strolled seductively towards Naruto, who was in a reckless heap under the table and between the stools of Ichiraku. Chouji throwed a clip-on microphone towards Neji, who caught it perfectly and continued advancing towards his precious blonde. Naruto was shaking frantically trying to his best to move —to just do something other than gawking at the pale Hyuuga as though the boy had grown an extra hairy nose (not that his nose was actually hairy).

"'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away…"

Neji was getting closer and Naruto madly backed away even though his back already pressed against the cool wood of the table underneath—it was as if the table would just swallow him whole if he kept backing up persistently.

"And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today…"

Naruto tried to move his wobbly legs but they seem to be paralyzed at the critical moment—"N-Neji, w-w-wait—"and finally the traumatized blonde shut his eyes tight in defeat and prayed for kami-sama to wake him up from this sheer horror of a nightmare.

"'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side…"

Help me kami-sama, I'll never tease Iruka-sensei again!

"I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms…"

I'll even give my share of ramen to him!

And the pale boy was right on top of the blonde.

NYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Apart from the whole hullabaloo, none of them realised there was someone who was intensely watching from above in a nearby tree; someone who had the most wicked eyes and a sadistic smile creeping behind the dark shades of the tree leaves.
