Even Walls Have Ears

Neji was in the best of best moods. You probably would be too if the man you loved stuck his tongue down your throat and joined you in the hottest make out session of your life. Neji was really endlessly happy. His joy was barely contained. He would have gone smiling and skipping through the streets if he didn't have an image to maintain. He settled for just smiling.

He swung his bag over his shoulder as he made his way to the Hyuuga manor.

'Eeeeeeeee!' Neji squealed in his head like a little girl, 'I can't believe that happened! He kissed me! He made out with me and even let me sleep with him!'

Neji halted in the street with the silliest of happy smiles on his face. He breathed in deeply and let out a contented sigh. Right now he felt like spreading his arms and announcing his love for the blonde to the whole world. He wasn't going to last long like this. He had to tell someone!

When he reached the Hyuuga house, he cheerfully swung the door open.

"TADAIMA!" his voice echoed through the empty garden louder than he had intended it to. Well, at least now all of the Hyuugas should be awake if they weren't already.

"Oh...Neji-chan? Is that you...?" a shriveled old voice asked.

"Grandpa!" the healthy Hyuuga turned and bid the old, hunched over man a good morning. This ancient man was always near the front of the house. In his youth, he was a strict, conservative, and temperamental man, much like Hiashi. Now he was no more than a harmless old man that spent his whole day in the garden.

'I definitely can't tell you,' Neji thought as he ran to his quarters in the Branch House section of the manor.

When he reached his room, there was someone waiting for him in front of his door. His little cousin was waiting at his door with her back leaned up against it. When she saw her cousin, she smiled a purely happy smile.

"Welcome home, Nii-san!"

"Thank you, Hinata," he fought down his growing smile.

"Otousan wanted me to tell you breakfast would be ready for you when you came home. We expected you to be a little e-earlier...n-not that you're late or anything!" she fumbled shyly with her fingers as Neji carefully set his bag on his bed. When he was ready to go to the dining room, she smiled up at him again, "I'm glad you're back, Neji-nii-san!"

Naruto woke up feeling very groggy, like he had spent all of last night drinking irresponsibly.

'What a second...I did,' he rubbed his temples and yawned loudly. 'My head hurts. Kyuubi! Do something about that.'

Somewhere deep in his abdomen a nine-tailed demon growled. He sat up a little more and untangled the covers that had been wrapped around his legs. He rubbed his eyes and yawned once more, never noticing the fierce knocks at his door. It wasn't until he heard the angry yells behind the knocks that he realized someone was trying to get his attention.

"HOKAGE! YOU FLIPPING IDIOT! ARE YOU AWAKE OR AM I GONNA HAVE TO POUND ON THIS DOOR ALL DAY?" the unmistakable voice of an irritated Kiba shouted.

"Come in," Naruto mumbled wearily. He wondered how the dog-faced man could manage to keep that horrible temper of his without spontaneously combusting. The door was kicked open roughly and Kiba stomped into the room. Due to his headache, Naruto didn't have the energy to cheerfully wish the Inuzuka a good morning. Instead he asked for the time, his voice making him sound completely exhausted.

"What does it matter now what time it is?" Kiba growled, "You've already missed your meeting to feed the homeless, you idiot!"

"Huh? We have homeless?" Naruto gaped.

"Yeah...you know, Bob...Dammit Naruto! That's not the point! You were supposed to be up an hour and a half ago!"

It was nice to be famous and powerful. On the one hand, you had loyal followers that would lick yours toes and wipe your ass if you asked them too. On the other hand, you had those people that made it their jobs to tell you what you were doing wrong all day, everyday. Not to mention those childhood friends that knew too much about you to ever look beyond the time they caught you picking your nose or ditching class. The title and power didn't phase them. They would keep on nagging you until you died or went insane.

"You ass! Do you know how long I've been pounding on that frickin' door? What the hell am I supposed to tell Bob? He's probably starving now because of you!"

"SO BUILD HIM A HOUSE! DAMN IT! WILL YOU SHUT UP, KIBA?" Naruto snapped. He wondered how it was impossible for Konoha to attend to one homeless guy's needs. "I'm tired..."

Naruto felt the silky sheets around him. He had a sudden feeling he had forgotten something. The scarlet sheets that always seemed to look better at night were sightly sweaty. All of the sudden, he remembered. He looked up quickly to face Kiba. The spiky haired boy instantly turned his angry gaze to the window, a light blush tinting his tan cheeks.

"Where's Neji?"

"U-Uhh...he...he l-left early this morning," Kiba stuttered and awkwardly tried to move his hands in a comfortable position, which only made him more uncomfortable. The blonde quirked a brow.

"What the hell is your problem?"

Kiba turned to pin the other man with his glare.

"I heard e-everything last night! These ears aren't just for show, you know!" the man indicated his slightly pointed ears.

'Oh...that's right. Super hearing,' Naruto closed his eyes. It seems each year his ears get better and better. You can't whisper around Kiba without him hearing.

"What are you talking about, Kiba?" Naruto feigned ignorance.

"Y-You know! You and N-Neji screwing like bunnies all night long!" his face was now bright red.

"W-WHAT? SCREWING LIKE BUNNIES?" Naruto scampered the the edge of his bed and grabbed Kiba's collar, "I think you need your ears checked!"

"Oh, yeah? Then what else were you doing that made you both moan 'n groan in here? You were at it for hours!" he spat back.

"Hours?" Had Naruto really lost track of time that badly?

"Yeah, you idiot! You were probably too wrapped up in screwing him senseless to notice, but I heard every frickin' thing! When he was beggin' you for more I couldn't take it anymore and I put my headphones!"

"Oh..."

"Don't 'Oh' me, you bastard! You scarred me for life! You know I finally took my headphones off an hour later and I could STILL hear you! You frickin' sicko pervert – "

"Alright! Alright! Geez...If it makes you feel better, we weren't having sex."

Kiba blinked.

"Say what? T-Then what where you doing?"

Naruto sighed. He was starting to get a little embarrassed. How to explain this in a nice way...

"Nothing. We were just kissing," he said. Kiba scrunched up his features.

"Why?" he squinted his eyes and shook his head as he spoke.

"I dunno. Seemed like the thing to do at the time," the blonde shrugged and got out of bed.

"Seemed like the thing to do! If you felt like screwing his brains out, would you have done that too?" Kiba flipped out and followed the staggering Hokage to the bathroom door.

"Hell no! I don't know how to have sex with men!"

Naruto's answer left Kiba with an odd expression on his face. He decided he honestly didn't want to know.

Back at the Hyuuga household, Neji completed his chores with a cheerful expression plastered to his face. His eyes were closed in contentment and his lips seemed to be permanently curved in a little grin. Whenever Hinata caught his glance, she giggled like a schoolgirl. She found this change in her cousin irresistibly cute. She had a vague understanding of why it was there.

Hiashi, however, had a different reaction to all this. At first he was pleasantly surprised to see his nephew in such high spirits, but now, he was starting to get suspicious. Neji hung clothes to dry with a smile on his face and did everything else with a cheerful demeanor.

This head of the household was reasonable in his suspicion. It was fine for the boy to be just a little more pleasant and kind to his cousin and himself after a good week in a new exciting job, but Neji never hummed while doing chores. He always kept a serious and dedicated expression.

He decided he would have to keep an eye on the boy while he was here for the weekend.

Most of the afternoon, Neji did chore upon chore and ran errands for the other members of the household. All this was incredibly boring and Neji always considered this type of thing to be below him. Being a member of the Branch house, he didn't have much choice.

The only person in the whole Hyuuga household he truly considered to be his friend was Hinata. He was dying to tell her everything about him and Naruto. She would understand. After most of his chores and errands, he asked her to train with him in order to get that chance to tell her everything.

Her gaze was intensely focused. She never played around when she was training.

"HA!" her gentle fist nearly connected with Neji's chest before he barely deflected it. Neji was more proud of her than any one else. She's not like any of the other girls in Konoha. She works twice as hard and yet she doesn't have a bad attitude or a speck of arrogance. She is pure discipline and skill. She'd grown in so many ways. Neji even finds her to be a match for him.

Being Neji, he couldn't tell her that of course. Instead he only smiled and continued to spar with her.

"Hey, Hinata? Who do you train with while I'm gone?" he asked when they had finished their little training session.

"Um...a little with Hanabi and sometimes with Ino or Lee."

"Lee...that explains your increase in speed. Hinata have you thought about – "

Neji stopped speaking when he heard the door slide open. It was his uncle.

"Ah...there you are, Neji. I was looking for you. Training, eh? That's excellent."

Neji's eye twitched in the slightest at his uncle. He was ignoring Hinata again. Even though she worked just as hard as he did, he didn't care to even acknowledge her when he walked into the room. Neji managed a curt bow and Hinata bowed her head slightly and a tad shamefully. She noticed everything Neji did. She only wanted to be as good as him...

"If you're not too tired, Neji, I'd like to train with you a little bit more. It's been a week since we've seen each other. I'm sure being with the Hokage has put you on your toes."

Neji nodded and readied himself in the Hyuuga fighting stance.

Hinata silently went off the sides to watch.

Naruto sighed as he took off his reading glasses. It seemed like the Hokage never got any rest. On the weekends he worked in his home office, where he was now, wishing he could escape. His headache had become no more than a soft throbbing, but it was enough to get on his nerves.

"Hokage-sama, sir, I brought you your coffee," a ragged scruffy-looking man said, bowing a bit excessively.

"Thank you, Bob!" Naruto smiled. As compensation for not meeting with him earlier, Naruto decided he would allow the poor man to spend the day with him and maybe take him out to have some ramen later on. He took a sip of the black substance as Bob watched him with big gray eyes.

"Do ya like it, your Majesty?"

"Er...yeah!"

Near the door to Naruto's office, Kiba laughed. He was sitting in a chair casually reading a magazine. Bob sat down on the floor next to Kiba after bowing to Naruto again repeatedly. Naruto smiled at the two guys and coughed softly.

"Um...You can use the chair, Bob...if you want."

Bob quickly scampered over and pulled the chair closer to Kiba's so he could read along with him. Naruto was too bored to continue his work so he just observed the two men in front of him enjoying their piece of literature. Judging by the naked woman on the cover of said "piece of literature", Naruto could guess they would be enjoying it very much.

"What cha readin' Kiba?" Naruto grinned. Kiba merely lifted the magazine up up, not removing his eyes from it. "Hmmm...You can never read anything that doesn't have pictures in it, huh, Kiba?"

"Shut up, Naru...This article's funny," Kiba grumbled.

"Hey...she's a looker," Konoha's Hobo pointed to the corner of the magazine. The half-masked dog-boy moved his gaze to take a look. He froze completely.

"Eh? Lemme see!" Naruto leaned forward on his desk. "Come on, Kiba! Share! Share! Eh...Kiba...?"

His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He blinked furiously, and then rubbed his eyes. By the time he had held the magazine arm's length away, Naruto was too curious. He jumped over next to the other two guys.

"N-Na-Naruto...Is that who I think it is?"

Naruto bent over his shoulder intently, with a cheerful smile on his face, humming a tune.

"Definitely a looker...HEY, WHAT?" Naruto passed out shortly after from blood loss.

Neji was pretty exhausted when he reached his room again. It seemed like his uncle wanted to spend the whole day training with him. It was early evening before he could even think about taking that long awaited shower. First he tossed himself down on his bed. His bed...he missed Naruto's bed...

'I wonder what he's doing right now?' Neji wrapped his arms around the big fluffy comforter and sighed deeply. He already wanted to go back. There was a shy knock at his door.

"Come in," he sat up from his bed as Hinata slid the door open.

"Hi, N-Nii-san..." she smiled and sat next to him on his bed. She turned her white eyes towards him expectantly.

"Yes, Hinata?"

"A-Are...you going to tell me about w-working with...him," she blushed nearly a thousand shades red. She was dying to hear all about her one true love and Neji was boiling to tell her. He was like a tea kettle waiting go burst. Now that had had the go-ahead, he couldn't stand to keep quiet anymore. He sprung off his bed with amazing energy.

"OH. MY. GOD! HINATA! HE'S SO AMAZING! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I COULD DIE! WORKING FOR HIM IS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE!" Neji rambled on loudly, waving his arms energetically like a kid.

Hinata laughed with her small white hand up to her mouth.

"He's kind of troublesome and lazy because he doesn't work all the time and sometimes I have to push him, but you know he's like that!" he gasped as he continued, "But I get to see him everyday and it's the best thing ever! Hinata! No no no! That's not it! I get to SLEEP with him, IN HIS ROOM!"

His eyes glowed with fire as he smiled a wide ecstatic smile. Hinata laughed even more as she blushed just thinking about sleeping in the same room as Naruto.

"I knew you were hiding something from me!" she giggled, "I'm so jealous, Neji!"

Although it is a well-known fact all around town that Hinata is head over heels in love with Naruto, it is less-widely known that Neji is also just as deeply taken with him. Hinata had had her suspicions, but now she was positive that they loved the same man. She laughed and was really happy to have something in common with Neji even if it was something like this.

"I know something else that will make you even MORE jealous!" He beamed.

"Heehee! Then don't tell me!" she joked. Neji covered his mouth with his hands as he snickered deviously, his eyes expressing pure amusement. "Neji! I've never seen you like this! It must have been something special. Tell me! Tell me!"

"Okay!" he stood up and put his hands on his hips triumphantly, "WE MADE OUT FOR HOURS!"

Hinata stared with her mouth open in a giant smile. Then her eyes slowly roamed to the corner of the room, at that moment her smile faded and an enormous blush settled across her face.

"Dinner is served," Hiashi muttered in a deep serious voice.

"..."

Neji felt like stabbing himself repeatedly. He didn't bother to turn his head, and was still striking a pose until he heard the door close again. He collapsed on the bed sobbing like a girl.

"Shh...Neji. Maybe he didn't hear?" she tried to soothe him, but it they both knew that unless Hiashi was extremely hard of hearing or he just teleported there magically on the spot, that that was impossible. Who knew what his uncle had in store for him.

Somewhere down the street three men walked laughing their heads off. They strolled down the street with their arms over each other's shoulders like they were the best of friends. They were headed off to the Ichiraku.

"Hahaha! Hokage! Do you really think it was him?" Kiba roared with laughter.

"I dunno!" Naruto laughed in response, "But that has got to be the best thing I've ever seen! ...You hungry, Bob?"

The three of them continued happily to the ramen stand. Naruto grinned wildly – wilder than the other two men – at remembering the picture. There was no mistake that this one was a "Looker", but who exactly had long dark hair, dark long lashes framing perfectly clear eyes, and that absolutely pale perfect skin? It was a mystery. Perhaps the editor forgot to add a picture and at the last minute stuck this one in. It was masterfully done. From the position, the reader couldn't really tell if the model was a male or female. If it was who Kiba and Naruto suspected it to be, then there was even more to laugh about.

The picture itself was completely drool-worthy. A stark naked feminine creature was sprawled out on a bed of white, clutching a pillow to it's chest (effectively covering where there would have been breasts, or lack thereof). Chocolatey dark brown hair as soft and touchable as silk, framed the lovely face and spread across the ivory linen. The lips were glazed an icy pink, tantalizing and yet still retaining a sense of purity. The creamy skin was begging to be marked and touched. Worst of all was the expression of the face. Eyes stared forward, smoky and seductive. The beautiful long lashes framed pure white eyes, that could be no other than a Hyuuga's. The glossy pink lips were curved in a cruelly beckoning smile.

Naruto blushed.

"M-Mabye it was his twin sister?" he rubbed the back of his head and sat down in his special Hokage chair.

"Yeah, right. Face it, Uzumaki. Neji's a porn star," Kiba smirked, "A pretty fine one too."

Naruto's mouth hung open. Even Kiba thinks he's attractive! Naruto turned a few shades darker. He could tell this was going to be bad whenever he saw him again.

"Who's Neji?" Bob finally spoke, looking like a curious dog, his head tilted to the side slightly.

"The Hokage's lover!"

"KIBA!"

At all the commotion, the owner walked out from the back of the store. He smiled generously at every one.

"What'll you have boys?"

The Hyuuga estate was having the most awkward supper in a long time. Hanabi stared at everyone else curiously with her small calculating eyes. She ate quickly and gave an excuse to leave.

The table was entirely silent.

The Hyuuga family tried to not even make a sound when they were eating. Hinata picked at her food curiously, and expected a fight to break out between the two other men at any moment. Neji was wound up so tight he could barely open and close his mouth to eat.

'Any minute now...' he tried not to look nervous, 'Uncle can't possibly approve. He'll say something that will be sure to ruin my life.'

Hiashi was the most relaxed member of the family at the table, which only made everyone else more tense. He ate politely without a word. He did nothing to relieve the uneasiness surrounding them. It was getting to the point where even the air in the room seemed to be weighing down on everyone. Finally, he set down his tea cup and sighed. Hinata and Neji looked up like frightened children.

"I've been wanting to say this for a long time..." he began.

Neji's bows creased together as he tried to anticipate the worst. Hinata cringed.

"I think it's about time we get you married," he turned from looking straight ahead, to looking directly at Neji, "I'm talking about you, son."

He felt like collapsing to the floor and beating himself silly. He also had an urge to stand up defiantly and give his uncle a piece of his mind. Why did he have to be so loud in his room? If only he hadn't heard – now it's certain that he had. He wants to marry his shameful nephew out of the family, so he doesn't have to see his face ever again.

"I-I'm an ANBU...I don't have time for marriage," Neji argued, hiding his true feelings.

"Carrying on the Hyuuga name is more important than being an ANBU, Neji!" his uncle cut in sharply.

"Huh?" Neji blinked. He wants to keep Neji in the family even after hearing his outburst. "W-What do you mean, Hiashi-sama?"

"You will marry someone from the Hyuuga family and will follow me as the head of the house. It's not mere coincidence that you have managed to be the most skillful of our clan. Not every Hyuuga can master all that you have. I'm acknowledging your skills."

"But that would make me part of the Main House!" Neji didn't understand where he was going with this at all. It was impossible to switch from being a lowly Branch House member to the head of the house. Why didn't he want Hinata to do all of this? Neji looked to his cousin and saw her shrinking sadly.

"What about Hinata? She's your daughter!" Neji yelled. He didn't care if he was being disrespectful or not. He was tired of this. Why couldn't he just work with her instead?

"Lower your voice, Neji!" his voice was like a blow to his face, "I didn't forget about her. The two of you together will rule as the head of the house. You two will be married."

"WHAT?"

"Eh? Otousan...N-Neji-san and I...can't..." she looked on the verge of tears. Hiashi finally turned his attention to his first born – something he hadn't done in a long time.

"Hinata, we've spoken about this before. It's Hyuuga tradition to marry inside of the family. You knew that someday you would have to marry a Hyuuga. Preferably the strongest and wisest Hyuuga. That just happens to be Neji. You should consider yourself lucky. He's in your age range and is a very – "

"Stop!" Neji slammed his hands on the table and stood up, "I don't want to marry her!"

"Neji!"

"No! I don't care about the Hyuuga tradition!" he was steaming with anger.

"Oh?" Hyuuga Hiashi raised his eyebrow tentatively, "I thought it was your dream to be part of the Main House?"

Neji's anger was barely stifled. His hands were clenched in fists.

'That's true. I don't want to die a slave. I just want to be free from all the rules. Why does he have to pick this way?'

"T-That's not true! I just want to be able to do what I want for once..." Neji looked away, spitefully.

"Neji...I've done my best to take care of you. If you asked, I would do anything for you. I let you become an ANBU. I give you so many freedoms that you probably don't even realize, but there's one thing I can't do for you and that is to destroy the Hyuuga tradition."

That's also true. Hyuuga tradition is as solid as a concrete wall. His uncle has been very kind and understanding to him, even treating him like his own son. Neji's heart was tormented. The only thing he wanted was to be close to the one he loved. He could care less about tradition when he was around Naruto.

"Neji, please don't look at this badly. I only want you to have the best of things. I think it's what your father would have wanted."

He got up and moved over to his nephew.

"Don't forget, your father was my brother and I loved him very much. If you could be the head of the house – along with Hinata – I think he could rest peacefully."

'Dammit! How could he use my father's memory against me?' Neji was full of so many emotions at the moment.

He knew he couldn't yell at his uncle when he was not really being cruel to him. He made it sound like having him marry his own cousin was the best thing that could happen to him.

"Yes, sir." Neji resigned and stormed off to his room, leaving Hinata and his uncle alone.

Neji was completely heart-broken. He sat on the floor next to his bed contemplating all the ways to kill himself.

"Damn this stupid curse!" he yelled as he lifted his bangs away and pressed his palm to the symbol burned on his forehead. He half expected it to glow with his uncle's fury, but it felt the same as always. It was such misery to know that he could be hurt or killed at any moment because of this symbol on his skin. And this was family tradition? It was tradition to torture the members of the family!

Neji was such an emotional wreck that when he looked to the bags he had put neatly to the side, his heart nearly leaped into his throat.

'I forgot to shower! I can't believe I forgot to shower!'

Neji rushed to the bathroom and locked himself in there, lathering, rinsing and repeating several times. Washing himself and caring for his hair was one of the few things that brought him comfort. He was in there easily for 2 hours, water running over his body.

"You're the man, Bob!" Naruto pointed as Bob showed off his card tricks. The old man and Kiba laughed and cheered along as well.

They had been in the stand for quite a while laughing, joking, and eating entirely too much. Finally they got up and Kiba and Naruto paid the bill. They walked off, prepared to go to their homes, when suddenly Naruto felt it was awkward. Bob didn't have a home.

"Hey...Bob? Do you want a house?" Naruto asked bluntly. To his surprise Bob shook his head. "R-Really? We could build you one pretty easily! All you have to do is ask!"

"That's right, Bob-san! I'd even help the guys build it!" Kiba cheered. Bob looked deeply touched. His crinkled face formed a bright smile.

"Thank you, but I like living like this."

"Really?" Naruto and Kiba stared wide-eyed.

"It's a simple life and I love Konoha. I feel like I can be a part of everyone's lives by always being out here," he spoke and waved as he wandered off into the park.

Naruto sniffled.

"What a wise old man!" he grabbed Kiba and pretended to sob into his shoulder.

"Get off me, baka!"

"But Kiba...!" Naruto whined.

"Save it for Neji!"

"M-Maybe I will!" Naruto looked away and blushed. He couldn't help it. Every time he thought of Neji he thought of that naked picture of Neji – in which his lovely ass was on display – and he couldn't help if that affected him horribly.

"Hahaha! I knew you were a flamin' faggot!" Kiba shouted rudely, and yet he managed to keep a big smile on his face.

"Whaaaaaaaa? Lair! You see me with girls all the time!"

"Yeah, but you've got the hots for Neji. Neji's a GUY!" Kiba bared his fangs as he grinned even wider.

"And so what? That makes you happy?" the blonde looked at him in disgust.

"Hell yeah! I'd love it if you turned out to be the biggest homo in town!"

"WHAT?"

Kiba snickered to himself and refused to answer any more. The truth was that ever since Kiba had realized he liked girls, every girl he had liked had fallen for Naruto. In a sense, the Hokage was the bane to his existence. Even if he got a girl, he'd lose her as soon as she met Naruto, which was very likely to happen since he worked so close to him. He snickered evilly. Every time Naruto would ask he what he was laughing about, Kiba would only yell profanely at him and laugh even harder.

"Waaaaah! Neji would never say those cruel words to me! He's always nice and polite and saying stuff like 'Hokage-sama this, and Hokage-sama that'! I MISS NEJI!" Naruto cried and Kiba continued to verbally abuse him in revenge for all the women he had stolen from him in the past without even knowing it.

"Neji-nii-san! Nii-san! Answer the door! Please!" Hinata pounded on the door and called after Neji repeatedly. She was worried sick after him. He hadn't left his room for two hours. She stopped knocking and left. She came back moments later with the key to his room and fumbled with them before opening his door.

She stormed in like a mighty heroine looking everywhere for her cousin. He was no where in sight and still didn't respond to her calls. Then she heard water running.

The door to the bathroom was slightly ajar. She looked at it nervously before pushing the thing open.

"Neji!"

He was sitting in the shower, completely naked just letting the water run over his body. The water had long ago become cold. She rushed over to him and propped him up a bit. She did blush a bit at seeing him naked, but did everything she could to avoid looking too much. He needed help right now, and in any case she could never look at him in that way.

"Nii-san, please get up. You'll catch a cold," her soft pixie's voice reached his ears, but he refused to respond and only stared forward with the same blank expression on his face.

She had no choice but to lift him up herself. He was much taller than her, so this was a strange and difficult feat to perform. She quickly got him a towel and tried to dry him off. She set him on his bed gently and got another towel to dry his sopping wet hair.

"Oh, Neji...this is awful..." she said sympathetically as she carefully dried his hair. She knew how much he loved to take care of himself.

"Thank you...w-wife..." he croaked out as if his throat was sore from crying.

Hinata continued to dry his hair silently, sadly thinking about how their lives would be if her father's demands became reality.

Naruto and Neji's weekends could not have been more different. Naruto spent most of his weekend hanging out with Kiba. They joked and teased each other the whole time. Both decided that the "woman" in the picture could be no other than Neji. This disturbed Kiba to no end. If one of the models in the magazines he so loved to read was a man who knows how many others where. Thus, forming a reason for Naruto to tease Kiba. Kiba didn't even have to try to tease Naruto. It was so obvious he was having his own fantasies about a naked Neji on his bed.

Meanwhile, Neji suffered intensely with Hinata. He finally had someone he could trust and care about in his family and now that had to be ruined by him becoming engaged to her. His uncle didn't care at all about how they felt and went on like he was doing them a favor. On top of that, Neji did catch a cold from being in the cold shower for so long. He spent most of his Sunday in bed, being taken care of by Hinata, while Hanabi and Hiashi merrily planned their wedding like a pair of conniving devils.

ZOMG! HYUUGACEST! dJASDIUEH! OH NOES!
