Angel Of Darkness
Chapter Five: Search
Sasuke's eyes narrowed, his left hand weighing the tomato he held and his right flipped the map of the whole school that he was currently trying to figure out.
He had not realized that for such a compacted school, Akatsuki high was actually huge and very confusing. The place rivaled even the biggest amusement part in the world! Then again, Sasuke was the kind of person that could get lost even if he was walking in a straight line. Not because he was in particular bad with directions, but because he got easily sidetracked with other things.
Finding that mysterious longhaired raven was going to be more difficult than he first had anticipated.
After all, it was Friday and he had been searching the whole week.
He kept thinking of the day that he met him and how he so bravely stepped in to help him out. That day was almost like fate, for him to run into that mystery guy.
Biting his teeth into his tomato, he listed off what he already knew.
One, Obito had not stumbled upon anyone with the last name Uchiha and thus had tagged no one. That meant that it would only leave Izuna in more suspense to know whom he had tagged. Not that Izuna wasn't being paranoid and even foiling his plans by trying to drag him everywhere with him. He was just lucky that today Izuna had decided to go on and do something by himself.
Two, the mystery raven had vanished and seemed impossible to find. No matter where he went or looked, he just couldn't find him!
Did he even go to this school?
Third, Izuna was becoming even more annoying than ever before, but that was a given. After all, he was probably the reason he couldn't find the mystery guy.
Lastly, he was finding himself strangely uncomfortable and having dreams that he wouldn't remember in the morning. All they really accomplish was to make his chest feel like it was burning…
It was an odd feeling, one that Sasuke would even call nasty, but unfortunately, it was one he kept feeling.
His skin sometimes felt hot, and he would become easily frustrated and irritated with the people around him. He wasn't sure what it meant or why he was feeling so bothered, but he was starting to become annoyed with himself. Constantly thinking about it was really starting to make him feel brain dead, and exhausted just because he couldn't understand it.
Was he sick?
He feared that his own skin was going to suffocate him alive if his body continued to act up this way.
What could he do to make this sudden change go away?
Damn it, he really hoped he wasn't sick.
Crumbling the map of the school, he threw it over his shoulder. He finished eating his tomato and wished he had another.
Just as the thought entered his mind, the front door opened and allowed his blond roommate to enter. That door really needed a lock. He had just been spending a peaceful time in the couch and now the dobe was here to disturb him and it was all because that stupid door couldn't keep itself closed.
Such a slutty door, Sasuke thought bemusedly to himself. Can't help but crave someone to enter it.
The blond didn't know how to stop himself in his rushing that he ended up tripping and falling on his face. A grinning face and shinning blue eyes turned towards Sasuke a second later, greeting him.
"Sasuke," Naruto cheered as he suddenly stood up again as if he had not fallen, causing Sasuke to grit his teeth to keep himself from snapping at the blond boy. "Yo Sasuke, guess what"
Sasuke hummed and quirked an eyebrow at him.
"Really, come on guess!"
"I don't want to play that game," Sasuke deadpanned, and stood up to go to the kitchen so he could get himself a drink of water. Naruto huffed, upset as he followed.
"You're no fun" he grumbled as he took a seat at the table. "Well, you'll want to play it when I say that I saw them," Naruto smirked when he saw Sasuke stiffen and turn to look at him. "I saw them walking down the hall," Naruto got a thoughtful expression, "Not like it was hard to miss them when they were hanging out with this really tall boy, he reminded me of a shark."
"You're lying," Sasuke said apprehensively. The blond had to be making it up. "I've been searching the whole bloody school, how could you have seen them?"
Sheepishly, Naruto rubbed the back of his head and neck. "I kind of stumbled on them just now as I was coming into the dorms. It looked like they were going out, Um" Naruto got a thoughtful look on his face. "The long haired boy as you call him, was with the red head, another male with raven hair but his was all wild and cool looking, oh, and a boy that reminded me so much of a shark"
"And, so…" Sasuke uncapped his water and took a drink.
Naruto gave Sasuke a confused look, "And so what?"
Sasuke's eye twitched in annoyance, "Why the hell didn't you follow them!"
Naruto puffed out his cheeks in a very dignified way. "No way, why would I follow them! That would make me a stalker!"
Sasuke scoffed, "Then you should have sent that pink haired girl of yours. She seems to love stalking." Sasuke only said it because he had noted the way that she would sometimes randomly appear when he least expected it. She was kind of freaking him out.
"Who? You mean Sakura?" Naruto shrugged, "She says she's a dreamer, and that the only way she will ever see what she wants its by following it." Naruto lowered his head, a blush on his cheeks. Sasuke looked at him oddly. "Besides, they are all so handsome. I could never bring myself to talk to them, it'll be too hard. Just thinking about following them makes me blush!" the blond patted his redden cheeks softly.
"You're worthless," Sasuke grumbled, and ran a hand through the soft spikes of his hair. The dobe did say he just had run into them, which meant that they could still be close. Maybe he could still catch a glimpse of the raven haired male. "Guess I'll have to go do it myself. That's how it always is when you want something done right. Never send a dobe to do a proper job." Sasuke kept muttering as he made his way towards the door.
Just as he was exiting, Naruto rushed towards him, making him halt.
"Where are you going?"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, "Stalking," he muttered, "Don't come, you don't know anything about stalking" It was so annoying how Naruto always wanted to know where he was going, as well as how he always wanted to be around him.
The dobe was an even bigger pest than Izuna.
Naruto glared at Sasuke, "I never said I didn't know anything about stalking" Rushing forward, he grasped Sasuke's upper arm and made the raven halt and turn to look at him over his shoulder.
"Let go."
"No, let me go with you!" Naruto gave his best pleading look. Sasuke threw him a glare.
"You're wasting my time."
"Let me go with you,"
"No, stay here, you've done enough. I don't need you," Sasuke pushed Naruto, so the blond would stumble back and started to walk away again. One step outside though, and the next moment Naruto was latched around him, arms tightly holding his thin waist, and Naruto's face buried just on the side of his neck. "What the fuck." He hissed, trying to shake him off.
The sudden touch made his skin crawl in a way he had never expected. It felt disgusting.
"Don't be like that please Sasuke, I…I want to be forever by your side!" Naruto screamed, directly into Sasuke's ear making the raven feel startled at the loud volume of the blonde's voice. The fact that he was a vampire only heightened every word, and it grinded on his already irritated nerves. "I can't fly if you are not by my side, ever since I met you, I knew I wanted to be beside you…you are my angel of peace, you have no idea how much I'm scared to lose you! Let's be best friends forever!"
Sasuke finally pushed him off.
Naruto stumbled back, and then fell on his ass.
Sasuke turned to look over to Naruto, with wide eyes. The crawling uncomfortable feeling still lingering as he tried to shake it off.
"That's…that's…what you said." The words Naruto had just spoken reminded him of the past. The first time he had met Naruto, was when they were eight years old. Naruto had stared at him the whole day of class, and continued to do so. When Sasuke confronted him about it, he had said it at that time. That he wanted to spend his time with him, as well as to be his best friend was incredibly bold of the blond.
And now, Angel of Peace, Sasuke somehow found it funny.
He had always thought he was more of a chaotic little demon, bad behaved child, with no real purpose in life but too destroy.
Even if in the past Naruto had been his best friend, in this life there was a difference. In this lifetime, things would be easier if they didn't become friends. Although a part of Sasuke wanted to entertain it, he couldn't escape what he was.
There was no doubt that he was going to outlive Naruto again, maybe even have to disappear, being friends just seemed like a heartache.
Maybe it didn't have to be all that complicated. They could be friends once more. There was nothing that ever impeded that.
Naruto twitched, wishing the moment was not so awkward and he managed a small laugh.
"I'm sorry, that was probably weird of me. But, then again I keep dreaming and hearing this voice that I remember from a long time ago asking for another chance." Naruto lowered his head, his eyes looking far away as he seemed to recall something only he had seen. The past, Sasuke wondered. "I remember the air, and the smell of dirt, and I just wanted my own soul to soar. I wanted to float free from something I felt so…so…. guilty about that was weighing me down." The blond pressed a hand to his chest. "And I keep hearing myself saying, and praying every night before bed time to the Angel of Darkness." Naruto closed his eyes, a small smile on his face. "And then I see you, and I feel so light, like the weigh in my chest is gone, and I feel so at peace, and you look so cool. You probably have always heard how awesome you seem." Naruto gulped, "Sorry,"
"Heh," Sasuke uttered, even though his mind went back to the day that had ended his life.
If he really knew Naruto in the past, he would say that the boy always had a huge golden heart and never hated. He always seemed to want to believe that there was good in everyone. Sasuke had always thought that it was foolish of Naruto to be that way because it left him vulnerable to hurt, but the blond always succeeded with his own beliefs and always ended up strong. Even though, everything he was telling him sounded weird.
"An Angel that is the last thing I would expect anyone to think of me as." Sasuke muttered.
Naruto stood up, and looked at Sasuke curiously, "Why is that?"
"I'm more of a demon, now that sounds cooler." Sasuke turned away from Naruto, and started to walk away as fast as he could.
"Hey," Naruto called, unsure if to follow Sasuke or not.
"Come on idiot, let's go search for those 'knights in shining armor' as you call them. We've wasted enough time." Sasuke made air quotes.
Naruto was shocked for a second before he allowed a wide grin to take over his face and chased after Sasuke.
Talking with Sasuke was always so easy and Naruto was feeling lighter every day.
Sasuke was fast, and Naruto found himself out of breath by the time he reached him around B-hall. Sasuke paused to hide, the pupil of his eyes discreetly shifting in shape as he tried to get a closer look of the mysterious longhaired raven before he was out of sight.
He was glad that even having to hear Naruto's little heartfelt rant, they had managed to find them in their walk. It almost seemed to be because all of them were walking kind of slow and arguing amongst each other.
'The library,' he thought to himself, and soon Naruto was beside him, panting hard.
"Can you slow down a bit," the blond complained.
"No, keep up. You're the one whom wanted to follow me after all." Sasuke turned to Naruto with a slightly pouty look before he continued to walk, at a brisk pace. Naruto groaned, and tried to keep up with the fast-paced raven.
"Ugh, okay!" he bounced after Sasuke. Sasuke rolled his eyes and just looked ahead.
Angel, Sasuke shook his head, now that was a really foolish thought.
Itachi flipped a page of his text book and Kisame pocked him hard on the ribs for what seemed like the twentieth time.
Itachi had not looked at him or even minded the fact that the pokes were starting to hurt. He kept on ignoring without the slightest of flinch. All he wanted to do was concentrate on his book. That is why he had chosen to come to the library, but unfortunately both his roommates and his father had followed him here.
The arguing between Kyuubi and Kisame had already gotten on his nerves. On top of that Madara had said he was going to go search for a book leaving him alone with the two idiots. Madara had yet to return and already he wanted to kill his two roommates.
A particular harsh jab to his ribs finally made Itachi put his book down and look over to Kisame with a glare, "what do you want?"
Kisame grinned, and leaned toward Itachi. "You're being watched." Itachi's eye twitched for a bit, wondering what the shark like boy could mean.
"Watched?" Kyuubi asked, looking curious, "By whom?"
Kisame looked at Kyuubi with a look as he said, "It'd be rude to point at them."
Kyuubi returned the look. "It's kind of rude that they are watching us in the first place. It would only be fair to point at them!"
"I said they are watching this guy here, not either one of us."
"Whatever just point them out. I want to see who it is!"
"Well, aren't you rude," Kisame crossed his arms and glared. He refused to comply with Kyuubi. The red head was frustrated by this.
"Who's watching me?" Itachi asked in hopes to end their argument.
Kisame looked over to him with a slightly surprised look before grinning.
Kisame leaned in close again, and then said in a low voice, "You are being watched, by a small little spiky haired raven and a blond boy." Itachi was a little surprised by what Kisame had said and then moved to look over his shoulder to see if it was true.
Of course, before he could actually turn around, both Kyuubi and Kisame held him in place and screeched simultaneously, "Don't be so obvious!"
"Damn dude, you will scare them away if you just turn around," Kyuubi smirked and placed his head to rest on the palm of his hand as he looked to the side, discreetly trying to spot the two little stalkers.
"You have to be crafty about it!" Kisame continued, "Why don't you go walk around towards the back shelves and then you will get to see them." This was ridiculous. Itachi glared at them, grabbed his text book and went back to trying to concentrate on it. Kisame and Kyuubi both sweat dropped as they watched Itachi go back to ignoring them. "What, you are not curious to see who is stalking you?"
"No." was the short reply.
"Come on you can't say you're not curious enough to want to see if you can catch them in the act of spying on you," Kisame tilted his head, and gave Itachi a sly smile, "Both of them seem really interested in you,"
"I'm sure," Itachi sarcastically said.
"Come on, don't be so stubborn. I bet you are curious!" Kyuubi coaxed, and he turned sideways in his seat. He wanted to be a little subtle about looking to see who was stalking Itachi. Looking out from the corner of his eye he saw the familiar blond and raven-haired boy he and Itachi had saved in A-hall just a few days ago. "Hey, it's them. The guys you stood up for when they were getting picked on." He said, and turned towards Itachi "That blond one is kind of cute, don't you think?" Noticing that Itachi was still ignoring him, he moved closer, "Maybe I should go over there and talk to them, maybe even bring them over here." Kyuubi suggested, and Itachi shifted away from him when the red head was to close for comfort.
He then slammed his book close over Kyuubi's face, making him snap back and glare at him as he rubbed his sore nose. Kisame ended up laughing.
"I don't think he likes you very much" Kisame jabbed his elbow into Kyuubi's ribs, making the red head gasp and hold his side. Kyuubi turned his amber eyes to Kisame, and glared at him with distaste.
"The one he shouldn't like is you, always jabbing people with your pointy fingers and elbows, what did I do? I never did anything to him, and he hates me. At least all of you say, he hasn't said it himself," Kyuubi crossed his arms, and huffed.
"I don't like you," Itachi said making Kisame point a mocking finger to Kyuubi. Kyuubi flinched, and looked shocked between Kisame and Itachi.
"What…why!" he demanded. Itachi refused to answer him.
"Because you have an ugly face," Kisame taunted and Kyuubi glared at him. Getting back on topic, Kisame got a thoughtful look on his face. "So Itachi helped them…well no wonder they are stalking him, they must be too scared to come over here and talk to you. You can be scary." Kisame grinned.
"I'm sure," Itachi agreed, but he refused to give in on turning around. No matter how tempting it was to do so. His ears had become attentive though, and were trying to concentrate on catching the conversation between the raven and blond, but Kisame's and Kyuubi's constant babbling was making it hard to catch their voices.
"Damn, they know we are spying on them," Sasuke mumbled and Naruto turned to look at him oddly.
"How would they know?" Naruto almost loudly said.
"Just trust that they know." Sasuke glared at Naruto, and then placed his book down. "Come on, let's try to get closer," Sasuke stood up, and slowly made his way behind one of the book cases. The shelves were filled with books on poetry and locations.
It was practically an artist paradise of knowledge.
"Don't you think getting closer will make it more suspicious?"
Sasuke shrugged. "Why should we hide anyways?" Sasuke paused behind a shelve filled with art history, and then pushed the books aside, to a more empty section and did so for the other books on the other side of the, shelve.
Naruto's eyes widened when he noticed that they were practically on the other side of the mystery guys, with just the shelve to actually separate them.
Sasuke had been smart to move the books in a lower shelve that way they would not be noticed so easily. The short raven-haired boy was immediately enthralled into watching the boys on the other side. Naruto blinked his large blue eyes and looked from Sasuke's curious look to the other side, wondering whom it was that Sasuke was staring at so assiduously.
It soon became clear who Sasuke was captivated by.
It was the hot longhaired raven, whom looked like he was reading a large textbook.
He was the one that had first stepped up to help them, and Naruto had to admit that he was incredibly handsome. This boy made him swoon. Shifting a little Naruto turned his eyes to the other boy that had stepped in to help them and had to admit that the red head was also handsome.
That one made his heart do something funny.
Weird.
A small mewl and unintelligible mumbling from beside him made him turn back to Sasuke, only to find the boy slightly drooling and looking at the long haired raven with what seemed to be a love sick look.
"Cute," Naruto commented, smiling when Sasuke seemed to ignore him to continue with his spying.
Thinking about it, he wondered if he and Sasuke could just walk up to them and see if they can hang out. It would be better than all this weird stalking.
"Ah, they are gone." Kisame said when he looked over to the table where the two boys had been spying on Itachi, only to find it empty.
"Yeah, you two scared them."
Itachi sighed, and got up from his chair. He'll go look for Madara and then leave this place! He couldn't concentrate anyway.
"Where are you going?" Kyuubi called. Itachi shrugged.
"Going to get another book." With that, he went over to the back where he had seen Madara go. Once he got there, he saw that Madara was talking with the librarian whom had a faraway look in his eyes. Madara also looked shocked, gapping.
Itachi walked closer to him and raised an eyebrow. "Something wrong?" he asked. His voice was low enough to not be easily heard.
Madara nodded his head. "I've just been tagged."
"What?"
"I'm the goose." Madara said, and then shook his head to get out of his own stupor. He looked at the librarian again. "He asked my name and as soon as I told him, he got all weird and then pressed his hand to my chest, and told me, you're now the goose."
"Uh" Itachi shrugged, taking a step back from Madara.
The librarian in front of them smiled, and suddenly started talking to them in a deep trance, "Back in the early nineteen hundreds I was born an Uchiha, a female, and later married a man by the name of Hatake Kakashi. He helped me cover the fact that I was an Uchiha by having my last name changed with a false mark, as well as my son. We thought that we had escaped from being marked but around 1952 my son died right after he received the soul binding mark on the base of his neck. It was a sad day for me, and Kakashi never seemed to let go of the anger on losing his only son."
The man sighed, and then fainted. Madara barely had time to catch him and set him down against the bookcase before looking up at Itachi with a serious look on his face.
"An Uchiha? This little wimp was an Uchiha in the past?" Madara looked down at the passed out man and then narrowed his eyes. "This must be a part of the puzzle that Izuna mentioned. The 1900's, Izuna left me around that time as we started our game again. I know for a fact that even around that time he was being evasive for some reason, it almost seemed like he was angry at me, but for what I don't know. I don't know what this could mean either. With Izuna it could mean just about anything, in his anger he could have done anything!"
"Well then, to find out you're going to have to choose a new target." Itachi said.
Madara nodded. "Yeah, and I guess I can't tell you whom I will chose. Although, with only the two of us playing it almost seems like it will be a really hard and tedious game."
Itachi shrugged. "I blame Izuna, it was his mind that cooked this game up. Now can we leave, I'm hungry." Madara looked at the librarians face one more time before nodding and lead Itachi out of the library.
As they were walking out, Itachi passed by where the boy with the spiky raven hair was with the blond boy, and smirked at him when he caught his eye.
The boy softly blushed and lowered his head in what seemed to be embarrassment for getting caught spying on him, but had enough nerve to act like he was just there trying to get a book.
The blond on the other hand wasn't as graceful as he got a full blown red face and started to panic around, trying to cover his face.
It seemed as though the little raven was actually curious about him as well. Itachi decided that he was going to have to lure the boy out to him. It seemed like the best thing to do than actually stalk him the way the boy was doing with his blond friend.
He would enjoy this little game.
Sasuke had cursed when the long haired raven had stood up and left.
He would have followed him if Naruto would have not suddenly tugged on his arm and started to ask him stupid things, like what he thought about that red head that had also helped them. Sasuke had glared at him, and hissed at him that he was just an average male.
"What do you mean by average?" Naruto asked, looking at him confused.
"I mean he's worthless, there's nothing about him that interests me." Sasuke stood straight and stuffed his hands into his pockets.
"And the long haired raven?" Naruto asked, shyly this time.
Sasuke frowned at Naruto and narrowed his eyes at him.
"He's mine!" he hissed with no hesitation in his claim.
Naruto flinched and then puffed out his cheeks in frustration. If there was one thing that Naruto hated was when someone laid claim on someone that wasn't even theirs. He was interested in that person as well!
"You don't even know him. How can he be yours? I can have a chance to get him as my boyfriend as well." Naruto pointed to himself, and stomped his foot.
Sasuke seemed to growl deep in his chest, much like a pissed off kitten as he gave him a subtle glare. "I saw him first."
"We saw him at the same time!"
"Not true!" Sasuke hissed, "He came to help me get that other guy away from me!"
"Well, aren't you selfish? He helped both of us!"
Sasuke pouted, and scoffed at Naruto. "That's already a given, of course I'm selfish. You should have already known that."
Naruto rolled his eyes at Sasuke who had started to fix the books that he had moved in the first place. Naruto helped him and then let out a frustrated sigh, as he crossed his arms and turned to look at Sasuke again.
"Obviously he's still not yours, and you haven't even talked to him! So, I'm also going to try and talk to him and see if I can get him to be my boyfriend."
Sasuke's eyes widened as he turned to Naruto, feeling a pull in his chest that Naruto had just challenged him for something that obviously meant a lot more to him than he was truly consciously aware.
"You're wasting your time dobe, he's going to be mine," Sasuke looked away from Naruto when he heard approaching footsteps, "Mine" he said one final time, this time his eyes were on the long haired raven that seemed to be walking just a little behind someone else, a tall raven haired male with wild hair and a very serious look on his face.
Not that he mattered.
The boy looked his way and smirked, making his heart skip a beat and his cheeks heat up before he shyly looked down. It felt as if he was telling him that he knew what he had been doing.
Naruto on the other hand started to move a lot and started to sputter. Sasuke had to frown at him when the long haired raven was gone.
"You'll never get a boyfriend acting like that," he said and begun to walk away, following just a little behind to see if he could see where the long haired raven was going.
But when he made it outside, both boys were gone.
Sasuke sighed when he heard Naruto approach him. "Ah, he's gone."
"That doesn't mean you can have him." Sasuke indignantly said as he started to walk back to the dorms. Naruto rolled his eyes again and followed after Sasuke. He wasn't going to give up! No matter what Sasuke said.
"I still have a chance."
Sasuke frowned at him, "Why do you have to like the same guy I do?"
"Because he's hot," Naruto stuck out his tongue.
"You're so cheap!"
"It's not like we know anything about him so far, other than he is good looking."
Sasuke huffed, "And I'm going to change that!" Deep inside his chest though, Sasuke really detested Naruto for what he was saying. Sasuke had never had anyone challenge him in his decisions before. Usually when he decided to do anything Izuna would back him up or he'd just find his own way without troubles.
Although Naruto claimed that he wanted to be at his side it seemed that the blond had no qualms in trying to steal what was already claimed by him.
With his body going off on him in a really annoying way, and his sudden stalker tendencies when it came to the mysterious long haired raven, Sasuke was really frustrated. There was no way he was going to let Naruto get in his way.
Once they were back in their room, Sasuke headed straight for the small bedroom that he shared with Izuna, and locked the door.
Naruto huffed as he sat down in the couch and crossed his arms angrily.
"Man, such a selfish brat. So much for thinking of him as an angel…" Naruto chuckled, 'Guess it's true, he is a demon. But I won't let him win just because he's selfish.' As he thought this he turned on the television. As soon as he found a good show, Gaara entered the dorm and looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"What are you up to?" Gaara asked as he sat beside him.
Naruto shrugged, "Bored, just decided to watch some television." Gaara nodded and sighed.
"Mind if I join you?"
"Not at all."
Gaara nodded, keeping a solemn look on his face. Naruto glanced at him, wondering if something was wrong, but did not ask. Gaara usually had problems of his own that he did not like to talk about and most of them revolved around the fact that he did not date. Naruto also would never press his brother for answers over anything.
Gaara was incredible, as a brother and all. He would always do anything to make sure he was comfortable. Turning his attention back to the television he failed to notice the way Gaara closed his eyes. Nor the way his brow creased with worry.
The red heads own turmoil was eating up at him. After all, he had just found something disturbing. 'What am I going to do…I can't let Naruto know. Not like this.' Gaara sighed as he recalled what had happened earlier that afternoon. He just wished it wasn't true.
Earlier that afternoon, at the admissions office, a boy with chocolate long hair, and white eyes entered. He knew he had missed the first week of school. Looking around himself, he tapped his fingers on top of the table and impatiently waited for the secretary to notice him. The fact that the secretary was looking at her papers and seemed more interested in them than who had just come in only served to annoy him.
Five minutes seemed to go by without her looking at him, and he was about to clear his throat to try and gain her attention when the door opened and in came another chocolate haired boy, one with short hair. His eyes looked angry as they glared at him, "You know, you are so fucked up, you suck for a brother!" The brunet barked.
"Brother," The long haired male said, "I see you more like a pet, since you are like a dog Kiba. Always chasing your own tail and then getting lost! Why blame me?"
"Shut up Neji, you think you are SO smart!"
"Ahem" Both brothers snapped to attention as they turned towards the secretary, she then quirked an annoyed brow at them, "How may I help you gentlemen?"
Neji gave her a polite bow, as he apologetically spoke, "I'm sorry for the disruption. We are students here, and we were hoping to get our schedules."
"I'm on break," the lady angrily said and jabbed her thumb towards another door that was beside them, "Go in there and the student aid will get you what you need." With that she went back to reading her much more interesting papers.
"Well, isn't she a grouchy old woman," Kiba mumbled to his side, a small white puppy head appearing beside him and licking his cheek. Neji's eye twitched as he turned to look at his brother.
"What the hell is that mutt doing here?"
Kiba ignored his brother, and turned towards the door that the woman had pointed. Neji was angry that his brother had ignored him. As soon as they entered, Kiba spotted the student aid. A familiar red haired male with greenish eyes, and couldn't help but resemble a dog wagging its tail happily. "Yo, Gaara-Gaara, I didn't expect you to be assisting here!"
Gaara looked up from the computer screen where he had diligently been typing the information that had been given to him; His stoic face betrayed no emotion as he turned towards them. "Inuzuka twins," Gaara greeted.
It was a well-known fact that Kiba and Neji were fraternal twins, something not many believed, but not all twins look alike. "I would have thought you'd be going to a more prestigious school"
"Me go to a smart ass school? Never, but wanna be genius over there could have if he wanted to so badly."
"Shut up dog boy, you continue to ramble on nonsense that hurts my brain" Neji hissed, and turned sharp eyes towards Gaara. "Can you please give us our schedule, before this fool starts rambling even more?"
Gaara nodded, "Just tell me your school code number," he said, his fingers ready to move for when he was told. Neji was fast at giving his six digit number to Gaara, and his information was easily pulled. With Kiba was a little more difficult, seeing as he had a hard time remembering his proper code. When he finally did, his schedule was also printed and handed over.
"That's Gaara-Gaara" Kiba said, and then a puppy head snapped up from the hood behind him, and yipped. Gaara looked at him with a look that said he would get in trouble for the pup, but Kiba just shrugged it off.
"So, how's Naruto," Neji finally moved to the topic that had been itching at him.
"None of your business," Gaara said and turned back to his work, "Now if you two could leave, I'd much appreciate it."
"You can't pretend to keep Naruto away from me, Gaara," Neji hissed, "I will see him around school, and I will talk to him, so stop getting in the way." With that the long haired brunet turned and left. Gaara gritted his teeth.
"Don't worry about him, as long as Naruto tells him no to being his boyfriend it's all good." Kiba said, trying to lighten the mood. He then waved at Gaara, "I'll see you around Gaara," and chased after his brother.
Gaara wasn't happy, and he was worried. Naruto wasn't going to be happy once he found out about Neji.
