A/N: And now the package is opened, bwahahahaha! Anyways guys the reviews have been so nice and I hope you like this next chapter! I know Sasuke been a bit of a you-know-what, but I've always felt there has to be someone like that to have a good conflict. Well, we'll see if it works won't we? Please R&R!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I walked over to the table, and picked up the package. It was really light, and I figured whatever was in it wouldn't be very important. Ripping open the paper carelessly, when the box opened dozens of pieces of paper flew out.

"Crap…" I bent over and began to tidy the mess. It was looking like someone was playing a prank on me. That was, until I picked up one of the pieces of paper. They were all coupons for the Ichiraku, good for one free bowl of ramen per person per visit. I couldn't believe my eyes, I immediately stopped cleaning up and began dancing around the apartment.

There are tons of these things, think of all the ramen! I was thinking, I could take Neji on dates for weeks! As I danced, one of the papers flew off of the table and hit me in the nose gently. I pulled it off and noticed it was a different color. On the other side, it read "Meet me in the park on the south side at midnight on Saturday." My happiness faded as I felt an ominous chill. Who had sent all these anyways? There was no name.

I looked up at the calendar, and today was definitely Saturday. Well, it was worth a shot wasn't it? I didn't pay it any mind for the rest of the day, I had more important things to think about. Like when I could take Neji to the Ichiraku.

By the time I got the park, it was dark out. Obviously, since it was midnight. I had never spent much time at the park, it was usually where couples went to be…well, alone. And I'd never once considered bringing Neji here. It just wasn't our kind of place. But now I found myself here, and I was alone. Whoever wanted to see me here was sure taking their time.

"I knew you'd come," A voice came from the trees. A chill ran down my spine, I immediately knew who it was. There was a dull thud as he dropped down to the ground behind me, and he started walking closer.

Neji's words ran in my head, bouncing back and forth in warning: "Promise me something, Naruto? Don't go anywhere alone with him." My stomach felt sick, if I was here alone with Sasuke then I was breaking my promise to Neji. My word is my honor, and at the moment it looked like I didn't have much honor.

"What do you want Sasuke?" I whirled on him. He'd come right up behind me, in the moonlight his dark eyes gleamed with glee. "Why would you send me those coupons?"

"Isn't it obvious, Naruto?" He just kept coming closer, and I backed into a tree nearby. "I want you."

"I'm taken," I said flatly, and made an attempt to push past and get out of the park but he caught my arm on the way past.

"You think I care about that white-eyed bastard? You're mine," I felt hot with rage as he said that about Neji, but I couldn't do anything about it because Sasuke pinned me against the tree. He pressed his lips to mine deeply but I felt nothing. It was nothing like when Neji kissed me, he was gentle and let me take the lead. Sasuke merely pushed for what he wanted with everything he had.

All I could think about was Neji and what was happening. I should have known better than to meet someone at midnight in the park, where couples go to be alone. As Sasuke got more aggressive I fought back harder, trying to peel him off of me but it didn't work. His hand slid down my chest and dipped down into my pants while he used his other hand to hold me against the tree.

I felt so helpless. Hours upon hours of training and I couldn't defend myself now, mainly because my hands were busy trying to get Sasuke out of my pants. It felt like there was nothing I could do, but then it hit me when Sasuke's hand slid past my stomach again: Kyuubi.

Please, I begged the demon within, Help me now, I need to get away from this.

:.Why should I?.: The demon replied, :.You were enjoying it last time.:

I don't have time for this! I screamed in my head, Help me NOW!

:. Fine, I'll help you, but don't be such an idiot next time.: As Kyuubi spoke I could feel the chakra flow within me rising. Sasuke hardly noticed, until I began to glow orange. By now I could feel the power and released it, sending Sasuke flying away from me. He landed on the ground hard, and leaned up on an elbow to glare at me. Before I knew it, he was charging at me with chidori, obviously scorned somehow.

With the nine-tails chakra it would be easy to do a counter, but I had no time. He was almost on me by the time I felt my hands forming the seals. It was then that he was suddenly shoved to the side, sending his chidori through a nearby tree. Kyuubi's chakra faded as I stood there in awe, Neji had come to my aid.

I had never seen Neji fight anyone as angrily as he fought now. There was no doubt that Sasuke would be in the hospital before the night was over. By the time I knew Sasuke was done, Neji kept on hitting. And hitting, and hitting… I was too afraid to get in the way to try to make him stop. When Neji stopped, Sasuke laid there motionless. He had been without a chance from the start, Neji had caught him off guard and was angry enough to make up for any weakness he might have had otherwise.

Neji turned to me, his hair coming out of his ponytail and he was breathless. But what hurt me the most was the look in his eyes, betrayal. He seemed to be trying to find the words but unable to find anything to say. I was ready to cry, things had been bad already and then for Neji to see this. He looked worse than I did; I was ready to cry but he was ready to break down completely. Neither if us spoke for what felt like hours. I just wanted to get out of there, but I couldn't leave without him. He seemed to be debating whether to leave me or to try and get an explanation out of me.

"Neji…I'm sorry," I managed to choke out.

"How…How could you?" He looked angry and hurt all at once.

"I…I didn't know…I thought…"

"No, it doesn't look like you were thinking very much," He glared at me like all of the times we'd been together had never happened. "If you'd been thinking, you wouldn't have released the red chakra, the one thing that makes you stand out the most." I stared at him dumbfounded, then remembered that he'd complained about having to tail Hinata out here to keep an eye on her. That must have been how he got here so quickly.

"I didn't want to be here," I blurted, "I had no idea it was Sasuke until he showed up."

"You promised me Naruto," Neji said calmly and I thought I would fall apart at his words. "And I don't think I can trust anything you say anymore."
