Author's Note: People demanded me for update, so... I updated! I keep my promise, right? Beware, a little OOC in this chapter.
NARUTO'S FIRST DATE CHAPTER 5
"AAAAAHHHH! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! KIBA! YOU CHEATED!" Naruto screamed.
They decided that the morning training will be one on one fight and the opponent was decided with lottery. And the result was: Lee vs Shikamaru (Lee won easily since Shikamaru was too lazy to fight back. Lee demanded for a rematch but Shikamaru rejected since a rematch is too troublesome), Neji vs Chouji (And there's no doubt that the Hyuuga prodigy won! What will happen if Chouji won? Sorry, no offense Chouji fans), and Naruto vs Kiba (just like the chuunin exam). But after a few minutes it looked like Kiba has successfully made Akamaru peed on Naruto.
"STOP IT! DISGUSTING!" Naruto tried to ran away but Kiba held him still. And Naruto was too panicked to do a kawarimi.
"Ha! No way until you give up!"
"NEVER!"
"Well then, Akamaru..." Kiba grinned evilly.
"Arf!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGHHH!"
"My, this fight looks weird..." Shikamaru commented as he watched both of them.
"It looks stupid for me..." Neji added.
"No wonder... both of them are idiots," said Lee.
"YOU CHEATED!" Naruto shouted at Kiba.
"NO I'M NOT! THIS IS AKAMARU'S SPECIAL ATTACK! DYNAMIC AIR MARKING!"
"DISGUSTING ATTACK!"
"WHO CARES!"
After a round of shouting and screaming, the angry Naruto has managed to beat Kiba into a pulp.
"Dammit!" Naruto growled as he walked to join the others.
"Don't approach us! You smell like shit!" Shikamaru shooed Naruto away.
"Blame that dog and his damn master!" Naruto growled again as he glared at Kiba who rubbed his bruised cheek.
"Then let's use the hot spring! People said that hot spring is good for healing wounds faster!" Lee exclaimed.
"I've heard about that, but what about shitty smell? You better take a bath..." Neji commented as he earned another glare from Naruto.
"To the hot spring right now? But I'm tired and it's troublesome..." said Shikamaru.
"I agree...besides, I'm hungry!" Kiba raised his hand, accompanied by a nod from Chouji.
"Okay, fine... how 'bout this afternoon?" Lee suggested.
"Whatever..." Naruto muttered.
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Later that afternoon...
Shikamaru, Kiba and Chouji were in the bedroom, searching for their towel while Neji and Lee have gone first to the hot spring.
"Say, where's Naruto?" asked Kiba.
"I don't know, he's..." but before Shikamaru could finish his sentence, Naruto entered the bedroom.
"--right here," Shikamaru finished his sentence proudly.
"Naruto, what took you so long?" asked Chouji.
"Sorry! Just wait a moment! I've just finished my sweeping job!" Naruto jogged to his bag and took his towel.
"Thanks a lot, Cinderella..." Kiba teased while Naruto glared daggers. "Why you..." Naruto hissed, his palm clenched into a fist.
"Guys, are you coming or not?" Shikamaru called from the door, Chouji was beside him.
"Oh--hey, wait for us!" Kiba ran after the Nara, followed closely by Naruto.
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
"Where's the hot spring, anyway?" Naruto asked after they walked for about three minutes.
"It's not that far... five-minutes walk and you're there..." Chouji explained while he pointed to the west. Suddenly a loud scream was heard from the hot spring.
"NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"What? That's thick brows' voice!" said Naruto, concerned.
With a well-trained reflex, all of them dashed with speed of light to the hot spring. Of course with speed like that, they reached the hot spring in a mere seconds.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked.
Lee and Neji were there, half soaked in the water, bodies wet (why, of course, that's the law of nature). Lee was strangling Neji and he's in the edge of tears. And they wore nothing but a towel on their head (You know the Japanese people wear towel like that when in the hot spring, right?)
"HOW COULD YOU? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME, NEJI-KUN?" Lee shouted to Neji's face and sobbing in the same time.
"Huh? What happened here?' asked Shikamaru.
"NEJI-KUN! ANSWER ME!" Lee ignored Shikamaru and shook Neji's body violently.
"Ghkkk—hhhkkkk..." said Neji.
"I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU! DON'T PLAY WITH ME AT TIME LIKE THIS!"
"Dude? You're strangling him so he CAN'T talk..." Kiba informed while the blue-face-because-lack-of-oxygen Neji did his best to nod once.
"Huh? Oh yeah..." Lee released his grip and Neji fell to the water accompanied with a 'splash' sound.
"Haaaaaaaaa...hhh" Neji surfaced immediately and took a deep breath as if he never took a breath before.
"So... what happened? Damn, repeating is troublesome..." Shikamaru repeated his question.
Lee sobbed again. "Neji... Neji-kun... UWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Lee cried, he jumped out from the water and threw himself to the nearest person, who happened to be Kiba. He sobbed to Kiba's shoulder while Kiba (after he wrapped a towel around Lee's waist) was trying desperately to run away with an 'ew-get-away-from-me-you-freak-oh-and-you're-wet' expression.
"Cut it out, you're making this fic looked like cheesy romance story, what happened?" Naruto started to get annoyed.
"NEJI-KUN FORGOT TO BRING MY..."
"Your what?" everyone asked in unison (except Neji, he was too busy breathing)
"MY RUBBER DUCK!" Lee cried.
Long silence.
"Rubber... duck?" asked Kiba, in case his ears failing him.
"YES! I ALWAYS BRING MY RUBBER DUCK EVERYWHERE BUT TODAY I'M BUSY SO I ASKED NEJI-KUN TO BRING IT FOR ME BUT HE FORGOT! Oooh... poor Bebek-chan (1)!"
"Bebek-chan?" Chouji echoed.
"Yes, that's his name, cute name... he must be lonely now... what should I do?" said a hopeless Lee.
"You lock your room so how do I take it, idiot? Besides... you have thousands of rubber ducks, which one should I take?" Neji stepped out from the hot spring, wrapping a towel around his waist.
Naruto can felt blood rushed to his cheeks. He knew that Neji is handsome but he never knew that he's... hot. He didn't know that Neji has that smooth white skin and that perfect body frame. Naruto quickly held his nose to prevent nosebleed.
Naruto shook his head. Dammit...What's wrong with me?
"Hey Naruto, what's wrong with you? Your face is red..." said Chouji.
"N-nothing... I...I forgot I haven't sweep the bathroom... I-I gotta go..." with that, he dashed back to the cottage.
"What's with him?" asked Shikamaru, Chouji shrugged before replied.
"Maybe he was shocked because Lee has a lot of rubber duck..."
It's just me... or he's blushing when he saw... me? thought Neji, but he shook his head and threw that thought out from his mind. Impossible... Naruto still have a crush for that oversized forehead girl... heh, how I envy her...
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Naruto ran inside the bedroom and slammed the door, panting a little. Then he threw himself to his sleeping bag and buried his face on the pillow.
Dammit dammit dammit dammit! What the hell is wrong with me? He's my friend, my best friend! It's just Kiba's words were starting to affect me... so, I must get rid of this feeling as soon as possible, Neji will hate me if he knows, he will think I'm some kind of freak, no... I certainly don't want that...Naruto rolled and stared at the ceiling above. Right now sleep is the best way to clear his mind, so he closed his eyes. He will sleep and tomorrow he will ask Neji about dating Sakura again and Neji will answer like normal, maybe, with that, maybe he can forget this feeling. Since we're talking about Naruto, he fell asleep right after he closed his eyes. Tomorrow everything will get back to normal.
Yes, it will, it MUST.
Unaware to him, four dark figures were spying upon him from a nearby tree.
"Should we barge in now?" asked one of them.
"No, we'll wait until morning comes..." the other one answered with a smirk.
-TBC-
Author's note: Hey, what's this? Naruto was thinking a way to get rid of his feeling? Ah... anyway, no need to worry, this IS a NejiNaru fic. Oh, and about Sasuke, he WILL appear, I wrote 'hints of SasuNaru' in the summary, right? How do we make hints of SasuNaru without Sasuke? So he will appear... in NEXT CHAPTER! But he won't do anything with Naru-chan... well yeah, maybe a little but the main pairing is NejiNaru! So... review!
