Author's note: GOMEN! I'm updating very slowly! Sorry sorry sorry! Since a few days ago was the independence day of Indonesia (YAAAAYY! 17th of August!) I've got a very little time to continue this! Sorry... and THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR REVIEWS! I love love love it! Please keep it up!
NARUTO'S FIRST DATE CHAPTER 8
Sasuke observed Kiba and Neji carefully as he pulled himself up, eyes not leaving the two boys. He straightened his clothes and turned his head to see the shocked and embarrassed Naruto.
"You asked for it..." he said slowly (Kiba's and Neji's eyes grew wider), before he declared that it was time for him to go back to village.
"See you the day after tomorrow... and I do hope we could continue 'that'..." with that, he walked to the door, he stopped for a moment to smirk at Neji as if he said 'I win' before he walked downstairs, and outside.
And so Naruto was left alone to handle the problem...
Naruto POVI stare at them as if they were aliens coming from outer space. I don't know what to say, I don't know how to act, and it looks like my body forgets how to move! Here I am... with this bastard Uchiha Sasuke on top of me, kissing me, and my friends came in and think we're together? Oh wait, scratch that, my friend and my Neji...
I keep telling myself not to panic or chase and then kill Sasuke right here in this instant, though the temptation is great. This bastard never makes the situation even better! Leaving at time like this! At least give them some explanation dammit!
I realize I haven't moved any of my muscles since they came in to this room. Hell like I can. Okay, what to say, what to do?
A. Snap at them, tell them to go away and boys kissing is not something to see.
B. Crying out loud and say that Sasuke has taken away my virginity.
C. Explain them the real thing.
D. Lying and say it's for the drama next month.
E. Just stay there like a total idiot.
The A and B options are not the best options, I suppose... The C one? Nope, telling truth is good but what should I say? 'Oh Neji, that Sasuke kissed me because I told him that I love you!'
No, certainly not, I don't want Neji, of all people, to hate me because he thinks I'm some freakin' gay boy... the D and E one are even worse! So, which one should I pick?
I pick E.
I just stay in that sitting position, I'm too embarrassed to look them in the eye, especially Neji. So I don't break my eye contact with the floor, staring at it as if it could solve all of this misunderstanding.
Neji POVI can't believe my eyes. It must be some kind of hallucination. My crush Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke? Kissing? Nope, that thing never crossed on my mind...
Until now...
It hurts. It hurts when Naruto talked about Sakura or how much he loved him. But I can bear it. I even help him so he can date her.
But seeing him together with another boy?
That's the last thing I want in my short life. Wait, I don't even want that in my short life.. I see he smirks at me, as if mocking me before he walks away. I want to kill that Uchiha right now, I'm ready to pull my kunai out, but...
I feel Kiba's grip on my shoulder, shaking me a bit. Thanks to it, I wake up from my trance. My mind is focused again. I realize Naruto is still there, he stares at the floor, face as red as tomato, he was fumbling with his fingers just like my cousin when she's nervous, and she's ALWAYS nervous.
If the situation is not like this I could take a picture of him, he's so cute like that. But instead of taking my camera, I apologize before I turn my body and walk downstairs.
End POV
"Sorry, Naruto... I didn't mean to interrupt you..." and with that, Neji turned his body and walked away, heading to the kitchen.
No, Neji, Neji wait! Naruto's mind was shouting but he couldn't bring his body to move.
Kiba exchanged his glances between Naruto and Neji, before he followed the prodigy downstairs. He took a last glance at Naruto before he shouted to the Hyuuga boy, demanding him to wait for him.
Naruto was left alone in the room. He sighed, luckily Neji didn't ask anything about the kiss. Now he was thinking about a way to explain this to Neji. Hell like he was going to let his friendship ruined!
Maybe, a talk with Kiba later can clear his mind.
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
"Neji! Neji! Will ya stop for a moment?" the Inuzuka called the genius. But the said person didn't stop. He kept walking, faster.
"Neji!" Kiba said louder, but the older didn't seem to hear him and entered the kitchen.
"Neji! I said—ouch!" Kiba bumped into Neji's back as the Hyuuga stopped abruptly. Kiba rubbed his nose in pain.
"What?" Neji asked but he didn't look at Kiba.
"Neji, I-I... sorry, I didn't mean to... if, if I didn't force you, you wouldn't see... ahum-- 'that'...so, sorry...uum," Kiba tried to find a right sentence.
"..." Neji still didn't look at him.
"Really, I'm sorry..." he put his hand on Neji's shoulder gently.
"Kiba..." Neji called.
"Yes, sir!"
"..." Neji turned his head to look at Kiba.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Neji? Are you alive?" Kiba asked as he waved his hand in front of Neji's face.
"... thanks..." Neji muttered.
"Huh?"
"Thanks... but I prefer to be alone right now..." The Byakugan user shrugged.
"But—"
"Please, leave..." Neji said, a little threatening.
Kiba lowered his face, he turned and walk away, leaving the Hyuuga alone in the kitchen.
Kiba POV
I can't believe what I've done... I make Neji upset and sad! If I didn't bring him to the room... if I didn't reveal his secret...if... if... Aaah! What kind of friend am I? I'm supposed to help him! Not making him saw his crush kissing with someone else! This nasty feeling is nagging in my mind...
Guilt.
I drag my feet to the living room, I'm staring at the ceiling as I walk while I'm thinking about some way... any way to make Neji and Naruto's relationship goes back to normal. I realize something bites the edge of my pants. I look down and saw my faithful partner.
"Akamaru!" I smile as I stroke his white fur gently.
"Arf! Arf!"
"Yeah, Akamaru... I made my friend upset... what should I do?" I sigh in confusion.
"Arf!"
"Help? Yes I know! But... how?"
"Arf?"
"Nope, he likes that Naruto..."
"Arf!"
"Well... I don't know about Naruto... but Neji likes him a lot for sure..."
"Arf!"
"Huh? But..."
"Arf! Arf! Arf!"
I feel myself grinning from ear to ear when I heard that. That's it! Brilliant! Thanks a lot, Akamaru!
End POV
"You're brilliant, Akamaru!" Kiba laughed as he praised his puppy.
"Arf! Arf!" Akamaru barked, glad that his master agreed with him.
"Yeah! If it's true, and if it goes smoothly... they'll form a couple! What a brilliant plan you have!"
"What brilliant plan?"
"GAH!" Kiba jumped out from his skin when he heard a voice sounded from behind his back. He swirled around and saw the eldest of the Sand Siblings, who walked slowly to him.
"Te-Temari! What the heck are you doing in here?" he pointed a finger at her.
"Hey, I'm supposed to help that Uzumaki and that pretty boy... what's his name again...ah, right, Neji in their job, right?" Temari said with a slight of annoyance in her voice.
"Oh..." said Kiba with a tone as if it's a new thing for him.
"By the way... did you see that Uzumaki? It's near lunch time and he didn't show up to help me cook the lunch," Temari asked him.
"Huh? Naruto isn't there in kitchen?" Kiba asked.
"Duh! I wouldn't ask if he's there, right?"
"Oh... yeah!" Kiba grinned stupidly and nodded. Then... he's still in the bedroom? What a persistent boy...
"Tell him to help us in the kitchen if you see him, 'kay?" and she walked back to the kitchen.
"Sure!" he grinned at Temari.
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Okay... first part of the plan... Kiba thought as he took a deep breath and knocked the bedroom door.
"Naruto? Naruto are you in there?" he asked as he knocked again.
"... Kiba?" Naruto's voice came from behind the closed door.
"Yeah, it's me... can I come in?" said Kiba.
The door burst open and a hand grabbed Kiba's sleeve and threw him in.
"WHOA!" the unsuspected Kiba fell flat on his face with a loud 'THUMP' right after Naruto closed the door quietly.
"YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THAT!" Kiba shouted as he checked his teeth in a nearby mirror. Yep... still complete... he sighed in relief before he slumped himself in his sleeping bag.
"Sorry... but thank goodness you're here, Kiba! I really really need to talk to someone right now!" said Naruto in a desperate voice. He moved slowly to sit beside Kiba.
"About what? That kiss?" asked Kiba, even though he knew the answer already.
Naruto's face exploded in a blush. "Umm... uhmm... yes."
"So...?" Kiba gestured Naruto to continue.
"Umm... d-do you think... it's wrong?" asked Naruto, his eyes didn't leave the floor.
"Why would I think it's wrong?" Kiba asked back.
Naruto's eyebrows twitched. "Because I'm a GUY! and that Sasuke is a GUY too, and if Ne—" but he stopped his sentence before he spilled out his secret.
"So?"
"Don't you get it?"
"Nope... I didn't see anything is wrong about that..." Kiba shook his head.
"But I didn't ask for it!"
"Oh... if—wait, you didn't ask for it?" Kiba repeated Naruto's words.
"Like hell I did!" Naruto huffed.
"So... you and Sasuke... are not...ahum, you know... together?" Kiba asked.
"Like hell we are!" Naruto shouted to Kiba's face.
"Oh..." Kiba nodded. Hey... first part of the plan: ask Naruto if he and Sasuke are together, completed.
"Then why did he kiss you?" Kiba asked again.
"I-I..." Naruto stopped his words.
"Spit it out..."
Naruto looked to his right and then to his left, as if checking if anybody else was listening. His cheeks were bright red as he took a deep breath and blurted out.
"IlikehimrecentlybutIdon'tknowwhattodobutthenthatbastardknewitiaskedhimnottotellanybodyandi'lldoanythingthenhekissme! Could you believe that?" Naruto talked faster than the speed of light.
"... excuse me?..." said Kiba. Naruto's eyebrows twitched, he took a deep breath again.
"I-I... goddammit, I'll put this simple... I like him," Naruto sighed in defeat.
"Who, Sasuke?"
"No, Chouji..." Naruto said sarcastically.
"WHAT?" Kiba's jaw dropped to the floor.
"Of course Neji you idiot!" Naruto blushed.
"Oh, I see! I see! I understand that you—" pause. "REPEAT THAT AGAIN, UZUMAKI!" Kiba pointed his finger at Naruto.
"I like him?"
"THE OTHER ONE!"
"Chouji?"
"NO, AFTER THAT!"
"I'm the most handsome and sexy guy in the universe, and someday I'll be the Hokage and I'll destroy all the restaurant and change it into Ramen shop?"
"No! THE—hey, you didn't say that..."
"I didn't?"
"Naruto..." Kiba was annoyed.
"Okay, okay! Listen carefully 'cause I won't repeat this again, okay? I. Like. Hyuuga. Neji. More. Than. Just. A. FRIEND!" Naruto stretched out his last sentence.
"Y-you..." Kiba couldn't believe his ears. Second part of the plan: ask if he's against boys together and third part of the plan: ask if he likes Neji more than a friend, completed.
"Don't tell this to anybody, okay Kiba?" Naruto put a finger on his own lips.
"Goddammit Naruto! Don't you know that Neji—" but then Kiba remembered something.
Flashback
"Relax! I won't tell anybody! As if my mouth was zipped!" he promised.
"Sure you won't... If not, I'll be the one who make sure you have your mouth zipped," Neji threatened. Oh, if looks could kill... Kiba would be dead by now.
End flashback
Kiba gulped. Well, if he told Naruto too... he won't have his mouth zipped together, right? He remembered Neji's face when he threatened him and shuddered. So Kiba decided to keep his promise and continue with his plan.
"Neji what?" Naruto broke the silence.
"Ne-Neji... um, is a... boy..." Kiba smacked himself mentally. Stupid! That's obvious!
"I KNOW! That's why I don't tell him! He'll hate me!"
"Why?"
"Don't you get it, idiot? Neji's... um... Neji is... is Neji straight?" Naruto asked Kiba.
Kiba fought the urge to roll his eyes, but he did it anyway.
"Why did you ask me? I'm not his boyfriend!" Kiba shrugged, pretending that he knew nothing.
"Sure..." Naruto nodded in agreement.
"But one thing I know, Naruto... he does not hate you!" Kiba ruffled Naruto's blonde mane.
"Stop that!" Naruto said with an annoyed tone. But he grinned widely at Kiba and punched him playfully on the chest.
"Thanks, pal! I feel a lot better now!" Naruto laughed as he stood up. "I'm going to talk to Neji!" he sang joyfully and ran downstairs.
Kiba felt a wide grin spread on his face when Naruto's figure was out of sight. Fourth part of the plan: Make Naruto and Neji kiss each other, progressing.
He stood up and followed the blonde downstairs.
Maybe a little game will help them... he snickered.
