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

Flightless

He stopped; his eye's widened at the scene before him, his breathing having stopped for a second that seemed to last forever. Sound stopped a noiseless state that covered everything and dug deep into his ears. Red rimmed eyes flashed dangerously as sound returned, making him believe his ears were bleeding as he felt the static waves ripple at them from a deep place. He breathes also returned in a whoosh that would have made anybody think they had been punched in the gut.

It was all ignored. The pain, the panting form the flushed Sasuke and the loud slam as Neji's back hit the wall. He had reacted, he had growled, dulled by the sudden interruption and the need to continue what he had been doing.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Naruto yelled his voice holding slight desperation. Neji stood up slowly, smirking.

"So that's what he meant," He said low, but still loud enough for Naruto to hear. His glaze held by where Naruto's cat ears should be. Lightly touching one of his cat ears, his tail began to wad slowly behind him. Naruto growled, pushing his rashly back into the wall, making Neji grit his teeth in pain.

"Ya' don't understand anything!" he yelled as his pulled back his arm to punch Neji in the gut, but before it could collide Neji tripped him. The blond fell back, hitting his head. In a heart beat Neji straddled the tan male. Holding his hands above his head in a bruising grip.

"You're right, I don't understand, I still had my ears." Neji taunted the struggling Naruto. "I'm waiting for someone I love, not some cheap flasy." He whispered into Naruto's ear. He stopped struggling his eye's wide.

"It wasn't like that! You don't understand anything. I loved her. It was her; she was the one that used me."

"Liar!" Neji hissed. "Liar!"

"No, no!" Anxiousness filled his eyes as he looked around the room.

"Yes," Neji whispered in return. But Naruto's widened eyes only grow larger. Then the pupils dilated before narrowing, anger returning full force. He pulled back as the thrashing started again.

"No, she used me and left me, taken away be some else." He said pushing Neji off of him, but he didn't base, so Naruto punched. That loosened his hold on the blond boy and he was able to push him off and switch there positions. So that now he was the one on the top, and Neji was the one held.

Pupiless eyes started to ink red eating blue. The anger showed there fire as if trying to eat him alive. He knew the other was hurting him, but it was only when he broke contact with those eyes that he felt the pain from him bruising body.

"Can you only get him when he's in a weaken state? Is that the only way you can be together. When he heartbroken by another?" Neji's breath caught in his throat, as his mind repeated the question. And Naruto could read his doubt.

"Do you really think he'd want you any other way? You drove him to the arms of another man, do you think I'm the first?" Naruto had no idea what he was saying anymore, only that he was hissing it in the others ear, his anger clouding his mind.

Neji's breath returned, but only because of his muscles moving on their own. He was in shock at this moment, his own method of mentally distorting his opponent was being used against him and their was nothing he could do. He felt more punches to his stomach and he coughed air and blood escaping him before he backed down, his face harshly trusted to the side with a knowing bruise.

Naruto huffed falling back onto his butt and tried to catch his breath. It had taken his a couple of minutes to stop his breath on the other boy. His fist clenched the others shirt unconcernedly his anger fading and fear springing up.

He wasn't suppose to be here, he wasn't suppose to rush into a room and beat up Sasuke's… boyfriend? Lover? Rapist? What? He didn't even know what he was to him. He picked up the blond, looking at the other boy.

Sasuke had crawled to the edge of the bed, wide eyes watching the fight between the two. Blue didn't meet black, and Naruto looked back down, before standing up on shaky legs. He may be physical unharmed more or less, but he was mentally tired. Mentally harmed for the moment. A weakness having been exposed. He brushed off imaginary dust from his pants, letting the ghost of a goofy grin at the stupid move, before moving to the door. He couldn't look at Sasuke again, which is why he hadn't turn to him.

"Naruto…"

His hand paused inches from the door handle, before grasping it. He sighed silently to himself.

"I… I had wanted to explain to you.. About this." He said reaching a had up to head. "She… she was some one I loved, and as such would do anything for. When she asked me… I said no… I told her it was too soon… she threatened to leave." A hollow chuckle escaping his lips, before he raised his other hand to clench it. He spoke through that hand, his words slightly muffled. "I didn't know she was already seeing some one else. That person had more… experience and she wants more too. I was he genie pig." He looked at Sasuke with hurt eyes, blue finally meeting black. "It wasn't my intension to lie to you. I just-feel deceived after what happened. You could say I was lying more to myself them anyone else."

"Naruto…." Sasuke began. "Just stop."

"But Sasuke" he cupped one of Sasuke's cheeks. "I just want you to understand-"

"I said stop it!" Sasuke yelled breaking Naruto off. "I don't want to hear you explanations," He paused. "At least not now, not after you barged in here. Saying all thoughts things, and beat the crap out of Neji." Sasuke explained as he turned his head out of Naruto's palm to look at the fallen' Neji.

"Sasuke it's just because I-" Grabbing both cheeks firmly in his hands and he leaned in closer. Hoping to lighted the mood by stealing a kiss.

"Naruto leave me alone!" Sasuke yelled, pushing Naruto hard back against the wall. And swiftly running out the door.

"God! That's not how I was hoping happen!" Naruto exclaimed to himself and rubbed the back of his head, where he felt a small lump. "After I beat Neji's ass Sasuke was suppose to run up add hug me. And as we shared an interment kiss pull me down onto the bed. Where'd he'd ask me to take his innocence." He blushed "Well maybe not that last part, but I should have at least gotten a thank you kiss," Naruto sighed. "Even if it was only on the cheek."

Shikamaru shifted at the weight to had been added to his bed. He craned his peck over to see Sasuke curled up at his back. He sighed but regardless he shifted to lie on his back and wrapped his arm around Sasuke and pushed his into his side. "How troublesome." Shikamaru said softly as not to wake Sasuke.
