AN/:no i do not own naruto in any way because if i did there'd be a lot more gay sex in it including lesbian sex.
Disclaimers-this chapter kinda bashes on Neji. But don't get the wrong idea. Neji is one of my favorite characters I just wanted to experiment a bit, so there enjoy.

Sasuke's POV:
I can't let him. I won't let him get Naruto. He's just too good to be corrupted by someone like Itachi. He can do whatever he wants to me, but I won't let him have Naruto. I look at him and his smile, it's just so captivating. I can't turn my back on that. It's just been a few a hours and already he considers me a friend. A friend? Do I really want to be his friend? No. I want him. I want to protect him from the insults and that sadness that is sometimes visible in his eyes. You think I don't see it, dobe? You're wrong. I see it, the anguish the pain and loneliness. Why?Because you are just like me. You know what its like if not more. I see you hugging sis right now and it seems like you never want to let go. You've never had someone. Someone special that is until now. Your eyes are a phenomenon to me. Bright blue like the ever changing sea and the unknown sky above. Your smile just weakens me to the point where all I want to do is let go just not remember anything but you. Do you think of me? Hinata-chan just caught me again staring at him, I think she knows already. With those eyes she can see right through me, but even so it does not bother her. We've walked to 7th period now, bell rang everyone's in their seats. We sit next to each other as Gaara and Haku join us. They seem to have clicked but they are close to Hinata-chan. Talking to her. It's English 9A and I don't pay much attention to Asuma-sensei. He seems to hate the subject although my kitsune is enthralled with it, he writes down the assignment attentively. "Sasuke-teme, you want to partner up for this one?" He asks and then he's pushed away by someone. That catches my attention. At first glance I though it was a fan girl, but no, Hinata-chan seems to have scared them to death. "Hey, Uchiha." Says the calm cool voice of none other than Hyuga Neji. Then my anger is peeked as I see Naruto nursing a scrape on his knee. "What, do you want Hyuga?" I try to keep my voice level but demanding as well. "It seems Uchiha Sasuke that you do not mind exchanging formalities with this thing over here and you have gotten Hinata-sama involved as well but I cannot let that be. Trash and human being should never mix, you should be aware of that since you are an Uchiha." He said this with such an air of superiority it could make anyone think he was of royal blood. "First of all Hyuga, this is none of your concern. Second of all Hinata-chan is a big girl and can make her own decisions." At this I looked at Hinata and she nodded in agreement. "Now, if you'll excuse me I have to help my friend up from where you unceremoniously dropped him, Hyuga." I said as I headed over and extended a hand towards Naruto. He took it and he stumbled a little as I caught him again from the waist and held him against me. "This will continue, meet me at The Port five sharp, Uchiha and bring that thing with you, I want to see when it hits the floor.. after you have fallen of course." Said the angered Hyuga. The Port is the only place where anything and everything illegal is sold and marketed to underage youth. It is known as The Port as its club name but there is so much more behind it. It is owned by none other Gatou a very wealthy crook this side of town. But the true name of it is The Portal, AKA-drugs, sex, prostitution, money laundering and underage fight clubs. It is known to all the wealthy families including the Uchihas as the zone where anything goes. "I'll be there." Was all I said. He left us and then I realized I was still holding a blushing Naruto against me. "Um..Sasuke I think we should take our seats now, don't wanna get in any more trouble."He said, his voice coming out meek and shy. "Hn. Whatever." Is all I said trying to keep my face stoic after realizing I was that close to my kitsune and letting go. "Oh yeah, there's this assignment we have to do in pairs, I mean I was wondering...that is if you don't mind..." Naruto trailed off looking away from me. "Spit it out already, dobe." I said still trying to keep my face blank. "Don't be a bastard teme, I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to be my partner." He said a little red in the face. God if only he knew what that word really meant to him. 'Partner? anytime my kitsune if only for you.' would've been my response if I wasn't me. Maybe Naruto's right about the stick up my ass thing although I'd rather have other 'things' there. "Yeah, whatever usuratonkachi." After a small pause in which I was glomped afterwards by a very cheerful blond. If only you knew kitsune.
Naruto's POV:
Okay this day just keeps on getting weird and good at the same time. Sasuke-teme just stood up for me. He looks so sure and confident and he called me 'friend.' Is that all I am to him?I don't know I just get this weird feeling every time I'm near him. It's not a just friends thing. He's just I don't know...charming? Okay, wait up. Since when do I like guys? Am I gay? If I am why Sasuke-teme? Why not Haku or even Gaara? God I am so confused. 'Admit it Naruto, you have the hots for the Uchiha.' A silent but clear husky voice spoke in his mind. 'I DO NOT, HE'S MY FRIEND AND THAT'S ALL!' I yelled at that pervy voice trying to quiet it. 'Yes you do or you wouldn't have blushed when he held you. You like him a lot. Come on you gotta admit he's a looker. The weird hair, kinda emo but who gives a damn? Those intense onyx eyes and those lush pale lips. God you know you want him go for it.' Oh my god, I'm such a pervert. He's my friend. I don't even think he's gay and if he is I'm such a dork he'll never like me. 'Oh, come on Naruto, not gay?The Uchiha has it written all over him. He looks like a girl, he's emo and he doesn't have a girlfriend. Could you be anymore of a dumb ass? I swear for someone so smart you can be stupid sometimes. Just look at the way he looks at you, he's probably undressing you with his eyes.' At this Naruto looked up at a startled Uchiha. He kinda liked the way those eyes met his. Okay Naruto, you're going insane, yeah that's it you've completely lost your mind he was not undressing you with his eyes. "I can practically see through this-"Came the voice of the Uchiha. "What!" Naruto suddenly panicked and put his jacket on. "I said, I can practically see through this its going to be an easy assignment." Naruto calmed down and took off his jacket. "Oh." Was all he said as the teme quirked an eyebrow in question. "Um, yeah all we have to do is write a two sided short romance story based on "Romeo and Juliet" modern times." He said trying to call attention away from his little outburst. "Hey cut the racket, listen..since there is an uneven amount of students there will be a group of three for this a assignment, any volunteers?" Nobody raised there hands as Asuma-sensei said this and then everyone was looking at our side of the room I looked around and sure enough three hands were raised. "Mr. Sabaku you and your team will have a morphed assignment, meaning your story will have three parts to it got it?" The red-head nodded in response. Everyone cringed at this. A love story?From Gaara nonetheless? Then the bell rang. "Get the hell outta' my classroom." Was all he said in a gruff voice. Everyone was glad to oblige.
Hinata's POV:
I don't care what Neji-niisan said I will not give my friends up. I seem to have grown closer to Gaara-kun and Haku-kun, they just have this tranquility and grace about them that draws me to them. I smile as we head to the gym I bid good bye to them as I go get changed in the girl's locker room. Most girls seem to be afraid of me, I don't care as long as they leave me and my friends alone. I find myself being self conscious. My body, I don't like to expose it. It brings back bad memories. I make sure I am the last one out. I am afraid for anyone to see the bruises. My friends most of all. Would they still accept me if they saw? I am not pretty. I make sure my shorts are pulled low over my waist so as not expose my bruised up legs. I wear a long sleeved undershirt before my assigned school t-shirt. No, I wont let this get in the way. I wont let them see. I go out and greet them sitting next to them, Naru-kun and Sasuke-kun. They look at me and smile. We have two physical education teachers; Anko-sensei and Gai-sensei. Although Anko-sensei seems to be a bit psychotic about physical training, Gai-sensei seems to be enthused and quite frightenning on the subject of physical endurance and youth. Our first challenge is gymnastics. I am called to the front to demonstrate my skills at dodging balls(kind of like dodge ball but different because of the speed in which these balls are thrown). The object is to train the body on physical endurance. I step up to the center of the mat closing my eyes as I do so. All I need is to hear. The harsh noise of a bullet like ball almost graces my ear as I eloquently move aside dancing away. Back flips choosing my destination without question as the amount of small round objects advances, speed is the goal as well as attention. I do a back hand spring as five objects come closer and my body does the rest. I'm standing sharply on one foot and then I jump high up and land on attention in front of the many awestruck faces. "The fountain of youth is within you young child, well done." Says a very exited Gai-sensei. "You did good kiddo." Says a very a blunt Anko-sensei. "Oh my god sis how the hell did you do that?!"Naruto-kun grins at me amazed. "Yeah." Said Sasuke and the rest just nodded. They didn't seem to notice what Gaara noticed. "Hinata-chan can I speak with you for a moment?" Came the quiet voice of the red-head. I nodded and followed him to a corner. "What is that?" He asked I didn't know what he was talking about until he motioned to my slightly exposed thigh.
Gaara's POV:
She moves so beautifully like she's flying or gliding. Nothing can touch her. Her hair moves swiftly while shinning as light hits her and then she just stands and stops moving. Her performance has ended. She's smiling that angelic smile. Then I see it. Something I've seen before but didn't expect from her. Her pale skin marred by a purple green bruise. Who would do that to her?And why?She was one of the kindest people he'd ever met. The others didn't seem to notice this. "Hinata-chan can I speak with you for a moment?" I say, she nods and follows me to a corner. "What is that?" She seemed not to know what I was talking about so I pointed it out to her. "Um, n-nothing Gaara-kun." She stutters as she tries to conceal it. She looks like a butterfly trapped by a spider. I get a hold of her hand and look into her eyes. There is visible shame there. She looks defeated and she slides down the wall to the floor. She's shaking, I'm right next to her kneeling there holding her hand. "Who does this to you?!" I said anger pounding through my blood. "I can't...I can't say." She says her voice weak. "I will respect that for now, Hinata-chan..is there more?" I asked unsure if I should push the subject or not. She nods in shame as slow tears abandon those pearly white eyes. I can't stand to see her like this. I gently tilt her head with my index finger and look her in the eyes. "Hinata-chan just know you are not alone in this." I say and at this I pull up my sleeve to reveal the cigarette burns and many bruises, some old some new. She gasps and looks up at me. It is not pity I see in her eyes it is mutual understanding, pain. Then I feel frail arms come around my neck and warmth embraces me. For the first time in my life someone cares. Is this what it feels like to be loved?Then and there I promised myself I will find those who hurt her and hurt them. I will take you away from this Hina-chan. "Thank you, Gaara-kun." Her shy voice and breath excite my ears. Electricity shoots through my spine.
Haku's POV:
I can't help but look at them. They look so graceful, angelic together. Gaara the quiet. Hinata the beauty. I am enthralled by them. I wish I could touch them, just once. Just a touch and I am happy. She just embraced him and he's smiling, not a murderous smile but a genuine smile. How can I be attracted to both of them?I want to make her mine and I want him to make me his. Does it make sense?No. I wonder if they're feeling like I am. The smiles, the gestures are driving me insane. Can I not have both of them? They are looking at me and I smile out of reflex. This is wrong. It's more than sex, is it...love?
Naruto's POV:
I'm sure of it now. Both Anko-sensei and Gai-sensei are psychos. First of all Gai-sensei is a green loving bushy brow wearing mushroom headed pain in the ass about fountains of youth. Second of all Anko-sensei is a loud mouth yelling I'll kick your ass if you look at my ass too long psychotic murderous and did I mention psychotic woman? That's it I'm failing P.E. The bell is ringing. Time to get changed. I walk to the locker room after Sasuke. Do you hate me Kami-sama? I walk right next to Sasuke to open my locker and get my clothes. I try to stare only at the walls or my locker but sometimes my eyes linger. He's opening his locker. Now he's taking off his shirt which gives me a very nice view of his abs, which are a god send really. He's pale but not too pale. Then the sweats go down and what do you know? He's wearing very short briefs. Which distract me. I'm changing and staring out of the corner of my eye. I look away and continue undressing.
Sasuke's POV:
Why the hell does my locker have to be next to Naruto's?Then again it's also a blessing I just hope I don't get a damn nosebleed or hard on. God he's perfect. His skin. It's a little darker than mine, but its just a torture to watch him undress. He's taking off his shirt and all I can do is stare, he has the perfect build. I wonder how his skin feels. Then his shorts go and I have to look away he's just untouched something so holy. An angel? He's my kitsune.
Gaara's POV:
Is it supposed to be like this? Why am I looking at him? He's my friend. Nothing more. Haku?Why him? I know because he belongs to me. Like Hina-chan he is what I've been waiting for. I want him. I watch as his long hair falls down his back like a waterfall. He looks so serene. I do not want him to look at me. I unlike him am not a vision of beauty I am just an alternative nothing more. If I touched him would he want me?
Sasuke's POV:
We're out. It's after school and we're all together. We walk silently towards 'The Port' were we are expected. No one speaks. We make it, the entrance is open in the back for us. All we see are fences around us in the afternoon sun. It's us versus them. The Hyuga is already there smiling a vicious mile in our direction. "I see you uphold your clans name well, Sasuke-san. I expected as much from an Uchiha." Said the very anger littered voice of the Hyuga. "Let's get this going then, Hyuga." I said getting annoyed. The Hyuga walked up to face me a smile so contorted I couldn't tell. We took our fighting stances and we were off. Quick, light no match for the pace of us as fists collided. The Hyuga was skilled in the art of combat but not in brutality at least that's what Sasuke thought. He was winning. The Hyuga could barely breathe as Sasuke was about to put in his signature move the bastard ran at him knife in hand. Slicing through skin and grazing bone and everyone stared wide eyes. Sasuke fell into something warm. "Hyuga! Why? You coward..you knew he was better than you. Yet you pulled this to win?" Came the voice of an outraged blond. Then he knew it, it was Naruto who broke his fall. "I do not recall rules being set for this match. He is just like you trash." The stoic male said as he turned to walk away. "I will make sure you eat those words, Hyuga, you piece of shit-COWARD!"Came the very angry voice of the blond. "If there is something I do not tollerate is insults from vermin such as you. I accept your challenge." At this the blond motioned for Haku and Gaara to take care of Sasuke. The boys understood and took the bleeding raven. "Alright then, give me your best shot, prep." Said the blond angering the stoic brunette yet again. The brunette advanced at him, but never reached the blond as he fell face first on the pavement. Next thing he knew his face burned. The blond had managed to bruise it up pretty good. The brunette scanned the area, another kick another punch but no blond. Too fast. Just orange blurs here and there. "What the-." He never got to finish it. The brunette's face was smashed on the pavement. He was coughing. "Still think you're the best piece of shit on the planet?" Came the very loud voice of the pissed off Naruto. The brunette coughed. "Though so, never underestimate Uzumaki Naruto!" Yelled the kitsune as soon as he walked away from the bleeding Neji. "You okay, there teme?" Asked Naruto and all I could do was stare. God Naruto you surprise me.
