Naruto was carried by the sand to his bed. No one argued because of the fact that at least no one was touching him physically. All three boys stared at each other and narrowed their eyes. Sasuke, currently glaring at Gaara was the first to speak. "No one is to touch Naruto." Neji looked at him and Gaara before saying "I agree, but I don't trust you two…" Gaara spoke up with a bit of a smile on his face. "I have no problem watching you two, I don't sleep. I'm an insomniac." Neji and Sasuke looked away from Gaara and looked at each other before nodding in silent agreement. Both spoke at the same time. "I'll take first watch!" "I'll watch him first." They huffed until Neji gave in reluctantly. "Fine. I'll sleep first then. I need my beauty sleep anyway." Neji left the two in order to get ready for bed. Neji slept on the sofa while Sasuke and Gaara sat in front of the door to Naruto's room. Gaara was the first one to speak. "I've seen you with him on that day. With that girl." Gaara looked away and narrowed his eyes at the word "girl", but continued anyway. "Why does Naruto seem to be close to her?" Sasuke was surprised at the question, raising an eyebrow at him, but answered him. "We are a three person team, and Naruto has been saying that he wants to date her for a long time." Sasuke's eyes closed. "I've been waiting until his stupid obsession with girls was over with, but I guess that may not happen. Either way, I never want to force him to do anything, unlike some people…" Sasuke looked at Gaara when he said this. Gaara narrowed his eyes. "I do love Naruto, and I will not hurt him." Sasuke was trying hard to calm down. "I saw how he looked today when I got in the door. I'm not stupid. Don't do anything like that again, or else." Gaara glanced at Sasuke and sized him up. "Or what? You are no threat to me." Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "I'll kill you…even if I die in the process."

Sasuke was finally able to get some sleep as Neji took over watch. Neji looked sideways at Gaara before speaking. "How are you close to Naruto anyway?" Gaara looked at Neji. "I could ask you the same question." Neji sighed, and opened his mouth to speak. However, Gaara spoke first. "He and I are the same. We both hold something that everyone despises. He knows my feelings best. And…" Gaara looked away for a moment before continuing. "He knocked some sense into me." Neji smiled a bit before replying. "He did the same for me. At the chuunin exams, he and I fought. He taught me that fate is not predetermined. He made me feel…alive." Gaara made a grunt in mutual understanding. Neji began to think for a moment about Sasuke. Sasuke was his real enemy. Before he knew it he mumbled out loud. "Damn Sasuke, He's not the number one rookie around here, I am…" Gaara looked at Neji before asking. "You both were first in your classes?" Neji looked startled for a moment before continuing on "Yes." His eyes narrowed as he stared in the direction of the Uchiha. Gaara smirked. "So was I…"

Naruto awoke and sat up, yelling from what he thought was a nightmare. He had thought that Gaara, Neji and Sasuke were madly in love with him and wanted him. Naruto laughed off his nightmare until he saw all three of them barge into the room at once. Sasuke was the first to speak, looking a little ruffled from sleep. "Dobe, are you ok?!" Neji spoke up next. "Naruto?! What happened?!" To this sight, Naruto screamed. "AAAHHHHHHH!!!" Gaara could only take so much. "STOP!" Everyone was quiet and stared at him. Gaara calmed down and all three resumed looking at Naruto. Naruto was at a loss. He looked left and right. It was as though they expected something from him. "So…it wasn't a dream?" Naruto looked at the three of them. Sasuke turned to the side, hiding his small blush before mumbling. "Of course not, Dobe." Naruto looked at all three of them. "What…What time is it?" This time Neji spoke up. "It's almost seven am." Naruto sighed before running a hand through his hair. "Why don't we all have breakfast and discuss things…I think…"

Naruto ate his food, his eyes darting from person to person. When he was done, he put the plates in the sink and turned to face the three boys. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" Caught of guard, Gaara and Neji fell to the floor in shock. Gaara was saved last minute by his sand, and Neji managed to get up so gracefully it seemed as though he had never fallen. Sasuke, the only one who expected a loud reaction from the blond cleared his throat. "We all want you Naruto. So, you have to pick which one of us you want. It better be me dobe, I've been waiting ever since we became team members!" Naruto looked a bit shocked, but managed to calm down a little. He rubbed his head before proceeding. "Uh…in case you three haven't noticed I'm kinda into girls…so I don't really want any of you…" Sasuke hit his forehead and rubbed his temples. He was afraid of this kind of answer. Gaara was more determined and walked closer to Naruto. "What girl do you like? I'll get rid of her and you can pick me." Gaara smiled. He knew which girl he liked but he had to make sure. "No no NO!! I don't want anyone killed or injured…" Naruto sighed out loud. He didn't know what to do. Neji came up to him and held his hand. "Please Naruto? Just give it a chance? How about a date? I'll take you to get some ramen…" Naruto shook his head. He was getting confused and tired of trying to explain that he liked girls. 'I do…right?' "Okay, here's the thing. I know for a fact that I like girls. In order to prove it, I will go on a date!" The three of them looked almost hopeful for a moment until Naruto continued. "I will go on a date with a girl!" The three immediately sulked. Sasuke and Gaara were enraged, and although Neji was a bit calmer than the other two, he was pretty angry.

"I won't let anyone else touch you!" The three shouted this simultaneously at Naruto. Naruto cringed at the thought of what these three guys would do to any girl he talked to let alone dated. It was settled. "Fine, I'll date each of you instead, but there is one catch. I'll give each of you two dates, but if I don't like you by the second date, then you'll leave me alone and just be my friends. All right?" The three of them looked unsure for a while. "How about three?" Gaara calmly asked. Naruto sighed, but agreed. Gaara quickly agreed, and Sasuke followed, not wanting to turn down a challenge. Neji, not wanting to lose to Sasuke agreed as well. 'Heh heh heh all I have to do is go on three dates each and then turn all three down. I am a genius.'

EC: " eh heh heh…

Sasuke: What the heck was that? -.-.

Neji: I could have done better…

Gaara: glare

EC: SORRY!! I know it sucked ok? cries The dates are next. Sasuke first then Neji and then Gaara…
