"Gaara. Gaara, wake up. Class is almost over." Haku whispered to Gaara, gently shaking him.

Gaara groaned and his eyes fluttered open. "Hmm." He moaned.

"How do you feel?" Haku asked, smiling at the tousled red head.

"Better." He mumbled, rubbing his eye. He turned his head to look at Neji and blushed slightly. He sat up and looked around.

"Class is almost over. Just thought you'd like to know." Haku said, rubbing his back. Gaara nodded, laying his head on the table. The bell rang and the red head groaned, dragging himself out of the class room.

"So, where do you live?" Gaara asked Sasuke as they walked out of school. Sasuke smirked and continued walking. Gaara fell instep beside Haku and Neji. After ten minutes of total silence, Sasuke spoke up.

"We're here." He said, walking into the yard of a beautiful mansion.

Gaara looked on with awe. In the yard was an assortment of flowers, shrubs, bushes and trees. Further in, he noticed a pond. Surrounding the pond were little Sakura trees, just coming into bloom. He decided to venture over to the pond for further inspection.

Neji watched as he walked towards the pond. "Sasuke," Neji said, elbowing said raven haired boy slightly. "Just go in. I'm gonna talk to him." He motioned towards the petite red head. Sasuke smirked and nodded.

Neji jogged over to Gaara and stood beside him, gazing into the pond. The red head glanced to his right side, noticing the Hyuuga.

"It's nice, ne?" Neji asked in a hushed tone.

Gaara turned his head to look at Neji. As he looked at the boy, he was struck breathless.

A breeze that had just gone by had swept Sakura blossoms into his hair. His face remain calm and relaxed. His eyes though. His eyes seemed full of emotion.

Neji turned his head slowly to look at Gaara and smiled. Gaara blushed but kept his eyes locked with Neji's. The brunette advanced closer to Gaara, cupping his cheek. Gaara's eyes widened, yet he couldn't bring himself to stop the older boy.

"You have beautiful eyes, Gaara." Neji said, gazing deep into the smaller boys emerald green orbs.

Gaara stood stalk still, anticipating on what could possibly happen.

Neji titled his chin upwards. Gaara felt his heart skip a beat as Neji leaned down and captured his lips in a soft, yet pleasurable, kiss. There was nothing provocative about the kiss. There was no tongue, nor was it chaste. Just a soft, sweet meeting of their lips.

Neji pulled away and stared into Gaara's eyes. Said red head stared back, mouth agape and face flushed.

"Gaara?" Neji whispered, caressing his cheek. "Will you... go out with me? As in... Be my boyfriend?"

Gaara's face, if possible, flushed even redder. "N-Neji I-... What I m-mean to s-say is... Y-...Yes."

Neji smiled brightly. Gaara wrapped his arms around Neji's middle. Neji in turn wrapped his arms around Gaara's shoulders.

"We should go in before they come to get us."

Gaara nodded and pulled out of the embrace. Neji grabbed his hand and led him towards the house. One thought that presented itself to Gaara was how to reply to Haku's note.

So sorry for making you guys wait! I lost the book everything was written in and I was too lazy to look for it. Once school ended... I lost the inspiration to update. The only reason I was really writing this story was to piss my teachers off. But... I've recently discovered that that's not the case anymore! YAY! Umm... Updates will most likely be a little slow. I have summer school for another week and then I'll be away camping for awhile. But while I am camping, I will write more. I will make sure to have a really long chapter 8 or 9. To those still reading this story,I am sorry for the wait. Thank you for sticking with me. And Corvin- Thanks hun! You really helped me, somehow... I LOVE YOU ALL!

REVIEW! Please?
