Sasuke awoke from his bed, stumbling all over his room. Still a bit groggy, he looked in the mirror and winced.

"I look like mom in the morning…" He pawed at his hair.

Groaning, he made his way into the bathroom. Taking a quick shower and fixing his hair to his liking, he made his way back into his room and changed into his clothes that he had lay out last night, a plain gray long-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans. Taking another good look in the mirror, he smiled.

~I'm such a girl…~

Neji's morning wasn't as pleasant. He awoke startled when he felt a sharp pain in his side, and sat up.

~Ow… what was that..?~

He shook it off. It was only a brief pain so it wouldn't be something serious. He pulled the covers off only to pull them back hastily.

~!!!~

He had forgotten to clean up last night, leaving his covers white from his previous actions. He blushed profusely.

~I… got to wash these covers… ugh… What time is it.. HOLY FUCK!~

He glanced over his shoulder to his alarm clock, which promptly blinked 8:10. Jumping up from bed, he ran over to his dresser, combing his tangled hair erratically.

~Shit!! I have 50 minutes to get to class!! Gyaah!~

Running out of his room, he ran into the shower quickly, whizzing past Hinata and Hanabi.

"What's his problem..?" Hanabi snarled, walking forward again.

"I-I dunno. Neji-kun always has problems…" Hinata chased after her younger cousin.

Coming out of the shower a mere 5 minutes later, Neji looked down the corridor to see if anyone was coming. Coast clear, he ran back to his room in only a towel. When he had locked the door, he let his towel drop, running to his dresser again for a clean pair of boxers. Pulling on a random pair, he ran to his closet, pulling out a pair of jeans and a black turtleneck sweater. He pulled those on in lightening time too.

Glancing at the clock, he sighed a bit, seeing as the time now read 8:20.

~I still have time… hah…~

Neji took one of the first breaths he had that morning.

At the high school, Sasuke had just closed his locker, getting his history textbook in the process. He was startled though, because when he closed the locker door, Naruto was on the other side. He smiled.

"Scared 'ya?" He grinned.

Sasuke held his book close to his side, "No, just taken by surprise. Heh, good morning, Naru." He leaned down, kissing Naruto briefly. The blonde blushed.

"Whoa, PDA all of a sudden?" He leaned against the lockers.

"Hn. Just happy." The raven smiled down at his boyfriend.

"C'mon. I don't wanna be late for class. Walk me?" the smaller winked suggestively. Sasuke frowned.

"I usually wait for Neji to get here, though.."

"But… Sasu-kun…" Naruto whined, pulling on the older's jacket, "Please?"

Sasuke thought it over. Neji would be fine on his own.. Right?

Neji arrived at school 5 minutes before the bell, and rushing to his locker, he noticed something was wrong. He glanced in the mirror of his locker, fixing himself up a bit. Quickly getting his books, he closed the door, noticing what the problem was.

~Where's Sasuke? The guy always waits for me..~

Neji narrowed his eyes and walked to his class, hair swaying in the wind. He realized where he was.

Sitting down in history, Sasuke's eyes widened when he remembered that he forgot someone very important. He sweat dropped. He was going to go back… but he didn't have time to.

~Heheh… Neji will have a fit about this…~

As the first bell rung, the teacher Maito Gai let his voice ring out thoughout the classroom.

"OK class! Lets get to today's lesson! Everybody sit down and queit!"

"Mumble.." "Groan…"

"I CAN'T HEAR YOOOOU!"

"YES, GAI-SENSEI…" The class halfheartedly said.

"OK!! NOW…" He smiled, "Lets get it on!"

"YOSH!" A kid in the front yelled.

"THAT'S THE SPIRIT, LEE!" He flashed an awfully bright smile and a thumbs up at the student. The class groaned again, even louder. All of a sudden the classroom door opened abruptly, and in came a ruffled Neji.

"S-sorry! I-I was late this morning!" He huffed, clutching his books to his chest. Gai huffed.

"Neji!" said boy flinched, "THIS IS YOUR YOUTH! Do not waste it being late for class!"

"Y-yes sir…" He said dejectedly, making his way to his seat next to Sasuke. Plopping down, he fixed his hair and opened his book to the page Gai had just yelled out. Sasuke leaned over.

"Hey there, Neji." He smiled. He had gotten a snort in return. "Oh, come on! It was just today! I promise."

Neji shut his book and glared at Sasuke with his lavender eyes. "You left me, which you never do."

"I know.. It was because I was with Naru.. I can't say no to him.." He looked sympathetically. Neji didn't buy it.

"I knew it.. So, now he's more important than your best friend?" a brown eyebrow rose incredulously. Sasuke looked back at Neji, his eyes slinking together.

"I can't believe you'd ask me that Hyuuga.." the raven whispered back.

"Well, I wanna know. Cause it seems like you're gonna spend a lot more time with him now."

"What are you, attention-starved or something? My life doesn't revolve around you." His voice rose a bit."I don't expect it to! Don't be so egotistical." he cocked his head up snootily.

"Me? Egotistical? Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately?" That earned him a glare.

"Yeah, and at least I KNOW how to brush my hair so that it DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A DUCK!" He whisper-screamed.

"Well, at least I don't get mistaken FOR A GIRL!" Sasuke did the same thing. They both growled at each other.

"Jackass!"

"Dumbass!"

"Fuck you!"

"Bitch!"

"Manwhore!"

"Dick!"

"Slut!"

"Maphy!"

Neji stopped abruptly. He just stared at Sasuke. The raven's eyes widened.

~Oh damn…~

"I didn't mean it, Ne-"

"SAVE IT!"

Sasuke sat there aback. The class had stopped due to Neji's outburst that was way to loud to be identified as a whisper.

"Is there a problem, Mr. Hyuu-"

"YES THERE IS." Neji yelled at Gai as if the teacher had done something wrong. He hid his face with his hair and you could hear his voice crack. "May I be excused please..?"

Gai's eyebrow rose, but he let Neji. "OK.. Go ahead, do what you have to do Neji. Take as much time as you need.. I guess.."

Neji rose from his seat hastily and slammed the door behind him. The entire class jumped as Gai sighed and went back to his lesson. Sasuke let his head fall to the desk.

~Oh man… I am in some DEEP shit right about now…~

Neji walked over to his locker for a bit. Nobody was in the hallway right now, on account of class, and it couldn't have been a more better time.

To break down and cry that is.

Once he closed the locker door, he leaned his back against the said lockers and sank to the floor.

~Jackass.. He KNEW VERY WELL that the conversation was supposed to be between just us.. And about half the class heard our fight there…~

His legs came up to his chest and he wrapped his hands around them. Letting his head fall into his arms, he let out a few tears.

~He knows JUST what to say to get my emotions rolling… I mean what the fuck?!~

He hit the lockers with his fist aggravated , the sound echoing through the hallway.

~Grah..! I just cant believe him!!~

"Believe who?"

Neji's head whipped up to see said raven's older brother standing in front of him. He had said that out loud?

"I-Itachi…"

"Have you been crying?" A black eyebrow rose and Itachi's hands were on his hips. Neji's eyes widened and he wiped his eyes on his shirt sleeve.

"N-No! I-I'm just frustrated…" His head returned to his arms only to raise again when he felt his sempai sit next to him.

"About what? And you were crying. Your cheeks are red." he poked the younger in the shoulder.

"About many things…" He sniffled and looked directly in Itachi's eyes. The raven blushed and looked away. "What are you doing out here anyway? Aren't you a senior?"

"Yeah, I just got bored with statistics… so I asked to go to the bathroom. Why were you crying?" He wasn't going to be swayed from what he wanted to hear.

"Ah… nothing special.. Same 'ol, same 'ol…" he waved off the older. Itachi didn't buy it.

"Don't lie, Neji." He looked at the younger. Neji sighed,

"If I tell you.." He looked away, "You cant tell Sasuke."

"I thought that was what this was about… what's up?" he brought one leg up to his chest.

"Well, I told Sasuke something last night over MySpace, right?" Itachi nodded, "He decided to yell it out in class when I specifically told him not to say anything!" He buried his face back into his arms. "He annoys me so much-…"

"You like him don't you?"

Neji's head came up so fast, that he might have had whiplash. He blushed and looked up at Itachi with widened lavender eyes. The elder smirked the Uchiha Smirk™.

"I thought so."

"But!"

"Its ok, I won't tell him. But you will have to sooner or later. Because of him and Naru, ya know… they are really inseperable." Neji looked down, obviously sad. "Besides, someone else likes you already."

Neji's eyebrows furrowed. He looked up.

"Who?"

All Itachi did was grin and Neji knew.

"Really, Itachi…? You like me?" he said unbelievingly. The older nodded once.

"Yeah, I have for a while now.. You're very pretty.. Neji.." He rubbed the back of his head. Both of them blushed, looking opposite ways.

"I-I don't… know what to say.. Itachi…"

"It's ok." He stood up, brushing off his shirt. "You don't have to say anything." he held out his hand for Neji, who graciously took it, standing up.

"No more crying over my baby brother." He poked Neji's forehead, "He's not worth it. OK?" Neji nodded rubbing his new sore.

"Yes Itachi…" he looked to his feet. Itachi started to walk away.

~Wait a damn minute! I have an idea! Thank you genius!~

"Itachi wait!" Neji screamed making said raven turned around.

"Hmm?"

"I… have an Idea." He looked up to the longhaired man who was walking back to him.

"Spill."

"Well… would you help me make Sasuke jealous?" He looked up with pleading eyes. The older looked down incredulously.

"I'm all for it.. But how?" He crossed his hands across his chest.

"Umm… one thing I don't want to do is use you, but maybe if we pretended to boyfriends..?" The younger blushed.

"I like the way you think, Hyuuga. Are you asking me out?" He smirked down at the sophomore.

"Y-yeah.." He rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, blushing, "I am.. But only for this purpose! But I don't want you to think that I think that I am giving you pity or something… 'Cause I'm not… but I just wanted to know if you want to be a part of this since he IS your little brother an' all… and I-"

"Alright then." He grabbed Neji's waist, bringing it with him as he walked, "I guess Operation: Jealous Sasuke is in play." Neji blushed profusely.

"I-Itachi! L-Lemme go..!" He squirmed. The senior chuckled. "But it's fun, Neji!" They both laughed as the bell rang. Kids were pouring out of the classes like cockroaches.

"I have to go get my stuff, Itachi.. Will I see you at lunch?" Neji asked, prying out of the older's grip.

"Sure. He has the same lunch as us, right? So we could get him good?" He grinned down. Neji nodded. "OK. See you there." He kissed Neji's forehead. "We have to make this look real, too." Itachi grinned down. Neji stood there shocked.

"O-OK." He walked back to Gai's class, leaving Itachi to go to his class.

~W-wow… Heehee… this is going to go great!!~ He did a little dance in his head as he went back to class.

Maphy is slang for Hermaphrodite.

To tell you the truth:

I WASN'T GOING TO BRING BACK NARUTO.
