Chapter: The real Sai

My head was throbbing and everything was black. The ache that was coming from my stomach made me have an urge to hurl. I can hear whispers all around me. Then it suddenly hit me, I had been knocked out. I had totally forgotten until that feeling of throwing up came over me. Where Sai obviously kicked the shit out of me.

"Neji, are you okay?"

"Oh my god, he's dead!"

"He's not dead! He's breathing you idiot."

I felt something shaking my shoulder. "C'mon Neji wake up." It said. I realized I was lying sideways.

"He's moving guys!"

Even though the sharp sting on the back of my head was literally impaling my vision, I managed to open my eyes slowly. Everything was a blur for the first few seconds.

As the seconds passed, I began to make out some heads staring down at me. I glared at everyone trying to make out who they were, since the room was spinning a bit.

"Where am I?" I asked in a raspy voice. The room that I was in was all white and looked very sterile. It had that distinctive hospital smell.

"Oh my god, he has amnesia!"

"No he doesn't dobe."

"Hi. My. Name. Is. Naruto. Do. You. Know. Who. You. Are?"

"Yes Naruto, I know who I am." I said as I sat up on my bed, rubbing my forehead.

Sasuke smacked Naruto. "Hey what was that for?"

"For asking such a stupid question.," he replied.

I glided my hands around my fingers to the back of my head where the stinging was coming from. I felt material covering it. I then touched a tender part of the band-aid and I winced in pain.

"Uh, I don't think it's a good idea to touch the stitches." Sasuke warned me. "How are you feeling?"

"Still a bit dizzy, but I'm okay I guess."

"Yeah, you took quite a bump earlier." he smirked. I looked at my friend and noticed his swollen lip. It had a few stitches and a little bit of dried up blood on his chin. Sasuke noticed me staring and quickly covered it with his hand.

"So I'm guessing I'm in the hospital. How long was I out anyways."

"You were out for almost five hours I think." said Ino, who was hiding behind Sasuke. She looked worried. "You hungry babe?"

"The last thing I want to think about is food, but thanks for offering." I said giving her a weak smile.

I looked around the room at the people who were in the room. Naruto, Ino, and Sasuke were standing on my right. Hinata was on my left, she smiled at me when I saw her. Kiba was sitting on the chair next to the door, he waved when he noticed me looking.

"If you're wondering where the rest are, they left already.," said Kiba.

"Oh."

"Yeah we were all really worried about you. We wouldn't think that hit would knock you out."

"Yeah, me too." I said.

"Well good thing Gaara was there before he could have done more damage."

I paused, I totally forgot about Gaara. "Umm, where is he anyways?" I asked.

Ino gave a look of jealousy. "Oh, the freak who came and saved you? He's outside the room." Ino said, almost disgusted.

"Shutup you whore! He's not a freak!" yelled Naruto. Sasuke had to hold him back.

"For fucks sake, can we stop fighting? I think we've had enough of that today." Kiba rolled his eyes and stepped out of the room. "I'm getting a drink, be right back."

I still had to wonder, "So what happened anyways? You know, when Naruto was holding you back from Sai."

Sasuke looked at Naruto who was now pink in the face and looking down at his shoes. "Well… uhh… you see…" he looked at Hinata who got the clue.

"O-oh, Ino, l-lets step out a bit and get Neji some food. C'mon."

"I thought he wasn't hungry though."

"Well, he changed his m-mind."

"But…" The two ladies disappeared out of the room, with Hinata dragging Ino behind. Leaving me, Naruto and Sasuke in the room.

"So?"

"So what?"

"What do you mean so what? So what happened?"

Naruto gave out a long sigh before he started. "Sai ragged me out of the lunch court… he told me he needed to tell me something very important. It didn't feel right though because he was being forceful. His eyes looked cold and his smile was more like a pervish smirk." The blonde looked like he wanted to cry. "When we got to the halls, I asked him what he wanted to tell me. Instead, he roughly shoved me in the janitor's closet. I demanded to know what he was doing. All he told me was to 'unzip my pants'." Naruto sniffled. Sasuke patted the blondes back. Sasuke was comforting Naruto? This has to be interesting. "That's when I freaked out and tried to get out, but he wouldn't let me. I kept trying and trying, I guess he got annoyed and punched my face." The blonde was crying now. "I fell… and he got on top of me. He unzipped me… I called for help… but he covered my mouth. He told me that no one would help a pathetic being like me. That's when Sasuke opened the door."

"I heard soft cries when I was walking back to the lunchroom. I was going to ask you if I could borrow your history book. Anyways, I head a faint 'help' coming from the janitor's closet." Sasuke balled his hands into fists. "It was locked but I managed to bust it open, that's when o saw Sai trying to rape Naruto…" his voice trailed off. He looked out the window. It was now dawn.

"Why didn't you let me kill him Naruto?" he suddenly yelled. Both Naruto and I were taken aback at the sudden outburst.

"Exactly the reason why I was holding you back teme." Naruto replied.

That's when we all suddenly heard the door open. We turned out heads towards it and saw a figure coming closer.

"Are you alright now?" The voice said. Getting a better view, I noticed it was Gaara.

"Yeah, I'm better. My head still hurts but I can live." I smiled. "Thanks for saving me by the way."

Gaara walked a little closer. "Well, what is one suppose to do when one is getting their ass kicked." he joked.

"But I am really glad you are okay." he reached out and started to caress my arm. My stomach started acting up again, and no, it wasn't because I wanted to barf.

"So umm, where is Sai now?" I had to ask.

"He's actually a couple rooms down. Red head here really knocked him out." Sasuke chuckled. "Anyways, he's expelled from school. He's not allowed to come back. He's transferring to the other nearby high school. Damnit, I knew that fucker was trouble when I first saw him."

Naruto bit his lip and blushed.

Sasuke continued. "Oh yeah, you, Gaara, Naruto, and I are all suspended until Thursday."

"What!" I yelled.

"Yeah, it's pretty fucked up. They said something about getting involved or something. Don't worry though, this won't affect your president status. Tsunade said to think about this as a mini vacation to cool our head's off."

I shook my head, uncle is going to kill me for this.

"Hey Neji, listen, I have to go now… Itachi is waiting for me outside. I'll see you soon." Sasuke was just about to turn the doorknob when, "Wait!" cried the blonde pouting. "Do you think you can give me a ride home? Pretty please?"

Sasuke thought for a minute. "Fine…" he mumbled. The blonde cheered with excitement. "Hey maybe Gaara needs a ride too." I said turning to the redhead.

"Oh its okay, my brother is on his way to pick me up."

"Alright, are you sure."

"Yeah don't worry about it."

"Suit yourself, I'll see you tomorrow Gaara. I'll go to your house if the parental unit doesn't ground me." said Naruto as he waved goodbye.

"Dobe, why would he ground you if you were the one getting molested." said Sasuke. Naruto scratched his head and shrugged. They soon left the room after that.

Thus leaving the redhead behind. There was an awkward silence. Gaara slowly walked over to the bed. "I'm sorry." he whispered, bowing his head down.

A bit confused, I said "Huh? You don't need to be sorry about anything Gaara. AS a mater of fact, I should be the one thanking you. If it wasn't for you, I would have thrown up my intestines." I chuckled, Gaara had on a serious face.

"But if I came sooner, you wouldn't be hurt at all."

Wow, he really did worry about me. It felt somewhat nice having someone other than Sasuke and my family care about me that much. I thought for a second, there was still something bothering me since we left the campsite.

"Hey Gaara?"

"Hmm?"

"I've been meaning to ask you. Umm, during the fieldtrip with Iruka… you mentioned something about 'they'."

Gaara didn't speak for a couple of seconds, he just kept looking out the window as if it was something interesting. "Oh, well… that… you see…" but before he had a chance to continue, a faint, unfamiliar sound could be heard. It was Gaara's cell phone.

"Just a second." he told me.

He looked at his caller I.D. and answered. "Hello?… oh… yeah, ok… thanks Kankuro." and he hung up.

"Neji, my brother is here."

"Oh, I guess I'll be seeing you at school then."

"Yeah, I guess so. Bye." he reached the door but turned back around and walked to me and unexpectedly gave me a light hug. "I'm really glad you're okay." he said quietly, almost in a whisper.

I just sat on my bed dumbfounded. In that second he let go, he was out of the door. This was weird. So what happened to the 'pretend the trip didn't happen' thing.

Almost in queue, Kiba, Hinata, and Ino walked in.

"Baby, you look so happy! Is it because I've bought you all these yummy food?" Ino said lifting up a bag of food.

"Huh, oh, sure." I told her. I lied.

((Gaara - POV))

Hands in my pocket, I grinned the whole way out of the hospital. Before reaching the exit, I passed by Ino and the group. I made sure I didn't make eye contact with the blonde because she would just end up giving me dirty looks. I did smile at Hinata though.

"What's he so happy about?" I heard Ino said as I passed by.

Why am I so happy Ino? I'll tell you why. Maybe I just hugged the most popular guy in school. I missed his hug ever since the camping trip and I just had to do it.

As I exited the automatic double doors of Kanoha Mercy Hospital, my smile soon faded and replaced by a grimace.

Out in the distance, getting out of the red sports convertible, were two of Satan's minions. Kenta and Lenlen. What the hell are those two assholes doing here.

Oh great, just look at that… just my luck, Kankuro is parked right next to them. Ugh, stupid Kankuro.

They started walking towards the entrance laughing about something. I tried to casually walk towards my brother's car trying to not get noticed, but having bright red hair didn't really help me out that much.

And soon enough, they noticed me.

"Hey freak!" the girl said, giving me a wicked smile reminding me of an ugly witch.

I just kept walking and ignored her.

"Hey faggot! The lady was talking to you, have some decency."

I stopped in my tracks and turned around "What the fuck do you two want?" I said, both giving them a death glare.

Kenta smirked. "Just remember what we told you bud." he laughed.

"C'mon Lenlen lets go." They laughed even harder, giving me quick glances.

"We'll see about that…" I whispered.

Little did they know, they weren't the only ones laughing. I was laughing inside when I thought of all the shit I'll be doing to them later on.

Walking towards Kankuro's beat up car, I focused my gaze on the little red sports car. Grinning, I took out a set of my house keys and glided the metal on the perfect paintjob. Giving it extra pressure so that it truly left a nasty permanent mark. The scrapping and scratching sounds were music to my ears and I couldn't help but smile.

"Holy shit! What the hell are you doing Gaara?" Kankuro said flailing his arms around trying to stop me.

"None of your business." I told him. "Let's go home"
