(AN): Holidays is over! I finally get to update again! So how was everyone's vacation? Mine was pretty awesome. I stayed at my grandparent's house in New Jersey for almost three weeks. It was a good break from school and work, I seriously needed it.
I would like to thank the reviewers who reviewed last chapter. I realized that yes; last chapter did make me dizzy while reading it as well. I apologize for that. Anyways, here it is, chapter 14.
Chapter 14: Detective Hyuuga
The past couple of weeks had been quite the rollercoaster for Gaara and me. At times it'll be wonderful and exciting yet other times it'll be somewhat frustrating. Why you may ask? In a way were still on the down low, as in, our secret relationship is what it is, a secret. Although we are getting there, I just know it. I mean, we did get caught making out a few times by some tiny ninth graders but I doubt they would spread it around. You know how those kids are afraid of seniors.
My duties as the school council president are taking its toll on me. I never knew it takes this much dedication and hard work. Especially since the dance was coming up really soon. Tsunade decided to move the date of the dance to December because she wanted some kind of holiday themed party. I'm not really the pro party planner here, but hey, I'm trying.
Funny thing that just happened recently, I caught Sasuke secretly having chats with his so called enemy, Naruto. He gets so defensive when I ask him about it. You see, one night when I was in his house doing my homework, I just so happen to accidentally peek into his inbox. Yes ladies and gents, an accident. In there I found shit load of e-mails from Naruto. Being the snoop I am, I decided to peek inside one of the e-mails but before I could Sasuke caught me. I have a feeling there's something going on between those two so called enemies. Maybe I'll get Gaara to tell me.
It was first period and class was just about to start. Of course my little Gaara was late as usual.
"Late again Mr. Sabaku?" said Iruka while shaking his head in disappointment.
Gaara took a seat right next to me. "Sorry sensei."
"Just don't do it again." He said, he sounded like a broken record because he seems to be telling this to Gaara at least 3 times a week.
"I think Iruka will explode if you are late one more time." I whispered to my boyfriend who was now slouching on his seat attempting to take notes.
"That will be interesting won't it?" he smirked, not leaving his eyes from board. I rolled my eyes and started taking notes myself.
Almost at the end of class, I decided to pass a note to the sexy red head.
Do you know anything going on between Naruto and Sasuke? I wrote
I threw the piece of paper at Gaara hitting him on the face accidentally. He looked surprised for a second as I interrupted his daydreaming. I tried to suppress my giggles.
Gaara opened the note, read it, and began writing something on it. I was staring at him the whole time, I swear, I'm becoming a real love sick puppy.
"Mr. Hyuuga, stop starring at Gaara and avert your eyes to the board instead. I know he is a handsome young man but you need to pass this semester." Iruka said as he began to write more things on the board. Snickers could be heard around the class. Iruka sure loved to embarrass people.
About a minute or two a folded piece of paper landed on my desk.
Maybe I do, but it's not any of our concern. Oh, it's not nice hitting people on the head. I think I will punish you later love.
My face turned instantly red. Was it getting hot in the room or was it just me? I began to reply to the note.
Punish me huh? How, where, when, and why? Haha, just kidding. Seriously though, c'mon, tell me. Or else, I'll spy on them and I'll take you with me.
I threw the piece of paper towards Gaara and made sure not to aim at his head. He read it and threw it back at me.
How? Any way I want. Where? Where eyes can't see us. When? Whenever I feel like it. Why? Because you are mine and I can.
But I think we should leave the two alone. They probably need privacy.
The bell rang and students began to pile up at the door either trying to get out or in.
"Aha! So there is something going on between them." I told Gaara. He just looked at me and rolled his eyes. His beautiful green eyes.
"You have no proof." He told me as we started walking towards the east side of school.
I smirked, "Not right now I don't, later I will."
"You're not a detective."
"I'm not huh? Yes I am. I'm detective Neji."
"Oh really?" he said looking at me with those eyes.
Gaara started looking around as if to check if the coast was clear. Smiling he grabbed my arm and dragged me to the nearest janitors closet. I of course didn't fight back but just simply began to get butterflies.
Locking the door, Gaara slammed me on the wall and began to kiss my neck rather roughly. He grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled my head back exposing more of my neck. A moan escaped my mouth as a felt licking and nibbling.
"A bit rough today are we?" I managed to get out as thin silky lips covered my own.
Gaara began to suckle on my bottom lip his hands now roaming underneath my shirt. I opened my mouth slightly to let Gaara's tongue enter.
I wrapped my arms around Gaara's neck holding on to him like I didn't want him to escape. Our tongues were now fighting for dominance as things started to heat up. Gaara roughly pinched one of my erect nipples and I let out a loud moan.
"Gaara… we're going to… to be late…" I forced my self to say.
Gaara pulled away from me and smirked. He cupped my face and softly kissed my now swollen lips. "Okay."
Gaara left the janitors closet first, leaving me in there panting and catching my breath. Gaara's sweet scent now attached to my body. It smelled like strawberries. Although the scent will fade away in a couple of seconds, I secretly wished I would have it throughout the day.
Straightening my clothes and fixing my tangled hair, I stepped out of the closet.
I nearly jumped when someone from behind say "What were you doing in there?" I turned around and felt relieved when I saw my best friend and Shikamaru standing there with a look of suspicion on their faces.
"Looking for a broom?" I grinned.
"Sure and Gaara walking out of the same closet a minute ago wasn't related to it right?" Shikamaru said looking bored as usual. Eventually Shikamaru found out about our secret relationship. He's creepy like that; no one can ever hide a secret from the man. When I asked him how he found out he just simply replied, 'I can tell, I'm not stupid.' Anyways, he promised not to say a word. Well, more like 'It's too troublesome'.
The three of us started walking to our next class when I realized "Hey isn't Iruka your next class? Why are you walking this way?"
"I have to do something for football, Iruka already knows." Said Sasuke.
Shrugging it off, I decided to ask more questions. "So, anything going on lately?" I said trying to act normal.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I don't know, life, school, and love?"
"Nothing special yet."
"Interesting. So, how are things with you and Naruto." I asked
"That creepy blonde kid?" asked Shikamaru.
Sasuke looked at Shikamaru then sent me a threatening gaze. "Fine."
"Just fine?"
"Lay off it Hyuuga."
"Geez Sasuke I'm just asking, no need to be so sensitive about it." Now I'm for sure something is going on and I'm going to get to the bottom of it. How dare he not tell me what's going on. Me, his best friend in the entire universe.
"I'll see you fucks later." Shikamaru said as he walked in his calculus class, muttering something about 'how troublesome' under his breath.
"Later Neji." He said and quickly making his way to the locker room.
I was waiting at the usual spot where I wait for Sasuke, when I realized Sasuke was fifteen minutes late. Glancing at my watch, I began to lose my patient. I really wanted to go home and take a seriously long nap and Sasuke drove today. I was for sure knew I wasn't going to walk home today.
I spotted Gaara walking towards me.
"Have you seen Naruto? He's supposed to meet up with me." Gaara told me.
"Nope. I haven't seen Sasuke either."
"Oh wait, never mind…"
"What do you mean never mind? You know something?" I asked my green eyed beauty.
Crossing his arms he pouted "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Spill it red head, where are the two?" I said walking closer.
"Red head?" he smirked. "I still don't know what you are talking about."
I guess it came to this, where I have to use my ultimate weapon. Walking up to Gaara and doing my best puppy dog eyes expression, I wrapped my arms around his neck and nuzzled my head against it. "Please?"
There was silence. I started playfully tracing circles on my boyfriend's chest. "Pretty please?"
A hand started to caress my back. "You're horrible" he sighed and said "Football field…"
With that said I quickly released my hold on Gaara and kissed him playfully on the nose. "Thanks! Now, c'mon lets go." I said grabbing his thin wrists and dragging him to the football field.
When we got there, it looked empty. "Are you sure he's here?" I asked.
"That's what he told me."
"Let's have a look around." I said, holding Gaara's hand and intertwining out fingers as I spoke. Causing Gaara to turn a slight pinkish color.
We started walking together looking for our friends. We've looked under the bleachers, where the concession stands were, but they were no where to be found. Until we got closer to where the benches were near the locker room. I spotted the two sitting down looking pretty upset. They weren't arguing or anything, just upset. Naruto was gently patting Sasuke on the back with worry on his face. Sasuke looked like on a verge of bawling.
"What the hell is going on?" I whispered to Gaara.
Sighing, "Let's leave them alone." Gaara suggested.
"Sasuke looks like something is bothering him, I'm his best friend, I have to find out." I said dragging him behind me again, this time with more precaution. "Lets get closer so I can hear."
The more I got closer, the more I could hear their quite voices.
"I'm glad you can talk to me about this." Naruto said, continuing to gently pat Sasuke's back. "I never knew…"
"I don't think I could ever talk to Neji like this, thanks Naruto." said Sasuke. I was a bit confused.
"Letting me listen about what happened to your parents is a big step in the healing process I suppose." The blonde smiled.
My ears started getting red and my face started to heat up. Not because I was embarrassed or whatever, but because I was getting pissed off. The death of Sasuke's parents was an off limits subject for us to talk about. The only thing I knew was they were in an accident, supposedly a car accident. The rest was 'non of my business'. But he's here with his so called enemy pouring his feelings out about the subject.
"I don't think Neji would ever understand." He mentioned.
What?! Never understand? At time when Sasuke would go into one of his emotional days I would be there ready to talk. I knew for a fact it was because of his parents. But he didn't want to ever bring it up and I was there ready to talk about it and make him feel better.
So I've been replaced huh. Best friend my ass.
"Let's go." I said with a little bit of jealousy.
"I told you." Gaara sighed.
As we turned around getting reading to walk out, I accidentally kicked a empty soda can. Of course.
"Who's there?" I heard the blonde yell.
Crap. Without thinking, I pushed Gaara against the wall and started kissing him. Gaara was a bit shocked and confused at the sudden actions but he gave in to it.
"Woah, my eyes!" Naruto said in disgust covering his eyes. Sasuke just right behind him.
I pulled away from the red head. "Oh, hey guys, I didn't know you will be here. I was just here with Gaara having some alone time." Gaara looked away shaking his head.
"Yeah, sure." Sasuke smirked.
"What are you smirking about?" I glared at him.
"Why does it seem like you are pissed." The raven asked.
I began to turn red again. "Pissed? I don't know what the hell you are talking about."
"I should know Neji, I'm your best friend, I know things." He said.
"Is that so? Best friends huh? Are you sure about that?" I eyed him. He was silent and his face began to show no expression.
"You heard, didn't you?"
"No."
"Don't lie."
A feeling of jealousy came over me once again. "So what if I heard? You have your best friend there to make it all better anyways." I said glaring at Naruto who gulped and looked at Gaara. "Oh, just to let you know, I didn't hear all of it, just the last part about how you were glad you didn't tell me."
"I never said I never wanted to tell you."
"Whatever, something of that sort." I said fuming. "I've always been here ready to talk about things but you always backed out. I knew the subject bothered you until now but you never want to talk. But I over hear you talking about it with someone you barely know. Of course I'll get pissed."
"I wasn't ready to talk about it with you. Knowing you, you will probably freak out. I wanted to tell Naruto because I found out something."
"What? That he's madly in love with you?" I said angrily. Naruto's face turned pale.
"No you idiot. His parents and my parents were best friends when they were younger. It was easier for me to talk to him about it first because we kind of had similar experiences. I was eventually going to tell you, but not right now. Plus, I already knew he was madly in love with me." He smirked at the blonde. Naruto was just about ready to faint.
"I see." I said, feeling a bit guilty but still angry.
"Both of our parents died, in a similar way." He lastly stated.
"Car accident?" I asked.
Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other. "Yeah… car accident."
"I see." I said again.
"You really are one jealous bastard aren't you?" Sasuke joked.
I glared at the raven haired boy and punched him on the shoulder. "Shutup."
"Gaara why did you tell where we were?" Naruto asked.
Gaara crossed his arms and said "He forced me to, he said if I didn't tell him that he would do very bad things to be in bed." He smirked.
"Lies!" I quickly said.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Naruto said pretending to gag.
"I'm right there with you." Exclaimed Sasuke. "So are we okay now? No more spying?"
"For your information, I wasn't spying. I was just… curious. And yes we are okay now."
"Good. Now, who wants to come over to my house and play some video games?" Sasuke asked us.
Everyone agreed to go, even Gaara.
"So much for that nap I was looking forward to having." I whispered to Gaara.
He smiled and kissed me on my temple as we all walked to Sasuke's car.
"So, how are things with you and Naruto?" I winked at Sasuke.
Sasuke blushed a little and suddenly held Naruto's hand. "Fine." The blonde turned red as a tomato and everyone started laughing. I was for sure going to get the juicy detains from Sasuke later on.
(AN): There you go, that's chapter 14 randomness for you. So finally everyone is a couple. Phew. The truth about Sasuke and Naruto's parents deaths will be revealed in the future chapters. Thanks for reading everyone! Read and review please.
