WARNING: Neji POV, YAOI, a little bit of OOC, Cursing

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto in any way.

(AN) OMG! I finally updated this sucker! It's been sitting here with a pile of dust. I had to reread some chapters because I totally forgot some parts of the story. Anyways, like BCB13 I already have an ending for this story in mind. It'll be great! I hope you enjoy this chapter. It isn't long but yeah.

Chapter 17: Things never go right

"Sasuke, do you still want me to pick you up for school later?"

The sound of ruffling clothes could be heard in the background. "Sorry Neji. I'm going to have to drive today. I promised Naruto to pick him up since his car isn't working. I'll just get a ride from you tomorrow okay?"

"That's fine. I'll just ask Gaara if he wants a ride then."

"On you or your car?" Sasuke laughed on the other line.

I almost choked on the orange juice I was currently trying to down, "You have a dirty mind you know that?"

"Yeah, whatever. I'll see you later."

I hung up on Sasuke and went over to my wardrobe and had a mind battle within myself what to wear today. It was Friday and to me Fridays deserve a good looking ensemble. White? No… blue should be good. Oh fuck it I'll wear black. I pulled out a pair of black trousers and a gray cotton tee with a cool looking design on the bottom right corner. I walked over to my bed and dumped the clothes on it then headed to the desk where my phone was currently at.

I flipped open the device and dialed the number I had memorized in my head already.

Ring… ring…

"Hello, Sabaku residence. This is Temari." A voice said on the other line, trying to sound sweet. Too sweet actually.

I cleared my throat, "Hello, this is Neji. Is Gaara there?"

I heard a muffled squeal on the other line, "Ohhhh, the Neji huh?" More giggles.

"Umm yeah."

"Okay, I'll get my brother for you. Hold on….. GAAARRAAA your boyfriend is on the phone for you!" She yelled; failing to cover the mouth piece.

"I swear, you and Kankuro are snooping idiots." I heard Gaara yell on the other line. "Give me that." He commanded her. I could almost picture his face putting on that threatening gaze.

"Hey Neji, what's up?" His voice became calm.

I smiled hearing that familiar voice. "I was wondering if you would like me to pick you up this morning for school."

There was a pause for a couple of seconds. "Hello?" I asked.

"Sorry. Um, sure I guess so. I'll just tell Temari that I don't need a ride this morning."

"Great. I'll be there in fifteen minutes. I'm just about ready to head out."

"See you."

I walked up the familiar looking driveway and saw the same old useless truck they have parked on the grass. I wondered when they would get rid of that piece of crap. It was literally an eyesore to the neighbors if they were to pass the house. I shook my head and rang the doorbell.

I waited for a minute before I heard footsteps heading for the door. It opened and Gaara came into view. He looked at me up and down making me feel almost self-cautious for almost a second. My hands unconsciously tried to fix that invisible wrinkle on my shirt.

He looked up at me and smirked. "You look good today."

I sighed in relief, "Thanks you too." I told him as I too checked him up and down. The other just blushed.

He turned around, "Temari! I'm leaving now!" he yelled but before we could start heading for the car we heard rapid footsteps coming our way from within the house. A moment later Temari came huffing and puffing holding out a folded piece of paper. Gaara and I just looked at each other as we waited for the girl to catch her breath. There was no question as to why Shika was so interested in this girl. She had a banging body with a cute face to match. Her hair was a perfect blonde. I hate to admit it but it was better than Ino's shade. All this girl had on was a bathrobe.

"Can you…" she huffed, "… take this to Shikamaru for me?"

She looked at Gaara. "You better not look at it either Gaara or I'll make you regret it." She gave him a look that Gaara used all the time. I guess it runs in the family.

I took the piece of paper from her, "I'll take it to him. Don't worry; we won't look at it I promise." I raised a hand indicating to her that it was my scouts honor.

She smirked, "Thanks pretty boy. Anyways, drive carefully. I don't want you injuring my baby brother here." Temari reached and patted Gaara on the head.

"Temari! Seriously…" he sighed. She laughed waved goodbye to the both of us as we headed for my car.

The car ride was fine. We mostly talked about what we should do over the weekend. All we came up with really was hanging out at each other's houses. I've never been to Naruto's house so it'll be good to hang out there. I'm sure Sasuke will be squealing with joy.

"Are you okay with people seeing us getting out of my car together?" I asked him. I wanted to make sure he was comfortable with this.

Gaara smiled, "It's fine. They'll probably think you felt sorry for me and decided to pick me up while you were driving to here."

"I highly doubt that." I leaned over and gave him a peck on the lips before we headed out to the battle field called the student parking lot. From the side of my eyes I could see Gaara trying to scan the area. I wasn't sure if it was for people who happen to see or to help me find a damn parking spot. I rolled my eyes and decided that I should have asked Sebastian to drive us instead. I suddenly felt lazy.

I finally found a good spot near the football fields. As I parked I saw my best friend pull up to an empty spot a couple of yards from Gaara and I. He was alone.

"Neji, I'm heading to History early. I have to talk to Sensei about the project that's due on Monday. I'll see you at class okay?"

"Sure."

Gaara smiled and waved goodbye to me. I would have rather gotten a kiss. Whatever, I thought. I walked up to Sasuke and he immediately saw me heading his way. "Good morning." He said as he got out of his car.

"Morning." I replied back. "Oh yeah, I thought you were suppose to pick up Naruto earlier. It doesn't look like he's here."

Sasuke scratched his head and looked down, "Well I did pick him up. I just dropped him off the back of the building."

"That's very romantic of you Sasuke." I said sarcastically.

"Will you please just shut it? I don't want to talk about it and ruin my morning." He kicked a pebble and started walking off to his class. I rolled my eyes and ran up to catch him.

"Hey Gaara, wait up!" Naruto yelled from around the corner. It was passing period and the student body was making its way to their fourth period class. Upon reaching the red head, Naruto slung an arm around his shoulder. "So what is my little red ball of fury doing after school today? Do you want to go to the arcades later?"

"I can't today. I have to go to that one place."

Naruto looked confused, "Eh? What place Gaara?"

Gaara glared at the blonde, "The place I always go to idiot."

"Wait… oh, ohhhh! That place. I see."

"Yeah, so just in case Neji decides to look for me after school, just tell him that I had to go home. Urgently. Got it?"

Naruto saluted his best friend, "Yes, sir!" He laughed and nudged Gaara gently on the shoulder. "I'll see you at lunch then." He smiled as wide as he could and try to show his friend that he was happy as he can ever be. Although deep down inside something about Gaara was pricking the blondes heart. Gaara weakly smiled back and headed for his next period, leaving the other to pout behind his back.

Naruto was sitting in his fourth period class and was about to doze off to slumber land when a folded piece of paper hit him on the nose. Surprised, the young blonde stood up quickly raising a hand in the air, "The answer is twenty four, Sensei!" Laughter erupted in the classroom.

"I see that you are nowhere near paying attention today Mr. Uzumaki. One more time I catch you snoozing in my class then I'm surely going to talk to you father about your behavior." The teacher turned back around and continued with his lesson. Naruto then glared at everyone in the class who was currently pretending to pay attention to what the teacher had to say. He could still see people trying to hold in a laugh.

"Bastards." He mumbled to himself. As he sat down, he noticed a piece of paper lying on his desk. He looked around just in case someone was looking at him and then proceeded to cautiously open the note.

I need to talk to you about something important concerning Sasuke. If you care about him then you will meet me after school around five-ish.

-Kenta

Naruto eyed the paper suspiciously and wrote back.

Why would I believe a bastard like you?

He threw the piece of paper at the back of Kenta's head. He tried to add a little bit of extra force into it. Kenta jumped at the unsuspecting trash that shot at his head. He wanted to glare at the blonde because he knew it was him but stopped himself because it would ruin his plan. He casually picked up the paper that fell on the ground and made sure the teacher wasn't looking before he opened it. He wrote back.

It's something Sasuke has been keeping from you. Trust me, I don't like you one bit but I'm a sucker for exposing dirty little secrets. C'mon, I know you're just bouncing with curiosity. Am I right? Oh, I need you to come alone. I don't want people seeing me associating with you.

Naruto rolled his eyes and replied back.

Fine

It was after school and Naruto was waiting in the parking lot like he was told. He looked at his watch and noted it was five minutes until five. It took him a while to convince Sasuke that he didn't need to wait for him. He had told his boyfriend that he had to do some last minute tutoring after school. Sasuke said he would wait for him so he didn't have to walk home but Naruto told him he needed the exercise anyways and it'll be good for his health. He hated lying to Sasuke but Kenta was right, he was extremely curious. I can't believe I'm doing this he thought to himself.

Naruto looked at his watch again. It was five and as if right on queue Kenta waved at Naruto from afar. Naruto cocked an eyebrow and waved back. Kenta was making his way towards Naruto at a slow pace. He was also scanning the parking lot for what Naruto was guessing, people. Am I really that ugly? He thought. Naruto crossed his arms and started tapping his foot as he kept looking at how stupid Kenta was looking right now. Just then the other stopped his slow paced walking and smirked. He was still too far away for Naruto to have a talk with and the blonde wondered why he just suddenly stopped so far.

Just then a car came screeching towards Naruto and came to a halt right beside him. Naruto started to panic and looked at the direction Kenta was at. The bastard was gone! Wait… no, the bastard was running away laughing. The blonde was about to bolt as well until two men twice his size grabbed him from behind and dragged him into the car.

"What the fuck is going on?" Naruto yelled as he struggled against the strong grip of the two unfamiliar men.

"So we meet again huh?" Came the voice of someone too familiar.

Naruto couldn't mistake that voice from anywhere. He looked to his side and he was right, "Sai… you bastard! What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"I just wanted a chat with you Naruto. Is it a crime to want and have a civilized conversation with an ex?"

"Yeah and kidnapping me will make it easier right?" he spat.

Sai smirked and reached over to stroke the side of Naruto's face. The blonde struggled to keep Sai's hands off of his face but it was pretty difficult when two wrestler like beings was holding you back.

"Don't touch me!"

"Aww, but you used to like it. Didn't you Naruto?"

"Shutup Sai."

The enemy laughed and started to caress the chest of the other. He leaned forward and whispered, "I have a little going away gift for you." Sai then started kissing Naruto. The poor blonde was trying his best to keep the other from doing so but was failing miserably. His ex then started kissing his cheek then started going lower. He began to kiss his neck right behind the ear. It was Naruto's weak spot.

"Stop Sai!"

Sai ignored him and went lower. He was now kissing the area of Naruto's neck near the collar bone. Sai smirked before he decided to leave him a gift. He started sucking as hard as he could on Naruto's neck. Poor Naruto was on the verge of tears and trying to thrash his way out of the two men's grip. Naruto could feel warm blood trickling out of the bruise as Sai licked the red liquid with his tongue.

"Try and explain where you got this from your boyfriend, my little Naru chan." Sai whispered into Naruto's ear.

Before Naruto could say a single word, Sai's two bodyguard companions threw Naruto out of the car. They sped off just as Naruto stumbled on the cold ground of the school parking lot.

The victim just sat there as tears welled up in his eyes. He wondered why everyone in the whole world was against him. He unconsciously reached up at his wound and winced. Naruto looked at his hands and saw his fingers coated in a little bit of blood. He felt dirty. He just wanted to go home and take a shower. Naruto wiped the tears off his cheeks and looked around one more time around the parking lot. As he guessed, it was abandoned.

(AN) Dang, Kenta is an evil biatch isn't he? Please Read and review folks!
