Read on and review
long strands of saliva fell from the open mouths on Deidara's hands, sliding in slow droplets down Gaara's neck.
All he could hear was a sort of dry rasping. He wondered were the sound was coming from for a good few seconds, until realising it was coming from him. His attempts at breathing dramatically audable, although no air was reaching his lungs.
his arm twitched, The Damage from earlier must have been extensive. He couldn't feel his body.
"die bitch" the Blonde cried.
Gaara didn't think it was possible that his throat could be compressed anymore, but evidently the missing nin had been holding back somewhat. Could you crush your neck? he wondered as his senses died out, ebbing away till he had to fight to see a slither of the room.
He was violently brought back, the hand rapped around his neck had been ripped of. just the ghost of sharp fingernails left, He embraced this goldon opportunity, gasping huge pain filled lungfulls of air as quick as he could.
Pushing himself up he almost collapsed again at the shock of seeing Naruto.
he gazed dispondently, pictures making sense again. crunching was heard. Narutos knuckles crashed against the intruders head before pulling back and striking again. Gaara slipped forward, trying to right himself with his useless arms.
The Akatsuki nin staggered, sliding into a fighting stance although was lickely only acting on instict after all thoose hits to his brain. Their jaw was also visibly broken or at least dislocated, it was jutting out unnaturally, each punch to it after must have been excrutiating.
Narutos fist swung again to break Deidaras nose, blood rained down, Deidara let out a yelp, sliding back his eyes darting around for something. Naruto was aware that the nin was less then a direct threat now and could be detained, but he just couldn't stop.
Deidara pushed something out of one of his hands a sort of clay dinosaur, red chakra poured out of Naruto smashing the figure and bareeling into Deidara, smashing him against the wall. Seeing the man so helpless, caused sadistic glee to run up narutos spine, sensing he was losing control and disturbed at the enjoyment he was getting, Naruto expelled the remaing red chakra, shoving the fox to the back of his mind.
The missing nin pushed out his hand weakly, at some attempt to defend himself or fight back, Naruto snatched the hand pulling it to extension before quickly turning it back the wrong way, there was a sickining crack. all he could see was Garra being strangled to death.
Gaara was coming back into clear counciousness now, an open window revealed sand and with a deepply ingrained instinct Gaara pulled the sand, covering the nins head "sand coffin" he cried clutching his fist. Blood rained from the sand. The rest of the body dropping to its knees and then collapsed onto the floor.
Gaara gasped more air still trying to regulate his breathing. Hands grasped the sides of his face pulling him forward, pain flared but he was trapped in the blue eyes, the right blue eyes. Their foreheads touched. They could feel each others breath, hands touched his neck, he flinched, Narutos eyes flicked downwards "the fucker bruised you" Naruto snarled, his fingers caressed the delicate skin, witch had turned a alarming purple, bordering on black colour. Narutos eyes bled red, somebody had marked Gaara, leaning down he kissed the bruise, the sudden urge to claim coming forward, his teeth itching to replace the marks. Seems like he was finally experiencing some side effects of having a fox trapped inside him. Gaara shuddered was it normal to be so turned on so that soon after being dead. Naruto moved upwards and their eyes met again. God never in Naruto's lifetime would he get tired of seeing Gaara's teal eyes. They moved forward both watching the other for signs of hesitation their lips brushed.
"Ohh" a nurse squealed they ripped apart.
Turning, he came back to earth while realising what a weird picture they made. Dead headless man, blood everywhere, he wasn't sure if she caught the kiss, but judging by the way her eyes were locked on the decapitated man it was unlikely, he relaxed.
"what happened here" she asked visibly shaken. Naruto realised she was looking at him with-fear? great, how was he suppost to explain this.
"Thats a S-clan missing nin, he was trying to kill Gaara" Naruto explained
"oh- well i'll be right back with some jounins" she said running, he wasn't sure if she believed him or was terrified of him still, but either way the guy was dead. He turned back to Gaara, who had fallen to lie back down again his expression blank. He opened his mouth to talk but realised he had nothing to say and just sighed instead. They waited in silence until three jounins turned up, he recognised one from earlier, he seemed friendly with both Kankuro and Temari.
"Gaara" the jounin cried walking forward
"Baki" Gaara greeted a hint of a smile appearing, the other two weren't as friendly glaring very openly at Gaara
"thank you for staying with him but visiting hours ended over four hours ago" the nurse said while cheeking Gaaras monitors, Naruto looked at Gaara, Gaara met his gaze
"I should go," he said, Gaara blinked, Naruto shook his head, trying to get out of his thoughts "look after him" he said addressing Baki, Gaara seemed to trust him, but most of all he just needed to get out of there.
"of course" Baki said looking sincere

It hadn't taken Naruto as long as he had thought it would to find the Kazekage's mansion. It was easily the biggest building around, its grand pillers visible even from the other side of Suna, Swamped only by Sunas own guarding walls. Walking up the stairs he felt a bit like a imposter even in his dazed state.
"And were have you been" Kakashi said mysteriously waiting in the entrance way, Naruto sighed mentally begging Kakashi would leave him the fuck alone.
"The blonde acatsuki member was back, I found him in Gaaras room strangling Gaara" Naruto said slipping of his sandals
"and were is this acatsuki member now?" Kakashi asked
"dead" he said turning to Kakashi
"are you sure? We did think that before" Kakashi replied
"I don't think many people can live without a head" Naruto said coldly
"well, its done" Kakashi said "everyone else is in their rooms, your room and Neji's is straight infront of the stairs, get some sleep and we'll talk in the mourning"
Naruto knodded turning and walking to the stairs, he was only just realising how hard he'd pushed his body, his whole system felt raw. He bleerely blinked at the door, yeah this should be it, He knocked
"come in" Neji said his voice muffled. Naruto stepped in studying the room, it was a grande affair, a double bed with high bed posts, all the furniture in the room was a rich brown.
"and where were you?" Neji asked, sat in a chair pulled up to a desk
"there were some problems, its a long story and I don't want to talk about it" Naruto replied walking straight threw the room and into the bathroom.
Running the taps he quickly washed his hands, the blood coming of easily, at least he could be sure this was real. He hesitated when he turned to the towels, they were a royal cream, he knew drying his hands would leave a bloody stain. He sighed turning back to the sinks, after being sure his hands had no residue he allowed himself to use the towels feeling guilty even as the fine textile came away damp but spotless.
He quickly located his bag to the side of the room someone must have dragged it there.
"we should sleep soon" Neji said, Naruto nodded pulling out his sleep ware from the bottom of the bag. He quickly dropped his trousers, replacing them with more comfortable attire. ninjas had learned modesty served no purpose.
Neji who was already dressed, moved slowly up from the chair to the door and flicked the switch, encasing the room in darkness.
The intense sun witch had domed suna to be barren, was only a faint glow at the thick white windows.
They both slipped under the thin sheet, Naruto began to figit trying to find the right position. He spun around twice before trying to relax on his front lying on his elbow. After a few seconds he twisted again onto his back. His sore legs stretching quite painfully.
"so do you want to talk now" Neji asked in the dark , Naruto turned to find the lavender eyes staring at him from the other side of the bed. He scoffed turning away, didn't Neji understand English. No.
He tried to force his mind to sleep. Running from Konoho to suna then fighting, before sprinting back should mean his body would be ready to drop. But he just couldn't sleep.
The blanket was vibrating on his stomach, it was irritating, looking down he realised his foot was twitching. He made himself stop surprised Neji hadn't punched him in the back of the head by now. He shuffled further down the bed, his feet pushing at the boundary of the bed.
"fuck" he swore turning to Neji, "look, I just don't know what I'm doing, its like my body is running away without me" Naruto blinked, he had just shouted at Neji, Neji hadn't attacked back and was staring
"and what are you referring to" Neji asked
"its-right-"Naruto started his tounge feeling numb in his mouth, "I kissed Gaara alright!" he shouted before covering his mouth and turning it into the pillow. Well done Naruto, he said to himself, you could have just talked about the Acatsuki member. He groaned and opened one eye, Neji looked striken, staring straight threw Naruto
"you-kissed- Gaara" Neji repeated , "Gaara"
"several times acturlly" he found himself saying, he bit his lip, he needed to stop talking now
"Your gay?" Neji asked, Nauto could here Neji move slightly
"NO!" he shouted
"look why don't you just start from the beginning" Neji said cautiously , Naruto sighed
"I just-can't talk about this with you" If it was Iruka, Kakashi or even Sakura then yes he would consider telling his two year secret, but Neji?. Neji!. The guy who had actively despised him and treated him like dirt. No.
"Your obviously struggling, it will give you peace of mind" Neji insisted
Naruto turned again sighing, the pressure was set to burst, he needed someone to talk to about this
"you know that stupid party katy or something hosted like two years ago, the one were Gaara came?" Naruto asked, he saw Neji nod
"we were dared to, well, er , we were put in a sexual situation basically, and I...didn't hate it" he sighed, what a understatement he had almost cum in his pants watching Gaara " Then Sakura had a party and we got very drunk and I couldn't let anything happen so it didn't , but then he came into my house looking all- ah well anyway he proposed a sort of last time occasion, so we- er yeah and then he left before we could talk, not like we would of course" he took a deep breathe, running a hand threw his hair hard,
"wow I never would of guessed you and Gaara, or you and any guy to be honest" Neji said
"neither did I" Naruto sighed quietly, staring down at himself "Hey aren't you gay?"
"no what made you think that" Neji asked, Naruto stared at his long hair a second to long
"ugh no reason", before scowling "God i'm a freak" he buried his head back into the pillows
"30% of the worlds population happen to be gay, Freak implies your alone, anyway Gaara doesn't seem to be pushing you away, are you calling him a freak?" Neji asked
"No" Naruto said quickly, Gaara was absolutely fucking perfect.
"Look everybody had moments, once I found myself thinking Lee's determination was-" Neji started pausing
"was what" Naruto pushed, leaning forward
"admirable" Neji finished
"aw I thought you were gonna say sexy" , Nejis eyes grew wide
"no Naruto"
"I'm not Gay though, I have never looked at a guy and thought mmm hot sex god come fuck me" Naruto said, hearing Nejis shocked snort at his crudity "witch makes me think i'm not gay, but I know, I know sucking on Gaaras tounge and loving it isn't straight" Naruto finished
"i'm not sure how'd you prove that without a test of some sorts" Neji said shuffling to relax more on the bed
"yeah I'd have to find other guys to see if its just Gaara" Naruto finished although the thought made him feel strangely ill
"this isn't the part were you try and kiss me is it" Neji asked, Naruto gasped and laughed at the same time, shocked at Neji's assumption, their eyes locked, Narutos brain ran to a stop, kiss Neji!?, he ran the idea threw his head, kiss Neji, it would answer his question, but he would have to kiss Neji
"NO no no no, you get away from me" Naruto replied pointing to the other side of the bed.
"I should be the worried one here" Neji countered moving away a little
"Oh you have nothing to worry about" Naruto replied quickly, no he'd rather kiss Gaaras feet then Neji, but then he's probily do that anyway, ugh
"so you kissed again tonight" Neji prompted trying to save their turid conversation.
"yeah, he was dead, and, god he'll never know what that did to me, I was ready to follow him if i'm honest" Naruto admitted shocking himself "and just when I thought Gaaras safe, that acatsuki fucker almost took him away. If I had been late, even by a few seconds. Gaara would be dead, and I, I couldn't handle my emotions, so we kissed and it was just not long enough" Naruto rambled sighing "and god Neji I thought what happened between us was some childish mistake that we would just get over but its never gonna stop, and i'm terrified. Is this gonna be my life, am I gonna get married, have kids all while not being able to stop kissing this beautiful man"
"I feel like you should be telling Gaara this, I mean only you two can work out what you have"
"and what do we have, some split personality that wants to fuck the other" Naruto groaned
"Naruto its been two years, if this was nothing then it would be gone" Neji said, Naruto looked up at Neji pausing
"I could never be with him, like a girl could" Naruto sighed
"yes you can, if its acceptance you know we would all accept you" Neji said
"oh come on Neji, what has you Dad, uncle, family said about same sex couples" Naruto said staring fiercely at him, Neji blinked
"well, of course they don't approve, they have never even met a gay person, they'd probably change their mind if they talked to you, god knows I did" Neji finished referencing Narutos famous speeches, Naruto sighed
"Gaara and me, we've been threw a lot of shit, this, this would only hurt him more" Naruto sighed, thinking of the stuff that happens to gay people in their world, poor already damaged Gaara, there was no way he could justify his happiness for that.
"I don't wanna talk about this anymore, I'm tired, lets just sleep alright" Naruto ordered turning away from Neji, he sighed relaxing into the soft bed
"just don't give up" Neji said to his back
"Its my ninja way" he sleepily mumbled
Okay how many of you were worried Naruto and Neji were gonna make out? haha, oh yeah i got accepted to univerity, nicee, please leave your reviews and anyone with alot of time of your hands tell me what your favourate chapter is so far.
