Ah! Gomen-nasai, gomen-nasai! I come here baring gifts…okay not really, just a chapter of my story XD I hope that you guys enjoy this chapter! I worked really hard on this chapter so I hope that you like it! I am going to try my hardest to update a lot this weekend because I have 4 days off! This chapter was a bitch and a half to write though, but I managed to do it! Also this chapter has light shonen-ai and angry!Hinata. It was kind of different to write an angry Hinata, considering so far I have wrote her as really sweet and shy, so I'm not sure if it that part turned out as well as I would have wanted it to. Okay, I am going to stop talking now, don't want this AN to be too long now do we? No, no we don't :D
DarkAngelJudas: You're very welcome for the fast update, oh wondrous reader -bows down- Heheh, coincidence how they all worked there huh? I know how you feel, I would also like to push TenTen into the street for her to get hit by a bus, it would make me mighty happy! But don't worry; she will get what is coming to her! Neji us just a bit of an ass in this story huh? Oh well, he will also get what is coming to him in this story, in this story he gets yelled at about what he is doing, so I hope that makes you happy, I know it made me happy :D I know; I feel so bad for making this stuff happen to Gaara!
Disclaimer: No gosh darn it, I don't own Naruto! -bursts into tears-
Warnings: Yaoi, Yuri, and het. Yes, I warn you because of het. MajorOOC. Rated T just to be safe. This chapter has very light shonen-ai so if you don't like a sweet little kiss between two boys, then please leave. Also Angry!Hinata is in this chapter
Summary: It is April 1st and, like always, Neji is going to play a prank on someone, but what happens when the prank plays with emotions?

Neji and Gaara were walking along East Street hand-in-hand away from the restaurant they had just left. Now they were heading to the movie theater for the last part of their date. They were walking along in silence, but this time the silence was comfortable. They were just enjoying being with each other and, not that Neji would ever admit it to anybody, he was actually semi-enjoying his 'date' Gaara. Maybe this is a bad idea, Neji thought. I might be starting to like this kid...no Neji, this is all just a dare, you can't get attached. Neji was now conflicted. Gaara was starting to change his opinion about him. First he hated him and was just doing this dare for some fun, but now he was wondering why he ever hated Gaara in the first place. All of Neji's thoughts were causing an odd expression to cross his face, this concerned Gaara.
"U-um, Neji, are you o-okay?" Gaara asked hesitantly.
This caught Neji off –guard, he was surprised that Gaara picked up on his inner-turmoil. "I'm fine Gaara, just thinking is all." Neji said with a slight smile, which caused Gaara to smile his own breath-taking smile.
"Okay, that's good!" Gaara said happily. They were nearing the movie theater now, only about five more minutes until they would actually reach it. As they were walking along the road that lead to the movie the sky started darkening, alerting the two boys of the time. Judging by the time it was probably around 7:00, giving Gaara a good two hours until he needed to be home. Gaara started thinking about what kind of movies he would like to watch. Horror…no, I hate horror movies, what about a Romance, or would that be too cheesy? Hmm… Gaara was so caught up in his thoughts he didn't realize they were at the movie theater. But a gentle tug on his hand alerted him of where they were.
"Gaara, we're here." Neji said while stopping and looking up at the movie theater, seeing what was playing.
"O-oh, sorry!" Gaara said while stopping and looking up also.
"It's okay, but what do you think you might want to see?" Neji asked, while looking down at Gaara.
Gaara took his time looking at the movie titles. Hop, Rio, Scream 4, Source Code, and Water for Elephants (1). "U-um, I think I want to watch H-hop, b-but only i-if that's okay w-with y-you!" Gaara said, wanting Neji to be happy with the movie he picked as well.
Neji smiled slightly at Gaara's consideration for him. "That sounds great Gaara." Neji said while leading them to the ticket booth. "Two tickets for Hop please." Neji asked the person in the ticket booth, a teen with a pineapple shaped hair-do that Gaara swore he thought he had seen hanging out with Neji at school. Man, what was with all of Neji's friends being working where they were going? The person on the ticket booth smirked and winked at Neji before he led Gaara into the lobby of the movie theater.
"Come on Gaara; let's get some snacks before the movie starts." Neji said before slipping Gaara's ticket into his hand and leading him over to the concession line. This concession had a whole array of junky snack foods; chocolate bars, boxes of candy, candy floss, popcorn, soda, you name it and they would have it.
Gaara looked around trying to make up his mind of what he would like. After thinking he decided he would get candy floss, a box of smarties, an orange soda, and he and Neji would share a large box of popcorn. When they finally reached the cashier at the concession stand they got their food.
"We would like a box of smarties, a box of M&Ms, two candy flosses, one blue one pink, a root beer an orange soda, and a large popcorn." Neji said while reaching to get his wallet out of his pocket, when a hand stopped him. "Hmm, what is it Gaara?" Neji asked.
"I-I want to p-pay." Gaara said while looking up at Neji. "I mean y-you paid at the r-restaurant, so I-I want to p-pay for this." Gaara said while still looking into Neji's milky white eyes.
"No Gaara, I asked you on the date, it is my treat. Okay?" Neji said while slightly smiling down at Gaara.
"B-but-" Gaara started but was cut off Neji.
"No 'buts' Gaara, I am paying and that is final." Neji said with finality while reaching into his pocket to retrieve his wallet.
"The total is 13.99$." The cashier said with a bored tone of voice while checking her nails.
Neji handed the girl his money, grabbed his and Gaara's voice and led the both of them towards Theater 1 (2) where Hop was playing.
After walking into the theater Gaara and Neji started looking for seats. They finally chose two seats in the middle of the very back row of the theater, where they had a clear view of the screen. They then sat down in their seats waiting for the movie to start.
"Hey Gaara?" Neji asked as he put his pop in his cup holder.
"H-hai?" Gaara asked while turning his head to look at Neji.
"What exactly this movie about?" Neji asked curiously, he had no clue what this movie about.
"O-oh! It's a-about a rabbit n-named E.B who is s-supposed to be the n-new Easter Bunny b-but he doesn't w-want to be the Easter Bunny, h-he wants to be a r-rock star! (3)" Gaara said with a smile in his face. Seeing Gaara so obviously happy made Neji happy also.
"It sounds funny." Neji said while looking at Gaara, causing him to blush under Neji's intense stare.
"W-what? Is there s-something on my face?" Gaara asked while wiping at his face, wondering why Neji was staring at him.
Neji stopped Gaara's hands from moving on his face. "No, I've just never seen you so happy before." Neji said while smiling, causing Gaara to blush and look away.
"A-ano…the movies s-starting…" Gaara trailed off as Neji tilted his head up to look at him. "Neji…?" Neji leaned his head down and gave Gaara the most innocent of chaste kissed on his lips. No matter how innocent this kiss was it still caused Gaara to blush immensely.
"You're right, let's watch the movie." Neji said with his own faint blush on his cheeks.

Gaara and Neji were laughing as they left the theater, hand-in-hand.
"That movie was really funny Gaara!" Neji said as he and Gaara walked out of the lobby of the movie and out into the cold air of the night.
"Y-yeah it w-was." Gaara said shivering; he forgot to bring a sweater with him. Neji frowned slightly at this.
"Are you cold?" Neji asked while throwing out his and Gaara's garbage.
"N-no...well, k-kind of." Gaara said, knowing it was pointless to try and lie, Neji would see through it anyways.
Neji put his arm around Gaara's waist, pulling him closer to his own body. "Better?" Neji asked while smiling down at the blushing Gaara.
"Y-yeah…" Gaara trailed off as he put his own arm hesitantly around Neji's waist.
"Good. What time is it?" Neji asked while he and Gaara walked in the direction of Gaara's house.
"U-um, it is," Gaara took his phone out of his pocket. "8:45. Wait…I have to be home in 15 minutes!" Gaara said while panicking slightly. It normally took 15 minutes to walk to his house from the movie theater!
"Don't worry; I'll get you home in time if I want your brother to let me go on more dates with you. Come on, I know a shortcut." Neji said while leading Gaara in another direction. But Gaara was too stunned after hearing Neji's comment to realize that they had changed course.
"M-more dates?" Gaara asked still stunned.
Gaara's obvious confusion made him smile. "Of course, I would like to go on many more dates with you. That is, if that's okay with you." Neji said, starting to put his other part of his prank in action.
"Oh! I would l-love to go o-on more dates w-with you N-Neji!" Gaara said while stopping in the sidewalk to look up at Neji.
Neji smiled at this, it just made his job a lot easier. "Great, then this makes asking you this lot easier. Would you like to be my boyfriend Gaara?" Neji asked while inwardly dancing, he already knew what the answer would be.
"Y-yes! I would l-love to be y-your boyfriend N-Neji!" Gaara said in joy as he hugged Neji.
Neji smirked as he hugged Gaara back. Perfect, everything is going just the way I want them to, but suddenly I don't feel so great pulling this prank anymore… "Great, I am really glad Gaara." Neji said as he pulled away, but not completely, so he still had his arm around Gaara's waist as they continued walked in the direction of Gaara's house.
They arrived much too soon at Gaara's house it seemed for the both of them. Gaara still had five more minutes before he needed to actually be home. Neji walked Gaara up to his doorstep.
"I had a r-really great t-time tonight N-Neji." Gaara said while smiling up at his 'boyfriend'.
Neji smiled down at Gaara. "I also had a great time tonight Gaara." Neji said as he held both of Gaara hands in his, facing him. "Can I see your phone for a second?" Neji asked Gaara.
"S-sure." Gaara said while pulling his phone out and giving it to Neji. "W-why though?" Gaara asked.
"I am going to put your number in my phone and mine in yours." Neji said while inputting the numbers in each other's phones. When he finished he gave Gaara back his phone and put his own in his pocket. "There, now we can call each other." Neji said while smiling.
Gaara smiled up at Neji. "W-well…bye." Gaara said before standing on his tip-toes to give Neji a chaste kiss on his lips. He lingered a little longer than the previous kisses that they had though before completely pulling away.
"Yeah…bye." Neji said while walking down Gaara's steps backwards, keeping him in his sights.
Gaara waved goodbye to Neji as he walked away. When he couldn't see him anymore he turned around and went into his house, smiling completely happy…that is until Temari saw him.
"GAA-KUUUUUUUUUUN!" Was all Gaara heard before he was glomped by his older sister. The force behind her glomp knocked Gaara over and into the door.
"Mari-chan, get off of me!" Gaara squealed while laughing and trying to push his older sister off of him.
"EEP! I'm sorry Gaa-kun, I didn't hurt you did I?" Temari said while checking Gaara to make sure she didn't hurt him.
"I-I'm fine Mari-chan!" Gaara said while pushing his sister off if himself and bending down to take his shoes off. Just as he got his shoes off and stood up he was yanked forward by Temari. "Eep! Temari, what are you doing?" Gaara asked before he was thrust on the couch.
Temari sat on the table in front of him by Kankuro who looked amused. "Spill." Was all Temari said to her younger brother.
"W-what?" Gaara asked confused.
"Oh come one! Tell us what happened on your date Gaa-kun, and don't leave anything out. Nothing." Temari said with a sly smirk.
Gaara blushed remembering his date. "E-everything?" Gaara asked hesitantly, he wasn't sure he wanted to tell them everything, especially not the kisses!
"Yeah, everything." Temari said, with the same smirk still on her face.
"O-oh, well we went to this r-really nice restaurant called Four Seasons t-that Neji's family owns. The food there was really good! Then we went to the movies and we saw H-hop, then he walked me home…" Gaara trailed off, smiling at remembering what a great night he had.
Temari and Kankuro were stunned by how happy Gaara was, he hadn't been this happy since before they had moved to Konoha. "And? We all know that is not all that happened." Temari said while trying to hold in her giggles.
"W-well…" Gaara trailed off, still hesitant towards telling his siblings at what else had happened.
"Well what Gaara, we are dying to hear what happened!" Temari squealed, while Kankuro just sat on the table beside her, completely calm.
"W-well, he kissed me…twice and I kissed him once…and…heaskedmetobehisboyfriend!" Gaara finished off in a hurry. Temari couldn't keep her squeals in this time.
"Awww, that is so cute! Gaa-kun I am so happy for you! You have a boyfriend!" Temari squealed out as she went over to Gaara and glomped him…again.
"Temari give Ebi some space!" Kankuro said while getting off the table and prying Temari off of his younger brother, all the while laughing his head off.
"Ah, right sorry!" Temari said while trying to calm herself down, but failing.
"It's okay Mari-chan!" Gaara said while sitting up on the couch.
"So squirt (4) the date went pretty well, ne?" Kankuro asked while smiling at his younger brother.
"It went perfect! And Neji even said he wants to take me out on more!" Gaara said, completely ecstatic.
Seeing Gaara so happy made Temari and Kankuro unbelievably happy also. "We'll see squirt, we'll see." Kankuro said while ruffling Gaara's hair on his way to his room.
"Kanky-chan! (5)" Gaara squealed while fixing his hair. All he heard in reply was Kankuro's hearty laugh.

Neji walked into the parlour of his house, trying to be quiet since his younger cousin Hanabi was most likely sleeping.
After Neji leaned down and took his shoes off he walked into his living room where Hinata was sitting on the couch with her dad and Neji's uncle Hiashi Hyuuga. Ever since Neji's parents died in a car accident 6 years prier Neji lived with his two cousins Hinata and Hanabi, his uncle Hiashi and his aunt Hanako Hyuuga (6).
"Neji, sit." Hiashi addressed Neji with a tone of voice that said 'you-had-better-sit-down-or-else'. Hiashi was normally very loving and thought of Neji like his own son, but he could be very scary when he wanted to be. Now was one of the scary times. Neji gulped as he sat down.
"H-hai Hiashi-sama." Neji stared at his uncle who was standing above him.
"Hinata told me where you were today. Care to tell me why you are doing this?" Hiashi said as he loomed over his nephew.
Neji swallowed thickly while glancing over his uncles' shoulder to see a very nervous Hinata. "I-I well…it's just a prank uncle; nothing bad is going to happen." Neji said while leaning back into the couch, trying to put some space between him and his uncle.
"You call playing with this boy's feelings is all a prank?" Hiashi said incredulously. "I thought that I raised you better than that Neji." Hiashi said while shaking his head and walking away to his room.
"Hinata why did you tell him about the prank?" Neji hissed while he got off the couch and over towards where Hinata was standing.
"H-he asked m-me where y-you were, and y-you know t-that I c-can't lie N-Neji nii-san!" Hinata said while backing up slightly from her cousin.
Neji sighed. "Great, now I'm going to have uncle on my case, just great." Neji said while pinching the bridge of his nose.
"W-well, he kind o-of has a p-point Neji n-nii-san." Hinata said as she looked up to look into Neji's eyes.
"Oh come on Hinata! How many times do I have to tell you that it is only a prank and that nothing bad is going to happen?" Neji asked as he turned his gaze towards his stuttering cousins' face.
"B-but he l-likes you N-Neji nii-san! He r-really likes y-you!" Hinata said, her voice growing with each word she spoke. "He isn't like all the other girls who like you! He genuinely likes you! (7)" Hinata said, almost yelling now.
"Shhh, Hinata! You'll wake up Hanabi!" Neji said in a harsh whisper.
This caused Hinata to get angrier then she already was. "Do not try and change the subject on me Neji! I am trying to tell you that what you are doing is wrong!" Hinata said a little quieter now, but still very harshly.
Neji sighed again at this. "Hina-" Neji's words were cut off by his cell phone.
Do you believe
In destiny?
I close my eyes
And dream that you are
Closer to me
So follow me
And you will see
Together we can touch the sky
We're flying so high
High
(Higher)(8)
Neji looked down at his phone to see that TenTen was calling him. "Hinata, it's TenTen, she'll probably be wondering how the date went, I need to take this." Was all Neji said before he left the living room and went up the stairs to his room. "Hello, TenTen." Neji said into the phone.
"Hey Neji! I just got off work! So…how did the date go?" TenTen asked over the phone. In the background Neji could hear some faint talking, probably a TV on somewhere.
"It went great! He totally fell for all of it!" Neji said while moving over to his bed and laying down on it.
"That's great! Did you make him your boyfriend yet or not?" TenTen asked while she moved to sit in a desk chair in her room.
"Yeah, and he totally fell for it, he hugged me and everything." Neji said while smirking slyly.
"That is so great! This is going to be your greatest prank ever Neji!" TenTen said happily while she was playing with her hair.
"Yeah, it is." Neji said while chuckling. Neji could hear the muffled sounds of TenTen's mother yelling at her to get off the phone.
"Ugh, my mom said I have to get off the phone. Wretched woman. Well I'll talk to you later Neji!" TenTen said before she hung up her phone. Neji chuckled again slightly before he hung up his own phone and put it on his bedside table.
Neji turned to look at the clock on his bedside table. 10:00, eh, might as well go to sleep now, I'll probably be yelled at again tomorrow. Were Neji's thoughts as he got up from his bed to find some pyjamas. He went over to his dark oak dresser and opened up his drawer that held his pyjamas. When he found of pyjamas that suited him he took off his clothes he wore on his 'date' and put on his pyjamas.
After Neji had finished his nightly routine he went to go to his room when he was stopped by Hinata.
"N-Neji, you h-had better k-know what y-you are doing." Was all Hinata said before she left to her room, her long black-blue hair swishing behind her.
Neji just sighed before he went into his room. Hinata, you couldn't just forget about all of this could you?

Ending AN
(1) These are the movies that are playing in my town right now.
(2) My movie theater has different sections where the movies play, and they are called Theater 1 etc.
(3) This is what I saw that the movie was about from the trailers and what I read from Wikipedia.
(4) Another one of Kankuro's nicknames for Gaara.
(5) This is Gaara's nickname for Kankuro.
(6) I know that Hinata and Hanabi's mom doesn't have a name, but in my story she does. I think that Hanako means 'flower child.'
(7) Hinata loses her stutter when she gets mad.
(8) This song is Destiny by Nightcore (LOVE) I was listening to this song at the time and thought it was fitting since Neji is always talking about destiny and fate and stuff.
Oh hey there! I hope that you enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it! I apologize for not including a movie scene but I haven't see the movie Hop yet so I just didn't include that, I am very sorry! Also a special thanks to TheColdprince666 who suggested that I should do the movie 'The Scarlet Letter' I'm sorry I didn't use this, I just didn't think that it fit the story, please don't be mad at me! T.T Also a very special thank you to my wonderful reviewer DarkAngelJudas they just make my day with their reviews, so if you are reading this then you rock and deserve to know it! Also I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for some nicknames for Neji because for the life of me I just can't come up with any! It's odd, I can think of nicknames for everyone but Neji. Damn brain. Well, it was nice seeing you, and I hope that we can see each other in the next chapter!
Hinata: M-Maddie, why d-did I get s-so angry in t-this chapter?
Me: Because Neji is an ass who doesn't care who he hurts.
Neji: Hey, I resent that!
Me: Yeah, well it's the truth.
Neji: Fufufu…
Hinata: See you a-all next t-time!
