Chapter 9

"Thought you could escape from me, unless you wanted to get away from me; did you?" Kimimaro asked sadly.

Neji replied with, "Oh, no, it's just that I'm going through some things that I've never gone through, and I'm just not used to it that's all."

"Oh, well I bet this wouldn't help," no sooner than these words had left his lips, Kimimaro leaned into Neji and gave him a kiss.

Neji was a deep scarlet, "So...so is that how you feel about me??"

"Yes, you're the only person I've conversed with in some time. I felt a strong connection between us and I thought I might as well try to find love, gay or not," Kimimaro answered lightly.

Kimimaro stepped back slightly and asked Neji, "May I have the honor of being your boyfriend?"

Neji didn't know how to reply. He never really felt these emotions towards anyone. "But why is it Kimimaro?" Did this mean Neji might've found love? Though he knew as it always went, he could never truly be happy; for it was his destiny.

-Story breaks-

Neji: Wait WTF? I'm back to that whole "destiny" thing? Geeze, I would've thought I moved on.

Me: Oh, sorry Neji it just sounded too good. But anyway, back to the story!

-Story starts back up-

"Did you want to think about it then, and give me a reply later? I don't mind waiting for you," Kimimaro replied interrupting the silence between the two.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I can give you my answer now. Yes, I'd be more than happy to be your boyfriend, but just don't break my heart," Neji responded, "I don't think I would be able to bare it."

Kimimaro said in a kind, loving tone, "I would never do anything to harm you, yet alone something that cruel. I will always protect you no matter what. I will always make it my top priority to be there for you. I may make mistakes so please take it into consideration that I am only human. I want you to be able to tell me anything and everything. I want to do all these things and more, because I do love you." Kimimaro then leaned in and gave Neji a truly loving kiss.

Neji kissed back for he felt the same. The bell then rang and interrupted this sincerely heartwarming scene.

Kimimaro chuckled, "Funny how that stupid bell tends to ruin our most precious moments. Let's get to class my love."



As they walked to Science Neji clung tighter onto Kimimaro's arm, as if at any moment he'd leave him. Kimimaro just smiled and held his hand firmly, knowing he'd never leave Neji.

"Class, today is Friday and you know what that means!" Orochimaru sung happily, "Group Activities! You can work in pairs of two or three, but Sasuke you can work with me," Orochimaru said in a way that made shivers travel throughout the class' spine. "Sasuke, Sasuke where are you? Where have you gone?!" Orochimaru cried.

"Um… you just gave him a pass to the bathroom," a student answered bravely.

Completely ignoring this Orochimaru said now on his knees, "NO SASUKE, I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!!"

As Orochimaru was carrying on Sasuke walked in the door and stopped dead in the door way, "What are you doing OROCHIMARU?!" Sasuke asked getting madder by the second.

"Oh, Sasuke I thought you'd left me forever," he said in a completely different mood.

"Oh, excuse me! I had to go pee!" Sasuke screamed.

"NO!! Don't yell at me my beloved," Orochimaru wept.

"Ugh whatever," Sasuke sighed rolling his eyes.

The class sat their stuck in between shock and horror. The class quickly recovered, they were beginning to get used to this routine. Kimimaro and Neji worked together of course.

Kimimaro started off with, "Hey I was wondering, can I take you on a real date?"

Neji replied with, "Yea, hold on…what do you mean by, a 'real date'?"

"Well I wanted to properly introduce myself to your uncle and cousin. That won't be a problem, right?" Kimimaro asked politely.

"Um…no, what day works best for you?" Neji inquired.

"Well, if you're staying over at my house tonight, we could walk back to your place later in the morning, and have dinner that evening. I'll just be sure to call and make reservations tonight, 'k?" answered Kimimaro.

Before Neji could open his mouth he thought about this, "Ok. Dinner sounds great, but staying over already? Geeze…now I feel like Gaara and Naru. Oh fine, might as well have some fun."

Neji smirked and said, "You sure you want to show me where you live? I might not ever leave."

"But, think, would that be so bad? No, in fact it'd be oh so enjoyable," retorted Kimimaro.

Neji was thinking to himself, "Hmm, if he wants me so badly, I might as well throw myself at him."



Sixth hour seemed to go by very fast. Before they knew it they heard the bell ring.

"Well my prince, shall we be off?" Kimimaro asked.

Neji responded, "Let me go put my book in my locker, and then we can stop by my house to pick up some clothes."

"Oh, you don't think you'd look cute in my clothes? Personally, I think you'd look superb with nothing at all, but that's just me," Kimimaro coyly smirked.

Neji couldn't believe how far he'd have to go to outdo Kimimaro, it's like Kimi keeps coming back for more. Oh well, once they got to his house, in his room things would really start to get interesting.

They hurried to Neji's locker to put his book up, and then left quickly to his house. Neji and Kimimaro got to Neji's house faster than expected. He told Kimi to wait outside for he'd only be a few minutes to grab his things. As he walked inside, low and behold who was sitting on the couch but none other than Hinata.

"Well, well, if it isn't Neji? So I assume you're not staying here tonight?" Hinata said sarcastically.

Neji then countered, "Well what if I am… wait how did you get home before us?"

"Aw come on don't underestimate me… hey, don't change the subject!" exclaimed Hinata.

"Whatever; tell uncle I'll be at a friend's tonight, and I'll be home tomorrow," Neji said while getting his bag.

"Wow that was fast. I'm so proud of you Neji," Hinata said acting as if she were crying tears of joy.

Neji sighed as he left, "Whatever you freak!"
