Chapter 10

"Why are you so sullen, my love?" Kimimaro asked.

"It's just Hinata, she makes me so angry! I mean can't she get her own life instead of prying into mine," griped Neji.

Kimimaro sighed and gave Neji a hug, "Tonight is all about us, so free your troubled mind; for we shall not worry but relax. Now let's head to my house."

Neji never noticed how Kimimaro seemed so poetic. They had walked about five blocks when Neji stopped and asked, "Do you even live in Konoha?!"

Kimimaro laughed, "Of course I do, just near the border. Here," Kimimaro opened his kind, loving arms inviting Neji in. Once Neji was in his embrace, Kimimaro mumbled something under his breath then they were gone in a puff of smoke.

They appeared in front of what looked like a traditional Japanese palace; but it wasn't, it was just a very large estate. There were four large houses in a square layout; the largest was in the back. Neji was in shock just at the size of the estate.

Neji stammered, "…Um…um where are we?"

"Oh, well my house last time I checked," Kimimaro joked.

"No, I mean which one is yours?" asked Neji.

Kimimaro proceeded to sit on the stone steps outside the front gate, "They all are. I rent out these front ones and use the very back one. I inherited this place from my parents. When I was little they came to build this place after they had abandoned me. So, while I was being locked up by my clan, they were out here. Come on lets go."

As they headed towards Kimimaro's house they passed the front houses. It was so beautiful how the cherry blossoms looked blowing in the wind. After they passed the four houses, Neji noticed a car garage with many shinyand expensive cars.

Neji stuttered when he asked, "Holy…shit! If you have all these why walk?"

Kimimaro chuckled, "Well walking is good exercise, and I mean come on I can't chose just one that early in the morning."

They arrived at Kimimaro's front door. Kimimaro then held the door open for Neji, "Hope you enjoy."

"Oh, um me too," Neji replied. When Neji entered, he shouldn't have been surprised, yet he was. In the grand entryway, there were not one, but two sets of enormous black marble stairs with silver inlay railings; one along each side of the walls. In between the two stairs was the entrance into the living room.



"Would you like the grand tour?" Kimimaro asked.

Neji quickly said, "Um…yea if it's quick. Then can we go to your room?"

"Now why do you want to go there for?" pressed Kimimaro with a smirk on his face.

Again Neji said quickly, "Well…well you've seen mine, so I wanted to see yours."

"Oh really? I have a feeling you want to do something else, but then again it's only a feeling," Kimimaro said sitting on the stairs.

"Well, aren't you going to show me around?" Neji asked looking at Kimimaro on the steps.

Kimimaro laughed, "Well clearly that's not what you want to do, now is it? But anyway let's get the tour done and over with."

Kimimaro quickly walked Neji through his living room, kitchen, backyard, office, etc. Then Kimimaro showed Neji to the master bedroom, his room. The room's walls were lavender with an emerald trim. Against the middle wall Kimimaro had a black king size canopy bed with crimson sheer silk drapes.

As soon as Kimimaro finished sliding the doors shut, Neji flopped on his bed. Neji then patted the spot next to him. Kimimaro walked over and sat next to Neji. Neji leaned over and began kissing Kimimaro forcefully. Kimimaro should've enjoyed this but it did the complete opposite.

Kimimaro quickly shoved Neji off of him, and asked "What are you doing?"

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Neji asked in return.

Kimimaro looked at him with blank eyes, "No, when did I give you that idea?"

"Well you were all like, 'Personally, I think you'd look superb with nothing at all, but that's just me,' so I assumed you wanted me to be more forward," Neji said.

"I was joking when I said that. I didn't want you to change, because I fell in love with the cute and shy Neji, not this one who's so forceful," replied Kimimaro.

"I'm sorry I just wanted to make you as happy as you've made me. I thought doing this might do that," Neji replied on the verge of tears.

Kimimaro looked at Neji, "I've made you happy? Well I think it's the complete opposite. You've made me feel like I never have. For I have never known the true meaning of love. All I know is that I love you."

Kimimaro then began to kiss Neji, this time they both returned the kisses and enjoyed it. By the time they had stopped kissing, both Kimimaro's and Neji's lips were swollen; for this was the first time they had kissed so passionately and long.

They just laid there in each other's arms on Kimimaro's bed, never wanting the moment to end.



"We should probably get dinner," Kimimaro said.

As Kimimaro was loosening the grasp Neji had around his waist, Neji gave out a cry of pain.

"Please, just a little longer, I never want this to end," Neji whispered, and then gave Kimimaro a kiss.

They laid there for about five more minutes when Kimimaro heard Neji's stomach yell.

Kimimaro laughed, "Now, I think that's a sign my love saying you're hungry. Come down to the kitchen, I'll make sushi."

Neji loved sushi and he loved Kimimaro. Sushi made by him would be superb.

They arrived in the kitchen, Kimimaro proceeded to pull out the ingredients needed to make sushi, and then started some rice. While the rice cooked Neji wrapped his arms around Kimimaro.

"I want to stay with you forever, please never leave me," Neji whimpered.

Kimimaro just stroked his fingers through Neji's hair, "I feel the same. I will never leave you, hoping you will not leave me."

"I love you," Neji whispered in Kimimaro's ear.

"I love you too," Kimimaro replied before getting the rice.

They quickly downed dinner then retreated to Kimimaro's bedroom again. They hadn't realized that it was already 10pm. They changed into pajamas then laid beneath the covers, whispered good night to each other the drifted to sleep in each other's embrace.
