Chapter 3

"Breaking glass"


Neji POV

The keys jingled in my pale hand as I unlocked the door to the condo Sasuke and I shared. Barely even inside the room, I was greeted with the sight of Naruto and Kiba fighting over the X-BOX three sixty control.

"Give it here dog breath!" Naruto pulled the remote in his direction but then fell over on his head while Kiba pulled it over to himself and exclaimed, "Like hell I will pea for a brain!"

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!"

Shikamaru who was sitting on our leather couch reading a book, turned to greet me with a bored wave. "Hey Neji, welcome home."

I could feel my eyes twitching in irritation as the scene unfolded in front of me. Heaving a sigh, I shut the front door and dropped my keys to the coffee table.

"You morons are aware that there's more than one remote, right?" To my question they only began to wrestle around the room as Shikamaru answered for them.

"Yep, but they keep ranting on and on about how lucky that remote is supposed to be or something, I don't know." He shrugged for emphasis and returned to his "Checkers for Dummies" novel. Looking around the upside down living room, I became aware to the fact that the chicken butt haired Uchiha wasn't around, so I asked, "Where's the Uchiha?"

"Chatting with that girl again." they all replied simultaneously.

At that I smirked. "Oh really, again? How long has it been now?"

Kiba who had been sticking out his tongue at a pouting Naruto turned to me and said casually, "One month and 6 days."

The Uchiha had constantly chatted with this girl for a little over a month now non-stop, and it amused me to no end to see how much softer he's gotten over her. Though I hardly approved of this online affair, I kept my thoughts to myself; the Uchiha's life was no business of mine nor did I want it to be.

The door down the hall creaked open and a monotone faced Sasuke stepped outside of his room and stared at me curiously.

"When did you get here, Hyuga?"

"Long enough." The answer was short and curt.

He stared at my smirk for a while before looking at me like I grew a third head and turning to the kitchen.

"So teme, are you and your little girlfriend getting acquainted nicely?"

Sasuke appeared, tomato in hand as he glared holes into Naruto's head. "Shut up dobe before I come over there and make you." Naruto only snickered at the comment and proceeded to throw profanities at a winning kiba.

"Seriously dude, what's up with you and zaruka?"

"SAKURA!" He all but growled at all of us, which did not go unnoticed by anyone.

Kiba and Naruto howled with laughter as Shikamaru and I smirked. "Yeah if that's even her name." Naruto declared between fits of cackling.

The Uchiha smirked at this and said, "You're just jealous you don't have a girlfriend dobe."

"Nu –uh!"

"Oh Hinata-Chan; Hinata- Chan!" Kiba mocked and proceeded to laugh as he saw the small blush that appeared on Naruto's face.

I sat on the couch next to Shikamaru and pretended to be interested in the game. Just as I truly was getting into the game, Sasuke announced out of the blue, "We're meeting up tonight, just so you know." I turned to glare at the careless posture that leaned against the wall.

"What!" I said. "Tonight? When did you figure this one out? Was it before or after she brainwashed you?" My irritation only grew when he shrugged and continued to eat his tomato. Shikamaru interjected a yawn before replying. "Troublesome drama, where?"

"At the club down the street."

"WHA-you said tonight right?" Naruto's mouth hung open.

"Hn."

The room grew eerily silent when finally kiba said, "You like her don't you?"

No response of course, I doubt anyone was expecting one. Shikamaru sighed. "As much I'd love to see this disaster unfold in person, I have a date with Temari tonight and there's no way I can get out of it."

Naruto and Kiba agreed. "Yeah, me and Naruto have plans too."

"What are you doing tonight Neji?" I glared at Naruto's stupid face.

"Nothing."

"Ok then –"

"But that doesn't mean I want to go anywhere with him or his little prostitute either."

Sasuke and I glared at each other.

"Aww come on Neji, stop being a jack ass."

"Yeah Neji, for once just take that stick up your ass out for air or something. Besides, we're going to need an eye witness to know what happened."

I shook my head adamantly, no way.

I sighed. How did I get myself into this situation again? Sandwiched between hot, sweaty, dancing people was NOT how I imagined myself spending my Saturday.

The music was too loud; the people were too close to bear and the air was so stuffy, I could swear it could be sliced in half by a knife.

The Uchiha returned, sat beside me again, and ordered a drink. "She wasn't there?" I asked though I knew the answer anyway. He's already been there twice and the game was becoming old.

"Hn." He replied and I sighed again and took a sip of my water. (I didn't drink, I felt it was an activity acted out only by miserable people with no life.)

We sat there in that room for about ten minutes before he got up to go check on his date again. This time, I stopped him.

"You're very persistent, you know that?" It wasn't a question and he stared at me blankly. "I'll join you." I simply stated and stepped off my stool. He smirked at the action.

"Oh, looking for some entertainment are we?"

I shrugged, choosing to ignore his teasing. "Might as well get a few laughs out of this meeting, anything's better than sitting here with those fan girls standing in that corner over there stalking me."

He nodded and we made our way to the D.J towards the corner of the large dancing floor. Surprisingly this time, there were two women standing there talking, very into there conversation. The one with pink hair was the first to notice us approaching and soon the brunette turned and noticed us too. The look that crossed her face was too comical and I smirked at her.

How interesting...


Tenten POV

"Sakura?" The dark blue haired one asked over the music when he came into hearing range. A blush flooded Sakura's cheeks and she nodded mutely. I fought with myself not to roll my eyes and stared at the gray-eyed one who had been smirking at me ever since we saw him. I wanted so badly to rip it off his good looking face, but restrained myself with thoughts of Sakura and how much this meeting meant to her.

Chicken butt (that was my new name for him) took out his hand for Sakura to shake while the long haired cocky bastard and I battled it out. I glared and he smirked. And though the smirk looked convincing enough, some part of me knew he didn't want to be there either.
