Get a Life 25

…how did he end up in this situation again? Naruto's head started spinning as he and Neji held hands. Let's see uh, Neji bluntly asked if he liked Sasuke…then he said no…then Neji didn't buy it… and they somehow ended up as a couple? …what the fuck?

"I'm still not sure how we wound up this way…."
"You said you didn't like Sasuke."
"Riiiight."
"Then I said then your single."

"I remember that."
"Then I said let's be a couple."

"…"

Neji stopped.

"Do you not WANT to go out with me?"
Naruto blushed.

"Well no, it's…it's not that-"
"Then there's no problem."

Oh there was a problem alright. Neji KNEW Naruto liked Sasuke and the Sasuke like Naruto. So he figured with everyone going after Naruto he was the safest for Naruto to be with until the two of them sorted themselves out. Otherwise with Naruto being single Sai or Gaara were gonna go after him. That and he knew if he went out with Naruto, Sasuke would be jealous. And with that jealously would WAKE THE FUCK UP AND MAN UP! Jesus! Sasuke may end up hating his guts, but he was gonna owe him for this. Seriously, he was literally risking his own life here. But in the meantime… Neji then squeezed Naruto's hand, that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy the situation he was in. After all, even after all this and trying to help him get with Sasuke he STILL liked Naruto. That hadn't changed.

"Hey Gaara!" Naruto cheered.
And speaking of risking his own life… Neji remained calm. Gaara may have been an insane psychopathic murderer in the cyber realm, but in reality he was nothing…he hoped. Gaara looked at their hands then at Neji. Gaara twitched.

"Sup?"
"Oh nothing much." He kept cool as his inner self was screaming bloody murder "Naruto and I just decided to go out. That's all."

There was no response at first. Omen number one, awkward silence, BAAAAD sign.

"Anyway we should get going to class-"

Gaara then smiled warmly at Neji. WARMLY. Omen number two, when the devil hides behind a smile.

"Why of course."
…Shivers ran up his spine. He could literally feel the evil aura ooze off of the boy before him. It was like it came off of him, onto Neji and weighted him down. His inner self was screaming. I'M GONNA DIE! I'M GONNA FUCKING DIE!

"We have so much to talk about, you and I."

Gaara then walked to Neji's other side and death gripped Neji's arm with his nail perusing skin. Neji winced but nothing more. He wasn't gonna let Naruto find out. He had ENOUGH problems to worry about.

"Indeed we do." He replied a little shacky.

Gaara continued to smile. It was official he was more scared of Gaara's smile then his inner gamer.

Kiba stood in the hall looking at them dully then took a deep breath.

"You okay?" Shino asked noticing Kiba's actions.
"Hmm mmm." Kiba then cracked his neck. "I only have two more boys to kill. No big deal."

Shino then glanced over and noticed right away what was happening.

"Huh, I didn't see Neji being a potential problem."
"Shino, they're ALL a potential problem."

Kiba then cracked his knuckles.

"Kiba-" Shino warned.

Kiba sighed.

"I can't help it. I'm just so…over protective." He then sulked "It's my nature…"

"I know." Shino smiled. "I do the same thing in position."

Kiba glanced over and smirked playfully.

"Please, you'd do WAY more than that."

The bell ringed and people were now going to class.

"Let's just go and make sure no one kills each other during class, yeah?"
"Oh what, now where the babysitters?"
"No-" Sai then jumped and clinged onto Naruto's other arm. Kiba began to growl and Shino sighed before ending his sentence "we're the bodyguards."
