Neji heard a knock on his door and looked up from his reading. "Come in." Much to his surprise the Sano boy popped his head into the room. He turned to face the boy. "What can I do for you Kyo-san?" The boy stepped in and ran a hand through his hair nervously. "Um. I was wondering if I could sleep in here tonight. I love my sister but I'd like to be able to sleep in a different room from her for once." Neji quirked an eyebrow. "You two always sleep in the same room? You've never had separate rooms?" Kyo scratched his head bashfully. "Heh, well Danzou-sama never saw the need for it. As the only exception to the blood rule he thought of us as one shinobi instead of two so we were treated like one person instead of two. There was no need for separate rooms. Everyone treated us like one half of a whole when we weren't together and one person when we were. Except by Sai. He always treated us like separate people. To be honest, until today I never had the opportunity to sleep in a separate room."

Neji looked the boy up and down then shrugged. "Sure you can sleep here." Kyo did a little victory jump and Neji chuckled. He caught himself and put back on his face. He didn't get it. He was usually so stoic and reserved. The only emotion he freely showed was determination and anger. What was it about this kid that made him let go of his emotions. He didn't know but he was glad to feel comfortable enough to show what he felt. He turned to see Kyo studying him. "What?" "Nothing it's just I've never seen such a girly looking dude." Never mind. This guy is the worst. "For your information I don't look girly at all!" Kyo smirked. "Oh really?" He stepped towards Neji. "Prove it." Neji shot him an angry glare. "And how exactly would you like me to 'prove it' as you put it." Kyo grinned and sat down. "I don't know. I was just messing really." Neji snorted. "If anything you're the girly looking one." Kyo was up on his feet again. "What?! I'll have you know I am a gorgeous muscled sex god." Neji chuckled at him. "Prove it."

Kyo glared at Neji for a few moments. Neji smirked, but the smirk quickly went away when Kyo took off his shirt. Underneath the dark fabric were well toned muscles and a flat toned stomach with barely outlined abs. Neji caught himself staring and ripped his eyes away. Kyo quirked an eyebrow in amusement. "Like what you see?" Neji snorted. "As if." Kyo rolled his eyes. "Your turn pretty boy. Prove that you don't look like a girl." Neji was irritated. He pulled his shirt off and tossed it on his bed without a second thought. Kyo examined him for awhile. His body was thin with barely visible muscles along his frame. He was hot. Kyo decided to tease him. "Yup. Just like a girl. The only difference is you don't have breasts!" He declared. Neji was furious. "I do not look like a girl!" Kyo feel back on his bed laughing. "I bet- if you were- with a guy-you'd be- the GIRL!" he got out between laughs. Neji lunged across the room and climbed on top of Kyo, pinning his arms to the bed. "I'll show you who's the girl." He growled. Kyo stopped laughing and paled. "Hey Neji. I was only kidding." He squirmed but the boy above him wouldn't let go. Neji chuckled. "Okay joke's over you proved your point, let me up."

Kyo struggled to get up but Neji's grip on him only tightened. "Neji? Ah!" Neji started licking his neck, slow and deliberate. "Nej- hey-nng ah! Let go." Neji worked his way down Kyo's chest, to his right nipple. "Now who's the girl?" Kyo struggled once more to no avail. "Bastar- Ah! *pant* Get ha~ off." Neji pinned Kyo's wrists beneath one hand and brought his other down to play with te unattended nipple. "This one wants attention too." He chuckled. He didn't know what it was about this kid. He brought about feelings Neji had never known. But He did know one thing. He liked them. "Neji~ ah! please!" "Moaning my name like that. And while having your nipples played with. Perhaps you are a girl." "Please stop. Ngh! Please. Neji." Kyo whimpered and Neji looked up to see tears in electric blue eyes. He paused his ministrations and brought his face up to Kyo's. "I'm sorry. I'll stop teasing you now. Do you want me to be gentle?"

Neji wasn't expecting what happened next. Kyo nodded vigorously before lifting his mouth to connect with Neji's. Neji moaned and let go of Kyo's wrists. The boy immediately wrapped his arms around Neji's neck. Neji broke the kiss to lick at the tears staining the boy's eyes. He moved downward, licking Kyo's neck from shoulder to ear. The boy shivered underneath him. He drank in the sight of that body. Leaning down next to the boy's ear Neji whispered. "Kyo, do you want me?" The boy gave a shudder accompanied by a small moan. He nodded. Neji chuckled. "That's no good. I want to hear it. Do you want me?" The boy shivered. "Y-Ye-"

"Oi, Nii-san! We need your-" Kia stood in the doorway frozen. "Gyaaaaaaaaaah! Kiyami get the hell out!" The lamp sailed through the air and crashed against the already closed door. Kyo kneel on the bed panting with exertion and anger. Neji's head quickly cleared, and he started to panic. What the hell just happened?! I've never had feelings towards guys before and I almost just did one! This is not normal, this is not okay! I can't be gay! If Hiashi-sama finds out about this he'll have my head! It's all that kids fault! Before this mission this never would have happened! Aw God damn it!

He walked over to his bed and pulled his shirt on as fast as he could. He started to do it up. "Neji?" "Get out." "Haa?! But I-" "I said GET OUT! You're disgraceful. Doing stuff like that with a guy. You're not worthy of my time. Hell you're only half a person, you disgusting queer. Just get out!" Kyo stared angrily at Neji's back. He found his shirt and pulled it over his head. "Well I'm so sorry I'm a disgusting half-person of a queer not worthy of the great prodigy Hyuuga-sama. I'll take my leave now Captain." His words were laced with bitterness as he shoved past Neji to get to the door. Neji quickly turned around and grabbed his arm. "Kyo-" He hit the wall across the room hard and looked up. Kyo was standing in the doorway seething, tears streaming down his face. Neji wanted to reach out and wipe them away, but he held back. Kyo fixed him with a deadly glare. "Don't. Touch. Me."

He left the room and walked across the hall to his room. Neji brought his hand up to his cheek and winced. There would surely be a bruise in the morning. He chuckled to himself. "Well he sure doesn't hit like a girl."

When Kyo walked in Kiyami was reading on her bed. He closed the door behind him and sat down on his bed. "Hey sorry for intruding I really didn't know you two were- What the fuck did that bastard do to you?!" Kya walked over to her brother and embraced him. "Making you cry. I'll fucking kill him." He couldn't speak so he opened his mind and let her read his memories. "That son of a bitch." She growled. He still couldn't speak. Aniki don't. "Why the hell shouldn't I? That asshole. I'll pulverize that wretched excuse of a Hyuuga!" Kyo tightened his grip on his sister. Please. Kia-ki don't leave me alone right now. It was a nick name from when they were kids. Her expression softened and she hugged her brother tighter. Alright Kyo-nii. I'll stay. I'll always be here for you. With that Kyo fell asleep. Kia laid down with her brother and smoothed back his hair. "Family sticks together. No matter what." She kissed her twins forehead and went to sleep. Determined to kill the bastard Hyuuga in the morning.

Gaara sat in his room and sighed. He had just finished talking to Temari and she was as blunt as ever. She'd all but thrown a tantrum when she'd decided that Gaara liked someone. Then when he'd refused to tell her who it was she looked like she was going to blow a hole in the wall. For the sake of the infrastructure he'd been forced to tell her that the one he kissed was Sai. She'd honestly not seemed that shocked to find out it was a guy. More so she was confused about which guy it was. "I though you liked Naruto? You kissed the skinny artist guy?" He sighed once more. Her evaluation did make sense. It appeared he loved or at the very least liked the raven boy. Now there was just the question of what to do about it. Temari's words flashed in his head. "In this world everything can change in an instant. Every second counts. Make the most of it. Even if your afraid to get hurt, it'll hurt more if you did nothing."

He knew she was right. Still whenever he thought of Sai shoving him away he felt a pain in his heart. He'd never known that emotional pain could hurt the same way as physical pain. It was unnerving. Is this how it would feel if the boy openly rejected him? He stayed up most of the night thinking about it. No matter, he was used to not being able to sleep. It was still bothering him as he walked down to breakfast. I won't allow myself to be hurt again. These emotions will pass. I'll just avoid him until they do. The sandstorm should be over soon anyway. With that his decision was made. The smell of cooking filled his nose as he walked towards the kitchen. He could hear the soft shuffling of someone in the kitchen. As he rounded the corner a strange sight greeted his eyes. Sai was wearing an apron in front of the stove and Temari was helping him with whatever he was making. Gaara let out a small grunt of surprise.

Sai turned and noticed him. "Ah. Good morning Kaze- um Gaara-kun." Gaara didn't miss the correction. "Good morning." After some silence Temari piped up. "I was just teaching Sai here how to make sweet omelets and okayu.* But you're a much better cook than I am Gaara. Why don't you teach him?" Sai and Gaara's attention snapped to Temari. Sai started blushing. "Temari-san I'm sure Gaara-san has better things to do than help me." Gaara had figured that the raven didn't want to be around him, but finding out for sure still hurt. Temari didn't seem so deterred. "Nonsense. He's the best cook in the house. Of course he should be the one to teach you." "But-" "Why do I have to bother with something like that?" A look of hurt crossed Sai's face but it was quickly replaced with his usual fake smile. "See Temari-san? Gaara-san doesn't want to help. I'm sure he has more important things to do."

Temari shot Gaara a death glare. Gaara looked down slightly. He hadn't meant to sound so cold. He looked up to see Temari taking off her apron. "Gaara you're helping Sai. I have something to do." "Temari-" "End of discussion." With that his sister left the room. He sighed to himself. Of course she had to meddle once she found out. So much for avoiding him. He looked at Sai and prepared himself. Walking up beside him, he noticed that Sai was just finishing putting the okayu on to boil. He leaned in. "You should turn the heat down now so it cooks properly." Sai jumped at the closeness. Gaara stepped back and looked down guiltily. He didn't notice the light blush dusting Sai's features. I didn't mean to frighten him but it appears that my actions last night have managed to do just that.

Quickly he looked around for something to occupy their time. "Here. Cut up these green onions while I prepare the sweet omelettes." Half an hour. That's all I have to get through is half an hour, and then I can go back to avoiding him. Time seemed to slow as he kept glancing at the clock. Twenty eight more minutes. Twenty seven. Twenty six. Shouldn't Sai be done with those onions by now? He glanced at the boy. Sai had barely started the onions. Not only that he was red and shaking slightly. Does he have a fever? Against his better instincts Gaara reached out. "Sai?" The raven jumped and-"Ouch!" Deep red spilled gently out of pale white skin. Sai looked at it confusedly. Gaara sighed and reached out, taking the pale hand in his own. Sai's gaze drifted to him. "Ano?" "I'm sorry. I made you cut yourself. Here." Gaara brought Sai's hand up to his lips and did what Yashamaru had shown him to do as a child.

He took the bleeding finger in his mouth and licked away the blood. Sai froze and Gaara allowed himself to be lost in the moment. When all too suddenly, that was snatched away from him as well. Sai stood blushing and holding his bleeding hand near his chest. "I-um- I-Kazekage-sama, we're in the kitchen. What if one of the other-" He cut himself off and looked down. We're back to the formalities. Gaara thought sadly. Though he is right. What about the others? What if the wrong person were to walk in. I feel like I'm forgetting something. Gaara looked over Sai stopping just above his hip. There on his stomach, was a blue bruise that hadn't been there yesterday. "What happened there?" Sai looked up at him confused and Gaara pointed at it.

Suddenly Sai turned a very deep shade of red. "I-um-I-I asked Naruto-kun about...ssing... you...he got angry so-" That was when it clicked for Gaara. He's in love with Naruto. How could I forget? They must be lovers. I'm such an idiot! He cut the raven's quiet speech off. He hadn't heard all, but he'd heard enough. "I understand." Sai looked up hopefully. But the face he was met with sent an indescribable pain through his heart. Gaara, whether he knew it or not, had started to cry. "Gaa-" "I apologize. I'll never touch you again. Gomen Sai." With that the red head fled the room. He ran a ways down the hall, colliding with Temari who had come back to check on things. "Gaara wha-" "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO MEDDLE LIKE THIS YOU STUPID SISTER!" The red head was up and running again. "Gaara wait!" "Temari-san!" Temari turned around just in time to avoid being run over again. "Sai what the he-" "Temari-san I apologize for the late notice but can you look after breakfast, I have something to take care of. Gaara-san wait!" Once again Temari was left standing alone. "What the hell was all that about?!"

Gaara ran and ran as fast as he could to get away from the art ninja. Before he knew it he had run into his Kazekage chambers. He hid behind his bed and layed his head in his arms. That's weird. When did I start to cry? He heard a pounding on the door. "Gaara-san!" all too late he realized he hadn't locked it. He turned to flee again. "Ninpou: Choujuu Giga!" Suddenly he found himself wrapped up in ink snakes. He hit the floor and as the footsteps approached him, he panicked. Sand lashed out to capture the raven shinobi, but the boy fought back. Gaara became more aware of his fear of rejection from this man. He closed his eyes tightly willing the sand to make the boy leave. "Ah!" He opened his eyes and the sand stilled. Across the room, Sai was being held against the wall by his sand. His shirt was ripped open from the sand whips and his chest was bleeding. He was panting hard. The ink snakes around Gaara disappeared and Sai looked up at him. "Do you really hate me that much?" No! That's not it! Gaara couldn't speak. He could only stare. The raven chuckled to himself. "Guess I should have known. Kazekage-sama, please release me."

Gaara couldn't move. He felt that selfishness from so long ago start to well up. He wanted to feel alive, not scared. Shukaku was long gone but he could still do something. He stared hard at the man he had bound in his bedroom. "Kazekage-sama?" Gaara crawled closer to the raven boy. The storm is almost over. It's not like I'll ever see him again. He grabbed Sai's hair gently and lifted the boys face closer. "Gaara?" Yes. Keep saying my name like that. Please don't hate me for this. He looked deep into the boys obsidian eyes and leaned forward. "Mmph!" Sai struggled to get free to no avail. I wanted to confess before this happened. Gaara-san this isn't you, please snap out of it! But he couldn't speak. Gaara's lips were crushing his with a force he could not name. "Possession Sai-kun. You seem like the type who would do well with a possessive lover." Kia's words from a long time ago echoed in his mind. That's what this feeling was. This 'possession'.

Gaara had pulled back from the kiss and caught Sai thinking. Now he was angry. "Don't think of him when you're kissing me." he scolded. Sai was confused. What 'him'? "Gaara wha- AH!" Gaara started attacking Sai's neck and his sand was doing unspeakable things to Sai's body. "Ah! Uhng Gaara *pant* ngh! Please!" Sai suddenly found himself on the floor. Gaara begain tearing away his clothes. "Gaara-kun please wait!" Gaara gritted his teeth. What is this horrible feeling? Don't look at me like that! What's with those sympathetic eyes! Stop it! Stop pitying me! Sai was now completely unclothed underneath him. Somewhere along the way the Kazekage had lost his clothes to the pile as well. Gaara reached down and slipped a finger inside the boys tight entrance. "Ah! Gaara! Ngh! Please wait!" He thrust his finger in and out mercilessly, drowning in the sounds Sai was making. Once he felt comfortable he slipped in another and lapped at the wound on Sai's chest. "hic- *sob*" The sounds made his stomach clench and he paused. Sai is crying? He looked up at Sai's face expecting to see tears.

But the face he looked at held no trace of wetness on it. He examined the tinted red face beneath him only to see a droplet of water fall and splash off the boys cheek. Sai looked up at him with sad eyes. "Gaara-kun, please don't cry." Gaara stared at him for a short time then used his free hand to wipe at his eyes. There it was, his tears. I'm- crying? Carefully he got off of Sai. His sand disappeared and he sat back against the wall. He was shaking violently. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Sai winced as he sat up. He was confused. "Gaara-san?" He looked at the object of his affection and reached toward him. Gaara flinched and Sai draw back his hand. Gaara composed himself quickly. "If you want to hit me you can." Sai tilted his head in confusion. "Why would I want to hit you?" Gaara's head snapped up to his level. Tears were streaming down his face and he was hugging his knees to his chest. From Sai's point of view he looked quite childish. "Because I did those horrible things to you!"

Sai looked at the red head in front of him. "Why did you do those things?" Gaara looked to the floor. "I- I don't quite know what it is I'm feeling, but I'm acting very selfish. I don't want him to have you! I want you to belong to me!" Sai gasped. But one thing still wasn't clear. "Gaara-san, who is this 'him' that you keep referring too?" Gaara put his head in his lap. "Aren't you and Uzumaki lovers?" He couldn't help the bitterness that seeped out when he spoke of his friend. At the current moment, he hated him. Sai reached out and gently touched Gaara's shoulder. The red head looked up into soft ebony eyes. "Naruto-kun loves Sasuke-kun and I can never compete with that. Besides, with some help I have figured out that I am in love with someone else." He smiled gently. Gaara glanced down. "But what about that bruise?" Sai went red. "I- uh- think you misunderstood me Gaara-kun. After I talked to Kia-chan she said I should practice confessing with someone."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You need to practice your confession before you do it." Sai looked at the girl. "Then, Kia-chan will you-" "No! You can't practice with a girl when you're asking a man! We need a guy!" She grabbed Sai by his arm and dragged him out of the room. "I can't find Nii-chan but I bet he's in Neji-san's room." She let him go and opened the door. "Oi Nii-san we need your-" She froze. "Gyaaaaaah! Kiyami get the hell out!" The door closed and a loud crash was heard on the other side. "Um, Nii-san is busy right now." Kia-chan blushed. But it did not deter her. "Alrighty Naruto-kun it is!" Sai froze. "Wait wha-" Before he knew it he was being dragged into his shared room with Naruto. "Naruto-kuuuun~ Sai needs your help with something!~" How can she sound so cute when she's so scary? Sai thought. Naruto looked up. "Haa? Why do I have to help him?" "Because Neji-san and Nii-san are busy." Naruto looked at her irritated. "Then why can't you help him?" She smiled but Sai could tell she was getting angry. "Because we need a man." Naruto paled. "Hey wait! Why do you need a guy? Don't involve me in your perverted fantasies Sai you bastard!" Kia snapped. She picked Naruto up by his shirt and pushed him into the wall. "Naruto, you are going to help Sai practice his love confession to Gaara-sama aren't you?" Sai swore he felt the tempurature drop a few degree's as Kia made her threat. "Um- yeah sure, count on me!" Kia put him down. "Great!" she said smiling. "I'll leave you to it then. Oh and Sai-san? It might make it easier if you pretend he's the real thing." With that she left the room. "Gah, I swear she's as scary as Sakura. Her eyes were definitely saying she'd kill me!" Sai turned to Naruto. "I'm sorry Naruto-kun." Naruto sat on his bed. "It's okay Sai. What's this about practicing a love confession?" Sai explained what had happened and Naruto sighed. "Guess I have no choice. I'll practice with you."

Five minutes later.

"What was that?! That's so boring! You're hopeless Sai! Absolutely hopeless." Sai hung his head in defeat. "I'm sorry." Naruto looked mad. "Geez haven't you ever read a romance novel or anything?!" Sai thought about it. He had and that confession had been inspiring. He stood in front of Naruto. "Okay, one more time." He took in a deep breath. "Gaara-san, I'm in love with you. Will you be mine?" "Too flat! You sound like you're reading an obituary! Try again!" Sai took another deep breath What was he doing wrong. "Oh and Sai-san? It might make it easier if you pretend he's the real thing." Kia's words flashed in his mind. "Okay." He tried very hard to concentrate. He opened his eyes and walked toward his 'red head'. Closing his eyes he leaned forward and took the other boys hand in his. "Gaara-san." He breathed, wrapping a hand into the boy's hair. "I'm in love with you." He leaned closer. "So please," So close he could feel the breathe ghosting across his lips. "Be mine." BAM! Sai hit the wall across the room and looked up to see, not his Gaara, but Naruto, blushing and wide eyed. He could already feel the bruise forming on his stomach. "Eh? Um- That's the one, so please stay on your side of the room for the night." "Naruto I'm-" "Sai don't make me hit you again."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So that's what happened. I feel... unpleasant." Sai smiled gently. "I believe the emotion you are looking for is guilty or stupid Gaara-san." Gaara looked down, embarrassed. "So does this mean... you like me?" Sai looked at him. This was the moment he had practiced for. So why couldn't he say it? He'd made sure it would sound perfect. He'd never get this chance again. This was it. It was now or never. He scooted closer to Gaara and gathered his courage. Softly pinning the red head beneath him on the floor he took a deep breath. "Gaara" he whispered. Looking deep into those sea green eyes, he found his courage. "I love you." He placed a hand on the red heads cheek and leaned closer. "Do I even need to ask?" He rubbed a thumb across those thin lips and they slightly parted. He didn't know if he was doing this right, but he hoped to God he was. "Will you be mine?" Gaara stared up at him with a mix of lust and love. There was no question in his mind. His answer was clear. "Yes." Sai leaned in and kissed him.

Hi. So I know I don't really have much lemon but I'm writing this while I'm very sick and my laptop deleted it on me twice, so you get more next time instead. I also know I'm late. But I'm tired. So good night and I hope to see you all again next time.

What will become of Kyo and Neji? Do Gaara and Sai finally have sex? Where the hell is Naruto during all this? All shall be revealed in the next chapter. Bye bye :)
