The new couple kissed. Slowly the kiss deepened. "Ah!" Gaara moaned as Sai bit his lower lip. Sai chuckled at the cute reactions he was getting. He seemed to be getting the hang of this 'love and emotions' thing. He couldn't wait to have his way with the redhead. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Sai and Gaara both looked up. "Gaara if you and the art guy are done breakfast is ready." Gaara blushed and Sai smiled. "Thank you Temari-san." They vaguely heard her grumble 'whatever' as she walked away. Sai looked down and smiled at his new lover. "Shall we get breakfast? We will need our strength for today." Gaara blushed a little harder and nodded. He looked down and his whole face turned red. "We should-um- get dressed first."


Kia and Kyo sat at the table with Naruto. Naruto was being loud as usual. "I'm just saying once we get out of here we need to make up for lost time." Kia smiled. "Naruto-kun have some faith in me and my brother. We will find Sasuke. Give it time." Naruto pouted. "We're running out of time." Kia skillfully changed the subject. "Do you think we'll get to have ramen for dinner tonight." Naruto's eyes lit up. He started chattering about his favorite kinds of ramen and forgot about Kia and Kyo. Kiyami looked at her brother. "Nii-san, aren't you eating?" Kyo looked up at his sister. "Huh? Sorry Kia I missed that." Kia sighed. "You've barely eaten anything." He smiled. "I guess I'm just not hungry." Kia pouted at him. "At least have a little more." I know you're upset about the Hyuuga but you need to keep up your strength. Kyo looked at her surprised, but his features quickly turned sad. Just as he opened his mouth to answer her a voice was heard. "Ohiyo." "Oi, Neji when do we leave! We gotta find Sasuke!" Neji ignored Naruto and looked around for a place to sit. He froze when he saw Kyo. His mouth opened. "Um-" "Exuse me!" Kyo bolted past him out of the room.

Neji turned to go after him but a hand gripped his arm. "Neji-san could I speak with you for a moment." The killing aura coming off of the girl was enough to get even Naruto's attention. Naruto and Neji shuddered. "Um, sure." Kia smiled and led him out of the room. She dragged him down the hall, her nails digging harshly into his skin. He winced in discomfort and she just smirked. She pulled him into what seemed to be a garden. Once the door closed she let him go. He pulled his arm back and rubbed his wrist. "Alright what is it?" She stood with her back to him. "I know what you did last night, Taichou*." His eyes went wide. How did she know. Of course she knows they're telepathic twins. But I thought he had her blocked? "Nii-san came back crying. He was crying so hard he couldn't talk. So he let me read his memories. I know exactly what and how it happened. He's a wreck. He wouldn't even eat this morning." She turned to look at him, her eyes glowing amber. "Is this what you brought me here to say?" She shook her head at him. "No." Suddenly he found himself pinned to the wall. But she was nowhere near him. He looked down to his arms. His wrist were strapped to the wall by dirt. Earth user.

"What I brought you here to say is." She walked up in front of him. "You really hurt Kyo. Don't think I'll let you get away with making him cry like that. With breaking him like that." Her features softened. "You know last night was the first time in our lives that my brother ever felt like his own person. Like he was wanted because of who he is not who we are. You were the first person to make him feel loved." She seemed to be looking off into the distance. Suddenly her features hardened again. "You had no right to make him feel like that and then rip it away. You had no right to play with his feelings then toss them aside. I don't care who you are Hyuuga. You stay the hell away from my brother. And if you ever hurt him like that again." She paused and leaned closer to him. "I'll kill you and leave your dismembered body in the woods for the animals to feast on." And with that she left the room. When the door closed the restraints on Neji's wrists disappeared.

He rubbed his sore wrists. "Alright. I'll definitely have to look out for that one." 'You were the first person to make him feel loved.' The words echoed and Neji felt his heart pang. He shook his head and walked out of the room."Why should I care anyway? It's not like I even like the guy." 'Neji.' The image of Kyo underneath him last night flashed through his head. He blushed. "Damn it. This isn't happening. I don't like him." He walked back to the breakfast room to find Sai and Gaara eating. Sai had his arm around the red head and Gaara was blushing while he ate. Not them too. I need to get it out of my mind. Focus Neji. Once this mission is over you can forget all about it. He sat down to eat. Gaara looked up at him. "The sandstorm is almost over. Your team should be able to leave tomorrow afternoon." Neji nodded at him. "Thank you for your hospitality."

He continued to eat his meal in silence. Eventually Sai and Gaara left the room. He thought back to the night before. What in the world had possessed him to do that? Why had he put his hands on the boy? He thought back to the past few days of the mission. It had definitely started with the first camp. When he'd screamed he was gay and called his sister a bitch and then foolishly went running to save her less than three minutes later. His loyalty was admirable. Through the three days before Sunagakure, Neji and Kyo had bonded in a way that Neji did not know himself capable of. He had laughed freely, made jokes and even got into a childish argument with the boy. When Naruto had screwed up and knocked Neji's rations into a river, Kyo had split his with him. He was kind. He was joyful. He made Neji let his guard down. Why? Why was it that this boy was the only one he completely let his guard down around?

He finished his meal. Maybe talking to him would help. Neji walked through the halls of the Kazekage tower. First he went to the training ground. When he looked in Kiyami was training with Temari. Better leave that alone. He walked slowly back towards the quarters, hoping that he could speak to Kyo alone. As he neared the room he started to feel anxious. He stopped in front of the door and shook his thoughts clear. Just figure out what it is and leave. He raised his hand to knock and stopped. There was noise coming from behind the door. Pressing his ear to the door he turned on his Byakugan. As he peered into the room he felt his heart seize. Kyo was curled up on his bed, crying. From the way his chakra swirled it was clear he had been crying for awhile. As he heard sobs trickle from the boys mouth and watched as his body shook Neji heard another familiar sound. His name. Kyo was crying his name. Is he crying because of me? Neji remembered his original motive and stepping back, raised his hand once again to knock on the door. 'You had no right to make him feel like that then rip it away.' Neji paused.

He stared through the door at the crying form. I did this. He's feeling like this because of me. Me, who was just about to play with his feelings again only for the sake of settling my own. He lowered his hand. 'He was crying so hard he couldn't talk.' Neji stepped back, tears welling up. The boy seemed to have fallen asleep. But Neji could still see the tears streaming down his face. Neji backed away and retreated to his room. I'll avoid as much contact as I can for now. Once this mission is over I'll forget about him. And he can forget about me. He would come up with retrieval strategies for the day and tomorrow they could pack and gather supplies. He tried to focus but his mind kept wandering back to the boy across the hall. And just how much he wanted to say 'sorry'.


Sai softly lowered the red headed boy onto the sheets. Gaara blinked up at his soon-to-be lover. Sai laid down beside the boy and turned to face him. They kissed gently, and the gently kiss turned into a passionate one. Gaara flipped them over and climbed on top of the raven boy. He slid his hand up Sai's bare stomach and the raven boy sighed. Gaara leaned down and dipped his tongue in the boys navel as Sai slid his hand into that beautiful red hair. Slowly Gaara licked up to the boy's chest and rid Sai of his shirt. It was a dance. Slowly, piece by piece their clothing ended up in every direction beside the bed. As long as the restricting fabric was anywhere but on their bodies it was okay with them. Gaara licked Sai down his neck and to the boy's stomach. As he reached the black curls he paused and tried to recall how this happened in Temari's romance novels. Sai blinked down at him curiously before letting out a surprised gasp as Gaara took him in his mouth.

The red head bobbed up and down, flattening his tongue to take in as much as he could. He savored Sai's taste. It was sweet. Unique. He chuckled as he heard soft moans spilling from his lovers lips, and he vibrations nearly sent Sai over the edge. "G-Gaara-san. Mmmh, w-wait a ~ah~ minute." Gaara let go and looked up. "What's wrong? Doesn't it feel good." It should, shouldn't it? This is how Aniki's books said to do it. Sai blushed a brigh red that rivaled Gaara's hair. "I-it does feel good but..." He looked away, embarrassed. Gaara quirked a non-existent eyebrow. "But what?" Sai glanced at his love and looked away quickly, mumbling. Gaara pressed closer. "What?" Sai shifted. "I want you to feel good too." Gaara looked at him, surprised. Then he chuckled.

"We'll both feel good in a minute." Gaara reached over the side of the bed and fished a small vail out of his pants pocket. He quickly uncapped it and poured the liquid onto his fingers. Sai looked at him curiously. "I stole some salad oil from the kitchen when breakfast was over." he explained. When he deemed his fingers slippery enough he placed them at Sai's entrance. Slowly he pushed one in, pumping it gently in and out. Sai seemed to adjust quickly so he added a second finger. Gaara's fingers searched around and he finally found what he was looking for. With a small cry Sai arched off the bed and into Gaara's hand. Sai looked at the red head with wide eye's. "W-what was that?" Gaara chuckled. "You mean this?" He brushed the spot again and Sai moaned loudly. "Yes." he breathed. Gaara leaned in close to him. "Does it feel good?" Sai nodded.

Gaara carefully added a third finger, making sure to brush that spot again and again. When it looked like Sai was about to burst he removed his fingers. Sai glanced at him in obvious disappointment. But he quickly threw his head back into the pillows in silent ecstasy as Gaara gently pushed his slicked member inside of him. Gaara slid in to the hilt and waited for Sai to adjust. Just because the boy was a ninja and could take the pain didn't mean he had to endure it. Sai panted heavily beneath him, and glanced up at his love through dark bangs only to look away shyly. Gaara took the moment to take in the sight of him. The boy's whole body was flushed, with a darker red adorning his cheeks. He was glistening with sweat and his bangs were plastered to his forehead. His smooth chest rose and fell with his rhythmic pants and breaths as he got used to Gaara's length inside of him. He was gorgeous.

Finally Sai made eye contact. "W-what now?" he said nervously. Bracing a hand on either side of the boy Gaara smiled slightly and rolled his hips. Sai gasped and grabbed hold of Gara's forearms. Gaara chuckled. "Now the fun part." He started a slow leisurely pace making sure to angle for just the right spot. He took his time enjoying the sweet heat and lovely sounds coming from beneath him. "Ah~ ooh, G-gaaara-san mmmh please AH faster Nngh!" Gaara smiled down at his lover. "As you wish." He picked up the pace, driving into the form below him over and over again. The room sounded with the music of their love making, bouncing off the walls and landing on lustful ears wishing desperately to hear more. To feel more. Their hands roamed all over, trying to commit each others bodies to memory.

A passionate kiss, a cry for more. As Gaara stroked his lover to completion he found himself chasing close after. "Ga-Gaara!" "Sai." The name was said like and answering call. Sai cried out and thick ribbons spilled out between them. His walls clamped down from the release and brought his red head over the edge with him. Gaara collapsed on top of the raven panting. Pulling out, he shifted so he was no longer crushing his lover and instead cuddling close. Sai brushed Gaara's bangs away from his face. Gaara reached out and kissed the boy. "How was it?" For the first time Gaara got to see Sai's genuine smile. "Amazing."
