"Itachi's dead, Gaara killed him." Naruto said. He looked at Neji. "You would have never gotten it out. You're struggling with it as it is." He turned to Haku. "It has been a little more than a month now. Nobody wanted to tell you. We haven't told anyone for obvious reasons. It was an accident." He put his hand on top of Haku's.
Flashback
Itachi's shallow breathing scared Neji as he sat in the backseat of Sasuke's car cradling his friend's head. Initially the boys had all thought he had died outside but his body continued to convulsive until his breathing evened out slowly. He was as good as dead. No hospital could save him. He had lost way too much blood by now.
Naruto and Gaara had stayed behind. Neji didn't want Gaara around for this and everyone figured Sasuke needed time as they drove to the edge of the city where Itachi's rented storage was located. Neji hoped the cops had cleared out by now. It was reported that Orochimaru's body had been found there and it was a crime scene but Neji didn't know any other place to put Itachi's body if he did pass.
The Hyuuga felt horrible but something in his body was okay. Something was telling him that Itachi didn't deserve a decent burial. He lowered his head at the thought. Everyone deserved a decent burial no matter what crimes they had committed. Neji shook his head. He remembered how Itachi had taken his body and did whatever he had wanted.
Could Neji really blame him? The Hyuuga had done some horrible things to Gaara because he loved him. Was Itachi really at fault? Was love ever considered an excuse for rape? Neji shook his head. He could barely remember anything though.
"How much farther?" Neji asked. He just wanted to get out of that car. He had tried talking to Itachi but the boy's jaw was in pretty bad shape. He would spit up blood every time he tried to speak. Neji kept hushing him. He didn't even know if Itachi was coherent or if he was just reacting to the sounds around him.
"We should be there in about twenty more minutes." Sasuke growled. Neji knew he was upset but he didn't know what was bothering him more. He didn't know if he was upset about the proposed burial of his half dead brother or that Gaara had beaten him to near death, or if Sasuke felt like Itachi had deserved all this. Neji didn't want to ask.
"I shouldn't feel bad for you." Neji whispered to Itachi. The boy's eyes fluttered but never opened. Neji knew he was probably sleeping, maybe lost in a place between life and death. He sighed and looked out the window.
"I don't know why I feel so bad for you. I wish things could have been different between us."
Itachi's left hand lifted up into the darkness of the car and touched the side of Neji's face lightly, leaving blood across the boy's cheek. His hand fell again, seemingly lifeless as it had been before. Neji's head leaned down against Itachi wounded head.
"Maybe in another life this would have worked. Find peace in that."He kissed his friend's forehead and then leaned back against the car's door to relax the rest of the ride.
When they arrived at Itachi's storage there was no one there. Crime scene tape was all over the place but the lot was empty. Sasuke and Neji gently carried Itachi inside and as far back as they could get him. There was a basement compartment near the area where they had found Zabuza. Sasuke opened it up and they walked Itachi down into the darkness.
The basement smelled pretty clean to have been locked up all this time. Itachi was wrapped up in a warm blanket and he was dressed in warm clothes. Before their trip Sasuke had ground up and heated over one-thousand milligrams of Ibuprofen. When the cops found Itachi's body Sasuke wanted plenty of evidence that Itachi might have gotten into a fight and tried to aid himself afterward. He took every precaution. He sterilized a hot needle and injected his brother in the right arm in his biggest blood vessel. They had spent time cleaning up Itachi but blood continued to bleed from his head and mouth even through all the bandages.
Sasuke had taken a lot of time making sure that his brother was in good condition to pass into the next life. He despised Itachi for the horrific things he had done to him and his friends but that was still his brother and when Sasuke had been sick at any point in his life Itachi would have spent his last cent on medicine and anything else Sasuke wanted. The younger Uchiha would make sure the debt was repaid.
When Itachi was settled in the blankets and his head was resting on a soft pillow Sasuke looked up at Neji. "Would you mind giving me some time…" It wasn't a question. It was more of a demand and Neji knew it so without a word he exited the small confined basement and made his way back to the car. He had said his goodbyes on the ride.
Sasuke stroked his brother's hair. "Brother, I hope you'll be comfortable here. You're looking a lot better." He smiled a little. "How am I going to do this without you?" He sighed and then sweet Sasuke disappeared. "I wish you hadn't been so stupid. No one is worth the things you did."He thought about how much Naruto meant to him. The blond was his only reason for happiness since his parents had passed away and now he was losing his only living relative, his only brother. He shook his head.
"I can't blame anyone but you brother. You drove yourself into this mess. I wish you had come to me. I wish you would have just let that bastard Hyuuga fuck up his own life." Sasuke watched Itachi closely. The blood was obviously starting to clot because it was staining the bandages less and less. Sasuke wondered absently if Itachi would survive this. But he realized no one would be able to live with him around anymore. Itachi was better off this way. He was losing his sight and he would have to live with his jaw sown shut for quite awhile.
"When you finally do leave this earth make sure to come say goodbye first, you hear." Sasuke leaned against the wall near Itachi's head and he stayed there like that until he felt no pulse against his brother neck and chest.
With tears still in his eyes he left the basement and locked it tight on his way out. He closed down the storage lights and left for the car.
Neji looked at Sasuke but he tried not to make it obvious. He knew the boy must have passed in there. Sasuke had been sitting at his brother's side for over an hour in which time Neji had chosen to get some much needed rest.
Neji kept to himself the entire ride home but in his mind he was agitated. His mind was racing with memories and guilt. He didn't want to leave Itachi like that but what other choice did they have? It was either take Itachi to the hospital for him to blame Gaara and have the redhead end up in jail or it was to let Itachi die alone. Neji knew he couldn't live without Gaara and even if he could he would never choose to. Not ever again.
(End Flashback)
The look on Haku's face was shocking. He looked horrified and confused. He kept shaking his head as he covered his mouth. "What do you mean? That can't be. Last time I checked everyone was fine. I just thought Itachi had gone away. Why didn't you tell me?!" He shouted more so at Neji than at Naruto.
"I didn't want to see you in anymore pain. Things got completely carried away. After what happened between me and Itachi Gaara overreacted." Neji leaned passed Naruto and stroked Haku's face. "None of us wanted you to overreact."
"Overreact? Overreact?! Your deranged boyfriend just killed my best friend-"
Naruto jumped on top of Haku and covered the boy's mouth. "Quiet down or I'll give you a reason to scream." Naruto's blood was boiling. No one knew any of what Gaara had been feeling that night. He acted on impulse alone for someone he loved. Naruto knew took much of what that was like.
Many of the people in the café turned around to watch the scene so Naruto eased off Haku and righted his clothes. Haku had tears in his eyes. He didn't even know what to say. He scooted out the other side of the booth ready to walk out but Neji quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him into a small grasp.
"I don't understand you," Neji said, "Itachi did so many horrible things to you. I'm upset about all this too but I'm better for him being gone. Why are you making such a big deal out of this? It was an accident Haku, I swear it." Neji whispered in his ear. The femi looked up at him, tears still fresh in his eyes.
"We're no better than he was. Gaara took his life! He was sick Neji. He needed help. He didn't need a ticket to the grave." Haku pulled away and turned his back to Neji. "You're supposed to be my best friend. How could you keep something this important from me? Gaara's always got you on such a short leash. That's why you left him the first time." The attitude in his voice was like venom.
"Listen to me," Neji jerked Haku around. "I did this to protect you. It has nothing to do with Gaara. If you want to blame someone then blame me. I instructed everyone to keep everything from you." He hugged Haku from behind. "We're different people now but I still care about you and I don't want to see you hurting. You're better for Itachi being gone." He let go of Haku. "Please…sit back down and have a coffee.

Sasuke had a total of 45 days to get all his and Itachi's things out of his apartment. He wanted to stay but he just couldn't afford to anymore. He didn't even know how Itachi had been making payments for the rent or the electricity. He had to have been getting money from somewhere. Sasuke thought for a minute that he might pick up a job but he had no idea where he could find one in such a short time. He had ten days left to clean out the apartment.
He rooted through all of Itachi's things and found letters the boy had written to various people. There were letters to his parents, Orochimaru, Sasuke, Haku, and Neji. Sasuke sighed, there were so many reports from therapists, doctors, and optometrists. Itachi was supposed to be seeking help for his eyes but the boy had not been making any of his appointments.
All the letters to Neji were so sad. Itachi had liked him for so long, before Haku had liked him, before Gaara had liked him, even before Neji's father had passed. Some of these letters were dated back to elementary school. Sasuke hadn't even noticed the signs. He wondered why Itachi had never said anything. Surely Neji would have accepted him had he said something earlier. Sasuke shook his head, it was way too late for would have's now.
Sasuke put all Itachi's things back in the box he found them and began to leave his brother's room. Just before he reached the frame of the door he remembered something. Itachi had said he would be putting money away for college that's why they were on such a budget. Sasuke wondered where he had been putting the money away.
He hurried toward the closet and began throwing everything out. Once he got to the back of the closet he found a small wooden door built into the wall. He pulled the door open and found a safe.
Dammit. He had no idea what the combination would be. Itachi wasn't the type to share. Sasuke gritted his teeth. This would just have to wait until later. If he was late to Naruto's house then the blond would never forgive him. He packed the closet back up and left in a hurry. He would have one of the boys help him break the safe later.
The next day was Naruto's favorite holiday celebration. He loved October. His birthday came around and he got to dress up to do something stupid with all of his friends. Sasuke wasn't the least bit interested in Halloween, however. All he did was volunteer to pass out candy to all the rotten kids. He didn't want to dress up no matter how much Naruto begged.
"At least wear a creepy hat or something. You're going to be the only person not dressing up! Saaaasssuuukkkeee!" Naruto whined as he stood in the bathroom mirror. "Please, I'll do something extra special for you later." He was happy to see Sasuke's eyebrow raise at the invitation.
"I'll make you a deal." Sasuke grabbed Naruto around the waist from behind and nibbled on his neck. "You let me in right now and I'll put some fangs in and growl at the kids." He kissed his way across the back of Naruto's neck and the blond shivered as he smiled.
"You have to go full Dracula if you want me right now." Naruto whispered. Sasuke grinned and closed the bathroom door. He was going to get his way even if that meant him having to dress up. He thought he'd be a damn good Dracula.
Neji shook his head as he walked into the already decorated house. He hated Halloween but he dressed up every year anyway. This year he was Erik from The Phantom of the Opera. He looked absolutely dashing in his half mask and traditional black tux and cape. He decided to wear his hair loose tonight. He was feeling a bit daring and he wanted to look good for Gaara. The redhead had always said he loved to see Neji with his hair down.
Gaara wasn't the type to dress up but by the time Neji had arrived Gaara had dressed up as nicely as he could in corporate business attire. The boy's hair was long enough for a small ponytail which he added gel to and brushed back. Gaara wore thin rimmed, squared framed glasses the color of a soft blue to bring out his eyes. His slacks were tailored to his every inch and his white button-down shirt was pressed finely against his defined chest. He also wore black suspenders and a beautiful red rose in his right chest pocket.
Neji looked on in awe. He had never seen Gaara like this before. Every muscle in the Hyuuga's body tightened as his length hardened. He grinded his teeth and held back a groan. When Gaara spotted him, Neji immediately pulled his cape in front of him to hide his rising excitement. There would be no way he would be able to explain to Gaara that the very sight of him had caused such a fierce boner.
"You look…" Neji couldn't even find the words.
"Ridiculous?" Gaara finished for him. The boy was completely uncomfortable but he knew that Neji liked the way he looked. It was rare for Neji to be speechless. Gaara smiled to himself. He had obviously picked out the right costume. He had been thinking of a way to impress Neji for days. That and he also wanted to upstage that bastard Haku. Gaara decided he would not go as far as dressing in drag even if Haku would.
Neji had to take a second to chuckle. "You look very handsome, Mr. Sabaku." Neji leaned down to his younger and nipped at his lips before he moved to whisper in his ear, "My cock is waiting to knock on your door. I do hope you'll let me in." He felt Gaara grab his length through his slacks and he blushed at the boy's forwardness. Gaara grinned up at him and kissed his neck.
"I have a prior engagement, Mr. Hyuuga. Sneak over to my house after midnight, my boyfriend will be sleep by then." Gaara quickly turned his back to Neji and leaned his head against the boy's chest. "Don't be late." He started to walk off but he Neji grabbed him and slammed him into the wall.
The Hyuuga looked like a hungry wolf as he licked his lips and bit down on Gaara's shoulder right through his shirt. The younger boy threw his head into the wall and grabbed Neji around the neck. He squeezed as hard as he could until he older boy let go and then they both leaned over panting heavily. Neji smiled. He and Gaara hadn't played like this in ages. He missed it.
"I can't stop myself from loving you."
"I'm not in this for love Mr. Hyuuga. So if that's where you're headed stop right now. I'm taken."
"You can't love two men?" Neji pleaded.
"I could do no such thing." Gaara quickly replied.
"Then choose me." Neji got down on his knees and leaned his head against Gaara's chest. Gaara stroked Neji's hair and leaned back into the wall. He felt like such a woman these days. Neji was always playing mind games with him. He wondered where they would even be if the boy hadn't cheated on him for so long.
"Let's runaway." Neji got up and looked up into Gaara's eyes. The younger boy returned his gaze. "Marry me Gaara," Neji took off his half mask, tilted his head and kissed Gaara's lips. Gaara's heart crashed against his chest then he felt a familiar sort of pleasurable pain. This was different then their usually role play. Gaara could hear the desperation in Neji's voice. The Hyuuga was no longer trying to amuse him.
"Neji…"
"I won't live another second without you. Marry me." Neji grabbed Gaara's waist and pulled him as close as he could. "I want to wake up with you every day." Neji tore Gaara's glasses off, pulled apart his ponytail and ruffled the boy's hair. "You're the only one that I want. I'm horrible at this, I know but you're the only part of me that I can't hate. My whole world is wrong without you and I consistently find myself desperate for your affections, for your time, for your touch. No longer are my dreams a portion of my reality. I don't have to dream about you to be next to you anymore." Neji searched Gaara's eyes but the boy hadn't moved, hadn't made a single sound.
Neji felt a stab in his chest. "Don't make me beg." His eyes were searching for an answer. He put his hand on Gaara's face and stepped closer. There was something wrong. Gaara should have answered, he should have at least said something by now. Did he still think Neji was playing with his emotions?
"You're being clingy. It isn't you, Neji." Gaara pushed the Hyuuga away and folded his arms. "What's wrong with our relationship now that you have to ask me to marry you?" Gaara snorted. He looked slightly angry after his question. He didn't know what was irritating him but he felt astrangeness in his body that would not let him answer peacefully.
"We don't have a relationship right now." Neji almost shouted.
"Then why ask me to marry you?"
"BECAUSE I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU."
Gaara stayed silent. He knew it had taken all of Neji's pride to have said all that stuff. He felt like such a prick now. He had always wanted Neji to be softer with him, to treat him like he meant more to him than anyone else. Inside, his heart was melting into a gooey mess of love but he knew the truth of what Neji was asking.
"I do love you, Neji but you're not the Neji I want to marry." Gaara pushed off the wall and headed for the other side of the house. As much as he wanted to say yes, as much as he wanted to run away with Neji…he just couldn't….not yet.
Neji slammed the wall with his fist. He had poured his heart out, his poor aching heart and Gaara had shoved it in his face. The pain seeping into his body slid into his bones. Gaara didn't want to marry him. The realization of his fears was choking the life out of him. He turned around with anger in his eyes. How dare that damned redhead reject him so easily? But then Neji's eyes grew sad. He's probably worried about me cheating, mistreating him. If he were to marry me now, so soon after my relationship with Haku, he would be trapped in a world of doubt. Can I really blame him? Neji sighed. This was turning into a horrible night but Neji refused to give up. He would take Gaara home and make love to him until the boy couldn't resist him anymore. He would make Gaara marry him. That was his only goal now.

Naruto's party was not much of a party as much as it was his group of friends standing and talking while they passed out candy to the younger kids in the neighborhood.
Naruto decided he was going to be a kinky fox so he wore a leather vest with no shirt, painted some whiskers on and wore some ears. He was torn between wearing a girl's skirt and leather pants but he decided on the pants since his ass looked amazing in them. He had a whip in his closest that he strapped to his belt loop and then he wore combat boots. He oooooed and ahhhhhed in the mirror until Sasuke showed up behind him in his last minute attempt at Dracula. Sasuke only wore a cape and put in some fangs. He said he would be Dracula but he was not going to wear makeup, ever.
"What's the point of me dressing up all sexy if you're going to half-ass it?" Naruto whined at Sasuke as he shook his ass in his leather pants against Sasuke's crotch.
"I already had you once today, don't make me force you." Sasuke pushed his hands through Naruto's hair.
"Forcing me would be a bit hard don't you think?" Naruto cooed. "Like I wouldn't just give in like I always do." He twisted around and skipped off, Sasuke following and shaking his head. The two met up with Neji and Gaara who were sitting on the porch near the side of the house drinking soda and eating candy…very obviously ignoring each other's presence.
Naruto had also invited over Haku, Zabuza because he had been feeling bad for the feminine boy. He and Neji had promised to keep Haku company for the next few weeks while he tried to get over the fact that everyone was seeing Itachi's ghost around. Haku decided that if he had seen the ghost then maybe Itachi was holding a grudge against him. He wanted to be in the company of people if that was the case.
When Haku arrived he was dressed up as French maid. He had garters on under his skirt, his hair was pulled up into a high ponytail, which he had curled with a hot iron, and his flat chest had been stuffed with cotton to create the illusion of breasts. He wore a little white apron and black laced stilettos. He wanted to make sure that every inch of his male identity was covered and he did just that. No one had recognized him aside from Zabuza being at his side. The Momochi wore his football uniform. He wasn't the least bit interested but he accompanied Haku because he didn't very much like the Hyuuga.
"Happy Halloween!" Haku shouted as he hugged everyone and they all eyed him. "Whoops!" He leaned over to pick up his big hooped earring which had fallen to the ground. As he leaned over a clear view of his perfectly shaped ass was revealed and Neji turned away first coughing and trying to hide his blush. Naruto giggled and Sasuke rolled his eyes while Gaara just stared. He thought his ass was just as nice, maybe even better. He lightly chuckled at the thought that Neji was pounding his ass and not Haku's anymore.
Once all the kids started coming by Neji cuddled up next to Gaara and began whispering things into the boy's ear. Gaara occasionally blushed but he never responded to Neji's advances. Soon it was becoming clear to everyone that the two were having some type of disagreement. Still, Neji continued his torment, making Gaara as uncomfortable as he could by touching him, kissing him, and sitting as close to him as humanly possible.
Naruto and Sasuke fought over who to give the best pieces of candy to. They were having a secret contest over which girl and which boy had the best costumes.
"I'm going to kidnap one of these little girls." Naruto sighed. "They're so adorable in their little princess costumes."
"You sound like a rapist." Sasuke said. "You shouldn't be talking about kidnapping little 6 year old virgin girls Naruto," Sasuke leaned over, "especially since you're gay. I didn't know you were the least bit interested in a vagina."
"I'm not interested!" Naruto shouted! "I just have this sort of woman's biological clock thing going on." He folded his arms and pouted. "There's nothing wrong with wanting to be a dad one of these days.
"You're sixteen Naruto. This isn't MTV and you're not a girl. You can be sixteen but you can't be pregnant." Sasuke yawned. "Plus, I don't want kids anyway." He added and received a gasp-like shrieking eeep sound from Naruto. The older boy turned to the blond to see his lip poked out and his eyes near tears.
"What?" Sasuke asked. He knew he had hit a soft spot with Naruto. It was no secret that the younger boy would want to be a parent someday. He probably wanted to give some child the life he could never have with his own parents.
"You don't want to have babies with me?" Naruto put on his biggest puppy-dog eyes and forced the beginning of tears. He wanted kids one day even if he had to adopt because of his relationship with Sasuke but he never thought the other didn't share his feelings.
"First of all it's humanly impossible. Second, no." Sasuke didn't want kids at all. He had an amazing relationship with both his mother and father but they had died. Sasuke didn't want to do that to any child. It had been so hard on him. He wasn't the patient type anyway.
"But I always wanted to adopt a little girl and name her Uchiha Satsuki." Naruto admitted. He wanted to slap himself for talking so much but this needed to be talked about. He couldn't be with Sasuke if they weren't going to have kids. He couldn't go his whole life without having children or at least one.
"You're giving your imaginary daughter my name?" Sasuke raised his eyebrow. "How long have you been thinking about doing this exactly?"
Naruto laughed and waved his hands in defense. "Not that long I swear. Just a couple of years." He accidently said. He immediately covered his mouth and started shaking his head. He couldn't believe he let that last part out. No one was supposed to know about his constant day dreaming about his cute little family with Uchiha Sasuke.
Sasuke almost found himself bushing. He was a little honored at that so he leaned up against Naruto's shoulder and put his hand on the boy's thigh, giving it a little squeeze. "You would be an adorable mother, Uchiha Naruto." Sasuke smiled when his blond shivered with embarrassment.
Gaara rolled his eyes. Everyone seemed to be concerned with marriage and babies. He tried not to look at Neji who he knew was looking at him. Gaara smiled to himself though. Would he really mind being a Hyuuga? Would he mind?
If Neji was asking him to marry him was he really interested in committing to the boy? Gaara had to think about it. He didn't think it was such a bad idea but then he remembered how Neji had always said he would never hurt him. Then the thoughts of Neji fucking Haku started forming up. A panic set in and he felt despair wash over him. He wondered if he would ever be free of that.

The night was slow but the boys had fun. They had only been passing out candy for a couple of hours when the lights around the house started to flicker. Naruto growled, thinking he had pulled-in too many things at once. He did have a lot of lights pulled up to the house's electrical current.
"Well we might have to cut this short." Gaara said. "I have things to do anyway. I need to get out of these clothes." He looked at Neji and wondered if the boy still wanted to take him home with him but they were both interrupted by Naruto who shrieked as the porch light went off and then quickly came back on. All the boys looked up at the surging light. It was starting to get very creepy outside as a chill passed by the house.
"I think we'd better move into the den. I don't wanna be out here anymore. Movie time!" Naruto screamed as he picked up his bowl of candy and rushed inside first. Iruka had gone out with his own friends and wouldn't be back until morning so everyone was going to sleep over.
Haku got up last as he was busy looking out into the neighborhood. He could have sworn he saw someone standing there but it was Halloween and all kinds of creeps were outside. He got up to go inside as well but then he saw a guy in a mask standing behind the tree in Naruto's yard. He thought quickly that he should get inside and turned to walk in but someone grabbed him covering his mouth. He was snatched up so quickly that no one had noticed behind all the laughing.
After everyone was inside Zabuza turned to Haku to ask if he was ready to leave but the femi was nowhere to be seen. Zabuza looked curiously out the open door. He knew Haku hadn't gone in before him. He turned and looked out the door to where the porch swing was, no Haku.
The femi was up against a tree a ways down the street. Someone was holding him close and squeezing his neck. The man threw Haku face first into the tree and stood behind him. Haku groaned into the man's hand with a cry. The man leaned up against the young boy and breathed down his neck.
"Mmmmm." He flipped up the back of Haku's skirt and grabbed a handful of the boy's exposed ass. "Would you deliver a message for me dearest Haku?" The man's voice was raspy and deep. He nuzzled Haku's ear and licked the side of the boy's face. The boy nodded, hoping the man would just let him go.
"Haku!"
The boy heard his friends calling but the man held him tighter and squeezed his neck. Haku could feel his breath stuck in his chest. He couldn't breathe and he feared he would pass out but he dare not make a sound against the man's wishes.
"Tell the Hyuuga, and only the Hyuuga, that I am looking for him. Tell him to meet me at the warehouse where he buried Itachi tomorrow. If you don't I will keep showing up at your house. I will keep grabbing you up and the next time I see you...I will have my way with you over and over until I've had my fill." He grabbed Haku's cock and squeezed it tight before he let go and disappeared down the street just in time for Neji to come across Haku behind the tree.
"Haku?" Neji reached for him but the boy he slid to the ground and cried. Neji stepped away as Zabuza helped him up. Neji looked down the street and saw someone sprinting away. He thought of Itachi for a moment. There was no way he could still be alive. Who the hell would just grab Haku up like that and then disappear without a word? It couldn't have been Lee either. Neji had personally spoke with him and he seemed overly apologetic about the nasty things he had done.
"Who was that?" Neji asked but Haku just looked up at him and didn't say anything.

After Haku had calmed down he insisted that Neji take him home. Zabuza had made a fuss but Haku promised that it was important and he just needed to talk to Neji. The feminine boy waited outside in Neji's care as the Hyuuga spoke with Gaara. The redhead was furious. Here Neji was asking Gaara to marry him and not a few hours later he was leaving the party with the very person that had split them up before.
"It's important." Neji tried. "I swear I'll be back within the hour to get you and then we'll go home together. I know you're upset but someone deliberately tried to attack him. Don't you think it's important we find out what's going on here?" Neji put his hand on Gaara's shoulder to reassure him but Gaara backed away from his touch.
"Do whatever you want. You're going to despite what I say anyway right?" Gaara turned away. "Don't bother coming back for me. I'm going to stay with Naruto. I need some time to think anyway." He walked off and Neji called after him but he disappeared into Naruto's room before he slammed the door. Neji shook his head and sighed. Gaara was as difficult as ever. Neji just turned and walked out the door. He passed Zabuza on the way to his car and the Momochi put his hand on the Hyuuga's chest.
"I'm quite aware what kind of relationship Haku has with you. Despite that I allow him to continue seeing you because I know he loves you. With that said, don't think I'm going to allow you to come between us. You hurt him and if you ever do it again you'll have more to be afraid about than just a love-sick Uchiha." Zabuza moved aside and let Neji walk right by him. He didn't have much to say about it. He did feel bad though. Both Gaara and Zabuza seemed to think that the two friends were bound to do something stupid again. Neji knew he was in love with Gaara and he wouldn't do anything to screw that up again. As long as he and Haku had someone else they would never need to be with one another.
Neji got in the car and started it without a word. He didn't even look at Haku. Their relationship was so strained these days. Neji looked down at the boy's bare thighs and remembered how many times he had been between them. He wanted to kick himself but when he thought about how it had been in comparison to what it was like with Gaara. He smiled. Haku was never enough for him. Neji constantly continued to be hungry with Haku. With Gaara, Neji was always satisfied and happy. He could sleep peacefully next to Gaara.
"I miss you. I don't see you enough these day." Haku said quietly.
"I miss you too."
"We used to be different," Haku touched Neji's thigh, "before we started sleeping together. You were one of my really good friends. I can't even touch you without you reacting to me negatively. Don't you miss the way we used to be?" He squeezed Neji's thigh but the Hyuuga pushed the other boy's hand away and looked at him for a quick second.
"Don't make this awkward, Haku." Neji rolled his eyes. Had Haku always been this aggressive with him? Neji thought back to how the two of them had developed feelings for each other in the first place. Haku was always so touchy. He hugged Neji, jumped on him, played with him, and flirted with him constantly. Neji thought he had wanted someone so full of life back then. He thought he and Haku would be good friends but then they slept together and Neji thought he had fallen in love with someone else.
"I'm not trying to make this awkward. Don't you see?" Haku began to cry. "I miss you. I miss my best friend. Gaara doesn't want you around me. He hates me."
"Can you blame him?" Neji shouted and surprised the other boy. "I was having sex with you, constantly, behind his back." Neji sighed. "Don't do this, please. The two of us are having enough problems. Don't tell me you still have feelings for me. I can hear it in your voice." Neji drove without another word. He didn't even look at Haku. He knew the boy stilled loved him. Maybe somewhere deep inside Neji still had feelings for Haku too but it wasn't love. He only lusted after the feminine boy because he was something new but Neji couldn't love the two of them, someone always got hurt, him included.
When they finally arrived at the place Haku had been staying at Neji got out of the car and walked the boy up the stairs. They stood in front of Haku's door both looking at one another. Neji stepped up to him and hugged him. Haku would always be one of his dearest friends but that was all he could ever be. He pulled away and saw the sadness in the boy's eyes. He would just have to let Neji go. Neji put his hand under Haku's chin and cupped his face. He leaned against Haku and lowered his head, kissing the boy just so slightly.
"We can't be like this anymore." Neji whispered. You are an amazing person. You're beautiful and kind and I've had some of my happiest times with you but I'm not the one for you. I came to you as a cheater. I'm no good for you, Haku. I can't be this guy you want." Neji frowned and pulled away. Haku quickly put his hands on Neji's chest and looked up into his eyes.
"Neji I lo-
"I am going to marry Gaara." Neji cut him off. He couldn't stand to hear the boy tell him he loved him. It wasn't fair to Haku if Neji let him feel like he had another chance. Haku pulled away and covered his mouth. He never thought that things with Neji and Gaara would go that far. He had always thought that Neji would just out grow Gaara. He might have secretly hoped that he and Neji might be back in each other's arms at a later time.
"Oh." Haku said. His tears flowed quickly. "Congratulations…" He whispered. "I never thought I'd see the day when Hyuuga Neji got married. Gaara must be someone special. I never even knew you wanted to get married. I mean, to a guy…" He sort of smiled even though he was still crying. Haku shook his head and hugged himself.
"The guy that grabbed me earlier, he said for you to meet him at the place where you buried Itachi tomorrow. He told me not to tell anyone but you. He didn't give a time or anything. He only said that if you didn't show up that he would be back for me…not that I'm that important to you these days."
"You are important to me. You're still my best friend and I love you as my friend. There's just a line that neither of us should cross anymore." He stroked the side of Haku's face. "Will you go with me?" Neji asked. He didn't want to put Haku in anymore danger but he couldn't take Gaara or anyone else seeing as how they were not supposed to tell anyone. He wondered what all this could be about. Surely Itachi hadn't been the one to grab Haku and ghosts don't talk and they surely can't manifest enough energy to grab someone and drag them, could they? Itachi sure did have a grudge against Haku though. It could be possible.
"I'll go with you, Neji."

When Neji arrived at the warehouse the next day he found a tall man standing outside of the closed storage. He instructed Haku to stay in the car in order for him to be safe. Neji had called Gaara to tell him he would be out of town but the boy kept ignoring all Neji's calls so he went ahead and left.
As Neji got closer he realized who was standing in front of the storage, it was Hoshigaki Kisame. He almost growled as he should have known. Itachi and Kisame had become strangely close over the past couple of years.
"I assume you're the bastard who fondled up Haku last night." Neji glared. He had never cared much for Kisame. The boy was an eye-sore. He wondered why Itachi had ever even been interested in him. Kisame tilted his head and showed his uneven jagged teeth to Neji.
"And so what if I am? He shouldn't be flaunting himself like that if he doesn't want to be touched." He shrugged and then frowned at Neji. He hated the Hyuuga. It had been his fault that Kisame had not been allowed to be a part of the good looking gang, not that Kisame was good looking anyway.
"How did you know where I had left Itachi's body?" Neji asked. He would rather get this over with quickly. The other boy started walking to his car and as he did he looked back at Neji and motioned for the boy to follow him. Neji began walking after he looked back at Haku and hushed him.
"Would you mind taking a ride with me? In the event that Itachi had gone missing he instructed me to take you somewhere and show you something. It was very obvious that one of you was the one that had killed him. I come out to this store once a month to move my things around. I found Itachi there in the basement, blood still fresh. I took his body with me."
"Is that where we're going?" Neji asked. He pulled out his phone and texted Haku. He instructed him not to leave the car. If he wasn't back in an hour to call the cops and have them trace his phone. The feminine boy replied with a simple okay and sat up in his seat to watch Neji drive off with his assailant.
Neji sat still, he didn't ask any question. He wondered what the hell was going on. Kisame was hiding something and Neji feared it was something he really didn't want to see.
The house that Kisame stopped in front of was rather big. He stopped the car and turned off the engine.
"My mother left this house to me. I've been staying here every other weekend." He started to get out of the car. "It's been a little over a month since I found Itachi's body. You should know you're a horrible person to have done something so horrible. But even in his death he left you with comfort.
Neji felt so confused. "What do you mean?"
Kisame didn't answer. He just got out of the car and had Neji follow him. When the Hyuuga walked up the stairs an eerie feeling passed through his body. He felt anxious and nauseous and dizzy.
The house was absolutely beautiful. The carpets were all covered by Persian rugs and the walls were a warm crème color. Neji marveled at all the expensive paintings and tapestries. He could point out vases and figurines from several different countries. The house was like a huge museum but it still had a homey feel to it.
Kisame walked down a very narrow dark hall. Here, the concrete walls were replaced with fine wood and cases upon cases of old historic books. The farther down the hall they got the louder a familiar sound grew. It almost sounded like a woman moaning in pleasure. Neji squinted his eyes at the sound. He wondered what was behind all the doors he had passed in the hall. They all seemed to be fake but there was definitely something strange about the things he was hearing. The moans were in perfect sync with distinct pounding.
Neji thought he might be in a very upscale whore house but he could only hear one woman and she sounded like she was thoroughly enjoying herself. Her voice was meek and high pitched. She almost sounded familiar and Neji suddenly had a horrible thump in his chest. Something told him that he knew exactly who was being pounded so forcefully.
Kisame opened the door and stepped in and Neji did the same. Once he was in the room his jaw fell to the floor. There was his cousin Hinata on her hands and knees being fucked right in front of his eyes. He breasts bounced with her body and her long beautiful raven hair was knotted up in partners hand as he slammed into her backside over and over.
Behind her on his knees with a stone cold look on his face was Itachi. He looked at Neji with the coldest eyes as he continued to move inside the boy's cousin. The look of horror in Neji's eyes was the same look that developed on his face. He shook in terror as he imagined the dead coming back to life. Neji growled at the sight before him. He wondered if Hinata had been kidnapped too but she didn't sound like she was in an uncomfortable state. Neji was about to move but Kisame pushed him back.
Hinata had her eyes squeezed shut as she called out Itachi's name and begged for him not to stop. Neji thought he was going to be sick. He turned his head and searched the floor for an explanation. He had seen Itachi dead, hadn't he? Here he was, fine. Eyes clear as day, jaw opened and groaning at his current piece of ass.
"She's not as good as you were but her skin is smooth like yours and other than her breasts I find her body more than adequate for your temporary replacement." Itachi threw his head back and cursed loudly at his climax. He pulled out of the girl and flipped her over on her back then he leaned down and kissed her gently.
"Hinata are you crazy?! Don't you know what he's done to all his friends? To me?" Neji looked on in disbelief as he cousin lay naked under his best friend. What on earth was Itachi doing alive and how had he healed so quickly?
"I can see the concern on your face." Itachi left the Hyuuga girl's body and sat up to stretch. He pulled on a loose pair of sweatpants and walked over to Neji, his black hair whipping his back. He stood in front of the Hyuuga and glared.
"You left me there to die. You must be wondering how I got out and how I ended up bedding this beautiful maiden, in place of you of course." He forced Neji to sit on the edge of the bed and he stood in front of the boy.
"Go and wash up." Itachi instructed Hinata. Hinata nodded and stood. She walked passed Neji covering her body with shame on her face. Neji grabbed her by the arm and she flinched but he let her go and she ran off to the door and out the room.
"You see Neji, when you locked me in the storage you and Sasuke failed to note that I had been using that basement as a hideout for months. I had every essential item I needed in there, including medicine, food, water, and even a prepaid cell phone which I used to phone my dear friend and loyal partner, Kisame." Itachi looked over to him and the older boy grinned as he bowed unashamed.
"After a week in a private hospital I was flown three towns over where I had my eyes treated with recovery tissue. I got shots in my eyes for 3 weeks before I could see. The first person I saw waking up was little sweet Hinata accompanied by Kisame. Both of them had been very concerned about me when I had gone missing. Obviously Hinata never told you about us. I had been sleeping with her for quite some time. She was as close to you as I could get and in exchange for a good fuck she let me pretend she was you as often as I wanted. "
"This is making no sense. You were practically dead. I held you in my arms for over two hours. You were barely hanging on." Neji ignored all the mess about Hinata. He didn't care about any of that. Itachi was alive for God sake!
"I have been taking drama for 4 years. This was all a part of my plan to get pitied enough into having my eye surgery done for free. I just had to pit the two scorned lovers against each other. I knew Gaara would over react." He flipped his sweat-drenched hair." It was either you who was going to try and hurt me or him but I never thought he had the guts to actually beat me with a metal bar. It hurt, a lot." He absently massaged his jaw.
"You…raped me" Neji shook his head. "You killed Orochimaru!" Neji stood up and pushed Itachi back. "You've been screwing with everyone's life just so you could see again! What kind of fucked up person are you?"
"I killed Orochimaru because he beat me, and raped me, and abused me every chance he could get." Itachi shrugged. "It was a crime of passion really. I did care about him but not as much as he cared about me." Itachi seemed so careless about everything he said.
"And Haku?" Neji shook with anger. Was this all really happening? What on earth had anybody done to Itachi to make him this evil? The fucking audacity of this prick! Neji was fuming in front of the boy. He was someone completely different than the friend Neji had known for so many years.
"I never really cared for Haku. I knew he loved you so I had to do something about that. I was never going to kill him. I just needed it to look like that."
And me?
"I never loved you, nor was I interested in you. We've been best friends all our lives." Itachi almost laughed but his character was still very much the same. "You don't believe that I don't love you, do you? I just wanted to fuck you." He leaned down to Neji and pushed him back onto the bed. "Even though I just had Hinata, it doesn't mean I can't have you too." He laid atop the Hyuuga boy and breathed over him.
"Do something for me." Itachi begged as he gently nuzzled Neji. His whole demeanor seemed to change. His eyes were soft and his slight smile was inviting. Neji wanted to move but his mind was so completely jumbled. He felt frozen and then he felt as if he wanted Itachi to…
"Do something for me, Neji. Wake up now."
"Ah!" Neji sat up screaming. It was a dream? He sat up in the darkness of his room as sweat soaked his face and bare chest. He got up out of his bed and ran down the hall. He blared a knock on Hinata's door and she opened it half asleep.
"Neji, is everything alright? You look like something horrible has happened." She rubbed her eyes and Neji hugged her quickly.
"Please make me aware of something." He asked as he held her. "Are you having a relationship with anyone? Have you been seeing anyone?" He sounded desperate. Hinata pulled away quickly and tied her robe a little bit tighter. She shook her head and looked down embarrassed.
"I haven't been seeing anyone, lately." She responded.
"What's lately?!" He grabbed her shoulders and shook her firmly. His eyes were as wide as ever. He hadn't known Hinata to be interested in anyone other than Naruto when they were in grade school but her crush was short lived when she ended up liking someone else.
"Well…I…"
"It's important."'
"Well I had been spending a lot of time with Kisame because he's on the swim team with me. We weren't really seeing each other but I… I'm afraid you'll be upset with me, cousin." She bit her lip as she looked at him.
"Hinata…"
"I had a short romance with Uchiha Sasuke not too long ago…before he and Naruto got together." She looked away. "He told me he only wanted to make Naruto jealous but he never really told anyone and neither have I…until now."
"And no one else? You're not harboring any untouched feelings for his brother?"
"What did he tell you?" Hinata asked as she looked away with shame."
"You slept with him?!"
"Neji…I…"
"I can't believe you were fucking my best friend and didn't tell me."
"It wasn't like that. He was very lonely, as was I."
"So you fucked him?"
"Neji please. He will be heartbroken if he finds out you know. He has such a big crush on you. He often mentioned you."
"So you knew he was using you because he couldn't have me?"
"Aren't we all using each other anyway?"
Neji was shocked. Just who the hell was this girl and what had happened to his sweet innocent Hinata?
"But you haven't seen him lately, obviously." Neji asked.
"No, I'm afraid not. I told him I might be in love with him and he told me that we should not see each other anymore. He said he could only love one Hyuuga and even though I knew that from the start I still let my feelings get in the way. It was only by accident. He and Kisame had been spending a lot of time together last year right before summer break. He often showed up at our swim practice."
Neji's head began to hurt. Just what the hell was going on? Itachi fucking Hinata? Hinata having sex? Hinata and Sasuke? She was so innocent and frail. He wondered what else he hadn't known about her but it was his fault. He was always so preoccupied with Gaara that he had been missing out on everyone else's life. He hadn't even realized that Itachi had like him for so long. He pulled away from Hinata and stood up straight in the darkness.
"I know you're thinking badly of me now. I'm quite ashamed of my actions but I just wanted to be in love like everyone else. I'm so sorry Neji!" She fell into him and cried on his shoulder. He held her close for a second. Even with Itachi dead, he and Neji were still ruining people's lives. The Hyuuga backed away from Hinata and held her chin in his hand.
"I don't think anything bad about you. You're old enough to be making your own decisions." He kissed her forehead. "Get some rest now." He started walking back up the hall to his room. He couldn't believe all the stuff that was going on behind his back. He wondered if his dream was a sign or if Itachi really was alive. His dreams seemed to always symbolize something. He hoped for once that his dreams didn't lead him to something he would regret.

The next morning, Neji called Gaara just like he had done in his dream and just like in his dream the redhead did not answer any of his calls. Neji sighed. He would have to go over there and visit Gaara. If his dream was going to come true then he would have to see Gaara before something absolutely crazy actually did happen.
So, Neji drove over to Naruto's house and found the blond sitting outside with Sasuke in the grass up against a tree. Naruto was talking, as usual, while Sasuke leaned up against the tree probably listening but never responding, per his usual.
Neji got out the car and Naruto immediately waved. When he approached the two boys he stood with his hands in his pockets. "Naruto, would you mind if I spoke with Sasuke…alone?" He never took his eyes off Sasuke. The blond sort of nodded and then got up and walked slowly to the house but not before he eyed both of the boys. He stood in the door and leaned on the frame. He was just within earshot but Neji turned his back to him to spare his feelings.
"So," Sasuke said, mimicking Neji's previous stance, "You never really have anything important to say to me other than asking me to leave you and my brother alone. What's this about?"
"I heard you were screwing my cousin not too long ago." Neji came right out with it. He didn't have anything else to say. He just wanted to confirm what Hinata had told him. The Uchiha didn't budge but he did narrow his eyes. Neji could see Sasuke thinking so he turned to him. He wanted to punch him in the face but it was his fault that Itachi was dead so he remained calm.
"I take it you haven't told Naruto."
"I haven't told Naruto a lot of things. I did things over the summer I'm not proud of."
"Did you know she was sleeping with your brother too?"
That caught Sasuke off guard. He looked at Neji with a frown. He had been using Hinata but how dare she use him? They hadn't really been anything serious but to sleep with his brother after she had slept with him. Itachi had to have known, she visited quite often over the summer. Sasuke sighed.
"I didn't." He replied. "She told you, I'm surprised. She never seemed to care too much about it. It's not like we were serious."
"I'm going to tell you this because it has more to do with you than Gaara and Naruto." Neji turned to him. "Haku told me someone wants to meet me up at the warehouse today. I had a dream last night that when I got up there I met with Kisame and he took me to a house where I saw Itachi fucking Hinata. He spoke to me. When I dream about my father he never says a word to me. Not once in the last 13 years has my father spoken a word to me in my dreams. The dead don't talk." Neji paused and Sasuke turned to him as well.
"You saw him die, didn't you?" The question from Neji's mouth sounded desperate. Sasuke thought back to the day he laid next to his dying brother. There was no breathing from the boy for quite some time. Sasuke had remembered that because he couldn't bring himself to leave. He kept quiet for a minute thinking if there were signs he had not noticed in his grief.
"I'm going with you." Sasuke said as he turned around.
"You cannot tell Naruto." He stopped Sasuke. "He can't know about this there's too much at stake. If Gaara found out there would be more hell to deal with." Neji was supposed to go alone at it was. Sasuke nodded. He knew Naruto wouldn't be happy about this but they were going to have to leave. Both boys headed for the house. Neji, to see Gaara and Sasuke to see Naruto.
When Neji got inside he found Gaara stretched out on the couch in Naruto's room. The redhead ignored him as he walked over to him. Neji smiled to himself because he knew Gaara. He knew the boy was still anxious to see him even though he pretended he wasn't. Neji stood in front of the couch and waited until Gaara looked at him.
"Have you thought anymore about what we talked about?"
Gaara had his eyes closed but Neji knew he wasn't sleeping. When the redhead finally looked at him he sat up and then stood.
"I thought a lot about you going home with Haku.
Neji shook his head. "So you haven't decided to give me and answer." Neji grinned. "That's fine." He leaned down and kissed Gaara's cheek. "I'm going out of town for awhile with Sasuke. When I get back I expect an answer." He turned to leave and Gaara pulled on his shirt. He stepped up to Neji and pulled him down into a long kiss. Neji wrapped his arms around the boy began to push him back on the couch but Gaara pushed back.
"Where are you going?" Gaara asked but he really didn't care. Things were starting to seem like they had the first time Neji had disappeared on him. Gaara wondered if that's what was about to happen but if that was the case then why was he taking Sasuke with him?
"I have some business to take care of."
"More secrets?" Gaara asked.
"You turned down my marriage proposal." Neji shruuged.
"What does that have to do with you leaving?"
"I am a bit hurt by you implying you don't want to marry me. It took a lot just to ask."
"Liar. Why are you so suddenly worried about marrying me? We've never talked about this before."
"Gaara listen to me." Neji put his forehead against Gaara's. "I want you to realize just how much I love you. If that means me making a complete fool of myself then that's what I am willing to do." He paused and thought carefully about what he wanted to say. "I'm going out of town to deal with someone. I don't know what kind of trouble I might get into out there. I had to see you before I left but if you really don't want to marry me then maybe I am being a little too clingy. Maybe this is too much for you? Maybe I'm too much for you?"
Gaara looked up at him and frowned. Neji was acting strange again. First he wanted to get married and now he was trying to push Gaara away. Neji looked down at Gaara and as honest as he was he still smiled at the younger boy and he hugged him tight.
"But don't worry because you're the only one I am going to marry even if I have to beg you every single day."

End Chapter!

Hurray! Something new to think about.
I realize I started this story all over, practically. I was supposed to be ending this by chapter 20 and that is no longer going to happen because I am doing WAY too much twisty turns.
Whatever, it's all good. Don't yell at me about Hinata being a mini hoe. I thought about all the girls I could use and she made the most sense since she SLIGHTLY resembles Neji and Itachi is a sucker for sex, ha! I also wanted to incorporate Hinata having sex with Sasuke to get close to Naruto but it didn't end up that way because I don't particularly care about her THAT much. Anyway, that's in the past!
So many questions! So many questions!
Is Itachi alive? Is Neji crazy? Will Gaara say yes to the cutest attempt at proposing? I don't know. I haven't written chapter 20 yet, lol.
Favorite scene this chapter was the conversation Naruto and Sasuke had about kids. Squee!
Chapter 20 –Sleeping with the Fishes!
