I'm back! Sorry it's been so long but here's a really good chapter or at least I think so. There's some added Drama and I'm developing more GaaNeji love in here so they won't feel left out. The main story is all about Naruto and Sasuke still but I love GaaNeji and KibaShika. Well Again, Hope you love it.

Disclaimer from first chapter is still applied.

As soon as the lunch bell rung, Naruto ran to the cafeteria. The reason he ran was not because he was hungry but because he wanted to avoid Sasuke at all cost. He even put on Kiba's jacket when he got to the lunch table. Naruto could feel all the eyes on him even the scariest one, Gaara.

"Naruto, what's up? You're like freakin' out." Kiba said poking Naruto's head as it rested in the blond's arms. Naruto tried to ignore him but Kiba kept poking him. He sighed and rose up a bit.

"Sasuke won't leave me alone. He's been touching and flirting with me all day." He supported himself up with one arm.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from him but you don't listen to me."

"So the Uchiha has been messing with you." Naruto almost groaned, he didn't want Gaara in this. Gaara could hardly control his temper and he wasn't a kid anymore. He could take care of himself on his own.

"No it's just a joke." 'A joke gone too far…' The blond added in mentally. "I can handle it myself. The Uchiha is no match for Naruto Uzumaki!" He gave his trademark grin before getting up. Naruto decided to walk around until the bell rung, now to avoid Sasuke and his friends' questions and comments. It wasn't a good idea to tell them he had detention after school either.

Gaara and Neji had off period next so they decided to sit on a picnic bench behind the school. They usually just napped or did other things but Gaara could tell Neji was pretty annoyed. Neji had his arms crossed and looked as if he was thinking really hard about saying something.

"You okay, Neji?" Gaara asked a bit concerned. He tried to pull Neji into a hug but his arms were slapped away. "What the fuck?" The redhead was confused as to why Neji was so upset.

"No I am not okay and you should know what it's about." Neji took a deep breath before continuing. "Didn't I say that Naruto is old enough to handle himself? But every time he has a little problem, you just have to save him. Naruto will never learn if you rescue him every time Gaara. Let him make a mistake something. Jeez, it feels like you're dating Naruto rather than me sometimes. I'm not asking you to put me before him because he is your best friend and he has known you longer than I have but at least place me as a close second in your heart." Neji left before Gaara could see tears.

Gaara tried to soak in what just happened. His boyfriend was clearly upset and he had no idea on how to fix it. He was never good with emotions or even reading them so the outburst from his usually quiet Neji shocked him. Gaara never knew Neji felt as though he was putting Naruto before his boyfriend. He never worried over Neji because he knew how strong and independent Neji was. Naruto was someone who needed to be watched because he needs someone to protect him from pain. So much was on his mind, he could hardly concentrate on school, the best option was ditching for the day.

"Teme, this is all your fault. I hate you." Naruto pouted. The teme had gotten them in trouble with Anko and now they were stuck in detention. Sasuke was being a total pervert today and Naruto had no idea why. He never paid any attention to Naruto but lately he had been flirting endlessly. He sighed. Only an hour left, so he could probably take a nap.

Sasuke watched the blond sleep peacefully. He really was a beauty, even when he made some of the weirdest facials. The raven reached out a hand to touch his cheek. The blond would be his soon. He took more work than his other conquests but it wasn't anything Sasuke couldn't handle. Uchihas love a good chase.

Good? Hope you thought so. Give me ideas for future chapters and some constructive criticism. Simple feedback is also welcomed!
