Chapter 28 Broken Bonds
Chapter 28 Broken Bonds
Sasuke sat near the dying ember of their campsite; completely ticked off. Gritting his teeth as Neji approached with medical items to secure his fracture. ‘He really needs to stay away from me right now.’ His anger increased by the fact that once again he would not be able to work around Naruto. ‘Of all people he puts me with this guy, how can I get close to Naruto if that bastard does everything in his power to make sure we never have more that a few minutes alone.’
“Don’t touch me I’ll do it myself!” he stormed snatching the medical pouch. Neji conceded his fiery gaze deepened.
“You needn’t act so unsightly Uchiha.” He drawled slowly, feeling the air vibrate as the raven’s anger grew. He did not care his own anger just as quick; although not as unpredictable grew as he watched the Uchiha bandage his own arm. ‘Why must it always be this way? I am getting fed up with this temper and mood swings and that dam blonde all things go back to Naruto!’
“You are like a puppy after its mother’s tit when it comes to that imbecile.” He smirked as Sasuke froze red eyes flashing on, treating his injury.
Finally Sasuke cast him a vindictive glare, “Just who do you think you are calling a pup. Bitch!” He spat then grinned to see the Neji’s temper rising, from the contemptuous sneer.
“I guess I am your bitch, Uchiha,” He paused crouching down several feet from Sasuke “I should go cry on Naruto’s shoulder about all the sad times you and I shared.” Now Neji grinned as Sasuke’s face paled at the thought of the ninja telling his teammate of their arrangement. “He so loves to be helpful he would give me the advice I need to get over this broken heart of mine, right Sasuke-kun?” He raised his hands to defend himself, but not before Sasuke punched him in the face, his nose erupting in with blood the thought of retaliation the next thing to cross his mind. However, the belligerent voice over him ended any consideration to fight back.
Raining punches down on any spot he could reach Neji cowering covering his face. Sasuke shouted at the ninja daring him to fight back threatening to kill him if he opened his mouth. Every hateful thing he ever felt he threw at Neji, until the white-eye ninja sprung forward knocking him to the ground with a speed and strength he did not expect. Shouting at him blood and tears dripping off his face.
“ITS OVER! DO YOU HEAR ME! SASUKE, NO MORE!” He then froze surprised at his own actions; thinking he should apologize, but the words would not form on his tongue. His heart full of despair, more painful than any injury Sasuke inflicted. Leaping off him as quickly as he attacked, he ran fast as he could away from the man he loved unable to take back the words that lodged in his heart.
He cleared the three miles to the small lake of bubbling water in under five minutes; falling on his knees at the edge. Leaning his head down over the water looking at his rippling reflection, he shoved his head in the water, trying to clear the images before his mind of his former friend, Uchiha Sasuke. Only pulling up when his chest burned for oxygen, his shirt and hair drenched, he pushed the wet mop out of his face pulling the bloody shirt over his head. Neji pressed the wet shirt to his bleeding nose tears stinging his eyes as he squeezed harder trying to make the blood stop faster.
“That won’t work.” Neji whipped around at the sound of the calm voice, his heart freezing. “Let me see.” Gaara stepped out of the tree line; he had followed the dark haired ninja after his brief discussion with their leader. Walking over he couched on the mossy grass near Neji; not waiting for the ninja to accept his assistance, he pulled the shirt and hands away from his face, lowering them. “I can fix this, he broke your nose, and I hope you broke something that he can not repair so easily.” The sea-green eyes stared at him firmly.
“I should go tell…” he stopped his voice had began to tremble.
“No.” he said placing a hand on the tan shoulder stilling his progress. “I can heal this, just be still let me know if you feel any discomfort.” Raising both hands to either side of the proud nose; Neji hissed as he carefully reset the bridge in place; immediately focusing his chakra to ease the pain and heal the wound. Gaara’s control of chakra allowed him to be counted as an elite medical person in his village, although he wanted to be more.
The pain subsided, his nose healing his heart a different story. Finally, the Sand Ninja lowered his hands, gesturing for him to check the results in the water. He stared a long time at the rippling surface.
“How is it, I could do it again if there is a problem.” He offered as the ninja continued to stare; glancing down at the water’s edge, he could see rings spreading across the surface, not associated with the water’s current. Gaara understood that type of pain, silent and terrible; he considered leaving the man to his thoughts as he stood. “You are a strong, Shinobi Hyuga Neji.”
“…”
Walking over to the water edge just behind Neji, he lowered himself on his knees behind the chestnut brown hair. They both sat silently for some time not speaking, as the time for departure neared. Neji replaced his forehead protector. Then stood looking at the still early morning, feeling as if a terrible weight lifted from his shoulder; ‘Life has a way of showing you a different path.’ Turning slowly, he eyed the man reconsidering his original opinion of the Shinobi.
“Gaara, thank you for your assistance; how long a journey to the Sand?” His white eyes traced over the ninja’s brow, noting the tattooed on the forehead; and the way his red hair framed his face, the contrasting sea green eye striking.
Standing as well, not breaking the gaze on the Konoha Ninja; the same internal pressure throb in his chest; this time the Shinobi did not look away quickly. “We will arrive in two days; perhaps you will prepare yourself now.” He nodded at Neji’s bare chest lean muscles flexing when he shifted. He stood a little taller than the Sand Ninja the white eyes, to Gaara unique; they remind him of a full moon. The Sand had good knowledge of the various clans with the Hidden Leaf; the Hyuga Clan considered elite as with several others, studied more closely. Neji retrieved his soiled clothing rinsing them in the running stream, vaguely wondering why Gaara had not left.
“Hyuga Neji, you have the Byakugan eyes, I am interested in all you can tell me about them.” Gaara gazed fixedly on the toned back as he stood again squeezing the water out of the clothing.
He looked over his shoulder at the red head feeling an unfamiliar sensation, the large eye fixedly on him. “Neji.” He said firmly.
“Hnnn?” The green eyes lifted slightly in question.
“You are welcome to call me Neji, as for these eyes, I believe that would be classified; much like the manner that truly allows you to control that sand.” Now a smug smile shadowed his lips. “I will head back for my things, thank you again Gaara.” He walked back to the tree line, the aqua eyes still looking across the lake; Neji paused looking over his shoulder. “You may walk with me if you like; we will all leave together after all.” He paused to see if Gaara would join him.
“I would like that.” Turning away from the lake, feeling that this day; despite the loss of a valuable artifact transformed into something worth seeing, that did not involve death. His eyes fixedly on the chestnut brown mane walking ahead of him.

Thanks to everyone your comments are inspiring, wow sneakyfox, that is some plot. The kids are a bit older now, Tsunade is Hokage, and the 3rd already murdered. But Oroch never took sasuke, and Kimi is a good guy. I guess this story is AR I never really looked at how much it deviates from the manga, sorry to disappoint any of you.
This is and will be a love story, the fights are necessary to add to the angst! All the manga spoilers are not in this story, its mostly from my crazy imagination, that brings Shino to the light. I read lots of Konaho x Yaoi fictions, well, I am a bit bored with the re-writes. Not that I would stop reading but its interesting to read stories that are more *original*. <_<
That's what I think, Gaara is not the crazy *sand monkey*, he is very controlled still has demon like Naru. And I don't plan to show that being removed. *sorry* if you guys were hoping for that. The manga did it perfectly, it was too sad for me to relive, I feel like these guys are alive. I hated when Itachi died so much I stop reading, esp when SasUke went crazy...T_T I kept hoping he would see reason, or at least come back, *dammit!* [IMO: the story went way left focusing on SasUke, he is a good character but no more then Kaka Iruka Kiba Lee Neji or Gaara how about the main char Naru..They just stretched it out like the fucking name is *Sasuke*] I do like the Raven at heart, actually he's a bottom to Shino in another world, not posting that yet its in a contest we will see. xD!
Oh well I ranted in a way, **but not really** :3 I love you guys hope you keep reading, I'll understand if you don't want to. See ya that can bare it,... tomorrow! xD!
