Sasuke was lying on his bed, his eyes closed, yet wide-awake. The temperature had slowly climbed up over night so now he was left in nothing but his boxers. He was very tempted to rip them off too for his crotch was heating up and becoming more and more uncomfortable. But what If someone walked in on him naked? He couldn't hide himself with the blanket because the heat would be unbearable. But who the hell would come into his room now, at 3am? He was being ridiculous. There was no chance of anyone walking in.

As he reached down to remove the boxers, a piercing pain tore through his shoulder. He reached up and touched the scar on the back of his neck. Painful memories of the second chuunin exam flooded back. No. He couldn't let that get to him now. That was four years ago. He gritted his teeth. Soon he was fast asleep, his dreams filled with horrible visions of Orochimaru coming back to Konoha to get him back...

Sakura walked up the stairs, a tray in hand. It was now 10am, and Sasuke should have gotten up 2 hours ago like he always did. Maybe there's something wrong Sakura thought to herself. The tray she was carrying was heavy with breakfast food, most of which Naruto had tried- and failed- several times to steal. She knocked on the door....nothing. Sasuke must still be asleep. She slowly opened the door and looked inside.

The tray fell to the floor with a crash. Sakura was standing in the doorway, her eyes wide open, heart beating at unimaginable speeds. Uchiha Sasuke was lying in bed....naked. Sakura was frozen with a mix of shock and bliss. She stood there for a full ten minutes, just staring. She slowly bent down, picket up the tray, and left. Even through the immense shock, Sakura was wondering why the crash hadn't woken Sasuke.

Sasuke woke with a start. He sat up and looked around. He registered three things

1- It was 11:34am much too late for him to be getting up
2- He was naked
3- There was a mess of cereal and orange juice on the floor by the door.

His eye twitched horribly as everything fell into place. Someone had been in the room, presumably bringing him breakfast....they had seen his naked form, and dropped the tray in utter shock and disgust. Why did he have to remove the boxers, dammit WHY? He leapt out of the bed and grabbed a morning gown, and flung it on. He was going to find out who it was and do some serious mind wiping.

Sasuke walked down the stairs, his face cherry red. He greeted Naruto in the kitchen. The kyuubi was slurping Nesquik and watching Pokemon. Sasuke sweatdropped....at 17....Naruto saw Sasuke and mumbled a good-morning his mouth full of milkshake.
Sasuke replied and cleared his throat.

"Ummmm....Naruto...can I ask you something?"

Naruto put the Nesquik down and stared at Sasuke, a blank look on his face. "Yes...." He was treading carefully. Sasuke was starting to become unpredictable.

Sasuke sighed. "Did anything....strange happen this morning? Did you...*see*...anything?"

Naruto shook his head slowly and returned to his TV show. Sasuke walked out. This was going to be a long day....

~*~

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were at Ichiraku noodle bar. Naruto was stuffing his face as usual, Sakura was sitting silent, going through a scroll, avoiding Sasuke's eyes. Sasuke ate his ramen slowly, eyeing Sakura suspiciously. Normally, she would be all over him, asking after his well being and occasionally asking him out with his automatic decline. This time she was silent, acting as if Sasuke wasn't even there.

Naruto finished. "More please!" Sasuke sighed. "You realise I'm not paying for this right?" Naruto nodded. He took out his wallet, opened it, and shoved it in Sasuke's face. "Look...money...." Naruto put the wallet away and continued eating. Sasuke glanced at Sakura. She seemed intent on reading the scroll over and over, completely ignoring both boys. Sasuke would talk to her later...maybe...

Just then, an unexpected group appeared. Tenten, RockLee and Neji. Tenten sat down next to Sakura. "Hi Sakura." Sakura seemed almost relieved for some new company. "Tenten! Hi! Let's go to the other side of the bar. Now." Tenten sweatdropped, puzzled. "Okay...sure."

Instantly, Naruto and RockLee were arguing about who would eventually go out with Sakura. Naruto seemed determined that he would win, while RockLee was more interested in Sakura herself than beating Naruto. Neji sat down next to Sasuke. "Soooo...Sasuke."
....."Neji."

*Silence*

*More silence*

Neji sighed. "Look, I'm not gonna try and make phoney conversation so-"

Sasuke intervened. "No please...I need someone to talk to."

Neji was curious. "Okay...what about?"

"Well....it started today. Since breakfast, Sakura has been avoiding me, and pretending not to hear when I talk to her."

Neji stroked his chin. "Well...normally I'd say she likes you and is too shy to say so, but she already told you that 4 years ago. I would say something's happened to her concerning you...and now she's totally freaked out."

Sasuke gasped and dropped his chopsticks ["You're gonna pay for those!"]. He remember waking up naked...the cereal on the floor...Sakura had seen him naked. "Great. Thanks Neji."

"Anytime...." Neji directed his attention to the barman. "Could I get a bowl of ramen here..."

Sakura was sitting with Tenten, in the corner, both talking in hushed whispers.

"So I was taking him breakfast...."

"Yea.....did he enjoy it?"

"Tenten! He was asleep!"

"Oh right...soooo.."

"Yea...so, so I opened the door, and there he was-"

"Sakura!"

"No Tenten...this is the important part!"

"Sakura-"

"Listen! I was standing there....and he was on his bed-"

"SAKURA! He's standing right behind you!"

Sakura froze mid-sentence. Not good...not good at all. Not Sasuke now! "Ummm...Sakura..can I talk to you?"

Sakura blushed, and slowly turned around. "Y-Yes...what?"

"Ummm...about this morning...When you brought me breakfast.."

No. Sakura was not ready to discuss this matter with Sasuke yet. She instantly devised an intricate, sophisticated escape plan in her large noggin. "Oh! Would you look at the time! Come on Tenten! We have to um.....um...get the hell outta here for a reason I cannot speak of momentarily! Come on!"

Tenten groaned. "But Sakura! I just got here!"

"TENTEN! COME ON!"

"Geez...fine.."

The two girls fled out of the bar at speeds that would put Kakashi to shame. Sasuke was left standing there, his mouth wide-open, eyes round and puzzled. What was up with girls....? Neji had seen the whole thing. He grabbed Sasuke's arm, and dragged him out of the bar. “Hey, what-”

“No questions. We are going for a walk.”

Ten minutes later, Neji and Sasuke were walking through the streets of Konoha. It was a warm evening and the sun was just setting. The reached a hill, and sat at the top. Sasuke looked at Neji. “So what’s this all about?”

Neji eyed Sasuke. “One, I had to get away from RockLee and Naruto. Two, I need peace. Three, I didn’t wanna miss the sunset.”

Sasuke eyed Neji. “You don’t need me for any of that.” Neji shrugged. “Yea…I guess I don’t…but who wants to watch a sunset alone?” Neji grinned at Sasuke. The Uchiha felt warm blood rushing to his cheeks. He hoped this was because of the heat…

Neji sat in silence, watching the ball of fire setting, with a faint smile on his face. Sasuke was extremely uncomfortable. He shifted his position several times until he found himself lying on his back…this was much like the previous night, when he didn’t have any clothes on. Half an hour later, they were still there, only now Neji was lying next to Sasuke, and they were watching the stars.

“Neji?”

“Yes?”

“How long have we been here?”

“No idea……”

They looked at each other, barely inches from each other. Sasuke couldn’t avoid Neji’s eyes. Sasuke smiled. “This is nice.” Neji nodded, still holding eye contact. Sasuke found himself leaning in. Slowly…slowly…All the while, he was lying there wondering what was going on. What was he doing? Why was he doing it?

Just before Sasuke could feel Neji’s lips on his, his neck froze. The scar on his neck burnt a fierce pain through his entire body, and before Sasuke could react, he found himself sinking…slowly into darkness…
