To the Reviewers:

Chapter Two

'He took a deep breathe and shivered. This was the end he knew it. He snapped his eyes shut tightly then.'

Neji looked up slightly then pushed the boy down into the water, pinning his shoulders down, but keeping his head above the water.

Sasuke let out a small sob, refusing to cry, but still showing his fear. His eyes stayed clentched as he panted softly, then whispered a 'good-bye'.

The older boy suddenly felt sorry for the other. He tilted his head slightly then lifted his hand, leaning up slowly. "What are you talking...Oh. Well, ok, I guess." He smirked slightly then took the boys head into his hands, dunking him under.

He refused to struggle, it would've been pointless to. He just held his breath, holding onto the last few minutes of his life...the last few minutes with Neji. Just when he was about pass out, he felt his face being lifted back to the surface.

When Sasuke looked into his eyes, he smirked. "I'm not going to kill you...not tonight at least..." He slowlt pulled the other up, then pushed him towards the shore, climbing up onto the shore.

Startled, he followed, and kneeled by the edge, shivering, no tears falling. Why did he have to tease him? Death would almost be welcomed..."Neji-kun..."

The ikder didn't reply, as he wrong out his hair of the water, rubbing his eye slightly. "You shouldn't be scared of me...You should learn to fight back.." 'SINCE WHEN!?' His inner-self screamed. He smirked lightly, then knelt beside the boy. "And, that's Neji-sama."

"I can't fight you.." His black eyes couldn't, no, refused to meet he white ones of the other, afraid that he would see Neji teasing him again..he knew that Neji played tricks when it came to killing. "I can't..."

Once he himself was standing fully up again, he went in front of the other boy, grabbing onto his shoulders, yanking him up. "You should learn! You need to.." He smirked lightly, then pushed the boy back towards the water.

With a cry, Sasuke stumbled, arms flailing, trying to stop himself from falling in. He caught Neji's eye, and felt the love pass through his own eyes, hopeing that Neji hadn't noticed.

Not only did he noticed, but he snikered about it. He reached out a hand and latched onto the boys wrist. "Gotcha." He smirked again and then pulled the boy back, pulling him from the waters edge.

With a shiver he looked at the ground, his head beating quickly. It was true, Neji was playing with him. He couldn't stop the small whimper that left his mouth.

As if it burnt, he dropped the wrist and crossed his arms over his chest, turning away from the younger and walking towards the edge of the river again. He blew some hair from his eyes, then closed them, sighing heavily.

"Neji-sama...?" Something was wrong with the other boy, he was plotting something...Sasuke could sence it.

"Yes, Sasuke?" He kept his head hung and his eyes closed, a small smile plastured to his face. "What do you want, I didn't kill you."

"Why...not?" He walked over and looked at the other boy, fear still evident in his eyes, and his shivering body.

"Why? Did you want me to kill you?" He titled his head slightly, turning his head to face the other, the smile fading away.

"I..I..." He tried to step back, but found his wrist being held by the other...by Neji. "Iie! Gomen nasai, Neji-sama!" He bowed his head, expecting to be struck.

"You what?" He held onto the others wrist tightly, pulling him forwards, then grabbing the boys neck with his other hand, not too tightly though. "You should be...You're lucky I didn't drown you.

"I didn't mean to upset you, Neji-kun..." He closed his eyes, tears suddenly appearing. "Gomen nasai...I'm sorry..."

"Hmm..." He let go of the boy slowly, taking a few steps back, then turning away again, his arms crossed. "Hn. You're...forgiven, Sasuke."

He looked at the ground. "Dammit..." He couldn't say it outloud...But he really wanted to hold the other. If he died from it, oh well. "Neji-kun..." He threw his arms around the others waist from behind, burrying his head into the others back.

His arms stayed crossed until he felt the other arms around his waist. His eyes widened slightly as he slowly turned his head back to look at Sasuke. He raised his hands to his sides, then stopped, just...gapping at the boy. "...Sasuke."

"Stupid, Neji..." He stayed there, his hold only tightening. If he died, he would die happily.

He gulped slightly, then placed his hands on the other boys arms, pushing at them slightly, staring forward now, blinking slightly. "Stupid...?"

"You scare the shit out of me...everyday I wonder if I am going to live when I see you...but, through all that..." He stopped, and released the other and held his kunai up to the other. "If this is where I die...then at least kill me with my own weapon." He held it to his neck and looked at the other. "Neji-kun...aishiteru."

He turned his head back towards the other boy slowly, still staring as his breathe sped up slightly. "Sasuke..." He trailed off, then walked towards the other boy, hands clentched into fists. He went up to the other and placed his hands on the kunai. He smirked slightly then pulled the weapon down, leaning in and placing his lips near the others ears. "It's....-sama..."

He gasped softly. "Neji-sama..."

He smirked lightly then turned his head, placing a small kiss on the boys cheek. "Got it?"

He nodded startled. "Yes, Neji-sama...I got it..."

He grinned slightly then stepped away from the boy. He crossed his arms slowly then watched the boy curiously. "What now?"

Sasuke lowered his head slowly. "I don't know, Neji-sama...I thought I would be dead...I didn't think past telling you..."

Neji stepped forwards again, then reached his hand out, placing it against Sasuke's cheek. "I wouldn't have killed you like that..."

Fear flashed across his eyes for a moment. "Y..Yes..."

"Do I scare you...?" He smirked lightly, taking his hand away, and grabbing the handle of the boys kunai.

He choked then whispered out a soft, "Yes..."

The white-eyed boy slipped the kunai from the boys hand, pulling it away then holding it up. "Have I...always?"

Sasuke kept his eyes on Neji and nodded. "Always..."

After taking a few steps backwards, he ran at the boy stopping right in front of him, holding the sharp blade like weapon to the boys neck. "Always?"

He froze instantly, panting slowly. "Hai...Neji-sama...always..."

The kunai slid down slowly. He smirked then threw the toy to the side, stepping back. "You shouldn't be afraid."

Sasuke blinked and nodded very slowly. "Hai, Neji-sama..."

The boy nodded his head then turned back to the river, arms crossed again.

Sasuke stood there, no real expression, then he looked to the side and asked, "Are you mad at me, Neji-sama?"

Neji tilted his head back slowly, and glanced over to the other boy. He shook his head. "No, I'm not."

He stared at the ground and let a few tears slide down his cheeks. He had told Neji how he felt, but was still clueless as to Neji's feelings for him.

"Actually, I'm glad you told me...revealed your true feelings." He smiled slightly turning to fully face the other.

"Aa....demo...why?" He kept his face to the ground.

Slowly, the older walked to Sasuke and stopped in front of him. smirking slightly. "Because...I sort of couldn't tell my feelings for you."

"Fe...feelings for me, Neji-sama?!" He looked up, then looked back down, blushing.

"Yes." He nodded slowly, raising a hand, then stopping. "You, feel the same....right?"

"Yes, I do...for as long as I've feared you...I've loved you as well...."

"We can't...tell the others," he said as he placed a hand on the boys shoulder.

"I understand." He looked at the ground once more, nervously shifting from one foot to another.

"Alright then..."

Sasuke stood there now, waiting for Neji to do something, anything. It had taken all of his courage to go over and hug the boy of his affections, but, inniciating anything else was out of the question.

Neji looked at Sasuke, letting out a small sigh as he did so. Slowly he walked closer to the other boy, and whispered, "Sorry for being...so rude and mean to you..." He placed his hands on Sasuke's shoulders and leaned in, pressing his lips against the others.
