Stepping out in the large garden area, Sasuke and Neji smiled slightly as everyone cheered for them. Also the flash of light a signaled a picture for a news paper had been taken. They both were still in 'costume', only now they had a regular sandals on. As they moved further into the garden, both boys otouto's grabbed them and pulled them to side. Slipping to small red boxes into Neji's obi, (1) Deidara glanced around the garden quickly to see if the potential bidders were there. "Shikamaru, and Gaara." Deidara whispered, before giving Neji a gentle push and turning back to his danna who was currently talking amongst a small group of people.Once spotting Shikamaru, sitting in the grass and seperated from everyone while staring at the sky boredly. Neji made his way over to the spikey haired boy, smiling sweetly Neji kneeled next to him. "Hello Shikamaru-sama, may I ask what you are doing?" Neji questioned silently, snapping the other boy out of his thoughts. "Thinking, and cloud watching." he replied still staring at the side, glancing upwards Neji laughed softly at the lack of clouds."It might be a bit hard to cloud watch, if there are no clouds in the sky. Don't you think?" Neji inquired, making Shikamaru turn his head and face him."Well yes, I suppose you're right." Shikamaru replied smiling softly, slipping a red box out of his obi Neji slid it into Shikamaru's hand."It was nice speaking to you, but I must be going now." Neji said before standing up and looking for Gaara. Once locating the inexpressive red-head, biting his bottom lip Neji approached him nervously. Right before he reached the other though, Gaara turned cold jade eyes on him. Neji froze for a minute in his place before continuing forward. "Gaara-sama." he greeted, bowing slightly only to have a long thin package pushed at him. With wide eyes Neji accepted the gift. (2) Neji was about to open his mouth and thank him but was cut off by Gaara's smooth voice. "My brother and Naruto seem to think that I may have traumatized you the other night. It's an apology gift." Gaara looked away for a moment not sure what else, while Neji gave a small smile. 'He's so awkward.' Neji thought to himself smiling, "Well thank you then, but I do believe I will be fine.""Well, open it." Gaara insisted, Neji would have swore the other boy was nervous but he instead dismissed it as something else."Yes of course." Neji replied, slipping one of his long thin fingers under the seal of the pakage breaking it. Looking inside he pulled out a brightly colored parasol. "It's lovely." Neji said opening it up, it was see through splattered with red. 'Like blood.' Neji thought idly before reclosing the parasol. Gaara grabbed the gift from Neji's hands, tugging softly on the handle of the parasol he unsheathed a small dagger. Neji's eyes widened at the sight, and for a moment he wondered if he had saw it right because as quickly as it had been shown Gaara put it back. When he was done showing it to him, Gaara placed the parasol back in Neji's hands. "What? Why?" Neji asked, unsure really of what to say about it."Just a few days ago you were nearly raped and murdered in a back ally. I figured it would be better to carry a parasol around then a dagger tucked in your obi." Gaara explained, Neji smiled brightly at this for some reason he felt really warm inside now. "Wow, that's oddly thoughtful." Neji replied before leaning forward, pulling the red box from his obi and placing it in the red-heads hand. While at the same time he placed a feather light kiss on Gaara's cheek, before turning and walking toward Sasuke who was now standing near the entrance of the garden. Standing there for a moment, slightly shocked, unknowingly Gaara raised his hand touching his cheek lightly with the tips of his fingers. 'Feels like its on fire.' Gaara thought to himself, briefly noting the box in his hand. 'What's this for?' shrugging it off Gaara headed over to Naruto.
Sasuke"Orochimaru-sama, and Naruto-sama." Haku said sternly, warning Sasuke not to question him as he placed two black boxes in Sasuke's obi. Nodding a bit the short haired boy walked toward Orochimaru, swallowing his complete disgust he felt for the man Sasuke tapped on his shoulder to get Orochimaru's attention. "I wanted to give this to you Orochimaru-sama." Sasuke bowed slightly placing the black box in the mans hands and turning to leave quickly before he actually said anything to him. 'One down.' Sasuke thought surveying the garden area for a certain blonde. Only to find him no where in sight. Sighing, a bit confused, Sasuke walked over to Zabuza. "Excuse me Zabuza-sama, do you know where Naruto-sama is?" Sasuke asked bowing slightly in apology for interrupting the mans conversation. "Ah, I think he went towards the room with the fountain." Zabuza replied pointing at the door before turning back to the people he had been talking to. Heading over to the double doors Sasuke entered another small enclosure with a large fountain decorating the center. Sitting on the edge of the fountain was Naruto, the lovely blonde was watching the water. Saddness, and loneliness clouding the usually bright blue eyes. They looked more like an ocean now instead of the sky. "Want some company?" Sasuke asked stepping closer to the blonde, who broke from his thoughts a bit startled. (3) "Depends, do I have to pay?" Naruto asked jokingly, watching as Sasuke sat next to him."No of course not, I came looking for you." Sasuke replied dipping his hand in the cool water, wondering what it would be like to be able to let go of all worries and just jump in. Shaking his head, Sasuke pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind. "Yeah? Now why would you do something like that?" Naruto asked, watching the dark-haired boy play in the water a small smile gracing his face."I--" Sasuke paused for a moment, 'Why can I never think of anything to say to him?' Sasuke thought, before looking up at Naruto. Onyx eyes locking with bright blues. "I wanted to give you this." Sasuke pulled the last small box from his obi placing it in Naruto's hand. After a moment, Naruto realized what it was and his eyes widened. Standing gracefully Sasuke leaned forward whispering in Naruto's ear, once he realized the blonde reconized it's meaning. "Please consider my offer." with that Sasuke turned and walked out of the small enclosure and into the garden to wait for Neji. All the while praying Naruto would consider, since he really didn't think he could live with himself after Orochimaru touched him.
A/N1. Ok these little boxes hold, I think it's ricecakes inside. I dont know Im making it ricecakes either way. And it means the person who gets them can bid on that maiko's virginity.2. Now, I know before the rest most of you came up with something undoubtedly perverted.3. That's right people, Natuto thinks in this fanfic. I wanna hear no dramatic gasps at this bit of info.I didn't write as many chapters today, but well you know. I wasnt home either, so boredom didnt really start eating me alive over here. Oh yeah and everyone clap for Gaara, cause I gave him a little more social skills than an ameoba. I'll explain why he's so cold later on, unless it's another one of those things I forget to do. Well whatever, youll survive either way.~Yuri
