Leaning on Haku, Sasuke had his eyes closed the only sound in the room was the sound of steady breathing. "I'm sorry I allowed Orochimaru to have the final bid." Haku spoke softly, breaking the silence. Sighing softly Sasuke sat up and looked at Haku calmly, "It's ok, I understand. Aniki, may I tell you something?" Sasuke asked softly, directing his attention to the floor."Of course, you can tell me anything." Haku replied, getting suddenly curious."Alright, but I swear if you tell on me. I will tell everyone about you and Zabuza-sama." Sasuke said with deadly calm, Haku's eyes widened at the threat.'We've been caught.' Haku thought, he could feel his heart moving a mile a minute. "I understand." he replied as calm as he could make himself."I didn't spend the night with Orochimaru-sama--" Sasuke started, seeing Haku was going to question him, Sasuke held his hand up to continue. "--I killed him. Please understand aniki, I couldn't let myself do it with him. I just... I would've killed myself first." Sasuke explained shakily at the thought. Nodding as he took in all the information, Haku thought on it for a moment. "So who did you spend your night with?" Haku asked, watching a blush crossed the others face."N-Naruto-sama." Sasuke replied, looking away from the long haired boy."I thought so." Haku replied with a small smile on his face, before standing from his place moving to the door."Where are you going?" Sasuke asked watching Haku carefully."Well you can't exactly leave the body there. Someone might find it. I'm going to go tell Zabuza." Haku explained before being stopped once again by Sasuke."Oh Naruto-sama dealt with it already." the short-haired boy said making the other turn to look at him."I see. I should've known." sighing, Haku sat back down next to Sasuke.
NejiSmiling softly, Neji walked down the street by himself. Mother had given him the money left of what he was indebted to. So today he decided he was going shopping. For what exactly, he was completely unsure of.The sight of a kanzashi shop caught his eye as he was walking down the street. Walking inside he took in the sight of all the colorful, and beautifully made kanzashi."Excuse me, is there something I could help you with?" A young woman asked coming from the back of the shop. Her hair made up in four odd pony-tails, smiling softly Neji shook his head."No, I was just looking. They're very nice." Neji spoke softly, picking one off the walls."Well, I have new ones if my stupid little brother would hurry up." she replied before yelling into the back, "Damn it Gaara! Hurry the hell up!"Neji wondered if it was the wonderful red-head he knew, as he briefly recalled Gaara telling him his sister sold kanzashi. "Shut up woman! I am not your pack mule." Came the replied yell, as Gaara stepped out from the back placing a box on the counter. "Gaara." Neji greeted softly, a small smile gracing his face."What are you doing here?" Gaara asked, slightly shocked. The blonde woman looked back and forth between the two, seeing her little brother let his guard down was odd."Hey Gaara who's your friend?" she said, cutting off any response Neji may have given."Ah I'm sorry. Temari this is Neji, Neji this is my annoying sister Temari." Gaara introduced the two, watching his sister eye the geisha cautiously.'Oh and he apologizes now too.' Temari thought to herself, looking up to see if the sky was falling and the world was ending."Nice to meet you." Neji said politely, bowing slightly at the blonde woman. "I was shopping with the money left over from what you bought my mizuagi with." Neji replied smiling softly, making Gaara brush at the mentioning of such things in front of his sister. "Wait wait wait." Temari said stopping the conversation right there. "You did what Gaara?!" she exclaimed questioningly, the thought of her little brother even thinking about such things was just... weird. Gaara rolled his eyes at her, "It's none of your business." he replied taking the kanzashi from Neji's hands and placing it back on the shelf. Walking over to the box Gaara pulled out a beautiful pale blue, and dark red kanzashi. Walking over to Neji, Gaara placed it in the others hair. Neji smiled softly, his hair wasn't done in anything special today. It was just an ordinary tight pony-tail. "Gaara I must say, you have an obsession of red." Neji said softly, reaching up and touching the hair piece softly. "It's Gaara's way of being possessive." Temari said idly, as she put up the kanzashi in the box Gaara had brought in. Neji looked at her curiously at her words. "He keeps giving you things that are blood red right?" she asked looking up from an arrangement of kanzashi she had made to look like a vase of flowers. Getting a nod in response from Neji, Temari continued, "See it matches his hair, and profession so it sorta matches as possessiveness in some twisted way." she explained getting another nod in response. "Shut up Temari." Gaara growled narrowing his eyes at his older sister, before wrapping his arm around Neji's waist and dragging him out of the shop. "You should've have asked me for kanzashi if that's what you wanted." Gaara said releasing the long haired boy, as he turned his head to look into pale eyes. "Oh no, I could never. It's not polite, anyway that's what I need a danna for. To pay for whatever I need. Or want." Neji replied a small smile on his face as he walked into another shop. This one was littered with parasols of all kinds. "What's a danna?" Gaara asked a bit confused."Ah well they are the nice rich men, who choose to buy everything we will own. Such as kimono, parasols and such. In return they pay nothing for our services." Neji replied, the dark look he was getting from Gaara told him that he should explain further. "You know like as hosts." Nodding, Gaara cued he understood. "How do you get a danna?" Gaara asked as Neji led him from the parasol shop to a place that sold dango.(1)"Well a person asks the head of the okiya, or the geisha's aniki. If they think your acceptable then you meet with the geisha of your choice and it is official." Neji explained picking up two of the sweets handing them to Gaara before pulling out the small change purse from his obi and paying. Once he tucked the purse back into his obi, Neji took one of the sticks of dango. "That's it?" Gaara asked sceptically, as he watched Neji eat the dango."Yes, and I payed for that. You better eat it." Neji teased, the red head blinked stupidly for a moment before taking a bite of a white piece. Submitting to his thoughts, Gaara looked up at the sky.
