A/N: Please Read and Review!

 

 

Neji sat in the little coffee shop idly stirring his drink. Their summer tour had just ended and they were all staying at Brit's family's summer home near the beach. Everyone was intoxicated with the salty summer air. Most nights were spent out and about, going to some sort of event. It seemed the only way he could get peace was sneaking off somewhere, hiding his face behind sunglasses and his hair in a bandanna. Things with Brit weren't helping his stress level either. He'd been keeping his eye on the guitarist ever since that fateful night. Even though there really didn't seem to be a need anymore. The older Uchiha boy hadn't been around much lately. He seemed to come and go often; spending much of his time going to bars or parties.

 

 

Neji let out a sigh as he rested his head on his hand, gazing out onto the street of people on the street. Suddenly, an expensive black car caught his eye. “Hey, isn't that Itachi's Jag?” he thought to himself. The car came to a stop a few feet away and sure enough, the raven-haired Uchiha climbed from the driver's seat. He walked around to the passenger side and opened the door. Neji's jaw almost hit the floor when a blonde woman climbed from the passenger seat. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail with her bangs over one eye. Neji stared in shock as the woman wrapped her arms around Itachi's neck and planted a kiss on his lips. As the woman walked away, Itachi waved before climbing back inside the car and driving away.

 

 

 

`Ah fuck, I've got to tell the others about this.' Neji hurriedly paid his bill and exited the shop. Once on the street he made a beeline for summerhouse.

 

`Okay Neji, think. How are you going to break this to her? Brit, there's something I've got to tell you. While I was out, I saw something that might disturb you. No, that's retarded. Maybe I should just be blunt and straight to the point. Brit, Itachi's cheating on you. No, she'll probably have a nervous break down. Damn it' Neji was so absorbed in his thoughts he barely noticed that he had arrived at the front door. `Well here goes nothing' Neji opened to door to find everyone crowded around Temari.

 

 

“...and that's when I saw that skanky blonde kissing him! Right in the middle of public!”

 

 

“OMG! Kill that bastard! I can't believe that son of a bitch you call a brother is doing this Sasuke-kun!” Kitty cried. She was currently sitting in Sasuke's lap fuming at the latest news.

 

 

“I warned you about him didn't I? He's a manipulative asshole.” Sasuke replied.

 

 

“Well none the less, no one does that to a Kunoichi girl and gets away with it right Ino?” Tenten cried.

 

 

“Right!” exclaimed Ino

 

 

“That is horrible, but don't you think we should get Itachi-san's side of the story before rushing to judgement?” Hinata asked in her usual quiet voice.

 

 

“What don't you get? He was kissing another woman! He's a prick!” Kitty snapped.

 

 

As the rest of the girls continued planning how to handle Itachi, Brit remained sitting in her chair. Her head was down and her hands were resting on her knees. “Katie, calm down. I'll take care of it,” she said. She stood abruptly and left the room. An eerie silence fell over the band members. “Shouldn't someone go make sure she's really okay?” Shikamaru asked. Instantly, all eyes fell on Neji.

 

 

“Fine, but if I die, no of you are allowed to attend my funeral” Neji left the room and headed to the second level. When he came to Brit's door, he stopped and raised his hand to knock. “Come in Neji” she said her voice calm and even. The brown haired boy opened the door and to his surprise, Brit had changed from her dull, long sleeved clothes into a black skimpy top with a sheer black top over it. Instead of jeans that were three sizes to large, she now wore black stylish jeans. Her arms were still wrapped in white bandages and bruises on her stomach, back and neck where now evident. She was currently standing between the bed and a dresser a huge black suitcase open on the bed.

 

 

“Where are you going?” He asked.

 

 

“I'm not going anywhere.”

 

“Then what's with the suit case?”

 

 

“I'm getting rid of Itachi and his shit.” Neji's eyes widened in shock. Just when he thought he had finally figured Brit out she turned around and surprised him even more. Wasn't she crying just a few weeks ago telling him how terrified she was of the older Uchiha boy?

 

 

“But, I thought you were afraid of Itachi?”

 

 

“I am. Terrified of him actually. I'd keep putting up with his cheating if everyone didn't know about it. However, I've got a reputation. I can't let the others think I've lost my backbone.” Brit replied. “Besides, I'm tired of being scared.”

 

 

Silence fell between the two as Neji stared at Brit. Slowly, he reached out his arm and pulled her against him. For a moment, he could feel the tension and stiffness in her body, then she slowly relaxed, resting her forehead in the crook of his neck. Words didn't need to pass between them. They stayed together, completely comfortable until the sound of the front door slamming caused them both to jump.

 

 

“Show time” Brit said taking a deep breath. She left the room and hurried down the steps. Neji watched her go before following behind her. When he descended down the stairs into the main hallway he nearly died from shock. Itachi was standing in the doorway with Brit hanging off his neck. The Uchiha boy seemed almost as surprised as everyone else.

 

 

“Itachi-kun! Itachi-kun! Let's go walk to beach! Please! Come on my Itachi-kun!” Brit cried happily. She took her boyfriend by the hand and led him out the front door, leaving the male members dumbstruck and the females smiling triumphantly.

 

 

“WHAT THE FUCKING HELL JUST HAPPENED!?” Naruto yelled. “Wasn't he just caught cheating on her.

 

 

“She knows what she's doing. Just let her play her game.” Temari replied.

 

 

“Yeah, its every girls favorite game. She's lulling him into a false sense of security, then when the opening comes BAM! You mother fucking bastard I never want to see you again! I love it!” Kitty said. The girls began laughing as the guys gave each other sideways glances.

 

 

 

Everyone began dispatching to different parts of the house, returning to previous tasks. However, Neji continued to stand by the door. Something kept nagging at him. He kept getting a feeling that everything was all right. Finally, he decided to go check on Brit and Itachi. He quietly exited the front door and began walking along to boardwalk. Finally, he found Brit and Itachi standing on the beach in the middle of a heated argument. Neji stopped a few yards away, unnoticed by the couple.

 

 

“I'm fucking sick of you Itachi Uchiha! I don't want anything to do with you anymore. I deserve better than you! It's just taken me this damn long to get the balls to say it to your fucking face!” Brit screamed point a finger in his face accusingly.

 

 

“Don't you speak to me like that you little bitch!” Itachi replied “You listen here....”

 

 

“No you listen. I'm through with you! Get your shit and get out of my house!” Brit turned on her heels to leave, only to be stopped when Itachi grabbed her by her wrist and spun her around. With his free hand he slapped her across the face, sending her sprawling to the ground.

 

 

Neji snapped. Before he could think, he had charged forward and his fist was making contact with Itachi's face. The next thing Neji felt was a burning pain in his gut as Itachi punched him in the stomach. As he fell to his knees, Brit rose from the ground and nailed Itachi in nuts. Itachi doubled over in pain.

 

 

“Let's see how much that hussy wants you now, Itachi-chan!” Brit said spiting in Itachi's pain-twisted face. She then helped Neji back to his feet and the two returned to the summer home, leaving Itachi alone on the beach glaring at their retreating forms. When they arrived, Neji stopped her on the front porch.

 

 

“Brit, are you.....” He was cut off by Brit slamming her lips against his.

 

 

“I missed you Neji-kun,” she whispered resting her head on his chest. Neji smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist. “I missed you too.”

 

 

“Hey! KITTY! Get out here and bring the camera! Neji and Brit are back together!” Temari yelled as she reached her head out of the window.

 

 

“What? Damn, Sakura you won the bet! I thought it would take them at least an hour.”

 

 

“No! I won, I said less than fifteen minutes! Its only been fourteen and a half.”

 

 

Neji and Brit could feel the sweat drops on the back of their heads. Brit tried to step away but was held firmly in place by Neji. “So, did anyone win the bet, Brit-chan?” Neji whispered into her ear.

 

 

“I don't know Neji-kun. I just don't know” Brit whispered back a hint of sadness in her voice.

 

 

 

“Well, isn't this cozy”

 

 

Neji felt Brit flinch as everyone turned to see Itachi standing on the bottom step. “What do you want Itachi” the guitarist asked stepping forward.

 

 

“Come on babe, I screwed up, how about one last chance?” The onyx-eyed boy asked reaching for her arm. She jerked away glaring at him. “That question is so fucked up it isn't even funny. You're shits on the left beside the door.” Itachi returned her glare, but walked past her and throw the hateful stares of every Kunoichi girl present. He returned a few moments later, car keys in hand.

 

 

“Hold on a sec, give me those keys. I bought that Jag, its mine. Go call that little bitch of yours to pick you up. Oh did that slip out? My bad.” Brit said sarcastically extended her hand waiting for the keys. The raven-haired boy stared at her in disbelief before a sneer crossed his face. He tossed the keys over his shoulder into the near by bushes. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed.

 

 

“Hey babe, I need a ride and a place to chill, mind if I put up at your place? Yeah, see you soon.”

 

 

Itachi lifted the bag onto his shoulder and walked out into the front yard. When he reached the sidewalk he sent the suitcase down and turned back to face his now ex-girlfriend. “I think you have to be the most foolish little bitch I've ever met. You're throwing away the best you're ever going to get. No one's going to want a worthless little slut like you. You're nothing without me and you know it. That's why you do stupid shit like this. You just want to put on a show for you dumbass little friends. You're so pathetic you have to cut your arms open and see blood to make yourself feel alive. I'm going to laugh when you put a bullet in your brain. Weak people like you need strong people like me.”

 

 

As Itachi finished his speech a yellow Firebird pulled up to the curb. The woman from the morning opened her door and stepped out. However, she was now wearing a black shirt, completely unbuttoned.

 

 

“HOLY FUCK IT'S A DUDE!” Kitty yelled pointing at the woman's boob-less chest.

 

 

“Itachi-kun are you ready to go” the man asked in a deep baritone voice.

 

 

“Yeah Deidara, I'm coming” Itachi said throwing his suitcase into the back seat. He then pulled Deidara against him and kissed him fully on the lips making certain everyone could see. After they finished their lip lock and drove away, Brit let out a sigh of relief.

 

 

“So, you've been cutting yourself again?” Ino asked.

 

 

“Can you guys yell at me later, I've got a new song I want to record really quickly. You guys go ahead to the living room I'll be there in a minute.” Brit turned and disappeared into the back room they had been using as a music room. Everyone retired to the living room collapsing on the sofa and chairs.

 

 

“What with all this talk about Brit cutting herself.” Yawned Shikamaru.

 

 

“Its weird really, Brit doesn't really seem like the type to go slicing her arms open” Kiba added.

 

 

“Brit just got overwhelmed. She doesn't like burdening other people with her problems. I think the combination of everything over time just wore her down. She was hurting and she wouldn't let anyone see it. Maybe she felt ignored. Maybe she wanted to have something people couldn't ignore. I think it just became habit after awhile. Then we found out that she was doing it. I thought we were going to have to pry Katie off of her. She was beating her ass black and blue. After a lot of crying and promises she swore she'd never do it again. Obviously, that promise didn't hold up.” Temari explained. Katie was sitting beside her staring out the window. Everyone sat in silence for roughly fifteen minutes. They Brit emerged holding a freshly burnt CD.

 

 

“I've got a new opening song for next years tour. Tell me what you think” She said putting the CD into the CD player.

The silence continued for several minutes after the song finished. It was broken by the sound of Kitty's laughter. Slowly, everyone joined in until they were all falling out laughing.

 

 

“So am I forgiven for breaking my promise” Brit asked wiping the tears from her eyes.

 

 

BAM!

 

Kitty's fist made contact with the side of Brit's face slamming her into the wall. She then knelt down and hugged her friend. “You are now”
