The Fox & The Raven | NaruSasu |

10.

Naruto was indeed having too much of a good time with Sasuke, Hinata and Hanabi. He would say Neji as well, but considering the fact that Neji stared at him everytime Sasuke touched him, he wasn't so sure.

He quickly looked up from his phone and seen Neji staring at Sasuke, as he laughed loudly at Hinata. Naruto tucked his phone into his pants pocket and before long, his eyes met Neji's. Naruto stood.

"Uh, which way is the bathroom?" He spoke.

"Down the hall second door on the left." Neji replied. "Want me to show you?"

"If you dont mind." Naruto says. Neji stood and walked. Sasuke feeling a little uneasy about the situation as He watched as the two of them walk away.

Neji placed his hand on the door of the bathroom and turned around pressing his back against the door. He looked Naruto up and down trying to figure him out. Naruto stood his ground, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Is that the bathroom?" Naruto says.

"It is." Neji replies smugly. "How long have you known Sasuke?"

"Heh, shoulda known." Naruto says under his breath. "For some months."

"Months?" Neji's eyes raised in amusement. "Tch."

"How's that hard to believe?" Naruto shrugged.

Neji looked Naruto over again. "You like him don't you?" He asked. His eyes narrowing as he spoke. A smug smirk playing on his lips.

Naruto's eyebrows furrowed. "Why does that matter?"

"Answer my question." He says.

"Do you?" Naruto shot back crossing his arms. He looked Neji over as well.

"So he hasn't told you?" Neji chuckles, clearly amused at how uncomfortable this conversation has gotten for Naruto. Naruto frowned. What was Sasuke not telling him?

"Sasuke and I dated." Neji says, arrogance dripping on his words. He even had the audacity to cross his arms and smirk.

"Dated?" Naruto says taken slightly back.

"As in he's my ex boyfriend." Neji says.

"I know what that means." Naruto frowns. "But what does that have to do with me?"

"He's using you." Neji says flatly. "He's not over me. He only brought you here to try and make me jealous."

Naruto felt a pang in his heart. He knew Neji was lying. But something in the back of his mind told him to believe it.

Naruto chewed on his lip. "That's not true." He says weakly. Neji, hearing the doubt in the blonde's voice smiled.

"Oh? You think so?" He mocked. "It's a fact that Sasuke will never be over me no matter how many times he says he is. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought you here to meet us. If Sasuke was truly over me, he would've been protective of you. He would've brought you to the bathroom." Neji smirked. "Instead he let you walk with his ex boyfriend. Just so I can tell you he's my Ex. Before you start calling yourself 'liking someone',know them first. You're a rebound. Nothing more." Neji let his words sink in as he pushed himself off the door and opened the bathroom before walking by Naruto, being sure to bump his shoulder as he passed.

Naruto was fuming. He turned and headed back to the Den. Once he entered the room, Sasuke looked at him. His eyebrows formed together in worry as if he was asking Naruto was he okay. Naruto tore his gaze from the raven and walked to his seat to sit down. Neji sat there in all his mocking glory, watching the two interact.
