Closing his eyes and sighing, for the forth time that night. Sasuke began to wonder why he hadn't run away when he was younger. Then he rememered briefly in the back of his mind, that if he had then he would've left Neji all alone. For some reason he couldn't bring himself to do something so cruel as to leave the lavender eyed boy behind. Closing his eyes for a moment, Sasuke continued his short walk home in his platform sandles. The heavy kimono weighing down on his thin shoulders, 'Why me?' Sasuke thought as he reached the okiha. His family had sold him in their money crisis, well not even a money crisis really. That was an excuse, his aniki found him to be a bother. So in wanting to please their oldest, Sasuke's family sold him to the okiha. Since well, he was far too attractive to be a common whore. Slipping out of the sandles, Sasuke walked up the stairs and into his room. Taking in the surroundings Sasuke saw Neji look up and smile softly at him.

"Sasuke-kun you were out awfully late tonight. Meet anyone?" Neji asked setting down the brush he had been using to tame his wonderfully long brunette hair with. Shaking his head Sasuke kneeled gracefully in front of the other boy. "I see, well bids on our mizuagi take place in two weeks you know. I'm not sure I like the idea of some old man touching me." Neji made a look of disgust at the thought, Sasuke shook his head grabbing a warm towel from the water basin beside the table they were sitting in front of.

"What's to think about really? It's going to happen wheather we like it or not. It's an inevitable part of becoming a full Geisha." Sasuke replied cooly, wiping the make-up off his face with the towel mechanically. Neji sighed tilting his head to the side, Sasuke was always so indifferent to such things. Picking up the brush Neji had layed down, Sasuke put the towel back in the water basin. Standing up briefly Sasuke moved behind Neji, and kneeled behind him smoothly. "Stop looking like a kicked puppy, you know it's true I was just stating fact." Sasuke said calmly hating the disappointed look on his friends face.

"I know, I just wish there was something more than all this." Neji spoke softly, as Sasuke began to gently brush the long hair into some kind of order. Neji began to relax at the feeling of having his hair brushed. "S-stop it Sasuke. Your making me sleepy." Sasuke smirked at this, watching as his friend tried to hold back a yawn.

"I don't know what your talking about, I'm not doing anything Neji-kun." Sasuke replied in an all too sweet tone. A fiew minutes later. Tying the hair in a white ribbon, Sasuke had seemingly produced from out of no where. He layed his now sleeping friend on a pillow he had found cluttering the room.

Yawning, Naruto looked over at his red-headed friend grinning. "I can't wait, till we get Kyoto! Do you know how many beautiful women are there?! Your bound to find someone you'll like." Naruto said, practically bouncing in his seat. Gaara simply rolled his eyes at the annoying blonde.

"Shut up Naruto. What if I don't like women?" Gaara asked irritatedly.

"Then we'll look for men!" Naruto replied, not fazed at all by Gaara's response.

"What if I'm asexual?"

"Not with me around you aren't." Replied the grinning blonde. Gaara just groaned in reply, he was doomed.
