Nikki sat on a bench at her favorite park, her head in her hands.
"I wonder what mother would tell me at a time like this..." she muttered, Nikki had been thinking of her parents a lot more lately, they had been killed when she was very young and that Sasuke`s brother had killed them, like he had killed his own parents.
"I wonder.... should I break up with Naruto for Sasuke`s happiness...." she cried.
"You can`t always make everyone happy Nikki-chan...." said a voice from behind Nikki.
'Who is this person, this voice seems familiar, but it is to calm to be his....' Nikki thought.
"Fate shouldn`t be changed to make people happy, that is foolish."
Nikki sighed, "Hi Neji..." she muttered, right when she had said fate, it had automatically told Nikki who it was, for someone who was so smart and handsome, you wouldn`t think he`d ramble on about fate, but he did and it drove Nikki insane.
"Nikki!" yelled Naruto as he ran to her, Sasuke was behind him, apparently they had figured out she had left and then, amazingly, figured out where she had gone.
"Uchiha...." Neji said with a smirk.
Sasuke stopped, smirking, "Hyuuga..."
"Hi Neji!" Naruto yelled happily as he stopped and sat next to Nikki.
"Neji, can you like come stand in front of me and actually join the group instead of standing back there like you are some villan...." Nikki muttered, obviously irritated that she was surrounded by guys when she had originally come here to be alone after Sasuke and Naruto`s glaring match had started. She felt Naruto grab her hand and hold it as if he understood what was wrong, which he probably did.
Neji now stood beside Sasuke, and Nikki could tell there was some tension between them.
"Naruto, do you really love me, or do you love Sasuke?" Nikki asked calmly, though Sasuke, Naruto, and Neji could tell there was some worry in her voice.
"I love you Nikki," he said, pulling her closer to him.
"Naruto.... please don`t lie to me..." she whispered.
He frowned, "I love both you and Sasuke, I guess," he muttered. This only made both Sasuke and Neji frown as some hurt formed in Nikki`s eyes.
"Please be with Sasuke then, because, even if he won`t admit it, he loves you, Naruto, he loves you a lot," she whispered, pulling away from him and giving him a large grin.
"Nikki, you can`t fool me with that smile, and I won`t leave you like that," Naruto said firmly.
Nikki frowned, "Naruto, if you truely love me, you`d do this for me, Sasuke, don`t act like you hate Naruto, you were meant for eachother, you both are like the Sun and the Moon, Day and Night, complete opposites but you go together."
Sasuke grabbed Naruto`s hand and looked up the sky, his face was emotionless, Naruto stared at Sasuke, "Is she right Sasuke?"
"....Yes," he replied.
"Go on Naruto, I`ll see you at the apartment," she said, trying to sound happy as Sasuke pulled Naruto off.
Neji sat next to Nikki, "Why did you do that?"
"Because, while they are the Sun and the Moon, I am merely a star, stars are never seen during the day and there are millions of them out there," she responded.
He stared and shook his head, "Nikki, why don`t you just say it is because they are your friends?"
"I didn`t think it could be that simple..." she sighed.
"Well, it is," he stated.
"I guess, thanks for staying Neji," she whispered, putting her head on his shoulder and falling asleep.
Nikki woke up in her bed the next morning, "What?" she muttered, looking around.
"Neji brought you home!" she heard Naruto say.
She noticed Naruto was sitting right next to her, "Really? I`ll have to thank him, did you have fun with Sasuke?"
naruto sighed, "Do you want some ramen?"
Apparently Naruto didn`t want to talk about his and Sasuke`s new relationship, especially since she had been the one to give up Naruto, despite the hurt, so he could be with Sasuke. He didn`t want to see her cry.
She frowned, "I guess, but you`ll have to answer me sooner or later."
"I think I`ll stick with later," Naruto said, smiling.
She sighed, "Fine."
