Hey guys. I've been wanting to post
this story for a hell of a long time but my
computer was being an anal and wouldn't
let me. Sigh, well now it's up and it's my first
Yaoi. Also, this story contains Yaoi(of course),
Rape, Abuse, and... well I think that about covers
it. Well, enjoy and please review. Also, if you do not
like Neji, Shikamaru, or Gaara, I suggest you skiddatle.
They're pretty much the main characters. Thanks :D


"Hey Gaara, where you going?" The one of the three boys headed towards the door. "I've heard Deidara and Sasori are back, might as well go to them before they come for me." The other two nodded as he left the room.

"He's lucky, Deidara actually let's him leave the room without permission." "Yeah, at least we only have three in the room, some share with seven." "Always looking for the bright side aren't you, Shikamaru."

Shikamaru smirk, "just to lazy to complain, Neji." Shikamaru layed back, staring at the ceiling, "these damn rooms are so musky." "Like they give a damn about are health", Neji replied, laying next to the lazy boy.

Shikamaru sighed. "I'd prefer to look at clouds, instead of a wet, rocky ceiling." The boys were located in the basement area of the warehouse. There wasn't much in the room, just a broke down bed, a barely usable shower, a crate used as a night stand, and candle, melting away like there hope.

The boys' clothes were limited. They only wore black boxers and a collar to match. Neji rolled on his side.

"Shika, what did we do to get here?" Shikamaru faced him. "I guess being inferior. If you were found by someone stronger than you and you couldn't stand your ground, they took you as there pet, like a game of cat and mouse I suppose..."

"You... you beat Hidan, didn't you?" "Yeah, would of won if Kakuza didn't attack me." "But! But... that isn't fair, I thought it could only be one-on-one." Stroking Neji's cheek with his hand, he replied, "life isn't fair, you just gotta stand your ground and face it like a man."

They leaned in, lips only inches apart intill Shikamaru stopped. Pulling back, he said, "as much as I want to, i'd rather not see one of use get punished... again." Neji nodded, and looked down. "You mad at me?" Neji looked at him and smiled. "Mad, no. Dissappointed, kinda." Shikamaru chuckled, then started coughing.

"Damn, gotta calm myself down, this collar is practically sucking the life out of me." The black collars around their necks didn't just serve as a accessery. Whenever their chakra started to gain, the collar suck it out of them. Neji traced the name imprinted into his collar. "Itachi...", he whispered.

He constantly hated himself for not being able to take him on. The door opened and Gaara walked in. Sitting next to them, he hugged and burrowed his head in his knees. Shikamaru and Neji sat up, "hey Gaara, are you-." Gaara put his hand up. "Please don't ask", he mumbled. Neji moved closer to him.

Putting his arm around Gaara, he said, "it's gonna be okay." Caring motions like that were okay. Spending three years together does that to you. But he would of never thought of that when they first met. Everyone was pretty nerve recked when they first got captured. And being put in a room with two other strangers didn't help.

Soon after Shikamaru started talking to Neji and as time past they got closer to Gaara. Then they started talking to him and it seemed like they were childhood friends. The door started to open and Gaara went stiff. A girl around their age timidly walked in. The brightness of her hair made the boys' eyes cringed.

"Um, ah, here", she said, handing a tray to Shikamaru. "Sakura, how's it been up there?", Gaara questioned the servent. She sat down in the circle they recreated, "it's been okay, I suppose. Ever since Master Sasori got back he's been yelling orders at me. He says that I take to long doing simple task and it's pissing him off.

I think something went wrong at the mission." Gaara nodded, "Deidara said they were trying to capture two more but they were stopped." Sakura sighed with adorement. "Tsunade-sama, I wish I could go to her refuge." Tsunade believes in equal rights so instead of enslaving the people she came across she let them stay at her house.

Her close friend, Jiraya, was on the same band wagon as her and would protect the land as Tsunade scotted. One you got in a three mile radiace you were safe because they usually have their force field up. The only way you got ast was depending on your chakra.

If the person's chakra was pure it would usually let you through, but, if it was tainted, one touch could burst you to flames. Shikamaru started to pass around the fruit. As they shared Gaara nodded again, "yes I think we all want to go there, so, any news lately?"

Sakura put a grape in her mouth, a finger on her chin, and looked up in thoughtfulness she said, "yeah, Master Sasori and Deidara-san managed to catch someone, it seems as though Tsunade-sama couldn't save them both." She had a sad ring to her tone at the last part. Shikamaru spoke up, "so do you know who she is?"

The girl shook her head, "she won't say her name, all they know is she's around are age and-", she suddenly stopped and quickly glanced at Neji. The pale eyed boy's stare hardened. 'What was she going to say', the Hyuga thought to himself. "She's most likely a decendant of the once Hyuga clan."
