A/N/T: Okay, normally, I would never write anything like this, but I think it's still a fairly acurate take on the dark side of Neji and Gaara's psych/relationship. If you don't like it, then, oh well. Feel free to review, or not. Flames will be thought of as highly amusing. This fic is somewhere under 300 words

Writers: Tenchi

Warnings: Implied Yaoi, masochism, sadism, darkfic

Pairings: Neji/Gaara

Pain…. Most people spend their lives trying to avoid it, trying to stop it….. I don't. I love it. Wonderful, delicious, hurting. So rarely touched as a child, never loved. Exquisite pain. The pain of loneliness, of being feared and hated, so few understand it. So few understand me…..

But he does. He understands me perfectly as he hurts me, as I hurt him. Kissing, biting, bruising, cutting, anything to cause pain. Anything to cause wonderfully pleasing pain. He's like me. Pain and Pleasure are one to him, are one to me.

He tangles slim and pale fingers into my hair as I pull harshly on his ebon hair. His soft growl sends a shiver down my spine as I look into eyes as blank and pale as the moon. He harshly pulls my head back and his teeth clamp over my throat bruising my skin and cutting off my air supply.

I love him. I love him for the pain he is so adept at giving me. I love the way his blank eyes flash possessively when we pass in the street, the way those same eyes burn at night as we hurt each other.

No body knows that we are together. Nobody would understand. After all, what on earth could bring Hyuuga Neji and Gaara of the Desert together? What could they possibly find similar in each other?

The answer was simple. Pain.
