Chapter 1

In the fields of the fire country a large area had began to heal itself from an intense battle between a group of Shinobi. To the east of it a crater full of rock had stayed silent for around four years now. The animals around the crater became restless and fled.

A blood thirsty shrill scream filled the quiet summer air. A man pushed the rocks off him and climbed out of the hole. He stumbled at first due to his muscles not being used in such a long time.

He lifted his piercing pink eyes to the sky and yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Damn you, Nara! I'll kill you!" Hidan chuckled and ran his hands over his healed face.

Jashin has healed me, he wishes for me to carry out his will and I will do so full heartily!

The silver haired male looked in disgust at the tattered Akatsuki cloak and ripped it from his healed body as he began to race towards Konoha.

"Shika" Neji Hyuuga hesitated as he looked up at the cloud lover. The Nara hummed into his neck and sucked softly. "Are you sure…about this…?"

"Are you scared?" Shikamaru smirked at his Hyuuga lover. Neji's pride shot in and he scowled, muttering. "Don't answer with a question."

"I love you" Shikamaru watched as the long haired brunette flustered and looked at him, softening his expression. Then his clear lavender eyes began to flicker and Neji became almost embarrassed as he whisper. "I…I love you too"

"Do you trust me?" Shikamaru asked as Neji carefully wrapped his arms around the cloud lover. "Of course"

"Then remember, I won't do anything you don't like." The Chunin genius sucked softly on the back of the Hyuuga's ear.

"If I do something wrong, tell me" Neji said losing his stern tone and let his breath hitch as the Nara's tongue moved under his chin, licking and sucking, making the Hyuuga blush a little.

The long haired brunette gasped as Shikamaru ran a hand along his thigh, gripping his butt softly. "S-Shika…"

Bam!

The two Shinobi looked up in a hurry to see a pink haired Konoichi blushing the same color as her hair. "Oh my…Sorry to intrude on you two but Tsunade-Sama wants you guys."

Sakura avert her eyes as the two fixed their clothes and the Hyuuga retied his hair.

"Ugh…that crazy hokage has the worst timing." Shikamaru grunted and he rubbed the back of his head. Neji shot him a look and cleared his throat.

"Thank you for telling us Sakura-San" The female ninja smiled and motioned for them to follow her.

"An A-rank? But I just got back from one yesterday." The Nara groaned as the Hokage tried to keep her cool. Between dealing with Naruto and Konohamaru she was not in the mood to deal with the Nara's piss poor attitude.

"Hokage-Sama, may I hear how I fit into this mission?" Neji asked, pinching the cloud lover and sending him an aggravated look for disrespecting the Hokage.

"Oh, Neji you're going on a different mission than Shikamaru" Tsunade handed the Hyuuga two folders.

"Shikamaru, your's will take a couple days so I'll see you off in the morning."

"Yes Ma'am." The Nara muttered as Neji handed him his folder.

The two exited the office and walked back down the stairs of the Hokage's building. Neji raised an eyebrow and asked.

"What's wrong? It's just another mission." Shikamaru gripped Neji's folder and held the long haired brunette's hand that the folder had been in. He leaned over and kissed the Hyuuga's cheek. "Nothing"

The older male blushed and he hissed at the cloud lover. "Don't do that in public"

"Why not?" Shikamaru smirked and bit Neji's ear lobe softly as they walked down the street. The Hyuuga glared at him and hissed again. "Not in public."

"Fine, you win." Nara smiled; the best thing he loved about the Hyuuga was that Neji would only let him steal kisses and blushes. Almost no one else in the whole village had seen the barricaded Hyuuga with any expression other than one of annoyance or disapproval.

"I love you" The cloud devotee whispered as he walked close to his long haired lover. To his slight surprised the Hyuuga whispered back. "I love you too"

"I'm gonna miss you" Shikamaru cooed as he stood at the village gate with Neji and his team. The Hyuuga stood there head held high as he said, trying to sound like he was fine with the Nara leaving for a few days. "Just hurry up and finish your mission."

The cloud lover placed his forehead on the Hyuuga's headband covered one. He saw the slight color rise out of Neji's cheeks and the tiny, little quiver of worry in his lavender eyes. Shikamaru smiled and kissed his cheek softly before he turned to his teammates.

"Aw…" Ino sniffled at the cuteness of the scene. She quickly wiped the small tears from her eyes "You two are gonna make me cry even more."

"Ino, you're over reacting" Chouji chuckled as he stuffed a piece of mochi into his mouth. He got the pleasure of listening to Shikamaru go on and on about the Hyuuga every day. Tsunade walked over with Sakura and called out.

"I'm assigning Sakura to this mission as well." Shikamaru looked at the Hokage, something was up. Why would the need a medical ninja, much less Sakura, on an infiltration mission. They had Ino, who was help enough if someone got hurt.

"It's just a precaution; I felt that you might need some extra help."

#

"Neji Hyuuga you understand the significance of this mission, don't you?" Tsunade starred the Hyuuga down as he stood in her office.

"I treat every mission I am assigned with the up most importance, Ma'am" She had a slight grim look on her face. Her eyes pierced at the Brunette.

"If this gets out, Konoha is gonna have some blood on our hands. Finish this quickly and quietly."

Neji bowed and answered, breathing carefully "Of course, Hokage-Sama"

"You'll have a few other Shinobi to help you out. Sai, Lee, Tenten and Naruto" Before the Hyuuga could even question Tsunade sighed and explained. "He was one of the few that fought against your target."

"To my knowledge so did Team Asuma." Neji sent her a questioning look. She glared in returned and asked. "What if I sent you on a mission to kill the Shinobi that kidnapped Hinata and caused your Father to give his life for Hiashi?"

The brunette stood froze; he knew the answer all too clearly. He'd let his emotions get the best of his and he'd most likely fail the mission. His eyes raised and he swallowed slowly.

"Alright I understand, I will see to the disposal of Akatsuki member, Hidan"
