Neji's milky white-violet eyes fluttered open slowly, the boy not quite awake yet. He sat up slowly, his long brunette hair falling gracefully over his pale shoulders. He stretched, yawning while tossing his legs over the side, his white baggy pants riding up slightly before falling back down as he stood.
He sighed, still not completely taking in his surroundings.
"Ugh… I haven't slept that soundly in ages… ah, I don't remember the last time I slept so well." He yawned making his way over to the large wooden door. "I hope Hinata hasn't gotten in the bathroom yet…" He trailed off.
Mumbling slightly, he raised his hand to the cold iron doorknob and tried to open it… "Hmm?" Neji looked down at the doorknob, now fully awake. "What the…?" he tried again, shaking the knob and pulling forcefully against the hinges, but to no avail.
"It's… locked?" more a statement than a question.
Neji's eye's widened in surprise. His eyes darted all around, finally taking in his unfamiliar surroundings. "This isn't my room…" he rushed to the only source of light in the entire room, a tiny window. It was barred and not big enough to fit through even if the bars weren't there.
He looked outside, for miles, all he saw were trees. Not one single building or manmade structure as far as the eye could see. "This isn't even the leaf village!"
Neji's eyes widened once again, this time in fear. *Dear God, please no* Neji thought, running back to the door, shaking the knob and pounding on it desperately.
"H-HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME…. ANYBODY, HELP!" Neji cried out, pounding on the heavy door, inwardly praying that this was some sort of joke… Naruto was studying Gen-Jutsu right?
*Yeah, it's a Jutsu. Maybe it's Naruto and Kiba…* "Okay, guys. You got me! Good one… will you let me out now?" Neji asked nervously, his voice still holding an edge of panic.
There was no reply.
Neji glared, looking around the room in frustration. "I'm serious guys. If this is some sort of joke, I swear I will kill you." He threatened, balling his hands into fists.
He sighed, shaking his head and scowling. *I don't have time for this. I need to break the jutsu.* He quickly formed several hand signs; each so fast they looked to be nothing more than a blur. "RELEASE!" He shouted. He looked around and grit his teeth as fear was reintroduced to his mind. Nothing happened.
"Dammit." He spat, finally coming to understand his situation. "It would appear as though I've been captured." His scowl deepened, his eyebrows knitting together as they were pulled down into a glare.
"Byakugan!" Neji summoned his Byakugan and scanned the perimeter. Their were chakra seals everywhere obstructing his view. He couldn't see anything. He couldn't even determine how big this alleged prison was. "Damn…" he cursed under his breath.
Orochimaru had been awake all night explaining his plan to Kabuto and finalizing the details.
Orochimaru chuckled darkly, smiling at Kabuto and sitting back in his chair (or throne). "Kabuto-kun, please bring in Hyuga-san. I'll summon Sasuke myself." He ordered politely in a sickeningly sweet voice. Kabuto bowed with a "Yes Master" and turned to leave, but before he could get through the door, he was stopped. "Oh, and Kabuto… make sure he is bound. We wouldn't want him escaping." He snickered. Kabuto nodded with a smirk and left down the halls toward Neji's room.
On the way Kabuto picked up a few chains from his lab and hooked them to his belt. Upon arriving at Neji's room, he heard grunting and banging inside. Opening the iron door slightly, he was greeted with the sight of Neji pounding against the walls; his eye power released and his fists glowing blue.
The sound of iron screeching open alerted Neji of another person's presence immediately. Turning around quickly and crouching into a fighting stance, Neji raised his hands in a defensive position. "Who are you and what do you want?" Neji spat. It was more of a command than a question.
Kabuto chuckled and readjusted his glasses. "My, my, that's not a very polite greeting." Kabuto's hands began to glow and the spot on Neji's forehead glowed with it. Neji groaned and fell to his knees with a weak thud. "Argh… w-what did you do to me?" he gasped.
Kabuto grinned. "Last night when I abducted you, I placed a sleeping genjutsu on you that is triggered when a certain amount of chakra is released from my hand. Naturally I don't want you asleep right now, so I'm holding back." He explained smugly, walking to Neji and grabbing him by the wrists.
Neji struggled as best he could against Kabuto's hold, but found he was too weak. Kabuto was still releasing little jolts of chakra from his hands, making sure that Neji stayed weak and defenseless. "L-let go of me… you…" he growled groggily. Kabuto chuckled, taking the chains off of his belt and snapping the shackles around Neji's thin wrists and yanking the young Hyuga to his feet.
Neji winced as he was pulled to as standing position. "Che…" he hissed as he was pulled from his "room" and into a dark hallway. Neji struggle to keep his composure as he stumbled over his own feet, trying to shake the jutsu's hold on his body. "B-bastard."
Orochimaru smiled widely as he approached the young Uchiha. Sasuke had been practicing a new technique in the training area and had nearly gotten it before Orochimaru interrupted. Sasuke looked at his mentor emotionlessly. "What do you want?" he asked irritably.
Orochimaru chuckled at the younger's impatience. "You remember yesterday when I told you that I was going to make some changes concerning your future, Sasuke-kun? I told you that I would tell you someday." he asked, smirking. Sasuke raised a brow and nodded, motioning for him to continue. "Well, that day is today. Please, coming with me." He motioned for the Uchiha to follow him and then lead the way.
Sasuke followed, all the while looking on with suspicion.
They arrived in the main hall, a sort of throne room slash business room. Orochimaru sat down in his large chair and told Sasuke to stand beside him. "Sasuke-kun. I have noticed that you have been rather… lonely-" "What?-" "Don't interrupt. You've been lonely, so I decided that in order to make you stronger, and satisfy your heart, you should marry." He finished.
Sasuke's eyes widened before narrowing dangerously. "What are you talking about? I'm not getting married!" He said firmly, straightening his posture. "Oh, but Sasuke, I have already selected the ideal bride for you." Orochimaru grinned. Sasuke looked at Orochimaru, glaring death at him. "I refuse." Sasuke said firmly.
Orochimaru's smile widened. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that refusal isn't an option. This will make you stronger, training you to deal with situations I could never provide lessons for. And besides, Kabuto has already captured him." He explained.
Sasuke's glare intensified. "'HIM'?" he screeched. "Kabuto! You can come in now." He clapped and the door sung open. Kabuto grinned and walked inside, pulling Neji in behind him by the chain.
Sasuke's eyes widened as his eyes fell on Neji being roughly handled by Kabuto. Neji was clad in white pajamas and his hair was in disarray. He looked angry and in pain, frustrated and scared. "Le-let g-go of me…" he panted, the jutsu induced exhaustion finally taking it's toll on his body.
His soft and tired violet eyes fell on Sasuke with surprise. "S-Sasuke…" he exhaled.
Orochimaru chuckled evilly. "Sasuke, I am proud to announce your soon to be bride, Neji Hyuga." Sasuke's eyes were now about as large as they could comfortably get, his composure and emotionless mask now nearly completely disheveled.
"Me marry Neji? NO!" Sasuke roared. Orochimaru just shook his head. "I told you, you don't have a choice. And besides, this will make you stronger like I said before." He explained. "But we're both MEN!" He protested loudly. Orochimaru giggled again, glancing at Kabuto. "Well actually, I know of a special procedure that would allow me to give neji all of the organs and bodily functions needed for carrying a child." Kabuto explained, pushing up his glasses with a smirk.
Neji pulled against the chains. "N-no…" he spat out. Kabuto chuckled and forced Neji's arms above his head and lifted him from the ground by the chain. "I'm afraid you don't have a choice either. Don't worry, I'll make it as painless as possible…" he trailed off placing his free hand on Neji's lower abdomen. "Just a few incisions here, here, and here and it'll all be over before you know it." He tried to explain, running his hand over all the places he intended to change.
Neji growled in protest to the touches. "G-get off of me and p-put me do-down. Now…" he ordered, glaring weakly down at Kabuto. "Heh, and what if I don't want to-" "Put him down." Sasuke interrupted. Kabuto smiled to himself, knowing from the beginning that Sasuke would try to defend the boy.
Orochimaru noticed Sasuke's protective nature as well and smiled. *Perfect… they like each other and they don't even know it.* he thought cheerfully.
Kabuto put Neji down gently (but tried to make it 'look' rough) and threw the chain to Sasuke, who caught it, looking at Kabuto with a confused expression. Kabuto pushed Neji forward, sending the poor disillusioned boy off balance, making him fall against Sasuke's chest.
"Oof!" he grunted as he hit Sasuke's hard, toned chest. He struggled to regain his footing but Kabuto secretly sent another surge of chakra to his forehead, causing him to lean into Sasuke. Neji placed his hands on Sasuke's chest to try pushing away, only to find himself too weak to do so. He looked up at Sasuke with a weak scowl, but his eyes hinted an apologetic air.
"D-dammit… Sas-Sasuke… you…" Before he could finish, Kabuto sent a wave of chakra surging through his hand, landing itself in Neji shortly after, causing Neji to pass out completely. Neji's grip weakened and he fell back unconscious. Sasuke quickly reached forward and scooped Neji up in his arms before he could hit the floor and held him bridal style.
Kabuto smirked to himself, having already guessed the outcome of every move he could make.
Sasuke scowled, standing back up. "What did you do to him?" he asked crossly. "It's nothing to get upset about Sasuke, I have him under a sleeping genjutsu I used to transport him here." Kabuto explained. "Here, let me explain how it works so you can use it as you see fit." He smirked.
"First, the pressure point is in his forehead, inside the clan tattoo. You don't necessarily have to touch him in order for it to work, but it's easier if you can touch that specific area. You channel a small amount of chakra in your hand and transfer it to Neji's tattoo through either touch or using your mind." Kabuto demonstrated by holding up his hand and making it glow with focused chakra.
Sasuke nodded in understanding and turned to Orochimaru. "So what do we do now?" he asked, tightening his grip on the Hyuga sleeping in his arms. Orochimaru smiled coyly. "Well you might want to take him to your room…" he trailed off.
Sasuke accidentally allowed a light pink blush to dust his cheeks. "Wha?-" "To get him some clothes, Sasuke-kun. But of course, if you already feel like 'doing him' you could always just-" "SHUT UP!" Sasuke shouted, effectively cutting him off, glaring harshly at him. "I'll go get him dressed." "Oh just so you know, Sasuke-kun. Your room has been stocked with everything you two might need." The Sannin winked suggestively at Sasuke, eyeing Neji pervertedly.
Sasuke allowed the light pink blush to darken to dark pink.
Just as Sasuke turned to leave he was stopped by Kabuto's voice. "Oh and Sasuke… I cast that jutsu keeping him weak with a few kinks. True, it can put him to sleep, but if you channel enough chakra to place him on the verge of sleep, I have it wired to release a chemical in the brain that acts as a natural aphrodisiac…. Hahaha…. Just thought you should know." Kabuto chuckled darkly, a knowing smirk on his face. Sasuke turned quickly again to leave. Marching out quickly, an embarrassed blush now turning his cheeks a light red, giving him a healthy glow.
*Bastards…* he thought, trying to erase the mental images from his mind.
