A/N: sup kiddies.

I'm hitting a weird writers block so I've decided to just go with the flow and update as the plot bunny hits which is pretty often so I wouldn't worry too much. Despite the fact that I have a buncha stories going I'm sure I can handle it.

This chapter is super short. But it was really just meant to wrap up the last chapter so yeah.

Usual apologies

Disclaimer: I own nothing

The man's cut and bruised lips spread apart to reveal normally pearly white teeth that were stained with blood. His arms ached under the strain of his own weight, while the two masked figures held him up and restrained.

Ko opened his one unharmed eye and his smile grew even bigger as he looked up at the pale eyed man glaring down at him with ice cold rage.

"Have you had enough yet, master Neji."

Neji sneered down at the man and his blood stained fists clenched, before he suddenly moved and delivered a blow to the side of Ko's head.

The older man's head snapped to the side and he let out a groan as his jaw continued to ache in agonising pain. Neji pulled off the tie that had been hanging loosely from his neck and tossed it across the room, not caring that his shirt crisp white shirt was stained with blood.

He saw it coming.

He would have been an idiot to not see this coming.

Ko's just surprised that Neji didn't figure it out sooner.

"You were born into the Hyuuga family Ko, you have worked in my uncle's personal guard for more than ten years. You of all people should know that betrayal is something we just don't allow here." Neji paced the short distance of four feet in front of the man before coming to a stop to crouch down in front of him and pinning him in a glare.

"What I don't understand is what motives you could have possibly had for betraying the family of your ancestors. What could Lee have possibly offered you for you to help him escape me?"

Something flashed in Ko's eyes, something hard and protective until the older man's eyes filled with amusement and he smirked as he spoke.

"The same thing he gave to you."

Neji said nothing as his glare got even more deadly with every passing second.

"He never actually asked me to help him escape. He asked me to make him feel good." Ko's smirk grew even wider while he stared up at Neji with complete and total utter seriousness. "You wanna know what Lee said? Lee said that you disgust him, the said that every time you touch him he feels like ripping off his skin and setting it on fire."

Neji stood up straight and just watched as the man kept his one good eye on him, "He practically begged for me to do it, you know. On his knees, just screamed for me to fuck him." Ko licked his bloodied lips as his voice suddenly dropped to a clearly audible whisper. "Just before he screamed on his back and on his stomach and round my-OOF!"

The man was cut off when Neji gave him a blow to the head that was so hard the masked henchmen were forced to let go and he fell to the ground. Much to everyone's surprise Ko only groaned for a second before he started laughing.

"God, Lee was a fine little piece wasn't he, master Neji?"

Neji's hands clenched into fists as he kicked the older man in the ribs, making him let out a yelp off pain. Ko coughed and gagged but still managed to chuckle as he rolled around on the floor in pain.

"Ha-I...ngh- I wonder what he sounded like when he-ugh ugh- said your name...I doubt it sounded better than the way he said mine-ugh!" Ko turned back and forced both his eyes open so he could give his master a beaming bloody smile and spoke in a pained raspy voice. "Then again, usually Lee just kept begging me for more."

Neji's face stayed in that cold expression as he attacked Ko, mercilessly punching and kicking the bloodied figure on the floor over and over again until the older man stopped laughing and moving altogether.

Neji pulled back glaring down at Ko's body with seething anger as his chest heaved painfully, until he spat down on him and turned back towards a small table in the corner of his office.

The pale eyed man took a deep breath as he stared at the amber liquid inside a bottle on the table before opening the see through vessel to pour some whiskey into a glass. "Make sure he's checked out and then put him in one of the cells." Neji shot over his shoulder as he took a sip of the burning liquid.

The guards gave grunts of confirmation as they picked up the man on the floor and carried him out the door. Neji turned back to find a large red stain on his carpet and frowned when the rooms only other occupant suddenly spoke.

"I'm surprised you didn't kill him."

The pale eyed man turned to stare at Hanabi who was sitting quite comfortably at his desk with her feet up on the table and a glass of red wine in her hand. The girl's sand colored dress had pooled down to her waist and her hair hung clumsily over her eyes as usual.

"He hasn't out lived his use just yet." Neji said calmly as he walked around the desk and nudged her out of his chair before dropping down into it himself.

Hanabi gave a huff as she was evicted from the chair before she sat down on the desk with one leg crossed over the other. "You're usually so touchy about that freak, what's wrong? Gotten over your little beastiality fetish."

Neji's eyes snapped up and he glared at the girl, "I'm still very touchy about that boy so I think I should remind you to keep your mouth shut when it comes to Lee."

Hanabi rolled her eyes, "So you're O.K with anyone, screwing what's yours as long as they don't say anything mean?"

"Ko's lying." The pale eyed man said as he sank back into the chair.

"Yeah, how can you tell?"

"I've seen him when he's around Lee, Ko treats Lee like he's his son. I seriously doubt that he'd actually sleep with him."

"Who knows," Hanabi shrugged, "Some people are into that, you know, incest."

Neji raised an eyebrow at the girl, "People like you?"

The girl grinned, "Yes well, you've already turned me down so I guess I'll never know."

Neji's nose wrinkled in disgust, "Exactly what are you doing here Hanabi? Don't you have better things to do somewhere else?"

The girl gave a dramatic sigh, "I came here to talk to you, but since you were busy with better things I figured I could wait until you finished."

"Well, what is it?"

Hanabi's face suddenly turned serious, "Why are you so insistent on finding that boy?"

"Because he's mine, my things need to stay with me."

"Oh get over yourself!" Hanabi scowled, "Let it go, there are plenty of freaks out there for you to screw. You don't need this one."

"Why do you care? Its not like I'm using your money and resources to find him?" Neji's eyes narrowed in suspicion until they widened a bit and the man smirked, "I get it."

"Get what?"

"You don't want me to find Lee, because wherever he is its probably with Hinata. And if lord Hiashi finds her, your inheritance goes straight to her."

Hanabi glared, "I think you're forgetting that your inheritance will go along with mine. You stand to lose just as much as I do if she comes back. You have to help me, you can still find the boy just make sure father doesn't find my sister once you do."

"No I won't." Neji smirked, "My inheritance comes from my father, not yours. If Hinata should return, I'll lose absolutely nothing. So tell me, what will I stand to gain from helping you?"

The girls eyes went wide and she stuttered for a moment until she spoke, "What about the Cursed Seal project?"

"What about it?"

"That project is worth two billion Neji, if Hinata comes back, Father will sign everything over to her and neither of us will see a cent of that money."

"My bank account is large enough, I don't need anymore than I already have."

"Sure about that?" Hanabi set her glass down on the table and moved so she had Neji in her gaze. "Think about it, that kind of money could buy your freedom. You could drop off the face of the earth and no one would find you, not even the elders. You could go off with that little abomination of yours and no one would ever find you."

Neji paused as he stared at the girl who slid off the desk and leaned in until she was less than two inches away from his lips. "Father has spent years looking for Hinata, we both know he's been guilt ridden that entire time. If she comes back, she'll not only have the power to take everything away from me but she'll take everything away from you too. You know she was against you getting Lee, if she comes back, you know she'll make sure you never see him again."

The pale eyed man sat still and stared into the girls eyes when Hanabi suddenly leaned in to place a kiss in his lips before pulling away completely.

The girl took her glass and left the room but not before giving one more glance back at Neji over her shoulder.

"Think about it cousin, freedom with Lee or nothing without Lee."

Sasuke watched from the wall on the other side of the living room as the pale girl smiled down at the raven haired boy sleeping with his head on her lap.

Almost two hours had gone by since Hinata and Naruto first arrived and in that time Lee had cried, laughed, screamed, cried some more, laughed some more until he eventually just wore himself out and passed out in Hinata's arms.

Sasuke tilted his head to the side as he watched the boy sleep while Hinata gently stroked his hair. Something strangely possessive growled in anger at that and the Uchiha could help but let his eyes narrow into a glare. Even though he really doesn't have the right to do so. If what Naruto told him was true, not only did Hinata leave her family to be with his blond but she was the only one who protected Lee while they still lived on the Hyuuga compound.

Really, is there no end to this damn girls sickeningly sweet list of good deeds?

Who is she, mother freakin' Teresa with a breast implants?

Despite the fact that Sasuke knew it was wrong he kept trying to find some kind of fault with this girl, not because she was engaged to the supposed love of his life, but because she's the person Lee cherishes more than all else. And for some reason Sasuke didn't want Lee cherishing anyone but him.

"There's something I don't get though." The Uchiha said to Naruto as the blond stood beside him with a beer in his hands.

"What's that teme?"

"If she knew what was going to happen to Lee, then why did she leave him there?"

Naruto shrugged, "She didn't want to leave him."

"Then why did she?"

The blond looked up at Sasuke before giving an impatient sigh, "She tried to make him leave with her, even got some guy named Ko to help her sneak him out without any of the other guards seeing."

Sasuke frowned as he looked at his friend, "So what happened?"

"Lee wouldn't leave, apparently the Hyuugas found him on the street and took him in. Lee thought sneaking off in the middle of the night would be ungrateful, then Hinata said she'd stay with him but Lee still refused. Kept going on and on about wasting youthful dreams or some shit like that. So she left without him."

Sasuke gave a sigh, sadly with all the time he's spent with Lee, he can totally see the neko doing that.

They became silent and just kept standing there by the wall when Hinata leaned down to place a kiss on the top of Lee's head. Sasuke accidentally let out a low growl, making Naruto stare up at him strangely.

"You know you never told me how Lee got here."

Onyx eyes snapped down to his friend and Sasuke's mind started running a mile a minute until he looked back at Lee. The boy's mouth was open in a sigh and his eyelashes fanned out perfectly over his cheeks while his hair fell over his forehead and sides of his face in a black curtain.

Exactly how he was the first morning that Sasuke met him.

The Uchiha took a deep breath before he spoke, there's no doubt that Naruto would find out the truth from Hinata since he's sure that Lee told her how they met or would most definitely tell her at some point.

So why not just get it over with?

And so Sasuke started his story making so to leave out some key details like his unhealthy infatuation with his best friend and what he and Lee were about to do before Naruto and his fiance showed up.

Naturally Naruto punched him in the face.

Hinata looked up at the sudden commotion and frowned in confusion at seeing Sasuke holding his jaw while the blond glared at him.

"What the hell was that for?!"

"You moron, you're still banging random strangers?! The mess with Karin didn't teach you anything, did it you fucking manwhore-"

"Naruto!" Hinata hissed as she covered Lee's ears.

"Get over it dobe!" Sasuke growled as he rubbed his jaw before straightening up and giving the blond a glare. "Besides it worked out didn't it. I met Lee and now he's safe."

"Oh don't even think about playing the 'Lee's safe so everythings O.K' card on me bastard! This shit is not on, in fact." Naruto turned towards Hinata who was trying desperately hard to keep Lee's hearing un-tainted. "Babe, wake Lee up, were leaving and he's coming with us."

Hinata blinked in surprise and Sasuke just gaped, "What? Why?"

"If you think I'm leaving this poor innocent kid alone with an ass-bandit slut like you you've got another thing coming asshole!" Naruto stomped over to the couch where Hinata and Lee were, "Let's go."

Pale eyes stared at Naruto for a moment before the girl reached out and took the blonds hand to pull him down and give him a kiss. "Naruto calm down... Are you calm?"

The blind took a deep breath before exhaling, "Yeah I'm good."

Hinata gave a nod before looking around her fiance to Sasuke. "I've already asked Lee and he said he'd prefer to stay here with you, if that's alright?"

Sasuke could only blink as the pale eyed girl did in less than a minute what it usually took him at least an hour to do.

Get Naruto calm.

The Uchiha snapped out of it when Hinata cleared her throat and he gave a quick nod, "Yeah, he's already been here a week so-"

"You mean you've been perving after this poor kid for a week?!" Naruto screeched and Lee suddenly moved in his sleep at the disturbance.

Hinata instinctively pulled back but Naruto barely had any time before Lee's fist connected with his face and the blond was knocked out cold.

The room was silent for a moment with the only noise being Lee's soft mumbles before he drifted off back to sleep when Hinata started giggling. The pale eyed girl practically fell back into the couch as the giggles turned into full blown laughs and Sasuke couldn't help but smile.

Eventually though Hinata stopped and looked over at Sasuke and her expression fell into one of deep thought.

"I know you love him." The girl suddenly said drawing Sasuke's attention.

"What?"

"Naruto, you love him don't you?"

Sasuke froze as he stared into the girls eyes and Hinata sat up so she could stroke Lee's hair and ran her fingers between his ears.

"But I love him too, you know."

Sasuke gave a nod, "Yeah, I know."

"I'd never hurt him."

Sasuke bit back an annoyed growl, "I know that."

"Yeah, just like I know you wouldn't hurt Lee."

Sasuke tensed, "What?"

"He's already falling for you, you know. I can tell." Hinata looked up and pierced Sasuke in her gaze, "Do you like him?"

The Uchiha paused and stared down at the ground for a moment before looking up at the girl and giving a slight smile. "I think so, yeah."

"You think..." Hinata trailed off as she looked away and scratched behind Lee's ears making a low purr leave the boy's lips and she smiled. "I think, that if you like Lee as much as I hope you do. You won't hurt him, because if you do..."

At this the girl looked up and gave Sasuke a soft smile, "I'll show you exactly why the Hyuuga name is so feared."

Sasuke almost took a step back at the blatant threat while Hinata just looked back down at Lee and smiled.

A/N: yeah
