ALL TANGLED UP part 3

Itachi sighed, opening his eyes. He hadn't slept very well, his bed was somewhat... cold and empty. Shaking his head, he stood and stretched. "... I should check on Sasuke and Neji..." He muttered, knowing that Sasuke could still be bothered.

Neji yawned, snuggling close to his boyfriend. He opened his eyes a bit, seeing the Uchiha still sleeping. "Oi... Wake up, Sasuke..."

The Uchiha yawned, but didn't open his eyes until some moments later. He was sleepy... "Hn?"

Itachi chose his clothes, dressing himself slowly and calmly. "One week..."

"It's time to wake up, Sasu." The Hyuuga said, nuzzling him. "Morning."

"... Morning..." Sasuke sighed, nuzzling back.

Neji smiled softly, closing his eyes again. "Mhm... You're so waarrrmmm!"

The Uchiha chuckled, hugging Neji close. "And you're cute like this..."

"I am not..."

"Are so." Sasuke pecked the other's lips, smiling.

The Hyuuga smiled in return, sighing happily. "Aishiteru."

"Aishiterumo." The Uchiha answered, closing his eyes. Then, there was a knock on the door.

"Nya... Itachi, probably..."

Sasuke sighed. "Come in."

Itachi smiled, walking into the room. "I just wanted to make sure you two are ok with each other... and Sasuke, we need to talk later."

"We're good. Arigatou...." Neji hesitated, before adding what he wanted to. He wasn't quite sure how the older Uchiha would respond. "Itachi-nii."

Sasuke nodded, smiling back at Itachi slightly. "We can talk later... not now..."

Itachi chuckled softly, nodding. "I'll leave you two here for now, I need to talk to Shisui~"

"Shisui-san, ka?" The Hyuuga chuckled.

"Yeah... I think he is one of the few I can trust with the information about Deidara..." Itachi smiled. "So I'm going to call to see if I'll go over or he'll come here."

"Aa, okay." Neji smiled.

The older Uchiha brother stepped back, closing the door. "See you." He went downstairs to the telephone, dialing his cousin's number.

Shisui nearly fell over when he heard the phone rang. He'd been sitting back in a chair, and dashed to answer it. "Yo. Uchiha Shisui here."

"Shisui, it's Itachi." Itachi chuckled softly. "What are you doing?"

"Oh, hey Itachi!" Shisui smiled a bit. "I'm just studying some old books. What about you?"

"I'm hoping you'll show up here soon."

"Oh? Heh, sure!"

"Good. And buy some sweets on your way, I'm hungry and mom seems to have gone out."

"Only if you pay me back double." He said, hanging up so Itachi would have no choice.

Itachi stared at the phone, chuckling before setting it back in place.

In about ten minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Itachi answered it, grinning. "Sweets?"

"Uh-huh." He tossed Itachi the brown bag, smiling. "You seem awfully chipper today, Itachi." He noted, stepping inside and closing the door behind him.

"We have a secret case for the police, Shisui... so promise you won't tell a soul about what you hear here today."

"Huh?" He blinked in surprise. "You're happy... because of a police case?"

The Uchiha chuckled. "No~ I'm happy because of someone who is helping me with the police case, too. Actually, he is why I know about this, and who made me start it."

"Well, start talking!"

Itachi smiled, sitting down on the couch. "We're going against the Yakuza."

"YAKUZA?!"

"Yes." The younger nodded, closing his eyes. "They are allies to a prostitute system, which is our goal."

"Okay, you're really insane." Shisui nodded his head, sighing. "Itachi, we don't have the man power to go against the Yakuza..."

"We have the eye power. We'll have the Hyuugas, if they agree to help, and some more Uchihas. Only my trusted men, this information will not leak out... or Deidara dies."

"Deidara?"

"His boyfriend." Said Sasuke, chuckling.

"Koibito...?" Shisui blinked. Inside, something tugged at him. Itachi.. He loved Itachi more than anything. Had someone... beat him to the younger male? No...

Itachi smiled. "Yeah, my Dei-chan... I can't let him die, so I'm going to bring the system down... and save him. That would free the others, too."

"Oh..." Shisui smiled. "Well, I guess we can give it a try.

"Good..." The younger hugged Shisui, grinning. "Thanks."

"Anything for you, Itachi." He smiled, returning the hug. He smirked, tugging on the younger's ponytail as he always did.

Itachi yelped a bit, chuckling. "Didn't I tell you to stop doing that?" He asked, smiling.

"Yes, but do I listen?" Shisui chuckled, tugging again.

"Baka~" The younger chuckled, tickling Shisui.

Shisui laughed, tickling his cousin back.

Sasuke arched an eyebrow. "And then I'm the kid..."

"He's right!" Shisui smirked, tackling Sasuke and tickling him.

Itachi chuckled, watching as his younger brother laughed and begged for mercy.

Once Shisui heard Sasuke begging for mercy, he released him.

Sasuke tried to catch his breath, standing and sighing. "... Kids..."

"Yes, you are one." Shisui grinned.

The younger Uchiha pouted. "Anyway... Aniki, you're really going to lead the police into this?"

"It looks like it." Shisui said.

Itachi nodded, sighing softly. "I'm not letting them hurt Dei forever, I need to do something."

"Mhm, I agree." Shisui said. "This is the perfect opportunity to strike."

Itachi leaned back, sighing. "When Dei is free, I'm going to propose..."

"Propose?! How did you meet this guy, anyway?" Shisui blinked. He was seriously getting jealous. This 'Deidara' person was not on his good side, and he'd never even met him.

"I bought him..."

"You... Oh."

Itachi nodded. "Yeah."

Shisui forced a smile. "Well, I'll help as much as I can."

"Thank you, Shisui. Now to the sweets." Itachi opened the bag, devouring the sweets his cousin bought.

The older boy laughed, rolling his eyes. "You're gonna get fat like that, dumbass."

Itachi pouted. "I will not."

Sasuke chuckled. "Fucking all the time when the blond is here, I'll be surprised if he ever gains weight."

The older tried not to puke at the thought of HIS Itachi fucking some blond boy.

Itachi chuckled. "Shut it, Sasuke. Speaking of that, where is Neji?"

"Here." The Hyuuga said, entering the room. He was wearing a black tank top, black leggings, and a dark blue mini skirt. "I was just getting dressed."

Sasuke sighed. "You don't have to tempt me with clothes, I'm already going to punish a lot you later."

Neji rolled his eyes. "I always dress like this, baka. You know that. Even to school."

"Even so." The younger Uchiha shook his head.

Neji stuck his tongue out at him. "Nyah!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

The Hyuuga smiled, going over and hugging the Uchiha, nuzzling him.

The younger nuzzled back, hugging Neji.

Neji closed his eyes, sighing happily.

Itachi chuckled. "You two sure are better than you were yesterday."

"Yup!!" Neji smiled, squeezing Sasuke playfully.

Sasuke sighed, leaning against Neji.

Itachi smiled, shaking his head. "Anyway, Shisui, Dei will be coming here next week... I'd like you to meet him~"

"When next week?" He asked. No matter what, he was going to be busy.

"On the 4th." Said the younger, smiling.

"Aw, man!" Shisui frowned. "I'm busy the third through seventh."

Itachi pouted. "Shi-chan, please? For me~?"

"I can't, Itachi." The older male sighed. "Important mission."

The younger sighed, whining. "No fun... Madara-sensei is going to be here, too."

"Ho? He's returning from America?"

Itachi nodded. "He'll be here around... noon. On the 5th."

"How long is he staying?"

"I don't know, probably not much..."

"Well, I hope I get to see him, then." Shisui said.

Itachi nodded, smiling softly.

Shisui hugged his cousin. "Anyway... Are Sasuke and Neji finally dating officially?"

Itachi hugged back, nodding. "Yeah~"

"Great!"

The younger nodded, then looked at Sasuke and Neji, who were making out. "Hey, get a room!"

Neji smirked. "Nope!"

Sasuke shook his head, chuckling.

"Is this payback or something?"

"Um, no. We just don't wanna move." The Hyuuga said.

Sasuke smirked. "Maybe it is a bit..."

"Heh." Neji kissed him again.

Sasuke kissed back, taking control.

Neji moaned, closing his eyes.

The Uchiha smirked into the kiss, leaning Neji's head backwards slightly and moving his tongue against the Hyuuga's.

The Hyuuga moaned again, wrapping his arms around Sasuke.

Itachi sighed, rolling his eyes.

Shisui laughed. "You guys... no fucking in here."

Sasuke smirked, pulling away. "I have punishment for him later, so now I'm not giving him the pleasure of going all the way."

"Huh?" Neji pouted. "You're mean, Sasu."

"You deserve it for what you did."

"But what I did was punishment for punishing me before!" He pouted more.

"You did more than you should, Nej-chan." Sasuke chuckled darkly. "And you did break the rules a bit too much." He leaned closer, whispering in Neji's ears. "Hadn't I warned you about messing with my toys?"

Neji shuddered. "Kami, Sasuke..."

"Also, I'm the one who should deliver punishments, not you..." The Uchiha smirked. "And believe me, I won't go easy on you..."

"I know that already.... and yet that smirk still scares me..." Neji stated, backing away slowly, sweat dropping.

"It should scare you, Neji... because this punishment will come in parts. Meaning you won't be free of it for quite some time..."

With that, the Hyuuga made a dash for the back door.

Sasuke chuckled, and Itachi laughed. "Otouto, you're scaring him. Good job."

Shisui laughed as well. "Well, there's a Sadistic Seme for ya."

Itachi nodded, chuckling. "Indeed..."

Sasuke smirked. "If you don't want to hear him at night, I suggest going far away... because he's going to be very loud."

Shisui blinked. "And that's my cue to leave..." He grabbed Itachi, leading him out the door. "And out we go."

Itachi chuckled, and Sasuke shook his head, still smirking.

Neji tripped over in the back yard. He scrapped his arm on a small branch. Blinking, he watched as the blood from the cut pooled on the ground. Slowly, his eyes widened.

The younger Uchiha waited for some time, before deciding to look for Neji. Surely the Hyuuga knew he wasn't going to do anything too extreme. "Neji!" He called, searching around, then going out the back door to look for him.

So many thoughts raced through the Hyuuga's mind. He was suddenly in a different place, hurt, bleeding. He sobbed, curling up into a tight ball.

Sasuke saw Neji and his eyes widened. Walking over to the Hyuuga, he sat and pulled him close. "Neji...? Neji, what is it?" He asked, stroking the other's hair.

Neji still didn't return to his present setting. He crabbed his forearms, sinking his nails in and making them bleed profusely.

The Uchiha pulled Neji's hands away, holding his wrists together so he wouldn't hurt himself more. He didn't know what to do, but started humming softly.

After a minute, Neji heard humming. He returned to the backyard of Sasuke's house, in said Uchiha's arms. He closed his eyes, sobbing. "Sa-Sasuke..."

"Neji..." Sasuke kissed the other's forehead, holding the other close. "What happened?" He asked, going back to stroking the other boy's hair.

"I-I... suddenly I was back in my room again.... a-after... after the..." He couldn't finish the sentence.

The Uchiha nodded, kissing his boyfriend's cheek. "Shh... it's ok, I understand." He rocked softly, nuzzling the Hyuuga. "It's in the past now, Neji... I won't let anything like that happen again."

"B-but... I... how did I get there again, Sasuke...?" Neji looked up at Sasuke with his tear-streaked face. "How did I get there? Something... is wrong with me..."

The Uchiha wiped the other's tears away, kissing his lips softly. "We were talking about... punishment... and then you got afraid, and ran out. I found you here like this... So I don't know..." He whispered. "Now we should go back inside, clean those wounds and get you some water, right?" He smiled softly. "There's nothing wrong with you."

Neji shook his head. "Yes there is, Sasuke!!"

The Uchiha blinked, looking at Neji with a worried look. "Neji..."

"This... this isn't the first time... I've have hallucinations..." The Hyuuga looked down at the ground. "Ever since the... I've... It's kept happening... and it's getting worse..."

Sasuke nodded. "I see... Neji, would you like me to take you to a doctor? Someone who could help you with that?" He asked, holding the other's hand in his.

"I-I..." Neji took a deep breath before nodding. "Yeah..."

The Uchiha kissed his boyfriend's cheek, smiling softly. "Ok. But Neji... calm down, let's relax a bit... then we can go out."

The Hyuuga nodded, relaxing a bit. "Keep... keep humming... that helped..."

Sasuke nodded, going back to humming softly.

Neji's breathing became even again, and soon he was relaxed completely.

The Uchiha slowly stood, holding Neji bridal style and walking back into the house.

Mikoto, who had returned just moments prior and was putting groceries in the fridge, looked up when the two boys entered. She became immediately alarmed when she saw the Hyuuga's arms. "Kami! What happened?!"

"I'm... not sure, mom. Neji had a hallucination, and..." He sighed softly, holding the Hyuuga close as he sat down on a chair.

She went over, stroking Neji's hair softly. "Are you okay, Neji-kun?"

He nodded his head slowly. "I... think I'm okay now..."

Sasuke nuzzled the Hyuuga, kissing his cheek. "Mom, can you drive us to the hospital later? Neji... I think he may have some kind of... PTSD or something of that sort."

"Of course, dear." She nodded, getting a first aid kit. She bandaged Neji's arms, humming softly as she did so. "I think you should also tell his parents."

The younger Uchiha nodded, smiling softly. "We'll call them later, but first I want to know what this is. At least then, we can explain what he has to them..."

Mikoto nodded. "Okay, both of you. Car, now."

Sasuke nodded, standing and carrying Neji to the car, going to the back seat.

Mikoto slid in front, driving them to the hospital. "Now, tell me the details of what happened."

The younger boy stroked Neji's hair, answering slowly. "Well... We were talking to Itachi and Shisui, then Neji ran out the back door. Shisui and aniki went out, and I went back there... I found him curled up, sobbing."

The Hyuuga closed his eyes, relaxing.

"That sounds pretty serious..." Mikoto frowned.

"Yeah..."

After about ten minutes, they arrived at the hospital. "Alright, we're here."

Sasuke nodded, stepping out of the car and carrying Neji into the building. He remembered where to go, so he followed straight to where they took care of any emotional or mental disorders, which unfortunately seemed to be Neji's case. He knocked on the doctor's door, biting his lip.

Neji's grip on Sasuke's shirt tightened.

The Uchiha kissed Neji's forehead, trying to calm him.

A considerably young man, wearing light blue and white uniform, looked up from his papers. He stood, walking to the door and opening it. "... Uchiha Sasuke? I didn't expect to see you here again... please, enter." He instructed, stepping to the side. He tied back his long brown hair, closing the door after the Uchiha walked in with Neji.

"Again...?" Neji asked.

Sasuke nodded, sitting down with the Hyuuga in his lap. "Iwa-san treated Itachi's... ego problems."

Neji nodded, sighing softly.

"Well... Uchiha-kun, what is the case today?" Asked the doctor, looking at Neji.

"My boyfriend, Hyuuga Neji... he's had terrible things happening to him in the past, and after that he's been having flashbacks... and hallucinations."

Neji nodded. "I... after I got... raped... I keep seeing things..."

The man nodded. "Neji-kun, how often have you had those? Do you have nightmares as well, or does it happen only when you're awake?"

"It... happens a lot..." Neji admitted, knowing Sasuke would later ask why he never mentioned it. "And it's usually when I'm awake, but I have nightmares too. And when I do, they're really bad and I wake up screaming and crying..."

"I see." The doctor wrote that down, nodding. "And about your emotions... usually, from one to ten, how easy it is for you to anger yourself?"

"I can't answer if I don't know what one is and what ten is." Neji said flatly.

"One would be that you anger yourself way too easily... thus, ten is that it takes way too much to anger you."

"Much better." The Hyuuga said. "Anyway... it used to be about two or three when I was little... now it's about six."

"Any difficulties in sleeping? Also, it would help if I knew about your feeding hours, and how many hours a day you usually sleep."

"I usually try and sleep eight hours or so, but I only end up sleeping three or four most of the time." Neji answered.

"And your feeding hours?"

"Breakfast at seven, lunch at noon, dinner at six." He replied. "Unless I go out, then dinner can be much later."

"Good... Are you very alert to things around you? Do you usually keep watch of your surroundings and tense up easily?"

"Yes..."

The doctor continued writing everything down, nodding softly. "Do you usually feel guilt or strong worry?"

Neji nodded. "Uh-huh."

"Well, now let us see your fears..." The man took a list, sighing. "Have you ever had achluophobia, acrophobia, agliophobia, agoraphobia, aichmophobia, amaxophobia, androphobia, anginophobia, anthrophobia, anthropophobia, aphenphosmphobia, arachnophobia, arithmophobia, astraphobia, ataxophobia, atelophobia, atychiphobia, aulophobia, autophobia, bacteriophobia, barophobia, bathmophobia, batrachophobia, bibliophobia, botanophobia, cacophobia, catoptrophobia, chionophobia, chromophobia, chronomentrophobia, claustrophobia, coulrophobia, cyberphobia, cynophobia, dendrophobia, dentophobia, domatophobia, dychiphobia, ecophobia, elurophobia, ephebiphobia, equinophobia, gophobia, genuphobia, globophobia, glossophobia, gynophobia, heliophobia, hemophobia, herpetophobia, hydrophobia, itrophobia, insectophobia, ichithyophobia, koinoniphobia, lekophobia, lilapsophobia, lockiophobia, mageirocophobia, melanophobia, microphobia, mysophobia, necrophobia, noctiphobia, nosocomephobia, obesophobia, octophobia, ombrophobia, ophidiophobia, ornithophobia, papyrophobia, pathophobia, pedophobia, philophobia, phobophobia, podophobia, porphyrophobia, pteridophobia, pteromerhanophobia, pyrophobia, scolionophobia, selenophobia, sociophobia, somniphobia, tachophobia, technophobia, tonitrophobia, trypanophobia, venustraphobia, verminophobia, wiccaphobia, xenophobia or zoophobia?"

Neji sweat dropped. "I... can't even identify most of those..."

The Iwa chuckled, handing Neji a book that read 'List of Phobias'. "All the ones I mentioned now are listed there, and their meanings."

Neji read through the list. "Can't find one that fits me...except maybe ataxophobia." He said.

Sasuke, without looking at the list, answered. "In my opinion, Neji can have atelophobia and atychiphobia, and at times, autophobia to some extent."

"Okay, sometimes..."

"I see, that's... good, I think. Those fears need to be worked on, but you could have had more, or worse ones. I'm glad it's not so." The doctor marked those on the list already in his hand. "Neji-kun, is there anything else you deem important for this diagnosis?"

"Such as...?" The Hyuuga blinked.

"Anything you want to say, or feel that saying it could help. Any other bad experience, fear, a dream, or just anything."

"I... About a month and a half ago... I got raped." Neji said. "I don't know who it was, or why..."

The doctor nodded, listening carefully.

"But ever since... these hallucinations wont let me rest. I'm getting less sleep than usual."

"In these situations, it is common. Even more when it happened recently."

"Any ideas what's wrong with me...?" Neji asked, nuzzling Sasuke. He was a bit afraid to find out.

"It all indicates you have a case of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder."

"Indicates...?" The Hyuuga sighed softly.

The doctor nodded. "I will review this case in the company of other doctors, and we will discuss it. I will ask you to return in seven days, so we can see what is the better treatment for this."

Neji nodded. "Okay..."

The man set down the paper and pen he held, sighing softly. "Sasuke-kun, I will ask you to take care of his sleep for now... also... have you changed your mind about the treatment?"

"... I understand what you want of me, but I can surpass this alone. I'm not like Itachi, I don't need to be treated." Sasuke sighed. "Stop insisting."

Neji tugged Sasuke's shirt hard. "Are you so sure?"

The Uchiha nodded. "Yes."

"I see... still, Sasuke... you know that can get dangerous, don't you?" The doctor closed his eyes. "I wouldn't want to have to put you through the same Itachi-kun had to endure... don't let that get critical."

"Sasu..." Neji closed his eyes.

Sasuke was about to say something, but then he stopped himself.

"Aniki!!" The young boy's eyes widened, seeing his brother's state. Itachi had been put to sleep, and tied down on the bed. He was taking medicines, because his disorder had turned into depression and he had nearly killed himself. Sasuke could just stare and cry, not knowing what went wrong with his brother.

"Sasuke...?" Neji looked up. "Sasuke, you're crying..."

"... I'll do it, but it's only because of Neji." Said the Uchiha, wiping his tears away.

The Hyuuga nuzzled his lover. "Aishiteru, Sasuke."

The doctor smiled softly, and the Uchiha nodded, nuzzling back. "Aishiterumo..."

"Daijobu... Sasuke?"

Sasuke nodded. "Well, I guess this is over for today. Iwa-san, you can speak about... the treatment... next week, when I come back with Neji."

Nodding, the man stood. "I'll be sure to prepare everything until then..."

"You're scared..." Neji said, frowning.

The Uchiha stood, still holding Neji in his arms, and exited the room without another word but 'Hn'. And that's not a real word.

A man with short black hair walked in soon after the other two left. "Seishi-kun... I just had a call from Takanori-san. He says Mei-chan should be coming to visit you in some days..."

~At the Imperial Palace~

Touka sighed contently, sipping some tea. She glanced at the male next to her. "Always so focused... When Madara-san arrives from America, are you going to relax with him as usual?"

Hashirama nodded, closing his eyes. "I am not sure I can actually relax, it seems like he did not want me to know of his arrival... but even so, I will spend time with him." He smiled softly.

She smiled. "I'm glad you two are so close."

He opened his eyes, nodding once more. "Yes... and what about you, Touka? Have you found your someone already?"

"Don't worry so much about me, Hashirama." She smiled softly.

Shaking his head, he smiled. "You have as much right as me to have your own love... I understand the importance of this marriage for the palace and country, but our personal lives should not involve only this."

"Yes, I know." She nodded. "As I said, don't worry."

Nodding, he sipped some of his own tea. "I wonder if I should call Madara... though he did ask Mikoto not to tell me about his coming to Japan... Maybe I can just pretend."

"Pretend you found out through me." Touka chuckled softly. "After all, things like that rarely slip by me without my noticing."

He chuckled, shaking his head. "No..." Taking his phone, he dialed Madara's number and waited.

Madara picked up his cell phone. "Hello?"

"Madara!!" Hashirama grinned, making sure to add a slight squealing tone to his voice when saying the other's name. "I've missed you, where on earth are you?"

"...America..."

"I know that. Anyway, when are you coming back to Japan? I mean, it's been so long..." He pouted. "It's so cruel of you to abandon me for two whole years!"

The Uchiha chuckled. "I don't know. It may be another two years for all I know." He lied.

"I swear that I'll kill you if you do that to me!" Hashirama smirked softly, but kept a whining voice. "Baka..."

"Oh? Kill me will you?" Madara laughed.

The Senju nodded. "Yes, you... stupid, cute, hot, Uchiha bastard." He murmured into the phone.

"Ugh." Madara rolled his eyes. "Oh, yes. How lovely. Anyway, it won't be any time soon."

"If you're not here in the next two months, I'll fly all the way there to see you! No matter what excuse I have to make!"

"Oh? That's rather risky, baka." Madara said. "Better not do that."

"Can Japan's Emperor visit a fellow country?"

"Not to see a secret lover."

"Well, I will go if you don't show up soon."

"Oh fine..." The Uchiha chuckled. "How about I go on the fifth?"

"Really?" Hashirama grinned.

"Yeah, sure."

"Don't you dare be lying, or I'll go there and personally fuck your brains out."

"Oh, yeah right!" Madara scoffed.

The Senju chuckled. "I love you~!!"

"Uh-huh. Love you, too."

"Don't forget to bring me sweets~ or something..."

"I'll bring you plenty of things, koi." Madara smiled, rolling his eyes.

"Aww! Thanks!!" Hashirama would have glomped Madara if he were in his presence.

"Mm-hmm. I've gotta go." The Uchiha said.

The Senju sighed softly. "Ok... but I'll call you again before you show up around here~"

"Mhm, alright. Ja." With that, the Uchiha hung up before the Senju could say something random and stupid to annoy him.

Hashirama chuckled softly, setting down the phone. "He's so cute~"

Touka laughed softly. "You do realize calling him that annoys him to no end, right?"

"That's exactly my point."

She smiled. "You're so mean to him sometimes."

Hashirama grinned. "He deserves it... for being so far."

She laughed. "You really are cruel, Hashirama. Madara-san is so lucky to have your love."

"True..." He paused, thinking. "I could have charged him for the... hundreds of times we have to rebuild the palace rooms when he comes here, or for the antique pieces he broke... He really is lucky, I guess..." Chuckling, Hashirama nodded.

"Yes, he is indeed..." Inwardly, Touka sighed. She hated to admit it, but she was jealous of the Uchiha.

"But he still is a cruel seme."

"Honestly, I'm not sure who the seme is. I think you both take turns." She teased.

Hashirama chuckled. "Well, he is most of the times... it's hard to get him to submit, and it's not like I don't enjoy being uke..."

"Mm-hmm." She smiled.

"I wonder what will happen now... the new laws did cause some impact on the world..."

"Yes, but positive." Touka said. "It will allow people to become more open-minded."

"I know..." He smiled softly.

Touka yawned softly. "I think I'll head off to bed for a nap..."

"Tired so early in the morning?" Hashirama chuckled.

"It was a long night." She chuckled.

He nodded. "Rest, then. I'll take care of business today."

She nodded, standing and heading into her room. 'Madara truly is so very lucky...'

When Hashirama turned to the pile of to-be-done paperwork beside him, he paled. There was... a lot...

~Lunch time~

Deidara yawned, hearing loud banging on the door. "Enter... un."

Hidan smirked, walking in. "Slut, we're... going out for lunch."

"Ugh... no." Deidara rolled onto his side, wincing slightly.

"It wasn't a fucking question."

"I said no, Hidan."

Hidan pulled Deidara's hair roughly. "We are fucking going out. Now."

"Oww!! Hidan, let go!" Deidara whined. "At least let me get dressed, un!"

"Don't wear anything too Jashin-damned decent."

The blond squirmed away, going to his closet. He put on a white tank top and black pants, followed by shoes. He brushed his hair quickly, seeing as Hidan was impatient. He didn't even have time to put it up.

When he deemed the blond ready, Hidan almost literally dragged him off to the car.

"Ow! Oww!! Hidan, let gooo!!" Deidara shouted, struggling to get out of the Jashinist's grip. When he was finally seated in the car, he rubbed his head. "You're gonna pull all my hair out, bastard!"

"Shut up." Hidan smirked, driving fast. "Whore, your hair was cut."

"I know..." Deidara frowned.

"You still are as fuckable, but hell, I can see the Jashin-damned difference."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" The blond shouted angrily.

"Mind your tone, slut. You're sore, hurt, and I could hurt you much more with a simple fuck..."

With that, Deidara became quiet. He knew the Jashinist was right.

Hidan smirked. "I fucking thought so."

"Anyway... which restaurant are we going to, un?"

"You'll fucking see..."

"Just tell me, Hidan!"

"Slut, you're begging to be banged."

"Am not."

"I warned you, bitch." Said Hidan, smirking and doing a very dangerous, fast turn to the right.

"Wha- Hidan, no!" The blond protested.

The Jashinist chuckled, doing another sharp turn before stopping at a motel. In the daytime, you have to fuck inside. It's safer. "You asked for it, slut."

"No, I didn't Hidan!" Deidara scowled.

Hidan walked out of the car, opening Deidara's door and twisting the blond's hair in his hands, pulling him out.

"Aahh!!" Deidara struggled, trying to keep his balance. "Hidan, stop it!!"

"A room." He said, paying and taking the keys, then dragging Deidara off to the room.

The blond kicked and screamed, trying to escape.

Hidan threw Deidara into the room, locking the door behind him. "You're going to learn a lesson, you Jashin-damned bitch..."

"Hidan, stop this shit!!" Deidara shouted, glaring.

The Jashinist glared back, then looked around the room. He found a pair of handcuffs, using that to keep the blond's hands together. "Shut up, whore. You'll get fucked one way or the other."

The blond struggled, although it was to no avail.

Hidan threw Deidara onto the bed, ripping his clothes off. "You got me fucking angry... and that means it'll hurt more."

"Get the fuck off!"

Hitting the other, hard, across the face, Hidan tied him to the bed.

Deidara became silent, simply glaring at Hidan hatefully.

The Jashinist finished undressing Deidara, then chuckled. "Oh, they fucking cut some small points into Little Slut, is it?"

"..." Deidara remained silent.

Hidan squeezed Deidara's cock somewhat, chuckling when the other whimpered. Cuts on that area could really hurt.

The blond whimpered, wincing slightly.

The Jashinist applied more pressure.

"Aahh...!!" Deidara whined softly, closing his eyes.

Hidan smirked, then released the member. "This is going to be fun."

The blond sighed inwardly. God, he hated Hidan so much.

The Jashinist undressed, before biting down roughly on Deidara's neck, wanting to see the other in pain.

Deidara whimpered loudly, wincing.

Positioning himself, Hidan thrust in. "I'm going to hurt you so fucking bad... whore..."

Deidara screamed, his body forcibly becoming tense.

"Shit... if you do that, slut... it seems like all the fucking cocks you've had didn't make you used to this at all." He groaned, roughly thrusting in and out.

The blond whimpered, tears streaking his face. If anything was worse than being punished by Pein, it was being raped by Hidan a day after.

Hidan, differently from Deidara, was loving this. The blond being all tense made the entrance very tight, giving more friction to the Jashinist as he thrust fast and hard.

Deidara sobbed, pain racking his entire body more that he was used to.

The Jashinist smirked, seeing the other's face filled with pain.

"D-doshite...!? Why do you do this...?!"

Hidan chuckled, thrusting harder. "Because sluttish whores... like you... are made to be fucked up the ass."

Deidara screamed again, more tears streaming his face.

The Jashinist continued his brutal rape, taking more pleasure out of this than he had ever before. The pain the blond was feeling fed his blood thirst, somehow.

The blond sobbed harder, crying out in pain. He felt blood pouring from him, and knew that Hidan didn't care. Then a thought crossed his mind... Pein.

Hidan bit down on Deidara's neck again, the blood coming from Deidara just being used as lube. "You know that all that fucking crying just makes this shit better for me, don't you, bitch?"

The blond didn't care. He'd figured out a way to get back at Hidan.

The Jashinist thrust even harder, his hands gripping Deidara's hips painfully hard.

He screamed out in pain, hoping the albino would finish soon.

Hidan smirked more, groaning and starting to actually slam into the other.

The blond screamed louder, sobbing hard.

After some time, the Jashinist started feeling himself close.

Deidara noticed the other becoming unsteady, knowing it would be over soon.

Hidan groaned louder, moaning low and continuing for some minutes. Then, he released hard inside the blond.

The blond whimpered, falling limp.

The Jashinist panted, smirking. "Slut... get dressed." He said, pulling out and throwing his pants back on.

"Can I at least... hahh... shower...?"

"No."

Deidara frowned, forcing himself to sit up, but falling back down.

Hidan smirked, having an idea. He took his cell phone, calling Pein. "Boss, I found Deidara-slut in a motel. He's all fucked up, seems like someone touched him and didn't pay any Jashin-damned penny..."

"Fuck... fuck you, Hidan!!"

"I have some fucking shit to do, can't drive him back now... just fucking send someone, it's at that cheep-ass motel around the other whore houses."

"I swear, Hidan... I will get you back for this..." Deidara glared.

The Jashinist hung up, smirking. "Pein-fuck is sending someone to pick up your ass... see ya, slut." And he left.

"I'll get you back, Hidan!" He shouted. "I swear I will!"

After nearly half an hour, Nagato himself walked into the room, glaring at Deidara. "What the hell happened here?"

"Hidan fucking raped me." The blond said honestly, still laying on the ground bleeding.

"Good." He chuckled, calling Yahiko and telling him the news. That would make Yahiko contact Hidan's master... to deliver the punishment. "Now are you going to get your ass up or I have to help you?"

"If I could stand on my own, I would have showered by now, un."

Nagato rolled his eyes, picking the blond up and carrying him out to a car, not bothering to dress or clean him. Of course, the seat where he threw Deidara was covered in towels to protect the seat.

The blond relaxed a bit, not caring to move. At least for this sort of thing he wouldn't be punished.

"Oh, you whore back there." Said Nagato, starting the car. "If I were Yein, I would already have beaten your sorry ass for talking to me with such lack of respect."

"Gomenasai..."

Nagato shook his head, driving off and back to the headquarters. By now, Hidan must already be talking to Yahiko in the office...

After a few more minutes, Deidara fell asleep.

Hidan walked into Pein's office, frowning. "The fuck is going on?"

Yahiko smirked. "You should know... I just got a call from my dear Nein-chan, telling me about what you did to Deidara. My orders were clear, Hidan! You could not touch anyone sexually, in or out of this system!" He said harshly, glaring, but still wearing the smirk.

"He's fucking lying!" Hidan frowned.

"Then... why do you smell like... blood and semen?" Asked the leader, examining the air. "Not to mention, your hair is messed up now."

"..." Okay, now he was fucked.

"By the way, Hidan... do you remember Kakuzu? The reason to your punishment all these years?"

"The fucking miser..."

"Good to know you remember. He was the one to make these rules... because your actual punishment, it involves you being just like Deidara. A whore." Yahiko chuckled. "But with a personal master only."

Hidan stared blankly. "What...?"

"You heard me well. And now that you disobeyed, it's only fit that your master should punish you... right, Kakuzu?"

The door opened, revealing a man all cloaked in black, and he also wore a mask. "Long time no see..." He muttered, smirking.

The Jashinist immediately made a run for it.

Kakuzu's eyes followed the albino's movements, and soon the Jashinist was wrapped in threads.

"Let me the fuck go!!"

The mafia leader didn't hesitate in slamming Hidan against the wall. "That's not a way to speak to your master."

Hidan flinched. "Fucking...!!"

Kakuzu dragged Hidan out of the leader's office, and into one of the rooms.

The Jashinist struggled violently, cursing out Kakuzu the whole time.

Kakuzu smirked, covering Hidan's mouth with his threads. "Now you'll be the whore here."

"Mpfh!!"

Stripping the albino, the banker made Hidan bend over on the bed.

The Jashinist continued struggling and squirming.

Kakuzu smirked, his hands going over Hidan's now bare ass.

"Nnn!!"

Lowering his pants the mafia leader positioned himself. "As I know you're a virgin, this alone will be enough punishment for now." He said, before thrusting in roughly.

Hidan gasped, groaning loudly. Jashin, the pain felt so good...!

Kakuzu thrust fast, in and out, smirking.

The Jashinist moaned, closing his eyes.

The mafia leader arched an eyebrow, not having expected it. But he decided to continue, it felt and sounded good, after all.

Hidan moaned again, the pain being pleasurable to him.

Kakuzu sped his thrusts, grunting softly.

Hidan moaned even louder, throwing his head back.

Removing his threads from the other's mouth, the miser chuckled. "You seem to enjoy being my private slut."

"Hahh... S-shut up!!"

Kakuzu flipped Hidan around, so he was on his back, before continuing to thrust.

The Jashinist gasped softly before moaning again.

The miser chuckled. "You do enjoy this."

"Urusai!"

Kakuzu thrust faster, smirking.

Hidan moaned louder.

The mafia leader grabbed the Jashinist's hips roughly, his breathing becoming faster.

Hidan threw his head back and moaned erotically, feeling the other hit that place.

Kakuzu groaned, trying not to moan as the other seemed to tighten around him.

The Jashinist smirked slightly, tightening more, on purpose this time.

The miser let out a pleasured sigh, slapping Hidan's ass hard. "You bitch... you did that on purpose..."

"Ahh... Y-yeah, so?" Hidan moaned.

Kakuzu leaned down, biting on the other's neck and shoulder. "You're... not getting rid of me anytime soon... so you better get used to being uke."

The Jashinist groaned, pouting slightly.

The miser gave a particularly hard thrust, hitting Hidan's prostate violently. "I don't think you have that much to complain about."

Hidan moaned loudly, throwing his head back.

Kakuzu proceeded to once again slam into the other, feeling himself approaching the limit.

The albino moaned more, climaxing. Jashin, now he knew why Deidara didn't complain about customers who didn't beat him much. Being fucked up the ass felt good!

The miser groaned, thrusting hard and releasing. He panted softly, closing his eyes and pulling out.

The Jashinist panted softly, closing his eyes. "Jashin..."

Kakuzu lay down on the bed, pulling Hidan close and bringing the covers up.

Hidan smirked. 'What punishment was I supposed to get again?'

"So you're a masochist..." Muttered Kakuzu, chuckling. "Anyway, for now we will keep you here, but with escort. Someone will be watching your every move, because if you disobey again, I have a punishment you won't like."

"..."

The miser kept his arms protectively wrapped around the other, and slowly fell asleep.

Hidan didn't fall asleep so quickly. He closed his eyes, though, and just relaxed. He wasn't used to feeling so... calm.

~Days pass~

Itachi walked through the police department, sometimes being greeted by his colleagues, sometimes just ignored. He went to his own office, and turned on the computer. There, he had all the files... the problem was, some could be outdated. Even so, he'd search for Deidara's siblings.

A young woman went into Itachi's office, smiling. "Hey, Itachi-senpai." She greeted.

The Uchiha looked at her, smiling softly and nodding. "Hello."

"It's been a while since I've seen you." She noted. "You rarely come in unless you get called in."

Itachi closed his eyes, nodding again. "Yes... I have a special case now, I need to do some investigation so I can recruit more people to join it with me."

"Special case? Wow. Let me know if I can help." She smiled, before waving and taking her leave.

The Uchiha smiled softly, turning back to the computer. He opened the file where all citizens should be seen, and typed the password for access. Then, in the search, he typed "Seishi". Five results: Kishimoto Seishi, Iwa Seishi, Matsumoto Seishi, Suzuki Seishi and Yukata Seishi.

From her office, the girl continued to watch Itachi through the open doors and hallway.

She looked to the chat she was in with some of the other police.

-Did you hear about him? Being with that blond boy?

-Yes, I heard. Think he's totally gay, or bi?

-Bi, I hope. I want a shot at him!

Itachi wrote those down, along with the addresses and numbers. Then, he opened an internet chat where police usually spoke. Instead of logging in with his usual username, he used another.

-Speaking of whom? He typed, then stood, closing the door to his office. He knew he was being watched, and didn't like it.

-Itachi-san. The girl typed. -It was in the newspaper and all over the internet that he took some guy out on a date. Lucky blondie.

-Ah, I read the newspaper. I always thought Itachi-san was gay, or even asexual. Guess this proves my second guess wrong. But he never pays attention to women... not that I can see, at least. He chuckled softly while typing.

-That's what I thought... Aww. He's really cute, too!~ The woman typed, sighing. -I wonder if he films what he does with that blond boy. I certainly would love to see.

-I have no idea. Oh, do you remember Anna, that girl who worked here last year? I found out why she transferred... He typed, remembering well. It made him want to laugh, but at the same time, it was pathetic.

-Oh, wow! Really? She leaned in, eager to find out.

-Yeah. I heard that she walked into Itachi-san's office almost naked, while he was working. He got angry for being interrupted, and didn't even look at her body, just sent her away. Itachi sighed, glad that woman was gone.

The woman stared, shocked. -She... walked in mostly naked? Kami-sama! What a whore she was. I'm not surprised, really.

-Yeah, that's what I heard.

-Heh. I wonder what Itachi-san would do if the guys started harassing him... I wouldn't be surprised if Takeshi imitated Anna.

-True... Itachi sweat dropped. He really hoped that wouldn't happen. -I hear that Ruki has been corrupted by Takeshi. If those two aren't together, they may try to... rape themselves on Itachi-san or something as weird as that.

-I don't doubt a moment that Takeshi would try and rape Itachi-san. But honestly, if Ruki joined in I don't know if Itachi-san could protect himself.

-I think he could. He is our best detective, and is trained in martial arts. For what I know, his dad trained him in many styles of martial arts. I'm just not sure if Takeshi and Ruki would be fucked literally or not.

-I would say not. Itachi-san is known to be extremely loyal. He wouldn't fuck them in revenge, at least not if that blond is a lover and not just some prostitute.

-You have a point, after all... but Itachi-san is rich, it could have been a deal, some kind of arranged stuff, a one time thing... he could have been blackmailed, or anything of sorts. There is a strong possibility of relationship, but we can't know until more info comes out.

-All I know, is that I hope he really has found someone. Itachi-san deserves to love someone, as well as to be loved by that someone.

Itachi smiled, reading the message. -I agree...

-I hope that blond boy, if it is his lover, can make Itachi-san happy. I only wish that I could be in that blond's place.

-Many wish that. Oh, I have to go. Meeting. Goodbye, talk to you later. And Itachi logged off, before organizing some things.

After some time, Itachi finally left his office, calmly exiting the district and going back to his house. Deidara should arrive soon, and he wanted to be there by then.

Deidara walked down the streets. He wore jeans and a sweatshirt, along with sneakers. Since this time there was no request for his clothes, he chose his own. Hoping Itachi wouldn't mind, he'd decided to dress comfortably.

The Uchiha was not far from his house when he spotted the blond, and he smiled. Stopping beside him, he opened the door. "Dei~"

The blond smiled, stepping inside. "Hey, un."

Itachi leaned in, stealing a kiss from Deidara. He smiled, starting the car again and driving towards the house. He was seriously trying not to park somewhere and pull Deidara close to do all sorts of things to him.

Deidara shifted uncomfortably in the seat a bit, sighing.

The Uchiha looked at him, blinking. "Dei, is there something wrong?"

"Just a bit sore." He answered. 'And the catch to me wearing something so normal was wearing it with a vibrator...'

Itachi nodded, smiling softly. He drove into the garage, parking the car and stepping out. He went over to the other side, picking the blond up gently and nuzzling him. "I missed you..."

Deidara moaned involuntarily. The vibrator had shifted when the Uchiha picked him up.

Itachi arched an eyebrow, kissing the blond and carrying him inside, and up to the bedroom. "What are you hiding now, Dei?" He asked, setting the blond on the bed and throwing his files somewhere, and then climbing over his uke and kissing his neck.

"Ahh... v-vibrator... the only way I was allowed to wear something so normal here…"

The Uchiha smiled softly. "Hm... if you're sore, I'll have to go easy on you if we do something..." He whispered, licking the blond's neck again. "But that vibrator gave you quite a problem here..." He touched the bulge forming in Deidara's pants. "Can I take care of this for you?"

Deidara nodded, giving the Uchiha permission.

Itachi claimed the blond's lips in a kiss, slowly undoing the other's pants.

The blond adjusted himself to make the other's job easier.

The Uchiha nuzzled Deidara, stroking his cheek with one hand while pulling the other's pants down with the other. "You look tired..." He whispered, kissing the blond's cheek. "I'll make you forget Pein and the others... at least while I can have you close to me..." He moved down, removing the vibrator carefully and licking over Deidara's erection.

Arching his back, the blond moaned.

Itachi took the whole member into his mouth, sucking and moving his tongue over it.

Deidara closed his eyes, moaning loudly.

The Uchiha hummed, continuing to work on his lover's cock. Moaning around it, he bobbed his head up and down.

The blond thrust up, throwing his head back.

Itachi hollowed his cheeks, one of his hands going down Deidara's thigh gently.

Deidara panted, close to his release.

The Uchiha continued, feeling the other was close.

The blond moaned erotically, climaxing.

Itachi swallowed, licking his lips and pulling back. Then, he finished undressing the blond, before getting a pair of boxers and dressing Deidara in them. Smiling, he climbed into bed beside the blond and pulled him close. "Dei..." He whispered softly, taking the other's hand. "Did they hurt you too much?" He asked, concerned.

"It was... bad." Deidara admitted, snuggling close. "And Hidan... definitely did not help."

The Uchiha nodded, kissing his lover's forehead. "I'm sorry..." He closed his eyes, stroking the blond's hair. "It's so good to hold you again..." He whispered.

Deidara sighed, relaxing. It'd definitely been a rough week. Then he remembered. "Are there plans for tomorrow?"

"Not really... but Madara-sensei arrives tomorrow, around noon I guess." Itachi smiled softly.

"Tomorrow is..."

The Uchiha blinked, curious. "What is it tomorrow, Dei?"

"My nineteenth."

Itachi blinked again, then smiled. "Dei..." He pecked the blond's lips. "And how would you like to spend your birthday?"

"Here. Safe." He replied, smiling softly.

"I'll make sure you'll have a good birthday... no, I want you to have the best 19th birthday!" The Uchiha's smile widened, and he kissed Deidara's cheek. "What kind of cake do you like the most?"

"Chocolate~"

"Then chocolate it is." Itachi nuzzled the blond, sighing contently. "I'm glad I can spend your birthday with you..."

Deidara snuggled closer, his stomach growling. "... Heheh..."

The Uchiha smiled, getting his cell phone and texting Mikoto. "Mom, can you bring some food up here? Please? Dei is here, and he's hungry..." he wrote, chuckling.

"Bring him downstairs. I'm watching yaoi hentai." She texted back.

"..." Itachi sighed. "But we just fucked, I'm tired..." He replied, chuckling.

"No, you gave me a blow job." Deidara corrected. "That's not fucking, especially in my books, un."

The blond looked at the phone, chuckling. "No, you gave me a blow job." Deidara corrected. "That's not fucking, especially in my books, un."

"Too bad. You're strong." She replied.

"It's called negotiation, Dei~" He grinned, kissing the other's cheek. "... If you come up here with the food, I can give you a tape I should have destroyed."

"More details." She replied.

"It's a tape where Hashirama tops sensei..."

"Oh. My. God. DEAL."

Itachi chuckled. "Just bring us something good to eat and you can have the tape." He texted back to her, kissing Deidara's cheek.

"I'll bring you something good alright... D"

The Uchiha set down his cell phone, smiling. "See? Negotiation works~"

"Never tried it. Probably not safe for me to." The blond said.

Itachi nodded, stroking the other's hair. "Well, at least with mom you can negotiate safely..." He smiled.

Mikoto ran in, setting a tray of onigiri, pocky, dango, bakudan, and daifuku on Itachi's desk. Then she gave Itachi a pleading look.

The younger Uchiha chuckled, reaching for his special box under the bed, and taking out a DVD. "There." He handed it to her.

She snatched it and ran out squealing.

Itachi rolled his eyes, sighing contently and holding Deidara close. "So bad it's just such a short time we have together…" He muttered, looking at the ceiling.

"You know..." The blond smirked. "Do you know what I want as a present~?"

The Uchiha blinked, smiling. "What would that be, koi?"

"There's a party soon. If you go there, you can buy me for a whole week!" Deidara grinned.

Itachi's heart would only be faster if Deidara said yes to a marriage proposal. He didn't hesitate in kissing the blond again, happy. "Then I'll be there, and I'll be sure to get you here for the whole week." He said, before kissing him once more.

The blond smiled. "Good!"

The Uchiha nuzzled Deidara, sighing contently.

Deidara closed his eyes, relaxing again. "Mhm..."

"I love you." Whispered Itachi, holding the other close.

The blond smiled more, snuggling even closer. "Say... say it again."

The Uchiha smiled, kissing the other's cheek. "I love you~"

A happy sigh escaped the blond's lips.

Itachi reached for a dango stick, smiling.

Deidara blinked, remembering there was food. He immediately sat up and grabbed a bakudan, eating it.

The Uchiha chuckled, starting to eat the dango.

The blond grabbed another bakudan, nomming it.

Itachi finished five dango sticks in some moments, and was now reaching towards the sixth.

Deidara stared at the other. "You... really like those, ne?" He asked, eating his ninth bakudan.

The Uchiha nodded, smiling.

The blond ate the bakudan, snatching a dango off Itachi's stick and eating it. He smiled mischievously.

Itachi chuckled, pulling Deidara close and kissing him.

The blond kissed back, moaning softly.

The Uchiha set the dango aside, having Deidara lie down and crawling over him, deepening the kiss.

Deidara moaned again, slightly louder.

Itachi ran his hands down Deidara's chest, moving his mouth to the blond's neck.

"Hah..."

The Uchiha kissed Deidara's cheek, stopping himself from going much further. "Dei, aren't you sore already? I don't want to hurt you..."

The blond smiled softly. "In about an hour I should be okay."

Itachi smiled softly. "Then, in about one hour..." He kissed the blond. "But now..." He kissed him again. "Let me just admire your almost-nakedness."

Deidara chuckled. "Aa."

The Uchiha pecked Deidara's cheek, sighing contently. Then, he noticed something. "Dei... your hair is shorter..."

"Pein cut it..."

Itachi nodded. "That's cruel..." He smiled softly. "But you're still beautiful."

"I hate my hair being cut..." Deidara said. "Bad memories."

"I see." The Uchiha pecked Deidara's lips softly, nuzzling him.

The blond smiled again, nuzzling back.

"Dei, have you ever eaten brownies with ice cream?"

"Mhm, yeah. Just once though." The blond replied.

"I wonder what sensei is going to bring this time..." Itachi smiled. "He still doesn't know that I have a super cute, wonderful, fluffy, kissable, huggable, beautiful boyfriend..."

"Mhm..." Deidara smiled. "What's he like, Ita?"

"The most bipolar person I've seen. He's calm, stupid, wise, short-tempered, caring, sadistic, cute, scary... and much more..."

Deidara laughed. "Wow."

"Yeah..." Itachi chuckled.

"Sounds like one hell of a guy." Then he remembered. "Oh! Where are the minis?"

"Don't know..." The Uchiha sighed. Sasuke had barely touched Neji more than a peck on the lips since they came back from the hospital, and he knew his younger brother would still punish the Hyuuga, but was afraid of Neji having another panic attack.

"How've they been, un?"

"... Sasuke won't touch Neji, he's afraid of making him have some panic attack or flashback... from when Neji was raped." Said Itachi, closing his eyes.

Deidara frowned. "Oh... Oh, wow..."

"I don't really know what to do, but I do understand Sasuke's worry..." Itachi sighed.

"So do I..."

"I don't know what he'll do..."

"Did Sasuke take him to the doctor?"

"Yes, they made some tests... soon they'll find out if he's with some kind of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder."

"Good."

"Yeah..."

Deidara snuggled closer, sighing.

~Meanwhile~

Sasuke lay down on the bed, sighing. He wanted to be close to Neji, but at the same time, he was afraid...

Neji walked in, hair still wet from the shower he just took. He was shaking a bit and quickly ran next to Sasuke. He snuggled close, hugging him tight.

The Uchiha didn't move, and just closed his eyes and tried to ignore the Hyuuga.

"Stop ignoring me!!" Neji shouted, sobbing.

Sasuke froze, biting his lip. "I can't."

Neji sobbed softly into the back of the Uchiha's shirt. "Sasuke, please! Stop it!"

"... I'll end up hurting you... I..."

"Sasuke, it happened again...!"

The Uchiha sighed, turning around. "Neji..."

"Sasuke... I-I don't want to be left alone!" The Hyuuga said, clinging tighter to him. "And I need you to stop ignoring me!"

"..." Sasuke hugged the other, sighing. "I'm afraid to hurt you... Neji, I'll just make things worse..."

"I don't care... just stop ignoring me..." He sobbed.

The Uchiha held Neji close, stroking his hair.

After a few minutes, the Hyuuga relaxed again. His breaths calmed, becoming slow and even once more.

"I don't... I don't want to do the treatment..."

"I-if it scares you, then don't." Neji said, starting to return to himself again. "The other day you even started crying..."

"But... I don't know what I'll turn into... if I don't..."

"Sasuke...?"

"What?"

"I have two questions..."

"... You can ask..."

"That night... when I topped... did you want it?"

"... I..." Sasuke paused. "... You had the right to punish me for what I did..."

"That's not what I asked, Sasuke."

"... N-no..." The Uchiha sighed. "It felt... good in the end... but..."

Neji nuzzled him, kissing his lips gently. "Please... forgive me for being so selfish..."

"... You had the right to do it..."

"No I didn't." Neji said. "What I did... Sasuke, that was no better than what happened to me."

"I let you do it, it was different."

"Rape is rape, Sasuke." Neji frowned.

"... I just have to learn how to cope with things, it's not your fault."

"It is so..." The Hyuuga snuggled, sighing. "Anyway... My second question... Why are you so scared? What was the treatment sensei was talking about?"

"... My... my pride grew too much, I can't control this... he has to make me learn how to lose. So I'll have to go there, and I'm going to take some medicines as well, for some help in the treatment... Basically, I'm going to lose."

"But what scares you so much?"

"Itachi refused to do the treatment... he almost killed himself... they had to force him into it..."

"Then if you don't let it get that far, you should be okay." Neji said, nuzzling him.

"... I don't know..." Sasuke whispered, sinking into the pillow.

"Sasuke..." Neji stroked his hair. "I'll be there with you... No matter what, I don't want to leave your side."

'I just wish I could word more things...' He thought, sighing.

The Hyuuga nuzzled him, kissing his cheek. "You know, dark chocolate isn't that sweet. And it'll help calm your nerves."

"Don't wanna."

"Try it? Please?" Neji pouted cutely.

"... Tomorrow?"

"How about later tonight?" The Hyuuga nuzzled him.

"... Fine..."

Neji smiled. "Okay." He snuggled closer, feeling much calmer than before.

Sasuke hugged Neji close, sighing. "... Stop being cute."

The Hyuuga chuckled. "No can do."

"If you don't stop, I can end up hurting you. You're making me want to keep to the idea of punishing you."

"... I'll try." Neji smiled.

"..." The Uchiha shook his head. "I'm still going to punish you, but only when you're healed. I don't want to risk you having any flashbacks and stuff."

The Hyuuga nodded. "Alright. Oi, roll onto your stomach."

"Why?"

"Just trust me." Neji smiled softly.

Sasuke sighed, doing as told.

Neji sat on the Uchiha's waist, lifting off Sasuke's shirt.

"... What are you up to?"

"Making you relax. You're so tense." He replied, starting to gently massage the Uchiha's back.

"..." Sasuke sighed, slowly relaxing.

Neji smiled, feeling the other start to relax. He moved up to his shoulders, relieving the tension there as well.

The Uchiha felt his muscles relaxing more, and he let a small smile come to his face.

"Close your eyes." He instructed, moving down to Sasuke's lower back.

Sasuke closed his eyes, feeling himself calmer, and slowly falling asleep.

Neji continued until he heard a soft snore. He smiled, carefully getting off. He heard his cell phone ringing and went searching through the room, not remembering where he'd left it. Under the bed, he found a small purple notebook. He got curious, opening it to a random page.

"I feel weird. Neji and I started dating today... kind of. Not officially, we agreed to wait a bit and see how things go. I really like him, and I hope we can be together for a long time. I just wonder how father will react once he knows... It's late now, I should go to bed. I'll write again tomorrow. Good night."

"Is this a...?" Neji blinked, going a few pages further.

"We have an exam today, and I'm so tired. I kept studying all night, and I feel sleepy. I should have slept more... thankfully, it's on our last period, so I think I'll skip arts and sleep a bit. Now I'm off to school." There was a pause, then it continued. "I think I went well on the test, but Neji and Kiba had to wake me up... I ended up skipping two periods. But its okay, I think. Now I need to rest more, then I'll eat..."

"It's a diary..." Neji blinked, going way towards the front.

"... Uh... This is my first diary; I don't know what to write. Well, my name is Uchiha Sasuke and... Damn, writing here is hard. I think I'll just try some other time."

Neji chuckled softly, skipping towards the middle of the notebook.

"... I'm troubled, I guess. We went back to the hospital today, it seems like Neji has some sort of PTSD. I'm hoping it's just something that'll go away soon... I don't want him to be hurt. Also, I had a flashback... I remembered when Itachi was taken to the hospital for his treatment... I don't know why, but I agreed to do the treatment, too. I'm afraid. I don't want to hurt Neji, or my family... I guess that's why. Mom was already burdened enough when Itachi was there; she was worried all the time. I want to try and do at least something right. But it still scares me, after everything that happened..."

Neji frowned, reading the next one. Now he was hooked. Maybe he would find out exactly what happened to Itachi.

"I'm afraid of hurting Neji. I mean, after... what shouldn't have happened... we were talking about me punishing him and all. I don't know if I should, I don't really know if I should do anything until he's healed. I'm afraid that if I do something, he'll have another flashback. I don't want him hurt because of me. As much as I'd like to take him and... I just don't know anymore. Before he came here, everyone was talking about us finally being able to... have sex and all. But I don't know if it's safe to take him, or if in the end I'll just scare him. W-when he took me, even if it wasn't something I wanted, it only felt bad for some time, then it got better... But he had been raped before, and I have no idea what I should do. If I keep him close, I'll just hurt him, because I want to go further. But... I don't know how hard it is to stay away."

The Hyuuga continued on, starting to understand him more.

"I've been trying to stay away from him... Today at lunch I could tell he looked sad. Am I just hurting him more? What should I do now? I wish someone could answer. I still have the other presents for Neji; he seems to have liked the necklace, so I think he'll like the others. But I just don't know how to give him those, now. I don't know if I can talk to him without crying. All these emotions, it's just so mixed, I get confused. When Itachi was like this, he didn't cry... why can't I be like him? Why am I so weak? If only... If only I had the courage to tell Neji everything I'm feeling..."

Neji sighed, closing the book. He placed it back, making a mental note to check it again later. He crawled next to Sasuke, snuggling. After a while, Neji fell asleep as well.

~Soon~

Fugaku arrived home from work, and he shrieked, seeing what was on the TV. Hashirama and Madara, doing "inappropriate things" on the screen, and Mikoto watching that. "T-turn that thing off!"

She paused it, turning around. "Oh, hi honey~"

"... I said... turn that off!!" He hid his eyes behind his arm. "Are you trying to get me blind with all this gayness? At least Sasuke has some hope of being straight." He said, not yet knowing about the true relationship of his son and Neji.

Mikoto turned off the TV, sighing. "Fugaku... Come here. Please."

Slowly, he uncovered his eyes and sighed, sitting on the couch. "What is it?"

"Try to understand Itachi, dear." She said. "It's not as if someone can control their sexuality."

"Mikoto, if men could bear children, I wouldn't give a damn about it. But it's not only that... that guy is a... prostitute!"

"Deidara-kun doesn't want to be a prostitute, Fugaku." Mikoto said. "He was forced into it. And... I heard a rumor in a chat room."

"What rumor?"

"Someone I know may have found a special jutsu to have men get pregnant." She smiled.

"May have. Anyway, as long as Sasuke is neutral, I can still get him a girlfriend or something."

"And if he isn't?"

Fugaku froze. "Are you hiding something?"

She laughed. "I'm just worried about everything. I don't know Sasuke's exact sexuality." She said honestly. After all, she didn't know if he was totally gay, or bi. Neji DID look like a girl after all. And cross-dress, and cook, and clean. "Anyways, if he does turn out gay, what will you do? Abandon us all?"

"No, I'll just take the money away from those two and have another child."

Mikoto frowned. "You're not serious, are you?"

"Why wouldn't I be? Unless that rumor of yours is absolutely true, and they give me heirs, that's what will happen."

"You can be sure that third child won't be mine then!" She said angrily. "To think that you'd actually abandon your family over such frivolous things is despicable!" Mikoto shouted, slapping Fugaku in the face. Tears streaked her face. "I'm starting the think the only two good things I got out of this marriage are Itachi and Sasuke!" With that, she ran upstairs. She entered the attic, locking herself in.

His eyes widened, and he stared. Shaking his head, he stood and followed her. "Mikoto..." He called, knocking on the door. "Mikoto, open this."

"No!!" She sobbed. "Madara was right...!"

"Mikoto..." He sighed, looking down. Maybe all this work and thought on the clan had just made him forget what a family was, after all. "Mikoto, I'm sorry."

"Go away, Fugaku..."

"Mikoto, I really mean it. I'm sorry for what I said, I... I was wrong."

"Go away!!" She screamed.

He sighed, and sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall. Holding his head in his hands, he noticed just how wrong he was all this time...

Deidara frowned, hearing Mikoto scream. "Ita.."

Itachi nodded, handing Deidara a pair of pants. "It comes from the attic... put those on and let's go..."

Deidara slid them on, along his sweatshirt, following the Uchiha.

They arrived there, and saw Fugaku sitting there the same way he was before. "What happened?" Asked Itachi, glaring at his father.

"... I said something stupid again..."

Deidara stood a fair distance behind Itachi, not wanting another confrontation.

The younger Uchiha noticed the difference in his father's voice and nodded. "Mom... mom, open the door..." He asked, knocking softly.

"Let me be alone for a while..." She whimpered.

The blond stepped forward, going to the door. "Mikoto-san, onegai..."

Itachi sighed, walking away, but soon returning with some keys. He unlocked the door, opening it slowly. "Mom?"

She was in the corner, holding a letter opener. She was just looking at it, dazed almost.

Deidara noticed the letter opener and dashed over, taking it from her. "Are you insane, Mikoto-san?!"

Fugaku slowly stood, walking in. He placed a hand on Deidara's shoulder. "... Let me talk to her." He asked.

The blond nodded, stepping back over to Itachi. He handed the Uchiha the letter opener. "Things are really getting messed up around here it seems..."

The man sat beside Mikoto, sighing. "I'm an idiot. Sorry for what I said, Mikoto... I don't... I don't mean those words."

Itachi nodded, sighing. "Let's hope things go well."

"You did mean them... If it was just some stupid nonsense, I wouldn't care..." Mikoto said. "You meant everything..."

"I wonder what he said that upset her so much..." Deidara whispered.

"Mikoto... I've been so focused in work, I forgot completely about our family. I wouldn't do that..." He looked at the ground. "I'm not that heartless."

"You didn't use to be... Now I'm not so sure..."

"Give me one more chance... I won't disappoint you."

"I'll think about it..."

He sighed, nodding. "But... I want you to know that I really regret those words. I love our sons, even though... I almost lost that."

"Tell them both that then..." She stared at the ground.

"And I still love you, too."

For the first time in her life, Mikoto didn't answer that.

Sighing again, he pulled her into a hug, closing his eyes.

Mikoto pushed him off coldly. "I said I'll think about giving you a second chance. I never said I forgive you."

"... I... understand."

"Out. Now."

Without another word, he stood and left. Itachi just stared as he walked away. "... Dad..."

Deidara blinked, frowning. He could sense such a tense air... Even he wasn't used to this kind of tension.

The younger Uchiha stared at the floor, entering the attic. "Mom... what's going on?"

"He threatened to leave and go have another child if Sasuke turned out to be gay..." Mikoto said. "And he actually meant it..."

Itachi sighed. "Mom... I think he meant what he said now."

"It doesn't matter... He really would have left us..." She said, still staring at the floor. "Do you... have any idea how much that hurts?"

"Yes." The younger hugged his mother. "But dad... I've never seen him like this. I think he's hurt, too."

"He'd damn well better be..."

Itachi sighed. "And I thought things would actually get better…"

"They will." Deidara said. "Give things time. Wounds will heal, and the air will thin. Just give it time."

The brunette nodded, pulling Deidara down into his arms. "But... tomorrow... should be a happy day."

Mikoto sighed. "It will be."

"Not with this tension..." He hid his face in Deidara's hair, sighing.

"Madara-oji always helps." She smiled softly.

"But I wanted to give Dei... the best birthday he's had until now..."

"Itachi... Just being safe makes it the best, un."

"Dei..." Itachi smiled softly, but it didn't last more than a second.

Mikoto frowned, then stood. She went over, hugging the two boys.

Itachi took in a deep breath, leaning into the hug and trying not to cry.

Mikoto stroked Itachi's hair. "Shh... it'll be okay. I promise."

"I... u-understand what dad feels... but... with all this happening... I don't know if I can do anything to help."

"Just take care of Deidara and Sasuke as best as you can for now." Mikoto said. "Dei-kun."

"Hai?"

"You help take care of Ita." She smiled.

Itachi smiled softly, sighing. "Something tells me... sensei is going to be really angry about this..."

"Oh, he'll be furious." Mikoto agreed.

"... That's bad." He nuzzled Deidara, snuggling close.

Deidara smiled. "But everything will work out, un."
