A/N- So this story will be done in another chapter, which I can hopefully get written within the weekend. I'm ready to end it before my attention goes elsewhere. Sadly that happens with too many of my stories so I want to go back to finish some of my older ones. Anyway enjoy.

Saturday was pure torture on Neji. Sasuke did come by but he didn't even touch Neji. Mrs. Hyuga forced him into helping her clean the house while Neji 'rested'. He didn't feel like he needed any rest but his mother left no room for arguments. So he spent much of his morning staring out the window underneath his blanket. Hanabi popped up periodically to hide from their father. Hinata came in to check on him. She didn't like that Sasuke was in their home, knowing the attraction her brother felt for him. In fact she had a plan in mind to deal with him but she never let Neji know. Instead Hinata gave him some books to read and headed out. Tenten texted him off and on. Lee called several times to see if he needed anything. It was late in the afternoon when he heard his door open.

"Go away. I'm not in the mood" He mumbled from underneath his blanket. When no one responded he sighed. "Hanabi if you plan on putting your animals in my bed again I promise I'll rip their heads off" He growled.

"Did she make you that mad?" Sasuke chuckled. Neji's eyes widened but he stayed under the blanket. The bed shifted under Sasuke's weight as he moved to the other side and slid under.

"What are you doing?" Neji tried pushing him out to no avail.

"Your mother finally let me go. I thought you'd be happy to see me before I leave"

"You shouldn't be in the bed with me Sasuke!"

"Do that again"

"What?"

"Say my name again" Before Neji could protest, Sasuke moved on top of him and moved his mouth to the older boy's ear. "Say it"

"S-Sasuke" Neji could feel his face heating up. He weakly tried once more to push him away. Sasuke bit gently on Neji's ear.

"Let me have you" He wrapped an arm around Neji, pulling him as close as possible then moved to kissing his neck. "Let me have you" He repeated.

"I can't…" Neji gasped as his neck was bitten then kissed. When Sasuke moved his mouth to hover over Neji's, the older boy leaned up to capture his lips. The kiss quickly turned more passionate. Neji knew the fingers were going lower. He felt his belt being undone. Just as Sasuke's hand began toying with the band of his boxers they heard

"NEJIIIIII! Mama wants you!" Hanabi screamed.

"Damn" Sasuke growled angrily as Neji pushed him. In his panic to get away Neji fell backwards off the bed. Despite his anger Sasuke couldn't help but laugh. He peeked over the side to a very interesting sight. Neji was on his back, trying to catch his breath. His long hair lay fanned out beneath him and his cheeks tinged red from blushing so much. Neji caught him staring.

"What?" He asked.

"Get up. If you don't I'll fuck you right there" Sasuke answered. Neji didn't need any more encouragement. He was on his feet and out of the room in seconds. Sasuke meanwhile got off the bed. He glanced down at the bulge in his pants and cursed even more. He decided that would be a good moment to go home. Neji was nowhere to be found as he grabbed the few things he'd brought.

"Sasuke you're leaving?" Hinata asked sweetly entering the hall. It amazed him to no end that he and Hinata had become friends after everything he'd done to her but they had, more so after he apologized to her.

"I have things to do. Itachi has blackmailed me into running errands for him"

"Tell him I said 'hello'" She smiled. Everyone in his family knew Itachi liked Hinata a little too much and would've dated her if not for their age difference. "There's one more thing"

"What is it?"

"Stay away from him" Hinata was still smiling, however, Sasuke picked up on the threat.

"You know he won't be mine because of you right? He's not a child Hinata"

"True, however, he is my brother. He has always protected me and now I will protect him. No offense but I highly doubt you'll stay faithful"

"I don't want anyone else except him. I've only wanted Neji since the day I met him" He watched the pain flicker briefly across her face.

"Even when you were dating me…" She said quietly.

"I wish I could change how I did things, I know I hurt you. This is different"

"It's not" Her hands clenched into fists at her sides "I said stay away from him. You thought the first time I shot you was bad? If you anger me further I'll do worse"

"Now you're mad so you're taking advantage of the fact Neji will do anything for you, even if it means making himself happy" Sasuke snapped "I don't care if you want to shoot me again. He's mine Hinata" The two stood there in a stare off. It could've ended badly if Lee hadn't burst through the front door carrying a pizza.

"Where is my friend? I brought his favorite food" Lee said happily not reading the atmosphere. TenTen on the other hand did.

"Ummm is everything okay here?" She asked, looking from one to the other.

"Perfect" Sasuke smirked then walked out the open door leaving a fuming Hinata.

About fifteen minutes later Neji sat in the kitchen. Mrs. Hyuga had only wanted Neji to take the trash out. By the time he came back Sasuke was gone and Hinata seemed pissed about something but she wouldn't talk about it. Neji ended up in the kitchen eating pizza with Lee while TenTen tried prying out of him what he would do about his 'Sasuke Problem' as she called it. "I think he's a prick but if he makes you happy then go for it" She said.

"But I told Hinata I wouldn't. I'll keep my word"

"Will you? The world won't end if you decide to go back on what you said"

"She's right Neji" Lee said with a mouthful of pizza "You are young! Go out and enjoy it…" In a rare show of seriousness Lee frowned "But if he hurts you like he did her I will not hesitate to kick his ass"

"You're getting ahead of yourself Lee. We're not even a couple. Besides I think he's only attracted to me physically" His shoulders sagged some. Lee patted him on the shoulders.

"I highly doubt it"

"What do you mean?"

"You don't have all your classes with him. He used to ask me questions about you"

"You never said this before"

"I didn't think it meant anything until recently" Lee shrugged.

"Well thanks" Neji said sarcastically.

"No problem" His friend answered, not picking up on that sarcasm.

"I want to show you guys this project I had to do"

"For Mr. Tobi's class? He freaks me out. Hurry and get it so I can copy" TenTen told him. He rolled his eyes but hurried to his room anyway, his Sasuke problem temporarily forgotten. As soon as he opened his bedroom door he realized something was off. The room was completely dark yet he felt a presence there. Before Neji got the chance to figure out what was going on, he felt an object hit him then complete blackness.

"Where is he?" TenTen grumbled. They'd been waiting at least ten minutes. Neji had yet to return. She bit a nail unconsciously. Hanabi popped up next to Lee, scaring him. She grabbed the last slice of pizza.

"Where's Neji?"

"He went to his room"

"No he didn't" Hanabi paused with the pizza midway to her mouth. "I just came from Hinata's room and peeked in his. He wasn't there. TenTen and Lee exchanged looks before hurrying upstairs with Hanabi right behind them. Sure enough when they got to his room he wasn't there.

"I flicked the light on cus I thought he was in here but he wasn't" Hanabi explained, still munching on her pizza. The window stood open allowing a breeze to blow in. Lee shut it.

"Do you think he ran off to see Sasuke?" His sister asked. "I mean we were just talking about him"

"He would have told us. Let's call to make sure"

"Sasuke?" Hanabi asked in confusion. The two ignored her. Lee pulled out his phone to call Naruto who would most likely be with the boy.

"Yep it's me!" An overly cheerful Naruto answered on the second ring.

"My friend, it's Lee"

"Yeah I figured. I do have your number so your name popped up" He chuckled.

"Well are you near that Uchiha boy?"

"How'd you know? We're watching some lame horror movie"

"Is Neji with you by any chance?"

"Nope"

"Have you heard from him?"

"Let me ask Sasuke-kins. OW! Its what Itachi calls you" He shouted. There were muffled voices. "Whatever Karin. Anyway Sasuke have you heard from Neji?" A pause then Naruto's voice said "Nope. He saw him earlier when he was over there. Why?"

"No reason. Thank you" Lee quickly ended the call before Naruto could ask more questions. "He hasn't seen him since earlier"

"What the fuck should we do?"

"Let me call his phone"

"Don't" Hanabi walked to the bed to point at the mentioned object. "He always takes his phone so Hinata or me can reach him" Panic was starting to form.

"What's that?" A white note had caught TenTen's attention. It sat on the floor. The wind had probably blown it from it's original place. She picked it up and read it out loud

Thanks for the present. Haku has always harbored a crush on Neji. Don't worry. He'll be taken care of

"What the hell does that mean? There's no signature" TenTen asked in confusion. Outside the room the sound of glass shattering got their attention. Standing in the doorway was Hinata with the glass and water at her feet. At first TenTen thought the girl had dropped her glass on accident but then she saw the blood running down her hand. Hinata had crushed it in anger.

"I will kill him" She whispered before walking away.

Hinata sat quietly at the dining room table. Gaara stood next to her. Her parents sat on either end of the table. Lee, TenTen and Hanabi had been forced out of the room. One of their men was reporting back on what they'd found outside. Footprints in the mud, still soft from the previous rain. The prints stopped on the street which meant a car had been waiting. He said all of this then knelt in apology for not keeping a closer eye on the house.

"It's not your fault. We all grew less diligent since the Momochi's kept quiet" Mr. Hyuga stated. He sighed. "Do we have men in their territory?"

"Yes sir. That's the problem. Our guys monitoring say there hasn't been any flurry of activity"

"Maybe for once Zabuza didn't do it" Mrs. Hyuga said quietly.

"But who else would or would have the reasons to? He hates us. Did you forget he was behind me getting shot and Hinata getting poisoned?"

"Husband there are others with an agenda against the Hyuga clan. We have forgotten because the Momochi's took all our attention"

"I want to speak with him anyway" Hinata turned to the man still kneeling "Get up. Tell Zabuza I need to see him NOW"

"Yes Boss" He hurried out the door.

"Gaara get the car ready please" She watched the red head leave before standing herself.

"Hinata what will you do if he doesn't have Neji?" Her mother asked.

"I'll find out who does. I'm not coming home until I have my brother"

"Make them feel the pain we have" Mrs. Hyuga said coldly. Her daughter nodded. Outside the room Hinata found Sasuke and Naruto now sitting with Lee, TenTen and a sleeping Hanabi. The boys stood when they saw her.

"What are you doing here Sasuke?"

"After Lee called I wanted to see what was going on but no one was answering their phone. So Naruto and I came over"

"Go home. I'll take care of this"

"The car's ready" Gaara announced. Hinata didn't even bother changing out of her leggings and t-shirt. She'd make sure the Momochi clan felt her wrath.

"I'm going" Sasuke stated calmly.

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes" They stared each other down for several seconds before Hinata relented.

"Fine. Tonight you will hear things you probably shouldn't. I don't need to tell you the consequences of speaking on it right?"

"Is that a threat?" He smirked.

"You're impossible" She glanced at Naruto who yawned. "I guess that means you're coming too right?"
"Duh"

"And you two?" Hinata turned to Lee and TenTen.

"Of course! Neji's in danger!"

"Not me" TenTen stroked the sleeping Hanabi's hair. "I'll stay here til you come back"

"Let's go then"

The car ride was quiet. Hinata sat in the back with Lee and Sasuke while Naruto took the passenger seat and Gaara drove. Two more black SUV's followed behind them. Hinata stared out the window. Neji had always been there for her and yet she had failed to be there for him. She clenched her bandaged fist. When the car finally pulled up outside a traditional Japanese home, she pulled her hair back into a bun. It wouldn't do for it to be in the way when the time came to kick ass. A short man opened her door and held a hand out. "Stay in this car. This shouldn't take long" Hinata told the boys. She got out without waiting for an answer. Gaara took the man's place as they were led inside. At the doorway stood Zabuza himself, still in his pajamas. He yawned and stepped aside to allow them in. They were then led to the small room where he received guests. Hinata sat down on one couch, Zabuza on the one directly across from her. Gaara stood silently next to her. Zabuza leaned back and grinned.

"What brings the mighty Hinata Hyuga to my lowly lair?"

"Where is he?"

"Where's who?"

"Don't play games with me Zabuza! Where is my brother?"

"How the hell should I know?"

"What's going on?" Haku walked in rubbing his eyes.

"Apparently Neji is missing and Hinata thinks I have him"

"Really? Do you Papa?"

"No, you would've been the first to know obviously" Zabuza studied his angry guest. His smirk disappeared "Look Hinata, we've had our issues in the past but I've been more focused on strengthening my territory. Had some small chumps thinking they could move in on me. They quickly learned differently. Your family has other small timers to worry about. Kids these days have no respect for the old ways"

"You're one to talk. You've always hated us. No one else would be stupid enough to kidnap my brother. You even left a note"

"First little princess, I would never harm any family not apart of the Yakuza. I have family too that aren't in it and would be pissed if anyone tried that on me. Second, why the hell would I leave a note? Knowing how much we dislike each other, I wouldn't even bother. You'd suspect me instantly"

"Besides Papa would never harm Neji since I like him soooo much" Haku said.

"Well then who could it be?" Hinata allowed her guard to drop. Confusion and doubt came in. "We have no other known enemies who would dare something so bold"

"I-" Haku hesitated. He looked at Zabuza who nodded for him to continue. "I've heard there's an old family who until recently wasn't much. They're just as old as your own but they were reduced to almost nothing because of in fighting. The grandson of the old boss who died came back and he's turned the group into a serious threat"

"The 'small timers' you talked about Zabuza?" She asked.

"Yeah. They're testing the waters. Seeing what the get away with and what they can't. It's the Akatsuki family" He said. Hinata had heard of them. When their boss died there was fighting over who would succeed him but she had no idea he had any children, much less grandchildren.

"I don't even know this fuck's name. He came back and started everyone calling him 'Pain'. Can you believe that shit?"

"Gaara"

"I know" He stepped out to talk to their men.

"If you go after this guy I want in. I don't like people framing me for shit and obviously he thought the two of us would start fighting, probably killing each other in the process and allowing him to step in-" He voice trailed off as he looked towards the door. One of his own men was thrown in by Naruto.

"Your guards suck" The blond grinned.

"We got tired of waiting" Sasuke explained. Lee said nothing but he had a small cut on his face. Had they taken out all the guards? Hinata wondered.

"They're yours?" Zabuza arched an eyebrow, not at all upset

"Yes"

"Well now this is going to be fun. So what's the plan?"

"We're going to wait for Gaara to return. He sent several of our guys out to scout the area. Once I know what it looks like we can move from there"

"You don't wanna wait though. Look at you! Your leg hasn't stopped moving since you've been here"
"What would you propose then?"

"We just go in and teach this obvious dumbass how things work"

"I like that idea" Haku pulled the very long sleeves back on his kimono to reveal small knives underneath "We should make him sorry for messing with my Neji"

"Your Neji?" Sasuke had been leaning against the wall but straightened when he heard those words. Hinata mentally kicked herself for forgetting about Haku's strange obsession with her brother.

"Zabuza is right. I don't feel like waiting" Hinata intervened before the situation turned worse because while Sasuke was an excellent fighter he'd never gone against anyone quite like Haku.

"We have no proof" Lee told them. That was when Gaara stepped in.

"But we do. One of our guys found someone with intimate knowledge of the plan"

"How can you believe him? What if he's lying?"

"He's a low rung guy in the family who happened to catch wind of what was going on. He decided the best thing would be to tell us…or get a bullet through his head" Gaara gave a very creepy smile which sent shivers down Naruto and Lee.

"When we get there I want you three to take out any guards since you're very good at it. We have to locate where Neji is being held. I will talk with Pain while all you search. Zabuza and Haku, the two of you should remain hidden. If he sees you he'll know we're working together. Gaara where are the Twins?" Hinata asked referring to the twin blades Mr. Hyuga managed to get an old sword maker to make as his last great work. One belonged to Hinata while the other belonged to Neji. The only difference in them were the handles. Gaara took them from one of their men and tossed her the katana in a white sheath with matching handle. "Moonlight" She whispered "We have work to do"

"What will you do with the other?" Naruto whistled when she pulled her katana out of its sheath slightly.

"Sunshine belongs to Neji. I'm sure he'll want to use it when we find him"
