Hi again! Sorry for the late update...I needed to write some more, cuz fans were requesting longer chapters; anyway, MAJOR SAKURA BASHING! HELL YEAH!
Chapter 10: Mission of a Nightmare
The Next Morning
Neji awoke to find Hanabi once again hyperventilating on his floor due to a bloody nose. She always seemed to find the choicest times to enter. He sighed. Hiashi probably was requesting his presence again. Neji extracted himself from Naruto's grasp (it took a full fifteen minutes before the blonde was willing to let go, even in sleep), and silently glided his way to Hiashi's quarters.
"Hiashi-sama. You requested me?" Neji bowed. Hiashi nodded gravely.
"It seems you are going on a solo mission, Neji. Mrs. Haruno wishes her daughter Sakura to be escorted to a cousin's house in the Hidden Village of Cloud, and Sakura picked you as her escort."
Neji stood quite still for some time, the words registering slowly in his brain.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE ME WITH HER!" Konoha promply fell to ruins once more. The villagers groaned and set upon the harrowing task of rebuilding the village yet again.
Somewhere far off, Gaara flinched again. He made a mental note to kill and enjoy the killing of the traitorous bastards who disturbed his rest.
Hiashi panted wildly, a rare thing for such a dignified Hyuuga to do. But panting was only natural in this situation, seeing that Neji had cracked every expensive, fragile, and delicate object within range of 50 miles.
"Neji, Neji. Please. You are a Hyuuga, and Hyuuga do not yell."
"Sakura is an able ninja, therefore she can handle herself!" Neji pleaded frantically after regaining his composure.
"Ah, but the young Ms. Haruno is no longer a ninja, now is she?"
Neji clenched his teeth. It seemed that Sakura had used her demotion to her advantage. Women could be so brutal. He was glad he had a male lover. Naruto practically wore his emotions on his sleeve. He smiled in the direction of the kitchen. Already he could smell Naruto's cooking.
In the Kitchen
Naruto happily stirred and tasted, making Neji's breakfast. He'd need it on the mission today. Avoiding Sakura took large amounts of energy. He heard Kyuubi stir in his mind.
"While you were asleep last night, I did a little research. It seems that a few renegade Anbu from Hidden Village of the Rain want the secret of the Byakugan, and they're targeting Neji. They watched the Chuunin exams and know that Neji has fearsome talent, so they're going to attack sometime on this mission."
"How do you know all of this?"
"Kitsune know a great deal more than you think. I'd follow Neji at a safe distance if I were you."
"All right. Thanks, Kyu-chan."
"Oi. No nicknames."
"Stingy."
Naruto greeted Neji with a long, hot, and sticky kiss before delving into his own breakfast.
Later
Neji sighed dejectedly and dragged his feet over to the meeting place with Sakura. Naruto followed close behind, disguising his chakra well. Neji did seem dejected on having to travel with Sakura. Naruto wondered why (Remember, he hasn't found out about Sakura's feelings). Just then a blur of pink made its way to Neji at break-neck speed.
"NEJI-KUN! YOU'RE HERE!" Sakura latched onto Neji and hugged for all she was worth. Neji winced and squirmed frantically, trying to disengage himself. Women were indeed brutal, especially those in lust.
Sakura giggled and fluttered her eyelashes at the Hyuuga. Neji sighed. This was going to be a looooooooong mission. He mentally willed himself to keep a death grip on his sanity. And so, he and the pink one started on their trip to Hidden Cloud Village.
Naruto chuckled and was about to follow when a sudden burst of power tore through his body. He gasped. That chakra wasn't his. It wasn't Kyuubi's either, yet it came from within him. Naruto sought out the fox.
"Kyuubi. What the hell was that?"
"Oh no. I was afraid this was going to happen." The fox sounded worried.
"What is it?"
"Someone has altered the balance between the natural and supernatural forces. Normally, the natural and supernatural forces reside in peaceful harmony, but someone has unleashed a demon that should have stayed in its own realm."
"So what happens then?"
"The reason you felt this great disruption is because all demons are linked one way or another. This way we know which demons are corrupted or released, and can stop the demon before it wrecks havoc upon the world."
"So that's what Yondaime did when he sealed you into me, right?"
"I was corrupted by the snake bastard Orochimaru. Against my will, I was forced upon Konoha. The only reason I was sealed up, is because I managed to regain a bit of my soul right before the sealing. I gave Yondaime a clear shot at my soul. Had I not regained my soul back then, Yondaime would've never sealed me up."
"You?YOU! A great fox like you managed to be corrupted by one little man like HIM?" Kyuubi huffed.
"He took me when I was sleeping, okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, I believe you. But why did he want a fox of all animals? I would've guessed a snake."
"Orochimaru needed a strong attack if he wanted to destroy Konoha. Manda, his head Kuchiyose, proved to be too unwilling."
"Oh. I see. So now what do I have to do"
"We have to stop this person at all costs. The demon is Kunako, a centipede with a bad attitude. He is currently making his way towards Hidden Cloud."
"Great. Not only do I have to protect my lover, I have to dispose of a demon as well? Two missions in one is a lot. Still, I could use the fun. How strong is this Kunako?"
"Immensely strong physically, but he lacks a great deal in strategy. He tends to use brute force instead of thinking."
"Damn, I should have brought Shikamaru…"
"You cannot always rely on the pony-tailed one. Besides, I think you can handle him."
"All right, I'll do it."
Naruto hopped gracefully through the trees, keeping an eye on Neji and looking out for any multi-legged pests at the same time.
With Sakura and Neji
"Neji…." Sakura drawled seductively. Neji sighed and clenched his jaw.
"Yes?" Sakura pulled up the slit of her skirt to reveal her thigh.
"I have this AWFUL itch on my thigh, and I can't get rid of it. Could you do something about it please?" She sighed. Neji rolled his eyes and pretended not to hear.
"Neji?"
"So scratch it." Sakura couldn't believe it. Neji didn't even bat an eyelash. After all she went through to shape her thighs to the perfect shape they were in now.
"I tried, Neji-kun, but I don't have long enough fingernails. Perhaps you do." Neji twitched spasmodically.
"Sa-ku-ra, I have no wish to defile you." Neji forced out the word, albeit a bit painfully.
"But it wouldn't be considered defiling me, Neji-kun. I'd enjoy it."
"Let me rephrase that. I have no wish for you to defile me." The Hyuuga spat, and started to walk a little faster. The faster he walked, the sooner they'd get there, and the sooner he'd get rid of the eyesore. No scratch that; the cancerous lump of pink. Yes, that was better.
The fact that Neji would not fall prey to her advances made Sakura extremely annoyed. Hell, whenever she showed even a fraction of skin above her knee to Lee, he'd swoon and keel over with a nosebleed. Neji didn't even blink when she showed off her bra at the hotel room in the last mission. Sakura huffed angrily and lapsed into silence, her evil mind plotting away like mad.
The two walked on in silence. Neji stepped on a twig and Sakura took the opportunity to leap into his arms and hang on for dear life. Luckily Neji had prepared a Kawarimi, so Sakura ended up hugging a log. As the two made their way through the densest part of the forest, Neji felt heat radiating from a spot just northeast of where they were headed. Sakura felt it as well.
"Neji-kun! I think I found a hot spring!"
Neji inclined his head in the slightest bit to show that he knew. Sakura forgot all about Neji for the time being and raced to the hot spring, squealing in delight. She stripped quickly and leaped in, sighing as the water quickly worked its healing magic upon her nerves.
Sakura floated around once or twice before washing herself thoroughly with a spare bar of scented soap she had brought along. She dipped and bobbed in and out of the water, and was about to dry off when the most evil idea of evil ideas that Sakura ever had just materalized in her head. A foolproof plan to seduce Neji. Sakura cackled evilly and went to dry off.
"Neji-kun! It's your turn!" Sakura sang. Neji plugged his ears and winced. The pink had such a screeching voice. It sounded like Kisame raking his Samehada across metal. Ouch. Neji's ears would never forgive him after this. Still, he did want to enjoy some time alone in the hot springs, so he made his way through the bushes, stripped (A/N: Drooool…Neji is so goddamn hot!), and waded into the hot springs.
The Hyuuga sighed in satisfaction. Natural hot springs were so much better than the ones in Konoha. He wished Naruto could have been there. Neji sighed and let the water soothe him, let the water caress and embrace him in the most intimate of ways. He sank down into the warm substance and closed his eye lazily.
Sakura peeked through the bushes with several forests' worth of tissues shoved up her nose. She wiped the string of drool from her chin and stripped down to her lingerie. She changed into the lacy ultra-sheer black bra and underwear she had brought along to her trip and stepped out into the clearing.
Neji had his back turned and was washing his hair lazily when he felt the normally calm water stir slightly. He turned around only to see Sakura sauntering slowly towards him. Only two words rang through the Hyuuga's mind.
Oh. Shit.
Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit. What the fuck was Sakura doing in the hot spring! And with him NAKED as well! Not to mention Sakura was scantily clad! How the hell was he going to get that bitch away from him now? Neji shrieked (never would he admit to shrieking. Ever.) and dove as fast as he possibly could into the water. Sakura groped about and fished him out by his hair, then turned him around to face her.
"Neji-kun…"
Sakura reached around, grasped Neji's hips firmly, and ground them against hers, rocking back and forth while she kissed him passionately on the lips. She continued to gyrate her lower half against his, one hand kept firmly on his hips while the other moved down to the backs of his thighs. Neji struggled and thrashed like a caged bird which Sakura mistook as an invitation; as a result, she crushed their lips together even harder and began to take off her underwear.
Naruto sat overlooking the whole scenario with utter fury. Sakura, his own teammate, had double-crossed him. How dare she try and steal what was his. The filthy whore had gone too far, and for that she would pay. He silently slit his finger and made seals. The fox-child Kuchiyosed a few little hindrances and gave them the silent command to slip into the water.
Neji's eyes widened as Sakura slipped the elastic straps of her bra over her shoulders. He began to panic when he suddenly saw a numerous amount of creatures slide down from a tree and into the water. Calculating swiftly, he turned Sakura around so that her back was to the tree and walked the two of them closer to where he estimated the creatures would end up. Sakura moaned in delight, glad that Neji was finally responding.
She took her mouth off of his to breathe and was about to kiss him again when she felt a sharp stinging sensation. Her fingers fumbled around behind her and felt something slimy. Horrified, Sakura looked down only to witness a long black organism parked happily on her butt. She screeched in horror and began frantically prying at the creature only to discover that there were dozens upon dozens more stuck to her legs and at least hundreds were making their way up her body with soft squelchy sounds.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Sakura danced about crazily, fingers pulling wildly at the leeches that attached themselves to her. She leaped out of the hot springs and right into a bed of stinging nettles. She shrieked again and tumbled back into the dangerous plants, writhing about chaotically. It took every ounce of chakra Naruto could muster to keep himself in his tree, for he was making a valiant attempt at hiding his snickers.
Sakura screamed once more, yowling and prying off leeches as she ran like hell back to the campsite. Neji laughed and wrung the soap out of his hair before putting on his clothes and joining her. Naruto smirked and shook his head slowly. He settled for sleeping in the tree, watching over his long-haired lover.
