Last time…

They were walking through the first floor corridor leading them to the stairs to take them up to her floor when all of a sudden someone grabbed her and slammed her up against the wall, hard. Before she could scream or do anything the person already had his mouth upon hers, bruising her lips with a crushing force. She could taste the blood in her mouth from him biting her bottom lip in an attempt to get her to open her mouth, which naturally, she did when he bit her lip.

She had had her eyes closed until she felt the offender slide his tongue into her mouth, then she opened them to see none other than…

Chapter Nine

Sakura's Mistake, Neji's Jealousy

"Oh. My. God."

"Oh no girl. We're in trouble."

"Mmm. You taste good Yori. Perhaps I should sample a little more of you."

"GIRL. This is not good! We need to go ninja and kick his ass for touching us like that!"

"Gah. We can't! We'll fail the mission! Oh Kami send help please! We have to remain almost helpless until someone shows up!"

"Um. Kisuke? What are you…" Sakura stuttered out, but was cut off by his mouth crashing down on hers. She could again taste the blood from the new cut on her bottom lip.

She didn't have time to say anything, or do anything in particular, she tried to scream, yell, make noise, anything to get somebody's attention, but to no avail, as his mouth covering hers made sure that not even one strum of her vocal cords got out of her mouth.

She then tried hitting the wall and him, like a normal woman, but that did no good either, because as soon as she went to hit anything, Kisuke grabbed both of her hands with his hands as he held her against the wall with his strong frame. Kisuke has nothing on Neji though, she realized, if she could go ninja she would kick this mans ass…easy.

Unfortunately, that was not the case here, and she could only put up as good of a fight as possible, in hopes that someone would save her. Then, as she was about to start panicking, she got an idea.

"The scroll is in Kisuke's robe right?"

"Yeah. So what? You do realize that he is going to rape us right?"

"Yeah, but that's not the point. If we can get Kisuke to remove his robe, then we can take the scroll from him, while he thinks we're wanting this with him."

"Uh huh. Now. Miss smarty-pants, did you forget the part about us getting away?"

"Oops. Well we can always hit him over the head with a vase or something right?"

"We're doomed."

Just as she was about to start a very heated argument over what they should do in this situation, she felt wandering hands. These hands were undoing her obi. Unfortunately, for our beautiful cherry blossom, his mouth was still over hers, lifting up every once in a while so that they could get a short breath in, but not long enough for her scream or yell out anything that could get her out of this situation.

She could tell from the pressure on her wrists that she was going to have bruises from his fingers on her wrists later. She didn't really know when it happened, considering how panicky she is being right now, but he had switched they way he held her hands, so that he could hold her hands above her head, with one of his hands.

Kisuke moaned into her mouth while throwing her obi to the floor. His hands then started to part her beautiful kimono slowly, because he was getting off on her fear. He could feel her tears rubbing against his lip as they fell like rivers from her eyes. Silent tears though, he could feel her trembling beneath him and knew it wasn't from his ministrations.

Fortunately, she had never been raped before, and as such, was scared shitless, but she knew that she absolutely had to get that scroll. Then hopefully, someone would save her ass, but if not then… NO. She didn't want to even think about that.

He finally had her kimono parted slightly down the middle, enough to reveal some cleavage of her breasts and a small amount of a flat toned stomach. He was just drawing circles on it, attempting to get her in the mood, but she wasn't going down that easy.

He was too busy to notice the scroll fall out of his obi's tight hold as he loosened his obi so that he could further violate her being. Since there was so much clothing on the floor at their feet the scroll didn't make a noise as it landed there, on her clothes. She may not have been able to move very much, but she did move enough to cover the scroll with some clothing so that he wouldn't see it and look down.

"DAMN! Where's Neji when you need him?!"

"I don't know, but I hope he gets here soon! Somebody, anybody really, I don't care who it was as long as they helped us out of this situation and away from that…that…MONSTROSITY!"

"For once you and I wholly agree!"

He had slipped his hand down to the hem of her panties and was playing with it while he was licking and nipping at her neck, since he knew that she wasn't going to yell or scream or anything. However, he did not let go of her hands, and his free hand started to dip lower into her panties, sliding down into her warmth, to rub a little on her sensitive nub.

She wanted to scream, but her mouth needed a break, if she so much as tried to scream, who knows what he would do to her. She felt his hand slide down and cup her most intimate of places, without removing her panties. She was trying to hold onto the assumption that someone would save her, but she was starting to panic now. She could feel the salty tears start pouring out of her eyes as she hung her head in shame. Then, in a second, Kisuke was gone.

She didn't know how he was gone or if he left of his own free will, because right as he stuck the first finger inside of her, she blocked everything out and tried to concentrate on getting the mission completed. Nothing else mattered, but getting this mission completed so that she could go home and rid herself of the touch of this man's atrocious hands.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" asked Neji in a dangerously low voice. Anyone that knew Neji would instantly be able to tell that he was seething right now. "Get the fuck out of here before I mail you back to your relatives in pieces."

Kisuke could tell that this man was pissed, but this is the man who is with her to ensure her safety to whichever town it is that they are headed to. Unfortunately, he didn't get to finish what he started, but since there is something in the way, he'd just have to come back later.

Kisuke got up and ran towards the stairwell that would lead him to his room on the top floor of the establishment. He didn't even notice that he was missing the scroll that was linked in his obi. He was too scared of Neji to say or do anything but run, and that is probably a good thing considering how seriously pissed Neji is at the moment.

Neji turned around and walked slowly over to where Sakura had slid down the wall with her head in her hands bawling as silently as she could. She barely felt it when Neji slid his arms around her waist to help her stand up, or when he moved her kimono around so that it would cover her entire body, instead of letting her flesh be seen through the gap in the middle.

Finally, she calmed down enough to see Neji standing there with his arms wrapped around her waist making a vain attempt at fixing her kimono. She didn't say a word; she just gave him a small smile and bent down to collect her obi and the scroll that she had hidden among her clothing. The scroll was still there, and it was still intact, thank god no one had stepped on it.

He knew that she would probably want to wait to get into their room to discuss this, that is, if she wanted to discuss it at all. Although, he practically knew that she did, mainly because he was going to ask her about it and because that was probably just the beginning of the water works show, especially since Kisuke had his hand down where it shouldn't have been.

She made sure not to show Neji the scroll that she recovered, until they got into their room, where there are no spy devices or anything. If Neji doesn't know anything until they get into their room, then if they get stopped ahead of time, there will be nothing for Neji to try to hide. If only she could see the reaction he will have when she tells him why she allowed that monstrosity of a man to touch her that way, when she could have used a little miniscule amount of ninja training to just break his hold on her and get away.

On the outside, Neji was fine, she could see that, but she couldn't tell on the inside right now, since they are hiding their chakra. Although, for a second when he was helping her gather her clothing and cover herself, she though she saw some anger flash through his eyes, but she could've been just imagining it. That sounds more likely, even after what happened, he didn't treat her any different, well not to her face anyway.

They weren't quite finished with getting her completely covered, but Neji decided that it wasn't needed. He actually got impatient and scooped her up with an arm underneath her legs and around her back, bridal style, and started carrying her up the stairs.

Their room was close to the stairwell, two doors down in fact, so it didn't take him very long to open the door to their room, even with Sakura in his arms. He carried her inside and gently set her down on the bed, still as poker faced as ever, though inside, he was boiling. He didn't say a word as he backed up to lean against the opposite wall and stare at her. He knew that she wanted to say something, but he didn't know what it was. He also wanted to ask about it, but questions like these required a certain way to ask them. He knew that you didn't just come out and say, "Hey, why did you let that guy almost rape you?" no that wasn't how to do it. Asking it like that might just make it worse.

Speaking of that guy, Kisuke, is his name, he heard him tell her that as he walked out of the door of that room in the tea shop. After that he'd had to run all over this freaking city to get that weird obsessed woman to stop chasing him. By the time he had gotten back they had already left the tea shop, so he decided to sit down and have something to eat, since he knew that Sakura would have already had something with those men. He really didn't like the idea of leaving her alone with those guys, but she left him with no choice. Unfortunately, he had had a feeling that something wasn't right, and he knew exactly what that feeling was the second he went to walk up to their room and he found Kisuke, taking advantage of her. He snapped, he almost activated his Byakugan and went ninja on his happy ass, although, he would have tortured him first, probably.

As he was going through his thoughts, Sakura was watching him. He had a scowl on his flawless face, his eyes were narrowed, almost into slits, and he had his arms crossed over his chest. She knew he was mad, although, she also knew not to say anything about it, unless she wanted him to explode at her, which she didn't. She didn't necessarily know that he would explode at her, but she couldn't be sure, she had never seen him mad before. Well, showing it on his face anyway.

Finally, Neji looked up at her, with a scowl still on his face, and said, "Why did you let him do that to you?" That was the one thing that he couldn't figure out. She is a high class kunoichi, while that man, Kisuke, is a low class lord. She should have easily been able to overpower him, but she didn't, and that had him wondering why. He just didn't understand.

Sakura looked at him, smiled a small smile, and started digging through her obi, since it was huge; it was the perfect thing to hide the scroll in. She had to take her time so as not to over look it. Finally, after making Neji wait a good ten minutes, she found it and pulled it out for Neji to see. "He had it tucked into his obi, and I wanted to get it as soon as possible so we could get out of here. I didn't know how else to get it. As to your question of why I didn't just use some ninja skills to get away, I didn't want to blow our cover. It would be bad if they found out wouldn't it?" she explained calmly.

"So. You let him put his hands…touch you there for a damn scroll!" Neji raised his voice considerably and stamped his foot down on the floor. "That man has absolutely no right to touch you the way that he did!"

"Neji! Calm down. I thought that we had to get back the scroll by whatever means necessary! I saw a chance to get it, and I took it. There was no other way to get his obi off of him without drawing attention to ourselves, unless he did it himself, then he might think that he just lost it!" Sakura rose her voice as well, neither of them were arguing loud enough to be called a yell, considering what they were arguing about.

She stood up and started going through her clothing when a hand caught her arm and yanked her back to fall on the bed. She automatically gasped at this, but she also knew that she had nothing to fear from Neji. Although, she didn't know why he just did this, it was apparent that he wasn't finished talking.

"Listen, we're not through here yet! I want to know why you let him touch you like that! Why weren't you at least struggling a little?! Why weren't you at least trying to break away from that…that…Kisuke's grip?!" he nearly yelled at her, while holding her down with his body on the bed.

"Neji," Sakura whispered, as she made her body relax underneath his. She could feel him breathing in and out, and his heart beating frantically. She immediately knew that he had let himself get all worked up like this, but she didn't know why. He knew that they had to succeed in this mission no matter what the cost. So why was he acting like this was the end of the world or something?

She couldn't tell he was jealous, she just though that he was mad because she didn't discuss it with him first, but that was to be expected, from him anyway. He, however, knew that that was what this rare emotion he was feeling was. However, he didn't have any clue on how to get it to go away. He had seen his fellow shinobi act like this countless times, but he never thought that he would catch himself acting the part of the jealous lover or whatever he was to her or anybody else. It just wasn't normal Neji behavior.

He decided that he needed to calm down, she was right, however he wouldn't admit that to anyone but himself. If he didn't calm down, everyone might know that they are ninja, and that would be very bad. Their disguises are working so well that they haven't had any suspicious glances from anybody, including those lords' bodyguards.

"Just be thankful that she got the damn thing without her actually having to do anything with him," he thought. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath in an attempt to calm himself down; however, anger just rose again inside of him when he heard her start talking.

"Neji, I'm sorry that I did that with Kisuke without consulting you first, but I didn't figure that you'd care all that much as long as the mission went smoothly and we got the scroll and got out of her as planned. Neji, to tell you the truth, I was really scared back there, I didn't know if anyone would actually come and help me after I recovered the scroll or not. Kisuke, he, he seemed to be getting off on the fact that I was scared of him. Neji, I'm sorry, another reason that I didn't do anything was because there for a while, I was struggling, but as time went by and no one came, I didn't think I was going to get out of there at all, and I guess I started to panic. He liked it though, it seemed like he wanted me to be scared of him," Sakura said, in a whisper, she though that Neji hadn't heard her, but she was wrong. He was just thinking it over. Planning on which way he would kill that sick bastard the next time he saw him.

He silently looked down into her tear-filled eyes and got even madder. He couldn't stand the fact that Kisuke made her cry. He was still pissed as hell, but when he saw her face, all he could do was slowly lay himself down on top of her, while trying not to squish her, and hold her.

His anger didn't fade however, and he accidentally let a miniscule amount of his chakra out in his thoughts about how he was going torture that malicious Sakura molesting bastard when he got his hands on the fucking idiot. When he did, Sakura could instantly tell that he was pissed beyond all possible limitations.

She was upset as well, and she decided, well her body decided, that she needed to feel better, and help him feel better as well. He lifted up his head to say something, and when he did she quickly pressed her lips to his. It surprised him for a second, but in a matter of seconds he was kissing her back with the passion of a blazing fire. She ran her hands through his hair and yanked out the hair tie. He slid his hands down and started sliding them up and down her sides. Neji very quickly forgot what he was about to say, and instead pulled away from her, although he was fighting just as hard as she was to keep going.

"Kami Sakura, are you sure? I won't go back," Neji asked before kissing her again, with as much force and passion as he did the last time. He didn't even give her time to answer before he started kissing her again.

"Neji, I…

AH. He he he. I love you guys!
