In Fucking Review : Naruto is an omega after years of being a beta. WHAT?! Itachi is bigger than Sasuke in dick size. YAY! Neji might be a dick. OHNO! Kakashi and Iruka can't have hybrid kids because neither has a womb AWW~ Tsunade is planning some shady shit. WHYYY!? Sasuke is interrupted from his kiss with our uke. FUCK! Let's continue...
Neji kept his eyes on the road as he ran the plan through his mind again and again. He didn't expect that they would really allow him to use it...
Such an important and ancient tool. The last one of it's design and one of the most important heirlooms of his family was now in his back seat, draped gently in expensive silk with heavy jade to weigh it down, and in the folder next to it...that cursed fucking song sheet. Neji began to bite his nail in slight frustration but quickly stopped himself.
He reached into the glove compartment and swiftly pulled out a small array of strung Buddhist beads which he began to slowly rub between his fingers. He needed to calm down and think this through. It only made sense right? They understood the importance of this mission. They even planned to keep it between them four so too many people would know. It was only right that this was in his possession. He will use it most wisely and carefully. He will not fail.
The driver peeked into the rear view at the cloth and smiled with new confidence having made up his mind for hopefully the final time, throwing the beads into the passenger seat and speeding up to reach his destination faster. Even if it meant killing the enemy he will not fail his father.
'The Kokyu in my possession will bring peace the Hyuga Clan. This is my destiny. That Omega is mine.'
Upon arriving back to the house the bat was met by the gentle blowing of the trees and nothing more. He had brought with him food from some little ramen stop and clothes for the omega as a cover up for his late return yet it was like no one was home. The forest was silent and not a light filled any of the cottage windows as the alpha could see from the outside. He walked around the perimeter of cottage a bit in search for signs of the others until his body froze in panic and he felt the air leave his lungs immediately. It was like...no one was there...
'Wait...Did they!?'
The bat bolted inside searching the room in desperation.
He shouldn't have left! They were going cut him out! Of course they would! It's an omega! They would be thinking the same too! How could he have been so stupid and so blind?! The Uchiha family only has two successors and will die out faster than his clan. Of course they would monopolize this opportunity! Their clans represented the achievement of the hybrids over the wars and centuries of fighting and survival! The three of them as descendants were like living breathing reminders of greatness and loss! Them dying out is like losing hope! Losing history! Losing the memories of soldiers and mothers and children who all fell to starvation, murder, rape, war and death! They too understand the need of this omega to not only save their clans but to continue to act as a beacon of hope in this dark world we have now where hybrids barely have rights and are slowly watching themselves die out one at a time! and yet he left them alone with his last chance of saving his own...
His mind raced a million directions as he climbed the stairs in continued search. Immediately going blank upon the first door he had flung open in his heated rage toward himself.
Itachi was in a deep slumber upon the bed centered in the middle of the room, gripping his phone...drowned in papers and document files.
Neji felt some air reenter his lungs and small wetness began to drip down his face.
It was a relief to his currently frazzled mind. He had spent time all day thinking about this plan and not failing his father and his clan that the moment it felt like it was all going wrong it had been as though he was dying. Even if it wasn't the omega he found, seeing a sleeping Uchiha had took away that pain he started to feel build up in his chest. He rubbed his eyes to dry the tears and inhaled slowly.
He was being too transparent with his emotions. He needed to change that and remain calm no matter how he felt or what he was thinking. He needed to remain inconspicuous.
The alpha looked back at the resting other. How easily can one sleep with thoughts and concerns like this? When it feels like the fate of the world is in your hands? Was...he the only one worrying this much? Panicking so easily? Cracking under the pressure so easily?
He shook his head a bit as if to clear his mind and slowly descended down the stairs. It didn't matter how he felt or what he thought. It wasn't just about him. He needed to put idle thoughts away.
He found one Uchiha...now where is tw- "ENTERTAINER!"
A sharp yell pelted through the forest wind for the bat to hear. It was an unfamiliar voice. It wasn't far...
'Intruder?'
The Hyuga took his time into the forest following the noise of conversation and...giggling?Two voices...one most familiar.
They lead him to a clearing with a large blue moonlit lake with a small wooden dock but the beauty of the view couldn't come close to capturing his attention as he has also found the source of the noise. The bat elevated himself into a tree as he peered down at the two familiar hybrids. The Uchiha wolf and the Omega fox.
At the scene he began to bite his nail again.
'They look comfortable...too close. Since when did this happen...'
Neji frowned deeply as he observed the interaction between the two carefully. It was like playful flirting. Sasuke moves fast. Did they both have the same train of thought? It's only been one day and they were already...
'This is inconvenient. I didn't factor in their own progress with the omega but no matter...I just have to stick to the plan...but what do I do about these tw- '
"What are you two doing?"
A deep and frustrated voice erupted from below the tree in which Neji sat in quietly. The bat smirked at the newest arrival to the scene.
'Must have accidentally woken him up~ How convenient.'
Itachi had followed not to far behind Neji having been awakened from his unexpected rest. He didn't mean to drift off but his frustration and tiredness lead him to. However, from how he left the two he didn't think he would wake up and find his brother about to make out with the omega fox...The brother that hates him so greatly even after everything he'd ever done for him. Even after shouldering burden after burden and dealing with their father so Sasuke isn't disadvantaged and mistreated. Despite doing all of that for him...
The bat watched as Sasuke stood in response, wearing a most displeased expression as he did so. Neji's interest was most peeked at the expression Itachi wore in return however. He spent everyday learning about the two and spent alot of time observing them and keeping up relations due to the iffy history their families have with each other..but..this was new~ Itachi has never looked at his brother like that before even if the other did some stupid shit. The emotion that Itachi was exuding wasn't just anger...
'It was fury...'
The cogs in the bat's mind started to turn again. Some adjustments and editing was going to have to happen to his plan that meant his could monopolize the omega. Whatever caused Itachi to look at his brother so differently from how he usually does will work to his benefit~
'..This...this might slow down the two's progress with the omega a bit. The younger Uchiha isn't the most fond of the other after all...and the older one now seems to agree. If you're too busy fighting and being petty then that leaves room for me~ I'll see where this can takes me then.'
Sasuke glared over to his brother for the interruption feeling as though he had missed a perfect chance because of it and as though spitting his words he spoke,"You sure took your sweet ass time to get back..."
Itachi was not amused.
"I asked a question Sasuke."
Neji watched in satisfaction at the interaction between the two and jumped out the tree, landing beside an unsurprised and still rather unamused older alpha who's focus was completely on his brother. Sasuke's face twisted more at the other's arrival.
"..you too...Neji...Where've you been?"
"Out." Neji commented as his eyes strayed down at the sitting omega who wore nothing but a white buttoned up shirt as cover which stuck to his naked wet body and hugged his skin close. This sight caused Neji to frown a little.
'This was not becoming of a Hyuga bride. He will need training.'
"Out? Doing what? Reporting to your family?" Sasuke said facetiously as he knew why the bat hybrid used to spend time with them. Itachi remained silent also desiring an adequate reason for the Hyuga's prolonged absence.
The bat's attention snapped back to the wolf violently. He felt like throwing a fucking rock but remembered what he told himself and simply inhaled. His focus back on the younger Uchiha, as calmly and naturally as he could, swallowing down his anger, he replied.
"I bought food and clothes for the omega. I was busy...and from the looks of it...he is in desperate need of some clothing."
The wolf scuffed at the bat's response and began glaring more intensely.
"You took and awfully long time to get food and clothes...a whole day in fact."
Neji peeked over at Itachi in the corner of his eye for a brief moment before smiled back at the younger wolf a bit maliciously.
"Well you should be happy. It gave you time to flirt with the omega...speaking of which, what exactly is going on here? I'm curious as well...what were you two doing?"
The alphas' focus then fell to a confused Naruto who sat on the ground watching everything quietly with a light blush as he noticed their shift in attention and felt the need to cover himself up more with the shirt. He felt somewhat embarrassed at being caught about to kiss Sasuke by Itachi but he also felt uncomfortable by the new face. Sasuke called him Neji...
The fox couldn't quite put his tongue on what made him feel this discomfort toward the other but it definitely had alot to do with his eyes. His white lavender tinted blank eyes. He didn't like the way they looked at him. He didn't look at him the way Sasuke and Itachi did...it was more inferior..like he...was...an object to possess.
Breaking away his attention, Itachi walked closer to Sasuke, stopping directly in front of the other as though to display dominance in mass and spoke sternly down to the other, "What is Naruto doing outside in the cold? Do you think this was something that should have happened? As private as this forest is, people can still get in. may things could happen. I didn't think I had such a stupid brother that I would have to explain something as basic as that...and why are you both wet?" He questioned.
Sasuke stood silently for awhile thinking of what to say. He didn't want to admit what he did was a bit dangerous and almost got Naruto killed but... He almost got Naruto killed. It was just to have fun...Tick a box or two on the blond's bucket list...He didn't mean to tick off nearly drown in lake...
He dropped his glare and a bit of the attitude at his brother's tone and seemed to submit. He didn't have the courage to meet his intense gaze back and merely replied, "We're not children. Don't treat us like we are. We just went for a bit of a swim in the lake."
"Only children do childish shit without acknowledging the obvious dangers and consequences of their actions, Sasuke."
Sasuke bit the inside of his cheek at this. Itachi had never spoken to him like this before. He's seen him this angry but it was never ever directed at him...It..hurt a bit.
"Both of you...and you too Neji...the cottage now please." Itachi instructed as he turned back toward the forest.
Sasuke froze and looked down at Naruto who they both knew was incapable of complying to the order and the two sighed. Itachi was going to have to know. The fox frowned at the tension between the brothers but chose not to comment. Instead replying...
"...I...I can't move."
Itachi turned back toward Naurto confused. He wasn't as aggressive with the fox as he had been with his brother when he questioned,"Why not?" which resulted in the fox biting his lip anxiously. He didn't want to make Itachi more upset at Sasuke and didn't quite know how to answer. He felt uncomfortable...as though he was in some way causing all of this stress due to what he was. He never asked for this. He was feeling as though he was intruding and putting himself somewhere he didn't belong...Here.
He looked upward the other and calmly spoke in hopes of not riling up the older alpha more.
"We had a bit of an accident swimming...N..nothing big. I am to blame."
Itachi's frown deepened and he turned back to Sasuke as though demanding more information. The alpha complied...nervously.
"We were racing and...Naruto nearly drown so he's experiencing some pain right now and can't move on his own but...that's all th-"
"That's all? The last omega in the world nearly drowns...and you don't see the danger nor the problem in what you've done tonight?"
Sasuke frowned again feeling the guilt of it all. What was a sweet moment was the result of something dangerous. They shouldn't have come out here.
Naruto started to feel worst as the situation was escalating and he had no idea how to stop it. Was Itachi always like this when he was upset? He had no idea how to even begin to calm him down..and for some reason...He started to feel scared. Like how he felt being naked in front of Sasuke... He's dealt with unreasonable angry alphas before at the club and even at the ramen shop with humans but he felt so different about this situation. He wanted it to stop... Now.
"I agreed to come too...It isn't Sasuke's fault Itachi. I-"
"Why are you being like this all of a sudden?" Sasuke interjected feeling his anger start to rise back up. Itachi was being unreasonable now.
Itachi began to glare, his anger rising as well as indicated by his extended sharp nails. The two began to growl a bit at each other which made the currently disabled fox more terrified and the malicious bat that observed quietly amused. It looked as though they were going to fight..as though someone was going to die that night. The situation however quickly deescalated with a simple sentence.
"What's the matter? I thought you didn't like Mr. Perfect Itachi..."
Sasuke's eyes widened as he stopped in his tracks recalling earlier that day's events vividly. He felt sick. Itachi had heard...
"You were...wait no...I-"
"Save it." Itachi retracted his claws and turned away from the younger wolf, approaching the trembling fox carefully who was now on the verge of tears for reasons unknown to even himself.
Naruto had started to cry. He didn't understand what he was feeling and the fighting and tension wasn't helping. He'd never felt the urge to cry over something as small as this before. Only two hearts felt hurt seeing that. Itachi cupped the smaller one's face gentle and with one hand began wiping his tears of fear and worry.
"I promised to protect you Naruto. I can't allow silly accidents like what happened tonight to occur."
Through heavy hiccups Naruto replied,"You also promised to make me feel comfortable...so..stop..please."
"...I-"
"I'm cold..." Naruto interjected, not wanting to hear anymore. He dried his eyes swiftly feeling silly for crying. He wanted to return to the cottage now or...home...just like...not here. Like everyone else, he was tired.
"Sorry...Let's get you to the cottage before you catch a cold."
Itachi sighed a bit upset at himself. He lost all the anger he had came with and felt the urge to make the smaller one feel better. He lifted Naruto up gently as though he was a princess in his large warm hands. The fox instinctively cuddled into his chest. Neji all this time had merely stood and watch, studying each member of the group immensely. This was going to be brilliant for him.
The three walked off with the tired omega through the forest to the cottage. Neji stopped at the car and quietly followed Itachi with a large white bag as he instructed Sasuke to remain downstairs and took the fox into one of the many guest rooms the cottage had. He placed the fox down and departed leaving the fox and the bat alone. This pleased only one of them.
"Here is a change of clothes for you, omega..." Neji handed the large bag to the fox who had been placed carefully on the bed. His eyes took in the sight of the scantily clothes fox again...now having a proper chance to examine his target. He was small...which he hadn't noticed at the club and rather thin.
Naruto must had felt the judging gaze as he quickly responded to the other.
"Naruto"
Neji halted his scan,"What?"
"I am not just 'omega'...My name is Naruto."
"Ah...my apologies. I didn't mean to offend you. It was my destiny to meet you...Our first official meeting was rather...tense. Don't you think?...I'm sorry. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Neji. I hope we do get along. It is as though our meeting was fate after all. Don't you agree?" He smiled.
Naruto eyed the other oddly and chose to push his odd choice of words to the back of his mind.
"Okay...um..sure...Thank you for the clothes."
Neji nodded at the fox he now knew by name and exited the room so he could change, returning to a tense living room where Sasuke and Itachi sat quietly. At this Neji felt as though the world was bending for him to achieve his goals. The Uchiha brothers have never been like this. As silly and petty as they would get they were still always one unit when the time came...That unity was gone now.
At Neji's arrival Itachi spoke.
"Now you two.."
The wolf directed his attention to the bat. As upset as he was, he and his brother could still agree on one thing. Neji took way too long to return.
"Where did you go Neji?"
The two were both completely focused on the other who merely smirked.
'As if I'd talk.'
"Shopping..."
He maintained his story having no plans of ruining his mission now. Itachi sighed. He was still very much exhausted and didn't have the strength or the peace of mind to dig any further. He felt upset that he wasn't able to protect Naruto and he had made the fox upset enough to cry and then the situation with his brother wasn't helping. He chose to let this go.
"Fine...Whatever," he sighed,"Tommorrow I need you to pick up Kakashi again from his lab and bring him to sign the contract and we'll make sure one time that Naruto isn't running any risk after your silly accident." He stated as he turned to Sasuke for a brief moment before back to the other.
"You can use the other guest room Neji. In your prolonged absence I'm sure you planned to stick around. We will discuss more on Naruto tomorrow. It seems as though that will be necessary. I'm going back to bed...Good night."
With that Itachi re climbed the stairs to his room.
'And then there was one.'
Neji looked over at the dejected wolf in slight satisfaction who sat silently the whole time.
"How sad...I've never seen Itachi like this. He sounds so...unlike himself...oh what did you do Sasuke?~" He said in a mocking sweet tone.
"Shut up bat. I'm going to bed."
Sasuke grumbled and stood, storming toward the stairs as well. Neji hummed in response as he watched the other leave him alone in the room before he himself left...stepping outside and returning to grab some more items from his car. He gently lifted the expensive silk and took careful grasp of the elegantly designed wooden instrument from it's cloth prison. He examined it, taking in the noticeable cursed seal that decorated it's right side before looking toward the large moon that peeked over the tall trees childishly and the tiny stars that twinkled beside it.
"Not a cloud in the sky. It's such a lovely night for music...hmmm?"
Naruto, now dressed in a lovely white lace Japanese robe decorated in gentle pink sakura flowers, curled into the large empty bed...left to his thoughts before closing his eyes to a gentle sad song ringing through the quiet forest sky.
Neji played his Kokyu.
