A/N: I started a new fic because I knew if I just kept the idea in my head I'd lose it. "Dear Sakura Column". It's a yaoi of course. Do tell me your thoughts! Also I will be starting back "They Were Twins" soon, but if im honest i cant find the plot i wrote down years ago so i have to come up with a new idea. I'm sorry.( ´･･)ﾉ(._.`)
In fucking review: Neji is Neji and Itachi went for a run.
Naruto's body felt heavy as he sluggishly tried to force himself up and out the bed.
His head hurt. A throbbing pain at the back of his skull and a stinging pain like multiple small cuts in his scalp. His lips and throat were sore and dry and his mouth had an odd salty nutty flavour he'd never tasted before.
The small male looked around the room a bit before looking over himself that laid buried under the matching set sheets of his bed.
He didn't recall what happened during the day, how he got into the bed naked or the weird faded black swirl pattern that suddenly appeared on his stomach.
It didn't come off...
Was he sick?
A bad fever?
That would explain the blacking out. He didn't remember alot of the day, just...flashes. Like Sasuke on the bed, Itachi in the dining room...otherwise nothing...
And whenever it happened it was like...he was falling from his own eyes. Sinking into a random darkness. He was conscious in that dark void that wrapped around his body and made him feel heavy and tired, but he couldn't do anything about it.
He was...just there.
Time moved quickly and slowly at the same time. It was hot and cold. It was...scary, as though he was losing something important each and every time it happened.
As awful as he felt, he remembered nothing truly but the feeling before waking up wherever he ended up.
Yesterday it was the couch.
Today it was the bed.
But where would he end up tomorrow?
Maybe he was going delusional?
Still, if he were sick, it didn't explain the aching in his chest.
They started to get slightly bigger and more plump. They ached a bit and he was beginning to lose a bit of his abs. His body was getting chubby from doing nothing all day.
The fox shifted his position a little and stretched his body, flexing his back before rubbing his stomach a bit in thought.
From the angle he was looking at it, it looked as though something was rising to the surface from under his skin. It looked like how a vein would under the skin...just more monstrous and ugly in a pattern like design.
In all honestly the random blueish tint under his skin was the least of his concerns in the moment despite the many questions that came to mind about it. Other issues that he had been experiencing for some time now felt like a priority. The rising spiral, though a major topic of concern, he decided was best to investigate another time.
'Hehe...one day something else would rise there...'
was what he thought at the back of his mind.
A cute baby bump.
He actually kinda wanted it.
To be a mom.
He never knew his own mother, or his dad. Iruka was like his mom and he wanted to be as just an amazing parent as that man was for him. An-
Naruto darted quickly to the door of the room, capturing the sheet along with him in the brisk retreat and looked toward the open window wide eyed...panicked. He was in the middle of a thought before he felt a deep chill roll down his spine. A familiar one.
He was being watched.
He'd felt the feeling before. Of course you would, working in an entertainment club in the middle of the night. Stalkers, drunks...a dangerous intent.
"Who's there?"
This one, however, disappeared as soon as it came.
"WHO'S THERE?!"
The moment it was noticed, it vanished.
Someone was in the forest.
The male darted out the door and bolted down the stairs before freezing at the bottom of the steps, hugging his body closely in the slight warmth of the bed sheet, trying the shield from the cold as his mind began to race.
Who was in the private forest?
Let alone in the trees to watch him from the second floor window?
Sure, Naruto was strong but was this something he should be handling on his own?...as an omega?
Naruto hated to admit that...the truth was he wasn't the man he was before. It was different now, and he had a responsibility. His body wasn't his alone...and he felt that in more ways than one...
The small omega turned, about to rush back up the stairs to look for any one of the brothers before the front door in the living room burst open suddenly which caught his attention and caused him to panic. The fox felt his heart rate increase drastically and his knees weaken a bit.
His animalistic instinct to run was kicking in...
However, he did not move.
He needed to see who it is and at all cost fight and scream as loud as he could until Neji came.
'Neji?'
"Naruto?"
"I...Itachi?"
A wave of relief washed over and he relaxed his body, slumping against the stairs in mental and emotional exhaustion.
"What are you doing at the foot of the stairs naked?"
The older male paced over a bit panicked having raced back to the house upon hearing the yell. The wolf frowned a big and the male who had slumped onto the steps in a small cocoon made of sheets and picked him up bridal style very gently and looking over the smaller male's face in search of visible signs of discomfort. Pleased to find nothing but a large toothy grin that met his subtle smile in reply.
"I could say the same for you."
Itachi chuckled a bit, acknowledging his nudity as well and walked up the stairs with care to return the blue eyed fox to his room. He gingerly rest Naruto into the bed, propping his head onto the nearest pillow.
He scanned the blonde again, trying the lift the sheet a bit before the fox grabbed his hand with a slight tremble that froze him from completing the action.
"I felt like someone was watching me...so I ran down. I don't think I was thinking straight."
"Ah...I see. Well if it happens again, come to me first, understood? Had it not been me that walked through the door you could have been in danger..."
Itachi slipped his hand away and sighed. His expression of lax becoming slightly serious.
"Sorry...I know my body isn't just mine anymore."
"Don't say that. It is your body and yours alone. You have a choice no matter what anyone tells you. I'm just worried about your safety."
Naruto hummed a bit with a chuckle as he pulled his arm back into the cocoon, wrapping it tighter from the inside, making sure his stomach was covered.
It was the darnest thing, that for some reason...he felt a rush of fear fill his lung when Itachi almost saw the mark...
but the fear wasn't his...
"Your johnson seems to also be worried about me too. He's very...alert."
"Very much at attention. Ignore him, he's a young eager soldier looking for something to do." Itachi tried to joke, brushing the locks of blonde out of the small omega's face.
He held back a deep desire as he released the fox and stood from his seat at the edge of the bed.
The rush of the chase he just partook in plus seeing the omega nude at the bottom of the stairs as though waiting for him caused him great excitement, like a reward after hard work, however, in this very moment was not the time to indulge in the urge.
This was bad.
The alpha walked around the bed toward the opening in the wall and looked out the window for a bit, quietly listening before closing, locking it and drawing the curtains shut.
"For now rest and ease your mind. Sasuke and I will deal with the matter. It's likely we have to move. If you felt someone watching you...that means...it wasn't the same person I was chasing."
Neji had parked the car a good distance from the cabin. He was slightly buzzed which didn't help his current annoyance as he struggled with the seatbelt, struggled with opening the door, getting the fucking instrument out the car...
'Everything is a fucking struggle.'
The bat stood up straight and tried to clear his mind and calm himself down. Now was not the time for this.
In and out
If he didn't do this then the hypnosis would be incomplete and cause problems he needed to avoid later down the line.
It seemed like it was going well. He could see the effects like whenever he visited, even just for a moment, the fox would come out to greet him.
It was a little cute.
Fed into his desires a bit.
The visual of the fox crawling over to him every evening to greet him on all fours with a gag in his mouth and a nice cute gem-stoned cock ring with matching collar really started doing it for him these days.
Upon grabbing the instrument, Neji began his usual trek toward the cabin before freezing in his steps.
He could hear it.
He could hear that he wasn't alone...and the release of his high frequency whistle that allowed him to make out things in the dark as a bat further confirmed what he dreaded most.
One familiar face
and two unknown ones...
"Shit"
Neji did not play his Kokyu.
