Sasuke was now sitting on the bed in one of the lavish bedrooms of the Hyuuga summer home. The leave was sudden, the flight was uneventful, as predicted, but he still found himself surprised to be here in such a short time frame.

As Neji had directed, Ino had come into his room, helped him pack a few bags and within the hour he was in the limo heading to the airport, his fiancé on the phone the entire way going over business. Sasuke didn't pay much attention, keeping his eyes out the limo window watching the scenery since Neji's aura reeked of anger. His omega curled up deep within the recesses of his mind, riddled with submission and fear of the nearby alpha, and Sasuke was thankful the Hyuuga alpha didn't ask questions or even take notice of Sasuke's presence during the trip to the summer house. He was only saddened that he was hours away by plane from his home. Not that his family ever visited or contacted him anyhow, but somehow being in an unfamiliar place left him unsettled.

The moment they'd arrived, Neji took root in one of the offices in the Hyuuga summer home, taking phone calls before the plane had even landed. It was apparent that Neji was more involved with his campaign, now that it was getting closer to election day that left Sasuke basically to fend for himself. Before leaving, he didn't have a chance to pack any of the books he enjoyed, so he didn't know what he was going to do while he was here.

Eyes locking onto the window, he decided to take in the view the landscape had to offer. The summer home overlooked the ocean so it was a sight to behold when he leaned against the windows ledge to peer out. He let loose his thoughts allowing them to wander wherever they felt the need as he watched the waves roll against the pristine shore.

The ocean was indeed beautiful, and he was immediately reminded of the glorious blue orbs of the blond alpha that he had met several times now. Not that he was keeping track. His omega suddenly released a purr at the thought and easily provided visions of those Caribbean coloured eyes, this had Sasuke's cheeks heating up in an instant.

The blond alpha was certainly quite handsome and strong, and Sasuke closed his eyes remembering every detail he could about the alpha. He thought he could even recall the alpha's scent if he inhaled slowly. It was rich and soothing, and his omega purred in agreeance. The tan coloured skin that he saw tucked beneath the collar of his shirt, the smooth lines of his collar bones and broad shoulders. He briefly wondered what was under the shirt. He imagined it was all defined lines of muscle, hard yet soft under his hand. He had to wonder though, did he have any chest hair or was his body smooth and lithe like a swimmer?

He didn't know how long he leaned against the window sill, lost in memory and flashes of the blond alpha, but he was ripped from his thoughts when he heard Neji's voice enter the room.

Neji scented the air, his nose passing about and a lusty grin grew on his face. "Well, I knew this was a wonderful idea for you. You smell like you're really enjoying yourself already and we've only been here a few hours." Neji's voice was heavy with desire and lust. He quickly walked up to Sasuke, gripping him tightly against his chest and dipping his nose into Sasuke's neck.

Sasuke froze but allowed the alpha to scent him, his omega immediately retreated to somewhere hidden in the corner of his mind.

"Mm, Sasuke, my perfect and beautiful mate," Neji purred as he licked at Sasuke's neck causing Sasuke to tremble. The alpha reeked of alcohol making Sasuke's nose bunch up. Neji grinned at feeling the omega tremble in his grasp and ran his hands down Sasuke's back and grasped at his ass, giving the globes a strong and none to gentle squeeze. "I'm pleased you're feeling better my pet," Neji continued to whisper while giving light bites and licks along Sasuke's neck. He moved his hand into Sasuke's pants, fingers probing and feeling for his opening.

Sasuke gasped at the sudden and rough intrusion, making his body begin to tremble more at the sensation. He could feel the fear dripping through his body, the sudden sexual grabs by his fiancé were not comfortable nor were they wanted. Neji had not stopped drinking since boarding the plane, his cheeks and nose were red from the intoxication and Sasuke knew what would come from it, especially if he said no.

"You're so wet for me," Neji hummed out as he dragged his fingers over Sasuke's hole.

Sasuke said nothing, certain there was slick, but it wasn't from Neji's advances. He felt ashamed as he realised that he must have developed slick while thinking about the blond alpha.

"You have no idea how much you are turning me on," the alpha once again purred and released a heady arousal scent, thick with alcohol that Sasuke nearly gagged on. "Let me show you just how much," Neji whispered out, gripping Sasuke's neck tightly, expressing his dominance while using his grip to direct Sasuke towards the bed.

==intermission==

Sasuke lay on his side under the covers on the bed, staring at the starlit sky through the window. The Hyuuga alpha lay snoring behind him, facing away from him, (thank goodness), the smell of alcohol and sex dripping from his pores. Once the alpha was spent, Neji had unceremoniously rolled Sasuke off him and fell upon his back, promptly passing out. No care for the ravens pleasure or release, no, after he finished emptying his seed in and on Sasuke as well all over the sheets, he called it a night.

After several more minutes, Sasuke slowly slipped out of bed, minding the pain that ripped through his body and made his way to the ensuite bathroom.

Taking a cloth, he ran it under the warm water and filled up the sink. Taking the cloth, he ran it gently around his face and neck, wincing slightly at the bruises that were starting to take form around his throat. He hated it when Neji was drunk. The alpha had a kink for asphyxiation when he was in this state, that coupled with his almost natural aggressive behaviour during sex meant he didn't care if Sasuke was enjoying it or not.

Looking at the forming marks, Sasuke's fingertips brushed over them, forcing him to relive the events and words the alpha whispered to him.

'That's a good omega slut…'

'You little bitch, taking all my cock…'

'You belong to me you little whore…'

'Choke and submit omega…'

Sasuke pinched his lips together to suppress the sob that threatened to come up through his abused throat. He focused on wiping down his body, wincing when he gently applied pressure to his opening, and wiped a tear away when he discovered there was a small stain of blood on the cloth. The alpha had ripped his opening again. Neji constantly tried to knot Sasuke when he was drunk, but never allowed the knot to stay within him when it swelled. The alpha would constantly pull it out, blubbering out words of feeling his alpha pride through his knot, right before slamming the swelled knot back into him before repeating the action over and over again, causing Sasuke nothing but pain as it literally ripped him apart. No amount of crying, begging or pleading, Sasuke had learned, would make the alpha stop. The alpha would either cover Sasuke's mouth and nose firmly with his hand, or give him several punches to the head until he was quiet.

He retrieved the healing cream that he always carried with him and applied it to the damaged area. Once he was done cleaning himself up, instead of going back to the bed with the passed out alpha, he decided to go downstairs and find something to eat. He would go to bed later, after the alpha woke and left the room, as per the norm.

==x00x00x00x00x00x==

"Uzumaki," the alpha barked into the cell phone when answering it. The blond alpha was currently flipping through some log books at his desk, his frustration levels rising as he looked over the lines of numbers.

"I have some news, we need to meet," the silver alpha's voice rang through.

"Better be good news," Naruto firmly spoke back, eyes still skimming the page.

"Can you meet me? As soon as possible?" Kakashi questioned quickly.

Naruto confirmed a time and place before ending the call. Writing down some numbers into the book, he grabbed his keys and quickly left.

The two alphas sat across from each other in a booth tucked into a far corner at one of the local restaurants in Tokyo. The place was rather busy, always packed with tourists coming in and out, likely because the place offered a variety of cultural treats. It was a good place to meet, since the customer traffic was never the same people, therefore nobody would question or even glance twice at the two alpha's.

"This information," Kakashi tapped his fingers on the documents placed before Naruto on the table. "Is enough to shut it all down and the media should have a field day with this." He grinned.

Naruto looked over the papers, nodding his head in agreement.

"This will definitely bring him down and he doesn't even have to be here for us to move forward with it." Kakashi leaned back then, folding his arms across his chest and shaking his head. "And as of right now, I know he left the area for a sudden vacation." Naruto growled under his breath at the information. "There's no law saying he can't leave the country Naruto," Kakashi continued. "But we can't arrest him while he's out of the country. It will just take longer for us to get his exact whereabouts and request jurisdiction or have the local authorities move in for the arrest."

Naruto flicked the folder with his fingers so it slid back across towards Kakashi. "I see," he hummed, tapping his fingers frustratedly on the table.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes at the alpha. "Naruto…" Kakashi's voice gave a warning tone. Naruto raised his brows at the other man, feigning innocence. "With this information, it's enough."

Naruto just shrugged his shoulders. "Good. Do what you can." He glanced at his phone before moving to leave the booth. "I have another meeting I can't miss." He stood, pulling on his sports jacket to smooth out the wrinkles. "Can't wait to read about this one." He tapped the folder still on the table, winked and turned to leave.

…some time later…

"Has he responded to any calls? Messages?" Naruto asked, taking a bite from his sweet, custard filled danish.

The redheaded alpha sitting across from Naruto shook his head in response.

"How late?" Naruto mumbled out between bites.

"More than we allow," the redhead grumbled.

"Okay move forward and keep me informed Gaara," Naruto brushed off his fingers on a napkin, dabbing at the corner of his mouth before taking a sip of his coffee.

"I'm insulted," Gaara huffed out a sound and threw a teasing glare towards the blond alpha. Naruto stopped moving and focused on his long time trusted friend. "You talk like I don't tell you anything."

Naruto snorted out a laugh. "He's not here though. Apparently he's on vacation," the alpha informed the other.

The redheaded alpha let out another snort. "Like that's ever stopped me."

Naruto gave the other a warm smile. "I'd like you to do something for me when you attend to our dear little alpha," he started, making the redhead tilt his head at the blond, indicating he was listening. "There is an omega there, blue-black hair, impossible black eyes and smooth porcelain coloured skin." Gaara raised his brows silently at the description and Naruto hummed slightly while looking into his coffee cup in a dream-like state. "Let me know how he is, k?" He lifted his blue eyes up to the redhead who's eyebrows were fully raised at the command.

Taking control of his face, Gaara smirked. "Someone caught your eye, hmm? How will I know which one he is if there is more than one?" Gaara's voice was light and he was teasing the other.

"There is no other like him," Naruto retorted. "Just keep your eyes open." Naruto nodded his head at the redheaded alpha. He didn't need to explain himself further to his friend.

"Oh ho, I see," Gaara teased again, that had Naruto give a threatening growl at him in response. "Okay okay," Gaara held his hands up in surrender. "I'll make sure to bring you back a report, on him," he chuckled at the last part.

"Thanks man, I'll owe ya," Naruto beamed a smile, leaning back in his chair.

"I'll add that to the already long list," Gaara laughed and Naruto feigned surprise before laughing in response.

==x00x00x00x00x00x==

Sasuke wandered along the beach, taking in the subtle scents and gentle sounds the ocean had to offer. He was swept away by the beauty of the blue water, the sun beaming upon his skin, and the sea salt scented air that was refreshing compared to the stale smell the city had to offer. Over the past week it had become a habit of his to take a long walk along the beach first thing in the morning.

It had quickly become one of his favourite times of the day and each time he walked, images of brilliant blue eyes like the ocean came forth while he would stare across the horizon over the water. The sun shining of course had him thinking about the colour of the alpha's hair, the tan skin and for once he allowed his omega to indulge in the memories. He felt an overwhelming peaceful state when allowing himself to immerse in the thoughts of that blond alpha and only for a fleeting moment would he question it.

He was now allowing himself to acknowledge that his arranged marriage was not going to be all sunshine and roses. It was a marriage of business, nothing more, nothing less. His only regret was the possibility of him and Neji procreating into their obvious loveless, business marriage setup. He didn't like the thought of bringing children into his current reality, but Neji had never mentioned having an heir, yet. He shook his head of the thoughts, determined to not let it get to him just yet and made his way back towards the summer home.

Slipping through the grand balcony doors that overlooked the beach, Sasuke stopped when he heard raised voices floating through the hallway. One of them he recognized as Neji, the other, he didn't recognize at all.

'Has he got his accountants here? Perhaps one of his advisors?' Sasuke thought to himself. Though he thought it odd that Neji's staff may be here at his summer home, considering all his dealings over the last week and a bit have been over the phone. The only staff that he had seen at the summer house were the servants in charge of the house itself. He quietly closed the balcony doors and headed inside. Since he had to walk by Neji's office to get further into the house, he couldn't help but overhear pieces of the conversation behind the closed wooden doors.

"— overlooked, I apologise —just need more time." It was Neji's voice Sasuke heard first and he slowed his steps.

"— gave you a generous — doesn't do favours — not a charity." The voice was someone Sasuke didn't recognize and he leaned his ear a little closer towards the doors to hear more.

" — me 24 hours, I guarantee —" Neji's voice sounded like he was pleading, practically begging and Sasuke frowned, having never heard the alpha sound so desperate. Then there was the sound of something hitting the floor and Sasuke could have sworn he heard Neji whimper out a plea, but he wasn't sure.

'Just what is going on in there?' Sasuke pondered to himself.

"You will have 24 hours then," a deep voice came through the door, much clearer than before. The door handle clicked and Sasuke jumped back. He started to walk away but the scent of a powerful and fierce alpha hit him from behind and he couldn't help but look over his shoulder. His eyes falling upon a large red headed alpha who came through the open doors, whose teal coloured eyes zeroed in on him immediately and Sasuke barely staved off his instincts telling him to fall to the floor and immediately submit. The redheaded alpha stared at Sasuke, his teal eyes quickly moving over his frame and then he smirked.

Sasuke looked away as if dismissing the alpha, while turning his nose up at the red head and walked away proudly. He heard the alpha chuckle behind him but there was no more interaction from the alpha and Sasuke made it up to his room quickly. He shut the door and leaned against it, taking in some deep breaths of clear air and to calm his heart.

'Who the hell was that!?' he thought to himself. That alpha was reeking of intimidation, his scent indicating that he was not one to be messed around with and Sasuke couldn't help but wonder why Neji had someone like that in his office. Sasuke was certain that the red headed alpha wasn't on Neji's political team or payroll. Deciding that he really wasn't interested in knowing more, he slipped off his outdoor clothing and went to take a bath. When he was finished, he put on a light satin dark blue yukata and slippers, determined to relax and have a light snack with a cup of tea.

Slipping into the small chair located near the patio of his room, a small table to his side with tea and a snack, he flipped on the television. Flipping through the channels, he came across the news and thought it best to catch up on local events.

'Breaking News,' said the blue haired news anchor as she was handed some papers that made her eyes widen slightly with shock. She quickly rustled through them before continuing..

'Information has been brought to light by unidentified sources of potential fraud and embezzlement happening to various charities within the region, this has gained the attention of the local authorities who are moving in on the targets as we speak.'

Sasuke stopped his cup midair, his eyes widened slightly as he reached for the remote and turned up the volume.

'Various charges are being brought forward against the potential parties involved, which include the following: Utatane Corp, Mitocado Inc and Hyuuga Company.'

Sasuke slowly put down his cup, his ears ringing as he heard no more of what the blue haired anchor woman continued to say, her lips seeming to move faster and faster. The words of the breaking news continued to flow in bright red letters across the bottom of the screen along with the names of the three companies, the last one being the Hyuuga name.

The picture then changed to show the outside of Mitocado Inc, a shaky news camera caught reporters pushing each other about, their hands shoving microphones into the faces of several elder managers, supervisors and so on, that were trying to leave the Mitocado building.

'— tell us about the money…'

'— you know that several thousand…'

'— do you not care about…'

The news reports fired off rapid questions one after another while the men and women in suits held their hands up, saying things like 'no questions' while others simply just ignored the reporters, all the while young, thick shouldered bodyguards held up their arms to keep the reporters at bay.

Sasuke slowly stood, his eyes not leaving the television, his fingers tracing the top of the small table.

'As you can see here, the young Hyuuga heir is not at the company building nor is he at his 'lush mansion'. It was told, by an undisclosed source, that the young Hyuuga heir had left the country just days ago. Authorities are looking into his whereabouts and are expected…'

Sasuke now stood within two feet of the large flat screen television, mounted on the wall. The scenes on the television reflecting in his eyes.

'Rumours have it that the Hyuuga heir is most likely 'visiting' his summer home, which is located…'

Sasuke slammed his fist into the glass of the flat screen television. Electric cracks popped out and crawled across the screen, while the video playing flickered about, colours bleeding into one another as the pixels broke. Sasuke slammed his other fist into the screen for good measure, before turning on his heel and leaving the room, one destination in mind.

He didn't knock. He didn't care. Sasuke slammed open the office door where he knew his fiancé was hiding behind. Anger boiled through Sasuke's veins and with the adrenaline washing over his body, he didn't even feel the cuts on his knuckles from when he smashed the extravagant television in his room.

Neji had stood quickly from his chair behind his desk, his pale eyes round in shock before turning into a heated glare when he realised it was Sasuke that had barged into his office. "What the FUCK do you think—" the alpha growled out.

"You gawd damn fucking crook!" Sasuke seethed through his teeth, coming to a stop before Neji's desk. "I should have known that my records were right and that money was missing!"

"How dare you," Neji warned, the alpha releasing a thick warning scent. "Barge in here and accuse me of such–such–"

"CUT the fucking bullshit! It's all over the news! I saw it, you fucking low down filthy cunt theif," Sasuke snapped back. "That money was for charity!" Sasuke shook his head and tsk'd while his eyes gave Neji a disgusted look. "It would seem that the degenerate Hyuuga history has made itself known in its successor," he snarled.

Neji slammed his hands on the desk. " .You." It was only a matter of a second, before Neji was around his desk and shoving Sasuke to the floor, catching the Uchiha off guard.

Sasuke was not expecting the sudden move and found himself on the floor and dazed for a moment. But it was a moment too long, before he could understand what was happening, a fist found his right temple and had him blinded and crying out in pain. The omega whined out in submission as Sasuke's head hit the floor.

"How fucking dare you call me, such–" Neji's anger was practically frothing at his mouth while he stared down at the dazed Uchiha, his fists clenched at his side. The growls emanating from his chest echoed in the room, indicating his displeasure with the omega. The alpha swung his foot at the young Uchiha, his shoes meeting Sasuke's stomach easily. He grinned sadistically hearing the cry.

"You–" he kicked again, "are my–" another kick, "fiancé! Bred to bend over and do what I command!" Neji huffed out the words with each kick, the alpha feeling satisfaction at hearing the unmistakable sounds of a crack. The omega released a scent of mercy, but that only angered the alpha more.

Grinding his canines, Neji reached down and pulled Sasuke's hair, holding the omega's face up to his own. "You will behave, submit and regret opposing me, my omega."

Sasuke could see the colour changing in Neji's eyes as the alpha's fierceness forced its way to the front. He grabbed at Neji's hands that was holding his hair, trying to remove the thick fingers and claws that were holding onto him. His omega was trying to submit but Sasuke wouldn't allow it.

"Like fuck I'll submit to you and your treason, I'll die first," Sasuke sputtered between his teeth, dragging his smaller claws across the alpha's hands. His attacks were futile, as a fist met with his left cheek. Sasuke felt his jaw become dislodged and his tongue sliced open by his teeth. His head was jerked to the side, but the alpha's fist still hung onto his hair, keeping his face upright.

Sasuke lost count of how many blows he received from the enraged alpha, who's scent was so fierce and thick with rage, Sasuke found himself begging for death when the alpha finally dropped him to the floor. His head was ringing, he heard nothing but the sounds of his own heart beating in his ears. Pain was all he knew at that moment. It went from his head down his neck through his ribs and bloomed in his stomach, all of which made it hard to think, let alone breathe. His inner omega tried to sooth him mentally, but it was all in vain. He didn't know why Neji stopped, but decided not to question it and just fade into the darkness.
