Chapter 8: Official part 2

Neji dug through the ruins of Lee's home which he'd ignored before, the hole in the ground was still there from when he and Kiba dug up the safe. He never really thought to go through all of this rubble for a clue, mainly because he thought nothing was left worth salvaging. But if what Gai spoke of was underground then Lee's important things would be safe.

By now Neji knew the basic layout of Lee's house, after digging his way through two rooms and a hallway he'd found his way to the bed room. Currently he was over the spot where he was fairly sure the bed was...or weather had been and hoped he'd find the removable floor board. His Bakyugan was helping out a lot, though it was hard to make one thing out from the other with all of this debris bunched together.

"Hey Neji, looking for something?" Kiba asked from behind, peering over Neji's shoulder with Akamaru doing the same from his head.

"Yes." Neji said plainly, pulling out a thick piece of would that he figured came from the roof. "There's a"

"Neji!" Kiba called abruptly, his nose in the air sniffing some type of scent he'd just caught. "I smell blood...really wired blood...like it's mixed with a ammonia or something with a low PH balance." Neji had to give it to Kiba, he was smart in curtain aspects of things and scent was one of them. "It's coming toward us fast!"

Neji looked around cautiously, even with the Bakyugan he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. "What are you talking about?"

"I take that back, A lot of something is coming up from the ground!" Kiba shouted, jumping into the pile of debris and grabbing Neji abruptly. He pulled him back just as something big, black and greenish burst through the ground and the debris. "What the hell is that!"

"You mean those...they're insects...a swarm of them." Neji told him, looking at the mass of bugs each the size of locust. They're backs, antenna, the manacles over they're mouths and wings where green but they're underbellies and legs were black, all if it was off set by half green and black eyes. Strange creatures, a hundred or so of them.

"This doesn't make sense..." Neji back away a little as the swarm ravished around the home's wreckage, eating wood, metal, or anything else in they're path like termites or even comparable to acid. "They're like a vacuum... They don't have Chakra, they're body's suck it in...Be careful, I don't know what the expect from something like this"

Akamaru barked and started growling. Kiba glanced up at him and then back at the bugs "I see it too...Neji, look at them...it's creepy."

Neji knew he was talking about look at them with his eyes, so he stopped the Bakyugan effect and looked closely. "I don't..." At first he didn't see anything, but after he watched for a second he saw that the air...reality was distorting around their bodies like heat did air on a hot day. "What are these things? And why are they here?"

Akamaru barked again, growling louder. "I smell demon...What do we do?" Kiba glanced over at Neji while keeping an eye on odd bugs moving around in a strange formations as the crawled over the wood, glass and metal.

The swarm seemed to lose interest in devouring the ruins, but it was obvious that it wasn't because they were full. It wasn't clear why they were here but it was clear that Neji and Kiba we're they're next target just by the way they were gathering up. It wasn't clear why they were about to come after them, but they were, Neji and Kiba had to deal with it. "We're demon hunters, we do what we do best." Neji pulled a Kunai from the holder behind him, it wouldn't be much help against a swarm.

In fact physical attacks wouldn't work unless a person was in-humanly fast and had plenty of time to use on a fight. Unfortunately both of them specialized in physical attacks, it was nearly impossible to hit anything with these types of demons throwing punches, but a piercing blow was better then an impact blow. "You think we can do this?" Kiba asked nervously, picking Akamaru off of his head who immediately mimicked him, It was especially unnerving that swarm started buzzing loudly while they moved toward them.

"We can because we have to." Neji jumped back just before the swarm could surround him, that wouldn't be a good place to be against insects that could chew through metal.

Kiba on the other hand was surrounded quickly since he lacked Neji's speed and could only flail wildly to swat them off, blood start streaming down nearly every part of his body suddenly and Kiba grunted in pain. "Damnit! This is impossible."

Akamaru howled, running head first into the swarm and ramming Kiba out of the center, rolling to the ground safely on the other side. "We need Jutsus that it a wide area, I don't know any of those." Kiba shook the streaming blood off himself in a very dog like manner as he flipped on to his feet and started moving backwards as the horde spread outward toward both of them.

"Improvise!" Neji shouted, the veins surrounding his eyes pressed outward thicker then usual due to frustration. He didn't have any Jutsu of that... 'Heavenly spin!' That's it, he could use that!

Neji dived into the center of the spreading hoard, expelling Chakra from every tenketsu point on his body, but a controlled way making it revolve around him in a massive energy.

"!" The bugs were slowed some, one or two of them becoming entangled in the spin. But other then that they moved toward him since he was the one attacking. And the insects weren't slow, he quickly found that out, with in a few more second Neji had a countless number of them covering him completely before he even realized it.

A dangerously near explosion erupted from the ground in front of Neji, blowing or driving the demons off of his body and knocking Neji to the ground. "Wha?" he glanced over to the left of him and saw Kiba... no Akamaru had used that Nine-tail's explosion technique though he found it hard to control.

"I don't know about this one Neji... " Kiba ran over to Neji's side, The mimicking Akamaru following closely behind. "Maybe we should get out of here and let someone more equipped handle it." He had noticed that they're scent had changed, it wasn't really a complete change only the acidic ammonia smell was starting to over power the scent of they're blood. He wasn't sure what that meant but it made him even more nervous.

"We don't have much choice in the matter." Neji took a step backwards, unable to move fast enough to do anything but watch the insects surround them. They didn't all attack at once this time, but they swirled around them in a formation similar to a whirlpool or a tornado. Though seeming minimal and useless at the time, it's effect started to kick in.

Suddenly surrounded by strong winds, the three were slowly lifted off of the ground in a disoriented manner by the air currents that were still gaining speed. With in a few seconds the insects were nothing but a green and black blur, distorted by their speeds and the now visible tornado that had picked up a fair amount of debris .

They were thrown round dizzily, their bodies flying into the walls of insects, smashing anything strong enough to withstand the blow and breaking through anything that wasn't, and pummeling into each other. As if that wasn't bad enough, the wind was pulling them apart from all sides, it's suction was immense.

Which made Neji notice that the swarm had become much easier to hit. "Kiba, now's our chance!"

"Aahhhhhaaa..." Kiba clinched his eyes tightly and curled into a ball, only to be knocked out of his position after smashing into Neji "Gatsuuga!" He pulled his arms back to the side and pulled a large amount of air and Charka into his hands. He mixed them together until they swirled into a drill like form, then he threw them forward, unleashing a near invisible force that slammed into the insect wall. Now that some of them were in one very predictable spot that was hard to miss, he was sure to strike something. And he did, taking out most of left wall with one hit.

The winds weakened a little but the other insects moved in and filled the gap and brought the current back up to speed, it was still much too strong. So much so that it was painful, very painful.

Neji tried to centralize himself, using his Bakyugan to see everything around him so he'd be able to move with whatever came his way. He kicked off a wooden pillar flying past him and thrust his body into the center of the tornado, moving with the currents, twisting and turning his body to avoid anything that came his way. 'Their teamwork is amazing, they move as if they all have one mind and each insect is just a body part...'

Neji released his Chakra into his heavenly spin again, turning against the winds in an attempt to stop the currents. It wasn't working very well, the winds were pushing the rotation of his attack in the opposite direction. 'I need...more Chakra.' Less and less of his Chakra started being used to maintain his Bakyugan, all of it was moving into his Heavenly spin. That's when a strange but oddly familiar thing began to happen, his Bakyugan remained active even though all of his Chakra was going to other uses. 'It's happening again...what is this?' Neji shook his head, he had to focus. 'I need more Chakra.'

He put every thing he had into his heavenly spin, trying to force his own attack to rotate counter-clockwise. All of his efforts brought the winds and his Heavenly spin to a complete and conflicting stand still, but just because nothing was moving didn't mean both forces couldn't still move an object. Kiba and Akamaru were sent flying out of the wall of insects, landing a few feet away in the center of the rubble. "Oh man..."

Kiba rubbed his head, using something stable to pick himself up, "Come on Akamaru, now's our chance!" Kiba reached down and pulled Akamaru to his feet, who still managed to hold his Jutsu even through that. "Ready?" Kiba asked.

Akamaru growled and nodded, pulling both arms outward to his side in a Mirror of Kiba. "Gatsuuga!" Their Chakra merged together and expanded each other's attacks, The blast had at lest tripled in power from when Kiba did this on his own. The two lunched blast slammed and drilled into the walls of insects, it sent a good number the locust creatures thrown outward and an even bigger number being ripped apart.

The insects again had to spread themselves out to keep the tornado formations, Neji was easily able to change the winds directions thanks to Kiba's help. And the creatures may not have been effected by the Heavenly Spin itself, but they were highly effected by their owns winds now being manipulated against them. The rest of the insects were blown away, some of them being destroyed.

"Neji!" Kiba called out, at the sound of his voice Neji cut off the Heavenly Spin and nearly fell to the ground upon release. It was unhealthy for him to push himself that far and if he continued at that rate it could have killed him.

Neji walked slowly over to Kiba, still unable to stop using his Bakyugan like those times before. It didn't matter this time, he wanted to see everything around him, especially since the remaining insects were scattered far enough to surround them. Only 25 of them were left so the threat was minimized, the insects seemed to know that too since they were completely still, only staring at Kiba and Neji from where they where.

"What are they doing?" Kiba asked.

"I'm not sure." Neji shrugged "They're leaving...?" He was right, the rest of the demon were pulling back.

"That was close, you alright?" Kiba reached outward an caught Akamaru just as the dof changed back, then placed him back on his head.

"Fine...Looks like I have some research to do...I'm going to need more text." Neji walked past Kiba in to the remaining ruins, the debris that once cluttered the area had either been eaten away then or stripped off. It was easy to see what he was originally looking for now, a box hidden under the floor in the corner of the house under where the bed used to be. "Kiba, do me a favor and go find Sasuke. It will be easier on both of us one of us goes to start the paperwork." He knew for sure Sasuke wanted to do his job well, even if that meant hounding his teammates to get as much information as he could on a demon.

"I don't want to leave you here, what if those things come back?"

"I'll be back at HQ long before then."

"Alright, be careful." Kiba gave him a once over look before disappearing in a rush of wind and speed.

Neji casually went back to what he was doing, kicking away a few scraps over the spot he was looking for. Nothing was different about it, it looked the same as every other spot, a normal person probably would have never found it. Neji knew better though, he pulled a Kunai out of his holder and jammed it into one of the cracks, then preyed that part of the floor open. After that the boards came up easily, 4 were made to be removed revealing a small space about 2 feet deep and 2 feet wide. A few papers rested inside with a plain white box on top, it stood out not because it was on top but because there was a tag on it with his name.

'Must be the gift Gai was talking about...' He didn't particularly care, but curiosity got the better of him...and maybe he did care a little.

He opened the box about the size of his palm, becoming a little confused about it's contents. 'What is this?' A black stone resided inside with a strange marking on it, it was apparent that Lee took great care in packing it side so it couldn't be an ordinary rock. 'Hmm...Or held sentimental value. But why would he want to give it to me if it was important?...He did leave me the safe also... ' He'd look this stone when he got back.

Placing the item into his pocket, Neji picked up the papers that had been under the box. The one on top looked familiar, the title read 'Element Personality test'...Now it he remembered it. Tenten had tried to get him to take this test a while back, it looked like Lee actually followed through.

So just for curiosity he read it over...

1: What's your favorite color?

Green

That was obvious, even Neji knew that much.

2: How would others describe you:

...eccentric?

Yeah, that's not exactly how he'd describe Lee but close enough, maybe unrealistic, optimistic.

3: What's your favorite food:

Rice balls.

Interesting choice, he couldn't mean just that alone.

4: What's your favorite time of day:

Dawn

That explained why he always up so early.

5: When you fail and make a mistake, what do you do next:

Learn from them

6: What's your favorite element?

Water.

7: What was the hardest time in your life:

After my parents died.

8: What did you do the most after the hardest time in your life:

Read and train.

9: Currently have a love interest:

Yes

10: Describe your relationship:

Relaxed

11:What are the 2 most important things to you:

Friends and Love.

That sounded like a Lee answer

12: What drew you to your love interest:

Personality

Final question: What's your lucky number:

4

That's exactly what Neji was looking for, he was sure that 4 was in the combination, knowing Lee it was the first number. Now that he found this bit of information out he really didn't need to keep reading, but he was a little curious to find out the results.

You are an Earth element: Strong willed, unyielding and maybe a little stubborn at times but you'll persistently fight for everything you believe in and follow the desires of your heart no matter the risk.

'Hmm...' Yeah, Lee was defiantly Earth.

"What happen to you?" Naruto immediately saw the cuts and blood in a few places over Gaara's body, their was no way he did this to himself training, it made him nervous.

"Sand Hunter-nins." He said calmly, as if it didn't even happen. "Tried to take me back."

"Guess they didn't take it too well when you said no." Naruto joked, pulling the gourd off of him by it's strap and setting it carefully down on the lobby sofa. "Hold on, I think Kiba bought a first aid kit, it's somewhere around here." Naruto abruptly turned around looked frantically through the room in an orange blur.

Gaara looked at him nervously "Naruto it's not that bad."

Naruto stopped in front of him with a white box in hand, "Lift up your arms." He said, sitting the box down and then lifting Gaara's shirt off. "Alright, sit down."

Gaara looked over Naruto's face, everything from his expression to his body signals breathed happiness. Gaara sighed in annoyment "Your enjoying this aren't you?"

Naruto jumped down on to the couch next to him, rubbing his head and grinning. "Yeah, a little...hold on." Naruto pulled the first aid kit over to him, scrimmaging around inside for something that might be useful for his purpose. "Ahhh, here's something."

He pulled out a large antiseptic pad, opening the packet quite crudely and then dabbing the white cloth across Gaara's blood stained chest. He was surprised to see Gaara didn't even bat an eye for something Naruto knew stung heavily, Gaara on the other hand wasn't advised to pain since he didn't feel much of it often.

"Why are you doing all of this?" Gaara asked, his voice was unquestioning and in it's usual tone which at first made Naruto unsure if he was asking or saying it.

"Why not?" Naruto tossed away the bloody cloth now that he was acutely able to see the wound itself. It wasn't too deep, most of it would be healed by the end of the day if taken care of properly. "I wanna do this." He had to admit he enjoyed doing this type of thing for someone who appreciated it.

"..." Gaara found himself content to sit there and receive this type of treatment, it was a nice change from anything else he was use to, and the fact that Naruto was doing it made it even better. "Naruto..."

"Huh?" Naruto looked up from Gaara's chest and paused his task of bandaging the wound. "What is it?"

"" Just as Gaara was about to say something the door opened and both them glanced over. It was Kakashi returning from seeing a clients and finding potential ones.

"Oh, I always seem to walk in at the wrong times don't I?" Kakashi folded a sheet of paper and placed it into his back pocket. "Just pretend I never showed up."

Naruto snorted "Pervert."

Kakashi was tempted to laugh "Have fun, and there's no sex in the lobby."

Gaara shook his head, their relationship really was humorous in an annoying sort of way.

Sasuke eased himself into the bath tub, he wasn't one for baths but he could make an exception this time. Since he had gotten a bathroom in his room with both doors closed he didn't have to worry about any interruptions, he still like his solitary nature and was reluctant to let go of that. And after being around everyone so much he wasn't adverse to being alone. Why not do it in some warm water that was rather relaxing.

"Sasuke." Of course he could make an expectation.

Konohamaru jumped into the steamy waters with a loud splash and landing directly into Sasuke's lap. Sasuke only shook the water off his face and rested his arms on the edge of the tub, "Huh?"

"What are you doing in here all by yourself?" Konohamaru laid back against Sasuke's chest, letting a few wet strands of hair fall in front of is face. "Aren't you bored?"

"Not really." Sasuke let his head fall back on to the tiled walls and his eyes close.

"Hn..." Konohamaru yawned lightly and moved back a little farther so that he was completely in Sasuke's lap. "I'm kinda tired."...After spending all day setting up and testing out all of the training equipment in the basement, Konohamaru was ready to go to bed early.

Sasuke opened his eyes again glancing down at the boy, it seemed now that he had actually stopped moving he realized how sleepy he was. He was already drifting off, and Sasuke couldn't help but watch, it was still cuter then ever. "Konohamaru..." It reminded him of when Konohamaru received his injury a few months ago, how Konohamaru let so weak afterwords, how he passed out when ever he put to much of a stain on himself.

Konohamaru grew so much in such a short time, the only thing he need to do now was get taller.

A familiar feeling started to descend over Sasuke, his mind more specifically. His eyes started shifted into the Uchiha blood red that happened everytime his Sharingan was activated. Once again that same link Konohamaru and Sasuke had made itself apparent and they felt each other. The Sharingan user had a much more versatile part of the link, this time he saw things he never saw before, he could actually see Konohamaru's thoughts...which were actually the boy's dreams since Konohamaru wasn't conscious.

'Konohamaru...?'

"Sasuke." Konohamaru shifted a little and smiled, he was dreaming about things they could do in the tub right now, it had already given him an erection.

Sasuke tried to ignore the fact that he was seeing what he was sing and focus on the fact that he could actually look through Konohamaru's mind in general. Everything was laid out to him like an open book, though the words were being created as Konohamaru went because he didn't know went he was going to think next, he wasn't in control of his mind right now. It was hard to analyze all of this when what Konohamaru was dreaming about was right in front of his eyes, literally.

'How can I do this?...Damnit why can't I ever think clearly around you?'

It was making him painfully hard, and with the blood flowing away from his head he couldn't help but want to make that dream Konohamaru was dreaming a reality. It was hard to dismiss that thought when Konohamaru was moaning in his sleep and keep rubbing against his member. There was no way he wouldn't do it.

Sasuke reached under the water's surface, rubbing both hands along Konohamaru's chest as they traveled down between his legs. That was a little too real to keep Konohamaru a sleep, bring him close to conciseness though he never quite reached it, Konohamaru drift back down into his dream in the end. And Sasuke could see how Konohamaru's mind changed through all of his stages of awareness, it caused an impish idea to form in his head.

Sasuke held on to the boy's thighs, creasing his skin softly though the warm waters while he lifted him slightly so that his cock was pressing against Konohamaru's entrance. "SaSasuke..." Konohamaru moaned, mirroring the same response in his mind 'Sasuke...' Konohamaru once again started awakening from the dream Sasuke was using as guide line for his own actions.

'Shhhhh...'Sasuke cooed, that seemed to ease Konohamaru's mind and pull him back into a full sleep. Sasuke still had the presence of mind to noting everything that happenedin the back of his head, that was going at the top of the list.

Konohamaru's arched forward and moaned as Sasuke eased him on to his cock and back down in to his lap. He was still easily able to keep him asleep even through that now he figure it out it was a simple matter of speaking things a certain way. Konohamaru followed the words as if they were his own thoughts.

Sasuke drove his cock upward slowly into Konohamaru's tight body, choosing the pace as he did so that he wouldn't hurt him. "Sa-Sasuke." Konohamaru gasped sharply, clinching his eyes tightly when Sasuke gave him a more forceful thrust this time.

Sasuke moved his hand along Konohamaru's leg blindly until he reached the boy's erection, wrapping his fingers around the soapy member and rubbing the head with his thumb. Konohamaru planted his hands along the bottom of the tub with a loud thump, arching up even farther though Sasuke was able to keep him down.

Sasuke leaned forward, pressing his chest against Konohamaru's back and pushing down on his legs. Sasuke's pace increased as Konohamaru loosened, running his hand along the boy's cock and pumping in time with his thrusts.

Konohamaru pushed himself upward with his hands and drove his erection upward in to Sasuke's 'Uh! Sasuke!' Konohamaru's mouth fell open though the only thing that came out was a deep sigh. He arched forward, releasing a stream of cum from his cock in to a thick white cloud in the water. 'Uahhhh!'

Konohamaru fell back limply on to Sasuke's chest with a smile forming on his face from the feel of Sasuke wrapping one of his arms around Konohamaru's waist, letting his other hand rest on Konohamaru's head, fingers slowly messaging through the wet strands now hanging down over his face. "Uhhh..." Konohamaru shifted slightly and opened his eyes.

Konohamaru looked up at Sasuke who had his had tilted back on to the wall and his eyes half lidded "I just had the best dream..." Konohamaru looked down at his cum floating in the water and felt Sasuke's softening cock still inside of him. "Sasuke." Konohamaru smirked and closed his eyes again. "I thought I felt you."

He didn't mean physically.
