When Neji regained consciousness, he was surprised to find himself lying upright on a rather bumpy wooden table. He groaned. 'Man, I've got a splitting headache!' he thought.
He attempted to raise his hands to massage his aching temples but to no avail. His arms were restrained! That's when he noticed the elaborate web of string holding everything from his neck down in place. Someone even took great care in securing his fingers against the table as well. He struggled against his bonds, but the damned threads kept getting tighter and tighter!
Who did this? What the hell was going on? When did this all happen? Where was he, anyway? And why did he hurt EVERYWHERE?
He looked up and saw a dim light bulb hanging from the ceiling. Aside from that, the whole room was suspiciously dark. He felt like he was in an interrogation room of sorts… He scowled. He'd make sure the person, or persons, responsible for this would pay dearly.
He craned his neck and saw that half of his body was covered in bruises and bandages. But that wasn't the worse of it. His lower extremities were covered by what appeared to be a large diaper made out of plaster!
He began to sweat nervously as he began to remember what happened back at Hinata's room- he had eaten her candy and in retribution she delivered a severe kick to his hoo-hahs. Right before he blacked out. Oh God, if Hinata could do that to him, what else did she have planned?
He whimpered. Yes, the Hyuuga Prodigy was WHIMPERING! "Oh, Jesus… this is bad. This is SO bad!" he said, while shaking his head in disbelief. Was there anything left in his pants? He couldn't exactly sense their presence…
"It IS bad, isn't it, Nii-kun? Poor, poor Neji nii-kun," Black Hinata purred as she blew the residue from her newly filed nails.
He froze as he raised his eyes and saw his cousin sitting prettily in a chair 10 feet away from him with her legs crossed. Her midnight blue tresses, which she had been growing out to reach her mid-back, had been cut in a messy, choppy bob just above her shoulders. She had long since changed out of her training clothes and into a form-fitting black leather jumpsuit and black stiletto boots. The material looked like it was poured onto her body.
Black Hinata knew she looked hot. She had no idea why she had a closet full of oversized fur-trimmed anoraks and black capris. They made her look too... conservative (in other words frumpy)! She uncrossed her legs, opting to cross them in the opposite direction. She nearly gagged as her cousin's eyes roamed over her entire body. Boys and their hormones. Go figure.
Neji's mouth went dry. 'This is what Hinata was hiding underneath that jacket of hers? What a figure!' Then he winced as his body began to naturally react to seeing a curvaceous woman in tight clothing. 'Oh God, I'm attracted to Hinata all of a sudden? It's the leather… it's got to be the leather… and that chest! Oh shit...'
As blood began to fill in that area, Neji realized the painful predicament he was in. His Little Neji hurt 10,000 times worse than before, and not only that, but well, it really had no room to move since it was straining agonizingly against the mortar container it was in…
Neji closed his eyes. 'Don't look at Hinata, don't look at Hinata…' he chanted in his head. 'Think ugly, think ugly… Gai-sensei! His haircut! His green bodysuit! His smile! His eyebrows! His creepy voice!' He sighed in relief. He would keep his thoughts focused on Gai-sensei until this was all over.
Whatever this was. And whenever this ended. Thinking of Gai-sensei was starting to give him the chills.
Black Hinata watched her cousin with mild interest. First, it seemed like he had found her alluring. And somehow, he had managed to successfully divert his attention onto something else, but what?
"Nii-kun, penny for your thoughts?" she asked cutely. She tossed the nail file to the side as she got up from her chair and walked towards her cousin, rubbing her hands against his chest in circles. He hated to admit it felt very nice. Neji held his breath and opened his eyes just a fraction. Black Hinata was pouting and batting her eyelashes playfully. A small stream of blood found its way out of his nose.
"Oh GOD! Yamero, Hinata-sama..." he said under his breath before sniffling the blood back up his nostrils. "C'mon, think of Gai-sensei… Don't look at Hinata… YAMERO, HINATA-SAMA, MATTE KUDOSAI…" he begged helplessly, tears pooling in his eyes. (His groin hurt like hell, damn it!)
Black Hinata cackled into the back of her hand. Watching Neji cry was too much, but not enough. "Ohohohoho! Henge no Jutsu!" she cried happily.
When the smoke cleared, Neji reopened his eyes and began to convulse madly against his restraints.
"Nii-kun, please! You don't like this?' she asked, while placing small kisses on his face. She tried hard not to flinch in disgust as she did this. This was her cousin, for goodness sakes! "I thought this was something you wanted! Don't you think I'm pretty?" She smiled brightly at Neji.
"NOOOOOO! DON'T TOUCH ME! LEAVE ME ALONE!" he screamed, as his mouth began to foam. Small lacerations began to appear all over his body as he continued to move against his restraints. He even tried to bite his own tongue off! He was that desperate to get out of this situation!
'Oh geez,' thought Black Hinata. 'If he keeps that up, he's going to tear himself to pieces… Well, there goes my fun…' She thwacked him hard upside the head, cut off his restraints, hoisted her comatose cousin onto her shoulders, and poofed them into his bedroom. She unceremoniously dumped him into his bed and walked towards the door.
On her way out, she noticed his vanity mirror. (Yes, Neji has a vanity mirror, as well as a large assortment of expensive hair care products from Kerastase and one Mason Pearson brush.) She took a peek. "Ew, gross!" she said to no one in particular. And just to test the theory running through her mind, she smiled into the mirror and was nearly blinded by the whiteness of her (his) teeth.
"MY EYES! Dang, Gai overdoes it with the Crest Whitestrips!" she said, rubbing her milky white orbs furiously. When she blinked them back open, she laughed contentedly at the goofy looking face staring back at her (Gai does have a funny face...) She made a few more mooky Gai faces and poses in the mirror before she un-Henge'd her jutsu and walked back toward the Main House to make some wicked arrangements for her beloved baby sister.
