Chap 12: Gladiolus

Hinata boldly leaned in grasping Neji's lips for hers. Her tongue hesitantly licked upon his lower lip asking for entrance. Once granted she roamed his masculine mouth with her feminine tongue. Battling a friendly battle their tongues launched deeper within each others throats. Hinata loved his taste. It was so warm and blissful, unlike what his normally cold and hateful face showed the world. Her hand whisked into his hair twiddling it between her fingers. Neji's hand caressed the nape of her neck sending piercing eager through Hinata's mind. His hand gradually lowered towards the small of her back. She shivered with excitement and placed her hands onto his chest. He sat up and she wrapped her legs around his lower half. They leaned in for what they thought was to be the best night of their lives...

...And it all started with a ...

---

Hanabi paced herself at a calm jog. She whistled to herself as she made her way towards her sister's apartment.

"Where are you going... my daughter?

Hanabi froze in her tracks.

"Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital?"

"Hmm... I'm the leader of the Hyuuga clan... I can't be cooped up in there."

Hanabi glared. "Well then, I will see you at the manor father." She took a step forward but froze again when wet breath met her ear.

"I know what happened between you and the branch member..."

"Huh?"

"Don't play dumb."

"How could you know anything about what happened between me and him?"

"I have my ways."

She sent a stern glare and turned away from her father.

"Good..."

She disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving her father bewildered.

---

The room was over a hundred degree's. Sparks flew within two minds. Life and that was meant of it drifted from their minds as kisses trailed down two bodies. Twins kept deep within the depths of their thoughts released and double personalities surfaced. A muscular hand grasped on the small cloth over the small form and threw it off to the crystal polished floorboards.

"Nii-san..." A breath escaped her pink lips. "I-I..." Neji's mouth lifted from the crevices between her breasts. His eyes wandered into hers and stared blankly.

RIIINNNGGG!

RIIINNGGG!

RIIINNNGGGG!

The neon light flashed with anger. Filling the room off and on with brightness. Paled faces sat up eagerly and dressed. With a sigh, Neji left. Hinata followed shortly after. Arriving at the hokage's office Neji gathered around with the other shinobi in the room. The brass metal rang loudly in their ears as they awaited the hokages presence.

"War is here!" Tsunade ran into the room with Shizune training closely behind. "I want all of my ANBU to guard the gates. My jonin along the outskirts of the village. Do not let them enter at any cost. Chuunin and Genin! I want you to guard the inner layer of the village, careful to not conflict any disturbances with the townspeople. Sakura! Ino! Hinata! I want you three to gather the townspeople to the village hideout and see they are unharmed. Then when completed Hinata and Sakura will return to me to help in the hospital. Ino you will protect the townspeople by any means even it takes your life! GO NOW!"

The room filled with whiffs of smoke and the whole ninja in Konoha left. Tsunade raked a trembling hand through her hair. "Damn that Orochimaru!" Her fists pounded into her desk shredding it to a pile of dust.

--Meanwhile—

Hanabi stood on the outskirts of the village. Her face was withered and pale. It had been several hours and not a single disturbance. She wondered how the others were and whether they were as baffled as she was. She took a step back scanning the area. A scaled hand placed on her shoulder. She flung herself around and grasped the hand.

"Hello, Hanabi, Long time no see." A silhouette of a man stood there. She could see the sparking of glass flashing off the moonlight through the dark figures robes.

Chakra flew. Hanabi fell weak to the floor. Her left arm was limp and unable to move. She still forced herself to her feet. A gurgle of laughter escaped the hooded figures mouth before running to fully paralyze the young jonin.

"Just give up. We will always have a place for you. You can even take that man with you and we can use him as an experiment object."

"Shut up! Don't involve him! You Bastard!" Hanabi's eyes were as iced over as an icicle. Her skin was bubbling with anger and you could feel the tension rising.

"Ha! What are you going to do? Give up on him and come join me. I bet I'm a better lover than he is."

"SHUT UP!" The ice shattered and Hanabi stormed at him. Catching him by surprise, she made herself able to knee him in his thorax. He let out a huff of breath and grasped her leg. He picked her up and swung her leg around his shoulder. She became restless and her hand flung at his face. He caught it with ease and pinned it behind her back. He leaned forward and licked the girl's cheek. His tongue was cold and bitter unlike Neji's. Hanabi shuddered.

"L-Let go of me!"

"I'll prove to you who is the better lover before I kill you. And maybe if you plea and call out my name in ecstasy I'll think of forgiving you and allowing you to join me and the rest of the sound country." He laughed and placed his free hand onto her well developed breasts.

"I-I will never love you...Kabuto!" Hanabi felt her head grow heavy and her mind light. Her head flew back uncontrollably as her clothes tore off of her.

"We'll see about that..."

---

"Neji! Behind you!"

Neji spun around and immediately killed the enemy with ease. As the last of the weak shinobi fell down to the ground Neji grunted and crossed his arms in annoyance.

"Orochimaru is simply toying with us."

"Yeah! What the hell is up with these fools?"

"Shikamaru..."

"-sigh- So troublesome... If he is toying with us at the gates, knowing the strongest will be protecting the gates, He is going to find an alternate route. A route easily convincible and able to penetrate. He is going for..." Shikamaru grew quiet. He eyed Neji before continuing. "He was a member of Konoha at a time. He knows are hiding spots our weaknesses. He knows..."

BOOM

A blinding red light shattered the ground. The disturbed earth crumbled inward into itself, pulling in anything in its way. Crimson dripped into the tunneling ground disappearing with the grains of sand traveling into hells path in the depths of earth. The tree was sinking into the suck of the ground making it bigger spread.

"So this was his plan...We need to find a way to stop this before it made it to the gates!"

"Are you even ok?"

"I'm fine. Let's go."

They jumped down onto the sinking ground and used their chakra to keep them stable.

"Bend down and use as much of your chakra as possible without taking yourself to the brinks of exhaustion. We will repair the damage using chakra"

---

Hanabi squinted her eyes together, thus pleasing the eager Kabuto. His hot kisses fell freely along her body. Oddly she didn't tremble at his invasion of her personal space or really do anything at all. He threw the thought away as he finally was receiving his wish he had wanted for a while. Still fully clothed he readied himself for his entrance into her body. Placing himself into position he thrust into her. His eyes widened.

"Wha-... What?"

"HA! It's not fun to lose to your own game is it?"

"What did you do?"

"I used my chakra to make a shield around my vagina that when you entered me your chakra would be sucked away and your internal organs destroyed slow and painfully. I don't exactly know where I learned this but I have a feeling you are defeated. Hehe."

"...Heh... You're good..." Kabuto's eyes shut and the bitter solemnity of death ran through his paled body.

Hanabi stared at her work. She frowned and began to whimper. She had never really killed someone and it didn't feel good. She began to run and didn't stop.

---

"Hey! Stop! Don't come any closer! Stop!" Naruto yelled at the shadowed figure approaching blindly, but even with his warnings the figure kept coming. "Don't!"

Hanabi's form fell into the deep depths of the sand. The ANBU males stood there shocked. Finally Naruto shifted.

"Don't Naruto!"

Naruto stopped; his foot began to sink with the sinking earth. "What? And let a shinobi die in front of my eyes. Not an option."

"..."

Naruto took a step.

"Be careful. Here." A rope was thrown at Naruto. He grabbed it and tied it around his waist. He smiled his signature grin and jumped down into the earth after the girl.

Moments passed.

Silent moments passed.

The men were becoming restless.

"Let's pull him up."

"No, let him do it."

A powerful tug came from the rope, startling the men and nearly causing them to release the rope.

"PULL"

The ANBU members pulled fairly easily. Slowly Naruto came back to the surface a small body in his right arm. He smiled and they all sighed with relief.

"Piece of cake. Or pie. Or whatever they say."

"Shut up..."

"Naruto take her to the hospital, we will cover you're ground wile you're gone."

Naruto pouted but nodded and left.

Neji peered around noticing the guys were sighing with relief.

"Men, don't get sappy now, the war isn't over yet."

All of them stared at Neji and frowned, but obeyed and got back into their positions.

---

"What?"

"She is hurt it seems."

"...T-Thank you... I'll take her from here."

Naruto smiled at the violet eyed nurse and ran out. He didn't see her smirk when he turned his back.

"Come, come Hanabi-san, or should I say, Hyuuga-san..." The nurse let out a gingerly chuckle and licked her lips with her pointed tongue and walked up the hospital stairs.

"Now, to wait."

---

Neji was beginning to become impatient. They had been there all night and there had been no other disturbances. No sign of anymore attacks were set and that left the village ninja restless.

"Ay, come on! Couldn't Orochimaru and his people just attack already! I mean if they plan on defeating us by boring us to death, then they're winning." A man groaned from behind a wolf-like mask.

"Shut up Kiba and keep you're ground. Tsunade hasn't sent word of our let down so keep you're guard up!" A man with a mask that looked like a wasp.

"Feh..."

"It's going to be a long night..."

---

"Hinata! We need you here quick!"

Hinata ran into the room. It was dark and humid. She stopped and looked around for a light switch.

SLAM

Hinata spun around. The door had slammed shut. An icy chill ran down her spine and she turned back. "W-Who i-is t-t-there..."

A loud chuckle was heard and a candle flickered in the corner. Hinata bit her lip and took a step back. A scaly hand grasped her shoulder and before she turn her gaze something moist wrapped around her throat, choking her.

Hinata felt lightheaded. Her hands naturally reached up to her throat and attempted to pull away the slimy hold on her.

"I hear you have something of mine hostage here?"

"W-W-What..." Hinata managed to croak out.

"Let's see if capturing his wife will lead him here. Or better yet, let's go meet him..."

Hinata's head was spinning but she managed to speak. "Who a-are you t-t-talking about?

"Foolish girl. Just like you're sister. Aw well since your village stole something of mine I bet they won't mind me taking something in exchange. Come, to your place... HA, HA..."

In a puff of smoke they were gone.

---

"Well, I don't know what to do. I have information that Orochimaru's number one minion Kabuto was found dead near the northwest side of the village outskirts, but we don't know how because there was no one around."

"And this means."

"It seems they're forces have backed down for the time being. I strongly advise you to go home and sleep. I may call you back to the battlefield at any waking moment."

"Hai."

A white cloud swept through her room as several shinobi left the hokage's office in smoke.

"Huh... what is that Orochimaru planning?"

---

Neji unlocked the door to his apartment. He was angered that nothing happened and that they were simply being toyed with. When he walked in it was dark and lifeless so he assumed Hinata was still at the hospital.

He turned on the living room light and scowled.

"Who are you?"
