Chapter 14: Sweet Pea

"In two weeks my nephew will be put to the deathbed for his crimes within our family." He said matter-of-factly.

Tsunade gawked at the Hyuuga lord. "What is your reason."

Hiashi smiled inwardly and prepared himself to speak.

"Neji has..."

---

"He's What? We can't let that bastard kill Neji!" Naruto raised his voice to the Hokage's speech. He couldn't accept the fact one of his closer friends was going to be killed, especially within Konoha's gates and all their Ninja fully aware but unable to do anything. "We have to save him"

"Naruto, you must understand, He has his reasons."

"What are his reasons! WHAT!"

"Naruto calm down. I do not want this either. He is one of the strongest ninja in the village, do you think I want to simply let him go?"

Naruto was silent. "...why?..."

"He has been accused for..."

"What?" Naruto gripped onto the sides of his seat tightly to prevent himself from standing.

Tsunade's face lowered, making her look older. "Neji has raped Hyuuga Hanabi."

"Hanabi? But, But he would never..."

"Well, we have found Hanabi and are checking her. We have no proof as of now, and until we have any Neji cannot d-"

The door swung open to reveal a rattled Shizune. "Tsunade-san I'm sorry, but may I speak with you?"

Tsunade sighed and walked outside her office. Naruto watched the two women leave along with the other ANBU members.

"Neji would never do something so stupid. He's married for god's sake!"

"We know, but if they come positive... well you know"

"NO! Neji is a good guy. He wouldn't rape someone especially in the main branch. He despises them"

"But it does give him good reason to, don't you think?"

"Never! If he wanted to get revenge he wouldn't use his body like that nor do something such as that."

"Hmm..."

"I can't believe you guys! You were all his friends! Why do you doubt him. He's our leader! He..."

"Shut up Naruto!" Shikamaru's voice was stern and frightening.

His eyes widened and he closed his mouth, staying silent until Tsunade returned.

---

"We have made a thorough check of Hanabi-san."

"And? It is false correct."

Shizune's eyes met Tsunade's. She looked worried and it wasn't hard to figure that out. "It is... positive"

Tsunade nodded slightly before lowering her head in gloom.

Flashback

"Neji has... Raped my daughter"

"What!"

"Yes. He has brutally raped her, causing her to bleed internally. Also her chakra levels have dropped lowering her stamina."

"What do you mean by this."

"Neji, while having intercourse with my daughter, used his chakra to damage her inner organs by sending his own chakra into her. He not only took my daughters virginity, but he made it a terrible experience for her, even if she was too young to know what a pleasurable experience really would be" He wrinkled his face in disgust.

"Hiashi, how would you know this."

"I knew my daughter had a crush on Neji for the longest time. That is part of the reason why Neji absolutely had to marry Hinata. I had a servant watch over Hanabi, whenever I wasn't around, to keep her from him. Just a few weeks before I was captured, Hanabi was caught touching Neji." He paused to look at Tsunade's puzzled form. "Also, after I was kidnapped, my servant continued to watch over her and noticed how she acted around him. Her arousal would rise even when she was in the same room as he was."

"That still doesn't prove anything Hiashi."

He glared angrily at Tsunade making her jump slightly. "I would like you to check Hanabi. I am correct."

"...And if you are wrong?"

"Well Neji won't have to die now will he" His voice was sarcastic and started to piss Tsunade off.

"Thank you for this meeting Hiashi."

"Yes, It was a pleasure." He stood and left

Tsunade swore loudly. She had hoped it wasn't true. But she still couldn't believe it. He wouldn't do something like that. Not the cold but kind Neji. Not the pokerfaced, emotionless, ANBU member she knew. Not Neji, not ever.

She turned and walked back into her office.

She didn't notice when a small chuckle emitted in the air as she walked back. "Hiashi, you're brilliant."

---

Neji stepped out of the shower feeling much refreshed. He quickly draped a towel around his waist and grabbed another, leaning forward so his hair hung over his face, and began to rub his hair dry; at the same time walking into his bedroom.

A small giggle tangled with the loud sound of wind blowing against the window, nearly unable to be heard, but since it was Neji, he heard it and raised his head.

Hinata lay on the bed and seemed to be staring at the ceiling. Her eyes shifted to Neji as he stared blankly at her, his hair draping freely over his shoulders, a few strands cuddling his cheeks. She giggled again and smiled, earning a cocked eyebrow from Neji.

He walked over the bed and sat at the edge, his face still emotionless except for the cocked eyebrow. "What?"

Hinata sat up and leaned forward, placing her weight upon her knees. She leaned in and kissed him heartily. Neji's eyes widened slightly, his mind in wonder. It startled him even more when she hungrily licked his lips for entrance. Once granted she thrust her tongue in, exploring every crevice of his mouth. Neji's arm blindly wrapped around Hinata's waist, and Hinata moaned greedily.

Several minutes passed before the two pulled away gasping for air. Neji looked at a now snickering Hinata and jumped back.

---

Hanabi's eyes fluttered open. She looked around and noticed she was in a hospital bed. She scowled and forced herself up into a sitting position.

"You shouldn't push yourself when your like this."

Hanabi's eyes widened and she turned over towards the familiar voice.

"You. What are you doing here?"

"I have some questions for you, Hyuuga Hanabi-san"

"Huh?" Her face looked puzzled.

"What happened between you and Neji?"

"Nii-san?" Her eyes widened to a further extent. "What happened to Nii-san?"

"Nothing. Now answer my question."

Hanabi seemed to be thinking deeply. Finally she came to and stared the kyuubi in the eyes. "I-I..."

---

Hinata woke up blindfolded. Her hands were tied behind her back and her chakra had been put to a halt. She felt numb and unable to move. It was dark and the ground was damp. Her back was bare and she could feel the cold, wet concrete against her tender skin.

Suddenly she felt a hand grasp her waist and lift her up, and another hand pull at the blindfold upon her face, throwing it off. She couldn't see anything for it was nothing but pitch black and couldn't make out the figure.

A soft chuckle followed by the hot heat of another's breath could be felt upon Hinata's ear. She shivered as the hand rose to her upper back and threw her over the muscular shoulder, crushing her bare chest on the large blades protruding from the back.

"W-W-Where am I?"

"In due time, in due time."

Hinata recognized the voice and gasped, half startled with joy half with fear.

---

Carmine met Lavender. Spiteful smirks met shocked scowls. Black clashed with brown. The figure Neji knew as Hinata was now gone and replaced with a skimpy femme fatale. She was armed with a foreign weapon, something resembling a staff, also known as a bokken. Neji cocked an eyebrow trying to figure out what this woman would do with a wooden training sword.

"Can't figure it out can you, Neji-nushi." She banged her bokken on Neji's bare toe causing him to flinch slightly. The bokken began to crack and turned into five large pieces of wood, each falling to the ground revealing six chakra-bound black talons.

"Foreign knifes?"

"Correct. I am here to exterminate you Neji-nushi." She was nearly as tall as Neji and so didn't have to stand on her toes to reach his ear. "You've been a very bad man, Nushi-san, and Uncle Hiashi isn't happy with it." She giggled and before Neji could blink, she raised one of the knives to his neck.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Hiashi's faithful servant. He hired me to watch what happens between you and Hanabi-touji. I saw everything you did to her. Heh..."

"... Oh really?" Neji disappeared leaving the girl confused and surprised.

---

Hinata struggled the whole time they moved through the darkness. The figure carrying her didn't mind though and actually was chuckling on occasion. Finally they came to a stop outside in a part of the forest. The figure dropped her and put her down. Staring right into her eyes, his eager face could be seen against the fresh moonlight.

"W-W-Why did you b-bring me here?"

"Hinata. I have made some decisions. I don't know if you are aware, but Neji is going to die."

"What? W-Why?"

"Heh... He has done some things, unworthy of your fragile ears."

"Pl-Please tell me"

"Cute. I'm sorry, but as heir to the clan you must accept this and..."

"Please! What did Nii-san do?"

"Heh. Do you wish for Neji to die?"

"Never!"

"Good, then you won't mind coming to a compromise."

"What?"

"In due time." He took a step towards her, a grim smile on his face.

---

Neji sprinted through the night wind, feeling the cool breeze through his damp hair. Slowly he approached a figure coming his way. He slowed to a stop and his eyes met contact with Tsunade's cold stare.

"Tsunade-sama. Why are you out at this time of night."

"Neji. We need to talk."

Neji stared blankly at Tsunade. "About?"

"Please follow me."

He paced himself a few feet behind Tsunade as they made their way to the Konoha monument.

They entered the office, and Neji was directed to a seat.

"Neji. I have been informed of some unpleasant accusations."

Neji's eyes widened. He knew what she was going to say. Damn Hiashi. "I will accept my punishment."

"What? Are you aware that the punishment is death."

Neji closed his eyes for a moment. He took a deep breath before talking. "Yes. I will accept."

"No! Neji you can't. I can help y-"

"I'm sorry for this but I can't accept your help. I did do as I am accused."

"You mean?"

"Yes."

"No. You wouldn't"

Neji opened his eyes and stared intently into Tsunade's eyes. She was fighting the fact that he would do something such as he did. He smirked inwardly.

"I had no choice. I did as I had."

"But, Neji..."

"Tsunade-san. I raped Hanabi."

She opened her mouth and gawked. Neji's emotions were unmoved yet sincere. She couldn't believe it.

"Why'd you do it." She choked on her own saliva as she said this.

"...To save one I love... now if you'll excuse me, I have somewhere to be." And with that Neji disappeared from Tsunade's office, leaving her gawking at the spot he once was.

"Neji..."

---

Dark clouds covered the sky. An icy breeze swept through the air. Thin white specks sparkled down from the heavens. A lone flake landed upon a pale cheek.

Hinata was pushed up against the rough bark of the tree, scraping her bare skin. With a swift move her hands were thrown over head and a rope tied them together. Fright glazed Hinata's eyes.

"Let's see how far you'll go for Neji's life." And thus began the beginning of a nightmare called H.E.L.L.

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

Hey, everyone. Did you like this chapter? Well I hope you did because, I have decided to end it here. If you hadn't noticed it now says 'Complete' and I mean it by that. Actually, I am just going to finish it here because I found it a good place to stop, atleast with the first arc. I will make a new arc that contains more about Neji's future and His love or hate for Hinata. I really hope you enjoyed my story, and for my next arc I would like to try to find a beta (Though I really have no idea how the beta thing works) so there aren't any silly mistakes that I was too lazy to read and fix. Please let me know if you would like to be a beta for me and/or can help with my next arc's plot.

Anyway. I do really hope you liked it and in the near future (Really, Really soon) I will put out my next arc of this story look for it ok? Please review and I'm sorry this last chapter was so short. S.Y.S
