Tainted Love

For Kativa-chan (finally ne?)

Bold lyrics

Italics thoughts

Story start:

Sometimes I feel I've got to run away, I've got to get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me…

Naruto shivered on the doorstep of the locked house. He had returned late from a mission, and couldn't get in. he knew that Neji was aware of his presence. The Hyuuga was teasing him. As he always did.

He looked up to see those silver eyes laughing from the dark living room. Uzumaki shivered again, sending pleading, hopeless glances at the window, hoping to be let in, so his wounds would heal better. At least for that.

He heard the door unlatch and quickly shot up and ripped it open, to find a sleepy eyed Neji.

"Naru-chan, I wasn't aware you were home. I didn't even know you were coming home, or I would've left the door unlocked." Neji's dark and malicious whisper sounded like ice.

"Sorry, Hyuuga-sama." Naruto looked down, his form rippling in another chilled whisper. He hated how he had to call Neji, his lover, by his last name and with such a formal honorific.

"It's fine Naru-chan," Neji patted the fox's head and grimaced, wiping the grease and grime off on Naruto. "Let's get you washed, hm?"

"Hai, N—ah, Hyuuga-sama." Neji's eyebrow lifted at him for his slip before the Hyuuga guided the blonde to the bathroom.

The love we share seems to go nowhere. And I've lost my light, for I toss and turn I cant sleep at night…

The bath was already drawn, steam making a fine mist in the small bathroom. Neji closed and locked the door behind him. A small pair of scissors slipping into his hands from the belt of his robe. "Come now Naru-chan, strip. It's bath time." Naruto hated bath time.

But he nodded and took his clothes off and stood still for his "Master's" inspection. There was a disapproved grunt and Naruto winced, the scissors cutting down his bicep, along a wound from the mission. Naruto fought hard to cry out as the blade was extracted.

"Oh my, how'd that get there." Came the very unconcerned whisper as cold hand poked, prodded, and dumped alcohol on the fresh wounds. Naruto winced and then Neji pushed him into the scalding water. "Scrub clean for me, I'll be back in 20 minutes with fresh clothes." Neji smiled softly and left.

Naruto cleaned himself up, scrubbing harshly at his skin. Wanting to be clean completely before Neji came back. As promised, Neji returned moments later with a small bundle and a towel.

"Good boy, Naru-chan, you deserve a treat. Maybe some sleep tonight, ne."

"If Hyuuga-sama wishes it." He was rewarded with a scowl and a backhand across an already bruised cheek.

"I did not give you permission to speak." Naruto nodded meekly and stood from the bath, allowing the other youth to dry him off.

Naruto tried not to wince as Neji harshly wiped the water off of him. The small black t-shirt was forced on, as well as the tight shorts. Neji stood and dusted his hands off.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep, you go to your basket and don't move until I am up and say you can." Neji turned to leave but stopped in the doorway and turned again. The caged bird moved fluidly towards the boxed in fox and held his face in a tight grip, long nails cutting into Naruto's frail flesh.

Don't touch me please; I cannot stand the way you tease. I love you though you hurt me so. Now I'm going to pack my things and go.

"You will listen right?"

"No."

A swift, slashing slap across the face.

"You will listen to me!"

"No I will not."

A kick and a punch to the gut.

"I am your master! You will listen to me or die!"

"Then kill me, Neji-kun. I'm sick of this. Your sick games are going to end now. Your tainted love is beginning to piss me off."

"Naruto, I am the only one who understands you. You need me!"

Neji twisted his hand in the blonde's hair and pulled hid head back in a painful grip. Naruto didn't fight back but didn't give him the satisfaction of his pain.

"Good bye Neji." Naruto whispered as the Hyuuga used his free hand to deal another blow to the kit's gut, forgetting about the scissors. They hadn't left Neji's hand the whole time Naruto bathed.

The blonde slumped against Neji, his breathing laboured. The Hyuuga panicked and ran from the bathroom and called the paramedics. He never looked back at his damaged fox. Never again.

Now I know I've got to, run away I've got to get away… And I've lost my light…

A.N. okay…a depressing piece…i hope it works for Kativa-chan. Sure there's no abusive sex…but hey…this is what I thought fit the song lyrics XD sorry if it isn't great, its late and I'm sick (literally) and tired.

Thanks all for the awesome reviews, oh and to the anonymous reviewer who asked if I was gay, no I'm not, I have full interest in guys (Kk-chan is a girl) just…hot gay anime characters appeal to me.

And in my opinion no matter how hot Sasuke is he's an ungrateful asshole and in every fic I've read where he was straight he was either an ass or a pansy and in the series he's both, so I prefer him gay…the others are bisexual…I swear…
