First Mate First Love

Chapter 11: Pain and Pleasure

I hope you enjoy this chapter. Thanks for reading. I would love to hear what you think.


Tenten ran to her teammate's side, when she touched him he hit three of her chakra points. Which caused her lose all motion in her arm. She was in such shock. Neji's palm came rushing toward. Kakashi shoved her out the way just in time.

"Tenten, stay away from him", said Kakashi.

"What's wrong with him?!" asked Tenten.

"Get Tsunade", said Kakashi.

Kakashi's eyes widened when he saw the changes in Neji's body. His canines lengthened and his fingernails were claw-like. The smell of blood hit Kakashi's nose. It was running down from between Neji's legs. Neji went into the Inuzuka four-legged stance. The amount of imitating from him was immense. This could become very dangerous. Tenten came rushing back with Tsunade following behind her.

Tsunade had never seen anything like this before. His condition both strengthen and weakened him. Neji's heart was racing and sweat covered his skin. It was obvious he was in a great deal of pain.

When she stepped, closer Neji charged at her. He disappeared right before her eyes. She gasped when Neji jabbed her with his gentle fist. He'd badly damaged her liver with that single blow. She healed her injuries. Tsunade glared Neji. He was snarling at them. This will be difficult. He's powerful, has a large surplus of chakra, and is unbelievably fast. Kakashi sealed the entrance.

"What's the plan?" he asked.

"Somehow knocking him out with a powerful tranquilizer without causing further damage", said Tsunade.

Neji snarled when he saw the large needle in Tsunade. He attacked again. By some miracle managed to dodge. Neji's attack shattered Kakashi's desk into thousands of pieces.

"Easier said than done", said Tenten.

"We can try a more aggressive approach would be better", said Tsunade.

"My attacks are useless against him", said Tenten.

"I have an idea", said Kakashi.

"Well, what are you waiting for!" growled Tsunade.

"Transform",

There was a puff of smoke. In Kakashi stood Kiba. Hopefully, this will work.

"Neji, look at me", said Kakashi.

Neji at stared at him. He released his byakugan and timidly approached. When he realized it wasn't his mate it was too late, Tsunade jabbed him a large needle. He took a few unsteady steps, before collapsing. As they came closer he started growling.

"How is he awake? There was enough tranquilizer in that to knock out an elephant. We have to get him to the hospital fast. Tenten with me. Kakashi can you handle Kiba?" asked Tsunade.

Neji whined as his body gave into the drug. He wanted his alpha. His vision went dark.

"Yes", said Kakashi.

"He's out let's move", said Tsunade.

Kiba shot up from his chair nearly knocking over the table in the process.

"Kiba, what are you doing?" asked Shino.

Something was very wrong. Neji's mental walls had come crashing down. Kiba was hit full force by both his mate's physical and emotional pain. It took his breath away. He ran out of the restaurant.

"I'm coming, Neji", said Kiba.

He crashed into the Hokage's office with Akamaru following after him. Neji's scent was strong here, but he wasn't there. Kiba tensed when he saw the blood on the floor. It belonged to Neji. He growled.

"WHERE IS HE?!" he snarled.

"Kiba",

He turned to face Kakashi.

"I need you to calm down before I tell you where he is", said Kakashi.

Kiba forced down his anger. Then notice all the damage. There were claw marks on the floor and walls. He had to for the sake of his mate.

"Neji is safe. He was taken to the hospital", said Kakashi.

Kiba ran out the door toward the hospital.

"Don't worry I'm coming, Neji", said Kiba.

Neji woke and found himself in a different room. He was surrounded by medical ninjas.

"Be very careful", said Tsunade.

He skidded into the waiting room. A howl broke the peace. That was Neji's most powerful distress call. He charged in its direction. Two medical ninjas stopped him. He knew his mate was in there. Neji was calling for him. His instincts to protect his mate were driving him insane. The doors of the room smashed opened as a medical ninja was sent flying through them. His mate was out of view.

"LET ME SEE HIM!" screamed Kiba more ninja tried to restrain him.

His heart nearly broke, when he heard Neji howled for him again. This cry was more desperate. The sound hurt Kiba's aching heart.

"You don't know what's wrong with him. Let me see him", begged Kiba.

"Let him in. Everyone else out!" ordered Tsunade inside.

Kiba rushed inside. He tensed when he saw the massive change that had taken place in his mate. Neji was in the four-legged stance that Inuzuka Clan was known for. His fingernails and canines lengthened and sharpened. A powerful aura of chakra was emitting from him. Neji's Byakugan was activated and was even further enhanced by the new powers he'd inherited from his union with Kiba.

Neji could have killed those medical ninjas if he wanted. Kiba knew that wasn't what his mate was aiming for. He was scared and hurting. Right now he'd completely transitioned into his submissive beast form. Neji was following the rule of flight or fight. Fighting was the last thing he should be doing. Neji looked feverish and sickly.

"Neji",

He perked up when he heard his alpha's voice. Neji cautiously approached. He had to make sure this was his alpha and not another trick.

"It's me. You know my scent", said Kiba.

He started whimpering as Kiba came closer.

"Shh, it's okay. I'm not upset with you. Now come here", said Kiba.

He whined loudly it hurt too much to move. Kiba carefully approached his mate. As soon as he was close enough Neji wrapped his arms around Kiba's neck. He nuzzled closely to his alpha's neck and breathed in his scent. His alpha's here he's safe. No one will hurt him now. He gently licked and nipped at his mate's chin.

"It's safe. I'm here", said Kiba.

He picked up his mate. Kiba sat them down on the examination table.

"Tell me what's wrong with him", said Tsunade.

"His body is changing so he'll be able to have children", said Kiba.

"What does he need?" asked Tsunade.

"A powerful painkiller", said Kiba.

Tsunade filled a syringe. Neji started panicking when she approached.

"You need to calm him down or I might jab you with the needle", said Tsunade.

He took out Neji's hair tie. Kiba started massaging his mate's scalp. Neji relaxed in his alpha's arms but kept a wary eye on Tsunade.

"Let me take care of you", whispered Kiba in Neji's ear.

Neji's breathing relaxed and soon he fell unconscious. Tsunade felt like she imposed on an extremely intimate moment. She took Neji's arm and injected him with the painkiller.

"How long will he be in this condition?" asked Tsunade.

"Forty-eight hours. Me being close will help speed up the process", said Kiba.

He hated that his mate would be in pain for so long.

"What do you mean by close?" asked Tsunade.

Kiba's face went red. She smirked.

"Make sure he's willing", said Tsunade.

Kiba sent a dangerous glare in her direction.

"I will keep my promise to him", said Kiba.

"Lay him on the table. I want to examine him", said Tsunade.

Kiba placed his mate on the table. Tsunade opened Neji's shirt. She peered into Neji's body. She saw the slow forming of what looked to be a womb and a birthing canal. That must have caused the bleeding. As she searched her patient's body she saw no damage. She noticed Kiba staring at Neji's scars. He caressed Neji's cheek.

"It's a miracle he survived", said Tsunade.

"You don't have to tell me. If he died then I would have followed", said Kiba.

"You weren't even mates then", said Tsunade.

"We always have a general feeling of who our mates are", said Kiba.

"I think it would be better for you to take him home", said Tsunade.

Tsunade filled two bottles with pills. One was a painkiller the other was a sedative. Kiba closed Neji's shirt.

"Kiba",

"Yes",

"Give him these orange and blues every four hours. Give him no more than two in that time span. If he really needs it you can knock him out with the sedative. Do you have any questions?" asked Tsunade.

"Can you get him a fresh pair of pants?" asked Kiba.

Blood soaked through Neji's pants. The bleeding stopped, but the stain was very noticeable. She nodded her head and left the room. A few minutes later she came back with a pair of scrub pants. Kiba put them on his mate. He carefully picked up Neji.

"Kiba",

He groaned he just wanted to take his mate home.

"Make sure he takes in fluid", said Tsunade.

"I will now can I please take him home", said Kiba.

She nodded her head. Kiba took Neji in his arm. He ran out of the hospital. At the entrance, Tsume and Hana were waiting for him.

"How is he?" asked Tsume.

"He's going through the change. I can tend to him", said Kiba.

They went home. Kiba carefully placed Neji in bed. He started undressing his mate. Kiba managed to suppress a lust full groan when he took off Neji's boxers. He pulled the blankets over his unconscious mate. He took off Neji's forehead protector and placed a cool cloth in its place. Kiba pulled a chair close to the bed and waited for his mate to wake. Akamaru rested his head on his lap and Shine was at his side.

"He's going to be fine", said Kiba.

Akamaru whined. He knew Kiba was scared. There was a knock on the door.

"Hey, Kiba",

It was Hana. He gave her a weak smile.

"How's he doing?" asked Hana.

"Good I think", said Kiba.

"He needs to take in fluids", said Hana.

She put an IV in Neji's arm.

"He'll be fine Kiba. Don't look so worried", said Hana.

"It's impossible for me not to look worried", said Kiba.

"It would have happened eventually. There's no reason to look so nervous. It all part of the process", said

Hana left her brother in peace. It grew late. He heard a quiet moan.

"Neji?"

He heard someone calling his name. His eyes slowly opened and he saw Kiba nervously staring down at him. The cramping in his abdomen calmed enough for him to sit up.

"Easy", said Kiba.

Neji head was aching and his jaw was sore. He nearly blushed, when he realized he was naked under the covers.

"What happened?" asked Neji.

"How long have you been in pain?" asked Kiba.

"The cramping start during my mission. I don't know what caused it", said Neji.

"Your body is changing so you'll be able to have children", said Kiba.

To Kiba's surprise, Neji was calm.

"That doesn't answer my question. I remember coming back and collapsing on the floor of the Hokage's office. Tell me what happened", said Neji.

"You were in pain and scared. Your body's submissive instincts took over", said Kiba.

Neji scowled.

"So I cowered ", spat Neji.

"Actually it was the opposite. It took Kakashi, Tsunade, and Tenten to safely take you to the hospital. Just because you're the submissive in our pair doesn't mean you're weak. The beastly power that lies within you will only submit to me. Even Tsunade couldn't touch you", said Kiba.

Neji gave a weak smile.

"Then why does it feel like I was punched in the jaw", said Neji as he rubbed his jaw.

Kiba got up and came out with a small mirror in his hand. He handed it to Neji. His eyes went wide when he saw his canines had sharpened.

"Your teeth will stay that way, but I think you pull it off well. Your nails will back normal soon enough", said Kiba.

Something wonderful hit his nose. It was coming off of Kiba.

"Are there any other changes I should be aware of?" asked Neji.

"Your senses will be keener. Almost as good as mine. That will be a permanent change. After a few weeks you'll adjust to it", said Kiba.

The pain hit again. He keeled over in pain.

"Neji",

He started whimpering loudly. Kiba panicked. He took out the pills Tsunade gave him. Kiba tried getting his mate to take one, but Neji's jaw was locked in pain.

"Open your mouth", said Kiba as he pressed the pill against Neji's lips.

The whimpers Neji was making were driving Kiba insane. He knew how to help his mate through the pain, but he needed Neji's permission. Kiba gave up on trying to get Neji to take the pill.

"Neji, look at me", said Kiba.

He looked into Kiba's eyes.

"I can make the pain go away. I only need you to give me permission", said Kiba.

"Please", begged Neji.

Kiba started undressing. Akamaru and Shine were staring at him.

"This isn't a peep show get out!" growled Kiba.

The two dogs rushed out. He closed the door behind them. Kiba was only in his boxers. Neji was curled up on his side whimpering. His mate tensed when he joined him under the blanket. Kiba wrapped his arms around his mate.

"What are you doing?" asked Neji.

"This will speed up the process and take the pain away. If you tell me to stop I will", said Kiba.

Neji nodded his head. Kiba ran his tongue over his mark, which caused his mate to shutter in pleasure. Kiba loved the response and wanted to get more out of his mate. He dragged his sharpened teeth over his husband's pale over sensitized neck. Neji moaned and arched beautifully in his arms, pressing his butt against Kiba's groin.

Kiba moaned loudly at the simple friction of the action. One of his hands toyed with Neji's nipple the other travel lower to his mate's needy cock. Neji gasped. Kiba threw his leg over his husband's to keep in place. He started rocking his arousal against his mate. Neji bucked into Kiba's hand. He was in a haze wonder lust. They were both close. Then it came. Kiba bit Neji's neck. He watched as his mate come beautifully in his hand. Kiba licked Neji's seed from his hand. When he tried kissing his mate, he turned away. Fear went through Kiba's veins. In his lust had he ignored his mate's plea for him to stop?

"You didn't force me", said Neji.

"Why won't you let me love you?" asked Kiba.

Neji turned away, so he didn't have to meet those eyes.

"I don't know", he said.

"You won't regret it", said Kiba.

"I know", said Neji.

"Why won't you let me?" asked Kiba.

"I already told you", said Neji.

Kiba woke before his mate. That silky dark brown hair was spread across the pillows. His breathing was soft and calm. So cute. He carefully brushed away a strand of Neji hair that blocked his view of his mate's face. It was obvious Neji wouldn't be up for hours. He gently kissed Neji on his seal before getting out of bed. Then he pulled the blankets over Neji. Kiba went into the kitchen. The fridge was empty. He could make breakfast for his mate.

"Come on Akamaru", said Kiba.

Shine whined.

"You can come too", said Kiba.

Neji woke. The warm body that normally hogged most of the bed was missing. His arm stretched out trying to find his husband. Neji eyes snapped opened when he couldn't find him.

"Kiba", he called.

There was no answer.

"Akamaru, Shine", he called this time his voice was more desperate.

He started worrying. Unknown to Neji his body was releasing distress pheromones in reaction to his worry. Kiba was out getting groceries. He walked down the street with Akamaru by his side. Then it hit him. He dropped the bag and went running to his house. Neji jumped when he heard the front door slammed open. Kiba appeared in the doorway of their bedroom.

"Thank god you're alright",

Kiba was relieved to see that his mate was healthy and safe. He sat next to Neji in bed.

"Don't ever scare me like that again", said Kiba.

Neji tensed when he heard the stress in Kiba's voice.

"Sorry, Neji. I didn't want that to come out so harshly. You scared me that's all", he said.

"I didn't do anything", said Neji.

"When you are distressed, your body releases pheromones I can smell. So can you tell me what's wrong?" asked Kiba.

"It's stupid", said Neji.

"Tell me anyway", said Kiba.

His mate was tense and Kiba knew the fastest way to calm him down. Kiba leaned closer to Neji. He started licking the fresh bite mark he made last night. Neji instantly relaxed.

"I thought you were upset with me. I was worried when I saw you weren't here. I thought you wouldn't return", said Neji.

"Why would you think that?" asked Kiba.

"After what I said last night", said Neji.

"You'll let me in when you're ready. I will never abandon you Neji", said Kiba.

"I'm not used to feeling like this", said Neji.

"You're going through a lot of physical changes right now. It would be overwhelming for anyone. It's all right for you to be a bit foolish. Can I continue?" asked Kiba.

Neji face went pink. He moved his hair away from his neck and bared it to Kiba. His husband pulled him into a tight embrace. Neji loved the feel of Kiba's tongue gently tending to his neck. He closed his eyes and allowed himself to melt into his husband's warm embrace. After some time Kiba pulled away.

"That looks better", said Kiba.

Neji opened his eyes. He couldn't help being disappointed that the contact was over.

"How are you feeling?" asked Kiba.

"My abdomen is sore and walking won't be pleasant, but I've been through much worse. It will be easy enough to ignore", said Neji.

Kiba put his hand on Neji's forehead.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Checking if your fever has gone down", said Kiba.

"I feel better", said Neji.

"Good", said Kiba.

He kissed Neji seal's.

"Can you dress yourself?" asked Kiba.

"Yes", said Neji.

"Are you sure?" asked Kiba.

"Go", said Neji.

He dressed as quickly as he could. When Kiba saw him, he picked him up.

"Put me down", said Neji.

"I will", said Kiba.

He placed him gently on the kitchen table.

"We don't have much food. I was in such a rush to get here that I dropped it in the street", said Kiba.

There was a knock at the door.

"COME ON NEJI OPEN THE DOOR!" yelled Lee.

Neji covered his ears. Lee's loud voice was hell on his ears. How does Kiba handle this twenty-four seven?

"You'll get used to it", said Kiba.

Kiba opened the door. Every member of the Konoha eleven and their spouses barged into the small house. Neji felt suffocated by a large amount of people invading i their cozy home.

"How are you feeling?" asked Sakura.

"Better, you all didn't have to come here", said Neji.

Kiba sensed his mate's discomfort.

"Neji are you sure you're alright you've gone a shade paler?" asked Sakura as place her hand on his forehead.

"Yes, I'm sure", said Neji.

Kiba sensed his mate's discomfort. Neji was too polite to ask their friends to leave. Kiba, on the other hand, didn't have such a problem.

"My husband needs his rest everyone out!" growled Kiba.

He pushed them out of the house. Then he was back at his mate's side.

"You okay?" asked Kiba.

"Tired that's all", said Neji.

"You should eat something", said Kiba.

Neji made no argument. Kiba cut up a peach for his mate and placed it in front of him. Neji humored his husband ate a few pieces.

"Don't like it?" asked Kiba.

"Not hungry", he said.

"You haven't eaten for almost two days", said Kiba.

He finished the peach. His eyes grew heavy. He had no idea why he was so tired all of a sudden. Neji yawned.

"You're going back to bed", said Kiba.

He picked up his mate before he could even take one step. For the first time, Neji didn't complain about being carried. He smiled when he saw Neji had fallen asleep in his arms. That explains it. He walked to their room and Neji into bed. Instead of sitting in the chair beside the bed he joined Neji under the cover. He pulled his mate close and watched him carefully. Watching Neji sleep had its effect he was out in seconds.
