Heavenly 1st date or disaster?!
A/N! She never sent me a request… sigh… but I wrote this chap, and yeah! LOVES ALL YOU STORY ALERTERS! This is my most popular story! I don't know why? Someone want to tell me what's wrong with them? I'd give you a free request too! You would be right after Cloud Envy!
Shikamaru toyed with his hair, extremely nervous, he finally just let it down, and took a drag on his cigarette, when there was a knock on the door, and he didn't look, and opened it, his eyes widened at the anbu. "What?" He managed to ask before everything went black. 'How troublesome, Guess I'm going to be late for the date, sorry Neji-san' was his last thought.
Upon awakening he was bound, with chakra bindings, and he was chained to a wall, "Troublesome, where am I?" Blinking his eyes clear, he noted he was in a dark room, and bound raising his eyebrows, he wondered what happened, mentally yelling, why didn't he look?! Shaking his head, he wondered how he would get out of this one, as he analyzed everything, he realized there were no weapons, and his had been taken, he could use his bindings, if he could get off the wall, which only took a little antagonizing from what he remembered of the anbu torked at him.
When he heard the key on the lock, he dropped his head, happy his hair covered his face, because he left it down. As four of them entered, one stood at the door. He looked asleep to them as they talked, "Think Hokage will suspect us?" One asked, worried, "No, he was accused of possibly going rogue, they will assume he's the one who killed the watcher, don't freak out on us" the obvious boss of the group said. Mentally cursing, he was glad Neji wasn't his watcher anymore. The third one asked, "Do we at least get to have fun with him before, and while torturing? Please?" The leader shook his head," As long as it's not around us, that is against my code, thanks." The other cheered and stood happily too close for comfort to Shikamaru, who made an effort to remain relaxed, and not tense up.
Shikamaru subtly, unnoticed, plucked a pin from his hair, and started twisting at the lock, holding him to the wall, wishing someone there would unlock the chakra bands, only someone not chained, forcing chakra into the cuffs released them. As they discussed which torture first, he shivered, acid knifes, acupuncture jutsu, ranging to summoning animals to tear off his flesh, leaches each one disturbing. When they took a vote, he mentally sighed in relief, he could handle kunai dipped in acid.
As they all approached, he almost had it but had to hide the pin back in his hair, preparing for the pain, he lifted his head, calmly watching, if they got cocky, he could easily get one of the kunai, "Why so troublesome?" He asked, scaring them all, causing them to jump. "Heh, revenge is sweet Nara." The leader said, smirking. The three crowded him, pulling out the kunai, pungent scent of acid flowed off the kunai. The creepy rapist one, approached, giggling, "Ever been touched Nara? Or are you a virgin?" Shikamaru just looked at him boredly, mentally grossed out. He felt filthy as the anbu pulled up his pants, and mesh shirt. When the kunai first stabbed him, he didn't feel it, but as the acid ate away, the pain was terrible, and he bit back a groan, and kept his bored look, mentally cursing them.
The acid burned him down to the bone, and if he weren't a ninja, he would be screaming. The creep decided he was a skin shaver, and Shikamaru whimpered as he peeled a few inches of skin off. He slipped a little, successfully snapping Shikamaru's leg. Shikamaru winced, biting his lip to keep back a whimper. "Fool! The acid stops bleeding, it doesn't heal bones! Leave! All of you!" They nodded exiting, "enjoy your break, when we return, we will have dogs for your entertainment." Shikamaru grimaced, but kept his bored exterior. As he left, Shikamaru let out his scream of pain, then focused, "Neji's going to kill me for ditching the date. How troublesome." He winced as he pulled out the pin, pain lancing through his arms from the cuts. "He quickly finished picking the lock.
He landed harshly, cursing, his leg fell limply, the other sent pain slicing through him from the acid burns. His leg gave out, and he collapsed against the wall, breathing heavily, trying to ignore the pain. As he braced himself against the wall, slowly standing, he ignored the pain, and pinned his hair out of his eyes. He reached the door, and flipped his hands over his head, trying the lock gently so as to not alert any guard. As assumed, it was locked; he hid in the corner, ready to run when they entered, he'd have to deal with the pain till he could get to Tsunade. He listened, hearing nothing he sat there, for a few hours pain driving him crazy.
When he finally heard something, he cursed; he heard dogs, a long with the anbu. "Well how troublesome, at least I'm already a rogue ninja; otherwise dying would be even more troublesome." Armed with his chains, feed hindered, he prepared to fight, giving himself a 1 percent chance of living. As they entered, he froze, dogs snarling, the anbu dragged them in, Shikamaru inched around the door, and slammed it shut, cursing that the keys weren't in it. He was in an unknown hallway, he sprinted/hobbled down, seeing all the other halls caged in; he dashed into a room, searching for windows. Seeing none, he hid in the closet.
Cursing to himself, realizing they'd find him in seconds with dogs, he splashed water all over the room, covering every inch, happy there was a bathroom; he hobbled across the room, wincing in pain every step. He closed the closet right as they rushed in. He silenced his breathing, sitting in the corner wishing he could use his shadow possession, the cuffs were increasingly annoying, and he was running out of chakra, so he was physically exhausted. As they searched the room, Shikamaru thought if he was found, there was nowhere to run, and at this point, he didn't even have the energy to move a finger.
As the door creaked open, Shikamaru gave up, closing his eyes in defeat, at the murderous gaze of the leader. He was dragged out, wincing as they gave his wounds no consideration. Laying sprawled on the ground, he heard them let the dogs attack, there was at least three, and they bit clawed, and mauled him, he screamed as darkness threatened to consume him, his body spasmed in pain, dogs t trying to rip him apart. "I'm sorry Hyuuga-san, how very troublesome." As his eyes closed, he swore he saw a flash of white.
(Have to switch to Neji P.O.V. for next part, my apologies)
Neji knocked on Shikamaru's door, shocked as it sung open easily. Immediately on guard, he looked around, noting a hair tie on the ground. "Shikamaru?" Neji said, scanning the really crappy apartment. "He couldn't get a better one?" It was much better from the outside. Searching, he found it odd, that Shikamaru left his weapons, even when relaxing he carried them. Neji knew something was up; he headed out in search of Shikamaru. He noted a mild scratch, in the floor as he left.
Neji noted the injured guard, he was still breathing. Swiftly, he carried the watcher to Tsunade, "It wasn't Shikamaru." He said. She looked at him while healing, "How can you be sure, the only witness is the watcher, and he won't be talking for a while." Neji shook his head, "We had plans for today, he wasn't about to leave, trust me." Gazing at him, she shook her head, "Find him, if he's not found in a day, then he's officially rogue!" Neji nodded, and began his hunt for Shikamaru. After four hours, he saw one of the anbu from his apartment. He followed his instincts, and stalked the anbu, shocked when he left and went to the abandoned prison. He waited thirty minutes before stealthily sneaking in, he saw a gate coming up and entered, he observed there was a door open, he looked in it, and his eyes opened wide, he saw blood, not a lot and acid dipped kunai, he knew it was fresh, "Please don't let that be Shikamaru's blood."
He heard cursing from a room, and it sounded like Shikamaru, he slowly came around the door, and saw red, three dogs were slowly shredding Shikamaru, who he saw had a broken leg, and more than a few cuts straight to the bone, he heard Shikamaru say, "I'm sorry Hyuuga-san how very troublesome." Before he closed his eyes. Neji darted in, pulling out two kunai, he swiftly removed the dogs. The anbu cursed, and attacked, Neji sixty four palms attacked them, successfully immobilizing them, and he ignored their complaints, and grabbed the prone Nara, who was bleeding everywhere.
Neji was mildly grossed out, it was enough to shake the strongest Shinobi, and no one should have that much bone showing. When he reached Tsunade, Shikamaru had stopped breathing, and was deathly pale.
(Back to the troublesome one! Heh)
Shikamaru was numb, he felt like he was flying, "Hum, its troublesome to die," he flowed to the sky, feeling like he couldn't breath, as he floated out, and up, he calmly watched his life flash by, often seeing a sad child, he learned to act bored, his parents didn't care if he were sad or not. He smirked as his childlike self met Neji, Neji had just lost his dad, and Shikamaru had "Ran" away from home, he had seen Neji, and it was a crush at first sight. He walked up; his bored face not yet developed, and smiled, "What's wrong?" Before bowing, "Shikamaru Nara at your service." The little boy looked up with an odd mark on his head, "Leave me a lone!" The kid said which shocked Shikamaru, who decided he'd make it better! His childish belief that he could was admirable.
As the memory flowed by, Shikamaru heard faint talking, as he sat staring at the clouds. "The anbu kidnapped him!" A voice floated by and another voice answered, "I don't know if I can save him Hyuuga! He's not breathing!" The female sounded frustrated, and Shikamaru felt as if hands were pressing on him, and someone was trying to force him to breathe. "Well how troublesome, if someone wants me to live, I might as well try myself." He nodded, thinking hard trying to force himself to breath, as he took his first breath, the weight lifted off him, and he fell, fast, into darkness.
As he slowly became partially conscious, he heard Tsunade, and wanted to scream in pain as she wrapped his wounds. "That's all I can do Neji, he has to heal on his own, and you need to get him out of here, take care of him at your place, I'll have to deal with the anbu, and he would be safer there." Shikamaru whimpered in pain, as he felt wraps around just bone, his nerves were on fire. He wondered why he didn't just stay in that peaceful oblivion, this pain was too much. "Yes Hokage sama, I'll take care of him." He felt chakra flow, and knew he was now on a couch. He felt Neji's form slump over him, and winced in pain. "That was one hell of a first date Nara. I actually thought you'd be an ass enough to die before we actually went on a date, and here I thought you liked me." Shikamaru wanted to hug him as Neji sounded choked up, "I actually was worried you stupid ninja!" He growled.
Shikamaru groaned, opening his eyes, "Neji, much as I love having you touch me, it feels like I'm on fire. How troublesome." Neji jumped, and smirked, "Too troublesome to die huh?" He laughed in relief hiding his tears. "Do that again, and I'll kill you Shika, I actually thought I'd lost you, and it scared me half to death." Shikamaru smiled, which turned into a wince, "Sorry, and here I thought you were just giving me a pity date!" Shikamaru whimpered as his body ached. "Well, if you feel so awesome up there, want to give me a kiss to feel better?" Shikamaru asked, almost inaudible. Neji smiled softly, and leaned down giving Shikamaru a kiss. "Happy? You are now MY Shika, so no going and getting yourself tortured again." Shikamaru nodded happily, a blissful look on his face; Neji was a very good kisser indeed.
A/N Don't thinks it's over! I will have more heh, but they finally have their first date next chap! Well sorta…. Heh unless I come up with another thing, any ideas always welcome!
