A/N: Hey! Sorry for reviewing so late. Sorry, sorry, sorry!!

I haven't been on for so long, even though like ALL of my alerted fics have been updated by now . . .

Been totally snowed in with loads and loads and LOADS of homework. Eww . . . Anyways, this chapter is kinda . . . eh . . . I don't know . . . It was a hard chapter to write, at anyways. Keep in mind that, for the first part of this fic, the plotline will move VERY fast. Like, everything happens within a week. I'm NOT even kidding. Then, it spaces out . . . Umm, yeah. But the whole fic will happen withing the timespan of a year. So . . . That's about it.

Thanks, you all!

Chapter 5: Living A Nightmare

"I owe you one hell of an explanation?" Neji asked Kiba with a scowl, "I wasn't the one randomly punching guys for no reason at all."

"And I wasn't the one that was randomly raping girls, now was I?" Kiba countered with a growl.

Neji's voice was even, cold and dangerous, "What are you accusing me of, exactly?"

"You raped her," Kiba faced Neji, unfazed, but rather angry.

Neji's narrowed his eyes, "How can you honestly say that?"

Naruto glared at the Byakugan wielder, "She was screaming for you not to hurt her."

Hurt flashed in Neji's eyes for a second, before they became cold and hard again, "When?"

"Just now!" Lee roared, springing up from his perch on the bed.

"Okay, can someone just tell me what the hell is going on?" Neji glared at the occupants in the room.

"We could ask the same for you!" snapped Chouji.

An unearthly scream sounded from Hinata's room, cutting off any retort Neji could have thrown back.

In silent agreement, the boys all rushed out of the door, thundering down the hallways to Hinata's room.

"What's going on?" Sakura ran into the bathroom, where the blood curdling screams were coming from. Tenten was in the bottom of the tub, screaming and writhing as the water kept running, "Tenten! Tenten! What's wrong?"

The girl arched her back in pain as she continued to scream. Ino rushed inside the bathroom, closely followed by Temari and Hinata.

"Okay! Hinata! Temari! Hold her down!" Sakura barked orders as she tied her hair up. Temari pinned down Tenten's kicking legs while Hinata pressed down her flailing arms, "Hinata! Check her for any internal damage!" Hinata activated her Byakugan and stared intently as the screaming girl, trying to escape their grasp.

Hinata gasped, seeing tiny spots of chakra rapidly moving through Tenten's body, "T-There is foreign f-fluid inside her abdomen. But . . . it's . . . it's . . . human . . . " Her voice wandered off. She blushed, unable to say exactly what it was. But both the medic nins and the Suna kunoichi knew what she meant. Only one thing could get the shy Hyuga girl so flustered. "The guys never mentioned this . . . " Ino looked uncertainly at the screaming form of Tenten. "I thought it was just outer damage . . . " Sakura wrinkled her brows. "She was raped, then?" Temari gasped. They were so focused on the girl that they didn't notice anything around them. They didn't notice that all of them were being pelted by the water from the shower. They didn't notice a number of chakra signatures coming closer. They didn't notice the door being thrown open and the guys running into Hinata's bedroom.

"Shit!" Sakura washed her hands quickly, "Ino! Bring me a pan of water! I have to pull as much of that out as possible! No, fuck that, I need to pull ALL of it out! Temari! I'm using the same thing I used when Kankuro was poisoned! Except, this time it will be with a raw wound. It will hurt like hell, but keep her down! We can't have her having a rape baby!" She used her chakra to pull the water up from the pan and thrust it inside Tenten. The unconscious girl's raw screams became louder and more pained as Sakura pulled Kabuto's essence out of her body.

Neji froze after hearing Sakura's words. His world crashed around him, smashing to bits. His eyes widened, unseeing, as they echoed throughout his head.

Rape baby . . . pregnant . . . raw wound . . . hurt like hell . . . rape . . . baby . . . rape . . . pregnant . . . baby . . . pregnant . . . rape . . . rape . . .

All the other guys were frozen after hearing Sakura. Shock blanketed the room ominously.

"Tenten couln't have been screaming from physical pain, just now," Sakura swiped at the sweat on her forehead and tying her hair up as Ino prepared another tub of water, "So, it's probably psychological." She inserted the water into Tenten, collecting Kabuto's seed into the ball of water, and pulled it out in a painful medical procedure.

"Sh-She isn't under genjutsu," Hinata studied the girl closely with her all seeing eyes, "B-But, the chakra in her body is flowing irregularly, almost like sh-she is in a genjutsu. M-Most likely, her subconscious is inducing a-an effect, almost like a genjutsu, on itself, because of the amount of pain and stress she underwent."

"Hey," Temari looked up from the screaming kunoichi, "Why are you guys doing this process over and over again on Tenten? Sakura only did it once with every single organ with Kankuro."

"Yes, but there was still a trace amount of poison inside him afterwards," Sakura picked up another ball of water before forcing it into Tenten's writhing form, "We cannot leave any in her, because she is ovulating, and she will get pregnant." She concentrated on pulling out the water before continuing, "She shouldn't have to be faced with an unwanted pregnancy on top of being raped."

"Why couldn't she just take a pill?" Temari furrowed her brow in question.

"I-It looks like there was m-more than one shot in her. . . " The Hyuga girl blushed as she stared at Tenten's abdoman, "I-It also looks as if it's been a while since this happened. A-A pill wouln't work in time."

"So, we are using the more painful, but more effective method," Sakura gritted her teeth as Tenten screamed again.

"It really shouldn't be causing her this much pain!" Ino looked really worried, and looked at Sakura. The pink haired girl knew what Ino wanted to do, so she nodded her assent, "If you must."

Ino took a deep breath, "Mind Transfer Jutsu!" Immediately, her body went limp and she arrived into Tenten's subconscious.

Ino paled at what she saw. Kabuto stared at Tenten, ogling her curves and leering at her. He grabbed her, pinning her against a wall, and thrust himself into her roughly. Tenten screamed, and, unknowingly, Ino screamed with her.

Hinata immediately turned to Ino's body, "N-No!" Her chakra pattern began to mimic Tenten's irregular flow. It turned normal, however, when Ino returned to her body, terrified.

"W-Wait!" Hinata immediately returned to studying Tenten's chakra flow, "Th-This is just like K-Kakashi-sensei's chakra when he was caught in the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"Sasuke!" Sakura snapped, noticing the boys for the first time. The Sharingan user knelt by his girlfriend, "Ino, describe what her mind looks like."

"She is replaying being raped, over and over again, like a nightmare, but it's actually happening!" Ino unconsciously wrapped her arms around her torso, as if to protect herself, "And it's literally hurting her body. It's not genjutsu, because it should have been broken by the pain of the operation. But, it's continuing."

Sasuke frowned in thought, "This is bad. The only way to break out of the Mangekyo is for the user to stop using it. However, it seems like Tenten is imitating genjutsu on herself. Only she can break herself out."

There was a silence when they grasped what Sasuke meant. She may never break out of it.

Then, the silence was broken by a scream, "NEJI!!" Tenten's breathing became erratic as, in her mind, Kabuto continued to torture her, "NOOO!! IT HURTS!! DON"T HURT ME!!" An unearthly scream tore from her throat as her chakra began to fluctuate.

"Tenten!" Neji tried to get to the brown haired kunoichi, but was blocked by several ninja.

"See? Do you see how much you hurt her?" Lee's voice was cold, but his eyes betrayed his hurt, "How could you do that to our flower?"

"Lee!" Ino sat up, panting as the shock and terro of the moment slowly left her, "It wasn't him. Let him go." The shocked ninja let the desperate Hyuga past them, to Tenten.

Sasuke got up, going back out of the bathroom to tell the guys of Tenten's unstable status. Neji took his place, watching as the girls tried everything they could to purge Tenten of Kabuto. He repeatedly called out her name, desperate for any response from her.

Ino braced herself for another try at her jutsu when Shikamaru grabbed her wrists, preventing her from doing the hand signs.

"Shika! I need to do this!" Ino pleaded, but Shikamaru wasn't convinced.

"No! Ino, you tried already. It didn't work! It won't work!" His voice was filled with panic and concern about his blonde teammate.

"It's okay," Ino hugged him, and whispered, "I'll be okay." With that, she left her body to rejoin Tenten in her hell.

"Tenten!" Neji's voice could be heard from Tenten's subconscious mind. Tenten was still pressed up against the wall, Kabuto greedily thrusting inside her. However, Ino saw Tenten visibly relax when Neji's voice broke through.

"Who's that?" Kabuto snarled, pressing deeper into Tenten.

The girl winced at the pain from the pressure, but kept from screaming.

"It's Neji! Neji, Tenten! He wants you back! We all want you back!" Ino screamed at Tenten as clones of Kabuto pressed her against another wall, "Come back to us, Tenten! We all want you back!" One of the Kabutos holding onto her slapped her, making her taste blood in her mouth. However, Tenten was already recovering.

"Neji! Neji wants me back!" All of a sudden, she transformed from a scared girl to a brave kunoichi. Seeing her resolve, Kabuto began to flicker and fade away.

"Damn you! Damn you! I'll be back!" With that, he disappeared, leaving two tired kunoichi.

Shikamaru breathed out a sigh of relief when Ino came back to her own body, "Ino! Are you alright?"

Ino gingerly rubbed her cheek from where Kabuto slapped her, but other than that, she felt fine. She turned to Neji, "Keep talking to her! She can't hear anyone but you." Neji continued to speak to Tenten as Sakura wiped her brow with the back of her hand.

"Hinata, is that all?" The weary pinkette asked. Hinata didn't answer. She was slumped against the wall, unconscious, from using her Byakugan for too long.

"Neji?" Sakura asked.

"Byakugan!" Neji stared hard at Tenten's lower stomach, "She's normal." Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, untying her hair from her ponytail, letting it fall loosely around her face.

Tenten's eyes flickered, disoriented at her surroundings until she saw a concerned face staring down at her. Tenten took in the pearl white orbs and the brown hair, every inch of his beautiful face. She smiled gently, "Thank you, Neji . . . "

Neji couldn't say anything. He just swept the girl into a fierce hug as she leaned her head on his shoulder, taking in deep breaths of his comforting scent.

Neji buried his face into her hair, murmuring comforting words for her and for her only.

"Tenten, you're okay now. You're with us. We will protect you with all our might. We will help you through this. I will help you through this," He mentally slapped himself for ever thinking that she was playing with his emotions, "I'm sorry. Instead of moping around in my room, wallowing in my self pity, I should have been there for you. I should have prevented it. I'm sorry, Tenten. I'm sorry." His tongue ran away from him, as he felt waves of relief from having her back.

Tenten drew back from his comforting embrace to stare him in the face, "Neji! It's okay. It's not your fault. I forgive you!"

He leaned forward and kissed her, gently, on the lips, losing himself in her sweet taste. He kissed her chin and traced her jaws with his lips before hovering over her ear.

"I love you," he whispered, his warm breath tickling her ear as he said the words that all women wanted to hear but all men feared to say.

The others sensed that this was a private moment, and left the bathroom. The two sat, hugging each other, blissfully ignorant of the water pelting down on them from the shower, that Tenten was completely naked, or that this would not be the end of the pain they would endure . . .

A/N: Just as a note, yes, the guys saw Tenten when she was naked. But it couldn't be helped, and the thoughts they were thinking were far from dirty. Hell, they probably wanted to pummel whoever did it to the ground . . . Initially, I didn't want it to happen that way, but then I still needed some insights that could only be supplied by the guys (like Sasuke and the thing about the Mangekyo). But, the procedure couldn't have been done when Tenten was clothed (for obvious reasons). So, they saw her without clothes on. But, that wasn't that much of a deal. In any other circumstances, it would have been weird and awkward, but not at the moment.

Anyways, sorry again for taking so much time to update. Like always, review for a preview!!!
