Hi's! So sorry for the late update.

Warnings: yaoi, ItaNeji, etcetc…
Thanks so much for the reviews. More reviews appreciated. Enjoy!
"He has already been gone for an hour and a half; he should be back by now. Did he decide not to stay here? No, his things are still in the other room. Maybe something happened to him? Should I go check now or wait a while?" Itachi thought while trying to focus on reading. He slammed the book down, got up, took his cloak, and started out the door. "Since I can't concentrate on anything might as well go look for him…"
----
It was around 10 pm; Itachi had been searching for Neji for about six hours and he frequently returned to his apartment to see if he went there. He had been to every store he knew and even around the bakery where Neji had run into him; still no avail. Now Itachi was really sure something had happened to Neji and from his instincts, it was nothing good. "Where could he have gone? There isn't anyway that I could still not find him…that is unless someone kidnapped him. Who? Who would do such a thing and why…ok, maybe for THAT reason…Oh god, I can't bear to have him hurt like that, he is only a boy after all and he was under my care even if it was only temporary…" Itachi thought with crimson eyes filled with worry, but yet, fierce determination still.
----
It was near midnight and Itachi still had not given up on finding his missing beloved (although he's unsure on how the other feels about him). It was raining as it had been the first time they met. For the fifth time, Itachi walked past the bakery, but this time, unlike the others, he spotted a streaked of blood (A/N: Do. Not. Ask. I just thought it would be appropriate) and coffee brown hair in the alley to the side of the bakery. Of course, not letting anything, ANYTHING at all, slide past him, Itachi went over to see what it was.
"NEJI!! Are you alright? Speak to me! Please be okay, Neji, please…" he screamed as he gently wrapped the naked boy up in his cloak and started to pick him up.
"Ita..Itachi…?" came the soft reply. Neji's eyes were barely open but he could still tell who the person carrying him was from the other's blood-red orbs.
"Thank goodness your awake! Please, please stay awake, at least until I get you to a hospital." Tears of relief and happiness were streaming down his face as he said this.
"N-no…not the hospital. P-please Itachi…ju-just whatever you do, don't take me to a hospital…" With that, Neji's eyes closed and body relaxed against Itachi's strong arms.
"Neji…no. No! NOOOO!" Itachi was relieved when he found that Neji still had a pulse and was breathing, slowly, but still steadily. He decided to not take Neji to a hospital, for he knew the younger boy must have a good reason to avoid it even when he was in extreme pain, but something had to be done…
When he arrived at his apartment, he immediately laid Neji on his own bed and because he had no idea what to do, only what he wanted to do, he called an acquaintance of his.
"Hello?"
"Hello Ms. Tsunade, this is Itachi Uchiha. I have a medical emergency. Can you come over now?"
"Itachi…if there's a medical emergency, go to the hospital, not call me! Besides its one o'clock in the morning!"
"Please, it really is an emergency and Neji is in a very critical condition, please come over right now if possible."
"Neji? The person with the 'emergency'? Itachi, there is no way I can make it to your apartment on time if the emergency is as bad as you say."
"Could at least tell me what I can do to help him then?"
"Yes once you tell me the details of this 'emergency'"
"Well…he was raped from what I could tell when I found him. He was naked and bleeding…"
"Rape…that seems to be so common these days…You should start by cleaning him up, then offer him as much fluids as you can, and after a few hours start to give him solid foods. He shouldn't do unnecessary forms of exercises, such as walking for long distances, running, etc…, for the first two days if he is bleeding a lot now. After two weeks or so, he should be physically healed as much as possible…However, during that two weeks time period, give him as much emotional support as you can, although I highly doubt you could do much from how cold you are to people most times. But since your so worried about him now, more worried than I have ever seen, well heard, you…just don't let him kill himself or go insane because of that unfortunate incident. (A/N: umm…I didn't feel like doing the research on what you actually are suppose to do to help a rape victim so I'm kinda making everything up from what I know…) That's about all you can do now if he refuse to have a proper check up at the hospital, I'm tired
so now goodnight. Call me again if his condition worsens…preferably in the morning or the afternoon." the lady on the other end of the phone said while yawning.
"Thank y-" The line went dead.
Itachi, although not exactly happy that Ms. Tsunade hung up on him, followed her instructions; it was a good thing he has a great memory for she spoke quickly. He went into the bathroom and started the water for a bath, for he could really figure out to give an unconscious person a shower…well, while still respecting his/her privacy anyway (A/N: I know, I know, a bath doesn't help much but…hey, it's better than having to shower someone who is unconscious in my opinion…). While he wouldn't admit it fully, a part of him was using the bath partially as an excuse to caress the soft pale flesh of the Hyuuga. During the night, when he could, he offered the younger drinks, mostly water and sometimes fruit juice (he had them delievered…don't ask). Neji at first refused to swallow the drinks, but eventually he did a little. For the whole night, Itachi stood vigil over Neji for fear of something else terrible happening to him and to care for him.
Sorry, terrible ending, but I promise the next chapter will be out MUCH sooner (like the day after tomorrow)…AND the two rapists will be in it with nothing good happening to them…Revenge is so sweet…. ByeByes for now, waves!
