Tai: Right, I know you'll all kill me if I make this starting note too long, but I kinda need to. After this chapter, I'm a little stuck on where to go with things. I mean, there's only so much more I can do without getting the characters completely OC, but if that's fine with everyone then let me know.
Otherwise I will need a couple of suggestions as to where to go with this. However, without any further adew, I present to you, chapter 7!

Chapter Seven: Instinct
Racing away from the Inuzuka behind him, Neji took little notice of where he was going. His mind was solely focused on avoiding the tanned male hot on his heels, though the Hyuuga knew it was almost pointless; the Inuzuka was much faster than he was. Eventually he'd catch up and get what he wanted from the paler male, whether Neji wanted to or not. Darting quickly to his left, he found Kiba almost instantly closer, having waited for the older to try and turn to shorten the distance that much more.
Unable to find an out soon enough, he was soon tackled mid-air by Kiba, landing roughly on the ground. Opening his eyes, he found the Inuzuka's feral golden orbs staring back into his own pale lilac ones, no glimpse of control visible in the light yellow ones. "Kiba! Get off of – " the Hyuuga failed to finish his complaint as a bruising kiss was forced against his lips, Kiba's clawed hands scratching their way underneath the Hyuuga's light shirt.
Struggling for freedom, Neji found his lungs screaming for air. He'd had no time to regain his breath after being knocked from the air, and he was fast becoming dizzy. Kiba barely noticed, however he did pull away from the older nin, if only to rip off Neji's shirt and remove his own. An instant later the Inuzuka's lips and teeth were making their way down the pale flesh of the Hyuuga's neck. Neji continued his futile attempts to escape from the situation, even as Kiba nipped at the exposed nipples.
Kiba's clawed hands continued on downward and began to tug fiercely on the last piece of cloth covering Neji's otherwise naked form, long white scratches being left on the flesh. With the Hyuuga still struggling the Inuzuka dug his claws deep into Neji's hips drawing blood.
"Kiba, stop this!" Neji snarled, earning a growl from the Inuzuka. Lashing out as much as he could, the ebony haired male managed to land a single blow to the Inuzuka's ribs, temporarily winding him. Letting out a loud growl, he backhanded the Hyuuga, stunning him briefly. A deep bite to his neck made the lilac eyed male cry out in pain, Kiba not stopping until he broke the skin. "Fight me again and you will be sorry." He snarled, roughly stripping off the other male's pants and boxers.
Hungrily licking his lips, Kiba forced the Hyuuga face down into the dirt, nails digging into the soft flesh. "Now stay still." The Inuzuka growled, releasing Neji from his grip briefly to remove the last of his own clothing. Sensing his last chance to find freedom and escape away from the instinct fuelled Inuzuka, Neji began to worm away from the younger male, pulling himself along using only his arms.
His head was soon slammed into the ground, followed by another loud snarl. "I told you to stay still." Grabbing a handful of the older male's hair he slammed the boy's head into the ground again, earning a groan of pain from the male. The Hyuuga was soon too pained and dizzy to fight back further, and as the Inuzuka's claws dug into his hips, dragging him back and up onto his knees.
With no futher warning Kiba thrust his entire length into the Hyuuga's tight entrance, causing the male to howl in pain. The Inuzuka paid no mind to Neji's pain as he thrust roughly in and out of the tight body, blood dripping from the ripped flesh. Gripping tightly onto his shoulders, Kiba forced him back with each movement, moaning happily at the feeling. Becoming rougher with each thrust, he ignored the Hyuuga's reactions; his own the only ones that he cared for.
Neji's body seemed to be betraying him, despite the tears pouring down his cheeks he was moaning along with the instinct driven Inuzuka pounding into him. Hand moving shakily to his own hardened length, he began stroking himself in time with the rough thrusts for several moments. Soon Kiba's thrusts became more wild and hard as he neared his climax, growling and snarling as Neji tried to move even slightly in a different direction.
With a loud, long howl the Inuzuka finally reached his release, hot seed filling the Hyuuga's body as he too reached his climax. Panting heavily, Neji collapsed onto the ground, his body exhausted from the ordeal. Unfortunately for the tired ebony haired male Kiba wasn't finished yet as lips and fangs seemed to traverse every part of the pale flesh, despite the Hyuuga's whimpers of protest.
'Ookami, aren't you going to help?' the Hyuuga thought dizzily, trying to hold on to the last remains of his consciousness.
'Why? I have to admit I really enjoyed that, although I'm a little confused as to what he's looking for now.' She replied, ignoring the annoyed mental sigh she received from Neji
A gentle, whimpered moan escaped the Hyuuga as the Inuzuka's teeth grazed over a particularly sensitive part of Neji's neck. Attention turning fully to the spot, Kiba started happily licking and gently nipping at the soft flesh, enjoying the sounds it elicited from the older boy.
'If he bites us then he'll have control over us.' Neji mentally yelled, something that seemed to scare the wolf spirit.
'How much control?' she asked, the Hyuuga almost able to feel Ookami pacing his mind.
'I don't know..' Without warning the fangs sunk deeply into the soft spot causing the Hyuuga to cry out in pain, weakly attempting to fight against the grip Kiba had on him.
"Hurry up and get free! If he marks us…"
'I think it's a bit late…'
He felt the blood begin to trickle down his neck even as the Inuzuka's fangs sunk deeper into his neck. When it seemed they could go no deeper the unmistakeable feel of flowing chakra surfaced in his neck. Having someone else's chakra forced into your body, Neji knew, was a painful experience; it was one of the things that made the Hyuuga techniques so effective.
After several moments Kiba released him, dropping to lie behind the older ninja. Wrapping an arm firmly around the Hyuuga's waist, he kept Neji in place as the Inuzuka soon drifted off to sleep, Neji forced to follow suit due to the sheer exhaustion he was suffering.
When Kiba awoke his head seemed to be throbbing uncontrollably and painfully, the Inuzuka almost completely unable to remember anything from the night before. 'What happened last night? Did I go out drinking?' he thought with confusion, struggling to open his eyes against the brightness of the sun. Something seemed to squirm against his arm, the tanned male letting out a small groan of discomfort. It was that small movement that alerted Kiba to two important facts; firstly he wasn't alone.
Secondly, and almost most importantly, he was naked. With no memory of last night, his mind jumped to the worst conclusion it could; he'd lost control and marked himself a mate. Panicked, he pulled away and grabbed his clothes, yanking them on in a hurry. He couldn't bare to turn around and see who it was, those his subconscious seemed to be yelling in his mind who it was. 'I have to get home; I have to get home!'
Darting off into the bushes, Kiba took the slightest glance backward to his forced lover, letting out a small sigh. "I'm sorry…Neji…" Fleeing towards the Inuzuka compound, he hoped there was something that could be done to help the situation. 'Mom will know what to do.'
Hurried footsteps seemed to be thundering their way through the entirety of the house, startling a young pale-eyed girl from her light slumber. Sitting upright, she activated her bloodline trait and looked around the house, frowning at the number of ninja that seemed to be tearing the whole compound apart. Slipping from her room, Hinata headed to find her father, jumping slightly as several ANBU officers darted past her in the opposite direction.
"Father, what's going on?" she asked sleepily, unable to ignore the worried look on the clan leader's face. "Neji's gone; the guards thought he was asleep for the night and went to grab a few hours themselves. When they returned he was gone; they're not sure where." Hiashi explained, rubbing his temples lightly. "I doubt he knew they weren't watching and might've just gone for a walk, but…" "They can't find him at all?" she finished, earning a stiff nod from the older Hyuuga.
"He's nowhere in the compound." A heavily armoured ninja stated, wolf-like mask covering his face. It was standard ANBU attire, although slightly different to the rest. "We'll need the rest of the clan to stay here while we search the village. He's definitely still within the walls; we've received no reports of him trying to leave the village." "Very well, find him and bring him home." Hiashi stated, earning a stiff bow from the ANBU officer.
An instant later the entire squad was gone, though several members of the Hyuuga branch soon brought back the overwhelming presence the Black-Ops squad had brought. "What's going on Hiashi-sama?" "Everyone needs to stay within the walls of the compound; Neji's gone missing and they need to try and track him down."
A pounding feeling within his mind didn't cease as the Hyuuga awoke, though more pain seemed to wrack it's way through his body as he attempted to move even slightly. A small whisper met his ears, though he could barely hear anything; the thudding blocking out all noise possible. 'Do you feel dizzy too, Ookami?'
"More than dizzy; it feels like our head is going to split open." She replied, letting out a canine-like whimper. Neji tended to forget occasionally that she was still a wolf spirit, so it was only normal for her to make such sounds, if only mentally.
Shaking his head roughly, he sat upright and let out a howl of pain, moving to lie on one side. "Right, Kiba…" his hand subconsciously moved to the mark on his neck, a deep red and blackened patch of skin that stood out starkly on the pale flesh. 'I can't believe he did that. I know he didn't mean to but…'
"There's nothing we can do now is there? I thought your uncle was meant to have those useless ANBU officers following us."
'I thought they were; but they wouldn't just sit back and let that happen.'
"I suppose we should just get dressed and head back to the Hyuuga compound then."
Nodding, though Ookami couldn't see it, he scrambled to get his clothes and pulled them on quickly. It took a moment for the Hyuuga to stand up, and as he started to limp towards the compound he couldn't help but want the night before to have not happened. 'But it did happen and nothing's going to change that.'
As he reached the gates of the Hyuuga compound, Neji found himself quickly pinned to the ground and let out a cry of pain, wincing slightly as he was slammed against it. "Where have you been? You should know better than to evade the ANBU squad." One snarled, standing over the lilac-eyed male. "I wasn't trying to evade anyone; I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk. I thought you were still following me." Neji stated weakly, wincing as they dragged him to stand up.
"So why didn't you return once your walk was finished. You should've been in your room before sunrise." The captain stated, his impassive masked face staring back at the Hyuuga.
"Can we kill them please? Although I would like to know how you're going to explain this away."
"I got tired before I noticed and fell out of a tree." Neji lied, staring up at the officer. "Fell asleep on the ground before I realised it." After a few more moments of scrutiny they released him and dispersed, the captain waiting a moment longer before following. "Check they're following before going out next time; with that demon inside you we can't take any chances."
Left alone in front of the compound, Neji limped his way inside, mind screaming for a hot shower to burn away the feelings of the night before. He felt used and filthy, something that disgusted him to his deepest core.
"I don't think we'll ever feel completely clean after all of that; I liked the idea, but it's not as nice in practice."
Ignoring the wolf and the prying questions of his cousin as he headed for the bathroom to clean up, Neji wondered just what could happen now. Kiba had marked him, they were mates; whether the two males wanted to be mates or not. As the room began to slowly fill with steam, Neji slid off his light clothing and looked his reflection over.
Scratches and scrapes seemed to cover his body, all appearing to lead to the bite on his neck. Dried blood seemed to cover the details of the mark, something the Hyuuga was glad of. Stepping under the boiling spray, he winced slightly as the water hit the marks along his body. Fresh blood began to seep from most wounds, Neji closing his eyes as he looked up into the spray. 'How do I explain this to Hiashi-sama? Or anyone for that matter?'
"I thought I made it clear you needed to stay away from him!" Tsume roared, Golden eyes fixed on her son. He stayed there, head bowed sadly toward his feet as the older Inuzuka yelled at him. He'd explained things to his mother and sister, only for the older of the duo to hit him before beginning to yell. Their dogs, Akamaru included, were standing just behind the two women in silence.
"I tried mother. I went for a walk to clear my head and he was out…I just…lost control…" the tanned boy muttered, the viscous gazes of his mother and sister boring into him. "I told you this would happen! I told you to stay away because you'd lose control! Stupid boy, now we'll have to try and explain this to the Hyuugas!" Her anger seemed to subside some, dropping to hug her son. "I should've done more to keep you in." she mumbled, running a clawed hand through his scruffy brown hair.
"I'm sorry mother; I tried, I truly did." Kiba muttered back, tears pouring down the red markings on his face as he leant against her. He soon felt Hana's warm embrace joining Tsume's, trying to comfort the distraught boy. Even the canines were worried as they gathered around the family to offer their own comfort to the distressed boy. "We'll figure this out Kiba; I promise."
The Inuzuka heir had little idea of anything else, confusion and sadness reigning control over his mind. Unfortunately his emotions were transferring to his new mate also, something that, if Kiba had known about, would've undoubtedly stressed him further.
Stepping out from beneath the spray, Neji took another look at his reflection. With the grime of the night cleaned off, it was much easier to see what had happened between he and Kiba. The bruised mark on his neck was full of detail – no trace of blood remained around the wound but instead red marks lay where the Inuzuka's teeth had sunk in. Every detail of the tanned male's teeth was visible on his pale flesh.
On each hip a set of five red scratches of dried blood remained where the Inuzuka had dug in his claws to hold him still, and the limp he was left with was more than noticeable. The pain that had wracked his body when he'd awoken had dulled to a small throb throughout his limbs; something he figured could be fixed with painkillers.
A wave of anguish washed through his body, a feeling he wished desperately would go away. He had no clue what was causing it, the emotion appearing like a ghost from nothing in his mind.
"What is that? Where's it coming from?" Ookami all but howled to him, her whimpers starting to fill his mind along with the phantom sensation.
'I don't know, but it's painful.' Neji whined mentally, letting out a barely audible cry. The feeling didn't lessen any as he struggled to get dried and dressed, desperate for the solitude of his room. Without warning tears began to fall, the Hyuuga prodigy unable to choke them back any longer. 'What's happening to me?' he thought desperately, leaning against the bathroom door as he began to sob. "I can't…can't control this…" the Hyuuga whined, hugging himself tightly and allowing his nails to dig into his pale arms. "I just want it to stop…"
Tai: Well that was fun; read, review and leave me some ideas!
