Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Inukai: I most definitely need to make this chapter a good one.
Megumi: Why so much?
Inukai: The last one sucked bawls Megumi!
Megumi: I thought it was pretty good!
Inukai: That's because you don't write!
Megumi: Oh shut up and get started!
Inukai: Oh wait I have to say something:
HALLO HOYT THANK YOU FOR MY FIRST FLAME!
You're an ass…for saying it would be a good laugh…that was just plain evil…and I like it BUT that was mean…. Oh and I think it's pretty canon and from my view…NAH it's pretty clean not as nasty as you probably see it…would you like me to clean it for you though?
How about this I write your favorite het pairing a one-shot no YAOI at ALL just for being a good sport…well as good as a flamer could be. So what do you say? But before I create peace I have a few words…
Do you get it through your head this is fan fiction so please stop being so idiotic and get out of the YAOI section and go to your little sasusaku naruhina places. Oh and by the way are you going to do this for every time I update or something? And how are you so sure that I won't make this a het story or if Naruto and Sasuke are really gay if you just go all the way down to the review button and don't even read the story?
It's not necessarily because they have a moment though and they also have a lot but we YAOI fan girls just enjoy this type of stuff. Sorry that you don't but everyone has different beliefs am I right? And sure I'll take our favorite couple out since you see it offending…sometime when I feel like it since it's my story and Sasuke and Naruto are most YAOI lovers favorite couple and this is a YAOI story…so when I say our I mean YAOI fan girls…
But I must say I am so flattered that you somehow know when I always update and that you actually click a YAOI story and it just so happened to be mine! Oh hoyt you're so nice! –Snicker- you just enjoy doing your bullshit with flaming I don't mind I have enough fans! Oh and by the way I love them!
Day Nine:
Morning…
Lights revealed a burnt, destroyed, filthy room. It used to be in order…ivories and earth tones used to decorate the place and hold a certain Hyuuga safely with himself.
Now that certain Hyuuga lived in darkness…not only the darkness that surrounded him the darkness that also shrouded his soul. He felt hot tears running down the side of his face as he sat up. He had gone against his family…friends…and himself just because he finally thought he had found love.
He should have listened to his uncle when he told him not to trust any Matsumoto yet Neji was bold. He didn't believe in destiny as harshly as he used to and believed that people had chances. He opened himself up to Inara and Inara walked in with a hidden bomb and it detonated…right in Neji's heart.
Neji wasn't sure if he could even love again. He had been through to much already…
Being a strong willed boy he hasn't committed suicide oh no but he would have a very liable reason to if any day he was that persuaded to. Neji crawled over to his clothes and searched for a sharp object. Namely a kunai but instead he pulled out a shuriken.
The job would be messy but it would be done. After going against a tradition built up for thousands of years in the Hyuuga clan Neji thought he should cut himself off personally.
He brought the shuriken right underneath the bottom back of his neck and cut through his noticeable trademark…first in the front to hide that cursed mark as he took off his hitai-ate and then in the back…all those precious silky brown strands that he held dear to fell to the ground. Neji let the last of his tears fall to the morning rays before dropping the shuriken and dropping to the ground.
"Password..." One of the guards said.
"Youko no ai…" Rei whispered to the guards outside of a cave and they quickly bowed.
"Ah, Rei-sama it's nice to see you back." One said and Rei just nodded and proceeded onwards. She walked through scarcely lit ways in the cave and sighed. She was entering hell again…
She was leaving behind her only child and the two she'd grown to trust; Naruto and Sasuke. She smiled thinking of the three but then the faces of Inara and her little sister invaded her mind and her smile dropped.
Thinking of the pink haired red eyed little joy Rei sighed. Her little sister, Lia, was her world. She looked so much like Sakura minus the eye color. She loved her and protected her from the harsh world of the Matsumoto. Lia was a healer and gentle hearted. Loveable and playful she always seemed to make Rei smile. She was scheduled to marry Inara and that is why Inara and Rei were so close but to tell you the truth Rei didn't like Inara.
He was a bitch to the most evil man on earth. She couldn't stand how a boy under an appropriate age could just do that to himself. He wasn't forced into it or persuaded he chose himself on his own accord to go into that position.
Rei was afraid of what Inara might do to Lia if he was given the opportunity. Even if he were wedded and was ordered to breed with Lia he would still have a reputation to keep up. Go sleep around do a couple of Male Pregnancy Jutsu's with high powerful men and gain more powerful armies for the Matsumoto. The boy disgusted her.
Rei reached the room she was looking for and quickly went to her knees.
"Taishou-sama I Matsumoto Rei at your service."
"State your kekkai genkai…" A deep voice ordered and Rei stammered a bit slightly intimidated by the man in front of her. She almost forgot his icy voice but quickly swallowed and answered.
"Kurushimi sir," She said curtly still hiding her face. If any emotion were to be shown to this man he would have her killed seeing it as a weakness. She trembled a bit at the uncomfortable silence that poured in. She knew he was studying her with his cold unforgiving eyes. She thought she was about to collapse at the pressure pounding against her ears until she heard a loud bang.
"Yo Taishou mission complete we got your bitch back." A deep voice said throwing a little boy at the man's feet.
"I have a name you know you fucking asshole!" Inara yelled and Phoenix spit at his face.
"You're not worth one." He said and his two little buddies laughed. Inara turned around looking at the Matsumoto Leader with pleading eyes.
"Please Taishou-sama this man has been cruel to me…please help." Inara said in a sickly bitter sweet voice.
"Oh shut up I-na-ra," Phoenix said in a mocking tune. "Why don't you just hurry up and suck the guy's dick since we all know you're going to sometime tonight!" He said and Inara glared.
"Shut the fuck up you, know nothing you pansy!" He yelled back and Phoenix stopped laughing to look at the boy seriously.
"At least I'm not some promiscuous bitch who just enjoys fucking around like its some fashionable trend! I guess this month's look was fucking Hyuugas!" He said and Inara felt tears spill.
"Don't bring Neji-kun into this you bastard! You should know after all since you fucking raped him!"
"Oh did I strike a never chibi cock-sucker? At least I didn't rip his heart into pieces!" Phoenix said and Inara was about to cry out when a deep voice halted all movement.
"That's enough!" The Leaders voice roared causing everyone to hold their breath.
"T-Taishou-sama I—…"
"That's enough from you Inara I will deal with you later…"
"But—!"
"I said I will deal with you later…" He said looking at Inara with those eyes that made the poor boy shiver. Inara nodded and backed away. "I am busy right now so I will speak with you later Phoenix you are dismissed." He said and Phoenix nodded before walking away with his lackeys.
"Now Rei-san…I have a mission for you…an assassinating mission…"
Sasuke held Naruto close as they sat on their bed in the famous Uchiha Mansion.
"I'm so sorry…" Sasuke said nuzzling Naruto's tan neck. Naruto sniffed and leaned his head against his.
"It's alright you didn't know…" He said sympathizing with his pale lover.
"I should have asked in the least. I had no idea…I never saw it that way…I…I could've gotten the only thing that keeps me alive killed!" He said as he started to shed tears of pity. Naruto sighed and kissed Sasuke's right temple.
"It wasn't your fault at all…I should've brought it up early to you in private. Now the leader of the village knows…I'm way too obnoxious and impromptu and…and unworthy…" This caught Sasuke's attention.
"You are not unworthy of anything!" He said trying to make his boyfriend realize. It seems Sasuke wasn't the only one failing to mask his tears.
Naruto's head was bowed now and all Sasuke could see were tears falling from shadows.
"Yes I am…I have a mass murderer sealed inside of me and I brought so much trouble to you and Sakura. I'm such an idiot. It was because of me, Rei's going to die! If I had just listened…if I had just learned…" Naruto said choking on his words.
"Oh Naruto…." Was all Sasuke could get out before falling prey to the tears himself.
Neji looked around now clad in a large white t-shirt and brown shorts that seemed to survive in the fire. He had his sandals on still and he stood trying to ignore the shooting pain the shot through him like a steel bullet. It brought in to many memories…to much pain.
He shook his head loose strands still falling from his scalp. He had taken the time to find a brush and a cracked mirror to neaten it a bit. He then put the now shoulder length hair in a small high ponytail not wanting to leave it out…not caring if his hair liked him or not.
He stepped out of the destroyed Hyuuga household not even thinking back to the members in the safe houses. Not even sure if Phoenix had cleared them out or if they were lucky.
He needed to go somewhere far away…somewhere where he could be safe and know there was someone to trust…
Was there really?
From then on Neji started his trek to the Sand village…to the Kazekage…the only one other place he could call 'home'.
Rei stayed there kneeling in shock. "You want me to assassinate the Hokage?" She said in shock remembering the kind smile Tsunade had given her when she had entered the village as a random peddler from Kasumigakure who needed a home after hers was burnt down.
"Yes unless you have created ties with these humans." Rei knew this was the truth.
She had created many ties with them all. She loved Sakura and Hayashi no matter how harsh he was to them after a while. She loved Sasuke and Naruto like her own boys. She had become to love too many of them. Even one would distract her.
If she were to kill Tsunade—who went out of her way probably knew full and well that she was a Matsumoto—it would hurt her. All of the female Hokage's efforts would be in vain. She helped a beautiful city and led it so fearlessly knowing the threats of assassination and rebellion and now here is one of her followers preparing to destroy all of that.
"I need an answer Rei-san…do you accept this mission?"
Rei was silenced at the moment so deep in her drowning thoughts. She heard the question and the answer that she knew would come out of her mouth made her throat tighten and her eyes sting.
She choked out one word…
"Hai,"
Running…that's all he knew he was doing…he was running.
He was running far away from Konoha and all his friends…running away from a war, anger, fear…
Running away…
Crying…that's all she knew she was doing. As she left the cave she was crying.
Crying for all the lost souls…all the emotions just spilling from her eyes…
Crying for Konoha…
Comforting…they held themselves in each other's arms crying their similar problems out. Blonde hair hidden in a pale chest, one hand coming up to pet the crying boy's head every once in a while, while he lamented himself.
Comforting for their lives…
Breathing…all she could do as she lay in a hospital bed. She couldn't close her eyes because Mizunekai's dead body plastered itself there…she didn't shed tear or cry one word. She just lay dormant…she wanted to die but…she couldn't…as she had people to live for…
Breathing for Naruto and Sasuke…
War…
Tearing the strongest of people apart…
