I know it's short but I felt like Neji needed his little moment in the sun. Hope you enjoy. There is more to come.

Genma had Neji out of the bathroom and out the bedroom door so fast his head was spinning from the movement. With a last mumbled "and stay out" the door shut behind them and Neji was left to walk into a room full of his peers with Naruto asking his extremely personal questions in a not so quiet voice.

"Did she have a tattoo of a spider on her left butt cheek?" Naruto asked as Neji gingerly sat on the shorter futon.

Neji had thus far answered nothing and was getting a little irritated with the questions now combined with the curious and sympathetic stares.

"What the hell are you people staring at?" He groused and TenTen came to sit next to him on the futon.

"You want to talk about it?" She asked him kindly.

"We're all here for you." Sakura offered.

"Need a drink?" Ino continued.

"Can a guy really be a virgin? I mean, we jack off and everything. Doesn't that count?" Kiba asked.

Neji's eyes widened and he turned a stunned turning to angry look on his cousin.

"You TOLD them???"

Hinata blinked from her perch on the mat with a sheet wrapped around her.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know it was suppose to be a secret. And then Shikamaru said you'd had really rough sex tonight and after everything Naruto and I did I…"

Neji raised a hand to stop her before she continued. He didn't need to think about that. He'd seen more of his cousin in one night than he'd ever intended to see of any woman in his life.

"It's alright you know." Choji said. "We all understand why. No one's gonna think you're a pussy or anything."

"Yes. I find your actions admirable. May the strength of Youth flourish!"

"Um, Lee?" Ino began then shook her head. "Never mind."

"I can't believe this…" Neji muttered only to have Naruto press in on his other side and grip his shoulder. He winced and looked up at the blond with a scowl on his face.

"Look. I'm not trying to be hard and insensitive or some shit like that, but I need to know exactly what happened." Naruto asked determinedly.

Neji sighed and slowly settled back into the cushions, pulling a thick pillow into his lap at the same time. He moved uncomfortably for a moment before finally settling on a position that least irritated his sore ass and hard dick.

"All I told them was where I found you. Across from the sweet shop." Shikamaru told the Hyuuga.

Neji grunted and closed his eyes. If he didn't have to look at them this would go a lot faster.

"I answered the door and an ANBU grabbed me by the coat and pulled me out the door. She asked for Naruto and I said he was busy. So she stared at me for a moment then said 'You'll do' and started dragging me off."

He sighed as he heard a few indrawn breaths.

"And before you ask, no I couldn't just get loose. First, it's ANBU. Second, she wanted Naruto and I didn't know the reason. Third, even though it was late there were still people out. I didn't want to cause a scene and draw attention to what were are doing here."

He opened his eyes a crack to see everyone nodding their heads. Everyone except Naruto who was looking a little green around the gills.

"What did the mask look like?" Naruto asked almost in a whisper.

Neji thought about it. It had been the same cat-like mask he'd seen on the ANBU meeting Naruto a couple of days prior.

"The pattern was choppy. I'd like to say it was cat-like but I'm not really sure. The colors were black and red and…" He hedged a moment before looking up at Naruto. "It was the same one who gave you the scroll the day we met at Ichiraku's."

Naruto stopped breathing for a moment.

"You know her?" Kiba asked.

"Of course he does or he wouldn't have met her and she wouldn't have shown up here." Ino smacked the dog-nin on the head.

"Leiko. Her name is Leiko." Naruto said with a crack in his voice.

Everyone waited for him to continue. When he didn't Neji got irritable.

"Sorry. You'll have to be more specific. I was a little too busy being collared and strapped to get a name." His voice dripped venom as he stared at the blond kyuubi vessel.

"I thought maybe it was Miyu or one of the others. They're pretty rough and a little sadistic. It would be bad enough to put a virgin with them, but Leiko."

Naruto looked down at Neji with such sympathy he actually started to panic all over again.

"What wrong with her?" Choji asked having finished his chips and moved on to popcorn.

"She makes Ibiki look and act like a sweet fluffy kitten with big blue eyes and a pink nose."

Shikamaru choked as he looked over Neji's abused body again. Ino, TenTen and Sakura gasped. Choji raised a brow. Lee had started watching the movie again. Kakashi and Sasuke never stopped watching the movie and had since made popcorn. Kiba whined. Neji whimpered as memories began to assail him.

"I knew she was 'different' but…" Neji trailed off as he thought back on the painful paddling he'd received. His butt gave a twinge at the memory and he groaned.

"I swear if I'd known it was her I'd have come out myself. You should have come back in and told me." Naruto was telling a now more distressed Neji.

"What do you mean, you'd have gone out yourself?" There was a collective pause as Hinata stood from the mat, sheet wrapped under her arms, and moved toward the group.

"I… I… I just meant that… You see I owe her a favor and…" Naruto stuttered as Hinata moved slowly toward him.

"Well, since Neji has paid you're debt for you, I guess you don't owe her anymore. Right?" Hinata asked sweetly as her fists clenched and unclenched.

"Yeah but…" He stopped short as she stepped in front of him and put her nose to his.

"No buts… do you owe anymore favors?" It was a trick question. Sadly Naruto didn't know the trick.

"Two more. I took care of one right after we got here and now I have to…ACK!!"

Hinata had gotten fast. Really fast. Naruto might have a lot of extra chakra but he couldn't get a blow in to use it. Not that he was trying to hurt the purple haired girl but he couldn't seem to stop her hands from hitting him in some very sensitive places. Over and over again.

"Can we get back to MY problem please?" Neji yelled.

"Can you SHUT UP PLEASE!" Sasuke yelled right in Neji's ear.

Her cousins head was ringing when Hinata backed off but not before delivering a precise blow to Naruto's groin. The blond doubled over in pain. His gasps making Kiba, Choji and Shikamaru wince and double over themselves in sympathy.

"Alright, boys, back to the issue." Ino called.

"Right, we've established, Neji was abducted by a sadist who most likely enjoys torture for more than work purposes." Sakura ticked off everything on her fingers.

"Well, dealing with her is a mute point don't you think? The damage is already done." She pointed to Neji who was shifting uncomfortably on the futon again. "What we need to do now is help Neji work through this." She preached in an astounding invitation of Gai.

Neji looked over the girls now fighter over how best to help him. The men, still sensitive to Naruto's plight, no help. And the movie reaching a peaks so no help from those guys. He didn't need to talk this out. He didn't need therapy. Unless it was physical therapy. His eyes traveled to the bedroom door. He didn't have a chance in hell of getting his friends to help him out with his problems. Especially the more pressing need to have this ring off and some kind of relief. Should he risk pissing off Genma and ask for help. Shino was still in there but Shino was a quiet guy. He wouldn't tell anyone what he saw.

While the others were dealing with things that no longer had anything to do with him, he slipped slowly off the futon, holding his breath against his discomfort, and headed for the bedroom door.

Please read and review. And thanks to those that already have. I enjoy knowing how people feel about my work.
