Chapter 9
After a good talk with the doctor, Neji returned to his cell. He had been ill for a month, and now he officially had been declared better. The guard who was with him opened the cell now and pushed Neji back in, and closed it again, after having removed his handcuffs. Neji glared at him and then walked to Sasuke, who was sitting on his bed.
"Hey." He said with a smile. "I'm better."
"Really? That's good." Sasuke said and smiled a little. He knew he looked like crap. Tired and messy. And he was. He had taken care of Neji for an entire month while feeling bad himself. He had taken pills, even Neji's, anything to feel better. And now it was finally over. He just hoped he could leave the pills aside.
"Are you OK?" Neji asked, sitting down next to Sasuke. He looked concerned.
"Yeah. I'm glad you're better. Has it stopped hurting?" Sasuke asked, hoping Neji would allow him to change the subject.
"It has." Neji said, nodding.
"Good." Sasuke said. At that moment a guard suddenly stood in front of the cell.
"Hyuuga Neji." He said. "Visitor."
Neji frowned, looking at the guard.
"..Who is it?" He asked. "..I think you made a mistake."
"A girl who's name is also Hyuuga. It's for you. Now come here." The guard said strict and grabbed some handcuffs.
Neji frowned as he stood, walking towards the guard. Who would be here? Hinata..? Hanabi perhaps? Or someone else?
The guard now opened the cell and then turned Neji around, cuffing him up. He then took Neji away, to the meeting point.
Neji walked with the guard until they arrived at the phones now, and Neji saw his cousin Hanabi sitting there. He was very surprised to see her here. He felt nervous all of a sudden, as his handcuffs were being released and he was told to sit at the chair and take the phone. He walked towards the phone and sat down, taking the phone in his hands. Meanwhile the door closed.
Hanabi just looked at Neji for a while. She looked confused but still calm. She stared at him like that for a while and then finally picked up the phone. She didn't say anything though.
Neji swallowed as he brought the phone to his ear and mouth as well.
"..Hey." He said, afraid to say something wrong. He barely dared to look her in the eyes. But he still did it.
Hanabi was silent for a little longer, just looking at Neji. She obviously blamed him, you could see it in her eyes. But there was something more. Hanabi then took a deep breath.
"Why?" She asked.
"..I.." Neji started, not knowing how to start. He swallowed. "..It doesn't matter.." He didn't knew if Hanabi would believe him if he told her the real reason. And perhaps she was too young to know.
"It does matter. I have a right to know Neji. I have a right to know why you...why you killed him. You did it because you hated him, or because you wanted more freedom. Or maybe you did it because you simply wanted to do it. I have a right to know." Hanabi said, sounding angry and sad at the same time. She kept looking Neji straight in the eye.
"...I did it because I.. Hanabi I can't tell you." Neji said, frowning. "I don't want you to change your thoughts about this. You don't deserve that."
"I want to know!" Hanabi suddenly yelled. "I don't want to believe you did it just because you wanted it.. I want to know.."
Neji closed his eyes now.
"...I did it because else he'd kill me." Neji muttered.
Hanabi was silent now as she looked at Neji half in disbelief and half in confusion. "..W-what do you mean?" She softly asked.
"..I've always hid it for you, and Hiashi did that as well." Neji said. "..Things were going very bad with his company, so he.. well.. let his frustration out on me.. He did that for years. And it went worse every time. And the last time, the day before I killed him, he almost killed me.. I knew I wasn't going to make it if he did it again."
Hanabi was silent again as she looked at Neji. She didn't know what to say. Or what to believe. She had always known her father hit Neji. But not that it could be this bad.
"..So he abused you?" She asked.
Neji nodded.
"..I never wanted you to know because I didn't want you to change your opinion about your father." Neji said.
"..He's still my father.. He'll always be...I just wanted to know.. Because you are still my nephew too...And you meant.. or mean a lot to me." Hanabi said.
"..Thanks." Neji said, but then looked away. "You shouldn't though."
"I should...If what you're saying is true...And I'm pretty sure it is, then you had every right to I guess.. It's not good what you did...and I still hate the fact that it had to be dad...But I guess somewhere you were innocent.." Hanabi said.
"I have been a very difficult kid, so I guess that was a reason for him to start with it too." Neji said. "I'm not innocent. I'm a murderer." He looked at Hanabi now. "And I'm really sorry for what I did. I know I'll never be able to make it up to you, but I'm really sorry."
Hanabi suddenly smiled at him now. "Apology accepted. You might think this is weird, but I had more of a bond with you anyway...I just didn't wanna see you before.. But I just wanted to know. And I guess I wanted to talk to you again." Hanabi said.
Neji nodded now.
"..I can't believe you still want to talk to me." Neji said.
"You were like a brother to me Neji...I couldn't just let you go.." Hanabi said.
Neji smiled now, but it was a sad smile.
"You are my sweetest little sister." He said. "I miss you and Hinata.."
Hanabi smiled now at that comment. "Hinata didn't wanna see you...but she misses you too. The old you.. well...to her the old you." Hanabi said.
Neji nodded.
"I understand." He said. "..Perhaps it's best to not tell her. She loved her father a lot."
"I know. But I don't want her to see you like that. I'll just ask her." Hanabi said.
"Alright." Neji said, nodding. "Thank you. I love you." He smiled at her. Damn, he was getting emotional. He even felt tears enter his eyes. Damn it. He just missed everyone so much and he hated what he had done to them. He quickly blinked his tears away.
"I love you too." Hanabi said and smiled at Neji. "Are you ok in here? Are you doing well?" She asked.
"It's OK." Neji lied, nodding again. "I'm fine." He felt a lot better after hearing that Hanabi loved him. It really cheered him up.
"You sure you're OK? Have you maybe made friends? Someone to protect you?" Hanabi asked a little worried.
"I made a few friends." Neji said. "And yeah, I'm fine." Damn, he really was bad at lying. "There were just a few stupid situations, but well, it's jail."
"I get it. Neji, is it OK if I come by every week or so?" Hanabi asked.
"That would be great." Neji said with a happy smile. "But wouldn't that be too tiring? I mean, coming here every week for fourteen years.."
Hanabi looked at Neji in shock. "...Fourteen years?" She asked.
"Didn't you know?" Neji asked, looking surprised.
"No.. They just said you were in jail...And well, I thought that would be ok. But fourteen years is far too long for you." Hanabi said.
"Normally you get even more." Neji said. "When you murder someone I mean. They wanted to give me more, but when I told them why I did it and after they'd researched me, they gave me fourteen years."
"I want it to be less. I want you out sooner." Hanabi said.
"I don't think that's possible." Neji said. "..I'll be fine Hanabi."
"No you won't. I know you won't. I'll try to get you out Neji and you know no matter what you say I'm gonna try anyway." Hanabi said stubborn.
"I know, you're very stubborn." Neji said, sweat dropping.
"Thank you." Hanabi said and laughed a little. "Don't worry. Just stay with those friends. Then you'll be fine."
Neji nodded while his smile faded. He knew he wouldn't be fine. He could be hurt again. That rape had been so quick, so easy for those guys.. He wouldn't be fine before he got out of here.
"Something happened to you...right?" Hanabi said, knowing Neji was faking a smile. That something was wrong.
Neji looked at her.
"I'm fine." Neji said. "It doesn't matter."
"It does to me. What happened?" Hanabi asked.
Neji sighed.
"You really want to know, don't you?" He asked.
"Yes." Hanabi simply replied and looked at him determined.
Neji was silent for some seconds now.
"...My cellmate got beaten up and I told them to stop and well.." Neji muttered. "One of them ended up... well.. having sex with me."
Hanabi looked at Neji sympathetically and shocked now. "..Unwillingly.. right? Oh Neji I'm so sorry for you.. Are you OK? Can't you report that somewhere?" She said.
"I'm fine now." Neji said. "It got infected and I've been ill for a month, but now I'm fine again. I already reported it but they don't do anything with it."
"That's ridiculous.. But I don't know what to do about it either Neji.. I'm so sorry.." Hanabi said.
"Don't be." Neji said. "It doesn't matter, things like that happen in here."
"..I guess." Hanabi said and at that moment, the door opened behind Neji and the guard came walking in.
"It's time, I have to hang up." He said. Hanabi looked at the guard, then back at Neji again.
"I love you and I'll see you next week." She said.
"Alright, I love you too." Neji said, smiling. "Bye." The contact was broken now and Neji hung up the phone.
Hanabi hung up the phone too and looked at how Neji was being handcuffed and pushed away. It was hard to see, but it was what jail was like. Neji was being taken away now.
Some time later, Neji was being put in his cell again. After the guard walked away, Neji walked towards Sasuke.
"Hey." He said and then frowned. Sasuke looked bad. Really bad.
Sasuke was laying in his bed now, covers up high. He looked at Neji with red eyes now. After Neji had left he had just dropped into bed and crushed. He swallowed before talking.
"How did it go?" He asked, almost whispering.
"Sasuke what happened?" Neji asked, very concerned, as he saw this. "Damn Sasuke, I knew something was wrong with you. I'm going to get you a doctor." He walked towards the door of the cell now. "Someone come here, at cell 432! My cellmate is ill!" He hoped that a guard would hear him. He wouldn't be very happy, but at least Sasuke would be helped that way.
"..No.. I don't want a doctor.." Sasuke softly said. "..Come back.. I don't w-want a doctor." He coughed a little now and pulled the covers over his head.
"Sasuke shut up, you are fucking ill." Neji snapped, angry. How did Sasuke dare to hide this from him? "Hello! Someone there?!"
"..No d-doctor.. Neji please.." Sasuke said as he pushed himself up a little, hoping he could reach Neji to pull him back. He didn't have the power to stretch though.
"Sasuke you need a doctor." Neji said with a frown. "Why don't you want a doctor?"
"..They do things.." Sasuke softly said and then just let himself fall back into bed.
"..I'll stay with you, OK?" Neji said. "I won't let them hurt you."
"..Don't get them.. Just stay here.." Sasuke softly said.
"Sasuke you need help." Neji said. "I'll take care of it that you get the same doctor as I had."
"..I don't want to get out of bed.." Sasuke said. Why wasn't Neji walking back to him. Neji should take care of him now. Return the favour or whatever. It was what he was supposed to do.
Neji frowned.
"..Then he'll come here." Neji said as he walked back to Sasuke and sat down onto the side of Sasuke's bed, looking concerned. He stroke some hair out of Sasuke's face. "..I'm worried."
Sasuke smiled a little at Neji now. It felt good to hear someone say that. "..Thank you.." He said and closed his eyes for a while.
"..Can I please call a doctor?" Neji asked. "I'll stay near."
"..You can call one.. I just don't wanna go there.. I don't want them to be with me alone.." Sasuke softly answered.
"..I'll make sure they'll come to the cell and I'll stay near." Neji said. "..But it annoys me a little bit that those guards didn't react." He stood now. "I'll try something else." He walked towards the celldoor again now. "Hey, he can be dying you know!" He yelled all of a sudden. "Then it's your fault for not coming here, you lousy guards!" This definitely would work.
And it did, as immediately a guard came rushing to their cell. "Who's dying? And why are you yelling?" He snapped at Neji.
Sasuke coughed a little again and listened to what Neji was doing.
"I said he can be dying, that's why I'm yelling." Neji snapped to the guard. "He's fucking ill, I called two times already, but no one reacted. Can you perhaps get a doctor with short brown hair and a beard? He'll know what to do."
"And why that one? He has to go to the medicine room himself." The guard snapped back and hit the celldoor to get Neji out of the way.
Neji took a step back now.
"He can't get up." Neji said. "And that one because he probably knows what to do with him. The rest has intentions that can only make things worse."
"I'll see what I can do, but next time I won't be this nice. You'd better keep your mouth shut." The guard snapped and then walked away.
Neji glared at him, but was somehow relieved. He then walked towards Sasuke again and sat down next to him.
"Do you need anything?" He asked.
"You.." Sasuke softly said. He never knew he could feel like this. That he needed someone so badly. He never felt like that before.
Neji frowned, but got a soft look in his eyes.
"Then what do you want from me?" He asked. He'd give anything to Sasuke to make him feel alright.
"Just.. be here.. Be nice.." Sasuke answered as he closed his eyes again. He was feeling like crap, but somehow having Neji near made him feel so much better.
Neji looked at Sasuke worried and then leaned forwards and placed a gentle kiss on Sasuke's left eye-lid, and then on his right.
"I'll be here for you." Neji softly said.
Sasuke smiled now. "..Thank you.." He softly said. That was all he needed to hear for now.
At that moment the celldoor opened and the doctor that had treated Neji walked inside.
"Ah, you two again. What is it this time?" He asked and looked at Neji patiently.
"Hey, sorry for bothering you again, but Sasuke is very ill." Neji said, as he stood. "I didn't want to let another doctor come, since I think the other doctors did something to Sasuke."
"I thought so too. So what is wrong then?" The doctor asked as he walked closer and looked at Sasuke. "Well he doesn't look so good indeed."
"He has been taking care of me the whole time last month and didn't think of himself." Neji softly said. "..I think he took too many painkillers."
"I think so too." The doctor said and opened Sasuke's eyes and shined in them with a light.
"He practically overdosed, just to the point that he got this ill." He said. "Was he on drugs when he got here?" The doctor asked.
Neji nodded.
"He's in here for drug dealing." Neji said.
"I see. So addicted. I'm sorry but I have to take his painkillers away then. It'll only make him more sick. I can't do a lot about this. Make him drink a lot and make sure he at least holds one meal in a day. Other then that he just has to rest." The doctor said.
Neji nodded.
"Alright." He said. "Are there things that could make him feel better? Can I do something for him?"
"Just be nice to him. Maybe rub his stomach once in a while. It sounds like nothing, but the warmth of your hand can help." The doctor said.
Neji nodded.
"I can massage as well." Neji said.
"That would be great. If there is anything going wrong, just ask for me. I'll let the guards know you two have to get your food here for a little longer." The doctor said.
Neji nodded.
"Alright. thank you." Neji said, smiling. "Thank you so much. Can I do something back for you? You helped me out so many times."
"Not necessary. Just take care of him, I can't afford to lose people here. Good luck." The doctor said and got up. The guard let him out now.
"Alright, thanks." Neji said. "Bye." He then sat down next to Sasuke again.
"..Thank you for that.." Sasuke said. He had just quietly listened to everything. The doctors here just made him choke up. Even that one.
"You're welcome." Neji said, as he let his hand slowly stroke Sasuke's stomach.
Sasuke smiled now. "Will you come lay next to me?" He asked as he looked at Neji.
"Of course." Neji said as he laid down next to Sasuke, so he could look at Sasuke. He laid down onto his side. His hand continued to stroke Sasuke's stomach.
"..I'm sorry for how I behaved.." Sasuke softly said as he enjoyed Neji's stroking.
"It doesn't matter." Neji said. He was used to worse things.
"..I was not taking care of you the right way.." Sasuke said.
"..You took care of my wounds, so that's fine right." Neji said. He made little massaging movements with his fingers now.
Sasuke hummed a little now. "..I should've been nicer.. I'm sorry.." He softly said.
"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it." Neji softly said, as he continued with what he was doing.
"It matters to me.. I don't ever wanna be like that with you again.." Sasuke said. "You deserve so much more.."
"..Why?" Neji asked, confused.
"..Because I'm in love with you.." Sasuke said and stopped looking at Neji. He felt so uncomfortable saying it out loud.
Neji stopped making the little moves onto Sasuke's body now.
"..What?" He asked. Did he heard that well?
"..You heard me.." Sasuke said. Dammit, why did Neji stop moving over his stomach?
"..But.. how could you ever fall in love with someone like me?" Neji asked, very surprised.
"How?" Sasuke asked and laughed a little then coughed. He waved it away. "Because.. I mean...Look at how you're taking care of me.. You're just sweet and nice and loving.." Sasuke answered.
"..Thanks." Neji said, surprised, as he started moving his hand again. "..No one ever fell in love with me."
"Then everyone else is stupid." Sasuke said and enjoyed Neji's hand again.
Neji looked at Sasuke to see if he wasn't lying. But he only saw the truth in Sasuke's eyes.
"Thank you." Neji said, smiling at Sasuke.
Sasuke smiled back and then looked away. Neji wasn't saying it back...so that probably meant he didn't feel it. And that hurt.
"..Do you want to drink something?" Neji asked after some time.
"..No.." Sasuke softly said and then suddenly turned around. He felt so embarrassed for saying it. So hurt that Neji didn't say it back. He had never been in love and now that he was...it wasn't returned.
"..Sasuke I'm sorry that I can't return your feelings.." Neji softly said. "..I like you a lot but.. not in that way.."
"..I'm going to try and sleep now." Sasuke softly said as he kept his back to Neji.
"..Alright.." Neji softly said. "Sweet dreams."
Sasuke didn't react anymore. He knew he wasn't really gonna sleep. He couldn't. Not now that he felt even worse then before. Prison was crap. Everything was just fucked up.
A few days later, Sasuke was still sick and laying in bed. Neji had taken care of him most of the time, but Sasuke had not wanted Neji to do anything unnecessary. He just didn't want to get attached to Neji even more. Right now though, the pain was unbearable and Sasuke turned around.
"..Give me drugs.." He softly said to Neji. He had enough of the pain.
Neji looked at Sasuke with a frown, but full of compassion.
"Sasuke you know I can't." He said. "Lay down.." He softly pushed Sasuke back and stroke over his stomach.
"No." Sasuke snapped and pushed Neji's hands away. He pushed himself up now and stared at Neji. "Just give me some drugs ok. I can't take this anymore." He said.
"Sasuke I don't have drugs for you." Neji said, looking calm. "You know that."
"Then go get them! Just go get them." Sasuke snapped now and looked at Neji angry. He just needed them. Now.
Neji sighed.
"They're not here either." Neji said. "You have to drink some water." He stood now and then filled the plastic cup they had with water and handed it to Sasuke.
Sasuke though, just threw it away. "Then go get them! Go fucking get them because I need them!" Sasuke now yelled and got up from the bed.
"Calm down." Neji said, frowning. Was Sasuke in that kind of pain?
"I'm not going to calm down! If you won't get them, I will!" Sasuke yelled and then walked to the cell door. He grabbed the bars tightly.
"Sasuke no one will give you pills." Neji said, as he pulled Sasuke away from the cell bars. "Please, just lay down, else you'll only hurt yourself."
"I'll hurt myself if I don't get pills! I can't take it anymore! I have to make the fucking pain go away! I just 'can't' take it anymore!" Sasuke yelled frustrated as he pulled himself loose and hit the bars with his hands painfully now.
"Sasuke it will go away!" Neji yelled, and hugged Sasuke from behind.
"It won't! It won't go away! I can't take this anymore! I can't take it!" Sasuke yelled as he tried to get Neji off his back but was to weak to get it done.
Neji now pulled Sasuke with him and put him on his bed.
"Shh.. calm down." Neji said, looking worried.
"I can't calm down! Just let me go! Let me go.. I can't do this anymore.." Sasuke said as tears were forming behind his eyes. He shut them tightly as he grabbed to Neji, somehow seeking comfort in him. He knew he couldn't do this anymore and he knew the pain wouldn't go away. All he could try was seek comfort with the one person he didn't want to right now.
Neji let himself be pulled onto Sasuke, but was careful enough to not lay down onto him completely.
"..Sasuke.. you have to search your comfort in something else.." Neji said, still looking very concerned. "..Perhaps you can find it in me, I'll give you anything.. Try to not think of the drugs.."
"No.. You don't.. You're not… I need them.. I have nothing else.." Sasuke said and started breathing in irregularly as he was starting to panic now. Neji was not in love with him, not even close and he couldn't… He just couldn't cling himself to Neji out of fear of getting hurt. Everything hurt.
"..Sasuke... I like you a lot.." Neji said. "..I love to help you.."
".. But you're not in love with me!" Sasuke yelled as he now started pushing against Neji. It was obvious Sasuke didn't know what he wanted or what to do.
Neji frowned as he quickly got up again. He wouldn't force Sasuke into anything.
"I know.." Neji muttered. "But that doesn't mean that I can't comfort you."
"..Yes it does.." Sasuke said and groaned now. He curled up onto his bed and turned his back to Neji. All he could do now was tell himself he wouldn't cry.
Neji sat down next to him and stroke softly over Sasuke's back.
"I'm sorry..." He whispered.
"..Go away." Sasuke softly said, but didn't do anything to lose Neji's hand. He couldn't help wanting Neji to comfort him and yet want nothing but for Neji to leave him alone.
Neji sighed as he pulled his hand back and looked away. He stared at the floor.
"..I can't have you close if that's not what you want.." Sasuke said softly.
"..I do want it." Neji softly said.
"..No you don't.. You don't like me that way.." Sasuke said and groaned again as the pain was still so unbearable.
Neji frowned and then sat down at the other side of the bed and placed a gentle kiss onto Sasuke's lips once he could reach him.
Sasuke frowned now and just stared at Neji. "..What are you doing?" He asked softly. Why did Neji just kiss him? He didn't like him that way.. Was he just playing with Sasuke?
"..Sasuke.. I might not love you yet or being in love with you, but I'm well on my way." Neji said. "..I hate it to see you hurt, I care deeply about you.. and I like you a lot. I want to comfort you, in every way possible.. doesn't that say anything to you?"
"..You said you didn't like me like that.." Sasuke said and turned his face away from Neji. It was all just confusing and thinking hurt his head.
"..I said I wasn't in love with you." Neji softly said. "..But I won't push you into something." He stood now, and walked back to his own bed.
"You said you didn't like me that way.. that's what you said...'I like you, just not in that way.' It's what you said.." Sasuke said and buried his face in his pillow.
"That's the same." Neji said. "I'm not in love with you, not yet."
"It's not the same! You tell that to someone who you see as a friend.. not someone you could start liking.. you hurt me." Sasuke mumbled through his pillow.
"..I'm sorry." Neji softly said.
".. It all hurts.." Sasuke now whispered as his breathing started to get irregular again. He just couldn't take it all.
Neji swallowed as he looked at Sasuke.
"..How can I help you Sasuke..?" Neji softly asked.
"..You can't... You just can't.. You don't want to give me drugs and you.. you well... whatever.." Sasuke said as he tried to take a deep breath. It only led to him breathing more irregular.
Neji didn't react anymore as he stared at the ground again. He felt so guilty. But he couldn't push himself to love Sasuke yet. Sasuke had been so distant the whole time and all of a sudden he wanted love. Now. That just wasn't possible..
".. But can you please just.. keep stroking my stomach..?" Sasuke softly asked. He couldn't help asking it. It helped. And he knew it helped because it was Neji doing it. And it was what he needed right now, since he couldn't have drugs.
Neji didn't answer, but stood and once again, sat down onto Sasuke's bed. He softly pushed Sasuke on his back again and started stroking Sasuke's stomach again, lost in thought.
Sasuke closed his eyes now, hoping his headache would just go away. That everything would just go away. "..Neji.." He softly said, as he noticed Neji being absent. He wanted Neji to talk to him.
Neji still didn't react, as he closed his eyes as well. He couldn't help but feel miserable now. He felt really useless for making Sasuke feel hurt. It hurt him that he hurt Sasuke.
"..Neji talk to me.." Sasuke softly said.
"..I'm sorry.." Neji whispered now, his voice trembling slightly.
"..I overreacted... I can't blame you.. I'm just confused.." Sasuke softly said.
Neji was silent again. He really didn't knew what to do now. What to say now. He just continued stroking Sasuke's stomach.
".. Can you come lay with me?" Sasuke whispered as he opened his eyes and looked at Neji.
"..Of course." Neji softly said and nodded, as he laid down next to Sasuke, on his side, as he continued stroking Sasuke's stomach. He knew Sasuke needed it.
"..I don't want you to feel guilty.." Sasuke said.
"I am feeling guilty." Neji muttered.
"..Don't... I'm ok now.. It was just the pain talking.." Sasuke said.
"Ok.." Neji said, nodding. He sighed. Damn it.
".. What do I have to do to make you feel better?" Sasuke asked now as he looked at Neji.
"It's about you Sasuke.." Neji softly said, as he stared at Sasuke's mattress.
".. It's about you too." Sasuke said and then stroke over Neji's cheek with the back of his hand.
"I'm the one who hurt you Sasuke.." Neji muttered.
"That's not your fault." Sasuke said.
Neji shrugged and then sighed again.
"Are you going to the showers today?" Neji asked. "..I don't think it would be wise for you to go."
"..I don't want to stay dirty either.." Sasuke answered.
"I'll ask a guard if I can take a nearly empty shampoo and soap bottle with me for you." Neji said. "They often do that if one of the prisoners is ill."
"Oh.. And then? I'm gonna have to wash myself here?" Sasuke asked.
Neji nodded.
"We got water in here." Neji said. "I'll help you if you want."
"..OK.. I guess that's fine.." Sasuke said.
"Alright." Neji said, nodding. This would be the first time for him to shower alone again since Sasuke was here. Unless he could find Shikamaru and Kiba of course.
"Will you be OK?" Sasuke asked as he looked at Neji.
"I will be, don't worry." Neji said, nodding. "I won't let myself get raped again."
".. I don't want you to be in danger." Sasuke said.
"I won't be." Neji said. "I was here before you came remember." With that, the bell rang for the showers and Neji got up. "I guess I'll see you in an hour again."
"..Be careful." Sasuke said and waved a little at Neji.
Neji nodded and then walked out of the cell, following the crowd that was walking towards the showers.
