“A Distant Cry”

By Yersi Fanel

(Beta, TenshiXXX)

Chapter 6: Oblivion

Tsunade was glaring at the dark haired genin. She was not very happy with Shikamaru’s choice in having Sasuke as part of the squad. After all, it was not a secret that Sasuke’s hate for Itachi blinded him even in battle. Then again, Sasuke was an strong ninja. If Shikamaru and the others could keep him under control, his presence was going to be useful.

“Sasuke” called the Hokage “Any ideas of why Itachi took Neji?”

The boy lowered his eyes, thinking, he knew exactly why Itachi went after Neji. He had his journal, the portfolio, Itachi’s own words during the battle and the Tsukiyomi image…but

“No”

Tsunade sighed. Some part of her mind was telling her that Sasuke was clearly lying, yet she had no proof to support her theory. The reality was that the boy couldn’t say out loud what he knew. At least not yet. He was ashamed of his own actions and weakness, not to mention angry and frustrated at Itachi’s actions.

“Well then, you should go, before they gain more distance” said Tsunade. The group nodded and the five of them disappeared from her office.

Tsunade leaned on her desk, supporting her face on her arms. Something was off. She knew that there was more information around than what she knew. Sasuke was hiding something important, she hoped that Naruto and the others could make him talk…

Neji slowly opened his eyes. He could felt the wind against his skin. Someone was carrying him by the waist. The boy moved.

“Oi, Itachi” called Kisame when he felt the boy move under his arm “Boy’s awake” Neji looked at his captors. They were running through the trees at high speed. Kisame was carrying him while Itachi was running in front of them.

The missing nins stopped for a moment. Kisame let Neji stand up on his feet and Itachi took him by the wrist.

“Keep up or you will fall,” was the only warning Itachi gave him before started to run and jump again. Neji could tell that if he did not kept up with the other two, Itachi was going to drag him. Even if they were crossing a river, jumping through trees or plain running on a desert ground.

Neji was keeping the pace of the two missing nins. Itachi’s firm hold of his wrist was guiding him into an unknown direction to him. The boy could tell that they still were in the fire country, but they were in an where he had never been before.

The Hyuuga looked over his shoulder. Kisame was running behind them, so Neji was between the two Akatsuki members. The opal eyed shinobi was focusing to clear his mind to remember the agreement that Itachi mentioned. He was sick of not understand what was happening to him.

After Sasuke’s estrange behavior towards him in the training grounds, things started to get more and more complicate for him. Not only he had ended in a relationship with Sasuke- not a very healthy one but a relationship in the end- but he had also been abducted by Uchiha Itachi, who claimed to have an agreement with him.

The thing was, he couldn't remember.

Neji wanted to attack Itachi right there and go home but he knew that he was not going to win against the Uchiha prodigy. If he couldn’t fight at the moment, then he wanted to understand the situation. If there was something that Neji really hated, it was to feel lost. And he was very lost right now.

The Hyuuga boy’s free hand tuched Itachi’s necklace now around his neck. He blinked slowly. He needed clues to find this part of the past and only the person in front of him could give them to him.

“Itachi-san…” called the boy, the Uchiha looked at him over his shoulder “This… agreement that you mentioned…when did we?—”

“Right before I left Konoha” he answered not letting Neji finish the question “After I got rid of my cage”

Neji’s eyes widened. His head stared to hurt. His free hand went over his temple and he almost tripped, but Itachi caught him, holding him by the waist without stopping. The boy closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. His mind was opening another door.

-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --

Neji saw that Hiashi trained Hinata with not very much interest in doing so. The little girl was having more trouble than usual in her footwork and focus her moves. The boy glared at the picture. Even if Hiashi did not show support to Hinata, she should still be strong enough to ignore it and keep going. But no, the girl was getting worse with every single action the of the Clan’s Head. Even if he just looked at her.

He couldn’t stand it. Neji walked away from the dojo; he decided that he needed to be everywhere but there right now. He was not going to see his cousin fail again. He didn’t want to.

“I wonder if I’m foolish because I believe in you, Hinata-sama…” the boy whispered to himself. Neji was angry at Hinata because he knew she could be better and yet she was falling apart, taking away his belief in her.

“Neji” called a voice. The boy looked over his shoulder. A maid was walking near him “A boy is looking for you at the door. He said something about training with you”

“Thank you” the maid nodded and walked away. Neji went to the door to find Uchiha Sasuke by it.

“Hello” the boy waved his hand “I was wondering if you want to train with me and perhaps go to dinner after that” he asked, looking timidly at Neji’s feet.

Neji blinked and then a tiny smile decorated his face.

“Yes, Sasuke-kun” Neji walked near him and put on his sandals. Then they took off to the streets of Konoha.

The children walked in silence, some people saluted Sasuke while walking, he returned the gesture to them to be polite. Neji could tell that a large number of people expected a lot from the young boy, and Sasuke wanted to show what he was made of. Too much weight for such a little child.

Sasuke waved to another lady that saluted him and then sighed, clearly frustrated. So he took Neji’s hand and stared to run, guiding him to where they could train without interruptions.

“I know a place we can go! My brother and I train there! It's in the Uchiha district! Come on!” Sasuke smiled at him and Neji just nodded, running to keep Sasuke’s pace. They arrived to an area in the woods where there were targets on the trees and in some other places; this was the place Itachi had taken Neji to train the first time.

“This place looks nice” commented Neji, trying to sound casual. Sasuke was looking at the base of a tree. There was a hole there. The boy pulled out a bag.

“Yes it is. My brother comes here and so do I. Here, I have weapons and some medical supplies if we need them” Sasuke got up and started to stretch. So did Neji “I heard that you are the top one in your class, it is true?” asked the boy. Neji looked at him.

“I guess” he said, even if he wanted to add that he had to be the best, to show everyone that he was a great shoinobi. That even if he was in the branch house, he was a true genius of his clan. He was going to do it.

Sasuke raised and eyebrow at the answer, but did not ask anymore. Both took a fighting stance, Sasuke a normal taijutsu and Neji his Jyuuken stance. Sasuke blinked at this. He had seen Hinata take that fighting stance sometimes in class but he had never actually fought against it.

Both of them ran to the other, throwing attacks and blocking them. Neji was just using his stance but not actually sending chakra, because he didn’t want to hurt Sasuke. The Uchiha was just practicing. There was a moment in which Sasuke changed to use weapons to attack. Neji did a series of hand seals and activated his Byakugan. The Uchiha stopped for a moment.

“What happened, Sasuke-kun?” asked the opal eyed boy. Sasuke shook his head.

“It’s nothing. I was just thinking that you can already use you bloodline limit even at… how old are you?”

“Eight years old, I’ll be nine in July, Sasuke-kun.”

“Really? I’ll be eight in July too” Sasuke smiled at him and then remembered another question “Hinata can use her Byakugan too?”

“Yes she can.” answered Neji “But you see…we were trained hard to use it even though we are very young, because Hinata is the heiress of the clan and because I’m…” Neji lowered his eyes for a moment. Sasuke blinked and walked towards him, while Neji was deactivating his byakugan

“You what?” Neji sighed and looked at Sasuke. The boy was curious. Neji smiled a little

“And I have to protect her” Sasuke smiled at him, picking up the fallen kunais and shurikens.

“Hinata is your cousin and you have to protect her? That’s why you train so hard? Hinata can be strong for herself. I mean, she is supposed to become a konoichi.”

“Its part of the reason why I train so hard, you see. It is not the whole reason” explained Neji. Sasuke looked at him over his shoulder.

“I want think if you want to protect something important you can become stronger” said Sasuke “But my father does not think that way, to be honest. I don’t know what he wants from me. I fight to figure it out”

“It is working?” asked Neji, maybe to gain some hope for himself too.

“Slowly, yes, I think is working.” admitted the boy, but his eyes were not sure and Neji could see that.

They stayed there, training and talking for the whole afternoon. Neji liked Sasuke. He was different form the other boys in the academy and very different from the ones in the clan. He actually enjoyed being with him.

Neji found himself wondering about the relationship between Sasuke and Itachi. The older Uchiha had been his mentor for a while now but the boy could not say that he knew Uchiha Itachi. He knew part of him, but some times Neji felt like if he was talking to him for the first time.

At dusk they stopped their training. Sasuke picked up all his things and before Neji could say a thing, the Uchiha took his hand and began to run to the Uchiha estates.

“Be my guest for dinner, Neji-kun” he explained while running, Neji blinked twice to later smile shyly and nod.

When they reached one of the Uchiha compound entrances, they stopped running. Sasuke never let go of Neji’s hand while walking, waving with his other hand to the people who called for him. Neji stayed near his friend all the time. Even though he had been there before, this was actually the first time that he was walking freely there.

Neji caught the curious eyes of some kids that were running on the streets. The Hyuuga’s eyes traveled from them to his cloths. He was wearing a simple pair of black shorts, black shirt and a white short sleeve jacket with the Hyuuga symbol on his right sleeve. But his white eyes were why the others were looking at him.

That and the fact that he was with Sasuke. It was something that the other Uchihas not seen everyday. Sasuke with a friend, and a Hyuuga no less. The clans had good terms with each other, but it was just not very common to see the kinds from those clans together. But of course Neji and Sasuke didn’t know that.

“My house is this way” said the boy, walking through the streets and finally arriving to the place.

Sasuke opened the door and walked in, taking his shoes off and waiting for Neji, who did the same.

“I’m home!” shouted the boy “Mom, I brought a friend. I hope you don’t mind…” he said looking through the open kitchen door. His mother was there. She turned around to see him while his father, sitting in front of the table reading a book, looked at him as well.

“Welcome home, Sasuke” she said to him “A friend you said?” she asked with a smile, Sasuke nodded and turned around to take Neji’s hand and drag him to the kitchen “Oh, hello there. I’m Uchiha Mikoto, Sasuke’s mother. Nice to meet you” she bowed politely. Sasuke let go of Neji’s hand and the boy walked besides him “and here is my husband, Uchiha Fugaku” she introduced him looking at the table.

“I’m Hyuuga Neji, nice to meet you” Neji talked with hi usual polite tone and bowed as well. Mikoto smiled at him and nodded in agreement.

“Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, why don’t you show Neji-kun around in the meantime, Sasuke?” Mikoto suggested, turning back to the counter. Sasuke took Neji’s hand again and guided him out of the kitchen and into the halls in front of the garden.

Mikoto looked at her husband, very tempted to throw a piece of carrot at him to make him react. Fugaku finally raised his head.

“Sasuke is not very social and he ended with a Hyuuga for a friend. Hmp!”

“Well, I think is good to him to have friends and Neji-kun seems to be a nice kid” defended Mikoto. Even though she was very patient, sometimes his husband just got on her nerves.

“Hm” was the answered, the woman giggle nervously and her right eyebrow twitched.

“I’m home” said another voice from the door. Mikoto walked to the doorframe to see her elder son taking his shoes off.

“Welcome home, Itachi” she greeted him “Could you help me to set up the table? Dinner is almost ready”

“Yes mother” Itachi walked to the kitchen and took a set for four. His mother took another set, and the boy looked at her with a very lightly puzzled expression.

“Sasuke bring a friend over for dinner” she explained “Both of them are playing in the garden right now”

“It's a Hyuuga kid” said his father, not taking his eyes from the book he was reading. His mother smiled while placing the final things of the dinner in order.

Itachi made the table without a word and walked to the garden after that. There he found Sasuke and Neji; his little brother was showing the opal eyed boy a scroll, pointing to the symbols and explaining something.

“Niisan!” said Sasuke, Neji looked over his shoulder “Neji, he is my older brother, Itachi. Niisan this is my friend Hyuuga Neji”

Itachi kneeled besides then and placed a hand on Neji’s head. Sasuke looked nervous for a moment, maybe expecting his brother to poke his new friend on the forehead like he used to do with him.

“Nice to meet you, Neji-kun” responded Itachi with a warm tone. Well, warm for Uchiha Itachi. Neji blinked and nodded.

“The pleasure is mine, Itachi-san” said the boy, pretending that was the first time they actually met. Itachi nodded and then looked at Sasuke.

“What is it, Niisan?” asked Sasuke, the tone of admiration very clear in his voice. Neji fought back a sigh.

“Nothing…” Itachi got up “Dinner’s ready” Itachi took Neji by the arm to help him to get up, but he applied a little more force than the actually needed. Neji looked at him with questioning eyes but the boy just stare blankly at him. Sasuke took Neji’s hand and Itachi let go of him. The opal eyed boy glanced over his shoulder at Itachi, who was walking behind them.

-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --

Neji keep visiting Sasuke. Both of them enjoyed each other's company very much, and even if the Hyuuga felt bad because of the constant silence he received from Itachi while being there. It was Sasuke and him, the child just accepted. After all they were suppose to keep their own relationship in secret.

The summer arrived to Konoha and with it, Neji’s birthday. And there was a party in a picnic area in the Hyuuga compound for him. There were some people from outside the clan: some of Neji’s classmates, Sasuke and Itachi. The older Uchiha came because he was suppose to look after Sasuke, and Neji was glad for it, even if Itachi was just there watching them and occasionally talking to the adults or his older cousins.

“Let’s play blind catch. Neji is the birthday boy so you are going to be the chaser!” said one of Neji’s cousins and apparently all agreed, because the next thing he knew, Hinata was placing a blindfold over his eyes.

The game was simple. One of them gas going to have a large bell with him or her and was going to make it sound while running while the others kids were going to distract the chaser running around and making noise.

Hinata had the large bell in her hands. It was like the ones in the temples and had a red string to hang it up. The little girl looked around and picked the bell keeper. She walked to Sasuke.

“Here, S-sasuke-kun” she whispered, hanging the bell around Sasuke’s neck “M-make it sound to s-star the game” the boy nodded and did it.

Everyone started to run around while Neji had his hands in front of him. Itachi was sitting near them, watching Sasuke hide behind Neji’s cousins while the opal eyed boy was trying to find the source of the sound. He watched his little brother, even though it looked as though he was hiding from Neji, Itachi knew the truth. Sasuke wanted Neji to find him, to be with him, but not just in that game...

Neji ran and jumped, finally tackling Sasuke onto the ground. lying on top of the Uchiha, Neji giggled and took the blindfold off.

“Gottya!”

Sasuke laughed and so did the others. The younger Uchiha hugged Neji to support himself to stand up. Itachi narrowed his eyes.

After a while the party was over. Sasuke was about to say good bye to Neji. He gave him something wrapped in a grey paper. A gift “It’s for you” he said “I didn’t knew what you would like so I picked something useful” Neji took the object and unwrapped it. The gift was a circular pouch, cream in color. Neji ran his fingers across it and smiled.

“Thank you”

“You can use it on your waist. It’s resistant for carrying around even in battle and has space for shurikens and others weapons and stuff like that” Sasuke commented. He was glad his gift was accepted by Neji.

Itachi walked near the boys and folded his arms. While Sasuke was talking to him, Neji raised his eyes to meet Itachi’s for a moment.

“We have to go now, Sasuke” said Itachi “Thanks for the invitation, Neji-kun and happy birthday”

While the two Uchihas walked away. Neji hugged Sasuke’s gift close to his chest. He looked over his shoulder and saw that almost everyone was gone now. Hinata was waiting for him. He looked at the Uchihas again and then walked to where Hinata was.

-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --

Neji was standing upside down in a tree branch. Itachi was training him into mold his chakra to clime trees. Neji was not having much of a problem in doing it. Since the Jyuuken requires precise chakra control he was achieving this other aspect very well.

“What do you think about my brother, Neji-kun?” asked Itachi. He was standing right beside Neji, on the same tree branch.

“Sasuke-kun is very nice” he said “Don’t you think, Itachi-san?”

“He has never done anything to me” he simple said “Contrary of other personas of the clan…” Itachi whisper this to himself and Neji didn’t heard him very well. Itachi looked down at Neji “Do you like him?”

“Yes, Sasuke-kun is my friend…why?” he answered; Itachi closed his eyes and didn’t replied.

Near the end of the month there was another birthday party. This time it was Sasuke’s. Many of the boy’s classmates were there, not particularly because he wanted them to be but because his mother invited them.

Hinata was there. She was talking, or rather listening, to Haruno Sakura as she screamed at a blonde boy that was running around while Neji was with Sasuke.

“Who is he?” asked Neji, Sasuke looked over his shoulder.

“Oh, his name is Naruto I think. He is in my class but I don’t know him very well. He is loud and annoying and gave me an instant ramen cup as a present” responded Sasuke. Neji sweatdropped “I don’t mind him” he added after a moments “The parents of the other kids make too much of a fuss about him. I don’t get why. I mean, he is an idiot but that’s all” Sasuke nodded to himself.

For some reason, Sakura stared to chase Naruto and Hinata was behind them trying to calm them apparently. Naruto ran passed Sasuke and Neji, Sakura after him, and made Sasuke jump on one foot. But he didn’t count on Hinata running was well and when she passed by him he finally fell. Neji tried to catch him but both ended on the ground, Neji’s arms were wrapped around Sasuke’s neck while said Uchiha was rubbing his head because he hit it.

Before Sasuke could said a thing. Itachi had taken Neji off him. Now the little opal eyed boy was being carry by the waist and Itachi was glaring at his little brother.

“Niisan, put Neji-kun down” Sasuke said while he was standing up and taking off the dust of on cloths. Itachi didn’t move “Niisan!”

“We are going to eat now. Let’s go” Itachi started to walk while Neji was still being carried by the waist. Sasuke pouted and ran after him, taking Neji’s hands. Itachi let go of Neji only to have the boy landing on Sasuke as he fell. “Do I have to carry both of you?” he teased. Neji blushed lightly and Sasuke showed his tongue to his brother.

After get on their feet, both kids walked over the house, just before everyone else. Neji took this opportunity to give Sasuke his gift.

The younger Uchiha opened the box. There was a set of forearm protectors made of a nice white cloth which had blue buckles on them, and another set. This one was like a large black rope but it was made of a hard and flexible material.

“They are a little big for you right now, but I think they’ll fit you in no time” he said. Sasuke nodded and smiled openly to him.

“Thanks a lot, Neji-kun”

In the other room, Itachi was leaned against the wall, his arms folded and his eyes closed. The older Uchiha walked away without a word.

-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --

The autumn’s rains were very common and they normally didn’t affect Neji at all, but that pass week had been different. Itachi had been acting weird lately. Sasuke told him that his brother was suspect of a murder.

Neji didn’t know what to say.

The days passed and it was Sasuke’s turn to be strange; for some reason he apparently forgot that the world around him existed and had been practicing a family jutsu every single day, even under that cold autumn rain.

The rain passed and so the autumn days continued. Neji was training on his own that day. He was near the woods when Itachi found him.

“Itachi-san, what are y—” before he could finish, Itachi placed his hand over the boy’s mouth, took him by the waist and jumped off.

Itachi was wearing some kind of uniform and he had a katana with him. Neji looked at him with his eyes wide open and his hands tried to remove the one covering his mouth.

“No, no, stay still and be patient Neji-kun, I’m going to teach you a very important lesson today…” Neji blinked in confusion. Itachi smirked at him “How to open a cage with no lock”

Itachi arrived to the Uchiha estates and made Neji stand in the corner of a street under the shadows. He instructed him to not move as his black eyes changed into red sharingan.

And so it had begun…

Neji’s hand were trembling, the tried to move but his body didn’t responded him, his hands twitched at the sin that was being committed right in front of his eyes. Itachi glared at him, giving a silent command and he walked slowly to him.

The screams were hurting his ears. He had never seen so much blood before. Neji’s hand slowly moved to cover his mouth, as he moved to follow Itachi. The tears fell from his eyes and down his cheeks while he was dodging the blood pools at his feet.

Men, women, and children. All of them were being slaughter right in front of him and he couldn’t do a single thing.

Not even scream.

Neji’s head turned from where he was looking to a girl running to him. But suddenly she fell and her blood splashed his face and cloths.

He was wearing white.

He was feeling ill. He wanted to throw up the contents of his stomach. He was scared. He wanted to scream. He was helpless. He wanted to call for help.

But he just followed Itachi.

The tears mixed with the blood on his face, falling down his cheeks and onto the ground, into the pools of blood and the cursed reality. When Neji saw the road again, they were in Itachi’s house; his so called mentor took him inside and made him stand in a corner, covered with the shadows.

With his eyes wide open, his voice gone and his shaking body against the wall, he saw how Itachi took the life of his own parents. The blood splashed on the floor and he stayed in the shadows, waiting. The little boy’s breath was caught in his throat. He couldn’t scream. He tried, but his voice and strength were gone.

“Tousan, Kaasan!” Neji’s head turned from the bodies to the door. A couple of tears fell as he recognized the voice.

He tried to move but Itachi’s glare keep him right were he was. His trembling knees almost made him fall. He supported himself against the wall again as Sasuke entered the room.

Itachi walked to his brother, stepping out of the shadows.

“Niisan” the boy’s voice was filled with emotions “Tousan and Kaasan are…” a shuriken passed besides him and his voice died.

Sasuke grabbed his injured arm and looked at Itachi. On the other side of the room, Neji was watching everything; he covered his ears when Sasuke started to scream, but keep his eyes open as his friend fell onto the floor.

“Why?” sobbed Sasuke. Itachi looked at Neji over his shoulder and then at Sasuke.

“Because I wanted to test my abilities…”

Neji heard Sasuke scream. The boy attacked his brother and failed miserable, then Sasuke ran away… and Itachi fallowed him. When Neji was left alone, He collapsed to his knees and looked at himself.

He was covered in blood. Covered in the blood of the fallen Uchiha clan. He had blood all over his clothes, face and hair, as if Itachi directed his attacks to splash him with the blood on propose. His mind was numb… but abruptly:

“Sasuke” he whispered. Neji got up and ran after them.

When he reached the street, Sasuke was falling. He was unconscious. Neji reached him in time to catch him and hugged him. His eyes snapped from Sasuke to Itachi, who was stand right in front of them. His voice was returning, his mind was processing the reality again.

“Why Itachi-san, why!” the little boy cried, holding an unconscious Sasuke close to his chest. Itachi smirked.

“Because I was tired of my cage, Neji-kun” Itachi walked near the boy and kneeled besides him to caress his cheek. The little boy was crying without noticing, his eyes wide open “Did you learned the lesson, Neji-kun?”

“Lesson?...”

“This is how you get out of a cage with no lock, Neji-kun… you destroy the bars” Itachi’s red eyes flashed as he burned the images of what had happened into Neji’s mind.

“But...but…all of them… and Sasuke-kun” Neji hugged Sasuke tightly, fearing for him.

“He has to go too… because he is not strong enough; he can’t stand by on his own”

“No, no, please! He has never done anything to you! You told me that!” the boy sobbed “Please…he can, he can, he is strong! Please don’t take him away too”

“Don’t beg, Neji-kun. It does not suit you” Neji’s eyes narrowed “Instead let’s make an agreement… I’ll leave Sasuke alive and will let him become stronger in exchange for something”

“Agreement?”

“That’s right, I didn’t plan it this way, but it should work the same…”

Neji looked at Sasuke. The boy’s tears had stained his face. He was cold and his arm was bleeding. His cloths were now stained with the blood of Neji’s clothes as he hugged him.

He didn’t wanted Sasuke to die… the opal eyed boy looked at his mentor for a moment and slowly nodded “Very well. Come with me then. I’ll give you the details. Leave Sasuke there”

Neji placed Sasuke on the floor and got up. Itachi took his hand and stared to walk. The opal eyed boy looked over his shoulder at Sasuke until he could not see him anymore. Itachi lifted him of the ground and jumped into the dark night.

“Sasuke-kun…” he whispered as Itachi carried him to an unknown place. A little house outside Konoha.

Itachi entered the abandoned ANBU station and placed Neji over bunch of mattresses, taking the boy’s cloths off as well as his own garment.

“This is going to be the seal of the deal between you and me, Neji…” he whispered, taking Neji into his embrace “Today I’m going to make you mine…”

Neji was crying again, very softly as the older boy finally took off all the thing which covered him. The younger boy didn’t know what was happening as Itachi touched him, making him feel weird.

“After this, you’ll stay here…but I’ll come back for you… and when that happens, you are going to stay with me no matter what. if you agree with this, I’ll let Sasuke live, even if he attacks me later”

Neji remembered Sasuke’s sorrow filled screams. They were too much for him. He remembered all of those people…how Itachi taken away their lives. He couldn’t let the same happen to Sasuke.

“I-I…a-agree”

Itachi smirked as he placed a blindfold over the boy’s eyes. But he knew that even without the cloth covering his eyes, Neji couldn’t see what was going on around him; since the beginning had been that way. Those eyes could see everything… and yet the object of his inspiration was so blind…

He kissed him; his tongue entered the boy’s mouth, taking his breath away for the first time. His hands traveled all over the young body, tasting him for the first time, just as he had wished to do for so long.

Neji felt Itachi’s hand stroking his member. The new and strange sensations were invading him. He had no idea what was going on and he couldn’t stop it. He screamed as Itachi pushed two fingers inside him. He tried to move but the older boy held him in place.

“Ita-a-achi-san… y-you’re h-u-u-rting m-me…”

“Shhhhh. Sorry Neji, but it hurts when you do this the first time. You are going to be mine and this is the only way. Remember our agreement?” Itachi pushed a third finger into the smaller body. Neji’s nails dug into his chest and his pain filled moans and cries were filled the air.

Itachi removed his fingers and lifted the boy up a little, to push him down into his hard erection…Neji let out a sharp cry but Itachi covered his lips with his own. The boy cried even then.

The older boy leaned over, taking Neji with him. He was on top of him, thrusting into him even more, feeling the so desire ecstasy he had be waiting for.

Neji’s cries stopped. He was too tired but Itachi was far from finished. He started to shut his mind, because it was too much… the death of all of those people… the hate and sorrow towards his clan… the betrayal of his mentor…and Sasuke’s sorrow filled eyes… he couldn’t take it.

The last thing he saw was Itachi taking the blindfold off and the magenkyo sharingan in his eyes…

-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --

A single tear fell down Neji’s face in his unconscious state but Itachi didn’t noticed. The sky was getting grey and soon the rain was going to fall.

Neji felt more betrayed than anything. Because he had once he gaven himself up to Itachi to save Sasuke. And just recently Sasuke had hurt him too.

Not very far away from there, Sasuke was running with his team mates in his direction. He needed to find Neji. Before it was too late…

To be continue…

Please don’t hurt me -hides behind the couch-

Neji couldn’t remember everything for a reason, for those who already figured it out. Congratulations! But those who didn’t, I’ll explain that openly later (and Sasuke’s behavior too).

Anyway, this chapter was longer than usual, because I wanted the whole flashback in on chapter. I wish I could make longer chapters always! Anyway… so, back to the Sasuke-tachi in the next one. Thanks for your time and see you later!
