�A Distant Cry�

By Yersi Fanel

(Beta, NayanRoo)
Chapter 13: His resentment
Neji ran through the forest, Hidan and
Kakuzu at his sides and a little ahead of him. Hidan looked over his shoulder
and blinked several times, then jumped next to Kakuzu and the other Akatsuki
looked at him with his bored expression.
�What do you want?� he asked a little
annoyed.
�Remind me why we have to bringing the
brat with us to look for the Jinchuuriki.� said Hidan and Kakuzu growled at him.
�Our mission is to bring the boy
to Kumogakure and make sure to take him back,� said Kakuzu �We�re not attacking
the Nibi no Jinchuuriki right now and you know it, don�t play the fool Hidan, it
annoys me like your good-for-nothing religion�
Hidan glared at him. Kakuzu was that
way; he only did not give a hoot about Hidan�s religion but agreed to help him
once in a while because the subject brought him money, Hidan had learned to deal
with him pretty well too and lately he had gotten into the habit of pissing off
Kakuzu.
�You better do a good job, brat,� said
Hidan looking over his shoulder to Neji, who only stared at him �Jashin only
allows the right work and total destruction, we�re committing a sin by not doing
any of that in this mission but since it�s a small step to the conquer of our
goal, Jashin may have mercy��
Kakuzu rolled his eyes; he, contrary to
the other Akatsuki members, had patience for Hidan�s slow style of attacking,
speeches and fanatic-religion arguments but still despise them. He only cared
about money after all. Neji normally just ignored what Hidan said � even if in
their trainings Hidan�s methods to make him listen were a bit too painful. Neji
just pretended to actually listen to Hidan and stayed out of Kakuzu�s way, it
was easier this way.
Now they were heading to Kumo no Sato.
The main mission was for Neji to make the proper Houki Jutsu for the
Jinchuuriki of Nibi no Nekomata. Hidan and Kakuzu were to take him there and,
after he finished his mission, bring him back to Sir Leader.
Neji was concentrating only in his
mission, but he couldn�t entirely feel steady with the situation, after all,
they were heading to the village whose people were the cause of his father�s
sacrifice.
�Focus Neji.�
He heard the Leader whisper to him, Neji closed his eyes and jumped faster and
higher to keep up with Hidan and Kazuku.
�Yes, Leader-sama.�
�You are close to your target, focus
in your mission and your mission only, it is time��
Sir Leader was more than pleased with the Hyuuga�s first performance and was
looking forward for the ones to come, even if he had to remain with the boy to
keep his mind on his task every once in a while.
It had been some time since Neji was
under Sir Leader�s training, and even if finding the Jinchuuriki had taken more
time than expected, they still were working ahead of schedule. Sir Leader was
pleased with that fact.
Now was the turn of Nibi no Nekomata to
have a face off with Akatsuki�s Link.

Itachi was sitting on his bed looking at
the drawing book in front of him. He was wondering had drove him to keep the
object; the sketch book originally belongs to Deidara who got rid of it saying
that drawing wasn�t his kind of art, Itachi had just extended his hand and said
nothing; Deidara blinked in confusion and gave him the sketch book, not wanting
to cause Itachi�s rage of something of the kind if he asked him his reasons for
wanting it.
�So, Itachi-san, you like to draw?�
Itachi just blinked at Deidara�s question, the blonde sighed. Sometimes it was
really boring to be with Itachi. The rock-nin then remembered his conversation
with Sasori about Itachi�s interest and his mind formulate and idea. He just
wanted to see if Itachi could really draw so it was going to be easy and if it
was not, then he was not going to get too hurt from his dare.
�Ne, ne. Itachi-san,� Deidara showed his
grin �Make a drawing of Neji-chan.� he said �Sasori-danna once told me that
Neji-chan�s eyes could not be caught in his art or mine as good as they can in
drawing, come on, I want to see that art.�
The Uchiha prodigy knew that Deidara was
going to bug him about the issue for a long time, and he was not in the mood�
but he actually wanted to draw so, he opened the sketch book and took a carbon
crayon piece that Deidara gave him with the book and started a new drawing.
Since they were in what could be called
the common room of the hideout, the other members passed by his side more than
once. Deidara�s attention was caught by the motion of Itachi�s hand while making
the picture, the blonde shinobi stayed there sitting on the couch at the
opposite side and just watched the fluid movements of Itachi�s hand.
Tobi arrived along with Zetsu, the grass
Shinobi ignored both of them and went straight to his chamber while Tobi stayed
and sat beside Deidara. The masked man tried more than once to ask Deidara what
was Itachi doing but the rock shinobi only waved his hand to motion him to shut
up.
Itachi stopped and looked at his
drawing. It was not complete but the scrap was good enough. Not capable of
holding in his curiosity any longer, Deidara practically jumped behind Itachi to
see the drawing.
�Sugoi, Itachi-san!� with a quick move
Deidara took the book from Itachi�s and to look at it closely, Itachi glared at
him but the blonde did not noticed, he was too busy watching Itachi�s art. Tobi
ran besides Deidara to look at the picture as well.
The sketch was of Neji as the blonde
shinobi suggested. The younger boy was sitting on the rock floor and he was
wrapped in bandages, and only that, which played the part of bondages, tiding
him to the non existing ends of the picture, his long hair was falling around
him like a curtain and over his eyes was Itachi�s trade mark detail for him: the
blindfold.
Deidara was too occupied catching the
details that he did not notice when Itachi got up and stood before him. The
Uchiha took the book back with a rapid movement and gave Deidara an ice glare,
the blonde pouted. Itachi was very good at drawing but contrary of Deidara and
Sasori, his art was just to himself, Deidara thought that was a waste of
good talent to not show your works, especially when they were good.
Itachi took his brand new book and left
the room. He still wanted to keep drawing; he just wanted to do it alone.
The blonde shinobi watched Itachi go.
Tobi�s gaze went from Itachi to Deidara, who was smirking like if he had just
fond something he was looking for since long time.
�Art is a bang,� the blonde folded his
arms �In a lot of ways��

--* - - - * - - - * - - - * - - - * - - - *-- --* - - - * - - - * - - - * - - -
* - - - *--
�We found the Jinchuuriki,� said Kakuzu.
Neji, who was sitting on the branch of a tree nodded at him �Is a blonde girl
named Nii Yugito.� informed the man. Hidan jumped besides him and pat him hard
on the head.
�Do your job, brat.� Kakuzu saw Neji�s
face of disgust when Hidan touched him and sighed. His partner just liked to
annoy the younger shinobi because Neji refused to listen about his god.
Even if Kakuzu didn�t want to admit it,
their plans wouldn�t be the same if Neji was not there to play his part. The
waterfall shinobi clutched his teeth in frustration.
�Hidan, leave him alone,� order Kakuzu
wit a small tone of anger in the voice. Hidan rolled his eyes and let go of Neji,
the younger boy got up and looked at Kakuzu �Neji, just go, we don�t have all
day.�
He did not think it twice; Neji jumped
off the tree and ran to the village to look for the Nibi no Jinchuuriki. Twenty
minutes passed and Neji reached a training ground at the other side of the
village, there he found a blonde girl sitting on a log, looking at the sky.
Neji used Byakugan to see at the girl�s
chakra and found, with no surprise, that she was the Jinchuuriki of the Two
Tailed Demon, Nekomata.
�I was expecting someone older, to be
honest.� said the teen. Since Neji had let his target see him, he was not
surprised when Yugito felt his presence, the boy walked near her and waited.
Yugito stood up and took a fighting stance, her cat-alike eyes opened with a
feral expression and a hint of intimidation in them, but as soon as her gaze was
focus in Neji�s ivory eyes she dropped her stance almost immediately, looking at
Neji in confusion.
The young nin was not sure what was
wrong with Yugito, but Neji didn�t move his fighting stance, waiting for the
Cloud-nin to do her move. But it seemed like the moment was not coming at all.
�Dear God, you�� she whispered �You are
a Hyuuga, aren�t you?�
�What does it concern to you?� was
Neji�s reply, this eyes fixed in Yugito�s and his senses focus in the battle.

�Nekomata is right,� she said more to
her than Neji �We can�t escape from the consequences of our mistakes that
easily.�
Neji saw that Yugito�s chakra was
changing and now she was surrender by the purple glowing chakra of Nibi no
Nekomata, the Bijuu with the form of a female black cat and the power to kill.
�Why are the Hyuuga sending someone
now?� She asked, taking her fighting stance once again �The death of that
man is history; I cannot repair that mistake just like you cannot bring back the
Cloud-nin your people took from us, just forget it.�
Neji closed his eyes and gritted his
teeth, his anger was rising with every word Yugito said, she had no right to
talk about his father, even if she had no idea that Hyuuga Hizashi�s legacy was
the one attacking her.
�You�� Neji�s voice was hard, he lifted
his head, showing his sorrow mixed with hate eyes, the tears on the corners of
them almost made Yugito flinch ��have no idea how much pain your people
caused me.�
Neji�s hand moved in a fast combination
of hand seals, his chakra was rising with every second. �How much I suffered
since my father was taken away from me, how many mistakes I made because of my
anger towards my own family, how much hate consumed me since the day your
good-for-nothing Leader decided to kidnap my cousin,�
�Kidnap your cousin? What are you
talking about?� Yugito took a fighting stance again, paying all her attention to
the Hyuuga in front of her.
�The Cloud wanted to kidnap our heiress
when she was still a child; Hiashi-sama saved her, killing the Cloud-nin,
your former military leader, in the processes. And what happened next? You
asked for the death of our Clan Head and if you request was not fulfilled, a war
would have explode.� Neji said with all the hate he didn�t know he had. His
naturally blue chakra was mixing with a hint of red, coming from the deep of his
heart.
��My father died for the sake of my
village, but I lost not just him that day! I grew up hating my own family for
god�s sake� my almost-sister�everything!� Neji�s rage took the best of him, he
attacked Yugito without thinking, and the Cloud-nin was just defending herself,
not understanding what was going on.
Neji jumped and did a series of hand
seals in the air. �But no more, I moved on�� he whispered to himself, trying to
calm down.
The young boy felt a shock of alien
energy growing inside him.
�This resentment has been inside you
for too long, Neji.� Sir Leader�s voice echoed in
his head, Neji�s eyes were half closed and he was listening to the voice talking
to him �Let it out, use it as the fuel of your next move, come on Neji��
Opal eyes looked at the sky, madness fading only to be replaced by confusion
along with sorrow �No more Neji, no more holding back; do it...do it NOW!�
Yugito jumped to follow Neji and when he
reached his high he found those opal eyes on her, totally focused and ready to
strike. Neji�s hand moved fast but for Yugito it was almost like slow motion,
they ended on a hand seal and the blinding bright light hit her, covering with a
barrier as Neji performer another series of hand seals, closed his eyes and
waited.
The scenario changed, he was now in the
middle of a dark forest covered in mist, the trees� wood was deep grey and the
leaves played with shades of black on them. Neji looked over a clear space; at
the back was an enormous cave covered with branches and leaves, on the entrance,
strong bars raised from the ground to the ceiling and a tag with the word �seal�
cold be seen in the middle of the cage.
Behind it, Nekomata was peacefully
sitting, moving her two tails around while watching the opal eyed boy.
�So much has been taken from you,
little one,� Nekomata rose from the ground and
nuzzled the bars holding her to her cage �But taking my Jinchuuriki�s life is
not going to give you a thing back.�
Neji stood in front of Nekomata�s cage
and looked at the female demon�s glowing eyes �I�m not taking her life; I�m not
going to lower myself to senseless revenge.�
�So much grief can bee seen in your
eyes, little one.� Nekomata sighed �But you
don�t hold back that hate anymore, so, where does this rage comes from, little
one? Are you fighting or the one taking over?� Nekomata smirked, she knew
what was Neji doing and new that from her spot, behind a seal, she couldn�t stop
him, but the Two Tailed demon couldn�t help but mock the boy in front of her.

�� Neji jumped and closed his eyes once
again �Houki: Yami no Hana!�
Yugito was sitting one a tree near the
cage, looking at the scene. Nekomata fell into a deep slumber after Neji
finished the binding jutsu. The boy disappeared from Yugito�s landscape, leaving
the woman alone. She jumped in front of the cage and reached behind the bars of
the cage to caress on of Nekomata�s ears, the demon did not feel a thing.
Yugito watched over the grey sky. �So
many mistakes, so many regrets, and I couldn�t do a single thing to comfort him,
not even keep my thoughts to myself.� she whispered, she, the young woman
caressed Nekomata�s sleeping form again and sighed �You were right, escape from
your mistakes only makes to moment of confrontment harder.�
In the real world, Yugito�s unconscious
body was laying on the trunk she originally was sitting on, while Neji was
looking at her with a plain expression. The Hyuuga boy soon reached his limit
and fainted, but he was caught by Kakuzu just before his body was about to hit
the ground.
Kakuzu lifted to boy and threw him over
his shoulder. Hidan looked at Yugito with a bored expression. �Hidan, let�s go.�
Kakuzu commanded. Hidan moved without saying a thing and both Akatsuki members
left Kumogakure.
Neji shifted uncomfortably in Kakuzu�s
hold more than once but the missing-nin ignored him and kept his pace at running
with Hidan at his side.

�Lay him there,� Sir Leader pointed to
the stone table in the center of the room and Kakuzu did as toll �Leave.� Hidan
and Kakuzu just looked at their leader; Kakuzu turned around and walked away
while Hidan gritted his teeth at Sir Leader before do as command.
Sir Leader moved closer and kneeled in
front of the stone table, while performing a rapid and long series of hand
seals. When he reached the last one, the symbols surrendering the stone table
glowed in green.
Neji eyes snapped open and his face was
caught in a silent scream, his hands move from his sides to his head, he held it
hard while kicking and shifting in pain on the table. Sir Leader did another
series of hand seals and the symbol�s glow faded. Neji�s breath was coming in
short puffs and hiccups, his eyes were half open but he was not looking at
anything in particular, just facing forward at the ceiling.
�You did a good work today, Neji.� From
the corner of his eyes, Neji caught the movement of the Leader�s hands and he
felt a strong pressure on his chest. He moved his hand to clutch his shirt in a
failed attempt of lower the pain �The time is coming; we will soon reach the
moment when everything is going to start�� Neji closed his eyes; he could hear
the sharp voices that were not his own around him, whispering, �There�s no
turning back.�
Unconsciousness finally took over him,
just in time as Sir Leader ended the short ceremony. He stood up and looked over
Neji.
�Zetsu.� he called and the grass shinobi
appeared from the shadows of the room �Take him to Itachi.�
�Yes sir.�

--* - - - * - - - * - - - * - - - * - - - *-- --* - - - * - -
- * - - - * - - - * - - - *--
Itachi was drawing again, his mind was
lost in tracking the time when Neji was going to come back to him, and hopefully
it wouldn�t be for much longer.
He wasn�t sure why but he needed to be
with Neji, keep an eye on him.
His normally dreamless nights were long
gone, since almost a month he had been dreaming about his past, his brother and
Neji. Itachi disliked dreaming and this was not helping at all.
He held the carbon crayon he was using
too tight and finally broke it.
�Itachi-san.� Called a voice, he looked
over his shoulder to find Zetsu looking at him �Leader-san commands you to pick
up Neji-kun.�
Without saying a word he stood up and
went out of the room to Sir Leader�s training area. Neji was laid on the stone
table in the middle of the room, he was covered in cold sweat and breathing in
short lapses.
Itachi picked him up and went to the
room they shared.

Sasuke had a satisfaction smirk on his
face; he was playing with a rotten piece of scroll with his left hand while he
supported his head on his right. He had found so much information and now was
time to make serious plans.
�Sasuke-kun.� It was Orochimaru, the
young man looked over his shoulder and just like he thought, he found the Snake
Sannin at the door �What are you doing?�
�Nothing important, at least, no more.�
He said, the smirk on his face was rather weird to see yet Orochimaru found the
gesture interesting �I just finish some research, so�� Sasuke threw the rotten
scroll aside and looked at Orochimaru straight in the eye �Train me. I have to
be strong, come on Orochimaru; I don�t have time to lose.�
Now was Orochimaru�s turn to smirk, he
had no idea what Sasuke was thinking, yet it didn�t matter to him. The boy was
actually cooperating again and that alone was enough.
�As you wish.� Orochimaru walked away
�Tomorrow morning I�m going to resume your training.�
�Yeah...� Sasuke was not looking at him;
his gaze was on the rotten scroll on his bed. The young Uchiha took the piece of
paper and read it once again, every time the ancient words reached it�s meaning
in his brain, his smirk grow winder.
Sasuke had made a decision. He was going
to keep training under Orochimaru�s supervision for a while. But when the time
was right he was going to take Orochimaru�s Akatsuki ring and go for his final
face-off against Itachi.
In his desire to find forgiveness for
his past mistakes he was going to risk his life, he knew that, after all,
Orochimaru wanted his body as his new vessel. But knowing that if he did not
risked a thing he wouldn�t find his answer, he took the pat he was on at the
moment.
When the time came, he was going to
fight, run and not look back, not for revenge but for redemption.
Neji was waiting for him, after all.

--* - - - * - - - * - - - * - - - * - - - *-- --* - - - * - -
- * - - - * - - - * - - - *--
Neji was on the bed, deep in an
artificial slumber, while Itachi was sitting beside him playing with the younger
boy�s hair. The Uchiha lay completely on the bed and moved Neji to embrace him.
The younger boy�s eyes opened slowly and with great effort.
�Itachi-san?� he asked, almost like a
whisper.
Itachi�s right hand was supporting
Neji�s head, slowly tracing circles on the back of his neck and playing with the
dark brown locks of long hair of the boy beneath him. Neji was feeling so weak
at the moment and Itachi�s delicate touch only drove him into a not comforting
but welcome peaceful moment.
�T-they are� strong,� Neji said. The
older boy looked at him in a slight confusion. He just kissed Neji�s closed eyes
and held him tight. �I-tachi�san.�
�Hush,� he said calmly. �Just relax.�
Itachi kissed his lips tenderly while
laying him on the bed. His hands partially removed Neji�s clothes, while kissing
him, his lips then down his neck to his chest and abdomen; he smiled when Neji�s
muscles contracted against the touch in slight reaction.
Neji was feeling Itachi�s soft touch
with a hint of guilt inside him, yet the nagging voice on the back of his head
told him to give up. After all, he was there by his own choice.
It had been a year.
Time went so fast, it had been a year
since he arrived with Itachi to Akatsuki, a year since he turned his back to his
home village and made a silent promise to himself. He was not sure if his
decision was correct, yet it didn�t matter anymore.
He held back a gasp when Itachi�s hand
reached under his pants and grabbed his manhood. His cheeks were completely
flushed, he moved his head to look at Itachi, he was supporting himself on his
elbow and touching Neji with his free hand. Itachi moved to stop touching Neji
and kissed him again, then whisper into his ear.
�When was the last time I touched you
like this?�
Neji wasn�t sure; it had been months
since the other man was with him. His body was trembling. Itachi was just too
good, he could make him feel whatever he wanted, Neji felt at his mercy every
time he looked at him. And with his hands on him, it was almost impossible to
do anything.
It went without mention that Neji wasn�t
allowed to go against Itachi�s wishes.
The Uchiha was enjoying every second of
the current moment. Neji�s partially nude body was flushed with a soft red
color, his breathing was becoming erratic and hard, he looked perfect.
His hands moved fast and precise, until
he had stripped Neji of all his clothes. The younger man was holding onto the
sheets and fighting to keep his eyes open.
Itachi placed wet kisses on the younger
man�s neck again; his hand was skillfully driving Neji to his climax. Neji
closed his eyes; Itachi was holding one of his legs with one hand to prevent him
from closing them.
Neji held a scream inside his throat as
he reached his peak.
After a few moments and some deep
breaths, Neji went completely numb on Itachi�s hold; Itachi�s eyes were closed,
then used the sheets to remove the warm liquid on his hand while holding the
younger man on his embrace. He placed a kiss on Neji�s forehead and gently laid
him on the bead.
He stood up and took a clean sheet and
covered his exhausted young companion with it. Neji was driven into sleep once
again too soon. Itachi didn�t mind, he just sat on a chair next to the bed and
watched the boy sleep.
The Uchiha moved from his spot to the
desk at the corner of the room and fixed his gaze on his most recent drawing.
He had finished just a few minutes before he was summoned to take Neji with
him.
In his picture, Neji was sitting on the
edge of a cliff, eyes closed and his face showing a blank expression. He was
holding the blindfold on his hand and behind him was Sasuke�s blurry frame.
Itachi wasn�t sure what drove him to
draw that. He took the piece of paper and put it in a drawer, trying to forget
about it.
His worries about the picture faded when
his ears caught Neji�s voice. He was talking in his sleep and Itachi wondered
what bad dream was haunting the boy to bring nightmares in his current state of
weakness.
Itachi lay down next to Neji and held
him against his chest, the boy stopped moving but his face was not calm.
�What kind of Omen is this?�

To be continued�

As you can see, I�m reaching a very
important part of the story, but don�t worry, and not going to go one by one
with the Jinchuurikis, after all, we want to see more SasuNeji action, right? Of
course we do� Anyway, next chapter is going to have an important time skip!
