Chapter 13

A Hint of Chains

Shino glanced down at his pocket. His phone was vibrating and beeping softly. He pulled the thing out and flipped it open.

Text Message: [opn dam dor]

Shino sighed as he got up and went to the door of the suite. He was not at all surprised to see Kankurou Sabaku hanging on the door frame with Itachi Uchiha and Gaara Sabaku behind him. "So where's pretty boy?" Kanky asked as he pushed past Shino and headed for the couch against Shino's bedroom wall.

Shino hissed softly. "Neji is sleeping, please be quiet."

Kankurou dropped onto the plush sofa with a grin. "Poor thing, must be tired." He whispered in mock sympathy. "Makes ya' wonder who wore him out and how." He leered and winked for emphasis.

Itachi had already flowed past Shino and taken his normal spot at the other end of the couch Kankurou's couch. "Now you seem as pathetic as my brother." Itachi had not been pleased to hear that Sasuke had gone 'snooping'. It was embarrassing. The boy was obsessed with gossip. Who cares if Hyuuga got some? Itachi didn't care what happened to anyone unless it affected himself or those close to him and Neji Hyuuga was neither.

"He did follow him into the shower." Gaara's raspy, little used voice came from behind Shino. He turned to see his friend still standing outside the door waiting for him to step aside. He did and Gaara Sabaku's commanding presence entered the room.

The red head looked at the mess of books strewn about the couch and floor. The look he gave Shino mirrored the one Neji had given him as well. The comparison seemed odd to Shino. Gaara was his closest friend whereas Neji was a practical stranger. Gaara's strawberry blond eyebrows were so pale that they couldn't really be distinguished against his pale skin, so to say he arched a brow just wouldn't fit, Shino mused.

He shuffled the books out of the way while Itachi and Kankurou turned on the television and the XBOX. Shino had no idea what game they were starting, but he hoped they'd keep noise down for his roommate's sake. Gaara folded himself cross legged on the other end of the couch, pulling Shino's feet into his lap.

This was how they always sat when the four of them were whiling away the hours. Shino was more comfortable in his own suite, so the other three always came to him. He was glad that he and Gaara always sat on the couch against Neji's bedroom wall, because the other two could get rather loud when they were playing their games. Well, actually it was Kanky who got loud. The lovely raven usually spoke in soft almost sensual tones. Itachi looked and moved like some hero straight out of a chick flick.

As if he could sense Shino's appraising eyes upon him, Itachi turned his hazel gaze on the younger man. Itachi's eyes may have been hazel, but in the right light or depending upon his mood those orbs could shift to a dark green almost black or copper, and even at times a deep burnt color, almost red. Shino didn't respond to the look, that alone let Itachi know that he need not concern himself. Itachi nodded in understanding and returned to thrashing a very unhappy Kankurou in the medieval video game they were playing.

"Damn it Itachi. How come when I'm the troll and you're the mage, you kill me with spells, but when it's the other way around you kill me and smash me to bits?!"

"You don't seriously expect me to answer that, do you?" Itachi asked in an amused voice. Kanky just grumbled.

They'd played games and talked, just hanging out for a few hours. Kakaurou was now busy texting his jealous goth boyfriend. He and some guy named Kimimaro Kaguya had met at a party about a week ago and apparently it was lust at first sight. Kimimaro was a singer for some underground goth/emo band. He was also a jealous bastard and so far their resident puppeteer was having a blast pulling the man's strings.

All four of them looked up as a slightly rumpled Neji stepped out of his room to the kitchenette area. They tried not to stare at the stranger in their midst. Neji filled a cup with water and placed it in the microwave. When that was done, he dropped in a tea bag and turned around holding the hot cup carefully as he lounged against the small counter. He regarded the small group absently. Neji was surprised to see Shino's legs stretched out across Gaara's lap. He had to wonder if he had misinterpreted their relationship.

The eldest Uchiha had a thoughtful look on his pretty face as he shifted his attention from Neji to painting his signature dark purple nail polish on the tips of his fingers. Kankurou was enthralled with his cell phone, his fingers flying over the little keypad. When his message was complete, the extravagant man let out atriumphant little 'whoop'. He flipped the phone closed and grinned idiotically as he informed the group, including Neji, "Unlike you losers, 'cept maybe Neji," Kanky gave that man a sly wink. "I'll be getting my brains fucked out tonight!"

Itachi yawned. "So you've incited him, how did you go from him calling you a loose whore to getting laid, or was that somehow the point?" Kankurou stuck his pierced tongue out at the dark haired man.

"I just told him it was fine with me if he never touched me again and he certainly didn't have anything I couldn't live without." He chuckled wickedly. "And that I could get the same thing from any fucking loser."

Neji fought the urge to arch his eyebrow at that, but failed as an elegant brow crept up on it's own.

Kankurou laughed and nodded for emphasis. " 'Parently Kimi intends to show me that I was wrong. I agreed to give him another try." He laughed. He laughed even harder at the slightly disgusted look on Neji's face as the quiet man sipped his tea and turned his head avoiding eye contact with the very odd man.

Shino sat listening to his friend quietly, until Itachi observed. "So you are a loose whore."

Shino gasped quietly, his equivalent of a chuckle. "Itachi. Kankurou." He chided softly, not wanting this to get out of hand in his suite. Gaara of course had not spoken at all. The man was even more reserved than Neji.

Neji finished his tea and was rinsing the cup when his cell phone rang in his pocket. He fished it out and frowned at the number display. "Hello Shizune." He answered quietly. "No." He spoke softly, trying not to disturb the other men. "Yes. I am fine." A sigh escaped his lips and he stifled it as best he could. "No."

Putting the cup in the little roll away dishwasher, he continued to speak to his uncle's personal assistant. "No, that will not be possible. I will be staying on campus most of this week." A pale hand swept through the long hair in tightly contained irritation. "Yes, of course. Tuesday afternoon would be fine." The grip on the phone tightened as he dismissed the irritating woman. "Yes. Thank you Shizune."

Neji closed the phone and looked up at Shino. His cold pale eyes locking onto his roommate's through Shino's tinted glasses. "I do hope you don't mind my being here more than normal, Shino."

"It's your suite Neji." Shino said by way of answer.

Neji smiled almost warmly, his eyes still locked with the younger man's. "No, it's our suite." He moved to the door of his room before almost whispering. "Thank you Shino." Then he disappeared again.

"Jeez! Is he always so fucking pleasant?!"

"Some people behave more civilly than others, Kanky." came Shino's barely breathed reply. This got a reaction out of Gaara.

First the other three heard a negating snort. Then, "Civilized behavior is the cloak that evil hides behind and the chain it uses to control it's slaves." Itachi smiled as he put up his nail polish carefully. Trust Gaara to see to the dark heart of it. Shino shivered, remembering Neji's half of that phone conversation, he had an image of the noble older man shackled and miserable.

"I'm hungry." Kanky whined, purposely making his voice high and nasal, effectively pulling the other three from their deep thoughts. Who needed deep insightful thoughts? Where was the fun in that? They were quickly embroiled in a discussion involving food choices.

Neji left the suite and the campus at five o'clock, dressed in a pair of dark casual slacks and soft gray long sleeved shirt. He hadn't even known he owned any shirts that weren't button up dress shirts. It had to have been a gift from one of his cousins, Hinata or Hanabi. Neji had decided to make a few stops, before picking Nara up.
