Massage VI: Night of the Dead
Part 2: �Together
Again�

Naruto yawned, stretching his arms
high above his head.� He was beginning to
wonder if anybody ever snuck into the creepy cemetery after dark, since he�d
been wandering around the graves for an hour or two already and seen and heard
squat.� The blonde was starting to plan
on finding Shikamaru.� That way he�d at
least have somebody to talk with so he wouldn�t be so friggin� bored.
A frown touched his features at
thinking of his friend and one time lover.�
The Nara hadn�t been the same since Neji passed away; he knew that would
be normal, but it was the way Shikamaru had changed that had everybody worried,
not just the Uzumaki.� Shikamaru had
become so much more distant than before, talking very little and not
participating in much of anything, which was saying something since the Nara
hardly did when Neji was alive.� Shikamaru
was even barely speaking to Chouji, something that not only worried the plump
ninja but also his fianc�.
Naruto blinked a moment.� Perhaps that was why the Nara wasn�t talking
to his once best friend.� He�d heard
about the engagement between Chouji and Ino and was extremely happy for them,
but the word on the street was that Shikamaru had been in the dark about the
entire thing.� As far as the blonde knew,
the Nara found out after the proposal and seemed a bit� disturbed by it.� After which he hardly spoke a single word to
Chouji or Ino and kept mostly to himself within his house, Sai seeming to be
the only lifeline to the world beyond the Academy.
The Akimichi had talked to Naruto
about it, saying that he didn�t want to tell Shikamaru he�d been planning to
ask Ino to marry him because he didn�t want his best friend to feel even worse
than he already did.� Neji and Shikamaru had
been engaged, after all.
Naruto sighed heavily and shook his
head.� All his worrying in the world wasn�t
going to help the Nara and he knew that.�
Making a final decision, the blonde straightened his stance and began
heading toward the Hyuga�s headstone, for that surely was where Shikamaru would
be.� If anything, the blonde just wanted
to be there for his friend, anything to remind him that his friends were still
there and willing to be his comfort if he needed it.
As he started to move down the dirt
path that ran just outside the graveyard, the Uzumaki heard a bit of rustling
in the bushes beside him.� A pleased grin
grew on his fox-like features as he leapt silently into the tree next to the
brush.� �Finally!� he thought.� �It�s about time I get to jump some kids.�
�Where�s the damn trail?!� a male
voice said frustratingly as the bushes moved a bit more forcefully.
Naruto had to suppress the chuckle
that wanted to erupt from his throat.� �All right!� It�s
an adult!� Maybe a good scare is what
this bozo needs on Halloween night.� �He silently reached into his holster and
carefully pulled out a kunai.
The man burst from the leaves with
a final grunt and a pleased sigh.� �Here
it is!�
The Uzumaki had only a fraction of
a second to notice the similar blonde hair atop the man�s head before jumping
down from the tree branch, tackling the man down to the ground, who yelped in
surprise, and Naruto straddled his waist.�
�This is sacred ground!� Naruto shouted, feeling important and
proud.� �What do you think you�re�?�� His question died on his lips as his eyes finally
focused on the face of the man lying beneath him.
Blue eyes widened and his kunai
slipped from his fingers to dig itself harmlessly into the soil.� Naruto blinked several times, heart starting
to pound madly in excitement and disbelief.�
�You�re�.�

~~~~~

Shikamaru struggled to keep his
knees from buckling as he continued to gaze at his dead lover, standing only a
few feet in front of him.� He released a
heavy breath and covered his face within shaking hands.� His dark eyes stung with tears, but he
refused to let them fall, not now.� He
breathed heavily for a few minutes, trying to calm his racing heart and
overflowing emotions.� Now was not the
time to freak out.
Slowly, his brain started functioning
again and the Nara calmly removed his hands from his face, giving the man
before him a cold glare.
White chocolate eyes blinked and a
slender eyebrow rose.� �Shikamaru?� he
asked in that silky voice he�d missed so much.
Shikamaru lightly growled.� �Stop it!�
This isn�t funny, Naruto!� Drop
the transformation!�
Neji
blinked for several moments before chuckling.�
�You don�t believe I�m real, Shikamaru?�
The Nara rolled his eyes.� �Of course you�re real, Naruto.� The
Neji act isn�t.� Nothing can bring the
dead back to life, not even a full moon on Halloween; it�s nothing more than a
myth.� So knock it off!�
The slightly taller man ran
delicate fingers through his long hair.� �I
guess it would be hard for you to believe.�
It is true that Naruto Uzumaki could transform into me and could
probably do a decent job of acting like the real Neji Hyuga, but�� he took the
few steps separating them to stand only a foot away from the Nara, �there is
one thing even the talented Naruto could not duplicate.�� With a beautiful smile on his face, the paler
man gently grabbed one of Shikamaru�s wrists and placed his hand upon the Hyuga�s
chest.
Immediately Shikamaru�s eyes
widened.� He moved his appendage around
the upper part of the other man�s chest, trying to feel beneath the soft fabric
against his skin.� When that failed, he
did the next thing he could think of.� Shikamaru
quickly bent down and placed his ear against the solid torso before him.� He held his breath and silently counted the
seconds as they passed around them soundlessly.
After about a minute, the Nara
slowly pulled away and released a shaky sigh.�
There was no way Naruto could pull that off, he doubted anybody
could.� The man before him was breathing,
slowly but still taking in air, and was standing on his own, moving and using
his body, however�.� �No heart beat,� Shikamaru
whispered, shocked dark eyes looking up into white chocolate orbs.� �No pulse.�
The paler man chuckled again.� �Well, I�m already dead, Shikamaru.� That�s one thing I will never have again.�
Tears pooled in his dark orbs as he
threw himself at the Hyuga, tightly wrapping his arms around the other�s neck
and burying his face against a strong shoulder.�
�Neji!�
The deceased shinobi gently wrapped
his own arms around the Nara and held him close.
Shikamaru pulled back a bit to
press his lips against the soft ones of his lover, whimpering softly at how his
heart seemed to skip a beat.� A hot
tongue slid into his willing mouth and the shadow wielder clung desperately to
Neji, fearful that he might vanish at any moment.
The Hyuga left his love�s mouth a
moment later and carefully wiped away the tears streaming down Shikamaru�s
cheeks.
The Nara released a choked sob and
hid his face against the older ninja�s neck.�
�I missed you� so much.�
�Shhh,�
Neji cooed, trying to sooth his lover by rubbing his back and gently rocking
him within his embrace.� �It�s okay, Shikamaru.�
I�m here now.�
A comforting warmth surrounded Shikamaru
as he released a shaky sigh.� The love of
his life was back in his arms and he could hardly believe it.� �It
must be a dream,� he thought, tightening his grasp on the Hyuga and
silently wishing he would never wake.� �Don�t
leave me,� he found himself whispering against his lover�s neck.� �Please, please don�t leave�.�
�I won�t,� Neji immediately
answered, one warm hand rising to cup the back of the
Nara�s head.� �I�m not going anywhere for
a while, Shikamaru.� Calm down, love; it�s
all right.�
The shadow wielder took long,
steadying breaths before pulling back just a little to look into the white
chocolate eyes shining warmth and comfort toward him.� �I have
him,� his mind whispered.� �I have Neji again� even if for a short
while.�� Somewhere in the back of his
mind, Shikamaru knew his lover would not be staying here forever.� Neji was dead and, based on all the stories
he�d heard when he was a child, his lover would probably be leaving him at
dawn.
The realization made the Nara move
his eyes away to gaze at the sky.� �Sunrise?�
he asked quietly.
Neji leaned in to gently nuzzle his
love�s cheek.� �Sunrise,� he confirmed
softly, breathing into Shikamaru�s ear.� �But
that�s a ways off right now.�� He licked
his lover�s earlobe with his hot, wet tongue, eliciting a delectable moan from
the other man.
Shikamaru instinctively tilted his
head to the side, giving the technically older man more room as he nipped
lovingly at his neck and jaw.� Their lips
met again in a steamy kiss that sent ripples of pleasure running up the shadow
wielder�s spine as tongues tangled together.
His love was right; morning was
still a long way off and they needed to make the most of what little time they
did possess.� He moaned into the Hyuga�s
mouth, lightly thrusting his hips as a warm hand cupped his buttocks.� Those soft lips moving sensually on his own
was all Shikamaru really needed to make his arousal start growing.
Neji pulled away, his beautiful
eyes clouding over with lust as he gazed at the Nara, who was slightly panting
with flushed cheeks.� His other pale hand
rested on Shikamaru�s face, and he instantly nuzzled the appendage.� Neji leaned in close, their lips only millimeters
apart, as he whispered in a breathless tone, �I want you to take me.�

~~~~~

�Hello, Naruto.�
Naruto immediately backed off the
man he�d tackled to stand wide-eyed several feet away.� �Y-y-you�re�� he stuttered as the man he
recognized slowly got to his feet.� �You�re
him!� Th-the�!�� He stuck his hand out and pointed frantically
to the Hokage Monument, just barely visible over the trees.� �I-i-it�s you!�
The man Naruto knew was supposed to
be dead chuckled, deep azure eyes following his finger before giving the
shocked ninja a sheepish smile.� �Yes, Naruto.� I�m the
Fourth Hokage.�
The Uzumaki blinked.� �How do you know my name?!�
He chuckled again.� �Who doesn�t know the mighty Naruto
Uzumaki?� The greatest
prankster and the number one knucklehead ninja of Konoha.�
Naruto blushed even as a scowl
touched his features.� �That was a long
time ago!� he practically shouted.� �I�m
a ninja now, a jonin as a matter of
fact, and I deserve to be treated like one!�
�Okay, okay!� the Fourth relented,
holding his hands up in front of him.� �I�m
sorry; I didn�t mean to offend you.�� His
eyes gazed up at the monument once more.�
�I must admit, though,� he whispered, �whoever carved my face didn�t do
a real good job at it.�
Naruto kept his own orbs upon the
dead ninja as the other looked around.� �I knew it!� he celebrated within his
mind.� �I knew it was possible on Halloween; take that Shikamaru!�� As he continued to stare at the Hokage a
strange pool of emotion began to swirl within his chest.� The Uzumaki scowled in confusion.� What was this?� It made him feel� happy, yet sad at the same
time and a single word kept echoing itself within his mind as the feeling
grew.� He didn�t understand; the word
made absolutely no sense!
�You okay, Naruto?�
The Uzumaki blinked and lightly
shook his head, trying to clear it.� �Uh, yeah� mister Fourth� sir.�
A blonde brow rose on the Hokage�s
forehead.� �Good.� Would you like to walk with me for a while?�
he asked, striding up to Naruto with a smile.
The living ninja nodded
enthusiastically.� �Of
course, sir Fourth� sir.�
The Fourth rolled his eyes as they
began down the trail.� �Man that�s a lot
more annoying than I remember it.� You
can call me Minato; that whole �Fourth Hokage� stuff gets a little irritating.�
Naruto walked at his side.� �All right� Minato.�� The feeling within his chest grew at voicing
the name and a hint of worry shot through his mind as the word would not back
away.

A/N: Before any of you ask; NO this is not
going to be a NaruMinato story.� I may be a pervert, but I�m not that much of
a pervert.� Thanks for reading and please
