Being a Yazkuza's Bride

Chapter 10: Shot



It was late when Neji pulled his car in front of his condo. A heavy sigh left him as he shut off the engine and leaned back into the soft upholstery wearily. The day had been interesting to say the least; he had enjoyed himself, but in the end he had not fulfilled his objective. He couldn't kill Uzumaki Naruto.



He raised his arm to rub away the tired sting in his eyes, and then looked up at the night sky. It was a clear night, yet all the stars were obscured by the orange barf glow of the city. He guessed however that it was his destiny to be kept so far away from the things he liked; he had no choice but to live this existence. After all, he had to find out who murdered his father.



Slowly he reached for the key that automatically opened the garage and drove inside, locking up the car and putting on the security, before going through another door that led inside the building. He was just outside his front room; as he leaned down to slip off his shoes, the light suddenly came on.



"Did you enjoy your day, Hyuuga?"



The raven stopped in mid-action; he looked up and saw a pink-haired woman sitting in his lounge chair. She wore a strapless black dress that came down just over her thighs, and high stiletto shoes framing her petite feet. She smirked down at him with her crimson lips, make-up caked on her roundish face making her green eyes glow eerily. The devil's face in his opinion.



"Sakura," he said with an edge in his voice.



"You didn't kill him," she stated. Neji noticed how her sharp manicured fingers dug into the leather upholstery of the chair.



"I didn't have the chance-"



"Don't bullshit me Hyuuga, I know you had plenty of opportunities… don't tell me you're starting to like that little faggot?"



Neji didn't reply to her obvious taunt. "Have you been keeping tabs on me?"



"Well someone needs to make sure that you will do your job," she replied, her green eyes flashing with anger.



"Then I'll get it done when I'm good and ready."



Sakura growled; she sprang out of her seat and stormed towards him as quickly as her high heels would allow. "Don't fuck with me Hyuuga, I want this done by tomorrow, I want that faggot gone!" she shrieked, grabbing onto his collar.



Neji couldn't help but smirk. "What, are you afraid that Naruto will corrupt your precious Sasuke even more?"



She growled and gave him a hard shove. "Don't mention him in context with that little freak!"



The raven smirked and straightened out his clothes.



Sakura huffed, then a smirk formed on her face. "Listen here Hyuuga, if you don't get this done, you can be sure that the police will get some very interesting tip-offs regarding you."



Neji turned to glare at her. "Are you threatening me, Sakura?" it wasn't really a question. He knew that as his benefactor, she held a lot of power over him; but unknowingly he had power over her as well. "Don't forget that it was your card that I used to get into the club, and I'm sure the Uchiha already thinks that you're involved, you wouldn't want to get your Daddy into trouble now would you?"



The pink-haired girl gritted her teeth together in anger. "Get it done Hyuuga, or I'll get someone else to clean up this mess!" she shouted and stormed out of his condo.



Neji sighed as he watched her go; this meant there were more problems for him. In one night he made so many mistakes, not only had he let his target live… but he had also gotten close to him as well. Now there was emotion involved; he couldn't even look at the blonde without his heart beating the two-step. It was because Naruto was so endearing, sweet, kind, with a past similar to him, yet so different. It was obvious that he was smitten.



And if he didn't do it, it would mean that Sakura would just hire someone else to finish off the job. He couldn't let that happen.



Another sigh left him as he slumped in his lounge chair, resting his head in his hands. How was he meant to do this now?



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO



Naruto whistled a merry tune as he dried off a set of cut glasses and set them up on the shelf. He was unusually upbeat after yesterday's date; who'd have known going out with a guy would have been this fun? It was different from going out with a girl; he liked the idea that it was someone else 'taking care' of him, and wasn't demanding like girls usually were.



"You're looking well today," said Suigetsu as he put down his tray on the counter and handed Naruto the order sheet.



"Well, I'm feeling pretty good today."



"Ah, you got laid!" he said with a toothy grin.



Naruto blushed and spluttered, almost dropping the glass in his embarrassment. He took a deep breath, set the glass down on the shelf and trained a harsh glare on the still-grinning man.



"I didn't get laid, Suigetsu…" he muttered back.



"Well, then you need to get laid," Suigetsu replied.



"Who needs to get laid?" came Sai's voice.



"Naruto."



"I DON'T NEED TO!" he shouted back.



"Hm, you sound stressed, I think you do need to get laid," he said with his usual overly sweet smile.



The blonde growled and slammed Suigetsu's order down on his tray, before snatching Sai's order.



"Ooh, definitely sexually frustrated."



Naruto finally had enough. "Go away!" he shouted, and glared at the two idiots scampering way.



"Tough day?" Haku asked, standing beside him.



Naruto snorted at the question. "It wasn't before those two started bugging me."



"Ah, don't mind them," the effeminate man replied as he wiped down the counter. "You got bigger problems; the boss ain't so happy today."



"When is he ever happy?" he murmured back.



"Well in fact, his mood got worse after you accepted that little 'date' from a certain man…"



Naruto clenched the rag in his hand. "Well, he has no reason to be angry about that does he now, it wasn't like anything was going on between us."



Haku turned to look at the blonde; no matter how determined his voice sounded, his body language said so many other things. With his shoulders slumped over it seemed like a heavy weight was resting on them, and his vibrant blue eyes seemed dull. There was also a slight pinched look between his brows, as if he was debating through some painful thoughts.



Haku knew that no matter how much Naruto said that he didn't care, he was thinking the complete opposite. Yet his stubbornness was getting in the way of thinking clearly.



But he left him with his thoughts; he knew he couldn't change Naruto's mind.



The blonde himself was thinking along the same lines. When he heard that Sasuke drunk himself dead because of him, it made him feel even more confused. Why would Sasuke do something like that? Was the man pining over him?



Then he snorted at his silly thoughts; as if that could happen. That teme probably just got really bored and started drinking.



Then again he got quiet and started thinking back to the time in the changing room. "Don't mistake my intentions."



What the hell was that meant to mean? 'Don't mistake my intentions'- what kind of bastardly thing was that to say?



Was that meant to mean that beyond getting played he shouldn't look any further? That the tentative gentle and rough touches meant nothing? That is was all nothing but a bloody game?



"Naruto."



The blonde snapped out of his reverie; he looked beside him and saw the nervous features marring Haku's face. He followed the other gaze back towards his hands, and gasped when he noticed that the rag in his hands was almost stretched and torn to shreds. He dropped the cloth like it burned him and took a step back.



"I-I'm going to take a break…" he stuttered and pushed past the smaller man.



He kept on walking all the way back to the break room, he was happy it was empty; he didn't think he could handle talking to another person right now. Slowly he sat down on one of the plastic chairs and just fell forward with his head hitting quite hard against the table. He ignored the pain emanating from his forehead; it wasn't like it mattered how much it hurt.



So much for a good day.



For a while he just sat there wondering what he was meant to do, because even though he had been telling himself that Sasuke didn't matter, that he was just his boss, a bastard, player, stalker- it was still 'him' that kept on invading his mind.



He had even managed to forget about the happy time he had spent with Neji, over Sasuke.



Prickly teme, always getting in the way with his sexy body, and sexy smirk, and sexy eyes, and…



"So you think I'm sexy."



Naruto sprang up when he heard the familiar voice; he looked towards the entrance and saw Sasuke standing there with a smug smirk on his face. His eyes widened and a blush spread across his face when he realized that Sasuke had actually heard him call the teme 'sexy'. Worst thing was that he was alone… in a room… with Sasuke. Kami, he needed to get out of here right now!



"I wasn't talking about you," the blonde snapped and stood up, ready to walk out of the room.



"Hn," Sasuke replied with a raised eyebrow.



Naruto grimaced at the self-satisfied expression on the other's face; he tried to step around him only to be grabbed by the wrist and pulled flush into Sasuke's chest. He froze when he felt Sasuke's hot breath against his neck; he couldn't help but shudder and melted against him. He groaned when he felt Sasuke's long pianist fingers roaming across his chest, slowly felt the buttons of his shirt being undone. Shivering as the hands slipped under his shirt, touching and tracing his smooth skin.



He felt so confused; he didn't know why he was letting the other do this to him. Damn it, it didn't mean anything! So why was the blonde arching his head to the side when he felt Sasuke's head leaning down, hot kisses blazing down the side of his face, trailing down at an agonizingly slow pace, reaching between the junction of his neck and shoulder. Then he sucked.



Harshly.



Naruto gasped, but it quickly turned into a moan. Sasuke took that as an invitation and started undoing the blonde's trousers, reaching inside the material to cup his hardening erection. He knew he should push him away, but it felt so good to be touched like this. To be held like this, no matter how wrong it felt, it felt so right at the same time.



"Don't mistake my intentions…" he whispered into Naruto's ear.



"Then make your intentions clear, you bastard!" he hissed back when Sasuke gave a particularly hard squeeze.



"Oh I will…" he released Naruto's erection from its tight confinements, and grabbed a hold of it. Sasuke then raised his other hand and spat on it, smearing the saliva onto his member to lubricate it.



He rubbed it up and down, from shaft to tip, massaging the organ to its full girth. Naruto groaned and glanced down, hypnotized, as he watched how Sasuke's talented hands worked him. Suddenly he got the feeling that he should be doing something back to the raven. Cautiously he reached behind him, nervously touching the bulge in Sasuke's trousers. He frowned when he felt Sasuke smirk against his neck.



"Go on…" he whispered.



So with that small piece of encouragement he struggled to open the other's pants, and hesitantly reached inside only to be met by the silk fabric of the boxers. The blonde moaned again and almost lost concentration as Sasuke pulled back the foreskin to expose the sensitive tip. His knees buckled as Sasuke played with the sensitive tip and the slight dot of sticky pre-cum that dribbled out.



Yet he kept on going, reaching past the silk material, inside the hotness where he grazed the other's semi-hard cock.



Sasuke hissed and pushed his hips forward, thrusting himself into Naruto's hand. "I'd say we are way past you being so shy, dobe…" he was right of course; after all the other times, they were far beyond formalities.



So he grabbed onto Sasuke's hard member, amazed at how hot it felt in his hand. With great trepidation he squeezed it, which earned him quite a harsh growl from Sasuke. So he tried to be more gentle, rubbing it up and down, amazed at how large and stiff it became under his ministrations. Their breathing became shallower as they worked each other; Naruto could feel himself getting close to completion, so he quickened his movements.



"Not yet," Sasuke growled and released him. Naruto whined at the loss of contact, but squeaked as he was pushed up against the wall with his back.



"What are you doing?" he stuttered out.



"Don't you think this way is much nicer?" Sasuke said, pushing their erections together.



Naruto groaned and thrust his hips forward as Sasuke wrapped his hand around both of them so that he could jerk them off together. Naruto clenched his eyes shut; everything was so hot, and feeling Sasuke's hot cock against his own... He was throbbing with heat, and need, god he needed this so much!



"Open your eyes, look at me."



Through his haze he peeked out, and his blue eyes widened when he saw the intensity in the other's eyes. The slight blush staining Sasuke's face, how his black hair stuck to his face with sweat. He had always known how handsome Sasuke was, but right now he looked even more delish. The blush covering his face deepened. He couldn't keep up with the intense look and tried to look away, but the Uchiha quickly grasped onto his chin and pressed their lips together in a deep kiss.



It was just like the first time they had kissed at that club, so intense that it took his breath away. Although this time he was participating and not fighting it. He reached up, kneading his fingers into Sasuke's black locks so that he could deepen the kiss. He opened his mouth, letting Sasuke's tongue invade his cavern, wrestling with his own tongue, sucking and nibbling at his bottom lip. Yet the need for air became too much, so they broke the kiss.



Naruto whined and groaned, resting his forehead against Sasuke's shoulder as the raven kept on stroking him, driving him to the brink of insanity and back. He grabbed onto the raven's shirt, holding onto him tightly, feeling the tight heat coil up in his abdomen, and with one last stroke he came with a loud moan. Sasuke tightened and shuddered against him as he also came.



He almost collapsed onto the ground at the intenseness of the orgasm; his breathing came out laboured. It was only Sasuke's tight grip around his waist that kept him from falling with weariness. The raven smirked, wiping the sticky fluid on the paper towels beside the sink, and dragged the blonde with him onto the plastic chair so that they could both sit down, with the blonde on Sasuke's lap.



"What do you want from me?" he asked between breaths.



"You should know by now that I want you."



"It doesn't make sense, I'm only a waiter."



Sasuke chuckled. "Do you honestly think that would stop me?"



Naruto frowned and was about to retort when a small cough alerted him that there was someone else in the room. Almost fearfully he turned around and saw Haku standing there with a red face hidden behind his hand. Quickly the blonde tried to adjust and straighten himself out, although Sasuke didn't seem to mind their state of undress at all.



"Er… Naruto, there is someone outside to see you."



"Who?"



"Don't know, but he said it's urgent."



"O-okay, I'll be there in a sec." Haku nodded and left the room, leaving the two other men alone again.



"So…"



"Meet me in Kakashi's office in half an hour," the raven said and gently pushed Naruto off him, smirking as he straightened the blonde's clothes, and kissed him on the cheek. "We have a lot to talk about."



"Okay…" he replied dazedly as Sasuke walked out of the room.



For a second he just stood there, not knowing what to do, before deciding to find Haku. He soon spotted the man working the counter; the raven blushed when he saw Naruto coming over. Although the grin covering his face told him that he was laughing at his expense. Naruto scowled and tapped the wooden counter in great irritation.



"So who is the person who wants to see me?"



"He's sitting over there at table 3," Naruto nodded and walked towards the smiling man when he recognized the person sitting there.



"Neji!"



"Naruto, it's good to see you, you look well," the Hyuuga said, flashing him a smile.



Naruto couldn't help but blush at the comment, after that session in the break room he did feel a lot better. "You too, is something wrong? Haku said you wanted to see me."



"Yes, is there somewhere private we can talk?"



"Er… I think so, c'mon," he replied thoughtfully.



Naruto knew there were cameras and people always keeping watch. So he led the other man through the back, where the kitchen was, avoiding the burly Zabuza so that they could exit into the back alleyway. Lucky it seemed like Shino wasn't here, hopefully he was occupied somewhere else for a while. He turned around to look at Neji and gave him another one of his dazzling smiles.



"So Neji, what is it that you want to talk about?"



The raven looked at him with a gaze he couldn't recognize, yet for some reason he suddenly felt very nervous. He couldn't help but take a step back when he felt that something was wrong.



"Neji?"



A sigh left the raven-haired man, and he reached into his jacket, taking out an object, that in the dim light he couldn't recognise. "I'm really sorry about this Naruto..."



"Neji?" he stuttered when he noticed that the object was actually a gun. Naruto watched as Neji raised the gun to aim at him.



"But I have to do this."



A shot echoed through the darkness.
