Dark Diary

000000000000000000000000000Neji

The Hyuuga walked alone down that crowded halls. All the other students were somehow finding a way to make a good size path for him. A few of them, every now and then, even managed to say ‘hi’.

He smirked; life was certainly treating him good. He owned every school he went to, and this one wasn’t any different. He got straight A’s, won championships in soccer, baseball and football. No teacher cared what he did, because he was perfect, and that meant, he boosted school prestige.

He was good looking, a real pretty boy. His hair was long, naturally dark, straight and it was soft without him having to do anything spectacular. His skin didn’t seem to ever tan. His metabolism was very fast and he was strong.

If everyone didn’t submit to him by his natural all around charm and greatness, then he only had to kick their ass.

Neji sauntered into his last class of the day, ten minutes late, and smirked even more when he saw that everyone had known better than to sit next to the little redhead of his new affections. Even though there were seating assignments, he knew people did it because of him. (Which they did)

He took his seat and noticed how the boy had hastily thrown a notebook into his book bag.

Neji merely shrugged it off, ‘kid was probably doodling’
He took in his surroundings with smug satisfaction. Their desk was in the back of the room, and since their classroom was in a diamond shape, they had no one to their left or right. A person had to blatantly turn around to look at them. Of course, the teacher was strict on the rule that talking to anyone but your partner was forbidden, so no one would turn around.

Neji stretched and placed his arm around Gaara’s shoulders, smirking when he stiffened.

“Get off” he growled

Instead, Neji lowered his arm to Gaara’s waist and pulled him closer, “I’d love to” he murmured.

He grinned when the redhead blushed darkly and narrowed his eyes.

“You know exactly what I meant” He hissed

Neji rolled his eyes, mentally noting that the teacher was engrossed in her painting, as was everyone else, and removed his arm.

Gaara seemed to relax a little bit and he started to work on his own painting. Neji noted with amusement that it was of a raccoon in black, white and grays.

He reached down and started the other’s thigh, “You know,” he whispered in the livid boy’s ear, “It hurts me when you act like this”

Gaara tried to pry his hand off, but only succeeded in making Neji move his hand up farther. His face matched his hair by the time he finally gave up. The Hyuuga’s hand now rested entirely on his crotch and he really didn’t want to draw any attention to them.

‘He’s blushing for me...’ thought Neji as he worked to undo the zipper

He nearly laughed at the indignant look Gaara gave him when he stuck his hand in. The boy was really trying not to enjoy it. But no, Neji knew the look all too well by now. Gaara wanted him.
He started to lean closer and the redhead faced him. He couldn’t help but take in the deep green of his eyes, the smooth complexion of his fair skin and the pink of his lips... those lips...

Without a second thought, Neji leaned down and captured them.
Gaara’s eyes widened, he hadn’t been expecting that, although he probably should have. After all, he was being molested during school hours and in class no less!

His eyes slipped shut, ‘maybe this isn’t so bad...’

Neji opened his mouth and licked Gaara’s lips, causing the other gulp.

After a moment, Gaara opened his mouth, and Neji plunged in, licking the wet cavern and savoring in the taste.

Neji pulled his pet closer, until he was almost in his lap. He threaded his fingers through the soft red hair, biting back a groan when Gaara accidentally rubbed against him.

He was still aware of the fact that they could very easily be caught. Fortunately, almost everyone was blasting some sort of music or another in their ears. He took a second to quietly thank corporation who invented the ipod.

He felt Gaara’s arms go around his neck; it felt like he was just trying to hold on to something. It felt almost...Lonely.
When their kiss broke and they immediately checked and saw that not person had turned around.

Gaara tried to scoot away, but Neji held him securely by his waist. He leaned over and placed a few butterfly kisses in his neck, before leaning allowing the redhead to do as he pleased.

September 11, Thursday

Shukaku, after school, don’t feel like going home yet JESUS H CHRIST! WHAT WAS THAT!

I can’t believe Neji kissed me... I CANT BELIEVE IT FELT SO GOOD!
..NO! IT WASN’T GOOD! I HATED IT!

No... WHAT I HATE IS FEELING LIKE A BOOK IS ACCUSING ME OF LYING TO IT! ...Fine, maybe I have, just a little crush on Neji...
I mean, it isn’t that he isn’t good looking. He’s hot, and I will admit to that. Ah, I am calming down. I might not have overreacted like that, except that was my first kiss.

I hate this; I hope he doesn’t do it again. I wonder if maybe he knows he’s doing this... What a bastard.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

“Hey Gaara”

He looked up and saw Shikamaru and Shino, he put Shukaku away and stared at them, “What?”

Shino and Shikamaru looked at each other, “Well,” said

Shikamaru, “We heard that...Someone saw you kissing Neji in art class.”

Gaara shrugged, “So what if I was?”

Shikamaru and Shino both sat next to him, underneath his little spot under the tree where he had chosen to sit about fifteen minutes ago.

Shino was the one who answered, who usually talked to Shikamaru and Gaara more than anyone else, “We were just wondering if it was true,” he said, “Naruto and Kiba are the ones who are going to make a huge deal out of it”

Gaara nodded, he knew that alright, “He kissed me,” said Gaara, who never knew the gift of shame, “And I liked it, so I kissed him back”

Shikamaru plopped on to his back and stared at the clouds, “Yeah, I heard he was a good kisser, but you should be careful”

Gaara frowned slightly, and flicked a bug off his book bag, “What do you mean?”

“Word is he’s getting a new pet,” said Shino, “And word is: It’s you”

Gaara allowed himself to frown more at the title, “What does that mean?”

Shikamaru and Shino glanced at each other, then stood up, “Do you have time?” asked Shikamaru, “Because this will take awhile”
Gaara shrugged again, he was never in a hurry to get home, he was often out visiting abandoned parks, or empty libraries.

“Ok,” Said Shikamaru, “Then we can go see Susan”

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000


The house was white, the roof was black, and the grass was green and neatly cut. It looked completely normal from the outside.

That’s what probably scared Gaara the most.

Shikamaru and Shino approached the door and knocked. After a moment they heard footsteps and a girl who looked to be around seventeen answered.

“Shikamaru! Shino!” she exclaimed, “Hi, who’s your friend?”

Shikamaru nodded, “This is Gaara...Have you heard about it?”
She frowned and looked at Gaara with pity shining in her eyes, “Neji’s pet?”

Shikamaru and Shino nodded sadly.

Gaara resisted the urge to huff indignantly, “I am no one’s pet!” He growled

The other three only smiled, as they walked inside, Gaara took in his surroundings.

The walls were pale lavender, the furniture was a creamy white with very light pink embroidery and the carpet was plush and white.
They was in the living room was a little small, and it connected to the kitchen by a doorway.

Susan came back in and smiled, placing a white tea set with purple painted flowers on the coffee table.

“So,” she said sitting down, “Why is it you are here?”

They helped themselves to some tea and Shikamaru began,
“Gaara made a bit of a ruckus in the office on his first day, he’s a freshman by the way, and he caught Neji’s attention”

Susan frowned, “How? Neji is picky, you and I know that”

He nodded, “Yeah, but he started a ruckus with Neji”

That caught her

“With Neji?”

Shikamaru smirked and beamed proudly at the redhead who was sipping
some tea and glaring at them, “First he shoved Ayame, and then he told Neji to keep his whores out of the way”

Susan stared at Gaara in horror, “you said that?”

Gaara shrugged, “More or less” he muttered

Shikamaru chuckled, “Anyway, Neji lets him off without a scratch. But then he starts asking about him, he asked Chouji. And I’ve heard he’s been paying a lot of attention to Gaara”

Gaara twitched a little but kept his temper in check, “Who the Hell cares?” he growled, “I thought I was brought here so that she could tell me what it was to be a fucking pet”

Susan glanced at Shikamaru and Shino, before folding her hands in her lap, “Of course,” She said, “I will explain it to you”
She brushed her hand over her sleeved forearm and bit her lip, “It all started in the 6th grade... Neji had just moved here, because his father had died. He was so beautiful and mature; I could hardly believe he was only 12.

“Everyone at school liked him, even though he used cruel words. He was in charge; no one else could stand up to him. I remember...” She sniffed, “I had developed a crush on him... He had been so hurt; I thought I could be the girl to heal him...

“He found out, he found out I liked him. I thought he was going to get mad, or tease me but...But he didn’t. He asked me out the next day.”

She paused and Gaara felt jealousy stab threw him like a spear. He didn’t like the thought of the Hyuuga with anyone else, even if he hated him.

“I was so happy,” She said, “Because, I thought I was getting my chance... But, he wasn’t nice, he was...He made me do things I didn’t want to... He actually hit me” Susan pulled her knees to her chest, “After only three days, he got a collar...It said, ‘Property of Hyuuga Neji’ on it. He told me I was his pet...

“I know it may seem weak, but...I could leave him. For one, I was scared of his anger and another I was...Addicted to him. To his kisses, to his touch. I just couldn’t leave him.

“Things were really bad, he dragged me everywhere, only to let anyone who wanted touch me... I begged him to protect me, but he would hit me and tell me that I was a selfish whore. He was always like that; I don’t even remember a kind word he said to me...

“A week and a half later, he dumped me. He took the collar back and said that I wasn’t worth his time anymore... After that I became extremely depressed, and my parents had to take me out of school. I have never gone back. A year later I met Naruto, and became friends with him and these two, along with Kiba and Chouji...As I hear, he has had many pets afterwards. And now that he is older, it is much worse for his pets”

There was a heavy atmosphere in the room. Her words hung in the air and swirled around, nearly making Gaara’s head spin. After a moment he stood and looked at her,

“Thank you for the story, but as you should have heard by now, I hate that damn Hyuuga, I am not in anyway addicted to him and I know he’s a bastard. What happened to you, will not happen to me”
The other three seemed cautiously optimistic. It seemed believable, they could almost feel hope for the fiery redhead.

“I- I hope not” Susan finally answered

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Thursday, continued...

Shukaku,

I don’t know what to think exactly... I’m not scared of him, but, I feel confused. I don’t completely understand what I feel for Neji. I do know that I have never felt like this about anyone...

Dammit, maybe I could though... I mean, I won’t lie, that kiss felt good. REALLY good.

I already know what to expect, so maybe I could be with him for just a little while? Or am I just taking an unnecessary risk? It would seem foolish to just be with him, especially knowing what he does to people. He couldn’t force me to do anything I didn’t want to...Right?

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The next day, Gaara had run into Naruto on the way to school. They walked together, Naruto chatting his head off and Gaara silently glaring ahead.

“I can’t believe he wants YOU to be his pet! What the hell is his problem? I mean jeez, I knew they were assholes, but I didn’t know they were idiots! Crap! It’s not like you’re even interested!” Naruto paused for confirmation, but that he was only being stared down.

“...Are you?”

Gaara shrugged, “Considering the past few days...I would guess that I am”

The blond stared at him in shock. This was certainly something to hear at 7 o’clock in the morning. He nodded lightly, “Oh, ok...”

He was silent the rest of the way to school, even when Chouji and Shino joined them on their walk.

When they finally reached the building Naruto pulled Gaara to the side, asking the other two to inform Shikamaru and Kiba that they would catch up.

Gaara shrugged the blond’s hand off his shoulder and stared at him.
Naruto licked his lips, “So you DO like Neji?”

The elder seemed to think for a moment before nodding the affirmative, “I think he is good looking”

The usually happy, perky blond’s face was distorted with horror, and he grabbed Naruto by the shoulders, “You know what he does to his pets, right?”

“Naruto,” said Gaara firmly, “I’m just saying he’s hot”

“Who?”

The two froze and turned to stare at a raven haired sophomore and a blue junior. Or should I say, Uchiha Sasuke and Hoshigaki Kisame.

Sasuke scowled at Naruto’s hands that were still resting on the redhead’s shoulders. However this went unnoticed by everyone else.
“None of your business teme!” snapped Naruto, “go away!”

Sasuke glared more, “make me”

Naruto released Gaara and turned to Sasuke. Kisame stepped in between them.

“Oh no you don’t blondie,” he said, “We’re all getting pretty tired of you picking fights with Sasuke”

Naruto sneered, “Then make him leave me the hell alone!”

Sasuke stepped forward and shoved him, “You’re the idiot who yells at me!”

The blond didn’t back down though, “I hate you! Uchiha-Bastard!”
“SAME HERE DOBE!”

Naruto lunged at Sasuke, only to be caught by the surprisingly strong Gaara, “Enough,” he growled in a tone that made all three of the others wince, “I haven’t even been here that long and you two are driving me insane!”

He let go of Naruto and fixed the other two with a glare, “I was talking about your damn friend!”

He turned and dragged Naruto off, but not before Kisame yelled out, “Neji?”

However he got no response.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

0000000000000000000000000000Neji POV

My little one has obviously been thinking about me... Kisame and Sasuke spoke of hearing him and the blond say something about him thinking I was hot.

I am pleased, I think he will be my favorite pet, I can tell already. Forget that old collar I have now, I’m going to have a new one made just for him. I feel so excited; I can hardly wait until second period.

I saw him when he walked past my class this morning. He was wearing black high water pants, a black t-shirt that said “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die” in white letters, a horizontally black and white striped long sleeve shirt underneath and white socks with those same shoes. Do those even protect his feet at all?

His hair is getting longer than when I first met him...But only a little. He has started wearing make up more often now. Lots of eyeliner, but his eyes always had rings around them; I heard he is an insomniac.

It pisses me off when I see him walking down the halls with that loser in the sunglasses. I don’t see why he feels it is needed to walk with him. When he’s my pet, I won’t have him talking to any of them!

Hurry up you stupid bell and ring! I still need to think of a way that poem could have a skit...Who knew? Jack Kerouac is good. I went out and bought one of his books. What was it called again?

Oh well! I must get to class! We are working in groups and I will claim my pet today.

“Sabaku no Gaara...” A predatory smirk graced his oh so sexy features, “You are mine...”
