Labor Force Liaison

(Sorry for the wait, but here it is! Chapter 4. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for the reviews. It’s great to hear people are enjoying this. I’m having such a good time writing it.)

Chapter 4

The sun invaded that window, spreading over Neji’s body. The Hyuuga woke up on instinct. His head was throbbing, his mouth was dry and burning, but nothing hurt as bad as his ass did. When Neji’s eyes opened, he decided that his head might hurt worse than his ass. His vision slowly cleared, and he surveyed the very unfamiliar room through squinted eyes.
“Ah. So you’re awake.”
Neji winced at the noise. After the pain subsided, he looked in the direction of the voice, seeing Kabuto leaned against the doorframe.
“Before you ask, your clothes are over there…”
The Hyuuga looked to where Kabuto was pointing, gripping himself as he caught on that he was truly naked.
“And breakfast is already done.” Kabuto smirked, turning to exit the room and leave Neji with his thoughts.
He was freaked out. He had slept with Kabuto? He got that drunk? What happened to Shikamaru. Making sure Kabuto wasn’t going to return, Neji started to get dressed. He grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket. Five missed calls and a voicemail?
“Hey Neji…this is Shikamaru. I wanted to check on you. Let me know if you need a ride or something. If not, I’ll see you at work or something.”
Neji pulled the phone from his ear then looked at the time. He had to be at work soon. He needed to shower….to change clothes…to think. He put on his shoes and headed out of the room, going towards the door.
“One moment, Neji.” Kabuto appeared, making Neji freeze at the door, his blood doing the same.
“I don’t believe it would be a good idea for you to advance in the company if word that you sleep with company executives gets out. I’ll hold my tongue given you give me what I want.”
Neji stared at Kabuto, his jaw tightened. That bastard was blackmailing him?
“What do you want?” Neji growled, doing his best not to take a swing at this rich pervert.
Kabuto chuckled, running a hand through his hair.
“Good question. I want you. You are appealing to me and I want you. You will get your promotion in due time as long as nothing goes wrong on your end. Now you may leave.”
Neji was pissed. This rich asshole wanted him like he was some sort of possession. And that asshole couldn’t be fired…he would get blamed for this affair.
“So you’re going to get me fired if I don’t cooperate….” The Hyuuga muttered, sucking his teeth.
“One could look at it that way.”
Images of a violently beaten Kabuto flashed before his eyes as he glared at the previously mentioned pervert. He couldn’t get fired from this job. He would have to depend on his Uncle again. He, atleast, had to play along with this until he got another job. Neji refused to go back to mooching off of his relatives.
“See you at work.” Neji sneered, stepping out of the door.
Kabuto smiled at the door, watching Neji as he left. He planned to have a lot of fun with that one.
After finding his car, Neji sped back to his place. He started a shower after calling in to say he would be late. Standing under the spray, the warm water lulled him into feeling better. He closed his eyes, trying to remember what he could about that night. He just remembered Kabuto approaching him after he was talking with Shikamaru. It was fuzzy after that. So he had a drunken one-night stand that screwed him over? Regardless, he needed to get to work.


If he sang one more Beatles’ song, Neji had decided that he was going to come over that wall and strangle the words out of him. Instead of maiming his co-worker, he gave in to another temptation, his head melting to its usual spot. He was good at ignoring the horrid feeling of plastic keys against his face.
“Is this all you do up here? Don’t ever say I don’t work.”
Neji jumped. His attention jerked to the voice. Shikamaru was standing in the ‘doorway’ of his cubicle with that same bored expression.
“Whatever. I feel like crap, but I’m sure I’ve done more work than you today.” Neji challenged, wiping his face to make sure no drool was on it.
“So I guess you had a good night.” Shikamaru said, doing a good job of sounding nonchalant.
“I have a hangover and no memory of what happened that night. Pretty good.” Neji said before grinning a bit.
“Appreciate the concern. Leaving messages AND taking time out of your business schedule to check on me? Glad you care.”
Shikamaru shifted uncomfortably under Neji’s stare.
“Pfft. Whatever.” He shot back, clearing his throat. “Troublesome…”
The technician stood there for a moment.
“I guess I better get back down to the Tech Support room.”
“So when do I get my chess match?”
Shikamaru sighed, thinking about what he had planned.
“I guess I could make time after work today.” the field tech muttered, looking disappointed about giving up his day.
Neji couldn’t tell the look of disappointment from any of Shikamaru’s other expressions. He always had that bored and annoyed expression.
“Fine. Meet me up here at the end of the day.”
Shikamaru gave a nod before frowning as Neji’s daily treat caught his ear.
“The Beatles are over. Stop singing like they aren’t.” the lazy technician complained, walking off.

“Don’t touch anything.”
“We’ve gone over this already.”
“You don’t listen so I’m reinforcing.”
Shikamaru rolled his eyes, walking into Neji’s place. Neji led him to his custom chess set, arranging everything on a nearby table. Shikamaru took a seat, sighing due to the sheer boredom.
“You don’t have to be so precise. It’s just a game. Hurry up.”
Neji gave Shikamaru a passing glare while he angled the board. Once the pieces were perfect and the board was in the perfect area of the table, he sat down.
“Just concentrate on playing.”
The game was played in utter silence. That annoyed Shikamaru a bit because this was still a game, not a surgery. Neji was in deep concentration, thinking through each move. He didn’t want to make any mistakes.
“Check.” Shikamaru yawned, looking up to see Neji’s reaction. He had to smirk at the very pissed Hyuuga seated across from him.
Neji moved, his mind reeling.
“Check.”
When did Shikamaru set these moves up? Neji was sure he had analyzed everything. How did he not catch these moves?
“Checkmate.”
“Fuck! I want a rematch!”
The lazy Nara groaned in aggravation. He didn’t want another game like that.
“Not if you’re gonna play like your life is on the line. It’s just a game.”
Neji didn’t seem too willing to accept that.
“Whatever. Let’s just play.”
The Hyuuga set the pieces up quickly and started the game.
“So how was your night with that guy?” Shikamaru said, moving a random piece.
“Don’t remember. Just woke up at his place.” Neji gritted out, noticing how whimsically Shikamaru was picking and moving pieces.
“Don’t remember? You didn’t drink that much…maybe you did.” He did the exact same thing, moving whatever piece his hand landed on.
“I must have. I still feel that hangover. I must have had a whole lot.” Neji said, his eyes glued to the piece Shikamaru moved.
“I will not play you if you aren’t going to take this seriously!” Neji snapped suddenly, his eyes locked on Shikamaru’s.
“It’s a game. It’s supposed to be fun. We’re not having fun…well you aren’t.”
“Those moves don’t make any sense.”
“Nope.”
Neji was silent, realization hitting him. He was acting like this was a tournament game. The Hyuuga took a breath and grabbed a piece, moving it to some area of the board.
“I didn’t take you for a light-weight with alcohol.” Shikamaru said, smirking at Neji’s random move.
“I’m not a light-weight. I had to have had a lot. Hey! You can’t even move that piece there!” Neji defended before going into a rant.
Shikamaru shrugged his shoulders, not caring in the least. Neji started to laugh at the blatant disregard for rules.
“Ridiculous.” Neji managed, trying to control his laughter.
“Whatever. It can move that way this time. Anyways, you couldn’t have had that much. You were on like…your fourth when I started talking to you.”
Neji moved his piece illegally, gaining a small chuckle from Shikamaru. The Hyuuga was catching on.
“That stuff wasn’t even that strong. I had to have had something else. I think Kabuto ordered me something else. I was drinking a lot when I was talking to him, I think.”
Shikamaru’s eyebrow rose at another illegal move. He might have created a monster.
“What? No rules, all fun. I win, by the way.”
“Not if the King is really an imposter. That piece right there was my King.”
Neji discreetly moved a piece over.
“Look at that. I still win.”
That went on for a few hours. They played a few games though they didn’t actually pay attention what was happening. They just kept talking. At some point, Neji felt like Shikamaru was a really good friend of his. He felt like Shikamaru knew him.
“Hey well…we have to do this again sometime.” Neji said, leading his guest to the door.
“I guess I had fun. We should…only if I get touching privileges…of your stuff…in your place…stop looking at me like that. You know what I meant.”
Neji laughed loudly, gripping his stomach.
“Watch your words and that won’t happen. I may as well. You know enough about me anyway. Between today and your snooping, you could write my biography.”
Shikamaru shook his head, heading out to his car.
“See ya at work.”
The Hyuuga waved, a small smile on his face. He watched his co-worker leave before closing the door. He went directly to his couch and took a seat. He giggled a little about the day, looking over at the ransacked chessboard. At that moment, his cell phone started to ring. Skeptically, he grabbed it to examine the number. He definitely didn’t recognize it.
“Hello?”
“Ah, Neji. Glad you chose to answer. I expect you at my house now. You know where it is. You know the consequences.”
Neji’s mouth went dry at the voice and the demands. He couldn’t believe that asshole was actually going through with this. That’s when he realized that Kabuto had already hung up. Neji knew he didn’t have a choice. He couldn’t get fired. The Hyuuga grabbed his keys and headed to the door. He didn’t get why this even happened. In order for them to have even had a chance, he would have to have an interest in men. To this point, he hadn’t really. What was going on?

“Good of you to join us, Neji.” The Hyuuga looked bewildered, glancing at the other person that stood with Kabuto.
“What’s going on?” Neji asked, looking pissed, scared, and confused at moment.
“You know him, don’t you, Neji?”
“Orochimaru is fine.” The man hissed, his eyes trailing over Neji.
“Orochimaru planned on joining us. He was so interested, he wouldn’t take no for an answer.” Kabuto said, a smug smile on his face. He obviously loved his level of control.
Neji’s head dropped and he willed himself not to say what his mind yearned him to say. He just wanted to get this over with.

Orochimaru took a seat in the corner of the bedroom, watching as Kabuto undressed the Hyuuga. Neji looked like he was going to be sick. Kabuto trailed kisses down Neji’s body.
“Relax. This will feel good.” Kabuto cooed, displaying Neji’s now nude body for himself and his guest.
“He’s as beautiful as you say.” Orochimaru whispered, urging Kabuto to continue with a hand gesture.
Kabuto continued to tease Neji’s body, his tongue dancing over every bit of exposed flesh.
“Undress me.”
Neji, after a momentary hesitation, did as he was told. He removed Kabuto’s clothes, looking over the man’s body. It wasn’t bad. He obviously went to the gym sometimes. Nice abs, nice chest, nice arms, but he was still an asshole.
“Taste it.”
Neji stared at Kabuto then his eyes trailed downward to the man’s cock. There was a long silence while Neji’s mind debated what was going on and what he should do. It all ended as he leaned forward. The Hyuuga closed his eyes, inhaled deeply, and took it into his mouth. He was pretty clueless as to what he was supposed to do, but apparently it didn’t matter. Kabuto had already taken control. He gripped at Neji’s head, fingers weaving into his hair. He pulled Neji away from him, then toward him again. It almost gagged him. Neji didn’t like that too much and resisted when Kabuto tried to repeat the action. Orochimaru muttered something that Kabuto heard, and before he knew it, Kabuto pulled his mouth away. Kabuto positioned him on the bed facing Orochimaru, on his hands and knees.
“He wants to see your face while we have sex.” His captor whispered into Neji’s ear.
Orochimaru was staring at him unabashedly. It was disgusting. It felt like the man was looking into his soul. Kabuto pushed forward. The pain was unlike anything. It made his whole body clench up. He wanted, needed to move, but Kabuto’s grip wouldn’t allow it. He started to cry out a bit, gritting his teeth to quiet himself. His fingers sank into the sheets and his knuckles whitened. Neji’s mind went elsewhere. He couldn’t think about this anymore, and if he couldn’t leave physically, he would mentally. All the while, Orochimaru just looked on, pleased. He licked his lips several times, loving any sound that came from the Hyuuga, as well as the faraway look on his face. Kabuto kept a steady rhythm, the sounds of their bodies matching his quickened heartbeats. In a heartbeat’s time, it was over. Kabuto groaned then pulled away. His body was empty, but complete.
“You may leave now.”
