The Way Things Were and Are

Time for the next fic and guess what? It's a Shikamaru/Neji one! Want to know something else? It's the long awaited shadow-tentacle sex one! Yay! Everyone do a dance! haha I can't believe I actually wrote this though to be honest. I've never written tentacle sex before and...well, it was a new experience. I'll say that much. I'm not sure what to think of it. I don't believe it's as good as pen_name's shadow tentacle smut, but I hope it's at least reading worthy. I hope you guys will like it. :) Anyhow, enjoy this side fic!

REVIEW REPLIES:

vashta: Yes, I thought of making them clones at first, but I enjoyed the idea of Neji and Shikamaru actually being there, so I changed it. :D haha I'm glad you liked it. Kiba, actually, will be going out with Kankuro very soon. Odd, ne? I'm trying to get both of their characters down better so I can attempt to write at least a oneshot of them. ^_^

Nickles: haha, I'm so glad you liked it. :) It makes me happy to hear that. :D As for where he got the toys...well, you'll find out in this fic. XD

Admiral ShadowWolf: Yes, having Naruto on top occasionally is a good thing. But now that they're switching off and on, they'll never get bored right? There's always a bunch of new things for them to try. haha It is an interesting thought. I wonder if my plot bunny will ever give me an idea for that...

yuurimaoh: Well, actually, the world will know because it's stated in this story. XD haha I guess you'll get to find out where he got the toys! And happy day for both Sasuke and Naruto! Hopefully they'll enjoy switching positions. XD

TWTAS 8

He needed the day to end and he needed it to end now. Neji was glad that when he was guarding Naruto as ANBU he was supposed to stay hidden. He’d be terribly embarrassed if he were out in the open right now. After all, having a straining erection while wearing an ANBU uniform was not exactly intimidating. Why he was so desperate for Shikamaru’s touch today, he didn’t know, but he was going to do everything he could to avoid being seen.

After several minutes, he managed to calm himself down to the point of where it wasn’t visible and was glad that there was less then twenty minutes left in his shift. Shikamaru hadn’t come today, claiming that he wasn’t feeling good and didn’t want to pass on the germs if he was getting ill. Neji mentally snorted as he ran the excuse through his head again. Shikamaru wasn’t sick. He was just faking so he could get a day off and do nothing.

As it was, Sasuke had replaced the Nara today and Neji could tell that the other was anxious to end the day as well. He felt a flush rise on his cheeks and his member gave a hearty twitch as he remembered how he had last seen the Uchiha, stripped except for the ANBU gloves and tied up, being tortured by sexual toys. Calming himself down yet again, Neji’s mind led him to another thought. He wondered where Naruto had gotten the sex toys. There was only one shop like that in Konoha and the blonde was too young to get those kind of things.

The shift finally ended and Naruto threw his hat to the side in relief as his two ANBU bodyguards came out from their hiding spots. Sasuke had caught the blonde’s hat before it had flown out the window with casual grace. He slowly removed his mask before he leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to Naruto’s head, the blonde humming softly in appreciation. As much as he wanted to get home, Neji was really curious.

“Naruto, might I ask you a question?” the Hyuuga asked, pulling his mask to the side of his head.

The blonde shrugged. “Sure.”

“Where, and how, did you manage to get your hands on all of those sex toys?”

Sasuke smirked as a slight flush crept onto Naruto’s face. “Why? You want to borrow them?”

Neji raised a brow. “After you’ve been using them? Heaven’s no. I was merely curious.”

“Well, no one can blame you,” Naruto grinned sheepishly. “Ah, they…they were some of perverted sage’s belongings. In his ‘will’, or whatever you want to call it, he said all of his stuff was to go to me and well…there’s your answer.”

A nostalgic flicker had passed through the blonde’s eye at that moment and Neji was almost sorry he had brought it up. He opened his mouth to apologize, but Naruto waved it away, smiling happily. He told the Hyuuga that it wasn’t a big deal and that he shouldn’t worry about it any further. The memories he had were good ones and he’d always treasure them, even if most of them were of him trying to get Jiraiya away from doing perverted things.

“Go home, Neji,” Naruto added once he had finished. “It’s been a long week. I’m sure you’re anxious to get home to see how Shikamaru is doing.”

Neji’s cock gave a happy little twitch at the thought of his husband and he managed to avoid blushing. He really did need to get home. “Thank you.” He bowed respectfully before making the signs to jutsu home. He landed on their porch with a heavy sigh. He was tired and horny. It was the worst combination of feelings he’d ever had. Wanting to sleep and have sex at the same time was not something that was really accomplishable.

It took him a minute to realize that most of the lights in the house were off. Blinking, he quietly made his way to the door. Had Shikamaru been telling the truth about not feeling well? The lights in the house would be on if he had just been being lazy. Only the bedroom lamp was on from what he could see. He opened the door and walked in, not wanting to make too much noise just in case Shikamaru was sleeping. Maybe he shouldn’t have doubted the other.

He silently made his way up the stairs, sure to not make any noise (he was in the ANBU after all), and walked towards their bedroom. Slipping his mask to the back of his head, he quietly opened the door, peeking in towards the bed. But it was empty. Confused, Neji opened the door the rest of the way without hesitation. He walked into the room, setting his mask down on the dresser before he tried to think of where his lover could be. At his parents’ maybe? And why did their room smell like incense and other relaxing smells?

A sudden noise from behind him made him spin around, his hand reaching towards his weapons pouch. It was then he realized that he couldn’t move. His mind immediately began to panic, but he forced it to calm down. Shikamaru had to be in the room somewhere. After all, the only people who could make a person freeze like this were the Naras and as far as he knew Shikamaru’s father had no reason to come into their home and freeze him in place.

Against his will, his body was moved towards the bed and forced to lie down on his back. He felt his weapon pack and sword being pulling away and yet could do nothing about his. He struggled to move again and found that it only made whatever it was cling to him tighter. Then the tendrils began to grow around him. Inky black and shaped like tentacles, Neji could only watch as they slithered higher and higher into the air. He wasn’t sure what he should do.

He shivered when the tips began to draw light designs on his skin, his sandals being removed from his feet. And yet he wasn’t afraid. He knew he should be screaming for help, but something was helping him stay calm. He figured that somewhere there was incense burning and that was the cause for his relaxation. Shivers racked his body once again as the tendrils began to glide underneath his clothing. His arms and legs twitched as a reflex when he tried to move them, to see if he could possibly get away.

With a sudden burst of speed, the tendrils snapped around him, making it impossible for him to move. He wriggled and tried to get away, but the tendrils moved to bind him to the bed. One for each wrist and ankle. Before he could stop it, he was spread wide eagle on the bedspread, fighting to get up and away. And yet he still wasn’t scared. Yes, he didn’t like the situation, but he didn’t fear for his life. He continued to try and get away, not noticing the tentacles that were playing around the hem of his pants.

A sharp gasp left his mouth when they black tentacles started to slip inside of his pants. He opened his mouth to scream for them to stop, only to have one of the tendrils slip into his mouth, effectively gagging him. He screamed, but they only came out as muffled yells, his arms trying to pull up and away from the bed. The rest of the tendrils however continued their teasing touches, playing with whatever patch of skin they could find.

Neji had to bite back a moan when some of the shadows started to slip up his shirt, playing with the muscles of his abdomen before moving higher. The ones in his pants were crawling closer and closer to his member and he was ashamed that they were making his semi-hard member even harder. He tried to gasp when his nipples started to receive the most pleasurable torture he had ever felt. It felt like when Shikamaru’s mouth was latched onto them. Only it was on both sides.

His body twitched when one of the tendrils began to play around with his growing erection and others the insides of his thighs. The one tickled the tip of his cock before tracing down the sides and front, before running back up the large vein on the bottom, repeating its process. Neji’s hips were twitching and jerking uncontrollably. He was fighting inside of his head, wanting more and wanting them to stop at the same time. His eyes widened when the tentacle dipped into the slit of his member, barely slipping inside.

He writhed as it carefully wiggled its way inside. His nipples were pert and hard at this point, being rolled around by the tendrils in his shirt. He was beginning to sweat and the most lewd noises were coming from his tendril filled mouth. He couldn’t believe he was getting more and more aroused by what they were doing to him. If Shikamaru was seeing him like this, who knew what the other would be thinking. He clenched his eyes shut as the tentacles moved forward in their actions.

Shikamaru, Neji thought as he was tortured, come out already! If it is you, come out!

That thought made him panic. What if it wasn’t Shikamaru? What if it was someone else, another Nara or someone who could copy their technique? His brain wasn’t functioning as it normally would so his thoughts didn’t have any logic to back them up. He began to struggle again with the tendrils, this time more frantically, not liking the situation at all. He didn’t like the idea of someone else molesting his body. He should have made sure that it was indeed Shikamaru who was doing this to him and not some perverted rogue-nin.

“Gods, Neji, if only you knew how hot you looked right now.”

Neji’s eyes snapped open and looked to his side. He could have cried out in relief and anger at the same time. Shikamaru was around and by the looks of it was perfectly fine. Neji was grateful and relieved that it was indeed Shikamaru who was torturing him. He was angry because the other hadn’t said anything to calm him down before. Growling, Neji began to struggle against his bonds once more, gasping when the tentacle resting inside of his member began to wiggle around.

“I wouldn’t move too much if I were you,” Shikamaru smirked, sitting down on the bed. “It only makes me more excited. Do you want to know why?”

Neji blinked as his lover crawled over his body, the shadows starting to play with his balls and puckered ring, while others rubbed the inside of his thighs. He grunted when they slipped inside his back entrance. It wasn’t uncomfortable. It was just strange, to feel something like that sliding up your hole. He wiggled underneath his husband’s straddled legs, writhing as he was continually tortured by the tendrils. Grunts and groans managed to make their way out of his mouth, but were muffled like his screams before.

“Because I can feel everything they feel,” Shikamaru whispered huskily, pulling his shirt off and throwing it to the side. “I can feel them touching your skin. I can feel them playing with your hard little nipples.” The tentacles flicked them as emphasis, making Neji moan. “I can feel the way they are sliding up your tight, hot ass.” The Hyuuga bucked as his prostate was pressed, the rest of the tendrils working on stretching him open. “And I can feel the way this tiny one is wiggling inside your cock.”

Neji was panting by the time Shikamaru finished talking, the small tentacle inside of his member wiggling around just to show him how true Shikamaru’s words were. He was growing hotter and hotter by the second and he desperately wanted the other to touch him. Having Shikamaru half naked over him was driving him to the brink of his sanity. He let out a pleasured moaned when the shadowed tendrils around his cock became a hand and it started to stroke him.

“Feel good, Neji?” Shikamaru asked, leaning down over his spouse. “Do you feel like you’re going to explode if I simply touch you?”

Neji whimpered. His husband was in a mood tonight and he had no idea why, but he wasn’t sure if he liked or hated it yet. His hips were rolling now, trying to gain more friction from that shadowy hand. The tendrils were driving him nuts! He wasn’t sure how much longer he could take this. Panting, moaning, and writhing, Neji was growing closer and closer to his orgasm. He was spilling his pre-cum like no other and he was sure that he was going to have to wash his ANBU pants tomorrow.

He nearly cried out when a tentacle wrapped tightly around the base of his cock. He had been so close! He whimpered and whined, trying to get the inky tendril away so he could release his load. He glared at his husband when the Nara began to chuckle, strong tanned fingers moving to slide his pants down, leaving Neji in his shirt and gloves. The tendrils around his ankles lifted his legs upwards, giving Shikamaru a show to watch. Neji blushed. Husband or not, this was embarrassing.

“You’re so hot to watch Neji,” Shikamaru whispered, pushing his pants away and onto the floor. “Whether you’re naked or in this sexy uniform, you always get me so hard. Can you see? Can you see how hard I am for you?”

Neji moaned at the sight of his spouse’s dripping, twitching member. He wiggled his hips, trying to convey that he wanted the other inside of him and it only served to make the tentacles inside of him to brush against his prostate. He groaned and thrust up towards the feeling, trying to make them hit that special button. He was going insane with the way the tendrils were playing around on his body. He wanted to come so badly from all of the stimulations he was getting.

“You want me, akanbou?” Shikamaru whispered, waving his hand towards himself. The tendrils lifted Neji up off the bed, fully presenting himself to the younger man. His legs were bound so his heels were resting by his butt, his knees pointed towards the ceiling. “You want me inside you, loving you, and filling you up?”

If Shikamaru didn’t stop toying with him soon, Neji was going to start crying tears of pleasure and need. He nodded his head frantically, thrusting back onto the tentacles now that gravity was on his side. He whined when they disappeared, only to moan loudly in pleasure as he was filled with Shikamaru’s cock. It took him no time at all to adjust to the other’s size and length and a frenzied pace was started. Neji rocked against his lover, trying to gain more friction for his constrained member.

“So hot, Neji,” Shikamaru panted, kissing and nibbling on the Hyuuga’s pale neck. “So deliciously hot.”

Neji mewled. There really wasn’t much else he could do. The tentacles had his arms wrapped tightly behind his back and those that had left his back entrance were now teasing his balls or various other spots of his body. The one in his mouth pulled out and moved down to his throat, lightly wrapping around it. Neji was crying out as his lover continued to slam into his prostate over and over again. The tendril inside his member was creating the most arousing stimulation and Neji wasn’t sure how much longer he could take it.

“More!” Neji gasped, throwing his head back so his hair was moving with their movements. “Oh gods Shikamaru, give me more! Ah! Nngh! Oh yes…so good….so so good!”

The younger nin responded to his request immediately and began to thrust even harder into his lover. Neji was writhing in pleasure, too lost in the feeling to even care about how hot or sexy he looked. This was the first time Shikamaru had done anything like this to him. He’d inquired about it, wanting to know if Shikamaru’s shadows could be used in sex, but the Nara had never answered him before. Now he was getting exactly what he had asked for.

“Shika, please! Ooohh…So good! Ah! L-Let me come! Please!”

“You want to come, akanbou?” Shika whispered into the Hyuuga’s ear, licking it as he continued to pound into his lover.

“Yes, please!” Neji breathed, unable to do much else. “Oh please, Shika-ah! Ah!”

“How badly?”

Neji groaned, still rolling his hips. “Anything! I-I’ll do anything! Oh gods, Shikamaru please!”

His lover begging was all the Nara could take and before Neji could realize it, the tentacle inside of his member pulled out, the one wrapped around the base of his cock releasing its hold. Neji’s back arched and he threw his head back as he screamed Shikamaru’s name to the air. His orgasm was powerful, strong jets sending his semen up to his chin and chest. Shikamaru grunted and clung tighter to his lover as Neji’s insides spasmed around him, strangling his member till it released his load as well.

Shikamaru’s shadows had disappeared before they had finished and by the time they had, they both had slumped down to the bed, panting for air. It had gone faster then what Neji would have preferred today, but he was very satisfied. The horny side of him was definitely satisfied. The tentacle bondage sex had been very kinky and much to Neji’s shock, very erotic and arousing. He wouldn’t mind doing this again if Shikamaru was ever up to it.

He shivered when he felt some of the Nara’s cooling seed start to drip down his thighs, despite still having his husband still inside of him. Smirking, he leaned forward and gently pressed his lips to the Nara’s, moaning when Shikamaru kissed him gently, but deeply. The younger nin pulled out of his lover, making them both groan before he wrapped his arms tightly around the Hyuuga. He didn’t care that they were dirty. He was tired and he wasn’t letting Neji go anywhere.

Neji didn’t need for the other to explain what he was doing. “You were in a rather kinky mood today.”

Shikamaru smirked. “I still am. Want to go for a second round?”

Neji chuckled, brushing his fingers through the other’s hair. “I don’t think you have the energy for it. Your chakra has to be depleted right now.”

“Hmm, you have a point,” Shikamaru grinned. “Maybe tomorrow.”

The Hyuuga snorted. “What makes you so sure?”

“If you’re wearing the ANBU uniform tomorrow, like you still are now, I will definitely do this to you again.”

Neji blushed as he finally realized that he was still in the ANBU top, gloves, and his head band. He had never taken them off. Shikamaru merely chuckled before he brought his hands up to Neji’s hair, untying the hitai-ate and setting it on their bedside table. Lazily, he helped the other remove his gloves and then his soiled shirt. Neji sighed softly. He was definitely going to have to wash those in the morning. It was a good thing he had the day off tomorrow.

He smirked at that thought. “You have to go into work tomorrow.”

Shikamaru groaned. “Don’t remind me. Maybe I’ll say I’m sick again.”

Neji bopped him on the head. “No you will not. You’ll go like you’re supposed to.”

“But you won’t be there,” Shikamaru uncharacteristically whined. “I don’t want to go if you’re not there…”

“None of that, Shika,” Neji yawned. “You’re going tomorrow as you’re obviously not ill.”

“We’ll argue about this tomorrow morning,” Shikamaru stated, pulling the other closer to him. He leaned in and smirked as he let his breath caress the Hyuuga’s ear. “After I screw you into the mattress that is.”

Neji shivered. That sound far too good to his ears at the moment.

“And Neji?”

“Hm?”

“Don’t forget that you said you’d do anything.”

Neji shivered again. That was a promise he wasn’t sure he should be looking forward to.

So, uh, please tell me what you think, OK? And be honest. I really want to know how I did with the whole tentacle sex thing. It's such a new thing for me and I want to know if I should ever attempt doing it again. ^_^; Please review!!
