A/N- Heh, So my wonderful inspirational best friend of mine and I were just talking about a few of my other stories, and one of us came up with this magnificent thought. If you've read any of my other fics, I may or may not exagerate Hidan's insanity, heh, which I just can't elp myself with, and this fic will be just another of those. But this one is going to be out of my comfort zone, so don't get on my ass about ooc-ness okay?

And don't judge my coupleing okay? Most of it's an inside joke, so if you don't like the notion then just stop reading right now.

Hopefully, It will still be as entertaining as all the others despite. n_n

Bad neighbors

"They're at it again Shikamaru!"

"Hm?"

"I can't beleive this. Those bastards are ruining the entire neighborhood. It's a rediculous notion that everyone else is forced to leave their homes when the only problem around here is them."

The brunette slammed open his window and shoved his head out into the night air. "IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED THERE ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO SLEEP!"

Shikamaru grinned, twirling the toothpick around in his mouth as his normally oh-so-composed lover screamed out at the neighbors. He wanted to inform him of how useless it was to shout demands at the couple next door, inevitabley it would only make things worse and mark their house as a target for their albino neighbor's schennanigans. But he'd learned throughly since the troublemakers had moved in a couple weeks ago that Neji Hyuuga did what he damn well pleased when he was upset, which didn't happen often, thankfully.

"You shut your dirty whore mouth you fucking snobby motherfucker! I'll fucking come over there and rip that pretty shit hair right out of your head and shove it right up your-"

He slammed the window shut, shuddering from the continued threats being shamelessly flung at him for all to hear. He turned to find an amused Shikamaru staring back at him, one brow raised. His cheeks burned with the anger he desperatley tried to contain. It was absolutly unbearable to let men older than they were behave in such a way. It was plain embarrasing. And this had been going on for far too long in his opinion.

To be honest he'd been quite please to hear the gossip on the two beasts next door when they were first lugging in their furniture, a cheap and shabby as it was. It pleased him to no end to see what appeared to him as an interracial older gay couple becoming neighbors. Finally they would have someone in the neighborhood to relate with, someone to help them ward off the bullys that persisted to graffiti their house and all their other means of gay-bashing.

OH, but introducing themselves had been an adventure. He was shocked to find such behavior coming from the younger of the two ,who he learned didn't have or didn't wish anyone to know their last names. He was absolutley foul in every way, and it possibley had made it more shocking seeing as the fact that the man was so physically alluring.

"That man is a monster in human clothes." he mumbled before slipping back into bed. The spikey-haired man beside him laughed quietly.

"I don't understand how you can be so unfazed by those two.." Neji sighed and brushed hair from his eyes. He hated to sleep with it in a pony tail but it fell in his face so much... He often quarreled with himself over whether to get it cut or not.

"They're troublesome indeed, but the best thing you can really do is ignore them." Shikamaru muttered, his face returning to its usual bored expression as he watched his boyfriend fuss with his hair. But a very loud and sudden crash sent his dark eyes flicking to the window, and had Neji snorting at his comment.

"How can you possibley ignore that?"

"Motherfucker! That fucking hurt Kakuzu!"

Kakuzu, Neji hadn't quite figured him out. To be honest, the older member of the household across the way sort of inherently terrified him. He would swear to God that the dark skinned man who never revealed his face was some sort of terrorist. He hated so much to toss stereotypes like that around, but it was so difficult not to assume. The only thing that helped deterr the thought was that the man lacked the accent, but his voice was extremley deep and just one of those that you'd think to hear from the serial killer in a horror movie. It wasn't much of an exchange.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes, "Well, You can't ignore it I suppose. But taking any action against it is just more trouble than it's worth. " The sound of glass violently breaking made him flinch slightly, and he did his best to give Neji and comforting smile. "Soon enough we'll have the house paid off, then we can turn it around and buy a new one far, far away from here and sell this one to some other suckers."

"It's unfair of us to have to be the ones to move away though! We worked so hard to build up the credit enough to get this house, we've undouptedly increased the value of this place by thousands since we've been here. It's been personalized by us for us. We shouldn't have to be the ones to move. I don't understand why you don't try harder to use that wonderful brain of yours to get them out."

The Young Nara shrugged. They'd talked about this near fifty times, and he could only repeat the same thing so many times before he just didn't care to anymore. There really was no settling his partner when he was riled by those two. And he couldn't deny that those across the street were insane, because they undouptedly were, no question there. But he'd even gone and talked to the man, Kakuzu, a few times before. He seemed the closest one to sanity and was the head of the household, but he'd only informed Shikamaru that there really was no controlling Hidan. And that damn man was so invested in the property that he'd spent what he called 'far too much' money on, Shikamaru knew it wouldn't be worth the effort. He had met a scant few like Kakuzu, just from his demeanor he knew the man would hardley be scared of anything. And just as well, Shikamaru wasn't a weak man, but Kakuzu... he would probably grind him into the dust should things brew to any sort of physical fight. The man was experienced, and tough, and Shikamaru had once witnessed him literally tearing Hidan limb from limb. He had gotten terribley ill that night... and his poor boyfriend hadn't the slightlest clue. He kept insisting he paid closer attention to what he ate.

There was a knock at the door, and Neji's face contorted with rage.

"Don't answer it."

The brunette flipped the covers off himself and twisted to get it.

"Neji, don't answer it."

"I'm going to tell that asshole off."

"I'm telling you, you really don't want to answer that."

"Don't tell me what I don't want to do..."

He listened to the quick and heavy footsteps as his lover stomped angrily to the front door. Shikamaru rolled his eyes and swept the blanket off himself too. If it was, indeed, Hidan at the door then he would have to use his jutsu to keep from destroying the house in his inevitable attempt to rip his lover apart. And as ticked off as he was, Sikamaru would probably have to use it on him as well to keep him from fighting back. Neji may still be unaware, or perhaps not because the guy was sharper than a shuriken, but trying to injure the prematurely gray-haired man was a complete and total waste of energy. He may complain when pain was inflicted but Shikamaru had the suspicion that he was some sort of masochist, surely some part of the made-up God the man followed devotely.

"What a drag..." he muttered, taking out his toothpick and flicking it into the trashcan.

"Hey! I need a favor."

"Shove it up your ass cretin, get off my property." The door squeaked as Neji tried to slam it shut, and a loud thunk shook the walls as Hidan most likely slammed his foot down to stop it.

"You little bitch. Quit being a shitty neighbor!"

"ME?" Neiji almost shreiked.

Shikamaru trudged into the room and sighed deeply. Really, it was almost two in the morning. This was rediculous. Hidan, the mentally unstable and physically perfect neighbor was at the door. There were very few spots on his exposed upper torso that weren't covered in either dark bruises or what was likely his own blood. And the man was absolutly covered in dirt. Glass shards were wedged into his right hand and forearm, which looked as if it had been nearly ripped off.

Shikamaru tipped his head as he looked at it. Yea, it definatly had to be at least pulled from the socket. And yet the man was standing there as if it were the most normal thing in the world. But, he couldn't really say he didn't expect it. In all honesty seeing the terrible things the zealot did on a daily basis kind of did make it normal for him to show up like this.

"Neji, please keep your composure." he muttered under his breath. It was more to himself since he doupted his lover could hear anyway. Hidan heard, or just now noticed the Nara's presence and his violet eyes flicked over to him. The smile he gave Shikamaru made his skin crawl, and he could swear he even winked at him. Neji must obviously not have seen, being the jealous man that he was.

"Anyway, Kakuzu won't let me back in the house."

Neji barked out a laugh that was almost humerous in it's extreme sarcasm. "You'll have to kill me before I'll let you step foot in this house."

Hidan stared at him without a trace of emotion, Shikamaru's heart seemed to jump up into his throat. The Hyuuga knew damn well better than to give that maniac an invitation like that. He took a few steps forward, getting ready to restrain the both of them. It really was difficult to keep the jashinist under control when he was pissed enough, however. He'd had to break up a fight between the couple next door exactly twice in the two horribley long weeks they'd been here. Normally he would just let them fight it out, but at the rate they were going, the fight would have moved onto his property and most likeley flattened his house in the process.

"I'll give you my weed." Hidan said, shrugging.

This of course threw both of them off, and left them both speechless. "What.. what's wrong with you?" Neji stammered.

Hidan raised his eyebrow, unusually calm. "Aw c'mon. I smell the dank ass shit you guys smoke all the time. I'm not fucking stupid. It's good stuff. Zetsu grows it himself. You know a fucker that's half-plant knows his shit."

"Are you serious?" Shikamaru accidentally said out loud. He had seen the monsterous plant man only once, and it was only for a moment. Taking what he had just heard he could only assume he had been delivering marijuana to Hidan, and Shikamaru had run home to pick something up. He had just taken the first step off his porch when he looked up and locked eyes across the way with the beastly man. The man had literally sunk into the ground right in front of him, giving a wicked smile that resulted in night terrors for Shikamaru for a total of 3 nights. Poor Neji had been beside himself, but even if he'd wanted to explain he didn't think he could.

"As tits. I swear to the great and mightly Lord Jashin I won't trash your place. But I've slept outside before, it's fucking gay. Don't wanna go through that shit again. Had so damn many mosquito bites, pretty sure I died at least 3 times from West Nile..."

"Please... I really couldn't care less..." Neji interrupted. But shikamaru's interest had been peaked. Neji seemed to catch this, and turned to give him a 'Don't even think about it' glare.

A low shout that was unmistakeabley Kakuzu made Neji turn back to Hidan, who head turned as well back toward his house. Neither of the pair could discern what was being said, but Hidan's face broke into a grin, and Shikamaru could only assume that it was an order for him to get back over there.

"Eh, false alarm guys. Thanks for your fuckin' hospitality though." He flicked Neji on the ear before turning and leaping off the porch, laughing. Shikamaru had to quickly restrain the Hyuuga before he went barreling after him. It really was just easier to leave them alone, as badley as he wanted to let him go. He could see the scenario in his mind. He had yet to really actually see the albino man fight seriously, but something told him he would be formidable. Neji could damn well take care of himself, but that man, with his horrible sadistic god and his own masochistic nature... he had to have something hidden up his sleeve that they had yet to see. Shikamaru shuddered at the thought, though his curiosity betrayed him. He couldn't decide as to whether he wanted to witness it or not...

After a surprisingly short amount of time the two were back in bed, Shika's eeys drooping dangerously low.

"Good God that man is a psycopath..." Neji muttered pulling the blanket up over his shoulder.

"Just ignore it.." Nara said drearily..

"That's like trying to ignore the temperature. Trying to ignore that man is like going out in the middle of a blizzard in a damn leotard. Absolutly miserable. You should go have another talk with Kakuzu in the morning." Neji ended matter-of-factly, and Shikamaru felt his face harden. He hated going over there, why couldn't he just leave it the hell alone. It wouldn't do a single damn thing and the thought of having to look into that mans multicolored eyes (seeing as that was the only part of his face you could see, and Shikamaru didn't like to seem imtimidated) made his gut churn. Red scelera with unrealistically defined green irises and no pupil seemed like an almost comical combination, christmas-y more like. But there was nothing content or joyous in them. Shikamaru couldn't help but think that those eyes were the last thing that many, many dead men had seen.

It petrified him.

"Or, you could go over there." He said back to Neji, trying to conceal the irritation he felt at the demand.

"Me? Why can't you do it?"

"I've already tried that a few times before, it didn't make any difference. Maybe you could come at it from another angle that would make them respond better."

"Oh please." Neji flipped the hair out of his face again. "If you insist on being the dominate one in this relationship then you need to accept the roles. That includes you being the one to stand up to people that piss me off."

"Or we could just be equal, you know. We don't have to be like every other gay couple."

"You know it would happen despite that. It's human nature."

"Ugh, such a draaag.." Shikamaru moaned. Neji just snorted and turned off the lamp.

A/N- Baah, Yea, that is not the end. Don't fret. I'm actually going to do a multichaptered story on this one, per request of my wonderful bestie fluffyisemo. It's usually really hard for me to prolong a story, just because I'm in a certain mood when I write each story and if I don't finish it right then and there then who knows when I'll be able to get back into the same mood. It makes it really annoying, you see to try to continue a story in a different mindset than when you first started writing. Then the whole flow and mood of the story changes and I get unsatisfied with it and have to go back to what was already written and touch it up...

BUT! I digress...

I'm going to do multiple chapters. So remain calm. I'll try to do them relitively quickly because I know how torturous it is to sit and wait for someone to add to a story.

Mm, but anyway, hope you enjoy! REVIEW!
