They had arrived at the infamous farm.
There was something menacing lacing the air around the rotting building, something that crept up Sasukes spine and settled heavily in his stomach. It made him want to turn back the second he stepped in under it`s darkening shadow.
The barn had obviously been painted a deep crimson a long, long time ago. The paint was flaking. Flecks of rotting wood visible in the most weather ridden and used areas. The windows were cracked and broken, someone had nailed large pieces of transparent plastic around them to keep the weather out. And the loose ends were baffling in the wind that beat against the walls.
The snow hadn`t melted around the barn. Not completely, there were still large patches of white littering the road leading to a half open door that stood beating against the frame, its hinges creaking. There was a faint light coming from inside it, letting them know that that was where they were headed with their heavy load. But there was more than enough sloppy, wet, white mud with ice underneath on the road along with the white specks of snow.
They were slipping all over the place. Soaking wet from the numerous falls caused by the trashing demon.
The air felt hard as it was sucked down into Sasukes lungs. They had already dropped the demon into the sloppy white remnants of snow covering the mud three times, and his muscles was screaming in pain when he yet again bent down to haul the struggling body up again. The demon was gaining strength with every fall, and Sasuke gave Gaara a critical look. They couldn`t afford to drop him again. The powerful blood magic was loosing it`s bind on the demon each time they dropped the heavy body into the mud, the melting snow washing away more blood with every fall.
Gaara was cursing, threatening the bashing boy with bodily harm unless he stopped moving. But even Gaara had understood that that was hopeless. The demon knew he was in trouble now.. knew where they were. Somehow… Maybe he could sense the exorcist? Sasuke didn`t know. But he was not behaving. At all. They had gagged him somewhere along the ride to the farm. So at least they only had to deal with half muddled screams.
You can only listen to threats and painful recollections from your past for so long before it really starts gnawing at you. It took Sasuke exactly two minutes before he had ripped of a piece from Naruto`s shirt and used it as a gag, mindful of the sharp teeth snapping after his hands when he leaned over his seat to tie it around the blondes head. He didn`t want to sit there and listen to how his uncle had tried to abuse him when he was a kid for an entire ride. And he especially didn`t want to look at the pained look in Gaaras eyes when Narutos raspy voice laughed as he made guesses as to how Kankuro and Temari had felt when they were buried alive by their little brother.
Sasuke cursed when a foot made connection with his shin. The pain shot up his leg making him falter, falling down to one knee, losing Naruto into the cold mud. “Fucking hell!” he wanted to scream out his frustration to the world. Preferably take it out on the source of his problems.. the now laughing blonde on the ground. It was a muffled laugh, but it was there.. shining from the azure blue eyes
And every time Sasuke saw those eyes, he knew he couldn`t do any harm towards this body. Because even if he beat the shit out of the boy on the ground. In an hour, or hopefully less, Naruto was the one who would feel the pain from the bruises.
Naruto would have enough to hurt from.
“Kyuubi!” Sasuke bit his tongue.. `Kyuubi… `that’s what Orichimaru said the demon was called. It`s name.. To think that it had a name. He felt a shiver run through him. The damned thing had been in one of the excorsists many books. The particular book where he was mentioned was so old that it had to be kept in perfect dry conditions, a book written on human skin with human blood as ink, a book older than any of the other books he owned. That’s what the snake had sneered at Sasuke anyway when he had had the nerve to doubt the truth behind the exorcist deductions.
Sasuke hadn`t even bothered to argue anymore with the exorcist, Orochimaru had sounded thrilled, almost giddy when he had told Sasuke about Kyuubi. The demon fox. Like he was happy that it had possessed Naruto.
“Fucking demon scum.. why can`t you just fucking lie still..” Gaaras voice was tired, angry. The redhead had dropped Naruto too. Standing over him while dragging the cold evening air through his lungs. He growled before he bent down and grabbed a hold of the demons legs. “Fine! If you won`t stop wiggling like a fucking eel I`ll fucking drag you inside. Don`t even think that I`m stupid enough to shoot you just because you`re a major pain in the ass, and not even in the good way.” Sasuke almost smiled at the blatant annoyance in the usually silent redheads voice.
“What Gaara? Losing your patience?” Sasuke huffed as he joined Gaara in literally dragging the trashing boy towards the open barn door, praying to the gods that the blood magic would hold till they got him inside. But he was losing heart with every step. There was a little whisper in his mind. And he recognized it for what it was. “Fuck Gaara.. we need to hurry.”
The redhead nodded and they doubled their pace, almost running. Heading towards the small light coming from inside. Chasing away some of the falling darkness. They had missed the sunset, too busy with the demon and keeping him captive to even notice that darkness had swallowed the world. The world was a dark blue, everything looked so pretty. So serene.. So quiet.
“NO! let me go! Fucking human scum! Don`t think I`ll let you get away with this.. I`ll get you. I`ll fucking get you…” The demon started laughing. “ I can`t wait to rip out your eyes.. I`ll invite some old friends and have a feast.” somehow the demon had managed to loosen his gag, probably snagged it on something on the ground, pulling it off. Sasuke closed his ears. He didn`t want to hear this, didn`t need it.
He startled when all of a sudden a man stood in front of him. He looked much younger than what he had imagined Orochimaru to be. His grey hair didn`t looked aged, just natural silver.. such a fascinating color. His face was young but troubled where he stood silently just observing them.
It looked like he was finished thinking when suddenly he smiled, pushing his spectacles up his nose, making the round glasses reflect the candle light in his hand. He moved swiftly forward, sticking a needle into Narutos arm as he spoke “Hello, I`m Dr.Kabuto, Orochimaru is right this way if you would just follow me.”
Sasuke growled.”You`re not even gonna help us?”
But the man didn`t even seem to have heard him as he vanished in through a door, making it complete dark when he didn`t bother to hold the door for them. The darkness bringing forth such an eerie feeling it made Sasukes stomach churn in nervous knots. Enhancing the smell of old dust and rotting wood, you could almost taste the cobwebs on your tongue. Sasuke found himself thinking that at least it didn`t smell like rotting cattle or stale animal feces.
He would have thought that he should feel calmer now. They were finally here, finally were they going to get help, save Naruto and cast out the demon. But he didn`t, he felt sicker than ever. And if he hadn`t been so damned tired he would have probably objected the situation, tried a little bit harder to find another way.
But as it were, he just cursed and dragged the struggling body with him. thankful that at least the bastard had been kind enough to drug him back down. The kicking and wiggling not so overwhelming anymore. Thank god he had Gaara with him.
Never would he have thought that he would think that. To be glad to have Gaara around.
Oh, what was the world coming to? Sasuke smiled an ironic smile, no doubt confusing the redhead. Because Gaara frowned at him, shaking his head. “Stop smiling and help me lift this sonovabitch in through the door.
It was a very tall threshold, reaching up to Sasukes knees. And they had to literally lift him. Sasuke taking a hold around the thin wrists while Gaara lifted at the knees to get him over. The demon suddenly went completely silent as soon as they crossed the threshold, his eyes snapping open as red pooled into the once clear blue. He was breathing hard, and Sasuke could only guess that he was working hard to wear down the drugs.
The room was large, and the smell of old hey lay heavy in the air. There were candles lit everywhere. Making shadows flitter on the walls. Sasuke was slightly amazed that nothing caught fire. There was another man standing there, right next to something that resembled an operating table very much. It was a metallic plate, supported by four feet… just like a table, only with leather straps on the four corners. A huge black star encircled by a thick line of something that Sasuke suspected to be fresh blood painted in the middle where the persons back would be. There were also several other things next to it. Medical things.. the last things Sasuke expected to find really. There was a heart monitor among other things and a crash cart.
He wasn`t sure what he had expected, but it had been more along the lines of weird symbols painted in blood or feathers and incense, or maybe even a priest with a bible, a cross and holy water. Anything.. medical supplies had not been it. Or..
He took a second look around. There were symbols, all over the walls. And for some reason, that calmed him down. On each wall there were painted that same gigantic star with a circle around it. the only difference from the star painted on the table was the weird symbols painted at all star corners along with one in the middle, he could also see that there were scribbles written all around the circles.
It looked like something pulled straight from a really bad Hollywood horror movie.
“Hello Sasuke kun, it was so very nice of you to bring Naruto here, rest assured he is safe now.”
Sasuke didn`t feel reassured at all.
The man standing right in front of him looked even less pleasant than he sounded. Sasuke couldn`t quite put his mind on what it was, but it was something. The man was clearly handsome in his own way. Very tall and slim, deathly pale… like a twisted version of snow white. Ebony black hair, skin as white as snow, the only thing missing was the ruby red lips. This mans lips were pale and stretched in an unnatural looking smile. His face looked almost feline, his eyes a bit too narrow. They looked golden in the dimmed candle light. He had some weird makeup on. A purple line going down the inside of his nose on either side. Almost like he was trying to resemble a snake.
Sasuke grit his teeth and met those golden eyes, staring defiant up at the almost laughing man. He seemed to be having a good time. Like he was enjoying this, and he probably was too. It absolutely disgusted Sasuke.
“What do you plan on doing? How do you plan to get that thing out of my friend without killing him?” Sasuke demanded.
The snake man laughed a broken laughter barely concealed with a hiss behind his hand . “Oh my, oh my…. I get the distinct feeling that you don`t trust me. Why is that Sasuke kun? When clearly, I am your only hope? Don`t worry Sasuke, Jiraya is a dear friend of mine, I will try my best to have Naruto alive after this.”
Sasuke wanted to throw a punch at the man, but he didn`t. he just steeled himself and helped Gaara lift the still struggling demon onto the table where Kabuto gestured for them to put him. he had a new needle in his hand, and as soon as they had put Naruto down, he inserted the transcendent liquid into his arm.
There was a whine of discomfort from Naruto before he stilled, his eyes wide open as he struggled for breath. Little gasps was all he seemed to manage, and his whole body rattled with the effort.
Tears started running down his cheek when his complexion changed, his skin turning a sicken grey.
“W-whats going on?”
“He is dying.. In order to extract the demon, the host must die.”
“What?!” Sasuke yelled, Panic was bubbling up inside him, filling his chest, he wanted to scream. But he didn`t. instead he grabbed the blondes hand, sick pushing its way up his throat when he felt for his pulse, it was so, so very weak. Only a soft flutter, like a little birds wing, fluttering frantically while his skin was growing colder and colder.
Naruto.. oh god, Naruto was dying.
Orochimaru was killing Naruto.
And it was all Sasukes fault. Sasukes fault for bringing him here, even when his instincts screamed that he shouldn`t. He should have just taken him to the mental hospital, convinced them to drug him up till he found another way.
Sasuke felt himself trembling. Gaara was there too. But he didn`t look sad, or angry… his face was blank. Like always. Not that Sasuke had suspected him to feel anything. But it really hurt, and angered him. Almost as bad as Orochimaru not giving Naruto a chance.
“What the hell?! Why? Why does he have to die.. you, you promised!” Sasuke was screaming, yelling. But he was unable to take his eyes away from Naruto`s face. The way the blond was heaving for breath, his hand gripping Sasukes almost painfully. And it was Naruto in there now, Naruto was the one in control. A smile drifted over his handsome face when his eyes finally found Sasuke, and he was; Handsome. Despite the way his skin was paling, his jaw open while he fought for breath.
The breaths slowing down now..
“Save him… I mean it! Save him… or I swear to God I`ll kill you. I`ll fucking burn you alive unless you save him!”
Sasuke was crying, he knew he was. But he couldn`t care less that the others could see it. They were running around them, Orochimaru chanting something. It didn’t sound like a human language. It consisted mostly of hisses and whispers of words long forgotten to the rest of the world.
Suddenly a pair of arms encircled him from behind, tugging him up against a warm body, holding him close - and he knew it was Gaara. “Shh…calm down Sasuke, you`re losing it. They are going to save him. Just calm down. He`s fighting for you. You`re only making it harder. Once they get the demon out, Kabuto is going to administer the antidote before they shock him back to life, okay. But you need to calm down. Tell Naruto it`s okay.. that you`ll be here when he wakes back up. He needs to stop fighting.. and you need to tell him that. He`s only making it harder for himself by fighting like he is now.”
Sasuke wasn`t so sure if he believed Gaara, not really. Not with this.
But he had to.
So he leaned down and kissed Narutos forehead, brushing away the golden hair, whispering softly spoken words along with small kisses against his damp skin. “It`s alright Naruto, we`re going to save you.. you`ll come back to me, and I`ll be here. I promise. Just.. Shhh.. stop fighting it. I love you.”
It seemed to do the trick. Azure blue eyes stared at him for a few seconds more before a pained moan left those precious lips. They opened one last time to let out one last breath before he closed his eyes and laid still.
Silence…
Everything was so very, very silent.
Sasuke was desperately wanting to hear another intake of breath, even when he knew that it wouldn`t come. Shouldn`t come, not yet. But oh god.. `breathe, breathe, breathe..` It was just so fucking unnatural;- to be standing so close, and still be unable to see that chest heave for breath. There was nothing.. not a flutter.
He could hear his own ragged sob breaking through the thick mass of silence that seemed to have settled over them, feel how his hand clenched around the limp one he held.. it was already turning colder. He saw Orochimaru moving from his place, coming closer, and Kabuto was pressing two fingers to Narutos pulse point while staring intently on his watch. His voice sounded too normal, too steady when he spoke. Like he wasn`t affected by the situation at all. “Three minutes..”
Orochimaru gave a curt nod, opening a silver vial and holding it right under Narutos mouth. The exorcist was murmuring slippery words slithering of his tongue while his hand stroked through Narutos golden hair. Sasuke couldn`t understand a word of what he was saying, but he was talking with the same tone like he would to a child. Comforting, lovingly almost.
It made Sasuke sick, anger boiling beneath his skin, so very close to the surface. He wanted to smack the man across the jaw. Yell at him. Let him know just how sick he thought it was that Orochimaru was treating the demon like something precious. Something wanted. But he didn`t comment on it, he held his tongue, letting Gaara hold him.
There was something happening, Sasuke could feel it. Every single little hair on his skin was standing on edge. Energy skittering up his spine, like static electricity blended with heat. Too much heat. His skin was boiling, but at the same time he couldn`t feel it at all. Almost like the heat was numbing him.
Gaaras arms tightened around Sasuke.
“Two minutes” Kabutos voice sounded business like as always, but there was something akin to excitement shining in his grey eyes. He propped his glasses up his nose in an excited manner before he went back to counting the seconds.
Orochimarus words seemed hastened, he was chanting faster and faster..
It had been a long time since he had seen something this powerful. He couldn`t wait to hold the demon fox in his collection.
Orochimaru didn`t exercise demons to throw them back to hell. Oh no.
He cast them out so that he could capture them and use them. Use their powers. His ultimate goal was immortality. But none of the other demons he had gotten his hands on had been suitable for that purpose. None of them had been strong enough for that. But this one here.. Oh yes. Kyuubi…Orochimaru was so excited he was practically jumping where he stood.
But he forced himself to calm down, to focus on the task at hand. He closed his eyes and started the chant again, letting his tongue roll out the practiced words with the outmost ease. Feeling the power surge through him. He was demanding the demon to come out. And without a living host, the demon fox had no other choice but to let go. And when it did.. Orochimaru was ready to capture it.
And the demon knew it…
He felt the heat of the silver almost burn him as Kyuubi struggled to stay out of the enchanted flask. The damned thing was mighty strong. Almost too strong. Orochimaru could feel sweat form on his upper lip. His head throbbing in an uncomfortable way as he had to focus on streaming the massive amounts of energy into the little silver flask that was sizzling with demonic energies, almost scorching him through the thick glove he had put on.
Never had it been this hot from an exorcism, never had anything fought him this hard.
It was exciting as hell.
There was a brief swell of power, shattering the few windows that up until this moment had been whole, forcing the old wood in the barn to groan as it bowed, shaking critically before everything fell silent. Just the creaking and complaining of the old wood sounding through the brief silence.
The silver turned cold in his hand again, and Orochimaru was unable to tear his eyes from it. He didn`t notice it when Kabuto started shouting orders to the two boys who had brought the demons host inn.
Didn`t notice it when he started shocking the life back to Naruto.
He almost didn`t notice it when the cold nussle of a gun was placed against his forehead as soon as the boy lying on the table was breathing by his own devises again. Sasuke undoing the buckles holding Naruto down.
