Chapter Eighteen

�Long time no see, Sasuke,� a dangerously calm voice said from behind him. �I believe you have something of mine. Give it back.� Itachi had been guarding the hideout from the trees above and had almost missed the strange presence that quickly slipped inside. He was a little surprised to find the source of the seemingly inhuman presence turn into his younger brother, but maybe he'd be able to kill two birds with one stone. He been planning on extracting the demon from Naruto within the week and now he could make Sasuke watch.
Sasuke froze and then turned slowly. His grip on Naruto remained unchanged. �Like hell...� he growled, a strange note reverberating behind his angry tone. It was in fact a very feline growl. Sasuke was truly pissed now. The only thing keeping him from ripping Itachi apart was the slight, warm body in his arms. He looked down and then back up to Itachi. �Take one long last look, and make it a good one. You just failed. Permanently... but you'll only live to regret it... for a month at the most.� Sasuke's iron cold and deadly voice was steady. There was no blazing rage, no declarations of immediate death right here and now for Itachi. None. The Blood Lust was starting to raise a little because it fed from the anger and the hate � which had increased tenfold now - and wanted to avenge those emotions. Sasuke, however, ignored the craving in favor of getting out of there now! �Stand down...� he warned knowing that if he turned to leave Itachi would pounce.
Itachi's eyes narrowed, hiding some of his Sharingan. Sasuke's strange new presence almost sent shivers down his spine, but he kept his ground, confident in the fact that he was still stronger than his brother. He considered using the Mangekyou Sharingan on Sasuke for a moment but decided against it since it would most likely result in Sasuke dropping Naruto and the demon container was too fragile to take that kind of treatment. He was a little surprised at just how calm his younger brother was, but he hadn't seen him for almost six years, so he supposed a change in attitude like this wasn't exactly uncalled for. What almost shocked him was the fact that Sasuke wasn't declaring "I'm going to kill you". Was he actually... putting a friend first? A slow sly smirk appeared over Itachi's mouth. �What are you going to do with him? Kill him so that you can kill me? He must be your closest friend for you to come looking for him like this.�
Weak and still convinced this was some strange hallucination Naruto just watched the interaction between the last two of the great Uchiha clan.
�Tch,� he snorted a little and flipped one errant bang back into place with a slight toss of his head. �What the hell are you getting at, Itachi?� he sneered. �Trying to ease your boredom by making a challenge for yourself out of me? Or are you just that stupid? Thinking the Magenkyou Sharingan is the most powerful ability or Jutsu in the universe...� The defiance in his face was nothing compared to the superiority that shone brightly in his obsidian gaze. He faced Itachi and left the Sharingan at peace.
The smirk fell right off Itachi's face. How dare this whelp talk to him like that! �Give him back, Sasuke,� he said with dangerous calm.
�No,� Sasuke said flatly his low voice equally calm, but almost taunting.
Quick as lightning Itachi struck out, meaning to break Sasuke's grip on Naruto so that he could take him - and the demon he held - back to use for his purposes.
Sasuke braced himself tightened his grip on Naruto minutely and then gathered his Power. Telekinesis could be used in more than the simple retrieval of objects. The surge of power was unseen and unsensed as it hit Itachi square in the chest. �Don't ever... come near him again, Itachi...� he growled, that feline sound behind his tones again.
Not one to give up so soon Itachi tried again, this time watching Sasuke carefully with the Sharingan to copy whatever it was that he had just done.
Again, as Itachi neared him the older Uchiha was thrown back by an invisible wall of pure, coursing Power. Sasuke's mouth was set and grim. He really didn't want to waste any more time here... Naruto needed more than he could offer at this very moment and Sasuke was already going to have to travel a little during early and late days to make it back to the village.
Eyes blazing with fury at the fact that he couldn't see what Sasuke was doing and that he was actually being beaten by someone with both arms full Itachi lunged again.
This time Sasuke let him get close and then he went up on the tip toe of one foot and raised the other high above both their heads. The heel of the raised foot smashed down powerfully into the back of Itachi's head, all faster than even the Sharingan could record. Sasuke then backed up enough to be out Itachi's range and closer to the door. He wasn't turning his back until Itachi was out cold or gone and he was sure of one or the other.
Itachi's face hit the stone floor with a sickening crunch and he lay there, completely still except for his faint breathing. He was stone cold out.
Satisfied by Itachi's vital signs that he was out cold and not about to be going after them, Sasuke used a touch more telekinesis to steal Itachi's cloak. It would serve him as a sun block for the journey away from there which would be made with all due speed. He walked out of the hide-out with Naruto held snugly against him. He didn't dare chance teleporting with Naruto in the condition he was in. �Naruto?� he inquired softly when they were a little ways away from the prison.
The fox-boy had fallen asleep in his arms. The first semi-restful sleep he'd had in a month.
He listened for a moment - without breaking stride - to Naruto's sound breathing and sighed a little with relief. It wasn't until near dawn - too near for Sasuke's comfort, but they had made it and they were safe so he counted his blessings - that Sasuke found a place that would hide him from the sunlight. A cave set into the side of a very large hill, or a very small mountain. This part of the journey was woods. Animal blood would sustain him until he reached home, but for right now he only cared about Naruto. Gently he laid the limp body of the fox-boy out on the ground and cupped Naruto�s head between his hands and kissed the fox-boy right in the middle of the forehead. �Naruto... wake up and look at me...� he crooned and laid the cloak over top of the boy's still form.
Slowly Naruto's eyes fluttered halfway open, glazed with fatigue and malnourishment. �Sasuke...?� he whispered, his voice rough from dehydration.
�Hai...� he smiled faintly down at Naruto and cradled his face between warm hands. �I'm going to have you drink something that will make you feel better.... do you trust me?� and while he asked that of the host he asked of the parasite. *Do you object to this?* Not wanting Kyuubi's possible rejection to hamper the healing.
The feeling the demon sent back was one of "Are you kidding?! Of course I don't object!! Idiot!!" From Naruto he got the slightest of nods. Naruto still thought this was all some strange dream and decided he might as well humor himself.
Satisfied, and a little amused at Kyuubi's sudden and seemingly eager acceptance of him, Sasuke slipped one hand behind Naruto's head and sat him up wrapping another around Naruto's shoulders. He pulled him close and then let his blond head fall against one black clothed shoulder. The hand that had been supporting Naruto's head came up and Sasuke drew his sharp thumb nail over the vein in his neck. It cut surprisingly deep and immediately blood began to well. Now he was thankful that he had gorged himself. Naruto could use the extra. The hand that had done the cutting moved back around to cup the back of Naruto's head. �Drink...� he encouraged knowing already that his blood smelled and tasted far richer and sweeter than regular blood. It meant that Naruto could get some of the nutrients he needed and his vampiric blood would Heal Naruto mostly within the next week or so, thus giving Kyuubi plenty of time to restock on chakra. Sasuke aided Naruto further by guiding him to the cut.
Making a face at the smell of blood Naruto weakly tried to pull his face away, whimpering in protest. He didn't understand how drinking blood was supposed to help him. It took quite a bit of growling on Kyuubi's part before he tentatively licked at the cut, making a face again at the strange taste.
�Just please, Naruto. I'm asking you to trust me...� Sasuke coaxed, and he continued to murmur coaxing words even after Naruto had taken his first lick. Even if it was odd, the little bit that Naruto had taken in was enough to let the boy's body know what it needed and Sasuke's offer had it all (like Gatorade and an energy bar) in one sweet liquid form. Sasuke, all the while, stroked Naruto back and shoulder soothingly. �Just a little more and then I'll let you sleep...�
Naruto lapped up a little more before struggling, trying to get away from the cut and Sasuke's strange blood. He decided he most definitely did not like this dream. Nope, not one bit.
Even that little bit would give Kyuubi a Power boost. It wouldn't be a big one but it would certainly give the Youma more to work with. He finally let Naruto lay back down and tucked the cloak up about him. �Sleep now Naruto... if you wake up during the day and find me Resting... don't be alarmed ok? ::If he wakes up that will mean he'll be at least lucid enough to recognize me, realize I have no pulse... No, Naruto is intelligent enough... and although he's in a bad way right now.... he'll be fine shortly.:: Sasuke stretched out on his side alongside Naruto on the floor of the cave and then he rested a hand over Naruto's heart. �I will guard you, no matter what,� he said firmly to Naruto already half expecting Naruto to be sleeping.
Tired as he was Naruto dredged up the energy to wriggle a hand free from underneath the cloak, groping for Sasuke. Weakly his fingers clutched at the fabric of his friend's shirt.
Sasuke shifted his grip and cautiously pulled Naruto to him scooting closer himself until he could curl up around the still slightly smaller Naruto a little. �I've got you... You're safe,� he soothed.
Too exhausted to keep his eyes open any longer Naruto gave Sasuke briefest, tiniest of smiles before falling into a deep, healing sleep.
Dawn came and went, but Sasuke remained awake. He was surprised at first, but then he remembered something Naruto had said a long time ago about having a precious person to protect making one stronger. He believed now if he could resist the daylight like this. He decided that he would wait for Naruto to wake up and say that he was ready to travel with assistance before they would move on. Kyuubi would certainly find a way to warn him if something was going terribly wrong with Naruto's body. He brushed the fox's sleeping mind just to double-check his health and status.
Kyuubi rumbled at him tiredly in complaint at being disturbed. Aside from the fact that he was so low on chakra, the demon was perfectly fine. It was his host that had taken almost all of the damage of their imprisonment.
Satisfied with that response, Sasuke planted a soft kiss on the top of Naruto's head and tightened his arm about the boy's body. �We'll be home soon...� he murmured very softly. �And then everything will be fine....�
