Chapter 2
‘You love him.’
I couldn’t
answer that, but I was shocked that Kyuubi said it so quietly- almost…
sadly. I couldn’t bring myself to ask the Bijuu why, though. Instead, I
wrapped my arm around his waist and put Sasuke’s arm over my shoulder and
jumped up onto the roof. From there, I found the quickest way out of the
village and took him out into the forest where we could talk. We didn’t
want to be in that alley if anyone had heard the skirmish and decided to investigate.
I eased Sasuke down onto a tree branch and settled down
beside him. “Just rest, like I said, we need to talk.”
“What in the fucking hell just happened to me? W-Why
did I just…”
“You’ll feel better in a while; just try to
relax. Vayne was just an asshole who’s been up to no good in this area
for months. You’ve been an avenger for about as long as I’ve known
you- and that’s a long time, Sasuke. We grew up in the same town, went to
school together and even got assigned to the same Genin team. That’s no tattoo
on your neck. The cursed seal amplifies your anger and aggression; it is
hurting you right now because you were trying to resist killing him. Even though your mind doesn’t remember
who you are yet, you’re still a ninja.”
“Why should I trust you? He
said I betrayed you, that you should kill me and-”
“Well, he also urged you to
kill him. What part of that sounds like he was mentally stable to you?”
“Okay, but you
haven’t exactly assured me that I’m innocent.”
I looked down, “I
can’t lie to you, Sasuke. It really hurt when you left our village,
because you never said goodbye. You drove me absolutely crazy sometimes,
because we really did argue a lot, but I just never expected to loose my best
friend and certainly not to that creepy freak Orochimaru…”
“Who is this Orochimaru guy
anyway?”
“Orochimaru?
He was only one of the most powerful people in our whole world- and he wanted
to take over your body. You killed him though, so I guess maybe you were
training even harder than any of us ever realized.” I had an idea, one
that might help him remember something…
“Watch this.” I
gathered my chakra and made the seals that would change my appearance and I
focused on the image of the dark Sannin. Tall, pale and lean, with long, coal
black hair and bright amber eyes; it made my skin crawl just to look like that
asshole. I was glad to change back a moment later. Equally unnerving for me was
how easily my chakra mimicked the poisonous, manipulative feeling of danger
that his had carried for so long…
Sasuke seemed to shake off his
surprise pretty easily. “How did you do that?”
“I just used my chakra to
make a disguise that looked like him. So, did that help? Do you remember that
guy?”
Sasuke was silent for about a
minute and a half. “I see him in my nightmares sometimes, he…
he’s always surrounded by snakes.”
I nodded and we both smiled.
“Yeah, that’s him alright!”
‘He is so beautiful,’ the smile was beautiful but he
looked away pretty quickly. I’d seen his condescending little smirk more
times than I care to remember, but his unguarded smile was just as attractive.
“But still, if I hurt you,
why are you being so nice to me?”
“You’re just one of
my precious people, Sasuke. I kind of understand why you left, but it still
hurts to remember it. So, now what do you want to know?”
“I’m not sure I want
to hear anymore right now.” He sounded tired, and I guess I
shouldn’t have been surprised given everything that Vayne had hit him
with and my revelation that most of it was true… It was a lot to dump on
someone who’d been living a completely different life for an entire year-
especially a life that was so much happier than the one he’d lost…
For the first time, I felt
horribly guilty for finding him and it must’ve shown on my face because Sasuke
smirked. “So, didn’t he say you’re supposed to be wondering
what I’ve been doing in a place like Club Inferno?”
“Well, it looked like you
were just having fun to me,” I shrugged; then I realized what I’d
said, I sighed... ‘Okay, Kyuubi,
say it. I’ve officially been Ero-Sennin’s
student for too long, haven’t I?’
“Relax Kit; the village may shudder at the idea, but I’m
with you on this one. Who knew there was such a playful exhibitionist inside of
the Last Uchiha...”
‘Why do I get the feeling you did?’ I heard the demon
chuckle in my mind so rather than wait for his response, I growled.
‘Still, Sasuke willingly in the same sentence with the word fun- or
playful though? I mean, come on, this was the kid who was so obsessed with
getting stronger that when we were 13, he abandoned the village and our team to
spend three years with that slimy son of a bitch Orochimaru…’
“And you’ve been moping about it ever since, Kit, but it
looks like that situation turned out
pretty well, all things considered, doesn’t it?”
I smiled; secretly I felt just a
little bit grateful for the support from the demon… but Sasuke’s
expression was dubious. “So you’re not going to freak out that
I’m a… what did he call it? Oh yeah, a pole whore?”
“Come on, all you did was
dance! I never expected to find you in a place like that, but I really liked
it. It was nice to see you actually having fun for a change.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, when we were kids, you
were shy so I never got to know you when we were really little. But after your
family was killed; you turned really cold and distant. Everybody in town seemed
to kind of admire that strength about you- they talked about you like you were
some kind of a noble, honorable prince though- after all, you are Uchiha Sasuke. I don’t know
how else to explain it, but on the outside you really looked like a big,
perfect jerk most of the time. You preferred to work and even train alone, but
you never did anything to get into trouble or embarrass your family name-
seriously; even your table manners
were perfect. Well, unless you and I were trying to see which one of us could eat the fastest-”
He snorted at that, but I ignored
him and continued. “You were distant because you were afraid of being
hurt again, but no one else saw the anger building inside you until Orochimaru
put his cursed seal on you. Anyway, I saw the real you because everything
was a competition between us. We were both orphans, you know; I never knew my
family at all, but yours was stolen from you back when you were seven, and you
dedicated your whole life to getting stronger because you needed to kill their
murderer. Orochimaru and Kabuto were both pretty powerful- I’ve fought
both of them, but I knew they couldn’t kill you. You had to be alive
because I always knew I’d find you again someday.”
“It sounds to me like the
girls weren’t the only ones with a crush on me, Naruto.” Sasuke purred. He looked devilishly mischievous.
Tall, dark and too sinfully handsome, I was getting an embarrassing hard on
just from looking at the cocky Teme; he didn’t look down, but I got the
feeling he knew anyway.
He chuckled. “There’s
still something about you that I don’t quite get though- were you and I
lovers?”
‘What?’ I heard the question, but I couldn’t
quite believe my ears.
‘I see he’s still refreshingly direct, for a
human…’ I heard in my head from Kyuubi. As much as I wanted to
shush the damn fox I couldn’t ignore Sasuke’s question.
“N-No…” I shook
my head emphatically.
He leaned toward me slowly and
that wicked smirk widened. “That’s disappointing.”
“It is?” I stared at
him, and realized only after I said it, that I sounded completely lost because
I wanted him to lean in and kiss me…
He nodded, “because I was
hoping we could pick up where we left off if we were...”
“Now?”
I wondered. ‘It’s hard to
breathe, much less think straight when I look into those eyes…’
“I want you,” he nodded.
“I think it’s the whiskers, I want to pet you, Naruto.”
“Well, two more points for the Uchiha…”
I growled,
the demon’s comment shook me out of my confused daze. “This
isn’t the time or the place for a tryst, you know!”
Sasuke laughed, and I blushed, I
hadn’t realized I’d said anything out loud. “That’s
interesting; I’m not used to being turned down.”
“I believe him,” Kyuubi said dryly. “He almost had you, Kit. I should’ve known all along
he’d be the one seducing you.”
Okay, now I really wanted to smack the damn fox, but I still couldn’t
shake the feeling that the Bijuu would end up being right. “Can’t
you be serious right now? God I never thought I’d say that to you…
Look- I’m not… exactly refusing- it’s just that there’s
still a lot that you don’t know, Sasuke.”
“I am serious. I saw those
looks you were giving me while I was on stage all night; I know that you want me. You know, you’re especially cute when
you’re jealous, Dobe.”
‘Dobe?’ I
didn’t especially like the revelation that he’d been making me
jealous on purpose all night, but I
still just stared at him for a moment, startled. “Dobe?”
He frowned. “Sorry, I
don’t know what made me say that…”
“Actually I’m happy
because that was always your nickname for me.” I almost hugged him just
for saying it, but I smirked instead. “My nickname for you was
Teme.”
“I called you a blockhead
and you called me a bastard? Doesn’t seem like a fair trade…”
I laughed again. “Oh but it
fits though doesn’t it? After all, you just admitted you liked making me jealous.”
“I guess I can’t
argue with that. So what are you going to do about it, Dobe?”
“What can I do about it? I
mean, it’s over, right?” His expression was suddenly one of guarded
disbelief, so I changed the subject before I could embarrass myself again.
“So you really stayed because you like it here?”
“Well, yeah, but what else
could I do? I mean, I don’t remember ever being good at anything besides
fighting but dancing was actually really fun and easy when I trained with Blaze
so staying seemed natural at the time. Being up there is still a rush, but
lately it isn’t enough anymore. I’ve been feeling restless again
for weeks, and I know it’s because I can’t stop wondering about
this other life I used to have… Did I- ever have any hobbies or anything-
I mean besides fighting?”
“No. When we were younger
all you ever wanted to do was train, get stronger and test yourself by
fighting.”
“That’s it?”
“Yeah.”
For a minute he looked sad, and I suppose I did too.
“So, wait a minute. That
guy, Vayne- he said something about someone named Itachi- if everyone knows that
he killed my family, how did he get away with it?”
“Sasuke- I’m not sure
this is the right time to tell you more about him…”
“Why?”
“Because Uchiha Itachi is
your older brother, and he’s definitely one of the other most dangerous
people in our world.”
“Wait, you said ‘in
our world again’- what do you mean?”
“We’re ninjas,
Sasuke. We exist in the shadows and because we’re from Konoha, we fight
to protect the Fire Country without upsetting the daily lives of most of its
citizens.”
His expression said he
didn’t believe me. “I’ve always heard that ninjas are
supposed to be cunning and dangerous though. You seem pretty straight forward
to me, so how did you ever make it as
a ninja?”
I grinned wickedly.
“Usually ninjas work in teams. In our team you were the smart one,
I’m the dangerous one.”
He smirked. “Really?
You look like the cute, innocent one to me.”
I was about to yell at him when I
realized we were leaning into each other again.
Being this close to Sasuke-teme for this long without touching him was seriously
killing me. I’m still hard from when he almost kissed me earlier. I
really hate being underestimated, and knowing that he was making me jealous on
purpose only makes me more determined to show him that he’s making a
mistake by taking me lightly.
I grabbed his leather vest and
yanked him closer to me. I covered his lips with mine, they were smooth and
warm and I nipped his bottom lip gently before I started sucking on it. He
chuckled softly, purring like a well fed cat as he parted his lips for me. I
pushed into his mouth roughly, but he didn’t even try to turn the tables
on me. He only leaned into me more and sucked on my tongue teasingly.
“That’s kinky; he wants you to take charge so let’s
not disappoint him, eh.”
‘I hadn’t planned on it.’ I growled and pulled
Sasuke into my lap and kissed him again. He’d admitted that he wants me,
but I had no idea he was willing to bottom of course, that only made me want
him more.
“Easy Kit, he’s just testing you.”
‘What do you mean testing me?’ I snapped. Trying to
kiss and talk to my inner demon at the same time wasn’t particularly
easy- even when the man I’m kissing is the one person I know I
can’t live another day without.
“I suppose as an exotic dancer he’s probably just bored with
people who expect him to initiate everything all the time. So he probably wants
to know if we are as good as you look.”
I hated to admit it, but that
made a surprising amount of sense to me, so I decided to show Sasuke that I can
be just as sexy as he was up on that stage. Luckily, I have an advantage- since
out here; I can kiss him and touch him the way I wanted to earlier. Sasuke
stayed right where I’d put him, and it wasn’t easy to hold still
while I was kissing him, but I did my best to slow down.
I love the taste of him- it
reminds me of the little creamy butter mints on the bar’s counter back at
the club. I wonder if he’ll ever remember that he didn’t like
sweets when he was younger, but I’m not going to tease him about it.
There’s something sinfully delicious about the idea of a candied Sasuke
that I really find incredibly arousing.
I still wasn’t quite sure
what to make of his uke-like behavior, but I liked
it. I’m also drawn to his normally dominant tendencies. I suppose that
really just means I’m hot for him no matter which one of us ends up on
top. I guess that also means it’s no accident that we’ve always
been so close; which just makes it embarrassing for me that I had to watch him
strip down on a stage- more than once before it finally started to sink
in…
Our kisses were hot before, but
Sasuke started to respond even better when I slowed down. I smirked, as I felt
him shift his hips forward, grinding his lithe body against mine. I moaned, but
I kept my tongue in his mouth. Now we were kissing softly, our tongues were
stroking and rubbing gently against each other. I pulled back slowly, a little
at a time, but rather than break the kiss completely, I nibbled delicately at
his lower lip between our soft, sensual kisses, I’m hoping to tempt a response
from him and he knows it.
It seemed like it was far away,
but I felt a sudden flicker of chakra, and before I realized that chakra
wasn’t Sasuke’s something hit me in the back of the head. As I
slumped into his arms, I heard him arguing with someone female, and I
recognized the name Kari just as I blacked out…
**
I shuddered violently at the
horrible rumbling noise that seemed to surround me completely. Even as I
struggle to open my eyes but all I see is the grass I’m laying in.
I’m still shaking because of the cold rain.
‘My head hurts…’ Brilliant observation, but it
was the best I could come up with. I’m rapidly getting drenched with all
this steady rain.
“I love you like you are my
own son, so I don’t even want to think about what they’ll do to you
if you go back after all this time.” The voice sounded far away at first,
but as I woke up a bit more, it was clearly the woman who knocked me out.
“For the tenth time, he
wasn’t hurting me, Kari-” Definitely Sasuke. We’re still out
in the woods and I squirmed around until I managed to sit up. I can’t see
them, but they are nearby.
The woman snorted. “I know
that now, but I’m still afraid that you aren’t safe here anymore.
If he found you, then someone else could too.”
My head hurts, but my arms hurt
too- that’s because my hands are tied behind my back and I can’t
move them. There is chakra in the cords binding my hands so I can’t get
them off.
The woman must be one of the
ninja spies who live outside the Hidden Villages. But still, something about
her words set me desperately on edge, but for a moment, I wasn’t quite
sure why…
“I feel like can trust
him.”
“That isn’t the
point. He’s from the Hidden Village of Konoha- sooner or later
he’ll try to take you back there.”
“You knew all along who he is, didn’t you?” I was so angry that I
couldn’t stop myself from speaking.
“You’re awake?”
The woman who peered around the tree at me looked like an older version of
Shani. She was beautiful with short blonde hair that was tipped in violet
streaks that matched her vivid amethyst eyes but she wore a simple black
bodysuit and a flack vest. She also wore a headband with the symbol of Konoha
upon it.
“Fuck that!” I
snapped, I could feel the Kyuubi’s chakra giving
me strength, threatening to bust loose. I knew it would be dangerous to us the
demon’s power, but my anger was justified. She was a Leaf and I was being
betrayed... “You knew all along and you never told anyone? You never even
told Sasuke the truth? You’re a Leaf, but you hid him from us too?”
She looked down and hugged her
arms. “How else could I protect him? I couldn’t let any of the
villages take him away to be executed after he save my life and my
daughter.”
“What?” Surprise gave
me back control over my anger.
“On our way home to the bar
with a load of supplies, the horse spooked and Shani fell out of the wagon
unconscious. I realized too late that we were being attacked by bandits... If
Bagheera- I mean if Sasuke hadn’t…” The woman was crying as
she told the story and I found myself believing her. “He was badly hurt
and already suffering from numerous infected wounds, but he spent the last of
his chakra protecting us! I had to do something, so I brought him home with us.
It was two days before the word got out that Uchiha Sasuke had left Sound
village after he killed Orochimaru… I guess by then I’d gotten used
to my story that he was just a boy that’d been a captive of the bandits
who attacked us and that we all escaped together. When he awoke with no memory
of who he was or what’d happened, I told him the same story I’d
told everyone in the area who asked… Even Shani doesn’t remember
what really happened that night.”
“But why didn’t you
tell him the truth later?” I growled.
“It seemed too late-
I’m sorry I deceived you, Sasuke. I know that you left the Leaf village,
but I believe in my heart that you’re a good person or you wouldn’t
have tried so hard to save the lives of two strangers. Even here with us
you’ve always been stubborn and independent, but you usually have good
reasons. Every ninja village needs order to thrive though and that’s why
they need to make an example of you. I didn’t want that to happen. I care
for you too much.”
“You’re still talking
about the Leaf village, right?” I asked. “Come on, Konoha’s
not that bad! Granny Tsunade’s
the Hokage and okay she seems like a hard ass at times, but she’s really
an amazing person.”
“Sasuke’s been
condemned just like his brother- he’s wanted dead or alive and you know
as well as I do that the village would prefer dead. I am glad to see that he
was found by someone who cares about him too, but I’m not sure that you
can protect him if he goes back.”
“Why would I need to be
protected anyway?” Sasuke asked testily.
“You are one of the best taijutsu fighters I’ve ever had the pleasure of
watching, but even that is only a shadow of your real power Sasuke. I’ve
also seen you use exceptionally powerful genjutsu and ninjutsu
as well. Even your Sharingan is still sleeping- if I began retraining you to
use your energy right now, it will be almost a year before you have your powers
back completely.” Kari told him gently. “Your body and your Ki are
both incredibly strong but you need to teach your body to learn to focus that
energy into chakra again so that you can defend yourself.”
“Sasuke and I grew up
together, let him train with me,” I said.
Kari scowled thoughtfully at me,
clearly she didn’t quite trust me yet, but she didn’t out right
refuse either, which was a good sign- I hoped, since she drew a kunai and came
toward me.
She staggered suddenly and
through the rain I saw two small shapes flashed out of the shadows with
impossible speed- and embedded themselves deep in her chest- kunai.
I was just as stunned as Sasuke
until I looked around and caught a glimpse of an ANBU mask. There were
shurikens and a few kunai sticking out of her back too as she fell down.
Sasuke clearly wanted to fight; I
could feel him channeling anger through the cursed seal again and turning it
into raw power.
“Don’t do it! Stay
right here with Kari, it’s your turn to take care of her now,” I
said, grabbing his arm.
“Naruto? We’re here for
you!” It was Shikamaru under the raccoon mask, but I regretted not
knowing the other two on our misson better. I also
knew somehow that even Shikamaru didn’t recognize Sasuke, though it was
hard to see much of anything in all the rain.
“No!” I shouted. This
was getting out of hand rapidly, but apparently the rest of my team still
believed that I was in danger.
For several seconds, time seemed
to slow down almost to a stop.
“Mother!”
A second black garbed kunoichi leapt from the tree limb above me and slit the
throat of one of my teammates with kunai. She crouched low between her mother
and the team, and I knew she must be Shani’s big sister. She was
gorgeous, with long blonde hair and amethyst eyes but she was standing in my
shadow and I looked away feeling helpless when she realized she couldn’t
move and was hit in the back with a sword.
With Sasuke helping her, Kari was
very pale but she struggled to her feet and looked brokenly at her other daughter.
She sensed movement behind her though and pushed Sasuke away; taking a sword
thrust that was clearly meant for him. “Run,” she whispered through
the pain.
Sasuke saw her fall, impaled on
the sword and he started backing away looking at the two bodies before him. Two
of the masked shinobi tried to grab him, but Sasuke twisted loose effortlessly,
throwing them both to the ground. The power of the seal made him dangerously
strong even without his chakra, but he was still shaking his head slowly- I
wanted to reach for him but my hands were still tied, and I couldn’t
believe it when he finally turned and ran away deeper into the trees. I could
see he had no idea where he was going and he didn’t care. There was
something strange about his expression- something distant yet terrified.
“Watching them die probably caused the memory of his parents being
murdered to resurface, find him now,
Kit.”
‘I will,’ I promised quietly.
Someone slashed the ropes binding
my hands and I stood up. I was so angry and worried that I didn’t even
know what to say to my team. I know they thought they were rescuing me, but I
didn’t believe that Kari would’ve hurt me. “Bastards. Get
over to Club Inferno in the village and check on a little girl there named
Shani. Take care of her until I get back, because she’s an orphan now
too. Just leave Sasuke to me.”
“S-Sasuke? Seriously?” Shikamaru took his mask off and sighed.
“Damn, I just knew that guy looked kinda
familiar but... What the hell did she have you tied up for? The woman is like
the Fire Country’s best border spy; she was a friend of Asuma for
years.”
“I don’t have time
for this, Shika.”
He nodded reluctantly.
“Troublesome, but you better fill me in on all this when you get back
then.”
It wasn’t like the genius
to listen to one of my ideas, but I knew he really trusted me because he turned
to the village with a sigh.
“Believe it!” I
called over my shoulder with a wide grin.
