Some Things Are Felt | By : Damp Category: Naruto AU/AR > Yaoi - Male/Male Views: 1446 -:- Recommendations : 0 -:- Currently Reading : 1 |

The cars, trucks and semi's were coming and going faster than he could keep count. They came in various sizes and colors, but with good reason. Not only would everything be easier to keep track of the; it would also make the transition from one base to another easier and more efficient.
Also, Naruto demanded that the trucks, at least, be in colors he could stomach.
Kyu had a strong penchant for black. Naruto had an even stronger emotion (aversion) for the color.
When the white trucks came in, all of the medical and chemical equipment was piled in as carefully and quickly as the loaders could work. Boxes containing beakers, glasses, computers, needles, and the rest of the easy-to-break objects were placed on the floor of the semi's and tied as tightly to the walls of the truck as possible. Other things, such as the chemicals, were tightly packaged in tiny styrofoam casings that were then put into suitcases and would go into the cars that were arriving and leaving by the boat-load.
After they had gotten rid of all the more expensive and prized products, the brown and red moving trucks would come in to take the rest of the properties that were left inside of the building. They just needed to move a few more things before they could start to set up the detonators around the house.
The only good thing about living this far out into the forests of Konoha was the lack of authorities and curious civilians. No one asked questions this far out and void of human life.
Questions that might concern: the cars and trucks moving enough equipment to put a clinic to shame, the workers and loaders moving like clock-work at the drop of a hat, and the bodyguards that were standing at attention- holding guns at the ready and more than happy to pull the trigger if given the signal.
Yeah; no one would notice or care for these types of things this far out into the forests.
Kyu was taking care of things outside of the mansion, while he was left to over-see things inside. With both of them at the helm of this entire operation, no shred of DNA, data, money, or any evidence would be left behind. The only thing the Blues would find, if they even got there in time, would be a pile of smolders, and maybe a skull or two, depending on Kyu's mood.
Kyu was a very violent person, even more-so when someone fucked up and was the reason behind this whole move. They wouldn't have to go through all this trouble, if only someone hadn't gotten drunk and accidentally tipped an undercover cop about their hidden chemical labs. There was a reason drunks were never hired to work with them- they could never keep their mouths shut long enough to receive their first paycheck.
His thoughts were dragged elsewhere when a woman, almost twice his age, came up to him with some files in her hand. She had beautiful curly red hair and her eyes held a nice sparkle to them; when engaged in conversation, she wasn't shy to express her mind. In short, she didn't, really, belong in this kind of environment.
But then again, money had a way of talking people into doing some of the stupidest things Naruto had ever seen or heard of.
She had just been hired and was still adjusting to the way things worked around here. It was Naruto's job to install loyalty amongst the workers here, so when she stood next to him, he turned all of his attention towards her. The smile he pasted on his face, one of complete and genuine care for her and what might be troubling her.
"What's up, Kurenai?"
"Hello, Naruto," she returned his smile, and brandished the files she held in her arms, "I was wondering what you wanted to do about some of these documents that are in a few of the file cabinets."
He took them from her hands, looking them over and making sure that they didn't hold any important information. As he did so, he let her continue her train of thought, "I'm pretty sure we moved all of the more important documents, but, you know, I just want to make sure we got everything."
Noting that the files were just compiled lists of groceries that they had needed to get for the mansion, at some point or another, he gave the files back to her. She took them and waited patiently for his instructions.
He sighed and rubbed the back of his head, aiming another smile her way, he said, "Don't worry 'bout those. Just throw them into the moving trucks." She nodded her head and went back to the rest of the rushing workers.
Shortly after that he walked slowly and carefully throughout the rest of the mansion, answering questions and giving out orders to the workers. His eyes and mind taking everything into account; scanning the rooms, sweeping the hallways, and checking the corners of the mansion; he would not leave any premise till he was satisfied with the result.
Every now and then, he could feel his body begin to give way to his fatigue and dull aches that continued to haunt him. But he spared no time for these thoughts or concerns. His escape incident had been almost two weeks ago; these pains were old news and should not be affecting his work ethic at all at this point.
He didn't care- no matter how tired and pained his body felt, he would not allow the workers to see just how badly battered Kyu had left him. He had a job to do, and he was going to see it through; his body be damned. There was a reason meds were created, and they would be more than enough to see him through this task.
Nothing, not even eyelash hairs, would be left behind, and he would make sure of it.
Not even sparing him a glance Kyu began to put on his clothes, slowly and smoothly, turning his back to him. Naruto was still on the floor, his body naked and decorated with newly forming bruises. Every now and then, he would shake and tremble, the aches and pains in his body coming back ten-fold. The cold wasn't helping much either.
His lips were ripped raw and swollen from all of the kiss's Kyu had bestowed upon him. And he couldn't stop spitting out blood unless he wanted to drink it. Every now and then, his eyelids would begin to droop, but then they would immediately snap open- he didn't want to give Kyu an opening he couldn't resist.
He was so warm, but his body wouldn't stop shivering, maybe it's a fever? The oncoming head-ache, though, pretty much prevented any and all attempts at thinking straight. Doing anything physical at this point was next to impossible.
He couldn't lift his head off of the ground, so he just settled for staring blankly atKyu's feet. He had tried to wrap his arms around himself, but that only served to let him know where else he was hurt. So he just settled for leaving them at his sides.
For now, the only position that caused the least amount of pain, was laying down on his side. He had tried the fetal position, but he couldn't even close his legs without causing his spine to scream. He didn't want to try his luck and bend his body into a position that would only cause him greater pains.
Kyu was done getting dressed and was walking around their room slowly. He made it across the space, towards their dresser and began to pull out articles of clothing, discarding some of them to the ground, before he made his way back to Naruto.
Kyu knelt beside Naruto, showing him very comfortable and soft looking fox paw-printed pajama pants, "Here." He whispered quietly.
For a very brief moment their eyes met and, in that moment, Naruto lost it all again.
He started breathing faster, and the shakes became more violent and frequent. He felt something wet and warm start to drip from his eyes, and he could hear himself start to sob. With his sub-consciousness haunting him, his head-ache exploded and his body decided to let it be known just how truly fucked he was.
His chest felt crushed, his head was exploding, his arms were tired, he couldn't feel his hands or feet, he was cold and confused and warm and angry and sad, the blood and its scent were making him nauseous, his ass and spine hurt, it ached to breathe in and it ached to breathe out, why was he still alive?
He could hear someone calling out his name, but he was in so much pain, physically and mentally, he didn't care to respond. He just knew that meds would soon be administered if he kept this up, and goddamnit, he deserved to get meds for this kind of pain.
He didn't notice the broken and disturbed look that came across Kyu's face.
"Naruto."
"Naruto?"
Shaken from his thoughts, he turned quickly to face the person that had called out to him, "Mm?" He rubbed his hands against his pants and fully removed himself from the room he was about to enter, pasting another smile on his face, "What's up?"
It was Kurenai- this time though, she was holding a cup of water and some pills in her hand. She gave him a smile and handed him both objects, "The doctors said you looked a bit tired and suggested you take these before we head off to the next destination."
He gulped the pills dry, but took the time to appreciate the cool and refreshing taste of water. When he finished, he handed her back the glass and thanked her. She didn't immediately turn away from him; instead, she took a step closer to him.
He stood stock-still as she gently placed a hand to his check, effectively checking his temperature. She threw a smile at him, "They also wanted me to check on you. They don't think it wise for you to be moving around, much less over-seeing this whole thing."
To which he shot back, "Yeah, well, maybe someone should have kept an eye out for the drunk who tipped the cops."
She chuckled at this and removed her hand from his cheek, letting it come back to her side. When she continued to just stand there, he raised a brow and inquired, "Was there something else, you wished to discuss?"
She hesitated for a moment, her eyes rolling over to the left before they came back to him, "I was wondering if- I mean, if we're allowed to know -the location of where we're heading?" She shifted her weight from one foot to the other, her heels making a slight clicking sound against the hardwood floors.
Naruto couldn't help but frown at her inquiry. On one hand, he wanted to tell her, but on the other hand, no one, outside of Kyu, himself and the drivers, were allowed to know the whereabouts of their next location.
"I'm sorry, Kurenai, but I'm not allowed to hand out that kind of information."
Her lips formed a frown of their own as she replied to him, "I know, but you know, I already told my family what I do, and they understand. I mean, if we're heading off somewhere far away, I'm worried I won't be able to see them as much as I want to."
His brows shot up and his body tensed as he calmly asked, "You told your family what you do for a living?"
Her laugh came out as a snort and she squeaked out, "No! Oh, god, my mother would have a heart attack!" She covered her mouth, trying (and failing) to keep her laughs as quiet as possible.
"I'm a pharmacist. Remember?" She winked at him.
Her laughs ceased and she continued on, "But, you know, my excuse, up until now, has been my workload and work schedule. And with the holiday's coming up, I'm thankful for all this money, but what's the use of it if I can't spend some of it on my family and friends? You know what I mean?"
Although he was second-in command, he was just as necessary as Kyu. If not for him, Kyu wouldn't have gotten nearly as far, or as fast, as he was. He was single-handedly responsible for the huge sums of 'donations' that were given to Kyu and was often described as 'godlike' for a reason. Where Kyu was the muscle and brains, Naruto was the persuasion and charisma.
He reached out for her hand, a gentle but firm smile placed on his face. He could sympathize with her; being new to everything and then being forced to head off to the unknown, not being able to tell your family or friends why you can't see them.
All of these things, he could very well sympathize with her. And he was able to portray that perfectly on his face as he spoke to her, "Don't worry. As soon as we have all these things packed, we'll be able to head off to the next building. Once there, we can all figure things out better."
He saw the hesitant look on her face, so he further pushed his point, "And if things still aren't working out, we'll look into giving you some paid holidays, or something. Huh? How 'bout it?"
He loved mentioning money, it always helped his cause.
Her face brightened up at the thought of more money. "Yeah, sure. Once we get there, I'm sure I'll be able to think up something to tell my folks."
She nodded her head once, and then walked away from him. When he could no longer hear the clicking and clacking of her heels, he resumed his walk around the mansion and continued with his sweeps. He was successfully ignoring the pains in his body still haunting him.
Almost everyone had left, the only ones that remained were Kyu, a few bodyguards, the guy in charge of pushing the button to make the mansion go 'boom,' and himself. They were all kind of scattered around the perimeter, checking and making sure the area was clear and devoid of any possible 'mishaps' that could bring attention to this whole operation.
Everything had been calculated and taken into account for. Consideration of the weather, to the time of day, to the detonator placement- nothing was being left to chance. If a single leaf, branch, or bush, that wasn't planned or calculated for, caught fire and spread out to the forest- they would be fucked.
Royally, truly and totally fucked.
Sure, the mansion was going to get blown to pieces, no matter what the outcome. Any and all important evidence had already been collected so no worries there. But they didn't want to create a situation where the forest rangers would take notice of all the smoke and be forced to call the cops sooner than he and Kyu would like them to be called.
If the fire got out of control, it would give the cops more than enough reason to unnecessarily investigate around the areas where they most frequently sold their products. The Blues had been tipped off, so it would only make sense that they look into the more shady areas of Konoha. That would slow down sales, which would have major drawbacks for Kyu, which in turn would cause problems for himself.
Walking across the front yard and towards the mansion, he decided to take a small break. He seated himself down on soft green grass, shutting his eyes to help block out the bright sun. Just as he was about to take a small nap, right there, out in the sun and cool breeze, his walkie-talkie crackled to life.
A gruff and irritated voice snapped out, "You can sleep in the car. Get back out here and search the rest of the area."
Something inside him told him to just throw the walkie-talkie up in the air and let it fall to the ground… But he took a moment to count to ten and continued to just lay down on the ground. When no other orders were given, he gave a huff, and got up- his bodyguard (Kyu's eyes and ears) following close behind him.
"Might as well take one last look around the place." He grumbled out before shoving his hands deep into his pockets.
Just as he was about to head off into the foliage, not bothering to look down and watch where he was going, he tripped over his feet. He braced himself for the impact, but a hand gripped his shoulder, preventing his face from kissing the ground.
The hand tightened its grip, pressing against the bruise he had there, and pulled him back to his feet. He grimaced and turned away from his bodyguard, but did nothing else. He just let his feet take him to where he needed to be.
"If you're that tired, you should take things more slowly."
Not even bothering to turn around to face his bodyguard, he spat out, "If Kyu thinks I'm fit to walk and work, then I'm fit to walk and work."
He continued his trek to the thicker part of the woods surrounding the mansion. Only barely ignoring the soft footsteps that followed him. No doubt it was his bodyguard keeping close watch over him; a fact that pissed Naruto off to no end.
It's not like he had anywhere he could go, but I guess he just doesn't want to face Kyu's wrath if I did manage to escape. He couldn't really blame the guy for keeping such a close eye on him. When faced with someone like Kyu- it was always best to just do as he ordered.
He slowed down his pace, taking his time to appreciate the quiet and calm that could only come from nature. He wouldn't be able to enjoy this kind of silence, not where he was going. If Kyu did keep his word, then Naruto could look forward to spending more and more time being homeschooled and being chained to all four walls of their next destination.
Kyu had made sure that their next living arrangements had the bare minimum of fire escapes, back doors, and balconies. Watch dogs would be placed around him at all times, hours outside of the base would be reserved for meetings that they absolutely could not miss, and with luck, he would only get to enjoy the outside world when the moon was out and he was chained to Kyu.
Joy.
As his thoughts took a darker route, he couldn't help but wrap his arms around himself, his body beginning to feel a bit too chilled. He stopped completely and took one last look in the surrounding area- noting that the leaves were crisp and the branches dry, ensuring a fire to this area- before heading back to the car.
Naruto reached to grab for his walkie, wanting to let Kyu know that everything was set and ready to go. However the need to do such a thing was nullified when his bodyguard beat him to the punch. He put away his walkie and just continued his walk towards the vehicle.
He could hear them over his shoulder, "Everything's set, sir."
A crackle, and then a voice that could only belong to Kyu responded, "Alright, we're done over here. Just get to the car." The last instruction was directed atNaruto.
Needing no further provocation, he quickened his pace. He just wanted to get the whole thing over and done with at this point. All they had to do was press a stupid button and the building would be gone forever. Good riddance.
It was a shame that they had to destroy this part of the forest, but it had to be done. Nothing could be left behind; it's not like they could just move the entire mansion. Too many would ask questions and no, they would not be answered. No, this was the only option and it was the best one.
Thanks to his bodyguard keeping perfect pace with him and having a hand or two in keeping him from falling flat on his face, he managed to get to the car in one piece. Not sparing more than a glance at the people in the other cars, he sought out Kyu.
He gave a huff when Kyu wasn't immediately spotted, where is he? Not finding him amongst the rest of the crowd, he started walking towards the back of the mansion (where Kyu had originally set out to search the area). Just as he was about to walk past a grey Bentley, a hand reached out and took hold of his hand.
He didn't turn to see who it was; who else would dare touch what belonged toKyu? A small smile began to make its way towards his face. Kyu only ever reached for his hand when he wanted to be play the nice card.
No doubt, Kyu wanted to chill and rest a bit before they got moving. This was more like the Kyu he knew and loved- before the gangs and drugs and money began to have a bigger and stronger influence.
Meaning they could cuddle for a little bit.
"Hey there, sexy." A smooth baritone voice called out.
This time, a full-fledged smile blossomed on his face, and he chuckled out, "S'up, handsome?" He turned around to face Kyu. Not surprised at all when what he saw took his breath away.
Leaning up against the grey Bentley and baring his sharp teeth in a smile that could scare a dentist, stood the 5'9" young man that wasn't afraid to make his presence and opinion known to the rest of the world. No one dared shut him up- and if they dared, it was only because Naruto was getting sick of watching his ego get bigger.
His eyes were crinkling around the edges and giving off a mirth that was rarely seen, he could tell Kyu was enjoying himself immensely. Telling people what to do and actually being able to see the fruits of his labor was something Kyu lived and breathed for.
Feeling safe, for reasons that still eluded him, Naruto took a step closer towards Kyu, letting their chests gently bump against each other. He let his hands rest on Kyu's shoulders, whilst Kyu put a hand to the small of his back. He placed his head to Kyu's heart, listening to its soft and gentle thrum.
Instantly, without fully realizing it, he collapsed against Kyu.
"Oph!"
"M'tird." He managed to muffle out, not caring for Kyu's grumbles and instead let him worry about his weight.
Kyu struggled for a bit before managing to get a firm grip on his body and preventing him from falling straight to the ground. He knew Kyu could handle his weight, so he didn't fear the ground. All he knew was the warmth that was resonating from Kyu's body, the arms that were holding him steady, and the gentle caresses to his cheek.
He sighed, wanting this to last forever, but knew- from the kiss to his cheek- that it was time to get going. Feeling Kyu's grip slacken, he took that as his cue to get off. Pulling away from Kyu's chest, he gave him a withering look.
"Sorry, but we got to get going soon…"
"Yeah, I know." And he left it at that.
Kyu moved away from the door to the Bentley and opened it for him, their driver and bodyguard already seated in the front. Getting comfortable in the backseat, he watched as Kyu turned around to face the rest of their men and gave a whistle, signaling to the others that it was time to go.
Like clock-work, the others started moving. He could hear the sounds of quieting conversations, feet walking on gravel, engines being revved up, doors opening and closing, and cars starting to pull away.
Kyu got inside the car with him, rolling down the window as he moved to sit next to Naruto. When he was comfortable, he pulled out a small cigarette and lit it, taking a deep breath as soon as it began to smoke.
Naruto had his back to the other door so he could better face Kyu and attack him with questions. Kyu rarely smoked, only doing so when he wanted to distract himself. He wasn't stupid; he knew Kyu had something up his sleeve. If he waited patiently, he knew Kyu would give in and tell him what's what.
He never really could stand being in the dark about anything.
All he could do until he saw an opening in Kyu's defense, smoking to avoid his questions, was to make faces at him. Just as he was crossing his eyes, Kyu reached into his back pocket and pulled out a walkie-talkie.
"How much farther?" he asked through it.
It crackled a bit before a voice responded, "Just drive for another 10 minutes at top speed, we just want to be far enough away so that the explosion doesn't blow our ears out or anything."
Kyu 'hummed' into the walkie, and set it down on his lap, his cigarette still in-between his lips. His interest peaked; Naruto began to poke his side, realizing that he wanted answers now instead of later. When all he received was a glare for his efforts, he puffed out his cheeks and glared right back at him.
Kyu couldn't resist that look (it always worked) and dropped his cigarette out the window. Moving closer to him, he reached over to start attacking Naruto's cheeks. Humoring Naruto by gently pulling and pinching the muscles, Kyu continued to do so, until a hand reached over and began to scratch the back of his right ear.
Before Naruto could move in for the kill, the walkie buzzed to life again, "Sir?"
Kyu immediately straightened up and grabbed the forgotten walkie from the floor (which had fallen at some point in their playfulness), "Yes?"
"We're far enough away- you can pull the switch now."
A feral grin appeared on Kyu's face, a similar one beginning to grow on Naruto's face, as Kyu's personal bodyguard handed him a switchboard. It was a very big thing, with flip switches and different colored buttons decorating its surface.
It had been a while since either of them had seen this very beloved device. It was a bit dented, and was rarely ever used due to the fear of breaking such expensive equipment; a nasty habit that Kyu couldn't kick. Kyu's hand roved over the entire surface, before finally remembering which button he was supposed to push.
A small, but fanged and savage smile appeared on his face.
They both turned around in their seats to be able to get a view of the incoming explosion, their bodyguard and chauffer both glancing behind them, holding their breaths as Kyu pushed the grey button.
They were already so far away from the mansion and with such thick foliage surrounding the area, he was afraid they wouldn't be able to see the flames. At first, nothing happened, but then, a small orange flaming (and flailing) body blew out and into the pre-evening sky.
And just like that, a kaleidoscope of blues and reds and orange colors burst through the trees, all coming from the direction of a place that was once their mansion. Sparks would ignite and die as they hit the sky in a myriad of violent dances. Smoke was billowing out in crashing waves, but not enough to drown out the amazing picture of a collapsing mansion.
The mansion that had held him prisoner, a place that had forced him to face a forbidden truth, a building that reminded him of a cage and endless days, one of the few places on earth that made him feel nothing and everything at once…
It was finally gone.
His breath stolen, he did nothing as Kyu leaned in to his ear and whispered, "Beautiful."
