Chapter Nine

Even as the sleep melted around him, Sasuke knew there was
someone directly above him. He reacted, but there was nothing close to his
right hand. There was nothing close to his left hand, either, so he did the next
best thing and rolled away from under the shadow, over the edge of the
unfamiliar bed and under it.

After a moment, a roar of laughter replaced the stunned
silence.

Annoyed when he recognized Naruto, Sasuke stayed down for a
moment longer. This was the second time he had made a complete fool of himself,
just because he was not used to waking up with someone so near to him.�

Finally, when Naruto showed no signs of stopping, he
snapped. �Shut up.�

�It�s not...� Naruto started, only
to interrupt himself with another fit of girlish giggles. �Not my fault you can�t wake up like a normal person. I didn�t even
say anything!�

He had a problem with other people waking him up by leaning over
him, not waking up in itself, but Sasuke had no plans to try and explain that -
especially not without underwear on him.
�A thought that, fortunately, reminded him how to distract
Naruto.

�You�re feeling better.� He meant it to be a question, but a
simplest of glances gave him the answer already. Naruto looked healthy, flushed
from the laughter - and he was also fully dressed.��

�Yeah.� Naruto answered, with every
trace of joy off his face as if it was rubbed away. �I�m fine. We should get
going now.�

Yes, of course, and he should get dressed.

�Be grateful.� Sasuke said, wanting Naruto out of the room.
�Bring me some breakfast.�

He didn�t really expect it to work, though. Naruto had a
thing about commanding tones; it made him stubborn. He scowled and opened his
mouth, and Sasuke was about to suppress rolling his eyes, but Naruto then
turned on his heel in a sudden swift movement and marched out of the room.

Sasuke dressed quickly, locating his clothes along the way,
not that they were all around the place or anything. He just wasn�t very
careful about where he was letting them land. If was a forgivable lapse, last
night was � unusual. And he had ended up with chakra exhaustion.

�Because he was trying very hard not to make the experience
completely unpleasant for Naruto. Because he was too busy thinking about Naruto
to think about the both of them and the consciences of his consideration. Because he was stupid.

When Naruto came back, empty handed, Sasuke was still
gritting his teeth.

�That cat-hag of yours is a bitch.� He informed Sasuke, not
even bothering to make excuses for not bringing breakfast with him. Sasuke
really was hungry, and the proof that
Naruto was more then willing to walk out of the room so he wouldn�t have to
watch him dress was irritating. He wasn�t doing that back when they were
working together on Kakashi�s insistence � nor did Sasuke ever gave him privacy
for a basic thing like that, or asked for it.

But he asked for it now, and Naruto allowed it. As he was
afraid, things had changed between them because of what happened last night,
and not for the better.

Sasuke double-checked if the order of his equipment was
correct before he grasped on what Naruto said.

�What?� He demanded.

Naruto�s impatient face twisted with annoyance. �What
�what?�? Do you even know what time it is? I don�t have time to waste, we have
to go back.�

Now they had no
time to waste, when Naruto was better and they were almost done. �So you went
to see my contact to collect
information that was promised to me?��
�
Naruto glared stubbornly back. �It�s not like she told me
anything. And that place stinks so
much, my eyes were tearing.�

It didn�t matter if she told him anything, Naruto was not
supposed to go there on his own. Sasuke was not sleeping so long because he had
nothing better to do; the only way to recover from chakra exhaustion was a lot of rest. Naruto wouldn�t be able to
head back anyway until Sasuke was ready to go. He was just impatient.

Sasuke decided the better course of action was to ignore
him, rather than to argue something so obvious. He picked up what he needed and
went to the bathroom. The small room, made by modern standards, was clean at
first glance. Tiles were almost shiny white, but Sasuke was still careful about
how much contact he would have with anything inside that he hadn�t brought with
him.�

The smell of cats was not as bad as Naruto made it sound. It
was actually pleasant in the open. And Granny wasn�t a bitch, she gave precise
instructions; it was Naruto�s own fault, both for going there without Sasuke
and trying to make a strong woman set in her ways to change her mind because he
was in a pointless hurry.

When he came back to the room, Naruto was all set to go. He
must have packed even before Sasuke woke up. The angle of sunbeams coming from
the windows claimed ten at the morning at best, so Sasuke took his time to dry
his hair and carefully collect the rest of his belongings.

�Would you stop dragging yourself all over the place?�
Naruto snapped after barely ten minutes. �We have to hurry!�

Sasuke reminded him. �She said noon. There�s time.�

Naruto huffed, backpack over his shoulder still. �Yes, but
she�ll tell you, I know she will. And if she won�t, I�ll make her, because
someone�s dying back in Konoha and we
have to hurry!�

�And if we piss her off, we�ll go back to Konoha to wait for
a body to show up, because she will refuse to tell us anything. You can�t make
her do anything she doesn�t want to.�

Naruto repeated again, as if he still thought Sasuke would
miss something like that. �Someone�s dying.�

Sasuke threw a look at him over his shoulder. Undignified
and self rightness suited Naruto well, with that almost pout, and so did the
jittery nervousness. He was like a completely different person lately, so this
explosion of badly suppressed need to move was refreshing and so welcome. If he
was like this last night�

Not going
there.�

Already angry - at himself for being so stupid, at Naruto
for going out without him, at the entire fucking world for being so bright that
it made his head hurt, Sasuke lost the grip on his control.

�Someone�s always
dying when you�re involved. You were trying to solve this situation for a year
now and were not even able to gather any information on what�s going on, and I
found a good, useful source in less then a week. At least try not to fuck it up.��
Naruto�s mood was darkening with every word, and Sasuke�s blood was
heating up as his eyes were narrowing. Naruto was angry and hurt, as he was
supposed to be. Sasuke can do better yet, though. �And don�t forget it was me
who made it possible for you to pretend to be of some use, so shut up and let
me do this the way it should be done.�

Nothing more
attractive then Naruto letting his power slip off him unaware, Sasuke
thought, his head spinning a little. The pressure of the Naruto�s chakra made the room feel airless,
stuffy and warm, coming at Sasuke from all around in swirls, like a hurricane
was about to shape out of it. The sparkle he got from the fear produced
adrenalin could be put to a good use, if only Naruto would snap. The mere
possibility of it made Sasuke�s mouth dry. He wanted to fight, because fighting Naruto was a rush and a need he
couldn�t deny more then he could deny the desire that he was obviously storing
up for a while.

Naruto let his backpack slide off his shoulder, keeping his
eyes carefully on Sasuke�s. He was angry, yes, but Sasuke was disappointed to
see, his anger had iced edges.

�The only reason you knew to come here is because it has
something to do with your family � and I bet it�s something that will not help
clear their name.� Yes, possibly � but no one was even trying to clear their
name, and especially not Sasuke. No one who had any blame in Itachi losing his
freedom, health, his entire life �
they will never get such effort from him, ever. �But we�d guessed as much, why
do you think I bothered with you at all?�

That was � hurtful. Sasuke should clear his brain from the
remaining of the last night�s insanity, and set things straight finally.

Carefully keeping his tone leveled, he said clearly: �I
thought you were hoping something like last night would happen.�

Naruto breathed in a large amount of air sharply, which was
confirmation enough. It made all the hurt warm up a
little. But Sasuke knew that with every word he was saying that morning, he was
sinking deeper, much deeper then a sex out of medical emergency could ever drag
him. Naruto was following closely.

It didn�t matter. They have been dancing around it too long
already.

�Don�t flatter yourself.� Naruto finally said, but the
sharpness of his chakra waves dulled in the middle.

Going deeper still, with no thought of trying not to, Sasuke
smirked. �I wouldn�t say that. You talk in your sleep, you always have been.�

Watching Naruto going red from the mixture of embarrassment
and anger was an old ways pleasure. He�d told the complete truth, Naruto was
always talking in his sleep. He was just never talking about anything important
� until yesterday.��

�Do I talk about how much of an asshole you are?� Naruto
said, breathing carefully through his nose. Sasuke thought he was too eager to
find a way to calm down and just how annoying that was.

�All the time.� Also true, or at least it was.

Naruto closed his eyes, and both his hands curled into fists
on his sides. Sasuke could feel the chakra
backwashing to its source, Naruto�s rage subduing - or refocusing. It made him
feel cold and alone. But then Naruto opened his eyes again, looking right into
his again, with unpleasant determination shining through. It was almost enough
to make him shiver.

�I realize that fucking someone who�s not likely to have a
disease must have been a great sacrifice for you.� Naruto said, his voice just
a little strained, but still full of sour sarcasm. Now Sasuke wanted to close
his eyes, to hit his head and curse, because he forgot. This is Naruto,
but Naruto was not what he was before. This Naruto was the Hokage of Konoha. He
will not simply charge into a physical fight. �Will marking this trip as an A
ranked, successful, mission with all
expenses covered be enough to smother the trauma?�

What was he supposed to say? I just want some more physical interaction with you, moron, and why
won�t you fight me? Maybe watching Naruto�s eyes fall out would be worth
the consequences.

But just because Sasuke knew what was wrong, didn�t mean he
would back off. �The only thing to smother the trauma would be some honest
gratitude.�

Naruto blinked a bit, startled or confused, and then he
picked up the backpack from the floor. It would be so nice to hear Naruto
saying thank you, it has been a really long time since anyone said it to him.
And what did he expect anyway, for Sasuke to demand C rank instead? Like that
would help anything.

�Well, okay.� Naruto said finally, and it was equally
annoying to see that some of his mood had twisted into amusement. �Do you want
it in the written form, or should I drop on my knees?�

He flashed a quick grin and got out of the room before
Sasuke could think of anything to say. While gathering the last of his gear,
the last of anger and tension disappeared in the empty room, and Sasuke
wondered what exactly had he done just now? Naruto as good as confirmed he had
a crush on Sasuke. Is he going to make bold, horrible, innuendos all the time now, or maybe something worse,
like try to corner him like those freaky girls used to?

And if he was going to be doing that, how was Sasuke
supposed to say no?

*� *�
*� *

They checked out before eleven, so there was a lot of time
left. Naruto kept chatting, but Sasuke wasn�t listening. Naruto wasn�t even
demanding of him to listen, he was just unconformable with the silence.

Outside, in the sunlight, Naruto looked even healthier than
inside. His hair would always compel the beams to make it even brighter, warm
and light. He was turning his face up to the sky, as he was treating his skin
to a bathing in light. It was a good thing to see after the paleness and the
entire illness thing, but Sasuke still wished he wasn�t noticing details.

The place looked somewhat better then it did under the
overcast sky, still old and broken, but people�s voices, sounds of steps,
children, clipping of the machinery in small shops, it all made it better.
There was no that sensation, the tickling feeling and the energy Konoha had;
this city wasn�t exactly alive. But
it also wasn�t dead, not any longer.

There was hope for it yet.��

Out on the streets, there were more people then Sasuke
thought there was in the entire place. They hadn�t been looking oddly at them;
the walk through would be a really pleasant experience if not for the
circumstances.

Once they were at the tunnels entrance opening, Naruto was
leading the way. His step was easy, his arms were exposed and his shirt was
tight enough for Sasuke not to have to use much of his imagination; not that
he�d had to anyway, with the memory of the last night dancing on the edge of
his awareness the entire morning.

In desperate need for distraction, he asked, grudgingly
curious. �How did you find the place anyway?�

�Uh.� Naruto said, watching his step down a side of the pile
of garbage much too carefully for someone who was supporting his step with chakra. �It was an accident.�

Sasuke waited, walking down the narrow path himself.
Eventually, Naruto added. �I wasn�t looking for her, I was just killing time
until you woke up. It was so boring.�

So, he wasn�t trying to bypass Sasuke? That was good.

�And then I smelled it. It�s very specific, the cat smell,
you know, and you had it � you still have it all over you.�

That wasn�t so good. It was just a very odd way to tell
someone they stink. And he had showered after he came back yesterday and again
this morning; either Naruto�s nose belonged to Izunuka family or he was
bullshiting about the last part. Sasuke decided to ignore it.

�So you�ve decided to check it out.�

�Yeah. Your Granny has a foul mouth, though.�

�Elder Cat.� He corrected automatically. It felt wrong for
anyone else to call her Granny. Naruto also had a foul mouth when he wanted.
Sasuke hoped he restrained himself from using them.

Naruto ignored him completely. �The cats are sweet, though. One
of them bit me � aren�t they supposed to scratch people, not bite them?�

�Most of them will scratch. They do have sharp teeth, so
some will use them as well.�

Naruto, who was just going over the cut wire net into the
tunnel, made a face. �I think they hate me.�

�If you don�t have a fur ball half way down your throat,
they don�t hate you.��

Naruto laughed a bit, bit it was neither loud nor happy as
it was supposed to be. They�ve made the rest of the trip through the tunnels in
silence. There were no cats intercepting them, which probably meant they were
not too early after all.�

First time Sasuke was here on his own, in these tunnels,
while looking for Itachi, he thought that it there was no way he�d find the
right path to the hidden part all the way in the back, near the river. But even
before Tinka and Hina showed up to lead him forward, he knew that he was wrong.
The tunnels were all so alike that you had the impression you�re walking over
and over again down the same one, but he knew all the right turns once he�d
reach them.

Because he was here earlier that morning, Naruto knew the
way as well and what to expect, so it wasn�t really surprising that he was
speeding up constantly, never quite satisfied with the tempo. Guilt must be a
powerful fuel.

The �room� with Granny�s tent spread in it was just as
comfortable as it always has been. The walls were far apart from each other,
covered in cutlery, books and improvised scratching posts. Partly because of
all the items that were scattered around and partly because of the strong smell
of cats and smoke, the space seemed smaller then it was. Granny was sitting in
the middle, wrapped in a scarf made of wool and surrounded with her cats.

Naruto rubbed his nose, frowning, as he set down next to
Sasuke before the circular rug. Was he really irritated, which would fit if his
sense of smell was really that good, or was he doing it because he was annoyed
at Granny, Sasuke wasn�t sure. He
felt no need to scratch his nose.

�I can�t be sure,� Granny said, waving off Sasuke�s attempt
to greet her properly. �What they had planed to do, but I have a pretty good
idea. And so do you.�

Sasuke waited. Better to wait for her to say it. Konoha was paying her to say it.

�But I need something more from you before I tell you about
it.�

Sasuke looked at her sharply. Her eyes were just slits, she
was calm and collected. What could she want of him and why she didn�t say
anything yesterday?

Naruto grunted. �You�re not getting more money out of him.
He gave you way too much already.�

�I�m getting old.� She spoke again, ignoring Naruto
completely when he snorted. �And my granddaughter is nothing like her mother
was. Not a spoonful of chakra in her.
I�ve got to make some decisions before I go.�

Ah.

�I�m not a girl.� Sasuke said, vaguely aware of the owlish
blink Naruto turned on him.

Granny sighed and confirmed. �You�re not.�

�He�s really, really,
not.� Naruto chipped in, snickering a bit now. �Why are we discussing it?�

He really needed to learn how to be patient. This was a
pretty big deal.

�I kept hoping her children will be able to be carriers, but
she married a civilian.� Granny was always frowning, but new the line cut in
deeper. She was not approving of her granddaughter�s choices, obviously. �They
are just as useless. But you might still� �

�I�m not a good choice.� Sasuke interrupted her, thinking
about how soft his mother�s hands were when she guided him to sit on the back
of one of the cats. That was one of his first memories. �I won�t be having any
daughters.�

Looking straight to her eyes, he didn�t miss a quick angry
glance Granny gave Naruto. It at least explained why she didn�t like him;
Sasuke expected it to be contrary. As cat�s familiar, living with them for so
many decades, her sense of smell must have grown excellent as well.

�You might.� She
stubbornly set her barely visible eyes on Sasuke again. �Things might change.
You�re still very young.��

A small but definite wave of Naruto�s chakra washed over
Sasuke as he opened his mouth to tell her that she was wrong. He glanced at the
side, but Naruto was glaring Granny and the entire tunnel system down.

�He won�t be having any daughters.� Naruto said, his
authoritative manner full on. Sasuke wondered if he should be amused or angry.
Or flattered. �Now could you please explain it to me why is that important?�

Granny calmly brought her pipe up to her lips, and didn�t
answer. But she was glaring back at Naruto, so maybe the entire city was in
danger of sinking underground.

He�d better explain. �It�s about the contract for summoning
cats. If everyone who had signed it was to die, the contract would be broken
completely.�

�So sign it, what�s the big deal? Cats are cool.��

Only then, when he turned completely to face Naruto, Sasuke
saw one of the yellow cats was purring happily in his hands, arching her back
to accommodate to the heavy stroke. Naruto had no idea how to stroke a cat, but
she seemed to love it anyway.

It was fascinating, for some reason, to watch Naruto
frowning seriously at people, with a big yellow cat trying to get him pat her
more, nuzzling her big yellow head into his dark shirt.

Granny�s voice startled when she snarled. �Insolent brat.�

Right. Explaining. �Cats usually accept contact only with
females.��

�They will accept you,
we�d talked about it. There are not many options left.� Granny told him. She
must have remembered that she had other things to do, besides playing with
Naruto. �Until you can pass it onto a worthy female, we think you will suffice.
Just take care of the contract and pick carefully the next carrier.�

Sasuke glanced around. All present in the room, ninja talking ones and ordinary cats
alike were looking at him expectantly. No one complained, not that Granny would
offer if they had something against it. They probably knew how badly he broke
the contract he had with snakes when he killed Manda,
it�s not like it was a secret, but if they didn�t, then
Sasuke had no plans of telling them. �They
should have done their research better.

He nodded, aware that the movement was slightly jerky.
�Until I can pass it to someone else.�

Granny reached for the scroll that was laying on her left.
Sasuke signed it, carefully not looking at his mother�s name only one column
away. His mouth was dry from the effort not to show any emotion and the
gratefulness Naruto wasn�t asking questions. For now, at least.

�You know the story about what happened here?� Granny said,
watching Sasuke pack the scroll away, not changing her expression. She will
still be able to summon the cats, but losing so much control over who else will
be able to do it must have been hard after so many years.
She wasn�t waiting for an answer. �The outside walls are now
just ruins on many places, but back then, they were solid. We were well
protected from the outside world. Because the wet market down town was working
so well, many people were starting to get rich. The walls were there to keep
out beggars and peasants.�

Naruto growled, lowly, but remained silent otherwise.

�But they were of absolutely no use against ninja gangs of thieves. The Lord had a
lot of problems with them, and when they threatened to throw my family out of
out home, I suggested a deal.�

Her eyes were sharp, even through the cloud of smoke.

�We had always lived in these tunnels, ever since they were
built. The corners we claimed were not affecting the waterways, and neither did
our lives. Those were just excuses. But I told them to leave us alone, and in
turn, I will find someone to make a good, solid barrier around the place. I had
a good bargaining tool in my hands; summoning contracts can�t be found on every
corner. Next time there was a member of a well known ninja clan passing through, I offered them a deal.�

�My clan.� Sasuke stated.

She smiled tightly, wickedly, on a memory and past Sasuke�s
shoulder. �It took more then just allowing some of the women of the clan to sign
the contract. The weaponry they were storing here was illegal and more then
simply deadly. The Lord had no knowledge about the specifics, but he had
granted them unconditional pass into the city. �

�How fascinating.� Naruto grumbled.
�Are we going to hear something useful anytime soon?��

Granny obviously noticed just how much Naruto was annoyed at
her ignoring him, because she took a great pleasure in doing it again.

�After some time, Lord was very comfortable with them
around, safe behind the barrier and behind the rumor of the Uchiha clan
protecting the place. They used that, and started bringing in heaver and
heavier weaponry every time. Sometimes, even trying them out.��

Naruto shifted uncomfortably, and Sasuke gritted his teeth.
He had a feeling about it. His clan
was responsible � not only for what had happened to this place, but also for
what was happening to Konoha. So much damage from a field of old, unkempt
graves.

�And you just let them!?� Naruto asked indignantly. He was
worked up already, he was about to explode. Granny keeping her eyes on Sasuke
steadily was not helpful. He had to say something.

�At that point, she had no choice.� He told Naruto, well
aware from the look in her eyes that she wasn�t regretting her decisions. Like
finding a home somewhere else would be such a big problem, they lived in the
freaking sewers. �If she said anything, they would tell she knew it from the
beginning and she would lose not only her home, but also her freedom.�

Naruto�s reinforced glare clearly said that he thought that
was a good idea, but he remained quiet. Granny continued.

�One day, they brought back with them a box, made of wood.
There was a seal, same seal, engraved into all six sides of it. There was not
warning on it, but it was clear from the effort invested into making the
container that the thing inside was very dangerous.�

Naruto, forgetting all about his anger from the moment
earlier, breathed. �Container?�

For the first time, Granny turned to him. �That is what it
was. Container for a demon.�

A demon? Well, shit.
Not that second Madara would be better, but loose demons could be tricky.
Dealing with them was complicated, tiring and dangerous.

�And?� Naruto prompted, his attention now complete. �What
happened?�

�They tested it. My cats summoned me and my family out of
here when things started to get rough, but no one who was inside the barrier
survived.�

�What happened?�
Naruto repeated impatiently. Sasuke couldn�t feel annoyed with him, because she
really was stretching it.�

�The demon is extracting the life out of humans, feeding on
them or something, and it�s using illusion to subdue the victims. This entire
place died away in one single night, but people on the other side of the wall, waiting
to be let inside in the morning, never heard a single shout or scream. It can
suck the life directly from a human, but it�s drowning them for some reason.�
Granny put away her pipe. �Or at least, that is what we concluded.�

It was sucking the life out of people? No, that didn�t sound
right. Sakura had said that whatever it was that was damaging Naruto was
dividing his chakra. Sasuke saw it
himself yesterday, there were two shades of gray, one disappearing and the
other, darker, slowly blending into the surroundings. No, the demon wasn�t
taking lives; it was taking spiritual energy only.

That matched with what was going on with Naruto. With
civilians, the demon would just suck the life out of them to take what it
needed. But with shinobi, all the spiritual
energy was directly mixing with physical to make chakra, so the demon
would have to separate it first. With Naruto, even when it takes all he had,
the fox was still safe behind the seal the Forth
made, so he was managing to stay alive, even while demon was sucking out every
bit of chakra he�d replace.

Naruto will like that his father saved his life from the
grave.

Granny startled him out of his thoughts. �I�ve never seen
that box after that day. They probably managed to seal the demon away before
people waiting to be let in decided to open the gate forcefully and come
inside.�

And they � Sasuke
had no intention to ask who exactly, because it could have been his father -
took it to Konoha. They took a dangerous demon into Konoha, where their families
lived, and children.

�But,� Naruto demanded. �Why would anyone let something like
that happen? What were they testing?�

Granny said nothing but she didn�t have to. This, Sasuke
knew without a shadow of the doubt. �They wanted to see if they can control it.
With sharingan.��

And they couldn�t, because they wouldn�t let the entire city
of civilians to die without a reason and at once otherwise. There�s no much use
for a thing like that. It was helpful information, at least, even if their
choice of the way to find it out made Sasuke angry. It was understandable they
would want to know how the thing worked if they wanted to use it, but letting
it loose inside of a city full of people was either evil or just insane.

Naruto stood up. �So we have a demon at home? But why isn�t
he killing more people?� He jerked on the way he phrased it, but it was only a
second before he remember more to ask. �Has someone unsealed it? Who was it?
Why?�

Granny was watching him silently from her rag. This was not
something she would know.

�Maybe not.� Sasuke told Naruto, getting up on his feet as
well. �Maybe the seal broke on its own, or weakened after so many years of
containing a hungry demon. They probably never planed to keep it in Konoha for
long.�

�You know what happened.� Naruto stated more then asked,
calming down a little.

It was glaringly obvious, unfortunately. There was one thing
his clan wanted more then anything else, one thing they would think was just
enough to endanger their families by doing something like this. And with
knowing every clause of the seal he had found among his father�s things by
heart, Sasuke thought he knew exactly what happened.

�Yes.� He confirmed. �We should go home now.�

Naruto nodded and turned to the exit. �I hope you don�t feel
too awkward being summoned there by frogs.�

The sensation of being summoned was unpleasant, but it beat
running back to Konoha for two days. It�s not like Naruto was asking, anyway.
It was just a way to inform Sasuke about his plan.

Naruto walked out without saying thank you or goodbye, but
Sasuke couldn�t blame him much. Granny was not very nice to him.

Sasuke said his goodbyes properly, after he asked Granny to
tell him more about the seal that was on the box. She was ready for that,
giving him a dirty yellow paper with uncompleted seal drawn on it. It wasn�t
the same as the one Sasuke had found in his father�s things, but the sealing
subject matched.

With one last glance at Granny, still sitting calmly in the
middle of her gar, sure that he will never see Granny again, Sasuke walked out
to find Naruto so they could go home.

A/N: Heh, it has been almost a
month. Took me quite a while to dare to write the interaction
in the first half of the chapter. So, you know, don't forget to tell me
how it worked out. =D
