Author's note: I am truly sorry for the abomination you're about to read. I never thought my first steps into the Heaven Official's Blessing's fandom would be a crossover crack fic of all things, but alas, my brain is a monstrosity like that. I do promise that my next fic for this fandom will be a lot more serious. In the meantime, forgive me for what you're about to read. Consider this my first attempt at trying to get a feeling of the characters. I've started reading the second novel, but I pieced together bits and pieces of what's going to happen next, so hopefully I'm not messing up too badly!
Warnings: Dual pov; crossover between Naruto and Heaven Official's Blessing; crack fic; established slash; mentions of traumatic events, because man, they all have some serious trauma they should work through; attempt at humour
I hope you'll like it? *winces*
One and the Same
"Are you ready to go, gege?" Hua Cheng asked, putting E-Ming in its scabbard. The scimitar rattled briefly in its scabbard; its red eye curling up in a crescent when it caught sight of Xie Lian.
Xie Lian smiled, petting E-Ming carefully across its hilt. "Yes, I am. But San Lang, are you sure you can spare the time?" He furrowed his eyebrows, unwilling to drag his husband along if he had other pressing matters to attend to in Ghost City.
"Of course I can, gege," was Hua Cheng's prompt reply. "They can handle themselves for one day. They are not that inept."
"If San Lang is sure," Xie Lian murmured and accepted the dice; Hua Cheng's spiritual energy making the instruments vibrate almost unnoticeably.
Ling Wen had requested Xie Lian research an old library and see if there was anything still valuable left. There were rumours persisting about a group of ghosts guarding the place, attacking anyone who dared to come near it. So Xie Lian's objective was twofold: investigate the library and confirm whether there was any truth to the rumours or not. A simple assignment that really should not take longer than a day at most.
He couldn't quite hide his smile when Hua Cheng stepped up behind him, closing his arms around his waist. His silver vambraces gleamed in the daylight pouring through a window of the temple and Xie Lian reminded himself absently that he would need to check the roof soon and inspect whether it would be ready to brace the upcoming autumn storms.
But that was a concern for later. He closed his eyes and concentrated on the coordinates he'd been given by Ling Wen before throwing the dice down. He and Hua Cheng stepped forwards, allowing the Distance Shortening Array to transport them both to the correct place.
Xie Lian opened his eyes at the same moment an unknown male voice snarled, "Who the hell are you two and where did you come from?!"
Oh, oops, Xie Lian thought when he took in the sight of a shocked blond man and a glaring black haired man just a few feet away from them. They looked decidedly alive, which could only mean …
Xie Lian sighed, just barely restraining the urge to bury his face in his hands. His bad luck struck once again.
"So, that's your weapon of choice?" The man eyed E-Ming sceptically, undeterred by the way E-Ming's eye was glaring suspiciously at him.
"My main one," Hua Cheng confirmed. "It's not entirely useless, I suppose. Yours is that katana?" It was one of the better katana he had seen in his life so far, he supposed, but he knew his own armoury contained far more powerful katana. Of course it did, because he had put it together for Dianxia and he deserved nothing but the best.
"Yes," was the curt reply. The man eyed E-Ming more intently. "How did you animate the eye?"
Hua Cheng smiled thinly. "During my time as a weak ghost, I came across a group of humans. I ripped out my eye in order to create a weapon to defend them as I knew gege would have saved them."
The dark haired man nodded thoughtfully. His own eyes flashed red suddenly, making Hua Cheng raise an eyebrow. The man pointed at them. "Developed my Sharingan in order to protect Naruto when we were younger. I developed it further throughout the years."
A spark of respect flared up within Hua Cheng. He had already assumed the two men were together, based on how closely they had been standing next to each other when he and Xie Lian had arrived and how the dark haired man had immediately stepped in front of the other one. Hua Cheng doubted the man could feel as much love for his lover as Hua Cheng felt for Xie Lian, but nevertheless in a sense they were kindred spirits he supposed. He had turned his eye into a cursed weapon, the man in front of him had developed a strange power in his eyes in order to defend his own love. Hua Cheng could respect that.
Still he couldn't let himself be outdone by a mere human.
"Gege was the one who gave me purpose. I exist solely to serve him and fulfil his every need."
The man lifted an eyebrow. "Naruto is the only one who kept believing in me and who saved me from the darkness. Without him, I would have been lost a long time ago. He's the light to my shadow."
Hm, perhaps they were a tad more similar than he had initially anticipated. "Pray tell me, do you have to deal with many enemies?"
His initial reaction at their appearance implied an affirmative response, which was confirmed by the man's dark scowl. "Yes, because the idiots think they stand a chance."
Ah yes, Hua Cheng had quite some experience with that particular stupidity. He motioned for the other man to sit down with him, so they could discuss their protective measures. He doubted the other man could tell him something he hadn't thought about before, but with how protective he seemed about the blond man, Hua Cheng would be remiss to let this chance pass him by.
"I am terribly sorry for disturbing you," Xie Lian apologised profusely, grimacing as he clasped his hands together. "My luck – it has never been that great."
The blond man waved away his apology as easily as Hua Cheng always did. "Mah, no need to apologise. It was a bit surprising, I admit, but hey, accidents can always happen!"
But they happen too often to me, Xie Lian thought morosely. They were in quite a beautiful field, but it was nowhere near the library he and Hua Cheng were supposed to visit. As a matter of fact, they were in a completely different country, because of course his luck would be that fickle even now. Truly, he should just leave the dice to Hua Cheng next time; who knew where else they might end up next otherwise?
Speaking of his husband, Hua Cheng was talking quite animatedly with the other man, just a couple of feet away from Xie Lian and the blond man. It surprised him slightly, because Hua Cheng was not known to willingly interact in a friendly manner with anyone who wasn't Xie Lian. It was nice to witness, however, even if Hua Cheng and the man were discussing in rather explicit, violent detail how to best do away with any enemies bothering their respective partners.
"Erm, who are you actually?" the blond man asked sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.
Oh, right; how rude of him. He hadn't introduced himself yet! Well, after scaring the wits out of the couple by their sudden appearance, there was no reason to pretend to be fully human. It would be an insult to the both of them. "My name is Xie Lian. I'm a god."
Blue eyes lit up in interest. "Oh, a god? Of what?"
"Ah, well, I'm called the Trash God or the God of Misfortune," Xie Lian admitted. "Thrice ascended as a martial god; my luck has been quite terribly for the last couple of centuries. I'm afraid I'm not that terribly good at being a god."
"Well, you can't be that terrible if you managed to ascend three times," the blond ascertained.
It all depended on one's viewpoint, of course. The other heavenly officials certainly had not been pleased by his third ascension back then. "He's San Lang, my husband. And a Ghost King."
The blond man squinted, studying Hua Cheng. "Yeah, I can see him being a king of sorts," he concurred, most likely referring to Hua Cheng's clothes and silver vambraces; the way he looked did not exactly scream poverty.
"Ghost King, you say? So he's dead?"
"In a sense, yes. He's one of the strongest ghosts ever recorded," Xie Lian replied and couldn't stifle the note of pride in his voice. Why would he when it was true? Not many ghosts after all managed to become a Supreme, let alone be able to defeat multiple gods in their own field.
"Ah." The blond man seemed to ponder that for a moment before he shook his head. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, but you can just call me Naruto. If we're playing the honesty card, well, I'm also a Jinchuuriki; got a chakra demon sealed inside of me."
A chakra demon? Was this akin to spiritual energy? That would explain the odd spinning blue ball Xie Lian had briefly witnessed in Naruto's hand when they had arrived.
"Ah, and I'm Hokage, the leader of my village," Naruto continued, wiggling his feet back and forth. "He's Uchiha Sasuke, my husband." His cheeks coloured red at the admission and Xie Lian couldn't help but smile at that. He was also still wont to blushing whenever he vocally referred to Hua Cheng as his husband even though they had been married for three years by this point now.
"I'm really sorry for interrupting your day," Xie Lian apologised again. "I suppose I was not concentrating on the coordinates well enough."
"Mah, it's fine, it's fine." Again Naruto waved away his apologies. "We've dealt with a lot worse than two strangers popping up."
Xie Lian knew that feeling all too well.
"So how did you two meet?" Naruto asked curiously, shaking his head in exasperation when Sasuke and Hua Cheng started comparing ways to interrogate people quicker.
"Ah, it's a … bit complicated, but we met before I ascended and before he become a ghost," Xie Lian answered and rubbed his hands together. "I … Well, San Lang will tell you I gave his life meaning again, but I still maintain I was too brash, too hot-brained. I thought I knew everything back then." He sighed, shaking his head at his own naivety. "We met properly once more after I ascended for the third time. By then he had become the Ghost King and we became better … acquainted eventually. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me," he added softly.
Naruto nodded in understanding. "Yeah, I think I get that. When I was a kid, the villagers didn't like me because of Kyuubi, the chakra demon inside of me. Back then I didn't know yet that I had him sealed inside of me, so I never understood why they seemed to hate me." A faraway look appeared on his face then, as if he was sinking back in the memories. "Sasuke, though, he was one of the first to treat me like normal. Didn't matter what the others thought of me or how they treated me, Sasuke always treated me normally. Never lesser."
A huff of amusement escaped him. "I declared him my rival at first, because the bastard was just so damn good at everything and that really annoyed me. We became best friends after that, though, and now, well …" He cleared his throat, blushing once more.
Xie Lian smiled, feeling something akin to kinship with the other man. He knew how it felt to be treated as an outcast, only to then meet the one person who treated you differently. He had never realised he had essentially stopped living until Hua Cheng appeared in his life again.
Ruoye chose that moment to reveal itself, slithering from underneath Xie Lian's sleeve, turning towards Naruto. The other man jumped in surprise, his blue eyes widening a notch.
"What the - "
"Ah, sorry about that!" Xie Lian urged Ruoye back around his wrist, petting the cloth soothingly. "This is Ruoye, my spiritual device. He's a … weapon of sorts."
Comprehension flitted across Naruto's face. "Oh, I get it. Sort of like the fluffy bastard in me!" At that, something odd and reddish orange started leaking through his skin, forming some sort of oddly semi-transparent shield. The shield then grew until a fox head reared up above Naruto's head, opening his jaw in a silent roar.
At that same moment E-Ming suddenly went straight for Naruto's throat, sending Xie Lian's heart leaping into his own before he urged Ruoye to come out and restrain E-Ming. Ruoye barely managed to shot out or the scimitar was suddenly knocked off course, sending him spinning through the air.
"What do you think you're doing?" Hua Cheng demanded coldly, his hand already reaching up to command E-Ming again, whose red eye was spinning agitatedly around.
"No, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Sasuke hissed, his katana brandished, covering Naruto behind him. "You sent that scimitar after him again and I – "
"You what?" Hua Cheng's mouth curled up into a cold smile. "I'm a Ghost King, you think you can actually kill me?"
"I've fought the dead and the literal goddess of chakra before. Don't think I won't find a way," Sasuke shot back, baring his teeth.
"Wait, hold on!" Xie Lian rushed to say, flustered, and rose up, waving his hands around anxiously. Gods, the last thing he wanted was to land into a fight with people who had meant no harm! "San Lang, it's okay! Naruto wasn't attacking me, he was showing his own spiritual device! That's all, I promise!"
"Gege." Hua Cheng frowned, his eye shooting back and forth between Xie Lian and Naruto.
"Spiritual device is speaking too highly of this fluffy bastard," Naruto muttered, but the orange reddish shield sank back underneath his skin.
"It's fine, see, San Lang, we're just talking," Xie Lian reassured him and to prove his point, he sat back down.
Sasuke was frowning too; a frown which deepened when Naruto slapped his thigh. "You know I could have defended myself just fine, you bastard," Naruto complained and huffed. "Didn't need to block that, damn it."
Sasuke rolled his eyes, but relaxed, sheathing his katana while Hua Cheng did the same with E-Ming. "Don't always land in this kind of situation then, usuratonkachi."
"Does your husband also often land in trouble like gege?" Hua Cheng asked interestedly; his eye briefly warming when he looked at Xie Lian, who groaned and buried his face in his hands.
Sasuke snorted. "When does he not land into trouble?"
"Bastard, I'm not that bad!" Naruto retorted heatedly.
Despite the fact that just a couple of seconds earlier both men had been ready to tear each other's throat out, Sasuke and Hua Cheng sat back down and returned to their conversation calmly as if nothing had been amiss in the first place.
"I used to disperse clones around the world," Hua Cheng was saying, "but that never really got the job done. If you want to stay ahead of those morons, it's best to create something smaller to use as spies. Like my butterflies for example." At this, he released a couple of his silvery butterflies, letting them flutter in between them.
Sasuke leant forwards to study them more intently. "Hm, that would indeed work a lot better to keep an eye on everything."
"Oh my god, there's no need to keep an eye on anything, bastard," Naruto sighed exasperatedly, but Sasuke paid him no mind as he and Hua Cheng set about trying to figure out what Sasuke could use in lieu of Hua Cheng's butterflies.
"Why do we even bother with those overprotective nuts?" Naruto inquired darkly, raising and bending his knees to rest his chin on them.
Xie Lian smiled warmly. "Because we love them," he stated plainly.
Naruto groaned and thumped his head against his knees. "Yeah, we do," he muttered.
They sat there in companiable silence for a while longer, watching on as their husbands became more and more creative in ways of keeping them safe.
Naruto turned towards him and Xie Lian offered an inquisitive hum. "Hey, think you can stay a bit longer for lunch? I was about to make something to eat."
"That sounds great if you don't mind having us," Xie Lian smiled gratefully.
"It better not be ramen again, Naruto!" Sasuke was quick to warn.
Hua Cheng smirked, tilting his head arrogantly to the left. "Gege's cooking is amazing. Is your husband bad in the kitchen?"
"San Lang!" Xie Lian admonished him.
"Far from it," was Sasuke's immediate retort and he scowled at Hua Cheng as if offended that Hua Cheng would even say something like that. It was, funnily enough, the same look Hua Cheng tended to carry whenever someone was dubious about Xie Lian's cooking. "But eating ramen every day is not healthy either!"
"Hm, I suppose you have a point," Hua Cheng conceded rather easily.
"You can both starve for all I care!" Naruto huffed and stormed off towards the cottage Xie Lian had spotted earlier.
As Xie Lian followed Naruto, he listened to Hua Cheng and Sasuke exchanging recipes of all things and he shook his head fondly. Clearly visiting the supposedly haunted library was not something that was still going to happen today, but that was okay.
A chance opportunity like this had to be enjoyed after all, even if this opportunity had only come along because of his bad luck.
Best to let Hua Cheng cast the dice to bring them back home afterwards, though. Xie Lian wasn't going to take any other chances anymore today.
The End
AN2: How do they understand each other when they're of different countries? It's the power of anime/donghua *nods sagely* I don't know what this is, this is what you get when I start thinking about the similarities between them. (Sasuke and Hua Cheng would absolutely exchange ideas on how to protect their husbands, you can't convince me otherwise) Well, here's this abomination. Promise the next fic will be more serious!
Please leave your thoughts behind in a review; should you spot any mistakes, please point them out to me.
I hope to see you all back in my future fics! Please stay safe and take care of yourselves!
