Rating – M – Yaoi, SasuNaru - If you don't like it get lost, i dont have time for twats.
Disclaimer - Yes i own Naruto, in fact i own Masashi Kishimoto and George Bush (twat) and if you dont know sarcasm when your reading it...You're a twat!
Okay today i have an obsession with the word twat. twatwatwatwatwatwatwatwatwat. There got it out fo my system...now. This is a load of shite, bull shit; the little pellets Pakun leaves all over Kakashi's pervy books. I write to get it out of my system. My writing style stinks worse than Sakura. I know this. So please try and look past the crappy writing and try ans see the plot and emotions i'm trying to portray, if it's possible. Hmmm looking back at what i've writen i've noticed i'm using the word try alot. And that last sentence proves i write a load of twaddle. Please review and tell me how i can improve this dung heap.
Chapter 1 – Sleeping Angel
The raven haired figure watched the man in front of him carefully, looking for any sudden movements, a tilt of his head, a blink of his eye, a slight twitch of his little finger. Nothing. Suddenly a sound penetrated the darkness that had fallen on them. Then...
"We'll be finished if Pein completes his mission"
"Pein?"
"He has gone to collect the ninth."
"Naruto," Sasuke breathed.
"Don't worry, Pein won't succeed. "
"And how exactly do you know that?"
"Naruto is mine, he was made for me."
Sasuke tramped through the forest, not bothering to try and hide his presence or to even keep the noise he was making to a minimum. Twigs snapped and leaves crackled underneath his weary feet but the noise he was making was nothing compared to the din that was coming from within the vicinity where they had set up camp.
Sasuke groaned, Jugo had probably tried to take his shirt off Karin again. Honestly, she was worse than the fan-girls, Sasuke entered the small clearing. To his surprise the small fire just outside the tent was blazing and water was being warmed above the snaking tongues which licked the small pot furiously.
Looking around Sasuke saw everyone was inside the tent and his curiosity rose him from his groggy state when hushing noises reached his ears, then silence. Sasuke frowned when he heard the rustling of sheets, then the voices rising again.
'Something's wrong' was the first thought thatflashed through his mind then, 'He's found us.'The ravens aching joints tensed as he crept towards the entrance of the tent. He carefully poked his head through the opening, preparing himself for what might come, quietly cursing his body for being too tired to support the sharingan. To his shock, instead his of finding enemy ninja or even 'him', there was just Jugo and Karin arguing over a sleeping figure which as completely covered with the sheets.
Sasuke, thinking Suigetsu had been injured, stepped into the tent looking at Karin questioningly but then noticed Suigetsu sitting at the back of the tent with a smirk on his face that clearly said 'Your not gonna like this and I'm gonna love every minute of it'
The raven shot him a murderous glare before turning back to Karin. She turned away from his gaze quickly and squeezed past him to the exit of the tent. Suddenly Jugo's voice sounded.
"Hey, Sasuke, why didn't you tell us he was so cute!"
Sasuke stared at the teenager who was kneeling down beside the sleeping figure which began to stir unfer the sheets, raising an eyebrow.
What on earth was the idiot talking about. They'd brought an outsider into the camp without his knowledge. A sinking feeling gripped Sasuke's stomach as a single thought crossed his mind 'It was somebody he knew.' This could be dangerous, there was no way of telling how old acquaintances might react to him. But they knew that. So why did he feel like they had done something that was going to cause him a lot of pain in the future.
Sasuke glanced at Suigetsu again. He was still waering that smug smile that made Sasuke want to punch him. Of course he wouldn't actually do that. I would ruin his indifferent image that he had somehow managed to maintain through all the homocidal, power crazed lunatics he had encountered in the past couple of years.
Turning back to Yugo, Sasuke purposely stepped over the sleeping figures feet to stand beside his mentally unstable teamate. He wouldn't call anyone friend, noy again. Not since he had decided to leave, since he left that life behind.
Still feeling Suigetsu's grin directed at the back of his head and then noticing Yugo's small encouraging smile, he clasped the sheet which was covering the figures head and pulled it back enough to see it's head inone smooth motion. But after that his composed air evaporated as his shaking hand let the sheet drop quickly around the neck of the teenage boy lying in front of him. The sight that met him was so beautiful yet so shocking that it paralyzed him to the spot.
Sasuke could feel the colour draining out of his already pale face as his eyes desperetly slid over the slightly tanned face, praying, pleading to be seeing something other than this. His heart thumped painfully inside his chest, bruising his ribs and deafing him. The blond hair blinded him, eyes swimming he tried to gain control of himself.
Inhaling deeply and forcing his voice up his throat and into his dry mouth he finally managed to breath, "Naruto."
"Yup," Yugo said cheerfully jolting him awake. "We found him."
"And he wasn't into good a state either," came Suigetsu's voice for beside him. "We thought the Konoha ninja would come and look for him, bt so far...," he trailed off.
Naruto gone missing and Konoha not looking for him, that wasn't right. He's a jinchinkuuri as well, it wasn't long ago since all the villages had been in a panic seeking help from old enemies and friends alike to combat the threat of Akatsuki. Now Naruto was the last jinchinkuuri left, why would Konoha just abandon him? What was Hokage-sama thinking? Or maybe she wasn't. His mind wandered to Danzou and the two elderly councillors, could they have something to do with this?
"What's wrong with him!" said an alarmed voice. Suigetsu was staring aat the blond boy who had begun to curl into a ball while letting out a small wimpering noise that vaguely reminded Sasuke of a mewing kitten.
Yugo bent down closely to Naruto's face, sending a frown across Sasukes face as he gently whispered in the blond's ear, "Hey little cutie, come on now, does it hurt?"
Sasuke adverted his gaze from the two and raised an eyebrow at Suigetsu who simply shrugged his shoulders. "Yugo seem's to have taken a liking to the kid," then that annoying smirk appeared on his face again as he whispered in Sasukes ear, "Is the big bad Uchiha, jealous?"
Sasuke tilted his head to look at Suigetsu and saw an evil glint in his eyes. Keeping his face as emotionless as possible he simply said, "Are you?"
"Awwww come now Sasuke, we all knew you were queer, have you not noticed that all those fan-girls are yaoi fan-girls."
Sasuke's eyebrow twitched, 'I swear he practises that patronizing voice when nobidy can hear him."
He turned his attention back to the blond boy to stop himself from doing something to Suigetsu that he'd prbably regret. "hmmm must be why Karin is always staring at you."
"You..."
But Suigetsu didn't have time to finish his retort as a shrill scream erupted from Naruto's mouth and pierced Sasuke's ears. The small boy began to writhe in pain and Sasuke saw a single white feather sail past his face before the sheet was blasted into the air to reveal two brilliantly white wings protruding from Naruto's back.
Naruto lay semi-naked, clutching at the pillow, clawing at it. Sweat rolled down his slightly tanned body as he continued to make small mewling noises inbetween the pain filled gasps that were slipping out from between his two light pink lips.
Behind his stony face, Sasuke stared in horror at the condition of his old teammate. He had never seen Naruto so unguarded and vunerable; he always had that goofy grin on his face but now...
"They're beautiful," Sasuke turned to Yugo who was staring dreamily at Naruto's wings. Yugo turned his gaze to Sasuke and looked up at him with a playful hurt expression floating across his face. "Why didn't you tell us he was cute and had wings?" Sasuke frowned.
"Well judging by Sasuke's face, i think we can safely assume he's not meant to have those wings." said Suigetsu in a 'of course he's not meant to have them' tone.
Sasuke suddenly became very anxious, he didn't like how easily Suigetsu could read him. Carefully composing his face and making sure no emotions were slipping through the stony mask. He was about to open his mouth to say something when another scream ripped through the air as Naruto began to have a violent spasm.
Thick dark lines and symbols began to appear on the blonds lightly tanned skin but before Sasuke could get a good look at them the two wings began to beat furiously and the three teenagers each recieved a face full of silky white feathers.
Sasuke instinctively raised his arm to cover his eyes so all he could hear was Naruto's screams of pain.
Naruto, he had to help Naruto.
With every scream his heart was being ripped in two.
Sasuke's hand began to shake.
Would he be in this much pain if he hadn't left him?
Karin burst into the tent.
Why did he leave him alone?
Karin grabbed Naruto from behind, fighting against the beating wings.
He'd been alone for so long and i left him again.
Hot, red blood dripped onto the floor, rolling down the blonds arms, spurting from his shoulder blades, staining his wings.
Naruto's in pain...and i can't do anything about it.
Okay Naruto has wings and Sasuke has conviently took this time to go through his mid-life crisis ... or he's regretting his actions, you decide which.
I'm gonna say this now this not one of those guardian angel fanfic things, there is a very good reason why Naruto has them, if you want to know that reason i sugest you review, or i might just set some gay peodophilles on you.
But if you review i'll love you! .
