Because every time he looks, there's someone. It doesn't matter who.
Whoever it might be is always there. In the mirror, in the streets, whispering his name as he falls asleep.
But he dares not breathe a word to anyone, because he really does know who it is.
Anyone could tell you that Denial was always the first thing to appear in your mind.
No matter what.
One's next turn,
And then another,
Roulette
Because even Gods
Can become bored...
Naruto laughed, bending his head backwards and arching his body, one hand on his hip, the other pretending to cover his mouth. The silky garments he wore draped loosely over his shoulders and hips, showing his slender curves, androgynous as they were. The red silk drifted over his skin, throat bare and his legs exposed by slit sides.
"Orochi-kun, I had no idea you liked me so much!"
The yellow-eyed man smiled lasciviously, eyes raking unashamedly over the blond.
"Naru-chan," he purred, his unnaturally long tongue slurping over his lips, "My offer still stands, you know. Lay in my bed, every night..." His grin gave away exactly what he wanted. Naruto chuckled darkly, hands roving over his body as he preened under such sensuous attention. His feet moved slowly towards the pale man, silk shoes helping the slide.
"Ah, Orochi-kun... I'd love to take you up on that offer, but I already have a handful of them... but then again, none of us are against slight adventures, hmm?" Naruto chuckled again, tongue roving over sharp canines and reddened lips, "Minato would simply adore to join us, I'm sure..." he drawled, hands seemingly massaging his body on their own.
"Naru-chan..." the sinuous man grinned mischievously before he shoved the blond out of a door, receiving a yelp, "As much as I want this body of yours," he leaned against the sides of the door, pale hands roaming the blond's back and ass, "Not in my lab," he finished dryly.
"You are so mean," Naruto turned to him, arms stretching and hands gripping long, black hair between their fingers. Pleasant tingles raced up his spine, "But both Minato and I are dying to have you over us again... that tongue of yours is absolutely wicked..!" his smile was enough to instigate the taller into slamming him against a wall and kissing him thoroughly.
"Ahn..!" Naruto moaned into the man's ear as his throat was kissed, his smirk audible, "Say... weren't you the one who said 'not in my lab', Orochi-kun..?" his malicious smile made the man roll his eyes.
"This is just a taste," the man growled back, before unceremoniously dropping the blond on his behind, "Choose the day, but I'll have you both in my bed, Naru-chan..." he smirked as the blond couldn't contain a groan at the dark, raspy and lustful voice.
"Done..." Naruto whispered, standing. Then he pouted adorably, "But don't drop me like that again, Orochi-maru..." it was not a request.
Yellow-gold eyes glowed at him as black lips smiled darkly.
"You're kidding..!"
Their blue eyes and blond hair were identical, from small details in the iris, to the cut of blond bangs. Their bodies were both sinuous and built for speed. They could only be told apart by their clothes and, sometimes, expressions.
Minato squealed.
"You're serious..?!"
Naruto grinned as they both disrobed for a much needed bath, "Yup!" he told the other happily, "One night in Orochi-kun's bed, whichever day we want!"
Minato cheered, "Yes! Awn, just thinking about what he did last time makes me horny..!" He whined, pretending to stretch his arms so he could circle them around the other. Naruto hummed, body moving so they were side-by-side, clothes falling to the ground, skin brushing as they prepared the bath in unison.
Warm water, sweat, steam.
Minato relaxed, swift hands making quick work of his shoulders, of his back, and of every single muscle in his body. A throaty moan as a reward to Naruto, he was given a few moments to compose himself before returning the favor, humming.
"Mina..." Naruto called, eyes closed, "What do you think Orochi-kun will have in store for us, this time..?" he purred as Minato sat between his legs in the bathtub, mouth attaching itself to his neck.
"No idea," Minato answered, nibbling on skin, his own purrs growing as the other's hands manhandled his lower back and ass, touching and massaging every sensitive spot possible. Minato moaned, "But I am already anxious," he murmured as he bit down, earning a sharp hiss.
"So am I," Naruto bared his teeth, eyes softly shut, "So am I."
"Kaaa-kuuuun!!"
Long, silky silver hair flew as its owner was unceremoniously tackled. He remained standing simply because he expected such a greeting.
"Minato," he murmured in response, "You're in a good mood. Did you and Naruto arrange another partner..?" he turned his head, as blackish-blue eyes sought out jewel-like blue.
The blond had other ideas, however, as he moved his own head to meet the taller man in a kiss, not exactly chaste, but not deep. Silver hair flowing over his shoulders, he twisted so as to support the blond with a hand underneath him, and swallowed the resulting whimper with a smirk. Minato circled his waist with his legs, slowly rotating his hips. The hand on his behind pushed him to grind against the taller man.
With a wet pop, Minato pulled back, licking red-bruised lips. The silver-haired man resumed his walk, though he did not release him.
"As demanding as ever, Ka-kun..." the blond purred, "And Naru got one night with Orochi-kun..! I'm delighted."
"Lucky you," the man chuckled, "I seem to remember he rarely offers, and when he does, it's unforgettable."
"Oh yes," Minato breathed against his cheek, "We had one quite a few years ago, and it still gives me shivers..."
"Should I be jealous..?" he purred with a lewd smirk.
"Is there such a word in our vocabulary, Kakashi?" Minato licked a path from his cheek to his ear, grinning delightedly.
"Sasu? Ita?"
A crash and a yelp answered him. Seeing black hair strewn over rubber slabs, he approached with an amused smile, light steps making almost no sound.
"Sasu-chan?"
"What now?" the murmur came from one slab, without real bite to the words. Naruto blinked in surprise, looking at the slab in wonder.
"Do you like turning into things?" the blond asked, gently prodding it with a slender finger, the other hand resting over his mouth. The slab shuddered with a distraught sigh.
"I was testing a few things. Besides, do you even know what you're poking?" Naruto paused, left hand resting over where he had touched. Gently, he pressed the rubber, making out a particular shape. He giggled in delight, "Obviously you do," the voice sighed again.
"Where is the opening of this thing?" Naruto asked curiously, "I might as well accompany you in these 'experiments'," he added with another happy giggle.
"You're going to get in the way again, aren't you, Naru?" the voice asked humorously. The blond pouted, offended, still searching for a button or a zipper. The rubber shifted, "By the way, why have you come here? Though I know you love to visit us, I've the feeling there was something more…"
"You don't remember what day it is?" Naruto asked with a chuckle, "Ita-kun?"
The black hair sizzled, giving off a greenish glow, before moving. A tall man rose from between two slabs.
"Yes?" the soft voice answered him.
"Are you alright?" Naruto cocked his head to the side, eyes raking over whatever was not covered by hair. A nod was his answer as the man pushed his hair back, tying it with a black rope. He was dressed in a loose kimono with green ties around his waist, shoulders somewhat bare as it kept sliding down his arms. Despite raising his head to look at the blond, his eyes were covered by a black mask. His strange smile was visible still.
Stepping surely in their direction, the man seemed to see perfectly, but Naruto knew the mask prevented him from seeing at all. His long, pale fingers deftly moved of the rubber, freeing his companion. The blond smiled in delight.
"Sasu-chan!" he threw his arms around the other's neck, nibbling on the cheek presented to him before giggling as the man swatted at his bottom. His eyes were covered by a simple black silk blindfold. His kimono was much like his companions, with a few extra silver details at the bottom and blue ties around his waist. His body moved and molded with Naruto's, as if used to having the blond so close.
"It is today, then..?" Soft, whispering, the tall one mused, "I suppose we will have to freeze this room. There are experiments that are affected by time…" Naruto nodded in understanding, releasing the one with blue ties and moving to gain a soft kiss from the taller.
"Can you do it alone, Itachi?"
He nodded.
"Alright. We'll meet you there, Ita-kun!" Naruto called cheerfully, leaving the room. The shorter of the two accompanied him.
"We'll have to warn her as well, won't we?" he asked the blond at the same time he took one of his hands and gave his knuckles butterfly kisses.
"Yes," Naruto let a soft laugh out, "I intend to live very much, thank you," his free hand wove itself between silky, bluish-black hair. The other chuckled lowly.
"That's right," he mused as he slid his lips along Naruto's jaw and throat, "She is the only Queen with quite a temper…"
"Awn, she's not that bad," the blond chuckled lightly, "Right, Sasuke?"
A dark chuckle and a move that made him moan were his answer.
Long, silver hair tied high on his head drifted behind him, lining corners as he turned. Blackish-blue eyes shifted uninterestedly over open doors, seeking someone in particular. The doors soon disappeared, steam coating the ceiling in a thin sheet of warm water and clouding his eyes.
He blinked away moisture, his lips becoming strangely wet and curved in a mischievous smile.
Stopping under an archway and leaning against it, body curving to make him comfortable, he watched.
Inside the spring, hair wet and flowing along the water, she bathed blissfully, humming an old tune under her breath. He watched as she rinsed her body, the rosy petals strewn over the surface of the water clung to her skin.
At her soft sigh, he moved, first undressing, then slowly entering the water and moving to her. She did not turn, nor make a sound, but welcomed him when his chest touched her back.
"Hello there," he breathed beside her ear, "Are you enjoying yourself?" he asked softly. She chuckled, her blond hair wet.
"And what are you doing here, Kashi-kun?"
"The new Roulette will begin soon. We are to reunite," he murmured, nuzzling behind her ears.
"Ah," she said softly, her breath of sunflowers drowning him, "I suppose this is one of those we stay mostly in the same place?"
"We were lucky," He agreed silkily, hands gently roaming over her hips, "To have such an outcome is so rare," he sighed in her ear.
"Then let's make the best of it," she purred, turning in his arms and spreading the oil of her bath over his shoulders, to relax him.
"I intend to, very much," he chuckled, "Very much, Ino-hime."
She laughed.
