::Warning:: This is Yaoi so if you don't like boy x boy relationship then don't bother reading this.
Sitebzen: I got this idea when I wonder what Halloween would be like in sound but instead the story took a shift to a different direction. This only happens when you edit a story. Anyways I might draw some parts of this story that way I can practice drawing Kabuto and Sasuke. I also did it because I wanted to draw Sasuke with cat ears. I mean who doesn't want to see that? He's so cute but enough with that.
Summary: It's Halloween and Kabuto is so excited about it. It's too bad that Orochimaru and Sasuke don't feel the same way. There's a festival in a nearby town and so many unexpected events that will take place in a single night. So enjoy!
A/N: Sorry if the characters are too OOC. Ignore my horrible spelling and grammatical errors. I'm a horrible writer I have to admit but I won't let that stop me. So I hope you still like this.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters from the manga/anime call Naruto. It belongs to its creator Masashi Kishimoto. If I did I'll make everyone adore Kabuto. XD
This means 'thought' and this means "talk".

Moonlight Madness…!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The beat of drums and other loud noises emitted from a nearby town. The sounds just got louder when the skies darken and the once bright sun was replaced by the moon. Today was the night of a full red moon and a certain raven hair shinobi couldn't help but stare at it. His senses shut down everything but the single image of that majestic moon. In his mind it replayed that single night when his entire clan was slaughter by his older brother, Itachi Uchiha. The man he at one point in his life looked up to and loved with every fiber of his being. All that remained from that day was nothing but this drowning emptiness. He lost everything in a single night and he was all alone. How could someone do such a horrible thing?
"To test the limits of my power…"
That was what his brother said to him. Nothing could justify the actions he took that night. The only thing that bothered the young Uchiha the most was the reason why he was still alive. 'Why didn't he just kill me when he had the chance?' He knew the answer.
'He spared my life so he wouldn't be tormented with the guilt of annihilating the entire clan.' For the young Sharingan user death would be so much better than the hell he is living in right now. The memories of the times they spend together haunted him the most. He clenches tightly the sheets of his bed because he knew that all that brotherly love was nothing but a lie.
As time progress so did his hatred toward his brother. 'Itachi, I will get my revenge one way or another.' He wasn't strong enough in his last encounter with his brother and for that reason he left the hidden leaf village. As much as he wanted the comfort he got from team seven and the others. A part of his heart wasn't completely satisfied. His guilt prevented him from living a peaceful life.
'It was my fault that mother and father died.'
He clentch his hands tightly, 'I wasn't strong enough. That's why I'm here in sound with that snake Orochimaru. I have to get stronger no matter what even if I have to kill my heart in the process. That's just fine with me as long as I see you dead. If I can't I won't be able to move on with my life.' To become stronger the young Uchiha choose to ignore his heart and cut all ties that bonded him to those he cherish. If he had stayed with them they would just get in the way and get hurt.
'I don't ever want to see anyone I care to die before my eyes ever again.'
He closed his eyes as he thought about a certain knucklehead ninja and his bright smiles. 'Just forget about me Naruto. To you I'm better off dead.' He couldn't understand why the kitsune boy would keep chasing after him after all the crap he's done to him. No he knew exactly why and that bothers him the most.
"You're my friend, Sasuke. You were one of the first bonds I ever made and I think of you as a brother."
Naruto's words always manage to sting his heart. He truly valued the blonde's friendship but there was no turning back. He also remembers Sakura's pleas. She truly cared for him but he could never correspond to her feelings. Right now hatred toward his brother should be the only thing occupying his heart but no matter what he does he can't seem to forget about his friends.
'Have I truly become this weak? To let such things bother me?'
He thought being in sound would make him forget about everything but instead it just suppresses it. Such memories just surfaces when he's alone, like he was now. That's why he rather be occupied with training then be tormented by these memories. The young Uchiha shook his head. He didn't want to think about them anymore.
The young brute was sitting on his bed as he played with his purple bowknot that holds up his white robe and dark pants. Anything to distract him from thinking about the others he left behind. All that he should care about is getting stronger and obtaining his revenge. He touched a little below his collar and embedded on it was the Uchiha crest.
'It's my duty as an avenger. Big brother left me alive for the sole purpose to be the one who will eventually destroy him.'
Sasuke lay down on his bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. He couldn't help but think how strange life in sound has been. He thought it would be brutal and it was but some things were just plain weird. When he first got here he refused to wear those hideous sound uniforms. He would rather wear a regular kimono but his snake mentor wouldn't allow it. The young brute closed his eyes as his thoughts wandered to that day he got his new clothes.
::Flashback::
As he walked in his room he noticed someone was inside. "Who's there?" The young brute said as he held a grip on his sword. "Put your weapon away, Sasuke. I'm not here to fight with you." He recognized the voice it belonged to the medical nin that was assigned to him.
"Kabuto, what are you doing in my room?"
"Just leaving you a small gift is all," he said as he put down something on his bed. Sasuke walked closer to see what it was and it was a new set of clothes. "You don't have to thank me," Kabuto said walking pass him. "What's this?" Sasuke said touching the cloth that was embedded with the symbol of the Uchiha clan.
The silver hair teen leaned against the door with his arms cross, "I know how much you hate to wear anything that would tide you to our village even I agree that the long turtle necks are annoying." The silver hair teen pause and push up his glasses as he continue, "I also know how much you take pride of the Uchiha clan. I just hope this is more to your liking."
"Why are you doing this?" The young Uchiha asked as he stared suspiciously at the other. Kabuto isn't one to do anything out of the kind gesture of his heart unless it benefits him in some form or way. "Don't think about it too much. It's not like I like you on the contrary you're just a thorn on my side." Sasuke glared at him.
"I only did it because your appearance repulses me."
Sasuke blinked, "What's wrong with the way I look?"
"What you don't believe me? Just look at yourself. You're shirt is all torn up and stain by blood," he said gesturing to Sasuke's attire. Kabuto brush some hair out of his face and said, "At this rate your rags will come off and I can't bare the idea of you walking around the base in the nude, although that might please my master."
"Pervert," Sasuke mutter under his breath as the older teen just chuckle.
"Anyways I really have to get back to work. If you need me you know where I am," he said nonchalantly waving his hands as he walked away.
::End of Flashback::
Sasuke couldn't help but smile at the memory. When Orochimaru found out he was angry at Kabuto for taking liberties that didn't concern him. Of course his anger didn't last long for the silver hair teen had a way to talk his way out of it. Ever since that day the young brute just spends most of his time with the medic. It was the start of their odd friendship. In times when he felt lost or even through the brutality of the Sannin's training somehow Kabuto was always there for him. Who would of guess he would find comfort from the older teen. Of course he won't ever admit it out loud.
"Instead of a thorn on your side I have become something more right Kabuto?" He said softly to himself.
The times he spend with the medic he discovered so many things that he would never have guessed. In a way they both found someone that they can trust. In essence Kabuto has become a source of light to the young Uchiha. He wondered what the silver hair medic was doing at this exact moment.
"Sasuke!" He heard the cheerful voice of a certain silver hair medic.
'Speak of the devil.'
Sasuke sat up and glared at the intruder, "Kabuto. How many times do I have to tell you not to barge in like that?" Although he didn't totally hate the older male but sometimes he found him annoying. The medical nin couldn't help but smile at his young companion. "Sorry but I couldn't resist. You always lock yourself up in this room. Are you still moping?" He said poking his head by the door way.
"I don't mope now get out," the younger nin said as he threw a pillow at the medic.
"Aw don't be like that Sasuke. Look what I got you." Sasuke shifted his gaze from the older nin to the box and back to the nin. Kabuto place the heavy box on the bed for the young brute to have a better look at it. "What the heck is this crap?" Sasuke said pulling out an angel wing from the box full of other accessories.
"Hurry up and pick a costume," Kabuto said sitting on the edge of the bed.
"For what purpose would I do that?"
"It's Halloween!" The older teen said enthusiastic as he gave the younger teen one of his brightest smiles.
'Oh and that makes a big difference.' Sasuke shook his head, "I think I'll pass."
"Oh come on Sasuke live a while. I was able to convince Lord Orochimaru to give us the day off and have some fun." Sasuke's right eye began to twitch, "You're the reason why my training was cancel?" He knew something was up when Orochimaru told him that training was postponed for the next day. How the heck will he get any stronger? 'I hate you,' he gave the older teen a glare.
"Oh come on when was the last time you had fun?" Kabuto said as he ruffled the younger nin's hair. "Stop that," the young Sharingan user said as he slapped the offending hand away. Kabuto got up and headed to the door. "Pick a costume so we can go into town for the festival."
'That explains the noise from earlier,' Sasuke thought as he took a glance out the window.
"This holiday only comes once a year Sasuke. I'll be right back. I'm going to get my costume on," he said before leaving the young brute. 'He's going to dress up as well?'
Sasuke crossed his arms and looked away from the offending box. 'Like hell I'll do something as ridiculous as this.' For awhile he sat there until his eyes look down at the box curiously. 'Where the heck did Kabuto get all these stuff anyways?' Sasuke went through everything until his eyes caught sign of something furry. It was a set of cat ears and a tail. The young brute couldn't help but think of Kabuto. He was happy more than usual and a part of him wanted to please the older teen.
'I can't believe I'm doing this. There goes my pride.' He made a face before putting on the dreadful kitty ears.
Moments later there was a knock on the door, "Hey Sasuke are you ready?" Kabuto slowly opened the door and poke his head in. He spotted the Sharingan user in the same position he was before. The young brute was staring out the window and then he glance back at the medical nin.
"Oh how cute you're a cat," he said as walked over to the younger nin.
The silver hair teen wondered if the ears were as soft as it appeared to be. He couldn't help the urge to touch it and so he tugged Sasuke's cat ears. The younger teen couldn't do anything but let Kabuto do as he pleased. He was surprised by the other's action and held a small blush on his face. This didn't go unnoticed by the older teen and he said playfully, "Oh how adorable. Who would have guess an Uchiha could blush."
Sasuke angry pulled away from the other and held a small pout on his face. Kabuto couldn't help but cover his laugh behind his hand, 'I really like messing with Sasuke like this. He's just so cute with those ears.' There really isn't any one around his age in sound and with Sasuke here he was able to act as childish as he could. If only to humor himself and annoyed the other. It was an excuse for the older male to act human.
Sasuke glared at him, "Don't ever associate me with the word cute or adorable ever again. Understand?"
'He always does this to me. It's like he enjoys my suffering. He always puts me in embarrassing situations like the time I was forced to help him make a cake.'
Sasuke eyes dilated in shock and quickly regain his composure. He almost forgot that day and now it was disturbing his mind. As they were making a cake they ended up having a small food fight and ended up covered in flour and icing. The young raven shinobi cleaned his face with the towel that Kabuto gave him. Somehow the silver hair medic noticed the chocolate icing that hang by the bottom corner of Sasuke's mouth.
"You missed a spot," he said as he bend down and licked it off. Sasuke never blush that hard in all his life.
"Whatever," Kabuto said waving his hand carelessly as there was a smile on his feature. The young brute held a small smile as well. It was rare to see Kabuto with a real smile and in return it made him feel happy. His smile turned into a frown in an instant.
"What the heck are you suppose to be?"
The young brute said staring at the older teen. "I'm a witch I thought it was obvious," he said placing his hands on his hips.
"Don't you mean you're just using that excuse to cross dress?"
Sasuke held a faint blush as he checked the other's appearance. Kabuto was wearing a really short dark purplish pink skirt being held by a large black belt with a pumpkin in the middle. He wore long black and magenta stripe stockings and high heels. He wore a belly top shirt similar to what Sai wears but purple. He also had a small dark cape and the typical witch hat. What caught his attention more was the older teen's lips. Purple lip gloss was applied and for some reason he had the urge to kiss the beautiful male before him. Kabuto was dead gorgeous and that made Sasuke's stomach turn.
"I don't know what you mean. Lord Orochimaru thought I look good," he said looking at himself as he did a small spin showing off his sexy body to Sasuke. At this point the pressure was building up and Sasuke had a small nosebleed. 'What the hell Kabuto? You look like some kind of male stripper.' Not like he was complaining if he could he'll gladly take off the other male's clothes.
Sasuke made a face at the sudden thought, 'What the heck am I thinking?'
"Let's just get this over with," Sasuke said walking pass Kabuto. He would rather do anything than keep looking at the witch. Any longer he would literally jump him.
Kabuto smiled and gave the young brute a bag, "Here you can have this one." It held the image of a black cat lying on top of a pumpkin. "We're going trick-or-treating?" He said staring at the other. 'Please tell me you're seriously joking. I mean how old are you? Aren't you like twenty-two?'
"You're not a little kid anymore," the cat said at the beautiful witch before him.
"Age doesn't have anything to do with it. It's going to be fun you'll see," he said as he gave the younger companion a wink. The raven hair cat looked away trying to suppress the blush he suddenly had.
"Come on let's go," the silver hair witch said dragging the reluctant cat by the tail. 'Why am I doing this?' The young brute just shook his head.
"Lord Orochimaru we're off and…" he stopped as he watched his precious master was just sitting there reading a book. "What are you doing?" Kabuto asked as he came over to Orochimaru. Only Kabuto had the nerve to take the book out of his master's hand. He didn't fear what the consequences of his actions could be.
"Kabuto," the way older man said in a warning tone.
"It's Halloween and we decided we're going to have fun so get up and dress up." Orochimaru didn't move a muscle and just look skeptically at his right hand man. "I don't part take in something as ridiculous as Halloween."
"My thoughts exactly," Sasuke said leaning against the wall with his arms cross. The medical nin glared back at other, "You're not helping." The brute shrugged it off. It's not like he cared what the Sannin does as long as he gets to be with Kabuto is all that mattered to him. He was surprise to see what the older teen was doing.
The silver hair medic started touching the older man's long black silk-like hair. "What are you doing?" He questioned his subordinate. "If you can't decide for yourself then I'll have to. You're going to be a traditional Japanese samurai. I'll just put your hair like this." He said as he made a high pony tail and leaving the rest to fall. Orochimaru didn't protest in the least he was currently too busy trying to suppress the urge to touch the other male. He was so close to the medic that he could hear the other's heart beat. If he wanted to he could pull the younger man down and kiss those lips of his. "There all done," Kabuto said smiling cutely down at his master.
Some urges can't be control.
"Kabuto," the Sannin said softly. The silver hair teen was shock when the other male grabbed his wrists and pulled him down into his lap. Sasuke gawk at the scene before him. The medic quickly regained his composure and stared into his master's yellow slanted eyes.
"Yes lord Orochimaru?"
Kabuto couldn't move for both his wrist was still being held tight. They were inches away that they could kiss. The snake lifted the younger nin's chin with his free hand and his lips ever so slowly coming closer to the medic. At this point Sasuke was beyond angry. He was about to take out his sword when they heard a loud explosion coming from outside.
Distracted by the sound Orochimaru let lose his grip on the younger male and he was able to slip away. "What was that?" Sasuke said staring out the window. Kabuto stood next to him, "Perhaps the festival has already started."
He glanced back at the Sannin, "We'll be going now lord Orochimaru. Do remember to finish putting the rest of your costume and we'll see each other at the festival. Let's go Sasuke, Lord Orochimaru needs his privacy," the attractive witch said pulling an angry cat by the tail. Orochimaru just stared at the retrieving forms of Kabuto and Sasuke. The young brute was giving the Sannin a nasty glare. It was as if he wanted to pounce on the older man and claw his eyes out.
The Sannin shook his head, 'It seems little Sasuke is becoming too attach to Kabuto.'
Walking through the forest the young brute was in a foul mood. 'Why am I acting this way? I have to calm down.' He had his arms cross as he followed Kabuto down the dusty trail to town.
"So how far, are you guys anyways?" Sasuke said casually. Kabuto nearly fall over, "What kind of question is that?!"
"It's pretty obvious there's something going on between the two," the younger boy said not meeting the other's eyes. "Sasuke…," Kabuto said looking at the younger teen. They were both engulfed in an awkward silence. The wind blew making the leaves dance around them. "There's nothing like that going on between Lord Orochimaru and myself."
"Liar," Sasuke said staring into Kabuto's dark eyes. 'How the heck do you explain the way he looks at you or the way he touches you? I really hate it when he does that.' Sasuke closed his eyes, 'Look at me I'm acting like I own him.' He opened his eyes to see Kabuto sitting on a nearby boulder.
"He's only fond of me is all," he said looking into Sasuke's eyes which the raven hair shinobi looked away. Kabuto look up at the moon, "It's strange. He rarely pays attention to me. Of course that all change when you came. For some reason your arrival here as spark something in him so I have to blame you for the situation I am in."
"Now you're making things up," Sasuke accused the older male. "You can believe me or not it's not my problem. If Orochimaru desires me then I'll just keep dodging him." The young brute's eyes connected with the silver hair shinobi's own dark ones. "I thought you love him?" A part of him didn't want to hear what the medic was going to say. If he truly loved the Sannin then shouldn't he butt out? "I respect him and admire him. It's completely different from the word love," Kabuto said as he got up and kept on going leaving Sasuke just standing there.
Walking into town they were greeted by loud cheers and wild music. The atmosphere was joyous but not for a certain brute. If it wasn't for Kabuto he wouldn't be here in the first place. A small smile appear on his face, he couldn't help but watch the other.
'Why am I drawn to him?'
They stop in front of a shooting dart booth. "Hey Sasuke how about I challenge you? Let's see which one of us can win a prize?"
"You're kidding right? This would be too easy," Sasuke said picking up a dart. As he was about to throw it he felt something wet inside his ear. The young brute shriek at the odd sensation and missed the target. He touched his abuse ear as he glared at the older nin who was smirking holding up one finger. Somehow Kabuto just gave him a wet willy.
"What the heck was that for?"
"Sorry Sasuke I forgot to tell you that everything goes," he said smirking as he hit the target perfectly. "You're such a cheater," Sasuke said as the medic won a small teddy bear.
"Oh you're just saying that because you're such a sore loser."
Sasuke smirked, 'Is that how you want to play it.'
"How about we play another game, four-eyes?"
Kabuto smiled at the cat, "Sounds like fun, rooster head." This time Kabuto went first and wonder what the young brute was up to. Sasuke just stood there smiling and Kabuto shrug it off. He was about to throw it but was distracted when...he felt soft hands tickling him. He could barely keep hold of the dart that it fell to the ground.
"Sa…haha…suke..haha..stop. I can't…haha…can't breathe." He was able to say through his laughing. He could feel the tears at the corner of his eyes and he accidently fell over pulling Sasuke with him.
"Ow," Sasuke grunted in pain and froze as he stared into Kabuto's eyes. He was on top of the older teen in a very compromising position. This caused a sudden blush appear on the young brute. There was no way he could hide it from the silver hair shinobi. The witch laugh, "Oh how cute. I rarely see you blush. I believe this is the second time."
"Shut up," the cat said looking the other way. "Uh…Sasuke..?"
"What?" Sasuke shifted causing his knee to softly hit against the silver hair teen's groins. This cause the older male to grunt, "Do you mind getting off me?" The young brute quickly got off and looked the other way. 'I can't believe that just happened. How the heck am I going to face him now?'
"Hey Kabuto I… Huh?" Sasuke was surprised to see the witch was nowhere in sight.
"Over here Sasuke," Kabuto wave as he was in front of another booth that was not even near him. 'How the heck did he get there so quickly?' He angrily made his way through the crowd and stood next to the sound nin. He was trying to catch a fish but missed. "I'm sure I'll get the next one," the silver hair teen said smiling at the raven hair cat.
'I've never noticed before but I love his smiles.'
Sasuke couldn't deny it any more. He had a crush on the silver hair teen. He wasn't sure when it happen but the time he spent with the medic made him developed feelings for him. The brute was surprise to see the older teen acting childish. It was like he was a small child, amaze and curious at everything around him. He really like the way how Kabuto's eyes sparkled with joy. Sasuke shook his head.
'I have to stop thinking about him. It's not like he likes me in the same sense. I'm only a friend to him or at least something like that.'
He thanked his stomach for the sudden distraction. 'Is there anything to eat here?' Sasuke walked away and was lure away by the smell of gyros. He didn't watch where he was going and bumped into someone.
"Hey watch where you're going!" he yelled but froze when he saw who it was. Red eyes stare back into dark ones, "Itachi…"
