Okay, so the story is...that I was feeling a little overwhelmed at work today and this story line just popped out of my brain. Seriously, I typed it all out at work over lunch and finished it up at home.
I have an idea of where this story is going of course, but give it time, as I'm still so new at this. :D
It needs a better title though...
====XOXO===
Sipping slowly on a frosted glass, ice tinkling when the glass was tipped, pink pouty lips parted to allow the sweet liquid to enter the mouth. Adams apple bobbed as the man swallowed the beverage and placed the now empty glass onto the table top. Slender tanned fingers came up and ran through thick blond hair. A sigh was heard. Blue eyes opened and glanced slowly around the room. A frown placed on the pink lips as the eyes appeared to lock on a dark haired figure across the room, sitting at a table with other persons. The dark haired individual continued to converse with the party at the table, obviously not feeling the blue eyes zeroed in on his figure. Blond hair and blue eyes turned to face away from the dark haired figure, a small grunt of displeasure leaving the lips as tanned fingers once again ran through the blond locks. Blue eyes caught the bartender's attention, he raised a finger, signaling for another drink. Said bartender nodded and turned to prepare another beverage of the blonde's request. Resting his head on his hand, the blond drummed his free hand fingertips on the table top. His brows furrowed slightly and lips pinched together, apparently deep in thought. The bartender placed the new refreshed beverage in front of the blond and the tan fingertips ran up the side of the glass slowly, feeling the condensation. A few moments passed, blue eyes opened wide, a small smirk appeared and the blond haired individual sat up straight in his chair. He took a sip of his new drink and promptly stood up. Setting down his unfinished drink, he pulled down on his shirt to smooth the wrinkles, turned on his heel and set forward walking straight towards the dark haired figure across the room with a stern confident look. As he neared the figure, he slowed down to give the party of persons a chance to see that he was approaching, thus not to interrupt any discussions of importance or of confidentiality. After all, said blond wasn't rude. He came to a halt, a few feet from the table and cleared his throat to announce his presence and intention.
The party of three stopped chatting and all turned their heads to look up at the blond who had entered their space. The red haired woman pushed her eye glasses towards her nose and gave a flirty smile. The orange haired man continued to stare but gave a small smile. The black haired individual gave an impassive look and leaned back on his chair, crossing his arms and coal coloured eyes focused on the blond man standing before the table.
"Good evening," the blond spoke and clasped his hands together in front of himself, "my name is Naruto Uzumaki and I would like to know if I could join your party." He finished the sentence off with a small bow.
Coal eyes narrowed, a small frown played upon the dark haired man, though he said nothing in response.
"HA!" Responded the red haired woman, her outburst a shock to the blond, who quickly stood up, eyes wide with surprise. "Well isn't that just adorable of you! Not every day a gentleman such as you shows up, eh Jugo?" She gives the large orange haired a tap with the back of her hand on his arm, he hums a noise and nods his head. The dark haired man gives a short snort in response.
Naruto sports a smile at the group of three. He still stands still, as he has not been invited to join just yet.
"It's a pleasure Naruto. I'm Karin, my colleagues here are Jugo," she points to the large orange haired man who nods his head towards Naruto, "and this quiet one is Sasuke." Karin points her finger across the table at the dark haired man. Sasuke swats at Karin's finger, she pulls it back with a pout. "Ouch Sasuke, that wasn't nice!" she whines with obvious fake hurt, while cradling her finger.
"Don't point, its rude," Sasuke spoke sharply at Karin. He leans back in his chair and his eyes look up again at Naruto. Sasuke holds his hand out, palm up, an open invitation to take a seat at their table.
Naruto smiles more and grabs a nearby chair and slides it up to the table of three. "Thank you for having me! I'm new to the area and attempting to find persons that may know the city," he explains while waving his hands around to show emphasis to the surrounding area.
"Excellent Naruto!" Karin exclaims as she knocks her knuckles on the table, "tell us about what brings you to our fair city!"
"Moved here for employment purposes. Started at a small publishing firm downtown, Freelance Fox, enjoying my position very much, and the CEO is… well interesting," Naruto gives a chuckle, "but other than that, I have heard of this city having great history and would like to explore, you know, by checking out the culture and character of the area."
"Well, I haven't been here that long, but I certainly can assist in site seeing. I can show you what I know and perhaps we can go together to areas that I have not been to yet?" Karin waggled her eyebrows at Naruto and then laughed at her antics. Naruto coughed, letting out a nervous laugh, and he appeared to be shocked at her sense of humour.
Jugo rolled his eyes and wrapped his large hands around his bottle of beer. "Karin, don't scare the new guy." Jugo gave Naruto an apologetic look. Karin huffed and folded her arms. "Pleasure to meet you Naruto, I haven't been in the area that long either, but I am sure we could share ideas on where to visit," Jugo responded with a smile.
Naruto smiled at Jugo and then turned to face Sasuke. "How about you Sasuke, what's your story?" Naruto threw a smile at Sasuke.
Sasuke leant forward, resting his elbows on the table and giving a focused stare at Naruto. "Hn, I'm sure there are places that may interest you, though I'm certainly too busy to play tour guide for a newb," he clipped off and then glared at Karin. Karin rolled her eyes.
Naruto's lip formed a slight frown. His blue eyes appeared shocked at such an apparent irritated attitude. He was only asking for fucks sakes! Who did this guy think he was? Naruto decided he didn't care for this Sasuke's attitude, no matter how slick he looked. Naruto narrowed his eyes at Sasuke and gave a quiet snort. He then turned to face Karin and Jugo, "How about we exchanged numbers? That way we can chat later about times we can perhaps meet up?" Naruto gave a hopeful smile.
Karin smiled at Naruto, "Sure can do! I'm sure Jugo and I can come up with some ideas, who knows what can happen, we can meet up for something to eat sometime and discuss what you've seen and what not!" Karin whipped out her cell phone.
"Karin," Sasuke spoke lowly and what sounded like a warning tone. He stared at her with his coal black eyes, his face appeared to be giving an annoyed expression. His hands were clenched slightly. Karin gave a glare back at Sasuke then smiled back at Naruto.
Naruto watched the exchange. Like seriously, what was this guy's problem? Maybe Sasuke is her boyfriend? "Look, I'm not looking to get between you two if you are an item? Just looking to meet…" Naruto spoke out, trying to defuse the tension between the two.
"It's not your business, dobe," Sasuke growled out.
"What the hell you call me you…you…teme!" Naruto spat out suddenly, his hands slapping the table. Naruto glared his blue eyes at Sasuke. "Look dude, I don't know what's up your ass, didn't your parents teach you respect?!" Naruto grumbled out, almost growling out the words, blatantly showing his disapproval regarding Sasuke's behaviour.
"Watch it…dobe, you have NO idea who you're dealing with," Sasuke spoke through gritted teeth back at Naruto. His black eyes flaring with anger.
Naruto blinked his eyes and drew back slightly. He could have sworn Sasuke's eyes flashed red for a second. Naruto shook his head, deciding that his temper had already gotten the best of him, time to act like the better man here he told himself. Naruto took a breath and looked over at Karin and Jugo. Both appeared frozen at the sudden heated interaction between the two. Karin and Jugo glanced at each other briefly, their eyes showing concern. "Oh, sorry," Naruto mumbled softly and glanced down at his hands as he brought them down to his lap, "I..I was out of line there…I apologize for the outburst." Naruto continued to look down at his lap and he let out a big sigh as nobody responded to his apology. "I can see that this isn't going to work, again, sorry to bother you." And with that Naruto got up from his seat and headed for the exit.
The trio watched Naruto walk away to the door and Karin shot a glare at Sasuke. "What the hell Sasuke!?" she hissed at him and quickly got up from her chair, "I don't know what the fuck just got into you then, but I'm done tonight," she spit out and made her way to the exit, following Naruto. Jugo just watched her go and then looked over at Sasuke, showing him slight disappointment in his face.
Sasuke watched Karin head out of the pub and shot a look at Jugo. "What? Got something to add?" Sasuke challenged Jugo. Jugo did not respond, he just shook his head and took a swallow of his drink. "Hn, idiot," Sasuke sat back and grabbed his own drink, finishing it off before signaling for a refill.
Karin ran outside the door, glancing both ways looking for Naruto. She noticed him with his hands shoved in his pockets, shoulders slumped and head bowed down as he shuffled his way down the block. She trotted after him, "Naruto! Wait!" He didn't acknowledge her shouting and just kept shuffling away from her. "Dammit Naruto, just hold on!" she called again, letting the frustration be heard in her voice. She hated when people didn't listen! She caught up with him and Naruto did stop but didn't turn around. He continued to look at the sidewalk, looking like a pity party. "Hey Naruto, I'm so sorry about him, he can be such a jerk sometimes!" Karin touched Naruto's shoulder, "but you know I still want to get to know you! Sasuke can't tell me who I can or cannot be friends with!" Naruto flinched slightly at the touch but corrected himself quickly as he looked up at Karin with his big blue eyes that appeared watery, but no tears showed. Karin was taken aback, wow, talk about sensitive!
"A-are you…sure Karin?" Naruto whispered out, "I get it if your boyfriend doesn't want you to hang around other…"
"Oh pish Naruto!" Karin cut him off, "Sasuke and I are SO not that way at all! We know each other, and have never, well not that I wouldn't mind, cause he is kinda hot and all that…but ha ha ha! - that's not important! Sasuke and I are not an item. He's a royal jerk sometimes, yes, but that's just kind of who he is!" Karin half laughed and half tried to explain in a serious tone. She laid out a big smile, pushing her glasses up her nose and tilting her head. "So, if it is alright with you, I would still like to exchange numbers?" Karin held up her phone, waving it back and forth, while her green eyes watched Naruto's expressions carefully.
Naruto pinched his lips and looked away, thinking it over. If they weren't an item, and Sasuke was kind of an ass tonight, and Karin appeared legit, shouldn't hurt to at least befriend one person in this city right? Naruto looked up at Karin's green eyes. He quickly took in a breath and placed a grin on his face. "Okay!" And he dug into his pocket for his phone. After they exchanged numbers, Karin promised to text him soon and hailed a cab. Naruto felt better, as he continued down the street, noting that it was getting late. The chill had come, for winter was 'just around the corner' and the last train would most likely be running soon. He hurried his step, his breath puffing out in white clouds as he checked his phone for the time. Shit! He thought and picked up his step. Naruto gave out an "urk!" when something reached out from an alley and pulled him quickly into the darkness.
Naruto was so surprised, he gasped in a breath of air, as he felt his body being harshly pulled into the dark against his will. "HE-mmph!" Naruto tried to call out, but found his mouth covered instantly by what felt like a hand, his one arm quickly bent up high behind his back, his eyelids squeezed out a tear with the sharp pain as his arm was bent in a position it wasn't meant to be in. He felt a body mass push his chest into a wet cold wall, the mass behind him pushing hard into his back, his other arm pinned between his body and wall. Naruto shook his head hard, trying to yell against the palm that was keeping him silent, his nostrils flaring, his eyes opening wide in panic. He thrashed his torso around, trying to break free of the solid hold on his body, only to have his body pulled back and slammed back into the wall. His forehead met the brick this time, Naruto saw flashes of light and moaned as the dizziness overwhelmed him.
"Now now little one…" Naruto heard a harsh growl like whisper in his ear, "I just want to play a little bit with you..." Naruto heard a raspy chuckle. Naruto's breath blew heavily through his nostrils as he tried to blink away the pain and dizziness in his head. A hand grabbed the hair at the back of his head and yanked his head back hard. Naruto winced, and a whimper escaped through his nose. His eyes squeezed shut again as the onslaught of pain was felt through his scalp and neck from the force of the pull. "My…but aren't you even prettier up close." Naruto felt the lips of the throaty voice against his cheek. He shuddered uncontrollably, his mind panicking from the scenarios going through his mind. Oh my god I'm gonna die… Was Naruto's thoughts as he felt the heated breath of his attacker on his neck. "You smell so good little one…I wonder if you taste as good as you smell." Naruto felt a wet appendage run up his throat. Naruto let out a whimper as he kept his eyes closed, his body shaking in fear. The hand in hair forced his forehead to hit the brick wall again, Naruto shrieked through his covered mouth, and felt the edges of his consciousness waver. No no no! Please! Naruto begged in his mind. "There's a good little one," the voice whispered harshly, "I bet you have something amazing under here…" Naruto felt his shirt being pulled from his pants and a thick calloused hand running across his stomach and chest. Sharp nails dragged across the area, Naruto's eyes opened wide and he tried to scream again through the hand covering his mouth, only to buckle as his head screamed in pain and darkness coloured the corners of his vision. The body pinned him hard against the brick wall again, the calloused hand scraped again across his abdomen and he felt the undeniable hard feeling of a man's package, pressed hard against his back end. Naruto froze, knowing what this could end up as. Tears prickled his eyes as his arm was wretched up hard again, he screamed through his nose and tried to stand higher on his toes to relieve the pain but to no avail. "Such a tasty little one, so clean, so pretty…" Naruto felt the wet appendage on his neck again, the harsh ruts of his captor's hard cock pushing against him, squashing him into the brick wall. He whimpered as he felt teeth scrape his neck and the thick fingers pinch his nipples and scratch his torso. "That's is little one, cry for me…" the heated breath whispered into his neck through his teeth, sounding breathy as the voice continued to rut against him.
A low growl rose from the darkness and the captor stopped suddenly. Naruto's tears fell down his cheeks as his breathing pushed hard through his nostrils. The heated breath left Naruto's neck and Naruto could feel his captor turn slightly to the sound. The growl grew louder, deeper and closer. Naruto felt himself being ripped away from the wall, his back now against his captor's chest and facing into the dark alley. "He's MINE!" the captor yelled into the darkness. Naruto's eyes widened, as he felt his captor tighten his grip on his mouth, crushing his head into his captor's shoulder and still gripping his wrist and twisting his arm behind his back. Naruto felt his knees buckle as tremors racked his body. "I told you HE'S MINE! I warn you! Back off or I'll ruin him so nobody can have him!" A growl was heard again, this time with red dots glowing in a shadowed area, looking like - eyes? - focused on the two of them. Naruto's eyes widened, his breathing accelerated, his legs couldn't hold him up anymore as he sagged, but his captor gripped his mouth so hard, Naruto was now being held up by his head. He muffled out a cry as his arm didn't go down with him and stayed in his captor's grasp.
Naruto flopped to the ground, unable to support his fall, his arm slammed hard against the asphalt alley, his head bouncing from the impact and his body rolled at an awkward angle to a stop. Naruto's mouth opened but no sound came out. The breath knocked hard out of him, the blow causing him to black in and out of consciousness, Naruto found himself hyperventilating from the onslaught of agonizing pain. He managed to glace at his captor, whose eyes were bulged wide open, his mouth hanging slack, his body frozen as if it was hovering. A black cloaked figure was standing behind his captor, one hand on the shoulder and the other hand flat against his captor's chest. Naruto blinked away the darkness that threatened to overtake his sight. A growl and the sound of padded feet walking through puddles was heard behind him. The cloaked figure released the captor and it fell like a bag of rice to the alley floor, his head making a sickening crunch noise as it connected. "Filth," the cloaked figure breathed out sharply. Naruto chocked on air as he struggled to keep his eyes open on the figure, his body convulsing as he struggled to breathe. He felt a nudge to his back by something solid yet soft and the sound of a huff. The cloaked figure faced Naruto as the darkness began to win, he wheezed out breaths as he felt his lungs compress tight, panic overtaking his senses. The figure knelt close and brought a hand to Naruto's forehead, "sleep" a silky voice spoke, and darkness consumed him.
