Shatter the darkness...Even if we can't be the wind that moves the clouds...we have legs and can chase after. We on the ground take our trapped feelings and trash them in the infinite expanse of the sky.

Chapter Two: I Hear A Drumming In The Distance

After a long night of talking, drinking, eating, and watching Naruto laugh and smile that beautiful smile of his, Sasuke had awoken early. Groaning in protest as Ino shook him awake he opened onyx eyes and looked at the dull blond woman.

"Ino...must you awake me so early?" She smiled kindly at him and motioned to Sai who stood in the doorway leaning on Naruto and talking to him. The both of them were laughing and smiling.

Nodding he stood and when his sheets fell to the floor they all stared at him. He wasnt wearing anything but a pair of dark blue short like things(1). Bowing his head to Sai he yawned and stretched.

"Morning brother, Naruto." Walking past them he went into his bathing room while Ino followed the man's clothes in her hand.

Sai stopped laughing and joking with the blond for a moment to smile and bow his head back at his brother. Then turning back to the boy he pointed to his brothers bed.

"You're supposed to make his bed since you are a slave, but he doesnt really think of the slaves like that. So he'll make his own bed, while me and you go help Hidan make breakfast for him." Nodding Naruto followed Sai to the kitchen where Hidan was already making some eggs, bacon, fried pork, and some biscit like patties.

When Sai and Naruto reached the Kitchen Hidan popped out and smiled. He was a very bright and happy man, always smiling and laughing. Naruto got along with the man well, loving the fact that someone else could smile as much as him.

"So Hidan, you need help with breakfast, or do you just want me and 'Ruto(1) to set the table?" Hidan thought for a moment then pointed to the large bowl of fruit.

"Peal, and cut it evenly, then set it on a plate nicely so people will want to eat it. Also pour some milk into glasses the freshly squeezed orange juice, and water. I'll help set the table when we are done." Laughing Naruto and Sai began to help with what they were supposed to.

Back in Sasuke's bathing room he sat there in the hot boiling water his pale skin turning a light pink from the temperature. Leaning his head back his damp hair clung to the sides of his face and neck, some falling back towards the hard marble floors. He had dreams of his mother and father that night, but instead of it ending up in horror like always, Naruto was there as an angel and saved him.

Then before he knew it Sai and Naruto were standing behind him looking down at him. Jumping slightly Sasuke shot his hands down to cover his groin. The water he was in had grown to be bearly warm at all.

"G-get out!" Sai laughed and stepped into the water his silk shorts coming right above his knee's.

"But Suke we want you to come out so we can stare at your beauti-" Sasuke hand smacked Sai in the face then shoved him into Naruto.

"Please take him to the dinning area Naruto then come back here."

"Alright." Naruto then left dragging Sai and telling him that he shouldnt upset the raven like he had done only moments ago.

Once he made sure they were gone Sasuke stood and dried himself off. Slipping on his undergarments he then put on a pair of his own silk shorts. His were dark blue, not black like Sai's.

Just as he slipped on a white shirt Naruto entered his room wearing another Kimono. It was blue with white and orange designs on it. Even though Sasuke wouldnt wear it he had to admit, it made the blond look stunning.

"You wanted me?" Nodding Sasuke began to make his bed.

"I dont want you to be my slave." Cringing Naruto looked away from him not understanding what he had done wrong with in the time span of a day.

"I...u-understand..." Keeping his gaze from Sasuke he just wanted to leave rigth away now.

"You will just be a guest here, infact, you will live here with us, as equals. You, the son of Arashi Uzumaki, should not be a slave." Turning to look at the blond, Sasuke noticed the shocked look on his face. "Did I say something I shouldnt have dobe?"

Growling Naruto shot Sasuke a glare, who inturn sent him a better one right back. "I'm not a dobe, teme."

Walking out of the room Naruto crossed his arms mummbling about Sasuke being a bastard. Even though he knew Naruto would be bent on calling him a bastard, Sasuke was glad he didnt have to deal with thinking of the blond as a slave.

Once Naruto arrived in the dinning area he looked over at Hidan and Sai who were sitting down the food all in place. "Want me to go get everyone?"

"No need blondie, we're already here." Turning to see who had called him 'blondie' he saw Kiba and smiled.

"Hey, really you got everyone?" Nodding the brunette pointed to all the people shuffling into the large area. Hidan had made Sai and Naruto extend the table so everyone would be able to sit down and eat.

When they were all in their seats Sai groaned and put his head in his hand. Sure some people were always late to meals, like Itachi, he was atleast two minutes late. But now Sasuke had caught the being late disorder and was a total of seven minutes late. Hell even Gaara was getting pissed at the soon to be Pharaoh. Sighing he looked accross the table at Naruto.

"Your boyfriends late, go get him." Growling Naruto kicked Sai in the shin under the table. And before Sai could jump foward and tackle the blond, and gracefully ruin breakfast, Sasuke grabbed his shirt and sat him back down.

"Dont do it Sai." Sitting down in his seat he rubbed the back of his head his hair sticking up again. "Pardon my lateness, I got caught up in thinking."

Nodding everyone began to talk again and eat their food now that Sasuke was there. Yet the raven slowly ate his food a distant look in his eyes. He was still thinking about what to do. When he became Pharaoh he needed a bride. But he loathed women. Itachi knew this but would never speak on the matter. He only said 'You have to marry a woman, but that doesnt mean you have to sleep with her brother.' Yea that helped Sasuke a lot.

Sighing Sasuke leaned back and looked over to Neji, the man was a mahatma back in Japan. So the raven enjoyed having the man there. At times Sasuke wished he was from Japan.

"...Sasuke!" Jumping at this he looked to the person who had called his name. It was Hidan who was seated right next to Itachi.

"Hn?" Looking at the man he really wanted to know what he could want.

"Right your gay?" Raising his eyebrow it began to twitch and he looked over at Sai who was slowly trying to creep away.

"Yes, but that wasnt anyone's buisness." Grabbing Sai he then stood and drug the boy out of the room. Poor Sai reached for anything while begging to be spaired.

Laughing Hidan leaned against Itachi and purred whispered things into the older ravens ear making him shift in his seat somewhat. Everyone else just went on eating until they were all done. Once they were they went their seperate way's. Neji and Tenten walked off their daughter follow in tow while playing with sasuke's white cat.

Gaara and Lee went to go take a dip in the small oasis pond that was out in the open area right across the large hall. Konkuro, Temari, and Shikamaru all went to the markets to shop around for things. Sasori and Deidara decided to just go and walk around while talking.

And while all of them did that, Ino, Sakura, Kiba, Naruto, and Sai went to the commons to talk and play games.. While walking there Kiba, Naruto, and Sai laughed and joked, Ino and Sakura just smiled and talked a little.

Staying behind was Sasuke, Itachi, and Hidan.

-----

Naruto punched Sai in the back of the head forcefully knocking the raven to the ground. "God dammit!! That hurt!!"

"Its supposed to!!!" Kiba sat back and laughed watching the two duke it out. It was nightfall now, and they had done everything they could think of all day. So they decided to just beat the crap out of eachother. Thus here was Kiba, Sakura, Ino, Naruto, and Sai in the commons, at night. Sure there was a fire going and giving them light but, others were trying to sleep.

And Sai's constant cry's of pain and screaming werent helping any. One of those who were trying to drift into sleep, was Sasuke. He had his pillow over his head trying to block out the loudness of his little brother and his friend.

Giving up after ten more minutes of constant screams and falling sounds Sasuke stood clad in only a loin cloth and marched himself out to the commons block. His hair was sticking every which way and his normally calm complection was all over the place flashing a new emotion every few seconds. Sure a normal Sasuke was scary but, a tired and groggy one, was much worse.

As the raven reached the commons block what he saw made him trip and stumble into the area. The bright orange fire illuminating his pale complection and turning him into a slight tan color.

Naruto's blue eyes locked onto the raven when he stumbled in. His body was covered in a thin sheet of sweat from rolling around in the night heat under blankets. His hair disheveled, and his eyes burning. The man was more or less breath taking.

"Will you please...shut the fuck up..." He stood straight again sending an icy glare towards his brother and Naruto.

"Jeez Suke, one would think you'd be nicer when your half asleep." Shrugging Sai kicked Naruto in his stomach sending the boy falling to the floor in a pile of pain. "Plus we cant stop, no one has given up yet, but, you are welcome to join the fight and take my place."

Naruto stood and pointed at Sai. "You said he could take your place, you lose." Rubbing his stomach he bent over trying to make the pain go away.

Huffing Sai went and sat down next to Kiba. "Your turn mutt, or it could be Suke's if he feels up to it oh, but wait. He cant fight! His perfect body might get bruised or worse!" Gasping Sai put his hand over his mouth and gave a fake look of horror. "He could break a nail!"

Everyone burst out laughing except for of course, Sasuke. He didnt find it funny at all. Who was his, must be perfect, brother to say that Sasuke of all people couldnt take getting a bruise, or breaking a nail(2).

He would prove to the younger boy that he could get both to happen and he wouldnt cry. So he stepped foward and uncrossed his arms. "I'll fight you."

Silence.

No one moved. They couldnt laugh either. Hell they really didnt know what to make of this. Sasuke, yes he was Sasuke, had just told Naruto he would fight him. Honestly, was the raven that out of it? Naruto was six inches taller for crying out loud! And he was toned, very toned. But Sasuke? Yea this was new to all of them. So they sat there waiting for something to happen.

"Alrighty then...lets go Sasuke..." Naruto laughed and stood there waiting for something to happen. He put his hands up near his face and slowly begin to circle the Uchiha.

Sasuke watched his steps closely and waited his legs spred apart some and his hands waiting at his waist to strike. He saw the blond move foward and lift his leg to kick sasuke in the stomach. Thus the raven quickly grabbed his leg and twisted it causing Naruto to fall onto the ground and yelp in pain.

Standing up and looking at Sasuke the blond noticed the blood dripping from his nose and mouth onto his chest and the dirt below. Laughing lightly Naruto moved in and threw a punch at Sasuke's face, putting all his force and weight in it.

Once the tan fist came with in a few inches of Sasuke's face he ducked and punched the blond right in his side causing him to fall foward. When he did Sasuke pushed his leg out and spun himself so he would sweep kick Naruto. That sent the boy falling onto his side. Once on the ground Naruto held his sides and groaned in pain.

"I g-give..." Sasuke stood up and dusted his legs off while Naruto tried to sit up with out hurting himself more.

Everyone else sat there in shock. No one knew Sasuke could fight like that, even fight at all. They were amazed, and some were turned on. Naruto would have been one of them, if he wasnt beelding and in pain.

Sighing Sasuke held his hand out to Naruto. "Here, come and I'll help you clean yourself up, and I'll find my pain relieving ointment for you."

Complying the blond followed Sasuke leaving everyone else to 'ooo' and 'ahh' at what had just happened.

Reaching Sasuke's room Naruto stood in the doorway looking at the raven haired beauty. "How did you learn to do that teme?"

Turning to Naruto he chuckled and sat down on his bed. Patting the spot next to him he rung out the washing rag he had gotten into the small bowl of water. Walking over the blue eyed boy sat down next to him and blinked as Sasuke leaned foward and gently dapped at the cut on his lip.

While looking at Sasuke's face Naruto noticed the caring look and sheer concentration, he blushed and felt his hands begin to sweat more, and not from the heat around him.

"Well, I didnt get you too bad..." Looking up at Naruto's face he noticed the blush that was coloring his cheeks. His heart began to race and he didnt know why. So he shook it off.

As he stood Naruto gave a quiet and relieved sigh. The closeness was going to get to both of them. And his damn blush just wouldnt go away!

Thats when it got worse. Sasuke came back with the ointment and sat back down. His own face was flushed except for the pink tinting his own cheeks. Then the raven dapped the washing rag in the ointment and placed some on Naruto's lip. It smelt of mint and medicine.

As Sasuke washed away the rest of the blood on him he then dumped some ointment on his hands and looked directly into Naruto's eyes. "Lift your arms up so I can rub it on your sides."

Blushing deeply Naruto shook his head. "No its alright I dont ne-." He was cut off as the raven pushed his arms up with his elbows then went on his way with rubbing the ointment on Naruto's body.

Not wanting to move Naruto just sat there his arms up in the air like he was surrendering or giving up. He didnt know what to do exactly, because he was never in a position like this. 'God...this feels good...that has to be a sin...I mean..a guy shouldnt like when another guy rubs ointment on him. Should he?...His hands are so soft too...shit...now what!? He stopped..and he's looking at me weird!!'

'Now what Sasuke? Kiss him? Tell him he has wonderful skin? What???' Sasuke sat there staring up into Naruto's face tracing every line. Unable to figure out what to do he let his body take over. And he leaned foward...

A/N: (1) There goes Sai with his nick names again. (2) I enjoy to tease Sasuke, because he is Uke sooo I just needed to do that...Even though he did kick the shit out of my little Naru-kun. -cries- I just had to!

And yes, I do realize what I just did was horrible. Very horrible. But if you all give me reviews I'll be forced, happy to, but still somewhat forced to update faster. Much faster. I have to put up a new chap for my other story. So I'll do that tomorrow, and maybe I'll start on another chapter of this one. I most likely will. Because I know you all love this story! So yea Review please.
