Curiosity

Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. They really make me happy. I was shocked by how many there were. I guess this story might get more attention than I originally thought it would. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

Chapter Notation: I decided to use a new main "villain" for this story. Lol, I really do pick on Danzo and Orochimaru too much. He may or may not be OOC. Sasuke is also in deep denial.

Viewers' Choice: Let me know if you prefer this unexpected choice to be sympathetic/redeemable "villain" or a bad guy, that everyone loves to hate. I kept him somewhat neutral in this chapter.

Chapter 2

Sasuke's eyes widen as he saw that Suigetsu was about to kiss him. He was so stunned that Suigetsu had the balls to pin him to the wall, that he was frozen in shock.

Yes, that was the reason why he didn't dodge, wiggle out of Suigetsu's hold, or kick the other man in the nuts for daring to try this. It wasn't that he WANTED him to kiss him. No, he was just in shock. Yes, that was it.

"Just relax." Suigetsu says as he claims Sasuke's mouth with his own.

Sasuke had been kissed before. He had done the kissing in a lot of cases. But it had never been like this. This was…electric.

Suigetsu's lips were rougher than a woman's, but equally as warm. Sasuke found that he liked the slight hint of roughness to the otherwise gentle kiss. He could feel his toes curling in pleasure and his heart was racing. It was all consuming, but in way that felt painfully good. Deciding that he had an excuse, he cautiously kisses back.

"Nhh." He finds himself moaning into the kiss, as this was apparently all the permission that Suigetsu needed.

The other man deepens it. Gone was the gentle, seductive coaxing. It'd been replaced by something far more primal. Suigetsu's tongue was practically plundering his mouth and Sasuke liked it. None of his other lovers had ever dared to be this aggressive with him.

The fact that he liked it, disturbed him. He really needed to end the kiss now. He was NOT gay.

Not that he had a problem with gay people. He just wasn't. He was 23 freaking years old. If he was gay, he would have known it by now. Wouldn't he?

"I think that's enough practice for now." Sasuke says quickly.

"Yeah. Well I guess that answers that question." Suigetsu says happily and Sasuke looks at him suspiciously.

"That answers what question?" He asks and was almost afraid of whatever answer his partner might come up with.

Suigetsu considers lying. But he knew Sasuke would see through any bullshitting. That's part of the reason why he was such a good cop. Well that and he really knew how to handle a gun. (Which made him wonder how well he'd handle another type of gun). Normally, it was a good thing, but right now it was annoying.

"Well I asked if you liked men, women, or both. You never really gave me a specific answer. Those sexy moans of yours, did it for you though. You're gay." Suigetsu says.

"I am NOT gay." Sasuke growls at him and his eyes flash ruby red in a dangerous fashion.

Suigetsu didn't know why. He doubted even Sasuke really knew why. But for some reason, whenever Sasuke got worked up about something, his eyes changed color. They'd go from that mysterious obsidian black to a ethereal ruby red.

The first time that his eyes had changed color like that, Suigetsu had panicked. He thought Sasuke's blood vessels in his eyes had ruptured or something. But Sasuke had assured him that it was just something that happened sometimes.

It ran in his family. He'd gotten all sorts of tests done on his eyes, but not a single doctor could find anything wrong. So he had just leaned to live with it. (Sasuke claimed it was great for when Halloween rolled around).

"Well then you deserve an Oscar. You are in the wrong field. You should have been an actor if you are able to fake being turned on that well." He says.

"FUCK OFF!" Sasuke snarls at him.

Yeah, he was gay. He also happened to be completely in the closet. Suigetsu wasn't even sure if Sasuke knew that he liked men consciously yet.

Damn. That was a little annoying. Still he could work with this. Sasuke just needed a little coaxing. He probably should stop pissing the other man off, if he ever wanted to hear those gorgeous moans again though.

"Sasuke, relax before you burst a blood vessel or something. Alright. Alright. If you say you're straight, I believe you. I was just teasing you. I had too many drinks while out on my break. You know how I say stupid shit when I'm drunk." Suigetsu says.

"Yeah. You do say a lot of crazy shit when you are drunk." Sasuke mutters and Suigetsu watches him for a few tense seconds before his eyes fade back to black.

"Yeah. By the way, no more than two drinks for you at the club." He says.

"Yeah. I know. I told you that I was a light drinker, but you goaded me into it last time." Sasuke mutters and Suigetsu nods.

"Come on. Sun's going down. We'll want to get in there early, if we don't want to wait in line all day." He says and heads out to the car, with Sasuke following him.


A few minutes later they arrive at the club. Sasuke blinks. It looked more like a mansion than a nightclub. This place was huge. There was already a line forming. Fortunately, they manage to get in the front of it.

It didn't take long for Sasuke and Suigetsu to get inside. Sasuke sits down at the bar, figuring that would give them the best view of the place. Suigetsu curses.

"What's wrong?" His partner asks him.

"Forgot my wallet. I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere. This place is huge. I might not find you, if you do." The white haired man says as he heads back to the car.

Sasuke nods. He orders himself a sex on the beach. He sips it very slowly. As much as it hurt his masculine pride to admit, Sasuke knew that he was a lightweight when it came to anything alcoholic. His entire family was.

"So do you just like the drink or do you enjoy the literal meaning as well?" Sasuke hears someone say.

"You aren't the subtle type, are you?" Sasuke asks with some amusement and looks to see who was hitting on him.

He wasn't gay. But he guessed if he was, he probably would have considered the other man to be attractive. He was tall and had short dark hair. His skin was even fairer than Sasuke's, which was saying something. The Uchiha also estimated that he was also around his own age.

He also clearly wasn't shy, judging the by fact his entire midriff was exposed. The man was wearing a black leather top and white leather pants. Yeah, he wasn't leaving much to the imagination.

"Not really. Life's too short to waste time. Why not go for what you want? I'm Sai by the way." He says, introducing himself.

"I'm Sasuke. Sorry to disappoint you, but you'll have to try your luck elsewhere tonight. I'm not here alone." He says and turns his attention back to his drink.

"He's not worth your time." Sai says simply.

Sasuke raises an eyebrow. Sai didn't even know who the Hell he'd come with. What right did he have to put down a stranger like that?

"What makes you say that?" Sasuke demands in a disturbingly defensively tone.

"He left you all alone, wearing that. I'd never make that mistake if you were mine." He continues pleasantly.

"He's my boyfriend, not my slave owner. I don't belong to anyone. Got it?" Sasuke asks and twitches because that comment got under his skin in a big way.

"If you were mine." What fuck kind of freak was that guy? People didn't own people. (Or at least they shouldn't). Just because he was sleeping with someone, didn't mean that he was their freaking pet that needed to be watched in case someone got any ideas.

Sai sighs. It seemed that had been the wrong thing to say. Hmm he had taken the beautiful man to be the type who preferred to be cherished by his partner. A natural submissive.

A submissive with a wonderfully sculpted body. He really liked judging the way Sasuke's leather pants and shirt clung to his lean, muscular frame. It looked like he might have been mistaken. Maybe he was actually a Dominant.

"My apologies. You are a Dominant?" He asks.

"A what?!" Sasuke demands.

"Do you prefer to take the reins or be pampered?" The other man asked bluntly and Sasuke's eyes bled red.

That was it. He was going to kick this pervert's ass into next week. At the moment, he didn't care if it blew his cover. He wasn't going to tolerate some stranger talking to him like that.

"Found my wallet. Uh oh. Red eyes. What the Hell is going on here?" Suigetsu demands, once he made his way back to Sasuke's side.

"Your eyes just changed color!" Sai says.

"Yeah, about that. My boyfriend's eyes tend to change color when he gets pissed off. So what the fuck did you do?" Suigetsu growls at him.

Sasuke blinks. Oh for goodness sakes. Somehow he had become the chick in this strange situation. He was NOT a damsel in distress. Alright, he was a little distressed because Sai asking about his sexual preferences ten minutes after they met, was creepy as fuck. But honestly…

"Oh so you're the idiot. You're the one that left his fine ass alone when he's dressed like a cocktease. You sure you want him? I prefer to be the Dominant, but for someone like you…I can make an exception. He's clearly too stupid to be anything more than a toy, if he left you alone." Sai says cheerfully.

"Yeah, Sasuke. I completely understand the red eyes now." Suigetsu mutters as he slugs the other man.

"Yeah, I left him alone for five freaking minutes to find my wallet. I didn't know some stupid slut was going to throw himself at him that quickly. Sasuke, you okay?" Suigetsu asks.

Sasuke blinks. He couldn't believe that just happened. Suigetsu had just hit a guy for hitting on him. He knew they were undercover and Sai had it coming, but still. It was so surreal.

"I'm fine and I don't need you to fight my battles for me." He states and crosses his arms, looking away from him.

"I wasn't fighting your battles for you. I know you are perfectly capable of handling yourself. I was just making it easier. Come on, Baby. Don't like that." Suigetsu says as he turns his back on Sai and walks over to Sasuke.

"Don't call me baby. It's stupid." Sasuke mutters and keeps his back towards his "Lover."

He couldn't believe this. Sasuke was sulking. Somehow the Japanese man made even sulking look…sexy.

"It's not nice to hit people." Sai says and he pulls out a knife.

Sasuke saw the light reflect off the blade out of the corner of his eye. Shit! He whirls around quickly slams his foot into the other man's chest. In a flash, Sasuke was on top of him. Sasuke slammed his fist into his face.

Sai wasn't a pushover. He managed to reverse Sasuke's pin. He was now on top of him and wielding the knife. By this time, there were lots of bystanders watching in horror.

"GET THE OFF OF HIM!" Suigetsu says and slams into Sai's side, shoving him off of Sasuke.

By this point, the bouncers were rushing over. They quickly get between the three. It was clear that they were trying to figure out who had started it.

"I saw it. The skinny one was hitting on the one in the white shirt. Goaded the other one into punching him. Then he pulled a knife like a sissy. So the white shirt guy attacked." The bartender explains.

The bouncers nod and start dragging Sai off. Sasuke noted with a smug satisfaction, that he had a lot more bruises than Sasuke did. Ha! See? He wasn't a damsel in distress. He could handle himself. Hmpf.

"If you two want to get cleaned up in the VIP room, that's fine with me." A man says.

Sasuke looks. The man looked like he was in his mid to late forties. He had light red, short spiky hair. His eyes were pitch black. He was also a very large man, easily over 200 pounds of solid muscle. Yeah, he was probably somewhere in his 40's, but it was a damn good forty something.

"Thanks! Yeah that'd be good. You wouldn't happen to have a first aid kit or a steak we could use for Sasuke's eyes, would you?" Suigetsu asks.

"I have both. Come, I'll show you to the room and then go get it. I am deeply sorry about this. If his employer wasn't a good customer, I would have kicked him out a long time ago. Sai has always been on the outrageous side. But I've never seen him get violent before." He says and leads the men to a VIP room.

"It's not your fault that he's a prick." Sasuke says and the other man chuckles, heading off.


Suigetsu gestures for Sasuke to sit down on the couch. Surprisingly, he does without protest. The white haired men pulls him into his lap to get a closer look at Sasuke's face. He winced. Yeah, that black eye was going to be painful as fuck.

"Thanks for having my back. Sick fucker actually pulled a knife on me." Suigetsu says and smiles when Rasa comes back with the first aid kit and the steak.

"Here this will help." He says and places it over Sasuke's swollen eye.

"Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you boys. I don't want my club to get a reputation for being dangerous. That would be bad for business. Really, this almost never happens." Rasa says.

"Thanks. This should be good. It was really nice of you to let us use the VIP room." Sasuke says and Rasa nods, before heading off.

Suigetsu nods and focuses on the first aid kit. Thankfully, the black eye was the worst of Sasuke's injuries. But that split lip didn't look so hot either.

"So much for keeping a low profile and any time. That's what partners do. They watch each other's backs." Sasuke says with a heavy sigh.

"Yeah. I probably kinda asked for something stupid like this to happen though. I knew that people were going to hit on you when you were wearing leather like that. Just figured it'd be good if the criminals thought you were hot. An easier in, you know?" He asks.

Sasuke shrugs. He couldn't really argue with that logic. It wasn't like he hadn't used his looks to get his way on undercover missions before. This was just a little different because it was on men. Though he supposed in a way it was flattering to know that both genders found him attractive. Alright, so he might have been a little vain. Who wasn't?

"You're right. Well I suppose them knowing we can hold our own in a fight, is just as good." Sasuke offers.

"Glad you are being reasonable about this. You were being a little prissy about me stepping in before. I know you are a badass, but you're supposed to be my lover here. It's expected that I'd stick up for you." The white haired man continues.

"I know. I just don't really want to be viewed as the damsel in distress. It pissed me off." The dark haired man replies with a shrug.

Suigetsu shakes his head. He gets behind Sasuke and pulls him into his lap. Sasuke tries to wiggle out of his lap, but the violet eyed man manages to keep a firm grasp on him.

"Relax. Your neck just looks really stiff. You keep tilting it to the side." Suigetsu says.

"Oh. How are you going to fix that?" He asks.

"Massage. Besides, it looks good for the cameras." The other man replies as he begins rubbing Sasuke's shoulders.

Sasuke's eyes widen. Shit! Cameras?! There were cameras in this room? He would have thought the VIP rooms would garner some more privacy. Shit!

"Relax. They are only visual. They can't tell what we are saying, only what we are doing." He explains.

Sasuke sighs in relief at the knowledge that they hadn't blown their cover. He decides to let Suigetsu give him a neck massage. He'd already let the man kiss him. He'd just bit his tongue to keep from moaning.

Sasuke's spot had always been his neck. Really, it was the easiest way to get him going. He had tried to get his lovers to notice that. Most hadn't. So he would kiss, nip, suck, or do whatever he could to THEIR neck. Maybe they'd return the favor. It just felt weird to actually ask a lover to touch his neck during sex. So he hadn't.

"So you have to make it look convincing. Make them think that you are the worried boyfriend." Sasuke mutters and Suigetsu nods.

"Yeah." Suigetsu agrees and begins to massage his neck.

Sasuke bites his tongue hard. He was really trying to stifle his moans. Suigetsu had already heard him moan into the kiss. He didn't need the other man to hear him moaning from a simple neck massage.

It was hard though. God, that felt good. He closes his eyes in pleasure and leans back into the other man.

"Damn you are tightly wound. Shocked you weren't seeing a doctor for this. What are you so stressed out about?" Suigetsu whispers into his ear and continues the massage.

He smiles when he saw Sasuke lean back into him. Clearly, he was enjoying the attention. The dark haired man might not admit it verbally, but his body language was loud and clear.

"It's hard sometimes. I'm still adjusting to being in the city. I'm the new guy on the force. Family issues. Itachi and my dad have had a major falling out. I don't know over what though. Neither of them will tell me. Mother is crying all the time about it." He sighs.

"Itachi is your brother, right?" Suigetsu asks, shocked but pleased that Sasuke was much more open once he was getting a massage.

"Yeah." Sasuke confirms and because he had to let go of his tongue long enough to speak, he couldn't hide his moan of pleasure.

Good. So fucking good. Suigetsu hands were warm and strong against his skin. He was being gentle, yet firm. He had seen Suigetsu punch a guy straight into a wall before and leave a Hell of a dent. The man could easily bench 300 pounds. So yeah, he knew that he was strong and being purposely gentle. Which for some odd reason was a turn on.

He was not gay. He was not gay. His neck was just sensitive. That was it. At least he knew they were putting on a damn good show for the cameras. So that was a plus.

"Older or younger? Is he your only sibling?' Suigetsu asks, making conversation.

"Older. He's five years older. Yeah." Sasuke says and decides fuck it.

If Suigetsu asked him about the moaning, he'd just lie. He'd say he had only done it to make it look more convincing. Yeah, he could bullshit his way out of it.

"You close?" He asks.

"Yeah. We used to be. I don't know what happened in the last couple years though. I guess he pulled away from me, because he didn't want to damage my relationship with father. What about you? Do you have any siblings?" Sasuke inquires.

"Yep. One older brother. We're really close. He knows all my dirty little secrets. Fortunately for me, he's even more of a vault than you are." The other cop says.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sasuke demands.

"It means you don't open up easily. Had to get you drunk to tell me anything. You're honest. But you are a very private person." Suigetsu explains.

"Oh. I can't really disagree with that assessment." He states with a shrug.

Suigetsu nods and continues kneading out the kinks in his partner's neck. He smirks, enjoying when he heard those glorious moans. The kind that made him want to turn Sasuke around, kiss him, and pin him against the couch.

Those moans were lethal. They made him wonder how quick he could get Sasuke and himself undressed. Because the sooner, the better in his mind. Yeah, about two minutes was all that he had the patience for. Those pants were probably going to be difficult to get off. They looked hot as Hell, but it'd be hard to get them off. Damn.


Rasa watches them from his security room. He had never seen either man before, but he couldn't doubt the image was stunning. The black and white contrasted beautifully. It was clear they were rather long term partners.

The way that the white haired one had gotten jealous. The other one had been willing to risk getting stabbed for his lover. Now they were in the VIP room and seeming to all the world like a contented pair of lovers.

"Though I suppose the image would be even more erotic, if the poor boy didn't have a steak over his black eye." He muses.

These men were clearly trained fighters. Perhaps they had a military background? He'd watch them closely. Hopefully, they would come back and become regulars.

If they became regulars and they didn't send up any red flags, he might recruit them. Rasa was a jack of all trades. He ran the night club and the drug ring.

"Hey, Boss… what do you want to do about Sai?" One of the bouncers asks him.

"Call Danzo. I need talk to him about his underling's behavior." He mutters.

The other man nods. He quickly heads off to call Danzo. Rasa detested Danzo, but he knew the man kept his house in order. He'd want to know about Sai stepping out of Line.

ROOTS was successful because they were so easily able to blend into the background. Picking fights like that, was not smart for a member of an organization that only thrived because of stealth. Sai knew that. Which is why it surprised him that he had been willing to go so far for a pretty face.

Granted, it was an exceptionally pretty face. But still. Sai was usually smarter than this. Oh well. It was no skin off his nose, how Danzo decided to punish him.

"Hmm well they seem to be getting along rather well. I suppose should turn off the monitor to prevent getting a full show." He says with a chuckle and does exactly that.

He was bisexual. Since the death of his beloved wife, he had preferred men. Rasa was a bit of a voyeur. But he had his standards. He wouldn't watch a couple without their consent. A man had to have some standards, after all.

"Looks like the fun may just be beginning." He muses.
