Chapter 4

Staring at the starlit sky he couldn't help but smile, Zabuza was always so ready and willing to kill anything. It was the true reason he loved him… Looking at the man who was sleeping on the floor he went near him. Zabuza was hard to approach when asleep being the mercenary he was. And one of the seven deadly knights of course he would be.

"Haku, when are you going to take off that stupid mask? You know it freaks me out…" Haku smiled again taking the mask off as his master commanded. His face was beautiful for any person that would ever meet him. The only person who could hold a face like his was a woman's but alas he was a male. It was usually used to help him in disguise just like the mask that was now in his hands. Haku smiled with deep brown eyes like the bark of the trees that surrounded the both of them. His hair was always kept in a neat bun in the back of his head but Zabuza always would take it out letting his long black hair trail down his back. Haku was young… about as young as the boy Zabuza was fighting but was 19 instead of 16.

Leaning down he placed a kiss on Zabuza's forehead, "Forgive me Master Zabuza, but the mask reminds me of whom and what I am." Zabuza smirked at him and stroked Haku's face. "And that would be?"

Haku's eyes were dark like the black night sky and hand a twinkle of evil hinted in them, "I am Haku the White knight…"

Kyuubi and Arashi came home that knight to see Naruto asleep on the doorstep, Arashi ran to him and saw him bleeding from only his arm but the cut was long since healed. Brushing strands out of Naruto's hair the younger boy woke up to see his mother smiling at him. "Are you alright Naruto?"

Naruto nodded at him and stared at his arm, "Damnit…"

Arashi glared at the blood, "Did Sasuke do this to you?" Naruto could sense the anger and malice in his mother's voice and Naruto shook his hands. "No, no, no! Sasuke didn't do this it was some damn mercenary named Zabuza…"

Arashi's eyes widened, "You couldn't possibly mean Zabuza the blue?" Naruto nodded and Arashi looked away, "How do you know him Obasan?"

"I fought against him a long time ago it was when the seven deadly knights were after me. It was right after I killed the white knight, Zabuza the blue showed up… He was tough to fight with and I almost lost my life… But thanks to a certain fox demon I was saved and Zabuza was defeated. I just didn't know that he was still alive…" Naruto looked towards his father who leaned down to pick him up.

"Father, who are the seven deadly knights?" Kyuubi looked towards his son that was in his arms angrily. But knowing that it would let his child rest more he told him, "The seven deadly knights are like sins. I was once a part of them, wrath was mine. Wrath is always the red or crimson knight. There are seven deadly sins: pride-black, envy-green, greed-white, sloth-blue, lust-purple, and wrath-red."

Walking inside he began talking again, "Being the crimson knight or red I was known as the sin of wrath."

"And isn't that the truth?" Arashi joked and received a glare from his spouse. "Anyways… As a deadly sin I was on a quest to destroy the hunter society."

"What?"

Kyuubi glared, "I don't wish to talk about them… Now it's best that you go to sleep fast tonight." Naruto nodded and closed his eyes while being carried up the stairs by his father.

Placing Naruto in bed he looked at him thinking: How could I lose my only son so fast?

Walking into the room Arashi placed his head between Kyuubi's shoulder blades, wrapping his arms around his husband. "Let him rest Kyuu…" The other nodded and closed the door. Walking towards their bedroom it was a sanctuary.

Unlike other beds his was on the floor so he could be the fox he was, Arashi sat on the rather large plush pillow and rubbed it for Kyuubi to lay down on. Kyuubi rested down and groaned, "I haven't been out all night for years…" Yawning a bit he wrapped his arms around Arashi who was nodding off to sleep. Kyuubi's tails wrapped around Arashi warming both of them with the warmth they were emanating. Soon the whole room was warmed up and the two were asleep.

The next couple of weeks went by with no news on the whereabouts of Zabuza. Naruto woke up to feel the house warmer than usual. Waking up he walked down the hall, Naruto stopped at his parent's room and knocked on the door? "Mother, Father?"

"Oh please Naruto," Looking behind his shoulder he saw his mother awake, "Leave your father be, he's in heat right now and if you go in there than he'll jump you and mate with you." Naruto moved his hand down, "You mean he needs to mate?"

"Yeah he goes through this every few years and he'll die if he doesn't mate." Naruto looked at the door. "But mom why aren't you in there?"

"A mating ceremony lasts all from dawn to dusk, I wanted to wait for you to go to school." Naruto put on his shoes and said, "Well then I'll just go early today. I don't want to keep him waiting any longer."

Running downstairs towards the front door he took off.

Arashi walked into the room to see Kyuubi lying in a curled up form, the fox lifted his head at hearing the door open up, he looked very tired but his eyes said otherwise, "Arashi, I want you…"

"I know Kyuubi-kun… I know.."

Naruto ran towards the bus stop and got on; Naruto walked over and sat down on one of the seats. Looking through his backpack he realized that he forgot his English book. Cursing to himself he watched as the bus stopped once again revealing Sasuke. Naruto glared at him and looked out the window. Feeling the seat next to him become occupied he saw Sasuke sitting next to him. "I didn't say you could sit next to me teme."

"I don't need your permission dobe…" Sasuke was staring at him and it gave Naruto an uncomfortable feeling. "I wonder how I can humiliate you today…" Sasuke said more to himself than to the other and Naruto wasn't ready to let him take advantage of him.

"Yeah right te…" Naruto was pulled into Sasuke's lap and the other began kissing him just as the bus was about to stop. Naruto looked over his shoulder and his eyes widened. It was Sakura! The girl that he had a crush on since 3rd grade and she was getting on the bus. Sasuke was grinning at him and Naruto looked at him, "Please Sasuke let me go!" Sasuke smirked evilly, "Why should I? Unless you have something good to give in return then I'll let you go."

"Please! Anything!" Sasuke thought a moment and held him a little longer, "Anything huh? Okay…" Letting Naruto go he disappeared to the seat behind him, "You owe me something…" He said as Sakura came onto the bus, "Okay… what is it you want from me?"

"I'll think about it… dobe." Sakura looked at Naruto and smiled a bit, Naruto smiled back hoping that she'd want to sit next to him on the bus. But walking right past him she asked Sasuke if she could sit by him.

"Whatever." Sasuke said looking in Naruto's eyes at the shock. Naruto's eyes were in a glare and he turned around and Sasuke could feel from his imbalance of chi that he was upset. Sasuke felt sorry that Naruto was angry at him and he could feel something causing his heart to stir, breathing deeply he quietly thought to himself about that mercenary. He needed to tell Naruto about him quickly before he found him again.

Naruto walked into the room to see everyone crowded around Sasuke's desk, scratch that… the female population around Sasuke's desk, cleaning it and making it look nice for him. Sasuke walked in soon after and noticed Naruto laying his head down on his desk. "Oi, dobe. You shouldn't be sleeping right now."

"Shut it asshole! I didn't get enough sleep last night thanks to a certain you…" He whispered back harshly towards the vampire. And it was true, for the last couple of weeks Sasuke had made him stay up at night and go out hunting. Sasuke shook his head and looked up.

Sasuke sat on the rooftop meditating… There was something wrong. Naruto's presence wasn't on the school campus. At this realization Sasuke jumped off the roof landing on the ground swiftly and began running to find his soon to be mate.

Meanwhile Naruto was walking around town on his lunch break looking around at one of the random ramen stalls. Walking into one they welcomed and got his order started. Naruto sat down and waited and in a bit his food was ordered. Taking out a pair of chopsticks he said happily, "Itadakimasu!" And he began eating. Gulping down the remnants of the broth he declared happily, "Much better than school food! Thank you very much Sir!" Leaving money on the table he left the stall and walked around the town a little longer, he still had about twenty minutes left of lunch time. Walking towards the main streets he walked across the street noticing somebody running away from a group of people. Seeing their fangs he saw them to be vampires. Running after them he found them in an alley and was cornering a beautiful girl.

"So sweetheart, what's it going to be?" Naruto ran and stabbed them all in the chests getting into a fight. Naruto looked towards the girl who was huddled in a corner she was slowly getting up. "Thanks… I thought I could shake those vampires off but they kept up…"

Naruto helped her up, "Yeah, I have the same problem…." They began walking and the girl smiled, "So why is he after you?"

"I really don't know, it's all so confusing." The girl smiled and turned on a corner, "Well thank you again young man. I hope we meet again soon…." Naruto blushed at the thought and waved at her goodbye.

"Oh and by the way, I'm a boy…" Naruto was dumbstruck… A BOY!!! With those girlish features?!

Sasuke looked all over and then finally found Naruto landing beside him he whacked him over the head, "Usurutonkachi! What do you think you were doing?" Naruto held his head and stared angrily, "What are you talking about teme?! I can go wherever I want! What does it matter to you anyways?"

Sasuke couldn't tell him the truth. So he just dragged him away, "Just come with me dobe! You're going to be late to class… Jump on my back." Naruto slapped the hand away and said, "I can get there by myself! I don't need you to tell me what to do!"

Sasuke picked him up and they both disappeared. "Dobe you're going to get yourself killed if you delve into other people's lives!"

"Wouldn't that satisfy you? You're out to kill me anyways…"

Sighing angrily at him he said, "It's too hard to explain dobe… Just get to class." Naruto was wondering why Sasuke wasn't being mean to him. A couple weeks ago Sasuke would be out to kill him or get him killed.

Sasuke watched his love leave his sight whispering, you wouldn't understand that if another vampire were to kill you then you would become their mate instead of mine…

Haku entered the room where the demon coven was meeting. Listening as Zabuza was talking with a few demons… Haku entered the room and bowed down before them, "I'm back Zabuza…"

"Ah, Haku, just in time. Gentlemen I would like to introduce you to my student and one of the greatest assassins, Haku the white." Haku sat down next to his master and said, "Please Master, you shouldn't say such lies…"

"Did you talk with the Oceanborn?"

"Yes, and it seems like he isn't expecting us to attack…" Haku said. "That and Kyuubi is in heat right now. So tonight would be the best time to attack."

"Very good Haku, we'll attack tonight then…" Zabuza said running his hand through his pets hair.

Kakashi looked through his paperwork for that day and he was actually very bored. He just wanted to read his book, Icha Icha Paradise… Hearing his cell phone go off he looked at it, "Arashi-kun?" Opening it up he said, "Ja?"

"Kakashi… It's just as we feared. Zabuza might just attack tonight. I want you to follow Naruto and Sasuke tonight…" He could tell by Arashi's voice that he was tired.

"Can't you?" Kakashi asked leaning back pulling out his book, "I would Kakashi but Kyuubi's in heat today…"

"Ah, I see… I'll take care of everything then until you get there that is." Kakashi closed his phone and looked out the window seeing it was almost sunset. "I guess I should get out there…"

Naruto was walking home today… It calmed his nerves and he would be able to by then not think of Sasuke. He had to admit that Sasuke was acting nicer than when they first met. It made him feel special. Hearing the howl of the wind Naruto looked up to see Sasuke following him. Glaring at him Naruto kept walking. He was at the bridge that would connect the two parts of Tokyo. Naruto grinned he knew that vampires couldn't cross over running water. But the water wasn't moving it was just a lake that stayed still so Naruto glared as Sasuke jumped down next to him. Looking down he realized that he didn't have his house key with him. "Damn… I must've dropped it somewhere…" Looking at Sasuke he pointed at him. "You better not follow me!

Sasuke watched as Naruto ran back towards the innermost part of the city. Sniffing the air he heard somebody coming that way. Seeing Kakashi walking towards the bridge Sasuke looked the other way, "What are you doing here Kakashi?"

"Why Prince Sasuke, I'm surprised you recognize me still."

"Why wouldn't I recognize the face of a traitor and my old sensei? That and I recognized you when I walked into class for the first day. So what is Arashi having you do right now?" Sasuke asked sitting on the edge of the bridge.

"Protecting Naruto from the likes of you…."

"And by Naruto, Kakashi… Do you mean the Oceanborn?" Both of them looked up and saw Zabuza standing there, beside him was the hunter that had stopped Sasuke weeks before from killing Zabuza.

"Zabuza the blue… What brings you here?" Kakashi asked with his eye glaring at the man. The boy in the mask took out his needles, "Where is the Oceanborn?"

"And who might you be?" Kakashi asked, Zabuza smirked and introduced him, "This is my new apprentice, Haku the white." Haku's face was hidden by his mask and Sasuke stared at it, "Please if you will be so kindly as to tell us where the Oceanborn is then we'll get our job over with quickly."

Sasuke growled, "Yeah right!" Charging at Haku the other easily dodged him and appeared behind him about to strike just as Sasuke ducked and threw Haku over his shoulder having him land on his back near the ground. Taking out a knife he reached to kill Haku.

Haku took his fist and punched Sasuke sending him upward towards the top of the bridge but as Sasuke began his decent he spun and kicked Haku in the face sending him flying towards Zabuza.

Haku landed gracefully on the ground and threw needles at Sasuke, but the other quickly dodged and caught them sending them flying back at Haku. Knowing what was coming Haku quickly dodged and began forming a few hand signs. "By the power of the spirits that dwell in water. I summon thee to my aid!" A water dragon started to form and then blew up at the sight Haku froze his arms and the water droplets turned into ice crystals, he brought down his arms and the thousands of ice crystals fell on Sasuke slashing his arms everywhere and The throwing needles were thrown at Sasuke as well slashing him and going through his arms.

Zabuza watched as his student attacked the Uchiha brat and his eyes focused on Kakashi who was cautiously watching Zabuza for any sign of attack. Zabuza charged at him and Kakashi attacked as well. Kakashi punched Zabuza in the chin sending him to the ground instantaneously. The blood that was coming from his mouth tasted coppery and Zabuza wiped it away angrily. Taking out his large sword he attacked at Kakashi cutting a rather large gash in his arm.

Naruto looked around angrily and thought for a minute, "I wonder where I could've dropped it." Looking around harder he finally found it. "AHA!! I knew I would find it sooner of later!" Picking it up he dangled the fox keychain happily and began running away towards the bridge. He didn't know why he was going back there. He could've easily caught a train to get home instead but something in his gut told him to go there. Something about Sasuke came to him and he began running faster.

Sasuke… What have you done to me? I can't seem to think of anything else and now? I can only see you in pain! What's wrong Sasuke? What's wrong? Naruto knew there would be no reply to his own thoughts but when he heard, Stay where you are Naruto! I don't want you to get hurt! Naruto didn't know what these voices were. They were like two totally different people. But Naruto's voice came and answered, NO! I we're in this together Sasuke! I won't let you die because of me! And for some reason Naruto's body betrayed its mind and ran faster to get to Sasuke. Running towards the bridge he saw Zabuza and that masked boy from earlier. Sasuke looked at Naruto and his eyes were wide, "What are you doing here dobe?! I told you to stay away from here!" Mirrors started to come up from all over and Sasuke was trapped inside.

"SASUKE!!" Naruto ran and jumped into the ice mirror trap to get with the vampire. Sasuke looked at him in fright. "Naruto I told you to stay out of this!"

"Yes, Oceanborn… You should've listened to him. Now you will both die." Came the reply from the boy behind the mask. He then began shooting needles at them and Naruto was hit out of the way and Sasuke dodged them swiftly getting only a few in his right arm and leg. "Naruto get out of here!" Haku smirked under his mask and said, "There is no escape, once you are in you are in until I kill you." Haku threw some at Naruto and Sasuke jumped towards him and took more needles to his body. Naruto stared at him in horror. "Sasuke stop it!"

"Shut up and find a way out of here!"

Naruto got up and went towards the other side and almost got out but Haku got to him first and kicked him away. "I told you nobody leaves here…" Naruto got up slowly and said, "Well I'm going to find a way out of here!"

Kyuubi and Arashi lay down in their bed completely spent. Kyuubi snuggled closer to Arashi who was holding onto him happily. "Mmmn… Kyuubi…" Kyuubi smiled and kissed his mate on his forehead.

But hearing something in the distance he immediately sat up. Arashi looked at him tired and questioningly. "Kyuubi-kun? What's wrong?" Kyuubi's eyes were glaring and Arashi could sense that he was pissed. "What is it Kyuubi?" Kyuubi stared ahead of him as if he were listening to something. His eyes went wide and said, "Naruto…danger…"

Arashi hurriedly got up forgetting the stabbing pain in his lower back and got his clothes on. "Hurry Kyuubi! Our son's in danger!" Kyuubi nodded and put his clothes on quickly running out the door to aid Arashi.

Sasuke was thrown to the ground again as needles come into contact with him. If I can just keep Naruto safe then I'll be fine. Looking at Naruto who was laying on the ground in pain he saw Haku about to throw more needles at him. He could smell poison on them and they were heading towards Naruto. "Naruto!!" Hurriedly running over there he took all of them on and they went though his neck, and arms, and hands, and everything. It hurt… It hurts… but at least. He's safe.

Naruto looked up and saw Sasuke standing in front of him. Smiling happily and saying, "Thanks Sa—" His sentence was cut short as he saw Sasuke falling to the ground in a pool of blood. "Sasuke?" Shaking him he only felt the other go limp. "Sasuke?!" Sasuke turned his head and smirked at him. "So much… for protecting you… you dobe…"

"Sasuke?"

"I never… got the chance... to tell you… I.. I.." Sasuke's eyes fell closed and his face became paler then before. "Sasuke? Sasuke!!" Naruto held him in his lap and began to cry over someone who he thought he hated. The voice inside him rose again to thought, Sasuke my love! Don't leave me again! Naruto didn't understand. When had Sasuke left him before? What was wrong with him, why was he crying for him?

"It's a pity he didn't get to tell you his feelings…" Naruto looked up at Haku and his eyes flared angrily. Naruto looked at him and stood up laying Sasuke on the ground gently. "YOU!" Naruto's eyes changed red for one second and then red chakra came around him. Naruto was taken over by something, his inner soul. "By the spirits that dwell in flame destroy this menace!"

Kyuubi and Arashi arrived seeing their son conjuring the flame gods and summoning them to his aid. The fire danced around Naruto and then came and fired at the mirrors knocking Haku out of them. Naruto found him and punched him square in the face. Haku landed on the ground and his mask shattered revealing the beautiful face of the boy Naruto had met earlier that day. Haku looked at him and then towards Zabuza. "I'm sorry Master… I failed.."

Zabuza saw this and fled towards Haku, "Haku!" Arashi saw Zabuza and ran towards him knocking him to the ground. "Stop!" Zabuza looked at the blond and glared, "I have to save him from that brat of yours!" Arashi shook his head, "No, if you want to save him then you need to hold your ground! Look!" Zabuza looked over his shoulder and saw demons surrounding his love and the Oceanborn. Glaring at them they smirked, "Thank you for weakening the Oceanborn for us. Now we'll be taking him to Orochimaru-sama for the reward. And we hope you don't mind us taking your little toy as well. He'll make a great pleasure slave." Haku was held in one of their arms and Naruto was on the ground held down by the many guards as Arashi stared at them, "Please! Don't hurt my baby!" Arashi tried to run towards them but was shot down with intense pain. Kyuubi rushed to his side, "Arashi are you alright?" Arashi stared up at them and said, "I can't move…"

Kyuubi looked at them, "Let him go! Or I swear these days will be the last you'll ever see." Kyuubi showed his talons and fangs to show them it was no ideal threat. They stared at Kyuubi and laughed, "You really expect us to believe that?" Putting a kunai to Naruto's head he smirked and Kyuubi's eyes widened, "It's either you or your son Kyuubi-sama." Kyuubi stared at his hands and felt like crying. "I love you Naruto… I would never have anything done to you." Walking towards them he kneeled on the ground, "Go ahead… Just give my son to my wife." They smirked and so did Kyuubi. Kicking the guy who was holding the kunai to the ground throwing Naruto towards Arashi who caught him happily. Kyuubi's eyes became piercing red and the men began to flee but not without meeting with Zabuza first, "You leave the Oceanborn alone and you give me back Haku!" Zabuza slashed them and took Haku from their arms. The beautiful boy awoke at the feeling of his master's arms around him. "Master… Zabuza?" Zabuza hugged him tightly and kissed him. "Oh Haku…" Naruto ran towards Sasuke who was lying on the ground dead… Truly dead.

"Sasuke… Oh Sasuke." Leaning down on him he began crying. Looking towards Haku he glared, "He's dead because of you!" Haku bowed his head and then remembered something. Walking towards Naruto the boy hugged Sasuke closer to his chest, Haku bent down and said, "Do you really want to save him?"

Naruto looked at Sasuke, if he didn't save him he wouldn't have to go through with that prophesy that was held so dear to everyone. And he would be rid of the vampire forever. But his heart said otherwise. After the weeks they spent together they became closer and he… Believe it or not… Fell in love. Looking into Haku's brown eyes he nodded, "Anything…"

Haku took a knife and held it towards Naruto, "Cut yourself and feed your blood to him…" Arashi's eyes widened, "NO NARUTO! DON"T DO IT!!!" Naruto looked at his mother and questioned, "Why not mother?"

"Because if you do then you'll be submitting to his will and you'll become his property! It's almost like a mate claim!" Naruto stared at his mother who was about to cry, "Mom… I have to… I need to fulfill this prophesy. Even if it means becoming his… I'll do it to save him." Naruto didn't know what he was saying! His inner demon was saying these things not him! Arashi knew this as well and cried into Kyuubi's arms. Naruto took the knife and cut his arm. Holding the blood dripping wrist to Sasuke's mouth he watched as the first drop fell inside that delicate mouth. Naruto began to cry as his soul was sold away to the vampire that lay before him.

Sasuke could hear something, a voice? Come back to me my love… Seeing a beautiful blond fox staring at him with blue eyes he slowly moved towards him. He felt blood in his mouth. The fox's… Naruto's. He could see the scripts of souls before him and saw as Naruto's soul was sold over to him. A blood bond… Sasuke opened his eyes and saw Naruto there with tears in his eyes, Naruto looked at him and kissed his forehead. "Oh Sasuke… My Sasuke." Sasuke could tell that it was the inner demon of Naruto. The part that was in love with him. But… Naruto himself wasn't. He could see it in his eyes.

Getting up he kissed Naruto and the other eagerly kissed him back. "I would die for the love of the mermaid…" Naruto smiled. And then his other side came back, the real Naruto. "Sasuke…" He smiled again, whispering to him, "You would really do that for me?"

"Really…" Naruto looked at him and looked away, "I can't say the same Sasuke." Sasuke understood and fell away.

"That's fine Naruto… You'll never have to." (1)

Haku and Zabuza bowed to Arashi and Kyuubi. "We'll be headed on our way, and is Naruto-kun alright?" Arashi nodded and stared towards the door. "He'll be fine… He's a survivor." Haku smiled and sighed in relief, "We're terribly sorry for all the trouble Arashi-sama. But your son has changed our minds on things." Zabuza nodded and Haku handed over a pendant.

"If Naruto-kun is ever in trouble… Have him call us. And we'll be there in an instant… As sworn by the white and blue knights." Arashi was confused, "Ah so you're the white knight. I remember now that once a knight dies or has betrayed, then a new one is chosen." Haku nodded, "It was an honor to meet you Arashi-sama. Good luck in the future to you and your family. May they all be blessed…"Arashi nodded and went his way inside. Seeing a letter on the door he took it,

Arashi-sama…

I know that this may seem odd to you but I promise that I mean no harm to Naruto. Please allow me to be his mate. At least when he turns. I know you don't like the idea of the prophesy coming true but I will make him happy. And if not… You may kill me. I will be willing if I am to ever harm Naruto-kun.

-Sasuke

I know Sasuke… Arashi thought looking towards the starlit sky; I just can't imagine losing my only baby…

TBC

There you have it!!!

Review please!

Okay… So here it is. Instead of having the Kyuubi inside of Naruto there is an inner demon who doesn't come out of Naruto until his 18th birthday. On every demons 18th birthday they gain their more demonic like features. So when Naruto's 18th birthday arrives the inner demon who was with Sasuke before life when the prophesy was foretold will come to life. But Naruto will still be his same old self. And that is why Sasuke is working so hard to get Naruto to love him.

That last thing that Sasuke said made me all happy inside!
