Chapter Four.
A/N.
So here's the conclusion to the terrible cliffhanger i left you with last time. I know, I know, I'm a monster. I already know this.
So yeah, wasn't Orochimaru creepy? He scared me while I was writing the damn thing...I was all 'I don't want it.' :'(
Yeah, but anyway, here's the newest chapter in the story.
I don't own Naruto...Sasuke does. XD

"Talk." Kisame was sitting on the floor of Itachi's bedroom staring up at his Owner who didn't look in the mood to play around with words. The Shark Jin took a deep breath, could he really do this, could he tell this Human about Kyuubi-sama? "Kisame, I am losing my patience."
"Yes." Kisame took another breath, trying to control his panic. He tried to rationalize it, telling himself that if Kyuubi-sama hadn't wanted anyone to know about him he wouldn't have shown himself in the midst of three Humans. The Shark Jin looked up, the dispair showing in his eyes.
"You need to understand that what I am about to do is the greatest taboo of my people. Kyuubi-sama may well kill me and he would be entitled to." He shut his eyes to ignore the slightly shocked look on his Owners face.
"Why?"
"He is our lord. Kyuubi-sama, he chooses a host once a generation."
"But his host is my brothers Jin." Itachi couldn't understand this, why would a powerful entity choose a Jin that was captured.
"Yes. No one truely understands why Kyuubi-sama takes some of his hosts. But we are not expected to, everything Kyuubi-sama does, he does for the good of all Jins." Maybe if he just skirted around the main issues, yes that would work.
"How does he get into the host?" Crap, with Itachi asking such blunt questions it was hard to stay away from the truth...wait, maybe if he acted stupid. He lowered his eyes, not wanting his Owner to catch him in a blantant lie.
"No one really knows." In truth Kyuubi's host would travel, he would not stop, would not eat or sleep. He just kept walking until he found the Jin he was looking for. It was forbidden for Human's to know this, if they discovered that the Lord of Jins needed a host they would simply kill all the Jins.
"Kisame." Itachi's voice was quiet. "Why do I think you are lying to me?"
"I don't care. Punish me if you will. I cannot say anymore then this. I am already marked by Kyuubi-sama." The Shark Jin kept his eyes to the floor, he hated causing his Owner to punish him but he could not say anything more.
"I'm not going to punish you." Itachi sighed and a soft noise allerted Kisame to the fact he had flopped backwards onto his bed. "If it's that big a deal that you can't say anymore I don't want to get you into trouble with any great Lord of yours."
"Thank you." Kisame whispered and raised his head in time to catch the leer Itachi sent his way.
"Why not thank me properly." He whispered wickedly and Kisame smiled, knowing this question and answer session was over as he climbed onto the bed, lowering his mouth to Itachi's neck.

Naruto ignored the Dolphin Jin who knelt in front of him.
"Kyuubi-sama." Iruka whispered half in awe and half in fear. The blonde leaned down to grab the collar of Iruka's shirt, jerking him roughly to his feet.
"Do you want the humans to find out about all our secrets? I am not Kyuubi-sama, I am only his host." The blonde hissed in the Jin language.
"Dobe." Both Jins whirled to view the black haired boy scowling. "I have some things to talk to you about."
"How dare you call Ky-" Iruka's voice was cut off by the slap that echoed through the room.
"That is enough Dolphin. Return to your owner." Came the deep voice that all Jin know. Iruka bowed, shaking as he hid behind Kakashi, the red eyes dissapeared and the blonde seemed to stagger before his Owner grabbed his arm, pulling him from the room.
"Are you alright?" Kakashi cupped the Dolphin Jins face, turning it to look at the slight red mark on his skin.
"Fine." Iruka pulled away, not wanting to be in such close contact with Humans.

"You need to talk to me." Sasuke began, he blinked as the blonde beside him snorted.
"Even if I wanted to I cannot."
"You will talk." Sasuke ground out, narrowing his eyes.
"Didn't you just hear me, I didn't say I wouldn't talk, I said I can't." The blonde yawned and stretched, narrowly missing the head of his Owner. It was interesting to say the least. The Lord of the Jin had chosen a youth who looked weak to most, and then he had been captured. The Lord of the Jin was Owned, it was ironic to say the least.
"Why?"
"Can't say really. Oh man I am tired. Can we sleep please?" Naruto turned his blue eyes on his Owner who stiffined suddenly at the attention.
"Fine." He grunted, pulling the blonde towards his room. Once inside Naruto stopped, staring at the large bed.
"You sleep on -that-?" He asked and Sasuke shrugged. It was just a bed to him, then as if remembering the conversation he had partaken in with Kisame he looked thoughtfully at his Jin who was still staring at the bed.
"You were in the Factory for seven years?"
"Yep."
"And you slept in that cage for seven years?"
"You get used to it after the first six months. Most of the time you don't even realize somethings digging into your hip." Was the reply as the blonde inched closer to the bed, the urge to touch it was strong, knowing it would be soft like a cloud, or the tails of his mother, whom he faintly remembered. Sasuke rolled his eyes at the way the Fox Jin inched forwards, as if he was afraid of getting smacked for moving too quickly.
Grabbing the Jins arm he pulled him forward, narrowing his eyes at the way he flinched. So the rumors Kisame would sometimes spout were true, the Jins were treated badly at the Factory.
"They hit you." It wasn't a question and Naruto shrugged, trying to calm the way his skin jumped from the hand on his arm.
"Only when they were dissatisfied with me. Ususally when I chased off customers." Was the answer, a broad grin stretching across a tan face as he fell against the soft bed. He brought his legs up, burrying his face into the fabric, it had been a tiring day for him. Getting possessed twice in one day by Kyuubi-sama and being Owned took alot out of one.
"Chased off customers? Like you tried to do to me?" Sasuke asked and Naruto had just enough energy to nod, his mind already being pulled under into the Land of Nod. "Dobe, you have to get undressed before you sleep." Sasuke shook his head in amusement as he pulled the blonde up. The little fox was like a limp ragdoll in his arms and he took a breath before stripping the fox of his clothing, pulling sleeping pants on the naked Fox Jin before his brain told his body to jump the sleeping Jin.
"Your trouble. I never should have picked you." Sasuke grumbled as he changed into sleeping clothes himself. He climbed under the blankets where the Fox Jin was already huddled, wrapping an arm around the slim hips he pulled the Fox close to him, slipping off to dreamland quietly while the house settled around them.

A/N.
Holy crap, I wrote this with half an hour to spare. I have to get to work now...kayah, I can't believe I managed that. I am so pro it hurts.
Okay so now we know what's going on with Kyuubi-sama...well mostly. I still don't know what's up with Kyuubi-sama and I'm writing the story. Ah, well, I guess I figure it out around the same time you do.
Review please. XD
