Chapter 10: Dark intentions, your feelings for Me

"Whats with the face?" Karin asked looking from Juugo to Sasuke. Juugo glared at Karin, "well, I take it he doesn't like Mangekyo...and what's not to like. It is—was his brother..."

Sasuke looked up at Juugo, he was right. That damn Itachi was the famous Mangekyo. Suddenly they both were interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone. The two of them glanced over angrily at Karin, who blushed and dug for her cell phone.

"Is that all you needed Uchiha?" Juugo continued, ignoring Karin. Sasuke paused to think, was that really all he needed. He couldn't exactly give this up, a man willing to explain everything and almost anything about the most feared gang in America. "Why? What's their motive to stealing?"

Juugo glanced up at the ceiling. "Must be following in his father's footsteps..." Juugo mumbled as he glanced at Sasuke. "I don't think they had a reason, and if they actually do then it must be because of 009..."

"Who's 009?" Sasuke asked slightly taken aback.

Juugo glanced up, "well, you could always weasel it out of your brother... But I doubt he'd tell you..." Juugo paused as he looked from Sasuke to the quietly talking Karin. "009 was before your time" he started, his voice at a constant whisper, eyes locked on Karin, making sure she wouldn't turn around from her phone conversation and eavesdrop. "But if you will, he was a sort of hit man for the government. They had a good enough handful of them to do their dirty work. I'd like to say that the number of them were around five to nine. They all picked a number—and that's how the government would keep in contact with them... The only bad thing about it is—most of the men were either married or had a family...so it was very hard for them to just walk out of their lives and pretend nothing existed anymore."

Sasuke stared at Juugo as he continued to explain the government's assassins. He was awestruck, nobody, not even his own brother, would try and forget the family they started or were in. It's—impossible. Well, unless you had the emotional capacity of a teaspoon.

"That's—" Sasuke began.

"Sasuke that was the lab—they've found something quite interesting..." Karin cut in curtly. Sasuke jerked his head at Karin and glared. "Well why don't you go see for yourself...I'm busy..." Sasuke said as he tried not to growl.

"I think it would be best if you came along Sasuke-kun..." Karin said with a slight bit of malice in her voice. Sasuke glared but was soon interrupted by the own sound of his cell phone.

Digging into his pockets angrily he found his Motorola and answered it, "What do you want?" Sasuke growled.

"Aww, I thought the pup would be happy..." a voice said.

Sasuke lifted an eyebrow as he brought up his finger, indicating to Karin and Juugo that he would need more then a minute. "Who is this?" Sasuke asked as he turned his back, not like Juugo or Karin particularly cared, Juugo took interest in feeding his bird that perched itself on his back as Sasuke got the phone call, and Karin was too busy staring at Sasuke's ass.

"It's Kakashi—Jeesh, Sasuke you need to check who's calling you..." Kakashi said smugly. "But, I'll explain why I called..." Kakashi paused, "We found the perfect place to celebrate your new promotion..."

Sasuke lifted an eyebrow, "Okay, whatever, you could've said that once I got back..." Sasuke said angrily. "Right, well goodbye Kakashi..." Sasuke said as he quickly cut his cell phone off.

Juugo looked up at Sasuke as the bird perched itself on his finger, "are you leaving now?" Karin looked eagerly at Sasuke; she didn't want to be in this tiny shack any more—or in Juugo's presence either. "Yes," Sasuke sighed disgruntled, "we'll have to be leaving now—so sorry..."

"If you have any more questions, feel free to ask..." Juugo said as he placed the bird back in its cage, "now get the fuck out—" Karin didn't need to be told twice, and scrambled her way out of the shack, Sasuke following right behind her. New information bubbling in his head, as he now looked at the Konoha Demons at a new aspect.

Sasuke and Karin walked in silence towards his parked car, Karin getting into the passengers side and Sasuke getting into the drivers side. They drove in silence, well until Karin couldn't stand it and decided to turn the radio on.

They were lucky enough to barely catch the beginning of one of her favorite songs too.

Step one you say we need to talk. He walks you say sit down it's just a talk.
He smiles politely back at you.
You stare politely right on through.
Some sort of window to your right.
As he goes left and you stay right.
Between the lines of fear and blame,
you began to wonder why you came...

The Fray wasn't that bad of a band, and truth be told, some of their songs were catchy. Personally he actually liked this song. But one of the lyrics caught his attention. 'As he goes left and you stay right.'

Why. Why did that make him think of that blonde? Maybe it was because he was always moving to quick. To fast. Even for him to catch up, and maybe even possibly talk to him. Sasuke thought as he drove onto the Station. But why?

Why did he think of Kyuubi as well? 'Between the lines of fear and blame, you began to wonder why you came...' He wasn't supposed to have these sorts of feelings or thoughts towards the thief. The exact person he was trying to put in jail! He hated himself for thinking about the masked cat burglar more then the blonde British boy. Before Sasuke knew it, he had already driven himself and Karin to the station—the song ending a long time ago.

Karin got out of the car solemnly and closed the passenger door; Sasuke following behind her.

"OH!" She shouted happily. Sasuke jerked his head up and suffered a small but bearable headache. "I never really got to tell you what I wanted to tell you before we left to go to that weirdo's place." Karin said as she beamed happily.

Sasuke lifted an eyebrow but didn't question her, Karin took that as a sign to continue, "weeeeeeell, you know how we never get any information on the KD's right?"

Sasuke looked at her and glared in confusion, "Karin—where the hell is this going?" Sasuke got out as he was cut off by a slight from his pants; all thanks to his cell phone.

"Well—" Karin got out as Sasuke lifted a finger up to silence her, as he took out his cell phone. A text? Who would—oh...right, Obito. Hitting the OK button he brought up the text and read it curiously. It was urgent? Sasuke thought, why didn't he call me if it was important?

2:08am

Sasuke looked at the text message confusedly but noticed the time it was sent, "Well this is wonderful, crime doesn't sleep, even on a day like this. Happy Birthday baby Jesus..." Sasuke commented as he began typing away his reply to Obito.

Karin looked at Sasuke then to her watch, "Wow, its Christmas!" she cheered happily. "Oh! Sasuke! Can I give you your present now??" Sasuke looked up from his cell phone, and stared at Karin, "erm—sure?" Karin, the total bitch at work, bought him a Christmas present? What—was it raining acid and he didn't know it? But before he could even register what would happen next, Karin shoved a pale blue bag infront of his face. "You can open it now if you want to..." Karin beamed. Sasuke's cell phone buzzed in his hands, sighing he flipped it open again mumbling a tiny apology.

Dec 25, 06 (Mon)
2:13am

Sasuke sighed, "Sorry Karin—I'll have to open this when I get home, and it seems I'm needed at my house and stuff. For some company..." Karin looked down crestfallen.

"Alright then, Merry Christmas Sasuke." Karin said as she headed back into the station. Sasuke lazily watched her head back into the station and exited out of the text from Obito and hit number three, calling Kakashi on speed dial; and got into his car.

Starting his car he finally heard the dial tone end and soon assumed that he had picked up.

"Hey—" Kakashi said with a slight pause.

"Hey Kakashi, I have to go home to—"

"I'm not able to pick the phone up at the moment, I'm too busy fighting off bad guys or saving dolphins—so leave your name, number and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can." Sasuke couldn't believe Kakashi's stupid voice mail.

"Kakashi, you're voice mail amuses me," Sasuke said in a sarcastic tone, "I'm going home because I have company on the way—if you screw anything up in the forensic lab it'll be you're head, do you understand?" And with that, Sasuke hung up and drove off to his house.

-Uchiha Manor-

It was wee in the morning when Obito awoke to a surprise phone call. "H-h-h-hello?" Obito yawned tiredly as he answered the phone call.

"Obito?" the voice asked.

"Yes?" Obito paused to yawn once more, "Who is this?"

"It's me Itachi..."

"Wh-what? Why are you calling so late?" Obito asked, more importantly, why was he calling him?

"Oh, just checking up on my wonderful cousin. You know..." Itachi said into the phone.

Obito looked towards the small iHome dock that held his iPod, and also told the time like any regular clock. It was 1:50? Why was he calling him at this time of night?! Before Obito had the time to even reply—let alone think about what he'd say next Obito continued, "You're probably wondering why I'm calling you at this time at night huh?"

Obito blushed slightly, "Well—erm—sorta—yeah..."

"Do you mind if I come over?" Itachi asked.

"No—not at all, but our maids went home—I didn't want them to be here still so I sent them home...but uh, sure, I don't mind—" Obito babbled. Even though Itachi wasn't next to Obito, he could defiantly tell Itachi was smiling slightly. That was one of the things Itachi missed. "Is Sasuke there?"

"Oh, no, Sasuke is still at work—Kyuubi made a snatch at those earrings they had at that hotel—it was all on the news. It was kind of interesting on how Kyuubi obtained those earrings though. He must've known about Sasuke pulling something to add an edge when Sasuke put a little bomb inside the earring case. Poor kid...must've been scared half to death..." Obito said frowning.

"Well, that's nice and all, but do you think Sasuke'll be there when I show?" Itachi asked.

"Well, I don't know—normally he works until five to the latest, but I could text him and see what he's up too..." Obito said as his feet aimlessly searched the floor for his cozy slippers.

"That'd be nice—I'll be at Uchiha Manor around 2:3oish? Okay?" Itachi didn't even wait for Obito's answer as he hung up on him "Alri—" Obito got out as he heard the tiny click and frowned.

Sasuke wasn't going to like this...and with that thought in his head Obito took out his cell phone (which rested by his iHome) and texted Sasuke.

-Kirigakure no Kijin Headquarters-

"Thank you again for letting us stay here Haku..." Shikamaru said as he settled down on the couch.

"It's no problem." Haku beamed, "now, the blankets are down the hall and in the closet next to the bathroom. Naruto's room is down the hall and to the left, two doors down from that is mine and Zabuza's room—"

"Who the hell are these guys?" a voice said from the foot of the stairs.

"Who exactly do we fucking look like? Santa Claus? The tooth fairy?" Gaara growled slightly. "Suigetsu, behave. These are a few members from Konoha Demon..." Zabuza said, not even taking his sight off his fingernails. Suigetsu looked from Zabuza to Gaara. "You're shitting me? Like hell the KD would be here, in our dingy hideout?"

"Dingy?" Gaara remarked, "I wouldn't call this dingy I'd call it more like a piece of shit, or a hell hole." Suigetsu looked at Gaara closely, "OHMYGOD! YOU'RE SHUKAKU!"

"Yes, I am; what I think you just announced that to the whole world about me being Shukaku...I even think the after life heard you..." Gaara said, turning his attention towards the plasma TV screen.

Suigetsu blushed slightly, rubbing his hand on his head embarrassedly. "Down raccoon boy..." Zabuza said as he lightly rested his palm on Suigetsu's shoulder. Gaara glared at the remark but said nothing.

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEEEEEEP!" came the noise from Kiba's digital watch. Who in turn looked down at his watch, "Oh, well, Happy Christmas everybody..." Everyone grunted something that sounded somewhat close to a return 'happy/merry Christmas'.

"Well, I know a way to bring in the birth of Jesus." A voice chimed in. Everybody turned their heads to look at the speaker. Surprisingly enough, it was Shikamaru... "Well care to speak your wisdom Shadow?" Gaara said as he folded his arms neatly across his chest. "We could watch a Christmas movie...per say It's A Wonderful Life?"

"We don't own that movie—sorry Shikamaru..." Haku said sadly.

"Jack Frost?"

"No..."

"Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer?"

"Not that one either..."

"Little Drummer Boy?"

"Sorry..."

"Well, what do you own?" Shikamaru asked looking at Haku and Zabuza.

"We don't own much—" Haku said sadly.

Zabuza nodded his head of approval. "The only thing we actually own is 300, and cheap porn."

"Happy Birthday Baby Jesus..." Kiba scoffed under his breath. As Zabuza moved to insert the DVD, Gaara zoned in and out of what was going on around him and thought of things that weren't. For example: what Naruto had said right before he drifted off into sleep.

What had he meant by Kago liking him?

-Uchiha Manor-

Obito padded down the stairs and found a rather confused-like Sasuke.

"Why am I here?" Sasuke growled examining Obito from where he stood.

Obito looked up and smiled nervously, "well, Sasuke—Itachi called, and uh—he has some important news to share with us...and apparently it just can't wait until a proper time in the morning." This answer did not please Sasuke very much, what he really wanted to do once he got home was not talk to his elder brother at ungodly hours. Let alone on the merriest day on the planet. He had planned something of involving sleeping on his nice bed once he got home from tonight's excursion.

"Are you sure he'll be willing to talk to us once he arrives?" Sasuke asked in some small hope that he would get to sleep tonight.

Obito frowned, "You know Itachi—what he has to say he'll make sure it's said. Even if it involves him repeating it over and over again..."

And at that, the doorbell rang. Sasuke's frown deepened as he headed into the living room, plopping down on the soft plush couch and awaited his brother.

Sasuke heard a light chat held between Obito and Itachi. But what he didn't understand was, he felt a third presence. He shrugged it off and waited for the 'How are you doing?' and 'How's life working as a teacher' and the obvious replies of 'Everything's fine and dandy. How's life working as a lawyer' and blahblahblah.

"Sasuke..." a cold hard voice jeered. As if on cue Itachi walked in, wearing a small smile. Sasuke glared, since when did that cold heartless bastard smile? Sasuke thought as he nodded his head slightly announcing that he knew Itachi was in the room.

"Sasuke, I'm sure you know Kisame..." Itachi said as he held his hand to his left, where a pale ragged man with pointy teeth, blue hair and three weird scar-like marks marred his face; stood. Sasuke had met Kisame, probably right before his parents died. Apparently they were law buddies of some sorts. Sasuke nodded his head slightly as well and slumped back down on the couch.

Itachi and Kisame sat down on the other side of Sasuke on the plush couch, Obito stood at the doorway. "Can I get anybody anything?"

Sasuke thought on that remark, how 'bout a sawed off shotgun...

"Water." Kisame replied.

Obito nodded, and looked at Itachi—who in turn shook his head, "I'm fine..."

Obito lifted his foot but paused. "What about you Sasuke?"

A bat so I can bludgeon my head with—or possibly even Itachi's? Sasuke thought as he too shook his head. "Nothing I need...am fine" well except for that one desire—sleep... Obito nodded and headed into the kitchen to retrieve the glass of water.

"So what's so important that you impress us with your presence at this night of hour?" Sasuke asked airily.

Itachi smirked as he chuckled. "Not that you need sleep Sasuke—you were always an insomniac." Sasuke frowned and deepened his glare.

"Don't think you can pull the death glare on me ototo-chan..." Itachi replied in a small bit of malice. "But—if you insist I'll tell you..." Itachi paused as he cleared his throat. "Sasuke... I'm going blind."

Sasuke blinked, this was the important information that couldn't wait until morning?! "So...why do I need to know this?" Sasuke blurted out before his brain could register the speech.

Itachi smiled. "Incase I see fit that none of my co-workers are fit for replacing me..."

Kisame sighed, Itachi sure was devious when he wanted to be, and also even more skeptical if he didn't want to be/didn't know he was. Kisame had always known Itachi wanted to dirty up his little brother's hands. He came close to dirtying his cousin's hands up by almost pointing his parent's death on Obito. But this was the cherry on the pie. The apple of Itachi's eye, making his brother—the cop: a man who would never fool around with fire. Take control of Itachi's company.

But little did the two know: Sasuke was indeed playing with fire.

-8 AM: Uchiha Manor-

Sasuke had finally gone to sleep, for a good four hours; until his cell phone abruptly woke him up. It rang for several minutes—as he lazily searched for his sleek phone device. Finding it he picked it up right before it clicked to his voice mail. "Who the fuck is this, and what in the hell do you want?"

A voice snickered as he answered, "Awww—Sasuke-kun's mad!"

Sasuke knew that voice all too well, "Kakashi what the fuck do you want?" Sasuke said, glancing at the clock as he swung his legs off the bed. You're kidding me. It's eight-fucking-o'clock in the goddamned morning?! Sasuke thought bitterly as got of the bed and stood stretching the muscles in his legs.

"Have you checked the paper this morning?" Kakashi answered happily. Sasuke swore the man was taking some sort of happy pills, if not then he's one major morning person.

"No why?" Sasuke asked softly, confused as to why Kakashi was asking him something like that.

"Check it..." Kakashi said simply, still staying on the line. "You might just like it..."

Sasuke rolled his eyes and walked out of his room and down the hallway—noticing Itachi's bedroom. Was he still here? With that fish fetish freak of a friend? Sasuke didn't have time to mull things over as he heard muffled voices talking quietly. "Hold on" he told Kakashi as he pressed his ear against the door covering the mouthpiece on his cell phone, in case Kakashi overheard anything.

He heard Itachi's tenor voice speak softly to (what he assumed to be) Kisame.

"Don't worry Kisame things will go perfectly." Itachi spoke softly.

"It's not that I'm worried per se. I just..." Kisame's baritone voice came, coming to a slight mumble to where Sasuke had to strain to hear the rest. "Don't want you getting hurt..."

"Kisame" Itachi's voice paused, Sasuke wished he could see what was happening, why had Itachi paused? "I'm not going to get hurt...thank you for caring..." Itachi spoke, his voice holding a soft caring tone.

"Th-thanks..." Kisame said: his voice holding bashfulness. The room soon became quiet except for small and minimal movement, along with small rustling from the bed sheets. Sasuke was just about to leave until he heard Itachi.

"And anyways I have Sasuke eating from the palm of my hand—" Sasuke quirked an eyebrow. What were the two doing in there? Itachi's voice had been soft and full of care (something completely out of character for an Uchiha no less) and now it was ruff, ragged, and out of breath?

"Y-you're right—m-maybe I shouldn't worry too much. It looks l-like oooh you've got t-things un-un-underahhhcontrol a-as alw-wayssss..." Kisame said, and with that Sasuke finally remembered that he was on a mission to get a newspaper and pulled away: in fear for what was happening in that room.

Finally getting the newspaper he turned to his phone, "What is it Kakashi?" Sasuke asked awaiting Kakashi's quick reply. That never came... "Kakashi?" Sasuke asked angrily.

"Oh sorry—I thought you were doing something and such...well you have your paper I assume? Alright flip to the front page..." Kakashi said happily. Sasuke did as he was told and searched for the first page: which was hard to find, since Obito always read the paper first and Joyce was the one to get the paper and then make breakfast. Finally finding the front page he almost dropped it in pure anger.

"That little bitch!" Sasuke yelled angrily, he thought nobody would find out about that. "I know...it's a good thing Tsunade thinks so highly of you and is talking to her bosses about not suspending you..." Kakashi said.

"But on another note, I found a club for your promotion party." Kakashi said changing the subject quickly. "The place is Bordello..."

Sasuke had never really been to Bordello—it was always Facade or Les Duex. But he had heard of Bordello, Obito and Itachi had both gone there once or twice and said it was very nice. "Sure...what day?"

"December thirty-first. New Years Eve..." Kakashi answered.

"Alright...time?" Sasuke asked.

"Seven at night to two in the morning..." Kakashi said lazily.

"Sounds good to me, see you then." And with that Sasuke closed his cell phone (turned it off for good measure) and headed back to his room.

-10 AM: Kirigakure no Kijin Headquarters-

"Are you done with the front page?" Gaara asked looking Zabuza dead in the eye. Zabuza frowned as he reluctantly handed the front page to Gaara. "Yes, but you won't like it—one bit..." and with that, Zabuza excused himself from the table to busy himself.

Gaara shrugged it off and unfolded the paper and read the front line: "Cop and Cat Burglar?" written by: Sakura Haruno.

Gaara payed no attention to it and skipped the front line, but sadly enough just below that was a picture of Kyuubi and Sasuke Uchiha kissing underneath mistletoe.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Gaara yelled angrily, not caring if he woke up the entire block. Gaara slammed the paper down and headed angrily off towards Naruto's bedroom.

Unfortunately for Naruto: he was dead asleep.

Kiba (who was sitting next to Gaara at the time) looked down at the piece of paper and read it aloud. "'Cop and Cat Burglar?' a story written by Sakura Haruno." Kiba paused as he skipped the boring parts of a newspaper. "On a cold Christmas Eve Kyuubi had planned on stealing the (and unfortunately achieved in stealing) Angel Tear earrings, that were being showcased at the Hotel located next to the Museum. He had successfully stolen the Angel Tears and was this close from escaping, that is until the valid hero (or in this case the LAPD) Sasuke Uchiha showed up to put a damper in the Konoha Demon's plans. But little did he know—a lustful Kyuubi was awaiting him on one of the floors in the Museum...more continued on I8..." Kiba finished.

"Wonder if he's going to kill Naruto?" Shikamaru commented as he shoveled eggs into his mouth. "I doubt it" Kiba commented as he picked up his toast (which he had dropped after Gaara's outburst) and continued buttering it up.

Meanwhile, Gaara pounded his way into Naruto's door and shook him violently. "Wake up dammit!!"

Naruto woke up blearily and blinked "Ne?" he answered tiredly as he affectionately rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. "What is it?"

"What is it?" Gaara said straining his voice so he wouldn't explode with anger. "This is what's wrong!" Gaara yelled as he thrusted the paper infront of Naruto's face.

Naruto studied the paper. "Oh? Sorry... Gaara the only way to get the Uchiha off my tail was to do that...if I didn't then he would've jumped out of the window with me and arrested me then and there, along with Kankuro, Sai and Kago."

Gaara paused in his long (or what was about to be long) onslaught. "O-oh...sorry...right—er well I'll just uh, leave you and let you get your rest..." Gaara said as he slowly backed out of the room, embarrassed. Naruto shrugged it off and snuggled into the bed and drifted off into sleep again.

Well that is until his cell phone rang. Naruto sighed—seeing that sleep was inevitable and plucked his cell phone up from the table and answered it. "Hullo?"

"Oh hey, Naruto it's me Mizuki. Firstly I was just calling to see if you're okay...you know from Kyuubi's attack. I never really got to see you after the attack and such." Mizuki asked in fake concern. Naruto knew he didn't care for anyone's health. He just didn't want to get fired or sued.

"Oh, I'm fine from that but uh Mizuki is it okay if I take a few days offa work?" Naruto asked.

"Oh sure, sure. But this involves the second reason why I'm calling you...will you be able to work on New Year's Eve?" Mizuki asked. Naruto blinked, "erm—I don't think I'll be sick then, I just need a couple of days. Sure I can work—what for?"

"Oh for some cop's promotion. We'll be working at one of the clubs being waiters and such..." Mizuki informed.

"Okay—where is this place, what's its name, and how long will I be there?" Naruto asked as he took a pad of paper and a pen that was conveniently on the bedside table.

"The Bordello located at 901 E 1st St Los Angeles. If you have any questions then their number is 213-687-3766. And oh, make sure you go by that Halloween Deluxe store to pick up you're costume, make sure you say 'Bordello' and they'll know what you're talking about." And with that Mizuki hung up.

Naruto stared strangely at the paper and sighed, placing his phone gently on the table. I don't think Gaara will like this one bit... Naruto thought as he tore the paper off and tucked it into his pant pocket. And settled down once more for sleep.

-6 PM: New Years Eve: Spanky Sam's Halloween Costume Deluxe-

Naruto sheepishly walked into the store he once robbed. He seriously thought that he had put this store out of business—but apparently the store owner had a family.

"Hi. How may I help you?" a voice came from behind Naruto. Causing him to jump from surprise, "Oh—I er—um—you scared me." Naruto said nervously, as he studied the girl. Her nametag said her name was 'Sasame'. But sadly enough Naruto wasn't thinking much and blurted out, "isn't Sasame a boy's name?"

Sasame giggled darkly, "Well...normally it is, how may I help you?" She added darkly.

"Um...right, uh Bordello?" Naruto said confusedly, remembering what Mizuki told him to say...

"Ah. Right this way sir." Sasame said as she led Naruto towards the back.

Naruto followed feeling slightly antsy. "S-so how did you guys ever survive the attack on this place during Halloween?"

"Easy! That was a family friend... So we weren't that affected. My cousins own this store...it's sorta a family business." Sasame chimed happily as she went behind the counter. "So your name is?"

"Uhm..." Naruto paused glancing around nervously, "N-Naruto Uzumaki."

Sasame looked at him and smiled. "Alrighty Naruto Uzumaki, what a cute name." She beamed as she headed into the backroom. Naruto looked around; the place had looked exactly like the last time he was here. Nothing really changed. Well, except for new employees.

"Here you go." Sasame said as she handed a small but heavy bag to Naruto. "Have fun tonight, theres a bathroom to the right" she smiled and headed back into the room backroom. Naruto shook his head and headed to the bathroom to change.

Thirty or forty minutes later he came out in slight disgust. He was wearing skin tight clothing. Although he didn't mind that it was skin tight, his KD uniform was skin tight. But not that low cut. Which was his outfit for tonight was.

He wore skin tight black short shorts (that ironically fit his form perfectly) which rested on his hips. His shirt sleeves came all the way down to the first knuckle on his thumb, the shirt so happened to be black and white stripes, the usual for a burglar thrown in jail. And on his face was a thin cloth with holes for the eyes cut out. Naruto felt ridiculous—but whatever got his rent paid. And with that Naruto headed out to Bordello.

-7 PM: Bordello-

"Alright, the place seems pretty cop-ified." Kakashi said happily as he sat down in a chair. He was happy that he got a room at such late notice.

Iruka nodded. "And it's always pleasant getting a few outside helpers too" Iruka paused to bow. "Thank you so much!"

"It's no problem." Mizuki said as he looked at the three helpers that were helping with this small party. Anko Mitarashi: who has no problem showing off cleavage, or dealing with drunkards. Matsuri: who was just there to help her family out of their financial problems. Ibate Morino: who was forced into going since his elder brother works with the force. And Naruto: who was not here at the moment?

As if on que the music started up with the classic 'Feel Good' by the Gorillaz. Not to mention Naruto bursting through the door. "S-Sorry!" Wait—why was he the only one in his costume?

"It's alright—Naruto didn't you read the sticky-note that was on the shirt?" Mizuki replied looking Naruto up and down, feeling a slight heat rise into his cheeks.

"It seems as the twerp didn't see it..." Anko said pulling the sticky-note off the back.

Naruto blushed slightly. "N-no wonder I was getting weirder looks..." Anko and Matsuri laughed and patted his shoulder and back.

Idate blushed furiously. "I have to wear that?!"

Mizuki nodded his head. "Yes, sadly you do...now you three go get dressed. I'll be seeing you later..." and with that Mizuki high-tailed it out of Bordello. Naruto sat down in a chair waiting for the party to begin.

Anko was the first to come out fully clothed, her costume wasn't that bad. Her boobs and hips help fill everything in. She too wore skimpy shorts, a mock LAPD shirt accompanied with a fake badge, knee-length boots, fake handcuffs, plastic nightstick, and a police hat. She looked hot; Naruto knew she was going to be the spotlight of attention...

The next person to come out was Idate. He was frowning, he hated the outfit. But it too fit him—not perfectly—but somewhat suited him. The black shorts showed off his creamy thighs. And the black and white stripes complimented his skin tone, the mask worked well with his hair too. "I feel retarded..." Idate muttered. As soon as he said that people started to pile in. Tsunade, Asuma, Gai, Ibiki, and Sakumo stood and all seemed to have gotten slightly drunk before coming here. Hinata arrived with Choji and Shino. All but two were missing.

All the older men seemed to crowed around Anko who didn't seem to mind, Naruto smiled slightly and looked at his side feeling his sleeve be tugged, "Idate? What's wrong?" Idate blushed slightly, "Uhm...I-I might be disappearing later on okay?"

Naruto blinked, he had never seen Idate so flustered before, "Okay—"

"Please, don't tell anyone okay?" Idate cut in holding one of Naruto's hands. Naruto nodded causing Idate to sigh in relief. "Thank you so much..."

It was around ten o'clock until the last person showed, Naruto had been working so hard he hadn't noticed the person and bumped into him, fortunately the drinks Naruto were carrying didn't fall of the tray—but spilled onto the person standing in the way. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Uh...um...let me get that fixed!" Naruto squeaked, luckily for him Matsuri showed by his side and took the tray from him; silently thanking her he grabbed the man and dragged him off to the closest bathroom.

Opening the door he quickly dragged the mysterious man into the lighted bathroom and out of the dark. Being able to finally see the man clearly, he gasped when he recognized the face. "S-Sasuke?" he squeaked feebly.

It took a minute for everything to finally click with the Uchiha as he looked Naruto up and down. "Hello Naruto." Sasuke was dying mentally, that outfit was seriously saying 'RIP ME OFF!' "It's nice seeing you again..." Sasuke added offhandedly.

"...thanks..." Naruto said as he busied himself in wetting a paper towel. Sasuke smirked and used that to gain the upper hand and softly pressed his lips in a chaste kiss against one of Naruto's scared cheeks.

Naruto felt the kiss but paid no attention to it, although his mind was thinking something else. He was slightly taken aback when he felt Sasuke pull away. "Well if you wet that paper towel any longer I think it'll melt away..." Sasuke said jokingly. Naruto looked down and blushed when he saw how wet the paper towel was and threw it away.

"S-sorry" he mumbled.

"It's okay...I can't feel it at all..." Sasuke said as he took his hand and brushed a few strands out of Naruto's face. Naruto blinked and before he knew it he was looking into Sasuke's deep onyx eyes. "W-work!" Naruto squeaked and pushed past whatever Sasuke was going to do to him, unfortunately for Naruto, Sasuke grabbed his arm.

"Can't let you do that..." he said softly as he pulled Naruto closer to him and kissed him softly.

Naruto inwardly sighed; he knew there was no way out of this. He was running out of options. But you make everything sound as if you hate the Uchiha. A tiny voice in Naruto's head said. I do hate him...Naruto thought. Define love and hate for me then...because your body's thinking something else. The tiny voice said again. Causing Naruto to look down and there it was...an on coming erection.

"Looks like you can't go out like that—and I'm not the type to just let you go..." Sasuke said, his mouth hovering over Naruto's ear. He could feel Sasuke's hot breath, "my place is closer..." Sasuke said seductively.

"B-buh..." Naruto said. "What about y-your party?" Naruto moaned slightly as Sasuke nipped the tender flesh.

Naruto could feel Sasuke smirk against his ear. "Not like they'll notice...and besides Naruto—nobody saw me walk in except for you and that girl." Sasuke said as he started leading Naruto out of the bathroom.

Naruto paused he knew his body wanted everything the Uchiha had to offer, but if only he was someone different. Sasuke studied Naruto's features carefully as he pulled Naruto closer to the door and into his arms. "You know you want this..." he said in a coy voice, letting his hand drop to a private place of Naruto's. Stroking and circling the hot growing flesh around the groin area.

Naruto moaned he knew he had to make a decision fast or the Uchiha would make it for him. You can't get away from him this time like you did the last—he was leaving and you were getting fit...but this is his party. A voice reasoned in Naruto's head. You're only option is to go... And plus what's not saying you won't like it?

"I-I-I'll go..." Naruto whispered. And with that, Sasuke pulled the blonde to his car as fast as he could without causing a scene; and drove off to his place.

-Uchiha Manor-

Sasuke hopped out of his car as quickly as he could defy gravity. He walked around to the passenger side and helped his blonde lover out of the car and dragged him quickly into the house. Once inside the house he quickly slammed Naruto's body against the kitchen table and smothered him in kisses. Causing the blonde to moan crazily.

Naruto quickly slid his arms around Sasuke's neck, while Sasuke nipped Naruto's lip to gain entrance. Naruto opened his mouth and let the Uchiha kiss him senseless. Sasuke, being the ever so horny Uchiha nipped and sucked on Naruto's tongue, while clashing around the wet cavern. Obviously what he was doing the blonde replied in soft delicate moans.

Sasuke smirked as he lifted the blonde off the table, better move this to my room before anybody comes home... Sasuke thought as he dragged the sultry blonde off to his room.

Once in Sasuke's room, Sasuke turned to the door and closed it. Turning his attention to Naruto he latched himself onto him and smothered him in more kisses, causing the blonde to make soft delicate sounds.

Sasuke ran his hands under Naruto's supposed "burglar" shirt as he tempted the blonde's noises even more by playing with his nipples, whilst his mouth worked on Naruto's neck. Naruto moaned and withered underneath Sasuke, as he started taking Naruto's clothing off little by little.

Naruto was soon stripped of almost everything except for his boxers. He laid there on the bed panting, as Sasuke slid off him in search for something. Quickly finding it he turned around to the blonde and stared.

He had to admit, the blonde was pretty damn hot. What with all the muscles that flexed delicately when he moved. The silky sun-kissed blonde hair that even seemed to shine and shimmer in the moonlight. The blonde's eyes. Everything popped out at the Uchiha as he stepped out of his pants and discarded his shirt to the messy pile on the floor.

He then slid back onto the blonde, and slowly but surely, slid the delicate boxers off. Naruto gasped when he felt the cold air whip when his boxers were pulled off. Sasuke smirked when he found the blonde underneath him slightly shivering; he won't be cold for long...he thought seductively.

And with that Sasuke laid tender kisses on the blonde's collarbone. Tweaking and perking Naruto's nipples, causing him to moan loudly.

"A-ah—S-sasu-Sasuke!" The British mumbled delicately.

Sasuke smirked and found the will to move on, as he stuck fingers into Naruto's mouth. Who happily sucked at them; while the ever persistent Uchiha continued making Naruto happy, sucking and grinding against Naruto.

The blonde moaned and nipped at the fingers that were inside his mouth, Sasuke, feeling the twitch in the lower regions of his body slid the hand out and gently worked at Naruto's butt.

"S-Sasuke?" Naruto's voice quivered. As he felt the fingers slid in delicately. "Wh-what are you doing?" He asked, tilting his head up as far as he could to glance at what Sasuke was doing.

"You'll find out..." Sasuke murmured. Was the blonde really a virgin? He thought as he stretched Naruto.

Naruto laid there quietly, a little bit frightened. He was going to be doing it with the main cop that wanted to put him in jail. The main cop that has made his life miserable. What would Gaara say? He thought thinking the possibilities. Well, he couldn't be too mad, after all Gaara screwed the cop's older brother for almost an entire year. Naruto was to busy thinking about the aftermath of this one night stand, that he didn't even see Sasuke prepping his manhood.

Naruto cringed when he felt something slide into him. It was a rather unpleasant feeling. And it slightly hurt him somewhat. But, oddly enough, it felt a little good.

Naruto whimpered as he looked down, seeing Sasuke's length in his butt. It hurt, it hurt a lot.

Sasuke looked down at the blonde who was in pain. How could he have forgotten? This was the blonde's first time doing anything intimate. The blonde probably felt like he was being sliced in half. "Don't worry, the pain will subside soon." Sasuke said as he forced himself not to move his hips; in fear that he would hurt the blonde even more.

As soon as Naruto felt comfortable with the pain, he looked up at Sasuke; who in turn smiled and thrusted into the blonde even more. Naruto moaned suddenly when something hit inside of him. "T-That—do—again." He begged softly. The feeling was lurid.

"Alright." Sasuke said smugly as he continued to hit Naruto's prostate, causing the blonde to let slip a chorus of moans. The blonde's back arched as Sasuke kept thrusting in and out of him.

"Hnnn" the blonde mewled as he thrusted his own erection at the raven's stomach, causing him to look down. Sasuke smirked, as he picked up the blonde's manhood into his hands and began to pump it slowly, with each thrust.

"S-S-Sasuke!" Naruto squeaked. "Q-quit teasing me!"

Sasuke smirked, as his thumb slowly caressed the slit of Naruto's dick. Smirking inwardly as he felt pre-cum drip out; taking the chance to thrust into Naruto harder.

"S-S-SASUKE!" Naruto moaned as he released.

Sasuke couldn't take it. It was either the clamped walls surrounding his penis, or hearing the one that he was infatuated with, yell his name out in a passionate cry; he released, spilling his seed deep inside Naruto.


Anonymous Saru: So, I'm sorry that I haven't updated for a while. I'm alive. I just, haven't had time to sit down and write. I've had homework and stupid stuff like Friday night football games.

Naruto: (blushing) That and you didn't want to write our lemon with your parents and family behind you.

Anonymous Saru: That too...

Sasuke: Hnnn...but yes, please take in mind that she's sorry, about our OOC-ness, and horrible lemon (or what she thinks is horrible)

Anonymous Saru: Yes, but please don't think that I'm not forgetting this story, I'm not actually, I'm taking time on what I want to do with the plot in this, since Kishimoto finally revealed Naruto's parents name's.

Kakashi: Yes, so, here you go! Enjoy this suspenseful filled chapter!

Anonymous Saru and Co.: PS HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Kiba: JSYK (Just So You Know) Kanae's going to be taking some time in editing the intermission part of the story, which is the "Be Mine" chapter.

Haku: And oh! JSYK: the Bordello is an actual place, Kanae did her research! And also the address and number is real too, so please don't call that, or you really will be talking to somebody who works there.

Itachi: But, Sasuke's and Obito's cell phone numbers were completely made up by a selection of random numbers...so don't call that either...who knows who you'll be talking too...

Idate: (blush) yeah, don't ask what kanae was attempting to write where I was talking to Naruto about not saying anything about me dissapearing...she will not comment about it, if you ask... (sweatdrop)

Kisame: cookies to whoever can figure out what me and Itachi were doing...
