Chapter 10

So sorry! Hope you'll like this chapter!

"Well what did you what to talk about?"

The Magic within You

Sasuke raked his fingers though his hair, while Naruto gave him a quizzical look. "Sasuke?" Sasuke snapped out of whatever was holding him, "What's wrong Sasuke?" asked Naruto, Sasuke shook his head and whispered "Not here…follow me" Naruto nodded and took Sasuke's hand.

He frowned when he felt Sasuke tense. "Sasuke…are you sure you're all right?" Sasuke's grip tightened "I…don't know…"

MAGIC

"Why do you think Master had to talk to Naruto?" asked Ino, fixing a clip in Sakura's hair, she stood back examining her work.

"Maybe Naruto's in trouble?" said Sakura fiddling with the dragonfly clip, earning a slap from the blonde concubine.

"I don't think so…a-at lest I hope not" piped Hinata, Ino turned to her, smiling evilly, "You like him don't you?" Hinata turned tomato red, "W-what! N-no Ino I-I don't"

Sakura smirked "Face it Hinata you have the hots for our new caretaker"

"N-no I-I think…I think I l-love him" she said quietly, Ino scoffed "How could you?"

"Tsk-tsk, tut-tut, love at first sight Ino" Sakura said, poking the blonde with her index finger.

"I guess…that's what happened to me and Master! We fell for each other once our eyes locked!" Ino said in a wistful voice.

"No way! He fell in love with me!" Hinata rolled her eyes at the fight the other two par-took in at lest she might just be able to steal her love's heart.

"Hey forehead I have an idea" Sakura fumed at the nickname but listened to Ino anyway, "How about we follow Master and Naruto?"

"Why?"

"Well we could separate them and get Master to ourselves and little Hinata gets Blondie" Sakura gave this little thought before nodding, "Come on Hinata"

Hinata looked up for her daydream, "Where?" Ino grabbed their thin coats while Sakura took Hinata's hand and lead them out of the door, Hinata's eyes widened "No. no! You two i-if the Blood Lord finds o-out!"

Sakura put her finger to Hinata's lips, "Now, now…if your quite he won't know"

"And besides…some rules were made to be broken Hinata so lighten up ok?" piped Ino grabbing both the concubines hands running out the door, "Now lets find your lover" chirped Sakura.

Hinata blushed "He is not my…lover" she whispered in weak protest.

"Yet" Ino said cheekily. The women ran swiftly down the empty corridor, looking out for the caretaker, a flash of blonde graced their eyes, along with verses of low whispers. Found them.

Ino and Sakura's heart skipped a beat looking at their beloved Master, while Hinata blushed at the sight of her new found love. They weren't far from the two men, but the words were still hard to understand, the three perform a simple charm to magnify their hearing, the words became clear, "Sasuke where are you taking me?"

"Somewhere special to me…I hope you like it Naruto" the concubine shuddered at the sound of Sasuke's voice, as cold as ice, as soft as silk. They felt themselves smiling when the witch beamed at their vampire Master. Naruto let himself be whisked away by Sasuke, the women each curious in their own way decided to follow the strange couple.

MAGIC

Sasuke could hear the thundering heart beats of the concubine a mile away; he has to get Naruto and himself somewhere safe to disuse what they were doing with each other. Ducking quickly behind a corner he pushed Naruto flush against himself, muttering a few incantations they disappeared in an inferno of midnight flame.

Sasuke opened his eyes, looking around the garden with his vampiric eyes, lovingly nicknamed the 'sharingan' by his elders.

"What the hell was that? And where the flaming hell are we?" asked the ever blunt Naruto,

"Well I transported us to my special place"

"Special place? You make it sound like you're talking about your freaking penis!" Sasuke chuckled at that statement, Naruto must be the most bipolar person he had ever meet, one minute he is happy to see you the next he is yelling at you…strange.

"Come on moron" said Sasuke walking off into the dark abyss of the rose garden, Naruto huffed, "You know full well that I can't see in the fucking dark bastard!"

Naruto let out a small squeak as strong arms embraced him from behind, "the let me be your only light in this starless night" Naruto rolled his eyes. "Honesty Sasuke"

Sasuke chuckled and nipped at Naruto's ear, making the witch's breath hitch. "Sasuke bastard! What if someone sees?"

"Who would Naruto? We are in an abandoned garden, even the Blood Lord does not dare set foot here" said Sasuke, kissing a blazing trail down Naruto's neck.

"Why?" asked Naruto between gasps of air, wow. Sasuke sure was talented.

"This is my place…my sanctuary…" Naruto twisted in Sasuke's grip coming face to face, even though Naruto could not see the look on Sasuke's face he could tell that something was haunting the vampire, Naruto moved his hand to cup Sasuke's cheek,

"Sasuke what's wrong?" not a answer moved from those pale lips, Naruto frowned and asked again, "Bastard you better tell me or I am leaving" Sasuke seemed to snap out of his trance.

Lips descended on his, Naruto was caught a little of guard but quickly responded, opening his mouth for Sasuke to sample, he felt Sasuke's tongue travel over every bit of his mouth, stopping to lap at his inner cheeks, Sasuke gently prodded at Naruto's tongue asking it to play, Naruto's arms snaked upward to wrap around Sasuke's neck. Fingers getting lost in the dark as night hair, Naruto's tongue softy collided with Sasuke's sending shivers down both the vampire and witch's spines, Sasuke moved his hands resting one on the nape of Naruto's neck the other on the small of the blonde's back. Naruto let out a small moan as Sasuke took his tongue into the sinful mouth and bean to suck on it.

Naruto pulled back slightly, needing to breath, but Sasuke seemed unfazed, the vampire began kissing, nipping and sucking at the witch's neck, earning small moans and rough tugs at his hair, "Sasuke not…ahh…now p-please" gasped Naruto, Sasuke growled and nipped harshly at the blonde's neck, making Naruto yelped battering the vampire away, glaring into what he hoped was Sasuke's eyes.

"Why?" Sasuke snapped, standing tall in the darkness, looking into his intended's eyes, a blue that sparkled with anger and regret, "Because it's not you…now could you cast a charm, spell or whatever to let me see you?" Naruto asked.

Crossing his arms and pouting, Sasuke did as he was told, clicking his fingers creating candles in mid air, upon the floating candles danced bright flames, each as black as the last, lyrics of songs began to whisper is his ears, why did every thing in this world remind him of a song? Either filled with remorse, love or screaming of bloody murder?

Naruto looked around the darkly lighted garden, dying roses, withered on their browning stalks, leaves black and rotting. A single swing rocking slowly, it was white, beautifully covered in ivy and climbing roses that had long since died. Naruto looked at Sasuke unsure of what to say…just like everything else in and around the castle would have once been breathtaking.

"So this is your place huh…it would of once been lovely" the vampire nodded and said,

"Yeah…when I was young my mother would take me here…push me on that swing…I used to pretend I was a eagle or a simple knighting gale…free from bonds"

"What do you mean Sasuke?" asked Naruto slowly walking over to the rusted swing, sitting on the seat not expecting Sasuke to start pushing him gently.

"You really want to know?' asked Sasuke, memories of his past whispered and danced around him, the vampire didn't want to relive them…but he would if Naruto asked.

"Yeah…"

"Fine but you have to tell me about yourself after"

Naruto turned his head and smiled, "Of course bastard my story could beat yours any day" Sasuke raised a slender brow,

"Really? Well alright…well my mother was a concubine to the king…from what I remember she was beautiful, hair as dark as the raven's feathers, eyes the colour of dusk. She was a favorite of the king, she loved him with all her heart…I guess that made it hard for her to accept that he had a wife, my mother was also betrothed to a witch of high statues as well, they never felt anything other then sibling love. So he allowed her to continue to please the king, this though made the king's wife green eyed, once her son was born she forever whispered veil things about my mother in his ears.

"my mother's betrothed lived in the castle as well, he was kind to my mother…he was I love with somebody as wellmother never meet her but it was said she was angel, I don't if she really was seeing as though it is highly unlikely or if that she was as breathtaking as one. Anyway when my mother found that she was pregnant with me, she let him use it as an excuse to leave with his own lover. I never saw him again."

Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, "And…what happened next?"

Sasuke smirked as he continued, "mother raised me…I was treated well, respected and acknowledged as the king's second born, I was happy"

Sasuke stopped, thinking of what to say next, Naruto stopped swinging preferring to listen to the hypnotic voice then the rusting chains of the ivy covered swing.

"I once respected Itachi…I actually thought of him as a real brother…what a fool I was, once I was bonded to him, he killed them all…the friends I had, our father, his mother and he…he…he used the blood magic to force me to kill my mother I…I can still hear her telling me it was ok that she loved me…I was alone after that…doing as Itachi told me…living like the soulless creature I am, a puppet, a slave to blood. Nothing but a shadow…until I meet you…"

Naruto smiled and deadpanned "Sasuke you are cheesy you know that?" Sasuke let out a laughed and lent down for a sweet kiss,

"Yeah but only with you" Naruto smiled wider twisting the swings chains to spin around.

"You know…apart for having to hide this I don't think I'll mind living here"

Sasuke stopped his movements, holding the rusty chains in place, so Naruto was facing him, Sasuke lent down placing a soft kiss on the witch's lips. "Now tell me about yourself"

Naruto pouted, he wanted another kiss but he did promise…"Alright…it's not as…well messed up as yours but ok, since I was four I had lived with man Iruka, he from what I remember was really kind to me, unlike the other people that I meet. But because he worked as a full time teacher I was taken away from him…the only person to show me love. Heh then I was put into the foster care system, I jumped from home to home, strange things always happened around me when I got mad, I soon became known as the 'demon' so stupid but hey what can you do?

"Anyway when I was old enough I left and traveled, but the war had hit the humans hard, half the world destroyed…and as you know most of it belongs to your kind, so I stayed in Tokyo it was fun, crowed so when strange things happened to me I was safe."

Naruto scratched the back of his head and continued, "Then I was caught, tried for witchcraft and landed myself here…but I am glad…I never have meet you if I was actually careful of what I did" Naruto let out a soft laugh, it sounded like silver bells chiming with the summer breeze, absolutely beautiful to Sasuke's ears.

"Come on Naruto lets get back inside…you might get sick if you stay out to late" Naruto scoffed,

"Yeah right, you're just afraid of the dark" Sasuke raised an elegant brow at this, "Me? A vampire afraid of the dark?"

Naruto smiled and moved in front of Sasuke, "Why not? I mean you can't be as manly as you pretend"

Sasuke smirked leaning down to whisper in Naruto's ear, "I could show you just how 'manly' I am of you want" Naruto squeaked and blushed as Sasuke's hand gave a firm grope to his backside. "Sasuke!" the vampire only smirked and walked off, knowing Naruto would follow, who would want to stay out in the middle of the night in a place where people were murdered?

MAGIC

Ino, Hinata and Sakura made their way back to their quarters, dragging their feet with every doll like step. Sakura was pissed at Naruto…the boy will have hell to pay!

Ino was not quite as mad as her floral headed counterpart, while Hinata just settled on being miserable, why would Naruto drop everything to run after Master Uchiha…she sighed, well the blonde boy knew Master the longest so that could be why.

A small gasp fell from her lips; she could have sworn that she just saw…no impossible Master Uchiha and Naruto? Together? The idea was not only laughable but forbidden as well. "Uh…Ino? We have to head back quickly" whispered Hinata, hurrying her slow pace.

The other concubine gave her a strange look, "Why?" they asked in unison.

"Because w-we just have to g-get there before Naruto does" Ino made an 'Oh' noise while Sakura grabbed both Hinata's hand and the dumbfounded blonde.

"Well move your fat asses!"

Ino huffed indignantly "my ass is not fat!"

Sakura turned her head and said, "Says you! You're not the one getting an eyeful of it while you dress yourself up asking us if it does look fat!"

Hinata only rolled her eyes, honesty, were these women five?

MAGIC

Sasuke moved his arms to rest around Naruto hips, allowing Naruto's arms to fall around his neck; a slow deep kiss is all they shared in the shadow of the hell crafted castle. Sasuke wanted Naruto to stay, Naruto didn't want to move from the sweet embrace, but any longer and people would start looking for their Master and the concubine's keeper.

So they parted, reluctantly but they left whispering sweet promises of another union. The vampire watched the back of his lover, smiling softly at the term lover. Sasuke decided to thank the concubines for forcing Naruto to wear the kimonos, they made him look less clumsy and much more graceful, the boy was simply beautiful Sasuke liked how the kimono swayed and shimmered as Naruto's hips moved, and to the smitten Vampire it was simply mesmerizing.

Sasuke stayed until the witch was out of sight, the Dark one made a fluid movement with his hands, calling up his common departure, flames as darks as night's wings lapped at his sides slowly dancing their way around his strong body until there was not a trace of vampire nor demonic flame.

MAGIC

Naruto walked into his chamber, a small, plain room attached to the concubine's quarters, he sighed wistfully, humming a song that had been stuck in his head since the candles were lighted with Sasuke's magic, "Dark light, come shine in her lost heart tonight, and blind, all fears that haunt her with you smile…"

The hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, he stopped singing and turned and came face to face with two mad concubines and one blushing Hinata. "What's all that about huh?" screeched Sakura, grabbing Naruto's arm roughly

"And that song too!" yelled Ino reaching for the other arm, Naruto was honesty worried, these were not only women but creatures of magical persuasion, these people are not to be messed with.

Harsh yanks almost dislocating his arms awoken something primal in Naruto, a great surge of power coiled though out the witch's body, knocking the three concubines to the ground, raw power pranced around Naruto, lapping at his sides and licking his face.

Sakura's eyes widened, it was pure white in colour…nothing, and not even angels had that much white energy. 'What is he?' she thought.

MAGIC

Sasuke stopped in mid-step, 'What the hell was that?' he thought, the surge of power had almost knocked him over, "Naruto" he breathed, he could feel the witch's essence beckoning him to the blonde, whispering for him to come, curling it's white tendrils around his body. Something was wrong.

Sasuke didn't feel like wasting time by calling up hell's flames instead he ran, vampire's are naturally stronger, smarter and faster than any other creature be it man or magical, they are able to make impossible feats come within reach.

Sasuke made some quick hand movements as he ran; the vampire felt the need to get there faster, calling on the silver-wind to make him run as fast as the gods of wind. Thus making him invisible to the naked eye.

He flung open the concubines door, stopping in shock, the silver-wind began to settle over his body, "Naruto?" he asked quietly, looking in disbelief at each of the concubines, and each was in a state of primitive defense.

The dryad Ino had flowers twirling around her, the flower of her birth, cosmos flowers. Sakura in the typical banshee fashion tried to look dangerous, eyes glowing like acid, nails long and sharp and her hair once short and tame was now long and wild. Little Hinata, a nymph would have an animal with they would relate to, for Hinata it must have been moths. She had over a hundred of moths, each soft purple in colour, circling around her. Typical, moths are just as beautiful as butterflies, just not as keen to show it.

Cold fear griped at Sasuke's heart, "Where's Naruto?" he repeated louder this time, Sakura let out a cold and bitter laugh and said,

"Why do you only care only for him and never for us?" Sasuke ignored her and walked off into the darker parts of the room. There he was. Naruto was hiding in a corner weeping softly, "Naruto…" whispered Sasuke, crouching down next to the crying blonde.

"I am sorry…I did it again…I am sorry" whispered Naruto, the boys deep blue eyes were clouded with a haunting past, Sasuke couldn't watch, "Naruto snap out of it!" whispered Sasuke harshly, Naruto looked up at him, cheeks tear stained and eyes red.

"Sasuke?" Naruto questioned.

"Yes?"

"You don't think I am a m-monster do you?" asked Naruto, tears brimming once more in those stunning eyes, Sasuke didn't care that the concubines were watching, he pulled Naruto into a warm hug, whispering in his ear,

"No…I could never think that of you Naruto never" Naruto let out a sob, grabbing onto Sasuke as if the vampire was his lifeline.

Sakura was dumbfounded, Ino shocked and Hinata heartbroken. The nymph could feel something powerful between the two…but it wasn't fair, "Why are they hugging Ino?" asked Sakura,

Ino replied with, "Maybe they are closer friends then we thought" Ino nodded to herself, yep. That was why they were hugging so tightly and whispering sweet things to one another because they were really good friends. Sakura nodded, convincing herself of that as well. Hinata bit back sobs and pretended to go along with what the others were saying, even though her heart was telling her that it was wrong, they were something more then simple friends, something deeper and much more powerful.

MAGIC

Itachi frowned at the surge but dismissed it, it was probably just the witch getting used to his powers, Itachi idly flicked off nonexistent dust from his shirt. He made his way down to the temple to see Hidan.

The Blood Lord ripped open the doors to the temple, blowing out sacrificial candles as he walked by, the damn nymph was at work again, candles symbolizing gods of light and happiness littered the area, he knew that worshipping gods other then the Blood Lord meant death, but the nymph never listened, the man will pay for his deceit.

"Ah…lord I see that you are here" said Hidan, stepping over the candles, "What did you call me for Hidan?"

"To inform you that stage one has been completed and that the nymph has left the castle"

Itachi brow raised, "Really…well he won't be missed"

"Don't you wan to find him?" asked Hidan.

"Nope…I want the second stage started" Hidan shook his head, "No can do you have to wait"

"Fine" Itachi snarled out, walking away for the temple.

MAGIC

"Come on Naruto you're not staying here" whispered Sasuke picking the boy up bridal style, Naruto only nodded moving his head deeper into the vampire's chest.

"Master Uchiha! Where are you taking him?" asked Ino, the flowers long since vanished.

"To my chamber he needs proper attention" with that Sasuke left with Naruto sleeping in his arms.

"Why on earth is he doing that for Naruto?" asked Sakura, brushing her now short hair from her face.

"They h-have a bond" squeaked Hinata, watching sadly as her moths disappeared in shimmers of purple dust, "I wonder what type though…" said Ino, taking her kimono off in favor of a night gown.

"I think they are just really good friends" said Sakura as both her and Hinata did the same as Ino, Hinata shook her head as she got into her scratchy bed, digging her head into the hard pillow.

"Maybe…" Ino said with a little uncertainty as she fell on her bed, "Night" Sakura said, snuggling into the thin covers, "Night" Ino murmured, Hinata said nothing to lost in her thoughts, why was Master Uchiha acting that way towards Naruto? And why did Naruto let him? Before she could of sworn that she imagined the sight of Master Uchiha and Naruto in a passionate and loving embrace, but now she was not so sure that it was just an over active imagination.

But Master Uchiha knows what well happen with them if they are caught so why do it in the first place? Something Ino said came to mind 'some rules were made to be broken Hinata so lighten up ok?' maybe this rule against the same sex couples was just one of those rules…she sighed deeply, but it really hurt to think that Naruto was happier with somebody other then herself.

MAGIC

Sasuke looked at the blonde who was sleeping in his bed, Sasuke could have sworn to high heaven that the boy was an angel, he was beautiful in everyway, and Sasuke really couldn't find anything he didn't love about him.

Sasuke stopped to think…love? Could that be what he felt for Naruto? Infatuation yes…but love? Maybe…but he had not known Naruto for long, but his mother always told him to believe in 'love at first sight' maybe love was the feeling that he felt for the witch…but love seemed like such a contradicting word, it seems too strong yet too weak at the same time.

Sasuke shook his head, gods it was confusing, he smiled softly, stroking the cheeks of the blonde angel that graced him with his presents. Sasuke bent down giving the witch a small, tender kiss on the temple.

"Sleep well moron…for tomorrow will always be worse" he whispered, his soft voice filled with melancholy, Naruto shifted slightly but fell back into his dream land with a small smile carved into his face.

Sasuke considered sleeping next to Naruto but it would look suspicious if he did, he reluctantly moved himself off the bed but he only got half way due to the fact that Naruto's arms were holding him down, "Please stay Sasuke" said Naruto, resting his head on Sasuke's back.

"But is we are caught" Naruto nuzzled his head further into Sasuke's night shirt, "It doesn't matter does it?" asked Naruto clutching tighter.

"Fine…I'll stay" he whispered, undoing Naruto's hands from him and placing butterfly kisses on them.

"Thanks" Naruto murmured as Sasuke pushed him into the bed.

"Welcome" Sasuke whispered, lying along side of the witch, Naruto turned to his side so he could face Sasuke, blushing at the fact they were in bed together.

"What's wrong Naruto?"

"Nothing Sasuke nothing at all" Sasuke frowned slightly but settled on kissing Naruto's lips rather than questioning further, Naruto opened his lips for Sasuke as the vampire nipped at his lips, letting the vampire claim his mouth, Naruto let out a mewl as Sasuke playful nipped at his tongue, as they parted Naruto watch Sasuke in fascination.

The vampire's eyes were glowing a faint red but there was nothing evil or bad in the eyes…just a content and loving look. Naruto blushed as Sasuke straddled his waist holding his hands above his head; Naruto was now completely helpless against Sasuke's will. Sasuke kept both of Naruto's hands trapped with one of his own, while his other hand trailed down the slender arms, stopping at tanned cheeks stroking at the whisker marks, Sasuke traced the scares with his lips making the boy beneath him shudder.

"Sasuke we have to stop" Naruto gasped out, eyelids growing heavy with each intoxicating kiss that was placed on his skin, it felt like the vampire was worshipping the witch skin, body and heart. "Very well Naruto" Sasuke bit out giving the boy on last kiss before rolling off him.

Naruto curled up next to the vampire, nuzzling the hard flesh of Sasuke's taut chest. A purring sound escaped Naruto as Sasuke wrapped his arms around his smaller body. They lay there whispering sweet nothings to each other, telling stories and finally they fell asleep in each others arms with one question floating within their minds, 'Do I love him?"
