Chapter 11: The Feelings
Itachi watched from above the trees of the forest at Naruto whom was currently meditating in a clearing at a little ways from the hideout. For over two hours today Naruto has been trying to concentrate on gaining control and connecting with his new awesome power but it seemed he just couldn't get the hang of it quite yet. Not only was it hot, but patience wasn't something Naruto was entirely accustomed to and he knew he would never be but if he didn't learn how to gain some control on his new awesome power now then he never would be able to fight or use jutsu with a leveled power anytime soon. And everyone new Naruto loved to fight!
"Nothing's working!" Naruto yelled in frustration.
"You just need to have a little more patience is all, Naruto-kun." Naruto growled and glared up at the elder Uchiha from above who was cooly sitting and watching him with a soft gaze.
"Easy for you to say; You're Mr. Patience!" Itachi chuckled at the nickname.
"I wouldn't say I have that much patience. . .Alright let's try this. What's your favorite thing in the world?" Naruto grinned.
"Ramen!" Itachi smiled at the mention of ramen still being Naruto's favorite thing from all those years ago.
"Then just picture ramen while you meditate and see how you do." With a deep breath Naruto closed his eyes, put his hands together and got back into a comfortable meditating position. He tried to focus for what felt like the thousandth time that day and thought about delicious ramen. In the end he ended up growling in frustration and embarrassment. Maybe it's not that he couldn't focus but rather he couldn't help the fact that Itachi was watching him. . .The elder Uchiha hasn't been making Naruto feel like himself lately and he wasn't liking it one bit. And if he stayed any longer he knew Itachi might catch on that he couldn't focus because of him then tease him about it later! He had to make his escape now before he embarrassed himself any further.
"Well I think I'm gonna call it a day. See you at dinner Itachi!" Naruto said as he quickly stood up and tried to make his escape.
Itachi gracefully jumped down from the trees and slowly walked until he was completely behind Naruto, then grabbed his waist with a gentle grip. Naruto shuddered at the contact and looked at Itachi from over his shoulder.
"What are you so afraid of Naruto-kun?" Naruto gulped and blushed at the close proximity he and Itachi were in.
"N-Nothing. . .Uh. . .do you mind moving?" Itachi smoothly chuckled in his ear which sent shivers all over his body.
"Alright, I'll leave you alone for now Naruto-kun. In the meantime I have to go on my mission now so don't do anything drastic until I get back." Itachi nuzzled into Naruto and inhaled his scent. Naruto bit his lip so he wouldn't make any embarrassing noises and slowly nodded his head. With a poof Naruto was all by himself in the forest clearing and silently crushed at the now gone Uchiha.
Why did the older male have such a positive effect on him? Naruto knew he shouldn't be thinking the shameful thoughts he was thinking at the moment. He felt ashamed that he felt himself falling for the very man that killed his best friend's whole entire family, but the feelings and thoughts of the elder Uchiha and him together just felt so right. . .
"If Sasuke knew about this. . ." With a deep sigh Naruto shook his head and made his way back towards the hideout before someone thought he was trying to run away. What he didn't notice was a clay bird in the trees watching his every move. . .
...
"Your kidding me right?" Naruto shook his head as Deidara bursted out laughing about a prank Naruto had pulled on Kakashi long time ago.
"Nope!"
"So he automatically thought it was you and didn't think twice that Sasuke and Sakura were in it . . .yeah?" Naruto nodded his head and sighed.
"Anytime we pulled a prank on him together he always yelled at me even though Sakura and Sasuke were in it too! Then again I was known as Konoha's number one prankster back in the day!" Deidara bursted out laughing once more as Naruto smiled at the laughing older blond. It was times like this where he actually enjoyed being at the hideout.
It's been almost two weeks since he was captured and to say he wasn't enjoying his time here wasn't entirely a lie. With each passing day he always did something with one of the Akatsuki members, mainly Deidara, and he got to know them better little by little. Like the other day, he found out Kisame liked to eat fish! Hidan had made a joke about 'eating is own family' and the two argued nonstop about it for hours. The argument reminded him of how him and Kiba use to argue all the time weather it was about girls or who was stronger!
It was almost like even though everyone here was different and an outcast they learned to except and live with each other and that's mainly why Naruto liked it here so much. He felt like he could be himself and actually felt safe for once. The fact the he felt he was safer with the enemy took him by surprise a lot of the time and he actually considered staying here rather than returning home at points. He felt more accepted here than he ever has in the village that is so called 'peaceful' and 'harmless'. Just thinking about the village now filled his hatred for it even more. The people there were more like monsters than human beings in his mind more than anything else. . .
"Hey Naruto. . .Naruto snap out of it. . .yeah?!" Deidara continued snapping his fingers in the younger blond's face until he got his attention back fully on him. Naruto blinked and looked at the other with a blank stare.
"What is it Dei-kun?" Deidara scoffed.
"You went all silent on me for a couple of minutes while I was talking to you and had a zoned-out look on your face. Are you okay...yeah?" Naruto slowly nodded his head.
"Yeah. . .Im good. I was just thinking about a couple of things that's all." Deidara tilted his head.
"Like what? Is it about your friends?"
"Sorta of. I don't know Dei, it's like I miss them but at the same time I don' t want to see their faces because if I do they'll try to take me back to Konoha and. . . I actually don't want to return back to that God awful place." Deidara was a bit taken back by Naruto's statement and gave him a sympathetic look. To Naruto's surprise Deidara laced their fingers and leaned in close to him.
"I know exactly how you feel Naruto." He began, all the while rubbing smooth circles on Naruto's hand with his thumb which seemed to comfort the younger one a bit. "I wasn't entirely treated right by my village either. They treated me like shit. . .yeah. I had no one to call family and I was usually picked on because of my feminine looks. When I would try to defend myself the other adults would get angry and do horrible things to me, but as I got older I guess things started to get better. When I turned sixteen that's when the Akatsuki came to get me and for these past five years I've actually enjoyed my time being here. And now that your here. . .Well I don't know what it is but you make me happy Naruto. . .yeah." Naruto was speechless and the only thing he could do at the moment was stare at Deidara. He was so shocked that he didn't notice Deidara inching closer and closer to his lips.
"Stay with me Naruto. . .Yeah." The two were so close that Deidara's lips were touching his and Naruto didn't hesitate to move whatsoever. But then thoughts of Itachi entered his mind and he pulled away from Deidara, altought he kept his hand under his.
"I'm sorry Deidara but I just can't." Deidara growled and squeeze Naruto's hand to the point where Naruto yelped in pain. Naruto quickly retreated his hand back and noticed there was a bruise beginning to form on it.
"What so great about that damn Uchiha that is better than me huh. . .yeah!?" Naruto stared at Deidara in fear and tried to back away from him, but Deidara grabbed for his hand again and squeezed it harder.
"Ow! N-Nothing Dei-kun. . .Why are you acting like this?! You're hurting me!" Deidara glared at Naruto and pulled him close to his chest. He grabbed his chin roughly so they could be eye level with each other and prepared himself to kiss Naruto, but looking into his eyes he realized Naruto was scared and that he was hurting the younger male. He let go of him and noticed a black bruise that now was formed on Naruto's hand. He gasped in horror and took a step back. Deidara knew he let his anger get the best of him and ended up hurting Naruto as the end result.
"Naruto im sor-" Just then the sound of a door opening was heard, followed by the sound of someone groaning in pain.
Naruto, Deidara and some of the other Akatsuki members came into the hallway just in time to see what all the commotion was about. Kisame was covered in blood but it wasn't his own while his Shamehada was drizzling and stained in whoever's blood. Meanwhile Itachi's left side of his body was soaked in crimson red and part of his Akatsuki robe was torn off.
"Itachi!?" Naruto raced up to him and held his injured arm with gentle care. The wound on his arm was deep and to the point where you could see bits of white bone and muscle.
"I'm fine Naruto-kun." Itachi tired to reassure him.
"No your not!" He turned to Kisame with a desperate look. "What happened to him?!" Kisame cracked his neck and sighed.
"Some damn rouge ninja surprise attacked us and one of them had a bomb. We killed all of them but one of them must have messed with Itachi's blind spot and got him, but he'll be okay kid." Itachi glared at his partner while Kisame shrugged and walked past him and to his room.
"Naru-" Before he could say another word Naruto rushed him back to his room and locked the door.
"Naruto-kun plea-" Naruto glared at Itachi with fury in his eyes.
"Shut up and stay still dammit! Sit down and let me fix you up!" Without and single word Itachi slowly sat down on his bed and watched as Naruto took out a first aid kit from the bathroom. He removed his robe all the way off and held up his injured arm up for Naruto. Naruto grimaced at the wound as Itachi sighed. He didn't want Naruto to see him like this. . .
"Let's wash the blood off of you first so I can clean it up better." Naruto led Itachi to bathroom, turned on the sink with extra hot water and stuck Itachi's arm in the steamy sink. He grabbed a red washcloth and began to removed as much blood as he could. Surprisingly Itachi didn't flinch at the extremely hot water that was rushing down his arm and silently waited for Naruto to finish his work.
Once Naruto was done with that he led Itachi back to his bed and opened the first aid kit. The first thing he did was get out some antibiotics and alcohol. He gave Itachi a sympathetic look before pouring some alcohol on the washcloth and dabbing it on Itachi's wound. Itachi flinched but that was it as Naruto continued to work on him. After that was done Naruto reach for a needle and black thread. He hurriedly attached the thread to the needle and began to sow Itachi's wound and skin together. As soon as that was done he solely focused all of his attention on wrapping Itachi's wound with white bandages with gentle care and nothing else. The other gave him and impassive look as he did so.
"There done!" Naruto finished with an accomplished look on his face.
The fact that the young blond was so concerned over his well-being was a big turn on for the elder Uchiha, but just as Naruto retreated his hands away he noticed something and grabbed one of Naruto's hands. Naruto yelped in pain as Itachi inspected his bruised hand.
"Who did this to you?" Naruto shrugged.
"No on-" Itachi squeezed Naruto's hand.
"Don't lie to me." Naruto shivered in fear as he witness black eyes turn into red ones. Itachi was already injured and he didn't want to cause the Uchiha anymore stress.
"Honestly Itachi it was no one. I was just. . .Meditating and hurt myself." Itachi knew Naruto was lying but he didn't dwell on it and kissed Naruto's bruised hand. Naruto blushed at the gesture and without a second thought kissed Itachi's own injured arm.
Itachi felt I something in him snap the moment his eyes locked with Naruto's. All these emotions from when he was an ANBU way back a few years ago felt like they were about to explode at that very moment. The temptation the grab Naruto and fuck him senseless was all too hard for him to hold back and at the moment all he wanted to do was claim Naruto as his and only his. Abruptly, he stood up from the bed and grabbed the other's waist with his bandaged arm.
"What are you doing Itachi? Your injured for kami's sake!" Naruto blushed when he realized just how close Itachi really was and blinked. Itachi pulled him into his chest and grabbed his chin with his good hand to level their faces; red eyes clouded with lust.
"No more. . ." Naruto tilted his head in confusion.
"No more what? Are you okay Ita-!?" Itachi cupped Naruto's face with a gentle pressure and smoothly kissed his lips. He let his lips linger on Naruto's for a moment. before pulling away to observe the blond's face. Of course Naruto was shocked with a flushed face, but what surprised him the most was that he wanted Itachi's lips back on his! The feeling of Itachi's small kiss lingered on his lips with a burning sensation and Naruto wanted more of it. . .
"Itachi. . ." Itachi squeezed Naruto's hip with a light pressure and leaned in forward to steal another kiss from Naruto. Naruto wasn't sure why but he didn't stop Itachi's actions and slowly wrapped his arms around his neck. Before the young kitsune even knew what was happening Itachi sat them both down on the bed and put the half demon into his lap so they could face one another. He made Naruto wrap his legs around his torso and proceeded to take off Naruto's night shirt. He threw the younger's shirt to the floor and started to massage Naruto's back with one hand while the other made circles with his thumb on Naruto's left thigh. His cold fingers on Naruto's warm skin made the blond sigh with pleasure.
They looked into each others' eyes for a moment before they reconnected their lips together and began to make out. Teeth and tongue's clashed as both parties battled for dominance, but in the end Itachi won and Naruto didn't mind that at all. He loved the feeling of Itachi invading his personal space and wrapped his arms securely around the raven-haired males neck and into his dark hair. They kissed passionately for a good five minutes before Itachi felt Naruto's breath quicken against his lips and de-attached his from Naruto's to let the younger breath. Itachi watched as Naruto panted heavily and without thinking clearly he attached his lips onto the blond's neck and began to suck on a very sensitive spot.
"Ita. . .Ah n-no. . .do-OH! D-Don't do that Itachi. . .AH!" Itachi's hot mouth against his throat felt so good that Naruto couldn't even think straight let alone have his words come out right. He knew this was dangerous to be liking the touches from the man that would eventually kill him but I just felt so right. From his head to his toes he felt like his whole body was on fire and moaned loudly in Itachi's ear. Naruto felt his member twitch as his whole body shook with heated pleasure. The raven-haired male smirked as he felt Naruto shiver against his own. He felt the younger's member twitch against his own calm one and suddenly a devilish idea came into mind. Nothing was going to stop him from what he was about to do.
Itachi smoothly grabbed Naruto's clothed member with a firm grip and squeezed it while at the same time bit down on his neck with a long and hard bite that would for sure cause a large hickey to appear for everyone to see. Naruto threw his head back and made a loud high-pitched moan that he was sure the whole hide out heard it. Never in his life had he experienced so much pleasure at once! Itachi smirked against his neck once more, then placed small kisses on the mark he left on it before moving his way up towards Naruto's ear. His licked the shell of the young male's ear while at the same time giving Naruto's clothed member a tender massage. Sending the younger into overdrive with his emotions.
'I wonder what Sasuke would think. . .'
The thought of Sasuke walking in on Itachi doing such things to him and his body brought Naruto back to reality somewhat and he slowly shook his head. Before Itachi could go any further Naruto put his hands on his chest and tore his head away from his. The elder man gave him a curious look as Naruto opened his mouth to speak.
"I'm sorry but this is just so fast and I. . .I need. . ." Itachi gently stroked Naruto's face, causing him to stop in mid sentence. Naruto had never done something so intimate before, let alone had his first kiss yet. Even though he's seventeen he is still young and needs time. No one has ever treated him in such a passionate way before. . .
"You just need time and I can wait, but there's something I want you to understand Naruto-kun. . . I don't want you to touch or think of anyone else but me. While you are here you are mine and mine only. Do you understand me Naruto?" Naruto nodded his head. With a slow exhale Itachi pressed his forehead against Naruto's and gently rubbed his back so the blond's hormones could calm down a bit.
"Thank you Itachi." Naruto kissed his cheek and ran his hands through Itachi's bangs. Itachi nodded and stood up, gently placing Naruto out of his lap and onto the bed to grab his night shirt off the floor. He placed it back onto Naruto and slid him into the covers, then turned off all of the lights and made his way into his own bed next to the younger male. He wrapped his arms protectively around Naruto and pulled him close. Naruto smiled and snuggled into the older man.
"Goodnight Itachi. . ."
"Goodnight Naruto-kun." And with that Naruto closed his eyes and drifted off the sleep. His last thoughts about Itachi. . .
