Blood and Tears Chapter 21: I Lost The Game, a naruto fanfic

Disclaimer- :Lower lip quivers and runs from the room because they're not hers: K. Masashi is so mean! His parents obviously never taught him how to SHARE!

A/N- :Blinks: Wow... I have... whoa... You guys are amazing. I can't believe I have over 1000 reviews. That is... so awesome. Thank you all so much. :Is happy:

Also, my friend's dad (who is a cop) made me make a huge mistake. He told me CSIS was spelt CESUS, but Spencer (thank you, btw) informed me that it was, in fact, spelt CSIS. So, sorry about that. I'm going to have to go change that. Y'all should thank Spencer, lol.

(Edit: Changed, but I wanted to keep this note to thank Spencer).

Fourteen hours ago.

"You'll never get away with this." Kakashi said, forcing his student to look away from his lover. He just wanted to keep Iruka safe.

"Won't I?" Sai smirked. "Consider this a warning to your dear foster son. I'll let Iruka tell him of your passing." A sadistic smile crossed Sai's face. "Good bye, Kakashi Hatake."

A gunshot rang out.

"Kakashi!"

The grey-haired professor's eyes were clenched shut. As he felt no pain, he peeked open one eye and was greeted with the sight of Sai with one finger against his lips. Iruka had stopped halfway across the living room, having run for his lover when Sai pulled the trigger, but frozen when the other man seemed none the worse for wear.

Sai motioned Kakashi's bedroom and walked down the corridor to it. The two lovers shared a look, unsure of what to do. Kakashi then figured something important was happening, so he followed Sai to his room. Iruka did so, as well, though reluctantly. As soon as they entered, Sai closed the door.

"I don't have enough time to explain, so I have to be quick." Sai took a deep breath. "I'm twenty-six years old. The first time I met my Aunt Tsunade was when I applied for UBC. I was sent here by CSIS. I'm one of their undercover agents."

"What?" Kakashi asked incredulously.

Sai pulled out a badge and showed it to the two men. "I'm undercover. I've been in an organization called the Akatsuki for two years, now. When I caught wind of the Uzumaki child being recruited, I contacted my supervisor, asking him what I should do. I was told to watch him and make sure he didn't get killed. A kid like him has no reason to be forced into this kind of job. I couldn't do much for him but keep him alive. Of course, I screwed him over a few times because of my job in the Akatsuki, and I feel bad about it, but it had to be done." Sai took a deep breath. "Sasuke pissed off the head of this Akatsuki branch, and my orders were to kill you. As you can see, I didn't do that, and an agent is on his way to bring you somewhere safe. Unfortunately, Sasuke and Naruto have to go to the Akatsuki headquarters tonight."

"No." Kakashi insisted. "No, take them away! Bring them with me!"

"Unfortunately, I can't do that." Sai shook his head. "You see, we got lucky this time around. I was the one sent to kill you. If any other friends of theirs are condemned to death, there's no guarantee it'll be me, and they really will die. I don't want that." Sai ran his hand through his hair. "My mission was to discover the identity of the leader of all the Akatsuki branches. I have done that, and now, we can move in. Tonight, all hell will beak lose at headquarters. But, Naruto and Sasuke have to show up, or the mission will fail."

Kakashi grit his teeth, not liking this at all. He could see the reasoning, but he still didn't like it. What if something went wrong? What if Naruto and Sasuke died?

"I know you probably don't like this, but it can't be helped." Sai insisted. "We're going to take you away, but Deidara has demanded your head. We'll have to work fast, but I believe we can make a mask of your face and put it on a corpse, giving the impression that it's you." He turned to Iruka. "I need you to do the best acting you can. If there's even a hint that Kakashi is alive, those boys are dead."

"I understand." Iruka reassured. "I'll do my best."

"All right. We have to get started." Sai brought his wrist close to his mouth. "Are you here, yet?"

"I've been standing outside for ten minutes."

"Cheeky bastard." Sai grumbled. "Let's go, Mr. Hatake. We have little time."

Eighteenth of December.

"Agent Baikan, this is getting too dangerous." the twenty-six year old's supervisor said as the two of them pretended to be shopping in a supermarket. Sai was looking at the apples while his supervisor inspected the grapes, both pretending not to know each other. "I told you to pull out, and you did so, yet you then disregarded my orders and returned to the Akatsuki."

"You were discouraged." Sai said as he picked up an apple, shining it on his shirt before taking a bite. "You thought we'd never catch the leader. But whether or not we do, I'm doing a lot of good by being in Akatsuki. I'm saving people and making it look like they've died, and I'm keeping watch on the Uzumaki kid."

"I know you've got a soft spot for him, but you have to understand that you're an important asset to us!"

"Mr. Uchiha has his memory back." Sai whispered, causing his supervisor to pause in his actions. "I had no choice but to report it due to Orochimaru Sannin finding out. They're going to be going after him with more vigour, now. And this new Sasuke seems very protective. I have no doubt he will discover Naruto's secret, and endanger everyone Naruto holds dear." He turned his head slightly to look at his supervisor. "Are you telling me to step back and watch those eighteen and nineteen year olds die because of some organization that prides itself in killing others? Because I won't do it."

Sai's supervisor rubbed his eyes as he let out a small sigh. What the other man was saying was true, but he still didn't think it was a good idea leaving Sai in there.

"I'll give you one more year, Sai." he told his charge. "One more year, and that's it. You've been in there for too long already, and I won't lose you to them."

"Thank you, sir." Sai couldn't help but feel relieved. He was going to be able to help Naruto, after all. "I should head back. I need to get ready for tomorrow."

His supervisor frowned. "Where are you going tomorrow?"

Sai grinned. "To crash a party at Naruto's house." He threw his half-eaten apple at his supervisor before walking down the aisle and exiting the store.

Present.

"You!" Punch. "Sorry!" Punch. "Ass!" Punch. "Bastard!"

"Ow! Dammit, Kiba!" Naruto hollered as he rushed around the living room of his unit in Gage, trying to avoid the blows.

"You never tell me anything!" Kiba hollered angrily. "We're all worried sick about you, and you go out and become a killer because you have no choice!"

"He never actually killed anyone." Sasuke insisted from his position on the couch, having to move from side to side on occasion when the fight between the two boys stopped in front of the television.

"Still! You were sexually abused, and you told no one!" Kiba landed a good, solid blow on Naruto's head.

"Ow!"

"You were forced to take heroin, the withdrawal having ended three days ago while you were in protective custody!" He managed to get a kick in, hitting Naruto in the ass as the other boy tried to vault over the couch.

"Ow!"

"And worst of all, you joined a band of serial killers to keep me safe! Not only me, but still!" Kiba punched him square across the face, sending Naruto crashing to the ground.

"Sasuke! Why aren't you helping me?!" Naruto demanded before his eyes widened and he scrambled to his feet, Kiba still coming after him.

"Because, I was going to beat you up, too." Sasuke stated easily as he changed the channel. "Having Kiba do it saves me the trouble."

The front door opened as Kiba continued to chase Naruto around the small apartment. Sai walked in and cocked an eyebrow as Naruto and Kiba ran right past him, the blond complaining about losing brain cells.

"Did I miss something?" Sai asked, confused.

"Not really, no." Sasuke insisted as he continued surfing the channels for something interesting.

Sai walked towards him and plopped down on the couch beside him, Sasuke turning to look at him. The Uchiha let out a sigh before turning off the television and turning to Sai.

"I'm sorry about always being an ass to you." Sasuke muttered, avoiding Sai's eye as the older man stared at him inquiringly. "I didn't know you were only trying to help Naruto."

"There was no way for me to tell you." Sai smiled apologetically. "But it's good to know Naruto has friends like you, and Gaara, and Neji—"

"Coming through!" Naruto vaulted over the couch, right between the two ravens. Kiba was hot on his tail.

"Get back here!"

"And Kiba." Sai let out a small chuckle.

"Yeah." Sasuke couldn't help but smirk, too. "You know, if Naruto were smart, he'd use the front door."

"No, he'd have to pause to get the door open, and Kiba would catch up to him." Sai reasoned.

Kiba grabbed the back of Naruto's shirt and the blond hastily pulled it off over his head, still running away from the enraged boy, now shirtless.

"I'm just glad you were on our side all along." Sasuke said to Sai with a smile. "I'm glad you were the one sent after Kakashi. If he had actually died..." Sasuke trailed off, not wanting to think about it.

"I was thankful, as well. Kakashi is a good man. He's a good guardian. I should like to spend more time with him, now that he knows I'm not actually a student and don't have to go to class." He laughed. Sasuke did, too.

"I'm also glad that you wanting to get into Naruto's pants was just an act." Sasuke said. Sai cocked an eyebrow at him. "I realize now you just did it to get closer to Naruto so you could protect him. But, man, your act sure had me fooled."

"Yeah." Sai said, a small smile on his face. "Act. Sure."

Sasuke frowned at his reaction, not liking the way Sai's eyes suddenly followed the half-naked Naruto across the room.

Sasuke pushed Naruto down onto the blond's bed before flopping on top of him and kissing the tip of his nose. Naruto rolled his eyes.

"You're such a loser, Sasuke." he teased.

"Am I, now?" The raven grinned evilly before dipping down and attacking Naruto's pulse with his teeth. The blond let out a groan.

"This is definitely how I imagined the end of exams being." Naruto let out a loud moan as Sasuke found his sensitive spot.

"School's over." Sasuke kissed his way up Naruto's neck. "The murderers are behind bars." He kissed his way along Naruto's jawline. "And it's just an entire summer of you, me, and this wonderful, wonderful bed."

"And me!"

"Go away, Genma!" the two boys hollered as Sasuke picked up the closest thing to him—Naruto's home phone—and hurled it at the door. It slammed quickly, the phone smashing into the wood and leaving a dent.

Sasuke sighed as he let his head drop onto his boyfriend's chest. "If I may ask, what possessed you to invite everyone here for an end of the school year party? I mean, Gaara, Kiba, the girls and everyone, I can understand. Kakashi and Iruka are a given—but Genma? And Gai?!"

"It was also a thank you to everyone who worried about me and tried to help me." Naruto smiled kindly, even though his boyfriend couldn't see him, what with his head resting on Naruto's chest and all. "And I wanted Tsunade and Jiraiya to meet some of the other professors. Orochimaru's betrayal of them hit them hard, so I think it's good for them to meet crazy people like Genma, and Anko—"

"Spiritous youth be with you all!"

"And Gai." Naruto smiled.

"Mm. I guess so."

Sasuke pushed himself up and grabbed the bottom of Naruto's shirt, wrenching it off his little blond's body before the other boy could protest. He threw it across the room before making quick work of his own shirt.

The second the damned material was out of the way, he began to give Naruto a few souvenirs on his chest, not willing to let the blond boy out of here without staking his claim on him.

But, as usual—someone always interrupts them.

"My eyes!"

Sasuke let out an annoyed growl. "I love him, and all, but that boy has the worst timing ever!"

"Are they having sex?!" Genma demanded as his footsteps were heard making their way to Naruto's room.

"Ignore them." Naruto insisted as he grabbed Sasuke's face and kissed him deeply.

As the two of them battled for dominance, Naruto's eyes suddenly snapped open and he pushed Sasuke away from him. The raven opened his mouth to demand what was wrong, panic evident in his eyes, but it was replaced with confusion as Naruto laughed hysterically.

"What's so funny?" Sasuke demanded, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh my God, Sasuke. You'll never believe this." He grinned at his boyfriend. "I lost."

Sasuke cocked an eyebrow. "You lost? You're thinking about the game while we're lying here making out?!"

"Well, it just proves that I'm thinking perverted thoughts while we're lying here making out." Naruto looped his arms around Sasuke's neck, fully aware of the fact that almost all their friends had entered his room to watch them. Sasuke didn't seem to care anymore, and neither did Naruto, so they continued on with their conversation as if no one was there.

"So, how many rooms did we have left?" Sasuke nudged Naruto's chin to the side and began to suck on his pulse again. Naruto let out a small moan.

"Too many." he breathed. "Shall we get on that?"

"Mm." Sasuke said against his neck. "Sounds like a plan."

"Can I watch?"

"No!" Sasuke and Naruto snapped before Raidou slapped his boyfriend across the back of the head.

"Ow! You guys all suck." he whined.

"I lost." Everyone smirked.

THE END.

A/N: See? See?! Happy ending! Now give me a cookie!

And wait one more day for the epilogue.

Also, I feel the need to mention Scarhead90 because of something written in a review. I never even noticed it, so kudos on catching that. Scar noticed that for Roommates, the genre was "Humour/Angst" which was how the story, basically, played out. It was funny (I think/hope) and then went all angsty at the end. For this one, the genre was "Angst/Humour" and it started out all angsty and ended somewhat funnily... So, kudos on noticing that :smiles:
