Well everyone...here it is. The last chapter of Rei-Senzai 2: Possession. It's rather mellow and...well it's a final chapter. XD Of course it's going to be mellow and sweet.
However...Considering the way I ended it off...I have decided to write bonus chapter that's probably going to be majorly long. There'll be more explanation on this at the end after you've read it.
It's come a long way, and I'm so pleased with the response this story got, and I've had fun writing it out and letting this characters grow! I hope you all have enjoyed it just as much if not more!
The possibility of a 3rd story, while not very high, is also not completely ruled out. I might end up having an idea for a plot-story but I won't make any promises on it.
Also, the Rei-Senzai X-Files will keep going. I'm going to be keeping it in a type of timeline...so as I post more, it'll slowly add on characters and such until we reached where this story ends. After that, I'll probably keep posting with new cases involving everyone including Naruto and Sasuke! So I hope you can all enjoy that!
No more stalling! It is time!
Warnings: None I can really think of...some SasuNaru hints and fluff but nothing hectic.

Welcome to Rei-Senzai Inc!
The pale blue walls were dim, the thick curtains having been shut long ago. A small spider was slowly crawling along the folds of the curtain, its little legs slipping every now and then on the smooth material. The critter made its way closer to the bottom when suddenly the curtain arched outwards as a breeze from outside caught the material. The spider trembled on its perch when the cloth flickered before it lost its hold and tumbled down. With an inaudible thud, it landed on a bright orange duvet and struggled to get upright. When it did, it madly scuttled across the orange plain of material until it reached a new area. Confused, the spider cautiously stepped onto the new land with one leg. The new land was quite soft and smooth. And it was quite pink too.
The spider crawled atop the new area and thought it was quite a nice place to settle, so it stayed still and enjoyed the smooth surface.
So happy with its little cushion was the critter, that it didn't see the large hand moving towards it slowly, or the way the fingers curled into a tightly held circle. However, it sensed something was happening and so it turned around in time to be smacked in the face with a giant finger and flung clear across the room where it landed on the floor and stayed still; stunned out of its mind.
"Stupid spider," a sleepy voice mumbled before the fingers were gently wiping at the spot said arachnid had been resting. "Making my teme dirty."
Sasuke hummed in response to the mumble, cracking open an eye and smirking at the set of narrowed blue only inches from his own.
"Someone's got jealousy issues," he teased in a sing song voice and chuckled when the fingers flicked his cheek instead of stroking it. Naruto sniffed haughtily, fingers resuming their stroking while he gazed at Sasuke's face.
"I have every right to be jealous...you almost got taken away from me once," he mumbled and Sasuke smiled before scooting closer under the blankets and wrapping his arms around Naruto.
"It's fine now," he said gently, pressing a kiss to Naruto's forehead. "It's over."
Naruto pouted slightly, huffing in anger and shuffling over so that his back was to Sasuke. He felt the pale boy's silent laughter against his back while Sasuke just pressed closer and held him tighter.
"I'm still pissed that you didn't tell me you had that...thing...inside of you!" Naruto grumbled. Sasuke sighed.
"I didn't want to worry you over something that I didn't even know about fully," he defended before frowning. "And you're one to talk! How come I didn't know about your little furry pet until the hospital?" he asked slyly.
Naruto shifted over again. "Hey! I only found out about him the same night all that shit happened so excuse me if I didn't have time to say 'hey Sasuke! I have an ancient demon sealed inside me!'" he said indignantly. Sasuke scoffed and leant over, pulling Naruto into a deep kiss.
"Well whatever. Like I said, it's over now so there's no point in worrying about it anymore," he mumbled once they'd parted and let his eyes slide closed. He felt Naruto stroke his face again.
"You still tired?"
"Hn. The doctors said I'd still feel weak for at least a few more days," Sasuke replied softly and he leaned into the touch Naruto gave his cheek, loving the gentle strokes. He hummed in content, fingers coming up to curl around Naruto's own while he slowly drifted off to sleep.
"Stay," he murmured just before passing out. Naruto cupped his cheek, leaning over to press his lips gently against Sasuke's eyelids, the tip of his nose and finally a little peck to his lips before he snuggled closer and closed his own eyes.
"Always, teme. Always."
It was in this position that Itachi found the two boys three hours later as he snuck into Sasuke's room like the devilishly handsome ninja he secretly was-in his mind anyway. He looked down at their sleeping faces, a smile curving his stoic face at seeing his 'family' looking so content and at peace. He pulled out his phone and snapped a shot, cooing at the cute picture even as his other arm rose up, bringing the megaphone with it.
He was going to enjoy this.
"GOOD MORNING ICHIGO!"
While Sasuke convulsed in place, eyes snapping open and a few high pitched, short screams shooting from his mouth, it was Naruto's reaction that really sent Itachi into a new height of morning-prank hysterics. The blond not only screamed and jumped out of bed, but Itachi clearly heard the him run through the apartment, slam into several doors before finally escaping out the front door and screaming as he ran across the street.
He was doubled over, tears of laughter beading the corner of his eyes while he gasped for breath. Soon, however, Sasuke's murderous roar drowned out the sounds of his amusement.
"ITACHI!"
And then it was Itachi's turn to run through the apartment, slam into doors and enter the street while screaming at the top of his lungs; a murderous, Sharingan wielding, teenage Uchiha right on his tail brandishing an impressive size thirteen shoe.
Kiba scratched at his cheek, feeling the beginnings of stubble and he wondered if Hinata found him more rugged with a bit of facial hair. His thoughts of Hinata stroking his bearded chin were derailed when something smacked the top of his head and he twisted around to see Shino standing there.
"What the hell?"
"Stop daydreaming. You need to fill out this statement for the police," Shino drawled and dropped the folder he'd used to hit Kiba onto the boy's lap. Kiba groaned, opening it up and looking at the long list of questions he had to answer.
"Why do we have to fill these things out?" he whined even as he reached for the pen Shino offered.
"Because our friend in the police department, Luka-san, has pulled a lot of strings to help get us out of the spotlight. In return, we need to fill these out for him so that he can at least have valid records to associate to the incident."
Kiba grumbled even as he started to fill in his form. "Stupid red-tape."
"Stop grumbling, kid," Sasori ordered as he walked into the room, his own form already filled out. He placed it onto the pile that was completed, which included the forms of Itachi, Kisame, Deidara, Neji, Lee and Sakura. While Kiba scratched out his answers and mumbled profanities under his breath, Hinata and Neji soon walked into the room.
Kiba's nose twitched once as a familiar scent washed over him and he looked up, grinning brightly at seeing his girlfriend.
"Hina-chan!"
Hinata smiled, walking over to him and pointedly ignoring the annoyance radiating off of Neji as the older teen crossed his arms and sat down, his face set in a deep scowl.
"What's wrong with Neji?" Kiba asked softly. "He looks even grumpier than usual."
Hinata giggled softly. "G-Gaara-kun wasn't happy t-to hear about what happened so h-he's giving Neji-nii-san the s-silent treatment for a few d-days," she explained and smiled sadly at her cousin.
Kiba smirked briefly, but the look vanished when Neji shot him a withering glare and he turned back to his form with a low whistle.
"Man, he's in a bad moon."
"Y-yeah."
Ino soon arrived with Shikamaru and Chouji and the first thing she did that morning was give everyone present a hug. She even managed to snag Sasori and Neji. But no one was all too surprised. Since Sasuke and Naruto's recovery, Ino had started this new routine of hugging everyone in the morning.
"Ino, why do you insist on doing this every day?" Kiba asked even as he returned her hug with a pat on her head. Ino smiled while she turned to Hinata, pulling the girl into a big and-in Kiba's opinion- squishy hug.
"Because, Kiba, in this line of work you never know when someone might just vanish," Ino explained softly. Any protests to a hug were soon buried and Ino received her hug from every individual present; Deidara even went for seconds. When she was finished, she smiled.
"I'll make coffee. Who wants?"
"A cup of coffee would be like a page of the newest Icha Icha!" a cheery voice called and everyone turned to look at the doorway.
Kiba grinned while Deidara and Lee cheered happily, and even Sasori and Neji looked a bit happy.
"Kakashi!"
Kakashi stood in the entry way wearing his usual black turtleneck and grey jeans. His mask was set over his face and his hair, though looking a bit limp, still defied gravity and brushed over his eye. He smiled-his eye crinkled- and nodded towards everyone.
"Yo."
Ino ran up to him, wrapping her arms around him in a hug. She made sure to be mindful of the crutches keeping the man standing when she pulled away. Kakashi smiled down at her before he slowly made his way further into the room. Every step he took was accentuated with the soft tap of plastic upon wood as he used his crutches to move forward, swinging himself each time. His right leg was still bandaged heavily, and his left was still weaker than normal but he could sort of rest on it. His arms were covered in patches but they were really only to prevent possible infection while the scratches finished healing.
He ambled over to the couch and fell down, letting out an appreciative groan as his back hit the soft material while the crew members gathered around him.
"How're you feeling?" Kiba asked, wrapping an arm around Hinata's shoulder.
Kakashi let his head rest against the couch. "Still sore and stiff but alive, which is a good thing. It's just annoying how much I'm restricted by these crutches," he huffed, looking at the things angrily.
"Well, they're kind of necessary for your recovery!" Ino said with a drawling seriousness before erupting into giggles. "Besides! You can have lots of fun whacking Itachi over the head with them when he gets back!" she added and Kakashi's face lit up.
"I do like the sound of that," he agreed and the gathered people laughed. So immersed were they in their humour, they didn't hear the sound of footsteps. Shikamaru was the first to notice the person standing in the doorway, and as soon as he recognized them his face curved into a smirk.
"Well, the rest of us should get back to our work. We've got a lot to do. Let our fearless leader relax," he said as he stood. Everyone stared at him in surprise, wondering why the lazy genius was making a suggestion to actually work. In answer to their questioning gazes, Shikamaru cocked his head towards the doorway and smiled.
The others all turned to look and both Ino and Hinata burst into fits of giggles while most of the guys smirked. Kakashi, whose view of the door was blocked by Chouji's body, just looked around in confusion.
"What're you all smirking at? What did I miss?" he asked in confusion. There was a soft laugh from behind the large boy before him and bells went off in Kakashi's head as he recognized the voice.
"You seem the same as the last time we met, Kakashi-san. With perhaps a few more accessories to your appearance, I suppose."
Chouji grinned and moved out of the way, allowing Kakashi's wide eyes to take in the person standing there holding a small paper bag and wearing a soft smile on their tan features. The light scar was a dead giveaway, as well as the chocolate brown eyes.
"I-Iruka-san!"
Iruka's smile widened as he folded his arms over his white jumper clad chest. "Hello Kakashi-san."
"W-what're you doing here?" Kakashi stammered happily. He made to get up, but Iruka quickly waved him down.
"Well I was talking to Naruto over the phone just yesterday," the man began with a small smirk, "and I...happened to ask about you," he admitted. Kakashi was very interested in the light dusting of red Iruka gained on his cheeks. "Naruto told me about the incident. I was horrified to hear about everything that had happened to him and Sasuke...and when he told me about you I just...felt I needed to come and visit, and check for myself that everyone was alright."
Kakashi tilted his head to the side, barely even noticing when the rest of the crew members started to tip-toe out the door like amateur ninjas. "You were worried about m-us?" he amended with a sheepish grin and Iruka laughed as he sat down.
"Yes. I was indeed worried...about you," he said softly. Kakashi scratched his cheek while he mentally refused to acknowledge the blush that stained his face.
"Maa, there was no need really," he said slowly, eyes darting around. "I'm alright..."
Iruka's smile brightened. "I'm glad," he said sincerely and Kakashi chuckled happily.
"...So...how have you been, Iruka-san?"
The brunet grinned again, eyes twinkling. "Please...just call me Iruka."
The following weeks of recovery were filled with light smiles, easy conversation and lots and lots of paperwork. After four days of filling out claims reports and statements and other so-called necessary forms, one of their members had lost it. Hidan had ended up dragging half the forms into a dustbin, setting them on fire, and then pushing the bin down a hill and watching it roll away with a wide grin on his face.
Kakuzu gained an ulcer after receiving the damage fine from that little escapade, and Hidan's screams of pain were heard throughout the neighbourhood when the stitched man had gotten a hold of him.
The crew had received little job requests over the weeks, and they all relished in the break and enjoyed the non-dangerous tasks they did do; like spring cleaning the office, playing video games and making bets on when Kakashi and Iruka would go on their third date.
Naruto came to the headquarters every day without fail, dragging Sasuke along with him most of the time. It was Wednesday and the two were making their way towards the headquarters after school, hand in hand while Naruto ate an ice-cream he'd bought from a small store on the way. Sasuke was watching him lick the treat with a slight rapture.
"Put the pencil back in the pocket, teme," Naruto warned as he licked some melted ice-cream off his finger. Sasuke scowled, turning away and trying to will down the boner plaguing his lower regions.
"Hn. You don't exactly make it easy, dobe," he grunted and Naruto elbowed him in the side playfully.
"I know I'm hot, but you just have to wait. I'm not interested in a public molestation," he smiled and Sasuke grinned lecherously.
"But in private?"
"I'm all yours," Naruto agreed and Sasuke pumped a fist in the air in victory, earning a laugh from his blond. "Asshole."
"You love me anyway," Sasuke reminded and Naruto's smile widened.
"Yeah, I do."
There was a crash and both of them spun around. Sasuke's Sharingan was whirling in his eyes and Naruto's canines were sharper than before, a low growl coming from his throat.
A trash can several feet away had been overturned, and the boys saw a shaking head of tight red curls. They exchanged looks while Sasuke's eyes faded back to black and Naruto's teeth became blunt again before he straightened.
"Uh...Romi-san?" Naruto called hesitantly. There was a squeak, and the strange girl from their class stepped out from behind the garbage pile. She laughed nervously, running a hand over her shirt.
"H-hi guys...I was just...uh...passing by?" she tried and winced at the unimpressed looks they sent her. "Oh alright fine! I was curious to know where you two went every day after school. I live down the road from here and I've seen you pass by so many times!" she huffed, crossing her arms.
Naruto smiled while Sasuke rolled his eyes. "We're going to work," he said plainly before grabbing Naruto's arm and starting to pull him onwards despite his protest. "And we're going to be late. Goodbye."
"Huh! O-oi wait! Sasuke-kun! Naruto-kun! WAIT!" Romi called after them, but Sasuke was already running and dragging Naruto with him. He'd already vanished from sight by the time Romi had finished her call. Dejected, she let her hand fall to her side and frowned.
"Damn they're sure a slippery pair," she mumbled. "Well no matter! I'll follow them the whole way tomorrow and I won't get caught!" she promised before turning and skipping home while humming the funeral march to herself.
Further down the road and around the corner, the two boys were catching their breath from the short sprint they'd just taken.
"That was a bit mean, Sasuke," Naruto said, peering around the wall to see if Romi was still there.
"Hn. Did you want her to hang around us and find out where we went every day?" Sasuke countered and when Naruto paled he nodded. "That's what I thought."
Arriving at the headquarters, they walked up the stairs together while talking and joking about school and some of the teachers.
"Oh, remember when Mitarashi-sensei's button popped off her jacket? We could see everything!" Naruto said as he opened the door and Sasuke shuddered.
"That was disgusting. I'm never going to be able to look her in the eye again," the raven noted and Naruto laughed loudly as he stepped through the doorway. They walked into the living room and were surprised to see everyone in a rush. Kakashi was on the phone while Ino stood nearby, passing him various things he requested. Kiba was helping Shikamaru and Tenten pack up various devices while Hinata and Neji were talking to Deidara and Kisame in a corner, hands making various gestures and mouths moving in sync. The two of them jumped when Shino slid between them with a soft 'Excuse me,' and he vanished into one of the back rooms. Sasori was also on the phone, occasionally calling out to Kakashi for a question before going back to his conversation.
"Whoa, what's happening?" Naruto asked, looking at the commotion. Sasuke spotted Itachi flipping through a map book, eyes scanning each page in quick and efficient motions.
"We got a call from our friend Tobi, un." Naruto jumped a foot in the air when Deidara spoke right behind him.
"Shit, don't do that!" he yelled while the older blond just laughed cheerfully.
"Sorry un. But anyway, Tobi and Pein were up near a hotel near Northern Konoha, and they called us now to tell us they needed help. Apparently the hotel has five poltergeists at once, un!" Deidara said, waving his arms around wildly.
Sasuke looked around the room again, seeing the equipment they were loading and the way Itachi was mapping out the route to the hotel obviously. Five poltergeists at once was a big deal. From what he knew, dealing with one was said to be troublesome enough. He sighed, turning to look at Deidara with a frown.
"Does this mean we'll be leaving for a few days?" he asked sadly and Deidara smiled in understanding.
"Un. Poltergeists are nasty buggers. It'll take us a while to get rid of five of them, un."
Naruto frowned. "How long is 'a while'?" he asked huffily and Deidara gave a small, nervous chuckle, scratching at his ear.
"...Around a week or so, un."
"A whole week?" Naruto gaped before turning and grabbing Sasuke's shoulders. "You're going to be gone for a whole week?"
"Ah, Naruto! Glad you decided to drop by today!" Kakashi said, appearing suddenly behind the blond. Once again Naruto jumped three feet in the air, his hair standing on end before he spun around and hit the masked man on the chest.
"DON'T DO THAT DAMMIT!"
Kakashi laughed at his roar, brushing some hair back before he looked down at the two boys.
"Naruto, I was actually hoping you would be able to join us on this mission," he said.
Two pairs of hands appeared next to Kakashi's head before he was grabbed in a double headlock. Both Sasuke and Kiba squeezed relentlessly, eyes narrowed in evil glares as they strangled the man.
"No way is he coming!" they growled in unison.
"Huh? Why not?" Naruto asked indignantly, looking between them with a bit of hurt in his eyes. Kiba looked at him, the glare being replaced with friendly concern.
"Naruto, poltergeists are some of the meanest ghosts around! Their only intentions are to hurt people and they can pull some nasty tricks! Some people have ended up in the hospital in serious condition from one, and we're talking about five of them!" the brunet said while his fist started to thud rhythmically against the top of Kakashi's head. Sasuke nodded in agreement, his own hand moving around to grind against the masked man's cheek.
"Hn. It'll be too dangerous for you to come along, not to mention you'll get scared to easily. Poltergeists are the ghosts that make horrific noises and sneak up on people for the hell of giving them frights and attempting to hurt them. You'll die of a heart attack above all else," he explained in what might have been a sincere tone had it not been for the laughing shine to his eyes.
Naruto growled, glaring at his 'loving' boyfriend before he crossed his arms. "Oh so you don't want me to come to the hotel with you? After all, I imagine that's where you'd be staying, right Kakashi?" he asked slyly, looking down at the man who was slowly but surely turning blue. Kakashi nodded, holding up his thumb to show his agreement before Kiba gave him an extra hard knock on the head.
"Hn. What's your point, dobe?" Sasuke asked while his fingers now began to harshly pull Kakashi's cheek.
Naruto's smirk slid down the evil spectrum a bit more and he chuckled. "Well just think...a nice, fancy hotel with awesome, private rooms and big, soft beds...and I'm sure you and I would share a room...I was just thinking of the things we could do..."
"Oh my God, you are so not doing what I think you're doing," Kiba groaned, his skin paling slightly. He glanced over at Sasuke, seeing the way the raven had glazed eyes and was unmoving as he got lost in the thoughts Naruto was instilling. "Oh shit you are! C'mon Naruto, think about this like a rational chicken-shit! Why the hell would you want to go to a place with ghosts?" Kiba said indignantly even while Naruto glared at him for the chicken-shit insult.
Naruto frowned. "Those ghosts are hurting innocent people. And they might hurt you guys too! I mean, you're taking on five of them at once! I may not be a member of your group, but you all know that I can help! And I want to help, so why shouldn't I give it my all?" he asked. The other members exchanged looks, some nodding in agreement while others were still a bit unsure.
"Spoken like a true ghost-hunter!" Kakashi beamed, placing his hands on Naruto's shoulders proudly. Kiba and Sasuke blinked, looking down to see their arms were now wrapped around a very murderous looking Sasori. They both yelled out, letting go of the red-head who turned to glare at Kakashi.
"I'll kill you, I swear it!" Sasori growled, but before he could do anything he was swept off his feet. "What the fu-"
"Aw relax Sasori, un!" Deidara chirped happily, holding the fuming red-head in his arms.
"Deidara, I will kill you first!"
"Try counting to ten, un! They say that helps!"
"That's it! I'm going to strangle you! And then I will burn you to ashes!"
"I'll count with you, un! One...Two...Three, un...Four...Five-"
"DIE!"
While Deidara continued to count and Sasori continued to try and escape from his arms, Kakashi turned to speak to Naruto.
"Naruto, I believe you will be a great help in this mission. A poltergeist is able to sense a stronger supernatural force...and I think you could easily intimidate them enough to make it easier for us to dispose of them for good," he said softly. Naruto looked up at him, one hand coming to gently press against his stomach where his seal was located. Sasuke wrapped his arms around him, his own hand coming to rest atop Naruto's.
"I'm willing to help," Naruto repeated and Sasuke sighed.
"Dobe...I guess I'll just have to stay by your side the entire time," he murmured with a smirk.
Naruto grinned, pulling out of his arms to hold up a fist.
"Right! Let's go hunt these pesky bastards!" he declared loudly and the others smiled and cheered.
"Hn. Dobe," Sasuke smirked, pressing a kiss to Naruto's cheek as he stood next to him.
Kakashi smiled while the others gathered around. "Well I guess it's only fair to say...Welcome to Rei-Senzai Inc. Naruto!"
End.
*Sob sob sob* It's over...Well the main story anyway! :P I still have the bonus chapter to do and then I can play with the X-Files!
Oh right, explanation on the bonus chapter...Well, basically I thought 'Why don't I add an extra chapter which shows them taking care of the poltergeists? That way we can all finish off this story with a fun, exciting, true ghost story finish that shows how badass-or not-the characters have or haven't become! Do you guys think this is a good idea, or should I forget about the bonus chapter? :/
Anyway, a HUGE thanks to everyone who reviewed, alerted and faved this story. You're all awesome, and I'm so glad to have had you along with this little ride! I'm sorry I could'nt answer all your reviews individually but know that I have read them, adored them, and cherished each and every one of you for leaving them! Thank you all so much! *smothers readers in love*
Well...I guess I'll see you all in other stories (hopefully) and once again...thanks for being with me throughout this tale!
Rei-Senzai Inc: Possession...End!
