AN: I'm late, I know. I'm sadly –brain dead when it comes to ideas. You should see how many written stories I have that are incomplete because I lost the idea. I'm forcing myself to make sure I get this done. Hm… How old is this fic… A year maybe…
Sasuke: No one cares.
Ani: I don't give a Beaver Damn, I'm glad everyone likes Demitri though!
Demitri: 'Thank you all for your support. I shall make sure to enjoy my time hurting Sasuke.'
Others: *sweat drop*
Ani: Yeah… Smart bird. Well, I gotta start working or Alrye is gonna cut me and pour lemon and sea salt on the wounds. Owwie…. That hurts, I've had that before.
Itachi: Our author was –and still is –a clutzy girl.
Ani: I was my uncle's at the beach okay! Not my fault my dad said go a head and swim after I cut my knee!
As a breeze blew through the window of the tower, Sasuke got an ominous feeling. The same feeling he had when Demitri attacked him. The raven haired thief just shook it off and watched as the blond mumbled in his sleep before turning over.
The two of them had talked the day away. But sooner or later, the human became tired. That or, he just really started to feel uncomfortable with Sasuke's questions.
'Maybe I shouldn't have asked him if his boyfriend was a werewolf, would you enjoy the sex on the full moon…?' (Ani: Hmm, I wonder..!) Sasuke thought, but to him it seemed like a reasonable question. Well, for him it was after all, the horny vampire wants to know the best way to skrew the blonde's brains out.
As the sun began to rise, and Naruto began to awaken, Sasuke spotted a dark figure in the distance. 'Huh, what is… Oh god, I'm doomed….! It's Demitri! Naruto will surely recognize him!'
Just as the thought crossed his mind, Naruto noticed the raven making its way to the tower. "Huh…? Is that… It couldn't be…" Naruto's blue eyes widened as he recognized the raven flying towards them with a letter attached to its leg. "Demitri!" Naruto ran to the window and waved his arms, sure that Sasuke or someone sent him to find the blonde's whereabouts.
Demitri spotted the blond as he waved his arms, and behind the blond stood his target. Sweating in his nervous state. An evil glint entered the bird's eyes. 'Oh, oh, still haven't told the kid huh? Well I say your time is up Master.' With a battle cry that had Naruto ducking to the back corner of the room, Sasuke let loose a very, girly scream as he was dive-bombed by the irate raven.
"Stop it! Stop it! Get off! Damnit, listen to me!" Sasuke yelled as the bird tore at his clothes, and yanked his hair, and tried to take his mask to boot!
'You! You stupid, insensitive, dumb ass vampire! Do you have any, ANY idea what I've been through! Fucking delivering letters left and right! I'm damn tired! I want a vacation! But nooooo, the damn Uchiha's need mail sent across the damn city!' Demitri cawed, and squawked, and just out right yelled at the poor thief.
Naruto stared, Demitri had succeeded in removing the small voice distorter Sasuke used to keep Naruto from recognizing him, so now the blond stared at the Black Prince. The longer the bird attacked him, the more he was sure the bird was Demitri. And the more the thief yelled and screamed…the more he started to sound like an angry Sasuke.
With a cautious step Naruto stood, "Sasuke…. Sasuke it that you…? Are you the Black Prince…?" The raven haired male stopped yelled to face the blond, part of his mask torn off, showing a single coal black eye. And in the blonde's bright blue eyes, tears formed and Sasuke could just see how hurt the boy was.
"Naruto, OW, wait… OUCH! I…I was going to tell, -DEMITRI! you, I swear…. KNOCK IT OFF YOU DAMN BIRD! I was going to when you woke up. STOP IT! But all this mess with the council, OUCH! I didn't know how…. DEMITRI, I SWEAR! YOU DON'T FUCKING STOP, I AM GOING TO COOK YOU FOR DINNER!"
Naruto watched Sasuke try to explain to him while yelled at the raven that continued to attack and yell at him as well. And Naruto couldn't help it. He laughed. The two stopped trying to kill each other as they saw the blond just collapse to his knees laughing and crying at the same time, choking on his tears.
Sasuke sighed, and removed Itachi's letter from Demitri. The bird rested on the bed. "Naruto… Naruto, love, I really am sorry. I was really going to tell you…"
"You idiot…!" Sasuke just stared at Naruto as the blond glared at him through teary eyes, he was still caught between sobbing laughs as he spoke. "You are a real… Real idiot…! Fi-first you don't te-tell me you're a va-vampire… Now..now this…!"
"Naruto I swear-!"
"You really thought I'd care about that stuff!"
Sasuke looks sadly at the blond and hugs him. "No… But I was afraid… Afraid you wouldn't be with me… Afraid you wouldn't like me anymore…"
"You idiot…! You fucking idiot…! Baka….!" Naruto half cried-half laughed as he hugged Sasuke back and playfully punched him in the chest. Well, okay, maybe he really meant to punch with all his strength, as Sasuke winced with each punch.
Sasuke smiled and ran his fingers through the blond tresses. "Yeah… Watashi wa baka… (I am an idiot.) I should have known better, I made you worry and scared for no reason."
"I love you…."
Sasuke kissed Naruto's head, "And I you. You're my mate Naruto."
"Mate?"
Sasuke gave a small smile, "Yes, mate. Most creature, Vampires, Werewolves, Veela, and many more have mates. In some cases, they are necessary to live, like with a veela, who if they are rejected by their mate, they will slowly die. You are my mate, and if I'm right; Kyuubi is Itachi's."
Naruto laughs a bit, "So falling for you was inevitable?"
"More like it was sped up a bit." Sasuke smirks and kisses Naruto's cheek, the blond took it so well. Well, he is a descendant of a demon, so he probably knows the basics of this stuff. " Now let's see what Itachi wrote to us, ne?"
Demitri seemed to huff, as his chest puffed out, 'Oh, now you remember why I'm here. Bastard!'
Naruto looked at Demitri wearily as Sasuke changed his clothes, as his looked as if he just came from a battle at the front lines. "Um, Sasuke, maybe you should give Demitri a vacation…" The bird turned shining eyes to the blond.
'SOMEONE WHO UNDER STANDS!' He cawed loudly, flapping his wings. But the smiling eyes gave away his happy mood.
Sasuke looked at the raven and sighed. Truthfully, the bird really did deserve it. "When we get settled back in, I'll call up some friends to home him for a vacation. They own an owlery not far from a city located by a sunny beach. They'd take Demitri in for a bit so he can vacation and try to pick up girls." A smirk overcame the vampire's face.
'Oi! I don't try, I do get the ladies. I got the shiniest feathers this side of Leaf has seen! …" And so Demitri went into a self rant about how wonderful he is. And how many girls he would pick up. While the two leaned over the parchment and read Itachi's letter.
'Sasuke, I think it's about time you told Naruto. Kyuubi is getting angsty over here. And his friends and other family are no better. I plan to tell Kyuubi about your Black Prince identity tonight, then move to the smaller mansion located a few miles out of town. That way you two can still attend Konoha High. Shukaku and his kids are still around. Apparently the man plans to move the group of them about a town over. They don't feel comfortable here after the council's move, and after I told them my plan, he feels better leaving Naruto and Kyuubi with us. I think he's more worried about the actions of the demon council once they get wind of the activities and all of them still being in one city.
Tell Naruto soon and come home, both of you. Me and Kyuubi will be moving all the stuff today and tonight. P.S. Demitri is going to be pretty pissed, Kyuubi and I had to jump him to get the letter attached to him.'
Naruto laughs at bit at the end, as the two of them were left to deal with said pissed bird. "So… We can go home soon…. And I'll be staying with you, Itachi, and Kyuubi…?"
Sasuke nods as he goes around the room checking everything. After everything was double checked to be in place, as the place is usually only attended to a few days a month. Sasuke scoops Naruto into his arms, "Hold on, I'll be flying us. Demitri, if you want to start making your way to Kabuto's go ahead, I'll tell Itachi."
The bird gave a whoot and flew off toward the beach. The two laughed a bit before Sasuke made sure that Naruto was comfortable and held tightly. With a mighty beat of his wings, the two were sky-born. Sasuke would have stayed another night, just so he and Naruto could be alone while their brothers moved the stuff, but after the last question he asked, well… Sasuke didn't think Naruto would be comfortable for another night. 'Yeah, smart Sasuke. Now you're gonna have ta' wait more before you get any. Why am I waiting again? Oh, yeah, you love the blond.' He looks and at the smiling blond in his arms who was gazing amazed at the ground trees beneath them, 'Yeah, I love him… I love Naruto, so I can wait.'
The two arrive at the second Uchiha mansion fairly late at night. The two eldest seem to have finished the initial moving, and as Sasuke retracts his wings and other vampiric features, he and Naruto walk in only for the blond to be tackled by his brother.
Itachi walks in and thumps Sasuke in the back of the head, but smiles. "Nice to have you home safe Sasuke." The two look at Kyuubi, and for once are thankful to have the Uchiha name holding something of pride over them.
"Naru! Oh, my baby brother! I missed you! Oh god, are you okay? Nothing happened right? No one hurt you? Sasuke got you out okay, right? Oh god, Sasuke's the Black Prince, and all this happened, and Uncle moved everyone. Oh, Naruto Gaara wanted to see you, he really did but Uncle –And we'll be living with Itachi and Sasuke and -!"
"Calm down Kyuubi. I'm fine, Demitri kind of gave Sasuke away, so I'm a bit mad at him, but it'll be okay. I read the letter Itachi sent to Sasuke. I'll give Gaara a call, and tomorrow I'll see everyone at school. I'm safe though, Sasuke got me out."
The blond was coddled by his brother and neither vampire could get the protective demon descendant to let him go. Sasuke gave up, happy to know the blonde, if he already didn't, would forgive him and he'd get him time soon. Itachi though, well, after having the red head to himself for so long, his possessive side came out more and he was having issues not having his mate with him now.
The four moved the living room. A few spots still seemed a bit dusty, it would take time to clear out the house. The living room was dimly lit as many of the lights needed replaced. A few of the furniture were still covered with white sheets. The room was painted a deep maroon with a rugby carpet floor. As you neared the kitchen area, the floor became smooth tile. That room had obviously been cleaned. A small table was set in the living room, and two couches and a love seat were uncovered.
After a few hours of coddling, Itachi pulled Kyuubi away, or well, Kyuubi gave Naruto to Sasuke to show to his room while the eldest started on dinner for the more human occupants.
Sasuke took Naruto up the stairs to the second floor. There were a total of six rooms on the second floor and on the ground floor there was a library, the main study, a bathroom, the parlor, living room, kitchen, and a small dining area. Sasuke led Naruto down the hall.
"The room down at the end with the large double doors is the master bedroom. I suppose Itachi and Kyuubi will be staying in there. My room is closest to them, you can tell because of the raven carved on the door." Sasuke showed Naruto the end of the hall and the two mentioned doors. The master bedroom doors were intricately carved, while Sasuke's held a single raven carved into the door. "This room is reserved for the next in line to the family. Since Itachi is head of the family now, I become next in line." Naruto nods his head, "When you get more comfortable with the whole mate thing, you will move in with me and share a room. But till then, and it's at your own pace Naruto, you'll have this room. It have a lotus carved into the door. Across from my room and yours are two studies. They will be for you and me to decorate however we'd like. Itachi's study is the main one on the ground floor."
Sasuke paused to let it sink in. "The library downstairs is open for all use, there are couches, chairs, a fireplace, and even beanbags in there. You are free to take any books from there and into your study if you need them. You and I will soon fill our studies with our own small library of course, but the main library is a general area, you can find a bit of everything. But ours will be specific to what we like to read. The studies can be a place of work or relaxation. It's all up to you." Naruto smiles at this, planning to turn the place into a cozy area where he can work on his school stuff as well as his art.
"So I could make it small art studio?"
"You could devote a section of the room for your easel and such, yes." Sasuke smiles indulgently. "I'll help you figure out whatever you want, love. Between the two studies is the bathroom. The master bedroom has its own bathroom, so again, this will be ours to share." He says as he opens Naruto's door. The inside was painted a deep forest green, the canopy to the bed was an emerald green and the sheets were silver, green, and royal blue. Pillows covered the bed, many of which belong to the blond already. Boxes littered the room, labels reading 'Naruto's clothes', 'Naru's books', ect. A large closet opened to the left of the room. Naruto smiles as he looks around, he liked the look with the ebony carpet.
"I'll help you unpack, and move any books you'd like to your study, but first –it's time for you to eat. I'm sure Kyuubi made you something good."
Naruto smiled and took Sasuke's hand as they walked downstairs. "Sasuke," The raven haired male glanced down at his mate, "thank you for getting me out of that place. Where the council had me held."
Sasuke smiles, "No problem love, no problem at all."
The two head to the kitchen and laugh as it seemed Itachi was forced to cook, so he was covered in flour and spices. As the food was served, and the group moved to the dining table, the four laughed as they learned how Itachi had tried to cook as Kyuubi claimed 'since you can't eat it, you can't cook it.'
As the boys made their way up to the rooms to sort out their school stuff, Naruto rummaged through many boxes. Putting his clothes away, and using the walk in closet to fit all his clothes and bags and whatever else. 'I think the only difference between this mansion and their main one, is the main mansion has a third floor and guest rooms… Cuz, this place still seems pretty dang huge!' After successfully finding his school bag and supplies, and putting them aside, Naruto organized his room. Setting small trinket up on shelves and setting the necklaces from Sasuke on a small bedside table. He set his clock and alarm, so that he'd wake up. With a bit of time left, the blond made his way to his study to see what he could put up.
Sasuke was putting books away when he heard Naruto enter the study next to his. He chuckled as he heard the blond curse as it seems, he dropped a rather large book on his foot if the THUMP was anything to go by.
After an hour of setting up the place like home, Kyuubi and Itachi herded the boys to their rooms. Naruto to sleep, and Sasuke to change so that he and Itachi could go hunt, as they would be going to school the next day. Kyuubi wished his brother good night and tucked him in. Itachi grabbed Sasuke after he bid Naruto good night, and he told his own mate sweet dreams, and the two left to hunt for this nights feeding.
As Naruto slept he had many thoughts go through his mind. His dream was a whirl of past images. His first meeting of Sasuke, when he learned he was dating a vampire, the aquarium trip where Kyuubi shocked them all, his few brief times with his friends –which he planned to rectify, the days Sasuke gave him gifts, the letter from the Black Prince, the kidnapping by the Vampire Council's planning, learning Sasuke's final secret. Everything caught up to the blond human and exhaustion won out. Naruto slept deeply that night.
When Sasuke returned he checked on Naruto before continued to put way a few of the blonde's things for him, after all vampires didn't sleep and he'd need something to do before the alarm went off, and Naruto prepared for school. Then the two of them would be off to school to face not only Naruto's friends, but his tormentors Sakura and Ino.
'I think it's about time I made it clear to those two that Naruto is mine and not to be messed with.' After many times of being suppressed, the vampires' possessive need made itself known.
AN: OMG! 3'100 word to this chapter! Whoo! And yes, Demitri finally gets his much wanted vacation. Don't kill me cuz I'm late!
