Rin didn't know what she was doing.
She didn't know why she was brought back only to be lugged around the shinobi nations by her old team mate and his little terrorist crew. Sure it was all fun and games at first.
Until they made a new base and began taking missions and murdering people. That sucked. Rin didn't want to be a shinobi again.
Why couldn't they just travel over to the kingdom and petition for a new race like everyone else? What was the point of going on these killing sprees.
No one even cared to hire them much anymore anyway.
"I prefer the body my mother made me." Kisame had once said.
And the opinion was apparently shared by everyone else except for Sasori. Who had blankly stared at everyone before telling them he'd be back with a new body.
No one stopped him from leaving, but they sure were happy when he returned as an elf a few years later.
"I'm back." He stated with a brand new musical voice and a little flute. "I got imprisoned for a few months when I killed my way to the front of the line. But I got a new body after I repented."
Kisame looked a little sheepish. "I heard they're shark mermaids were pretty hot."
"Tobi thinks Kisame wants to fuck a shark." Obito teased.
Kisame barked at him.
"I have pictures I can sell to you for a hundred thousand ryo." Kakuzu grinned. "I'm running low of funds."
Everyone kinda started to feel bad for Kakuzu. He had chosen to stay with them despite the fact that no one could pay him anymore.
Poor guy.
Rin was reaching her adult years when she finally got sick of everyone wandering around aimlessly and decided to teach them how to cultivate.
She'd been doing it as much as she could over the last decade, and she'd eventually managed to redevelop a cultivation technique from faint memories she occasionally got from her time in the spirit world.
So one day she took all of the Akatsuki outside the base in their training field.
"So your just supposed to fucking sit down for ten hours a day? And take in the fucking energy of the universe? What the fuck is this bullshit?" Hidan complained as he sat down in the grassy field outside of their newest base location in grass country. "How am I supposed to get any fucking sacrifices for Jashin-sama like this?"
"Murder is illegal now, Hidan." Rin reminded him sourly. "If we kill anyone, the fairy police will come and genjutsu us till we die."
"Or imprison you." Sasori added.
"That still sounds dumb hm. What kind of bastard creates a military system out of fairies hm?" Deidara complained as he sat down in Obito's lap.
"My brother from the other dimension." Itachi stated as he sat down on top of Deidara.
"Tobi is being crushed. Again." Obito grunted under their combined weight.
"That whole dimension is taking drugs hm, those guys are weird hm." Deidara complained as he wrapped his arms around Itachi's waist and hugged him tightly.
"They certainly are strange. Have any of you met your counterparts yet?" Konan asked curiously as she settled down beside Kakuzu and slipped her delicate hand into his.
Kakuzu squeezed her hand gently and looked around at the others with the same level of curiosity.
"Tobi did! Tobi teleported to the kingdom and saw his counterpart is still alive!" Obito exclaimed with disbelief. "He's normal!"
"Oh that's just wrong." Kisame grumbled sarcastically. "I haven't seen mine."
"Tobi saw everyone else's counterpart too! Tobi thinks they don't like each other at all."
"Really." Nagato hummed. "I haven't heard much about my counterpart, though I'm incredibly curious."
"Nagato's counterpart is married!" Tobi stage whispered to Deidara. Though everyone heard it.
Nagato suddenly wasn't curious anymore.
Deidara just blinked and turned his face just a little to peck Obito's cheek. "What about us hm?"
Obito grinned before wrapping his arms around both of his lovers tightly. "Dei-chan's a dwarf! A super pretty dwarf who works as a sculptor with a guy named Yamato. Ita-chan died as a slave of his brother from his illness though, it's really really sad."
Itachi just shrugged at his counterparts circumstances. He knew if he'd still been hung up on redemption from Sasuke he would have died from Sasuke's hands too. It isn't much of a surprise to him. He blinked when he quickly thought of something. "They didn't revive him did they?"
"Nah, Tobi found out that there's a law against revivals after a period of time! Since that person might have reincarnated already."
"Alright guys, I know this is all fun stuff but I wanted to show you guys how to cultivate." Rin said as she wiped the blood that had been dripping from her nose. "Sit normal now you three."
Itachi 'hnned' and shuffled to Obito's right, Deidara did the same for his left.
"We'll finish this conversation over poker later." Kakuzu told everyone. And everyone perked up at that idea.
Rim smiled at Kakuzu before looking around to make sure everyone was ready to learn. "Alright, as I said before, I developed this technique from my faint memories from the spirit world. It isn't all that difficult, but it does require you to sit still and absorb the energy around us. There is a chance that you might accidentally take in natural chakra and turn into stone, but since spiritual energy is far more abundant than chakra these days that chance is really low."
Rin paused for a moment to see if anyone had any questions. Hidan put his hand up. "Yes?"
"So we could fucking die."
"Hidan-san that's not a question that's a statement." Rin scolded lightly before looking around again. Sasori had his real flesh hand up too.
Rin still found it weird that Sasori looked so normal now, minus the cute pointy ears poking out from the sides of cute fluffy red tufts of angel soft hair. She sighed and wished he were straight so she could date him. It really did suck being in an almost all male group where everyone but the old man was gay. "Yes Sasori-kun?" She asked sweetly.
If Sasori noticed that her tone of voice was nicer with him he didn't mention it. "What's the difference between chakra and Spiritual energy?"
The rest of the group looked towards her eagerly for that answer. Apparently it had been burning little holes in all of their little mortal brains wondering what the difference was. Rin was honestly eager to answer this one too.
"Chakra is a form of energy created by mixing the yin energy in our minds, and the yang energy in our bodies together to create jutsu and enhance our bodies. Spiritual energy doesn't use that energy in our bodies at all. Inside everyone, around here-" Rin gestured to a spot, three inches below her heart. "Is our soul. Our souls base form is actually a small invisible orb, however we can actually make it bigger and change its shape and use the power our soul accumulated through out our life for the exact same things we can use chakra for. The spiritual power is also much stronger, and if we use it up, we don't die. Now, our souls naturally get spiritual energy throughout our lives in a passive state. However it only collects that spiritual energy from our bodies experience and memories."
Obito raised his hand eagerly. "Rin-chan is so smart and pretty! Daddy Tobi is so prooooouuud!! Did you figure that out all by yourself!?"
Obito didn't want to admit that he was absolutely baffled and confused by all the information that didn't really make any sense to him at all. Deidara was equally confused.
Itachi seemed to be the only one amongst them that actually understood that huge block of text.
Rin flushed a little and scratched her cheek as she looked away from her old team mates happy face. "Umm, yes? It's all theoretical but I believe it's right."
Kisame raised his hand then. Rin nodded to him, looking into his beady shark eyes comfortably. If Rin tilted her head a little and squinted, Kisame was actually pretty cute. In a shark kinda way. "So were basically gonna learn how to strengthen our souls and get more of that spiritual energy?"
Rin nodded happily. "Yup! Now, this technique is still a learn as you go type of thing, so after we get to the end of the first level we'll all be in the same boat trying to figure out how to get passed that level together. But that's for a later time. For now I want everyone to cross their legs and put your hands together in a comfortable position. Yes, good job. Now I want all of you to focus on the spot I showed you earlier, and keep your focus on that. You'll need to get to know your soul first and foremost. And trust me, you'll know when you've felt it."
"Levels..?" Deidara whispered with confusion to Obito. "What the fuck hm."
Obito shrugged in response and listened to the instructions along with everyone else.
Rin waited for a moment as she watched everyone close their eyes and focus inwards. Rin nodded with satisfaction and closed her own eyes to start her own cultivation.
In a decade and a half, she had barely scraped by the halfway point of the first level. She never really had the time to do it either since she was always sitting on Obito's shoulders when they wandered around doing missions. Her days off were spent with Obito too, and her nights were spent sleeping in the room next door with her ear against the wall trying to listen to the sounds of the three lovers enjoying themselves.
So she wasn't really all that motivated to work all that hard to cultivate like she could have been.
A few hours passed before everyone slowly came to themselves and opened their eyes again.
"Rin-chan? I think we all found our soul cores." Konan murmured. Rin blinked her eyes open and smiled happily.
"Great! Now that you've all found your souls, you'll need to open them and spread the energy inside of it outwards and suck in the energy from your surroundings."
There was silence for a moment as everyone attempted to absorb that information. "What the fuck?" Hidan swore. "That sounds complicated as fuck."
"Open up my soul hm? Won't we break it hm?" Deidara fidgeted nervously.
Rin tilted her head slightly and back tracked to what she said with confusion. Maybe it did sound a little scary to them if she said it like that? "Hmm, well I suppose if you do it wrong you could accidentally thrust your soul out of your body and die..." Everyone grew a little nervous. "But it's pretty hard to actually do that. I'll explain how to do this step by step okay?"
Her Akatsuki students nodded. "Alright first close your eyes and focus on your souls once again. Now to open up your soul you just gotta slowly loosen the film around your soul with little vibrations of chakra for now. Later when you get used to using spiritual energy this part will be easier. Okay? Good you guys got it. Alright now you use your chakra to surround your spiritual energy inside your soul and bring it out carefully, as slowly as you can. Yes that's good. The next part is a little harder, see you gotta imagine that your spiritual energy is like a vacuum, a slow low electricity vacuum that doesn't really pick up dirt that well. Once you have the picture in your mind you put it into your soul and the energy should copy it exactly as you imagined it. As you grow comfortable with that you can slowly up the absorption." Rin explained helpfully.
Rin then closed her eyes to continue cultivating for a while. She smiled warmly when she noticed they were all getting it right on their first try. She was proud that all her hard work in figuring it out had come in handy to help everyone else easily.
Naruto was lying down in the bed that once belonged to Severus-nee and his husband. His mind was blank and his emotions drained from the years of trying to find a way to bring Severus back.
Minato never came back after he'd sent him and his real dad here fifteen years ago. Naruto didn't know what he was doing, but he did know that he'd used the ten tails to open a permanent gate between the two universes.
Naruto hated the fact that Kurama and his siblings had been transformed into a mindless gate with no other purpose than to be stepped through. Though there wasn't anything he could do about it. He'd gone to see that gate and touched it with his hands and felt the power vibrating from it.
It was clear to him that the minds behind the bijuu had been erased. Killed in favour of turning that power into a physical object.
Naruto sighed and turned onto his stomach to hide his face into Severus-nee's pillow. The scent had long since faded, but it still gave him a bit of comfort to hold the pillow like he had once held Severus when he slept.
He still didn't know what he'd done to make Severus vanish like he did. His chakra never disobeyed him again, and it didn't give any hints away to what it had done either.
"Naru?" Kakashi said tentatively outside the door. Naruto slowly sat up and deactivated the seals. It was rare that Kakashi sought him out to talk, so even though he wasn't in the mood, he ignored those feelings and let him in.
"Come in."
Kakashi opened the door and walked in, his tail set low and twitching slightly in nervousness. After what had happened, Naruto hadn't been doing much to keep his relationship intact with Kakashi.
He hadn't felt the need to anymore. Overtime they'd just drifted apart.
Naruto looked at the man in front of him tiredly. He wasn't all that interested in talking to him, even though at one point Kakashi had been the centre of his life and affections. He just didn't like that Kakashi had been so defensive towards Minato especially after what he'd done.
Naruto regretted what he'd done so much, and Kakashi had been furious with him for it too. He'd taken Minato's side completely. The only person who had taken his side was his dad, but after everything that happened, Naruto couldn't really bring himself to trust that man either.
His dad had ended up getting along well with Orochimaru here, and eventually they'd ended up dating over time. Naruto was waiting for the time that his dad realized that Severus and Orochimaru were exactly the same. Waiting for the time that he realized that Naruto had basically destroyed another version of his lover.
Maybe he didn't even have to wait, since he hadn't spoken with his dad in years.
Sai and Kabuto had moved out, his dad and Orochimaru moved out, Sasuke had forsaken him for killing the man he'd considered his second big brother and also moved out.
Kakashi had stayed, but Naruto mostly kept to himself these days. Sure they ate together sometimes and sometimes met in the baths but they never really spoke much anymore.
It was awkward.
"Naru.. I..I miss you." Kakashi whispered, his clawed fingers clasped together in front of him. His pretty wolf ears were flat against his head and his bottom lip was slightly quivering between his teeth.
Naruto sighed. He was too drained to deal with this right now.
"I-I know I was mad..but you have to understand that Minato was my sensei. Before I knew you, he was the one I cared for with everything I had. It broke my heart knowing that you were the one to destroy his husband. I-I know you wouldn't have done it on purpose but I just needed some time...some time to come to terms with it. Minato-sensei isn't going to come back, not for me and not for anyone. He's somewhere out there crying his eyes out and no one can help him but...your the same aren't you? You miss Severus just as much as he does and regret it even more. I-I understand that. I've understood it for a long time now and I just... I don't want to see you being sad anymore. I miss you. Naru, I need you." Kakashi slowly stuttered out. Kakashi winced a little as he realized that didn't come out exactly the way he'd planned it.
Naruto was silent for a long time before he closed his eyes. "You've been practicing that haven't you, Kashi.."
Kakashi nodded slowly and took a step forward. "I don't like to see you suffering, Naru. And Severus would hate to see you like this."
Naruto sunk into himself as another wave of sadness filled him. "I deserve it." He rasped.
"No one deserves depression. No matter what they did. Naru it's okay-"
"It's not!" Naruto protested as he shook his head adamantly. "It's not okay!"
"It is." Kakashi said grimly. "Severus may be gone now but that doesn't mean you need to drown yourself in work like you do. He isn't coming back, and you need to let it go. It's been fifteen years already."
"I can't..."
"You can, Naru." Kakashi whispered. Kakashi was beside him then and gently pushing him down into the bed to pull him into his arms.
Kakashi absently noticed that he was taller than him now. Naruto stiffened in his arms before he slowly relaxed into the warmth of the embrace and buried his face into Kakashi's chest. Naruto was silent for a long time before he tried to pull away. "I don't deserve this..."
"Well maybe I deserve this don't you think? Maybe I deserve to have this with you because I need it. Stop being selfish and love me again." Kakashi grumbled before he pulled Naruto even closer and dropped little kisses on wet cheeks.
Naruto hiccuped and brought his arms around Kakashi's waist to hug him back. "I- right..no, your absolutely right. Kashi...I-I love you."
"Don't ignore me anymore either.."
"I'll try-"
"Don't try just do it."
Naruto gulped back the lump in his throat and nodded into his chest, holding Kakashi like his life depended on it.
"Kabuto-kun."
Kabuto looked up at Sai with exasperation, midway through eating mochi. Did he have to bother him at such inopportune times? Why couldn't he get all talkative when they were relaxing in the living room? Or when they're about to fall asleep like normal people?
Kabuto just wanted to eat in peace. But he put down his chopsticks and his mochi with it and steepled his fingers before resting his chin on them. He looked at Sai and gave him his undivided attention.
Sai smiled brightly at the sight of his best friend choosing him over mochi. He liked making Kabuto put down the things he was doing in favour of listening to him like this.
"Why don't you ever participate in coitus with me?"
Kabuto slowly closed his eyes and sighed deeply. "Sai-kun, I'm your best friend, and you are mine. Just because we are doesn't mean we can have sex. I don't want to, simply because I know for a fact that I'm not physically attracted to you."
Sai tilted his head with a cute pout. "But Kabuto-kun, I'm attracted to you. This seems unfair."
Kabuto blinked once. "I understand. You've brought this up enough times and have attempted to seduce me in numerous ways over the years." Kabuto stated blandly.
Sai frowned as he looked down at his nimble fingers. "I don't like that you refuse me."
"It can't be helped, Sai. I'm not attracted to you like that." Kabuto said matter of factly.
"How do you know for sure? We haven't kissed at all, and I haven't touched you at all either. How do you know for sure you don't want to have sex with me?" Sai was puzzled, and the familiar squeezing feeling in his chest had appeared once more when Kabuto only sighed and leaned back in his chair.
"You are so stubborn, Sai." Kabuto frowned. "You know I love you. This love I feel for you is strong and unbreakable, and completely unconditional. It does not mean that I want your body in any way other than to have hugs once in a while."
"You also don't want me to date anyone else." Sai added. "And yet, I have needs. Needs that you will not help me fulfill."
Kabuto felt the sourness in his mouth and grimaced at the thought of his best friend with anyone else. It sickened him to think of the boy he'd seen grow into such an enchanting young man underneath someone else. He knew he wasn't interested in sexually satisfying him, but that didn't mean he wanted anyone else to either. "Is masterbation no longer enough for you?"
Sai felt his face go blank as he thought back to last night when he had last tried it. The toys Kabuto had gifted to him were amazing, but he couldn't help but want to have Kabuto there instead. Was there no way to get that to happen? At all? He didn't understand how Kabuto could just...not be interested in him at all.
Not be interested and yet not want him with anyone else. Sai never was able to understand it, even after years of being with him.
"I just want to have sex with you, not with the toys you gave me." Sai murmured slowly. "I feel as if what we have isn't enough for me. I don't like it at all. I want to be closer to you."
Kabuto felt his insides flutter against his will as he mirrored Sai's blank expression. "Then I suppose it's about time that I confess something to you, Sai."
Sai looked up abruptly, his face eager and patient. He'd been patient forever. He could be patient for a few more minutes to understand the real reasons behind Kabuto's constant rejections.
"I have erectile disfunction."
Sai stilled as his eyes slowly widened with understanding.
"During my younger years I went through trauma not unlike your own. I was also in the root program, however I had been in it since I was seven. My emotions weren't completely erased from the training. My mother died while I was working undercover in kiri, and when I returned to that news I broke. I became the blank slate that Danzo needed from me, and took on personality after personality in undercover missions until I no longer knew who I was. Even now I do not know what I like and what I don't like. I do not know if how I act right now is me, or a mixture of all the persona's I'd learned over the years. With this internal confusion inside of me, I have come to realize that I have erectile disfunction."
Sai closed his mouth and gave out a shuddering breath before he slumped in his chair. "Your whole life had led you to this current problem of being unable to get an erection."
"Yes."
Sai didn't know exactly what to say about that.
"I know this for a fact, I have watched you in the baths and during the times you use your toys and my penis had no reaction." Kabuto said a little shyly. "I'm sorry for not explaining this earlier, it is a bit embarrassing for me."
Sai nodded slowly then sighed before getting up and walking around the table. He pushed Kabuto's chair back and dropped to his knees and began to fiddle with the zipper of Kabuto's jeans.
"It's not going to work, Sai." Kabuto frowned as he watched Sai work to take off his pants.
Sai ignored him and pulled the pants from his hips and brought them off of his legs. He set the pants aside neatly then brought up a glowing green hand to his floppy member before gently taking it into his fingers and slowly massaging it.
Kabuto twitched a bit and watched curiously with a tilted head as Sai worked glowing green fingers on his body. He could feel the gentle ministrations, pressing and prodding, as well as the soothing sensation of fingers fiddling with his sack. Very slowly, Kabuto relaxed into the sensations and leaned back into the chair, closing his eyes.
Sai frowned slightly as he continued what he was doing. He didn't care that there was no real physical response to his touches, but he did like the way Kabuto had noticeably relaxed and sighed with pleasure once in a while. So he carefully continued, healing what he could as he brought his fingers up and down the clean flesh.
"Kabuto-kun... if you would put your legs over my shoulders.. I want to try something.." Sai said softly.
Kabuto nodded distractedly and did what was asked of him. He looked down once more and blinked when he noticed Sai was putting lube on his fingers. "Interesting idea Sai, but I don't imagine that will work either. By all means, try all you like."
Sai sent him a small glare before dropping the bottle of lube on the floor and slowly pressing a finger into Kabuto's entrance. "You know about that spot as much as I. I want to be certain that you don't have any reaction to it being pressed."
Kabuto hummed and did his best to get comfortable in the chair. He closed his eyes and felt a shiver up his spine as cold slippery fingers slipped inside of him. He swallowed back spit and held back a moan when he felt Sai's other hand return to his soft dick to gently squeeze and pump it.
Sai blinked a little when he felt a slight twitch under his fingers before a small smile reached his lips. Relief filled him when he noticed Kabuto was actually responding to this. His body was quickly adjusting to the sensations and sending the right hormones to his brain and down to his shaft.
Kabuto himself didn't completely realize he was slowly getting hard. He was just enjoying the chakra from Sai's fingers and the touches. His muscles occasionally spasmed when the fingers inside of him brushed that delicious spot, and gasps of air were forced from his lips.
He clutched the edges of the chair when Sai upped the amount of fingers and wondered briefly if Sai was planning to go all the way with him. He was beginning to believe he wouldn't be completely against it as he'd assumed earlier.
He could feel sparks of pleasure racing up his spine and down to his toes, and pooling in his gut and coiling like a spring preparing to burst. He swallowed back a gasp when the fingers pumping him brushed over the head of his cock. He quickly looked down and huffed out a gasping breath at the sight of himself.
Hard.
Sai was so focused, his eyes slightly closed as both of his hands worked to push and pull at him. Kabuto was startled, and a little ashamed that he'd doubted his body's ability for so long. He just hadn't wanted to try this out when Sai was so obviously eager for it. He didn't want to hurt Sai. He didn't want him to go away either.
He hadn't wanted Sai to do this and find out that nothing worked and lose interest. He had been an idiot though hadn't he?
Sai moved his head forward then, his tongue flicking out to taste and lick. Kabuto watched, entranced at the sight and not really knowing why. There was something amazing about seeing that little pink tongue lapping at him and sucking on him like that. The images burned into his brain as the pleasure in his gut coiled even tighter. He could feel his muscles tensing and did his best to relax to Sai's touches.
He tried to relax the muscles in his cock and gasped when he suddenly spilled into his mouth. His vision went white for a blissful second, and he felt every nerve ending in his body with a clarity that resembled being in a life or death fight. Sai was startled for a second, which ended up being a mistake as sperm overfilled his mouth and slipped down Kabuto's dick. He choked and gulped, making Kabuto curl in on himself with a hissing gasp.
Sai panicked a little, knowing he hadn't done that right. He was supposed to swallow it all like the books said!
Sai quickly did his best to clean Kabuto with his tongue, he slipped his fingers deeper inside of him and licked at the cum that had dripped to his balls while his other hand held on to the base of Kabuto's cock firmly.
Kabuto was a shuddering mess, his body was oversensitive and he just wanted to push Sai away to go and clean up properly. "Ugh...Sai.."
"-sorry.." Sai said in between licks.
"No-no it's okay I'm the one who should be sorry- ah fuck, SAI!"
"Hm?"
"Can you stop for a sec-nnnmm oh no don't, keep doing that.."
"..hai."
The end.

So uhh thanks for reading this.
