Celestia193's Author's Note: Sorry that this update took so long, things have been kind of crazy, I've had homework, got sick, got sick again, lost inspiration to write, had to write a romance for class, etc…etc…stuff. But, as an apology, we have a lemon for you. Sasuke tops this time, so if that's not your cup of tea…add some lemon and sugar, and turn it into hot juice.

Chapter 14

Finally. Finally, there was some progress being made. Orochimaru was growing impatient, and he almost thought that Anko had betrayed him, what with how long it was taking to even get a preliminary report on the fledgling. Now, though…now, he had information about the youngest Uchiha's current activities. The boy was training. How…quaint.

After looking through the last of the photographs he had been sent, after all, no vampire could survive long without adapting to a new era's trends and technologies, he nods approvingly. "Well done, Anko. What is his status now, and when do you expect to be able to bring him to me?"

"It would be next to impossible at the moment." Anko sighs and looks at Orochimaru. "It seems that he's now Sasuke's lover and more than that, I've seen them refer to each other as their bloodmates." Which meant…Sasuke was almost assuredly drinking regularly again and more likely than not, he was drinking Itachi's blood. Vampire blood.

"I see." An unfortunate complication, but nothing more. Orochimaru was more than a match for Sasuke Uchiha, he knew that. He had four hundred years on the boy, and while he was not nearly as old as Indra, he was plenty older than the whelp. "In that case, it may be to our advantage to utilize this new connection. Sasuke has known much tragedy in his life. If he believes that Itachi is lost to him forever…" Well, it would most assuredly break whatever remained of the ninja's spirit.

"Lord Orochimaru wouldn't it be better to go after easier prey?" She pauses. "Sasuke is formidable on his own, but targeting them does risk incurring Indra's wrath."

"No one has seen hide nor hair of Indra in decades. He has, as they say, cut the umbilical cord." Of that, Orochimaru was certain. "Sasuke has been independent of Indra for centuries. In any case, you should have no fear. Even if Sasuke were to retaliate, he has no interest in 'lackeys' as he calls them. He would sooner attempt to hunt me down, than trifle with you. If…you were foolish enough to be caught, that is."

She bites her lower lip and nods. "Yes, Lord Orochimaru." She did not have a good feeling about this.

"Good, then I expect your next report soon." And hopefully, the Uchiha brat not long after. The anticipation was palpable, Orochimaru could just…taste it.

"Yes, Sir." She hangs up and heads off on the assignment that she was quite certain as suicidal at this point, but then again, so was defying Orochimaru.

Sasuke waits in the large, wooden bath built into the floor, his eyes closed as he waits and listens, his head pillowed on his arms as he leans against the side of the 'tub'. It was a good place to do his own meditation, so that was precisely how he was occupying his time as he counted down the seconds until Itachi's three hours were up. His mate would no doubt race inside as soon as that clock hit zero. And that would be a most…interesting happenstance.

…It was not long before he felt the stirrings at the entrance to the manor. And at the sound of footsteps of vampiric speed, he smirks. "Someone is rather fast when they're frustrated." He opens a single ruby eye and scrutinizes his descendant as the door slams open. "Did you finish your whole three hours?"

Silky, usually spiky hair tamped down against his neck by the warm water, curled up and lounging against the side as he was, Sasuke knew precisely what sort of picture of innocence he projected. It was one that he usually had reserved only for his duties, but… Well, it would be amusing to see Itachi's reaction, to say the least.

"You have the face of an angel, but you're still an evil demon sometimes." Itachi rolls his eyes as he pulls his shirt over his head slowly. Two could play that game. "I finished the three hours though. Three very long and frustrating hours."

Sasuke's smirk becomes more visible now. "Oh, I know I'm a demon, and most of Edo knew it too. But tell me, did you listen until you could hear no more?" He wouldn't be taken in by Itachi's tricks, though the view was still rather nice.

Warning Lemon

Itachi unzips his pants and slowly begins sliding them off. "Yes, I did exactly as you said." He should bend him over the side of the tub and just give his ancestor the spanking he so thoroughly deserved.

"Then I look forward to seeing you try to describe every single thing you heard." If Itachi had truly grasped the concept so quickly, then he would likely be listening for several hours. Sasuke doubted that the technique had been learned quite that quickly. "I kept the bath warm, just like I promised." It was still steaming a little as Sasuke lazily watches his mate strip.

"I prefer it when you use that sarcastic mouth of yours for more pleasurable reasons than to taunt me." Itachi slides out of his boxers and soon joins his Mate in the bath.

"Is that so?" Sasuke shakes his head, then presses a kiss to Itachi's lips. "Then try being less amusing to tease, and maybe I'll get bored of it." Itachi nips his tongue lightly in retaliation as he sucks on it, savoring the taste of Sasuke's bittersweet blood.

Sasuke chuckles, leaning over to press Itachi against the side of the bath. "Someone's feeling frisky." He reaches a hand into the water, smirking as he discovers just how much so. "How…sweet." He squeezes the hardened flesh in his hand, stroking it firmly as he presses kisses to Itachi's neck. He sinks his fangs into Itachi's skin, purging the taste of his own blood from his mouth with Itachi's.

"You left me alone for three hours." Itachi groans as he bucks into Sasuke's touch and he tilts his head to the side. "Of course, I want your touch. You were an evil tease." Not at all worried about exposing his neck to the other vampire.

Humming appreciatively, Sasuke sinks his fangs deeper into his one source of blood, taking in several long draughts of it, before lapping up the scattered drops. "I tease because you make it easy, because it's amusing, because it passes the time." His fingers dance along Itachi's length, rubbing the skin in and out of place as he massages it with a practiced hand. "But you had best get used to long hours without me, you still need to train. And while you do, I will be sure to restrain myself."

"It was more that you got me wound up and left me." He wasn't that dependent. "I want to be near you, but I understand that's not always an option." He sighs in pleasure at the gentle stroking and the feeling of Sasuke's teeth over his skin.

"And I'm sorry for that, but there's just a lot to teach you. A crash course seemed…a requirement." Sasuke's red eyes flicker back up to Itachi's, and he raises a hand to run it through soft black strands, now damp with the steam, the ends floating and swirling in the hot water. "Though I suppose that winding you up like that was a little cruel. Maybe…I should make it up to you."

Itachi nods his head sagely. "Yes, you should." Damn right, Sasuke should. He had been a sadistic tease. He was entitled to some damn satisfaction.

"Alright, then…" Sasuke was rather glad that breathing was no longer a requirement, otherwise this would be…uncomfortable, at best. And, with a smirk on his face, he backs off and sinks beneath the water, the heat in utter contrast to his normally cool skin. Itachi's image above the water was just a little on the distorted side, but that was no bother. Not when the goal of Sasuke's mouth was Itachi's cock, which he had no compunctions about grazing his fangs against as he took the head into his mouth.

"Fuck!" There were definitely benefits to having a four hundred year old vampire as your lover. "Yes, this is much better than being taunted." He was already fully aroused and it probably wouldn't take long for him to tumble over the edge.

Sasuke couldn't hear Itachi, but he could read lips well enough, and the words tumbling from Itachi's mouth had him smirking around the cock in his own mouth. Taking it deeper, he hollows his cheeks, sucking hard and swallowing around the stiff erection, his hands on Itachi's thighs and holding them apart for his own comfort.

He sighs in pleasure as he threats his fingers through Sasuke's raven tresses. "I think this is probably going to be our version of kissing and making up." It was going to be very hard to stay irritated with the other vampire at this rate.

Chuckling around the length in his mouth, Sasuke makes sure to allow the vibrations to travel right from the tip of Itachi's cock, lodged deep in his throat, to the base, where his fingers were inching forward, cupping him gently, and rolling the swollen sack in his palm.

"Damn it!" He came with a snarl of pleasure. "The things that you can do with your mouth should probably be illegal, but I don't care."

Once every drop is swallowed, Sasuke rises slowly from the water, drops of an entirely different kind rolling down his body. "I actually do know a few things that are illegal to do. People just don't know that they're illegal because the laws haven't been invoked in centuries."

Well that sounded interesting. "You certainly have my attention." As Itachi seemed to have Sasuke's. "Do you want me to return the favor?" He reaches a hand down and strokes Sasuke with smooth fingers.

Sasuke rolls his hips against Itachi's hand, more drops shimmering as they fall down his skin with every ripple. "I don't know…" What he did know was that Itachi's hand felt almost as good as his mouth in the water. "I kind of like the idea of bending you over the side of the bath. I'm sure that you've had similar thoughts."

"It crossed my mind to bend you over." He nods at him sagely. "You did deserve a spanking, but as you already apologized, I decided to be lenient."

"Good." Sasuke smirks as he presses a kiss to Itachi's lips, plunging his tongue deep into his mate's mouth as he corners the younger vampire against the wall of the bath. "Because spanking is utterly humiliating, and…I'm horny." Again. Like usual. Because becoming a vampire meant that all of the repressed emotions he'd had were magnified. And lo and behold…apparently his human self was secretly a nympho. But that didn't bug him, he'd had four hundred years to come to terms with that bit of misfortune. Well, a misfortune until now.

Itachi smiles at that. "Well I rather like it when you're feeling...shall we say affectionate?" The word horny just seemed…well, amusing to hear Sasuke say. He couldn't imagine calling Sasuke that to his face though.

Affectionate? Really? Rolling his eyes, along with his hips, Sasuke presses their lips together again as he closes the distance and wraps his arms around Itachi's neck. He tugs on Itachi's hair pulling his mate's head back as he gives himself better leverage over Itachi's larger frame.

Itachi eagerly kisses him back and chuckles at the eye rolling. That was Sasuke for you. Cocky even during sex.

Grinding down, Sasuke could feel Itachi's flagging arousal coming back to life. So, he grinds down harder, enjoying the friction, even if it's gone and squished Itachi's hand between their bodies. "I wonder…what would your ass look like, bent over the side of the bath?"

"Hm…you're a little bit of a perfectionist and controlling, but I don't mind." Itachi smiles as he kisses him. "You can take control. You always make me feel so good." He caresses his cheek, after breaking the kiss. "Whether I'm burying myself inside you or the other way around."

"I'm glad you feel that way." Finally, it was time to pay Itachi back properly for that week that they spent in bed. "Because we'll probably be in here for a few hours, since you won't be able to walk." And luckily, vampires didn't wrinkle like prunes in the bath, though Sasuke wasn't entirely sure why. Probably something about water retention.

Itachi shakes his head and smiles as he extricates himself from Sasuke's hold, and leans over the side of the tub. "I love you and I'm not concerned about walking." Itachi chances a glance over his shoulder at Sasuke. "Because I know that you'll be the one carrying me around the estate. And you can explain why to our friends...including Aoda."

Sasuke smirk widens as he runs a hand up one of Itachi's thighs. "Well, I'm sure that if I were to fuck you into unconsciousness and needed to carry you around, I could explain easily how that happened. Assuming, of course, that they did catch us between here and my bedroom." His other hand goes to work kneading the muscles of Itachi's backside, finding them in desperate need of loosening.

"Someone is feeling rather confident today." Fuck him into unconsciousness? "Though that does feel good." He wondered how serious Sasuke was about that statement.

"Good, because I do hope that you'll indulge my confidence. After all…" He trails kisses up Itachi's spine, before nipping at the back of his neck. "I indulged you for the better part of a week."

Sixty-forty, his ass, more like ninety-ten, at best. Sasuke had barely gotten a word in about how they made love, more often than not just finding himself already in position by the time it became clear what was going on. It was mostly a blur, really. A blur that his ass most certainly remembered as he uses the warm water to relax Itachi's entrance as the first of his fingers wiggles slowly inside.

Itachi sighs in pleasure at the kisses. "There's very little that I wouldn't indulge you in." That felt nice. "You're my bloodmate."

"…Yes…I am." Though Sasuke was fairly certain that Itachi had only scratched the surface in his understanding of just what that meant. For now, though, he'd focus on his mate, his wonderful, beautiful mate…the one who was making life look just a little more worth living. And that meant thorough stretching, because Sasuke was…not small. "Now…if I remember right…" He worms his finger in a little deeper, before pressing down sharply into one of Itachi's walls.

Itachi tenses slightly, but soon relaxes. While he had been more aggressive with Sasuke than most of his lovers, that was mostly because of their age difference. "It's alright. It doesn't hurt." He didn't want Sasuke to view him as a child, but he didn't mind being the more accommodating lover.

"Good." Deciding that it was because of the change in positions, Sasuke reaches a little further, slowly sliding in a second finger as he rubs firmly against the soft, muscular insides.

Itachi knew that Sasuke was trying to take his time with him and the younger vampire didn't mind that. he was more than prepared to wait. "Ah! Fuck!" That was until Sasuke touched that spot inside him that made him see stars.

"There it is…" Sasuke smiles…rather affectionately as he rubs that spot firmly. "Good, because I'm not in the mood to play Hide and Seek." So he slips a third finger in, sneaking the fourth along with it as he stretches Itachi wide open, increasing the pressure on the gland bit by bit.

Itachi moans and arches back against his lover. He was teasing that spot and driving him half insane with desire. It almost wasn't fair.

"I love it when you moan for me…" Satisfied with the reaction, and confident that he wouldn't hurt Itachi, Sasuke withdraws his fingers in an instant, sheathing himself immediately within his mate. "Nngh…Though it takes third place behind this."

"Feels so fucking good." The vampire hisses in pleasure as he writhes underneath Sasuke and against the bathtub, lost in pleasure.

"Nghm." Sasuke braces himself against the side of the bath, his arms encircling Itachi, caging him in as Sasuke leans down to press his chest to his mate's back. "So good…" He goes about peppering Itachi's neck with kisses as he thrusts forward suddenly, kick-starting a rapid, powerful pace.

He could feel him everywhere. The surprising warmth of his chest against his own back and his cock buried deep inside him. "S-Sasuke!" Always striking that spot that made him want to scream. So that's what he did.

Sasuke's hands find Itachi's, lacing their fingers together as he thrust hard into his mate, feeling his release soon approaching. "Mine." His fangs graze along Itachi's neck. "Mine…" He licks his favorite spot long and slow, unlike the quick snapping of his hips, and then plunges his fangs into Itachi's neck, the sweet taste of chocolate and spices making his tongue tingle and his possessive instinct tremble.

"Yes!" Itachi was barely coherent at this point, but he didn't care about that. "Always." Just as long as Sasuke didn't stop because he was hurtling towards another orgasm and he knew that it was going to be glorious

As the pleasure races up his cock, Sasuke slams into Itachi's sweet spot, his release begging to be shot into his lover, his precious Itachi… "Cum for me, Itachi." Stringing words together was hard, but he would manage it. "Scream my name…as we go together." He could sense Itachi's pleasure, it was so thick in the air that it was nearly tangible. And Sasuke loved the taste of it.

He had absolutely no qualms with complying with the other man's requests. "SASUKE!" Itachi scarcely recognized the sound of his own voice as he screams Sasuke's name and his release shatters through him. Almost overwhelming in its intensity.

"Itachi!" Sasuke's grip tightens, all of his muscles tightening as his body rocks with a powerful orgasm. Itachi's voice rings in his ears, letting in no other sound, not even that of his own voice. He rides out the orgasm slowly, feeling his cock soften as he pulls it out inch by inch.

"Fuck." Itachi pants as he tries desperately to catch the breath that he didn't actually need.

"Fuck…" Sasuke could definitely agree to that. He wasn't panting, but it amused him that Itachi was. "Well…" He nuzzles along Itachi's neck, smiling into the sun-kissed skin. "That was fun…"

"Mhm." Itachi sighs in contentment. "Very fun." He certainly had a rather gifted lover.

Sasuke smirks as one of his hands travels back to his own cock, stroking it gently, but with increasing firmness, as it increased in…firmness. It would take him several minutes, at least, but he hadn't been lying earlier. Itachi wasn't going to be able to walk by the end of the night. He bites Itachi's ear, though not hard enough to draw blood as he growls softly. "Ready for round two? I do have a promise to keep, after all."

End of Lemon

"You're a bit of an animal." Itachi shakes his head in amusement at Sasuke as he kisses him. "Which is probably one of the reasons why I love you. Alright."

Sasuke should probably be offended by being called an animal, but to be fair, he wore a hawk's mask, and kept a dragon as a pet. He was hardly normal to begin with. "I love you too." He kisses back with all of the fire an passion that Itachi had painstakingly managed to rekindle in his soul. "So…so…much…"

"Then prove it." Itachi smiles slyly at him. "I believe you said something about making love to me until I was unconscious?"

"Yes…I believe that I did." And it was a promise that Sasuke was very much looking forward to keeping. "Try to stay awake, I like a challenge."

"That sounds promising." Itachi smirks.

Oh, it was…it most definitely was…

Jugo shakes his head. "No, Suigetsu." He wouldn't allow it because Sasuke would kill him. "You're not planning bachelor parties for them in advance." The merman now knew that Itachi and Sasuke were Mates and as usual, he wanted to cause some mischief.

"Aw, come on. You know as well as I do that they're joined at the hip." And probably a few other places, too. "Besides, it's been ages since Sassy had some real fun." And Suigetsu was determined to at least make sure that Sasuke had some amusement once in a while. His friend was NOT going to stay one of those boring old ancient vampires. Not with a modern baby vamp for a mate.

"I don't know who would kill you first, if you did it." Jugo shakes his head. "Itachi in a jealous rage or Sasuke in an annoyed one." Either way, it wouldn't be pretty.

"Pfft, Sassy likes me too much to kill me, and I'm more than a match for a baby bloodsucker." Honestly, it felt like Jugo had absolutely no faith in him. "But fine, whatever. If you wanna keep the kid from getting jealous, you can do that. But it's gonna happen sooner or later." After all, Sasuke was never short on offers, and Suigetsu was pretty sure Itachi would go ballistic on some poor human if they hit on Sasuke in a less…controlled setting.

Karin shakes her head as though she couldn't believe how reckless her mate was being. "You know, they're going to wreck that pretty face of yours." The half succubus sighs. "Probably will have to take you to a healer to get it fixed."

Suigetsu rolls his eyes at his sexy redhead. "Well, at least you admit that my face is pretty." Getting any sort of compliment out of her was a crusade in itself. And the merman didn't have time for that shit. Not when he was too busy feeding her.

"Course it is." She kisses his cheek. "After all, you didn't think that a succubus would be mated to an ugly person, did you?" She giggles at he thought.

Of course, all about her, like always. The merman rolls his eyes once more, before cupping Karin's chin and none too gently locking their lips together.

Such was the sight that one curious dragon poked his head through the hedges to see.

Jugo's eyes widen in surprise as he sees the dragon. "Gods and goddesses!" He points towards it. "Karin, Suigetsu! A dragon!" He'd never thought he'd actually see one.

Aoda bobs his head towards the three human-like creatures that smelled of Master Sasuke. "Hello."

Karin stares in shock. "It really is a dragon!" And it apparently could talk. "Hello?" What did one say to a dragon, anyway?

"Yeah, yeah, it's a dragon, great." Suigetsu rolls his eyes, disappointed that Karin was so easily distracted from making out. "We've got plenty of them underwater." They weren't THAT big a deal. Hell, sometimes merpeople even ate them.

She swats Suigetsu. "Why didn't you ever tell me that?!" Dragons were amazing! He should have told her there were dragons where he came from.

"OWE! Goddamn, woman!It's not my fault you never asked about the giant sea monsters!" How was this his fault at all? "There's like a billion of them in the Sea of Japan!"

Aoda nods unhappily. "Yes, I have many cousins in the ocean. But they have always been hard for the humans to hunt." On land, though, the dragons had been hunted nearly to extinction centuries ago.

"How has no one realized that there are that many underwater dragons around?" She blinks at the thought and hugs the mournful Aoda. "It's alright."

Aoda hums happily as Karin's arms reach halfway around his snout. "I like this one. But do not be sad, Lady. Master Sasuke has always been good to me. That is why I come to tell him of the bad smell in the forest."

"The bad smell?" Jugo looks at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Did someone drop something in the bamboo grove?" Suigetsu cringes. "Sasuke isn't gonna like that…"

"No, it smells like vampire, and death, and rotting scales." It was a smell that Aoda really didn't like. Master Sasuke smelled much better. So did Master Itachi. "I've never smelled such a thing before."

"Rotting scales?" Karin blinks. "That sounds pretty bad. We should probably break up the love nest."

Suigetsu stares at his lover incredulously. "Are you insane? You want to tear those two away from each other right now?" He was pretty sure that he knew what those two were up to in the bath. "You're crazy!"

"It'll be even worse, if we don't tell Sasuke something is going on." Karin sighs and shakes her head. "And you know it." They all knew what Sasuke's temper was like.

"Alright, alright" Suigetsu holds his hands up in surrender. "Then let the dragon do it. He might be less pissed than if one of us interrupted his sexy time with the baby vamp."

"Yeah." Jugo looks at Aoda, hoping the Dragon wouldn't mind taking pity on them. "Do you think you could?"

That dragon bobs his scaly head. "I will inform Master Sasuke." After all, he could smell the vampire from here, and could track him and his little mate down easily enough. And while Aoda preferred being outdoors, Sasuke had long since extended an invitation for Aoda to come inside the manor. He had just never had cause to make use of the dragon door built into the back of the massive house.

It seemed that that was about to change.
