Celestia193's Author's Note: On the menu today, we have lemonade! A double glass. Oh, and dragons, we have dragons for you too, because Aoda has been a good guard dragon, and deserves a lady dragon to have baby dragons with. Also, Sasuke can be a romantic sap when he wants. Side-Note: The Ogopogo is a monster thought to live in Lake Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada. The Loch Ness Monster/Nessie, is of course thought to be found in Loch (Lake) Ness, Scotland.
Chapter 23
Sometimes, Sasuke just wanted to lie in bed and sleep. Sleeping was better than thinking, because thinking meant that everything he DIDN'T want to think about was there, just waiting to be touched. So…sleep, because he didn't want to touch it yet. And eventually, it would get easier to just forget about it.
And for those reasons, Sasuke buries himself in his blankets, trying in vain to go to sleep, even as his mind whirls unpleasantly. And if Itachi wanted to work on…whatever it was that his mate was working on, then Sasuke wouldn't stop him. After all, Kakashi and Indra were each doing their own thing, so why not Itachi too?
Sasuke sighs, turning over and away from the curtain. He hadn't had blood in a couple of days, which was a good thing, because he no longer felt like he was going to throw up. But these last few days…had been nothing short of the most emotional, and most stressful disaster Sasuke could remember.
That's when Itachi comes into his room. "Sasuke, I have a surprise for you." He smiles as he saunters over to his mate. "I think you'll like it." And it looked like it wasn't a moment too soon. Sasuke looked like Hell.
The elder vampire glances back over his shoulder at his mate. "What kind of surprise?" He had to remind himself that this was not Suigetsu, and therefore, he should not be running for the hills, just because someone said surprise.
"Oh one that I think you'll like." He smiles at him slyly. "Come see. It was a bit on the expensive side, but I think you'll agree that it was well worth it." Itachi offers his Mate his hand.
Expensive, and enough to get Itachi smiling like that? "…Fine…" Sasuke could let himself be dragged out of bed for that. He rolls back over and reaches for a yukata, slipping it on before reaching for his mate's gentle hand.
Itachi smiles at Sasuke's compliance. "You talked about it before, but I took some initiative." The mirror room. His Mate was apparently rather exotic when it came to his tastes. With that thought in mind, he leads Sasuke off to the newly minted mirror room, carefully opening the door. He'd been working on it for a couple of days, and was eager to open the door and show his mate. "Do you like it?"
Sasuke blinks at the sight of one of the spare rooms, done up so that every surface had shaped, curved, and angled mirrors installed across them. He could see himself from every angle as he walked into the kaleidoscopic room. "…The room of mirrors." And the fact that there was a low, circular bed set up in the middle of the room was very telling. "Well, you've definitely distracted me." If his opponents back in the day had known that this is what it would take to accomplish that much, he might have seen more challenges in his career.
"Good." Itachi kisses him. "This was what you wanted, wasn't it?" He desperately needed to get his Mate's mind out of his current melancholy. "To be able to watch us making love from every angle?"
"Mhm…" That was definitely one of Sasuke's ideas, though he hadn't expected Itachi to go for it so…readily. This room could turn anyone into a bit of a voyeur.
It seemed that his mate was stretching his wings and soaring out into the world of eroticism and kink. Sasuke's lips curl into a hint of a smirk. "I suppose this explains what you were doing the last two days." He wraps an arm around Itachi's neck, kissing his mate back fiercely. Yep…his mate looking gorgeous in a room full of mirrors…perfect distraction.
Itachi moans into the kiss. "Mmm…well it did require a good bit of planning." He laughs at the thought. " Chouji was rather curious about what I wanted all the mirrors for as well, but I didn't tell him."
Sasuke hums softly. "I can see why you were an engineer." He glances around once more. "With this kind of mind, you could be an architect." If the results were like this, he certainly wouldn't mind letting Itachi make a few…modifications to the inside of the estate.
"Flattery will get you everywhere." The younger vampire smiles slyly at him. Pleased at the praise. "Do continue to go on and stroke my ego or anything else that you like a bit more." He laughs softly at his innuendo and reaches for the obi of Sasuke's black silk yukata, tugging on it, and loosening the fabric so that it slides off Sasuke's shoulders and pools around him.
"Alright." Sasuke flicks open the button of Itachi's wonderfully form-fitting jeans, then drags down the zipper, enabling him to separate the pants from Itachi's hips. "You asked for it." Sasuke smirks when he notes that there was nothing underneath to prevent him from wrapping his fingers around Itachi's very obvious arousal. His mate planned well.
Itachi groans at the touch. "Yes, I did." He asked for it and was hoping to receive all that and more. He could be quite greedy when it came to Sasuke's affections.
While one of his hands works Itachi's cock, alternating the pressure of each of his fingers as he strokes along the shaft, Sasuke raises his other hand to Itachi's shirt, pushing it up inch by inch, baring the smooth skin beneath. "Someone's eager, you're already throbbing. Maybe Kakashi and I aren't the only nymphos in the family."
"Must be genetic. Along with our stubbornness and fortunate good looks." Itachi laughs as she groans and bucks into Sasuke's hands. "And while I haven't checked Indra, we do seem to be rather well endowed as a whole so far." And he hadn't checked Kakashi either, though technically Kakashi wasn't an Uchiha by blood. So it wouldn't have been fair to include him anyway.
"Mhm, that's true." Sasuke smirks as he turns them around, backing Itachi towards the bed. "And since you put so much effort into this room, it's only fitting that you experience the benefits of it first." And with a single hand, Sasuke pushes Itachi down to lie flat against the bed, cock standing straight as Sasuke crawls down his mate's body. "Would you like that?" He presses a teasing lick to the head of Itachi's cock.
He groans at the lick and nods dumbly. "Yes, I would very much like that." His voice was already dripping with undisguised lust, but who could blame him? Sasuke was already teasing him with the promise of sex. Honestly, there was no way to resist such a sinfully good invitation.
Chuckling, Sasuke descends on Itachi's cock, taking it slowly, ever so slowly into his mouth, so that Itachi could take in every second of it. At the same time, he did his best not to look at himself right now, as that could get a little too distracting. His tongue slides up and down the length as he takes a little more into his mouth, grazing his teeth along the skin.
"Fuck!" God that felt good and it was amazing to watch Sasuke suck him off from every conceivable direction. "Feels so good." He pants and runs his fingers through the other man's hair. The locks of hair that drove him crazy with their surprising softness.
Completely enveloping Itachi's cock with his mouth, Sasuke bobs his head slowly, but increases his speed incrementally as Itachi's fingers tug on his hair. He was driving his mate to madness, and he enjoyed every second of it. So much so, that he adds a small hum deep in his throat, sending vibrations back up the length of his mate's cock.
He was going to cum if Sasuke kept that up. "Sasuke!" The evil tease. How as he supposed to not explode when Sasuke was teasing him so wonderfully.
Sasuke opens his eyes, looking up towards Itachi, and smiling slightly as he gives the erection a few more harsh sucks. His red eyes glitter with lust and love, his mind focused solely on the wondrous being lying beneath him.
"Fuck!" He couldn't hold back anymore. He lost the battle for control and spilled his release into Sasuke's wonderfully wicked mouth.
Sasuke swallows down everything, licking Itachi clean as he prowls back up the lightly sun-kissed body to give his mate a kiss. "So, was it a good show?"
"A very good show." He growls in approval as he kisses him hungrily. "The mirrors were a good idea." He had such a clever Mate.
"And your execution of that idea was perfect." Sasuke laughs softly, breaking the kiss to trail hot, firm kisses down Itachi's neck, and onto his chest. "Just imagine all the things we'll be able to look at…"
He blushes hotly at that. "It does open up a world of interesting possibilities." God that felt good. Itachi leans into his touch and wraps his legs around his Mate's ass. Sasuke had a such a nice, firm ass. He should know. Itachi had had the privilege of bending it over on more than one occasion.
Sasuke smiles at the sight of his flustered mate as he leaves lovebites across every inch of skin. A dark pink blush did so suit his mate's pretty face. "I hope that you at least stocked the room." If not, well…Sasuke had a few ideas about that.
"What do you mean by stock the room?" Itachi looks up at him in confusion. Though he enjoys the feelings of the lovebites. "I did bring lubrication if that's what you're asking."
"Good, then fetch it for me." Sasuke could always just stock the room with other things later, then. Combining kinks could produce very interesting, and extremely sexy results.
Itachi whines at having to leave the warmth of his Mate's heated caresses before quickly reaching over the side of the bed and opening a drawer underneath. "Here were are. I went with raspberry this time."
Sasuke chuckles. "You really love your berries, don't you?" Though personally, he did have a thing for tomatoes. Maybe their family just really liked fruit for some reason. In any case, it certainly mixed very well with the taste-scent of Itachi's blood. Spicy milk chocolate and wild raspberry…
"Well the scent is pleasing and they are a popular flavor." Itachi blushes slightly at the observation. "Besides, you have a tomato fetish
He coats his fingers in the fragrant gel, lowering them to circle Itachi's entrance teasingly. "You're so cute when you're needy."
I'm not cute." Itachi grumbles at the accusation.
"If that's what you want to tell yourself." Sasuke dips a finger inside his mate, swirling it around as he reaches for Itachi's spot. "We both know that's a lie, though."
Itachi moans when the other vampire hits his spot. "You wish." Though his words were probably less than convincing when he was moaning at his Mate's touch, Itachi figured it was the principle of the thing.
"Don't have to." Sasuke retaliates by pressing a second finger into Itachi, stretching his mate with a smirk on his face. "You make it come true." His smirk softens a little. "You make a lot of wishes come true."
"So do you." Itachi smiles as he leans forward enough to kiss him. "Even if you're delusional enough to think that I'm cute."
Sasuke chuckles softly, kissing back as he inserts a third finger and runs his free hand back up Itachi's chest. "Then I suppose that you'll have to prove me wrong later."
He would most assuredly do so. "Alright." Itachi was planning on taking control in a big way. "If you think you can handle that, of course."
"Depends on how you handle this." Sasuke's smirk returns as he removes his fingers, replacing them with his cock in one smooth motion. After all, Itachi gave him a surprise, so why not return that favor before Itachi returned another one?
"Fuck!" Itachi moans. He hadn't expected a sneak attack. "You sneaky bastard." He supposed he should have expected it though. Sasuke was a ninja.
"Thank you." Sasuke smirks as he hits Itachi with a series of powerful thrusts right off the bat. "I do my best." After all, it was no insult to a ninja to be called sneaky.
He groans and arches back against him. "You s-succeed." This was a beautiful insanity and he loved every second of it.
Sasuke leans forward, pressing one hand to the sheets, while the other tangles itself in Itachi's hair. His lips descend on his mate's, and the cool warmth of Itachi's skin permeates Sasuke's whole being as he pounds deep inside his beloved.
Itachi kisses back hungrily as he writhes in ecstasy underneath his Mate. This was perfection. There could be nothing better than the feeling of his beloved's embrace.
Wild and fiery, for a clan whose name, ironically, was entwined with the very element itself. One that, if applied correctly, could destroy them as easily as it gave them life. Entwined, just like the two of them as Sasuke aimed with precise thrusts, to drive his mate over the edge.
"S-Sasuke!" Itachi screams in bliss as he suddenly drowns in a sea of pleasure that was his release. "Fuck! Fuck!" It was an all consuming euphoria. His image and cries alike bounced from mirror to mirror, filling the entire room.
"Itachi!" Sasuke could feel and see his mate all around him, squeezing and rolling and driving him towards that inevitable edge of pleasure as well, tumbling him right over it. "Ah!" White hot pleasure coursed through his veins as he rode out the orgasm and peppered Itachi's neck with fang-filled kisses.
It was a good thing that Itachi didn't actually need to breathe. "You're amazing." Because he had forgotten how to in that moment.
"And so are you." Sasuke licks up a few stray drops of delicious blood, before pressing a deep, heated kiss to Itachi's lips as he slides out of his mate. "Amazing and perfect and incredible…and precious…" His treasure.
"Yes, you are all those things." Itachi smiles slyly at him. "Though I do believe it is my turn." Before Sasuke could say anything, he found himself laying on his stomach and hears Itachi squeezing some of the lubrication onto his own fingers.
Well, this position was certainly familiar. Though the chains were absent this time, this…was the first position they'd made love in. So, Sasuke smiles as he lays his head down on his arms. "Tired of foreplay, I take it?"
"Well I am a fledgling." Itachi slides a finger inside Sasuke slowly. "It's only natural that I would want to skip to dessert."
"Of course." Sasuke chuckles softly, pressing back against the intrusion, well used to it by now. Itachi had a way of getting anyone used to bottoming. "That also explains why you like berry-flavored lube so much."
"Hm, I hadn't thought of it that way." There might be something that theory. "Anyway, tell me when you're ready, My Love." He adds a second finger and continues gently teasing his lover.
Sasuke presses back slightly, waiting a few moments until Itachi adds a third finger. "…Okay, I should be fine now." And maybe he was a little impatient himself. Itachi had never been a slouch, of course, but lately, he'd been getting a lot better at coaxing out the orgasms. Sasuke REALLY liked that part of all their time in bed.
"Good." Itachi slides his fingers out of Sasuke and places several soft kisses along the back of his Mate's neck before sliding into him. "You're so damn tight." He groans in bliss at the feeling of being inside the other vampire again.
Yeah, and Itachi was…damn… Sasuke could see his mate sinking into him inch by inch. That is, until Itachi's larger body obscured him almost completely from sight. "I-Itachi…" Sasuke's hands clench reflexively. "I have an idea."
"What's the idea?" He nips at the back of his neck playfully.
Sasuke's cheeks heat up for a moment, before he pushes aside his embarrassment. "You'll like it, I promise." After all, if they were in a room full of mirrors, it was best to take full advantage of them.
So, he pushes himself up, raising up Itachi in the process, before pushing the both of them backwards, landing on Itachi's lap, his knees spread out over top of Itachi's. And like he thought, it was embarrassing to be so lewdly spread open. He could see EVERYTHING from a dozen different angles. Even more so when he sat up straight, placing his hands on Itachi's knees for leverage "I've never tried it like this before, but…I though we might…well, give it a shot."
"Well this is new." Itachi chuckles as he takes advantage of the position and thrusts up inside his mate. "Though you do look rather fuckable in this position. Even more so than usual." Which was not an easy feat to manage, Itachi thinks to himself as he slams into his lover.
Sasuke jolts upwards, before slamming back down on Itachi's lap. "AH!" Well, it looked like he'd found a recipe for punishing his prostate. Itachi's next thrust bounces him back up, and, his toes barely touching the floor, he lifts himself back up, over and over as he settles into the new position and quickly bounces up and down on his mate's lap, watching as his body greedily sucks in Itachi's cock with every quickening motion.
"You're beautiful." Itachi nips his ear playfully as he continues burying himself deep inside his lover. "The mirrors suit you." It was incredible to watch the two of them become one in all the angles of the mirrors.
Sasuke would roll his eyes at the beautiful comment, but it was kind of hard to do when you had a huge cock buried in your ass, pounding you to high heaven and back. "Smart…ass…" He barely manages to resist the urge to pant as starts explode somewhere in his field of vision "AH! Itachi!" He was close, so close… "Harder!" He was riding Itachi as hard as he could, but right now…he still needed a little help.
Itachi strokes Sasuke as he thrusts up a little harder, the bed shaking beneath them. "Maybe, but you still like it." If he didn't, he wouldn't be this hard or riding Itachi's cock so wantonly. It was a heady feeling, knowing that he could drive the other vampire to madness like this.
Though he felt the urge to smack his mate for a moment, it was all wiped from his mind as Sasuke's orgasm hit him like a surprise attack from behind, and he was reduced to screaming Itachi's name as he shot his release all over Itachi's hand.
"Sasuke!" Itachi wasn't far behind his Mate. Soon joining him in the ecstasy that only being with his lover could provide him with.
Trembling slightly from the force of the orgasm, Sasuke slumps back against his mate, able to see himself in his flushed, messy-haired, untidy entirety. In a dozen mirrors, he had the appearance of someone thoroughly ravished. He looked…almost human, actually. It was a nostalgic feeling. "…Hey, Itachi…?"
"Mmm?" Itachi looks at his Mate curiously as he indulges in a little afterglow cuddling.
"Next time, we should put candles in here." Sasuke could just imagine the lights flickering in the mirrors, bathing them both in a soft glow. "Maybe some incense too." It would be surreal. They could lose themselves for hours, days even.
That sounded rather lovely. "Yes, next time we'll have to do that." He smiles at the thought as he kisses the top of Sasuke's head.
"Yeah…" Sasuke nods a little tiredly as he topples them onto the sheets, wrapping Itachi's arms around him as he slides off his mate. "…Maybe surprises aren't so bad…if you're the one making them."
"I'm glad you think so." Itachi smiles as he yawns and cuddles into his Mate. "I love you. Always and forever."
"Always and forever…" The words made Sasuke feel all…tingly inside. "My precious treasure…my heart…"
"Just as you are mine." The other vampire kisses him and caresses his face. "Now, get some sleep, My Love. God only knows what Suigetsu is planning to do for Aoda."
"Whatever it is, Karin can deal with it." Because Sasuke sure as hell wasn't going to. Not when he could spend all say cuddled up to his own personal miracle. His salvation. The best mate in the world. "I'm staying here."
Itachi chuckles at that. "Alright." The half succubus could take care of it and they could just cuddle more. that sounded good to him.
Well Sassy had given him permission to find a playmate for Aoda. So that's exactly what Suigetsu was going to do. "She has to be amphibious." That way she could live in water or on land. The river that ran through the estate would be perfect for a smaller breed of dragon.
That was one question down as he went to the Sea of Japan to find a dragon and assumes his natural form. Sea Dragons hung out with mermen and mermaids all the time. So this should in theory be easy. There was just one problem. He was going to be asking a dragon to leave it's safe territory for a new one. One that it didn't necessarily know was safe. That was going to be a tough sell.
"Maybe, a younger dragon." One who had just struck out on its own and come into maturity might be best. It'd save them from having to stake out a territory.
Unknown to humans, the oceans were full of dragons. They thought that creatures like the Loch Ness Monster or the Ogopogo were freak accidents, monsters, rarities in their world. They couldn't be more wrong.
Down in the ocean, and especially in places like the Sea of Japan, you could find moulted dragon scales everywhere. …If you knew what you were looking for in the first place. Most commonly, they could be found around reefs, ravines, or underwater caves, where the dragons liked to set up their nests.
He decides to check a cave. That was probably were a young dragon would likely set up shop so to speak. They'd like the protection it could offer them.
Below the reefs, the caves could be found, some completely underwater, others connected to air pocket and underwater cliffs. And it was around one such cave, that several dull gray scales could be seen, already beginning to decompose.
"Well, I can see scales." They were probably a few days old. "So I'm probably close to a dragon." Suigetsu decides as he continues swimming around in search of a lady dragon.
As the merman swims his way inside the cave, a long aquamarine tail dips into the water, its fins cutting through the translucent green-hued liquid like a hot knife through butter. The webbed fins create small whirlpools within the water, batting them back and forth like a seal playing with a ball.
Perfect! "Hello." Suigetsu beams at the dragon. "My name is Suigetsu." He wasn't really sure what counted as attractive by dragon standards, but she seemed to be a looker to him and she was obviously playful. Aoda would like that.
The dragon gazes into the water, tilting her head at the merman who had chased her tail in. The webbed horns on her head flicked water droplets everywhere as she did so. "I am Kara." She shifts onto her front legs, from which similarly webbed wings protruded. "What are you doing here?" Every part of her was a hue of shimmering blue, some lighter, some darker, some paler, some greener. But every scale was new and sparkling.
"Well actually, I was hoping to talk to you." Good. She seemed friendly. "How would you like a new territory?" Probably on the younger side, judging by how shiny those scales were too.
Her tail flicks out of the water, waving around behind her as she stares at him. "A new territory?" This was the territory she'd shared with her clutch-mates, and one by one, they were leaving the nest without her. "What new territory?"
"Well it would be on land, but there is a river that winds through it." Suigetsu smiles at her. He had to pitch this just right. "It has fish in it and some animals come to drink there. Plus there are gardens and a forest surrounding it." The implication of more food hung heavily in the air. "It's pretty secluded. I live there, so do a couple vampires, my half succubus mate, a half giant, and..." This was the most important part. "Another dragon, but don't worry. He's very friendly. He hasn't seen another of his kind before, so I'm sure that Aoda would be thrilled to meet you."
A land territory? She had never been on land before. These caves were the closest she'd come, apart from glimpsing it from a safe distance. Humans…were not friendly to her kind. "There is another dragon there?" That was the most puzzling part. "How has he survived on land? Are there no humans there?"
"Well like I said, it's pretty secluded. Private property." Did she understand that concept? "Meaning that no humans can enter it without permission. So yeah. You wouldn't have to worry about them. " He nods reassuringly. "And yeah, there's another dragon."
No humans could enter without permission. Private property…she'd never heard that before. "I would…share this territory with you, these others, and another dragon?" Well, it's not like she'd never shared with her clutch-mates before. "Is it large?"
Suigetsu nods at that. "It's about three and a half miles in every direction and seven across total." He smiles at her. "The river, the actual estate, the gardens, and the forest are all owned by a vampire named Sasuke Uchiha. So he determines who gets to come and go. No humans to worry about or if he lets any in, we'd make sure they didn't see you. It's so big that wouldn't be a problem."
A territory on land, owned but protected by another, where she could choose to be either on solid ground or in the water, with plentiful food sources, and then, the promise of another dragon, a male… That was quite the offer. And the merman was offering it seemingly for free. "Is there anything you would want in return?"
"Well...other than playing nicely with the other dragon, not really." He shakes his head. "Believe me, the estate is big enough that if you don't want nothing to do with anyone with two legs, you can avoid them easily enough by darting into the forest or staying under the water." He pauses and adds. "I haven't told Aoda about this. You're kinda a surprise, if you say yes."
"Aoda…" That must be the other dragon. "I am…a surprise…?" That was strange. Though…it was true that she did feel rather lonely all by herself in this cave. "Will the two-legs try to hunt me?"
"No two legs are going to try to hunt you." Suigetsu shakes his head. "Sasuke has the estate spelled, so they wouldn't be able to even find you on satellite. So unless he lets a human into the estate, there's no way for them to find you and even then, the odds are extremely low. Since you can always slink off. We would warn you about any upcoming visitors." The merman smiles at him. "And yeah, you'd be a surprise. the best surprise possible."
"Oh. Well…" Dragons did rather enjoy being flattered, and she was no exception. And she supposed…if it was a place where she would be safe, have food, and maybe even another dragon to play with, that would be rather…nice. "How would I get to this new territory?"
"I would take you there." Suigetsu shows her a rather large collar suited for her. "You would wear this just long enough for us to get there. A witch spelled it. It will make you invisible. So I can just ride on your back and give you directions."
He wished to fly there? Kara could fly, certainly, she just did not do it often. And certainly not with a merman on her back. "The humans will not be able to see me, then?" That was a rather important detail to be sure of. "Would you be comfortable leaving the water?"
"Oh yes, I can form legs when I want to for short periods of time anyway." Suigetsu nods at her reassuringly. "They wouldn't be able to see you. This spell is fool proof. Here, I'll prove it to you." He places the collar around his waist and disappears. "See? Well I guess you don't see now, but you know what I mean." With that being said, he takes it off and reforms.
What a strange little merman, to be inviting her onto land to take a new territory, and live with vampires, giants, and demons, as well as another dragon. It was perplexing, but also, a very attractive offer. "I…will go with you, Suigetsu." So, she lowers her head into the water, the rest of her body slipping in after it.
"Great!" He smiles and pets her as they take off. "Alright so we're heading to this old place that used to be called Iga. That's about from here to the mainland, and half as much again."
"Iga?" She'd never heard of such a place. But then, she did not know the names of the places where humans dwelt. "I see. Then we can return you to your home before the sun sets." Such a long journey would take the rest of the day, if she flew, perhaps less if she flew very quickly.
"Yup!" He smiles. "That's the place. Aoda is going to be over the Moon when he sees you." Suigetsu wasn't exactly sure how matchmaking worked for dragons, but considering Aoda had never seen another dragon...let alone a female, he was pretty confident that the male dragon would definitely be digging Kara.
