Possession

Disclaimer: I own none of Naruto characters. They rightly belong to Masashi Kishimoto-sensei. But I do own some of the characters that I made up to be members of Akatsuki.

Warning: Yaoi. Incest. Violence. Bondage. Semi-rape. Crossdressing. Some OCs. If you find any of the said materials disturbing, I suggest you leave this page immediately. You've been warned, so don't flame me about that.

Pairing: Itachi/Sasuke and Sasuke/Naruto

Note: I'm back! Miss me? Well, first I have to apologize for the extremely late updating. I know I'm working slow but the evil writer's block was nagging me constantly, so I wait until the first part of Naruto manga ends to look for something I can write from though this fic bases oh-so-loosely on it.

Well, just to let you know. This fic has been written before the fact about the Mangekyo Sharingan came out and the arc ended, so basically I'm making some excuses for Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan in this story and another thing is that in this fic he didn't go to Orochimaru. Naruto was able to bring him back, ok?

Chapter VII: Storm

Trapped. Ensnared. Like a small butterfly stuck in the delicately spun silvery web of the great spider. There was no escape once flying right into the deadly web. Only the tormenting wait of being eaten. Naruko couldn't help feeling like that following the chestnut haired woman up the seemingly endless stairs and along the winding hallway that looked like a labyrinth. Walking and walking, hearing nothing but her own footsteps. The more she walked and walked, the less the hope of finding her best friend she had left.

Where was that confident she had when she first came here? When did that smile fade from her lips? Being out there was one thing but being in here...no matter how gorgeous this place was...it had this heavy air of darkness hanging around that it was suffocating to breathe. Just like those times she had opened the door into herself to speak with Kyuubi. Too much alike. Her skin crawled and a chill ran down her spine as she passed a room with strange golden symbols engraved on the door. There, within her, Kyuubi howled and raged at the cage that imprisoned it.

Naruko's body trembled. It was obvious what was sealed behind that closed door. Some kind of demon that the Akatsuki had captured. From the other side of the door, that demon was struggling, growling fiercely and hatefully. The sound was frightening yet what worried Naruko more was her own demon. It too reacted to the seal on the door as it was howling as if in pain. And even though she tried to suppress it, that red chakra was now leaking out. Soon it would fail her disguise and also her plan. Damn. Damn. Damn. She cursed, trying to get as far away as she could from that room.

Yet it seemed as if her feet were rooted. She couldn't move. She couldn't get away from there. Damn. Damn. Damn. She felt her soft, delicate hands began to get rough and the seal was starting to be visible around her navel. Her skin was getting tanned. She was becoming Naruto! She had to get away from this room! And fast!

Shiki turned as the other's footstep ceased. "Ma'am?" She looked at the young woman behind her and saw that the blonde had sunk to her knees gasping. What's this feeling? She tensed at the feeling of a dark powerful chakra. It's like...

Her violet eyes widened and she let out a low, breathless "Kyuubi."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shiryuu's gaze swept across the bright hall swiftly before resting on a certain shark-like man, who was leaning against the wall, drinking some cocktail, grinning. It was always an odd sight when it came to the shark-like man wearing a tux but no one ever dared to laugh. Although his Samehada wasn't present at the moment, those sharp teeth he showed didn't make him look less intimidating. His violet eyes narrowed suspiciously. "You look strangely in a good-mood tonight, Kisame. What're you up to?"

At that question Kisame laughed. "Oh, nothing." He took a sip from his glass, which seemed too small compared to the size of his palm. "I think it's because you're the one feeling troubled, are you not? Like...feeling so lonely that someone is amiss?" As he said this, his yellowish eyes gleamed in amusement. "Don't worry. Your sister won't be gone that long." And he laughed again, much to the other's distaste.

"What're you trying to say, shark?" Shiryuu asked in a low voice. "Besides, I should be asking you that."

"That?" Kisame cocked his head, still grinning. How he loved to mess with this man's mind. To test how high his temper could soar. It was fun to taunt and it was amusing to look.

"That your partner seems to disobey the order again." The chestnut haired-man said, trying to control his temper. Stupid shark. Stupid question. "Uchiha or not, he is not allowed to do anything prior permission."

"But he does have the right to spend some quality time with his little brother." Kisame snickered and taking one last sip, he put the now empty glass down.

Shiryuu was about to retort when Kisame suddenly turned and made his way toward the door that led toward the stairs. "Where're you going?"

"To get my Samehada." Kisame said, looking past Shiryuu toward one Windsor window. Out there, lightning flashed, illuminating silhouettes of trees and their branches waving wildly in the rainstorm as if they were out-stretched claws of the burning-red-eyed bane, whispering his sardonically sweet call. "They're here."

As soon as Kisame disappeared behind the great wooden door, the said window exploded.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

People's screams were heard coming from the first floor and smoke and ashes were seen clouding the target area, ringing the ear-splitting alarm. In the great hall, it was pure chaos. Some of the guests were in great fear and some in shock. The cold rain blew in through the large gap that replaced the two Windsor windows and some chunks of the wall were missing. The explosion was so powerful that the entire building shook. Behind the sealed door, the restrained demon banged and banged violently. Naruko hissed as she tried to hold Kyuubi back from its rampage. The fox demon's pain was passing onto her like an electric shot.

The twin sister of Shiryuu was looking at her, she knew. Those violet eyes were unreadable. Naruko balled her fists, feeling her nails turning into claws as blood began seeping through her yielding flesh. She felt like vomiting at the moment. Damnit! Kyuubi, stop!

Footstep. The Akatsuki woman was approaching her.

"I'm sorry, ma'am but tonight the party ends here." The chestnut haired-woman told Naruko. "If you don't want to be caught in between the fire, go find some place to hide now." She helped the trembling girl up, leading her away from that door. And without giving Naruko a second glance, she opened a window and jumped out of it.

Naruko stared at where the chestnut haired-woman was for a while before letting out a deep sigh of relief. Neji, I don't know what you're thinking but this time I think I owe you. She looked at her palms and saw that the wound had already healed. Because of Kyuubi's power. Yet she had never appreciated having a demon within her, especially this time that it had almost ruined her plan but she thought she understood it. To be trapped like that, losing your freedom...

Naruko turned back to look at the long, long hallway.

Sasuke, where're you?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Captain, I have done what you have told me." said a masked ANBU grimly to his captain. "But I still don't think this is a very good idea."

"...I know but better risk than fail." The Hyuuga genius said, his pearly-white eyes speaking of some knowledge the others didn't know. "Imbecile and suicidal action may lead to a greater opportunity sometimes." As a certain someone has proven it. He mentally added. If he didn't do this, he didn't know how much longer it would take for that certain someone to find a proper chance to look for Sasuke. It wasn't an easy task as the blond thought it would, he had warned him. And it seemed this time it turned out Neji was the one who was right.

Naruto sure owed him a lot.

The ANBU was confused at his captain's words but nodded anyway. "I'll remember that, captain."

"Return to your position and do not move until you got a signal from me."

"Yes, captain." As soon as the lesser ANBU left, a certain chestnut haired-woman dropped down from the tree to the soften ground facing the young Hyuuga. "Good evening, Konoha shinobi." she said. "Where's the Kyuubi, may I ask?"

"You've already known I wouldn't answer." Neji replied calmly even as thousands of needles flew his way.

Pink. Pink. Pink.

Kaiten. All the needles were deflected.

Shiki barely had time to react as Neji appeared in front of her and punched her in the stomach, promptly adding a light touch on her upper arm. She fell from the blow but quickly recovered, blowing poison gas from her mouth to stop the other's movement. Yet the Hyuuga was fast enough to get away from that gas. He appeared again behind her, this time using his katana, meaning to take her head off in one swift blow. The Akatsuki ducked just in time before her head fell, the katana missing by just a few strands of her hair but found with Neji's knee on the mid of her back.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Boy, that was an old trick." came the voice behind Neji and he found that the woman had escaped his last attack by using the kawarimi no jutsu. "That was also an old trick." He countered, still not losing his calmness.

"You're quite good." Shiki said, inspecting her upper arm with interest. The boy had merely touched her. No great strength applied than the punch she first received but it seemed her upper arm had gotten more damage than her stomach. And no, it wasn't that attack the medicinal ninja use. It was something else. "May I know your name?"

"...Hyuuga Neji."

Shiki's lips curved up into an ill smile. "Oh, the Hyuugas. I see..." She took out some operating knives and charged toward him. "If I can kill you, then I'll have an interesting example for my study."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruko panted slightly as she ran down the hallway. She didn't care anymore that her clothes was wet now that she had the opportunity to search the mansion. She opened every door that she happened to pass.

Not this one.

She panted and rushed for the next.

Not this one either.

Naruko huffed and made for the next. She was about to turn the doorknob when suddenly the other one behind her clicked open. She quickly spun around and...

The Kyuubi vessel froze when she met with two piercing orbs with the color of sunset

TBC

Finally the new chapter! It felt like eternity updating this fic. You know what, I suck at writing action scences and I'm one lazy writer but I think I'll be able to update the next chapter quite fast now that I've gotten over this part. Really, really, this chapter took me very very very long! And it wasn't that great of a chapter. (No Itachi and Sasuke, too.) T.T Sorry.

Leave me a review, pretty please.

Give me something to work for. :3
