Title: Kremlin Dusk
Author: sky75rk
A/N:
Okay, this might be a little OOC, but it is a new Naruto and a new Sasuke, which is why this is an AU… and I know that I should be working on Incarcerated Soul… but you don't have to worry… it's all under control…And yes, this is titled to one of the songs of Utada Hikaru in her Exodus CD. This story will be based on the lyrics of Kremlin Dusk and Hotel Lobby.
Why would Sasuke first think that Naruto was a whore?
Let's just say that it was the first thing that Sasuke thought of. And besides, it's not a statement… it's a question. Of course there would be many things he would think about. But his brain was drained, mind you, so he couldn't think straight. But why? Why don't you just read the next few chapters okay?
And besides, if that's not the conclusion you would come up with, of course it wouldn't be… you're not Sasuke anyway right?
Another, about the swimming pool and the floor, swimming pools isn't always located in the ground floor. There are a few hotels that their pools are located either in the fourth or fifth floor. Let's assume that his room was located overlooking the pool on the fifth floor. Gosh… you guys trouble yourself so much with trivial things… /sigh/ but I'm sorry if the channel is not that clear… I'll try to do better next time…
Last thing, I really, really like cars… especially sports car… whatever gave you the idea that I did?
ADC, minna…
Second Channel: Extra Money, Extra Money
One groggy, dark eye opened and was blinded by the table light which was still turned on all through the night. Sasuke stretched his arms and back as it came to his mind that he slept on the table that night. He rubbed his eyes and stood up, directly heading to the bathroom for his morning ritual.
Sakura arrived an hour later with the dark-haired boy almost ready to leave. The pink-haired girl saw the books on the table and helped Sasuke pack them up, putting each and every one of them carefully back in the bag. She spoke up, "So, have you prepared for the classes?"
Sasuke shrugged. "It's going fine," he answered her question nonchalantly. Sakura smiled and decided not to push the subject any further since it might just annoy her friend. She just knew him too well.
They checked-out and drove towards the dormitory. It was a ten-year old building, an old fashioned model using red orange bricks. Some of the bricks were covered in moss and other vines and in front of it was a beautiful landscape. But Sasuke, being who he is, just ignored it and went straight inside. "Sakura, let's go," he called to her, disrupting her from her reverie.
She pouted and followed him inside. Sometimes she wished that Sasuke would lighten up instead of doing everything so seriously all the time. Well, that was hard to do, especially for a goal-oriented guy.
As they arranged his things, a knock came on the door. After a moment, the knob turned and a wild-haired guy with weird, red, face markings emerged. "Hey, so you're that new guy huh?"
"…"
"Not very talkative are you?" he grinned, and Sasuke was reminded of someone he couldn't understand. "Anyway, I'm Inuzuka Kiba, one of the people you'll be sharing the turf with. Why don't you come out for a moment so I'll introduce you to everybody else?" he offered, but Sasuke returned working to his things instead of getting the offer.
In a monotone voice, he replied. "Uchiha Sasuke, that's my name," after all, he was taught to give out his name in return if someone introduced himself to him. But he was not taught to mingle if he didn't want to. Pride of an Uchiha. "But I don't need to know all the people here,"
Kiba cocked his head then agreed. "Alright, whatever man," and then he left them.
Sakura glanced at Sasuke and frowned. He shouldn't be like that, she thought. She transferred her gaze to her wrist watch and tapped Sasuke on his shoulder. "Hey, I need to go. I've got to do something," she told him and Sasuke nodded, watching her wave at him before she disappeared behind the door.
Pale hands saw his book bag and remembered that he was supposed to do something that his brother instructed him to do. He opened his bag and saw that the folder was still in it, research materials that his brother's former teacher, Orochimaru, asked him to give.
Looking at his watch, he reckoned that he should go give it to the teacher now so he wouldn't have any distractions for later.
Walking out the door, he got a glimpse of Kiba and two other guys. He eyed them silently, and then went down the stairs and out the dormitory.
Slowly, he walked down the path he would need to get familiar with before he got lost. Not that he really cared; he also prided himself with having a good sense of direction. Besides, he always has the map of the campus in his bag to guide him wherever he deemed to go.
It was only after a twenty minute walk that he arrived at the library and was told that it was where some offices of the teachers were located. He tried to find a room that said 'Orochimaru'. There it is. In bold, print letters both in Japanese and an English version underneath was nailed on a wooden, mahogany door. He knocked and was received by a woman in her middle ages.
"Konnichiwa, I'm looking for Orochimaru-sensei," he told her politely and she led him to the professor's office.
The woman entered the room and was probably telling the man about his arrival, and then the woman invited him in. he entered a room filled with books of different kinds and the man he was looking for smiled at him. "Ah, you must be Uchiha Sasuke, Itachi-s younger brother,"
"Aa," he answered curtly. "My brother told me that you were one great teacher, Orochimaru-sensei,"
A deep throated laugh. "Nonsense! Itachi has always been a very good student so I had no trouble teaching him. I assume you're also a genius then?" he queried, eyeing him that made Sasuke uncomfortable. "Your family has a really impressive heritage of geniuses,"
Sasuke did not answer.
All of a sudden, a knock sounded through the door and it opened. "I'm here, sensei," a cheerful voice said. Sasuke turned around and saw the same blonde hair and blue eyes he'd seen the night before. That's him. What is he doing here? The blonde also noticed and recalled him and he grinned at him. It made him more puzzled than ever.
"Okay," Orochimaru said. "I'm sorry, Sasuke-kun. I'm afraid we have to continue this little chat later on," Sasuke nodded insensitively and showed himself out the door.
He closed the door behind him and a soft click made him think of the research papers his brother sent him to give. Abruptly, he opened the door again. "Ano…"
Dark eyes widened and his pale, lean body froze. In front of him was the professor, whose clothes were now on the floor, and two tanned hands were touching his chest. It was not the scene he was ready to see yet.
Orochimaru glared at him. "I thought I told you to leave, Uchiha-san?" his voice were cold and angry, but it did not faze Sasuke.
"I just want to give you this," he told him, placing the thick folder on the side table. He cast a look on the blonde and the blonde winked at him again. He closed the door softly behind him with only one confirmation in his mind. So he is a whore.
Sasuke was sitting down on the carpeted library floor, his book opened on his lap. The door to Orochimaru's office unlocked and a certain blue eyed guy started walking straight past him. Lean legs stretched on the floor and caught two tanned legs. The blonde got caught in it but was able to stop himself from falling. Blue eyes glowered at black ones and Sasuke just smirked and returned his attention to his book. When the blonde turned in the corner, he stood up and followed him.
He saw the blonde running across the newly mowed lawn of the field and he followed, running fast behind him but keeping quiet, so he would not be sensed. He studied the blonde who was smiling and waving at various people. It made him think otherwise. It appeared that he was just a little too friendly. But if he hadn't seen him the night before and that moment in the room, he would just settle to think that the guy last night was his boyfriend and he was just gay. But not with what he already witnessed.
They were roughly running for more than ten minutes and found out that the guy he was trailing had amazing speed and he was leading both of them into the city. Sasuke stopped as he saw the blonde slow down, straightening his clothes and entering a bar. He shortly followed.
Inside, the whole establishment was filled with smoke and some students having fun. The room was packed and he had trouble waving in and out through it. Sasuke used his height and peered over the heads of several people shorter than him and saw a streak of blonde hair. It was heading for the bathroom.
He made his way where the blonde was, very intrigued and was wondering why he was putting himself in so much trouble. He leaned on the wall very near the comfort room, across him was the ladies room. From the corner of his eye, he observed the blonde, now with an attractive woman, older than them by a couple of years, he guessed 25. The woman gave the blonde a peck on the cheek and smiled seductively at him while the blonde did the same.
"So I guess that's enough then?" the woman asked.
Low, husky voice replied back. "It's more than enough. You've always been a great customer,"
If this was the first time he'd seen the guy, he'd have prevented himself form choking, but now he knew. He gripped his books tighter as the said woman rushed out the vicinity and the blonde guy was walking in his direction. Sasuke held out his feet again. And again, tanned legs got caught and almost fell. It was good there was a shelf where he could hang on to.
Blue eyes faced his again. "Watch whe… it's you again," his voice said accusingly. "Are you following me?"
Sasuke evaded the question. "Are you really willing to do anything for money? Don't you have any pride?" monotone replied to irate ones.
The blonde gave him a fierce look. "I don't think that's any of your damn business," blue eyes removed its gaze from Sasuke's and started walking away.
Suddenly, a pale hand moved and squeezed a cloth covered buttock of the blonde. The guy gasped and was about to hit him with his fist when Sasuke held in between their faces a piece of folded money. "You said you'd do anything for money, right?"
Blue eyes that were showing anger before softened and smiled. Sasuke couldn't believe it. A tanned hand immediately took the money and stuffed it in his pocket. Sasuke squeezed harder, wanting to taunt the blonde but he just smiled. It was a failed plan, so Sasuke let go.
The tanned body faced his pale ones. He was not that short so he could see his features well. Blue eyes were twinkling with mirth and mischievousness. He leaned against him, his warm body almost covering his. Sasuke tried to lean back, but the wall was preventing him. He was trapped.
Soft lips hovered over his ears and began to whisper. "If you give me two thousand yen more, then I'll give you a kiss," Sasuke sucked his breath in and stiffened. Rapidly, the blonde stepped back and smiled at him, happy with his response. "Ja ne!" he waved and walked swiftly away.
Shit. What was… what was that?
