Chapter 17
"Did you know that Malfoy is your submissive?" Lelita asked into the night. Harry opened his eyes. "Draco is not…" "Not Draco, the other one. The one you saved." The shadow demon corrected. "What do you mean?" "You don't feel it? His very magic belongs to you. You can feel it even through his son." "I do not want a submissive." Lelita laughed. "You think wrong of this. He is not your tool for pleasure, no. But he is yours; to protect. Your relationship with him has nothing to do with sexuality. You don't need to satisfy him neither does he need to satisfy you. It's like having a child, or younger brother." Harry thought about it, the stars on his ceiling casting a glow on his face. "And Draco?" "Just a child in your eyes." Was the answer. "I'm not sure I want a child." "It matters not, you have them. You will never have the ability to love a mate, it is the will of Lady Magic."
Harry sighed and closed his eyes again. "Sometimes I think Magic is against me." Lelita giggled. "Magic is against no one my Lord, you just need to see the good in it." "Since when are you for good?" "Only if it benefits you Harry. Everything else can fuck itself." The raven chuckled. That's the Lelita he knew. He sighed again as his thoughts consumed him once more. Lelita let him be. He wouldn't be sleeping for the rest of the night, she knew. She thought about his plans for the day. The school term ended two weeks ago and now they were in LeFay Manor. Harry was expecting the Akatsuki the following morning. Sometimes Lelita wondered why her Lord depended on so many to execute his tasks. Why he went to that wretched school where he had to relinquish a large portion of his sovereignty. For what? Subtlety and careful planning. Shit in her opinion. Even so, she was old she must admit. She knows the system of a millennia past, not the relatively modern way of life. She still thinks it was better then though.
The sun rose from the horizon and Harry was already up and about. He was pouring over some notes when an elf arrived into the study room. "Master Fae, sir. Yours guests have arrived." "Thank you Selly." The elf left quickly. Harry put the parchment in their respective places before making his way to the receiving foyer. Once he got there he smirked pleasurably. The Akatsuki were there, all thirteen of them lined up and awaiting his entrance. They each bowed their heads briefly, acknowledging his authority but not groveling at his feet.
"Gentlemen. Follow me." They followed him to a large room with a long table where they proceed to arrange themselves. "Anything new?" "The vampires are under your command, un. They were quick to pledge their loyalty after you made an example of those that dared to disrespect you." Deidara responded, flicking his long blonde hair over his shoulder. "They were never forced?" "We made it clear to them that they can do as they please, but not get in your way." Sasori informed. Hidan laughed uproarosly, "They sure were pissing themselves after after what Itachi did!" Kakuzu gave him an annoyed look, which the silver-haired wizard ignored out of pure habit.
Harry looked at Nagato. "I managed to mobilize the Wizengamot. The Tri-Wizards Tournament is underway. My sources have also tracked down the snake." "And by sources you mean Orochimaru." Naruto mumbled to himself. The man with orange hair glared briefly at the brat. "He's a source isn't he?" All this while Orochimaru was buried in a book that detailed a variety of experiments conducted by the muggles over the centuries. Ever since Harry 'gifted' it to him it wasn't ever really far away from his grasp. Suffice to say, he was content to ignore everything around him. Until he was called on, that is. "Orochimaru-kun, any progress with that book?" He lowered it enough to see Harry. With a flat look he said. "Of course. Neutralization processes work quite well with healing potions as the acid acid magnifies the properties of the herbs before the delayed base can neutralize it. When used on its own however, a base makes most poisons that much more lethal. Mecury…now mecury is the greatest finding." The snake-like man adopted a dreamy face. "When used with a freezing charm it can place an organism into total stasis. Optimal condition for some of my…research." He licked his lips in pleasure.
A collective shiver ran down some of their spines. "I think I'm gonna be sick." Obito uttered, his face a bit green. Harry almost smiled. "That was very…interesting Orochimaru-kun. Anything else of interest?" Orochimaru already had his face back in his book so Itachi responded. "The shipments have been transported all over Europe as well as America. Weapons along with potions. Our coffers have increased exponentially due to our market out there. But we need more men to market them." "We propose to use the vampires now that we have their loyalty. They are quick, and know how to keep their mouths shut." Kakuzu added. "I agree." Harry said with a nod. "Is that all?" No one objected so he moved on. "You are doing a good job. We are much closer to our goals. All that is left is the elimination of one bastard. Now, I want information on the Veela. Sasori, I'm sure you can handle it. Yahiko, Obito, Kisame and Hidan, locate all the death eaters you can manage. I don't care what their rank is. I want a complete file before the end of second term at Hogwarts this year. Got it?" The mentioned men nodded.
"Harry, are we really going to Hogwats?" Naruto asked excitedly. Sasuke perked up from his bored position beside Itachi. Harry nodded. "Yes. I need you to do something for me there." Naruto could barely contain his happiness. Sasuke was more dignified in his excitement. "Yes! Finally something to do." "Just don't ruin anything, baka." Deidara snickered when a glare was shot his way. Harry smirked. "Have a little faith Deidara. Naruto is a valuable resource. Not to mention he saved your life a handful of times." Naruto grinned, puffing out his chest in pride. Deidara huffed. "Doesn't make him any smarter, un." The younger blonde stuck his tongue out at him. "You're free to go." Harry dismissed them. Some left to complete their new tasks, some to complete ongoing ones and some remained.
Naruto and Sasuke followed Harry to his chambers as Orochimaru and Kabuto went down into the dungeons. "Hey um, it's been a while since we've seen you." Naruto started nervously. Harry raised an eyebrow at them. "Your point?" To his interest, Sasuke blushed a bit. Naruto rubbed the back of his neck and mumbled something. "Sorry, I didn't get that." "We, uh. We missed you." "Did you know?" "Don't make things difficult." Sasuke said with a withering look. Harry cocked his head to the side. "Incompliance has nothing to do with it. You want something else." "What are you talking about." They inquired in sync. Harry turned to walk to his bed. "My blood isn't the only thing you crave. Itachi too. Though for the life of me I can't figure out what." Naruto frowned. "We don't want anything." Sasuke seemed to agree, equally confused. "Yes you do, you just don't realize it yet. The number of times you feed from me has increased from once every two months to as often as thrice that. Each. I'm sure you've noticed." They both stayed silent. "I want to know. When you have figured it out inform me. Now come here."
Thinking about what Harry said they both hesitated, but their hunger won out. They settled themselves on both sides of Harry. Harry relaxed himself for what was about to happen, the routine long familiar to him by now with three vampires depending on him. Naruto nuzzled the left side of his neck while Sasuke did the same to his right. The Uchiha licked his jugular and Harry barely suppressed a shiver. He gasped silently when they both sank sharp fangs into his neck, their suckling sending a sharp tingle of pain down his spine for only a few moments before it cleared out. The rest of the feeding was painless, but Harry could feel the tenseness he had accumulated over the weeks leave his muscles. The older boys were moaning in pleasure as they sucked greedily, feeling both Harry's blood and magic washing over them. As usual, Harry's magic kept the boy from being robbed of too much of his life force, replenishing it as the minutes passed. But even it had limits.
Harry's magic stopped the flow of blood into their mouths. Sasuke growled but let go as Naruto whined pitifully. "That's enough." Harry laid them down on the mattress side by side. They looked up at him dazedly, lips still stained with his blood. Harry smiled just the tiniest bit. Following his instincts, he leaned down to lick the blood off both their lips. "Sleep." He ordered and left. The two fourteen year olds complied, too sated to do anything else. Once in his study once more, Harry went back to his reports, ignoring the shadows whispering in his ear. Whispering of things he wasn't ready to hear. Of love and family.
A/N: Some readers are probably confused right now. Don't worry, the history of the Akatsuki will be leaked soon enough. Yes, Sasuke, Naruto and Itachi are vampires and Harry their blood donor. No, they are not in a harem. Though I would have loved it, it's not happening. As for this submissive thing, I have no idea what I was thinking but it is already out. Now I have to make an excuse. There will be no love relationships. All I can say is that Magic gave Harry all these abilities and power but everything has a price. He can never have a lover. But Magic has decided to compensate for that and give him 'children'. I have always fancied the idea of Harry taking care of Draco, Naruto and Sasuke and it leaked I guess. Sorry if anyone is disappointed or offended. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
