Chapter 09: Nightmares part I

"You are coming with me Kakashi." Naruto said coldly and Kakashi shrugged before closing the novel and climbing inside the car. Kakashi was sitting in front with Hana driving the car and Naruto was in back with Kids. They stopped in the market and shopped around. Naruto tried to loosen himself with his kids. Laughing and playing with them freely. It was almost two p.m. when he got the text from Kurama. They got into the car again . Kakashi was quiet but he was attentive to their surroundings all the time. Naruto just clenched his jaw. Having Kakashi there with him was keeping him on edge too. But he didn't let it show on his face. He sent Sakura a quick text telling her to meet for coffee and sent her the address of the penthouse where he would be staying with kids. He got a quick reply telling him that she would be there in an hour. Naruto let his head fall on the back of the seat while Boruto and Inojin snuggled in his arms.

For the rest of the ride all three adults were dead quiet. Naruto was staring out side with a deep scowl marring his elegant features and his eyes hardened looking like sapphire, beautiful yet stony. Kakashi gave a lazy side glance to the mirror and looked at Naruto's expression. Kakashi suppressed his amused chuckle. Naruto wasn't even trying to hide how he felt about his presence. Kakashi felt a gaze pointed at him only to see on his side to see Hana driving silently, almost like a robot. Kakashi was more than sure that it was indeed Hana eying him. Kakashi's lips twitched into a small smirk and he resumed reading his book.

Hana parked the car in the parking of the apartment building and Naruto straightened his back. His body posture was alert and his eyes were sharp like a hawk. Kakashi who was previously lazing around got into more alert stance, Even if he was still working for Danzo didn't mean he wasn't going to protect Naruto and kids. Hana gracefully got out of the car with Kakashi following her action.. Both of them quickly got into protective stances while Naruto got out holding both of his sleeping sons.

"Boss." Three of them whipped their heads to the source of voice and saw Sai waving his hand with a huge smile on his face, a grimacing Kurama and...Neiji? Naruto's face stayed impassive but the warning in his cold eyes was successfully delivered to Kurama, whose face paled a bit. He internally groaned about the explanation he had to give Naruto afterwards.

After seeing them Neiji ,Kurama and Sai quickly made there way closer to them. Hana took Boruto from Naruto's arms while Sai eyed her gleefully, No one seemed to noticed except... one person. Naruto eyed the shift of expression on Sai's face from the corner of his eyes but didn't comment on it.

Neiji's posture remained casual but the moment Sai and Kurama looked at Kakashi, their faces hardened and their posture tensed.

"Hey there." Neiji smirked with his usual arrogant manner but there was a softness in his eyes and stretched his hand. Naruto nodded and shook Neiji hand firmly with an impassive face, his sky blue eyes looked sharp and alert and the muscled in his body were screaming power. After a short handshake they dropped their hands. It wasn't safe to stay out side for longer than needed even with snipper watching every move. Naruto was the one who was leading with Neiji on his side ,with Hana right behind him, Kurama and Sai on Hana's sides and Kakashi hot on his heels. While walking side by side no one noticed the small wistful smile Neiji casted at Naruto and then looked ahead. Naruto wasn't his to leer at, he knew it and understood it.

All six of them entered inside the lift which would take them to 37th floor, the lift was only used by Naruto or the people he had given the access. The lift never stopped on any floor going straight to it's destination. While in the lift there was a too cold and hostile feeling lingered in the atmosphere. Neiji looked content with a small smirk on his lips but Hana, Sai and Kurama looked incredibly tensed with Kakashi's presence while the man in question was lazily leaning against the elevator wall and reading a book. Naruto was standing straight with stony expression and softly stroking Inojin's hairs, it was an unusual contrast to the iciness on his face. Tension was so much in the air that it was becoming suffocating but no one commented on it.

When the lift stopped it was like everyone took a breath of relief. Naruto got out first with Hana and Sai hot on his heels. Neiji was still lingering there when Kurama turned to face Kakashi. Neiji who was getting out stopped too and stared at both of them with icy blue eyes.

"I don't know why you are here Hatake san but keep this in mind. If you dared to do any thing to Boss or young masters.. you will be dead even before you know what hit you." Kurama voice was low and threatening but Kakashi relied with a small lazy smirk.

"So little fox barring it's fangs to me?" Kakashi straightened his back and stared into Kurama's eyes. "Don't get your pantied in a knot. I'm here to serve him too." Kakashi said lightly petting Kurama's shoulder and left. Kurama glared at Kakashi back coldly.'That guy was so dead if he even dared to lift a finger at his master.'

"Hey relax. He is just an old man Kurama. Why are you behaving like that?" Neiji's voice snapped Kurama out of his thoughts and he glared at the him.

"It has nothing to do with you Neiji san. If you've had your fun please leave." Kurama's voice was cold.

"Do you think Naruto is unable to hold his ground against that guy?" Neiji's face was impassive now. Kurama bit the inside of his cheeks.

"What master is capable of you know better!" Kurama growled deep in his throat and Neiji rolled his eyes.

"This is what I'm trying to say. He can hold his ground Kurama you just need to watch his back. This is what we are here for!" Neiji said coldly and turned. Kurama was taken aback by the implication of Neiji's words. He felt the veins in his temples throb. He wanted to groan loudly but bit back it. Wasn't Kakashi enough? What was on Neiji's mind? He had no clue but he wasn't going to let them do anything to his master! Kurama quickly made his way inside the apartment and heard the voices coming from the living room and took long strides.

He would protect Naruto! No matter what! He won't let any one do any harm to his master!


Naruto's mind raced in different directions during the whole drive after the kids fell asleep. He felt him self on edge while thinking about Kakashi. He could've told Kakashi to fuck off but he knew that would've been a mistake. Kakashi would've followed him nevertheless, at least now he was in front of his eyes. But still he felt exposed to Danzo much more. Naruto bit the inside of his lips and his clenched his fists, He hated it. He hated the feeling of being so vulnerable to his grand father!

He didn't know what that old man had against him but Naruto knew that Danzo hated him. In fact Danzo hated his father and mother too! Naruto gritted his teeth and looked outside. Danzo hatred for him and his mother could be because of them being unwanted or that crap but why his father too? Did Danzo hated his father because he married the girl he wanted? Or was it because of some other reason? What the hell was he missing? He tried so hard to dig into Danzo's past, anything that could give him a clue but there was nothing but after that much research and some of Danzo's ruthless decisions Naruto knew one thing clearly. Danzo despised Uzumaki's! But the reason behind the hatred was unfortunately still unknown.

It wasn't like he didn't tried. He did his best but it was like every record on Uzumaki's vanished in thin air. Still Naruto had a hope that if he could get a lead may be things would get easier and simpler.

Once the reached in the parking of apartment building and Hana had parked the car. Kakashi and Hana rushed to his side. Hana took Boruto from him and they turned to leave.

"Boss." Naruto heard the overly enthusiastic shout and looked in the direction. There stood Sai with Kurama and.. Neiji? OK now that was interesting because he didn't remembered calling Neiji. Naruto didn't let his expressions waver and they slowly made their way to three men. Naruto felt how the air became so tensed after Sai and Kurama saw Kakashi with him but right now wasn't the time for explanations. Naruto was looking at Neiji when he caught the way Sai smiled at Hana and Hana obviously didn't bother to even look at him.

"Hey there." Neiji had his usual smirk but Naruto knew from his eyes that the words were friendly and not threatening or hostile. Naruto simply nodded and gave a firm shake to Neiji's stretched hand. After the small greeting all of them were already on their way inside the building because everyone of them knew the dangers of Naruto being in a public place for too long without the tight security. They quickly entered the elevator which was reserved only for Naruto's floor.

Naruto stifled the sigh and tried not to roll his eyes on the way Hana, Sai and Kurama kept on glaring at Kakashi. It was slightly irritating how they looked so tensed by Kakashi's presence. Yes, kakashi was indeed strong but he wasn't invincible. In fact Naruto knew for a fact that he could beat that guy then why were those three acting like that. Naruto almost took a sigh of relief when the lift finally stopped and they got out of it. Naruto knew that Neiji, Kakashi and Kurama were behind them but he didn't comment on it. He didn't wanted his kids to wake up right now because some adults were unable to act like one.

Naruto quickly made his way inside the apartment with Sai and Hana. He hummed appreciatively seeing how everything was clean even though it's been a while anyone entered it or more like since Boruto and Inojin were born, Naruto never had to use this apartment. He tried to stay out of those activities which would need the security of this apartment or more like this floor. Only the people who worked directly under him knew about this place and the reasons for secrecy wasn't pleasant either. Naruto's eyes turned cold when he thought about his tainted past and turned to face Sai.

Naruto turned slowly to not to bother his sleeping son and gently passed sleeping Inojin to Sai.

"Take Inojin to his and Boruto's room and after that come right into the library and if Kurama is done threatening Kakashi and comes back. Tell him to come straight to the library too." Sai would have smirked if it wasn't for Naruto's cold eyes and steely expressions. Naruto was scary on the daily basis but when he was pissed off. All hell broke loose.

Sai and Hana quickly left the room while Naruto made his way inside the library. Now the said library it self wasn't that important with beautiful and stylish bookcases in the walls, two arm chairs and a couch, exotic plants adorning it and beautiful paintings hanging on the dark colored walls. Yes it was a normal reading corner of the apartment but... Naruto stepped closer to the left wall which had a picture hanging of him and Ino in a beautiful silver frame. It was a picture of him with Ino during their trip to Hawaii. He was wearing a simple sky blue T-shirt with white shorts and Ino was wearing a matching sky blue tank top with white jeans. Both of them were wearing matching blue sapphire necklaces. Naruto lost his train of thoughts looking at the picture. It was taken just before a day they got to know about Ino's pregnancy. Naruto's face darkened a bit and he quickly flipped the picture pressing the button on the wall. With a small creak the right side of wall beside the picture opened a secret pathway to the meeting room.

Naruto entered inside the room and took the main seat. He placed his elbows on the table and placed his face on his entwined hands. His eyebrows were knitted in a deep frown and his sapphire eyes had a ominous glint to them. His posture was tense and alert, a habit form past years.

His thoughts drifted back to the time he and Ino had a talk about Naruto's involvement in underworld.

"You have to stop it now Naruto. This isn't the escape! How long are you planning to continue like this." Ino's voice was gentle but at the same time strong and determined.

"Ino please. We have had this talk million times already. I'm who I am! I am this person! I'm not seeking any escape Ino." Naruto's voice held no anger but there was a clear warning in his were in the Namikaze estate right now. It was Tuesday after noon while having lunch because the client had an emergency and canceled the lunch. And this is when Ino started their much repeated argument again.

"Oh Please! Who are you fooling Naruto? You think doing God knows what would calm you? Your grandfather just want to turn you in a monster! Just like him!" Ino's soft tone turned cold and bitter in the end.

"Ino. Please drop it." Naruto felt slightly irritated. The date of his mother's death anniversary were approaching and making him more than edgy because this was the same time that happened too.

"Can't you see how doing all of this is destroying you? Naruto you are becoming someone I don't know anymore. This isn't right! This is not you Naruto." Ino's eyes filled with love, care and... pity. Naruto's jaw clenched and he got up quickly from the table.

"I'm not Naruto Uzumaki any more Ino! You don't know my demons! You don't know anything!" Naruto turned to see Ino with his face hardened and his eyes with an unreadable emotion glistering in them, "I'm so tainted. I don't even know my self." A cruel smirk adorned Naruto's face and he left while Ino called out his name.

The light creak and thumping sound of foot steps broke Naruto out of his thoughts and he slowly looked up to see Sai and Kurama in the room. It was a relief that he didn't have to tell them to keep Kakashi and Neiji out and well Hana wasn't in field anymore.

"Boss."... "Master" Sai and Kurama said as a greeting and Naruto slowly blinked his eyes in response.

"Sai?" Naruto looked straight at Sai with his eyes sharp and observant, piercing right into your soul. It even made a guy like Sai squirm under his gaze.

"I've throughly investigated and I found some interesting things Boss like how the company which works under Aburame's actually belongs to Hyuuga's. And Boss while there I also found a secret door in the wall and that door led to an emergency exit and Boss I've checked the whole construction map but the door isn't shown there. This could explain how even though The false CEO entered and everyone saw him, no one noticed anything unusual because he wasn't the impostor." Sai expression turned grim.

"So it's confirmed that Itachi Uchiha was kidnapped by his own company's CEO which is ran by Hyuuga's." Naruto's eyes glinted maliciously. Kurama and Sai stifled the shiver and kept their faces impassive." And what's the news about Izumi Uchiha?"

"Well why don't you let me tell you about Uchiha Izumi?" On the female voice three men looked up to see Haruno Sakura from special branch taking a seat on one of the empty chairs. Sakura was a beautiful twenty seven years old women with beautiful strawberry blond hairs with cotton candy pink highlights. She was still wearing her uniform and had a tired look on her face.

"Sakura." Naruto gave a nod and Sakura let out a beautiful smile grace her lips.

"Namikaze san." She said with a glint to her emerald eyes but quickly composed her self, her face taking a serious edge," The man who last talked to Izumi Uchiha has been killed Namikaze san. We recovered his body from a dumpster this morning. There was nothing on the man which could give us any clue but after my solo inquiry I have got the leads but it's still kind of dead end." Sakura let out an irritated huff. It was when the heard another creak and Hana entered with four cups of herbal tea. They all went quiet while she served the tea. It wasn't because they didn't trust Hana but the reason was simple. It was about rules. Hana was now just a caretaker and nanny. She wasn't in buisness anymore.

"May I ask how Haruna san?" Kurama asked in his reserved tone once Hana left and Sakura nodded tiredly rubbing her temples. She was dead tired after running around in circles.

"The man belonged from a local gang and the members said that this guy Kawaki was meeting with some higher ups in their business and he left the gang just one week before the kidnapping so one really knew but I have a feeling that they must be hiding something because it's impossible that he wouldn't keep contact with at least one of them." Sakura bit her lips anxiously. It was already one whole fucking week since the missing and there were too many blind spots.

"Kurama you handle this and Sai dig everything you can about Hyuuga's. I want everything and I'll also go and do some investigation on my own." Naruto voice held authority and steeliness." Sakura when you get a lead inform Sai. Because if Itachi was taken by Hyuuga's then the auction and Izumi san's kidnapping is also done by Hyuuga's." Every one nodded but while drinking the herbal tea in a peaceful silent no one noticed how Kurama's face darkened a bit after he heard about Naruto's solo investigation. Kurama didn't wanted Naruto to return to that world. If it wasn't for Boruto and Inojin Naruto would've never left it in the first place and Kurama didn't wanted Naruto to go back there any more.

"All of you can leave now." After they've finished the tea Naruto's voice boomed in the spacious meeting room and three of them got up to leave. Sai and Sakura made their ways out but Kurama just stood there.

"If you've something worth saying then speak up Kurama." Naruto's voice was low but sharp and taunting. Kurama inhaled a deep breath and looked straight into Naruto's piercing blue eyes.

"Master are you really planning on using them?" Kurama bit the inside of his cheek but kept his face impassive.

"If you mean by using Amatersu then yes I'm planning on doing it."

"Master there is no need for you to do this. Sai and I'll easily cover it. Even Jake and Amaru are on it with Sai." Kurama almost pleaded.

"If you could've Kurama then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Leave and send Neiji inside." Naruto's words were final and Kurama knew there was nothing he could say would have any effect. He clenched his fist, gave a quick bow and left.

Naruto sighed and leaned against the back of the comfy seat.

'Amatersu'

Naruto knew the reason behind Kurama's weary behavior. Amatersu was a name to be the Yakuza world there was none who didn't know about them. They were called the group of demons. Before Amatersu there was Akatsuki. When Naruto entered the world the Akatsuki was on the brink of disappearing. They were being targeted and killed. It was as if the whole universe was against them but Naruto knew! He knew who was doing this! He knew that it was none other than Danzo who killed all of them. The one betraying was none other than their own leader.

Nagato was killed even before Naruto joined the organization after the incident . Naruto knew it had something to do with Nagato being an Uzumaki. After that Akatsuki was being officially hunted down, may be Danzo thought that due to those member's loyalty to Nagato they would turn against him. So he killed them all than be it the legendary assassin Obito or the Zetsu twins. Nagato's wife Konan who had nothing to do with this all was also killed. Kakuzu and Juzo were killed too and no one knew how the hell their bodies got torn beyond belief. It was a nasty end for such a powerful organization but ...

It was when Amatersu was founded. After Akatsuki was cleaned off the face of earth, they made another more deadly organization under Jotomaru Mazuka and for others Amatersu was name of death but for him it was home.People who loved him, who were loyal to him and who never questioned his any command after Mazuka passed the title of leader to him. He knew he had done a lot of inhuman deeds while being there. Danzo made it his life mission to make his hands as dirty as he could but after every bull shit he went through there were them.

No body knew this but he was still connected to Amatersu even after the orders of Danzo. He wasn't going to abandon those people who were there to mend his broken pieces. Who were there when he went through all of that craziness. NO! Kurama wasn't there! Ino wasn't there! No one was! But only them! So wasn't it funny to ask of him to abandon his family? Yes it was fucked up and messed up, having a family of trained killers might seem like a nightmare but that was it.

Naruto heard the light creak and turned to see Neiji entering with a serious expression on his face.

"Neiji san." Naruto said in a blank tone and Neiji looked into his eyes with his freaky pale icy eyes.

"Naruto san." Neiji tilted his head and small smirk played on his lips. Naruto sighed closing his eyes for a moment and that was all the warning Neiji got before Naruto came flying on him and pinning him roughly against the wall.

"Why are you here Neiji san?" The words were still blank and spoken slowly but Naruto's hold on Neiji neck didn't lightened.

"I had something to tell you." Neiji's expression hardened too. Naruto's hold was like steel. Neiji himself was a strong man and trained but well the raw power Naruto held in his grip made every thing impossible. Naruto softened the grip and stepped away but the spitefulness in his eyes didn't lessened nor his alert posture relaxed.

"Speak." The word was said with gritted teeth and clenched fist.

"My Uncle and your grandfather are up to no good. They are thinking about..." Neiji was cut off.

"Thinking of killing me. I know." Naruto said with a roll of his eyes. Neiji looked shocked, "Don't give me this look Neiji san. You are some one on the side line and I've been playing this game while being on front."

"But he is your grandfather! And.." Neiji really looked shocked.'poor guy.' Naruto wanted to laugh.'If this guy knew the truth behind my father's death. he wouldn't be so surprised.'

"And this is messed up! I know Neiji san. I know all of it. It's something bigger than being a mafia family Neiji san. But still the real question is why are you telling me this? What's the catch?" Naruto's eyes sharpened like a lion's eyes in dark. Shining with a coldness and blood lust in them.

"I..." Neiji cleared his suddenly dry throat.

"Before you start I would like to say something." Naruto's lips twitched, a sickening smile spreading on his lips. He leaned against the table looking at Neiji with his cold eyes, "I hate bullshit. Now start." On the end the smile disappeared and Neiji felt a shiver running down his spine.

"I.. want to work for you Naruto san." Neiji said with a steady tone.

"Why?" Neiji opened his lips but then took a deep breath. Something in him told him that it would be better to just state the truth.

"I want revenge against my uncle." Neiji felt his the veins in his fist popping with the rage and betrayal he felt for his uncle. Naruto didn't said anything just stared to let Neiji complete whatever he was going to say, "That monster! He killed my father and took my mother as his mistress where she committed suicide after some time. I want to avenge my parents! Please Naruto san trust me. I have no ill intentions." Naruto stared deep into Neiji's eyes and nodded.

"Hmm. It's seems like a valid reason but please think about it one more time." Naruto's tone was professional. Not cold or harsh but no trace of warmth either.

"I've made up my mind Naruto san. There is nothing more to think!" Neiji looked desperate but Naruto had other plans.

"Neiji san!" The words were a final warning. He was being ordered to re think not asked... Neiji flinched a bit inwardly on the harsh command.

Neiji clenched his fists and then gave a curt slight bow of his head before quickly leaving and Naruto just stared at the spot. Neiji could be a very powerful ally but first Naruto had to determine that how much of Neiji's story was true or if it was true at all. Naruto quickly took his cell out of his pocket and pressed some digits. Soon the bell was ringing.

"Hello." Upon hearing the voice Naruto's whole demeanor changed a bit. His facial muscles relaxed and he slowly sat down on the seat.

"It's Naruto." Naruto gently said with a note of respect to his indifferent tone.

"Oh if it isn't Naruto. How are you boy?" The gentleness of voice made Naruto feel nostalgic with memories.

"I've been good. Utakata san I need some help." Naruto said without any further delay, "I want a complete history check on the second in command of Hyuuga's."

"Hmm ok I'll have Yugito and Hidan immediately on this matter but boy is there anything else you are not telling me?" Utakata's serious yet concerning tone made Naruto oddly relaxed.

"There is but I can't disclose that matter right now. I'll tell you personally when we meet." Naruto said suggestively and he heard a amused chuckle.

"Should I tell Sasori to start gathering the ingredients for your favorite food?" Naruto's lips twitched into a amused smile.

"I wouldn't have it other way." Naruto said and heard Utakata snort. He stared down at his wrist watch which showed that it was already six pm. Naruto's grip tightened on the phone. "I would love to chat more but I have to go and have dinner with a political rival." Naruto tried to casually play it off.

"Oh. Then you should go get ready." Naruto was thankful that Utakata didn't catch on the hidden anxiousness in his voice or.. "And please try to control your temper. We aren't allowed to kill outside the business. Stay blessed." Naruto clicked his tongue. 'Why the hell I even thought that he wouldn't catch!'

Naruto took a deep breath and readied himself for the night. He didn't wanted to have this dinner with Orochimaru. He hated that man! He hated what that man did to him. How he just watched while looking at him with those cruel yellowish sickly eyes.

Naruto took a deep breath when he felt that he was getting out of line. He wouldn't think about that! He wasn't that weak boy any more! He wasn't the trembling mess anymore! No he had more control! In fact he was the one in control!

Naruto bit his lips because no matter what he told himself. No matter how many times he repeated that he was over it. He wasn't.

The reality of what had happened to him. The impact it left on his mind was unforgettable. The scars on his body faded, the deeper cuts and scars were removed by different expensive skin surgeries but the scars his soul had were incurable. His soul had been darkened and tainted. The feeling of suffocation he felt wasn't surprising. He knew his body was having a panic attack but it still made him laugh on it's irony.

Didn't he said that he was stronger now? Then what was this? His body matured, he became better at pretending, better at hiding his feelings, better at being a cold emotionless killing machine but... His soul was still trapped in that time. The time which marred his innocence. Which made him the monster he was. Naruto gripped his shirt over his erratic heart and squeezed his eyes shut. Just like always he imagined his mother's carefree laugh, His father's gentle hugs, Ino's mischievous grins, his kids innocent little acts... Naruto squeezed his ragging heart tighter. It wasn't working like it as supposed to be or the way it had worked many times. May be the impact of actually meeting that guy was bigger. He could feel his heart drumming into his ears and he could feel his body burn, his throat going dry and his sight turning blurry. Naruto tried to blink away the approaching darkness but it was becoming impossible.

Why was he alive any way? What was there to live? In fact the real question was... Why was he alive after what had happened to him? Naruto blinked but the darkness was becoming dense and his breath was becoming heavier. Everyone already left him. His mother. His father. His wife. What was left there to live. Danzo would take his kids by force too then why the struggle to even live? Naruto felt his eyes stinging. Why was he so worthless? Why was his life just a game for other people? didn't he deserved to be happy too? didn't he deserved the love too?

Naruto squeezed his eyes in resignation. It was too much. he was tired. Tired of fighting. Tired of everything..

"You idiot why didn't you come to school? Do you want to fail?" The voice was familiar but who was it.

"Teme I'm sick. I fail or pass it doesn't concern you!" Naruto could hear the hoarse tone of a younger boy.

"..." The line went quiet he could guess by the silence but then just after five minuted he heard the ringing of the bell. Naruto could see the younger boy was frowning but who was he.

"What are you doing here?" he could hear the shock in the blond's voice.

"Hn. I brought some onigiri and the cold medicine and some painkiller from Itachi's medical box." Itachi? Naruto frowned on the familiar name.

"ONIGIRI! Sasuke I LOVE YOU. OH GOD I WAS SO HUNGRY." Naruto saw the boy jumping in joy even though he was sick. But something struck him. The name. SASUKE? Naruto felt his senses stirring.

" Just eat before it gets cold." Naruto could clearly see the younger black haired boys face tinted red. Sasuke... Uchiha sasuke... HIS SASUKE!

"Sasuke" He felt the name slip from his parted dried lips and tried to gulp down the air. But he whispered again, "Sasuke".. "Bolt"..." Jin" His family... Naruto felt his grip a bit tightening on his sense and he took a shuddering breath before opening his eyes. Yes he loved Sasuke. he still loved him and his innocent angels! He swore to protect them and he would. Naruto took deep breaths and grunted while getting up from the seat. He felt dizzy but well he had a severe attack so it wasn't surprising. His phone vibrated and he checked the message while slowly rubbing his throbbing temples.

The text was from Ten Ten. She text him the address of the restaurant they would be having their dinner and Naruto took a deep breath. He could do this. He was powerful. he was powerful enough. Naruto quickly collected himself and composed himself before getting out of the room.

He saw Hana working in the kitchen and gave a nod before getting inside his room. He was going t take his shower when he eyes drifted the newly placed door in the wall. He looked back to his bathroom door and then to the other door. It was no helping. After that little episode he really wanted to hold Sasuke for a bit. Naruto tossed his suit on the bed and quickly made his way inside the other apartment. He saw how Kurama was sitting on the couch in a dark living room meaning Karin was obviously downstairs and Sasuke... he was inside the room.

Before Kurama could react Naruto gestured him to keep quite and slowly made his way to Sasuke's room. He opened the unlocked door without a sound and slowly stepped inside. Sasuke was standing closer to the window with his back to the door. A feral animalistic grin broke on Naruto's lips. He slowly crept closer to Sasuke's form. He undid his tie slowly and stepped closer Sasuke. So close that even Sasuke noticed in his lost state. But before he could turn. A blind fold was swiftly tied on his eyes and his arms were gripped tightly by Naruto. Sasuke tried to struggle but his body was completely pressed between Naruto and the wall.

"Fuck you!" Sasuke hissed out and Naruto let out a dark chuckle.

"We don't have time for that." And before Sasuke could retort Naruto plunged his tongue inside Sasuke mouth and hummed in appreciation on the sweet and sour taste of strawberries. Sasuke struggled but this time didn't bite on his tongue or lips. 'At least they were making progress' Naruto mentally snorted.

Naruto quickly pinned both of Sasuke's arms with one hand, It was difficult with Sasuke struggling but Naruto just slowly pressed his fingers on the sensitive nerved of Sasuke wrists making him wince in pain.

"Bastard!: Sasuke gritted out and Naruto just chuckled before attacking the throbbing pulse on Sasuke neck. He kissed the spot and sucked there not too roughly but not too gently either. With Sasuke it was like a thirst which couldn't be quenched. This burning in his soul wasn't easy to sooth. He wanted Sasuke and he wanted him whole. The primal feeling and yearning was too much for his ardent heart. He was going insane with need and lust. After forming a hickey he thrust his tongue inside that hot cavern again but this time Sasuke did bit him and it turned Naruto even more. He kissed him fervently like there was no tomorrow. He was craving Sasuke. Naruto felt a shudder going though his body and slowly backed away from the kiss and slowly let Sasuke slide down the wall. If it wasn't for his stony composure he would have fell down too on how wobbly his legs felt but he he didn't. He touched his still moist and bitten lips and bit back the smiled. He quickly turned and left the room. Now that he had that kiss he was feeling oddly relaxed and determined.

Sasuke slowly brought his hands up and undid the blindfold and stared down at the silk light orange tie. He glared at the tie and threw it away which rubbing his sore wrists. Where the fuck that man actually pressed?! He felt like his wrists were being broken. Sasuke glared again at the tie ahile rubbing his abused wrists. He was so going to take down that man and he knew exactly how...


THE CHAPTER IS UN BETA'D!
