Disclaimer: Naruto and Supernatural are not mine we all know this.
Inner Evil: Hey guys I'm back, so I decided that for every chapter I finish writing I will post one chapter. I do have a couple of stories going on right now –which I admit it's all my fault but I can't help it when I get an idea for a story my fingers get twitch and I have to write it while it's fresh.- so that means that my updates are going to take longer but definitely not too long and most importantly I am not dropping this story by any means. I NEVER LEAVE A STORY HALF DONE! I want to thank swordsmanwielder, LeopardIzzy, and last but not least Rosebud1991
:-raynaldy- I'm glad you like the idea for the story, I hope you like the way I compared their eyes and set them apart. Dean will meet Naruto in the next chapter (spoiler). I will continue to update (a little slowly) once I finish the story I will post the chapters faster.
Life is not fair but Karma is
Guide and Sentinel have always been considered the pinnacles of human perfection; they were blessed with senses far beyond a normal Alpha or Omega, that's what he always heard as a child. Every person had two genders that was the norm, male or female and Alpha, Omega or if one was unlucky –according to everyone else- Beta. But 10% of the population had a third gender which was either Sentinel or Guide. Like the secondary gender this third gender had levels that depict the strength and ability of the person. Like with Alphas and Omegas there were low, mid, and high level Guides and Sentinels. The most common was the low level; it was considered a symbol of status to be anything higher.
Castiel had never cared about any of this when he was younger his only wish was to remain close to his best friend forever. He never cared about second or third gender when he was younger unlike the rest of the kids his age who were obsessed with what they were going to present as. It wasn't until his big brother Rafael that he cared or at least saw how important it truly was, so he decided he was fine with presenting as anything as long as it was not a Beta because Beta's were never happy. He was young when his brother died and all he heard were the adults mumbling how it was because he was a Beta, it wasn't until he was older that he found out the truth by then and stigma had set in and he was already an Alpha.
It was something that surprised everyone, once Dean presented as an Alpha everyone –including himself- assume that Castiel would be his Omega so when he presented as an Alpha Castiel was sure that it was the end of them "Stupid! You're not getting rid of me that easy" but Dean made sure that he knew better. Castiel didn't really cared about being an Alpha he knew he wasn't the typical Alpha apparently he was too sensitive. It wasn't until he was older that his third gender manifested itself –which wasn't common as the third gender usually manifested with the second- it was the death of his oldest brother –Michael- that brought him online.
Michael was his idol; Castiel looked up to him in every sense of the word. He was an Alpha but he was kind and caring, he was the heir to the Angels Empire and every bit the CEO and Alpha that it needed. He was the one that told Castiel that it was okay to be the way he was "You should always be proud of who you are not an Alpha but Castiel." His death was painful to Castiel and it was worse because Michael died protecting him. The trauma awaken Castiel's Sentinel, his senses went into overload and he zoned so hard that it took days and many tries to bring him out. His traumatic presentation and his days in a coma like zone awoken Dean's third gender as a Sentinel making him snap at anyone that was not a Guide or Omega who tried to get near him.
It was just their luck that they turned out to be the extremely rare level Prime which only 0.002% of the Sentinels and Guide population are. Ever since then Castiel's life took a complete 180 he became the heir as the only Alpha and he also became one of the most eligible bachelors in the world and one of the most powerful Sentinels. But he was able to deal with everything and get through everything with Dean by his side. Dean had been his rock, his everything it was all thanks to him and his family that Castiel made it this long without going crazy because being a Prime was not easy but he also knew that Dean alone would not be able to keep him sane forever.
It was another sunny day in Beverly Hills, the nannies and staffs to the rich and elite were going about their day getting everything ready for their employers to enjoy their richness. In a contemporary Mediterranean house 7 blocks north of Beverly Hills the staff was small for such a massive house only made up of a married couple who serve as the grounds keep and the housekeeper. They also began their day cleaning and watering the plants while their employer took a morning swim in the expansive pool. It was very early but the two staff members were used to early mornings when their employer was staying over.
The older woman walked over to the pool with a towel on her elbow and a tray with what looks like a green smoothie "Sir, I have your morning smoothie here also Mr. Hatake called he asked if you could call him back." One more lap and the man in the pool stopped, shaking his head like a dog to get rid of the excess water dripping down. As he was walking out the sun hit his skin just right highlighting tone muscles, biceps bulging from the long swim, hard abs with a deep V cut-off by swim trunks that for brief seconds stuck to his skin outlining the thick long package hidden within them. Tone legs walked over to the older woman who was finally able to look up to the face of an angel
'both figuratively and literately…Mr. Winchester is a lucky man and so will be the Omega that wins the lottery with those two.'
Even after years of working for him Ivana still felt like a young Omega in front of her employer but who could blame her when her employer was none other than Castiel Angels. "…snic, Ms. Kursnic!" She was snapped by a deep hoarse voice "Oh forgive me sir, here." She passed the towel and watched as the young man dried off before taking the juice and drinking half "Thank you" before walking away once gone Ivana took a deep breath "If it wasn't for the age difference and because I trust you both I would definitely be jealous." Ivana jumped in the air startle she turned to see the amuse gaze of her husband
"You scared me, but you are right I am pass my prime –and I already found my mate, who looked like that once- but whoever in chosen by them…"
"Will hit the jackpot"
Castiel enter the house already listing all the things that he needed to get done for the grand opening today. He walked up the grand serpentine staircase that was covered by 2-story wall of glass and a massive chandelier. He walked into the big master bedroom split with the bed on one side and a sitting area by the window, ahead were double doors leading to the master bathroom and the walking in closet. Castiel turned on the news walking towards the bathroom but stopped when he heard of a fire on The Mark in New York City.
He rushed to the bedside table and picked up his phone "Hey Cas, now is not a good time." Hearing his mate's rushed tone worried him because Dean rarely got flustered "I just saw about the fire at the Mark…" but his mate knew him so well and knew exactly what he needed to hear to calm down "…Yea I'm dealing with that now. No one was hurt it's just a shit storm that I have to take care of…"
"You don't have to take care of it alone Dean, remember what we spoke about delegating? Please remember to stop and eat…Dean I love you…" Castiel smiled feeling better about the situation. He showered to take off the chlorine –regretfully he had not time for a bath- and changed into a linen blue suit part of the summer collection by one of his favorite designer Dorothy Baum.
"Hey Boss."
"Kakashi is everything set for the opening today?"
"Good morning to you too, I had a great day the new Icha Icha series came out and I…"
"Kakashi the set-up is it done?"
"You're so serious boss but yes before you pop a blood vessel I will tell you that everything is ready, I'm actually on location we're putting the final touches now."
"Okay what about the issue with the lighting? They stood over last night, were they able to fix it?"
"The Electrician and the lighting guys are still testing but it seems to be fix."
"Okay I'll be there in a few."
Castiel walked downstairs taking a few of Ms. Kursnic freshly made Ponchik which were his favorite and grabbing a quick cup of tea. "Thank Ms. Kursnic I will most likely be out all day so don't worry about Lunch or Dinner." Castiel send the woman a nod before walking out a Ponchik in his mouth checking his phone "Have a great day sir." Walking out there was a car waiting for him at the front
"To the mall please."
"Yes sir"
He checked his email and followed up with the issue in New York not because he doubted Dean's ability more because he was a natural worrier. Things seemed to have calmed down base on the news hopefully the worse was over.
"We are here sir"
"Thank you"
Before him was a long building that took up a whole block, inspired by their Vittorio Emanuelle Gallery in Milan but on a smaller scale. Like many major designers Angels International also decided to place a store but had the issues that they had many major designers and Castiel felt that each should have their own space hence the gallery. It took months, years to negotiate with the current stores on rodeo drive until they came with this solution a 2 level gallery that kept the stores already there but also added new ones, once the designers were informed that Angels International was forking the bill for renovations they were a lot more agreeable.
Castiel knows that his family name also helped the Angels had the biggest and most successful fashion empire in the world and like Midas anything they touch became gold. Entering the mall Castiel stared at the glass vaulted ceiling, this project has been his baby from the very beginning even before becoming CEO on his first trip to Rodeo Drive Castiel remembers asking why they don't just make a big gallery he remembers Michael telling him "That's a great idea Cas once I'm CEO we'll work on it together, deal?" Castiel walked over to big round statue of a wolf "We did it Michael and you are here with me just like you said." Workers were still running around setting everything up around the statue were seats and a plague "An angel among Angels" Dean and Gabriel liked the play on words. There was no map as Castiel requested it was better as the people would have to walk around to look for what they need and hopefully be drawn to many other places.
"Good Morning Alpha!"
"Good Morning Mr. Angels"
"Good Morning Sentinel"
Castiel rolled his eyes at the blatant adoration in the eyes and voices of people that did not even know him. He never understood the appeal, these people didn't know if he was an asshole or an evil man and even worse he knew that they didn't care the Omegas practically threw themselves at him and if they didn't then their families would do it for them. Dean was the extrovert, the flirt he drew people in like bees to flowers but Castiel was never social in fact he was far too introverted for that, he was very awkward and stiff or so his brothers say.
"Sir!"
Slim Asian girl was walking over to him her silky brown hair in two buns a small smile on her face, the girl looked like a model beautiful enough to grace the runways of the biggest fashion shows. "Tenten how is everything going so far" The girl stopped before the tall Alpha getting jealous looks from all the Omegas around "The last of the designers send their representative to give the final approval to their store before opening. The models are all ready and the clothes are due to come in any minute for the fashion show." The girl had a clipboard going over the information "Are all the designs that will go on the fashion show ready? How about set up?" The girl was quiet for a brief second but it was enough for Castiel to stop and turn to her
"Is there an issue Tenten?"
"No not an issue per say but Louis Vuitton…"
"What about them? They refused our invitation to join the fashion show and turned up their nose at being part of the gallery. If I remember correctly their exact words were 'why would we need to join some mall when we have our own block?' was it not?"
"Yes sir, it was but one of their representatives called interested in…"
"I'm going to stop you there Tenten I believe in second chances as much as the next person but not when I'm disrespected. Louis Vuitton is blacklisted from anything to do with this gallery no exceptions, is that clear?"
"Yes sir!"
"Good! Now is there any real issue that I need to worry about? How's the lighting?"
"Mr. Hatake is supervising but they have fixed the issue."
"Did they say what it was?"
"Cross wires, an error in installation."
"Tenten I need you to check with PR see how the publicity for the event is going also check the VIP list and make sure everything is set with the event planner."
"Yes sir."
Castiel walked over to the stage where some crew members were finish final touches it looked great. The stage was a U with a few seats in the center for VIP members; the lighting was soft yet colorful like the spring décor around the stage. In the stage there was a man with white hair and a tall slim built he seemed to have his head bury in a book. "This better mean that everything is ready and you have time to spare." Castiel spoke with the man that he chose as the Director of this Gallery something that he sometimes wonder if it was the right decision "Boss! So good to see you, you came just in time." Castiel only raised his eyebrow as another man came over "Castiel this is the electrician." Castiel got up on stage facing the man "what was the issue?" They both spend a few minutes talking over while Castiel asked a few questions until he was satisfy.
The rest of the time Castiel spoke with a few people while the final touches were made. The clothes and designers came in and the models were prep. The media was at the door taking pictures of the outside like rabid dogs wanting to come in and get the first look at the first and only 'mall' in Rodeo Drive.
"Sir the press is here."
"Let our reporter from The Garrison and the reporter from The Beverly Hills Courier in."
"Yes sir."
The Garrison was the number 1 fashion magazine in the world and part of Angels International, although they had their own editor in chief the same as their newspaper which was mostly online and was based in Chicago. While each branch had its own head they all answered to Castiel as the overall CEO it was the reason why he requested a local press just to avoid being call bias although he was.
"Mr. Angels thank you for this honor."
"Alpha Angels are you wearing one of the designers on the show?"
That was the reason why he was so biased to media because with their media he knew what to expect it wasn't the questions or security it was manners and respect. The interview was very basic The Garrison asked about the show and the Gallery while the other press asked about Dean, what he looked for in an Omega and his love life in general. It was frustrating and if he wasn't so use to it he would have snapped and told her off instead he ended the interview early.
Soon Castiel gave the okay to open the doors to the socialite and any other fashion aficionado who paid to attend the event. People walked around the stores that were now open not wasting time and shopping since it was all new collections as per Castiel's agreement with the designer. At noon hors d'oeuvres were passed along the guests who mingled with each other all filled with excitement for the show to start.
Castiel was talking with some executives from other fashion lines when he felt it a strong feeling that just said Dean. Castiel excused himself "Kakashi I need your office…" Kakashi looked worry as he could see that something was wrong
"Castiel?"
"Have the people head to the stage and start the show."
Kakashi knew Castiel for a while now and the look on his face was his 'don't argue with me' so Kakashi got to work but not before giving Tenten a look to follow the Alpha see what's wrong.
Tenten had been an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) before meeting Castiel so Administrative Assistant was the last career she would have chosen but Castiel was someone she admired, someone who saved her and now she is honored to be able to help him, make his life easier. Her boss had amazing instincts and it's not just his sixth sense as a Prime so if he felt that something was wrong than something was defiantly wrong. She walked into the offices and found her boss anxiously on the phone trying to get in contact with someone
"Come on pick up, come on Dean picked up the damn phone!"
Then Tenten realized what the problem was she took her phone and looked at news feed to see if something was wrong "Sir, Sir, Castiel!" this got her the man's attention but Tenten just show him her phone news about the spike in Manhattan rumor to be from Dean losing control "Shit, shit! Sam is in Chicago. I have to go." Tenten knew how much Dean meant to Castiel but she also knew that if he left and it was nothing that could draw attention.
"How about you continue to try and get in contact with Mr. Winchester and I will see what I can find."
In the end, he managed to get in contact with Dean just as he was heading out to the airport and was convinced to stay at least for the rest of the event but he was insistent on leaving the next day. The fashion show and later after party lasted long into the night but Castiel wasn't really paying attention. The news traveled fast so he had a lot of people asking for his opinion and asking him what happened like he wasn't states away from the situation. Once he got to the house he called Dean "Hey babe how was the event?" It was good to hear his mate's voice it calmed his inner Alpha "It was a huge success. Everything was perfect I just wished…" Dean knew his mate better than he knew himself
"I know Castiel but you know he was there and I'm sure he loved it."
"How do you know? You weren't here to see if he was."
It was a joke between them after finding out that Dean's sixth sense was seeing the dead something that scared the crap out of Dean and that he tries to avoid like the plague. Castiel doesn't tell him that he has talked to people while they were out that Castiel did not see. "I don't need to be there or see him to know that your brother was there by your side. Cas, Michael was your biggest fan –after me of course- there is no way he would have missed you fulfilling your goal not even death would keep him away." The statement and the absolute certainty in his mate's tone made Castiel smile
"How was the issue today?"
Dean sigh and Castiel knew that it was a stressful day for his mate "It has been one of those days. But I managed to get things settled with minimum damaged…" Castiel walked into the room taking off his jacket and shoes then sitting in the soft "…the good thing was that I finally got rid of Asmodeus and don't tell me anything because everyone else has." Castiel never liked the man he never though that he was right for the role but he never said anything because both Dean and him agreed a long time ago that they would stay out of each other's professional decisions.
"I'm glad that you were able to set The Mark free."
The statement managed to change Dean's tone "Yea and I got a great GM; he's on probation for now." Castiel was surprised
"Already?!"
"Yeah I gave it to the guy that has been taking care of the hotel in the GM's constant absence." They continue to talk for the rest of the night until Dean had to go to sleep since he had work tomorrow after saying good night to Hunter and Bee he said good night to his mate
"See you tomorrow!"
"I can't wait."
The next day Castiel woke up bright and early like he usually did to go swim but instead getting ready for the day he put on a navy linen suit because it was another hot day and this time actually sat to have breakfast. "These are delicious Ms. Kursnic never could find them in the city." Castiel complement as he ate another Ponchik "I will pack up the rest you can take some to that handsome mate of yours." He checked up with said mate waking him up before Hunter could and followed up with Tenten to make sure that they were still on schedule to leave at 1 PM.
The rest of the morning he spend in the new Gallery speaking with Kakashi ironing out last minute details the place with packed but most of all almost everyone had a bag meaning that they were actually spending money which was good to see. 'See Michael we did it, I hope you are watching this.' Castiel takes a final look seeing the sign on top 'ARCHANGEL MICHAEL GALLERY' He took a picture for Claire then headed home to pick up his bags.
6 hours later
The jet landed in JFK at 8 PM right on time to have dinner with his mate, he told Dean not to pick him up but his mate could not leave it at that so he sent the car. "Welcome back sir." Castiel smiled looking at the bright lights of New York "It's good to be back, Alfie" Castiel had not realized how much he missed the city until he was back. He thinks It's the case with all New Yorkers the love is stronger and deeper once they have been gone a while. He's been in California for a few months and he realized he missed the constant sounds that New York had to offer.
California was the nice girl next door who is nice but basic while New York City was the crazy one that you love anyways because she had character and she makes you feel alive. The closer they got to home the more anxious Castiel grew
"Let's stop of at the house first Alfie."
"Sir, I have orders from two blondes to take you straight to the apartment." 2 blondes so it seemed that his niece and Dean were conspiring against him again
'what else is new.'
Castiel used the drive to shed his CEO shell and go back to being just plain Castiel, mate to Dean and uncle to Claire as well as dad to Bee and co-parent to Hunter.
"Sir we have arrived."
"Thank you Alfie, have a good night."
Castiel took his carry on and headed in to the building anxious to see his mate and niece. "Welcome back Mr. Angels" Castiel nodded to the doorman before heading to the elevator, on his way up he unbutton the first few buttons of his shirt and loosen his tie getting ready for the greeting he will get. As soon as he opened the door Castiel heard the clicking running towards him and he braced himself. Hunter ran over to him tongue out and excited jumping on him and licking his face "Hey Hunter I am happy to see you too. Have you been a good boy? I got you a present." Castiel felt the Pitbull's tail hit his leg it was going so fast "Ruuff Ruuff!" He felt something caress the side of his leg so he looked down to see his black, white and orange cat looking up at him eyes fill with a more restrained excitement
"Meow Meow!"
"Hey sweet girl, how are you? Have you been a good girl? I also brought you a present."
In the kitchen Dean felt something next to him caressing his side, looking over he saw a massive white tiger that reach pass his waist. Despite the massive predator Dean smiled looking completely at ease in fact he seemed almost happy "Hey Angel how was the trip? Did you take care of him?" This question got him a very human eye roll "Yea I know you always do." He felt like he wasn't really forgiven but Angus saved him a yip stole the tiger's attention.
The wolf was acting like a puppy his tail wagging and all excited. The big cat walked with grace and patience while the wolf just danced around. Angel almost humored the excited wolf before walking over and rubbing their heads together as they nuzzle together they disappeared back into the spirit realm. "Did not expect to get a better welcome from the dog and cat than from my mate" The statement made Dean smile "Well what can I say I like to exceed expectations." The cool statement did not match the actions as Dean rushed over and jumping on and hugged his mate "It's good to have you back. I missed you" Castiel buried his face in his mate's neck breathing in his scent finally feeling at peace his inner Alpha purring in satisfaction.
"I missed you too Dean."
God it's been so long that just the sound of Cas' deep and rough voice turned him on beyond believe. "Please don't start making out with me here." Castiel turned and smiled at his niece "Then turn around or get ready to be mentally scar." Dean said before grabbing Castiel's face and turning him clashing their lips together. The kiss was hard and passionate both Alphas battling for dominance their tongues twirling together like two bodies tangle in passionate love making.
"Eww okay safe it for later, I'm hungry."
The two Alphas pulled away their golden Alpha eyes bright with lust and a promise of things to come. Castiel walked over to his niece and put his arm around her in a very awkward hug that would make anyone think that they weren't close but it was completely normal for Castiel, it was a well known that the Alpha could be very socially awkward and hugs were the one thing he can't seem to master even with Dean.
"Hey uncle Cas, how was Beverly Hills?"
Castiel and Claire sat on the island talking about his trip, the young blonde got teary when Castiel showed her the pictures of the tribute to his brother, her father. Claire got up and walked away "look at this you left your bag in the hall." Both men knew that it was a diversion to mask her feelings and tears. Dean and Cas looked at each other
"I'm sure he would have loved it." Castiel smiled at his mate.
After giving the animals their dinner the three sat down to eat Cas' favorite dish of Spaghetti Bolognese –although to be fair Castiel liked all pasta dishes- which Dean cooked in honor of his return. They spent the time catching up and talking about everything that had been going on for them. Dean spoke of Benny's progress and how well he was doing so far, Castiel spoke about the Gallery in Rodeo Drive and he got the Ponchik that Ms. Kursnic sent –which was a huge success- Claire spoke about her classes –which Dean understood more about it since it was his field of Hospitality- and her work at The Bunker
"…I had to tell them off because they were taking advantage of him, Naruto is so sweet and people often take advantage of that."
"Who is Naruto? Is he a boyfriend we should know about?"
"Eww! No! That's like asking me if I think you're hot."
Claire looked kind of green at the idea and Dean was offended by the tone, at the face Castiel just laughed "For your information I'm adorable." Claire raised her eyebrow before looking at her uncle "did the meaning of adorable change and I wasn't made aware?" Dean let out an indignant sound "Hey!" Castiel smiled this was home, this was his family "Oh Gabriel is coming." Dean tried to casually throw in the comment
"What!? Why?"
"Cool! When?"
He got two different response Claire loved her other uncle –he was just a big child- while Castiel was not as happy while he loved his older brother –he was a big child- he could be exhausting. Dean looked guilty and Castiel knew immediately
"Dean?"
"Uh Oh someone's in trouble. I should go do some homework please try to keep it down"
Claire placed her plate in the sink and headed to the spare bedroom which was actually her room when she stayed over "Come on Hunter!" The Pitbull followed her after giving his version of goodnight to his dads –licks and getting rubs- leaving Dean on his own.
"Traitors!"
"Dean why is my brother coming over?"
Dean scratched the back of his head nervously "Well…I might have told Sam that we had some possible prospect…for a Guide –to calm him down- and Gabriel might have heard." Cas just stared at him piercing icy electric blue eyes watching him made him nervous it was what made Cas such a good CEO. "I'm topping tonight…" Dean couldn't help but think that the reaction wasn't so bad "…and you are going to break it to Gabriel and Sam when they come." Suddenly Dean's eyes widen but Castiel ignored him and just continue to clean up the dishes "Wha…? Cas that's…" A look immediately changed his answer "…completely fair." Castiel smiled "I though so." He kissed his mate and walked over to the stairs "you coming?" Castiel kept walking knowing Dean would follow
"More than once I hope."
Inner Evil: There you have it Castiel's chapter and talking a little about Sentinel and Guides.
The next chapter will be the much anticipated meeting between Dean and Naruto.
