Disclaimer: Naruto and Supernatural are not mine we all know this.
Inner Evil: I'm back for the second to last chapter, it is the beginning of the end. I'm really glad you guys stuck with me despite the crazy idea and pairing but most of all my grammatical errors. Your opinions have really helped me as a writer and have lifted my confidence in my writing and ability so thank you very much for everything. Stay with me until the very end and we will go out with a good bang. Thank you for your support medd welcome on board.
:-raynaldy- I didn't plan on making a BennyXNaruto story, in fact I was planning to leave Naruto alone for a while so I have to think about it. I also have to think about a story that would go with the pairing and would speak to me, see if an inspiration hit me like it did with your previous suggestion. I do have a few ideas for other fandoms and pairings some are even crossovers.
Life is not fair but Karma is
In a warehouse somewhere in New York 'I hope I'm still in New York.' Naruto hung from chains in the ceiling. His clothes were torn, one of his eyes was swollen shut, his lips were bright red from the blood he couldn't hold in his mouth and he breathing was raspy and shallow. He was pretty bad both his fingers and toes were bruised and possibly broken a proof that he fought back despite his odds.
The hit on the head had him slightly delirious but he tried to catalogue his injuries; he had a couple broken ribs and he was sure one of them was piercing a lung, a fractured leg from being hit with a tire iron on his 3rd escape attempt, definitely internal bleeding and a concussion that had him in and out of consciousness. 'This is bad, I have to get out or else I'll die here.' The problem was that with his toes and his leg it would be hard for him to walk and crawling was not an option.
'I would rather die fighting and take some of these mother fuckers with me.'
He wonders what he had done in a previous life to deserve such rotten luck; he looked up to see a blood soak Kurama in a corner of the room. With the fox's red fur it was hard to see the blood and he just looked wet. The red eyes just looked at him "I told you to scram!" Naruto yelled at the fox, he had heard horror stories of people using spirit animals to hurt Guides or Sentinels. Kurama didn't talk, in fact the fox hadn't talk since they started beating Naruto and he hoped it was just because he was also exhausted.
The Guide had tried to use his emotions to manipulate the thugs and that's how he escaped the first and second time but by the third the leader must have gotten on to him. They were waiting for Naruto and he slammed a tire iron on his leg a couple of times causing him to scream in pain "Everyone, think of your most painful memory!" He had ordered his crew and all the pain had hit Naruto on top of his own it was like hot nails hammering in his head. The pain was unimaginable after that Naruto had to focus most on his energy on shielding.
'Kill them'
Naruto looked up startle to see that Kurama was still the only one in the room and the fox hadn't spoken 'you're too soft brat, kill them all.' He realized the fox must be speaking in his mind, he had no idea that was possible but it made sense. 'I'm not a killer' it was the truth every time Naruto escaped he would either knock someone out or move in the shadows.
'No, what we are not is dying here. We have so many reasons to live for, now.' Naruto thought of his Alphas who had to be worried sick or maybe they forgot him already. He wanted to see them again, to hold them, to tell them 'tell them I love them.' He instructed Kurama not sure that he would be able to do it himself 'tell them yourself.'
"Fine! You stupid fox, I will."
A week earlier
Sakura trembled with fear and disgust as she walked through a neighborhood she promised never to return to but if they were going to teach Naruto a lesson they needed professionals or at least people that would do anything for money. Adam and Jo refused to go with her "That's not our world, it's yours." She wanted to punch the girl as the other female Omega looked at her like she was gum stuck to her shoes.
The thought of the arrogant girl pissed Sakura off "what's a pretty thing like you doing all alone." She turned to see a tattooed man smirking at her, the look in his eyes practically undressed her. "I'm looking for Orochimaru." The Alpha's eyes widened and looked around as if he expected the mention of the man's name to bring him forth. "What you want with the boss?" She noticed that of the many tattoos the man had one of them was of a snake.
Orochimaru was the leader of a gang in the Bronx that focused on the most immoral and seedy things that no other criminal would even think of. No one knows the man's origin; he had just appeared one day and started recruiting people for his sick experiments. Sakura doesn't know what he was researching but everyone knows that he would do anything to get money to fund that research.
"That's something I will only speak with him about."
"Then you're in luck."
The creepy whispered came from behind her as she felt hot breath on her ear making her jump as the man appeared out of thin air. She no longer could hide the fear when faced with those snake-like eyes and pale skin. "How can I be of service?" The man tried to be charming but for him it was impossible 'get it together girl, the sooner you tell him the faster you can leave this place.' The Omega took a deep breath "We need you to teach someone a lesson for us." The man turned his head curious.
"Simple, a few thugs will…"
"This person is strong, a trained fighter. We need you to kidnap him and rough him up; I will tell you when to let him go."
Sakura handed him a picture of Naruto with the details about where the blond works and an envelope with cash looking around to make sure there was no nosey bystander watching them. She had made sure to protect herself anyways by covering her hair in a hat, wearing sunglasses and her most unflattering clothes. "That is half; you will get the rest when the job is done. The only requirement is that you have to take him from his work and when he's alone." Sakura stressed not wanting the two Alphas to get suspicious about what they were planning.
"Oh…and don't pull any punches."
The Omega walked away wanting to get out of the situation and that neighborhood as soon as possible. She just wanted to go home and wash off the dirty feeling being in that place surrounded by those people gave her. "Damn! Wonder what he did to piss her off." She heard one of the thugs exclaimed as she walked away, Sakura remember the humiliation that she felt in Paris and the rejection.
'He became a worm that flew higher than a bird.'
"It's all set up"
Three days earlier
Naruto had been in a good mood for the last few weeks, things were going great with his Alphas. It was even better when Dean brag about having his courting present almost ready, not because he wanted a present but mainly because they could finally move on to the final stage of their relationship. He had been working on a present of his own even though Claire had told him that he didn't have to.
"Alphas are the ones to give the gifts."
But he wasn't an Omega and if he wanted to be an equal to his Alphas than he should start the relationship as such. Besides he never understood those Omegas that wanted equality but also wanted an Alpha to hold the door, pay the bill and buy them present but never did it back. 'I want true equality!' The Beta was excited because they were going to spend the weekend together and hopefully by the end Naruto would no longer be a virgin.
"You peed your pants dobe?"
"No! Just ready for the weekend teme"
Sasuke and Naruto had developed a strange friendship that bordered on rivalry, some people even thought they hated each other of course some thought they were in love with each other. They worked great together like yin and yang; one was strong where the other was weak.
Sasuke taught Naruto how to take care of his paperwork and the administrative side while Naruto helped Sasuke with his customer service, a true symbiotic relationship between an introvert and extrovert. Dean and Castiel had been jealous of the Omega until they met him and saw the two together.
It was a relatively slow day for Naruto as it was Friday and a lot of people opted to go have drinks with friends instead of going to the gym. There were still a lot of people but for the classes it was a slow day especially since a lot of his instructors weren't in. Gaara had finally gotten tired and asked Lee out and they were on a date, Sasuke was stuck in the office since the end of month report was due soon, two of his other instructors were students and had a limited schedule now that classes started again and another one was on a mating break 'soon that will be me.'
So there were only two instructors besides Naruto and they could only teach certain classes so instead of overwhelming himself with picking up the slack Naruto cancelled a few classes. After the classes that he did have, he decided to go around and help some people with their work out which kept him busy for longer than he thought.
Soon the gym was getting ready to close and he had realized that he hadn't gotten his paperwork and his own homework done. To get better at his job Naruto had been taking a nutrition and physical therapy course that Lee recommended, he really loved it but it gave him more work.
"Fuck!"
He rushed to his office knowing that he was going to have to stay late; first he did his paperwork which was the easier of the two. Once he finished his paperwork he could always take his homework home and finish it there. He didn't realize how much paperwork he had to do until he found himself an hour later just half way through.
"Stuck with paperwork again…" Sasuke was standing at door of his office with a smirk "…I told you to do it as you go dobe." It was no secret to all that Naruto hated paperwork and usually avoided it for the more physical aspect of the job.
"I know, I know…"
"The doors are closed, lock up when you leave."
"Everyone's gone!?"
"It's almost 11 PM"
Naruto looked at his computer screen in shock; he didn't realize it had been that long 'damn it! It's going to be another late night, Sasuke is right I should not leave this for last minute.' The Omega rolled his eyes and walked away leaving Naruto to face the repercussions of his poor decisions. "See you Monday, dobe" Unlike other gyms Purgatory did not stay open 24 hrs but it did open 7 days a week. The staff on the weekends was lighter and smaller and although the weekends were Naruto's busiest days he doesn't work every weekend.
Once he became head instructor for all specialty classes they wanted him in during the week to fill out paperwork and for staff meetings so he alternates between weekends. Fortunately this weekend he was free 'and damn it I'm going to get laid.' He realized that he was distracting himself so he got to work; he saw Kurama by the door ears perked and alert for a brief moment he wondered what was wrong but the fox didn't say anything so he went back to his work. He made sure to send his Alphas a text that he would be late; Dean had offered to pick him up which he tried to decline but the Alpha insisted which is code for 'expect the Impala outside the gym soon.'
In the street a group of men were casually standing outside the gym, all talking casually but at the same time waiting for something to happen. The street was dead as it was mostly filled with businesses that were already closed. The few people walking around were scared by the group of men "we need to hurry before a Karen calls the cops." His statement made some men laugh while the other nodded in agreement.
It felt like hours but finally they saw the doors of the gym open and their target walked out, the tiny blond closed the doors and pulled the gates, locking everything before looking at his phone. It seemed as if he was waiting for someone "we have to go now before someone comes."
Suddenly Naruto felt that something was off, he had just texted Dean that he was done and was trying to convince him not to come when he felt it. Naruto saw through the side of his vision men in hoodies walking towards him.
He turned discretely and began to walk the other way as if he had not seen them and he heard the hurry steps confirming that they were after him. Naruto picked up his steps running; the men gave up on pretending and rushed after him. It was when he saw a group ahead of him that he realized that this was a much more sophisticated situation, these weren't simple thugs looking to mug someone. Naruto was the target; his second revelation was that he was not getting out of this without a fight.
'Fine, let's do this.'
The blond came to a sudden halt accepting his fate but when one of the men grabbed his shoulder from behind the blond grabbed his wrist and twisted it flipping him over. After the shock this angered one of the men who decided to not go easy on the tiny blond. "Why you little…" He rushed from the front ready to punish the tiny man but the blond used his flat palms to deflate the fist. Then he slammed his hand on the guy's throat and his nose.
Naruto could see that the men were amateurs and that gave him the advantage, he shut the first man up by paralyzing his voice and breaking his nose. One tried to get him from behind again so he kicked him in the chest. It was all a flash of limbs after that, the Beta used his elbow, knee, feet, hands, fist and even head to beat the men down. He used a spinning roundhouse kick to take two out, his hands and feet were definitely going to be bruised tomorrow but he didn't worry about that.
Finally most of them were on the floor or unconscious without getting one hit in "is that a fox?" Naruto was distract and turned just as Kurama disappeared before the man could get near him. Unfortunately his brief distraction was enough for one of the men to finally get a hit in and he made it count. Naruto heard the weapon connect with his head but he was unconscious before he could truly register it. "Finally!" The men that were able to stand got up and in anger kicked the unconscious blond
"Come on let's take him and go before the police come."
They all glared at the unconscious blond for making a fool out them and swore to make him pay "no wonder the Omega bitch wants to teach him a lesson." One of the Alphas in the group exclaimed, he was ashamed that a simple Beta was able to do so much damage.
Two cars stopped in front of them and two of them threw the Beta in the trunk none to gently while the others got inside. They took those unconscious mainly not to leave anything that could be trace back to them. None of them saw an angry tall blond man that looked identical to the short Beta in the trunk watching them.
Dean was in a good mood, he had been for the last few weeks since Naruto had agreed to let them court him. It had been pure bliss between them as they found their own routine; Claire had teased them that they were like an old married couple because sometimes they didn't even have to talk to each to get their message across. It was almost like they had a deeper connection that allowed them to read each other's desires.
Even the relationship between Castiel and him had gotten stronger somehow; he didn't think that was possible. Naruto knew when they were overwhelmed and what they needed to calm down and more often than not he had it ready before they got home. The man took his job as their Guide very serious and despite the fact that Dean was the one who had issues controlling his sense the blond Guide gave them both equal attention.
Dean and Naruto had their movie nights which was just them cuddling on the couch and eating junk food watching Dean's favorites. Castiel and Naruto had their reading nights which was the two cuddled in the Alpha's study while the Guide studied and the Alpha read. While during their movie nights Dean and Naruto talked about the movie –any other topic was forbidden- during the reading night Castiel and Naruto was comfortably quiet.
"It's his way to reset and refocus your senses as Sentinels. Most Sentinels don't really need that but as Primes it would make things easier…I can't believe I never thought of that."
Sam had explained and berated himself when it came up in the last family dinner; the Alphas had been touched by the blonde's actions "It does..?" Everyone had been shocked by the blonde's surprise "You didn't know? Then why did you do it?" Everyone sweat drop when the blond had shrugged his shoulders "Castiel and Dean are so different I want to share something with each of them. Although I'm glad it helps."
Then the Alphas had been back to being touched, that was probably the moment he realized he was in love with the tiny blond or at least the moment he admitted it to himself. After Sam had told him that despite what Naruto said his instincts are strong and their connection is strong enough to guide him to the right course of action.
He decided to cook one of Naruto's favorite besides Ramen, meat and cheesy potatoes with onions and roasted vegetables, tonight was the night that the Alphas were going to ask their mate to officially move in with them. They had been planning it for a while but it wasn't until Claire gave them her blessing "I'll be fine on my own, if not I'll let you know or get a roommate" that they felt good about going through with it. He was so lost in his thoughts and cooking that he missed when Castiel came in, he did feel his presence when he walk into the kitchen.
"Welcome home."
Castiel wrapped his arms around his Alpha mate's waist and kissed his neck "is everything okay? You were really out of it." Dean knew what his mate was asking, the man was wondering if Dean was about to zone. It was common for Sentinels to seem lost in thought when they're about to zone "just thinking of how lucky we got." Castiel smile before turning Dean and giving him a proper greeting. Everything was almost perfect all that was missing was their blond little whirlwind of sunshine.
Castiel went to get out of the suit and take a shower, Hunter was in a corner of the kitchen helping Dean cook or better yet waiting for scraps, the dog knew to stay out of the way. Bee was probably in her cat tree in Castiel's office. The food was almost ready when he got the text from Naruto that he was going to be late, he offered to pick him up but the blond declined. "Where's Naruto?" Castiel came downstairs hair wet in sweat pants and a t-shirt leaving Dean speechless for a few moments. He always loved to see his prim and proper mate in casual clothes it was by far one of his weirdest kink but it really got him going.
"He's running late."
Castiel smirked at his mate when he noticed Dean's problem 'bastard! He knows what he does to me like that and he does it on purpose.' It was true that the blue eyes Alpha knew how much Dean loved him in casual clothes but he couldn't help but tease him. One hour became two and Castiel began to worry "is he still at work?" He asked after he saw his mate on his phone "He's finishing up I told him to let me know and we would pick him up." That made Castiel feel better, it was not that Naruto couldn't defend himself just that he was getting a bad feeling.
"DEAN!"
He was proven right when Dean jumped in the air before turning to whoever had appeared "Damn it! Minato I told you not to do that." Dean reproached his mate's father "Minato is here? Why?" Castiel's tone confused Dean since his Alpha mate was never bothered by Dean's visitors especially not their other mate's father. "Naruto's in trouble! You have to help him!" Dean was suddenly alert at the man's words and panic in his voice "what do you mean trouble? Where is he?" Dean had never been so happy for his gift than in that moment.
Castiel had already grabbed the keys to the Impala and was walking towards the door, "he can explain on our way there" Dean turned off the stove and oven leaving everything as is. Hunter could feel that something was wrong and followed Dean, the Alpha was so distracted that he didn't realized the dog followed them out until they were on the elevator "we'll take him with us we can't waste time going back." Castiel instructed as he petted the dog to reassure him that he wasn't in trouble.
By the time they walked out the elevator both Alphas were pissed as Minato told them what had happened. Someone was trying to kidnap their mate and was possibly hurting him, Castiel felt guilty as he thought it was probably someone from his dark side that found out about the blonde's connection to him. Dean drove like a street racer running from the cops. Luckily Castiel had enough sense to strap Hunter in or the poor dog would be flying around the car. Castiel was impress that his mate was able to avoid the police and also that he cut a 20 minutes commute down to 10 minutes.
When they arrive to the front of the gym unfortunately there was no one there and the gym was closed, both Alphas could feel the rage slowly overpower them. It was Hunter's alert bark that pulled them back, the dog was off to side a few steps away from the gym. The pit-bull had found something and was trying to get their attention. It was splatters of blood all over the side walk as well as a familiar cellphone in the gutter. Castiel cursed because he knew they wouldn't be able to track the blond; he immediately got on his phone not wanting to waste any time.
"Pam I need you to send a team to Purgatory. Naruto's been taken and I want the motherfuckers behind this at my feet NOW!"
While Castiel was giving orders and putting the fear of god –literally- into everyone Dean called his brother "Dean, what the hell! You know what time it is?" Sam answered his voice clearly hoarse with sleep, he could hear Gabriel complaining in the background "Sammy someone took Naruto and I'm about to lose it." The line was silent but he could hear Sam moving around "What do you mean took? Someone kidnapped Naruto!?" the sleep was gone from his voice but Dean could also hear the exclamation from Jess and Gabriel in the background.
"Dean take a deep breath, Jess is calling the pilot right now and we're on our way…"
"…"
"…Gabriel is talking to Castiel now and getting details, we're on our way."
The only thing keeping Dean together was surprisingly Minato and Hunter, the latter stuck to him and lick his palm while Castiel's team came in and started taking samples. The former told him how Naruto kicked serious ass "most of that blood is not his" the man said proudly something which Dean conveyed to Castiel who also smirked with pride.
He doesn't know why he called Sam but the thought of his Guide in danger made his Sentinel want to rampage, a rampaging Sentinel was dangerous but a rampaging Prime was catastrophic and Dean's conscience panicked making him call Sam for help keeping himself grounded.
In the next few minutes the place was flood with a team of Castiel's people as well as Pam, they were taking samples and checking the scene like officers investigating a murder. 'He is not dead!' Dean had to repeat in his head just to keep himself from losing it, Hunter had been by his side licking Dean and whining whenever the Alpha got to lost. Dean had seen Angus once and the wolf looked like something out of hell, it looked more like a hellhound than a wolf. It was a manifestation of Dean's inner turmoil and what waits inside him if Dean loses control.
'Please Naruto hold on; we're going to find you.'
"So this is the man that the Omega wanted taken care of…a simple Beta"
"Careful boss, that Beta took down more than half my men. The bitch didn't warn us…"
Orochimaru for the first time since he arrived at the warehouse took in the group of thugs; they were all battered and bruised at least the ones standing. Some of them couldn't even stand on their feet while others were unconscious. 'It seems the Beta is stronger than I thought…interesting'
He turned back to the blond of the floor bleeding from his head but hardly a bruise on him "lock him up in the back room, do you think you can handle that or do you need back up?" The man glared picking up the blond roughly but instead practically dragging him to the room in the back.
He was already planning his revenge once the blond woke up; he was going to make the Beta suffer for humiliating him. He threw Naruto in a room with just a mattress but he threw him in the floor hoping that the Beta would feel the when he woke up. He also kicked the blond for good measure before locking the room and leaving him in the dark.
Naruto woke up disorientated; all he knew was the he was sitting in a chair that he was tied to. The restrains reminded him of what happened, he had been attacked by a group of men and hit in the head when he let his guard down. "Well, looks like our guest of honor finally decided to join us." Naruto looked up as a snake like man walked into the light. "What do you want with me?" He never met the man which made Naruto think that the kidnapping wasn't about him.
"Me, I want nothing but you my dear have seriously pissed some people off and turns out I was chosen as punisher."
"Wha…I haven't done anything to anyone!"
"You see your problem is that you forgot your place, Beta."
The snake like man practically hiss, the sick satisfaction in his eyes made Naruto uncomfortable but he didn't let it show. "You also humiliated my men which their not too happy about but I'll let them express their displeasure." Suddenly a circle of men stepped into the light, men covered in bruises and scars made by Naruto. They all smirked and he could see the anger and hate in their eyes. He just knew that he was in for a lot of pain so Naruto took a deep breath and like he was learned in Konoha, he took his mind to another place where the pain would be a distant feeling.
Castiel was gone, in his place stood God and he wanted blood even in his state Dean could see that his otherwise in control mate was close to losing it. The other Prime was focusing his energy on others to keep himself in control but he already punched a man for being too slow and he kicked one that was wasting time. Dean had rarely seen his mate in that state mainly because he kept himself away from Castiel's other business.
"What did you say?"
A man tremble at Castiel's tone, everyone knew that the boss was on edge. No one wanted to go near him but he had to deliver the news "We…um…we haven't…found…" The man didn't get to finish before Castiel's hand wrapped around his neck and squeezed. The man scratched desperately at Castiel's hand "ple..pleas…" but the electric blue eyes were unwavering in their anger until the man lost consciousness or possibly died, Dean wasn't sure.
"Get him out of my sight; I want good news or someone to kill."
His men rushed to drag the man out, Dean could see the terror in their eyes and any other time this side of Castiel would've turned him on but with Naruto missing all his attention was on not losing control. "Pamela, I don't want incompetence, I want results." Castiel told his assistant firmly, there was a dark promise in his tone "yes, boss. Hannah is looking into a few leads…" As the Beta tried to calm the Prime down, the doors opened.
Gabriel matched in with his mates following after him; the Omega was for the first time serious and terrifying. Despite his often happy exterior Gabriel like Castiel had the Angels temper that made them terrifying to all who crossed them. Sam made a beeline for Dean who was seating in the couch with Hunter on his lap. They were in the warehouse where Castiel had business meetings for the dark side of the family business.
He wondered how Gabriel knew where they were until he realized that Sam was talking to him "…an…Dean! Can you hear me?" The Guide sounded calm but Dean could smell a slight hint of panic. Dean made his eyes focus on his brother as he felt himself calm down; he knew that it was his brother's doing. "I'll take Hunter for a walk" Jess offered but Dean whimpered at the thought of losing the dog. Hunter was covered in Naruto's scent as the blond was constantly with the dog, he had become Dean's clutch and he doesn't want to let go.
Sam shook his head at her, he realized that Hunter was Dean's anchor and if they took it away he worried that his brother would really lose it. Sam focused on his brother letting Gabriel deal with helping Castiel and keeping him from murdering too many people. While Jess took care of all four of them making sure that they didn't get too lost in their own task. She also kept the rest of the family informed making sure to keep the mafia stuff out of it for the ones that didn't know.
With Castiel's pressure and all the blood Naruto left behind they got their big break the next day as the blood work came in "I want every single one of them collected and brought here, now!" It turned out that the men who took Naruto were simple thugs; Hannah had talked to their contacts in the city trying to see who pulled the strings. Gabriel was the one to suspect that someone closed to Naruto must have given them the Beta's information.
Charlie had taken over most major issues in the Winchester company as Dean and Sam were both busy, Jessica and Gabriel shared that responsibility in the Angels side although it was harder for them to juggle everything. Tenten was a huge help as the executive assistant, she helped them manage everything. In the meantime Castiel was downstairs torturing the people brought in although he ended up killing them before they could talk.
"Boss, it was Orochimaru's gang"
Hannah had been the one to figure it out, walking in just as Castiel was ripping some one's nails, "why isn't he here then?" Castiel asked accusingly "He disappeared; the people said he got a new job and was taking care of it." Just as Castiel was about to lose his temper at the half good and half bad news Gabriel walked in "let me go! Please I haven't done anything!" and he was dragging a familiar pink haired Omega.
"I suspected someone who knew Naruto must be involved so I asked around to see who had a grudge against your blond."
The older Omega threw the screaming girl on the floor at Castiel's feet "it was easy to find since she was the only person with something against the blond…that was still alive." Gabriel smirked at the girl whimper at Castiel's imposing figure "and what makes you think she would even dare." Sakura's eyes widen at the dangerous tone and then she saw the Alpha strap down behind Castiel with nail-less figures bleeding like they were sloppily painted with red nail polish.
"The fact that she claimed she didn't know where Naruto was…"
"…" Castiel raised his eyebrow both ignored the stench of urine coming from either the Omega on the floor or the Alpha in the chair.
"…Before I could even tell her he was missing. Last I knew the public was not aware of the blonde's disappearance."
Castiel turned to the cowering girl at his feet "I swear I had nothing to do with it. Please, why would I want to hurt him? Naruto is my best friend, I got him a job!" Castiel gesture to his men, they pulled the unconscious Alpha off the chair and placed Sakura there.
"Get me my tools." No one so much as flinched, they all preferred for Castiel's anger to be directed at someone else instead of them. "Please…please…" Castiel slapped the woman harshly making her lip bleed "I rather you not talk of your own free will, I prefer making you talk."
It's been two days since Naruto went missing in the office Dean could hear the screams; he had been hearing screams all day but nothing about where Naruto was so he didn't care. He could hear his brother talking with their little brother "what do you mean you're busy!? Our brother needs you!" The youngest Winchester was always selfish so that didn't surprise Dean. "I'm about to take a flight to Milan for work." That was strange Dean made sure to memorize his siblings schedule, so he knew that Adam had no jobs in Milan new or old.
"Adam can't that wait!?"
"Why should I placed my life on halt for Dean's little Beta boy toy"
"Adam!"
"What!? We all know that Dean is just passing the time, no Beta could ever mate with an Alpha."
There was something in Adam's voice that Dean didn't like, a certain smugness as if he had won some battle. "I don't think Adam likes me very much." He remembered Naruto telling him one night, he had waved the Beta's worries away "Nah, it just takes him a while to warm up to people. We all grew up around people who only wanted to use us for our money, so we all became kind of jaded; I mean you saw Sam…" But hearing his youngest brother speak made Dean realized that there was much more.
"What's your issue with Naruto?"
Dean didn't realize he spoke up until Sam turned to him in surprise but Adam heard him "He doesn't know his place." It sounded like an echo and Dean realized that in that moment Sakura had said the same words, Sam seemed to put the pieces together "Adam you didn't..?" When Dean reached the same conclusion he snatched the phone from Sam's hand "Adam what did you do?" Dean's tone was harsh
"Dean what are you talking..?"
"WHAT DID YOU DO!?"
"Nothing!"
"I am sending someone to pick you up and god help you if you're not there Adam."
Dean hung up almost crushing Sam's phone in his hand, he tried not to believe that his own brother had anything to do with Naruto's disappearance "send someone to pick him up and take him to the house." Dean told Sam before calling Hunter over "Dean you don't honestly think he had anything to do with this? I mean what reason could he possibly have?" The two brothers knew that Adam could be a spoiled brat thanks to their mother and that he could be spiteful when jealous but they thought that he had some morals.
"I don't know but I'm going to find out."
Downstairs a bruised Sakura had passed out after a couple of slaps getting an angry eye roll from Castiel "I wasn't even hitting her hard." The Alpha was frustrated that he wasn't getting anything from the Omega mainly because she kept passing out and when she talked all she did was beg. Dean came in not even blinking at the bruised unconscious Omega "anything?" he asked his mate "she's finally showing her true colors."
"I think I found another culprit."
Castiel turned his head so fast Dean was worried he would get whiplash, Dean didn't say anything else he just walked away knowing Castiel would follow. The whole drive Dean though about how he was going to deal with Adam or how to stop Castiel from killing him. 'If he is involved in this, I might kill him myself.' Sam had insisted on going with them but Dean was sure it was more to protect Adam from them than to support him.
"Do you know who my family is!? I can make your life hell."
The heard the Omega exclaimed loudly from inside the penthouse, it was a good thing that Claire had taken Bee to the townhouse. "No you can't because your power comes from me" Dean walked in glaring at his brother "Dean! These brutes assaulted me." No one had a chance to respond as Castiel grabbed Adam's arm and dragged him, forcing him back on the couch. The Prime just stared at the youngest Winchester making him uncomfortable "If something happens to him not even being Dean's brother will safe you."
"Cas, we're not sure if Adam had anything to do with this."
Sam intervened trying to protect his little brother, he expected Dean to speak up too since family was so important to his big brother but Sam was surprised when he didn't hear anything. "Don't worry Adam, we have Sakura and she's starting to talk so you don't have to say anything." Dean said his voice blank yet with a hint of anger, Sam saw as Adam's eyes widen and he knew that their brother had something to do with Naruto's kidnapping.
"Oh Adam, what did you do?" The tallest Winchester's voice was filled with shame and disappointment.
"Me!? I didn't do anything…"
"…"
"…I might have over heard a conversation between Jo and some girl name Saru-something."
"Did you now? What did they speak about?" It was clear in his tone the Castiel didn't believe him, Winchesters weren't pacifist, they were assertive if something was going down they were usually the leader planning it.
"They said something about hiring some thugs to teach Naruto a lesson…"
"What!? Adam!"
"…I didn't think they would actually go through with it!"
Castiel got up and began talking on his phone while Sam and Dean dealt with their brother who was clearly more involved with the plot than he claimed. Castiel found out that unfortunately Jo had been smart and was in Lawrence to 'visit' her parents. From the corner of his eyes he saw a blur of red "Dean!" his Alpha mate rushed over "what is it?" Castiel just pointed to the red fox in the corner whose fur was darker and wet from the blood it was covered in.
"Kurama!"
Castiel had wanted to meet the spirit animal but not that way, the fox looked like it had been in a fight with a bear. Dean rushed to the fox but it disappeared before he could get too close "dammit! Adam!" His control had snapped and his eyes glowed bright gold as he stalked to his little brother whose eyes were Omega orchid, to everyone's shock the Alpha grabbed the Omega by his neck and lifted him up "where is he!?" Sam tried to calm Dean but it was harder since Dean didn't recognized Sam as his Guide and his mate was in danger.
"I don't know…Dean…please…"
"Dean I got him, they found Orochimaru's warehouse in the Bronx."
"Good let's go, I will deal with you later." Dean threated a coughing Adam in the floor as he followed Castiel.
Sam held Hunter back from following the Alphas knowing that this time it would be too dangerous for the dog. He turned to a shaking and scared Adam on the couch who was on the phone no doubt calling their mother for support; it was the Omega's go-to move after all.
Naruto wasn't sure how long he was dangling by the chains as the pain 'or main it was the head injury' had made him delirious. One thing was clear, he needed to get out as he could hear the men that held him panicking "WHAT DO YOU MEAN GOD IS LOOKING FOR HIM!?" He had no idea who God was -although he was sure it wasn't the dude in the sky that Christians talked about- but he knew that these men were terrified of him. Somehow he had a feeling that it had to do with one of his Alphas.
None of it mattered to Naruto all he knew was that with a new and more dangerous threat the men were going to be looking to tie up loose ends and Naruto was the loosest end they had. He used his legs ignoring the pain in the broken one to swing back and forth (AN: Stole this escape from Danno in the final episode of Hawaii Five-o, though it was badass plus they're both tiny badass blondes, its perfect!) He grabbed the chain with his hand and began to pull himself up to the pipe holding it together, hoping he could reach it before he passed out from pain again.
Once he did, he wrapped his good leg on the pipe and worked on disconnecting the chain but he saw it was welded on so he decided to go with plan B and broke his thumbs and using his blood to slide his hands out. Finally he got out and used the chains as ropes to climb down, he got behind the door and when someone came in he wrapped his arms around them and choked them out.
He dragged himself out of the room and tried to find an exit trying to avoid the other guards since he was in no state to fight them.
Castiel had arrived to the warehouse with his own army and Dean "remember it's all about stealth until Naruto is out, once he is then all bets are off." There was a bloodthirst glint in his eyes that the smiles on his people's faces matched perfectly, again if he weren't so worry about Naruto Dean would've been so turned on.
Suddenly there was an increase in activity in the warehouse "Sir, something's happening. Everyone seems to be agitated and frantic." A voice came through their ear piece no doubt one of Castiel's snipers "do they know we're here?" Castiel demanded his voice cold and hard but Dean could detect the slight panic "It doesn't seem that way, it looks like something happened within." The two Alphas knew that they couldn't wait especially since someone inside had a blocker keep Sentinels from listening in.
"We move in now, Dean…"
"You're not stopping me from going in."
The green eyes Alpha declared suspecting that his mate was going to tell him to stay outside, Castiel rolled his eyes "you're with me; we will take the east side." They all moved at the Alpha's command. The east side turned out to be an alley; they were against the walls avoiding the windows when a side door opened. Everyone drew their guns ready to shoot but Dean saw Minato shaking his head "Stop! Lower you weapons…" The men started at Dean in confusion since the Alpha wasn't their boss.
"Lower them now!"
With a nodded from Castiel they finally lowered their weapons just in time as a dirty blood covered Naruto stumble out. The three stared at each other in silence for what felt like hours, the Alphas not being able to process that it was that easy and Naruto not processing that the Alphas were there. Noise from inside made them snap out of their shock as Naruto panicked trying to walk quickly away from the door but not getting far.
As he stumbled both his Alphas caught him, one with an arm wrapped around his waist and the other with a hand on his shoulder. Suddenly for a brief moment they felt their inner Alpha and Sentinel rejoice at having the blond back before they realized that he was pretty badly hurt. Naruto looked at the two Alphas in reverence and surprise yet so much love and appreciation "you came!?" He exclaimed before passing out with a smile on his face, Castiel was pissed at what was done to his mate.
"Kill them! All of them and make it as painful as possible."
He ordered with a vicious glint in his electric blue eyes as he was pulling his phone to have Pam send one of their ambulance, he heard the sirens growing near. He will reward the woman for her quick thinking later "Dean, come on we have to take him to the hospital." Dean picked Naruto up and the two Alphas walked back to the streets ignoring the screams and gun shot in the warehouse.
On the curve there was an ambulance ready and Dean placed Naruto on the stretcher reluctant to put him down but knowing that the blond needed help. They got inside with the paramedic watching as he tried to stabilize the Beta "He is pretty bad…" The Omega paramedic exclaimed before urging his partner to hurry up. "That leg is definitely broken, possibly broken ribs, a concussion…" The paramedic whispered to himself as he continued to treat the blond, both Alphas were on edge the whole ride.
Once they arrived at the hospital Naruto was wheeled into the ER as doctors and nurses began to treat him. His two Alphas a constant presence while still trying to stay out of the way until a nurse tried to kick them out and they almost raised hell but suddenly felt a calming energy. "Cas, Dean how about you let the professionals do their job, they would take good care of your mate." They both turned to see Sam calmly walking towards them.
At the tall Alpha's words the nurse stepped back everyone knew how Alphas Sentinels were when their mates and Guides were hurt. No one wanted to risk the Alphas Sentinels losing control even worse with their status as Primes. Sam was able to pull the two Alphas to the side and keep them away. Just as he was about to lost them Gabriel and Jess came in and he breathed a sigh of relief letting his Omega take over, two Primes was too much even for him.
'I still don't know how Naruto does it.'
"I call Lucifer and kept him up to date, Pam and Hannah are taking care of everything. I talked to Crowley, he's taking care of any legal issues that this might cause Angel Inc. although he thinks it shouldn't be a problem. He is also spreading the word that Naruto is off limits although you'll still have to send a message."
The Omega whispered the last part into his brother's ear, he knew that the Alpha was more in control when he had something to do or focus on. "And the bubble gum?" The Alpha asked his voice deeper than usual "waiting for you, no one would dare touch it." Castiel nodded getting a glare in his eyes as he thought of Sakura and finally getting the pleasure of killing her. "Claire is at home with Hunter and Bee, I promised to keep her updated." Sam decided to take a page out of Gabriel's book and distract Dean
"And Adam?"
There was anger in his voice at the mention of his youngest brother "he called mom and told her we were holding him against his will, so you know she threw a fit and demand we send him home…" Dean rolled his eyes at his mother's favoritism and enabling the Omega but Sam smirked "…So I put him on a plane to Lawrence, in economy class." Then turned in surprise seeing the devious look in the man's eyes "I bet he hated that" Sam laughed and Dean smiled for the first time "oh he did but I didn't give him a choice."
They enjoyed their spoiled and self-centered youngest brother's misery when one of the doctors that was treating Naruto came over "How is he!?" Dean exclaimed before the man could even open his mouth "It's pretty bad, our main worry it the broken leg and head injury. Fortunately he doesn't have bleeding in the brain but he does have a crack skull which we have to monitor. He is being prep for surgery on the leg." Castiel and Dean felt as if their world was collapsing only the combine efforts of Sam and Gabriel kept them together.
"But he will recover, right?" Jess asked trying to get the two Alphas some positive news.
"Head injuries are trick but he can get through that, he will need physical therapy for a while but he should recover. The patient is young and based all his injuries quite the fighter so I'm cautiously optimistic."
After that everything was a blur to Dean and Castiel, a blur of people and activity, a blur of words and comforting touches. They didn't even noticed when they were moved to a private waiting room on a higher floor. At one point Claire had come over and hugged them, Charlie had also come over with a comforting smile, Missouri had rushed in and hugged them with tears in her eyes. The two Alphas searched for Naruto's heartbeat in the hospital and focused on that almost zoning a couple of times.
Lucifer and Kelly had come in, the scent of family pulling Castiel back from the edge. Benny also made an appearance although the Alphas were too lost to be shocked or jealous. Gabriel and Sam were the only constant presences in the room; the two Guides were forced out by their mate and staff to take a break leaving the Primes with family to hold them together. The presence of their family and friends was the only thing keeping Dean and Castiel from completely losing it, even Castiel's great control was no match with Naruto hurt.
"Surgery was a success…leg…had to…pins…will need physical therapy…worry…head injury…possible coma…" They could hear bits and pieces of what the doctor said when he came in after Naruto's surgery.
"How long…what else..?..." They also heard the worry in their family's voices.
"Broken ribs…punctured lung…fractured wrist…dislocated thumbs…bruises…he's a fighter…" At that the Alphas could agree with the doctor, their mate was definitely a fighter and they were so proud.
Finally with the combined Guide powers of Meg, Sam and Gabriel as well as Lucifer and Claire's familial presence were able to pull Castiel out of his partial zone. The Alpha had then helped them with Dean which was made easier by the fact that Naruto while not awake yet was stable and moved to his own private room.
Obviously the first thing they did was go see their blond who was covered in bruises and scars; he had a bandage wrapped around his head like a headband with a hairnet. He had a brace on one of his wrist and a small metal brace on the thumbs of both hands, the worst by far was his leg which was bandaged but had some metal wires going in it and a metal cage around it. "It's an external fixator; it is to help keep the bones in place. It will be removed once the fracture is healed." A nurse who had been monitoring Naruto's vitals explained possibly seeing the confusion in their eyes.
"So he will heal?" Dean asked speaking for the first time in what he later found out was three days since they brought Naruto in.
"From the leg? The operation was successful so there is no reason why with physical therapy he shouldn't be able to heal."
"What about the head injury?" Castiel almost demanded his voice hoarser than usual from the lack of use.
"That one is a little harder to predict as head injuries are different for everybody but his vitals are good so we're hopeful." To her credit the nurse wasn't intimidated by the big Primes "I have to continue my rounds, let me know if you need anything." She walked out giving the two Alphas privacy with their mate.
"He looks so small…well smaller than usual."
"Don't let him hear you say that…he'd be furious."
"I'm not small you're just freakishly giant!" They spoke at the same time remembering the blonde's argument whenever Dean called him tiny, the thought made them laugh even if only for a brief moment.
They sat down next to the blond each making sure to touch some part of the him; they both knew that Naruto would be okay because their mate was a fighter. Although a part of them was scared that something was wrong with their mate who was not waking up.
Dean could feel his mind try to go to the dark place filled with worse case scenarios but if he let himself go there it would drive him crazy. Castiel knew that there were a lot of things that needed their attention and as much as he wanted to stay by Naruto's side until the Beta woke up he knew it wasn't fair to their friends and family who had been picking up their slack.
"Dean we have to check in with work."
"You want to leave him? Are you crazy? He needs us!"
"No he doesn't, he has the best medical care possible we know nothing of medicine. Also it's not fair to Sam and Gabriel and Jess and Charlie who had been picking up our slack. We can't afford to get lost and stop because our world never stops, he wouldn't want us to…"
"…"
"…The best we can do is take care of everything so that when he wakes up everything is perfect and back to normal."
Dean knew that Castiel was right but he didn't want to admit it because the truth was that he needed to be near Naruto more than the Beta needed him. It was weak and selfish but being close to the blond kept the dark thoughts away. That's why it took Dean longer to leave Naruto's side, in fact he worked from the blonde's private room until he was force to leave for a board meeting which unfortunately his parents would be attending.
'At least it was via skype…thank god for small mercies.'
The first thing Castiel did while out was take care of the pink hair snake, he walked up to where the girl was kept prisoner and put a bullet in her head not really up to prolonging the game, he was satisfied by the fact that the wait made for great psychological torture. After she was gone and disposed of, he made sure that the whole underworld knew that Naruto was of limits by destroying Orochimaru's gang and killing the mother fucker.
After that he clean up and headed into the office for Angels Int. to see what he had missed and had a stack of papers waiting for him. He could see the relief in Gabriel and Jess' eyes when he relieved them; he knew it wasn't easy for them to take care of their own duties on top of his. The media was a circus, it seems like the country felt their zone. It was even worse when it got out that they were in the hospital because someone was hurt, everyone was speculating.
"Send out a statement that it was our mate that was hurt but that he is recovering and his privacy would be respected or else."
Castiel left it for the PR department to rephrase that as they saw fit, he didn't care as long as the message got across.
On the other hand Dean was getting a headache from the board meeting as everyone demanded answers "ENOUGH!" He used his Alpha voice to get everyone to shut up "I don't owe you anything about my personal life. In the case of the company there was no mayor lost and anything that was lost is being quickly recovered. So really I don't see the point of this meeting." He knew that if anyone would defy him it would be his mother who glared at him like she always did when he out ranked her.
"Dean, you lost control! It's all over the news and it looks bad on the company. You owe us an explanation."
"I don't owe you anything! If you want to vote me out and take my place be my guess but until you get the balls to do it, stay back and let me do my job."
The voice was all Prime and no one but another Prime could challenge it not even a strong Alpha like Mary Winchester. John was the one to dismiss the meeting expect for family "boy have you lost it?" Bobby asked although there was no real heat to his words "not that I can remember." Dean couldn't help but be a smartass "Dean, Adam came to us in tears that you attacked him…" John tried to pacify the situation.
"He's lucky that I didn't kill him"
"Dean!"
"I would've been in my right, the little bastard hired someone to kidnapped and torture our mate! HE'S IN A COMA NOW BECAUSE OF HIM! So be thankful I didn't kill him."
No one could say anything, if Adam truly did what Dean says he did than the young Omega deserves death. To kill or hurt an Alphas mate was a crime but to do that to a Prime was even worse since for Primes mates were essential to their survival.
"You found your mate?" John sounded hopeful and that tone as well as the love in his father's eyes calmed Dean down. "Yea" he smiled at his father "that's a lie! Adam would never do such a thing!" of course their mother defended the Omega.
"It's true mom, I was there when he admitted it."
Sam tried to added but it didn't really work since his mom was blind to Adam's faults "he only heard them talking." In that moment Dean wasn't surprised that his mother knew "plus the so called mate is a Beta." If she was in the room Dean would've ripped her tongue out "Mary!" John exclaimed and based on the look in his eyes, they knew that their mother was in trouble. "Any way Adam wasn't the only one…" Before Dean could continue he could see the shame in Ellen's eyes.
"Dean, I'm so sorry. I had no idea her infatuation was so deep, we thought she would grow out of it but didn't try hard enough to stop it.
"If she comes anywhere near us I will kill her, the only thing that saved her was my love for you. That won't stop me a second time, is that clear."
Ellen nodded her head meekly, she explained that Jo was being punished severely "she had been far too spoiled and forgotten the values we install in her." On the other hand Dean ended up in argument with his parents over what to do with Adam. He suggested sending him to reform school "you can't do that!" The Omega mention ran in the room no doubt listening to their conversation, he sat in Mary's lap "please mommy, don't let them take me." They all rolled their eyes as the brat manipulated their mother.
"Dean he's just a young Omega, there is no need for such extremes."
Adam smirked knowing he had won and gotten away with things like he expected although he would probably get a telling off from his father. "Well if you want to deal with him that's your problem not mine. I'm cutting him off anything that has to do with Winchester Group, since he doesn't do anything to merit any money from the company if you want to give him from yours that's your choice…" His declaration shocked everyone even Sam "…oh and Adam good luck getting any work or friends after pissing of the man that runs the fashion world."
Dean cut off the call at Adam's looked of terror and realization that he had not gotten away with his plot like he thought. After that he ignored the calls from his mother, the woman had no real power in the company so they both knew that Dean was within his rights to do that and more since Adam's stipend was due to his relation to the Winchester name not based on his own work.
"Are you sure about this Dean? Mom is not going to let it go…" Dean glared at Sam "am I sure about leaving him alive? no, am I sure about cutting him off? absolutely." After that Adam's name became taboo and Dean refused to take his mother's call although he did speak to his father after he stopped trying to make him talk to his mom.
Inner Evil: There it is part one of the final chapters; I did promise shit would hit the fan so there you have it. I couldn't make Naruto a full damsel in distress because that's just not him and its not fair to his personality. Also keep in mind I have no medical knowledge besides the basic but I did research a lot for this part so what I wrote about Naruto's condition, treatment and healing later is based on what I research so anyone who does have a background in medicine…don't hate me.
Next chapter: no spoilers
