Ch. 4 Save Me

Naruto gave a low growl as he slumped into his seat. Everything in school had gone back to normal. And about the little 'kiss' sequence that happened a couple weeks ago, Naruto simply just told his friend's that Sasuke was trying to whisper a secret to him, but Naruto didn't want to hear it. That's why it seemed like they were about to kiss. Most people by now shrugged it off.

"Why isn't that Sasuke hottie in this school, Naruto?" Ino asked curiously.

"Yeah. Was he your cousin visiting for something?" Sakura leaned towards the blonde, all ears.

"Cousin. Yeah, sure." he replied lazily.

He shrugged his thoughts off cooly. Pssh. Sasuke? His cousin? They act nothing alike. Which is no excuse because everyone as different personalities, but still. The blonde hadn't been himself lately since he threw the bastard out, though. Maybe he was being too harsh?

No! Don't feel pity for him! That fucking teme deserved it! He almost killed him!

Naruto's eyes narrowed.

But...

The way Sasuke looked at him. That expression of concern and depression for the blonde looked so real. And when the demon prince held him... he felt safe. He had butterflies fluttering inside his stomach. He felt tickled pink.

Tickled pink? Maybe that was going a bit too far...

"Is Sasuke-kun here?!" Naruto turned his attention towards the class door, where two panting girls that apparently ran to school all the way from their house. The blonde also noticed that the girls were wearing more make-up than usual. He sighed as he put a hand through his blonde locks. Sakura and Ino had been at it ever since the demon boy made his apperance. Everyday they would dress up, hoping that Sasuke would fall for one of them. Naruto gave a small snicker.

When Sakura looked around the room and didn't spot the gorgeous man, she placed her hands on her hips lightly, pointing a finger at Naruto.

"Hey, Naruto! I thought you said you talked to Sasuke-kun about coming to school here!"

Ino shook her friend's shoulder lightly.

"Maybe he's in a different class?"

Naruto snorted.

Sakura and Ino giggled as they went out the classroom to go find their prince charming.

The blonde lied his head against his desk and closed his ocean blue eyes. he didn't like lying to his friends, but Sakura and Ino threatened to do the following catagories if the blonde didn't convence the raven head to come:

1. Get beaten to a bloody pulp.

2. Get beaten to a bloody pulp some more.

3. 'Accidently' get locked in a closet with Gaara and Neji and watch them play chess and be bored to death.

The whiskered boy shuddered at the last thought. Chess... that evil game. It wasn't that he hated it or anything. It was just complicated to understand how to play. And Gaara and Hyuuga are very competitive. They could go for weeks playing that game. The blonde would've gone insane. It may not sound scary, but it's never happened to you.

Naruto lifted his head up to glance at the clock.

8:49 a.m.

Today was going to be a looooong day.

-----

"Aww, mommy, look! It's a kitty!"

Vein throbs.

"Mommy! Mommy! Can we keep it?!"

More veins throb.

"No, sweety. It might have some disease or something. Don't touch it, it might be contagious."

Even more veins throb.

"Awwww..."

Sasuke glared harshly at the child and adult that walked away. How dare that child treat a great prince like himself as a pet! And that woman... Well, she's the one that's not a virgin he'll have you know! Diseases and shit...

This hadn't been what the cat demon expected. No, it certainly wasn't. He thought the blonde would've felt guilty for throwing him out and come back crying and begging him for forgivness. But no. He saw the blonde heading to school a couple hours ago. Dumb kid. Who the hell does he think he is?! Leaving a royal demon like himself as a stray. It should be the other way around.

He gave a small snort as he made himself comfortable on the sidewalk. He would wait for the blonde. Yes. He would wait. Then steal his powers again. He had a master plan where the Kyuubi couldn't help the blonde.

He heard a small chuckle beside him and he narrowed his eyes slightly. He wondered if he was going insane.

"I saw the comotion between you and that blonde earlier."

Yup. He was gong insane. He could've sworn he saw this old cat appeared randomly beside him. And what's weirder, it could talk! Sasuke shook his head violently and looked over beside him again. The cat was still there.

Oh hell no.

"Ack!" he shrieked as he felt stupidity upon himself. Which was rare. Sexy demons aren't usually stupid. Let's just say Sasuke's one of a kind.

The old cat gave a small chuckle as he looked straight foward, staring at the road. Sasuke quirked a brow and looked at the direction his companion was looking at, but didn't see anything interesting. He rolled his eyes.

"I saw the comotion between you and that human earlier," the cat repeated.

Sasuke gave a slight snort, "So?"

"So," the cat copied.

Sasuke gave a slight shudder when he saw the elder licking himself, "Distgusting," he spat, slightly disgusted.

the old feline cocked its head towards the prince and gave a small grin, "Scared, are you?"

The younger cat glared daggers, slightly pissed and confused by the question.

"Excuse me?"

"You act scared towards that blonde human. I saw it in the window." he stated.

Sasuke lowered his brows, his eyes narrowing again. Why the hell did this old feline stare into the idiot's window?

Scared...

"You're starting to like him. And it's terrifying you."

He's right...

"That's why you tried killing him. You didn't want him to make you weak."

He's right...

"And if you're weak, you wouldn't reach a certain goal that you're trying to accomplish. Am I correct?"

He's fucking right...

"No," the demon lied.

The elder feline shrugged.

"See it any way you want, but I think I'm right. Cats usually aren't wrong when trying to read people's thoughts. Demons, too." he smirked.

Sasuke gasped.

He knew?

"Wait! Then-" the prince didn't get to finish. For when he turned towards his companion, the other cat was gone.

-----

A light giggle excaped perfect lips as the figure transformed from the elder cat to its demon self again. A man with black hair was leaning cooly towards the darkness in an alley way, smirking all the while.

"How'd it go?" the man asked calmly.

The person flicked long blonde bangs away from their face as they gave their commander the thumbs up, "All taken care of, 'Tachi-kun! He totally is freaking, I swear. I wish I didn't have to take the form of a crusty old cat, though, un." they confessed.

The person known as Itachi narrowed his eyes annoyingly at the others poutiness before glancing towards the ground.

"If you did, it would've given too much of a hint."

The blonde gave a small pout before nodding.

"Guess you're right, un. But hey! On the way I fount a bakery shop, sweety! And you know what they had? CAKE! Let's go get some before we take Sasuke and that brat down, un!"

Itachi felt his eye twitch.

"Cake?" he let out a long sigh, "Deidara..."

Deidara stomped his foot against the dirt, "C'mon, Itachi! At least to celebrate. Hell, I am going to be your future bride, y'now, un!"

"Only because you want the luxury life and be lazy."

Deidara pouted some more.

"That's a nasty way to put it, un? But I'm not ganna lie, un," he grinned sheepishly, which then turned into a slight frown, "but it does makes me jealous that you're ganna suck the kid's powers outta him, un. Ooh, my 'Tachi is ganna manhandle someone else besides me, un."

Itachi gave a small smirk, "All I really want to see is my little brother's expression when I tell him that I killed the most important person to him."

Deidara gave a large smirk.

"Yeah. His father, un."

-----

The blonde gave a long sigh as he walked down busy street after busy street. He had tons of homework for skipping quite a lot to look after Sasuke, and now he had to do it all, otherwise the possibilities are he could flunk.

He reached his door and slowly unlocked it, giving a quick glance from side to side to see if the demon was present or near. When he didn't see any signs of him, he gave a small frown and walked inside; kicking his shoes off and walking towards the kitchen. When he opened the refrigerator and didn't see anything that interest him, he slammed it shut. He felt himself becoming angry. But why? He had nothing to be angry about, right?

He scratched his head lazily and slumped himself on the couch, reaching for the remote and flipping through random channels.

"It's proven that cats are highly addicted to Meow Mix-"

Flip.

"Cats makes great pets. You can cuddle to them at night to keep you warm-"

Flip.

"And it is here that the lion, which is part of the feline family, is attracting their mate-"

Flip.

"People think cats can't get constipated, but ohohoho they are WRONG!"

Naruto growled and flipped the TV off. Was God trying to send him a message or what? Should he go outside and try calling Sasuke back? He wouldn't be too far, right?

His blood froze.

What if someone took Sasuke in and they take the Rosary off? That could lead to disaster... Really big drama... More than just drama. Gyah! he couldn't explain it, but...

Quickly grabbing his jacket and throwing it on, he reached for the front door, slipping his shoes on fast and turning the knob.

He stopped in his tracks when he saw two figures in front of him... and the only word that could come to his mind about them was...

Beautiful...

These people were really pretty. But Naruto was confused. Were they men or woman? Pretty hard to tell. But back to important matters. What did they want?

"Why, heeeeeello!" Deidara smiled cheerfully, pulling his face up to the blonde's, who took a couple steps back.

Deidara gave a small pout of annoyance, "Aw, how rude! Not even going to invite your guest in, are you, un?" he waved a finger. Naruto quirked a brow.

"Erm... Who are you?"

Deidara wrapped an arm around Itachi and leaned against the taller man's shoulder. He chuckled.

"My name is Deidara, un. And this is my lover, Itachi! Pleasure to meet you, un!" he winked.

"Not really my lover if you just want the simple life..." Itachi stated matter-of-fact.

Deidara pulled away from the man and punched him lightly, glaring.

Naruto was now more confused than ever now. These people were ridiculously friendly, and he didn't even know them. They couldn't be salesmen, considering they carried no briefcase. He glanced at them closer...

He felt his blood freeze again.

Those long black nails.

Those outfits they were wearing weren't normal.

Their ears were a bit pointed.

Fangs...

Naruto felt terrified at this moment. Why didn't he sense their aurora? Why is he making all these stupid mistakes?!

He backed away slowly, "Y-you're...demons."

Deidara gave a huge grin while Itachi smirk and grabbed the blonde by the collar quickly. Naruto let out what was mixed between a gasp and a squeak.

"You're not so stupid as I thought," he murmured, pushing the now screaming blonde against the floor, grabbing his chin and forcing those luscious blue eyes to meet those lustful red ones.

Naruto gave a small glare as he tried squirming free; but no prevail. Itachi was just too damn strong for the younger boy to handle. Deidara gave a chuckle and stuffed some cake into his mouth. Naruto would've asked when the hell did the other blonde get cake, but he decided now wasn't the exact best time.

"What the hell!?" the blonde screamed as Itachi leaned towards his lips, "Let GO of me!"

Itachi pulled his face back up a meter, and stared down towards Naruto. His face clearly showed fear... but something else, too. Something like...

Itachi grinned.

"Don't worry, little boy," the blonde closed his eyes as Itachi once again, leaned forward. He could feel the hot breath from the older boy, "I'm just here to steal those little powers from your's. It's clear that you can't control them." he stated.

Naruto growled. Alright, so maybe the demon was right. He couldn't control his power's all that well. That's no reason to take them away from the blonde, right? All he needed was a tutor on how to control them.

"Ah, yes. I need a tutor on how to control my powers to save people from meanie demons!"

Naruto gritted his teeth. Nobody would ever believe him... except Sakura...

The blonde sighed in defeat and tightly closed his blue eyes. There was no use struggling, after all. He was powerless against Itachi. And to make matters worse, his companion was right next to him, grinning all the while. He made a promise to his parent's. And he wanted to keep it. He really did. But... how? Maybe if Sasuke was here, he would've helped the blonde? But wasn't the younger demon after the same goal as the two standing before Naruto? He felt something in his stomach tightened. He felt sick. He wanted to throw up. Here he was, giving in to Itachi, letting him steal what was so precious to him. Something that made him him. Something he had gotten from his parent's. Something he'd promise to use to help create a better future for people. And he was giving up so easily... because he was weak. He was mean to Sasuke. He threw the guy out. Maybe he didn't even deserved that. Maybe the blonde didn't hate the cold hearted bastard like he thought he did. Maybe he...

The blonde's tears began to drip onto the wooden floor.

"Sasuke..." he whispered into the air, though it sounded more like a plead.

Itachi raised an ammused eyebrow. He felt something inside the blonde awaken. He narrowed his eyes in anger. He knew what it was. And he certainly didn't prepare himself for this...

"Kyuubi," the black haired youth cursed under his breath. Deidara raised a brow.

"Oi, Itachi! Looks like we have a visitor, un," Itachi gave a small smirk as he lifted his head up towards Deidara, who gave a wink. He turned his red eyes towards the door, where Sasuke was standing perfectly still. His ruby eyes were wide, his clutched knuckles were pale as a ghost. To put it more simply, he was confused and deadly angry.

"What.The.FUCK." the raven haired paused during each word.

Itachi let go of the blonde and stood, "My, my. Little brother-"

"Don't you fuckin' little brother' me!" Sasuke screeched, glancing down at Naruto, who looked mildly horrified, and then glanced back up to look at Itachi, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?!"

Deidara cut in, "Look, Sasuke! We have cake, un!"

"Deidara..."

"My bad, un."

Sasuke turned to glare at Deidara, "And you-"

"I think we'll be leaving now," Itachi pointed out. Sasuke returned his glare back towards his older brother.

"I don't fuckin' think so, you sick FREAK!" the younger sibling gave a grunt as a battle cry before running face first towards Itachi; packing well thrown punches. Sadly, the elder dodged with ease.

"Why the hell can't you ever keep your hand's to yourself?!" he threw another punch, but yet again, Itachi doged it, "He's MY prey! Go find your own, you bast-" he let out a frustrated groan as Itachi kicked him in the gut, then simply flicked his brother to the ground. The older demon was a pro at counterattacking. He simply grabbed his younger brother by the throat and pulled him upwards, then slamming him back against the ground.

Itachi gave another well known smirk as he flicked his brother's nose playfully, "Like I said, before I was so rudely interrupted. We'll be leaving now."

Deidara gave a slight glare, "What're talking about, un?! The brat's clearly opened for you to-"

"We are leaving."

The blonde demon gave a slight grunt before finishing his last piece of cake, and followed his lover towards the exit.

Itachi turned around and gave Sasuke one last glance.

"Little brother..."

Then, they were gone.

The raven haired prince opened one eye in anger, clutching his stomach hard and he tried pulling himself to his knees. With coughing up a couple droplets of blood from his mouth, he mananged to do just that. He felt like shit. And he cursed silently.

Damn Itachi for taking him out so easily.

Damn his older brother for being stronger.

DAMN ITACHI TO HELL!

Sasuke's eyes widdened as he head...sniffling? He gave a frustrated sigh as he turned his head to glance at a certain blonde that was huddled in the corner, clearly trying to hide himself. Sasuke let out another curse. He had forgotten that the blonde was even there for a second. But only for a second.

"N...Nar...Naruto," the raven haired whispered, forcing himself to stand up completely. He wobbled a few times before steadly walking towards the blonde, who pulled his legs closer to himself. When Sasuke finally managed to reach the crying boy, he let his legs give out as he fell onto his knees. Ignoring his pain, he reached out and grabbed the blonde by the arm.

"Nar...uto," he whispered again. Naruto flinched upon the skin contact, but let himself be dragged by the older boy. He felt his face burried into the other's shirt, and he continued to weep softly. Sasuke held the boy and began tracing light crcles of comfort onto the blonde's back. They stayed like that for awhile. After what seemed like forever, Naruto was the first to speak.

"I was...scared," he admitted, pulling his face away from the raven's chest and looking up, "I was...so...scared." he repeated.

"I know," Sasuke agreed. Of course the blonde would've been scared. It was only natural.

"You don't know," Naruto said softly. Sasuke flinched, but held the blonde tighter.

For some reason, that stung.

-----

"What the hell was up with that, un?" Deidara raised an angered finger and poked his lover in the chest, "You let them go so easily, un."

Itachi sighed. Deidara just doesn't know when to shut the hell up.

"Kyuubi." the older man said simply. Deidara blinked.

"Kyuubi?"

"That's what I said."

Itachi turned around and began walking away. Deidara frowned.

"What does Kyuubi have to-" he paused for a second upon realizing, "Ooh..." he gave a sheepish grin.

Itachi rolled his eyes. Deidara began to follow him.

"Should've came prepared, un? Weird, though. I thought Kyuubi hated mortals," the blonde slapped his temple's.

"Mmhmm," was the reply.

"It still sucks that you didn't tell Sasuke you killed your father, un."

Itachi turned around and looked down at the confused blonde, who stopped in his tracks.

"Guess we'll have to tell him next time, huh?"

Deidara returned the smirk.
