Therapist Equals The Rapist

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did I would totally make Sasuke and Naruto have hot smexin' sex.

Summary: Sasuke is a being that feeds on the human soul through sexual intercourse. There are many like him on Earth, blending in with society. The only problem? Every person they have intercourse with dies, so most of them resorted to rape instead. One of them makes a mistake and a victim gets away. In comes, Naruto, a detective given charge of the investigation. His prime suspect? Why! It's Sasuke of course! But is he in over his head on this one?

Chapter 8

Tsunade fumbled about with the maid's arm. By the time she had gotten the maid to her office she was running a high fever. Tsunade tried cooling her with an ice bath but she just wouldn't cool. She dressed her wound carefully but not without taking a sample. Despite the desperate situation she was not letting a chance slip by to examine the wound's contents. The maid laid shivering and sweating on the office bed. The blanket was stripped from her to prevent her fever from rising. An IV line was attached to her right arm. The heart monitor beeped an unsteady rhythm. Tsunade studied the screen. Her heart rate was fluctuating at a rapid pace. Her blood pressure was steady but too high for it to be normal. The maid shivered violently from time to time.

This is getting bad. I don't even know what to do. Tsunade peered through the lens of her microscope at the sample she acquired from her wound. There were substances that she couldn't pinpoint but if she had to guess it was from Sakura's corpse. Pushing away from the table she turned to look at the maid hoping the fever was just a passing phase. She observed the maid who began writhing on the bed. She looked straight up at the ceiling with wide blood shot eyes. Tsunade furrowed her eyebrows at her sudden change. Wheeling her chair closer Tsunade brought out a flashlight and waved it above her eyes. She saw nothing, her pupils didn't even move. The maid was blind.

"Erza, can you hear me?" She asked testing her ears. Erza flinched a bit and her pupils moved in a flinch and stop movement towards her. At least she can hear her.

"Good you can hear me. If you can't see anything I want you to roll your eyes to the left." Erza did exactly as she said and rolled her eyes to the left despite she saw nothing. Tsunade sighed. "I'll give it to you straight, Erza. I don't know what the scratch will do to you. I'm flying blank here." Erza began writhing violently on the bed. She clutched onto the bed's side and looked at Tsunade with wide blind grey eyes. She reached a hand out for her. Her mouth opened gaping at words she couldn't say. Tsunade moved closer, a lack of judgment, and grasped her hand that instantly crushed hers with unimaginable force. She winced but paid the throbbing pain no attention.

"What is it?" She asked. Erza pulled her forward though she was still writhing. Tsunade laid her ear next to Erza's mouth.

"auuh… auk…." She struggled to breathe and talk at the same time.

"It's alright, Erza take your time." Tsunade patted her stomach. She flinched violently at the contact causing Tsunade to pull back instantly. Erza struggled some more before closing her mouth to take a deep well needed breath. Her hand tightened on Tsunade's already broken hand.

"I… I…" She spoke finally.

"What is it Erza?"

"M… M… Me… Meat…" She whispered in her ear and latched onto it tearing it viciously. Tsunade screamed and pushed her away. The bed flipped throwing Erza onto the floor. Tsunade pulled back from the bed violently throwing her chair over violently. She grabbed a random towel and pressed it against her ear as she raced out the door. Shutting the door she quickly sealed it with a blood spell. Erza crashed against the door slobbering the glass trying to get at Tsunade. She growled and clawed at the door. She sniffed the air before setting her eyes on Tsunade who was plastered against the outside wall. She clutched her ear tightly trying to stop the bleeding.

"SOMEONE! HELP! I NEED BACK UP!" She screamed down the hallway. Immediately five guards rounded the corner carrying their weapons, they did a double take at the bleeding doctor. She growled at them. "Not me! That!" She pointed at Erza who was still plastered against the door trying to claw her way through. The guards stood shielding Tsunade with their weapons ready to attack. They watched as she clawed at the door but soon gave up. Erza disappeared from the doorway and traveled somewhere else in the infirmary. One of the guards manned up and inched towards the saliva covered glass. He peered in. Erza was hunched over Tsunade's desk searching for something. Irritation got the best of her and she pushed everything off the desk.

"What is she doing?" one of the other guards asked.

"She's… searching for something on Tsunade-san's desk…." He reported but stared in wonder. One minute she was vicious and animalistic the next she was searching for something like a human would. Tsunade looked confused and inched her way to the glass. She pushed the guard away who glowered at her but allowed her to take his place. She peered in wide eyed at Erza looking through her medical cabinet, the desk; she lost interest. Erza pulled bottle after bottle out before clutching one. Tsunade squint her eyes to see what it was. It was morphine. Erza crushed the cap instead of injecting a needle into it. She raised it above her mouth and poured it in. It wasn't enough. She began rummaging for several other bottles where she began downing them one by one.

"She's drinking the morphine…" Tsunade spoke in disbelief. She stared at Erza finished up the morphine bottles and began trashing the room looking for more. Tsunade backed away from the door instantly.

"Ok, guys, we're going to capture her. Don't kill her. Injure her if you must but REFRAIN from killing her. I'm going to release the blood spell. You know what to do?" The guards nodded their heads and got ready to charge. Tsunade closed her eyes and took a deep steady breath. She regulated her breathing and steadied her heart beats. Her eyes shot open with a sudden click in her mind. The blood spell disappeared and the door fell off its hinges. Erza really did a number on it. If it wasn't for Tsunade's blood spell the door would have fallen ages ago.

With a battle cry the guards charged into the room two at a time and pinned Erza down with their spears. They pierced through the major arteries in her arms and legs rendering them useless. She screeched as they gathered her up and tied her up. She flailed about but made no progress. Without the use of her limbs she was nothing. Erza looked at Tsunade with the same monstrous eyes as Sakura's.

"I'm sorry Erza but it seems you have been infected." Tsunade apologizes. "Bring her down to the dungeon!" She waved the guards along. Then a thought occurred to her. She stopped one of the last guards to leave.

"Did anyone find Sakura?" She asked. The guard shook his head sadly. She sighed. "Alright, bring her down. I'll be down once I find Orochimaru. He'll need to hear this." The guard left without a single look back.

WONDER WHAT NARUTO'S DOING

Naruto yawned and rubbed his eyes as he turned onto his back. He opened them slowly and peered about with a slightly hazed vision. Sitting beside him was Sasuke looking down at him with a blank expression. Naruto laughed slightly when he noticed the raven. He sat up and stretched.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Watching you sleep." Sasuke replied like it was the most natural thing to do.

"How very stalker-ish of you," he teased leaning into the raven's side. Sasuke chuckled and ran a hand through Naruto's blond hair. Naruto purred at the feeling and rubbed against him like a cat.

"Only for you, only for you," Sasuke whispered huskily. Naruto giggled then pushed him away.

"Really, why are you watching me sleep?" He knew something was wrong. Sasuke never watched him sleep unless there was something on his mind. Though Incubi aged slowly Naruto swore Sasuke aged at least twenty years the last time he saw him. The raven must be really stressed. Sasuke leaned into Naruto's side pushing the blond back slightly. He lowered them against the head board and climbed onto the bed fully. Naruto allowed him to weave their hands together in a loose grip. The raven looked at the door opposite the bed for several seconds. Then he sighed and laid his head down onto Naruto's lap. He palmed at Naruto's stomach. The blond raised an eyebrow.

"What's up?" He asked threading his fingers through Sasuke's spikes. He still hasn't figured out how the raven's hair was natural. It stuck up like it was gelled but was softer than any other hair he's felt. Sasuke remained silent for several more minutes. He refused to answer Naruto's incessant questions. Then he turned away from Naruto's stomach and looked up at the ceiling.

"What are we going to do about an heir Naruto?" he asked suddenly. Naruto stared down at him shocked. Sasuke frowned. That had not been on his mind. His mind was centering on Sakura's corpse walking around and possibly bumping into Naruto. The blond was still confused and groggy from his trip down memory lane. Sure he got his lover back but he felt guilty for making Naruto go through the last twenty four years on Earth. He felt guilty for insisting Naruto stay at the castle where he thought was safe when it was what Neji and Gaara wanted all along, a chance for Naruto to be alone. Then there was the whole case with Karin. He knew well enough that Karin was the one who attacked Naruto. It had her name written all over it. No one had a more hated grudge against Naruto other than Karin. Neji and Gaara hated him, not Naruto. They had liked the blond dearly until they found out about what Naruto was keeping from them in order to protect Sasuke.

The one with a heated grudge against Naruto was Karin. She was the intended mate his parents picked for him. He had hated the girl even back when they were in diapers. She had been consistent then too, always sticking to Sasuke and purring in his ear year after year. For a succubus she was quite successful but for a mate for Sasuke she was more than less desirable. When his parents died of an assassination and Sasuke became king of Incubi and Succubi, his first act as king was to call off the engagement. Of course it left her in shambles but Sasuke immediately swept his childhood friend Naruto off his feet and mated with him the exact same night. The blond had been tearing happiness for a whole month straight. He woke up everyday thinking it was a dream till it finally settled in then he beamed and gloated to everyone every chance he got. Of course Karin grew along with her hatred to this day. Sasuke thought she was all talk and no action but she proved him wrong when she tried to kill Naruto when he was a defenseless human. She had thought she got rid of him but when he returned she was furious more than ever. Her whole trip to his office to try to up front seduce him proved her desperation. He was sure she would try something again but not right now. She knows he'll be on the high look out for her if she tried anything.

"Sasuke? Sasuke?" Naruto waved a hand in his face. Sasuke's eyes flickered for a moment then he looked up at Naruto who was leaned over slightly looking at him with worry. He grabbed the blonde's hand and pulled it towards his lips. He kissed the palm and smiled up at Naruto. The blond looked at him wearily and half believing in his smile.

"Everything's fine."

"Ehhh… I don't think so… you have that look on your face." Naruto scrunched his nose and narrowed his eyes.

"What look?" Sasuke smiled at him.

"The whole I'm-willing-to-do-anything-to-keep-you-safe-even-sacrifice-myself look. Something is definitely going on. Tell me." Naruto demanded. He pulled on Sasuke's hair making the raven wince. One negative attribute of Naruto was he resorted to mild violence when he wanted something. Sasuke pried his hair away from the blonde's grip but Naruto reattached his hand to Sasuke's ear lobe and pulled.

"AH!" Sasuke screamed and jumped a bit. "Really! I'm thinking about having a child!" He screamed once Naruto pulled harder onto his ear. The blond stared down at him but released his ear lobe.

"You know we can't have a child, Sasuke." He said as if he said it a million times.

"I know but… but I know this witch who lives a couple miles outside of town. She can help us. I want a child, Naruto." Sasuke said. Right now was not a good idea to have a child but he had to do something to keep Naruto's mind off of what's happening. He was not letting his political affairs get in the way of keeping Naruto safe. He had promised the blond that he was going to protect him and he failed. Now he was going to succeed.

Naruto frowned at him and pushed him off his lap. The raven rolled onto the foot of the bed. He sat up on his hands watching Naruto get out of bed and head for the chair by his desk. The blond plopped himself down and pouted looking out the window. Sasuke sighed and got up.

"What's wrong now Naruto?" He asked walking up to him.

"What's wrong? I'll tell you what's wrong. I just got back and you're already trying to tie me down to the castle! You don't want me involved in your political affairs because of what happened last time! You think something will happen to me again!" Naruto shouted at him. He glared venomously daring the raven to take another step closer to him. Sasuke stopped mid way to Naruto and stood in the middle of the room.

"Naruto…"

"No! Don't even bother! I'll tell you one thing right now. I'm not leaving your political affairs alone. I am you bodyguard and right hand man. I have a job to do as well as you do. I may be your lover as well but that is not what I intend to do with the rest of my life. I don't want to be your pampered lover who sits about all day and grows fat with luxury. I want to be productive and do something with my life. I may be only human but I sure as hell am a lot braver than you." He got up and stalked up to Sasuke staring the man straight in the face. "You lost me once and you're afraid to lose me again so you're going to confine me to the inner most courts of the castle and have guards look after me day and night. Well I have news for you! I was afraid back then too. I was afraid of never seeing you again. I was afraid that you'll never find me or whether you'll even try."

"Naruto, of course I-!"

"I'M NOT DONE! SHUT UP!" Naruto shouted in his face. Sasuke backed up and raised his arms in surrender. "I was afraid that you might not even look for me. A lot went through my mind and majority of it was fear. I was so afraid but I'm not going to let it cloud my life forever. I'm not going to lock myself up in here and have guards look after me just because I'm afraid they'll do it again. I'm not going to have it haunt and control my life forever. I'm going to face it by reassuming my positions and show Neji and Gaara that I am NOT BACKING DOWN. You either join me or you can run with your tail tucked between your legs and hand the throne back to Itachi." Naruto knew he hit a sore spot but he needed to show Sasuke how serious he is.

The raven lowered his gaze forming a shadow over his eyes. His mind clouded once he heard Itachi's name. Itachi had given him the throne saying he thinks Sasuke would do a much better job but said if Sasuke felt it was too much then he can always take it off his hands. Sasuke had laughed at his brother and declare that he'll rule till the day of his death. He had downright rejected his brother's invitation at getting out when things got too tough. Now Naruto was suggesting he bite his words and give the throne to Itachi. He wasn't going to let that happen but then there was only one other option. He knew Naruto was stubborn and would probably do something dramatic if he said no to both. The last thing he needed was a riot or whatever piled up on his table with the other problems already happening in his castle.

"Fine but if anything happens I'm pulling you out immediately!" Sasuke quickly installed his new condition. Naruto nodded his head and pulled Sasuke into a hug.

"Thank you, Sasuke. I promise everything will be alright. Just you see. Nothing like that is going to happen again." Naruto promised as he spoke into Sasuke's neck. The two pulled apart just as a knock sounded at the door.

"Come in." Naruto shouted. The door clicked open and Tsunade walked in. She bowed respectfully to Sasuke and greeted Naruto with promises of sitting down for a good welcome back talk later. Naruto nodded.

"Is something wrong?" Sasuke asked grabbing Naruto by the waist to prove a point.

"I'm afraid so, sire." Tsunade never used formalities unless it was extremely important. Naruto released Sasuke's hold on his waist and stood separate from him. Sasuke said nothing; this was not the time to be all lovey dovey with each other anyway.

"Spill it." Sasuke ordered her to continue.

"Sakura's corpse… has infected another." She spoke with hesitation. Naruto furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"Wait! Sakura's corpse? You experimented on her corpse! How could you!" Naruto shouted. "Wasn't it bad enough that you killed an innocent person but you experimented on her as well? For once in your life can't you STOP EXPERIMENTING!" Naruto slammed his fist into the table causing it to crack. Sasuke sighed. He knew Naruto would have this kind of reaction. He didn't know why, but Naruto had some sort of connection to this Sakura girl. He was rather emotional when it came to her.

"Naruto, that's not the problem right now." Sasuke tried to reason with him. Naruto glared at him before breathing deeply. Sasuke was right. He could deal with that later. Right now there was a dead corpse running around was his best bet.

"Don't tell me she's running around…" He trailed off.

"Heh… you guessed…" Tsunade shrugged at him. Naruto took a haggard breath and closed his eyes to calm himself down. "What do we do now, Sasuke?" He asked in a more controlled voice.

"First what do you mean she infected another?" Sasuke asked Tsunade.

"Sakura had scratched one of the maids when she escaped us. The maid turned into one of her… she tried to bite my ear off." Tsunade pointed to her now bandaged ear. Orochimaru had been kind enough to do that for her when they discussed Tsunade's encounter.

"Wait, so you're saying you actually created one?" Naruto was now more fascinated than angry. "You've officially created a Zombie!"

Tsunade nodded though it was by accident, they had succeeded. Naruto gasped and fell into a chair. The zombies were an extinct race that the Incubi wiped out hundreds of years ago. Tsunade and Orochimaru had been trying to recreate the Zombie race ever since. Naruto had never thought they would succeed but apparently they had. It was a miracle. He had spent his years growing up hearing about Zombies and their abilities. They were rumored to be vicious killers with not conscience. They had no brain activity to function language or anything domestic besides hunting and eating. They were badly decayed too was the rumor but no one has ever seen a Zombie since they were wiped out hundreds of years ago, until now.

"That's not the problem right now, though," Tsunade interrupted his train of thought. "Sakura has escaped us and she has also infected another. I have the maid under confinement. She wasn't hard to catch; she was only halfway through the transformation and still weak. However Sakura has been wandering about for hours now. She could be fully transformed or better yet evolved. She can already do what Zombies, recorded, could not." Tsunade explained in a hurried tone.

"What did she do?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Turn invisible," Sasuke and Tsunade answered at the same time. Naruto widened his eyes.

"Turn invisible huh? That's new. I don't remember any lore saying they can turn invisible." Naruto scratched his chin. "So right now we need to catch her." Tsunade nodded. He turned to Sasuke who was leaning on the bed post looking frustrated. He was obviously thinking over possibilities of getting out of this one.

"Sakura probably ran every inch of this castle. She could be anywhere. Did you have everyone who's skilled in combat look for her?" He asked Tsunade. She nodded.

"I did-!" A clatter caught their attention as the picture frame above the dresser by the south wall shattered and fell to the floor. A shamble of pattering feet clattered across his ceiling and down the north wall. Sasuke immediately backed Naruto up against the south wall careful of the glass. Tsunade got in front of them as the pair of feet scampered over the floor and landed on the bed. Though they couldn't see it there was an indent on the bed.

"Is that Sakura?" Naruto asked whimpering a bit. He wasn't afraid, just scared of what she might look like if she materialized herself.

"Most likely." Tsunade said as she pulled her fists tight in front of her. "Show yourself!" She shouted. The indent on the bed didn't move then Sakura appeared. Naruto gasped at her decayed state. Her eyes rolled continuously in their sockets and her skin was hanging off. He saw the white of her bones as well as the dried up muscles. There was no blood that has long dried up. She screeched at them though her eyes were out of focus she knew they were there.

"How'd she get in?" Naruto asked.

"She probably followed me in when I opened the door." Tsunade cursed herself mentally. How could she let Sakura in like that and endanger her two favorite boys? She was definitely not going to let herself live this one down. Sasuke pushed Naruto further against the wall. The blond snapped out of his shock and pushed Sasuke away.

"What are you doing? I'm supposed to be protecting you!" Naruto shouted at him and turned towards the dresser. He pulled out a hidden sword earning a weird look from Sasuke and Tsunade. He shrugged. "I like to keep these things hidden in case we were ever ambushed and I needed emergency backup weapons." He explained as fast as he could before jumping out in front of Tsunade. He pointed his sword at Sakura ready for any attacks.

"Anything else I need to know about her before I start fighting her?" He asked Tsunade specifically.

"Avoid her attacks. We don't know much but we know she can infect you with just one scratch. That's how Erza went…" She trailed off. She was close with Erza though the girl was half her age. They had a lot in common yet no one even knew her that well. She was a sweet and hard working girl who was providing for her family of thirteen Cambions. Cambions were a breed of half demon and half human offspring. They tend to reproduce a herd and were the poorest in society. Being the eldest Erza came to the castle looking for work. Tsunade had been the one to provide one for her and taught the girl everything. She accepted criticism well and even said it inspired her to do even better so she wished for Tsunade to criticize her more. Yet she died unnamed and barely noticed like many of the castle occupants. Naruto eyed her out of the corner of his eye.

"Erza, huh? So that's the maid's name? I remember her; she used to pass me a lot in the hallways twenty four years ago." Naruto smirked letting Tsunade know Erza was not just another one in the house. "Always the same phrase: 'good morning Uzumaki-san. Hope your day goes by nice and smooth as usual.'" Tsunade chuckled with a confident smirk.

"That's Erza, that girl was a wondrous addition to the castle." Tsunade added in. Naruto nodded before turning back to Sakura. The barely pink head turned her head upside down. Naruto gagged at her display lowering his sword a little. Immediately she pounced. Alarmed Naruto raised his sword and knocked her away to his left. She crashed into the desk and slid to the floor but was up on her feet immediately.

"Naruto!" Sasuke rushed forward but Tsunade pushed him back.

"Don't sire, you'll just endanger him even more." Tsunade warned him. Sasuke gave her a desperate frown but continued to look at Naruto's struggle with Sakura.

"Naruto! Cut her head off! Zombies are like humans! Decapitate them and their brain dies bringing the body with them!" Tsunade shouted at him.

"I thought we wanted her alive!" Naruto grunted as he dodged one of Sakura's claws. "Thought you wanted your first success experiment contained and well… experimented!" He continued as he slashed at Sakura but missing her a little beside some skin that was hanging off her.

"I do but it doesn't matter anymore! Besides we still got an infected." Tsunade shouted out. She was disappointed but Naruto had no chances against Sakura if he was intending to keep her alive. They had caught Erza because she was just transforming and incomplete plus there was about five men shoving down a single woman Zombie. She was outnumbered but not here and now. They were equally matched and Tsunade can see Sakura outmatching Naruto already. Unlike Naruto she was aiming to kill not capture.

Naruto growled frustrated and changed his tactics accordingly. He pushed Sakura away and abandoned the long sword. He pulled another shorter sword out of the carpet below him. He held it back hand and rushed towards Sakura. He tackled the girl to the ground just as she crouched ready to attack him. She snarled and tried to claw at him but he cut off her arms with his short sword. She screeched obviously not expecting it. With one fluid movement Naruto stabbed the sword straight into her throat and pulled it straight through officially cutting her head off clean. Her legs stopped squirming as well as the rest of her body. Sakura's corpse laid unmoving below him. He breathed hard as he released the sword from his throbbing palm. The hilt had burned terribly into his palm when he was decapitating her with all the muscles in his arms.

Sasuke rushed forward and pulled Naruto off of Sakura's corpse. He knelt down and hugged the blond close by the head as Naruto sat on the floor several inches from Sakura. Tsunade came up behind them and they all watched as Sakura's corpse decayed even faster. The meat, muscles, and fat melting away and creating a rotting smell. Immediately the three began retching and coughing.

"Oh my god! That is NOT good for my room!" Naruto shouted as they immediately shuffled out to find some of the other maids and servants to clean it up. While the maids cleaned up Naruto's room and got rid of the bones the three traveled down the dungeon to meet Erza, the newly formed Zombie.
