Chapter Seven
The game has begun…and the winner is?
Naruto's POV
Dreaming of happiness, dreaming of hope…
Dreaming of love…that is where I wish I could be…escaping in my dreams to a place where I could be loved for who I am. Because what he said to me couldn't be true…
But he did call me his love…that he would and has killed to protect me…to make me safe…to save me…
But he…
Could he really want a disgusting dragon such as me? For I am not worthy of his attentions…unworthy of all that he is offering me…
I mean…
Why would he this beautiful sexual creature want me? I have nothing to offer him. No family, no friends, nothing… absolutely nothing that could make me at all interesting to a vampire of his stature and beauty . Maybe he wants to hurt me…maybe he wants…
UGH!!!!!
I don't know what he wants but he couldn't want me. I am short with ugly boring blond hair and non-descript blue eyes. I have no redeeming factors that could make him want me. I wish I did…I wish that I had something that would make me worthy of such a creature. Why can't I be more? More of everything…
More desirable…
More handsome…
More intelligent…
Why is fate trying to make fun of my plight? Bringing something so perfect into my sight yet making it glaringly impossible for me to hold…to touch such a creature…
How pitiful am I? Sitting in this beautiful bedroom wishing for things that can never come; wishing for things that could never be and should never be…damn but how nice it would be if wishes could come true.
To feel the touch of a lover…
To feel the stirrings of desire…
To feel the warmth of love…
That is what I wish, no matter the bold things that I did last night to my savior. I just don't feel that I have the right to be anything other than a rug…something for someone to walk on. Why did I do those bold things last night? Maybe it was to kid myself…maybe it was to delude myself that I could be desired, that I could be wanted.
But…
My insecurities aside, my soul knows him and wants him. When I first saw him in the class room I connected…
So my soul couldn't be wrong…right?
All these thoughts are cluttering my mind when all I want to do is sleep and dream. I want to wake up and have these wounds on my back and in my heart healed.
Would you look at that…even in his sleep he is beautiful. His long dark hair shimmers down over him like silk and his glorious pale bloodless skin casts a beautiful haunting glow…
How I desire to touch him!
HM…maybe I can in my dreams…
Neji's POV
My angel has woke up…but he seems so sad, not like a couple of hours ago when he almost seemed bold. In our link, I can feel that he is very insecure; he feels unworthy but of what?
Doesn't he understand that I want him scars and all? Doesn't he understand that I want all his broken pieces so that I may help him glue them back together? What have I done wrong that he doesn't feel this? Can't he feel us…me…our connection? Is it that weak?
I think that I won't let him see that I know he is awake; for I think that he needs to process what has happened and if I can help him later after he has more sleep then maybe I can help him with this feeling of unworthiness. It really is amazing what an evil person can do to such an innocent…that bastard took what was a bright shining soul and made it into a scared and timid soul. I hate him for that…what kind of monster does that to a person?
Well no matter for he is safe now and I will let no harm come to him.
It is almost overwhelming, this thirst to be with him to partake in his blood is a tantalizing torture. I want him and now being in his presentence is beyond what I would have hoped for a mate. Have you ever desired something so much that your skin literally tingles? Have you ever wanted someone so bad that you would gladly die a thousand times over? I am sure that you all have at some point or another felt this desire.
It is rather disconcerting that someone so small and so delicate can be like a tidal wave in your life. For we vampires feel so much when we find our mates; it is like we have been underwater our whole life and then all of the sudden we are thrust into a world that is foreign but so very clear.
So when we see that our mate is distressed and unhappy, we tend to react rather violently. It is almost as if we could right all the wrongs done in one single devastating blow.
But with Naruto, this seems to be something that we are going to have to work on together. Seeing him looking so sad and forlorn is heartbreaking. How will I help him? How can I help him?
Or is it going to be something that he must step through and work on himself? Is this something that he will have to endure and survive himself? Then if that is the case, I will have to be the one who helps just by being his support. I have to say that this is going to be uncharted territory for me for I am essentially a self creature. God I really hope I don't screw this up…
Oh well, I guess we will have to see where this journey will begin later today.
Oh would you look at that…finally, Naruto has gone to sleep again…
And that seems like a brilliant idea…sleep.
Dream my little Naruto…
Dream of a happy place that only beautiful dragon like yourself should go…
Sleep well my love…
Author note: The next stories are about Sasuke and Shikamaru; Itachi and Haku; and Kakashi and Iruka…enjoy…
Sasuke and Shikamaru
"That was the most troublesome of a night" said Shikamaru as he rested on the sofa. Sasuke looked fondly at his intended and then sat down beside him.
"Yes, you could say it was 'troublesome' but it was worth it" said Sasuke. Shikamaru smiled at Sasuke and then he leaned closer until he was touching Sasuke's side.
"Okay I know that you are dying to ask…so go on and ask" said Shikamaru as he leaned his head on Sasuke's shoulder.
Sasuke looked at Shika in surprise…
"So you know about your wife?" asked Sasuke as he relished the touch of his intended head. Turning his head he breathed in Shikamaru's scent and again became enthralled with the subtle undertones of lavender that was Shika's natural scent.
"Did you just sniff me? That is just plain weird, Sasuke…and about my wife I have known for awhile" said Shikamaru as he pushed Sasuke's face away from his hair but for all of you who may have wonder he didn't move his head.
Sasuke smiled at Shika as he began running his hand down Shika's arm happy in the knowledge that he was causing goose bumps in its wake.
"Yeah, I sniffed you…do you have a problem with that?" smirked Sasuke as he continued his subtle assault of Shikamaru.
"N-o-o…just w-on-der-ing…" muttered the stuttering mortal.
"Good" whispered Sasuke as he tilted his intended head up and proceeded to give Shika a sheering kiss that produced a small groans and moans from Shikamaru.
After hearing those small but promising noises, Sasuke smiled slightly against Shikamaru's mouth. Pulling the smaller man onto his lap, Sasuke began his assault. With every touch and every kiss, Shikamaru began withering and panting.
"Shika…let's take this upstairs" whispered Sasuke against the younger man's ear.
"Yes…upstairs…goooood…idea" moaned Shikamaru.
With that Sasuke stood up with his precious bundle and then he made his way upstairs; coming upon his bedroom door, Sasuke kicked it open with his foot. After depositing Shikamaru on the bed, Sasuke made short work of his clothes all the while watching Shikamaru wither in mindless desire.
"Hu-r-ry…pl-e-a-s-e…" whispered Shikamaru.
Sasuke made his way to his soon to be lover and slowly with patience only a vampire can possibly have he stripped Shikamaru of all his clothing. When Sasuke was finished, the vampire looked at his now naked lover he felt the mating bond become stronger and more pronounced; it was almost like a living entity that wound itself around Sasuke's heart. Realizing that he had to ask a very important question to his distracted love, Sasuke began slowing down the constant ministrations. When he did that it gave his lover/intended time to catch his breath.
"Why? What? Oh, please Sasuke" panted Shikamaru as his lust filled eyes began clearing.
Sasuke smiled at his love as he laid down beside him; still petting Shikamaru Sasuke began his long thought out speech.
"Shika, love…I want to make love you so much but before I can get to that point I have to know what you want…do you want a fast screw or do you want to be my mate…because if it is a fast screw then I can't do that and we must stop here…because my body and my soul sees you as my mate, so I can't have…I just can't be callous about what we are about to do" said Sasuke.
Shikamaru looked at Sasuke and shook his head…
"You think that I could do this with you unless I expected you to make me what you are…to make me your mate…your lover…forever…if you thought I could do that then let me clear up any misconceptions right now…I. LOVE. YOU…and I want this now…so quite being so troublesome and make love to me" panted Shikamaru.
The breath that Sasuke didn't know he was holding was expelled softly; then he grabbed Shikamaru by the shoulders to entice his lover to look him in the eye.
"So you want me to make you into a vampire?" asked Sasuke while he leaned his forehead to Shika's forehead.
Shikamaru smiled at his hesitate vampire.
"Yes that is what it means but I have a question…should I get my divorce first…or" asked Shikamaru.
It was Sasuke's turn to smile.
"No, love we don't have to wait for your divorce…those are human concerns not vampire concerns…" said Sasuke.
"Oh, so I can be your mate but still technically married…then make me your mate and later after we get up I need to go to a lawyer" said the relieved mortal.
"Ah, that maybe a problem my love…for when I take you and make you a vampire you won't be fit for society for at least two weeks…because it takes that long for your body to completely be made into a vampire but by then you will be in the thralls of mating and the heat will be unbearable for the both of us for nearly that long…so my love it will be about two weeks before I can let you out of my sight" smirked Sasuke as he started running his wicked fingers down Shikamaru's sensitive body.
"So I guess I will need to get a sub teacher for awhile huh…and we will be in heat? What does that entail?" asked Shikamaru breathlessly.
"Well, Shika…what a heat 'entails' is…that we have to make love as often and as much as possible" drawly Sasuke.
"OH!" whispered Shikamaru.
"Does…that…sound…acceptable…TO…YOU…" smirked Sasuke at his blushing mate.
"Uh-uh" said that articulate genius.
"Well, then we had better get started"
After that statement, Sasuke began a thorough and passionate ravishing of Shikamaru. Slow then quick, hard then soft the pace was beautiful…the moans and the cries grew louder and louder until Shikamaru thought he was going to explode.
Sasuke prepared his lover with gentle strokes, never quite hitting Shikamaru's prostrate…which became an agonizing delicious torture to the genius.
"Please…now…Sasuke" panted Shikamaru.
Sasuke smiled as his long pale fingers pulsed in and out of the virginal passage. Leaning up Sasuke kissed Shikamaru passionately on the mouth…
"You want something…Shika" smirked Sasuke against Shikamaru's mouth.
Withering and panting, Shikamaru could only moan in response. Sasuke moved in between Shika's leg and then Sasuke began moving into Shikamaru very slowly with meticulous precision and infinite patience. Finally Sasuke was completely in his lover's tight heat and then he became completely still as Sasuke waited for his lover to adjust…
And he waited…
And he waited…
And he waited…
"Alright you bastard…MOVE!" groaned Shikamaru as he used his body to thrust back against Sasuke.
"Okay…gosh baby you are so impatient…" panted Sasuke and that was all the warning that Shikamaru got before a bruising but satisfying pace was set.
Soon the pace was too much for the panting and groaning mortal…
"I'm…gggoooiiingg to cccuuummm" screamed the normally lazy quiet man.
Sasuke grunted a reply as his fangs began to lengthen. Feeling that Shikamaru didn't have much time before he came, Sasuke positioned himself closer to his love's neck and then…
"Cum for me now my mate…" came the order whispered into Shikamaru's ear.
Suddenly there was a cry as the mortal came to a stunning but satisfying completion; at the same time, Sasuke sank his fangs deep into Shikamaru's neck.
With fangs fully extended into Shikamaru's neck, he could help but let out a small whimper. Sasuke petted his hands down Shikamaru's side trying to calm his slightly scared lover. Shikamaru tried squirming slightly but with the pressure of Sasuke inside of him and with his neck currently being sucked…he could go nowhere.
After awhile, Shikamaru started feeling light headed; he could hear his heart start slowing down and fear began to grip him in an irrational but very normal manner.
When a few more moments had passed, Sasuke stopped feeding off of Shikamaru's neck and at first Shika couldn't understand what the vampire was saying but soon the words became more clear.
"Baby, right now your body is dying and I know that you are a little bit afraid but I will be here through it all…I will never leave you… for I love you…and as your body dies you will feel that you are floating but I promise that soon you will awaken to a new world…everything will become clear as crystal…every sound and everything you see…and then you will be hungry for something which you will not understand but I will have what you need so my love just close your eyes…" said Sasuke softly to his distressed love. Deciding that it was time to move out of his lover, Sasuke began to pull out.
Suddenly a weak cry could be heard from below Sasuke…
"What is it…my love?" asked Sasuke.
"Don't…leave…me" whispered the dying man.
"I won't…I am just pulling out so that I don't crush you" came the soothing reply.
"No…please"
"You don't want me to pull out?" asked Sasuke.
"No…pull…out…stay" came the weak reply.
"Okay, I won't at least until I know that you are asleep…so please my love just close your eyes and sleep" said Sasuke.
"love you" came the last words that the mortal Shikamaru would ever say.
And with that Shikamaru Nara died but soon after Shikamaru Uchiha was born.
Itachi and Haku
"Itachi should we call Gaara ourselves?" asked Haku as he pulled the bed covers over his naked body.
Itachi looked at his mate and smiled.
"After all that I have just done to you…you want to call another vampire…"teased Itachi as he made his way back to the bed. Haku pulled back the covers so that Itachi could slip into the bed beside him.
"No…I just feel like Sasuke will forget to call Gaara and well someone should…because I think he could help Naruto" said Haku as he laid his head down on Itachi's chest.
Itachi smiled at his lover and began stroking his hair.
"Okay, you win…go get me the phone" said Itachi as he reached over and swatted his naked lover's bottom.
Haku squeaked and then he jumped out of the bed. A few minutes later, Haku returned and gave Itachi the phone. Itachi smirked at his lover as he got back into the bed.
Itachi dialed a well known phone number and then waited for the line to be picked up. After about six rings a rough voice answered.
"What do you want Itachi?" growled the voice.
"Well, Gaara it is so nice to talk to you too…" began Itachi.
"What do You WANT…Uchiha" grated Gaara.
"Well, Neji found his mate…and he is a dragon…" again began Itachi.
"A dragon…don't bull shit me…Itachi" said Gaara.
"I am not bullshitting but that is not the problem with him being a dragon…he was severely abused and Neji is a little bit overwhelmed…and well…he needs your help" said Itachi.
"Fine…I will come but you had better be telling the truth" said Gaara.
"Gaara…Uchiha's don't lie…so you had better get your scrawny ass here as soon as possible" grated Itachi.
"Fine…" and with that the phone went dead.
Itachi glared at the phone as he put it done on the night stand.
"Itachi doing a death glare to the phone won't help you…the phone isn't afraid of you" said Haku as he smiled at his mate.
Itachi turned to his lover.
"Well, lover since I did as you asked… how about you do something for me?" said Itachi slyly.
Haku gulped visibly as Itachi began his slow descent toward his lover.
Kakashi and Iruka
"Kakashi? Are you awake?" asked the dark haired vampire.
"…"
"Kakashi…" asked Iruka as he shook his sleeping lover.
"W-what" grumbled the now awake vampire.
"Do you think that Gaara can help Naruto? I mean did you see the poor little dragon…so small and he seemed really abused and mistreated…the poor little thing…I could just resurrect that damn vamp just so I could kill him again" ranted the mother hen.
"Love…there is nothing that can be done right now…so please go to sleep" yawned Kakashi.
"Well, I know nothing can be done now but we could…" started Iruka.
"Stop it…babe…listen… Neji is Naruto mate…getting in between could…no would be… problematic and really… I understand that you want to help but don't you think we ought to wait and see if Neji needs help? Don't you think that Neji is capable of caring for his wounded mate? You have known Neji for a long time…don't you think that he will know instinctually what to do?" asked Kakashi as he held his lover's face.
Iruka looked at him and then he nodded. Kakashi seemed to be satisfied with that and then he began to kiss his lover on the mouth. Soon enough Iruka started moaning and whimpering for more and Kakashi couldn't help but smile against his lover's mouth.
"Now how about we find something that will take your mind off a young dragon…" asked Kakashi as he began a heated path down his lover's chest.
"Y-e-e-s-s…."stutter a moaning Iruka.
Kakashi began his skillful distraction and for the rest of the night Iruka could barely remember his name let alone the name of one little dragon.
