Night 11

There is nothing wrong with falling in love, or in this case, being pulled and captivated to love one person. However, if you question it, then is best if you try to understand it for the sake that they are the one your life depends on. It is insane, but did you ever believe when someone told you that life was not fair….

Maybe sometimes you did not belong, sometimes you didn't fit and it made you cry. Sometimes you have to let go and open yourself up to that hurt. Maybe all you have to do is talk it out, but nothing could ever be understood when you are working with the logic of love. The way it is, you have to wonder if love really does exist, but if it does make you cry and it does hurt you how can you say its not real.

When you feel it…even though you cannot see it. Love is just that invisible part of life you can't ever truly believe in, you just have to accept like it or not.

Chapter 11

About Talks And Stalkers Of The Night

Hot breath puffed out of pale pink lips as its owner rushed through cold, dark, and even eerily silent streets. Those streets that were far away from any entertainment that never seemed to be the right neighborhood to be at, at night. Kimimaro had been rushing through the dark streets to meet with Sasuke when he bumped into someone along the way. Whoever they were, they had such light eyes, such fiery orange hair, and a sturdy bulky and strong built. A gentle giant who offered his hand and helped him to his feet again "I've been looking for you" The giant man said, his hand not letting go of Kimimaro's "I've finally found you"

"What?" Kimimaro was shocked, startled, taken aback. He shook his head and then slapped the man's hand away from him "I'm going to be late" and rushed off. The person he left behind had just stared at his retreating back, but even when Kimimaro wanted to look over his shoulder to the male with that voice, he just kept going forward. 'Wh-why is my heart beating so fast?' He wondered to himself, and right now, all he wanted to do was escape. Yes, escape. No, that is not right. Kimimaro was not a coward; he was way above all that bull shit. However, a friend needed him right now, and he needed to help him!

"Sasuke!" He called, when he saw Sasuke waiting besides a lamppost in an empty street. Both of them had planned to meet today in a location other than Sasuke's home. They wanted to talk in private and Sasuke wanted to get away from Shisui who had a date tonight. He did not want to be a burden to his cousin. When Sasuke heard his name be called, he pushed himself away from the lamppost and waved as well.

"Kimimaro, glad you made it" Sasuke greeted his friend with a slight nod and an impassive face "I had to sneak off from home just go get here and just so Shisui wouldn't get suspicious" Sasuke quickly muttered and his long silver haired friend nodded his head and smiled at his cautious friend..

"Guess you had to give him the slip"

"Yup"

They stood in some silence as Sasuke allowed Kimimaro to regain his breath "So, what did you need to talk about" Kimimaro asked, feeling better and Sasuke frowned.

"It's about my brother, and something about the day, I don't want to talk about it here though"

"What?" Kimimaro asked, confused about what Sasuke had just said. Sasuke nodded his head and then sighed. Kimimaro understood and patted Sasuke's shoulder.

"Let's go to the café down the street and really talk it out, if you please," Kimimaro gently said, and reached out his hand to Sasuke. Sasuke took it and both of them left, walking. They were going to have a serious conversation now. It always helped Sasuke to tell his problems to his friend. Yet the only one he ever considered a friend was Kimimaro, and usually they did not talk much but this was different. Unknown to both boys, a male their age watched them with a small smile on his face and one who a canary suddenly landed on. That same male followed them closely, as if protecting them.

Shisui had gone to the bathroom one minute and come out the next to find that Sasuke was gone. He had been getting ready for his date of a lifetime, but he had not expected to have Sasuke go somewhere as well. Though he should have figured as much when Sasuke had made this date possible in the first place "Where could he have gone?" he wondered to himself. Tonight he knew that Obito had asked Itachi to sleep well, and see Sasuke the next night. They could not risk Itachi's health after all. Therefore, he knew Itachi was fast asleep, and his cousin Obito was also asleep taking a break from being in a relationship with Kakashi.

It would not be good that because they found relationships, to exhaust themselves.

Sighing to himself, Shisui gripped the keys in his hand and decided to leave for his date. Sasuke had been living in the night more than he had, so Sasuke must know what he is doing. He could take care of himself right. Worry settled in his chest, this was his little cousin, what if someone tried to do something bad to him…Stopping for a moment at the front door; he pulled out his cell phone and decided to call him.

There was no answer.

"Where could he be" A text message suddenly beeped into his phone and he clicked it open, even though it was from an unknown number. He sighed once he read it though. It was short and simple and it read 'Sasuke's with me Shisui, don't worry about him. 3 Kimimaro.' Of course, Sasuke would always hang out with his weird friend. Deciding, that in a way, Sasuke was safe he headed out the door and straight to his car.

This was his first date after all; he did not want to get there late.

"You didn't have to text him," Sasuke muttered.

"I bet he was worried, just calm down and tell me why we are here" Kimimaro looked serious as he pocked at the foam of his coffee. He had gotten a hot cappuccino, while Sasuke had gotten a frozen one.

"Do you remember the way Karin and the others reacted when I even mentioned having a dream about the day?" Sasuke asked, his eyes darting to his hand as he stretched his finger. What was it like, again, to feel the sun just touching your skin? It must of felt pretty good, for your body to miss it but at the same time not remember why it is you think you know that it feels like. Kimimaro silently stared at Sasuke.

"Yeah, I heard you speak of them, your Daymares…" he said in a low almost seemingly whisper. It always had been an uncomfortable subject, one that required you to recall every dream you ever had during the day. If you lived during the night, you never wished to talk about them. It was almost a written theory that you started to dream the minute you started to go to sleep, and never finished even in the early hours of the night. The bigger fear was to actually get stuck in a dream and never wake up from it, in this case what is known as a Daymare…"Have you had one recently"

It was something you craved badly enough to bring yourself into a coma with it. "No, not really, but my mind has been restless at what I have learned."

"And what is that?"

"The people that live in the day come seeking those who live during the night, or the ones that live in the night seek out the day dwellers" Sasuke said, and then he reached into his left pocket. He brought out his hand then, holding a piece of paper "while Shisui was not bothering me I went into the library, and found some old kept research journals created by past Uchiha's and the research about what it means. I did not read everything but I found things that were interesting. I just briefly read over some parts as I skipped through the journal"

"What is that?"

"Is three new facts" Sasuke said "One that astrologers in the human world leaned, where time actually moves" Sasuke spoke as he presented the data he had searched for "Date twins, people born on the same day and same year, but not the hour. Time twins, people born at the same day, year, and time. But now we recollect how things go on in our world." Kimimaro read over the data and the drawn illustrations Sasuke had quickly scribbled. "It says that the one we are to be with was born in a different year, the same hour, the same day, and the exact same numbers except for the time in AM or PM. In other words, the same day, same time but either night or day… That makes them our day twin, for only one other is born in that same position of numbers, different date year that matches and becomes the night twin…of course it's just a theory"

"Sasuke" Kimimaro said as he looked over it, and swallowed some of his somewhat still hot cappuccino. "This has to be some sort of a joke right? How can someone ever predict when you were born and match you to that person" He tilted his head, feeling confused.

"You're right; they can't" Sasuke said "I read that it was impossible to go on based on that. Apparently, in the end all it is, is an instant connection between two souls that have made the promise to continue to live with each other in the eternity we are frozen in" Kimimaro nodded his head, fascinated by the facts and yet at the same time a little curious.

"Did you find something on why it is they separate us according to the day, and the night?" Kimimaro asked. Sasuke nodded his head once more, but was not sure how he could put the situation in his own words.

"It's hard to tell you how, since when we're infants we all live during the day like any normal person should, but something happens to the ones that are to live during the night under the curse that separate us from our other counterpart." Sasuke sighed, "Whether we meet them or not, which in this small society is hard to not to, one of us folds and gives up in the pressure of the light and end up sleeping it away."

"I see" Kimimaro said, still finding it hard to take all this in and realizing why Sasuke wanted to talk. Someone's second opinion was needed in this. "Then I am guessing since we were young when we were all separated into this group, we all forget about the day and our counterparts. Do the day dwellers forget about us?" Sasuke shrugged. Kimimaro nodded his head once more, unknowing of what to say anymore. There was still many questions.

"Did you read anything on the reuniting?"

"Age" Sasuke answered.

"Age" Kimimaro repeated.

Sasuke nodded "Apparently, one can mature before the other, but most commonly they age at the same time, and they have a limited time to search for that partner. It can take months, a year at the most, but I read they had a deadline. I didn't read much more but it got me to thinking, you know…is my brother my meant to be person or something?" He asked.

"Brother? What do you mean?"

"I don't know what was going on at the time, but all of a sudden Shisui was the cousin living with me and Obito was gone. Shisui is obviously from the day, and he always mentioned Itachi" Sasuke tried to recall when it had first happened "And then I heard mom and him talking about him, my brother" Sasuke shrugged.

"I see" Kimimaro said "and you actually think we can believe all of this," He asked, a smirk playing on his lips. He could not bring himself to believe something that sounded so much like a myth. Still, there was something that neither of them could deny; each of them had a stop time. They reached a certain age that they would reach and from then on never age again, even though they were just humans. It was still something that seemed to be unexplored, but no one really knew anyone's age. Nor when the time could come, it somewhat just happened and once it started and you started to get ready to reach the stop time, it was obvious.

"Apparently" Sasuke mocked "It sounds so weird and unbelievable, I still don't know what how it can even work" Sasuke sighed and Kimimaro nodded. They both looked down at the table to their coffees, silently thinking.

"Sasuke"

"Hmm"

"Maybe the idea is not so crazy"

"What do you mean?"

"Just before I got here" Kimimaro slowly started "I bumped into this…male. He was tall, and his eyes were like wow, and I wanted nothing more than to run into his arms like…like I was home or something," Kimimaro shook his head. "He said something eerie, like he had been looking for me, but I pushed him away because it scared me and I rushed to meet you here without looking back" Sasuke stared at him with wide confused eyes.

"Now that you mention that, I think it was Itachi the one I saw at my parent's anniversary, all I could think about was going to him. When they were separating us, I kept yelling I needed him, but I don't know why" Sasuke lowered his head to hide his eyes. That craving he felt at that moment was shortly insane and it was inhuman. It was scary, just like Kimimaro had said and yet it was something that almost breathed like a drug that called your name and made you ache from deep inside. "What should we do?"

"I don't know…" Kimimaro shrugged, he then got a thought in his head. "You know, it would explain the idea of…one seeks the other one out"

"Huh" Sasuke raised his head to look at Kimimaro's puzzled face. Before Kimimaro even had a chance to explain to Sasuke what he was thinking, a huge, firm, and heavy hand was placed at the center of the table blocking their view from each other. The thick arm was wired with muscles, and both night dwellers looked up to face a dark, tall, looking male. Shaggy deep brown hair, narrowed dark eyes, long narrow and straight nose, and a deep set frown on his lips. A recognizable feature that struck as odd was the deep cut directly on his chin, his shoulders straight and he leaned in slowly as he huskily and lewdly whispered.

"Hello boys" Just the sound of his coarse voice made both Sasuke and Kimimaro straightened into their chairs and try to move away. "It's such a lovely night; it would be a shame to waste it. I think both of you would like to come back with me at my place…" The dark chuckle scared them even more and made them feel trapped.

Shisui was extremely nervous. Akihime kept staring at him with her moon like eyes, and the way her lips moved when she talked, he was afraid he had stopped listening to what she said a long time ago. At the same time, he was more drawn in and fascinated by what she had to say, "So, where exactly have you been hiding Shisui?" She slowly asked.

He blushed as she seemed to pull herself closer to him. He wanted to pull her closer and smell more of her tempting scent. "The day" he said. She seemed startled by the answer but he reached over for her face to pull her close again as he leaned in and kissed her softly. "I feel like I've been waiting all of my life for you"

"Shisui?" She was confused, but her beating heart just kept rising within her, leaving her breathless and she nodded. "Tell me more…" she crooned in a low seductive voice. They locked eyes, lost in the moment that was their own and kept whispering sweet words to each other. It was such an odd feeling and it was rushing through their systems so fast it had their heads spinning.

"I'll tell you everything I am feeling," He whispered.

Shimura…Danzo.

Reports of his description had been given out at school, warning every night dweller that he was an exhibitionist preying on both young males and females. Although, his exact targets that not really been distinguished as to why he targets only certain night dwellers. "You" Kimimaro hissed, "You are the one that attacked some of the students at the high school" Kimimaro's words were straight edge and cutting even in their softness.

"Guilty as charge, but that is because they resisted. Both of you are being asked to come quietly, and I'll be gentle with both of you," Danzo whispered harshly. His eyes turned to Sasuke and his eyebrows raised "And look here, an Uchiha. I'm sure you'll be a hot fuck just like Kagami was" Sasuke glared hard.

"You have no right to talk about Kagami that way" He hissed "Grandmother cried, do you even know how much you hurt her in the process of killing my cousin!" Danzo sneered and leaned towards Sasuke, slowly, calculating his every move for he knew how Uchiha's were quick to snap. Of course, what he didn't predict was that Sasuke was not like any other Uchiha, for he found his face being filled with cool ice and what smelled like cappuccino. Sasuke and Kimimaro moved simultaneously as they kicked their chairs from under them and made a run for it.

"Brats!" He roared and chased after them. He had been doing this for a long time, so it was not hard for him to grab Kimimaro's ankle and drop him on the ground just as they had stepped outside into the cold night. Kimimaro hissed, his green eyes going wide with fury at the man that had dropped himself in such a way just to catch his ankle. He had never seen such a desperate act be displayed to the point it was disgusting but this was not the time to think about that.

"Sasuke!" He called, and he flipped his body and kicked at the man. Danzo was smart enough not to get close to a down Night dweller since they knew how to kick, and that is what helped him quickly manipulate them. Sasuke skidded to a stop and ran back for his friend, as he made a move to kick Danzo squarely on the face. He ended up gasping when the older male grasped his ankle and twisted him to the ground.

Sasuke landed on top of Kimimaro, an intimate and odd position but it helped Sasuke flip over and kick out with his other feet at the back of Danzo's head. The move was unexpected and it lurched him forward as Sasuke tried his best to get away from his falling body. Kimimaro was doing the same, but that was when they both froze. Danzo started to laugh darkly, apparently, this was his turf and the gun that he had in his hand was immediately cocked, and ready to be shot. Sasuke and Kimimaro both were frozen and trembling, not knowing what else to do.

"Not children, it's time to stop playing. Both of you are going come home with me and be good kitten and suck my cock" He smirked, as he slowly went from his knees back to his feet as he had fallen in the process of grabbing Kimimaro's ankle. Both teens swallowed thickly. It was good to always travel in groups, but not even a group could stop a crazy man from shooting, even if it did discourage them in approaching. "Now, get up!" he snapped.

There was complete frozen silence as Sasuke and Kimimaro slowly rose to their feet. The night seemed to get colder as a cool breeze brushed past them making both young men shiver. Danzo smirked, liking the new change of pace and the fact that now he had both boys at his mercy. He was going to take them back to his place and really torture them, tie them down and spank their little behinds until they bled. He was going to have them on their hands and knees practically begging him to fuck them dry.

As much as it was cold, both Sasuke and Kimimaro felt warm with fear as they stared hard at the man that seemed to want to control them. The gun was carefully pointed to Sasuke and then to Kimimaro, every second coming to the other and they knew, one wrong move and they would be killed. They did not even dare talk now, not that it mattered, it appeared in their fear they had swallowed their tongues. Their hearts were heavy and pulsing, and dread in their chests. It was hard to breathe since that alone seemed to want to kill them at this moment. "Good, now, my car is just down this block. Think you can be good long enough to get there" He made it a statement and he already had an expected respond.

Sasuke and Kimimaro slowly nodded, and chanced a glance between themselves as Danzo smirked. "Good, now walk in front of me, and you run and I shoot you" He hissed, his voice low and dangerous it was practically dripping venom. Sasuke stepped up first and Kimimaro followed beside him. They both glanced at each other with helpless eyes. They were both thinking the same thing as anyone in their situation would be 'We're going to die' and it was painfully clear in their eyes. Danzo's eyes kept checking them out, distracting himself with the luscious boys he had managed to catch himself this time.

They were ripe.

That is what he liked. These two boys were about to find their mate and he just loved praying on fresh virgins who were yet to be claimed. It was a wonder their population was only as much as 3,119 this year. He had ruined so many relationships when the dominator in the relationship came for their sweet little submissive, only to be rejected it was rich. It was a high he got off knowing that he was the one serving up the damage to cute little night dwellers, and the occasional day dweller. There was just one that got on his nerves and it was what made him continue to prey on these victims.

Hiruzen Sarutobi.

That little two good shoes! He was not cut off to be his mate, he could not be as much as he was attracted to him, he couldn't bring himself to admit it. Maybe it was because he was disgusted by his own past and current actions. Just like he was about to go and fuck the brains out of these two children right now, before they could even reach their stop time. "Stop here" He called, and then said "Now face the car and keep facing it as I search for my keys."

Sasuke and Kimimaro both slowly turned around and faced the car. Both listened to Danzo rummaging his pockets for his keys, and then cursing as he dropped them. They did not know what was going on, or what this man's deal was, the night was never dangerous, this man here though tended to make it seem dangerous. Both turned to look at each other and then back to Danzo who was suddenly silent. Their eyes widened and they turned around sharply when they saw what was going on.

Danzo's face was pale white and he was shaking from head to toe "That's him" Kimimaro said and turned to Sasuke "That's the guy I told you about!"

"The guy you met before coming here?" Sasuke asked and Kimimaro nodded. Both watched as the other man had Danzo's gun in his hand, and the gun pointed at the side of his head. The look on the orange haired with seemingly crimson-eyed man was killer and he looked livid tremendously. It was at a point that this man seemed to be a monster.

"What did you think you were doing with them?" He asked his voice completely dangerously calm at a level different from Danzo's own harsh whispers. Danzo no longer seemed to have the confidence, as he practically was sagging on his knees.

"I was…I was…I was just kidding around, you know, ha-ha, a few laughs no harm done" His voice squeaked and shook. Obviously, he did not like being the one at the end of the gun. Kimimaro felt completely calm at this moment while Sasuke still had fear in him as to what was going on. "So…put the gun down now, you don't know what you are doing"

"I know exactly what I am doing" The giant said "And I do not appreciate you threatening my other half" It was clear and the purpose was stated. Kimimaro was stunned and felt flattered by the words, knowing they had been meant to him. He did not know what he was feeling right now, but he knew he was safe. Sasuke on the other hand stared dubiously from the giant, to Danzo, and then Kimimaro who appeared love stricken. The giant scoffed and Danzo's pathetic whimpers, obviously he did not have much to say.

The gun was cocked, and the man moved it to a different direction, shooting it and hitting Danzo on a vital part of his knee. The man fell down with a painful cry as his other knee was hit only seconds from his first and the wounds were unbearable. "I will ask you to please see it never happens again" The man's last words to Danzo were those exact before he turned to the other two males there. Sasuke watched as Kimimaro seemed to want to walk towards the man but he grabbed his arm to keep him back.

"Who are you?" Sasuke asked.

"Oh, let me introduce myself, I am Juugo"

"Juugo" Kimimaro whispered softly. Sasuke turned to look at him and was unsure of what to do or say, suddenly he felt like he should leave this forbidden scene or something. Juugo confidently walked over to Kimimaro, and reached for his face to hold it and make the long silver haired male look him directly in the eye.

"What's your name, I have to know," He said. Sasuke watched, apprehensively as his own friend struggled to remember his own name. Sasuke just watched them for a moment and then looked back down at the screaming Danzo that was holding his knees and crying in the process. Apparently, he had chosen to mess with the wrong person tonight. He then turned his gaze back to the couple to see Kimimaro still opening and closing his mouth besides him and shook his head.

"His name is Kimimaro, please don't hurt his brain trying to make him remember" Kimimaro glared at Sasuke and Juugo chuckled.

"Damn Sasuke"

"What, you looked like a gaping fish"

"Come on you two, let's get out of here," Juugo said, and leaned a little close to Kimimaro making him blush a deep red. Sasuke had to wonder how Kimimaro managed to turn his pale cheeks that bright color. "We'll go anywhere you want," He whispered. Kimimaro's voice had hitched and he was practically melting on the inside while still fighting with himself to overcome this man's charms. It had to do with the day and the night, like Sasuke had explained. But explaining, going over, reviewing, and learning was nothing compare to feeling these emotions grip you at first hand. The feelings, and the way he was reacting, it was as if he had no control over his body and he was practically shivering in pleasure from having Juugo talk to him.

"Okay" Was all he could manage, even if he deep inside wanted to refuse, that was not the case. Deep inside, he really wanted to go and nothing but the truth parted his lips when it came to Juugo. This made Juugo chuckle and Kimimaro instantly reached to grip Sasuke's hand in his. There was no way he was leaving the small raven behind and right now he was more scared of himself then Juugo who seem to already have a grip on his heart.

With that, both left to hang out at a small friendly club for teens and had some fun.

It was almost going to be morning a little into dawn when Shisui returned home smitten from his date with Akihime. He had left her at her house and he had come back to his own, only to find that nothing in the silence had changed. He looked around the living room, no one, and nothing, absolute silence. He climbed the stairs and checked on Sasuke, and found him there already in bed. Shisui had to wonder when he had gotten home but decided not to wake him and let him rest.

With that, he walked to his room to shower, change, and go to sleep. He felt tired, but at the same time, he felt great like he was just coming down from a high. Tonight truly had been incredible!

Somewhere else, in the estrange village of Konoha, as the sun appeared once more over the horizon and engulfed earth with some more of its light, a tall male made its way into one of the nearby residence. His hair was a deep blood red color and his eyes and orange, fox slanted trademark that made his features more defined. He was of a thick muscle built, wearing nothing but a white shirt and black jeans as he walked into the kitchen and grabbed a snack to eat before rushing to his room.

"Already morning and I'm not sleepy," He whispered as he walked to his room and took off his jeans and settled into his bed. As he just lay there, light filled the room, he was gone, replaced by a spontaneously thrown blonde-haired person that lay across the bed in an odd position, and his stomach exposed.

Thank you all that reviewed! I am glad that you are all enjoying this story.

So, what do you guys think?Good, bad?

Please let me know.
