Naruto liked having the raven in his arms held close and having the added comfort of the warm water. Well that was a plus… he only wished he could ease Sasuke's pain. Not so much the pain to his body but the pain and damage done to his pride. Naruto knew first hand what it was like to be hurt like that. For a moment he felt those dark memories surface but he squashed them down. It wouldn't do for him to break down while Sasuke needed him. Slowly he moved the other to where he stood under the pouring showerhead alone.

"Sasuke is it alright if I help you wash?" he asked as he looked at the younger man in the face. The raven nodded and sniffed raggedly Naruto felt his heart swell as he looked at the helpless Sasuke with puffy red eyes from crying he honestly wanted to take the boy and hide him away from the world. Slowly Naruto washed the frail looking body before him and that was the best way to describe Sasuke's body "frail" his ribs were visible and so were his hip bones and his collar bones were really pronounced like he hadn't been feeding himself properly for months, and from the state Naruto found him in, he didn't think he was far off the mark. It was truly strange in the last 10 days he'd found this rare gem and polished it to a nearly perfect gleam only to drop it in a puddle of mud again. But he could fix this with some encouragement and assistance from the others. As he cleaned Sasuke, Naruto found the teens sides and the backs of his knees were sensitive and that he blushed when called cute, and cutely vehemently denied such accusations. But lost the battle. This was a reoccurring thing as Naruto cleaned himself and chivvied off his boxer-briefs.

"You are definitely not cute…" the raven huffed, As he stared at the floor.

"Right? Rather I am roguishly handsome. Or maybe drop. Dead sexy?" Naruto replied with a grin as he pulled Sasuke close enough to blow a zurbit on his shoulder, causing the boy to squeal.

"Ahh! Nooooo~! Stop! That's gross!" the raven squirmed and spased as he was tickled and raspberried in the shower till he was giving up great peals of laughter.

Sasuke was happily tired out as he was dropped on the large bed in the center of Naruto's room. A button-down pajama top was thrown at him and he struggled into the large orange monstraucity. When he surfaced he looked at the other who had pulled on the matching bottoms. The blonde had a very defined musculature in his back. His shoulders and upper back rippled as he rummaged threw a drawer.

"What are you doing dope?" Sasuke asked as he lay down on the bed that held a faint scent of oranges.

"Looking for the healing salve an old ex gave me. The stuff works awesome I think she was Neji Hyuuga's cousin? I don't remember much except we dated in college and she had a secret fetish for strap-on cocks… and she was a wicked good herbal medicine woman. Ah! Here it is!" the blonde said strangely this tidbit about the big idiots ex struck an odd chord in Sasuke's chest. He mulled over the feeling for a moment and decided it was best left alone.

"Alight be a good pet and let me see yer ass." The blonde said as he uncapped the small white jar. Sasuke stared at the man with an incredulous look on his face.

"Excuse me?"

An obstinate Sasuke was cute, but not when Naruto was trying to show some kindness, and at least make the pain in the others ass go away. Then the blonde remembered.

"We still have those rules in effect we are still on that points system! So bend over and present your ass or it's a blow job!" Naruto cried in excitement. Honestly he amazed him self with how much he forgot sometimes.

"Ah no." the other replied his dark eyes snapping with fire, and that fire ignited Naruto's own passion.

"Sasuke…" he warned as he felt his gut tighten and his passion start to turn from a kindling flame to a steady blaze as he watched the little imp roll onto his back and grin, extending one of his long pale legs upwards

"No~" he gave up the sing song syllable as he extended the other leg crossing them at the ankle like a pinup model from the 30's and 40's. The steady blaze was being fed and the little minx had no clue he was throwing heaps and heaps of gasoline and black gun powder on to the fire in Naruto's gut as he lithely unlocked his ankles and coyly spread his legs wide Naruto knew the other wore no boxers and this thought almost pushed him over.

"Sasuke this is your last chance to just do as I say." He warned as he closed his eyes and prayed for patients. He opened his eyes when he heard rustling.

"Yes… master~" the raven all but purred as he sat with his whole body nearly bare staring at Naruto facing the blonde who choked as the oversized orange shirt just made the teenager look even smaller than he already was.

Naruto raised a shaky hand to cover his mouth as he ate up the sight before him.

"That is a dangerous thing you're doing Sasuke," he mumbled as he recapped the salve with trembling fingers, tossing it on to the bed.

"Oh really? You should know I lived in the pits of konohageru, for two years scrounging for enough money to get my next fix. You don't phase me…" was the reply of the raven as he licked his lips.

"Well, we'll just have to change that now wont we?" Naruto replied as he pounced.

Inari sighed as he ordered a coffee from the big-breasted waitress and a large breakfast platter that had eggs bacon hash browns and toast. As he placed the order the cop showed up and immediately inari got a craving to smoke. He watched as the man a tall lanky brunette in an old leather jacket and a suit greeted the big-breasted waitress and got smacked with the tray playfully. After tis he walked back to the booth inari had taken in the darker area near the back of the diner.

"Hey! Sorry it took so long my partner kept me I had to convince him to give me his smokes. Here you go." The man said as he fished out a white carton with gold writing. Marbrol lights. Inari much preferred camel reds but this would do. He opened the carton and glared at it.

"'S empty," he growled as he glanced up at the detective.

"What you think you gets these with out some information hey kid you know yer underage right? And I'm an officer of the law, I can't condone underage smoking." As the other spoke Inari's immense urge to suck on the cancer sticks grew. He needed one NOW!

"I will answer any of your questions just give me a cigarette!" he exclaimed in a hiss.

"Kay lets start with why yer wearing a dress." Inari flinched; of course he'd start with that.

"B-because I was sold to gato by my family in an effort to curry favor and get my grandfathers company back cuz the slimy pig took it from my dad who had gotten to bold and got shot by gato's goons! Now gimme!" he cried reaching for a white cylinder with the two gold bands he placed it to his lips and sighed happily. He moved to light it but found he lacked a lighter. Shit.

"Next question. Why are you wearing a dress?" inari glared.

"Because I was sold to gato who is sick and has… had a thing for traditional beauty… he wanted me as his escort because all the other women are in the hospital and I was conveniently in his closet. He said I'd get the company if he died if I dressed as a woman and let him do what ever he wanted to me after dinner." A lighter was flicked to life in front of inari's face and he leaned close and groaned as the end lit to a bright cherry and then hid away. He inhaled deeply as he sat back getting his nicotine fix. He looked at the intense man who watched him.

"What's yer name again?" he asked curious as to why the man wasn't criticizing him or calling him weak of making a fuss.

"Konohamaru Sarutobi… call me kono… it's easier."

Kono found the teen to be… like any other teenage boy he had the pleasure of dealing with except he was infinitely more intelligent than kono him self.

"Okay here's my next question. What's your birthdate?" he asked as the teen blew a steady stream of smoke from his nose.

"In four days. September 21st… why do you need to know that?" kono chose to just smile in response to that question as the teen set his cigarette in the provided ash fray and reached back puling on his hair after a few sharp tugs and a slightly scary ripping sound what kono guessed were hair extension's came free. They were dropped to the table next to inari and he acted like nothing was wrong as he lifted his cigarette and flicked the accumulated ash into the glass tray.

"Okay here's your coffee… and breakfast special. Konohamaru can I get ya anything?" the waitress of the restaurant knew him by name because one she was his aunt, and two he often came here for breakfast after a late running investigation, and it was currently 3am.

"Just the usual and a glass of orange juice. Auntie Tsunade." He smiled as the woman scowled and puttered away. Looking at his aunt he understood why his uncle Jiraiya liked her so much.

"She's your aunt?" inari asked as he ground out the but of his cigarette in favor of picking up his fork and devouring his food.

"Yea she and my uncle own this place and have for years since I was like 10… I used to hang out here a lot, An' just cuz I'm family doesn't mean I get stuff for free I used to when I was in college but now…. Nope if any thing I think they charge me for more." Kono sighed as he played with his pen.

"Well I told her to charge my meal to the detective who's eating with me… sooo~ I like it. This is a nice place… I haven't had food like this in almost 4 months. I always got like grilled cheese and a bottle of water every meal and that's what that bastard allowed enough to keep me healthy and every week or so id get a full meal that the maids smuggled in." kono nodded and looked at the teen who stared solemnly at his plate. Kono shifted and pulled out another cigarette putting it to his own lips and lighting it. He puffed lightly on it and handed it across the table. The boys brown eyes watched kono closely.

"Thought you didn't smoke?" he asked taking the cylinder.

"I don't… all the time. I like to every now and then I used to do it a lot. Tobacco is one of those things that are like the comforting memories. My grandpa used to smoke a pipe and when I lived with him that was the best 11 years of my life. Why do you smoke?" kono asked as he tried to blow a smoke ring and failed.

"Well… it just happened… wrong crowd I guess and all that. I just couldn't kick the habit… and it's a stress relief thing." Inari replied.

"Ah… so about where you'll be staying so I could get a hold of you?"

"I don't have a place I cant go back home till I get the company back. I promised my mom. I've never done any thing right in my life that's made her smile. When I said I'd go to gato and get the company back if he gave my mom and grandpa $1,000,000. She… she cried and hugged me so hard, and told me that 'inari you are a good boy and my most precious thing in the whole world, your father would be proud of you. Come back to us soon and I'll make your favorite dinner.' Hearing those words from her made me determined. That was the first time she had spoken since dad has died. So I cant go anywhere till I get it back and I will get it back." Kono was awed and a little shocked as he stared at the teen.

"Okay then you can stay with me." He said.

Sasuke liked teasing the blonde but he didn't think he'd get the life kissed out of him the citrus tang of the others tooth paste flooded his mouth as his tongue rubbed against Sasuke's. Fingers dug into his hair to hold his head in place. He had no room to move his body as he was thoroughly trapped by the man's large body his arms were pinned above his head by the man's other hand.

"Gods Sasuke… you taste so good… I can't stop…ahh!" the blonde gave up a frustrated growl as he broke partially from the kiss. Sasuke was gasping for breath.

"Don't *pant* you need to *pant* do something else?" Sasuke asked as he wriggled his hips.

"That's right!" next Sasuke knew he was flipped over and his hips were raised into the air, and there was a cold goo that was slicked over his hole…

Inari shivered as he walked in the cold his skimpy dress towards a row of apartment buildings with the cop. The other looked rather warm as he wore his old brown leather jacket over his three-piece suit. A sudden cold wind ruched past inari and he shivered cursing under his breath.

"Here" The cop said as he dropped his jacket onto inari's shoulders. The warm brown leather encased him in the cops leftover body heat.

"Thanks…. So which ones yours?" inari asked as they passed the firs three brownstones.

"This one… second floor is mine and half the attic too. I have way too much space for a bachelor. C'mon." the tall man said as he stopped by a mailbox pulling the pile of rubber band wrapped envelopes. As the other unlocked the front door to the 4th brownstone in the line inari took in the surroundings but he was pulled inside before he could actually discern anything. He was guided up a flight of stairs and to another door that had the detectives last name on it next to the number of his apartment with in the brownstone.

"Welcome to my home… sorry for the mess." The grown man said as he giggled like a nervous child. Inari rose a brow.

"If by mess you mean the stack of magazines on the floor and the files all over your coffee table I can forgive that… this is actually the cleanest apartment I've seen…" inari said as he walked further in he dropped his heals at the door but kept the jacket on. He told himself it was because he was still cold. H ventured further into the apartment and regretted it, upon entering the kitchen.

There were piles of empty ramen and take out cartons and food wrappers galore. Inari paled as he noticed the mountain of beer cans. He watched as the detective waded threw the trash to the fridge. Inari could understand a LITTLE bit of clutter that comes with being too tired to clean after a horrid 12 hour work shift… but this was… there was NO excuse for this!

=-=-0=-0==-0=-0=-0=-0=-0=-

Kono looked at the cross-dressing teen who stood in the middle of his dirty kitchen and immediately had the urge to beat the shit out of him self when he saw the utterly disgusted look on the pale boys face.

"Look I promise I will clean it up! I swear! How about you go take a shower and I'll lend you some clothes till I can go out and buy you some? Kay?" he asked, the teen nodded and asked where the bathroom was.

Naruto sighed as he lay with a sleeping Sasuke half on top of him. After the teasing and the, apparently painful, ointment the young adult had begged Naruto to stay with him in bed. Naruto hated the fact the cute crying face of the other easily swayed him. He really needed to toughen up! He couldn't show too much more favoritism. He needed to talk with kyuubi about a show. Or maybe a benefit dinner for the 'rehabilitation of minors' work that his company did. He was a little ashamed on how messed up his side business had gotten. Maybe what kyuubi said was right maybe he needed to drop this stuff. He was getting in too deep. He ordered the death of a man for the second time in his life. A sigh fell from his lips as he glanced at Sasuke's sleeping face.

"It is all your fault that I'm second guessing myself." He grumbled as he pushed a raven lock from his pale forehead.

'Yea all your fault that I'm finding it hard to be my fake self around you too.'

"Damn it Sasuke…" he grumbled.

"Talking to your self?" the smooth voice of kyuubi asked Naruto glanced at his cousin.

"Thought you were taking care of sai tonight?" he grumbled as he snuggled the sleeping boy closer.

"I did… its nearly noon Naruto. I came in at 7 and you two were sound asleep. We need to talk and I don't care if you are dying you have to go to the company today. The board is in chaos and the cops are involved. Also you have a lunch reservation at 'rue de paradise' you need to talk with hitake-san. I have done all I can do… and one other thing Naruto. It's incredibly important. The board… they plan on dropping us. And this part of the company in fact they plan on dropping the smaller company you raised and rasengan corp. it's all being absolved. They plan to ring you out like minato-sama… I wouldn't be surprised if they have the heir of the wave conglomerate in on this also." Naruto soaked this in. of course those crotchety old bastards would do this to him! Naruto sighed and went limp in bed.

"I finally get revenge and this is what happens… damn. What about the leftovers of sharingan?" he asked about the old broken company that used to be a big consulting firm that his father had worked with back in the day.

"They are actually the ones… the old CEO before Fugaku-san… ah Madara uchiha… he's pulling the strings." Naruto nodded and looked down at the peacefully sleeping teen in his arms.

"He may destroy the company… but we've got what he's after don't we kyuu?"

"The Uchiha heir… effectively the last pure-blood clansman. To think we found him in the gutter. Oh I should tell you, those bastards have already offered me money to betray you… and it was quite the large sum Naruto… enough to where sai and I could disappear and live quite comfortably for the rest of our lives… I'm thinking the Alps or maybe Russian farmlands… but that is if we both live through these next few weeks? Days? Months? Yes get up fool and take the twerp with you." Naruto nodded and watched his redheaded cousin leave. Most would be upset and unsettled by all of the daunting information that had just been thrown on to him. But he knew this was just kyuubis way of giving him a head start before the hounds were let loose on him.

Sai sat facing the blank canvas before him. Usually after killing he would paint and paint and pant for almost 5 days straight but here he was not even 9 hours later un able to pick up his brushes; and this frightened him. Never before had he ever had a dry spell of no creativity. This was a bad omen.

*RRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIINGG*

The sound of his cell phone split the air, causing him to jump, another bad omen, he flipped the small black device open and answered.

"Hello?"

~ "Sai… come up here we are going out for a bit… we need to talk"~ kyuubi said his voice seemed heavy and troubled, A third bad omen.

"Alright I will be there in a moment…"
