A/N : Well…here's chapter 5. I like this chapter the most because Minato and Arashi are just beginning to actually establish a relationship (basically Minato hates Arashi but you know how it goes, hate can turn to affection of any level.) *ahem. Also, just realized, there will be hints dropped at fluff MinaKaka and one ACCIDENTAL light MinaNaru later on. JUST HEADS UP for my readers. … I think my writing scares people… TTATT I apologize.. if I didn't have I'd go mad xD It's a wondeful sight. ENOUGH OF MY RAMBLINGS continue radeading xD
Chapter 5
Minato felt pained as he slowly came to. He could hear Kushina's voice echoeing and when he opened his eyes, it was to see her leaning over him. His eyes snapped open from shock and he tried scooching back but she grabbed him and hugged him tight. He looked down at himself and saw that he was wearing a black longsleeved shirt and pants and he still had a collar around his neck attached to a peg in the wall but that the room itself felt different. Kushina wore a black dress with a rather nice sweater and her hair was groomed. Minato smelled a strange fruity fragrance emitting from her and after what he'd been through as the thoughts came flooding back, he embraced Kushina fiercely. "…How…do you feel?" Kushina's voice wavered.
Minato wanted to smile and tell her that he was better now that she was here but his voice stuck in his throat. He felt a hand on his cheek and felt brushing away the tears that were falling. He lowered his gaze. "I'll pull through Kushina…" he said, "…I can handle anything if it's for you ok?"
"Oro- that snake face son of a bitch told me…the 'deal' you have with him and that other bastard…Arashi." Kushina stroked Minato's hair and cuddled closer to him and so Minato sat with Kushina cuddled between his legs, her head resting against his heart and he could tell she was trying not to cry. "…you smell a little funny though…" Kushina sat up and then got to her feet. Minato blushed embarrassed. He hadn't bathed in what felt like days and he quickly scooched away from Kushina.
"Ah, sorry…" he said weakly. He held his head in his hands and closed his eyes trying to erase those feelings he'd felt when Arashi did those things to him. Physical pleasure….how could he have been prone to that? He felt nothing emotionally except hatred and anger but how come his body…? He grit his teeth, face flushing from the embarrassment.
"Um…" Kushina's voice wavered, "so…you gonna tell me what happened? Or …or not?"
Minato didn't want to tell her what happened but knew she had a right to know. He did his best to give her the clean version and stopped at the part where Arashi was forcing him to have sex for the first time. He paused and Kushina put an arm on his shoulder and he took a deep breath and continued with his tale. After he was finished, Kushina stood up again because she had been sitting and she paced. Minato wondered why she and him were allowed to be so close to each other. She finally just hugged him and he closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around her. He was surprised when he felt her soft lips against his and her own tongue teased Minato's mouth open and unlike Arashi who was forceful despite his lips actually being soft not that Minato was comparing… Kushina kissed Minato intensely and Minato pushed Kushina playfully to the ground and leaned over her, kissing her face, neck and wrists.
She smiled and stroked Minato's face, "I want you to know that…you are…the bravest man I have ever met…not even my boyfriend…would do…those things for my sake….thank you Minato and…sorry…I'm so…so-rr…y…sorry…" the tears began falling and she clung to him sobbing quietly just for him to hear and Minato hugged her close.
"It's ok…I said I would….you didn't make me do anything…shh…" he held her while she clung to him trembling and it was rare for Kushina to ever show weakness…Minato knew that this had only happened twice before…once when they were captured and it looked like Minato had been stabbed to death and the second time was when she had almost been raped by some dumb ass ninjas who hadn't even thought of the possibility that Minato wouldn't not slit their throats. Well he didn't but he did leave them with shattered bones.
Minato's ass hurt and he flinched. Kushina noticed and looked at Minato and he smiled weakly at her. "Minato?..."
"Uhn…it's nothing Kushina, just a little…after effect I suppose…" he grinned weakly to her and Kushina lowered her gaze.
Minato heard footsteps with Kushina and they heard the door unlock. Tensing they looked as Orochimaru entered with Arashi and Kabuto. Minato protectively held Kushina closer to him and Kushina could feel Minato's heart beat –strong and defiant despite a little wavering—and Kushina glared at Orochimaru and the others feeling stronger too.
"Oi Minato, bath time~" Arashi grinned, "Lord Orochimaru says if I'm gonna have a pet, I'll need to take care of its needs~"
Minato shivered and funbled for the right words, "W-wait, I thought—I thought that the deal…"
"Lord Orochimaru decides when the deal has been fulfilled, not you," Arashi said calmly. Minato blinked, taken aback by his random shift between happy and calm demeanor.
"No more…" Kushina wavered, "Oh Minato…please…you shouldn't have to endure this…please…I'd rather die than see you in so much…" Minato shushed her gently and gazed into her eyes with a look that made Kushina wonder what happened to the usual klutzy funny Minato…she wondered if the fourth side had come out but he shook his head.
"Alright…" Minato said quietly, eyeing with Orochimaru to show he wasn't scared, "…I'll …go with him…but what about Kushina? Why is she in a dress?"
"She is a lady of the the guest of honor…" Kabuto answered, "if we didn't treat her well, then the contract wouldn't be in motion would it?" Minato stared blankly.
"Wait…it said keep Kushina safe…from harm and stuff…it didn't say, go putting her into fancy black dresses…." Minato said.
"Oh, I let her stay in here with you while you were recuperating," Arashi responded, "but really, she is in a nice room, gets three meals a day and will be getting to use our private hot springs whenever she likes, underground and guarded of course, but I had a little talk and I figured, you'd be more…compliant if you knew that Kushina is being treated well because of you obeying me."
Minato's heart sank. He was glad Kushina was being treated well, he looked at her and she nodded toindicat that he hadn't been lying about those things, but he now knew that he really couldn't fight back. Not at all. He clenched his teeth and got unsteadily to his feet. "…how long…how long do I have to do this…" he asked tiredly.
"That's easy, until we're bored." Arashi flashed a devilish grin at Minato and Minato twitched, trying to resist the overwhelming urge to sock him. Kushina got to her feet flaring but Minato grabbed her by the arm and she looked down startled.
Arashi shivered, excited by the defiant gleam in Minato's cerulean eyes and Orochimaru beckoned to Kabuto. Kabuto nodded curtly and walked over to Minato, unlocking the chain from the wall and handing it to Arashi, tugging Minato along. Minato stumbled forwards taken aback by Kabuto's strength and worked to balance himself. He heard Kushina give a little gasp and gasped when he saw Kushina limp in Kabuto's arms. He felt a tug at his neck and realized that he had no choice but to go with Arashi. Clenching his fists at his side, Minato caculated his speed and ability to rescue Kushina within that short time. He took a deep breath, and then he took action.
With a swift twist,he used his strength to get Arashi with the chain and Arashi felt a fierce kick in the face send him back and Minato whirled and before Kabuto or Orochimaru could react, he ripped Kushina from Kabuto's arms and swiftly swindle kicked Kabuto. Even without his chakra, Minato had been trained by a very wise and rather eccentric female teacher who helped him be dependent on his strength as well…not just chakra. He whirled again and found it difficult to fight with Kushina in his arms. He backed against the wall, panting slightly, as Arashi and Kabuto got up and Orochimaru watched as Arashi and Kabuto closed in on Minato. He'd jeopardized everything. His heart sank. The sudden strength he'd felt was leaving him as he realized that he couldn't escape from this room or them. Maybe solo but now he had Kushina to protect and worry about. He slid down to the ground holding Kushina close. He lowered his head and didn't bother to not tremble. He was terrified, he'd thought that he'd be able to get past Orochimaru…but he couldn't leave Kushina and escape himself. He closed his eyes and waited for the feeling of her being taken from him forcefully. "That was unexpected…" Arashi said coolly, leaning in over Minato. Minato flinched, forcing memories involving Arashi as far back as possible. His heart was beating fast he knew that and Arashi knew it too. He grabbed Minato's chain and tugged it, forcing Minato to a half standing half kneeling position. With one hand wrapped around Kushina, Minato choked, gripping at his collar. "Hand Kushina over to Kabuto….without any funny business…and we won't terminate the deal and kill her…" Arashi said menacingly icy. Minato bit his lip so hard that it bled but although he gave a little start when Kabuto touched Kushina, he forced himself to look at the ground and felt Kushina being taken away from him…again.
"Oh?...it seems Arashi is training you well…" Orochimaru said, and Kabuto was surprised to see he wasn't angry…but amused. "Come Kabuto…we have a mission to tend to… bring the girl back to her room." Minato watched dazed as Kushina was being taken away and he lunged to his feet, only to feel a knee in his stomach and he coughed, feeling himself fly and hit a wall, and gasping, he slid down it. On all fours, struggling to his feet, he felt winded and discombobulated. He heard the door shut behind him and collapsed on the ground, clutching his stomach, the taste of blood in his mouth.
"This wouldn't be any fun if you didn't bite," Arashi said, tugging on Minato's chain, "but jokes aside…you really do smell…you need a bath man, seriously." Minato looked at Arashi surprised. He sounded like a typical bratty guy…maybe being with Orochimaru gave him a weird emotional disorder or something Minato reasoned. His face flushed again, he didn't need another reminder.
"Come on, we're going to the bath house, and no funny business got it?" Arashi tugged at Minato's chain and Minato nodded curtly, stumbling to his feet.
"You plan on washing me…?" Minato muttered bitter.
"No," Arashi said.
Minato blinked, "…I can have privacy?"
"Look, I may be unreasonable forceful at times and cocky, but you have been through a lot…speakin of which…how's uh…your ass feel?" Arashi asked cheerfully.
Minato blushed, feeling a little twinge of pain from down low again. "Great, couldn't be better," he snapped.
"Hey, don't get hot headed on me, you were the one that wanted it so bad…" Arashi said coolly, tugging Minato along the hallway as they made their way to the bath house.
"M-me?" Minato fumed, "ME? I didn't want- how can you say that?"
"If I recall," Arashi opened the door and tugged Minato into the building, "You said, 'so good' to me…" he whispered it into Minato's ear and Minato felt his face flush. He stumbled back and Arashi laughed, releasing Minato's chain. Minato looked around for the first time realizing they were in a rather nice little…home? "Since you're my pet…you'll be staying in my home obviously…"
"Surprised you don't sleep upside down like a bat," Minato remarked before he could stop himself. Arashi laughed, startling Minato.
"Ah, I really may just fall for you…" He swiftly pushed Minato down onto his back and then leaned over him, brushing his own brown bangs in Minato's face, "…you're welcome to speak your mind… it's just not fun if you don't say anything except what I want you to parrot…"
"Speak my mind huh?" Minato glared.
"Oh yes, like that, you know..honesty is the best policy," Arashi grinned. He leaned down and Minato knew he was going in for a kiss. Minato wasn't ready for another round of all that and he felt Arashi's strong vice-like grip on his hands, and knew if he resisted Kushina would be in danger. Arashi's lips pressed against Minato's and Minato wished they were Kushina's. He felt Arashi's tongue and was alarmed to feel his body tingle in a way it hadn't with Kushina. No way…I'm not gay! Minato thought panicking. "See Minato…physical pleasure has nothing to do with sexual preference…I mean…as long as your body likes it…you'll feel it…whether you want to…or not…" and Arashi grinned at Minato, pinching Minato's nipples through Minato's shirt. Minato didn't push Arashi off and Arashi got off.
Minato stumbled to his feet and Arashi pointed towards what Minato assumed was the bathroom. "…I may lock the door…" Minato pointed out.
"You must leave the door unlocked, that's an order," Arashi said shrugging. Minato knew that perverted stuff would definently be inevitable. His face blushed and Arashi couldn't help but get urges. "Seriously…just hurry up and shower before I really do change my mind…" Arashi groaned, pushing Minato towards the bathroom. "Look, I promise I won't do anything perverted while you shower ok? Just get going..the perverted stuff will come later, so don't feel too dissapointed ok Mina-chan?" Arashi said. Minato stumbled into the bathroom.
"Wh-what about the collar?" he indicated to the collar.
"Oh…right…" Arashi took the collar off from around Minato's neck. He set it on the counter, detaching the chain and turned to Minato. "Put the collar back on after you're done. Oh and take as long as you like…" he waved his hand dismissively and turned to leave. Minato wished that if he was going to be mistreated…he'd just be mistreated and not be treated well just to be treated bad later. Arashi paused at the door and added on a more mischevious note, "…clean well down there… I want it nice and clean for a fresh-" Minato slammed the door in his face. He heard Arashi laughing as he left down the hallway. Minato slid down the door and sat, gazing at the shower and and then he put his head in his arms, feeling utterly confused and powerless. Arashi…what kind of ninja was he? And why…why would he be nice but rudely invasive at times? Minato's face burned as he thought of the stuff that Arashi was going to make him do later…he was relieved Kushina was receiving fair treatment but Minato shuddered, thinking what if things were different and he had gotten someone who wanted to abuse him under the deal of the keeping Kushina alive. Well…Arashi wasn't exactly an angel…far from it, but at least…it seemed like he was rather…normal. No…Minato concluded remembering the sex toy, no… on second thought…he's a demon… he glowered thinking of what Arashi put him through and anger and humiliation flared. As soon as the deal was done, he was gonna beat Arashi to a pulp. Minato closed his eyes, seeing if his chakra could be summoned. To his surprise, a little chakra was summoned. Minato began to smile, oh…now he had a trump card. The pills and the seal made it hard for Minato to contain the chakra and he could feel a small pain from just the little bit of chakra that he'd managed to summon but it may just be enough for him to escape with kushina.
He heard the door open as he was washing his hair and tensed up, startled. He heard Arashi's voice through the water, "Chill, I'm just leaving you a change of clothes…all black is boring ya know? Well…you'll know where to find me after you're done…" Minato heard the door close again and pulling back the curtain, he saw the door closed, and a different outfit laid out for him. There was even a jacket. No shoes but Minato figured those were probably not something he was allowed to to wear or something.
After changing he grabbed the collar and hesitated. He put it on sighing, and looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was still wet and he rummaged for a blowdryer. He found one and dried his hair, brushing it with a brush he realized was for him. Well, I guess the pet is taking care of some of his own needs, Minato mused glad that Arashi wasn't treating him like a dog. At least…not yet. Minato fiddled with his bangs while lost in thought. He heard a knock at the door and jumped startled. The door opened and Arashi raised his eyebrows at Minato, "You sure were taking your time, I thought the toilet ate you or something…" Arashi joked. Minato wasn't sure how to handle this weird mood swing thing going on with Arashi. Arashi noted this and sighed, "Ok…I have a more stony demeanor when I'm around Lord Orochimaru and that four eyes dude ok? When I'm home I can just be myself." He shrugged and beckoned to Minato to follow him. "I didn't mean to be so harsh on you," he ran a hand through his hair, which was tied back in a small ponytail, "…it's just..if you didn't have genuine …hatred or fear of me then Lord Orochimaru wouldn't have been so amused as to let me …have fun with you as a forms of entertainment for him until of course, I get bored."
"So…the deal is dependant on you after all," Minato said quietly, "… I don't fear you …hate you…I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to beat you to a pulp…"
"There's a lot you don't know about me Mina-chan~" Arashi said, glancing at Minato. "I'm sure you wouldn't care to hear about me either so I won't bore you."
"…I always thought Kabuto was the only one that Orochimaru ever kept by him or …listened to on anything," Minato said, his interest was piqued although he was weary of any sudden advances on Arashi's part.
"Mhhmm…Kabuto is snake-face's favorite," he grinned when he saw a flitted look of surprise cross Minato's face.
"Didn't think I'd call him Lord Orochimaru when he's not around didja?" Arashi snickered. "He knows I call him snakeface, he doesn't care. I have to be polite in his prscense but out of it, I can be my own man," and he thumped Minato on the back with a huge dumb grin on his face that really made Minato confused.
"…What makes you so special to him…?" Minato asked.
"That's easy, it's because I'm the only one with enough power to fight on his level…to kill him essentially…not even Kabuto has that ability," and Arashi beamed at Minato. Minato didn't know whether a treasure or a bomb had fallen into his lap.
"Oh-hoh, interested in me now?" he winked and Minato rolled his eyes.
"You're ability yes, you, not so much." He strode past Arashi and into a kitchen.
"Ouch…harsh man…" Arashi pouted but he bounded over to the table and showed Minato the food that was there. He pulled out a chair and sat down, beckoning to Minato to sit down and eat the small meal of fruit, pancakes and orange juice.
"….This…is for me?" Minato asked taken aback, looking for a dog bowl or something, "Uh…no dogbowl?"
Arashi laughed, "Man, you took it waaay too seriously. NO, of course not ya goof, but I just like seeiing you wear that collar, it's sexy."
Minato felt like punching him and his face flushed but he was glad that Arashi was mainly joking about the pet thing. Mainly. Minato still hadn't forgotten what was going to happen to him. Arashi watched him and Minato said a little stiffly, "…after this…what's going to happen to me?..." Arashi shrugged.
"Dunno… you can cook or help me clean up a bit, an extra pair of hands never hurts…" he said and Minato eyed him to see if he was just yanking his leg but Arashi gave him a confident look. "…I have to make Orochimaru believe that you do in fact hate me…and you are in fact, my pet still, so you do in fact have to do as I say and I do in fact plan on ravishing you~ but…" he held up his hand, "…not right now…you need to eat and well… I suppose you'll just hang out here. I have some work I have to do so that's why I can't play with you right now." He stood up and pushed his chair in. Minato felt his legs be heavy but the smell from the food was alluring but his stomach tightened at Arashi's words.
He was in fact still a plaything for Arashi…in order to keep Kushina out of harms way… The food too…he wasn't sure if the food was drugged or not. He gave Arashi a questioning look and Arashi grinned, "The food has nothing in it…I have to give you your chakra supression pills though…I'll watch you take them before I go, now go on and sit boy, that's an order."
Minato did as he was told and took the pills with the orange juice. His stomach growled and Minato began slowly eating, and he realized that his small amount of chakra was because he hadn't taken the pills in a while. He chewed and swallowed and then asked, "Wait…how long have I been out?"
"Well let's see, you came to us a while ago..you spent 13 days in that room healing and then you were moved to Kushina's where you met me… and well…here we are today…a day later, sitting down and having breakfast," he laughed walking towards the doorway. Minato's heart sank. It'd been over a week…nearly two… and no one knew…Naruto didn't know…that Minato was in danger.
"…So…I'll be living with you from now on?" Minato asked wearily.
"Yep~ I'm your master~" he grinned at Minato giving him a thumbsup.
"Right…" Minato resumed eating, wondering what the heck was going to happen to him. He didn't want to eat or anything but he'd need strength for his escape plan he was brewing and besides…the pancakes were good.
"Well, you amuse yourself and if you get lonely, just call~" Arashi sent a kiss in Minato's direction and Minato popped it with his fork.
"Aww~ you're too harsh Mina-chan~" Arashi pouted.
"Stop calling me Mina-chan, damnit I'm not a girl!" Minato flared, looking away from Arashi.
Arashi leaned against the door way arms folded, and grinned saying, "You're my pet Mina-chan~" and when Minato turned back to retaliate, he was gone. Minato felt awkward in that silence but relieved too. Clean and fed, he felt like he was better prepared to come up with an escape plan. He put the dishes in the sink and then left the kitchen walking into the living room. It was small with a t.v. and some movies. Curious, Minato squatted down and rummaged through the movies. He saw some actually good movies mostly actiony and although he checked, he actually didn't find any porn. He saw the bookshelf and thought maybe there might be some ninja books or something that could help. He was surprised to see Jiraiya's books on their own row. His eyebrows raised, and he smirked. Sinking to the ground with one of Jiraiya's books, Minato couldn't help but think how …weird it felt being here in the moment…when only yesterday around this time…he shuddered and pushed those thoughts away. Kushina…he could still feel her soft kiss on his lips…a sort of repellant against Arashi's. The collar wasn't uncomfortable but it was a little itchy and Minato wondered if Arashi would even know if he just took it off for a few hours. Minato wondered what kind of mission Arashi was doing for snake face right now.
He frowned as he realized that he couldn't leave because that would be jeopardizing everything. He hated feeling useless. Even when he'd attacked Arashi and Kabuto earlier…Arashi still made the deal not expire…Minato didn't like to think of the idea that he may owe Arashi. He looked up at the clock and realized that it was around 3 noon. He blinked surprised beccause he had been reading jiraiya's books to pass the time and hadn't noticed the time going by. He heard the front door click and tensed subconciously as he put the book back on the shelf. He heard soft footsteps and saw Arashi stretching, and walk into the living room. "Ah man~ that job was a bitch…" Arashi groaned, and flomped onto the couch much to Minato's surprise.
"Long day?" Minato asked to be polite.
"Ya got no idea…" Arashi groaned. "Gawd…I just wanna sleep or hibernate…yeah…" He rolled over on his stomach and closed his eyes and Minato was surprised to see bags under Arashi's eyes. Minato looked away and tried to rationalize what to do. His eccentric teacher had told him that it's harder to find the good than the bad in people…but to earn their trust through honest methods.
"Even if they've horribly wronged you, if they show signs of their goodness…then nurse that, never overlook the good in people if it means you can help change them…" Minato murmured. If he thought about it, Arashi had been difficult but he'd been…gentle…forceful and Minato's butt felt a little sore still but…Arashi did leave him alone for the day and maybe…maybe he could get Arashi on his side… "Never use people to justify your own means…for your own selfish needs…unless they are willing and you let them know up front…if they're your friends, they'll assist you but you have to gain their trust and make sure to be as honest as you can because sometimes you'll have to be dishonest to do an honest deed…" he muttered to himself, and looked again at Arashi and was startled to see him staring at him. "Ah…"
"What were you saying?" Arashi inquired curious.
Minato scratched his head, "Uh…nothing of importance…just…thinking of the make out paradise books... a quote by the author," he said, indicating to the shelf.
"Oh," Arashi shrugged, and he lay back down on the couch and closed his eyes. There was silence and Arashi opened his eyes to find Minato not in the room. He sat up on the couch and called, "Mina-chan?"
"I'll be there in a sec, I'm in the kitchen," Minato replied. Minato walked back and handed Arashi a cup of tea.
"Ah…you seemed fatigued…it's not good to push your body so far…" Minato said softly.
Arashi was taken aback and took the cup not looking Minato in the eye.
Minato knew that he couldn't forgive Arashi for what he'd done…but the logic behind it made sense even though he had mixed feelings about the conditions he had been forced to follow. Minato sat crossed on the floor by the coffee table and watched Arashi alertly. Arashi set the tea on the table and then stood up.
"..?" Minato gazed at Arashi.
Arashi stretched and then sat next to Minato, who looked a little awkwardly at Arashi, leaning himself away. "You're really…nice…despite what I did to you…" Arashi said quietly.
Minato blushed, trying to forget.
"…Kiss me…" Arashi said softly.
Minato felt himself go numb, "Uh. What?"
"As your master, you are made to obey…so…kiss me…" Arashi leaned in to Minato and Minato reluctantly gave him a light kiss on the lips. Arashi drew back and stared at Minato with a curious look. Minato blushed, feeling awkward.
"What?" Minato mumbled.
"No…I just…I didn't think you'd…" Arashi let his voice trail off and he looked away and Minato found it interesting that Arashi looked deep in thought. Minato's face burned embarrassed and he hastily got to his feet trying to think of a witty remark or something to lighten the atmosphere of this strange calm.
"Uh…do you want more tea?" he finally asked. Arashi didn't respond and Minato scratched his head.
"You know what I want…don't you?…" Arashi said quietly, eyeing Minato. Minato felt the heat rise and he took a few tentative steps backwards.
"Nope…not a clue…" he said, trying to smile innocently.
"Come with me," Arashi said quietly and Minato knew it was not optional. Arashi walked out of the room and to the bathroom. Minato looked at him questioningly but Arashi beckoned him inside. Minato's heart began to beat a little faster and his mind pulled a blank on the reason for why Arashi wanted him in there.
"What?..." He asked baffled but he heard the door shut behind him. Arashi didn't speak but turned to the shower. He then began to take off his clothes and Minato could feel himself blushing from the awkwardness, and his legs were turning to jelly again. "Ah, I shouldn't intrude—really shouldn't…" he fumbled for the door but felt a hand on his shoulder.
"…I've been working a long day…I need to bathe and I want you to bathe with me… the shower is too small but the bathtub should do fine…" Arashi indicated to a nice bathtub that looked more like a jacuzzi…a fancy one. Minato tried to speak but the scene from the day previous came to mind and he knew he'd have to go through "that" again soon. He hadn't realized he was shaking but he was surprised when he felt himself being pulled into an unexpected kiss on the cheek by Arashi. "It's ok…you've got 10 minutes to compose yourself…the bath water needs to warm up and I really do need a nice soak…I just thought it'd be more fun with you in the jacuzzi cuz I normally don't have anyone over you know?" Arashi said grinning good naturedly at Minato and thumping him on the back. "…I want to be all bad ass again and force you but…if you don't want to bathe with me…then you can wait in the room…I won't force you." Arashi walked away from Minato and Minato leaned against the door, feeling relieved and his legs buckled under him and he slid down to the ground and rested his head in his arms. As he thought about it, he realized that it didn't make a difference if he took off his clothes now or later… he was still trying to ajust to Arashi's weird complete behavioral change from yesterday.
Arashi turned on the bath and Minato kept his eyes averted as an instinctive form of politeness. "U-um…" Minato began but at a loss of words for what to say, he lowered his gaze instead.
Arashi splashed into the tub humming a tune to himself and Minato stared at the tiled ground thinking about Kushina. "Oi, pass me the bubble bath, it's under the sink," Arashi asked.
Minato blinked and he did as he was asked. He kept his eyes averted though as he handed the bubble bath to Arashi but Arashi grabbed Minato by the arm, causing Minato to lose balance and Minato was forced to lean in awkardly. "Whoa, hey!"
"Mina-chan~it's no fun without bubbles," Arashi pouted, "please put in the bubble bath for me?"
Minato didn't know what this guy's deal was but he sighed exhasperated and did as Arashi asked. He capped the bottle and glanced without meaning to at Arashi, who was swishing around with his hands, getting the soapy suds to multiply. Minato turned away and went to put away the bottle and Arashi didn't stop him. "Hey, I'm um…going to the room then…." Minato mumbled feeling awkard.
"Sure…sure," Arashi responded airily. Minato turned off the shower that Arashi had left running on. He then left the bathroom as quickly as he could. Pacing in the hallway outside the bedroom door, Minato's heart beat fast as he tried to figure out his jumbled thoughts. He didn't want to go through all *that* again and his face burned just from the thought of what had happened. He remembered blacking out at the climax and he didn't like the way Arashi sized him up like a he was a fat juicy steak.
"What the hell am I going to do…" Minato muttered, running a hand through his messy blonde hair. His blonde hair was about shoulder length and Minato tied it up with a hairtie. Fiddling with his bangs, Minato thought about Kushina. He sighed as he realized that thinking of a flawless—even plausible—escape plan seemed moot. If he killed himself no one would be able to protect Kushina…and she could kill herself too but….Minato shook his head. There was no way he was willing to give his life up that easily. That may be the way of Konoha's ninjas to ensure that enemies don't get important intel, but for Minato, it seemed stupid if there could possibly be another answer. If he and Kushina were cornered together, then they'd have a plan to ensure that the enemy couldn't' get information. OF course, there was always the fact that the Yondaime and Kushina parts lived within Naruto so that Minato and Kushina didn't' have any memories prior to when they woke up 14 years ago. Only Ju-chan who had found them and brought them together had been able to explain things to them. Minato wished Ju-chan could be here now…to help him rescue Kushina. But he knew that Ju-chan was not on his plane…not at the moment.
He felt tired more than anything else. He trudged back and forth in the hallway, unsure of what to do with himself. He calculated how much time he'd have for trying to search for maps of the underground lair inside Arashi's place but he heard the bathroom door click. Looking up he saw Arashi wearing a towel around his waist and he was wiping his face with another. He stopped in the hallway and he and Minato made eyecontact until Minato looked away, not feeling capable of leveling with him. "What are you doing out here?" Arashi asked in a stern tone. Minato's face flushed and he kept his gaze averted.
"… I didn't feel comfortable going in the bedroom…" Minato mumbled. It was only a few seconds but he suddenly found himself toppled to the floor and Arashi sat on Minato's stomach, or rather, he had Minato pinned with his knee and he leaned over Minato, holding his hands so that he couldn't wriggle as much and he gazed in Minato's azure luring eyes that shone with obvious conflict although Minato himself was attempting to pull off poker face.
"You know Mina-chan…" Arashi leaned in and Minato could touch noses with him. He stayed frozen as Arashi leaned in and tilting Minato's chin gently up slightly, he began to kiss Minato fervently. Minato felt that same odd electrifying sensation that he hadn't felt when he was with Kushina and realized what it was. Arashi was using a jutsu on him! That had to be it!... He reluctantly moved his own tongue in response to Arashi's eager probing one rather trying to avoid tongue contact but Arashi knew Minato's weak spots in his mouth and Minato couldn't resist giving a little twitch as saliva began to trickle out of the side of his mouth.
"Mnnng—wai-" Minato protested but already Arashi began to kiss Minato's neck and Minato felt Arashi nip him and his face reddened. "Did you just give me a hickey?"
"MM, so what if I did?" Arashi grinned, "You are my pet Mina-chan…don't forget…" He indicated to the collar around Minato's neck.
"Stop using weird jutsu on me…" Minato groaned, trying to resist Arashi's teasing of his nipples.
"Oh? My jutsu only enhances the dormant desire," Arashi grinned mischeiviously, "you sure hadn't gotten any for a while huh? Hey, could it be that you're still a virgin?"
Minato's face flushed. He'd only ever held hands with Kushina and he wasn't about to tell Arashi that Kushina was actually with another asshole—er fellow… Although his past self had gone all the way…but that was 15 years ago…Minato blushed, wondering if he'd just let loose 15 years worth of pent up desire…he was like any normal guy..when he had to relieve himself he did, but he kept himself busy so it was also true that he actually didn't have much time for jerking off or anything of that nature. Arashi took Minato's silence to mean that he wasn't going to answer the question. Arashi grinned and stroked Minato's cheek. He nipped at Minato's nipples through Minato's unzipped jacket, and paused to hear Minato's little body twitch, hear a quick intake of breath as Minato would put up his border now.
Minato was confused when Arashi pulled away. "Change of plans…I'm gonna get to bed, feel free to sleep on the couch, and if you get scared…you can always sleep with me," Arashi said in a cheerful tone and he backed off Minato and before Minato could respond, had dissapeared into his bedroom where he closed the door with a click. Minato got to his feet, trying to figure out why Arashi suddenly changed his mind – not that he was complaining—and he sank onto the couch, feeling wave after wave of relief wash over him. He wouldn't have to doit. He was safe for now. Minato pulled the blanket he found over him and curled up, falling into a deep sleep and not focusing on the moment but just rest.
