Chapter 11: The Unwelcome Guest

"I didn't want to kiss you goodbye- that was the trouble- I wanted to kiss you good night- and there's a lot of difference."

-Ernest Hemingway

"Sasuke.. I don't think this is such a good idea."

"What's the problem?"

The two were spooning in Sasuke's bed- Naruto of course being the little spoon. The struggling, goddamn stubborn, little spoon. Sasuke had convinced him to lay down next to him so they could talk throughout the night. "And then I won't have to worry being.. late in the morning." Naruto had seen the pain in Sasuke's eyes- the fear that Naruto would face that same horrific torture once more. It was clear that he blamed himself for the last time, and Naruto didn't want to cause his person any more of that pain.

So he agreed.

And now he was starting to wonder if that had been such a good idea.

Sasuke wrapped an arm around the blonde's waist and pulled him closer, shifting so the blonde's ass was pressed tight against his groin. He bit his lip to hold back a groan of pleasure, but he couldn't stop himself from jerking his hips forward until he was flush against Naruto. He closed his eyes as he felt himself getting lost in the friction, in the heat radiating from his core.. and below. Fuck- I want him so bad.

"Ummm.. Sasuke? Maybe I should sleep in my own bed."

"Absolutely not."

"Ok, that's an idea. Or I could avoid being molested tonight."

Sasuke rubbed his front against Naruto's ass, just slightly, just enough to make him notice. "Or you could stop pretending you don't want it."

Naruto's eyes widened and he turned bright red. "Jesus- Sasuke! Will you just cool it for five seconds. I'm not-"

"Making this easy- I know."

Naruto turned to look over his shoulder. "It still blows my mind that you are so comfortable doing all of this all of a sudden. I mean-"

"I could keep blowing your mind if you just let me" he murmured, "among other things.."

"Sasuke!"

Said Uchiha wrapped a hand under Naruto's face and pulled it toward him, bringing their lips together and effectively silencing the amped up blonde.

Naruto wanted to resist, at first, because the damn raven was being a lot right now, but he couldn't deny that it felt good. He slowly turned into Sasuke's embrace, wrapping an arm around him while another grabbed the front of his shirt, pulling him in even closer.

Sasuke smirked against his lips and lifted himself up, shifting his body so he was hovering over his disheveled blonde. He moved his hips against him, and Naruto let out a low moan. It sent a pulse of electricity throughout Sasuke's entire body and he shoved his lips roughly against Naruto's as his body jerked forward again.

But just as things were getting good, the sound of footsteps made them both freeze. Desire slipped away between then, like loose sand through spread fingers, as they heard floorboards creak. Sasuke immediately shot up and stood in front of the blonde, his sharingan activated. He pulled a kunai free and readied himself.

Naruto moved quietly off the bed, and joined him. Sasuke sent him a look, wanting him to step back out of harms way, but the stubborn baka just ignored him. As he knew he would. They were a team- they faced all foes together. Why would that change now?

The steps stopped on the other side of Sasuke's bedroom door, and both shinobi steeled themselves for whatever they'd find when it opened.

"Fuck this." Sasuke stormed up to the door and growled out, "Chidori." His palm sparked, lightning cascading from it, flashing in his crimson eyes. He held his hand up and shot it through the door. It burst from its hinges and flew backwards, crashing against the wall. From the dust and smoke, several kunai flew towards them. They blocked the attack, easily, before leaping into the hallway.

A team of darkly-clad shinobi covered both exits. They wore hideous masks- thin metal with small slits for eyes and mouths twisted into gruesome sneers, a terrifying sight in the darkened hallway. Naruto and Sasuke immediately turned back to back, watching their half of the hallway, waiting for their next move. Naruto scanned the crowd, searching for any signs that would tell him who these guys were, but nothing gave them away. Sasuke dropped his hand by his side and gave a small signal. Naruto nodded once.

Let's show these assholes that they messed with the wrong fucking team.

Sasuke shoved Naruto behind him, blocking him against the wall. Naruto dropped down to one knee and started focusing on his nature chakra, while Sasuke covered him in front. He cleared his thoughts, ignoring the sounds of weapons clashing, and in his mind found silence. He focused on the trees rustling outside, the earth beneath the floorboards, the life around him.

When he rose to his feet again, he was in sage mode. Sasuke looked over his shoulder, making eye contact with him to exchange a look before shifting out of view.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

Dozens of shadow clones spread through the halls, golden eyes flaring with mischief. They all simultaneously grinned as they lurched towards their assailants. In the chaos, Naruto conjured one more and, with its help, a massive shuriken rasengan. He narrowed his eyes on the group rushing Sasuke and screamed "Rasengan!" as he spun the mass of chakra towards them. An explosion, followed by several screams, echoed through the manor.

Sasuke flickered into view behind him again. Naruto looked back out of the corner of his eye. "Any idea who they are?" he muttered.

Sasuke looked back at him; his jaw tightened. "No, but I can guess why they're here."

Naruto nodded, looking back at the remaining shinobi. "Think that guy's one of them?"

Sasuke scanned the group, but couldn't determine whether or not their original captor was there. "If he's not, he's close." He noticed Naruto clench his jaw. "Naruto, I'll take care of this. I need you to get out of here- now. Just get to the Hokage."

"Don't be stupid, Sasuke. I'm not leaving."

"Naruto! Just fucking go!" he snarled.

"Oh, it's far too late for that."

A portal had opened up at their feet and before either of them could react, a hand shot out and grabbed Naruto's leg, pulling him down. Huge golden eyes looked up at him, and Sasuke sprang into action. He grabbed Naruto around the waist in a vice grip and jumped back.

Without letting go of the blonde he moved his hands fast. "Fireball jutsu!" he screamed, sending a rush of burning chakra at the portal. It blinked out of sight almost instantly and reopened beneath Sasuke, throwing him off balance. His grip on Naruto slipped and the blonde was immediately torn away from him. Sasuke jerked himself away from the opening and rushed forward.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you", a voice cut in.

Sasuke stopped. The man, their captor from before, had one hand wrenching Naruto's arm behind him, and a fist tangled in blonde hair, forcing Naruto's head back. His sage mode was gone, and when Sasuke looked down he saw what caused it.

Chakra rope. It was tied around Naruto's leg, blocking his access to any chakra- his and the nine tails'.

When he grabbed his leg before.. that must have been when he used it. And now, chakra-less and restrained, Naruto is at this lunatic's mercy.

"Let him go" he ground out.

The man smiled. "You can't seriously expect me to do that."

Sasuke's shadow clone rushed him from behind, but one of the man's lackeys destroyed it before it even got the chance. "What do you want?!" Sasuke screamed, panic rising in his gut, climbing up his throat.

"Isn't it obvious?" His fist tightened. "I want to watch him suffer." He roughly jerked Naruto head back further, and the blonde groaned in pain.

Sasuke's eyes blazed. "He has suffered enough." He shifted out of view and reappeared just in front of them, but was suddenly thrown backwards. "What the hell-?"

The man's grin tightened. "You didn't think I would show up unprepared, did you?"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "Mangekyo Sharingan!" Crimson eyes flashed, but.. nothing happened. What the hell is going on?!

"My barrier protects me from many things, Sasuke Uchiha. I know all about you.. and your power. And, as you can see, it won't work on me."

Naruto struggled in the man's grasp. "Sasuke- run! Please!"

"Shut up, Naruto!"

"Your precious Uchiha isn't going anywhere" the man sneered, "he'll have his hands full for a while." His eyes shifted down to Naruto's pained face. "You on the other hand.."

The portal reopened, this time against the wall. "No!!" Sasuke shouted, racing towards them, but the barrier surrounding them forced him back. The man moved closer to the portal, dragging a struggling Naruto with him.

"Dammit- stop!!" Sasuke screamed.

He rushed towards them and was suddenly surrounded, weapons drawn against him. He tried to fight his way through, but he couldn't get close enough. "Don't!!" he screamed, "Please! Don't do this!"

The last thing he saw before the portal closed was a malicious smile and the deep blue, horror-filled eyes of the person he had failed.. again.
