Chapter 3

Death, life and demons

The hard sunlight forced him out of his sleep. The pain had ceased, however his heart started to speed its beating. The first reason was because he didn't feel the environment familiar, even though he hadn't opened his eyes yet. Second, he knew it wasn't Sakura who had helped him; she would never have the audacity to leave him nude. Yes, he could feel the smooth sheets against his bare skin, leaving him lingering in a pleasurable comfort. The third, and final reason, was the fact that he could feel someone above him. He could feel the others body against his and it's hot breath on his neck.

Whoever it was, it was about to die an excruciating death.

Sasuke opened his eyes to confront the person who dared to…

"Hey, you woke up! Tsunade-baa-chan! The hime woke up!"

A silhouette ran pushing the bushes aside rudely. It was directing itself to the sanctuary of the Kyuubi, extremely thrilled and happy. Until, the uncommon silence made it fell on its senses. The silhouette slowed down, sniffing the air above its head. When the smell of blood was processed, the figure stayed still in its place.

The first lights of the day were already spreading in the mountain, making the shadows lift. The silhouette was revealed to be a small golden fox. Its blue eyes set upon the body in front of its shrine.

In a blink of an eye, the golden vulpine turned into a young man with shinny blond locks.

Now this was something he didn't expect.

Within a few steps, a lying young man was awfully injured barely breathing, just a few steps away from the wooden shrine, although it was the blonde that was out of breath.

The human was… there were no words to describe the effect that it caused in him. The awe he felt while gazing upon that pale ivory skin, glowing beautifully with the light of dawn. The black hair had blue highlights that only enhanced the contrast, the bangs framing perfectly his face. The red soft thin lips, even tainted with blood did not made them less desirable. The white, also tainted with dark red blood, kimono made the human look frail and simply perfect.

Death never looked so flattering and desirable.

Sasuke was lost as soon as he looked to those deep colbat-blue eyes. Even though he was a bit angry by the blonde boy shouting he still stared at him in awe. The raven didn't move, letting the blonde stand hovering over him. The blonde had a grin in his face, his nose inches away from his face. He looked delighted, staring him back. The black eyed boy never noticed the blond boy stroking his hair gently. It felt nice, it felt safe.

It feels like being loved once again.

Then some went terribly wrong.

Sasuke felt it: the demonic aura. That dazzling boy was a demon, an awfully strong demon.

The raven haired instantly awakened the sharigan and punched the blonde demon, which went flying all the way through a paper door. Sasuke sit, preparing himself, but he had no strength to fight such a powerful demon in case he was attacked. Breathing suddenly became hard. He knew he wouldn't be able to fight him off. He couldn't even get into a worthy fighting stand.

Then he remembered dying.

The blonde forced himself to get rid of those thoughts. Death was not something flattering or desirable. It was funny though, he didn't have glanced once to the boy when he was well and lively. He couldn't let this human die, it was a plain waste.

He approached the injured boy quickly, kneeling by his side. Slowly, he summoned his power and put one hand on the wound while the other caressed the cheek of the beautiful boy. The blue eyed boy then closed his eyes and blew a soft breath over the others lips.

"It's ok. I won't let you die.", he said gently.

His thumb cleaned the dry blood on the pale boy's lips.

"You're really pretty."

Then the demon leaned and kissed the human.

"Offering accepted."

Shifting uncomfortable, the Uchiha heir turned his gaze to the demon. He felt so confused. The thought that a demon had saved his life… it was impossible right? Demons killed merciless, and even though they were not to blame for killing his clan, they were still heartless monsters, right?

"Hey, what's your problem?"

"Get away from me!", the raven shouted, feeling dizzy and weak.

The demon ignored him.

Sasuke's breath hitched.

"Let me go!"

The human lost his family blood trait, too weak to swing a punch, his head was spinning. The demon took advantage of his weakness and pinned him down. The blonde grinned and launched himself to the human's throat. Sasuke prepared himself for pain, but it never came. Instead he felt like he would blush any time now.

He's sucking my neck!

"Y-y-you s-ssstop!"

It had been a long, long time since Sasuke Uchiha had stuttered, blushed, and had been helpless. This had to be a nightmare! No, it had to be HELL! Sasuke Uchiha did not blush or stutter and was definitely not helpless. Even worse than his reaction, were the demons' reactions itself. He started to groan, as if feasting on the best thing he ever tasted. The demon then started to lick his neck, and moved a hand under the raven's head so he could manipulate him to gain more space for moving.

What was weird in this picture: was the fact that the best demon slayer of a slayer demon village was enjoying it! It didn't feel as disgusting as it should be. The feeling was more similar to the licking of dog, maybe a horny one. Now the black raven did feel the need to be disgusted. However before he could start to protest, his attacker was snatched and literally frown away like a piece of garbage.

"Perverted gaki! Stop molesting my patients!"

The blacked eyes gazed his savior. It appeared to be a woman in her twenty's, but he could feel a strong demonic aura. She had her blonde hair separated in twin ponytails; her experienced brown eyes were examining him.

"How are you feeling? Perverted brats aside."

The raven avoided her hand, trying to step away from her reach, without any sound escaping his lips.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you. If we wanted you dead, we wouldn't have saved your life. I'm Tsunade. Naruto, the brat that just tried to molest you, saved you and brought you here, though his intentions may not seem pure, I can swear to you that he's harmless. I'm here because he said you're injured and lost a lot of blood. You'll probably feel very weak, and lightheaded. I'm here to assure that you'll grow to be in good shape in no time. So I'll ask again demon slayer. How are you feeling?"

The human didn't respond immediately.

He lay down, slowly, taking a few deep breaths before replying.

"Dizzy, and weak. Where am I?"

It then hit him at full force: the announcement; Sakura; his fight with Danzo; and at last the Kyuubi. Sasuke never had the chance to kill it, what if the village was destroyed, and the villagers killed? All because of him!

He sit up too fast, making him fell right away feeling lightheaded.

"I have to go!"

"You're in no condition of walking."

"You're demons! You don't need to care about my well being!"

"Calm down!"

"NO! I will not be responsible for killing an entire village! I have to kill the Kyuubi."

"What? Why?"

The last words were spoken by the male demon Naruto. That now Sasuke considered it to be a perverted moron.

"Because it will, if not already, destroy the village in a spurt of rage, for not receiving its offering."

"What do you mean? The Kyuubi accepted the offering.", Naruto, said as if he was confused.

"That's not possible. There was no offering! I was but…"

Sasuke then cut himself off. It couldn't be right.

"You're in the Kyuubi's castle. You were accepted has an offering. Your village was never in danger.", Tsunade reassured him.

The human's eyes widened to this fact, however he didn't know either to believe or not. He simply wanted to sleep, just for a moment. He would ask his questions later. The human shifted in the sheets, appreciating the fresh and soft feeling against his skin. But before he could feel comfortable and safe enough to drift off to sleep, he felt someone by his side.

Naruto was lying down, and started to stroke his hair again, like their fight never happened. Their gazes crossed and did not sway away. Human and demon stared at each other, until all the distrust faded. The blonde was bold enough to snuggle to the raven, embracing him protectively. Sasuke felt again that warm soothing feeling, within a few minutes, he was sleeping soundly.

Like it? don't like it? Well I'm new and I'm learning how to well work with this site. In case you're wondering yes I did put the disclaimer. It's in my profile. But just to keep it safe: I do not own Naruto. The next chapter will be released tomorrow.
