Chapter 8

Double trouble

Sasuke was mentally prepared for the blow, reflexively closing his eyes. However it never came. Opening his eyes slowly, one at the time, he immediately stared at the fist caught in midair that was an inch way of his nose. Looking away from it, his eyes locked with a shocked blue gaze.

They were petrified like that for five seconds.

Sasuke was about to tell Naruto to call the win, when suddenly he froze hearing an unfamiliar voice.

"Oi, there kid! What are you doing?"

"Ero-senin?", was the fox demon's whispered question.

The clone besides the human vanished in smoke, allowing him to turn and see an elder. He quickly came to understand that the elder was a demon with the same levels of spiritual energy as Tsunade. Like the last one he could only guess what kind of species he was.

The smiling demon irritated the raven haired teen but he came to realize that it was his chance to call off the fight, and the bet!

Coming closer to them, both Naruto and Sasuke turned their bodies in his direction. The blonde seem to forget that they had just been fighting, receiving the elder looking demon with a grinning face.

"I already told you to not call me that, especially when a lady is present. I'm Jirayia by the away, young miss. Would you be kind enough to tell me yours."

The 'lady', as the white haired demon had put was starting to fume. The younger demon stepped away a couple of steps, knowing that the human would probably erupt in flames in a matter of seconds.

"I am Sasuke Uchiha.", he said with a threatening aura.

"Oh? That name is a bit odd for a girl. And Uchiha? That name as a ring to it, where have I heard it?", Jirayia thought ignoring the signs.

Naruto was already at a safe distance, praying for the sake of whatever Jirayia hit on his fall.

"I am Sasuke Uchiha, the best demon slayer of village hidden in the leaves, and for further record I AM A MALE!"

An amazingly big fire ball spell was cast after those words were shouted.

Poor Jirayia had it coming, but not really. The elder never saw it coming actually, too distracted thinking where he had heard that name. When he realized it, it was already too late.

A mile away Naruto couldn't help thinking that his new found to be mate was a bit way over his league.

In a pleasant living room with a view to the garden, Jirayia, Tsunade, and Naruto were sitting. The female demon was busy treating the injured demon, while the last one sipped a cup of green tea like he had just received a spa treatment. The fox demon however was simply sited, grinning at the elder one.

"Quite feisty that Sasuke.", Jirayia stated appearing to be deep in thought.

"Yah, he tends to be like it when he's confused with a girl.", Naruto replied happily.

"I never thought you swung that way. I thought you only like girls so I assumed… I mean he was wearing a woman's kimono. Though he was flat, but I know you prefer it that way… I should have suspected. Well he wasn't my type of girl anyway."

"Jirayia?"

"Yes?"

"Did you just say you were thinking of mating with Sasuke?"

"At the beginning, yes. Why?"

Jirayia turned white when he saw the Kyuubi's threatening red glow.

"WHY?", the demon fox roared. "HE IS MY MATE! IF YOU EVER DARE TO EVEN THINK ABOUT HIM I WILL KILL YOU!"

A dark red aura started to show, and the elder knew he was in bad sheets. The younger demon was about to pounce the older one, when a fierce kick on the head made him hit the floor.

"Naruto calm down. And Jirayia restrain your tong.", Tsunade hissed.

"I didn't know Naruto had found a mate."

"He picked him up two weeks ago. I think he just realized he was his mate now."

"Really? An Uchiha, and human? I don't know…"

"Naruto mates for live if it isn't the Uchiha then I'm afraid he will be alone for his entire live."

"Still, he would have to give up on his long live, and mating with a human is the cause of death of many good demons. What if the Uchiha doesn't feel that way? Maybe it's a trap to seal him, or another attempt of the elders to monopolize Naruto's power. It's too risky."

"Sasuke is not like that.", the younger demon stated.

"I have to agree with Naruto. If he wanted him to submit, the sharigan would be enough." , the blonde demon said.

"I really think you shouldn't kid, but one can't meddle with the heart's affairs I guess. And he really is a catch. You better mate with him soon or somebody might steal him from you."

"Let them try. I'll kill whoever dares to touch..."

A blinding light followed by the sound the chirping of a thousand birds and a loud horrific crack interrupted Naruto.

The source came from the outdoor baths, where Sasuke was.

The human was definitely frustrated. Thinking about the possibility of being in love, left him unguarded and utterly deaf to the exterior world. The proof of that was the demon that had sneaked up on him, sitting in a rock looking at him with one eye.

That was happening to him a lot lately. He didn't even feel Jirayia for the matter. This made the forth demon to appear in his safety space without him noticing. The lighter side of this was that this demon was the first to sneak up on him while bathing, Naruto did not count.

Damn it!

He turned already dressed in a white kimono and glared at the intruder, showing him the red glow of the sharigan. The demon had silver hair; Most of his face was covered with only the right eye showing.

Sasuke knew he would lose his family trait soon, due to exhaustion. He hoped the threat was enough to scare the demon way, or at least to make him keep his distance. He glowered even more fiercely. The demon however didn't seem bothered. For some reason, he couldn't help feeling that the demon was grinning under the mask

"Who are you?", the Uchiha heir asked.

"Hi there. I'm Kakashi Hatake. Ano… have you seen Naruto?", the demon said sheepishly.

The human didn't let the sound of the demon's voice fool him. He could feel the high level of his spiritual energy.

"Depends of your matter with him.", he replied coldly.

"Well, let's see… I heard he was very powerful, so I came here to steal his power."

The Uchiha heir intensified his glare, if someone could kill with the eyes, that one would be Sasuke right now. A normal living being would have run for its life fearing the murderous glare of him.

He risked using the rest of his remaining spiritual energy to form his third best lightning spell: Chidori. It was the only he could afford and he was already pushing it. In a blink of an eye, literally, he was already above the demons head, aiming.

The fight lasted five seconds.

The rock had broken and spread apart in little pieces, when Sasuke hit it, missing the demon. The last one had taken cover below the floor and dig out the moment the demon slayer was falling to the floor helpless. The demon caught him and pinned him to the floor with a foot.

Fighting to catch his breath, the Uchiha heir glowered with his onyx eyes, still feeling the demon grinning under the mask. His breathing was becoming shallower, and everything was fading to black.

At least Naruto wouldn't be caught by surprise now.

Kakashi and Jirayia! Like if one wasn't enough, now there is two perverts, or should I say three?
