A/N: Hello all! Sorry for the late delay. I have just recently returned to school, so homework has become a major part of my day, but here is another chapter before the week gets truly started. I will also give warning that this chapter is fairly short, however, I hope you enjoy it!

Naruto couldn't sleep. It wasn't that he wasn't tired. Fuck! Even his body was yelling at him to relax, but something kept him from slipping into the heavenly oblivion known as sleep and he had a feeling it had to do with the onyx haired Angel sleeping next and slightly above him. Naruto rolled his eyes and stood up, grabbing his pillow and the extra blanket. With soft footsteps he made his way around to the other side of the bed that wasn't taken up by too much of the boy's wings. The Dark Angel shifted in his sleep, his onyx eyes flickering open. "Naruto?" There was confusion in his black eyes.
The blonde haired boy smiled softly. "Yeah, Sasuke. It's me."
The black winged Angel sighed softly and let a relieved breath leave his body. "Can't sleep?"
Naruto blushed lightly and scratched the back of his neck lightly, a nervous habit. "No. Can I-"
The boy moved a tender black wing before he could really say anything. "You need not ask, Naruto." A small hint of pain graced his features as he rolled onto his side, facing where Naruto was going to lay.
Naruto frowned at that glimmer of pain. "I don't want to hurt-"
"Don't worry. I'll be fine."
The boy's soft voice gave the blonde reassurance but he didn't bother with the why or how of the situation. He gingerly crawled into the bed next to the raven and tucked his wings against his body gently making sure there was enough room for the injured man behind him. Almost as soon as the covers were pulled over him, Naruto felt at calm and could feel sleep tugging him. "Thank you, Sasuke."
The boy smiled and slid an unthreatening hand and his waist and pulled him closer with no protest from the blonde. "There is no need, Naruto."
Said blonde melted into the warmth and comfort being provided for him and sighed. He didn't hear the mental sigh of relief from the fox in his mind. Kyuu was still nervous, but he was content to just let his Kit sleep for now. He could feel the other demon lurking in the dark haired boy lying behind his blonde vessel, but he had no desire to try and contact it at the moment. His Kit was overly tired and the emotions running through him were those that he hadn't felt in a while. Besides, the boy needed all the rest he could get. The other Angels were going to give him a hard time whether or not the King ordered it.
The other demon sent a wave of comfort towards the fox and said fox purred contentedly. Though he was enjoying it, he sent the demon a soft warning. Do not think that I trust you yet. He felt the other demon send a wave of understanding. The fox curled up into a little ball and was content to let the other demon do as he pleased, for the moment anyway.
To say that Orochimaru wasn't please with the way events had turned was quite the understatement. He was pissed off like no other. He was so angry that his power was bursting out in barely controllable spikes. That brat was going to pay for ruining his plans. That Dark Angel was powerful beyond anything he had ever seen and that was really saying something. He had been watching that demon-angel for months before the perfect opportunity presented itself to capture him and what had happened? That fucking brat had ruined it!
The once proud Archangel bristled in his shackles. There was no way in any hell that he was going to let that brat get the better of him. His only choice left was to escape. There was still time before that Dark Angel was completely out of his reach and only if he acted soon. The only problem was the fact that he was in this stupid room in shackles. The Angel frowned. That was indeed a problem, but one that could be solved with just a little patience.
A/N: Just another note. It may take a week or so for me to update this story, so please be patient with me! Happy Labor Day!
