Chapter 9
It was now New Year's Day and Naruto was still feeling the after effects of the drug. Every now and then he would fall into a fit of coughs and draw his hand back to find it spotted with red. He'd hastily wash his hands and destroy the evidence of what had occurred the moments before. Sasuke of course, could sense that something bad was happening to his blond boyfriend and so after everyone had gone to bed and Naruto was drifting off beside him, Sasuke decided to ask him a question.
"Naruto, are you scared of germs?" the Uchiha asked curiously. Barely registering the conversation, a bleary blue eye cracked open.
"Nghuh?" he asked, confused at the sudden question and tired from the day's events which had consisted of Kaoru and Kamari running around with pocky and pranking the whole house. Gary had also had a helping hand at the fact that he was the one who'd bought the twins the supply. It wasn't until Juura had stepped in and bashed the twins head's together that they finally stopped.
"So, dobe, are you afraid of germs?" Sasuke repeated once more, sitting up beside his boyfriend. Shivering slightly at the sudden cold, Naruto sat up and pulled the blankets back around him.
"No, why do you ask?" he retorted. Sasuke frowned at the answer.
"You seem to be washing your hands after every single time you cough," Sasuke observed. Naruto fidgeted a bit but kept his gaze on his knees. He felt as though he'd been caught with his hand in the cookie jar- guilty.
"W-well, I've been wanting to make sure that I don't get ill again- seeing as the fumes are still in the air and everything," he replied quietly, not meeting onyx eyes. Sasuke glanced suspiciously at the blond for a moment before sighing and snuggling back down under the sheets with his back turned to the teen.
"Whatever," he replied irritably, knowing for a fact that Naruto wasn't telling him the truth. Hurt, Naruto settled back down, facing the opposite way to Sasuke before a series of shuddering coughs wracked through his body. He felt Sasuke tense beside him as he waited for the inevitable. Soon enough, Naruto sat back up and went into the bathroom to wash his hands. Little did Sasuke know that he was doing it to get rid of the blood -which was steadily growing in volume each time he coughed- off of his hands.
In the bathroom, Naruto was sitting on the white porcelain toilet seat, shaking. This time there had been quite a bit more blood. Hell, he was sure that some had dripped over the edge of his hands and splashed onto the bed-sheets and carpet on his way to the bathroom. He looked up into the mirror. Seeing that he still had a spot of blood on his lower lip, he wiped it away with his hand before going to wash the appendage again. He stood there in the bathroom in nothing but Sasuke's borrowed black t-shirt and his own orange boxers. It wasn't that he enjoyed lying to the raven; he just didn't want his partner to worry about what was going on with his body. Naruto didn't even know himself what was going on. Every day seemed to be getting blurrier- going faster- until he was sure that he couldn't remember what had happened yesterday. He just accepted anything the others said to be true. His stomach was constantly churning and he found it hard to keep his meals down, usually going into the bathroom when Sasuke was asleep to throw his dinner up. On one occasion- he remembered- Sasuke had walked in whilst he was throwing up his dinner. The dark haired boy had been concerned, rubbing the other's back as he threw up his ramen. After quickly reassuring his boyfriend, Naruto had flushed the toilet. There had been a lot of red.
Back in the bedroom, Sasuke was sat up and staring at the door to the en suit. Curious as to what his boyfriend was hiding, he crept out of the bed, sheets falling to the floor. His feet barely made a scuffing noise as he crept along to the porcelain haven. The white was reflecting the light brightly and Sasuke found himself squinting at the brightness. His hand stretched out to the door knob and he slowly pushed the door open as another wave of coughs sounded. Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise as he saw Naruto leaning over the sink, his arms struggling to keep him upright. In the reflection of the over-head mirror he observed that the once tan skin was bordering on pale.
"Naruto, are you okay?" Sasuke asked, coming closer. Blue eyes widened in surprise at being caught. From his position in front of the mirror, Naruto could see that Sasuke was paler than usual. As quick as a flash, Naruto had rinsed the sink and wiped his mouth before washing away the blood. The dregs of red swam down the plughole as Naruto wheeled around with a grin on his face, arms supporting him on the sink.
"Teme, I'm fine!" he grinned, completely erasing any evidence that he had been coughing half his lungs up a few seconds before. Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
"Don't lie, dobe," he growled. Naruto's grin vanished as Sasuke advanced on him. Worried about what Sasuke would do when he approached him, Naruto did the only thing he could think of. He threw himself forward and pulled the Uchiha in for a deep kiss. Sasuke was surprised to say the least but kept up with the blond, pulling him closer by the waist. He swiped the other's lower lip with his tongue, politely asking for entrance to which Naruto gave him willingly, moaning into it at the same time. The pink appendage probed the inside of the blond's well known mouth that the other had become accustomed to exploring but never tired of wandering about in. There was a different taste though, slightly coppery; all thoughts of strange tastes were wiped from his mind when he felt his boyfriend grind slightly against him. Naruto felt Sasuke's hands travel down from his waist to slide behind and cup his backside, pulling him closer to him. Naruto smiled into the kiss, thankful that the Uchiha had stopped asking him questions. Just as Sasuke had slid his hands inside the back of Naruto's orange boxer shorts, the wearer felt a fit of coughs trying to force their way out. He frowned, trying to get rid of them- he was enjoying his time with Sasuke in the bathroom.
Sasuke felt the frown against his lips and opened one of his eyes which had slipped closed to see that the blond was shaking. He pulled away and at that instant, a tan hand shot to the kissed lips and started to catch the cough. Sasuke backed away slightly, worried as he started to see some red dripping from the hand.
"Naruto!" he yelled, coming up to his boyfriend and pulling his hand away as blood dribbled down the tan chin.
"C-crap!" Naruto stuttered as he coughed more of the red liquid up. In an instant, Sasuke had his hand on Naruto's back and leading him over the sink and squeezed the hand that wasn't covered in blood.
"I'm going to get Tsunade- don't move!" he ordered. Naruto snorted before coughing.
"As if I'd be able to go anywhere anyways," he replied with a weak grin. A kiss was pressed to his temple as the Uchiha fled from the bathroom and down the corridors to Tsunade's room. Sasuke pounded on the wooden object known as a door for about 30 seconds before it was thrown open followed by a grumpy looking blonde.
"What is it Uchiha? She asked.
"Naruto's coughing up a lot of blood!" he panted. Golden eyes widened at the revelation and she pulled on a dressing gown before following the raven to the bathroom. Never before had Sasuke been so worried about anything apart from his brother. They arrived at the bathroom to see Naruto leaning against the sink, unconscious with blood dripping down his chin. Onyx pupils dilated with fear as he rushed towards his unconscious boyfriend. Tsunade rushed over as well and shoved Sasuke out of the way before putting the blond in the recovery position, causing blood to spill out of his mouth that was covered with the other male's not so long ago. That's when Sasuke started shaking.
"He'll need a lot of rest as well as antibiotics once every three six hours," Tsunade prescribed, pressing the small orange pills into the still shaking hand of the Uchiha.
After several moments of CPR, Naruto had coughed up another handful of blood before breathing heavily. Sasuke had practically stuck himself to the blond's side since then, never letting him out of sight. Naruto had smiled slightly before looking confused.
As soon as Sasuke left the room, Naruto turned to Tsunade.
"Baa-chan, what happened?" he asked quietly. Tsunade sighed and looked towards the blond as he gazed into her own golden irises.
"You passed out after choking on a substantial amount of blood. Let me ask you something, Naruto. How long has this been going on for?" she quizzed. Naruto squirmed and looked towards the door that Sasuke had disappeared out of.
"S-since I woke up on Christmas Eve." He whispered. Tsunade's eyes widened slightly before she sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose.
"Why didn't you tell us?" she replied. Naruto cast his eyes down to his knees before grabbing the edge of the blanket and fidgeting with it.
"I-I didn't want to worry anyone," he replied just as quietly as before. A weight rested on the edge of his bed and he looked up to see Tsunade sitting down.
"Naruto, I'm going to have to take some blood tests. I have a feeling that the drug you were injected with hasn't yet finished its course," she explained. Naruto swallowed as the older woman withdrew several syringes that needed to be filled with blood samples. In defeat, he rolled up his pyjama sleeve to allow the woman access. He winced slightly as he was pricked several times to withdraw blood. After she had finished, Tsunade stood up and observed her collection of samples.
"I'll get back to you with the results," she told him confidently- reverting back to her medic ways. Naruto nodded and laid back down into the soft cushions of his bed he was forced to have. He'd had to be separated from Sasuke in case it was infectious and if Naruto was honest, he was craving the black-haired teen- especially after their earlier session in the bathroom. A flush overtook his cheeks as he thought back to what had happened. A knocking at his door distracted him from his thoughts and he looked up.
"Come in," he replied weakly. The door opened slowly and a mop of blonde hair appeared. Blue eyes were clouded with confusion.
"Juura?" the male asked, confused as to why the woman would be visiting him. A small smile was twitching at her lips as she came in and closed the door. She sat on the edge of the bed in silence before finally it became too quiet for the blond male.
"So, uh, did you need anything?" he asked quietly, shifting a bit into a more comfortable position. She looked to him then away as if unsure how to go about what she was going to do.
"Naruto- you- you're ill, aren't you?" she asked. Naruto nodded and looked down to his sheets.
"And I'm guessing that you can't remember what happened yesterday," she added. Naruto hesitated before nodding. Juura sighed and smiled.
"Don't worry, it'll all be okay. Sooner or later Tsunade and Shizune will find a counter chemical and you'll be out of here. You'll be fine," she reassured once more before standing up and leaving. Naruto stared after her, jumping a bit as the automatic radio alarm went off, playing Ed Sheeran's 'Give me Love'. Naruto sighed before turning the volume down and settling under the blankets, intent on getting rest- just as Tsunade had said.
Outside, Sasuke was leaning against the wooden door, breathing heavily. Itachi walked out of his bedroom to see Sasuke sitting on the floor. With a sigh of sympathy, the older raven sat down beside his younger sibling.
"What's up Otouto?" he asked. Sasuke sighed stressfully before placing his head in his hands.
"I- I'm thinking of breaking up with Naruto," he confessed. Itachi's eyes widened.
"Why would you do that?" Itachi asked quietly, pretending that the confession hadn't unsettled him. Sasuke sighed once more before looking at something in the distance.
"Th-there's just too much baggage; he constantly needs looking after; he's clingy and to be honest, I just can't stick with him being so loud most of the time." He told the elder. Itachi almost glared at his brother but thought better of it. It was then that he realised that his younger brother looked ready to break down and cry- as if he didn't actually want to part with the blond that was beyond the door. His voice said he wanted it to end but his eyes juxtaposed his words infinitely.
"I suppose you'd better tell Naruto-kun all of this," he replied quietly before standing up and walking towards the kitchen. Sasuke sighed and stood up. He entered the room to see Naruto sleeping peacefully. A small frown overtook the features of the raven as he approached the bed and placed the antibiotics on the bedside table. He'd have to wait for Naruto to wake up before he could tell him anything. Apparently that wouldn't be long as the blond male shuffled a bit, the radio still playing lightly. A small smile overtook the tanned boy's face.
"Morning 'Suke," he whispered. Sasuke took a deep breath and hardened his eyes. Naruto sensed something was wrong and sat up a bit too fast, his vision swaying slightly but he made it better.
"Sasuke, what's wrong?" he asked, panicking. Sasuke flinched.
"Naruto, we need to talk," he replied. And what a talk it was to be.
Obito was walking along the road, fiddling with his goggles.
"Shisui, why couldn't we have at least taken the bus!" he complained. Shisui sniffed and turned away.
"I thought you'd appreciate the exercise!" Shisui replied as they walked further down the country road, passing a field of cows and a lake. Shisui shuddered at the scene of the lake. Obito sighed.
"You're still hung up about that incident?" he asked, putting a hand on his friend's shoulder, stopping him in his tracks. Shisui sighed.
"It's been what, ten years? I'm just a little apprehensive. But if the messenger did manage to get the fact out, he should be making the necessary preparations for us." He explained, trying to calm his fried nerves. Obito sighed before pulling Shisui into a hug.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I'm sure everything will be okay. This is a war remember- you need to keep a cool head." He reminded gently. He felt a small nod against him and arms come to wrap around his shoulders before breaking apart.
"Look man, I know this has to be so hard! But I want you to know: I'm here for you, you brave little soldier!" Obito sniffed. Shisui looked confused before a look of horror crossed his face as a hand cascaded onto his shoulder.
"No! Obito don-"
"I just want you to know that I acknowledge your pain. C'mere!" he continued sincerely before pulling the taller male flush against his chest, making him stoop quiet low. He practically strangled the taller male as he wrapped his arms around his hand neck, stroking his hair and looking around.
"You're too precious for this world!" he continued. Shisui knew there was only one way out of the predicament. He patted Obito awkwardly on the back.
"T-thanks for the hug but uh, I'll be okay!" he assured his friend. Obito stepped back and nodded. Everything was silent until Shisui snickered and the two continued on their way, a cow mooing in the distance. Obito sighed nostalgically and stretched his arms behind his head, walking along the road.
"So, Obito, what went on with you and Kakashi?" Shisui asked. A flinch was noticed with the goggled Uchiha. He just sighed.
"Things got a bit rocky between us after Rin passed away," he explained. Shisui looked to the ground.
"I still can't believe it's been fifteen years since that," he whispered. Obito nodded.
"That's how Kakashi received his injury," he explained. Shisui looked to him as they continued walking.
"What happened?" he questioned. Obito sighed and looked towards the distance.
"We were out hiking one day in the woods when a random gang just jumped us. They had knives and we had nothing. One of them took Kakashi hostage and told Rin and I to give them all our stuff. Kakashi obviously told us not to but before he could say anything, they'd stabbed him in his left eye." He explained. Shisui nodded for him to continue.
"Rin was scared and tried to fight back but after a while, they'd managed to cut her pretty bad. I- I couldn't do anything! I- I let her die!" he choked. Shisui looked shocked as he saw the salty tracks start to fall down his companion's cheeks. Sighing in sympathy, Shisui placed a hand on Obito's shoulder. The smaller male turned to look at him and was surprised to see a gentle smile on his face.
"Hey, you did all that you could. She died with honour. I know for a fact that those men were sent by Orochimaru. I looked you up whilst in Orochimaru's lair." He consoled. Obito nodded and Shisui's face took on a dark look.
"I also know what's happening to the Uzumaki-Namikaze kid: it ain't gunna be pretty to see either," he added. Both looked ahead, surprised to see the cottage in the near distance. Shisui smirked.
"Wow, time sure flies by when you're reminiscing," he joked. Obito snorted and wiped his eyes.
"Yeah. Now let's go see what dear old Kakashi and Itachi have laid out for us," he replied, walking up to the front door. He was about to knock on it when he heard a yell and a smash from inside. The two Uchiha's looked to one another before looking back to the door.
"I wonder what's going on," Obito mumbled, about to knock on the door again when it was tore open in front of them, followed by a series of yells. Shisui and Obito were knocked aside as a blond came rushing outside and into a small chalet that was located near to the house. After the blond came two redheads and a brunet. There was also a resounding slap from within the house. Shisui looked to Obito.
"We have the worst timing ever," he smirked. Obito snorted before walking into the house and shutting the door carefully.
"Hello, we're here for a Mr Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi!" Obito called. The elder Uchiha wheeled around on the spot and Kakashi looked up to see the two Uchihas standing in the doorway. Both had an identical look of shock on their face. In the background, Shisui recognised Sasuke with a red hand mark across his cheek, a blonde woman standing in front of him, her hand looking as though it had just crossed his face.
"Obito? Shisui?" Itachi asked uncertainly. The two just looked back to their long lost companions before grinning sheepishly.
"Bad timing?" they asked in sync.
"Terrible," both replied in the same manner. Iruka came rushing in along with Tsunade and Shizune.
"Kakashi, where's Naruto, Kaoru, Kamari and Gary? They shouldn't be outside until Tsunade's put the reverse chemical into the sprinkler system!" he gushed whilst Tsunade held a large bottle of liquid in her hand. Kakashi raised an eyebrow.
"Naruto and his friends are currently residing in the chalet. I think Sasuke ought to tell you why," Kakashi replied before turning his attention to his guests once more. Itachi was staring at anything but the man in front of him.
"Oh c'mon Itachi- is it really such a pain in the ass seeing me again?" he asked humorously. Itachi looked up to see his best friend smiling at him- it was as if nothing had changed between them. Kakashi smirked at Obito as they both watched the other two Uchiha's struggle to come to terms that they were meeting. Eventually, Obito became bored and turned to Kakashi.
"So, I'm guessing you know why we're here," he told Kakashi. The grey haired man nodded and leant on his hands.
"You want to talk to Naruto about the drug he was injected with and quite possibly leave with you for further testing," Kakashi stated. All eyes in the room swivelled to Kakashi as he said this.
"No-one's taking Naruto anywhere!" Sasuke yelled, angrily stalking up to Obito. A snarl sounded from behind the raven.
"Shut up, prick! You lost your ability to protect him when you broke up with him not five minutes ago!" Juura spat, marching up to the youngest Uchiha.
"You WHAT?" yelled Iruka and Tsunade at the same time. Sasuke looked to both of them. Iruka looked disbelieving whilst Tsunade was looking at him with something akin to disappointment on her face. Sasuke huffed and crossed his arms.
"Can I not end a relationship?" he asked sceptically. Juura snorted and hit the raven over the head once more before snatching the counter-chemical from Tsunade, a mask from the side and walking out the front door to install it into the sprinkler system.
"So as I was saying, we would like to talk to Naruto-kun," Obito told Kakashi. The grey haired man rubbed his face and looked his friend in the eye.
"I'd give him an hour or two to calm down first," he replied. Obito nodded. Throughout the whole process, Shisui and Itachi had yet to speak a word to each other- each knowing what the other would say.
I always knew Sasuke would turn out gay.
Yeah, well, so did I.
"Naruto!" Gary yelled, chasing after the blond male whilst being followed by the twins. The group had completely bypassed the chalet and now Naruto was running down the road which led away from the house. Blue eyes were blinded by tears and his lungs felt like Orochimaru had hold of them once more. He kept on running. He'd been such an idiot, thinking that it would've lasted. It only fuelled his desire to run even more and eventually Kamari and Kaoru fell back.
"You're not getting away that easily!" Gary yelled, sprinting faster and catching up to his friend and grabbing his wrist, pulling him back in the progress. Naruto stumbled slightly before trying to pull his wrist back.
"Let go!" the blond yelled. Kaoru and Kamari had caught up, catching their breath. Gary spun Naruto around on the spot and grabbed his shoulders.
"NO! Naruto, get a hold of yourself, now!" Gary ordered, looking right into his friend's eyes. Naruto refused, shaking his head. Gary slapped him across the cheek.
"NARUTO! Get. A. Grip!" he snarled, hand back on his shoulders, shaking the blond slightly.
"I'm such an idiot!" he yelled back. Kaoru gently prised Gary's hands from the blond's shoulders and replaced them with his own.
"Listen Naruto, I know it hurts now but you'll get over it!" he assured. Naruto sniffed and hiccupped before falling to his knees.
"BUT I LOVED HIM!" he yelled, scrubbing at his eyes. It was Kamari's time to do the comforting. He knelt down to Naruto's level. Unfortunately for Kamari, he had to do two lots of comforting- having to replace the final stage that was usually someone else's job.
"Hey, look at me," he gently whispered, placing a hand on the blond's cheek that was red from the earlier hit and wet with tears. Naruto slowly looked up.
"I don't really care about that son of a bitch, but he made you cry so I'm not going to stand for that. I understand that you said you loved him- and I know you still do and that you're most likely not going to get over it properly. C'mon, look at me," he ordered when Naruto had tilted his head down. Blue eyes locked with turquoise.
"Can I just say one more thing? I'm not gunna say, y'know, 'there's plenty more fish in the sea'; I'm not gunna say 'if you love him let him go'; and I'm not gunna bombard you with clichés- but what I will say is this: it's not the end of the world," he finished. Naruto looked up, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"I swear to God Kam that if a Zombie apocalypse starts up, I'm shoving you in first," he grinned weakly. Kamari smiled and helped Naruto up. Now there was the part of the comforting that no-one was used to- it was usually Cassie's job. Kamari stepped forward awkwardly and hugged the blond. A feeling of elation swept throughout Naruto's body as he held on tightly to the person hugging him, wishing that it was his now-ex. After a few minutes, Naruto pulled away and looked to his three friends who had helped him out of his fit of anger and sadness. He was still depressed about it- but he felt he could handle it a bit better. A beeping sounded from Kaoru's watch and he looked at it in surprise before pulling out a small bottle of medication.
"It's time to take your antibiotics Naruto," he explained. Naruto grinned.
"Yes mum," he exclaimed sarcastically, earning himself a hit over his head. With a bitter look on his face, Naruto swallowed the pills and looked down at the dirt road.
"I suppose we better be getting back to the house," he said quietly. Gary discreetly noticed how Naruto described it as a 'house' and not 'home' as he had once done when he was with Sasuke.
"Hey Naruto, we're here for you no matter what- we're your family," he told the blond before walking down the road and beckoning the others to follow- which they did.
As they walked down the dusty road, the three couldn't help but notice how forlorn Naruto looked- it was bound to be expected after all the things he and Sasuke had been through- but his look was of pure depression. He looked...defeated. They eventually arrived at the house to see that everyone was outside for a change. Tsunade and Shizune were looking triumphant as the sprinklers worked their magic, dispelling the poisonous gases. Sasuke was smirking and looked towards Naruto only to have the blond look away instantly. Shisui and Obito noticed this and sighed simultaneously.
"Well, he's calmed down now- may we talk to him?" Shisui asked Itachi. The elder Uchiha nodded and in an instant, the other Uchiha's had swept to Naruto and hoisted him from under the armpits, walking to the other end of the garden. Kaoru smirked and looked to Sasuke to see him seething at them handling Naruto. This confused the redhead and so whilst Naruto was being interrogated, he decided to do some interrogation of his own. He walked up to Sasuke and grabbed him at the elbow before dragging him into the chalet. Sasuke was cursing as he was being dragged away.
"Okay, spill." Kaoru ordered. Sasuke glared.
"What the fuck are you on about Kamizuki?" he asked frustrated. Kaoru glared.
"You know what I'm on about Uchiha! You break up with Naruto but you act as though you're still together! What the hell? Do you enjoy being a player?" Kaoru almost yelled. Sasuke growled.
"Listen dickwad, I didn't necessarily break up with him because I wanted to, I broke up with him because it was the smartest thing to do!" he growled. Kaoru scoffed.
"How am I meant to believe that?" he almost yelled at the dense raven. Sasuke snarled.
"The fact that he's an Uzumaki-Namikaze and affiliated with the Uchiha clan means bad things. He's currently incapacitated with a weakness which will just make him a target! I don't want him to get hurt!" he yelled, his voice cracking on the last word. Kaoru's eyes widened as he saw the unshed tears in Sasuke's eyes and he collapsed onto the sofa, Sasuke following suit.
"Fuck," they both hissed, not knowing what to do. Kaoru looked to the distressed Uchiha who was sat with his head in his hands.
"You really love him, don't you?" he asked the Uchiha. Sasuke sighed and nodded before looking to Kaoru.
"Kao, give me your word that you won't tell him why I broke up with him," he told the redheaded twin. Kaoru nodded before standing up.
"My word, Sasuke, that I shall never reveal the best of you? If you insist..." He said sincerely. Sasuke smirked.
"Will you guys ever stop quoting other things?" Kaoru smirked and turned back from the door which he was heading towards.
"Only when you stop loving Naruto," he replied with a smile. Sasuke snorted.
"That was so cheesy- but most probably true," he sighed with a smirk.
"You'd better believe it," Kaoru quipped. Sasuke's face then took on a thoughtful look.
"I'll tell him when the time comes," he whispered. Kaoru nodded.
"It better be soon- I've never seen him look so depressed," he told the raven before nodding and walking out the door.
Naruto looked up at the two in front of him.
"Who are you?" he asked curiously. Obito looked to Shisui.
"Well, I'm Obito Uchiha and this is Shisui Uchiha," Obito explained, fiddling with his goggles that sat atop his head. Naruto nodded.
"So what do you want?" he asked, crossing his arms across his chest. Obito and Shisui looked at one another and sighed.
"It's about the drug you were injected with. We'd like to take you back to our place and run some tests," Obito explained, explaining whilst making gestures with his hands. Naruto looked at the quizzically for a moment before he became sceptic.
"How do I know that you're not trying to kidnap me?" he asked, squinting. Shisui snorted.
"Yes, of course we'd kidnap you when both Itachi and Kakashi have our phone numbers and now know where we live," he replied sarcastically. Naruto blushed slightly before looking at the two.
"I- I guess it wouldn't hurt," he reluctantly agreed. Obito grinned.
"Sweet! Well, you'll need to pack your things and say goodbye because we're leaving this evening!" he exclaimed. Shisui looked towards the goggled man.
"This evening? What the hell, Obito? The plan was to get him and go!" he stressed. Obito grinned sheepishly.
"Kakashi practically begged me to stay for dinner. I heard that Kisame's going to be cooking lasagne!" he drooled. Shisui snarled.
"FOOL! It's awkward enough for me as it is!" he yelled, smacking the other male on the head. Naruto looked at the two with a sceptic eye. They were going to be conducting vital research? He didn't have a good feeling about it at all. He just shrugged and walked in the direction of his room to start packing for staying with the two crazy Uchihas. As he got into his room, he sighed depressingly. He'd been planning on moving out of this room earlier in the day after Sasuke had-
No, he couldn't think of that. Further tests were going to be done and he'd find out what was wrong with him. He nodded securely and continued packing things into a large orange rucksack. He'd just zipped it up and about to exit through the bedroom door when he ran into something. Blue locked with onyx for a split second before the blue became downcast, a blush appearing on the owner's cheeks. Naruto would never admit it but he felt humiliated. He'd allowed himself to become so involved with the Uchiha that he felt as if it were his fault that they broke up. He just continued but then a hand snatched his, linking their fingers. Heart skipping a beat, he turned around to see Sasuke looking at their entwined hands.
"I- I still want you Naruto, but it's for the best," he whispered before letting go and staring towards the window.
"Don't go with them," he whispered. Naruto tilted his head.
"Why not? They're going to find out what's wrong with me!" he protested, actually speaking to the Uchiha. Sasuke flinched at the slightly angry tone before turning on the spot and pulling his ex in for a kiss. At first Naruto struggled but soon melted into it, wrapping his arms around Sasuke's neck. They savoured the moment, Sasuke tenderly stroking Naruto's whiskered cheeks. They broke apart for a moment and Sasuke gazed into saddened blue eyes.
"Please stay," Sasuke whispered and Naruto nodded gently, holding onto the raven. Sasuke smiled slightly and Naruto returned it before it disappeared.
"We're not getting back together, are we?" he asked sadly. Sasuke flinched.
"I'd like to, but you're too much of a target already. To be affiliated with me just makes it worse," he explained. A defiant look took over Naruto's face.
"I don't care about that!" he yelled, grabbing Sasuke's hand as he went to turn away. A look of shock flitted across Sasuke's face.
"W-what?" he asked. Naruto pouted.
"You heard me teme! I don't care about what happens to me, I don't want this to be the end!" he said, stubbornly crossing his arms. Sasuke smiled slightly and looked down.
"You don't know what you're saying," he whispered. Naruto huffed and put his arms down to his sides.
"I do know what I'm saying. I don't care what happens to me. I love you Sasuke," he whispered. Sasuke's head snapped up at the confession and he looked at Naruto, seeing nothing but devotion, love and truth in the ocean pools.
"N-Naruto, what do you-" he was cut off by the blond pushing him down onto his bed and straddling him.
"I said I love you, you bastard! I'm not going to let anything come between us!" he exclaimed, crashing his lips onto his lover's. Sasuke was taken by surprise but eventually responded, pulling the blond closer by the hips, causing friction between the two of them. Panting, Naruto broke apart.
"We're wearing too many clothes," he whispered huskily before sitting up and pulling his top off and then his shorts, leaving him in just his orange boxers, encouraging Sasuke to do the same by tugging at the hem of his shirt. All too enthusiastically, Sasuke ripped his blue t-shirt off and then his black jeans, pulling Naruto back down by his shoulders for a more desperate and clashing kiss. Soon Sasuke had moved from his lover's mouth and too his neck, kissing and nibbling on his way down, making Naruto groan slightly. He flipped them over so that he was between Naruto's legs and on top of him. Enjoying this new position, Sasuke ground his hips against Naruto's causing the blond to gasp in pleasure whilst the raven sucked on his neck, leaving a large hickey.
"You're mine, Naruto, no-one else's," Sasuke growled, moving his hands sensually down to his newly-reinstated boyfriend's hips and stomach, earning a small moan from the one beneath him.
"I'm yours," Naruto whispered back, pulling Sasuke in for another more passionate kiss.
WARNING! HERE BE CITRUS/SMUT!
Their tongues danced with one another as they lay on the bed with one another. Another gasp came from the blond as Sasuke cupped his growing erection in his pants and the raven grinned on receiving the reaction.
"Do you want me, Naru?" he whispered once more. He saw the blond nod, his eyes squeezed closed as the male on top began to gently rub what his hands were grasping.
"Ngh, Sasuke!" he gasped, grinding his hips into the hand before grabbing his wrist and pulling it away. Sasuke was confused. Had he not wanted this? Hs answer came when Naruto sat up and pushed him onto the bed and pulled the raven's pants down revealing the large hard-on his boyfriend was now sporting. Naruto swallowed before covering it with his mouth. Sasuke gasped at the sensation of his manhood being surrounded by something wet and warm. He grasped at the bed-sheets and groaned when Naruto started to move up and down, his tongue performing tricks that even he himself couldn't have thought of in his wildest dreams.
"N-Naruto, go faster," he ordered and the blond happily complied and almost gasped when he felt Sasuke's hand in his hair, pulling him down further. Just as Sasuke was about to release, he pulled the blond away from him.
"I want to be inside you when I come," he whispered into his boyfriend's ear. Naruto shuddered at the tone, and groaned when he felt a hand once more on his groin.
"Do you want me to take you, Naru?" he whispered, nibbling on the earlobe that was so near his mouth.
"T-take me," Naruto whispered and instantly gasped when he was pushed back gently onto the bed. Sasuke smiled at the blond before kissing him gently on the mouth. He leaned over his boyfriend to the bedside table and withdrew a bottle of lube- being the hopeful he was before the whole breaking-up fiasco had begun- and squeezed some onto his fingers. Naruto looked warily at his boyfriend.
"Sasuke?" he asked nervously. Sasuke looked up and smiled reassuringly.
"It'll make it less painful, I promise. It'll hurt at first but it'll get better," he reassured. Naruto relaxed a bit more and nodded. Sasuke turned to him.
"Put your legs over my shoulders a minute," Sasuke told Naruto. The other willingly complied and Sasuke leant closer, inserting one finger into the pert hole. Naruto gasped slightly.
"Are you okay?" Sasuke asked. Naruto nodded.
"It doesn't feel too bad," he admitted. Sasuke smirked, adding a second finger before making some scissoring motions. There was a small groan from the teen beneath him and Sasuke looked down to see a small amount of discomfort on his face. Sasuke stroked the blond's cheek with his free hand and smiled.
"Get ready for the third one," he told him. Naruto nodded and whimpered a bit as the third finger was inserted. Sasuke shushed him with soothing kisses to the thighs that hung over his shoulders. Naruto stopped trembling before gently pushing down onto the fingers and moaning slightly.
"Sasuke, I want you," he moaned. Willingly, Sasuke pulled his fingers out- enjoying the moan of protest as he did so- before rubbing his hand over his erection, covering it in lube. He sat Naruto up near his lap, his tip posed at the entrance.
"You ready?" he whispered, kissing the blond on the side of the mouth. Naruto nodded in reply and gasped as Sasuke slid inside him. He winced slightly at the feeling and Sasuke gave him time to adjust.
"Sasuke, move. Now." Naruto ordered in a whisper. Sasuke pushed him down onto the bed before pulling out nearly all the way and thrusting back in. A loud moan emitted from the blond beneath him which just turned the raven on even more. He wanted to make more delicious sounds come from Naruto's mouth. He wanted to be the cause of the climax of the one beneath him. He wanted to be with this person no matter what. He loved him: unconditionally.
"I love you Naruto," he whispered as he thrust gently in and out of his boyfriend, causing short pants. A few tears escaped the eyes of the teen beneath him.
"I- I love you too Sasuke," he gasped and groaned loudly.
"D-do that again Sasuke!" he groaned. Knowing what had just happened, Sasuke angled his thrusts until he had the blond moaning for it harder and faster, almost screaming in pleasure.
"S-Sasuke, I think I'm going to-" he didn't finish his sentence before Sasuke had grabbed his erection and started pumping in time with his thrusts. The raven could feel the heat coiling in his abdomen as he watched Naruto's face look so flushed with pleasure.
"SASUKE!" Naruto yelled before he came, his seed spilling over Sasuke's hand. Sasuke couldn't hold on any longer, releasing his load into the blond. The two were panting, still coming down from their climax.
Okay, straight guys can open their eyes now!
"W-wow," Naruto panted and grinned at the raven haired teen that was still leaning over him; still inside him. Sasuke smiled before pulling out and lying down gently on top of his blond. In a moment of affection, Sasuke had taken Naruto's hand and kissed his knuckles before kissing his ring finger.
"I love you Naruto," he told the blond once more. Naruto smiled a blinding smile that contained a few tears.
"I love you too Sasuke- but I kinda need a shower- I feel sticky," he grinned. Sasuke smirked before kissing the blond's temple. Naruto sat up, Sasuke still leaning on him, and kissed him lightly on the lips. He winced slightly as he stood up. A whistle from the bed had Naruto glaring playfully.
"Teme, just don't jump me whilst I'm in the shower!" he yelled, walking into the en-suite bathroom. Sasuke chuckled.
"I make no promises!" he yelled before standing up himself and running into the bathroom with many protesting yells from the blond.
It was awkward at dinner. Apparently Naruto had been pretty vocal and the whole house had had to evacuate at one point. Shisui and Obito sat there, glancing at both teens that seemed to be glowing.
"So Naruto, you were bottom I take it?" Kaoru asked, causing Shikamaru to choke on his lasagne. Chouji patted him on the back. This one question had then encouraged the others to ask more.
"How big is Sasuke?"
"What position did you use?"
"Did you use protection?"
"So Naruto isn't dickless then?"
"Did you get it on tape?" asked an overly-eager Kakashi. Everyone looked at him and he shrugged.
"What? It could've sold for a lot!" he explained. Everyone sighed at his antics and Naruto just sat there, his cheeks a lovely shade of magenta. Obito and Shisui sighed- they realised that now Sasuke and Naruto were back together, Naruto wouldn't as be as willing to go with them for the testing. After all, they had Tsunade here who was a medical genius in her own respects. Kisame sighed and looked towards Itachi.
"Itachi-koi, do you think Sasuke'll be moving out soon?" he asked. Itachi frowned and looked towards his little brother. He knew that they couldn't live together forever but at this current time where Orochimaru was raging war against them, it was hard to let the youngest Uchiha out of sight. He contemplated his little brother's future and glanced around the table. Kabuto and Ino were seriously hitting it off, maybe even flirting and Sakura was now engaging Shisui into a deep conversation. Obito was talking good-naturedly to Kakashi and Iruka about- judging by Kakashi's blush and Obito's laugh- a highly embarrassing tale of youth. Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi were in their own little corner talking about whatever children did this day and age. Konohamaru was constantly glancing to Sasuke though as if afraid that he'd get up and eat him with the wrong look. Sasuke himself was eating his lasagne with one hand whilst the other was most probably on Naruto's knee in a comfort gesture. Naruto was talking enthusiastically to Gary about what he wanted to do when the whole thing was over- which included eating 20 litres of ramen in one sitting- and Kaoru and Kamari were gazing at the two lovers with evil grins on their faces, obviously planning a prank.
Once more Itachi sighed and looked to Kisame.
"Everyone's growing up so fast, aren't they," he smiled gently. Kisame smiled back, taking Itachi's hand.
"They all do eventually. You're gunna have to accept that one day Sasuke and Naruto are going to be living together doing the freaky-deaky every night," he grinned wickedly when Itachi shuddered.
"As much as I approve of Sasuke's relationship, doesn't mean I want to envision him having sex with another male," he replied. Kisame smirked and turned back to eating his dinner. Tsunade looked up from her diagrams that she had pulled out after finishing her dinner and Shizune looked worried.
"All right everyone shut your traps!" Tsunade yelled. Everyone fell silent at this and Sasuke took hold of Naruto's hand under the table. Tsunade looked to Kakashi who just nodded in return.
"I want to talk to you guys about attacking Orochimaru's fortress once more," she told them seriously. An eerie hush fell at the table- not even the scraping of cutlery was heard.
"Wh-what? I'm sorry it almost sounded as if you wanted to risk your lives going back to the place where Cassie-ane was shot!" Konohamaru growled as he stood up. Tsunade looked towards the small boy with shock.
"Konohamaru- kun!" she exclaimed. Konohamaru growled.
"No! I'll not sit by any longer! I could handle you guys sneaking off but it crossed the line as soon as Naruto-nii fell ill and Cassie-ane died!" he yelled. Moegi nodded fervently next to him and Udon folded his arms across his chest.
"We're teenagers, Tsunade-baa-chan! We can handle a little bit of rough-housing but if you guys go off without all of us one more time, we'll personally follow you!" Konohamaru ground out. Naruto smiled slightly at the brunet who had- in his scuffle- knocked his plate of lasagne to the floor. Tsunade smiled slightly.
"You really are Sarutobi's grandson. I'd expect nothing less than complete and utter obedience. This is dangerous," she warned the teenagers who just nodded in response. Shikamaru just yawned- emitting a small 'troublesome teenagers' as he did so. Kakashi sighed and stood up, gaining the attention of everyone in the room.
"I'll contact Sasori and the others after we've gone through this. We're going to attack in five days. There is no room for failure or distractions," he added the last part, smirking at the younger Uchiha who just held onto his boyfriend's hand tighter.
"The time of attack will be at twenty-one hundred hours- that's nine pm for you slow ones out there," he added. Naruto scowled as Kakashi looked at him. A small grin overtook the older man as he then turned to Obito and Shisui.
"You two will have to return without Naruto I'm afraid. Say that we've evacuated the area if you must but Orochimaru can't find out about our plans," he told them seriously. The two extra Uchiha's nodded in seriousness, Shisui catching Itachi's eye.
"Seeing as this is the first time the three youngest will be joining us, we'll make protecting them a priority, along with making sure that Naruto doesn't get captured. We may also need some extra help from outsiders," he relayed off. Naruto's head snapped up.
"We could get Gaara, Temari and Kankuro to help us," he exclaimed. Iruka looked up.
"That'd be great!" he exclaimed. Naruto grinned and pulled out his phone to text the redhead.
"We'll also have Jiraiya on our side this time!" Tsunade supplied. Kakashi nodded.
"Neji mentioned something about having a friend and his master wanting revenge. I'll give him a call later," Shikamaru spoke up, surprising everyone with his input. Sai hummed appreciatively.
"I guess I could rally up some old friends of mine," he mused, tapping a pencil against his chin.
"You have friends?" Gary asked, shocked. Sai shot him an irritated look before turning on the brunet.
"I have more friends than you do, sexy," Sai replied, winking at the now mortified boy. Kaoru snickered before turning to Kamari.
"I'm sure Stone and the gang would be interested," he quipped. Kamari nodded.
"God knows that Stone would be interested," he snickered.
"Ryoumen would follow you to the end of the world and back too!" he added, earning a hit over his head.
"Dude, that's just freaky!" he replied. Kamari snickered.
"Rooooad raaaage!" he sing-songed. Kaoru blushed before remaining silent. Kakashi smiled at the fact that everyone was willing to invite more people to storm the castle. Iruka also stood up.
"I have a few friends from college that'd most probably want to join in too," he added. Everyone was silent after that.
"Iruka-sensei has friends?" Moegi asked, tilting her head. Iruka blushed at that before growling.
"That's it- because of that none of you kids get pudding!" he roared, causing a few tears to be shed, courtesy of Naruto and Kaoru. Itachi chuckled.
"I also have some friends that would be interested," he added. Kakashi shook his head.
"How on earth are we all going to get down there without being noticed?" he mused aloud. Surprisingly, it was Naruto who came up with the solution.
"We could walk- camouflage ourselves," he suggested. Kakashi hummed in thought.
"That's not a bad idea," he admitted. Naruto grinned at the praise before turning to Sasuke. They had a much better chance this time and this time, they were going to win!
Gah! The ending was so rushed TT_TT Well, the smut/lemon...THAT WAS MY FIRST EVER ONE! I've gotta say, I'm pretty damn proud at how it turned out too! Normally everyone's like "Gah my lemon sucked- it was my first attempt". Me? I'm more like: Holy shit I thought I did freaking epic! BOO YA! I suppose it helps when you do read quite a lot of lemons ^^; Not that I- uh read lemons constantly or anything XD Seriously though... only a few chapters left until the end... (¬¬ I have a good feeling about this fic- this has been my longest standing one and I'm so proud of it! I don't care if people say it sucks, I love it! I also loved my lemon! I'm so proud of myself right now! *cries Gai-sensei tears* I also made it a treat by writing 8,000 words! XD YESH!
Next Time!
As the Freedom Fighters reach the deadline for the final fight, something's happening to Naruto- something strange. Shisui and Obito fear they may have been too late to rescue the boy. One thing is clear- Experiment Kyuubi is now in progress.
