Chapter 3

Thunder Storms

Time to cash in on my part of the bet teme', he thought as he slid out of bed and hurriedly to his bedroom door to open it. He stuck his head out the door to see if there were any guards in the hall, or anyone else that might stop him from roaming the halls. Once he saw that there was no one there, he crept down the long halls. However, once he had gotten about half way down the long corridor, from his room, he quickly ducked behind a large vase to avoid being seen by a guard wearing a headband as a cap, leaving his hair sticking out from underneath and a senbon in his mouth come from around the far corner. 'Genma-san, man if he catches me I'm finished!' Naruto thought as Genma continued down the hall, passed the hiding blonde and turned the corner. Once he was out of sight, Naruto quietly continued down the hall.

As he continued down the hall and around the corner Genma had came from, he suddenly stopped once he heard voices coming from Iruka's room, 'what is Iruka sensei still doing up and who is he talking to?' he thought and stepped closer to the door to eavesdrop. It was almost 1am and usually the only persons that would or should be up at this time, were the guards, who were as seen already on constant patrol of the huge castle.

"Why are you still here?" Iruka said to someone.

"Because I want to play love, why else do you think I came here today?" Another man answered.

"Kakashi, I'm not in the mood for your 'Games' tonight." Iruka sighed, which sounded somewhat shaky. 'Why is Kakashi sensei in there? Probably planning some sort of game for tutoring.' Naruto thought, and then made the mistake of groaning loudly at the thought, which made the now talking Kakashi cut his sentence short.

"Are you sure my Iruka? I'm sure I can cha-" Kakashi stopped once he heard a groan outside the door. "What was that?" Kakashi questioned.

'Crap!' Naruto thought and ran down the hall only to quickly duck behind yet another vase, just as Kakashi opened the bedroom door and stepped into the hall.

"The young heirs are asleep are they not Iruka?" Kakashi asked as Iruka came to stand beside him, Naruto saw that he was shirtless and had a red mark on his chest that looked like it might have been a bug bite or a scratch.

"Yes, they should be or better yet, they better be." Iruka threatened as he walked back into his room. He knew not to suspect the any of the guards of eaves dropping, well maybe with the exception of Genma, but that wasn't very likely, seeing as they had just previously conversed with him and sent him back to his patrolling. If Genma valued his life, he wouldn't eaves drop on the fondling couple with the chance that Iruka would catch him.

"You're so cold my little dolphin. Let's see if I can change that." Kakashi practically purred and slapped the retreating brunettes butt.

"Kakashi!" Iruka hissed and closed the door.

'What was that all about?' Naruto thought as he continued down the hall and rounded yet another corner, once he rounded the corner he continued just a little further down until he came to the room he was looking for. He thought about knocking on the door, but quickly decided against that thought, for he might wake the wrong person up or bring a guard to investigate said noise. So, he quietly opened the door and stepped in. As he closed the door behind him lightning flashed, efficiently lighting the whole room up, and crackled loudly causing Naruto to frighteningly jump and cringe into the door. The prince in the bed only shifted slightly at the crackling thunder. However, Naruto couldn't tell whether he had been awaken by the booming thunder or not from where he was standing. 'Is he asleep? And if he is, how could he sleep through this storm?' Naruto thought as he crossed the huge room to the equally huge bed and stopped at the foot of it.

As he looked into the bed he could now see that the prince was indeed still asleep, he then moved quietly over to the edge of the bed and looked at the pale, raven haired prince sleeping soundly. 'Wow, he is so pretty when he is sleeping." Naruto thought and gazed at him, 'Wait, what did I just think, I just thought how pretty he looked. Well, he is pretty good looking, his whole family is.' Naruto thought. He softly shook his head and reached over to shake the pale figure gently, but the raven didn't budge to such gentle efforts. He then shook the raven slightly harder, until finally Sasuke stirred and blinked his eyes sleepily.

"Naruto?" Sasuke questioned his voice full of sleep.

"No, I am Naruto's ghost." The blue eyed prince joked at Sasuke's question and proceeded to roll his eyes at the foolish inquiry.

"What are you doing in here dobe? Do you know what time it is?" Sasuke asked and glared at the tanned prince that interrupted his peaceful sleep, though the glare was only half hearted as he was still half asleep.

"Oh shut up teme, I am here on behalf of our little bet, it is time for you do me one favor." Naruto said and smirked in the dim lit room, choosing to ignore the weak glare directed at him.

"Ugh, Naruto! Can this wait until the morning?" Sasuke grumbled and turned away from the whisker faced prince and pull the covers up over his head. Only to have said prince, yank the covers off of him.

"No, it cannot, now get up!" Naruto whispered and pounced on the edge of the bed in another attempt to get the groggy prince up.

"Dobe!" Sasuke hissed, but none the less sat up and slid to sit on the edge of the bed, "What is it?" Sasuke grumbled and glared at the smirking blonde, he simply looked at the sun-kissed boy in front of him, 'Hn, he looks different, he looks… sexy. Hn, but he always has been cute.' Sasuke thought and ran his hand through his duck butt hair.

"Come with me." Naruto told the sleepy looking raven. He then turned and headed back towards the double doors of the bedroom, mainly in an attempt to hide the slowly growing blush on his cheeks.

Sasuke simply sighed and pushed himself off the high bed, then followed Naruto to the bedroom door. Once they reached the door Naruto motioned too Sasuke to keep quiet, as he opened the door, he slowly stuck his head out and quickly looked down the hall. Once he saw that the coast was clear, he turned back around and motioned for Sasuke to follow him. As the two sneaky princes' tip-toed down the hall and back around the corner, they neared Iruka's room again. As they got closer to the door they could once again hear faint noises coming from the room, almost as if someone was moaning, not painful moans but sound they couldn't place, although Naruto thought it sounded somewhere along the lines of when he and the perverted raven had been basically making-out in front of his room earlier. The two princes' quietly stopped in front of the door and looked at each other with puzzled looks.

"What is that noise?" Sasuke whispered Naruto, who gave him a look as if to say 'like I would know' or 'You should know.'

"I don't know, Kakashi sensei was in there when I came by earlier though." Naruto told the raven in an equally hushed voice.

"Why?" Sasuke asked again, which in turn earned him another exasperated look from the blonde prince.

"Does it look like I know teme?" Naruto grumbled at Sasuke and punched him lightly in the arm.

"Well this is your castle dobe you should know what's going on here." Sasuke said and returned the punch with a light push.

"Well I don't, now shut up! I am going to crack the door so we can see what they are doing." Naruto told the raven, who only shook his head and yawned lightly.

Naruto carefully and ever so quietly turned the door knob, then pushed the door open, thankful that none of the doors in the castle creaked. He opened the door just enough for both of the princes' to see the naked backside of Kakashi on Iruka's bed, who was hunched over the back of Iruka. Iruka, who was on his hands and knees, was just as equally naked as the silver haired instructor. As the two peeping princes' watched in shock as Kakashi glided back only to thrust forth back into Iruka, they now understood that it was the brunette instructor who was doing the moaning they had heard outside, well most of it anyways, while Kakashi simply grunted with each thrust he made into the quivering brunette. As Kakashi grunted with each trust, Iruka moaned even more until the white haired instructor put two of his fingers into said brunettes' mouth to suck, which in turn caused his moans to be muffled.

The shocked princes' hastily closed the door, not forgetting to be quiet and raced down the rest of the hall and around the corner until they came to Naruto's room. They quickly opened and closed the door, then stood there panting heavily and tried to process what they'd just seen.

"What… the heck… was that?" Naruto panted, though it was pretty obvious, even to him. He just didn't want to comprehend it right away.

"It looked… like they were…." Sasuke panted and trailed off, though he also knew exactly what they were doing. From what Itachi had told him obviously, though how his older brother knew, he himself didn't even want to know.

As they still stood by the door, the lightning and thunder continued furiously. Which made Naruto jump and remember why he had brought Sasuke back to his room, it wasn't that he was afraid of the thunder anymore, but he knew that after hearing his parents talking he didn't want to sleep by himself.

"I did not know Kakashi and Iruka-sensei were like that." Naruto said, having finally caught his breath.

"I know, I was wondering why Kakashi-sensei was here today. I guess we know why now." Sasuke said and went to sit in a chair by the floor to ceiling window, Naruto followed only to sit across from him on his bed.

"Well, now having seen that. Why did you call me down here dobe?" Sasuke asked the lounging blonde, already knowing the answer.

"Uh well…. I..." Naruto mumbled.

"That is not an answer dobe." Sasuke sighed. He looked at the blonde prince and noticed something, "Are you blushing?" He continued and cocked his head at his question.

"No! Shut up teme!" Naruto blushed even more and turned his face away from the staring raven. He then felt his bed sink beside him and looked over to see the pale onyx eyed boy next to him.

"Naruto," Sasuke said quietly, having already known why Naruto asked him to come. This wasn't the first time naruto had asked him to sleep with him when the weather was like this, but he knew Naruto hated to ask.

"Yeah," The whisker faced prince sighed, "It's just that my parents came in when they thought I was asleep and I heard them talking about how I use to run to their room when it was like this outside." Naruto admitted and motioned to the window at the heavily falling rain and rolling thunder.

"Dobe, you do not have to be ashamed about asking me to sleep with you, especially during times like this, I understand." Sasuke said and mussed the sulking prince's hair.

Naruto Laughed, internally grateful that the pale prince understood his request, and climbed further up onto his bed, Sasuke slid across to the other side and laid beside him.

"Don't you get tired of doing this whenever the weather is like this?" Naruto asked as they settled beneath the large comforter.

"No, I don't. Why would I?" Sasuke answered and in return questioned the cerulean eyed blonde.

"Well, because I usually always wake you up. I know you'd much rather still be sleeping." Naruto answered while looking so crestfallen, that is made the ravens heart clench uncomfortably in his chest. Sasuke then pulled the sulking prince into a tight embrace.

"Dobe, I'd much rather be here with you when you are frightened, than be sleeping." Sasuke admitted and ran a hand through Naruto's sunshine locks.

"Teme." Naruto muttered as the previous blush he had been trying to conceal broke across his face and he buried his face into the ravens midnight blue silk pajamas. 'He's always saying such embarrassing things! But, I guess that just part of being my best friend.' He thought and smiled to himself knowing that the raven wouldn't be able to see him.

"Hn." Sasuke smirked and placed his head on top of the blondes. 'He truly is silly, he should know by now that I'd do anything for him.' He thought and smirked into sunlight.

As the two princes' lay there in peaceful silence, other than the raging storm outside, they were still in each other's embrace very contempt. Neither knew whether the other was yet asleep or not, but Naruto felt he should get in one last word or two before he fell asleep, which would be at any moment as he fought to keep his eyes open.

"Thanks Sasuke." Naruto mumbled as he started to fall asleep.

"No problem, Naruto." Sasuke said, 'Anytime.' He thought and pulled Naruto closer into him, with his arms still encasing the blonde. He picked up doing this whenever naruto would ask him to sleep with him.

The first time he did this was when Naruto cried quietly during a horrible thunder storm a few months after the summer festival, when he turned six. Though to say that Sasuke was only somewhat surprised when Naruto first scrambled into his bed during a storm would be an understatement, the only reason Naruto hadn't dragged pale prince back to his room was because his parents had decided to visit the Uchihas' Castle, just barely two months after the tragic event had happened. The blonde prince had came all but sprinting into the ravens bedroom and scurried into his bed with tears streaming down his just barely healed scarred cheeks. The pale prince dare not to leave the shivering tanned prince alone in order to seek out their parents, in fear that he would be even more frightened to be left alone again. So, he instead hugged his best friend close to him in hopes that he would calm down enough to realize that there was nothing to fear. Even since then, no matter which friends' castle they were at, whenever it stormed Naruto would seek the raven out and they would fall asleep in a peaceful embrace.

While Sasuke laid there remembering, he couldn't help but to finally realize that it shouldn't be storming like it was, considering that it was December. The snow that had been falling just this morning would surely turn to dangerously slick ice, come the morning. He then sighed quietly and decided to just follow the blonde into, what he hoped would be, a peaceful sleep.

As Naruto fell asleep, he felt Sasuke kiss the top of his head. Though for all he knew, he could've dreamt that. He was soon having the reoccurring nightmare about the horrible night, four years ago.

The castle had finally fallen silent with all the princes' and princesses finally asleep, with the exception of the patrolling guards. Though, unknown to the guards or anyone else in the Kingdom, there were two figures intently watching the Namikaze Castle from a far and safe distance within a small inn in the castle town.

"Hmm, it has been quite a while since we've last come here." One of the shadowed figures said as they were seated by a window facing towards the castle.

"Last time we were on good terms with Namikaze, well, at least you were. I still am." The second shadowed figure said from across the room on the only bed in the room.

"How lucky you are," The first figure seethed and glared at the lounging shadow, "Though, I suppose it is good that at least one of our identities is still unknown to them." The first figure continued and turned back to looking out the window at the castle, which was just barely visible through the pouring rain.

"Hahah, don't be upset. After all, I could have left you to rot in that prison, unlike our 'Boss' at that time, I actually care." The second figure chuckled from the bed.

"You of all people care? Ha! Don't make me laugh." The first figure barked out a harsh laugh and move from the window in favor of a chair at the only table in the room.

"Well then, put it like this. Be lucky that I still have a strong title to uphold, having said that, if I'm even caught meeting with you like this we will both be in deep waters." The second figure threatened.

"Hmm, yes, that would put a rather damper on things I suppose. Though, I'm sure you have some loyal subjects that would just love to be your scapegoat." The first figure mentioned. He was now sitting at the small round table, not really paying much attention to the conversation anymore, sifting through piles of papers, scrolls and the occasional photo.

"There is no need to keep going through those reports. The messages will remain the same no matter how many times you look at them." The second figure said and sat up to sit on the edge of the bed, he eyed the other figure that was only partially visible from the lone candle on the table. This had been, possibly, his tenth time going through those documents within the hour, though the second figure wasn't necessarily keeping count.

"That may be so, however, it also doesn't hurt any to be well informed." The first figure informed the other.

"What more do we need to know? It's not like we do not already know enough as it is, especially you, I'm sure you're already well informed." The second figure mentioned. He then stood to walk over to the table and proceeded to pick up a photo.

"Be that as it may, many years have passed. Some things are sure to have changed." The first figure sighed and placed the documents back on the table. While leaning back in the chair, the first figure eyed the second one as they looked over the photo they had picked up.

"Indeed, things do seem to have changed. Only minimally though, they seem to be faring much better now, honestly, I figured it would take much more time for them to break out of their shattered states. Not to mention that they actually survived, this just further proves that they are perfect for our task at hand." The second figure admitted and flicked the picture back towards the table, "That will only last a few more years, before their psyche and lives are threatened again." They continued with a devilish smirk.

"Must you be so careless with all things that do not interest you?" the first figure muttered as they caught the picture before it floated into the flame of the candle and ignored that last remark.

"Must you be so attached to nonessentials?" the second figure retorted and headed towards the door, "If all you are going to do is look at that information and pictures, then I suppose I no longer need to be here, now do I?" The second figure continued. They paused at the door awaiting a reply they were sure was coming.

"Oh, am I not paying you enough attention my Lord?" The first figure jeered and stood to stride across the room to the other shadow.

"Hn, I am hardly a Lord. Even if I may live within the royal housing surrounding my Kingdoms castle and my vote is thirdly demanded during any new decree. The title of Lord is not mine." The second figure reminded the other as they leaned against the door.

"Always brooding over titles, is the fact you will be, if something should happen to the present king, the new Lord enough? Even more so, as how the current heirs are not of age yet." The figure questioned and wrapped their arms around the others neck.

"Only time will tell, but until then we need to plan accordingly and wait for the right opportunity in which to put our planning into action." The second figure smirked and pulled the other slightly smaller figure towards them.

"I suppose." The first figure sighed and began to kiss along the neck of the second figure.

"Ah, so I take it that this means you want me to stay?" The second figure questioned and tilted their head back to rest on the door, as the other figure nibbled, nipped and licked at their neck.

"Is it not obvious enough?" The first figure replied and continued their assault on the other.

"Hmn." The second figure hummed as the smaller shadow sucked on the others pulse. The taller figure then gripped the others chin and crushed their lips together in a arousal inducing kiss, the other moaned quietly into the others mouth efficiently permitting access into their mouth. Their tongues then danced and battled for dominance, as the kiss deepened the smaller figure gave in and let the slightly taller figure gain full control of the kiss. As they finally broke the kiss for much needed air, the taller figure licked and sucked along the others neck as they slightly stumbled back towards the bed. Once they reached the full sized bed, the taller figure pushed the other down and sought out the full pink lips, which glistened in the candlelight from their previous onslaught.

As the two devoured each other, their hands hungrily began to slide under the silk fabrics of clothing desperately seeking out any bare flesh. The taller figure silently thankful that they didn't wear their usual royal garbs, for they would only hinder the two in their current aroused state, they then released the smaller figures lips in favor of greedily kissing a trail down their sculpted chest and licked over to suck on a pert nipple and none to gently bit down.

"Ma-" The smaller figure began to call out from the painful pleasure of having been bit, only to have the others hand quickly cover their mouth, successfully shutting them up.

"Do not say my name, these walls are far too thin for that and I'm positive the other occupants of that room would recognize it." The second figure warned. Then replace the hand covering the others mouth with lips that burned with pure passion.

"Mmnnn… Ah!" The smaller figure moaned and gasped and they felt a hand slip down into their pants, and began to stroke their hardened length. As the other slowly, painfully slowly, stroked his weeping length, they slowly glided across the slit. This sent him squirming and moaning quietly under the other, he then turned from the searing kiss in an effort to control his moaning and then knotted his hands in the long dark hair that fell around him like a curtain.

"Nnnn…" The dark haired figure hissed as his hair was pulled. He then sat up on his knees and proceeded to remove the small panting figures slacks, then blindingly fast removed his own. Once the articles of clothing were out of the way, he leaned back down to take in the others lips, who then swiftly turned the dark haired man over and straddle him, all the while never breaking the kiss. As the smaller male ground himself down on the other, his shoulder length pale brown hair subtly fell around his face, he then broke the heated kiss and slid down the others chiseled chest and abs until he came to the others rather impressive length. He eyed the throbbing muscle hungrily and slowly licked the leaking member from the base to the wet slit, then took the head of the pulsing shaft into his moist cavern.

"Un, Fuck!" The dark haired male groaned as he felt the hot and wet mouth of the other envelope around his member. The smaller male expertly maneuvered and flattened his tongue around the thick and weeping cock, successfully drawing out hushed moans and low growls from the perfectly sculpted male on the bed, who currently had a hand knotted in his pale brown hair. As the smaller male continued his ministrations, they were suddenly interrupted by a quick rapping on the door. Not one to be taken off guard, the taller male swiftly sat up and grabbed his previously discarded clothes off of the floor and silently instructed the other to do so as well. the smaller male quickly followed his lead and resumed his position by the window, all the while shifting awkwardly to hide his all too prominent arousal, he was sure the taller male was having the same difficulty with his member, though he didn't show it as he went to the door.

"If this is who I think it is they are late," The taller male grumbled as he cracked the door open. As he looked through the door, he looked upon a dripping wet figure with bone white hair and stood just a few inches shorter than himself. "I was right, you're late!" He growled as he let the white haired figure in.

"Hahah, you seem to have forgotten that I have other duties to attend to over there before coming here." The white haired figure retorted and jabbed his thumb to the window, indicating something towards the castle.

"Regardless, you are still late. Now, what do you have to report?" The pale brown male asked as he walked over the table where the other two were now seated.

"Well, to begin, the two targeted princes have been showing… favorable actions. Whether do to hormones or the 'other', I've seen definite changes." The wet figure stated. The taller male smirked evilly, while the other shook his head in muted sadness.

"Just a few more years, then the fun can begin again." The dark haired male smiled.

"I wouldn't call torturing Namikaze's kid and my nephew fun." The pale brown haired man sighed. The thunder then crashed loudly outside and lit-up the dimly lit room.

"It's really coming down out there." The white haired figure pointed out.

"Yes, this kind of weather always reminds me of that fateful night four years ago." The dark haired male said.
