Just Dance
Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. So in this chapter Suki goes to the police and Orochimaru gets more screen time. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter Notation: Suki and Naruto get closer. Orochimaru makes a grab for Suki. Don't worry though, she'll be okay. Gaara gets steps up to the plate. No offense intended to golden retrievers. ^^ I love them.
Chapter Five
The police arrive rather quickly. A couple officers head into the house. They were heavily armed and Suki was sure they were wearing bullet proof vests.
"Is anyone here?" One calls out.
"We're upstairs." Suki replies and sighs in relief when she hears the cop's voice.
"We have a couple squad cars outside the house and searching the surrounding neighborhood. Can you give us a physical description of the man you saw?" He asks, once he was inside the room with them.
Suki bites her lower lip. This was the moment she was dreading. The brunette honestly didn't know if they'd actually believe her or not. Even if they did, she knew that she was potentially putting her career on the line.
"Tall. Long black hair. Very fair skin. Golden eyes, long tongue. Generally seen in a business suit. Medium build." She answers.
"Alright. How old would you say, he was?" The cop asks.
"He's in his fifties.". But he's in excellent shape for his age. Plastic surgery tends to have that effect." She mutters.
"So you know this man?" The officer continues questioning her.
Naruto squeezes Suki's shoulder comfortingly. He knew this was difficult for her. He wished that he could make it easier for his fellow lead singer somehow.
"Unfortunately, I do. Really well. His name is Orochimaru. He used to be my band manager back when I was in Serpent's Teeth." She answers.
"Orochimaru? Are you sure it wasn't just someone who looks like him?" The man asks.
Itachi rolls his eyes. He had expected something like that. Honestly, he didn't know why it would shock people. Orochimaru spent most of his time inviting children to his Music Camps and molding them into whatever he wanted them to be. Did no one else notice how twisted that was?
"I'm positive. I'd appreciate it, if you could be discreet about this. I don't want it to get leaked to the press. That might make him more dangerous." She says.
"I shall use as much discretion as I can. When cases like this involve celebrities, it tends to get ugly very quickly. Are you injured at all, ma'am? He inquires.
"No. I'm fine. Naruto saw him and took me upstairs." She replies.
"Well if he already knows where you are staying, I would suggest a hotel. He's less likely to do anything in a crowded area." He offers.
"Yes, I think that would be best as well. Thank you, Officer." She says.
"Have you had any defense training or do you have a gun?" He inquires.
"I have and I don't have a gun." She replies.
"Good. Well I wouldn't stay alone. Maybe your brother could stay with you in the hotel." He suggests.
"If I do that, then he'll know that Suki left." Itachi points out and the officer sighs, conceding that he had a point.
"I'll go with you, if you want me to." Naruto says and desperately hopes that she would say yes.
He couldn't imagine leaving her alone. Not with that freak stalking her. The blonde knew that Suki tried to put on a tough front, but he knew that she was scared deep down.
"I'd say it's too dangerous, but he already saw you with me. He knows about you." She says with a heavy sigh and Naruto nods.
"It'd be a good idea for you to have someone with you." The police officer adds.
"Yeah. Alright. You can come with me. Let's pick somewhere that isn't too fancy. He'd probably expect me to choose a five star hotel. It's what I'm used to." She muses.
The police officer nods at this. He tells them to call the station if anything else happened. The cop receives a call and he puts it on speaker.
"Sorry, but he must have run off. We found a tie outside the window. So the man was definitely dressed up. Maybe we can get a DNA sample off of it." The other officer says.
"Good. Well we should head off and get this filed. Stay safe. Do not hesitate to call us if you feel anything is amiss." He informs Suki before heading off.
"Wait awhile, just in case he doubles back. I'll book you a room at a hotel." He says and pulls out his cell, dialing the number.
"Yes, I would like to book a room for under the name Taka for myself and another person. I'm willing to pay for a week's stay in cash." He says.
"Taka?" Naruto asks Suki.
"Using our real names is too traceable. So he made up a last name." She answers and Naruto nods.
A short while later, they were in a hotel. It wasn't a cheap run down one or particularly luxurious. Naruto decided comfortable was the best way to describe it. He wouldn't have minded if it was just some shack in the middle of the woods though, as long as he was with Suki. This way he knew she was safe.
"Since we slept together on the couch last night, I guess you won't mind sharing a bed?" She asks.
"Me? Mind sharing a bed with a beautiful woman? Definitely not." The blonde says and Suki shakes her head in amusement as she opens the door of their room.
Suki sits on the bed and looks around. There was a bed, a tv, computer, connected bathroom, and a rather tiny kitchen. All in all it was exactly what she needed right now.
"So you hungry? We could see what they got in the kitchen or go down the dinning room." He offers.
"A little. Let's see what they have here first." She murmurs and lets him browse for her, feeling rather sluggish after everything that had happened.
"Score. I found some chocolate covered strawberries." He says, heading back to he with a bowl of them in hand.
"Mmm great. I love those." She says and reaches for them.
Naruto shakes his head. He might as well have some fun while they were waiting for the police to catch Orochimaru. He sits on the bed, pulling her into his lap, and places one by her mouth.
"You are trying to hand feed me?" She asks in amusement and Naruto nods.
"Alright. I guess." Suki says grabbing the strawberry between her lips and eating it, before lightly sucking on his fingers.
Naruto shivers. Damn she really was an evil tease. The feeling of her lips against his skin was driving him crazy.
"Bite off more than you can chew, loser?" She asks sassily.
"I'll show you more than you can chew!" He says, pushes her until she was laying on his lap, and kisses her heatedly.
Suki kisses back and moans when he deepens it. The brunette squirms in his lap and Naruto glides his hands over her clothed breasts and ass teasing. He wondered how far he could push his luck before she'd stop him.
God that felt good, Suki thought as she arched into his touch. She eagerly returns his kiss. The other singer knew that she should probably push him away, but a few minutes couldn't hurt. It was just kissing and a little caressing.
"It'll definitely look natural on stage." She murmurs, breaking the kiss.
"Yeah." He agrees.
"Maybe if this ever gets resolved…we could go to dinner or something?" Suki asks.
"Well we already slept together, I think we are past the dinner stage. But yeah, sure that sounds good to me." He says with a smile.
"You are making that sound way more dirty than it was!" She protests.
"Just having a little fun. But did you have a place in mind?" The blonde asks.
"There is this really great seafood place not far from where I live." She suggests.
"Ah cool. I love lobster." The blue eyed man says.
"Their shrimp is also really good." Suki adds.
"Well it's not better than the sexy shrimp I have in my arms." He says cheekily.
"You did not just call me a shrimp!" The brunette growls.
"A sexy shrimp?" Naruto asks.
"I am not short!" She protests.
"You are very tiny. I like it though. It means I can wrap my arms around you and pick you up easily. Well most of you is tiny, except for these and this." The other musician says as he traces his hand over her breasts and backside.
"You are such a pervert!" She scoffs.
"Maybe. But you started it by sucking on my fingers." Naruto defends himself.
"I guess I can't argue with that one." Suki mutters.
Naruto takes out his cell. He decided he should probably let Kakashi and Jirayia know what was going on. They'd be worried if they didn't show up to practice on time.
"Hey, Jirayia. Um I got a lot of news. Are you free and sitting down?" He asks his Godfather.
"Yeah. I'm here kid and sure. What is it?" The white haired man replies and sits down, wondering what on earth would draw such a reaction from his Godson.
Naruto looks at Suki. He wasn't sure if she wanted anyone else to know about Orochimaru. She shakes her head no. He gives her a look like, Come on. But she keeps shaking her head. Sighing, he returns his attention back to the Sannin.
"Well Suki and I might not make it to practice today." The blonde begins to explain.
"Are you both okay?" He demands to know.
"Yeah, we're fine. We just decided to practice our dance moves at a club. It'll be more natural that way and since the press already thinks we are together, no reason to keep it a secret." He says.
Jirayia nods. It was sound logic. He had no idea that Naruto was lying through his teeth. Why? Because the blue eyed man had never lied to him before.
"So you can let the others know? We don't want them to worry and calling everyone would be a pain in the ass." Naruto continues.
"Yeah. Sure, I can kid. Have fun." Jirayia says and hangs up.
"He'll tell them. Don't make me lie for you again. I don't like lying, especially not to Jirayia." He says.
"I'm sorry. I just…don't want to draw more people into this if I can help it. It's nothing against them. Thank you for keeping it a secret." She says and brushes her lips against hers.
"I am such a sucker." He mutters and kisses back.
"How do you figure?" Suki asks him curiously.
"I should be mad that you made me lie. But you kiss me and I can't be mad anymore. I'm already addicted to the feeling of your lips against mine." The blonde replies.
"I'm sorry that you had to lie. But I do like the sounds of that last part." She says and playfully pins him underneath her, deepening the kiss.
Naruto smiles and kisses back. He glides his hands over the sultry brunette's back. It was hard to be upset when you had a gorgeous woman on top of you and she was kissing you.
"Mmm I don't really understand it." She murmurs, breaking the kiss.
"Me neither. It's like we are magnets." He tells her.
"That does make me feel a bit less guilty. At least I don't only want you for your body. You do have some brains." She taunts him.
"Oh really?!" Naruto demands.
"Mhm. It is as very nice body. But you don't exactly have the strongest sense of self-preservation. I was beginning to worry that you were just my sexy golden retriever. Friendly and loyal, but not the brightest." She says with a shrug.
"Oh yeah, you definitely want that spanking." He replies.
"Keep dreaming." She says and rolls off of him.
Naruto smirks and chases after her. The room was only so big. But Suki was very fast and agile. Still Naruto had more stamina, it seemed. He eventually catches her.
"You were saying?" He asks.
"You wouldn't dare!" The youngest Uchiha decrees.
"Wanna bet?" The blonde asks and Suki gulps.
Meanwhile back at Sound University, Orochimaru had managed to avoid the police. Damn it. That had been a close call.
"She's always avoided going to the police for obvious reasons. It appears her new boyfriend must have influenced her." He mutters.
"Are you certain he's her lover?" Kabuto asks.
"They were sleeping next to each other. I find it hard to believe their relationship is purely platonic." He answers.
The silver haired producer nods. He wasn't sure how to broach this subject. But it was one that he knew had to be broached. Things could go south and very quickly now that the police were involved.
"Suki is indeed very talented and I can see why you are fond of her. But is it really worth the potential court battle? You could throw away your entire career and legacy." He warns him.
"Greatness was never achieved by men who were too frightened to seize the day." Orochimaru tells him and Kabuto shuts up.
One did not argue with Orochimaru. Bad things happened to you, if you were stupid enough to do so. Which was why he was surprised the members of Chidori were still breathing. He supposed the dark haired man's obsession with the musical prodigy had something to do with it.
"Are you still planning to proceed with the charity show at the University in hopes that Chidori will agree to the event?" He asks.
"Of course. I see no reason to alter my plans." The Sannin responded as if it had never occurred to him to cancel the event or at least not to invite Chidori.
Kabuto shakes his head. Orochimaru was a musical genius and a genius in general, but when it came to Suki Uchiha that went out the window. Of course he wasn't the first man to lose his composure over a woman. But it was still quite sad to witness what Kabuto viewed as his descent into madness.
"Professor Orochimaru?" A Sound student says, peeking her head inside the room.
"Yes?" He asks.
"I was wondering if I could have an extension. The lyrics just aren't quite working right and I want the song to be perfect." She asks with a smile.
"I'm certain your song will be just fine. No extension. The real world does not give one extensions. I want my students to be prepared to succeed once they leave the Sound." He says with a sickly sweet smile.
"Yes, Professor." She mumbles and heads off.
"Very well. I'll go talk to the press and let them know about our plans for the charity concert. Is there anything else you need?" Kabuto asks.
"I want to find out as much about Naruto Uzumaki as possible." Orochimaru says.
"Yes, of course." The silver haired man says and heads off, muttering about having a bad feeling about this.
A few days later, Suki went out shopping for something to wear for the Awards Show. She was about to head home, when she felt herself pulled into an ally and pushed against a wall.
"It has been far too long, Suki. You are looking well. I suppose having a plaything agrees with you." Orochimaru says.
Suki's eyes narrows. She knees him hard in the stomach. Orochimaru let's go in pain and she glares at him. She was going to have to fight him, if she wanted to get out of the ally with only one entrance.
"Now. Now. That wasn't very polite of you. I was just making friendly conversation." The Sannin chides her.
"Friendly conversation?!" She growls in utter disbelief.
"Of course. It has been such a long time. There is a great deal that we have to catch up on. You didn't even attend your college class reunion. I was most disappointed. You were always my star pupil." He says.
She glares at him. How dare he mention her class reunion?! There were a lot of her classmates that she had wanted to see again. But she hadn't gone because she knew Orochimaru would be there. It hadn't been worth it.
"Fuck you." She hisses.
"Tsk. Tsk. Such language from a beautiful woman like yourself is most unfitting. Do you not agree?" He asks.
"The only thing I agree with is my fist in your face." She snarls at him.
"I know you must be angry with me. But I was only trying to get your attention. Don't worry, I'm not upset with you over the blonde. I know he is just an idle amusement. He's a pop singer. You'll grow bored of him soon enough." The dark haired man observes.
Suki twitches. How dare he?! How dare he comment on her relationship with Naruto?! He had no right to talk about anything, much less her personal life!
"I fail to see what his genre of music has to do with anything. He's NONE of your concern. I swear to God, if you try to hurt him in ANY way, I'll k-." Suki is cut off by Orochimaru pressing his fingers to her mouth.
"That's the fire I like to see in you. It matters a great deal. You and I both know how much you can tell about a person by their music. He's not like us. Naruto is innocent. He doesn't understand what we do. We made such beautifully dark music together. Did we not?" He asks and Suki glowers at him.
"The music was beautiful. Your intentions were not and don't try to pretend that you know anything about him! You haven't even met him and if I have anything to say about it, it will stay that way!" She snarls at him.
"There's my little tigress. I knew she was still in there somewhere. How I have missed you." He says and kisses her.
Suki's eyes widen. She panics. The brunette bites his abnormally long tongue. Orochimaru grunts in pain but doesn't stop kissing her. She tries to shove him away.
That's when she heard it. It was the sound of a gunshot. Someone with a gun had just fired a warning shot into the ally.
"Her biting your tongue wasn't a clue that she wasn't interested?" Gaara asks.
"Who are you?" Orochimaru asks, breaking the kiss to see who had fired off the shot.
"That's none of your concern. But if you don't want a bullet through your head, you are going to leave now and you won't bother her anymore." The red head warns him and raises his gun at Orochimaru to prove his point.
"You won't fire. You could hit her just as easily as me." The Sannin says.
"Do you really want to bet your life on that assumption?" The teal eyed musician inquires.
"Very well. I shall see you later, Suki. Have fun with your plaything. When you grow tired of him, you know where to find me." Orochimaru says and swiftly leaves the ally.
Gaara rushes over to the brunette. Her knees gave out from the shock of everything. He catches her.
"It's alright. Did he hurt you?" He asks.
"No. He kissed me but other than creeping me out, that was it. I need to wash my mouth out. I feel so fucking dirty." She growls.
The red head decides now would not be the best time to say that she was lucky that was all the sick fuck did. He nods at her assessment and leads her to his car. The guitarist thanked God that he had happened to be driving by when he saw the brunette yanked into the ally. If he hadn't, he shuddered to think what would have happened and what Naruto's reaction would have been.
"Do you want me to drive you anywhere?" He asks.
"There's a hotel I'm staying at for awhile, till this blows over. " She quickly gives him the address.
After a short drive, they arrive. Gaara gets out of the car with her. She was surprised when the red head walked her to the door. He frowns hearing, someone inside her room.
"Is anyone staying with you?" He demands.
"Yeah. Naruto is." She answers and suddenly finds her feet rather fascinating.
"I guess I should have known the dancing practice at the club line was bullshit. You two are getting pretty serious." He observes.
"A little…yeah." She replies and knocks on the door.
Naruto opens it. He blinks when he sees Gaara standing next to Suki. Suki looked torn between embarrassment and being shaken up by something. Immediately alarm bells went off in his head.
"Gaara! Suki! What happened?" He questions them.
"I don't really want to talk about it right now. I'm going to use the bathroom real quick." Suki says and heads into the bathroom, Naruto could hear the sink being turned on.
"Gaara?" He demands.
"I was out driving. I saw someone pull her into an ally. It was Orochimaru. By the time I got out of my car, he had her pushed against the wall. He was kissing her. She bit his tongue, I saw that much. He didn't stop. So I fired off a warning shot. He took off." The red head summarizes.
"Shit! Thanks man. You really saved the day. I can't believe that creep tried to molest her like that! Well I can. But fuck. She must be terrified out of her mind." He says.
"And I can't believe that you were sharing a hotel room with her and didn't mention this to me." His band mate mutters a little bitterly.
"Sorry. She wanted to keep it a low profile. You know cause she was worried about her stalker." He says.
"Well I suppose we don't have to wonder who it is anymore. Orochimaru. A Sannin has turned into a lowlife stalker. Pathetic." He growls and Naruto couldn't help but agree.
