The Art of Patience

Chapter 14 Part One: FINALLY THE PARTY!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto glared at the giant mansion, Casa De Madara, with its well manicured yard and topiary. Its starlight fountains and almost peaceful lights. This didn't look like the home of a monster, which is exactly the kind of creature that called this place home. Lights played over the outer walls of the mansion with a soft golden hue while people; slaves and Masters, walked into the football stadium sized dwelling.

The blond ground his teeth noisily as ne crept forward in his car to Madara's Valet for hire. "Shit, shit, shit. I can’t believe I’m here. I can’t believe I agreed to this. Someone shoot me next time I do something like this."

Itachi, who was sitting in the front seat put a reassuring hand on his Master's arm and rested his head on the blonde's shoulder. "It'll be alright, Master. We can always leave if you get too uncomfortable."

Sasuke was fidgeting in the back seat. He had never met his uncle and frankly, from everything that was told to him about the man didn't seem all that reputable. He was probably going to stick close to Naruto, just in case.

The blue eyed man leaned on the steering wheel and closed his eyes as the valet sent one of the other guests up to the front door. Just two more cars and it would be his turn to give up his keys.

"It's the parts between now and leaving that has me worried. You just KNOW he's got something up his sleeve.” The Dom carefully urged his well maintained vehicle forward with his chin still on the steering wheel, looking more like someone on Death Row rather than a Dom going to a party.

Naruto sat up and looked in the rear view mirror at Sasuke. This night was going to be rough so the ground rules had to be laid. "Alright, you two are mine; so no making talking to or going anywhere with other Dom’s even if they trick you into it. Princess, you get to keep my Kitty on his leash until I say he can wander freely. Kitty, you can only put your tail back in three times before you have to come to me to get it back in. Oh and you have to have your tail in place for the whole party." The blond fidgeted as he pulled forward again. It was almost his turn. "Do you two understand?"

Both subs nodded their understanding as the car moved forward and the valet was seen through the driver's window.

Itachi noticed the way Naruto glared at the man for eyeing him and Sasuke like they were two pieces of meat and harshly handed the guy his keys. He got out when Naruto prompted him and stood next to Sasuke outside of the car and grabbed the end of his little brother's leash before he felt his Master take the end of his own shorter leash.

"Keep on your toes, Maddy never liked the fact that I got you two instead of him." With that Naruto held his head high, smiled as though he were happy to be there, and trotted his leather covered ass up the stairs with his two subs in tow.

They stopped just inside the double front doors as a sub wearing only a collar stepped up to the trio with his eyes averted respectfully, Most likely one of Madara's.

"My Master bids you welcome and hopes that you enjoy your stay in his company. Is there anything I may take off your hands while you are entertained, Sir?"

The blond looked blandly at the sub and held onto Itachi’s leash just a tad tighter. "I don’t have anything to spare you. I'm holding everything I need."

The sub stepped back into a small alcove where he'd evidently come from without missing a beat. "As you wish, Sir.”

The blond shivered even though the night was warm and walked forward out of the foyer and into the spacious room beyond.

Music drifted along like flower petals on the breaths of all the people inside, both Masters and slaves, while the scents of perfumes, colognes, and other odors teased the group’s noses. It would be nearly impossible to tell one person form another before they were right next to you. The blond stared for just a moment to take on the room before walking in. Across from the foyer, a dais had been set up with a throne made of ebony wood with turquoise and ivory inlays that sat elegantly in a bluish light where the host of the party was seated, currently receiving a blowjob from a random sub. Along the far walls tables had been set up with fine linens and utensils for the hungry party goers without collars of one sort or another. On a separate wall, poles had been set up with naked men and women tied to them by either collars alone or by their wrists. This area was kept mostly clear and only a few fully clothed people stood there at any one time, examining the subs for hire. "Princess, I may owe you and Kitty if this night turns sour..."

Itachi didn’t say anything, but tried to ignore the many eyes on him as soon as he walked into the house. He couldn't see who was looking at him, since he had his eyes downcast like any good sub was supposed to do, but the felt them nonetheless. He kept a tight hold on his brother's leash as he heard and saw the expensive looking boots of his uncle approach them.

"Well, well if it isn’t my two adoring nephews. How are you doing? Well I hope."

Naruto growled low in his throat. How dare this ass hole talk to his subs directly! Just because he was their uncle didn't change the fact that he was not their owner! The blond gave a small forced smile and he looked Madara square in the eye. "Excuse me, Madara; but I believe it's only proper to ask a sub's Master to speak with said sub...or have you forgotten?"

Sasuke gave a mental cheer for his Master. Damn straight; this guy just sounded like a huge perv. How he ever got an uncle like that he would never know.

"Any other sub of course. But you see this is family business. Now why don’t you run along like a good boy and let me take care of them while you get yourself something nice to drink. I’ll keep them nice and safe with me until you get back, I promise." the older man smiled like a shark as he held his hand out for Itachi's leash. This would be entertaining.

Itachi unconsciously took a small step back, not wanting to be in his uncle's slimy hands whatsoever. He knew he could defend himself if need be, but at the moment, he'd let his Master handle the situation.

Naruto's smile got even wider as he grabbed the end of Sasuke's leash out of Itachi's hand and put both leashes behind him. "I believe that would be very irresponsible on my part. You see; I have a little rule...my sub's stay with me at all times in public places and I don't let others enjoy their company unless I'm there with them...Now if you'll excuse me..." He turned and gently pulled on the two leashes in his hand for his slaves to follow him to the other side of the house where he might find some better company; but before he had a chance to even get five steps, one simple phrase stopped him dead in his tracks.

"Be careful Uzumaki, An old friend of yours is here and he's just DYING to see you again."

Naruto wasn't sure which person Madara was referring to; Sai or his former Master. He really didn't give a crap at that point. All he wanted to do was make his appearance with his subs for a couple hours and then leave.

Naruto fumed on the inside at Madara's freaking gall. The man was impossible to get along with! First talking to his subs to get them to the party, then talking to them again with him, their Master, standing right next to them! "I don’t want you two anywhere near that man even if I do give you two leave to wander around."

Itachi and Sasuke both nodded as they stood a bit closer to their Master.

Sasuke was starting to feel a bit nervous and anxious about being so exposed in the crowded mansion. He knew that he wasn't completely naked, but he might as well have been, considering how scantily clad he was. He looked up at his Master, being about five inches shorter than the blond due to the Dom's platform shoes, and tugged on his wrinkle free blood red silk shirt sleeve.

"Hmm?" The blond turned to look at who had tugged on his sleeve and frowned slightly. Sasuke's tail hadn’t fallen out already had it? "What's up Kitty?"

Sasuke scooted a bit closer to his Master and brought himself in contact with the other's body. Head still lowered once more, he spoke in almost a whisper. "I don't like it here; I feel like I'm going to get jumped any minute..."

Itachi looked over as he heard his brother's confession and felt bad for him instantly. It was always hard for a sub the first time they went to a public place while in the role of submissive. Eventually they get used to it, but the first time was always the roughest. He just hoped that Naruto could ease Sasuke's discomfort. He sure did a good job when Itachi attended his first public gathering.

"Yeah, it's like that at first but I'll tell you what; you can stay by me or Princess. Most of these people knows he's mine so you'll be alright. We won’t be here long anyway, I just have to make a good appearance then we can go." The silk and leather clad Dom pat his kitty on the head while a pair of subs wearing nothing at all trotted by on long leashes following their Mistress. One of the subs, a female of athletic build with blond hair, cast a glance at Itachi's legs and licked her lips.

Naruto's eyes narrowed into tiny slits as a growl escaped his throat. How dare someone look at his Princess; and a sub no less! He turned abruptly as the Dominatrix passed him, not even bothering to discipline her slut and grabbed her wrist harshly. "Excuse me; I believe your little slut of a sub owes my Princess an apology, as do you." he ground out between clenched teeth.

The woman yanked her hand back and flicked her hair over her shoulder negligently. Trust the fresh meat to piss off every Dom they passed. This particular Dom she knew by reputation however. Jealous, prideful, and more than willing to start something when his subs were involved. This must be the infamous Naruto Uzumaki. "And what do you expect from a pair of animals like these? No training, no sense, and the bitch has a mind of her own. If you so desperately want your apology, you might as well take it from her hide because I sure as hell am not going to be responsible for their ill mannered tongues." With that the bitchy Dominatrix yanked on the leashes hard enough to send both naked people sprawling to the ground with a few snickers form the crowd.

Naruto hated people like this. The one's who think that they were the best out of everyone and that everyone must respect their greatness. Not to mention being careless and not giving a damn about their subs. The blond just decided to ignore the woman and walked away. "No need. I don't punish other people's subs...I'd rather take the joy in my own subs that are at least well behaved." With that the angry blond stormed off, pets in tow, to the refreshment table. He needed a good stiff drink.

The Dominatrix sputtered and took a step back to catch her balance. How dare that blond pig insult her then storm off as though he held all the cards? The woman peeled her lips back showing her too white teeth in an unattractive snarl as the two pieces of meat crouched like they had been instructed to do, though the female looked about ready to stand up. With a squeak of her outfit, the woman turned sharply on one heel and yanked on the leash to make the two naked people start crawling quickly after her.

Sasuke fought to keep a smile off his face as he followed his blond Master with eyes properly downcast. Naruto could have taken that other Dom no problem in an insult match, but to do that the leashes would have been released letting his uncle’s people make a grab for him and Itachi. The uneasy feeling of being mostly naked was still there eating at the back of his mind and making Sasuke's palms itch with a desire to put something on or to even look up and find a place to hide, both from the crowd and form his masters bubbling anger. He lifted a hand and gingerly tugged on his Master's silk sleeve once more. Naruto needed comfort before he blew up in someone’s face. "Master?"

Naruto stiffened for a moment at the contact, but forced himself to relax, knowing that it was just his youngest sub. He turned, making sure to keep an eye on Itachi in the process as he stepped closer to Sasuke. "What is it Kitty?"

Itachi unconsciously stepped closer to Naruto, feelings of protectiveness overwhelming his mind. He was ready to just pull away from his Master’s grasp and let that damn woman have it. He refrained though, not wanting to upset his Master even more.

Sasuke shuffled in his little cat feet before speaking. His master hadn’t done anything aggressive, but the sub knew it was there, held behind the man’s will. "Master, will you allow me to make you feel better?" All Madara needed was an excuse to get at his nephews. An explosion for Naruto might be just what the host of the party needed.

Naruto's look softened as soon as he saw the cute little display his Kitty was putting on for him. He smiled at his little sub and pulled him in close. "Of course you can, and I know just the way." he said with a mischievous smirk. He looked over at Itachi and motioned for him to come closer. "Princess, I need comfort from you as well." However, before he could get any more words out, he heard the voice that he thought he would never hear again, right by his ear.

"Why if it isn’t my most memorable sub all grown up with little pets of his own. When Madara told me you had arrived, I just couldn't believe it, but after your little display, I must say you haven’t changed much at all dear boy."
