Permission To Seek

CHAPTER 19 MORTAL ENEMIES

[I do these subtitles to express a change in scenery so I hope it is working for everyone. As I said before this was badly chaptered and lengthy, now correcting my mistake is tedious, I hope it makes reading enjoyable.]
Know your opponent

Kiba stood his ground watching Neji with cold intent. “Oh.” His voice hushed as an evil grin stretched his lips reveling pointy teeth. “If this is my last day on earth;” he smacked his lips loudly; “I would have made sure to…”

“Kiba please!” Hinata snapped. “Neji-itoko (cousin) please allow Kiba to leave.” Her voice drops considerably as she gazed at her cousin, her eyes pleading.

“Don’t beg him for anything;” Kiba spat; a lethal flash in his sharp eyes; “I’ll just make sure no one can find the body.” He mused baring his teeth more at the white-eye ninja.

Hinata gasps at the sound of footsteps. “Neji!” She whispers urgently believing her father is the source of that sound.

Glaring at the pair his mind races over dozens of scenarios and possible outcomes none show him how he would benefit through killing the dog trainer he needs Hinata's acceptance. He cast his eyes in the direction of the sound. “We have less than a minute come.” Waving his hand for them to follow and placing a finger to his mouth telling them to keep silent.

The couple gapes at him for one heartbeat then they all dart in the direction away from Hinata’s father. They need to remain silent. The Elder’s sight would find them in moments if he knew of their presence. Neji led them on a wide circumvent of the Hyuga Clan Territory; pausing at a special entrance for higher-ranking guards and Clan members.

“I will take him away from here you need to get back inside before he realizes you are missing; hurry.” His Byakugan still reveled making him appear angry in spite of his kind gesture. “I will keep him safe.” He assures her, as she pauses, not wanting to leave the two of them alone.

Turning her gaze on Kiba, desiring to give him one last embrace, she only nods understanding this is not the time. Darting into the doorway while both males look for watching eyes as soon as the door closes Neji directs Kiba away from the Clan. Toward an area, that is less guarded increasing their chances of avoiding detection leaving the territory. Once they travel, several miles away in a larger circumvent that angled back toward the main entrance to the Hidden Leaf Neji stopped; Kiba turned to glare at him.

“This is where I leave you; I trust you can find your own way back.” He turns.

“Why did you help me? It is apparent we will never be friends, yet you stuck your neck out for me.” Kiba glares angrily at the back of the dark hair as the feet pause, Neji did not face him.

Neji’s face did several contortions while he kept his back on the dog trainer. “Whatever do you mean?” he said contemptuously.

Kiba growls low and guttural; ‘He’s making light of me, which is a big mistake.’ “Should I say it slower?” he jeers mockingly.

“Have you any idea how easily;” Neji turns slowly, to the other ninja “I can kill you? If you value your life, keep your taunts to yourself!”

“You don’t care to tell me? You and your uncle could have eliminated me today.” Kiba grins evilly. “Not as quickly as you think and I certainly would have made it very painful in return.” He adds with a raspy snicker.

“I have no desire to kill you Kiba, the dog trainer.” He states plainly, although the insult at the end confirms Kiba’s remark about not being friends.

Eyeing him darkly, Kiba despises the title he bares his teeth dangerously. “Really, I thought the objective is to keep me away from Hinata no matter what; not really following orders by letting me get away are you?”

“Are going to turn me in?” he did not wait for a reply wanting to get away as quickly as possible. “I care for my cousin’s happiness more than I despise you; killing you there will not earn me any points with her. Therefore your life is prolonged for another day; be careful not to be so reckless in the future.” He walks away disappearing into the night.

Kiba decides not to make any further remarks because of his scent; ‘Why does he smell like Uchiha, that’s not something a man should have from another male comrade?’ It bothers him; he can sense the cold intent in Neji, he knows the older ninja dislikes him more than the nuisance he treats him as; he could see better than the Byakugan in that respect; keenly able to detect a dangerous enemy; like Uchiha Sasuke.

Neji takes a different route back to his own Clan, his eyes still displaying every detail around him he notice two people headed in his direction. He leaps into a high tree and conceals himself quickly.

The pair step off the main road under a large tree; very close to Naruto’s apartment; embracing in the shadows, kissing. “I would like to stay with you if it is o.k.; I will treat you with respect.” The deep voice whispers softly. A light chuckle then; “No my place is a mess and you are not cleaning it.” A firm warning; “I will see you at lunch. I got to get my list of chores from the old lady then…” More kissing and low moans followed by a deep sigh. “I will help you with those chores I don’t mind, Tenshi.” The deep voice soothes. A nervous laugh; “No that’s ok Shi, I’ll get them done; I think of it as training so don’t worry.”

Neji shifts silently at the name the other just said; he could clearly see their outlines like an x-ray showing him bluish white and black; standing together under the tree. “You don’t want to see me?” the deep voice sounds too soft for its tone. “Come on that’s not how it is; I just need to think about this, it’s all too fast; well too slow, and now….” The voice cut short by more kissing sounds and a soft moan. “I understand I just want to hold you a little longer; good night Tenshi.” The larger person steps out followed by the other; the small ninja went into the building, turning to wave at the taller one who watches from the shadows.

Neji eyes follow Naruto until he enters the building and then he turns his gaze looking for Shino, who has vanished. Neji stands up in the tree scanning the surrounding area then leaps down; a deep voice speaks from behind the tree.

“If you repeat this I will kill you.” Shino leers dangerously close.

Taking several defensive steps backward his Byakugan still revealed. “Why would I care who you…” he stops speaking, as Shino acts completely different from what he expects. Lounging on a tree looking up at the building, Naruto just entered ignoring a potential attacker.

“I don’t believe you would care; but he cares.” Shino nods towards the apartment building. “In my Clan a relationships like ours is accepted, but here in the Hidden Leaf it is not.” His gaze never leaves the windows he knew belongs to the blonde ninja as they light up. ‘I wonder how late he will stay up, I should check on him one more time.’ Shino considers silently.

“Last I checked your Clan is in the Hidden Leaf!” Neji snaps angry more at the circumstances he just witnessed. ‘How is it he has that open relationship while Sasuke and I….’

Shino chuckles, low that causes Neji to shift his body tense. Finally, the bug user stands up straight turning his gaze on the white eyed ninja he chuckles again. “We are in the Hidden Leaf, but the Aburame Clan; we are a nation within ourselves.”

“You are delusional!” Casting him a condescending sneer; ‘This guy is crazy; everything I’ve ever heard must be dung.’

Shino smiles, which then stretched to a maniacal grin; “Hyuga Neji, do not underestimate a rival.” Neji cringes, stepping back further. Shino eyes drift back to the window in the apartment above; vaguely considering how Naruto would react if he slid in bed next to him.

“Why are you challenging me; we are not rivals?” he bristled. ‘Who does he think he is standing there calling me a rival not bothering to give me his full attention?’

“You do not see me as worth the effort; as a matter of fact you barely know anything about my Clan because we are not taken seriously.” He leans casually against a tree again; “I won’t give you a history lesson, just know this I recognize you as a rival. If we meet in the Chuunin Exam it will be interesting for me.” Walking off, casting a final glance at Naruto’s lighted window he paused several feet away. “Oh one more thing,” he turns looking toward the trees where he knew Neji still stands. “I assure you, if I hear one rumor you will die slowly.” He walks off, humming the same tune his Kikai droned.

We Don’t Have Much Time!

Kakashi place his lips firmly against the Chuunin’s shoulder groaning intensely as he presses deeper into the firm buttocks. Iruka lifts his head back against the Copy Ninja, exposing his neck. His right arm grasping behind Kakashi’s head pulling the man’s mouth harder down on his shoulder and keeping him balanced. His right leg bent at the knee so high it rest against his chest; his lovers forearm holding it in place as he reaches around him, under the thigh; stroking his penis. Shower water pulsating down on top of both males masking their moans and cries.

“Ohm! Kakashi-sama!” his body tightening and beginning to shudder his climax close.

“I just love the sound of your voice Sensei.” He said amusingly; as his tongue licks the bronze ninja from the shoulder up to his neck; his hips thrusting deeper into the tight confines of the man’s body.

His left hand gripping the slender hips firmly and bending his knees slightly to deliver a more powerful thrust; his own body beginning to quake from the erotic flexing on his cock; he snickers as on cue Iruka began to howl in ecstasy is cock spasms causing Kakashi to gaze over the ninja’s shoulder as it erupts. His own ejaculation follows as the Chuunin’s ass clenches his cock tightly. That combined with seeing his lovers’ eruption pushed him over the edge. He groans loudly burying his face in Iruka’s shoulder gasping for breath. Turning his face to look at the dazed eyes staring back at him he smiles lifting his face to the mans pink lips and pushing his tongue in the delightful mouth savoring the sensation he could only obtain from this man he loves deeply. His knees feel weak from holding them both up for several delightful moments. Kakashi withdraws slowly then allows the young ninja to lower his leg and then turns him around pressing him against the wall with his own body. Iruka eases his arms around his neck.

The passionate kissing continues. “Kakashi-sama, I would like to see Naruto today;” another deep kiss.

“Oh it breaks my heart to hear you talk about other men while you are kissing me with your perfect mouth;” more probing kisses.

“Oh Kakashi-sama you say the nicest things, but this is important; and don’t joke like that about Naruto.” The Chuunin shut off the water. His lover pouted at him. “No we need to discuss what Sasuke was doing impersonating Naruto and I want to meet with Naruto privately about what happen in the Hot Spring Village, before we go to talk to them both.” He eased his arm down from around his neck Kakashi steps back both stepping out of the shower.

Kakashi’s mind went back to the discrepancy in his encounter with Naruto and the time Iruka arrived in the village. Someone had impersonated Naruto. ‘There is only one person who would have something to gain by that as well as be able to convince that brat he is the real thing.’ He had discussed his theory with Iruka the night before now with a breakfast of sex he is ready to face both boys and get some real answers. He sat down on the bed watching Iruka get dress his body exquisite.

“You are a beauty Sensei.”

Iruka glances at him as he pulls on a navy tee shirt. “Thank you, I always believed you are the sexiest man in the Hidden Leaf.” Stepping forward with a bundle of clothes that belongs to the Jonin, he leans in to kiss him. “I still feel that way.” Standing up straighter Iruka continues getting dressed speaking over his shoulder. “I have a bad feeling about this Kaka, if Sasuke really did do something like that to Shino.”

“Why.? He was able to convince me; he probably got away with it; but it is very risky for him to get that close to that brat knowing the freak wants to kill him.”

Iruka turns a disapproving glare; “Shino is not a bad kid; strange, but not bad. You should try to get to know him; please don’t call him names around me; he was my student for half a year.”

“Yeah, now that you mention it; how is it his grades are second to Sasuke and he didn’t attend the school very long?” Kakashi gave his own disapproving stare.

“He is bright, what can I tell you. Actually he excelled in every exam and practical application; the boy is a genius.” Iruka said dismissively.

“Yeah and I’m straight.” Kakashi snorted.

Iruka sucks his teeth, then gave up; ‘he is never going to like the boy.’ “Well, this will light a fire under you; Naruto told me he would spend the day with Shino; I almost completely forgot. My point is…”

Jumping to his feet, Kakashi pull his mask over his face his eyes livid. “It wouldn’t take long for Naruto to say something that will conflict with what happen Tuesday. Sasuke’s in danger!” he threw on the rest of his clothes; outside he told Iruka to get ANBU to find Sasuke and stick to him and meet them at Naruto’s place. Both ninja set off in different directions; Kakashi praying it was not too late; keeping his Sharingan eye ready.

I Am Fond of You

Shino crouches on the roof of his home overlooking the Aburame territory not seeing it; his eyes and mind zoned in on the night he shared with Naruto. He raises a hand to his face; inhaling a scent he associates with the blonde ninja; his mind replaying the touch, feel and taste of his love; his heart fluttering.

“It’s still dark, why are you out here?” A mellow voice speaks softly.

“He said he loves me.” Shino whispers not bothering to face the man; the fluttering in his chest redoubles the strange burning feel behind his eyes.

The gentle footsteps approach knelling at his side; their hand touching his shoulder. “Have you spoke with you uncle? He would want to know.”

“No, do not speak of it with him.” He half turns gazing at Kimimaro. “I have vowed not to kill that Uchiha for Naruto I have made that vow. He will not be pleased.”

“Shino, your uncle will understand just speak with him; you know he holds you in high regard.”

“….”

“Well.” His eyes light slightly as he gazes at the boy’s profile. ‘Be indifferent about it.’ Kimimaro thinks, and then casually he says, “I won’t push. When Iruka and I took Naruto home Tuesday no Wednesday after midnight…”

“What do you mean after midnight?” He turns fully glaring in the pale green eyes catching a flash of darkness. The annoying details moving to the front of his mind.

Kimimaro stands walking to the edge of the roof looking at the many stars still visible with the sun on the horizon. ‘I have become the manipulator why?’ “We arrived in the Hidden Leaf after midnight Wednesday about one o’clock in the morning.” ‘He will see through this, he’s bright.’

Shino sat silent for several minutes. “My uncle sent you he does not like that I have delayed. Which means he suspects the person I spent a few hours with on Tuesday, is Uchiha as if I need one more reason to hate that son of a…..”

“I thought you would conclude that.” Kimimaro interrupts turning around. “You never ask about my vow to kill Uchiha Sasuke; I could give you a reason that will exceed all others.”

“….”

Kimimaro eyes him with a raised brow. “You are delaying again, why? Did you enjoy the two days you spent in darkness do to his prank. I suspect he had a nice laugh at your expense.”

“Naruto shed tears when he asks me not to kill him. I have given my word as long as he does not interfere with my life….”

“He shed tears for the entire night in the Hot Spring Village. He still has nightmares, and he cries in his sleep.” Shino looks up at him, his face scowling. “Perhaps you asked to stay at his place and he put you off; more than likely he doesn’t want you to hear his cries in the dark.” His voice drops to a dangerous hush always a sign of his evil intent. “Do you consider what he did this week ‘interfering’?”

The dark shade turns away looking in the direction of Naruto’s home; he had decided he didn’t want to know; especially after the nightmare; but now considering how much the fool, Sasuke had made him and the pain he caused Naruto he wants to know everything. “I am fond of you Kimi; do you want to keep it that way?”

“Sure I do.” He simpers knelling down looking at Shino.

“You must have promised not to tell anyone.” Kimimaro nods both understood he would need to ask the right questions to get the answers he wants. “How might a person discover something from someone they could not ask directly?” The answer coming to him, now that he asked the question before the pale man answered.

“How did they find out information from you?” he smiles as Shino gazed over his shades at him a deadly glitter in his eyes.

*Sasuke’s Mistake!*

Sasuke stood dripping wet from his early morning shower, holding a picture of Team Kakashi. His dark eyes fixed on Naruto. ‘Why is it bugging me ‘No, it hurts…’ He asked for it; ‘Please stop…’ and he liked it. ‘Please take it out…’ Placing the picture back on the desk, he searches the back of his wardrobe. Pulling out a nicely designed black Kimono with the Uchiha Crest on the back and smaller crest along the sleeves; a present nearly two years old for his birthday; the last his teammate gave him. He never wore it before; tossing in on his he gets dressed. ‘I wonder what he’s been up to; the idiot probably got lost going to that stupid festival. I wonder how that worked out, festival’s are just not my thing; the idiot asked me a hundred times to go; does not know how to take no for an answer.’

Dressing carefully, running a comb through his hair, he did not bother with his forehead protector; in his opinion, it did not fit the dress. He felt slightly nervous leaving his home; but since it was very early too many people would not notice him. However, by the time he reached Naruto’s apartment, he had sacks of goods from merchants that wanted him to deliver things to the blonde ninja for deeds well done. Sasuke’s arms full up to his chin, making it difficult to see; as he enters the building cursing Naruto and the dam dress, he wore just for him.

*Early Morning Visitors*

Naruto moans bucking his hips forward his hand deep in the auburn and brown hair; holding the head down, even as he resist the delightful contact. “Shi n..no don’t touch me there!” he gasp his mind whirling in the sensual touches from his lover.

Shino gazes up from Naruto’s nipple; his fingers pause in there dance around his navel. “Hum? But you sound so adorable when you are excited like this; I love the sound of your voice.” He whispers in his sexy deep voice.

Raising his head off the bug lord’s fluffy pillows, staring entranced by the violet eyes twinkling up at him an amorous glow around his features Naruto wonders. ‘Somehow this guy got me here for a pillow fight. Now I am half-naked and he is driving me crazy with that mouth. “Uhmm, I thought we would have a nice pillow fight; what are you doing?”

He chuckles, his dazzling eyes slanting close; Heh..heh “Yes, I win.”

“What! How did I loose already? I just got here!” He storms glaring at the grinning face.

Shino sits up on his knees between Naruto’s legs; pulling his Yukata off in one sweeping motion revealing his carved body; muscles glistening and jumping intermittently as he flexed a brilliant light shining behind him. With the same fluid movement, he snatches off Naruto pants tossing them aside.

“You see, you are ready for me to take complete advantage of you in the most delightful ways.” He falls forward on Naruto’s body this time his tongue traces a circular pattern around his navel, while one hand toys with a pebbled nipple and the other strokes his aroused disposition.

Naruto melts squirming agony his mind spinning in whatever direction Shino’s tongue leads. The licking mouth lifts, so dose Naruto’s head, sweat dampening his face, too shock for words as he stares at the Violet eyes stars dance around Shino’s face.

“You know Naruto I can do all sort of things with this mouth.” He says seductively his bass voice rumbling from his chest, and vibrating through Naruto’s aching need. “Shall I show you?” he licks his lips in an erotic suggestion as the hand wrapped around Naruto’s length points it toward the protruding tongue. “Do you want me to show you, Tenshi?” the deep voice questions softly.

Naruto could think of nothing he would love more than to have that mouth wrapped around his penis. Pushing his hips forward; “YES!!! YES! YES! OH GOD YES!” his heart racing as Shino opens his mouth wide preparing to engulf his erection.

((Knock! Knock! Knock!))

“Someone is knocking.” Shino says looking toward the door.

“I don’t care! Go ahead!” Thrusting his hips higher, so his protrusion bumps the males chin.

((KNOCK! KNOCK!! KNOCK!!!))

“I will get it don’t move!” he leaves the bed.

Naruto makes to grab for him and falls hard.

((THUMP! BUMP!))

“Ow! Tai! Ah!” Naruto pulls the blanket off his head gazing around his own apartment. “What? How did I get here? Where is Shino?”

((KNOCK! KNOCK!! KNOCK!!!))

He jumps to his feet someone knocking at his door. ‘Damn that was the best dream! It better be important!’ he stomps to the door; vaguely noticing the sky had not fully lighted. ‘Too damn early!’ He fumes.

“Ok, damit stop!” he snaps as the knocking becomes persistent.

Flipping the locks and pulling the door, he glares red eyed and disheveled in his orange PJ pants and light blue tee shirt. “What!” He growls impatiently hoping to get back to bed to finish the dream.

“Wow, Naruto-kun ayou have a bigger boner than me!” Kimimaro exclaims. “What were you dreaming about!” sneaky smile curling his lips.

Naruto face turns blood red as he looks down shocked at the front of his protruding pants. “Oh! I am sorry! Umm excuse me!” Throwing his hands over his protrusion, he disappears in bathroom.

Kimimaro steps in the apartment gazing around with interest. Everything neatly organize and clean; walking to the bed; the only thing out of place, he lift the blanket off the floor.

When Naruto returns he can smell tea brewing and Kimimaro sitting nonchalantly at his breakfast table. He turns pale green eyes on him offering him a placating smile. “All better now?”

Scratching the back of his head his face still a vibrant red Naruto nods. ‘It took so long to go down even with the cold shower. He probably thinks I did it myself.’ He sat at the table looking grim.

Kimimaro stood walking in the kitchen as another scent caught Naruto nose; he brightened instantly a large bowl of Ramen was placed in front of him.

“Cheer up; it happens to all of us.” He smiles kindly and pours a cup of tea scented with orange and ginger.

“Thank you!” Naruto chimed brightly; “I love that tea Shino gave me some like that when…” he broke off embarrassed again by the image of the two of them in the shower together.

“Did he? I taught him how to make this, so I guess it will be as good as you remember.” He took a seat across from the blonde ninja staring at him fondly.

Naruto pauses in slurping up the delicious Ramen to sip the tea. He looks up, “Something is different, the last one made me very relaxed.”

“Oh that must have been a tea that heals chakra stress to the body.” He smiles again. “This is just regular tea; the other one would put you asleep quickly.

“Oh I see,” he sip some more then quickly resumes eating the Ramen. “So did you need something to come so early?”

Kimimaro continues gazing, he did not interrupt Naruto’s meal. Soon the bright ninja lifts the bowl drinking the last bit of broth. “Wow nothing like Ramen for breakfast.” He exclaims happily wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

“Unless it’s sex.” Kimimaro retorts loudly; grabbing the empty bowl taking it to the sink.

Naruto flinched then laughed nervously, his dream coming back in full force. ‘Yeah and I could have had some if you did not show up for five more minutes, make that twenty more minutes.’ “So what can I do for you?” A brief image of the dream flashing before his mind; he thought he could smell lavender.

He turns from the sink drying the bowl that he just cleaned. “How are you feeling since the return home?”

Looking into the pale eyes, Naruto knew what he meant he dropped his eyes he wishing he could forget but things kept reminding him. “I’m ok, I stop have nightmares; so I’m ok.”

Kimimaro lifted the teapot to replenish his tea; then sat across from him. “Shino said things are moving in a good direction.”

Lifting his eyes to him Naruto nods. “He said it like that.” He gazed out his window on the other side of his bed. “We had a great time; I think I really like him.” He lean his hand against his chin; his elbow on the table.

“Do you, I’m glad to hear that. I know he feels deeply for you.”

“Yeah, he is a great guy.” His eyes appearing out of focus; “We did all sort of things, played games, road in a hot air balloon; so much fun and then we went to a hot spring.”

“Did you enjoy yourself there as well?” His voice drops to almost a whisper.

“We sure did, he wash my hair.” Naruto voice still half-dreamy; as if memorized by the memory; then his face darkened his eyes back on his houseguest. “I want to ask you a question.”

“Shoot.” He too lounged on an elbow, his eyes fixedly on Naruto.

“You told me that relationships with two men are the same; after last night, I see what you mean.” He paused; thinking about the person, he likes so much. “Kimi, will it hurt to have sex with him?”

“Do you think you are too young for such ideas?” his voice understanding not chastising.

“I know, it’s too soon but, I just want to know; if…” he stop talking turning his eyes back to the window, the sky looking bluer. “When Sasuke did that, I thought I would die from the pain; last night I froze, I kept thinking what if he goes too far and it happens again.”

Kimimaro stares for several moments, when he spoke again his voice a little tight. “How did you go forward, through the fear?”

Naruto considered how he had done that realizing it was not him; inside he still could feel the same apprehension. “Shino, he help me trust him. I don’t want to feel hesitant when our time comes; I don’t want him to lead all the time; I want to move along beside him.” He turns his head back to Kimimaro’s unwavering gaze.

“That sounds like the kind of commitment that should discuss issues of sex openly. Remember being honest with your partner is the first step to enjoying intimacy. You should discuss the things that bother you with Shino; he is very patient, I’m sure he would want to ease your mind.”

“I can’t do that Kimimaro-san; he would find out what Sasuke did... what I let him do!” he raise his forearm to his eyes; wiping his face roughly.

“Why would you take any blame; when you consent to an encounter….”

Naruto turned furious eyes on him, the pupil tinted red. “That’s not what happen! I did not invite him! He just took what he wanted!”

Kimimaro sat up straight; the hand clasping the mug shook slightly staring at the rage inside Naruto eyes. “Then why say it’s your fault,” he snap back at the defiant glare.

“Because!” Naruto screamed, “I should HAVE STOPPED HIM!” he slammed his balled fist into the table, his whole body shaking in anger and humiliation. Vaguely realizing he never told Kimimaro how it happen; or what happen. He just accepted that the two of them had agreed to be together and one went too far. Some how that made it feel worse that this person believes he agreed to have sex with Sasuke. Tears fell from his eyes, he lowered his head as far as he could, he did not want to cry again especially in front of this man. For several minutes, they both sat quiet; aside from Naruto’s deep breathing as he tried to master the anger and disgrace he feels inside. ‘How will I move pass this feeling when the time comes to be intimate. What kind of lover will I be if I do not trust?’

“Won’t you tell me what happen, Naruto-kun?” The voice soft and calm; reminds him of something.

Naruto wipes his teary face with his forearm again turning his face toward his window but not seeing it his mind going back to the shower. “It was my fault, you saw how I am in the morning; I get like that after training too. So I thought I would take care of it in the shower; while I was in there Sasuke shows up.” He paused taking deep breaths. The profile of his face wet with tears as he continues to gaze out the window; biting the back of his hand thoughtfully, he sighs deeply. “He just came behind me and I didn’t stop him; I don’t know what I was thinking; I should have kicked him out right then; but…” Fat tears slid down the wide blue eye; then he frowned deeply; “Why did he do that!” his teeth clenched together. “I should have stopped him before anything could… it’s my fault for allowing him to…” He cast his eyes down again, deep sobs echoing from his throat.

Kimimaro stares at the weeping blonde ninja, his eyes never leaving the tear streak face. His lips trembled; “Naruto,” he reaches over the table placing cool fingers gently against his cheek; scented of lavender, something about that made Naruto lift his tear smear gaze to the pale green eyes with violet pupils.

“I will dry all your tears; don’t cry anymore Tenshi.”

((KNOCK! KNOCK!! KNOCK!!!))

“Open the door donki.” Sasuke’s voice calls.

Kimimaro stands slowly to answer the door, Naruto’s clouded mind realizes what he calls him; his eyes flick to the nicely made bed. Then shot back to the opening door he begins to rise from the table Kimimaro taking the upper most bags from the one calling him an idiot. Naruto glimpses Sasuke’s face; before he hears Kimimaro’s soft light voice drop several octaves to Shino’s rumbling bass.

“Naruto! Do not interfere!” His hand barely flicks in Naruto’s direction as a four foot by three foot glove of Kikai shove him back in his chair; slamming him against the wall; pinning him there.

Sasuke bangs the door again utilizing a few other names for his teammate. “This shit is heavy open the dam door!”

He hears the locks flipping; ‘Idiot’s a ninja why do you bother with locks.’ The door opens slowly and several bundles on the top lift out of his arms. “Let me in so I can put this….” He chokes on his last words as Kimimaro’s hand wraps around his throat. The face dissolves like swirling smoke into Shino.

“Stop! Shino!” Naruto yells pinned by the destruction bugs although they were not consuming his chakra he can sense intent to kill vibes from the tiny insects.

Sasuke arms drops all packages shot to the forearm lifting him several feet off the ground; cutting his air as it squeezes tighter by the second. Then his face drawn closer toward the one cutting his air supply; Aburame Shino he quakes. Time running out as the lack of oxygen is causing him to lose consciousness.

Shino stares at the writhing Uchiha in his grip. “Ohayo Uchiha Sasuke.” He leers, squeezing so tightly on the scrawny neck he can feel the muscles crushing. “You had your fun the other day,” gazing over the top of his shades; “now it’s my turn!”

“SHINO NO!!” Naruto bellows.

“First!” Shino hisses through clench teeth dozens of Kikai swarm around Sasuke sucking his chakra dangerously low. “You are alive because of my will alone.” Sasuke’s body trembles, as he struggles to gain the upper hand, however the chakra-consuming bug left him far too weak to launch a defense.

Naruto screams again, still fighting to get free, “GET THE HELL OFF HIM SHINO!”

“Second! I don’t like people to make a fool out of me!” Holding him at arms length, he punches Sasuke directly in the face, still clenching him in his right hand; the hit knocks the boys head nearly all the way back; blood erupting from his nose, and mouth.

His head whipping back as the room around him began to fade he could still hear Naruto yelling from a distance. When, he felt his body slam hard against the floor; the hand still crushing his neck; blood pooling in his mouth he gags for breath a deep whine of pain and anger presses through Sasuke blood tinted teeth. Opening his eyes barely able to focus the guy baring his teeth hissing at him.

“Third! You hurt my friend! You are evil! IT IS JUDGMENT DAY!! UCHIHA SASUKE!! DIE!!” he shouts in the raven’s face.

Sasuke eyes caught the sight of a kunai spinning in a large hand as he buried in his fist so that when he punches his victim the knife would plunge deeper, in the wake of the force. The sound of an echoing chirping noise echoes distantly.

Naruto eyes burned red as the kunai appears in Shino’s left hand. He yells the Kikai attack consuming vast amounts of chakra and dieing from the effects.

“GET OFF HIM SHINO! DON’T KILL SASUKE!” his voice a gutter animal growl.

Kakashi took the steps six at a time; running in all out speed his hand full of vibrant light, he pushes himself as he heard Naruto’s final words. His heart burning to stop him before it is too late.

The words reach some dark chamber of his heart; ‘Please don’t Shino!’ More the sound of the voice the memory of the tears; the blue eyes; his heart rate began to rise; a flutter in his tense abdomen. He can hear the Kikai attacking due to Naruto’s strength; trying to keep the blonde ninja out of the fight; attacking and dieing by the hundreds; ‘release him’. Shino’s fist is already in motion screaming in Sasuke’s face. His own tears for Naruto sting his eyes he knows the Jonin has arrive….

Kakashi charges….

Sasuke faints…

Naruto brakes free…
