Royalty and Demons

A/N: My, My. Here's the second chapter, sorry, it took longer to edit than I thought it would. Don't worry Tara, I will be updating, and I promise to try and answer all of your questions in future chapters. And I don't plan for any Mpreg, so no worries Germaine. And thank you for everyone else who reviewed. It pleased me greatly.

Itachi stepped into the torture chamber. He looked fondly around at his new machines, and even his old ones. Soon they would be filled with enemy soldiers and he would have a lot of fun. He shook his sadistic thoughts away and stepped over to the wall that housed the demon.

“Demon.” He called, his voice smooth and laced with threat.

“What?” Somewhere inside the cell the voice boomed out.

“I want you to fight in a war for me.”

Itachi shivered as a strange aura filled the room. It was menacing, but it didn’t scare him. He was impressed with the power.

“If you release me, I’ll destroy you.”

“So I take it that’s a no?”

“It’s a hell no.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sasuke glared at the door, he knew immediately who was behind it. He thought giving the girl her own room and servants would keep her occupied, but she seemed to find the time to bother him several times a day.

The knocking kept going. “Come in.” He said between gritted teeth.

Sakura popped her pink head in and smiled, “Are you busy?”

Sasuke put down the paper he was reading, “It’s fine. What do you need?”

Sakura walked all the way in and shut the door behind her. She was wearing an elegant pink dress, too elegant for a typical day in the castle. Sasuke narrowed his eyes; something was going on.

“Tonight is the banquet. Did you forget?”

“I guess so.” He sighed.

Sakura smiled sweetly at him, “You seem so stressed. Perhaps we can go back to my bedroom, and I can give you a backrub.”

Sasuke immediately grabbed his shoulder. He had no intention of letting her see him without a shirt on. It revealed more secrets than he was prepared to explain. “I’m fine. I’ll see you at the banquet tonight.”

Sakura pouted, “Oh, okay then.” She gave him a soft smile, and then left.

Sasuke ran his hands through his hair. He had been able to avoid her sexual advances for the past month, but he knew it wouldn’t be long before Itachi noticed the lack of a pregnant belly from the girl.

“I need to practice.” He left his room, and went down to the training field.

It didn’t take him long to locate Kakashi. He was sitting under a tree, reading a book instead of training.

Sasuke walked up to him and quietly sat down beside him. “Did you steal that from my fath…brother’s library?”

Kakashi smiled down at the prince and closed his book. “How’s married life?”

Sasuke put his elbows on his knees, and then put his hands together, “I can’t continue to push her away. But I don’t want her. The very idea of touching…I can’t do it.”

Kakashi nodded, “You have dark circles under your eyes. Have you been sleeping well?”

“She’ll crawl into my bed in the middle of the night!” Sasuke stood up, and began pacing. “It’s like nowhere is sacred to her.”

“Is that the only problem?”

Sasuke stopped his pacing, “What do you mean?”

Kakashi gave him a knowing look. “Tell me.”

Sasuke paused and looked at the ground, “There’s this boy, he keeps invading my dreams.”

“What kind of boy?”

“I don’t know. Just this blue eyed blonde brat. It’s exhausting. I mean, I know it’s just a dream, but I wake up more tired than when I go to sleep. I don’t know what to do.”

Kakashi smiled. “I see. Do you think it has anything to do with the marriage?”

“I think it has to do with that demon. But you already know that, don’t you?”

Kakashi ignored the accusing question, “Have you gone back to see him?”

“No.”

“Maybe you should.” Kakashi handed him a key, “Just don’t be late for the banquet tonight.”

“What’s the banquet for anyway?”

Kakashi sighed, “We’re going to war.”

“Oh.” He knew his brother had planned on expanding their kingdom. “Who’s the war with?”

There was a strange look on Kakashi’s face, but it quickly disappeared, “The Sand Kingdom.”

“Sand? Is he trying to get you all killed! We had a treaty with them.”

Kakashi shook his head, and Sasuke knew that meant there would be no more discussing the issue.

~*~*~*~*~


Sasuke turned towards the torture chamber, and he was surprised to find the heavy wooden door ajar. He cautiously peeked inside but nobody was around. He took a deep breath and stepped inside.

He walked towards the wall with the barred window. The strange feeling he had felt before was gone. There was nothing pulling him towards the wall, and nothing holding him back. When he was about a foot away, he cleared his throat, “Hello?”

He heard something move inside, and expected to see bright red eyes greet him. But nothing happened.

Sasuke stepped close enough to peer inside. There was a small window about 15 feet above the floor, and it allowed a very small amount of light in. It did enough to decorate the circular cell with shadows. They were all so blurred though he couldn’t make any of them out.

“Who are you?”

Sasuke stepped back, surprised that he was actually answered. He snickered at his own fear, “I’m Prince Sasuke.” He tried to say it as dignified as possible.

There was a pause on the other side, “Why are you here? I already told the king ‘no’. So he’s sent you now?”

Sasuke scowled, so his brother was aware of this demon boy too. So why was he kept out of the loop? And what did Itachi want from an imprisoned demon?

“…What did he ask you for?”

Bright blue eyes decorated with anger appeared behind the bars, “No! I told you. I will not do it. So go back to your king and tell him...” He stopped and smelled the air. “You’re that boy.”

None of the words reached Sasuke’s ears. He was in a state of frozen shock, those eyes…those eyes that had been the source of so many wet dream, were real. And they belonged to a demon. Sasuke’s hand shook as he reached through the bars, unaware of what he was doing until he felt his hand touch something soft.

Immediately the boy behind the bars pulled away, and Sasuke found himself staring at the darkness again.

He pulled his hand back, surprised that he had actually tried to touch the boy/demon. “Get back over here.”

“Leave me alone.”

Sasuke gave a small grin, “I could ask the same thing of you.” He thought about his dreams and sighed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Itachi calmly tapped his finger on the arm of his throne. He stared at Kakashi and Iruka, listening to their analysis on the upcoming war.

“Your Majesty, tell me, do we have the aid of the demon in this war?”

Itachi shook his head, “He refuses to help those who ‘treats him so poorly’ as he puts it.”

Kakashi nodded, “Then, perhaps, it’s time to bargain with him. You are aware that the Sand has a demon child as well. Our armor will stand no chance against his magic.”

“And what bargain do you propose?” Itachi said in his monotone voice.

“Free him…” He paused at the instinct rejection he saw on Itachi’s face, “He’s never been anywhere before, and chances are he’ll be too frightened to venture far, he is still partially human.”

“So we just need a babysitter. Anyone in mind?”

Kakashi nodded, and knew he needed to say no more. While Itachi had gone through crude manners to gain power before his time, he was a very smart leader and would possibly prove to be a good king, regardless of how he received the throne.

“I see. Send my little brother to me.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sasuke tossed and turned in his sleep. The blonde demon had him pinned down and was nibbling at parts of his body. He grunted as the boy took a nipple into this mouth and sucked it until it was hard. He felt the boy’s knee pry his legs apart.

“What’s your name?” Sasuke croaked out.

“Nar…”

Sasuke jerked up in his sleep as he was woken by banging on his door. He looked down at his body. It didn’t surprise him to have an erection every single time he woke up anymore.

“What?” He growled.

“The king wishes to speak to you.”

Sasuke muttered a few obscenities, but got out of the bed and quickly got dressed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kakashi followed Sasuke towards the torture chamber.

“How am I supposed to control a demon?”

“He promised he wouldn’t kill anyone. It was part of the bargain.”

“And you believe him?”

“I have full confidence, that if the need arises, you can fight off the demon. Don’t worry, he has a collar and chain, so you can just hook him to the lock they are placed in your room.”

Sasuke’s shoulders sagged. The boy hadn’t left him alone in his dreams for the past month, and now he’d haunt his reality as well.

They entered the room and saw two guards knocking the bricks apart that had hidden the metal door. Both guards looked up when they saw Kakashi. They looked relieved. “Kakashi. I’m glad you’re here. It…it keeps threatening us.”


There was a snicker from inside the cell, and then the menacing aura that Sasuke had felt the first time he entered, filled the room. Kakashi could feel the hair on his hands stand on end. He looked over and saw Sasuke shiver, knowing the air had the same strange effect on the prince. He smirked, it probably had a worse effect on Sasuke.

“We’ll finish this, you’re free to go.” Kakashi nodded to the guards. They both looked relieved and quickly left the room.

Sasuke glared at Kakashi, “I will not help. Call them back.”

Kakashi smiled, “Can’t you feel it? The demon has appeared. With everything happening, Naruto’s fear probably allowed the demon to take over. Which means, the second he’s released…”

Sasuke nodded. He had finally been filled in on this entire monster’s past. And was well informed of the devastation the monster was capable of producing.

“Sasuke!” A feminine voice shrieked his name. Sasuke cringed and turned and waited for the pink haired girl to catch up to them. Kakashi walked over to the cell and quickly kicked the rest of the bricks in.

“Sasuke!” She clung to him, “I heard you have to take care of that…that THING! Please don’t. I don’t know what would happen if it ate you.”

Sasuke sighed and put his arm around the worried girl.

“Sasuke…please, let the guards take care of it. Come back with me. It’s a monster, a weapon for destruction. It’s not a person to take care of.”

Sasuke pushed her away, “Don’t talk about what you don’t understand. Maybe until this monster is safely away, you should keep your distance from me.” He was pleased at having a legitimate excuse to keep her away.

She smiled, “Oh, Sasuke, you sweet heart! You’re so concerned about me. Well don’t worry, I won’t do anything to endanger myself, for your sake.” She kissed him on the cheek and cheerfully left the chamber.

Sasuke stared at her as she went, wondering if all girls were as strange as she was when he heard the creaking of the metal door. He shot his head around and watched Kakashi disappear behind the door.

He waited impatiently for a few minutes for the two too emerge from the cell. He shivered again as the aura seemed to intensify. His penis throbbed in his pants. The familiar ache returned. All he wanted at the moment was to leave, and never think about the demon or the boy housing the demon ever again.

The door opened and Kakashi and the boy stepped out of the cell.

Naruto was everything he had dreamed of, only a bit shaggier. He was about the same height of Sasuke, but much tanner, which was strange, considered the demon boy saw less sun than him. His face was covered in dirt, so if the whiskered scars were there, they weren’t evident. He wore a shirt that at one time must have been white, but he had out grown it, and it rose up to right below his nipples with several rips. He had orange shorts, which were probably at one point pants.

Naruto clung to Kakashi. Kakashi patted the boy’s back. “Naruto…” He said patiently, “You’ve met Sasuke before, he’ll be the one to take care of you.”

Naruto glared at Sasuke, “I’m never going to be free of your smell, am I?”

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, “What does that mean?”

Kakashi squeezed Naruto’s arm, “Play nice.”

Naruto shook his body free from Kakashi’s grasp. “How did the shoulder heal?”

Sasuke flushed. He should have realized by now that if the boy had always been there, he would have witnessed what his brother had done to him.

Kakashi sighed and dropped the chain in Sasuke’s hand. “Maybe this was a mistake.”
