Slaves and Their Masters

A/N: Alright, I seriously love you gals and guys. 8 reviews and 160 hits in 24 hours. Thats amazing! Especially when I was fully expecting to be flamed and told to never write another fic again. It motivated me to write this and post it today even though I said probably 2-3 weeks until next update. This chapter has the beginnings of some citrus in it. It will be continued in the next chapter. Though it could be out tomorrow or whenever I get time to write. Most likely tomorrow if I get good feedback.

Mee, Carman, HumanInfiltrator, Eva and Inigeshi: TYVM!
Hanyou-elf: Ty for the nice words. I hope it lives up to your expectations.
Ladywolf Terri: I'll probably take you up on your offer to bounce ideas off of you. I'm playing with a few idea's for Orochimaru still. He's actually quite amuzing to play with. I read all of your stories and I'm still waiting for my brain to recover from the massive nose bleeds.
Jinx: TY! I've been looking for someone to beta for ages. Expect to hear from me shortly lol.


Chapter 2- The Escape Precautions and Going Home

Itachi blinked and a small frown of contemplation crossed his face.

"Umino Iruka?"

"Yes Aniki," Sasuke replied.

Why is he frowning like that?

"When was this Umino subject brought in?"

"He was brought in last week. I believe he was one of your captures, Itachi," the man on Itachi's left replied with a grin.

"Ah, yes. That’s why the name sounded familiar," Itachi murmured. "What is his complacency level?"

Complacency level?

A snort came from the direction of Kisame.

"Complacency level is the level of resistance a subject gives when being processed after being brought in," Kisame offered. "Iruka was a three on a scale of one to five. He refused to eat for the first two days and made one hell of a racket until we had him sedated. He might make some objections to becoming a servant. Especially the type that you would need Itachi," Kisame glance at the man in question and Itachi shrugged. "But there are ways you can 'convince' him. Now Naruto here, is a level one."

"A ONE?!?" Sasuke gasped and shot a look at the blonde.

"Yes, a one. I figured life as a slave would be better than life on the streets. I even came in voluntarily, which is why I'm not on a sedative of any kind. Kisame found me hiding from a group of knife wielding homeless men and offered me a way out. Its a place to stay, even if it is relatively cramped and dirty, and 3 meals a day," Naruto answered with downcast eyes.

"...?" The question was in Sasuke's eyes.

"My mom had-"

"What's happening here?!?" A furious shout came from the left.

Sasuke turned slightly to see the man that was staring at Naruto earlier stalking towards them angrily with his partner following behind him at a slightly slower pace, as if he wanted to keep a distance between himself and the angry Mr.Orochimaru.

"Ah, Orochi," Kisame responded with a grin. "Itachi is just purchasing this boy for his brother," he said while gesturing towards Sasuke.

"It's mister Orochimaru to you and I want this boy. The little brat sent me in the wrong direction to find you. I spotted him first. He belongs to me," the near-spitting man furiously.

"Actually, he belongs to Mr.Uchiha here. If you remember back to when you were a partner five years ago, you should be able to recall that members get first priority when choosing subjects for personal use. If you would take another look around our new premises, I'm sure you could find a different subject to interest you for a while," Kisame smirked.

"Maybe we could work something out. I can pay you three times what Itachi is offering for him," Orochimaru tried to bargain.

"That's not possible since Naruto here is free of charge," Kisame winked in Sasuke's direction as Sasuke's eyes widened. "Its my birthday present to little Sasuke here. Unlike yourself, who is on your seventh or eighth subject, Itachi here has never purchased one. He has also been the best subject finder Akatsuki has ever seen. Also, there's has never been a single complaint about a special order he has brought in."

Special order?

"A buyer will come in with exact specifications and if we have nothing that fits the order, we send someone to find a subject that matches. Your brother is the best of the best and gets it perfect every time," Kisame explained, once again responding to the unspoken question on Sasuke's face. "Anyways, Orochi, I suggest you head on your own way before I get angry and call Zetsu down to deal with you. You remember Zetsu don't you?"

Sasuke watched Orochimaru's face pale slightly.

"I suppose I'll be on my way then. This isn't over Itachi, Sasuke. I'll have this boy as my own soon enough," Orochi swore with a threatening smirk(A/N: I know its cliché, but I couldn't resist). He turned and walked towards the exit, followed by Kabuto.

"Now that he's gone, I suggest we get Naruto and the other subject cleaned up and the proper precautions implanted. I'll be right back with the stuff."

Kisame headed towards the office leaving Sasuke and Itachi to stand in silence.

"Naruto, what were you going to say before we were interrupted? Something about your mother?" Sasuke asked.

"Ask me about it later Sasuke. I don't want to ruin my good mood from being bought by discussing her."

Sasuke nodded. He spotted Kisame striding towards them with a briefcase and a set of keys. Kisame opened the cell and helped Naruto out.

"Come on Naruto, help me get the other subject over beside the office and strip him down for the shower."

Naruto nodded and followed Kisame to the other man's cell.

He watched as they carried the disoriented Iruka towards the open shower area and Kisame placed the briefcase on a large table where some towels and clothes were already sitting. Sasuke's eyes widened as they stripped Iruka down to nothing and Naruto started removing his own clothes.

What is he doing?!?

Sasuke stared, fascinated, as each button came undone and the shirt fell away to reveal a skinny but well-formed torso. He gulped when Naruto pushed his pants down, leaving him in tattered boxer shorts. Naruto glanced up at him and blushed before removing his boxers as well. Sasuke's eyes widened and he swallowed as he took in the figure standing naked before him.

He couldn't breathe, he couldn't think, so he just looked. His attention was riveted to the flaccid member in front of him.

Oh my God... I wonder how big he is when he's turned on...

Naruto's blush deepened and he turned away to place Iruka under the cascade of water.

Sasuke felt his face heat up as he adjusted his rapidly tightening pants. He glanced up at his brother to find Itachi silently appraising Iruka the same way he was admiring Naruto moments before. He turned away while Naruto and Iruka finished getting clean but couldn't help but glance again as Naruto moved out of the water to grab the towel Kisame was holding out to him. The raven watched Naruto quickly dry himself, wrap the towel around his waist and assist in getting Iruka dried off.

The clicks of opening clasps came from behind him and he tore his eyes from Naruto's body to find Kisame preparing three hypodermic needles. The first contained a clear liquid. Sasuke watched as Kisame injected it into Iruka's arm and Iruka sagged against Naruto.

"Naruto, place the subject face down over the table with his feet flat on the floor. Then assume the same position."

Kisame picked up the other two needles and walked towards the two men now bent over the table and he lifted the edge of Iruka's towel to bare his right buttocks. The needle was then inserted and Iruka let out a groan of pain as the plunger was pressed down. Kisame then repeated the procedure on Naruto, who grimaced, and turned to face Sasuke.

"As a new owner, Sasuke, it is important that you know the tools at your disposal for dealing with wayward subjects. What I implanted into Naruto and the other subject are specially designed tracking nodes we had Sasori build and they are impossible to remove. They are not available to the general public. Only high paying customers with subjects of level three complacency or over can purchase them. The nodes can send a signal from any run away subject within a three hundred mile radius. Itachi has the device need to pick up and track the signal if needed. Here are the collars."

Kisame pulled two necklace box sized containers from his briefcase and handed them to Itachi.

Sasuke exploded.

"That’s barbaric!"

Kisame grinned at him.

"May be 'barbaric' but it does stop most subjects from escaping. It will also keep the Umino subject from becoming violent and will make him behave quite nicely. The first needle was a dose of a high-powered tranquilizer that shouldn't wear off for another two to three hours so it should keep the subject relaxed until you can get him home and the collar on him."

"The collars are harmless as long as the subject stays within the designated area. If the subject crosses the invisible barrier, the collar is activated and sends enough electricity through the subject's brain to render them unconscious. The collars can only be removed with one of the rings the members of Akatsuki wear. There are also devices we call 'panic' buttons. If at any time an owner feels physically threatened by a subject, the owner hits the button and it tells the collar to shock the subject. There are two different levels. The first one just hurts a lot and is meant to teach a lesson and the second option has the same effect as crossing the barrier. Itachi has several of these as well. I would suggest a collar for Umino as soon as you get him to your home but Naruto is fairly harmless."

Kisame gestured towards the now clothed Naruto and Iruka.

"I gave Naruto a node because its unlikely he will have to wear a collar but its even more unlikely that he will try to escape, so its just a precaution.”

Itachi nodded and gestured to Sasuke and Naruto that it was time to leave and they were to follow and they slowly made their way to the exit with Naruto half carrying Iruka. Naruto stumbled once or twice with his burden but Itachi stopped Sasuke from going to help him by gripping his upper right arm painfully hard.

The drive home was relativly uneventful with Iruka babbling nonsense in the backseat and Naruto staring out the window. Sasuke nodded off in the front seat and was woken by his brother almsot immediatly.

"Sasuke, I need you alert. Iruka looks as if the sedative is wearing off and you may need to help Naruto restrain him until we get him inside and the collar on. I need you to jump in the back the moment I stop and be ready for him. Put this fabric in his mouth to prevent him from shouting," Itachi muttered, pasing Sasuke a peice of cloth

Sasuke glaced back to see Iruka was indeed behaving semi-coherantly. Itachi pulled over and he jumped in the back seat on the side of Iruka opposite of Naruto and fitted the cloth into Iruka's mouth.

"Naruto, you grab one wrist and I grab the other, alright?"

"Okay."

He felt the moment Iruka realized what was happening. Iruka had completely tensed up, like a compressed spring.

"Naruto! He's awake!"

"Got him!"

The brunette started struggling like his life depended on it, throwing his arms this way and that. Sasuke was shocked Iruka had so much power to him after a week of limited movement.

"Hold him down! We're almost home!"

Sasuke looked up to see gates bearing the Uchiha crest opening.

Almost there, just a little longer...

Iruka started struggling even harder, tears streaming down his face. Both Sasuke and Naruto were fighting for control over his upper body, his lower body being held in place for the most part by the cramped space of the backseat.

Itachi stopped the car and opened Naruto's door. Naruto climbed out while still managing to hold onto Iruka's wrist. The second Iruka was fully out of the car Itachi grabbed a handful of his hair and pulled so Iruka's neck was pulled taut. Sasuke caught a glimpse of something silver hanging from Itachi's free hand. The silver thing was placed around the brunettes neck and he was dragged forcibly towards the house by his hair by Itachi. Sasuke and Naruto still each had a hold of a wrist but Iruka was still struggling too hard for them to try to help Itachi drag him into the house.

Iruka let out a small but audible sigh of relief when Itachi let go of his hair to unlock the door. The instant Iruka's upper half had cleared the door, Itachi reached down and snapped the collar closed. Sasuke watched as Itachi took off his ring and pressed it into an indent in the collar.

Itachi reached into his pocket and pulled out a little round disc with two buttons on it. Sasuke froze.

That’s the shock collar remote! Itachi can't seriously be thinking of using it!

He had his answer when Iruka's body started violently jerking.

"ANIKI! STOP IT!"

Itachi let go of the button he was holding down and Iruka's back straightened as he gasped for breathe on the floor at Itachi's feet.

"Sasuke, why don't you take Naruto and show him to your room. I have to introduce myself to Iruka."

"Please don't shock him again! Promise, Aniki!"

"I promise nothing Otouto."

Sasuke saw Naruto incline his head towards the grand stairs in the center of the foyer and nodded, reluctantly leaving Iruka alone with Itachi.

When Itachi heard Sasuke's door close, he sprung into action. He hefted Iruka over his shoulder and headed to his rooms on the lower level.

"If you move a single muscle until we get downstairs, I will hit the button again. Nod if you understand."

He felt the jerk of a head and smiled.

Iruka was still until the moment they reached the bottom of the stairs, but still being weak from the electric shock, he wasn't able to inflict any damage with Itachi's one arm holding him in place.

Itachi opened the door to his rooms and threw Iruka towards his bed. He heard Iruka hit with a muffled thud and spun to quickly hit the light switch. The dark rooms were lit with a dim light that cast long shadows over the deep crimson walls. The elder raven stalked over to the bed and gripped Iruka's chin between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand and stared into his eyes.

"You are now the Uchiha's main servant. You will follow my order explicitly and, when I okay it, you will obey Sasuke, my younger brother. You will address me as "Master" and Sasuke as "Young Master" Anything movement can be interpreted as a threat to my person, will be considered one and you can expect treatment like you received upstairs. You cannot escape. That nifty collar you are wearing will fry you alive if you try to pass through any door in this house. Understand?"

Iruka glared at him and nodded and gurgled words came through the cloth in his mouth.

"Glad we're on the same page."

Itachi removed the cloth from Iruka's mouth.

"If you think-"

Iruka's mouth was suddenly occupied by another. His eyes widened as he realized it was Itachi's. He froze, not knowing how to react.

"Kiss me."

Itachi pushed him back against the bed and covered his body with his own.

A tongue was licking at his lips and he opened his mouth slightly. His own tongue hesitantly brushed against the one invading his mouth. The taste of hot chocolate assailed his senses and he let out a moan. Hands were snaking up his shirt and he jumped when his nipples were pinched harshly. His growing erection twitched against the leg laying between his own.

"Do you like that?"

Iruka whimpered slightly.

"Answer me!"

"Y-Yes..."

"Yes, what?"

"Yes... Master"

A/N: Besides being my first fic, this is also my first attempt at this sort of stuff so harsh constructive critisism needed! So for the sake of a lemon, review!
