Permission To Seek

CHAPTER 21 ~ SASUKE RECOVERS!

“Wow this is great!” Kiba threw a stick hard for Akamaru to fetch; then grinned his sharp teeth at his new team captain, only a few hours ago the case against him closed. “Did you tell Hinata; I want to let her know, she will be really glad. You got a promotion, no more D missions; real stuff that’s exciting!” his dog ran back, wagging his tail pleased with himself.

Shino smiled shortly at his comrade, the other part about his expectations would need to wait; he needed to give Kiba the bad news about Hinata, and the others.

The Hospital

The shower water pours over his aching muscles and back as he steps behind the blonde-haired person tilting his head down to kisses his shoulder. ~This is how it should have been! ~The blonde-haired person reaches one arm up around his neck to pull him harder, pressing his mouth down on the tight skin. ~This is how I wanted him to touch me! ~ ‘Feels good, he is holding me; and I am making him feel good.’ Pressing his chest firmly against his back, the right hand continues to stroke the other boy’s cock while the left presses into his strong abnormal muscles, the blonde moans lifting his head up laying it against the taller dark hair male shoulder behind him. ~I need to get him to trust me, completely! ~ “Feels good;” He whispers, barely able to be heard. “I know, donki; I always think about you when I masturbate; you are just so sexy.” He smirks at the feel of the person hardening length in his grip. ~I know just what to do to get back at that cockroach! ~

He can see the blonde-haired person’s Adam Apple bouncing up and down slowly; ‘this guy is going to come, he really likes my hand job.’ ~ The only thing is to make sure I am convincing ~ licking out his tongue, running it from the tan shoulder to his neck; he whispered in his ear; “I love you Naruto.”

“Sasuke.”

“Yes.”

“Sasuke!”

“Yes?”

“SASUKE! YOU’RE ALRIGHT!”

His eyes shot open, the light in the room making him squint; then the light became blocked by brilliant blue eyes, and wild golden hair. “Naruto?” his heart rate beginning to climb, his throat parched.

“Sasuke! I’ll get someone you just said my name….” he broke off in mid-sentence, Sasuke pulling him into a bone cracking embrace; holding him to his chest as if he is a drowning victim.

“What are you doing Sasu…” his mouth seized in a powerful kiss, the dark eyes in front of him closed as the mouth sucked passionately. Naruto’s turns crimson as the full mouth press deeper. The golden ninja tries pulling away but Sasuke’s grip is too tight and the kiss makes him lightheaded. Finally able to pull back Naruto looks into the damp jet black eyes feeling slightly guilty for his desire to beat Sasuke to a pulp.

“I’m sorry Naruto; I never told you how I feel about you; and I almost died without telling you my true feelings. I don’t want to waste time, keeping things to myself.” He paused as his voice cracks. Naruto quickly pours him a cup of water and then helps him to drink. “I treated you horribly, all this time you have been showing me how much you care and I ignored you. I won’t do that anymore.” He threw his arms around the blonde-ninja neck again. “I love you Naruto.” He said his body trembling.

Speechless he didn’t know what to say, or why Sasuke was acting like this; his heart feeling heavy with the information he just received he said the first thing he can think to help calm his friend until he could get someone to look at him. “I love you too Sasuke.” At last putting his arms around him; returning the hug.

In the hall outside Sasuke’s door Shino leans hard against the wall his heart rate dropping, a nauseous feeling growing behind his navel. ‘Life is amusing;’ he thinks bitterly as he walks out of the hospital before he kills them both. So angry he did not notice Hyuga Neji lurking in the shadows of an empty room, Byakugan exposed eyeing Naruto with every intention to kill him.

Pulling away again easing Sasuke back on the bed Naruto stood looking at the glassy eyed expression on his nemesis; ‘What am I going to do now?’ “Just be still, I’ll get someone to take a look at you.”

“Naruto I can’t remember everything that happen; can you help me fill in the gaps?” his eyes full of interest and acknowledgment. Something Naruto wanted for years; Naruto smiles.

“Just wait, I’ll be back.” He step quickly to the door, then glances back at the jet black eyes, his hair messier than it has ever been staring at him. He left the room walking quickly to the nurse station, not noticing Neji enter Sasuke’s room.

“So you have recovered.” He walks to the window, over looking a small water channel that cut through the Hidden Leaf; wondering if he should free himself of the desire for this dark knight and kill them both when the blonde returns. ‘How will that benefit me?’

“What do you want?” Cold and cutting, Sasuke’s eyes flashed red. ‘This prick could ruin everything he better make it quick and get lost.’

The pale eyes fix on him. “So you reserve all good things for that imbecile; what about me?” Killing him becoming more appealing; his answer will decide the next move.

“What about you? Have you changed your mind about Hinata? Last I recall getting her to agree to marry you is your primary desire; what do you expect from me, if you take a wife?” His voice drops to a dangerous hiss. ‘I am so going to enjoy making him pay for asking me stupid questions. “You are not so delusional that you think there is more between you and me than convenience?”

“In that position I will change many things; I want you to be part of those changes.” He narrows his eyes. What started as a friendship with occasional benefits turns into a twisted affair in which favor of a different sort went both ways. Neji has access to information that will allow Sasuke to close the gap on Itachi; as well as strength that Neji vows to lend when the Uchiha left for the final pursuit of his brother. Sasuke provides Neji the type of fulfillment that he cannot get anywhere else. It is not as if he takes applications for sadist. In addition, having a completely unrelated person kill the dog trainer is the most appealing option for now.

“Your head is as vacant as your eyes, if you think I’m going to play the mistress; while you keep your pseudo happy home.” Sasuke spat contemptuously Sharingan eyes flashing no sign of weakness from the recovery.

Neji leans casually against the wall he heart trapped by the viscous words; longing for the boy to grow so the eyes could punish him for presuming too much. “Well, someone has not been as sick as it would appear; already making new moves to insure to have the advantage. I don’t believe you have any more emotions for that imbecile than you do for me; why the confession?”

Sasuke glanced out the window; smirking. “Jealous?” Neji did not answer. “Too bad I found something much more appealing than your whiny begging to be dominated needs.” Flashing his eyes back at the furious look on Neji’s face, he grins. “I have my reasons; he will give me all I need so F*** off.” The grin melted away; only a cold glare remained.

Standing up straight meeting the cold glare, “I don’t see how he will, once I kill him.” He warned his voice dropping dangerously.

Naruto lead the way back to Sasuke’s room. Just before he opens the door, he heard Sasuke’s voice “Just keep your distance!” He paused briefly then pushed in the room gazing around.

The door opens Naruto and Tsunade enter the room followed closely by Sakura. Neji eyes flick to Naruto, ‘Perhaps death is delayed.’

He got a chilling feeling as his eyes clashed with the other ninja standing at the window in a far corner eyeing him. ‘What happen that Sasuke had to tell him to keep back?’ He turned his attention back to Sasuke, wanting to make sure he is all right.

“Oh Sasuke-kun, I’m so glad you are feeling better.” Sakura chimed.

“Well, I didn’t think the technique I used would lift so quickly, but you are a remarkable boy. Your body has decided you had enough rest.” Tsunade stepped to the bed to check his vitals.

Naruto watches with interest Sasuke’s eyes focus on him the entire time made him uneasy that he will blab to everyone about his feelings. ‘I don’t get him at all, why is he acting this way?’

“I feel better, when can I return to doing missions?” Sasuke asked with an apprehensive edge in his tone.

Neji half laughs causing everyone to turn in his direction. “So quickly he recovers it’s almost unbelievable?”

“What are you doing here?” Naruto says more firmly than appropriate.

Neji glares at him; Tsunade glance over her shoulder at the vibes she just caught. “There will be no fighting in here; whatever you have to say to one another do it well away from the hospital.” She turned back to Sasuke.

“Naruto,” Sasuke called, “Can you stay a little longer?”

He scratched the back of his head, turning to face Sasuke, he only stopped in to see him for a few minutes; Kiba told him he would need to meet the new team leader and he was very late for that. ‘That guy is going to think I’ve been with Kaka-sensei too long.’ “I’m sorry Sasuke, I need to go meet some people; but I’ll come back as soon as I can.” Inwardly, Naruto did not want to be alone with his teammate for another Uchiha kiss.

“A few more days Sasuke and you can meet your knew team captain as well.” She smiled at him.

“What? What happen to Kakashi?’ he looks at everyone in wonder.

Naruto left, it made him sad to think that his last words to the Jonin were ‘Stay the hell out of my life!’

KAKASHI’S INVESTIGATION

Sitting in the darkened room his mind plowed over the days events. The most upsetting being his argument with Iruka after the trial:

“Kakashi-san you really need to let it go the 5th did what she felt was most appropriate given the circumstances.”

“She is a fool, and you’re a fool if you think I will believe that garbage!”

“Kakashi there are very good circumstances surrounding the case that the 5th may have taken into consideration….”

“WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES JUSTIFY THAT FREAK TRYING TO KILL SASUKE?”

“Do not take that voice with me. Sasuke needs to face the consequences of his own actions. He got the beating he deserved; I cannot say more than that. Perhaps you should train him in a manner that doesn’t revolve around violence as means of getting what he wants!”

“Iruka! You are once again walking on dangerous ground; if you had not interfered back in that village; this situation may have been avoided!”

“Nothing would have avoided this situation! You are so dense! You think the ground that boy walks on is hollowed! Get your lips off his ass and see him for the selfish, manipulating, evil bastard he is!”

“You don’t know him!”

“YES I DO! I KNOW ENOUGH KAKASHI, I KNOW ENOUGH!”

“Iruka, I’m not done talking with you!”

“I am done!”

His heart shuddered thinking of the look in the chestnut brown eyes how distant and cold. ‘That man has a terrible temper, but look who’s talking; my temper is far worse.’ He walked to the window gazing down the empty streets; in the distance, he could see him approaching. Turning away to hide himself he thought ‘I wouldn’t be so concerned if Scar Face hadn’t added a little more mystery. Remembering his conversation a few hours ago:

“Kakashi, what brings you to these parts? Not here to relieve me, are you?”

“You spent some time with that Aburame kid; get a feel on him?”

“Hmmm…. Don’t’ like how it went down?”

“I am working very hard on that, can you be of assistance? Was there another reason he reacted like that to Sasuke?”

“Well, of the six days I stood guard only the first twenty hours was he really put through the ordeal.” “heh heh” “That brat’s tough.”

“Did he add anything besides the stupid Henge nonsense?”

“No, not one word; a kid after my own heart.”

“Just as I thought, that kid is just one step away from total lunatic.”

“You think so? I disagree.”

“What, I don’t get him at all; he nearly kills Sasuke and then turns around and had the nerve to ask me to extend an apology; crazy bastard all over a stupid prank!”

“Tell me Kakashi-san who did he offer an apology to?”

“I don’t see what difference it makes; Naruto.”

“Heh heh; I suspected, even though the brat didn’t so much a shed a hair when I asked.”

“What are you getting at, please explain.”

“You see Kakashi-san; that boy reacted to something much bigger than Henge; the rumors of him having a quick temper are true. Nevertheless, no more true then how you or I would react if someone smacked us in the back of the head; anyone with the balls to do that; had better find someplace to hide. I’ll rip off their hands and shove them…”

“What is your point Ibiki?”

“My point is that kid is an analyzer; strategy is his forte. I reviewed his school records as well as his missions over the last year. The kid is a genius; he never does things on impulse the type that will determine the exact steps to a chosen outcome. The kid is close to crazy, but we all when it comes are important people. There is something between that brat and Naruto; unfortunately for Sasuke he stepped in the middle; the boy reacted the way we would if we had similar circumstances.”

“That doesn’t tell me what those circumstances involve.”

“Does is matter? It seems bad enough that the Fifth is willing to overlook it; do you need more than that; he is not usually treated special. My feeling is he intended to take the Uchiha’s life; but someone changed him; any idea who can have that affect Kakashi? Heh heh.”

“Yeah, I got plenty. You know that S.O.B. Kimimaro vowed to kill Sasuke ‘if he injured Naruto in that manner again.’ Don’t know what he was referring to; he’s staying with that wacky Elder that threatened everyone at the trial; have you checked him out.”

“I got some info on him; he applied to remain in the village. I get all those; but now that you mention the cryptic warning, I can imagine only one thing that bastard Sasuke must have done to Naruto…..”


Kakashi slows his heart he hears the voices approaching the door; ‘when he is alone I will get my own answers one way or another.’ Now his presence completely concealed.

“How many times do I need to tell you? F*** off!” Sasuke roars.

“I could have killed him tonight; but the bastard ran off!” he storms back.

The silence stretches. “Neji.” Sasuke chuckles softly.

“I did not touch him.” Neji’s voice on edge.

“I told you;” his voice amused and cold. “To keep your distance, right?” he whispers.

The sounds of a crash and loud bangs as heavy objects fall. A yell of pain and then low whimpers follows the dull sounds of a fist punching a body. Kakashi raises his forehead protector slowly, keeping his presence concealed. ‘Who lost?’

“You are pathetic!” Sasuke spat leering over the crumpled form of Neji at his feet. “You will have a better chance if you just use those eyes; how is this going to be interesting for me if you won’t make it challenging?” he laughs, glaring as the white eyes turn up to face him.

Neji moans, his body suffering from numerous injuries where Sasuke had pummeled him after he put up no resistance; wanting any contact, desperate for it. He feels excited wiping the blood from the side of his mouth. “If I use these eyes, I will hurt you and how will that be fun for me!” he hissed, knowing the challenge would make Sasuke even more determined to punish him; he looked forward to it.

“Oh.” He raised his eyebrows; “You are a waste of my time; get lost. I got another Uke to work on.” He laughed in his face then turned his back on him. However, the next moment he whips back around.

“HENGE!”

As the cloud of smoke cleared, Naruto stood in Neji’s white long sleeve shirt and loose fitting pants. He began to undress the blue eyes staring lustfully at the Uchiha.

“WTF, do you think you…”

“Shut up baka.” Naruto’s voice said. “Why don’t you use me like you want; this time I won’t cry and run to tell.” He dropped his pants sexy tan skin, shining with the sweat of the fight. He got on his knees, turning his back toward Sasuke. “I could cry if you want, or be as quiet as a mouse.” He glance over his shoulder at the ink black eyes the face pale the mouth hanging open at the sight of him.

‘I should kill him.’ Sasuke pull the waste of his pants dropping them to the floor; his erection pounding as he slowly strokes it. ‘He looks just like Naruto but, I know its Neji.’ He shudders as Naruto pulled off the forehead protector, shaking his hair, stringy with sweat. Sasuke steps forward the hair reminding him of the shower now only three feet between the two. “What do you want from me? You are not him.”

The head drops toward the floor, Naruto’s voice “Please, Sasuke….” He takes a deep shuddering breath. “I was so worried you would not come back to me.” He raises himself up on all fours. “Please. I need you.” He pleads, keeping his face pointed at the floor, Neji feeling his own excitement rise as Sasuke edges slowly closer. “F*** me Sasukkkeeee!” his words cut short.

Sasuke grabs the narrow hips in tight powerful grip; quickly lining up his cock at the pink entrance. Without a pause, he pushes all the way in; anger filling his chest as Neji’s scheme drives him to crave the puckering ass. Sasuke snatches a fist full of blonde hair, ‘Bastard, I’m going to make sure this really hurts!’ Pulling the hair and head, back hard, makes Neji’s back arch, as the other hand squeezes his hips as tightly as possible. Sasuke humps in faster and harder with each thrust trying to deliver as much pain as possible with his rod. Neji grunts and then whines; he could feel some of his hair rip out by the root. However, the more pain Sasuke delivers the greater the euphoria Neji felt. So much that when Sasuke releases the hair to grab both hips painfully tight; ramming into the clenching hole; Neji felt his climax growing the first he has ever experienced without permission.

“I am coming!” Naruto yells.

“No not yet!” Sasuke snaps, leaning forward and pounding harder into the blonde ninja his climax moments away.

“Sassssukeeee! I’m coming!” Naruto screams.

It washes over the dark hair and eyes like a spring shower; Sasuke’s mind looses track of the fact that he is with Neji. The firm ass contracts and tightens around his length. The ravens’ hand reflectively gropes the spurting erection under Naruto feeling the warm fluids saturate his finger. His eyes shut tight at his ejaculation wrenches through him pulling the tan hips back as Naruto’s voice echoes in his ears. He falls forward leaning heavily on the blonde ninja. The powerful climax makes Sasuke feel he cannot move. The blonde ninja remains on all fours, holding them both up; gasping for breath, at the sensation of the powerful explosion.

Sasuke lifted the blonde hair still resting on his back; taking deep breaths. The blue eyes glanced back at him exhausted and cunning. “How was that?” He mused, in a puff; Neji remained where Naruto was a moment ago.

He withdrew quickly, sitting up he stares with more hatred at the white eyes; the person smiles at him contemptuously. “Don’t be angry Sasuke-kun; we both had fun this time right?” He sat back on his hunches, still trying to steady his breathing his dark hair falling beautifully around his shoulders.

“Get out of my sight!” Sasuke stood and walked away from him. A few moments later Neji still smirking on the floor can hear the shower. After dressing, he left satiated for now; considering how to kill Naruto and make it look as if someone else is to blame.

Kakashi relaxed once Neji left Sasuke’s house; the sex spar between his student and his pretend lover had him unnerved. He believed Sasuke liked girls; although from his vantage point he could not see what the boys did in the living room; the sounds more than gave a great visual of the encounter. ‘I wonder how many books Jiraiya would give me for the smexy details on this.’ He snickered inwardly thinking a good dose of Iruka would cure the major boner he developed. Then he remembered his lover might not want him tonight; he stepped out of his hiding place. Sasuke still in the shower; ‘It is clear Sasuke more than likely took advantage of Naruto. I had that kid all wrong; I doubt Naruto was a willing partner; otherwise he would not have reacted so strongly during that fight they had at the restaurant.’

Glancing at the bathroom, narrowing his eyes; ‘I’ll keep a closer eye on him for now on; and keep my knowledge about this to myself. Sooner or later he is going to mess up and I’ll be there to deliver swift and angry justice.’ He left the way he came in being sure to leave nothing out of place; he knew he owed Iruka a big apology.
