A bond thicker than blood

and we are back for another update.

thank you to all who reads and votes, really appreciate it.

LadyRonin: haha, well we cant have everything. was meaning to go to the anime convention they had back home in norway but i since my exams were around that time i coulndt just fly home for the weekend. well when it comes to Itachi he isnt in this chapter as much as i though he would be, but he will be around for chapter 24. He does not know about Naruto and Sasuke yet but he will when he makes his physical appearance in chapter 24, i think that will be a chapter with some confrontations, not sure how it will go yet. the reasons for why they moved will be revealed in chapter 24 or chapter 25 i think, Canada? i think they only moved some where in Japan just at the outskirt of Tokyo. but one thing i can say for sure is that they didnt move because of Sasukes feelings for Naruto, ther is more behind it than that. I am glad you liked the idea, yeah i didnt think it would be fair to make it that easy, trying to keep the emotions close to real human emotions. unfortunately certain things is harder to forget, if not impossible.

i'll mention it again if there is anyone wanting to have an email sent to them about when i update just leave me you email address and i'll email you when ever i update.

well here it is chapter 22

Chapter 22

After that day Naruto retreated and pushed Sasuke away again, and they never got back on to the topic. Sasuke turned to his side hoping he would be able to sleep but his mind was already working overtime so sleep was not easy to come by.

“Damn it” the dark haired boy tossed the pillow against the wall as he sat up, he knew he needed to jibe Naruto sometime but it was frustrating being the only one not knowing and as a result not be able to do anything when it mattered the most. Well Sasuke was not really a saint either, he too kept secrets.

He got out of bed and headed for the kitchen, this would be the last time he would come to this empty house, Sasuke’s parents had both died in a “car accident.” A car accident set by his brother 3 years ago so he could inherit their money to pay of his debt to the Sumiyoshi-kai Yakuza group, then Orochimaru had offered him a job which he had only to happily accepted. Sasuke slammed his fist against the table; he could feel the anger over flowing inside him, there was not a person on this planet he detested more than his brother.

Sasuke calmed himself, knowing it would not do any good getting angry, not now. He grabbed the bottle of water that was in the fridge and took it with him to the living room and sat down at the windowsill of one of the French windows. He watched the full moon and let his mind wander to the blond boy waiting for him on the other side of town.

When the blond boy smiled for real his whole face would light up, making Sasuke feel at ease. He smiled at the thought of a laughing Naruto, his eyes were like sapphires shining brightly when ever the light reflected in them. His lips were the softest Sasuke had ever kissed, not that he had kissed many people in his life time; he could never forget how good it felt kissing Narutos lips. Sasuke touched his lips with his fingertips; he could still taste the blond boy.
He closed his eyes and imagined Naruto lying Naked on the bed, even though he had not yet had the opportunity to take off Narutos cloths he could still remember his well proportioned body from when they were young and created an image of a beautiful body suited for the blond boy. Just the thought of the blond boy naked or even with cloths in a seductive position would get him hard, he moved his hand from his lips and let it slide down his chest before it reached his bulge. Gently he let his fingers slide over his hard-on, shivering to the touch as pleasure was released through his body.
Sasuke thought how wonderful it would feel like to touch Narutos naked body, kiss his nipples. Suck on them and gently biting in them to make them hard, how wonderful his moan would sound as Sasuke gave him pleasure that only he could give.

“Naruto” he whispered out into the open room as his hand slid underneath the pants and boxers and his hand grabbed gently around his hard shaft.

Images of the blond’s hard erection saluting him as he moved closer, letting his tongue just barely touching the head and making Naruto moan out in annoyance for not getting more than a slight touch. Sasuke remembered all the times he had done that to the blond boy and how he would receive a “stop fucking around and suck me” look, the taste of Naruto came back to his mouth as the memory of his mouth wrapping itself over the blonds hard erection with pre cum running down it. Sasuke moved his hand up and down his erection, moving in the same rhythm as the image in his head.

“Fuck ….” He was getting close as his hand movement had picked up speed, all he wanted now was to fuck the blond one senseless, he wanted to hear the blond boy scream his name as he always did, the image of the blond’s face right before he came popped in to his mind as he felt close to the end. That face turned Sasuke on more than anything, knowing it was his doing and only he could make the blond react that way.

“AHH …. Naruto” he let out a moan as he felt hot fluid fill his hand and making the boxers wet.

Sasuke breathed heavily and he opened his eyes again towards the moon, smiling, if the blond knew what he had just done he would be shocked. He had said once before that Sasuke did not seem the person to jerk off; Sasuke had only laughed at that comment and asked if the blond boy had ever jerked off when he was alone. Naruto had only said he did not think he was physically capable of doing anything sexual to himself, Sasuke did not get to hear the end of that sentence as he’d cut it off by saying never mind.

Around the same time in the antique shop Naruto was sitting reading some of the notes Momochi had given him.

“AAAHHH” Naruto let his head fall on to the table making a thud noise as it hit the surface “It’s too much information at one time” He had been reading pieces of paper all day. Momochi had thought it was a good opportunity to learn some more names and go on a few rounds while Sasuke was back home for part of the summer vacation, but Naruto was struggling to remember the names as his head was filled with a list of pro and cons for telling Sasuke about his ties with the Yakuza when he got back from his home.

“I though you went to university” Momochi looked at him from his desk as he was filling in some papers, Naruto gave Momochi a glare who could do nothing more than laugh. “Don’t worry it’ll be the last thing you read today.” Momochi resumed his work and only caught a few glimpses of a very concentrated Naruto as he was trying to learn the last 40 names on the list.

“ehm … Momochi could I have a word with you?” Haku stood in the doorway looking directly at Momochi with his dark eyes, Momochi recognised the look Haku was giving him and he did not like it one bit. Every time Haku’s dark eyes were fixed on him with a stone gaze he knew something bad was coming their way.

“sure” he got out of his chair and headed for the door, “remember to keep at it, I’ll ask you 20 names when I get back to see if you’ve done your homework” Momochi gave Naruto a fake smile, a smile even Naruto had learned was not a good sign but luckily for Momochi the blond boy didn’t look up from the papers he was holding, he only nodded as a response before his full concentration was focused back onto the papers.

“what is it?” he ask the dark haired boy as soon as he’d closed the door behind him, Haku grabbed the man by his hand and dragged him towards the front of the shop. Momochi was not sure what was going on but he obediently followed the younger boy.

Outside the shop stood a short red haired boy with a sword in one hand, the same sword Naruto’s father had only given to his most skilful killers or assassins. He knew because both he and Haku had received one each, Haku had gotten his the same time Naruto received the official sword of the group as the heir to the godfather.
He remembered the ceremony well as it was at that time Yondaime had presented Naruto with a choice of succeeding him or not, of course Naruto had been to young to fully know the weight of the choice but he had answered his father in a very mature way, stating that he would let faith decide weather or not he would be suitable for that place. Of course that was the year before Orochimaru made his move on Naruto and 2 years before his family was killed, the harsh world of a Yakuza had made a permanent mark on the boy who only so desperately wanted to escape and live a normal life like any other kid.

The red haired boy bowed as they both came out the door, Momochi nodded back as he was a higher rank than him.

“What’s going on Haku” the man looked at the boy who looked as he was about to explode from concern.

“There is a price on Naruto’s head” the black haired boy said not looking at Momochi, the man’s heart almost stopped when he heard those words. First he couldn’t really believe what the dark haired boy had just said, but he knew he could not be lying either, Haku had only given him such an intense look twice before and that was when he’d found out Naruto’s secret and the day Yondamine and his wife and oldest son had been killed.

The red haired boy decided to speak. “Momochi-san, Haku-san I guess you want to know the reason why.” He paused to see any sign of response in their faces but none of them moved a muscle, only an intense gaze from both of them was directed at him.

“As I am sure you both are well aware of, is that Orochimaru is bringing in drugs in to the trade. And of course it’s creating a lot of problems as more and more guys within the group are getting addicted, you are also probably well aware of how much influence Uzumaki-same holds now that he has entered the group.”
He took a deep breath before he continued “well long story short, he now holds more power within the group even if he isn’t aware of it than Orochimaru. He has now two dilemmas on his hands; one: he is losing power to a boy 20 years younger than him. Two: he knows the group would fall apart if he were to lose Uzumaki-sama’s support. So either way he is screwed, wither or not he has realised it yet I dunno. But ‘Leader’ of Matsuba-kai group has figured out the value of Uzumaki-sama, if he gets rid of him he has more chance of getting our territory without any fuss. Hence why he’s put a price on Uzumaki-sama’s head, but I guess it would be a full scale war between the groups if that happens.”

Momochi could hardly focus on what the red haired boy was saying, although he had always knew that Orochimaru, if left to as the godfather of the group for long, would be the groups downfall. But the question right now was how to protect Naruto without him having to realize that there was a price on his head.

Suddenly the red haired boy went down on one knee letting his left arm rest on the sword, “please let me be the one protecting Uzumaki-sama”

“Gaara …” Haku said a little shocked of his offer to protect Naruto, a boy he had met once.

“Do you swear that without any hesitation you would give your life for Naruto should it be necessary?” Momochi asked pulling out his sword which almost always was hanging on his left side, pointing it towards Gaara. Haku was shocked by Momochi’s actions, would he really allow this boy to protect the person closest thing he had to a son.

Gaara lifted his head and moved closer to the tip of the sharp sword, showing he was not afraid of death. “I swear”

Both Momochi and Gaara stared each other in the eye, after about 5 minutes of silence Momochi put his sword back and left without a word. Haku followed the man with his eyes, unable to believe he had entrusted Gaara with Naruto’s life, a task he was sure Momochi would rather handled alone.

Haku turned to follow Momochi when he decided to ask Gaara, who had just gotten back on to his feet. “Why?”

Not really surprised by the question, he knew how hard it was to gain the trust of the famous duo. “The eyes that met me that day in the orphanage, they were gone.”
“Orphanage?” Haku whispered to himself not sure what Gaara was talking about, before the memory of the orphanage Yondaime was the private doctor of came to his head.

“One day Uzumaki-sama came in and sat next to me in the corner of the room, he smiled at me with such an innocent smile asking if I would like to play. I remembered how he would always come to me every time he came with his father to the orphanage, to play even if it was just sitting around.” The red haired boy paused a little before continuing, Haku was surprised how much Gaara actually remembered from that time.

“The last day he came to the orphanage was a week before his 13th birthday” the date hit Haku like a brick “he said to me that if I ever needed parents he would gladly share his with me, the sparkle in his eyes when he said that was something I had never seen before.” He paused again.

“When I met him at the beginning of the first semester …. The spark was gone … he gave me hope and is partly part of the reason why I took this profession. I would gladly give my life just to have him smile with that same spark again.”

Haku listened as the footsteps of the red haired boy disappeared in the darkness before following his lover inside.

“You knew, that’s why you gave him the job”

Momochi nodded, looking at his lover who came closer. They both knew there would be difficult times a head.


hope you enjoyed, the next chapter will be up soon.
