Royalty and Demons

Naruto watched Sasuke with a rising interest. He reached behind him and jerked on his chain, making it rattle. Immediately, Sasuke would turn from whatever task he was doing and make sure Naruto was still securely chained to the wall. It was an amusing game. And each time, Sasuke’s glare got darker.

Sasuke’s eyes raked up and down the chain connecting his collar to the wall and then he turned back to the guard he was fighting with. “What do you mean you’re under strict orders not to do anything related with the demon?”

“Sir Kakashi said that he was solely your duty.”

Sasuke growled, “Are you saying that my orders…royal orders…are second to that of a knight’s?”

“King Itachi has agreed with him.”

“So I will have no assistance in bathing him?”

The knight bowed, “My apologies.”

“At least prepare the water and have clothes ready.” Sasuke waved him away and slammed the door behind him.

Naruto gave him a mischievous grin when the angry eyes landed on him again. “Is it daytime?”

“No.”

“Can we go outside?”

“No.”

Naruto crossed his legs in front of him and pouted, “I want to go outside.”

“I don’t care.”

Naruto bared his teeth, the first aggressive gesture he had made all night, “If we don’t go outside, I won’t let you sleep.”

Sasuke squeezed the arch between his eyes, “You don’t let me sleep anyway.”

“I’ve never been near you when you’re asleep. Let’s go out.”

Sasuke sighed. “Okay, here’s the deal. If you behave and…let me…” Sasuke gritted out the words, “Clean you, I’ll take you out tomorrow, when the sun is up.”

Naruto raised an eyebrow, “You think I won’t behave?”

“Listen, Demon…”

“Naruto.” Naruto growled.

“Fine. Naruto, do we have an agreement?”

Naruto shrugged. He had no intentions of acting out. He didn’t want to be thrown back in that cell. And he didn’t have a good enough grasp on life outside yet to run away and be on his own.

Sasuke stepped over and unlocked the chain from the wall. He grabbed Naruto’s chain and eyed him suspiciously. He hadn’t been attacked on the way up to the room, but that didn’t mean he didn’t expect it to happen.

Naruto stood up and stretched, very well aware of how tense Sasuke was around him. He enjoyed it.

Sasuke tugged on the chain, “Let’s go.”

Naruto followed Sasuke outside of the room and into the bathroom. Sasuke paused and frowned. He looked towards the guard and dropped Naruto’s chain in favor of venting his frustration on the guard.

Naruto ignored him and stepped over to the foamy tub. He grabbed a hand full of suds and clinched his fist and was surprised when the stuff almost disappeared. He dug his hand in deeper and felt the hot water underneath the layer of soap. “Am I supposed to drink this?”

Sasuke looked over and the guard took the opportunity to escape. Sasuke snarled at the retreating man’s back and then stepped over to Naruto.

“No, you don’t drink it. It’s a bath. You sit in it.”

Naruto made a face.

“Just get in and get clean.”

Naruto shrugged and had one leg inside the tub before Sasuke stopped him. “Take off your clothes first.”

“No.”

Sasuke’s eyebrow twitched. He had never been told ‘no’ as much as today. “Why not?” He tried to ask calmly.

“Kakashi says clothes are what separate humans and animals. I’m not an animal.” Naruto crossed his arms defiantly.

“There are more clothes for you over there, but you have to take those off and be cleaned first.”

“Why?”

“Just take your clothes off!”

“Kakashi says when someone says that they want something dirty from me.”

“I don’t want anything dirty from you. I just want you clean. Everyone does this when they take a bath.”

“Everyone?”

“Yes.”

“Then you’ll take off your clothes too.”

“But I’m not getting in the bath.” Sasuke could tell though by the look in the demon boy’s eyes, that he had made up his mind and it was going to be impossible to get him to change it. “Naruto, just take off your clothes and get in the water. That’s an order, now do it.”

“No. You first.”

Sasuke gritted his teeth. He suddenly wondered exactly what was worse, his wife of his demon. Both were bound and determined to get him naked. But he couldn’t handle something as dirty as this boy to stay in his room.

“Fine.” Sasuke pulled down his pants, quickly folded them, and set them down in a chair.

Naruto looked at him, “The rest of it.”

Sasuke put his hand over his scarred shoulder and sighed. He pulled off his shirt and put it on top of his pants.

“It didn’t heal very well.”

Sasuke tensed. “Quit looking at me and get your damn clothes off.”

Naruto quickly looked away and tried to take his clothes off as gracefully as Sasuke, but instead the clothes seemed to tear into pieces the second he tried to remove them. He let them fall to the ground, and pouted at the loss of his clothes.

Sasuke paled when he turned and saw Naruto. He had seen the boy nude in his dreams several times, but he had never thought that it would be so much more intense in real life. His eyes looked Naruto over several times, and still couldn’t pull his eyes away. Even covered in years worth of dirt he was still enticing. His eyes fell to Naruto’s penis. Even flaccid it was something to behold. It made him shiver involuntarily.

Naruto grew increasingly irritated at Sasuke’s gawking. Granted, he had quickly examined Sasuke’s body, taking in every scar and knick in his pale skin, but otherwise he hadn’t found anything to hold his attention as much as his body seemed to hold Sasuke’s.

“How long must we do this?”

Sasuke jerked his head and freed his eyes from Naruto’s body, “Uh…get in the water now.”

Naruto quickly crawled into the tub. He had grown quite uncomfortable under Sasuke’s stare and was eager to get away from it.

Sasuke shook his head and stepped over to the tub. He sat down on the stool beside the tub. Even though Naruto had commented on his deformed shoulder, he felt strangely comfortable being naked around him. He grabbed the scrub brush and soap that were sitting beside the stool. He dropped the brush though when he heard Naruto moan. It was identical to his dreams. He looked over and even the blonde head was now submerged under the water.

“Naruto?” He reached in, felt soft locks of hair, and jerked up.

Naruto came up coughing.

“What were you doing?”

“It feels good.”

“Sit up and don’t do that again. You’ll drown.”

Naruto scowled, “You take the fun out of everything.”

Sasuke handed Naruto the soap and scrub brush, “Lather up the brush and then scrub your arms.”

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

Sasuke waited impatiently as he watched Naruto struggle with the clothes he had given him.

“Naruto…only one leg goes through each hole.”

Naruto snarled and threw the pants across the room, barely missing Sasuke’s head.

“These are stupid.”

Sasuke chuckled, “How did you get your old clothes on? I know no one could help you. There were bricks in front of your door. Speaking of which, how did they feed you? How did Kakashi know you were there? Why do you know English?”

“I just figured it out. There was a hole about fifteen feet up the wall that they used to lower food on. Kakashi fought my demon. Kyuubi taught me to speak.”

“Kyuubi?”

“My demon.”

“He talks to you?”

“He was the only one there.”

Sasuke picked up the pants and stepped over to Naruto. He sighed and got down on his knees. “You’re to tell no one you saw me like this. Now put your hands on my shoulders.”

Naruto scowled, “You want to touch again?”

“Just do it.”

Naruto put his hands on Sasuke’s shoulders.

“Now lift one leg up so I can put this pant leg on for you.”

Naruto followed Sasuke’s orders and was pleased when it resulted in a pair of black pants. After that Sasuke helped Naruto put his tunic on.

“I told you I would give you clothes.”

Naruto ran his hands over his outfit, “Now can we go outside?”

“Tomorrow.” Sasuke grabbed Naruto’s chain and lead him back to the bedroom.

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

Sasuke shivered when the tanned hand brushed down his naked chest. It paused to torture one of his nipples. Just like all his dreams, it felt incredibly real.

“Uun…” A small pink tongue darted out and massaged the small nub. But it didn’t stay gentle for long. The mouth bit down, and Sasuke’s eyes shot open, he saw Naruto straddling his lap. Only it wasn’t the normal blue eyes that he saw, but red ones, ones he recognized to belong to the demon. Before he had a chance to react though, the mouth left his body and he was quickly flipped over.

“Sasuke…” A rough voice vibrated through his ear and seemed to petrify him. He didn’t struggle as he felt ten nails rake down his back. He screamed as he felt the skin peel away from his back, but he still couldn’t move.

The hands disappeared from his back and he started to relax until he heard a resounding smack sound and a stinging sensation crawled down his backside. He jumped with the realization that he had just been spanked.

“Stop..” Sasuke closed his eyes. The dreams had never been painful before. It had never been the demon before either.

The door slammed open and Kakashi stood at the doorway. He glared at the demon, “That’s low even for you.”

Kyuubi snickered and crawled off of the immobile boy.

Sasuke found that he could move again. He pushed himself up and winced at the pain in his back. He stepped over near Kakashi and then looked over at the smug looking demon.

And suddenly realization hit. “I’m not dreaming, am I?”

Kyuubi stood up and stretched, obviously very naked and very aroused. “You’ve gotten very good at sensing me, Kakashi.”

Sasuke was no where near pleased with the situation, but he noticed that obviously the demon had no problem removing clothes, he could only hope that he knew how to put them back on. He really didn’t look forward to playing dress up with Naruto again.

Kakashi examined Sasuke’s back. The scratches were only surface wounds. Obviously Kyuubi’s intentions were no more dangerous than wanting to hear Sasuke scream. Kakashi sighed in relief.

“I want no more of this, Kyuubi. If you come out any time that you’re not requested, I’ll have to put you back in that cell.”

Kyuubi huffed, “I was only having fun. I fell in love with that boy’s screams back when his brother tortured him. I’ve been waiting a while to hear them again.”

Sasuke gritted his teeth.

Kakashi gave Kyuubi a warning look, “And let him sleep every once in a while, too.”

“Fine.” Kyuubi grumbled. And just like that the red eyes and long nails faded away and Naruto fell to the ground in an unconscious pile.

Sasuke watched with sick silence, “What…just happened?”

“Kyuubi’s got a thing for you.” Kakashi stepped over and grabbed Naruto’s chain and examined it. “I’ll see if I can’t find something a little stronger.”
