The Sound of Dreams

AN: Greetings, my minions!! *Insert maniacal laugh here* Today, I bring you smut!!

Animehead: I agree, I totally love the new episodes! They surely made Sasuke look pretty, didn't they? Enjoy the "ugly ass purple bow" while you can, 'cause its days are numbered in this fic!!

Adi: I always try to make sure I post my Sat post on Fri midnight just because I know you work early on Saturdays! See how much I love you?? *grin*

Ana LaPana83: More will be revealed about the ninjas in the village shortly! Thanks for picking out my errors! I hate knowing that I have things mispelled out there! Oh, and I made sure to tell everyone that you were evil in the last chapter for making me edit it twice!! muhahaha !

Allys: A hair queue is simply a ponytail low on the neck. Many times it is braided, but not necessarily. Naruto's isn't braided all the way, but Sasuke weaves the orange hair-tie into it partially (about an inch or two) before tying it off and letting the rest flow down loose.

Eevilprawn: Make sure you don't stab yourself while eating and reading! (I've done that *blush*) I'm glad that you are enjoying the story so much!!

May-N: I'm afraid that Orochimaru is, in fact, not down for the count. He will be rearing his ugly snake head some time in the future (not gonna say when!) and will make a general nuisance out of himself. As for everyone else in Konoha, they will be showing up at a later date as well!

Thanks to everyone else who reviewed!! I enjoy all comments no matter how large or small (*has urge to cackle again for some reason*)! Hope you all continue to enjoy reading this creation spawned from my murky mind!


Chapter 32


"What do you mean that someone knows you're a ninja?" Sasuke demanded, fearing the worse.

"I mean that I had to use some ninja skills to save a little girl from getting trampled," Naruto explained and waited for the explosion.

"Do they know which direction you left in?" he asked, mind already working on the possible repercussions.

"No, I poofed out of there. No one saw me enter the woods." Naruto was fairly sure he made it away without being seen.

Sasuke sighed. "You just need to be more careful from now on and use a different disguise. Give it a while to calm down. We have enough here to last us for a little bit if we have to."

Naruto blinked, unsure if it was really Sasuke that he was talking to. There was no derisive comments, no insults about his ninja skills and no contempt toward his rescue of the girl.

Frowning, the blonde placed a rough tanned hand on his friend's forehead. The bastard apparently didn't have a fever. He met the puzzled onyx eyes and shrugged. "I was just wondering why you weren't mad."

"Well, I'm not happy, that's for certain," he grumbled. He looked away. "You did what you had to do."

"Who are you and where's my bastard?" came the immediate query.

"Shut up, moron," he growled.

"Ahh, there you are. Where were you? Kinda missed you," Naruto teased. He quickly dodged the cuff aimed at his head.

"We should at least scout around the perimeter. Make sure no one followed you." The pale-skinned ninja left the room without waiting for an answer and headed to their shared bedroom.

A few moments later he came back out with the dark shirt underneath his gi as well as his black coat. He reached over and picked Naruto's up from where he had discarded it on the back of a kitchen chair and tossed it to the dobe.

"Let's go."

As they stepped out into the cloudy afternoon, Sasuke couldn't help but scowl at the dark sky. He hated being cold and he hated winter. Luckily it wouldn't last too much longer. Spring wasn't too far off.

Without a word the two young men took to the trees. They slowly made their way out in ever-widening circles, scouting for any trace of enemy ninja. In their case, that meant any ninja not themselves.

Sasuke had to admit that it felt good to be out and moving again. His limbs stretched out, flowing smoothly from branch to branch. Wind rushed through his blue-black hair, blowing away the gloom he hadn't realized had settled into him by staying beneath the ground constantly for the last several weeks. Even when he had been with Orochimaru, they had moved often enough that he hadn't stagnated.

He looked over at his blonde companion and couldn't help but feel a surge of possessiveness. It had been after Naruto had thrown himself into the blast to save him that it had finally dawned on him that his friend felt deeply for him and had so for some time. Moreover, he realized that he himself felt something stronger than care for the dobe. He didn't want to put a name to it yet. He didn't want to label it until he could give himself to it fully. He couldn't do that until Itachi was dead and only a painful memory.

Frankly, it scared the hell out of him. He would rather face Itachi a dozen times than deal with his own emotions regarding his black and orange clad shinobi. He then acknowledged the fact that he had been running from the other young man for a long time now. He had been so afraid that Naruto would keep him from his goal or that the boy would somehow change his goals from what they should be.

He knew that Naruto wouldn't try to stop him now with the promise to help him avenge his clan. He just had to keep his goals firmly in mind and not allow the other's light to pull him away from his dark vow to his kinsmen. If he could do that, then there was no reason to keep running.

Suddenly feeling lighter than he had in a long time, Sasuke looked over at his friend, his lover, and gave him a small but sincere smile. The smile widened slightly at the stunned expression on the whiskered face and, with a soft laugh, he reached out and brushed his hand against the other's.

"Tag. You're it." With that pronouncement, he poured on more speed, leaving the still gaping ninja behind.

Naruto blinked, watching the other boy slip away. He had heard about a movie like this once. Where aliens came in and kidnapped people and replaced them with pod-grown people. He had been gone for several hours this morning. Maybe the Sasuke-snatchers had come in and replaced the dark shinobi with this.. this... semi-normal one.

"Move your ass, dobe! Or have you realized that you will never be up to par with me?" a deep voice called back to him jeeringly.

Okay, scratch the alien abduction theory. Maybe the other had found a whole bottle of chewable fruity vitamins and had eaten them all? Either way it didn't matter. All that mattered at the moment is that his rival had just challenged him!

"You wish, teme! I'll catch your slow ass, just watch me!"

The two boys almost felt twelve years old again as they flew through the trees, trading insults and challenges back and forth. While Sasuke was sure that Naruto had forgotten their original purpose in coming outside, he himself kept an eye out for anything that seemed out of place. He had to admit though, it was nice to set aside their concerns and play a little.

He glanced back to make sure he was still being followed. Sure enough, Naruto was red faced and griping as he tried to catch up to Sasuke's lead. He snickered to himself. It was fun to bait the other young man.

"Caught you," a voice said in front of him.

He whipped his head around just in time to make out mischievously smiling blue eyes before he slammed into the muscular, tan body. Arms wrapped around him as they fell toward the forest floor below. He was about to teleport them to a safer location when he felt Naruto's chakra flare out.

A surge of power poured out of the blonde and spiraled downward. Sasuke's eyes widened slightly as a cushion of air slowed their rapid descent. Wind whirled around them, billowing their clothes and whipping their hair into total disarray. While they weren't going slow and easy, by the time they reached the ground they weren't at a speed that could injure them. They hit the ground jarringly, but upright all the same.

Blue eyes smiled at him smugly.

"Dobe, if someone had been around, they couldn't have missed that," he said with a shake of his head.

"Bah, it was fun and you know it. Besides, I didn't see any signs of anyone while we were running around." Not that he had looked that hard, but his bastard of a friend didn't need to know that.

"Baka," he said as a final retort. "You're hair is all messed up."

"Heh, can't be as bad as yours. The chicken has had its feathers shook up," he teased with a grin.

Sasuke stepped within his personal space. "Shut up, idiot, and put those lips to a better use."

Naruto's eyes swiftly darkened to an indigo color and his grin transformed into a slightly lecherous smirk. "And just what do you want me to use my lips for?" he asked teasingly.

"Kissing me is a good start," he answered in his low, velvety tone.

Not needing to be told twice, Naruto immediately dove in and claimed those normally grim lips with his own.

Sasuke moaned as Naruto's mouth slid provocatively over his own. He loved the taste and feel of the other young man. He loved the way that even this left him breathless and yearning for more. He reached up and tangled his fingers into sunshine locks. Taking the initiative, he deepened the kiss while moving his other hand around the small of Naruto's back.

Naruto emitted a low rumbling sound that vibrated in his chest. He slid his hands down to pale slender hips to firmly knead the muscle there.

Sasuke picked up the tempo of the kiss, thrusting his tongue aggressively into the hot cavern of the other's mouth. His mind was starting to haze over as the pleasure rushed through his body, awakening every nerve. The only thing that he knew for certain was that he wanted to experience that sensual high that only Naruto could give.

Naruto's hands stroked downward until he had a tight globe of flesh in each palm. Giving a low growl, he pulled the other ninja snuggly into his own body, telling him without words how aroused he was.

He pulled his mouth away from sinfully alluring lips to kiss and lick his way to the pale shell of an ear. "Don't you have payment to collect?" he murmured before tracing his tongue over delicate cartilage.

Sasuke shivered in response, both to the question as well as the action. "Payment?" he asked fuzzily.

Teeth had moved to his earlobe and were tugging playfully. "Mm-hmm." A sudden teasingly smug smile appeared. "Oh, that's right! I won, didn't I? I guess I'll just have to collect my payment."

A tongue started lathing across Sasuke's throat bringing a mewl from his lips. Naruto tsk'ed at the other teen. "Sasuke, it's going to be hard for me to seriously believe you're gonna fuck me 'til I beg if you keep making noises like that."

"Then stop tormenting me, idiot," he half growled, half moaned.

"But it's so much fun!" he replied with a certain amount of masculine arrogance.

Sasuke practically let out a snarl as he tightened his hand in the silky hair as he simultaneously reached up and yanked Naruto's collar aside. Without preamble, he sank his teeth into the one spot that could short circuit whatever the blonde was thinking.

"Fuck, Sasuke!" he gasped in some surprise and greater pleasure.

"Other way around, usuratonkachi," he corrected in a thick voice.

He grabbed the dazed blonde's hand and hurried back to the base. Once there, they stumbled through the halls, barely able to keep their hands off each other. After almost setting off several traps in their haste and carelessness, they finally arrived at their inner sanctum.

Almost falling through the bedroom door, Sasuke quickly turned and pushed Naruto into the nearest wall.

His lips quickly resumed their assault on the tanned neck. He felt a hand wind into his dark hair and had to swallow a moan of pleasure. He moved his head away and gave his lover a warning look. If he wanted Sasuke to be dominant then he couldn't do things that made him a pile of mindless goo like that did.

The heat between them was almost stifling. Sweat dampened his hairline and trickled down his back, reminding him abruptly that they were still wearing their coats. He stepped back and pulled his off, watching the light come on in Naruto's eyes as he did the same.

"Heh, almost forgot," the blonde said with a grin.

"Other things on our mind," Sasuke allowed. He reached out and trailed his fingers over the flushed whisker marks, then slid them around behind the slightly sticky neck. He pulled the younger man closer for a deep kiss, wanting desperately to become a part of the sunshine that radiated eternally from the other. He wanted to get lost in that light and never find his way to the darkness again.

Naruto dropped his hands to Sasuke's waist and slid them under his shirt. The pale skin was hot to the touch and felt smooth under his fingers. He moaned into the kiss as his palms traced supple muscles and moved over the gracefully arched spine. He reached up and almost jerked the loose white shirt down, trapping Sasuke's arms against his sides.

"Dobe," he moaned as the blonde's lips trailed down his jaw and towards his neck.

"Use my damn name, bastard." He placed a few wet kissed along smooth skin as a head was tilted to give him better access.

"Idiot it is then," he teased breathlessly.

"Teme," Naruto growled before nipping the sensitive skin behind the ear.

Sasuke bit back a groan and struggled slightly to get out of his shirt. Naruto took the hint and finished peeling it off of him before tossing it on the floor. He then reached down and pulled off the sleeveless black undershirt as well. He had to admit that the raven-haired man in just the black armguards was a very sexy sight. Sasuke went to pull them off but Naruto stopped him.

"Leave them on," he urged as he traced his fingers over steel, leather and cloth.

"Hentai," Sasuke teased huskily before meeting his lips in a brief but searing kiss.

"Be glad I don't get you a pair of ninja-mesh stockings to wear to bed," Naruto advised with a perverse grin at the mental picture.

"Only if you want to get strangled with them in the middle of the night," he growled.

"Just think. You'd be sexy and armed at the same time," he quipped.

"Shut up and get naked, dobe."

Naruto hastily stripped out of his shirt and absently threw it to the side. He then brought his hands up and traced the pale shimmer of almost indiscernible scars against alabaster skin. He felt a cool touch of fingers on his own chest as Sasuke took the opportunity to explore. His milky skin made an interesting contrast to Naruto's own tanned flesh. That chill sensation against his dusky nipple made his breath catch before releasing in a heavy sigh. Dark eyes, almost obsidian with desire, met his before Sasuke slowly lowered his head to that same nipple. His tongue hesitantly darted out and swiped a wet trail across it and it beaded up in the cool air, tempting him to do more. Giving in, the dark-haired male began to suckle and nip, pulling soft appreciative moans from the blonde's throat.

Sasuke moved slowly downward, allowing himself to lower to his knees in front of the provocative body before him. His lips traced the defined abdominal muscles on his way down, licking and gently dragging his teeth over each one. His fingers went to the knotted black sash encircling the fiery orange pants and began deftly untying it. The small glass beads tinkled softly against each other.

"Not the best for sneaking up on anyone, dobe," he breathed against the other's stomach.

"When have you ever seen me sneak up on someone?" came the breathless response.

"Good point."

Once done, he unbuttoned and unzipped the silky orange material and pushed it low enough on the hips that it slithered the rest of the down on its own. The black bikini briefs did a poor job of covering the erect member trying to escape the constricting fabric. He glanced up into indigo blue eyes that were watching him intensely, waiting for his next move. He lifted himself up slightly so that he could run his tongue around the ink-darkened navel.

A hand threaded through the hair at the nape of his neck and then gripped it tightly. He melted into the sensation a moment before glaring up at the blonde.

"Sorry," Naruto whispered. "I just love to see that look on your face."

Not wanting to think about what faces he made, Sasuke gently, albeit reluctantly, removed the hand from his head and placed a kiss inside of the wrist before letting it go. He then reached down and quickly removed both shoes and pants from the entrancing body before him.

Tentatively, he lifted a hand and traced the black clad bulge between Naruto's toned thighs. His eyes snapped up as the blonde gasped to meet the half lidded blue gaze. Hips gently nudged against his hand, silently encouraging him.

Returning his attention lower, he allowed his hand to smooth over the black cloth. The pads of his fingers took in the hardness of the stiffened flesh, the slight dampness at the tip and the coarse texture of the few strands of blonde that escaped their confinement. Those fingers then hooked into the heated material and pulled, being careful not to catch the sensitive member in the waistband.

He was only vaguely aware of Naruto kicking the briefs off from around his ankles where Sasuke's numb fingers had let them fall. His breath stopped for a split second in time before resuming at an accelerated pace. He lifted a slightly trembling hand to wrap tightly around the base, eliciting a tortured, but pleased groan from above.

Repressing his misgivings and surrendering to his desire, he leaned forward and gingerly enveloped Naruto's straining erection.

Naruto's knees tried to buckle as the hot silken mouth wrapped around his cock. He desperately looked around for something to hang onto but found nothing. He was too far from the door handle, the dresser was across the room and the damn rock wall offered no purchase.

He locked his knees resolutely and prayed they stayed that way. He wasn't going to startle Sasuke by leaning on him and he sure as hell wasn't going to have him stop long enough to move.

Sasuke closed his eyes to savor the input from his other senses. He had a solid core of molten heat encased in his mouth but whether to describe it as surrounded by either silk, velvet or satin he hadn't decided. All he knew for sure is that the smooth glide of skin between his lips was arousing him to almost painful heights. The musky scent was intoxicating and he just wanted to bury his nose in it.

He suddenly gagged as he tried to do just that. Apparently he wasn't quite ready for that yet. He glanced up in embarrassment but Naruto's expression wasn't derisive or judgmental. His lips twitched around swollen flesh as he realized that Naruto wasn't in any kind of mental state to do anything but appreciate his efforts.

Naruto refused to look down any longer and just stared fixedly at the wall. The reason was very simple really. If he glanced down and saw those beguiling lips wrapped around his cock accompanied by the pale face flushed with erotic heat, he would cum. There was no doubt in his mind of this fact.

Already he could feel the tension coiling in his guts. The sensual push and pull of lips followed by the increasingly confident sucks were eroding away his control. He'd long since given up trying to stifle the sounds emanating from his throat. He already knew he was moaning like Jiraiya pumped full of Viagra and tied to a chair in a room full of beautiful, naked women.

It was all he could do not to thrust into the wet, sucking heat. His hand twitched with the desire to grab raven locks to get that delicious look of submission and then just fuck the hell out of his mouth. His breathing became harsher as he imagined the flooding of the other male's mouth with his seed.

His eyes opened before he could stop himself and felt the rush of desire spiral out of control at the look of desperate need on Sasuke's face.

"Sasuke!" he tried to warn. "I'm cumming!" The half dazed look told him that his lover would react too late.

The first spurt shot down Sasuke’s throat and he jerked his head back in surprise. The second and third struck across his face, leaving white trails. Stunning Naruto, he ignored the mess and immediately dove back onto the blonde to catch the last few trickles of his essence.

The sight of it was enough for Naruto's balls to clench and to try to spill more of himself down the man's throat. Naruto's cry became slightly strangled at the overload of sensation. His vision dimmed and he swayed on his feet, ready to collapse as pleasure hummed along his nerves.

As soon as Sasuke released him from his mouth, the demon vessel dropped unceremoniously to his knees, uncaring if he bruised them or not.

Sasuke smiled with a certain smug satisfaction at his work. He reached over for his shirt, ready to mop his face clean. The first taste had been unexpected and it had taken him a second to decide that it was tolerable and would be easy to acquire a liking for it. Especially with results like the one in front of him.

A hand on the back of his neck stopped him mid-way to lifting his black shirt to his face. The hand dragged him closer and a warm, moist tongue began bathing him. Sasuke felt a surge of lust race through his system as the blonde licked his own cum from his pale skin. The eroticism of it left Sasuke burning in a way no other person had ever made him feel. Afterwards, they shared a hard but chaste kiss and Naruto dropped his hand, once again relinquishing control.

Sasuke stood and quickly stripped the rest of the way. Blue eyes raked tiredly but appreciatively over his form.

"Don't tell me your famed stamina has abandoned you," he teased in a dark, seductive voice.

"Let me get my second wind, bastard. Then I'll show you stamina."

***************************
A pair of eyes blinked in the woods, unsure if they had seen what they thought they had. The two young men had been recognized easily enough, but they certainly hadn't expected them to have been kissing. This was certainly an interesting development. Powers higher up needed to know and judge what was to be done.

The ninja turned and vanished into the woods, moving silently and leaving no trace behind.
