The Sound of Dreams

AN: Hi there! Tuesday once again!! Here’s the next chapter! I hope you all enjoy!! Many thanks for the reviews! You guys are wonderful!!

Couple of quick questions answered:

1. Story length: I noticed a couple of ppl asking how long the story is going to last. I am not sure to take that as a compliment or not, lol. I believe it will end around 60(+) chapters.

2.Ally: No, I am not holding Shika captive. Sad for me. However, making plans for world domination has always been a hobby of mine. Once I finally get one that I think may work, I’ll be in touch!

3. Nathaniel: No, I don’t hold my story for ransom for reviews whether it is withholding smut, chapters or whatever. The only reason why I posted such is that, due to the plot, there will be very little time and opportunity for the boys to be sexing each other up for a little while. Don’t worry, there is no way my perverted mind could eliminate smut out of the rest of the story!

4. Shadow: Had Jiraiya been the one to come up with the Rasengan, I would totally agree with you. Of course what no one ever mentions is the fact that I bet you Yondaime was a perv, too. I mean look at his sensei and look at his student. There’s no way he wasn’t a perv!!

Last but not least, sorry if I teased anyone with my editing yesterday. I had to repost 10 chapters because someone pointed out that I had misspelled Sasame’s name. (Not Sesame, but Sasame. DOH!) I also I changed just a little (a few lines) of Sasame’s background story in chapter 37 because I went back and watched those few fillers again and realized that Sasame isn’t the one that off’ed Arashi. He saved her life and then remained in that section of the base when it caved in.

Anyway, on with the show!!


Chapter 40


As Naruto sank down within himself, he couldn’t help but hope that the Kyuubi was behaving itself at the moment. He would die of embarrassment if anyone else, especially Sasuke, discovered what was going on inside him.

He found himself standing in front of the cage and he could readily see Orochimaru lying naked on the damp stone floor. The water that always seemed to flood the prison was strangely absent within the confines of the Kyuubi’s cell. The demon itself wasn’t visible. More than likely it was resting in the back where it usually did.

The snake didn’t move and Naruto could only wonder if the man was asleep. There were bruises and claw marks littered across his lithely muscled body, giving evidence to Kyuubi’s rough handling.

He felt a presence join him within the room. He turned to see Sasuke with his Sharingan red eyes swirling, the only sign that gave evidence to his discomfort. There were blue glowing strings connecting to his temples and around his eyes that trailed off behind him.

The weathered face of the old man appeared as well and Naruto saw that the other ends of the threads were attached to the same areas on the old man.

Ren looked around him, taking in the large barred doors and the seal upon them. His eyes dropped down to where the pale-skinned Sannin rested upon the floor. Naruto held his breath, waiting for the condemnation. With Sasuke’s ability as his own, the old man would have to know that this wasn’t just an image, that it was truly the Sannin before him.

As if finally sensing that he was no longer alone, Orochimaru slowly raised his head up. His yellow eyes narrowed in both defiance and hatred as he gazed upon them. It grated against his pride to be seen in such a state and he could only promise himself that once he finally escaped this hell that he would destroy every person who had laid eyes upon him while he was imprisoned.

Naruto turned to Ren. “There’s your proof. He’s trapped behind the seal. He’s not getting out.”

As he was about to suggest they leave before his other unwanted guest made an appearance a low rumbling chuckle sounded, echoing off the dimly seen walls. Two large, impossibly wide spaced eyes opened to reveal the red fire burning within them. The face leaned down out of the shadows, hovering over Orochimaru’s now-tensed form.

‘Fuck,’ was Naruto’s first thought.

“Did you bring me more toys to play with?” it asked in amusement, its lips pulling back to reveal its extremely sharp teeth in a parody of a smile.

“They’re not here for you,” Naruto said with a scowl. “Keep your paws to yourself.”

It purred at him in a darkly taunting tone, “I thought you were bringing me more presents. Ones that I could play with like this one here.” It looked down at Orochimaru with some strange form of affection in its hellish eyes. A large, red furred paw pulled itself out of the darkness and drew one taloned claw very carefully and very lightly over the dark hair of its play toy.

Orochimaru shivered and turned his face away, looking back down at the stone floor beneath him.

The demon looked over at Naruto before trailing his eyes over to Sasuke. “I know you consider that one yours, but are you sure you don’t want to share?” it asked in a tone designed to rile up his container. “Surely, we could have a lot of fun.”

Naruto’s hands clenched into fists as he glared at the demon before him.

“Very well,” it said in false disappointment. “The other one’s too old for my taste anyway. Bring me something young and new to play with. Or at least young looking,” it added, gazing down at the Sannin.

Naruto watched as Orochimaru’s body stiffened further in humiliation and anger.

“Are we done here?” Sasuke asked shortly, trying to mask his uneasiness at being the apparent object of Kyuubi’s twisted fantasies with studied indifference.

Ren nodded affirmatively. “I believe we are.”

Sasuke vanished first and to Naruto’s surprise, the older man stayed a moment longer. He gave one last look around, especially studying the seal, before he disappeared as well.

Naruto gazed into the bars of the cell before him once more. Kyuubi’s hand was still stroking through Orochimaru’s hair. The demon had that look in its eyes again that said he was contemplating what to do with his favorite toy.

“At least wait until I get away from the others before you start flooding my body with your hormones,” the blonde half pleaded, half demanded. He shook his head. “You shouldn’t be doing this at all.”

Kyuubi lifted his gaze up to the boy. “I think it’s time you left. Don’t you have something that you should be attending to? And rather quickly, I might add?”

Naruto scowled at the creature, feeling powerless to stop the demon’s antics, and allowed himself to fade back into consciousness.


The elderly shinobi had apparently already disconnected himself from Sasuke and was looking over at Kat and Hanzaki. “I don’t think you have to worry about Orochimaru any time soon,” he announced calmly. “I think that he is sufficiently locked away and shouldn’t be an issue.”

Naruto waited with bated breath for the older man to spill the beans about the demon inside of him and about the fact that Orochimaru locked away in his body as well. He waited for the demands for his demise. He knew better than to hope that they would just try to lock him away until they could find a method to extract the Sannin. After all, he was nobody here. They wouldn’t care about trying not to hurt him.

But the older man said nothing as he stood and bowed to all of them. His eyes met Naruto’s for a moment before turning back to Hanzaki. “If you have no further need for my services, I have a garden to return to.”

With that, he turned and calmly walked out of the room, his age doing little to diminish the grace with which he moved.

Naruto looked back at Hanzaki and his assistant Kat and tried not to show his bewilderment. “Are you satisfied now? Do you believe us?” He forced himself not to react as he felt the first stirrings of lust within his body.

Hanzaki nodded once and Kat slowly followed his lead. “I think that about settles it,” the first man agreed.

Kat stood up, signaling an end to the meeting. "We will send men out to the Hidden Village to get repairs done. Afterwards, the two of you need to report to Hanzaki so that he can give you your instructions." He paused and looked them both over carefully. "If you betray us, your presence will be revealed to those you are running from as well as a price placed on your head and posted in every mud hole from shore to shore."

Naruto nodded, unperturbed while Sasuke merely raised an eyebrow to display his unconcern.

The two teens rose to their feet and headed out.

*****************
Kyuubi continued to run the back of a claw over the toy’s hair, enjoying the silky feel sliding against its own fur. The man lay quietly, unresponsive to the attention he was receiving. The demon quirked its lips in mild irritation. It wasn’t a pout. Demons didn't pout when they didn't get their way.

There was a red shimmer and shortly afterwards the large humanoid fox crouched beside the still, pale form on the floor. Nine black tipped red tails waved lazily through the air as crimson eyes studied the naked form with growing lust.

Placing a hand on either side of Orochimaru's prone form, the furred figure leaned over and ran a rough, wet tongue up the Sannin's spine. The pale body shivered in response and then tensed as it sunk in that the fox wanted to play.

Kyuubi took its time and made sure to thoroughly bathe every inch of ghostly skin on the snake's back. Then the textured tongue moved down and began its ministrations across the two pale globes of flesh below the waist.

Orochimaru shivered from the gentle touches, but he knew better than to relax. They wouldn't last long. They were always followed by pain. Pain and ecstasy and the humiliation of having no voice in what happened to his body. No control over what or when or why.

The demon maneuvered back behind him and nudged his thighs apart with a knee. Wickedly sharp taloned hands gripped his hips and lifted his ass into the air.

Now it would start. The raping, the pain and the unwanted pleasure.

Thumbs parted him further, revealing his entrance to devouring eyes. Since he was braced and ready for penetration, the tongue swiping over the sensitive skin caught him by surprise. His yellow eyes widened, but he held back any sound that the creature might take as encouragement. While nowhere near the length of his own tongue, the slightly roughened appendage was longer than a human's and lapped at his flesh teasingly.

The Sannin felt his body quiver without his consent as his folds were parted by wet flesh. Indeed he was penetrated, but not by a means that he would have guess at in a million years. The agile muscle slid into him, pushing its way past his tight ring and started to lick at his tightly constricted walls. A hand reached underneath him and expertly massaged his cock, quickly bringing him to arousal.

Orochimaru tried to bite back the moan, tried not to let himself feel the pleasure that the knowing hand and tongue brought to him. His rim was continually licked and nipped as his manhood was stroked with increasingly swifter caresses. Small sounds of desire escaped his lips as his breath began to pant out.

He could feel himself swell and his muscles tightened, ready to expel his ephemeral seed in a culminating moment of sensual turbulence. He could feel his will weaken. He could feel his determination slipping. It all snapped like an over wound watch spring and he let out a loud cry of pleasure as his body rocked back and forth between tongue and hand.

The hazy fog in his mind was just starting to clear when he felt those clawed hands on his hips once more. Thumbs parted him and he almost moaned at the thought of experiencing that pleasure again. That was when the piercing, ripping pain flooded his body, overwhelming his senses. His defenses down, he was unprepared for the agony that spread out from the tearing of his anal passage. His first scream went unchecked and he heard an answering groan from behind him.

He tried to choke back his cries afterwards, tried to escape what was happening to him at least mentally, but with the demon feeding lust straight into his brain, his mind stayed riveted on the present circumstances.

As pleasure and pain lanced through his mind, he tried to console himself by remembering he had a plan. A plan that had acquired a new facet just recently. A plan that was sure to succeed as long as he was patient.

He was brought to another exquisitely painful orgasm and felt the demon join in him in the devastating sensations of release. As he continued to kneel there and pant, he felt that tongue lazily swipe up his spine before the pseudo muzzle-like face buried itself in his dark hair. The creature backed out of him and then pulled him down and up against its chest as it lay down on the cool stone floor. Clawed hands stroked his hair as a sated purr vibrated from its body and into his.

His first order of business after he got out of this hell hole was to find a way to steal the demon's powers and destroy the beast.

**************
Naruto tried to keep his mind focused on the simple act of leaping from tree to tree as the lust boiled in his veins. He repeatedly had to suppress the urge to tackle the male that traveled in front of him and nail him to the nearest surface available. While the coat hid his form, Naruto could easily imagine the tight clothes clinging to the lithe body, could picture the way his muscles would flow like water under his skin as he propelled himself from branch to branch.

He tried and failed again to push the feelings away. His damn seal burned almost as bad as the ache between his legs. He didn't want to touch his lover in this state though. Sasuke deserved to be made love to, to have someone who cared touch him in passionate devotion, not fucked like some animal in heat.

He vaguely noted that his friend had dropped back even with him. He shrugged mentally, he didn't mind since it meant that he could stare at other aspects of his body rather than just his ass. He then realized with a start that those luscious pink lips were moving with the patterns of speech. He shook his head sharply and tried to focus on the words instead of the motion of the lips that shaped them. He halted automatically as Sasuke stopped on a branch and turned to face him.

"Wha-?" Not the most intelligent of responses, but the best he could do at the moment since his mind was picturing him dropping to his knees and devouring the pale teen's cock.

"Dobe, my eyes are up here," he heard the amused drawl of his lover's voice.

Naruto quickly yanked his eyes off of the other shinobi's crotch and back up to his face. Sasuke seemed to search his eyes for a long moment before starting to take a step toward him. Naruto immediately stepped back.

"No! Stay back," he warned almost desperately.

Sasuke hesitated only a moment before taking another step forward. "It's okay, dobe. I trust you."

"You don't understand!" he said in a strained tone, holding his clawed hand up as if to stop the other's encroachment.

"It's Kyuubi," Sasuke stated confidently, knowing he was right. The slit red eyes and deepened whisker marks giving ready evidence to the demon's influence.

"Dammit, Sasuke," Naruto said frantically, "I don't want to hurt you."

Sasuke raised a sardonic eyebrow. "You don't think I can handle myself, dobe?"

Naruto yanked his coat off, hoping to cool himself down so he could think rationally. "I don't want you to see me like this," he growled.

"Why not? The demon may not be you nor you it, but you are connected. It is part of you and always will be. Should I stand back and just accept the parts of you that are pretty? Wouldn't it be shallow of me not to accept all of you, dobe?" He had managed to take the last few steps up to the blonde during his rationalization. He lifted a hand up and gently stroked the darkened marks on the flushed cheek.

Naruto's eyes fluttered shut and he pushed his face into the caress. His red eyes snapped open and he made a last ditch effort to move away. He got half a step before the thick bough of the tree stopped him.

“Sasuke, there is nothing that I want more than to throw you down and take you here and now, but I don’t want to do it while I am feeling emotions and desires that aren’t my own.”

Naruto gave him a look that begged him to understand. “I want you, but when I am with you I want it to be us. I want the passion I feel to be mine, not some byproduct of Kyuubi raping Orochimaru.”

Sasuke hesitated, but nodded in reluctant comprehension. While he was taken aback by what apparently went on inside of Naruto’s mind and body, he realized that he really shouldn’t be. If the Sannin had become perverse in their old age, how much more so should an ancient demon that had been locked up for sixteen years. “When we get back you should go train. Channel some of that lust into anger and take it out on the dummies.”

“Sounds like you’ve had some experience with that,” Naruto ventured with a small smile. His blood was still buzzing, but he was doing a better job of ignoring it.

Sasuke turned and crouched slightly to leap. Just before he did so, he flashed a smirk in the blonde’s direction. “I had to do something after I woke up from dreams about you.” Without waiting for a response, he sprang from the branch and into the next tree.

Wearing a wide, stupid grin, Naruto followed.

**************
Sai looked around with the gawking attitude of a tourist. “Wow, they don’t seem to be here. I wonder where they could be.”

While Shino’s expression was hard to see under both the hood and the glasses, the others could feel the weight of his stare. They had searched several villages in an area around the last place that anyone had seen the missing shinobi and had come up empty handed.

Kiba gave a sigh. Those two were seriously starting to irritate him. Shino was a friend and teammate and Kiba loved him like a brother, but the boy needed to relax once in a while and go with the flow. Sai, on the other hand, was just fucking weird and somewhat annoying.

“So where do you think they went, Sai?” he asked in exasperation. He knew his friend wouldn’t ask and he didn’t feel like wasting more time than they already had.

Sai gave a blink as if surprised by the question. “I thought we weren’t following my intuition anymore?”

“Well we don’t have a whole lot of anything else to fucking rely on at the moment since we’ve lost their trail,” Kiba growled.

Hinata spoke up, trying to derail the fight that was brewing. “Please, Sai, if you know where he might be, since you are his friend and teammate…”

“Gee, why didn’t I think of that,” the dark-haired boy replied. Strangely enough, there wasn’t a sarcastic tone to his words, rather just a statement. It confused the others slightly since they were unsure if he was being a dick or not.

“Where?” Kiba prompted when the other boy fell silent.

“Oh!” Sai looked slightly startled. “Back where it all began, naturally. Otogakure.”

Kiba let out a squawk, Hinata gasped and even Akamaru let out a questioning yip.

Shino took a step towards the Anbu member. “You had better be right this time or this mission is over.” If the blonde wasn’t in Otogakure, Shino had no intention of roaming all over the countryside with the lunatic before him. He would go back and report to the Hokage first and get a different team put together to accomplish this task.

“You know I read in a book somewhere that sexual frustration can lead to anger management problems,” Sai said calmly as he looked up at the hooded figure before him. “Are you getting laid enough, Shino?”
