Kyuubi

Sasuke was feeling heavy, empty, dead.. he had been sitting up all night browsing the net. Typing words like ‘exorcism’, ‘demon possession’ and ‘paranormal help’ into his search engine.



He had found shitloads of bullshit. Religious propaganda, crazy people muddled in with the very few sites that seemed somewhat serious. Sasuke sighed, resting his head on his arms. He really shouldn’t be here..at school. Fuck! He had much more important things to do.



But after the little stunt he had pulled the previous day, night, whatever... his mother had grounded him for a month. And she had been very clear on the fact that he would go to school today.



She had been furious when he had came rushing in at 9 in the morning. Blood on his hands, pale as a sheet. His teeth chattering, not from the cold,but she needn’t know that. Oh no, she didn’t need to know anything. He had lied; told her that he had snuck out to meet some girl, that he had fallen asleep and tripped in his rush to get home.



She had believed him. Like parents often do when they get an explanation only half as frightening as the real reason. Even if she probably had a gut feeling that there was so much more too it- She hadn’t inquired anymore, had just given him a hug, before yelling at him some more for being unresponsible, just like mothers are supposed to do. And oh! How disappointed his father would be when he came home from the business trip.



Sasuke couldn’t have cared less.



He was sitting quietly in the back, absentmindedly listening to the mindless chatter of his classmates. Didn’t they know? That the world had stopped? How could they be so fucking ignorant? Hell had opened it’s gates yesterday, and no one seemed to have noticed. And it made Sasuke angry. So fucking furious. He could have shouted to them all, told them how fucking naive and stupid they were. But he didn’t, instead he bit his anger back. Forcing himself to feel something else....calm.



But he was so not alright. If anything; he felt broken, like tiny pieces of him had been left behind in Naruto’s house, mixed in with the shattered glass in the soft carpet.



Tiny pieces..



Significant pieces..



He was ripped from his brooding by a very familiar laugh. A laugh that sent his stomach into painful lurches. His lungs filled with acid and he felt, fucking felt how his eyes widened before he could stop it.. goosebumps raising all over his body.



“No, no.. relax Kiba. I’m fine, in fact I’ve never felt better” And oh god.. that familiar tuft of blond hair came into view, that mind boggling smile, those blue eyes boring into his soul. He swallowed. For a second there he had hoped, really hoped that it really was Naruto looking at him, but it wasn’t.



Naruto had never smiled quite like that, had never walked quite like that... had never laughed quite like that..just, almost.



The imitation was close enough to poke at those tiny shreds of missing pieces in Sasuke’s core, rip them open and make them hurt on a whole new level of pain.



“Hey Sasuke.. did you miss me?” Naruto, no..not Naruto, Kyuubi smiled again as he plopped down on the empty seat next to Sasuke, throwing a warm arm around Sasuke’s shoulder.



Sasuke didn’t say anything, he just stared. Anger creeping over him. He had no idea how to react. What the hell do you say to a demon possessing your best friend?

....Without sounding like a total nutcase?



He hadn’t anticipated this. And now his mind was running at an hundred miles an hour. He felt faint.. not really knowing how to react. Shivers ran through his body as the savage memories of yesterday haunted him. The knowledge that it was a monster sitting next to him. Smiling, laughing.. mocking him.



And not his best friend.



Did he push him away? That’s what every single nerve in his body screamed for him to do, while a little part, the tiniest part wanted to hug him. To press that body close and whisper reassuringly into Naruto’s ear. Hoping beyond hope that the real blond would hear him. Somewhere, somehow..



But that was just a stupid notion. There was no way in hell he was going to do that. After all; he was Uchiha Sasuke, not Rock Lee..



But could he really pretend like nothing at all?



Sasuke let out a heavy sigh before he turned his head to scowl at the blond sitting next to him, grinning like the proverbial fox, a fucking trickster playing games.





Naruto tossed his head back and laughed. Snickering before he poked Kiba in the arm playfully. Engaging him in the joke, making the brunet light up a mocking smile of his own, even when confusion was evident on his face, just behind his eyes.. He still wanted to play along. Stupid mutt... How could he be so blind? Did he really not see that it wasn’t Naruto??



“What’s the matter Sasuke.. fox got your tongue?”



Sasuke didn’t bother with a response. He just turned his head. Ignoring the goosebumps raising on his right arm, the arm next to Naruto’s. He felt torn on the inside, and was struggling to bite back his urge to cry, scream...



So when a warm foot rubbed against his, he couldn’t help the hiss that escaped him as he jerked away. “Don’t fucking touch me freak..” He scowled at Naruto while he backed away his chair, the linoleum floor protesting against the sudden movement with a loud whine. Naruto mimicked a pout at him, managing to look just right, dead on how Naruto would have done it.. igniting Sasuke’s anger even more. ‘How dare he use that expression?’ Both teens were ignorant to the heavy silence that had settled in the classroom. All eyes fixed on the former best friends in the back row..



The aggressions and hostility coming from the raven was almost touchable, and Kyuubi couldn’t help but let out a snicker, shaking his head, leaning in closely again, whispering as quiet as he could. He figured Kiba could hear, since he was the closest, but that didn’t matter..in fact, he wanted him to hear.



“You didn’t seem to mind my touch that much yesterday. Hmm....when you were fucking me. Gods! That felt so good.. correct me if I’m wrong, but you didn’t seem to dislike it either..”



Seconds..Kyuubi was counting them, waiting for the raven’s attack. Never had he seen anyone quite this angry. The deadly intent radiating from the other boy, lacing the very air with a sweet taste of hate. But he was controlling himself so nicely, swallowing that hate and anger. His hands closed in angry fists.



“Uchiha Sasuke! Uzumaki Naruto! if you two can’t keep quiet, I will have to ask you to leave.”



Kyuubi grinned, keeping Sasuke’s smoldering eyes for a couple of seconds more before the raven turned away, the motion looking painful, facing the teacher. “I’m sorry Mr. Umino.”



It didn’t take long before the class was continued as usual, with all the students attention directed towards the teacher who was explaining a mathematical problem.



Kyuubi was watching Sasuke from the corner of his eye.



Sasuke, oh beautifully trembling Sasuke. It didn’t matter how hard he tried to hide it. Kyuubi could still see that light shiver that clung to the other’s body, how the other’s breathing seemed a bit laboured, the way the tip of a delicate tongue was brought out to moisten dry lips.



Kyuubi figured he owed Sasuke, the way he had been brought into this body. Oh god, so fucking perfect. With that feeling, that heady feeling of an orgasm approaching, soaring inside and throughout every nerve cell. That odd euphoric wave building in him, something he had never really felt before. Not like that, never like that..so strong, so consuming, and fuck! it had felt so good.



That feeling that had lingered in his very core for hours after, made him suspect that he had gotten a little taste of love, human love. Something so petty and unimportant to him as a demon. But still; that carnal pleasure mingled with the love his host had felt towards the other in that moment -that was something he had never felt before. It was so uncertain, insecure..So pure.



And so fucking fun to stomp on...



But still, and this was freaking him out, that now, after all he had done; after he had repressed the original host so far back into the mind that there was no way he could break free.. or so he thought. Even now, he had the distinct need to be close to this boy.



How fucking ridiculous. It didn’t make sense at all.



Almost like the body remembered the other. His heart seemed a little lighter when he thought about seeing Sasuke. Breathing came a little easier. And he knew that he wanted to feel that euphoria soaring through him again. Because it had felt so damned good. Better than anything .. well, almost anything he had ever felt before.



But he knew, logically..that Sasuke would never give him that. Wouldn’t even touch this body so long as he was the dominating personality. Which was a shame really, for he had no intentions of letting the blond out, ever again. Oh no..



In a couple of weeks.. two, perhaps three.. the blond would be dead. His soul suffocated by the dread, fear and loss of hope. His conscience dead. Sucked down into the hell he was balancing on the very tip off right now. Demons don’t let your soul go to a good place.. never doubt that.





But Kyuubi intended to get what he wanted from someone else, and he had just the person in mind.



He smiled contently before he stretched languidly, balancing his chair on two hind legs, making sure to let a little patch of skin show on his toned stomach before he settled back into his chair with a loud thunk as the front legs hit the floor, smirking over at the dog boy; just knowing that he was watching. Fretting in his seat like always, never able to hold his attention at one place for too long, noticing every little unimportant happening in the classroom.



He leaned in close, letting his breath tickle Kiba’s neck hairs as he whispered “See anything you want?”



“You’re serious aren’t you?”



“Of course I am..”



“Shit.. well, hell yeah!” Kiba’s outburst brought them the undivided attention of the class again. Every single bored and tired face turning to watch them, curiosity shining from their eyes. A little hope for entertainment in the boredom.



"Uzumaki Naruto and Inuzuka Kiba! If you can’t stop disrupting this class I will have to ask you to leave.”



Sasuke snapped his attention back to his friends.. No,no,no,no.. they couldn’t leave. Kiba couldn’t leave, not now, not alone with that demon. Could he really not see that it wasn’t Naruto? Fuck! Sasuke cursed under his breath. Hesitating. He had been trying to decide what to do with this situation for the last twenty minutes, desperately grasping for some kind of plan. But the insistent scraping of Kyuubi’s pen had made it hard to concentrate. It felt like his senses were heightened, much more alert then usual. His super senses zoomed in on the creature sitting next to him, every little shift and scribble almost hurting his ears. The teachers voice and everything else just meaningless background noise.





And now, now Kiba was about to leave.. all alone, with that fucking thing. Shit! No,no,no,no...



It wasn’t really like Sasuke to worry about others, and he liked to believe that if it was someone other than Kiba, one of his closest and oldest friends, he wouldn’t worry as much.



But it was Kiba, and the stupid mutt would probably jump of a cliff if Naruto did it first.



“Kiba!” Sasuke hissed the words out, trying to speak in a whisper, but still keeping it loud enough for Kiba to hear. He knew that the rest of the class would hear him too, but it didn’t matter.. couldn’t matter.



“Are you fucking blind? Look at him,look at his mannerisms...at his eyes, at his teeth dammit. That’s not Naruto!”



The look Kiba gave him was a look reserved for crazy people and people with four heads.. “The hell are you talking about Sasuke?”



“Look.. Kiba, I know how this sounds. Trust me, I know.. but, do you remember that day in the cave? Do you remember how it felt like? In the darkness.. that eerie feeling of something in there with us?”



Kiba’s eyes glanced over to Naruto, to his scars, his smug smile, before he nodded. Still looking at the blond. Thinking.. so very, very hard. A frown settling between his brows.



Finally- doubt.



“And there was a thing down there with us. Wasn’t it?”



Another nod.. a bit more hesitant this time.



“Well. that thing, that demon followed Naruto home. And yesterday.. it took over. And that fucker there.” he pointed at the, now, flabbergasted looking blond. “Isn’t Naruto..”



Silence.. so heavy you could suffocate on it. Sasuke felt his cheeks heat up, even as he forced himself to breathe steady. Feeling like he had a desert in his mouth, his palms sweaty.



Kiba had a hard time believing what Sasuke was saying. It sounded like somekind of bad april fools joke. But the look the raven was giving him was so very, very serious. Kiba had never seen Sasuke this angry, this desperate, this -so not stoic.



Kiba was certain he would punch him if he laughed now. and that was just what Kiba felt like; laughing. The situation far to absurd. Naruto? Bright, happy Naruto.. a demon?



No way..



So why was he still chewing on this feeling of insecurity? His eyes searching the ravens face for any signs of a lie.



He found none.



If it had been anyone but Sasuke claiming these insanities, he would have called the joke minutes ago. Laughing his ass off. But he knew that Sasuke wouldn`t just make things like this up, and especially not about Naruto.



Kiba and Sasuke were still staring at each other when the teacher spoke up again. “That’s it! You three on the back row, out! Now! I will not tolerate this behaviour in my class.”



Iruka looked like he was about ready to burst a vein in his forehead, a steady finger pointed towards the door.. A broad smile spreading over Naruto’s features. A light mumble of “Looks like I get to play..” whispered to Sasuke as the blond walked by, backpack slung over a shoulder.
