Path to Perdition (complete)

Chapter 7:

When Sasuke woke up, Naruto was gone again. Sasuke sighed; it had been going on for the past week…he’d sneak into Naruto’s room at midnight, then he would snuggle up to him or some nights they’d have sex, always Naruto being dominant and then Naruto would be gone in the morning and would come back late in the evening.

Sasuke was feeling defeated, whatever he did, he couldn’t get Naruto to listen to him. Every time, he opened his mouth, Naruto had shut him up by turning him on. The only bit of encouragement, he got was the fact that Naruto seemed to trust him enough to let him pleasure him while they were in bed…though the moment Sasuke’s fingers had approached his entrance, the blonde had shoved him away with a scared look in his eyes and refused to continue.

Sasuke slipped out of bed and into his own room. After a quick bath he decided that he had to get in touch with Konoha…he needed to inform them that it was fine and he was trying to convince Naruto. But then, he couldn’t leave. He decided to use his summons. He called on Kiken, one Shimo’s sons, a wolf of normal size. The black wolf looked at him enquiringly.

“Sasuke…it’s been a while. What can I do for you now?”

Sasuke quickly wrote a note explaining everything about what had happened to Naruto in cryptic ANBU codes and tied it around Kiken’s neck. “I want you to take this Konoha…no matter what! Even if a hundred snakes are after you or you’re in pain or you’re hungry or whatever…please just get this Konoha!”

“I understand…don’t worry about it.” The wolf loped off. Sasuke finished bathing and dressing. It about the time Kiken crossed the border as he estimated it later, that the pain gripped him.

He collapsed to the floor, biting his lips together to keep from screaming. He knew there might be a chance that Naruto had all ready sensed it, but if he hadn’t then he didn’t want Naruto to know. He didn’t want to destroy what little trust Naruto had for him. He cursed in his mind, trying to stave off the pain with thoughts about other things. He should have known Naruto would have considered the idea of him using summons.

The door opened suddenly. Sasuke looked up to see the smirking face of Jassin. He could see the silver haired boy was amused.

“Look what we have here. Does it hurt Uchiha? What did you do Uchiha, try to contact Konoha? Does sensei know about this?” Jassin’s voice was silky, not the sweet one he used with Naruto.

“Shut up…” Sasuke gritted out. He couldn’t help but look at the boy a little pleadingly. He couldn’t afford to have Naruto know. “Just…shut…up.”

Jassin’s smirk slipped off, he gazed at Sasuke with narrowed eyes. “You don’t want Naruto-sensei to know do you? We’ll see Uchiha…” he stood up. “I think I’ll go look for sensei…unfortunately for you, Naruto sensei might be back, before the pain subsides, unless you call the summon off. Konoha is three days away...”

With that boy walked off, closing the door behind him, and leaving the Uchiha to his thoughts. Unintentionally, Jassin had left a ray of hope for Sasuke. The most important power of his wolves was speed. Three days would just mean two hours if the summon was in full power, but if his summon was in just as much pain, maybe it could take three fourths of the day. For the first time he wished Naruto would come back late again.

Naruto watched Lord Takeshi sip his tea. They had had a very good morning together, discussing the village and its goal to become a hidden village while enjoying breakfast. Suddenly the door opened and a servant bowed. “Your apprentice would like to see you Naruto-san.”

Naruto looked up and saw a smiling Jassin. “Naruto-sensei…it’s been too long.” Naruto nodded, hugging the student, with a huge smile.

“Jassin…I didn’t think I was going to see you so soon. What happened?” Naruto asked, before suddenly remembering his manners. “Takeshi-san, this is my apprentice Jassin. He learns the arts of the smithy from me.” This was his way of indicating to Jassin that, he was posing as a blacksmith.

Jassin gave an imperceptible nod. “Nice to meet you Takeshi-san. “ Jassin took a seat, watching his sensei interact with the Lord. Nothing seemed wrong with the blonde; he seemed just like his Naruto. But Jassin had a feeling that something was not right. He tried to calm the burning ache in his chest…he couldn’t loose Naruto—sensei, he couldn’t.

Naruto glanced worriedly at his student. “Jassin-kun, is something wrong? Maybe we should take a walk, hm?”

Jassin nodded. They went out, walking along the market places. Naruto smiled at him. “What brings you here, Jassin?”

“Actually Orochimaru-sama just sent me to check up on you. He was worried; you haven’t been sending him any reports…” Jassin looked at Naruto in concern. “Everything is all right…ne sensei?”

Naruto nodded, with a bright smile. “Everything’s fine Jassin. You don’t have to worry so much, why don’t we just get some lunch?”

Jassin nodded, still looking troubled. He wondered if Uchiha had called off his summon yet. He wondered whether to go back, and let Naruto see how his pet was disobeying him, but something held him back.

♀

Neji stared out at the road, while patrolling the gates. Every one of Naruto’s friends were jittery, wondering when he would come back. Neji admitted to himself that the blonde’s strength did scare him and it was directed at Konoha. He wondered how Sasuke was…how did Naruto treat him, what had happened.

He stiffened; he could make out some form moving towards Konoha. Neji alerted Hinata and Kiba who were patrolling with him. They ran towards it and saw a black wolf, struggling towards the gates. Kiba looked at it with a gasp. “Kiken! What are you doing here? Is Sasuke with you?”

The wolf went through another spasm. It looked at Kiba trying to get him to look at the note. Neji spotted it and untied it, when Kiken spasmed and disappeared with a puff.

“This is Sasuke’s handwriting. Let’s get to the Hokage, quickly.” Neji made the necessary hand seals and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Tsunade looked at the group gathered in front of her. They were all Naruto’s friends, from Konohamaru to Sakura. She wondered how to tell them and then just decided to read out the note, that way she didn’t have to look at them. She began, softly holding back those tears that threatened to come, at everything her little brother had gone through.

Sakura listened to every word, wondering if Sasuke would be able to handle Naruto and bring him back considering the damage was so great. As Tsunade came to the end of the note, there was a heavy silence. For the second time in her life, she hated having to be the Hokage and make the necessary decisions. She shook her head lightly and looked up at them.

“Uzumaki Naruto has defected and from now on will be termed a missing nin. I would like everyone to try to capture him alive…but if it’s not possible he will have to be killed. Sasuke says he will try to bring him back…I will give him a week, after which the hunt can begin.” Tsunade clamped her hands on the desk to stop them from shaking.

“The village defenses will have to be heightened. Neji alert all the ANBU and brief them on his strength. If there are no more questions I want all of you to formulate a plan and think on it by tomorrow, we will have another meeting tomorrow afternoon.” Tsunade watched them nod and disappear, but Sakura remained.

“Do you think Sasuke will succeed? You can’t really mean to kill Naruto!” Sakura looked at her teacher. “I know he’s changed…but its Orochimaru’s doing! You know Orochimaru! You can find a way to reverse it!”

“Sakura, it’s not a something Orochimaru’s physically done…its psychological! Like it or not Sakura, Naruto hates us all…he has enough reason to do so!” Tsunade looked away. “I don’t want to! But we have to; in this state with that strength he could obliterate the whole village! I’m Hokage, all their lives rest on me! If I gave in to my feelings they could all die!”

“I don’t know if Sasuke can handle it…I’m scared Tsunade-sama. But its Naruto…I don’t know if I could fight him again, knowing all this has happened.” Sakura let her tears fall.

Tsunade grimaced. “But you’re a shinobi…you’re a tool. You will fight Naruto again if it comes to that. All we can do now is trust in Sasuke. You may leave Sakura.”

Sasuke suddenly felt the pain stop. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his shaky body. Naruto wasn’t back yet. Sasuke hadn’t had time to eat anything, yet. He got to his feet and stumbled a little. He frowned and controlled himself. So Kiken had delivered it, he hoped they wouldn’t take any hasty decisions.

The door opened suddenly and Naruto entered. He looked at Sasuke with a frown. “Are you all right? They told me you hadn’t had any meals yet. I don’t want you dying, unless I kill you myself. Is that understood?”

Sasuke nodded. “I’m fine, I just wasn’t hungry.” He looked past Naruto at Jassin, wondering why the boy hadn’t told. Jassin looked away with a scowl. Sasuke turned back to Naruto, who was rummaging through his bag.

“Here, wear this. We’re going out for an early dinner. Jassin has to leave afterwards. Hurry up.” He said as he threw a red shirt and black cargos at Sasuke. Then he left saying he would wait downstairs with Jassin.

Sasuke changed and joined the others outside. Naruto led them to a small restaurant, which offered different kinds of food. They could take their plates and sit anywhere they liked in the restaurants backyard, which was on the banks of a river. Sasuke filled his plate up and walked to a spot on the bank, which was cool and grassy. He didn’t want to be near Jassin, it was too awkward and he felt like pounding the boy every time.

Naruto sat down a little way away from Sasuke. He didn’t like the way Jassin was brooding, it wasn’t like the boy. But then he had all ready asked and Jassin hadn’t said anything, so he didn’t push it.

Jassin picked at his food, wondering about Naruto. What had Naruto been like when he was a child? What did he do? Had he had dreams the way he, Jassin had? Did he still have those dreams or any dreams for that matter? Jassin continually wondered if sensei could ever be happy…

“Sensei…what is your dream?” Jassin found himself blurting out.

“I don’t dream, Jassin. It’s waste of time.”

Jassin couldn’t help but notice the way Naruto’s eyes had flickered to Sasuke when he had asked the question. He looked at Naruto with a determined expression. “What dreams did you have? I know you had some, Orochimaru-sama and your omocha keep mentioning it…please tell me sensei…”

Naruto glared at the boy. But when it met Jassin's pleading eyes, it softened. Naruto wondered why he wanted to know so badly. “I used to dream about becoming Hokage. I wanted everyone in Konoha to acknowledge me because; I wanted to show them that I wasn’t the monster that they thought I was. I used to dream about Sasuke acknowledging me…I had dreams Jassin, until I realized they could never become a reality. I don’t want to be Hokage anymore…it doesn’t mean a thing to me.”

Jassin watched his sensei’s eyes flicker to Sasuke once more, and noted he hadn’t said anything about not wanting Sasuke to acknowledge him anymore. He took another bite of his food, before deciding it was enough. “I have dreams too sensei…but instead of giving up on them, I’d like to keep dreaming.” He walked away to leave his plate at the counter.

Sasuke looked up as he heard Jassin’s last words. He had been listening to the conversation. So Naruto really didn’t want to be Hokage…he believed that at last, but which of his dreams did Naruto still want to achieve?

♀

Naruto watched as his student replenished his supplies and shouldered his back pack. Then Jassin turned to look at him, a weird look in his eyes. “So I’ll see you later, sensei?”

Naruto blinked for some reason it sounded like a question. “Yeah you will, I’ll be back soon Jassin.” He watched Jassin’s eyes flicker to Sasuke, who was looking at the boy with an unreadable expression.

Then suddenly, Jassin threw his arms around Naruto. Naruto looked up and found pair of soft lips descend on his. Jassin was kissing him. Then Jassin pulled away, still hugging Naruto… “I’ll be waiting for you Naruto-sensei.” Then the arms and lips and everything were gone.

Naruto looked at the disappearing figure of his student. Then he turned to see Sasuke’s frown. The dark haired man turned away. “He loves you, dobe.” And then Sasuke disappeared to his rooms too.

Sasuke waited to hear the blonde come back, but he didn’t hear Naruto’s door until midnight. He waited for awhile and then slipped into Naruto’s room.

“Naruto?” he whispered. The blonde looked up.

“Sasuke? You’re supposed to be asleep.” Naruto frowned as Sasuke slipped in beside him. “Go aw….” He stopped as Sasuke’s cool hands slid into his shirt. Sasuke’s lips latched onto his neck, kissing him lightly. “Sasu…” he gasped out as Sasuke licked the tip of his nipple. Sasuke hands ran up and down his waist. Sasuke played with the pink nipple, swirling his tongue around it, laving at it and giving small sucks.

Then he moved onto Naruto’s other nipple, giving it the same treatment, loving the sounds Naruto was making. Smiling, Sasuke trailed his tongue over Naruto, slowly moving south after making sure that each patch of skin he encountered was wet and covered. Naruto’s hands had found their way into his hair. Sasuke untied Naruto’s black pajamas slipping them off gently; he wanted this to be slow. He curled his fingers around the rim of Naruto’s boxers and slipped them off, freeing Naruto’s throbbing cock. Then he did something he hadn’t done before, he kissed the tip of Naruto’s cock. He continued dropping small kisses over the skin, using just a bit of his tongue.

Naruto frowned through the fogginess and lust in mind. Something wasn’t right, Sasuke was being too gentle. Their sex was always fast and hard. This was new. Then he couldn’t think anymore, as Sasuke’s mouth enveloped the head as his hands teased his balls. “Ahh….Sasuke!” Sasuke sucked softly, just at the head, licking up all the precum, his tongue moving in and out of the slit. Naruto had begun to whimper, he sucked faster, taking another inch into his mouth. He rubbed light circles onto the blonde’s velvety balls, watching Naruto’s every expression.

Suddenly Sasuke moved down, until his nose was buried in the blonde curls. He knew the way Naruto liked to be deep throated, he moved, bobbing his head just a little, all the while humming. The vibrations nearly sent the blonde over the edge. Naruto gave a strangled scream, trying to buck against Sasuke’s hand which was pinning him down. Then suddenly that velvety heat was gone. Naruto opened his eyes and saw Sasuke stand.

The raven haired man stripped gracefully. Making sure that Naruto watched his every movement. Naruto looked for the trademark smirk that would grace the Uchiha’s features for bringing Naruto to this state, but it was absent. Sasuke’s eyes were like a void, completely blank. He was half erect, Naruto noted. What Sasuke did next, baffled him completely.

The Uchiha just lay down on the bed, next to Naruto, his legs splayed apart in total submission. A part of Naruto urged him to fuck the Uchiha senseless, but the greater part screamed that it wasn’t supposed to be like this. Where was the Sasuke…the cold, arrogant, brash Sasuke he knew? This Sasuke was just empty. Naruto stared at Sasuke…no he didn’t want him like this…he didn’t want to use Sasuke…did he?

“Hurry up Naruto…” Sasuke’s blank voice woke Naruto up. The blonde suddenly shook his head. Naruto tried to hold himself back, but he couldn’t….he bent down. It was like everything was in slow motion.

Sasuke looked up and found Naruto’s soft lips on his. Sasuke’s eyes widened, as Naruto pressed his lips against his harder. He gasped, letting Naruto’s tongue, invade his mouth, but it wasn’t dominating, but gentle. Sasuke kissed back, letting his tongue scrape against Naruto’s timidly. One of Naruto’s hands slipped down to his half erect member, stroking it into hardness.

Naruto rolled off Sasuke a little, looking at him. Sasuke could see the battling emotions in the blonde’s eyes; he kissed Naruto trying to wash it all away. Fortunately the blonde gave in. if he could have Sasuke would have just continued to kiss the blonde, but other parts of him were demanding attention. He moaned as Naruto licked at his nipple. He moved away.

“More Naruto…please…take me.” He watched as the blonde nodded reaching for the lube, but then he seemed to pause, suddenly deep in thought. Sasuke wondered whether to shake him out of it….what a time to be thinking! Naruto just nodded imperceptibly and opened the jar. Sasuke slathered his fingers with lube, so he could lube Naruto and himself.

But Naruto caught his hands, guiding them. Sasuke realized with shock that Naruto was guiding them to his own member. He looked at Naruto wide-eyed. “Naruto…dobe, what?”

Naruto didn’t meet his eyes. “Just be gentle ok?” Sasuke could hear the fear lacing his voice. Naruto wanted to be uke? But he didn’t let even Orochimaru…..he forced Naruto to look at him. He could see the fear and anxiety swimming around in the blonde’s eyes, but then he also saw a bigger emotion…trust.

Sasuke lubed his fingers once more and leaned forward to kiss Naruto, as his index finger trailed Naruto’s entrance. The blonde stiffened completely. Sasuke kissed him softly before pulling away. “I need you to relax, dobe…it’ll hurt if you don’t relax…”

Naruto swallowed hard and forced himself to relax. Sasuke slid one finger in, seeing Naruto scrunch his face up. “Shall I stop?” Naruto shook his head. “No, continue…it’s…uncomfortable.”

Sasuke nodded and slid his finger deeper, curling it slightly trying to find the bundle of nerves that would pleasure Naruto. When the blonde bucked suddenly with a light yell, Sasuke knew he had found it. He pumped Naruto’s erection lightly with his other hand, while slipping another finger in. he stretched Naruto gently with scissor like movements. He added another finger, leaning forward to kiss Naruto again.

“Don’t worry dobe; I’ll be really gentle….” Sasuke looked into those still anxious eyes. “I’ll make it good for you….like you made it good for me…” he removed his fingers and placed his cock at the entrance. He looked at Naruto giving him time to back out of this whole thing. Naruto just bit his lip looking at Sasuke with a light frown. Sasuke lifted one of Naruto’s legs onto his shoulder, hoping that would make this easier. After all it was his first time being on top.

He slid in, the head making a popping noise as it entered. Naruto’s grip on the sheets tightened. Sasuke inched forward, looking at the tears forming in Naruto’s eyes. At last he was completely sheathed in the blonde. He wiped Naruto’s tears away, kissing him again…after giving the blonde some time to adjust; he pulled out and began to move. He angled it so that he hit Naruto’s prostate with every alternate stroke.

Naruto made a keening noise. “Faster Sasuke….please go faster!” Sasuke complied, trying not to come until the blonde did, which was proving to be hard as the tight heat swallowed him.

“God…Naruto…I can’t take it anymore…” Sasuke bit his lip as he plunged in again. Naruto with awesome acrobatics somehow caught him and kissed him. “Just once more Sasuke…” Sasuke plunged in again letting go. Naruto came with a scream at the same time he did.

Sasuke fell onto Naruto trying to process the fact that he’d just come in Naruto…in the forbidden territory. Naruto was holding him tightly eyes screwed shut, mumbling incoherently. Sasuke smiled. “What did you say dobe?”

“I love you Sasuke…” Naruto mumbling, his head still foggy from the aftermath. The moment he said it though his eyes snapped open. Sasuke was staring at him in shock too…and then he smiled.

“I really love you dobe…” then he promptly fell asleep, out of exhaustion. Naruto watched him sleep, his emotions in turmoil…they had just made love…this hadn’t been just sex….Naruto spent the rest of the night tossing and turning.
