A/N: sorry for the delay!!

Chapter 7:

Blood spattered everywhere. A few screams sounded. Naruto dropped and rolled. He stood blood all over his shirt. Wiping the bit on his eyes to clear his vision, he took in the sight. Gina lay on the floor, a pool of blood around her…the guy she had tackled was dead, and it seemed the bullet had gone right through him. It gave Naruto some hope for Gina.

He was up and running at the other man standing. Before the third one could fire someone else had tackled him. The hostages started taking the situation in hand. Naruto kicked the gun out of the startled man’s hands. He looked a little shocked and it reassured Naruto that the man hadn’t killed anyone before. They grappled each trying to get the other down.

The other man who had been tackled slammed the butt of the gun into his captor’s hand and aimed at Naruto. Narrowing his eyes he pulled the trigger. The bullet flew.

Naruto struggled as his assailant held him down. He turned slightly and tried to shift his weight. He let out a cry of pain as a bullet zinged past him, cutting through his shoulder. He staggered a bit but it was a flesh wound. He growled and hooked his leg around the man’s knee and pulled him off balance. Rolling on to him, he let the other customers deal with the other for a bit and began punching the man has hard as he could. Once he was sure he’d knocked the man out, he picked up the gun.

There was all this anger and desperation flowing through him. It was as if testosterone had taken him over completely, turning him into an animal…he aimed at the last man…making sure no one was in the ay Naruto fired. His hold body vibrated as the bullet left the gun and he couldn’t take his eyes off the man who was hit….the first person he’d killed. Maybe it was the after shock or the knowledge that the man had a hole in his chest that hit him…but it didn’t take away from the fact that he’d killed when there was no need to.

Naruto dropped the gun and sank to the floor. The adrenaline was wearing off, leaving him with a tired and empty feeling. He heard more than saw the police force rush in. The other hostages were filling them in on what was happening. After what seemed like ages, Naruto stood up and walked out of the bank. Gina was being tended to, so he had nothing to do but go home. He made his way to the car, somehow avoiding all the policemen who were around and proceeded to drive home.

--

“We just heard a few more gun-shots…the hostages seem to be taking the situation into their own hands…the police seem to be worried….this is too dangerous. With all the hostages milling about, the police don’t know whom to shoot at…”

Sasuke felt his insides clench painfully again. Naruto-idiot….pick up your fucking phone…are you all right? Please be all right, dobe…I didn’t mean it when I asked for you to be gone!! The news reader seemed to really like talking; it started to piss Sasuke off…he switched to other news channels only to realise this wa the only one covering it since it was local news as of now.

Finally the camera man focused on the hostages who were being led out by the policemen. Sasuke’s eyes frantically searched for a blond head, but the camera man swung back to the reporter too fast.

The stupid woman seemed to have gotten a hold of a hostage to interview. She was talking to another man who looked a little worse for wear. “So sir, what exactly happened at the bank?”

“Well you see, there was his man with green hair…he was he first one, he held out his gun and fired a few times into the air…” the man spoke and Sasuke drank in every word trying to get some news of Naruto. It was only five minutes later… (The newswoman let them man talk to his heart’s content) that Naruto was even mentioned. “…….and there was this blond man with her, they jumped at the men, but one of them shot the manager…then this man tackled the others and I joined the fray and well…I think he killed the third man….by mistake…I dunno…”

The reporter smiled. “I’m sure it was in self defence….thank you very much.” She turned back to the screen smiling. “So it seems apart from the manager none of the hostages have been badly hurt….”

Sasuke turned off the television. So Naruto was alive…thank god. He set the glass down on the coffee table, unaware that he’d been holding it too tight, until his cramped fingers began to ache. He killed someone…and Sasuke felt that emptiness return. It would have a bloody big impact on Naruto…but he’s safe…

Sasuke sat with his back to the couch and watched the front door hungrily. It seemed to take forever…this waiting for Naruto. Sasuke swallowed back the loads of emotion that threatened to overwhelm him. Ever since Arashi’s death, this had never been the case. He’d felt more of less blank, but this had given him a shock to the system. He knew that his rapid heart rate and uneasy restlessness would not go down until he saw Naruto safe and sound, no matter what the news said. The first thing he would do the moment he saw Naruto was….

The door opened quietly and Sasuke’s heart leaped to his throat as Naruto walked in, his shirt covered in the blood, a makeshift bandage on his shoulder and a light coating of the dirt from the bank floor. The blond man looked a bit dead, but the blue eyes seemed to seek Sasuke out. They looked at each other for a fairly long time before Sasuke found himself agilely leaping over the couch and making his way towards the blond. The moment the brunet reached him, they caught each other up in a hug, Naruto burying his face into Sasuke’s shoulder.

“You’re safe….”

There wasn’t any reply, but Sasuke didn’t actually expect one. Naruto pulled away and made his way to his bedroom. Sasuke followed him worriedly, a frown appearing as the blond threw himself onto his bed. He ducked out a moment and picked up the first aid kit and a few bandages. Sasuke sat by him moving closer; he got Naruto to sit up and started cleaning and dressing the wound. It wasn’t too deep and Sasuke was grateful for that. That done, they sat in silence, Sasuke stroking Naruto’s blond hair as the blond shut his eyes and pressed his head into the pillow.

“Naruto…”

“I killed him Sasuke…”

“I know…it was on the news…self defence…that’s ok…”

“No…” it was whispered.

Sasuke moved a bit closer. “Hn?”

“It wasn’t self defence. I killed him…” Naruto sat up and looked into Sasuke eyes. “In pure cold blood. He was fighting someone else and I just aimed and pulled the trigger.” The blue eyes took on a haunted look that Sasuke wanted to chase away.

“Naruto…”

“Cold blood…I didn’t even realise the enormity of it until…till I saw him there covered in blood…” Naruto’s voice rose a bit and cracked…

Sasuke moved closer, letting his fingers thread soothingly into the blond hair. “I’m sorry…” he didn’t know what else to say. If that was how it was, then what did you say to make it go away? He didn’t see it coming. Suddenly Naruto’s lips were upon his and he was pushed back into the bed.

(Lemon)

It took his breath away, but he couldn’t help but respond equally hard. Naruto was safe…and Sasuke didn’t know how to show the blond how glad he was. They broke apart, panting slightly and just looking at each other. Both their eyes glittering with emotion they hadn’t dared to show before. Sasuke couldn’t help but pull Naruto closer, their lips touching lightly, chastely before deepening into another full blown kiss, this time their hands running lightly over each other’s clothes. Sasuke hand’s pulled Naruto fully on top of him, his legs spreading to accommodate the blond man between them. Their groins came into contact with each other. They gasped softly.

“Sasuke…” Naruto’s eyes held a plea, a plea for it all to go away. Sasuke kissed him again.

“I’ll make it all go away…” his voice was soft, reassuring. He lifted his head to shower a few kisses down Naruto’s jaw, before letting his tongue trail against Naruto’s lips. His hands slipped under Naruto’s shirt and slid up and down his toned chest. Naruto opened his mouth a bit allowing, Sasuke’s tongue to slip in. A tongue which mapped out every single bit of Naruto’s mouth. The blond couldn’t help but moan a bit, as Sasuke’s hands reached his dusky nipples and rubbed them a bit. He slid his hands down Sasuke’s back into his pants, to cup the soft, firm ass cheeks and pull Sasuke against him. Their groins met and again leeching whatever sanity was left from the situation.

Naruto growled a little, suddenly wanting to concentrate only on the pale man beneath him. He took control of the kiss deepening it as he ground down again, eliciting a groan from Sasuke. His fingers attacked Sasuke’s shirt, almost ripping the buttons off, in his haste to get to the pale chest. Sasuke in a completely un-Sasuke-like way fumbled trying to Naruto’s wife beater off as well. They were both bare-chested within minutes, hands sliding over each other’s chests, exploring, mapping every bit of flesh. Naruto kissed Sasuke, before moving off to kiss down his jaw line. At a certain spot he could feel Sasuke’s erratic pulse under the smooth, pale skin. Naruto bit down, pleased at the small gasp that Sasuke gave, concentrating on leaving a large red hickey on the spot. He licked at it soothingly, before moving downwards, kissing and licking until a nipple blocked his progress. Looking at the pale, light nub, he gave it a light graze with his tongue. Sasuke stiffened for a minute before relaxing beneath him. Naruto licked it again, before trying out the effect of a nip. Sasuke bucked up against him, making them both groan out in pleasure. Naruto started with the other nipple as Sasuke moved to undo the blond’s pants. Soon the bothersome garment was off and Sasuke began on his own. The friction improved so much when they were clad in their underwear that Sasuke didn’t hesitate in stopping Naruto’s ministrations and pulling off the briefs he wore. Both men hissed as their swollen cocks met. Sasuke grabbed Naruto’s hips and they began to move against each other frenziedly. They weren’t really thinking about what they were doing…the pleasure was too great and they had wanted this too long.

“Sasuke…how do we do this…? I’ve never…” Naruto stopped a little. Sasuke said nothing and ground into him. Naruto just let himself be guided for a bit. Then Sasuke reached for a vial of oil which had conveniently been left on the table next to the bed. He seemed to frown for a second or so, but then coated his fingers in it. Naruto tensed…he didn’t want to bottom…not right now…then Sasuke slid his fingers down and into himself. Naruto’s eyes were riveted to the brunet’s pink hole…to the fingers moving in and out slickly. Before his brain could comprehend anything, slick fingers were coating his cock, and then he was positioned right at the entrance into Sasuke…

Sasuke took a deep breath…he didn’t want Naruto to know…that this was his first time bottoming. But he could see the indecision in Naruto’s eyes and he couldn’t stop now. It was all right…it was Naruto…his hazy mind couldn’t see past that. He stroked himself as Naruto began to enter; pain began to seep in mixing with the pleasure from his cock…Naruto stopped a few times to take a deep breath before continuing. Sasuke grit his teeth…stroking harder not wanting to go limp…not now. Finally Naruto was in as far as he could go; the blond moved a little trying to fit more comfortably and suddenly he drew a startled gasp from Sasuke. “Th…there…right there…”

Naruto caressed Sasuke’s face before moving out half way before he slid back in attempting to hit that spot. They slowly settled into a rhythm, though the beginning was a bit awkward. Sasuke’s mind was just a glob of pleasure, his senses were heightened and he could feel Naruto in him. Naruto began to stroke him in time to his own pumps and Sasuke thought he’d melt. He was being pushed unfailingly towards the peak. For Naruto it was very different. Apart from just being with a guy this was Sasuke…and this was better than his dreams. The look on Sasuke’s face as he writhed under him was more of a turn-on than he’d thought possible. This was an aggressive male Sasuke writhing under him and giving up to him…that was when Sasuke moaned his name out. The deep voice saying his name that way sent Naruto into orgasm mode and all thoughts were now focused on reaching the climax together.

They sped up, panting hard, grappling to keep their rhythm going and to get there. One hard thrust and Sasuke came, Naruto following him. The blond collapsed on top of the raven, exhaustion seeping over him.

(End Lemon)

Naruto pulled out and snuggled into Sasuke, pulling the bedclothes over them. They hadn’t cleaned up, but neither had the energy to get to the bathroom. Naruto just used his boxers to wipe the brunet clean and then shut his eyes.

The light desert tunes flowed from the speakers at the Lebanese restaurant. The two dark haired men sat silent, observing the others for a while, until the shorter haired one smiled suddenly. “It’s been quiet a while…what can I do for you?”

The older man helped himself to a creamy piece of chicken kebab. “It’s important that you do this right. You have heard that brat Arashi is dead?”

The younger man nodded. “Car crash…”

“His son Naruto is back in town…” the older man slid a few photographs over. “Take a good look at him…”

“Hm…wasn’t he involved in that hold up at the bank this evening?”

“That’s got nothing to do with this. They’ll acquit him of course. Your job is a lot easier. The other man in the picture is Arashi’s lover…also Naruto’s best friend. Now here’s the thing…”

The younger man listened carefully and nodded. He liked the plan. “This will be enjoyable. Is that all?”

“We have another person working on the Uchiha…so little Naruto is all you have to concentrate on…”

The younger man nodded and stood. “Consider it done then.”

It was warm. He couldn’t help but snuggle into it some more. He sighed at the thought of actually having to wake up and get on with his day. His pillow felt extremely good today too, firm but soft…kind of smooth…obsidian eyes shot open as the recollections of the night before hit him full force. Sasuke found himself looking at blond hair…below which a tan face, exactly like Arashi’s slept peacefully. Naruto…

He’d slept with Naruto…Arashi’s son…Naruto…his best friend… Naruto… who’d shunned him. No, not another Uzumaki! Not Naruto….no…he couldn’t revive this! Who knew why Naruto had done what he had? Yeah he’d killed someone…but that didn’t mean they had to…. Sasuke didn’t know what he’d been thinking last night…

He scrambled out of bed and bit back a yell as his ass hurt. It hurt so bad…he limped to the bathroom to continue the rest of his freak out session. He’d let Naruto top…he’d never ever let anyone top. Not even Arashi…oh no…

Sasuke leaned against the cold mirror and bit back the pain, confusion and fear that threatened to overwhelm him. Uchiha’s did not feel fear…and now that Arashi wasn’t around to make Sasuke feel whatever he actually felt, he decided to revert to the Uchiha form of things. Taking a quick shower and moving to his own bedroom for his clothes, he made his way to the kitchen. Downing a couple of pain killers so he’d be able to walk properly he started on making some eggs for breakfast. I bottomed…I submitted…

He sat at the table trying to figure out how to face Naruto when the said blond came in. Naruto looked fresh and robust, with his hair still wet from the shower. Sasuke tensed, not knowing what to expect and keeping his face blank.

“Good morning. Mmmm…eggs….did you make me any, bastard?” Nothing gave away the fact that anything had happened when it came to Naruto’s demeanour.

Sasuke nodded. “They’re over there. How do you feel?”

A shadow passed through Naruto’s eyes, but the blond gave him a short smile. “Pretty good…” Naruto could see the concern and worry in Sasuke’s eyes but he didn’t want to work on it. He didn’t want to remember that he’d let any of that happen last night. He’d never thought he’d allow himself to sleep with Sasuke…maybe if they pretended that nothing happened, it would go away.

“Naruto…” Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

The blond gave him a look of his own. “What?” his voice came out tense.

“Pretty good? Don’t lie to me Naruto…”

“Why ask a question if you all ready know the answer?” this time Naruto’s voice came out as a growl.

Sasuke decided not to rise the bait. He just stood to make a few more eggs and slid them onto a plate before handing it to Naruto, who took a seat opposite him. They ate silently, both acutely aware of what had happened between them.

“It was a stupid question.” Sasuke didn’t know why he was trying to smooth things over; this was when he was supposed to be pushing the blond away.

Naruto just grunted. Inside he was feeling the deepest kind of turmoil he’d ever felt. Luckily for them both his phone rang. It was Kiba. Naruto picked it up and slid out of his chair. He just wanted to get away from Sasuke for now….he couldn’t handle any of this shit.

Kiba was droning on about what Miyagi had done during the week, before actually coming to the point. He wanted to meet Naruto for some advice about his business and then he wanted to discuss Miyagi’s inheritance. Naruto took a while getting the silly dog to get to the point, knowing that the man was only doing it to provoke him.

He finally got off the phone, but even before breakfast was done, the police called in order to make some enquiries. It took a few hours of talking, explaining and discussion for them to tell Naruto that he’d have to come in to a court hearing. All the witnesses had testified that Naruto had acted in self defence so the hearing was just a formal procedure.

Naruto got back feeling pretty dead. He couldn’t help reminiscing the whole incident, the look in the man’s eye as he fell dead was stuck in his memory. He shook his head to get it out, but it kept coming back. If he wasn’t thinking about that he was thinking about Sasuke…Sasuke last night, how Sasuke had made the pain go away last night. Naruto hung his head. Things had gotten so much more complicated….just when they were getting better.

He looked up to see Sasuke standing at the door. The brunet was leaning against the doorframe, looking absolutely sexy, but what caught Naruto’s eye was the picture frame next to him, the one with his father and Sasuke. Roiling anger took a hold of him suddenly. Sleeping with Sasuke had only made the jealousy he’d felt before worse. Somehow sleeping with Sasuke yesterday knowing that Sasuke didn’t have any feelings for him…that Sasuke had only had feelings for his father made him mad.

Sasuke completely unaware of all this commotion in Naruto’s head, made his way up to the blond. He sat down next to him, glancing at the injured shoulder for a moment. “I think we should change the dressing…let me get the first aid kit…”

“That won’t be necessary. I think its fine.”

Sasuke seemed a bit surprised at Naruto’s tone. “Naruto, we have to change it and now’s as a good a time as any. Just let me do it okay? Or are you afraid it’ll hurt?”

Naruto looked up a snarl on his lips. “I’m not afraid.” It sounded childish, which made him angrier. “Listen, just because you were my slut for one night, doesn’t make you my caretaker okay?”

The smirk on Sasuke’s face froze. It took a while for him to process that sentence. “What did you say?”

“I said just cause you were my slut for one night, doesn’t mean you can take care of me. It might have worked with my father, but I don’t want to be mollycoddled.” Naruto smirked. “Maybe you should see to yourself? I detect a little limp there…ass hurting much?”

There was a short growl and Sasuke was on him in a minute. Before they knew what was happening they were pummelling the guts out of each other. Sasuke forgot about the wound, forgot about Naruto having killed someone, it was like he could only see red. A short whimper from Naruto when he struck his shoulder stopped him. He stood up and started to back away.

His face was pale and he had a large bruise forming on his cheek. His onyx eyes met Naruto’s…pain, betrayal and hurt filling them like pools. “I can’t do this anymore….” Then he turned and ran, leaving Naruto prostate on the floor.

He ran for a whole block to work off all the feelings. He didn’t get this…so had Naruto just been using him? Or maybe Naruto was just freaking out? Sasuke didn’t know what was going on, he’d put aside his Uchiha pride and tried to make things okay. His common sense kicked in. whether he was freaking out or no, Naruto had gone far enough. He shouldn’t have to take this shit anymore, now that Arashi was gone, no more Uzumakis!

His phone buzzed and Sasuke glanced down at the id. It was Gaara. Making up his mind in a split second decision he picked it up. “Hello? Gaara? I have something to say. I’ve given it some thought…I’d love to date you…”
