1934, ch 2

Sai keyed into the small, crowded apartment. Immediately he was attacked by a loud woman chawing her gum noisily.
“Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, Sai! What the hell happened to you?” Ino shrieked, flying at him and poking at his blackening eye. She forced him to sit down at the table and put some ice chips in a towel.
“I had a client tonight…” He sighed, digging in his pockets and throwing a wad of cash, a pocket watch, and a wedding ring onto the table, as well as a hip flask full of vodka. “But he gave me trouble…He liked it a little too rough.” Sai said frankly, holding the icepack against his face.
Ino sighed, counting the cash. “Sai, you gotta start making more money…we have rent to pay, mouths to feed…” She said, indicating the four other prostitutes asleep in the back room. Sai nodded.
“I understand…”
Ino inspected the pocket watch.
“All though, this aint half bad…Shika and Choji are motoring over to Missoula after Saint Pat’s day…I’ll see if they can’t fetch us a good price up there…” She said, putting both the ring and the watch in a chipped bowl on top of the icebox.
“You should get some sleep. You and Mary-Catharine are working the parade crowd tomorrow…”
Sai nodded, standing up.
“Thanks, Miss. Ino…”

Naruto woke up in the morning, his body slightly sore from the mattress in the extra bedroom. Sakura had left with Tenzou sometime the during the night, shortly after Jiraiya came in and sent Naruto to bed. He smiled, inhaling as the sun made it’s way onto the bed. He could smell breakfast cooking in the kitchen and he got up, getting dressed and going to check it out.
To his surprise, Kakashi had stayed the night and was sitting at the dinner table reading the newspaper. He smiled when he saw Naruto.
“Good morning…” He said, standing up, oddly stiff. Jiraiya was in the kitchen, tuning bacon with a fork and singing lowly to himself.
He set breakfast on the table, sitting down.
“we’re heading back down to butte today…” He said, dishing himself up some eggs. “We’re going to go to the St. Patrick’s day celebrations….” He said.
Naruto nodded, helping himself to the milk. He smiled to himself. Large crowds meant he had a greater chance of running into Sai…
They finished breakfast and Kakashi and Jiraiya went into Jiraiya’s bedroom to talk, or so they said. Naruto finished getting ready, making a lame attempt at combing his hair. He put his hat on, pulling it down over his eyes like Mr. Namekaze had done.
Kakashi came in to his room, wiping his mouth slightly. He froze when he saw Naruto.
“You look like your father, Naruto…” He said, his voice tinged with sadness. Naruto sighed, pulling his jacket on as Jiraiya knocked on the doorjamb.
“Come on, kid, we got to go!”
All three of them piled into the car moment’s later, pulling down the hill towards the larger town.
When they got down to Park street, the parade was in full swing. Bagpipers were marching past in green kilts, and behind that was a marching band from Great Falls.
Naruto immediately lost himself in the crowd, which was slowly joining the parade. The entire street smelled strongly of alcohol, and people were pushing, shoving, laughing and hanging on each other. It had appeared as if the entire city had become drunk.
He grinned. This gave him an opportunity to look around for a bit. He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked around. The crowd seemed to be slowly moving west, pausing and condensing around intersections. He looked around for any sign of a familiar face.

Sai looked over at Mary-Catharine. She was a pretty girl with a soft Irish brogue, peaches and cream skin, and wide brown eyes that men often fell over themselves for. When she had moved in with Ino, she had sworn by her life she was sixteen, but Sai knew she was only thirteen. But he didn’t care. She was an expert pick-pocket, and rarely had to take it any farther than ’excuse me’.
He watched as Mary-Catharine moved through the crowd, her slight figure darting in between the drunken mass. She’d be okay…
He turned around, pulling up the collar on his coat, to keep out the slight chill.
He looked around for an easy target.
Suddenly, he was crashed into by a tall blond with his hat pulled down over his eyes.
“Hey, watch…” He froze, as did the blonde. A pair of large, azure eyes blinked at him in surprise.
“Sai?”
“Naruto?”
Two hearts seemed to stop right there.
“Hey, long time no see…” Naruto said dumbly. Sai simply stared.
“That’s an understatement…” He said bluntly, looking for an excuse to leave. Unfortunately for Sai, an excuse came in the form of a regular of his; Elisha Daly. He was a tall, angry young man with dirty blonde hair.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Sai Oda…” He said, running his hand across Sai’s ass. Sai flinched slightly and looked up at the man who was well over six foot. Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn’t look up. “You doin business today? How about a little ménage’a’trois…” He said, bringing over a blonde woman in a short black dress with her hair hanging over one eye. The woman eyed Naruto closely. “I’ll pay double…” Elisha offered.
Sai bit his lip…they needed the money…
“Sorry, buddy, no sale…” Naruto said, seizing Sai by the hand. “He’s with me.”
Elisha narrowed his eyes, ignoring the fact that the woman was now practically hanging on him.
“Come on…” She moaned. Something seemed chillingly familiar about her… It took a moment for it to sink in to Naruto, but soon he realized that the woman was actually a man. “I’ll take you back to Venus Alley…”
Elisha smirked. “Come on, Sai…with a little persuasion from my father…I could get you into Dumas… ” He touched Sai’s face. “You’re so pretty…”
Sai simply blinked in surprise. It was rare for Elisha to touch him in any other way than sexual.
“I said he’s with me…” Naruto said, pulling his hat down farther. The taller man leaned down to look at Naruto closer. Naruto could almost smell the alcohol on his breath.
“You’re…Namekaze…” He said dumbly. The blonde snorted.
“Don’t be stupid, Namekaze’s dead…must be some poser…”
“Shut up, Deidara…” Elisha seethed, turning on the other man. “I’m not fucking stupid!” He said, striking him across the face, then grabbing his chin and kissing him violently.
Naruto took this opportunity to drag Sai into a nearby alley. Sai wrenched his hand away from Naruto’s, furious that the other boy had the balls to break off a business transaction.
“What the hell were you thinking?” He snapped, raising a hand to slap Naruto, who had grown quick. He grabbed the other boy by the wrists, trapping him against the wall. He could feel Sai’s slight form through his thin clothes. He leaned in, capturing Sai’s lips in a kiss that grew more passionate as it went. He nibbled lightly on the brunette’s lower lip, running his tongue gently along the plump flesh. Sai moaned into Naruto’s mouth, closing his dark eyes. No one had kissed him like that in a long time, with so much passion, so much longing…it took his mind back to the moment in the alley behind Mrs. Chin’s laundry…
Naruto made his way gently upwards, tilting Sai’s head back with his fingertips.
Sai hadn’t noticed when Naruto had let go of his wrist’s… Naruto was gentle, touching lightly on his face and neck, slipping his tongue inside Sai’s mouth and running it against the other boys tongue. Naruto pulled away, his azure eyes looking deeply into Sai’s brown ones, his tongue bringing a slight stream of mixed saliva with him. Sai stood there for what felt like an eternity, breathless and just staring at the other boy.
Naruto dug in his pockets, pulling out some money. “If it’s the money you’re worried about, this should take care of whatever you lost in that transaction…” He handed Sai the folded up bills. Sai took it, frowning slightly. It was more than he usually got.
“So, what’ll it be?”
Naruto blinked at him. “What?”
“Well, you hired me…” Sai said, looking at him through dark eyes. He wanted another kiss…
“I, ah, ah…” Naruto stammered, blinking, making him look even more cute than before. Naruto wracked his brain, trying to remember what he saw Jiraiya doing with prostitutes… He shook his head. He couldn’t do that…he hadn’t seen Sai in years…
“Would you just…why don’t…why don’t we go get something to eat?” Naruto asked, offering his hand to the older boy. Sai blinked slowly.
“So you want me to be your date?” He said, his heart rising slightly. He had often dreamt of just being with, just seeing Naruto again… He took Naruto’s hand and they walked up the ally.
“So, what do you want to do?” Sai asked, looking around at the crowd.
Naruto thought for a moment, looking around.
“Let’s get something to eat…” He said, walking towards a street vendor that was selling corned beef and cabbage.
He paid the man and the two of them walked around, talking idly as they went.
“So, where the hell did you disappear to?” Sai asked, leaning against a brick wall.
“On the move, mostly…” Naruto said, looking up at the sky that was threatening to snow. “You know, I always wondered if you had healed up from that gunshot…” He said, eying Sai’s lithe form.
“Yeah…Orrochimaru took me in…his personal nurse took good care of me…” Sai said, trailing off as he watched a man go past with a woman hanging all over him. Naruto was quiet, thinking back to what Jiraiya had said about Orrochimaru.
“So…you…you’re a…”
“A prostitute?” Sai asked. It was charming how Naruto had been uneasy with the word.
“Yeah, that…” He said, shoving his hands in his pockets and looking down. “How long have you been a…a…prostitute? Surely this is something new?”
Sai shook his head. “No…for as long as you’ve known me, I’ve been a prostitute…”
Naruto stared.
“But you were like, twelve or thirteen!”
“Some guy’s like…young kids…” Sai said, his face suddenly looking tired and sunken. Naruto’s thoughts trailed back to what he saw behind Mrs. Chin’s laundry. He wanted to kiss Sai again… to take him in his arms and protect him from everything…
“Come on…” Naruto said, taking Sai’s hand again and pulling him a little closer to him. They walked down the street, hand in hand, towards the Konoha. Sai felt safer when he was with Naruto, more complete than he had ever felt before. He rested his head on the blonde’s shoulder, wrapping his arm around his waist and smiling as they entered the bar.
“Naruto Uzumaki…” He heard someone say from the corner.
Naruto glanced over. Sasuke was sitting with his feet on the table, a red headed woman in a short skirt and glasses was clinging to him, running her hands in places where they probably shouldn’t have been this early in the day. Naruto glanced over at Sakura, who was serving drinks and looking totally devastated, despite her broad smile.
“Sasuke?” He asked. “Long time no see…” He said, tightening his grip on Sai’s waist.
“So, you picked yourself up a common whore…” Sasuke said, taking a swig of amber liquid. Naruto narrowed his eyes. “Careful you don’t catch anything…” He said, draining the glass and standing up.
“Come on, Karin.” He said, dragging the woman out.
Naruto sighed, pulling out a seat for Sai before sitting down himself.
“Hey, guys, what’ll it be?” Sakura said, coming over almost immediately. “Oh, hello, Sai…” She said, smiling slightly.
“Ah…I don’t know…” Naruto said, looking down.
“Could we get some whiskey?” Sai asked, glancing over at the bar. He knew he shouldn’t drink… Sakura smiled.
“Coming right up…”
The door opened and in walked Jiraiya and Kakashi, who both looked angry when they saw Naruto and Sai.
“Naruto. What did I tell you?”
“You told me not to go looking for Sai, but Sai found me, so there you go.” Naruto said, slightly irritated. He was sixteen, dammit! Jiraiya sighed and sat down, followed by Kakashi.
They sat, talking and drinking until late in the day. Eventually, Sai stood up, glancing at Naruto.
“I should probably get going…” He said quietly.
“Wait, I’ll walk you for a bit…” Naruto offered.
“No you wont….” Jiraiya said, his cheeks reddened by alcohol.
Naruto narrowed his eyes. “Jiraiya…please?” He said, putting a hand on Sai’s back. Jiraiya shook his head.
“No.”
“Oh, come on, where’s the harm…” Kakashi said, clearly inebriated. Jiraiya glared at the silver haired man but shrugged.
“Whatever…” Jiraiya said, waving them off as he took another swig of amber liquid.
Naruto beamed, taking Sai’s hand and walking out the door.
The street was still slightly crowded, though those that kept godly hours had gone home. Almost immediately, Sai started hanging on Naruto, kissing him on the cheeks and lips. He didn’t know what Sakura had put in the whisky, but it was messing with him something fierce.
“Come on, Naruto…let’s find a nice dark place…” He whispered, leaning his head on the boy’s neck. Naruto could smell the alcohol on the teens breath.
“You’re drunk, Sai…besides, someone might see…” He said, putting his hand on Sai’s lower back. Sai let out a frustrated moan.
“But you paid for me…at least let me service you…” He said, nuzzling Naruto’s ear. Naruto blushed and shied away.
“Not here…”
Sai giggled, brushing his fingers over Naruto’s chest, fiddling with the buttons on his shirt.
“Mmm, I bet you taste good…” He said, capturing the younger teens lips in a sloppy kiss.
Naruto blinked, not sure of what to do. Sure, he wanted to do things to Sai that he wasn’t sure it was morally right to do, but he wanted to at least date the guy first…
They continued down the street a little ways, completely oblivious to the fact that they were being followed.
Sai struggled to keep his thoughts together as they hurried along the streets, but Naruto was acting too damn sexy, hell, to him, that lamppost they just passed was damn sexy…
Naruto was heading towards the spot where they had run into each other earlier, which was good for Sai, because he lived nearby.
Several people passed, eyeing them wearily, but not asking questions.
Sai’s hand drifted south cupping Naruto’s butt cheek firmly.
“I bet your big…” He muttered in the boy’s ear, running his palm over Naruto’s clothed butt. “I bet I can’t even fit my mouth around it…”
Naruto blushed.
“Considering a few years ago, you weren’t even sure I had one…”
“I only said that ‘cause I thought you were cute…you’re cute when you blush…” Sai said, dragging the boy into the ally and kissing him deeply. Naruto wrapped his arms around Sai, kissing back this time. Sai lifted his leg slightly, brushing his thigh against Naruto’s groin and grinding slightly. Naruto blushed deeper, groaning at the friction. Sai smirked against Naruto’s lips, his hands finding the buttons of the blonde’s pants.
Sai smiled victoriously to himself as he spotted the growing bulge in the younger teens pants. He palmed Naruto’s growing erection, rubbing it through the fabric. Naruto let out a moan, bucking his hips towards the feeling. Naruto was panting, his eyes screwed shut as his hands wandered across Sai’s back, finally coming to rest in the brunets hair. Sai leaned up, running his tongue along Naruto’s lip before pressing their tongues together, grinding his hips against the blondes. He undid Naruto’s belt with one hand, reaching down the front of the teens wool pants, running his fingers through a thick thatch of curls that he imagined were the same color of gold that was on the boys head.
Naruto moaned, fisting his hands in Sai’s hair as Sai’s cool, thin fingers wrapped around his throbbing member. It seemed to jump as the teen touched it, begging now, for a release. Sai’s talented fingers ran their way up the quickly hardening shaft as Naruto begged and pleaded for more.
“Naruto…tell me what you want…” Sai said with a whisper, his lips ghosting over the boy’s golden cheeks. Naruto opened his azure eyes, clouded over by lust. His lips were swollen and puffy and his hair was plastered to his forehead by sweat.
“Sai…” he murmured, gasping as Sai grew more aggressive in his movements. “I…I want more…I want you…” He gasped softly.
Sai dropped to his knees, undoing the rest of Naruto’s pants, exposing the blondes hardened cock to the cool night air. Naruto drew a shuddering breath as Sai licked at the tip, swirling the talented organ in the pre-cum and drawing it again across the slit. Naruto’s fingers scratched the brick behind him, searching for something to hold on to. He buried his other hand in Sai’s soft, black hair, moaning softly as Sai began to suck him down inch by inch, each suck harder than the last.
Sai’s gentle fingers found their way up Naruto’s thigh, tracing soft patterns on the firm skin before they began to gently stroke Naruto’s balls, which felt heavy with the weight of impending release.
It wasn’t long before a violent orgasm ripped through Naruto’s body, unable to be held back. He sprayed his load all over Sai’s face, moaning his name loud enough for a few pigeons to take flight in fear.
Sai smiled up at the blonde, licking the hot white substance off his chin.
“You liked that, didn’t you?” He said, running a pale hand over Naruto’s exposed stomach. Naruto’s eyes followed his every movement, as if lost in a trance. Sai smiled.
“I thought so…” He whispered, taking the blondes flaccid penis in his mouth and cleaning him off. “You taste so good to me…” Sai murmured, standing up and wiping his face off on his sleeve. He leaned forward again, kissing Naruto on the neck while buttoning the younger teens pants.
“Naruto!” A voice shot through the alley’s darkness as a man came towards them. Sai pulled away looking disappointed. Jiraiya came towards them, looking beyond irritated.
“We’re going home!” He said, grabbing the teen by the arm and dragging a protesting Naruto off down the alley. Sai smiled as he watched them go, his heart swelling in his chest.
He wondered for a moment, if he really did love the goofy blonde… He shook his head, dismissing the thought as he tuned, cutting up the dark alley towards the crowded, noisy apartment.
He heard a noise on a fire escape above him and looked up.
There was a woman in a long black coat with a fox-fur collar sitting on the edge of the railing, her legs crossed and dangling over the side.
“Sai Oda…” She said, the alley echoing with her deep, smoky voice. Sai froze blinking up at her.
“Yeah?”
The woman shifted, and to Sai’s surprise, leapt lightly off the wrought iron framework, landing on the cobblestone without even flinching. She came towards him, her heels clicking rhythmically on the stones. She was fashionably dressed beneath her coat, looking just like a model from a fashion article.
“I understand you’re ’in the business‘… “ She said. A white paper flower held her blue finger waves away from her pale face. “I have a proposition for you…”
Sai shook his head. “I don’t do women.”
The woman laughed slightly, sending chills down Sai’s spine. “This is a proposal of a different kind…that Naruto Uzumaki…you like him?”
Sai blinked. “Well…yes…I do…” He said quietly. The woman smiled.
“What if I said that we would pay you to spend time with him, get to know him?” She said, putting an arm around the teen. He tensed slightly.
“What do I have to do?” He said hesitantly.
The woman smiled sweetly. She was surprisingly pretty.
“Just tell us everything he tells you…” She cooed softly.
Sai thought about it for a minute. “And what happens if I say no?”
The woman smirked.
“Won’t Mr. Uzumaki be disappointed…” she said softly, “I mean, the tragic suicide of his lover, and he just got back…”
Sai stopped short. “I’m not his lover…”
“Naruto doesn’t think that…he’s rather taken by you…”
Sai blinked down at his feet.
“I guess I really don’t have much of a choice, now do I?”
Konan patted his back. “There’s a good boy…” She said huskily. “I have a few friends at the Mai Wah down on Mercury street that will help you with anything you need…” She said, walking the rest of the length of the alley with her arm around him.
“Just tell them the Akatsuki sent you…but don’t say any of this to Mr. Uzumaki, or things will go bad for both of you…” She said, withdrawing her arm and turning to him.
“Watch your step, Oda, we’re everywhere…have a nice night…” She said sweetly as she walked away down the sidewalk.
