Midnight's Moon

Pairing: Sasu/Naru


A/N: So sorry for the late update. I kind of got stuck in a rut. Hopefully I’m out of it now. =)
Oh, yeah I kind of need a Beta reader because well…I suck at spelling and grammar! Whaaaa! I try my best honestly, but I just suck. I read it and reread 3 or four times to the point that I could tell you the story word for word without even reading it. Sorry, I was never good at spelling so if someones wants to do that for this story or for my other stories that would be great. =)

Midnight’s Moon

Chapter 8


“Sass’ke why did you pu’ a camp fire in myy room?”

A frown swept across the blond fox’s face. Sitting straight up the younger teen pointed accusingly at the Uchiha and yelled “And why didn’ ya bring marshmallows, I’m hungry!”

And just like that blue eyes rolled back up into his head and he passed out again.

**********************************************************************************

An elegant raven eyebrow was raised, then began to twitch.

Twitch,

Twitch,

Twitch!

“What the hell was that?!” the raven growled.

‘That wasn’t suppose to happen!’

The older teen was having mixed feelings on what just happened. On one hand he was saddened that he didn’t receive one of the blonde’s beautiful ‘just woke up’ smiles. On the other hand he was worried that something went wrong and ‘his’ blond fox was hurt. On the other, other hand the Uchiha was pissed at the blond.

‘What the hell kind of greeting was that! He not awake for 10 second and he already accusing me of something! And what the hell question is ‘why didn’ ya bring marshmallows?’

The raven took a deep calming breath and then decided he would do the logical thing and make sure the blond was okay.

Getting up the onyx-eyed teen walked around the fire and kneeled in front of the other.

First thing he noticed was the other seemed to be sweating quite profusely. That was strange considering he was shivering not 20 minutes ago. He hopped the other hadn’t caught a cold.

The raven placed his pale hand on the others forehand, but yanked it back when it was burned.

A hiss escaped his lips as he quickly examined his hand. There were small burn marks but it wasn’t a heat burn, it was a charka burn. Worried for his blond, onyx eyes bled red into the sharingan. He studied the charka and realized that the charka that had burned him was his own. The blonde’s charka seemed to be fluxuating, too. The raven sat back on the ground and studied the blond more. Taking a deep breath he calmed his worried mind so he could think clearly.

‘Okay, I don’t understand what is happening to him, but what do I know for certain?’

Thinking to himself he laid all the clues to this problem mentally in front of him.

‘Firstly, it’s my charka that burned me. It seems that the bracelet hasn’t absorbed it fully yet. A reason why this might happen is… it hasn’t finished gaining control. Naruto’s charka seems to be repelling my charka and the bracelet. The dobe is stubborn, but this bracelet was created to control even the strongest willed person. The bracelet shouldn’t have any trouble gaining control of him unless… unless that’s not the only thing it’s trying to control. It’s most likely trying to also subdue the Kyubi’s charka. Kuso! I hadn’t thought of that. The Kyubi’s is to great for this to control it. The only thing able to contain its power is the suffering blond before me. Why didn’t I think of this sooner!’

The raven reached for the bracelet in an attempt to remove it, but he was thrown backward against the cave wall by a wave of his own charka. Not one to quit so easy the Uchiha attempted to remove it again, but this time he braced himself so wouldn’t be thrown back. He grabbed it and tried to get it to detach, but a blood-curdling scream stopped him.

“Kuso! It has already begun to fuse with him. I can’t remove it until it’s done, but by then…”

The onyx teen didn’t want to finish that thought. He couldn’t bare losing to blond and especially not by his own hand.

“I’m so sorry Koi.” He whispered. ‘I don’t know what to do.’

A wave of sadness, regret and self-loathing flowed over him. He had hurt his precious person again and there was nothing he could do to fix it.

He watched his blond fox suffer. Guilt stabbing at his heart every time the younger would flinch or whimper in pain. Onyx eyes stared at his beloved as the blond continued to fight against the bracelet and his charka.

It was then that the Uchiha remembered something he hadn’t noticed when he put the bracelet on. It didn’t glow the right color. That lanky shop owner said it would glow red not blue. Does that mean it didn’t work right?

Hope filled the Uchiha and he inched closer to the blond again to study him.

‘My charka wasn’t at it’s highest point when I put the bracelet on him. That is why I passed out. The bracelet didn’t receive enough power, that’s the reason it can’t control Naruto’s charka. The Kyubi’s charka wouldn’t stop the bracelet from controlling Naruto, just from controlling the demon.’

The raven had an idea and hopped it would work. Leaning over the blond the raven started to push more charka into the bracelet.

‘If I add more charka into the bracelet I might be able to regain control of my charka already inside.’

A layer of sweat started to form on the raven’s brow. The blond was moaning louder from the pain.

“Shhh, it’s okay. Dobe, if you can hear me I need you to stop trying to force my charka out. I’m going to help you but you have to trust me.” The raven spoke in a soft, but strained voice. Hopefully adding the blonde’s nickname would increase the chance that the younger teen heard him.

The raven’s silent prayers were answered is the blond stopped fighting him and allowed the charka to enter.

The raven was panting from the force needed to push the charka through the bracelet. It was still difficult to do because the bracelet was trying to control the other charkas in the blond.

The raven’s sight began to get fuzzy from the stress and charka exhaustion his body was fighting, but he refused to stop until the blond was safe again.

After what seemed like hours the bracelet began to glow again, but this time it turned red like it was suppose to do. The raven was able to regain control of his charka, but knew that the bracelet was still going to try and control both Naruto’s and the Kyubi.

The Uchiha had to think of something before everything started all over again. He didn’t have enough charka to put into the bracelet to control the demon even if he fed it charka for the rest of his life. If he focused all the bracelet’s energy on Naruto the seal contain the demon might weaken and give the Kyubi more control. That was some thing he also couldn’t let happen. Who knows what damage was done to the seal because of his fluxuating foreign charka.

The blond started to whimper in pain again, which told the raven he was running out of time.

‘How do I fix this? I can’t control the demon and I can’t control Naruto because of the seal.’

That’s when it hit the Uchiha.

“I’ll control both.” He whispered to himself in realization.

Controlling his charka inside the blond he made the bracelet focus on two spots instead of one. By splitting up the bracelets control it makes it less powerful and less harmful.

The bracelet would control both Naruto and the seal, just not as strongly. Seal would control the demon and he would control the seal.

He would have hit himself for not thinking of it sooner, if it weren’t for the fact that he was manipulating charka inside ‘his’ blonde’s body.

The bracelet was still glowing red but then it started to dim, until it was back to normal.

The raven backed up and watched with his Sharingan as the last of his charka was absorbed into the bracelet. It was finally finished.

The blond was now lying peacefully asleep as if nothing had happened at all.

The raven sighed. ‘So much for fully controlling the blond.’ Although that fact didn’t bother him as much as he thought it would. For some reason having the blond fully under his control didn’t appeal to him. Actually the only reason he put the bracelet on the blond was so that he wouldn’t go back to Konoha.

Well the raven could probably still stop the blond from leaving but would take a lot of focus in controlling the other teen and maybe a few knocks over the head.

By splitting the bracelets power into two areas it meant that the seal would be strengthened and protected, but unfortunately the blond would be harder to control. The raven might be able to suppress the blonde’s charka a bit, but any hope of controlling the blonde’s mind, body or spirit was lost.

Oh well, the raven would have to think of another way to get the blonde’s tan backside in bed with him. He wasn’t a genius for nothing. Besides he could always use his back up plan. That would sure heat things up.

The onyx-eyed teen smirked to himself, before a wave of exhaustion hit him. He had used way too much charka and had many charka burns on his hands and arms. The raven lay down on the dirt cave floor beside the blond. He was even too tired to move into his sleeping bag.

As onyx-eyes slowly closed, as he gently pull the blond into his arms, careful not to further injure his own hands.

The raven buried his nose in golden locks and muttered sleepily. “Dobe. You’re a real pain in the ass.” And with that he was asleep.

Tan arms wrapped unconsciously around the other body and if you listened real hard you could hear a quiet. “Teme.”

Both teens lay wrapped in each as the night went on and the crackling fire dimmed.
