The Oath
I am a very, very, very bad kitty... This chapter is left at a very interesting part... because I dont want to make it too long. I am sorry... I did not include the whole thing... but it was that or keep it until next month so I could finish the looooong lemon and the Hokage trap... Thank you all for your patience and support. This month has not been easy for me and I appreciate your kind words a lot...nyah! On with the chapter...
Chapter 9: The Oath
“Naruto… Naruto! Wake up!” A weirdly muffled voice called his name insistently.
“Hn… go’way… lemme ’lone… mmmh, I’m tired.” He whined sleepily, burying his face into his hard pillow.
“Come on, wake up! There’s much to be done yet you keep on sleeping! Move it, Uzumaki!” the voice persisted and he opened resentful blue eyes to peer at his tormentor.
“I’ll be there on time… worry ‘bout yourself and lemme ‘lone!” he yawned, wondering sleepily why his body ached so much.
“You sure you are comfortable in that position?” Kakashi’s muffled voice held an intriguing mix of curiosity and amusement. That was enough to capture Naruto’s attention.
Opening his eyes, he allowed his awareness to return and was soon groaning with pain. His body was numb from the hips down. His back, legs and arms were suddenly cramping from the long held position.
“Damn it! Ahhh! Ahhh! It hurts!” he moaned as he curled in on himself.
“You shouldn’t be doing that, stand up and work the cramps away from your body.” The white haired Jounin counseled from his spot near his head.
“Easier said than done, damn it! It hurts! Aaahhh!!” he groaned in pain, massaging his spasmodic calves. Naruto's back felt on fire and he was sure his arms were going to fall off if he so much as dared to bend them back into their natural position. He wondered how he could have been so stupid to have fallen asleep like that!
‘Wait a minute, I don’t remember falling asleep? What the hell happened? Last I remember it was all woozy… and there was an earthquake… no… I fainted? What the fuck?’ he frowned unwilling and unable to analyze the situation in his current pained state.
“Maybe I should have let you sleep until you decided to wake up by yourself… ne Naruto? Only thing would have been gangrene setting in by then.” His sensei lifted a limp arm and dutifully returned it to its former position, making Naruto gasp and arch off the sofa, barely able to supress a gasp of pain.
“God damn it! Fuck! You did that on purpose, sensei!” he grumbled like a wounded beast, nursing his leaden limbs while the circulation was restored inside them. Tiny pinpricks tormented his body mercilessly and he moaned louder.
“How’s it possible? I haven’t done anything wrong… oh and by the way, stop moaning like that. Your saintly neighbors’ll think you’re bumping uglies with me, you know.” He teased, eyeing Naruto’s pink face with interest.
“And that would shot your reputation to hell, right? You pervert!” Naruto lashed sarcastically, massaging sensation back into his thighs.
‘He has certainly matured nicely. Who would have thought! He reminds me of somebody.’ He thought distractedly as his heartbeat sped up. 'Come on Kakashi... If Iruka was able to get a glimpse inside your head you would not be breathing right now. Stop it! Think happy thoughts if you want to keep your lover and your dick in one piece.' he grimaced.
“It’s more a matter of keeping my head attached to my shoulders. You don’t know how jealous Iruka gets when you are involved. I’d rather keep the family jewels, if it’s the same to you. My dolphin would be rather upset if I wasn’t around to sink my teeth into his-”
“Kakashi! Shut up!” Naruto bellowed, blushing madly.
“…cooking because you know he loves to cook! Gosh, Naruto! Bedding Sasuke has really turned you into a pervert!” he finished with feigned astonishment. Naruto gaped like a fish as his face turned an interesting shade of mauve.
‘Hatake, one, Naruto, zero. It’s looking bad for the home boys. Good job, Kakashi!’ he thought with a cynical smile.
“You know?” he asked with disbelief.
“He told me.” He replied simply, his eyes curving comically.
“He told you?” Naruto deadpanned, disbelief clearly written in his face.
‘It never occurred to him to deny it? Fascinating! Maybe it’s not a one-sided thing as I first thought… good choice, Naruto.’ He grinned approvingly, thinking how fast kids grew these days.
“So, you better start packing soon! We are going to be out for a long time so do it carefully, ok? Don’t just pack ramen, like the last time. Remember to take the essentials! You know, things like a bed-roll, condoms, matches, lube, and soap… butt plugs.” Kakashi listed dutifully. Knowing Naruto was an old hand at packing for missions didn’t mean he couldn’t tease him into frenzy. And the ramen incident was always a good place to start. Simply put, Kakashi couldn’t help himself.
“Condoms? Lube? Butt plugs? Kakashi! What the heck are you talking about?!” Naruto screeched red-faced, backpedaling on the sofa until he fell to the floor with a thud. Not taking his eyes off Kakashi’s scrawny figure, he dragged himself even farther away, pain and numbness forgotten in his haste to put space between them.
“For the record, the ramen thing happened on my first genin mission. I was 12 for chrissake!” he protested nervously, looking everywhere but at his ex-sensei. The ramen incident was still a source of nightmares inside his brain.
“Sure, Naruto. And when you’re done packing, get your ass right off to Tsunade’s. All this talk of your not being healthy enough to go on a mission got her knickers on a twist. She wants to confirm or deny the truth of Sasuke’s report with her own hands.” He snickered, shoving his hands inside his pockets while counting under his breath. Soon enough, Naruto yelped, scrambling back inside the room as soon as he understood Kakashi’s message. Holding onto the threshold, he waited a second to gather his breath. Kakashi’s eyes tightened.
“Tsunade-baba wants to do what? Man! I am fine! I told her! She shouldn’t worry about me… she knows I will be able to perform just fine… Damn it!” he was beside himself with worry, tanned hands unconsciously rubbing his neck.
Kakashi’s elegant brows drew into a line as his mind registered that contrary to popular belief, Naruto was more than aware he was not completely fine and was slowly driving himself up the wall.
“If you are really sick, you shouldn’t go on a mission, Naruto.” His tone was soft enough to be considered comforting, but both knew Kakashi was not one to take foolish risks. Naruto tensed and approached warily, a nervous smile curving his lush lips.
“Not you too! Come on, you are not one to worry about that. I am fine! I swear! I just…” he held his breath waiting for the magic words to come and deliver him from this whole mess. Deafening silence met his ears as minutes sped by, waiting. When Naruto finally realized none were forthcoming, he expelled his breath noisily.
“Ok. So, I am not completely fine, I know. Still… I want to go on this mission. This time it’s really important, Kakashi! You heard her! I swear I won’t be a liability for you! Why can’t those check ups wait for my return?” he pouted with a frown, crossing his arms.
“Maybe it’s because we are worried about your well-being now! We need to know we’re not risking you by letting you go on this mission.” Kakashi replied, seriousness taking over the vacuous grin he’d sported until now. “Naruto, there’s more people concerned about you than you realize. Even if you don’t give a damn about yourself, you owe them to take care of yourself.”
‘Iruka, where are you when I need you? I’m no good at this.’ He thought helplessly, watching confusion and pride war over his ex student’s face. A dubious gleam filled Naruto’s eyes.
“Are you sure this is what others feel and not a perverted attempt at my virtue?” he asked coyly. Kakashi chuckled.
“No way! I mean, you’ve matured nicely and all but just thinking about doing you chills me to the very core. Not because I despise you or anything, but having Iruka and Sasuke breathing down my neck is not a happy thought.” He ended ruefully while Naruto sputtered. Turning on his tail, he gestured wildly and ran towards the kitchen.
‘Hatake 2, Naruto 0. Home run!’ he grinned evilly under his mask. These were the times when wearing a half mask came in really handy. He loved to tease this blonde gaki so much! But now was not the time to tease. Following the blonde, he found him going about preparing his breakfast.
“Go away, you perverted nin! I’m not talking to you anymore, you hear?” The flustered blonde was busy filling a pot with tap water.
Muttering under his breath, he cut the water supply and slapped the half-full recipient on the stove, water sloshing over. His jerky motions and cutting words were only acknowledged by a lazy lift of a curved brow as Kakashi leaned against the wall.
Livid, Naruto stretched a bit over the stovetop, snatching the matches sitting on the shelf with nerveless hands. The half-open box fell to the floor with a resounding thwack, sending matches every which way.
“Stupid box, damn it! Now the damned matches’re strewn all over the stupid floor.” Cursing under his breath, he quickly swooped down to retrieve it. Straightening up, the matches once again left his hands as his body slumped forward in a dead faint. It was only due to Kakashi’s reflexes that allowed him to capture the blond before his nose hit the hardwood floor.
“Naruto! Naruto!” He called anxiously, shaking the man in his arms urgently; the paleness of his student mirroring his own. Dazed blue eyes blinked in confusion as a tanned hand grabbed hold of his twirling head.
“Kashi-sen..sei?” he whispered softly, his warm breath fanning over Kakashi’s skin, causing goosebumps to break over his skin.
‘Now is not the time, pervert! Stop that!’ Kakashi scolded himself viciously tamping down his body’s reaction as he guided the weak blonde into a nearby chair.
“Is everything ok? Is this what Sasuke meant when he said you’re not completely well? Naruto, you can’t go on a mission like this! I’m sorry, but I must talk immediately to Tsunade and tell her you’re not able to go on this mission!” Kakashi straightened after making sure Naruto was not going to faint anytime soon. He went to the kitchen and brought him a cold glass of milk and waited until he drank it all before turning around to leave. A tanned hand snaked around his wrist and suddenly he was flat on his back, facing the ceiling.
‘What the hell?’ his eye widened, trying to understand what had happened. The blond man was straddling his chest, pushing bony knees and fingers into pressure points that rendered his arms and legs useless.
“Naruto?” he faltered, wary of the sudden attack.
“You are not going anywhere! You are not telling anybody anything! Stop this nonsense at once, Hatake-san!” flashing red eyes loomed over him as Naruto held him pinned to the floor with just one hand as the other rummaged for hidden weapons.
“What you just saw has many explanations. For starters, yesterday’s meeting was extremely unsettling for me. I haven’t slept well in ages; I was tired last night and slept in a very uncomfortable position. Probably, the fact you were picking on me so early in the morning plus the sudden forward movement made me dizzy for a moment! That could happen to anybody, not just me! Maybe I have low blood pressure and nobody’s ever realized… that would be a reason for the dizziness and stuff. Don’t just go dishing out stupid nonsense to Tsunade-baba!” he barked savagely into his face, foaming spittle falling everywhere.
“Fine…” Kakashi nodded hesitantly, knowing Naruto’s unstable emotions were responsible for this outburst. He would die a painful death before admitting that at times like this, Naruto scared him. Flaming, half-closed eyes studied him closely, deciding for themselves if Kakashi was lying or not. Nodding, he stood up and let him go. The Jounin massaged feeling into his numb limbs as he watched his ex-student and Konoha’s most powerful nin pace the kitchen like a caged beast.
“You may not understand this, Kakashi. You may not agree. I don’t care. I am going in that mission if it kills me, even if I have to go against both you and Tsunade to accomplish my mission. You can even send a complete ANBU squad after me and still I won’t be deterred. Understand? Konoha needs me, Kakashi. Me! Uzumaki Naruto: the Jinchuuriki, the cursed child nobody wanted, the lonely kid everybody spurned, the dobe genin nobody thought would amount to much with his poor chakra control, the mediocre student you ignored for the genius, sensei. They want me, Kakashi and not even Kami itself will be able to stop me from going!” his fists curled tightly, the pain of his clawed fingernails helping to clear his head.
‘Damn it!’ Kakashi closed his eyes with regret, utterly ashamed of his choices so many years ago. ‘If I’d known, If only I had known…’
“Naruto… let me explain… It’s not that you were…” he started with a painful breath.
“Save it for the birds or those who still care, sensei. I stopped thinking about it ages ago. It doesn’t matter anyway, ne? As it is, I am powerful enough on my own. What I am is a direct result of my effort, born from my sweat, blood and tears.” He smiled without rancor, flexing his arms. “The best part? I don’t owe you, or Kyuubi, or Yondaime or anybody else for it.” He shrugged lightly, turning around to face his worn kitchen table. Leaning heavily against it, he waited for the verdict that would surely damn his soul to all hell. For he was not staying even if threatened with prison. With a resigned sigh, he stared out of the window watching the blue skies outside.
“Most of you will never understand this side of me: you’d have to be reborn as a Jinchuuriki. I didn’t ask to be made into one. That was fate. I didn’t ask to be cursed and punished for the things the demon hosted inside me did. That was human nature. I didn’t expect to be needed by those who despise me. That’s karma. Weird sort of justice, don’t you think? Being forced to request help from the one you hate must be truly painful but I can’t turn a deaf ear on this village. I could return what they’ve given me and nobody would blame me, but that would go against my nature. I’ve been called a monster most of my life but if I turn against Konoha, I will truly become one. I promised myself to help those in need, regardless. That is my nindo, Kakashi.” He looked over his shoulder with a sardonic smile on his lips. Kakashi shivered at the coldness reflected in that gesture but thankfully there was no hate either.
‘Naruto, I never thought… I never knew…’ Kakashi stared incredulously at the wealth of feeling Konoha provoked in Naruto. This was the real reason behind his emotional instability. ‘It’s always us, damn it!’
“I will not ask for forgiveness. This is not the time to do so. I will only beg, on my knees if necessary, don’t keep me from going, Kakashi.” He murmured, his bloody nails scoring the wood as he waited tensely.
Kakashi sighed, closing his eyes. He wondered what would be the best course of action. Every time he thought how far he’d gotten without his help he was overwhelmed with equal amounts of awe and remorse. It was the blonde’s stubbornly dedicated personality what’d gained him powerful allies not his rather inefficient intervention. All teachers and benefactors were Top Ninjas but it was in no way related to his effort as a teacher that Naruto’s full potential was attained. He was guilty of both underestimating and restricting Naruto’s latent abilities and he knew it. He was worried about his wellbeing, but it seemed Naruto himself was not. Still, it would be bad judgment on his part if he didn’t stop the blonde from going on this mission. As a leader it was his responsibility to vouch for each man under him.
‘It’s the right thing to do and nobody would blame me. Naruto is obviously unwell and a mission of this magnitude could spell death for him if we encounter enemies along the way. Still, stopping him when he is so close to attaining his life-long goal of gaining Konohagakure’s recognition would be outright cruel. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t, Kakashi. Think! I could order him to stay but then I’d have to deal with the consequences of a dead or seriously wounded and fugitive Naruto hot on our trail or take him with us and risk his death at the hands of our enemies if we’re attacked. I could always throw him in jail until we come back… but that would mean having the Uchiha, Iruka, Nara, Sabaku and Hyuuga just to mention a few, breathing down my neck. What would Iruka do?’ He bit his lip, thinking hard on his options. After a while he nodded, reaching a satisfying conclusion deep inside his heart.
“Heed my words, Naruto. You must swear to me on your nindo… no, better yet. I will have your word, no, your most solemn oath as future Rokudaime that you will obey my every command without hesitation.” He began and immediately confirmed the rightness of his choice when the blonde tensed and nodded, his shaking shoulders preceding twin droplets of water plinking on the table under his hands.
“You may be strong enough to overpower me now but the moment you are tired or dizzy you must give me a signal to stop. You must not push yourself and above all, you will not engage in conflict at any time or you will return to Konoha summarily. Also, any other sign that your illness is worsening will have you hauling your ass back home for a check up with Sasuke in tow. Do we have a deal?” he asked with a wide smile. Cocking his head, he studied the tense lines of the blonde’s posture through half-closed lids. An older image superimposed itself over Naruto’s silhouette, startling him in its accuracy. A lone eye widened incredulously as his breath escaped his lungs.
‘Gods! Why didn’t I see it before?’ he asked himself softly as understanding clicked inside his brain. His heart beat madly against his ribs, willing to believe the unbelievable. Taking a deep calming breath, he shifted in his feet.
‘There’s still time for that Kakashi. Relax.’ Knowing the blonde had still not processed he was being given a chance to go. His lips twisted wryly inside his mask. Another nod and he cleared his throat.
“I’d better get going then. Pack your stuff and see Tsunade at 3:50pm on the dot. She never specified the time and we leave at 4pm.” He stated lightly. Naruto’s head twisted as his heart beat madly inside his chest. It was impossible! Kakashi was giving him a chance to go!
‘He’s letting me go? All right!’ he screamed inside his head holding onto the table to control the rush of adrenaline that swamped his already overwhelmed senses. His arms trembled where they held onto the table and he let his head fall forward with relief. He was allowed to go.
“Oh, and Naruto?” The white-haired Jounin drawled lightly, “Make sure to include healthy rations, vitamins and whatnot. You may say you feel fine but you are still too thin. We have to get some meat on those bones to calm Sasuke’s fears, ok?” he grinned impudently, making sure to be as far as possible from the impulsive blonde.
Once he stood on the living room, he turned to call the blonde’s attention.
“By the way, here is my first order.” The silent blonde straightened and turned slightly with a confused frown on his face; a myriad questions pooling in his blue eyes yet willing to do as ordered. He nodded happily.
“Uzumaki Naruto, I am officially ordering you to make sure to give Uchiha Sasuke a good, hard fuck before we leave. I don’t want to deal with a grumpy, tense Uchiha on the way to Marsh and what better way to relax than sex? I’m warning you! I’d better see a smirk on his face and a dark blush in yours by the time we leave this afternoon, ok? Icha! Icha! Naruto-kun and don’t scare the birds.” he teased with a lewd waggle of his eyebrows. Stunned comprehension dawned on sapphire orbs halfway through Kakashi’s monologue.
“I’m gonna kill you, Kakashi!” he roared, charging with murderous intent. Too late did he see Kakashi finish performing the familiar hand signs necessary for teleportation and he screamed with frustrated rage.
“Kakashi 3, Uzumaki 0. It’s a hit!” he taunted, vanishing into thin air. With an impotent growl, Naruto watched his arms close around the empty space recently vacated by his sensei. Catching his stumbling feet before he keeled head over heels, he cursed fluently as he turned to continue packing.
At the same time on the Uchiha side of the city, dust motes danced slowly around beams of light inside the house as the last Uchiha worked. The sharp metallic clang of weapons thrown together rose in the air. A tired looking man gave the leather tong of his pack a hard yank.
‘There, I’m finally done. Now, it’s time for some tea.’ His hand patted the heavy pack, and he straightened once more thinking of his lover. Unable to sleep, he’d left their futon at dawn to start packing. It was either leave to pack or stay to brood.
Now, many hours later, he surveyed his handiwork with pride before moving towards the kitchen to wait for the water he’d set to boil 15 min. earlier. He’d packed enough to tide him over until they reached Marsh Country, going so far as to include little snacks for his dobe to nibble on if they ever made up.
‘Even if we don’t, these are for him. I’ll have Kakashi deliver them if necessary and he proves to be as stubborn as I know him to be.’ The teapot’s high pitched whistle interrupted his dark musings. With a deep sigh, he removed the screaming teapot from the stove using one of his Uchiha-bearing towels that Naruto had so teased him about and set it on the counter. Scooping his favorite blend of shredded tea leaves inside the small-wire cage; he dunked it inside the boiling water and let it steep. The domesticity of the image disturbed him somehow, something was missing.
‘You mean, somebody is missing, you imbecile.’ He frowned at the scathing retort, wondering if he’d been wrong to try and stop Naruto from going on their mission. Shaking his head, he reminded himself of the reasons why he was against it in the first place. Setting his cup aside, he searched for the sugar cubes while he waited. He liked his tea like he did his men: strong and sweet with a dash of spice. An image of his dobe as he was last night flashed before his eyes.
‘It’s not like you are doing it out of spite, idiot! You are a controlling bastard, true. Then again, Uchiha’s are an extremely possessive lot. It could have been worse… Remember the old wives tales about the male Uchiha’s overbearing protectiveness when their mate is with child? Thank God Naruto’s male!’ He chuckled, rejoicing in the memory of his lover’s tight abs and buns. His body hardened in response.
Sasuke frowned, pouring his tea carefully and stirring in the sugar. The cubes dissolved easily in the revolving heat as he pondered his options. He knew he would not get the time for these things in a long time if at all.
Missions like this usually meant little or no sleep, a grueling pace and Spartan commodities. He would count himself lucky if they got access to fresh drinking water once or twice before reaching Marsh Country. Sasuke finished his tea and delivered his empty cup back into the sink, his mood darkening by the second as he washed his dishes.
Not having Naruto around had certain valuable perks like silence and tidiness but it definitively wasn’t worth the pain it caused him. His body missed him, his mind missed him, damn it! Even his house missed his lighthearted bantering. He cursed under his breath.
‘How the hell am I gonna be able to perform effectively on this mission if just thinking about Naruto makes me this hard, huh? Whose was the marvelous idea to piss off the blonde? Damn it, Uchiha! Your brilliant plan just left us without a lover at the beginning of a long mission. I hope you are happy with the outcome.’ He spat, stepping down the hallway.
On the way to his hot bath, he detoured into what he had dubbed ‘their’ room where he had nursed Naruto back to health and where their relationship had officially started. Avoiding the empty futon, he picked up his bath necessities before continuing on his way. The morning sun was high enough to melt the morning frost but it did nothing to take the chill off the air. He shivered, thinking of the big warm bath waiting for him.
‘If only Naruto were here. I heated enough water for both of us, hoping to make up today. It figures he would play hard to get.’ He slid the door open and steam rose in sheets from the room. He closed his eyes, relishing the steamy heat after the cold morning air. Stepping inside the Uchiha’s communal bath, he closed the door quickly. It would not do to lose precious heat thinking of his missing lover. This time he was not going to beg.
‘If he can’t understand my worry, then he is welcome to sulk all he wants.’ His worried expression belied the fierceness of his words. A firm tug on his obi allowed his yukata to part, exposing his pale skin to the humid air. Wrapping a towel around a thin waist for modesty’s sake, he proceeded to wash his body thoroughly. It would have to tie him over until he was able to cleanse himself again. Uchiha’s were also very fastidious about their personal hygiene.
‘This makes it an even greater wonder that you managed to fall in love with Naruto ‘Big Mess’ Uzumaki, Uchiha.’ He thought with a light chuckle. He closed his eyes, thinking of the last time he’d seen Naruto naked. He moaned softly, thinking on the way the cold water caressed his lover’s body. He’d gone to the well house to draw water for the big bath when he’d stumbled on his lover taking a bath last night. There was something innocently erotic on the way his dobe cleansed his body.
‘I was really looking forward to taking a bath with my dobe after last night’s teaser. Shame…’ he sighed again. Eyeing his raging erection with dubious eyes, he soaped his hand purposefully.
“Naruto is not here and I don’t think he will be coming anywhere near me anytime soon, so let’s deal with this problem now.” He counseled himself logically. Still his hands rested on his thigh unwilling to do his bidding. “Oh, come on, Uchiha! It’s not like you were a virgin before Naruto. This isn’t your first time!”
“And here I thought I was your first… There goes a dream!” a familiarly light voice drawled behind him and he whirled, crouching into a combat stance. “If it wasn’t for my legendary healing abilities, I’d have been shattered by such news! The Uchiha’s not a virgin!”
“Naruto!” threatened as red circling eyes activated immediately, searching for the familiar chakra that was somehow masked by the steam surrounding him. His instincts told him it was his lover, but one could never be too sure given the situation at hand. “Show yourself!” he barked an order that brooked no arguments.
“Tsk, tsk… always so bossy! Tell me, Teme… is that part of the job description for an Uchiha?” he asked lazily. “And pray tell, what were you intending with that crouch? I can see the only pointy thing you have on you is not made out of iron. You pervert!” a chuckle teased his awareness and he whirled, searching.
“Dobe!” he warned and warm hands wrapped themselves around his chest from behind. A silent gasp escaped his lips as his senses registered the familiar chakra of Naruto stuck behind him. That and the fact his lover was as naked as he. Turning around, he growled. “Usuratonkatchi!”
“I know, I missed you too… but I had to do some packing, you know.” Naruto teased with a lusty chuckle.
“What do you think you are doing?” Sasuke grounded around his mashed teeth. It would not do to show his lover any weakness until their problem was solved.
“Making love, what else? Now, shall we?” he asked officiously while his fingers divested him of his only covering.
“Naruto!” Sasuke squeaked, while his hands rose to still the roaming hands that quickly charted his body. Blushing with annoyance as he realized he was acting like a schoolgirl instead of the seasoned nin he knew himself to be, he struggled to free himself.
“Gods! Is it too much to request a good fuck without having to go over the whole thing right now?” Naruto asked testily, wrapping his fingers around Sasuke’s heated erection. The Uchiha tightened his eyes, hissing with need. His lover’s talented fingers danced mercilessly over already inflamed nerves.
“Naruto… we… must… talk…” gathering the last shreds of his control together, the Uchiha insisted stubbornly. They had to talk about this before they left for the mission. It was too important to let something like sex and desire win him over.
“You want your pound of flesh, ne? Fine, how about this? Yes, Sasuke, I want a piece of this here to calm my edginess. I am scared of failing the mission. Yes, koi you hurt me with your words. Even though I know you did it because you were worried I felt betrayed. Kakashi came to visit saying Tsunade wanted to see me later today. Never fear, Teme. Kakashi ordered me to be late. We have a deal, you see. He knows I’m not completely recovered but I’m still going because I’m needed. I’ve to obey him at all times no questions asked and eat like a horse. Does that cover it?” he asked pointedly, flexing his fingers around his lover’s cock.
“No, I mean…” Sasuke tried to turn to look into his lover’s sapphire eyes. Steely hands tightened around him.
“Too bad. I want you. Now.” He whispered heatedly against the delicate earlobe, his warm lips brushing teasingly against the raven’s sensitive flesh. It was all he could do to repress the shudder of need that stole down his spine.
‘Naruto’ his mind breathed with relief.
“You were saying?” he replied lifting an eyebrow.
“Huh? I didn’t… Naruto!” he gasped as his lover’s talented tongue and teeth wrapped around his earlobe drawing it inside his mouth. Biting his lip to drown the surprised whimper that struggled to leave his chest, he fought to free himself. An amused grunt and his dobe’s hands tightened around his raging hard on.
“Planning on going somewhere, Teme?” the uncharacteristically assertive blonde drawled teasingly into his ear crowding his lover against the wall. Pushing a knee between his lover’s legs, he spread his thighs apart. Sasuke stood still, his heart pounding against his chest as he waited for his voluble lover, unsure of what his next actions should be. A warm hand curled around his hips, tilting him up and away from the wall, spreading his butt cheeks wide apart.
“Naruto!” he gasped with surprise and his lover purred his approval. Sasuke’s skin felt tight and tingly as he waited. Unfamiliar sensations flared through his groin as his tender butt was teased with a hot, wet rod.
Closing his eyes to repress another shudder he bit his lip. Pleasure skated down his spine and spread over his back like a blooming flower. Unconsciously, he pushed back against the prodding head, uncaring of the stinging sensation his tightly contracted sphincter delivered every time. Hissing with misgivings, he held himself still. It was not that he didn’t want Naruto to take him, but just before a mission? No way!
“Oh, so you are not completely against this, are you? How adventurous of you, Teme!” Naruto murmured approvingly and he licked the tempting nape under his mouth. Licking and kissing a hot trail down Sasuke’s spine, he murmured little nothings to take his lover mind away from his actions as he kneeled.
‘Finally, I get to see a normal one…’ he thought as he eyed the tight, pink rosette that was Sasuke’s body entrance. Sasuke’s head twisted incredulously as he felt his lover’s breath on that exposed area of his body.
“Don’t you dare, Dobe! Don’t you fucking dare!” He growled nervously, too late in realizing he was doing nothing to escape his lover’s evil intentions. Naruto’s hands on his buttocks served to both pin him into place and spread his buttocks apart.
“You are going nowhere, my dear Uchiha. Stay still and close your eyes if you want… you owe me.” Naruto whispered, his face flushed as he finally gave in to his impulses. His tongue lapped hesitantly at the twitching bundle, purring with approval as the muscle tightened and quivered under his attention. Licking around the place, he grinned perversely, loving Sasuke’s surprised mewls of pleasure.
“You like! You pervert!” he teased lightly, knowing his bastard wouldn’t resist lashing at him.
“Damn it Naruto! Stop doing th… oh gods! Oh gods! Fuck, Naruto!” his voice turned darker as his lover licked and nibbled on his previously unexplored anus.
Naruto smiled, his tongue deeply embedded inside his lover’s body. Stiffening his tongue, he penetrated his tight, hot body repeatedly before relaxing it deep inside and lapping at the quivering flesh he could touch there.
Sasuke’s flesh softened as his ministrations continued, his lover’s knees trembled with the strain of holding him up. Taking it out, he maneuvered his lover into the floor and into a kneeling position.
“Tasty Sasuke…“ He whispered with a grin. His lover’s remained silent and he snickered. He wouldn’t stay that way for long or his name was not Naruto. Spreading apart his buttocks once more, he spat on the relaxed sphincter he could see gaping and proceeded to spread his saliva before dipping a finger inside. His raven stiffened slightly, pushing back greedily. Even if his mouth refused to talk, his body was speaking volumes making him smile.
‘Tsk, we’ll see…‘ He grinned licking his lips.

Evil cliffie from hell...
Chapter 9: The Oath
“Naruto… Naruto! Wake up!” A weirdly muffled voice called his name insistently.
“Hn… go’way… lemme ’lone… mmmh, I’m tired.” He whined sleepily, burying his face into his hard pillow.
“Come on, wake up! There’s much to be done yet you keep on sleeping! Move it, Uzumaki!” the voice persisted and he opened resentful blue eyes to peer at his tormentor.
“I’ll be there on time… worry ‘bout yourself and lemme ‘lone!” he yawned, wondering sleepily why his body ached so much.
“You sure you are comfortable in that position?” Kakashi’s muffled voice held an intriguing mix of curiosity and amusement. That was enough to capture Naruto’s attention.
Opening his eyes, he allowed his awareness to return and was soon groaning with pain. His body was numb from the hips down. His back, legs and arms were suddenly cramping from the long held position.
“Damn it! Ahhh! Ahhh! It hurts!” he moaned as he curled in on himself.
“You shouldn’t be doing that, stand up and work the cramps away from your body.” The white haired Jounin counseled from his spot near his head.
“Easier said than done, damn it! It hurts! Aaahhh!!” he groaned in pain, massaging his spasmodic calves. Naruto's back felt on fire and he was sure his arms were going to fall off if he so much as dared to bend them back into their natural position. He wondered how he could have been so stupid to have fallen asleep like that!
‘Wait a minute, I don’t remember falling asleep? What the hell happened? Last I remember it was all woozy… and there was an earthquake… no… I fainted? What the fuck?’ he frowned unwilling and unable to analyze the situation in his current pained state.
“Maybe I should have let you sleep until you decided to wake up by yourself… ne Naruto? Only thing would have been gangrene setting in by then.” His sensei lifted a limp arm and dutifully returned it to its former position, making Naruto gasp and arch off the sofa, barely able to supress a gasp of pain.
“God damn it! Fuck! You did that on purpose, sensei!” he grumbled like a wounded beast, nursing his leaden limbs while the circulation was restored inside them. Tiny pinpricks tormented his body mercilessly and he moaned louder.
“How’s it possible? I haven’t done anything wrong… oh and by the way, stop moaning like that. Your saintly neighbors’ll think you’re bumping uglies with me, you know.” He teased, eyeing Naruto’s pink face with interest.
“And that would shot your reputation to hell, right? You pervert!” Naruto lashed sarcastically, massaging sensation back into his thighs.
‘He has certainly matured nicely. Who would have thought! He reminds me of somebody.’ He thought distractedly as his heartbeat sped up. 'Come on Kakashi... If Iruka was able to get a glimpse inside your head you would not be breathing right now. Stop it! Think happy thoughts if you want to keep your lover and your dick in one piece.' he grimaced.
“It’s more a matter of keeping my head attached to my shoulders. You don’t know how jealous Iruka gets when you are involved. I’d rather keep the family jewels, if it’s the same to you. My dolphin would be rather upset if I wasn’t around to sink my teeth into his-”
“Kakashi! Shut up!” Naruto bellowed, blushing madly.
“…cooking because you know he loves to cook! Gosh, Naruto! Bedding Sasuke has really turned you into a pervert!” he finished with feigned astonishment. Naruto gaped like a fish as his face turned an interesting shade of mauve.
‘Hatake, one, Naruto, zero. It’s looking bad for the home boys. Good job, Kakashi!’ he thought with a cynical smile.
“You know?” he asked with disbelief.
“He told me.” He replied simply, his eyes curving comically.
“He told you?” Naruto deadpanned, disbelief clearly written in his face.
‘It never occurred to him to deny it? Fascinating! Maybe it’s not a one-sided thing as I first thought… good choice, Naruto.’ He grinned approvingly, thinking how fast kids grew these days.
“So, you better start packing soon! We are going to be out for a long time so do it carefully, ok? Don’t just pack ramen, like the last time. Remember to take the essentials! You know, things like a bed-roll, condoms, matches, lube, and soap… butt plugs.” Kakashi listed dutifully. Knowing Naruto was an old hand at packing for missions didn’t mean he couldn’t tease him into frenzy. And the ramen incident was always a good place to start. Simply put, Kakashi couldn’t help himself.
“Condoms? Lube? Butt plugs? Kakashi! What the heck are you talking about?!” Naruto screeched red-faced, backpedaling on the sofa until he fell to the floor with a thud. Not taking his eyes off Kakashi’s scrawny figure, he dragged himself even farther away, pain and numbness forgotten in his haste to put space between them.
“For the record, the ramen thing happened on my first genin mission. I was 12 for chrissake!” he protested nervously, looking everywhere but at his ex-sensei. The ramen incident was still a source of nightmares inside his brain.
“Sure, Naruto. And when you’re done packing, get your ass right off to Tsunade’s. All this talk of your not being healthy enough to go on a mission got her knickers on a twist. She wants to confirm or deny the truth of Sasuke’s report with her own hands.” He snickered, shoving his hands inside his pockets while counting under his breath. Soon enough, Naruto yelped, scrambling back inside the room as soon as he understood Kakashi’s message. Holding onto the threshold, he waited a second to gather his breath. Kakashi’s eyes tightened.
“Tsunade-baba wants to do what? Man! I am fine! I told her! She shouldn’t worry about me… she knows I will be able to perform just fine… Damn it!” he was beside himself with worry, tanned hands unconsciously rubbing his neck.
Kakashi’s elegant brows drew into a line as his mind registered that contrary to popular belief, Naruto was more than aware he was not completely fine and was slowly driving himself up the wall.
“If you are really sick, you shouldn’t go on a mission, Naruto.” His tone was soft enough to be considered comforting, but both knew Kakashi was not one to take foolish risks. Naruto tensed and approached warily, a nervous smile curving his lush lips.
“Not you too! Come on, you are not one to worry about that. I am fine! I swear! I just…” he held his breath waiting for the magic words to come and deliver him from this whole mess. Deafening silence met his ears as minutes sped by, waiting. When Naruto finally realized none were forthcoming, he expelled his breath noisily.
“Ok. So, I am not completely fine, I know. Still… I want to go on this mission. This time it’s really important, Kakashi! You heard her! I swear I won’t be a liability for you! Why can’t those check ups wait for my return?” he pouted with a frown, crossing his arms.
“Maybe it’s because we are worried about your well-being now! We need to know we’re not risking you by letting you go on this mission.” Kakashi replied, seriousness taking over the vacuous grin he’d sported until now. “Naruto, there’s more people concerned about you than you realize. Even if you don’t give a damn about yourself, you owe them to take care of yourself.”
‘Iruka, where are you when I need you? I’m no good at this.’ He thought helplessly, watching confusion and pride war over his ex student’s face. A dubious gleam filled Naruto’s eyes.
“Are you sure this is what others feel and not a perverted attempt at my virtue?” he asked coyly. Kakashi chuckled.
“No way! I mean, you’ve matured nicely and all but just thinking about doing you chills me to the very core. Not because I despise you or anything, but having Iruka and Sasuke breathing down my neck is not a happy thought.” He ended ruefully while Naruto sputtered. Turning on his tail, he gestured wildly and ran towards the kitchen.
‘Hatake 2, Naruto 0. Home run!’ he grinned evilly under his mask. These were the times when wearing a half mask came in really handy. He loved to tease this blonde gaki so much! But now was not the time to tease. Following the blonde, he found him going about preparing his breakfast.
“Go away, you perverted nin! I’m not talking to you anymore, you hear?” The flustered blonde was busy filling a pot with tap water.
Muttering under his breath, he cut the water supply and slapped the half-full recipient on the stove, water sloshing over. His jerky motions and cutting words were only acknowledged by a lazy lift of a curved brow as Kakashi leaned against the wall.
Livid, Naruto stretched a bit over the stovetop, snatching the matches sitting on the shelf with nerveless hands. The half-open box fell to the floor with a resounding thwack, sending matches every which way.
“Stupid box, damn it! Now the damned matches’re strewn all over the stupid floor.” Cursing under his breath, he quickly swooped down to retrieve it. Straightening up, the matches once again left his hands as his body slumped forward in a dead faint. It was only due to Kakashi’s reflexes that allowed him to capture the blond before his nose hit the hardwood floor.
“Naruto! Naruto!” He called anxiously, shaking the man in his arms urgently; the paleness of his student mirroring his own. Dazed blue eyes blinked in confusion as a tanned hand grabbed hold of his twirling head.
“Kashi-sen..sei?” he whispered softly, his warm breath fanning over Kakashi’s skin, causing goosebumps to break over his skin.
‘Now is not the time, pervert! Stop that!’ Kakashi scolded himself viciously tamping down his body’s reaction as he guided the weak blonde into a nearby chair.
“Is everything ok? Is this what Sasuke meant when he said you’re not completely well? Naruto, you can’t go on a mission like this! I’m sorry, but I must talk immediately to Tsunade and tell her you’re not able to go on this mission!” Kakashi straightened after making sure Naruto was not going to faint anytime soon. He went to the kitchen and brought him a cold glass of milk and waited until he drank it all before turning around to leave. A tanned hand snaked around his wrist and suddenly he was flat on his back, facing the ceiling.
‘What the hell?’ his eye widened, trying to understand what had happened. The blond man was straddling his chest, pushing bony knees and fingers into pressure points that rendered his arms and legs useless.
“Naruto?” he faltered, wary of the sudden attack.
“You are not going anywhere! You are not telling anybody anything! Stop this nonsense at once, Hatake-san!” flashing red eyes loomed over him as Naruto held him pinned to the floor with just one hand as the other rummaged for hidden weapons.
“What you just saw has many explanations. For starters, yesterday’s meeting was extremely unsettling for me. I haven’t slept well in ages; I was tired last night and slept in a very uncomfortable position. Probably, the fact you were picking on me so early in the morning plus the sudden forward movement made me dizzy for a moment! That could happen to anybody, not just me! Maybe I have low blood pressure and nobody’s ever realized… that would be a reason for the dizziness and stuff. Don’t just go dishing out stupid nonsense to Tsunade-baba!” he barked savagely into his face, foaming spittle falling everywhere.
“Fine…” Kakashi nodded hesitantly, knowing Naruto’s unstable emotions were responsible for this outburst. He would die a painful death before admitting that at times like this, Naruto scared him. Flaming, half-closed eyes studied him closely, deciding for themselves if Kakashi was lying or not. Nodding, he stood up and let him go. The Jounin massaged feeling into his numb limbs as he watched his ex-student and Konoha’s most powerful nin pace the kitchen like a caged beast.
“You may not understand this, Kakashi. You may not agree. I don’t care. I am going in that mission if it kills me, even if I have to go against both you and Tsunade to accomplish my mission. You can even send a complete ANBU squad after me and still I won’t be deterred. Understand? Konoha needs me, Kakashi. Me! Uzumaki Naruto: the Jinchuuriki, the cursed child nobody wanted, the lonely kid everybody spurned, the dobe genin nobody thought would amount to much with his poor chakra control, the mediocre student you ignored for the genius, sensei. They want me, Kakashi and not even Kami itself will be able to stop me from going!” his fists curled tightly, the pain of his clawed fingernails helping to clear his head.
‘Damn it!’ Kakashi closed his eyes with regret, utterly ashamed of his choices so many years ago. ‘If I’d known, If only I had known…’
“Naruto… let me explain… It’s not that you were…” he started with a painful breath.
“Save it for the birds or those who still care, sensei. I stopped thinking about it ages ago. It doesn’t matter anyway, ne? As it is, I am powerful enough on my own. What I am is a direct result of my effort, born from my sweat, blood and tears.” He smiled without rancor, flexing his arms. “The best part? I don’t owe you, or Kyuubi, or Yondaime or anybody else for it.” He shrugged lightly, turning around to face his worn kitchen table. Leaning heavily against it, he waited for the verdict that would surely damn his soul to all hell. For he was not staying even if threatened with prison. With a resigned sigh, he stared out of the window watching the blue skies outside.
“Most of you will never understand this side of me: you’d have to be reborn as a Jinchuuriki. I didn’t ask to be made into one. That was fate. I didn’t ask to be cursed and punished for the things the demon hosted inside me did. That was human nature. I didn’t expect to be needed by those who despise me. That’s karma. Weird sort of justice, don’t you think? Being forced to request help from the one you hate must be truly painful but I can’t turn a deaf ear on this village. I could return what they’ve given me and nobody would blame me, but that would go against my nature. I’ve been called a monster most of my life but if I turn against Konoha, I will truly become one. I promised myself to help those in need, regardless. That is my nindo, Kakashi.” He looked over his shoulder with a sardonic smile on his lips. Kakashi shivered at the coldness reflected in that gesture but thankfully there was no hate either.
‘Naruto, I never thought… I never knew…’ Kakashi stared incredulously at the wealth of feeling Konoha provoked in Naruto. This was the real reason behind his emotional instability. ‘It’s always us, damn it!’
“I will not ask for forgiveness. This is not the time to do so. I will only beg, on my knees if necessary, don’t keep me from going, Kakashi.” He murmured, his bloody nails scoring the wood as he waited tensely.
Kakashi sighed, closing his eyes. He wondered what would be the best course of action. Every time he thought how far he’d gotten without his help he was overwhelmed with equal amounts of awe and remorse. It was the blonde’s stubbornly dedicated personality what’d gained him powerful allies not his rather inefficient intervention. All teachers and benefactors were Top Ninjas but it was in no way related to his effort as a teacher that Naruto’s full potential was attained. He was guilty of both underestimating and restricting Naruto’s latent abilities and he knew it. He was worried about his wellbeing, but it seemed Naruto himself was not. Still, it would be bad judgment on his part if he didn’t stop the blonde from going on this mission. As a leader it was his responsibility to vouch for each man under him.
‘It’s the right thing to do and nobody would blame me. Naruto is obviously unwell and a mission of this magnitude could spell death for him if we encounter enemies along the way. Still, stopping him when he is so close to attaining his life-long goal of gaining Konohagakure’s recognition would be outright cruel. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t, Kakashi. Think! I could order him to stay but then I’d have to deal with the consequences of a dead or seriously wounded and fugitive Naruto hot on our trail or take him with us and risk his death at the hands of our enemies if we’re attacked. I could always throw him in jail until we come back… but that would mean having the Uchiha, Iruka, Nara, Sabaku and Hyuuga just to mention a few, breathing down my neck. What would Iruka do?’ He bit his lip, thinking hard on his options. After a while he nodded, reaching a satisfying conclusion deep inside his heart.
“Heed my words, Naruto. You must swear to me on your nindo… no, better yet. I will have your word, no, your most solemn oath as future Rokudaime that you will obey my every command without hesitation.” He began and immediately confirmed the rightness of his choice when the blonde tensed and nodded, his shaking shoulders preceding twin droplets of water plinking on the table under his hands.
“You may be strong enough to overpower me now but the moment you are tired or dizzy you must give me a signal to stop. You must not push yourself and above all, you will not engage in conflict at any time or you will return to Konoha summarily. Also, any other sign that your illness is worsening will have you hauling your ass back home for a check up with Sasuke in tow. Do we have a deal?” he asked with a wide smile. Cocking his head, he studied the tense lines of the blonde’s posture through half-closed lids. An older image superimposed itself over Naruto’s silhouette, startling him in its accuracy. A lone eye widened incredulously as his breath escaped his lungs.
‘Gods! Why didn’t I see it before?’ he asked himself softly as understanding clicked inside his brain. His heart beat madly against his ribs, willing to believe the unbelievable. Taking a deep calming breath, he shifted in his feet.
‘There’s still time for that Kakashi. Relax.’ Knowing the blonde had still not processed he was being given a chance to go. His lips twisted wryly inside his mask. Another nod and he cleared his throat.
“I’d better get going then. Pack your stuff and see Tsunade at 3:50pm on the dot. She never specified the time and we leave at 4pm.” He stated lightly. Naruto’s head twisted as his heart beat madly inside his chest. It was impossible! Kakashi was giving him a chance to go!
‘He’s letting me go? All right!’ he screamed inside his head holding onto the table to control the rush of adrenaline that swamped his already overwhelmed senses. His arms trembled where they held onto the table and he let his head fall forward with relief. He was allowed to go.
“Oh, and Naruto?” The white-haired Jounin drawled lightly, “Make sure to include healthy rations, vitamins and whatnot. You may say you feel fine but you are still too thin. We have to get some meat on those bones to calm Sasuke’s fears, ok?” he grinned impudently, making sure to be as far as possible from the impulsive blonde.
Once he stood on the living room, he turned to call the blonde’s attention.
“By the way, here is my first order.” The silent blonde straightened and turned slightly with a confused frown on his face; a myriad questions pooling in his blue eyes yet willing to do as ordered. He nodded happily.
“Uzumaki Naruto, I am officially ordering you to make sure to give Uchiha Sasuke a good, hard fuck before we leave. I don’t want to deal with a grumpy, tense Uchiha on the way to Marsh and what better way to relax than sex? I’m warning you! I’d better see a smirk on his face and a dark blush in yours by the time we leave this afternoon, ok? Icha! Icha! Naruto-kun and don’t scare the birds.” he teased with a lewd waggle of his eyebrows. Stunned comprehension dawned on sapphire orbs halfway through Kakashi’s monologue.
“I’m gonna kill you, Kakashi!” he roared, charging with murderous intent. Too late did he see Kakashi finish performing the familiar hand signs necessary for teleportation and he screamed with frustrated rage.
“Kakashi 3, Uzumaki 0. It’s a hit!” he taunted, vanishing into thin air. With an impotent growl, Naruto watched his arms close around the empty space recently vacated by his sensei. Catching his stumbling feet before he keeled head over heels, he cursed fluently as he turned to continue packing.
At the same time on the Uchiha side of the city, dust motes danced slowly around beams of light inside the house as the last Uchiha worked. The sharp metallic clang of weapons thrown together rose in the air. A tired looking man gave the leather tong of his pack a hard yank.
‘There, I’m finally done. Now, it’s time for some tea.’ His hand patted the heavy pack, and he straightened once more thinking of his lover. Unable to sleep, he’d left their futon at dawn to start packing. It was either leave to pack or stay to brood.
Now, many hours later, he surveyed his handiwork with pride before moving towards the kitchen to wait for the water he’d set to boil 15 min. earlier. He’d packed enough to tide him over until they reached Marsh Country, going so far as to include little snacks for his dobe to nibble on if they ever made up.
‘Even if we don’t, these are for him. I’ll have Kakashi deliver them if necessary and he proves to be as stubborn as I know him to be.’ The teapot’s high pitched whistle interrupted his dark musings. With a deep sigh, he removed the screaming teapot from the stove using one of his Uchiha-bearing towels that Naruto had so teased him about and set it on the counter. Scooping his favorite blend of shredded tea leaves inside the small-wire cage; he dunked it inside the boiling water and let it steep. The domesticity of the image disturbed him somehow, something was missing.
‘You mean, somebody is missing, you imbecile.’ He frowned at the scathing retort, wondering if he’d been wrong to try and stop Naruto from going on their mission. Shaking his head, he reminded himself of the reasons why he was against it in the first place. Setting his cup aside, he searched for the sugar cubes while he waited. He liked his tea like he did his men: strong and sweet with a dash of spice. An image of his dobe as he was last night flashed before his eyes.
‘It’s not like you are doing it out of spite, idiot! You are a controlling bastard, true. Then again, Uchiha’s are an extremely possessive lot. It could have been worse… Remember the old wives tales about the male Uchiha’s overbearing protectiveness when their mate is with child? Thank God Naruto’s male!’ He chuckled, rejoicing in the memory of his lover’s tight abs and buns. His body hardened in response.
Sasuke frowned, pouring his tea carefully and stirring in the sugar. The cubes dissolved easily in the revolving heat as he pondered his options. He knew he would not get the time for these things in a long time if at all.
Missions like this usually meant little or no sleep, a grueling pace and Spartan commodities. He would count himself lucky if they got access to fresh drinking water once or twice before reaching Marsh Country. Sasuke finished his tea and delivered his empty cup back into the sink, his mood darkening by the second as he washed his dishes.
Not having Naruto around had certain valuable perks like silence and tidiness but it definitively wasn’t worth the pain it caused him. His body missed him, his mind missed him, damn it! Even his house missed his lighthearted bantering. He cursed under his breath.
‘How the hell am I gonna be able to perform effectively on this mission if just thinking about Naruto makes me this hard, huh? Whose was the marvelous idea to piss off the blonde? Damn it, Uchiha! Your brilliant plan just left us without a lover at the beginning of a long mission. I hope you are happy with the outcome.’ He spat, stepping down the hallway.
On the way to his hot bath, he detoured into what he had dubbed ‘their’ room where he had nursed Naruto back to health and where their relationship had officially started. Avoiding the empty futon, he picked up his bath necessities before continuing on his way. The morning sun was high enough to melt the morning frost but it did nothing to take the chill off the air. He shivered, thinking of the big warm bath waiting for him.
‘If only Naruto were here. I heated enough water for both of us, hoping to make up today. It figures he would play hard to get.’ He slid the door open and steam rose in sheets from the room. He closed his eyes, relishing the steamy heat after the cold morning air. Stepping inside the Uchiha’s communal bath, he closed the door quickly. It would not do to lose precious heat thinking of his missing lover. This time he was not going to beg.
‘If he can’t understand my worry, then he is welcome to sulk all he wants.’ His worried expression belied the fierceness of his words. A firm tug on his obi allowed his yukata to part, exposing his pale skin to the humid air. Wrapping a towel around a thin waist for modesty’s sake, he proceeded to wash his body thoroughly. It would have to tie him over until he was able to cleanse himself again. Uchiha’s were also very fastidious about their personal hygiene.
‘This makes it an even greater wonder that you managed to fall in love with Naruto ‘Big Mess’ Uzumaki, Uchiha.’ He thought with a light chuckle. He closed his eyes, thinking of the last time he’d seen Naruto naked. He moaned softly, thinking on the way the cold water caressed his lover’s body. He’d gone to the well house to draw water for the big bath when he’d stumbled on his lover taking a bath last night. There was something innocently erotic on the way his dobe cleansed his body.
‘I was really looking forward to taking a bath with my dobe after last night’s teaser. Shame…’ he sighed again. Eyeing his raging erection with dubious eyes, he soaped his hand purposefully.
“Naruto is not here and I don’t think he will be coming anywhere near me anytime soon, so let’s deal with this problem now.” He counseled himself logically. Still his hands rested on his thigh unwilling to do his bidding. “Oh, come on, Uchiha! It’s not like you were a virgin before Naruto. This isn’t your first time!”
“And here I thought I was your first… There goes a dream!” a familiarly light voice drawled behind him and he whirled, crouching into a combat stance. “If it wasn’t for my legendary healing abilities, I’d have been shattered by such news! The Uchiha’s not a virgin!”
“Naruto!” threatened as red circling eyes activated immediately, searching for the familiar chakra that was somehow masked by the steam surrounding him. His instincts told him it was his lover, but one could never be too sure given the situation at hand. “Show yourself!” he barked an order that brooked no arguments.
“Tsk, tsk… always so bossy! Tell me, Teme… is that part of the job description for an Uchiha?” he asked lazily. “And pray tell, what were you intending with that crouch? I can see the only pointy thing you have on you is not made out of iron. You pervert!” a chuckle teased his awareness and he whirled, searching.
“Dobe!” he warned and warm hands wrapped themselves around his chest from behind. A silent gasp escaped his lips as his senses registered the familiar chakra of Naruto stuck behind him. That and the fact his lover was as naked as he. Turning around, he growled. “Usuratonkatchi!”
“I know, I missed you too… but I had to do some packing, you know.” Naruto teased with a lusty chuckle.
“What do you think you are doing?” Sasuke grounded around his mashed teeth. It would not do to show his lover any weakness until their problem was solved.
“Making love, what else? Now, shall we?” he asked officiously while his fingers divested him of his only covering.
“Naruto!” Sasuke squeaked, while his hands rose to still the roaming hands that quickly charted his body. Blushing with annoyance as he realized he was acting like a schoolgirl instead of the seasoned nin he knew himself to be, he struggled to free himself.
“Gods! Is it too much to request a good fuck without having to go over the whole thing right now?” Naruto asked testily, wrapping his fingers around Sasuke’s heated erection. The Uchiha tightened his eyes, hissing with need. His lover’s talented fingers danced mercilessly over already inflamed nerves.
“Naruto… we… must… talk…” gathering the last shreds of his control together, the Uchiha insisted stubbornly. They had to talk about this before they left for the mission. It was too important to let something like sex and desire win him over.
“You want your pound of flesh, ne? Fine, how about this? Yes, Sasuke, I want a piece of this here to calm my edginess. I am scared of failing the mission. Yes, koi you hurt me with your words. Even though I know you did it because you were worried I felt betrayed. Kakashi came to visit saying Tsunade wanted to see me later today. Never fear, Teme. Kakashi ordered me to be late. We have a deal, you see. He knows I’m not completely recovered but I’m still going because I’m needed. I’ve to obey him at all times no questions asked and eat like a horse. Does that cover it?” he asked pointedly, flexing his fingers around his lover’s cock.
“No, I mean…” Sasuke tried to turn to look into his lover’s sapphire eyes. Steely hands tightened around him.
“Too bad. I want you. Now.” He whispered heatedly against the delicate earlobe, his warm lips brushing teasingly against the raven’s sensitive flesh. It was all he could do to repress the shudder of need that stole down his spine.
‘Naruto’ his mind breathed with relief.
“You were saying?” he replied lifting an eyebrow.
“Huh? I didn’t… Naruto!” he gasped as his lover’s talented tongue and teeth wrapped around his earlobe drawing it inside his mouth. Biting his lip to drown the surprised whimper that struggled to leave his chest, he fought to free himself. An amused grunt and his dobe’s hands tightened around his raging hard on.
“Planning on going somewhere, Teme?” the uncharacteristically assertive blonde drawled teasingly into his ear crowding his lover against the wall. Pushing a knee between his lover’s legs, he spread his thighs apart. Sasuke stood still, his heart pounding against his chest as he waited for his voluble lover, unsure of what his next actions should be. A warm hand curled around his hips, tilting him up and away from the wall, spreading his butt cheeks wide apart.
“Naruto!” he gasped with surprise and his lover purred his approval. Sasuke’s skin felt tight and tingly as he waited. Unfamiliar sensations flared through his groin as his tender butt was teased with a hot, wet rod.
Closing his eyes to repress another shudder he bit his lip. Pleasure skated down his spine and spread over his back like a blooming flower. Unconsciously, he pushed back against the prodding head, uncaring of the stinging sensation his tightly contracted sphincter delivered every time. Hissing with misgivings, he held himself still. It was not that he didn’t want Naruto to take him, but just before a mission? No way!
“Oh, so you are not completely against this, are you? How adventurous of you, Teme!” Naruto murmured approvingly and he licked the tempting nape under his mouth. Licking and kissing a hot trail down Sasuke’s spine, he murmured little nothings to take his lover mind away from his actions as he kneeled.
‘Finally, I get to see a normal one…’ he thought as he eyed the tight, pink rosette that was Sasuke’s body entrance. Sasuke’s head twisted incredulously as he felt his lover’s breath on that exposed area of his body.
“Don’t you dare, Dobe! Don’t you fucking dare!” He growled nervously, too late in realizing he was doing nothing to escape his lover’s evil intentions. Naruto’s hands on his buttocks served to both pin him into place and spread his buttocks apart.
“You are going nowhere, my dear Uchiha. Stay still and close your eyes if you want… you owe me.” Naruto whispered, his face flushed as he finally gave in to his impulses. His tongue lapped hesitantly at the twitching bundle, purring with approval as the muscle tightened and quivered under his attention. Licking around the place, he grinned perversely, loving Sasuke’s surprised mewls of pleasure.
“You like! You pervert!” he teased lightly, knowing his bastard wouldn’t resist lashing at him.
“Damn it Naruto! Stop doing th… oh gods! Oh gods! Fuck, Naruto!” his voice turned darker as his lover licked and nibbled on his previously unexplored anus.
Naruto smiled, his tongue deeply embedded inside his lover’s body. Stiffening his tongue, he penetrated his tight, hot body repeatedly before relaxing it deep inside and lapping at the quivering flesh he could touch there.
Sasuke’s flesh softened as his ministrations continued, his lover’s knees trembled with the strain of holding him up. Taking it out, he maneuvered his lover into the floor and into a kneeling position.
“Tasty Sasuke…“ He whispered with a grin. His lover’s remained silent and he snickered. He wouldn’t stay that way for long or his name was not Naruto. Spreading apart his buttocks once more, he spat on the relaxed sphincter he could see gaping and proceeded to spread his saliva before dipping a finger inside. His raven stiffened slightly, pushing back greedily. Even if his mouth refused to talk, his body was speaking volumes making him smile.
‘Tsk, we’ll see…‘ He grinned licking his lips.
