Fraternity

A little bit of a time rewind with regards to last chapter. Think mid-afternoon...

Note: ANBU is just a special police force. The Hokage is the equivalent of a police chief. The characters are not ninjas in this. Um... If ya' need more of an explanation, just leave a comment, send an e-mail, etc.

Chapter 9: Conceive Strength

“Oh, Iruka-chan!” I get to spend all of spring break with him. The fun we'll have...

“Kakashi?” It's only Sunday. I thought you were coming over tomorrow afternoon. How'd you get in? I didn't even hear you knock.”

I got tired of being unable to do work. It's impossible to get anything done when I'm just thinking about him... Naked. “I'm only a day early.”

:sigh: “Yeah, but I was hoping I could get my work finished today so I'd have the rest of the week off.”

He's pouting. :grabs Iruka, nuzzles neck: “You can finish it later.”

“Kakashiiii. You're distracting me. Have you finished your work?”

I love it when he says my name. “Hn. Iruka, you smell good.”

“Honestly. I bet you haven't even started. What are you going to do when Monday rolls around and you haven't finished anything?”

His hair is so soft. I think I'll ravish him now.” :leans down for a kiss:

“Oh no you don't. You can't be here until I've finished my work.”

Iruka needs to stop being so serious. It's such a daunting task, getting things done on time. :whisper: “Iruka.”

“Kakashi. Let me go.”

No, never. :shakes head: “What's it going to take to make you stop working?” I want him to be happy. I need him to stop worrying.

“Finishing.”

“What are you working on?” Maybe I can make it fun.

“I was grading some essays. Three pages, most of them, but I got stuck on Naruto's.”

Naruto... The genius kid. I really should thank him. “What was the topic?”

:sigh: “Dammit, Kakashi! How am I supposed to think with you licking away at my neck?”

Huh? I hadn't even noticed I was doing that. Iruka always makes me a little scatter-brained. “Hmm, but you taste good. Can't help myself.” :nips, licks: Maybe this will get him to loosen up. Sugoi! It's working. He's standing up.

“You do know this means you're going to be helping me with my work later?”

:walking to bedroom:

“Don't worry about it.” He shouldn't ever worry anymore. It's always better when he smiles.

:lays on bed: “Are you just going to stand there and stare?” :grin:

:pounces Iruka: He's so sexy when he grins like that. “Hmm.” And he tastes so good. I love twisting my tongue with his.

:moan:

Lucky me. He's wearing sweats. Easier to take off.

:ring, ring:

“Nn, wait... Let me answer the phone.”

Huh? The phone's ringing? I didn't notice. Well, I did notice, but I didn't really care. White noise...

“Huh?... Okay... Sure thing, Naruto... Bye.”

I wonder what that was about. Sasuke must have something to do with it. “Are you ready now?”

“I just gotta make this phone-call.”

Hn, I'm starting to dislike this Naruto kid. He's keeping Iruka too busy... At least Iruka likes the kid. Whoa, Iruka's really red. He looks like-

“What the hell do you think you're doing?! DID NARUTO HEAR THIS?!”

He's really angry. I wonder who he's talking too. It seems like he's blushing worse now. Why is he holding the phone away from his ear?

:phone: “ITACHI!”

Oh fuck. Itachi and Kyuubi are dead. “'Ruka. Calm down...” :takes phone from Iruka: He seems to be getting angrier by the second. I think it'll be best for everyone-

“Give me the phone, Kakashi.”

:hands phone to Iruka: Well... I'm not in trouble and I don't think I want to defy Iruka right now. I have a really good chance of getting laid and all. Plus, he looks like he's about to kill something. Instinct of self-preservation takes precedence.

“Kyuubi. Naruto told me to tell you that he's going to be spending the weekend with Sasuke at his cottage.”

Wow. I really didn't think Sasuke would get laid before reaching the legal drinking age. That Naruto's full of surprises.

“WHAT! NARUTO'S NOT READY TO LOSE HIS VIRGINITY!”

O.o What? Surely... Kyuubi?...

“Kyuubi. He's with Sasuke. An Uchiha, remember?”

I guess Iruka's trying to make Kyuubi's trust in Itachi's analogous to something that can apply to Sasuke. Oh look, Iruka's moving the phone from his ear again. It's so cute how he's so aware all the time.

“THAT'S RIGHT! Thanks Iruka!”

Finally. Now there's bound to be no more interruptions. “Ready now?”

“Something good better come from all your anxiousness.”

“Oh, I promise someone is going to cum.” I knew that would make him blush. So ravish-able.

(evening) :driving:

Naruto just called his brother. I swear I'll kill them both for putting his ears through those noises. I could brush it off the first time, but twice...

“Ne, Sasuke. You don't gotta get so mad. It's not like they meant for me to listen to... That... Again.”

“...” It's one thing for me to have to deal with it, but when it affects him...

“Aw, come on. You can't blame 'em.”

“...” Yes I can.

“Fine, but I dunno why you gotta be mean to me.”

“I'm not being mean to you.” I'm just angry and plotting the deaths of two idiots.

“Then how come you're not talking to me? Wait. I know why. You'd rather sulk.”

“Of all things, I am not sulking.” I don't ever sulk. I just contemplate silently.

“Sorry. I can't tell the difference between your brooding and sulking.”

“I don't brood either, dobe.” He's so distracting. I can't be left to my thoughts. Not that I want that when he's around. Don't let him know. He'll put on that little grin of victory he gets. It's so infuriating. It makes him look all the more molest-able.

“That's a lie, teme. You get this little frown and you start to furrow your eyebrows a little and you look all sexy and menacing when you lie.”

What? How the hell does he notice these things. :raises eyebrow:

“Uh... I stare when you're not lookin'. It's easy 'cause you don't look at me unless we're making out or something.”

That's a lie. “I constantly stare at you.” Fuck, I didn't meant to say that. It's so stupidly sappy.

“Eh? When?”

“When you're not looking at me. Sometimes when you are.” He never notices because I'm so discrete about it. Plus, he's too oblivious.

“You're not lying.” :grins:

“I've never lied to you.” I may deny far fetched assumptions, but I don't lie. At least not to him.

“I know. Ne, Sasuke... The school program you're in... You wanna be an ANBU too?”

“Hn.” Too... I had hoped he was only in the program for the academics. Of course, that couldn't be possible with Naruto. Hn, if anything, being an ANBU suits him perfectly.

“You know what that means? Don't ya'?”

“What?” As is usually expected, I don't really know what he's going to say next. Still, I have this nagging feeling that I almost know... And it's not going to be good.

“That means I'm gonna be your boss! 'Cause I'm gonna be Hokage!”

Fuck. That premonition was altogether correct. Must have been why the image of the Fourth flashed through my mind. He and Naruto look a lot alike. They're might be related. At least he's shooting for Hokage. He'll have to go to college so he'll be safe for four years, disregarding internships... I wonder if I could convince him to just be a housewife for me rather than take up that job...

“Aren't you gonna tell me how I can't become Hokage or that it'll never happen or somethin'?”

Well, unless he agress to be my housewife... “No, why would I?” He may be my dobe, but I'm aware he's not a complete moron... At least when it counts.

“Most everyone usually does. They usually doubt me. Makes sense though, you're not really like everyone else. I knew you were smart.”

There's that grin of his. I know we're about five minutes away, but if he looks at me like that again, I'm just going to stop the car and jump him.

“You didn't really think I could be like the rest of your friends, did you?” He really has to give me more credit than to lump me in with that lot.

“Nah, I dunno why, but you've always been different. Even Neji and Gaara hated me at one point. Not even 'cause of the usual reason, but 'cause they thought I was too happy and stuff. And maybe 'cause I was always interrupting their lovey-dovey staring. But you... You just kinda accepted me immediately.”

Hated him? I knew those two were stupid, but to hate Naruto? For all his cute happiness? Is that even possible? “Well, it's obvious I'm not an idiot like those two.”

“Heh, no, you're extra special.”

Either he's teasing me or he's being seductive. Either way, he's teasing me. :shakes head: “Dobe.”

“You really think I can do it?”

It's definitely good that he's asking for my approval. “Of course, dobe.”

“Don't call me that. Teme! I'm asking a serious question.”

“I gave you a serious answer. If being Hokage is going to make you happy, then you better make it happen.” Because if he's happy he's easier to molest, of course. That is certainly the only reason I ever want him to be happy. Not to mention that the Hokage position is safer in the right circumstances. And it'll be my duty to protect him since he'll be my 'superior'. All in all, it's best if he's Hokage.

“Of course I will.”

“I know, dobe.” Pout: in three... Two... One...

“Stop calling me that!”

:smirk: He's pouting, we're finally here, and I don't have to hold back anymore.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Holy fuck! We're here. I'm... Sasuke... We're...

“Hurry up, usuratonkachi.”

Okay. I'm cool, calm, and collected. Dammit, cool is my middle name. I'm gonna go in there and grab Sasuke and I'm gonna have my way with him. Yup, I'm gonna have sex with Sasuke.

“Dobe.”

“Huh?” Sasuke's sooo pretty... Crap! I gotta calm down... Am I blushing? Drooling?

“Get out of the car already.”

“I am out of the car.” 'Cause I'm calm, cool... Wait that's not it. It's collected, cool... Fuck that's still not it. Okay, co- Holy lord, Sasuke smells good.

:speaking into Naruto's ear: “I'm sure the car will miss you dobe, but you're mine so you better get up.”

Car? The hell? Oh, I really am still in the car. :groans: Why the hell didn't you guys say anything?

“Hn.” :lifts Naruto out of car, kicks car door closed:

O.O What the hell? Sasuke's carrying me?-! “Oi! Put me down teme.” Ah! He's actually carrying me through the threshold. I should be carrying him! He's the girly one!

“Calm down, dobe.”

Calm down?! Does he know what this symbolizes? It's like consummation! Ahh and we're gonna have sex! “Goddammit. Put me down! I can walk.”

“It's unnecessary.” :sets Naruto on bed:

Great, now we're in a room and he's... “Eep!” Okay, I did not just squeak. See, Sasuke just caught me unawares and pounced on me.

:kisses Naruto, grunts:

:moan: Ah, that's... Ooh, feels so...

“Naruto.”

:moan, pant: “Sasuke. Ah...” Another... Hickey. He's so good at this. I want to hold him... Closer.

:removes his shirt and Naruto's: “Shush. You don't have to whimper like that.”

Whimper! :pouts: “I-I'm not... Whimpering.” Goddamn those hands.

“Sure. Just mewling.”

Ahh, nipples aren't supposed to be twisted like that :groan: “That hurts. Stop pinching.”

:licks nipple:

“Ah! Sas'ke.” That feels soooo good. Maybe those pervert books of his...

“Hn.”

Nooo. “Don't stop.” He's just staring... Kinda creepy.

:chastely kisses Naruto: “Dobe.” :smirk:

:licks lips: “Meanie!” :grabs Sasuke's hair and kisses him: He's not gonna be teasing me, dammit. When I want a kiss... :moan:

“So eager.”

“Damn right. Hurry up and get your pants off.” I wanna... I just want him all over.

“Tsk. What did I tell you about being demanding?”

Uh? I think he said... “Fuck it! Just get naked already. Please!”

“Hn, ask nicely.”

Not this again. “Pretty please?” :pout: I swear, if he doesn't hurry up, Imma give 'im the puppy eyes.

:grins: “Dobe.” :removes Naru's pants:

Wah! I told him to get naked, not to get me naked. “Temeee...”

:licks Naru's lips: “Calm down dobe.”

“But I'm already so horny, goddammit. Stop being sl-mmph.” Now that's what I'm talking about. Hmm, so good... :moan:

:removes his pants:

“Finally!” Now we're getting somewhere.

:laughs:

Nani? Sasuke's laughing. Full blown laugh and not an evil, perverted chuckle?

“Dobe.” :chuckle:

:smiles: “Teme. You sound nice when you laugh. Kinda sexy.” :waggles eyebrows: Ah, Sasuke looks so cute laughing like that.

:laughs:

:giggles: Yep, I definitely love Sasuke. He makes me feel that stupid, giddy feeling where nothing matters but making him happy.

:sigh: “You have the stupidest-looking face.” :smiles:

“Eh?” You know, if it weren't for that smile, I would punch his lights out. I mean... Was that another twisted Uchiha compliment? 'Cause it almost sounded nice. Maybe it's 'cause of that smile...

“Don't think too hard. Might hurt yourself.”

:scoffs: “That is such an old joke. Really teme, I thought you'd be able to come up with something better than that.”

“Hn. I'll show you bett-”

:ring ring: WTF? O.o

“It's your phone, dobe.”

Huh? Why now? “Humph. We were just getting to the good part.”

:smiles: “Dobe. Just answer it and say you're busy.”

:nods: “Hello?” I'll just be quick so I can back to...

(phone) “Where are you, gaki?”

Aw, man. “Baachan? I'm with Sasuke.” Why is she calling me? Well, why now?-!

“Yes, but where?”

“Uh... Lemme ask Sasuke. Ne, Sasuke, where are we?” I have a feeling we've been interrupted for the rest of the day.

“About 300 miles from the city.”

“Fine, stay there.”

“Eh?” Why is she saying that? And her voice sounds all masked and monotone. She's hiding something.

“Don't question me. Just stay there.”

“Well I wasn't planning on going anywhere.” Me and Sasuke are gonna be very busy... :grins:

“Good. I'll call every hour, on the hour.”

:face-vaults: “What?” That means... In an hour... Even if me and Sasuke get going, we'll be interrupted!

“Bye, gaki.”

“Wait. Tsunade no baachan!” Ah! She hung up. I don't want her interrupting me and Sasuke! What the hell is she monitoring me for?-! Fuck! She probably traced the call...

“Naruto.”

:sigh: I just know she's gonna send out ANBU. Something bad is happening. “Sasuke. I don't know what's going on, but... We're being guarded by ANBU.”

“What?”

Oh crap. Now I gotta explain things. I... He won't hate me, right? I love him and he wouldn't hate me... “Um... Sasuke? Promise you won't hate me?” Just like you don't hate me, ne?

“What? Don't be stupid. It isn't even possible to hate you.”

O.O :glomps Sasuke: Wah! I knew he wasn't such a bastard! See, Sasuke's the greatest!

“Dobe, tell me what's going on.”

“Uh... Well... I dunno if you know this, but Kyuubi... He did some things...” Not that they were bad... Just... Argh! This is Sasuke! It's safe to tell him this...

“He killed some people, like the Yondaime.”

Who told him? I thought we got the whole thing covered up and all. “Oh, you know too. Itachi?”

“I accidentally overheard when Kyuubi first told Itachi. I was supposed to be at the library... You'd think something like that would be well-known. Even taught to us.”

Oh, crap. I always knew Sasuke was smart. “Yeah. About that. You see... Yondaime... He was... My dad.”

“Hn.”

Is he putting on his cold bastard act or did he know about that too? “You're not surprised?”

“I thought you looked alike. I wondered if you were related to him.”

Yep, Sasuke's a freakin' genius. “Oh. Right, well... You see...”

“Spit it out, dobe.”

Yeah, I wanna do that, but man, it's hard. “'Kay. Since Yondaime was my dad, I kinda have connections. And... I was tired of the way people treated my aniki... So...”

“...”

Everybody's got family in ANBU. They're the biggest organization in the world... So everyone kinda knows. Everyone hates me because of this. Because I helped and defended Kyuubi. A supposed murderer...

“Naruto.”

His eyes... Those normally cold eyes... He's actually showing expression on his face. “I had the documents regarding the incident sealed. Only Kyuubi and me have full access to them. Iruka has limited access.”

:nods: “Why Iruka?”

“'Cause Kyuubi killed his parents too.” So he's not really reacting yet, but I can't look into his eyes anymore. Not right now. I don't want to see any hate there. Not from him.

“Assuming it was possible to hate you; why would I?”

Sasuke sounds like... “'Cause everyone else does.” :looks up at Sasuke: He is! The bastard is smirking!

:smiles: “Dobe. You really have the stupidest looking face.”

Yes!!! He doesn't hate me. Yes!!! Sasuke has no traces of being an idiot. Yes!!! Sasuke's my bastard! :glomps Sasuke:

“Dobe, that doesn't explain why we're being monitored by ANBU so I can't ravish you in privacy.”

Okay... I just gotta analyze that statement... Explain... ANBU... Ravishing... “Well, like I said, I got connections.”

“No shit, the Godaime was at Kyuubi's birthday party.”

Stupid Baachan. “Right, well, I dunno why, but she's being overprotective and now we're being watched by ANBU.”

:sigh: “So we can't fuck.”

Teme. Even if he is smart... “Well, I was thinkin' there'd me more to it than just a 'fuck'.” He's still stupid.

“That's not what how I meant it.”

Hm... I wonder how long it'll take for him to admit he loves me. I bet I can get him to say it first. “Yeah, sure.” :gets off of Sasuke: Seriously, bet ya' three bowls of ramen.

“Naruto.”

“...” Heh, that bastard's gonna admit it. I know so. You're gonna owe me three bowls.

:grabs Naru, shoves him against a wall: “Naruto, I...”

:glares: Dammit I should have bet for more bowls!

“Naruto. I love you.”

:doki, doki: Ah! I know I expected it, but... Oh god that feels so good to hear. :hugs Sasuke: "I love you too, teme.” Heh, only a week. Sasuke's so love-able.

“Dobe.” :kisses Naruto:

Hell yeah! You owe me three bowls of ramen.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

:driving:

“Neji.” Why is he so... Unhappy?

“Yes, Gaara?”

Is this what it feels like to?... Damn. I don't even know what this feels like. I think it's worry, but I'm so confused, and slightly angry. Commiseration? Stupid complex emotions...

“What has you troubled?”

Why the hell is he asking me that? “That's what I'm wondering about you. It had to do with that letter from earlier.”

“It bothers you that I'm depressed?”

“Yes.” It makes sense. He's depressed... I don't want him feeling that way. At least with him around I can peg what I'm feeling...

“Well, don't. Don't bother.”

What? Stupid Hyuuga... Why doesn't he want me to be concerned for him? Would he feel the same for me? Why am I bothered?... Hn, right, it's because he's upset that I feel this way. Stupid emotions.

:at Gaara's driveway, parks car: “Why won't you stop?”

What the hell was in that letter? “Stop what?” :unbuckles seatbelt:

“Stop... Feeling whatever it is you're feeling because it isn't real. It makes no sense that you should care at all.” :unbuckles seatbelt, opens car door:

The hell? After everything... Our rivalry for Naruto... Seeing me as an opponent. His stupid pretty hair and his stupid pretty eyes. All our competition. Our mutual competion. Our short-lived union against Sasuke. Our union—for ourselves. All the fucking... The moans... The kisses. :grabs Neji's arm: “All the emotion. Your stupid, stupid beautiful expressions and your stupid wonderful hair! After all this you think it makes no sense that I don't care! I'll have you know Hyuuga, after you've made me feel all of this... Pleasure, pain, happiness, anger, jealousy, contentment; all this love—mmph.” WTF? He's kissing me! And he interrupted my thoughtless rant:pushes Neji away: “Don't interrupt me when I'm talking!”

:grins: “You love me. That's why you care.”

I love him?... That makes sense. :nod: Well, it seems he's pegged my emotions once again. Really, am I going to have to worry about myself with him around? It seems I'll only ever have to worry about him. “What was that letter about?”

“It was from my father.”

He's never told me about his father... He was an ANBU. I remember reading about it in the news... “Let's go inside...”

:walking to door

:inside Gaara's home:

“Gaara.”

He sounds so vulnerable. It's because he's mine. Because... I... I love him. I suppose it was inevitable. “You don't have to explain if you don't want to. Just tell me what I can do to make it better.”

“Hn, you want me to tell you to do something?”

:shrug: “I suppose so. Whatever it takes to get you feeling better.” Fine, the realization that I love him should have happened a minute ago when he pointed it out- What? I shouted it too? You're delusional. Fucking, crazy fangirl... Regardless, I'm only feeling giddy now. You're lucky I'm feeling like this, otherwise, you'd be dead. But honestly―what the fuck?! Is this a delayed reaction?...

“Hm, you're still confused. What, you can't believe you love me?”

Am I supposed to feel so happy? It's so foreign. “No, baka, I just can't believe it feels like this.” I swear if I start giggling, I'm going to... Well, maybe I'll just make the Hyuuga fuck me into my bed...

“Feels like what? Stupid, irrational, nonsensical and absolutely... Great.”

I love him. :chuckles, grabs Neji: “Goddammit Hyuuga. Do you understand everything, or are you just good with words?” I feel like doing everything at once. I want to hold him and fuck him and talk to him and look at him and... I just want him.
“Gaara.” :kisses Gaara:

Gentle? Why is he?... Oh, that feels strange... It's like he's kissing me but I can't really feel it... Well, I can't very well explain this. It just feels so good. He's always making me feel good. What?... He's pulling away.

:grins: “So, are you really going to do what I tell you to?”

:shrugs: “That's not really necessary anymore.” Regardless, I want to see how far he'll take this. Although I want to pull him in for another one of those kisses, I want to see how good he's gotten after taking commands from me.

“Really, though, don't you want to know how good I am without your orders? I know what you like.”

I'm going have to figure out how he knew that. “Read my mind, Hyuuga.” But right now... :lightly kisses Neji: “Hurry―” Oh, he's already getting undressed...

“Just sit back, Gaara. Let me do the work.”

:nods: Damn, why didn't he take of his pants? “Okay, Neji.” It feels really weird not to be the one in control. I'm certain he won't do anything I won't like, but he's―He's kissing me and doing that thing with his tongue and I don't think being a little uncomfortable is going to undermine his talented, talented tongue on my neck. “Fuck, Neji.”

“We're getting there Gaara. Don't worry.”

:moans: I... I really... Need him. Finally; the bed. “Neji.”

“I know Gaara. I know.”

I'm not... Disappointing him... Am I?

“It's okay Gaara. The commands are a turn on. It wouldn't be good sex without 'em.”

:kisses Neji... for a couple minutes: “Stop being a mind-reader.”

“Stop being so readable.” :grinds hips into Gaara's:

Fuck! :moan: This afternoon did nothing but make me crave him more. The idiot probably planned some of this. And I'm supposed to be manipulative...

:pant: “Gaara. We're not going to last long this first round.”

:gasp: “I don't care... Don't want to.” I want him inside me already!

:takes off Gaara's shirt: “Care to help me get you undressed by taking off your pants while I take off mine?”

Whatever gets him naked faster. Stop agreeing. God, I can't believe you're watching... Perverts. “Better hurry up, Neji.”

“Always Gaara.” :removes pants: (AN: Break out your tissues and drool buckets.)

Holy hell. Looking at him is making this goddamn erection of mine hurt.

“Just lay down. I'll take care of it.”

Did you hear that? 'He'll take care of it.' Just as he should... Oh, there's the lube.

“Tell me if it hurts. It might because of earlier.”

Fuck that. :grunt: Two fingers... :moan: “More.”

“No pain?”

Gods no. :shakes head: “Hurry.”

:groan: “Ah... Gaara.” :pant:

:kisses Neji: He feels so good. :thrusts upwards:

:moan: “Damn. Gaara, we're really not going to last.” :thrusts out, thrusts in:

“Ah, I don't wanna. Neji.” So full... More... Just a little more.

“Gaara-:pant:-I love you” :pant:

Neji. Pretty. Harder. Cock. Mine. Love. :pant: “Ah, Neji!” :shudders:

:groan: “Fuck, Gaara.”:moan:

:pant: Love... “Neji.”

“I know Gaara, I know.”

“Damn mind-reader.”

:laughs: “Pouty panda.” :pant:

O.o Stupid, pretty Neji.

:time rewind over (back to the end of chpt. 8):

“What are you doing here.” Idiotic Orochimaru. Nice fucking trap he set up. Especially since Kyuubi's here. I know he'll be okay. I just can't help but be stupidly in love and actually worry.

“My, my, Itachi. Is that any way to speak to your dear old friend?”

I'm not sure what's going on. Orochimaru shouldn't be here. I suppose Kisame must be working for him. I wonder how many more of the Akatsuki's ranks are working for Orochimaru.

“Still as silent as ever, I see. It doesn't matter, I don't need you to talk.”

The situation can't go wrong from here on. Orochimaru obviously doesn't have the manpower he requires for whatever it is he's planning. He couldn't honestly believe he would be able to recruit me. Then again... He does have some leverage.

“All right. You certainly know why you're here. Now tell me, what's it going to be? Are you taking the job?

“Hn.”

:walks closely to Itachi: “Don't play coy with me, Itachi-kun”

If this snake touches me, I don't think Kyuubi will be able to hold back. Though, considering the lack of guards here, we should be fine. Even those carefully hidden snipers won't be of any help to him. He won't underestimate me, but if he doesn't know Kyuubi-

“You are aware of what will happen should you refuse? Yes, of course you are. That pretty red-head of yours might just become a little more red...”

Hn, he couldn't. Apparently, however, he must know something about Kyuubi. Surely he's done a background check. He's going to be somewhat prepared. It won't be enough...

“You should have already thought this through. I know you must have. Let's skip the formalities already. Your targets thus far are these two.” :hands file folders to Itachi:

Deidara and Sasori. He's planning to attack Akatsuki members without being in the organization. Planning a take-over. I really never figured Orochimaru to be this big of an idiot. To actually give me the information. He thinks he's got his bases fully covered. It's as if he didn't know—he doesn't know. He doesn't know about Naruto:nods:

“Good, I'm sending you out with Kisame so you'll finish with those two quickly. After that, you are to report back here.”

:nods: He doesn't know about Kyuubi's ties with ANBU through Naruto. He really doesn't know! If there was ever a time to be thankful of that boy...

“Itachi. Just so there's no misunderstanding. You really can't get out of this one. Bring them in.”

:muffles, sounds of struggling: (AN: Oh, the Sound of Friction-spam and goldfish :P)

Sasuke! Goddamn it. Naruto too! How could Orochimaru have?... Wait... Did he just?...

“Come now, you can't honestly be surprised. I would never have called you in if I didn't have a trump card. You do understand now? Don't you.”

:nods: He really is an idiot.

:gunshot:

“Sasuke!”

End Chapter 9

Please don't kill me! I really wanted Sasuke and Naruto get it on. Even the both of them really wanted it. But... Now you have another reason to hate Orochimaru?

Um.. The SasuNaru lemon is coming. I'm wondering... Would you guys like to have me take a break from the story's format and write it out with full blow description, thoughts included? Or do you guys want the same old format with a non-descript. lemon? If I do the latter, I'll probably end up doing it in both Sasuke and Naruto's POVs at the same time (if it doesn't read too confusingly). Well, it's up to you guys. Personally, I'd shoot for the nice lemony, descriptive prose, but I guess the non-descript stuff leaves more to your own imagination.

Questions!:

Why is Orochimaru a bastard? Why couldn't we spend more time with Neji and Gaara? Who the hell got shot?! Will Kyuubi finally kick some ass, preferably snake ass?

Find out the answers to all these questions and more in the next chapter of Fraternity.
