dealing with demons.
The beeping of the machine next to hospital bed indicated that its occupant still breathed, still had a heart beat. Which considering the seriousness of the wound inflicted upon Sasuke, was a small miracle in itself.
Tsunade checked all the tubes and wires that sprawled out over the last Uchiha, pausing over the bandages that covered the pale chest. His heart was still weak. The beeping announced it to any that knew what to listen for. Itachis sword had passed through the left ventricle and sliced the valve that let the blood in to the left side of his heart. It was not a clean cut and it buckled the tissue were the aorta connected to the heart. In fact, it was what saved him.
The blood could not get in to the heart to bleed out, but the pressure had weakened the aorta considerably.
Slowly the blond hokage ran her trained fingers over the white bandage, feeling the awkward beating in the pale chest. In the haste to heal him, one of the medic-nins healed the sliced valve wrong and he was still to weak to survive the surgery required to fix it.
The presence of the bad valve was audible from the beeps that were the only sound in the room, the monitor screen showing the off beat in the form of a green line.
Lifting her hand to the IV, she read the words printed on the side of one of the vials to make sure he was receiving the strongest non narcotic pain killer.
It was not as powerful as morphine, but considering his past affiliation to it, it was best to not let him have that drug. Running her fingers through the midnight locks of the sleeping teen on the bed, she closed her tired brown eyes and sighed.
It had only been 4 days since the akatsuki trapped them in the tower during the meeting and Sasuke had woken up today, demanding to see Naruto. Not caring that his heart was not up to snuff and trying to get up and walk when he was told that he could not see his friend.
His heart was already weak and she did not think that it would do him any good for him to see the blond that he had risked everything for, in a cationic state.
It made her choke up just to think about Naruto laying lifelessly on the bed a few floors down in the secured ward. Jiraiya had resealed the demon the same day as the attack and still the elders feared the beasts escape in to the available and unable to fight host.
That had pissed her off to no end. The old farts would not even call him Naruto, just ‘the host’.
The sound of knocking made Tsunade look to the doorway, Shizune stood just outside and the blond woman sighed again before leaving Sasuke’s side. She was still the hokage and still had all the massive amounts of paperwork that needed to be done, still had to organize the search for the last two remaining akatsuki that had gotten away from them, form up new three man teams and select more jounin to go to ANBU because they were short handed. There were so many things she had to do and watching Sasuke sleep was not as high in the list of priorities as rebuilding the destroyed houses and re-planing the caves system so that they would not have it used against them again.
Retreating from the room, she turned the lights off to make the sleeping teen more comfortable, looking back at the sleeping form and sighing. Then shutting the door halfway to keep the light in the hall from bothering him as well.
Not noticing the dark eyes open a crack to watch her leave, then open fully at the sound of her footsteps walking away from the room.
Grunting as he scooted himself to the edge of the bed, Sasuke reached out and shut the heart monitor off. Waiting silently for a few moments and not hearing an alarm sound in the nurses station. That was what he had thought, earlier today he had just ripped the little tags from his chest and the nurses ran over because they thought he was crashing, but if the thing was not on then the alarm did not sound.
Pulling the little tags from his chest off and still not hearing the alarm, he started to unhook himself from everything, the IV coming out last. He had surprised the nurses with his resiliency to the non narcotic painkiller. The fact he was on the highest dose possible and still woke up, startled some of them. Later on when he was a little more clear headed, Tsunade had come in and explained that his addiction had been classified and only a few people knew. The nurses not been in the need to know loop and would stay that way as long as he did not do any thing that made it so they had to know.
Then she went on to explain Narutos condition. No higher mental activity, the part of him that made him breath and his heart beat still was working, but that was all that was going on in his head.
He had asked to see him, then demanded, then tried to go see him himself, only to end up sedated. Which he had resistance to as well because heroin was a type of sedative. It still had knocked him out for a few hours, about three instead of eight.
Pulling the IV from his arm then looping the length of tubing to the top of the rack that held the bags of clear liquid destined to go in his body, so that it would not drip on to the floor.
Finally free from all the wires and tubes, the raven haired teen scooted down past the railing on each side of the bed. Then used the railing to pull himself in to a sitting position, wincing and groaning from the pain that shot through his chest.
Just sitting up seemed to drain him of his energy and he had to wait a few moments until he could get himself to move again. Swinging his feet over the edge of the bed, then standing up on his weak legs. His bare feet hitting the floor and the sleep pants he wore suddenly felt inadequate against the air conditioning.
The room was cold and he had to stop and catch his breath. Tsunade had explained his condition to him, saying that his heart was not functioning normally and that it could not handle a stressing load. He could not work out, or strain it in any way and he was going to feel the difference if he started to move around, he would be weaker, from the lack of proper blood flow.
He was panting, holding his chest and the railing on the bed, not sure if his legs were going to hold him or not. Closing his dark eyes, the image that had plagued his dreams drifted back to him.
Naruto was laying lifeless on the cement as feet thundered by. Sometimes it looked like he was asleep and sometimes he looked like he had just been ripped up by the snake again. But wether he was bloody or not did not matter, the worse part was the lack of motion, of life.
“No. I have to see him.”
Gritting his teeth, he stepped away from the bed and grabbed a large shirt from the cabinet next to the door out. Pulling it on and stepping out, not hesitating to use his sharingan to stop the nurses that had tried to rush over to stop him.
He was still in ICU and there was not that many other people in the ward. All of whom should be tucked in to bed by now. Visiting hours were long over and the moon shown through the windows in the waiting room.
Making his way to the elevator and punching the call button, Sasuke leaned against the wall, sweat trickling down his face from the short walk. The dull throb in his chest having gotten worse from his short use of his sharingan.
There was the ‘bing’ and the doors opened.
Forcing himself to move again, he stepped in to the elevator and as the doors started to close he spotted a cart loaded down with supplies. The nurses must of been in the middle of restocking when he stepped out of his room. Hitting the door open button , then the hold button so that the elevator would not leave with out him, he ventured back to grab a few needed items from the cart.
Returning to the elevator he thumbed the close button then the one for the secured ward in the sub basement.
Sasuke was panting from the minor exertion and his chest hurt, his pants of breath clouding up the metal elevator door he was leaning on. There was a piece of him that wanted to just curl up and sleep. Drop kicking the thought out of his head, he threw his head back and caught a glimpse of himself in the shiny metal of the elevator door.
He needed another hair cut, his black mane had grown out and he was suffering from a bad case of bed head. Running his fingers through the tangled mess, pausing to watch his hand shake. Not from withdrawal for once, but from improper circulation.
Looking back in to his distorted reflection he noticed how ghostly pale he was and the dark circles around his eyes.
There was the ‘bing’ as the door opened and slowly he made his way out of the elevator. Having to use sharingan again on the guard, the raven haired teen winced and grabbed his chest as the stab of pain worked its way through him.
His already weak legs trying and give out on him.
Reaching out so he could lean on the wall as he panted and groaned, sweat dripping off of him as he waited for the pain to recede enough for him to move again.
He was going to see Naruto. He did not care how much it hurt, it was his fault the blond was like this and he was going to see him, god damn it. He still had a few thing to say to the dobe and he was not going to let some small thing like pain get in his way.
Fisting the cloth of the large shirt over his heart, he snarled as he got his feet moving again. Taking the key from the unconscious guard and letting himself in to the ward. Knowing with out even having to read the name on the door, that Naruto was in the room with the containment seals placed all around it.
The white paper and calligraphy, announcing the blonds location better than a ten foot sign.
Solemnly he sorted through the keys on the ring he had taken from the guard, finding the one that matched the door and opening it.
The light from the hall way shown the form that laid on the bed and the thousands of seals that covered the walls. Stepping in to the room, Sasuke turned on the lights and looked over Naruto.
He looked like he was sleeping, a deep sleep, that at any moment he could wake up from and yell at him for tuning the overhead lights on. But he never moved.
Closing the door behind him, the last Uchiha pulled out the supplies he had acquired from the cart. The metal tray of scalpels fresh from the cleaner, opening the tray they had been cleaned in and removing a handful of the sharp, shiny objects.
Slamming one after another in to the door at an angle, effectively nailing the door shut. Dropping the last few he held as the pain returned to his chest. His hand was buried in to the fabric that covered his chest over his heart and he leaned forward to rest his head against the door.
The cool wood of the solid door pressing against his sweat soaked forehead. He could feel the off beat in his heart pounding in his head, echoing off the door and the pain from pushing his heart to work to hard to soon, was making his legs turn to jell-O.
Turning so his back was pressed against the door he again looked at the sleeping form on the bed.
The bright lights shining off the golden hair that was brushed out, probably by Tsunade. The tan glow of Narutos skin showing that the rest was doing him good.
Sasuke let out a shaky breath as he watched the dobe sleep.
The secure ward was underground to prevent the patients from jumping out a window and escaping. The door was of solid wood for the same reason and for all the security measures to make sure that people could not get out, it also meant that it would be hard to get in.
Putting one last scalpel through the door and jam as a nail, the raven haired teen approached the bed.
Tsunde had run every test there was to try and find out if there was anything that could be done for Naruto. All came back negative.
The only thing she did not try and would not try, was to send someone with a mind jutsu in to see what was left. It would anger the already pissed off demon, putting the person face to face with the beast and Tsunade would not risk it.
He did not blame her, Kyuubi was a monster worthy of the title demon, but he had faced the creature and lived. Besides, he did not have to go in to Narutos head to speak to the fox, he still had the summoning contract with the demon.
It was a risk, a big one. But he had to know if Naruto could come back, could wake up.
The dobe would not want to live like this, connected to machines and inactive for the rest of however long he lived. No, Naruto would not want to be cramped up in this windowless room, not even able to feel the sun. And the bastards would keep him here, the elders were scared of the fox and would not take any chances to let Kyuubi out again.
Sasuke stood at the bed side, looking down at the scarred face.
Reaching out and running his pale hand through the golden hair, he gently ran his thumb against the back shell of a ear.
He knew what the fox liked, knew what the fox would do if he had the chance.
But still he had to know.
He had to know if there was anything left of his friend.
Bringing his hand down to cup the side of Narutos face, he ran his thumb across the rosy lips.
He had to know if there was anything he could do to bring him back.
Leaning down and nearly screaming from the pain that shot through his chest and back, he steadied his breathing and kissed the blond. Feeling the warmth of the lips but also the abject unresponsiveness.
Pulling away, Sasuke groaned as he straitened, once again burying his hand in to the fabric above his heart, like pressing on his cracked sternum could make the pain stop.
Slowly the pain faded back to a tolerable level and he pulled up Narutos shirt, uncovering the tan stomach and the fresh seal.
The ink still looked wet, that if he touched it, it would smear.
Gently he ran his finger along one of the faded scares the seal was over and felt the warmth that Naruto always seemed to be expelling. Pulling his hand away, Sasuke ran through the seals of the summoning jutsu, pulling forth any chakra that was left in his system then set his hand on the blonds navel.
There was no pop, no cloud of smoke to let him know if it worked, just a growl as he was slapped across the room to hit the door with a thud then slid down to lay on the floor.
Spots danced in his vision, the thick, choking red chakra filling the room and making it hard for him to concentrate on willing the pain away.
Clawed hands grabbed the collar of his shirt and he could not stop the grunt of pain as he was pulled forward to be eye to eye with the demon that was still in Narutos form. Crouching and growling, every action reeking of poorly hid killing intention.
He could feel the rage washing off the beast. The loathing and hatred giving the cackling chakra a impossibly hostile edge to it. All he could see were the sharp fangs and the snarling lips, the red eyes and broad marks on the cheeks that he had only moments before, caressed.
Kyuubi was studying him, waiting for him to do something and when he did not do any thing, the beast roared and slammed his claw tipped fist in to the side of his face knocking him back to hit the door before falling in to a heap on the floor.
Sasuke could taste the blood from his split lip and feel the still red hot pain from his eye and cheek as claws once again grabbed his shirt. Pulling him up to face the fox that had just bruised the entire left side of his face.
“What do you want, whelp?”
The deep, venomous voice making him shutter, not out of fear but from the barely contained rage that made it seem like Kyuubi was asking how he would like to die.
But he had expected this, the fox would be angry at being sealed again, but it did not change the fact that Kyuubi was the only one that knew what was left of Naruto.
“Bring Naruto back.”
The beast roared, slamming him in to the door and Sasuke saw white as his back hit the solid wood, then gagged as the clawed hand moved up from his collar to grab his neck with a vice like grip.
Kyuubi watched, bemused at the weak struggles of the raven haired teen as he choked him. The pale hands trying to pry his own off the neck and the harsh sounds as he gasped for air. Grinning as the dark eyes started to roll up and the pale hands fell away, the fox let go of the pale throat. Letting Sasuke slump to the floor as color slowly returned to the teens face.
“Bring him back Kyuubi dono, please bring him back.”
Growling, the fox threw Sasuke across the room hearing the thump as he hit the side of the bed.
He was supposed to be scared of him, be begging for his life, not to bring the blond back. It was bad enough to be trapped inside a human, but to be asked to help them. No demon would ever sink that low.
Stalking over to pale human, growling the entire time, Kyuubi grabbed the teens arm and jerked him around so the ignorant human could see his face.
Sasuke did not scream, it hurt to much to scream so he just laid still as the beast jerked him around so that he was looking in to the blood red eyes. There was no compassion, no understanding or feelings. Just rage and hate, anger and loathing, he had been a fool to think the demon would help him.
But Kyuubi was still the only one that could tell him if Naruto could wake up. If there was anything left of the blond idiot.
Kyuubi was crouching over him, the fox seemed to like that position and the Uchiha pulled out every last snippet of information he had ever heard about foxes and demons.
Canine, sneaky, Kyuubi was the strongest of all the demons, dominate, alpha male, horny.
Hands shaking as he came to his conclusion, Sasuke forced himself to lean up and lick the underside of the foxes throat, whispering as he pulled away.
“You can do whatever you want to me, I’ll let you, I’ll do what you say, just bring him back.”
Nearly screaming as the clawed hands shoved him back to the floor.
“If I wanted your ass, I would of taken it.”
Sasuke heard the harsh voice and the condescending tone, but also the hint of amusement. The demon would never just give him what he wanted, Kyuubi would have to be bribed and the only thing of his that the fox wanted, was his rear.
“Besides, what makes you think that there is anything left of the human to bring back?”
The beast leaned forward a little, pressing on Sasukes chest and the raven haired teen could not hide the pained groan.
“You sound like a bitch in heat, whore. You want me to fuck you, fuck you in to the floor, fuck you until cum leaks out of your mouth from taking so many loads in the ass.”
The beast was taunting him, playing with his trapped prey and all Sasuke could do was grimace as the fox controlling Narutos body, pulled the sleep pants off and presented him with Narutos hardening dick.
“Suck it, bitch.”
He had known what the fox wanted from him, had known that Kyuubi would not hold back, but it did not make it any easier to take the organ in to his mouth. Not when he was panting from the pain in his chest and when the fox grabbed the back of his head forcing him to sit up, straining his chest, white spots appeared in his vision and he thought he would pass out. Still, somehow, he managed to give head to the swiftly hardening shaft in his mouth, his pained groans only making it feel better to the beast.
As soon as the cock was fully hard the demon pulled away and Sasuke let himself sink back to laying on the floor, panting from the pain in his chest. Not fighting as the clawed hands grabbed him and flipped him over, arranging him so that he was on his hands and knees, then pulling his sleep pants down so that the cool air nipped at his nether regions.
He was still panting, hands shaking from the bad blood flow when he felt the warmth of the demon press against his butt, then back side, as Kyuubi positioned himself over him, the shaft he had brought to it’s glorious twitching hardness, pressing in between his cheeks.
“Your going to take it like a good bitch, your going to moan and scream for me to fuck you over and over, like the slut you are.”
The hot puffs of the demons breath hit the back of Sasukes neck right before fangs plunged in to his nape and the engorged member pushed in to his unprepared hole.
Not having enough strength left in him to scream, all he could do was groan as the beast started to move, not letting him adjust to the intrusion. He tried to get a wider stance so the muscles would not be compressed, but the sleep pants were around his knees and would not let him shift to ease the pain.
Sasuke could feel his odd heart beat in his fingers and ears and concentrated on that. Pushing the pain in his rear and neck out of his focus, crying out only when Kyuubi thrust brutally deep. The hot clawed hands roaming over his still clothed chest as the beast leaned on him for balance as he thrust. Kyuubi shifted then wrapped his arms around Sasuke’s chest holding him tightly as he picked up the pace.
Sasuke was no longer able to feel the thrusts or the fangs, just the arms holding his chest, the pounding of his heart speeding up, sending an intense pain through out his body.
Grimacing as he forced himself to stay on his hands and knees and not fall to the floor as it became harder to breath. He had to do this, he had to get the demon to bring Naruto back. The beast had not said that he would do it, but he had to find out, he had to try. Kyuubi could and would fuck him either way, so he had to make it worth it to the fox to bring the blond back.
Rocking his hips back to meet the beasts thrusts, he felt the fangs pull out of the nape of his neck then lips grazing the tender flesh.
“That’s a good slut. Now make some noise bitch.”
Shuttering at the harsh voice, and at the hands that drifted south to grab his flaccid dick, stoking it roughly. Making a fist against the cool tiles under him, Sasuke let out a forced moan as he pushed back from the hand on his cock, impaling himself further on to the demons erection.
His pride was screaming at him for these traitorous things he was doing, but he just had to remember Naruto to make it shut up.
The blond was worth the degradation the fox was putting him through.
The dobe was worth the pain from his chest that had spread to his arms.
He felt the thrusts speed up again and he tried to match the beasts rhythm making the pain in his chest worse from the exertion.
His vision was blurring and he could feel his arms giving out, still he forced himself to move with Kyuubi as the pace became erratic as the fox neared his orgasm.
His heart was beating to fast as the beast roared and slammed in to him, grabbing him tightly around the chest as he came.
Then it stopped.
The beating in his ears and fingers, the pain in his chest, the alarming inability to take a deep breath.
Sasukes vision blurred then turned to black as his hearts lower chambers quivered rather tha pumped blood.
Kyuubi snarled at the limp form now laying under him. The brat was supposed to giving him what he wanted; a good lay. Pulling out, the fox grabbed the teens shoulder and rolled him over. Eyes going wide as he sensed the fluctuations in the brats heart. The quivering slowing down as the muscle was denied oxygen from Sasuke’s lack of breathing.
The fox was still straddling the teens legs and the beast growled as he felt the brats neck for his pulse.
Kyuubi had let countless people die under him from his version of mating. Not one of the encounters bothered him. In fact he had made a mental note that mating was the equivalent of him killing someone. The results were the same in most cases.
Still as he looked over the Sasuke brat a odd feeling swelled in his chest. Feeling’s were odd in themselves. Normally he was limited to generalized feelings; something felt good, or it felt bad. Everything else was a form of rage, hate, loathing, or was classified as a pointless feeling, deemed disgusting and worthless.
So this weird tightness in his chest was confusing. It was a feeling, an emotion he was sure of it, but even his rage did not produce the odd swelling feeling in his chest, or the twittering of his stomach.
What was wrong with him?
Looking over this whelp, this annoying human that had brought out the disgusting emotion that he was now feeling, Kyuubi saw the blue lips and the to pale skin. Making the his chest feel tighter than before.
What was this?
He wanted to get the brat to breath, get his heart to beat, he wanted to save the damn human. This feeling must be something powerful to make him, the most powerful of all the tailed demons, want to save someone instead of killing them.
That fact alone made him want to shove it down inside of him and ignore it. Demons do not save people, they kill them. But for some inexplicable reason he liked the way this human looked with his cum leaking out of his ass. He liked the brats smell and fighting sprit, he liked the sounds he made when he was being fucked and his loyalty to his friend, doing whatever he had to, to save Naruto when he did not even know if there was anything left to save.
And for some reason it made his chest tight to see Sasuke on the floor like he was.
Growling as he shook the blond mop of hair his container body sported, the mighty fox gave in to the odd feeling. Charging his hand with his chakra, Kyuubi set it over Sasuke’s weak and quivering heart, letting the charge go.
Seeing the pale body lurch, but not feeling a beet under his fingers the fox charged his hand and focused the charge, making it more powerful than the first and sent it to the faulty organ.
This time the quivering muscles stopped and restarted a more normal rhythm. Very weakly, but much better then before. Still crouched over the raven haired teen, the demon saw Sasuke take shallow breath, then another.
The solid door shook and the beast turned in time to see one of the scalpels fall to the floor. He had sensed the presence of the humans on the other side for some time now, but this was the first time they had tried to get in. They must of felt Sasuke’s life signs go out and were now trying to save him.
A surge of anger and possessiveness washed over the demon. The whelp was his, to save, to kill, to fuck. Dragging his claw tipped fingers through the black main, the beast snarled. He still had no idea what this god awful feeling was that the human had triggered.
Possessiveness, he was used to that, but not wanting to kill the brat, wanting to see him alive and ok. That was new, that was strange and he did not like it. His chest still felt tight, his stomach still twittered and his hand was still running through the black strands.
He did not understand why he felt warm next to him or why he smiled when Sasuke groaned and pressed against his hand that was still running through his hair.
He wanted to blame Naruto, that brat was the cause of so many of his problems, but he was not able to be part of this. The blond whelp was still shattered in his head. He had gathered up all the pieces he could before being locked away in the cage when they resealed him. He had most of Narutos psyche locked in his cage with him. Each fragment a memory and the emotion’s that it evoked.
He had tried to put it back together, if he was going to be stuck in a lifeless body for the rest of his life he might as well have some company, but every time he added the parts that contained the past years memories, the kid would brake back down, fragmenting the pieces again.
He did notice that the pieces were slowly merging back together on there own, that the fragments were larger now then when it had first shattered. So he left the kid to do it himself and for some odd reason he could not figure out, the pieces that were memories of Sasuke, were merging together faster that all the others. In fact they were the pieces that were gluing everything back together.
And the tightness in his chest made him want to put Naruto back togeather so he could see Sasuke smile as well. He wanted to rush the process and get the kid back so he could see this whelp more.
He did not know why, it just, he just wanted to see Sasuke.
The pounding on the door removed more scalpels, when the other humans made in to here, he would be locked back up in Naruto. Unable to see what was going on around his hosts body. The only way out was for Sasuke to use the summoning jutsu and he would not use it unless he wanted to try and get him to bring Naruto back.
Stroking the side of the raven haired teens face, the sly old fox grinned as he figured out a way to not have to return to the cage in Narutos body.
The new seal would not let him form his real body, so when summoned he had to use the one available. He would be sent back in to his cage if he was forced back by Sasuke ending the jutsu or when he ran out of chakra to maintain his control.
He had plenty of chakra and if Sasuke did not know it was him...
It was Narutos body after all and he had all of the brats memories to go through and get the proper responses from. He could just pretend to be the blond kid, Sasuke wanted Naruto around so he would be able to stay next to him and find out why the hell he was feeling something other than rage for once.
Chuckling as he forced his chakra down and brought out the minuscule amount of Narutos chakra. Forcing the claws away and turning his eyes blue, making the lines on his face return to normal so that he looked like what the blond brat was supposed to look like.
Quickly cleaning himself off and pulling on the sleep pants he had discarded then returning to Sasuke’s side to do the same to him. Running through the blonds memories and figuring out how Naruto would act in this situation, he reached down and grabbed Sasukes shoulders. Pulling the dark haired teen up so he was leaning against his chest and holding on to him, letting tears roll down his face.
The door was abruptly kicked in and he winced like Naruto would of, looking up at the startled face of the blond woman with large breasts Naruto remembered as Tsunade. Flinching as she held he arms out to him and letting out a sob as he held Sasuke tighter.
Naruto was traumatized and had lost his trust for other people. The demon had to remember that, had to remember that the blond kid was not the most powerful of the people gathered here and was frightened.
So when the woman wrapped her arms around him, he let out a squeak of terror and froze, getting her to let him go. Then he let the woman take Sasuke from him and give the raven haired teen to the waiting medic-nins. He did not want to let Sasukes leave his side, but he knew that the teen need help.
Watching as the raven haired whelp was carried out, staying sitting on the floor, he felt Tsunade kneel down next to him and wrapped her arms around him again.
“It’s alright Naruto, I’m not going to hurt you. Your safe here. Don’t worry we’ll save Sasuke.”
His face was pushed against the soft flesh of her chest and her hand was running down his back in a soothing way. Slowly Kyuubi let his borrowed body relax as he pretended to get over his terror and listen to the soft reassurances the woman was whispering to him. Hearing her voice crack and the wetness from her tears on his shoulder.
Tears were yet another human enigma to him, but one he had no desire to find out about.
Burying his face in to the ample chest, he held on to the side of the blond women’s clothing and pretended to cry. Making his breathing uneven and letting the annoying tears fall from his eyes, hiding his smile at tricking them.
dealing with demons.
The beeping of the machine next to hospital bed indicated that its occupant still breathed, still had a heart beat. Which considering the seriousness of the wound inflicted upon Sasuke, was a small miracle in itself.
Tsunade checked all the tubes and wires that sprawled out over the last Uchiha, pausing over the bandages that covered the pale chest. His heart was still weak. The beeping announced it to any that knew what to listen for. Itachis sword had passed through the left ventricle and sliced the valve that let the blood in to the left side of his heart. It was not a clean cut and it buckled the tissue were the aorta connected to the heart. In fact, it was what saved him.
The blood could not get in to the heart to bleed out, but the pressure had weakened the aorta considerably.
Slowly the blond hokage ran her trained fingers over the white bandage, feeling the awkward beating in the pale chest. In the haste to heal him, one of the medic-nins healed the sliced valve wrong and he was still to weak to survive the surgery required to fix it.
The presence of the bad valve was audible from the beeps that were the only sound in the room, the monitor screen showing the off beat in the form of a green line.
Lifting her hand to the IV, she read the words printed on the side of one of the vials to make sure he was receiving the strongest non narcotic pain killer.
It was not as powerful as morphine, but considering his past affiliation to it, it was best to not let him have that drug. Running her fingers through the midnight locks of the sleeping teen on the bed, she closed her tired brown eyes and sighed.
It had only been 4 days since the akatsuki trapped them in the tower during the meeting and Sasuke had woken up today, demanding to see Naruto. Not caring that his heart was not up to snuff and trying to get up and walk when he was told that he could not see his friend.
His heart was already weak and she did not think that it would do him any good for him to see the blond that he had risked everything for, in a cationic state.
It made her choke up just to think about Naruto laying lifelessly on the bed a few floors down in the secured ward. Jiraiya had resealed the demon the same day as the attack and still the elders feared the beasts escape in to the available and unable to fight host.
That had pissed her off to no end. The old farts would not even call him Naruto, just ‘the host’.
The sound of knocking made Tsunade look to the doorway, Shizune stood just outside and the blond woman sighed again before leaving Sasuke’s side. She was still the hokage and still had all the massive amounts of paperwork that needed to be done, still had to organize the search for the last two remaining akatsuki that had gotten away from them, form up new three man teams and select more jounin to go to ANBU because they were short handed. There were so many things she had to do and watching Sasuke sleep was not as high in the list of priorities as rebuilding the destroyed houses and re-planing the caves system so that they would not have it used against them again.
Retreating from the room, she turned the lights off to make the sleeping teen more comfortable, looking back at the sleeping form and sighing. Then shutting the door halfway to keep the light in the hall from bothering him as well.
Not noticing the dark eyes open a crack to watch her leave, then open fully at the sound of her footsteps walking away from the room.
Grunting as he scooted himself to the edge of the bed, Sasuke reached out and shut the heart monitor off. Waiting silently for a few moments and not hearing an alarm sound in the nurses station. That was what he had thought, earlier today he had just ripped the little tags from his chest and the nurses ran over because they thought he was crashing, but if the thing was not on then the alarm did not sound.
Pulling the little tags from his chest off and still not hearing the alarm, he started to unhook himself from everything, the IV coming out last. He had surprised the nurses with his resiliency to the non narcotic painkiller. The fact he was on the highest dose possible and still woke up, startled some of them. Later on when he was a little more clear headed, Tsunade had come in and explained that his addiction had been classified and only a few people knew. The nurses not been in the need to know loop and would stay that way as long as he did not do any thing that made it so they had to know.
Then she went on to explain Narutos condition. No higher mental activity, the part of him that made him breath and his heart beat still was working, but that was all that was going on in his head.
He had asked to see him, then demanded, then tried to go see him himself, only to end up sedated. Which he had resistance to as well because heroin was a type of sedative. It still had knocked him out for a few hours, about three instead of eight.
Pulling the IV from his arm then looping the length of tubing to the top of the rack that held the bags of clear liquid destined to go in his body, so that it would not drip on to the floor.
Finally free from all the wires and tubes, the raven haired teen scooted down past the railing on each side of the bed. Then used the railing to pull himself in to a sitting position, wincing and groaning from the pain that shot through his chest.
Just sitting up seemed to drain him of his energy and he had to wait a few moments until he could get himself to move again. Swinging his feet over the edge of the bed, then standing up on his weak legs. His bare feet hitting the floor and the sleep pants he wore suddenly felt inadequate against the air conditioning.
The room was cold and he had to stop and catch his breath. Tsunade had explained his condition to him, saying that his heart was not functioning normally and that it could not handle a stressing load. He could not work out, or strain it in any way and he was going to feel the difference if he started to move around, he would be weaker, from the lack of proper blood flow.
He was panting, holding his chest and the railing on the bed, not sure if his legs were going to hold him or not. Closing his dark eyes, the image that had plagued his dreams drifted back to him.
Naruto was laying lifeless on the cement as feet thundered by. Sometimes it looked like he was asleep and sometimes he looked like he had just been ripped up by the snake again. But wether he was bloody or not did not matter, the worse part was the lack of motion, of life.
“No. I have to see him.”
Gritting his teeth, he stepped away from the bed and grabbed a large shirt from the cabinet next to the door out. Pulling it on and stepping out, not hesitating to use his sharingan to stop the nurses that had tried to rush over to stop him.
He was still in ICU and there was not that many other people in the ward. All of whom should be tucked in to bed by now. Visiting hours were long over and the moon shown through the windows in the waiting room.
Making his way to the elevator and punching the call button, Sasuke leaned against the wall, sweat trickling down his face from the short walk. The dull throb in his chest having gotten worse from his short use of his sharingan.
There was the ‘bing’ and the doors opened.
Forcing himself to move again, he stepped in to the elevator and as the doors started to close he spotted a cart loaded down with supplies. The nurses must of been in the middle of restocking when he stepped out of his room. Hitting the door open button , then the hold button so that the elevator would not leave with out him, he ventured back to grab a few needed items from the cart.
Returning to the elevator he thumbed the close button then the one for the secured ward in the sub basement.
Sasuke was panting from the minor exertion and his chest hurt, his pants of breath clouding up the metal elevator door he was leaning on. There was a piece of him that wanted to just curl up and sleep. Drop kicking the thought out of his head, he threw his head back and caught a glimpse of himself in the shiny metal of the elevator door.
He needed another hair cut, his black mane had grown out and he was suffering from a bad case of bed head. Running his fingers through the tangled mess, pausing to watch his hand shake. Not from withdrawal for once, but from improper circulation.
Looking back in to his distorted reflection he noticed how ghostly pale he was and the dark circles around his eyes.
There was the ‘bing’ as the door opened and slowly he made his way out of the elevator. Having to use sharingan again on the guard, the raven haired teen winced and grabbed his chest as the stab of pain worked its way through him.
His already weak legs trying and give out on him.
Reaching out so he could lean on the wall as he panted and groaned, sweat dripping off of him as he waited for the pain to recede enough for him to move again.
He was going to see Naruto. He did not care how much it hurt, it was his fault the blond was like this and he was going to see him, god damn it. He still had a few thing to say to the dobe and he was not going to let some small thing like pain get in his way.
Fisting the cloth of the large shirt over his heart, he snarled as he got his feet moving again. Taking the key from the unconscious guard and letting himself in to the ward. Knowing with out even having to read the name on the door, that Naruto was in the room with the containment seals placed all around it.
The white paper and calligraphy, announcing the blonds location better than a ten foot sign.
Solemnly he sorted through the keys on the ring he had taken from the guard, finding the one that matched the door and opening it.
The light from the hall way shown the form that laid on the bed and the thousands of seals that covered the walls. Stepping in to the room, Sasuke turned on the lights and looked over Naruto.
He looked like he was sleeping, a deep sleep, that at any moment he could wake up from and yell at him for tuning the overhead lights on. But he never moved.
Closing the door behind him, the last Uchiha pulled out the supplies he had acquired from the cart. The metal tray of scalpels fresh from the cleaner, opening the tray they had been cleaned in and removing a handful of the sharp, shiny objects.
Slamming one after another in to the door at an angle, effectively nailing the door shut. Dropping the last few he held as the pain returned to his chest. His hand was buried in to the fabric that covered his chest over his heart and he leaned forward to rest his head against the door.
The cool wood of the solid door pressing against his sweat soaked forehead. He could feel the off beat in his heart pounding in his head, echoing off the door and the pain from pushing his heart to work to hard to soon, was making his legs turn to jell-O.
Turning so his back was pressed against the door he again looked at the sleeping form on the bed.
The bright lights shining off the golden hair that was brushed out, probably by Tsunade. The tan glow of Narutos skin showing that the rest was doing him good.
Sasuke let out a shaky breath as he watched the dobe sleep.
The secure ward was underground to prevent the patients from jumping out a window and escaping. The door was of solid wood for the same reason and for all the security measures to make sure that people could not get out, it also meant that it would be hard to get in.
Putting one last scalpel through the door and jam as a nail, the raven haired teen approached the bed.
Tsunde had run every test there was to try and find out if there was anything that could be done for Naruto. All came back negative.
The only thing she did not try and would not try, was to send someone with a mind jutsu in to see what was left. It would anger the already pissed off demon, putting the person face to face with the beast and Tsunade would not risk it.
He did not blame her, Kyuubi was a monster worthy of the title demon, but he had faced the creature and lived. Besides, he did not have to go in to Narutos head to speak to the fox, he still had the summoning contract with the demon.
It was a risk, a big one. But he had to know if Naruto could come back, could wake up.
The dobe would not want to live like this, connected to machines and inactive for the rest of however long he lived. No, Naruto would not want to be cramped up in this windowless room, not even able to feel the sun. And the bastards would keep him here, the elders were scared of the fox and would not take any chances to let Kyuubi out again.
Sasuke stood at the bed side, looking down at the scarred face.
Reaching out and running his pale hand through the golden hair, he gently ran his thumb against the back shell of a ear.
He knew what the fox liked, knew what the fox would do if he had the chance.
But still he had to know.
He had to know if there was anything left of his friend.
Bringing his hand down to cup the side of Narutos face, he ran his thumb across the rosy lips.
He had to know if there was anything he could do to bring him back.
Leaning down and nearly screaming from the pain that shot through his chest and back, he steadied his breathing and kissed the blond. Feeling the warmth of the lips but also the abject unresponsiveness.
Pulling away, Sasuke groaned as he straitened, once again burying his hand in to the fabric above his heart, like pressing on his cracked sternum could make the pain stop.
Slowly the pain faded back to a tolerable level and he pulled up Narutos shirt, uncovering the tan stomach and the fresh seal.
The ink still looked wet, that if he touched it, it would smear.
Gently he ran his finger along one of the faded scares the seal was over and felt the warmth that Naruto always seemed to be expelling. Pulling his hand away, Sasuke ran through the seals of the summoning jutsu, pulling forth any chakra that was left in his system then set his hand on the blonds navel.
There was no pop, no cloud of smoke to let him know if it worked, just a growl as he was slapped across the room to hit the door with a thud then slid down to lay on the floor.
Spots danced in his vision, the thick, choking red chakra filling the room and making it hard for him to concentrate on willing the pain away.
Clawed hands grabbed the collar of his shirt and he could not stop the grunt of pain as he was pulled forward to be eye to eye with the demon that was still in Narutos form. Crouching and growling, every action reeking of poorly hid killing intention.
He could feel the rage washing off the beast. The loathing and hatred giving the cackling chakra a impossibly hostile edge to it. All he could see were the sharp fangs and the snarling lips, the red eyes and broad marks on the cheeks that he had only moments before, caressed.
Kyuubi was studying him, waiting for him to do something and when he did not do any thing, the beast roared and slammed his claw tipped fist in to the side of his face knocking him back to hit the door before falling in to a heap on the floor.
Sasuke could taste the blood from his split lip and feel the still red hot pain from his eye and cheek as claws once again grabbed his shirt. Pulling him up to face the fox that had just bruised the entire left side of his face.
“What do you want, whelp?”
The deep, venomous voice making him shutter, not out of fear but from the barely contained rage that made it seem like Kyuubi was asking how he would like to die.
But he had expected this, the fox would be angry at being sealed again, but it did not change the fact that Kyuubi was the only one that knew what was left of Naruto.
“Bring Naruto back.”
The beast roared, slamming him in to the door and Sasuke saw white as his back hit the solid wood, then gagged as the clawed hand moved up from his collar to grab his neck with a vice like grip.
Kyuubi watched, bemused at the weak struggles of the raven haired teen as he choked him. The pale hands trying to pry his own off the neck and the harsh sounds as he gasped for air. Grinning as the dark eyes started to roll up and the pale hands fell away, the fox let go of the pale throat. Letting Sasuke slump to the floor as color slowly returned to the teens face.
“Bring him back Kyuubi dono, please bring him back.”
Growling, the fox threw Sasuke across the room hearing the thump as he hit the side of the bed.
He was supposed to be scared of him, be begging for his life, not to bring the blond back. It was bad enough to be trapped inside a human, but to be asked to help them. No demon would ever sink that low.
Stalking over to pale human, growling the entire time, Kyuubi grabbed the teens arm and jerked him around so the ignorant human could see his face.
Sasuke did not scream, it hurt to much to scream so he just laid still as the beast jerked him around so that he was looking in to the blood red eyes. There was no compassion, no understanding or feelings. Just rage and hate, anger and loathing, he had been a fool to think the demon would help him.
But Kyuubi was still the only one that could tell him if Naruto could wake up. If there was anything left of the blond idiot.
Kyuubi was crouching over him, the fox seemed to like that position and the Uchiha pulled out every last snippet of information he had ever heard about foxes and demons.
Canine, sneaky, Kyuubi was the strongest of all the demons, dominate, alpha male, horny.
Hands shaking as he came to his conclusion, Sasuke forced himself to lean up and lick the underside of the foxes throat, whispering as he pulled away.
“You can do whatever you want to me, I’ll let you, I’ll do what you say, just bring him back.”
Nearly screaming as the clawed hands shoved him back to the floor.
“If I wanted your ass, I would of taken it.”
Sasuke heard the harsh voice and the condescending tone, but also the hint of amusement. The demon would never just give him what he wanted, Kyuubi would have to be bribed and the only thing of his that the fox wanted, was his rear.
“Besides, what makes you think that there is anything left of the human to bring back?”
The beast leaned forward a little, pressing on Sasukes chest and the raven haired teen could not hide the pained groan.
“You sound like a bitch in heat, whore. You want me to fuck you, fuck you in to the floor, fuck you until cum leaks out of your mouth from taking so many loads in the ass.”
The beast was taunting him, playing with his trapped prey and all Sasuke could do was grimace as the fox controlling Narutos body, pulled the sleep pants off and presented him with Narutos hardening dick.
“Suck it, bitch.”
He had known what the fox wanted from him, had known that Kyuubi would not hold back, but it did not make it any easier to take the organ in to his mouth. Not when he was panting from the pain in his chest and when the fox grabbed the back of his head forcing him to sit up, straining his chest, white spots appeared in his vision and he thought he would pass out. Still, somehow, he managed to give head to the swiftly hardening shaft in his mouth, his pained groans only making it feel better to the beast.
As soon as the cock was fully hard the demon pulled away and Sasuke let himself sink back to laying on the floor, panting from the pain in his chest. Not fighting as the clawed hands grabbed him and flipped him over, arranging him so that he was on his hands and knees, then pulling his sleep pants down so that the cool air nipped at his nether regions.
He was still panting, hands shaking from the bad blood flow when he felt the warmth of the demon press against his butt, then back side, as Kyuubi positioned himself over him, the shaft he had brought to it’s glorious twitching hardness, pressing in between his cheeks.
“Your going to take it like a good bitch, your going to moan and scream for me to fuck you over and over, like the slut you are.”
The hot puffs of the demons breath hit the back of Sasukes neck right before fangs plunged in to his nape and the engorged member pushed in to his unprepared hole.
Not having enough strength left in him to scream, all he could do was groan as the beast started to move, not letting him adjust to the intrusion. He tried to get a wider stance so the muscles would not be compressed, but the sleep pants were around his knees and would not let him shift to ease the pain.
Sasuke could feel his odd heart beat in his fingers and ears and concentrated on that. Pushing the pain in his rear and neck out of his focus, crying out only when Kyuubi thrust brutally deep. The hot clawed hands roaming over his still clothed chest as the beast leaned on him for balance as he thrust. Kyuubi shifted then wrapped his arms around Sasuke’s chest holding him tightly as he picked up the pace.
Sasuke was no longer able to feel the thrusts or the fangs, just the arms holding his chest, the pounding of his heart speeding up, sending an intense pain through out his body.
Grimacing as he forced himself to stay on his hands and knees and not fall to the floor as it became harder to breath. He had to do this, he had to get the demon to bring Naruto back. The beast had not said that he would do it, but he had to find out, he had to try. Kyuubi could and would fuck him either way, so he had to make it worth it to the fox to bring the blond back.
Rocking his hips back to meet the beasts thrusts, he felt the fangs pull out of the nape of his neck then lips grazing the tender flesh.
“That’s a good slut. Now make some noise bitch.”
Shuttering at the harsh voice, and at the hands that drifted south to grab his flaccid dick, stoking it roughly. Making a fist against the cool tiles under him, Sasuke let out a forced moan as he pushed back from the hand on his cock, impaling himself further on to the demons erection.
His pride was screaming at him for these traitorous things he was doing, but he just had to remember Naruto to make it shut up.
The blond was worth the degradation the fox was putting him through.
The dobe was worth the pain from his chest that had spread to his arms.
He felt the thrusts speed up again and he tried to match the beasts rhythm making the pain in his chest worse from the exertion.
His vision was blurring and he could feel his arms giving out, still he forced himself to move with Kyuubi as the pace became erratic as the fox neared his orgasm.
His heart was beating to fast as the beast roared and slammed in to him, grabbing him tightly around the chest as he came.
Then it stopped.
The beating in his ears and fingers, the pain in his chest, the alarming inability to take a deep breath.
Sasukes vision blurred then turned to black as his hearts lower chambers quivered rather tha pumped blood.
Kyuubi snarled at the limp form now laying under him. The brat was supposed to giving him what he wanted; a good lay. Pulling out, the fox grabbed the teens shoulder and rolled him over. Eyes going wide as he sensed the fluctuations in the brats heart. The quivering slowing down as the muscle was denied oxygen from Sasuke’s lack of breathing.
The fox was still straddling the teens legs and the beast growled as he felt the brats neck for his pulse.
Kyuubi had let countless people die under him from his version of mating. Not one of the encounters bothered him. In fact he had made a mental note that mating was the equivalent of him killing someone. The results were the same in most cases.
Still as he looked over the Sasuke brat a odd feeling swelled in his chest. Feeling’s were odd in themselves. Normally he was limited to generalized feelings; something felt good, or it felt bad. Everything else was a form of rage, hate, loathing, or was classified as a pointless feeling, deemed disgusting and worthless.
So this weird tightness in his chest was confusing. It was a feeling, an emotion he was sure of it, but even his rage did not produce the odd swelling feeling in his chest, or the twittering of his stomach.
What was wrong with him?
Looking over this whelp, this annoying human that had brought out the disgusting emotion that he was now feeling, Kyuubi saw the blue lips and the to pale skin. Making the his chest feel tighter than before.
What was this?
He wanted to get the brat to breath, get his heart to beat, he wanted to save the damn human. This feeling must be something powerful to make him, the most powerful of all the tailed demons, want to save someone instead of killing them.
That fact alone made him want to shove it down inside of him and ignore it. Demons do not save people, they kill them. But for some inexplicable reason he liked the way this human looked with his cum leaking out of his ass. He liked the brats smell and fighting sprit, he liked the sounds he made when he was being fucked and his loyalty to his friend, doing whatever he had to, to save Naruto when he did not even know if there was anything left to save.
And for some reason it made his chest tight to see Sasuke on the floor like he was.
Growling as he shook the blond mop of hair his container body sported, the mighty fox gave in to the odd feeling. Charging his hand with his chakra, Kyuubi set it over Sasuke’s weak and quivering heart, letting the charge go.
Seeing the pale body lurch, but not feeling a beet under his fingers the fox charged his hand and focused the charge, making it more powerful than the first and sent it to the faulty organ.
This time the quivering muscles stopped and restarted a more normal rhythm. Very weakly, but much better then before. Still crouched over the raven haired teen, the demon saw Sasuke take shallow breath, then another.
The solid door shook and the beast turned in time to see one of the scalpels fall to the floor. He had sensed the presence of the humans on the other side for some time now, but this was the first time they had tried to get in. They must of felt Sasuke’s life signs go out and were now trying to save him.
A surge of anger and possessiveness washed over the demon. The whelp was his, to save, to kill, to fuck. Dragging his claw tipped fingers through the black main, the beast snarled. He still had no idea what this god awful feeling was that the human had triggered.
Possessiveness, he was used to that, but not wanting to kill the brat, wanting to see him alive and ok. That was new, that was strange and he did not like it. His chest still felt tight, his stomach still twittered and his hand was still running through the black strands.
He did not understand why he felt warm next to him or why he smiled when Sasuke groaned and pressed against his hand that was still running through his hair.
He wanted to blame Naruto, that brat was the cause of so many of his problems, but he was not able to be part of this. The blond whelp was still shattered in his head. He had gathered up all the pieces he could before being locked away in the cage when they resealed him. He had most of Narutos psyche locked in his cage with him. Each fragment a memory and the emotion’s that it evoked.
He had tried to put it back together, if he was going to be stuck in a lifeless body for the rest of his life he might as well have some company, but every time he added the parts that contained the past years memories, the kid would brake back down, fragmenting the pieces again.
He did notice that the pieces were slowly merging back together on there own, that the fragments were larger now then when it had first shattered. So he left the kid to do it himself and for some odd reason he could not figure out, the pieces that were memories of Sasuke, were merging together faster that all the others. In fact they were the pieces that were gluing everything back together.
And the tightness in his chest made him want to put Naruto back togeather so he could see Sasuke smile as well. He wanted to rush the process and get the kid back so he could see this whelp more.
He did not know why, it just, he just wanted to see Sasuke.
The pounding on the door removed more scalpels, when the other humans made in to here, he would be locked back up in Naruto. Unable to see what was going on around his hosts body. The only way out was for Sasuke to use the summoning jutsu and he would not use it unless he wanted to try and get him to bring Naruto back.
Stroking the side of the raven haired teens face, the sly old fox grinned as he figured out a way to not have to return to the cage in Narutos body.
The new seal would not let him form his real body, so when summoned he had to use the one available. He would be sent back in to his cage if he was forced back by Sasuke ending the jutsu or when he ran out of chakra to maintain his control.
He had plenty of chakra and if Sasuke did not know it was him...
It was Narutos body after all and he had all of the brats memories to go through and get the proper responses from. He could just pretend to be the blond kid, Sasuke wanted Naruto around so he would be able to stay next to him and find out why the hell he was feeling something other than rage for once.
Chuckling as he forced his chakra down and brought out the minuscule amount of Narutos chakra. Forcing the claws away and turning his eyes blue, making the lines on his face return to normal so that he looked like what the blond brat was supposed to look like.
Quickly cleaning himself off and pulling on the sleep pants he had discarded then returning to Sasuke’s side to do the same to him. Running through the blonds memories and figuring out how Naruto would act in this situation, he reached down and grabbed Sasukes shoulders. Pulling the dark haired teen up so he was leaning against his chest and holding on to him, letting tears roll down his face.
The door was abruptly kicked in and he winced like Naruto would of, looking up at the startled face of the blond woman with large breasts Naruto remembered as Tsunade. Flinching as she held he arms out to him and letting out a sob as he held Sasuke tighter.
Naruto was traumatized and had lost his trust for other people. The demon had to remember that, had to remember that the blond kid was not the most powerful of the people gathered here and was frightened.
So when the woman wrapped her arms around him, he let out a squeak of terror and froze, getting her to let him go. Then he let the woman take Sasuke from him and give the raven haired teen to the waiting medic-nins. He did not want to let Sasukes leave his side, but he knew that the teen need help.
Watching as the raven haired whelp was carried out, staying sitting on the floor, he felt Tsunade kneel down next to him and wrapped her arms around him again.
“It’s alright Naruto, I’m not going to hurt you. Your safe here. Don’t worry we’ll save Sasuke.”
His face was pushed against the soft flesh of her chest and her hand was running down his back in a soothing way. Slowly Kyuubi let his borrowed body relax as he pretended to get over his terror and listen to the soft reassurances the woman was whispering to him. Hearing her voice crack and the wetness from her tears on his shoulder.
Tears were yet another human enigma to him, but one he had no desire to find out about.
Burying his face in to the ample chest, he held on to the side of the blond women’s clothing and pretended to cry. Making his breathing uneven and letting the annoying tears fall from his eyes, hiding his smile at tricking them.
