Circles

‘This is the story of a demon and a human who had fallen in love with each other, the fox spirit and the village doctor.’

It was dark in that room, so dark, that even the light coming from the moon’s rays in the sky outside of the window was not enough to illuminate the whole room. The only thing it was able to keep visible, was the stone bricks making up the wall and frame of the window, the cold smooth floor, and the lithe figure dressed in no more than a loose white silken robe sitting on a divan beside the window.

His elbow was prodded against the ledge of the window while he rested his jaw against the palm of his hand, his other hand on his lap and eyes bright blue gazing up at the sky. His expression so blank that it was unreadable.

He never minded the cold wind biting against his skin, he didn’t even mind the suffocating darkness as if just in the verge of swallowing him whole. He was waiting for his lover to come back, just as he always did in all the other nights, but this was one of the nights, which hurt him the most and kept him sleepless till his arrival, because he was so alone and longs for the warmth of his lover, to be in his arms was absolute comfort and security.

‘The fox spirit secretly admired the human who was the doctor in the village. Watching him from afar and being contented in just being able to observe him whenever the doctor would visit his forest to gather some herbs.’

The sun rose, reached its peak and settled down, giving way for the night sky. Until the moon was up above in its self same position, the willowy figure never moved from his position near the window. Below there was a lake framed by tall pine trees and such, mirroring completely on what was above, the sky, the bright full moon and the tall tower where he was gazing from above. He never got tired, for there was only one person in his mind all the time. One thought.

“Where are you, Sasuke?” The blonde sighed, looking at the reflection of the tower in the lake.

‘One day, while the fox spirit was busy watching the doctor pull out various shrubs and herbs from a certain area in the forest, a little newt suddenly landed on his lap. He shouted and panicked, revealing himself from behind the bushes, and in doing so, injuring himself at the same time. The doctor although confused as to why someone of such distinguished features was spying on him, volunteered to take care of the wound, despite the spirit’s protests who was in his human form then.’

Days have passed, and still his loved one didn’t arrive. But he never got tired, because he knew that Sasuke will always come back.

A loud bang startled the blonde, almost making him jump and fall off the divan out of surprise. His body suddenly hurt all over, and skitters of electricity were crawling everywhere that he could feel. But then it was worth it, because when he finally had the composure to look, there was Sasuke by the door in his sleek black suit and tie.

“Sasuke!” The blonde called out, ignoring the pain in his legs and the weariness he felt of not being able to sleep in days. His chest was filled with joy, but as he ran towards the indifferent man with a blank expression, his steps suddenly slowed, before they finally halted. And his eyes sought out the faces hidden in the shadows of the figures behind his lover. Dread suddenly overcame him.

‘The fox spirit was overwhelmed with happiness, for the doctor was very kind, despite knowing of his bad reputation among the villagers. He looked forward more to the days at the end of the week, where he would wait at the place where they first met and help him gather medicinal herbs. Until the doctor didn’t go to the forest because of medicinal herbs anymore, but because of the fact, that he himself wanted to see that beautiful human more.’

“Sasuke?” Naruto took a step back, hands going close to his chest by reflex as Sasuke stepped forward inside the room, followed by three other men.

“Here he is.” Sasuke regarded a red haired man with brown eyes who put out a slight smirk while looking the blonde up and down, he licked his lips, feeling his throat go dry at the sight in front of him.

“Well, well, looks like we won’t have any difficulty doing this trade.” A man with dark and longish hair and the tallest of the group crossed his arms and leaned on the frame of the door, doing the same thing that the brunette did with his eyes.

“What’s your name little boy?” The man with ashen white hair and weird contacts was the one who walked straight towards him. The blonde never had the time to gather his composure and step back, his chin was grabbed by rough and pale fingers, lifting his face up to gaze at those white menacing eyes. He gritted his teeth and snapped his head to the side, inching away even further with a defensive glare.

“Ooh, feisty.” The dark haired man let out a low guttural laugh, it had Naruto feeling shivers of disgust run down his spine. His eyes were a sickly green but because of the scarcity of illumination, with the lamp Sasuke was holding, it looked yellowish, making it look more disgusting than it already was.

“Sasuke?” Naruto called out again, panic and confusion evident in his voice. Who were these men? No matter what the angle they didn’t look the part of a good friend, they dressed the same as Sasuke’s, so were they business associates? But what motive did they have that Sasuke allowed them to come meet him? He was never allowed to go out, and he was fine with just that, he was fine with waiting for Sasuke. He was fine with not going outside and not meeting people, all he wanted was Sasuke. So who were these people!?

‘What the doctor wanted, was for him to not have a reason anymore to go and see the beautiful human with startling blue eyes, what he wanted was to tell straight to that person’s face, that he just wanted to see him. Not because of the herbs, or because he was lonely and wanted someone to talk to. He wanted to be his lover.’

“You were keeping this cute little kid all to yourself up until now? Jesus you’re really sick!”

“I don’t want to hear that from you, Orochimaru.” Sasuke narrowed his eyes on a snickering Orochimaru as he put the oil lamp down on the bedside table, lighting the king sized four poster bed curtained with white and red.

“No electricity, nor books, nor any kind of entertainment. In the middle of nowhere. He must love you enough to endure all this.” The ashen haired man said, taking a seat on the bed. The blonde glared at his rudeness, not liking the fact of having their private space invaded by others.

“Jealous, Nagato?”

“Why would I be, when I have my own harem in my place Sasori. Still, his appearance pretty much takes up the whole worth of them. His looks are common, even simple. But somehow… looking at him…”

‘When the doctor confessed, he was heartbroken. For the creature said that they could never be, that he would probably hate him if he knew just how ugly he was.’

Orochimaru without any word grabbed the panicking blonde by the elbow in a bruising grip, at the same time walking towards the bed and tugging his tie. Throwing it to one side and not caring where it landed, he started for the buttons after as he pushed the squirming male to the bed. Nagato started to undress as well ignoring the movements on the bed because of the blonde’s struggling from Orochimaru while Sasori just remained on his perch by the door, looking amused.

“Sasuke! Sasuke! Help!!!” Naruto cried out as he fought for his robe from Orochimaru, the only piece of clothing covering his whole pearl complexioned body. His knees bent and straightened trying to prevent Orochimaru from straddling him, the sash of his robe successfully removed and thrown aside however his hands were prevented of any movement when Nagato now completely naked shifted over his head and grabbed his wrists together above him.

The blonde shouted for Sasuke’s name, over and over as he bucked off the bed repeatedly and twisted his body this way and that. Fear and anticipation of what was to come zipping up and down his spine. But Orochimaru encircled his palm around one ankle of the foot that had threatened to hit him on the face, he smirked, yellowish teeth and pink tongue visible even in the dim light as he pinned that ankle back to the bed and gripped the other by the thigh to slam it to the bed.

“Such perfect skin…” The dark haired man hissed through gritted teeth surveying the blonde whose squirming and struggling had lessened but never the less still trying. He was sobbing by now, chest heaving up and down as he shook while his mouth continued to produce a jumbled version of Sasuke’s name. He squeezed his eyes shut, muscles constricting with tension as a cold clammy hand ran up slowly from his ankle to his knee, squeezing the soft slender limb as it made its way up the inside of his thigh.

He bit his lip barely suppressing a gasp, feeling himself shiver at the contact and his movements stop still to concentrate on not reacting to the tempting touch.

“Now, now… calm down…” A low moan escaped him when he felt the tips of each silky strand of dark hair brush his side and warm air bath his flaccid cock, letting him know Orochimaru was hovering his head over his hips. The tight grip over his wrists loosened, until the pressure lost completely to be replaced by calloused palms rubbing the underside of his stretched arms soothingly.

He tilted his head back, his buttocks digging down the mattress as he suppressed the urge to arch his back.

“Sasuke… Sasuke… I don’t want to… make them stop… make them stop…” He squeaked in so small a voice. Whether the man heard or not, nobody could tell, for he remained there beside Sasori to watch the whole scene continue as the blonde started to calm down, his body betraying him. Naruto threw his head back, opening his mouth wide as a high guttural moan tore from his throat as a hot mouth enveloped the head of his sex. His elbows dug on the mattress when another mouth lapped on his jaw down the crook of his neck to his chest while two pairs of hands continued to rub soothingly on the underside of his stretched out arms and separated thighs.

Sasuke is watching.

Sasuke is letting this happen.

Sasuke wants this.

So therefore I should let them, because I do not want to upset Sasuke.

“A-ah-hhh…” A shivering gasp escaped him, drops of tears starting to flow down his temples trying to contain the pleasure wracking through his body. From above his head Nagato bent down to place abrupt, hovering kisses on his chest, flicking a tongue on a dusky pink nipple to suck on the skin down the center of the abdomen. He clawed his hands on the sheets, hips rolling against the bed in response to Orochimaru slowly taking his cock all the way down to the base and then swallowing, that heavenly feeling making him moan wantonly, the pleasured sound echoing in the room.

Until his own hips were bucking into the tight heat of that talented mouth, his abdomen tensing because of Nagato’s tongue making swirling movements with its tip and then sucking hard on various places while he tweaked and played with his thumbs the perk nipples. The blonde’s mind going blank, but only one name remained etched in his mind, jumbled words escaping his mouth, the same and the only one.

His breathing slowly became heavier, he panted, Orochimaru’s hand squeezing and tugging on the base of his cock while he swirled a long tongue over the head, sometimes running them up and down the slit, darting his tongue in it. A thick thumb went inside his mouth to separate pinkish lips, glazed eyes becoming visible through half lids in question of the movement.

A full erect cock hovered above him, and his tongue went out of his mouth to brush against the underside of it reflexively. The blonde’s hand went to loosely brace on a firm hip, the other wrapping around the base of a thick cock. Tongue continuing to lap on its underside from base to tip as a soft hand squeezed and stroke its base, pushing through the curls, oblivious to the sound the ashen haired man was making. The head made its way inside his mouth, the walls closing in he gave light sucks alternately swirling his tongue around it and taking it in and out while he did to that cock what that hot mouth was doing on his own.

“Ah… yeah… shit he’s good…” Nagato said through gritted teeth, controlling the sudden urge to come as the slit of his head continued to hit the back of the blonde’s throat. His hands were braced on the blonde’s sides, Orochimaru’s bobbing head in front of him.

The blonde moaned loudly through the cock in his mouth, toes digging into the mattress while Orochimaru’s hands kept the slender hips pasted on the bed. He swallowed, throat constricting as the tongue made firm circles on the underside of the engorged flesh, head hitting the inner walls of the cheek as the mouth took a little more in of the hard shaft.

With a raw cry Nagato lost control, shoving his erection fully inside the mouth as the thick hot liquid squirted down and burned the blonde’s throat. Naruto in turn tensed, a heavy ball of pressure slowly uncurling at the pit of his stomach as he shivered and came inside the dark haired man's mouth. He inhaled through the nose as he took in all of the cum coming out of the ashen haired man, continuing to suck it as if begging for more. Orochimaru took all of the blonde’s cum in his mouth, drinking the half of it, but the last drops he contained in his mouth.

The two were speechless for a while as they tried to regain their strength fom the onslaught of their own orgasms, shaking as they did. Nagato pulled himself out of the blonde’s mouth and leaned his back on one of the thick posts of the bed slightly wasted. When he finally regained the coherence to talk, his mouth curled up into a lazy smirk eyeing Orochimaru who was flipping the half-lidded blonde to lie on his stomach.

“Hmm… You never struck me as the type to be generous Orochimaru.” Just as he finished saying that, the dark-haired man spat the rest of the cum he contained in his mouth to the puckered entrance of the blonde, having pulled the thin hips up.

“Only because I’ll have better fuck than you.” He said this, licking the cum dripping from his lips to his chin as he inserted a finger without any preamble. Naruto still shivering from the orgasm earlier that was still not subsiding only grunted faintly at the intrusion, only panting as he let the other’s ministrations.

“Hmm… haven’t fucked for a while huh?”

“He’s totally out of it.” Nagato said, glancing at the dull blue half-lidded orbs of the blonde. “Got high from a blow job, that’s really something. Oi! Sasori!” The man called out to the redhead. “Don’t tell me you just came here to watch!?” He said almost tauntingly, noting, even in scarce light, the outline of his erection in the constrictions of the redhead’s pants.

“I prefer them nice and fresh Nagato. Maybe next time.”

“Don’t you mean, confirm the goods first. Sasori?”

“AH!” A scream tore out of the blonde as two other fingers joined the first one, impatience getting the better of Orochimaru.

“Of course. Since even with Uchiha’s wealth right now. I find it hard to believe that it’s because of that ‘thing’ you’re fucking to the bed that it happened.” Sasori replied with a calm and clinical voice, his doubts not betrayed by his voice or expression.

“Still, even if we don’t get rich. It’s enough compensation.” Orochimaru grinned, having heard the gasp from the blonde through the conversation as he twisted his fingers while continuing to thrust them in. Willowy long fingers brushing against a nub inside the clenching and unclenching inner walls knowingly.

“But say, if we really do get rich, half of that will go to the bastard over there. It’s not like we got rich at all.” Nagato smirked at Sasuke who remained quiet for all the time that they were talking, or fucking.

“Not everything’s for free. An agreement is an agreement. After all.” When Sasuke finally talked there were steps silently approaching from no doubt the stairwell outside, and a man similar in height and features emerged from the opened door.

“Uchiha-sama pardon the intru--” The man trailed off, eyes growing wide with every syllable that escaped his lips as he took in the sight in front of him. “Sasuke! What’s the meaning of this!?”

Sasori cocked an eyebrow at the change of the address to the first name basis, as if the man beside him shouting at the CEO and president of VOID group of companies had every right to do that. Had there been guards he’d had been shot just for intruding.

“What is it, Sai.” Sasuke rolled bored black eyes to the side to regard the angered man who had walked beside him, the manilla folder in the man’s hand being wrinkled because of pressure.

“What are you doing to him!?” Sai pointed a shaking finger to the bed, his whole body trembling with fury.

“Nothing.”

“You know that’s not what I meant!--”

“Aaah!” A moan let the panicked man switch his piercing gaze from the man to his master, feeling pity and anger boil inside him at the sight of him being violated against his will. Orochimaru had thrust into him relentless of the additional presence in the dark chamber. The longish haired man watched at the place where they were with an excited grin as the head of his sex was slowly being engulfed by the surrounding flesh, hissing at the intense warmth and the twitching inner walls. His thighs quivered and shook more from the strain of suppressing the urge to come right out as his balls pressed hard against the ass cheeks.

His body was not his own, as was his heart and soul, for he had given it already to the undeserving person standing just beside Sai.

“What your doing is not right! How could you—stomach to see him like that! Have you no feelings for him!?” Sasuke only ignored his little brother’s outburst, apathetic to anything and anyone, he shrugged, taking a seat on one of the chairs beside the door.

“Why are you hurting him like this!?” At that he slowly turned to Sai’s direction, seeing strong emotions cross the younger raven’s face.

“He doesn’t seem to look hurt.” Sasuke then turned to Sasori. “Sasori. Does he look hurt to you?”

“From the sounds he’s making, I doubt it.” The redhead smirked as he continued to watch Orochimaru ram his cock in and out of the blonde with such strength the heavy wooden bed was starting to shake. Pale long hands locked onto thin fragile looking hips in a bruising grip, pushing them away and pulling roughly in haste as he slammed back into that tight gripping heat. It was heady, and the air was so thick and musky making it hard to draw air to barely resting lungs as they panted for air. With every thrust the blonde let out a pleasured shout and without pulling out, Orochimaru turned Naruto to lie on the side and. The hot sheatht twisting around the cock stimulating the sensitized prostate even more. He embraced the blonde’s thigh as he resumed to pound into him, Naruto clutching at the sheets above him.

“So, Sai. Does he look like he’s hurting?” Sai could only remain quiet, the words were caught in his throat and he plastered his gaze on the floor, wanting to put his hands on either side of his ears to keep himself from hearing the delirious pleasured sounds from the blonde, but never had the strength to do it, knowing the sounds would still filter through his hands. Still he couldn't help but feel tight guilt slowly settled on his guts, twisting it painfully at the awareness of his own arousal at hearing the blonde's voice sound in such erotic ways.

Orochimaru slowly leaned down the blonde until the slender thigh was pressing against a shaking arm, he braced both hands on either side of Naruto and with a quick draw thrust back with more violent intensity reaching much deeper into him, invoking a scream of surprise and pleasure from the abused throat burning as the blonde fought for air, chest heaving hard. Long dark hair splayed with fair strands on the sheets of the bed, sweat and hot breath intermingling with the other's sharing space and everything around them save for privacy.

“Who is he?” Nagato asked, jerking his head to Sai’s direction.

“My little brother. Pardon the rudeness. Forgive him, he has a lot of issues.”

‘Heartbroken, the doctor did not return to the forest anymore. And the fox spirit continued to gaze him from afar. Silently mourning for the coming wedding of his beloved doctor to the village leader’s daughter.’

“You have a little brother!? That’s new…” Nagato snorted, seeing the physical similarities… and the differences. As cold and calculating as he could be, he’s not an idiot to not see how Sai cared so much for Sasuke’s lover, thinking about it, even he found Sasuke much crueler than him, which was a feat in itself. The guy’s like a walking statue, like a hollow eggshell. He shrugged, not his problem. Even though he’s bi, he pretty much leaned on the women seventy percent, he just tried it out for the sake of money. Although with what the blonde was showing now, he could feel a slowly growing tightness on the pit of his stomach.

“We’re not blood related. He’s just some street punk Naruto picked up. Some…” Sasuke tilted his head, eyes thoughtful for a second. “Fifteen years ago.”

“More than a decade? Uchiha are you kidding? Blondie here doesn’t even look old enough to drink.” Nagato chuckled, his laugh drowning from the sounds coming from the pair in the center of the bed. Orochimaru was panting obscenities already, the thrusts becoming irregular but stronger as the short conversation continued.

As the cries from their final orgasms lingered inside the chamber, Sai finally heaved a sigh, relief slowly coming down on him and at the same time bitterness and hurt at the stoic man sitting on the couch. He was called there to report for Sasuke, and reluctantly he did so amidst the erotic sounds coming from the two on the bed. The words working past his lips barely registered on his head, it had come to the point where the letters hit his brain, formed a word, went past his mouth and then totally forgot the previous one once the next set of letters came in.

“Fuck… fuck…” Orochimaru panted, pulling out on the blonde already starting to pass out on the bed. After he took him earlier, Nagato was next and then lusting for more he took him again. He just couldn’t get enough of the blonde teen under him. Still no matter who, only one name came out of the blonde's mouth, and it belonged to the nonchalant raven seated on the couch skimming through documents with his knee resting over the other.

“Look at all that, have you been storing them for good use until now Orochimaru?” Nagato said in a mocking voice, eyeing the large amount of cum dripping out of the blonde’s pinkish hole that was slightly swelling to pool on the sheet between the blonde’s thighs.

“I should say the same thing to you.” Orochimaru growled climbing out of the bed to hastily pick up his clothes from the carpeted floor, leaving the blonde whose legs were sprawled around him exposing everything. He was late for his meeting, and Nagato had already bathed and dressed. He had no time, he was going to have to shower in his pad.

“Sai.”

“Yes…” Sasuke slowly stood up from his seat, raking his bangs with his hand while the other he put in his pants’ pocket as he passed the other younger raven.

“Take care of the mess.” Sai locked a smoldering glare at the back of the retreating figure who was followed by the redhead and the other two, until the only ones left were him and Naruto he remained glued to his original standing position.

The chirps of the birds and the hues of yellow and light blue scattering through the skies filtering through the window hinted of the coming of dawn. He slowly walked inside the bathroom in the chamber and came back carrying a basin full of water and a damp cloth plus a change of clothes hanging over the crook of his upper and lower arm. He placed them on the bed side table, and as if his eyes were glued to the floor, he had difficulty taking a look at Naruto’s prone and exhausted figure.

“He didn’t even have the decency to cover you up. You’ll catch a cold.” Sai’s eyes narrowed as the corners burned, trying so hard to hold back tears as he began to wet the cloth on the basin full of lukewarm water and twisting it to squeeze out the excess.

He sat by the edge of the bed, having carried and maneuvered the blonde to lie on the driest part of the bed which was at the far edge, and wiped at Naruto’s face.

‘One last time, the fox spirit wanted to see and talk to the doctor one last time before he belonged to someone else. He decided it was to be a formal farewell between the two of them, although he doubted he would still remember him.’

As Sai’s hand went to wipe on Naruto’s hip which was sporting a rather ugly purple hand mark, tears began to fall down his cheeks. He squeezed the damp cloth, his back slouched as he shook with each sob cradling the blonde’s head with his arms.

“Naruto… Naruto… why won’t you leave him? Why do you let him continue to hurt you? Why do you let him lock you up in this place?”

‘So on the day of the doctor’s wedding before the said ceremony he reappeared. And to his surprise, the doctor once again confessed his love for him. The fox was left with no choice, giving a round mirror to the doctor he let it reflect him, showing his real appearance to his beloved doctor. He was ready to be hated and chased away, but instead, the doctor was unfazed. And declaring his love for the fox spirit one more time, they ran away. Away from the judgmental eyes of the villagers, and peacefully they lived in the mountains.’

+++

That first encounter was followed with a second, a third, until it could not be counted anymore. With various faceless and nameless people, they were allowed to violate and take advantage of Sasuke’s hold on the person locked up in that lonely tower.

“Ah! Ah! Ahhh!” Sasuke inhaled the last of his smoke as he stood mere yards away from the bed, eyes dispassionately eyeing down the three men he recognized to be his business partners taking turns on the blonde, he ground the burning tip of the cigarette to an ashtray on the bedside table.

Naruto was lying on all fours, mouth filled with a man’s cock thrusting in and out of the orifice while another lay down underneath him holding his hips and firmly raising them up and down his cock joined by another man’s shaft that was thrusting from behind him.

“Shit this feels incredible!” The man fucking him from behind panted, ignoring the smoldering gaze Sai was giving them from the divan parallel to the bed, a laptop on his lap, and fingers yet to type anything for they were caught in tight fists.

Naruto squeezed his eyes shut, moaning through the cock in his mouth that was hitting the back of his throat when the man underneath him started nibbling and sucking on his nipples.

“We just have to fuck him and we’ll get rich!”

The sounds have long numbed Sai’s ears, the sight had long frozen his heart from hurt but the hatred still remained, as well as the desire to free the lithe figure being dirtied by filthy greedy hands repeatedly.

By the time they had finished and was already dressing, the moon was already perched on the exact same place it had once been when they first started. The rustle of cloths were evident, but the unexpected presence of a previous associate had Sai who was already about to clean Naruto up and Sasuke who was seeing the three men downstairs pause to look at the smirking man by the door.

“Don’t bother, we can find our way.” One of the men said, greeting the longish dark haired man they addressed as Orochimaru as they headed out of the chamber and down the spiral staircase.

“Pardon, but what are you doing here?” Sasuke asked first standing near the edge of the bed, blocking Orochimaru from going any further towards Naruto.

“Come now, can’t an old friend drop by and see a good comrade?” Orochimaru smiled, satisfaction etched in his face.

“I assume you did well in the stocks.”

“You should know. Haven’t I just surpassed yours?”

“I repeat, what is your reason for coming here.”

“I just want to visit little blondie over there. I’ll double the amount don’t worry.”

Sai protectively wrapped his arms around the blonde who was starting to gain consciousness from having passed out earlier, body still shaking from over exhaustion and unable to move.

Sasuke stood staring at Orochimaru’s grinning face expressionless for a while. “Make it five times the usual amount. If you still insist and I feel considerate enough, you can have him, if it suits your taste to bed a corpse.” Orochimaru’s jaws clenched at the demand, before forcing them to ease as he eyed on Naruto over Sasuke’s shoulder, now blinking weakly and asking Sai what happened.

“He looks very alive to me.”

Sasuke didn’t reply any longer, only remaining before Orochimaru, his body an obvious barricade between Orochimaru and Naruto.

“Alright, five times the usual amount. On one condition. You leave us alone.”

“You didn’t look a little bothered when there were four of us in here.”

“It’s just that I’ve just recently realized how I liked having my privacy.”

“Double the amount demanded earlier and I might reconsider.” At that Orochimaru was unable to hide his dislike for the CEO president, his mouth twisted into a snarl bearing his teeth.

“Don’t fuck with me Uchiha. I’m much more successful than you. How dare you treat me so lowly?” The man asked in a low dangerous hissing tone. But Sasuke only stared at him with his usual royal air, as if he was looking at someone who’s no more than a mere speck of dust on the shoulder that needs to be flicked off.

“Sai.” Sasuke called out, obsidian eyes not leaving the man whose anger was slowly rising.

“Yes.” The younger raven responded, reluctantly letting go of Naruto as he straightened while the blonde shifted to wrap his body with the silk sheets.

“Please guide Orochimaru the way down to the village gate.”

“But Naruto—”

“I’ll take care of him.” Reluctantly, Sai obeyed, hiding his clenched fists deep in his pockets he went past Sasuke and stopped just beside Orochimaru. Noting how the other was emitting such a strong aura of loathing. Absentmindedly Sai’s hand went to the cold metallic gun caught on the waist band of his pants hidden by his coat, eyes squinting in warning as he glanced back on Sasuke’s unreadable face.

“That face… You know I’ve always hated how you look down on others Uchiha.” Orochimaru spat which slowly turned into a sick grin. The pale and clammy hand flexed and a barely heard sound of something swishing was caught in the silence of the room as a knife slid down from beneath the sleeve of Orochimaru’s coat.

“Don’t worry, I’ll gladly wipe that annoying face off you!!!” Sai quickly extracted his gun from behind, but standing beside Orochimaru, he was shoved by the man as he was doing so, landing on the carpet he fired a miss or hit shot, eyes having squinted a little as he grunted hitting the floor hard. The question was quickly answered for him, when he heard the man’s pained shout caught in his throat, but as his focus cleared his eyes widened.

He had hit Orochimaru on the side, but Orochimaru had stabbed every last inch of his long dagger to Sasuke’s chest and was now lying on top of the still expressionless man who had fallen down the bed, his arm having thrown the lamp down the floor and the oil scattering on the carpet creating a small fire.

“You’ll die! And he’ll finally be mine!!! All of him!” Orochimaru repeatedly said in a mad voice, despite coughing blood, his hand drawing the blade out of Sasuke to stab him again. The blade coming back a second time as quickly as it left.

“Sasuke!!!” Naruto screamed in fear, crawling, despite the weariness of his body towards Sasuke who was on the other side of the wide bed. Sai let out a loud curse as he stood up, firing the second shot accurately behind Orochimaru’s head.

“Sasuke! Sasuke! Sasuke!!!” Huge drops of tears escaped the wide eyed blonde, not even casting Sai or the corpse a glance, he pushed the body on top of the coughing raven away and cradled the man in his lap, a shaking hand moving too wipe the blood that Sasuke had coughed out and the blood staining his immaculate white shirt and the dirty sheets of the bed, the pooling blood so dark it was almost black, the growing flames that was quickly scattering illuminating them.

Still the man held no expression, he just continued to stare at the crying blonde above him. Naruto frantically removed the blanket he used to wrap around himself and rolled them into a bundle, placing them on the Uchiha’s chest as he continued to cry out his name.

“Sasuke! Sasuke! Don’t die! Don’t leave me alone! Sasuke I love you! I love you! I’ll do anything! I’ll let them fuck me anytime you want! I’ll let you marry and have kids! I’ll do everything to make you even more successful! Anything you want just please don’t leave me! Don’t die! Even if you leave as long as you’re alive it’s fine! It’s fine if you love someone else! It’s fine even if you do anything I don’t like! I’ll let you hurt me! I’ll let you do anything just—”

“Naruto! Get away! The flames are spreading fast!” Sai quickly grabbed the blonde’s elbow, yanking him off the bed, but the blonde used all his weight to pull away, wrapping his arms protectively around Sasuke just as Sai had done to him earlier before casting an accusing glare at Sai.

"I..."

"Sasuke!?" Naruto called out.

"... really... hate you... Sai." Sasuke smirked, the first ever impression that crossed his face for fifteen years ever since Sai was picked up by Naruto in the streets.

Sai suddenly froze, sweat breaking out of his skin as the hot air and the suffocating black smoke loomed over them on the ceiling, the flames crawling up to the heavy fabrics curtaining the walls of the chamber from floor to ceiling, looking at those angry accusing eyes, he felt as if Naruto was telling him what he was doing was wrong. And to those cold black ones, as if he was just a mere outsider and had nothing to do with them.

“What is wrong with you!!!?” Sai roared, anger getting the better of him despite Naruto’s cries he wrenched him out of the bed and dragged him towards the only window of the tower since the flames had already blocked the door.

“Naruto come with me. We’ll leave this place, I’ll let you forget him! I love you more than him what do you see in that man!? He’s done nothing but hurt you!” Sai hollered, trying to get the blonde to climb the window, since the ground below them was just small, they’ll eventually land on the lake water.

“No! You’re wrong! Nobody loves me more than Sasuke! Get off! Sai please! Sasuke needs me!”

“Quit being an idiot! Let’s go!” Sai braced his knee on the window sill, a death grip on the blonde’s elbow. If he’s not going to jump first, then I’ll force him to jump with me.

“Sai…” Suddenly Naruto stilled lowering his head, the low voice catching the younger raven’s attention. And then the blonde looked up, a lonely smile on his face.

“I… have always looked at you like a son.” He cupped Sai’s face. “You… have given me nothing but pure understanding, and loved me, and trusted me without any doubts. I don't regret finding you that one stormy evening, looking like a drenched and abandoned puppy.”

“What’s this suddenly?”

The flames caught on the bed spread, crawling on the curtains and the posts of the four poster bed. The bloody corpse already beginning to be burnt with it.

Naruto then placed a palm flat on the raven’s chest. “Remember I'll always be watching.” Before a sphere of blue light appeared between his palm and Sai’s chest, and as if a harsh gush of wind had hit Sai, he flew out of the window and landed heavily on the water.

“Nar… Naru—ugh! Naruto…” Sasuke coughed, having crawled out of the bed. He staggered his way towards the blonde who was looking out of the window, a pale hand reaching out to that back he was seeing through black half-lidded eyes that was quickly looking focus.

The blonde didn’t move, as a hand clutched on his naked shoulder, before arms snaked around his neck and he finally looked up to a smiling face, even though it was adorned with a pair of shimmering line of tears. Naruto’s cheek was cupped by a soft bloodied hand and he went to cup that hand with his own.

“Why… won’t you… let me… go?” Sasuke gasped out, before coughing more. His knees buckled and landed hard on the warm floor dragging Naruto down to sit on the divan. The numbing dizziness caused him to lay his head on warm naked thighs, and he closed his eyes with a satisfied smile when a hand moved to pet his hair as if a cat being petted.

“You should know… we’ve lived for thousands of years… after all.” The blonde looked down at the smiling raven, whose pale arms had moved to wrap loosely around his waist. “I’m greedier than you think.” He continued to pet him.

“I’ve never stopped you. I’ve always looked for ways to show you nothing’s changed. Even through all this time, even through all my immortal years, I love you more than anyone else. I will never let you go… every time you look back at the first time we’ve met, don’t you think that way too?”

“Ahh…” Sasuke rasped out in an affirmative. His body growing cold despite the scorching heat and the suffocating smokes. “I always think… I’ll… never… let you… go… too… even… if you… love someone else… even... Sai.”

“No, no, no, no... I care for him I do. But I love you. Even if doubt crosses your heart, or confusion, or jealousy… I love everything about you. That’s why… even now… I refuse to let you go. Sasuke.”

“Me… too. I grew tired... of growing close to anyone... because I know they will die before me... but more than that... is because... I don't need anyone else... but you. Can you... fogive me... for hurting you all these... years?”

"There's nothing to forgive... In all our years we have grown decrepit inside, untrusting... greedy... selfish. We both made mistakes... but that can still change Sasuke..."

"I really... envy you... because... you never get... tired of growing close to... someone even though... you know they will... leave you in the end... but... I also... hate you... for being... like that. I grew... to hate... becoming like this... apart from watching every one... close to me die... it's because... I was afraid... that someday... you'll grow tired of me... too. Because living... forever... without you... is worse... than dying... before or after you."

"The people I've met... I may forget them... but the times I spent with you it's something i'll never get tired of remembering." The blonde smiled, continuing when the other didn't answer.

“Hey… do you remember the first time we met? You were such a bastard. Calling me a dobe back then. Even your brother was kinder than you, but don’t get jealous, even though you’re a bastard I love you. Come to think of it, I’ve never asked how you became a doctor, since you always look like you’ve got a stick up the ass, I have to wonder how kids endure you every time they get sick.” Naruto chuckled, continuing to rake at the soft black hair, the loose hold around his waist finally letting go and landing on the cushion around him. “You always say ‘runt’ or ‘brat’ but in truth you’ve been having wet dreams of me right?”

The raven remained silent, but the smile remained, as if he was dreaming a very good dream.

“You know… you’re really beautiful Sasuke. Especially when you smile, I really missed them, I missed watching you sleep. You were always grouchy when I woke you up, I remember… Sasuke.” Beads of moisture dropped on the perfect pale cheek of the raven, before they slid down.

“Sasuke…” Naruto’s hands slowly slid down from Sasuke’s hair down to his back, the blonde’s back bending as he wrapped his arms around the raven’s head on his lap, resting his face against it.

“It's been a long time since I've seen this gentle face of yours... how beautiful it is. That's right... let's sleep for now... until the time comes that all that had happened will only be just a dim memory to you... Goodnight.”

Sasuke.

‘But the doctor was cursed with an incurable sickness by the woman he’d betrayed, and slowly he could feel a little of his life being taken away from him. Everyday, everyday, the enchanted fox spirit who was favored by the gods prayed solemnly for his beloved’s life under the big sacred tree on the forest where he resides. The sun god then sent the god of the wind to test him, after then the god of rain, the god of thunder and the god earth.’

‘Tornados nearly ripped them of their harvest, huge trees they used as fire woods nearly got pulled out by the floods, the rainstorms continued, and their crops were so little it barely made it as food for the both of them. Until the fox spirit’s health slowly declined, having depraved of warmth from the sun, of food when he always gave everything to the beloved doctor, and of the fatigue from repeated visits to the sacred tree. And so, the sun god, having been totally taken by the fox spirit’s compassion, cured the man of his sickness.’

‘However the sun god explained, that it was an incurable disease, that it was impossible to cure without having to upset the god of the underworld who had helped the betrayed woman, they have always been in balance. So the sun god bestowed a most precious gift to the both of them, he made them immortal, the ones who the fox, who only have a thousand years life span, favors will be in good fortune and granted long life, but for the price that the doctor will always carry a fraction of that curse the scorned woman had bellowed before him a long time ago.’

I curse you for all that you are! You will forever carry this pain of betrayal in my heart, your name I will carry down to my grave and never will I let you be in peace as you had stripped me of that same thing. Until my soul is devoured by the fires of the underworld... you will always be cursed!!!!

'The uncertain future and what lies ahead afterwards is too much for him to burden, but Naruto believed that just as hope, faith and the world.... these that will someday come to an end. Only this, love will always remain.'

Sai coughed and panted as he reached the bank of the lake, drops of water dampening the ground as the flames illuminated the sky and its burnt scent lingered in the air until. He had no idea how many hours the fire took place, but he stayed there perched on the ground looking up at the tower as the moon disappeared and was replaced by a rising sun when a small rain shower took place.

He braced a hand beside him, he bent his knee and let his other hand rest there while his other leg was straightened before him as he tilted his head up and closed his eyes, letting the refreshing smell of rain drown the suffocating smell of flames.

Ever so slowly, the stone tower began to crack. He didn’t even flinch as the stones fell, large chunks by large chunks, on the lake and the surrounding ground mere meters away from him.

“It’s a real good day for a wedding huh?”

The question was carried by the passing wind as he looked up at the direction of the sun, the clouds surrounding it beginning to break by the rays filtering through it, making every drop of rain shimmer.

“Congratulations.”

He smirked, standing up and casting one last look to the view of the skies before walking away. The rain showers continuing to fall.

+++

Take me for granted a little bit more

Hurt me a little bit more

If that will make you happy

If that will make you content

If that will help ease your insecurities and hurt

If that will make you love me more

Please do.

Call my name until I get sick of it

Embrace me until I suffocate;

And my bones break

Hurt me until I cannot feel anymore

Hate me, if that will make you unable to forget me

Be selfish

Be greedy

Because that is what I am

And I will forever trap you in this inescapable circle

Called love.

END
