This Side of Nocturne

Slaying Destiny- Peaceful Calamity

Walk the amber-road

Azure feet stumbling on grain

for the western jester

who’ll drink the dawn in

sips of fate

mourning her sister

destiny’s forthcoming

demise.

Part One- Phoenix of the Shadow- Endless Winter.

The sun was drowning again falling underneath the sound of the herons calling for their mates, their sounds not even strong enough to drown out the redness.

Blood rays began foundling the summer fields splaying the whet buds across the open grain passage beneath the hill, in the village outskirts. Above in the small hut, his mother could see the whole village, and stare herself into the life of the nearby world of straw-roofed huddled huts that she never went inside of.

“He’ll come for you soon”

She always said that.

Naruto’s mother sat beside the window, blank eyes staring at the conversation as if she could understand the words between the two villagers she was currently spying on. If she was spying, she stared so blankly he wondered had she gone blind.

The white sallow tail un-hitched as the last color began burning the hues smoldering ash into those once violet-blue eyes, lifeless with the placid mill of calm, as the last trace of summer choked in the vines of misery.

She was now a dull winter.

Naruto’s mother was striking once, the long crimson length pouring among the curved bosom of a lithe form, with an aura of spring and milk but,

doves could not survive in war.

And the raider wars, had taken everything away from her.

He was nothing like her in his features, her hair an alabaster aged wood, his golden sun hued. Her eyes stone while his were river currents. Her skin a sheet hanging in the winter’s mist, his tan like the sun resting among the morning sand.

She hated him, because he looked like his father. The memories were fresh even if the wounds were healed.

The night of his memory was a warm night, the air in the hut fragrant with the nearby scent of cicada’s. The villages thought they would ward off evil spirits and bring peaceful dreams, but it was clear to Naruto their predictions weren’t as concrete as the strong scent. He couldn’t sleep, the tussle of the quilt was evidence of that but it didn’t stop the approaching movements from the shadows.

His mother stood before him, ghost like in her manor, the eyes far gone with the expression of madness as the hands clasped around his throat crushing the tender wind pipes. The organs inside broke and reformed with every pulse of her finger tips, the tissue restructuring and the amber fluid reflowing under her long nails.

Bewilderment, resentment, misery and sorrow began melding into her finger tips, sending the waves of emotion into a tan throat crying to no one. His mother hadn’t taught him any gods, perhaps she had stop believing in the village gods a long time ago.

“Why? Won’t you die? Because you have the same hellish blood he does of course.” She laughed and cried her elegant hands folding in her lap, as she laughed the whole night and half the morning before trying again.

Laugher, and crying was melody he began to know as one song around his mother.

Eventually she gave up. The wounds healed before she could admire her attempts, he wished she would have succeeded, rather to see the dejected face of failure and realization that he was alive. Her demon son couldn’t die by her hands the pain of that truth ironically was a catalyst for her slow death.

Now she was merely a hallow grain of flesh pressed against the plum robes, bloodlust long aged out the sliver bones. Hate required strength and will… in which they both were lacking. Now Naurto’s mother lay dying before him.

Mother.

Like a pure bite of a green tea leaf, the bitterness seeped into the system and left only a metallic aftertaste.

Child.

Much like life a brown leaf on the river fighting against the destiny of the wind, before its emerald life slowly melds into acceptance of decay.

Both lay dying in their own ways.

There wasn’t any cheap anger, any hazardous motions, or any painful tears- just a bitter emptiness.

He couldn’t blame her; in fact he was grateful to his mother for taking up the challenge of raising a child born from the rape of raiders. Most mothers committed suicide slicing their bellies open in the village square before bringing disgrace to their establishments. The ground would be dyed crimson with the stain of prideful death seeping into the sand. Even after the rains the sand would be wet with the sheen of blood…and it was often his mother looked longingly at the blood stain below on the village square.

His mother had tried to kill herself after the raider rape as well, but the wound she tried gashing inside of herself healed the moment the blade nicked the flesh.

She was determined to die, her small pale silken hands coursing with the fear of uncertainty, as the sliver blade shivered with its master’s wavering sprit, pressing to the skin the blade sunk into the flesh but the ruby life-force refused to spill over the blade’s command.

Over and over again she tried to die, but the healing power would heal her before she could even feel the pain of the blade’s curved moments. The seal would activate and the wound would vanish, the salt of her tears falling over her swollen skin.

She had truly been raped by a demon. Carrying the demon seed she raised him, she hated him but she tended to him.

Sometimes Naurto imagined she would slightly smile at him when he pleased her by making her life at ease, but more than likely it was his own imagination easing the reality.

Naurto silently placed the fire wood inside of the stove letting the heat, inside of the ice chill room. The realization ever present that time between him and his mother was setting quickly at the rotations of the hour light.

The lamplight played on her features her frail frame barely withstanding the mildness of candle light as he went into the adoring room. The hut was barely a home but a meager couple rooms under leaky straw on the out skirts of the village of Kai-Chou. Honestly not many of the houses in Kai-Chou were worth much of anything from the last time the raiders attacked they took everything expect for the sunset, as if they only meant to leave the shadow of blood to haunt the village.

Naruto bit his lip walking outside taking his usual resting place on the ground, the scent of burning wood drifting as his mother’s breathing seeped into rhythm of sun and blood, and the rotation of the hour light began beneath his closed eyes.

“Naruto she’s dying because of you. He’s dying because of you but at least you can save him.”

This voice was a familiar one again, which meant he was dreaming. He was so used to having the same dreams these days that he could differ the reality from the fantasy based on his similar dream world occurrences, in a moment he would be seeing him.

As expected the shadows departed showing a tall pale warrior. As much as Naurto got used to the dreams, he wondered why it was that his heart stopped every time he saw that warrior, as if his blood ceased flowing on the sight of the one formed from darkness.

His hair was raven black, so onyx that it seems composed of crow feathers upwardly spiraling to defy reality and gravity. His eyes jet black as well expect for the times they flashed crimson slashing through the shadow with its light testing the darkness, swirling around his robes which blended perfectly with the darkness expect for the symbol of a golden dragon biting it’s tail swirling on the bottom of the obsidian robe bulging from the mist of shades.

“Calling for me? Or am I calling for you? It’s a blur now Kage-Gei” The raven haired warrior chuckled a bitter laugh casting about the endless space of darkness, he usually was silent and staring but every once in a while he spoke a line or a few.

“I don’t know” Naruto answered hands resting in the onyx river of nothing, ripples bouncing off his fingers. As insane as this dream was he didn’t mind it so much, the darkness though simple was beautiful. All around this world was black space, and black water flowing between him and the older youth across from him, leaning on the darkness.

Here he could be suspending by nothing if his mind willed it, just sitting on the edge of a shadow under the gaze of the unnamed male, sometimes he would spend hours like this. Under the caress of a gentle darkness the softness of nothing stroking him tenderly.

He had tried asking for names, dates or reasons but the same response of silence greeted him with each question. He had given up understanding this dream and accepting it as a realm he visited sometimes.

Though he could almost promise he would feel the breeze and the cool of the river, as if it were realer than the world he walked among for there he felt nothing, winter had long ago rendered him numb.

But once he could confirm the physical reality he was awake, and as much as he wanted to stay and cling to this realm and the calming darkness, he was once again waking up and returning to the dazzling frost of brightness.

It was raining. The fresh droplets began soaking though his skin, as he went into to check on his mother.

She wasn’t beside the window… his defenses went up, she could be behind the corner attempting to harm him again, but no… he couldn’t smell her.

Short legs, frantically dragged among the icy winter mud with the scent of wet wood in the air overpowering most of the scents, leading him haphazardly down the hill as if he were tumble walking with the panic leaking out his strides. The rain poured like oil from the skin of a deer slow and regretful as the wind began rapidly whipping the tree branches, as if something was coming, and slowly forming from the wind’s conversation of breezing sounds.

The young blonde youth could feel the hair prickling on his neck, something was going to happen. He ran towards the village, towards the stains of blood perhaps she finally was going to try and finish the task from eighteen years ago.

Much to his relief she wasn’t there either, but then again he was running out of options.

“She’s in the village grave yard.” A deep voice whispered. Forming before Naruto was a man he had never seen before but for some reason he recognized the voice perfectly. Long ebony-brown hair lay long enough to hit the back of the man who was pressing his self out of the wind, even more strange his eyes were a solace lighted purple, coming into focus as he climbed out of the violent lashing wind like he himself had created nature.

“Well are you going? I figured you should at least pay your respects. In fact let us go together for I have business with you, and you have business with her. Let’s resolve this mortal affair Kage-Gei”

There was that name again. The name the pale one called him in his dreams. Kage-Gei. What did it mean? And how did this man appear to know everything about his life? Thoughts and actions collided as Naruto sprinted towards the village graveyard with the mysterious stranger merely walking behind him but matching his strides without effort.

“Ah. Naru-chan. You’ve came.” She smiled for the first time that I’ve seen. And for a while a glamour became her. The beauty of her youth covering the skin of her older years. Ash eyes were violet-azure, ghostly skin a cream pale, and finally the death dull hair was once more oaken wood pouring down the side of a curved figure floating out beyond the graveyard.

“Am I beautiful Naru-chan?” She asked, free from the chains of gravity over the mountains past the open sea now twirling with a childish like zeal.

“Yes mother you’re beautiful” I assured her, as she faded into the air…

I didn’t know what had happened but I did know one thing. Mother wasn’t coming back.

“In case you’re wondering. She’s dead finally. You could only keep your mother alive while you were inside of her womb. While I was responsible for keeping her alive until you were ready, in a way for the last couple of years, your mother has been already dead expect for the flow of my life-force” The stranger said leaning on one of the standing graves.

“So you tossed her aside from the moment I was ready for your purposes? Are you the one who she keep saying was coming for me?” Naruto asked, the anger welling inside of him. He didn’t fully understand the situation but anger was a feeling he hadn’t felt in many years and the loss was triggering multiple feelings of rage inside of him.

“Tossed her aside. I’ve done nothing more than a favor to you and your mother. You’re mother hated you, even waking moment as you grew so much like the person she despised but yet I’ve given you the precious time with your mother despite her will and as for your mother I made a spiritual contract to release her as soon I saw you were ready. And trust me Kage-Gei I’ve been more than lenient on time to the point I can’t afford to be any more merciful… my master is dying because of you” The stranger said wind forming patterns around him as his face became distressed with emotion.

”Dying because of me?” Naruto asked his anger long forgotten… something told him his dreams were going to get frighteningly real.

“Yes, that right Kage-Gei. The Kage-Mei is dying because of you. The Kage-Mei is the raven haired man you are envisioning now and if you don’t come with me he will surely die”. The sprit contractor said, ice apparent his in words. Neji was trying to be as peaceful as possible but the Kage-Mei needed Naruto now, and he couldn't bare to think of the possible chance of failing this personal mission.

He wasn’t leaving without the boy even though he figured it would do best to at least offer the Kage-Gei a chance at first before he resulted to sheer force. He was already disobeying his master’s request to leave the Kage-Gei. Bringing the young man in pieces would surely be unacceptable and messy.

Time seemed to slow. For some reason the thought of leaving the man in his dreams to die, ate at Naruto and consumed him in a similar sorrow to that of his mother dying. No… he couldn’t kill another person much less the man who appeared so solemn in his dreams. He had to meet the man who simply stated at him so deeply, and perhaps he could finally know…who was calling.

“I’ll go. I’ll go and meet him. I don’t know how to stop him from dying but I’ll do whatever I can. I promise.” Naruto said nodding on the axis on his point as the stranger smiled warmly for the first time his hands beginning to fan into intricate motions.

“Then I Neji Hyuuga, promise my life to you and my blood now lives on behalf my service to you. The Kage-Gei to my master.I’ll ask that you concentrate on darkness and nothing else Naruto. Traveling the road between worlds can be difficult for even the highest demons and you’re still green.”

Ho Sho Zan De-shen Kage

For some reasons the words the purple eyed stranger chanted seemed familiar as if Naruto had heard it long ago, Neji ‘s motions were flickers of skin and shadow as the world changed about the blonde youth. The dazzling brightness of the day faded into shadow as the new world formed about the boundary of the life Naurto once knew.

Gold was the first color he noticed because it was the only color in the room that he and Neji now stood in. The encryptions on the walls were dragons laden with jewels coming out of their mouths spilling on crafted words written into the walls that he couldn’t understand. However the dragon’s frame was surely the one he had seen on the shadow robes of his fellow dream companion. Without a doubt the feeling of placement was the same, this was the realm of his nightly world.

“Neji. You’ve brought him safely and unmarred I’m proud of you. This might say something for you usually lacking people skills.” A soft voice cooed spiraling out of the nearby door, a grin decorating the face of a woman with angelic features.

Her cherry-brown hair was keep into buns on both the east and west side of her hair, with shaggy short bangs leaning into her brown eyes with matched the lightness of her hair, and the rich pale red attire of robes she wore.

Ten Ten was very pleased to see the older attendant despite his attitude, it was bad enough serving under the Kage-Mei whose temper left much to be desired, but even his attendant had horrible social skills.

Ten Ten was another attendant of the Kage-Mei but nowhere near the ranking of Neji, and she considered it a blessing, the higher the social status in the Kage Kingdom, the larger the social nightmare.

“I have no time for your games Ten Ten. Status report now.” Neji demanded whilst the younger woman frowned pulling a sour face.

“Well excuse me for being relieved to see the mission carried out. As for the master his condition is still grave I suggest you get along wi-“

“Enough” Neji commented, placing a hand on the younger woman’s shoulders before pulling Naruto past the young woman, who disappeared in a shadow the smoke making wisps in their direction.

The direction of fate.

Something was happening to his body. He could feel the heat swelling inside of him, he was getting closer to the one he was meant to meet, and he was getting closer to the man inside of his dreams. He felt like he was going to come outside of his skin, and soon he began leaving Neji behind. He didn’t need him to tell him to where the pale warrior was- he could smell, taste, and feel the directions.

Neji sighed… While Naruto may be rushing out of pure instinct he had no idea what he was going to be tonight.

Tonight Naruto was a sexual meal to the Kage-Mei if he stepped inside of the door, and yet it was what Neji desperately needed Naruto to do.

The Kage-Mei had been dying for over a thousand years now, the need to touch Naruto overwhelming him to the point of extreme pain, the pent up sexual frustration of over one thousand years was exactly what the young Kei-Gei was running into.

Neji sighed, he had been watching his master die now, for over a thousand years. Each time the Kage-Mei coughed blood on the steps and used the shadows to cover it, slowly as his featured faded, and the screams from his chambers every night haunted the attendant.

The Kage-Mei’s temperament may have seemed cold to others, but he was a strong ruler. The people needed him, and Neji would not let him die now. Despite having to deal with a very angry king in the seventh hour.

Who knows he might actually be in a good mood after this, Neji sighed with wishful thinking. He knew that anything but that optimistic outcome would happen. It was going to be a rough night indeed.

The flames of shadow and fire were lapping his skin, melting his sanity. There could only be on explanation for such heat. The Kage-Mei Sasuke knew that his mate was near him.

The almost three-thousand year old king could feel his blood rushing with the thought of tasting his mate for the first time. His self control was like a feather in face of a typhoon the soft connecting of the fragment of fluff ripped apart into the winds of shadows.

His erection was painfully hard from just smelling his mate, the sweet scent of vanilla thrusting itself though the darkness with a force like light.

Burn, Burn, Burn, everything was melting, the moments endless.

And finally the door opened and he saw his mate in flesh instead of the dream world.

And Gods he was stunning…so very stunning. Golden short croped hair choosing the will of its own direction with azure marbles seemingly floating out honey tan skin.

Skin, skin, skin, skin became a mental chant as he sent the shadows pinning the young blonde against the wall. His sanity was no longer under his control as the animalistic nature of the bond between him and the Gei began completely overriding his system.

Hunger, lust,hunger,lust

“What are you doing?” Naruto called out, heat swelling thoughout his slender frame, his wrists bound with shadow’s against the wall.

“Such a lovely voice you have. I want to hear more of it” The Kage-Mei whispered, running his hand on the side of the Naruto’s cheek.

This was the Kage-Mei. This was the one from his dreams. Though he looked nothing like the man from his dreams.

This pale man was sickly in nature, his hair long instead of the short spiked crop he usually donned in Naruto’s dreams and his eyes were merely sliver sockets blank with color. But that searing heat revealed this was indeed the man from his dreams, that feeling of warmth was spreading down inside of his skin and burning him, and all he wanted was for the hot flame to be put out. What on earth was this guy doing to him?

Hunger, lust,hunger,lust

A hard grip to his hair pulled his lips to the Kage-Mei’s. The taste was like wine, and Naruto was drowning the sweetness making him light headed. His body was saying more, his mind on the other hand was in shock.

The kiss lasted so long, it felt as if the shadows around him, were pumping air into this lungs. The bittersweet darkness melting in with the kiss, rolling on his taste buds as he became submissive to the fire inside of his mouth, the Kage-Mei was biting his inner cheeks harsh enough to draw blood, which was quickly sucked into the raven haired man's mouth as if he devored every inch of the inside of Naruto's soul with that one kiss.

When Naruto could fight to get his eyes open, the image from his dream was now standing in front of him. The raven hair spiked, eyes jet ebony, and skin like moon fragments giving off a glow as those pale hands grabbed at his robes sliding inside of them.

“No-I-stop-“ was cut off by another kiss the hands in Naruto’s hair moving his head along the groove of the kiss. His lips being bitten and ravished as the hand moved lower making simple motions as the shadows ripped at the clothing among his frame.

And the realization of the Kage-Mei’s intention was made perfectly clear as the shadow’s took off the pale warrior’s clothing as well.

Hunger, lust,hunger,lust

He was going take Naruto’s body.

“Stop, really you-“ another kiss, this time silencing any protest as the Kage-Mei pulled back roughly yanking the young blonde close to him.

“.Mine.” was roughly stated into the blonde’s ear. It wasn’t just a proclamation but also a growl as the King shoved the young half-ling on the floor beneath him, the shadows pinning him to quiet any struggle as the king entered the half demon’s body.

Hunger, lust,hunger,lust

The pain was almost unlike anything Naruto had experienced as the King moved in a downward motion driving part of himself inside Naruto’s virgin body. Blinding fire welded up inside of him as his palms lays against the bed sheet his eyes ghastly wide with the realization of his penetration.

Why was he doing this to him? Despite Naruto’s wishes he could feel his body shivering with fear and humiliation.

It was silent for a while before the Kage-Mei pulled outside of the blonde’s body bowing his head, before leaving the room . The shadows leaving with him, with only the dull darkness playing on the edges of the wall.

Leaving his Gei shaking alone on the bed.

“NEJI!” Resounded throughout the whole kingdom as Sasuke sat on this throne the shadow’s wildly flickering beside him as he waited for his ever-so-bright royal attendant. In all Neji’s thousands of years of service the older man had never broken a command from the Uchica family.

And yet he had clearly ignored and disobeyed Sasuke’s orders.

“Kage-Mei I am glad to see you in health enough to yell and your body seems to have returned to its former state as well.” The purple dusted eyed attendant noted seemingly oblivious to his master’s anger.

“I remember quite well saying I didn’t want the Kage-Gei brought to me, and I remember quite well you being by my side as I made the order. Now perhaps I was weak at the time but I do have an excellent memory. Explain yourself” Sasuke commanded, his eyes flashing with the symbol of his blood line, red eyes and black enchanted curves of shadow.

“Gladly Kage-Mei.” Neji commented kneeling in front of his master “For you see the first promise I have is to the people, the second promise I have is to the Kage-family. The people can not suffer the loss of another leader, especially without an heir to the throne by blood. Imagine the bloodshed over this kingdom as the other rulers would seek to take the Kage Kingdom after your death. Imagine the people that would die over your selfishness. Die as you see fit after you produce an heir, maybe he’ll have the common sense to live.” Neji proclaimed fearless determination in his eyes, he threw away a fear of death some hundreds of years ago, and the ruthless nature of the Kage-Kei was a common place to him.

“Your fearless as always Neji. I cannot punish you for keeping the people’s greater interest in mind and saving my life. You have checkmated me once again, perhaps it’s because you are older than me.” Sasuke commented anger dissipated as he stared at Neji.

“Ah. Kage-Mei. My age is nothing compared to your strength and wisdom. I am only pained that my will has clashed with yours.” The long hair attendee commented bowing his head to the throne.

His backside hurt, along with his side. Naruto sat upright on the satin sheets, as he felt a cool hand pressed on the top of his forehead. The shadow's slightly moved backwards as he sat up, around this place there seemed to be endless shades around, but the person before him seemed very bright compared to the rest of the kingdom, with skin even lighter than the Kage-Mei's.

“Kage-Gei, I am you hand maid Haku. Please allow me to bring you for walk on the grounds; I fear you are very uncomfortable. Am I correct?” Haku asked, backing away from the bed with his eyes averted going into a bowed state before Naruto.

Haku was beautiful, with skin like moon dust, and long raven hair admist brown eyes. Naruto sighed, not quite able to place the orientation of his ..hand maiden. It certainly looked female but then again the voice was that of a young boy.

“Haku…are you a-“

“I’m a man. If that is what you are about to ask.” Haku said nonchalantly as if being questioned about this was common nature to him.

“I’m sorry. It’s just that you’re so beautiful it’s hard to hard to think you’re possibly a guy like me. You’re very pretty. Ummm I’m sorry” Naruto offered hoping he hadn’t offended his hand maid.

“No. I take that as a compliment. You are very beautiful as well, the Kage-Mei must be very pleased with you being his Kage-Gei. ”

“That Kage-bastard was all too pleased!” Naruto bit out, about to ask Haku where the hell the Kage-Mei drug his ass into hiding but that would have been a silly question he could always feel exactly where the Kage-Mei was.

“Naruto where are you going? Naruto, you can’t just barge in the throne room. Can you?” Haku sighed, he had never served a Kage-Gei before, and he must admit he was far unprepared to serve a Kage-Gei from another world.

Naruto was already through the doors before Haku could stop him his eyes flashing anger rushing though him. That Kage-bastard had attempted to rape him last night, after all the times they shared in the dream world, after he had even done his best to come and save him. He had attempted to rape him, and Naruto would not be staying a moment longer.

“Kage-Asshole. I want to leave now.” Naruto yelled standing in the middle of the throne room. The room was massive, and left him in no doubt that the Kage-Mei was some kind of big shot.

The whole room was sliver and golden, encased in darkness despite the glamour. The shadows seemed transparent in this room, and if were glass like but yet it had movement at the same time.

The darkness was so crisp, and reflective that it was bright; the golden reflection of Naruto was cast before the court surrounding him in a world of mirrors. The golden rays of his hair cast into his own azure eyes was blinding, the darkness in this place was so potent that he had adjusted to the various shades. It was unusual seeing light being fragmented out of one’s self and for a moment Naurto was captured with a childish wonder of watching his own being become the essence of illumination. Only Sasuke was un-reflected standing in the middle of the shadows, as if he were composed of so much darkness he himself could not contain a reflection.

“Everyone dismissed expect Neji” The pale skinned king ordered as a mass of people trailed out of the room expect the violet eyed stranger from before currently walking towards him.

“Kage-Gei. If you would just calm down things would be explained-“

“Calm down. You fucking calm down. This bastard tried to rape me last night getting as far as shoving his cock up my ass, and you lead the fucking way. You’re both perverts. This whole dying thing was some kind of sick joke right? Huh? I’m warning you if you don’t step back I’m going to rip you apart.”

“Rather large words from someone who is vaguely aware of their demon inheritance and how to use it, no-“

Neji didn’t get to finish his words, and as the fire leap from Naruto’s hands.

Fire is both dangerous and beautiful, and Naruto’s fire spell was no different. The blaze send the degrees in the room soaring upwards, the fierce bloodlust on the blaze hot and wild. This was raw uncontrolled magic…one of the deadliest forms of magic.

The frigid attendant didn’t budge as he formed a shield, which melted the second the flames touched the barrier of magic causing the usually composed man’s face to become deranged with shock as he dodged the flames that went hurling towards the Kage-Mei.

Sasuke didn’t move, but let the flames touch him. It felt warm more so than any pain, he was assured knowing the Kage-Gei couldn’t hurt him even if he tried. However Neji on the other hand was a different story, as much as he was enjoying the temper tantrum of his Gei he couldn’t chance the damage that would happen before Naruto tired himself out.

“Bii’za bind” The raven haired King chanted binding the Kage-Gei down. The muscles rippled and contracted but Naruto was unable to move, it was if the shadows had entered his body and cut the connection between his muscles and his nerves.

“Neji take him to my chambers, I’ll attend to my business here and arrive in the tenth hour.” Sasuke ordered his eyes alive with the crimson and shards of black twisting.

Naruto wanted to speak and tell him what an unfair bastard he was being, but he couldn’t his whole body was bound shut, and he was unable to move any part of it.

Neji sighed, now that he was safely back in the Kage-Mei’s chambers and sitting next to a bound Kage-Gei instead of the wild beast he had faced earlier in the throne room. It figured his master would have happen to bound to an insanely strong Gei, he wouldn’t believe Naruto was a half-breed if he wasn’t involved in the process of helping Naruto’s mother live long enough to tend to the boy.

“Listen, seeing that all you can do for now is listen. Now would be a perfect time to sort of explain things to you.”’

“The Kage-Mei did not mean to offend you last night. He really wasn’t in control of his body completely, but more so the need was so strong he couldn’t control his actions. Mei’s will die without physical contact from their mate. If the Mei and Gei have not found each other within the thousand year time limit the Mei’s body will began to break down, and most of them die in the couple of years. It is extremely rare for a Mei to not find their Gei within a thousand years, but our difficult ruler just had to be one of those, but after the thousand years the dreams start and then the Mei and Gei are given visuals of each other” Neji explained pausing to make sure Naruto was understanding his words.

“In your case. You weren’t even born, so it wasn’t until the last eighteen years that the Mei became very ill, and able to have visions of you. He then ordered for you to not be brought to the Kage Palace. Our ruler is very stubborn and he doesn’t quite like the notion of love very much, for he’s had a very difficult past. So I ask you Kage-Gei to please forgive him for his actions in the eighteenth hour, and in the seventh hour. Blame me if anything, I knew full well my master would not be able to control himself, and I selfishly sough to use you as a sacrifice. In fact I expected him to least take your body fully for three days. I assure you the fault is all mine” Neji explained more, bowing his head before leaving Naruto alone in the darkness.

Naruto sighed. Things were never this confusing a day ago. He hadn’t felt much for the last couple of years, and now it seemed like every emotion wanted to make up for lost time.

Sasuke sighed beholding the form of his Gei. He was beautiful, and it wasn’t just the mate side of him feeling the attraction to the young golden man’s looks. Light was a rare occurrence in the Kage Kingdom, and Sasuke greatly disliked it.

But on Naruto it was stunning the young youth was practically made of light, everything about him was bright and shinning making Sasuke’s heart feel like it was trying to pump backwards. He wanted to reach out and touch those golden bangs, get closer to those azure eyes, and place his hands on the tan skin wondering did it feel as warm as it looked. He wanted to get a closer look at the dazzling youth not simply because of the bond but because Naruto was the most beautiful thing he had seen in his entire existence.

“Bon-Shine” He mumbled breaking the bonds he had put on his raving Gei earlier. The Gei simply looked at him from his position on the bed, his limps slowly finding a more comfortable position.

“What? No raging fire spells and trying to kill me. I’m a little disappointed in my blood thirsty Gei” Sasuke milled out, with his eyes peering into azure ones looking confused and a tad fearful of him.

“Don’t worry. I’m in much better control of my body and I won’t repeat any of the actions of last night. In case you haven’t heard it wasn’t my wish to bring you here. That was done without my orders, if there is a way to send you back it will be done.” Sasuke said taking a seat on the edge of his bed the shadows nestling at his feet, in his attempt to make them appear harmless as possible.

“Why are you looking like that? That’s what you want isn’t it?” Sasuke questioned and the usual silence of his Gei. In the dream world the youth was a storm of questions, and in the throne room a firestorm. His silent was irking the Kage-Mei.

“If I go back, won’t you die” Naruto asked, finally able to get the words out. He wondered about Neji’s earlier words. It made sense if he thought about the way the Kage-Mei looked before he touched him, and how he appeared afterward. Maybe…the Kage-Mei would die without him.

“I don’t fear death. Neji over reacted, I can survive fine without you. I don’t need a Gei much less an annoying impulsive hot head like you” Sasuke bit out. Pity was the last thing he wanted from his Gei, it wasn’t like he wanted him brought in the first place no matter how strikingly beautiful and amusing he was.

“Yeah you didn’t say that last night when you were trusting your cock up my ass. Stop playing I’ve seen the pathetic sight you were in last night before you touched me. Neji explained everything to me.” Naruto bite back, the look on the King’s face confirming his words.

So it was true.

“So you would have been more accommodating if you had known I would die? Please spare me your pity song. I’m glad I came to my senses before I seriously had sex with a moron like you. I don’t want you, the damn mating nature inside of me does. Understand that fully.” Sasuke commented back the coldness, a fog inside of his black stony eyes.

“Good. I’d be revolted if such a cold ass bastard wanted me anyway, now try and work on your body having the same feelings!” Naruto yelled as the shadows, around the Kage-Mei shook and rattled.

“Don’t worry yourself. I’ll never touch you again. I’d rather cut my cock off before thinking of having sex with something revolting as you” Sasuke said placing a mask of indifference in place at the slightly hurt look on his Gei’s face.

“Just great. However what am I posed to do now. Just wait till the gods know when for you to attempt to find a way for me to get home?” His Gei asked, resting his hands on his wrists looking eager.

“The best thing you can do for now, is learn to use those powers of yours. A demon without control of his powers is hazardous and pathetic I’ll have you brought to Shikamaru in the morning” Sasuke said making his leave before he could get stormed with questions. He couldn't bare it, he was burning up.

And all was silence in the darkness. In fact Naruto noticed, not one time had he seen any light the entire day inside of the Kage-Palace.

Sasuke shuddered sliding down the doors of his chamber. It took every ounce of his will, not to kiss, not to touch, not to drag Naruto over to him.

He sighed, the amount of lies he had told in that one sitting alone was enough to bury himself in. Revolting? He found his golden lighted Gei anything but revolting.

Huger,lust,huger,lust

“Get out of my head” Sasuke whispered to the darkness, and walked towards the training grounds.

End of Chapter One-Phionex of the Shadow-Endless Winter

Class in Session with Teacher Neji.

Good evening class, today I will teach you some of the features of the world of Sha-Ren-Ko. Let’s begin with the basics shall we?

The Kingdoms- There many Kingdoms inside the world of Sha-Ren-Ko. The Kage Kingdom is only one of hundreds of similar kingdoms inside of the world.

Kage Kingdom- The Kage Kingdom in the main southern kingdom. The unique attribute about the Shadow Kingdom is that it is always eternally nightfall, so the citizens simply refer to time in hours. For example Sasuke’s comment of being there in the eighteenth hour. The kingdom is currently under the rule of Kage-Mei named Sasuke.

Kage-Mei Sasuke- Sasuke Uchia. Is from the long line of the Kage Rulers. He took the crown after his brother murdered the rest of his family only sparing him.

Royal Attendant Neji- Wait what am I doing in this list? Oh well. I have served the Kage family for over seven thousand years. However the Kage line is more powerful than my blood, so despite my age Sasuke is still vastly more powerful than me. It is quite the pleasure sparing with him and testing my limits, I tend to pay him back for the favor in chess.

Mei- Mei is the term given to a ruler of a kingdom. They are dependent on the Gei. Which is their mate. A Gei is given to the Mei to balance out the Mei’s faults making them the perfect ruler. They are dependent on their mate for physical contact once meeting them, or after one thousand years of life.(More explanation coming next lesson)

Gei- The Mate of the Ruler Mei. The Gei not as dependent on the Mei for life, but feels uneasy when it’s not around its Mei for a long period of time. The Gei is the one who bears the heir for the Mei if both mates are male, and their life span is drastically lengthened after bonding with the Mei.

Next time in class will be discussing the Traits of Kei’s and Gei’s and the full traits of the bounding and other learning material.

Ending Drabble:Oh my god. It burns. I am so out of shape and rusty. Dreams of the old youthful days of being to crank out a story with full gusto

Sasuke: Old youthful days. Woman you not even nineteen yet.

Naruto: Indeed. Stop talking like an old fart.

TT Even the boys are mean to me. Don’t forget to review and give me cookies. It’s the only thing that keeps me going.

Oh and if you want to Beta for this Story please let me know. I'd be so pleased. I really could use some.
