The Will of Fire.

Love Is In The Air, For Some.

Jiraya sat on a bed waiting on his lover to come in after dealing with whatever he had to do. He laid down and thought about how he became one with Orochimaru. The only thing he really missed was Naruto but just knowing he's safe is good enough for him. He was facing the wall when he felt his lovers presence. Jiraya smiles but didn't turn around.
"Oh what is my Jiraya thinking about hm." Orochimaru Ask and Jiraya turned around and looked at him.
"You now come to bed." Orochimaru obliged his lover and laid down. They recently destroyed the land surrounding the sound to expand the sounds hold on this land. Jiraya held Orochimaru close to him and while people only smelled snakes on him, Jiraya smelt grass.

Six years ago, Jiraya was following Orochimaru planning to end his life but it didn't go to plan but nothing ever does. He walked in the most recent hideout and he wasn't stopped by his guards, the guards let him pass. Orochimaru probably knew he was coming but shouldn't he be more on guard? Then Kabuto came and showed Jiraya the way to Orochimaru. Jiraya was hesitant, but just kept his guard up. Out of the Sannin Orochimaru was the best out of the three of them. There was Orochimaru with the seven tails strapped to his table. Jiraya let the boy go and had his toad escort him out making sure no harm came to the boy.
"Orochimaru what are you doing." Orochimaru didn't answer. His back was still turned to Jiraya. He avoided the question all together.
"Jiraya have you come to kill me?." Jiraya looked on, that's exactly what he was here to do, so why is he being met with so little resistance.
"Yes." Orochimaru smirked.
"Kukuku Kabuto give us time alone." Jiraya was confused. Wouldn't Orochimaru want to keep his lackey to ensure he doesn't die. What the hell is going on, still Jiraya never dropped his guard.
"Yes Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto left and all that stood there was Orochimaru and Jiraya. Jiraiya looked at his old teammate and former lover, not that anybody knew they were lovers.He never really liked Tsunade, him liking her and all those girls was a mask.It was Orochimaru, it had to be him to make him feel like this.
"Jiraya stay with me." Jiraya looked surprised but shook his head.
"No know matter how much I want too, I cannot I must end you." Jiraya did the hand signs for an earth jutsu which Orochimaru quickly dodged.

Jiraya kept firing Jutsu after Jutsu but all Orochimaru did was dodge he didn't counter he didn't do anything. Jiraya thought about going with him. He saw the soft look Orochimaru gave him. He was the only person beside the third to see that look. Jiraya chuckled ah to find his love again he couldn't help but go back to him. Suddenly poof filled the room and what came out was the lord of the toads.
"Lord Fukasaku what are you doing here."
"Jiraya-boy you need to leave the snake or break the contract with the toads."
"You can't be serious."
"Jiraya-boy the great elder had a prophecy that you would fall into evil and I believe if you go with Orochimaru you would." Jiraya turned away from the toad and Orochimaru and thought about things.
"Jiraya I miss you, you remember our relationship before I left, Can't it be like that?" Jiraya stopped pacing to think about their secret relationship they hid from everybody.

"Jiraya, more harder Ah."
"Jiraya I do love you but I hate the village."
"Jiraya come with me,"
"Jiraya, I will not hate you far from it. I will love you even if you do not come with me."
"Jiraya, its time for me to go."
"Goodbye Jiraya."

Jiraya turned around and smiled and then laughed oh this was great. He loved the man, always have loved the man. This is some shit isn't it.
"I break the contract with the toads. Do not tell Naruto until he ask. Also watch out for him." Jiraya Said and Orochimaru jumped on him.
"It took some years but you finally came back to me." Jiraya smiled and kissed Orochimaru. Lord Fukasaku broke the contract and poofed back to his home.
"You can always summon my snakes whenever you want."
"Well I want to summon this snake so show me to your room." They walked hand and hand until they reached the room and they've been together every since.

Naruto and team walked through the gates the same time Hinata, Sakura and Ino did.
"Ah how was the mission?" Naruto Ask Hinata.
"It was good easy even." Hinata replies and the group walked to the tower together.
"Sasuke-kun after this can we go on a date?"
"No Sakura, I'm seeing somebody." Sakura stopped at that. It must be recent because this is the first time she's hearing about it.
"Who." Both Ino and Sakura said Well Sakura Yelled it Ino just wanted to know who got into Sasuke heart.
"Tch Troublesome." Shikamaru Said As he held Neji hand and pulled them a little way ahead. Hinata grabbed Ino's hand and did the same thing not wanting her or her beloved to get into Sakura crossfire. Naruto chuckled and walked to Sasuke and kissed him. Sakura stood there mouth agape. "I lost Sasuke to NARUTO. No no no no this isn't true it isn't reality." It was indeed reality. Naruto pulled away and smiled at Sakura.
"He's seeing me, now let's give our reports to Tsunade or she will send all of us into a wall." Naruto Said and the group started walking without a surprised and angry Sakura.

Reaching the Tower everybody but Sakura arrived and reported their mission.
"When we arrived at the wave, it was in much better shape than 5 years ago although some group by the name of Tsukinami was moving stolen  good through there. We killed anybody who associated with the group and saved some women from being sold." Ino finished and Tsunade Dismissed them.

"We arrived at the lighting country and didn't move until sunset. When we got there, there was an auction taking place. Overall the place had 50 guards with Sasuke and Myself killing 40 Of them. Neji and Shikamaru saved the girls and tried to send them to the Kage tower, but they refused saying the Kage was the one leading this. We killed the rest of the people and we didn't find the Kage amongst the dead so we sent that letter to you." Naruto ended and Tsunade furrowed her brow.
"You are Dismissed. SHIZUNE CONTACT THE FIRE DAMIYO STAT."

"Wanna grab dinner?" Naruto Said
"No can you cook something for us tonight."
"Hai anything for my mate." Naruto smiled but turned around and gave Tsunade a scroll.
"Baachan read this with seals up and people you can trust I'm leaving." Naruto left hand and hand with his mate, leaving a confused Tsunade at her chair.

"Naruto whatever you're cooking smells amazing." Sasuke said as he put his hands on Naruto's waist.
"It's salmon cooked in a white wine with fried tomatoes and white rice."
"You cook better than me." Sasuke pouted and Naruto laughed.
"Kurama taught me how to cook when I was 10, saying a good mates needs to know how to cook for his Alpha. I didn't understand then but I understand now." Naruto looked up and smiled at his Alpha and kissed him.
"Set the table, food is done." So Sasuke set the table and grabbed Tea from the fridge for Naruto and Sake for himself, Naruto only drank liquor for celebrations.

They sat and talked and got to know the each other, even though they knew a lot about each other they wanted to know it all. So Naruto bared his soul out to Sasuke about Kurama his parents and the villagers before they realized he wasn't a demon and what he told Sasuke left him upset and mad. Mad at the villagers for being so stupid and upset with himself for leaving to go find power that he ultimately didn't get. Sasuke then laughed at the irony. He wanted to get strong to protect Naruto, but Naruto ended up saving him rescuing him.

"Naruto you know the only reason I left was to get strong so I could protect you. I've always knew that I liked you. You protected me against Gaara, and the sound four. You were strong since we became genin and I wanted to be the one to protect you not you protect me. I realized now that you may be stronger than me, but I swear to protect you until my last breath. I Love You." Sasuke looked up to see a crying Naruto.

"Sasuke." Naruto wiped his tears and smiled. "I Love You Too." Naruto finished and Sasuke got up and Kissed Naruto. Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke and let Sasuke lead them both to bed.
