Warlock for Hire

Tension

Last time:

The sound of the waves splashing against the shore coaxed the two lovers into a peaceful slumber with the stars as the only witnesses ...

XXXXXXXXXX

Yoko sighed, "Why did Naruko want to meet so early if she was going to be late?" He just shrugged and unsealed a canvas to paint on while waiting for his lovers and sister ...

"Ummm ... Yoko."

The wizard saint looked up, "Sasori, Deidara it has been a while. Need something?"

"First, happy birthday ... and we ... we want to ask you something." stuttered Deidara.

"Hmmm ... and what is that?" Yoko asked without even looking away from his canvas.

Sasori smiled, "Which art do you prefer? The art you can keep for a long time or the art that disappears quickly?"

"That's a tricky question." Yoko paused a moment to think about the question. "It would have to be both. The long lasting art, like a painting, is like a beautiful relationship ... but the art that vanishes in an instant, like say fireworks, is like great sex. Personally, I don't think you can't have one without the other."

"Never thought about it like that." confessed the blushing redhead. A door appeared next to the blonde startling the two mercenaries. The door opened to reveal a strange courtyard filled with doors standing by themselves and three people walked through.

"Hello Yoko." said the green haired man. Sasori and Deidara's eyes widened as the blonde stood up and kissed each of the three men.

"It's good to see you Freed, Loki, Jellal ... are you guys sure you want to be here? This won't be a fun visit." Yoko warned.

Loki smiled, "That depends on your definition of fun, love. I have a feeling this will be interesting ... you must be Sasori and Deidara, the two artists of the Akatsuki, Yoko mentioned you before." The two mercenaries smiled and spent some time talking, but the conversation was suddenly interrupted by two kunai flying towards Loki and Freed.

Not one person bothered moving as the razor sharp weapons approached ... Yoko casually flicked the kunai away with a gust of wind and looked over his shoulder. "You have some nerve attacking us like that, Cat, Boar."

The two anbu jumped down from trees, "We were trying to find you, Naruto-sama. What are you doing with these people in this dangerous place? Are they holding you against your will?" asked Cat.

Yoko laughed, "Oh so it's 'sama' huh ... wow, you guys are sucking up! To answer your question no, but if guys this hot took me hostage ... do not save me." His lovers and the mercenaries chuckled. Yoko sealed his canvas away ...

"Then these people are your friends?" asked Boar as both he and his partner lowered their weapons ... which was not a good idea.

"Lovers, actually." After glancing at Freed, Jellal and Loki he leaned over and kissed not only their lips, but Deidara and Sasori's as well. Both of the mercenaries blushed wildly and couldn't stop the soft whimpers from escaping as those warm lips caressed theirs ...

Cat coughed to get their attention. "The party will start soon, Nar-"

"My name is Yoko, you would do well to remember that ... shall we take a stroll through hell?" said the blonde a little too happily as they left ...

XXXXXXXXXX

Naruko scowled as Minato stood outside her bedroom door, "Is there something you want? I'm kind of busy right now." She could sense Jiraiya perched in a tree outside as if he was waiting for something.
