My One and Only

My exams for now are finished (WHOHOOO!) well for now at least I got more coming up in June. The main problem now is through that I need to concentrate on my Uni entries, and interviews. Kinda stressing about that since I don’t feel my portfolio is up to scratch, or that I’ll a make a fool of my self during the interview (wouldn’t be the first time…)



See the thing is I don’t range too far out of my style, I prefer pencil sketches over, acrylic pain, watercolour, and chalk median drawings. So of course most of my things seem unfinished even if they aren’t. So I’ll be working my ass of creating stuff out of different medians…kill me now!



To Stonelark: lol yeah that would have been funny man the image just won't leave my mind! Originally I was going to make Kyuubi 'butch', but I guess Inuyasha influenced me too much!

Chapter 13: Seeing the sights



Naruto ran through the hallway in a befuddled state; he didn’t really know where the exit was, instead he just stumbled through the doors. His shoulders slammed against the walls, pushing past servants, even managing to twist his ankle in the rush. After running around wildly he finally managed to find a way out; it was a training ground, with wooden dummies dotted around the area, rope swings, ladders, and other training equipment. He limped towards one of the dummies and sat down by it, resting his back against the splintered wood with his head hung wearily.



When did things get so complicated?



He remembered when things were simple, all before this damned mating season. Don’t get him wrong, he cared about Sasuke; it was too soon to say if it was ‘love’, but he really did care about the young wolf. Yet since meeting him nothing was straightforward anymore. His world got turned upside down, and he had to adjust to a different world of which he didn’t really feel a part of.



And now this!



He had tried not to think about his ‘family’, it was better off for his sanity if he just imagined that his real parents were Iruka and Kakashi; to him that made sense. They loved him, and took care of him. What was before them didn’t matter, because when he did think about it, it only depressed him. Since the villagers seemed to loathe him so much, he could believe that his parents were the same. Normally it would have been thought that finding out his parents (or parent in this case) were the opposite would make him happy. He should be glad that his ‘mother’ adored him so much that he risked his life and future for him, but it didn’t.



It only made Naruto resent his own existence even more.



Wasn’t being the reason for taking away an idol’s life a good enough basis why he should not continue living? That’s what he got told all his life: a stain upon youkai history, an abomination. He didn’t deserve anyone giving up their life for him, especially not someone like Kyuubi.



A sob shook his body; he clutched his head, wringing his blonde hair between his fingers. The pain was a distraction, if only for a little while. Soon he gave up ripping his hair out, and sighed. Fox ears twitching, Naruto looked towards the entrance to see his mate standing there, eyebrows scrunched up in worry.



“Naruto-”



“Did you know?” he asked.



“...No… not at the beginning,” he answered hesitantly.



Naruto went quiet again as he looked away from Sasuke and towards the forest surrounding the grounds. The Ookami made his way towards the blonde and sat down beside him, turning to stare in the same direction Naruto did. In complete silence they just sat there, staring awkwardly ahead of them. The breeze filtered through the air, carrying with it fallen leaves; autumn had well and truly set in. A few weeks and winter would be approaching; the world would drastically change then… if it hadn’t already for the two young youkai.



“When…” Sasuke’s breath hitched, and he turned to look at the blonde. Naruto tried to gather his bearings, even when Sasuke and him talked they hadn’t talked about everything. This was one part of his past that Naruto was too ashamed to reveal; not even his foster father knew about this, although Iruka had his suspicions.



“When I was younger I wasn’t liked a lot by the other villagers, you remember how I said that I didn’t go to the village often?” Sasuke nodded. “That was because I wasn’t welcomed there.”



Naruto got a far-off look in his eyes, and his expression turned somber like he was remembering a fleeting dream…



///Little Naruto was hiding behind a tree, watching the children playing near the school yard solemnly. He wasn’t allowed inside, he wasn’t allowed to be near other children, but he really wanted to play there with them. Blue eyes watched sadly as the other kids played games of tag, hop-scotch, and hide and seek. His little fox ears lowered sadly, and tears threatened to spill.



He really wanted to go play…



“What are you doing here?”



Naruto lifted up his little head to see the person towering above him; pale blonde hair almost white, and beady black eyes looking down at him in contempt. Naruto cowered against the tree, his tail tucked under the kimono in fear. He had lingered too long in the playground and now he was caught. The older youkai reached down and grabbed Naruto by the scruff of his kimono, raising the kittling into the air.



“Filthy orphan, don’t you know that an abomination like you shouldn’t be here,” he said with a sneer.



Naruto was too afraid to answer; he looked around the area to call out to someone who would help him, but he already knew by now that no one ever came.



“Listen to me brat, you are not allowed inside the school, or the village. You aren’t welcome; if I see you again I’ll slit you in half,” he spat, then he got an eerie glint in his dark eyes and the man smirked. “Or maybe I should put you out of your misery now, huh? What do you think?”



Naruto saw the glint of metal; he recognized the blade that the youkai took out. He squirmed and whimpered, but the other demon wouldn’t let him go.



“Mizuki, what are you doing?!”



Startled the youkai released his grip on the blonde Kitsune, and Naruto dropped to the ground with a loud thump; he watched with watery blue eyes a small brunet running towards them. Not knowing if the brunet came to his rescue or to hurt him just like this demon, he ran away…///



“Mizuki-sensei? You were attacked by Mizuki-sensei?!” Sasuke growled out.



He remembered that teacher from his academic days, the demon had always been nice towards his students; but it was not unknown what he thought about ‘mixed-breeds’. He wasn’t allowed to teach at the academy anymore, and had supposedly become a drunkard in recent years.



Naruto flinched, but nodded an answer. “Iruka was the one who saved me that day… but that wasn’t the only time. When I was younger I couldn’t hunt for my own food, so I had to go to the village and sometimes steal things to eat, of course I got caught more often than not and punished for it. It was only luckily that I healed fast enough…” he lowered his gaze, and was now looking at his toes.



“At least now their hate makes sense at least.”



“Huh?” Sasuke was surprised, why would Naruto say that?



“I took something away from this world Sasuke, because of me he…” his voice started to break, and tears started to spill from his eyes. By Gaia, this was too much to take!



Sasuke instantly understood what Naruto was talking about and grew angry. “You baka!” he screamed. Naruto was shocked; did he displease his mate?



The wolf grabbed his shoulders and forced Naruto to look at him. “You should never think that! Your mother gave up his life for you because he cared about you, so don’t let that sacrifice be wasted by listening to some narrow-minded demons!”



“But-”



“No, don’t you dare think about it!” he spat, and started nuzzling Naruto’s neck, causing the blonde to shudder. He kissed upwards, trailing his jawline and blew on his furry ear. “Not everyone is like them; your mother loved you, Kakashi and Iruka love you, my parents love you, and have you forgotten that I love you as well?” he whispered.



Naruto gasped, he had heard the words of endearment before but whenever he heard them they made him shudder in delight. He grasped onto Sasuke’s kimono and held on to the older youkai desperately. It took a while for him to finally calm down, but Sasuke never left him. He smiled against the raven’s chest.



“Better now?”



Naruto nodded. Sasuke finally released him and kissed his forehead before staring intently into his blue eyes. “Do you want to go out?”



“Where?”



“The village.” Naruto tensed up instantly; he didn’t want to go there, he didn’t want to meet their accusing glares.



“No one will harm you Naruto; those villagers don’t deserve your fear, and what better way to show them that than walking right through the streets with an eye-candy like me in your arms,” he said with a wink. “And we still have to go to the clinic and see if something has happened here yet…” he said, patting Naruto’s stomach.



The blonde blushed cutely and with Sasuke’s help stood up; the wolf took the blonde’s hand and they left the ground and headed towards the village.



Whispers and glances followed them. Many of the younger generation just wondered who the blushing Kitsune with young Uchiha was. The older generation were furious to see the fox in their village, much less staining the young wolf pup’s reputation with his presence. Sasuke warded off all their advances though with fierce glares, he wasn’t going to let anyone comment on Naruto. The bite mark by the junction of their shoulders already revealed their status of mates, so any negative comments against Naruto was a blow against Sasuke, and even worse, against the Uchiha name.



They reached the clinic soon enough and Naruto was glad to be out of the spotlight. Sasuke talked to the healer and she led them to a room and told them that the head-healer would see them soon. The wait was a mix of awkwardness and excitement, and they almost jumped up when the head-healer entered the room.



She was a busty youkai, curvaceous, with golden eyes and blonde hair pulled into two ponytails hanging loosely by the sides of her head. She glanced at the blonde and her eyes widened in surprise and recognition.



“Uchiha-san, I’m healer Tsunade, is this your spouse?” she asked.



Sasuke nodded, “We just came for a clinical check to see if Naruto is, er…”



“Expecting?”



The both nodded as a reply. “Alright then, Naruto I need you to lay down and open up your kimono so I can look at your stomach.”



The blonde did as he was instructed and hesitantly opened up his kimono; it was awkward for him to unravel the cloth, he had never been naked in front of anyone expect for Sasuke. Tsunade nodded and kneeled down in front of the Kitsune; her hands started glowing a pale green as she hovered them over Naruto‘s stomach for a few minutes. She hummed, and then shook her head.



“I’m sorry Naruto you aren’t expecting, but it is still too early to say.”



Naruto was disappointed to say the least; even Sasuke was slightly saddened, he really liked the idea of Naruto being pregnant with his children. But the healer was right; it was still too early to tell about any changes.



“I would say that you come to me after a week or so, and then I’ll be able to give a better diagnostic,” she said with a smile.



Sasuke and Naruto nodded their thanks and left the room, Tsunade smiling happily when they left. “It was good to see you again child, you’ve grown up so well...” she murmured to herself.



She still remembered the day she had helped Kyuubi give birth. Tsunade had fallen in love with the kit as soon as she laid her eyes on him. It broke her heart that she had to give him up to those greedy council members.



At least he looked like he was happier now.



~*~



“You aren’t happy.”



“Huh?” Sasuke turned to look at Naruto quizzically.



The blonde had his head bowed, “I’m not pregnant…”



“Oh… well, I won’t say I wasn’t disappointed.” Naruto flinched and looked away. “But it will happen when it happens, and I’m not going to push it,” he finished with a smile, causing Naruto’s eyes to sparkle. This was one of the few rare smiles he had gotten from the Ookami, and Naruto thought they were breathtaking.



“So, shall we go shopping?”



Naruto cocked his head to the side cutely. “Shopping? What for?” he asked.



“You of course; honestly, you can be such a dobe!”



The Kitsune pouted, “I’m not a dobe, don’t call me that you-you teme!” and stuck his tongue out.



Sasuke couldn’t help but smirk, he loved riling up his mate. “Better put that away unless you’re going to do something with it dobe,” he gave a lusty look to emphasize his point.



Naruto ‘eeped’ and quickly looked away; the wolf couldn’t help but chuckle and lead him towards the tailors. Sasuke looked over the displays; his family came here a lot, and he knew the owner well. The store sold both pre-made yukata’s and tailored kimonos. Naruto watched the displays in awe; he had never seen so many different designs and materials.



“Pick out some pre-made yukata’s for now; we’ll get you measured for some kimonos and winter clothes.”



“But these look expensive…” Naruto murmured, seeing some of the prices.



Sasuke grinned, “You’re an Uchiha now Naruto, price doesn’t matter.”



Naruto felt nervous but went towards the displays anyway, making sure to look at the cheaper cloth; a sliding door opening caught Sasuke’s attention, and a chubby neko youkai came through. As soon as he spotted the young Uchiha he started to grin a Cheshire grin and wandered over to the Ookami.



“Ah, Uchiha-san, how can I help you this glorious day!” he exclaimed.



“I’m hoping to buy a full wardrobe for my mate.”



The grin widened when he saw the money-making opportunity. “Of course, of course, now where is she?” he asked and looked over Sasuke, and his eyes widened when he saw the Kitsune.



“What are you doing here you filthy thing!” the neko roared, and stampeded towards the scared blonde.



Naruto backed himself against the wall in fear as the neko youkai hissed and growled at Naruto. “How dare you touch my wares, you beast!” he was about to slit the blonde in half.



But the blow never came.



A loud growl filled the room as someone grabbed the tailor’s arm; the neko demon turned around to see a furious Ookami. Sasuke had his teeth bared in warning and his eyes glowed red, with the Sharingan swirling in anger.



“U-U-Uchiha-san?” the tailor stuttered.



“What do you think you’re doing to my mate?!” he snapped with a throaty growl.



“M-Mate?!” he looked back at the shaking fox and noticed the mark on his neck, and his eyes widened.



“I-I a-apol-logize,” he stammered and quickly stepped back, Sasuke however didn’t relent on his grip ‘til the tailor was at a safe distance, and even then he stood between his mate and the neko.



“Uchiha-san?”



“Do something like that again, and I won’t hesitate to kill you,” he snarled.



“Yes-yes of course!”



Sasuke then turned towards his mate, “Are you alright?” Naruto gave a quick nod, but didn’t look up to meet his gaze.



The Ookami sighed, and then glared again at the tailor, “We’ll be leaving then.”



“Wait, wait Uchiha-san, I apologize; I did not know!”



“Even if you didn’t know you should not treat another person in such a way; do not expect another Uchiha to come here again Mahiro-san.” And they both left.



The whole way back Sasuke was fuming. Naruto trailed behind dejectedly; he should have known that things wouldn’t turn out alright. And now it looked like Sasuke had lost a long-time partnership with a tailor.



“Sasuke…”



“It’s not your fault Naruto, it’s that pretentious demon! How dare he attack you!”



“Sasuke it’s alright,” he called out and hugged the wolf from behind. “I’m fine; you saved me already, so there is no need to be so angry.”



Sasuke sighed, “We’ll get mother to take the measurements, and hopefully your new clothes will be ready soon.”



Naruto watched his mate for a long time and he frowned; Sasuke shouldn’t be so upset. Naruto was already used to the villagers acting like this, but it had to be something new for Sasuke. Suddenly a smile bloomed on the blonde’s tanned face; he intertwined their hands and started pulling his mate down a worn path



“C’mon,” he urged the wolf on.



“Where are we going?” Sasuke asked.



“You’ll see,” he said and gave a cheeky grin.



Sasuke was confused about where Naruto was taking him; they ran over a bridge and climbed up a steep hill. Sasuke didn’t recognize the area at all, he had never been here before. The wolf looked in front of him and saw his excited mate standing in front of what looked like a cliff. A part of him was panicking; was Naruto going to jump or something?



He hurried towards him but slowed down after a few steps. This had to be the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.



Naruto stood on a hill overlooking Konoha village; the sun reflected off his blonde, literally making him glow. The smile on his tanned face was so sweet, and his blue eyes glittered in a joyful way. He was breathtaking, and for a few minutes Sasuke forgot why he was angry. He smiled and walked towards Naruto before putting his arms around him. They turned to look at the village, and it was so calming to see how serene the place was. Which was odd after all the pain it seemed to give his mate.



“Where is this?” Sasuke finally asked.



“Konoha Mountain. I always come up here to think… whenever I see this view I forget all about the demons living there. All I see is this view, and instantly I’m calmed.”



Sasuke couldn’t help but chuckle even he felt calm, but that wasn’t because of the view. It was rather because he had his beautiful Kitsune in his arms, and that was the best thing that could possibly happen to him. Suddenly a wicked thought ran through his mind. He looked around the area, and a smirk grew on his face he realized how empty the area was.



Naruto gasped when he felt a mouth sucking on his mark; Sasuke nibbled on the area, kissing up the tanned neck. A pale hand undid the kimono, and touching the warm skin underneath, he tweaked a pink nub. Naruto mewled and tilted his head to the side as he felt himself harden under Sasuke’s ministrations. Something hard poked his backside, and the blonde couldn’t help but blush before turning around and kissing the taller Ookami.



Yeah, this made it all better.
