Wolfie Foxie

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

A/N:

Bailey: This is the famous (or infamous (or maybe neither)) Bailey speaking. Er, probably more widely known as…um, Bailey-babes. But don't call me that; I'll rip your intestines out of your eardrums and chop them into cubes with your own toenails (once I peel 'em off) and then make you eat them again. Only Tankun (Vampy) can avoid such a dismal fate, 'cus I wubba her~

Er, anyway.

We've gotten a few reviews curious as to how Naruto can bear child, seeing as he's (quite obviously) male. I think we probably should have thought to post an explanation in the first chapter, but…um, we didn't. Heh. Before I explain, I'd just like to say, very calmly and nicely:

Please be nice in your fucking reviews.

I can understand that we make a few errors, and that we may churn chapters out a bit slowly, but we are people with lives (gasp!) that do not revolve around writing fanfiction. We have school, social lives, and chores to attend to and do not always find the time to write. Most of you have been very kind so far, and those of you who messed up have apologized and been forgiven. I'm not referring to any single person in saying the previous, but just for future reference, be conscious of the fact that we are human beings with a set of real, working emotions!

So, anyway, I'll just step off here. I'm pretty sure I've made a bad first impression on you all, but, really, I'm a nice person! Heh…heh…

…sigh.

Vampy: I’m so happy with how many reviews we have gotten for Wolfie Foxie *__* It makes me burst with joy! :bursts: Anyways I would also like to apologize for how long it has take me to get this up here… Lots of stuff has happened, like my computer dying for a whole month, my senior year (which speaks for itself) and a few pieces of crap in-between :3

So, enjoy this chapter my lovelies!! :hearts:

Warnings: They have ears and tails. That's all I'm going to say.

Pairings: SasuNaru, and random ones that pop up around the corner.

Wolfie Foxie

Part 2

-----------------------------------------------

Naruto awoke to warmth, and a faint, unplaceable scent. There was a comforting weight around his shoulders, and a soothing thumping noise beating rhythmically nearby. He inhaled deeply, and recognized the scent as the smell of rain. He didn't want to wake up just yet; this was the most comfortable he'd been in a long time.

Sasuke woke up when something snuggled into his chest. Still half asleep he pulled whatever it was closer to him enjoying the warmth.


"Mmmn," Naruto sighed softly, enjoying the gentle, almost possessive grip around his waist. He could easily stay this way for hours.

Sasuke reluctantly opened his eyes and looked down. He had to admit, the sight before him was amazing. Naruto looked so peaceful in his sleep. It took him awhile to realize that Naruto was actually snuggling up to him, and he was holding the fox. Sasuke's eyes softened a bit and he brought a hand up to gently run his fingers threw Naruto's hair.

Naruto let out a sound similar to a purr, a slightly smile pulling at his lips in his semi-conscious state.

"Awwwww," Someone said softly from the door. Taisuke was peering in, grinning again. "How cute. You weren't too rough with him last night, eh, son?"

Sasuke turn around quickly to glare at the door, when had his father gotten there!? "What do you want?" He growled out.

Sasuke's harsh words brought Naruto to full wakeness. The fox yawned into Sasuke's chest and opened his eyes, blinking sleepily at the sight that met him. Why was he looking at a chest? "Nnmn?" He mumbled, furrowing his brows in confusion. He wasn't much for coherency early in the morning.

Taisuke winked. "I'll leave you two alone for now," He chuckled, ignoring his son's question. He shut the door and walked off, laughing all the way.

Sasuke didn’t notice that Naruto had woken up. He continued to glare at the door his father previously stood in, mumbling awful things about his father under his breath. His grip tightening on Naruto even more.

Sasuke didn't notice that Naruto had woken up. He continued to glare at the door his father previously stood in, mumbling awful things about his father under his breath. His grip tightening on Naruto even more.

Naruto looked up, finding his nose pressed into a pale neck. What the hell?! "Nngh?!" Naruto grunted, which meant 'what the hell is going on?!' in Naruto-morning-talk.

Sasuke blinked moving his head back a bit so that he could tilt his head down to look at Naruto. "Hn. You're finally awake, Dobe." His hold on the blond showing no signs of letting go soon.

"Whuh..." The blond grumbled, squinting at Sasuke. "What...? What am I doing here?" He had no memory of how he got in Sasuke's bed.

...Oh my god. I didn't...holy shit, did I...did we...?!

Sasuke stared at Naruto. Is he serious? "You slept here...remember?"

Naruto's eyes bulged. "I did? Why?! Wh-what did...?!" The blond began to grow more panicky, a blush stealing across his face at the thought of why he could be in Sasuke's bed.

"Why would I know why you wanted to? It was only last night dobe, you knocked on my door and asked to sleep with me." He raised a brow at Naruto. It didn't look like Naruto was sleep walking last night. Did he have some kind of problem where he forgets every night once he walks up?

"I-I asked?!" What the hell?! He had asked to sleep with Sasuke?! What kind of slutty thing--

...Oh, wait. Now he remembered. "Oh," The blond muttered, blushing at his foolishness.


"Took you long enough." He smirked down at Naruto. At least the fox didn't forget every night once he went to sleep.

"Uhm..." The blond stuttered shyly, "Can you...let go now?"

Sasuke then realized that his arms were wrapped tightly around the blonde’s waist. Smirking he brought the blond closer to his chest. "...No." He leaned his head down just in front of Naruto's staring into bright blue orbs before making their lips touch.

Naruto let out a small, startled noise at the contact, his body going rigid. The paralysis prevented him from thinking coherently, cut off all messages from his brain to his body. He brain screamed many different things, ranging from 'kick him in the crotch!' to 'suck his brains out, dammit!', but his body refused to open any of them.

The young Uchiha stared into Naruto's eyes as his tongue came out to trace the fox's soft lips.

Another shock passed through Naruto in the form of a tremor, coming to a rest at his lips and forcing them to part. His body limpened, still slightly stiff but reminiscent of half-cooked spaghetti.

Sasuke's tongue slipped inside and explored the wet cavern of Naruto's mouth. He prodded and slid against Naruto's tongue trying to get a reaction out of the blond fox.

Another shiver shook Naruto's fame, his eyelids lowering at the feel of Sasuke's tongue in his mouth. A small, almost incoherent noise rose up in his throat, his own tongue shifting almost unnoticeably against Sasuke's persuasive one.

Sasuke smirked when he felt the small tongue move slightly against his own. Rolling Naruto onto his back instead of his side, Sasuke tried to deepen the kiss even further.

Instinctively, Naruto's lips parted further, his eyelids sinking closed as if weights had been placed on each of his eyelashes. His chin tilted upwards while his head angled to the side slightly, another, stronger noise emitting from the blonde's vocal chords. He was kissing back now, still timidly, and dare not venturing to Sasuke's mouth.

One of his hands came up from around the blonde’s waist to tangle in his hair bringing him as close as possible. His eye closed soon after he saw the blue disappear under Naruto's eyelids. His tongue dances with Naruto's, occasionally gliding over teeth and the roof of the sweet mouth. All to soon he had to pull away for air.

Naruto almost whined aloud when Sasuke pulled away. The blond glanced down to see a quivering string of saliva still connecting the two, before dissolving into the air and breaking. A dark blush was on his cheeks, creeping down his neck. His eyes were covered with a glazed, dreamy look, kiss-swollen lips parting to blankly stutter, "I-I..."

Sasuke stared at those lips moving closer so that they were almost touching. "Yes..?" He asked quietly.

"I..." He almost closed his eyes again, almost tilted his head up and mashed his lips against Sasuke's, almost gave in to that nagging plea in the back of his mind. Almost.

"Kyah! Pervert!" He shrieked and roughly shoved Sasuke off of him. "Molesting me again?! And so early?! Do you ever stop?!" He crawled backwards, pressing his back against the headboard while he glared, blushing at the wolf that had just been ravishing his mouth moments earlier.

Startled Sasuke clawed at the bed sheets, the only way he wouldn't fall off, and glared at Naruto. "What the hell?! You enjoy it but then you turn around and push me away?" He sat up and looked down at the blond fox. "Why don't you admit that you like this?" When did I admit I liked this?

"Because--!" The blond cried, then faltered.

"Be...c..." Because...because...he's a pervert, and a bastard, and has a beautiful smile. ...Wait, what?

"Because...I hate you!" He shot out, for a lack of anything better to say.

Sasuke didn’t bother saying anything back to Naruto, instead he swung his feet over the edge of the bed and got up to start changing.


------------------


The skies exploded with colors, beacons celebrating the upcoming marriage that would unite the fox and wolf clans. Offhandedly, Naruto realized that his 'adventure' hadn't really been an adventure at all; he hadn't 'found himself', and had ended up at the doorstep of just whom he had been running from.

Or so he told himself.

The blond sighed in a mixture of contentment and solemn-ness, leaning over the railing of the balcony that extended from Sasuke's room.

Sasuke watched Naruto instead of the fireworks. "Naruto, I've been wondering. Why did you run from your home?" He knew it was random, but it was eating away at his brain.

"Hn?" Naruto replied vaguely, distracted by the fireworks. "Oh." He blushed slightly, the effect increased by an explosion of red flames above. "I was running...from you and the marriage. I didn't want to go through with it."

...Didn’t? What about now? Don't I still want to remain unbound from this jerk?

...Don’t I...?

Naruto wasn't the only one who caught that. Sasuke stared at Naruto's back in surprise. "Didn't?" He took a slight pause, nervous to ask his next question. "What about now..?"

"Um...I-I, I don't..." He fell silent, blushing cheeks and hooded, embarrassed eyes obscured by his bangs as he hung his head. "N-now, I d-don't...think..." The words jumbled in his throat, forming a hot lump of nervousness and incoherency. Unthinkingly, his mind reached for the past few days. How happy he had been. How safe he had felt. Was it possible...? Could he be...?

"I think I...I'm..." He gulped, "f-falling...in lo--"

Suddenly a blur of red passed by grabbing the blond by his waist, as gently as he could going so fast, and jumping away toward the east. "He's mine.." were the only words uttered in the wind directed at the Uchiha.

Sasuke was stunned. He caught only glimpses of what happened and didn't realize what was going on until a few seconds too late. Sasuke looked in the direction the blond was taken in with furious eyes. His!? Naruto is MINE. Not even giving his thoughts a second notice he quickly jumped over the railing to chase down the kidnapper.

"Wha--wha--" The blond stuttered, the scenery whipping past him at an astonishing rate. Momentarily stunned, it took a minute for what had happened to register in his mind. "Who the hell are you!? Put me down!" He squirmed, pulling at the kidnapper's arm in futile attempts of escaping. The arm tightened around the fox's waist. "No, I won't let you go. You are mine." Aqua colored eyes turned to look coldly at the blond.

Sasuke never took his eyes off the pair in front of him. He used all the power and energy he could to push his legs faster and cover more distance.

Naruto felt a chill go down his spine as those eyes bored into his own. They were mesmerisingly cold, causing his clawing fingers to go limp in their escaping efforts. In the corner of his eyes, he caught movement, and jerked his head away from those frightening eyes.

"Sasuke!" he cried, spotting the wolf hot on their trail. The sight of him caused a fiery rage to burn away the chill, and the fox redoubled his efforts. "No, I'm not yours, you asshole! Now let me go!"

Sasuke, don't let him take me away...!

The red head growled when Naruto called out for the other then stated he was not his. He turned his eyes to look at the angry wolf following him. Suddenly stopping, The kidnapper turned to glare threateningly at Sasuke.

Sasuke saw the one holding Naruto suddenly stop causing him to quickly put on the breaks so he wouldn’t run into them. Breathing a bit hard Sasuke returned the glare directed at him.

Naruto gazed longingly at Sasuke, trying to pull away from the kidnapper, but his grip was like steel. "Dammit, let me go! I don't know who the hell you think you are, but you can't just go around grabbing people and calling them yours when you've never even met them before!" He glared up at the redhead, and pounded on his chest.

Sasuke felt his eyes burn as he glared at the red head before him. "Who are you? And what do you want with him." He growled out.

The kidnapper ignored the fox and the pounding on his chest. "Gaara. Uzumaki Naruto is mine." Cold aqua eyes never faulted as they now stared into blood red.

Naruto growled, opening his mouth to tell Gaara for the umpteenth time that he wasn't his. "I'm no--"

The sharp scent of ashes filed Naruto's sensitive nostrils, choking him to incoherency. And just like that, Gaara and Naruto were gone.

Sasuke blinked. Sasuke would have panicked if he didn't have such good control of his emotions, but he was very close to losing that control. Quickly he ran back to the palace, he had to tell his father.


-------------------------

"What?!" Taisuke's voice ricocheted off the walls of the palace, echoing with a fury-filled roar that soon followed. "Uzumaki was kidnapped?! By who?!" His tail jerked angrily, and his teeth gritted together tightly. He was gonna get hell from those foxes if they heard about this.

The young Uchiha winced at his father voice. "Yes, he was kidnapped. I tried to stop the kidnapper but he disappeared before my eyes. He looked neither wolf nor fox...I also only got his name." Anger showed clearly in Sasuke's eyes as he spoke.

"Well? What is it!?" Taisuke demanded, his ears twitching in anger.

"Gaara." Sasuke growled out. The burning sensation returning to his eyes.

---------------------

Naruto was placed, with a surprising amount of care, on a bed by his captor. This did not lessen his rage, however.

"Look, Gaara what's-your-face, what the hell was with that stunt you just pulled?!" Naruto barked, staring up into Gaara's emotionless eyes. "Just who do you think you are, stealing me and calling me yours? I don't even know you!"

Gaara's face did not change but his small red colored ears did twitch. "....You don't remember me." It was more a statement than a question. Suddenly, Gaara turned and began walking out of the room.

"Wha--? Hey! Come back here! What do you mean, I don't remember?!" Naruto yelled, feeling his anger rise. This 'Gaara' was infuriating! Even Sasuke wasn't this annoying! He stood up and made to storm after the redhead. "Don't ignore me!"

Gaara turned back around when Naruto got to close, putting their faces so close they could feel each other's breath. Before Naruto could react Gaara used the confusion to his advantage and closed the small gap between them.


"Mmph--!" Naruto grunted, eyes going wide as Gaara's lips came in contact with his own. A sense of deja-vu washed over him, and Naruto's train of thought stopped save for one phrase.

Sasuke's lips are softer.

The thought of Sasuke made an electric shock jolt his brain back into a functioning state, and Naruto jerked away from Gaara. "Dammit! I'm going to get really mad if I don't start getting some answers!"

Gaara looked a little angry at Naruto breaking off the kiss but dismissed it and turned around going back out the door. Quickly he closed and locked the door before Naruto could follow him out. Gaara's cold and emotionless voice filtered through the door. "Don't bother trying to escape."

Naruto wilted when he heard the definite click of a lock resounding throughout the quiet, dark room. It was small, and had only a small window high above Naruto's reach, and a bed. He sighed, sulking back to the bed and laid down on it. He was highly aware of how cold and empty the bed felt without Sasuke's presence. Without anything else to do, Naruto drifted off into a dreamless, lonely sleep, his fiancée’s name echoing longingly in his mind.

Gaara walked slowly away from the room he locked the fox in. The red raccoon soon entered and room lit with nothing but candles. Many female raccoons, hardly wearing anything, could be seen no-matter where you looked. At the far end of the room sat the man that Gaara hated the most, his father, Shukaku.

"Gaara-kun," Shukaku purred in a soft voice, a thin smile curving his mouth upwards. "I trust that the fox is taken care of?" His fingers, clawed with long nails capable of shredding a man in half, tapped rhythmically against the arm of his chair.

"Yes...sir." It was hard for Gaara to keep the anger out of his voice when around this man. "He's locked in the room you wanted him in." His tail twitched every now and then in anger.

"Good job, Gaara-kun," Shukaku purred, his red ears slicking back in pleasure. "Tch, won't that silly Yondaime be upset when he finds his precious kit missing?" He let out a hissing, sinister chuckle.

Gaara glared at one of the passing girls before looking back at his father. "When will we be wed? You said that if I brought him here he would marry me."

"Soon, my son, soon," Shukaku replied, examining a nearby woman closely. "These things cannot be rushed. You will be wed within a few days." His thin lips curled into a sickening smile. "But first...we must send out the...invitations."

Gaara nodded, not waiting for his father to dismiss him, and walked out of the room. As much as his father was helping him with getting his love back, he still hated the man.

----------------------------------


"This is bad," Taisuke mumbled, frown lines making him seem years older as he stared down at the slip of paper in his hands.

To the esteemed Uchiha Family of the Wolf Clan,

You are hereby invited to attend the wedding of Naruto of the Fox Clan and Gaara of the Raccoon Clan. It will be held on the second full moon, two days from now.

Shukaku

Taisuke grimaced--there was a smear of blood at the bottom. Who's it was, was impossible to tell. Shukaku...he was the leader of the Raccoon Clan. Compared to the Fox and Wolf clan's relationship, the one between the Wolves and Raccoons was downright spiteful. It didn't help much that Shukaku was a dirty womanizing bastard.

"The Foxes won't be very pleased when they hear about this...."

At that moment the door to the room Taisuke was in burst open to show a very angry fox. "TAISUKE!" Yondaime yelled as loud as he could. "What the hell is the meaning of THIS!?" He held in his grip a peice of paper identical to Taisuke's.

Dammit. "Precisely what I'd like to know, Yondaime-san," Taisuke sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose wearily. "Last night, Uzumaki-kun was kidnapped by a boy called, according to Sasuke, Gaara. Unfortunately, I know nothing other than this and what is printed on this peice of paper."

"And Sasuke didn't do anything to stop him!? What kind of boy is that? And while I'm on the subject Why was I not informed my son was here? I only knew when I got this letter yesterday!" Yondaime was seething. His ears pulled back in anger and most likely stress. "I have been looking for him for days!" He walked up to the table in front of Taisuke and slammed the peice of paper down with as much force as he could gather.

"You didn't know he was here?" Taisuke repeated, incredulous. "He told us that you knew, and that there was no need for a messenger. Also, I'd like it if you didn't speak so unkindly about my son, Yondaime-san," The wolf growled. "He did everything within his power to stop this...Gaara." He took a deep breath and sighed exasperatedly, anger slipping away. "These matters are trialsome--we shouldn’t waste our time on them. The moon approaches quickly, and something must be done."

Yondaime tried to calm himself down. "I'm sorry Taisuke-san...I have been awake for days on end looking for my son. When I got this...letter, telling me that he had been here I rushed right over. I've been traveling here non-stop since last night." The fox took a breath trying to calm himself further. Then something clicked in his head, and he looked at Taisuke. "Did you say Gaara?"

"Yes," Taisuke replied, brows furrowing curiously. "Gaara of the Raccoon Clan, apparently."

Yondaime growled. "They have my son? My letter only told me that you had given him over to them. It didn't say to who though." Yondaime brought a hand to his face, rubbing his forehead lightly.

"So, you have heard of Gaara?" Taisuke inquired. "And this..Shukaku?"

Yondaime nodded. "Yes I have. We used to be great allies, until I got married."

"Married?" Taisuke frowned, confused. "The Raccoon Tribe stole your son because you got married?"

"I see now..." Yondaime's ears flattened against his head. "At the time my wife was only my slave and Shukaku would always visit my lands. He asked me several times to sell her to him, and I always refused. Then I married her and he was furious. He broke off our alliance and I never heard from him."

"I see..." Taisuke sighed. "At any matter, something must be done. Your jealous friend has certainly gone too far."

Yondaime nodded. "Will you assist me in getting him back?"

"Of course," Taisuke nodded. "Does this mean we are declaring...war upon the Raccoons?"

The fox suddenly had a deadly look in his eyes. "Yes, we are."

Sasuke who had been listening to the whole conversation suddenly went in to the room. "Father! I demand that I join the battle and get Naruto back!" The look in his eyes showed that he wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. I will get you back Naruto. I promise.

------------------------------


Gaara couldn't wait for his wedding night. He had been waiting for Naruto for too long. His hand reached up slowly to grasp the door handle to Naruto's room. He took his time because, like it or not, he was nervous. I've loved you for so long Naruto...I just want to share it all with you...I can't wait any longer. Opening the door Gaara stepped inside.

Naruto was still sleeping, his tail curled around his left leg and his hair splaying on the pillow he was hugging. His breathing was soft and deep, full lips parted in his slumber. The sleeping fox was unaware of the intruder in his temporary room.

Gaara's breath hitched at the sight before him. The fox was so beautiful that it made butterflies scatter in his stomach. Quietly the red raccoon made his way to the bed dropping down on it softly, so he wouldn’t wake Naruto. Dropping his head down near Naruto's, Gaara began cuddling his face around the fox's ear and neck, enjoying the soft skin and fur.

Naruto stirred, letting out a small, purring noise. "Hmmm," The blond sighed, semi-conscious.
The only things he could comprehend in his sleep-muddled mind were that A. he was sleepy, B. somebody was nuzzling him, and C. it felt niiiiiice.


Gaara felt like he was going to explode. The noises the fox made sent him to heaven and back. His lips brushed along the side of the blond fox's neck before he started dropping light butterfly kisses on the soft skin.

Naruto let out a soft giggle, shying away from the tickling touches. His eyes cracked open blearily as he came a bit more awake. "Mmn, stoppit, Sasu...ke," He yawned, the name slipping into his words unthinkingly.

Gaara's loving touches came to a sudden halt when that name passed Naruto's lips. Anger clouded Gaara's vision as he grabbed hold of the fox's arm and flipped him onto his back. Quickly
Gaara swooped down taking the blond fox's mouth with enough force to bruise.

Naruto was fully awake immediately, a surprised 'mmph!' sound emerging from his throat. He blinked rapidly as Gaara's lips ravished his own, the raccoon's tongue forcing itself into his mouth.
Naruto grunted in protest, trying to turn his head away.

Gaara growled bringing one of his hands up to grab Naruto's chin and keep him in place. His grip was strong enough that if he squeezed any harder on the blonde fox's jaw it might just break. His other hand quickly went to work getting rid of Naruto's shorts.

Naruto shrieked in shock against Gaara's mouth, pain shooting up his jaw as the red-haired raccoon's fingers clawed at his clothing. His eyes widened even more at the slow realization of just what Gaara was about to do, and terror froze his heart in his ribcage.

Ripping his mouth away from Naruto's, cutting the fox's lip with his tooth, he began licking and biting harshly at Naruto's throat. His hand become impatient with the clothes and just ripped them off.

"S-Stop, stop it--!" Naruto cried weakly, blood dribbling down his chin from the cut in his lips. He yelped when Gaara bit too harshly, breaking skin and sucking powerfully at the small wound. "Don't...!"


Now that there was nothing keeping him from his goal, Gaara licked some more of the blood from Naruto's neck before sitting up. He put one of his hands tightly around Naruto's neck to hold him down. His other hand was busy dancing over the soft skin around Naruto's thighs. He's so beautiful...

"N-No, stop!" Naruto gasped, panic blossoming like an ice-cold flower in his stomach. His breaths came in strained gulps, a combination of trepidation and the hand on his throat. "Ple-ease..." His voice cracked as tears of fear blurred his vision, and his tried to curl his exposed body away from Gaara's furious hands.

Gaara snarled, and forcefully pushed Naruto's legs open. Leaning down he started to lick and bite the inside of the fox's thighs.

The door to the room flew open and slammed hard against the wall, breaking the door and the wall. In the door way now stood a very angry wolf. Sasuke growled loudly, almost sounding like a roar, if wolves could roar, showing as much of his teeth as possible. Seeing the position Gaara and Naruto where in, Sasuke's eyes lit up red immediately. "Gaara! Let him go now, or you pay with your life!"

That sounds like...

"S-Sasuke?" Naruto panted, the words coming pained when Gaara's hand tightened around his neck.

Gaara sat up glaring at Sasuke. "Why do you keep trying to take him from me? He is mine! He promised he would marry me!" He let go of Naruto's neck and got up to stand across from Sasuke. "He want's to be with me. Not you."

Sasuke glared back at the raccoon. "I'll kill you!" He was about to start showing Gaara's face just how much damage his claws could do.

I promised I would marry him...? What-- Naruto's eyes widened, and a flood of memories gushed into his mind.

"Ne, ne! Gaara-kun, I like you!" Naruto, roughly no older than 5, grinned at the red-haired raccoon. Gaara's cheeks reddened, and he 'hmn'ed in that quiet manner of his. "Let's get married when we grow up, 'kay?"

"Oh...okay," Gaara replied, his cheeks going a color to match his hair. He smiled softly when he saw Naruto's face light up in joy.

"Gaara, time to go," Shukaku's voice beckoned the young raccoon from nearby. The redhead muttered a quiet 'goodbye' to Naruto, but the fox caught his sleeve.

"You promise, right, Gaara-kun? Promise we'll get married and live together for ever and ever?" The blond blinked expectantly, and Gaara nodded. Naruto beamed. "'Kay, then. Bye-bye, Gaara-kun!"

That was the last time Naruto ever saw Gaara.

Until today.

"Sasuke--wait!" He cried, sitting up.

Both raccoon and wolf turned to look at Naruto.

Naruto blushed, suddenly highly conscious of the fact that he was stark naked in front of two men who would most likely rip each other's throat out over him. His tail curled protectively around his waist.

"Um...G-Gaara, you said...that I promised to marry you?" The fox questioned awkwardly, nervous in the tense, bloodlust filled atmosphere that blanketed the room.

Gaara's eyes brightened at the question, if you could tell they did. "Yes. You promised me when we were young. Does this mean we will be wed now?" He asked hopefully.

Sasuke was furious when that question nervously came out of the blonde’s bloody lips. All too soon though he became jealous, and worried at Gaara's response. When they were young...but...Naruto is MY fiancée! ....He can't marry Gaara...

So I remember correctly, then...dammit, how do I get myself out of this?! "U-um..."
The blond stuttered nervously, glancing at Sasuke. He was astonished at what he saw. Sasuke looked...alone and in pain. Naruto gulped, and looked back at Gaara. "I..." How the hell do you turn down a crazy psycho that just tried to rape you?! "Gaara...I can't...marry you."

Gaara clenched his fist in an attempt to keep his anger in check. "What do you mean? We made a promise." He gritted out between clenched teeth.

"Um...well..." Naruto's eyes shifted nervously. "I'm sorry...I'm really sorry. I...we were just kids and I...I'm so sorry. I," His voice dropped to a whisper, "I forgot. I know that can't make up for it, but I just--I can't. I'm sure that if...the circumstances were different, we probably could have gotten married, and maybe I could have even loved you, but...there is...someone else in my heart, now." Naruto swallowed thickly, feeling tears in his eyes as he saw Gaara's heart break into a million pieces. "I'm sorry, I really am." He blinked and the tears fell. A shaky smile tried to form on Naruto's lips. "I-I hope that...we can be friends. We can start over again, but I can't...I can't love you, Gaara. I'm so, so sorry."

Sasuke wanted to just walk over there and pull the crying fox into a tight embrace, but to get between Naruto and Gaara right now might cause unnecessary bloodshed.

Gaara felt his eyes burn with unshed tears. He had been dreaming of this fox for so long. Naruto had plagued his mind every day. He wanted nothing more than to make Naruto forcefully be his. But seeing the look in Naruto's face made him stand back. He couldn't go against that face. Naruto was showing him forgiveness and love...but of a different kind. Gaara quickly turned his head away from Naruto, and covered his eyes. Could he live just being friends?

"I hope you can forgive me for my selfishness, Gaara," Naruto whispered, regret gnawing at his heart.

It was quiet in the room for several seconds. It was then broken by Gaara's very quiet voice. "There are clothes...in the dresser..." He then walked passed Sasuke and out the door.

Sasuke tensed when Gaara walked by him. Ready to attack if necessary. Instead the red raccoon exited the room. Once the door closed Sasuke was by Naruto's side holding him in a loving embrace.

Naruto returned the hug earnestly, a sob bubbling up in his throat. He clung to the wolf as if he was the only thing separating him from life and death. "Sasuke...!"

Sasuke ran his fingers through the fox's silky hair, and planted a kiss on the top of his head. "It's alright Naruto." His eyes drifted to the dresser Gaara had mentioned. Slowly he let go of Naruto, and walked over to the dresser. Sasuke pulled out a pair of dark brown pants, obviously too big for the blond fox, and an overly large white shirt. Sasuke didn't like the thought of Naruto wearing raccoon clothes, but it would have to do. Walking back to the sobbing blond, Sasuke quietly helped him get dressed.

Naruto felt all his worries slip away in Sasuke's gentle hands. Soon his cries ceased to a faint sniffling, and Naruto let himself be helped up by the Uchiha. He stared up into Sasuke's eyes, and then rested his forehead against the wolf's chest. His voice was quiet and small-sounding as he closed his eyes, "I was scared, Sasuke."

Sasuke's hand found itself in Naruto's hair once again. "So was I." He said it quietly, mostly because Uchiha Sasuke never admits he is scared. But the whole time that Naruto had been gone, Sasuke was scared. Suddenly an explosion rocked the building causing Sasuke to tense and look around confused. "What the hell was that!?"

Naruto blinked, instantly alert. "A fox bomb," The blond replied. "But why...shit, Sasuke, is there a battle going on?"

At the word battle Sasuke was reminded of what was going on. "Yes...The wolf and fox armies are outside. Only me and my team got in." My team! Sasuke got up on his feet they needed to get out of here before any of them were killed. "Hurry Naruto. We need to get out of here." He held his hand out for the fox to take.

Naruto nodded, grabbing onto Sasuke's hand and following him out the door. He stopped when he noticed a certain red-haired raccoon standing just beside the door. "Gaara?"

Gaara had been standing outside the door waiting for the blond fox to come out. His eyes traveled to the clasped hands lingering there, before going over what Naruto was wearing. He was tempted to smile. He looks so cute in clothes too big for him. "I'm going to help you get out of here." He turned and started going down the hall. "Follow me."

Sasuke knew he was jealous and being over protective, but he couldn't help it. This raccoon had taken Naruto away from him. He wasn’t going to drop his guard around him. His hand tightened around Naruto's protectively before following after Gaara.

Naruto followed after Gaara, biting back the questions that rose like bile in the back of his throat. Why is he helping me if I just broke his heart? A sudden, thick wave of guilt washed over the blond, and his pace faltered. Before he could get too swept up in the guilty feeling, something leapt out in front of them.

"Gaara!" A voice, venomous and filled with black rage bellowed in the halls. Naruto's eyes widened when they fell upon Shukaku, blocking their path. "What are you doing?!"

Once Shukaku appeared, Sasuke was already in front of Naruto protectively. Gaara growled low in his throat at the older raccoon before him. "Getting them out of here."

Shukaku let out a low, dangerous sounding snarl. "You dare to defy me, your father, Gaara?" His wickedly sharp teeth were bared at his son. "I am the only justice in your world, in this entire world! You will obey me, or I will not hesitate to kill you. "

Naruto stared, horrified at Shukaku as those frighteningly honest words spilled from his mouth. "You...you bastard! What kind of evil creature could even consider killing his own son?!" He glared at the older raccoon.

"Silence, you filthy little fox-whore!" Shukaku roared, and Naruto sputtered indignantly at the name. "This is none of your groveling concern!"

Gaara's eyes slowly turn from its normal cold aqua color to a deathly gold. Snarling he jumped at his so-called father intent to kill. Sasuke growled tempted to join Gaara in killing this raccoon who dare speak to Naruto in such a way. As he was getting ready to do just that, Gaara threw him a look that strangely he understood. Get him out of here. Sasuke stood there for a second before grabbing Naruto's hand and running in the direction Gaara had be leading them in before.

Naruto was just as ticked as the other two, but he expressed his anger in a more verbal way. "Why that--that asshole! I'll kill him! Fox-whore?! I'll kill him, dammit!" His insult was lost upon deaf ears as he was dragged away from the impending battle between father and son. Shukaku snarled as he dodged--barely--Gaara's attack.

"You stupid, fool of a boy! Letting your emotions be controlled by a stupid little fox," He barked, laughing cruelly. "Nay, a stupid. Little. Fox. Whor--"

The rest of the Raccoon King's taunt was lost in a spray of blood as his head bade farewell to his body.

Gaara stood over the decapitated head of his father, smiling morbidly. "You will never speak about Naruto like that again, Father."

Sasuke paused briefly when he heard mad laughter that sounded oddly like Gaara. His hand clinched more tightly around Naruto's hand.

"Sasuke," Naruto said, ceasing in his angry ranting. "Shouldn't we go back for Gaara?" His eyebrows drew together in worry for the young raccoon.

Sasuke shook his head. "No, we can't stop now. We are almost out of here." He gave Naruto a sympathetic. If he could go back he would, just for Naruto's sake. He tugging Naruto's hand to let him know they were going to continue running before he took off down the hall.

"But...!" Naruto objected, stumbling half-heartedly after Sasuke. "But...Gaara--" There was a distant-sounding explosion that sent dust and sand cascading down the stone walls of Shukaku's castle. He swallowed thickly, finally realizing the fatality of their current situation.

"Right," He finally consented, and matched his pace with Sasuke's.

Another explosion followed close behind the last making cracks appear in the walls around them. Sasuke pushed his legs as hard as he could as they raced down different corridors. Sasuke was beginning to get a little uneasy as he felt the floor shifty under his feet. They were on one of the many top floors, if they didn't hurry they would definitely die here. The castle shook hard at the sound of another explosion, a giant gust of wind carrying sand and small rocks flew at them from behind. Sasuke stopped and quickly gathered Naruto into his arms before taking off again.

Clutching slightly at Sasuke's neck, Naruto allowed himself to be carried, a few small, sharpened pebbles grazing and cutting his skin from the force of the blow behind them. The next explosion came much faster than the previous, within mere seconds of its predecessor, and demolished the walls and floors not three feet behind them. Foxbombs were strong and deadly, as Naruto knew, and they most likely wouldn't escape the next one.

Sasuke felt the ground below him crumbling under his feet as he ran. His breath was coming in short gasps as he tried to get the much needed oxygen his body craved in this smoke infested room. The door to the next floor down was in sight, but right as they were going threw it the wall beside them groaned and crumbled finally giving way to all the deadly explosions. Sasuke hugged Naruto closer to himself as he dodged the falling rubble only bearly making it into the door. He didn't come out of that little trick unharmed though as blood was running steadily from a wound on his temple. Fighting off the wave of darkness that clouded his vision from lack of oxygen and tired limbs, he began running once again.

Naruto clung to Sasuke for dear life, his stomach squirming in worry as he heard Sasuke's labored breathing and saw the sticky crimson blood dribbling from the gash on his temple. He inhaled, getting ready to tell Sasuke to put him down before the wolf had a hernia, but got a lung full of smoke and dust instead and flew into a coughing fit. His eyes watered and his throat itched and burned as he hacked, trying to aim it away from Sasuke's face. The floor in front of them gave way--whether it was to a bomb or lack of support was unknown--and left behind a gaping hole in the floor far out of Sasuke's leaping abilities.


Sasuke cursed backing away from the hole in front of him. Quickly he set what little energy he had left to thinking and looking around for any possible way to get Naruto out of there. He didn't care if he saved himself, it only mattered that his dobe would be safe. Before any idea could come to his head the roof began caving in. A large part hitting the bearly conscious wolf knocking him to the floor unmoving.


Naruto landed underneath Sasuke, yelping as the wolf collapsed on top of him. Sasuke's head sagged lifelessly on his shoulder, his breath coming very soft and shallow in the fox's ear.


"Sasuke?! Sasuke! Sa--" He broke into another fit of coughing, this time until he began to taste blood and his lungs screamed for air. "S--" Cough, cough, "Sas--"


Everything was growing incoherent, like cotton was stuffed in his ears--even the sounds of his own choking grew faint in his head. Gradually, everything seemed to fade out, the defining edges of Naruto's surroundings blurring with each other until his sight was nothing but blurs and smudges. Even the pain was slipping away, like sand through one's fingers.


Through the oncoming darkness, however, a tall, bright-haired form appeared. Naruto could just barely make out its blond hair, blue eyes, and warm, familiar smile.

Papa...


And then he saw nothing.

Tsugath - *cackles* You shall see soon enough!

Rachel Dracon - We are glad you like the story line and everything :heart:! Naruto said earlier that he's hated by everyone in his village, is that because his father married a woman instead of a man? Yes yes, that is why xD Also because he is the only child in his village born from a woman than a man. *shifty eyes* And about Sasuke's father, you'll find out why Sasuke doesn't like to be around him. It has nothing to do with rape, its mostly because I would shoot myself in the face 5 time over before making something like that happen to Sasu-kun.
