Chapter 2-A Dog's Life by KitsuneFun

Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto that honor is held by Masashi Kishimoto I am just a fan writer doing this for fun.


The Chouji, as Sasuke had learned later wasn’t a food but a jolly looking boy around Naruto’s age perhaps older, who wore his hair in a similar spiky manner as the blond but that’s were the similarities ended since the other‘s hair was more of a reddish brown tint instead of white gold. Chouji was larger and not in a good way, “He’s Fat…” as Sarutobi would have said about an over weight dog like himself. The other boy was also taller than Naruto and his skin was a pinkish hue but his eyes were intelligent and a dark warm brown that when he smiled lit up and it made the people surrounding him want to smile.

Chouji had taken one look at Sasuke and grinned happily, “You got a dog… he’s so cute and small Naruto” he leaned down to pet the raven who would have none of the touchy feely crap especially with someone he just met and had started to growl menacingly making the other boy jerk back in surprise.

“Dammit… Bastard dog be nice to Chouji…” Naruto yelled at the picky dog but Chouji only shook his head and smiled well naturedly.

“Heh… its ok Naruto he’s probably just hungry” He winked at the raven, who tried to control his anger over being referred to as small in favor of waiting till after he was fed, he could always bite the offender later. The idea made him smirk and his tail wagged unconsciously behind him without him realizing it but the site made Naruto eye him suspiciously, “I guess that’s a good sign” Chouji clapped his hands together in excitement, “Let’s see what we can do about that hunger… shall we?” he nodded as though answering his own question before he quickly wandered off in the direction of the kitchen where a bevy of tantalizing smells were coming from making Sasuke’s belly growl loudly in protest for not getting the food himself, ‘But he was an Uchiha… and an Uchiha kept their dignity in every situation even if they were stuck looking like a dog’.

Naruto eyed his new dog thoughtfully from the corner of his eye as he sat in a rather dignified and proud manner for a dog, with his head held high as if he was on display at all moments, as he waited for the food Chouji promised. The blond wondered where this strange dog could have come from (it was a silly thought), he couldn’t put his foot on it but something didn’t feel right about his new unexpected family member, ‘Oh well…’ he thought shrugging, ‘Only time would tell.’ he tried not to notice as the dog would sometimes sneak a glance at him as though the dog couldn’t decide what it wanted to eat first, the thought made a shiver go up Naruto‘s spine.

His thoughts were interrupted by the emergence of the bigger boy from the kitchen who emerged a couple of minutes later holding a big bowl of something that resembled in Sasuke’s mind of the brown sludge he’d seen growing out of a swamp once, the raven only hoped it was better tasting than the dog food had been at the shelter otherwise he would be in trouble if he wasn’t able to swallow it.

However when the bowl was placed in front of him, despite the look of it, it smelled of the delicious aroma he had been tempted to investigate earlier and despite Sasuke’s earlier proclamation that he would treat the manner of eating with dignity despite his form he couldn’t quite manage to eat the chunky soup-like concoction without sticking his whole snout in it.

Damning his own foolish Uchiha pride, he dived into the bowl hoping that he could get it over with before he became messier than he already was; the move however delighted his now happy stomach. His features weren’t so lucky because when he emerged from the bowl his face felt sticky and he no doubt looked atrocious to the blond eyeing him as he ate.

Naruto’s face twitched and he found himself biting his lip to try not to laugh at how undignified the dog looked now.

The Uchiha put off by the amusement of the blond tried to salvage what pride he had by trying to use his paws to wipe his face only to realize too late that he wasn’t quite used to sitting up on his hind legs in this form and he ended up falling over disgracefully landing in the mess surrounding the bowl. If he had been a man he would have had a very obvious blush covering his once pale face.

Looking up hopefully at Naruto thinking, ‘Maybe he didn’t notice’ he realized to his horror that the blond had not only noticed but was laughing along with his friend barely able to stand upright himself over the scene he had just witnessed. The blond had begun to wrap his arms to around his stomach trying to stem the flow of pain from so much laughing, “Ah Hahaha… god that was funny…” he wiped at a tear and tried not to continue laughing especially when his new dog suddenly looked out by the blond’s attitude.

“I think your royal highness of a dog,” Snicker this time from Chouji, “is a little…” snort, “Preoccupied with his looks isn’t he… well, I mean for a dog…”

“Oh god yes…” Naruto tried to keep a strait face and ending up taking a deep breath to calm the giggles that still threatened to fall out, maybe his grandfather was right and he needed a companion after all, not that he would have ever admitted it to the old man, “I have never met a more narcissistic dog...”

Chouji nodded still laughing, ‘if only he was human again’ Sasuke thought he would have liked nothing more at that moment than to strangle the other two humans to within and inch or their lives… that and take a bath since, peering at what he could see of himself, he was starting to feel uncomfortably sticky and without thinking he let out a whine of distress.

For some unexplained reason the blond stopped laughing after hearing the whine and seeing the raven’s somewhat down looking face he showed, again, that small smile of his that made Sasuke’s heart thump earlier. Leaning down till his face was right next to the raven’s muzzle the blond proceeded to lift his hand and run his fingers lightly thru Sasuke’s hair near his ears before scratching behind those self-same ears making the raven sigh and lower his eyes in pleasure at the gentle touch, “I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings… I know what its like to be made fun off” he heard the blond whisper as though it was for his ears only before smiling and giving the raven one last scratch behind the ears before getting up, “Would you like to see your new home Bastard?” For some reason the raven accepted the curse word as Naruto’s pet name for him and his tail wagged slightly in acknowledgement to the other.

So far Sasuke was beyond confused by the blonds’ train of thought and non more so than the warm feeling that had started buzzing in his blood from the closeness and care from the other, lifting his paw to scratch slightly at his ear he thought, ‘I think I would like to get closer to this Naruto especially if it means more caresses’. (The Uchiha had decided) At Sasuke’s look the blond nodded as though understanding without words that Sasuke had accepted and headed out towards the street again with the raven trailing behind.

Itachi grinned evilly at his brother’s predicament from the crystal ball he had taken with him from the Magical Realm, ‘If only you knew little brother… you have the key right there and you don’t even know it…” he laughed. It had been really easy to surprise Sasuke in a place his brother had never dared visiting before but Itachi on the other hand knew how to plan for the future and his future was the destruction of the curtain that separated the human from the magical realm.

It was a dream that he had been thinking on form centuries now, planning and forging allies from under his father’s nose without anyone suspecting anything. He had almost gotten away with anyone knowing if it hadn’t been for that spy Asuma telling his clan about everything.

It had been troublesome on his part to break his silence on the matter by killing Asuma but it had been necessary for the over all goal to do so even if it meant having killed so many in the process after all it was like his father says, “What’s the matter with breaking a few eggs as long as you made you omelet” it was a weird human saying he had picked up but somehow it stuck more in Itachi’s mind than it had the old man and he found himself eager for the day when all his plans were no longer a dream but reached fruition.
He turned at the entrance of his subordinate Kisame into the room, the man was a couple of heads taller than Itachi and almost twice as wide but he was loyal, “Do you have any news about the gates?”

Kisame was among his most loyal of followers being a half-breed having both Merfolk blood as well as Fairy he resembled, to Itachi’s mind, a shark especially with those dead looking black yet glass-like eyes, the older Uchiha briefly wondered what the fish-man’s life would have been like if he hadn’t been given a purpose through Itachi’s own ambitions. Shaking his head at the thought he realize the other probably would have been nothing without him, “Is everything underway?” he asked the fish man.

Kisame smiled showing his self-sharpened teeth, “Yes everything is going according to plan… we have 3 of the 8 gates so far… it should be anytime now.”

“Excellent news…” Itachi knew it was only a matter of time before the Magical Realms greatest treasure was his alone along with all the power he needed to rule both worlds.

Obito glared at his image in the mirror, turning this way and that, “Kakashi are you sure this is right?” he turned to look at the other who looked surprisingly good in his own human disguise of black jeans and dark blue cashmere sweater, he had used a long scarf to help cover the lower half of his face rather than using the mask and Obito thought it looked great on him, though he would never admit it to the other man’s already inflated and pervert driven ego.
Kakashi had managed to sneak into a shop at night to secure the clothes that would make them look more human than their otherworldly magical clothes and he couldn’t be more happier with the results of his mate’s costume, his eyes curved in happiness as he eyed the other, “Of course… human males wear them all the time.” the white haired man was lying of course but his mate didn’t need to know that, he smiled giving the other a wink, “Isn’t it great?”

Obito eyed kakashi with narrowed eyes, he was suspicious of the other‘s motive, “Are you sure human males where this?“ at Kakashi’s nod he sighed before turning back to the mirror trying to adjust the plaid skirt that seemed more obscenely short than necessary, it was similar to the kilts back home but for the life of him he couldn’t understand why human males would like to pair the fuzzy pink top with it, he flicked his fingers at the crocheted collar distastefully, ‘When this is over I can’t wait to get out of this outfit’ he thought wishing the mission to meet up with Sasuke would only come sooner.

Well, that’s it for chapter 2... I’m sorry it’s not edited like the other stories but I am still looking for an Editor to help me with all that.
