Chapter 4: Cheap win but who cares



Recap-



The wolf had Kakashi subdued, and they were both in human form since their chakra levels were low, but the wolf had the upper hand. Pale hands were wrapped around Kakashi’s neck, tightening their grip slowly.



“Say that you give in!” growled the stranger. “I don’t want to kill you.”



“N-never!” Kakashi gasped out, as he tried to pry the other demon’s hands off him, but his chakra was low as well, and his vision was starting to spin from the lack of oxygen.



Naruto couldn’t take it anymore; he gritted his teeth together, and with an almighty “NO!” did he jump out from his hut and wrap his hands around the stranger’s arm. “Let him go, onegai!”



Sasuke turned to look at the little submissive and was stunned too see what a beauty he was; big blue eyes, sunshine-blonde hair, and pouty rosy lips that looked all too kissable. He was small and perfect.



“Onegai!” the Kitsune shouted again. “Please let him go, I’ll do anything!”



And with those words his fate was sealed.



~*~



Sasuke’s outward appearance remain stoic, although on the inside he was grinning with glee when he heard the Kitsune say those words. This may be a sly tactic, but he’d rather not get a mate through killing someone.



“Anything?” he asked.



The Kitsune nodded. “Anything.”



“Even becoming my mate?”



He hesitated and then slowly nodded again. “...Yes.”



Sasuke released his grip, and Kakashi fell unconscious to the ground. The fox rushed up to the prone body and sighed with relief when the older demon was still alive.



“Could I bring him inside? I don’t want Iruka to see him like this,” the blonde asked, not looking up at him.



“Hn...”



Sasuke bent down before Naruto could move, and hoisted Kakashi’s prone body up, and walked inside the small hut. He looked around the small room before he spotted the rickety old bed and placed the dog demon’s body on it. He watched as Naruto wiped away some of Kakashi’s silver hair in an almost tender manner, (which was starting to make Sasuke very jealous).



Suddenly his hands started to glow pale green as chakra surged through them, and he went over Kakashi’s body, healing the cuts and mending any broken bones. Sasuke was again surprised but he hid his emotion well; healing wasn’t an easy feat. It took someone with a large chakra reserve to manage it without causing damage to themselves. Healing was draining, but here the little fox was managing to do it without breaking a sweat.



He was amazed.



When all of Kakashi’s wounds were finally healed, Naruto grabbed a blanket and spread it over him, before kissing his forehead in a ‘goodbye’ gesture (Sasuke growled throatily).



Then the fox turned to look at him “Do I need to bring anything with me?” he asked.



Sasuke looked around the hut, and then shook his head. “No, when we get home, I will be buying you new things,” he replied and then picked Naruto up bridal style, causing the fox to blush furiously when he finally noticed the other’s nakedness; and they both ran into the forest.

Naruto felt weird when the wolf mentioned a ‘home’, he never really had that, and even his little hut wasn’t a home. He wondered how this would be different.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=



Iruka was humming a tune to himself as he made his way towards Naruto’s hut; the trip took him longer then expected since he went to the village to pick up some food as well. Before he even managed to reach the clearing, the coppery scent of blood hit his nose. He gasped and ran towards the clearing, and his eyes widened when he saw the destruction, blood splattered on the ground and the walls of the hut, trees practically torn down in force.



Iruka took a tentative whiff of the air; he was fearing the worst, and he recognized the two scents of Naruto and Kakashi, but the other two...wolf and leopard. Uchiha and Hyuuga...



He slowly went inside the hut, and saw Kakashi lying there unconscious; he quickly moved towards him and checked him over. But it seemed like whoever took Naruto had given the Kitsune a chance to heal Kakashi before they left.



Iruka felt like crying, in the end they couldn’t protect him.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



Sasuke was leading then towards the river that he’d found a while ago; he had to clean himself of the blood and grime, if he returned home like this his father would ask too many questions, and Sasuke was in no mood to answer him anything. He looked down at the still-blushing Kitsune in his arms; why would he want to talk to his father if he had this delectable creature in his arms? Exactly; he wouldn’t want to talk to him.



They reached the river, and Sasuke placed the fox gently on the ground near the bank, while he went towards the river and started to clean himself, although he didn’t take his eyes of the blonde, this only made the Kitsune squirm uncomfortably. He took pity on the fox, and when he stepped out of the water, he used his tail to somewhat cover his modesty. No need to make his future mate any more uncomfortable.



“Do you want me to heal you?” he slowly asked.



Sasuke looked down at himself, Uchiha’s were gifted with quick regeneration, so any injuries he did get were practically already healed by now.



“No, you don’t have to. What’s your name?” Sasuke asked.



“Uzumaki Naruto,” the Kitsune replied hesitantly.



“Naruto...” he tested the name and found it quite easy to say, it just rolled off his tongue. “Well, my name is Uchiha Sasuke, have you heard of me?”



“No, not really, I have heard of the Uchiha family from what Iruka has told me in our lessons, but more than that...” the fox trailed off, looking at his toes rather than Sasuke.



“Hmm...how come I have never seen you in the village before?”



“I-I don’t really go to the village...” Naruto didn’t say that he wasn’t welcome in the village by anybody, or that the first and last time he went there he got rocks thrown at him.



“That would explain why I haven’t ever heard of a Kitsune before...” Sasuke muttered to himself thoughtfully.



“Erm...Sasuke?” Naruto asked apprehensively, he wasn’t sure if he could call the wolf by his first name yet.



Sasuke looked towards him, cocking his head to the side and waiting for Naruto to continue. “Are we-I mean, well, er...are we going to, er... well, ’mate’ now?”



Sasuke smirked and stepped predatorily towards the fox. “My, my, are we that eager?” he whispered huskily into the blonde’s furry ear.



Naruto jumped back when his hot breath tickled his ear, and tried to scoot away, only to have the wolf grab him by the shoulders to make him immobile. Naruto blushed and spluttered but couldn’t form a coherent sentence; all he could think was that the wolf was too close, and it starting to make him feel hot and delirious and something else he couldn’t explain.



“No, no, I just was wondering because I-I...” he trailed off again.



Sasuke chuckled. “Not to worry yet Naruto, we Uchiha’s have very strict traditions; we won’t actually mate ‘til after the ceremony, although...I should probably mark you.”



Sasuke could see the confusion lingering in Naruto’s eyes, and he grinned inwardly. He slowly leaned down and started sniffing along side of his neck near the junction where the neck met the shoulder. He inhaled Naruto’s scent, which induced an almost euphoric feeling for him; he heard the blonde gasp when his lips touched his tanned skin. The fox whimpered delightfully when he started to suck and lick that area, tasting and memorizing him.



When he was done, there was a red mark staining his otherwise unmarred skin, and his face was a pretty picture of lust. Cheeks hued red, which made the six tiny whisker-like scars stand out more, blue eyes glazed over with pleasure, and his lips parted slightly as he panted. Sasuke leaned down to kiss him but stopped himself. If he didn’t regain some self-control he could mess this whole thing up.



He slowly stood up, leaving the fox confused at his actions. “Wait here for me, I have to get my clothes, and then you will meet my family.”



After making sure that Naruto would be safe, he quickly ran back through the forest towards the Uchiha compound.



It was only halfway there that he realized what had actually happened to him...



He had a mate!



The one thing he was trying to avoid; and he got pulled right into it. Although he would have to admit that when he looked at Naruto he didn’t get the dreaded feeling he would get when he saw most of the other submissives, and Naruto was cute and very different. He was already starting to feel a lot calmer just being around him.



Sasuke suddenly sensed his brother’s chakra nearby and slowed down to a walk.



“Well, well, Otouto, congratulations on finding a mate,” came his brother’s voice from behind him. Sasuke turned around and looked back at him impassively.



“Hn...”



“Oh try to look a little bit happier, he’s a very good catch; Kitsune demons are very powerful and always sire strong offspring,” Itachi said smugly, crossing his arms across his chest.



“Shouldn’t you be reporting to father everything that has happened today?!” he snapped back.



“Oh, I already have,” he said with a smirk. “Although only up to the part where you had left the meeting place...let’s just say that father isn’t very happy.”



‘Bastard,’ Sasuke thought. Now his father would think that he didn’t have a mate. He didn’t want to know what his father would have planned for him upon his return.



“Oh, Otouto.” Sasuke looked up, only to see his brother already walking away. “You might be in for a nasty surprise when you get home.” And the he disappeared.



Sasuke growled and ran home.



~*~



Sasuke soon reached the compound; it was late and most of the lights were off. He snuck towards his side of the house and slowly entered through the window, and started raiding his closet for some suitable clothes. The young wolf had only managed to tie his Kimono together when the shoji door slid open to reveal his father.



“Sasuke,” boomed his father’s stern voice. “It’s good to see you finally come home.” Although he sounded less than pleased.



Sasuke stood firm, he had no reason to be intimidated by him.



“Itachi told me that you had left without even finding a mate, this is disgraceful behaviour Sasuke. You should know better,” Fugaku continued. “I have had enough of your childish behaviour; you aren’t a pup anymore, you know what is expected from you, but you keep on refusing to listen to me.”



Sasuke was dreading to hear what his father had to say next.



“So I have decided to take matters into my own hands and have invited for the daughters of two clans, the Haruno and the Mayaku, to come over tomorrow; you have to choose between them,” his father ordered.



Sasuke cringed inwardly when he heard the two names; they were the last people he would want to be associated with. “There will be no need for that father, I have already found a mate.”



Fugaku was surprised by this news, although he didn’t show it. “You have?”



“Yes.”



“Where is she then?”



Sasuke smirked, he felt like he should give his father a surprise. “Not to worry father, tomorrow you shall meet the submissive.” So after quickly grabbing another Kimono, he made a quick escape before his father could stop him.



He had some planning to do.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



Naruto sat on top of a small boulder, his bare feet dipped into the water, while he looked up at the star-scattered sky. He kept on thinking back to his ‘mate’; even the word itself made his stomach churn, although it wasn’t a discouraging feeling. He could tell that this was a new beginning, a new start, maybe for the better.



The pain had subsided to a dull throb now, so at least he wasn’t writhing around on the ground anymore.



Sasuke didn’t seem like a bad person if that kiss was anything to go by; tanned hands traced the mark on his neck, he felt the heat rising in his cheeks when he thought back to the feelings that the wolf had caused inside him. It was...it was nice, something rare that he hadn’t ever felt.



Naruto sighed, and then the worry crept in; he just hoped that Kakashi and Iruka were alright. He would hate himself if they started to worry, although they probably would. Naruto heard rustling nearby, and he sat up to see a now fully dressed Sasuke enter the small clearing with a bundle of cloth in his hands. He walked towards Naruto and handed him the cloth.



“Wear this,” he said. “When the sun rises we are going to leave.”



“What is this?” Naruto asked timidly.



“One of my Kimonos.” He watched as the Kitsune unfurled the cloth.



“But it looks like it’s too big for me; can’t I just wear my Yukata?”



Sasuke regarded his soon-to-be mate’s clothing; the bright orange of the cloth was already fading away, the edges were frayed and slightly dirty, and there were too many marks from where the cloth had been mended.



“You have to look presentable for my parents, but I wouldn’t mind you wearing nothing at all if you’d like that?” he said, giving a lust-filled smirk.



Naruto ‘eeped’ and his blush deepened; he pressed Sasuke’s Kimono close to him and then ran into the forest to change, all the time thinking that his mate seemed as perverted as Kakashi.



After getting dressed, Sasuke had built a fire and caught a few fish from the river; they were now skewered and roasting slowly over the flames. Naruto sat on the opposite of Sasuke, playing with a blade of grass, and not making any eye contact with the other demon, while the wolf couldn’t keep his eyes off the fox.



The Kitsune was an enigma; he didn’t think that any Kitsunes existed after the war, but there was one right in front of him, and not only that, but he was the son of Kakashi and Iruka, who as far as he could remember couldn’t get any children.



He remembered still when he was younger and Iruka used to be his teacher, how the mothers would whisper about his sensei.



/“Iruka sensei is such a good man, just look how he handles those unruly pups!”

“He would have made a perfect mother, he loves children so much.”

“That is why this is so sad to watch, because he’ll never have one of his own, he’s barren.”/



That’s right, Iruka couldn’t have any children, and he didn’t think that Kakashi would ever have an affair. So the question is: who was Uzumaki Naruto, and how come he had never heard of or seen him before?



Sasuke was just about to ask the Kitsune about that, when he noticed that the blonde fox was asleep, eyes closed and slumped over his own knees, with a light snore escaping between his parted lips. Sasuke smirked and walked over to the Kitsune, arranging him to lie in a much more comfortable position, in his lap. Sasuke then leaned against the tree behind him and joined him in dreamland.
