Fox and Raven

It had been two months since Sasuke Uchiha had retrieved the newtype Nekogen that had been later confirmed as an entirely new species of pet. The little fox had been studied extensively throughout those months and with approval from the head council of the NPS Konoha division and the head of the organization, Sarutobi, the pet had been formally named a Jinchuuriki. According to many investigators there were more of this new species running about. Of course they could have been just rumors. Tsunade had had a field day examining and observing the Kyuubi. Or so, that was what Sasuke had heard. He had not seen the fox since their first meeting. The pet had most likely forgotten all about him. It was for the best, he supposed. He wondered how much the little idiot had grown over the past couple months. The Uchiha himself had not had an easy time after the encounter with the strange man that had bitten him.

He often was in pain and fevored, despite Tsunade's treatment and constant checkups. Whatever that creep had introduced into his bloodstream was not coming out anytime soon. She had tried a whole series of tests on him that gave her strange results. His blood pressure had grown increadibley high, his body temperature as a whole fluxuated in extremes of too hot and too cold, and he looked pale and malnurished. There were times when he would even have fits of intense pain that surged through his veins mercilessly until he passed out. Even now he was seated inside of one of the many medical rooms within the infirmary, waiting to be poked and prodded like a good little pincussion. He had tried the whole "let's-get-the-fuck-out-of-here-before-the-witch-comes-back" thing, but Neji, his supposed ally had led a full team to chase him down. Needless to say, they had sedated, hogtied, and returned the fugitive fairly quickly.

And so here he was, stuck under the close observation of that crazy bitch, Tsunade and forced to count ceiling tiles for all eternity. The wouldn't even let him watch television, claiming that his sharigan was going haywire or some shit. Whatever. There was NOTHING wrong with his eyes, let alone his most prized weapon. If he didn't get released soon, he was going to tear the whole damn place apart! And then in the midst of his hourly internal ranting, Sasuke's eyes fell on the paper covered wall to his left. Everyday for the past two and a half weeks he had been sent a drawing from his furry little admirer. The drawings were simple at first, all done in brightly colored crayon, typically depicting a large black blob as the Uchiha himself, and a smaller and yet still blob-like yellow thing as the little Dobe. As Sasuke's eyes trailed from one drawing to the next he could see the obvious leaps in skill that the fox exhibited. The blobs stopped looking like blobs and were more humanoid. Then the fox had started getting creative with the two figures, having them holding hands or, having the smaller of the two sitting on the other's shoulder. The drawing he had recieved yesterday had been the most impressive. It was of a yellow fox that took up a large portion of the page, curled around a person that looked a good deal like Sasuke himself. Apparently, the fox had graduated from crayons. The Uchiha's stern and brooding face shifted ever so slightly as he looked at the drawings and a small smile lifted the corner of his mouth.

"I have another for your scrapbook, 'Sas-Kay' dearest." Was the wonderfully annoying sound that snapped the Uchiha from his observation and with his dark glare firmly in place he faced Shikamaru who leaned casually against the doorframe. Already, Sasuke could feel the beginnings of a headache. Fucking Nara. "I have to hand it to the little guy though, he is getting pretty damn good at this."

The Uchiha waited silently as Shikamaru placed the newest drawing on the wall closest to Sasuke so that he would beable to see it well enough.

"Oh, Tsunade has some news for you. She sent me to let you know that she will be in to talk with you after the nurses finish taking care of you." Nara added in his usual drawl. Sasuke didn't even bother giving him one of his many single syllable responses. The raven haired male's eyes were fixed firmly upon the drawing. For the first time since before his forced stay in the infirmary, Sasuke wore a completely unguarded expression on his features. It was him. Not just something that looked similar to him, but a full drawing of his upper body and head, with enough detail to make it almost photograph like. It looked like Sai's work. Sai was a crackpot that worked within the NPS as a technician and informant. He was constantly drawing shit and was surprisingly very talented. But, it wasn't Sai's drawing, that much the Uchiha could see plainly. Where Sai used smooth and fairly rounded lines that were more delicate overall, this drawing was bold and slightly on the rougher side.

And of course the obvious givaway was scrawled sloppily in the corner in the dobe's handwriting of " Miss you, Mine! See me soon!" and something that looked like a signature. Now, pets could be taught basic communication, and could be programmed to accomplish certain tasks, but he could not recall one learning how to draw or write without being placed on one of the machines. It made the Uchiha wonder if Tsunade was seriously programming the kit. It also made him wonder at the fox's learning ability. It took weeks upon weeks for skills to appear in pets. Shizune, Tsunade's little assistant for instance, was a pure bred Nekogen female, programmed from birth to be the woman's attendant. She did not know how to speak and most likely never would. However, the cat could type, read, and comprehend just about anything you put in front of her. Not only that but, she had manipulated her programming to her personality, giving herself little quirks and almost human habits.

Sasuke didn't know how much he liked the idea of them actually teaching the kit. It was a risk. A big risk. All pets have their wild moments in which they become violent and uncontrollable, even Shizune. A trained pet was generally smarter and sometimes even stronger then the ones that are untrained. With the power that the Jinchuuriki breed was holding, it could be downright deadly under the wrong conditions. But, he let his musing slip away again and he focused on the protrait. He needed to get the kit to stop focusing on him. It was going to become problematic.

It had been a half hour later that his usual band of tormentors showed up to help him out of bed and to the showers. He hated this part of the day. The Uchiha was perfectly capible of showering on his own, but thanks to his condition, Tsunade had ordered three nurses and at least two armed guards to escort him and make sure that he didn't run away.Thankfully gave him privacy once he was within the shower rooms. Before then, he was forced to stand there while they undressed him and checked on his mark. Now Sasuke was not one to care for modesty usually, but the way his babysitters watched him, including the men, made him want to cover himself imediately. And so as he stood stoically, ignoring the "accidental" touches of his ooglers as his layers of thick clothing were striped from him, leaving him entirely exposed to the view of them. But, he couldn't help the cocky smirk that usually stole across his lips in moments like these, moments in which they would stare at him with flushed hungry looks. And feeling a bit more evil today then usual, Sasuke stretched his stiff muscles casually working his still sore shoulder slowly all while remaining as expressionless and cold as usual. The reactions were far too predictable and yet strangely amusing. Yet he knew that doing this would cause him more problems in the future and he would need to counter it. With an annoyed flip of his eyes he turned from them toward the doorway pausing briefly before looking back at them over his shoulder with a look that would have sent most running in fear had it not been for the Uchiha's state of undress.

"All of you are dismissed after today as my attendants. I wonder... how will Tsunade-Sama react when she hears that her employees are sexually harassing their charges." He all but purred darkly, his face cruel and unyeilding. Of course, all of them paled as expected and began sputtering appologies. Sasuke did not bother to pay them any mind, and without another word he strode through to the waiting shower room, feeling slightly more like his bastard self. The thick door slide shut with a welcoming hiss and locked itself neatly in place. He did not want to deal with any unwanted visitors. With a heavy sigh he stepped carefully across the cool tiled floor, bracing himself on the wall. For a moment the world tilted wildly out of control and Sasuke waited patiantly for the dizzy spell to pass. Thankfully, these moments were becoming fewer in number. Determined to enjoy his daily bath, the Uchiha slipped into a steam filled shower room that joined with a larger, more open bath.

This was a theraputic bath, more like a hot spring then anything and it was typically open for any employee or patiant, however, due to Sasuke's unique condition, the rooms were closed off for an hour so that he could be pain free and at ease for a short time. Warm water fell upon his upturned face, and with a sigh of relief, he allowed himself to lose himself, to let everything go. In fact he became so lost in enjoying the water that he was oblivious to a pair of wide blue eyes that stared at him through the thick haze. Now, the owner of said eyes had not been told of anyone else being allowed inside of the baths with him, but for some reason he was unable to tell this dark haired intruder to leave. It was becoming difficult for him to breathe as his startled gaze followed the trails of water that caressed the pale flesh before him. Slightly fanged teeth gnawed on a trembling lower lip and silently, he shrank back against the far wall, praying that the black haired male would not see him.

And then, like a strike of lightning, an all too familiar scent hit him over the water. It was diluted thanks to the mist, but there was no mistaking it and a silent whimper escaped the blue eyed male's constricting throat. Sasuke. HIS Sasuke. He watched in a frozen stupor as the object of his attention ran large hands over himself slowly, toned muscles flexing beneath practically glowing skin. There weren't even words in his vocabulary yet that could possibley describe it. Those hands held his gaze and an almost hungry gleam entered his eyes, his pink tongue running over his lips nervously. It was a strange feeling that overcame him. He felt hot and tingly, as though every nerve in his body were being electricuted. And a curious pressure formed between his legs. Large fox ears tilted forward as he cast a perplexed look down at his new discovery. Since when did he get a new tail? Currently he was blessed with three tails, but this fourth one was disturbing. However, his examination was cut short when the sound of a heated groan echoed throughout the room. His so-called tail twitched in response and he felt heat rush to his face.

Imeadiately his gaze snapped back up to Sasuke and he nearly gasped aloud. The tall male had turned around so that his front was clearly visable to the hiding fox. That face, though slightly paler and a bit more hollow looking than he could recall, was absolutely gorgeous. Thick dark lashes lay lightly against practically white cheeks that looked like living marble only to flutter open slightly, reveiling glazed onyx eyes. Full, slightly reddened lips parted against a sigh and the blonde fox felt his jaw drop. That perfectly formed face was framed with soaked black hair that clung messily to Sasuke's face, forehead, and neck.The blonde's eyes trailed down to the man's chest and arms, noting that despite his muscular build, Sasuke was still very sleek, with prominant collar bones and a slim abdomen and hips. And that was when he could not hold back a whimper any longer.

His eyes had settled upon Sasuke's "tail thingy" noting that even though it was larger then his own, it was very similar, a fact that only reaffirmed his belief that Sasuke was his and his alone. The Uchiha himself had felt eyes on him long ago, but had chosen to ignore them at first. Of course, he had become quickly annoyed and had turned to get a look at his stalker. But the sight that had met his quick glance had caught him entirely offguard, forcing out a deep noice from his throat. The kit was here. But, perhaps kit wasn't the right term anymore. Crouched in the far corner of the showering room was what looked to be a fourteen year old boy. But it was not so much the fact that the fox was here, it was moreso that said fox was looking at him with such possessiveness, such...need... It had certainly thrown the startled raven for a loop. He didn't feel defiled or filthy like he did earlier. He felt...well... he felt pretty damn good about himself right then. True, he was not a pedophile or anything of the sort, but seeing the nearly human pet crouched naked in a state of full arousal was enough to get a rise even out of him. He blamed it on his lack of a sex life. And the fact that the little fox was practically edible looking. He had grown more than Sasuke could have expected. Through the hazy mist he caught small glimpses of the blue eyed wonder, sizing up the fox carefully while applying shampoo to his own hair.

The youngster's skin held a strange golden sheen that he could not recall seeing before. The blonde also had begun his transformation into maturity, his limbs becoming longer and muscular, his richly tanned chest starting to lose the reminants of baby fat and softness, and he had even grown two more tails. Said tails were twitching like mad and as Sasuke stole another glance at the boy as he tilted back to wash the suds from his hair, he noticed that those wide eyes were fixated on a certain portion of the Uchiha's anatomy. It was in that moment that a dark and slightly mean idea popped into his devious little mind. What would the little fox do if... heh. A brief flash of a smirk graced the Uchiha's lips for a second before vanishing. This would be interesting.

Apparently, this must have been the dobe's first experiance with a nude individual. How precious. For some reason he was greatly satisfied with being the first body that the little fox had laid eyes on. Everyone else that the fox would see after him would have a difficult time of besting him. So he was a tad egotistical, was that such a crime? Naruto's eyes once again moved along the sleek, powerful form before him as trails of soft foaming soap slid slowly along the Uchiha's body and he was startled to realize that he wanted to mimic those bubbles, to touch the man everywhere. Deep prussian blue flickered red. Sasuke washed himself of the suds, running hands over himself in a lazy sort of way that only fueled the smaller male's excitement. Those pale fingers brushed over dusky nipples lightly and in response, Sasuke let out a soft hiss and arched slightly. Now the fox was curious. He hesitantly lifted a hand to his own chest, looking skeptically at the slightly hardend nubs before lightly touching one. The slight jolt of pleasure that followed said touch had his eyes opening wide and snapping back to the Uchiha. The dark haired man locked his onyx eyes upon the trembling fox and Naruto was practically overcome by the look that shown in those depths. He wasn't sure whether to be afraid that he had been caught, or glad. The blond had heard many rumors from his nurses and attendants about the Uchiha's cold, emotionless, bastard tendancies, but from the heated stare he was recieving, he was having a hard time believing them. A little whine rushed from the fox as the taller male turned off the water and strode toward the opening to the baths. Every movement that the man made was beautiful for lack of a better word in the boy's mind. It were as if this black haired man were tempting him, daring him to do something, to follow?

Sasuke stepped gracefully into the shallow pool like bath, the hot water feeling heavenly against his skin. And as he turned to glance over his shoulder at his little visitor, he nearly fell. Seated in a very animal like position, mere inches from him, was the dobe. Dark blue, nearly violet locked with glinting charcoal. Apparently, the little boy was anxious about something. A slow smirk spread across the young man's lips and Naruto flushed scarlet.

"Hello, dobe... it's been a while." He all but purred as he breathed in the slightly spicy scent that had filled the room. Wait... spicy scent? Shit. The brat was releasing a chemical that usually only female pets had and said chemical was used to seduce those that breathed it in. Sasuke nearly smacked himself for his stupidity. He should have known that arousing the blond was a bad idea. Although, as another whiff of that addicting scent washed over his senses, his brain became more muddled. He knew that he was not getting out of this without touching the fox now. Said fox swallowed hard, apparently unaware of how he was affecting the Uchiha. The teenager was starting to look better and better to Sasuke's hungry gaze and turning fully, he grasped the boy's chin firmly and yet gently.

"Stop... waving your tails... or I am not going to beable to stop myself." He whispered with a soft moan before kissing the stunned teen fully. Blue eyes went wide as soft lips claimed his own and waves of heat overtook his slight fear, causing his tails to swish from side to side madly. His eyes slid shut against the feeling and he finally gave in and grasped the Uchiha's shoulders, whimpering into the kiss that was gentle and slow. Now kissing, Naruto had heard of and had even seen. But this...He had not expected this! What had Sasuke said about his tails? Of course, an answer to that question never came, for all coherant though fled the blond's mind with the feel of Sasuke's hands on his ears. The fox groaned, giving Sasuke the opportunity that he was looking for. The dark haired man slipped his tongue inside of Naruto's mouth, smirking against the squeak that the smaller male had let out. Of course, said squeak became a hungry growl as the Uchiha caressed and teased the blond's tongue.

The kiss turned very quickly into a rough, almost violent, game and hands fisted in hair, pulling each other closer. Naruto was fairly clumsy in this little dance, still adapting to the akward feeling. Sasuke pulled away finally, letting the panting fox breathe while he tried to collect himself. Wave after wave of that intoxicating spice filled his heaving lungs and he knew that he was done for. "Sas-kay..." Naruto gasped out when the full scent of the black haired male's arousal hit him hard. The fox's eyes nearly rolled back into his head and he groaned lowly. He felt so hungry, but not for food, for the human before him. And then large hands were on him, lifting him into the bath. Sasuke settled his hands on the young pet's hips, guiding him into deeper water until it reached the dark haired male's chest. Now, he was a good deal taller then Naruto was, being twenty years old and all. However, the water made it easy for Naruto to float upward and wrap his legs about the older male's waist.

"Ugh...Naruto... you shouldn't do that..." Sasuke gasped weakly when the blond shifted against his errection. However, this only caused the little fox to do it again. Tails wound about the Uchiha's legs and held tight as Naruto buried his clawed fingers within that thick dark hair again. He wanted more! Sasuke ground himself into the teen, swallowing up Naruto's yell in a kiss. The fox was so glad that he had gotten paint all over himself now that he was here. He had been experimenting with paint, but that didn't seem to be his strong point at all and he had gotten more on himself than the canvas. Needless to say, Sakura had forced him to go take a bath. He had protested and fought and whined, but now he was oh so grateful that she had clubbed him over the head and drug him here.

Again Sasuke moved their hips against one another and instantly regretted it, for he found himself unable to stop. Naruto broke the kiss in order to throw back his head and let out a yell of pleasure. Lucky for them, the doors were locked or they would have had to deal with someone walking in on them to find out what the noise was about. Hungrily, the Uchiha placed open mouthed kisses along the blond's jaw and throat, licking and lightly nipping at the sensitive skin there. A breathless gasp rushed from Naruto's lips and instictively, he tilted his head to the side in submission, baring his neck fully to the older male. At this point, Sasuke's muddled mind had turned almost animalistic, instincts that he could not recall having before surfacing and battering him forcefully. He felt such a powerful feeling build within him, one that was possessive and almost violent. And if he wasn't mistaken as he ran his tongue hungrily over his lips, his teeth seemed to lengthen.

Odd. Maybe he had been reading too many old vampire novels lately. He could see the fox's pulse beating erratically at the juncture where his neck met shoulder and before he could stop himself or even realize what he was doing, he bit down on that pulse. Naruto hissed in pleasure and writhed in his grip, pressing down hard against Sasuke's arousal. The sharp, metallic taste of blood brought the Uchiha back to awareness and he swallowed, moving to pull back. However, the blond only held him firmly in place, whimpering and arching demandingly. Sasuke could only moan and comply like the good little child molester that he was. He felt his canines extend further and chakra rushed from him into the bite. His eyes snapped open in shock as violent blue chakra flared all about them. It was his own chakra, but he had not released it! What in the hell? And as if in answer to his chakra, the fox's red energy emerged to intertwine with his.

Sasuke felt his eyes flutter shut against the strange, yet undeniabley pleasurable sensation and he pulled far enough back from the small wound to run his tongue soothingly over the bite. Naruto purred deeply, sighing as he nuzzled against the dark haired man. And then with a rush, the chakra rushed back to them with such force that both were pushed over the edge from it. Steam rose from their naked bodies as Sasuke fought to remain standing, the blond clinging to him tightly. Well, if that wasn't some sort of record for orgasming, someone could have slapped his ass and called him done. Never had he come so hard with doing so little or having so little done to him.

"What the fuck was that?" He mumbled softly before turning his attention to the wound he had given the pet. His eyes widened dramatically when instead of a nasty looking bite, something that looked suspiciously like a mating mark met his gaze. Pets who were breeders normally marked their mate with a mating mark or Soul Brand. These marks made their mate untouchable for other breeders. But, humans could not leave Soul Brands. Sasuke was a human. Why was there a mark? His eyes traced the all too familiar design of his long dead clan noting that it was a bit different then the typical white and red fan. This symbol was black and red, the fan jagged and not so pokeball-ish or fishing bobber-ish. A thick black ring encircled the fan and through the center of the whole thing was a small white feather like shape. In its entirity, it was about two inches around on all sides.

"Hnnn... Sasuke... I feel you... I feel you in me." Naruto mumbled softly in a half purr and Sasuke could tell that the fox was half way asleep.

"What do you mean, dobe?" He asked, moving one hand up to trace over the strange mark. Usually, the mating marks were simple black lines that made some sort of unique pattern. However, this one seemed...special. Then again, it did come from a human. Wait...

"I said what I mean. I can feel you now. Your chakra, your spirit...I feel it inside." The blond replied with a slightly annoyed tone. "And don't call me dobe, you bastard!"

Sasuke raised a brow at this statement. Sure, people called him a bastard behind his back, and yes, he was quite aware of the fact that he was, indeed a bastard, but he hadn't expected it from the fox. He was tempted to drop the little moron and drown him. A nagging fear had begun to surface in the Uchiha's mind. If he had marked the fox, did that mean...Shit!

"Naruto... please tell me that this mark does not mean what I think it means." He demanded, locking his gaze on the whiskered boy who pouted at him.

"It means I am bonded to a Teme, dattebayo!" The fox growled. Sasuke's blood ran cold. Bonded. Mark. Him. Biting. Pet. Bonding. With. Pet. Mating. With. Pet. What. The. Fuck.
