It was said that when a submissive and their dominant were truly meant to be they would instantly fall into sync. Flawless symbiosis was the goal of every couple but none had ever seen it, at least of those currently breathing. There were stories of days gone by now considered fairy tales. Kakashi stood watching Sasuke and Naruto spar and felt his heart in his throat. He’d known there was an attraction between the two but like most instinctual attractions he’d assumed it was physical. Now watching them together he could see that it was so much more.

Growling Naruto attacked once more grinning when Sasuke was forced back by his advance. Sasuke was panting and Naruto had sweat dripping down his face. They were both enjoying this more than any spar either had had in a very long time. Sasuke had found someone who was at a similar level of expertise and Naruto found a partner who wasn’t afraid to damage him. “Come on, Teme… you aren’t afraid of a little smack are you?” Naruto teased with a chuckle.

“I do the smacking, Dobe.” As if to drive his point home, Sasuke flashed behind the blond and smacked Naruto hard across his ass.

“Hey! No spanking on the first date, Uchiha.” He winked playfully as he spun to kick the raven in the head. “At least buy me dinner first.” They continued like this until Kakashi split them up. The next day was the same and the next. Finally Kakashi pulled Itachi in to help him teach them team work. That had been a mistake of epic proportions. Sasuke and Naruto moved and thought as one entity, something that would only get better with time and knowledge of one another. The pair of ANBU tried forcing them together and had ended up on the wrong end of a huge fire ball from a combination of their elements. Then in trying to divide and conquer, Itachi and Kakashi found themselves backed into the corner, each younger man using clones to distract then take their opponents out together.

Iruka tsked Itachi, wrapping a burn. “You’re lucky they weren’t trying to hurt either of you. Really, what were you thinking? Rumors of their spars have spread through the village.” He looked to Kakashi, “I heard it’s almost as good to watch as when Naruto and Gaara spar?”

“Much more fluid actually. Where Gaara and Naruto are attempting destruction, Sasuke and Naruto force each other to focus their attacks. If they bond they could be a force to be truly reckoned with.”

“The likes of which this village hasn’t seen since the First and Second Hokage’s.” Itachi whispered. He hissed when Iruka’s hand slipped. “Ouch Hatake!” Itachi glared up at the submissive and swallowed his tongue as Iruka looked at him apologetically.

“Watch the way you speak to him Uchiha or you’ll have a good reason to go to the hospital.” Kakashi warned.

Naruto came through the door panting but grinning from ear to ear. Sasuke followed the blond through to the kitchen, neither bothering to even say hello. The boys had become so comfortable with one another they were rarely separated though their courtship had not become official. They were always with their team, friends, or guardians but both were very careful not to be alone. Grabbing them cold teas from the ice box Naruto jumped up on the counter and tossed Sasuke his. “It’s getting hot.” He complained as he downed half the bottle in one go.

Watching through hooded lids the raven nodded his agreement. This was the closest he’d come to being alone with Naruto and the urge to strip him, kiss him, control him and own the blond was overwhelming. In a group, during a spar, or even just being watched helped control those urges but any time they were alone Naruto took complete control of all his attention and Sasuke found himself unable to resist the pull of the Jinjuriki. “Why don’t you have a dominant?”

Blue eyes looked up startled. This was the first time Sasuke had approached him with anything dynamic related. “I haven’t found the right one. I made a mistake when I was younger and I don’t want to repeat it.”

“You are collar shy?” Sasuke smirked.

Glaring Naruto snapped back. “I am not collar shy. I just try to learn from my mistakes. Just because something feels right doesn’t mean it is.”

“Wrong. Just because you want something to feel right doesn’t mean it is. It felt wrong but you tried to force it. If you don’t know what the mistake is you can’t learn form it,” Sasuke quickly challenged. He was not going to let Naruto make an already difficult situation worse for them. The tension in the kitchen grew until Sasuke finally spoke up. “I want you.”

“My room is just down the hall.” Naruto replied without a second thought.

Shaking his head Sasuke groaned. “Stop tempting me. I’m trying to court you.”

“Since when did courting NOT include sex? Did I wake up in some weird other dimension where sex is taboo?” Naruto sighed.

Moving closer to him Sasuke pushed so he was nestled between the muscular thighs, palms moving up until they held his hips. “I want you.” The raven repeated before his mouth crashed into Naruto’s. He growled when the blond kissed back, fighting for dominance. It sent adrenalin through his veins, Naruto wasn’t just giving in. Naruto was pushing back, he was going to make Sasuke earn his submission. Their tongues dueled and chased one another between their mouths. Sasuke’s hand slid into Naruto’s blond spikes and pulled back hard. “I want you.” He whispered once more before biting down on tanned skin marking Naruto’s neck.

 

“Fuck! Yes.” Naruto cried out dropping his tea and cumming in his pants. His reaction was so jarring he clung to the thick well muscled shoulders. Sasuke moaned lapping at the now red bite mark on the column of Naruto’s neck.

Kakashi grabbed Iruka by the arm when he turned on his heel, eyebrow twitching in annoyance. “No. Naruto is a big boy, he knows how to say no and Sasuke has already approached me with his intentions.”

“But… but that’s my kitchen.” Iruka turned his shoulders falling.

Kakashi’s lips tilted up and he chuckled. “We’ve done far worse in there I’m sure.”

“Kakashi Hatake!” Iruka glared but flushed darkly. Secretly wishing for Naruto to find the sort of peace and happiness in his pairing that Iruka had with Kakashi, he really hoped Sasuke could fulfill the needs Naruto had.

Back in the kitchen Sasuke stood stroking Naruto’s back bringing him down. “You’ve gone too long. When was the last time you let someone else touch you like this?”

“Five months.” Naruto whispered blue eyes averted.

A finger hooked under Naruto’s chin and forced him to look up. “You know that is not healthy. You’re going to give yourself a breakdown.” When Naruto gave a defiant look Sasuke shook his head. “Stop. You can’t deny a basic need. Submissives, all submissives, need to be touched and loved. It’s biological. It is not a weakness being a Jinjuriki, you should know that.”

“I do know that!” Naruto pushed the Uchiha away growling. “I’m not stupid, but the pickings are fairly slim.” Looking away he sighed. “My ex has made me dangerous to want and has half the dominant population believing I’m damaged goods.” There was bitterness in his voice. “She told people that my training made me fall in love with my trainer and that I could never fulfill or want to fulfill the needs of another dom.”

Snorting Sasuke shook his head. “Anyone who believes that deserves to never touch you.” Moving back to Naruto, he searched those blue eyes and felt violence well within him as hurt surfaced. “She failed you. Trust me, please. I won’t give you a reason to regret it.” The Uzumaki opened his mouth and stopped at the bell. Jumping down he quickly made for the living space. That bell was specific to ANBU.  Sasuke felt himself tense and follow, thwarted again.

Kakashi held a scroll staring wide eyed and in shock. Naruto swallowed, anything that could shock Kakashi couldn’t be good news. “What is it?”

“The Fire Lord has issued a declaration. No uncollared submissive will be permitted into the field to perform ninja duties.” Swallowing he held his breath waiting.

Sabaku no Gaara sat lips tilted slightly at the message from the Leaf. He was officially betrothed to Neji. That had not been an easy battle. It had nothing to do with his worth to the Dominant in question and everything to do with the worth of his future husband. Gaara had made a decision and didn’t particularly care what Sasori thought. His pleasure Master would receive a scroll once Gaara was safely with the Hyuuga clan regarding his impending collaring. Gaara would not have his cousin ruin this for him. His elder sister still believed he was being sold to the Leaf, a sacrificial lamb the Kazekage, their father, was using to cement their new alliance.

Perhaps he was, but what his father didn’t know wouldn’t hurt him. The only two people who truly knew what had happened were he and Neji. The beautiful, powerful Dominant who had paid little heed to the markings on his face and body and only seen the affection starved submissive. Neji had taken him in hand and for 48 straight hours had made himself Gaara’s entire world. He couldn’t count the times he’d fallen into his most blissful state, how many times he’d come just for Neji’s pleasure, or how many times Neji’s words and actions had made his heart swell. When their time was over Neji had promised to come back for him.

Every three weeks the Hyuuga had returned. Gaara had begun to crave those two days where he was no longer the Kazekage’s Jinjuriki child but a submissive whose only goal was to please his Dom. As the only submissive child his father had, Gaara had been pushed aside and left in the care of an uncle who found the boy disgraceful. Even being taken and trained as a jinjuriki hadn’t made Gaara any more appealing to his family. Only his brother and sister seemed to know he was alive. Tamari was overly protective in a way that made the red head wish he’d known more about her and his brother seemed nervous as if he were afraid a wrong move would send Gaara to his knees pleading to worship his sibling.

“I heard Hyuuga’s Uncle offered for you and that father accepted.” Tamari sat across from her youngest brother. There was worry on her face.

“Yes.” Looking up Gaara wished there was something he could do for her. “I’m glad. My best moments are with him. He makes me feel… normal.”

Cocking her head to the side Tamari nodded and gave a sad smile. “I’m going to miss you. It seems like we just got you back and now you’re leaving again.”

“You could come visit me. The Leaf is only 3 days away. Neji won’t turn my family away.” Gaara cocked his head at her. “I think I love him. I don’t want anyone else. I have never desired a top the way I do Neji.”

“He is very pretty.” The blond girl grinned teasingly at her brother.

“My Dominant is NOT pretty. He’s very handsome and masculine.” Gaara insisted. When Tamari patted his hands in a condescending manner Gaara stood. “I’m going to pack. Ninja should be here for me soon and I don’t want to hold them up.

“Have you written Sasori?” Stilling the young jinjuriki shook his head.

“I will tell him when I make it to Neji safely.” Then he moved to his rooms beginning to pack all of his belongings for the journey to his new home.
