Sanctuary

Warning: Lemon here folks. My beta thought that something I put in was slightly unrealistic, but I opted to leave it. So, um, warnings for possible disbelief? Hell, I don’t know. I suppose I probably shouldn’t have written about this, now you’re all going to be looking for it. *Hides*

Chapter 5

Kyubi walked down the stone halls after the meeting with Mai. He sneered when he thought of their impending take over. Pathetic. These creatures were just as bad as humans, annoyingly whiny, and complete cowards, sending him to do their dirty work. Not that the fox minded dirty work; it could be fun. If there was one thing he liked, it was chaos, and this promised plenty of that.

A door loomed into view, not just a door, *the* door. Somehow, the fox didn’t think the kid behind that door would be too happy with what he had agreed to do. Which was part of the reason we he was doing it. The brat would just have to accept that Kyubi wasn’t ever going to go soft with pathetic human sentiment. In time, Naruto would learn what it meant to be demon.

Despite these strong thoughts, the fox paused outside the door and stared with trepidation at the heavy wood. He reached forward to push it open, but then snatched his hand back as if the handle was covered in acid. He just knew the blond was waiting on the other side, and then he would just *nag*. He scowled terribly, and his clawed hand started to inch forward again. This was ridiculous; the boy just acted so fucking human, even though he wasn’t anymore. Of course, the fox was barely a demon anymore either. His hand paused half way to its destination, but then Kyubi’s lips firmed and he shoved it open with vicious force.

Any other door would have crashed into the stone wall dramatically, but this one was heavy enough that it came to a restful stop several inches from impact. The demon’s show of temper was curbed, and though the fox glared at the door for ruining his moment, this quieter entrance turned out to be a good thing.

Naruto was not waiting, arms crossed, in the middle of the room so he could lay into the Kyubi. Instead, he was curled up on the bed. Curled up quite literally, his knees were pulled up to his chest, and instead of being under the boy’s head as was proper, he had snuggled his body against the pillow, kind of as an impromptu security blanket.

The demon slunk to the bed on noiseless feet. Once there he stared down at the boy’s face. Naruto’s eyes were just a little too puffy and his nose was red, and when the fox bent closer he could smell salt.

An uncomfortable feeling grew in the demon’s gut. Naruto had been crying? That didn’t make any sense. Kyubi had been aware through all the boy’s trials, (which explained how the demon had learned to act human). He knew that the boy hadn’t cried anything but tears of joy since becoming a ninja. He had sniveled a lot when he was younger, always staring at the villager’s backs, but then he had gotten tired of crying. The sealed demon had been privy to the vow; Naruto was not going to shed tears anymore, at least not because of the way people treated him.

But he had. The uncomfortable feeling in Kyubi’s stomach swelled. Was this because of him? Gently, he reached down and stroked the blonde’s face, cupping a tear-stained cheek.

Naruto wrinkled his nose and opened his eyes, suddenly instantly awake. Blue eyes fastened on the demon looming over his prone form. Looming, and *touching* him. “Pervert-fox!” He screeched.

The demon blinked in surprise at the shriek, and then had to hastily withdraw his hand and dodge away as rapidly thrown kunai targeted the area where he had been. One clipped a strand of red hair and the fox yelped as he heard it clang in the stone behind him. Desperately, he tried to submit his innocence. “I wasn’t *doing* anything, I swear!”

Naruto stood on the bed and tossed more pointy projectiles. “Yeah right! You always try to molest me in my sleep!”

“Wait I didn’t . . . wait damn it!” The fox picked up a heavy wooden chair and held it as a shield. The throwing knives thudded into the seat, quivering as they struck, and lodging in the wood. “Stop!” Naruto stared at him and seethed, still holding a weapon in hand and pointed at him. “Look, I’ll just stay over here, all right?” The boy glared at him suspiciously, and then cautiously lowered his knife. The fox stared wearily and then shook his head. “Where did you get those anyway?” He didn’t remember the kid having weapons before.

“That big guy gave me my stuff back.” Now that he was paying more attention Kyubi noticed that the blond had his orange pants back on, and his trademark jacket was thrown carelessly over another chair. The brat hadn’t been kidding about using clothes to hide weapons.

The fox glanced back at the boy. Blue eyes met red, and they stared wearily at one another.

Crickets chirped.

Naruto grew uncomfortable with the silence first. “Look, I don’t want to have sex with you,” he blurted, and then blushed. Their argument from before seemed to be forgotten after all the excitement.

The demon cocked his head, expression warring between amusement and irritation. He settled on something in between. “Why not? You liked it and I liked it. Our bodies fit well together, but then we are the same species. Probably the only two like us.”

“I just don’t want to, okay?”

The fox studied him, and then grinned. “You’re attached to someone else.”

“What?”

“That dark boy. You know, the one with no personality. “Suseke or something.”

Naruto stared at him for a moment incredulously. “Sasuke?! Are you out of your mind? Besides, how do you even know about him?”

“I was inside you, idiot. I’m mostly aware of what’s going on in your life. Wasn’t anything else to pay attention to in the seal, and he always seemed to be around when I got close to the surface.”

Naruto’s mouth flapped, but nothing came out, allowing the fox to continue with his musings.

“I guess he’s pretty enough, kind of psychotic though.”

The blond finally managed to make his voice work. “And you’re *not*?!”

“So you do want him. You’ve known that boy for a while, what’s taking so long? If you want him, take him. Simple enough.”

“That’s not how things work!” Naruto paused as he realized how that sounded, and then: “I do *not* like Sasuke!”

Kyubi ignored him. “Monogamy is a human concept, demons don’t bother to limit themselves, why should we? Not that humans are always monogamous either. They may preach it, but from what I’ve seen it they certainly don’t always practice it. You can have sex with me even if you do want to mate with Suseke.”

“It’s *Sasuke*, and I don’t want to mate with him!”

“So we can have sex?”

“No!”

“Okay, we don’t have to have sex.” Naruto relaxed, and the demon took advantage of the lowered guard to pounce. He slammed the blond back into the bed, restraining his flailing limbs and quickly disarming him. It was disturbing how easy it was, but then Naruto wasn’t really trying. “We can just play around a little.”

“What?!” Naruto squirmed and cursed, and the demon found himself hard-pressed - no pun intended - to keep his hold on the wriggly kid.

“Would you relax?!” The demon hissed, pinning Naruto’s arms above his head with one hand.

“If you get away from me, then I will relax!”

Kyubi snorted, and then grinned. “Don’t worry about it, I’ll make you relax.”

“Huh?” Naruto said, and then: “what are you doing?!” The demon’s free hand slid down to his side and began to lightly poke him. The blond shrieked. “That tickles! Hey, stop . . .” unwillingly Naruto started to laugh, wiggling helplessly to get away from the tormenting fingers. “Don’t do that . . .” He chortled and then squealed at a particularly wicked poke.

The fox was grinning wildly as he continued to tickle. “You going to behave now, brat?”

Naruto was shrieking with laughter, but around the fiendish tickling he managed to gasp out some words. “I . . . pervert-fox! You’re mean!”

“That’s not an answer.” The demon set to tickling in earnest, and Naruto spent the next several minutes squirming and squealing with helpless mirth.

Finally, Kyubi figured that the blond had had enough. He took his hand from the ticklish sides and instead ran it through Naruto’s spiky soft hair. The boy was still gasping for air in reaction from the extended laughter. He also seemed a lot less alarmed to be pinned underneath the fox-demon. Kyubi bit back a grin.

Naruto hiccupped helplessly. “Now look what (hic) you did (hic). It hurts my (hic) stomach.”

“Hold your breath.”

Naruto tried, but failed with a particularly violent spasm forcing him to breathe. Kyubi shook his head at the boy’s helplessness. He bent down and covered the blonde’s mouth with his own, and his tongue stabbed between the surprised lips in a sneak attack. He kissed him wetly and then drew back with a smug grin.

Naruto looked up at him, eyes gone wide. “What the hell was that?!”

“You’re not hiccupping anymore are you?”

Naruto paused and took stock. It was true, but still. “You couldn’t think of a better way to stop ‘em?”

Kyubi chuckled low in his throat, giving the boy a patently patronizing glance. “You’re so young.”

“I am not!” The fox just looked at him. “I’m not!”

“Oh please, afraid of a little kissing. You’re a baby.”

“I am not afraid of a . . .”

“Prove it,” the fox interrupted, teeth gleaming in their wicked grin.

Naruto glared. “I am not falling for that, fox-pervert.”

Kyubi gave him a look, and then let go of his hands. “Whatever you say, bratling.” He rolled off the blond and started to get off the bed, shaking his head in amusement.

If the fox had continued to pin him down, they would have argued some more. Despite this, or rather because of this, Naruto would not have given into the obvious taunts. Eventually, they would have both flounced off to opposite corners of the room to sulk. But if there was one thing the blond couldn’t stand, it was being dismissed. With a sudden growl, Naruto grabbed the Kyubi’s shoulder and yanked him backwards.

The following sequence of events couldn’t have worked better if the fox had planned it.

Naruto planted a wet inexpert kiss on the demon’s mouth. Not getting an immediate response from the surprised Kyubi, the blond growled and ate at closed lips, as if he was trying to put the demon back inside his stomach. Naruto then proceeded to push the fox back until he could climb on top, where he continued his violent nipping.

Finally getting into the game, Kyubi parted his lips and drew the blonde’s tongue into his mouth. They battled with tongues for almost a full minute before the fox managed to gentle the action into something resembling a kiss. A messy violent kiss, but a kiss still the same. The demon slid his hands along the blonde’s spine until he reached his buttocks. There, he cupped his hands and gently pressed Naruto’s hips into his. Naruto let out a surprised squawk at the action, and the fox immediately gentled his hold, hands light and caressing in an easily breakable hold, should the blond decide to end this. A couple more coaxing kisses - accentuated by an arousing roll of hips, that served to remind the boy of the pleasure inherent in their previous encounter - and Naruto relaxed again.

After making sure that the blond was excited enough not to run off at the first sign of something new, Kyubi carefully disengaged his lips with one last wet lick. With a naughty grin, he slithered down Naruto’s body, pausing to nuzzle interesting bits along the way. Blue eyes watched him uncertainly as he came to rest by a hip, gently nipping the strip of sun-bronzed skin exposed from a ridden up shirt. “What are you doing?” Naruto asked, voice obviously nervous, but with an undercurrent of excitement that assured the Kyubi he wasn’t about to run off in a panic.

Slitted red eyes glanced up, sparking with wicked lust. The Kyubi gripped the waistband of Naruto’s orange pants – and how easy this would be if the boy didn’t insist on the ridiculous coverings – and gently began to tug them downwards. “I’m kissing you,” the demon said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. The pants cleared the obvious erection, and it bobbed in the air, shyly seeking. The fox licked his lips and left the cloth around his knees. That way, running away would be more difficult.

Naruto’s eyebrows drew together in confusion. “But . . .”

The fox, with true foxy cunning, didn’t let the blond voice his possible objections. Instead, he lowered his head and licked in a broad stripe over the head of the bobbing organ.

Naruto squeaked, and watched with suddenly wide eyes.

Kyubi watched him back, though the glance was hidden under thick lowered lashes. He returned his attention back to his task, and began to use his slightly-rougher-than-human tongue to bathe the boy’s excitement, as if he were licking a fox-kit clean. Though this, of course, was a great deal more naughty.

Naruto had gone still, eyes about ready to pop out of his head. His breath came in harsh pants, and his hands began to fist helplessly in the blankets. Kyubi shot him another half-hidden glance, and purred with satisfaction before blowing gently on the wet base of the blonde’s erection. A small, half-stifled moan was his response.

The young one tasted and smelled familiar, and the fox demon couldn’t help the rumbling purr from growing in intensity. It felt right to do this, to pleasure and tease this child of his flesh, even if he had been created in an unconventional way. They were the same, and every nibble and resulting moan reminded him of that. He wanted *all* of him.

He swallowed him whole. Naruto let out a funny yip, part squeal, part moan, as he was suddenly gripped in silken wet heat. Kyubi dragged his mouth off and then swallowed the hard flesh again. His tongue slid wickedly along the bottom of the blonde’s shaft, and his lips carefully protected sensitive flesh from sharp canines.

Naruto was panting helplessly, head tossed back with the tendons on his neck standing out in sharp relief. Kyubi glanced up again, and then slid his clawed hand past the blonde’s drawn up balls, until he reached the strip of skin directly behind them. He pressed down firmly.

Naruto shrieked and came. Blue eyes went blank as he thrashed helplessly, breathing erratic and almost pained. The fox licked him through it, and then gently drew back when the blond began to twitch with the over stimulation of too sensitive flesh.

Kyubi rested his head on Naruto’s hip and glanced up his body to study his face. The teenager looked out of it, all glazed eyes and slack features. Possibly out of it enough that the redheaded demon would be allowed to go even further.

And he so badly wanted to go further.

Snuffling delicately, the demon nuzzled into the silken indent of the blonde’s hipbone. He cuddled for a second, than stealthily slid his hand back between Naruto’s legs, bypassing his limp penis to nudge gently behind his balls again. There, he hesitated a second, then slid his hand even further down and brushed gently against the small pucker. Naruto murmured something lethargically, but otherwise didn’t object.

Kyubi purred. He licked his own finger to get it good and wet, and then moved it back into position. Gently, he pressed down, careful of his sharp claw, until the tip slid in.

*That* got the satiated boy’s attention. He jerked slightly in surprise, though not enough to dislodge the intruding digit, and stared down at the fox with wide blue eyes. “What . . .” he swallowed, trying to get moisture back into his dry mouth. “What are you doing?” He squeaked.

The fox smiled up at him, trying to look encouraging. It didn’t work; the expression came up as distinctly predatory. Which, under the circumstances, certainly made more sense. “Relax. This will feel even better than the stuff before. I promise.”

Naruto did not look convinced. In fact, the suspicion was definitely returning to his features. Thinking fast, the fox gently withdraw his finger and urged the boy onto his stomach. He was slightly resistant, but with gently coaxing hands the demon managed to get him to turn over. He bent over the prone form and nuzzled against the blonde’s buttocks. Then he gave a hard nip to the left cheek.

Naruto squawked and twisted his head over his shoulder, trying to see what the fox was up to.

The demon licked the spot apologetically, than licked down further into the crease. His tongue moved to the soft pucker of flesh and slid across it wetly. Naruto’s breath left him with a sudden surprised whoosh. “What are you . . . what do you think you’re doing *now*?” The blond was embarrassed to hear his voice break on the last word.

The fox chuckled, and bent down a little further to briefly suck on the soft testicles. Hearing the boy’s surprised moan of renewed interest, he moved back up to his real area of interest. “I’m still kissing you, that’s all.”

Naruto shivered as the agile tongue delved gently into the little hole. “That’s not . . . I . . .” he shivered violently and trailed off as the wet muscle thrust in and out. Those damn teenaged hormones were getting in the way of any intelligent thoughts, which were impossible anyway when the all the blood was rushing to his cock. He twisted his head back around his shoulder and tried to marshal his remaining brainpower. “We can’t . . .”

The fox looked up at him briefly, and for a second those dangerous red eyes were serious. “I’d never hurt you. I couldn’t.”

Naruto stared, and then moaned again helplessly as the demon bent back to his task. Wracked with shivers, the blond almost didn’t notice when the tongue left and a finger was worked gently inside, this time all the way. Naruto fisted the bed covers. It felt strange, not painful, just vaguely uncomfortable. Then a hand was moved under him to play with his penis, which was more than half erect again, while the finger buried inside of him was gently crooked.

Naruto moaned and hunched at the sudden, achy burst of pleasure. “Oh god, what . . .”

“Shh,” the demon hushed him quickly, moving his finger in careful hooking motions. Kyubi’s mind was moving a mile a minute. He knew what he wanted this to eventually lead to, but somehow he didn’t think that spit was quite going to cut it, and he refused to hurt the boy. Frantically, he looked around for something, and then his eyes fell on the orange pants still wrapped and confining around Naruto’s ankles. The boy had made such a point about how ninja’s could hide all sorts of things in their clothes.

Kyubi shrugged to himself. It was worth a shot. He pulled his hand out from under the blond, ignoring the groan of disappointment, and pulled the pants free. He then quickly searched through them.

Kunai. Kunai. Yet another kunai. What looked like a garrote, or maybe it was just a piece of twine? More kunai, including some with exploding tags. A couple of smoke bombs, next to what appeared to be a pretty red rock. And then . . . the fox nearly crowed in triumph. A small jar of something which he quickly unscrewed and then sniffed. It smelled vaguely like aloe, and the demon decided this might be part of a small store of emergency medical supplies. The important thing was that it would work for his purposes.

Quickly, he lubed up two fingers with the contents of the little jar, and then returned them to Naruto’s body. He slid both digits in. Despite the extra lube, it was a tight fit.

Naruto seemed to think so too. “I don’t think I like this,” he said, twisting around and glancing uncertainly at the fox. “It doesn’t feel good.”

“Shh. Just give it a couple of minutes.” Kyubi quickly slid his free hand back to the blonde’s erection and started to stroke. Naruto gasped and then moaned helplessly. He relaxed further and then shivered. The fingers were starting to feel good again.

The fox urged him onto his hands and knees with a coaxing murmur, which allowed better access for his stroking. Naruto gasped and then hunched slightly at the better angle. The fox draped himself over his back, hands still working. He purred softly and added a third finger. By now the blond was starting to thrust back against the heavy pressure inside of him.

Deciding that Naruto was ready, the demon carefully removed his fingers. The blond tried to follow them as they slid out of his body, making a small sound of distress at the loss.

“It’s okay,” the fox murmured into his ear as he hunched over him. “We’re almost there.”

Kyubi’s erection nudged against the loosened entrance, and Naruto immediately began to push back into it before realizing that this was a lot bigger than a couple of fingers. He stopped uncertainly, but the fox kept pushing forward regardless. At the same time, he stroked the blonde’s penis harder to distract him from any potential pain.

“Relax and open up for me,” the fox whispered, moving forward gradually but inexorably.

Naruto gasped at the uncomfortable burn and froze as he felt the head pop through. Kyubi kept pushing, and Naruto tried to concentrate on the hand stroking his erection instead. It only sort of worked.

Finally, the fox was fully seated. He murmured soothingly and used his free hand to stroke the boy’s back. He kept still, but if Naruto had been able to see the look of concentrated carnality on the demon’s features he would have run for the hills. Though it was a little late for that regardless.

Naruto shifted experimentally. Now that it was all the way in, it didn’t seem to hurt so much, though the feeling of fullness started an ache in his gut. The fox nudged a bare inch, and Naruto gasped.

That had almost felt good.

Carefully, he wriggled again, and Kyubi responded with another gentle rock in and out of his body. If he just moved a little more he might hit the same thing that his fingers had found . . .

As if reading his mind, the fox responded with a harder shove. Than he pulled nearly all the way out, leaving Naruto empty and aching, before slamming forward with sudden force.

Naruto cried out and pitched helplessly forward. His fingers fisted in the bed covers as the fox found a pounding, and achingly good, rhythm. The demon renewed his efforts on stroking his leaking cock, and Naruto began to pant helplessly, breath catching at every powerful inward thrust. The blonde’s body began to seize, and he found himself on the edge of orgasm.

And then someone pounded on their door, and then, without waiting for an answer, shoved the heavy wood open. “Kyubi! Mai says it’s time for you to . . .” The cat-like creature that had so rudely interrupted trailed off, staring at the unexpected sight before him.

Naruto glanced up. “Oh crap . . . stupid fox-pervert . . .” Then his body clenched down violently and he came with a helpless little whimper all over the bed covers.

The demon moaned at the clenching muscle around him, and then turned to glare at the intruder standing stunned in the doorway. He snarled, and a ball of pure chakra burst out of his body to slam into the interloper.

The force of the blast sent the creature careening back through the door, and another brief burst of power slammed the door behind him. The demon redoubled his thrusts into Naruto’s now limp body. Suddenly, he stiffened. Through his own post-orgasmic haze, Naruto could feel the hot seed bathe his insides.

The demon groaned and went limp.

Some minutes later, Naruto began to stir. He pulled his mashed face out of the covers and glanced toward the door, before carefully trying to wiggle out of the heavy weight atop him. The demon groaned again, and carefully pulled his almost flaccid penis out. He then rolled over and threw an arm across his eyes.

Naruto continued to stare at the door. There was a noticeable dent in it from the force of Kyubi’s chakra blast. The blond flushed red, and his jaw worked helplessly. “He . . . that guy . . . he saw us!”

Kyubi sighed, and took his arm away from his face. He glanced over at Naruto who was frantically pulling a blanket around him to cover his nakedness. The fox sighed again.

They both glanced towards the door. Even through its heavy – though slightly askew – weight, they could hear someone arguing on the other side. Naruto clutched his blanket protectively and spoke imperiously to the fox. “Well, go see what they want!”

The demon looked at the blushing boy, and grumbled, realizing he wasn’t going to get to enjoy his post-orgasmic haze. The kid could get loud when he was embarrassed. With yet another sigh the fox proceeded to roll off the side of the bed.

On the other side of the door, the murmuring grew louder. Kyubi strode to the door. He supposed he could see what was so important that the annoying idiots had to interrupt him.

A loud screech from behind stopped him. “Clothes, pervert-fox! You can’t answer the door like that!” Naruto squawked, cheeks pink with the thought of this becoming any more embarrassing, not that that was possible.

Kyubi caught himself mid stride and stopped to yank a pair of pants off the floor. He was feeling generous, and he knew that if he didn’t listen they’d probably never get to do this again. After pulling them on, he continued to the door and yanked it open.

The already abused door separated from its hinges and crashed to the floor. The fox shrugged and pushed the splintered wood out of his way.

On the other side of the door, a half-snake woman had joined the cat-creature. Her scales dragged against the ground as she straightened from where she had been holding a frantic conversation with the other being. They both stopped and looked at the demon uncertainly.

Kyubi snorted. “What do you want? Or do you just enjoy getting a free show?”

The cat-creature, who was favoring his left arm, flushed underneath the fur. “I . . . Mai says it’s time.”

“Oh he does, does he?” The demon sneered. “Christ, could the fire jackass have worse timing?”

“Time for what?”

The three turned and glanced at Naruto, who was still wrapped modestly in a sheet. He flushed in embarrassment, and then shook himself so he could continue to glare suspiciously at Kyubi. “Time for what?” He repeated.

Kyubi looked at him, sneer softening slightly. “Nothing you have to worry about,” he said, with a dismissive flick of his fingers.

Naruto scowled. “Pervert-fox, you’re a liar. What the hell are you up to?”

The cat-creature sniffed and scratched his injured arm. “Just a little regime change. We’ll all be better off. No more hiding from humans.”

Naruto stiffened. “What?! Oh like hell fox! You stay out of trouble!”

An irritated expression crossed Kyubi’s face. “I’ll do whatever I want brat. You stay here.”

“Fuck you! You will not!” Naruto took a threatening step forward, and suddenly the fox moved, faster than a thought. He grabbed the blond by his waist and threw him headfirst at the bed.

The ninja managed to twist around midair and land on his feet. Naruto glared and got ready to launch himself at the fox again, but Kyubi was already walking out the door. “Hey kitty-cat and snake-lady. Make sure the brat stays in this room.”

The woman glanced up, looking outraged. “We are not babysitters!”

Kyubi snorted. “You are what I say you are. And if you hurt him, I’ll rip you apart once I’m done with the Lady. Be good, brat.”

“Hey!” Naruto yelled, but the demon was already through the door and gone.

He looked at the two creatures blocking the doorway. His eyes narrowed, and suddenly chakra surrounded him in a bright orange aura. His hair crackled with the sudden influx of power.

“Hey, you two. Get out of my way.”




To the Readers: I just wanted to thank all my readers for the incredibly kind reviews I’ve been receiving. I wrote the lemon for all you folks in all your greatness, (seriously, originally I was planning on this story having only a PG-13 rating). I hope it works! For those of you who have asked about the Sasuke/Naruto pairing all I can say is . . . maybe.

Also, I’m planning to wrap this up in another two chapters, but we’ll see how that goes.

Thanks again!
