Outside in one of the more public gardens, amongst the morning parasites that swarmed to his mother's funeral, Sasuke could, just barely, see Naruto's shining golden locks peeking from the tree line at the very edge of the garden.
To say the least, Sasuke's handling of the situation with his so called 'wife' and Naruto had been a disaster, but then trying to stop the enraged boy while gasping in pain, curled up in a ball on the ground, did play a part in him not being able to chase after him. Getting a royal knee to the testacles had pissed him off and had also delayed him in going after the blonde…getting sapped in the family jewels had a way of doing that to a man.
Finding out that the servants and other staff members in the mansion had up right turned a blind eye, not stopping Naruto as he ran down the halls in only a white sheet covering his naked body had Sasuke seeing red. But the kicker was that who Naruto had mistaken as his 'wife' had been none other then the girl his father was trying to marry him off to. What's her name…Suki?...no…
"I hear that father is trying to marry you to Sakura Haruno."
Ahhh, yea, that's what her name was, Sasuke thought as he turned and greeted his elder bother, Itachi.
"From the look on your face I can only assume that you didn't remember her name?"
"Since she, nor her father's company, is of any interest to me I have no need to," Sasuke coldly replied, daring his brother, with a cutting glance, to say anything about the subject. A look that was totally wasted when his elder sibling jabbed the middle of his forehead with his index finger. "Ow! Damn you!"
"Such a disrespectful look you show your big brother. Besides that, I don't see any reason why you need to marry, and I have also made it clear to father that his rabid need to accumulate more power will lead to his down fall, especially the way he is going about it."
Sasuke calmed and gave a soft 'hmpf'. He should have known that his brother would be on his side, just as Itachi had been his whole life. "You told father you were against him trying to push that poor girl onto me?" Sasuke had to smile at the mental picture that popped into his head. While their father was a formidable, and dangerous man, when next to Itachi their father was rendered into a whining child. Uchiha Fugakudidn't mean to be an asshole; it was just how he was.
Demanding, unbending, ever wanting his own way and if it were not for his brother, Sasuke knew that the Hidden Leaf counsel would have had their entire clan exterminated. In fact, they were in constant danger of such a thing happening. But because of how powerful they were individually, those with the Sharingan abilities… It was only because of his brother and his iron fist of controlling their clan that the other powerful clans did not step up to take them out…that and because they couldn't take the tremendous loss of life of pure Chakra users the counsel would lose if they fought back.
"I see that you have decided to keep mother's play thing."
Sasuke stiffened. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"The blonde that's been watching us from afar; the host for the Nine-Tailed demon fox. The boy mother purchased seven years ago from a small little secluded village in-between the secret borders of the Hidden Leaf and Hidden Sand."
Sasuke should of known that his brother already knew all about Naruto.
"Did you bind him to you as did our mother?"
Sasuke grit his teeth. "And if I didn't?" Black eyes met black as Sasuke stood his ground and stared back at his brother.
"It was a rhetorical question, Sasuke. I already know you have just as I've heard that you've taken him as your lover. If you hadn't bound him to you, the spirited boy would have taken off already. Fled from this prison our mother kept him in."
"And…?" Sasuke hated to think that he might have to fight his brother over Naruto, not that he didn't think he could take Itachi down if he needed to. He spent his whole life being compared to his older brother, and trained his ass off so that if he ever went head to head he had the skills to do it….he just didn't want to.
"And, my impatient little brother, I think you did very well. Mother's hold on her servants began to loosen when she became sicker, and while I tried my best to keep the boy's name, and what he was, from leaking out a few whispers escaped out into the open."
Sasuke cursed. Binding Naruto to him had been mostly out of desire to manipulate the boy into staying by his side, but a part of him had also chained the blonde to him because he knew the dangers of what would happen when the boy no longer had his mother's protection.
"How much time do I have?" Sasuke whispered darkly.
"Not very much, I would say. I would suggest that you go to him now and correct the misunderstanding that had you curled up in a fetal position two days ago."
Sasuke blushed and glared at Itachi. "Is there anything you don't know?"
"When it comes to my loving little brother? No."
"What about the vultures?" asked Sasuke, nodding his head to the 'mourners'.
"I haven't been bird hunting in a while. Today is looking to be a great day for cooked duck. Oh, and if I were you, I'd scamper off quickly. From what I've heard your, 'wanna-be' wife, will be making her appearance to pay her respects to you, and maybe even console you in your grief. Remember that there are non-Chakra users here, so refrain from drawing attention to yourself and using any."
"Terrific," Sasuke mumbled as he walked away, ignoring the calls from strangers beckoning him over, silently giving them the finger. Up ahead the blonde head that what been surveying the funeral disappeared the more he separated himself from the group.
Sasuke took the round about way to get to the blonde, just in case someone was following him. It didn't take him very long to find Naruto, the way he was broadcasting his anger and strangely sadness and sorrow. But that, Sasuke hadn't planned on, or finding the boy high up on a thick tree branch… High up where he couldn't reach out and grab him.
"Are you going to come down and talk to me?" Sasuke called up to Naruto, who was irritatingly shredding leaves and sprinkling it down at him.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but I don't talk to two-timing bastards who cheat on their wives."
Sasuke tried to keep his temper under control.
"Than again, I did fuck your mom, so I guess you can say we're even now."
Sasuke could feel his eye start ticking. Deciding to ignore the comment about Mikoto and Naruto's past relationship, Sasuke tried another tactic. "You sure have got a high opinion of yourself. You told me once how I wasn't that great but you know you're not a fucking prize either."
"'Psh', yea I am, cuz your mama use to tell me every night now great I was every time. That's right bitch, I said it. I went there again."
The hell with this, thought Sasuke. The knowledge that Naruto and his mother were lovers was something his already knew. Hearing about it from Itachi or from anyone else wasn't a big deal. He could listen to it and blow it off as if it was about someone else, but hearing Naruto say it was too much.
"Come. Down. Now!" Sasuke hissed through clenched teeth.
"I'll come. I'll go down, and I'll do it now, but not with you."
"You just wait until I get my hands on you," Sasuke threatened, willingly falling for the blonde's baiting.
"What's keep'n ya? An adulterer like you should know all the tricks, right?"
"I'm not married," Sasuke repeated irritably under his breath.
Giving up on trying to get Naruto to come down to him, fed up, and pissed, Sasuke stripped out of his black dress coat and began to climb the tree determined to pull the misinformed punk down by his hair if he needed to.
Naruto scrambled up to the next nearest thick branch. He had purposely taunted the raven haired bastard for this particular moment. Pillowcase full of pinecones, Naruto waited until Sasuke was high enough off the ground before he started firing away.
"Naruto!"
Ignoring Sasuke's enraged shout, Naruto continued his pine cone assault and cheered with every hit he scored until a bolt of lightening had him diving for cover, which was pretty impossible to do since he was up in a tree.
"Are you crazy? You almost got me!" Naruto screamed, breaking off a small branch and throwing it at Sasuke's head.
Sasuke glared at Naruto after ducking the stick that was thrown at his head. He knew Itachi had warned him about not using Chakra, but climbing up the damn tree without any power, and having to deal with Naruto throwing crap at his head made him snap. After dealing with all the leeches that came to his mother's funeral looking for bread crumbs they 'might' from her death and also using the occasion to rub elbows with his clan, the blonde was lucky all he did was take a shot at him…then again shooting off a bolt of Chidori might not have been the best of decisions, but having a pinecone bounce off his forehead had disintegrated his better judgment.
"You're lucky that's all I've done!" Sasuke hissed through clenched teeth.
Sasuke was pass caring who would feel the disturbance of him using Chakra, and considering he just fucked up with the Chidori, he was sure Itachi had the minds of the 'normal' people under control and those that were of their clan were smart enough to keep their mouths shut if they felt anything, so he stopped holding back.
Jumping to the closest branch by Naruto, Sasuke began to inch closer to the blonde. "We need to talk Naruto."
Naruto scratched his cheek with his middle finger. "Sure, I'm always up to play psychiatrist, so why don't you find a nice little nest of fallen leaves and I'll come on over, fuck you, then have my wife call you to schedule your next appointment….oh, wait…I'm not married. Crap, I had hoped that your wife and my wife could get together and trade stories about the both of us and the nutty things we get ourselves into; guess I'm not that big of a fucking prick like some people I know."
"For the last time, I'm not married!"
Sasuke wasn't someone who liked repeating himself so having to constantly tell the over emotional blonde that he wasn't married was making him insane. And the taunting from Naruto didn't help matters either.
"My father, for the past couple months has been pushing this debutant on me, telling people that we are getting married but we are not. We are not getting married, not now nor in the future are we tying the knot." Sasuke was also not someone that need to explain anything to anyone, but to keep the peace with Naruto he forced himself to open his mouth and tell the boy while he held his hands out to him, who was on the tree branch slightly higher up and across from him.
Naruto raised his brows at the hands that Sasuke held out to him.
"Okay…maybe what you are saying is true and maybe I could have overreacted after that girl calling said she was your wife, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm pissed at you. So whatever the hell that is," Naruto waved to Sasuke's hands that were still stretched out towards him, "you can take it and shove it up your ass."
Naruto knew for a fact that Sasuke wasn't married. He had already discovered that little piece of information the day he had run out on the stoic uppity rich boy he had left whimpering on the floor holding his abused junk. He had run into Hinata on his mad dash to get to the gardens wrapped up only in a sheet.
Naruto would have loved to say that it had been embarrassing for the girl, and him as well, to see him in his birthday suit since it was very windy that day, and he hadn't really taken the time to secure the sheet around his body….but sadly Hinata had seen him in much more shameful circumstances with the old woman so seeing him only in the master's bed linins wasn't a first.
Hinata, the kind and loving friend that she was, had cleared the air regarding the young Uchiha and his marital status once she got him to tell her why he was so angry. She had told him that Sasuke wasn't married, never been married and while his father was pressuring him, Sasuke wasn't obligated to do anything his father ordered him to do….Naruto knew all of this, but he still attacked Sasuke about it the moment he saw him.
The comments about Mikoto…that might have been a little too much, but just looking at Sasuke's handsome face had pissed him off. And before he knew it, the mama cheap shots and other comments popped right out of his mouth.
Sasuke lowered his hands. "It's been two days. Where have you been? I've had my people searching the buildings from top to bottom, the gardens, everywhere. I know you can't leave the property but for the life of me I couldn't find you. Wanna tell me where you were?"
Naruto pulled another pinecone from the pillowcase and threw it up in the air, catching it and repeating his actions.
"Around."
As in, he had been in his secret room that was connected to Mikoto's room. The only people that knew how to get in his room were Hinata, he, and Mikoto. It was pretty safe to say Mikoto wouldn't be ratting him out.
His anger was stemmed from two days of not being able to communicate with the Kyuubi. No matter what Naruto tried to do, all he heard was silence from his one and only true friend, and it was deafening. The more frustrated he got, the angrier he became. Thinking about that, Naruto narrowed his blue eyes at the person that took the Nine-Tail from him and hocked another pinecone at his duck-billed head.
Sasuke growled when he dodged the cone that accurately would have hit him in the face.
"Stop now, or else," threatened Sasuke.
"Or else what?" Naruto taunted. "Are you going to call your wife and cry to her? Or are you going to find the next closest person that I care about and take them away from me too?"
Sasuke frowned. "Is this what this is all about? Me trapping that demon in you so it would stop interfering with us?" Sasuke laughed. "This whole temper tantrum is about that, isn't it?"
Naruto glowered at Sasuke. "I know you're not laughing at me. This isn't some small issue for me!" Naruto threw the whole pillowcase at Sasuke. "The Nine-Tail has been with me my whole life! You had no right to take him away from me!"
Fed up, Sasuke leaped onto the branch the blonde was on. "It was a necessary step, and one I had to make on the fly. It wasn't meant to hurt you or make you feel alienated." Sasuke slowly, one foot in front of the other, made his way across the limb to Naruto.
The more Sasuke yapped, the more Naruto felt like smashing his face in. The way the brunette talked to him made him feel…like he was being spoken to as if he was a chick!
Naruto was so angry he was shaking.
"…."
Sasuke paused in his stalking of the blonde. He was close enough that he could see that Naruto's eyes weren't the beautiful deep sapphire blue he loved… They were more the color his eyes got when he was using his Sharingan minus the pinwheels. Blood red irises, with feline slits of that of a cat…or a fox.
"Naruto," Sasuke carefully, cloyingly, called out, "This whole thing can easily be undone."
Not that Sasuke had any intention of doing so any time soon. The damn demon had made it very clear in its actions when ever it was around him, that it hated him and would love if he just disappeared. Sasuke wasn't about to let the damn thing free, just so it could cause interference between their already rocky relationship. But he could see that he needed to calm the enraged blonde down, could see the demon rise up from within Naruto the longer he left him to shimmer, and that was the last thing Sasuke wanted.
Shaking his head Naruto glared at Sasuke, his vision almost seeming to paint everything around him red in his rage.
Sasuke watched as the whisker scars on Naruto's cheeks become more pronounce, the nails on his fingers become sharper and more claw-like, and the curious hisses escaping from the boy's lips. Not the mention the threatening warnings showed glimpses of fangs.
Naruto had never felt the kind of anger he was feeling now, even when his parents and fellow villagers abused him. The amount of rage he felt was irrational, and he even knew what he was feeling was going overboard. But he couldn't stop it.
The anger burned. It hurt, but within that pain, he thought he felt the comforting caress of the Kyuubi. So he held on to that rage, shutting out the voice of reason that whispered for him to let his anger go.
Sasuke froze for a split second when he saw the red almost evil— Chakra begin to engulf Naruto, and acting on instinct, he rushed the blonde. The power that emanated from Naruto was something he couldn't hide, something that was too strong for even his brother Itachi to cover up, and Sasuke knew that if he didn't snap the boy out of whatever it was that was bringing the power of the Nine-Tail out in him… Then the predators he was trying to protect Naruto from would be on them in a heartbeat.
Tackling Naruto, Sasuke tried to twist his body as they fell, the ground coming quickly towards them while trying to also keep a firm grip on the blonde. Not to mention also protect his face as Naruto lashed out at him, who growling inhumanly at him.
The forest floor proved to be just as hard as it looked, and Sasuke's hold on Naruto slipped when the breath was knocked out of him. It was just what the boy needed to gain the upper hand. Sasuke barely had a chance to suck in a lung full of air before Naruto attacked him.
An out-of-body experience; that was it felt like he was having. Naruto could see himself go all Norman Bates from the movie Psycho on Sasuke. Not normal behavior for him. And the red glowing bubbly stuff, that was something one would seriously go and see a doctor about.
But it was the connection he finally felt after trying so hard, a brittle link to his friend.
'Naru…'
The rage that had submerged Naruto wavered when he heard his name…and with it the fragile tie between the old fox and him. Distressed, Naruto tried to hold onto the fury that had united them…but in a flash it was gone leaving Naruto to wonder if he had really heard the Kyuubi's voice in his head at all or if…he had imagined it all.
As if jolted back into his body, Naruto looked down at Sasuke, and quickly closed his eyes when he saw the three black tear drops in the raven's dangerously glaring red eyes. Before his eyes had closed, Naruto had seen deep scratches on Sasuke's chest, through what was left of his shredded white shirt that was also stained with blood.
"Woops," said Naruto with a little laugh. "Ma bad."
"Your bad?" Sasuke growled.
Every bone in his body had felt like it had been about to break from the unbelievable pressure of the demon's power pressing down on him. Sasuke had been helpless to do anything because to retaliate would have meant he would have to harm the blonde, seriously hurt the boy with the amount of power he would have had to use to just keep the Nail-Tail from kicking his ass.
"Ow!" Naruto cried out as Sasuke flipped him onto his back and landed on top of him.
"If you think I'm going to take it lying on my back, you're dead wrong! I said I was sorry, damn it!" Naruto may have lost the ability to change into the small compact form of the Kyuubi, as well as the inhuman strength for the time being, but hell if he was going to get treated like some kept bitch, some poor little hoe that Sasuke could push around.
Sasuke hissed with the blonde's knuckles grazed the side of his face in a fighter's caress.
"Damn it! Stop fighting me!" Sasuke yelled and captured Naruto's wrists and slamming them to the muddy ground. "I've got enough wounds from you already!"
"Then get off of me!" Naruto shouted, as he struggled to get out from under the overgrown brute.
Wiggling his body between Naruto's thrashing legs, Sasuke slammed his mouth over the blonde's in a fierce kiss, slanting his mouth over his and didn't lessen his assault until he felt Naruto's body become placid under his.
"Are you calm now?" whispered Sasuke, rocking his hips into the blonde, letting Naruto feel his need.
"Yea, I'm fine…" Naruto whispered back, his eyes glued to Sasuke's lips, "doesn't change the fact that I want you to get off of me though."
"Are you sure?" Sasuke grinned, grinding his hips.
Naruto gasped in pain. "Yes I'm freak'n sure! I got a big ass rock digging into my back! What is it with you tackling me into the dirt? Get off."
Sasuke grunted when the agile blonde lifted his legs, moaned for a pleasurable second, and placed his feet up, under them, onto his chest and shoved him off to send him flying back.
"Dickhead," muttered Naruto as he groaned, sitting up and tried to rub the spot in the middle of his back. "I got leaves in my hair," Naruto grumbled.
Sasuke stood and dusted his pants. "I landed on my back from almost two stories up, got my face almost beaten in and barely stopped you from clawing my heart out of my chest."
Naruto glared at Sasuke. "As I said "ma bad", what do you want? Me to kiss it and make it all better?"
"Yes, I do." Sasuke grinned.
"Let me ask your wife first, to get her approval before I do that." Naruto huffed as he too stood up.
"I told you I'm not married!" The wife comments were seriously pissing Sasuke off. He didn't want anyone thinking that he was getting married; and not to someone that his father, of all people, chose for him.
Naruto already knew that Sasuke wasn't married, but as powerless as he was in his present situation, it was the only thing he could really say to get under Sasuke's skin…that and the mama stuff.
"So you say," Naruto sneered. "Why should I believe you? Not when you've proven to be a little shit? I tell you what. You let me go and by doing so showing me I can trust you and than I'll believe you."
Sasuke didn't even have to think before flat out denying Naruto. His mother might have had purely selfish reasons why she kept Naruto by her side –and he wasn't denying that he did too— but he also was thinking about the blonde and his safety by locking him to his side as well.
Naruto's hands fisted at his side when he heard the clear "No" that Sasuke uttered loud and clear.
I need to get away from him to clear my head, thought Naruto, turning his back on the larger boy.
"Where do you think you're going?" Sasuke asked when Naruto began to walk away.
"Leaving, but because of you I won't be going too far away," Naruto grumbled.
With just a few quick steps, Sasuke grabbed Naruto, and once again they both went tumbling back on the forest floor. Naruto began to struggle, the sound of his shirt ripping in their fight for dominance.
"Get off me, damn you!" Naruto shouted for the umpteenth time, but this time he was on his knees with Sasuke behind him, holding one of his arms behind his back. He was getting pretty sick and tired of getting overpowered by the raven haired bastard.
"N-Naruto-kun?"
"Sasuke!"
Both Sasuke and Naruto's heads snapped up to the female voices that called out their names.
Naruto could just imagine what Hinata, who was standing slightly behind a pretty pink haired girl, was thinking. They were hidden fairly well so the girls probably –well, depending on when they showed up— probably heard the both of them grunting and groaning and considering the positions they were in….well, even if someone didn't have a dirty mind, they couldn't help but think of what they might have been doing.
"Naruto-kun, you're bleeding!"
Instead of reassuring Hinata, Naruto looked at the pink haired girl and the jealous rage shining in her light green eyes, and did the first thing that came to his mind.
He began to 'cry'.

He knew Itachi had warned him about not using Chakra, but climbing up the damn tree without any power, and having to deal with Naruto throwing crap at his head made him snap. After dealing with all the leeches that came to his mother's funeral looking for bread crumbs they 'might' from her death and also using the occasion to rub elbows with his clan, the blonde was lucky all he did was take a shot at him…then again shooting off a bolt of Chidori might not have been the best of decisions, but having a pinecone bounce off his forehead had disintegrated his better judgment.
"You're lucky that's all I've done!" Sasuke hissed through clenched teeth.
Sasuke was pass caring who would feel the disturbance of him using Chakra, and considering he just fucked up with the Chidori, he was sure Itachi had the minds of the 'normal' people under control and those that were of their clan were smart enough to keep their mouths shut if they felt anything, so he stopped holding back.
Jumping to the closest branch by Naruto, Sasuke began to inch closer to the blonde. "We need to talk Naruto."
Naruto scratched his cheek with his middle finger. "Sure, I'm always up to play psychiatrist, so why don't you find a nice little nest of fallen leaves and I'll come on over, fuck you, then have my wife call you to schedule your next appointment….oh, wait…I'm not married. Crap, I had hoped that your wife and my wife could get together and trade stories about the both of us and the nutty things we get ourselves into; guess I'm not that big of a fucking prick like some people I know."
"For the last time, I'm not married!"
Sasuke wasn't someone who liked repeating himself so having to constantly tell the over emotional blonde that he wasn't married was making him insane. And the taunting from Naruto didn't help matters either.
"My father, for the past couple months has been pushing this debutant on me, telling people that we are getting married but we are not. We are not getting married, not now nor in the future are we tying the knot." Sasuke was also not someone that need to explain anything to anyone, but to keep the peace with Naruto he forced himself to open his mouth and tell the boy while he held his hands out to him, who was on the tree branch slightly higher up and across from him.
Naruto raised his brows at the hands that Sasuke held out to him.
"Okay…maybe what you are saying is true and maybe I could have overreacted after that girl calling said she was your wife, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm pissed at you. So whatever the hell that is," Naruto waved to Sasuke's hands that were still stretched out towards him, "you can take it and shove it up your ass."
Naruto knew for a fact that Sasuke wasn't married. He had already discovered that little piece of information the day he had run out on the stoic uppity rich boy he had left whimpering on the floor holding his abused junk. He had run into Hinata on his mad dash to get to the gardens wrapped up only in a sheet.
Naruto would have loved to say that it had been embarrassing for the girl, and him as well, to see him in his birthday suit since it was very windy that day, and he hadn't really taken the time to secure the sheet around his body….but sadly Hinata had seen him in much more shameful circumstances with the old woman so seeing him only in the master's bed linins wasn't a first.
Hinata, the kind and loving friend that she was, had cleared the air regarding the young Uchiha and his marital status once she got him to tell her why he was so angry. She had told him that Sasuke wasn't married, never been married and while his father was pressuring him, Sasuke wasn't obligated to do anything his father ordered him to do….Naruto knew all of this, but he still attacked Sasuke about it the moment he saw him.
The comments about Mikoto…that might have been a little too much, but just looking at Sasuke's handsome face had pissed him off. And before he knew it, the mama cheap shots and other comments popped right out of his mouth.
Sasuke lowered his hands. "It's been two days. Where have you been? I've had my people searching the buildings from top to bottom, the gardens, everywhere. I know you can't leave the property but for the life of me I couldn't find you. Wanna tell me where you were?"
Naruto pulled another pinecone from the pillowcase and threw it up in the air, catching it and repeating his actions.
"Around."
As in, he had been in his secret room that was connected to Mikoto's room. The only people that knew how to get in his room were Hinata, he, and Mikoto. It was pretty safe to say Mikoto wouldn't be ratting him out.
His anger was stemmed from two days of not being able to communicate with the Kyuubi. No matter what Naruto tried to do, all he heard was silence from his one and only true friend, and it was deafening. The more frustrated he got, the angrier he became. Thinking about that, Naruto narrowed his blue eyes at the person that took the Nine-Tail from him and hocked another pinecone at his duck-billed head.
Sasuke growled when he dodged the cone that accurately would have hit him in the face.
"Stop now, or else," threatened Sasuke.
"Or else what?" Naruto taunted. "Are you going to call your wife and cry to her? Or are you going to find the next closest person that I care about and take them away from me too?"
Sasuke frowned. "Is this what this is all about? Me trapping that demon in you so it would stop interfering with us?" Sasuke laughed. "This whole temper tantrum is about that, isn't it?"
Naruto glowered at Sasuke. "I know you're not laughing at me. This isn't some small issue for me!" Naruto threw the whole pillowcase at Sasuke. "The Nine-Tail has been with me my whole life! You had no right to take him away from me!"
Fed up, Sasuke leaped onto the branch the blonde was on. "It was a necessary step, and one I had to make on the fly. It wasn't meant to hurt you or make you feel alienated." Sasuke slowly, one foot in front of the other, made his way across the limb to Naruto.
The more Sasuke yapped, the more Naruto felt like smashing his face in. The way the brunette talked to him made him feel…like he was being spoken to as if he was a chick!
Naruto was so angry he was shaking.
"…."
Sasuke paused in his stalking of the blonde. He was close enough that he could see that Naruto's eyes weren't the beautiful deep sapphire blue he loved… They were more the color his eyes got when he was using his Sharingan minus the pinwheels. Blood red irises, with feline slits of that of a cat…or a fox.
"Naruto," Sasuke carefully, cloyingly, called out, "This whole thing can easily be undone."
Not that Sasuke had any intention of doing so any time soon. The damn demon had made it very clear in its actions when ever it was around him, that it hated him and would love if he just disappeared. Sasuke wasn't about to let the damn thing free, just so it could cause interference between their already rocky relationship. But he could see that he needed to calm the enraged blonde down, could see the demon rise up from within Naruto the longer he left him to shimmer, and that was the last thing Sasuke wanted.
Shaking his head Naruto glared at Sasuke, his vision almost seeming to paint everything around him red in his rage.
Sasuke watched as the whisker scars on Naruto's cheeks become more pronounce, the nails on his fingers become sharper and more claw-like, and the curious hisses escaping from the boy's lips. Not the mention the threatening warnings showed glimpses of fangs.
Naruto had never felt the kind of anger he was feeling now, even when his parents and fellow villagers abused him. The amount of rage he felt was irrational, and he even knew what he was feeling was going overboard. But he couldn't stop it.
The anger burned. It hurt, but within that pain, he thought he felt the comforting caress of the Kyuubi. So he held on to that rage, shutting out the voice of reason that whispered for him to let his anger go.
Sasuke froze for a split second when he saw the red almost evil— Chakra begin to engulf Naruto, and acting on instinct, he rushed the blonde. The power that emanated from Naruto was something he couldn't hide, something that was too strong for even his brother Itachi to cover up, and Sasuke knew that if he didn't snap the boy out of whatever it was that was bringing the power of the Nine-Tail out in him… Then the predators he was trying to protect Naruto from would be on them in a heartbeat.
Tackling Naruto, Sasuke tried to twist his body as they fell, the ground coming quickly towards them while trying to also keep a firm grip on the blonde. Not to mention also protect his face as Naruto lashed out at him, who growling inhumanly at him.
The forest floor proved to be just as hard as it looked, and Sasuke's hold on Naruto slipped when the breath was knocked out of him. It was just what the boy needed to gain the upper hand. Sasuke barely had a chance to suck in a lung full of air before Naruto attacked him.
An out-of-body experience; that was it felt like he was having. Naruto could see himself go all Norman Bates from the movie Psycho on Sasuke. Not normal behavior for him. And the red glowing bubbly stuff, that was something one would seriously go and see a doctor about.
But it was the connection he finally felt after trying so hard, a brittle link to his friend.
'Naru…'
The rage that had submerged Naruto wavered when he heard his name…and with it the fragile tie between the old fox and him. Distressed, Naruto tried to hold onto the fury that had united them…but in a flash it was gone leaving Naruto to wonder if he had really heard the Kyuubi's voice in his head at all or if…he had imagined it all.
As if jolted back into his body, Naruto looked down at Sasuke, and quickly closed his eyes when he saw the three black tear drops in the raven's dangerously glaring red eyes. Before his eyes had closed, Naruto had seen deep scratches on Sasuke's chest, through what was left of his shredded white shirt that was also stained with blood.
"Woops," said Naruto with a little laugh. "Ma bad."
"Your bad?" Sasuke growled.
Every bone in his body had felt like it had been about to break from the unbelievable pressure of the demon's power pressing down on him. Sasuke had been helpless to do anything because to retaliate would have meant he would have to harm the blonde, seriously hurt the boy with the amount of power he would have had to use to just keep the Nail-Tail from kicking his ass.
"Ow!" Naruto cried out as Sasuke flipped him onto his back and landed on top of him.
"If you think I'm going to take it lying on my back, you're dead wrong! I said I was sorry, damn it!" Naruto may have lost the ability to change into the small compact form of the Kyuubi, as well as the inhuman strength for the time being, but hell if he was going to get treated like some kept bitch, some poor little hoe that Sasuke could push around.
Sasuke hissed with the blonde's knuckles grazed the side of his face in a fighter's caress.
"Damn it! Stop fighting me!" Sasuke yelled and captured Naruto's wrists and slamming them to the muddy ground. "I've got enough wounds from you already!"
"Then get off of me!" Naruto shouted, as he struggled to get out from under the overgrown brute.
Wiggling his body between Naruto's thrashing legs, Sasuke slammed his mouth over the blonde's in a fierce kiss, slanting his mouth over his and didn't lessen his assault until he felt Naruto's body become placid under his.
"Are you calm now?" whispered Sasuke, rocking his hips into the blonde, letting Naruto feel his need.
"Yea, I'm fine…" Naruto whispered back, his eyes glued to Sasuke's lips, "doesn't change the fact that I want you to get off of me though."
"Are you sure?" Sasuke grinned, grinding his hips.
Naruto gasped in pain. "Yes I'm freak'n sure! I got a big ass rock digging into my back! What is it with you tackling me into the dirt? Get off."
Sasuke grunted when the agile blonde lifted his legs, moaned for a pleasurable second, and placed his feet up, under them, onto his chest and shoved him off to send him flying back.
"Dickhead," muttered Naruto as he groaned, sitting up and tried to rub the spot in the middle of his back. "I got leaves in my hair," Naruto grumbled.
Sasuke stood and dusted his pants. "I landed on my back from almost two stories up, got my face almost beaten in and barely stopped you from clawing my heart out of my chest."
Naruto glared at Sasuke. "As I said "ma bad", what do you want? Me to kiss it and make it all better?"
"Yes, I do." Sasuke grinned.
"Let me ask your wife first, to get her approval before I do that." Naruto huffed as he too stood up.
"I told you I'm not married!" The wife comments were seriously pissing Sasuke off. He didn't want anyone thinking that he was getting married; and not to someone that his father, of all people, chose for him.
Naruto already knew that Sasuke wasn't married, but as powerless as he was in his present situation, it was the only thing he could really say to get under Sasuke's skin…that and the mama stuff.
"So you say," Naruto sneered. "Why should I believe you? Not when you've proven to be a little shit? I tell you what. You let me go and by doing so showing me I can trust you and than I'll believe you."
Sasuke didn't even have to think before flat out denying Naruto. His mother might have had purely selfish reasons why she kept Naruto by her side –and he wasn't denying that he did too— but he also was thinking about the blonde and his safety by locking him to his side as well.
Naruto's hands fisted at his side when he heard the clear "No" that Sasuke uttered loud and clear.
I need to get away from him to clear my head, thought Naruto, turning his back on the larger boy.
"Where do you think you're going?" Sasuke asked when Naruto began to walk away.
"Leaving, but because of you I won't be going too far away," Naruto grumbled.
With just a few quick steps, Sasuke grabbed Naruto, and once again they both went tumbling back on the forest floor. Naruto began to struggle, the sound of his shirt ripping in their fight for dominance.
"Get off me, damn you!" Naruto shouted for the umpteenth time, but this time he was on his knees with Sasuke behind him, holding one of his arms behind his back. He was getting pretty sick and tired of getting overpowered by the raven haired bastard.
"N-Naruto-kun?"
"Sasuke!"
Both Sasuke and Naruto's heads snapped up to the female voices that called out their names.
Naruto could just imagine what Hinata, who was standing slightly behind a pretty pink haired girl, was thinking. They were hidden fairly well so the girls probably –well, depending on when they showed up— probably heard the both of them grunting and groaning and considering the positions they were in….well, even if someone didn't have a dirty mind, they couldn't help but think of what they might have been doing.
"Naruto-kun, you're bleeding!"
Instead of reassuring Hinata, Naruto looked at the pink haired girl and the jealous rage shining in her light green eyes, and did the first thing that came to his mind.
He began to 'cry'.
TBC….
