Summary:
Kinda AU-ish because of Human!Kurama. Otherwise Naruto-verse.
Different occasions of Kurama's not-so-normal daily-life.
KuraSaku
Kurama POV
"'Nother round!" I yelled and held up my already empty cup. Sakura looked a bit worried at me.
"You shouldn't drink so much, Kurama-san." She smiled weakly and sighed as I shrugged at her.
"Ah Sakura-chan, I can hold my liquor." I laughed and heard her sigh yet again, a habit she shared with the Uchiha.
Naruto joined me and we laughed together until the bar-maid poured some more sake into all of our cups.
"Loosen up Sakura-chan, not even the Teme is that stiff." Naruro laughed at his own joke and then looked at the Uchiha, giving him a grin. I lightly shook my head, the Uchiha wasn't really my most dear person. Just his character was something that could easily set me off, but I had my biggest problem with his strong arrogance. Everyone around him knew of his affection for Sakura, excluding her.
"Don't get me into this dobe, I didn't even want to come." Sasuke didn't sound as unhappy as seemingly wanted, his gaze lingering on Sakura.
"But you still came." Teased Sakura him, not noticing that the Uchiha was still looking her over thoroughly. I let my head hang down and drank a bit, relishing the feeling of the warm liquid in my throat.
My orange ears flattened against my head, the noise of Naruto's and Sasuke's arguing was getting louder and more mannoying by the second.
"They behave like kids, don't they?" My ears perked up as I heard the happy voice of the team's medic.
"Atleast you understand." I said and lifted my cup in a greeting fashion. She stood up and took the free seat to my right, as far away from Naruto and Sasuke as possible.
"How have you been, Kurama-san?" Her voice was a melody against the loud voice of the blonde idiot and his ebony haired friend, their beloved cherryblossom proved to be a good company. She was a nice girl, a good fighter, an excellent medic and one of few ninja's that wasn't constantly annoying me.
"Good I guess, but my new class is horrible." I used my right hand to comp through my orange hair, smoothing the few flaws in it around my ears.
At the thought of the new class I had to teach, my tail began swishing and trashing around a little. Sakura noticed this and scratched this magical spot behind my left ear after she drank the rest of her sake. She was probably the only one who even knew of this spot, she found it a while ago when she was my medic on a mission. Surely she never told anyone, but that doesn't mean that she wouldn't use if for her advantage when she wanted something from me.
We actualky got along pretty well, devil knows why.
Sadly, Sakura let her hand fall down to her side again, as soon as she saw that I had calmed down.
"You're a great teacher, I can tell." Her short laugh brought a smile on my face, before I hid it behind my cup of sake.
It was a while ago, but I had trained the little cherryblossom in a few aspects, that probably led to our good comeradedship. I never thought much about it, but out of all the ninjas I had worked with until then, the young Haruno was one of my favorites. We honestly weren't the most efficient team, but we worked well and got along.
"And if I have any problems, I'll just see you during the break, I know Sakura-chan." Another smile lit her face up, her green eyes gleaming with happiness.
Sakura was a teacher at the academy, too, atleast while she wasn't working in the hospital, had any missions or wasn't working for this lame excuse of a Hokage.
She was seroiusly overworking herself, but that wasn't my problem.
"You can handle a bunch of kids, I mean, you can handle Naruto." We both laughed and I had to nod at Sakura, she was right, no amount of little kids could make as much chaos as Naruto.
Kurama POV
Konoha was known far and wide for its hot Summer and I was probably one of the few people to actually enjoy the heat waves.
Sure, missions would be a bit harder, there was the risk for me to go into heat but that made it just more enjoyable to watch the single woman out there in their bathing suits or the poor excuses of 'em at that.
Not that I actually needed to stare, there were enough girls that would flock around me - anytime of the year.
But none of these women actually tempted me, the one that hadmy interest was already kinda taken, well, not really, it. was just that the boy who wanted her was secretely scaring away every man that wanted to talk to her.
Sakura Haruno was one hell of a woman, the only flaw she had was her team-mate Sasuke Uchiha that do strongly wanted to get into her pants.
Currently, Naruto, the Uchiha and Sakura were accompanying me at the beach. They asked me and I accepted, I couldn't miss a chance to make my advances on my dear cherry.
"Ugh, it's sooooo hot~" Complained the yellow-haired brat with a heavy sigh as we set up our stuff on the beach. We spread our towels on the warm sand, put down our bags and sat down in the shadow of a big tree looming over us.
"Don't complain all the time, Naruto-kun. It's nice to have such a good weather." Commented Sakura and gave Naruto a smile.
I looked over to the blue water and licked my lips, seeing a group of women splashing each other with water, jumping atround happily. But I pushed the thoughts aside that gathered in my head and instead took off my plain red shirt, laying down on my towel to rest a while, arms crossed behind my head.
"Have you been training with Kiba and Akamaru again, Kurama?" I looked up and found Sakura's emerald orbs looking at a few scars and bitemarks on my body. The unusual feeling of goosebumps on my arm came to me when Sakura traced the rim of an old, long scar near my heart.
"Yes, that boy just doesn't know who to respect." I lightly shook my head at the thought and Sakura seemed to do do, too. With a smile grazing her lips, she stood up and took off her shorts along her shirt, revealing a nice classic wine-red bikini. My eyes trailed over her delicious figure, from her perky breasts to her flat stomach and her endless legs. My tongue once again glided over my lips and I suddenly felt myself falling into heat. Fuck. Despite my now raging feelings for the young woman in front of me, I held back, I had to beat around the bush before jumping the object of my dreams.
"Let's get into the water!" Exclaimed Sakura happily and tried to pull me and Sasuke along with one arm each, Naruto stood beside her and laughed. The Uchiha brat grunted and got up, closely followed by me. Sakura giggled and took off to the water but I didn't waste anytime and ran up to her, grabbed her bridal-style and sprinted into the water. While I heard Sakura's amused complaints I could easily detect the Uchiha's flaring chakra, he was seemingly not as happy as the hot woman in my arms. I knew I shouldn't mess with him, but I did it anyway.
So I turned around, water splashing aroumd my knees and stared the young man a gew meters in front of me.
"Little Boy, jealous of what you can't have?" And without waiting for an angry answer, I turned around yet again snd walked further inzo the water, once deep enough I let go of Sakura gently. The blush on her face was dark red, clearly glowing against her pale skin.
"You didn't mean that, you only teased Sasuke-kun, didn't you?" I guess she knew the answer as soon as I put my right on her waist and pulled her to me, closing the little gap between us.
Due to the unreadable but still embarassed look she gave me, I nodded, hopefully making my intentions clear. I think she got the message.
"A-Ano, Kurama, I don't really know what to say..." She let the sentence hang in the air around us and I gave her a sly smirk.
"Then don't say anything, little cherryblossom." Her skin was littered with goosebumps while I made small circle-ish motions with my fingers on her waist. Her head fell on my shoulder and I shivered while her breath fanned my neck. My left hand travelled to her back and stayed there, my right hand stopped the ministrations but I kept it on thr creamy skin of her waist.
"I'm not this easy to get, you know?" Her voice was low and muffled into my shoulder but I enjoyed the feeling of her soft lips barely touching my shoulder and her hands against my chest. I arched a brow, even though Sakura couldn't see it, but before I could ask her what she wanted me to do, she already slipped through my arms, completely dove into the water and swam away to my right where she vanished in the waves.
"That's Sakura-chan!" Laughed Naruto beside me and put a hand on my shoulder. I smirked as I looked at him, I saw Sasuke sitting on his towel on the beach, most likely sulking.
"But I'll get her, just watch me." Naruto laughed some more, shook his head with a grin and then went off to god-knows-where.
I looked around, trying to find the remarkable pink hair somewhere in the water. After I lightly turned to my right, I saw her, most of her lucious body above the water, she was trying to catch her breath. My instincts called and I made my way to her, sneaking around a few people that cooled down in the water, not minidng me a bit.
Sakura didn't seem to notice me and I was only a few meters behind her, so I readied myself to pounce her. I had my ears flatten against the top of my head, not wanting to get to much water in them. My tail would have surely swished in a rush of happiness, hadn't it been already, literally soaked to the bone because of the water.
"Tch, Kurama, you're underestimating me." Said Sakura as she turned to me and smiled. Her emerald eyes gleamed and I clearly noticed her winking at me before she once again vanished beneath the waters surface.
"Damn!" I was angry that she caught me, she was right, I really thought she wasn't going to notice me. But now I had to find her, this was about my pride, damn it!
Third Person POV
"Don't you think he's gonna notice?" asked Naruto, amusement clear in his voice. Sakura smiled and shrugged, taking another icecube from the cooling back.
"Maybe, who knows." She said and pressed her lips to the small icecube that was already starting to melt in her hand. Naruto shrugged too and let go of the matter, concetrating on Kurama again, that was still diving around in the water, searching for the object of his desires.
Sasuke sighed and shook his head, not a bit happy with what was happening.
"Sakura, you can't be serious, this man is dangerous." His voice was laced with anger, his feelings of jealousy only fueled by Sakura's ministrations on the now small piece of ice between her lips. Sakura turned to him and discarded the icecube to give her friend a piece of her mind.
"I can't stand this Sasuke, you've been scaring away every man I could possibly like and Kurama is the first man that isn't afraid of you. And just because he stays in my presence you just talk bad about him? I can handle my life alone, thank you." And with these words she stood up and went into the water, called Kurama and ran to him.
"I think you messed it up, Sasuke." Said Naruto to his best friend. Sasuke was deeply angered, took his stuff and stoof up.
"Shut up, dobe." Then he turned around and walked away, leaving Naruto to watch his retreating back. He sighed and laid down on his yellow towel, closing his eyes to rest from the unnerving events.
"There you are, I couldn't find you!" Called the slightly worried Kurama. Sakura flashed him a smile and walked close to him again. Kurama embraced her and relished the feeling of her body against his. He snaked his arms around her waist, a place he though to be perfect for it. Sakura put his arms around him and pressed her head to his chest and listened to the calm beating of his heart.
"Sasuke doesn't like you." She whispered and closed her eyes. Kurama put his chin on the head of the girl in his arms and smelled at her hair, instantly knowing that her apple and cherry laced scent would burn itself into his head.
"Hm, I know. Does it bother you?" He whispered but knew she had heard him, he felt her nodding against his chest.
Sakura felt safe in Kurama's arms and slowly calmed, already ruing that she snapped at Sasuke, even though she still thought that she was right.
"He was only worried about me and I snapped at him." Kurama could hear in her voice that she was really sad about what happened. He let his right hand move up and down her small back in a comforting manner.
"If he knows you he'll understand." He was happy to feel Sakura nod again.
They stayed a while in their embrace until he loosened it to look at her.
"May I treat you to a meal?" He asked hopeful, yearning an answer from the woman in front of him. Sakura looked up with a smile, her gaze lost in his red eyes.
"As long as it's not ramen." She giggled and Kurama joined her with a laugh, then slining an arm around her shoulder, leading her out of the water.
"I wouldn't dream of it."
