Naruto is developing these strange 'instincts'. How does Sasuke feel that they're directed only at him? Naruto struggles with his feelings to keep the bond he has with Sasuke in tact as Sasuke struggles with his own feelings for Naruto…and his ducky pajamas?! CITRUS SasuNaru

Ahh…a new story… I love Naruto…this series makes me happy. Hmm…some background here; Yes this plot has been used COUNTLESS times in Naruto stories, but there are a lot of twists, turns, craziness and humor in this. It's not going to be completely angsty and dark like most of them are. Also, these are Naruto's own feelings, amplified. It's not kyuusasu by any means. (PS. To those of you who are utterly pissed at me for not updating other stories….Forgive me for I have turned to the Naruto side for the moment .;)

Uchiha Sasuke woke up at 5 am one morning to the delightful chirping of the birds…well delightful wasn't really a word he would use to describe it. Naruto had kept them training until 2 am last night and the birds could just go to fucking hell! He stood up, pulling on his raven bangs making a very uncharacteristic face that showed his almighty irritation and was about to bash his head against the wall when he heard a pounding at his door. A…visitor? Who the fuck would want to come to his house at 5 fucking am!

"Oi! Bastard! Open up!" Sasuke felt the vein in his temple begin to throb. Oh that's right…Uzumaki Naruto. "Sasuke-teme! Open the door before I bust it down!" He felt the familiar twitching of his eye. He put on his best, signature Uchiha scowl and walked out of his room across his house to the front door, flinging it open.

"What do you want Dobe?!" He all but screamed. The pounding was starting to give him a headache and he wondered again why he even associated with this idiot! Naruto stood there clad in a tight black tee-shirt that hugged his toned chest and orange cargo pants, rubbing the back of his head grinning like a fool and holding up a bag that held a pink box.

"Happy birthday teme!" Sasuke blinked, his scowl threatening to burn a hole into Naruto's figure.

"…Excuse me?" Naruto squinted his eyes, looking at him skeptically.

"Don't tell me you forgot your own birthday!" Sasuke felt himself blush…wait….Uchihas didn't blush dammit!! He glared down at the floor, anger slowly seeping through every pore of his body. He supposed…..it was July 23'd….and that was the day he remembered his parents telling him he was born. But so what?! Dammit he hadn't celebrated a birthday in a year, how was he supposed to remember!



"Goddammit Usuratonkachi! I don't care. Leave me alone!" He was about to close the door but Naruto pushed himself in. The blonde kyuubi-wielder stared at the large interior in awe.

"Damn! This is where you live, teme?!" Sasuke gritted his teeth. Stupid…stupid Naruto!

"Get…out..of my house…Dobe!" Naruto turned his head and grinned.

"Nope! I'm here to celebrate your birthday with ya!"

"Nobody asked you to! I didn't say you could come in so basically you're breaking and entering! Now get out!" Sasuke glared down, his bangs shadowing his eyes. Naruto grinned wider and stuck out his tongue.

"Nyah nyah! Can't catch me, Teme!" With that, the chase begun. Naruto and Sasuke toppled over expensive furniture, tripping over rugs and coffee tables. Naruto somehow managing to stay just out of the raven's reach. Sasuke was getting more and more annoyed by the second. Naruto sprinted into the kitchen, setting the gift on the counter quickly and dodged a swipe from Sasuke, running around the dining room.

"Ne! Teme you should move out of here you know? It's too big for just one man! It ain't good to live alone," Naruto headed into the den jumping straight through the traditional paper door, knocking over more furniture. Sasuke mumbled curses something like 'Dobe…house wrecking!'

"Hn! Like you should…talk!" Sasuke said this while swiping, their chase redirecting back into the entry hall. Naruto faltered in speed, not responding but Sasuke took this chance and tackled him to the floor. Naruto struggled, but Sasuke pinned his arms over his head. Naruto whined, thrashing back and forth. His black T-shirt slightly ripped from where Sasuke grabbed him, revealing some of his sun-kissed skin

"Naaah! Sasukeeeeee, let me go!" Sasuke smirked.

"Say; 'Sasuke's the most awesome, powerful Shinobi in the history of Konoha,'" Naruto groaned.

"Never!" Sasuke gripped his hands tighter, leaning closer, glaring at the blonde dangerously.

"Say it…" his breath tickled Naruto's ear, sending shivers down the blonde's body.

"S-Sasuke's the most awesome, powerful Shinobi in the history of Konoha…" Sasuke chuckled.

"Hn…Now say. 'Sasuke is the sexiest man on the planet,'

"Fuck you!"

"You wish," Naruto struggled harder.

"Neeee! Sasuke-teme. Let me goooo," He whined, pouting up at Sasuke innocently. Sasuke wondered when he became such a sadist…. Having complete control over Naruto like this felt amazing.

"Not until you say it…" Sasuke looked directly into Naruto's eyes, enjoying the sharp intake of breath from the boy underneath him. Naruto's eyelids lowered, his teeth bared.



"N-No…" Sasuke pressed harder into Naruto's body, crushing the blonde's legs. Naruto yelled in pain. He glared at the man above him, wanting to punch his face in.

"Ugh….sasukesthesexiestmanontheplanet…" Sasuke smirked, cocking his eyebrow slightly.

"What was that? I couldn't hear it," Naruto growled.

"Aargh! Sasuke-bastard's the sexiest asshole on the planet! Dammit! Let me go now!" Sasuke released him, allowing Naruto to stand up, rubbing his wrists. Sasuke got up, the smirk not leaving his features. Naruto glared at him through squinted eyes, but Sasuke felt utterly victorious. "…asshole,"

"I love you too. Now are you gonna leave me be?" Naruto smiled, his eyes shining. Sasuke wondered why Naruto was so fucking happy all the time. It wasn't like he had any family. Why did stupid things always make him smile like that? Damn stupid Naruto…

"Hehe! I didn't come all the way over here for nothing, Teme!" He headed to large the kitchen, ignoring Sasuke's protests. The blonde went to the granite counter where the present was and leaned against it, a goofy grin gracing his features. "Well…open it!" Sasuke scowled, pushing back the prospect that it could possibly be a prank…and went to the package, opening it slowly. He lifted the lid and blinked when he saw what looked like a lumpy, melted snow person…holding on to it's last few seconds of life. Sasuke scrunched up his nose.

"You abducted a snowman…?" Naruto twitched, baring his teeth.

"Che! It's an ice cream cake you asshole! I made it myself, dattebayo!" Sasuke looked from the thing in the box, to Naruto, and then back to the cake. He couldn't help but to burst out laughing. Naruto growled. "Arhg! Dammit what's so funny!?" Sasuke doubled over, clutching his ribs. He gasped, trying to catch his breath.

"Y-you…You call that a cake?!" Sasuke pointed to the cake. Naruto twitched, looking into the box. The blonde paled slightly, sweat forming on his temple. He grinned nervously. Perhaps stopping at the ramen shop on the way here wasn't such a good idea.

"…. Ehehe….well it was an ice cream cake! Here…" Naruto poked around at it for a few moments and Sasuke looked as well. Naruto moved all the chocolate pieces to form what read "Happy Birthday Sasuke!" Sasuke was still laughing. Naruto tensed, but then started to chuckle as well…

"Hn…so, despite it's appearance…is it edible?" Naruto brightened up.

"Of course! It only melted a lot…it should taste fine," Sasuke looked at him skeptically. He didn't really like sweet things, but he supposed trying Naruto's cake wouldn't hurt…. Okay, okay it could possibly hurt but nevertheless, he pulled a fork from a drawer and poked a piece from it's mushy structure. He sniffed it, and after not smelling anything foul, he put it in his mouth.



He was expecting something horribly sweet and syrupy, but instead the taste was lightly sweet but more bitter. Sasuke's eyes widened, surprised. It was actually pretty good. Naruto looked at him with anticipation.

"So? How is it dattebayo?!" Sasuke chewed, closing his eyes.

"Hn…" Naruto smiled.

"I knew you'd like it!" Sasuke twitched, wondering what went on up in that blonde head of his…he was sure that "Hn" wasn't anywhere close to "I like it," "I hardly used any sugar you know? The only sweetness is in the vanilla ice cream. Iruka-sensei taught me how to make the frosting,"

"Why'd you make it that way?" Sasuke inquired, taking another bite. Naruto blinked, then looked away.

"Well I know you don't like sweet stuff very much…so I…" Naruto rubbed his head, laughing. "Well anyways. I also came here to warn you right?"

"Hn…"

"Well I met up with Sakura-chan earlier this morning. She couldn't stop talking about how today was the day she'd give you the 'Best present Ever!" She said this while picking out a new outfit…and by the looks of it, it doesn't contain that much fabric…" Sasuke paled. That crazy girl was still at the fangirl thing? Wouldn't she realize that Sasuke…just wasn't interested?

"…..Oh joy" He said mechanically, feeling bile rise up into his throat.

"Yeah yeah…Sasuke I just don't get you. The hottest girl ever wants nothing more than to be yours, yet you turn her down. What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes!" Sasuke sighed. Obviously Naruto didn't understand.

"Look…I can't stand girls like her. Idol worship is not becoming…especially when you're the object of their desire. It's suffocating and creepy," He took another bite with his fork. "I'm a reserved type of person… Invasion of my personal space doesn't hold well with me…" Naruto smiled sheepishly.

"Yeah I guess you're right, teme. Sakura-chan is kind of overbearing isn't she?" Sasuke snorted. Understatement of the year. Naruto chuckled, resting his chin on his hand. "I suppose even I don't like her as much as I used to…" Sasuke shifted his gaze to the side as he took another bite of the cake, noticing that Naruto was looking off into the distance. His face was smiling warmly.

"You don't want to date her anymore?" He asked, quietly.

"Not really…I suppose she isn't my type to be honest… I liked her in ninja school because she was cute…that strange pink hair and her striking green eyes. She's a good friend…but I can't see myself being with her for the rest of my life…you know?" Naruto turned to meet Sasuke's gaze. Sasuke swallowed his piece of cake and looked away, scowling. How did he fall into such a comfortable conversation with the dobe?



"I…couldn't see you dating her…" Naruto chuckled. His foxy gaze turned and he smirked.

"What? You wanna date me instead, teme?" Sasuke smirked back.

"In your dreams, dobe," Naruto turned so that he was leaning back against the counter, stretching, his shirt riding up slightly, revealing his golden, rippling muscular body.

"Oh come on, you can't tell me you don't want a piece of this!" Naruto winked, grinning. Sasuke snorted, turning back to lean on the counter. Naruto had grown up into, even Sasuke had to admit, a very attractive man. At 18, he seemed to be already forming his own creepy fanclub.

"I'd rather eat shit…" Naruto pouted.

"Neee, Sasuke-teme, that wasn't nice!" Sasuke sighed, twirling one of his bangs around his finger.

"What, are you gonna cry about it now? Please, spare me," The raven smirked. Teasing Naruto had quickly become one of his favorite past-times. Naruto always delivered with the most adorable pouti-….Sasuke shook his head. Adorable…? When had he ever started using that word to describe the dobe?

Naruto was about to retort until they heard a faint knocking on the door in the entry hall. Sasuke looked up, feeling the color leaving his complexion.

"That couldn't be…" He froze when he heard a shrill female voice echoing through the living room.

"SAAAAAAAAAAAAAASUKEEE KUUUUUUUNNN!" Sasuke involuntarily tensed, gripping the counter, his eyes going as wide as saucers. Naruto twitched and looked over to Sasuke, noticing his friend's turmoil.

"Come on Sasuke!" Naruto grabbed his hand and turned to the window, opening it. "We'll go out the back ne?" Sasuke was about to protest but kept his mouth shut, thinking that escaping with Naruto would be hundreds of times better than dealing with Sakura's out of control hormones…

They jumped out the window and landed softly on the ground. Being a ninja was useful in more ways than one. They sprinted across the gardens and into the forest behind Sasuke's house.

"We'll take the long way through the forest. That way Sakura won't be able to find us right away you know,"

"Yeah, well let go of my hand already, dobe…" Naruto blinked and quickly let go. He felt his face heat up. He…didn't mean to hold his hand for that long.

"Uh..sorry," Sasuke rolled his eyes and they proceeded to run through the forest. They ran around, weaving through thick trees and bushes for what seemed like a good fifteen minutes. Naruto stopped when they got to the other side at a clear river that went upstream. It flowed calmly as they caught their breath. The blonde put his hands on his hips.

"I say we stay here for a bit, just to make sure she's away,"



"Why are you going through all this trouble…I could have avoided her on my own you know…" Naruto turned his head and grinned.

"Well I'm your best friend, I want to spend time with you on your birthday right?"

"Hn…" Naruto blinked and looked at Sasuke's shirt.

"Oh…mud," Naruto pointed to a small patch of mud and dirt that was caked onto the bottom of Sasuke's white sleeping shirt. Sasuke looked down and grimaced.

"Yuck…" Sasuke pushed past Naruto to the river mumbling curses and lifted his shirt over his head, revealing his pale skin and defined back. Naruto tried not to stare but his skin practically glowed in the sunlight. His raven hair feathered softly against his neck and shoulders.

Sasuke's hair had grown out a bit longer. Naruto never noticed before, but without his clothes you could plainly see. Naruto couldn't help but be jealous that Sasuke had grown up so beautifully…he had to have been the most gorgeous male he'd ever seen.

Not…that he was attracted or anything. No… Naruto was straight. Straight as they come, most definitely. He was a master in the perverted ninjutsu for god's sake! His whole life he'd been trying his hardest to win Sakura-chan's heart…even though he did fail miserably. But as Sasuke bent over to clean off the mud, Naruto couldn't help but stare at his slender, yet muscular form. How did that bastard manage to pull off girly and manly at the same time?!

He looked away, trying everything he had in him not to blush. Something wasn't right….he couldn't be attracted to Sasuke… Sasuke was his best friend, rival, and a man. It just didn't work that way! But the heat in his stomach wasn't going away as the moments dragged on. Sasuke had noticed that he had mud on his pants as well as the shirt and proceeded to take them off in addition. Naruto felt his heart start to race. This was bad…this was very bad! He could feel the heat spreading throughout his whole body. Perhaps he was running a fever?

No…he didn't feel sick at all. His body was just…bursting into unbearable heat! Naruto groaned and fell to his knees. He could see tiny dots appearing in his vision. He felt as though he were about to burst. Sasuke turned around. His eyes widened a bit and after putting his clothes back on, he ran over dropping to his knees.

"Oi, dobe! What's wrong?"

"……hot.." Naruto managed to squeak out. The blonde curled up and gripped the grass beneath him. Sasuke looked confused and placed his hand on Naruto's skin. Naruto growled and he pulled away in shock.

"You're…burning up. Hold on…" Sasuke went back to the riverside and dipped his shirt into the cool water. After thoroughly soaking it he ran back to Naruto's side and turned him over, wiping his face with 

the cloth. Naruto opened his eyes and purred when he felt the cloth, his body temperature dropping slightly. He looked up at Sasuke with his cerulean eyes and felt his breath hitch.

Sasuke's face was contorted in frustration and worry. Naruto's heart thumped hard against his chest and his breath started to go ragged. He felt all the heat that was previously coursing through his body enter his groin.

Sasuke noticed the sudden change in Naruto's behavior. His breathing was irregular. "Hey…Naruto,"

"S…Sas…'ske," Naruto groaned a low rumble in his chest that greatly resembled a purr. Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows.

"Wh..What?" Naruto's eyes were half lidded and...his lips were parted slightly. The blonde reached up and tangled his fingers into Sasuke's dark locks. Sasuke tensed, starting to feel nervous. What was this strange behavior Naruto was displaying? Suddenly he was pulled on top of the other. Sasuke felt his face get hot when Naruto started nuzzling against his neck.

"Nn…Sasuke…" Sasuke felt nothing but horror when he felt Naruto's arms snake around his back, gripping onto his neck, hips grinding slightly against his own… something hard pressing against his thigh. This was…no way! He ripped away from Naruto's grip, feeling his skin tearing before noticing that Naruto looked different. The six scars on his cheeks were more prominent and longer, his fingernails sharper, but the most noticeable change was that his pupils had turned from black circles to cat-like slits.

"Sasuke…" He said lowly. Sasuke stood up, confusion in his face. What was happening to Naruto? Why did his appearance change….and why was he…

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, looking down at the now very noticeable erection growing in-between Naruto's orange-clad legs. Naruto licked his lips, looking up at Sasuke with lust-filled eyes.

"Sasukee" he whined, squirming impatiently. Sasuke looked away. There was no way Naruto could be horny like this so suddenly without a good reason. Naruto especially wouldn't be lusting over him! That was completely absurd. He had to do something… This wasn't correct. Naruto was acting like a bitch in heat…

Wait…could this have something to do with the kyuubi? His eyes did change slightly…even though they weren't red. He had to get to the hag. This wasn't right at all. He looked at Naruto who was now crawling to him, whining slightly. Sasuke twitched, looking away. For some reason his head was starting to cloud. He couldn't concentrate.

"No…get away from me, Usuratonkachi," Naruto growled at the name. and scratched at Sasuke's leg, ripping the fabric of his pajama pants, drawing blood. Sasuke winced and kicked the blonde hard in the ribs. Naruto yelled out but got up to his feet, balling his fists, teeth bared. Sasuke smirked. "What? First you try to molest me, and now you want to fight me? Bipolar much?" Naruto narrowed his eyes and charged at the raven. Sasuke dodged just in time. He darted away from Naruto's oncoming blows. Sasuke's eyes widened when he felt an ominous chakra emitting from Naruto's form. His sharingan 

activated and he could immediately see the red swirls of chakra wisped around the blonde. It seemed this was the kyuubi's power, but it wasn't very strong. Naruto's normal blue still dominated.

Sasuke knew it would get bad if Naruto tapped in to anymore of the fox demon's power. Sasuke may have been strong, but he knew that fighting the power of the kyuubi head on would be a dangerous bet. He would have to quickly lure Naruto out of this forest. He gritted his teeth and took off, staying just within range of Naruto, trying to keep Naruto's interest.

"Hey dobe, what's got you so flustered today?" Sasuke said, turning around and sprinting backwards, looking into Naruto's piercing blue eyes, hoping that they wouldn't turn red. Naruto growled and swiped at him, missing. Sasuke chuckled. "Try to catch me if you can, dobe. Perhaps I'll take pity on you if you do," Sasuke picked up speed, Naruto mimicking him.

Once they reached the clearing, Naruto skidded to a halt, growling. Sasuke cursed Naruto for being a slightly intelligent being. Naruto glared at him and smirked, turning back into the forest. Sasuke cursed. He could just leave Naruto there…but he knew that that probably wouldn't sit well with hokage baa-chan. He sighed and went back in, glaring at the disappearing blur of orange that could only be Naruto.

"Oi! Dobe!" Sasuke said, catching up to the blonde. Naruto smirked and picked up speed, staying out of Sasuke's reach. They're roles were reversed now. Naruto was the one luring Sasuke. Sasuke didn't have a choice. Despite being a bastard, he couldn't let Naruto stay in here and get his stupid self hurt. They were friends after all.

Sasuke felt his senses start to cloud again as Naruto fell back and sped up again, repeating the process all over. They weaved through the tree branches. It were as though he were playing with Sasuke. He could feel his anger rising and all he wanted was to catch this stupid idiot!

"Argh! You fucking idiot! Get your stupid ass back here so I can beat it!" Naruto looked over his shoulder and smirked, his eyes now red. Sasuke narrowed his eyes and sped up. He reached out and grabbed Naruto's shirt, sending the blonde and himself tumbling to the ground. Naruto groaned and Sasuke crawled on top of him. Naruto thrashed around, tearing at Sasuke's shirt. Blood was drawn but Sasuke couldn't feel it. His mind was hazy and all he could see were those red eyes.

Naruto growled dangerously, digging his fingers into Sasuke's face. Sasuke glared at him, sweat dripping down his nose. He felt the body beneath him shiver. He thought that perhaps Naruto was trying to escape with his squirming, but then he felt that hardness again. Sasuke felt his own breath go ragged. Stupid Naruto… Sasuke squinted his eyes. Naruto's scent filtrated his senses, the thrashing causing his body to shiver. He could hardly even notice Naruto's constant assaults of the claws ripping his skin open.

The dangerous red chakra wrapped around him. His own chakra started to seep through his pores. They glared at each other. Sasuke ground his hips painfully against Naruto's, causing the blonde to scream, digging his claws deeper into Sasuke's back. Sasuke growled, repeating the action. Soon Naruto was groaning, his face contorting in lust and pleasure. All Sasuke could feel was his need to push Naruto farther. He wanted to see what this was all about…



Sasuke thrust his hips harder, spreading Naruto's legs. The blonde groaned deeply, his cock getting harder by the second. Sasuke felt himself becoming aroused as well.

"S-Sasuke….uhhnN!" Sasuke growled. His cock throbbed hard in his pants and all he knew is that he wanted release.

"Is this what…uhn…you wanted….?" He said, gritting his teeth. Naruto yelled.

"Uhnn…Sasuke!" Naruto pulled the raven close and nuzzled into his neck, biting him. Sasuke groaned and thrust his clothed arousal harder into Naruto's. He felt hot wetness that wasn't from Naruto's mouth running down Naruto's face. He pulled back and could see tears forming. Naruto opened his eyes, and Sasuke could see that they had turned blue again. Sasuke's breath hitched and suddenly he was groaning and whining just like Naruto. He undid Naruto's pants and pulled them down, revealing the hard, weeping erection of his friend. Sasuke pulled his own pj pants down and ground hard against Naruto, erections both slick with pre-come.

It wasn't long before the boys were both nearing their completion. Naruto cried Sasuke's name and Sasuke gripped hard onto Naruto's shoulder. Their bodies shuddered and they came together so forcefully that one would think their bodies would break.

Sasuke collapsed onto Naruto, both boys panting. After a few minutes, Sasuke's mind started to clear up and he realized that there was quite a large mess everywhere now. Sasuke got up, looking down at Naruto's body that was covered in Sasuke's own fluids; cum and blood alike. Sasuke winced realizing how much all the gashes hurt now.

He looked at Naruto's face that was now contorted in what seemed to be shame. His eyes were no longer slits and his whiskers were back to normal now. Sasuke pulled up his pants sat himself next to Naruto, looking away.

"I'm sorry…" Naruto said, his voice raspy.

"Why…"

"I'm not sure… Suddenly my body was out of my control…"

"Fuck Naruto….you went psychotic….Was it the Kyuubi?" Naruto sat up too, looking away.

"I think…" Sasuke sighed and then winced when he tried to stretch. Naruto looked up worriedly and scrambled over to Sasuke, examining the wounds he knew were inflicted by him.

"Gods…Sasuke…" Sasuke smirked.

"I've had worse, dobe. But that's still not changing that it happened. I think you should talk to Tsunade-hag about this…" Naruto nodded. Sasuke was right... Tsunade would definitely take it calmly…

--



"WHAT?!" Tsunade jumped up gripping the desk, her knuckles white and face livid. Sasuke put a finger to his temple in irritation. Did she have to scream so loudly?

"Look you old hag, We came here asking you the questions. We don't know why Naruto got so…" Sasuke hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "…worked up. We were hoping you'd have some answers for us," The godaime sighed, sitting back down. She wove her fingers together.

"Okay," she started. " from what you told me, Naruto got…extremely hot and…aroused," Both boys simultaneously looked away, blushing. Tsunade gave them a questioning look at their odd behavior, but continued anyways. "Sasuke-kun said that during this time, Naruto had tapped into the Kyuubi's chakra. Is that correct?" They nodded, not looking at her. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Did…something else happen that you haven't told me?"

Naruto almost fell out of his chair and Sasuke put his hand over his face to cover his blush. Tsunade twitched, the vein in her forehead throbbing dangerously.

"Answer truthfully now, or both of you will be demoted back to Genin status!" Sasuke and Naruto gulped, sweat forming on their brows. Sasuke looked at Naruto nervously. Naruto nodded. The raven took a deep breath.

"Naruto had…insisted over and over again that I touch him and well…..after I tried to lure him out of the forest, he…I…" Sasuke felt his face get hot and he looked away. He remembered how his senses had gotten so hazy, how he couldn't control his actions… "…he turned around and I chased him back into the forest and when caught him I don't know what was going on with me…I couldn't stop myself I…"

"You fucked him?!" Sasuke looked up at her in horror, feeling violated by her words.

"NO!...I mean well….we didn't…go all the way…." Sasuke gripped his chair, his face about to start on fire. He looked at Naruto who looked as red as he felt. Tsunade almost chuckled at how embarrassed the two boys were.

"Naruto, were you conscious of this?" Naruto nodded, looking away.

"Okay. Well I think I know what's going on. Naruto as of late is this the only urge you've experienced so far?" Naruto nodded.

"Wh..What is it?"

"Expect it to happen again. I believe this is what some would call "an animal's heat." Usually boys your age will want to have sex. It's natural. But…since you host the kyuubi, come puberty, you've started feeling the kyuubi's mating instincts. It's a natural occurrence for any junchuuriki. Your urges are probably going to be ten times as harsh as a normal person's," Naruto nodded, fumbling with a pencil nearby.

"But…you said it would most likely happen again….What am I supposed to do?" Tsunade furrowed her brow.



"Well…. This is where it becomes complicated. You host the kyuubi no kitsune. Demon foxes are remarkably particular when choosing their mates. I believe that being the junchuuriki, you will have acquired this trait too. I can only believe that Sasuke-kun is the only person you will allow to touch you during this delicate time. Subconsciously you have chosen him as your mate," Naruto twitched and then growled. He pointed at Sasuke angrily.

"No way! I would never chose this bastard as my m-mate! That's crazy! He's a guy!" Tsunade sighed, leaning back in her chair.

"When it comes to mating, foxes predominantly choose the familiar they believe are the most compatible and trust the most. Can you truthfully say you don't trust Sasuke with your life?" Naruto paled and started stuttering.

"Th-That has nothing to do with it. Look Tsunade-hag; I trust you in your judgment but I swear you're mistaken here. I don't like Sasuke like that! We're just friends…friends!!"

"Well I don't like it either gaki! Sasuke is the last person I want to be you're one and only!" Sasuke sat up, angry for being ignored.

"Oi! I'm still here, you know! And even if that was true, what makes you think I would even agree to this ridiculous situation! I know for a fact that I don't like Naruto like that! Today was just a moment of madness on my part. It won't be happening again!" Naruto stared at him blankly. Tsunade sighed, straightening her papers.

"Ah well…Perhaps it was just a one time thing…" Both of them nodded. "Well anyways. Sasuke I would like you to keep a close eye on Naruto. If something like this happens again, please contact me immediately. Naruto, it's against my better judgment, but if you get any urges AT ALL, please visit the red light district. If it happens to the point where you cannot control it, I would like you to call Sasuke," Sasuke was about to retort before Tsunade cut him off. "This does not mean to have Sasuke take care of your problem. I would just like him to restrain you and then come see me," Naruto nodded and after talking for a few more minutes, they left. Both boys relieved that they didn't have to listen to her scolding tone of voice anymore.

"Stupid old hag," Said the blonde kicking the side of a building, only to hop away holding his now painful foot. Sasuke grunted at Naruto's idiocy and continued walking. They stopped, or rather Naruto stopped when they spotted Ichiraku's. His face widening into a stupid grin he grabbed Sasuke's arm. "Ne ne! Let's get some ramen!" Before Sasuke could respond, he was being pulled into the direction of the modest stand.

"You know, you're going to die if you eat nothing but ramen for breakfast, lunch and dinner," Naruto grinned as they got closer.

"Heh! It's my favorite food! I can't help but love it at every hour of the day. If I died eating ramen, I couldn't be happier at the thought of dying by eating too much ramen!" Sasuke sighed, his own stomach 

growling at the delicious smell of noodles. He hadn't eaten anything but cake that day. The prospect of food was the only thing allowing him to be dragged along like a rag doll.

--

Naruto plopped onto a stool, Sasuke sitting next to him. Naruto gripped the counter and grinned.

"Oyaji! Ne ne! How about some chicken ramen for your best customer!?" The shop owner smiled.

"Maa, it's been a couple of days since you've been here, Naruto-kun. One would think that with the salary of a jounin you could afford to come here 24/7 ne?" Naruto chuckled.

"Yes, well, been really busy on missions and such. Don't really have time to just sit down and have some ramen like the old days," The old man chuckled, wiping a bowl.

"Still not hokage yet I take it?" Naruto pouted.

"Someday, Oyaji. Right teme?" Sasuke smirked.

"As if an idiot like yourself could ever become Hokage," Naruto turned to him, glaring.

"Yeah well, not like you could ever become Hokage either!"

"Tch, I'd make a better hokage than you any day, Usuratonkachi," Naruto bared his teeth, balling his fists tightly.

"Is that a challenge, teme?!" Sasuke smirked, resting his chin on his hands. Toying with Naruto was always so fun.

When the food arrived, Sasuke broke his chopsticks apart and then glanced at Naruto.

The idiot was grinning stupidly as he inhaled his ramen. Looking at Naruto in his black T-shirt and orange cargo pants, Sasuke realized that he was still in his own, now ripped up PJ's. Nevertheless, he pushed down his irritation and ate his meal.

He thought back to when they were in the forest. Why had he lost control like that? It just seemed so improbable that Naruto could arouse him so badly to the point where he would throw away all of his previous inhibitions and give into pure pleasure like that…

Sasuke shivered. To be turned on by Naruto…..well that was just….eww.

Naruto turned his head, catching the disgusted glare Sasuke was sporting. He cocked his eyebrow. "Something wrong, teme?" Sasuke jumped out of his thoughts and looked at Naruto blandly.

"Uh…no, nothing," The blonde looked at him skeptically, raising a brow.

"…Uh-huh…" The whole time they ate, Naruto was picking on Sasuke for wearing ducky pajama pants. Sasuke didn't even realize it until Naruto pointed it out.



"They're so cute Sasuke teme, you never told me you liked ducks!" Sasuke scowled, ready to chuck his empty ramen bowl at the dobe's head.

"Shut up! I didn't see those when I bought them, dobe," Sasuke wondered why he even needed to justify himself to this idiot. It was a sign of weakness…but even he had to admit that the duckies looked ridiculous. He cursed himself for not going home to change his ripped up clothes before visiting Tsunade.

"Ehehe! It goes well with that duck butt hair you got!"

Suddenly there was a presence behind them.

"Hello Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun," Sasuke and Naruto both turned to find themselves looking into black, coal eyes that could mimic Sasuke's. They boy had short black hair and wore a black, mid-riff shirt, complimented by a mesh shirt underneath and low cut ninja pants. He wore an odd, yet attractive smile. Naruto grinned.

"Hey Sai!" He said cheerfully. Sasuke rolled his eyes, scowling. This was the man that replaced him in Team 7 during the time he had been with Orochimaru and Hibe. For some, unknown reason, he harbored a slight resentment for the ANBU member. Sai smiled and took a seat next to Sasuke, smiling.

"Good to see you, Sasuke-kun. Naruto said that it was your birthday today. 18, what a wonderful age," It wasn't a question, thus it didn't require an answer. Sasuke continued to scowl into his empty ramen bowl. This guy always pissed him off. He refused to acknowledge the Shinobi next to him. Sai chuckled. "Quiet as always, then,"

"Oi, teme! Don't be such an ass,"

"Shut up, Dobe," Sasuke spat.

"I'm impressed Naruto," Both boys turned to Sai who, in turn, smiled. "One could definitely be envious that you are the only one Sasuke-kun acknowledges right?" Naruto blinked and when the statement processed he blushed.

"Uh….that's not…" Sasuke glared. This guy really knew how to piss the raven off.

"But, it's strange though…I was sure Sasuke wouldn't be the type to like guys with miniscule penises…" Naruto's face went redder than the ripest tomato. He gripped the bar and glared.

"….Sai…" he said in warning. The ANBU Shinobi giggled and stood up.

"Maa, I suppose I should be going. It's getting late you know. You two have fun okay?" Sai bowed and then, after saying goodbye to the shop owner, turned away. He paused and then turned his head to Sasuke, grinning. "Oh, and Sasuke-kun, I just love those pajamas. Could those be little duckies?" If looks could kill, Sai would be ripped to pieces. Sasuke stood up about to turn the analogy to reality before Naruto grabbed his shoulder.



"Just leave it, teme. You know how he is," They watched as Sai left. Sasuke making a note to really harm him if he came back. He scolded himself for allowing Naruto to control him so easily, but he justified it with the thought that Sai just wasn't worth his time.

"Hn. Well he's right about one thing; It's late. We should be getting home too," Naruto's eyes widened a bit. He had been having so much fun with Sasuke that he didn't even realize the time. He scratched his blonde head nervously.

"Ah…that's right," Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out some money, putting it on the surface. Sasuke held out his hand before the shop owner took it..

"I can pay for my own…" Naruto smiled.

"Baka. What kind of friend would I be if I let you pay for your own dinner on your birthday right?" Sasuke's eyes flashed and he cursed his heart for beating a bit faster. Naruto always remembered his birthday, but he never went so out of his way to make it special. Sasuke thought, if it were anybody else, it would have been annoying.

"…Dobe," Naruto grinned.

"I knew you'd say that,"

"Hn," The blonde chuckled.

"That too,"
