For This Moment

Chapter One

-Naruto-

The warm spring wind blew through the forest, making the leaves above us rustle softly and the birds call out noisily, but it was the cold chill and unwelcome scent it brought with it that woke me. I growled and began to move away from my companion's warmth, but his soft whine stopped me. I grinned and curled my body around his smaller frame, burying my nose into his soft ebony hair and inhaling his deep earthy scent. His small pale arms encircled my waist, pressing warm skin against me and nuzzling my chest affectionately. "Do you smell them?" I whispered.

He nodded and stretched against me. "I don't recognize the scent with them though." He growled, preferring not to talk in the language of the humans. He nuzzled me again and sighed. "I just wish they would go away. I want to sleep."

"That's all you ever want to do Sasuke." He nipped at my collarbone playfully before settling back into a comfortable position. I smiled and squeezed him tighter. We stayed that way, wrapped in each others arms and warmth until the sun was high overhead. I'm sure we could have laid there until dusk, but the loud sound of bodies crashing through the brush had us on our feet in an instant. We tore through the forest, skin bursting apart roughly, jaws, limbs and spines elongating, fur sprouting forth and covering our bodies instantly. We were on all fours in seconds, running faster than any bird could fly.

"Fucking parasites!" Sasuke snarled from behind me.

"Always so cranky when your sleep is ruined." I barked out a laugh.

He snapped his powerful jaw at my hind legs. "You can't tell me you weren't annoyed as well Naruto."

"At least I don't get all snappy about it." He snapped at me again, catching my tail with his sharp teeth. I yelped and hopped away from him. We ran in silence after that, our pounding feet and silver necklaces slapping against our chests were the only sounds around us. The air that filled my lungs was pure and crisp, I reveled in the sweet joy of pushing and pulling it in and out of my lungs and the breath taking taste it left in my mouth. For me there is no greater joy than running through this forest we call home at full speed. My stomach growled and Sasuke barked his laugh as we came to a slow trot.

He sat down gracefully when we stopped, folding his front paws and laying his head on them. He looked up at me with his deep onyx eyes and sighed. "What now?"

I gave him a toothy grin, pulling my eyes from the herd of deer fifty yards away. "Well, I could mount you and we could have wild, crazy wolf sex." He snorted and rolled his eyes.

"You wish."

"Oh how I do," I laughed lightly and gazed at the deer. "but right now my hunger out weighs my lust for you."

"I think I should be offended." I laughed again as he stood and joined me in assessing our potential meal. It didn't take us long to pick out our choices amongst the grazing mammals. We split up, circling around them. I ventured out into the field first, my golden fur making it easier for me to hide in the dying grass. When I got as close as I could without spooking them, I flicked my tail up and the sleek black wolf burst through the trees across the field, forcing the herd to run towards me. The buck I wanted didn't realize his mistake until it was too late. I jumped and caught his hind leg in my mouth, dragging him back to me. He kicked and managed to escape just as Sasuke caught him by the throat. A sickening crack made me cringe and the deer lay on the ground, still jerking around even in death.

Sasuke let out a condescending snort and headed back to the smaller doe that lay a couple yards away. "You'd seriously die of hunger if I wasn't here."

"You'd die of loneliness if I wasn't here." He snorted and rolled his eyes, digging into his meal. I laughed and followed suit.

-Sasuke-

He's right of course. If it were not for him I would've died of loneliness long ago. The packs of wolves we've come across do not accept us. Neither did the humans. Truthfully, it seemed as if the humans did accept me somewhat, but they shunned my blond companion on sight. He wanted me to stay with them. He thought I'd be happy with them. I wasn't. As soon as he disappeared into the forest pain shot though me, physical and spiritual pain that twisted deep within me. The howl that made the towns people pause told me Naruto felt it as well. I ran into the forest and into his arms. We have never tried to part from one another again and I abandoned everything human because of those that turned my Naruto away.

We have always been together. Always. Ever since we awoke in these woods, so many seasons ago, covered in blood, holding hands and no memory of who we are or where we came from. The only clue we have are the silver necklaces around our necks. Naruto and Sasuke. We don't know if these are our actual names, but we claimed them as our own.

We have lived in these woods for so long. Generations of wolves and animals come and go. Saplings growing into tall, strong trees. The young girl Naruto liked to talk to has grown up and had children who have had children, but we stay the same. Hidden in this forest, far from those horrid murderers known as humans. Unfortunately, in the recent seasons, hunters and nature enthusiasts have spotted us in our human form playing with a packs pups or talking with a packs elders. Naruto's human showed us a paper with our picture and a title that read "Feral Boys: Fact or tourist ploy?"

Since then, more hunters and 'scientists' have come in search of us. They give up fairly quickly and leave before the season changes. It has been a while since any came at all, but it seems as if they're back. I recall the scent from this afternoon and sneer, ripping off a chunk of fresh meat from the dead doe in front of me. The warm meat soothed my anger and I relaxed into the simple act of sedating my hunger.

I finished before him and worked on cleaning my bloody paws. Naruto joined me in seconds, leaving his muzzle covered in blood while he licked mine clean. A whine escaped my throat and he snickered, biting my ear softly. "You so want me." He growled out. I snapped at his feet, but he bounded out of the way and smiled at me, tail high in the air, head close to the ground. I just snorted and headed for my favorite stream. "Hey!" He yelped then ran to catch up with me and bumped his head against my shoulder affectionately. "So where we goin' sexy?"

I sighed. " That stream we found a few days ago."

"Ah, fun fun. Are we goin' fishin'?" He yipped happily.

"Do you ever think about anything other than food?"

"You don't even wanna know." He barked and took off full speed towards the mountains, shaggy golden pelt glowing in the sunlight. I chuckled lightly and ran after him. He stopped and watched me approach, giant pink tongue hanging out of his giant snout. He yipped again, licked my nose and started running once more. I smiled as I ran behind him.

If we weren't brothers, I think I'd be very much in danger of falling in love with him.

Tell me what you think. Kakashi and Gaara are next.
