A Rare Breed

Author's Note: This is a YAOI story with a twist. The pairing is Sasuke x Naruto and they are both werewolves in this story. It will also contain Mpreg. If any of that bothers you, you might want to turn back now. I'm also slowly going back over this work and adding scene breaks. So if you see some chapters with them and others without them, that's why. For those of you still here, I hope you enjoy the story and reviews are always appreciated.

Chapter 1

Sasuke Uchiha was a werewolf. A werewolf who was free at last! He had finally managed to escape from Oto Pack. The pack that had kidnapped him when he was just a pup because of what he was.

"Damn it. I know that the border has to be somewhere around here. I can smell the water. The stream has to be nearby." He pants as he continues running.

He wasn't just any werewolf. Sasuke was an Uchiha. They were an extremely rare breed. Perhaps one or two werewolves out of thousand were Uchihas in the modern era. They had literally almost been loved to death.

The black wolf pants as he sides begin to ache from exertion. He had been pushing his body to its physical limits for at least two, maybe three days. Sasuke had lost count.

"AFTER HIM! HE'S ESCAPED!" The young wolf hears Orochimaru's voice bellow out.

If he wasn't an Uchiha, Sasuke probably would have collapsed from exhaustion long before now. Uchihas amongst other things were endurance runners. They were blessed with speed and stamina.

That didn't stop him from yipping in pain each time his paws hit the cold snow underneath him. The pads of his paws were bleeding. He could tell this from the scent of his own blood and because he was now leaving a trail of bloody paw prints behind him.

"YES, SIR!" Some Betas from the Oto Pack cry out in unison as they pursue the Uchiha.

He glances back over his shoulder and winces. He counted at least five, maybe six wolves that were chasing him. There were likely more that were laying in wait to ambush him. Orochimaru wasn't going to let him escape that easily.

"Sasuke, get back here. You are making things a lot harder on yourself than they have to be." Kabuto calls out to him.

Oh how the young Uchiha hated that gray furred wolf. It was that revulsion that gave him strength to press on. With that in mind, Sasuke focuses on pouring every ounce of energy he had into his body. He was willing himself to go faster! He had to escape!

"I'm not going back!" Sasuke snarls back at Kabuto.

Suddenly, he found himself wishing that he had made a run after sunset. Like most Uchihas he possessed beautiful dark fur. Sasuke's ranged from raven black to rich midnight blue, depending on the light. It would have made for perfect camouflage, if only the Sun wasn't shining so brightly over the formerly pristine white snow.

The slightly older wolf was a Beta. He was Orochimaru's favorite Beta and in Sasuke's mind, the very definition of a lapdog. The man had no pride.

Orochimaru could do no wrong, in Kabuto's mind. Nevermind the sick experiments that the elder werewolf would run on his own kind. Kabuto would still follow him around like a lost puppy, with stars in his eyes.

"The bloody prints on the snow, say otherwise. Sasuke, you are at your limit. Just give up. I can treat your injuries." Kabuto says.

The bastard probably thought that he was being kind. Kabuto likely believed that he was doing Sasuke a favor. That he would patch the Uchiha up and take him home. That it was an honor to have caught the eye of the Oto Alpha.

The very thought of Mating with the older wolf made Sasuke want to vomit. He loathed him. Orochmaru had kidnapped him when he was a pup to raise him to be the perfect Mate. He was the reason why the Uchiha hadn't seen his family in years.

"Never! I'd rather die than go back!" Sasuke snarls at the other man once more as he continues running.

There was a very good reason why Orochimaru had wanted an Uchiha Mate so badly. Uchihas were special, particularly the males. Male Uchihas could get pregnant and their pups were exceptional.

Their pups tended to have the lowest infant morality rates of all the werewolf breeds. Unfortunately, Uchiha males tended to have small litters. It was probably nature's way of balancing out the advantages that the Uchiha offspring were blessed with.

"Oh yeah? Be careful, boys. You don't want to rough him up too badly. He has such a pretty face. Orochimaru wouldn't be happy with us, if we messed it up. I think it's time that we taught this pup a lesson though. Don't ya think?" Another Sound Wolf says to Sasuke's pursuers.

Sasuke didn't know his name. He had never bothered to learn it. He was an Alpha Wolf, but was content to let Orochimaru run the show. Orochimaru might be older, but he fought dirty and everyone knew it. It was a rare wolf who challenged him and lived to tell the tale.

"You're really brave when you have half a pack facing off against one wolf." Sasuke snaps at the Alpha.

"Oh there you go again. You think you are better than me because you have a pedigree, Uchiha? You aren't!" The white furred wolf says as he angrily pursues Sasuke.

He managed to lunge at the Uchiha and pin him to the ground. Normally, this would have meant it was all over. Once you were on the ground, you either submitted or you died.

Sasuke was definitely not going to submit though. He was going to become a free wolf or die trying! He sinks his mighty jaws down around the other wolf's muzzle. He was going to get the fuck off of him or suffocate!

"AHHH!" He snarls in pain as he pulls away from Sasuke.

"Jiro!" Kabuto calls out in a panic, once he realized what happened.

Sasuke smirks. It was satisfying to see his attacker suffer. His fangs had torn into his the other wolf badly. The scent of blood now hung heavily in the air. It wasn't a fatal wound, but it was a painful one.

Unfortunately, Sasuke was still outnumbered. A fact that he was soon painfully reminded of when three of the other wolves rush towards him and slam him into the ground. A flurry of fangs, claws, and fur was seen rolling around in the snow.

"Get away from me!" Sasuke hisses at one of them while snapping his mighty jaws at them menacingly.

"Not going to happen, Uchiha. You're coming with us and that's that." A brown wolf snarls at him and sinks his fangs into the fur that surrounded Sasuke's left hip bone.

Sasuke howls in pain. Luckily, the fangs didn't crush bone. They had only sunken through fur and muscle. Still he could feel himself bleeding and the pain was enormous.

"Just come back with us. Kabuto can still patch you up. Don't be stupid." A female wolf says as she lunges at him, intent on delivering a knockout blow.

Sasuke was strong, fast, and agile. He was also weak from hunger and exhausted from his long journey. For two or three days, he hadn't stopped to eat, drink, or rest at all. The Uchiha knew that he was running on pure adrenaline and had been for awhile. These wolves weren't.

Orochimaru had wolves stationed throughout his territory. Wherever Sasuke went, there were bound to be Sound Wolves lying in wait for him. Just waiting to pounce and drag him back. Realistically, he knew that today was likely the day he was going to die.


Meanwhile Naruto and some members of his pack were out hunting, near the border. There was a small stream that separated the southern border of Konoha Territory and Oto Territory. It was generally agreed that either pack could use the water for drinking or bathing, but you could only hunt on your side.

"I think I saw a deer dart over this way." Kiba insists and Naruto nods in agreement.

Oto was Japanese for Sound. The Oto Pack was run by a Japanese American werewolf named Orochimaru. They were rivals with Konoha. The two packs were always competing against each other for prey, water, the best den locations, and other things. To put it simply, the two packs hated each other.

"We're getting pretty close to Oto Territory though." Naruto observes with more than a little concern.

"Naruto, do you smell that?" Gaara asks.

Gaara was a red furred werewolf. He was quite well known for his handsome red fur and stoic demeanor. He was very much a no nonsense type of wolf.

The red head was an Alpha, but had agreed not to challenge Naruto for the position as long as he and his siblings could become part of the pack. The blonde had agreed and gotten an excellent right pawed man out of the deal. Ever since then, the Sabaku Siblings had been part of the Konoha Pack.

"Yeah. I do. Blood. There are also a lot of Sound Wolves nearby. Everyone be on your guard. Maybe they cornered a Konoha Wolf." Naruot says as the hunters follow the scent of blood.

That's when Naruto and the other wolves from his pack saw it. A bunch of Oto Wolves were ganging up on a black furred wolf. He was fighting back though. Naruto winced when he saw all the red colored paw prints on the snow. Blood.

The blonde said he because the wolf was too large to be a female. Well it was very rare for a she-wolf to get that size anyway. Either way, it was obvious what was going on.

"Naruto, should we lend him a helping paw?" Gaara asks.

"Yeah. I think so. I don't care what he did. That's not a fair fight." Naruto agrees as the Konoha Wolves streak over the small stream that separated the territories.

It was the dead of winter. That meant the stream was frozen over. It was an easy matter to cross over it, as long as you watched your step. The ice could be slippery.

"Be careful! It's pretty slippery!" Kiba calls out as he makes his way to the other side.


Orochimaru had finally caught up with the wolves that were pursuing Sasuke. That's when he saw a familiar golden furred wolf and several others cross the border. Damn it.

He had only known two wolves in his life with fur that color. Minato and Naruto. Both were Konoha Alphas. Though it was Minato's pup that led the other pack these days.

"Stay out of this, Naruto. This is not your fight. He is a Sound Wolf and this none of your concern." Orochimaru snarls at the other Alpha.

"Oh yeah? Well looks to me like you are leading a pack of cowards. How many is that? Five? Ten against one? You need that many wolves to kill him?" The blue eyed wolf snarls at him.

Sasuke slowly rises to his feet. It was painful. His hip, sides, and paws ached, but he could stand. He had to stand. It was a miracle that this other pack had shown up when they did. The Uchiha knew that if he went down again, he wouldn't be able to get up.

"It is none of your concern and I would never kill him. He's my Mate. Well he's going to be my Mate anyway. He's still a bit young. I have yet to Mark him, but I will." Orochimaru replies.

Naruto bites back a snarl at that proclamation. Well that explained everything. No wonder the other wolf had been attacked. He was likely trying to escape from such a horrific fate. Who could really blame the guy?

"That's funny because where I'm standing, it looks like he's trying damn hard to get away from you. I can't blame the wolf. You're psychotic. If this is how you treat someone who you want to Mate, it's a damn good thing you prefer males and can't have pups. God only knows, what'd you do to them!" Naruto seethes.


Kiba darts over to the injured wolf. It was a miracle he was still standing. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the other wolf. Just the thought of Orochimaru touching him, made him want to vomit and he wasn't even the target of the Alpha's "affections."

"Hey, can you walk?" He whispers to Sasuke.

"Yeah. I can walk." The dark furred wolf whispers back and Kiba eyes him skeptically.

He admired the wolf's spirit, but Kiba wasn't entirely sure that he was telling the truth. The brown furred wolf could see in the foreign wolf's eyes that he wanted to be telling the truth. He was determined to get out of there.

"Alright. We'll try. If you can't walk, I want you to turn back and you can ride on my back." Kiba informs him.

Sauske nods. He couldn't believe that the Konoha Wolves appeared to be trying to rescue him, but he wasn't going to argue. He follows the brown wolf across the stream.

That's when Orochimaru noticed that Sasuke was making the crossing and howled with rage. He takes off after the other wolf and soon tackles him to the ground.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Kiba growls as he tries to help Sasuke, but it was no use.

If he got into the middle of that fight, he might hit the stray. The stray was on his last legs. Kiba wasn't entirely certain that he would survive a hit.

"I'm going to kill you!" Sasuke seethes at Orochimaru as they roll on the ice.

Each wolf was desperately trying to gain the upper hand. Orochimaru had every advantage over the injured and exhausted, younger wolf. In Sasuke's mind though, he was fighting for his life. That gave him the energy to fight on.

Snarls and howls of pain were heard from each of them, as they bit and scratched at each other. Their jaws and claws tearing into one another. The scent of blood was growing stronger by the minute.

"GET OFF OF HIM! HE DOESN'T WANT YOU!" Naruto howls as he slams his entire body into Orochimaru's side.

The elder wolf had managed to pin Sasuke and had been leaning into Mark the other, when Naruto made his move. Orochimaru went flying back a couple feet and all the wolves from both packs stared at the scene in shock.

It was at that point that Gaara released a howl that signified the Konoha Wolves should get to the other side of the stream. Somehow two of the wolves manage to carry Sasuke's battered body over to the other side and the Konoha Wolves make the crossing. At that moment, Gaara jumped onto the frozen stream with his full weight and quickly darted over to his pack mates before the ice cracked.

Orochimaru was still trying to find his footing on the slippery ice after Naruto slammed into him. That's when the ice cracked and he yipped as he fell into the ice cold water. His pack members rushed to help there leaders and the Konoha Wolves took off.

"HELP! HELP!" Orochimaru cries out to the other Oto Wolves, who were trying to drag him out of the water and onto the bits of ice that hadn't been broken yet.

"Is he going to be okay?" Naruto asks Lee and Kiba.

Lee and Kiba were both now trying to help the black furred wolf get back to their den. Unfortunately, the foreign wolf was stumbling and still bleeding profusely from his paws. It was clear that he was fighting just to stand, let alone walk. Naruto was positive that it was only sheer force of will keeping him going. Realizing that the other werewolf was struggling, he bounds off towards the front of the pack to make sure that the path was clear for him.

"I don't know. It's pretty bad. Hey, what's your name?" Kiba asks.

"S-Sasuke." He says through gritted teeth as he tries to power through the pain.

"Right. Well Sasuke, your paws are pretty banged up. It's not a good idea for you to try to run on them anymore. So stop. Orochimaru fell into the stream. That should slow him down for awhile. If you change back into your human form, one of us can just carry you." Kiba says.

Sasuke stops running, but he frowns at the suggestion to change into his human form. He'd be vulnerable around this many other wolves. They had helped him. He'd always be grateful for that. Once they realized he was an Uchiha though, there was not telling what they might do.

"I really am sorry about this." Gaara says as he walks up behind Sasuke and pinches a nerve in his neck that knocked the Uchiha out instantly.

The red head sighs and catches the wolf before he hit the ground. He gently places him on the ground and the hunters watch as he slowly shifts to his human form automatically.

It was a trait that all werewolves had evolved. Whenever they went unconscious, they would revert to human form. It was one of the many ways that werewolves had avoided being detected by most humans for so long.

"Oh God. How is he even alive?" Sakura asks in horror as she runs over to Sasuke.

"I have no idea. He does seem to possess a rather strong will to live. We need to get him back to the cabin immediately. He'll die of exposure otherwise." Gaara says.

"Alright. Lee, you're our fastest runner. I need you to get him back home as fast as you can." Naruto says.

Lee nods. He shifts to his human form and immediately takes Sasuke into his arms. The bushy browed man frowns as he takes in the full extent of Sasuke's injuries. Sakura was right to be horrified. It was amazing that the wolf was still alive.

"I'll do it! The power of youth will save the day!" Lee says as he streaks off with the Uchiha in his arms.

"One of these days, someone has to explain to me what he's always babbling on about." Gaara says with a sigh.

"I don't think we really want to know." Temari says and the other two Sabaku Siblings nod in agreement.


A short while later, the Konoha Wolves were in their cabin. They lived in a cabin because they were Blenders. Blenders were one of the subtypes of wolves.

In the modern era, there were essentially three kinds of wolves. They were Ancestral Wolves, Blender Wolves, and Modern Wolves. Ancestral Wolves lived almost exclusively in their wolf form and almost never made contact with humans. They rarely used human technology and lived in the wild. Modern Wolves were wolves that lived with humans. They rarely shifted into their animal forms and led basically normal human lives. Finally, there were the Blenders who existed between those two extremes.

"He's from the Oto Pack. He's probably an Ancestral Wolf." Kiba says.

Blenders tended to interact with humans, but preferred the company of other werewolves. They spent about an equal amount of time in their human and wolf forms. They usually held down human jobs and generally hunted because they preferred a natural diet and for fun. In contrast, Ancestral Wolves hunted for survival and Modern Wolves rarely hunted.

"Who is probably an Ancestral Wolf?" Minato asks as he comes into the living room in his human form.

Sasuke was laying on the couch that was conveniently close to the fireplace. Lee had suggested that might help him get warm faster. While Sasuke was "sleeping," Sakura was tending to his injuries. She and everyone else had shifted into their human forms the moment that they enter the cabin.

"Hey, dad. It's a long story." Naruto says sheepishly.

"Well I have all the time in the world. What is going on and who is that? What on Earth happened to him?!" Minato asks when he sees that the young man was badly injured.

"Oto Wolves. It seems that Orochimaru wanted to force Mate him. He tried to escape and he was chased. We managed to save him." Gaara explains.

Naruto blinks. He really had to admire Gaara's ability to summarize. It was impressive.

"I see. Well everyone out. Everyone that isn't Naruto or Sakura, please leave. This is Alpha Business and Sakura will stay to provide medical care. Dinner is on the table." He says and the other werewolves quickly race towards the kitchen, easily lured away by the promise of food.

"We have to at least patch him up first. There's no telling what Orochimaru did to him and it's not like he's in any shape to fight us, even if he turns out to be aggressive." Naruto says quickly.

Minato shakes his head. He wasn't cruel enough to send off a half dead wolf in the middle of winter. He was confused though. Why would Orochimaru want to take a male lover?

"It's alright, Naruto. He can stay. At the very least, he can stay until he's recovered from his injuries. I have to wonder though. Gaara said that Orochimaru intended to force Mate him, but this wolf is clearly male." Minato observes.

Homosexuality was accepted and even encouraged to a certain extent in werewolf culture. After all, realistically a pack could only have so many pups before it became a problem. Most Alphas though would choose a Mate of the opposite gender to have pups.

If they preferred males but were a Blender or Modern Wolf, they might use surrogates or artificial insemination to have pups. Ancestral Wolves were generally out of luck though. They would usually suck it up and breed at least once to continue their bloodline.

"Yeah. I thought that was kinda weird myself. Poor guy. Can you imagine having THAT try to force Mate you?" Naruto asks as he shudders in revulsion.

"Yes, it's obvious that he's been through a great deal." Minato agrees.

"It might be a good idea to bind his hands and feet together. When he wakes up, he might not know where he is. He's more likely to hurt himself than others in this state, but still." Sakura says.

Minato nods and hands some rope for his feet and cuffs for his hands. He didn't like doing it, but she was right. If he woke up and was disorientated, it could end badly.

"Alright. That should do it. What he needs most now is rest. I've sprayed disinfectant, cleaned, and bandaged his wounds. The bleeding seems to have stopped for now. I'm going to go get something to eat." The pink haired wolf says.

"Yes, of course. Thank you, Sakura. I think I'll do the same. Naruto, do you feel comfortable watching him on your own?" The elder Alpha asks.

"Yeah. I should be good. I mean he's restrained and he's half dead as is. I doubt he's going to be able to hurt me, even if he wanted to." Naruto says as the pair head off towards the kitchen.


It was then that Naruto took a moment to really examine the other wolf's human form. Even bruised and battered, there was no denying he was stunning. Raven black hair that was spiked in the back, ivory cream colored skin, and lots of sleek muscle. He definitely had classical Japanese features. No wonder Orochimaru hadn't want to let him go.

Naruto was bisexual. He liked both genders, though he was more attracted to males than females in general. So he could certainly appreciate a good looking male wolf.

It was too bad that males couldn't have pups together though. Naruto figured he'd probably end up using a surrogate at some point, unless a really special she-wolf caught his eye later on. Alphas were supposed to have pups. That was just the way it was.

"Argh." Naruto hears a groan of pain come from the formerly "sleeping" man on the couch.

That's when his eyes suddenly opened and Naruto found himself gazing into a stunning pair of ruby red eyes. Uchiha Eyes. That explained everything.

"Easy. Easy. You're safe now." Naruto says, deciding to deal with the fact that somehow they had rescued an Uchiha later on.

Right now, this was one very badly injured and likely terrified wolf. He wasn't a monster. Calming him down took priority.

"Where am I?" He asks.

"You're in our Cabin on Konoha Land. We saved you from the Oto Pack. You can stay here till you get better. After you're recovered, we can all decide what to do. Just relax. I'm sorry about the cuffs and rope. We didn't know if you'd lash out when you woke up." Naruto says.

Sasuke frowns and looks down at his hands and feet. There was a pair of handcuffs on his hands and his feet were bound by a rope. He didn't like it, but he knew why the other wolves had done it.

"Thank you. When I'm better, I'll repay you. I'm a good hunter." Sasuke says.

"Whoa. Whoa. You don't have to repay us. We weren't going to let those jackasses kill you because you weren't into that creep. Don't worry about stuff like that. Right now, you just need to focus on getting better. Sakura treated your injuries. It looks like the bleeding has stopped. Though you might not want to move around too much. Moving could reopen your wounds." Naruto warns him.

Sasuke tilts his head to the side. He couldn't quite process that they had saved him just because they wanted to. They really didn't want anything in return?

"Alright. Thank you. I mean it." Sasuke whispers.

"You're welcome. So do you have a name to go with that beautiful face of yours?" Naruto asks.

Normally, Sasuke would have protested the label. He associated beautiful with being feminine, but there was no malice in the blonde's voice. He wasn't teasing him or acting Orochimaru. That and the other wolf had saved his life. He could make certain allowances.

"Sasuke. My name is Sasuke." He tells him.

"Alright. Well take it easy, Sasuke. I'm Naruto. I'm the head Alpha of the Konoha Pack now. You must be starving and thirsty. I'm gonna get you some food and something to drink. I'll be right back. Okay?" The blonde asks.

"Okay and yeah. I am starving. I could eat a horse." Sasuke mutters and Naruto nods as he heads off.


Sasuke was likely an Ancestral Wolf. The blonde could only hope that he hadn't really meant what he just said. Naruto liked horses too much to consider them food.

"Is he awake?" Minato asks once Naruto comes into the kitchen and starts loading up two plates.

"Yeah. He's awake. He's coherent. He thanked us for saving him. I don't think he's going to be a problem. I know why Orochimaru was so obsessed with him now. He has ruby red eyes. He's an Uchiha." Naruto says and suddenly everyone at the table just gapes at him.

They all knew what that meant. Orochimaru wasn't going to just let this slide. He would try to take the Uchiha back. Who wouldn't? Uchiha males were known for producing the strongest pups.

The Uchihas were rare because they were highly sought after as Mates, particularly the males. The males could have pups. The breed had nearly been "loved to death." It was easier to find a needle in a haystack than an Uchiha these days.

"We'll protect him! The power of youth is on our side! It won't be denied!" Lee says excitedly and Guy nods approvingly.

"Um right. What the spandex freak said." Kankuro agrees while Lee and Guy flail at the label.

They were just so rare and desirable, that Alphas would fight to the death to earn the right to take one as their Mate. More often than not, the Uchiha would get caught in the crossfire. Sometimes packs would try to capture an Uchiha. When that happened, more often than not the proud Uchiha often chose death over being captured. Eventually, this had taken its toll because Uchihas population. They generally had small litters and thus every time an Uchiha died, it didn't bode well for the breed overall.

"Yeah. We'll protect him. Now way am I going to let that freak lay his paws on Sasuke again." Naruto agrees determinedly.
