"Sasuke!" Sakura ran up to him and wrapped her arms around his figure, "I was so worried!"

"I'm alright Sakura-chan," Sasuke laughed. "Did Ino keep you company while I was away?"

Sakura turned red as Sasuke waggled his eyebrows. "Doesn't she always."

After Naruto left Sakura was basically on her own. With Sasuke being in a coma and Naruto MIA she had no one to depend on. So she took her 'solitude' as a chance to explore her feelings for her other friends. She figured out that Ino was the most important person to her that was still around. It was merely a matter of exploring Ino's feelings in turn, which she did. By the time Sasuke came out of his coma the girls were dating. Sasuke excepted it, but he was a bit surprised.

"Yeah, she does." There was a faraway look in Sasuke's eyes as he said this.

"So did you see him!?" She was very excited, "what is he like?"

"Different," Sasuke sighed. "Way different."

"How so?"

"Well, he's tanner then before…taller, his hair has a bit of an orange hue to it…and" Sasuke took a deep breath. "His eyes are purple (1), he's practically Kyuubi now."

"So there's no hope?" He voice grew small.

He avoided answering her question, "I have to go speak to Tsunande…and then… I'm leaving."

"Leaving! But Sasuke, they'll send the ANBU after you! You won't get off this time, they'll take you out!" She practically begged as she clung to his arm.

"Sakura, let go" His voice was cold. "I have to do this, to protect Konoha."

She looked away; knowing there was no swaying him, and nodded. Sasuke gave her a soft smile and a small hug before going off towards Tsunande's office.

"So did you…" Tsunande stopped speaking when she saw Sasuke's expression.

"He's not afraid…he refuses to come back to us…and he says he'll kill whoever you send after him." Sasuke's fists were clenched. 'And he had ordered me to return to him in three days or he will come and get me, killing everything he sees on the way."

"Damn, I thought the brat would listen to you since you are his mate" Tsunande said absent mindedly.

"You knew!" Sasuke was outraged.

"Yes," She frowned. "I've known since he was 16."

"How…and why didn't you tell me!?" He had calmed down a bit.

"I didn't think he would come back" She said simply. 'And I'm a bit worried as to why he came back.'

"So how did you find out I was his mate?"

"Well…"

-Three years ago. Tsunande's POV-

It was a relatively normal day for me. I had more paper work then I cared to think about, Orochimaru to be wary of, but that was the least of my problems. The brat currently sat in my office panting like a dog on a hot summer's day. It was his 16th birthday; he had been like this since he woke up this morning.

"Has Kyuubi said anything about your condition yet?" I asked feeling a bit sorry for him.

"I haven't asked!" His voice was high and whinny, what a pain.

"Well ask!" I tried my hardest to be patient, but I'm not a patient person.

He was quiet for a few minutes and turning redder with every second.

"He says...that I'm of age…so I'm having my first heat…the heat will go away when I mate." He scratched his cheek, embarrassed.

"Well then go find yourself a mate brat!" Now I was irritated, he could be so stupid...well it appeared that way anyway.

"I have one wench!" His eyes turned red, "but he's not here."

"Kyuubi, calm yourself. Who is it?" I had to keep calm as not to provoke him.

"The fuckable Uchiha… Sasuke is my mate." Slowly his eyes turned back to blue. "Heh...sorry oba-san."

-End flashback...normal POV-

"So…this heat, how often does it happen?" Sasuke fidgeted a bit.

Tsunande seemed to think about it for a moment. "I think once every six months or so."

"And when was his first heat?"

"His birthday…which now that I think about it is three days from now."

Sasuke turned pale, so that was why Naruto was so insistent he be back. In three days Naruto would be…in heat! Sasuke's mind began to panic, he wasn't ready to…mate with Naruto!

"Do you know much of demons?" Sasuke tried to keep the fear from his words.

"Only what Naruto has told me, so not much."

Sasuke sighed, "anything else Hokage-sama?"

"No, just make sure you aren't here in three days." She gave him a soft smile, "Sorry Uchiha."

"It's alright, I understand"

"Gaara, you're a demon right?" Sasuke asked walking up to the siblings of sand…and Shikamaru.

"Yes, why?" Gaara rose a….. Nonexistent eyebrow.

"Well, what do you know about mating?" Sasuke coughed embarrassed.

"Demon mating. Well it's different for ever species of demon. 'He smiled, which was creepy, "You want to know about fox demon mating don't you."

Sasuke turned red and nodded, "yeah, I'm Naruto's mate."

"I could have told you that," Shikamaru stated lazily.

"Who else knew?" Sasuke asked, irritated once again.

"Pretty much anyone who was close to Naruto" Kankuro stated.

"And none of you though to mention it to me!" Sasuke was, putting it nicely, pissed off.

"It would have been to troublesome." Shikamaru yawned.

"For you maybe! But it would have been useful for me to know!"

"Calm down Sasuke, do you want information or not?"

Sasuke sighed. "Yes."

"Alright. A fox demon goes into heat once every six months. When in heat their number one goal is to mate with their mate." Sasuke paled at this, "but they would much rather die than force their mate…which can be problematic."

"Why?"

"Well, the chances of overheating are very high. Overheating can mean death." Gaara said.

"But Naruto has gone through five mating seasons without me and he hasn't overheated yet."

"This only means he will be all the more persistent in trying to make you mate with him. He can 'force' you without 'forcing' you."

"That made no sense"

"He means Naruto can put you in a position where you can't say no. By pleasuring you to the point of incoherency" Kankuro cut in.

"Precisely" Gaara nodded.

"Well isn't that just great," Sasuke grumbled. "Well thanks anyway Gaara."

Sasuke next went to talk to Kakashi, who was probably at Iruka's. /Two birds with one stone/ he thought. Upon arriving he knocked on the door, he had learned the hard way not to barge in. (2)

"Hold on!" came Iruka's panicked voice.

"Calm down Iru, it's only Sasuke.' Kakashi opened the door in only his pants and smiled. (3)

"Good afternoon Kakashi-sensei." Sasuke couldn't help but smirk as a flustered Iruka came to the door, clothes askew.

"Good afternoon Sasuke-kun," Iruka said, inviting Sasuke in.

"So how is he?" Kakashi cut right to the case.

"Kyuubi and him have become one person…and he has no intention of returning to Konoha." Sasuke sighed as he took a seat.

"I figured. Funny what a death can do to a person. Especially the death of someone dear." Kakashi muttered.

"Yeah…I suppose it is all my fault." Sasuke sighed, reflecting on the past.

(4)-Flashback three years ago, Sasuke POV-

"I've come to fight you Naruto!" I smirked at me 'former' friend, "after all, you are the one who called me out."

"Sasuke we don't have to fight…just come back to Konoha. No one will be mad at you!" he pleaded trying to reason.

"I don't need their petty forgiveness, I have power!" I raved madly, attacking Naruto.

He of course jumped out of the way. "What is your intention Sasuke, to kill me?" there was pain in his eyes, emotional not physical.

"Yes, I hate you and everyone else in Konoha!" I laughed, "Only Orochimaru understands what true power is. Now die Naruto!" Once again I lunged forward, our battle beginning.

"If that's how it is then so be it, I'll kill you myself!" Naruto's eyes turned murderous, a blood red color indicating he was using his demon chakra.

Everything was a flash, no coherent things happening; nothing bit small inklings of what was occurring. The next thing I knew I was on the ground bleeding from multiple wounds. Naruto kneeled on top of me…and tears were in his eyes?

"Do you surrender Sasuke?" He growled, his claws ready to deal the final blow, "will you change your mind/"

"Never." I spat at him.

"So be it."

Then there was pain, a pain so immense that it made everything go black. I couldn't see, I couldn't move, but for a few seconds I could hear and feel. I felt wetness on my cheek, droplets, but it wasn't rain. I heard an animalistic howl that went on forever, a howl of sorrow. Then….nothing.

-End flashback normal POV-

"Sasuke!" Kakashi snapped him from his thoughts.

"Hm?" Sasuke was paying attention now.

"Why did you come here?" Kakashi asked.

"To say goodbye I guess. I probably won't see you again." Sasuke sighed, "But I guess I still have two more days." ((It is night so the first day is over))

"Well, let's make them last shall we? "Iruka smiled and hugged Sasuke tightly.

"Thanks Iruka-sensei." Sasuke muttered, truly smiling for the first time in a long time. (5)

(1) Red + blue is purple

(2) He walked in on them having sex once.

(3)He's not wearing his mask! Gasp!

(4)So most of you probably know that Sasuke went off to Orochimaru to gain power. This story is in the assumption that when he comes back it is to kill Naruto and gain his true power. This was shortly after Naruto's first heat so he had attempted to bring Sasuke back again, he failed of course. It was the curse mark controlling him and when he 'died' the curse mark ceased to work but was still there. He was in a coma for the first four months that Naruto was gone. Naruto went berserk when he 'killed' his mate and killed 26 or so people then left because he was afraid of and furious at Konoha. ((And at that point Sasuke had already killed Itatchi.))

(5)After Naruto left Iruka kind of adopted Sasuke as a son, because he missed Naruto. And Sasuke, who had no parents, excepted the motion. So Iruka and Kakashi are like his parents at this point.

Alright it's done, reveiw please!
