Burning Desire for a Touch

Chapter One

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

"Isamu, throw me the ball, you teme!" Naruto Uzumaki shouted from across the playing field at his kinsmen. Jumping up at a height no human could, Naruto grabbed the ball and landed on his feet and took off running towards the touchdown line. At the moment, they were playing a friendly game of football with the demons. A game they all play once a year. One that Naruto and his clan played to get their minds off what day it was.

Being that Naruto was clad only in jeans and was muddy and sweaty, he felt numb to the pounding rain and the regret of letting his brother go alone on the faithful night when he was captured and never to be seen again. Faking a right, Naruto swirled out of the way of two smoke demons and keep running. Two of his own teammates flanked him keeping his safe until he got to the touchdown line. But before that could happen, a large demon named Kenta appeared in front of Naruto. Glancing up at the big demon, Naruto drove in between the demons long legs and sprinted across the field laughing. Reaching the touchdown line, Naruto slammed the ball into the mud and all of the Lykaes playing started to cheer.

"Great play, Naru-chan!" Isamu said smacking Naruto on the back, and an identical twin of Isamu appeared on Naruto's right and smirked. "Good work, Naruto. Never knew you could drive under a demon and get away with it!" Yasu, Isamu's twin, stated. Naruto rolled his eyes, but stopped when Kenta came up to him.

"You have got to stop picking fight with demons bigger than you, Naruto." Isamu said while shaking his head in amusement. Kenta, the demon, stalked up to Naruto and punched him square in the jaw. The punch sent Naruto backwards a few steps but while demons were strong, Lykaes were known for their strength. Naruto was on the demon, like white on snow. The white's of Naruto's flashed the palest of blues, signaling that the beast was clawing just under the surface. Naruto reared back and was about to let his fist say a hello to Kenta's face, but Yasu and Isamu tackled him before he do it. Naruto struggled, before calming down. "Sorry." Naruto muttered to the twins.

"Looks like you have your teammates keeping you safe from little old me." Kenta laughed out right. Naruto snarled at Kenta and moved to tackle him again, but both of the twins grabbed him arms and moved him backwards to them side of the field so they could cool the prince of the Lykaes down. "Calm down, Naruto. You know has well as I do that Kenta is just being a bastard." Yasu said forcing Naruto to sit in the mud. Naruto looked disgruntled, but did has the twin said.

"That bastard is going to meet my fist one day or another! He thinks I can't take him! He may have the height and weight on me, but I have the brains!" Naruto snarled, glaring at the demon on the other side of the field. "Naruto, we know you can take him, he is just trying to ruffle your fur." Isamu snorted, changing the saying to fit them better, Naruto grinning at the twin for cheering him up. "Now, if you want to relax, take one of them, and shag her." Isamu said nodding to the nymphs on the sidelines, who were sliding their hands into their pants and moaning, waiting for the game to turn into an orgy.

"God damn it! Who the hell invited them?" Naruto sneered. Isamu and Yasu looked away guilty of doing what Naruto asked. Naruto sighed, "Why do you two keep trying to send them my way! I don't like them." Isamu and Yasu looked at each other and busted out laughing, clinging to each other as they tried not to fall to the ground. Naruto just raised an eyebrow at them, while they continued to laugh. Once they stopped, Yasu spoke, "Any man with his cock working likes nymphs, Naruto." Naruto rolled his eyes and switched his gaze to the nymphs, where they were trying to get each other off.

"I don't like them. They are just too…too…" Naruto trailed off trying to think of the right word.

"Beautiful?" Isamu throw in. Naruto laughed but shook his head. It wasn't the right word. "Lusty?" Yasu retorted. Naruto snorted, knowing the full truth for that one word to describe the nymph's species. "Easy," Naruto said, "they are too easy, I like to have a good chase. I want my mate to fight me instead of fall into bed just because I'm supposedly the king of the Lykae race." Naruto said spitting out the word king. And when Yasu opened his mouth, Naruto shot "Yes, supposedly."

"I can't believe you still think that Kyuubi is going to come back." Isamu said gravely. Yasu nodded his head at his brother's admission. Being that Kyuubi had been gone for a century and a half now; the three of them had fought round after round of this. Naruto always beat himself up because he thought it was his fault for not going with his big brother to hunt down the vampires. "Naruto, Kyuubi has been missing about a century and a half. He is dead. You are the king. There is no 'supposedly' about it." Isamu snapped at Naruto. Naruto just huffed and turned back to the field to glare at Kenta. All of the Lykae thought that Naruto wouldn't move on and accept his responsibilities of king. And they were damn right!

"When are you going accept that Kyuubi is not coming back. Five hundred years from now?" Yasu said in a solemn tone of voice. Naruto glanced back at his friend, "I can feel that he is alive. I mean, being brothers with that senseless idiot much mean he is alive and well." Naruto put in, not looking at the twins. The twins looked at each other and sighed. Nodding their heads, they both wacked Naruto on the back. "If you feel that then, let's go kick some demon ass! Or better yet, hand the ass back to them!" Yasu shouted loud enough for the demons to hear. Some hissed at them and some let curses fly at them. Not that they cared, this was just for fun.

"Game on!" one of the smoke demons Naruto avoided early in the game yelled across the field. Throwing a smirk at the twins, Naruto hauled ass across the field, tackling one or two demons in his way of the ball. And just when he had the ball Kenta appeared in his path. Naruto grinned. Pumping his arms to gain speed, Naruto became a blur…faster…and faster…Naruto rammed into Kenta, who was not expecting it. And when Kenta went down, blood came out of the demon's mouth. "You're going to pay for that, Naruto!" the demon bellowed.

Miles after miles, Sasuke the Hunted had been tracking down his prey for more than three days. The Skims were running from Sasuke because of the bounty on their heads. But before Sasuke could think another thought, he heard noise that sounded like a war going on. Sasuke's slightly pointed ear twitched, and Sasuke tilted his head to the side. There was something going on and the people didn't invite the Valkins? And all of them were in Valkins territory too. Sasuke had no clue that the other beings would wonder onto the Valkin's land. Well that is if they were of the Akatsuki, human beings had no clue that the Akatsuki existed.

When Sasuke arrived at the field where the beings were doing war, he was intrigued to find that they were…playing, rather than fighting like he expected of them. Sasuke's head tilted to the side, has he tried to think of the types of demons there were in the game. From what he could see there were smoke demons, rage demons, ash demons, and even five or six lightning demons there. But it's the shirtless team that had Sasuke looking curiously. He knew that they were Lykae but then the rumors would be true, and they were encroaching on the Valkin's territory.

The winds howled and lightning flashed in the sky, the thunder rumbled its approval at their play, has Sasuke looked over the players. All of them were built. With muscles and shoulders that were twice has big has his own. Sasuke glared heatedly. Even since he had been little, he knew that in the Akatsuki, where were males that could be in the female position with a dominant male. And with his build, Sasuke knew he was one of them.

Glancing that the female nymphs on the sideline, Sasuke sneered at them, they were so carefree. Sasuke, himself, was once like that, but not now, and never again. The nymphs shivered with delight has one of the demons grabbed a Lykae and slammed him into the ground wrestling rather than playing the game. Sasuke dragged his eyes over the demon and – what Sasuke suspected to be a Lykae - on the ground. Sasuke didn't find anything that he really liked in the demon or the other player. It was a ruthless hit made by the demon, but what made Sasuke raise his eyebrow was not the violence – he was, after all, a Valkin, known for their loving of violence – but the unthinking violence that the demon dealt to the player.

And to think all of this powerful Akatsuki creatures and no one thought to check around the area to keep people out of the game they were playing. Sasuke scoffed. Lykaes and demons were so stupid to him. Both were brutes without brains. And luckily Sasuke only had to b there for a second and then he could just skedaddle back to the Val Estate. And hopefully, his half-psychotic sister, Hana would let him rest before sending him back out to hunt the wicked creatures that mess with the Valkins. With the thought of resting once he got home, Sasuke grabbed his bow and set out to get his work done.

Sasuke winched in pity when, this time, a player from the other team tackled a demon. And half of a horn just flew down the field, has the demon screamed in pain, having a horn broken hurts like a mother fucker to a demon. Sasuke felt sorry for the demon…that was until he saw the player that had tackled him, Sasuke's claws curled inward towards his palms, has Sasuke felt his mouth dry up. Blond hair and blue eyes, and a body that could almost make Sasuke drool. But when the whites of the man's eyes flashed pale blue, Sasuke backed up in disgust. He was right. The other players were Lykaes. And from the sign of his claws, Sasuke was…attracted to an animal. Sasuke shuddered in disgusted. Even though the blond was an animal, he held Sasuke's attention.

"You think that hurts Kenta, wait until I cut your balls off and feed them to you!" The blond Lykae shouted at the demon. Shouting in a voice that sent shivers up and down Sasuke's spine. The Lykae's muscles in his back and shoulders trembled has he bowed up at the demon and snarled, baring his fangs has a threat to the demon named Kenta. Identical twins pulled him away from the demon he tackled, Sasuke knew right then that that one Lykae had been picking fights with that demon for a long time. Sasuke's sighs sadly, Lykaes were just brutes as were demons. So picking fights with each other was pathetic to the dark haired Valkin.

The Lykae species were called beasts just for that reason. They had no control over themselves…at all. All of the Akatsuki thought that the Lykaes should be more careful about themselves, but they never listen. Sasuke glanced at the blond Lykae once more and felt his groin tighten. Sasuke hissed in anger, an animal shouldn't make him desire his touch like this! The blond was one hundred percent alpha male and he was making Sasuke's bones tingle with want.

Sasuke waited for a while watching the large male Lykae shout commands to the players and waiting for revulsion to stomp on his attraction to the Lykae…but it didn't happen. Not after a minute or the half an hour, he spent waiting for the revulsion to set in. It didn't happen! Sasuke growled in frustration. And lightning strike played across the sky from his anger. But once the blond Lykae moved across the field, Sasuke's body stirred again. And his small clawed hands curled up, aching to pull that large dominant male body close. Then the cold wind brought him back to the present.

Sasuke glared at the blond Lykae. And drag his attention away from him and his game to stare at the nymphs. Being carefree was not all it was knocked up to be. Sasuke shook his head; he was now a fire archer by right of the pain and suffering he had been made to take. He had a code. And he was going to follow that code through and through. Sasuke's eye caught site of one of the Skims that he was sent to dispatch. And from the looks of it, the pair of Skims had split up. Sasuke felt a smirk slide into place on his face. They just made it easier for him to kill them.

The Skims didn't know that Sasuke was the one tracking them; they just knew that someone was. Sasuke was the most skilled archer in the Akatsuki. He has never missed a target since he was made a Chie. He practiced for hours on end to never know the pain that he had suffered to be here in the present rather than six feet under dead.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Naruto shouted to Isamu to take his left. Running with the ball close to his chest, Naruto rammed into a demon and continued to run together the goal line. The group of demons that was on Naruto's heels slowed two or three at a time, knowing that they were not going to beat the Lykae in the chase. No one could. Taking the easy score, Naruto whooped when all the demons stopped and throw curses at him.

Lifting his head, Naruto scented the air. And right before he got to the goal line, he caught a sniff of a sweet delicious scent that made him weak in the knees. Naruto halted in his run for the goal line. Naruto could scent her! His mate was near. Though, she had hide herself well, Naruto could still smell her. Naruto knew that it was his mate that held the scent. Swinging his head towards the scent, Naruto spotted a small figure in the distance. And with the first site of her, Naruto's breath was sucked out of him, and Naruto felt lightheaded. And his long lost Lykae Instinct roared inside of his head.

-YOURS! TAKE HIM!-

Naruto just stared at his mate. The cloak around her figure didn't tell him anything. But from what his Instinct just said it was a male. His mate was a male. Naruto felt his insides shift, when the small figure took off the cloak. His mate may be a male but, fuck; he was a gift that Naruto thought he would never receive. Naruto could make out every detail of his mate. The black eyes of the raven-haired male made Naruto want to run up to him and kiss him hard on the lips. A bow was clenched in his hand. And two pointed ears showed, making Naruto lick his lips fascinating about licking those ears.

WHAM! Naruto was tackled by a large demon that he hadn't noticed, thanks to his mate. And one by one the demons piled onto Naruto. His right arm popped out of his socket, and a knee into his jaw loosened a couple of teeth. Naruto growled, but not from the pain, no he has had worse than this, but from the frustration of not being able to get to his mate. Naruto fought for his freedom. But with six demons that weighed more than two hundred pounds or more each, it didn't work.

The twins ran to Naruto and starts peeling the demons off him. Naruto struggled to get to his knees, coughing up blood and spitting it out. All the while staring that the strange small male, Naruto watched has the male in the distances grabbed three arrows out of his quiver on his thigh and notch them in his bow, he was aiming for the nymphs…no, there was a Skim hiding in the group of nymphs. The male held still for a few second with his fingers touching his cheek. Then the male said something and the arrow tips light with fire! The rain didn't even put the fire out. But in lightning speed, he released the arrows, one by one, sending them in between the nymphs separating the Skim's head from its body. Naruto stared in shock. That shot was amusing! From over a distance of half a mile, did the small male shot those arrows and they hit their target, but the small male didn't seem happy that all…more like bored with the results.

The male started to stroll over to the nymph, all who looked frightened by the small male. Grabbing hold of the head and body of the Skim, she throw both of them in the swamp near the nymphs, then he slung the bow over his shoulder and started to walk off, before he noticed everyone attention was on him, he slowed, "Oh," he gave Naruto and everyone an eloquent wave, "Play on."

Naruto stared open mouthed has the small male walked away, but his eyes were glued to the male's ass. Naruto started to wheeze when he started to get up, but Isamu and Yasu wacked his back a few times, but when the male caught his gaze, Naruto reached out a hand. The archer's face twisted in disdain. Finally when Yasu slammed his hand on his back one last time, Naruto coughed up the teeth that were lodged in his throat. "What the hell is up with you, Naruto?" Isamu asked.

"It's…happened" Naruto forced out. Both of the twins knew what he spoke of. Yasu looked happy for Naruto, and Isamu looked rather jealous but happy at the same time. Finding one's mate was best for Lykaes. They all were waiting for it to happen to them. "The archer?" Isamu questioned Naruto, who gave a nod. Yasu whistled low, "I have never seen someone shoot like that before in my life. He looks like…he could be a Valkin."

Naruto shook himself off, while Isamu said, "Ah! Bad luck strikes you a lot, don't it, Naruto." Naruto just nodded his head and gritted his teeth. "Just shut up and pop my shoulder back in place, you bakas!" Of course, when Naruto's mate got a first look at him, he was yelling at his kinsmen calling them pussies and playing dirty just to get back that the demons for doing so. Being shirtless, covered in mud, filthy with blood and sweat didn't help him at all, and he didn't even have shoes on!

"You tell no one about this!" Naruto grated out, just has Yasu popped his shoulder back into place. He waited for an answer, "Why not?" Naruto shook his head, and glared at the two. "No one can know, until he is marked and mated! You got me?" Naruto questioned. Both twins nodded quickly. Naruto turned on his heel and took off sprinting in the direction that his mate went in.

-TRACK HIM! CLAIM!-

The Instinct was yelling at him. Naruto charged forward with the intent of claiming his mate for the first time. Throwing his head back, Naruto took a deep breath of his scent and nearly melted with delight. Naruto wanted to give a great howl. But when he spotted a tree, he saw an arrow with a piece of his mate's shirt on it. Naruto growled. He had a smart mate. He used the arrows with pieces of his clothing to obscure his trail. Naruto let a feral smirk show on his face. His mate was running, giving him a chase, he had been born for him. And Naruto had been born to track him down.

The swamp was moving under his feet for about an hour before Naruto found his lovely mate. Naruto was able to get very close without being detected because of the swamp terrain. Naruto's breath was sucked out of his body once again, now that he was seeing his mate up close. And with his beautiful body, he had to be born to the Valkins, a species that had many females but very few males that were born to the species. And most of the time, the males that were born into the Valkin were born submissive rather than dominant. The small pointed ears made Naruto want to close his eyes and fantasize about what he could make his mate do with just one lick to those ears. He was wearing a tight white shirt that was see-through in the, now drizzling rain. And knees cut shorts. His hair was black and it styled funny in the back and the two pieces of hair in his face framed it perfectly. It made Naruto want to purr.

He was stalking his prey from above ground, Naruto noted. But every few times, Naruto would step on a twig, his head would snap to Naruto's direction and the pointed ear would twitch, making something else on Naruto's body twitch along with it. Suddenly and without warning, he jumped up and a waterlogged spot. He took his bow off his back and ran his hand over it. Naruto noticed that the bow may be large but it was every typical, if not old-fashioned. When his mate's hand dragged off his bow and onto his leg for the quiver, Naruto almost moaned. His mate was torturing him, with all of this slow moving hands being dragged over his body. And with one more step, Naruto could see there were gold markings in the black wood of the bow. Naruto's heart froze when his mate, notched one arrow and moved his lips and the arrow tip light on fire. But the fire was black instead of orange. Then his mate turned his way and aimed right at him, Naruto stilled. And that damned ear twitched again, Naruto bite his lip to keep a moan from escaping.

Before turning back to the ground, his mate aimed downward, right where Naruto scented her prey. Naruto didn't know how she was going to get the Skim to come out of the ground. That filthy creature stank of fear; Naruto could smell it even from where he was hiding. Naruto glanced at his mate for a second and watched with awe has his mate whispered "Underground won't save you from me."

To Be Continued…

Oh my gosh! I had no clue that Sasuke could shot arrows…and light them with fire! But then again…he is a fire archer. That could be the reason why he can do that sort of thing… *sweatdrop* Hehe, BlushingMarionette says thanks for reviewing this story.
