"I'm not here to hurt you, little fox." The man said, he was wearing trousers and no shirt or shoes, his hair was long but still tamed. His eyes were red and black and focused on every movement the exciting fox made. Naruto stayed as a fox and growled once more, warning him to leave. "I just wanted to thank you for taking care of Riko." That was a lie, while Itachi appreciated how well Riko had been looked after it wasn't why he was here. "Care to have a conversation with me?" Itachi said his tail and ears flicking with excitement as he watched the fox consider his offer.

Naruto transformed and stood in the nude staring at the wolf who was now even more excited. His eyes darkened and with no response from the wold Naruto sighed and grabbed a pelt from his bag. "Well?" Naruto asked with hostility.

Itachi moved out of the shadows and came forward into light. "Well, thank you for helping Riko. Is there anything my family can give you as thanks?" Itachi asked, prodding to see whether he would take the bait and reveal his true intentions.

"No. I just want you to leave." Itachi raised an eyebrow and stepped closer, Naruto immediately tensed up. "Stop right there that's close enough." Itachi looked around the area. "HEY! I said GO. Now!" The little fox looked fierce and Itachi knew he needed to calm the fox down before another fight broke out.

"I'm not here to fight you." Itachi said, then he spotted the entrance to a den, and wondered what Naruto was protecting so whole heartedly. To ease him up he moved away from the den and saw Naruto's posture relax somewhat. "I simple came to make amends for my actions." He said and watched as Naruto followed him away from the den. His excitement grew once more as Naruto seemed to be trusting him.

"You've said thanks, I feel thanked, now is there anything else?" He asked and stood still once more, not one to be led into any traps.

"I could give you some sort of reward, my family isn't sort on money." Itachi said and realised his tone came off more seductive than he could control. He meant it as another way to prod and see if this fox was another social climber but what he wanted was for Naruto to see him as powerful and that he could provide. Before he knew it he was trying to make himself come across as a good potential mate.

"I don't need your money. What's so hard yo understand about that?" Naruto protested once more. The man in front on of him was flaunting his wealth in Naruto's face, clearly he was poor, what did he want, to lure him into a money based trap?

"Then what can I offer you?" Itachi said coming closer.

"Nothing, for godsake nothing!" Itachi continued to approach the annoyed blond. Naruto watched his approach and felt something coil in his stomach, he knew he wasn't going to attack him so he waited to see what he would do.

Then a hand touched his cheek and Naruto was taken back by the contact. Besides Kyuubi no one ever wanted to touch him because he was a fox. He felt Itachi's breath on his face shocked at the feelings it brought up in him he pushed the other man forcefully. But the next moment Itachi was on top of him, Itachi made a rumbling noise at the excitement of having the fox beneath him. "What're you-!" Because Naruto could finish Itachi kissed him, it was both of their firsts kiss and Naruto didn't move, he was shocked and shoved the other man off him. He didn't feel threatened by the man however, so he didn't shift.

Itachi composed himself and stood up, the Sharingan in his eyes spinning with the rush that the one sided kiss had brought him. He knew then that his fox was to be his mate. The thought stopped him in his tracks and he growled, he couldn't bring a fox home, to his parents, wolves mated wolves and gave birth to even stronger purebred pups. Duty and instinct was pulling him in 2 directions.

"….papa…" Both Naruto and Itachi's heads whipped to the small red head that had popped out the hole in the ground. Suddenly Naruto was in his Fox form, his pelt fallen to the ground. Itachi held up both hands as sign that he would not hurt him or the child.

"I told you I didn't come to hurt anyone; you or the offspring." Itachi said. "I didn't know why I came here. I just felt that I needed to." Itachi admitted. Still Naruto was a large golden fox and ready to attack. "What's his name? …He's cute." Itachi said, truthfully he didn't care for children or think they were cute, but he played to the submissive foxes nature for loving babies.

Naruto wondered what this man wanted. He had kissed him and could have killed him if he wanted but hadn't, he didn't charge for Kyuubi either. But he had been hurt before when trusting others so he stayed in his fox form incase this man decided to attack.

"I understand you want to protect the child, I felt the same for Riko, my family are no stranger to having cubs kidnapped and sold." Itachi said once again appealing to Naruto's nature and revealing a struggle his family were always dealing with.

It worked and Naruto's heart ached at the thought of a child being sold, he understood Itachi's protectiveness and why he attacked. Also to the mans word he had not hurt Naruto again since that incident. "Fine." Naruto said now human. "But I don't anymore trouble. Please leave." Naruto requested again.

"Only if you promise to meet me tomorrow." Itachi said and stalked closer to Naruto. "At noon, there's a white tree that way you can't miss it." Itachi finished and stood in front of Naruto once more who's heart was beating faster than before. Itachi leaned in close and was a breath away from the submissive's lips when he whispered "Please?" Naruto this time expecting the kiss shut his eyes and enjoyed it but didn't show any encouragement for Itachi to carry on. He broke away and nodded his head. Itachi left a moment after and Naruto stood wondering what he agreed to.
