Good Kitty

Chapter 3

XxX

"No… Genma! Get off the bed," Naruto demanded firmly of the brunette feline. He was a bit shocked that the humanoid disobeyed him and instead started crawling toward him. He didn't stop until their noses were almost touching. "Genma," Naruto warned, his eyes narrowing in confusion. Naruto knew the humanoid could understand him. The horny bastard was just being stubborn, like any other feline. Of course, Naruto didn't remember Iruka acting this defiant.

Genma gave a lecherous grin as he settled all his weight on top of Naruto, causing the blond to fall back against his pillow and huff indignantly. His clawed fingers slipped under the hem of Naruto's nightshirt, the pads of his fingers barely grazing the skin and sending shivers through the blonde's body.

"Uh…n-no, Genma… Bad…bad cat," Naruto moaned out incoherently as the fingers journeyed further up to his nipples and tweaked them. It was gentle and very arousing to his singing nerve clusters. "Mmm…Genma," he whispered passionately, not realizing it until the feline's tongue was down his throat.

The humanoid purred loudly, his chest vibrating pleasantly against the blonde's chest, tickling his revealed nipples. The feline had one thing on his mind right at that moment, and it was claiming this human as his own. The very human he had fallen in love with the moment he stepped foot onto this farm a year ago. He had never seen anyone with such lovely, sunny blonde hair and two of the most beautiful cerulean eyes in all of Japan. It was love at first sight.

Naruto let out a meek whimper as sharp pointed teeth grazed his throat. He squirmed slightly; this new sensation becoming addictive. "More…Genma…" The blond had apparently forgotten who was doing this to him and was quite oblivious to the feline's main purpose for the situation. "That feels so good." He started thrusting his hips, their erections meeting with each lift.

Genma released an aroused mewl before moving his hands down to Naruto's sleeping pants and tugging at the waistband. Stupid clothes! Be so much easier if the teen had slept in a nude. And just before he could get the offending clothing off, a gunshot, not close to the house, but close enough to startle anyone to consciousness, rang out in the air.

Naruto sat up abruptly, accidentally knocking Genma to the other side of the bed and then quickly hurried out of bed. He met Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Shizune in the hallway. It was Jiraiya who stated that it came from the barn, so they all followed him in that direction.

Shizune quickly flung the doors open like there was a fire burning within and they clattered loudly against the side of the barn. Fortunately, there wasn't a fire, but there was definitely the smell of gun smoke drifting in the air.

Standing not even three feet away from the shark tank was Itachi, the gun pointed at the ceiling. A small hole peered down upon them, a beam of moonlight landing on the Uchiha's chest.

"Itachi," Jiraiya exclaimed, noting the young man's wounded right leg and left shoulder. He apparently didn't care as to why the Uchiha fired a gun, much less how he got a hold of one. As he took a step closer to the other man, he could see that the wounds were shark bites. "What the hell happened? Why did Kisame bite you?" He peered over at the shark's tank and quickly noted the blood floating at the surface, but no sign of Kisame. "Itachi," he tried again.

The Uchiha peered at the white haired man from over his injured shoulder and immediately regretted the hasty movement. "They were fighting…Kakashi and Kabuto…" His whole body shuddered, indicating that he had lost a grave amount of blood. "I tried to stop them…but they just pushed me out of the way."

Tsunade walked past them just as Shizune caught Itachi's fainting form in her arms. "He'll need medical help. Apparently the excitement got to Kisame and he was hoping for a brawl himself." Which she knew wasn't the case. Those bites would have been deeper and more severe if Kisame actually wanted to fight. Those were from a violent animal trying to claim his mate, but Jiraiya, Naruto, and Shizune didn't need to know that. "Take him to the house and call the hospital," she demanded.

Shizune urgently did as she was told and left the barn.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes to inspect the shadows, wondering if the gun shot had scattered the fighting animals. Just as she was about to shrug it off, a naked Kakashi stumbled out into the open out of the shadows of the loft he was supposed to be lying in with his mate. There was a gash that ran horizontally across his forehead and a bite mark just below his right shoulder. "Kakashi?" She stared at him with deep concern. The pitiful thing was bleeding, but not heavily, and breathing irregularly from exhaustion. His ears were pointed in two different directions and his tail drooped. "Oh my god, Kakashi!" She started to approach him with haste when another figure landed by the canine's feet in a dead faint. "Kabuto?!"

The rabbit's once beautiful silver hair that was normally put in a low ponytail was now matted with dirt and blood and cascading around his shoulders. Tsunade heard her husband curse in the background, and couldn't help but give a knowing smile.

"Shit!" Jiraiya cursed. If Orochimaru returned to find his pet in that state, he was as good as dead. "What in the hell happened?"

Naruto stood paralyzed at the sight. 'What in the hell happened' indeed? Here was Kakashi, still in one peace thankfully, but where was Iruka? His eyes drifted to the loft above their heads and were met with two, wide doe eyes staring down at them. "Iruka?" He called softly.

The cat gave a pitiful meow before dropping down to Kakashi's side and then moving to stand in front of his mate to lick tenderly at the scratch on his forehead. He allowed the other to pull him closer and purred encouragingly.

Kakashi looked up at his new mate, a smile forming over his lips and his tail started wagging excitedly. He had claimed and won his mate rightfully, and by the pleasant licks and purrs, Iruka was equally as happy about it.

The teen smiled in relief. Iruka was alright and Kakashi was definitely going to be fine. Apparently a few scratches couldn't slow that dog down. That's when Naruto noticed that both were completely nude and turned a quizzical eye on Tsunade.

She stared back at him and chuckled. "Yes, Naruto. They've accepted each other. After that fight, I would hope so. But you're definitely going to have a happy cat to come home to after school, ne?"

Naruto flushed and scratched the back of his head with embarrassment. "Hai, Tsunade-san. I want to thank you for your help!"

"Bah!" Tsunade mused. "I should be the one thanking you. You're doing me a favor by taking him." She pointed at the silver-haired canine for emphasis. She then looked down at Kabuto and shook her head. "I don't particularly care for this humanoid-rabbit. He has a nasty tendency to bite and claw, especially if he doesn't get what he wants. He seems to like Jiraiya well enough though, so I guess it's a good thing Kakashi still left him in one piece." She noted the cotton tail was missing a few chunks of fur and smiled in amusement. Kakashi had some nasty teeth on him.

Her husband snorted from behind her and crossed his arms over his chest in a pout. "I can't help it, Tsu-honey. That rabbit was a gift from me to Orochimaru! And if he finds out that his bunny has been brutally mauled, he'll probably shave me bald."

Tsunade laughed. "You do need a good haircut." She sneered at him from over her shoulder and couldn't help but snicker at the man's indignant frown. "I was joking, dear. I wouldn't allow him to cut my husband's mane…no matter how untamed it is," she muttered in order to tease him further.

Jiraiya sulked some more as he knelt beside her and lifted the hare into his arms. "I'm going to take him back to the house." But before he left, he peered at Kakashi sympathetically. It was almost hard to believe that two of his favorite humanoids had a scuffle over a humanoid-cat like Iruka. Even though he did admit that that feline was definitely a worth-while catch, he couldn't help but feel that Kakashi was probably falling into something he would never be able to get himself out of. He chuckled at that as he finally started back to the house. Wasn't that how he ended up with the life he had now, because of Tsunade? And boy, what a life it had been for him. He couldn't be happier.

"Tsunade-san?" Naruto looked up at her expectantly, albeit nervously. "I was wondering… Do you know…if Kakashi has any pups?"

The vet looked at her blond client in shock. That was the last thing she expected to come out of his mouth. "Nani? Why do you ask?"

"Well…considering Iruka is a family cat…and he loves kids… I was thinking that maybe if I adopted one of Kakashi's pups, it would be a complete family."

Tsunade tilted her head with a thoughtful smile on her face. "Ah, Naruto. You're going to spoil him rotten."

"I've already done that, I think," Naruto smirked. "So, do you?"

She nodded. "Hai, I do. You'll have to wait until morning though. They're all asleep right now."

Naruto beamed. "Really? I can wait until then! So, you only kept Kakashi for breeding until now?"

"Unfortunately. Anyone that has a female canine in heat always comes here because they want a white German Shepard pup of their own and/or they want a show dog…or a show humanoid in this case. What they don't realize is what I told you at the vet's office. The pup is going to show very few characteristics from the father."

"So how many does he have here?"

Tsunade motioned toward the doors. "Let's go to the house and get warmed up first." She watched as Iruka and Kakashi climbed back into their loft and buried themselves under hay for warmth.

When all the humanoids were settled back in and the barn was shut and locked once again for the night, everyone except Shizune and Itachi, were sitting at the kitchen table. Kabuto had woken up some time between Tsunade making hot cocoa and arguing with Jiraiya about why Anko wasn't allowed to have kittens. Apparently, Jiraiya was getting fed up with the cat. Naruto had to admit though; he couldn't exactly picture Anko being a good mother. She'd probably end up playing with them like they were rag dolls or something. He looked at her from across the kitchen table and smirked.

The female feline returned the smile, appearing almost suspicious.

Naruto tried to ignore it, but that was short lived when something warm and wet slid across his stomach and left a pleasant feeling creeping along his spine. He squeaked softly before lifting the tablecloth to peer at Genma nuzzling his stomach and purring. "Genma," he hissed threateningly.

The brunette feline looked up at the teen with a mischievous smile and purred louder. He rested his head against Naruto's lap and closed his eyes. He was content with this…for now anyways. His tail curled in and out at his side, lovely images of what Naruto and he were to do later. And that would involve a lot of mating.

"Stupid cat," he murmured almost fondly and started brushing his fingers through the soft brown tresses. Genma wasn't all that bad, not really. The cat had his moments every now and then. You just had to look for them sometimes. Naruto continued to pet the feline affectionately, already forgetting the events that had happened before the startling gunshot.

"So, are you going to tell me, Tsunade-san?" Naruto looked up at her hopefully. "I've been waiting this whole time," he whined.

"Tell him what?" Jiraiya leered. "Did I miss something in the barn?"

Tsunade sighed irritably. "Naruto wants one of Kakashi's pups so he can make a complete family for Iruka."

The blond nodded enthusiastically. "So how many do you have here," he asked again, this time impatiently.

"We have…one," she deadpanned and observed from the corner of her eye how the teen's expression fell almost dramatically, if not comically.

"What?!" Naruto sputtered, startling Genma from his comfortable resting spot.

Tsunade twitched. "That's what I said, Naruto-kun. We only have one and only because the pup didn't turn out how the owner expected. Which is quite surprising actually," she contemplated. "Most owners are so pleased with the results that they don't care anymore if they look like the mother or not. I guess it was the cuteness factor."

"So what's the problem with this one? Why didn't they want to keep Kakashi's pup?" Naruto's forehead creased into a frown, showing his disdain.

Must be one of those 'I'm showing insult for the parent' things like he did at the vet's office, Tsunade mused silently as she took a sip of her cocoa. "The mother was a black German Shepard, the best breeding humanoid canine anyone could lay their eyes on. Well, the owner wanted a white one. But guess what? It didn't turn out that way and so she gave the pup to me, before it was ready to be weaned. That poor pup would cry every night for his mother, even if he slept with us."

Naruto gave a forlorn sigh. "That's horrible. What did you do then?"

Tsunade gave a girlish giggle. "Did you know that Kakashi makes one hell of a father if given the chance?"

The teen's eyes widened with disbelief. "You let Kakashi take care of it?"

"Yep, sure did!" She grinned ear to ear and so did Jiraiya. "The pup didn't cry anymore when he was left in Kakashi's care. Hell, the old dog wouldn't allow anyone near the pup until he was old enough to walk. But after we waited, we had to place him with the other pups and kittens so we could get rid of them. Kakashi's been in a funk since then, that's why I was surprised this morning…"

"Yesterday," Jiraiya interrupted. "It's past midnight," he explained with a chuckle.

"Okay, yesterday," she corrected herself with a huff toward her husband. "That's why yesterday I was surprised that Kakashi took to Iruka so easily. He seemed quite offended and put out when he realized the pup was taken away from his mother so soon. I've never seen a sadder humanoid."

Jiraiya hummed raggedly from fatigue. "There's nothing stronger than a bond between a father and son." His eyes closed, as if he was about to fall asleep, but then he straightened up and finished the rest of his cocoa with one go. "I'm headin' to bed. I'll take you home tomorrow, Naruto. How's that sound?"

"Uh…Yeah. Sounds good." Naruto smiled weakly at the man before looking at Tsunade. "I guess I'll go to." He scooted his chair away from the table and watched as Genma immediately leapt to his feet to start heading down the hall to their room, or what the feline considered their room. Naruto didn't seem to mind though. He appeared to be more forlorn than happy-go-lucky now, especially after hearing the news about Kakashi's pup. Genma sensed this and settled with cuddling up to the blond and nuzzling him. Naruto found it comforting and allowed the humanoid to stay with him for the night.

Tsunade followed afterwards. She made sure that Kabuto was settled on the couch across from where Anko laid. "And I better not wake up to find you two screwing like…well…rabbits."

Both humanoids gave an appalled expression at the thought and watched as she retreated down the hall to her and Jiraiya's room. They then gave each other a glare before flipping their backs to one another and falling asleep.

XxX

Naruto giggled drowsily when he felt something tickle his chest and blearily noted that his shirt was pulled up to his chin and a cool breeze was blowing against his skin, causing him to shiver. "No more…" He finally opened his eyes and peered down at the culprit ruining his pleasant dream…which actually involved what the other was doing now and a certain humanoid. He shot up from his pillow and hastily pushed Genma away. "Stop that," he exclaimed with a glare and yanked his nightshirt back down.

Genma mewled indignantly and returned the glare tenfold. How was he supposed to claim his mate if he was being difficult about it? Apparently, Genma didn't know that humans weren't supposed to be 'mated' this way. His expression softened as he crawled back up to Naruto's lap and buried his face into the other's neck, causing the teen to blush furiously.

"Damn it, Genma," Naruto growled, but didn't push the feline away. He hated to admit it, but he kind of liked the attention he was getting from the humanoid-feline. He reached up warily and tweaked Genma's ears affectionately.

The feline gave a purr that was almost loud enough to resemble a motorcycle.

Naruto chuckled and moved his hands down the other's back to enjoy the feel of the tight muscles and how the sides of his chest rumbled from purring. It all felt remarkably good. "Keep doing that and I'm going to have to take you home."

Genma's head shot up to that, his tail standing straight up and his purring erupting louder. He leaned forward and affectionately licked the blonde's lips, gradually coaching them to open. That didn't take long, as his tongue slipped into the teen's mouth and started to explore it eagerly.

"Mmm," Naruto hummed in desire. The little voice, which was Jiraiya's again, returned. It was alright. This wasn't going to hurt anyone. He returned the kiss, shyly touching the other's tongue and then sucking on it. This was more than alright…

The bedroom door suddenly swung open, causing the teen to push Genma away and accidentally knock him onto the floor with a 'humph.'

It was Shizune. "Good morning, Naruto. Breakfast is ready…" She then noticed Genma sprawled out on the floor and looking for all the world like she had something to do with his position. She ignored it and smiled. "Your breakfast is ready too, Genma." She then shut to the door behind her and left.

Naruto waited until he couldn't hear her footfalls and climbed out of bed to help Genma up. "I'm sorry," he whispered with a blush. Why was he apologizing? It wasn't like Genma would remember it after three minutes. And as if accepting the apology, the feline tackled the blond to the floor and planted kisses all over his face. Laughter filled the room as they rolled on the floor playfully.

When they were finally both cleaned and dressed, they headed for the kitchen, only to be met by two new guests. Itachi, who must have just come home that morning, and Kabuto. Itachi appeared ruffled, which Naruto couldn't picture for an Uchiha. He had bandages wrapped around his left shoulder and right leg where he was bitten.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked out of concern, and wasn't expecting the surprise on the other's face when he looked up.

Itachi looked like he was about to pass out. His skin was paler than usual and dark rings had formed under his eyes. He looked away from the blond, as if realizing he revealed too much and then gave a curt nod.

Naruto smiled at him before entering the kitchen to sit across from Tsunade and grabbed the plate already made for him. "Will Itachi-san be all right?"

It was Shizune who responded. "Yes, he just had a bit of a shock when he woke up in the hospital. He wanted to come home and check on Kisame urgently." She sighed as she looked at the said man sitting in the living room staring down at his half-empty plate of bacon and eggs. "He'll be fine though."

"How's Kisame? I didn't see him in the tank last night." He noted how Itachi flinched when the shark's name was mentioned.

Shizune frowned. "He...He'll be alright too. He injured himself hitting his head against the coral he sleeps under. There was a big gash on the back of his head."

"Ouch," Naruto cringed. "As long as he'll be alright I suppose."

Tsunade looked up as Genma took a seat in between Naruto and Anko. "You two seem to have grown closer," she smirked pointedly at the teen and Genma.

The blond flushed as he looked over at the male feline who was too absorbed in his own meal to even care about the conversation. "I guess you could say that," he muttered. He then tried to look distracted until he realized someone was missing. "Where's Jiraiya?"

"Oh," Tsunade started. "He went to get Iruka and Kakashi for you."

"Can they come with us to get the pup?" Naruto asked, practically bouncing in his seat like an eight ear old.

She chuckled. "I suppose so. I'm sure Kakashi will be happy to see his son again."

Just as Naruto finished his breakfast, Jiraiya entered the house with Kakashi and Iruka in tow. Iruka had on a new set of clothes that looked a little too big, but suited him in a way. Kakashi only wore jeans, as if proud to show off his chiseled chest. His hands were buried in the pockets of his pants, looking a bit bored, but seemed interested in the new surroundings as well. His attention was diverted when Iruka let out a happy mewl as his owner approached him. He gave Naruto a tight hug and buried his nose into the soft blond locks.

Naruto laughed. "That tickles, Iruka."

Kakashi looked torn between greeting his new owner with equal excitement or just letting the blond come to him first. He wasn't usually the loveable type…except when it came to Iruka. He snorted, as if that decided it and went to exploring the house. The smell of unfinished food led him to Itachi and he leaned over the Uchiha's shoulder with a hungry gleam in his eyes.

Itachi growled in irritation when he realized the silver-haired canine was staring at his food. He pushed the plate over his shoulder to Kakashi and stood up. "I'm going to check on Kisame," he grumbled and started to limp outside, only to be stopped by Shizune's hand on his uninjured shoulder.

"Remember what the doctor said. You shouldn't swim with those wounds," she warned softly and then shuddered at the glare she received. "I'm just warning you."

The Uchiha sighed irritably before nodding and leaving.

"Well," Tsunade called. "Let's get the pup and send you guys home."

Naruto nodded. "Okay!" He looked back at Iruka who was being lovingly fed strips of bacon by Kakashi. "Come on you two."

Iruka purred as Kakashi licked his lips clean and then looked up at his owner. He mewled softly before following.

Kakashi looked a bit put out and showed it by frowning and whimpering. He wanted to taste his mate more, but he eventually started to follow as well, albeit reluctantly. His mate was still in heat and if it would help to move things along faster, then he would do anything Iruka wanted. He enjoyed mating with the feline. His hot tight body clinching around him and…Okay, that's enough of that or otherwise Kakashi was going to pounce his mate right then and there!

For right now he would have to settle with nuzzling and stroking to keep Iruka's heat stimulated. This was going to be a long day!

…To Be Continued…

A/N: Muh!! Oh boy! This fic is still continuing. I don't know whether to be scared or excited, because the next chapter will be about Naruto and Iruka meeting Kakashi's pup! Awe!! –is definitely excited- XD I guess Karasu is going to make his reappearance. 3

I got a lot of reviews about Kabuto the bunny. Lmao! Those were funny. XDD And as you have noticed, I did not kill him. I know most of you wanted me to and I was debating on it, but I really didn't want Orochimaru to throw a fit and try to destroy the world along with his best friend and wife. So, I settled with just semi-brutally injuring him. Lol!

Crazy person…. When does Naruto get to take Genma home?? Hehe that's what I'm looking forward to. Hehe, naughty…
