Sasuke's POV

Team Kakashi was on an escort mission. They were walking a feudal lord to AmeGakure. Sasuke walked on the right, Sakura just opposite of him. Kakashi was in front of the carriage, and behind them was a large fox. It looked intimidating, like it would kill you before you could take two steps.

Naruto was obviously grumpy today.

Sasuke sighed, this mission was boring. The village still refused to recognize team Kakashi as their strongest Ninja team. The fact that Naruto and the Kyuubi had merged was not kept as secret as it would have liked to have been. The council had a corinary, it was only by sheer luck that Tsunade could calm them down.

He rested his hand on the hilt of his sword and yawned, earning a questioning whimper and a small glance from the fox behind him.

"It's nothing, Dobe." Sasuke sounded flat and emotionless. The fox growled, but not threateningly.

He continued on silently. It was still a good 2 days to AmeGakure, and it was getting dark. The 'Lord' was tired, and it didn't go unsaid with all of his whining.

"Alright, guys, let's stop here and rest." Kakashi jumpred down into a small clearing. It was only about 20 yards around, but it was good everyone set up camp, Naruto sat back and watched grumpily. He wasn't allowed to help, because a 'pretty man with ears and a tail would scare the client'. He huffed. and Sasuke smirked.

He walked over to the fox and sat, patting his head mockingly. "Good boy, Kyuu." Sasuke smirked as the fox snapped at his hand, and turned away to grumble.

"Naruto." Sasuke didn't sound mocking at all. The fox turned back, still spiteful.

"You know it's for the best. You don't have to brood like that."

The fox stared for a long moment, the chuckled. After which he couldn't help but roll over and laugh, atleast, that's what it sounded like. Behind Sasuke, the other two were trying not to giggle.

Sasuke huffed, and got up to finish setting up his tent. The fox followed behind him at his heels.

"That's a lovely creature there. Is it yours, younge man?" The Lord, Iwamatsu, had been watching Naruto thoughtfully. The fox ducked behind Sasuke's legs and growled alittle.

"No, my lord," Kakashi answered. "That fox is our team mate."

"Oh, really? How does that work? It's just a fox after all..." He didn't look like he meant it insultingly. The fox looked up at Sasuke from the side, grinning. What was he doing?

Naruto walked over to the lord, careful to be as graceful as possible. Sasuke watched, awed, as Naruto rolled onto his back and pawed the air above his head cutely, delicate whimpers making their way up Naruto's throat. This time, i think he knew how utterly adorable he looked.

The lord laughed as Naruto's team watched in shock. Did Naruto just do that?

"How adorable! How much is she? I simpley must have her."

Naruto's eyes widened and he stood, shaking out his fur. She? He looked around at his teammates to see if anyone would correct him, only to sigh when they just stared. He walked over to Sakura and nudged her leg, a simple way of telling her to get back to work.


It was morning, and Naruto woke Spooning Sasuke. Had he come into his tent in the night? He looked down to discover he had changed back while sleeping. Sighing, he began to pull his hand out from under Sasuke, only to have him turn and look at him. They looked at eachother for a long moment. Sasuke could feel Naruto pressed up against his butt, and how very happy he was. Naruto could feel the heat eminating off of Sasuke. They just stared, until Sasuke got up.

"I'm going out to get food, I'll be back in a while."

Naruto nodded, just sitting there, until Kakashi walked in.

"Naruto?" He blushed under his mask when he walked in and saw the blonde naked. Naruto just sat there like nothing was wrong. Being an animal will make you that comfortable with nudity.

"Er... Yea, be sure to change before coming out. I'm sorry but I won't have you scaring Iwamatsu."

Naruto sighed. "Of course, Kakashi." He yawned and leaned forward, arching his back inward as he stretched. Again, he felt a small tremor, and suddenly, he leaned back on his haunches and smiled. He watched Kakashi shudder, and followed him out.

He froze as the outside air hit him. What was that smell? He whimpered, biting at Kakashi's pants. The jounin looked down to see the fox unusually tense, looking around.

"Sasuke! Sakura!" The two ninjas apeared in front of him immediatley. "Scan the surrounding area, something's up." The two caught site of Naruto, Fidgeting and whimpering. "Hai!"

Naruto stayed beside the Lord's feet, laying down. "Hey there girl? Is something the matter?"

Naruto looked up, and it was clear the man was terrified. He yipped and licked the man's cheek, trying to calm him. His tension was like an annoying itch to the fox.

"Awe, isn't that sweet, boys? The man's got a girlfriend." Naruto sweatdropped, but was alert. The men in front of him had weapons, he assumed they were bandits.

He stood, legs apart, and growled, every single hair standing up. His lips were pulled back, showing razor shap canines. The bandits hesitated, but came closer. Naruto snarled, and twitched. Were they stupid enough to confront him?

"We ain't scared of no Girly DOG!" The bandits laughed, and Naruto snarled once more, lunging at the head bandit, latching onto his throat.

The bandit screamed as he fell onto his back. Naruto stood on his stomach, tearing out his throat, chewing on it like it was meat. It felt so good, he need more.

He turned to the other bandits, who were staring in horror. Naruto started creeping closer, ever graceful as he stalked the terrified men. They screamed, and tried to run. Naruto lunged and caught one's arm, tearing at it, and then the man's chest.

Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke arrived to see Naruto's bloody muzzle right above the dead man's hollowed out chest. He was still tense, and snarling, daring anyone to come closer.

"Naruto..." Sasuke stepped forward, the brave soul, and held out his hand to the fox.

Naruto growled at the ninja. Sasuke stopped, cautious, as he watched his friend crouching defensively over his victim. There was a hint of blood dripping from Naruto's canines.

"Naruto..." Sasuke took another step, having to step over a throatless man in the proccess. Naruto growled again, snapping at him.

"Dammit... Naruto, STOP!"

The fox pulled it's head up and tilted it, his ears leaning to the left. Why was everyone afraid? The look on Sasuke's face made his breath stop short. Naruto walked, actually walked, to sasuke, standing in front of him now. He reached forward as if to grab his arm, but stopped. Sasuke was afraid...

The Uchiha's eyes seemed to bore into the scene behind Naruto. The blond turned, Only to see a man with no stomach. Naruto's eyes widened as the smell hit him... It was intoxicating, but he turned around and stared at the three.

"Sasuke..."

He was silent.

"Sasuke, please... What happened?"

It was Kakashi who spoke next, his voice soft.

"It was you, Naruto... You murdered these men."


The fox was laying outside the tent. They had found Iwamatsu huddled behind a tree, shaking. He was terrified. Naruto wasn't allowed near him right now.

"Kyu..."

He looked up to see sakura, holding her arms, clearly avoiding looking at him. He sighed before she could continue, and turned away. What could she say to make him feel better? ...Or worse?

It was then Kakashi decided to come out of the tent.

"Is he okay?" Naruto whined as Sakura spoke.

"He's fine," Kakashi sighed, "Says Kyu should act more like a lady..."

Naruto grumbled, but looked down ashamed. He got up then and left the two to talk, walking over and laying down beside the cooling fire pit. He sighed as he layed his head down, closing his eyes. He was only half asleep when he felt a cool hand on his head. He looked up to see Sasuke crying gently.

"Good boy, Kyu..."

The fox whined, and leaned up to lick the tears from Sasuke's cheeks. The Uchiha chuckled, and scratche Naruto's ears. The fox seemed to smile, but lurched foreward and whined, high pitch and painful.

"Naruto?"

The fox stopped, smiling, and let it's fur fall away gently. There in it's place, was a beautiful boy, about 19, with hair like fire, and scarlette eyes. Sasuke gasped, but the boy reached up and held his jaw gently, pulling him toward him with ease.

"Sasuke..." Naruto said it with a sly, fox-like grin. Sasuke tried to pull away, but Naruto only held him tighter.

"Naruto, please, let me go." His grin widened, and he pushed Sasuke back, laying on him. He was inches from Sasuke's face, his warm breath carressing his mouth. He sniffed.

"You're attracted to the boy..." His canines pushed on his lip as he grinned wider, causing his mouth to bleed. "Isn't this what you wanted?"

Sasuke struggled, wanting to get away, but Naruto held on, Holding his jaw tighter as he leaned in, his claws digging into the ground beside the raven's head.

"Come now, Sasuke. Don't tell me you haven't fantsized about the boy taking you... ravishing you... going deeper and deeper until you bled... being yours and only yours..."

"STOP IT!" Sasuke kicked and shouted (Uchihas never scream ;} ) pushing Naruto's chest weakly.

"Sasuke..."

Said boy looked up.

"You don't love me anymore..." Naruto's eyes, though red, were sad.

"Naruto..." Sasuke reached up, his hand on Naruto's face. Naruto turned and kissed teh hand, before turning back with a growl.

"It's not Naruto... I am Kyuubi!"

Sasuke managed a scream before Kyuubi kissed him. He struggled, but was pushed to the ground. He could feel hot tears streaking down his face. He also felt Kyuubi's silky red hair curled around them. It burned under the moonlight, and made the demon look ferocious.

Sasuke felt the wight dissapear, and he gasped. Opening his eyes he found 'Naruto' pinned to the ground by Kakashi. Sakura was rushing toward him, worried.

"Sasuke! Are you alright! What happened? We heard you shout!"

But Sasuke didn't answer. He was watching the demon, who watched him back. It's red hair fell around it like fire, hiding everything from site except the Fox-like grin against his pale skin. but behind the grin, the Uchiha could see tears. He turned away, and closed his eyes.
