CHAPTER FOUR
Naruto woke with a start. He looked around at his room and knew it hadn't been a dream. The blonde sat up and tried to smooth the fur on his tail and try to calm himself down.
His room now had furnishings in it including a large shelf in one corner, two large dressers and a large bookcase with few books on it and they told him he could fill it up with more books later. Naruto's bed had sheets on it too. There was a white sheet for under the comforter, the color of the comforter was a dark orange. Sasuke had let him pick out his own comforter.
It was 8 o' clock now when Naruto woke up and Sasuke probably wouldn't wake until a little later. He wouldn't be able to wait that long though. Maybe Naruto could try and wake him up now. No, he couldn't take the chance of getting yelled at, or worse, punished. He wouldn't know how Sasuke would 'punish' him.
The fox lay his head back on his pillow. He muttered something to himself about how he wanted to get up. Naruto could smell something down the hall, probably coming from the kitchen. One of the maids might be making something. His stomach suddenly let out a loud grumble, louder than he had ever heard before, even when he had been starved once with a previous owner. He would go and fix something to eat while he waited for Sasuke to get up.
He quietly headed for the kitchen and went in. Naruto knew he could smell toast in the toaster and that made him feel even hungrier. But he paused when he reached the long kitchen table. The person that sat there smiling at him scared him slightly. Sasuke sat at the table holding a cup of tea between his hands and he looked up as Naruto walked into the room.
"Someone's up..." the raven smiled as he set the cup down and stood up. Naruto smiled back at him as Sasuke walked over to him and wrapped his arms around the blonde's waist, pulling him close to him and Naruto blushed at this.
Before either of then could say anything, a loud grumble escaped from Naruto's stomach, causing him to blush even deeper and he could see how Sasuke almost laughed. "And hungry too, I'm guessing..." the raven smiled.
"Possibly..." Naruto said a bit suddenly and he looked away. "What's w-with all the h-hugging all of the sudden?" Naruto questioned and looked up at Sasuke. The raven said nothing.
"I can't hug you?" he questioned. Sasuke backed off a bit and the blonde looked down at his feet. "I-I didn't say that... y-you're just different from the first day I-I was here..."
The raven was silent now. He sighed slightly and he looked towards the counter, then to Naruto. "Well, I'm sorry you think I'm a lot different..." he said suddenly, then let go of Naruto. "Anyway, I made toast... want any?"
"S-Sure..." Naruto murmured.
Sasuke went and waited for the toast to be done while Naruto sat quietly at the table, watching as the toast jumped up from the toaster and Sasuke caught it with ease, slipping two pieces of toast on one plate and two on another. He grabbed two jars of jelly from the fridge, strawberry and grape, then walked over to the table and set one plate in front of Naruto and sat the jars in the middle along with two knives. The blonde fox stared quietly into space and Sasuke sat down across from him. He waved his hand in Naruto's face. "Thought you were hungry..." he said, trying to wake him from his daze.
He looked up at Sasuke. "Sorry..." he blushed. "I was just... thinking..." he murmured. Something he had forgotten. He knew he was forgetting something... Why was he here? He knew he was bought for some reason. Maybe Sasuke could remind him.
"I thought I forgot something..." he said.
"Like what?"
"I don't know, but it had something to do with you buying me..."
Then it was quiet. Had both of them forgotten the reason he was there? Naruto's ears suddenly perked up a bit and he smiled seductively. He knew why. He remembered what Sasuke and his friends had talked about last night while he was with Lee and Tenten. "I know why!" Naruto smiled his wide grin. Sasuke looked at him with a confused face. "Why?"
Naruto snickered and laughed. "It's your birthday!" he smiled as he took one of the knives and began to put grape jelly onto his toast. "I knew there was something important..." the blonde said. Sasuke laughed a bit. "I can't believe I forgot my own birthday!"
Before Naruto began to eat, he stuck his tongue out at Sasuke is a teasing manner and then took a large bite out of the toast, his ears up in delight and his tail twitched behind him. Sasuke rolled his eyes and said nothing as he began to put jelly on his own toast. Naruto's ears began twitching, not at the sound of them eating, but at the sound of people moving around up above them and someone heading down the stairs.
"What's with all the noise upstairs?" Naruto questioned through a mouthful of toast.
Sasuke looked up at the fox's curiousity. "Oh, above us? That section of the second floor hallway is where my brother, Itachi, keeps his room and his two pets Deidara, a bird, and Kisame, a fish looking man."
This confused Naruto just the slightest. "You have an older brother, Sasuke?" The raven nodded in response. "Sure do. He went out early today. Says he might get another pet. Just let me give you a warning though..." the boy paused for a moment, "Stay away from him."
A confused look was placed on Naruto's face. "Stay away?"
"Yes. Steer clear of my brother. Itachi like to brew up trouble."
"A-Alright... I guess I can do that..."
With that, Sasuke was happy. To show it, he leaned over across the table to place a quick and chaste kiss on the blonde's lips. He sat back down to eat.
"You smell like sweets..."
"That's because I am," Naruto said with a big grin, his face flushed from the little contact.
--o
Why did he have to leave? Naruto sighed and lay on the couch, staring up at the ceiling in the living room. Sasuke's mom had insisted on taking Sasuke to the store to buy some stuff, and of course, to get him away from Naruto. "Shopping?!" he scoffed. Now he was home alone though there were people still in the house as he could hear people upstairs moving around. He knew who was up there... Uchiha Itachi, the raven's older brother, even though he didn't know what he looked like.
Naruto growled to himself quietly. He could hear two sets of footsteps coming down the stairs. Hopefully it wouldn't be Itachi who had come home a little earlier.
"Calm down, girlie. I don't want to have to punish you."
"Oh, you know I wouldn't mind that, Itachi-sama!"
He looked up as two people walked into the living room and stopped to look at him.
"N-No..." Naruto was in awe at who it was. "S-Sakura-chan? Y-You're Itachi's new pet?!"
"Naruto?!" Sakura, the pink cat from the toy house, stood next to a tall, dark haired male. She had a slender pink tail and small pink ears, along with pink hair on her head. The cat wore a tight red outfit that Itachi must have gotten for her.
"Yes, she is my new pet, Naruto, as you are Sasuke's," said the dark haired man, who he assumed was Itachi, set a hand on Sakura's shoulder and the girl blushed slightly, looking up at him. Then she nodded to Naruto. "Sakura-chan, why don't you go upstairs and I'll be right up." Sakura had no choice but to obey as she nodded and headed for the stairs.
Itachi watched Naruto as the fox sat up to look at him. "D-Do you need something Itachi?"
The blonde watched as Itachi shrugged and walked toward the couch. Naruto inched toward the other side of the couch to let Itachi sit down. The man stared at him with a certain interest. Naruto watched him warily and his tail twitched madly. Itachi moved so he was sitting next to the fox Naruto sat frozen to the spot. He was too close, now.
"You like Sasuke?"
"...Y-Yes..."
"That's good. Just to let you know, Naru-chan, if you need to talk to anyone sometime, or if you need to see someone, I'm here." What was Itachi trying for? Naruto felt a little confused as Itachi put his arm around Naruto's shoulder. He didn't move, but he glanced up at the coal-haired man with his eyes.
"Just remember that alright?"
"I-I will..." Naruto murmured as Itachi got up and went to leave. He smiled at Naruto. "I think Sasuke ototou is home..."
--
It was a full welcoming party when Sasuke got into the house. Naruto literally tackled him and made him drop all the bags he was carrying for his mother. When Naruto was finally pried off of him, Sasuke sighed and smiled at him. "You act like I was gone for years!"
"It seems like you were!" the fox whined.
"Well, I wasn't," Sasuke laughed as he stood up. The blonde gave him a big grin. "I know!" he giggled and helped Sasuke pick up the bags and take them into the kitchen. They set the bags down and Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand in his and began to pull the blonde toward the stairs. The fox was tripping over and over on his feet as they headed up the stairs. "W-What are w-we doing?" he questioned his owner. "To my room," Sasuke answered.
He was slightly confused by Sasuke's mood. And he was allowed in Sasuke's room? Really; that seemed impossible to him. They got to his room and Sasuke pulled him inside, leading him over to the bed. Naruto had panic written all over his face.
"No! N-No!" he attempted to pull away from Sasuke, but he failed. The raven pushed the blonde down onto the bed, standing over him.
"Something wrong, Naru?"
"Y-Y-Yes!" the blonde growled, struggling, trying to push Sasuke away.
"What is it?"
"Sasuke-sama will just use Naruto and then get rid of him!" he said his sentence in third person as he panicked, pushing against Sasuke's chest, but failed. Sasuke quirked a brow and gripped one of Naruto's hands gently. "No I won't," he murmured.
"Sasuke will get rid of Naruto!" he growled. The blonde was in such a panicky mood right now. It was odd to see him like this, though Sasuke hadn't had him long.
"I swear I won't get rid of you..."
Naruto's blue eyes were glazed over in fear and pain. "He'll get rid of Naruto and he'll be abused again!" the fox sniffled.
"Calm down Naruto!" Sasuke said and then he kissed him, trying to snap Naruto out of it. It worked for a second, and then he began to struggle again. The blonde began to lie still then, and he began to talk again. "Why did they take her away? They took her away from me..." Naruto whispered. He had his blue eyes closed tight. Sasuke was confused now. He had no idea what he was talking about.
"They took mother away..." Naruto whined. His fox tail was wrapped around Sasuke's left leg. "I don't want to lose anyone else..." he whispered. The fox was so defenseless as he lay beneath Sasuke. Then, the raven sighed and got up to sit on the bed next to him, pulling the blonde onto his lap and hugging him close to him.
"Shh..." Sasuke murmured and kissed Naruto's forehead.
"Why?" he sniffed and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist.
"It's all a memory Naruto. It's alright. I won't let anyone take you away and I won't leave you. You will never be alone. It's all a memory..." (A/N: mood swings?)

Y- Journal Entry 2-
THESE PETS ARE GETTING so popular. So many people have them and it's just cruel. The poor things have to wear collars and leashes like they're animals that might run away. I wouldn't blame them if they did. Pets aren't allowed to love anyone, especially their owners. It's like they can't love anything. I've only seen the case a few times and that's all. Not many toys fall in love since they are usually broken or just used too many times.
-o-o-o-
I've fallen in love with the most beautiful girl. But there is one problem...
She's a toy.
It's just, I met her once and I fell in love. It was like magic happened. Yet, I don't even know her name. Another problem is that she is owned by a friend of mine. He says it's odd, but that if he ever sells her, he'll give her to me for free.
Here's a quick description of her: This girl is a fox, and I know she has the softest fur out of all of them. Her hair is a red-brown, the same color almost as her ears and tail. Her eyes are a bright teal, or maybe a light aqua. They always seem to change color with her. Her eyes are too difficult to describe, but they are so beautiful that you could drown in them. The dark clothes she usually wears make her fur and hair stand out so much. That red-brown hair frames her face so perfectly! I don't know how to describe her anymore.
All I know is that:
I'm in love with a girl.
-o-o-o-
My best friend finally gave her up. She's now mine to keep and she confessed her love to me as I did her.
Her name is Kushina.
OoOoOoOoO
