chapter 4: The Encounter

-Sasuke Pov-

"Itachi i can go out by myself you don't need to follow me everywhere you know!" Sasuke argued, What happened is Sasuke said he'd go out a look for a mate today, but his parents didn't see him smart enough to go himself, so now Itachi is currently stalking him through the village town.

"Otouto i think we both know thats not true. Mother and farther sent me because they know you scare off any and all potential mates." Itachi countered, now that just stupid, he been trying to scare off annoying wanna be mates for the past 16 years! and not once did ANY of the them stop stalking, following and in most cases chasing him. No matter how many death threats he threw at them, not a single person budged. Male or female, and he had a fair share of both.

"Whatever, cant you just say you did and go to some bar or whatever it is that you do?" he questioned maybe if he asked nicely enough he would be able to wonder around on his own.

"No brother, what kind of brother would i be if i did something like that hm?" Sasuke scowled at him looks like he wouldn't be able to venture off on his own. "however-" Sasuke' s ears perked up and turned to look at Itachi "-If you was to somehow i don't know, let say 'run away' for an hour or two and returned safely, it would be out of my hands" itachi looked into sasuke's wide eyes, it reminded him of when Sasuke was just a cub and would ask to spare with him.

"really Itachi?" Sasuke hugged Itachi, he didn't care if it was Un-uchiha like, this is the happiest he's been in months.

"now when you finished 'running away' come find me by the river." he pulled the cute little Sasuke off himself, not that he would ever called Sasuke cute his face, he didn't have a death wish.

Sasuke then broke out into a run down the road "Sure Itachi see you then!" he called over his shoulder. 'Yes finally he was by himself, not in the compound, he felt so free. He'd defiantly make it up to Itachi later.

-Naruto Pov-

"kakashi?" he questioned still nothing it had been an hour after what happened, Naruto gave up- for now- and retired to his own bed. the pain had come back and with no one to protect him, it felt even worse, if it came to it Naruto would use his own fighting skills that Kakashi had taught him to defined both himself and Kakashi. he wasn't the worst fighter but was out of practice, he never saw the need for fighting and only learned so that one day if he ever needed he could protect the ones he loved and defined himself.

so Naruto was once again back in bed curled into a ball, clutching his stomach and shaking. Hopefully it would pass soon, the pain was unbearable. Iruka wouldn't be home for another few hours if not longer!

-Back with Sasuke-

Sasuke walked through the crowded streets and he felt as if everyone was fucking him with there eyes. It was disgusting, Then he saw it! The pink blob of hair he'd always tried to avoid!

"Sasuke? Sasuke-Kun it is you!" he looked left and right and established his best exist. he chose left and made a mad run into the forest. he kept running for a good 5 minutes at top speed before he guessed 'IT' wasn't following him anymore.

he was catching his breathe, bent over with his hands on his knees when he smelt. He froze and his pupils dilated. He straightened up instantly and sniffed the air and looked around, nothing just forest, but he caught on to where the scent was. east of here about a 10 minute sprint, so he ran and ran getting more and more excited. 'is this what it was like when he found his mate?' then he stopped. he saw it in the distance a small cottage. He went to take a step and stopped, he couldn't just go in there demanding they become his mate! he took a few deep breathes and composed himself.

Uchihas had a way of doing things and going in demanding someone was not the way they did it. No, they walked in and asked for the farther for his daughters hand. but god damn it, it just smelt so good, it was like a drug! he breathed once more, this time -almost- fully focused he calmly walked over to the house, it didn't look like anyone was home, but he could smell it someone definitely was.

he knocked, no answer. he knocked again, still no answer. he looked around and saw a window. That was where the smell was coming from. If looked in a saw a mess of blankets violently shaking. Worry spread through him were they okay? He jumped through the window and landed with a thud.

the mess of blankets stop shaking for a brief second before the started again, but this time worse than before. And then sasuke heard the most angelic voice. "Who's there, h-hello?" Sasuke could tell this little bundle was scared. He didn't want to scare them even worse.

"Hello, I'm sorry, i knocked but no one answered. Are you okay?" Sasuke asked, he was generally concerned about them.

"N-no, im n-not. Who are you what d-do you want?" they sounded close to tears, if only he could see them maybe he could comfort them.

"Im Uchiha Sasuke, I'm sorry i didn't mean to scare you, is your parents home. Do you want me to get them?" Sasuke asked, all he wanted to do was comfort them, he didn't know them and he never under any circumstances comforted people.

"N-no there… not here. and m-my um… Kakashi was a-attacked." the bundle sniffed, holding back the tears. "I-I'm so scared" At that point sasuke heart just broke.

"Don't be, who Kakashi anyway, why don't you come out from under those covers, and tell me your name, i promise no one is going to hurt, i would never let them." Sasuke sat on the edge of the bed looking at the bundle.

"R-really? But why?" Sasuke's mind was blank, why would he? he know he would but why?

"I don't know myself. But please trust me when i say that i would never let someone hurt you though." there was silence for a while before the bundle spoke again.

"O-okay." the bundle sat up and the covers fell from hair that was brighter than the sun, like golden rays of innocence. as the covers fell lower over there head Sasuke was shocked to find he was a boy, with the bluest eyes he'd ever seen, brighter than all of Neptune's seas, although they looked slightly dull Sasuke could tell he was sick, his skin as tanned and sun kissed as it was had a grey look to it and was covered in sweat. and his golden hair stuck to his face, his ears were pressed firmly to his head. he looked at Sasuke with worried and tear filled eyes, Sasuke could only think how cute his little blonde looked 'what? 'his' but when sasuke thought about it, it only made him happy at the thought of this little fox becoming his, but then again there was this Kakashi person.

"Sa-Sasuke?" the blonde question, Sasuke was so wrapped up in his thoughts he didn't even notice he was starring.

"S-Sorry.. Urm, sorry i don't even know your name." What the hell did Sasuke just stutter, this blonde was doing strange things to him.

"Sorry its N-Naruto." He said, Hm Naruto Sasuke couldn't help but think that name just fit him perfectly.

"Right well Naruto, who's this Kakashi, is he hurt badly? and where are you parents Shouldn't they be here?" Sasuke asked, and Naruto stiffened.

"Kakashi is my um… he and his husband Iruka raised me, since i was 5, he was fighting someone ousted and h-he, was collapsed." Naruto began crying and Sasuke felt his heart practically wanting to jump from his chest and hug the boy. But Naruto beat him to it and grabbed Sasuke by the shirt and put his head in his neck. sasuke was shocked, he'd only just met him and already he couldn't see himself with Naruto's embrace. he was turning soft. meh, he didn't care. he hugged Naruto back and began rubbing circles on Naruto's back and Whispering thing like 'its okay' and no one will hurt him' and it was true Sasuke could easily kill to protect his little Naruto.

-Naruto pov-

Naruto couldn't believe himself he's just met this Sasuke and his was crying on his holder for all Naruto really knew he could be here to kill him! Yet that didn't matter to Naruto, he trusted him enough to cry in front of him. he has had a tough day. and now he didn't have anyone to protect him and he hurt like HELL!

He gathered up the rest of his strength and stopped crying, he let go of sasuke and looked at his, when he looked up he was met with two dark pools of midnight black, Naruto was breathe taken. He was the most beautiful creature Naruto had ever seen. His skin pale and milky white, it looked flawless and his hair looked so soft he wanted to touch it, but knew if he did it might look a bit creepy. His ears were even cuter they were black like his hair and also had a blue edge to the. his tail was swishing behind his it was black and fluffy.

"Naruto.." Naruto was called back from his day dream and looked back at sasuke.

"Yes…?"
