Wolf Bandit

By: Kaida Matsuki


Chapter 5: Hunting Party

A gasp escaped him as his breath hitched from the searing touch. Naruto could only watch as Sasuke loomed closer and caress him in a way he never thought would bring him such pleasure. It sent tremors running down his spine as he bit the inner linings of his cheeks upon feeling hands on his inner thighs. The look on Sasuke was enough to leave him speechless and stunned.

He could only watch in fascination and frustration as the wolf demon went lower and lower. The building heat grew intense that it was slowly driving him insane. He shivered when Sasuke's hand ghosted near his bottom as he smirked when Naruto madly blushed. He didn't know what was happening, but he was aching for something… Something to quell the heat boiling in the pit of his stomach that he knew only Sasuke could relieve.

"Naruto."

Naruto quivered in excitement at hearing how low his voice was, completely intoxicated by the smell Sasuke was emitting. His body felt anxiously hot, feeling an unfamiliar ache that made him restless and weak. The emptiness that his lower half bothered him like hell.

"You can't escape me."

He wanted more.

Naruto's eyes snapped open, feeling sticky and sweaty all over. He felt dazed and confused as he vaguely recalled his… dream. He shuddered and felt completely embarrassed when his lower half still felt like it was yearning to be… filled. What was that? Why did he feel and smell strange? He didn't understand what it all meant, but he still felt heat race from his neck as he remembered Sasuke in his dream. Looking around in alarm, he breathed a sigh when the wolf demon wasn't around and in his place was his usual sunflower.

"Good morning, Naru-chan."

Naruto jumped and saw Mikoto by the door. He couldn't believe he was that dazed not to notice her enter. He shuffled, hoping his strange scent wouldn't be noticeable to the other submissive. He clutched the blankets closer as he forced a smile. "G'morning, mama."

Mikoto had a sheepish smile as she went to the bed and sat. "Naru-chan, I know this will be uncomfortable to talk about, but bear with me. No one will be able to explain, especially not Sasuke. Even his self-control has its limits. About your dream…"

Naruto blushed hard.

She coughed and continued, "Yes, that. You see, when submissives are near their coming-of-age, they have a dream to prepare themselves. Unlike dominants, submissives are late-bloomers when it comes to sexual desires. What you had is called a 'wet dream', which is similar to what will happen once you're committed to a mate. Usually, these dreams depict who you want to mate with."

Naruto choked.

Mikoto looked sympathetic at his apparent embarrassment. "Try to avoid emitting that scent around dominants because it can drive them… crazy. My pup might not take it well if you were looked at like that. Okay? Now go wash up, I heard they'll take you to a small hunting trip. I'll wash the sheets."

Naruto wanted to be the one to wash the sheets, but a bath would be really nice. He couldn't move though when he could still feel the sticky sensations on his lower half. He glanced at Mikoto and mumbled, "May I have some privacy?"

"We're both submissives here and don't worry, I went through that too." Mikoto smiled. "It's natural."

Why did he think she would comply? Sasuke definitely got his pushiness from her. He squirmed and ran for the bathroom, but not before hearing her words. "Naru-chan, don't forget to rinse yourself properly, especially where you're leaking."

Naruto nearly tripped.


Naruto glanced around, wondering if there was something wrong with him when most were staring at him. He walked faster to match the hunting party's pace as they passed the other village's wolf demons. Did they somehow know what happened this morning? Controlling himself from blushing, he reassured himself he rinsed well. He could fairly tell that most of the scents they were emitting were similar to what irritated him yesterday. Still, it was strange how much were sneaking a peek at him.

Kakashi nonchalantly sidled next to him, looking bored as he commented, "Don't mind them. They just can't stand the way you smell."

Naruto found that even stranger. "Do I smell bad?"

"It's not that. You smell like Sasuke so it just says, no, screams that you're his. They don't like that."

"Why would I smell like him?"

"Either he's rubbing himself on your clothes, which I can't imagine him doing, and it can't be that either since it's also on your skin, or you're sleeping with him."

"We sleep together, but I still don't get it."

"Oh my, Naru-chan, I didn't peg you to be so daring."

"Huh?"

"If you're this innocent, I wonder how you can handle Sasuke in bed."

"We just sleep? What more can we do?"

"Tsk, tsk, you still haven't had your wet dream yet?"

Naruto blushed. Was that what he meant?

"Oh, so you have!" Kakashi teased. "You must be really loved for Sasuke not to lay a hand on you, despite sharing the same bed. It must be torture for him."

Naruto couldn't reply and was mildly curious when Kakashi chuckled. "What?"

"Even now, Sasuke is warning everyone that you're his and to stay back, especially me. Don't get me wrong, he trusts me, but he can smell my scent so he must know that I was teasing you a while ago."

Naruto was amazed. "He can do that?"

"Yup, I taught Sasuke since he was a small pup. Like his brother, he's a prodigy. He can practically tell what every demon can feel with just their scent. He can also mask his when on missions."

"How can you differentiate the smell? I only understand the basics."

"Hmm, it's actually based from observations then you categorize it. Take for example, Sasuke's possessiveness."

Naruto discreetly sniffed the air and found that Sasuke's scent really was around him, but it had some higher amount of mint to it.

"Smell it? When the scent of a demon has a higher amount of mint, it's a warning that means to stay away from their target. In this case, it's you. It's also a scent that shows their possessiveness. In other cases, it could also mean desire."

Naruto blushed.

"Kakashi," Sasuke glared at his mentor. "You better not be teaching him anything funny."

"My, Sasuke-kun, I'm not so sure what you mean by funny." Kakashi sing-songed as his eye closed in an upturned u. "Don't worry, your little jewel's untainted."

Sasuke's eyes narrowed at Kakashi, before checking Naruto and going back to his discussion with another wolf demon. Naruto wasn't able to catch their names since Sasuke pulled him away when they were just about to introduce themselves.

"They're talking about how the hunt will go. Boring stuff actually," a brown-haired demon said and crossed his arms behind his head. "Well, not that it's needed since we're all pros. Freak's just worried with you in the mix."

"Shut up, half-breed." Sasuke warned without looking back.

Naruto looked back between the two, but didn't sense much hostility among the two. He observed the brown-haired demon's face, which had two inverted triangles. It was strange markings. He'd never seen those on any other wolf demon.

"Name's Kiba by the way." The brown-haired demon went on and ignored as their team leader sent him a glare. "Relax! I'm committed. No submissive can possibly replace my Hinata."

The other demon Sasuke was talking to glared at Kiba, which made him cringe. "Stay away from my cousin."

"Haha…" Kiba looked away and grinned at Naruto. "Anyway, that other frigid demon's name is Neji and that's Shikamaru. His name came from the meaning of 'deer' since his mom craved deer meat. While the last one over there is a half-breed like me who's Chouji. Now he can eat a whole deer. Saw it with my own two eyes. Creepy as hell."

"Ahem," a black-haired guy cleared his throat and pointedly looked at Kiba.

"Oh, and that's Shino. He's also a half-breed who really likes bugs. Seriously." Kiba motioned to the silent demon as Naruto stiffly nodded, inadvertently coming closer to Sasuke's side. He'd never been surrounded by so many dominants at the same time. "Anyway, no need to be scared of us. We don't bite. Not like Sasuke will let anyone touch a strand on your head. Heck, he won't even introduce his own pack."

"There's no need."

"See? Cold bastard," Kiba snickered good-naturedly. "You're a fox demon, right?"

Naruto nodded.

"Cool! Never seen one before, just heard of them. I heard they're a pretty mischievous bunch. We're going to best buds if that's the case, unlike these sticks in the mud." Kiba playfully winked at Naruto as they both heard a warning growl from Sasuke. Naruto was starting to like this friendly demon, despite being a dominant. "Hey, wait… If you're his intended mate, wouldn't that make your litter half-breeds? Hah! And here's where Karma comes in! Ha! In your face, Sasuke!"

"I never demeaned half-breeds, mutt. It means you're using only half of your brain cells."

Shikamaru yawned and interceded when Kiba looked confused. "It's just you, Kiba. Uchiha meant you're not using even half of your brain to think."

Kiba still looked confused.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "It means you're an idiot."

"Hey!" Kiba yelled in indignation. "You saying I'm stupid?!"

Sasuke scoffed while Neji groaned as Shikamaru shook his head at his friend's stupidity. Naruto felt like laughing at the question, trying to hold it in as Kakashi softly chuckled.

"Silence, Kiba, we're close to the waterfalls." Shino chided and adjusted his sunglasses.

Kiba crossed his arms and sulked. "You guys suck. You're always teaming up on me. I want another hunting party."

"Feel free to leave."

"Sasuke, it's bad to bully the weak." Kakashi reprimanded in a happy tone. "See, Kiba, I'm on your side."

"You suck, Kakashi."

"Why thank you," Kakashi grinned and winked at Naruto when he saw the blond holding back from laughing. "Let's all have a nice hunt, shall we, puppies?"

"Sensei, we're not puppies anymore." Neji corrected.

"You'll always be puppies to me."

"That's cause you're old." Kiba mumbled and flinched when something came flying past his head.

"Everybody, shut up. We're about to cross." Sasuke coldly ordered. "Remember the initial formation."

"Aye, aye, captain."

"Another sound, half-breed, and you'll find an arrow down your throat."

Naruto gulped upon seeing the exit once more, mentally readying himself. He started to question why he got into this, but he knew how. He had practically demanded Sasuke to teach him of their ways, which was what he's complying with now. After all, what better way to display one's culture than their old traditions? A bloodcurdling animalistic sound echoed as some bird released an ear-splitting screech.

Naruto wanted to go back.

"Don't leave my side."

Naruto released the breath he held upon hearing Sasuke's whisper. His scent around him grew thicker. He noticed that the playful personas of the demons a while ago turned lethal, although they didn't look serious, they appeared to anticipate something. Kiba's grin was feral, Neji's eyes were focused, and everyone else had their ears piqued. Even Sasuke's usual stoic face held a small grin similar to Kiba's, unable to hide his excitement. He'd never been in a hunting party before. Somehow, looking at it that way lightened some of his anxiousness.

A large cougar came in sight and growled at them, baring its large fangs. Naruto felt his fur prickle at the unusually large animal.

"I'm getting first game!" Kiba declared, while the pack carefully circled the predator. Before they could take proper formation, Kiba went too close and the animal turned on him as Kiba's shirt was mauled by the creature's sharp claws. "Ah, shit, that was new!"

Sasuke snorted.

"Kiba's an idiot." Shikamaru yawned and was urged to close the gap by Chouji's encouraging grin. "C'mon, Shikamaru! Let's get more meat!"

"If you get killed, can I feed your share to my insects?"

"Shino-kun, I don't think his parents will appreciate that." Kakashi's eyes looked like he was enjoying the events. "You can always go for Akamaru's share. Kana's been complaining he's been overfeeding that dog."

"Hey, keep Akamaru out of this!" Kiba dodged the cougar's pounce and slashed it with a sword from behind. "Hello? A little help!"

"Oh, here I thought you wanted first game?" Neji rolled his eyes when the animal managed to swipe Kiba's sword away, watching as Kiba wrestle with the predator from being eaten. "Pathetic."

"Stop playing around, half-breed." Sasuke snorted. "I don't want my future mate to see your sorry ass die."

Naruto's head snapped to Sasuke's direction and blushed at being claimed his mate. "Teme!"

"Mah, mah, Naru-chan's starting to get shy. You should learn from Sasuke-kun, Kiba. He really dotes on his little jewel, enough not to let his team mate die." Kakashi teased and Sasuke glared at his mentor, while Naruto looked horrified when Kiba was being pinned down by the large creature. "See? Naru-chan's speechless."

Kiba groaned, keeping his face away from the animal's jaws. "Are you blind?!"

"He's pertaining to team cooperation." Shino nodded and everyone looked at him weirdly.

"Finally, someone who understood my moral lessons." Kakashi chuckled.

"You guys suck!"

After Kiba was saved, they followed the proper routine and a few hours later, Naruto was surprised to discover that there were a number of hidden predators around the village. The pack only diminished some if it proved too many that could bring trouble in the future. It also served as precaution to other demons to stay away from the hidden village. Their remains were offered to Okami-sama as a blessing and later, feasted to give thanks to the animals they've hunted.

The pile was growing and Sasuke decided the hunt was enough, since they've been there till the sun dimmed. They've expended most of their energy in the hunt and were going to spend the rest in bringing their games into the village, until an anomaly appeared.

Snake demons.

"Stop," Sasuke ordered and crouched. His pack obeyed and dropped down, scanning their surroundings. The forest was deathly quiet. "I smell snakes."

Kiba growled low. "Those damn snakes think they can just walk into our territory and leave unscathed."

"Never thought I'd see the day Kiba would use a difficult word," Kakashi chuckled and explained the circumstance to a confused blond. "Remember when I mentioned that there was one demon that killed Okami-sama's lover? It's this clan's deity. They still believe their elders' teaching in retaining their bloodlines pure. They wipe out any half-breed demons in their paths."

"How come I've never heard of them before?" Naruto asked.

"They're banned from being mentioned in any records. It's their earthly punishment. 'There shall be no history for a clan that refuses the future,' was what Mother Nature decreed after killing their deity. In that way, no one shall remember they ever lived."

"That's sad," Naruto frowned.

"You wouldn't say the same if you saw how they kill those who are half-breeds." Shikamaru who always looked bored the whole duration of their hunt, was alert and serious. "They killed countless of demons in the name of their deity and offered it as sacrifices. They killed our mentor after he stopped them from discovering the east border. He wouldn't have died if we hadn't sneaked out the village. We weren't even old enough to join the hunting pack yet. Just harmless pups."

"Shika…" Chouji called out, but made no move to hide his grief. "Asuma-sensei saved us."

Naruto grew silent, unable to say anything in return.

"We need to kill them, before they reach the village." Sasuke said and turned to his pack. "We'll first send Naruto back."

Naruto was taken aback by how they all seemed to agree with Sasuke's decision. He was the only one not moving to comply with the change of plans. He was too stunned. He couldn't believe that Sasuke didn't even blink about taking away another demon's life. "How can you just say that so easily?"

"Because my clan's safety precedes their lives," Sasuke answered with firm conviction. "And you are my first priority."

Sasuke had left before Naruto could say anything, leading the pack. This time Sasuke was at the head of the group, while the pack surrounded Naruto. No one bothered to look at their game and left the pile, moving at a fast pace. Their movements were deathly silent with the exception of the occasional rustling leaves that Naruto tripped. Everything was going smoothly until a sharp whistling sound flew past Sasuke, which he'd dodged at the last minute. "Kakashi, Neji!"

Neji and Kakashi stopped and readied their stance as the others continued to run to their destination. Naruto was alarmed when he realized that they weren't waiting for them. "Why are we leaving them?"

There was no answer and Naruto felt a chill at what it implied, feeling fear crawl his spine. "Sasuke?"

"They're fine, Naruto."

"Why did we leave them?"

Sasuke looked reluctant to answer, but Naruto's voice started to show his worry. "The snakes are catching up. I can't let you get caught in a fight. It's too dangerous."

"Then why only Neji and Kakashi-sensei?"

"Kakashi's fast enough to dodge the arrows and Neji's defense can cover them from the arrows, which gives Kakashi more room to fight."

"Sasuke, I smelled more than ten. Even if they managed to fight them off, they can't dodge all of it." Kiba said, while Shikamaru agreed with his words, "Kiba's right. I'm guessing there were others camouflaging themselves. We should either head back then regroup or someone fast heads back to even their chances."

"That would be you, Sasuke." Shino bluntly stated, knowing that no one would admit it. "We're aware that you want to guarantee Naruto-kun's safety, but as the pack leader, it is clouding your sound judgment."

"I can go back and help them." Kiba offered, but Sasuke remained quiet and pushed forward faster as everyone struggled to keep up with his pace. He suddenly cursed and gripped his sword. "I'll go back alone. I can't let anyone of you fight them so just make sure to get Naruto to the village safe."

"But—"

"Kiba!" Sasuke interrupted and stopped, forcing all of them to do the same. He glared at anyone who questioned his decision. "They're after half-breeds. Call my brother for back-up if you really want to help."

All four of them understood what that meant and nodded in consent. Sasuke threw Naruto a glance, stepping forward. Naruto's cheeks grew warm at how close Sasuke came and how his scent grew alluring. He saw him loom closer as he watched his lips draw near. He shut his eyes and expected the warmth to descend, holding his breath.

"Keep safe."

When Naruto didn't feel anything on his lips, he opened his eyes and saw Sasuke walking away from him. He was shocked by the turn of events and without thinking, he grabbed onto Sasuke's arm. He saw Sasuke's surprised look and caught everyone's attention at the unexpected action, even he was taken by surprise. He shouldn't have done that! They were in a dire situation, and yet here he was stalling him from leaving! He released him and mumbled, "S-Sorry, it's nothing. Just be careful."

"You shouldn't have done that," Sasuke muttered and pulled Naruto's hand, grabbing his waist to pull him flush against him. Naruto's eyes widened and his heart quickened as he waited with bated breath, staring into Sasuke's onyx eyes. He saw it shift down to his lips, heat surged in his blood. He had to stop his urge to lick his lips as the addicting scent was amplified and worsened pleasantly. He watched his lips form a smirk, causing a havoc. He hadn't noticed when his eyes went down to Sasuke's lips. Looking away didn't prepare him when Sasuke asked, "Are you inviting me?"

Naruto was regaining his senses, slowly digesting the question. "Wh-What? Of course not! Is there no other way? Can't I help?"

The air suddenly chilled as the intoxicating scent grew sharp and cold. Naruto felt Sasuke stiffen as he stepped away, his face devoid of emotions. "You can't."

"Why not? I'm also a pure blooded demon. I can help!"

"You'll slow me down."

Naruto flinched at the harsh words and cold tone Sasuke used. It was the first time he was experiencing this from the Uchiha. He looked down and glared at the ground, balling his hands into fists. He refused to press the issue with the time pressing on them. He didn't want to selfishly hold them back because of his childish demands. He was about to concede when Sasuke immediately left without another word. His eyes shot open in disbelief as he growled at being dismissed.

"Let's go," Shikamaru urged him forward when Sasuke's scent disappeared. Naruto nodded and followed Shikamaru's lead, but before they could take any further step, an arrow sliced through the air and was embedded on a tree trunk. The wood's surface started to corrode, leaving a visible hole on the tree. "Run! The arrows are tipped with poison."

They concealed their scents and ran fast, but since Naruto wasn't taught how to move stealthily and to conceal his scent, they were still detected. Rustling leaves and flying arrows were a dead give-away to this fact. Shikamaru glanced to Kiba, letting him know the situation was dire if nothing was to be done. Sooner or later, they would be surrounded and attacked. They needed another group to fend off some of the pursuers to increase the chances of success. Kiba nodded and understood the situation, looking to Shino to signal him of the change in plans.

All of a sudden, the group split and left Shikamaru and Chouji. Naruto was startled by this and was about to stop, until Kiba and Shino ushered him and continued on. He looked back, refusing to completely leave them behind. He didn't feel right with the idea that only he was being brought to safety. "We should help them!"

"Captain's orders are to take you to safety and call for back-up." Kiba shouted and for once, looked grave. "They can handle it."

Naruto was about to argue with him, but out of nowhere Shino dove in between them and raised his sword.

"Kiba!" Shino yelled and fended a large scimitar from slicing his companion. "Go on!"

Kiba cursed and kept a close eye on their surroundings. "Those damn cowardly snake bastards! They're using camouflage to hide themselves."

Disorientation engulfed his mind as Kiba's words flew by his head. He couldn't understand how those snake demons managed to surround them quickly or how they managed to follow them. Things were getting out of control and everywhere he turned looked the same, the forest turning menacing by each heartbeat that thundered within his chest. He gasped when Kiba yelled as he turned back to find him gone.

Naruto's eyes widened, feeling his blood drain at the possibility of what happened to his last companion. He turned back, but stopped. He should call for help. No one else would follow him, being a pure blood. He pushed on, but was alarmed when he noticed scents he didn't recognize. Why were they still following him? He couldn't lead them back to the village. He could put everyone else in danger. He had to mislead them.

Going for an unknown route, Naruto stumbled and injured himself. Feeling his fur and skin scraped by protruding branches didn't deter him from running faster. If only he could shift, but it would also mean that he'd leave his clothes as evidences. Out of nowhere, he became aware of his heavy breathing as he covered his mouth to lessen the chances of being discovered. He checked his surroundings and couldn't see any demons following him, but he could smell them. That was when he smelled something familiar.

"Iruka-sensei?" Naruto gasped, cursing himself when he blurted out his shock. His mentor was close by! He shouldn't lead them to him when they might get cornered, but Iruka was unaware of the events and… he was a half-breed! He couldn't leave him! They would attack him for sure even if he didn't lead them to his way. He sprinted faster, feeling his legs sting from the exertion and duration as he threw caution to the wind to find his mentor. "Iruka-sensei! Sensei, are you there?"

"Naruto?"

Naruto pushed himself faster when he heard him, vaguely hearing his pursuers change course. Suddenly, a body collided with his and he was startled to find a hand pulling him away. He blinked when he noticed who was pulling him. "Iruka-sensei?"

"You idiot! Do you know how worried I was?" Iruka scolded. "Your parents are worried to death because of your little stunt!"

Naruto nervously looked around, hoping that all this scolding wasn't being tracked by their pursuers.

"Where were you?" Iruka slowed and Naruto was panicking when they made a full stop. "Do you have any idea how many days it's been since you were declared lost? What are you doing here?"

"I'll explain later." Naruto muttered in a rush, pushing his mentor to move as he stubbornly stayed in place. "For now, we need to run."

"Run? Why do we need to run?" Iruka was lost. "If it's about those bandits, the guards have handled them."

"Bandits?"

Iruka nodded and said, "They came out of nowhere and started to kill some of the guards with poisoned arrows. Probably aiming for the carriage's cargo."

Naruto's eyes widened as he was now dragging his bewildered mentor. "We need to go!"

"We should be going back to the carriage." Iruka insisted, resisting Naruto's pulling. "The carriage is waiting for us."

"Those aren't mere bandits, Iruka-sensei! Those were snake demons, and they kill half-breeds!"

"Correct."

Naruto stopped and pulled Iruka beside him, snarling at the snake demon that showed in front of them. He scanned the forest and felt his skin prickle, somehow knowing that they were slowly being surrounded. He looked back at Iruka who still looked disoriented by the sudden events. He couldn't let them have him. He considered Iruka as family! There was no way he was handing him to them.

"One half-breed," a snake demon hissed his glee and raised his scimitar as Naruto noticed arrows' glinting towards them. He vaguely heard Iruka try to reason with the demons and heard their sadistic laughter, as if his words were petty. "Let the purification begin."

Goosebumps rose at the implication of those words as the air became harder to breathe. Yellow eyes rendered them immobile and speechless. The deafening silence of the forest reflected the internal scream of Naruto's conscience as everything moved slowly in those few seconds. He watched arrows released from its bows and oddly remembered his fascination when Sasuke had killed the deer. The grim situation sank in.

They were being hunted.

Preys.

It came too fast. The blinding fear and the overwhelming silence overlapped and crashed together. Without realizing it, Naruto was hit. He watched in frightening awe as an arrow pierced through his skin, but all of a sudden be gone as soon as he blinked. He didn't have the time to ponder if he'd seen an illusion when Iruka suddenly pushed himself in front of him and took most of the arrows. His eyes widened as he paled, his lips quivering in a silent scream that refused to come out. He watched in horror as his beloved mentor coughed up chunks of blood, seeing his veins protrude against his brown skin as the poison slowly corroded it, until he fell.

Naruto grabbed his fallen body and grasped him closely, balefully glaring at the perpetrators as they were surrounded.

"Move," a snake demon commanded, pointing a scimitar to Naruto's face. "Or you're dying with it."

Naruto held Iruka tighter.

"So be it." He raised his weapon high as it glistened under the light, planning to cut them both in one heavy swing. "Let Hebi-sama deliver your souls."

Naruto closed his eyes and shivered in fright.

An animalistic roar resounded within the forest as all eyes fell on the being transforming morbidly. The sounds of bones and skin breaking sent chills coursing down every spine in the demons at the vicinity, until a large black wolf stood proudly after the transformation. Scarlet eyes glinted in madness, sharp teeth snapping in a quick shut, until the intimidating wolf was gone. Screams echoed the forest as blood spurted from various body parts. Chaos ensued when the snake demons regained their senses enough to fight back.

Naruto watched as the large wolf broke the neck of another demon, hearing him growl at the other demons that tried to surround him. His sharp claws were stained with blood as his red eyes shifted from one opponent to another in a frenzy, the archers and warriors were ripped into pieces and dropped in consecutive. The air was filled with the screams of pain and the stench of blood.

A carnage.
