Ore Wa Kimi No Mono
Chapter 7 – My Saviour
Itachi growled and pinned Naruto's hands down, determined. "Even though he's worthless and good for nothing? How can you love him?"
Naruto's wet blue eyes looked up at Itachi with sadness, "I can't explain it, Itachi-Sama, but it feels right when I'm with him... I feel safe and comfortable... and his scent is unbelievable! I don't care if he had a mate before. What matters now is that he loves me," Naruto felt confidence grow with each word and he felt himself struggling to get away from Itachi.
"Who are you trying to convince, Naruto? Me or yourself?" Itachi kept his hold on the poor Kitsune, making it impossible for the boy to escape him. Naruto noticed this and stopping squirming, only to yank and pull at his hands.
"Please, Itachi-Sama. This isn't right... you don't smell right to me," Naruto's fox ears folded down against his head and scrunched up his nose as if to help prove his point.
Itachi ground his erection against Naruto's and waited for his reaction but it never came. The poor boy was so concentrated on freeing himself that he wasn't even hard anymore. It was here when Itachi realized that Naruto might actually be telling the truth about Sasuke. But that didn't matter. Itachi wasn't about to let this little morsel of Golden God to slip through his fingers.
All he had to do was push a little more. A little white lie and Naruto would be his! "Naruto, did you really think Sasuke had you here for any other reason than for entertainment? Think about it. He keeps you locked up away from everyone, he buys you things to make you happy, he's slowly coaxing you into a complete trance... you're only a play thing for him but what happens when he grows tired of you?"
Naruto stopped struggling so Itachi continued, pushing the lie so it was seeded and growing doubt well within the boys mind. "All those things he does for you... it's to keep you happy and content so you don't rebel or say anything against him... he's lulling you into a false sense of security..."
"No. No Itachi-Sama, I love Sasuke!" Naruto arched his back and lifted his hips, throwing Itachi off balance. Naruto took the opportunity to push more and topple Itachi over. Once the wolf was off of him, Naruto dressed as quickly as he could, not bothering to put on his jacket as bolted for the door.
"Naruto! Don't!" Itachi tried his best to chase after the fleeing fox but couldn't. Well... 1- he was still naked and 2- Naruto would be running to Sasuke and if Itachi followed, Sasuke would see him and know instantly what was going on. So Itachi grumbled and slowly redressed himself.
The opportunity would come again. And next time, Naruto would not be able to turn Itachi down. The last surviving Fox Demon was going to be his if that was the last thing he ever did! And Sasuke would crumble. Yes... Sasuke would fall apart and that in itself was Itachi's goal.
Stupid little brother... finding something to get attached to... had he not yet learned?
...
Panting lightly, Naruto arrived back in Sasuke's room safely. Though no precaution was too great. He locked the door behind him, tossed his clothes in the dirty hamper and nearly drowned himself in hot water, trying his damndest to wash Itachi's strange scent off of him.
By the time his skin was raw from scrubbing and he was in tears, Sasuke had come back and entered the bathroom.
"Hey, Naru. How was your day?"
Only silence answered the black wolf. The water turned off and Naruto's hand poked out to grab a towel. "Naruto... are you ok?" Sasuke furrowed his eye brows nervously and he waited. Finally, Naruto emerged, towel around his waist and his tanned skin was bright red and irritated.
"Naruto, what happened?" Sasuke reached for the fox. The Kitsune didn't need much prodding before he leaped into Sasuke's arms and burst out in tears and incoherent sobs and speech. Feeling slightly put out, the wolf led the fox to the bed and sat the crying demon down, trying to comfort him. "Calm down, please tell me what happened?"
Naruto sniffed loudly and tried to stop the constant cascade of tears, "P-promise me you won't get mad at me... I d-didn't let him, Sasuke, I really didn't..."
Sasuke's heart dropped through his stomach and he could already take a guess as to where this was going but regardless he promised and encouraged the boy to continue.
"I uhm... I sneak out sometimes... I get so bored so I went to the bath houses and accidentally ran into Itachi-Sama... he was nice and invited me for lunch today... but he started saying such horrible things about you and convinced me to go to his room..." Naruto paused, slightly afraid to continue. Sasuke stayed silent however and only waited for the boy to finish so he took a deep breath and closed his wet azure eyes.
"He... he was telling me that you already had a mate and said she passed away... he told me that I was your play thing and that we wouldn't be mates until..." Naruto blushed lightly but kept going, "Until we had sex. He said he wanted me to be his mate... He tried..." Naruto looked at Sasuke desperately.
"Please don't be mad with me, Sasuke... I didn't let him... I told him I loved you and I pushed him away and ran here as fast as I could and scrubbed myself so I didn't smell like him anymore..." the dark look on Sasuke's face made the Kitsune stop breathing for a moment and made him sob even harder than before.
"Please... I don't care if I am your plaything... I love you Sasuke... I hate being away from you and I hated being near him... if you... don't want me anymore could you please kill me? I don't want to live like this..." Naruto sobbed, staying out of Sasuke's reach in case the wolf was actually mad.
"Oh, Naru... I could never hate my mate..." Sasuke gently wrapped his warm arms around Naruto and pulled the boy against his chest. Happy, Naruto instantly wrapped himself around Sasuke. "You aren't a 'plaything'... far from it. You are so special to me in every way. I never had a mate either... everything Itachi told you was a lie, ok? I'm proud of you for fighting him off..."
It wasn't long before Sasuke calmed Naruto down enough to get more details from him. By the end of their conversation, Sasuke was fuming at all the lies Itachi had said and the things he had done. How dare he? Laying hands on Naruto, pitting him against Sasuke? Unforgivable. Sasuke wanted to go deal with his brother but Naruto wouldn't let him, clinging to him desperately.
"Sasuke, please..." Naruto pouted and begged. The only thing to do was to give in! Naturally. How could anyone refuse that pleading face, imploring eyes, folded ears and swishing tail? "I don't want to cause any more trouble. I promise I'll listen to you and I won't leave your room again!" Naruto pouted.
"Naruto, it isn't fair of me to keep you locked up like this. So, you know what? Get dressed. We'll go out today."
"But, you're normally disappearing this time of day, Sasuke... You're always gone."
"Yes but that can wait. I want to spend some time with you, alright? Get dressed."
Naruto obeyed and dressed in a different outfit from before. This time he pulled on a white, long sleeve shirt and pulled on a black long sleeve shirt over it, folding the black shirt up to his elbows and leaving the top slightly unbuttoned to see the white underneath. Then he pulled on a comfortable pair of loose black trousers that were a bit big and rode low on his narrow hips. To finish the look, the blonde pulled on a pair of white boots.
Sasuke thought he looked delectable and yummy. Satisfied, he pulled Naruto out of the room and held his hand as he walked down the hallway, down the stairs and out of the Uchiha mansion. Being outdoors again was a comfort to the fox and Sasuke could feel all the tension from Naruto release and at the fresh air and sounds of the village surrounding the mansion.
This time though, was different than the last time Sasuke had taken Naruto out to the village. Instead of jeers and name calling and attackers, people smiled and waved, came up and asked how they were doing. Naruto was shocked to say the least. It was amazing what Sasuke could do! What a few words could do!
He welcomed them happily and chatted like there wasn't a care in the world.
And that made Sasuke happy.
What he wouldn't do for his fox! Naruto actually felt safe enough to let go of Sasuke's hand to go and sit with some elderly ladies and talk. This said much. Sasuke stayed close of course and watched carefully but really there was no need. He'd never seen Naruto so happy and that brought a gentle, admiring smile to his pale lips.
He lost himself watching Naruto until one of the senior ladies spoke.
"My my, it really is a shame my dear! You being the last fox demon and all... I remember back when Foxes and Wolves used to battle over this territory. The Fox demons were really cunning, kind and gentle but in battle they were the fiercest and most loyal and determined fighters I've ever seen! You must be proud of your heritage, boy!"
Naruto looked at her with wide blue eyes. "You remember when they were here?"
"Well yes, an old crow like me should, dear. Proud family they were. Till about 15 years ago... No one really knows what happened to them, they just sort of disappeared. Real shame if you ask me. Them Fox demons were very well built and such caring creatures," the woman sighed wistfully, her green eyes hazy with memories of a long forgotten past.
"What happened?" Naruto asked eagerly, his ears perked up and tail not even daring to move as he waited for the tidbit of information.
"Well, not quite sure to be honest, love. The battle for dominance between the wolves and foxes suddenly ended because they were going to make a treaty. A pact to share the land and just divide it. It sounded like a good idea at the time really. Everyone agreed. But when the day came to have the delegates and leaders sign the treaty, the foxes never showed up. People say they got scared and ran with their tail between their legs. Some say they lost interest and left us to our fates with the Wolves. Others believe that the Wolves snuck into their homes and night and slaughtered them while they slept. No one really knows dearest."
Naruto's blue eyes lit with hope and he leapt from his chair. "Sasuke! You must have a library or an archive of what happens here in the village and its history. Would this be written down?"
Sasuke shrugged and shook his head, signifying that he didn't know any more than Naruto or the others did.
Naruto didn't give up. "Let's go ask around ok?" he grabbed Sasuke's hand and pulled him back to the mansion, his heart pounding so hard against his chest that it hurt. But if there was hope that he had family somewhere, he wasn't going to stop till he found them.
