Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto (and not the clichés either)
Pairing: NaruSasu (and perhaps some others too)
Genre: Romance, Humor (hopefully), Parody and Drama
Summary: Sasuke is so in love with Naruto - his hard-on even poked the dobe's spine... too bad he's socially handicapped. Sasuke now has to go through every cliché in the book to make Naruto his... AU-ish, NaruSasu! Featuring: Romance! Drama! Parody! and Humor!
Origin of the fan fiction: I started writing this fan fiction two years ago, but lost my inspiration to continue it. Now however, I've gotten more inspiration than I'm able to use, so I've decided to continue writing this fan fiction, and it's all based on the ideas I got from you guys back in ´09.
:
A/N August 12th: So, earlier this week I went through all reviews and suggestions I've got from you guys, and I can tell that the fan fiction is now fully planned. This means that I will no longer be able to include new suggestions. Also, I said earlier that it was going to be 21 chapters of this fan fiction, but in order to make this fan fiction to move forward and to give you longer chapters, I've decided to put more than one cliché in every chapter. This fiction will therefore be only 16 chapters long, but I promise you; the upcoming seven chapters will be really, really good and I think you will like them all! Sasuke and Naruto are in for one hell of a ride…!
Enjoy!

An Uchiha's Striving
by bevino
To AiKo, Sanity's Sadistic Solace, Blahblah and Azamiko, who all thinks that turning into an animal is a good idea (or maybe not).
Fuzzy and cute
Sasuke was no crazy person, and he hadn't been that since that…episode, a couple of years ago. Ever since then he had been a normal man (however, since he was an Uchiha he couldn't be completely normal since he was just that too good looking and perfect). And Sasuke was proud to be sane. But even though Sasuke knew he was sane, he still intended to keep what he was currently doing a secret from everyone. Just in case they would misunderstand and think that cuddling a pair of underwear was something a madman would do.
He had washed the clothing.
Sasuke buried his nose in the underwear and took and inhaled deeply, and enjoyed the scent even though they didn't smell like Naruto any longer. Sasuke let his hand touch the area that had pressed against Naruto's ass, and he blushed when he put his cheek towards the place that had once (and probably more than once) hugged Naruto's dick.
Sasuke suddenly looked up from his place in his bed and out of the window, to make sure no one was spying on him. It was clear.
Sasuke pulled the underwear and put them over his head.
This is nice, Sasuke thought.
One hour and forty-seven minutes later, Sasuke finally left the bed after neatly folding the underwear and putting them underneath his pillow. He ate a meager breakfast containing a piece of bread and after that he made himself ready for the day and left the apartment.
After yesterday's success, Sasuke was on his way to talk to Naruto. Yesterday, Naruto had kissed him. Yes, Sasuke knew that it was because of the dare. But earlier yesterday, when the thought of kissing Sasuke had seemed repulsive to Naruto, Sasuke had been a little (very) sad. But at the night, Naruto had kissed Sasuke, and then he had certainly not seemed repulsed at all. If Sasuke dared to think that far, he was almost positive that Naruto had liked the kiss as much as he had.
However, when he finally stood in front of Naruto, it was clear that Naruto didn't want to make any time for Sasuke.
"Actually, I'm off to see the old hag, so I got to run!"
"I can walk you there," Sasuke offered, hoping that he could at least get a hint of what Naruto was feeling for him. He didn't however, as Naruto quickly turned him down and dashed off.
Sasuke turned back home, and went back to bed and to the underwear. He hugged them tightly, before he went to sleep again.
Sasuke realized later that day that Naruto was being a tease at the same time as a very, very stupid. He just had to keep on trying, trying until Naruto understood his feelings. He didn't understand why Naruto didn't even want to talk to him.
Perhaps…perhaps Naruto was scared of him?
Not in the way Sasuke had assumed he had been scared of Sasuke when they were younger, that Sasuke could attack him any moment. But perhaps Naruto was getting nervous when he was together with Sasuke, because maybe Naruto liked him as much as Sasuke liked Naruto?
Thought that would almost be impossible, because Sasuke liked Naruto a lot.
If there was perhaps some way to get close to Naruto but not making Naruto nervous? A way that they would be close but with no pressure. Sasuke thought about it for nearly ten minutes when he finally had the answer. He just would have to get Naruto to take care of him when he was in a difficult position. And what better way was there than to transform into a cute little animal that Naruto could bring home and nurse? Sasuke thought long and hard about it, and decided that this was a rather good idea. Who in the world could resist Uchiha Sasuke trapped in a cute animal's body?
However, Sasuke had no idea what kind of animal he would transform himself into. He had to try out a few to test and get a feel of it. And since he didn't feel like doing that kind of stuff in his apartment (in case he decided on a horse or a hippo), Sasuke happily walked out deep into the forest where he was sure no one would come and bother him.
He actually tried the horse idea first, but he quickly realized that a horse was too big. A mini-horse wouldn't do either because… oh, let's face it. Horses were ugly, period. He would not turn himself into a horse, Sasuke the horse decided.
A snake. Snakes was cool. If he were to become a snake, he could hug Naruto really good and he could also crawl along Naruto's sleeping body and maybe find a hole to play with. That actually sounded like a pretty good…right, the whole Orochimaru-thing. Perhaps not a snake, after all, Sasuke the name fumed.
An eagle? Sasuke the eagle shook his head. An eagle wasn't cuddly enough.
Hm. Something cuddly.
With a soft fur.
Sasuke transformed yet another time, and then Sasuke the rabbit tried his paws in the soft grass. This was the best one so far, and he was sure that he was a really cute rabbit. Sasuke jumped up a pond nearby (and it took irritatingly long time to get there) and he looked at his own mirror. He was a very small rabbit, with dark grey fur and big black eyes. His ears were short and they stood straight up, and he had the most petite paws. He sat down on his bum and looked over his furry shoulder, and saw a cute little bushy tail.
This could really work. If Sasuke had seen a rabbit looking like this, he was sure he wouldn't even have the urge to kick it of once. Sasuke the rabbit nodded, pleased with himself. Now, all he had to do was to find Naruto and then try to convince him that he was trapped inside this cute body.
Then he heard a rustling sound and someone talking. He quickly jumped into the nearest bush and masked his chakra. The voice came closer and Sasuke tried to see who it was between the leaves, and when he saw the paws of a giant dog he knew exactly who it was. If Kiba where to find him, he would never hear the end of it. Sasuke the rabbit crept farther inside the bush, and even though he hadn't made a sound he noticed that the dog Sasuke didn't give a crap what it's name was knew someone was there.
"What's up Akamaru? Is it a bird?"
Sasuke saw the big white paws coming closer and a nose big as Sasuke's rabbit head was pushed into the bush.
"Just leave it be, if it doesn't want to play with you," Kiba complained and began to walk away. The stupid dog barked once, twice, thrice, and Kiba stopped dead in his tracks. Sasuke realized that it was time to get away from the pair, but when he tried to run away he was already hanging in the air, the disgusting animal holding him in his tail as he happily trotted back to Kiba. Sasuke's small rabbit body bounced up and down, and when the dog finally stopped he was feeling a little dizzy.
And his tail hurt.
"Well, well, well," Kiba said in a mocking tone. "What do we have here?" Sasuke spun around in the grasp of the dog, and when he was turned towards the dog he tried to swing closer and attack the dog's neck. The white beast growled and in the blink of an eye everything was very dark and very wet. Sasuke heard Kiba's laughing outside the disgusting mouth, but in the fear of being swallowed he stayed put. "Let him out Akamaru. I want to talk to him." The filthy animal spitted him out on the ground and Sasuke never felt as dirty in his life as he did right now. The saliva dripped from his body and his fur was drenched.
Kiba put a humored finger in Sasuke the rabbit's shoulder.
"Why on earth are you a rabbit Sasuke?"
Sasuke knew he had told a lot of people (well, Neji and Sai) about his plan and for a moment he thought about including Kiba. The thing was, he wasn't really fond of Kiba. Not that he liked Neji (especially not after the outcome of Neji's part) or Sai, but there was something about the two of them that made them tolerable. Kiba, on the other hand, was a real pain in the ass. He was loud and obnoxious and ugly. He always smelled like dogs too, and Sasuke didn't like smelly people.
So Sasuke decided against it, and let his rabbit head snap to the side to show Kiba that he ignored him completely. Smelly people did not fit in Sasuke's plan, and that was that.
Kiba only snorted at Sasuke's behavior, and gave a low whistle. Sasuke felt something heavy press against his back and soon enough he was being pushed down into the ground by the dog's paw. Kiba hunched in front of him.
"I assume you want me to keep quiet about this?" Sasuke had had it. Before either Kiba or the white dog could react, Sasuke transformed into his human form and punched Kiba right in the face. Kiba's dog came down from the shock and tried to jump Sasuke, but Sasuke gave him a satisfying kick in the side. The son of a bitch yelped and ran behind Kiba. Sasuke was angry, and he was glad that the animal understood that he was not in play mode. Kiba sat up and with a hand over his eye, and Sasuke knelt in front of him, jabbing his finger into Kiba's other eye.
"I assume that you will keep quiet about this, Kiba, if you want that dog of yours live another day." If Kiba had been able to, Sasuke was sure he would have glared at him. Instead the brunette just growled and leaned against the dog.
"Fuck you, Uchiha," he managed to grind out. Sasuke was pleased, and stood up. It was only then he realized what state he was in, and he made a disgusted face. He refused going back to the village in dog-saliva-soaked-clothes.
"Off with them, Inuzuka," he ordered. Kiba made it clear that he didn't understand with the lack of reaction. "The clothes," Sasuke explained, not patiently at all. And I want all your money, because you just ruined my favorite shirt."
"As if that was your favorite shirt, Uchiha, all of your shirts are blue," Kiba complained in the middle of taking his clothes off, having realized that there was no point getting into a bigger fight with Sasuke. Sasuke wasn't known for letting go of things in the past, so why would he have changed now?
"It became my favorite shirt the moment you ruined it, asshole," he muttered. He waited for about ten seconds for Kiba to finish unclothing, but lost his patience rather quickly. "Oh my lord, do I have to do everything?" He dropped down on the ground again and pulled Kiba's pants off in a very rude manner. Kiba, seeming to be happy about the situation of having the job done for him, relaxed in the grass with his hand underneath his head, much to Sasuke's irritation. Kiba was just asking for a beating.
And it was in that moment Naruto walked in on them.
And disappeared a second after.
Shit, Sasuke thought. He had just missed a great opportunity, with Naruto already walking around in the woods. Perhaps if he hurried, he could still transform himself into a rabbit and catch up with Naruto. Now he even had a lie ready; he could tell Naruto that Kiba and he had been in a fight, and before Sasuke could get away Kiba had put a barrier on him so he couldn't turn back into a human.
Hopefully Naruto wouldn't ask why he'd turned into a rabbit in the first place.
Sasuke hit Kiba in the head and knocked the boy unconscious, and took the rest of the clothing. He pulled of Kiba's pants and T-shirt, and dried his hair off with Kiba's jacked. When he felt somewhat clean, he turned himself into the rabbit again and jumped after Naruto.
Being Sasuke the rabbit had a lot of downsides, and the one Sasuke hated the most was his short legs. He knew rabbits could be fast as hell, but he wasn't used to running (or jumping) on all fours. He also stumbled a lot, and he got caught in the ground and some roots because of his sharp claws. It was a real pain in the ass to be a rabbit.
He caught up with Naruto half an hour later, just when he thought about giving up. Sasuke hadn't even been sure if he was going in the right direction, but when he saw Naruto sitting on a stump with his head buried in his hands, he felt relieved. Sasuke decided to not miss another opportunity, and jumped up to Naruto as cutely as he could, bounding his bum as much as he could. He sat down in front of Naruto, and waited for the blond to see him. Naruto didn't react, and Sasuke nudged his leg with his nose. Naruto let out a surprised yelped and looked down on him.
After a minute of completely silence, Sasuke tilted his rabbit head to the side questioningly. Wasn't Naruto supposed to react in some kind of way? If Naruto had been the one turned into a rabbit and sat in front of Sasuke, at least Sasuke would have laughed at him and think of different ways to mock and bully him. But Naruto just sat there, and Sasuke got annoyed.
Perhaps this was a stupid idea after all? When Sasuke thought about it, it all seemed to be pretty stupid. He had no real reason for being a rabbit, and the only outcome of this would probably be that Naruto would thing he was crazy.
But then something stirred inside him when he saw the way Naruto was looking at him. There was something in the eyes he couldn't really read, but part of it was sadness and confusion, and perhaps a little surprise too. It seemed like Naruto was thinking on something really hard, something that made him feel sad. And Sasuke would be damned if he wasn't the one to comfort the love of his life.
So he tried to get a reaction from Naruto.
First, he nibbled Naruto's pants, and when that didn't work, he nibbled his toe and then gave it a hopeful lick. After that he jumped around Naruto a few times, and then he tried to push Naruto off the stump (in vain, because Sasuke was still Sasuke the rabbit). Sasuke rolled himself into a ball and rolled around on the ground, trying to looks as cute as possibly. When Naruto still didn't react, Sasuke did the last thing he could think off.
He placed himself in front of Naruto in the most seductive position he could think of.
Which was not sexy at all, of course, since he was a rabbit. But he still did it; he lied down on his side, pushed his hip as high as he could and gave Naruto a wink.
Everything went downhill with that blink. For a second everything went black, and something hurt like hell. Sasuke slowly got up again and blinked the dizziness away before looking around, trying to understand what the hell had happened. Apparently, he had been frown five meters away, and Naruto was standing at looking at him, absolutely furious. Sasuke let out a squeak before he could stop himself, and that seemed to trigger something in Naruto. Suddenly red chakra began to flow around the blond, and he let out a scream in agony and bent down.
Shit, shit, shit. That was all that went through Sasuke's mind, before the gigantic fox suddenly stood over him, hovering over the trees. The fox looked around, and from Sasuke's point of view it almost seemed to be in slow motion. A low rumbling growl was heard deep down in Kyuubi's throat, and he sniffed once. The head snapped down and looked at Sasuke, and Sasuke swallowed once before he turned around and made a run for it.
He was still running really slowly, but he pressed all his power into his small legs. Then the ground suddenly quaked, and Kyuubi's red paw was just centimeters away from him. Sasuke felt his heart beat more rapidly inside his chest and he made a u-turn and ran in-between Kyuubi's legs. For a few moments Sasuke couldn't hear anything other than his beating heart, but he continued to run and didn't dare to look back. Then another sound was heard from behind, a rapid, fast sound of running. Sasuke threw a glance behind his shoulder, and saw a much smaller version of the fox demon coming running.
Damn mother fuck.
Sasuke tried to change back into his human form, he really did. But in the middle of running for his life and being slightly dizzy from the punch he had gotten from Naruto earlier, he didn't seem to be able to concentrate enough. There wasn't enough time either, because Kyuubi was getting closer and if Sasuke changed now he would only get jumped from behind before he could attack.
It was only a matter of time before Kyuubi caught up with him though. Unlike Sasuke, Kyuubi was used to running on all fours, and he had also much longer legs than Sasuke currently had. Sasuke had the advantage of being able to run through smaller areas, sure, but all Kyuubi had to do was to jump them over and wait on the other side. When Sasuke finally understood that Kyuubi was only playing with him, he stopped dead in his tracks in a small clearing in the forest and sat down stubbornly. Sasuke was an Uchiha damnit, and he could take on Kyuubi anytime, rabbit or not. He tried to control his breathing, but it was hard, seeing as he had very small lungs too. Sasuke heard Kyuubi walk up behind him and Sasuke decided to give the fox his deadliest glare.
"You know what, Uchiha," Kyuubi drawled, "I have never seen such a cute rabbit before." Sasuke just continued to glare at him. Kyuubi was now circling him, treating Sasuke as the prey he was. Suddenly Kyuubi's mouth was next to Sasuke's ear. "Oh, the emotions you draw out of the boy." Sasuke's head snapped to his left where Kyuubi's head had been, but Kyuubi was already on the other side of him.
"What do you want Kyuubi?" Sasuke asked boldly. "You know Naruto will be in trouble if you appear like this from nowhere." Kyuubi grinned at him and sat down in front of him. Sasuke watched almost enchanted at the nine swaying tails behind the fox. He wondered what it would feel like, burying his face in them.
"Do you want to know what he feels, Sasuke," the fox said, ignoring Sasuke's warning. Sasuke thought about if for some seconds, but then shook his head. Kyuubi would only tell lies, and Sasuke didn't trust the fox a bit. Again, Kyuubi grinned at him and let one of his tails caress the cheek of Sasuke. Sasuke shivered and he leaned into the touch slightly. That was a really soft tail. Then the tail circled his neck and pulled his closer, and Sasuke felt his front paws lift from the ground. To his disgust, Kyuubi gave him a long swipe of the tongue over his face, and he had to close his eye to prevent the tongue licking it. The fox seemed to taste, and he licked his lips a few times.
"You even smell like dog. A little rabbit in heat perhaps?"
Sasuke didn't have a clue what Kyuubi was talking about, but he decided he had enough. He transformer back to his human form again, hoping that he would take Kyuubi by surprise. Kyuubi however, unlike Kiba's disgusting dog, seemed to have predicted Sasuke's move and easily jumped back when Sasuke's fist came flying. The fox used Sasuke's own surprise to his advantage and attacked Sasuke, but Sasuke – being faster than the fox, spun around quickly and aimed a kick at Kyuubi's head, and thankfully it hit. Sasuke knew he had to do this quickly before Kyuubi went back to his gigantic mode again, so he let the attacks rain over the fix. He did take more than a few hits himself, but that didn't stop him. Kyuubi would learn not to tease the Uchiha, and he would also learn not to take over Naruto's body this way. Sasuke had no idea what it was that had provoked him, or why Naruto had lost the control. This hadn't happened in years.
They fought a good while, and Sasuke seemed to be the one losing in the beginning. He had been bitten in his arm more times than he could count, and he had a big bleeding wound in his stomach. Kiba would not get his clothes back if Sasuke came out living after this fight (Kiba wouldn't have either way, but still).
Sasuke had a hard time keeping up with the fox, even with the sharingan, but Kyuubi seemed to grow more tired and tired, and he also seemed to lose a lot of strength as the time passed. Sasuke realized that Naruto must be fighting him in his mind, by the way Kyuubi just stopped midway in his attacks a couple of times. When he did, Sasuke took his chance to beat him up as much as possible before the fox jumped away and shook his head.
When Naruto finally got the control, Sasuke couldn't have been happier. He did have the energy and chakra to keep on fighting, but he was tired, really tired. He leaned against a tree as he watched Kyuubi with his inner battle, and how the red chakra slowly turned into blue and how Naruto suddenly appeared instead of the small fox. Naruto took a couple of shaky breathes with his eyes closed, and he swayed a little before falling unconscious on the ground. Sasuke was by his side in mere seconds, and he let out a relieved sigh when he heard Naruto's steady breathing. Sasuke sat down next to the blond and brushed his sweaty blond hair away from his forehead.
Sasuke assumed that he could count this as another failure. He would never again transform into a rabbit in front of Naruto, if this was his reaction. And why had Naruto reacted this way? Sure, it had been a little weird turning into a rabbit and all; Sasuke could admit that much. But too actually let Kyuubi take over? That was just going over the board.
Another thing Sasuke couldn't understand was what Kyuubi had said. But the fox was not to be trusted at all, so Sasuke decided not to over think it. He groaned at the complex situation and rubbed his head to calm his mind. He put his hand down in his lap and looked at the blood dripping from it. Damn. It seemed like Kyuubi had injured him more than he had first thought. He had to find some help, for the both of them.
Sasuke raised himself but stumbled into the nearest three. Clenching his teeth together he managed to push himself away from the tree, and he began to slowly walk through the forest. He hoped that he wasn't that far away from the village, and that he would get help for Naruto really quickly. There, he could tell a lie about the reason Kyuubi emerged, because the real reason was way too embarrassing. He couldn't think of a lie however; at least not a lie that wouldn't hurt Naruto. Having Kyuubi take over his body like that was a serious matter, and Sasuke knew that Naruto was having a hard time dealing with being the Kyuubi-container to begin with. Sure, it had been better over the years, but the trust Naruto got from the villagers was one that was easily broken. Sasuke hoped that he wouldn't have to come up with an explanation. Hopefully Naruto could tell them what had happened, and hopefully he wouldn't give Sasuke away. The Sasuke realized that he wouldn't mind if it came out that he had transformed into a rabbit just to seduce Naruto. As long as Naruto had a good explanation why he had…
Sasuke was rambling in his head, and his head was resting in the grass. When had he stopped? When had he fallen to the ground and how long had he been there? Sasuke tried to push himself up, but everything blurred together and he fell down again. The hid he had gotten to his head was probably more serious than he first had thought. He would just rest for awhile, and then he would continue into the village.
Just a little while...
Sasuke recognized the hospital when he woke up. He had woken up in this room, or a room similar to this one, many times before. He was alone in the room, and he called out for a nurse who promised to fetch someone who could answer his questions. After less than a minute, the Hokage walked into the room and stopped next to his bed.
"Naruto-" Sasuke started, but Tsunade cut him off.
"We've found Naruto, and he's okay. Much better than you were when Kiba found you. They will all be here in a little while, so be patience."
Sasuke wasn't patience, and when the room at last was filled with people he was really annoyed. Tsunade was there, along with Naruto (who seemed to do rather well), Kiba and his filthy animal, Sakura, Ino, and Kakashi who leaned against the doorway. Sakura sat down in Sasuke's bed and gave him a small examination, and the Hokage spoke up when it grew quiet. Sasuke had a hard time staying awake, but he tried to concentrate as good as possible when she talked.
"For awhile, we've been dreading that the Akatsuki is planning to attack Konoha, and they've actually already started. Most of the things they've done have not been severe, but meant as a warning. We think it was them who were behind the attack to the tower five months ago, and shortly after we were sent a threatening letter from the leader. The month later they blew up a building in the middle of the city where one person died, who we believe was the spy, and several of our best ninjas was currently in the place at the attack. No one died. Then, some unknown person attacked the whole Hyuuga family, and since the whole clan was beaten up but no one can tell who it was, we can only guess that it was the work of the Akatsuki. It's been quiet for awhile, but this afternoon they attacked Naruto. Somehow they managed to trigger the Kyuubi and lure him out, and this is a serious matter."
Oh, Sasuke had completely missed that Akatsuki had been this close al….oh. Fuck. Double fuck. This wasn't good enough. Panic seeped through him in a second, and his stomach slowly flipped inside his stomach. This was really bad. Super bad. Fucking baaad.
"After we found Naruto, Kiba found Sasuke a kilometer away, and we think that they either attacked Sasuke themselves of that they used Kyuubi to attack Sasuke. It seems to be the latter, regarding the wounds on Sasuke. Naruto can't remember a thing from the time that he was over powered by Kyuubi." Naruto stepped closer into the group of people.
"The last thing I remember before Kyuubi took over was a weird animal with a massive amount of chakra."
Sasuke pulled the blanket closer to his face in a lame attempt to hide. He was panicking really badly right now. He probably should tell them that he was the one behind everything, but that would be awful. He simply didn't dare, and remained silent while he continued to listen.
"We planned a mission where we are going to look for Uchiha Itachi, who we think can give us the right information, seeing as he is a Konoha ninja and Sasuke's brother. We are not sure about his true intentions, but in the last two years we've come over valuable information about him and hopefully he will co-operate. Therefore, the mission will continue as planned, but we will advance it to next week instead. Naruto, I want you to go on the mission together with Sasuke, and Kakashi, Ino and Kiba will go with you. I know it is a risk to send the pair of you, but I believe you can handle it for the safety of Konoha." With those words, the meeting seemed to be over. Tsunade and Kakashi walked out of the room and Naruto gave Sasuke a reassuring look before he hurried after them, with Ino and Sakura closely behind.
The last one leaving was Kiba and that disgusting dog of his. Kiba turned in the doorway and gave Sasuke a nasty smirk. Sasuke felt a wave of nausea wash over him.
"I will keep quiet about this Uchiha," he sneered. "But I want something in return."
Kiba left, but Sasuke didn't relax.
This was going straight way to hell, that was for sure.
To be continued
Don't forget to review! Partly because it makes me feel really great, but mostly because then I'll know if my fictions is appreciated. Thank you!
