It took about another three days for Naruto to recover but he eventually acted like the whole thing never happened. I was glad really, those first two days were just as worse as when I first brought him here. It was also difficult no to touch him either because my pajamas fit him loosely...Either way, I had to make sure to keep Naruto out of Sai's harm! I swear if he touches Naruto like that again I'll wring that skinny neck of his and skin the man alive then-

"Yellow~ Anybody hoome?" An annoyingly familiar voice knocked on my door. I ran to the door to open it and place my hand over Kiba's mouth.

"Shh!" I coldy commanded. Kiba hesitated but I let him in. I hope he's not as much of a loudmouth as Naruto is.

"So he's asleep then?" Kiba questioned. I nodded in response. He sighed, now he'd have to spen the rest of his lunch hour with me. Somehow I felt bad for the poor guy. Trying to get my mind off the subject Kiba and I chatted for a good hour about how we were doing and our plans for the future. A rumble of commotion was rattled upstairs and only then we knew Naruto had woken up. I knew Naruto had just almost been raped but why in the hell did Kyuubi burn 'my' face for it? Sure he beat Sai to a pulp as well but I was the one who saved him... This all gave me a huge headache. I decided to grab a book to cool down.

Naruto was rubbing his eye in drowsiness and the pajamas Kyuubi brought from his house were draped from his lithe body. Despite the fox patterns on the night clothes, they looked just about ready to slip off, holding themselves up by a mere whim. I couldn't help but notice Kiba's slight drool and his agaped mouth. Growling in defense he smartly sleaned himself up and headed for the door. That is, until Naruto stopped him.

"Kiba, is that you? When did you get here, how are you?" He brightened at Kiba. Kiba's face almost went beet red from Naruto's morning face.

"Sasuke, how long has Kiba been here?" He turned his baby face towards me. Crap. Now I see why Kiba's having a hard time. His face was still half awake and his hair was ruffled in a cute manner. I glared at Kiba whilt he made awkward movements of his hands on Naruto as he was turned away. Kiba got the message and apologized to Naruto about is leaving so soon.

Once the door closed I turned to Sasuke, I felt bad for him, he was obviously upset but what could I do? Sasuke grunted and picked up a book to read. Maybe I could make him a cake? Though he doesn't seem fond of sweets...What about ramen? No, something that would make 'him' happy.

Snapping my fingers I ran outside and called Kyuubi. I know what I could do! It may hurt later but I just might be able to accomplish it! Sasuke tried to stop me but I was right next to the door so it was inevitable.

I flew after Kiba, okay so I didn't really have a plan of what I could to for Sasuke...but Kiba might've known! Kyuubi flew closer to Kiba so I could talk to him at ground level. I had almost forgotten that Kiba's dragon could'nt fly him anywhere.

"Kiiibbaa!" I yelled, the dragon boy covered his ears in shelter of my pitched shouting. He swiftly turned his head to me in confusion. "What?" He asked as Kyuubi flew to the ground.

"I need help! Sasuke seems really pissed off about me and Sai and then Kyuubi burned his face then, and, and...well now I just don't know what to do." I gave Kiba the poutiest face I could ever give. He flinched at my suden question but gave it thought.

"Well the Uchiha's would not be fond of parties heheh.." He smirked.

"Uchihas? He has family?" I dotted my head to the side.

"Well not anymore, his clan used to be thrivin until his brother killed his entire clan wiping out the Uchiha name. He swore to get vengance on his brother but no one has seen Itachi since then. He's been searching ever since he was six but he still hasn't found anything." Kiba explained.
I gasped at the tale, I never knew Sasuke had a brother or a family for that matter. I was so caught up in my own problems I didn't realize that Sasuke was all alone...This just means I'll have to do more for Sasuke! Yeah!

"Kiba, now you 'have' to help me after listening to that! I wanna cheer him up, how do I do it? You've known him longer haven't you?" I pleaded once more.

"Ah, well...give me some time...uhhm.." He snapped his fingers and Akamaru jumped for joy. "I got it! Well Sasuke seems to be very fond of you. 'Very' fond of you to even let you set foot in his house." I blushed. "So why don't you go out to town and-" He stopped mid scentence and sniffed the air. Akamaru was getting sniffy as well.

"Do you smell smoke?"

****Dragons**** Sasuke's P.O.V

Naruto left without another word, did he have to run off like that? Well, my book was getting inevitable so I placed a bookmark in it for later. Suddenly without Naruto around my house got the quiet texure back in it's place. Somehow I felt sad to hear nothing again. My mind placed images and voices of the blonde in my head, his noisy voice and bright smile with cerulean eyes. I took a chair and stared at the ceiling to think. How could those people do that to Naruto? I realized then I knew very little of his past, he still doesn't know about mine...thats right, I'm still after my brother. Being with Naruto made me completely forget about that, it was...a nice few past days without the thought of my older brother. This time I've been spending with Naruto if I end up telling him how I feel would he reject me? I am a man as he is. If he accepted me would I give up on my brother and start a new life with him? Am I ready for that?

These questions were giving me such a migrane. I just wanted to hold Naruto, I knew his baby powder smell would intoxicate me and the headache would be nothing more than a thud. The very thought of it felt soothing to my mind...damn these erections.

"Sasuke!" Kiba sent me flying off the chair. He was breathlessly panting.

"What the hell do you want!" I screamed in rage. But one look at Kiba's face told me something was definetely wrong.

"Naruto's house! It's burned to ashes!" At this my eyes widened. I grabbed my jacket and ran outside, Koshi was already waiting. Jumping over his back I told him to take me to the smell of ashes leaving Kiba panting at my front door. He waved his arms in fury for not getting a ride back. He grunted and sprinted into the trees with Akamaru.

****Dragons****Naruto's P.O.V

I just stood there for a good two secons before hitting the ground watching the fire consume all things dear to me. My only memories of my family are all gone. Everything is gone. The stuffed fox my mom gave me, the silver locket my dad entrusted with me...all gone.
Watching everything dear to me burn down was probably more painful than being raped in the forest only a few days ago. I felt lost and broken, a shattered mess. Kyuubi dove intot he fire and the patch I placed in his wing got burned off, he won't be able to fly for a while now but it looked as if he came out of the fire empty handed. Nothing was saved. Only after the flames died did I notice Sasuke and Kiba standing next to me. He glared into the ashes and something in his mind flickered.

"I burned down my old house. I remember watching it exactly like this." He said. Koshi's gaze fell to the floor in despair, I fell onto my hands and knees and started to cry. Sasuke hauled me onto Koshi and told Kyuubi to follow as well. He didn't fly us home, we rode on Koshi. Kiba wanted to follow but Sasuke strictly told him to go home. Kiba was persistent but after Sasuke cursed, Kiba said, he's stay back to investigate the crime.

No sooner than ten minutes did we reach Sasuke's home. He led me to his bed and asked If I was in need of assistance. His voice grew soft and low, it was calming but I was still in shock.

"Can you just...hold me for a few minutes?" I whispered. Sasuke obeyed and wrapped his arms around me. I felt that warmth again, the essence of knowing that you're safe and loved. It was almost like being in my mother's arms again except this time, it felt different. Not a mother's love but I felt a love of some sort in these arms.

"My brother killed my entire family," He admitted. I already knew of all this but I decided to hear him out anyways. Maybe this was good for the both of us. A good few minutes passed until I heard a different art of the story, "I'm still looking for him today but I have no leads. But something is strange, ever since I've met you, I've felt no hatred whatsoever towards my brother. I even forgot I didn't have a famliy when you smiled at me."
My heart skipped a beat and this time It wasn't a skip of fear. A slight blush grew on my cheeks, would now be a good time to tell him? Kiba said he was fond of me but he's a guy and because he doesn't have any other family, He'll have to settle down and have kids to start a new generation of his clan. Thats right...I need to dot hat do, but would I want to? What if my kids end up like me? Being hated for all the wrong reasons...But I can't deny my feelings anymore. Though I'm probably just being a burden to Sasuke right now and-

"I love you."
