AN: I am so so so so soooooooooooo sorry you guys! I actually lost my flash drive... can you believe that? Like it was gone and when I found it again it wouldn't work for the longest time. Thankfully I got it working again and have already finished this chapter, started the next one, and even planned out where I'm going with the one after that. I've seriously been working on these every day and I just re-read through all of the chapters leading up to this one. I think I might go back soon and try to fix up any mistakes, but I might wait until I'm finished with this story before I do that. What do you guys think? Anyways I wanted to thank you guys for being so patient, and leaving me lovely reviews. They've kept me going in the writing process of this fic. I love you guys so much and hope you love this chapter, it's mostly comedy but it's going to be getting pretty real from here. Of course I'll still add humor in, but it'll mostly be story development and clearing things up. I hope you enjoy see you guys at the bottom!

"Fine…" I grumbled, and as he made to get up I caught him off guard and kissed him roughly; shoving my tongue in his mouth and moaning slightly. He growled but kissed back just as fiercely and it was a few minutes before we broke apart breathless. I smiled at him happily and stood up. "Now we can go back to bed."
Sasuke chuckled as he shook his head and stood up along with me. "Go to sleep idiot." He joked and pushed me so I fell back onto the bed.
"Good night." I whispered between giggles as Sasuke spooned my back.
"G'night." He answered with a yawn, and we both fell back asleep with no nightmares from either of us this time.
Chapter 9
Let me ask you a question. If you had any way to wake someone up after a night where they had a nightmare about their pretty much fated mate to be raping them what would it be? Probably anything but what Sasuke did to wake me up this morning. Not only did he leave and let me sleep for countless hours passed when his mom made breakfast, but he thought it'd be a good idea to scare the living shit out of me! He snuck into the room and jumped on me while yelling my name in my ear, so like any sane person who had just dreamed about being raped by the person who had jumped on them I punched him in the face. And now he has a swollen cheek… and he keeps glaring at me while he's pouting… and his brother won't stop laughing… and I feel like an asshole. But he won't let me apologize! And even if he would I don't want to because again who does that?! Especially after the dream I had. He should have known better and that's the answer I'm going to stick to.
.
.
.
He just glanced this way, and his cheek looks really bad… No! He should have woken me up like a civilized person.
.
.
.
Dammit why does he keep glancing at me like that?! I'm not gonna' give in!
.
.
.
Shit he's staring right at me… resolve Naruto! Focus, it was his fault!
.
.
.
God dammit! "Sasuke I'm sorry! I was half asleep and after the dream I had you should have known better!" Yeah… Nice resolve there Naruto.
"I knew you'd crack and apologize. I actually thought you were going to hold out longer." He remarked casually as he got up and walked away from me with a smirk on his face.
My jaw dropped and I watched him saunter away before my brain finally caught up and I yelled out, "you asshole! I want an apology for you being a stupid teme! Get back here!"
As I ran from the room chasing the now running Sasuke, I barely heard Itachi say, "just like old times." Before he walked away and into the backyard.
It's now quite a few hours later and I'm still beyond pissed at Sasuke, but his mom wants us to sit together at dinner. So that's what we're doing, she didn't say I had to talk to or look at him. By the way when I was so rudely awakened I found out it was lunchtime so I grabbed something from the kitchen after I caught and tackled Sasuke. I also punched him again though this time it wasn't in the face because let's face it (lolz pun intended) his face is too pretty to mess up. Ignore the voice saying his everything is too pretty to mess up Naruto, ignore it.
And now I've been lost in my thoughts for a while and Mikoto looks like she's about to cry… Wait why?! What did I miss?
"Awww! Mikoto please don't cry! I'm sorry I was thinking about something; don't think I was just being a jerk!" I exclaimed after shaking myself out of my thoughts and swiftly standing up to lean my hands on the table.
"Naruto. Please sit back down." I turned to glare at Sasuke, but stopped myself short when I found that he was blushing. Then I took in my position and blushed to the tips of my ears. I was leaning over the table with my ass right in his face.
"Sorry…" I muttered as I sat back down and looked at the floor.
"It's fine." He muttered back refusing to look at me.
Across the table from us Itachi cleared his throat and tried to bring back conversation. "Well that was completely awkward." He failed miserably, but he tried.
"So the reason you were broken out of your thoughts earlier was because I apologized to you and you just didn't react at all… So I suppose I'll just have to apologize again." I looked up at Sasuke with a bewildered expression. "I'm sorry I scared you earlier and I'm sorry I was a jerk after that too I shouldn't have done what I did considering what you'd told me. I apologize and hope you can forgive me, Naruto." I blinked at Sasuke twice before starting to giggle, then chuckle, then just all out laugh hysterically. Slowly everybody else dissolved into laughter as well.
"I don't know why I'm laughing!" I gasped out between laughs. "I was so beyond mad at you that this is just all I can do." I explained slowly through my giggles.
Sasuke smiled at me lightly (his cheek is still really swollen) and looked back down at his plate. "You guys know you could have continued to eat or had a conversation right?" He asked as he looked up at his family with an eyebrow raised.
Fugaku stared back with the exact same raised eyebrow look, and deadpanned. "But your teenage drama is so much more interesting than anything we could come up with."
Everybody in the room was silent as they took in the hilarity of this situation, staring at Fugaku the whole time. Then one by one we all began to laugh hysterically as the tense atmosphere that had settled over the house began to disappear.
"Ohhhhh this is why I love you Fu!" Mikoto exclaimed as she tried to calm her laughter.
"And here I was thinking it was my charming good looks and intelligence… Or at least my money…" Fugaku replied with a slight smirk as he looked into the distance.
"I know I'm shallow, but come on! Give me some credit." She pretended to be offended and leaned in for a kiss from her husband.
"Well I don't know about you Mikoto, but the money's what brings me into Fugaku. That and just the lovely family dicky-ness that only seems to affect the boys." Everything got silent again and everybody was staring at me, then just as I was about to open my mouth and say I was joking Mikoto did the unthinkable.
She got up from her seat and, mock glaring at me the whole time, sat down right in Fugaku's lap. Then growled out, "mine."
Itachi, Sasuke, and I just kind of backed up a bit because that was some parental gross that we just did not want to get involved in. "Well with that disturbing image to scar me for life I'm gonna finish eating and then go for seconds."
"Fatty." Sasuke teased as he turned back to his plate. I pushed him lightly and dumped my tomatoes onto his plate. "Mmmm. Thank you."
I just smiled in return and ate my food quickly and as promised went back for seconds… and thirds… and dessert.
"Oh I missed you! You're the only one who eats enough of my food! And Sasuke won't even eat dessert unless I make something like sponge cake!" Mikoto squealed while she hugged me happily.
"Mom don't squeeze him please he might throw up with how much he ate." Sasuke dead panned before coming behind her and kissing me over her shoulder.
"I'd never waste amazing food like that. It's highly disrespectful, and as your mom must know food is the way to a man's heart. Mikoto you won me over the first time I saw your food you don't have to keep trying so hard." I teased as I kissed her cheek.
"Ohhhh! I just love you!" She gushed while blushing lightly. "You're so damn charming."
"He always has been, hasn't he?" Sasuke asked with a slightly annoyed tone.
"Sasu, you're not jealous of your own mother are you?" I asked with a smirk as Mikoto put me down on my feet.
"Why would he be jealous of me? Are you not this charming to him as well?"
"I charm him differently. You're fun to be charming to the teme's not."
"And what exactly is so not fun about being charming toward me?" Sasuke asked with his arms crossed and one eyebrow raised.
"You always take everything in the manner of ohhh does this mean he wants to do something with me, instead of taking it like your mom does as flattery. I like flattering people it's extremely fun. Sleeping with someone and doing stuff with them is on a completely different level." I explained matching his annoyed gaze easily.
"Doing stuff? What kind of stuff? Have you two been doing naughty things without me knowing?! But I want pictures so I can put them in a scrapbook for you two!"
"Mom that's highly disturbing on so many levels." Sasuke sighed while shaking his head and walking away; I agreed, but then again I guess I could understand… yaoi fangirls are scary. After a thorough interrogation from Mikoto on Sasuke and I's sex life, or lack thereof, I joined Sasuke in our room. When I opened the door he was just coming out of the bathroom presumably from a shower as he had a towel wrapped around his shoulders to catch water from his dripping hair, and his hair was plastered to his face which brought my attention to his bruise. I slowly walked up to him and cupped my hand against his cheek. "I'm sorry I slugged you so hard. I really didn't expect it to look this bad. I don't remember you bruising this bad when we'd fight as kids… then again I don't really remember much from when we were kids."
Sasuke put his hand over mine and turned his head so he could kiss my palm. "I can assure you, I used to bruise just as easily when we were younger. It's not really that bad. I'm just so pale that the bruise stands out in comparison." He murmured his explanation against my palm and the simple gesture gave me butterflies. After that he released me and turned around to walk to the bed, but all I could do was stare after him while clutching my hand to my chest like he'd stung me. When he noticed I was still rooted in the same spot he narrowed his eyes in concern and asked, "What's wrong?"
In response I swallowed and took a shallow breath in. I was opening and closing my mouth trying to find the words, but couldn't come up with anything so I just shook my head. The butterflies were still present and growing stronger with each passing minute, but I couldn't tear my gaze away from him. Sasuke tilted his head and slowly stood up. My eyes tracked his movement and the butterflies kicked up a level to knot's. With the same slow calculated movements he came closer to me with his arms out stretched. My eyes were locked onto his and as he came closer the knots in my stomach dissolved into heat that grew the closer he got. My breath had become labored and by the time he was right in front of me I was panting. "Naruto? Are you okay? You're flushed and breathing way to heavily. Did you eat too much? Should I get mom or Itachi?"
I shook my head violently and looked at him again. "Then tell me what's wrong." Again I opened my mouth to speak, but I could get nothing out except a whine. Sasuke sighed heavily and laid his hand against my forehead which caused the heat in my belly to explode and make me whimper. "What do you want me to do? This has never happened to you before so I'm lost. Is it a part of your heat?" He pushed the hand on my forehead up and into my hair pushing the fringe out of my face. My eyes fell to half-mast and I leaned forward until my forehead was leaning against his which made me sigh lightly.
At that moment the door to our room opened and Itachi walked in. "Oh, sorry I didn't know I was interrupting. Wait Sasuke what are you doing?"
"I'm not doing anything… Naruto's acting strange and he won't tell me what's going on."
"How long has he been staring at you like that? And how long have you had eye contact with him?" Itachi asked while slowly inching toward us. I heard myself growl softly, but couldn't stop myself from doing so.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes in confusion, but answered his brother anyways. "He's been like this for about five or six minutes, and I've held eye contact with him for one or two minutes of that time. Now that I'm thinking about it I actually can't break the contact."
Itachi sighed heavily and shook his head while approaching us at a faster pace. "Your fox side is very crafty Naruto. So crafty that you don't even know that you're leaking chakra into the room as a sort of trap for Sasuke; All he needed was you to make eye contact and some sort of physical contact to seal the seduction act. Don't worry though it's quite an easy fix." With that Itachi shoved one of his hands over Sasuke's eyes and the other to my stomach to push against the glowing insignia on my stomach. With relatively little force he pushed us so we stumbled back a few steps and I blinked multiple times before yelping and placing my hand over the insignia that I hadn't realized was burning against my skin.
"And what can you do about this?" I whimpered out as the heat sent waves of chakra out of my body.
"Honestly? Nothing. Sasuke can though, but it'll hurt quite a bit." He explained without glancing at me and blocking Sasuke from view.
"More than this?" I growled through gritted teeth.
"Yes…" He sighed and let that sink in before explaining what would need to be done. "He's going to have to force your chakra back into your body with his own. Then he'll have to make you two share chakra, which quite honestly hurts like hell, and it requires physical contact that can't be interrupted for long periods of time." I glanced up at him through teary eyes. "There would be a complication though… the way you two are right now with the heat process is difficult. There's no guarantee that the fox will allow it's chakra to be tamed if it's not already mated." At that I saw Sasuke flinch and I growled out a curse as another wave of chakra left me and caused another bought of searing pain to envelope me. "I also don't know the backlash it may have on you Sasuke. You two aren't mated yet and you already have the Sharingan, which isn't supposed to be possible. I preformed this chakra exchange with Taya when we mated and it was difficult even then. The animal's chakra is hard to control and takes a trust usually only reached once mated, but I believe you can do it. Do you remember how to use your chakra to push back his?"
Sasuke closed his eyes and rubbed them slowly before sighing and glancing at me quickly. "Yeah… I remember having to do it once before a long time ago."
"That's what I hoped you'd say. Do you want me to leave?" Itachi asked Sasuke with his back still turned to me.
"I'll call you if I need you. I can't look into his eyes right?" Sasuke asked and I saw Itachi nod in the affirmative. Sasuke sighed again. "That's easier said than done with the nightmares he's been having."
"I'm right here you know…" I growled before falling to my knees gasping at the latest wave of pain that felt as though it were ripping my inside apart. "Sasuke…" I moaned out reaching one of my hands out to him and saw him flinch.
"I don't want to do this to him Itachi."
"You have to or he's not going to be okay until you force him to mate. Now I'll be in my room." Itachi said before turning around and heading for the door only glancing at me once when he was exiting.
"Naruto I'm sorry about this." Sasuke said before walking toward me, hoisting me up bridal style, and dropping me on the bed causing me to gasp as the pain intensified. I tried to curl up on instinct but Sasuke pushed me back down so my back was pressed against the bed. I whimpered at the pain, but immediately after felt myself growl as the bed shifted with Sasuke's weight and I saw him hovering over me. "Now this is not going to be pleasant at all so please just try not to hit me again okay?"
I had no time to even try to reply because he shoved my shirt up to my shoulders and pushed his hand against my insignia making the heat recede a small amount. I sighed in relief and tried to move my hand to touch the man above me but found that I couldn't move at all and the relief I'd been feeling started to give way to the nauseating pain I'd felt the first time he'd forced me into my fox form. My eyes widened and I tried my hardest to struggle away from him, but to no avail I still couldn't move and I could now start to see why. There were glowing blue chains holding my arms above my head and my legs down to the bed. "What? Sasuke?" I tried to reason as his hand started to turn and I could feel my conscience fading to black.
All I could hear him say in return was, "I'm sorry." That's when everything went black. Then red and I could fight again.
To be continued...
