Warning: Sasuke and Naruto will be OOC, but I will try to keep their characters as close as possible as to the ones in the anime and manga.

Full Summary: So… what are you suppose to do when someone gives you a baby fox, keep it? Kill it? And even worse it's a demon fox too. What are yousuppose todo when the lady said that this demon child-fox was made for you, keep it? Kill it? And what are you suppose to do when you see the demon in its human form and fall in love with it? Keep it or kill it? That's what Sasuke has to choose.

Disclaimer:I don't own anyone from Naruto

Reminder: Bold and italic means Naruto in his fox form is thinking.

Private Demon

Yawning in his fox form Naruto tried to stretch but only to find out that something was holding him down. Opening his eyes he saw arms wrapped around him, turning his head he looked at the sleeping face of Sasuke and sighed softly. Looking around the room he saw what used to be a fire most likely but now was only a pile of embers.

Looking back up at Sasuke Naruto frowned when he saw the dried tear tracts. Wiggling out of Sasuke's hold Naruto switched forms and picked Sasuke up and carried him to the bed. First Naruto pulled the blankets over Sasuke's sleeping form before he moved to the fire and put a few more logs into it.

Frowning he threw a look over his shoulder at Sasuke, he couldn't remember anything, the last thing he remembered was being cold and thinking that it would be better to switch forms. Running a hand though his hair he moved back over to the bed, now that the room was warmer he lay down beside Sasuke and yawned. He was still tried, closing his eyes he fell back to sleep in seconds.

Leaning his shoulder against the wall Itachi stared at Gaara. "So it looks like you're stuck here until I say otherwise. Want to tell me why you brought back Naruto when you could have just left him outside? He would have froze if you left him and he would have been out of your hair. So tell me dear Gaara why did you return Sasuke's little demon when you hate him so much?"

When Gaara never answered him Itachi gave off a long sigh. "Fine don't tell, but you're not leaving this house until Naruto wakes up. He at least needs to know who saved him." With that said Itachi turned to leave before stopping. "You can stay in this room." Now leaving the room he made his way up the stairs and looked inside Sasuke's room. It had been a few hours since he sent Sasuke with Naruto upstairs.

But from the look of it Naruto was just fine since he was in human form lying beside Sasuke. Itachi was betting that how they were laying together now was not the way it was when they had went to sleep. Sasuke was now using Naruto's chest as a pillow and Naruto had one arm wrapped around his master. Closing the door gently Itachi smiled slightly. He would leave it this time; let the two sleep without him taking a picture of it, anyways from the way Naruto had acted before he was betting the little fox wouldn't want anything waking up his master right now anyways and the fact that he was Sasuke's brother most likely wouldn't matter much.

Slowly Sasuke come awake to a heart beat that was under his ear. Blinking his eyes he stared sleepy at a chest that he was using as a pillow. Pulling back he sat up and rubbed his eyes like a three year would after they woke up from there nap. Yawning he stared at Naruto who was sleeping in human from. Shrugging he slipped off the bed and made it all the way to the door before he froze and turned around. "Naruto!" He whispered before he ran to the bed and tackled the fox, waking him up. Pressing his face into Naruto's neck he hugged the fox tightly, tears slowly slipping out of his closed eyes as he murmured words to low for even Naruto could hear.

"Y-you are to never do that again." Sasuke whispered as he pressed his face tightly against Naruto. He didn't care if someone walked in and saw them like this, he didn't care if his brother took a picture of it. All that mattered was that Naruto was alive, he was alive and safe. Pulling back he sat up so that he was now startling Naruto and wiped his eyes. "You hear me Naruto? This is an order, you are to never do that again, you are to never leave me again." Sniffling slightly he stared at Naruto before he laid back down on top of him and closed his eyes. All he wanted to do was listen to Naruto's heart.

Frowning Naruto stared at Sasuke with wide eyes, he had no clue what brought this one… Yet he liked the feel of Sasuke on top of him. Sure he didn't care for the fact that now his shirt was wet from the tears and that he got jumped awake, but he could ignore those. "Okay Sasuke Naruto will never do something like that again." He whispered to his master as he lightly moved an arm to wrap around the other boy. Almost always Sasuke hated him hugging him but for now Naruto was sure it would be okay. Moving his other hand he lightly played with Sasuke's hair as they both fell into a peaceful silence.

There were no words that needed to be said, no other actions that needed to be done they both understood that right now the silence held all the unsaid words, unsaid feelings from each boy.

After a little while Sasuke sighing and pulled back, looking up at Naruto he moved one hand and lightly clumped Naruto's scared cheek. "When Gaara walked up to me and handed you to me… You were so cold; I couldn't even hear a heartbeat." His voice was only a whisper and tears started to water up in his eyes again but he refused to let them fall. "I thought you were gone Naruto, I knew something was wrong but I kept on putting it off. Each time I looked over at the door I thought you were going to jump though it right after I turned my back to it, so I waited and waited and waited and you never came." Blinking he took in a deep breath. "But it's over… You're safe so I have nothing to worry about." Moving forward Sasuke pressed his forehead against Naruto's. "And now you know you're never allowed to leave me." Smiling softly moved his lips to Naruto's forehead and kissed it gently.

Pulling back from Sasuke moved off the blushing Naruto and looked over at the fire. "I better go to brother since your okay." Sasuke muttered to himself as he wiped his eyes. Walking out of the room he left the door open as he went to go find his brother.

Blushing Naruto sat up. He never expected his master to ever do that. Pulling off his shirt he moved to the dresser and pulled on a clean one. So Gaara brought me back did he? Frowning Naruto looked at the fire, he couldn't think of a reason why Gaara would save him. As far as he knew Gaara hated him, hated him with a passion. I guess I better thank him then.

Making himself walk downstairs Naruto looked around, so far no sign of Gaara, moving his search into the living room Naruto saw him sitting with this eyes closed. As he walked he saw Gaara's shoulders tense as he slowly made his way closer to him. Once he was close enough he stopped and pushed his hands in his pockets. Looking down at the floor Naruto suddenly wished he had a rock that he could kick around.

"Um… Thanks for the help yesterday." He muttered as he kept his eyes glued to the floor, he hadn't said thanks to his cousin since they were babies. "If you haven't come around I'm sure I would have died from the cold… So from my master and me we both thank you for your help cousin Gaara." Giving him a small bow Naruto gave a mental sigh, that wasn't too bad now he just hopped that Gaara wouldn't want to talk to him. Looking up he saw Gaara watching him and blushed. "Um… I, um, I'm gonna go eat now!" Making a quick exit from the room Naruto sighed once he was safe. God I hope I never ever have to do that again!Looking around Naruto sifted into his fox form, jumped on the table and grabbed an apple with his mouth. Jumping back down Naruto ran to Sasuke's room, Gaara wouldn't come looking for him in here. Once on the bed Naruto let the apple fall out of his mouth before he licked his lips. Since he was a fox right now the apple would be enough for food a while. His eyes narrowed before Naruto pounced on the apple, dinging his claws into it but sadly his claws hit the side of the apple and he went rolling off the bed; landing on his back with a thump. Kicking his paws he saw that his claws were stuck into the apple and he growled softly before retracting his claws and watching as the apple fell onto his belly then rolled away from him. Shaking his fox head he went to his meal and started to eat it.

Once Sasuke had left the safety of his room he went in surch of his brother, he needed to talk to him. His brother would have more information about what was really going on then he understood and when it came to his demon he wanted every single answer that he could get. He was not going to allow something like that to happen to Naruto again. Slowly making his way to his brothers room Sasuke knocked on the door before entering the room and staring at his brother who was laying on the bed reading. "You know what Naruto is; I know you know more information about demons and such, so tell me Brother. I'm missing key information about my fox." If someone had told him a few months ago that he would be talking to his brother, demanding information from him about something that he wanted to keep, well Sasuke would have laughed in their face. But not now. Now all he wanted to do was to keep Naruto safe. To keep him his.

Closeting the door Sasuke leaned against it and stared at his older brother, he knew he must look like shit after all he was up most of the night and even his sleep was restless. He wanted to get this done and get back to Naruto. Sasuke didn't want the little fox out of his sight. Blinking he frowned, when had their relationship changed? When did he become so attached to his little demon? Sasuke wasn't sure but he was going to figure that out once he had some time. For now he needed his brother to tell him what the hell was going on and if that meant letting his brother take pictures of him sleeping… Well so be it. Some things were just too important to let his ego get in the way.

A/N: Wow I haven't looked at this in a year or so. I have no comment really to say about it though now that I remember that I DO have this I am going to be working on it again. All I have to say is that the main computer was gone for a good seven months and over that time I forgot about this.My writing has changed slightly and there is no way to get it back to how this story is written but hopefully that won't be a problem to anyone reading this. Life has changed for me and I am now in College and hold a job, so I have no idea how much writing I will be able to get done. To anyone who used to read this and still will I am very sorry for this. Please forgive me and I hope that you won't be pissed at me. The only reason as to why I am even going to finish this story is because of you guys. Thank you for reading.
