Iruka and Kurama were waiting in the doctor's office to get the fox his shots and paperwork filed.
Kurama looked around the room, finding everything fascinating since he did live outside most of his life.
Iruka was sitting in a chair, filling out the paperwork and he couldn't figure out a name for the fox.
He kept tapping the pen on the clipboard which was irritating the fox and he tried to ignore it.
His sensitive hearing made each tap sound like his eardrums were being stabbed repeatedly.
Finally he turned to Iruka and hissed at the man in which Iruka gave him a cuff to the side of his neck.
" Oi Kurama, at least Naruto knows not to snap at me, you need a lesson in manners quickly!"
The fox glared at him and Iruka noticed he responded to the word Kurama so he just wrote that down as the name.
The fox watched his hand write something and just felt his ear thank him for stopping the tapping noise.
Iruka sighed before he smiled, thinking about his golden fox and wondered how so much has happened.
With Naruto and Sasuke as a mated couple now and how the other animals at the park will react to it.
He was lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear the doctor walk in until a cough brought him back to reality.
This was not the normal doctor on duty, this guy seemed to be the stand in and he didn't fit the part.
He was a medium sized man with lime green eyes, his hair was covered in a black hat.
He was wearing a long white coat that covered his body except his feet and hands.
He had black sandals on his large feet and he seemed to be forming a hunch back.
Only his eyes and hands were visible and his skin was dark and wrinkled like leather.
His mouth was covered by a gray mask, but the aura radiating off him was just weird and evil.
Kurama growled lowly at the man and Iruka started to pet him, trying to calm him down.
" Feisty animal you have here. Sorry the doctor is being sick for the week. I am Kakuzu filling in for him and it looks like this fellow needs his shots."
Iruka handed him the paperwork and kept his hand on the back of Kurama's neck in-case the fox tried to lunge at the doctor.
He didn't like this man either, but he needed to get this out of the way and knew he had to do some shopping for his new pet.
Kakuzu looked over the information and left the room to get the needles ready for the necessary shots and keep up his cover.
As he went to the room, he removed the wire from his collar and left a message to his boss before resuming his fake cover.
" Kakuzu reporting in, seems that fox Kurama indeed survive and that the owner of the gold fox is adopting him, awaiting next orders."
Meanwhile back at Kakashi's apartment Sasuke and Naruto are currently sleeping on the couch.
Sasuke woke up and stretched from sleeping on Naruto and licked the kit's face lovingly before he went to drink water.
Naruto curled up to keep warm and just wanted to stay asleep and ignore the pain that stung his lower back.
Sasuke smiled as he went over to his mate and began to clean him up and smirked from the sleepy moans.
Sasuke resumed his position of sleeping on Naruto until he heard scratching at the door.
Sasuke growled a warning as Neji and Shino came through the doggy door and noticed Naruto sleeping on the couch.
" So you finally mounted the golden fox huh? I didn't think you had it in you."
Neji rolled his eyes as Sasuke stood before Naruto in a defensive manner and Shino just ate the ants that tried to get in from the door.
" FOR your information he is in heat this week and it turns out he returns my feelings. I didn't think he was serious until he teased me past the point of my willpower. The real question is why are you two doing here?"
Shino finished eating the ants and rubbed his eyes while Neji scratched his head with his hind leg.
" Since you're with Naruto, maybe you two can help us win over Kiba and Gaara since they are best friends."
Sasuke looked to Naruto and wondered how the kit would convince those two? I mean they get along with Naruto and they like him.
" I'm sure Naruto can help you two, but why are you asking about those two now?"
Neji sighed as they tried of words to best explain why the sudden interest.
" Well in a week or two I will go into heat and I rather have Gaara near me when that happens, last thing I need is get clawed up for raping the wild coyote. I know there are many others that want to be my mate, but I want no one else."
Sasuke was speechless, he wasn't surprised about Neji liking Gaara since they both are loners and the fact Neji smiles when Gaara growls at him.
Shino on the other hand always had his eyes on Kiba ever since they met at the pet park when they were really young.
Despite the fact that the fur around his eyes were black, making it look like he was wearing sunglasses.
" Well I've always liked Kiba and the fact he's rough, crazy and energetic is what attracts me, I like a challenge."
Sasuke just chuckled as his friends were waiting for an answer and Sasuke assured them both it would be no problem.
Neji and Shino stayed and talked with Sasuke since Naruto was passed out until the sky was turning orange.
Sasuke watched his friends leave and wondered where Iruka and Kakashi were.
Soon he went back to Naruto to see Itachi walk in and walk into the kitchen quietly.
Kurama was brought in a black leash with a red collar around his neck and a orange name tag.
Seeing the pet shop logo Sasuke assumed Iruka went to get some new stuff for Kurama.
Iruka went towards Naruto and petted the golden fox to get a sleepy yawn and his hand licked.
Kurama went near the window seeing Sasuke was in a protective stance.
