'Thoughts'

A Wolf and His Vampire: Land of Fangs

Chapter 10

Naruto looked out the window and watched as the day faded and night began to fall. The blond quickly slipped out of the mansion and flew his way back to Konoha. The night air was cool against his skin. Naruto descended as the forest came into view. The Zetsumei was quiet. He slowly walked to the manor. Dread and regret consumed him. Why could he suddenly feel every emotion? He was used to feeling nothing, numb and cold to the world. The front door creaked as he opened it. Sasuke was immediately at the bottom of the staircase.

"What is Pain's judgment?"

"He just said that Hiashi will be punished."

Naruto went to walk upstairs but Sasuke stood in his way.

"Are you okay? I know you and Pain have history, but you were the only one I could send."

"I'm fine."

"Then why is there blood on your neck?" Naruto was surprised but kept calm.

"Kyuubi and I got into a fight." He lied.

"He survived the exorcism?"

"Yes unfortunately. I'm tired, can I go sleep?"

Sasuke let him pass. Naruto went up the stairs and into the bathroom. So consumed in his thoughts earlier he didn't realize that he didn't wipe the blood off. He wet a cloth and slowly wipes the blood from his collarbone. He could still feel the pleasure and adrenaline course through his body. Naruto checked himself over in the mirror. Finding that everything was right, Naruto headed to his room.

Though it was dark, his eyes could see perfectly. He smiled at the sight of Kiba lying on the bed shirtless with his eyes closed. The blond closed the door and jumped on top of the unsuspecting wolf. He let out a surprised gasp as Kiba effortlessly caught him mid-air and turns them over, pinning Naruto to the bed. Before he could say anything, Kiba plunged his lips to his. Naruto responded eagerly. They kissed feverishly. He could feel his body heat up under Kiba's; he could feel himself becoming alive. They broke apart and Kiba made a trail of kisses down to Naruto's neck.

"Kiba…" Naruto let out a low moan as his fangs withdrew.

Kiba stopped nibbling on the vampire's neck. He looked into Naruto's hazy blue eyes. Kiba let out a grunt as Naruto bucked his hips, rubbing his erection, he nuzzled Naruto's neck.

"I missed you. God, I was so fucking worried. Did everything work out with Pain?"

"Everything is fine." Naruto turned them over. "I even got you something." Kiba smiled brightly.

"Ooo I love presents. What did you get me?"

Naruto pulled the rosary from his pocket. Kiba looked at the wooden rosary that hung from Naruto's hand.

"It's supposed to protect you. I don't want to take any chances after Hiashi attacked Itachi." Kiba smiled.

"Hiashi won't attack me."

"I know. It would make me feel better if you wore it." Kiba looked doubtful. "Humor me please."

He agreed not wanting to upset the blond. Kiba sat up and Naruto's placed the beads around his neck. Still holding on the satanic pentagram pendant, Naruto gently pecked Kiba's lips.

"I'm sorry." Kiba looked at him in confusion.

Naruto dropped the pendant, allowing it to hit Kiba's skin. He watched as the wolf's eyes widened. A pained howl left Kiba's lips. His skin burned. The intensity of the heat caused him to claw at his neck. He desperately needed to take it off. Kiba looked at Naruto in sock and surprise. Screams of pain escaped his lips.

The blond got off the bed and leaned against the wall across from a thrashing Kiba. Naruto's body was pained. He couldn't believe that he was the cause of Kiba's suffering. His arms hugged his body as he kept telling himself that it needed to be done. With tensions building and a war coming he knew he had to protect his mate. A sob escaped his lips. He watched as the wolf's nails clawed at his skin trying to remove the necklace. Naruto could feel tears of blood leave his eyes.

Kiba had never been in so much pain. What was going on? He didn't understand why he couldn't take it off. He watch in shock as the rosary necklace dissolves into his skin. Hot heat seared through his body. He could hear agonizing screams in his head. It was all unbearable. His voice hoarse from screaming, his vision blurred by the pain and his heart broke by the betrayal. He gave way to the pain and let the darkness consume him.

Naruto stood still against the wall as Kiba's back fell down onto the mattress. He slowly walked over to the unconscious wolf. Another sob escaped him as Kiba's neck and chest were cherry red. There was blood from the claw marks. The rosary was fully buried in Kiba's skin resembling a brand new tattoo. If it were only that simple, the pain would be easier for them both.

"I'm so sorry Kiba."

Naruto lay on the bed. He cuddled close to Kiba's warm body. Silently he cried with only the comfort of Kiba's heartbeat.

After long talks with his Father and Tsume, Gaara quickly ran through the forest. He made sure he wasn't being followed. He ran as fast as his four legs could carry him. Once the manor was in view he phased back. He entered the mansion to be met with Iruka.

"I thought you were told to get here before sunset." The elder scolded.

"It's urgent. Is everyone here?"

"Wait in the living room. I'll get everyone."

Gaara did as he was told. He sat on the couch with his left leg shaking in anxiety. Uncertainty and nervousness ran though him. He stopped shaking when the entire vampire household entered the living room. It was silent as they all sat down. Itachi looked better but was still weak.

"My Father, the Alpha of Suna, arrived today. He and the entire Konoha pack know of Kiba and Naruto's mating. The problem is that Kiba was promised to be mated with my brother." Naruto bared his fangs and hissed at the mention of Kankuro.

"Kiba is mine."

"Yes but my Father disagrees. I came here to warn you. This arranged mating, my Father believes, will further Suna's power and influence. He'll do anything to keep this deal in place, even going after you Naruto. Kiba's Mother knows that your home is here in the forest and they plan on searching. You're all in danger."

The vampires looked at him sternly.

"There's more." Everyone turned to Naruto. "The night after Kiba bit me I had a vision. It looked like a battlefield. There were wolves and vampires. We were all there even Pain. He was fighting a woman. She had long blond hair and a punch that can move mountains. I don't know who she is. The vision was in pieces because I was weakened at the time. It ended in darkness."

"Why didn't you tell us this?" Sasuke asked.

"I didn't think it was important at the time."

"Naruto, can you project the image of the woman to me?" Gaara asked.

"Sure. Close your eyes and clear your mind of all thoughts."

He got up to stand in front of Gaara. The blond placed both of his hands on Gaara's temples. Evening his chakra flow he focused on the image of the women. He let the wavelength of the memory to flow from his mind through his body, down to his finger tips and into Gaara's brain. The image flashed into redhead's mind. He instantly recognized the woman. Gaara opened his eyes when Naruto removed his hands.

"She is Lady Tsunade, our Sigma Alpha. She has the combined strength of every Alpha making her the strongest werewolf."

"Do you really think there will be a war?" Iruka asked.

"There is no way of telling. A person changes their destiny everyday with every choice they make. We will worry about a war when the time comes. For now, we need to leave Zetsumei. We are not safe here with wolves lurking around." Itachi let out a fit of coughs. Sasuke quickly brought him a cup of warmed blood.

"Where will we go?" Naruto asked.

"We will go home." Itachi answered.

"You've got to be kidding me." Sasuke said irritated.

"It's our only option. We leave tonight. Take only what reveals our identities and destroy the coffins."

"What about Kiba?"

"He stays here." Itachi sternly stated.

"But-" Naruto went to argue but Itachi quickly cut him off.

"If my premonition is right, then Kiba is no longer apart of the Konoha pack. He will need a place to stay and can watch over the house. Gaara you're welcome to stay here as well."

Gaara nodded in understanding. He watched as the vampires quickly pack photos and portraits along with what looked like journals and documents. In minutes they were totally packed. Itachi walked over to Gaara with parchment in his hand. The vampire quickly took the wolf's hand and pricked his thumb with a sharp finger nail. Gaara watched as small droplets of blood landed on the blank paper. Slowly words in crimson ink started to appear.

"This is the blood deed to this house. By being given your blood the house is now in your possession, temporarily of course. This gives you the power to control who is allowed in and who is not. The house will also let you know if there is an intruder on the land."

"Thank you."

"Keep this hidden. It holds many secrets of our kind."

Naruto stood in his bedroom. He had just found Kiba; he was not ready to leave the wolf behind. Said wolf stirred on the bed. Kiba gently opened his eyes. He quickly sat up when he realized that Naruto was sitting on the edge of the bed. Fury ran through his body.

"What the hell was that?" He yelled.

"I'm sorry but it needed to be done. You need to be protected."

"Protected! That rosary burned like flames straight from Hell! Where did you get it?"

"Pain-sama." Kiba groaned in disbelief. "I'm sorry it burned but it should feel fine now."

Kiba looked down at the image of the rosary on his skin. His fingers gently traced the tattoo image that it left behind. Naruto was right; it didn't burn or hurt when he touched it. The pentagram stopped at the center of his chest. He traced the upside down star.

"It is Pain's symbol. Any smart vampire will know not to attack you."

"I can handle a vampire."

"I know you can. What about two or more? We won't be here to help you!" Naruto was growing frustrated. He did not mean to tell Kiba this way.

"What do you mean we won't be here?" Naruto sighed.

"We are leaving and you can't come with us."

"What! Why not?"

"Your pack is looking for us. It is no longer safe for us here. We leave in a few minutes."

A single red tear shed form Naruto's eye and ran down his face. He tried to hold it back but the sadness on Kiba's face and the despair he felt from the wolf was too much to bear. Sobs racked his body as Kiba gathers him in his arms. He buried his face into Kiba's shoulders. A red river trickled down his chest. What could he do? He wanted the blond to stay but he also wanted Naruto to be safe.

The loud sound of a knock panged through the silent room. Naruto's grip on Kiba tightened as the wolf stood. He held Naruto in his arms. Kiba wiped the red tears from Naruto's eyes. He brought the blond in a tight embrace and rested his chin on top of Naruto's soft hair.

"I know you don't want leave and I don't want you to go but I want you to be safe."

"But we just found each other. I'm not ready to part."

"You got the rosary because you knew this was going to happen."

"No! I didn't know we'd be separated. I only knew that a war may come. I didn't want to risk a vampire attacking you."

Kiba sighed and placed a kiss to Naruto's forehead. He took the vampire's hand in his and led them downstairs. Everyone was gathered in the living room. With sympathy everyone glanced towards the disheveled blond. Faint red rings circled his eyes and stained his cheeks. Kiba softly kissed his lips.

"We'll be together again."

Naruto nodded not trusting his voice to crack and breakdown. With one last kiss Kiba let the vampire walk over to the others. He watch as Naruto's blue eyes connected with his, and then they were gone. A puff of smoke was left in their wake. Kiba could feel his heart slowly shatter then break. A sorry pained howl left his lips. Gaara looked away from Kiba's vulnerable state and joined his friend's sorrowful howl.
