Chapter Ten: Heat

--

"Tsunadeeeee!" Jiraiya chirped as he entered the Hokage's office, a brown bottle-shaped paper bag in his hand. "I heard about Naruto's successful sealing and thought we should celebr-"

Jiraiya stopped when he saw Tsunade 's face flat on her desk atop a pile of mission reports, five empty sake bottles littered around her.

"You got drunk without me!" he whined, crocodile tears spilling down his painted cheeks. He sighed as he sat down in the chair in front of her desk.

He lifted the bag covered bottle in his hand forlornly.

"Guess we can't drink the special sake I brought from the festival in the Rain Country…"

Jiraiya almost flew back when's Tsunade's head whipped up and she snatched the bottle from the old man's grip, holding it protectively against her. Jiraiya swore he heard her hiss.

He smirked as the blonde tore the bottle from the bag and ripped off the lid, pouring out the liquid into a cup that had been laying haphazardly on her desk beside and empty sake bottle.

"Couldn't even wait for me to start celebrating, ne?" he said, crossing his legs as he leaned back in the chair comfortably.

"What's there to celebrate?" Tsunade grumbled, downing the first cup. Her cheeks turned a light shade of pink from the alcohol.

"The sealing of course! Naruto's sealing is finished and was successful so I hear."

"For the most part I guess."

"Eh?"

"The council locked him in a solitary confinement cell to make sure the seal is working. He'll be there for a week."

"Ah, I see. Well there's nothing we can really do. Once the old prunes have decided on something they rarely change their minds.'

Tsunade snorted and Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.

"What? Is there something else?" he asked suspiciously. "It's only been two days since the sealing; what could have happened?"

Tsunade grabbed an empty sake bottle from her desk and flung it behind her at the calendar on the wall. It shattered loudly, shards clinking as they hit the wooden floor.

Jiraiya squinted his worn eyes to see what the marked place on the calendar said from where he was sitting.

"So Naruto goes into heat today," he mused. "Well this actually turned out well then. Naruto is usually locked up at Iruka's otherwise. So what's the prob-"

Jiraiya stopped himself and narrowed his eyes.

"You're not telling me something," he said skeptically, and Tsunade slammed her head down on her desk repeatedly.

She finally stopped after a moment and mumbled,

"Gaara Sabaku is in the confinement chamber with him."

Jiraiya blinked owlishly for a moment, before he leaned over in his chair, gripped the top of Tsunade's hair, and helped her slam her head down onto the desk again.

Gaara reasoned that even if he was spending a lifetime in the solitary confinement room he would never finish counting the dots on the stone ceiling.

Two days in the cell had gone by surprisingly quickly. Naruto had been to weak to stay awake for more than thirty minutes at a time, but they managed to slip in brief conversations during those times. Naruto would wince and wriggle under his restraints, but otherwise the room was quiet. Gaara would wake him up every now and then to offer water, but for the most part the redhead had caught up on all the sleep he had been deprived of when he was housing his demon.

Gaara turned his head from his leaning position against the wall as he heard Naruto groan and stir slightly.

One blue and one red eye fluttered open, cloudy from the after haze of sleep. Naruto shifted his body clasped to the wall and his eyes landed on Gaara.

"How long has it been?" he asked tiredly.

"Two days," Gaara replied, and Naruto heaved a heavy sigh. He shifted and wriggled again against the wall.

"Man, why is it so hot in here?" he groaned.

"It's not hot. It's the same temperature it was two days ago."

Naruto screwed his eyes shut and wriggled more.

"Are you joking? It's practically burning in here!"

Gaara raised an invisible eyebrow, and froze at the scent of heat reeking off of Naruto. Shukaku may have been gone, but he left Gaara the little gift of heightened senses.

"Oh God," Gaara thought. He rubbed his temple with his pointer finger and thumb, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Tsunade must have forgotten…"

"Gaara, it's so hot…" Naruto breathed, his face flushed pink and hair clinging to his neck and tan skin. Even though Gaara was dating Neji, he had to admit that the blond looked damn sexy.

"You're in heat Naruto," Gaara said bluntly, and Naruto groaned, slamming his head back against the wall.

"Tsunade hag!" he said in half-hearted anger; he was too hot to release it all. He flet spikes of molten lava shoot up and down his spine, stretching and dividing into his limbs and swarming down to his fingertips and toes. "She didn't tell me…"

Gaara sighed again as Naruto slipped into a weak slumber once more. He crossed his arms and shook his head.

Heat was painful for a demon. They would lash out, insides burning on overload and searing their body until they found relief. Gaara knew from experience.

He turned as a small cloud suddenly appeared in the sealing room, and he sent a blank look to the intruder.

"Uchiha," he said impassively.

"Sabaku," Sasuke replied back just as blankly. He looked over at Naruto in his flushed appearance and approached him carefully. Gaara didn't stop the raven as he placed a hand on Naruto's searing forehead.

"So, want to tell me how you got past all the locks and seals?" Gaara said, leaning once more against the wall.

"I didn't train for ten years away from Konoha without bringing back some experience," Sasuke said, removing his hand from Naruto's forehead. "What wrong with Naruto?"

"He's in heat."

There was a pause in the room as Sasuke looked back at the blond. He ran a thumb down one of the whisker marks, tracing the line down to his chin.

"He's in a lot of pain," Gaara continued nonchalantly. "Demon heats are like torture unless the person gets some relief from another."

Gaara waited for the Uchiha to start kissing the blond, stripping his clothes and telling himself that it was for Naruto's sake and not his own. And he thought that he wouldn't have to wait long when he saw the raven press a kiss to Naruto's forehead. That is, until he turned away and walked back towards Gaara.

"You need to help him," he said, looking into the impassive jade eyes sternly.

"Why don't you? I have no feelings more than friendship for Naruto, but you are in love with him." He mentally laughed when Sasuke raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"How did you know?" the raven asked suspiciously, and this time Gaara smirked.

"I'm good with reading people's emotions," he shrugged. "Now then, why aren't you helping him if you love him so much?"

"I don't know if Naruto loves me," Sasuke said, looking away. "If things ever did get that intimate, then I would want us to have sex because we love each other, not because Naruto's demon is on an emotional lust rampage." He looked back at Gaara. "That's' why you need to help him."

"Won't you get jealous?"

"You and Naruto are best friends and nothing more, you just said so yourself. I know that it's to ease his pain."

Gaara saw the spark of envy in Sasuke's eyes, but also determination. The redhead inwardly smirked.

Sasuke had passed his little test.

"Fine," Gaara said. He knew that if Neji really loved him like he knew he did and he told him the situation he wouldn't be angry.

Sasuke look at Naruto once more with a slightly remorseful gaze before disappearing.


Naruto blinked his eyes open when he heard the sound of dripping water to find himself a foot from Kyuubi's cage.

"Kyuu?" Naruto called. He slipped into the cage, thankful when the bars no longer burned him. He looked around in the darkness and finally his eyes settled on Kyuubi walking his way

"I'm glad you're OK," Naruto said. He scrunched his eyebrows when he saw that Kyuubi was still in a human form. "What's wrong? Why aren't you a fox?" he voiced aloud.

"I'm still recovering from all the human chakra in here," Kyuubi said, stopping in front of Naruto, his red eyes gleaming.

Kyuubi ran a hand through his blond hair slick with sweat from the heat radiating off his body.

"You on the other hand, smell delicious," the demon said, moving behind Naruto and gripping his hips with clawed hands.

"Kyuu, s-stop," Naruto said half-heartedly, his brain struggling to win over lust and losing terribly.

Kyuubi ran a tongue up the back of Naruto's neck, tasting his sweat.

"You taste good," he breathed, moving his hips against Naruto's backside, and the blond couldn't bite back a moan.

"Sto-hah-s-stop," Naruto groaned as Kyuubi slipped a hand under his shirt, grazing his skin with tantalizing claws.

Kyuubi chuckled. "Look at you, already too overwhelmed to barely even speak. Imagine if I were fucking you."

Kyuubi turned Naruto around and bucked their hips together and Naruto threw his head back as a cool wave spread over his heated body.

"Naruto?"

Naruto wriggled from Kyuubi as he heard Gaara call his name, and reluctantly parted from the demon, disappearing from Kyuubi's depths as fast as he could while he had his lust on a leash for the moment.


Gaara shook Naruto lightly again and called his name.

He was, the least to say, embarrassed to even be asking his friend if he wanted him to have sex with him. It was uncomfortable on too many levels to count.

Naruto's eyes flashed open and met Gaara's and the redhead's eyes widened as Naruto swooped his head forward as far as he could to capture the redhead's lips in a needy kiss.

Gaara pulled away quickly and Naruto wriggled against his restraints, panting from the unbearable heat cloud that was sucking his body in deeper and deeper.

"Gaara, so hot- hah- I…"

"I know," Gaara said. "I'll make it stop."


LEMON HERE. GO TO MY PROFILE FOR THE LINK.


Sasuke suddenly sneezed violently, causing his guard, Kakashi, to jump a little in surprise beside him.


--

There's an old saying that when you suddenly sneeze someone is talking about you. Kukuku. I'm an evil authoress, am I not? How many of you saw that coming? (or not?) Tell me in your reviews! I'm interested to hear who you thought would get to do the nasty with Naru ;D

And the chapter SEEMED short because the lemon was very long XD
