Chapter 11

What Sasuke could only assume was a few days later, the youngest Uchiha looks at himself in the mirror and closely examines his neck. Naruto's mark had somehow taken the form of a golden fox with an enormously 'fluffy' tail.

Upon further inspection though, it wasn't just one massive tail. It was actually nine tails that were just so close together it gave the false impression of unity.

"Do you like it?" Naruto smiles at Sasuke in the bathroom.

The fox in question even had sapphire blue eyes. It really was a perfect representation of Naruto's animal form.

He smirks and kisses his Mate. "It's nice, but if someone calls me Fluffy, I'm going to kick your ass into next Tuesday." After all, Sasuke did have to have some pride. "Got it?"

Naruto laughs and returns the kiss quite gleefully. Sasuke could feel the kitsune's joy through their bond and it mirrored his own. So this was what it meant to be Mates.

"Got it." The blond smirks at him. "Gotta say I like my ruby eye."

Sasuke allows his eyes to trail over Naruto's mating mark with no small amount of pride. It was as Naruto said, a 'ruby eye.' An eye whose iris was the exact same shade as a ruby.

"Good." Sasuke stretches though it smugness aside, he knew they were about to do something incredibly foolish as Itachi would say. "We should get going. The others are waiting for us."

Would that stop them though? Absolutely not. It was time for Danzo to be taken down a peg or two and that's exactly what they were going to do.

Naruto grins at him as he drags Sasuke off. "They're not going anywhere without us." Uh huh. "After all, we're the stars of the show."

"Have I ever told you how sexy your modesty is?" Sasuke rolls his eyes.

Of course, he should have expected this. Kitsunes had a reputation for being anything, but demure and meek. They certainly didn't suffer from lack of confidence. He knew that much for a damn fact.

Naruto laughs at that. "Yep." He winks at his Mate. "All the time. Now we've just gotta figure out where the secret meeting is taking place."

Yeah. They did live in a castle and unfortunately, no one had bothered to brief them on where said meeting was going on. Only that they were supposed to be there at nine.

"Sasuke, Naruto, are the two of you awake?" Itachi's head had peeked into their room.

It had been the most humiliating moment of his life really, especially when Sasuke noticed Itachi wasn't alone. As always, his shark was at his side. It would have been sweet that Kisame followed Itachi around like a lovesick puppy, if it wasn't for what the hybrid said next.

"Itachi, we should probably give these lovebirds a few minutes." He laughed and laughed. "Or a few years, knowing what Kitsunes are capable of. It looks like they're pretty busy getting, well you know…"

Naruto snarled at the both of them. His fangs were bared and even Kisame knew to shut up at that moment. One didn't piss off a nine tailed fox unless one had a death wish, after all.

Itachi groaned at his boyfriend's joke and looked at them both with apologetic eyes. "Just come to the meeting at nine." He drug Kisame out of the room before the shark could get himself killed. "We'll be waiting. We're going to discuss how to deal with the Danzo situation properly."

"Yeah." Sasuke nods at Naruto. "That would be helpful."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Sasuke sighs and shakes his head. "Never mind." If nothing else, Suigetsu's and Deidara's relationship made every game of Hide and Seek rather easy to win.

"Yeah." Naruto snickers as they bound off towards the source of the explosions together. "I guess we know where the meeting is taking place now."

Indeed. Well, that was one problem down. Now, they just had to figure out how to defeat Danzo and everything would be peachy.

Meanwhile Danzo eyes Kaguya's frozen body with distaste. After hearing what happened to Orochimaru, he knew what was coming.

"The kitsune will be targeting me next." He frowns at the thought.

There were few things that could terrify him anymore. A nine tailed kitsune was one of them. So desperate times called for desperate measures.

He sighs while place Kaguya's heart back in her chest. "Do not mistake this kindness for foolishness." He glares at the witch. "I took your heart once and I'm more than capable of doing so again. I do hope that you've finished with your temper tantrum."

Danzo had kept her frozen for years, surely she would be too disoriented to argue with him. At least, that was his hope. The mother's desperation to find her 'son' would always be his trump card, if nothing else.

"You haven't kept your end of the bargain." She snarls at him as if the witch truly thought she was about to kill him. "You had best find my son or be prepared to lose your most powerful weapon. You were fortunate that your spell worked in time last time, but it only takes one error on your part for me to kill you. A fraction of a second and it will be over."

Danzo's eyes narrow at that. He had never responded well to threats, but he knew what that woman was capable of. It wasn't an idle threat and he couldn't afford to treat it that way.

"Very well." He shrugs. "I can deal with that, but you'll have to fulfill your role to perfection."

The nice thing about Kaguya is despite her foolish sentimental attachment to her 'son,' the woman wasn't stupid. She didn't even bother to ask what he meant before glaring at him more.

"You want me to protect you from the nine tailed fox." Her lips curl in distaste.

He smirks at her. "I don't want you to protect me." That was too mild of a term. "If you ever want to see your son again, I'm demanding it."

It didn't take him and Sasuke long to find the other members of the Akatsuki. Perhaps not surprisingly, Suigetsu and Deidara had set off some explosives. Again.

"You know, you're really not supposed to take that whole fireworks thing so damn literally." He chuckles.

There were a few other laughs, but for the most party everyone had become grim and serious. It was enough to freak Naruto out just a little bit. So the Akatsuki was anxious. That couldn't be a good sign.

"We've got a possible location." Madara nods at Naruto. "Thanks to the information you've provided us with, we could attack at any time in theory."

Naruto didn't like that in theory party. That meant there was a 'but' coming. The fox demon hated those with a fiery passion.

"We've got a genie on our side." Sasuke tilts his head thoughtfully. "Pain could just make us look like some of his guards and that would get us passed security. Of course, it'd have to be thorough." The young vampire's fangs lengthen. "Knowing Danzo, he probably has fingerprint scans to get into the building. Do you think you can manage that, Pain?"

Konan looks almost offended as she flutters her angelic wings. "If you have to ask him that, you really don't know my lover that well." She laughs softly at Sasuke's question. "Pain can do anything, if he sets his mind to it."

The genie smiles at Konan in response, but of course, Hidan had to ruin the moment. That was what the foulmouthed werewolf did best.

"Cut the sappy shit." The werewolf rolls his eyes. "We've got a bastard to kill."

Kakuzu swats Hidan upside the head. "Cool it, Mutt." Oh boy. "If we charge in without any sort of plan, you're going to get us killed. So shut up."

Hidan grumbles at that. He was probably swearing at the oversized leprechaun in several languages, but Naruto didn't care. They had more important things to worry about than Hidan's dirty mouth.

"It's a good plan." Zetsu nods. "How are we going to get there without attracting notice though? This is a rather large group and we're going to need to fly or sail to get to him."

It was now Obito's turn to smirk as he looks at Madara. "I'm quite certain you have a private jet that could do the trick." Ah. Private jets were nice. That could work.

The Uchiha patriarch returns the smirk with one of his own. Damn. This family like had genetic awesome smirks or something, Naruto muses to himself. How else could one explain the fact every single one of them had a super smirk or something?

"I'm not sure why we can't just have Pain teleport us." Kakashi frowns.

That was a decent idea. There was just one problem. Danzo was Danzo. That wouldn't work.

"It'd be a time saver and all, but he's probably got a bunch of witches working for him." Kisame crosses his arms as he paces lightly. "They might be hags, but they'd sense us the second he got us there."

It was nice to know that Itachi's boyfriend wasn't all brawn and no brains. Maybe Itachi was like Sasuke in that way. He just preferred a man who was more focused on doing than speaking.

"That's correct." Itachi looks at Madara. "The jet it is, but we'll have to hit him hard." He frowns. "I never would have sought this war, but Sasuke is right. He does need to pay for what he's done."

Damn right and Naruto would make sure that was the case. No one upset his Mate and got away with it. Believe it!

"Your life would be much easier if you would just assume that I was always right from the beginning." Sasuke smiles smugly at his brother. "You know that right?"

God it was sexy when his baby vamp got smug. Really hot. Wait. His tails were wagging too much.

"Fluffy's got it bad." Suigetsu smirks as he points at Naruto's tails wagging. "His tails are wagging and everything."

Great. He was never going to live this down. What happened to him being awe inspiring and stuff?!

"I think it's cute." Karin giggles.

Apparently, that had gone out the window. Damn it. Naruto was never going to live this down. He just knew it.

Jugo at least has the decency to hide his laugh. "It's probably best not to tease him." Well, at least he was trying not to laugh anyway. "I think it's sweet that he's so happy over finding his Mate, but we've got a lot of work to do."

That was true. Danzo still needed to go. Preferably as soon as possible, so he and Sasuke could properly enjoy their honeymoon period.

"Thanks, Jugo." Sasuke sighs, though notices that his cheeks were now tinted a lovely shade of pink. "You're right. We've got to deal with Danzo. Which means we've better go over our plans down to the letter. The closer we can get to him without Danzo being suspicious the better."

That was no fun. Naruto knew exactly what Sasuke was implying here. He wanted stealth.

"Stealth isn't really my thing, but I'll give it a go." He smirks at his sexy baby vamp. "One way or another, I'm going to send that fossil straight to hell for you and then we can have our happy ending. Sound good?"

Sasuke shakes his head in amusement. There were plenty of roars and gales of laughter now, but that was fine. Kitsunes did love being the center of attention.

"Yes, that sounds very good." Sasuke nods in agreement as he looks at his fellow vampires. "Though I wouldn't recommend drinking that bastard's blood. It probably tastes horrible."
