I own nothing but the plot and Komori. All rights and ownership belong to Masashi Kishimoto and other affiliations that claim right to the Naruto franchise. We have some fluffy SasuNaru moments ahead of us and there will be some drama in future chapters as well (I really didn't want to do the drama, but I feel I have to). Read till your hearts are content my fellow SasuNaru lovers, READ!
Naruto smiled at me and curled himself up in my blanket. I smirked in delight and walked into the kitchen to take care of the kettle. Naruto had set out three mugs for the hot liquid and I knew that one was meant for the bitch if the snow fox brought her here. I'm hoping that she at least had the common sense to go home in this weather but knowing how obsessed she was with me I knew it wasn't likely. Grabbing the loose leaf mint tea that Naru-baby had already set out, I steeped them in the water and poured some into two of the three cups. I saw no need to fill the third if Komori didn't bring her back so I would just tell Naruto that I decided not to waste the water.
Opening the two cupboards above the stove to find the pain pills my love had asked for, I found them on the right and grabbed two of them. Putting the tea cups on a tray, grabbing the sugar real quick and also snatching some of the pecan cookies Naruto made earlier I took everything out to the living room and set it all down on the coffee table. Naruto looked up at me, back down to the tray, smirked knowingly and took the two pills. I handed him a mug of tea and he accepted it without a word. I took my place beside him and he draped the blanket across himself and lay down on my chest so that the blanket covered the both of us. My own tea in one hand and Naruto wrapped in my other arm, I brought my leg up to the couch so that I could at least try to make the whole thing more comfortable.
"I see you got more of my cookies. You really liked those didn't you?"
"I say nothing."
"You don't have to, you just gave yourself away."
"It's your fault."
"How is it my fault, pray tell."
"You made them."
"Of course I made them. I don't buy store bought baked goods. Iruka-sensei and I make them all from scratch."
"You knew I would eat them."
"Is that a problem?"
"How did you know I would eat them?"
"You're hard to try new things but I knew that you didn't like sweets. Iruka-sensei said that Kakashi-sensei liked the ones he made so I figured that, since you and the pervert share some of the same likes and dislikes, you would like to at least try them."
"Don't lump me in the same category as that perverted teacher of ours. I at least have suave and charm."
"If suave means 'ice-block personality' and charm means 'I'll eat your first born child if you flirt with me' then I agree with both of those statements."
"If you're trying to be cute it isn't working."
"I'm always cute – even I have to admit that."
"You're not cute right now."
"I don't see you pushing me away. Besides, I think you're comfortable."
He was right, I couldn't argue with that. I was comfortable and I knew he knew I was lying when I said he wasn't cute. My Naru-baby had the ability to look adorable whenever he wanted to – and even when he didn't. But he also had the capability to be so sexy that he rivaled even me. He could make his gorgeous blue eyes darken in a lusty haze and he possessed a smirk so alluring that it made even the strongest willed men fall to their knees at the first sight of it. I would know it's happened to me multiple times. Not that I've ever physically fell to my knees in front of Naruto, but when I was alone thinking about it…let's just say that I've had to take more than a few cold showers. Naruto laughed at my resignation and snuggled into my chest a little more. I let my fingers run through his hair and he purred in satisfaction. I was reminded of the feeling of our love-making and smirked at the fresh memories in my mind. I knew that cold showers would be a thing of the past as long as Naruto stayed by my side. Of course I knew that we would both have missions and there would be times of separation, but I knew that we would still have each other at the end of it all. I sighed in contentment and pulled my darling closer to me in a hug.
Our moment was ruined when we both jumped at the loud pop and the poof of smoke in the middle of the living room. Komori appeared and with him was an almost frozen Sakura. I made no move to aid her or the little fox but Naruto shot off of the couch like he was fired from a canon. I daresay that I almost pouted when he left me so quickly for the girl who had violated me earlier this evening but I'm an Uchiha and we don't pout. That is unless you are under the age of four…then it's acceptable for an Uchiha to pout.
"I found her huddled up on the front porch, sunny-mommy. She's really cold."
"You did very well, snowy-baby now let Sasuke and I take care of the rest."
"But I want to stay here!"
"I don't think Kokoron would be very happy if you stayed here in this weather. You may be a snow fox but that doesn't mean you should be out right now."
"Daddy likes you; he won't be mad if I'm with you. And mommy likes you too!"
"I hope my Kikira likes me, she wraps herself around me every time she sees me."
"Then can I stay? Please, sunny-mommy, I won't bother you or Sasuke!"
"Why not let him stay, Naruto? Sending him back in this weather won't be good for him either. At least here you know he's warm and dry."
"That's easy for you to say, teme. You don't have to deal with his father."
"From what he just said his parents both like you. I don't see the harm in it and he can watch over Sakura until she wakes up."
"Fine, Komori you can stay but only until Sakura can go home."
"Okay!"
Naruto laid Sakura down on the couch as flat as he could and tried to get her out of the, now frozen, lingerie. Even he had to pause when he tried to take it off; she wasn't a very spectacular sight without clothes on. He closed his eyes and I had to leave the room for fear of throwing up again. I didn't mind the sight of naked women; since I was gay it didn't bother me either way, but I couldn't have the images of what she had done come back to my mind when I had such a good night with my lover. I walked away into the second living room and I could register hearing Komori follow me. I sat down against the wall and put my head between my knees in an effort to calm my aching stomach. Komori laid himself down next to me and I could feel his warmth through the fabric of my pants. He looked up at me with his big brown eyes and spoke to me.
"You don't like the girl do you?"
"No, I don't."
"Is it because my sunny-mommy wants to take care of her?"
"That's...part of it."
"Did she do something to you?"
"Yeah."
"Was it bad?"
"By human standards yes. She basically molested me after breaking into my house."
"Why did she do that?"
"She's crazy."
"Oh…does sunny-mommy know about it?"
"I told him, yes, but he still wanted to bring her here."
"Then that's why I could smell his anger."
"You could…smell his anger?"
"Uh-huh! He has a lot of different smells and I've only smelled anger a couple times, but it's always spicy."
"Is he angry with me?"
"No. He's mad at the girl. He's a lot like us foxes; we're very territorial about our homes, mates, and kits. I don't know about a mate since I'm too little for one or the kits since I don't have any but I know that mommy and daddy don't like it if I'm away for too long or if another fox tries to flirt with them. Daddy almost hurt sunny-mommy really badly when he found me after a long time when I wasn't home. Daddy said that mommy got really sick when she couldn't find me."
"So then if he's supposed to be so territorial, why did he bring Sakura here?"
"To show her that you belong to him. To mark you as his and to let her know that you're taken."
"He could have just told her that when he saw her next."
"He couldn't if she was dead. I know that you're the dominant one in your relationship but Naruto knows when he has to defend what is his."
"I wish he wouldn't."
"You want to be kept a secret? Why? I thought this sort of thing was celebrated."
"It is a good thing to find someone you love and I don't want to be kept a secret but I want Naruto to be able to rely on me for this kind of thing."
"If it makes you feel better, he wouldn't be doing it if he didn't rely on you."
"What does that mean?"
"Naruto knows that you would do anything for him, so he wants to do something for you. I guess if it means making the girl stay away from you, he'll do it to make you happy."
"It would make me happy, but I know it would make him upset."
"Don't you think that if he's willing to do this then it means that he's willing to give her up in order for you to be happy?"
"But I don't want him to be upset."
"He won't be upset for long if you're pleased with what he did. When he summoned me earlier I could smell how happy he was. His scent was different, of course, because you two had mated but he almost reeked with happiness. I haven't smelled that scent before and I knew that it had to be because of you."
If I decided I liked this little guy before, then I wanted to keep him now. I guess I just needed some reassuring that Naruto could be happy with me before I could accept that he wanted to help the girl who had nearly raped me. I patted the creatures head and even scratched him behind his fluffy white ears in appreciation. He yipped at me happily and curled up between my legs in a tight little ball. I picked him up and walked back into the main living room to see that Haruno now had some clothes on her and was covered in both of the blankets resting on the couch. Naruto looked tired and he was holding his cup of tea and just staring at her. His look was blank but upon further inspection I could tell he was angry. The blue lace dress was sitting precariously close to the fireplace as it appeared that he had wanted to burn it. I looked back to my baby and was startled when he was looking back at me with the same blank stare.
"Are you alright now?" he asked me.
"I'm fine…Komori was a help."
"Your mate just needed some reassurance!" the little fox chimed in.
"Reassurance?" Naruto questioned.
"I wasn't really sure why you wanted to bring her here. I thought you still…cared for her…like you used to."
"I lost that crush a long time ago, Sasuke-koi. You're the only one I've been looking at for years now."
"I know that now. So how is she?"
"She's got a fever and she's still unconscious. I think she will be for a while though; she was out there for a little over four hours. I think the only thing that saved her was the huge amount of snow that blocked the wind from blowing to your porch."
"It's kind of hard to believe that everything that's happened between us took place in four hours."
"Four hours or four years, it doesn't matter. The second you confessed I knew that I couldn't let you go."
"You don't have to, and if you ever want to, I won't let you."
"I know…I know. You should know that the same conditions apply to you."
"Where do I sign up for this contract? I'll write it in blood if I have to." I didn't know if this new sense of humor was because Naruto seemed upset right now or if it was because I was truly opening myself back up to the possibility of the life I had before, but I liked it. However Naruto's response both amused and alarmed me.
"You can find the documents in the Hokage's desk in the second drawer down on the right side. And I'm not kidding. She literally wrote out documents for me to have my partner sign when I got in a relationship."
"You're serious? What kind of stuff is in those documents?"
"Mostly things related to the Nine-Tails and the secrecy about my biological parents and heritage. They're in the contract for as long as I keep the information private. Once I become Hokage I think I'll shed some light on the whole situation to the village but for now, they don't need to know that they tortured the Fourth's son for the better part of thirteen years. There are things about me that I haven't told you yet, but don't worry – you'll learn eventually."
"Alright…so when should we go to the Hokage?"
"We don't have to unless you want to."
"I'm asking you aren't I?"
Naruto smiled at me and I leaned down for a quick kiss. Komori climbed up to my shoulder to avoid being dropped and then he settled himself around my neck. Kneeling down to make myself more comfortable, I deepened the kiss a bit and Naruto mewled. When he mewled we both heard a groan and quickly separated to look at the pink-haired banshee on the couch. She was moving around a little and she seemed to be waking up. After a few seconds she turned her head and opened her eyes to look at the two of us. She blinked and groaned again and tried sitting up, but Naruto went over to her side to push her back down.
