Heeello! This morning we have another instalment to my story! Thannk you for all the reviews!!
~Chapter Twelve~
The next morning Sasuke took Naruto back to his house and allowed everyone to stay over for as long as was needed. The entire day was spent moving Naruto's stuff into the huge mansion and explaining to Kiba that his brother was a demon. Luckily he accepted the fact with ease and they spent the rest of the day gobbling down Temari's famous cookies.
--------------------------
Naruto awoke curled up in Sasuke's arms and a soft smile fell gently across his face. He glanced up at Sasuke and studied his features carefully. Sasuke's dark hair and eyelashes stood out strongly from his pale skin and Naruto reached up to caress Sasuke's smooth cheek. Naruto smiled when Sasuke sighed in contentment and a small smile graced his thin pale lips. He pulled Naruto closer and buried his face in Naruto's hair. Naruto giggled quietly but paused when he became fully aware of Sasuke's body pressed fully against his own. He shuddered and used his hands to explore Sasuke's smooth back. Sasuke moaned and Naruto grinned with excitement, he moved a hand to Sasuke's side and slowly slid it down Sasuke's body until it rested on his thigh. He rubbed it lightly and Sasuke shuddered, Naruto moved his hand around the front of Sasuke's body and almost yelped in surprise; Sasuke was hard. Naruto purred and gently stroked the outline of Sasuke's arousal. Sasuke moaned loudly and shifted so he was lying on his back. Naruto's eyes hungrily gazed at Sasuke's form and was about to straddle him when Sasuke's eyes fluttered open. Naruto jumped in surprise and quickly shook his head, What the hell was that? He asked himself then blushed profusely when he remembered what he had been doing.
"Naruto?" Sasuke asked groggily and looked over to see his mate with an adorable blush on his face. Naruto glanced up at him, his blush growing redder.
"G-good morning Sasuke." He whispered "I uh have to go see Iruka now bye." Naruto said quickly, jumping from the bed and running out the door. Sasuke looked confusedly after him and suddenly widened his eyes. He looked down in shock at the tent in his pants and quickly shot up.
"Oh shit." He whispered and a small blush spread across his face.
-------------------------------
"Iruka!!" Naruto shouted and ran into the kitchen where he found Iruka and Kakashi drinking coffee. Iruka looked up in surprise and sniffed the air cautiously. He grinned at Naruto.
"Good morning to you too Naruto." He said with a smirk. Naruto ran over to him hurriedly.
"Iruka you have to help me! I just did something really weird." He said frantically and started flailing his arms around in the air. Iruka looked at him carefully, got up, put his cup into the sink and lead the still flailing Naruto into the lounge room.
"Naru calm down and tell me what happened." He said before forcing Naruto to take a seat on the couch and sitting next to him. Naruto blushed heavily and looked down at his hands.
"Well this morning when I woke up I realized how close me and Sasuke were and before I knew it I was touching him in…private places and he was responding and I got really excited and…god this is so embarrassing." He whispered and hid his face in his hands. Iruka looked at him with a smile on his face.
"That's completely normal Naruto. You know, now that you have changed, your bodies going to want to mate with someone soon. You're going to go into something called heat and that will attract Sasuke and hopefully you two will 'seal the deal' and belong to each other. This morning you were experiencing the beginnings of your heat. But don't worry you won't go into heat for at least another few days." Iruka explained carefully and Naruto blushed even more.
"Okay, I guess I can live with that." Naruto whispered and Iruka smiled encouragingly.
"So how did Sasuke react?" he asked with a grin. Naruto blushed.
"He was asleep actually." He said sheepishly and reached up to scratch the back of his neck. Iruka chuckled deeply and gave Naruto a big hug.
"I'm proud of you Naruto." He whispered "Not only are you taking all of this in stride but you've found yourself a mate who will love and protect you." He released Naruto from the hug and grinned again. Naruto blushed deeply.
"Thank you Iruka." He whispered and dived at Iruka for another hug.
-------------------------------
Sai shivered and looked up at the orange haired man standing before him.
"You're sure about this Sai?" he asked and Sai nodded quickly.
"I'm positive Pein; he defeated me easily and used the blue magic of the angels." He said in shame. Pein looked at him menacingly.
"Well of course he defeated you, you're weak Sai." He said with contempt before his expression brightened "But with his power I'll be unstoppable." He added. "Send Zetsu and Kisame for him." He ordered and Sai nodded before scurrying off. Pein smiled.
"Naruto Uzumaki, your powers will soon be mine."
--------------------------------
Later that morning Sasuke approached Naruto cautiously.
"Listen Naruto." He started and Naruto looked up at him curiously. "About this morning…" he trailed off and looked desperately at his feet. Naruto blushed deeply.
"Sorry about that Sasuke." He whispered and Sasuke looked up in surprise "I couldn't help myself and I touched you without your permission." He blushed deeply and Sasuke's expression changed to a smirk "But Iruka explained to me that it was because I'm going to go into heat soon. Is that okay?" he asked. Sasuke smirked deeply and desire spread through his body, he had forgotten that Naruto would go into heat because of maturity and found that he couldn't wait.
"Its fine Naruto, I actually wanted to find you so that I could apologize about this morning. But this is good." He smirked and leaned in to give Naruto a hug. He pulled back and gazed into Naruto's eyes, once more completely struck by his beauty. Unconsciously Naruto began to lean forward and breathed in Sasuke's scent. Sasuke put a hand beneath Naruto's chin and lifting his head up, connected their lips in a kiss. Naruto's eyes widened minutely before fluttering shut. He leaned into Sasuke's grasp and put his arms around Sasuke's neck. Sasuke groaned and wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist. He swept his tongue over Naruto's lips and suckled at them, begging for entrance. Naruto opened his mouth slowly and Sasuke delved his tongue into Naruto's warm cavern. Naruto melted into Sasuke's grip and shyly touched his tongue with Sasuke's, causing him to moan. Naruto grew slightly bolder and gently suckled on Sasuke's tongue, grazing his teeth over it slowly. Sasuke's knees almost buckled and arousal swept through his entire body. He pulled Naruto impossibly closer and took complete control of the kiss. Their tongue's entwined together in a fierce battle and Naruto shivered uncontrollably from the effects of the passionate kiss. When they finally pulled apart Naruto was completely dazed and was blushing heavily. Sasuke also had a light tinge of pink on his cheeks as he swooped in and pecked Naruto lovingly on the lips. Naruto smiled up at him.
"I love you so much Sasuke." He said truthfully and leaned up to nuzzle Sasuke's nose with his own lovingly. Sasuke's entire being soared with emotion, he quickly grabbed Naruto around the waist and spun him around into a dip. His face hovered inches above Naruto's and he smiled.
"And I love you Naruto." He whispered and nipped at Naruto's ear. Naruto shuddered in desire and pressed his body up to Sasuke's. They spent the rest of the day sharing loving kisses and snuggling close together.
-------------------------------------
Naruto stepped out of the shower and grabbing a towel began to dry himself off. He looked at his baggy shirt and jeans in sudden disgust and wandered out to find Iruka. He found him in the study with Kakashi.
"Iruka, can you take me shopping?" he asked, tilting his head to the side cutely. Iruka chuckled.
"Of course I will but why Naruto?" he asked curiously. Naruto looked down in disgust at his baggy clothing.
"I really want new clothes." He exclaimed "I mean I don't know why but I find these clothes disgusting all of a sudden." He said, tilting his head. Iruka laughed again.
"Oh I see, don't worry Naruto it's just another side effect of you going into heat." He explained and stood up. "Come on, if we go now we'll make it back before lunch."
--------------------------------------
Sasuke stared in amazement at his mate who was standing before him. Naruto wore tight black jeans with chains hanging from the belt loops, which hugged his shapely legs and a fitted black and green striped hoody shirt. A pair of black and white converses adorned his feet, one of which was turned cutely to the side nervously. His golden hair had been cut and styled so that it spiked up in a just got out of bed look and fell neatly over and around his eyes softly. Sasuke shook his head in amazement as his eyes traced Naruto's girlish curves, heat pooling in his stomach.
"Do you like it?" Naruto asked him nervously and Sasuke chuckled amusingly. He stalked forward and grabbed Naruto's tightly clothed waist.
"Naruto I love it." He said happily and swooped in to claim his mate's lips.
--------------------------------------
Naruto looked up from the book he was reading when he heard a knock on his and Sasuke's bedroom door.
"Come in." he called and watched as Tsunade entered the room carefully and looked around.
"Hn. That brat's not that bad at decorating after all." She muttered before coming to sit beside Naruto. "Hello Naruto." She greeted and ruffled his hair. Naruto grinned cutely at her and placed his book on the bed. "How are you feeling?" she questioned and Naruto tilted his head in thought.
"Fine!" he exclaimed with a grin and Tsunade smiled again before looking away.
"Sorry to bring this up Naru but I heard about your mother's necklace." She said sadly, causing Naruto's smile to drop away immediately. He sat up from where he was laying on his stomach and brought his knees up to his chest.
"I am going to kill Sai." He said murderously then glanced up at Tsunade. "Old Lady why are you talking about my mother's necklace?" he questioned. Tsunade glowered at him before lightly smacking him across the head. "Ow! What was that for?" he exclaimed and Tsunade glared.
"You know full well brat." She said with a huff. Naruto grinned deviously.
"But Old Lady Tsunade!" he exclaimed "It's just my pet name for you~" he said cutely and widened his eyes innocently. Tsunade couldn't stop the grin that spread across her face and reached out to ruffle his hair again. Naruto dodged it artfully and glomped onto her. She smiled at him and reached into her pocket.
"When you where born your mother gave me a matching necklace to yours in honour of me being named your Godmother." She said gently and Naruto gasped loudly.
"No way!" he shouted and hugged her tighter "Does that mean I can call you Grandma Tsunade?" he asked and Tsunade squeezed him in pleasure.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." She whispered happily before setting Naruto back. She brought her hand up and opened her fist. Lying on her palm was an identical pale blue necklace to that of Naruto's shattered one. Naruto looked up at her with widened eyes and shook his head. "I know it's not the same but I would like you to have this Naruto." She said.
"I couldn't!" Naruto exclaimed but Tsunade shook her head firmly.
"Naruto it would do more good for you then me." She said firmly and before Naruto could react she had slipped it over his head. The same sense of completeness washed over Naruto and two large tears rolled down his cheeks. He stared up at Tsunade before latching onto her again.
"Thank you so much Grandma Tsunade." He sobbed and Tsunade let a small smile spread across her face before pulling him to her chest tightly.
--------------------------------------
Gaara's face was marred with a deep frown as he walked down one of the many hallways of the Uchiha mansion. He and Naruto were natural enemies, causing Naruto to have an instant dislike for Gaara's scent, including his pheromones. So that is why it didn't work between Naruto and I Gaara thought unhappily. Gaara let down his unemotional mask he'd had up since the incident with Naruto and sighed deeply. All he wanted was a mate; to finally love and be loved in return. He sighed again and went to continue walking down the hallway when he felt a mental pull to enter the door to his left. Gaara frowned and opened to door to reveal a vast library. He entered the room of knowledge and noticed that Neji was sitting on a large cushiony lounge reading a book. Gaara smiled at the sight I knew Neji wouldn't be able to resist Sasuke's library for long he thought, smirking. He had been so busy getting Naruto's attention since he had gone through maturity that he hadn't thought of any other possibilities. As Gaara walked towards the engrossed Neji he couldn't help but notice Neji's aristocratic features and the way the sun shone from his long glossy hair. Gaara found that he had the urge to run his fingers through that hair; to see if it was as silky as it looked. Neji looked up as he felt the presence of another being in the library and saw that Gaara was looking at him intensely.
"Gaara." He greeted with a nod. Gaara took a seat beside Neji and continued to study him more. Neji was strong, came from the branch of a prestigious family and was always calm and collected. He may seem unemotional and pompous on the outside but he and Gaara had been through enough situations that Gaara had come to know the caring compassionate side of Neji under all of those masks. Neji had always been there for Gaara and was the first person he would unconsciously call whenever something happened. "Gaara you're staring." Neji said and Gaara noticed the tiny pink blotches on the Hyuuga's cheeks. Instead of answering Gaara gripped Neji's chin and turned him so they're faces met. He delighted in the fact that Neji's lavender eyes had widened minutely in surprise and studied the Hyuuga's flushed expression. I wonder…? He thought and leant forward to seal their lips together. That's when he felt it, the lightning that spread through his body, the fireworks going off in his mind and that sense of completeness one had once they had found what was truly theirs. He felt Neji tense slightly and was surprised when he began to kiss Gaara back. Gaara swept his tongue over Neji's lips and was granted access to the wet cavern. After staking out his new found territory Gaara pulled away from Neji and leant his forehead against Neji's.
"Will you be my mate?" He whispered and Neji smiled softly.
"Finally." Neji whispered in return and leant up to kiss Gaara again.
--------------------------------------
All too soon it was Monday again and the gang walked into the school yard. Ino and Sakura slammed open the doors and stood aside as Naruto and Sasuke walked in holding hands, followed by Neji and Gaara who had an arm wrapped possessively around his mate. Shino walked in slowly as did Kiba and Hinata. After they had all passes through Sakura and Ino released the doors and followed behind. As they walked down the halls, people practically fell to their knees before Naruto. They stared in wonder as a beautiful blonde fox demon with amazingly impossible blue eyes stalked past them smugly. Tight jeans hugged his hips and thighs and a tight orange shirt adorned his slim body. The cloak Kiba had given him for his birthday hung from his shoulder's and swirled around his legs elegantly. Whispers of disbelief and praise filled the corridors and Naruto smirked at them all before continuing down the hall with his head held high proudly. As they entered the music room Kurinai dropped her books in surprise and did a double take at the beauty before her. She scrambled to pick her books from the ground and straightened up looking frazzled.
"Ah Naruto, good to see you." She said, flustered. Naruto grinned charmingly at her and Kurinai shook her head quickly. "I have a surprise for you!" she exclaimed with a smile and Naruto titled his head to the side in question.
"What is it Kurinai?" he asked excitedly and began to bounce on the soles of his feet. Kurinai laughed lightly and pulled a sheet of music from her folder.
"I wrote you a new song." She said with contained excitement and Naruto grabbed the paper quickly.
"Thank you so much Kurinai!" he exclaimed "Can I play it now?" he asked and Kurinai chuckled.
"You can play it whenever you want Naruto." She said. Naruto jumped around excitedly before running up on stage towards the piano. He put the papers against the stand on the grand piano and took a seat. He scanned over the musical notes carefully; committing everything to memory and closing his eyes, began to play. As his fingers flew over the keys a haunting melody rose from the piano and reverberated throughout the room. Kurinai gasped and clutched at her heart as she listened to the music she had written. She watched Naruto's face and was surprised to see that his eyes were closed. She turned to the rest of the group and saw that they had noticed as well and were all looking expectantly at the stage. Sasuke had a smug smirk upon his face as he watched his mate playing the beautiful melody effortlessly. Suddenly Naruto and the stage around him began to glow a beautiful golden colour. Naruto's speed picked up and suddenly he was playing a completely different song; right from his heart. It spoke of love, friendship and acceptance. Once again Naruto's ability with music had pulled tears from his viewers. The glow seemed to brighten and suddenly ghost-like feathers were falling all around Naruto, covering him in its angelic display. Gentle smiles fell over their faces as they watched Naruto; their own little angel, play his heart out on the grand piano.
--------------------------------------
That same day, as Naruto was walking towards his group from the cafeteria he tilted his head when he noticed that everyone had begun to get to their feet angrily. He started when a hand clamped over his shoulder. Naruto whirled around and came face to face with his tormentor; Sai. Sai looked absolutely shocked.
"So it is you?" he questioned and ran his eyes over Naruto's figure. Naruto growled at the unwanted attention and grabbed Sai by the throat. Sai's eyes widened fearfully "I'm sorry about..y-your mother's n-neck-lace Nar-ruto." He whimpered out. Naruto's grip tightened and he lifted Sai high off the ground.
"You will regret the day you messed with me Sai." Naruto growled out and threw Sai to the ground. Sai quickly scrambled to his feet and looked around fearfully only to see that Naruto wasn't there. By that time Sasuke and the gang had made their way to the commotion and people had gathered around them in a circle. Suddenly Naruto appeared in front of Sai and ducked the startled punch sent his way. He grinned and disappeared again only to appear behind him, he punched Sai in the back lightly, making sure to get a certain pressure point. Sai whirled around fearfully and was met by nothingness. Without warning Naruto was by his side and had hit another pressure point. This continued until Sai slumped to the ground, unable to move. Naruto turned to him.
"You Sai, will never come near me or my friends again." He commanded and Sai nodded quickly. "You will never hurt another person ever again; physically or mentally." He said fiercely and Sai nodded again. Naruto leaned close "If you do even one of these things ever again, I will know Sai. And I won't hesitate to teach you a lesson." He threatened and Sai nodded frantically again. Naruto nodded, satisfied, then quickly swept around and punched Sai hard across the face. "That's for my mother's necklace." He whispered and stepped away. Sai groaned in pain as Naruto nodded at Gaara who grinned and sent out his sand in thin tendrils. Sasuke stepped forwards and grabbed Sai by the collar.
"If I ever see you looking at my mate like that again I will kill you." He said with conviction and Sai's eyes widened and he shook his head frantically. Sasuke smirked and stepped back as Gaara's sand tendrils wrapped around Sai motionless body and lifted him high off the ground, towards the nearest tree. He purposefully manoeuvred Sai so that he shirt snagged on a branch and left him hanging there.
"Hey!" Sai shouted in panic "I said I was sorry! Get me down from here! I-I don't like h-heights!" he shouted frantically but was ignored. Naruto noticed a small kid that he had seen Sai bullying standing in the crowd. He ushered the kid over to him and ignoring Sai's screams gave him a glob of dirt he had added water too.
"Have fun." He said with a wink and turned to walk off. The kid grinned and threw the mud at Sai's face. It hit with sickening noise and Sai shook his head. Water demons all around began to add water to the dirt on the ground and all of Sai's previous victims delighted in throwing the sloppy mush at Sai's helpless figure. Sasuke turned away from the commotion and turned towards his mate. Naruto looked back at him and gave a half-hearted grin.
"I wanted to kill him Sasuke." He admitted and Sasuke nodded and grabbed his mate's hand.
"I know Naruto, but you did the 'right' thing." He said unhappily and Naruto giggled. Naruto gave Sasuke a quick kiss and they all walked to sit underneath the birch tree.
Ahh there we go. I know I could have done better with the scene between Naruto and Sai but I don't know I just couldn't think. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this chapter and I promise the next will be very exciting! I'll update ASAP but right now I have to go with my Mum. Please review and I thank you all for reading!
