Author Notes: So, enjoying the story so far? Our plot is basically over for this fic, but I do have two more meaningful chapters. Don't forget to review!

################$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Naruto: He woke up that morning, July 7th, happy and excited. It was Kiba's birthday. Said brunette was still sleeping, not exactly silently, next to him. "I haven't been able to get you really good gifts before, but I promise this time will be different," Naruto spoke quietly as he wrapped his arms around and nuzzled his boyfriend. He just softly rubbed the back of Kiba's head until he woke up.

"Mmmmg-aaaah," he yawned. "Morning Naruto." The blond opened his eyes again and looked brightly into the dark, brown slits of his stepbrother. "Sleep well?"

"Yup," his fox replied eagerly. "And guess what day it is." The brunette looked confused. He was about to say "Tuesday" when Naruto cut him off with "silly, it's your birthday!"

"Aw, you remembered," Kiba told him, thanking Naruto. He hugged and nuzzled the blond a bit before happily hopping out of bed. They casually dressed in each other's presence like they had for several months now. Since April 16th, they had been together, and so far it had been quite the adventure between Kiba's parents, Kurumaru, and Naruto's friends finding out about the secrets of Kyuubi and their relationship. Mating Season had been a bit of a rough ride, especially the third week of June, the final week of their heats. Itchiness was profusely evident during the entirety of daytime, and both of them had to wait for their scratch scabs to heal up for a few days after, well, Naruto for four hours. Kiba however was not blessed with the healing powers of a jinchuuriki. Their friends had been at first terrified to see a red-eyed Naruto and a fang-baring, clawed Kiba walking together, but they were partially relieved to find that it was merely a side effect of Mating Season. The entire Inuzuka male population had grown claws and smelled of heightened testosterone. Tsume had to break up several fights. That was a traditional job of Inuzuka women during Mating Season: stopping fights between irrationally enraged males and injecting them with a sedative to calm their hormones. Kiba couldn't help but laugh after seeing Mido get his ass kicked by another one of his older cousins when Mido was simply talking to one of his female teammates. Apparently, the young woman was the second male's girlfriend, and a longtime friend of Mido. Hana broke up that fight quickly, leaving both guys battered and embarrassed.

"So," Kiba began as they walked into the hallway. "What did you get me?"

"If I told you that, it wouldn't be a surprise," Naruto replied. "It blows my previous gifts out of the water though." Kiba looked partially bummed that he couldn't get any information. "Don't worry, it'll be really special." His stepbrother smiled and gave Naruto a light kiss. Right after coming down the stairs, Kiba was ambushed by his mother.

"How's my little birthday boy doing?!" she asked as she gave Kiba the traditional power nuggie. The brunette held his stinging scalp after she let go.

"Not so great anymore," he replied. Naruto put his hand on top of his head and offered Kyuubi's healing services. "Thanks Naruto. Okay, well, I guess we've gotta go see Lady Tsunade about missions. This sucks, missions on my birthday." Naruto stayed behind him and snickered. This was the first part of his present; he had worked out a deal with Tsunade so that Kiba and his team would have the day off from missions. In exchange, Naruto would have to test out a new drug for quick healing on the battlefield.

"Well, no son of mine is leaving without a decent breakfast," Tsume told Kiba. "Sit your butt down and eat. Hana made juevos rancheros, just how you like them." The brunette turned and saw a platter of one of his most favorite foods waiting. Poached eggs, spicy browned meat, beans, tomato slices, and that perfect blend of spices that Hana kept secret from everyone, this was a perfect birthday breakfast.

"Thank you Hana wherever you are," Kiba yelled. He quickly sat down and put four eggs on his plate along with a glass of milk. Naruto joined him, but he wasn't feeling extremely hungry. After balancing his diet under Tsume's instruction, he found that he couldn't eat anywhere near as much as he could before. He humbly had to surrender his ramen eating record to Chouji.

"These are really good," Naruto moaned. Little campfires dotted his tongue as he chewed on the egg white.

"Ya, nothing hits the spot quite like these," Kiba told him. "Aaah, Hana you are a genius." Naruto was shocked as he looked at the empty plate his stepbrother now possessed. "You gonna eat that?"

"Yes thank you!" Naruto told him with a hint of fear as he held his plate away from Kiba. He quickly finished off his second egg and drank a glass of milk before putting both his and Kiba's plates away in the dishwasher.

"Thanks Naruto," Kiba told him before leaving a kiss on his cheek and heading out the door. He ran off to meet up with Kurenai and the rest of his team.

"Don't tell Kiba, but when he comes back wondering why he had no mission today, I pulled some strings," Naruto told his mom. She smiled and rubbed his head briskly.

"Nicely played," she told him. "Now go on. I've got stuff to do too." Naruto smiled and grabbed his ninja jacket from its hook before heading off to the Hokage Mansion. NOTE: Naruto is now wearing his Shippuuden clothes, but he isn't that tall yet.

"Alright Naruto," Tsunade spoke as he came in the door. Kurenai's team had been dismissed a few minutes before, and Naruto had waited patiently on the roof. "Unfortunately, we need to suppress Kyuubi's chakra and slice you somewhere." The blond pulled his sleeve up and held his arm out unsurely. "I'll numb it first, but I won't cut anything serious." She used a cotton ball and numbed part of the back of his forearm. Using a sharp scalpel, she put an inch and a half long gash in him. Suppression tags had already been attached, so he wasn't instantly healing yet.

"It still hurts," Naruto spoke.

"Well, it's not like I can magically remove all pain," the Hokage replied. "Drink some water and then swallow this black pill." Naruto took the glass in his free hand and filled his mouth halfway before popping the pill in. Due to Naruto's luck, the pill turned out to thin blood instead of help it clot and repair tissue. He started freaking out when he bled faster. "Whoa, didn't see that coming."

"Ya think?!" Naruto asked her in shock as he ripped the tags off. Kyuubi's chakra quickly stopped the bleeding and then repaired the broken tissue. Tsunade sighed in defeat.

"You're free to go," she spoke. "Looks like the formula needs a lot of readjusting." Tsunade replaced the blood Naruto had lost just to be safe. "Have fun with Kiba's birthday."

"Thanks Tsunade-Sama," the yellow-haired boy told her as he stepped off the examination table. "And thanks for not quite killing me."

"I could always change my mind." With that, Naruto was running for his life, and Tsunade smiled at her work. "Still got it." She wrote down her findings and returned to her office. Sakura was waiting patiently.

"How'd it turn out?" she asked eagerly.

"Unfortunately, it was a total bust," her mentor replied. "It thins blood, but beyond that, it's useless for anything. We'll keep trying though. Chakra in a pill is okay, but there has to be another way. We'll find it. So, you getting anything for Kiba's birthday?"

"I wanted to get something he and Naruto could share, but buying certain things looks bad for someone my age," Sakura told her embarrassingly. "I got them a videogame console, the GameCube."

"That sounds fun," Tsunade replied as she went through some files. "You claimed you were crushing on Sasuke a lot, but you kind of stopped after Naruto came back all beaten up. Tell me, do you have feelings for him, Naruto?"

"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked her in surprise. "He's completely into Kiba, and you're asking me that?"

"I never asked 'do you intend to take him out on a date?' I asked if you had feelings for Naruto," the Hokage told her calmly. Sakura blushed, and she looked down a bit.

"Well, after Sasuke left, I started noticing Naruto more," the pink-haired girl began. "It wasn't just his goofiness and beat them all attitude either. I started seeing just how strong he was, and how hurt he let himself get to protect everyone. I felt guilty, having ignored him for so long, and when I think back, he tried to get close to me a lot too. I think we've grown closer, but not anything like between him and Kiba. Naruto's a good friend, and an amazing person, but I'm not right for him."

"That's very mature of you Sakura," Tsunade told her with a smile. "You're growing up." Sakura smiled lightly as she turned and looked out her large windows.

"Well, since we have the day off, I guess you guys can hang out and do whatever," Kurenai told her team. She really did want to spend some time with them, but shinobi weren't supposed to make bonds like that. "By the way, happy birthday Kiba." She winked at him before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

"Kiba," Hinata began. "The party…it's at your house tonight, right?"

"Ya Hinata, a lot of people are coming," the Inuzuka replied. "Hey, you feeling alright?" he asked, noticing his comrade blushing. Hinata blushed deeper red. "Oh, I guess it is kinda awkward. Look, Naruto still wants you as his friend. Um, this might sound bad at first, but try and think of it this way. Since he never really realized just how much you were crushing on him, he doesn't feel awkward around you." Hinata was on the verge of crying. "No, wait. I'm saying that he still sees you as his friend and comrade. You don't really wanna take that from him do you? He still wants you to be his friend."

"Kiba's right Hinata," Shino told her. "Not to insult your crush, but Naruto was never the brightest bulb in the bunch." The Hyuuga now looked angry. "I'm not saying he's stupid, but Naruto never was one to be super aware of everyone else. It's better to just act like nothing ever happened."

"You guys are right," Hinata said in resignation. "Sorry to worry you on your birthday Kiba. Tell Naruto I said hi." She smiled lightly as she said this.

"Sure thing Hinata," Kiba spoke as he hugged her reassuringly. The girl blushed, but she hugged him back lightly. "Naruto's probably got a mission, and my mom doesn't want me seeing the house early, so what do you guys want to do?"

"It's a bit early for lunch, but maybe we should get in some training," Shino told them. "Hey, Akamaru's grown a bit."

"Ya," Kiba replied. "Soon I won't be able to carry him in my shirt or on my head. If we're gonna go train, might as well have a race."

"You're on," Shino told him as all three and Akamaru ran off towards the training grounds at the lake.

"Alright Hana-Neesan, you said I could help with making the cake?" Naruto asked as he came in the door.

"Ya, but could you help me with getting some of these decorations up?" the woman asked. "Oh, and the stuff you wanted is laying on the counter for you to wrap or do whatever with."

"Thanks again for buying those. Kiba should get a real kick out of them," her little stepbrother replied.

Flashback: Five days ago, Naruto realized that his lover's birthday was coming up fast, and he knew his usual quality of presents wouldn't cut it. "Hey, I've got the money now. This should be much easier," the blond told himself as he was walking the streets in the market. None of the stands sold anything he deemed worthy of Kiba, so he moved on to the specialty places. "These tiger pajamas look nice." They were a lovely shade of deep reddish orange, and Naruto looked at the price tag. "Two-hundred? Oh, made from real tiger pelt. Rumored to be the most comfortable pair of pajamas a person can wear." Naruto felt over the inside and outside. "Wow that's soft." He kept thinking it over, and eventually, he bought them because he thought he wouldn't come across anything else that grand. When he by chance walked by the window of a store specializing in…rather particular clothing, Naruto's eye caught two specific items: shiny, black, skin-tight, leather underwear and a black leash with a collar which included smooth, metal spikes about a half inch long each. The reason the pants caught his interest was the word "foxy" written in large white letters on the back. "Holy crap." While the blond seriously wanted to get those, the sign of course read "must be at least sixteen." "Damn." Naruto walked back to the Inuzuka estate a little bummed, and he knew Kiba was out on a mission.

"Ooo, what'd you get Kiba Naruto?" Hana asked. "I know you went shopping for his birthday." Naruto showed her the pajamas. "Wow, you didn't hold back. He'll love sleeping in these." She noticed Naruto looking disappointed. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Well, I kinda saw these other two things in the window of that one clothing shop," he began, "but you have to be at least sixteen to go in and buy something."

"That store?" Hana asked skeptically. "What could you possibly want from there?"

"I'll give you the money for them, but, uh," Naruto began. He looked around feeling a bit embarrassed, and he whispered it to her. "They're seventy Ryou in total, and I'm sure he'll get a kick out of 'em. Will you buy 'em for me Sis? PLEEEEEEASE?" Hana was hesitant, but she took the money from him. "Thanks. I'm not good with hiding presents."

"Say no more; I can put these pajamas in a place where he'll never sniff 'em out," Hana told him. "As per your um, other clothes, when I find the time, I'll go get them." Naruto hugged her.

"Thanks a bunch Hana-Neesan. I wanted to get him the best presents I could."

End Flashback: Naruto finished putting up the net holding the balloons. Now almost everything was set up except for the food. "Alright," Hana sighed. "That should do it." She smiled proudly at her work. "Hey, do you hate coconut Naruto?"

"No, why?" he asked.

"Oh, Kiba's always gone nuts over it. He can't get enough of the stuff, especially when it comes to deserts," Hana replied. "That's good though. Ready to help?"

"I'm your assistant for the rest of the day," the blond happily replied. They went to work on a recipe Hana had developed recently for a three-layer, double chocolate cake with fresh coconut cream icing. It took nearly two hours, but the finished product was amazing to behold.

"I have to add the last touch," Hana spoke as she got out a butane torch. The blue flame danced over the shell of fresh coconut flakes that Naruto had applied. Even though it took ten minutes and a bunch of sweat, the cake was now a golden-brown worthy of the most revered pastry chefs. "Actually, there is one other thing we can do, shell chocolate curls. You can help with this Naruto." She got out a tool with a crescent-shaped, wide blade and began making moons from the block of dark chocolate she kept. "Just make a shallow scoop. I'll do the white chocolate ones." Naruto cut himself twice, but Kyuubi dealt with the minor injuries. "From now on, maybe I should handle those. You did a good job though. These just have to warm up a bit, and then I'll curl them over themselves. Why don't you head out and pick us up a bowl of ramen?" She handed him the money, and Naruto was off on a quest to bring them lunch.

"I'm back Hana," the blond called as he came in the door. Shen greeted him by rubbing against his legs, but Tsume had Kurumaru and Raija out on a quick mission. "Here, two deluxe ramen."

"Thanks little bro," the woman spoke as she wrapped the cake up in plastic and placed it in the freezer. "It needs to cool quickly, but in ten minutes, I'll move it to the fridge. And thanks for your help. That would have taken me at least another hour without you." Naruto smiled from being thanked. Before living with the Inuzukas, he wasn't very appreciated for helping with the small stuff. It was really working out for him, being in the family.

"Okay, four hours until dinner, so I should go wrap up the pajamas," Naruto told his sister.

"What about the other stuff?" Hana asked.

"Ya, um, my friends probably aren't interested in seeing those," Naruto replied. The woman blushed. "Exactly. I'll put those on a shelf in our room. I'll probably put it behind the trophy; Kiba hates looking up there."

"I don't get why he's embarrassed about you guys winning our contest," Hana told him. "Either way, good plan Naruto." The jinchuuriki placed his gifts directly behind the golden emblem symbolizing their successful relationship. He then proceeded to wrap up the tiger pajamas in the special box he had received from the store he had bought them from for the actual sales price. "Don't forget to sign it," his sister reminded him. Naruto didn't have great handwriting, but it would do. He heard Kiba come in the door, and so Naruto sprinted up the stairs and hid the gift in Tsume's room.

"Can't you just tell me?" the brunette asked.

"No, and if you cheat, you don't get to have what I got you," Naruto teased. "You'll really like it though. How'd your mission-free day go?"

"Eh, I just went and trained and waaait, how did you know my team got no missions?" Kiba asked with a hint of accusation in his voice.

"Oops, let that slip," Naruto spoke. "I pulled some strings with Grandma Tsunade. You're welcome."

"Aw, you're the best Naruto," Kiba spoke happily before giving his mate a very flattering kiss. He even snaked his hand under the blond's shirt and began lovingly caressing the seal.

"I love you too Kiba," Naruto told him as he understood the feelings he was receiving. The brunette's hand came out from his shirt, and they shared one more, light kiss. "Well, three and a half hours until dinner. Anything you want to get done?"

"Well, you two can't stay here," Hana spoke as he walked into the kitchen. "Since I'm making you a special birthday dinner Kiba, you need to be elsewhere. Since you want to be with Naruto, that means you too Blondie. Out." Her two brothers quickly left and headed for the dojo.

"Hey, it's the birthday boy," Biran announced as he roughly patted Kiba on the back, knocking him down after the third. "Sorry." Naruto picked up the half-dazed boy and got him back on his feet. "So, you're almost fourteen. How's it feel?"

"I don't know," Kiba began. "Fun, and I guess I'll be happy that Mom can maybe start trusting me more."

"That's the spirit!" Biran spoke again before knocking Kiba down with another strong pat on the back.

"Hey, I need this later," Naruto told him as he picked Kiba up once more and supported him.

"Ah, wouldn't want to deprive either of you now would I?" Biran told them. "Happy birthday kid. Maybe soon we'll be seeing you in here more often. Good luck catching up to Naruto though eh? He's a beast. Not quite your mom, but a beast nonetheless. See ya Naruto." He and the blond locked hands before patting each other on the backs, Biran somehow shaking from each hit he took from Naruto. "Yup…a beast," the man breathed.

"My hero," Kiba spoke sarcastically but with a smile. Naruto playfully grabbed him by the ear and dragged him a few steps. "Ow, ow, ow, OW. Narutoooo…" he whined once the blond had him back on his feet.

"Sorry," Naruto told him sweetly before submissively licking his neck and apologizing through submissive noises. They killed time in various ways before heading home to a scallop buffet.

"No freaking way," Kiba spoke in disbelief once he caught the scent about a quarter mile from the house. Naruto had a surprisingly hard time keeping up with him on the sprint back. "You didn't," he spoke happily as he came in the door.

"Yes she did," Tsume replied. "Scallops, every which way you like them, au gratin, baked, stuffed, fried, the works."

"Thank you Kami," Kiba spoke as he kneeled and held up his hands like in a prayer. "I love you Sis!" he yelled very loudly.

"You better," Hana told him a bit harshly. She wasn't mad, but she was sweating, obviously from having worked her ass off. "Dig in while it's hot." There were zero leftovers when it was all said and done. Naruto fell in love with scallops, Kiba was stuffed, Tsume was pretty full, Hana was also nearly bursting, and the dogs, including Akamaru of course, got their share of the seafood too. "To your liking little bro?"

"Nope, redo it," Kiba spoke flatly. Two seconds later, he burst out laughing. Lying was obviously not his strong suit.

"You little bastard," Hana spoke partially angrily. Kiba's eyes widened in terror before he received a firm blow to the head. His big sister was steaming, and Tsume had to calm her down.

"Kiba, you haven't grown up in the least," Tsume commented. Naruto picked him up by his collar.

"Idiot," was all he spoke before putting him on the couch and getting a bag of ice. "Here, ice it yourself."

"I'm sorry Hana," Kiba spoke as he put the ice on the now very sensitive side of his head. "I'll do the dishes."

"Good, that's being mature," Tsume told him. "You've been working hard Hana. Go and rest for a bit, and drink some water; you're dehydrated." Her daughter nodded before going upstairs. "Way to go lamebrain."

"Ya, I was a jerk," her son said flatly. Kiba got up and started scrubbing down the platters, plates, and the glass pans. He put them all away neatly before Naruto lightly kissed him and helped set up the snacks and drinks for the guests who would be arriving in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. "Ding-dong."

"Happy birthday Kiba," Naruto told him before opening up the door. Sakura was the first to arrive with a medium-sized box holding the GameCube and a copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee. No one else was behind her, but Naruto could hear a few in the distance. "Hey Sakura. You're the first one here."

"Thanks Naruto, and happy birthday Kiba," she said as she hugged the brunette. "Fourteen, how's it feel?"

"Not much different from yesterday, only I'm getting treated like a king today," Kiba spoke humorously. Naruto gave him a warning look though. "Sorry, it feels great."

"Much better," Naruto told him before giving his now one-year-older puppy a kiss. Everyone had gotten used to it now, their kissing. This was a light one though, not a super drawn out one full of tongue and light moans, the kind that got on their nerves. "The stereo's over there if you brought music, and all the snacks and stuff are in the kitchen."

"Open it now Kiba. It's something everyone can do tonight, and then you two can use it whenever you want," Sakura told him eagerly as she handed Kiba the box. Naruto sat next to him on the sofa and watched. "Surprise!"

"Awesome!" Kiba spoke eagerly. "It's a Nintendo GameCube. Hey Naruto, wanna see who can fight better?" The blond raised his left brow at seeing the game.

"You're on," he said as he hooked the console up to the TV. "Dibs on Link."

"Fine. I choose Mario," Kiba spoke confidently. Shino and Ino arrived soon to see them going at it in cyber world. "You are so mine," the brunette spoke. Naruto made link do a down thrust as Mario sprang up. Slash.

"Whaaaaohohohohoooh!" Mario yelled as he fell and then disappeared in the background.

"Hey, no fair," Kiba complained. "It's my birthday." Naruto just smiled and rolled his eyes before committing suicide with Link. "Sudden death," the brunette spoke confidently. Truth be told, Naruto let him win, but he let Kiba have his moment. "Ya, woohoo!"

"Congratulations, now say hello to our new guests," Naruto told him. Kiba turned and blushed to see his friends watching and smiling humorously. Shino and the white blond placed their presents on the sofa, and now the rest were starting to arrive. "Hey Chouji, Neji, hey Hinata."

"Hello Naruto-Kun," she spoke flatly, for Hinata anyway. She blushed, but not as much as usual. Chouji held himself from devouring the snacks, but everyone got in a few bites just to be safe. Neji sat and played a round with Kiba.

"Since when does Bowser beat Mario?" Kiba asked when he lost 3 to -3. "It's rigged."

"No, I just know how to play better," Neji told him flatly. "By the way, happy birthday." Kiba just frowned as he stared at the screen. Ten Ten who had freshly arrived walked over to the stereo and put in her favorite party songs. Naruto was no dancer, but he watched as Kiba enjoyed himself. By the time the first song ended, everyone had arrived. Kiba pulled the blond unexpectedly into another fun song. It was strange, but Naruto tried to feel the rhythm as he watched his lover.

"Not bad Naruto," he spoke before kissing the blond. It was an awkward moment because someone had purposely stopped the music. "Hands off, he's mine," Kiba declared to Naruto's complete embarrassment.

"Alright, now that you're all sweaty and tired, time for cake," Tsume declared as she pulled the trip rope Hana had set up. Balloons covered in 14's fell from the ceiling along with tiny colored smoke bombs which detonated upon impact with the floor. Naruto lightly kissed his stepbrother on the cheek before they stepped into the kitchen. "Now come on, no birthday is complete without the song."

"No, really, you don't," Kiba began before his mother raised her arms like a mock conductor. Everyone started singing the birthday song, and Kiba just wore a twisted frown. Naruto tapped him on the nose as they finished and gave Kiba a birthday kiss which the brunette enjoyed as the song ended. He giggled a bit before saying "thanks." Hana brought out the elaborate cake she and Naruto had made, and Kiba's mouth fell open. "Co…co…coco, COCONUT!" he yelled. Tsume caught him by the back of the collar when he sprang for it.

"First, make a wish and blow out the candles, then we will serve a piece to everyone, then you can have some," she spoke. Kiba grunted in disappointment, but he closed his eyes and wished before blowing out all fourteen sparking candles. His friends clapped for him, and then Hana divided the cake into thirteen slices, one good-sized piece per person.

"Mmmmmm, yeaaah," Kiba moaned in satisfaction. "I love you Hana."

"Hey, Naruto helped, a lot actually," she replied. "Thank him." Kiba turned to do so, but the blond caught him in a kiss as he smiled.

"You're welcome," the blond spoke before they fed each other a forkful. "Wow, this is really good. Crunchy coconut, soft on the inside, rich, and just sweet enough. How do you guys like it?" Everyone put their thumbs up high in the air as they chewed and savored the delicious confection. Lee's eyes lit up in that fangirl sparkle, and he cried tears of joy to be eating the cake. Ten minutes later, Tsume clapped loudly twice for attention.

"Thanks for coming guys. You made it a really awesome party," she spoke. "Now, before we toss you out for the night, it's time for the birthday boy to open his presents." Naruto's memory sparked, and he ran upstairs to get the pajamas. He was happy that nothing had torn up his gift. Kurumaru even kept himself from messing with it. When he came back down, Kiba was holding a snakeskin wallet courtesy of Shino. "And Ino's present," his mother spoke as she handed the rectangular box wrapped in shiny blue paper to the dog-boy. Kiba opened it readily, and he blushed when he saw the contents behind a plastic sheet. "Ooo, this stuff's fancy. My son's first real cologne. Someone trying to step in on Naruto?" she asked deviously. The yellow-haired boy was of course standing their smirking.

"Trust me, she doesn't stand a chance," he declared as he looked over at Ino. He knew she wasn't really trying to go after Kiba. Truth be told, she had asked Naruto what would be a good gift. Kiba's body odor came up as an issue, and he approved the idea. "That stuff smells great. I think it compliments you rather well Kiba."

"Thanks Ino," Kiba told her with a smile and a bit of humor. He picked up the box from Neji. "It's a book. Call of the Wild? Harr harr Neji." Everyone got a small kick out of that. Hinata's gift was a bit better though, a calligraphy kit. "You guys are awesome."

"Open mine next Kiba," Naruto insisted. "Oh, and girls, hands off, no matter how tempting."

"Oh come on, don't tell me it's some naughty thing," Ino began. "Knowing you, you probably made a mold of your little toy." Naruto raised an eyebrow and blushed, and now Kiba looked worried.

"Trust me little bro, it's nothing like that," Hana told him. The brunette hesitantly drew back the silver paper, and everyone leaned in for a closer look. Naruto had the hand sign ready, and when Sakura and Ino sprang with a "no way!" shadow clones held them off.

"Pajamas?" Kiba asked. Naruto smiled and rolled his eyes.

"At least feel them before you judge," the blond told him a bit in rebuke. "Sheesh, two-hundred bucks and that's the thanks I get?" Everyone turned to him as though he was insane and delusional. "Don't believe it? Read the label." Kiba felt over the tiger fur and found it to be luscious both inside and out.

"God Naruto, this is awesome," Kiba told him. His grateful smile showed how proud he was of Naruto too. "Real tiger fur? Jeez, what am I gonna get you for your birthday? I don't have that kind of money."

"I never could get you anything special, and the stuff I managed to make wasn't very good, so I went all out," the blond replied. "Those will be perfect for when winter rolls around." Everyone viewed the price tag in shock. "Happy birthday Kiba."

"Aw, come here my sweet little fox you," Kiba spoke. He hugged Naruto tightly. "Thanks a bunch." Naruto had perfected his fake yawn, and he used it at last. "Aw, getting tired?" The blond nodded.

"It's fine. You finish up," his mate told him before giving him a kiss on the forehead. "If I'm already asleep, sorry. It's been a long day." As Naruto walked off, he winked at Tsume and Hana. "Goodnight guys," he called with another fake yawn.

"Night Naruto," Sakura called back. Everyone told him goodnight and waved at him as he went upstairs. Chouji's present was up next.

"If you thought that was good Kiba, this should be fun," Naruto spoke deviously as he got his bag of goods down from behind the Inuzuka "Great Mates" Award. The blond slid off his boots, socks, pants, and boxers before sliding on the indeed tight as all get out black leather underwear. He took several deep breaths and stretched this way and that to get used to them. It worked somewhat. Naruto could feel his ass stretching the leather just a bit. Considering how fit he was, it seemed impossible for someone else to safely fit inside. "Probably should have broken these in," he spoke before pulling his orange pants back on. Naruto hid his boxers though under Akamaru's basket to hide the scent. "Do your magic Kyuubi."

"You really are the single hottest human guy I've ever met Naruto-Kun," the fox spoke before making Naruto's body process a series of alluring and seductive pheromones. He wouldn't be releasing them until Kiba was already inside the room though. "You have quite the creatively erotic mind."

"Shut up before I get hard," Naruto told him. "It's already tight."

"Bye guys," Kiba called out the door as his friends walked out. He sighed happily as he shut the door; he was carrying Naruto's gift in its box. "Alright, guess it's time I help clean up."

"That can wait until tomorrow morning," Tsume told him. "Get upstairs before Naruto falls asleep. He really does want to spend time with you on your birthday." Kiba thankfully kissed her on the cheek before going upstairs. "Huh, he never did that before."

The door creaked open. "Naruto?" Kiba asked into the dark room. The blond smiled as he sat up. "Hey, you're awake."

"Couldn't let the others find out what I was really wanting to say," Naruto replied as he seductively made his way over to his mate and shut the door silently. He even went as far as to lock it. "Ready for a fun night my beautiful canine?" Kiba was a bit surprised by these comments, actions, and questions, but his heart told him to play along. He softly put Naruto's tiger pajamas on the dresser. The blond surprised him by snaking his hands under his shirt and feeling strongly over Kiba's abs.

"Aah, Naruto," he sighed.

"Get in bed," Naruto told him quietly with a smile as he removed his hands. Kiba did as he was told, and Naruto went above him and kissed him passionately, sucking sounds appearing here and there as the blond held his head and deepened their kiss. "It's your birthday, so you're topping tonight," the blond explained as he turned around, his butt now facing the brunette rather awkwardly. "I have a couple other gifts for you actually."

"What sick joke is this?" Kiba asked skeptically and partially in anger. Naruto frowned.

"Trust me won't you? I worked hard to give you a good birthday, and I'm not done yet," the blond spoke emotionally, not crying, but there was some hurt sitting in his eyes.

"Naruto," Kiba sighed in surrender. He placed his fingers under the waistband of the orange pants. "Seriously, this better not be some…" He stopped when Naruto's gift was revealed. Kiba read the word "foxy" and got a nosebleed. "Holy crap!" Kiba quietly exclaimed as he grabbed a tissue. "You son of a bitch," he said humorously. "Where did you even get these?" Kiba asked as he massaged his fox through the tight leather. Naruto removed his orange pants completely before turning around. Kiba was getting turned on now with Kyuubi's pheromones coming into effect. Naruto was left almost completely exposed, and when Kiba reached for his underwear, the blond quickly stopped him. He got up to Kiba's confusion and brought back a white box. Naruto lifted the cover to reveal the leash and collar. "Hey, that's just being cruel," Kiba spoke angrily.

"Kiba," Naruto sighed. He placed the collar around his own neck and dropped the end of the leash in his hand. The brunette now looked apologetic. "I thought you trusted me."

"I'm sorry Naruto," the brunette replied before nuzzling the blond and kissing him lovingly. "Can I make it up to you?" Naruto smiled.

"Ya, you can love me, nice and rough," the blond spoke huskily into his ear, making Kiba shiver in delight and anticipation for what was to come. "You're completely the dominant tonight, just like you deserve on your birthday. But, I have one final gift for you." Kiba looked curious. What more could Naruto really give him? He had already done so much. The blond flipped through a couple hand signs and was surrounded by a puff of white smoke for a couple seconds. When it cleared, Kiba's eyes widened in shock. "You said I was your fox on multiple occasions. Now, you can really make that claim." Kiba looked him over in surprise, lust, and a bit of fear too. Naruto looked completely like he did when he was using Kyuubi's chakra, claws, eyes, the whole bit. The new features though were a red tail which swayed behind him and a pair of reddish orange fox ears. "Oh, you don't like it?" Naruto asked a bit in disappointment.

"Naruto, are you still…you?" Kiba asked worryingly. Naruto's expression lightened.

"It is a bit much, but I thought you deserved the perfect night," the blond spoke with a loving smile. "Do you want me to get rid of it?" he asked more humbly. Naruto's look definitely didn't reflect confidence in himself.

"Well," Kiba began quietly as he looked into Naruto's eyes and held him by his shoulders. "You can keep the rest for tonight, but I much prefer your eyes." A puff of smoke, and it was done. "You're the best Naruto," he spoke sweetly. Kiba brought them into a soft kiss, and the blond immediately opened his mouth for his mate. The brunette's warm tongue worked its way in, and Kiba's brow furled in confusion when he felt Naruto's canines.

"I just did them puppy size, so they wouldn't cause a big problem," Naruto told him with a small smile. "Should I lose 'em?" His stepbrother shook his head.

"I really appreciate you trying so hard Naruto," Kiba spoke. "Might as well get over to the bed."

"Might as well get your clothes off too," his blond replied with a small and partially seductive smile as the index claw on his left hand lightly swished the zipper this way and that at the top of Kiba's sweatshirt. Kiba used the leash for the first time by lightly pulling on it to get the blond over to the bed. "Hm, this should be fun." The brunette laid down and gestured for Naruto to join him. His now completely fox blond stepped over and got up before kissing Kiba lovingly. Naruto used his elbows to support himself, but he found that he couldn't undo Kiba's jacket zipper this way. "Let me help," the brunette insisted as he turned them on their sides. Naruto smiled deviously before pulling the zipper down slowly…very slowly. Kiba began getting impatient, so Naruto just discarded the jacket in a corner. His t-shirt and shinobi armor shirt fell away quickly too, and the blond's tail rose and swayed lightly as he gazed at his mate.

"I never get tired of looking at you Kiba," Naruto spoke before wrapping his arms around the brunette and kissing him. The collar tightened around his neck swiftly, not to the point of suffocation, but it constricted his breathing so that he coughed and pulled up. He looked at Kiba a bit in distress looking for an answer.

"Bad fox," Kiba chastised him, but still quietly and without harshness, as the grip slackened. "You said it was my night to be the dominant one. I make the decisions." Naruto frowned slightly in disappointment as he regained the last of his breath. "I love you," the brunette spoke quietly as he wrapped his arms around Naruto's bare chest and brought him back down onto the bed. Kiba contently and lovingly stared into his mate's eyes, and Naruto did the same as he smiled and his tail went back and forth slowly. The dog-boy slowly brought their lips together, and Naruto opened without question. Kiba never made a move though, and a slight tightening of the collar told the blond the rest of the story. He licked at the bottom of the brunette's lip softly, and Kiba smiled as he opened for his oh so perfect mate. Naruto went slowly so as to prove his restraint and that he meant it for Kiba, and his lover responded by caressing his seal with acceptance and love. "Good foxy," he spoke after they softly broke apart. "Would you mind helping me with something else though?" Kiba asked as his stare traveled southward. Naruto saw the bulge in his pants and smiled deviously.

"Yes master, I'd be delighted to," the blond replied. His left hand gripped Kiba lightly and pleasured him through the fabric, but he knew not to keep the boy waiting too long. Naruto undid the zipper as he licked his stepbrother's neck submissively. Kiba moaned lightly as his eyes closed.

"Naruto," he spoke quietly as he enjoyed these actions. The brown pants slid off, and a claw played with his tip, causing tingling sensations. "Quit teasing," Kiba spoke breathily. Naruto stopped his licking and put two fingers under the waistband. It seemed to take an eternity for the gray boxers to slide completely away and give Kiba's member some air, but he sighed when it was done.

"Breathtaking," Naruto breathed. He licked along Kiba's abdominals, the sweet, strong hills of sensitive muscle which allowed his stepbrother such enjoyment. The brunette was already hard, but he didn't want to hurt Naruto by just jumping in. Kiba pulled on the leash a bit, and he brought Naruto into a passionate and partially lusty kiss. Now the blond had a real problem as he became erect, the squeezing. "Ah, Kiba, I know this is your night, but could you please help me with something? I have a serious case of sore nuts." he spoke with a distorted face. The brunette looked down and was further aroused by the bulge in the black leather. Kiba would have attacked Naruto then and rammed him into oblivion were it not for the fact he was in pain. He carefully slid the underwear over Naruto's erection, and Kiba paid extra careful attention when he got to Naruto's sac. The brunette pulled the pants a little towards himself to give the sensitive things some room. Naruto was already much happier, but Kiba completely removed the leather nuisance.

"Stunning," the brunette spoke as he held Naruto by his hips as he supported himself on his knees and sat straight up. Kiba felt over his abdominals with his left hand, and his fox shivered from the touch. "Hn, kiss me my mate," he asked as he lightly pulled on the leash. While Naruto was technically above him, Kiba wanted their bodies to be in contact. His right hand held the blond's upper back, and Kiba's left hand held the back of his head. "Would you like some help Naruto?" the Inuzuka asked as he softly wrapped his warm hand around the fox's cock.

"Later," Naruto spoke softly. "First, I have a gift for you." He pulled back, and Kiba let the leash slacken as he laid back and simply picked his head up to watch. The blond crawled to his lower regions and stopped as he eyed his prize. "You seem to be enjoying yourself quite a bit," he commented as he pushed the eight-inch shaft to the side and let it spring back and sway a bit. Kiba moaned when a warm breath graced him, and suddenly he was encased in a beautiful and inexplicable bliss. Naruto's mouth contained him entirely, and the brunette turned to mush as he collapsed to enjoy. The blond licked over the head, swirling this way and that, and each sweep either tore a moan from Kiba or a shift in his body because he couldn't take the sensual overload.

"Ah, Naruto," Kiba spoke. The blond began slowly licking up and down his shaft, tip to base, slow and yet so enjoyable. Naruto knew all of his sweet spots by heart, and he made sure to get all of them on every sweep. Kiba arched when his head was engulfed once again. The blond began slowly bobbing, each one pushing Kiba just the tiniest bit closer to release, but he was maybe only halfway. "Damn it I love you Naruto." His mate came off with a sucking pop and smiled at his sweaty stepbrother.

"Thanks Kiba," he spoke before going back down. One clawed hand wrapped around Kiba's shaft as his mouth took the head again. The brunette was absolutely melting under his technique. Down a bit, twist mouth around, pump, lift, and repeat. Kiba moaned loudly when Naruto purposely graced him with his teeth, softly bringing them over his sensitive head. The blond was through playing games though. He swallowed Kiba whole and began working his devilish magic on him.

"Ah, Naruto…fffuck," Kiba managed to get out. His hips began thrusting up lightly, and Naruto matched the rhythms as he sucked and licked at the same time. "Gonna, cum Naruto." Good, that was what the blond fox was after. A few more impossibly delicious movements brought Kiba over the edge. "Oh, Naruuutooooo," the brunette moaned. He was absolutely out of breath as he kept thrusting upward and Naruto deep throated him. Naruto brought the head back up to his main mouth cavity and swirled his tongue over it to bring Kiba to the end. His brunette shook in pleasure as his seed leaked out into Naruto's skilled mouth. The blond milked him of everything before swallowing and smiling at his mate.

"I love you Kiba," the blond whispered.

"Don't I know it," Kiba responded breathily. "Come up here foxy." He didn't even need to pull on the leash. Naruto was beside him quickly with his tail swaying happily. Kiba wrapped his arms around the blond and began kissing him lovingly. They were tired, but sleep wasn't going to embrace them yet; Naruto hadn't received his fair fucking. The brunette caressed his seal, and Naruto used his surprisingly dexterous tail to tweak one of Kiba's nipples. It softly rubbed over nearly every inch of his body, and Kiba was in wonder as he held the back of Naruto's head. His thumb graced the pointy fox ear, and Kiba finally took more notice of them. He lightly took Naruto's left ear in his hand and massaged the velvety thing. Naruto smiled and lightly moaned under the loving touch. Even though Kiba had frightened him once with the collar, he felt protected by his alpha. In the end, they really shared their roles, protecting and treasuring, loving and caring for, taking and being taken. "I could never choose someone over you Naruto," Kiba spoke softly as he moved his hands to back behind the blond. "You're so amazing. Will you always love me?"

"Do you really need to ask?" Naruto replied before softly bringing their lips together. Kiba brought his hands to the blond's tight ass, but he softly massaged it, giving that small and protecting pleasure to his mate. The brunette nuzzled the whiskers on his stepbrother, and they were also very soft. Everything about Naruto except his fighting was soft, and that was something Kiba knew he could find in no other. "Your birthday's not over yet Kiba," Naruto told him softly. "Ready for round two? Your little buddy sure is." Kiba blushed lightly as he realized his hardness was in contact with his mate's stomach.

"Just let me get the lube," the brunette told him as he began to get up. Naruto pulled him back down though. "Hey," Kiba complained.

"Earlier I asked you to love me, nice and rough," Naruto reminded him as he let Kyuubi's final set of pheromones loose. "I can take it raw."

"But Naruto, it's been over a week since I topped," Kiba began, the pheromones not yet having hit him. "You're practically a virgin again. I don't want, to hurt…you." His mind had slowed considerably. Naruto smiled that his mate was thinking of him so much, but he was the one giving the present. Kiba's hands grew claws, and his fangs grew like in his man-beast clones. Naruto could smell his arousal, and he laid back submissively baring his neck for his now certainly hyped up mate. "Ready?" Kiba asked as he climbed above Naruto. The blond smiled and tilted his head back further. "Good." The now horny and half-possessed brunette began nibbling on his fox ears, and Naruto moaned for him. "Enjoying yourself?"

"Yes Kiba," Naruto answered.

"Then this should progress things a bit more," Kiba told him before grinding their unclothed erections together, making Naruto arch and go wide-eyed. The brunette possessively licked his neck, and the blond was practically unable to move, entranced by this. "Suck," the brunette ordered as he held three fingers above the blond's face. Naruto took them into his mouth obediently and worked his tongue in between each of the digits. "Yes, get them nice and coated. Can't have you bleeding now can we?" The blond shockingly realized the claws topping each of the fingers. That would not be good if those went in him. "Oh, don't worry about these," Kiba told him as he held the claws in front of Naruto's eyes. "It wouldn't be fair if I sliced you open. Then you wouldn't be able to enjoy it." The claws retracted to Naruto's relief, and the brunette took him by the feet and put them on his shoulders. "Relaaaax Naruto. I don't want to hurt you." His mate didn't like the tone of voice, but he tried his best to relax as an index finger traced over his hole. Naruto's lips were claimed as Kiba leaned over him. He moaned as the brunette lightly ground their hips together, but his eyes went wide as a slicked finger entered him way too quickly. "I told you to relax."

"Agh, Kiba," Naruto winced as a tear came to him. He wanted it rough, but this was definitely bordering on abusive. His mate did stop for a while though as his neck was licked and his erection received a slow, frictional pleasure. Naruto's insides stopped clenching, and the finger went to work, hooking up so that the fox's prostate was rubbed. The blond had a sharp intake of air.

"See? I don't want to hurt you," Kiba told him. "Come on Naruto, enjoy yourself with me." Something in his words began turning Naruto on, and as long as his prostate was happy, a little stinging wouldn't be unbearable. "That's it my brave and strong little fox." A second finger pushed in, and Naruto smiled as he arched backward. Sure, there was pain, but it didn't have the hurt that the first one did. Kyuubi was secretly responsible, screwing with his jinchuuriki's brain. "Good, now you're enjoying yourself." Naruto bared his neck, and Kiba laid his claim by giving him a love bite, a hickey which turned a dark blue after it sat for a while. "Mine," he spoke before a third finger pushed into the blond and began stretching him out. Naruto thrusted onto his fingers. "You're such a good uke," Kiba told his mate. He kissed Naruto lustily, ravishing his mouth. The blond was hormonally high, and so his clouded and yet so happy mind told him to just accept it and enjoy the treatment he was receiving. Naruto moaned as the fingers were pulled from him.

"Please keep going my mate," he asked.

"What should I do?" the brunette asked evilly. Naruto frowned. "Beg for it." This was said with a pulling of the leash and a tightening of Naruto's air pipe.

"P-Please," the blond got out. The grip slackened enough for him to talk normally. "Please, I want you in me. Take me, nice and rough." It would normally be so humiliating, but Naruto didn't care right then. His body wanted relief, and Kyuubi had his mind in his hand.

"Good foxy," Kiba spoke as he leaned down and kissed his mate more softly, lovingly. Naruto wrapped his hands around his head and back, and his tail massaged the brunette's abdominals. When they broke off, Kiba was back in lusty dominant mode. "Go on all fours." His blond smiled and obeyed, exposing himself for the brunette to take. He felt the head of Kiba's member touching his entrance as the brunette leaned over him, but the entry did not come yet. Deliciously warm and strong hands examined every one of Naruto's features first. "Such a firm ass, strong legs, wonderful hips." Kiba massaged his ass roughly, tearing a lusty moan from his fox. Hands felt over his hips and his inner thighs, making him shake. Kiba's right hand snaked down and traveled up Naruto's member. "Very nice, perfect in fact." A tight grip and a pump tore another moan from his waiting blond.

"Please Kiba, I want you in me now!" Naruto told him with a touch of anger and every ounce of sexual want his body could muster.

"Very well then," the brunette declared as he firmly gripped Naruto's hips and supported himself on his knees. He took a deep breath before quickly burying himself harshly within Naruto.

"KIBAAAA!" the blond yelled out as his insides clenched down on the intrusion. Tears escaped his eyes. What pleasure there was was overshadowed by the intense pain. Naruto's claws tore into the sheets, and he shivered. His mate had moaned when he entered, but he was more concerned with his hurt fox. Kiba leaned down and wrapped his arms around the blond's chest.

"I am sorry my mate," Kiba spoke softly. "Perhaps we were a bit hasty in our decisions." He caringly nuzzled the blond and tried to bring him comfort. Kyuubi now felt sorry for Naruto. The blond was a natural alpha, not a beta. A birthday gift gone awry was what this had turned into. "Are you alright?" Kiba asked caringly. Naruto nodded as he sniffled and clenched his teeth. "It's alright. I will wait." He caressed Naruto's scalp with his left hand, and the other hand traced the seal in apology in an attempt to relax his mate entirely. Kiba kissed his stepbrother lovingly, and the red-orange tail came up and lightly rubbed his right clan marking. "Where did you get the idea for the tail anyway?" he asked in curiosity as he felt over the soft appendage. It was warm like the rest of Naruto's body, and it did add a sexual appeal to him as well. Maybe it was just a dog to dog/fox thing.

"Well," Naruto began as he still felt the pressure of being stretched and filled. "I figured, one for each year we're together. I'll put two on at the end of next Mating Season and on your birthday, and the next year there'll be three. Once we hit nine, I'll stop adding, but we'll find something else to make the future years meaningful." Now Kiba felt sad. Sure, Naruto had asked to be loved roughly, but he had overdone it, to the point of nearly choking Naruto and even hurting him physically. The blond also thought that his gift was a bad idea now. Sure, it was given in the right spirit, and Kiba had accepted it correctly at first, but he had to pour pheromones on top of it.

"I'm sorry Naruto," Kiba spoke as he held his stepbrother lovingly. He had abused his gift, and far more than the small amount of abuse the blond was after. After a certain point, light stings and pains were no longer erotic; they were hurtful. "Listen, you gave me a good birthday. Let's just go to sleep." He began pulling out, but Naruto lightly smiled and thrusted back as well, keeping his mate within him. "Huh?"

"Kiba," Naruto lightly giggled. "It was kinda my fault too. I shouldn't have pushed you too quickly. Look where that got us. But, my ass isn't killing me anymore. If you're not too tired, would you mind making love with me?" Kiba smiled and undid his collar, but Naruto chose to keep his fox cover on. The leash was tossed to the side, its need no longer apparent. The brunette kissed his mate, and the orange tail wrapped around his waist. "Don't go all out, but a bit rougher than usual, okay?" Kiba nodded as he sat back up and grabbed hold of Naruto's hips. He slowly drew out of the tight hole, and they both moaned from the feeling. When Kiba was almost completely out, with just the head being contained, he pounded back in completely. Naruto moaned and arched from the pleasure as his prostate was hit. Kiba took hold of his softened member and began fondling it along with his balls. "Nnn, Kiba I love you."

"You too Naruto," the brunette responded as he rubbed his thumb over the cockhead. He put one knee up so that he balanced with his foot, and Kiba could stay up easier and aim better this way. "I'll start slow, but I promise you'll get your rough play."

"This is what makes the difference between us and a lot of other pairs Kiba," Naruto spoke as he savored the feeling of his prostate being lightly rubbed against slowly in and out and over again. "No matter what, we take each other into consideration first." Kiba smiled, and a tear left his eye as he heard this. Naruto was hardening once more, and so Kiba grasped his dick firmly. "Mmmmh, take me away Kiba."

"Nice and rough," the brunette answered as he sped up a bit. He began jerking his mate off, and Naruto used his tail to bring them together more harshly than before. It was better, but not quite what Naruto wanted yet. Kiba however, refused to hurt him. He matched rhythms of thrusting and pumping first, and he continued fondling the blond's sac. "Rougher Naruto?" he asked as he leaned down next to the blond's ear.

"Yes Kiba, please," Naruto asked him. His request was fulfilled, and he moaned as his prostate was more thoroughly abused. "Perfect Kiba," he moaned. The hand which was fondling him left, and the blond yelped when he received a firm yet loving spank. "Ah, damn it you're so good." Their bodies worked in synch, crashing together with a little slap, Kiba massaging him and then spanking Naruto as he roughly thrusted into his tight hole.

"So tight Naruto," Kiba spoke as he tilted his head back. "Aaaah." Their rhythm increased to both boys' satisfaction. The rhythms stayed together too, so Naruto happily helped as he was pleasured by the one he loved so much. Kiba could tell his blond was nearing release, because the collisions became subtly harder and harder, more desperate. "Come on Naruto. Cum for me my mate."

"So close Kiba," Naruto spoke loudly. He just needed a little more before he'd spill.

"Who do you belong to Uzumaki Naruto?!" Kiba roared as he himself drew dangerously close.

"Inuzuka…KIBAAAAAA!" Naruto screamed as his euphoria overtook him. Kiba quickly came down and claimed his lips before the blond's semen shot forth, leaving a few strands on the blond's chest, one on each of their faces, and the rest in the sheets. Each thrust gloriously struck his prostate, seeming to extend his orgasm, causing such delicious pleasure which only his true mate could bring him. Kiba moaned into his mouth as his own release overtook him. With Naruto's inner walls holding him tightly even as he managed to thrust through it, Kiba could not resist the feeling. His orgasm was very strong, and he moaned loudly into Naruto's mouth as his hot seed spilled into his loving mate. An eternity seemed to pass between each of his final thrusts, and what eternities they were for both young boys.

"Kami, Naruto," Kiba breathed after they broke off. He and the blond collapsed on their sides, panting heavily. A puff of white smoke encased Naruto for a while, his fox features disappearing. They stayed like this for several minutes, Kiba's hand not moving from the sticky and soft organ of his stepbrother, and Naruto could barely move either. His brunette drew out and managed to turn the blond towards him. "I love you so much Naruto."

"I love you too Kiba, now and forever," the blond replied. He wrapped his legs around Kiba's waist and drew them together. "I am yours, and you are mine, forever mates. Happy birthday Kiba." Naruto brought their lips together passionately as he held the back of Kiba's head, and the brunette drew the covers over them before they fell asleep lovingly embracing…sticky, sweaty, and exhausted.

The next day Naruto had a limp. This was the first time it had happened, and it certainly wouldn't be the last.

Author Notes: One more chapter to go. Try and guess what it will be about. It should be obvious, but don't over think it.
