Naruto braced himself as Sasuke came running at him. He did not know what to expect from the raven running towards him. The look on the raven's face showed rage as he charged forward. Naruto did nothing as Sasuke charged at him with his fist raised, ready to strike. As Sasuke got closer, his fist lowered and he tackled Naruto to the ground. Naruto let the momentum take him down as the raven straddled his chest. Naruto closed his eyes and waited for the blows to come as he knew he deserved, but instead he felt something wet hit his face. Sasuke was crying with his hands braced on either side of Naruto's head.
"Why? Why did you go?" The tears didn't stop. It didn't take long before the raven started pounding on his chest with hand curled into fists. Naruto did not move. He just laid there it. He took all the anger and sorrow Sasuke had. He was the cause of all Sasuke's pain. Kurama was the only thing that kept the raven going by promising his return and making sure he ate. The crimson fox was not the only reason he came back. After all this time, the only reason he did not give up on finding the assholes who were after him sooner and come home was the fact that they would come after his loved ones. He could not let that happen and he also had to make sure he had his demon chakra he got from Kurama under complete control. He did not want to be the reason his loved ones died if he lost control. Even then there was no reason not to contact Sasuke to let him know that he was alive and well.
" I'm sorry my raven for making you so sad and upset. I can not apologize enough for hurting you." Naruto brought his arms up and wrapped them around Sasuke's slim shoulder and brought him into a tight embrace as the raven continued to cry.
"I'm sorry Naruto. I could not help Kurama. He just kept getting sicker and sicker. No matter what I did and I feared the worse he became that you would not be able t make back from wherever you were." The raven's tears did not stop falling and Naruto did not loosen him grip on the crying man even as he noticed Shukaku coming towards them.
" Hey Shukaku, where is Gaara at? I didn't think you two could be very far apart for long." Naruto inquired as he slowly got off the floor with Sasuke's toned legs wrapped around his waist as the raven held on tightly to Naruto's shoulders as he continued to cry against his neck. The tears falling more then sadness. They were tears of happiness that Naruto was back, tears of sadness for being left behind, and tears regret that he could not do one thing for Naruto by taking care of Kurama.
"Since the ritual he has been able to spend about two months in Suna while training his replacement before I join him for a week or vice versa. While here he has been spending time with Shino and they seem to be becoming an item." Shukaku said as she watched the blonde set Sasuke down in the chair he had vacated when Kistune jumped up fro the bed. She watched as the tears were wiped away with a gentle touch before Naruto stood up and walked over to the side of the bed that Kurama was closest to. He carefully removed hair from the crimson fox's face before placing he hand in the middle of Kurama's chest. The other occupants in the room watched fascinated as Naruto's hand turned red and that same red travel across Kurama's prone body.
"What's is he doing?" Sasuke asked Shukaku quietly so he did not brake Naruto's concertation.
"he is sharing his chakra to straighten the bond faster instead of just being close. It will probably that a lot out of him with how weak Kurama is and how strong their bond normally is. You can actually already see the strain showing on Naruto. He is already drenched in sweat." Shukaku replied as she stared at the man standing in front of her. Sure enough when Sasuke focused on Naruto he saw the sweat that formed already and he also noticed him swaying slightly as he continued to pour chakra into the unconscious fox on the bed. In a second Sasuke was on his feet and behind Naruto and at just the right moment. The tall blondish male started to collapse but he was caught by Sasuke and Kurama as the fox shot his hand out to catch Naruto's wrist while Sasuke caught him around the waist to keep him upright.
"Damn it Naruto, that was to much chakra at once even for you." Kurama said as he scooted over on the bed so Sasuke could lay him down on the bed to recuperate after the large chakra transfusion.
"He had to Kurama. Even half of that amount of chakra would not have brought you out of the coma you were in for months and on top of that you were really close to death's door." Shukaku checked the stubborn fox over with quick justu scan to make sure he was truly out of the woods now. She also scanned Naruto to make sure he didn't do any damage to himself in the transference. Thankfully both of the stubborn foxes would be just fine." He is going to need to stay by Kurama's side for a day or two for the bond to fully stabilize but other than that they will be just fine." Shukaku told Sasuke as the raven gently ran his fingers out the multi colored hair that belonged to his lover. It seemed that even thou Naruto had abandoned Sasuke five years ago the raven was still madly in love with the crazy golden fox. But she was not there when the blonde first left. The day after the incident she had to return to Suna with Gaara who was need back in his village. When she returned after every thing settled down he was in better spirits the ghost that Kurama had carried back to the village hidden in the leaves. Now that she thought about it, he did not turn into a ghost again until Kurama fell ill. She guessed that he knew why Naruto truly left and how deeply the two foxes were actually connected. When look at that way she began to she that Sasuke was worried for both Naruto and Kurama' fates since if one died so would the other. She decided that the three men needed some alone time together and left Kurama's room to make some much need food for everyone in the house since she had a feeling that Naruto would be just as hungry as Kurama and maybe she could finally get Sasuke to properly eat something since Kurama first fell ill.
