Chapter Four

'Damn it!' she cursed in her mind. She punched the tree repeatedly feeling blood dripping down her knuckles. She couldn't believe how people treat him. Believing that he was weak and Sasuke was so much better than him when it wasn't true. She threw one last hard punch and let out a scream of frustration. She had come to the forest because nature had always calmed her. She stood there silently panting. She tensed when she felt another person's presence. Slowly she turned, her heart speeding. There stood a young boy with dark glasses and a high collared jacket, covering half his face.

Shino had been training when he felt a strong chakra. He had stayed and watched the girl beat away at the tree until her knuckles bled brightly. Before he could stop himself he found he was moving closer. He saw her tense as he took her hands trying to assess the damage. His eye widened behind his glasses as tiny spiders danced over her flesh healing the wounds. The girl snatched her hands back, hugging them close to her chest. Eden had seen the shock when her spiders came out ; she was used to that. The always scared people when they came out, but for some reason it hurt knowing he would be afraid of her now.

"I'm sorry they tend to freak people out," she whispered looking away.

"They didn't freak me out," he responded slowly pull pulling her face back toward him. "Not many people I know are like me." He pulled his collar down to show the girl the kikai bugs.

"Oh my gods," she said stunned. Shino took her hand and pulled her to the abused tree. He sat down with his back against it and tugged her next to him.

"You don't have to tell me, but I'll admit I am curious as to why you were beating this tree," he said lightly. He didn't know what possessed him, but he wanted to talk to this girl. He had only felt like this with Kiba. The thought of the beautiful dog boy brought a sigh from his lips. Eden saw his face darken and figured he would tell her what was wrong if she told him. She let out a huff and proceeded to let the words flow.

Shikamaru opened the door cautiously with Chouji behind him. They had decided to take Dani up on her offer, but Ino refused. He felt a slight pressure of his hand and squeezed back lovingly. He smiled back at Chouji, pulled him forward, and kissed him lightly. Naruto's suicide attempt had scared him and mad him think seriously; death could come at any time for a nin. If he died without admitting his feelings to his best friend he would regret it for the rest of his afterlife. Fortunately for him the other boy returned his feelings. They walked into the bare apartment searching for the girl. Chouji tugged on his arm and pulled him to the couch. There the brunette was napping peacefully curled up on her side. Shikamaru didn't want to wake her when she looked so cute sleeping like that. 'Cute?' He had never thought a girl cute for any reason.

"Aw, she looks adorable," Chouji whispered quietly. He looked up at his lover with a soft smile. "Let's go. She can treat us another time." Shikamaru nodded and began to move when Dani's hand shot out and grabbed the back of his shirt.

"Where are you going?" she slurred while waking up. She yawned sitting up Indian style. Chouji chuckled when her loose hair fell into her face. She pushed it back with a curse and began braiding it. "I owe you some food."

"It's ok," Chouji said denying free food for the first time in his life. "Go back to sleep."

"Nah, I'm good," she replied with a smile. She stood up and stretched with her hands behind her back. "I'm always doing one of four things: sleeping, eating, watching the sky, or playing games. Don't bother about waking me up. It's no big deal."

"If you're sure it's not a problem," Shikamaru replied.

"Nope, besides I'm hungry," she smiled. "So where do you want to go?"

Naruto groaned as he woke up. He looked to his left and found dark eyes staring back at him. He blushed as he remembered those eyes light by lust and those hands running over him. 'No! Don't think that way,' he thought frantically as he realized he was still hard from the dream.

"You're finally awake dobe," Sasuke whispered. He noticed the wince at the word and immediately regretted using it. He was going to apologize when a knock sounded on the door. He glowered at it while Naruto unthinkingly answered it. Kiba walked in noticing how close the dark haired boy was to the kitsune. He smelled the musk coming off Naruto, but not the Uchiha; meaning his poor friend was probably uncomfortable with the other boy's closeness. He sent a glare to the pale boy.

"I want to talk to Naruto alone," he growled. Sasuke was about to refuse when he saw the big grin on the blond's face. 'Why is Naruto so happy to see the stupid mutt?'

"Fine," he scowled marching out. He left the door open a crack and leaned against the wall so he could see Naruto. Kiba smirked knowing the other boy was still there, he could still smell him clearly, He crawled on the bed slowly, as if he were stalking prey, and straddled the blond's hips feeling the hardness pressing against him. He really wanted to play with the kitsune, but he couldn't seem to get hard after the incident with Shino. He leaned up and kissed the blond's pouty lips. Naruto parted his lips as Kiba lapped at them. 'Damnit that dream got me so horny,' Naruto thought groaning as the other boy's tongue twirled around his. He moved his hands up to touch the dog boy, but his arms were held back. He opened his eyes with a curious look.

"Just let me do this for you," he said and then added, "I need to talk with you later," in a whisper low enough that only they could hear. Sasuke felt intense rage and jealousy warning in him as the mutt began touching his Naruto. 'My Naruto?' Despite his urge to barge in he stayed and watched. Kiba slowly slipped his hand under the kitsune's pants, gently wrapped his fingers around the hard shaft. Naruto moaned bucking into the hand. It only took a few pumps before Naruto came in Kiba's hand. Sasuke had fled to his room after seeing Naruto's ecstacy. "That was quick," Kiba said grabbing some tissues and cleaning his hand.

"Sorry, I had a really incredibly hot dream before hand," the blond laughed. He ran his hand up and down Kiba's arms in a comforting manner. "You always want to play you horndog. So tell me what's wrong."

"Something happened with Shino earlier," he said looking away.

/Kiba moaned as Shino sucked at him right nipple while pulling the other with his fingers. That combined with the grinding was creating a pure sensory overload. He bucked his hips upward into the hand wrapped around him. His mind was racing faster than his heart. He couldn't believe this was finally happening. "Shino," he groaned feeling himself getting closer and it was beginning to feel painful. It was the sound of his name that snapped him back to reality. He looked at his teammate under him with a pained look on his face. 'Oh gods, what am I doing?' he thought angry at himself for hurting him. He quickly removed himself from the other boy and fled ashamed at his actions./

"And that's what happened." Naruto sighed running his hands through the brunette's hair. While listening to the story he had leaned back pulling Kiba with him and placing his head on his chest. "I felt like such a fool and it hurt so much to see him leave like that."

"I can't believe Shino would just leave like that," Naruto said. He felt bad for the other boy. He knew he needed this comfort after being hurt by the love of his life. It was that moment that Sasuke chose to return. He threw the door open and glared icily at the mutt on top of his kitsune.

"Get out," he growled sending a scathing glare at the pair on the bed. Naruto tightened his grip on the other boy when the Sharingan user stormed in. He couldn't let Kiba go now. He knew the other boy needed comfort and knew Kiba wanted to talk to him about the suicide attempt. "I said get out." Sasuke felt rage unfurl when neither boy moved. He was so furious that he didn't realize that his Sharingan was activated. Kiba shivered at the intensity of the red eyes. 'I guess he doesn't hate Naruto after all," he thought pushing himself up. Naruto refused to let him go and clung tighter.

"It's ok," Kiba said soothingly. "I need to get home anyway." Naruto nodded his agreement reluctantly and let the boy go. "You'll be fine," he whispered kissing his forehead. He roughly brushed past the other boy and left them alone. Naruto silently counted to ten trying to hold his anger. 'The nerve of him to come in and start demanding things. What am I doing here anyway?' He caught the scent of vanilla, Alex, and decided to go to the others instead of staying with Sasuke. He stood up wobbly and headed for the door when his arm was seized in a rough grip. He turned to glare at the Uchiha boy.

"Where are you going?" Sasuke demanded.

"Away from you," Naruto spat back. Sasuke felt hurt at the harsh tone of voice.

"Why dobe?" he retorted trying to regain his emotionless mask. The blond stared at the other incredulously.

"Why? WHY?" he cried out. "You just ordered one of my best friends out without a reason!" Again hurt filled him, suffocating him before the anger returned. 'He's supposed to be my best friend,' he thought furiously. 'He's mine. My Naruto!" He tightened his grip unconsciously making the blond wince.

"I had every right," he whispered with a deadly calm.

"Bullshit! There was no reason!"

"He shouldn't have touched you!" he shouted back. Naruto blushed at the thought that Sasuke had seen them. 'Why is he so angry though?' In all the years he had known the other boy he had never heard him raise his voice to him. They stared at each other after the outburst. Pink littering both their cheeks, but neither were willing to back down.

"Why should you care! I'm nothing but a dobe to you! Loser, freak, dead last!" he shouted.

"Because you're mine!" He snarled yanking the boy closer. Naruto blinked stunned at the admission. Sasuke suddenly noticed the closeness between them and the possessiveness in his voice. "Do you hear me Naruto?" The blond gasped hearing his name on the boy's lips. Despite the slight danger at the situation, he couldn't stop the tremor that ran through him. Sasuke had never once said his name and he found himself liking the way it sounded. 'Maybe I am a masochist like Sakura said.' Naruto shook his head wordlessly staring at the boy. Believing this to be defiance Sasuke pulled him even closer, their bodies meshed together. "No one else can have you," he said in a harsh whisper. " Naruto felt his breathing increase and something inside of him cracking, pulling him apart. He opened his mouth to say something, anything, but nothing came out. "Not Orochimaru, not Itachi, Iruka, Shikamaru, and certainly not Kiba!" Naruto heart felt as if it exploded and he let out a painful scream as a bright red light filled the room. A strong force hit Sasuke, knocking him away from the blond.

"So you're one of Naruto's friends," Shino said after listening to the girl. He suppressed a grin throughout the her rant. Her face was so expressive that it was endearingly cute. It reminded him of Kiba. 'What is wrong with me?' Eden saw the dark look again and decided to try and help him.

"Yeah I am. We're family and he doesn't need to be treated like that. Enough about me," she said turning so she could face him. What's upsetting you?" Shino was surprised she had been able to see this. Only Kiba had been able to understand him.

"He was just one of my teammates, but before I knew it he became my best friend," he explained surprised at how easy the words came to him. "Over the past two years those feelings grew far beyond those of friendship."

"Aw, that's adorable," Eden gushed. "I don't see why that would upset you."

"Today I did something bad," he explained. "I was trained when I stumbled upon him and Akamaru playing together." 'Akamaru?' Eden thought with large eyes. "He looked so tempting that I couldn't resist and I ended up kissing him and iy got really intense." Eden looked at him with a bland look.

"That's it?" she asked. "I thought I was going to get some hot juicy details. What's the problem?' 'Wait', she thought. 'Why does Akamaru sound so familiar?'

"But it's Kiba," Shino replied. "He's not like that and he likes Hinata." 'Kiba? Oh my gods!' Eden jumped up with a startled cry. She had wide eyes and her mouth open in shock.

"You're talking about Kiba Inuzuka!"

"Yes, you know him?"

"Not personally, but Alex does," she said calmly before smacking the back of his head. "You idiot!"

"What?" he asked confused.

"That boy has been in love with you since you met," she explained softly. "He talks to Alex and Naruto all the time about his feelings for you." 'Feelings for me?' Shino's mind reeled as he took in her words. 'I messed up badly then.' "You'll need to find him and fix this, but I think you'll have to wait until tomorrow. It's going to storm tonight." Shino looked up at the black clouds that began crowding the sky.

"Yeah," he replied. They stood up ready to part ways when the smaller girl reached up, hugged him, and kissed his cheek.

"A kiss for luck," she winked. "Get home before the skies open up," she said running from the clearing.

"Yummy," Dani practically purred as she ate her chicken ramen. "Food in wonderful." Chouji laughed at the girl while Shikamaru's mouth twitched into a grin.

"I have to agree, food is wonderful," Chouji said eating his miso ramen. Shikamaru looked at his lover with a soft smile. It was nice to see Chouji completely relaxed around someone other than himself. He glanced at the girl as she chatted easily with the bigger boy.

"So is that Ino chick your girlfriend?" Dani teased.

"No," Chouji laughed. "She's not into guys." The brunette nodded her understanding.

"So who is your girlfriend?"

"No one," he answered shyly glancing at Shikamaru.

"Aw why not?" Dani asked genuinely surprised. The boy had a sweet personality that was to die for. "You're so adorable that I can't believe that." Chouji blushed and looked at his boyfriend for help. Shikamaru just gave him one of his bored smirks. He looked at the pair and a real smiled blossomed on his face. He knew he probably should be jealous, but somehow the two together made him feel content. Dani's sharp eyes caught the subtle glanced and couldn't contain a squeal. "So you have a boyfriend instead," she teased "You two are cute together." She stretched and looked up to see black clouds. "You might want to head home," she said staring at the clouds. "It's going to rain soon." She placed the money on the table, paying for all three meals. She stood up and kissed both their cheeks before leaving the ramen stand. "Don't do anything naughty," she laughed.

Genma cursed under his breath as the sky suddenly opened and rain came pouring down, soaking both him and his lover. They had gone to the Hokage's office to hand in mission reports, but she wasn't there. He shifted the senbon in his mouth and glanced sideways at the older man. Raidoh walked beside him with his mouth open, letting the rain pour down his face. Genma shook his head silently not understanding the older man's fascination with rain. He wrapped an arm around Raidoh's waist helping him to go in the right direction. Raidoh allowed himself to be pulled along until something caught his attention. He stopped and looked, open mouthed at the girl standing alone.

Genma felt his lover stop and glanced over to see what was detailing him. The senbon fell from his mouth as he stared at the long black haired girl clothed in a light blue flowing dress, completely dry. She spun around with her arms wide open. The water on the ground formed a whirlpool around her. He would've thought she was a goddess if he hadn't seen the cross shaped scar on her right cheek.

"Miss it's dangerous to be out in this weather," Raidoh finally said. This seemed to snap her out of her trance and the water fell in rivulets around her. Her hair and dress were completely soaked and stuck to her body. She turned and glanced at them, her blue eyes empty.

"The same to you," she replied. "It's going to get worse." A flash of lightening and a loud clap of thunder diverted their attention from the ethereal girl. When they turned back the girl was gone.

"Weird," they said in unison.

Alex had sat quietly while Tsunade conversed with the two older men. She had been an active participant in the conversation, earlier. Sensing their unease with her presence she withdrew from the talk and masked her chakra. Sometime during their discussion her eyes had closed and she dozed off. She bolted from the chair clutching her heart after the thunder sounded. The three occupants glanced at her in concern.

"Naruto," she whispered running from the den to the spare room, the others hot on her tail. She threw the door open and chocked back a gasp. There were three bodies on the floor. She went to Naruto first while the two teachers went to the Uchiha. Tsunade cautiously approached the third person unable to discern his identity. Alex gently shook Naruto awake, checking for any damage. "Naruto, are you ok?" The blond groaned and sat up slowly. He took a deep breath and realized something was wrong. He looked at Alex, panic in his eyes. "Naruto?"

"I feel weird," he admitted. "I feel sorta empty."

"Empty?" she didn't understand what he meant, but it worried her. "What do you mean?"

"I feels like something is missing," he whispered. 'Missing?'

"Alex come here," Tsunade ordered. She had no idea who this boy was. Alex walked over and glanced at the boy. He had medium length, uneven red hair. She was about to admit she didn't know him when she noticed his cheek. Peering closer she noticed three thick red whicker like markings on each cheek. Her mouth opened in shock and she looked back at Naruto.

"Oh shit," she whispered. Her voice caught the attention f the others and the newly awakened Sasuke. "Naruto can you feel Kyuubi in your mind?" The blond shook his head mutely. Alex reached over to push up his shirt. The seal was still there and unchanged. "I think this is Kyuubi.
