Sasuke laid next to his master thinking. He just couldn't find himself sleeping anytime soon. He looked over to his sleeping master.
Naruto had said happy birthday once more before falling asleep.
It made Sasuke happy, but he was confused.
First, what did his master mean when he said 'I love you'. And second, he wasn't sure if he should fear Kyuubi or not. His head started to hurt from all the thoughts racing through his mind.
Do I love master?
Sasuke frowned. Itachi had said 'I love you' many times before. Was it the same meaning? The thing that confused Sasuke the most, was that he felt different when they said it. When his master said it, he felt his heart throb in a way he's never felt before.
He gripped his chest when he felt the said throb go through him. He shifted on the bed trying to ease it. He wondered if it was just his master that made him feel like this. He started to wonder what it'd be like if he wasn't with his master. But he felt sadness when he thought of that. He's gotten so close to his master that he didn't want to be without him.
All of a sudden Sasuke felt a surge of pain rip through his chest. He quickly sat up and gripped his chest painfully. He couldn't get rid of the pain. He started to pant and sweat.
He looked over to his master and started shaking him to wake him up.
"Ngh..Sasuke..?" Naruto whispered.
When he saw Sasuke's expression he fully got up.
"Sasuke?! What's wrong?" Naruto reached for the lamp and turned it on.
Sasuke noticed that the pain was gone. He stared at Naruto dumbfoundedly. He had no idea what was happening with his body.
Naruto noticed that Sasuke was sweating, and his breathing was harder than normal.
"Sasuke, are you okay?"
Sasuke nodded and felt the familiar warmth in his chest start to grow.
Naruto got up and went to the bathroom. He returned with a hand towel and started to wipe Sasuke's face.
Sasuke let Naruto wipe his face, liking the attention he was getting.
"Sasuke, don't wake me up if you're fine." Naruto started.
Sasuke's ears fell when he heard that. He started to feel the pain to return.
"You need to wake me up earlier if you don't feel good." He continued and smiled.
Sasuke pouted and turned around so he didn't face his master.
"I'm just teasing you Sasuke." He messed Sasuke's hair.
Naruto noticed Sasuke wouldn't look back at him. He reached out and started to stroke Sasuke's tail.
Sasuke felt a shiver creep down his spine at that, but it felt so good. A soft unintended mewl escaped from his mouth, almost sounding like a moan.
Naruto stared wide-eyed at Sasuke.
When Sasuke realized the sound he made, he quickly covered his mouth and blushed furiously. He then grabbed hold of his tail with one hand, so his master couldn't touch it again.
"Sasuke." Naruto's voice went soft and low. "That was a really sexy sound you made just now."
Sasuke continued to blush and shook his head.
"No?"
Sasuke slumped his shoulders in defeat.
Naruto reached out for Sasuke.
"Come here you."
Naruto brought Sasuke down next to him.
"I'm right here, so go to sleep okay?" Naruto wrapped his arm around Sasuke.
Sasuke felt much better after his master said that. He held onto the arm that was wrapped around him and finally slept.
Naruto woke up to something heavy on top of him.
"Sasuke..?"
Naruto moved his hands around the figure on top of him. What woke him up was that he had accidentally grabbed Sasuke's bottom.
He quickly raised his hands away and laughed nervously inside his head. Did I just grope his ass?
Naruto noticed Sasuke was still asleep. He was sprawled all over the blonde, and his sweater had lifted up, exposing his back and everything below.
Naruto blushed at the sight.
"Shit." He mumbled.
He carefully pulled Sasuke's sweater down, so it would once again cover the kit's body. But it was already too late. Naruto was erect from just seeing and touching Sasuke.
He groaned to himself. I really have fallen for him, haven't I.
He gently rolled Sasuke off of him to go to the bathroom to relieve himself.
Naruto then wondered if Sasuke even had a sex drive. He wondered if Sasuke even touched himself there. He shook those thoughts off and went back to the room.
He saw Sasuke sitting, hugging his cat, and spacing out.
Naruto resisted the huge urge to run up and squeeze Sasuke for looking so cute. He was glad Sasuke liked the gift, and it suited him very well.
"It looks like you." Naruto pointed to the stuffed cat.
Sasuke looked at his cat and then up to his master. He was still sleepy, but he gave a small smile.
This time, Naruto didn't resist anything as he went up to Sasuke and hugged him tightly.
"Good morning Sasuke." Naruto said softly.
Sasuke lazily hugged him back. When Naruto let go, Sasuke wanted his master to carry him, so he continued to reach his hands up. But Naruto didn't see this, causing Sasuke to fall over the bed, bringing the blanket down with him.
"Ahhh! Sasuke!" Naruto went over to help the kit.
"Just how many times are you going to fall off of the be—" Naruto stopped at the sight of Sasuke.
His sweater had crept up to Sasuke's chest this time. Sasuke didn't care though. He pouted to his master.
Naruto sighed and quickly brought Sasuke's sweater down once again.
"I'm buying you briefs and there's no objecting on this one." Naruto declared.
Sasuke just stared at his master.
"Are you okay Sasuke?" He continued when he saw Sasuke nod. "No I mean, you're just spacing out."
Sasuke shrugged his shoulders, not really interested in what his master was saying. He looked and saw his master getting dressed. He sulked and climbed back up the bed. He wanted master to stay with him.
And as if Naruto read his mind,
"Oh, I'm not leaving today." He noticed Sasuke's sudden mood drop. "I thought it would be nice to stay with you, and it was your birthday yesterday."
Sasuke sat up and raised his arms.
"Don't be so lazy Sasuke. Come on, you can hold my hand." Naruto held out his hand.
Sasuke didn't look too happy, but he took the hand anyways.
Naruto lead Sasuke downstairs into the kitchen. They ate breakfast and Sasuke continued to space out. Naruto couldn't help but notice how strange the behavior was.
Naruto decided to call the clothing shop so they could custom make Sasuke some briefs. Even though Naruto couldn't handle seeing Sasuke naked anymore, he still wanted view of those pale thighs. Plus, Sasuke didn't seem to mind or care.
When Naruto was on his home phone, the doorbell rang. Naruto shooed Sasuke to the door so he could open it, not really thinking about who it could be.
Sasuke sluggishly went to the door, unlocking it. The door swiftly swung open, surprising Sasuke. Then, Kyuubi stepped in. Sasuke jumped, remembering the story his master told him yesterday.
"Oh?" Kyuubi drawled out.
The red head took a step inside, making Sasuke take a step back. He decided to test and see if the kit was actually afraid of him.
When he managed to back Sasuke into the wall, he smirked.
"Judging from your reaction, I'm guessing your kind master already told you about me." He tsked.
Kyuubi sniffed Sasuke's neck, sending chills down the kit's back.
"My senses aren't as good, but you have a different scent on you." He hummed. "I know exactly what it is, but I'm not telling you."
He paused and looked at Sasuke, who stiffened.
"Let me tell you this though, if it's not solved, you're going to be in a lot of pain~" He cooed out and snickering at the same time.
Sasuke stared at Kyuubi, not knowing what to do. Thankfully he heard his master's voice.
"Sasuke? Who was it?" Naruto came around to the front.
When Naruto saw Kyuubi, he started to glare.
"Why are you here early?" He said in a low tone. "And stay away from Sasuke you bastard."
"Hm~ I'm not doing anything." Kyuubi raised his hands to show innocence, giving a sly smile.
"Have you been drinking?"
"Perhaps. What does it matter to you though? I'm just a bastard anyways right?" He shrugged.
"You know I hate it when you drink."
Kyuubi glared at Naruto.
"What does it matter what I do! It's not like you give a shit anyways, you just hate the smell."
"You know that's not the reason." Naruto growled.
"Then what is it, oh merciful master."
"Stop that!" Naruto slapped Kyuubi roughly on the cheek.
Kyuubi gave a low growl, holding his cheek.
"This is why I tell you not to drink!" Naruto yelled. "You become even more of a bastard! And don't call me master. I am not your master."
Kyuubi pointed to the trembling kit on the ground.
"But he calls you master. You don't know it, but I do." He smirked.
"Sasuke is different."
"Yes, why of course, the poor kit who doesn't know anything. How do you know that this isn't an act? Maybe he's just planning to win you over, hm?" Kyuubi knew that this wasn't true, but he didn't care. Anything to piss Naruto off even more.
"Don't you dare say anything about Sasuke. I'm sick of you Kyuubi."
All of a sudden, Kyuubi's mood changed.
"I see..haha." Kyuubi started laughing to himself. "Hey master, how come you don't treat me like the princess over there." Once again, pointing at Sasuke.
"Don't call me that."
"Master."
"Stop that."
"Master."
"I said stop!" Naruto yelled.
Kyuubi sighed.
"Don't you have any pride Kyuubi. Just because you were born the way you were and the fact you're living with me, that doesn't make me your master." Naruto didn't know why he tried rationalizing with a drunk Kyuubi.
"Then what! Why am I here!" He yelled in frustration. "I'm just here because it was Kushina's wish!"
Naruto sighed. He looked at Sasuke and then back at Kyuubi.
"Just go to your room Kyuubi."
"What am I, a little kid?" He scoffed.
"You're acting like one. I've never seen you act like this before, is it because of Sasuke?"
Kyuubi didn't say anything. He simply stood his ground. Then he glared at Sasuke.
"Yes, it's all his fault. He just comes in and acts all familiar with everything! I hope he's a better fuckin replacement than a 'bastard' like me."
"A replacement?" Naruto couldn't believe what Kyuubi was saying. "I never thought of replacing you Kyuubi. It was even your idea for me to get one!"
"I know..I know! You think I don't know that? I just thought you'd treat him like all the other slaves. I just thought..you'd stop taking your anger out on me. But instead..he ended up dissipating it all away, and your anger still continues to me. Just what did I do."
Naruto didn't know if it was the alcohol still talking, or Kyuubi's real feelings. He decided it was the latter.
"Kyuubi, I'm sorr—"
"Yeah you're sorry now." He dangerously growled. "Sasuke! Come here!"
"Wha—"
"Shut up! Let me just show you how easily your pet listens to directions." He growled viciously. "Sasuke come!"
Sasuke was trembling in fear. He didn't want to move, but his body made him.
"Sasuke?" Naruto watched Sasuke shakily get up.
Sasuke stood in front of Kyuubi shaking.
"Bow down to me Sasuke."
"Kyuubi you bastard! Why are you being like this." Naruto ran over to Kyuubi and aimed his fist right to Kyuubi's face.
But it was too late.
Kyuubi had brought out his ears and his nine tails. His reflexes and senses were heightened tremendously when he brought them out. It was something Naruto hadn't seen in a long time.
Kyuubi had easily blocked Naruto's punch and gripped it painfully.
"Just watch Naruto. I will show you." Kyuubi growled. "And I already know you like..no love this kit. It's written all over you. I will show you just how easily he submits."
Sasuke's heart was ready to burst. He was never so scared in his life. He could feel a dark aura emitting from Kyuubi's presence alone.
Kyuubi let go of Naruto's hand.
"Sit Sasuke."
Sasuke quickly sat down in front of Kyuubi, scared for his life.
"Sasuke don't listen to this bastard!"
"No Sasuke! You will listen to me! Now bow down." He ordered.
Sasuke trembled before Kyuubi, slowly lowering himself. Everything from the past flashed in front of him. Fear was seen throughout his whole body.
"Sasuke.." Naruto said in defeat.
Sasuke was bowed down on the floor.
"Good boy. Now kiss my feet."
Sasuke lowered himself to do as he was told.
"See? He's just a slave. He will do what he's told. It's better off you not falling for such a worthless pet."
Naruto snapped at hearing Kyuubi saying that.
"KURAMAA!"
Catching Kyuubi off guard, Naruto launched himself at the red head. His first collided into Kyuubi's left cheek, sending him stumbling back a couple of feet.
"HE'S NOT WORTHLESS!" Naruto seethed out.
He punched the dazed Kyuubi again, actually surprised that he successfully landed them.
That was, until he noticed that Kyuubi started to groan. Kyuubi started to grip himself feeling excruciating pain all over his body.
"W-what's happening.." A weak voice came out from Kyuubi.
Then Naruto started to feel pain on his stomach.
"What the fuck..?"
Naruto screamed out in pain and fell on his knees. He held onto his stomach. It felt as if it was burning.
Sasuke sat there utterly confused and scared. He was too frightened to move from his spot, leaving him to just watch what was happening.
Kyuubi's eyes rolled back as he fainted to the ground. Then his limbs started to shrink, and fur started to grow. And then soon, Kyuubi was reduced into an actual nine tailed fox. A very small one.
The burning pain was gone from Naruto's stomach. He lifted his shirt to see markings there. He was sweating from all the pain he received. It took him a moment to grasp on what just happened. He then saw a fox in replacement of Kyuubi.
"Kyuubi..?" Naruto called out.
He looked over to Sasuke, who flinched.
Naruto carefully went over to Kyuubi and picked him up. He could hear the heartbeat of the small fox and sighed in relief. He thought he somehow lost Kyuubi.
Naruto then handed the unconscious fox to Sasuke.
"I'm sorry Sasuke, but can you please just hold him for a little bit. He's asleep, so he won't hurt you." He breathed out, still not grasping on what the hell just happened.
Sasuke hesitated before taking Kyuubi in his arms. He felt how incredibly soft the fur was, and he was in awe at the nine tails Kyuubi possessed.
Naruto left Sasuke with Kyuubi on the floor and staggered to the nearest bathroom.
Inside, he took off his shirt to reveal the strange markings on his stomach.
Just what the fuck is this?
