Sasuke sat on his bed, enveloped in the natural dimness of his room. He flopped over onto his side, his thoughts consumed with Kakashi.
"Kakashi..." He said the Inugamis name out loud, his chest tightened with pain when he did.
He curled up on his side, burying his head into his Futon, trying to pass through the pain and the on coming numbness. He clutched at his chest, wanting the pain to disappear. His whole body burned and went cold for the demon, making it all that much more harder to forget. He remembered his face when he asked him if there was anything to keep him there. He remembered how cold his eyes seemed...And yet they were so warm and understanding. He knew that there was more to Kakashi's feelings. But when you hear from someone you've loved for a long time, that you basically don't matter to them...It was hard and devastating.
Sasuke sat up slowly, his eyes full of sadness and regret, the life and enjoyment slowly fading from them. If Kakashi was going to deny his feelings...and pretend that there was nothing there...Then he was going to do the same. He took a deep breath, collecting all of his feelings for Kakashi and locked them away, deep inside himself.
"Two can play at the heartless game..." He said silently, getting up to roam the estate. His eyes already started to look more cold and distant, His whole demeanor became more hostile and mean. He was pretty sure that if he couldn't love Kakashi, then he wouldn't love anyone ever again.
Once he was outside he stretched his wings, feeling the air between each feather. He then lifted himself into the air with great speed, flying high into the clouds. He chased after the rays of sunlight hidden between each cloud, gaining even more speed with each thrust of his wings. His favorite thing that he prided himself on was his speed of flight. At one point when he tried to go the fastest he could he swore he felt the electricity in the clouds, feeling it surround him and excel his flight. But ever since that one moment he hasn't quite gotten to that point, but that never stopped him from trying.
He tucked his wings in tight suddenly, dropping fast. He was aiming for one of the many lakes on the mountain, determined to test his limits. He dropped as far as he dared before suddenly opening his wings, the air catching them. He blasted the water beneath him before continuing straight ahead, staying close to the water's surface. He reached down, lightly splitting the water with his fingers. He could tell that it was getting closer to night time by the temperature of the water. It was getting colder faster. He stopped flying for a moment and just hovered in the air for a moment. He saw that the sun was setting behind the mountain. Deciding that it would probably be best if he wasn't out much longer he started to head back home. Not even he could fly in the dark..And knowing most of the demons around the mountain, they would take advantage of that.
After looking around for a moment he bounded up into the clouds again, hearing the water burst under his wings. He was sure to visit this lake again...something about it was calming and welcoming...But what Sasuke didn't know about his little trip to the lake was that he caught the attention of the water god that was living there.
Once he was back at the estate he walked back to his room. He sighed before stretching once again. He moved around his Futon to his wardrobe ,picking out his thin yokatta that was meant for the open air bath that they had. He then headed for the open air bath, wanting to feel the calming water around him...hopefully it would sooth away most of what happened that day.
Kakashi walked around the estate entrance, hesitant to head any further inside for fear of Sasuke sensing his presence. He didn't want another confrontation with the Uchiha...he knew that he wouldn't be able to help himself if the young Tengu tried anything. He sighed heavily, placing his back onto the pillar at the front gate. He looked up into the sky, watching the clouds start to change to a warmer glow, indicating that it was almost sundown.
He heard the sliding doors slam, do to his incredible hearing. He turned to see Sasuke walking to the middle of the dirt path, stopping only momentarily before blasting up into the sky, taking off somewhere. Kakashi noticed in that brief moment that Sasuke wasn't the same...His face was the happy and warmer face that he knew. He figured that Sasuke was probably still upset with him and that he was just going off to let off some of his anger. The image of him gracefully, yet powerfully bounding into the sky was something he always liked to burn into his mind. Sasuke certainly had gotten very attractive...that was to be expected in the Uchiha line, but Sasuke always carried a certain mystery about him, and it was very attractive to Kakashi..In more ways than one. But then he remembered the look on and demeanor that Sasuke left with.
He felt a slight pain in his chest when he realized that Sasuke was hurting because of him...but what was he supposed to do? It was way too risky to take Sasuke as his mate...he vowed that he would never put Sasuke in danger, and mating him would put him in untold amounts of danger. Kakashi straightened up, deciding that it would be better to do one more round of patrolling before retiring for the evening. Sighing again, he started to head on his rounds again.
_ Out Door Bath/ Uchiha estate _
Naruto blushed as he entered the herbal bath that Itachi had drawn for the both of them. He could feel it working instantly, but what made him blush was that he could feel Itachi's seed slipping out of him and into the water.
"Are you all right?" Itachi asked, knowing exactly what was happening to Naruto, the fact bringing a grin to his face.
Naruto nodded, afraid that if he spoke a gasp would escape. He tried to calm himself, by letting the warmth loosen his muscles and relieve some of the pain. He heard the sound of moving water and knew that Itachi was moving. Itachi's arms snaked their way around Naruto's waist, tightening slightly as he shifted so that Naruto's back rested on his chest.
"You always feel so good..." Itachi remarked, kissing Naruto's neck while he talked deeply in Naruto's ear, arousing the fox even further. He sat on some of the natural rocks that where a part of the open air bath, bringing the fox with him, letting him sit in his lap with his arms still around his waist.
"I-Itachi..." Naruto slightly gasped out his name. He could feel the Tengu's member becoming erect, resting up against Naruto's backside. Naruto turned his head to look at him, smirking slightly while he slid back slightly, grinding his soft bottom near Itachi's member, driving the Tengu mad.
"Naruto." Itachi growled, biting and nipping at Naruto's neck, the excitement growing between the two. Itachi flipped Naruto around, making sure that the fox was supporting himself on the rocks. He then slid his member near Naruto's entrance, stopping so that he could hear Naruto beg for him.
"Itachi..." He heard him whine almost, the struggle to hang on to his sanity evident in his voice. "Please." He asked, looking back at Itachi, fire burning in his eyes. Itachi then could feel through their bond that Naruto wanted him...No Needed him to be inside him. He wouldn't deny his mate any longer so he thrust deep into him, loving how the fox cried out in complete bliss. He waited for Naruto to stop tightening on him, and let him adjust before making love to him once more.
"I-Itachi! Oh my god!" Naruto cried out, arching his back as Itachi again was hitting his most sensitive spots. "No! I'M going to come!Please Itachi!" Naruto screamed out the Tengu's name, and pleaded with him. Itachi knew that Naruto wanted them to both cum together, so he slowed, but still thrust with power, bringing himself closer to the bliss they both craved. He could feel Naruto meet his thrusts, and with the same amount of urgency as Itachi.
He grabbed Naruto suddenly, making Naruto stand while he slid his hands up his stomach and chest, feeling the muscle there and the having chest.
"ITACHI!" Naruto yelled as he came, twitching in Itachi's arms slightly as his orgasm was intense. The blond then fell back into Itachi's arms, noticing that Itachi hadn't climaxed quite yet. He got up and turned to face Itachi the best he could, and pointed to the rocks.
"Sit..." He panted out, regaining some of his self awareness back. Having sex with Itachi always screwed with his mind, and he still wasn't used to the overwhelming sensation.
Itachi cocked his eyebrow in surprise, following his lover's order, he sat atop the rock, his lower body now level with Naruto. He watched as Naruto licked his lips while coming closer to him...And then he understood. Naruto gently took Itachi's member into his hand, pumping it slightly. He heard Itachi gasp and moan slightly above him, giving him some encouragement to continue. He licked at the tip first, tasting the precum that was there...tasting his mate. Then he took him into his mouth further, sucking and licking as he moved his mouth up and down, adjusting slightly so that he could take Itachi further into his mouth.
"N-Naruto." He heard his mate. He looked up to see Itachi panting, and running his long fingers through his own hair, his face was furrowed into bliss, his mouth slightly open. His mate was truly something to look at, and Naruto would always look at Itachi.
Itachi looked down at Naruto, smiling gratefully. He moved his hand down to caress Naruto's cheek and moved it into his hair, tugging slightly while he massaged his scalp slightly. Naruto moaned in appreciation, bringing a whole new sensation for Itachi. He gasped, and tugged a little roughly on Naruto's hair. He looked down, to make sure that he hadn't hurt the blond, but Naruto carried on like nothing had happened. He could feel the familiar sensation of his climax.
"Naruto...I'm so close." Itachi moaned, letting his head fall back, his arms behind him for support. Naruto gave everything he had into making his mate come, sucking pumping, and licking.
"AH!" Itachi came, not expecting so much pleasure to come all at once. He let the orgasm spasm through his body, feeling himself still in Naruto's mouth. He looked down at his mate, smiling when he saw him swallow everything that he had to offer.
"Mmm Naruto..." He purred, tilting Naruto's chin up, leading him up into a kiss.
"W-Wait." Naruto warned, knowing that he would taste himself if they kissed. But Itachi didn't care, he wanted to kiss Naruto, he knew that Naruto needed the reassurance after what they just did...and he needed it too. He kissed him hard, letting the fox know that he didn't care that he could taste himself. That fact didn't matter. Naruto moaned into the kiss, finding that fact very hot.
Itachi broke the kiss, moving to Naruto's forehead to kiss it gently before looking down into his eyes.
"Thank you love." He said, making Naruto blush madly, realizing what they had just done...In an open air bath no less.
Itachi started to rise from the water, making Naruto gulp slightly as he stared at his mate. Itachi noticed and smiled, looking back at his mate with a sight smirk.
"You coming?" Itachi asked, indicating that he was finished with his bath.
"You go ahead...I'd like to soak a little more." Naruto blushed, looking a way slightly before returning his gaze back to Itachi.
"All right." Itachi nodded, smiling warmly before he exited the bath.
Once Itachi was gone Naruto let out a sigh of relief. He loved what him and Itachi had become, but man was the Tengue very embarrassing! Well Itachi wasn't the only one at fault...Naruto thought back to all the naughty things and seductive behavior he had when he and Itachi had mated.
"Oh man..." He sighed, blushing mad with embarrassment. He laid his top half on the rock that he was leaning against, leaving his lower half in the water. His wet fox ears flicked when water threatened to drip inside them.
"Now that was something I never thought I would hear..." A voice sounded from behind Naruto, near the entrance door to the open bath.
Naruto swirled around, eyes wide with embarrassment and fear...Sasuke was standing at the entrance. He clearly heard what him and Itachi had been doing.
"Sasuke!" Naruto gasped slightly. "I-I can explain.." Naruto tried to collect his thoughts and feelings. He needed to explain things to Sasuke so that he would understand why and how he was mated to his brother.
"What? The fact that you and my brother were doing erotic things with each other?" Sasuke folded his arms over his chest. He looked at Naruto's stomach, noticing the very noticeable mark left there. "And not only that but you mated with him?!" He added on. Naruto looked down, saddened by the aggressiveness that was in Sasuke's voice.
"I don't care about that...I already knew." Sasuke added on, his voice much kinder and sounded more in a teasing way. He was just playing with Naruto, wanting to make him believe that he wasn't going to accept that they where now together.
Naruto looked up, shocked and blushed before he splashed the Uchiha, sputtering useless threats. "TEME! You scared me! I thought you were going to hate me..." He added on, ceasing his splashing attacks on Sasuke.
"I would never hate you or my brother..." Sasuke turned more serious, walking into the water after disrobing. "I've known for a long time that Itachi was in love with you...I'm shocked that he actually admitted it to you..." He said, looking at Naruto with a smirk.
"Well...I actually admitted my feelings first...today actually." Naruto blushed, avoiding eye contact with Sasuke. The said Uchiha blinked a couple times before laughing out loud. "You couldn't have made the first move! There's no way!" He teased further.
"I didn't really have a choice!...And it's not THAT hard to believe..." He added on, pouting.
"With you it is...but if I hadn't heard what I did, then I would be having a harder time believing you." He smirked more when he saw that Naruto's face almost turned scarlet. "He must have been really good if he made you moan and call out like that." He added on.
"W-Was there anyone else around? Please tell me that you were the only one that heard us..." Naruto pleaded, incapable of handling the situation if someone else also heard him and Itachi.
" As far as I could tell I was the only one around at the moment." Sasuke said.
"...So how have you been Sasuke?" Naruto asked after a moment of silence. "I haven't seen you since I left...and barley before that as well." Sasuke looked down into the water for a moment before looking at Naruto. He knew that he could always talk with the blond, but the situation with him and Kakashi was a little more difficult. He knew that if he told him what happened, then he would probably try to intervene and even kill Kakashi.
"I'm doing all right...nothing has really changed since you left." He said smiling slightly before grunting his annoyed little grunt he usually gave.
Naruto looked at him...Really looked at him. He knew that there was something terribly wrong with Sasuke...and it probably...no it definitely had something to do with Kakashi.
"What did Kakashi do?" Naruto asked, an annoyed face appearing while he folded his arms. He looked like he was almost scolding a child. Sasuke blinked, shocked that Naruto read him so well...Then again Naruto was the only one that knew him so well besides Itachi.
"..He just made it perfectly clear that he didn't want anything to do with me..." Sasuke admitted.
"What?" Naruto scoffed, knowing that, that was SO not the case. "That can't be possible he com-"
"Please Naruto." Sasuke interrupted. "I know that you mean well and want me to be happy...But please just drop this..I can only handle so much when it comes to Kakashi...If I get my hopes up with your promises and reassurance on Kakashi...I don't know if I will be able to get completely back up from it when he rejects me again...Please." He let the words sink into Naruto. "Please don't interfere..." He pleaded, showing his rare vulnerable side to Naruto.
Naruto sat there in the water, speechless. Sasuke was actually pleading with him and showing his true feelings on the matter...He must be quite serious. Naruto smiled gently, knowing how hard it was to deal with loving someone.
"Alright Sasuke." He said still smiling his warm smile. " I will respect your wishes." He added, getting up out of the water. " But please...If you ever need me or just need to talk again, don't hesitate to come to me." He said, leaving the open air bath, and Sasuke. He knew that now Sasuke probably needed to be alone and just relax. So he headed to his room after dressing in the bath robe again.
_ Naruto's bedroom_
Naruto thought of Sasuke while he walked to his room, wondering what Kakashi could have done to make Sasuke look so hurt. But as to respect Sasuke's wishes he decided not to think too much on it...that is for now. But he opened his door and headed inside to think of other things, like the stinging pain he was feeling in his chest.
Naruto stood in front of his wardrobe, thinking of Itachi. He smiled when he thought of what they were to each other now. The fact that he was now Itachi's and Itachi was now his brought him so much joy. He picked out one of his yokatta and dressed himself, eagerly wanting to be back at Itachi's side. He had noticed, in the short time that they had been mates how much he needed Itachi...How much he missed him when ever they weren't together. These feelings brought up some hidden feelings that he thought that he never would think about.
What did his mother go through?..She was mated with his father, and if she felt the pain and loneliness that Naruto felt now, with just barely being away from Itachi...Then what had she felt all those years that his father wasn't around. He couldn't imagine the pain or the intense loneliness. He remembered some of the times he'd see his mother crying when she thought he wasn't looking...now he understood why. He felt sad for his mother, but she wasn't always unhappy, and that's what made him able to forgive his father for leaving them alone all those years.
"Naruto?" Itachi's voice sounded from the other side of the door. Naruto opened it, smiling as he looked up at Itachi. "Is everything okay...I could sense some of your sadness." He said, concern shown in his eyes.
"I'm fine...I was just remembering my mother for a moment. She was mated to my father, but he wasn't there with us when she had me...I was thinking of how she felt when he wasn't there, and if it was similar to what I feel with you..." He remarked, wrapping his arms around Itachi, hugging him tightly. "But I know that she wasn't always sad." He said, smiling up at Itachi.
"When I had the pleasure of meeting your mother a couple times, she was overjoyed to have you in her life...She was indeed a very happy woman." Itachi assured Naruto, returning the smile he received.
"Thanks Itachi." Naruto hugged him close for a brief moment before letting go. "...By the way...I think you might want to know something about what we did earlier..." Naruto said, remembering Sasuke.
"Oh?" Itachi raised an eyebrow, keeping Naruto at arms length while he talked, stroking his arms lightly.
"Well..you know how I was worried that someone might have heard us while we were in the bath?" he asked, watching as Itachi's face stiffened slightly, curiousness shining in his eyes.
"Yes." He said after a pause, feeling that something was up.
"Well..someone did end up hearing us and they met me in the bath..." Itachi's face scrunched in confusion and worry. He was worried that there was someone else...naked in the bath with Naruto. "Who was it? Did they try anything?" Itachi asked, protectiveness sounded in his voice.
"No! no no no, they would never! It was Sasuke, he was the one that heard us and now knows that we are mated...I talked with him about it and he basically gave us his blessing." Naruto said in a panic, knowing that Itachi was going to kill whoever it was that was with him in the bath. But since it was his brother, hopefully he would be more forgiving.
"Sasuke?" Itachi softened, letting a smirk show on his face. "Of course he knew, He told me long before that if I did decide to make you mine that he would support it." Itachi said, feeling better about the situation.
"I figured." Naruto pouted before walking over to his door. "Shall we?" He indicated, wanting to now go break the news to Fugaku. Itachi nodded, taking Naruto's hand while leading him down the hall.
They arrived at the big main doors to where Fugaku would most likely be. But Naruto and even Itachi hesitated for a second before knocking on the door, waiting to hear Fugaku's voice.
"You may enter."
Naruto exhaled, preparing for the worst while he went in with Itachi.
Fugaku looked up, watching as Naruto and Itachi entered the room. His eyebrow cocked when he noticed that they both where holding hands even up to when they sat down in front of him. He put down what he was doing to give them his full attention.
"Father." Itachi greeted him first, bowing his head slightly. Naruto followed suit, still a little shocked with what they where about to do. "I need to tell you something." Itachi said, sitting up tall and proud.
Fugaku looked at the both of them and smiled slightly, which threw Itachi completely off.
"No need to explain...I can clearly tell without you having to say anything." Fugaku said, still smiling slightly.
"Father?" Itachi was now confused. In all of his years so far he recalled only seeing his father smile like that only three times. Once when Naruto was here and the other when Sasuke was born, and now. Truthfully it was a little off putting.
"I can't tell that you are mated...and I couldn't be any happier with your choice of mate. I am very proud of both you and Naruto and I wouldn't pair you two with anyone else...why do you think I haven't sent you out to find a mate Naruto? and You Itachi to spawn an offspring from you?" He explained and asked the two. He almost laughed out loud when he saw how shocked and confused the both of them looked. When the both of them didn't say anything Fugaku waited, wanting Itachi and Naruto to understand what he had to say next.
"Well that was easier than I expected." Naruto finally said, looking at Itachi and smiling, completely at ease now with this whole situation. Itachi nodded, still a little thrown off by Fugaku's weird behavior but turned and looked his father in the face.
"I expect you two to live better lives from now on...your lives are now no longer your own." Fugaku warned, knowing all too well the pain that mates could have. After all he did watch Naruto's mother suffer greatly.
"We appreciate your understanding father..and we will try our best." Itachi said, bowing once more. Fugaku nodded, waving his hand in a dismissive way, letting Itachi and Naruto know that they were free to leave when they wanted.
"How Is Sasori-San and Gaara?" Naruto asked, before getting up. He was worried about them, and was wondering how Fugaku was going to react to the both of them being alive.
Fugaku looked at Naruto, he knew that Naruto would ask about the Fire gods. It was in his kind nature to be worried about the demons that he had protected.
"They are fine Naruto. Gaara is in Madara's great care, and Sasori is resting and would love to see Gaara when he wakes. But he has suffered quite a lot..." Fugaku lead on, not wanting to quite tell the extent of his injuries to Naruto. He didn't want Naruto to feel responsible. "I'm sure he would also like to see you both as well." He reassured them both. Naruto nodded before walking with Itachi to the exit. He turned around and bowed to Fugaku with a smile.
"Thank you Fugaku." He thanked him before leaving with Naruto. When they were both gone Fugaku sat back, thinking of how their lives and his life was now going to change. He laughed a little when he recalled Itachi's shocked face. Oh how it was amusing. But after thinking for a moment he returned to his work.
Naruto and Itachi returned to Itachi's chambers, lying on the bed. Naruto laid in Itachi's embrace, facing him. He was smiling slightly as he played with some of his hair.
"Be careful...You might go bald if you keep playing with your hair." Itachi teased, smirking when the fox stopped to glare at him.
"...Wana say that again?" Naruto threatened, running his leg up in between Itachi's legs, rubbing near his sensitive area. Itachi cocked an eyebrow before flipping Naruto over, pinning him to the bed. He stared into his eyes, marveling at how blue and clear they were. He leaned down carefully and agonizingly slow. He let his lips gently touch Naruto's while he kept him pinned. He was going to control this situation. He could feel Naruto wanting to use his arms and deepen the kiss but Itachi wasn't going to let him.
"Itachi..." Naruto growled slightly, getting angry because he wasn't letting him do anything.
"You need to rest Naruto...your body can't handle another round after mating for the first time today love." He tried to calm Naruto down. He didn't want to cause any more harm to Naruto's body more than he already has. Naruto stopped struggling to look at Itachi. He pouted but nodded in agreement. He let his body start to relax and Itachi spooned behind him, holding him close to his chest. He could feel the warmth instantly and it brought more peace.
"Good night Naruto..." Itachi said in his deep voice that he knew Naruto loved. He smirked when Naruto whined slightly before responding.
"Good night." Naruto responding before entering a dreamless sleep. What he didn't know was that, that night he was going to have a life changing vision yet again...and this time, Sasuke was involved greatly.
