Hello everyone,

I have a lot of new projects but I am still working on all my old stories and posting the old stories before the new ones. I am trying to save a lot of chapters before school starts again for me because I won't be able to do any writing like I want to. I am also going to try to post every day of the year. I don't think it will happen but it's worth a try. I got all the chapters for this month ready but let's see if I can get the rest done.

Just to give everyone a heads up this chapter is in both POV's for Sasuke and Naruto.

Enjoy the chapter.

It wasn't a warm welcome like I thought it would be.

"Who are you?" A guard at the gates of the Cloud asked.

"We are the Royal guards of Sasuke Uchiha, Prince of Konoha; we have a meeting with the king of the Cloud kingdom." Shikamaru said diplomatically.

I noticed despite everything everyone was extremely tense.

"Has something happened? I don't remember there being guards this heavily at the gates the last time I was here." Kakashi said to the guard.

"We will inform the king that you're here." The guard said not letting us in the gates.

They ignored the questions but I am assuming something the same thing especially if Kakashi was willing to voice it out loud shows how much of a big deal it is. We waited a few minutes before a high looking official came to the gates.

"Hello young men and welcome back Kakashi." The woman said letting us in the gates with a smile.

"It's nice to see you again, Samui. What is going on?" Kakashi asked.

"There have been a few problems since we reached out to Konoha. We didn't want a fake to impersonate and assassinate our king. So we have been taking extra precautions. You understand?" Samui asked looking directly at Kakashi.

"Yes," was all Kakashi said.

"Then just follow me, you may leave your horses at the front stables." Samui said making us all get off the horses.

"C, you may have to tame your horse." Kiba said.

"If a horse is untrained we have open fields for it to stay so no one gets kicked." Samui suggested.

"That would be best." Shikamaru said.

"Fine," C said letting the horse go with someone so it could go to the open field.

I couldn't really help myself but to look around. I never been to the Cloud and it is more different and lively than I thought it would be. But in the underneath if you pay attention close enough or have experience than you would know all the guards are tense. The officials are tense, even the workers in the Royal castle are tense. The whole walk we were being watched. I also felt eyes linger on me more than necessary. I even felt a presence I knew very well but I couldn't tell where it was coming from.

"I sense a fox near." C said walking closer to me.

"I will be fine," I said.

"What made you say that?" C asked.

"Well considering the fact you are sending me some nervous vibes is the reason." I said getting even more nervous about the deal I will be making.

"That's not me sending them to you." C said.

That made me look around. I knew what I saw when I turned around but it was gone in a flash.

"Did you see that?" I asked stopping to look down the hall.

"See what?" C asked stopping next to me.

"It was a..." I was saying until I got interrupted.

"Keep up, we can't have you getting lost sire." Samui said.

"Yes," I said and followed after her.

I kept walking despite myself but not before sending C after the scent.

(Naruto's POV)

Holy shit. I almost got seen. Damn it, what the hell is he doing with another fox?

"Naruto, you have to calm down. You're growling, your teeth are growing, and your eyes are going red." Chibi said trying to calm me.

"I didn't think he would be here with another fox." I said growling.

A big part of me wanted to attack that fox but I knew I couldn't. I smelled something familiar on him.

"They smelled like they were by your dad." Chibi said basically reading my mind.

"Yeah that fox too." I said.

"Would if that's the brother? The one your dad talked about." Chibi asked as we walked down the hallway in the opposite direction of Sasuke.

"Why don't we just go talk to him?" Chibi asked.

"No, we will not even let him see us. We will watch him from afar." I said then I tensed someone was near.

Whoever it was was coming toward me fast making me jump out the way. The moment I turned around I saw the fox that was with Sasuke earlier. Seeing him right away just made me growl at him.

"Who are you?" The other fox said.

"None of your business, I don't have to explain myself to a brat." I said.

"If you're after Prince Sasuke, you do." The fox said.

"Don't start with me kid." I growled out.

The fox seemed very aware that he might not win the fight against me but was still prepared.

"Don't fight him," Chibi whispered to me as she stayed on my shoulders nipping at my shoulder.

"We're not after the Prince." Chibi said for me because I obviously didn't want to talk to the fox.

How could Sasuke get another fox while he was away? Here I am training to control my powers and here he is back at the castle talking to other foxes.

"Then why were you lurking in the shadows?" The other fox asked.

"Fuck this," I said charging at him then knocked him all the way down the hallway and took off.

"Why would you do that?" Chibi asked concerned turning to see if he was okay.

"I didn't want to have to explain why we were there." I said and ran toward where I was staying in the village.

(Back by Sasuke)

"So your brother wants to make an alliance with us?" The king asked.

"Yes, he sent me to show good faith that it was real." I said.

"Is it really good faith? I heard you can't even die." The king said.

'Damn it,' I thought.

"He can die," Kakashi started to explain. "It's just harder to kill him." Kakashi finalized.

There was a light knock on the door before it opened to reveal C looking out of breath.

"What happened?" I asked walking up to him immediately.

"I got into a squabble with the person that was watching you back in the hallway." C said.

"Who have you assigned to watch me since I been here?" I asked knowing it was coming off as an accusation.

"No one, if someone is watching you is because they are paranoid about you, not me." The king said without hesitation.

"Damn it," I whispered.

"He was not normal Sasuke." C said.

"Do you know what he was?" I asked.

"I can assure you that you will not be bothered by any of my men while you're here. Now I am sure you will like to rest so Samui will show you to your rooms." The king said having Samui lead us out the office.

"So what was he?" I asked.

"I think he was a fox. But his scent was weird. I think he changed his scent." C said making me curious even more.

"What did he look like?" I asked.

"I don't know exactly because he was masking the way he looks with an illusion spell. But he did keep talking to something that looked like a rabbit." C said.

That had to be Naruto and Chibi. There is no other person that could do that to a trained guard that is a fox also.

"Okay," I said and we all left the room.

"I can follow his scent if you need me too." C said.

"Yeah," I said and he was off.

I could see his ears perk up from excitement.

"Where is that one going?" Samui asked.

"He went to find the guy that was watching and following me." I answered.

"There was this guy that just moved here a year ago. He doesn't stay here permanently but he does have a house here. He works with Sir Bee when he can." Samui said.

"Are you trying to tell me a new guy is suspicious of me?" I asked.

"He is probably just curious to where you come from." Samui said.

"Then why attack one of my subordinates?" I asked.

"He was probably just defending himself. The only time he ever fights is if he is being attacked or the young one with him is being attacked." Samui said.

"Young one?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah his daughter." Samui said gently. "A cute little girl. I was shocked when he first said it was his daughter because he is just so young. But it was obvious that they were family." Samui said.

Naruto couldn't have a daughter but that could be Chibi. Let's not get my hopes up. Would if it is some other type of fox? Just leave it for now. I was so distracted that I didn't even realize when they dropped me off in front of my room.

What am I going to do if it is them? I haven't seen Naruto in years how am I supposed to act in front of him. Who cares about all that as long as I see him again? I still have a lot of pent up anger from him leaving me after promising he wouldn't. I also need to tell him that creatures are looking for him. Why were those wolves looking for him? Were they from the Forbidden Forest?

"Sasuke? Are you okay?" Kakashi asked snapping me out of my trance.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I said waving my hand away from him.

"You were distracted enough for me to come in here undetected and try to assassinate you so no it wasn't fine." Kakashi said sitting on my bed.

"I need to know if that was Naruto." I expressed.

"Then why don't we go find out." Kakashi said.

"But what about the mission?" I asked.

"This may be the only time you get out of the palace and this is the first time you hear he is near let's take the chance while we still can." Kakashi said.

"Thank you Kakashi." I said and ran out the door right into C. "Did you find out anything?" I asked immediately.

"I lost him because he could smell me following him." C said.

"Damn it," I said completely pissed off slamming my hand into the wall.

The only people that Naruto hasn't seen with me before are Kiba and Shikamaru but he probably smelled them when he came in unless he was too focused on the scent of another fox. But it still doesn't change the fact that they don't know what he looks like.

"I have an idea." Kakashi said.

I looked at him with a curious expression raising one eyebrow basically asking him what is it.

"Well he is an older male fox maybe he will be at a pub. Let's go get some drinks and not only that he probably doesn't think you will go into one to find him." Kakashi said.

"Okay let's get going." I said walking out my room with C and Kakashi following behind me.

Kakashi definitely just did this for his own benefit but I don't care because it may be true so I can take it or leave it.

"Shikamaru, Kiba let's get going." I said.

"Where are we going?" Kiba questioned.

"To a pub," Kakashi said chipperly.

"Really?" Kiba asked sounding just as excited.

"I am with you wherever we go but I don't have to drink do I?" Shikamaru asked.

"No, you don't if you don't want too. But you have to take care of that fool if he gets out of hand." I said.

"Isn't that a bitch." Shikamaru grumbled.

I completely get how he feels but I won't be dealing with Kakashi and Kiba if they both get drunk no way in hell.

"This is going to be a drag." Shikamaru grumbled.

"Oh, come on Shika, when do we ever get a break? We get to have a little bit of fun on a mission." Kiba said putting his arm around Shikamaru's shoulder.

Shikamaru just knocked it off himself and pushed Kiba away from him.

"Says you the one who is going to get drunk. I don't want to have to deal with you I'd rather be sleeping. The last time you drank you tried to throw me in a well along with Choji." Shikamaru said bitterly.

"I never heard that story before." I said taking a glance at the two of them.

I was one of them despite me actually being a prince I was a royal guard and the army general. I became friends with the guards after proving myself and gaining the respect I deserve and none of it was from me being a Royal.

"He was drunk off his ass and tried to throw me and Choji down a well thankfully he started with Choji or we would have had to pull me out of the well." Shikamaru said wincing at the memory.

"Come on I wasn't that bad." Kiba said.

"If Shikamaru says you were that bad then you definitely were." I said.

"You don't act like a Royal." C said breaking our conversation.

"It's because he's not he is a Royal guard and general of the Royal army." Kiba declared proudly for me making me shake my head.

He was right though and I was proud of my position even if I am a prince.

"How did you get into that position?" C asked curiously.

"Hard work and determination." I said.

The conversation was over after that because no one wanted to get on my bad side but I could tell what C was thinking just from the look he gave me.

"LET'S GET MESSED UP!" Kiba shouted and ran ahead with Kakashi.

Shikamaru and I just shook our heads and followed behind them with C trailing behind us.

"I will be right back Sasuke." C whispered before walking away.

"Let's all drink some shots." Kiba said.

"No, I will take a beer." I said as I came up to the counter making myself comfortable with Shikamaru sitting next to me.

"Do you think he is here?" Shikamaru asked.

"Yes," I said.

"Can you tell me what he looks like?" Shikamaru asked.

"Blonde hair and blue eyes... tan skin. Way taller than us. Well the last time I seen him he was at least two feet taller than me but I was sixteen at the time that was." I answered.

"Does he have any distinct marks?" Shikamaru asked.

"Yeah, he has whiskers on his cheeks." I answered and took a small drink of my beer.

"YES!" Kiba shouted excitedly as he made it into the hole as they played pool.

"Those two are excited." Shikamaru said staring at the two.

"For real," I said looking at them too.

"What are you going to do if you see him again?" Shikamaru asked.

"I don't know yet. I haven't decided whether I want to whoop his ass or tell him someone is searching for him because they want to kill him." I said.

"Seems troublesome," Shikamaru said while putting his head down on the counter.

"It definitely is, but it's worth it if he comes back to me." I said feeling a smile come on my face.

(Naruto P.O.V.)

"God damn it," I growled.

"It seems like you have been running on luck until now. Why do you insist on running from your mate?" Chibi asked.

"Because murder follows me. Did that fox smell familiar to you?" I asked looking at the smaller fox on his shoulders inside his cloak.

"Yeah he smelled like your dad and the Royal family. He could be your brother." Chibi asked.

"As far as I'm concerned that has nothing to do with me." I said turning my head as Sasuke glanced over the crowd.

"As long as he doesn't touch Sasuke." Chibi said.

"Whatever no one asked for your opinion Chibi." I said and decided it was best to get going.

As I walked toward the exit one of the men that were with Sasuke the one that looked like he had a pineapple on his head drew his sword in front of the door.

"Naruto, where are you going?" Sasuke asked.

I heard my growl and my eyes shot up knowing they were red the pineapple guy backed up but didn't lower his guard.

"Stand down Naruto," Sasuke said.

"He's not standing down Captain." The pineapple said sounding freaked out.

I heard another guy behind me pull for his sword but something stopped him. I growled again to tell him I meant business but before I knew it I was engulfed in a hug. The scent that was on me messed with my mind and made me instantly calm. I loved his scent.

"Sasuke," I whispered rubbing his head.

"I wanted to look everywhere for you." Sasuke said into the back of my cloak but I have good hearing so I am pretty sure I am the only one who heard him. "Come home please." Sasuke pleaded which was something I never heard before.

It was foreign to me to have someone beg.

"Shikamaru stand down and put your sword away you're making the other people here jumpy." Sasuke said to the pineapple guy known as Shikamaru.

I turned while he still held onto me so I could hug him back. He is still a tiny little man compared to me but at least he has grown since being a kit.

"I'm here too Sasuke." Chibi said popping her head out the cloak.

"I told you that you can't bring foxes in the pub already you jackass." The bartender said making me turn toward the door with a clingy Sasuke.

"Shikamaru watch those two idiots. C will follow me and if not, Naruto won't let anything happen to me." Sasuke said with sheer confidence.

"Who is the fox?" I asked once we got out the door.

"C which happens to be your little brother." Sasuke said looking around obviously not finding what he is looking for.

"If you already got a fox why do you need me?" I asked stubbornly.

"Because you are the only one I have been begging to look for, for the longest time asshole. I missed you so much." Sasuke said pushing me but then grabbing me pulling me into a hug.

"I missed you too." I said unconsciously.

I swear I didn't want to say that.

"Then why didn't you come back?" Sasuke growled out at me.

If I wasn't under his red gaze I would have thought it was very appealing but I was getting lectured so I had to focus at the task at hand.

"Because what was I supposed to do let danger strike if I'm around?" I practically scream out.

"Yeah like I was safer with you gone. I didn't know how to control my abilities or understand why you started erasing yourself out my memories." Sasuke growled out.

"Wait... go back. I didn't erase your memories. What do you mean your memories are being erased?" I asked shocked.

"Naruto doesn't have the ability to erase your memories because you're his mate." Chibi said.

"Then who is?" Sasuke asked just as confused as we were.

"Whatever fox that doesn't want me around that's for sure." I said.

"Are you saying only foxes can do this?" Sasuke asked an elegant eyebrow going up in question.

"Yes, only..." I started.

"The prankster type foxes that like to mess around in people's heads." Chibi finished. "Naruto most definitely wouldn't do it to you even if he could." Chibi said.

"Shut up Chibi before I bite you." I growled.

"I am glad you two have been good. Now will you just come back home?" Sasuke asked looking me directly in the eyes. "I missed you." Sasuke whispered.

"Well since someone is erasing your memories I need to come back with you or you will forget about me forever and we can't have that, now can we?" I said with a smile. "How long are you going to be here?" I asked.

"We're going to be here for a week." Sasuke said with a smile I haven't seen since I left four years ago.

"I am so excited to see you Sasuke." Chibi said jumping onto Sasuke's shoulders.

Before I could stop it from happening I knocked Sasuke and Chibi out the way and prepared to fight. It was the fox from earlier.

(Sasuke P.O.V.)

I heard Naruto growl and looked to see what was going on. It was a fox attacking Naruto but Naruto didn't shift at all just blocked every bite from the fox.

"NARUTO don't shift in public." Chibi said.

"Why can't he shift?" I asked.

"Because foxes aren't well liked in this area. They don't mind me because they think I am a wild fox which I am." Chibi said.

"So, fox demons are feared upon." I said shocked.

"Naruto push him into the woods area." Chibi said.

Naruto growled and knocked the fox down holding him down. I ran after them and seen Naruto changing into his fox form.

"Naruto don't hurt him. That's your brother." I screamed out.

Naruto growled and pulled back but was still pacing back and forth. C started to turn back into his human form and looked at me shocked.

"What are you talking about?" C asked.

"That is your older brother Naruto. The fox I have been looking for since I was sixteen." I answered.

"You mean the damn fox that almost got you killed from those wolfs." C said.

Naruto growled and almost snapped at him until Chibi nipped at his snout.

"Sasuke what is he talking about?" Chibi asked.

"My group got attacked in an empty village by some wolfs." I said.

"Did they ask for Naruto?" Chibi asked.

"Yes, but they didn't exactly ask for him more like told me they were looking for him to kill him." I said.

I felt Naruto rub against my back in his fox form and I couldn't help the smile that I felt come on my face.

"So, this is my brother?" C asked.

"Yes," I said looking at Naruto circle me.

"You did all those spells on him then?" C asked.

"You got a problem with it?" Naruto growled glaring at C.

Wow that was a bit aggressive.

"Naruto calm down." I whispered but I knew they both heard me and pet his snout making a purring noise come out of him.

"We should get back." Chibi said.

"Yeah, we should, those humans that are with you seem to be having a problem." Naruto said making me highly alert and run out the woods with Naruto transforming and chasing after me along with C.

"You cheated there's no way in hell you could have won every single time." A man growled at Kakashi and Kiba while Shikamaru was trying to get everyone to calm down.

"What is going on?" I asked looking at everyone.

"It's none of your business." The guy said but before he could touch me Naruto grabbed his arm.

"Don't touch without a reason or he tells you to." Naruto growled out with Chibi yipping.

"Fox guy? What's it to you if I touch him?" The guy asked.

"He is mine and you won't touch him." Naruto said shoving the guy back far.

"We have to get out of here NOW Sasuke." Chibi said.

"I agree," C said pulling Naruto's arm only to get pushed away.

"Naru, come on." I said softly knowing he would hear me.

Naruto turned to me and I saw the red eyes he was displaying. That means his temper and power control were still sky high and it was still hard to control. I pulled him away and he didn't push me away.

"Let's go everyone," I said to all my people and we all took off before the incident could get worse.

I knew it would if Naruto got angry and I didn't want to see it. Naruto led us to a place he was saying telling us it was better than the castle and that he would take us back to the castle in the morning. After setting all of them up with blankets and stuff he fed everyone and my three guards fell asleep. C was wandering around in fox form with Chibi so Naruto and I were alone for the first time in a long time.

"Why did you leave without saying anything to me?" I asked.

"I was worried I would hurt you and bring more problems than necessary to your kingdom." Naruto said.

"I missed you a lot you know. I have always thought about you." I said softly.

I knew he would hear but I was sad and I didn't know whether or not I wanted to hit him or not.

"I missed you too and your big bed." Naruto said wrapping a tail around me.

"You're a bastard you know that?" I said chuckling.

"Yeah I'm sorry for that." Naruto said.

"Can I sleep by you?" I asked gently.

"You know you can." Naruto said with a smile.

We went into the room and I couldn't help but smile at how similar the room looks like mine at home.

"I was reminded by you when I went to buy everything." Naruto said noticing what I was staring at.

"And you tell me you don't want to come home." I said with a sly smile.

"I never said I didn't." Naruto said pulling me onto the bed.

"But you never said you did either." I said.

"Did you get taller by chance?" Naruto asked as I lay next to him.

"Don't try to change the subject asshole." I laughed out.

"I am happy you're here." Naruto said nuzzling in my neck and breathing my scent in. "I missed you so much." Naruto whispered.

That night we fell asleep together after all the time we spent apart. I couldn't help but feel fulfilled since I found him. Damn fox stole my heart.

Reviews..

I liked the ending because it was so fluffy.
