Shukaku: Sorry for the late update, I've been busy. But here is chapter 7 and it has some good stuff too he he...

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Naruto walked alongside his master happily as they made their way through the town slowly. Around his neck was a new collar made of a strong black silk, from it hung a glinting new tag along with a beautiful new ruby. Naruto had insisted he didn't want anything else and that he was happy with the collar, though Sasuke knew the young fox was lying. He knew the blonde just didn't want to seem spoiled just because his master was an Uchiha.

"Well if it isn't the baby who can't even protect himself," An emotionless voice taunted. Sasuke stepped in front of Naruto to protect him as a pale teen no older than himself stepped out from beside a market shack, an arrogant smirk on his face as he looked from master to pet.

"Sai, if you cause trouble here I will tell Yamato-san again," Sasuke growled at the pale pet.

"I'm not here to start trouble, Uchiha-san," He looked at Naruto. "I'm just here to wish Naruto an early 16th birthday," Sasuke's eyes narrowed and Sai's tail flicked in amusement.

"How do you know about his birthday?"

"I have my ways of finding these things out, Uchiha-san," He walked towards them, hands raised to show he meant no harm. He knelt down near Naruto who was hiding behind Sasuke's legs, clinging to his pants as though he thought Sai would snatch him away. "The years just fly by don't they, little Naruto?" He reached out and cupped a tan cheek, gently caressing the flesh with his thumb.

"Don't touch him, Sai," Sasuke growled at the wolf. The pale pet ignored him as he continued to speak to Naruto.

"Well, I believe it is time for me to leave," His hand fell away as he leaned forward and brushed his lips over Naruto's.

"Sai, leave him be," A low voice hissed. The wolf stood, looked over his shoulder and frowned; it was Gaara Sabaku and his pet Rock Lee.

"Enjoy your day, Uchiha-san; I'll see you around… Or not," He chuckled to himself as he walked away.

"He really needs to be taught a lesson or two," Gaara growled as he walked over to Sasuke.

"You don't know how much I would like to do it myself," He looked down at Naruto who was shaking with fear. "Shift forms," The blonde did so and was lifted into Sasuke's arms with ease. Lee looked at the fox and smiled, his black panther ears flicking playfully.

"How are you, Uchiha? Since you've been suspended and all," As children Sasuke and Gaara had been friends, they still were but they rarely ever had time to talk or anything.

"Good, and Naruto is starting to get bigger," He gently rubbed the fox's head.

"So I see," An amused smile graced Gaara's lips. "You had better watch out, otherwise he'll be as big as Kyuubi when he finally hits a growth spurt."

"I know," The Uchiha chuckled. "It was good seeing you but shouldn't you be in school?"

"I was suspended with you and Kankuro."

"But you didn't do anything," Sasuke frowned.

"Principle said I had to keep an eye on Kankuro, so I'm technically not suspended in the same sense as you are. I'll see you on Tuesday," He grabbed Lee's hand and tugged him along.

"Let's go home alright, Naruto?" The small fox mewed in agreement as Sasuke started home.

Naruto wiggled free of Sasuke's arms and scrambled to his brother to show off his new collar.

"From the look on you face, I'd guess you had a run in with Sai today," Itachi mused startling his little brother.

"Yes, and he somehow knew about Naruto's birthday," Sasuke kept the other part to himself.

"Something else happened didn't it?" He raised an eyebrow at the younger boy.

"Nothing else happened, Itachi!" Sasuke clamped his jaw shut; he'd basically given it away now.

"What did he do this time?"

"He put his hands on Naruto and he tried to kiss him. If he ever touches him like that again, I swear I'll wring his neck!" He clenched his fists by his sides.

"If I was Sai, I would have done the same thing," Sasuke was appalled by his brother's words. "It's time you start accepting reality, Sasuke, Naruto is getting older, and he is no longer the helpless kit you bought ten years ago. Other pets are going to see him as more than just a cute fox in a few days, keep that in mind." Itachi grasped his shoulder, sighed and left, muttering under his breath.

'What is he talking about?' Sasuke shrugged and wandered off to find Naruto. It wasn't too hard to find him for he was in one of the front rooms with Kyuubi who was tickling his sides. The older fox whispered something to the blonde who nodded and ran off as his brother got to his feet.

"Naru-kit told me what happened," His tone of voice suggested he was very displeased with the Uchiha. "The days following his birthday, I suggest you keep a very close eye on my brother; while you're at school I'll make sure he isn't alone at any time." He sighed and shoved both hands through his hair; he was obviously distressed about something. "I've got to get some rest," He finally muttered. "Go up to your room to watch Naruto, he's probably waiting for you anyway."

Sasuke sat on the couch in his room, one leg crossed over the other and both arms crossed over his chest.

'Who does he think he is telling me what to do?' He thought angrily. 'And what's got him so worked up in the first place?' He was brought back to reality by Naruto when he jumped into his lap with a light laugh.

"Master, stop glaring at the wall," He laughed. "It isn't good for you," The Uchiha's eyes softened as he rubbed the fox's head.

"Whatever you say, Naruto," He grinned and lowered his hand to his side. The blonde's eyes widened and a loud giggle erupted from him as Sasuke began tickling his sides. Naruto laughed uncontrollably as they tumbled to the floor, the raven continued his assault on his pets' sides, a small smile on his face. Itachi watched this from the door which was cracked open, a calm expression on his face as he watched.

'It's been too long since he last enjoyed himself like this,' He thought as he walked away. 'He and Naruto deserve to be happy, now more than ever actually. Things are about to change and it'll either work out or go horribly wrong,' He walked into his room to find Kyuubi pacing worriedly. "Kyuubi, please stop worrying so much, Naruto is in good hands."

"I just don't want him getting hurt!" He threw his arms up with a growl.

"Sasuke may be a rough child but he would never hurt Naruto, not for any reason."

"How can you be so sure, Itachi-sama?!"

"Because, my dear pet, he is an Uchiha and we don't make a habit of harming our lovers," He cupped the fox's cheek.

"If Sasuke so much as bruises my brother I swear I'll kill him!"

"Kyuubi, you are too tired and upset to think straight," Itachi sighed. "Let's get some rest," He took the kitsune's hand in his and climbed into bed. He held Kyuubi to his chest as he let out his emotions and gently stroked his back to calm him. "Everything will be okay, Kyuubi, I promise," His voice faded as he drifted to sleep.

Naruto's little chest heaved as he tried to catch his breath. Sasuke leaned over him on his hands and knee's, bangs barely touching the fox's flushed cheeks.

"You haven't smiled this much since we were little," Naruto observed with a lopsided grin. The Uchiha smirked and bent down so their faces were inches apart.

"The same can be said for you," The fox's grin widened a fraction but Sasuke saw the pain in his eyes. "When my parents died and I became a bit distant, you stopped being happy. When you gained your human form, I noticed all your smiles were forced and so obviously fake. I didn't want to say anything but it was hard to keep it to myself when you were forcing yourself to be happy for my sake."

"I just wanted you to be happy again," Naruto's face fell and his grin disappeared.

"Don't force yourself to be happy when I'm not," The blonde's ears fell back. "I don't like it so don't you ever do it again."

"I promise not to do it anymore," He whispered. Sasuke nodded and sat back on his legs. The Uchiha nearly jumped when Naruto's belly growled loudly, he laughed when the blonde's face grew red with embarrassment.

"Let's go get some food from Lin," Naruto cheered loudly as he jumped to his feet. Out of all the kitchen staff, he liked Lin the best because she was always so nice to him.

Kyuubi glanced out the window at the full moon; he sighed when Itachi wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him back against his chest.

"Have you finally calmed down, Kyuubi?" The fox nodded and covered Itachi's arms with his own. "Come back to bed, you need more rest," The Uchiha pulled his arms free and grasped a tan wrist. He tugged the kitsune along behind him and got into bed, holding Kyuubi against him. Itachi lightly pressed their lips together and smiled when the fox whimpered for more. "Not now, Kyu-chan, it's late and you need rest."

"I'm not tired, Itachi-sama," He protested. He stubbornly glared at the Uchiha who only glared back, Kyuubi smirked as he hooked one leg over Itachi's hip and rocked his hips against his master's, groaning when the other did the same..

"I suppose I'll just have to tire you out," The fox's eyes widened. In the blink of an eye, Itachi had Kyuubi pinned to the bed and a hand down his pants. The man smirked when his fingertips touched what they sought and wrapped themselves around the heated flesh; Kyuubi threw his head back at the icy touch. "Perhaps I should touch you like this more often," Itachi whispered. "You look so cute when I do this," He gave the erection a light squeeze earning a low moan.

"Don't tease me!" Kyuubi growled through clenched teeth.

"I suppose I shouldn't," He quickly pulled the fox's shirt off and undid his pants. "But teasing you is fun," He crushed his lips down on his pets'. Kyuubi snaked his arms around Itachi's neck in an attempt to pull him closer; the Uchiha pulled away for a breath but Kyuubi pulled him back down.

"We're doing it my way this time," He growled. The kitsune hastily unbuttoned his master's shirt and ran his hands over his pale chest, tracing the leans muscles he felt there. They kissed feverishly as they touched and caressed each others bodies.

"Why are you so eager, Kyuubi? This is only the second time," Itachi chuckled. In one swift movement he yanked the fox's pants off and dove down to attack his neck, covering the tan flesh with love bites and kisses.

"Damn it, Itachi-sama, you know I don't like that!" Kyuubi hissed as the Uchiha gave him one last bite.

"Don't be such a baby, you can cover them with your collar," The man stopped and thought for a moment. "I have an idea," A sly smirk played over his lips as he climbed out of bed. He returned with some of Kyuubi's old collars and leashes, as well as his neck chain leash. The fox's red eyes widened as 

Itachi bound his wrists, attaching the leashes which he tied to the rails of the back board; he also placed a collar on his neck loosely before tying it to the bed with the chain which was cool against his hot skin.

"I never pegged you as a kinky person, Itachi-sama," Kyuubi nibbled along the Uchiha's jaw as he climbed on him again.

"It just makes it even more fun for me," Itachi's mouth trailed a fiery path down his chest, only stopping to briefly tease his nipples. The Uchiha kissed his pet's flat belly before sitting up and swiftly removing his pants and shirt, leaving both men in their boxers. Itachi kissed the fox hard while his hands roamed his body, memorizing every line and shape. His left hand moved between Kyuubi's legs to cup his erect member through his boxers, the fox's hips lifted slightly but Itachi held him down.

"Stop it already!" The Uchiha smirked as he removed his hand.

"If you continue to whine and complain, I'll have to gag you or something, Kyuubi," The fox shut his mouth. Itachi smiled as he shifted and removed his pets' boxers, earning a hiss from the fox. Kyuubi began to tug at the leashes that bound him to the bed; he hated not being able to do anything. The black haired man smirked as he went down on the fox, drawing Kyuubi's member into his mouth, the fox gasped and arched up. Itachi held Kyuubi's hips down as he began to bob his head up and down, the fox moaned and whimpered as the Uchiha continued to torture him. Kyuubi moaned loudly as the heat in his belly became too much for him and he released his seed into Itachi's mouth.

"D-damn you, Itachi-sama," He panted, eyes glazed and cloudy. The man kissed his pet who licked up the remains of his seed from the corner of his mouth; he obediently sucked his masters' fingers when he held them to his mouth. Itachi spread his pet's thighs apart before removing his boxers and lifting the fox's hips slightly. "Just do it already!"

"Tsk, be patient, love," He inserted a finger into the fox's tight hole, earning a slight whimper of pain. "Its okay, Kyuubi," He moved the finger around for a minute before adding a second finger to stretch him. He tapped a certain bundle of nerves and Kyuubi moaned loudly making the Uchiha smirk as he did it again.

"Please, I want you…." Itachi raised an eyebrow as he moved over the fox again. He removed his own boxers and coated his painfully hard member with saliva.

"You want what, Kyuubi?" He asked in a husky voice, positioning himself at his pet's entrance.

"I want you, now!" Itachi smirked and thrust into Kyuubi who screamed in pain. He waited a few seconds before moving, he started slow to tease the fox who moaned and tossed his head as much as the collar allowed him to. Soon Itachi picked up the pace, shifted his hips and hit Kyuubi's prostate which made the fox cry out his name and clutch at his the covers. Both men were panting heavily and moaning, sweat dripped from Itachi's face as he continued to thrust into Kyuubi. He felt the fire in his belly tightening; he was getting closer to bursting ever second!

Kyuubi reached down and wrapped his hand around his own dick which had become hard again and began to pump the member, moaning loudly. Itachi clamped his eyes shut as he pulled out and released his seed on Kyuubi who moaned when he too came for the second time, coating Itachi's torso.

"Wh-why didn't you stay in?" Kyuubi panted in a pouty voice.

"You know why, kyu," Itachi collapsed on his pet panting. "We really should get washed up," He mumbled as he untied the fox.

"I'm too tired," Kyuubi grumbled as he closed his eyes.

"Me too," Itachi held the fox close and closed his eyes, quickly drifting off to sleep.
