Shukaku: Hello to everyone! Thank you all for the record amount of reviews of any of my fanfics! Now, there is going to be a time skip in this chapter but don't kill me because nothing has happened! Oh, and I should have done this before but I am making it so that Kyuubi and Naruto have the same mother, it's too confusing, especially for what I have planned in later chapters.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Claimer: You know by now.

'...' Thoughts/Dreams

"..." Connection thoughts

Sasuke arrived home that afternoon in an unhappy mood though no expression showed on his pale face as he kicked his shoes off and made his way to the inner most room of the mansion; the den. He blinked a few times as he looked down into the den; Naruto was once again asleep on the large black sofa. He shrugged his shoulders and descended the small amount of stairs that led into the den.

"Naruto, if you're going to sleep then go sleep in our room," He mumbled, sitting down near the blonde's feet. The fox groaned and curled into a loose ball, he didn't feel like getting up yet. "Get up you lazy fox," Sasuke shifted and poked the blonde's leg with his foot.

"I'm tired!" He whined shifting to lie on his back. He kept his legs drawn up to keep from touching his master.

"You're always tired, Naruto," He rolled his eyes. Sasuke looked at his sleepy eyed pet, after the talk he'd had with Gaara and Shikamaru he was beginning to explore his confused feelings towards the boy. He looked at Naruto's slightly parted lips and his breath suddenly hitched. He began to imagine if they felt the same as they had before, the tip of his tongue darted out and swept over his own lips as he thought about it. 'No, I shouldn't think about him like that,' He scolded himself. 'But I can't help but wonder….' He knew Naruto couldn't hear his thoughts but he wanted to be cautious all the same. Naruto couldn't read his mind, the connection didn't work like that but if the fox did in fact connect with him at any point he could easily hear thoughts that weren't meant for him.

"Master, are you okay?" Sasuke finally started breathing normally at the sound of his pet's voice.

"I'm fine," He looked at the tan boy and sighed, knowing he was about to give into his curiosity. Sasuke shifted and crawled over his pets' body, straddling his hips and placing his hands on either side of his head.

"Master Sasuke, what are you….." He trailed off as the Uchiha bent down; stopping when their faces were only inches apart. Naruto, who was uncertain as to what to do, tilted his head back slightly. That was all Sasuke needed. He faked his arms giving out and collapsed onto the fox who opened his mouth in a startled gasp that never came out. Sasuke covered Naruto's mouth with his own and shut his eyes, not wanting to see the blonde's shocked expression. When the Uchiha finally pulled away and opened his eyes, he saw that Naruto was very shocked and his deep blue eyes were wide.

"Was that another accident?" He whispered shaking off the shock. At first Sasuke was confused but he soon remembered what he had told the fox last time.

"Yeah," He lied smoothly. "It was another accident," He climbed off the blonde and sat at the end of the sofa, quite content with what he'd done. 'It's just like last time,' He thought with a soft mental chuckle. He jumped when something touched his leg; he looked down to see Naruto's head resting in his lap, his human head.

"Master, can I sleep like this, just for now?" He grumbled not looking up at the Uchiha.

"Do whatever you want," He grunted. When he received no answer he looked down only to find the fox already fast asleep. Sasuke shifted his body and laid his head on a pillow with Naruto's head on his chest, soon he too was asleep.

"…. Like I was saying before, Ita-sama…." The Uchiha held up a hand, silencing the fox. "What is it?" Itachi pointed to the couch in the den, Kyuubi's red eyes followed and a smile spread across his face. "Well, would you look at that," Itachi grinned.

"I would have to say they're over the awkward stage," He smiled. Sasuke lay on his back with Naruto resting between his legs and his blonde head resting on his chest and the Uchiha's arms wrapped around his shoulders.

"I would have to agree," Kyuubi said as he descended the stairs. He took a blanket from the nearby closet and draped it over the resting teens. "Let's let them sleep for now," His master nodded as he wrapped an arm around the fox's waist.

Naruto excitedly pounced around the room yipping non stop and tails swaying happily, he loved the Star Festival!

"Naruto, settle down," Sasuke sighed in annoyance. The Uchiha tied his obi and sighed. The kimono was a dark/light shade of blue with dark blue trim. The fox stopped his pouncing and shifted forms; he kept both tails hidden since he didn't want them out during the festival. Last time they'd gone he'd made the mistake of leaving his tail out had had ended up with it being pulled about twenty times.

"I'm so excited though!" The fox wore an orange kimono with a dark pink obi, the sleeves and other parts of the kimono had light pink cherry blossoms on them.

"Try to settle down then," He rubbed his head lightly earning a smile.

"You two ready to go yet?" Kyuubi questioned from the door way. Like Naruto, Kyuubi wore a dark orange kimono with a matching obi, the bottom and sleeves had red flames on them.

"We're ready to go now leave us alone," Sasuke growled.

"No need to get snippy," Kyuubi muttered leaving the room. The two teens followed and met up with the two men at the door.

"You boys look so handsome this year," Lin gushed from her husband's side.

"Th-thanks, Lin-chan," Naruto rubbed the back of his head, slightly embarrassed. Lin wore a pink kimono with blue flower designs.

"It's good to see you boys again," Marcus said. The man had short black hair that tended to stick up in every direction no matter what he did and calm, almost liquid gold eyes. Marcus wore a simple dark purple kimono with a light blue obi.

"Let's get going, we need to meet up with Iruka and Kakashi soon," Itachi said. Everyone nodded, got their sandals on and headed out, meeting up with the other two men at the pet shop.

"My, don't you all look good today," Kakashi commented. "Let's not waste any time here."

"Agreed, let's go," Itachi nodded. The group continued on to the festival, Kyuubi and Itachi held hands as they walked, as did Iruka and Kakashi. Marcus walked with one arm wrapped around his wife's waist, Lin did the same. Sasuke and Naruto walked side by side, both boys had completely forgotten about the second 'accidental' kiss.

"Sasuke-sama, are you excited?" Naruto asked without glancing at the Uchiha. He'd finally stopped calling him master and now said –sama which still bothered him.

"I guess so," He answered in a bored voice. "It's been awhile since we last came here."

"That just makes it even more exciting!" Naruto had lost most of his childish behaviors but nothing would ever change how hyper he was at any given time.

"Alright, here we are," Kyuubi announced to the group. Naruto's ears began to twitch excitedly as he looked around the festival area. "We'll meet back here near the end of the festival," The group nodded and split up. Sasuke led his pet around, occasionally allowing him to buy treats or play games. They went by a stand that was selling masks and Naruto immediately took an interest in a mask that resembled a fox (A/N: Like Anbu masks).

"Sasuke-sama, can I get it?" Sasuke began to say no when his eyes fell on a wolf like mask.

"Okay," He shrugged and paid for the two masks. Naruto immediately put his on; Sasuke did the same after a few moments.

"It suits you, Sasuke-sama," The fox commented, his voice ever so slightly muffled from the mask.

"Same goes for you," He chuckled softly. The two continued to enjoy the festival together, winning prizes and even joining in a traditional dance that the others joined as well.

"I'd say it's about time we left," Kyuubi yawned near the end of the festival.

"Yeah, I think those two are dead on their feet anyway," Itachi jerked his thumb back towards the younger boys. Sure enough both boys' heads were bowed; occasionally one would jerk up as if trying to stay awake. "Sasuke, want me to carry you?" The younger's head snapped up and he glared through his mask.

"No, I can walk," He said stubbornly.

"Then you may want to consider carrying Naruto," Kyuubi snorted. Sasuke looked at his pet and sighed, he was basically sleep walking.

"Naruto, get on my back," The fox mumbled sleepily and got on his master's back without complaint, loosely wrapping his arms around the pale neck. Marcus took the bag of prizes from Sasuke who nodded his thanks to the man.

"We'll see you again soon," Kakashi waved as he and Iruka left for the scarecrow's home.

"We'll go on ahead," Lin smiled. "Marcus has to work in the morning so we'll drop this stuff off and head home." Lin and Marcus actually lived in a house not far from the Uchiha Mansion; in fact all the mansion staff lived close to the compound.

Sasuke groaned as he dumped his pet onto the bed, carrying him was no easy task. He removed his and Naruto's masks, slowly undressed and changed into a pair of shorts and a thin, sleeveless shirt.

"Naruto, change your clothes," He yawned, trying rouse the half-sleeping fox. The blonde gave a sleepy sigh and sat up, rubbing his eyes. He barely gave it a second thought as he shed the kimono and called forth the orange pants and black shirt. Pet's had this ability to change clothes at will, as long as they pictured the outfit first. With a sleepy glance he shifted forms and stretched out on his side of the large bed, curling into a loose ball to sleep. Sasuke placed both their masks on the bedside table and slipped into bed, almost immediately falling into a deep slumber.

Naruto pounced on his still sleeping master who groaned when the blonde's paw landed hard on his stomach. The fox yipped and nosed his pale cheek until he finally opened his hazy onyx eyes.

"Happy birthday, Sasuke-sama!" He thought happily. That's right, today was Sasuke's 17th birthday! The Uchiha groaned again and tried to go back to sleep but Naruto persistently nosed him.

"I'm up already now get offa me! The fox jumped away and lay on his belly next to him. The Star Festival only a few weeks ago had left Sasuke reevaluating his emotions once again. Naruto shifted forms and sat cross legged beside him, a lop sided grin on his face. "Why are you even up?"

"I couldn't sleep knowing it was your birthday," He laughed. Sasuke looked at the digital clock; it was only 3:24 in the damn morning!

"Next time you want to wake someone up, do it when normal people actual get up." He turned onto his side to sleep again. Naruto whined and shifted forms, nosing the pale teen's side. "Go back to sleep," He nosed him again. "Fine, I'll get up!" The Uchiha sat up and snapped his fingers angrily. "Lin isn't here so don't expect any food."

"I know that," He smiled as he shifted forms yet again.

"I bet you five dollars you won't last an hour without complaining about not eating."

"I bet you I can," He couldn't really bet any money since he didn't have any.

"You're on," They shook hands to seal the bet.

Xxxx

Sasuke's mouth hung open as he looked at the digital clock; it was 6:24 a.m. which meant Naruto had gone three hours without complaining about not eating!

"Looks like I win 15 dollars, Sasuke-sama," The fox laughed. The Uchiha had dumbly raised the stakes for every hour that had past. "You should hold onto it because I'll only lose it."

"Right, now we can go downstairs," Sasuke smirked as he jumped out of bed and darted out of the room. Naruto followed in fox form, easily bounding down the stairs before him. "Cheater," Sasuke panted once he made it to the dining room.

"You're getting slow, little brother," Itachi teased the teen. "Happy 17th birthday, otouto," He put the younger boys in a head lock and gave him a noogie (A/N: Vey childish and I probably spelt it wrong but this was all written when I had no power). Sasuke pulled free and sat at the head of the table with Naruto sitting to his right.

"Kyuubi-sama, please sit down," Lin laughed holding the cake above her head. The fox whined but did as she requested and sat down, shifting forms as he did so. The small group sang happy birthday to the teen as the green eyed woman set the cake in front of Sasuke.

"Make a wish," Naruto said quickly closing the connection. The Uchiha closed his eyes and blew out the candles after a moment.

"Well, Marcus and I weren't sure of what to get you so we have another surprise," Lin smiled and placed a hand over her stomach protectively. "I'm pregnant again, this time with twins."

"That's great news," Sasuke smiled. "This time make sure to get lots of rest and don't work so hard."

"In another few weeks I'll be on bed rest," She confessed. "So no need to worry this time around."

"Good," He took a bite of the cake and smiled, he was going to miss her heavenly cooking.

The day proceeded as any other day, Sasuke found Kyuubi's present and promptly hid it under his bed, not wanting Naruto to see what the perverted fox had given him. It was now 8:09 p.m. and Sasuke was lying on his bed shirtless and covered in a thin layer of sweat. Apparently the AC had broken sometime during the day but Sasuke doubted it since all the other rooms in the mansion were nice and cool.

"Sasuke-sama, it's way too hot in here!" Naruto complained fanning himself with his hand which did little to cool him off.

"Then shift into your fox form," He muttered sitting up.

"It'll only make things worse," Sasuke should have known that.

"Then take your shirt off," The fox hesitated but finally removed the black shirt. Sasuke could only stare at the smooth yet muscled chest and belly of his pet. He looked at the spiral marking on his belly suddenly curious about whom he would choose as a mate. 'Pet's and humans can't mate….. Can they?'

"Is something wrong?" Naruto asked snapping Sasuke out of his daze.

"Nothings wrong," The Uchiha watched as his pet willed his tail away. His heart began to race as he continued to stare at the shirtless blonde. "Naruto, I have to ask you something," He finally sighed. The fox looked at him curiously, his head cocked to the side cutely. "Do…. Do you like me?"

"That's a silly thing to ask," He giggled. "Of course I like you, you're my master."

"I already know that but do you like me? And I don't mean as your master!" Naruto's face became flushed and he hid his eyes.

"Yes," He whispered so quietly that Sasuke had to strain to hear him.

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Because I was afraid that you would be disgusted," He blurted. "A pet liking his master…." Sasuke was suddenly in front of him, his onyx eyes narrowed.

"Why would you think that? I don't care that you're a pet, it's not like I haven't heard this from my friends. Neji and Shikamaru love each other as do Sasori and Deidara, Gaara and Lee. No one cares, it's not like there's some law forbidding them from loving each other. I've liked you for the last 11 years, I just kept denying it because I thought it was wrong until now that is."

"You have the same feelings as I do?" The Uchiha nodded and Naruto smiled.

"I love you, Naru-chan," The blonde blushed at the nickname. He looked back at his master and uttered a startled cry when the raven pressed his lips against his own. "Its okay, Naruto, just relax," He whispered snapping his fingers to turn the lights off. The blonde closed his eyes as Sasuke eased him onto his back; he cautiously kissed back and found that the Uchiha was being just as cautious. Sasuke pulled the others body as close as humanly possible as the kiss continued, both pulled away for a split second before locking lips in a deeper, more passionate kiss. "I can't believe I denied these feelings for so long," Sasuke said between kisses. The raven reached around and yanked the hair tie from Naruto's hair earning a slight gasp.

"Now my hair is going to stick to my skin," He whined as Sasuke nibbled along his jaw.

"That's the point," He grunted licking the shell of Naruto's left ear. The fox mewed as Sasuke licked and nipped his shoulder, leaving a mark there. He kissed his way back up to his mouth and kissed him hard, fisting a hand in his blonde hair.

"S-Sasuke-sama…." The Uchiha ignored him as he released his hair and kissed his way down to his chest. He tugged at Naruto's collar and grew annoyed when it wouldn't come off for him.

"Take it off, the necklace too," He growled. The tan pet removed his collar and the shodai necklace, tossing them aside as his master licked and sucked on his collar bone. The raven moved and licked a pert nipple, earning a shudder and a low moan. Sasuke reached up and pinched the other nipple between his thumb and forefinger, earning another louder moan from the kitsune. Soon Sasuke moved to the other nipple, scraping his teeth over it lightly as he pinched its wet twin, drawing out enticing moans from the fox. The raven grew bored and licked and kissed his way down to his belly, occasionally nipping the already quivering flesh.

"Sasuke-sama….!" Again the Uchiha ignored him. He tugged lightly on his pants and boxers, exposing part of his tan hips. The teen nipped at the flesh causing Naruto's leg to twitch, he quickly made a mental note of this. He became bored and decided to trace the spiral mark which ended at his navel. The fox mewled and gasped as Sasuke traced the mark, occasionally nipping to see what kind of reaction he'd get. Once he finished tracing the spiral, he climbed back up the tan body and laced his fingers with Naruto's as he kissed his already swollen lips. He gently tugged his hands above his head and held them there as they kissed feverishly, this time adding their tongues to the already fiery kiss. Naruto lifted his hips and whined against his master's lips.

"We'll get to that shortly, just be patient," He grunted sucking his swollen bottom lip. Be patient? How could he tell him to be patient when that thing between his legs was throbbing oh so painfully?! To show he meant business, Naruto bit Sasuke's lip, tearing a small cut into the flesh with his canine. "You're serious aren't you?" The Uchiha raised an eyebrow as he wiped the blood away. "And here I thought you could never be serious," Naruto's leg twitched, as if threatening to knee a very sensitive place. Without another word, Sasuke moved down his body and tugged his pants off, his boxers followed soon after.

"Master…." Again he ignored the blonde as he trailed his fingers over his hard length. The fox hissed at his icy touch, how could his hand be that cold when the room was so hot? Sasuke kept his eyes on Naruto's face as he went down on him, taking most of his erection into his mouth and earning a loud gasp. The Uchiha's head began to bob up and down, tearing throaty moans from his pet. He flattened his tongue on the head of the fox's dick experimentally and caused said fox to buck.

"Naruto, are you enjoying this?" He received no answer which meant his thoughts were a big jumbled mess at the moment or he wasn't paying attention. Sasuke sucked on Naruto's member as he continued to bob his head and as he'd expected, it sent him over the edge. He swallowed his seed and crawled up his body to kiss the panting teen. The Uchiha stood on his knee's as he swiftly yanked his pants off along with his boxers and tossed them aside carelessly.

"S-Sasuke-sama, you're…. HUGE!!" The blonde seemed shocked by his size. Sasuke smirked as he flipped his pet onto his belly, wet his fingers and inserted two into his tight entrance. "Ahhh…!" Naruto shut his eyes and bit his lip. Sasuke immediately withdrew his fingers and leaned over him, worried he'd somehow harmed him.

"Did I hurt you?" He whispered grasping one of his hands.

"I-I'm fine," He answered opening his hazy eyes.

"We can stop at any time you want," Sure it was Sasuke's birthday and all but he didn't feel like having Kyuubi murder him for harming Naruto. The Uchiha cautiously inserted his fingers again, this time earning a low moan. Sasuke suddenly stopped what he was doing when an image of what Sai had done to his pet flashed through his mind. "Naruto, its okay if you don't want to do this yet. Don't force yourself to do something that makes you uncomfortable."

"I'm not ready," He whimpered. "In fact, I'm really scared," Just the thought of what Sai had done to him made his stomach turn.

"Then we'll pick this up when you're ready," He kissed his tan throat and crawled off the bed, collecting his clothes and heading into the bathroom to shower quickly and dress. Naruto curled into a ball, uncaring of the fact that he was naked.

"Niisan, I think Sasuke-sama is made at me," He called to Kyuubi.

"Why would he be mad at you? Have you done something wrong?"

"I got scared," He didn't want to say the rest.

"Why were you scared?" The older fox thought about why his otouto could possibly be scared. "The memory of what Sai did got in the way didn't it?" Naruto gave a mental nod. "Sasuke isn't mad at you, Naru-chan, you have to understand that. He cares about you too much to force you to do something that scares you like that. I'll talk to him later, we'll eventually figure out a way to help you get past that memory okay?"

"Thank you, Kyuubi-niisan," Naruto closed the connection and willed his clothes to him so he could dress.

Shukaku: Please don't kill me! Having no power those few days messed with my brain okay?

Sasuke: Damn you to hell!

Shukaku: Shut it ya big baby. Plz R&R
