Wow... this update is long overdue.
I apologize for the horrible first chapter. Turns out I'm improved at writing since that, and this chapter is so much better. SasuNaru comes in now! Sorry so soon, but I had to get it going, ne?

Naruto shook his head vehemently as Sasuke tugged at his shirt again, trying to coax him into the bath. He was completely embarrassed. He could bathe himself, but Sasuke was insisting.
"Please, Sasuke..." he begged, clasping his fingers around his master's in an effort to pull them away. Sasuke looked up curiously at him. "I... I can't let you do this."
"You're fine, Naruto... now in."
"No!"
Sasuke's eyes narrowed. He took a deep breath, and forcefully pulled the shirt over Naruto's head. His hand went swiftly to Naruto's ruffled hair and ears, patting his head softly.
"I'm... not... a damn cat!" Naruto shouted, snatching his shirt back angrily. "Do you realize you're sitting with a boy in your bathroom, trying to strip him?"
Sasuke smiled. "I'm trying to give my pet a bath."
"I'm not your p-"
"Shh." Sasuke brought a finger to Naruto's lips, watching as a faint blush stained his cat's cheeks. "Now come on."
He leaned forward, whispering into Naruto's ear as he slowly unzipped his pet's jeans.
"Come on... Naruto..."
His voice was silken and smooth, and Naruto was blushing furiously, he couldn't do anything to stop Sasuke's ministrations. Mesmerized, he vaguely felt his jeans sliding past his ankles and Sasuke's fingers tracing a path under his chin. He arched his neck slightly, thinking that maybe he was a bit more feline than he had realized.
He hissed when he felt Sasuke's hands at his boxers, and not even the cool voice could keep him spellbound any longer. He pulled back, his face crimson.
"All right, Sasuke, all right," he stuttered. "You can... give me a bath, but... but let me do this."
Sasuke sat back, his gaze never wavering from Naruto's mortified face. He watched as pathetic blue eyes met his, and he looked away for his sake. Naruto breathed in relief and undressed, hopping into the water shyly. Sasuke's glinting eyes turned back to him, a smile set on his lips.
There sat Naruto, naked to the waist, where the steaming water met his body and covered him. He was still blushing, and had started to sweat from the trapped heat in the closed bathroom. He looked so cute.
Sasuke dropped to his knees beside the tub, and Naruto recoiled against the wall slightly.
"Come here," Sasuke said, raising a hand to Naruto's face, cupping his cheek in his palm. The boy looked positively scared. Sasuke hands ran water over Naruto's chest and shoulders, pausing for a moment as they slipped over his neck. Their eyes were painfully locked, and Naruto couldn't take it anymore.
"Sasuke, stop!"
Sasuke's fingers twitched on Naruto's skin.
"Stop!" Naruto cried, looking down at the water in humiliation. "I'm a human! A human!"
"You're my cat, too."
"No..." Naruto lifted his eyes to Sasuke's again. "Just stop... or get in here with me."
"What?" Sasuke's eyes widened, his fingers pressing against Naruto's throat again.
"Just... you were looking at me..." Naruto brought his hand to the one Sasuke had placed on him. "And... please kiss me..."
He leaned forward blindly, but Sasuke leaned back just out of reach.
"Naruto..."
The cat froze, his body still tensed, and he sank back down into the water. He attempted to slow his breathing, and to calm his pounding heart, but he was getting nowhere. He felt a soft touch as his chin was lifted gingerly in Sasuke's fingers.
"You're... really not a cat, are you?"
Naruto shook his head lightly, and Sasuke smiled.
"You're much more than my pet," he said, pulling Naruto's chin towards him. "You're-"
"Wait!" Naruto stopped him. "This isn't... what you think..."
Sasuke stared at him, light frustration on his delicate features.
"I just wanted... a kiss... it was the moment..." Naruto was blushing again. "You had me going."
"I thought you wanted..."
"What are we doing?" Naruto clenched his fist and seized Sasuke's shirt. He nodded.
Sasuke leaned forward, their lips meeting in a soft kiss. It didn't take either of them very long to realize that they liked it - a lot. Naruto pulled him in closer, too far, and Sasuke toppled into the water with him. Sasuke sat up, sputtering, seated directly between Naruto's legs. His hands were slipping down when he heard his mother shout.
"Sasuke! What was that?"
Sasuke looked at Naruto.
"Silly cat pulled me in!" he shouted back, looking wildly at Naruto from the corner of his eye. "I'm fine!"
"If you're in the tub, then get out now! You don't need to be getting wet! Dry Naruto off and get to bed!"
"Yes, Mother!" Sasuke replied, and when all was silent, he turned back to Naruto.
"Coming to bed?" he asked with another brief kiss. His hand pushed firmly between Naruto's legs and he smirked at Naruto's gasp. He crept out the bathroom door without a backward glance, leaving Naruto to ponder.
When had Sasuke become this way? Hadn't he just yesterday met his cat for the first time? Wasn't he sort of simple-minded? And now... now he was a clever, charming boy that was turning him on.
He climbed out of the bath, wrapping a towel around his waist and stepping into Sasuke's room. He watched as his master patted the spot next to him again. He blushed and made to curl up, but Sasuke wrapped his arms around him, and kissed him again. Naruto turned, feeling Sasuke's tongue pressing against his lips.
He bowed his head into Sasuke's chest.
"This is wrong," he said. "Your mother got you a cat, not a... boyfriend."
"And as far as she knows, you're my cat."
Naruto looked up into those mischievious black eyes.
"Sasuke, what's gotten into you? Yesterday, you were ditzy and treating me like your pet..."
"I'll bet you're wondering about that, right?"
Naruto nodded, feeling hands working at the towel.
"I'll explain later," Sasuke said quietly, his lips reaching Naruto's sensitive neck. "Right now, I'll give you what you want."
"But..."
"You're a human," Sasuke said. "I know that."
"Not a cat?"
"Not a cat at all." His teeth nipped at Naruto's pulse, and his pet moaned.
"I don't understand..."
"Can you understand this?" Sasuke brought Naruto's hand to his growing arousal. Naruto's breath stopped. "I know you're confused, but come on... I know you want this..."
He ran his tongue down Naruto's collarbone. The blonde shivered.
"Explain... later... Sasuke?" he panted. He felt Sasuke nod. His blue eyes stared at the ceiling.
"Okay..." he said. "But... you're still my master, right?"
"Yes..." Sasuke said, an undeniable smirk in his tone. "I'll be your master..."
"I'll explain it all in the morning," he said, fingers roaming Naruto's skin.
