Hey guys, SECOND CHAPTER WOOOOO! Anyway, I just wanted to clarify something, this story is only going to have characters from Naruto Part 1, no Shippuden. Unfortunately, I have not actually read or watched Shippuden, so yeah…So…if you're wondering why some already deceased characters are in here, that's why! Also, the characters like Naruto are wearing some type of clothing, they are part human after all. Can't have those dangly parts hanging out all willy nilly! XD

Naruto sat dumbstruck in the light forest. 'The hunter…the man…had left him alive?' Naruto's mind raced as this sentenced seemed to get louder and louder. It began to ring in his ears until he could bear it no more and cried out in delight. He laughed stupidly and began to roll in the leaves. He was ALIVE! ALIVE! He was completely and utterly exuberant at that one thought. Alive… Naruto stopped rolling in the leaves and sat back up. Just because the man had let him live…didn't mean there weren't others. Naruto perked his ears and, after hearing nothing, ran back toward his hole. He dove into it as he had done so many times before and lay there, his chest rising a falling in rapid succession. 'That man…why had he let him live? And…why was he so unhappy when he walked off?' Naruto wondered.

He shrugged it off and rolled over, he was very tired and a nap would do wonders for him. So, Naruto fell into a light sleep as the sun rose higher into the sky.

The man, the hunter, named Sasuke stalked off to his cabin on the edge of the woods. What had come over him? He wondered. He had never acted that way before! He even forgot his kill, DAMNIT! He opened the door to his small home, set his gun in the rack, and kicked off his boots. He ran his hand through his hair, still completely frustrated with himself at what he had done. Chasing after a creature of that caliber and NOT killing it? Unheard of, especially for Sasuke. But…something had come over him when he had the fox turned over.

Sasuke sat down as his wood table and placed his head on his hands. The eyes that fox had, and…the fact that it hadn't been a real fox, but…a hybrid…a startled Sasuke so bad he… He stood and began to pace. What if that fox had ripped his throat out? What if it had gone for his eyes? Sasuke's mind began to formulate idea after idea of what the fox could have done to him…but, it wasn't until he stopped pacing…that he realized…it wouldn't have. The eyes it had, those sensitive, blue eyes had never looked upon a true kill. That much Sasuke knew, they were the complete opposite of his. He had the eyes of a hardened predator, someone who could kill and feel nothing afterwards.

Sasuke sat back down at the table and rubbed an eye. That fox… he couldn't get the fox out of his mind. He wanted to know what it was that the fox had done to him to cause him to return home. Sasuke had heard of animals that could place spells, but that was just rumor…wasn't it? Sasuke cried out in frustration and went to rest his head on the table, but let it drop too quickly and slammed into it, instead of softly setting it down. He reeled back in pain and rubbed the spot on his head. As jumped up in anger and turned the table over. What was happening to him? This wasn't like him, he was always so calm and collected. This encounter with that fox had completely distorted him. Sasuke took a deep breath and sat down on his bed. He closed his eyes and took a few more deep breaths, he even counted to ten.

'All right…that's better…' he thought finally calming down. Now… Sasuke opened his eyes and looked up at his still open door. The thing to do now was…go collect his kill, and hopefully, not run back into that fox. Sasuke stood once more and walked to the rack were his gun rested. He slipped into his boots once more, reloaded his gun, and went back out into the hot forest. This time would be different, he wouldn't lose himself again.

Naruto opened his eyes and looked out at the bright day. The lovely yellow sun was still high in the light blue sky. Naruto cocked his head, that was odd, he usually slept longer than that. He shrugged and heard his stomach growl. He smiled at that and peaked out of his hole, listening and smelling for any sounds, and predators. Unlike Sasuke, who couldn't get his mind off the fox, Naruto had no trouble forgetting the man.

Satisfied there was nothing around, he crawled out of his hole, then, began to run in the opposite direction he had gone this morning. On the run, he thought back to what the man had said…about having never seen one of his kind before. What Naruto had said was true, his kind didn't want to be seen by man. It had happened once, but the girl had been taken away the moment they spotted her. His kind didn't come around very often. His mother had called it a 'mutation', some form of blood mixing where the animal is born with human attributes, and could pass for one…if given the right amount of cover. Naruto rubbed his ear and sighed, he didn't ever want to be seen by any man ever again. That was truly terrifying. He finished his run and stopped at the small pool near the snake holes. There was an unspoken rule about stopping at other watering holes…but Naruto was really thirsty.

He looked around and sniffed a few times for any snakes, but, smelling none, bent down and took a couple of drinks from the crystal blue pool. Naruto began to think about the snakes, and thought there was one like him…maybe two, he couldn't remember. It had been so long since him mother had told him of how many there were in this forest. Naruto took another drink, not hearing the soft footsteps coming up behind him. He wiped the sweat off his forehead when something grabbed him from behind. He squealed in fright as he was turned around and there stood THREE from the snake clans. Three, just like him. Naruto whined as the tallest snake had him by the hair on his head.

"Well, well, boyssss. Look what we have here." Said the one who had a hold on Naruto. He had long dark hair and his skin was as pale as the sun on the hottest day of the year.

"Yessss…" said the one to his right. He had short white hair and red markings on his face.

"I get sssome thisss time, right?" asked the last. The last one had his silver hair tied back and he wore some strange thing on his face, some form of reflective liquid that held its form.

"Sssshut it…" said the tallest one, "What are you doing here, fox boy?" he asked leaning in close to Naruto.

"I…I…I was thirsty…" Naruto whispered fingers interlocked and twisting in fear.

"You know itssss againsssst our lawssss…" he said, his breath reeked of mice carcass.

"I know…but…"

"No butssss," He said dropping Naruto, "You know the punisssshment." He said and licked his lips with his long, disgusting tongue.

"I'm…I'm sorry, please!" Naruto cried as the pounced on him and began to assault him.

Sasuke was walking back to his cabin when he heard a high pitched scream come from his right. Someone was in trouble, Sasuke immediately thought of the fox, but dismissed it and ran for the voice. He wasn't sure why he was doing it, he was never this heroic. He ran to the screaming as it got louder and more frantic, the high pitched sound filling the forest. He extended his stride, and finally, reached where the screams were coming from and came to a dead halt.

There, surrounded by three creatures, was the blue eyed fox. He was being touched and molested in such intimate ways…hands, hands, and tongues, everywhere. They tore at him and licked him, the grabbed and bit into him, drawing bloody masses of fur away. The fox cried in pain and fear as they touched him and stroked him.

The tallest was behind him and seemed to be ready to stick something in him, his hand around the waist of the fox. Sasuke didn't think as he raised his gun and fired a shot at the monster. It tore the creatures, what seemed to be a snake, apart. All four stopped moving as they looked at him, the tallest's shoulder bleeding furiously.

"Release him." Sasuke said, his voice deadly. All three immediately dropped the fox and began to back away from him, the tallest not even taking notice of his bleeding shoulder. Sasuke walked forward to the fox, his gun still pointed at the snake hybrids. That was what they were, he realized, just like the fox. Sasuke bent down and grabbed the fox hybrid around the waist, throwing him over his shoulder, "If I ever see you again…" he didn't even have to finish as the three snake hybrids took off into the woods. Sasuke lowered his gun slightly and backed away from the small pool of water, then, began to head back to his home. He was absolutely livid at what he had just seen. His mind raced in white fury as his picked up his stride, not noticing the sniffling coming from behind him.

R&R Please! Hopefully some sexy time next chapter!
