The Cheshire Cat

Chapter Two

"Okay, look, Kakashi," Naruto growled, resisting the urge to add 'if that is your real name' to the end. "What I'm saying is that Sasuke isn't what I ordered at all! I ordered a cat!"

"Isn't Sasuke a cat?" Kakashi's voice was disgustingly cheerful over the phone.

"Well, I guess," Naruto groaned, "but I meant a cat-cat, like a feline! Not a freaky half-human thing!"

"You ordered the Uchiha Breed, right?" Kakashi asked after some papers rustled. Naruto gripped the phone harder, shuffling on the couch.

"Yeah!" he agreed. "It was called the Uchiha Breed or something."

"That's what Sasuke is," Kakashi answered in a gleeful voice. "He is the Uchiha Breed."

"But he's not a cat!" Naruto shouted as he leapt to his feet. "He's a pervert and he keeps molesting me!"

"Oh! That's easily fixed!" Kakashi gushed over the phone.

Naruto's eyes lit up. "It is?" he asked, clutching the phone with two hands. "How?"

"Have sex with him."

"WHAT?" Naruto almost dropped the phone at the man's suggestion, catching it at the last minute. He stared down at it, trying not to freak out. "That's bestiality you freak!" he shouted. "What's wrong with you?"

"It's not bestiality," Kakashi scolded. "That's what Sasuke is for – sex."

"AHH!" Naruto thumped his head on the coffee table. "Nooooo…"

A pale hand snatched the phone out of Naruto's hand. Naruto looked up to see Sasuke glaring down at him as he raised the phone to his ear. "He won't return me," Sasuke snapped into the phone. "He won't call back." Sasuke hung up before dropping the phone onto its cradle.

"Don't do that!" Naruto shrieked as he leapt to his feet. "Bad cat!"

Sasuke grabbed Naruto's shirt, spinning Naruto and slamming him against the wall. Naruto groaned as Sasuke's eyes bore into his. "I'm your pet," he growled. "You bought me. You want me."

"No, I don't!" Naruto shouted. "I don't!"

Sasuke let out a growl before he threw Naruto to the floor. Before Naruto could react Sasuke was straddling him, gripping his hands. Naruto shrieked, trying to push him off. Sasuke smirked as he saw Naruto was preoccupied with his hands. "You're forgetting, Naruto," he purred. "I have another…"

Naruto's eyes widened as Sasuke's tail rose from behind him.

"What…?" Naruto's eyes widened as the tail moved forward. "What the hell are you doing with that?"

Sasuke smirked, his hands keeping their tight grip on Naruto's as his tail slid to the waistband of Naruto's pants.

"Today I'm going to get you off with my tail."

"WHAT?" Naruto tried to struggle as Sasuke's tail slid into his pants. "Get off!" Sasuke ignored him, leaning in to trail his tongue up Naruto's neck as his tail wrapped around Naruto's cock. He began to stroke it, smirking at the moans Naruto released.

"No," Naruto groaned, "you can't… no… ahh!"

Sasuke's tail brought him closer and closer to completion, Naruto twisting and bucking. Sasuke leaned in to lick up Naruto's neck, tasting the delicate skin. Naruto tasted so delicious, and with every taste Sasuke got, he became more and more addicted.

The tail around his shaft sent Naruto spiralling into pleasure. He barely noticed the tongue trailing along his neck, and his hands were no longer trying to push Sasuke off, but were hanging onto him for dear life. He was being pushed closer and closer to the edge.

Sasuke's eyes devoured Naruto as his back arched. Naruto released a great shuddering breath just as his orgasm hit. A low whine sounded from Naruto's throat as he came, coating his pants and Sasuke's tail.

Naruto panted heavily as he looked up at Sasuke through cloudy eyes. Sasuke smirked down at him, pulling his tail out of Naruto's pants. He brought the slender appendage to his mouth, his tongue darting out to lap at the come staining it.

Naruto's breath caught at the sight before his mind caught up. With a loud shriek he shoved Sasuke off of him, scrambling from the room and down the hall to his bedroom. Sasuke chuckled as he finished cleaning his tail, eyes locked down the hall where Naruto had vanished.

Sasuke was getting to him.

Naruto glared down at the black eyes that were watching him in confusion. Naruto narrowed his eyes further, his nose practically touching another one.

"Naruto, what the fuck are you doing, dude?"

At the sound of his master's voice Akamaru's tongue shot out to run up Naruto's face. Naruto frowned, leaning back away from him. His glare changed from the large dog to his owner. "Hey, Kiba," he whined at the shaggy haired brunet. "How come you get a normal pet?"

Kiba rolled dark eyes, sitting on the couch across from Naruto's. Instantly the large dog leapt over to him, curling up beside him on the couch. "Because I'm not a retard," Kiba explained. "I didn't order a pet over the internet."

Naruto scowled as he reclined back against his neighbour's couch. Kiba lived across the hall from him; they were good friends. His large dog, Akamaru, was quiet and well tempered, so he was allowed to stay. Not that Kiba would have given him up anyway.

"My stupid cat molests me," Naruto grumbled. "He's a pervert…"

The door to Kiba's apartment flew open suddenly and the aforementioned cat stalked in. His eyes narrowed as they fell on Naruto. "Alright, dobe," he growled. "You've been gone an hour alre-"

Sasuke froze, his eyes growing wide as he stared at the other couch. From his place beside Kiba, Akamaru growled, baring teeth at the cat. The two remained locked in a heated stare as the two owners suddenly realized what was going on.

'Oh shit…' As the thought passed through the two human's heads, simultaneously – Akamaru snarled, launching himself off the couch and at Sasuke. Before the cat could move beyond bringing a hand up to shield his face, Akamaru was on him, his teeth sinking into a pale arm as the two pets tumbled to the ground.

Naruto let out a rather girly scream, throwing himself at Akamaru and tugging the large dog off of Sasuke. Kiba grabbed the dog by the collar, pulling sharply. Akamaru obeyed his master, backing away from Sasuke while snarling.

Naruto was on Sasuke in seconds. The cat found Naruto wrapped around his chest, cradling his arm carefully as he screamed at Kiba to get an ambulance.

"Ambulance, or vet?" Kiba asked with a slight snicker. Naruto's head shot up and he glared at Kiba with icy blue eyes.

"It's not funny!" he screamed. "Do something!" Naruto returned his attention to Sasuke, carefully pressing a jumper from the floor to the wound. Once it was covered he buried his face in Sasuke's chest, barely noticing he was kneeling in between the cat's open legs.

"Dobe," Sasuke began gently. "It's not that bad."

Naruto fisted his top, pulling him closer. "You best not fucking die," he hissed. "Don't you fucking die!"

Sasuke wrapped his uninjured hand awkwardly around Naruto, pulling him closer. Naruto pressed his body against Sasuke's, wanting to seek comfort in the dark and warmth.

Sasuke looked over the bright mop of hair at Kiba. Kiba rolled his eyes before picking up a nearby phone. "I'll call my sister," he muttered. "She's a vet." Sasuke's eyes narrowed and he tugged Naruto closer. Kiba ignored the glare. "Dude, you're part cat," he pointed out as he entered numbers, "and Akamaru's a dog. It makes sense."

Kiba strode from the room as he brought the phone to his ear. Sasuke patiently rocked Naruto back and forth, stroking Naruto's back and ignoring the pain in his arm. A vet… if he had been a human he would have been taken to a doctor. Of course, if he had been human the stupid dog wouldn't have attacked him. Hell, if he had been human Naruto would have probably accepted him by now instead of being freaked out by every touch.

Sasuke tightened his grip on the shaking Naruto, ignoring his chant of, 'Don't die, don't die, don't die.'

To say Sasuke fascinated Inuzuka Hana was an understatement. She prodded at his ears, poked his tail and bared his teeth, amazed – until Sasuke bit her hand. Her yelp of pain brought her to Naruto's attention. In an instant Naruto was out of Sasuke's arms, tackling Hana and screeching for her to 'fix' Sasuke.

Sasuke growled, reaching out to tug Naruto back into his arms. Naruto didn't struggle; he simply wrapped his arms around Sasuke in return. Sasuke held his injured arm out to the vet. "You'll have to work with him here," he said. He wasn't letting Naruto go. Hana nodded, setting her kit down and opening it.

Hana was good at her job. She cleaned Sasuke's wound quickly and efficiently, bandaging it neatly. She scrawled down a number for Naruto to call if it got infected, but she doubted it would. The whole time the vet was working, Naruto had remained huddled against Sasuke, clutching his top and muttering to himself.

Finished, Hana rose. She crossed immediately to where Akamaru was sulking. She leaned down, her face expressionless as Akamaru looked back up at her, and then she flicked his nose. "Bad puppy!" she scolded. Akamaru let out a low whine, his ears going down. "No attacking Sasuke!"

Akamaru slunk out of the room as Hana left. Once his sister was gone Kiba approached Naruto, leaning down to touch his back. "Hey, Naruto," he muttered. "It's okay."

A low growl tore from Sasuke's throat as he pulled Naruto away from Kiba's touch. Kiba raised an eyebrow before backing away slightly. "Whoa," he chuckled, "jealous much?"

Sasuke ignored the loud dog-man, cuddling Naruto closer and enjoying his time with his owner. If only Naruto was this cuddly all the time. Sasuke curled his tail around Naruto's waist along with his arms, burying his nose in sunshine locks and inhaling the scent deeply.

Naruto let out a sigh of relief once he realized Sasuke was alright. He was out of danger. He was fine. He had been so damn scared – Sasuke had been in danger, and his body had just reacted. He had wanted to make sure he was okay, make sure he was still there. So he had…

Naruto's eyes shot open as he realized he was wrapped up in Sasuke's arms, the cat's tail curving around him.

"AHH! PERVERT-CAT!"

Sasuke couldn't keep a smirk from curving on his face as he leaned back in his chair, watching as Naruto darted around the kitchen making him lunch. His owner had been exceedingly nice to him since the attack, caring for him and waiting on him.

Naruto dropped the plate in front of his pet, smiling at Sasuke. He wanted the cat to stay happy. He had lately realized that when the cat became unhappy he ended up molesting Naruto. So yeah, a happy Sasuke was a good Sasuke.

Sasuke raised his eyebrow at the food before him before looking back up at Naruto. "I'm injured," he drawled with a smirk. "You need to feed me."

Naruto's eyes narrowed briefly before he sighed and sat next to the cat. Keep the cat happy. Keep the cat happy. Picking up the chopsticks he picked up a piece of sushi from the plate, pressing it against Sasuke's lips. The cat smirked, his tongue darting out to lap at the food before he opened his mouth pointedly. Naruto set the piece of food inside, nodding in satisfaction as the cat chewed obediently. He withdrew, but Sasuke's pale hand darted out to grab his own. Sasuke's eyes locked on Naruto's, the cat lowered his lips to Naruto's hand, licking up a stray piece of rice.

"What are you doing?" Naruto asked suspiciously as Sasuke kept licking him. "Sasuke?"

"Cats lick their owners all the time," Sasuke replied with a shrug. Naruto's eyes narrowed.

"Stop it," he ordered. Sasuke licked his hand one more time before obeying.

Naruto picked up a new piece of food, and Sasuke opened his pale mouth instantly. Naruto fed the cat quickly, dunking the sushi in soy sauce or wasabi when it was requested. "I guess you'll be staying for a while," Naruto muttered, completely forgetting his 'keep Sasuke happy' plan. "I can't exactly return you injured."

"You won't be returning me at all," Sasuke growled, glaring at Naruto.

"You're obviously delusional with illness," Naruto murmured as he lowered the chopsticks. "We'll talk later." Naruto rose, exiting the kitchen.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he watched Naruto go. There was no way in hell Naruto was returning him.

As usual that night Sasuke refused to sleep on the couch. Naruto's pride prevented him from sleeping on the couch himself. His pet wasn't kicking him out of his bed. Naruto tried to place strict boundaries every night during the week Sasuke had been with him, consisting of 'personal space bubbles' and strong views on snoring, but Sasuke always broke most of the rules, happily invading Naruto's private space, curling his tail around Naruto and bringing him closer.

Naruto always wound up in Sasuke's arms, face enflamed as he relaxed into the warm embrace. He would never admit it, but it wasn't that bad. Sasuke was always touchy-feely when Naruto got back from work. He obviously missed Naruto during the day and to say Naruto didn't like that someone was waiting for him, missing him, when he got home would be a flat out lie.

So that night Naruto found himself curled up against Sasuke's chest as he read a book, Sasuke happily purring in his ear. It was quite nice. Sasuke wasn't being overly perverted and was keeping his hands – and tail – to himself. The only affection was the embrace they were in and the hand running through Naruto's soft hair.

Naruto yawned loudly as he blinked owlishly. He was getting tired. The hand in his hair vanished suddenly, only to reappear to take his book. "Eh?" Naruto looked up at Sasuke who was marking his page with his frog-decorated bookmark. "Sasuke?"

Sasuke placed the book on the bedside table before smiling down at Naruto. "Bedtime," he murmured as he clicked out the light. As Naruto tried to adjust to the sudden darkness, Sasuke slid them down into the bed. His eyes were perfectly adapted to the light, of course, and he carefully arranged them so that Naruto was practically lying on him.

"Hmm." Naruto ignored the awkwardly comfortable position and relaxed against Sasuke's chest. Allowing himself a brief moment of weakness, he snuggled against the warmth. He looked up, trying to pierce the darkness, but couldn't.

Taking advantage of Naruto's blindness Sasuke leaned in, pressing his lips to Naruto's in a soft kiss. He had been good all night, keeping his hands to himself when all he had wanted to do was molest his owner until dawn, so he decided he deserved that moment of sweetness.

Naruto growled lightly and Sasuke withdrew. Naruto dropped his head forward onto the cat's chest, blushing. "Stop that," he mumbled. "Bad kitty."

Sasuke ignored his owner, tightening his arms and tail around Naruto. Sasuke loved holding Naruto, as he always fit so perfectly into Sasuke's arms. "Good night, Naruto," Sasuke breathed. He closed his eyes and missed the slight smile that flickered onto Naruto's face.

"Good night," Naruto whispered in return. He liked having someone say 'good night' to him, as much as he liked having someone say 'good morning' and 'welcome home'.

Even though he wouldn't admit it, Naruto liked Sasuke.
