Okies. I've got this chapy done! Nya! I spent a little more time writing this one than I did the last one! Not much humor or fluff in this one, so forgive! The events in this chapy needed to happen! Believe me... If you look closely, there's one part that's going to be very significant later on.
As for what Sasuke looks like... well, in my mind he's a mutt, but you readers can picture him however you want! His appearance really has no meaning, so he can be whatever type of dog (as long as it fits the size).
Warning: There really isn't much that happens in this one that needs a warning. I'll go ahead and say the OOC-ness. So, with this done, here's the chapy:
Meet Naruto's Pet
Sasuke knew it was morning. The annoying chirping of birds outside had driven him from the nice coma-like sleep he had been in. Deciding to ignore the noisy balls of feathers, he turned to face the blonde – unknowing was he that the male was awake and gazing at him affectionately.
"Oi," whispered a sweet voice into Sasuke's ear and it flinched slightly, but ignored the blonde, "wake up! It's our first morning together!"
This hurried whisper tickled Sasuke's ear so much that he brought up a lazy and unwilling paw to brush across the dog ear on top of his head; it twitched in discomfort to having air rush into it.
Letting it set in as to what Naruto said, the dog groaned noisily. Did their first morning have to be so early? There was only a little bit of light shining through Naruto's window, meaning the sun wasn't even fully up yet! Showing his displeasure to this idea, Sasuke rolled back over to face away from the male, sealing his eyes shut once again.
A pair of hands stealthily crept up on Sasuke's stomach, fingers lightly rubbing against him in hopes of a reaction. The dog's eyes snapped open and its body squirmed left and right to get away until he somehow found that he had rolled right up against Naruto's chest.
He looked up into Naruto's grinning face; the male's arms linked themselves around Sasuke and cuddled him as he sang, "Good morning!" not understanding that his pet wasn't one for mornings.
The Uchiha glowered at Naruto. Not only did he hate waking up early, but waking up to such exuberance seemed to drain him of energy. Again, he used his paws to push away from Naruto and took shelter under the covers to hopefully get more sleep.
Sleep was no longer an option, however. The blonde pouted upon seeing his dog shove him away and crawl under the blankets, probably thinking that this would prove to be some form of protective barrier to him. Naruto was about to show him who he was dealing with!
Sasuke was peaceful for about, five seconds before he felt something heavy fall on top of him. It was no surprise to him in finding that it was Naruto that had caused him to spring out from under the covers; a big mistake on his part since Naruto was in a playful mood.
He latched onto the dog and forced him on his back, holding the poor animal as it writhed under him. "So," he lowered his hand to Sasuke's stomach, continuously stroking it and watched as the dog whimpered, frozen as he was, "this is sort of your… weak spot, am I right?" and continued to caress the spot, humored that this seemed to calm his dog down, and yet, send him into a frenzy of whimpers.
I can't stand this any more!
The Uchiha lurched at Naruto, forgetting for a moment that he was in a dog's body and slipped off the bed in humiliation.
A chorus of giggles was heard and Sasuke shakily stood up, feeling that all his limbs were stiff and hard to use.
-"Damn you, Naruto!"-
This only sounded like a growl to human ears, so Naruto continued laughing and it only furthered Sasuke's irritation that he couldn't talk. Never before was he one to hold a conversation with someone and now that he was forced into a dog's body where he no longer could talk he yearned for Naruto to hear everything on his mind right now!
All of this dog business was a stab to his pride and left him humiliated! As long as it was just Naruto to know of the existence of this dog then it would be ok. Maybe he would be kept inside for the rest of his dog days.
Still fighting back the fit of giggles, Naruto spoke freely to his dog once again, "Guess what we're going to do today, boy!" and smiled childishly as he pulled himself to rest his elbows on the edge of the bed to better see his dog.
Sasuke gave Naruto the 'you've-got-to-be-kidding-me' look. Like a dog would be able to give an understandable response! But thinking about the situation he was in, he hopefully spoke in his dog tongue, -"We're going to leave the dog alone for the day and not mess with him in the slightest."-
His blonde friend jumped up on his knees, still looking down at the dog and excitedly answered, "I'm going to show everyone around here that you're my pet!"
The dog fell over on his side. Didn't he just hope for no one else to realize his existence? So much for that since Naruto was against doing what he wanted.
Sasuke didn't even fight against Naruto this time and willingly walked alongside of his companion in silence. He followed Naruto wherever he went – the Uchiha winced – like a good little doggy.
When Naruto had said 'I'm going to show everyone,' he meant everyone!
First was their old sensei, Iruka, who looked nervously at Sasuke when Naruto claimed ownership of him. The man showed concern for the blonde, saying that Sasuke could have rabies or some form of disease if Naruto had picked him off the streets and offered to get a new dog to replace Sasuke.
Naruto had jumped to his dog's defense, saying that he already made a bond with him and no other dog could take his place.
The tail protruding from Sasuke's rump wagged happily to the defense Naruto offered and Iruka sighed, knowing there was no way of swaying the male.
Then there was Sakura to deal with, shooting Sasuke's bliss down. He saw enough of the female in his human form! Hopefully Naruto wouldn't make this kind of trip a habit! He glared at Naruto and saw the wide grin on the male's face.
Don't tell me he's still all soft for her!
The pink-haired female showed little interest in 'Naruto's dog' and instead worried herself with one topic.
"You haven't seen Sasuke have you?"
Figures… thought the dog, somehow knowing that he, Sasuke, would be brought up along the way.
Naruto gave off a troubled aura – at least to the Uchiha, now able to sense some feelings from people – and folded his arms, spouting a 'no' in a disgruntled manner.
The dog sitting on the ground between the two mentally smirked. A recollection of events poured into his thinking process at this mood Naruto was giving to the subject of Sasuke. Not only a couple days before his transformation, Sasuke had made a dent in Naruto's ego by calling him a girl. At the time Naruto was attempting to word something to Sasuke, but was being slow and fidgety, making him appear feminine, so Sasuke decided to take it upon himself to tease the blonde about it. He really hadn't expected the guy to react so sensitively though and never heard what it was Naruto wanted to tell him since the male had stormed off.
It was obvious that Naruto was still sore over the whole ordeal.
Quit whining so much over it, dobe. That only proves that you act like a girl.
After a quick good-bye to Sakura – to Sasuke's relief – Naruto "introduced" his new dog to every single one of his friends, receiving close to the same reaction Iruka had, excluding Hinata, whom patted Sasuke's head and said he was a cute dog. Sasuke almost snarled at this, but Naruto agreed with her, humiliating him even more than he already was. Sasuke wasn't "cute!"
As he angrily tossed this thought around in his head he watched Hinata shyly blush and try to invite Naruto into her house for "tea" she said. Sasuke didn't know much about Hinata, but wasn't about to let her take Naruto's attention away from him and quickly pawed at the blonde's leg, whimpering sadly. He had apparently mastered the puppy-dog stare, not that he liked it since Naruto would go all mushy and say how "adorable" he was, but was thankful that it would grab the blonde's attention.
"Sorry, Hinata. Maybe another time!"
Sasuke felt a twinge of guilt when he felt the Hyuga's aura grow sorrowful and yet she still smiled to Naruto, saying that she understood and bid the two of them farewell.
She likes Naruto… I could feel it, but… she doesn't show the way she feels! How is she supposed to-?
This was hypocritical of him, so he decided to stop while he was ahead.
After a couple more visits, Sasuke grew weary of all the weird looks he received. Obviously everyone thought he had a disease and told Naruto there thoughts on it.
Nothing that his friends said seemed to bring the blonde down though, he and the dog walked away from Shikamaru's house and Naruto whispered down to Sasuke, "I don't care what they think! You're mine and no one else's, so it doesn't matter what they say!"
The dog couldn't help but feel heated at the words 'you're mine and no one else's,' and mentally blushed. He was doing that a lot lately… Then again, Naruto was… special to him; always had been, always will. The feelings he had for the blonde did nothing but grow as he spent time with him.
Even though I have to be stuck in a damn dog's body!
His tail wagged left and right when Kakashi's house caught his eye and went into a thinking process of somehow revealing his true identity to their sensei and hopefully be transformed back into his original form!
Only problem was that the masked man wasn't home.
Damn it! Why does it have to be the one time he could be useful that he's not here?
Continuing their little journey, Naruto spoke happily to the dog, saying that they were nearly done; only this house then one more. Sasuke was getting tired in his new body and was trying to decide if going to two more houses was a good or bad thing.
That's when a familiar voice rang out to the two of them upon arriving at the next house, "Hey, Naruto!"
Great, thought the raven colored dog when he was able to recognize the voice being Kiba's, a place full of dogs…
"Hey, Kiba!" Naruto quickly went on to do just as he had for everyone else, "This is my new pet!"
The other male looked down at Sasuke, listening to Naruto's tale of how he found Sasuke and not once did Kiba give the dog a strange look. He bent down and patted Sasuke on the head and seemed to be examining his entire body until Naruto was finished with the explanation.
"Looks like he's in good health for a dog you found as a stray. No wounds on him, no signs of hunger, doesn't look to be sick…"
Naruto was happy with this comment. "Glad someone doesn't think he's diseased!"
Kiba didn't divert his attention away from Sasuke as he asked, "What's his name?"
There was a pause.
The male and Sasuke turned their heads to Naruto, who looked like he was struggling with a test question.
Sasuke wasn't surprised, what with Naruto calling him mutt, dog, and boy he had assumed that the blonde hadn't given a single thought to naming him. No one else seemed to care enough to ask Naruto this question, so he never had to think about it.
This no longer held Sasuke's attention when he heard a voice from behind him shout, "S-SASUKE?"
The hair on the back of the Uchiha's neck stood up. The two males in front of him gave surprised looks as they eyed the area behind Sasuke. Someone knew his true identity, how they came to find this out was a mystery itself, but that wasn't the problem! They just decided to bring it to everyone's attention that they knew who he was!
Ok, horrible way to end, I know, but I'm curious to know who everyone would think of. Any guesses? I just want to know if it's easy to tell who it would be or not. Being me, I would never figure it out, but I'm the writer, so of course I know who it is! So, if you want to guess, go ahead! If you get it right, well, I can dedicate the next chapy to you! That's really the only thing I can do.
I hope this is going well. I love the later happenings and can't wait to get to them. That's when everything gets interesting for me! Nya!
I thank my reviewers very much! If it weren't for you then I probably wouldn't be near as motivated to write these things! Much love!
I love you all and thanks for the comments! I hope you enjoyed! More revising to come!
Review please!
Ja ne! Kitsune-chan
