Chapter Three

"Dobe, it's been five days since you last had your bath, so I want you to come into the bathroom and take a bath with me today (1), okay?"

"Meow...?"

"...dobe, I know you understand what I'm saying, so go inside the bathroom!" the raven commanded, pointing to the blue door.

The boy turned to the bathroom, pouted and turned back to the guy. "Meow!"

"Don't play the fool with me, dobe!" the male spoke, pouncing onto the half-feline instantly. "You're taking your bath today, whether you like it or not!"

A while later, with a little game of chase, a little wrestling, and a huge bite mark on the raven's upper right arm, they finally managed to get into the small cubicle inside the bathroom. The neko was currently whining and hissing as the raven tried his hardest to take off the bright orange garment that the boy had been wearing for the past five days. After sometime, he finally managed to undress the smaller male.

"Geez, why won't you stay still, dobe?" he complained, turning on the hot water as he put all the dirty clothes into the laundry basket. "...get into the tub, you usuratonkachi."

"Meow!" the half-feline hissed in retort, flinching as a drop of the hot water came in contact with his skin.

The guy rolled his eyes as he undressed himself - then, he suddenly pulled the blond into the tub with him, causing the both of them to stumble upon each other. "Serves you right for not wanting to-huh?!"

He then realised that the boy was all four on top of him, their faces merely inches from each other. He could not help but to blush about a thousand shades darker and pushed the half-feline off him - only to have the blond tumbling again, and unexpectedly, their lips crashed against each other. Coal-coloured eyes were widened to the size of a saucer, as his mind tried to process the current situation - and when he finally, he quickly pushed the other male away with a cry of surprise.

"What the fuck are you thinking, you freaking usuratonkachi?!" he was practically screaming like a girl by then, with a face as red as an overripe tomato. "Damn it, damn it, damn it! Argh! Why must this happen to me?! Damn it! Calm down, Sasuke...gah, I just can't calm down! Damn it!"

As he was currently talking - complaining - to himself, the golden-haired boy tuned himself out of the train of curses and decided to get interested with the overflowing water in the tub. He stared at the bubbling and trickling liquid, pawing(2) into the warm water curiously. Cocking his head to the side, he then dipped both his paws into the liquid before deciding to jump into the tub - and wetting Sasuke in the process.

"-what the hell-dobe?" the raven cocked a brow once he noticed the blond playing in the water happily. "...baka..."

The half-feline cocked his head and turned to the guy, purring and splashing the water with his paws playfully, signalling the male to get inside the tub as well. The taller of the two stared at the boy for a little while, before he sighed and got into the tub as well, seating himself behind the smaller one. He then started washing the boy off, massaging the tanned body as the other purred in delight, a happy mewl heard every now and again.

Later on, once they were both done bathing, the raven went to get some fresh clothes for the boy, and after roaming around his older clothes, he finally found some clothes that were quite small but would suit the half-feline. He took out a black sleeveless shirt and a pair of white shorts and put them aside before he took some other clothes for him to wear. After dressing himself, he put on the clothes for the blond - with of course, much difficulty.

"Dobe, why won't you stay still?!"

"Meow meow!"

"Geez, stay still, damn it!"

"Meow!"

"Shut up, usuratonkachi!"

"Me-ow!"

"Can't you just say anything besides 'meow'?!"

"Meow!"

"...just shut up."

"...meow."

"Argh, I hate you, dobe!"

"Meow, meow!"

Half an hour later, in front of the Hokage's room...

"Shut the fuck up, you usuratonkachi!"

"Meow!"

"Even though you can't speak, you're still so obnoxiously loud!"

"Meow!"

"Damn it, shut up!"

"Meow meow!"

"...would the two of you just shut your mouths?!"

The two of them immediately went mute after the lady Hokage had yelled to the both of them. The busty blonde glared at the both of them, snorted, rolled her eyes and finally told them to go into her office. The raven entered first, followed closely by the half-feline who just glared back at the female. As the guy took a seat on the chair across the table from the woman, the blond immediately leaped onto his lap, glaring at the lady as he settled himself on the male's hips.

"...looks like he's being protective of you, Sasuke," the blonde said.

"He's not, he's just being the dobe he is..." Sasuke had replied, but the faint blush and the hand that was stroking the boy gently obviously showed the opposite.

"Hm..." a small chuckled escaped the lady's lips. "Anyhow, we have found some information about the kunai that you handed me several days ago. Obviously, the kunai was poisoned, and surprisingly, the poison that we found on the tip of the kunai is actually a very rare poison, and it was last used in this village, or any ninja village, about twenty years ago, before the Kages decided to ban its usage since it is quite dangerous..."

"...why is that?"

"The ones that are poisoned by this poison could be killed in no time," the female's words shot the raven like a venom. "...it is quite a shock that Naruto is able to withstand the poison...but in return, he is turned into a half-feline. And, based on the information that we had gathered, if you don't find the cure for the poison in a year...Naruto will stay like that forever..."

((To be continued))
