################$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Naruto: The night before had been an emotional milestone for the blond. Kiba said that the entire Inuzuka clan was his light and his way out of loneliness, and that Naruto could find another rope if he just took a leap of faith. Said fox-boy began to stir awake. "Mmmah," he yawned. When he moved, Naruto felt hands wrapped around his torso just below his chest. "Thanks for being my light Kiba," the boy spoke softly. The blond went back down and held his mate closely, and he was happy being in the presence of one he admired and loved so much. One thing Naruto eventually noticed was that they were naked and above their covers. There was no protection from what happened next; Tsume walked in as usual, and her stepson actually felt a bit embarrassed to be seen like this.
"Um, okay, not the best time," she said. "Oh, Kiba's still asleep. Going by the smell, you guys settled on just getting each other off. That's fine. It's self-pleasure that doesn't cut it, but if one of you jerked both off at the same time, it still works to nullify the heats' effects. You guys really are beautiful together…I'll…just let you two be."
"Thanks for taking me into the family Mom," Naruto spoke as she walked out the door. Tsume turned to him in curiosity as his fingers lightly traced Kiba's strong front. "Kiba said some really amazing things to me, and I owe you a lot more than you might think. If this entire clan can really accept me, then I don't have to be afraid anymore."
"Hmph," Tsume lightly snuffed with a smile. "Kiba, he's an amazing guy Naruto. Even though he's a stubborn idiot sometimes, he's sensitive to other people. He can say the most heart-felt things you'll ever hear; it's his talent. He's my son, and I'm proud of that. Maybe his father would be too if he could see Kiba now. That boy is a good friend Naruto; I'm glad you can understand that. You'll go far if you stay with him."
"Perhaps even together into the cosmos," the boy replied. Tsume didn't feel like solving such cryptic messages, and so she left Naruto to his time with a still sleeping Kiba. Perhaps it was a bad thing that she left, because the "nine day need" was beginning to work its way into Naruto's system, and with Kyuubi unconscious in his own bed, no one could warn him. "No creature can compare with you Kiba. I love you," the blond spoke before hugging his mate close and allowing his head to rest next to the Inuzuka's. Naruto couldn't feel it, but his whiskers were thickening. "I wonder my mate, do I captivate you as you do to me? Your skin is so smooth, and your figure angelic, while I am so rough. And looks aren't your only good quality. Kiba, your very nature is astounding…strong-willed, caring, and loving. I can't keep my eyes off you." As he said this, Naruto's eyes began changing, reddening. This was a much faster process, and he was already getting lustful and uncomfortable from the heat. "To have this beautiful body to myself…I hardly deserve it. But you give me love willingly…Kiba," he said in the Inuzuka's ear. His hot breath pulled a small moan and a curling up from the brunette, and little more was needed to encourage the fox. "Hnn, you wish for this too, and yet you sleep." Naruto unwrapped his arms from around Kiba, and his member was already at attention. He laid his mate flat on the bed and positioned himself above the sleeping dog-boy. A few licks to the neck made Kiba sigh in his sleep.
"N-Naruto…" he whispered. Even while unconscious, Kiba knew this feeling was from his mate?
"Hnn, smart too," Naruto commented before he softly lowered his hard organ to Kiba's soft one and began smoothly pushing them, sliding them together. "It would seem you need some convincing," the fox-boy spoke before lightly nibbling on the Inuzuka's neck. Soon Kiba was standing at attention, and his mate could sense the boy stirring. Naruto climbed on top of and straddled Kiba at the stomach, smiling a bit lustily down into the Inuzuka's face. The dog-boy slightly cracked his eyes open and stretched his arms, but then he noticed the weight constricting his movements, and his shocked eyes fell upon Naruto's transformed face. "Good morning," the blond spoke before lightly kissing his brunette.
"N-Naruto," a hesitant and slightly afraid Inuzuka heir began. "Your face, your whiskers and eyes…" Naruto pulled his hand up and traced over the soft whisker hairs. "Naruto, are you alright?"
"Yup, got a nice restful sleep, and I woke up to you," his mate replied with a smile. "Are you feeling well?"
"Um, yes and no," Kiba answered him. Naruto's smile dropped, and he tilted his head to the side in curiosity. "I feel rested and ready to go, but um…kinda uncomfortable."
"Why?" the horny and yet so highly oblivious Naruto asked. His hormones could make his awareness become doubly impaired. "Is something hurting you? Are you itchy like me?"
"No-ooo wait…you're itchy?" Kiba inquired, receiving a nod in return. Okay, maybe Naruto was experiencing his hormone rush like the brunette had yesterday, but he wasn't acting on it very much. Obviously he was erect and aroused, but his brain was still functioning.
"Ya, just a bit," the blond answered. "You still haven't answered my first question though. Why are you feeling uncomfortable?" His face was lowered a bit in front of Kiba's, but he didn't act like he wanted to kiss or do anything yet.
"Oh, um, you're kinda sitting on me, and I was worried you'd try to um…attack me?" The dog-boy was truly at a loss for a better way to say he thought the blond would try to rape him, but he knew something like that would seriously hurt Naruto's feelings and maybe even weaken their trust of each other. The fox-boy looked down and remembered that he really was sitting on Kiba. "Hey, you wanna maybe, get in a round? It's kinda early." What a lie that was. It was seven-thirty already. His blond smiled and kissed Kiba lovingly. Well, he isn't trying to just pound me like a bad steak, so I guess I should be thankful, Kiba thought as he closed his eyes and returned the kiss. It's a good thing we got to it last night, or I'd already be unable to walk. The two broke off softly, and Naruto smiled at his thankful mate. If he had a tail like perhaps Kyuubi, it would be swaying to show how happy he was. He lightly caressed the dog-boy's clan markings, but it wasn't to pleasure his partner, and Kiba was happy for that. It wasn't that he didn't want the sex, but if his lover was truly conscious and able to think beyond it, it was much more meaningful.
"Why did you think I'd attack you?" the blond asked, his look expressing curiosity only.
"Well, because yesterday, I almost did…attack you," Kiba answered. "The thing is, I didn't try to, and I know you wouldn't do it intentionally, but with it being Mating Season and all, I was kinda worried. It's fine though, because you haven't attacked me. Now come on, I know a handsome blond fox who needs some lovin'." Naruto was surprised that his lips were suddenly claimed by his beta, but instincts simply let things be as they should be. He asked his brunette for entrance, and the dance began. Kiba wrapped his arms around Naruto's back, and the blond leaned him down and supported himself with his knees so that he was no longer holding his mate down. Despite Naruto being technically high on hormones and being nigh unconscious, his actions were surprisingly controlled. "I love you Naruto," Kiba spoke after they softly pulled apart. "We've come so far, and things have really only begun."
"You're so beautiful, my mate," Naruto whispered before bringing their lips together once more. Kiba truly wanted to know if it was the word or Naruto's actions which made him feel so alive, so protected, so adored. Mates…partners…lovers, the brunette thought while concentrating on the slow and passionate kiss. Naruto says I'm his mate. Ya, I love him, and he loves me too. I belong to him, and he is mine. I wonder…is this what it means…this security and these feelings…to be mates and be together? "May I?" the blond fox asked as they panted. Kiba's soft smile and licking of his neck was a solid "yes" reply for Naruto, and so he spread Kiba's legs and brought his right hand down.
"Wait," the Inuzuka spoke quietly. "Lubricant?" His blond looked to the nightstand and gave him a small, apologetic smile and a nuzzling session before crawling over and applying a few drops to his fingers. Yup, that's Naruto for ya, a great guy, but a little slow or overeager sometimes. But that's why I love him. The blond fox was smiling as he came back. He placed two of his fingers at Kiba's entrance, but he claimed his mate's lips before slowly pressing in. His lover moaned into the kiss, and Kiba was granted entrance as he was stretched out. Naruto was moving a bit faster, a bit impatiently, but Kiba would live with it. A third finger snaked its way into the dog-boy, and he enjoyed the feeling as he held the back of Naruto's head and held them together tightly in their passionate kiss.
"Are you ready?" the whiskered boy asked after about thirty seconds. His mate nodded, and he drew his fingers out quickly. Kiba whimpered from the sudden pull out; it was a bit rougher than he was used to. Something in Naruto's mind reminded him to take the next part slowly. He softly put the Inuzuka's legs behind him and placed his weeping member at the dog-boy's entrance. "I love you…my mate," the blond spoke softly as he gently claimed Kiba's lips and began pressing in. There was little resistance met as Naruto's member steadily slid into place, but Kiba had taken him half raw. The slightly burning tingles just served to increase the Inuzuka's horniness though.
"Don't hold back Naruto," the brunette told him lustily. "Make me scream your name." This was a change, but it did not come without its benefits. Kiba was instantly thrown into a whirlwind of rough thrusting, but his mate made sure to pleasure him both my slamming his prostate and by pumping his erection with his lubed hand. The blond roughly claimed his lips, and despite this being their most animalistic session, Kiba wanted more. No matter how well Naruto's tongue worked on his mouth, no matter how hard he was slammed into, no matter how well his fox jerked him off, Kiba couldn't quite reach the edge. "Please Naruto, make me yell your name."
"Hmm, I have a resistant little mutt today," the blond spoke huskily. His voice was being influenced by Kyuubi's chakra, but the Inuzuka didn't feel frightened at all. "If you wish, then I will help you." Naruto smiled like a feral beast, and his upper canines had grown. "Release with me my mate," he spoke lustily as he leaned down next to Kiba's neck. They both felt the tightness in their stomachs, but nothing would bring them over the glorious edge. Two sharp fangs pierced Kiba's shoulder-neck junction, and his eyes widened from the sudden shock of pain, but then bliss took its place. He couldn't scream in pain, and he couldn't moan from pleasure, but he shook as Naruto's tongue licked over his broken skin while his fangs were still embedded. With this additional feeling, the dog-boy was silently sent over the edge, and he came in Naruto's hand, on the blond's chest, and on himself. With his walls locked down on the blond's dick, all it took were a couple more furious thrusts, and Naruto grunted as he licked up the small rivulets of blood and released deep inside his mate. When their afterglow vanished, Naruto collapsed on his side, and his fangs were pulled from Kiba's skin as they shrunk. Both of them were panting and barely even aware of each other's presence. Red eyes faded to blue, and the whiskers disappeared. Naruto's chakra flowed into Kiba and quickly sealed up the piercing wounds; they weren't deep, and so there were no scars, and it didn't take much time at all.
Once the soreness faded, Kiba turned and looked at his stepbrother partially out of fear, and out of shame too. He had acted so selfishly and crazily, and it wasn't even his day to have an excuse. "Naruto?" the boy whispered. Sapphire eyes rose to meet worried brown slits. "What, just happened?"
"I…don't know," the blond replied just as softly. "Are you…okay Kiba?" That question brought about a period of silence, but the brunette nodded, and Naruto took on a look of great relief. "Thank Kami." He pulled himself over to the brunette and kissed him apologetically and even made submissive whining noises. "I thought I might have really hurt you."
"Well, you didn't, and now that my memory isn't so jumbled, I can tell you that you tried very hard not to hurt me," Kiba insisted. "You were very controlled. Lusty, but controlled." Naruto smiled and nuzzled him, and Tsume opened the door again to see the evidence of their activities. The door was shut; and the two boys looked to the door in surprise. "Mom lost face. That's pretty rare. Now come here Naruto," he told his mate before softly bringing their lips together. "We got past our first really bad week change, and we know how to deal with the other ones. All that's left is your training so that you can fight Kurumaru. I'm proud of you Naruto." His stepbrother smiled genuinely and claimed his lips once more as he hugged him. "Don't worry. I know you'll beat him."
"Ya, I'll train harder than ever," Naruto spoke softly. "I'll be bleeding and bruised when it's over, but I promise I'll win. Believe it." Kiba gave his blond the feeling of thanks through his seal, and nothing felt more empowering. After a few solid minutes of emotional kissing, the boys gazed at the eight on the clock. "Oh, guess we need to get going." They were out of bed, in the shower, dressed, and off to face what challenges would come their way.
The final two and a half days passed with Naruto making improvements on his fighting skills, and Tsume deemed his strength to be a bit beyond what she had expected. "That's all we can do Naruto; the rest is up to you tomorrow. You've done well, and you'll make me proud tomorrow. This will be a historical match in the Inuzuka Clan. Now, to make sure you get a full night's rest, I'm gonna go draw you and Kiba a bath. After dinner, soak in the hot water and relax."
"I can't thank you enough for training me Mom," Naruto told her. "I really wouldn't stand a chance if you hadn't helped." He took in a deep breath. "What is Hana making?"
"I asked her to make a food with a lot of carbs for energy, so I'm guessing she's making spaghetti," Tsume replied. She wouldn't admit it, but she had actually been outsmarted a couple of times during their sparring. If it weren't for the fact that she knew she could trust Naruto, Tsume would think he really was trying to usurp her position in the clan. The two walked home, and Naruto took a small dose of Kyuubi's chakra to fix himself up and give his muscles one final charge.
"Mmm, I smell tomatoes," the blond sighed when the house came into view. "Spaghetti here I come."
"Hey little bro. Hi Mom, dinner's ready," Hana spoke. "Training go well?"
"He's ready," Tsume confirmed. "All we have to do is hope for lady luck to smile on him a bit. Naruto has the skills and the instincts, so that's all we can do now. Let's just sit down and eat though." She patted the smiling blond on the back twice before sitting down. Naruto sat down next to Kiba, and as his lips were claimed. His left hand was as well. The brunette laced there fingers across each other and gripped the blond's hand lightly. Tsume smiled as she looked at them. They had become intimate and able to share that, and it was to make the best of what time they might have left. "It's nice being able to see my own sons having such a successful relationship. I'm horribly jealous." Naruto broke softly from the kiss and smiled into his partner's eyes.
"I'm just glad that I got what time I did," the blond boy replied. He and Kiba kissed lightly one more time before their hands fell under the table and separated. "The spaghetti looks delicious Hana-Neesan." They all dug in happily.
"Anything for you two," his elder sister replied. "No training tonight, just rest and you and Kiba's thing. Right after dinner, it's upstairs for you two. I've got fresh fruit salad ready for the morning. Hey…are you listening?" Hana asked as she saw her brothers kissing once more. Tsume giggled; Naruto had purposely hung a piece of spaghetti from his mouth, and Kiba took the other end into his mouth. Just like in Lady and the Tramp, they came together by sucking on the noodle, and of course the kiss ensued. "Ugh, boys in love is one thing, boys in heat is another, boys in love and in heat is another one altogether too, but you guys are in your own league of mushy."
"Sorry Sis," Kiba said after breaking off and leaving his blond gladly smiling. "But tomorrow is a pretty big deal, and Naruto should be able to feel confident in that I won't cheat on him even if he loses." The brunette was softly smiling and staring happily into his mate's eyes the whole time as he said this. "Fruit salad for breakfast, no extra training, bath, sex, bed, anything else?"
"I guess not," the woman replied in a resigned tone. "Well, you guys managed to completely eat your food anyway, so I guess I can't complain." Tsume rinsed her plate off and then walked upstairs to draw her sons' hot bath. Naruto and Kiba put their dirty dishes in the dishwasher before going over to the couch and turning on the TV. The blond lay behind Kiba with his head on the headrest so that he could see. "Why don't you watch some House before Mom calls you up; it's an awesome show."
"Hm, I've never seen it," Naruto told her as he flipped through the channels. "Oh, it's just starting," he spoke as he reached channel fifty-five. "DUDE! His eye popped out! That's sick," the blond exclaimed ten minutes later.
"You idiot!" the obviously smart and obnoxious ass of a doctor yelled at his underling Chase. The show continued on for a while, and Naruto and Kiba played a bit during commercial brakes: ear nibbling, tickling, kissing, the works. "No, that was a hallucination…which means this is a hallucination." It went back to House in bed with the guy who shot him in the cot next to him.
"Alright boys, time to clean up," Tsume called. Naruto turned the TV off via the remote, and he kissed Kiba quickly and lightly before they went upstairs. "Have fun," she said with a smile as she passed them in the hallway. The two boys went through her room, and Kurumaru simply looked up at Naruto. They passed into the bathroom and locked the door behind them. Kiba had stepped further in towards the bath, but Naruto grabbed him by the waist with both hands and brought him back briskly, surprising the brunette to say the least.
"I'll really miss our time together," the blond spoke softly as his chin rested on the Inuzuka's shoulder. Naruto's hands were now wrapped in front of Kiba's stomach. "Since it could be our last night, I want it to mean something." He nuzzled the Inuzuka boy softly from behind. "I obsessed over you for two years, and you did the same about me, and we managed to finally tell each other our real feelings. No matter what Kurumaru says or anything some of our friends might say, I was never simply after your body. If anything, it was just a bonus. I…love you Kiba…so much." Soft tears worked their way from his eyes. "I love you so much, and it hurts to think I'll be torn from that, but what you said…what you said will protect me. This clan is my light, my future. It is simply brightest, when I can truly be with you. Be cheering for me, but don't give up your life to be loveless if Kurumaru pulls us apart. It was fun while it lasted, and it will be fun if it lasts longer, but I'm prepared for this."
"Naruto," Kiba said softly before turning and claiming his mate's lips in a loving embrace. Memories of the last couple weeks flashed through both of their minds: Naruto's first attempt at kissing Kiba back in his kitchen, the night the blond confessed about Kyuubi, Kiba's passionate kiss that night, the first long, serious kiss they had shared back in Naruto's room, their talk which had been witnessed by Tsume and Hana, the events of the forest, Naruto's near-death experience with the dogs after their first session, meeting Kyuubi both as Naruto and within him, the first time Kiba topped, and so many others. What felt like an eternity of memories really existed within the span of two weeks. The brunette softly broke off. "I love you Naruto. Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll stand by you. I won't let what could be our last night be tainted by worry and sorrow. My fox is strong and kind, and I have no regrets. Now come on, our bath's getting cold." Naruto smiled from this out of relief and happiness. He kissed his mate passionately and began unzipping his jacket. The rough fabric fell away, and a white shirt with the leaf emblem was left. The blond's jacket fell away at the command of Kiba's fingers. They drew their own shirts off, and boots were kicked away. Their bodies were relieved of brown working pants, and without lust or desirous thoughts, the black boxers each of them wore fell away too, leaving the canine lovers exposed and so indescribably in love. Kiba stepped into the water first and sat on the built-in bench. "Come on; Mom got the water just how we like it."
Naruto stepped in and sat next to him. "Never in my lifetime or in my spiritual life will I come upon another beauty like yours Kiba," he said as he admired those well-rounded and strong abdominals of his mate. No muscle was too accented, no fat remained at all, and nothing could be found as a flaw of the Inuzuka heir. The brunette could say the same for his mate, but he chose to show his feelings physically by taking the blond's head in his hands and kissing him like nothing else could matter more. "I never asked for your love, and I never claimed to deserve it, so all I can do is say thank you Kiba. My life may never be perfect, but these two weeks have come close enough. If I was to die right now, I would have no regrets. Asking for such devotion would be selfish, and finding it to even be possible is the greatest blessing I have ever received. Who else can appreciate you like I do? If someone exists, then I hope you find him or her, but I hope our time will remain special." Before the brunette could protest, his lips were claimed softly but strongly. Naruto reached out and found the shampoo. He squeezed some into his left hand before purposely tipping them both over into the water, the hand with the shampoo suspended in the air. Kiba arose with a bit of anger, but a softly smiling Naruto and a hand working on his scalp calmed his mind.
Naruto sat down, Kiba in his lap as his hands worked the soap in. "Mmmmm, Naruto, I bet every guy in the Leaf Village would beg you to do his hair if they all knew what you could do," he told the blond as he was gently massaged.
"Hnn, only for you though," Naruto told him quietly and with a smile. "Now rinse." Kiba simply fell forward, dipping his whole head in, before drawing out and shaking the excess liquid loose. He then turned and kissed his wonderful mate passionately. "It's your turn Kiba," Naruto told him before switching their positions, the blond now sitting in his brunette's lap. The blond turned around, and Kiba saw the very last remains of the bruising from his training. Kyuubi was truly an asset not to be taken for granted. The brunette began working the soap into his stepbrother's scalp, and Naruto bent his head back and relaxed. "This might be one of the things I miss the most, being able to spend time like this with you. No needing sex right this minute, just being able to be open and free with each other."
"Ya," Kiba replied softly and with a light smile. "Alright, time to rinse." Naruto submerged his head completely under the water and swished it around before coming back up. "Nice and clean."
"Nah, we both still need scrubbing," Naruto told him before turning and stealing a kiss from his lover. He grabbed a washcloth and soap and went to work on Kiba. The brunette relaxed into the touch, and he seemed to enjoy it very much, being washed and cared for. "You'll have to go back to doing it yourself if I lose."
"But you won't," Kiba told him definitively. "I have faith in you." Naruto's hands suddenly stopped moving, and the brunette eagerly returned the kiss he had freshly received. Naruto scrubbed down his nether regions and legs, and then Kiba got up and took a long dip in the water. "Now I'm all clean."
"And that just leaves me," Naruto replied. Kiba did his best to be gentle and yet firm while he worked on his lover, but he made sure to be extra careful with the seal. "I'm glad that we had the time to do stuff like this Kiba."
"Me too," the brunette replied before finishing his legs. "Wash off, and then we're done." After Naruto stood back up from the water, Kiba joined him and began kissing the blond. One hand held the back of Naruto's head, and the other made its way to the seal and began tracing it, leaving calmness and acceptance behind. "I love you Naruto."
"I love you too, Kiba," he replied. "Now come on, let's get some boxers and head to our room." Naruto lowered his arms off of Kiba and exited the tub. His brunette started the drain before getting out onto the mat and grabbing a towel. The blond fox offered to dry the boy off, and he eagerly accepted. Even as Naruto dried Kiba off, he lightly massaged his leg and stomach muscles, perhaps a final gesture of gratitude. The blond was dried off in a similar fashion, but Kiba was not an experienced masseuse. "Thanks," Naruto spoke before sharing a warm and soft kiss with his lover. The two boys slipped into their boxers and went to their room.
"Kurumaru, you will regret it if you permanently injure him," Tsume spoke evenly. "Disfigurement is out of the question, which included bones shattered beyond repair. You can use your teeth on anything but the neck and his stomach area, or his crotch. You kill him, I kill you. Apart from that, just avoid permanent damage and we're fine."
"Going by your tone and words, you don't believe he can win do you, Tsume-Sama?" the black wolf asked arrogantly. "You trained him as best you could in the amount of time you had, but he still doesn't seem anywhere near strong enough to beat me to you. I will do my best to stick to your rules, but the boy's will, that will decide how injured he becomes. Normally I like toying with my opponents, but I'll end it quickly if you want."
"Don't step on his pride too badly Kurumaru," Tsume replied quietly. "If you win and mark him, I just want to see how he would develop. Let's say Naruto shows absolutely no signs of becoming the fox at all after he turns fifteen. Would you let him and Kiba remain together after that?"
"I realize you want to see him grow up into a great man and shake the hatred of the villagers off, but I have instincts which go deeper than yours Tsume-Sama," Kurumaru told her softly. "His chakra and the fox's are merging. Eventually, he will become the Kyuubi. I will be the judge of whether or not he can be trusted. I will promise you nothing on the point of their relationship."
"He won't be able to be at your beck and call until a few days after though," Hana spoke up. "If his injuries are extensive enough, it will take a lot of time for him to completely heal. Just give him a hospital break until Tsunade finds him to be healthy enough."
"I'm no idiot," Kurumaru replied. "If I damaged him permanently that way, he'd be useless to me. I'm going to bed; I mustn't wake up with no energy to use, or I might lose." The black wolf went up the stairs, and he heard the moans as Naruto and Kiba released. "Hmph, a final round? I guess it fits." Kurumaru climbed up to his rightful spot in Tsume's bed and fell asleep.
"I love you Naruto," Kiba spoke as he held his panting mate. "When you win tomorrow, I promise I'll give you a congratulatory kiss the likes of which you'll never believe." The blond giggled a bit and smiled.
"I'll probably be too torn up to immediately kiss, but if I win, you're on," Naruto replied. He hugged Kiba close and kissed him lovingly as his seal was massaged. "Just remember, it's no guarantee that I'll win. If I lose, just promise that I won't see you crying. Mom and Hana also said that they'd bully Kurumaru until he backed off and let us be, so just congratulate me on a good fight, and try to avoid holding me tightly."
"Anything for you," the dog-boy responded. Kiba nuzzled his mate softly and kissed Naruto lightly as they lay in the bed. "Just remember that I'm rooting for ya. The whole clan is." Naruto licked his neck happily, and Kiba had to suppress his laughs; he was certainly ticklish. "I love you too, Naruto." The brunette and the blond went under the sheets and held onto each other as they peacefully fell asleep.
"It just can't be him trying to take over the clan," Tsume spoke to herself as she stood outside her boys' door. "There wouldn't be these emotions; there wouldn't be any love. Naruto, I'm so sorry." She just distantly stared at the black dog in her bed. Why won't you trust him Kurumaru? I just wish you would tell me how you know, the Inuzuka mistress thought to herself as tears slowly rolled from her eyes. Hana was already in her room with Raija and Shen, and so Tsume laboriously went to sleep.
Author Notes: Until after March 18th, I will be slightly tied for writing time, but I won't completely stop. To those who were reading my NaruKyuu fic, I will return once this fic is complete.
