Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
I'm trying to update faster, but I'm all sickly. Mehh, so once again, forgive me if this chapter's pure crap.
I saw 300! ZOMG, I loved it! A lot of nipples, though... and too many lesbians... but the guys were hott :drool:
This chapter's more light-hearted... except for the beginning.
Naruto awoke in Sasuke's bed, the thick sheets around his freezing body. There was a freshly soaked washrag on his forehead, droplets of water slipping down his forehead, soaking into his already damp hair. He inhaled deeply, wincing at the sudden jolt of pain in his stomach. He quickly moved his small hands to his tummy and kept them there, feeling as if he was about to burst.
"S-Susu Oppa," he whispered painfully. He wanted to cry, it hurt so bad. Trying to sit up, he let out a loud wail, his body lurching forward, his frame slipping off of the mattress and falling to the floor. The sound of footsteps was heard, then the door to the bedroom was slung open, Sasuke standing there.
The leopard ran to the fallen boy and lifted him carefully into his arms, "Naruto, what hurts?" he asked, worried to death. His little boy was crying, tears staining his flushed cheeks. He was biting his bottom lip to keep the sobs from escaping, "Naruto, tell me," he asked again, pulling out a box full of different tablets. Tsunade had dropped them by the house in the morning, telling the raven which ones to give to the kitten when some different body reaction happened.
The blond snuggled into his father's chest and clutched the warm shirt, pulling his knees in toward himself, "M-my stomach," he whined, voice shaking.
Opening the box, he pulled out two blue pills and gently lifted Naruto's face up, fingers under his chin. He gave the boy a fond smile and told him the tablets would make him feel better. Once the kitten opened his mouth, he placed them on the pink tongue and watched as Naruto swallowed them, tears still running from his puffy eyes.
"Come here, I'll make the pain go away," Sasuke whispered and lifted Naruto into his arms, sitting down on the edge of the bed, then craddling the small body in his arms. He lifted up the young cat's shirt and pressed both hands down on the tan stomach, transferring heat. He knew that heat on a woman's stomach helped cramps, so it should help other things, right?
Naruto whimpered and kept himself in his father's embrace, "It feels nice..." he commented quietly, keeping down an unwanted blush. He started thinking of Sakura and how just that one question caused him to almost die...
He buried his head into Sasuke's chest, suddenly feeling sad, "I don't want to die, Susu Oppa..." his words were whispered.
Sasuke's eyes widened a fraction and he sighed loudly, "You're not going to die. You're just... sick."
"If I'm sick... can I still compete in the Showcase?"
"I don't think you can--"
Naruto jerked himself away, despite the searing pain inside of him. He fell against the headboard of the large bed and his breath came out in heavy pants. He shook his head, denying Sasuke's words, "I-I want to be in the Showcase!"
"Naruto, come back--"
"No! If I'm going to die, then I want to at least be in the Showcase before it happens!" the blond cried.
"You're not going to die! Naruto, stop it before your heart rate goes up!" Sasuke growled.
I wanted to make you proud, Susu Oppa... and then I wanted to be with you... I want to make you happy, but Sakura can do that for you. So the only thing I have left that will prove my worth is the Showcase...
"Please," the kitten begged, "please, Susu Oppa..."
Sasuke sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "Fine, but come back here before you get hurt again," he pulled Naruto back into his arms and couldn't help but smile at the delighted look on the cat's face.
xXxXx
Jiraiya patted his pupil on the head after another day of successful training. It'd been a weak of non-stop work and on various occasions Naruto would pass out, but other than that, it went well. Naruto was now in shape to compete in the Showcase, and all he needed before being shown was a good grooming
"We'll have Yamato-san come over in the evening to get you cleaned and trimmed up," the mountain ape said as he and Naruto entered the kitchen for dinner. Kakashi was placing the last of the plates on the table and smiled underneath his mask, "Naruto-kun, could you go tell Sasuke and Itachi that dinner's ready?"
"Ok!" Naruto chirped and ran down the hall to Itachi's bedroom first. He knocked and heard a muffled "what?" from inside. He smiled and pushed the oak door open, the hinges creaking a bit, "Dinner's ready, Ita Oppa," he said quietly after he noticed that the older leopard was lying in bed, no shirt on his frame. He seemed to be sweating.
"I'll be out in a moment," Itachi lifted himself up, silky black hair falling over his shoulders. Naruto couldn't help a blush from spreading across his cheeks. He didn't deny that he was attracted to his father... and Itachi was so similar to him. So he thought the older of the two to be just as handsome.
"I'm sorry for waking you up," the kitten whispered, then shut the door, making his way to the library. He knew Sasuke was in there, the raven having spoken about reading up on the English langauge. He scurried into the large room and peeked around, finding the leopard sitting in a far corner, a dusty book on his lap.
Sasuke looked up when he noticed the scent of the room change from dust to rain. That was Naruto's unique smell. He closed his book and chuckled when he saw the boy stumble over the Persian rug, yelping loudly.
"I suppose dinner's ready?"
Naruto glared down at the rug, then threw Sasuke a large smile, "We're having spaghetti!"
"I'll make sure to get the parmesan cheese out for you," the raven stood up and brushed his pants off. Ruffling his son's hair and scratching a bit behind one soft ear, Sasuke smirked and walked out. Naruto stood there for a moment, then grinned and ran out, grabbing Sasuke's hands with his as they made their way to the kitchen.
"Jiraiya tells me you're ready for your first Showcase," Kakashi brought up as soon as Sasuke and Naruto took their seats at the dining table. Sasuke handed the blond the container of parmesan cheese and raised a brow as he began to smother his spaghetti with it.
"Mmm!" Naruto nodded his head, slurping up the noodles and swallowing, "only one week until I get to go on stage," he clenched his fork, excited, "I'll make your proud, Susu Oppa," he smiled toward his father, laughing cutely when his cheek was pinched by said male.
"Don't worry about making me proud, worry about Kakashi. He's the one showing you to the people."
Itachi came in after another five minutes, looking exhausted and wearing only a black robe. There was a little picture of a fish on the front; it was a gag gift from Kakashi last Christmas, but Itachi actually liked it, despite its cuteness. He sat down at the table and stifled a yawn.
Kakashi raised a brow as he munched on a meatball, "Up all night?"
Itachi didn't answer. Instead, he opted for just eating his dinner, the long noodle not looking very appealing to him. Across from him, Jiraiya smirked. Oh, he knew why Itachi was so tired. He was sure Sasuke knew, too, but Naruto was probably still a bit too slow to understand what the change in an animal's scent and exhaustion meant.
Blue eyes peered past the salad bowl, "Ita Oppa..." Naruto began, "you smell odd..."
Itachi twitched, Jiraiya chuckled, and Kakashi made an 'o' with his mouth, now understanding what was going on with his oldest pet. Then he laughed, almost choking on another juicy meatball. He swallowed a mouthful of water and coughed loudly, causing Sasuke to look at him with disgust.
"It's that time of the month, is it?" he teased.
Jiraiya gave a gruff roar of laughter, "You make it sound like he's on his period!"
Naruto watched as his older "brother" squeezed his fork tightly. He was so used to seeing Itachi as a very calm, angry, bitter, and stoic person... This knew side of him seemed so unreal. He was frustrated, looked sickly, sweaty, and just out of place in the household.
"Time of the month?" the little blond asked, curious, "does that mean he's in heat?"
Everyone at the table looked at him, surprised.
"Ita Oppa, make sure no one touches you! Aboji says if someone touches your Ochinchin, you get pregnant!" Naruto exclaimed, not wanting Itachi to have a baby he wasn't ready for.
The older leopard narrowed his eyes dangerously, scaring the little cub. Next to Naruto, Sasuke snorted in amusement.
"No one's going near my Ochinchin," Itachi snarled, finishing up his dinner.
"You see," Kakashi spoke up once he finished his meal, "Itachi's different than most males. When he goes into heat, he keeps himself away from others... unlike Sasuke who used to go out and hump all the little girls."
The raven sputtered and held down a heated blush, "I did not," he growled.
"Ahhh, that's right. There were some little boys you fornicated with, too. I remember Kaname, he was such a cute thing. Always so happy and lively. Whatever happened to him?" he tapped his chin in thought.
Deciding that his little brother needed a little more embarrassment, Itachi commented, "Otouto got him pregnant."
Snickers were shared among the table, while Naruto and Sasuke remained quiet, the raven glaring daggers of ice.
"Males can get pregnant?" Naruto asked, verious thoughts running through his head, What if... what if Susu Oppa loved me and we had a little kitten together? he grinned at the thought, but then Sakura's face appeared in his mind and he frowned.
Sasuke sat back in his chair and scowled at everyone but Naruto, "No, they can't. Itachi's being stupid."
Naruto looked down at his half-finished plate of spaghetti with a pout, slightly disappointed.

Yamato-san was a nice looking man. He did make very scary faces sometimes, but that was only when his pet wouldn't keep his paws to himself. He had a Black Tiger named Sai, and the large pet had taken an immediate liking to Naruto. He'd followed the blond everywhere and had managed to molest him twice before Sasuke had threatened him.
Naruto had to say, Sai looked a lot like Sasuke. The only thing different was Sai's fake smile and his short hair, "Ano... Yamato-san," he'd gotten used to using formal Japanese names, "when are you going to...?"
"Groom you?" the tall man chuckled, "why don't I do that right now? Kakashi said he wanted to get you registered for the Showcase by seven, so I think I should get started. Head into the bathroom while I get my bag."
Naruto nodded and ran to the large downstairs bathroom, squeeking when Sai appeared in front of him, a large smile in place, "U-um."
"So, you're actually going to enter the Showcase?" he asked.
The blond nodded slowly, stepping around him carefully.
Sai gave another fake smile, "Then you need to watch out for Gaara-san and Neji-san. They're very popular, and if you're not careful, they could keep you off of the Showcase stage for good."
"Gaara and Neji...?"
Sai laughed, "A raccoon and a panda," he responded, "They're cute in pet form, but as humans, they're vicious, so watch your step."
Naruto was confused. The same pet that had tried to molest him like the canine named Kiba had... was trying to keep him safe? Maybe he was bipolar or something...
"Why are you...?"
"Because," Sai said, "I'm going to be in the Showcase as well, and I'd like for you to stay as long as possible so we can 'bond'," he purred.
Naruto pouted, not liking the dark tiger very much.
