Chapter 4

The Kyuubi and the Uchiha

When Sasuke woke up the next morning, he had a strong feeling of déjà vu. Blue eyes stared deeply at his black midnight ones in awe. The grin on the demon face could easily split his face apart. Their noses were touching slightly. The human didn't move.

"Naruto."

"Yes?", the demon replied enthusiastically, his grin widening more.

"Get away from me before I kill you."

The demon just looked like a puppy that had been kicked.

"No.", the demon whined.

He was bold enough to reduce the space between them.

"Get away dobe!", the raven exasperated.

"I said I won't, teme!"

The demon had changed his frustrated tone to a more seducing one.

"Why did the Kyuubi spared me?"

"It owed one and you're too pretty to waste.", Naruto reply, breathing on the human's neck.

"I thought the Kyuubi wanted a sacrifice."

"You mean the type where the sacrifices are eaten?"

"Yes."

"I'm sure the Kyuubi never asked for that."

"The elders said otherwise."

"The elders are liars. I never said anything like that. All I said was that I wanted someone to play with me."

"Play? Wait 'I'? You're the Kyuubi?"

"Sure thing pretty boy."

"I never saw you. If I had I would had most likely killed you. How can I owe you?"

Naruto, no, the Kyuubi purred, into his neck.

"Thank you for the ramen. It was really good."

"You're the fox? You're not allowed in the village."

"It's not like I harmed anyone. No need for you to get so mad. Hey what's your name?"

"Uchiha Sasuke."

At this Naruto jumped away from him suddenly, looking at him with a blank stare, so different from the way he looked at him seconds before.

"YOU'RE AN UCHIHA!", the demon roared with disgust.

Sasuke didn't know how to react at this. Actually he didn't know how to react at any of what had happened to him the past few days. One feeling was however certain. He was afraid. Simply and plain afraid. Naruto's demonic aura was increasing, to outstanding levels. The hate and anger was now visible in his face, and red threatening eyes. Sasuke may be rash when it came to kill demons, but he was well aware of his weakened state. His pride on another hand was another story; it blinded him, telling him he should fight until the end, no matter how weak, how hurt he was.

Hell, if someone had the right to be angry was him! He hated and despised all demons. The only reason he didn't killed both Tsunade and Naruto before was because he was confused. His entire world had ended in that night! He was lost and the fact Naruto was there somehow comforted him. He had no right to be angry or hate him. He was the one who started for the Gods' sake, he was the one who called him pretty and sucked on his neck, and snuggled him and stroke his hair!

Why am I feeling this way?

When the Kyuubi grabbed his neck, he felt more helpless than a child. A child would have screamed. A child would have kicked the air in an attempt to escape or hurt its aggressor. All he did was freeze and stare at those red murderous eyes.

It hurt. It hurt the fact that he was tricked to believe he was safe, welcomed, even loved. He couldn't help remember the night he was left an orphan. The night he was left wondering the streets aimlessly, with nothing but a hole in his chest. He had been told lie, after lie, after that. Danzo was the proof of that. He had never been safe, he had never been welcomed, he had never been loved, after his family die. It had all been a very solid illusion. An illusion that had been broken.

The lack of breathing finally got to him. He closed his eyes shut, and tried to move Naruto's hands off his neck, with no success. He didn't even notice his face was wet due to the tears that fell nonstop.

"NARUTO!"

Tsunade entered the room that moment. She looked shocked and fearful. In a flashed she separated them, pushing the male demon out of the room. When the Kyuube tried to attack again, the female demon kicked him merciless in the head. While Naruto's face was deep down in the broken tatami floor, Tsunade turned to the human who was half coughing half sobbing. She reached for his neck, with glowing light blue hands, not giving a chance to the bruises to show on the pale slayer's skin.

The hazel eyed demon softened her expression, while facing the slayer demons face. Normally she wouldn't have felt more than pure tolerance towards humans. It wasn't their fault they feared demons, they had reasons to fear them too. However this blank eyed demon slayer brought her to feel compassion and also anger. The only reason she had entered the place was because she had felt Naruto's demonic power increasing. Didn't this human have the need for self-preservation? But as soon as she met the human's broken gaze she realized…

Humans were fragile beings.

No matter how strong they played to be.

Sasuke lifted his gaze slightly, staring at point she couldn't determinate. Turning her head so she could pinpoint the direction the human was focused on, she saw Naruto. He looked like he had swallowed something extremely bitter; his blue eyes were full with remorse. However she couldn't tell if that was because he had attacked the human or something else. Looking back at the human she saw him staring. They both were. Until Naruto broke the contact and left, asking Tsunade to follow him.

Oh! She would indeed follow him. And he better have a good reason for attacking the human, on her watch, and when it was obvious he felt attracted to it. After being sure the human was fine she left the room.

Naruto was in the backyard of the castle, hiding in the shadows, even though it was a beautiful last summer day.

"Did you know? Did you know he was an Uchiha?", the male demon asked hiding the spite.

"No, I didn't. His spiritual energy is dangerously low so is his life line."

"HE'S AN UCHIHA!", the kyuubi's eyes flickered red.

"SO WHAT NARUTO?", Tsunade screamed overpowering Naruto with her tone."You were the one who felt the need of saving him. You acted like an obsessed human taking care of his true love the very first time I saw you come in with the human in your arms. You were the one all over him, acting like a fox in heat. And then you try to kill him, because he was born an Uchiha? What is wrong with you?"

"I don't know.", the blonde stuttered." I should have known from the start, I mean…"At this point Naruto started to ramble. "The first time I saw him he was being an arrogant bastard! All Uchihas are... And then he's lying on the floor dying, and because I owed him one I saved him… now he's here! I gave him the perfect opportunity for him to try and take control over me!"

"Yes, of course. That makes perfect sense when he, Oh, I don't know, SAID HE WAS GOING TO MURDER YOU. AND DON'T FORGET THE FACT THAT HE DIDN'T YELL FOR HELP WHEN YOU WERE STRANGLING HIM. YES, NARUTO IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!"

"Do not mock me.", Naruto roared." His kind his smart, for all I could know it could be a part of a master plan."

"Do you know how ridiculous do you sound? I don't know that human and I really don't have a particular interest in knowing him but I know what I saw! I saw you trying to kill someone who his already dead."

"What? He was alive when I tried to strang…"

"That's not what I meant!", Tsunade cut him off rapidly."You were so blind with hatred you didn't saw him not fighting for his life. You didn't saw him begging for you just to get over it and simply snap his neck!"

Naruto was taken back at this.

"W-what?"

"You heard me Naruto. Go take a look at him if you don't believe him. And while you're at it, give him this."

The demon was hesitating outside the room. He knew he was right about the Uchiha, he had to be! Or all the crawling and begging in this world wouldn't be enough to express how sorry he was.

Naruto wished he never had entered the room.

The sight of the raven curled up in a ball, made him feel being pierced in the heart with a million needles. There was no more Uchiha there, only a really hurt Sasuke.

He didn't dare to talk; the demon only approached the human enough to drop the white kimono, leaving as fast as he came.

Tell me what tou think so far. I'll update soon in case you're wondering. Ignore any grammar detail. I do not own Naruto. And yes this chapter was short, it's what you get when I'm updating in a daily basis. Hope you enjoy. :)
