Chapter 6: Gentle Breeze

"Kyuuuuuuuuuubi!!! Kyuubiiiiiii!!! You damn fox, where are you!?!!" Naruto shouted as he ran around in the castle's outside garden, where Kyuubi would usually lounge around. But the big fox was nowhere in sight. Naruto came to a steop in the middle of the garden, his arms crossed across his chest, while a pout was plastered on his face. "I bet that fox forgot all about it!"

Yes... It's been a week since Sasuke adn Naruto were once again reunited. Both boy had been excitedly waiting for the day they were to meet again, but now that day has come, Kyuubi was no where in sight. Naruto sighed heavily before he walked over and sat on a bench. The blonde was wearing a comfortable bright orange kimono, the type that most commoners where. Naruto had been to lazy to get all dressed up, so he settled with something simple. Of course, his father thought it was unappropriate for him to wear such a thing, but he had said that with a smile, meaning he really didn't mind. And the people in his castle and kingdom were so used to Naruto's bright cheerful attitude and taste of clothes.

"Stupid Kyuubi... He shall pay.... He went get any ramen on ramen night!" Naruto said out loud, as gentle breeze swept passed him.

"You cannot deny ramen from me, you brat!" Naruto smiled a cattish smile at the sound of Kyuubi's voice. That always did the job. Naruto turned to see an annoyed looking Kyuubi, his smile still intact.

"You haven't forgotten right?" Naruto said.

"Oh no... What am I suppose to remember?" Kyuubi said, his ear twitched slightly. Naruto stared at him in disbelief. "Of course I remember! Now hurry up and hop onto my back before I change my mind!"

Naruto didn't need to be told twice as he quickly scrambled onto Kyuubi's back.

"What's your excuse kit?" Kyuubi said as he walked through the garden. It wasn't a rare sight to see Naruto with Kyuubi, it might be little strange that the blonde was on its back, but then again no one could get close to Kyuubi but Naruto....at least not without getting a pretty bad bite.

"I told Otousan that I was taking you for a walk," Naruto said, rubbing his neck sheepishly. Kyuubi's ear twitched in annoyance.

"I'm not a house pet...." Kyuubi growled.

"Well what would you have said!?!" Naruto shouted angrily.

"That you were taking me out to hunt..." Kyuubi said bluntly, making Naruto sweatdrop.

"......I'll use that as my next excuse!" Naruto retorted. Kyuubi rolled his eyes, before he glanced around, craning his neck slightly.

"No one's around...." Kyuubi said.

"You could whisper you know!!" Naruto scowled. Kyuubi's fur bristled slightly.

"Please tell me...that all this time....you have not notticed that no one can hear me....but you.." Kyuubi growled through his teeth.

"........."

"You're hopeless."

"Shut-up!! How was I-er...you know what lets just drop it," Naruto grumbled, as Kyuubi easily jumped over a hedge, Naruto gripping his collar as he did so.

"Whatever you say, kit, just hold on tight..." Kyuubi said, jumping over the stone wall that seperated the outside garden, to the outside of the castle. Naruto immediately clung to Kyuubi's collar tightly as the fox began to run swiftly, away from the castle.

-x- -x-

Sasuke laid on the grass in the wide field of flowers, watching the clouds. Sasuke wore a silver Kimono shirt, with black pants, and his regular fore arm raven let out a sigh and closed his eyes.

"They'll be hear soon.... I can smell Kyuubi already," Kurai's deep voice said soothingly. Sasuke opened his eyes and turned his head to the right a bit, so he could see the dark panther that layed by him, his tail twitching. Sasuke had been waiting for a while. He had insisted to Kurai that he should be where ever he was suppose to be as soon as possible. Kurai unwillingly gave after a while and took Sasuke to this field. Kurai had been a bit grouchy, but Sasuke was amazed how calm he had sounded when he announced Kyuubi's soon arrival. Sasuke was starting to wonder how close Kurai and Kyuubi were.... Kurai senced Sasuke staring at him and turned to look at the raven.

"What?" Kurai asked.

"Kurai what's your relationship with Kyuubi?" Sasuke asked curiously. Kurai's fur bristled and his ears arched sideways.

"What kind of question is that?!" Kurai spat. Sasuke stared at Kurai with bored onyx eyes.

"You're mates...." It wasn't a question... Kurai's amber eyes widened for a split second before they narrowed and a low growl escaped Kurai. Yeah, his suspicions were correct. Sasuke, scowled in return. "How do you guys...."

"Sasuke!" a bright voice echoed in the air, making Sasuke sit up immediately, making the raven forget about Kurai, sparing the panther from embarrassment. Sasuke's eyes brightened when he saw Kyuubi approaching with Naruto riding on his back.

"Naruto!" Sasuke called out to the blonde as he scrambled to his feet and ran over to meet the now walking fox. As soon as Sasuke was right by Kyuubi's side, the blonde smiled brightly.

"Sasuke!" Naruto cried happily as he lundged himself at Sasuke, warpping his arms around the ravens torso.

"oof," Sasuke grunted as they both fell to the ground, but he didn't mind. The raven hugged the fox tightly, taking in the blonde's natural sweet scent. The air was soon filled with care free laughter, produced by the two boys that laid in the grass, hugging each other. After their laughter died down, they just laid there, staring at each other, both content with the other's presence. Sasuke smiled warmly at Naruto, his dark hair fell slightly in face. Naruto gently brushed the hair out the way, smiling warmly as well.

"I'm glad you came..." Sasuke mumbled, capturing Naruto's hand in his own, and pressed Naruto's palm to his cheek. The blonde's face went slightly pink, but he smiled.

"I'm glad you came too... I'm sorry if I kept you waiting," Naruto said softly. Sasuke shook his head, and pressed his lips against Naruto's palm.

"It was worth it..." Sasuke whispered, meeting the blonde's soft gaze with warm dark eyes. Niether notticed that both Kurai and Kyuubi were gone, they were too caught up in their own little world.

"What happened when you got home..." Naruto whispered, his face held worry. Sasuke chuckled.

"Like all the other times that I've failed Otousama, he threw a fit," Sasuke said with a crooked smile. "He almost wanted to kill Kurai, but I convinced him that Kurai was pretty much the reason why none of my shinobi died."

"I see," Naruto mumbled, watching Sasuke trace his hand.

"What about you?" Sasuke said, as he slowly intertwined their fingers, glad that Naruto gripped his hand rather than pulling away.

"Otousan was furious about the ambush... He didn't like the idea that it had been on my birthday, needless to say, at my party..." Naruto mumbled, staring into Sasuke's eyes. The wind blew against them gently, sweeping flower heads away with it.

"I'm sorry...."

"Don't apologize. It never was your idea to begin with..." Naruto said with a smile, wiping off the guilty scowl off of Sasuke's pale features. "With everybody's help, we were able to rebuild the castle! I mean, it's still not finish, it needs a few more touch ups, but we're getting there!"

"Naruto..." Sasuke whispered, his grip on the blonde's hand tightened slightly. Naruto stared at Sasuke's troubled face worriedly.

"Nani?" Naruto whispered.

"My father plans to attack your kingdom," Sasuke said, a pained expression swept across his face. The blonde's clear blue eyes widened slightly. "I don't know when...but I'll tell you as soon as I do. And I'll try in my power to stop my father too."

"...Arigatou Sasuke," Naruto said softly, a soft smile crossed his lips. Sasuke returned it and released Naruto's hand to gently caress the blonde's whiskered cheek. Another gentle breeze swept passed them as Sasuke traced Naruto's scars with his thumb. Naruto leaned into Sasuke's touch, closing his eyes as his lips parted. Sasuke stared at Naruto's angelic face longingly. He wanted to do something... it was nothing bad, but he was scared of the blonde's reaction. What if the blonde pushed him away and rejected him? Sasuke didn't think he could handle rejection.

"Naruto..." Sasuke whispered huskily as he pressed his forehead against Naruto's, golden locks mized with raven locks. Narto opened his eyes just slightly, so he was staring into Sasuke's pained eyes with half lidded eyes. Naruto saw so much emotion in those dark eyes of Sasuke's, and he saw every little detail...like he was able to see petals of brown in those dark pools. Naruto didn't know what was wrong with him ,but his heart was pounding like crazy and his body felt pain. It wasn't physical pain like if you get a cut or scrape your knee or anything like that...but he felt pain in his body...

The grass swayed back and forth the wind, flower heads and pollen filled the air, being carried off in the wind as I stared at the sky filled with nice white clouds.

"Ne Naruto! That one looks like a dragon! You see it?" a voice that sounded a lot like Sasuke's, but younger... I squnited, searching the sea of clouds above us and then I smiled brighlty, having spotted the long dragon shaped cloud.

"Yeah! It's long!" I said as another cloud caught my attention.

"Ne, that one looks like a bunny! Do you see it Sasuke!?" I said happily, staring at the bunny shaped cloud. It had such a fluffy tail!

Naruto's face ceased in pain, as his the pain increased. Sasuke's eyes clouded with worry at Naruto's pained expression.

"Naruto, what's wrong?" Sasuke asked worriedly. The blonde whimpered and closed his eyes shut. Sasuke then sat up and put his hand on Naruto's shoulder, panic sweeping through him. "Naruto!? Wh-what's wrong?!"

Sasuke carefully sat Naruto up, gazing into Naruto's face worriedly. The blonde opened his eyes slowly and stared at Sasuke.

"Sasuke...." Naruto said softly. Before Sasuke could ask him again what's wrong, the raven was kissed by the blonde. Sasuke's eyes widened but after a moment, his eyes softened and his lips began to move against Naruto's.

The blonde kissed Sasuke desperately, happy when Sasuke responded eagerly. Almost as soon when Sasuke responded, all the pain Naruto had been feeling, began to disappear.

"Ngh..." Naruto's face flushed pink, the pain disappeared to nothing, and pleasure took its place. He whispered Sasuke's name softly when the raven broke the kiss, both panting heavily. Sasuke stared at Naruto's flushed face with a pink face of his own. Sasuke quickly reunited their lips, kissing Naruto feverently. Naruto returned the feverent kisses just as passionately as he was gently pushed back onto the grass.

"Ah...." Naruto let a soft moan escape his swollen lips as Sasuke left a trail of kisses from his jawline to his neck. The blonde closed his eyes, pleasure enveloping him. Sasuke gently nibbled on Naruto's earlobe, earning a mewl. Sasuke's hand slowly began to untie the belt of Naruto's kimono as his lips found Naruto's.

"Sasuke...." Naruto breathed against Sasuke's lips, his hands gently pressed against Sasuke's chest. Sasuke nibbled on Naruto's bottom lip as his hand slowly slipped under Naruto's Kimono, gently touching the soft skin. Naruto's eyes widened slightly when Sasuke's cool hand rubbed his side softly, slowing moving up to brush his nipple. Naruto shut his eyes tightly, his face bright red.

"N-....N-no..." Naruto whimpered, pushing Sasuke weakly. Sasuke stopped kissing the blonde's neck, and stared at the blonde's flushed face.

"You don't want this?" Sasuke asked. Naruto shook his head.

"I-I.... I don't.... I-I'm s-sorry...." Naruto mumbled, refusing to open his eyes. Sasuke, feeling rejected, retreated his hand and climbed off of Naruto. That's when the blonde opened his eyes slowly, and glanced at Sasuke, who sat there, staring up at the sky. The blonde quickly tied his belt and fixed his kimono before he too sat up. Naruto glanced at Sasuke again, who had a blank expression.

"....I-I'm sorry...for...for giving you th-the idea...." Naruto mumbled. Sasuke turned his gaze on Naruto, and smiled.

"It's okay... I got carried away myself..." Sasuke said. Naruto bit his bottom lip before he leaned over, a soft blush was spread across his face, and kissed Sasuke lightly on the cheek. Sasuke froze and unwillingly put his hands onthe blonde's shoulders and pushed him softly away. "It's hard to resist if you keep tempting me..."

"I'm sorry..." Naruto mumbled. "I just wanted to... um.... what I'm trying to say is.... u-uh.... y-you see...."

Sasuke smiled at Naruto's flustered expression. The blonde was really cute...it really was hard to resist the urge to take him right there and then, if he kept kissing him like that.

"I... I really like you.... I really really like you Sasuke," the blonde was finally able to say in a small voice. Sasuke stared at Naruto with wide eyes, feeling his heart rise up to his throat, and it felt like someone had open a cage of butterflies in his stomache. Sasuke slowly looked away, a smile spread across his lips. Naruto stared at Sasuke with worried and hurt eyes.

"I like you too..... I like you a lot....." Sasuke said, glancing at the blonde, who stared at him with wide eyes. Sasuke turned to look at him. "I love you....Naruto.."

Naruto felt his breath hitch when Sasuke smiled so affectionately at him, making him blush deeply. Sasuke's eyes were so mesmirising, Naruto didn't notice when Sasuke leaned forwards him, until he felt the raven cool breath on his face.

"May I?" Sasuke whispered. Naruto meekly nodded and closed his eyes, kissing back gently when Sasuke closed the distance. Another gentle breeze swept through the field...

-x- -x-

"Seems like Sasuke and Naruto are getting along quite well..." A soothing voice said from the shelter of the trees, a far way from where Naruto and Sasuke sat together.

"Yeah..." a gentle, but rough voice replied. Amber eyes turned away from the field and turned to look at a young man. The guy had a slender figure, taned skin and rich red hair. He wore a regular bright red kimono, nothing classy. Piercing ruby eyes looked up to meet those amber orbs. "What?"

"What's wrong? You don't seem....cheerful..." those amber eyes blinked, worry clouding them. The guy narrowed his eyes and scowled.

"You worry too much! Just because I'm tired doesn't mean there's something wrong!" the guy retorted. Another boy stepped towards the red haired boy. He hard dark hair, tanned skin, wearing a pitch black kimono.

"Why so tired, ne Kyuubi?" the dark haired boy said in a teasing voice.

"The damn hounds wouldn't shut-up!" Kyuubi spat. "And I think it's about time we should go get Sasuke and Naruto. Come on Kurai!"

Before Kyuubi knew it, he was pinned against a tree.

"You ass!! What are you doing!?!?" Kyuubi growled, glaring up at a smirking Kurai.

"We haven't been in our human forms a while...." Kurai whispered.

"So!?!" Kyuubi said with a frown. Kurai chuckled, an amused glint in his topaz eyes.

"So... I haven't been able to do this for a while," Kurai whispered.

"WHat the he-mmph!" Kyuubi was cut off as Kurai crushed his lips against Kyuubi's. Kyuubi produced a growl from the back of his throat when his mouth was invaded by Kurai's tongue, but that growl slowly died down to small mewls. Kyuubi's face was a bright pink and was panting slightly when Kurai pulled away, smirking. Kyuubi tempted to glare at the panther, but failed miserably, only managing to pout. Kurai grinned before he captured Kyuubi's lips again, before the fox could regain focus.

"kyuuu..." Kyuubi mewled softly as Kurai's tongue gently massaged his own, gripping the back of Kurai's kimono tightly. The panther pressed his body against the fox's smaller figure, his strong arms wrapped around Kyuubi's small waist.

"K...Kurai..." Kyuubi whispered softly as the panther nibbled on the fox's soft neck, leaving several love bites. Kurai affectionately kissed the flustered red head's neck, as he slowly slipped Kyuubi's kimono off his shoulders, letting it fall down to the ground. A shiver ran down Kyuubi's exposed spine as he felt Kurai's lips continuously kiss him down from the collar bone to his small chest. Kyuubi leaned against the tree for support, not sure if his legs could hold his weight. "Ku...rai..."

Kurai glanced up at the flustered fox, his eyes closed in pleasure. It was amazing how this fierce and sharp-tongued fox could surrender so easily and willingly to him. How his voice could go from a growl to a soft pleasurable mewl. Kurai gently rubbed Kyuubi's sides, kissing Kyuubi's jaw line before he lowered his head.

"Ngh....ah......!" Kyuubi moaned as he felt Kurai's hot wet mouth enclose around his length. The fox moaned the panther's name several times, as Kurai lightly sucked on Kyuubi's cock, running his tongue up his length and back down. Kyuubi clutched a hand ful of dark hair, pushing Kurai's head down, making the panther swallow him. "Ahh! Hah! ngh K-kurai!"

Kurai slid his lips up and down Kyuubi's erection, earning moans and mewls from the fox.

"Kurai....hah I-I'm gonna c-come..." Kyuubi mewled softly. Kurai merely scrapped his teeth along the fox's length in reply. Kyuubi let out a low moan, a shiver running down his spine as his seeds spilled into Kurai's mouth, who swallowed it hapilly. Kyuubi leaned against the tree, his whole body flushed pink as he panted heavily, his eyes closed. The fox opened his hazy ruby eyes a moment later and looked down at Kurai, who was licking his lips.

"You taste great..." Kurai said with a smirk, earning a weak glare from Kyuubi. Kurai stood up from his kneeling position and pressed his body against Kyuubi's naked one.

"Don't tell me you didn't enjoy it as much as I did..." Kurai whispered, gently licking Kyuubi's neck. Kyuubi blushed and weakly pressed his hands against Kurai's clothed chest.

"Damn you...." Kyuubi whispered, earning a chuckle from Kurai.

"You look so cute when you're vulnerable..." Kurai whispered in Kyuubi's ear, earning a soft mewl. Chuckling again, Kurai picked up Kyuubi's forgotten Kimono and swftly slipped it onto Kyuubi's slender frame. "We should go take Sasuke and Naruto back home."

"Th-That's what I said, you a-ass!!! Before you had to go a-and.... kyuuuu...." Kyuubi mewled, interuped by Kurai who nibbled on the fox's earlobe as he fastened Kyuubi's belt.

"You've wanted it....and you enjoyed it....end of story..." Kurai whispered with a smirk. Kyuubi glared defiantly at Kurai, but didn't say anything. Kurai kissed Kyuubi once. "Lets go..."

Kyuubi stood there, glaring at the now retreating Kurai, who slowly, but surely turned back into a panther. Kyuubi huffed before he followed too, leaving the trees behind as a nine-tailed fox.
