Recovery 21
Naruto stared at the door. She had been staring at it all day from her bed. Naruto couldn't bring herself to leave the room. She was filled with shame and anxiety.
"You can't hide in your room all day,"
Naruto frowned at the scolding tone. "Watch me," She replied bitterly, pulling her knees to her chest. "I can do this all week,"
"Kid, it's time you faced reality,"
"I don't want to. You hid all of this from me. Why should I listen to you now?" Naruto grumbled, her cheeks blushing when her stomach growled loudly. Her eyes flickered to the window in thought.
"I warned you before. Don't even think about it. You're dealing with a hunter and you won't take it lightly being hunted. Kakashi might see your escape as an attempt to leave," Kurama warned her once again, "It won't end well for the both of you,"
"Damn you all," She gritted her teeth. She felt her body freeze when Kakashi knocked on her door. Naruto wasn't sure who was on the other side of the door. It could be Beast, Kashi or Kakashi. It was hard to tell when they all had similar walking patterns that her ears couldn't tell the difference.
"Please come out and eat, Naruto,"
Naruto picked up on their tone of voice. It was still Kashi. Stepping out of bed slowly, Naruto quietly made her way towards the door and opened it up slowly. She held her breath seeing Kashi standing before her. He was hunched over, ears flat against his head and tail drooping. He was at her eye level when Naruto finally noticed a beauty spot below his lip. One she missed yesterday. "Kashi?"
"Naruto," Kashi sighed in relief, his tail slightly wagging seeing the sight of her. "I've made some sandwiches. Will you eat with me?" He could see her hesitation and whimpered, "Please?" Kashi hid his grin when she nodded and held a hand towards the blonde.
Naruto stared at his hand before looking back up at Kashi, "No, I don't want to,"
"Naruto," Kashi sighed sadly.
"I'm only going to eat," Naruto kept firm, feeling wary around Kashi as she walked around him and towards the kitchen. Seeing the lunch spread on the counter, she took her seat with a mumbled thanks before digging in. Naruto did her best to ignore Kashi when he sat beside her. "I want to speak to Beast,"
"You are speaking to Beast, Naruto," Kashi said slowly, "We're one and the same,"
"Oh," Naruto shook her head. She devoured her sandwiches in no time and downed her glass of water. Getting up quickly, she gathered her dishes and placed them in the sink. She wanted to leave immediately and stay far from Kashi. Turning around, Naruto jumped and groaned a little when her back hit the counter in surprise. Kashi was suddenly behind her.
Kashi moved forward and trapped Naruto between the sink and his body. Leaning down, he held eye contact with the nervous blonde. "Please don't avoid me," He pleaded softly.
"You used to avoid me all the time," Naruto replied bitterly.
"And I will never stop making it up to you for that," Kashi moved his face closer to hers. His nose softly and slowly ran down the side of her cheek, "My heart aches whenever you avoid me, Little Fox." He could hear her breathing change.
"I…ah-" Naruto's mind short-circuit. Kashi's touch made her skin tingle. His hot breath made her body tremble. It was pleasantly annoying for Naruto. She couldn't bring herself to reject the touch or move into it. She was stuck.
"Do you remember the night we shared a dance together?" Kashi whispered, his hands firmly pulling Naruto into a hug. "I never felt so carefree in so long." His fingers traced her body as he slowly manoeuvred her into a slow-dancing position. He pulled back to watch her reaction as he swayed them back and forth. "It was easier sharing a bed together when the intentions were different than they are today."
"What are you getting at?" Naruto whispered, allowing her body to mould against Kashi as they danced.
"I miss being with you," Kashi chuckled at her shocked reaction. He couldn't help himself and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead before resting his cheek there. "Most of the time it was accidental whenever we shared a bed but even then they were the best sleep I've had in years."
"I was helping a friend," Naruto grumbled.
He hummed but noticed the sudden change in her aura. "Don't," Kashi warned the blonde. He chuckled when she glared at him. "I know what you're thinking. You want to increase the weights on me so you can run away. Don't you remember the last time you ran away when I had these weights on? I won,"
"Ha!" Naruto huffed and looked away, "It would've been funny at least,"
"Hmm try it then,"
Naruto glared harder at the cheeky wolfman.
"Naruto, tell me, do you hate me?"
"I - what?" Naruto was caught off guard by Kashi's question. She gasped when he dipped her and held her low, forcing her to hold onto his shoulders tighter. "I don't hate you," She replied honestly, "I just - It's more of me thing. All this anxiety and stuff,"
"Call me arrogant but I do believe I contributed to you feeling that way," Kashi pulled her up and held her closer. "I'll never stop showing you that I care,"
Naruto sighed, "Kashi, can we not talk about it right now." Her eyes widened when Kashi kissed her cheek, "Kashi!"
"You looked too cute not to," Kashi shrugged his shoulders. He stopped swaying them and ended their dance. "I'll make chicken for dinner. You should get more rest,"
"I-"
Kashi shooed Naruto out of the kitchen so he could clean.
Naruto looked at the front door.
"Naruto," Kashi warned, looking over his shoulder with a tight smile. "Bed."
Naruto frowned, she felt like she had dealt with this side of Kakashi before. Nodding, Naruto moved towards her bedroom and asked, "I don't feel tired though," It was her little act of defiance before jumping back into bed. It wasn't until she was under the covers that she felt her stomach cramp, "Oh come on. Right now?" She hugged her middle and wiggled into the fetal position. "Urgh! My period is coming early,"
"It's not your period, kid. Have you already forgotten? It's that time,"
"What?!" Naruto sat up in a panic. Her eyes widened when Kashi barged into her room with a wet pan and cloth.
"Are you okay?" Kashi asked, putting the pan and cloth down on the dresser before approaching the blonde. He sat beside her as she avoided his gaze. This caused Kashi to frown, "Naruto? Tell me,"
"It's just some cramping,"
"Where?" Kashi said, stripping the blanket off her body and ignoring her scream. His hands meticulously ran up her smooth legs. Feeling her muscles almost obsessively to find the cramp.
"K-Kashi!" Naruto felt her body heat up from his touch. "S-stop it. Oh my God, please!"
"No, I'll find it and make you feel better," Kashi was serious and rubbed her thighs.
"Kashi!" Naruto yelled, reaching out to grab Kashi's face to make him look at her. "Stop. It. Now." She said firmly. Seeing his eyes dilate, Naruto knew he could sense something different with her but couldn't pinpoint it. "Listen to me. I need you to get out of my room right now. No matter what you hear you must not come in here. Do you understand me?"
"What do you mean? You're in pain," Kashi replied. He looked at every inch of Naruto's face. She was flushed and seemed to be having a fever. "Urgh!" Kashi hunched over, grabbing his head as a delicious smell wafted around him.
"Kashi?!" Naruto reached out to him worriedly.
"NO!" Kashi smacked her hand away. He could feel himself changing.
Naruto watched, wide-eyed as Kashi turned into Beast. "Beast," She called slowly. Beast looked up at her with a painful gaze. Naruto understood immediately that he knew. "You have to get out of here."
"Little Fox," Beast groaned, falling to his knees beside Naruto's bed. "Why? Why didn't you tell me?" No, he always knew. Kakashi even warned him. Beast just didn't expect it to happen so soon. Especially now with what was going on between them.
They both knew Naruto couldn't run away. It was the Beast that needed to leave. If Naruto ran the hunting instincts within Kakashi would activate and he would hunt and forcibly mark Naruto during her heat cycle.
"Chain me," Beast growled, gripping her bed until the point it broke the wooden frame. "Now! Little Fox! Bind me and never release me! Even when I beg!"
"Beast,"
"Please," Beast pleaded with her desperately. He didn't want to hurt her. He was afraid to even touch her.
Naruto could smell Beast's desire for her and tremble. Her body reacted more sensitively and moaned hearing Beast growl at her. Naruto could feel it - she was slowly becoming delusional about her heat and fever but never had it been so strong or appeared so quickly. "B-Beast," Reaching her hand towards Beast, he roared at her when her fingers touched his snout. His bulging muscles told her he was doing all he can to hold himself back. Quickly, Naruto felt chains leave her back and enclose around Beast tightly before his snout could lick her hand. Naruto threw Beast across the room and chained him against the wall.
"RAAAAH!" Beast roared out. He could feel it. His instincts rose to claim the prize before him. To claim the one denied to him for decades. "Little Fox! Fox! Fox! Fox! You're mine!" He needed to calm down. Beast rationally knew he couldn't behave this way when his darling was in trouble.
Naruto tightened her fist making the chains double up and hold onto the wild animal tighter. Her breathing became heavier as the pheromones from Beast saturated the room. It made Naruto salivate. Never, never in all her heat runs had someone smelled so addicting. "Ha~" Naruto sighed, her body weakly falling back onto her broken bed. Her entire body ached and it was so uncomfortably hot. "Kakashi," She called out softly, "You need to come back,"
"No! No! No! That's not how this works!" Beast's voice filled the room. He was half delusional and half coherent. All he could do was watch his favourite person go through one the of most excruciating moments in her life. Her heat. It was an unforgivable cycle that Kakashi was lucky to have missed.
"Then give me Kashi," Naruto wheezed. She tugged at the collar of her shirt, feeling the sweat gather on her body.
"No! Listen! I'm safest!" Beast warned her. "I have the best control,"
With a flick of her finger, Naruto sealed his mouth shut. He was too loud and wasn't giving her solutions. Opening her legs, Naruto could see the dampness gathering on her shorts and groaned. There were two ways to relieve her heat. Isolating somewhere cold or having sex.
Naruto tried getting out of bed but immediately fell to the floor. "Ha~ Ha~ Ha~" She panted hard, ignoring the chains being snapped around Beast's mouth and crawled. She couldn't hear Kurama. Usually, he would give her a few days' heads up but something was different. "K-Kurama please." She begged, "Help me move," She could feel small amounts of energy gather in her limbs and used this as her chance to drag her heavy body towards her bathroom.
Naruto eyed the bathtub greedily. With a trembling hand, she blocked the drain and immediately turned on the cold tap. "Just a little more please," She could feel Kurama trying to help her as her ears picked up Beast trying to fight against the restraints. Part of her told her to be worried but she wasn't. She trusted Beast not to hurt her if he did manage to escape her chains. Pulling at her shirt, she moaned in relief having cool air hit her feverish skin. Tossing the shirt aside, Naruto struggled to stand and resorted to ripping her shorts off. Her fingers trembled too much to undo the buttons. She was left in her underwear.
Grabbing the edges of the tub, Naruto hissed as she lowered her body and the cool water burned against her hot skin. "Ah fuck," She cursed. In all her heat cycles, Naruto only endured the heat alone once. Once was more than enough for her to never do it that way again. Resting her head against the tub, Naruto started taking in deep breaths as the cool water slowly covered her body. She wanted to cry. To sob her heart out from the overwhelming aches in her body. "I wish it was fucking snowing," She gasped. That was how she survived last time. Lying bare ass in the snow until her heat passed. She even ate the snow to cool her insides.
Naruto could feel her strength seeping away. It was unbearable that she couldn't hold the tears anymore and moved her hand towards her aching pussy. Glancing towards her bedroom, the door was wide open and she could barely see her chains around the corner. She could hear Beast still fighting against her chains and recalled the way he growled at her. Just the memory alone was enough to cause her body to heat up and her body aching in pleasure. "Ahh~" She hissed as her fingers slid over her hot pussy. Her underwear was in her way and in frustration ripped them away from her skin. She didn't care where she threw them but they needed to be away from her body. "This too," She mumbled, leaning forward to unhook her bra. She sucked in her breath whenever her straps grazed against her arms and threw them far from her. "Beast!" She called out with all her strength. Naruto could hear him stop resisting. "You…you didn't hear anything,"
"What?" Beast said from outside and stiffened when he heard her panting. The sound of water running dampened most of her sounds but Beast was able to pick it up. Her laboured gasping and sucking in air with the sloshing of water….Beast knew what she was doing. Her scent filled the room only fueled Beast's thoughts. However, Beast knew that she was in pain. His partner was in pain. He could feel it through their connection. But he couldn't help. Beast didn't trust himself to help.
Naruto never experienced such overstimulating heat before. Even when she came, her body only reached high levels and she swore the cold water was turning warm. "Ah~ ah~ ah~ it hurts," She sobbed, "It hurts so much," Naruto couldn't hear Kurama but she could feel his intentions to release Beast. "I can't," She cried, her tears burning her heated skin, "He'll hate me," Naruto could feel Kurama reassuring her. She could feel Kurama soothing her soul. "I can't, I can't, I can't," She mumbled over and over again. Naruto felt sick every time she moved her head. She could feel Kurama giving her strength and reassuring her fears. It made Naruto chuckle weakly, "If you know I'm scared then don't - urgh!" She lurched forward as her stomach cramped aggressively.
Kurama could speak to her but he tried his best to send any signal to his host. To trust him and his decisions. "Kid, please, if you can hear me let him in. This round is different because you've been marked. If you don't let your mate soothe you then you might die! Please, kid, please listen to me. You can't die here!"
Naruto couldn't hear Kurama at all but she could hear Beast roaring louder than ever. Something was wrong with him. Weakly, Naruto raised her arm over the bathtub and flicked her wrist. The chains were slowly moving towards her and retracting into her back. "Ha~ Ha~ Ha~" She huffed, her eyes blurry as she saw Beast fill her vision. "H-help me. Please, I can't do t-this," She gasped.
Beast whined. As soon as he was free, he was by her side. His mate was in terrible condition. She was in no condition to be moved and he doubted the lake would be cooler than this water. "Little Fox," He whispered gently. Cupping her face softly as worry filled his mind more than lust. He could feel himself gaining control the more he looked at her condition. He could see it in her eyes but he had to say it aloud to confirm it to himself, "Trust me and believe in me,"
Naruto struggled to breathe but she nodded.
Beast took that as her permission to help. As carefully as he could, Beast moved Naruto forward and slowly climbed into the chilling tub with her. His massive body was quick to fill the tub. He gently turned Naruto and pulled her into his chest. Her hot laboured breaths hit his strong chest as she weakly clung to him for support. His solid thighs cradled her fragile body as her damp hair covered her back. Gently, Beast used his claw to move her hair off her back so he could gently soothe her. "I'll make you feel better, Naruto," He whispered sweetly, kissing her sweaty forehead as his fingers moved towards her entrance.
Naruto felt slight relief just sharing body heat with Beast but she gasped when she felt his sharp claw spread her aching lips. "Beast," She mewled, slowly grinding her hips against his fingers. Naruto was afraid of his claws cutting her. In fact, Naruto knew even his fangs wouldn't hurt her. "More, please," She begged.
"Shhh~" Beast whispered, "We will do this slowly." His chest rumbled as her plump pussy soaked his fingers. Not even the water could hide the delicious texture of her wetness. He gripped her hip tightly when she tried to move, "Slowly, Naruto. Let's do this slowly,"
"Naruto? Ha~" She sighed, feeling herself melt deeper into his firm body. The ache deep her in pussy slowly felt relief but it wasn't enough. "You make my name sound dirty,"
"You really shouldn't tease me," Beast growled, enjoying her deep gasp as he gently entered a finger into her hot pussy. She was so hot he could almost convince himself that her temperature could melt his finger. "Especially not now. Not when you are bare before me,"
Naruto lobbed her head to the side. Her breath shuddered as he stroked her insides. She mewled desperately against Beast, "This ~ Ha~ this would go faster if you fuck me,"
"Naruto!" Beast growled, curling his finger within her and causing her to flinch against him in pleasure.
Naruto took in gulping breaths. "I c-can feel you want me too," She could feel his pulsing hard-on pressed against her stomach. It felt hotter than her body. She could make out the thickness against her stomach. The Beast was thick.
"I do," Beast confessed, easing in another finger as he kissed her forehead, "But not like this. I want to bury myself deep in your cunt and live there for the rest of my days," Beast moved his fingers faster when she clenched around them. She tried to hide her screams in his chest as her entire body convulsed against him.
Naruto tried to gather air and whined when his fingers left her. Her fever went down slightly but the ache was more prominent now that she was empty. "Beast please," She muttered, "I don't want to feel like this for days,"
"Look at me," Beast grunted, his clawed fingers gripping her cheeks so they could hold eye contact. "I can not help you when you are betrothed to another," Her pupils trembled, "If I mate with you I will mark you, Naruto. I will never leave you alone. You will be mine and have to submit to me," He felt her weakly try and move away from him but Beast held her firmly, "I know you and it will be difficult for you but I will take care of you. You need to understand I cannot mate you and walk away." He could feel her body heating up again and held her even tighter when she tried rubbing up against him. "Should you attempt to marry after I mate you I will kill anyone and everyone who will get in my way of you."
"I'm," Naruto sighed, "I'm aware of what you're talking about. I know about mating. I'm not stupid *sigh* I just wanted to ignore it,"
Beast searched her eyes intently, "Naruto?"
Although her arm was heavy, Naruto brought it up to her neck. "I've known for a while - when Pakkun freaked out after seeing my neck. I tried to deny it. I want to deny it," She held Beast's stunned gaze, "You were never going to tell me, were you? That you marked me,"
Beast was stunned but whispered, "You're not the only one afraid,"
Naruto reached up to cup his cheek, "I love you,"
"I love you too, Little Fox," He grabbed her hand and cuddle into it.
"Give him to me," Naruto requested, "Give me Kakashi,"
Beast hesitated. "There will be no going back," He warned her.
"Beast," Naruto muttered, "I never left. I didn't run away." She could see the realisation in his eyes, "Please, give me Kakashi. I want to see him. I need his help,"
Beast growled in disappointment, "It should be me," He huffed at her smile.
"You would've taken me otherwise instead of nagging." She chuckled before groaning as the overwhelming heat spread through her body. It was a struggle even looking up at him. "Next time?"
Beast grunted, "Next time, Little Fox," He kissed her forehead one more time before he closed his eyes.
Naruto watched as Beast returned and Kakashi returned to the surface. His mismatched eyes looked at her with worry. "Hey," She whispered breathlessly.
"Hey," Kakashi muttered, moving his arms around her naked body and pulling her close. "You never left,"
"It's annoying but I doubt I could ever run from you,"
Kakashi chuckled, "You did, once. Almost drove me mad." He moved a loose strand out of her face. The running water filled the bathroom but it added a layer of ease between them. "I don't want you marrying Sasuke or that Prince."
"You knew?"
"I worried about you too and went snooping in your room," Kakashi admitted. He sighed, feeling her feverish body against him. "We're avoiding the subject,"
Naruto leaned up and kissed Kakashi. Catching him off guard before pulling back and seeing his reaction. "You were wrong. I was never going to marry anyone, especially Sasuke. I always planned to turn Baa-chan down and stay in the village. Alone. I could never be with someone and put them through a marriage where they know I can't ever reciprocate their feelings. That would be torture," Naruto moved so she was straddling Kakashi's naked body - Beast had ripped his clothes during his transformation. Every movement made her muscles ache. "When did you mark me?"
Kakashi gulped. His hands were on her bare hips as she settled onto his lap. He could feel her bare lips against his hard cock. Kakashi refused to look anywhere but her eyes. He knew for a fact her breasts were on display and with the heavy aroma in the room it was difficult for him to stay put. "I- When I saw you with Sasuke in that field. When I saw you two together…I was so…I was terrified you'd forget me and - maybe I was a bit bitter than you could find comfort in Sasuke when you were sad. I was afraid I'd lose you,"
"Kakashi," Naruto moaned, enjoying the friction between them as she slowly rocked her hips. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You're not the only one in denial," Kakashi had to hold her firmly to stop. "Please, I'm going to lose it," He gasped when Naruto kissed him again. Her lips were so soft against his own with her feverish breath tickling his skin. Kakashi couldn't help it and deepened their kiss. One of his hands tangled in her wet hair as the other dug into the small of her back. He could feel her plump chest and pert nipples against his hard chest and groaned when her tongue desperately played with his. With a vicious growl, Kakashi forced himself back. "Naruto, I warned you,"
"Kakashi please," Naruto replied, "I didn't make this decision lightly."
Kakashi cursed and lifted Naruto's hips slightly. "Look at me," He demanded, waiting until her blue eyes met his, "Don't you regret this, Naruto Uzumaki. I'll never let you leave me," When she nodded, Kakashi said, "I love you,"
"I- ahh~" Naruto screamed out as Kakashi slammed her hips down over his cock. Sheathing into her in one solid movement. She could hear him groan as she struggled to breathe. His hard cock was stretching her beyond her limits. Her entire body was tensing up as her pussy eagerly pulsed around his thickened length.
"Fuck," Kakashi cursed, finally allowing his gaze to fall onto her full breasts. Her dusty pink nipples were standing firm as droplets of water fell around her breasts. She looked magnificent that his chest ripped a growl at the sight. "Prepare yourself. I'm not letting you go until I'm satisfied, Little Fox,"
AN: The next chapter will be mostly smut
