I'm really way to tired to say anything as an opening other than I really wanted some love between the boys, so I needed to get some fluff in there!
But here is a long awaited chap ;)

==x000x000x000x000x==

"I'm taking Sasuke home," Naruto barked his order, the tone indicating there was absolutely no room for any disagreement.

Itachi just stared in response at the blond alpha's blunt statement, his lips tight, not showing any emotion. Naruto and Kyuubi had met with Itachi, along with Fugaku to discuss the next steps since the vampire attack and other family situations that needed to be discussed. Needless to say, Naruto did not like the suggestion that Sasuke stay at the Uchiha manor while the Uzumaki crew headed back to their now fully functional cottage to get settled.

"Sasuke is my mate, and it is better for his and our pup's health that he be in a calm, stress free environment," Naruto added.

"Are you suggesting that Sasuke wouldn't be safe here? With his family?" Fugaku growled, his hands clenching on the table.

"Touchan–" Itachi warned, shaking his head. Naruto had narrowed his eyes at the Uchiha elder alpha, his aura vibrating with annoyance and the last thing Itachi needed was the blond to erupt into a heated argument with his father. Fugaku threw a glare in response to Itachi.

"There is no room for discussion," Naruto folded his arms across his chest. "We can keep in touch regarding the upcoming meetings regarding the vampire situation."

"And that creature you allowed to stay with your pack?" Fugaku growled.

Naruto's brows furrowed at the question. He was still uncertain about Utakata and what he had seen, but he was certain that the wolf, or vampire, or whatever he was, meant his pack no harm. "He will return with us," he said matter of factly.

"You can't be serious!" Fugaku spat. "You have no idea what he is capable of, or if can be trusted!" Fugaku continued on before Naruto could protest. "At least in our hands we can keep him subdued–"

"His name," Naruto growled, "is Utakata! He isn't some lab animal and doesn't deserve to be under lock and key! He's been through enough!"

"And what would you know of that creature's history? Perhaps there is something you are hiding?" Fugaku snarled and leaned against the table. "I will not allow my son to be deliberately put in a dangerous situation! Your ability to protect my son and pack certainly has been questionable!" Fugaku smirked when Naruto frowned but said nothing in response.

"Utakata will never be left alone, not with all the Uzumaki pack members present in the home," Kyuubi snapped, looking between Naruto and Fugaku.

"You can't confirm that," Fugaku huffed and leaned back against his chair. "Itachi, you must see my point of view, Sasuke is your family!"

Itachi pinched his lips together in a frown while looking at the three alpha. He had to agree that letting his otouto go back to the Uzumaki clan home bothered him, considering what had all just gone down not two weeks ago, but… "Touchan, I'm certain that the Uzumaki clan is perfectly capable of ensuring everyone's safety," he started to say. Fugaku snorted in response. "And to a point I agree that I am uncomfortable with Sasuke leaving—as for the wolf hybrid, I suspect that he has already developed a bond with the Uzumaki clan and that he may be more comfortable talking to them regarding any information he may have or recall." Fugaku then narrowed his eyes directly at him, apparently not pleased with what Itachi had to say.

"Utakata has indeed built a trust with our pack," Kyuubi spoke up again. "And the omega's of the pack have certainly not shown any fear towards him." He glanced over at Fugaku. "And he has not shown any type of behaviours that would make me consider him an enemy. I consider him an ally at this point." Kyuubi nodded his head firmly.

"Then I suggest a plan to keep both clans informed on a regular basis, regarding any information that is learned and discovered," Itachi added. He watched his father eye the others in the room. Itachi could sense his father's irritation and inwardly he had to chuckle. He had never really seen his father stand back from a debate such as this when the Uchiha pack was involved. His father was indeed a proud clan leader, and Itachi knew that this was a difficult for his father, considering he wasn't the only clan leader here now, and since Sasuke was now bonded— hell Itachi even had difficulties allowing the blond omega make choices for Sasuke, but he knew that Naruto was a good alpha for Sasuke. 'Now if he could only get the blond's sassy mouth to shut up once in a while,' he chuckled to himself.

Fugaku just snorted out a grunt in response, folding his arms but with his stance, he reluctantly agreed with Itachi's statement.

"I suggest we inform the others of the plan, and work out the details on ongoing communication," Itachi finished the meeting. The other alpha's said nothing, just eyeing each other as if daring the other to say something.

==x00x00x00x00x00x==

Over the course of the week, the Uzumaki pack was busy preparing their new home with all the necessary furniture and accessories that were needed. The Uchiha pack members were constantly moving back and forth between the Uchiha manor and their own newly built home, working as fast as they could to get everything perfect.

Naruto was barking out orders left right and centre, and the pack could sense the anxiousness of the alpha wanting to return to their home. But it would seem every time something was completed, something new would need to be addressed.

The Uchiha clan was very helpful during this time, even though Naruto would often growl and butt heads with the one alpha Uchiha in particular, Obito.

The Uchiha clan member seemed to be obsessed with wanting to piss Naruto off, and Itachi found himself called to settle a disagreement between the two alphas way too often. Itachi would often rub his temples when he was informed that Naruto and Obito were at it again. Today just happens to be another one of those times. A maid had scurried her way to his office, fearfully, telling Itachi that Obito and Naruto were growling and flashing their canines at the other, and of course it had something to do with Sasuke.

Sasuke was still resting in his quarters, not seeing any of the Uchiha family aside from Itachi and Deidara, the blond alpha was still as protective as ever, even more now with his otouto being pregnant. Dealing with a protective alpha was one thing, but then having to be the mediator between his alpha cousin and the blond alpha was constantly giving him headaches. He shooed the maid away, informing her to avoid that particular corridor, and that he would take care of it.

Just before he was ready to intervene between the blond and his cousin, another knock on his door had Itachi mentally sighing on who it could be now. He straightened his collar, smoothed down his clothing and adjusted the papers on his desk.

Calling for the person on the other side of the door to come in, he leaned back in his chair and folded his hands when the beta quietly made his way in. The man looked nervous but attempted to put on a confident look when Itachi invited the beta to take a seat before him.

"Thank you for seeing me Uchiha-sama," the beta man bowed his head in respect.

"And I wish to thank you for offering your services to the family during the Christmas gala, as well afterwards, when unfortunate and unexpected situations happened," Itachi responded smoothly. The beta man before him had worked at his club for a couple years now, and showed a formidable ability to handle stressful situations and he had stepped forward to offer his services while the packs were dealing with the vampires that had the Uchiha members rushing over to the Uzumaki lands to assist. The man had gained more trust with Itachi but he was curious to what the beta man was doing before him now. "Again thank you for assisting the Uchiha family and helping getting things settled, both clans are thankful and if you require assistance getting back to the city, I can certainly help you —"

"Actually Uchiha-sama, I–I wish to talk to you about —umm— some help, f-for myself and my friends," the beta man whispered quickly, cutting off Itachi.

Itachi raised a brow in interest, leaning forward slightly and placing his clasped hands on his desk. The beta man was trying his best to not appear nervous, squeezing his knees together to stop his leg from bouncing, and trying to keep his eyes forward. "I would certainly be willing to listen, Mr. Amegakure," Itachi hummed in response.

Elsewhere in the Uchiha manor, Naruto was glaring at Obito from across the dining hall while he gathered up food for his mate. Obito was returning a glare with the same intensity, but releasing a growl at the same time. The tension was so thick between the two that staff from the manor would place food on the table and scurry out of the room.

"Will you two knock it off," Deidara barked at the two men when he walked in. "You are scaring all the staff!" He placed his hands on his hips and narrowed his eyes at both the two alphas. "Don't make me take you over my knee and slap your sorry ass!" Deidara growled at the two. The two alphas immediately stopped glaring and growling, each letting out a huff before continuing what they were doing. Deidara just shook his head and mumbled, "big babies."

The door opened, and Nagato walked in with a tray, nodding at the three others in the room. "Excuse me, I'm just here to grab some food for my mate and Kimi," he whispered in a bow.

"Come, come Nagato-san, help yourself, do you need help?" Deidara immediately went to Nagato's side, smiling and leading him to the table of food.

Nagato thanked Deidara and the pair loaded up food on the tray and left the room together, Nagato bowing respectively to Naruto and Obito and Deidara huffing and glaring at the two alphas. A silent warning to them both.

Deidara talked animatedly to Nagato as they walked slowly together down a long corridor towards the back of the manor where the members of the Uzumaki pack were staying, along with Nagato and his group.

Nagato stopped suddenly, Deidara not noticing as he continued to wave his arms around, still talking and not noticing the older beta had stopped. Nagato's nose was sniffing the air, his eyes slowly looking about the corridor, his knuckles clenching the tray in his hands tightly.

Deidara finally noticed that the older beta was no longer with him, he stopped and turned to see the man tense, sniffing the air and Deidara looked about, confused. "Something wrong 'un?" Deidara whispered, taking slow careful steps towards the other, his soft blues glancing where the other did. He didn't sense anything different in the manor, so he was confused and curious about what the elder was doing.

"Something— so familiar — I haven't scented for—for—" Nagato stepped back suddenly as a door a few feet away opened and a redheaded beta wolf stepped out. Nagato's eyes widened at the sight, the tray in his hands began to wobble dangerously before Deidara quickly grabbed it before it fell to the floor.

Deidara looked to see the redheaded beta standing frozen in the corridor before the door he came out of, his eyes staring directly at Nagato, the expression of shock apparent on his face. Deidara looked back at Nagato, who hadn't moved, but the same shocked expression lay on his face as his wide eyes focused on the redheaded beta.

"Oh!" Deidara exclaimed with a grin. "Nagato-san, let me introduce you to one of our staff at the club!" He nodded his head towards the redheaded beta, "this is —"

"Yahiko—" Nagato whispered.

Deidara clipped his jaw shut, his eyes flickering between the two men, wide and questionable. "Um, you know each other?" he asked, breaking the silence that hung in the corridor.

"You're alive," Nagato whispered. "I–we thought, when we didn't hear from — we feared the worst—" Nagato's fists began to clench and he frowned. "But, now here you are, obviously doing well," Nagato's voice began to drop, an apparent bitterness breaking through his voice.

"Nagato, listen I—" Yahiko began to speak, but his words trailed off when he sensed the anger beginning to rise from the other.

"I'm sure you have lots to explain," Nagato's voice dripped with sarcasm and disgust. "Your apparent healthy glow certainly explains enough!" Nagato barked out suddenly. "You abandoned us! Not a fucking word, letter, or—or—"

"Nagato, let me expl—," Yahiko stepped forward, his hand outstretched towards the other.

"NOT, right now," Nagato barked and held up his hand, stopping the other from speaking. He shook his head, pinched his lips in a frown and took a deep breath. "Just—just not right now, please," Nagato breathed out. "I just need to — to think. I'm too upset right now." He stepped up to Deidara, taking the tray out of the blond omega's hands and giving him a nod. "Thank you for your help Deidara-san, I can take it from here." He said no more and began walking away, not looking back at the red haired beta, who watched him with sad eyes.

Deidara just watched the elder beta walk away before turning back to Yahiko. "You, have some explaining to do 'un," he spoke matter of factly. "Come with me," he added, his blue eyes narrowing at the man. He crooked his finger, beckoning the man to follow him, and he turned to walk when Yahiko nodded in agreement and began to follow.

Nagato slipped into the room where he, Konan, Kimimaro and Iwai were settled. Closing the door and placing the tray down on the table, "we need to talk," he whispered when he caught Konan's eye. She looked at her mate, a surprised look in her eyes but nodded in agreement and handed Iwai to Kimimaro. She gave Kimimaro a kiss on his crown, who smiled in response and began to talk to the small pup.

The pair moved to a far corner of the spacious room, near a large window that overlooked the winter forest scene outside. Nagato ran a hand through his hair, his lips in a frown and he turned to see the beautiful eyes of his mate when her hand was placed on his arm. She looked at him with concern and question, but waited quietly for Nagato to speak.

"Yahiko, he's here — alive, and — he appears to be well," he whispered in a growl.

Konan's dainty hands covered her mouth when she gasped, her eyes beginning to swell with moisture. "But h-how…"

Nagato shook his head, "I didn't ask."

"Nagato, there has to be some explanation," she whispered when she placed both her hands on each of Nagato's upper arms, her eyes holding his. She could feel that Nagato was angry and hurt, but there had to be a reason —

Nagato dropped his head and sighed. "I know, I know, but I was just so–so shocked, and angry," he whispered. "It wasn't a good time to talk." A warm palm with soft skin cupped his cheek and he lifted his head slowly, seeing the gentle and loving eyes of his mate. She smiled warmly at him, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.

"Regardless, I'm relieved he's okay," she breathed out then moved forward, planting her soft lips upon the other.

Nagato breathed out a sigh, feeling the love of his mate surrounding him. She was right, she was always right and so caring, she could always make him see things differently. In a more compassionate way. He gathered her up into his arms with their kiss, allowing himself and his wolf to be embraced in his mate's love, patience and devotion.

Deidara slipped the door closed after the red haired beta came into the room, Yahiko's head bowed in submission, his hands clasped before him. Deidara folded his arms across his chest, his lips tucked into a frown and he stopped before the beta.

"Uchiha-sama, I can explain," Yahiko whispered.

"I'm sure you can 'un," Deidara hummed. "Take a seat, and start from the beginning." Deidara waved his arm to the large chairs and took a seat himself. He crossed his one leg over the other and gave Yahiko a pointed look that indicated he was waiting.

Yahiko nodded his head at the Uchiha omega and bit his bottom lip. "I left them, Nagato and Konan, to go find help," he started. Deidara tilted his head, his brows raised slightly, indicating that he was indeed intrigued. "We three, Nagato, Konan and myself, grew up together, then orphaned together as pups when vampires slaughtered our village," Yahiko whispered.

Deidara's eyes widened in surprise and he leaned forward, encouraging Yahiko to continue. The blond omega provided an invited gesture for the man to sit across from him.

Yahiko's fingers fiddled with each other when he took a seat across from the blond. "I'm not going to explain how we managed to survive as pups, but we eventually managed to get a small business of our own, running a bar you see." Deidara nodded, encouraging Yahiko to continue. "But then an auction mart was set up next door, quickly and silently," he whispered. "At first we didn't know but it wasn't long before we realised it was an underground market. You know what I mean ne?" Yahiko asked Deidara who nodded sadly. "We couldn't fight, there was no way, it was either do what we were told to do, or suffer the consequences." Yahiko let out a long sigh, his eyes casted down and his hands were wringing together.

Deidara's heart went out to the beta wolf. Deidara had his own dark history. Growing up from where he was from, experiencing what he had, he understood the situation that Yahiko, Nagato and Konan must have come from.

"It came to the point that — that," Yahiko's voice quivered. He shook his head suddenly, his eyes watering but his expression turned firm, "I left to get help." He glanced up at Deidara, the pain in his face apparent from the memory. "I knew it was a risk, but I was desperate, to save us, to save them." He turned his head, his hands clenched in his lap, his body quaking slightly.

"I understand," Deidara whispered. "You did what you could to save them, your only family." The omega stood and walked towards the other, laying a palm on the beta's shoulder. "For what it's worth, I'm proud of you," Deidara whispered and squeezed the other's shoulder. "Give them time. From what I've seen of the other two, and from what you've told me, I believe they will forgive you." Deidara smiled at Yahiko who looked up in surprise from the comment. "Now, let's have some tea, we have lots to talk about!"

~a few days later~

Sasuke stood in the darkness, but he wasn't afraid. The air was warm, surrounding him in a calming scent. Familiar with the area, knowing he had been in this darkness before and what to expect, he started walking forward. There was nothing but darkness but he sensed something in the distance, something soft, gentle and full of love. The further he walked, he began to see in the distance a soft glowing light. The closer he got, the more the glow began to take shape. He quickened his step, now confident of what was waiting for him in the distance.

A green orb, glowing brightly, with small strings of electricity every so often reached out into the darkness before flickering out. Sasuke felt himself smile and walk faster towards the glowing orb. He reached out his fingers when he was close enough, feeling the flow of love and gentleness of the green orb. Small sparks of electricity danced around his fingertips, he felt as if they were tender touches of curiosity and peace.

"My precious baby," he whispered while he smiled, his hands stroking the orb gently. "How you doing love?" The small orb sparkled with shots of electricity that reached around Sasuke's body, leaving small tingles of warmth wherever they touched. Sasuke felt the overwhelming emotions of love and protection flow through him, that he didn't know he could feel but allowed it to wash over him.

Sasuke stood, enjoying the emotions and warmth that continuously washed through him while running his fingers around the sphere. The peace he felt was something he knew that he could stay embedded in forever. He gasped when there was a sudden change in the atmosphere and the small warm sphere began to change.

The orb suddenly grew twice its size, lightning frazzled out in all directions and the orb's colours shook and vibrated out. Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden change and he could feel the sharp pains coming from the green orb. When the lightning tendrils shot out, instead of warmth, now all Sasuke felt was stabs of pain and fear.

He knew he screamed when a large black dripping form pierced through the centre of the orb, green colours exploding out and dripping like blood down into the darkness. The black object transformed into a hand and remained within the centre of the now bleeding orb. Sasuke felt himself scream in terror of what was happening, he was frozen in his spot, unable to move to help, and watched helplessly when the green coloured sphere slide down off the black hand that had pierced it, its colour quickly dimming. As the orb disappeared like ashes being blown into the wind, a being now stood tall over Sasuke, golden eyes glowed maliciously at him, its fangs gleaming as a manic laugh echoed through the darkness.

Sasuke flailed about under the comforter, his heart slamming against his chest, his eyes looking about before releasing a painful cry that ripped at his heart. Once his hands were free from the binding bedding, he placed them over the pronounced swelling of his abdomen feeling gently to ensure his pup was still there.

The door crashed open, a frazzled blond alpha came rushing into the room quickly sliding up to the bed where Sasuke lay shaking, his eyes staring straight up to the ceiling.

"Sasuke! Sasuke! Talk to me! Are you alright?" Naruto was sounding frantic but trying to remain calm at the same time. He had heard Sasuke's frantic scream and sensed his distress from downstairs, where he was whipping something together for Sasuke to eat when he woke from his nap.

Naruto slipped onto the bed, seeing his mate shaking and sweating, fear emanating off his pores, the call of the panicked omega for the alpha vibrating through his skin. Naruto gently placed his palm on Sasuke's forehead in hopes to break the fear spell that Sasuke appeared to be under. "Sas, it's me, I'm here," he purred. Naruto knew that the omega was still struggling with what had happened during the vampire attack, and he promised himself that he would do whatever he could to ensure Sasuke and his omega knew just how much they meant to Naruto and his alpha.

Sasuke's eyes blinked slowly before black orbs focused on the blond alpha's warm smile and crystal blue eyes etched with concern looking right back at him.

"Are you alright?" Naruto whispered and began to run his fingers through Sasuke's hair while releasing a soothing purr. The alpha reached out to the omega, expressing its devotion and protective nature.

Sasuke licked his lips, a sad frown on his face. "Nightmare–"

Naruto quickly gave a kiss on Sasuke's forehead and burrowed under the blankets right beside his mate. The alpha's purrs were warm and soothing, Naruto pulled the black haired man into his chest, wrapping his arms protectively around him. Naruto said nothing while holding Sasuke, releasing a calming protective scent to the omega for as long as Sasuke needed.

Sasuke inhaled deeply, allowing his omega to engulf everything the blond alpha had to offer as he laid his head on Naruto's chest, listening to the soft purr and heartbeat. He looked about the room, recalling that the Uzumaki pack had finally made their way back to the rebuilt home. He had laid down in their new bed, relaxed into the new bedding, but immediately frowned at how everything was just so new. His comfy nest was no longer there, but with his current exhaustion and sense of relief of being back in his mate's home, the combination of emotions and physical exhaustion overtook him, and he settled in for a nap while Naruto assisted the pack with getting settled.

The nightmares were plaguing him often since he woke after the vampire attack, and though his wounds were healed, the mental stress of the events still lingered. Tsunade had mentioned that he may struggle with visions, nightmares, triggers and offered suggestions on how to alleviate the stress. His omega was still offering support, but a lingering feeling of guilt still weighed heavy on his mind. The flashback visions of how he almost managed to end his pup's life from fear left him at times feeling useless, powerless and not worthy. He shivered involuntarily at the negative thoughts before forcing himself to relax into Naruto's embrace. Before returning to the Uzumaki home, he had firmly decided that he would not allow the omega force within him riddle him with feelings of being unworthy for the alpha. He had never let the omega rule his thoughts before, and for fucks sakes he wasn't going to start now. Even though he had finally accepted his omega status, like hell he would let himself be controlled.

Naruto felt the uncertainty coming from Sasuke and he nuzzled his cheek against Sasuke's porcelain skin. "Sas," he whispered. "I'm not going anywhere." He tried his best to console the omega, verbally and mentally. When no response came from the raven haired omega, he continued. "The pack is here just as much as I am. I know you said soon, but…" he trailed off, thinking about his next words carefully. "I think it would be beneficial if we told the pack sooner than later about our pup." Naruto gnawed on his bottom lip for a moment, worried on how Sasuke may react to that suggestion.

Sasuke clenched his fingers briefly at the words, feeling his omega growl in the dark areas of his mind about keeping their pup safe, not liking the idea of other wolves knowing of his condition. Sasuke pinched his lips, trying to overcome his omega's natural instincts of staying secluded from the rest of the pack. Naruto continued to release his purr and rub his cheek along his hair, not saying any more. Sasuke had to admit and remind himself he was appreciative of Naruto's patience. He continued to go over the conditions of what had happened recently, the protection of the Uzumaki pack and others around him, all of them, including his family, taking care of him and the pup that lay nestled safely within him still. Not to mention, Naruto had been nothing but the most protective, strong, loving alpha he is, and Sasuke needed to focus on that the most.

Pinching his lips into a hard line and taking a breath, "yes, that's a good idea." He could feel Naruto's muscles tighten slightly at his confession and he suddenly felt nervous and concerned about the alpha's reaction. Though he knew he shouldn't, the omega's instincts slamming into his mental walls was difficult to suppress at times.

"Thank you Sasuke," Naruto relaxed and began to nuzzle Sasuke's neck. "I'm so happy you decided to do this." He slid his one hand down Sasuke's smooth chest and rubbed his warm palm gently over Sasuke's small swollen bump. "Everyone will be so happy, believe it," his voice was deep and husky as he began to push kisses on various areas around his mate's temples, ears, cheeks, slowly making his way down.

Sasuke hummed appreciatively at the attention the alpha was giving him and leaned away to give the alpha more free reign over his skin. Even his omega relaxed and began to release its own scents and sounds of appreciation. This of course, only spurred Naruto on who had nuzzled the space between Sasuke's collar and neck. Sasuke shivering from the touch left him excited as the alpha then started to trail his tongue across Sasuke's nipple, dipping, suckling and tasting that caused goosebumps to rise on Sasuke's skin.

Naruto's palm never stopped gently rubbing Sasuke's small swollen stomach while Naruto continued tasting Sasuke's skin. Sasuke couldn't stop a small groan escaping his lips, his fingers lacing and twisting into the thick blond hair, scratching at the scalp and giving the alpha subtle demands. The lusty growl that came from Naruto's chest went straight to Sasuke's cock and it began to twitch and swell at the ready. Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hair and pushed at the alpha's head, silently telling the alpha where he wanted those warm tantalising lips to go.

Naruto chuckled at the feel of Sasuke's fingers pushing on his scalp. "What do you want my omega? I'm here to serve only you," Naruto hummed out, not stopping the assault of his lips kissing every inch of skin he could find.

"Ngghhh… Naru," Sasuke groaned while arching his back and tugging on the alpha's hair. His hips jerked when Naruto's teeth brushed at soft skin just above his groin. The dominating sensations washing through his body had heightened to a point that had his mind swimming in most amazing powerful erotic feelings.

Naruto placed his large hands on Sasuke's thighs, forcing them to spread and stay on the bed. He dipped his nose next to Sasuke's sex, inhaling deeply Sasuke's strong earthy and subtle apple scent that had his toes curling. "You smell delicious as always my love," Naruto hummed and Sasuke moaned out again, his hips bucking slightly. He could feel Sasuke's cock twitching into his cheek, could smell his sweet slick starting to form in his opening and he wanted nothing more than to ravish his mate. But— "use your words baby, what does my omega want?" Naruto trailed his tongue along the side of Sasuke's thigh, pleased when he could feel Sasuke's legs quiver under his touch.

Sasuke's fists gripped Naruto's hair tightly and the omega growled out a low robust voice, "take me into your mouth, now." He tugged again on the alpha's hair, expressing his dominant request.

Naruto opened his eyes from the zing of excitement of being dominated from that simple and sudden hair tug, the raven's husky sounding voice, 'oh fuck,' was all Naruto could think. The raven's marble skin was flushed red across his cheeks and nose. His skin glowed a lighter shade down his neck and hooded red eyes were focused directly on him. Naruto smirked and licked his lips while staring back at his omega. His powerful, strong, most gorgeous, sexy, and simply amazing omega. "As you command," he whispered, his eyes wide and staring straight up at his mate's red eyes before taking the hardened cock deeply into his mouth.

Twirling his tongue around in his mouth and around the hardened muscle, tasting every inch of the omega's cock had Naruto rolling his eyes up and humming out a delightful sound. His alpha spurred his sexual desires, while his tongue dipped into the slit, tasting the precum that began to emerge. The alpha snarled in excitement when his hair was painfully tugged when Naruto's teeth would brush against the ridge of the omega's cock head. Sasuke would purr and groan as the blond bobbed his head slowly, suckling with each movement while Naruto slipped two fingers into the slickened omega entrance.

Sasuke's toes curled, his knees shook with the pleasure building from the heated mouth of the alpha. The thick fingers in his slicked hole pumped and stretched him slowly, tantalisingly, and the omega rolled about enjoying the sexual attention. "Ngh, Naru, faster," Sasuke moaned, his eyes squinted shut as the warmth radiated through his body.

Naruto chuckled, giving a hard suck with his lips before slipping in another finger, pumping and sliding his fingers along those rigid sensitive walls within his mate. The omega was shivering with ecstasy, and Naruto massaged the omega's tightened scrotum, with each long suck of his mouth. The omega's body twisted suddenly and Naruto felt his hair being grasped, pulled tight but he relaxed and allowed Sasuke to manipulate his head any way he desired. He continued to finger the omega's hole when he could feel his mate's velvet walls tremble and clench, his scrotum sack tightening up and ready to cum.

"Ah fuck, ah fuck, yessss…" Sasuke howled while he forced the alpha's head up and down on his cock. "J-Just like that, k-keep going, almost—" The omega's hips thrust up into the tight lipped heat of the alpha's mouth, his hole clenched around the fingers that were probing him just right and Sasuke clenched blond hair tightly, forcing the blond's head down, nose pushed into his neatly trimmed nest of pubes and burying his cock deep into the back of the alpha's throat.

Naruto's throat constricted and swallowed around his mate's cock, inhaling the rich scent of his mate while his nose was held at the base of the omega's cock. He continued pumping his fingers into his omega's heat, he could feel Sasuke's body quivering while he unloaded into his mouth, the thick warm cum washing down the back of his throat. His alpha howled with delight, tasting his omega's milk and feeling the orgasmic bliss of his mate. Both Naruto and his alpha were feeling incredibly proud that he could bring heated desires and pleasure to the raven haired man.

Lapping up the omega's cum, Naruto twirled his tongue around the softening shaft of his mate and slowly withdrew his fingers when Sasuke finally released his hair. He quickly slipped his fingers into his mouth, humming deeply in appreciation of the taste of his mate's slick. It was sweet, honey and cinnamon tasting and as he rolled his eyes savouring the taste while he slowly pumped his own painful erection to alleviate the pressure. When he finally glanced down at his mate, Sasuke's porcelain skin was glowing beautifully from post orgasm, his breaths panting between plump red lips, his closed eyes showing off his long dark eyelashes resting against his light marble smooth skinned cheeks. Tracing his fingers slowly up one of Sasuke's creamy thighs, he pulled the leg gently up and against his chest. "May I my omega?" Naruto whispered while he planted tender kisses against Sasuke's ankle. He wouldn't just assume Sasuke wanted to be intimate, after everything he had just been through. The omega needed to be dominant, and Naruto was more than willing to be Sasuke's submissive for any amount of time, forever even.

Sasuke licked his lips, nodded his head and peered at his alpha from under his eyelashes. His omega vibrated with excitement, wanting the strong and vibrant alpha to mount him. Sasuke shifted his hips, presenting his ready and heated hole to the alpha and hummed out an invitation.

Naruto gnawed on his bottom lip, before grasping the base of his cock and slowly pushing his deep red swollen head past the tight rim of his mate. He could see Sasuke watching him closely, keeping his lips moist with every run of that pink tongue across those lips. The heated cavern of his mate was hot, drenched with slick and pulled his cock in easily.

Naruto hissed out a pleasureable sound, "fuck Sas, my mate, my love, you are always so hot and warm around me, pulling me in — ahhhh." He planted kisses on the omega's ankle again while running his hands up and down Sasuke's one leg that was against his chest. The alpha's eyes glazed over, watching his thick cock, gleaming with slick, slide in and out of his omega's drenched hole with his slow passionate thrusts. "My cock looks so good, covered in your scent, your honey, sliding in and out of your hole baby," the alpha hummed. He shifted slightly so the head of his cock rubbed Sasuke's velvet walls at another angle.

"MMMmmm oh shit, yesss," Sasuke hummed, biting his bottom lip and arching his back slightly. "Just like that alpha—" His skin twitched from the pleasurable vibrations the alpha's cock caused as it rubbed deep within him.

Naruto gently pushed Sasuke's leg up to rest on his shoulder while the alpha leaned over his omega, adjusting so his long languid thrusts could reach deep within the raven, hitting all those sensitive spots. His eyes watched Sasuke's expressions carefully while his hips flicked and jerked his cock over and over in the omega's tight velvet cavern. "Fuck Sasuke, you're so fucking amazing, so beautiful," Naruto panted out with each controlled thrust, "I'm gonna fill you up, over and over, make you full of my pups, all the time," he growled, dropping his forehead to Sasuke's chest, shaking slightly to keep his rhythm steady and unhurried. His hips continued to drag out his thrusts slowly, not wanting to hurt the omega and work on bringing Sasuke to another orgasm. "Fuck I love you, so fucking much," he whimpered into Sasuke's chest.

Sasuke rolled his hips, urging the alpha to move faster and growled when the alpha would not comply. He dragged his claws up the alpha's toned and muscled back, "nnnggghh, h-harder Naru—".

Naruto nipped at Sasuke's nipples, causing the omega to hiss out and shiver, successfully cutting off the omega's commands to go harder. But who was he to deny his mate? He tongued the glistening nub, giving it a gentle kiss, before quickening his pace and giving his omega what he wanted. "Yes my omega, I do as you command," he grunted out with his heavier thrusts.

"Yes, yes, fuck, YES!" Sasuke howled, grabbing a hold of the alpha's thick thighs while the thick alpha cock began to plough into him harder. The slick sounds of their skin slapping bounced off the walls, their combined breathing and growling of delights lingered and danced around them before Sasuke arched and clawed at his mates back as he released his milk between their bodies.

The alpha snarled in pleasure seeing and feeling his omega in orgasmic bliss, before the alpha latched his teeth onto the omega's shoulder. Giving a few long quickened thrusts deep against his omega, his knot inflated fully, successfully latching the two mates together while the alpha's thick seed spurt out into the omega's already filled womb.

Naruto licked and kissed Sasuke's sweat soaked glowing skin, humming his appreciation, taking care to not put any weight on his mate. Shifting slightly, he manoeuvred the two so Sasuke's back was pushed against his chest. He continued to plant soft kisses all around Sasuke's shoulders and neck, purring loudly while his knot continued to pulse out vibrations of pleasure with each squeeze the omega provided around his cock. He lay his one hand upon the slight swelled pregnant stomach, brushing his fingertips gently around it.

Sasuke rubbed his fingers up and down Naruto's thick arm that held him close, feeling content and protected again, a difficult feeling for him to find ever since the vampire situation. His skin shivered once in a while, causing the alpha to moan quietly with each squeeze on the knot that was deeply embedded within him. Hearing and feeling the bliss from the alpha had his omega preening at the effects, instead of hiding in guilt.

"Ah shit," Naruto murmured suddenly. Sasuke tilted his head slightly at the surprise outburst. The alpha chuckled, "I forgot your snack downstairs in the kitchen." He planted more kisses on the smooth skin of his mate's shoulder. "Sorry about that."

"Hn, you can get it when we go down later and tell the pack of our news," Sasuke hummed in response, closing his eyes and enjoying the serene moment they were having. He would only close his eyes for a little bit—

Naruto nuzzled his nose into his mate's neck when he realised the raven's breathing had settled into long drawn breaths, signalling he had drifted off. Smiling, Naruto rested and inhaled the scent of his pregnant mate for a little while longer.

~ later ~

"Holy shit I knew it!" Sakura exclaimed and clapped her hands together excitedly, a large smile on her lips.

The pack was sitting in one of the main rooms, gathered and sitting in the sofas and chairs, when Naruto told them the news of his expecting omega.

"How's he feeling?" Hinata asked, since Sasuke didn't come downstairs with Naruto.

"Extremely tired. A lot has happened, and well baa-chan said he should take it easy," Naruto hummed and ran a hand through his hair. "He's napping right now, and agreed to finally let you guys all know!" He beamed a smile at the pack members.

"Oh my god, we need to plan a baby shower!" Sakura said dreamily. "I don't know exactly what colours, and oh, do we know the sex yet?"

"Uhhh Sakura," Naruto started to speak but the beta wolf wasn't listening.

"And I can order food from—" Sakura continued on, not hearing Naruto.

"Wow, well done brother," Kyuubi whispered while Sakura continued to ramble on to herself, slapping Naruto's leg in the process. "When can we expect the little Uzumaki cub?"

Naruto started animatedly talking to Kyuubi about the pup, Hinata and Kiba adding their questions into the conversation while Sakura continued to babble in her own little dream world. Konan, Nagato and Kimimaro joined the group a few moments later, Konan carrying Iwai in her arms. Naruto naturally informed the other wolves of Sasuke expecting, his arms swinging around with each excitable expression.

And this is where Sasuke found the pack, all still chatting away with each other, or in small groups with Naruto beaming in happiness in the centre. Sasuke raised a brow in surprise, crossing his arms, pulling his small fuzzy soft and warm throw over his shoulders tighter and leaned against the door frame that led into the room — and watched. It wasn't until his stomach growled loudly did anyone notice that Sasuke was standing there.

"Sasuke!" Naruto exclaimed and immediately jumped up, rushing to his mate's side. "Oh my gosh, I–I– forgive me! I'm so stupid! I forgot your lunch!" Naruto stammered out, gently hugging Sasuke and kissing the crown of his head. A crack on Naruto's arm was heard and the wail of Naruto in response. Sakura had immediately disciplined the blond alpha with a fist to his arm, causing the alpha to whine in protest but still hold Sasuke carefully.

Kyuubi chuckled at the scene, watching as Sakura gently probed Sasuke to follow her to the kitchen, Naruto protesting about her abuse, Hinata and Kiba following after them. Konan kissed Nagato on the cheek, giving him a knowing nod and followed the Uzumaki pack into the kitchen with Iwai on her shoulder who was grasping at her hair and looking around with wide eyes.

Kimimaro slid in closer to Kyuubi, resting his head on the redheaded alpha's shoulder and letting out a long content sigh. Kyuubi purred loudly and nuzzled the omega's hair briefly. The young omega had healed but still struggled with some nightmares from the vampire attacks. The young omega had fought so valiantly and fiercely that showed just how much he cared about the wolves around him. Kyuubi then glanced over at the elder beta man, Nagato. "You look as if you have something on your mind old man," Kyuubi questioned and gave a teasing smile at Nagato.

Nagato cleared his throat and gave a pointed stare at the red haired alpha. "As a matter of fact I do," he added. Kyuubi said nothing as he rubbed Kimimaro's back tenderly, waiting for Nagato to speak. "Do you recall when I told you about our pack brother who had left?"

Kyuubi nodded, remembering when he had first met Nagato and Konan at their bar all those months ago.

~ flashback ~

Kyuubi chewed his food and nodded at the man. He could tell Nagato was a beta just by his scent, which in turn he knew Nagato could tell what he was as well. The training he brought up to Nagato was what a lower alpha will go through when in a pack with its own higher alpha, such as the Uzumaki pack. When a lower alpha, usually younger, was fit enough to head out and start his or her own pack, instincts had the lead alpha chase the lower alpha out. Sometimes it was quick and easy, other times it could lead to a battle and in the worst case scenario, one was dead. Centuries of pack instincts are hard to overcome sometimes but Kyuubi knew that Naruto would never ask or force Kyuubi to leave the pack, but he knew there were still some packs that carried out that tradition.

Kyuubi relaxed into conversation with Nagato for the next while. He learned that Nagato's pack consisted of himself, Konan and another beta named Yahiko and they all owned this bar. Nagato frowned when he spoke of Yahiko. He explained that Yahiko was off doing his own thing after they had a huge argument regarding the bar and their small pack. Apparently Nagato couldn't agree with what Yahiko was suggesting and Yahiko stormed off, going on about how it was up to him. Nagato and Konan hadn't seen or heard from him since. They couldn't afford to leave the bar and go look for him, so they patiently waited for him to return. Kyuubi then patted the older beta's shoulder to show he sympathised.

~ end flashback ~

Yahiko was never brought up again and Kyuubi never questioned it. There were much more personal and dangerous things going on at the time he stayed with Nagato and Konan.

Nagato let out a long sigh and clasped his hands together. "Yahiko has returned," he whispered. "He apparently had been working with the Uchiha clan at their club for the past few years and he was at the Uchiha manor while we were all there."

Kyuubi continued to remain silent, knowing that Nagato would tell him what he felt he needed to. He would admit that he was surprised that their long lost pack member was at the Uchiha manor and they didn't know about it until recently. He continued to rub Kimimaro's back, who seemed to have drifted asleep against him. The alpha purred mentally at the omega that was snuggled beside him and Kyuubi couldn't help feeling protective when Kimimaro's omega responded positively to his alpha's attention.

"I–I don't know where he had been, I didn't give him a chance to talk. I was just so – angry, when I saw him, looking just fine." Nagato clenched his fists but took another few breaths to calm himself. He then glanced at Kyuubi, "I wanted to let you know that Konan and I are not backing out of our request to be a part of your pack, should you choose us, even though Yahiko has returned." Nagato gave Kyuubi a soft gentle smile.

Kyuubi bit his bottom lip, the thought of having his own pack — he hadn't thought about it since Nagato brought up the first time, but his inner alpha — was absolutely preening at the thought of having his own pack.

"To be honest, I hadn't really thought about it, much," Kyuubi admitted, giving the elder beta an apologetic look. Nagato just nodded and smiled softly in response. "But, with Yahiko, did you want — well, what would he… do you think that he … and what about Konan? What are her thoughts?" Kyuubi mentally slapped himself for sounding like an idiot and turned to look down at the snoozing omega in his lap. Seeing and sensing the calmness of the omega calmed him immediately and he couldn't help but smile.

"I don't know about Yahiko, yet, Kyuubi-kun," Nagato sighed. "Konan and I will discuss it and talk to him a little later. He did want to explain, but I just need time."

Kyuubi nodded his head in agreement at the explanation.

"Again, there is no need for an answer right at this moment Kyuubi-kun," Nagato smiled. "I'm going to see the others." He stood up, giving Kyuubi another smile and wandered towards the kitchen where the rest of the pack were located.

Kyuubi slouched his shoulders and leaned his head back against the sofa. "My own pack…" he whispered. His alpha again purred and howled in excitement at the thought of being the alpha that he was, but the uncertainty was still a dark shadow that reared its head when the possible thought of him being a leader to others, being responsible for others — could he really do such a thing?

The smaller omega wiggled slightly in his lap, breaking Kyuubi's thoughts and he smiled, watching Kimimaro wake from his short nap. "Hello there little chibi," Kyuubi whispered. Sea green eyes peeked open from behind long white eyelashes and Kyuubi's alpha hummed warmly at the sight. Brushing the long white hair from Kimimaro's forehead, he felt his chest flutter at the small smile Kimimaro gave. "Hungry?" Kyuubi asked while sliding his fingers through the white hair, noting it felt so silky soft. He wanted to hold it to his nose and inhale the scent.

"Kyuubi-san, will you consider being our pack alpha?"

Kyuubi took a sudden breath at the question. His eyes searched the other, not sure what he was looking for in that innocent face. After several moments, "why do you ask chibi?"

Kimimaro looked away, apparent that he was thinking, his bottom lip sucked in between his teeth. He then rolled off the alpha's lap, sitting up beside Kyuubi before giving him a broad grin. "I think it would be nice to be a family."

Kyuubi just stared. He wasn't sure what to say while the younger omega just stared back at him with a smile that he found was so beautiful and serene. He had to admit to himself that when he saw Kimimaro riddled with the injuries that he had sustained when the vampires attacked, the blood, his limp body — he shuddered at the dark thoughts of the little omega dying.

But suddenly, Kyuubi recalled their first kiss, that night, when all the shit went down and his alpha purred at the memory. He couldn't believe that he almost forgot that all happened! The excited look on Kimi's face when Kyuubi presented him with the gift — shit! The gift!. What could have happened to it? Was it lost in the attack?

"Let's get something to eat!"

Kimimaro's voice broke Kyuubi's thoughts. He looked up to see that Kimi had stood and was pulling at his hand, urging him to get up and follow. Kyuubi couldn't help but return a smile at the omega who's beaming smile looked back at him. "Okay chibi, lead the way," he chuckled, getting up and following the excited omega. He could wait a little longer to find the answers.

Kyuubi walked into the kitchen and saw Sakura, Hinata and Naruto putting various items of food platters together. Kiba and Nagato were getting dishes out, Konan, Sasuke and Iwai were sitting at the table. Kimimaro skipped towards Konan immediately, grabbing Iwai's attention with his cooing and smiling, and the small cub giggled at Kimimaro's antics. Everyone was just so – settled. Like nothing horrific happened with the pack, they didn't lose their house, engage in a bloody battle with psychotic vampires, didn't lose any allies to death…

Kyuubi then quickly grabbed Naruto's attention, giving him a silent nod that he needed to speak to the blond alpha.

Naruto quickly planted a kiss on Sasuke's head and whispered something to him before heading towards Kyuubi. The two alpha's slipped into another room, Kyuubi closing the door behind him.

"Sup?" Naruto asked, leaning against the bookshelf in the room, shoving his hands in his pants pockets, his bright blue eyes full of curiosity.

Kyuubi bit the corner of his lip in thought. What did he really want to ask his alpha brother?

Sensing his distress, Naruto spoke first, "is this about you and Kimimaro?" The blond gave a knowing grin and a wink.

Kyuubi's eyes blinked up in a flash at the other.

"Aw come on, don't look so surprised! Anyone can see that dreamy faraway look in your eyes," Naruto teased.

Kyuubi felt his face flush and he had to look away. He was coming to terms with his feelings towards the younger omega, that much was true. But to hear that he was looking like a love sick pup? That thought was a little more embarrassing.

"Are you courtin'?" Naruto's tone was now serious.

Kyuubi turned to look at his blond alpha brother, nodding his head yes. His mouth still wouldn't respond properly.

"Excellent," Naruto beamed and moved to face Kyuubi, placing his hands on the other's shoulders giving him a bit of a shake. "Don't be so embarrassed man! We are all happy for you!"

"I'm leaving with my own pack," Kyuubi suddenly blurted out. When he looked at the blond alpha seeing the wide surprised blue eyes, he was suddenly horrified he had said such a thing.

Was that what he really wanted? What would Naruto think? What would the pack think? Would they call him immature? Would they chase him out thinking that is the practical norm to do? Would they accuse him of abandoning them?

Kyuubi continued to just stare at the other, holding his ground and preparing for the worst that he would be faced with.

"Holy shit!" Naruto exclaimed, stepping back and rushing his fingers through his hair. "Seriously? When did you — no where did you? Shit man! I d-don't, really — shit, wow…" Naruto turned slightly, holding his head, his eyes downcasted.

Kyuubi continued to stand facing his pack brother. It felt as if a boulder had dropped in his stomach, making him feel nauseous, heavy, and not really knowing what to expect was practically killing him! "Naruto–I—I," he began to say.

He was met with a gleaming smile that had Kyuubi quickly shut his mouth with a click from his teeth.

"Well hell, this calls for a celebration ya know!" Naruto rushed forward and embraced Kyuubi tightly. "Though I hate the thought of you leaving, but—but, I'm really happy for you," he whispered, his voice choking up with emotion.

Kyuubi stood frozen, his mind going in different directions and his voice stuck in his throat.

Naruto pulled back then, his blue eyes glistening with moisture. "When you're ready to let the others know, tell me, okay? I'll stand beside you, no matter what!" He squeezed Kyuubi's shoulders. "Now, if that's it, let's get something to eat, ne?!" He nodded his head several times waiting for the red head to answer.

"Uh, okay, yeah," Kyuubi managed to respond, giving a weak laugh in response. He suddenly didn't know why he was so worried to begin with. The blond began to turn away but Kyuubi grabbed his shoulder, stopping Naruto in his tracks. Wide and kind blue eyes looked back at him curiously, but patiently. "Thanks," was all Kyuubi could say. The blond gave a reassuring smile before the pair headed back to the kitchen together.

After the food had been laid out, the members of the Uzumaki household were sitting around the table, chattering and eating before Naruto looked about and realised something. He leaned over to Sasuke, "I'm going to check on Utakata. Take him some food." He began to get up before his mate stopped him.

"I'll come with you," Sasuke said, moving to stand up. Naruto just nodded in agreement, and the pair gathered up some food before leaving the kitchen.

The pair sat in Utakata's room, who invited them in but not without informing them that he was the guest at the Uzumaki home, therefore the head alpha and his mate should not have to ask permission to wander anywhere within the pack home and lands.

"W-What? How–where did you come up with such an idea?" Naruto sputtered out when Utakata gave the explanation.

Sasuke smacked Naruto on the arm, "dobe, don't be so narrow minded." Naruto glared back at the omega before pouting and shutting his mouth.

"I wanted to thank you for saving my life and Iwai," Sasuke spoke gently, nodding at Utakata. The other returned a confused gaze to Sasuke. "Without you, who knows what could have happened," Sasuke added in a whisper.

The silence held in the room for a few moments, Utakata didn't know how to respond to that. To have the head omega of a pack express gratitude, well, he had never heard or even seen such a presentation.

"What do you remember of that night when the vampires attacked?" Sasuke asked Utakata gently, breaking the silence.

"You," Utakata spoke plainly and sure of himself, his eyes not wavering as they focused on Sasuke, who's dark brows rose in surprise. "I needed to save you. It was you I heard, through the darkness — and Iwai, I heard him too, I couldn't let either of you die…" His voice trailed off and he looked towards Naruto.

"I owe you a lot Utakata," Naruto added and held a hand out to Utakata. "I don't know what you are completely, but that doesn't matter to me. You showed your allegiance to the Uzumaki pack when you stood with us when the vampires attacked. And you saved the lives of my mate and pup." He beamed a smile, his hand still outstretched towards the other.

Utakata glanced over at Sasuke, who looked on with a sense of calm in his eyes, and looking back up at the alpha blond, he slowly lifted his hand up towards the alpha.

"As far as I am concerned, you are a wolf, just as when I met you, and you can stay with the Uzumaki pack for as long as you want." Naruto clasped Utakata's hand, grasping it tightly and shaking it firmly. "I understand you have something different within you, but we, the pack," Naruto waved his arm about to express himself and the others, "can always help you figure out what that is?"

Utakata tilted his head in question, after hearing what the alpha just presented. 'A pack? He could stay with the Uzumaki's — but what exactly did they want from him? Could he trust them, just as Naruto had said?' Utakata's mind was a flurry of questions, as he looked between the blond alpha and his mate.

"No need to answer now Utakata." Naruto grinned widely at the wolf, his hand going up to rub at the back of his head. "But just know, you are welcome here. And I owe you a debt for what you did." Naruto slipped up beside Sasuke and placed a kiss upon his temple, giggling when Sasuke playfully pushed him away and rolled his eyes.

"We will go," Sasuke spoke then, noticing that Utakata had a lot on his mind. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to come out and find me. You're safe here." Sasuke pulled at Naruto's hand, pulling him towards the door, indicating it was time for them to leave.

"Later Utakata! There is more food out in the kitchen, but, with those wolves out there, I don't know how long it will last!" Naruto laughed as he slipped out the door with Sasuke.

Utakata just continued to stare at the closed door, his ears picking up the chatter and laughter in the other room. "A part of the Uzumaki pack — huh," Utakata spoke to the empty room.
