"Time for breakfast!" Kimimaro sang out when he knocked on Kyuubi's door. "Wakey wakey!" he called out again. He giggled when he heard a grumble through the door and a 'five more minutes'. "Can I come in?" Kimimaro smiled triumphantly when he opened the door after Kyuubi growled out permission.
He practically skipped over to the windows, opening the drapes and allowing the morning sun inside. He giggled again when he heard Kyuubi growl and throw his covers over his head more. He slipped over to the side of the bed and sat gently on the edge, seeing only a small opening with the unmistakable red hair of the alpha poking out.
"I made breakfast, please come down to eat." Kimimaro began poking at the comforter, finding out where Kyuubi was. He squeaked when his thigh was grabbed suddenly, Kyuubi's hand coming out from under the comforter and squeezing his leg.
"Hmm, seems like there is an intruder invading my bed," Kyuubi's voice was low, teasing and he squeezed his fingers playfully causing Kimimaro to shriek and giggle.
"Stop! Stop!" Kimimaro laughed and wiggled as Kyuubi's fingers created enough pressure on his leg to tickle. He slapped playfully at Kyuubi's hand and fell upon the bed in his quest to get up. He shrieked in excitement when Kyuubi jumped out from under the comforter and started tickling the smaller omega.
Kimimaro giggled and squealed at the tickle assault, wiggling all over the bed, Kyuubi's fingers pressing on all the spots that made him squirm. "Stop! Hahaha! N-no! Time f-for bre-bre-breakfast!" Kimimaro laughed.
Kyuubi's large frame slowed after a bit, his body hovering over the smaller and Kyuubi felt something warm up within him. Kimimaro's cheeks were flushed, his breath was laboured but he smiled continuously as those green eyes looked up at him, waiting. Looking down at the smaller wolf, Kyuubi leaned down, his eyes watching the other closely as his lips descended upon the other. The sensations that washed through him was warm, peaceful, and his alpha howled with excitement when he felt Kimimaro's lips push against his own.
Their lips melded together, Kimimaro lifted his arms and draped them around the alpha's thick neck, his fingers threading through the alpha's hair and pulling him in closer. Kyuubi dragged his tongue along Kimimaro's lower lip, genty asking for more. His heart quickened when Kimimaro responded, opening his lips further, granting access for the alpha's deeping kiss.
Kyuubi deepened the kiss, thrusting his tongue into the omega's warm cavern, his body thrumming with excitement when the omega's tongue touched his own, and their dance began.
Kimimaro hummed excitedly through the kiss, his body heating up like he had never felt before. He dug his nails into the skin of the alpha above him, a heavy desire of wanting more, as much as he could take, holding the alpha close to his body. His tongue lapped up the taste of the alpha kissing him, his omega pushing for more. He felt his hips shift up and moaned at the sudden zing of pleasure that pulsed through his body.
Kyuubi snarled at the sudden movements of the omega below him. His cock was suddenly alive, hardened and pulsing with his heart beat and he pushed it against the omega's body. The alpha within him growled with a heavy need, pushing Kyuubi to take the omega, make him his own, a primal desire that wanted to take over.
"Ahhh…" Kimimaro suddenly breathed out in ecstasy, his hips arching upwards against the alpha. "So–so good," he panted when Kyuubi's lips descended upon his neck, licking, tasting and nipping at his skin. The pleasurable sensations of the alpha pushing on his cock against his own was oh so good. He clawed at the alpha's back, trying to pull the alpha harder into him, arching his back to do so.
"Kimi…" the alpha growled into the omega's neck. "So perfect, mmm, smell so good." Kyuubi rubbed his cheek along the omega's neck, biting lightly on his shoulder. He continued to rub his confined cock against the other, feeling his orgasm build in his tight ball sack. "Fuck…fuck, I–I need…" he stuttered. He dropped his forehead onto Kimimaro's shoulder, squeezing his eyes shut as he continued to rut harder and faster against the other.
"Kyu–, ah ah…please, it feels —feels," Kimimaro choked through his heavy breaths, his hips trying to push up into the hardened alpha body, his cock tingling with every touch.
Kyuubi felt the omega tremble beneath him with every rutted thrust, which encouraged his alpha to push harder, faster. The primal urges within him began to push and push the instinctual desire to take the omega as his own. Kyuubi squeezed his eyes shut, focusing on his building twisting in his gut, trying to ignore the instinctual urges until he heard and felt the omega beneath gasp out in orgasmic bliss. The omega gripped the skin on his back with a cry of pleasure, the sudden painful pinches triggering his own orgasm, and he rutted his confined cock against the omega's body beneath him. He blacked out from the overwhelming pleasure rushing through his body, his alpha howling with want.
When his focus returned, Kyuubi could feel the heat of the omega beneath him, Kimi's fingers tracing the muscles on his back gently and feel a subtle purr coming from the omega's chest, vibrating through his own. His alpha was content, practically rolling about in happiness and Kyuubi suddenly felt immediate regret.
He lifted himself up slowly, doubts filled his head on what he would see in Kimimaro's face, 'he practically raped him'. He should have never let it get this far, it was wrong, immature, feral and the omega had every right to run from him, fear him — Kyuubi wouldn't deny he was in the wrong.
Hands slapped on Kyuubi's cheeks that caught him by surprise, he looked below him to see sea green eyes narrowed up at him, and lips planted in a frown. Frozen in shock, Kyuubi realised that Kimimaro's hands had a firm grasp on his face, making him look at him directly and the alpha hummed a pleasurable sound from deep within him.
"Kimi?" Kyuubi managed to whisper.
"Don't think like that," Kimimaro scolded. His sweet omega voice was laced with authority and he kept a firm hold on Kyuubi's cheeks.
Remorse flooded through Kyuubi, "Kimi…I shouldn't have, this–I–."
"Stop," Kimimaro demanded, squeezing Kyuubi's cheeks. "You have done nothing wrong."
Kyuubi blinked, looking at those beautiful green eyes. They were full of kindness, support and most of all innocence. Suddenly, Kyuubi felt even more guilty, he took a part of that innocence, just now, forcefully. He tried to turn his face away, but the omega kept him still.
"Why do you feel so guilty? I can feel it, my wolf senses it. We are confused." Kimimaro's head tilted slightly, his hair getting messed up even more on the pillow beneath his head.
Kyuubi sighed and moved off Kimimaro, moving to sit on the edge of the bed, his back towards the small omega. He ran a hand through his red locks, allowing the guilt to rush through him on what just transpired a few moments ago. The cold wet cum mess in his pyjamas was a hard reminder of it.
"Kyu–" Kimimaro whispered, rolling towards the sudden distant alpha.
"I shouldn't have done that," Kyuubi breathed out. "I took advantage, lost control, it–it's not the proper thing to do!" He flinched when Kimimaro's hand touched his back.
Kimimaro scrambled up, whining slightly at the wet mess in his pants, reminding him of what just happened. He blushed at the thought before moving to sit beside Kyuubi on the edge of the bed. "Hey," he said while grabbing Kyuubi's hand. The alpha didn't move away, allowing Kimimaro to hold onto his hands. "Look at me," he whispered.
The alpha only glanced up at the omega, his eyes were full of remorse and guilt, Kimimaro just smiled.
"What isn't right? Explain?"
"I'm supposed to court you properly, before anything like that," he nodded his head backwards towards the bed, "should ever should happen." His shoulders slouched more and he looked away. "I forced you, essentially raped you into doing something that should have never happened." Kyuubi was growling now, scolding himself. "I would understand if you never wanted to see me again," he added with a harsh whisper.
Kimimaro was silent for a few moments, his eyes watching the upset alpha and processing his words. When Kyuubi made to get up, Kimimaro pulled on his arms and sat the gloomy red haired alpha back down on the bed. Kyuubi glanced nervously back at him but did as Kimimaro requested.
"You calling me weak alpha?" Kimimaro growled, his sea green eyes narrowed at Kyuubi.
Kyuubi's eyes flew open in surprise. "What!? No! Never!" He turned to look at the omega fully, staring at the obviously annoyed expression on Kimimaro. "Y–you aren't weak! I would never ever say that of you!" Kyuubi squeezed Kimimaro's hands. Kimimaro had been through so much, as a cub, as a young wolf, and when he was alone for almost three years in the wilderness…Kimi was a valiant and strong young wolf to go at all that alone. And not to mention, his heroic efforts during the vampire attack when Kyuubi couldn't be there to protect him —
Kimimaro's eyes softened. "Then why can't you see that if I didn't want that to happen," he nodded his head to the bed and blushed a deep red instantly. "I could have easily thrown you off." He gave a firm nod with pinched lips, expressing his confidence.
Kyuubi's mouth hung open at the bold confession.
Kimimaro then dropped his eyes, the blush in his cheeks flaring up, he fidgeted with the hem of his shirt. "After Sakura-chan and Hinata-chan talked to me, about the umm… well the birds and the bees?" He looked up shyly and snickered lightly, "and well, umm… it isn't that I don't know what happens between an alpha and omega, umm…" Kimimaro was struggling to find the right words between feeling incredibly embarrassed talking outloud about this to his alpha.
He hesitated for a moment, thinking about what he had just thought. 'Yes, Kyuubi is my alpha, and nothing is going to change that.' Kimimaro suddenly grinned at how perfect it sounded, his alpha. Kyuubi is his alpha.
"Kimi?"
Kyuubi's voice had Kimimaro blinking and refocusing on the alpha before him. Licking his lips, he continued. "And of course I had seen stuff, things, and of course sex, happening at the place where the person who bought me took me," he shrugged his shoulders. Kyuubi began to growl at the mention of that place. "Nothing ever happened to me. I was able to get away before anything like that happened." Kyuubi calmed down immediately after the explanation. Kimimaro took a breath, "but I want to be with you. You— my alpha." He managed to bring his eyes up to the alpha before him, nervous on what Kyuubi's answer would be. Would Kyuubi leave him? Find him disgusting? Find him not good enough? Insecurities began to get the better of him and the need to bolt from the room was becoming too strong to ignore.
Kyuubi saw the fear dancing in those sea green eyes, causing an ache to twist in Kyuubi's chest. He reached under the omega's chin and gently ran his fingers along Kimimaro's slender jaw line. His alpha purred with excitement when Kimimaro leaned into his touch.
Kimimaro snickered slightly, "and besides, since when do we come from noble families to have to do stuffy old official courting rituals? I would like to do courting your – no, our way. This is the 21st century after all." Kimimaro grinned at the alpha.
Kyuubi couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter at the comment. The little omega was right. Since when do they have to follow all the courtship rules that had been started since god knows when? He slipped his hand through his hair, shaking his head with another laugh.
"So? Ready for breakfast? After — we uh, clean up?" Kimimaro blushed again, feeling the cold and wet uncomfortable feeling in his underwear.
Kyuubi chuckled again while standing up, pulling the omega up into his arms. The young omega certainly was showing how mature he was, showing the alpha a thing or two, putting him in his place, so to speak. "Let's go. We probably should let the other's know about us and there are probably gonna be a lot of questions from the others," Kyuubi whispered while pulling the omega's lips back to his own.
Sakura was the first to blow a raspberry and tell Kyuubi that it was a no-brainer that he and Kimimaro were getting close. Hinata just giggled when Sakura rolled her eyes and put hands on her hips outrageously responding to Kyuubi's announcement.
"So what does that mean in the long run Kyuubi," Kiba asked while shoving another piece of toast in his mouth. Hinata smacked Kiba in his arm, mumbling at him to slow down before he chokes. Kiba exaggerated a whine while rubbing his arm that had Hinata throwing him a glare.
Kyuubi took a drink of coffee and glanced at Nagato, who smiled gently. "That is something that I need to talk about with the others." He pointed to Nagato and his family.
"What? What about us?" Kiba barked in surprise. "OW! Hinata! What the—!" Kiba whined loudly, hiding his head from the dark haired beta wolf who's threatening glare was scary as fuck.
"Have you no manners, you big oaf!" Sakura scolded Kiba. "Kyuubi will let us know when he's ready, idiot." Sakura shook her fist at Kiba, who continued to look wide eyed between the two beta women. He frowned and shook his head before shoving more food in his mouth.
"Does Naruto know?" Sakura asked, while refilling her cup.
"Know what?" Naruto asked while walking into the room, Sasuke right behind him. "Good morning everyone by the way."
"Kyuubi's announcement," Kiba piped up, food spitting out of his mouth. Nobody paid attention to Kiba's yelping when Sakura and Hinata both smacked him in unison.
Naruto grabbed two plates, handing one to Sasuke before starting to load up his own plate with food. "Oh yeah, I know some of it," Naruto answered and put a piece of toast in his mouth. "I suh-sect der –ill –e –ots ohh dis–uss mmm?" Naruto then whined when Sasuke ripped the piece of toast from his mouth and put it on Naruto's plate instead.
"Don't talk with your mouth full dobe," Sasuke grumbled and scowled at the blond alpha.
"What!" Kiba again. "Naruto knew before we did!? OW!"
"KIBA! I swear to KAMI I will neuter you if you don't shut up!" Sakura thumped Kiba on the head hard this time, her annoyance obvious while a loud growl erupted from her lips.
Utakata reached out and touched Sasuke's hip gently, catching the raven haired omega's attention. Sasuke slipped into the seat beside Utakata while the rest of the pack was laughing at Kiba, Kiba was whining and complaining, Kimimaro, Nagato were chuckling, Konan smiled while baby Iwai babbled at the excitement around the table. It was if the pack had just slipped back into its regular norm, as if nothing ever happened.
"How are you Utakata? Sleep well?" Sasuke asked while cutting up his toast and sausage.
"Yes thank you. I have questions…" he whispered, his eyes watching the interactions going on at the table.
Sasuke hummed a confirmation sound while putting a piece of sausage in his mouth.
"This—" Utakata waved his fingers at the group of wolves, "is normal?"
Sasuke looked at Utakata, the curiosity, confusion and surprise presented in his face and eyes. Sasuke had to snort a laugh at the sight as he glanced back at the animated pack. "I would have to say yes, for the Uzumaki pack that is," he smiled softly at the explanation. "Every pack family is different on how they interact with each other. With this particular pack," he used his thumb to point at them, "they are compassionate, loving, caring, devoted and most of all dedicated to each other. As a pack should be." Sasuke gave a firm nod of agreement. "And this is how they show it to each other. On the other hand, not all packs show their devotion, dedication and love in this manner. My family pack was very different growing up," Sasuke whispered, a hint of sadness in his voice.
"How so?" Utakata asked.
It was an innocent question, but Sasuke just shook his head. "That's a story for another time," he explained quietly.
Utakata could see the sadness in the raven haired omega, but he didn't ask anymore questions, respecting the omega's privacy. He as well had a story to his past and wasn't sure about sharing it with others yet either. So he turned back to watching the Uzumaki pack laugh, yell, with large smiles on their faces, thinking for a moment that he is glad to be here to gain this experience.

Later in the day Kakashi dropped by to see Utakata and of course talk to the rest of the pack, since he was there. "Yo," he called out when he saw Utakata outside the cabin, giving a wave to the brunette. "How's it going today?" Kakashi asked when he got closer to the wolf.
Utakata studied the grey haired wolf for a moment, seeing the smile behind his mask that covered the bottom half of his face. As always, he had not sensed any hostility from this wolf and the man always seemed to be pleasant and friendly to talk to. "I am just looking about the area…" he trailed off, looking into the trees.
"Home sick?" Kakashi asked when he glanced at the direction Utakata was looking.
Utakata tilted his head at Kakashi, his brows raising in question what the grey haired wolf said. "Home – sick?"
"It's when you feel lonely for wherever you call home," Kakashi explained gently.
Utakata pinched his lips in thought. 'Wherever you call home…' he pondered. He didn't think he had any place in particular that he could actually call home. And certainly he was not feeling lonely for anywhere. He shook his head, "no I don't believe so."
Kakashi chuckled and scratched the side of his head. "Well, if you ever find somewhere that you want to call home, you may experience it." He took a big breath and let it out slowly, watching as the stream of crystallised moisture escaped his lips turning into a puff of white fog. The pair stood in the sun silently, looking at the line of trees.
"Would you like to walk with me for a bit?" Kakashi asked, tilting his head towards the tree line. He was moving slowly while speaking with Utakata, wanting to learn more about him but knew he had to gain the wolf's trust.
Utakata gave a questionable look towards Kakashi, who continued to grin behind the mask. "Why?" The concept of walking with no apparent destination seemed alien to him.
"Why not? It's what people do sometimes. Just to get away from the noise, give yourself some me time, to reflect, or whatever." Kakashi shrugged. "Want to give it a go?"
Utakata stared back into the tree line for a moment, then nodded his head in agreement. The pair slowly made their way through the snow and headed towards the forest.
==x00x00x00x00x00x==
The next day, Kyuubi sat with Nagato and Konan at their cabin. A soft snowfall had started outside and Kimimaro was out running in it, along with Kiba, who was checking the borders. Kimimaro was always curious to see how the Uzumaki pack worked, thus begging Kiba to go along with him, intermittently playing in the snow as well. Kiba was a big kid himself, but Kyuubi trusted Kiba to keep Kimimaro entertained and informed.
"I wanted to let you know that I have accepted your offer," Kyuubi nodded to both wolves in the cabin, "to have you join my pack."
The two beta wolves smiled at the alpha, and Iwai cooed at Konan's feet. The little cub was growing like a weed and starting to roll and crawl upon the floor. His eyes were wide and curious, touching and tasting everything, and Kyuubi couldn't help but feel a deep rooted instinct starting to rise — family.
"So, umm, well I have some things to figure out before starting my pack," Kyuubi started, scratching the pack of his neck and chuckling nervously. He knew nothing about running a pack, let alone how to get it started.
"Take the time you need alpha," Nagato responded, bowing his head slightly. "If you need anything, of course we," he pointed to himself and Konan, "will be happy to assist."
"Good, good," Kyuubi mumbled. "But, we need to talk about your pack brother, Yahiko, was it?"
A shadow fell over the two beta that Kyuubi couldn't help notice. He knew very little of their pack brother that had left, only what Konan and Nagato had told him all those months ago, when he first met them at their bar. And now he had suddenly appeared, and was apparently around this area for a long time.
"I haven't spoken to him yet," Nagato admitted. "But both of us are wanting to." He leaned up against Konan for support. "I may not feel ready, but it has to be done," he added. Konan kissed Nagato's temple with a small smile. "Just not sure how to get in contact with him, since we left him with the Uchiha pack."
"Oh, well that shouldn't be too difficult since we have an Uchiha here," Kyuubi smirked and rubbed at the back of his neck again. "I would like to meet him too, if that is okay with you two?"
"If that is your wish alpha," Nagato bowed his head again.
"No no no," Kyuubi sputtered. "It's just that — come on, if you guys aren't comfortable with him returning, then just saying. But, you guys are family! Have a history, and well, just cause Yahiko did something that you didn't agree with — well look what I did to my pack!" Kyuubi sputtered out his explanation excitedly. When Nagato and Konan just stared back at him confused, he realised that they didn't know that he had abandoned his pack all those months ago, without letting anyone know what he was doing, racing off into the darkness like a crazed vigilante who thought he could save everyone and bring down the bad guys.
He leaned back in his chair with a drawn out breath, his shoulders slumping, his head fell back and he looked up to the ceiling. "I forgot you guys wouldn't know," he whispered. When he didn't hear anything from the two beta he continued. "I–I was an idiot before when I met you two. I abandoned my pack, because I was angry, and hell, I was scared too." He pulled his head back up and looked at the two who were quietly watching. "I was so certain that I could bring down the group that shot and poisoned Naruto, who kidnapped and tortured Sasuke, that I didn't stop to think how I hurt my pack." He frowned. "It was certainly a very immature, selfish, and reckless move that I made. That I regret in some ways."
The room remained silent with just Iwai making his cooing and popping noises as he continued to play on the floor.
"Well, I guess we all have some skeletons in the closet and then some," Nagato chuckled, breaking the tense silence. "We have time to talk about things that have happened in our past, but as for now, I think it would be best to sit and have a long talk with Yahiko. After all, we have no idea what he has been doing, what he has learned, achieved and so on." Nagato rubbed at his cheeks, appearing to be thinking of their next move.
"Let's talk to Naruto and Sasuke about making those arrangements to talk to Yahiko then," Kyuubi suggested. It was at that moment that Kimimaro came barrelling into the home, his face flushed with red from the cold, his hair covered in soft snowflakes. He shook his head, causing droplets of snow to fly around the door and stomped the snow off his boots.
"Have fun?" Kyuubi asked and quickly got up to help Kimimaro out of his parka. He pulled on the loose hair band that Kimimaro had on, wiping off wet droplets from the snow.
"Did you know how many kilometres of border there are? Did you see the stream that runs through the land? How about all the animals, caves and rocks?" Kimimaro's voice was full of excitement, his eyes lit up while sharing his experience with Kiba this morning. "And Kiba-san said that if I work really hard, that I can help out next time with scents and tracks! He said he would show me all the important stuff!"
Kyuubi nuzzled Kimimaro's cheek and inhaled the omega's scent. Kimimaro began purring from the attention from the alpha and Kyuubi at once felt peaceful. His alpha was preening at the omega's attention, and Kyuubi realised that this was something he was hoping to extend. Building a family with the people he cared about.
==x00x00x00x00x00x==
Nagato, Konan and Kyuubi were sitting in a room within the Uchiha manor a few days later. After Kyuubi talked to Naruto and Sasuke, naturally Sasuke was able to arrange with Itachi for the crew to meet with Yahiko. Since Yahiko had been talking to the Uchiha omega, Deidara, naturally the omega was quick to set up arrangements with the rogue beta. He wasn't a rogue anymore mind you, not since he found that Nagato and Konan were close with the Uchiha's and so forth.
Kyuubi offered to leave, but Nagato and Konan requested he stay, as their alpha, and if the reunion went well, then Nagato and Konan were going to tell him their plan on being with Kyuubi's pack. Kyuubi rubbed at his knees nervously while waiting for Deidara to bring Yahiko. He didn't know why he was so damn nervous, so he decided to walk to the fireplace and stand there, shoving his hands in his pockets. Nagato and Konan were sitting together on a small couch, talking quietly with each other and holding hands. Sasuke was taking care of Iwai somewhere else in the vast manor, along with Naruto of course.
The blond Uchiha omega suddenly whooshed into the room, startling the wolves, showing off a dazzling smile.
"Hello darlings," Deidara announced in a sing-song voice. "Come in, come in," he continued while turning to wave at the door he just came in through. He stepped to the side and a bright red haired beta stepped into the room.
Kyuubi eyed the red haired beta who had several piercings throughout his face. Kyuubi had seen piercings before, but never as many as this beta had. But, he had to admit, they made him look good. He could tell the beta was nervous, he had his clasped hands in front of him, he was looking up through his eye lashes around the room. When his eyes settled on Nagato and Konan, he dropped his face more, hiding it under his hair.
"I'll leave you all at it then," Deidara announced. "There's a pup I need to see!" He wiggled his fingers at the group and quickly closed the door.
"Pleasure to meet you Yahiko-san," Kyuubi started, authority laced in his voice. "I wanted to thank you for your assistance during the vampire attack." Kyuubi stepped forward and extended his hand. The beta's eyes widened while looking up the alpha before him before accepting the outstretched hand. Kyuubi's alpha hummed in acceptance of the beta before him, and he figured that was a good sign. He motioned for Yahiko to go sit at a chair across from Nagato and Konan, and Yahiko took a breath, bowed his head slightly in respect before taking a seat.

"OH MY KAMI, he's sssssssoooooooo adorable!" Deidara squealed and clapped his hands while playing with Iwai on the floor. The little pup was cooing and making smacking noises, his eyes wide with excitement while reaching for Deidara's long hair.
Sasuke chuckled while sitting on a chair nearby, watching the interaction. Naruto had gone to speak with Itachi about any new information regarding the vampires and Sasuke was content to sit with Iwai. Of course Deidara needed to be where the pup was too.
"Dei?" Sasuke hummed. Deidara looked up at him from the floor, Iwai pulling on his long hair. "So, have you and niisan talked to Tsunade-sama?" Sasuke was still feeling extremely guilty and sad that his brother-in-law had been so hurt after it was discovered Sasuke was pregnant. He absentmindedly rubbed his swollen belly, watching Deidara.
Iwai shoved a fistful of Deidara's hair in his mouth that had Deidara chuckle and he rubbed his nose into Iwai's crown and called the pup 'silly boy'. He shuffled Iwai in his lap before looking back at Sasuke. "Yes we did, and things were put on hold because of course, of those psychotic vampires 'un." He grinned at Sasuke then, beginning to bounce the pup in his lap. "She was here the other day, talked to 'Tachi, told him about what she has discovered and we are both going to see her next week." He grinned widely before dropping his lips back onto Iwai's head. "Who's a cute widdle baby puppy! You are! You are!" Deidara sang out again while kissing and nuzzling the pup while Iwai giggled and squealed in delight.
Sasuke said no more, he was happy to hear that things were moving forward with his aniki and Dei. The two deserved to be happy, in all aspects of their relationship.
It was at least an hour before Naruto came back to the room. Iwai and Deidara had played each other out, and both Deidara and Iwai were napping. Deidara on the couch, with Iwai tucked in his arms. Sasuke had gotten a throw to cover them both up and settled on the chair with a book while the pair slept. Thankfully Naruto didn't make too much noise coming in. The blond grinned at the sleeping pair on the couch before kneeling before Sasuke, slipping between the raven haired omega's knees and placing his cheek on Sasuke's swollen stomach. Sasuke immediately began running his fingers through the thick blond locks, enjoying the sensation his omega and the alpha were sharing with each other.
"Anything new?" Sasuke whispered while Naruto just continued to purr and nuzzle Sasuke's abdomen.
"Nothing. The vampires that escaped, there hasn't been any sign of them, which isn't surprising, but we suspect that they will think twice before trying to attack any of our clans again," Naruto hummed. "Since Iwai is still here, I am assuming Kyuubi is still with the others?"
Sasuke gently pulled on the blond alpha's hair, directing him to come up. He pulled the blond alpha to his lips, giving him a gentle kiss. Naruto hummed happily into the warm kiss, adjusting himself carefully to not squish Sasuke in the chair.
"Mmm, that was nice, what was that for?" Naruto whispered with a smile on his face when he pulled back.
Sasuke smirked and looked up through his eyelashes, "cause you are such a good alpha."
Naruto felt a warmth explode in his chest from the simple praise, and he rubbed his nose against the other. "And you are the most perfect omega."
The two enjoyed being in each other's presence for a few moments before a soft knock came from the door. Naruto put a quick peck on Sasuke's lips before standing up, adjusting his semi hard package in his pants and went to open the door.
"The others have requested you and Uchiha-sama to return," the servant said in a bow.
"Hn," Sasuke responded, setting his book down and moved to wake Deidara. He tried to gather up the sleeping pup, but Deidara's grip only tightened and Sasuke chuckled when he swore he heard a small growl from the still sleeping blond omega. They eventually got organised and the group headed back to the room where Kyuubi was with the other beta wolves.
.

"Send me a message when you get home 'un," Deidara murmured into Sasuke's ear as he was nuzzling him at the door of the Uchiha manor. "You know how much 'Tachi worries."
"Hn," Sasuke responded, knowing that was partially true. Deidara worried the most between the both of them in his opinion.
Itachi was shaking hands with Naruto, then Kyuubi before saying his farewells to the other beta wolves. "I certainly wish you all the best," he said in his most professional manner towards Kyuubi. Kyuubi nodded and hummed in response at the Uchiha hierarchy, appreciating the partnership between the two clans.
The Uzumaki pack left the Uchiha manor, leaving with one more beta wolf than they arrived with.
==x00x00x00x00x00x==
Several weeks later
Manic laughter echoed throughout the darkness. Sasuke screamed, his arms still stretched out before him, both hands covered in heavy dripping black liquid. His small, warm, glowing green orb, that was his life, his love, lay limp, like a deflated balloon in his arms. No warmth, no energy, no aura came from the green orb that lost its light and as Sasuke howled in agony and pain into the darkness, the deflated orb fell to the ground from his grasp. Its colour slowly drained away, the small sparks that often surrounded it, now fizzled into nothing.
Sasuke fell to his knees, his hands grasping at the now colourless orb that felt heavy and cold in his hands. 'No no no NO! Come back, come back, I'm s-so sorry, please!' The black ooze now grew into a large puddle around him, his hands still covered in it and he wailed louder through the pain that ripped through his chest.
Sasuke opened his eyes, his heart pounding heavily in his chest. His breathing was erratic and quickly he sat up, looking down at his hands.
They were clean, looking as normal as they did everyday. He brought his hand to his face, covering his eyes, trying to take even breaths, but that laugh — it was fading, but he could still hear it in the back of his mind. He could still feel the cold thick and heavy black ooze covering his arms and hands. His hands shook and he rubbed them briskly, trying to get rid of the feeling of them being soiled.
Warm arms embraced him, causing him to shiver slightly at the shock.
"Hey, hey, it's me, I'm here," the alpha's voice soothed over Sasuke's trembling body.
Naruto heard his mate wake suddenly, the trembling and heavy breathing was a sign that his mate was suffering. Not to mention Sasuke's omega howled out to the alpha in distress, calling out in a pain that made Naruto's heart clench. His mate was in pain.
Naruto nuzzled his face into Sasuke's crown, rubbing his back soothingly, releasing a calming purr as he willed the fear out of Sasuke. "Nightmare?" he whispered. Sasuke trembled and rubbed his cheek into the alpha's chest. It was all that was needed to confirm Naruto's question. So he held his mate strong, waiting for the raven haired man to calm.
"Want to talk about it?" Naruto asked, several minutes later after Sasuke had calmed down.
Sasuke pulled away from the warmth of the blond alpha, looking down at the comforter that lay over his lower half, picking at the seams with his fingers. Did he really need to talk about it? It was only a dream, no way it could be real, but it certainly felt like it.
"You know you can talk to me about anything," Naruto offered again, running his fingertips up and down Sasuke's porcelain skinned back. He didn't push the omega, he thought he knew Sasuke well enough now that the omega needed to come to him in his own time.
"I keep seeing our pup die at the hands of the vampires," Sasuke whispered. He bit his bottom lip to keep it from trembling. "That thing in the cabin, told me about how they would change it, inject it, to turn into something like…" he trailed off, too embarrassed to continue.
Naruto continued to rub his mate's smooth skin, giving Sasuke time. It had been several weeks now since all hell broke loose with the vampire attack on the Uzumaki home. Though the pack had upped their border patrols, more care and detail were being taken into account should something like that ever happen again, some of the pack members still struggling from the trauma. He leaned forward and nuzzled his nose into Sasuke's shoulder and neck.
"We do what we can, to make sure that this never happens again. Teach our children and other packs, our own pack," Naruto tried to ease his mate's fear. Shifting slightly more forward, he put a leg on each side of Sasuke so his chest was pushing against the omega's back. He laced his arms around Sasuke's midsection, his hands cupping the presentable bulge in his abdomen. Their pup nestled and growing well, according to Tsunade. "And with Kyuubi now and his new pack, they all are aware of the dangers and will tell others the same."
"But what happens when Kyuubi and his pack leave?" Sasuke whispered. A small fear of his. Yes they had more numbers currently, but he didn't expect Kyuubi's new pack to stay here.
Naruto nuzzled Sasuke's neck, purring loudly and scented him, trying to soothe his anxious mate. "I don't think Kyuubi will be far away, and if he ever thinks about not contacting me on a weekly basis on what's happening, I'll go find him and beat some sense into him," he teased, still trying to ease the tension.
Nagato and Konan brought Yahiko back with them, accepting his story, explanations on what he had been doing since leaving them all those years ago. The small family pack was healing. Naruto knew there were some hurt feelings, but they were all willing to work together since they shared a past that couldn't be rewritten. And since the three were from the original village that was slaughtered, they were orphaned together, looked out for each other until they were adults, and they vowed to work on being together for their future. Joining a pack seemed to give them a start on having a solid foundation to rebuild themselves as a family.
The small family of betas had been spending the last couple weeks talking, working together, slowly building the trust in each other that they used to have. Kyuubi had been spending more time with Kimimaro, though they weren't courting like ancient texts had always said it was how it should be, the pair were going on more outings together, which Naruto insisted it was dating. Though the red haired alpha would blush heatedly, he didn't deny it and the two alphas would just end up rough housing together.
Kyuubi healing was another factor that was actively happening. Naruto didn't realise how much guilt his younger alpha pack brother was feeling for his impulsive behaviours that led him to leave. The two have had several long runs throughout the forest, long talks that have left them mentally and physically exhausted.
Naruto and Kyuubi were also meeting with Itachi, Kakashi and Tsunade going over any new information about the vampires once a week. So far, as expected, there wasn't any new information that had been learned, so the clans were making sure to keep up to date accurate records of their knowledge and experience. After Fugaku had shared what he had learned back in his days, all the clans had decided it would be imperative to future generations that the information was recorded.
"—uto?"
Naruto blinked, finding wide deep coal black orbs staring over his shoulder at him. "Oh, sorry," Naruto smiled. "I kinda was just…uh, thinking." He slid his fingers up Sasuke's jaw line, cupping his cheek. He held Sasuke's gaze, inhaled deeply and dared to kiss Sasuke's lips, because he was just so fucking sexy, hot, amazing and smelled soooo good. He had been so busy lately, and had a twinge of guilt for ignoring Sasuke as of late.
Sasuke responded to the gentle kiss, pushing and lapping his tongue against the soft alpha lips. The kiss and the possessive growl that the alpha released had Sasuke's inner omega begin to purr and roll about, causing heat to expand throughout his body.

How you readers doing? Still with me? Still hanging on? Much love to those still sticking around!
Naruto easily deepened the kiss when requested, twisting Sasuke to lay back down upon the bed beside him without breaking their lips apart. The sun was just rising over the trees, but neither wolf paid it any mind as their hands and lips slowly reacquainted with the other, making soft and slow love to their mate.
