My One and Only

Wow this fic is doing so well, I hope I can continue with this! Although I won't be able to update for a while I'm going to India for about month, I may be able to update one more time before I leave.



Thank you and I hope you enjoy the rest!



Chapter 3: The Meeting



Two demons slowly made their way through the village, gravel and dirt crunching underneath the soles of their sandals as they walked down a wide path towards the meeting place. Sasuke was growling and grumbling, which was starting to irritate his older brother Itachi. He flexed his clawed fingers in and out of a fist, in an attempt to calm himself. It wasn’t working.



“Calm yourself Otouto! An Uchiha never reveals his emotions to outsiders,” Itachi snapped towards Sasuke.



The younger Wolf demon stopped growling, but the aura that clearly said ‘don’t-come-near-me-unless-you-want-to-die-painfully’ was still there.



Itachi snorted but didn’t say anything else; it wasn’t his problem if anyone got scared away from his brother. It wasn’t his problem if his brother couldn’t find a mate. As they got nearer to the site which was just a grassy clearing that had been decorated, a smirk formed on his lips.



Oh, he didn’t have to worry at all about any of the females being scared of his brother.



It would be his brother who had to be afraid of the hormonal females.



“SASUKE-KUN!”



The demon in question froze in fear; on the outside he looked a picture of calm, but on the inside he was shaking like a leaf. And damn it, his brother knew that as well, if his widening smirk was anything to go by.



“Well then Otouto, I hope you have fun, Ja ne!” and he disappeared in a flurry of leaves.



“Aniki!” Sasuke shouted out, but before he could do anything else, he was overrun by a horde of women.



“Sasuke- kun, you finally came to a mating meeting!” someone shouted.



“Oh Sasuke- kun, I’ve been waiting for you for so long!” another screamed out.



“Sasuke-kun, look here, I’m in my prime, look at me Sasuke-kun!”



“No don’t look at her; you know I’m perfect for you!”



“Sasuke-kun!”



“Sasuke-kun!”



“Sasuke-kun!”



In the distance shrouded in the shadows of the treetops, Itachi sat watching with an uncharacteristically wide smile on his face.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



“Ugh...” the blonde fox moaned out. His body was wracked with the first heat, and he felt like he was going through a fever. His night clothes stuck to his lithe body with sweat, but what annoyed him the most was the craving. He wasn’t even sure what he was craving, but it was growing stronger as time passed on.



Iruka bit his bottom lip in anxiety, he knew that the first heat would be the worst; the body would be trying to adjust to the major changes, which put a large strain on the mental psyche. Not only would the body be taken over by too many hormone-induced emotions, but a fever would wear it down. It is only later, after a few hours had passed, that it wouldn’t ‘hurt’ that much anymore.



The brown-haired demon sighed and stood up, carrying an empty bowl and rag with him. He stepped out of Naruto’s hut to see his husband sitting dutifully in front of the hut guarding it. A smile danced on Iruka’s lips, he loved seeing the man being so attentive.



“Kakashi koishii, I have to get more cold water from the stream, look after him for a while, alright? Just make sure he doesn’t get too hot.”



Kakashi nodded and watched his husband walk into the forest; for some reason he couldn’t shake off the feeling that something huge was going to happen today.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=



He was itchy, hot, and very annoyed.



A very dangerous combination for one Uchiha Sasuke.



There he was, surrounded by about 20 different submissives, all in heat, all displaying, but none of them were what he was looking for. His sensitive nose scrunched up when another female went past him, wagging her tail suggestively. Tch.



His initial plan was to find someone quickly and then just get this over and done with.



So much for that plan.



They were all pretty enough, but ‘pretty’ wasn’t what he was looking for, strong sires produced strong offspring. Sasuke wanted to find someone who could at least defend themselves. Most of their chakra levels were so low he had to wonder how they had managed to survive, while those with a decent amount of chakra reserve had something else wrong with them.



As it turned out, Sasuke was unbelievably picky.



His tail swished in annoyance; he had been here for at least 3 hours and nothing, he might as well just leav-



“Ah Uchiha, didn’t expect to see you here.”



Sasuke stopped himself from growling and turned around to meet the milky pale eyes of Hyuuga Neji.



“Hyuuga, I should say the same to you.”



Neji smirked and went to stand beside Sasuke, and turned to look out in the same direction as the wolf.



“Ever since Hinata-sama found herself a mate last year, uncle has been insistent that I find a mate as well.”



The Hyuuga’s came from a long line of proud snow leopards, a powerful clan in their own right, although the heiress herself didn’t meet up to the clan standard. Hinata was always a timid demon, and from the few times he had met her she could not stop stuttering. But he already had an idea who it was who had mated with her.



“So who is he?” Sasuke asked.



“The heir to the Inuzuka tribe, Kiba, a dog demon,” he said with a hint of detest in his voice.

Ah, then he was right, it was no secret that the young demon had his heart out for the heiress for a long time now.



“Although I must admit I’m not happy with the choice, but as long as she is happy, it won’t really matter.” He sighed heavily, evidently showing his disappointment, and then turned to look at Sasuke. “So have you found anyone yet?”



“No, none of them are what I’m looking for.”



“True, most of them have passed their second heats, so none of them are ‘fresh’ enough.”



Sasuke grumbled, so that’s why it felt like something was missing from them. Submissives were an odd race; at their first heats they were more fertile, but as the years passed and the seasons changed, their scent got weaker and so did their fertility. While a dominant’s scent got heavier, and more desirable.



It was such a challenge to mate these days.



Sasuke sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. “I guess I could just leave then, there is no reason for me to stay here.”



He knew that his brother would be watching him from somewhere but he didn’t care, he had been here for a few hours, it was already getting dark, and he was tired from just standing there. So he left, noticing that the Hyuuga was right behind him.



“Are you following me Hyuuga?”



The leopard chuckled. “As you said, there is no one there of interest, so why waste time staying there?”



“Hn...”



They kept walking down the path that lead away from the meeting place back towards the village, and that’s when

Sasuke decided that he would rather not go home to be told off by his father. So he walked down another path; it was only after a few minutes that he noticed that the snow leopard was still following him. He arched ad eyebrow and was about to confront the Hyuuga, when an interesting scent caught his nose.



“What is that?!” Neji asked, also noticing the scent.



Sasuke didn’t answer him; he was too enthralled by the heavy scent hanging in the air, and a scent told a lot about the submissive. Sasuke could tell that this one was powerful, the chakra reach was similar to his own, and still so fresh, it was someone who had recently matured.



Dark orbs flickered red and glazed over as a dazed expression took over; he was already at the brink with his own heat, and this was just about to push him over the edge. Sasuke pulled all of his self-control together to take a step back, he couldn’t get enthralled by the scent no matter how sweet and promising it smelled.



But all of his self-control broke down when he saw Neji walking down the path following the calling, and the barriers he had set up crumbled in an instance and his primal instincts took over.



Whoever the owner of that delectable scent was is his and no one else’s!



A growl ripped through his throat, and he felt his nails elongate and sharpen; he roared, drawing the attention of the snow leopard. Neji didn’t even have a chance before Sasuke attacked him in mid-transformation, and pinned him against the ground with a growl.



“Mine!” he shouted.



And the fight began.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



Kakashi looked up from his book towards the hut. Naruto’s scent had changed again; it meant that the Kitsune was entering the last stages of his transformation, and his body was finally starting to adjust to the new changes.

The dog demon stood up and slowly went over towards Naruto’s hut; he peaked in through the open door and sighed worriedly.



The blonde Kitsune was whining, and panting in pain. He looked up with watery blue eyes and gave out another pitiful whine when he saw Kakashi.



“Onegai Chichi; tasuke!” Kakashi’s heart almost broke when Naruto called him ‘Chichi’, the Kitsune hadn’t called him that since he was a young pup. “Tsukuru ano itami saru! It hurts!” the blonde whimpered out.



“Shhh little one, the pain will pass by soon...” he said, grabbing a cloth and wiping the sweat off the fox’s brow.



“Itai...” Naruto gritted his teeth together.



“I know, I know, just bear with it a while longer,” Kakashi said back and gave a light smile, which Naruto tried to return, but then scrunched up his face as a new wave of pain spread through his body.



Kakashi sighed again and stood up wearily; it hurt not being able to help the little Kitsune, but it was a change that every male submissive went through. While female submissives already had the necessary ‘parts’, a male submissive would have to ‘grow’ them extra, which was a very painful process.



He tried to ignore the whimpers since there was really nothing he could do. Kakashi pulled down his mask and rubbed his face. He was so tired, it had been a long day and it was not getting any better, and that uneasy feeling had been welling up at the back of his mind for some time now, hadn’t left. Kakashi stepped outside the small hut; all of his senses were telling him that danger was approaching, even the winds were driving all sorts of scents his way, and it was making him feel uneas-



“GROOOWLL!!!”



Two beasts stumbled out of the forest growling and biting at each other, and landed at the clearing in front of the hut. Kakashi gasped when he saw the black Wolf and snow-white Leopard fighting in front of him. He recognized them instantly, demons from prominent clans, an Uchiha Wolf and a Hyuuga snow leopard.



But his biggest problem was that they were two very hormonal dominants!



He quickly ran back inside the hut and picked Naruto up, and placed him under the bed. “Stay here, okay pup?

Stay here and hide, and don’t come out ‘til I tell you to, alright?”



“Chichi?” the blonde whimpered fearfully.



“Shhh, be quiet pup, and stay hidden.” He quickly stood back up and ran towards the door, taking a peek outside; the two demons were still fighting forcefully, and blood and fur was scattered across the ground as the battle raged on.



Kakashi stepped out of the hut and locked the door behind him and began to transform, which drew the attention of the two demons towards him, and so a new fight broke out.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



Naruto didn’t know what was happening, his body was going from hot to cold and then there was the pain, sometimes it felt like his stomach was on fire, while other times it felt like the bones by his hips were being bent, and they ached in protest. Yet the hunger had grown worse since Kakashi had left, but he understood that whatever was outside could help him sate this hunger.



Growling and yelping could be heard outside; Naruto curled his tail around him when the distinctive tangy smell of coppery blood filled his sensitive nose. He whimpered again, but this time with fear. Glazed blue eyes peeked at the door; Kakashi had told him not to leave, but he was so curious to find out what was happening, maybe a peek couldn’t hurt?



Naruto bit his bottom lip and slowly crawled out from under the bed and moved carefully towards the door; about half-way there he noticed how badly his body was shaking from the strain. He gave a shaky sigh, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all?



“Yowl!” came the panicked cry from outside, and Naruto’s eyes widened when he recognized the owner of that voice.



“Chichi...?!”



=-=-=--=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-==-=



‘Ow! That was close, a bit more and he would have taken out my eye!’ Kakashi thought as he jumped away from the snow leopard’s sharp claws; he felt blood dripping down from the side of his face.



He twisted his body to the side and managed to avoid the wolf when he tried to pounce on him, and then went to pin the wolf down, only to be side-tackled by the leopard. Kakashi growled and tried to bite and scratch the demon off him; suddenly the leopard screeched, and he looked to the side to see the wolf biting the Hyuuga’s thigh.



This was his chance; Kakashi bit into the Hyuuga’s neck effectively stopping him, and then threw him with full force over him. This move took the Uchiha also by surprise and threw him off balance, and Kakashi rose quickly to grab the wolf’s tail and swung him against a nearby tree. The bitter taste and smell of blood was all he could sense right now, but he knew that the demons weren’t done yet, and they won’t stop ‘til one of them has mated with Naruto.



Kakashi turned his head when he heard growling; he saw the black wolf slowly rising up, bones popping into place as it slowly started to heal. Well it was expected, Uchiha’s were a tough clan, and they wouldn’t be easily defeated.



With all his attention focused on the Wolf, he didn’t notice the snow leopard slowly staggering up and limping towards the hut, using the confusion to his advantage. The scent was so strong around the place it was driving him crazy; he licked his lips, and his pale eyes glinted with fire. He looked up at the flimsy lock and with a quick snap of his powerful paw broke it.



Neji heard a light gasp and scrambling from inside, which sent his heart racing with excitement. He pushed at the door to open it to reveal...an empty room? No, the scent was the strongest here, the submissive must be here.



He stalked his way inside the small hut, craning his head from side to side to a have look around. It was shabby but cozy, with an area to make a fire, a table with three chairs beside a window. On the other half of the room was a bed; he stepped towards it and sniffed the covers, and a shiver went down his spine. Still fresh, but where was the submissive?



Pale eyes looked around for a place for the submissive to hide, but where...ah, under the bed of course! He bent down, feeling his shoulder ache from where the dog demon had bit him. Neji bowed his head and gasped in delight when he saw the delectable creature hiding there.



He recognized the submissive as a male Kitsune, with sunshine-blonde hair and wide sky blue eyes; smooth, delicious tanned skin from his thigh was exposed when his yukata rode up, and a bushy red tail wrapped around his waist. Red fur-tipped ears were flattened against his head as the blonde fox pushed himself as far back as possible.



Neji gave a light purr and was about to crawl under the bed, when Kakashi collided against him; the dog demon grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and swung him out of the hut with a fierce growl.



“Chichi!” Naruto shouted. Kakashi gave a warning growl which simply meant to ‘stay put’, and he ran back outside to deal with the leopard.



Sasuke, who was about to attack the leopard as well, stopped when he heard someone shouting ‘Chichi’, was that dog demon the submissive’s father? He had thought at first that the dog demon was another rival. Sasuke had let himself go so badly into his baser instincts that he had completely forgotten about tradition, you were always meant to ask the head of the family for their child’s hand (if possible), and not fight with them.



He watched the older demon slam Hyuuga hard against the ground, effectively knocking the leopard out, and then turn to look at him. Before he was attacked, he quickly transformed back, which made the dog demon hesitate in its movement. It looked up at him in confusion, craning its head to the side.



“I want to talk with you!” He saw the dog’s eyes widen, and then after a few seconds he slowly shifted back into his more human form, not bothering to hide his nakedness. (Well neither of them have any clothes)



Sasuke was stunned to see that the dog demon was no other then the notorious Hatake Kakashi, a high raking

Jounin demon; but he didn’t have any pups. Sasuke knew Kakashi had a husband, after all the brown-haired demon used to be his teacher, and he was sure that neither of them had children.



“Are you the submissive’s father?”



“Yes, I’m his father, Uchiha,” Kakashi replied.



‘His’? Well this was interesting, it was less likely to have male submissives, but they were just as desirable. “Then I’m asking for his hand in mating.”



“No.”



“No?!” Sasuke couldn’t believe it, most demons would be more than willing to have ties with the Uchiha clan, and so give up their offspring for mating.



“He isn’t ready, this is his first heat and I refuse to let him mate!” Kakashi snarled back.



“Chichi?”



They both turned around to look at the hut, where near the ground blue eyes peeked out; Sasuke was amazed to see how bright they were. There was no one in the village with such eyes.



“Stay inside, pup!” Kakashi shouted, and the blue eyes disappeared back behind the wooden wall. “As I said Uchiha, he’s not ready to be mated, so leave and come back another time.”



“I don’t think I can wait that long, Kakashi...”



“There is only one way to settle this then Uchiha, through a desumacchi.”



“’A ‘Death Match’?” Sasuke questioned.



Kakashi nodded. “Because it’s only over my dead body that you will get to him,” he snarled, and then transformed again into his animal form and pounced.



Sasuke reacted quickly and transformed as well, avoiding the older demon barely, before striking back. But he could tell that this fight was different; they were both near the end of their chakra reserve, so this was a fight that would decide it all. Sasuke mildly wondered if it was worth it, but when he reminded himself of those sparkly blue eyes, he thought that it was.



So he crouched down, straining his already weary muscles, and pounced. Kakashi did the same, and they caught each other mid-air, and the fight resumed.



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



Naruto was trembling fiercely; they were still fighting, but what he was most worried about was that they were fighting over him! No one should fight over him, especially not in a desumacchi! He didn’t want anyone to die for him, because that would mean that the things that the villagers said about him would be true...



/“It’s your fault!”/



It was one of those things you had no control over, it was something that happened before he was even born...



/“If it weren’t for you...”/



...But he was the outcome of it, that much he understood.



The wall behind him shook badly when something hit against the wood, he could hear it creak under the pressure and crack. Naruto quickly scrambled away from the wall, in the fear that it would collapse, and looked out of the door, and his eyes widened in shock.



The wolf had Kakashi subdued, and they were both in human form since their chakra levels were low, but the wolf had the upper hand. Pale hands were wrapped around Kakashi’s neck, tightening their grip slowly.



“Say that you give in!” growled the stranger. “I don’t want to kill you.”



“N-never!” Kakashi gasped out, as he tried to pry the other demon’s hands off him, but his chakra was low as well, and his vision was starting to spin from the lack of oxygen.



Naruto couldn’t take it anymore; he gritted his teeth together, and with an almighty “NO!” did he jump out from his hut and wrap his hands around the stranger’s arm. “Let him go, onegai!”



Sasuke turned to look at the little submissive and was stunned to see what a beauty he was; big blue eyes, sunshine-blonde hair, and pouty rosy lips that looked all too kissable. He was small and perfect.



“Onegai!” the Kitsune shouted again. “Please let him go, I’ll do anything!”



And with those words his fate was sealed.
