The Lost Neko
Chapter 3
Naruto lay under the tree for what felt felt like days but was actually only a couple of hours. The rain slowly soaked into his fur making him cold. Maybe he had acted rashly when he had left, if he had stayed maybe he could have somehow convinced Iruka to not take him back to the vets. Naruto heaved a sigh and slowly pushed himself back to his feet. He doubted he could convince Iruka of anything, his mind had seemed made up to Naruto.
Even as he sat there, Naruto could feel someone watching him, and while Naruto silently looked around, he couldn't see anyone but someone was there he could feel it. Taking a deep breath Naruto released it slowly. He was uncertain of where he could go from here but he had the feeling he needed to find somewhere safe and soon.
Naruto wondered if the silver haired man would care if he slept on the doorstep this evening. He knew Iruka would most likely be home by now and Naruto didn't really want to see him at the moment. Naruto knew it was the silver haired man he should be mad at and not Iruka, but Naruto couldn't help but blame the one who had saved him. The man hadn't argued enough to even convince the silver haired man to let him live.
Sighing, Naruto knew he had to go back, at least for the night. He hated to admit it but he was starting to feel afraid. Naruto didn't know how to explain it but there was something unfriendly out in the streets. Naruto could feel the evil around him, almost like it was something tangible.
Scowling Naruto began to limp his way back towards the apartment complex, hoping that neither Sasuke or his brother were around. Naruto didn't want to bother them and he knew that neither would be to open to having him around, neither were very friendly.
Knowing that he didn't really have much of a choice, Naruto slowly made his way toward the apartment, when he reached the door, he found the door locked and the lights out.
"Guess they really don't want me here" Naruto murmured mournfully as he settled in on the doorstep. Leaning back against the door, Naruto allowed his eyes to close, feeling more tired by the moment. He had been under more stress than he knew what to do with lately. Naruto found himself quickly drifting off to sleep, more exhausted than he had ever been in his life.
He woke up a few hours later, drenched in rain water and shivering from the cold. Naruto wasn't sure why but the strong sense of danger was only growing stronger and was enough to keep him awake. He didn't know why but he could swear that he felt Menma's presence from somewhere close by. Naruto couldn't help but wonder what the older man was up too. Did he hate Naruto so much that he wanted to see him destroyed? Naruto lay awake for the next few hours thinking about it.
As he watched the sun begin to rise Naruto as concentrating on the brilliant colors filling they sky. Suddenly Naruto found himself falling backwards as the door he was leaning against opened, Naruto fell into the apartment, landing on his back with a thud.
The exhausted Neko found himself staring up into Sasuke's coal black eyes, Naruto couldn't help but feel intrigued by the coolness that Sasuke directed at him.
"So you returned" Sasuke said, his face going blank when he saw the curious look in the younger Neko's eyes. "If you wanted to live you should have stayed away." Sasuke said gruffly forcing the blonde Neko to look away.
Naruto sighed and managed to get to his feet, before limping over to the couch, his eyes downcast and a little duller than they were a moment before.
Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the neko in front of him. He didn't like seeing the boy so dejected. Frowning Sasuke couldn't help but wonder why he even cared. If it had been anyone else he wouldn't have cared one way or the other about what happened to them. Still Sasuke knew that there was something about the blondes slumped shoulders and the depressed look in his eyes that bothered him.
"Is Sasuke actually starting to care about someone?" Itachi asked from his place in the shadows of the staircase.
"Not likely" Sasuke muttered as he walked into the bathroom and grabbed a towel before exiting the room and crossing over to the couch where Naruto was currently sitting. Sasuke stood before the shivering Neko for a moment before handing him the towel.
"Why'd you come back?" Sasuke finally asked.
"Iruka is the only one who has ever been kind to me." Naruto answered quietly without meeting Sasuke's eyes. "I guess even if I do get put down it was nice knowing that someone actually cared whether I lived or died." Naruto added so quietly that Sasuke barely heard him as he headed up the stairs.
Naruto sighed as he wrapped the towel around him once Sasuke had disappeared. He stared blankly at the floor unable to stop the numbness that was beginning to to filter through him. If no one cared whether he lived or died then why should he? Naruto could feel Itachi's eyes on his back but he couldn't the strength to care. It was like Naruto's will power had been sucked out of him, leaving only an empty shell behind.
Closing his eyes, Naruto curled up into a ball as much as his injured paw would allow him to. As he drifted off to sleep, Naruto could swear that he still felt someone watching him.
A couple hours later Naruto woke up to someone poking him in the ribs.
"Cut it out" Naruto muttered, opening an eye to see who was annoying him.
"Get up, stupid" Sasuke said, when he noticed Naruto watching him. Naruto frowned as Sasuke walked away wondering what Sasuke's sudden interest in him was all about.
"If you want to eat, I suggest you come on." Sasuke said from the dining room. Naruto yawned widely, his fangs sticking out a bit before he closed his mouth.
Slowly Naruto pushed himself to his feet and began slowly making his way into the dining room. As he sat down beside Itachi at the table, Naruto ignored the surprised look on Kakashi's face.
"So you came back" Kakashi said thoughtfully.
"I didn't have anywhere else to go" Naruto said softly.
"You could have gone back to your previous owner." Itachi said causing Naruto to freeze at his words. Naruto frowned he couldn't help but wonder if Sasuke and Itachi knew anything about his last owner. Surely if they did they wouldn't keep making remarks like that.
After a couple of minutes Naruto began eating again. He couldn't let Sasuke or Itachi bother him, he knew very well that neither wanted him there. He couldn't exactly help his current situation.
Dropping his eyes to the table, refusing to look at anyone. He could still feel both Sasuke and Itachi watching him closely, making him want to find a place and hide. He didn't like being made to feel uncomfortable and that is exactly what both Sasuke and Kakashi were doing.
A few minutes later, Naruto's ears twitched as he heard someone else enter the room, a few second's later Iruka's scent filled Naruto's nostrils.
"You came back!" Iruka said and Naruto could hear the surprise in Iruka's voice. Naruto said nothing unsure of how he should feel at the moment. Iruka had been the only human to be kind to him, knowing Iruka had been willing to have him put down didn't make it any easier to face the man.
"You could be a little grateful you know" Sasuke said eyeing the blank expression on Naruto's face. "Kakashi decided Iruka could keep you for the time being." Naruto looked up and gave Iruka a small smile. He may not like how his life was going at the moment but maybe he could still somehow change Iruka's. (though that was as likely as having Sasuke fall in love with him.)
"I'm glad your back" Iruka said softly reaching out and touching Naruto's ears softly. "I was worried about you being out in the rain last night." Naruto frowned. Did Iruka really want him around? Naruto couldn't help the tears that filled his eyes. Even with his previous owner, Naruto had never really felt wanted.
"Crybaby" Naruto heard Sasuke snicker. Sighing, Naruto pushed his food away and stood up, slowly limping out of the room, back to the couch. Naruto lay back down on the couch. How could someone as beautiful as Sasuke be filled with so much bitterness? Did the other male neko really hate him so much already?
"Do you really get insulted so easily?" a harsh voice asked as Naruto looked up to see Sasuke scowling down at him.
"I didn't see any point in staying in there since you didn't want me there." Naruto replied.
"Does my opinion matter that much?" Sasuke wondered out loud causing Naruto to blush and confirm that his opinion did matter. Seeing the red tint to Naruto's cheeks Sasuke scowled and headed back towards the kitchen. But not before muttering loud enough for Naruto to hear.
"I'm not looking for a mate and even if I was, I wouldn't choose you." Sasuke glared over his shoulder before disappearing into the other room.
Naruto could feel the sting of Sasuke's words for several minutes. Making Naruto wonder if he would have been better off on the streets. Would he ever find someone to love him the way he was?
Six weeks later
Naruto found himself back at Tsunade's vet practice with Iruka. The time to get the cast removed was finally here, and the blonde neko didn't think he would be able to sit still for long. He was ready for the cast to be gone even though he knew he would likely walk with a limp for the rest of his life.
It had taken a little while, but Naruto was finally looking healthier, he wasn't as skinny as he first was when Iruka had found him. You could no longer see the neko's ribs sticking out and his and fur actually had a healthier shine to it. Living with Iruka and Kakashi was proving to be good for Naruto. However living with Sasuke was proving to be stressful. Sasuke and Naruto fought often, thankfully they never injured the other seriously. Kakashi seemed to think that the fighting between the two was because Sasuke was attracted to the younger male and he was fighting it.
Iruka couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of his stoic neko finally finding a willing mate that he couldn't scare off. Sasuke was a very good looking Neko and had had several offers to make but Sasuke refused everyone. Iruka never thought that Sasuke would ever accept another neko, especially a male neko. Naruto was proving that theory wrong, he was slowly drawing out emotions from Sasuke that Iruka had never seen before. Iruka was glad that he had stumbled upon Naruto in the forest. Naruto was slowly opening Sasuke's heart, something that Iruka hadn't thought possible.
"Nervous?" Iruka asked the neko sitting beside him, his ears twitching as he took in the activity around him.
"Not really" Naruto answered "I'll be glad to be able to walk around without having to drag my foot."
"I bet" Iruka said, he could imagine how difficult it was for Naruto to get around. Naruto had been painfully shy when Iruka had brought him home, Sasuke was slowly changing that, whether he knew it or not.
Sighing, Iruka's thoughts returned to when Naruto had run away. Iruka had known that Kakashi wouldn't like him bringing another neko home, but what should Iruka have done? Leave the neko suffering out in the cold? There was no way the kind hearted man could do that. Iruka had never thought his lover would try to make him put the creature down. Just because Kakashi's own neko's had a hard time being around unknown neko's. Harsh words had been spoken and Iruka was left with the choice, have the neko put to sleep or find another lover. Unknown to Iruka Naruto must have overheard their conversation because when Iruka got home from work and had gone to talk to Naruto, the blonde neko was nowhere to be found.
Iruka spend the next several hours lying in bed and crying and refusing to talk to Kakashi. He couldn't stop worrying about where the injured neko would end up and if he was safe and warm. It hurt to think about the condition that Naruto had been found in and knowing that Naruto didn't have anyone to love or care for him hurt even more.
Eventually Kakashi had gotten tired of listening to Iruka cry and told him that if the neko could be found he could stay. Kakashi had explained what Itachi had told him about Sasuke being attracted to Naruto. Iruka wasn't so certain and he didn't want Sasuke to hurt Naruto.
The next morning Iruka had gotten up and had gotten ready for work. He walked past the couch without bothering to see why Sasuke was standing there with a towel in his hand. Iruka shook his head clearing his head of his thoughts, when he heard Naruto's name being called. Standing, Iruka helped Naruto to his feet and helped him into the treatment room.
"You're looking better!" Tsuande said as Iruka helped Naruto up onto an examination table.
"Good food helps" Naruto said grinning at her. Iruka smile while watching Naruto banter back and forth with the vet.
Suddenly Naruto's demeanor changed as he sensed another presence in the room. Naruto's ear's lay flat against his head and he hissed, a dark scowl on his face.
Turning to face Menma, Naruto snapped at Menma's hand as the man reached out to touch him. Iruka frowned at Naruto's sudden behavior, he hadn't expected his neko to be so violent. Naruto hissed again as Menma got closer.
"Naruto, knock it off" Iruka snapped embarrassed by the neko's behavior. He approached the examination table, Naruto's ears were flattened and his tail sticking straight out, indicating that the neko was seriously pissed.
"Some Neko's don't like getting their casts off." Menma told Iruka lamely. "He's not the first one to act this way." Naruto scowled, his eyes watching every move that Menma made. What did he want? Why was he here now?
Iruka reached out, unafraid of the anger burning in the neko's eyes, and grabbed him by the neck, making the unsuspecting neko yelp.
"Settle down" Iruka hissed as Tsunade and Menma approached. Naruto glared but refused to settle, he didn't care what Iruka done to him but he didn't trust Menma.
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to wait in the other room" Menma told Iruka as he slid a muzzle over Naruto's face. Iruka nodded wondering what had upset his neko so much that he would attack like this.
"He'll be fine, we are just going to remove the cast and do a couple x-rays on his leg." Menma told the concerned Iruka, who nodded and turned to exit the room.
Naruto watched Iruka leave and wanted to cry, he didn't know what Menma had in store but it couldn't be good.
"Be still" Menma hissed at Naruto as he began the process of removing the cast. "I wouldn't want to accidently cut your leg off." Naruto glared and hissed through the muzzle.
Menma smirked evilly as he allowed the saw blade to slip and bite into Naruto's leg. The neko cried out in pain and hissed again, his claws coming unsheathed. Once the cast was removed, Naruto growled, low in his throat, exhausted from his experience.
Menma stared at the cut he had made on Naruto's paw, he knew that it wouldn't bleed too much but it would cause Naruto to have trouble walking until it healed.
"Just remember" Menma said bending down and whispering in Naruto's ear. "The fun is just beginning, I am nowhere near over. I am going to make you wish you were dead." Naruto glared as Menma undone the muzzle and yanked it off as roughly as possible, causing Naruto to yelp.
"See you next time." Menma smiled while Naruto glared. Standing Naruto checked the wound on his foot, it wasn't too bad. Naruto slowly limped his way out to meet, Iruka who glared at him as they started on their way home. Iruka didn't seem to notice anything was wrong with the neko, he knew that the neko would likely limp because of how bad the break to his leg had been, so he figured the neko limping slowly was normal. Naruto worked hard to keep his pained expression hidden, he wasn't sure why but he didn't think now would be a good time to bring up the fact that he had left the vet's practice injured.
"What the heck got into you?" Iruka asked as they made their way towards the apartment building. "That assistant was there to help with the removal of the cast. Naruto groaned he wished he could explain that Menma hadn't just been an assistant he had made Naruto's life hell when he had lived with his previous owner.
"There is a reason" Naruto muttered sullenly as they entered the house.
"I would like to know what possible reason you have for treating him like that!" Iruka yelled catching Sasuke and Itachi's attention.
"I don't want to share that right now" Naruto muttered as he caught Sasuke and Itachi watching him.
"Fine" Iruka growled glaring at him, and storming into the kitchen leaving Naruto to make his way back to his own room. Naruto sighed as he felt his ears and tail droop. He had never felt so bad in his life, he hadn't intended for any of that to happen.
Naruto made his way past Sasuke and entered his room, closing the door behind him. Sighing, Naruto turned and sat behind the door. His paw was still bleeding but it wasn't as bad as had been. Naruto couldn't help but feel like he was nothing but a disappointment, like he wasn't meant to live in a family type home. Would Iruka want to have him put down since he had shown that he could be violent?
Sasuke and Itachi were sitting in the living room, playing a video game when Naruto and Iruka returned from Naruto's vet apointment. What surprised Sasuke the most was that Iruka was yelling at Naruto and the blonde neko just stood there taking it while looking completely depressed.
Finally after a couple of minutes, Iruka stormed off and Naruto walked past Sasuke and Itachi and headed towards his room. As he walked past Sasuke, Sasuke caught the scent of blood, making him frown. Sasuke watched Naruto enter his room and close the door behind him.
"Did you smell that?" Sasuke asked Itachi who had watched the scene between Naruto and Iruka.
"Smell what?" Itachi asked.
"Blood" Sasuke said grimly wondering just what had happened to leave Iruka angry and the blonde neko bleeding.
