Chapter Thirty-One

----------A Few Months Later----------
Naruto eyed Sasuke's back warily as they traveled through the trees, actively searching for Itachi. Even though they were on good terms again, over the past month or so Sasuke had been getting edgier and edgier... and he wouldn't tell Naruto what was bothering him. Sasuke spent more time than he used to feeding, and when Naruto went hunting to supplement his stash of food he noticed a significant scarcity of wildlife... He was beginning to worry deeply about his best friend... boyfriend. It still felt strange to think of Sasuke like that but he most definitely wasn't opposed to it.
Pausing on a branch large enough to hold them both Sasuke knelt and gazed vacantly at the ground. The devoid look in his eyes meant that his mind was searching far and wide for his brother's own personal thought patterns, though Naruto still didn't understand that completely. Naruto probably only knew that Sasuke was doing something extra to aid their search. However, despite his best efforts and strongest force of will, his mind was only telling him where animals were and ... where humans were, though their psychic-signatures were far fainter since Naruto and Sasuke were so far out from the main villages. His eyes snapped back into focus as he felt his fangs lengthening and with a completely uncharacteristic growling scream he punched the trunk of the tree splintering the bark and wood and making the whole tree shake violently. When he pulled his fist away it dripped blood and each wound held a splinter. How could they not when the tree was so damaged?
Sighing Naruto silently took Sasuke's hand in his and began to calmly pull all the splinters out - again. He knew the wounds wouldn't heal until the wood was taken out and while loosing blood was bad for any living thing it was especially bad for Sasuke, and Naruto was not in the mood to see a ravenous Sasuke. The last time that had happened Naruto had almost lost his lunch when he saw the mangled carcasses Sasuke had taken his meal from.
But this time Sasuke jerked away his breathing labored suddenly. �Don't,� he said, his voice strained as he put his back to Naruto and cradled the hand close to his chest. He wanted to stem the bleeding to prevent loosing any more of his precious blood than he already had... but the deep red flow was so hypnotic... and the richly dark color was reminding him that he was undernourished as it were... though he didn't recognize that fact consciously.
Naruto rolled his eyes and leapt down out of the tree, deciding it was time to look for a new camp. Sasuke needed some time to get over whatever was bugging him... It didn't take Naruto long to find a thicket that was dense enough to block out all light. He cleared a patch under the thick foliage large enough for their bedrolls and sat down, waiting for Sasuke.
Hours ticked by and Sasuke still didn't show himself. He was hunting, Feeding on anything he could find, it wasn't enough, but it was very slowly assuaging his immediate Lust. He felt heavy and yet light-headed, and at the same time empty, devoid of anything unless he was feeling the Lust. Before he could escape it by staying close to Naruto with his absolute determination not to harm him. Now his will was weakening under the pressure of physical Need. He lifted his mouth from the neck of the last deer within miles of their recent campsite and licked the blood from his lips. He was getting messy... that was a bad sign.
�About time,� Naruto muttered when Sasuke finally showed up, worry clear in his eyes as he looked Sasuke over. There was blood smeared on his face and hands... and if Naruto looked carefully he could see a couple bloodstains on Sasuke's shirt. �You're all messy. How many did you have to eat this time?�
�Too many...� Sasuke murmured, his tone distant, and made right for his bedroll, stretching out and laying there with his back to Naruto. He was shaking very faintly, unnoticeably to the human eye, but to him the fine tremors where both visible and obnoxious for his inability to stop them. Now if he were to be touched however...
Sighing Naruto scooted closer. �What is with you lately? What's wrong?� he asked quietly, reaching out to brush Sasuke's bangs out of his face.
The shivers turned into a shudder at that faint caress. �Naruto...� he wanted to tell him not to be anywhere near him, but at the same time he wanted Naruto to hold him and make it all better. It was a childish and very dangerous desire, but he desired it nonetheless.
�Tell me what's wrong,� Naruto said firmly, tugging on a lock of hair to get Sasuke to look at him. �Don't make me force it out of you,� he threatened.
Sasuke did look at him, his eyes blood-colored in the dark that surrounded them. �It's... complicated... I need to go Feed,� he announced in a rush and made to get up. His system had already depleted the supply of nutrients from his recent feeding. He was expending energy and power searching for Itachi with every sense available to him, but not replenishing that power or backing it with nutrition any longer. His system was spiraling for a crash... and he was completely unaware of it, the Blood Lust beginning to cloud his usually clear thinking.
�But you just ate!� Naruto protested, grabbing Sasuke's arm and forcing him to at least stay seated. �A lot!! Tell me what's wrong!! Maybe I can help!! Don't you dare get all ice-bastardish on me now...� he growled in warning.
He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He could hear Naruto's heartbeat, the blood rushing through his veins and arteries... could smell the coppery tang of it... Sasuke jerked his gaze from Naruto's throat. The urge to snap at Naruto for sticking his nose in Sasuke's business was rising, but the urge to Feed was stronger and he tried to stand again. �Naruto... I have to Feed...� the Sharingan meets wide blue eyes.
�Well, apparently that's not going to help very much! Not if you last meal didn't do squat!!� Naruto snapped, yanking on Sasuke's arm to keep him from getting up. �Sasuke, you're practically killing every single animal within a 10-mile radius of our path!! What. Is. Wrong?!?! I'm not letting you go anywhere until you tell me!!!�
�I need blood....� he stated, not fighting Naruto's hold yet. �I need blood... badly.� He shook his head and tried to clarify. �Human blood...� The pull to Feed again was getting stronger and it was backed now by a hint of Blood Lust, the Sharingan having already been activated as a warning.
�Well why didn't you say so before?! Aho...� Naruto grumbled, pulling a kunai out of his pouch and making a deep cut on his wrist. Unceremoniously, he held out his arm towards Sasuke. �Hurry up before it heals,� he ordered.
Sasuke had Naruto pinned flat on his back with one very hungry vampire straddling the blond's waist in an instant. The cut on Naruto's wrist be damned, his tongue found the soft, sensitive flesh of Naruto's throat even as his mind reached for the fox-boy's mind pulling mental strings and covering the prick of hungry fangs with a wave of pleasure.
Naruto had been getting ready to yell at Sasuke when the wave of pleasure hit, making him grunt in surprise and his hands clench in a deathgrip on Sasuke's shoulders. He shivered at the feel of Sasuke drinking from his neck, barely noticing when his wrist healed. This situation was... very arousing and a moan escaped him as he shifted a bit, trying to ease the building pressure in his groin.
The only thing he was aware of at the moment, was the willing body beneath him, easing the building pressure of his Blood Lust. But after only a few swallows of Naruto's blood, he felt completely satiated. He was tempted to continue drinking, but then common sense kicked in and he jerked back careful not to hurt Naruto as he did so. �Naruto! Why did you...� he began to ask when a sudden wave of heated-dizziness washed over his body and mind. It made him totter unsteadily.
�Huh...?� Naruto mumbled dazedly, having to blink a couple times and force his brain to turn on again before realizing that Sasuke had gotten off him. He almost pouted at the loss, but then he noticed that Sasuke wasn't exactly... balanced at the moment. �Hey, you okay?�
�I... I've never...� he teetered and his eyelids drooped suddenly as that warmth washed over him again. He felt... odd. Sort of felt how... the adults had always looked when they were drunk... and that was the last coherent thought in his mind as the Sharingan dissipated while his eyes rolled back into his head and he pitched limply backwards.
�Sasuke?! Ohmigod, Sasuke!!� Naruto was at his side in an instant, checking him over to make sure his best friend hadn't died on him. ...Well, really died, not Resting died. He was rather surprised to find that Sasuke had a very strong pulse at the moment. That wasn't normal. Nor was the odd passed-out-drunk look on his face. �Sasuke!!� he called, shaking him roughly by the shoulder. �Sasuke, wake up!!�
There wasn't any response at all. Sasuke didn't even move. He was still breathing, still warm, but he didn't even twitch at Naruto's frantic efforts to wake him.
For the next hour Naruto continued to shake Sasuke and yell at him to wake up, getting more panicked and frantic by the minute. He was beginning to seriously consider looking for outside help when he noticed Sasuke stir a bit. �Sasuke!! Sasuke, wake up!!�
Again Sasuke shifted... and then his eyes slowly slid open. He looked drowsy, but lucid, if a little confused.
�You're alive!!� Naruto cheered, throwing his arms around Sasuke's neck and just about squeezing the life out of him (Naruto no baka...). �You scared the crap out of me!!�
Sasuke accepted the hug, wrapping his arms around Naruto's body and holding him back tightly, but he was perplexed. He didn't remember much more than some severe discomfort after returning from feeding and then... Warmth� and sweetness. �What happened?� he asked softly, still not roused enough to think it all out himself.
�You passed out!� Naruto reminded him, burying his nose in Sasuke's hair as his grip tightened. �I just about had a heart attack...�
�Oh...� Sasuke shook his head a little and pressed his mouth and nose to Naruto's shoulder, his own arms tightening about the blond. Things were slowly becoming clearer to him and he couldn't help but murmur into Naruto's ear, �Your blood... is the most intoxicating thing I've ever had...� he felt pleasantly relaxed. Relieved of the fear of hurting Naruto and for some reason... he felt oddly stronger, as if his power boundaries had been expanded out of the blue.
There was a pause... and then, �You mean I'm like a bottle of sake or something?� Naruto really needed to start spending less time around the Sannin.
Pulling away Sasuke looked him right in the eyes and then caressed his cheek with the back of his right knuckles. �Something like that... it's this...� and he dropped that hand to Naruto's belly pressing his palm over Naruto's seal. �I think.�
�What? Kyuubi? What does that damn fox have to do with you passing out after drinking my blood?� Naruto did his best to ignore the tiny shivers that radiated from Sasuke's touch low on his stomach.
The shivers, normally unnoticed, seemed blatant to him and feeling a little bold Sasuke let his hand slide up under Naruto's clothes to caress the seal over Naruto's stomach while pulling Naruto closer. �His power... is your power, ne? Your co-mingled with him... and it turns up - potently - in you blood it would seem...� and Sasuke's tongue darted out to caress lips still slightly reddened by Feeding at the memory.
Naruto playfully smacked Sasuke's hand away from his stomach, razzing him before asking, �Does that mean you're gonna faint every time I have to play blood bank?�
Sasuke wrapped that arm around Naruto again tilted his face closer to Naruto's. �No... Well, for a while anyway... until I get used to it...� his mind was easily on other things. Like kissing those insolent lips.
�Damn. You mean I won't always be able to use it as a way to shut you up?� Naruto teased, letting himself settle comfortably on top of Sasuke. Now that he wasn't panicking anymore he realized he had yet something else to tease Sasuke with... for a while, anyway.
�Sorry. No,� he said bluntly and then rolled onto his side. His lips brushed Naruto's softly and then Sasuke rubbed noses with him a little. There was this sensation of afterglow hanging around his body that reminded him of good sex, even though he'd only Fed from Naruto.
�Double damn,� Naruto pouted, happily nuzzling back and cuddling close. He absolutely loved it when Sasuke was affectionate with him, and even though it was a common occurrence Naruto never got tired of it. In fact the more time passed the more he craved it, to the point where sometimes he would tease Sasuke with light touches and brief kisses during their flight through the trees.
Sighing a little Sasuke rested his forehead to Naruto's their hitai-ate clicking quietly. �I love you...� he murmured feeling the need to say it after Naruto so boldly - or was it stupidly - risked Sasuke not being able to stop drinking.
Naruto responded with a slow, sweet kiss. He wasn't quite ready yet to say those words back, though he knew now without a doubt that he did love Sasuke. He was afraid that something would force Sasuke to leave him if he said it aloud... and he knew it was an irrational fear, but it was there.
Sasuke kissed him back tenderly, willing to wait for the day when Naruto would be ready to say those words back. Some small part of him chilled with the fear that that day might never come, but the rest of him pushed that aside relying on confidence for now, confidence that Naruto just needed a little more time.
�So, you're okay now?� Naruto asked when they broke the kiss. �Your brain is fully functioning again?� he teased with a small fox-grin.
�Hai...� he muttered and nipped Naruto's throat lazily, the motion seductive in itself. He was still feeling mostly euphoric from the rush Naruto's blood had given him. He actually wanted more... right now, even though he didn't need it.
�And you're not going to wait and empty the forest before coming to me when you're hungry for human blood, right?� Naruto said firmly, tugging on a lock of Sasuke's hair to make sure he had his attention. He did not want a repeat of the last month, watching Sasuke get all grouchy and snappish. �'Cause I'd kinda like a rabbit every once in a while, but if you're draining them all then I'm outta luck.�
Black eyes met brilliant blue and he smirked a little. �Would you like me to catch you a rabbit for dinner then?� he asked in a low voice as the tip of his nose brushed the tip of Naruto's again.
�You didn't answer the question,� Naruto growled half-heartedly, poking Sasuke in the ribs and pulling his face father away from Sasuke's.
�I won't wait to come to you for blood...� he promised and lowered his mouth to Naruto's throat again a lot more interested in that than making promises about his newly readjusted feeding habits. Naruto was definitely going to be one of his main sources for a meal now. His veins were zinging with the energy Naruto's blood had given him but it was a zing that he was content to lounge with. Sasuke's tongue lapped out and caressed Naruto's pulse slowly.
�Hey! That doesn't mean you can drink whenever you want!� Naruto protested with a laugh, wriggling away from Sasuke playfully and getting out of his immediate reach.
Sasuke sat up, onyx eyes following Naruto's every move as he tossed one raven's wing bang back into place. �You said I could come to you for blood...� he stated and leaned forward, reaching out so that his fingertips brushed Naruto's collarbone through his shirt and came to rest over the blond's heart lightly.
�Yeah, but only when you need it, baka,� Naruto taunted with a grin, playfully swatting Sasuke's hand away and scooting back a bit. It was fun to make Sasuke work to touch him and for his attention.
With a lazy smirk Sasuke vanished from immediate sight and ended up behind Naruto wrapping his arms around the Chuunin pulling him back and holding him tightly against his chest as his nose nuzzled the back of one of the fox-holder's ears. �What about ... if I just want a sip... every now and then?� he murmured, warm breath caressing the sensitive skin behind Naruto's ear.
�I'll think about it. Especially when you're getting on my nerves,� Naruto teased, purring quietly as he leaned into the nuzzle. His hands settled on Sasuke's arms and he leaned back into Sasuke's chest, shifting a little to get more comfortable and to maximize contact.
Sasuke resettled his legs so that he was kneeling comfortably with one folded leg to either side of Naruto's body. Warm lips and gentle teeth tugged at Naruto's earlobe languidly. It hadn't dawned on him yet, in his remaining state of afterglow, that Naruto's blood had had more than an appetite appeasing effect on him.
Purring louder Naruto tipped his head to the side a bit to give Sasuke better access to his ear. His eyes slid closed as he shut out everything but the warmth against his back and the sensations radiating from where Sasuke was playing with his earlobe. One of his hands came up to tangle loosely in the hair at the nape of Sasuke's neck.
Quite pleased with that response out of his chosen mate, Sasuke left Naruto's earlobe to glide his teeth along the muscle running the side of Naruto's neck gently, closing his lips after every "bite" to ease the scrape of teeth with a kiss. One arm meanwhile slipped from beneath Naruto's hands and dropped low enough that Sasuke's hand could slide under his shirt to caress Naruto's smooth firm tummy.
Tiny shivers radiated from where Sasuke was caressing Naruto's stomach and he turned his head just enough to nip lazily at Sasuke's jaw. The fingers in Sasuke's hair tightened gently while Naruto's other hand settled over Sasuke's on his stomach, lacing their fingers together.
His fingers tightened a little in Naruto's and he drew his head back enough that he could tilt it. He caught Naruto's lips that way and kissed him with a leisurely passion. Just holding Naruto like this heated his blood and made him hypersensitive to the blond's slightest movement. It was an awareness that he relished.
Naruto eagerly returned the kiss, dropping gentle bites along Sasuke's bottom lip. He turned a bit so that his neck wasn't so twisted and the hand in Sasuke's hair slid down to loop around Sasuke's waist, pulling him even closer.
Sasuke murred as Naruto gave himself over a little more to the moment and he broke the kiss, lapping at Naruto's mouth once before murmuring, �So... what exactly did you learn from Icha Icha Paradise?� he murmured his voice semi-mirthful and mostly seductive.
Laughing Naruto shook his head. �Not telling!� he sing-songed with a grin. He didn't blush anymore when Sasuke asked him that.
�Not even one?� he asked his nose caressing Naruto's cheek softly.
�Nope!�
Sasuke nipped the tip of Naruto's nose. �Stingy...� he growled and then lowered his teeth to Naruto's bottom lip. It seemed his mind was set on one track and wasn't planning on wandering away from it any time soon.
�M'not stingy... you're just not askin' the right way,� Naruto teased, licking Sasuke's lips plaufully.
�Oh?� he purred and licked at Naruto's tongue in retaliation. �And what would be the right way to ask then?�
�You're the genius, figure it out!� Naruto said with a fix-grin. It was soooooooo much fun to mess with Sasuke like this.
A soft sigh puffed against Naruto's mouth... and then Naruto found himself on his back with his hands pinned above his head and his shirt hiked up to his neck and Sasuke's head lowering to his belly to lick once at Naruto's seal-wrapped naval. �Please...� he purred as he rested his cheek on Naruto's stomach and looked up into big blue eyes.
Blushing bright red Naruto stared at him with wide eyes. �Now that's not fair...� he whimpered, squirming a bit as he tried to get free. Unfortunately for him Sasuke's grip was far too strong for even him to get out of. �Cheater...�
�You brought it upon yourself...� he muttered and turned his nose into Naruto's stomach nuzzling with nose and hot breath while never breaking eye-contact, his black gaze intense. �I said please...�
�And I kinda need my hands in order to show you anything...� Naruto pointed out, trying again to tug his hands free from Sasuke's.
�Or do you just need them so you can run away again?� he challenged, his voice still set low, alluring.
::Chikuso...:: Naruto turned his gaze away from Sasuke, looking a bit sheepish. As much as he joked about it Naruto still didn't feel quite ready to go to the next step... not that Sasuke wasn't able to make him highly aroused. He just wasn't ready to take their relationship to the next level. That and he wasn't sure he'd be able to keep Sasuke if they went to the next level. After all, this was all a new experience to Naruto while Sasuke undoubtedly had experience (how could he not when he'd ended up so gorgeous?!).
Sensing something wasn't right any more, Sasuke slid up Naruto's body his own stretched out by and pressed to Naruto's side. �Naruto...� he asked gently, releasing Naruto's hands and righting his shirt fast enough that the blond couldn't get away before he was pulled into the warm embrace of Sasuke's arms. �What is it that you're so afraid of?�
�Nothing,� Naruto muttered stubbornly, refusing to look Sasuke in the face.
�Don't be belligerent...� he demanded softly and reached over to cup Naruto's chin and forced the blond to face him. �You don't run away from anything... except me. Or rather your feelings concerning me. That's enough. Tell me what's bothering you, Naruto.�
Naruto still kept his eyes averted, his face set with stubborness. �I'm just not ready yet, alright?� he said shortly, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
�Then tell me that,� Sasuke stated bluntly. �You can talk to me,� he added and then simply pulled Naruto to him more snugly tucking the other boy's head under his chin and simply held him.
Relieved that Sasuke wasn't going to drag anything else out of him Naruto just let himself be held, his arms wrapped around Sasuke's middle. He spent the rest of the night soaking in Sasuke's warmth and comfort.
