A/N: First off, sorry for the long wait! This chapter was really stubborn as I was writing it, and I think it kind of turned out weird... Anywho, someone needs to wash Sasuke's mouth out with soap! You'll see why once you've read this chapter XD Also, the term vulpes quis translates to, quite literally, “fox-man”. It's a creature from some of my stories I've been working on for quite some time and it fit too well with Naruto for me to pass it up :P I'll explain more in detail as we go, but it's a shapeshifting fox. Oh, and Naru-chan's gonna be a bit OOC in this-- he's not quite the rambunctious troublemaker we all know, but I hope you'll find him smexy enough to forgive the inaccuracy :D For that matter, neither Sasu-chan or Ita-chan are very in-character either... Ah, well XD

Something about AFF's uploading system keeps fucking with my formatting. I apologize for the gaps between paragraphs... I'll see if I can fix it somehow.

As usual, reviewers are much loved and showered with digital kisses :3 Thanks again to those of you who've reviewed thus far!

Chapter 4:

Okay, Sasuke, stay calm. Breathe. You're an Uchiha, right? You're smart enough to be able to think up a way out of this mess. Let's run the basic problems that need to be solved. Maybe if you organize it all in your head, you'll feel a little less panicky... Hah. Right.

After staring uselessly at the sleeping man... demon... monster... thing for far longer than was healthy, Sasuke had finally managed to tear his gaze away, check to make sure Itachi was still breathing, and sit down to strategize. So far, so not good, but maybe listing what needed to be worked out would help after all...

My brother is unconscious and needs to get to a hospital pronto. Fuck... bad place to start. I've already done the best I can with that remedial first aid training they gave all of us back in junior high. He's breathing without problem and the bleeding's stopped at least. Just gotta worry about brain injuries now... damn. Can't do much to fix that. Next one.

His gaze involuntarily shifted to their... uh... host. I'm stuck in a cave with some sort of weird shapeshifting creature that is rather conveniently blocking the exit with his freakishly gorgeous body... wait, what?! I didn't think that! I swear, there's nothing at all special about those muscles... that tanned skin... that ass-- okay, I'm done! I'm done! Now... let's see if there's a way around him. Maybe I could just, like, step over him or something...

The teen crept over towards the prone body, biting his lip as he stopped mere inches from one long, perfectly shaped leg. Slowly lifting his own skinny, denim clad limb, Sasuke held his breath as he went to step over the beast...

… only to bite back a squeak of pure terror as it-- he-- let out a soft growling noise and rolled onto its-- his-- side, wrapping both arms around the teen's lifted leg and drawing it in closer to, in Sasuke's mind, gnaw on. But no, the golden-haired being simply... cuddled with it for a few moments before apparently slipping back into Dreamland with sinewy arms still wrapped quite snugly around its new toy.

A bead of sweat slowly rolled down the Uchiha's neck as he struggled not to move or make a sound. Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK. Good going, Einstein! That was a perfect fucking plan, huh?! And now you're stuck with a limb you kind of need to run away being used as a teddy bear by some mutant werefox thing that shouldn't even exist! Great story to tell the grandkids one day, huh? Asshole.

… He really needed to get out of the cave. There was no telling how much longer he could put up with being verbally abused by his own subconscious.

Gotta extract my leg... Sasuke let out a very small, very disgruntled noise as he tried to pull it free, only to have the grip tighten. Damn... I think... I might be able to slide it free if he didn't have a hold of my jeans... An idea popped into the teen's head, one that would be entirely too embarrassing but it could actually work if he moved carefully enough. Looking around, he spotted a tree limb that was roughly the same width as his calf.

He sort of hopped on his free leg towards it a bit and crouched down, straining for the piece of wood with all his might at the same time as trying not to move his other leg. A muscle twinged in his lower back, causing one long-lashed eye to twitch at the unexpected pain, but he did at least manage to get a hold on the branch. Now, if he could just pull his leg out of the pants and replace it with the stick fast enough... maybe his captor wouldn't notice...?

Now that he had a plan-- albeit a truly idiotic and risky one-- Sasuke could at least breathe a little easier. That is, until he turned back towards the beast to try and implement his plan only to see those bright eyes wide open and completely focused on him. And to make matters worse, there was an amused glint in with the blue, as if the creature knew exactly what the Uchiha was thinking. One tanned hand lifted and casually grabbed the stick, easily pulling it from Sasuke's suddenly weak grasp. Letting out a little noise of utter fear, the teen suddenly wished he'd just conked the blond over the head while he'd had the chance and run away. Too late for that, apparently.

And then the thing's full lips parted, but instead of some sort of animalistic sound, he began to speak in a smooth, deep rumble.

“You really aren't very smart, are you?”

Later on, Sasuke would vehemently swear that the sound he'd let out at that point was not a scream, but at the moment he was too shocked and scared to think very clearly. It talked. It talked! Oh man oh man oh man, I'm so screwed! I gotta get away! FUUUCK! He turned blindly towards the back of the cave, the only direction that wasn't now blocked off by the man, and tried to run. Of course, running kind of requires two legs and he'd completely forgotten that one of said limbs was still being held by the now-laughing menace.

He lost his balance and fell hard, unable to breathe for a moment as his chest connected with the ground. Laying there, stunned, all he could hear was that rich chuckle behind him. A tug on his ankle quickly woke him up, though, and he instinctively kicked back. The creature swore and let go, giving Sasuke the chance he needed to crawl away.

Shitshitshit... Where's the fucking gun?! He got to his feet and looked around frantically but with no avail. He reached for a rock, only to have his wrist grabbed from behind. Warm breath puffed against the back of his neck and Sasuke drove his elbow back, bent on trying to hit the beast in the solar plexus. It didn't work, though, because suddenly it wasn't just his hand being held in place. Those strong arms were wrapped around his torso, holding him quite effectively immobilized.

The breath moved from his neck to his ear, causing a shiver to run down his spine. “Now why'd you have to go and kick me?” Sasuke's heart stuttered to a stop at the murmur, the warm line of the man's body against his back. A blush broke out on his face as he remembered that the creature was, in fact, naked. He started to thrash around, trying to break free. It didn't work.

“Of course I kicked you!” the teen finally burst out, trying to look back at the blond. “Given half a chance, I'd do it again! You kidnapped me, you hurt my brother, and now you're acting like this? Fuck you! I don't know who or what you are, but what the hell is going on?!”

“Vulpes quis.”

“... What?”

The man chuckled. Sasuke was starting to hate that sound with a deep passion. It made him feel... strange. “It's what I am. Wasn't that one of your questions? I'm a shapeshifter, of sorts. During the day, I'm human, but under moonlight my true form comes out and my baser instincts tend to take over. Which is why I attacked your brother when he tried to shoot me. I didn't mean to hit him quite that hard, so I hardly could leave him out there to die, now, could I?” He sniffed at the teen's skin, much to the obvious discomfort of the body currently struggling to get free of his arms. “And as to why I brought you back here... You smell really good, did you know that?”

The brunet snarled and tried to kick the man in the shins, but his flailing feet were easily dodged. “L-let me down!” he demanded, ashamed that his voice shook but he couldn't allow the blond to hold him any longer-- there was something too right in the feel of the other's body pressing against his own and it was making it really hard for him to breathe normally. He had to get away...

“Ah, but don't you want me to answer your other question?”

That stopped Sasuke for a moment. He blinked in confusion. “What other question?”

“I've told you why you're here, what I am... but not who. Wouldn't you like to know?”

“Why would I?! It doesn't matter! Hell, if I don't know who you are then you won't have any reason to come kill me when I get away and run back to town!”

There was silence for a moment, and then the blond burst out in some of the loudest, most irritating laughter Sasuke had ever heard. He was set back down on his feet and the arms around him let go. He quickly turned around to face the obviously insane man, quickly averting his eyes at the sight of his unclad form.

“Kill you? You thought I was going to kill you? And what, eat you, like some unthinking monster?” He dissolved into laughter again, causing Sasuke to start slowly backing away until he tripped over Itachi and fell on his ass, legs draped over his brother's unconscious body. He looked down at the older teen's face, a stray thought crossing his mind that it was amazing Itachi could still be out with the way the fox-man was cackling.

Finally, the man seemed to get himself under control although he was still grinning broadly. “Ah, man... you're funnier than I thought you'd be, silly little Sasuke.” The brunet's eyes widened comically. How did the freak know his name?! He made the mistake of looking up at the blond, and suddenly he was trapped in the gaze of those bright blue eyes, unable to look away or move at all as the man casually walked towards him.

“It's quite simple, really.” The shapeshifter crouched down in front of Sasuke, far too close for comfort. His beautiful face was only an inch or so away from Sasuke's. Blue stared into brown, golden skin so close to pale alabaster that the teen could yet again feel the unnatural heat that seemed to radiate from the other's form. His heart was beating wildly in his chest, and for a moment he forgot how to breathe. All he could do was feel the vulpes quis' presence shining down on him and listen to that deep, overwhelming voice.

“I, Uzumaki Naruto, want you, Uchiha Sasuke, as my mate.”
