Chapter Three

Sakura buried her head in her hands and let out a low groan. Naruto paused in his pacing to shoot her an evil look. They had been at the pack library since it opened at 8:30 that morning, and it was now approaching two. Kiba had been sent out for coffee and snacks, and was taking his time coming back. Naruto was pretty sure that he was being slow on purpose.

“This is impossible,” Sakura sighed, slamming the book in front of her closed. She glared at Naruto. “You know, it wouldn't hurt you to help,” she said.

Naruto continued his pacing, feeling like he was slowly going out of his mind. The library had been Sakura's idea, anyway. She had insisted that there would be something in the archives that would help him with his current situation. Naruto snorted and fought the urge to kick something. He didn't care that Sasuke was a vampire; he was his mate, and that was all that was important to Naruto. If people didn't like it that was their problem, not his.

Sasuke was sleeping right now, Naruto could feel it through the mate bond, and he longed to be sleeping next to him. He had barely had any sleep the night before; they didn't arrive home until late, and the remainder of the night had been spent pining for his mate. All of his instincts were screaming for him to be beside Sasuke. He needed to claim him, and hold him; it didn't help that mates were basically in heat for each other for the first few months after their initial consummation. All of this had made him very grumpy and uncomfortable when Sakura woke him up first thing with her library plan. She had a theory, which Naruto hadn't really paid much attention to due to his lack of sleep and lack of mate. Something about finding a precedent.

“Naruto,” Sakura continued. “I'm doing this for you, you know.”

Naruto paused in his pacing and turned to face her. “Look, I know you're only trying to help,” he said, “but you have no idea how hard it is for me to be here, knowing where he is, and not able to go to him.”

“I do know, you moron,” she snapped. “I was kept apart from Kiba for almost a year. You've not even been apart from Sasuke a day yet. Plus, you've consummated your mating.”

“That just makes it worse; you know that once the mating is consummated the bond deepens.”

“Which is why I'm trying to help you!”

They glared at each other, both totally frustrated by their lack of progress. Sakura looked like she was thinking about hurling a book at Naruto's head.

It was at that point that Kiba finally reappeared. Sakura turned her glare onto him, secretly slightly jealous that she hadn't thought to use going out for coffee as an excuse to escape for a bit. “Where did you go to buy that, Paris?” She snapped.

Kiba put a coffee down in front of her. “You're welcome,” he said, slumping into the seat opposite her.

Sakura took a sip of the coffee; it was still hot, so Kiba had done all his procrastinating before he brought it. She delved into the fast food bag he had brought, pulling out a burger and taking a bite.

Naruto rolled his eyes. He wasn't hungry; his mind was full of Sasuke. If his mating had been anything approaching normal, once he had announced that he had found his mate to his pack they would have been given a full week to themselves. No work or any other commitments would come between them; food would be delivered by friends. On the last night of this honeymoon, they would shift and run together under the moonlight, and when they returned to the tribe there would be a feast in their honour, and a party that sometimes went on for days. They would exchange wedding vows and rings, and then sort out a legally recognised ceremony, where they would do it all over again.

However, his mate was a vampire. They would not be able to run together as wolves, they wouldn't even be able to be together in the sunlight. Naruto didn't care about that, but he knew that life wouldn't be easy for them, even if they somehow managed to keep their families from murdering each other.

The feeding bothered him; he hated the idea of Sasuke getting close enough to anyone to bite them, never mind feeding through sex. He wondered if he was strong enough to be Sasuke's sole source of food, or if Sasuke would even agree to that. If Sasuke was a wolf, there was no way that he would be able to tolerate any one but Naruto touching him now they were mated, but he was a vampire; maybe he wouldn't equate the sex he had for feeding with the sex he had with Naruto. There was so little he really knew about his mate, and instead of using this time to get to know each other as most mated pairs did, he was in a stupid library, full of mouldy books.

Naruto gave into his frustration, and kicked the table. The coffee cups jiggled, and Kiba and Sakura dived to rescue the books from any potential coffee damage.

“What the hell, Naruto? Chill out!” Kiba snapped.

“Chill out?” Naruto snarled at his friend. “How am I supposed to chill out when my mate is over the other side of town, and I'm stuck here?”

“Because we're trying to sort that out for you! Prick.” Kiba grabbed a napkin, and began mopping the table.

“Where did this book come from?” Sakura asked, her voice sounding slightly shaky.

Naruto glanced at the book in her hands. It looked old; a lot of the books were older than you would find in a regular library, but this one made them look brand new. It was the sort of book that was normally only ever held in the gloved hands of the curator of some museum, who turned the pages carefully with a pair of tweezers. Sakura must have had the same impression, because she was holding it as if she was afraid it would crumble to dust.

The cover was blackened with age, and the title looked handwritten. “Is that in Japanese?” Naruto asked.

Sakura nodded. “I think so. But really old Japanese.”

Kiba glanced up from his mopping. “Oh, I found that one,” he said. “You said to get anything that might be related to vampires, and since that said Madara on the cover I thought-”

“Wait; you can read that?” Sakura exclaimed.

Kiba shrugged, launching the soggy napkin at the bin and missing. “Just the Madara part. Remember when we had that assignment in school about historical figures, and we did a collage thing? I had to write Madara in Japanese, and it took me forever to get it right, so I remember it.”

“We need to find out what's in this book,” Sakura said.

“Why?” Naruto asked, quickly loosing interest. It was old, and that was cool, but why did they need to read it? Their ancestors had been Japanese, but none of them could read, or even speak the language apart from Kiba, and he only knew one word.

“Because,” Sakura said in a tone normally reserved for the very stupid, “I think it may have been written by Madara; it may have the reason for the feud in it. We thought that all documentation of that time was destroyed, but this somehow survived. And if we can find what started the feud we can end it, meaning that you and Sasuke get to be together without starting an interspecies war”

“Great, so all we need to do is learn ancient Japanese, and hope that you're right. For all you know, that could be Madara's cook book!”

Kiba sniggered. “Recipe number one; Take one human.”

Sakura and Naruto ignored him.

“You ungrateful arse,” Sakura snapped. “I'm trying to help you, so please hold off on the sarcasm. Besides, it's better than your plan of pine away and be a colossal pain in my backside. I get that this is hard for you; it's a shitty situation and you have my sympathy, but that is no excuse to take it out on me and Kiba, who are the only ones currently on your side. I'll read the goddamn book, so don't worry about having to take some time out of mooning over Sasuke to learn a new language.”

She clutched the book to her chest, and stormed out of the library.

“And that is why I always agree with her,” Kiba said collecting up the last of his lunch before following his mate.

Naruto sank into his friend's vacated seat with a sigh. She was right, he was being an arse, but he couldn't help it. When he met Sasuke, it was like he was suddenly seeing in colour. Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, he had stepped out of a black and white farmhouse into a colourful world full of little people singing. And now he was apart from Sasuke everything was monochrome again. Except, now he knew what life was like in colour, and he truly saw how dull the world he had once enjoyed really was.

He glanced at his watch, and tried to calculate the hours of sunlight remaining. He decided to go to the meeting place and wait for Sasuke. Hopefully he wouldn't go out of his mind before his mate arrived.

Even though his room had no windows, Sasuke knew that the sun was still up when he awoke. It was a handy vampire trait that stopped them from being fried, since vampires pre-dated the invention of clocks. While he could be awake and even productive in daylight hours, direct sunlight was still a big problem; the house was made by vampires for vampires, and so had a distinct lack of windows, which made being up and about in daylight hours a bit less perilous. While exposure to sunlight wouldn't kill a vampire, it would hurt like hell.

So Sasuke could get up and do stuff if he wanted to. He just didn't; he felt like wallowing in his bed for the rest of his life. He felt ravaged in body mind and soul. He could still feel Naruto, enough to know that the separation was paining him too, and he ached to go to him. Sasuke couldn't understand why werewolves longed to find their mates; it was a horrible feeling to need one person that much. He was hungry, but the very thought of moving to find someone to eat just seemed like too much effort.

A knock on the door had him struggling upright. “Who is it?” He called out, trying to remember if the door was locked. In answer, the door swung open to reveal Karin, and Sasuke remembered that Naruto's friends had busted his door the night before.

Karin's eyes widened at the sight of Sasuke lying naked in a well used bed. “Well, I didn't realise that you ate in bed,” she said with a snicker. She pushed the door shut behind her and sat down on his bed. The laughter in her eyes vanished as she got close enough to smell the wolf on Sasuke.

“Shit,” she breathed, “a werewolf in your father's house? How brave are you?”

Sasuke flopped onto his back with a groan. “Not just any werewolf,” he said. “He's my mate.”

Karin's eyebrows threatened to shoot off the top of her head. “Your what? Sasuke, you're a vampire, you can't be a wolf's mate.”

“I know!” He snapped. “It's insane, impossible, yet it is. I can feel him.”

Karin shook her head. “Maybe it's just that he's different. You've never been with a wolf before-”

“No. I'm his mate.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“I just am. It's like...I need him, the way I need blood. I barely know him but I think...I think I'm in love with him.” The final confession was given in a whisper.

Karin was more than surprised. She had known Sasuke for years; he had been a child when she was turned into a vampire, but they became close once she realised that he also had an animal form. She had guided him through the change, and was one of the few people that Sasuke acknowledged as a friend. And in all those years, she had seen Sasuke sleep with countless men and women, including herself on more than one occasion. All of those partners, every one, had been for food or fun. Sasuke had never shown even the slightest hint of infatuation; love was not for him. So to hear him say that he loved someone was shocking.

“Still, everyone falls in love sometime in their lives; maybe you're surprised at the intensity of something you've never felt before, and you think that that makes you mates.” But Karin didn't believe that, even as she forced the words out. She scarcely dared to hope; that if Sasuke was mated to a wolf, maybe there was still a chance for her.

“No, this is more than just falling in love. I need to be with him, but I can't see how I can. Can you imagine what my father will do if he finds out?”

“We won't let him find out,” Karin said. “So you need to shower the scent of wolf off of you. Are you going to find your mate when the sun goes down?”

Sasuke nodded. “We're meeting up,” he said.

“Ok. We pretend we're going for a run in the grounds. The only one who will be able to keep up with us is Nagato, and if he gets sent to follow us I'll distract him while you scale the wall. You know, if he doesn't follow us, I'm coming with you.” She smirked. “I want to meet the man who has ensnared your heart.”

Sasuke rolled his eyes, before climbing out of bed and stalking towards the shower.

“By the way,” Karin called just as he was about to close the bathroom door, “what's the name of your wolf?”

“Naruto.” Sasuke replied. “Naruto Uzumaki.”

He shut the door, and so didn't see how pale his friend turned.

Sasuke was lucky; no one noticed the two black panthers stalking through the grounds of the Uchiha mansion at dusk. Just to make sure, he and Karin ran a circuitous route, crossing their own path several times to stop any trackers. There was a spot in the wall where the masonry was weak, and it was easy to dig your claws into. It was Sasuke's regular escape route, and so far no one had realised that this was where he was getting out.

The Uchiha house was on the very edge of town, so they climbed over the wall and into a field. The tree where he was meeting Naruto was on the other side of the river, but was only a short distance for two panthers running at full speed. Which is what Sasuke was at as soon as he cleared the wall. Naruto was waiting for him, and he yearned to be beside his mate; for some reason, in his panther form the pull was even stronger.

Karin let out a startled growl, before picking up her speed. Sasuke almost begrudged her presence, wanting to be alone with his mate, but he knew that she would be able to keep a better lookout than he or Naruto would once they were together.

It was normally a twenty minute run to the tree; Sasuke made it in fifteen. The tree itself was on the top of a small mound; it was speculated that it was a man made burial mound, but no one had bothered to dig it up to find out. Whatever was under there was all tangled in the roots of the oak tree.

Standing on the crest of the small mound, under the tree's canopy, was Naruto. He had been pacing but he paused, staring at the spot where Sasuke stood. Sasuke remained frozen for a moment, giving Karin a chance to catch up with him, captivated by the sight of his mate. Moonlight glinted off Naruto's golden hair, turning it silver. For some reason, even shadowed by the tree, the blue of his eyes stood out, as if a little bit of the daylight resided inside them.

Sasuke ran, charging towards his mate, the need that had had him in its grasp all day finally boiling over. Naruto's eyes widened as he saw the panther charging towards him. He knew that it was Sasuke; he hadn't realised that his vampire mate was also a shape shifter. It explained a lot, but it was a surprise. He braced himself as Sasuke launched at him, allowing the giant cat to land on him and pin him to the ground. He tangled his hands in Sasuke's fur as Sasuke licked him with his rough tongue, a rumbling purr vibrating through his body.

“I missed you,” Naruto murmured into Sasuke's ear.

He felt Sasuke's body tremble; he watched in awe as Sasuke changed, fur receding; paws stretching into hands. For some reason, his normal squeamishness was absent. Possibly it had something to do with his very naked mate lying on top of him. He grabbed Sasuke's head, and pulled him down into a hungry kiss. He felt more than heard Sasuke's moan as he opened his mouth, his tongue tangling with Naruto's. In that moment, all the tension flowed out of Naruto, replaced by the rightness of feeling Sasuke in his arms. He ran his hands down his mate's back, cupping his buttocks and pulling him closer. He had been erect the moment he had scented Sasuke approaching, the physical reaction to his mate still as strong as it had been the night before, no doubt intensified by the forced separation. Sasuke was hard as well, and the feeling of their cocks pressed together had Naruto groaning.

He fumbled between them, still desperately kissing Sasuke, somehow managing to get his fly undone, and his cock free. He pressed his length against Sasuke's, grinding down. They were both slick with pre-come, Sasuke's cock hot and hard against his own. Naruto groaned, one hand on Sasuke's arse, the other tangling in his hair. Sasuke was writhing on top of him, as if he was trying to crawl into Naruto's skin. Naruto wished he could. He tightened his grip on Sasuke's arse, digging his nails in. Their kiss became frenzied as they rubbed against each other; Naruto wanted to flip them, and sink deep into Sasuke, but that would mean stopping, and there was no way that he was stopping; it felt far too good. He shifted his hand enough to slip one finger into Sasuke's tight hole, and was gratified as Sasuke arched with a cry, breaking their kiss. Naruto felt the heat of Sasuke's seed against his cock, and it was enough to tip him over the edge. He came with a deep groan.

For a moment they lay panting together. Sasuke buried his head in his lover's shoulder, trying to get his racing thoughts back together. Again, he had not fed off of Naruto; he wondered if he was even able to. It was doubly strange as he had not fed for several days, and he was beginning to feel hungry.

“Wow, free porn. Thanks, guys.”

Naruto sat upright, clutching Sasuke to his chest at the sound of the sardonic female voice. Sasuke suppressed a groan. He had forgotten about Karin.

“Who the hell are you?” Naruto snarled, all of his protective instincts kicking in. Although logically he knew that as a vampire Sasuke could take care of himself, his werewolf instincts didn't respond to logic.

Sasuke managed to turn around in Naruto's tight grip to see Karin approaching, naked and unashamed. She sat down next to them and leered.

“She's my friend,” Sasuke said. “She helped me get out.”

Naruto eyed Karin warily, keeping a tight hold on Sasuke. “You watched us.” He said flatly.

“Of course,” she replied, running her fingers through her red hair. “I mean, who wouldn't? You're both gorgeous, and together...” She trailed off, and a dreamy look came into her eyes.

Naruto made a sound of disgust. “Pervert,” he muttered.

Sasuke scowled, and tried to wriggle out of his mates grasp. Most vampires had a voyeuristic streak and enjoyed being watched or watching, himself included.

“You're holding a naked man with your dick hanging out of your jeans and I'm the pervert?” Karin said with a snicker.

Naruto flushed, and was flustered enough to loosen his hold on Sasuke enough to let him wriggle free. Sasuke stood up and glared down at his lover. Belatedly, Naruto realised that something was bugging him.

“What?” He asked.

“You think that watching people have sex is perverse?” Sasuke snapped.

“You don't?” Naruto asked incredulously. Sasuke's scowl deepened. “Oh, you really don't.” Naruto tucked his dick back in his jeans and zipped them back up as a way of buying some time. He had forgotten that as a vampire, Sasuke saw the world very differently to him.

“Look,” Naruto said, “to me, sex is about intimacy between two people. It's special, and not to be shared with anyone outside. And between mates, it's even more special. I don't want anyone to see you like that except me.”

Sasuke sat down next to him with a sigh. “Before you, it was all about getting off and feeding,” he said. “I agree, it's different with you; I don't want people seeing you, I couldn't share you with anyone. But if it's me people are watching...” he trailed off as Naruto's expression darkened.

“No one sees you like that except for me,” he said flatly.

“Yes, that's very werewolf,” Karin drawled, “but Sasuke's a vampire. How do you expect him to feed? We may not die from lack of food, but it weakens us; do you want a comatose mate because you won't let him feed?”

“He can feed off of me,”Naruto growled.

“Actually, I can't,” Sasuke confessed. “When I'm with you, it's like all of my feeding instincts are suppressed; all I can think of is being with you.”

“Weird,” Karin commented. “When did you last eat anything?”

Sasuke frowned, trying to think. Naruto looked like he wanted to put his fingers in his ears and sing to drown out Sasuke's response.

“I can't remember,” Sasuke said. “A few days ago, I think.”

Karin rolled her eyes. “Sasuke, remember that whole turning into a panther is draining speech? If you want to use that form, you need to feed regularly. You can feed off me if you want; you don't even have to go for penetrative or anything, just go down on me.” She spread her legs in invitation.

“No,” Naruto snapped, averting his gaze and wrapping an arm around Sasuke.

“Sasuke has to feed,” Karin replied, adjusting herself to a more modest position when it became clear that Sasuke wasn't going to take her up on her offer, “and he can't do it from you.”

“No, Naruto's right,” Sasuke said with a sigh. He could feel the rage emanating from his mate at the thought of Sasuke having any sexual contact with anyone else. Sasuke could understand it; he couldn't stand the thought of Naruto touching anyone but him. The response was visceral, and did not respond to any logic. He would have to either go blood only, or make sure that Naruto never, ever knew how he was feeding.

Karin made a sound of disgust. “He's not right. I know it's hard-wired into a werewolf to want their mate all for themselves; it's super romantic, and the whole possessive alpha male thing is totally hot, but Sasuke, you're not a werewolf. It's going to be different for you. There's no way you can go blood only; one fuck will keep you going for a few days, with blood you would need to drain four people for the same effect, and there aren't that many willing donors around. Plus, you could accidentally kill someone. And vampire related deaths are a pain in the arse to cover up.”

“Because that's why you don't kill people, the inconvenience of it,”Naruto snapped in disgust. “We'll sort something out. For now, Sasuke can have my blood.” He tipped his head, exposing his throat.

Both Sasuke and Karin stared, shocked at the sight of a werewolf willingly baring his neck for a vampire. Sasuke moved forward slowly, savouring the moment. He suddenly had a deep desire to taste his mate; his fangs ached with the need. He felt them lengthen, and knew that his eyes had changed to red. Naruto was watching him, anticipation glowing in his eyes. He was clearly getting off on the thought of Sasuke sinking his teeth into him. And we're the perverts? Sasuke thought.

He straddled Naruto's lap, gripping Naruto by the hair and carefully moving his head to the right angle. He placed a few soft kisses to Naruto's throat, feeling his pulse against his lips. Naruto's arms slipped around his back, loose enough that Sasuke could move if he wanted, Naruto's fingers lightly caressing up and down Sasuke's spine. For Sasuke, blood drinking had always been a necessity; it had never been this erotic before.

Sasuke opened his mouth, and set his fangs against Naruto's neck. He felt a shudder go through his lover, and his hands tighten against Sasuke's back. He could feel Naruto's cock hardening, and his lips curved in a smile. In one swift motion he sank his fangs into his mate, groaning as his blood hit his tongue. Nothing had ever tasted that good; he didn't know if it was because it was werewolf blood or because it was Naruto's, but it made human blood taste like ashes.

Naruto had thought that being bitten would hurt; the thought of Sasuke sinking his fangs into him had been strangely arousing, but still, he had expected pain. He had not been prepared for the wave of bliss that rushed over him when Sasuke's teeth had pierced his flesh. He clung onto his lover, groaning at the sensation of his blood being pulled from his body. When Sasuke finally backed away, he felt disappointed at the loss, and then a bit dizzy. He felt Sasuke place gently kisses and licks to the wound, closing it up. Naruto had heard rumours that a vampire's saliva had healing properties, and he was glad to find out they were true. Now he was not twisted up by jealousy at the thought of Sasuke touching Karin, he realised that vampire bite marks would be very hard to explain away to his pack.

Sasuke moved until he was gazing down into Naruto's eyes, still straddling Naruto's lap. His eyes were back to normal, his fangs receded. He was breathtaking. Sasuke smiled, and leaned in for a kiss. Naruto opened his mouth against Sasuke's, sure he should feel grossed out by the taste of his own blood in Sasuke's mouth. He wasn't, though. Everything about Sasuke just felt so right.

“Thank you,” Sasuke purred against Naruto's mouth. “You taste delicious.”

Naruto grinned. “So do you,” he murmured.

“The longer you stay out here, the more likely it is that someone will notice you gone,” Karin said.

Naruto scowled at her. He had briefly forgotten her presence. “Why don't you go back and make sure that no one comes looking, then,” he snapped.

“I can do that. But what about tomorrow, and the day after that? Are you just going to sneak to this tree to make out every night, and then sneak back home to be miserable? Someone is going to notice.”

Naruto grit his teeth. She had a point. Sasuke slumped against him with a defeated sigh.

“My friends are working on finding a way to break the feud,” Naruto said.

“It's impossible.” Karin replied flatly.

“Your optimism is astounding,” Naruto said dryly. “Why do you think it's impossible? No one even knows why we have a grudge any more. It's just habit.”

“Because, some people like the feud,” Karin replied. “People have tried to build bridges, and every time they do that, something happens to deepen the bad feeling between vampires and werewolves.”

Both Naruto and Sasuke turned to look at her. “What do you know?” Sasuke breathed.

Karin looked worried for a moment, then she let out a small sigh. I don't know about Sasuke's case, because he's a full blooded vampire, but there is a reason I can change into a panther. I used to be a werewolf.”

“You can turn wolves into vampires?” Sasuke asked, his voice strangled. He glanced towards Naruto. “Do you think we could-”

“No. No offence, Sasuke, but I'm not becoming a vampire.”

“You're right to say that. It's not a nice process. But I was turned at a time when people were thinking about maybe strengthening the treaty. I know the wolves were; I was part of a delegation sent from Japan to organise new peace talks; I'm a distant relation of Hashirama Senju, and we were sent for to try and mend things here. Only, on the way myself and Nagato were kidnapped, tortured and changed. The wolves saw this as breaking treaty. We eventually escaped and got here, but none of the wolves, not even our own cousin, would accept us. The vampires took us in.”

“That's terrible,” Naruto said. “I can't believe that werewolves would turn you away just because-”

“They did,” Karin said flatly.

“Well, it's wrong!”

“I never knew,” Sasuke said softly.

Karin shrugged. “We kept it quiet. I'm sure a lot of vampires would hate the idea of former wolves amongst them. Your father took us in, but he doesn't know what we used to be.”

For a moment they all sat in silence, weighed down by the enormity of their situation. Karin was surprised at herself for confessing something she had held to herself for so long. Nagato had gone strange with the rejection of the other werewolves, and she couldn't talk to him about it any more; as far as he was concerned he was a vampire, and he hated the werewolves with as much intensity as Fugaku Uchiha did.

Sasuke snuggled back against Naruto, taking comfort in the werewolf's presence. If what Karin thought was true, they stood no chance. They would not be allowed to be together, and if they ran, the wolves and vampires would come after them, encouraged by whoever wanted them to be at odds.

Naruto felt Sasuke sigh, and felt the sudden despair that welled up inside his mate. He scowled; he didn't want Sasuke to feel like this, didn't want him to give up. So what if someone was trying to encourage the feud. He would stop them; nothing would come between Naruto and his mate. A sudden idea struck him.

“Karin, you said you came from Japan. Can you read Japanese?”

She frowned. “I can, although I haven't needed to for years. Why?”

Sasuke looked equally mystified, so Naruto explained about the book that Sakura had taken from the library.

“I can get her to bring it tomorrow, and maybe you can find something inside it,” he said at the end.

“Well, I'll have a look, but remember what I said, someone doesn't want unity. And if they find out about you and Sasuke-”

“If anyone tries to take Sasuke from me or me from Sasuke I will kill them,” Naruto growled. “I will find whoever is trying to keep this feud going and I will stop them.”

Sasuke sat up in Naruto's lap, and looked down at him, awed by the confidence that was streaming off of him. He felt a grin forming on his face. “You best be quick, or I might get to them first,” he said. “No one is going to stop me from being with you.”
