Hands slapping her desk, Tsunade
abruptly sat straight up in her seat. She blinked furiously at the world of
white before her. What now? Whodunit? With a light crinkling sound, the
world of white shifted, slipping off to the side. Grimacing, Tsunade reached
up, peeled the offending piece of paper off her forehead, and squinted at it.
�In accordance with the statutes
of the Aoyama Treaty regarding trade relations between the Hidden Villages of
the Leaf and of the Sand, this resolution details...�
Tsunade grunted and lowered the
paper to her desk. No wonder I fell asleep on this rubbish. Yawning, she
stretched her arms up over her head and attempted to crack her shoulders. I�m
really not built for this �Hokage� business. I should be gambling.
Abruptly, a vision of a politely snarling Shizune danced behind her eyes. The
blonde frowned briefly, then shrugged her shoulders. Hell,
if she�s so passionate about paperwork, SHE can have the job.
With a sigh, she lowered her arms to
her desk and rolled her neck. Ever since Sasuke�s report of intruders in
Konoha, stress had wound itself into a sharp knot at the base of Tsunade�s
skull. She raised a hand to rub the knot, frowning down at the trade agreement
before her. Relations with the Sand were always shaky at best, even in these
days of relative peace and quiet. When she dealt with those stuffy diplomats,
she couldn�t help feeling like they were just looking for an excuse to attack
her, despite all of their reassurances to the contrary. Sighing again, she
picked up a pen and prepared to sign her name on the document.
Hell, if it�ll get them off my back
for a few months, she reasoned, I�ll do anything.
�Hokage-sama! Hokage-sama!�
Those frantic cries were all the
warning the busty blonde had before the doors to her office crashed open.
Instinctively, Tsunade clutched her papers to her chest.
�I wasn�t sleeping!� she adamantly
denied. �I was doing paperwork!�
Shizune didn�t pause at the interruption,
choosing instead to rush over to the Hokage and drag her to her feet. Her eyes
were alit with concern and determination, but it was the slight hint of fear
that gave Tsunade pause. Frowning, Tsunade dropped the papers�not that they
were of any real loss in her mind�and followed her assistant out of the room.
�What�s going on?� she demanded.
Shizune bit her lip.
�Uchiha Sasuke just brought his
cousin into the emergency room. His cousin seems to have several serious back
wounds, and the doctors downstairs are having trouble with them.�
Tsunade�s frown deepened, and she
quickened her stride. �The Uzumaki boy? But I saw him
only an hour ago, and he was fine. How did he get injured between now and
then?�
Shaking her head, Shizune led the
way down a single flight of stairs, then held the door
open for the Hokage to stride through. �I�m afraid I don�t know, Hokage-sama.�
The blonde woman ran through a
mental checklist as she approached the emergency room, passing an irate-looking
Uchiha Sasuke as he paced in the hallway. She nodded sharply at him. I�m
positive that Naruto was fine when I saw him, so the injuries couldn�t be from
battle. Did someone attack him after that? A scowl bloomed upon her face. What
reason would anyone have to attack him? Have the streets gotten that bad
without my noticing?
Entering the room, Tsunade brushed
aside the multitude of swarming doctors surrounding the blond man�s form. Her
eyes widened slightly at the sight of the bloodied back. Strips of the shirt
had been placed in a nearby bin after they�d been cut off the man�s body, but
efforts to patch him up didn�t seem to have worked, if the pile of blood-soaked
gauze was any indication. Tsunade stretched her hands out, watching the man
before her as her hands were washed and sterilized by a nearby nurse.
�What�s happened here?� she demanded
gruffly.
The nearest doctor shook his head.
�Kunai wounds to the back. Uchiha-san wouldn�t say where they came from, or
when Uzumaki-san was injured.�
Tsunade nodded, making a mental note
to drag the information out of the raven-haired piss factory as soon as she
saved his cousin�s life. Pushing some of her healing chakra to the surface, she
skimmed her hands over the many wounds. Several were deep, but none seemed to
have hit any critical points. Her doctors should have been able to handle this
by themselves.
�Why haven�t you stopped his
bleeding?� She spared a quick glance at the doctor who�d spoken before. He gave
her a confused frown and shrugged.
�His wounds refuse to close,
Hokage-sama. I...I can�t explain it.�
Frowning in concentration, Tsunade
placed her hands directly above one of the more severe wounds in the center of
the man�s back. She let her healing chakra slip down from her fingers, down
past his skin, and began tying the muscles back togeth�
CRACK!
With a tremendous burst of energy,
Tsunade�s chakra was flung back at her in a shower of sparks. The woman
stumbled backwards, only to be steadied by the other doctors.
�What the hell??� She gazed at the
man�s back in shock, watching as the crackling energy subsided. With a low
grunt, Uzumaki Naruto shifted on the operating table
and opened his eyes. Tsunade spared a venomous glare for her unfortunate
underlings.
�Don�t tell me that you didn�t
anesthetize him,� she growled. The doctors paled.
�We-we did, Hokage-sama! He made no
responses to treatment before this!� the nearest proclaimed. Tsunade glared,
but she soon turned her attention back to her patient. Naruto�s glassy blue
eyes stared blankly at her, his pupils the size of pinpoints. Taking a calming
breath, Tsunade leaned forward.
�Naruto, can you feel anything?�
He simply continued to gaze at her,
seemingly unaware of anything she said. As she raised her hands to try again,
however, he made a low noise in his throat.
�Won�t...work...�
Pausing, Tsunade returned her gaze
to the blond man�s. �Why?� she urged. �Why can�t we heal you?�
�...Just...can�t.� Naruto drew in a
shaky breath. �Sasuke...�
The Hokage leaned closer. �What
about him? Does he have something to do with this?�
The whiskered man closed his eyes,
falling silent. Frustrated, Tsunade ground her teeth. I�ll have to give it
another shot, then. She pressed her hands against the wounds, but before
she could even summon the energy required to heal him, that same crackling
barrier forced her hands away.
�Need...Sasuke.�
Glancing down, she took in her
patient�s face as he appeared to lose consciousness. Lips pursing, Tsunade made
a split-second decision.
�Get Uchiha in here.�
*�� *�� *

Sasuke�s feet had nearly worn a hole
in the floor before an orderly came out to fetch him. Schooling his face into
impassiveness, he followed her into the emergency room. As his eyes fell upon
the blond man, his stomach gave a painful lurch.
God. There was blood everywhere.
The scent of it clung to the air, reminding Sasuke less of battles than of
powerlessness, of watching people die and having no control over it...
�Sasuke!�
Tsunade�s sharp voice dragged the
Uchiha�s mind back to the present, though a hand came
up to absentmindedly rub at the scar on his neck. He made his way over to the
fox�s side.
�Why is he still bleeding?� he
questioned in a low, dangerous voice. �If I knew you were going to let him
drain to death, I�d have just taken him home and let him do it there.�
The tide of anger from the Hokage
swept through the air, but Sasuke gave no indication of noticing. Eyes glued to
the man before him, he awaited her explanation.
After a moment, Tsunade responded.
�Naruto refuses to accept healing chakra. He asked for you.� Sasuke could feel
the weight of her suspicious glare upon his neck. �Any idea why?�
The Uchiha forced himself to shrug.
�No.�
When it became apparent that she
wasn�t going to receive anything else from him, Tsunade sighed and reached for
a towel. �We�ll just have to stitch him up, then, and hope it works. If you
want, Sasuke, you can hold his hand.�
Sasuke leveled an icy stare upon
her. The woman huffed in exasperation.
�For emotional support, if you�re
capable of it,� she bit out. �He did ask for you, after all. You might
as well make yourself useful.�
Frowning, Sasuke reached down and
gently clasped Naruto�s hand. His eyebrows furrowed immediately.
He�s cold. For some reason, that bothered him immensely. It made sense
for the hand to be cold since all of his blood was flowing out of his back,
but...Naruto...Kyuubi was always warm. Abnormally warm, even.
Unconsciously, Sasuke tightened his grip on the demon�s hand. Naruto, what�s
happening to you?
As if in response, the blond man
stirred. Naruto didn�t seem to hear the admonishments to keep still as the
doctors and Tsunade worked to stitch his wounds shut. Sasuke swallowed as he
stared into the man�s pale blue eyes. Wait, pale blue? Since when is this
man anything but vibrant? Scowling, Sasuke glanced away. If he�d just
listened to me in the first place, none of this would have�
�Someone get all of this blood out
of my way! Get some pressure on those wounds!�
The emergency room abruptly doubled
in activity as Naruto�s body spasmed; the fingers surrounding Sasuke�s
tightened painfully. Trying not to wince, the Uchiha used his free hand to try
and pry the white-knuckled fingers off him before his fingers snapped. He�d
better not be dying on me, damn him! I didn�t put up with this shit for him to
die on me less than two days in!
Naruto�s grip began to weaken
slightly, allowing blood to flow back into Sasuke�s fingertips. Sasuke scowled,
worry beginning to unfurl unpleasantly within him.
�You little asshole,� he murmured.
�Why the hell did you come to protect me if you were just going to keel over?�
Although Naruto didn�t really seem
to hear what Sasuke was saying, the blond�s fingers gave his a gentle squeeze.
Unbidden, the Uchiha�s thumb began to rub Naruto�s knuckles reassuringly.
Naruto�s lips quirked.
�All right,� Tsunade stated
suddenly, using her sleeve to wipe sweat off her brow. �That�ll have to do for
now. Let�s get him bandaged.�
Sasuke felt Naruto�s hand fall limp
in his own as they taped absorbent pads and gauze to the blond�s torso. The
demon�s eyes slid shut. Absorbed in thought, Sasuke rubbed his hand as he
watched the doctors work on his companion. Naruto
must know what�s happening to him. Why else would he call me in? Was it
something I said that caused this?
The demon stirred again as the
doctors finished wrapping him. His back moved as he struggled to take a deep
breath.
�Leave me...�
Tsunade leaned close to him, placing
a gloved hand on his arm. �Naruto, are you sure? We need to figure out what we
can��
�Please!� he gasped out,
tightening his grip on Sasuke�s fingers. The Hokage frowned disapprovingly, but
she straightened nonetheless. With a few sharp waves of her hands, the other
doctors left the room. She leveled her angry eyes upon Sasuke as she addressed
the wounded fox.
�If you need us, we�ll be right
outside.�
Sasuke simply stared back at her,
his own eyes glacial. With obvious difficulty, Naruto nodded his head. Pulling
off her gloves with audible snaps, Tsunade left the operating room and
closed the door behind her. Silence fell upon the two men, broken only by
Naruto�s labored breathing.
Frowning, Sasuke stared at the
clammy hand gripping his own. �Naruto, why is this happening to you? Why can�t
the doctors heal you?�
The fox didn�t respond, his blue
eyes gazing despondently at the floor. Sasuke shook his head in frustration.
�You weren�t even hurt when we left
the battle. If you were still injured, why didn�t you say something??�
A long silence followed his question
before the fox demon responded. �...I wasn�t.�
Sasuke�s grip tightened on the man�s
hand. �Then why are you injured now?�
Once again, Naruto refused to reply.
Gritting his teeth, Sasuke began toying with the ring on Naruto�s finger,
twisting it sharply. The demon jumped, jerking his hand away. Sasuke blinked.
�Why did you...� Sasuke trailed off,
abruptly irritated with Naruto�s refusal to meet his eyes. He jumped to his
feet, pacing back and forth beside the operating table. He glared at the slowly
darkening bandages. �You know, I�m getting really sick and tired of your not
answering my questions. Obviously, you have rules that you have to follow,
right? You said as much yourself.�
Sighing, Naruto finally glanced up
at him. �And?� he asked wearily.
�Well, that�s what this is, isn�t
it?? Another goddamn rule. I�m hurting you, and I don�t even know why!� Sasuke
paused, staring down at the fox with sudden comprehension. �That�s it, isn�t
it? I�m the one doing this to you.�
Those blue eyes swiveled away from
him, which in itself was confirmation. Sasuke folded his arms across his chest.
�Tell me how to fix it.�
Naruto stared at the floor for a
long moment before sighing again. �...Am I really such a burden to you?�
Sasuke blinked in surprise at the
sudden change of topic. �What?�
�You�ve done nothing but complain
since you released me. Am I really that annoying?�
Hearing such a defeated tone from
the blond unsettled Sasuke. Frowning, he averted his eyes, one hand reaching up
to rub absently at the scar on his neck.
�Well...You have been doing
your best to annoy the hell out of me. What do you expect?� he replied
grumpily. When Naruto didn�t respond, the Uchiha returned his gaze to the other
man. He started at the crestfallen, pained expression on the fox�s face.
�Naruto...�
�Please don�t send me away,� the
genie abruptly requested, his voice shallow and
strained. �Please.�
Sasuke�s hand slipped away from his
neck. �I...�
�I�ll do better. I...� He grunted in
pain as he tried to raise himself onto his elbows. Unthinkingly, Sasuke rushed
forward and placed a hand gingerly on the man�s back. Naruto�s blond hair hung
down, shielding his face from view. �I�ll answer your questions, or whatever
you want. Just...�
�Stop moving, you idiot, before you
hurt yourself,� Sasuke demanded roughly. �And stop begging, it�s disgusting.�
Guilt was streaking through him with every word of the demon. As much as Naruto
had gotten on his nerves, he much preferred the feisty demon to this...supplicant.
�What would happen if I tried to send you away?�
Naruto�s jaw visibly tensed. �I would...go
back into confinement.�
�For how long?�
The blond�s broad shoulders began
trembling. �Until someone else released me. It would not be...pleasant for me.�
�Why?� Sasuke demanded, eyeing Naruto�s wounded back with concern.
�...Because I would be...punished.�
Even without further explanation,
Sasuke�s stomach churned at the weight Naruto placed upon that last word. �Is
that what�s happening now? Are you being punished?�
The trembling grew worse, though
from fear or anger, Sasuke couldn�t tell. �Yes.�
Wincing, Sasuke took in the bloodied
bandages. �...Sorry,� he murmured.
Naruto stilled. Slowly, he raised
his head to regard Sasuke with wide blue eyes. �What?�
�I didn�t know. I�m...sorry.�
Uncomfortable with the blond�s stare, he scowled and glanced aside. �You don�t
deserve this, even if you did disobey me. You actually did...help,� he
managed to choke out, �back there.�
Naruto stared at him in apparent
shock. Abruptly, his arms gave out, and he collapsed back onto the table. Sasuke
quickly placed a hand upon his back, startled. �Naruto?�
�You mean you...forgive me?� He
really should not have sounded as floored as he did. Sasuke�s scowl deepened.
�Is there some reason I shouldn�t?�
�...No, not really.� Turning his
head, Naruto stared up at him. �So...you don�t want me to be punished for
this?�
Sasuke sighed, pinching the bridge
of his nose with his thumb and index finger. �No, I don�t.�
Naruto gazed at him, glanced at the
floor, and then back up to him. �Then...will you remove my bandages and place
your hands on my back?�
�What? What for?� Despite his
questions, Sasuke moved forward and began peeling away the tape that held the
gauze to the man�s back. Naruto didn�t reply. Once the bloodied fabric was
pulled away, Sasuke grimaced and placed his hands over the wounds. �Like this?�
Before the blond could reply, Sasuke
felt an invisible force tug at him. Jumping, he watched as wisps of his blue
chakra funneled out of his hands to skate over the blond�s back. The wounds
closed immediately, leaving no trace behind. The wisps of chakra spun for a
moment, then retreated back into Sasuke�s hands.
Amazed, he slowly pulled his hands away and held them up, staring at his
seemingly normal palms.
�...What?� He wiggled his fingers,
but they didn�t feel any different. �How did I do that?�
�The same way you opened the wounds
in the first place,� Naruto replied succinctly, rolling over and sitting up on
the table. He stretched his arms over his head, twisting his back this way and
that before lowering them again. �I guess you could say we have a...well, a
bond.�
�A bond.� Lowering his hands, Sasuke
eyed the half-naked man before him. Already, color had returned to his skin,
and his eyes were shining as vibrantly blue as ever. �So all I had to do was touch
your back, and you�d be fine? Why didn�t you just say so?�
Naruto shrugged, swinging his legs
off the tale and jumping to his feet. �It�s not that simple. If you decided to
keep blaming me for showing up, touching the wounds would�ve just��
Sasuke frowned when Naruto cut
himself off and stared at the floor. �Would�ve what? Made them worse?
You were already practically bleeding to death!� He paused. �Can you
bleed to death?�
�...Not normally, no.� But the blond
wasn�t looking at him.
�So you can if I go overboard and make
you. Fuck.� Frustrated, Sasuke ran a hand through his hair. �Don�t you think I
should�ve known this?? I could have killed you!�
Naruto shrugged his shoulders,
looking uncomfortable. �Didn�t seem important,� he muttered. Sasuke�s hackles
went up.
�Didn�t seem important? You
think I want your blood on my hands??� Incensed, Sasuke geared up to
completely ream him out...until he noticed how tense Naruto suddenly looked. He
shut his mouth with a click, trying to regain his composure. Breathing slowly
through his nose, he finally continued in a calmer tone, �So, what. Every time
I yell at you, you�re going to start bleeding all over me?�
Clearly startled, Naruto barked out
a short laugh. �If that were the case, this would be a very short
relationship.�
Sasuke rolled his eyes. �Good to
know.� Naruto scratched his chest absently, unwittingly causing Sasuke�s gaze
to follow the motion. Blinking, the brunet tore his eyes away and cleared his
throat. �At any rate, we should probably stop tying up Tsunade�s operating
room. Put a shirt on, and we�ll go.�
�A shirt. Right.� A faint,
inexplicable blush graced the blond�s cheeks. �Um, I should probably tell
you...�
Sasuke sighed. �Now what?�
�Well, after an episode like that,
it�s always a little harder for me to use magic,� he stated sheepishly, running
a hand through his messy locks. �So, even if I�d really rather be clothed right
now...�
�You can�t. Great.� Lifting an
eyebrow, he glanced down at his own exposed chest. �I guess making a new shirt
for me is out of the question, too, hmm?�
Naruto laughed. �At least it died
for a good cause. And yes, it is.� He opened his mouth to say something, then
hesitated and looked away. Sasuke sighed again.
�Just say it. I know you�re dying
to.�
Scratching the side of his head,
Naruto glanced at Sasuke and gave him a light smirk. �I was just going to say
that you�d probably make any girl�s dream come true if they caught you walking
home that way. Instant popularity, hmm?�
Rolling his eyes, Sasuke pushed past
Naruto and headed for the door. �Oh, shut up. You do not have to butter
me up.�
He didn�t have to see the blond�s
grin to know it was there as footsteps followed him. �What buttering up? Aren�t
I allowed to compliment your sterling physique?�
�Shoot me now.�
�I do have to say, you�re definitely
the most attractive master I�ve ever had. Though I wonder, is that because
people bathe more frequently now?� Leaning in as Sasuke reached the door, he
took a deep sniff. �I must say, blood and gore aside, you smell fantastic.�
�Shut. Up.�
Naruto laughed heartily. Despite
himself, Sasuke felt a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. He pushed open
the door to the operating room, coming to a sudden stop as Tsunade immediately
turned to face him. Her eyebrows shot up at the sight of the unbandaged,
apparently unhurt blond behind him.
�How...?�
Before Sasuke could reply, Naruto
placed both hands on his shoulders and leaned forward, grinning charmingly.
�It�s a family thing.� He gazed
around at the doctors milling about, locking eyes briefly with each. Sasuke�s
back grew warm, startling him into the Sharingan�sure enough, there were tiny
swirls of red chakra slipping away from the man behind him and stealing into
each of the doctors. �I�m sorry to have been such a bother, but since I�m all
better now, would anyone mind if I went home? Please?�
Sasuke fought the urge to roll his
eyes when all of the doctors, including, to some extent, Tsunade, melted. They
looked to the Hokage, who waved her hands dismissively.
�Oh all right, you can go home. But
I want you in here first thing in the morning for a checkup, alright?�
Naruto beamed at her. �Of course.�
Shaking his head, Sasuke pulled away
from the blond, grabbed his wrist, and proceeded to drag him down the hallway.
Naruto followed obediently, calling out his goodbyes to the bemused hospital
staff. The two walked in silence until they left the Tower, the cool night air
hitting both of them as they stepped outside. Releasing his arm, Sasuke turned
to the blond and eyed him suspiciously.
�Don�t you think they agreed a
little quickly, given their panic when they couldn�t save you?�
Naruto winced. �Noticed that, did
you?� Rubbing his hair, he started walking along the deserted night streets.
Sasuke fell into step beside him. �It�s a little gift we genies were given at
the beginning. I can kind of...manipulate people.�
Sasuke stopped dead on the street,
his eyes narrowing. �Even me?�
�Huh?� Naruto�s eyes went wide, and
he brought his hands up in alarm. �No! It doesn�t...it won�t work on you. If it
did,� he smiled weakly, �I�d be able to talk you out of punishing me, right?
And that sure as hell didn�t work.�
Still suspicious, Sasuke started
walking again. �Hmm.�
�Aw, come on. Can�t you give me the
benefit of the doubt on this one? If I could manipulate you, don�t you think
I�d have made my life a hell of a lot easier by now?�
�I suppose...� Sasuke frowned. �But
I thought you said you couldn�t use your magic for a while.�
�Pushing people to like me when they
were already concerned takes about zero effort. Creating a shirt basically out
of thin air? A lot more effort.� He shook his head. �At least before, I had the
whole towel to work with. Trying to stretch what�s left of it could wreck the
whole thing, and then where would I be?�
�Stretch what�s left...�
Sasuke stared at him. �You mean you�re basically walking around in half
a towel?�
Naruto shrugged sheepishly. �I told
you I had to have something to work with.�
Rubbing his eyes, Sasuke shook his
head. �Let�s just get home.�
The two walked in silence back to
the Uchiha compound. Occasionally, Naruto would reach up and rub at the tiny tattoo
on his shoulder, frowning pensively. Sasuke pretended to ignore him. As they
approached the empty buildings that used to house his family, Sasuke glanced at
the strangely quiet man beside him.
�I don�t suppose you have enough
juice to get us both clean, do you?� he asked wryly. As though distracted,
Naruto slowly shook his head, his eyes staring vacantly at the moon. Frowning,
Sasuke glanced at the moon himself, but he couldn�t see anything worth staring
at. Returning his gaze to the fox, he placed a hand hesitantly upon Naruto�s
shoulder. Naruto jumped.
�Sorry, what? Did you say
something?� the blond questioned. A confused furrow appeared between Naruto�s
eyebrows. Sasuke started to roll his eyes, but he paused, looking down at his
hand. The shoulder it was resting on was lower than it was before. Had
Naruto...shrunk?
Abruptly concerned, Sasuke simply
shook his head and removed his hand. �It was nothing. Come on.�
Naruto hung back for a moment as Sasuke
pulled away, his blue eyes boring a hole in the Uchiha�s back. He glanced back
up at the moon, reaching up to rub his shoulder again. Shaking his head, he
followed his new master home.
*�� *�� *

Naruto stood silently by the window
in the darkened bedroom, listening idly as Sasuke finished showering in the
bathroom. After a few minutes, the raven-haired man entered the bedroom,
rubbing at his hair with a towel. Sasuke paused, then
sighed, tossing the towel to the carpeted floor.
�Naruto, are you sure you�re
alright?� he questioned gruffly. The blond�s lips twitched.
�I�m fine. Go to bed.� Ignoring the
irritated noise that the Uchiha made in reply, Naruto continued gazing out the
window as the other man prepared for bed. His ring twinged painfully on his
finger, throbbing warningly as it had ever since Sasuke had healed his back.
Frowning, he rubbed yet again at the Uchiha tattoo on his shoulder.
�How dare you disobey me, you
filthy animal!� A sick crunch as his fingers were
brutally stamped upon. Kyuubi gasped.
�Please, master, I didn�t mean
to��
�SHUT UP!� A foot to the face.
�You�ll bleed all over this floor and like it, you disgusting creature. And in
the morning, you�ll clean it until it is SPOTLESS, do you understand me??�
�Yes! Yes, master, I�m sorry, I��
The door slammed shut, a heavy lock
clanging into position. Whining softly with pain, Kyuubi rolled to his hands
and knees, head hanging from his shoulders. After a series of long, deep
breaths, he lifted his gaze, eyes burning red as the blood dripping from his
damaged mouth.
�Fucking Uchihas are all alike,�
he spat. �One day, one day I�ll get to kill them a��
Gasping, Naruto shook his head to
dispel the memory. He glanced around, noting with surprise that not only had
Sasuke already crawled into bed, but the man already seemed to be asleep.
Sighing, the fox demon lowered down to all fours, fur sprouting as he
transformed. The remains of the shredded towel fell from his hips to the floor.
Silently, Kyuubi padded over to the
side of the bed, placing his chin on the soft sheets as he gazed curiously at
the young man dozing on his side before him. Even in sleep, a furrow had
appeared between the Uchiha�s brows. Kyuubi sighed.
I�ve never had a master who didn�t
adore the fact that he could punish me at will. Given his attitude towards me,
I thought Sasuke would milk the whole experience. The fox frowned, remembering with bemusement the horrified
expression Sasuke�d worn when the demon had explained the situation. Instead of
forcing Naruto to feel every drop of pain possible, he�d agreed to heal the
self-imposed wounds, and even seemed to be concerned for him in his own pissy
way. Frankly, he�d managed to completely baffle the fox demon. He�d thought
that he had the youngest Uchiha all figured out.
Now he was being forced to admit
that...maybe Sasuke wasn�t as bad as the rest of his family. Maybe.
After staring at the brunet for a
few minutes�and dealing with the consistent throbbing of his enslavement
ring�Kyuubi sighed, crouched, and leapt gingerly onto the bed. He nosed his way
under the covers, traveling down the bed before returning to rub against
Sasuke�s side, eventually slipping beneath the man�s arm and curling up against
his chest. Sasuke grunted, opening his eyes.
�What the hell are you doing?�
Kyuubi didn�t respond, sighing
lightly as he pressed against Sasuke�s chest. It vibrated as the man groaned.
�Nothing I say is going to remove
you from my bed, is it?�
Kyuubi smiled. Sighing in an overly
put-upon manner, Sasuke settled against the fox and closed his eyes. The arm
over Kyuubi�s back shifted.
�If you wet the bed, your ass is
sleeping outside forever,� the brunet grumbled. Chuckling, Kyuubi closed his
eyes and shifted until he was comfortably nestled against the Uchiha. His ring
finally subsided.
As the pair returned to sleep,
Kyuubi�s ears twitched lightly, filled with the sound of the cicadas outside.
The fox sighed.
I suppose I can try to make the best
of this. After all, he thought, a smile tugging at his
lips, at least he doesn�t smell too bad...for an Uchiha.
