Sasuke did not waste any time returning quickly to where Naruto still slept. Anger at his father still burned bright in his chest, causing the jewel around his neck to gleam with more light than its usual subtle glow. This went so much deeper than the usual father/son arguments. This was a father being willing to essentially break his youngest son beyond repair for the sake of reasons that seemed weak and beneath the great Fugaku Uchiha. Perhaps more was at play, perhaps not. There was little time for Sasuke to waste on reasons when the time to plan was short.
As his eyes danced over the body sprawled out in relaxed slumber, the only thoughts rousing in his mind were those of Naruto's safety. It was true he could possibly survive the breaking of their bond, but Naruto would not. That breaking of the bond could even be considered was surprising, even for Fugaku. Simply killing Naruto was apparently not enough of a break, meaning there was another reason for the decision to sever their bond. Should Naruto die of natural causes or a sword to his heart, the bond would still influence and strengthen Sasuke. It was a strange particularity with Uchiha, perhaps related to their unusually strong connections with their Familiars.
The Uchiha were an old and highly magical family. Other sorcerers could simply kill a familiar and replace it as they wished. Uchihas were different. While only one Familiar was allowed at any given time, the death of a Familiar was not the end. Breaking the bond was used only when the family did not want the spirit of the Familiar to influence the sorcerer.
Why would his father call for this stiff punishment? Did his father know something he was not speaking? If Fugaku's will was enforced, Sasuke would be scarred in the most horrific of manners. He would live an almost half life. A part of his soul would be shattered.
There was one in his family that had survived the breaking of the bond with his Familiar. He had met his Great Uncle Madara once. There was something off about the man. On the outside he maintained the cool collected appearance most of the Uchiha blood exuded, but Sasuke had not liked the look in his eyes. There was deadness there. Even Itachi seemed on edge around the man.
Sasuke had asked Itachi about him that night when they sat together by the icy fire. Madara had apparently fallen in love with a fire elemental a few weeks before he was to be bonded with an appropriate Familiar and had used his own magic to bond their souls in the way of Sorcerer and Familiar. The family had not taken well to the rebellion by the one who was to be the future head of the Uchiha. Against his will, he was bound and the bond forcibly severed.
As expected, the fire elemental died. Madara, apparently, was never the same afterward. His magic suffered, but being already an extremely talented sorcerer, he remained one of the more powerful in the family. Itachi told him that to have a bond severed while both parties remained alive was a walking death sentence.
Sasuke lifted a hand to his crystal, a perfect blue gem shard made of what looked like a piece of the frozen sky. He refused to give up Naruto. Even if his control over his ice magic was not on par with his brother, he would not remain here if it meant being broken. The bonds were sacred and his father was threatening to discard his simply because of one incident.
"What are you going to do?"
The smooth timbre of the voice rolled over him, causing him to create an instinctive barrier around him and Naruto until his mind processed who was seated partially hidden in the shadows. "Itachi."
"Are you going to let your pet die?"
"Naruto isn't a pet."
A small smirk twisted Itachi's hard lips as he lifted a hand. The shadows shifted and Kisame moved silently and smoothly to Itachi's side. The dragon blood in Kisame showed particularly vibrant in the gleam from the blue flames crackling in the fireplace.
"Perhaps it is you who is the pet."
"Where's Kakashi? He was supposed to stay with Naruto."
"The less time he spends with Naruto, the better. Don't forget that he is Father's Familiar. They are joined in more ways than simply words as you very well know. If he wishes it, Father can see through his eyes."
"It takes a lot of magic to maintain such a connection," argued Sasuke, though he knew even as the words left his lips that his father was not above such tactics if he thought for a moment it would benefit his goals.
"Still, it puts Kakashi in a hard position. If he goes against Father, things will be difficult for him. I sent him away in the event Father decides he cannot trust you and decides to spy through Kakashi's eyes."
Sasuke frowned at the words. Even with his jealousy toward Kakashi's familiarity with Naruto, the wolf had never been anything but helpful. It was a shame he could not completely trust him. He crouched beside Naruto and traced a finger down the more prominent marks on his cheeks before giving his shoulder a small shake while internally preparing his magic for the possibility of Naruto awakening with a violent reaction.
Naruto moaned and opened bleary eyes. The red had mostly faded except for a thin line around the rims of his iris, leaving warm blue eyes instead of the feral red. He reached for Sasuke before drooping weakly to the bed. "I'm tired."
"I know. Forgive me for waking you, but you need to get up." Sasuke wanted to conserve as much of his magic as he could. He was strong, but his magic was not limitless and should his father choose to pursue him, he would likely need to conserve every ounce of it to facilitate their escape.
"What are your plans, little brother?"
Sasuke shook his head and stroked Naruto's cheek again. "What makes you think I can trust you?"
"I am the only one you can trust." Itachi stood in a fluid motion and much to Sasuke's surprise, approached with caution. He had never seen Itachi show such caution of anything. Even Kisame seemed on edge and prepared to leap forward at the first sign of trouble. Following his brother's gaze, he realized the reason for Itachi's caution. It was Naruto.
"He won't hurt you."
"So naive, little brother. That is a fully matured Feral. He might not harm you, but anyone else should be very nervous around him, at least until your bond develops enough for you to exert more control over him. You've been neglecting it, a very dangerous thing with such a volatile Familiar."
Itachi ran his gaze over Naruto before focusing once more on Sasuke. "He is going to have difficulty controlling himself now. His instincts are going to be very keen until he adjusts to the change...all his instincts, including those to mate. Ferals are considered dangerous for a reason."
Sasuke shook his head and helped Naruto sit up. His tussled blond head hung limply, rolling on his neck as if it was barely attached. His eyes were hooded and his lips parted to reveal sharp fangs protruding out slightly over his lower lip. "We'll be fine. I can control him."
"I very much doubt that, Sasuke."
Itachi nodded to Kisame, who moved with more grace than he should have possessed considering his size and scooped up Naruto in his arms as if he were a child. Instantly, there was a change in the air. The fur on Naruto's ears and tail ruffled and his claws struck out at Kisame's neck. His aim was accurate and would have been fatal if not for Kisame being a dragon classed creature. His skin was composed of tiny scales and was nearly impenetrable to anything but magically imbued weapons and even then, it was difficult to truly bring him down.
Sasuke stiffened visibly and his eyes darkened slightly with a magical glow. Just the thought of anyone touching Naruto had his magic running wildly beneath his skin. Controlling it was becoming increasingly difficult under Naruto's obvious upset.
"Calm down. Naruto is nearly as large as you now, if not a little bigger. As much as I know you would like to carry him, Kisame will have an easier time of it."
It was then Sasuke realized that it was he that was causing Naruto's distress. His own possessiveness and frustration was bleeding across their bond and influencing the more instinctual part of Naruto's mind. In his exhausted post maturing state, he was likely not thinking with his brain, but reacting on pure instinct.
Sasuke immediately sent a calming whisper of magic across their bond and felt an instant response from Naruto. Naruto's fur continued to remain stiff, but he stopped attempting to scratch out Kisame's throat. It was something.
"Let's not tarry any longer than need be," said Itachi as he led them through the halls of the keep.
The few servants present gave them odd looks as they passed, making Sasuke increasingly nervous. The longer they went without drawing their father's attention, the better the outcome. Fugaku was going to be furious when he discovered both Sasuke and Naruto absent from the keep.
"Hurry," growled Itachi in an uncharacteristic urgency. "Father is gathering his magic so to use against you to sever your bond. We don't have long."
"Itachi," grumbled Kisame. "There is more at play here."
"Something we will discuss later," hissed Itachi.
Sasuke frowned at the two as they walked speedily down out the keep and towards the larger inner courtyard. The icy bite of the wind even in spring was like a comforting caress on his cheeks. "Are you coming with us, Itachi?"
"Not likely. I'm needed here." There was an unspoken intrigue to Itachi's words. His brother lived for the intricacies of court. It was not that he particularly enjoyed participating in them so much as he enjoyed unraveling them. In the royal court, Itachi was given a wide berth because of his quick mind and covert methods.
Itachi stopped and nodded to Kisame, who placed Naruto on his feet and leaned him against Sasuke. Kisame took several steps back, shedding his clothes as he went until he stood naked. His large body seemed to pulse with magic. A quick glance at Itachi showed his brother's gem glowing brightly beneath the silk of his tunic.
He had never seen his brother putting so much effort and concentration in his casting of magic. Everything came without almost any effort to Itachi. Even the incantations he whispered seemed foreign in Sasuke's ears. "Itachi..."
Kisame grinned widely before stretching out his arms. His body gave a heavy pulse as he doubled over. The fingers of his hands lengthened to create great claws tipped with shiny black nails. His bulky muscled build grew long and slender until it formed the long slender body of a serpentine dragon. The hard masculine cut of his face hollowed and elongated to take on the shape of a diamond with white round eyes and curved blue horns.
Large powerful jaws opened to reveal countless sharp teeth as he took a deep breath and exhaled a thin stream of icy fire onto the ground around him. His wings flapped wildly for several moments before he settled and stared at them. Fear spilled into Sasuke's stomach and Naruto pick up on it, his eyes beginning to lose the blue and fade into that wild crimson of pure instinct.
"Calm down," whispered Itachi in a raspy voice.
Sasuke watched as his brother, normally powerful and unharmed by the use of magic, stumbled forward in an obvious sign of magic overextension. Itachi was nearly dead on his feet as he weakly moved to the dragon that was Kisame and leaned heavily against the large head that lowered to nuzzle at his chest. Long bony fingers lifted and stroked over the play of scales shimmering in the light of the courtyard. It was a rare sight for Itachi to show his true attachment to Kisame.
"What did you do?"
Itachi closed his eyes and continued to stroke a hand through the silky hair that ran the length of Kisame's long slender neck. "This is Kisame's true form. Only a few realize that he is not a dragon type born in human form, but a fully realized dragon. It is easier for him to serve me in human form, so when we joined, I used my magic to transform his shape."
Sasuke stared wide-eyed at his brother. To tame a man shaped creature was one thing, but to tame a true dragon, something that had not been seen in any land for hundreds of years was another altogether. A new respect for his brother blossomed in Sasuke's chest. Itachi truly was a powerful sorcerer. "Father never said anything."
"Father knows better than to reveal all his cards, even to his own family."
"What will Father do when he finds out you've transformed Kisame back?"
"Father will not be pleased," said Itachi with a chuckle before stepping away from Kisame.
The dragon released a small rumbling sound that could be construed as a dragon's version of a laugh. At Itachi's nod, he lowered himself to the ground and looked expectantly at Naruto and Sasuke, giving a slight jerk of his head towards his bare back.
"Kisame will take you into the land of Wind. From there where you go will be up to you. I don't know what is going on, but ever since Father came back from court before the last winter, his mind has been...odd." Itachi stumbled toward the wall and leaned heavily on the stone. "Your best option would be to lie low for a while and gain control of your pet. I will look into things here."
"Will you be alright?"
"Yes. Just...Kisame..." Itachi shifted his gaze back to the dragon. "Don't stay away long. I'm going to need your assistance while I recover. I don't trust anyone not to attack me while I am weakened."
The large blue head gave a nod and his body stood. Sasuke gripped tightly onto the lengths of hair running down Kisame's back, his arms circling Naruto who seemed to be nodding out of consciousness again now that the immediate danger he felt from Sasuke was passed. Looking on his brother, he felt a wave of gratitude rush through him. He should have known Itachi would not allow him to be broken by their father.
"Take care, Itachi."
"I should be the one telling you that, little brother." Itachi's smirk faded from his lips. "Trust no one until you hear from me."
Sasuke nodded and released a gasp as Kisame's body knotted up before lurching swiftly into the air. His stomach felt as if it had remained on the ground. Wide leathery wings rode the currents of the wind, taking them to such heights that Sasuke was forced to cast a small spell over him and Naruto to aid in their breathing and to keep Naruto warm.
The world seemed so small from the heights they soared. Forests were little more than small patches of green. Rivers were blue lines etched into the ground. Seeing the world in such detain gave pause to the expansiveness of it all.
The speed at which they traveled put to shame even the most rapid horse. Casting of transportation spells used a lot of magic, and were only useful in an emergency as when he and Kakashi found Naruto standing amid the gore of his kill. Sasuke had been nearly out of breath when they reached the keep. He was thankful that he had enough strength to cast the binding on Naruto before being forced to rest and replenish his stores of magic.
I will place you at the border of the land of Wind. I will not be able to navigate the turbulence in that area with passengers on my back.
Sasuke startled at hearing Kisame's deep voice rippling through his mind. "You can speak?"
Of course. I am an elder dragon. We were the first creatures to develop language when the world and its magic was still new.
"Will Itachi be alright?" Sasuke could not stop the niggling of worry for his brother. He had never seen him so drained. He was essentially defenseless if someone wanted to come and take his life.
He is strong. I won't be long from his side. Once I return, I will breathe my magic onto him and he will transform me once more. He was foolish to cast the spell alone, but it could not be helped.
Kisame did not seem to mind taking human form and Sasuke did not ask his thoughts on the matter. He was more concerned with Itachi's wellbeing and Naruto's safety. Once they landed, they would be out of the reach of Fugaku for at least a while. The land of Wind disrupted magic enough that tracking them would prove difficult. They could not stay there forever, but it would prove helpful to them while they figured out what the next step would be.
Hold tight to me.
With those words, Kisame's body shifted downward and he began a near dive towards the earth below. In the distance, the large twisters that worked through the land of Wind could be seen running wildly across the deserts. Already the heat was making Sasuke uncomfortable. Heat was not detrimental to his magic, but it was more uncomfortable physically for him than with a normal human. He would have difficulty concentrating on any major spell casting he chose to perform while remaining so close to the desert. At least he and Naruto would be safe here.
Kisame hovered low to the ground, finally stopping near a series of large caves carved into the side of a large stone wall marking the edge of the land of Wind. You will be safe here for the time being.
"Thank you," said Sasuke as he pulled Naruto from Kisame's back.
Naruto's eyes blinked open again and he stared in wonder at Kisame's transformed body while leaning weakly against Sasuke. "Is that a dragon?"
"Idiot," said Sasuke with a smile on his face. "I'm glad to see you're finally awake."
"Well, I was tired." Naruto lifted a hand and scratched his ear. "Where are we?"
"The edge of Wind."
"Why?"
"I'll explain it later," he said and turned to face Kisame. "You should get back to Itachi. He looked pretty drained and I'm sure Father has discovered we are gone by now."
Agreed. Don't forget Itachi's words. Trust no one. Good luck to the two of you. With those words, Kisame arched his back and took to the sky once more. His long slender streamlined body weaved through the clouds until he disappeared from sight.
"That was Kisame."
"Thank you for the information," said Sasuke with a sarcastic hint in his voice. The heat was making him irritable.
"Did you know he could turn into a dragon?"
"He is a dragon."
Naruto visibly rolled his eyes. "That's not what I meant."
"It's complicated," said Sasuke, his hand wrapping around Naruto's wrist. "I'll explain it to you later."
Sasuke drew Naruto toward the nearest cave and wrinkled his nose at the stale scent permeating the area. He settled Naruto near the entrance and used his jewel to light of the interior of the cave. At least there was evidence that no animals had used the space as a den for some time. The last thing he wanted was to have to fight some hapless animal for the right to the cave.
"Sasuke?"
Sasuke stopped his perusal of their accommodations and glanced over towards where Naruto sat staring at the claws on his hands. "What is it?"
"What happened?"
Closing his eyes, he moved close to his Familiar and slid down the hard stone wall until he was settled on the ground beside him. "Your body decided it was time for you to reach your maturity. Do you remember attacking those men in town?"
Naruto visibly paled. "I attacked someone?"
"Tell me what you remember."
Naruto appeared to consider Sasuke's words for a moment. "I remember feeling very scared."
"They attempted to take you from me. If I had gotten there sooner, I would have killed them myself. Do you remember anything else?"
Naruto shrugged. "Just being really hot. I felt as if my skin was going to melt from me."
Sasuke could not stop a flush from paling his cheeks. He remembered in vivid detail what had happened between them while Naruto was still held in the clutches of the change. "The change was hard."
"Did I hurt you?" The panic in Naruto's voice caused Sasuke to shift closer to him. He leaned his shoulder against Naruto in a show of comfort while sending a rush of comforting emotions along their bond. The emotions racing into Sasuke from Naruto were a mixture of fear and elation.
"You didn't hurt me."
Naruto relaxed and closed his eyes, only to have them pop open. "Why are we here?"
"Father." Renewed rage boiled in Sasuke, causing his eyes to glow along with the bright, shimmering blue from his crystal. With the way Naruto was beginning to shift beside him, he realized his emotions were leaking along their bond and clamped down on the anger and frustration his father's actions had produced.
"Lord Fugaku?"
"Father wanted to break our bond. He was going to forcibly take you form me." Sasuke was shaking with anger. His hands were forced to grip at his cloak to keep the shaking at bay and ground himself to keep from tainting Naruto. Now that shock of the escape was fading, his anger nearly overwhelmed him. The flush of emotions were so acute and powerful, even his attempts to block their bond were proving difficult to maintain. A quick glance at Naruto showed him experiencing them as well. Ears were flattened against his head and the fur on his flicking tail was standing on end.
"Forgive me. I find myself having difficulty controlling my emotions," whispered Sasuke. He took several breaths in an attempt to calm himself. They were only marginally effective, but better than nothing.
"What are we going to do?" Naruto drew his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms tightly around them. "I don't want to have our bond broken. I like feeling you."
"Me as well." Sasuke stood and ran a hand through his hair. "I don't know what to do. Father shouldn't have even considered that. He knew you were nearing maturation and that you would be especially hard to control once that happened. Itachi said he had not been himself for some time, but even this seems beyond him. He has seen what severing the bond does to a sorcerer."
"Is this my fault?" Naruto's ears drooped slightly and his shoulders quivered. Through the bond, Sasuke could feel the despair and pain the thought caused him.
"No!" Sasuke spun on his heels and faced Naruto. "Something isn't right with Father. Itachi is going to look into it. It is not your fault."
Naruto did not look convinced. He settled his head on his up drawn knees. "Maybe you should let him break the bond."
"Out of the question." Sasuke wrapped his hands around Naruto's arms and gave him a little shake. "You're mine. I chose you. I won't let them take you from me."
"Well, you haven't really shown much interest lately. You'll probably be better with another Familiar."
Guilt washed through him at the truth in the words and the memory of what Itachi had said before they left the keep. He had been neglecting the bond instead of strengthening it. It was just that his desires seemed to overwhelm him to such a degree, he did not want them spilling into Naruto before his body was able to process them.
Sasuke shook his head and pressed their brows together. "Your magic is a part of me now. If you were taken from me by force, I would be a shadow of who I am now."
"You're just saying that."
Shaking his head, Sasuke took Naruto's clawed hand and placed it over the jewel on his chest. Warm pulsed between them as the bond became almost tangible between them while touching. "Can you feel you in me? My magic would be destroyed if what we share was broken. Uchiha are different from other sorcerers. Our bonds aren't easily broken, not even by death."
Naruto closed his eyes and leaned forward so that his brow rested on Sasuke's shoulder. They remained like that until the small amount of light filtering in from the entrance began to dim. With a wave of his hand, Sasuke sealed the entrance to keep out any wayward animals or people. His magic gave another small pulse and he created a thick blanket to spread over their bodies.
Almost as one person, they shifted so that they were lying together beneath the magically enhanced cloth. Even the heat of the area and Naruto's body did not seem quite so bad with Naruto curled around him. Closing his eyes, Sasuke set aside the thoughts running through his head and allowed his mind to be pulled into sleep. He would figure out what they were to do later.

oOo

Naruto nuzzled his face into Sasuke's cool neck. It was amazing how the cold that radiated from Sasuke could be so comforting. His arm wrapped even tighter around the waist beneath him. Contentment pulsed through him, bringing rise to a low rumbling purr from his chest.
In the haze of his sleep heavy mind, he vaguely noted the feel of a tightness beginning in his lower back. He could not place the feeling, and it was only mildly irritating. If anything, it was more of an itch in need of scratching. The sensation was pushed aside and he went back to nuzzling Sasuke's neck.
On instinct, his rough tongue darted out to taste the skin beneath his lips. It was lightly salty along with another unidentifiable taste. A small shiver went through his body and the feeling in his spine intensified. Heat began to pool in the area of his loins and a small rumbling growl rolled from his throat.
His tongue darted out again, wanting to taste more of the skin. Without even realizing it, his arm around Sasuke's waist tightened and he pulled him even tighter to him so that his crotch was pressed firmly against Sasuke's rear.
It was a mistake.
The animal now a present in his mind was more forceful than the faint ghost of animal instinct he had felt all of his life. This sound in the back of his mind was almost a living force, urging him to relent to his baser nature. It wanted to take. To mate. To claim.
Naruto panted lightly against Sasuke's neck and rolled his hips against the hard muscle pressed against him. That heat in his spine was now fully transformed into a burning. He felt the heat spread through his stomach and into his veins. The burning gave way to an ache. He could feel his lower region growing stiff as it was flooded with the heated blood.
Without thinking, the hand at Sasuke's waist drifted lower and latched onto boney hips. He gave an experimental thrust and the beast inside him howled with pleasure. It demanded he take what was his.
Another grinding thrust. And another.
Instead of stopping the heat, or even relieving it, the movements only served to cause his body to grow tauter with building pressure. He felt Sasuke stir against him, but was unable to stop his body. There was no strength in him to resist the beast. Even his vision seemed clouded by the need to thrust.
"Naruto?"
Naruto growled loudly and bit down on the curve of Sasuke's shoulder to hold him compliant. A gasping shout of pain and the taste of blood on his tongue drove him even higher. He was almost there, but the end of the run seemed unreachable. The harder and faster he thrust, the harder it was to bring himself over that ridge.
His hips bucked and twisted and he forced Sasuke to his stomach. The hands on the lean hips before him dragged them up and the position change gave him more leverage to thrust and grind against Sasuke. Whines and growls spilled from his throat as his thrusts became almost violent. He knew his grip was likely bruising the hips he held. Even knowing it, he could not stop instinct from controlling his every move.
Sasuke grunted, but did not pull away. The air around them crackled and chilled. Ice crystals grew on the walls and Naruto's breath became visible as puffs of white steam.
"Sasuke," he growled into the flesh still held with his teeth.
The answering response was a shimmering pulse of icy magic from Sasuke. If he wanted, Sasuke could have sent Naruto flying across the room with his magic. Instead of refusing, the magic caressed him. He could feel the touch of magic in the air around them and across the bond they shared. Both were nearly like a physical touch to his frayed and excited body.
The response was instantaneous. His thrusts became more erratic and uncontrolled.
His body shuddered and seized as his hips bucked against Sasuke. Waves of mind numbing pleasure were followed quickly by satisfaction rushing over him. His teeth remained buried in the cool flesh of Sasuke's shoulder while the remainder of his body went limp and crashed down onto the body beneath him.
His mind returned to him far too quickly. With a shout, Naruto jumped away from Sasuke as if scalded. Seeing the blood oozing from the punctures at the joint between Sasuke's neck and shoulder brought a sense of nausea to rise in the pit of his stomach. He could still taste the blood on his tongue, surprisingly cool and flavored by the magic that was a part of Sasuke's very core.
Sasuke was a little slower to rise from the makeshift bed created on the stone floor. His hand rose to the bite left in his throat and a small pulse of magic glowed in his fingers and in the blue crystal around his neck. Before Naruto's eyes, the wound closed until all that was left was unmarred skin.
The sated beast inside him gave a small growl to see his mark removed and no trace remaining. Naruto, now no longer controlled by instinct, pushed aside the beast. "Sasuke, I..."
"It's fine."
"No, it's not." Naruto reached forward to touch Sasuke, but stopped himself. He had used Sasuke, hurt him, and that did not sit well with him.
"You're in a highly sexual state. Itachi told me you would be like this until you can control yourself." Sasuke rolled his shoulders and rubbed his hips where Naruto had gripped him. "Not the way I would prefer to be woken up."
"Sorry."
Sasuke shook his head and stood. "We need to decide what to do. Itachi said Father was different when he returned from court. Something must have happened while he was there. I didn't notice because Father has been locked away in his laboratory nearly the entire winter."
"Wouldn't Itachi have noticed if something was different at court? He always accompanies Lord Fugaku."
Sasuke shook his head and stared off into space. "Itachi doesn't pay much attention to Father's actions. He prefers to focus only on his own intrigues. I doubt how they interact is much different than how it is in the keep."
Naruto cocked his head and stared at Sasuke for several minutes. Indecision pulsed along their bond and caused him to shift and fidget before a thought occurred to him. "Let's go to court."
Sasuke's head shot up. "What?"
"Something happened to your father, let's go and find out what."
"That won't work. Father's presence is always requested at the king's side. It would defeat the purpose of us running. Besides, I can't keep your instincts from taking over, or my own emotions. Itachi was right to say I had neglected our bond."
Naruto cocked his head and grinned. "Then teach me."
The thought of training with Sasuke again caused happiness to bloom to life in Naruto's chest. To not be blocked off from him excited Naruto that had he been a dog, he was sure his tail would have been wagging.
"Teach me to fight at your side. Teach me how to protect you." Naruto stood and moved to Sasuke's side, wrapping his arms around him. "Teach me how not to hurt you."
Sasuke stiffened for a moment before relaxing in Naruto's arms. "You're an idiot. You can't hurt me."
"What about earlier?"
"I told you, you didn't hurt me." Sasuke's skin paled slightly. "I could have thrown you off of me at any time."
"Then why didn't you?"
Sasuke was silent for several moments before answering. "Because I didn't want to."
Naruto froze. "But I hurt you."
A smirk quirked the corner of Sasuke's lips and he shifted so that his lips brushed the rim of Naruto's slickly furred ears. "When have you ever been known to hurt me?"
"But Sasuke..." Naruto shuddered at the feel of those lips passing over his fur. The burning need to claim was being brought to life once more and he clenched his fingers into fists to keep from acting on the need. "Please, Sasuke, teach me."
Sasuke stepped away and reached into the pouch he had discarded the night before. Inside was the silver dagger he had given Naruto. He extended the weapon to Naruto. "Don't lose that again. You may have claws now, but that's no excuse not to keep an enchanted weapon with you."
Naruto grinned when he took it and fastened the sheathed weapon to his waist. "Does this mean you're going to train me to protect you?"
"For now." Sasuke moved to the entrance of the cave and glanced up at the blue sky. "Something has to be done, but I won't be foolish enough to go searching for answers without being prepared."
Naruto shivered slightly, his ears falling to flatten against his skull. Even without possessing Sasuke's affinity for reading the magic on the wind, he could feel something brewing in the distance. It writhed and coiled like a snake preparing to strike. It was whispered on the wind and in the ground beneath his feet. Sasuke was right. They needed to be prepared for whatever the outcome. Now that he was matured, he could protect Sasuke as both his Familiar and his Guardian.
AN: Ummm I hope this chapter helped explain why the surface reasons why Fugaku wanted to break the bond instead of simply killing Naruto. It's because something else is in play and it doesn't want Sasuke to be bonded with Naruto. I hope you guys enjoy and leave comment to let me know :)
