Here's Chapter Five, please let me know what you think ^^
Chapter Five
Karin walked boldly out of the front door as soon as the sun went down. Being a made vampire, she had a better immunity to sunlight than a born vampire like Sasuke did. It was one of the few perks in a long list of negatives. The biggest problem she found with being a made vampire, apart from loosing her werewolf side, was the worry that her maker would return. The one big weakness of someone who was turned was that their maker could hold them in thrall if they chose. Considering how she was turned, it was a constant nagging worry, and the reason why the world wasn't overrun with vampires. Only pure vampires could breed but their fertility levels were ridiculously low, and very few people agreed to be turned when there was the risk of being turned into what was essentially a zombie.
But being a made vampire meant that she wasn't as important as the born vampires, so she walked out of the front door, and as Sasuke wasn't with her, no one gave a damn. Erring on the side of caution she wandered through the town, picked up a latte, and generally acted as if she had no where pressing to be. Once she was sure that no one was following her, she made her way to the meeting place. Sasuke would be along later; he had accompanied his brother and some other vampires to a club, staying safe while giving his father the finger at the same time. Fugaku would be pissed off, but not suspicious. As soon as he could, Sasuke was going to slip out and follow her to the meeting place.
Karin sighed; two days, and things were already becoming insanely complicated. She hadn't found her mate before she was turned but she knew how the bonding went. If Naruto and Sasuke couldn't be together in these critical few months after their initial mating, they would slowly go insane. Her heart ached for her friend; she missed her wolf side, but being a vampire was freeing. A part of her still longed for a mate, but she hoped that she never met him, not after seeing how Sasuke was suffering. She finished her coffee and decided to head up to the meeting place, hoping that Sasuke wasn't too far behind her. She did not relish the thought of explaining to a pissed off werewolf all the reasons why he couldn't go charging into a vampire club to find his mate.

Sakura gazed down the hill, feeling quite concerned; they had been at the tree since sunset, and so far Sasuke and his friend had yet to appear. She was quite glad that Naruto was held up at Tsunade's; the waiting was making her nervous, and her mate was sat beside her, flicking through the book. Naruto would likely be gnawing through the tree if he were there; either that or charging into the middle of the vampire side of town to find his missing mate.
"Are you sure we're in the right place?" She asked Kiba.
"This is the only old oak tree on a hill in a ten mile radius. I'm pretty sure it's the right place," he replied, placing a hand on her knee. "Naruto got caught up with something else, maybe the same is true for Sasuke."
"As long as he hasn't been found out," Sakura said. Although, if anything bad had happened to Sasuke, Naruto would know. But what if it had happened after they had left Naruto's house? What if, at that moment, he was fighting off dozens of vampires who had hurt his mate? Sakura forced the thought away; worrying would not help them. She plucked the book out of Kiba's hands, mainly for something to do. It was all gibberish, even if it had been in a language she could read it would have been hard to make out; the text was faded, and some of the pages frayed.
"Someone's coming," Kiba said, grabbing her wrist.
Sakura closed the book, and frowned at the red haired woman climbing the hill. She hoped it was Karin; if it wasn't, something had gone very wrong. Sasuke wasn't with the woman, and that made Sakura even more nervous. She rose to her feet, tucking the book behind her belt in case they had to react quickly. The damn thing was their only lead, even as useless as it was proving to be.
The woman stopped a few feet from them, eyeing them suspiciously. She quickly glanced around, as if she expected to see someone else, before returning her gaze to Sakura and Kiba.
"Are you Karin?" Sakura asked eventually.
"Who are you?" Was the immediate reply.
Sakura realised that the vampire, because she could definitely smell that the woman was a vampire, was as wary as they were. Either it was Karin, and Sasuke was delayed for some reason, or the vampires had found out, and sent a single vampire to the meeting place to intercept them. Sakura doubted that it was the latter, if they had been discovered, the place would be swarming with vampires.
"I'm Sakura, and this is my mate, Kiba," Sakura said. "Naruto said he told you about us."
"Where is he?" The woman asked.
"He was held up. Where's Sasuke?"
A wry smile appeared on the woman's face. "He was held up," she said. "I am Karin, by the way. I suppose it's a good thing that they're both delayed."
Sakura agreed. It would be no fun trying to keep one of them from charging after the other. She sat back down, and pulled the book out. "I suppose we should get to work while we're waiting," She said.
Karin hesitated a moment before closing the distance between them. She sat down cross-legged in front of Sakura, and held out her hand for the book. Sakura handed it to her, hoping that she would be able to read it; hoping that she could be trusted to tell the truth about the contents.
Karin caught her eye, and shot her a wry smile before she flicked the book open, and began to read.

Sasuke checked his watch, suppressing a wince; two hours of darkness had been wasted so far, and he didn't think that he would be escaping any time soon. He had accompanied his brother to The Flame, the only club in the town, thinking that he would be able to slip away quickly without anyone noticing. Normally Itachi and his lovers would pick up a human or three, and vanish for the evening. So far, that had not happened.
The Flame was called a club, but in reality barely classified when compared to it's counterparts in the cities. It was a big hall that had once been a barn, with a bar at one end, booths at the other and a large dance floor in the middle. It was owned by the Uchiha family, and was one of the top places to feed during the night when there wasn't anything going on at the main house. A few extra rooms had been added for those who liked to feed in private. It also doubled as the Scout Hut, and the venue for the productions by the local amature dramatics group. Nobody could say that Fugaku Uchiha wasn't an asset to the community.
Sasuke had grabbed a drink and sat down, expecting Itachi to move straight to the dance floor. Instead his brother, along with his two lovers, Neji and Hinata, sat down with him. Sasuke supposed that he should be thankful that the other vampires who had tagged along with them had vanished into the crowd, but he suspected that Itachi had his reasons for bugging him. Two hours later, his brother was still making small talk, the wry smile on his face proof that he knew Sasuke had somewhere he would rather be.
Hinata had long ago become bored; her eyes were tracking the dance floor, which had filled up since they had arrived. She was probably hungry, and Sasuke hoped that Itachi noticed this, soon. Neji was mainly watching Itachi; he had figured that he was playing with Sasuke and seemed content to just observe. Sasuke tried not to grind his teeth. If it had been just Itachi there, he might have considered telling him about Naruto, but it was rare to get Itachi alone without the other two present. Itachi didn't really care about werewolves one way or another, and Sasuke had the feeling that Hinata was the same, but Neji's father had been killed by werewolves back when the fighting had still been going on. It was a few centuries ago, but Sasuke knew that vampires could hold a grudge for a long, long time.
"Do you have somewhere to be?" Itachi asked, casually taking a sip of his drink.
"Not really, I just didn't expect it to be this busy this time on a Sunday night," Sasuke replied. "There are a lot of humans out tonight. I don't know about you, but watching them is making me hungry." He flicked his eyes to Hinata, and she nodded in agreement.
Unfortunately, He wasn't lying. The blood from Naruto hadn't been anywhere near enough to keep him full, and he was hungry again. He was tempted to take a bite of one of the humans writhing on the dance floor, although he knew that they could never taste as good as Naruto. He wanted to see Naruto; he was desperate to hold him. He liked to think that Itachi wouldn't be messing with him if he knew how badly Sasuke was suffering from being kept from his mate, but he could never be too sure; one of Itachi's favourite hobbies was Sasuke baiting.
"Not really," Itachi replied, Ignoring Hinata's pleading look. "We ate before we came out."
"We had sex before we came out," Hinata said. "I'm still hungry." Her eyes glazed as they tracked to the dance floor.
"You are being a bit mean, Itachi," Neji added. "I think it's sweet that Sasuke has found someone he wants to have more than a quick meal from."
Sasuke tried to hide his surprise, wondering how much they knew. They couldn't know that Naruto was a 'wolf, not with Neji looking at him with a slightly patronising grin on his face.
"I find it strange that Sasuke wants to keep it a secret," Itachi replied. His eyes narrowed, and he gazed at Sasuke thoughtfully.
Sasuke forced a smile. "Well, now you know," he said, "and I really have to go." He stood and began to slide out of the booth, but Itachi's hand on his wrist stopped him.
"Why are you being so secretive?" He asked.
Sasuke bit his lip; he didn't want to lie to Itachi, but there was no way he could tell the truth. "Because...ok, if you must know, he lives on the other side of the river. And his mother hates vampires."
Itachi exchanged looks with Neji and Hinata. Sasuke was quite impressed that he had managed to tell the truth without giving himself away; he hated lying to his brother.
"I really don't see what the problem is," Hinata said. "Just don't do anything stupid like turning him, and make sure he comes to see you. Can we please get someone to eat now?"
Neji was nodding in agreement. Itachi continued to look at Sasuke for a long moment, as if he suspected that there was more to the story. Sasuke maintained a bland expression, despite his brother's scrutiny.
Finally, Itachi sighed and looked away. "Just be careful," he said. "The last thing we need is for you to get caught sneaking around on the wrong side of the river. Werewolves and vampires have been ignoring the treaty for years, but now that father's aware of 'wolves on this side of the river, you can expect the werewolf council will know, as well."
"I'll be careful," Sasuke said, rising to his feet. The need to see Naruto was getting harder to ignore; in fact, it was so distracting that it wasn't until a lot later that he questioned Itachi's phrasing, and began to wonder how much his brother knew about the conspiracy Karin had mentioned.
He slipped out of a back entrance, just in case his father had someone watching the front, and hurried towards the meeting place. He was hungry, and should have really stopped to drink the blood of one of the many willing donors in the club, but his need to see Naruto was greater; an ache inside that made his hunger seem paltry and insignificant.

It was still light out when Naruto and Minato left for dinner with Tsunade. Naruto was glad; hopefully they would be finished in a few hours and he could spend the rest of the evening with Sasuke. He had sent Sakura and Kiba to the meeting place, hoping that Sasuke wouldn't be too upset at him for being late. It wasn't like he could say no to Tsunade without a good excuse; besides, he was curious. His father's cryptic comments had him piqued; he hoped that whatever it was, it was worth cutting into his precious Sasuke time.
"So, have you heard anything from Mum?" He asked as they walked the short distance to Tsunade's house. As much as he loved his mother, he hoped that she stayed away a bit longer, at least until he had found some way to convince her that not all vampires were like the ones that had killed her cousins.
"Nothing; the last I heard, she was worried about her phone being traced, so I stopped calling her. I'm sure she's fine, though. She's far tougher than a few rogue vampires. Besides, if anything did happen to her, I would know."
Naruto nodded. He didn't doubt that she was tougher than the vampires; that was a big part of his problem. It reminded him, though, that he really needed to get a new phone now he was back in the country. At least that way he would be able to contact Sasuke during the day. He wondered how his father managed, being separated from his mate for such a length of time; every second Naruto was away from Sasuke was painful. He hoped that it was because they were newly mated. Maybe things got better the longer you were together. Or maybe you just got used to the pain. There was one way to find out; he glanced at his father, aiming for an expression that said casual.
"How do you manage with her being away?" He asked. "I mean, Kiba and Sakura were kept apart, and they hated it. I've heard that it gets harder after mating."
Minato didn't look surprised at the question. "Well," he said, "I don't exactly like her being away for years at a time; before I was on the council I would go with her when she went on a hunt. It's different to what happened with Kiba and Sakura; that was mainly due to their age, and as soon as they were mated no one would dream of keeping them apart. I suppose you should know this for when you do find your mate; the first year is critical. The mate bond is nothing as simple as just consummating the mating, or even having the ceremony. Being together strengthens the bond, until you're complete. It doesn't matter how far apart you are physically once the bonding is truly complete, you'll always be together."
A soft smile had formed on his face as he spoke, and Naruto envied him. That was what he had always thought the mate bond should be, and he wished that his own experience was more like that of his parents. They walked the rest of the way in silence.
Tsunade's house was large; she had owned it for close to 150 years, and the land it stood on for considerably longer, but as she was constantly modernising it, it fit in with the rest of the houses on the street, which had been built fairly recently. The outside of the house was immaculate, the lawn freshly mowed, and the boarder plants placed in military precision. There was not a weed to be seen. The only glaringly out of place item was the lime green 1978 VW camper parked haphazardly on the driveway. Tsunade's mate was slightly eccentric and had a taste for vintage items. Although, to be fair they weren't vintage when he brought them. Naruto thought it possibly had more to do with a magpie nature and a reluctance to throw anything away. A tendency that could prove problematic when you lived for centuries.
Tsunade opened the door before they had a chance to knock, and swept Naruto into a tight embrace. Naruto wasn't as prepared as he should have been, and was practically smothered by her ample breasts. He was gasping for breath as his father was subjected to the same treatment. Minato had either learned from his son's mistake, or been prepared; he stepped up into the house, so he was at eye level instead of breast level.
Once Minato had been released, Naruto was grabbed again, and dragged into the house. "I'm sorry to hear that you still haven't found your mate," Tsunade said as she lead him through the living room and straight into the dining room. "I'm sure that she's out there-"
"I've decided to stay in town for a while, if that's what you were subtly leading up to," Naruto said.
Tsunade shot him a quick grin. "Good," she said. "You'll meet your mate when you're ready and not before. There's no point running around the world searching."
She certainly had that right, Naruto thought. The whole time he had been looking for his mate, he was right there on the other side of the river. He smiled at Tsunade and glanced around the room. The table was laid for three, not four, he noted, and there was a jug of water instead of wine in the centre of the table. It was a sure sign that this dinner was more business than pleasure. He glanced at Tsunade, cocking his eyebrow questioningly. She shot him a conspiratory smile.
"I know you're probably dying to catch up with Jiraiya, but he's in the middle of doing extensive research at the moment." Which translated as she had him watching porn upstairs to keep him out of her way. Tsunade had very clear rules on separating work and family; the only reason that Naruto knew that she and Jiraiya were mated when he first started working with her was because they were close friends with his parents. As well as being the chief of police for their side of the river, Tsunade also had a seat on the council. Jiraiya mainly wrote dirty books. Naruto supposed that their mating was clearly a case of opposites attract.
Naruto sat next to his father as Tsunade placed plates in front of them; as she was a terrible cook, he wasn't surprised to see that she had just got take out from the local Chinese.
"So, are you buttering me up in preparation for offering me a cool new job?" Naruto asked as he dug into his fried rice.
"In a way," Tsunade said with a slight smile. Her expression turned serious a moment later. "Look, I would love this to be a social call, and I really do want to hear all about your travels, but the truth is, things here are not as good as they may seem."
Naruto frowned. He had been pretty caught up in Sasuke, but as far as he was aware, not a lot had changed while he had been away. "What do you mean?"
"It's the treaty, of course," Tsunade said after taking a sip of water. "It's always the damn treaty. After that bloody rogue that your mother found, we became more vigilant than we had been; that Fugaku claimed that the vampire had nothing to do with him, but it had been on his land for weeks before we noticed people going missing. I'm not prejudiced like some; I know that Fugaku is no fool. There's no way he wouldn't notice a killer on his land."
"What did the vampires say?" Naruto asked, wondering how much Sasuke had known about this. It gave him a horrible feeling, like snakes in his belly, that Sasuke would know that there was a vampire going around murdering people, and not do anything about it.
Tsunade snorted. "Not a lot of anything. That they would sort it. Meanwhile, two humans had shown up dead. That's when your mother decided to take matters into her own hands and go all vigilante. Anyway, after that, we started patrolling both sides of the river, and we noticed something. Werewolves hanging out in vampire bars, vampires on our side of the river. I have no idea how long it's been going on for, but all those involved are young."
"But is that necessarily a bad thing?" Naruto ventured. "I mean, if it proves that vampires and werewolves can coexist without violence..." he trailed off as Tsunade scowled at him.
"The council have agreed that it is a serious breach of the treaty," she said. "While I can see what you are saying in theory, I think that the main reason there is no violence is because no one wants to get caught. Anyway, that's not the worst part."
Since Naruto himself was guilty of breaking the treaty in several very serious ways, he was quite glad of this. "What's the worst part?" He asked.
"In some cases, it goes beyond a bit of childish curiosity. We think that some of the younger werewolves are idolising vampires, and trying to emulate them."
"Are you sure they're not just going through an emo phase?" Naruto asked.
"A criminal activity in it's own right," Minato muttered.
Tsunade's lips quirked in the ghost of a smile. "I admit, it could just be over protective parents; those involved are very young, barely past twenty. But their age is what makes them vulnerable. Naruto, I want you to befriend them, and see how serious this really is; they were children when you left, so none of them will connect you with me."
Naruto carefully put his fork down, sure that this was some sort of elaborate hoax. "You're saying that you want me to hang out with a bunch of kids. And you're going to pay me for this?"
"Naruto, this is a serious undercover operation. I'm hoping that this is hyperbole on the part of the parents, but there is a very real possibility that there is someone influencing these children."
Naruto sighed. As if he didn't have enough to worry about, Tsunade wanted him to be a babysitter. Although, it could possibly work in his favour.
"I'm going to need a place to stay." He turned to his father. "No offence, dad, but if these guys really are vampire obsessed, they're not going to trust Kushina Uzumaki's son. Preferably somewhere on the outskirts of town. New, loner wolf is the perfect persona to invite into their cult or whatever."
"Oh God, I hope it's not a cult." Tsunade muttered. "The council went nuts over the number of werewolves and vampires freely crossing the river. I've been able to keep this from them so far, but I need something concrete for the parents, one way or another. Otherwise they'll go to the council, who will overreact, and likely plunge us into world war three. One of my family farms is empty; I'll give you a good deal on the rent."
Naruto smiled. If he had a house out of the way, he had somewhere to take Sasuke without anyone getting suspicious about the vampire smell. If the kids were that obsessed, any remainder of Sasuke's presence would likely help him garner their trust. Plus, because he was undercover, it wasn't like Tsunade or his father could just drop in uninvited. It was like fate was offering to shower him off after shitting on him.
"You understand that this is top secret," Minato said. "Tsunade and I are the only council members who know. I think that you keeping a low profile over the last few days has worked out in our favour; I don't think that some of your friends even know you're back yet."
"I think we should keep it that way, at least for now," Tsunade added. She stood up from the table, and walked over to the large cabinet that occupied the length of one wall. She opened a draw, and pulled a few items out. The first she placed in front of Naruto was a mobile phone.
"This is a for work use only," she said. "Once you're set up with your cover, this is how we will stay in touch."
Naruto nodded. Finally, he would be able to exchange numbers with Sasuke. A glance out of the window showed the sun sinking. Tsunade seemed to be wrapping things up; hopefully he wouldn't end up being late to see Sasuke after all.
The next items Tsunade placed on the table were photographs. Two brown haired boys; one with an unflattering bowl cut and glasses, and a girl with copper hair. Naruto gazed at them searchingly for a long moment; they were no one he knew.
"These are the one's were sure of being involved; their parents are the ones that approached me to investigate. There could be more. Konohamaru is part of the Sarutobi family; Moegi and Udon are both from families who arrived here fairly recently. Moegi works in the cafe on Broad Street, the other two are jobless. They're all university students; one theory is that a fellow student put the idea of vampires being cool in their heads."
"The university isn't one that allows vampires and werewolves, is it?" Naruto asked.
Tsunade curled her lip. "No one from this town has ever attended a coed university, Naruto," she said.
They decided that Tsunade would show Naruto the house in the morning; she said that it needed some work, so Naruto was expecting it to be a bit of a dump. He didn't care, not if it meant he could see Sasuke inside. Tsunade handed him a folder; a stalker's paradise of character descriptions and common hang outs. He knew he was going to feel like a complete creep reading it. He was just getting ready to sneak out when Jiraiya came down the stairs, and insisted that they open a bottle of wine to celebrate his home coming. Naruto tucked the folder, phone and photos away with a sigh. There was no way he could decline; not without explaining about Sasuke. And as much as he trusted them, he wanted to build up to the whole vampire mate thing.
Eventually, he begged off with a headache. It was true; being apart from Sasuke was making his head pound. He had kept them company for hours longer than he should have, and he was beginning to feel resentful. Since, despite eating triple helpings at dinner, he was still feeling hungry, he grabbed some leftover noodles to tide him over. He hurried out of the house, feeling his headache receding the closer that he got to Sasuke. He wasn't as discreet as he could have been, dashing through town in an effort to get as close to Sasuke as soon as possible. Instead of taking the quickest route he knew to the tree, he followed the bond, the need to see Sasuke pulling him forward. It wasn't until he heard the gurgling of the water that he realised that he was at the river's edge.
Frowning, Naruto glanced around, wondering how he had managed to get to the river; he was standing in a field outside the town, and the tree was to his left, technically back the way he had come. But Sasuke was to his right. Naruto didn't pause to wonder at that, didn't recall that there was a bridge just a little way further up the river, didn't care that despite the fact that it was summer the evening was still cool. He jumped into the river, and waded across, intent on getting to Sasuke. It wasn't deep, only coming up to his waist, but the water was freezing. Naruto didn't care.
He dragged himself up onto the opposite bank, and continued to head towards Sasuke. He could see a figure on the other side of the field, and he knew it was him. He broke into a run, seeing Sasuke do the same. Knowing he was there, it felt like a weight lifting off of him. They met in the middle of the field, barely slowing down as they collided into an embrace. They sank to the ground, gripping each other tightly, lips meeting in a desperate kiss.
"Why are you wet," Sasuke asked, his lips trailing down Naruto's throat. His fangs ached to sink into him, but he held back, not sure that Naruto would be able to give blood again so soon.
"I crossed the river. I've missed you so much."
"I'm sorry I was late."
Naruto frowned at him. "I thought I was the late one," he said. He slid his hands under Sasuke's top, digging his fingers into his mate's smooth skin.
"You were late? Why? Has someone found out?" Sasuke pulled away, staring into Naruto's eyes, panicked at the thought.
"No, I just had a meeting that I couldn't get out of. I think it went well. Why were you late?"
Sasuke scowled. "My father doesn't think it's safe for me to be out alone. I had to escape from my brother."
"Shit," Naruto muttered, running his fingers through Sasuke's hair. "Do you think any of them know about us?"
"My brother thinks I have a human lover; my father knows nothing."
"Good," Naruto said, capturing Sasuke's lips in another kiss. He felt his mate's body melt against him, and groaned. "I want you so badly," he said, sliding his hand between them to grasp Sasuke's cock.
Sasuke gasped. He had been half hard most of the way there, the anticipation of seeing Naruto burning in his veins. Now he was erect and aching, longing for Naruto. "I sent Karin ahead," he said in a half hearted protest, "and your friends are going to be there. We should really-" He broke off with a groan as Naruto squeezed his dick.
"Fuck them," Naruto snarled harshly. "I have to have you now; you can feel it too. I can barely think anymore."
Sasuke could feel it; all his life, he had needed sex as a means of sustenance. He had never, ever needed someone the way he needed Naruto. Their kisses became harder, and Sasuke groaned at the taste of blood as one of his fangs caught Naruto's lip. Naruto pulled away, a smear of blood left enticingly on his lip. Sasuke longed to taste it; lust and hunger twisting inside him. Naruto grinned, and then winced. Before Sasuke could ask him what was wrong, they were kissing again, Naruto's tongue deep in his mouth. Sasuke could taste blood again; Naruto had bitten his tongue. For some reason he found that oddly touching, and incredibly arousing. He sucked on Naruto's tongue, wanting to taste as much of his blood as possible before his saliva closed the wound up.
Their clothing seemed to melt away as they continued to kiss; Sasuke allowed himself to be pushed onto his back, and felt a cool wetness at his hole. Naruto must have brought lube with him. He groaned as Naruto entered him; with barely any preparation the penetration stung, but in a good way. He briefly wondered when it would be his turn to top; he was pretty versatile, as most vampires were, but Naruto seemed to be more of a top. That was fine, but Sasuke had already been forced to give up sex with girls; he was not going to give up the feeling of sinking his cock deep into another man. Especially when that man was Naruto. His cock ached at that thought, then all thought was beyond him as Naruto began to move.
Sasuke arched his back, and dug his nails into Naruto's flesh, clinging on as Naruto pounded into him. As had happened every time with Naruto, he could feel the energy, but couldn't reach out to feed from it. He was so hungry that he was tempted to try, but every time he did, his focus shattered. He gave up, instead riding the feeling of being connected to Naruto. It wasn't enough; he needed more. If he could climb into Naruto, and become one with him that way, he would.
"Bit me," Naruto groaned into his ear, twisting his neck to expose his throat.
Sasuke should have refused; he didn't know if it was different for werewolves, but no human could be a daily supply of blood. And until he knew for sure, he should treat Naruto as if he were a human blood donor. But he was so hungry, and the thought of feeding from Naruto while they were fucking had him close to coming. He opened his mouth, let his fangs extend to their full length, and sank them into Naruto's flesh.
Naruto cried out, and gave a few more deep thrusts before coming hard. Sasuke followed him, the taste of his blood and the feeling of him coming undone pushed him over the edge. He allowed himself a few more seconds of Naruto's blood, before licking the wound closed, and returning his mouth to Naruto's.
They kissed for a while, just savouring the taste of each other, hands softly caressing and exploring. Eventually Naruto broke the kiss so he could speak.
"So, I suppose we should catch up with the others," he said.
Sasuke snorted. "Fuck them," he said.
"No, only ever you," Naruto replied, grinning.
Sasuke rolled his eyes, and ran his fingers through Naruto's blond locks. He wondered what he would look like in the sunlight,feeling a pang of regret that he would never get to see it.
"As much as I would like to just stay here with you, it won't sort out our problems in the long term," he said.
Naruto sighed. "Yeah, I suppose. I wonder if Karin has been able to make any sense out of that book." He leaned away from Sasuke to grab his clothing, while still keeping their legs tangled together. Getting undressed had been far easier than getting dressed while trying to keep as much body contact as possible. It was strange, but Sasuke felt so much better just from the simple fact that he now had Naruto's scent on him. He was already dreading the necessity of washing it off later. He would have suggested changing into their animal forms; he had yet to see Naruto as a wolf, and he was curious, but the chances of them not being able to find their clothes later, even with vampire and werewolf senses, was quite high.
They walked slowly to the meeting place, hand in hand. There was still quite a few hours of night left, and they were both enjoying just being in each other's company. It was peaceful, and right. The peace couldn't last; Naruto let out a sigh of regret as they reached the bottom of the hill, and Sakura called out to them.
"I really don't want to share you with anyone tonight," Naruto said ruefully. The look in Sasuke's eyes reflected the sentiment. "But if it helps us to be together without all the sneaking around, I guess I can live with it."
Then Sakura was at the bottom of the hill, grabbing Naruto's wrist and pulling him upwards, babbling excitedly. Naruto allowed himself to be pulled, tugging Sasuke along with him, and tried to dredge up his usual level of enthusiasm for a mystery.
