Chapter One

Five months.

Five months had passed since the night Naruto had disappeared from Sasuke’s life, and with each passing day Sasuke’s hopes for being reunited with his love slowly started to fade. The more he lost his hope, the more he’d take it out on the people around him

After coming back from his daily walk down to the valley Sasuke stopped off at one of the many guest rooms in the house and banged his fist hard upon the door. “Dammit Kakashi get off of Iruka already. He’s been here two months! I swear I’ll castrate you if Tsunade comes tearing through my house looking for him again!”

He could hear shuffling coming from the room then as he turned to continue his walk to his study he heard Iruka saying firmly. “He’s right Kakashi I really should be getting back, oh don’t give me that look.”

Sasuke made his way into the lounge heading towards his study when a rich amused voice stopped him in his tracks. “Well don’t you look positively pissed off.”

He turned around to find Neji standing up from a chair along the same wall as the door he had just come through. He stepped up to grasp Neji’s hand firmly. “It’s good to see you again Neji.”

“Shikamaru told me about what happened here. I had wanted to come by to see you sooner but you know it’s been hard for me to get away from Suna. Apparently the stories about desert villages being an economical dump are true. I’ve finally managed to straighten things out enough that I can afford to leave without it crumbling while I’m away.”

“Figures your uncle would give you a village that has no value to him. He probably expects you’ll never be able to make anything out of it and just end up wasting your life away trying.” Sasuke said with a smirk. “I was just heading back to my study, join me we’ll talk and catch up.”

“So I heard Lee has been staying here.”

“For three months now. He insists he won’t leave until he’s helped to restore my youthful vigor.” Sasuke said with a slight sneer as they entered the study. “He’s off in the forest right now trying to do just that. I swear if he brings back another terrified fox I’m going to kill him.”

Neji couldn’t help but chuckle while taking a seat on a chair in the center of the room while Sasuke started to look through the papers on his desk.

“I learned something interesting about how Suna became mine. You know how as reward for my duties during the war the state was to give me my own portion of land. Well I always figured that they just did something similar to what they did for you by giving you back your families land. I believed that they had instructed my uncle to give up one of the villages that had been under my fathers control and were by right my inheritance.”

“I take it that wasn’t the case though.” Sasuke inquired, sitting back in his chair with feet propped upon his desk.

“You remember Nekomata valley. That beautiful farmland area that was right on our border that became part of the fire empire in exchange for protection during the war.”

“Yeah, you were the one that was sent to secure their borders and dragged me along to help. It was a pretty secure area since it was almost completely surrounded be mountain sides with only the area to it’s east accessible. Beautiful place, too many cats for my taste though.”

“Well apparently the people from that valley loved me so much that the council thought it best to appoint me as Lord to those lands. Since I was still technically too young to be given the title of Lord they put the lands under my uncles control till I came of age.”

“And of course your uncle, being the greedy bastard he is, decided not to tell you about those lands and instead gave you one of your fathers less desirable properties.” Sasuke mused as he dropped his feet back to the floor and leaned forward in his seat. “You know that’s considered a pretty big insult to give you a desert village when you were suppose to be in charge of a border village. Iruka might still be here, say something to him and im sure you’ll get Nekomata within a few months.”

“I know, I have thought about it a lot. But, I think I’d rather keep Suna. It’ll be hard but I can see it’s not a total lost cause. Why are you looking at me like that?” Neji snapped as he saw Sasuke staring at him like he was insane.

“Almost six months ago you were in here bitching about how horrible it was out there. Now all of a sudden you’re talking about it with this goofy love sick fool look upon your face.” Sasuke couldn’t hold back a smirk when a blush crossed Neji’s cheeks.

His satisfaction at seeing Neji squirm was short lived though when moments later the study door opened revealing a disgruntled Kakashi. “You know just because you have no sex life doesn’t give you the right to screw with mine.”

“I gained that right when you decided to screw your boyfriend in my house instead of your own!” Sasuke snarled out as he crossed his arms over his chest.

“Have you seen my house? It’s tiny and a complete mess. There’s no way I’m taking someone so refined as Iruka to a place like that. Maybe if you would travel at all then I could go and visit him instead of him having to come here.”

“What’s stopping you from leaving!” Sasuke nearly shouted in angry disbelief. “I don’t need you here. I rarely ever even see you half the time. I can do my work perfectly fine without you here. Hell I’ll probably have less work since I’m sure you’ve been sneaking your stuff in amongst my papers.”

“Why don’t you come back to Suna with me?”

Sasuke’s head snapped back towards Neji at the unexpected question. “What!”

“Shikamaru and I were talking and we agreed that a change in scenery would do you some good.” Neji said calmly, leaning back in his chair with his hands resting behind his head.

“No chance in hell am I going out to some desert hell hole. When will you people get it in your thick heads that I’m fine!” Sasuke yelled as he got up and stormed out of the room. “So just leave me the hell alone!”

“Well I tried.” Neji said with a sigh. “I didn’t think he’d go anyway.”

“He really needs to get out though. He’s just wasting away the minutes here. He’s lost all reason to live his life.” Kakashi said softly as he stared out into the hall.

In the tense silence that followed they could barely here Sasuke shout out “God dammit Lee leave the foxes alone! You’re never gonna find him!”

A beautiful red-haired woman sat upon a flat rock next to a sparkling lagoon. Softly humming a lullaby as she gently stroked her fingers over the soft golden fur of the one month old fox sitting upon her lap.

“Kushina.” a deep yet soft voice said from behind her.

She turned her head at the sound of her name and smiled as her eyes connected with the brilliant blues of her mate.

“Shh.” She spoke softly shifting slightly to make room on the rock. “He’s still sleeping.”

The young man moved to sit next to his wife, looking down at the small kit curled on her lap.

“He’s beautiful.” He whispered, turning his head to plant a kiss upon his wife’s cheek. “Just like you.”

“Me?” she gave a soft laugh as she smiled at him. “Look at this golden fur, Minato. Even in fox form he looks just like you.”

She sighed softly as Minato leaned forward to catch her lips in a soft kiss. Moments later a soft yip brought their attention back to the little kit who was now staring up at them with brilliant blue eyes. The little gold fox squirmed and yipped happily as Minato lifted him up off his mothers lap.

“Happy to see your father Naruto?” He asked the kit with a smile before placing a gentle kiss on the center of his head.

Naruto squealed happily, his little tongue darting out to lick Minato’s chin. “Such a smart child we have.” Kushina spoke in hushed awe. “Only one month old and can identify his father who he’s only seen three times.”

“I wish I could get away from the village more often.” Minato said sadly as he cradled the little fox to his chest. “I don’t like having to be away from him for so long when he’s so young. It hurts to be away from you both so much.”

“Too bad he wasn’t born in human form, the we could have left the forest to stay with you.” Kushina slid closer and rested her head on Minato’s shoulder. “I was so sure he would be human. What with having a human father, and I hadn’t been in fox form since we met. He defies all rationality.”

“How long do you think it will be before he’ll be able to speak to me.” Minato asked sadly as he listened to Naruto’s mews and yips of happiness.

“It’s hard to tell. Some guardians never gain the ability to talk with humans.” She gave a Minato a smirk. “But seeing as he’s our kid I’m sure he’ll grasp the hang of it by the time he’s ten.”

Minato smiled down at Naruto. “I guess I can wait ten years to truly talk to our son. In the meantime I got you to translate him for me.” He leaned over and caught his loves lips in his own for a quick kiss.

“Look at us.” Kushina whispered breathlessly as she rested against Minato’s shoulder while Naruto started to doze off once again. “Aren’t we just the happiest little family ever.”

And we were. We were so happy just the three of us. I never did get to speak with father but we communicated with each other just fine. Blue eyes stared out at empty ruins that surrounded him. What I wouldn’t give to go back to those days. To be that happy again. To see my family.

Nanaka19: Well here it is, the sequel you’ve been waiting for. Took me awhile to get it out, and gave me quite a few headaches as well. I hate when I know what I want to write yet can’t seem to get it out of my head and onto the screen.

This would have been out sooner but I got really lazy for awhile. Also I changed my personal goal on how long I feel a chapter should be. Have patience with me for it’s been hard going and im still a little unsure of a few things.

I decided to write a few one shot lemon side stories. I’ll let you know when I release one, as well as what pairing it features. I hope to have the first one out by chapter 7. Though I may just wait till the story is over before I do them.
