Chapter I: Kitsune
Bright sunlight shone through the transparent windows as the curtains were not drawn the last night. Birds were chirping happily for the new day to start and that a certain raven haired boy was tossing and turning on the bed, unwilling to wake up. He was trying to block the brightness by covering himself with the blanket. Unfortunately, the bed was getting warmer.
A knock on the door and a voice was heard. “Young Master. It's already afternoon. Master is waiting for you.”
The raven haired boy groaned in displeasure.
He dragged himself to the bathroom with his eyes still half-opened. He took a quick glance at the clock, it did not ring. `I wonder what time is it now..'
He decided to take a quick shower to wash himself up. While he was brushing his teeth first thing in the morning, he recalled his brother mentioning about going for a hunt today because there were rumors that demons were roaming in the forest. Those demons could transform themselves into a human being.
He knew his brother would get alittle fussy and irritated every morning. He quickly got his things done and himself changed before rushing down the stairs, to look for his brother immediately, hoping that he was not late.
Beside him was Sakura, one of the servants in the mansion. “Young Master, Master is waiting for you at the front door.”
“Hn.” Sasuke hurried, heading to the front door.
“Young Master.” The pink haired girl called out again, “Young Master Neji called you just now, asking you to call him after you come back from hunting.”
“Oh.. Alright.” The black haired boy replied, “Thanks.”
The pink haired girl bowed, “It's my job, Young Master.”
Well.. True enough. Uchiha Itachi was standing by the door, waiting impatiently with his feet kept tapping on the ground. He had his rifle with him. His face did not look very pleasant.
“Hn.” Sasuke nodded to greet, “Gomen for being late.”
Itachi's mouth twitched alittle, “Well.. Make sure that we catch one today then.”
“Hn.” He replied.
“Why are you bringing a rifle when you usually bring bow and arrows?” the younger one asked, “I thought you say you want the animal to be alive when auctioning?”
“Little brother. We are dealing with demons.” The older Uchiha showed a it's-so-obvious expression on his face.
Sasuke twitched alittle on the two words `little brother'. He shrugged it off anyway.
The older Uchiha led the way. Two horses, black and white, were waiting outside their mansion. Standing besides were..
“Masters, the horses are ready whenever you are.” Lee and Shikamaru bowed and said.
“Ok. You two may go now. Take care of the house.” Itachi gestured them off.
“Hai. Master.”
Itachi climbed onto the white one and Sasuke on the black one. They would go hunting at least once a week, which made the younger one feel bored. He just couldn't understand what his Aniki liked animals and auctioned them off.
As they went off on their horses, to the direction where the forest was.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
They had reached the middle of the forest and got off from the horses so as not to scare the prey off. The two brothers began to walk deeper as the trees had already blocked most of the sunlight. It was like almost three hours past with nothing seen.
Sasuke was getting impatient and started to probe, “You sure there's a demon here?”
Itachi sighed, “I guess that's all for today.”
“Hn.” Sasuke nodded and followed behind his brother.
Just when they were about to turn and walk towards the direction of the village, a rustle came from the nearby bushes. Itachi immediately pulled Sasuke behind a big tree and waited for any other movement again in the bushes.
Rustle.. Rustle..
A kitsune's head popped out from the undergrowths and its body slowly showed as the kitsune strolled out of the bushes. Itachi felt his mind was like screaming with excitement. The kitsune was a cub, just nice to sit on your laps. It had a fiery orange yet yellow coat of fur and a pair of magnificent ocean blue eyes. What so unique was that this fox had not one, but nine tails!
The younger Uchiha was so surprised with the sight of the beautiful animal in front of them. Itachi put the rifle on his shoulder in position, ready to shoot. Sasuke almost yelled at his brother but controlled his volume.
“What are you trying to do?” Sasuke whispered.
“Well.. There's one in front of us and we're gonna take it.” Itachi aimed.
“But he is just a cub.” Sasuke locked his eyebrows.
“Che. He is just a demon.” Itachi shrugged it off.
Itachi was about to pull the trigger when Sasuke pushed him off. Fortunately, the bullet had hit its right foreleg. Well.. Itachi was always aimed for the head or the heart of an animal. The kitsune flinched and growled. It ran away into the bushes with a swift movement before the younger Uchiha could catch up.
“Chikusou!” Itachi cursed, “What are you doing??”
Sasuke frowned. The cub had gone towards the village. `Maybe it's not too late to catch up with him.' He decided to run towards the direction where the kitsune had ran.
“Where are you going?” Itachi called up for the boy.
Sasuke ignored him and continued went off chasing the cub.
Itachi narrowed his eyebrows. He was definitely unhappy about the issue just now. He sighed as he went the opposition direction of the village.
`Mission failed I guess.'
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Sasuke was walking along the street of a certain village where he was unfamiliar about. He looked around and noticed that there was not many people on the street. Only a few teens about his age playing at the alley. `Where is that little kits..'
“Go to hell!!” Someone shouted that interrupted his thoughts, “Go to hell you demon!!”
Sasuke turned and saw it were actually those teens he saw early. `Did he just say demon? Maybe is that little kitsune..' He quickened his pace towards that group of boys. In fact, to his disappointment, it was not that cub but a tanned blond. He was curled up and got kicked several times by the boys around him.
“You sickening fox!!” one shouted as he threw a punch to the blond's face but the child blocked the attack with his arms.
`Fox?' Sasuke noticed his face had three whiskers on each side. His eyes were sapphire blue and his right arm was bleeding as if it had gotten.. `SHOT??' Sasuke began to wonder if that blond was the cub he saw early when..
“You don't deserve to live!!” a teen, looked much older than the rest pulled the blond by the collar of his shirt, “Go to hell then!” and he threw the boy to the wall. The poor child did not even return a punch to them.
That teen then walked towards him and lowered himself on top of him, “Let's take a look at your seal on your abdomen, shall we?” as he lifted the shirt of the one below him.
The raven haired boy could not stand looking by the side, doing nothing. He walked towards them.
“Iie.. Go a..way..” the blond cried. “Ha.. Hanase..” as he tried to push the heavier boy away, “Ha.. Hanase.. O.. Onegai..”
“Urusai!” he was about to swing his fist to punch the blond when a hand grabbed his wrist tightly. It squeezed his wrist which made him cry out and rolled on the ground. “Who the hell are you, bastard!!”
A pair of crimson eyes stared right into his, which made a shiver down to his spine. An angry expression was clearly seen on his face. He trembled and stood up fast to run away with the rest of the group.
`What are they thinking?? They almost killed a child!!'
The black haired then turned his attention towards the blond, who had tears flowing from his eyes and curled up. His shirt was torn and he looked ragged. He was licking his wound on his right arm. Sasuke was sure that was the kitsune he saw earlier in disguise.
He kneeled in front of him and attempted to touch him when the child backed up to the wall. He trembled. The Uchiha widened his eyes with confusion but finally realised that his sharingan was still there. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again.
A pair of dark night eyes stared at the sapphire ones. There was something about him so similar to the kitsune he saw earlier. The feeling is the same. Definitely is the same! `He is a fox demon huh..'
Sasuke slowly stretched his hand out to his cheeks. The blond once again backed up to the wall. He shut his eyes tight and waited for the same impact he had countered before. The punch, the slap and the kick.
But those impact didn't come. It was a gentle touch, caressing his cheek which made him snap his eyes opened. Sasuke was glad that the child was accepting him as he leaned towards his touch and let out a purr sound. `So sweet..'
The raven haired teen edged closer and wiped away the blood from his mouth. He then tore his shirt sleeves and wrapped the wound around his right arm.
The black haired asked as he wiped the tears from his face, “What your name?”
The child looked as if he hesitated for awhile before saying his name, “Na.. Naruto.. Uzumaki.. Naruto..”
“That's a nice name.” Sasuke commented. `I'm thinking I'm liking this one..'
Naruto blushed upon hearing the comment. He then ask the taller one, “Who.. Who are you?”
The Uchiha smirked, “Your master.” And he pulled the shivering child closer to him for a warm embrace. `Keep him then..'
The blond murmured, “My master?”
Sasuke pulled away alittle and lifted his chin, “Yes. Your master.”
Their lips were somehow drawing closer to each other. Just one inch closer and they would have kissed when Naruto fainted in the Uchiha's arm.
`Nii-san.. Are you sure this cute little kitsune is the fiery demon, which needed you to point your rifle at?'
Sasuke sighed. He then piggybacked the blond and started phoning his chauffeur, Shino.

-Naruto's POV-
I was searching around for food in the forest when I noticed there were humans nearby. I came out of the undergrowth and searched around for the scent. There were two scent in fact. One smelled so dangerous and another smelled so good.
I was sniffing around when something shot at my right foreleg. I growled and turned to run for my life. Every human hated the demons. Everyone was out to get hold of us.
I came to a village. This was the last place I wanted to come. I quickly transformed myself to a human being. Well.. I still could not get rid of the whiskers mark on my cheeks. Everyone fled upon seeing me, shouting, “There's a demon!! Run!!”
I wanted to hide myself and headed towards the alley. Wrong choice I made. A group of boys, older than me I supposed as they were much bigger size, surrounded me and forced me to the wall.
“Go to hell!!” One of them yelled at me, “Go to hell you demon!!”
I curled up and got kicked several times. I felt that I was at no position to fight back. Afterall, I'm a demon. A monster to be seen by the human.
“You sickening fox!!” He attempted to punch me but I blocked the attack. Unlucky enough, the punch had hit my injured arm. I winced in pain but forced myself not to scream out loud.
“You don't deserve to live!!” Another one, a much bigger size teen pulled my shirt and plunk me to the wall, “Go to hell then!”
I felt blood coming out of my mouth. Am I dying? But this is better, isn't it? No one wants me anyway.
That teen then closed the distance between us and lowered himself on top of me, “Let's take a look at your seal on your abdomen, shall we?” as he lifted my shirt.
I tried to push the heavy boy away from me but in vain. I cried and pleaded but he ignored all.
“Urusai!” he shouted and was about to swing his arm. I closed my eyes to wait for the impact but it never came. I heard him cried, “Who the hell are you, bastard!!”
I slowly opened my eyes and by then, stood a black haired teen. I dared not look at him and started to clean my wound when he squatted in front of me. The smell of him is so similar that I've countered in the forest. But he got a really scary eyes. Color of blood. I backed up when his hand drew closer to me.
He closed his eyes and opened them again. This time, it was different. His eyes were dark night color. He then carefully stretched out his hand. I thought it might be a punch or a slap to contact my face. But the impact turned out to be gentle touch. I snapped open my eyes in surprise.
Didn't he hate the demons like me? Why is he so gentle towards.. towards me? I leaned towards his touch and purred.
He wiped the blood away from my mouth and aided my wounded arm. He wiped the tears from my face and asked, “What your name?”
This is the first time when a human being asked for my name. I was alittle excited and mumbled, “Na.. Naruto.. Uzumaki.. Naruto..”
“That's a nice name.” Came from him.
No one ever said that to me before. I felt my face getting redder. I had gathered a lot of courage to ask him who he is.
He answered, “Your master.” As he pulled me for an embrace. He smelled so nice and pleasant. So safe and secured.
But what is the meaning of master? Never heard that before.. I confirmed, “My master?”
The black haired teen pulled himself away and lifted my chin to look into his eyes. “Yes. Your master.” He said again.
I had no idea what this means but I knew that he was definitely not a bad guy. I felt so secured with him around that I could just let myself surrender to the tiredness.. finally.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Sasuke searched around for his brother. `Where the hell did he go? I have to tell him about Naruto somehow..'
Apparently, the raven haired boy had let Naruto slept in his room for a while. Still unconscious, he had no choice but to clean up his wound first before bathing later. `Naruto eh?' he smirked to himself, `I'm going to keep him then..'
He heard his brother's voice from a certain room. He was about to go in and greet him when he overheard the conversation between him and another man.
“Have you found that kitsune yet?” the man asked.
“Not yet.” His brother's voice replied.
“Then better hurry up. The auction is just a month away.”
“Do you think it's that easy to catch that fox? I admit it is gorgeous but what happen if we can't get that demon?”
Sasuke, who was standing behind the door, flinched at the word `demon'.
“We will have to catch another then.”
“Alright.”
The black haired teen quickly walked away as soon as he heard footsteps, planning to leave the room. `I can't let Naruto be near to Nii-san then.' He frowned.
“Young Master.” A familiar voice, which belonged to the pink haired girl, called for the younger Uchiha, “Young Master Neji is on the phone.”
“Alright.” Sasuke picked the phone.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
-Phone Conversation-
Sasuke: Yea?
Neji: Yo! Any new animals for me to check it out?
Sasuke: No.
Neji: Come on! We're friends, aren't we?
Sasuke: Alright.
Neji: Great! I knew you won't turn me down! When?
Sasuke: Tomorrow morning then.
Neji: Cool. See ya tomorrow!
Sasuke: Hn.
-End of Phone Conversation-
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Sasuke hung up the phone before walking back to his room. `What will Neji say if he see this?' he wondered as he opened the door. The blond was already awake, sitting on the bed.
“You're awake?” Sasuke felt like slapping himself for asking such a stupid question. `Oh god! Of course he's awake!'
“Is your arm alright?” Sasuke changed the topic. He closed the door carefully and walked towards him. He then lifted the blond's arm and took off the bandages that he had wrapped earlier when they got home. To his surprise, the wound was healed. No scar. No wound.
`This is the power of a demon?'
Naruto suddenly transformed himself to the little kitsune with nine long tails, which snapped the Uchiha out of his thoughts.
“What are you doing?” Sasuke questioned as the fox licked his fur.
The kitsune tilted his head, “Cleaning myself?”
The black haired teen walked up to the fox. “You can't be in this form if you want to stay here. Others will see you.” `Hell yeah! Not sure what Nii-san will do if he see you like this!!'
The kitsune widened his eyes with surprise, “You're letting me staying here?” as he transformed back to a human.
Sasuke felt his face turning pink. `Anything wrong with that??' And turned his head away. “Yea. Any problem with that?” he said.
“Iie!” the blond leaped forward to hug the teen.
“Alright..” Sasuke tried to push him away. His face was already red, “You're going to bathe boy.. You're dirty..”
“Bathe?” Naruto raised one of his eyebrows, “What's that?”
`He don't know what is bathing?' Sasuke's eyes twitched alittle, “Well.. Something like cleaning.”
“Oh!! Then..”
“Don't transform back to kitsune form.” The Uchiha interrupted.
“Then how am I going to clean myself then??” The blond asked.
Sasuke sighed and pointed at the bathroom.
“I'll teach you..”
