A/N: Hello, this is my first fanfic, or any attempt of writing my own piece, but I hope it will be okay. I thank you in advance if you choose to support me in the future as I plan to make this a long story.

Note: This has been edited due to the help of a very special friend.

Warnings: Master/Slave relationship, OOCness, and a little blood.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything.

Sunlight filled the streets of Konoha as it was early in the morning. Naruto walked through these streets until he reached his destination; the pet shop. He was greeted by his acquaintance and shopkeeper— Orochimaru. His creepy smile fit with his snakelike features; he had yellow eyes with pupils shaped like slits, dark long hair that reached down to his waist, and skin that seemed unhealthily yellow.

"Ah you've finally come to get a pet of your own?"

"Shut it Orochimaru, I already told you I would buy one from you."

"Yes yes..and I am most grateful. Shall I show you them?"

The blonde narrowed his eyes, "Why else would I be here. Hurry up and show me them," he snapped, not being in the best of moods.

"Yes of course, of course." He mused guiding Naruto into a hallway that lead into a room. In the room it contained small, young hybrids both male and female.

The room was quite big, it contained twenty cages inside the area. Each cage was occupied by a young slave. The cage itself only had enough room for them to barely crouch or stand which they were all doing now. They all stood there, metal collars around their small necks which had a short connecting chain to their wrist shackles. This gave the effect of them begging with their 'paws' in front of them, and of course, they were all naked. Their eyes were focused on the floor, they knew if they made eye contact without permission, they would be severely punished.

Before Orochimaru could even say anything about the younger slaves, Naruto looked disinterested and walked out of the room. "Hell..I'm not some pedophile, I don't want some brat who can't do anything properly. I want someone older, someone who can actually..do something."

Orochimaru followed the blonde, walking quicker to get ahead of him to show him another room.

"These slaves are at least twelve and up. I'm sure one of these will stand out to you?"

Naruto came in after Orochimaru and immediately one particular slave caught his attention. He saw the raven hair the stuck out from the hybrid's head. He then looked lower and saw the lean muscles that could seen despite the obvious hunger. He got a closer look on the hybrid; pale skin, raven coloured cat appendages, untrimmed bangs, and his blood red eyes.

The young master reached his hand into the cage to touch the kit. The boy tensed from the oncoming hand, but stayed as motionless as possible.

"Ah that one." Orochimaru interrupted before the hand touched the boy, "He's one of the rarest breeds I have— an Uchiha. Unfortunately, not many survived during the Uchiha genocide..they were deemed dangerous and were hunted down to just a remaining few. Such a shame too, for they are absolutely beautiful."

"How old is he? He seems much older than all the others."

"Ah yes, he is quite overdue actually. I usually sell off all my slaves that reach past eighteen to brothels, or just euthanize them if they're not worth it… but since this one's such a beauty, I couldn't help but keep him with me. I was told that he is almost twenty one years old. I must warn you though, he has quite the temper on him. Although he knows his place here, he still acts in defiance, but I'm sure that'll be more entertainment for you am I wrong?" When the kit heard about his age, his ears twitched. He was rarely told information about himself. Hell, he didn't even know the date he was born. He could only find out information about himself when it was told to others in front of him.

Naruto smirked, so he's around the same age as me. "May I touch him? I won't do much..yet, I just want to speak to him." Orochimaru nodded and Naruto returned his gaze onto the chained kit. He slipped his hand through the bars and grabbed the hybrid's chin. He could feel resistance on his hand as the boy continued to look down.

"Look at me." The red eyes refused to look up. Annoyed, Naruto harshly pulled his chin up more and the red eyes finally looked at him, but there was no emotion behind those orbs.

"What's your name."

Silence.

Luckily for the raven, the bars dividing the two males restricted Naruto's movement; otherwise, he would have slapped him by now.

"I asked for your name, do you not understand?" He hissed out.

Once again he was met by silence, but this time the kit bit his lip.

"Oh yes, I forgot to mention he is mute. I wouldn't say he was born like that, but he refuses to speak. Quite clever I would say as not many wants a mute slave. He hasn't spoken a word since he's been in my care for the couple of months. One thing that makes him more valuable though is that he is a virgin. I don't know how he managed that, but he's also in perfect condition meaning that there are no scars on his body. The only background I know of him that's not in his papers is that he has an elder brother but they were separated. His name is Sasuke."

"Sasuke." Naruto let it roll off his tongue.

Naruto's attention went back to the chained slave who was staring at the wall next to him. He released the kit's chin and he knew that he wanted this pet. He thought it could be fun.

"I'll buy him from you." The blonde stated as again, the slave was biting his lip.

Sasuke shifted slightly, he hated being talked to like merchandise, but there was nothing he could do about it. This both saddened and frustrated him.

"Of course." Orochimaru grinned, he was finally selling him.

"Would you like to take him how he is, or do you want me to prepare him."

"Yes I would like him prepared as you say it, but there is one thing additional thing I want." He smirked at his new slave, "I want his tongue pierced right in the middle."

It was Orochimaru's turn to smirk. "Of course, I will do it right away. It'll take about an hour and a half to prepare him, and then I will bring the paperwork needed to buy him to you." With this Naruto left to go busy himself for the time needed to prepare his new pet.

Orochimaru then opened the cage that held the newly bought slave and connected a chain leash to the collar. He yanked it suddenly causing the younger one to stumble and almost fell due to the lack of balance caused by his wrists short chained to his collar. He lead led him to a different room and undid the chains and collar. The raven was familiar with this room as it was where they were fed and washed. Orochimaru turned the water on to prepare the bath.

"Get in." The boy hesitated, he hated being in water. He didn't know why he hated it so much. Unknown to him, it was just the fact cats don't favor water.

Orochimaru sighed and pushed the younger one into the bathtub imbedded in the ground. He immediately shivered from the cold water. His ears were pressed down to his head as he shakily brought his hands up to take the items Orochimaru was giving him.

"You know what to do." He stated before walking off to prepare the piercing. Sasuke quickly cleaned himself wanting to get out of the water.

When he was done, he put the items he used to clean himself on the side and climbed out of the tub, his pale skin dripping with cold water caused him to shiver. He crossed his arms and wrapped his tail around his leg in an attempt to give him some warmth. Orochimaru saw him and beckoned him with the wave of his hand. Soft footsteps made its way to the elder man as he dropped his hands and casted his eyes down. As small as it sounds, he didn't want to give the man any reason to be angry. Orochimaru suddenly threw a towel at the younger male who only caught it through reflex.

"Dry yourself."

Sasuke quickly used the towel to dry himself until Orochimaru was satisfied. He grabbed the skinny wrist and roughly sat Sasuke into a chair. Panic started to wrestle its way in as his hands were restrained onto the chair arms.

"Let's quickly get this done. Now open your mouth."

Sasuke hesitated before barely opening his mouth. Orochimaru narrowed his eyes displeased at the slave's behavior. He grabbed his chin painfully.

"Wider."

Sasuke winced in pain before complying to the man's wishes and opened his mouth as wide as he could. The owner grabbed something on the table next to him causing Sasuke's ears to twitch in question, but when he saw what it was he grimaced.

"Don't want you biting me." Orochimaru placed a ring gag in the kit's mouth to hold it wide open and tied the strap a little tighter than needed.

"This will go very simply if you follow all of my commands. If you don't..who knows, it might be very painful on you. Not that I mind." He gave a slight smirk. Sasuke scoffed at the man's attitude which not surprisingly angered the man.

"Hey, I didn't give you permission to give me a bitchy attitude." Orochimaru lifted his hand up and upon seeing this, Sasuke flinched, only to find out he was being..petted?

"What, you thought I was going to hit you?" He chuckled, "No no, that's not my job anymore. Besides, you're precious merchandise. I can't sell damaged goods right?"

Sasuke was at the point of just ignoring the man, something he should have done earlier.

"I know about you and your precious aniki." Sasuke's ears perked up at this and looked up wide eyed at Orochimaru. "Ah yes, Itachi right? I know you're dying to seeing him, am I wrong?" Sasuke didn't show any signs of answering.

"Answer me."

Sasuke slowly nodded and then averted his eyes.

"Be good, and I will tell your new master about your aniki." Orochimaru bent down slightly to Sasuke's ear and whispered, "Cause I know he's the reason for your silence." Sasuke's hands clenched onto the chair's arms.

Orochimaru lightly touched the raven's cheek causing him to shiver, "I'll tell your master about Itachi, even I as a shopkeeper try to keep relatives together, but don't think of me any different understand?" Sasuke only nodded baffled.

"Well we definitely can't keep you here all day now can we, you have a new home waiting for you. I'm done chitchatting with you, let me see your tongue now."

Naruto was waiting in the front of the shop for his new pet. He finally saw Orochimaru emerge from the hall with papers in hand.

"Where is he?"

"Ah he's just in the back waiting, I just needed to discuss some things with you and for you to sign some papers." Naruto nodded as they sat down across each other with a table separating them. Although hybrids were treated like slaves, there were some formality in all of it. Papers were needed to present all information about the hybrid themselves and had to be signed by their new masters to show ownership.

Orochimaru gave the papers to the blonde for him to read over.

"Any questions?"

Naruto placed the papers down and stared at the man across from him before focusing his gaze somewhere else, "Yeah actually, I'm kinda curious about his brother you mentioned before."

"Ah yes, I do not know his exact whereabouts, but I do know that they are very close to each other. As you see, they are the only family they have. Generally shopkeepers tend to sell relatives together as they can get a higher price for them, which of course totally depends on looks and breed. But Sasuke would do anything to have him back."

The young master thought about it before grinning to himself.

"One more thing, what does he know..about himself."

"If you're talking about his age and such, he was never told directly. He doesn't know where or when he was born, but all that information is in the documents. He doesn't know how to read either so you won't have to worry about that. The one thing I will warn you, is that he can be a quick learner."

Naruto didn't say anything, but nodded in response.

"Shall we discuss the papers and payment now?"

Sasuke was waiting as patiently as he could in the same room. His tongue was still a little bloody and sore which left him in a slightly sour mood. His tail was twitching in annoyance from the soreness he felt. He was sitting on the floor knees up fitted with a new black leather collar that hugged his neck rather tightly, but it was more comfortable than the heavy metal collar he once wore. Once in awhile he tugged on the collar as if to try and relieve the tightness around it. The only thing he rather enjoyed was that he was given a large black cotton sweater. It was thick enough to keep him warm, His sleeves hung below his arm length, and the neck opening was wide that it would slide off his shoulder if it shifted to one side, but would hang right on the edge of both shoulders if centered. If he were to stand, his sweater would come down to the middle of his thighs. Despite the fact it was way too big for his body size, it gave him comfort. He was made to go naked most of his life and having something as simple as clothing on his back made him happy. He revelled in the softness of the clothing.

His thought were disrupted when Orochimaru opened the door to the room. The man was holding two objects that Sasuke was familiar with, a leather leash and leather handcuffs. The raven was told to stand, knowing what the man already wanted and stuck his wrists out after lifting his sleeves up. He fastened the cuffs to his wrists that had a half foot chain attaching the cuffs.

"Being obedient I see."

The raven lowered his head slightly, ears coming down with as if nodding. Orochimaru simply patted his head that caused Sasuke to look up in question. In response, the elder clicked the leash into the metal loop of the kitten's tight collar.

"Come, your new master is waiting for you." Sasuke obediently followed the elder out the door and into the front where Naruto stood, grinning.

"He's all yours." Orochimaru said as he handed the leash to the grinning blonde. Naruto had folded Sasuke's paperworks and pocketed them.

"Thanks Orochimaru."

"Pleasure doing business with you Naruto."

Sasuke once again didn't like how they were talking as if he was merchandise, but his musings were interrupted as he felt a harsh tug and stumbled forward.

Without a word from the blonde, he lead the raven out of the shop into the morning light. Sasuke squinted from the harsh rays. Being inside for a long period of time made him unused to sunlight. Sasuke immediately felt the wind hit his face, and felt the cool draft between his legs as his tailed swayed. It felt nice, the fresh air filling into his lungs compared to the stuffy atmosphere in his small cage stenched with the smells from the bodies of the other slaves. He gripped the bottom of his sweater with his cuffed hands in front of him when he heard the blonde talk.

"I didn't have anyone bring a carriage here so we're walking back." The blonde wanted to test Sasuke's endurance.

Sasuke looked up at the blonde's back before quickly lowering his gaze and nodded. He made sure to stay a couple steps behind and to the right of his new master, something he had learned in the past. Why? He wasn't exactly too sure. He followed wherever his master went with no real trouble. Once in awhile he felt a harsh tug on his leash causing him to stumble in his steps a bit.

After walking for a while, he started feeling fatigue within his body. Sweat glistened on his forehead, his legs felt tired, his tongue was sore, and his neck was starting to ache from the occasional tug he felt from his master. His breath was starting to get a little heavy. He did not eat anything that day as he was bought in the morning, before feeding time. His ears and tail were lowered but still, he tried to conserve all the energy he had and focused on walking. His eyes became heavier the more he walked. As more awareness came to him how tired he was, his legs started trembling more and more as continued to push himself.

He knew he would be breaking a lot of rules for this, but Sasuke lift his right hand along with his left one due to the connecting chain and lightly tugged on the bottom hem of his master's shirt. Naruto turned around, causing Sasuke to let go of his shirt to face his new slave with a frown on his face. Sasuke bit his lip, he tensed and looked up with pleading eyes.

Naruto continued to frown which lead Sasuke to think it was a bad idea and immediately looked down, continuing to nibble on his bottom lip. Naruto suddenly moved, or at least that's what it felt like to Sasuke. Soon, he saw his master take out a water bottle that made him realize how thirsty and dry his mouth was. He didn't dare to look up again, figuring the first time was a mistake. He also knew he should never ask for anything as slaves and mentally slapped himself for his earlier action.

"What, you want some?" He asked as he drank from the bottle.

Sasuke didn't how to respond, he feared he was testing him, but then he realized that he had to answer his master, and he couldn't say no since that would be lying. So he simply nodded and waited for his master's response.

"Kneel."

Sasuke complied, feeling relieved that he could actually rest his legs. When he kneeled, he started to take in the surroundings and saw how they were walking along a paved path big enough to have a carriage pass by. Along both sides of the path, there were woods surrounding. Sasuke had never really seen something like it as he rarely went outside, he'd only been in tied down in carriages with his old masters for transportation.

Naruto showed his kitten the bottle of water in his hand.

Is he really going to give me water? Sasuke thought that maybe his new master wasn't too bad as he thought, so he opened his mouth in expectance.

Sasuke didn't see his master smirk as he was met with water that was poured on his face. Sasuke immediately recoiled back and started to cough as water was accidentally inhaled through his nose. His ears flattened and he raised his hands in a delayed response to keep the hated water away from him.

Sasuke was disappointed in himself, he couldn't believe he thought his master was nice. he became frustrated. He bit his lip and clenched his hands on top of his thighs. His knees started to hurt from kneeling. and he was wet. It didn't help that his hair, ears, and the top of his sweater was wet. The water was seeping further down his sweater that he had become familiar with.

"You wanted water, didn't you?" And that was all it took for Sasuke to snap and swipe at his master's open calf with his nails before he had realized what he had done.

Sasuke's eyes widened in horror as he saw blood trickle from the small scratches down his master's leg. What have I done, what have I done?! Sasuke starting frantically thinking of something to first stop the blood he had caused, and then a way to beg for forgiveness. He then stretched out his sweater to reach the blood and wiped it down. After he had done that, he backed up a little and bowed as low as he could, tail between his legs to show his submission as a form of an apology, but he knew that he would not be forgiven easily as panic ran through his body.

When all this happened, Naruto was scrutinizing his slave and what happened. Although he was amused, he was angry at his slave's disobedience. He hadn't expected his pet to lash out. Naruto saw that his pet was now slightly trembling from his silence, so he sighed and spoke.

"I'll deal with you later, you'll learn more about me when I punish you." Sasuke didn't move from his position, but he did not want to 'learn more about him' later.

"Lift your head." Sasuke slowly lifted his head that was pressed on the ground and stared at his master's feet, not daring to look up. His hands were still on the ground and in a bowing position as he was not instructed to sit up.

"I think" the blonde mused, "You look good like that, all on your fours, you look like an actual kitten, a pet, a slave. But first, stand up."

Sasuke quietly and carefully picked himself up from the ground as if any sudden movements would anger the blonde. Right after he stood up on his weak legs, he was met with a harsh tug that made him stumble and this time he fell forward, landing on his hands and knees, making him gasp in pain. His skin was roughly rubbed on the pavement below him, causing his skin to scrape off, but not enough to draw blood.

"I changed my mind, as your first punishment, you will crawl back to my house. And lIke I said before, you look good on all fours."

Once again, Sasuke did not know how long he had been travelling. He was sure that knees were all bloody and leaving a trail behind him. His hands hurt as well, they were scraped up pretty bad and on the verge of bleeding. His whole body was trembling in pain, sweat rolling down his face, and his hair and clothes were still damp from the water. Despite all this, he continued to crawl, practically dragging himself.

He was panting harder now, he thought he probably looked more like an animal now. His throat was dry, and his breath was heavy. He was lucky that the woods surrounding them gave him some shade or else he'd had pass out by now.

After what seemed like an eternity to Sasuke and twenty minutes to Naruto, Naruto's mansion was in view. Naruto looked back to Sasuke, enough for the kit to not notice, but his ears had perked up.

Sasuke had made it, after what seemed forever to him, he finally saw something other than paved paths and trees. It was what he had hoped for, his master's home, but it was not just a house, it was a mansion. It was huge, and Sasuke, although he had been in mansions before, he never saw on as big as Naruto's.

Dividing them and the mansion was a large gate that opened upon arrival. Sasuke felt relief wash over the fatigue. He knew he would get in trouble once again, but once he was a decent distance inside the gates and closer to the mansion, he fell to his side, onto the grass and passed out.
