My Everything

Author's Note: This is a female Naruto x Sasuke story. I got a request or two for a Naruko x Sasuke set in regular ninja times, so we'll see how that goes. In this story, Naruko is born female. If that bothers you for any reason, you might want to turn back now. For everyone else, I hope you enjoy this story and reviews are always appreciated.

Chapter 1

He was her everything. The first person she had recognized who shared her loneliness. Her rival. Her best friend. Her enemy and now her friend again. Somehow, she had finally gotten through to Sasuke Uchiha. He came back to the Leaf Village after the War, only to leave almost immediately afterwards on a Journey of Redemption. She remembered that day well.

"Now stay out of trouble Sasuke. Naruko and I put in a good word for you, but it wasn't easy." Kakashi said in an infuriating calming voice.

"What does he mean by stay out of trouble?! Bastard, why are you wearing a traveling cloak? Where are you going?!" Naruko demanded.

"I'm going away for awhile. The village needs time to recover and seeing me there, isn't going to help. I have to prove that I'm different now. I can't do that here, Naruko. Only Team Seven would ever give me that chance. It's better this way." Sasuke told her.

Naruko snapped. She tried to lunge at him, but she was held back. Sakura had stopped her.

"Sakura, let go of me! We spent years trying to get him back and now that he's back, he wants to leave again!" Naruko growled in a voice that sounded far more like an animal's, than a human's.

"Take us with you." Sakura pleaded as she desperately tried to hold the furious blonde back.

"You two have nothing to do with my sins. I'll be back. I promise. It's just better if everyone has a chance to grieve and rebuild, before I try to force them to accept me." Sasuke said.

Kakashi sighed. He hated to see the look of absolute hurt on Naruko's face. She looked torn between crying and tying to kill the last Uchiha. This was going to get ugly.

"He's right. Besides Naruko, Sakura…do you really want to voice him to stay, if he won't be happy here? He'll just sneak off again anyway." He said and tried to lighten the mood.

"You promise, you'll come back?" Naruko asked Sasuke and he nodded.

"Alright. I don't like it. You should stay here. You can redeem yourself here! But I want you to be happy and if you can't do that here right now…" She trailed off.

Sasuke nodded. He headed off without another word. Sasuke had never been one to drag out goodbyes.

That had been a few years ago. The village was thriving again. It would be so easy to forget that a war had ever happened. But whenever she glanced down at her arm, she was reminded that it had. She had taken the transplant. It hadn't been easy, but she talked Sasuke into it as well.

She wondered how his new arm was working. Naruko wondered how he was doing in general. The blonde truly had no idea where he was or anything. Maybe he was afraid if he did, she would have convinced him to come back sooner.

"Why did everything have to become so complicated?" She asks as she looks at an old photo of Team Seven.

It was from when they were Genin. Back then she hadn't known much about Sasuke back then. She knew he was wicked smart, strong, and a bastard. He had always been a stuck up bastard.

That was a Hell of a lot easier to understand, than why he was that way. Everything had been taken from him as a small child. She never had a family, except for the brief time when her father had been revived and she was trapped in that other world. Sasuke had. It was more painful for Sasuke to be alone, because he remembered what it was like not be alone.

"Didn't he notice something was going on?" She asks to herself, wondering why neither the Third Hokage or her father had done anything about the Uchiha situation before it got so bad, for the 1000th time.

She sighs. There was really no use dwelling on the past. It couldn't be changed. The blonde decides to focus on her paperwork. She hated paperwork, but it did serve as a great distraction sometimes.

Meanwhile Sasuke continues his long walk home. It had been years since he had set foot in the Leaf Village. During his travels, he had visited all Five Great Nations and even a few of the island nations. He'd traveled far and wide. Sasuke had met many different kinds of people, briefly lived in places with cultures radically different than the ones he had grown up with, ate all kinds of exotic food, and dabbled in what seemed to be dozens of trades.

"It's enough." He says to himself

He'd helped Naruko to defeat Madara. He'd also saved at least hundreds of lives along his travels. Some he saved from assassins, would be robbers, or medical emergencies. In some small way, he felt like he had taken the first steps towards if not erasing his sins, at least making up for them.

Sasuke had finally decided to go home over the silliest reason. He'd seen a fox family. Just regular foxes, not summons. Not even an unusual breed, just red foxes that could be found almost anywhere in the Fire Nation (and in many others.) Instantly he had been reminded of the Nine Tails, which reminded him of HER. He decided to go home.

"Home." He whispers when he saw the entrance to the Leaf Village come into view.

He could see the shocked expressions of the guards. Clearly, they had recognized him. One of them was coming to greet Sasuke.

"Sasuke? You're back for good?" He asks warily.

The last Uchiha knew the other man was utterly terrified of him. It was to his credit that he had the courage to walk up to him though. Most people would have just run.

"I'm back for good. Don't tell Naruko though. I want to surprise her. Do you know where she is?" He asks and the guards nod.

"She's in her office now." They answer, not at all eager to deny Sasuke the answer he was seeking.

Naruko would want to see him immediately. Sasuke would probably kill them if they didn't answer them. So that was why they didn't hesitate to tell him, where she was.

"Thanks." He says and flits off.

"Did Sasuke fucking Uchiha just say thank you?" One of the guards asks the other.

"Yeah. I think so. Hell froze over, I guess. I expect we'll see a pig fly before the day is out." The other replies.

Sasuke smirks and heads to the Hokage office. He peeks in through the window. He smiles when he sees Naruko at her desk. Wow, she was actually doing paperwork? He didn't think she'd ever be able to sit still long enough to work on some of the less glamorous aspects of her Kageship.

He hated to admit it, but she was now a fox in more ways than one. Long golden hair that he was sure reached to her backside out of those pigtails. Her eyes were still the same sapphire blue he remembered. Sunkissed skin and those adorable whisker like markings. She was wearing her Hokage robes, but even they couldn't hide the fact that she was definitely a woman now in every conceivable way.

"Annoying." He mutters.

She just had to go and get even more beautiful while he was away. He had barely noticed it before really. They had usually been engaged in a life or death battle, so there wasn't really much time for aesthetical observations. But now that the world was at peace…it was another matter.

He had to fix this somehow. Sasuke had to restore their previous relationship dynamics. He smirks as he decides exactly how to do that.

The last Uchiha sneaks through the window and soon pins the blonde against the wall. Yeah, showing up unannounced after years of being gone, that ought to piss her off. Then they would fight and laugh. Everything would be back to normal. Naruko was Naruko. She never changed.

"What the Hell?" Naruko asks and quickly slams her knee into her "attacker's" stomach, sending him flying and when he lands on his back, she pins him.

"Owe. Is that any way to greet an old friend? It's really your own fault for letting your guard down to do paperwork. A ninja must always expect the unexpected." He taunts her with a smug smirk.

Naruko's eyes widen when she realizes who was underneath her. It was Sasuke! He was back. It had to be him, no one else smirked like that. Sure, a Transformation Jutsu could help someone look like him. But no one could ever match that arrogant smirk of his.

"Most people aren't dumb enough to pin the woman who fought against Madara against a wall, so yeah…I guess I was assuming everyone had more working brain cells than you. Clearly, I whacked you in the head too many times. Sorry about that, bastard." She says cheerfully.

Sasuke smiles. There was the loser he knew and loved. Everything was back to normal, already.

"You wish. Oh and Naruko? Lose the pigtails. They are cute when you're twelve, but you're a grown woman now. For fucksake, Hokages don't wear pigtails." He tells her.

"Oh this from the guy who wore that UGLY purple belt for years?" She asks.

"Sorry. The Sound didn't exactly have a lot fashion options. I was a little busy focusing on more important things. But seriously, lose the pigtails." Sasuke says.

Naruko shakes her head. She undoes the pigtails and Sasuke smiles. Her hair looked like a golden waterfall now. That was better.

Naruko suddenly realizes she was straddling Sasuke's waist and that was incredibly suggestive. She blushes a bit. Damn bastard had to go and get even hotter somehow.

Sasuke was Sasuke. She had always wanted him back. But it wasn't like she was Sakura. She wasn't in love with him or lusting after him. Naruko just missed him because he was one of the few people that understood her.

"So you going to get off of me or do you want to risk answering some interesting questions whenever your assistant walks in?" He asks.

"Yeah. Good point. Sorry." She says and hops off of him.

"It's alright. I did sneak up on you. Couldn't resist messing with you. So how has everything been?" He asks.

"YOU ARE SUCH A BASTARD!" She smacks him.

Sasuke blinks. Alright, that wasn't the response, he had expected. He had just asked her how everything had been.

"You leave for years and the first things you say to me are about my hair and to ask me how everything has been?! They would have been a lot better if you were here!" She yells at him.

"Naruko, quit yelling. I'll never understand why you want me around so much, if I'm such a bastard." He says and flicks her forehead.

"Owe! Jerk! I want you around because you are my friend! That's why. It doesn't matter that you are a jerk. You're still my friend." She mutters.

Sasuke shakes his head. That made absolutely no sense. Then again, he had stopped expecting her to make sense, a long time ago. Naruko just operated on a very different wavelength than most people.

Anyone else would have given up on him. They would have tried to kill him before he killed them. But not her. She was loyal to the point of absolute stupidity. He both loved and hated her for it.

"You're really strange sometimes. So I see you finally became Hokage. Not sure how. You spent more time chasing me around than training." He says with a smirk.

"Hey! I trained a lot while doing that. Oh and the whole saving the world thing, kinda helps!" She protests and then smiles.

He chuckles and caresses her cheek. Sasuke couldn't help it. She was just so cute at the moment. Naruko looks shocked at the gesture and he quickly retracts his hand.

"I'm glad it's you. I was an idiot when I said I wanted to be Hokage. It's just not me. Besides, I can't imagine sitting behind a desk all day and battling paperwork." He says.

"That's NOT all I do!" The blonde objects.

"No. But it's a large part of it. I wonder if you knew that as a child, if you would have been so eager to get this office." Sasuke muses.

Naruko huffs. Of course she would have wanted to become Hokage anyway. That was such a stupid thing to say!

"Anyway, you were gone for years. The least you can do is get me some ramen!" She says.

"It's a good thing, that my Clan's assets were restored to me. Otherwise, I'd never be able to afford to buy you all the ramen you want. Where do you put it all?" He asks.

"Oh I kinda think that Kurama speeds up my metabolism, actually." She replies thoughtfully.

"Didn't know you knew the word metabolism. Come on, lets get you your ramen." He says with a smirk and darts off towards the Ramen Shop, with an angry blonde racing off behind him.

"Jerk! I know stuff!" She says as she catches up to him.

A few minutes later and Sasuke blinks. She was on what had to be her tenth bowl of ramen. Maybe there was something to that whole Nine Tails speeding up her metabolism thing. He shakes his head in amusement. Some things never changed. It was comforting in a way.

"So what made you come back?" She asks.

"A whim." He answers.

"Stop doing that! Come on! I know you, you don't just randomly decide to do stuff. You are way too OCD to do that." She says.

Sasuke raise an eyebrow. Alright, who gave Naruko a medical textbook? Metabolism and OCD? He blamed Sakura. Had to be her fault. She was a medic now, wasn't she?

"I'll tell you later. Right now, I think I'll get a bowl of ramen." He says.

"But you hate ramen?" She asks in confusion.

"I don't hate it. I just can't eat ten bowls of the stuff." Sasuke replies.

He eats a bowl and pays for their stuff. Sasuke blinks when Naruko drags him back to Team Seven's Training grounds. He looks at her quizzically.

"It's been forever since we last fought. Let's see if you are used to your new arm." She says with a smirk.

"I guess you missed losing. Alright." He says and gets into position.

She smiles. There was nothing like fighting with him. They were so evenly matched. But she knew she'd never match him when it came to the grace department. Poetry in motion.

He'd always reminded her of a big cat. Deadly, graceful, and beautiful. You wanted to touch it, but you knew you'd get killed if you did.

"You're distracted." He says and pins her to the ground.

"Maybe a little. I'm just really happy you are back." Naruko says and smiles when she sees Sasuke's gaze soften.

"Brat, just bite him. While I'm not happy you chose an Uchiha, I can understand why." Kurama tells her.

"What do you mean by bite him?" She asks in confusion.

"Your teeth are lengthening. You won't hurt him when you do it. Bite him and make the Claim." He explains.

Naruko didn't get it. Bite him? Claim? What was Kyubbi talking about? But suddenly, Sasuke's neck was looking rather…inviting.

She remembered how Orochimaru had bitten him. He'd placed that damn curse mark on him. Certainly, Orochimaru had made a claim. But she doubted that was what Kyubbi was talking about in this circumstance.

That irritated her. She hated that the creep had marked him in that way. She could feel her teeth growing sharper and suddenly, what Kyubbi was saying made a whole lot more sense.

"OWE!" Sasuke says and he jumps off her a few seconds later, when Naruko had bitten him on the neck.

He blinks when he pulls his hand away from it. He was bleeding. It wasn't a life threatening injury. But she had actually drawn some blood.

"I thought you said, that I wouldn't hurt him!" She yells at Kyubbi.

"He's an exceptional ninja who has survived having his arm blown off. I think he can handle a bite. You probably surprised him more than anything." The fox says defensively.

"Why did you bite me?" Sasuke demands.

"A ninja should expect the unexpected. It got you off me, didn't it?" She taunts him with his earlier words.

Sasuke shakes his head. Well she was the number one unpredictable ninja for a reason, he guessed. He shakes his head and goes back to fighting her.

It felt good to be able to fight someone on his level. Someone that he didn't have to hold back with. There were very few people left in the world that he could honestly say that about.

"CHIDORI!" He roars out and throws the lightning attack at his sparring partner.

"RASENGAN!" She yells, countering his move with one of her own.

They trained together for hours. While their training would have been lethal to even most Jonin, to them it was nothing more than a play fight. Eventually, they both collapse next to each other, panting.

"Look, a shooting star." Sasuke murmurs as he looks up at the beautiful nighttime sky.

"Yeah. Better make a wish." Naruko says quickly.

"That is so childish. That doesn't actually work." He says and rolls his eyes at the very notion.

"It is not and it does to!" She says and looks up at the shooting star, making her wish.

"I wish that he'd stay for good this time," She thinks as she looks up. Maybe this time would be different. The Itachi situation hadn't ended the way he had planned, but clearly he wasn't after revenge anymore. He'd gone on his Journey of Redemption. There wasn't a reason for him to leave again.

"What'd you wish for?" He asks.

"I can't tell you that. Then it won't come true." The blonde responds.

"Whatever." He says and closes his eyes.

He had only meant to rest them for a moment. But Sasuke had traveled a long time before arriving in the Leaf and sparring with Naruko. He was more tired than he thought. So he soon drifted off.

Naruko blinks. She knew by the evening out of his breathing, that he had actually fallen asleep. Sasuke had trusted her enough to fall asleep around her. That knowledge was shocking and heartwarming.

"He looks so different like this." She says and couldn't resist playing with his bangs.

They were like silk. She had expected them to be harsh and coarse. His hair looked so spiky, but even his hair texture had to be perfect. Damn it.

"You could bite him while he is sleeping." Kurama suggests, eager to at last have some peace.

Oh it wasn't that he liked the Uchiha. Far from it really. That boy, well man had caused his host an unbearable amount of grief. But he was her Mate. Humans rarely found their real Mate. It was truly a beautiful thing, when two Mate found each other. Even he wouldn't stand in the way of that. (He just really wished it hadn't been an Uchiha!)

"What happens if I bite him?" She asks.

"You become Mates." Kyubbi replies as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"What does that even mean?" The blonde inquires again.

"Do I honestly have to explain to you where babies come from? Humans would call it marriage, but Mating goes much deeper than that. Mating is a soul bond." The Nine Tails attempts to explain.

"Babies?!" She sputters.

Kyubbi mentally rolls his eyes. He had never seen two beings who needed each other so much, yet were so oblivious. When they were younger, he blamed it on their naivety. Now they were adults, it shouldn't be that difficult for them to figure out. But apparently he was going to have to spell this out.

"You want him. He wants you. You want him to stay. He wants children to continue his Clan. The solution seems obvious." He mutters in annoyance.

"I don't want him like that!" Naruko protests.

Really? She expected him to believe that? She had spent years chasing that Uchiha all over the place. And she was claiming she didn't want him. He left when she was twelve. She hadn't been a woman.

So he completely understood why at first, she didn't understand the drive to bring him back. But now Naruko didn't have that excuse. It was taxing to have to point out the obvious again and again, but he knew the alternative was having a miserable host. (Which meant he would also be miserable.)

"Deny it all you like. We both know the truth." He says and shuts off the link, not wanting to her sputter and protest the obvious further.

"Damn furball." She grumble and eeps when a sleeping Sasuke grabs her and pulls her down next to him.

Naruko found out something very shocking that night. Sasuke Uchiha was apparently a cuddler. Well at least he was subconsciously. She tries to wiggle out of his hold, but it was no use.

The only way she could get out, is if she hit him hard enough to wake him. That seemed cruel. He looked so peaceful. Besides, she was so tired and he was so nice and warm. She yawns and soon drifts off to sleep in his arms.

"Mmm." Sasuke wakes up a few hours later.

He was confused at first. His pillow was very comfortable, but also very warm and squishy. The last Uchiha could also hear a steady THUMP THUMP.

That was when he realized what had happened. He had fallen asleep at the training grounds and somehow, he had ended up using Naruko's chest as his pillow.

"Thank God, she's always been a heavy sleeper." He mutters and sighs in relief, if she ever found out that he thought her breasts made excellent pillows…all Hell would break loose.
