"Aniki! Aniki! Where are you?" A ten year old Sasuke yelled as he ran onto the Uchiha territory.
"I'm over here, Sasuke." his older brother, Itachi, called back.
Sasuke ran around the corner then stopped dead in his tracks, his nose twitched and he sniffed the air. Fox scents! the feral kitten thought and darted towards his older brothers back. "Itachi! There's a fo- What the?" the kitten's ears twitched on the top of his spiked hair as he saw a mop of blonde hair. Two, large, orange fox ears rested on the top of the mop, it's tail swished in pleasure as Itachi groomed him. "Oh, Sasuke. There you are, this is Naruto Uzumaki. I found him in a humans trap and brought him here to wrap his ankle." The older feral cat said with a wry smile.
Naruto looked up at Sasuke and smiled, showing his pearly white fangs showing. The kitten gazed into the azure eye's then moved his gaze over the foxes tan face, his cheeks had three whisker marks on each cheek, a Uzumaki trade mark. "Your brother is a-maz-ing with his grooming technique!" the fox boy hollered. Sasuke rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. "Whatever, idiot fox." he breathed. Itachi looked up at his brother and scowled.
"Hey! Don't call me that, feral bastard!" Naruto retorted then made the same arm crossing gesture. The two glared at each, blue bore into coal and coal bore into blue. Itachi kept grooming behind the blonde's ear's then moved down to his blonde hair.
"Honestly, Sasuke? Are you going to let father's rivalry with the foxes go to your head?" he said, still grooming.
"Hn!" Sasuke murmured stubbornly. His older brother never liked the territory situation and he probably never will. The Uchiha's and Uzumaki's were always fighting over territory. Fugaku Uchiha was the alpha male of the clan and he kept a strong hand in territory business, Sasuke and Itachi's father was no pushover. Kyuubi Uzumaki and his brother Deidara, along with the youngest, Naruto, were the leader's of their clan but Kyuubi was the alpha male. But the strange thing about the Uzumaki's is that they don't have any females in their clan, only males. Certain males in the clan could get pregnant and give birth like a female and the Uchiha's hated their methods. So they fought over absolutely everything!
"Alright little Naruto, your ankle is bandaged and you are fully groomed." Itachi said in a silky voice.
The fox lept up and stretched, then tested his ankle. "Thank you, Itachi-kun! Can I come over and play tomorrow?" he asked eagerly.
Sasuke's tail twitched in annoyance at the loud tone, his ears twitched as well. "Sure, you can play with Sasuke." The kittens head shot up and he hurriedly scowled at the blonde fox. "I won't do it!" he said and stomped his foot.
Itachi scuffed his little brother's ears then grabbed the left one. "You behave yourself little kitten or I'll tell mom how her vase was broken."
"But... Fine! If I get his fox stink then your explaining to father!" Naruto's fox ears perked and he giggled as Sasuke fummed and yowled in anger.
The bushes nearby rustled and two fox teenagers walked into the territory. One had fiery long red hair with fiery red fox ears to match, his red tail twitching in annoyance. The other had long hair as well except some was pulled into a ponytail, his hair was blonde, like Naruto's, and he had matching pale orange fox ears. His tail wrapped around his long, muscular leg. "Naruto! Why do you smell like a feral cat?" the red head called.
"Kyuubi! That's not nice! Itachi-kun saved me from a human trap and groomed me!" Naruto smiled wide when his older brother's rolled their yellow and blue eyes.
"Come on, brat! We need to get you back to the den, yeah?" the other fox said. Naruto waved a hand to Sasuke and Itachi then ran to his brother's. "Dei, can we go pick berries then?" Deidara nodded then led his little brother back into the forest.
Kyuubi waited until he couldn't hear footsteps then looked over the Uchiha brother's. He took a few strides then stopped in front of Itachi, his yellow eyes bore into the dark ones. "Thank you for helping my little brother." he said in a emotionless manner. The feral cat nodded and swished his long tail from side to side. "He was in pain and I could care less if he was a fox or a cat. I invited him over to play with my little brother, Sasuke." Itachi pulled Sasuke in front of him and placed his pale clawed fingers on his shoulders.
The red fox bent down to Sasuke's height and tilited his head to the side, he then smiled wickedly. "Naruto will be at the river that seperates the territories, swimming. Sasuke can play with him there so your da' won't have a shit fit." Kyuubi said then backed away into the darkening forest. His yellow eyes were all that they could see until, they, to disappeared.
Itachi patted his little brothers shoulder then made his way inside their home. Sasuke soon followed, he was kinda looking forward to the playdate. Even though Naruto was loud and obnoxious, he probably could play for hours. Unlike some of the other kittens in Sasuke's clan. They bored him but Naruto was a fox, energy ran threw their veins naturally.
"I look forward to playing with you, Naruto." Sasuke purred as he got to his room and curled up into a ball on his bed.
The next morning: 9:30 A.M
"Swimming is fun, Dei! We can finally go swimming?" Naruto exclaimed while bouncing up and down. Deidara had his little brother's hand in his and smiled down at him. The Uzumaki's always bathed in the river but more closer to the waterfall so they wouldn't be out in the open. "Yes, Yes! Your swimming with your little friend, Sasuke, yeah? For the millionth time." The blue eyed fox said and pushed open the bushes for Naruto to pass threw.
The fox kit ran out, letting the little pebbles squish under his toes. The cool breeze ran threw his blonde lock, he giggled and breathed in the salt watery air. "Is Kyuubi coming?" he asked his older brother. Deidara shook his head, making his ears sway side to side, "Nope, he has to go hunting with Sasori and Gaara, yeah?" Naruto giggled again when Dei's mate's name was mentioned. Sasori had come into the clan about a year ago, along with his cousin, Gaara. The red headed fox seduced Deidara and they became mates.
"Ooh! Are you mad that Kyuubi stuck you with me?"
"Nah, your my little bro! Plus I have to make sure those feral's play nice, yeah?" Deidara rustled his little brother's hair and pinced his fox ears.
Naruto giggled and pushed him away, playfully then he ran towards the water. Deidara chased after him, removing his shirt and pants, Naruto did the same and jumped into the cold water. The blonde foxes splashed each other, laughing and giggling when the Uchiha's finally arrived. Itachi smiled when he saw the brother's wrestling in the water. Deidara was attractive to him but he stunk of another male, his mate. Plus, it was Kyuubi that interested the older feral cat. "Heeeyyy! Itachi-kun! Sasuke!" Naruto called and waved his clawed hand.
Sasuke had his ears flattened against his head as he sat down under an oak tree, near the river. He wasn't much of a swimmer but his brother was and he could have a field day for all Sasuke cared. The kitten brought out his book out and started to read it, a familiar fox stench invaded his nostrials. "Come swim with us, Sasuke! It's refreshing!" Naruto said and smiled wickedly, like Kyuubi did.
"No thanks. I'm not much of a swimmer." Sasuke growled then gave the fox his famous death glare.
Naruto giggled and grabbed the kitten's wrist, he tugged it sharply and made Sasuke get on his feet. This fox has strength! I can't get my wrist free! the feral thought rigidly. He was dragged the edge of the river then Naruto stopped, turned and smiled at him. "Come on! Into the water!" he called with another smile. Sasuke looked at his brother, asking with his eyes for help but Itachi just shook his head and motioned for him to get in.
The kitten groaned and started to remove his shirt then moved down the his pant's. He dipped his foot in and shivered, it was freezing! There was no way he would get, Sasuke frowned then took a step back. The blonde fox behind him smiled wickedly then pushed Sasuke into the water. A splash satisfied the fox kit and he jumped in afterwards.
Sasuke surfaced and took in a deep breath, he then yowled, searching for Naruto. The fox hid behind his older brother and stuck his tongue out at him, "Nah Nah, Sasuke! Come and get me kitty kitty!" Sasuke swam towards him with revenge in his dark eyes. Naruto squealed then swam away from the feral kitten but it was useless when Sasuke caught his foot and dunked his head under the water. Deidara curled his lips in amusement, his little brother was getting along with a feral cat and the feral liked his brother. "Cute eh, Itachi-san, yeah?" Dei asked the Uchiha. Itachi just smirked and watched as well.
Hoof beats could be heard a few feet away, it alerted all the boy's. A buck ran out of the bushes, it's antler's rose high in the air. It's nose flared as it searched for an escape route. Deidara grabbed Naruto to protect him and Itachi did the same for his brother. The buck looked towards them and took a few steps back, then it charged full on, it's antler's poiting forward. The feral cat's moved fast and ran out of the water so did the foxes. But Sasuke wasn't fast enough and was cornered by the frightened creature.
The buck had backed Sasuke against the tree and was ready to charge the kitten. A streak of blonde hit the creature and it fell onto the ground with a thud. Naruto attacked the full grown male deer and bit into it's neck, it went limp and stopped struggling. The fox stood up and held his hand out towards Sasuke, smiling wildly. "You ok, feral bastard?" A curt nod was all he got then the feral kitten grabbed the tan hand and was lifted up.
Kyuubi jumped out of the bushes on all fours, Sasori and Gaara soon followed him. They gawked in suprise when they saw little Naruto on top of the big buck. "Naruto? Did you kill that thing?" Sasori asked his mate's little brother. Naruto looked towards the voice and smiled widely. "Yup! I saved Sasuke from the big glutton!" the fox kit giggled and crawled down from his kill. The foxes made their way to the buck and examined it. "Jesus baby, you have a strong brother." Sasori said and kissed his beloved on the lips.
"Hey, hey hey! Not in front of the kids!" Kyuubi covered Naruto's eyes and scowled at his brother. Deidara shrugged then twisted his tail with Sasori's.
"Alright, kit. Time to go to the den and have dinner." the red fox said to his younger brother. Naruto nodded and turned his smile towards Sasuke, "Bye Sasuke! Bye Itachi-kun!" with that he was off with Deidara. Kyuubi, Sasori, and Gaara lifted up the buck and grunted at how heavy it was. "Thanks, Itachi. Naruto had a great time by the look's of it." the yellow eyed fox said with a smile. Itachi nodded then wrapped his arm around Sasuke's shoulder's. The foxes all nodded and walked into the forest with the buck on their shoulder's.
"Have fun Sasuke? Swimming is something new for you." the feral asked his little brother.
Sasuke smiled for the first time that day, "I had fun, aniki! I think me and Naruto can be best friends!"
Yay! Kitties! I love it when Sasuke's a little kid because he's so much more innocent! It's cute. I hope you guys like it! Review please, please! -Snow
