~Rare~

Naruto was starting to get worried, how long were people sick for? It'd been like two weeks! He'd been bugging Kurama when the redhead wasn't at work, which was a little less then when the two had lived in their own apartment, meaning he got to see his brother more!

He didn't want the redheaded fox to worry about him, so he had been avoided him around lunch time, when it was the worse. He couldn't help it today though Kurama had the day off and had sought him out.

Naruto had made them a simple lunch of sandwiches and chips, the blond had only nibbled at his food, he had already started feeling queasy, he could feel the other's eyes on him as he ate.

"Naru-chan, have you been feeling sick?" Kurama asked,

something seemed to be off with his brother's scent, it wouldn't have really have been noticeable if he hadn't have been taking every scent change from his little brother.

He wanted to make sure that Sasuke wasn't hurting him or anything of that nature, so when Naru-chan's scent had started changing a few days ago, he promised to keep a closer eye on him.

Naruto sighed "How did you know Kyuu?"

The blond looked his brother fully in the face, the other tapped his nose

"ah shoot."

Naruto rubbed the back of his head "I've been ill for a bit, but I don't know if I should be worried about it or not."

Kurama looked at his brother "I'd say you should be, it's affected your scent"

while getting sick wasn't uncommon, getting sick enough for your scent to change was something serious, being mistreated by family or someone close could also cause a scent change but it was more of a sad undertone then what Kurama could pick up from his brother.

The new scent coming from his brother was kinda milky and sweet, not something he could place as anything other then not belonging to either the fox or the wolf, they only thing he could think was that Naru-chan was getting sick.

"I'll call a doctor for you and set up an appointment" The red fox sighed,

he was guessing the blond hadn't told his mate either,

"okay Kyuu" he pouted,

Naruto didn't like going to the doctors.

Kurama sighed lightly, at least if they took him to the doctor whatever was wrong with his brother could be sorted out and hopefully fixed. Naruto smiled softly, he knew his brother cared and that was why he didn't want him to worry, he hadn't really felt sick enough to worry its, just that he'd been feeling sick for two weeks.

Thats along time to not be able to enjoy lunch. Naruto finished his lunch slowly, not wanting it to upset his tummy, he just hoped whatever it is, wasn't anything serious.

~RaRe~

Sasuke was ready to just burn his office down, when he came in the stacks had been back to what he had started the day before, and by lunch he had another stack to go through. No matter how many files he signed off on and pushed off it seemed more would take its place.

The female beta that was working as a secretary would apologize every time she come back to his office, the last time the poor pinkette actually squeaked at the glare the Uchiha had sent her way. It wasn't her fault that the work kept piling up, but he would much rather be at home with his new mate.

Maybe he was annoyed that the pinkette had tried flirting with him when he first came in, it was clear by his scent that he had been mating with someone. He had made it very clear he was not interested in the rabbit girl.

"Mr. Uchiha, Nara has finished his work for the day. Do you need help in here?" The pink rabbit asked,

her head barely dipping into the room. He merely lifted a handful of files towards the girl for her to send over to Shikamaru, they had all been signed already but the lazy genius would look them over and find anything that was unreasonable or had been missed before they were turned into dossiers for his teams.

He had several three man teams and a few four man teams, he had about nine teams in total employed to the company, but every once in a while he'd break the teams down to two mans if there were a lot of easy jobs.

Unfortunately, they had a lot of jobs and only three or four that he had run across could be handled by smaller teams, this whole thing seemed to be a scheduling nightmare, he could only schedule his men to work so many hours and so many jobs a week that it was getting ridiculous, and he'd hate to have to turn clients away but he's company was completely booked through for the next month solid.

He had his own ceremony to plan as well, although he had roped Itachi in on that as well, he had his best three man booked for that day as well, from there the team would head off to two more jobs before their work day ended.

Thankfully Shikamaru had worked out a good health plan for the company, and they now had maternity/paternity leave as well, the workers were much happier with what they were offered once Sasuke took control over the company. They got good hours, decent pay, health care, working at Uchiha Securty Inc was one of the best jobs in the whole village.

Sasuke knew though that if he didn't figure it out soon though the company would drown. Shikamaru walked through his office door, whistling lowly

"Troublesome"

Sasuke merely Hn'd at the brunet,

"I'll make a notice not to accept anymore requests for the month" The pineapple haired Alpha stated,

wearily eying the half finished stack of files.

Sasuke nodded, "Good, we're booked through."

Shikamaru picked through the stacks of files, efficiently sorting out the files for the month,

"I'll have Sakura and Hinata call and cancel these before it's to late." He stood then and left.

It had happened quickly enough that Sasuke was surprised at the man's speed, but it was well enough, they just didn't have enough man power at the time. All the files left would be after the month ended, which was great, that took a great deal of pressure off Sasuke immediately.

Though the end of the month was coming in a week and a half, it meant that he could better plan out schedules, that there was time to re-work things if there was a scheduling conflict, unlike what his teams had now. All of which was mandatory.

Sasuke managed another third of the files before he had to stop, his hand was cramping to badly and his mind was was refusing to understand the words on the pages any longer. It was still bright out when he left the building, it felt like he had been trapped inside for the whole day, he was glad he'd get time with his mate before bed though.

He was sure his blond was lonely and bored during that day while he was at work, and he'd been working overtime just to finish the ever growing workload, his mate was almost always either tucked out or about to when he'd get home.

Sasuke wasn't surprised to find Kurama over when he entered the house, it was actually kinda nice and he was happy the red head was around to keep his mate out of trouble. The two were cooking, something he'd only gotten to experience after the food had gone cold and was placed in the fridge, "Mmm" He said loud enough to get their attention,

the blond's smile was blinding "Sasuke! You're home!" he was bouncing lightly

"I'm home" he said softly,

a small smile tugging at his lips. Kurama stirred something in a pot on the stove,

"Just in time too, the spaghetti is done"

|| Woo! What do you guys think? It's hard to tell if people still like the story v.v anyway! The next chapter will be the ceremony! It's kinda like a wedding for mated pairs, or a handfasting if anyone knows what that is, 100 points if you do !||
