Disclaimer: Once again I do not own any of the Naruto characters but the rest is my idea.

Warning: There will be some male on male love going on in this chapter.

The rest of the day proved to be uneventful. Sasuke just showed Naruto a few more things he would need to do which include; making Sasuke's bath; make sure Sasuke's clothes, armor, and room were clean every day; attending parties as his personal servant; and he is to travel with Sasuke as well.

Of course, Naruto didn't agree to everything, but Sasuke would give valid arguments reminding him what would happen if he disobeyed. Naruto really didn't want to be killed, but he would hold Sasuke to his statement where if Sasuke were to get tired of him he would be released. Also, Naruto remembered that he would out live Sasuke and when Sasuke died he could just leave then. It's just a few human years out of his long demon life.

Naruto is considered a sixteen year old pup to demons but in human years he is about 128 years old. For every eight human years it is one demon year. So Naruto could wait, but that doesn't mean he could still be treated poorly.

Naruto agreed to all the chores only if Sasuke would treat him with a little more respect than a slave in public and would be treated as an equal when the two were alone. Sasuke agreed, but he still kept the lock on the window and guards at the door.

Dinner was brought up by the same servant that brought it last night with just as much food. The two ate in silence in the comfort of the warm room.

Naruto let out a satisfied breath when he finished eating. His body relaxed and he wrapped his tail around his waist. "I could get used to here if I eat like this every day."

Sasuke wiped his face with his napkin and said, "You will eat like this every day if you remain a good servant."

Naruto waved his hand lazily and replied, "Yeah yeah."

When Sasuke finished his dinner he had the same servant take the dishes back down to the kitchen.

"Naruto, would you like to take a bath?" asked Sasuke.

Naruto jumped up in excitement to finally get cleaned off from the last few days.

"Yeah! That sounds great!" replied Naruto.

Sasuke led Naruto into the large bathroom. There was a small basin that could fit one person on the left side of the room with a few buckets of water. A large pool filled with water took up most of the room. There were mosaics depicting mythical creatures and characters from stories all over the floor and walls. A large window sat behind the pool letting in moonlight that filled the whole room.

"Wow! This room is amazing!" exclaimed Naruto. He went over to the large pool and felt the water's temperature with his toe.

"It's warm." He looked at Sasuke in question. "How do you keep it warm?"

Sasuke grabbed a box of matches and went around the room lighting candles. "There is a room beneath this one with a large stove that sits directly under that pool. Whenever I choose to use the pool I can have servants light a fire in the stove and they will keep it going until I am finished," replied Sasuke.

"But do you have the water changed every day?"

"No, it's changed once every month. You wash in the basin then soak in the pool," Sasuke said as he lit the last candle. "Now, it's time for you to start your duties."

Sasuke walked over to the basin and stripped down until he was completely naked. He filled the basin with three of the large buckets of water and got in.

All the while Naruto stared in awe at Sasuke's god like beauty.

"Hand me the soap and a wash cloth over on the table Naruto," Sasuke said breaking Naruto out of his trance.

Naruto grabbed the bar of soap and the cloth and brought them over to Sasuke. He held them out for Sasuke to grab.

"You are to wash me Naruto." Sasuke smirked knowing what was to come next.

"The hell I am! You said all I needed to do was make your bath!" yelled Naruto

"That includes helping me wash. How am I supposed to reach my back?" Sasuke said.

"Grow another arm, or better yet a tail!" Naruto said smugly while waving his tail about.

"Well, as of now that is impossible so chop chop Naruto."

Naruto huffed and gave in. "Fine, but only your back! And you have to do mine as well!" Naruto smiled thinking he won this argument. But oh was he wrong.

Sasuke inwardly smiled at the thought of washing Naruto's back.

Once Sasuke was done washing Naruto switched him in the basin. When Naruto stripped he kept his tail wrapped conveniently round his waist hiding what Sasuke wanted to see so badly. But he couldn't complain too much since he was able to see Naruto's perfectly round bottom.

Sasuke was able to hold himself back generally well. Although there were a few times his hands wandered a little too close for comfort on Naruto's part.

Once the washing was done the two entered the still warm pool. Naruto was still covering himself with his tail. They relaxed in the water bathing in the moonlight in a calming quiet.

Except for Sasuke, it was a little too quiet. He had gotten used to Naruto's constant chatter and excessive energy all day and he was a little curious as to why he was quiet now.

"Naruto," called out Sasuke.

Naruto was sitting across from Sasuke staring out the window and looking at the moon. He shifted his eyes to look towards Sasuke. "Hmm?" he questioned.

Sasuke could see the longing to go home in Naruto's eyes. He just couldn't bring himself to let him go. The short time he has been spending with Naruto has made him enjoy life. It felt good to have Naruto relieve the pressure he receives from his father. And he didn't want to give it up.

"I am sorry you were taken from your home," he said sorrowfully.

Naruto just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "It wasn't you who took me away, although, you are the one keeping me here. But I can see why. This place is pretty boring. There are a few interesting people here, like that dog-breath Kiba. You just need someone to brighten up this dark and dreary place and I am just the guy for the job!" Naruto gave Sasuke a heartfelt smile that made Sasuke's heart jump a beat.

Sasuke chuckled at his comment. "You are right Naruto. That is the reason why I asked for you to be my personal servant. And I am sure the time we will spend together will be an adventure." Sasuke returned Naruto's smile with his own. This made Naruto blush and turn away in embarrassment.

"You're not as bad of a guy as I thought you originally were. You're actually kind of nice. Like what you said about Choji and how he is being over worked. I thought that was really thoughtful. And you are treating me a lot better than the servants I have seen been treated today." When Naruto looked up, he was startled to see Sasuke was just a few inches in front of him. He didn't even hear him.

"You keep surprising me Naruto," Sasuke whispered.

"How so?" asked Naruto just as quiet.

"First you are a raging animal with a strong will and refuse to be captured. You are loud and obnoxious. You talk almost constantly. Then I see you now, deep in thought and quiet. You are caring and kind. You confuse me and make me want to rip my hair out. Then you make me want to ravish you from head to toe."

Sasuke lifted his hand and caressed Naruto's cheek.

"But most of all, you are beautiful Naruto. And it angers me that those damn hunters cut your angelic face. I should have had them hanged for it."

Slowly Sasuke kept getting closer to Naruto's face.

"That would have been too harsh Sasuke," said Naruto while staring into the depth of Sasuke's magnificent black eyes.

Sasuke laughed softly getting closer and closer. He was only a mere inch from touching Naruto's lips.

Naruto's eyes shinned in the glow from the moon and only made Sasuke want him more.

"Can I kiss you Naruto?" Sasuke asked in barely a whisper, his breath caressing Naruto's lips.

"Yes," he replied.

Sasuke closed the minuscule gap between them and gently pressed him mouth against Naruto's.

It was everything Sasuke could have hoped for. His entire body tingled from the wonderful sensation. He brought his other arm to wrap around Naruto's body and hold him closer. His hand that was caressing Naruto's cheek moved to the back of his head and grabbed hold of his golden hair.

Naruto moaned into the kiss. He wanted more. He never knew Sasuke could feel this good. He wrapped his arms around the back of Sasuke's neck to pull him closer, his claws tickling Sasuke's back.

Sasuke felt Naruto's tail wrap around his waist and moaned from the arousing sensation.

Their mouths opened so they could get a better taste of the other. Their tongues battled for dominance. Of course Sasuke won but Naruto was happy to give in and just let Sasuke take over.

They continued until one of them needed to break for some air. The room was filled with heavy breathing. Naruto blushed and Sasuke smiled.

Sasuke hugged Naruto even closer to him and stuck his head in the crook of Naruto's neck relishing in the contact. Naruto held him there taking in Sasuke's intoxicating scent.

They stayed like this for quite some time not wanting to ruin the special moment.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, they got out of the pool before they turned into prunes as Naruto put it.

Sasuke refused to let go of Naruto. He always kept at least one hand touching Naruto. He grabbed a towel and dried Naruto off then himself. Once dry the two entered the bedroom and put on some night clothes.

Naruto let go of Sasuke and went to get his futon ready.

"Where are you going Naruto?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto stuttered a little, "T-to get my futon."

"My beds more comfortable," Sasuke stated. He sat down on the feathered bed and patted the spot next to him.

Naruto felt a little scared. He wasn't ready for such a big jump. He hasn't even had his first heat yet.

"I am not ready for that kind of thing Sasuke," he said. He felt embarrassed for even talking about something so big and looked down to the ground.

Sasuke could have squealed at how cute Naruto looked right then. But he wouldn't of course. He was an Uchiha.

"We won't Naruto. We'll just sleep. I'll feel better with you sleeping on softer bedding than that brick. Besides, it's supposed to get colder tonight and we can keep each other warm."

Naruto was touched by Sasuke's understanding. He went back to the large bed and slipped in under the covers with Sasuke.

He cuddled into Sasuke's comforting warmth. Sasuke hugged Naruto to him while nuzzling into Naruto's hair.

"You're making me not want to leave Sasuke."

"Good, cause I don't want you to."

And with that the two fell into a comforting slumber.

That morning, the King was greeted with an infuriating sight.

There was some trouble in the west that he wanted Sasuke to investigate. So he sent a servant to retrieve him. Only to have the servant return saying the Prince's door was locked and was not answering.

So the King told the servant to unlock the door.

The servant had tried that but did not have a key. Only the Prince had the key, and the King.

Frustrated and angered, the King went to retrieve his keys and decided to get his own wretched son.

Only to be greeted with this sight.

Over the night the covers were kicked off the two boys. Their legs and arms were intertwined to the point you almost couldn't tell whose body part was whose besides the fact that Naruto's skin was much darker than Sasuke's.

Naruto's face was in the crook of Sasuke's neck while Sasuke's was in Naruto's hair. Occasionally, Naruto's tail and ears would twitch.

The King had enough of this.

"SASUKE!" he yelled.

Sasuke and Naruto immediately woke up and scrambled to sit up.

"I said he could be your servant, which means you are able to so with him as you please, but I will not have it hinder your duties. Do you hear me boy?"

"Yes father," Sasuke said flustered.

Naruto cowered behind Sasuke. He could feel the hatred rolling off the King towards him. If Naruto ever doubted it before, he no longer did now. He knew that no matter what, if the King wanted him dead he would be.

"I want you down in the court in five minutes Sasuke. Be ready to travel. And I want you to take that vile creature with you on this trip."

"Yes father."

The King gave one more venomous glare and walked out of the room.

Sasuke could feel Naruto shaking against his back. He turned around and hugged Naruto as tightly as he could.

"I won't let him hurt you Naruto," Sasuke promised him while gently rocking Naruto.

Once Naruto calmed down they started their packing.

When they entered the great hall, the King was seated in his throne awaiting their arrival.

Naruto was carrying three bags full of clothes and supplies. Sasuke was wearing his armor and had his sword strapped to his belt.

"That was longer than five minutes Sasuke," said the King.

"I am terribly sorry father. There were some complications."

"Yes. There are some problems in the western villages. There are reports of night raids. Some witnesses have said that they are from the Valley of the Sands and I want you to investigate this issue. I want you to leave on your own so as not to attract attention. "

Naruto was standing just a little bit behind Sasuke and at the mention of the Valley of the Sands he perked up and started fidgeting.

"Yes father. We will set out immediately," said Sasuke taking notice of the change in Naruto's attitude.

They left the great hall and headed towards the stables.

"Why did you perk up when my father mentioned the Valley of the Sands?" Sasuke asked Naruto.

Naruto gave Sasuke a huge grin. "Gaara lives there."
