Chapter One.

A/N.

So I had this idea rolling around in my head like a fat dog with no legs...I know, I know, it's a terrible and funny image at the same time. But seriously...I've been wanting to write a Naruto story with the characters, and not just with OC's. So this is my attempt. No laughing...okay you can laugh but not too loudly please. XD

So this is gonna contain Sasu/Naru with a healthy helping of Kaka/Iru. Don't like don't read, it's that simple.

"Sasuke." The youngest Uchiha turned to his bodyguard, mentor, and friend. "You know your parents arent' going to be happy if we leave empty handed." Kakashi smiled a little at his young charge, his voice slightly muffled by the mask he wore constantly.

"Hn." The black haired boy scowled at life in general as they headed to the Bazar, the crowded market place filled to the brim with strange and exotic things; Ranging from spices and clothing to the scantily clad women that called out to the men and women who came here to shop.

But they were not after just anything, they were after a rariety, even in this land of the exotic. It was customary for the extrordinarily wealthy to buy -certian- objects, things that the average joe on the street couldn't even afford to look at. They were simply known as Jins, not to be confused with Djinns or Genies. No, Jins were something else all together, they looked human, spoke the human language, even carried human mannerisms. The only thing that kept them apart from being human were the strange animal like appendages that sprouted from there bodies. Some even had more then one tail.

This is what the youngest Uchiha and his Mentor had come for. When a member of a wealthy family like Sasuke's reached a certian age, he or she had to go to the Bazar with his or her mentor. The mentor was someone who had been with them since birth, taught them to eat, walk, fight. Basically the mentor took the job of the parent, allowing said people to enjoy having offspring without having to worry about raising them. Both the child and the mentor had to pick a Jin, and that Jin would live with them for the rest of their lives. Jins were treated as pets, and you took care of your pet, bathed him, fed him, took him for walks. Some even entered there Jins in competitions, but that's getting a little off topic.

"This looks like the place." Kakashi said, mostly for his own benefit. He motioned Sasuke to follow him into the dingy looking building. A burly looking man with a machete in his belt took note of the two, picking up a clip board and a pencil.

"Names." He growled, not looking like the type of man you'd want to joke around with.

"Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha." The two waited as the burly man scanned his clipboard before making two heavy checking motions before grunting and motioning them forwards with the pencil.

"There expecting you."

"Hn." Was Sasuke's only response as he followed his mentor to the small curtain that seperated the small dingy room from the spaciously clean waiting area.

"Ah, greetings to you both gentlemen." The tall thin man who greeted them could only be described as 'creepy', he had an overbite, which was promintly displayed thanks to thin lips. His cheekbones were sunken in and his eyes were small and beedy. They flicked from side to side, giving him the illusion of ratlike behavior, his long fingers clutched themselves in a nervous habit as he surveyed the two standing before him. (A/N. Think of Jafar.)

"I hear congradulations are in order to the young master. Getting a Jin is no small feat." And no cheap one either, the tall man thought with a well hidden smirk. "May I show you to the cages? We've just received a fresh batch, caught just last month. Most are still being trained properly to wear clothing." The tall man 'tisked' as if it were a tragedy. "They are as beasts when they first come to us, they speak our langage, but they roam the lands naked as the day they are born."

"That's terrible. We are in a hurry and cannot spend more then three hours looking. The Young Master is receiving his Mark tonight." Kakashi began, wanting to speed along the process and get the tall strange man away from him and his charge.

"Yeesss." The thin man nearly hissed in excitement as he turned and began to walk briskly away to a darkened hallway. It was something to be excited about, the Mark was a small tattoo on a part of the body. It was decided where by the tattoo artist who applied it. The Mark showed others that the person receiving it was now part of the adult world. Men and Woman recieved a Mark and a Jin when they reached seventeen years of age.

"I'll take you to the freshly caught ones first."

"Did you hear, some new noble turned seventeen. Him and his slave are touring the factory." A small boy with rabbit ears and a small puff ball for a tail remarked from his cage. He was curled in the corner, watching the other Jins sharing the room.

"Heh, he'll probably find one of the new ones to his liking." Muttered a girl with horns and a bull tail.

"Good, who wants to be some snobby nobles pet." Snapped a boy with nine tails. His face carried six whisker marks. "Come along -pet-" He mimicked harshly. "We have work to do on you. Look at this hair, and these clothes." The others in the room snickered at the blonde boy. They had all been here since they had been captured seven years ago. Most had been children, torn from family and friend alike to serve the selfish needs of the nobility in this world.

Several Jins began to sniff the air, most huddled in the back, terrified of being taken from this familiar world. The Rabbit boy curled farther into himself, pulling the thick blanket over himself as the smell drew closer, the noble was coming here, and they already had a Jinn.

I was just gonna end it here, but I hate cliffy's so I won't be that cruel to you. XD

Umino Iruka trailed his new master, raw hatred in his eyes as they neared the room that held the younger Jins. He had been captured several months back, taken from the ocean as he hunted. He had been forced to dress in man's clothing, forced to use man's tongue rather then the unique language that the Jins possessed. He hated the nobles, and his hatred towards the silver haired man who had looked at him in apparent boredom and nodded yes was stronger then he had ever thought possible.

They entered the dark room and Iruka's eyes softened, all the small Jins huddled in there cages, hiding as if afraid. Well of course they were afraid, they had been here for seven years, it was all they knew since they had been taken from there homes.

XxX XxX

Sasuke looked around, a bored expression on his face. He had been in nearly every room, looked at almost evey Jin the creepy man had to offer. He had been told that when he found his Jin he would know, would feel an instant connection.

Small white ears stuck out from under a blanket, they trembled showing the small Jins terror. Sasuke scoffed, his parents wanted him to pick something so weak, so terrified of Humans, what was the point he wondered. A girl with spotted cat ears and a twitching leopard tail glared at him from eerie green eyes, she looked as if she would rip out his throat if he moved wrong.

Large fluffy tails surrounded one of the Jinns in the back corner, hints of soft tanned skin peeked through. Sasuke felt himself softening as he appraoched the cage. He wrapped his fingers around one of the bars, sinking to his knees to peer closer at the small ball of fur.

One of the tails moved and the bluest eyes he'd ever seen peered back at him. He hid his strangled gasp, his grip on the bars tightening. The eyes hardened like ice, and Sasuke felt himself pulled back from the cage as the blue eyed boy launched himself at the cage, pointed teeth showing and growling as if he were facing off a pack of predators rather then a Noble choosing his Jin.

"That one." Sasuke managed as the blonde boy stood, his tails fanning out behind him, every one of them expanded in rage till the entire back of the cage filled with fur.

"Are you sure Young Master?" The tall man asked, shooting a glare at the blonde who had chased a number of Nobles away from his shop...then again, if the noble choose him he could charge him extra.

"Yes." Sasuke made the motions to move closer and the entire room filled with cries. Some loud and angry, others low and mournfull. Hisses and curses were spit in his direction as the Tall man unlocked the door, he held a simple stick. The Jins had all seen first hand what that stick could do, and it was the reason the Blonde stood still as his hands were tied in front of him and a muzzle tied around his face. A coller was roughly attatched to his neck and the leash was handed to the black haired boy who couldn't stop staring.

"What's your name?" Sasuke managed, ignoring the look Kakashi gave him for acting like a simpering idiot. The blonde simply sneered, glacial blue eyes locked on Sasuke's dark ones.

"The young Master asked your name. It would be wise to give it." The tall man whispered menecingly, brandishing the stick like a weapon.

"Naruto." The blonde whispered as if defeated, his gaze moved from the dark haired boy to the tanned man behind the Nobles slave. There was a scar across the bridge of his nose, it looked as if he had come out on the wrong end of a territory battle. Honey brown eyes locked onto his own and the man whispered something in the soft musical language the Jins used amongst themselves. Naruto nodded, stepping out of his cage.

"Be brave." Were his last words uttered to the room of young Jins as he stepped out of the dark area and into the light. He blinked, lifting his arms to sheild his eyes.

"Well, now that you each have a Jinn, it comes down to the payments." The tall man began, his thin lips curling into a nasty smile.

"Talk to my father." The thin man stared at Sasuke as if he hadn't heard the young man.

"W-what?" He stuttered.

"Do you really think we would walk into the Bazar with the amount of money it would cost for two Jins?" Kakashi asked, raising an eyebrow. "The Uchiha will be here in the morning to discuss payments." With that the two left the brightly lit waiting area, walking swiftly out the door and into the noisy Bazar.
