A/N: Thank you for the reviews! I'm not sure when I'll update next so I won't make any promises. I'll update when I can. Enjoy the chapter.

The first thing he noted as he slipped into consciousness was a terrible headache. He was almost unwilling to open his eyes because of the pulsating pain. The sun had not yet risen because he usually awakened to the warm rays. Meaning, he did not have to get up as of yet.

However, something was off, it was just taking his sluggish, sleep ridden brain a few extra minutes to put the pieces together. Naruto knew he was failing to remember something important.

Reluctantly, he cracked one eye open and then the next. Why the hell was it so dark? Squinting, he realized that there was a man's face in his line of sight. Said man was handsome, but the constipated look wasn't too appealing.

The moonlight that hit the man's face is enough to jolt his brain and body into action. How the hell could he have been so calm just a few seconds ago? Naruto began to fail, he needed to get away!

This man had kidnapped him, how could he have been sleeping so peacefully in his arms? That alone was enough to convince him that he needed to be checked into a mental institution.

The more he struggled, the tighter the grip on his body became. It was so painful, that he stilled, biting his tongue to withhold the painful cry. He would not give the psycho the pleasure of knowing he was in pain.

Taking a few deep breaths, he deiced to calm down and take in his surroundings. If he tried hard enough he would be able to make a plan. All he needed to do was concentrate.

It was so dark that he was unable to see most of the area. The only thing that he could make out were trees and endless darkness. Naruto thought it likely that he was in a forest. How was he going to get away if he had no idea where he was?

The panic was starting to set in again. Resorting to violence was all that came to mind. Balling his hand into a fist, he aimed at the man's face. To his dismay it didn't connect. What terrified him was the fact that he didn't see the man dodge.

Naruto groaned as he made contact with the ground. How dare that bastard drop him? It took him a few extra seconds to realize that he's free. Once the thought was cemented, adrenaline kicked in.

Naruto scrambled to his feet and ran. He was tempted to look back, but he recalled the numerous dreams in which he did look back. The thought made him shudder, but his gait didn't flatter.

Soon the urge to turn around was too strong and he could not control the impulse. A sigh of relief left him until he realized that a man was chasing him. In a blink of an eye that relief becomes terror.

How could this be possible!? The man was shifting, his limbs twisting, bending at odd angles. He was aware that he has slowed down, but couldn't stop himself from looking. Why was it so easy to see now?

Naruto was almost certain that the darkness was the same, but he could see the change without any issue. He could see the hair inching over the man's body, almost devouring the naked flesh. In his panic and awe, he was vaguely aware that he had stopped running.

The man was no longer human when he dropped to all fours. He should run, but he was rooted, unable to make his body move. However, adrenaline jolted him into action once the creature howled.

Naruto was grateful that his body was moving despite the fear that he felt. It was almost painful, which he knew made little sense, but it was the only way he could describe it. What truly terrified him was the likeness of this situation and his dream.

The fact that the dream never had a definite end was almost enough for his legs to give out on him. But, he pushed forward; this wasn't how he planned to die. After all he was way too young to die!

His body was reaching his limit, but he struggled to keep running. Every few seconds he tripped over something, nearly tumbling to the ground. It was difficult to ignore his muscles twitching, threatening to give up at any minute.

As his body faltered, he was tackled to the ground by a hairy, heavy and extremely warm body. The impact knocked the wind out of him. He laid on his stomach, fear paralyzing him.

Was this how he would die? If it was, he refused to die like a coward, regardless of how frightened his was. It took a lot of effort to roll over on his back, but he managed. His eyes are shut and he can't quite will them open.

It took as much effort as it did to roll over to open his eyes. The minute he did, he regretted it. Staring down at him is a gigantic black wolf. What truly terrified him were the red eyes. They were the same red eyes that have been haunting his dreams.

Despite his body's inability to move, his heart beat was out of control. All Naruto could hear was the blood pulsating in his ears. The wolf was staring at him, unblinkingly. He tried not to flinch as the gigantic head moved closer.

The warm breath in front of his face was unnerving. It was extremely difficult not to scream when the wolf's mouth was in front of his face, sharp teeth in his line of sight. He tried to ignore the salvia dripping onto his shirt.

This was really the end. He was going to be eaten by a gigantic black wolf that had been haunting his dreams! Blinking rapidly he tried to battle the tears that tried to fall at the thought of not being able to say goodbye to Iruka.

Naruto gasped in horror, trying to lean as far back when the wolf began to snap at him. Those sharp teeth were too close for comfort. He tried to convince himself that the pathetic whimpering sound was not coming from him.

He wasn't sure if he should have been relieved or weary when the wolf retreats, stopping to stand a foot away. The wolf was slowly turning back into the man that had kidnapped him. It seemed that he can no longer deny the fact that his dreams had simply been a figment of his own imagination.

Miles of naked man was all his eyes seem to focus on. Despite him being a man, it was quite embarrassing to look at. It wasn't as if he wanted an eyeful of penis, a rather large penis, he had to begrudgingly admit.

He knew that he should say something, but all he managed were chocking noises. There wasn't much going on in his mind except some lingering thoughts of possible werewolves and nakedness.

The man didn't say a word; he simply turned around and walked deeper into the forest. Naruto got an eyeful of ass this time. That was more of his kidnapper than he had ever wanted to see, ever.

Was he really planning to walk through the forest naked? Wasn't that uncomfortable? Wouldn't he feel cold? Wasn't it odd to have his thing just bouncing around while he walked? How could he assume that it bounced?

Naruto shook his head viciously, realizing that the man's nakedness wasn't something he should be focusing on. The man hadn't turned back to check if he was following, so maybe he could try to escape again.

At that thought his legs pulsated in protest. Naruto looked around and noted the scenery hadn't changed a bit. All he saw was trees and dirt. Getting lost in the woods while he was exhausted wouldn't help his survival.

What if there were more werewolves in the woods? The thought made him shiver. Being eaten was not on the agenda, they would have to find another meal. Hesitantly, he followed his kidnapper.

If he really wanted to hurt him, wouldn't he have done it already? Naruto used that thought to reassure himself that this was the best solution for his problem for now.

Naruto was jealous and uncomfortable at the same time. He wished he had as much confidence to walk around naked in a forest. It was kind of difficult not to stare at the man's shapely ass, when it was right in front of him.

It wasn't a very heterosexual thing to do, but for some reason his eyes kept wandering toward the man's butt. It was awkward and he needed to stop! Why couldn't he put on some clothes and save him from the mental scarring he'd have to face?

"Why don't you put on some clothes?" He blurted out before he could stop himself.

The man didn't answer, which only irritated him.

"I'll give you my clothes. I'm tired of looking at your butt!"

Again, he ignored him. Naruto vowed to not talk to the man again. He'd take this time to figure out another plan of escape, despite the ache in his legs.

Naruto looked to the distance and noticed that the sun was about to rise. How much longer did they have to walk? Better yet, how long had they been walking? Fatigue and pain was consuming his body with each step that he took.

It wasn't long before he gave in and slumped down by a nearby tree. He felt as if he could pass out from exhaustion. When he stretched his legs out he could see the muscles twitch and there was a strong pulse of pain every few seconds.

To make matters worse his throat was dry, it had become painful to swallow. Naruto cursed his kidnapper, quietly. The bastard hadn't bothered to put on a stitch of clothing, although he had asked him nicely.

Naruto didn't care what the man wanted anymore because he wouldn't be walking any longer. His eyes drooped and it was becoming difficult to fight sleep. It was funny how willing he was to welcome sleep despite knowing that he probably wasn't safe with this mad man.

His eyes fluttered open and he sputtered when he comes face to face with his kidnapper's penis. Did this man not know the meaning of boundaries? He backed away, causing bark to dig into his back.

In his panic he tried to ignore the pain and the heat on his cheeks. All he wanted to do was get away from that man. However, his panic was replaced with confusion when he was scooped up into a pair of strong and warm arms.

What was his life? Was this some twisted fairy tale, where he got carried through the woods in the arms of a naked knight? However, this man was a kidnapper, who turned into a wolf; he couldn't be classified as a knight in shining armor.

Naruto knew that he should be fighting, but he didn't have enough energy. There was another reason that he isn't willing to admit. It was odd, but he felt safe in the man's arms, his hold was almost familiar.

If this wasn't enough to convince him that he was losing his mind, then he didn't know what would. There had to be something so wrong about feeling safe with a man that had recently kidnapped him.

Naruto began to squirm, trying not to get too comfortable with the fact that the man's body heat seeping through his clothes was quite pleasant. How could he behave like this? Maybe, he should have some more shame?

He had always thought that he was a heterosexual male. But, heterosexual males didn't feel all weird when being carried through the woods by a naked man who seemed hell bent on sharing body heat. Not only did this man have him questioning his sanity, but his sexuality.

This was an odd relationship that they were developing. He was almost certain that this wasn't the type of relationship a kidnapper should have with the person they kidnapped. He may be hostile, but he was still treating him like a person.

"What's your name?" This went against his better judgment, but he wanted to know. It was actually quite stupid to try to form a relationship with him, but he couldn't control his curiosity.

"Sasuke."

This was the first time his kidnapper…Sasuke had spoken to him. He was quite surprised that he had received an answer. Despite how much he desired to loath every part of this man, he thought Sasuke's voice was quite enthralling.

From the moment those nightmares began, this man was hell bent on destroying his sanity. This man had been all that he thought about in consciousness and unconsciousness, regardless of his form.

How was he going to survive this with his sanity intact?
