The corners of Sasuke's mouth twitched in a hint of a smile before he reached his hand out to scratch Naruto behind the ears, earning a small appreciative sigh. Standing up, Sasuke made his way to the door and opened it. He turned his head, "Be strong, Naruto..." The boy said softly before walking out and closing the door behind him.

Naruto curled into a ball on the bed. Be strong? How could he be strong in a situation like this? He felt so little here, and what was his purpose? Was he eventually going to be killed? Were they going to torture him or skin him for his fur...? He buried his face into his tails and sighed, closing his eyes. Memories of his mother flooded into his mind, and he sobbed quietly, crying himself to sleep with the slightly comforting images of his mother...

But, to Naruto's dismay, there was another person that imprinted himself in his brain, and as much as he hated to be thinking about him... He felt so calm, his voice was quiet in the large room,

"Uchiha… Sa... su… ke..." Maybe he'd be able to help him out of this mess...

Sanctuary Chapter Two: And so He Said

Fix it if it's broken, baby...

Naruto awoke the next morning to the sun blazing through the hole-like window, and to his faint surprise, he wasn't alone, but being clutched tightly to the chest of Uchiha Itachi. And to his dismay, the man wasn't asleep, but staring deeply into his small, crimson eyes. "What?" The kit growled groggily, trying to pull his small form away from Itachi.

Sitting up in the bed, Itachi placed his hands on either side of Naruto, staring down at the kit, "… Naruto, was it?" He murmured melodically, a small grin claiming his lips. Sasuke had informed him that that was his name, Uzumaki Naruto. "Show me what you really look like." The man demanded, eyes staring hard at the small fox demon.

"What?" He barked, trying to inch away from the man's lustful stare- it was quite scary if you gazed into those red eyes long enough. "Wh-why should I..."

"Because if you don't I'll have to chop your tails off one by one," Itachi replied immediately, one of his hands moving to grab one of Naruto's tails, the other pulling out his black five inch dagger.

Naruto quite literally 'eeped', and if foxes could sweat, he sure would have done so (a waterfall, I swear!). When Itachi saw that he didn't at all move to change, he pressed the dagger against Naruto's tail, making the boy yelp out in pain when he began to slowly move the dagger against his tail in a saw-like motion. "Okay, okay!" The boy cried out as it broke skin and his poor tail began to bleed. "I'll change... I'll… change..." He stated, sounding defeated and he loathed the fact that he was cornered.

"Good," Itachi smirked, sitting up to give the boy some room.

The fox kit didn't like at all that he was going to change right in front of another, but he had no choice, lest his tails get chopped off one after another. Closing his eyes, the fox began to slowly morph into a teenage sized boy, his blood-red fur turning into flawless, tanned skin. Sunflower-colored blond hair sprouted from his head. Bones cracked and repositioned themselves and Naruto groaned as his fox form was small and having to become 'human' was a big strain on his usually small form. After changing his body into his more human-like appearance, Naruto opened his brilliant blue eyes, blinking them warily as Itachi stared. His tails, however, seemed to want to stay, as well as the dark whisker-marks on the boy's cheeks. His fox ears twitched and he looked away from Itachi's leering eyes. He felt like he was being swallowed whole.

Reaching out a hand, Itachi traced one of the whisker marks with his finger, grin seeming to grow wider as the boy tensed in response. "Excellent..." He muttered to himself softly, head tilting to the side in a scrutinizing manner. Itachi was looking at Naruto like he was a piece of art, or mayhaps a piece of delicious raw meat. Raising up a hand, he pushed Naruto onto his back.

"Eh? Excellent?" Naruto questioned, blushing as he noticed his nude state. He'd never worn any clothes, so... Whenever he changed he would be naked. The kit covered himself with his tails, fair brows pressing together in fear. "What are you…"

Itachi didn't reply to the boy's implied question, only scooped up his wrists and pinned them over the boy's head, drawing a startled whimper from the fox boy. The wolf demon also moved in between Naruto's legs, which made Naruto, in turn, try to squeeze him with his thighs, but with a warning look from Itachi, he ceased to do so and let his legs fall limp to the sides.

"Wh-what the hell do you think are you doing?" The blond yelled at him, obviously very, very scared about what it was the man was planning to do with him. But sadly, Itachi seemed to ignore the boy's question once more, a hungry look growing in his crimson eyes.

"My, my…" He smirked, "It's a pity you aren't in this delicious form all the time..." Itachi murmured while running a hand down Naruto's flushed chest.

Naruto shuddered slightly, body squirming away from Itachi's touch as his hands fought against the tough grip around his wrists. "Stop touching me!" The boy hissed, a tint of crimson flashing dangerously in his eyes.

Itachi's hand trailed lower, the wolf ignoring Naruto's words, "… A rare find indeed…"

The kit gasped softly as Itachi's hand moved to his thigh, stroking it, kneading the flesh of his inner thigh. A deep blush colored the boy's whiskered cheeks. "Stop it," He pleaded, a small, throaty cry escaping his mouth as the Uchiha wasted no time and made a grab for Naruto's flesh, slowly beginning to stroke it as he leaned over, pressing a hungry kiss to Naruto's lips.

Naruto couldn't deny that it was obviously starting to feel good as Itachi's hand steadily stroked him to half hardness, but he didn't want it to feel good, and didn't lean into Itachi's kiss either; only gasped for breath when it had ended, the boy turning his head and panting heavily, body trembling as he tried to contain the moans that so desperately wanted to escape. He was shaking and tears pricked his eyes. Was this way he had been spared? For this freaks entertainment?

Itachi seemed to be enjoying himself as he grinned at Naruto, "Naruto, yo-" he was interrupted as his door was suddenly ripped open by Kisame.

"Uh... Sorry sir. I see that you're… um… Busy," He said a tad sternly, eyes focused on Naruto with burning jealousy, "... but the base has been infiltrated by a cat demon, and I believe this matter needs your attention..."

Glaring heavily at Kisame, Itachi sighed and nodded, letting the boy go and moving off the bed. Immediately Naruto dove under the covers to hide himself, a deep blush tinting his cheeks, tears of helplessness leaking from his eyes. He had to get out of here... The boy never wanted Itachi to touch him like that again, never wanted the man to make him feel like that, so good... when he hated him with everything he had.

A frown crossed Itachi's lips as he heard the information, "Take the two guards that were on duty in for questioning, and don't forget to punish them afterwards, they should have never allowed any outsiders to enter the base—the fact that they didn't notice is the point! Don't question me, question them, now." The elder Uchiha growled, eyes narrowing at the man before he finally nodded and shrank back.

The Uchiha rubbed at the bridge of his nose in annoyance, looking to his side to see Sasuke appear there, snooping around in hopes of getting some information to what happened.

"A cat demon entered our base," He ground out, "I bloody hate cat demons... Anyway, they found… Heh," Here Itachi stopped to shake his head, "They found a hairball."

Sasuke blinked, trying to hold back a fit of laughter. A hairball? How typically like... a cat.

"Yes, so now the two guards are going to be questioned… Sasuke, go check on Naruto."

Nodding, Sasuke accepted the new mission and left his brother's presence.

"Are you sure you didn't see the cat come in? Nothing at all?" Kisame asked, slamming his fists onto the table in frustration.

"Yes! We swear!" Cried one of the guards, sinking back into his chair, folding his arms across his chest.

"... well... I did see..." Started the second guard in a meek tone, he was scared, but he knew he had to talk.

"See what?" Kisame demanded, sneering at the man, nails tapping against the table impatiently.

".. I saw something pink in the corner of my eyes… but… I didn't think..." The wolf demon looked down.

"Pink?" Kisame's eyes widened for a moment, before he smirked, turning around and nodding to two other wolves. "Give them their punishment before putting them in the cells."

The two wolves nodded, smirking nastily at the two guards.

Kisame exited the room, being greeted by Itachi who was just about to come in, "Sir, one of the guards said that he saw something pink catch the corner of his eye-"

"Oh?" Itachi breathed, suddenly interested. A sly smirk crossed his lips. "I see... So it was her after all."

"Yes, I think we can safely say from the pink-like hairball that it's certainly-"

"-Haruno Sakura, of the cat demon tribe." Itachi finished, a bored expression slowly overcoming his face.

"Yes."

"Aniki!" Sasuke shouted, panting as he came to a hault infront of his brother. He was in his wolf form, most likely because he moved faster and could sense things better as so.

"What is it, Sasuke?" Itachi asked, turning his head slightly and quirking a brow.

"It's Naruto," The boy said breathlessly

"Naruto?"

"Yes! He's escaped!"

"What!" Kisame cried for Itachi, growling softly. That stupid little fox brat needed to know his place!

"Well well.. Let's see how our little kit does in a base packed full of wolves, shall we? We should be able to sniff him out within the hour, do not worry." Itachi commented calmly before slowly walking away. Try and hide, my little Naruto. I will find you... and make you mine.

Fin, Fix it if it's broken, baby...

Next time:

"Sakura? But what are you doing here? You're a cat… and I heard that they've already figured that much out.." Naruto said in a hushed tone, eying the green-eyed cat girl before him.

"Yes, don't worry about it, Naruto. I want them to know I'm here. Want them to know what tribe I'm from, because..."

"Because?"

"... the second war is coming soon, and the wolves are going down this time."

Whew, revised this chapter and added a few things. I hope you enjoy the edits—I believe they help to make the story come about more smoothly. R&R, desshou?

Ai,
