#7 of A Fox, a Dog and a Raven

Welcome to the first part of the second arc, 'Sexual Tensions'. In this arc Naruto is forced to question his sexuality after a surprise encounter with someone he hasn't seen in over two years. This is where the real story starts...

For those of you not familiar with the Naruto series there may be some words or terminology that you are not familiar with. I have listed such words in a journal. (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4979582/)Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto in any way, this is a non-profit fan-fiction written for fun.

In any case, you came here for the story, so I hope you enjoy it*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

"Yeah, why not?" Having taken his order Sobo began heading into the kitchen. "Hey wait! You never took Sasuke's order!"

"He-he-he, I know what Sasuke-kun likes." Sobo grinned, her statement making Sasuke blush some more.

"I guess you do come here quite often." Naruto grinned. "She seems like a nice old lady."

"Yeah..."

"I mean, she's like the grandmother I never had... if I was to imagine what my grandmother was going to be like."

"Yeah, she reminds me a lot of my own grandmother..." Sasuke said with a slight smile, the memory of his grandmother tainted with the fact that she had been killed by his brother Itachi, along with the rest of his clan. The thought used to make him so angry, the need for vengeance being fed by the memories, the anger was still there; but he no longer dwelled on it, not since that day when he had decided to give up on his vengeance...


Sexual Tensions - Part 1

"Grubs up!" Sobo announced as she place their food on the table in front of them. Naruto investigated his order of Donburri (a large bowl of rice with a mixture of fish and meat). Sasuke had been given his usual order of Chazuke (rice with a light fish stock and garnished with some grilled salmon and pickles), he also got Yakizakana (grilled fish). The pair dug into their food, Naruto finding the Donburri tasty, while not being a match for ramen but enjoyable none-the-less. Sasuke kept thinking about what he should say to Naruto, he wanted to drop subtle hints but Naruto being Naruto, if he was too subtle the blond would be completely oblivious and he would be stuck back in his current predicament, but if he came on too strong he might scare Naruto off, or worse ruin their friendship. Why did things have to be so so complicated? Before he knew it they had finished their food and Sasuke hadn't said anything.

'Why do I have to over think everything!?' Sasuke silently berated himself.

"That was good!" Naruto said aloud rubbing his stomach. It was now four in the morning, getting late by any ones standards.

"Hey Sasuke, does Sobo ever sleep? I mean if their open all night...

"Don't worry, Sobo and Sofu only sleep for a few hours at a time. Their grandson comes and does the breakfast run while they go and get some rest.

"Sounds like a tough life."

"Believe it or not but Sobo and Sofu used to be ninja like us."

"No way!"

"Yeah, they only made it to chunnin level but they were ninja for over thirty years. They retired and opened up this place before we were even born!"

"That's awesome!" Naruto grinned.

"Come on, we should be going home now, it's getting late." Sasuke figured he would think about how to approach Naruto with his feelings, after all Naruto was back for good, he wasn't going any where. They walked in silence until it came for them to go their separate ways, Sasuke was tempted to walk Naruto to his house but that might come across as weird, after all as close as this was to being a date, it wasn't one.

"Night Naruto." Sasuke waved as he headed down the street to his empty home.

"Night Sasuke..." Naruto watched as Sasuke disappeared from sight and found himself feeling alone, he was going home to an empty apartment with no one to welcome him. He had gotten used to Jiraiya being there, true there were nights when the pervert wouldn't make it to their hotel room, or would come in late at night stinking of booze but he had been a constant in Naruto's life, but now he was back home with all his friends he felt lonelier than ever. As he was walking home Naruto noticed that the hot springs were still open.

"Why not?" Naruto asked aloud. 'A quick dip will make me feel better.'

Naruto paid the attendant, who barely looked up from his magazine to deal with him, and made his way into the changing area. He removed his clothes and stored them with his sword in one of the spaces provided but kept his necklace on, the one he had won from Tsunade by being able to use the rasengan. He rarely took the necklace off, even though it was worth a small fortune, the green stone that hung from it was incredibly valuable, but even if it wasn't valuable it would still be important to him. It represented some important memories he never wanted to forget.

Grabbing a towel he wrapped it round his waist to maintain his modesty as he stepped into the hot springs. He was met by a wall of steam filled air, the cool night air being warmed by the hot water. Naruto padded over to the edge of the spring and dropped his towel to the ground, revealing his naked body, before stepping into the hot rejuvenating waters of the the spring. Almost immediately Naruto felt all the stiffness and sores leave his body, he leant back and let out a loud sigh of satisfaction.

The hot springs were just how he remembered them. There was a large rock formation in the centre of the spring allowing for groups of people to have some privacy and talk amongst themselves, or a diving platform where Naruto remembered he and his friends would jump into the pool splashing everyone nearby. Naruto smiled at the memories he had shared here with his friends.

"Some one there?" Came a voice from the other side of the hot spring. A figure appeared from the other side of rock, Naruto couldn't see who it was because of the mist that rose from the water.

"Uh, yeah." Naruto replied as he squinted to see who it was, the voice was familiar. The figure came close enough for Naruto to see them. "Kiba?"

"Naruto!?" Kiba said in surprise. "Hey, when did you get back in town?" Kiba grinned, moving to sit next to Naruto. Kiba had barely changed, he still had the red marks on his cheeks which was a sign of his clan. His usually untamed brunette hair was soaked and lay flat against his head. Kiba looked exactly the same, except he was now a few inches taller and was considerably buffer than before.

"I got back today, I mean yesterday... I guess it's pretty late now."

"Yeah, what leaves you here at this time?"

"Oh, I just didn't fancy going home yet... What about you?"

"I come here when I come back from a mission. I just got back tonight and enjoy a dip before going home."

"What about Akamaru?" Naruto asked, Kiba and the little pup were never seen without each other.

"He went home already, he doesn't like getting his fur wet before going to sleep." That made some sort of sense to Naruto, he didn't question it.

"So what's new with you? You dating anyone?" He asked curiously, still surprised about a few of the people his friends had decided to date. Ino and Choji being the biggest surprise of all of them.

"Oh... not much. Single... you?"

"Oh, yeah... I'm single too." Kiba smiled at the comment but Naruto didn't notice. Kiba moved closer to Naruto so that there arms were touching. "Kiba...?"

Naruto never got a chance to finish his question as Kiba leant in and kissed him. Naruto froze in shock for a moment, feeling Kiba's soft, moist lips pressed against his own, it was only when he felt the unmistakeable wetness of Kiba's tongue brush his lips that Naruto's body finally reacted. He shoved Kiba away, and in an ungraceful fashion scrambled into the middle of the hot spring with a large amount of splashing, before finally finding his footing and turning to stare at the brunette.

"What the hell Kiba!?" Naruto yelled.

"What?"

"Why did you kiss me?!"

"Why not?"

"Why not? Why not!?" Naruto was at a complete loss for an answer, he felt it should be plainly obvious why, but was too flustered to put it into words. Kiba now was standing and walking slowly towards Naruto who was back stepping away from him.

"Yeah... why not?" Kiba asked again. "You're single, I'm single, you're good looking, so why shouldn't I kiss you?"

"Because... because..." Naruto stammered finding it difficult to find the words. "Because I'm not into guys!" There it was, Kiba couldn't deny his reasoning! The statement stopped Kiba in his tracks

"Oh... are you sure?" Kiba asked, the question seemed genuine, throwing Naruto for a loop..

"Of course I'm sure! Why wouldn't I be sure!?"

"Because, you were checking me out!" Kiba's statement made Naruto blush, but he wasn't sure if it was in embarrassment or anger. He hadn't been checking out Kiba! Had he? "I totally saw you checking me out when I came over." Kiba insisted. "So I thought that you know..."

"No... No! I'm not GAY! I don't like guys!"

"Have you ever been with a guy?" Kiba's question yet again flustered Naruto and made him blush even harder.

"NO!"

"Then how do you know you don't like guys?"

"I..." Naruto didn't have an answer to that one but he had never thought about a guy like that, surely that meant he wasn't gay?!

"Come on Naruto." Kiba pleaded stepping forward again, Naruto instinctively stepping backwards for each step Kiba took towards him, until he bumped into something. Naruto turned and saw that he had backed into the giant rock in the middle of the spring, as he turned back to face Kiba he found the brunette was standing mere inches away from him. Before he could react Kiba planted both his hands against the rock on either side of Naruto, stopping him from escaping, his body pressed right up against Naruto's.

"You smell so... gooooood!" Kiba growled lustily, his face so close Naruto could feel his breath on his face. Naruto felt helpless, but at the same time a strange thrill ran through him as he found himself face to face with Kiba. Kiba didn't say a word, he simply leaned forward and once again pressed his lips against Naruto's; the kiss was forceful and intense.

'This can't be happening!' Naruto thought, his a jumble of thoughts as he tried to process what was happening to him. 'Kiba's... Kiba's kissing me! Push him away, punch him!' Naruto remained motionless but Kiba pulled away, breaking the one sided kiss and resting his forehead against Naruto's. Naruto realised that he had been holding his breath and forced himself to breath, his breathing heavy and ragged.

"Your lips are so soft." Kiba said, his voice almost a purr. "Relax Naruto, this is nothing to be afraid of." Naruto felt his body relax to the command of Kiba's statement which only confused him all the more. "It's perfectly normal to be nervous and a little freaked out. I was the same when I found out I like men."

"But... I don't like men." Naruto whispered.

"Then why does your body tell me otherwise?" Kiba grinned and Naruto realised that he was hard! He couldn't see it but he could most definitely feel it, he erection was pressed against Kiba's thigh and it was unmistakeable, but he could feel Kiba's own erection pressed against him.

Kiba kissed Naruto again but this time it was fleeting, a light brush of lips before Kiba began to kiss him on the cheek, then the jaw and then on the neck. Naruto could barely describe the sensations that ran through his body from the touch of Kiba's lips and he found himself letting out a moan. Kiba couldn't help but grin when Naruto moaned, it was like music to his ears. Naruto had grown very attractive during his time away and Kiba couldn't help himself, but he knew he shouldn't push him too far too fast. Kiba pulled away, Naruto all but collapsed now that Kiba wasn't holding him up, his legs felt like jelly while his cock felt like rock. Naruto looked up at Kiba, the brunettes erection peaking out just above the surface of the water, Naruto could barely tear his eyes off it to look Kiba in the face.

"Look, I'm sorry... I know this is all new to you so I'm not going to push." Naruto was a little confused at the turn around in the situation, Kiba had all but forced himself upon him and was now apologising. "Look, this is probably really confusing to you and... I like you, your sexy and I'm not going to lie about that. So if you want to experiment or what ever then I'll be here tomorrow night. No one ever comes here after midnight so we'll have privacy so you can come and tell me to back off or we can take this thing further, I'll leave it up to you." Naruto just stared at him as he tried to process what Kiba had just said to him. "You okay?" Naruto simply nodded not trusting himself to speak just yet. "Then I'll see you tomorrow... I hope." He smiled and turned and began walking to the edge of the pool.

Naruto watched him the entire time, not moving a muscle, he watched as Kiba climbed out of the pool and walked naked back into the changing room. Just as Kiba was about to step through the sliding door he saw Kiba stop and look back at him, he vision obscured because of the steam but Naruto swore that Kiba winked at him, or was he just hoping that he did? Naruto's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions and it took a while before he trusted himself to move. His erection had faded but the more he thought about Kiba, the feeling of Kiba kissing him he would find himself getting hard again, what the hell was happening to him?
