Demon of My Dreams (ReVamped)

Chapter 15

"So Sasuke," onyx eyes fluttered open and through bleary, sleepy eyes, saw the figure of his brother standing above him. "When did you decide on partaking in the prophecy?"

He raised a confused eyebrow at his brother before looking to his side. His eyes widened as he realized he was holding an equally confused, human Naruto, in his arms. In his bed.

Confused cerulean eyes met his own and at the same instant, the two jumped away from each other, out of the bed, their faces now a darker shade of red.

Snickers came from around the room and Sasuke noticed it wasn't just his brother in his room, but Kakashi, Iruka and Kyuubi were there too. He narrowed his eyes at the blonde. "Why were you in my bed?!"

Naruto glanced away, avoiding Sasuke's gaze. "I climbed in as a fox to try and wake you up, you were having a nightmare." He then gave him a small glare, his cheeks still tinted pink. "But I got too close and you trapped me there. You seemed to calm down though, so I just fell asleep."

"You know," Iruka started through a fit of giggles at the boys' situation. "Naruto probably transformed into his human form while he was asleep, being too hot as a fox."

Both Naruto and Sasuke stared at Iruka before turning back to each other and glaring.

Before either could say anything, Kakashi cleared his throat, the room giving him their attention. "So for training today, Fugaku will be joining us. He wants to get a feel of how these training sessions go."

"Yes," Itachi spoke up, stepping away from the bed. "So we have to make sure we remember that we are all human." He gave pointed glances to Kyuubi and Iruka who both nodded in return. "And when Father is nearby, Naruto," this time his gaze landed on the blonde. "You must remain in your fox form."

"Agreed." Everyone but Sasuke chimed in. Everyone glanced at the raven, who was brooding to himself. He looked up to see all eyes on him. He silently nodded his agreement.

"Alright, let's get ready for the day! We'll meet at the training grounds." Kakashi exclaimed with a clap of his hands. The group separated, each heading to their room.

After getting ready, Sasuke picked up the cage after Naruto got in, making himself comfy. The two agreed without argument, that Naruto should stay in his fox form until they can safely believe they won't run into Fugaku. Though Sasuke was suspicious that Naruto only wanted to be carried around.

Sasuke began the trek towards the training grounds. Heading to the stairs, he ran into his father. As he got closer, his father's smirk seemed to grow bigger. The man stopped after passing the stairs, waiting for Sasuke to reach him.

"Sasuke, heading to the training grounds?" His voice was booming.

Sasuke stopped just in front of his father. "Yes, father."

"Good, good." He eyed his son carefully. He hummed loudly causing Sasuke to raise an eyebrow. "How's the relationship between Itachi and that red-head, Kyuubi?"

Athe the mention of their names, Sasuke's eyes widened briefly and he glanced away from his father quickly. He shifted his weight to his other foot.

Fugaku took notice of the immediate change in Sasuke's behavior and he mentally smirked. He knew it. He has Sasuke exactly where he wants him.

Sasuke cleared his throat before standing up straighter, giving his father a nonchalant look. "I haven't known Kyuubi for too long. I can't give my proper opinion on the man."

Fugaku narrowed his eyes slightly. "I just don't see what type of gain Itachi can get from marrying this man. He's not from a prestigious family, he can't give him kids, and he doesn't even own any land."
