Demon of My Dreams (ReVamped)

Chapter 16

A week had passed quickly. Iruka running them through rigorous training everyday. Itachi had easily grasped copying the spells that Kyuubi and Naruto had learned. Sasuke, with his lesser sharingan, was still having some difficulties.

With the training, Naruto was able to practice his own magic, improving greatly and receiving praise. Kyuubi couldn't help but to feel jealous as Naruto's skills improved while he felt he made barely any progress at all.

Kyuubi huffed as he dropped to the ground, legs crossed underneath him. He couldn't grasp the concept of the current spell Iruka had taught him and he was getting frustrated. He let out a groan, rubbing at his temples.

Itachi made his way over to the red-head who was on the ground, an eyebrow raised. He stopped in front of him and held his hand out. Kyuubi took it and pulled himself up. "So, what's up with you? You've been acting off for a couple days now."

Kyuubi brushed himself off before looking up at him and shaking his head. "Don't worry about it, it's nothing." He finished with a sigh.

Itachi carefully looked him over before taking a step closer, wrapping his arms around Kyuubi and pulling him to his chest. "Hey," the raven gently grabbed onto Kyuubi's chin, tilting his head up. He gently ran his thumb over the soft skin. "I'm here for you, you can tell me."

Kyuubi felt himself blush at the intimate moment, his body relaxing into Itachi's hold. He sighed. "I'm feeling kind of, jealous. Towards Naruto. He's just improving so much and I'm just lagging behind, getting nowhere."

Itachi let out a chuckle. "Is that it?" He slowly pulled Kyuubi away from him, looking him in the eyes. He gave him a smirk. "You do know, you're not making much progress because you were already a prodigy. Naruto unfortunately isn't as skilled as you, so having this training seems like he's doing amazing, which he is, but you already know all this. You're working on the hard stuff, stuff Naruto won't be learning anytime soon. You are exactly where you need to be."

Kyuubi let out a small laugh, feeling relieved. "You know, I never thought of it that way, but you're right. I was always better with magic than he was."

Itachi just smirked in response, feeling a sense of pride that he easily cheered up the red- head. Without warning, he grabbed Kyuubi's waist, yanking him closer to himself before capturing plump lips in his own.

Kyuubi's eyes widened in surprise before they slowly closed and he began to kiss the raven back. He felt a nip at his bottom lip and he allowed Itachi's tongue entrance into his mouth, letting out a small moan.

A cough interrupted the pair and they pulled away and looked to see Fugaku, Iruka and Kakashi standing not too far away from them. "Don't let our presence stop you two from getting it on." The silver-haired man commented, snickering.

Iruka's eyes widened at the comment as Fugaku just frowned. "Kakashi!" Iruka screeched. "Don't say such crude things in front of the king!"

Fugaku ignored the two, his eyes narrowed as he scrutinized the red-head.

"Let's get back to our training." Iruka said after finishing his scolding of Kakashi.

Itachi nodded once before grabbing onto Kyuubi's wrist. He was about to follow Iruka when Fugaku stopped them.

With dark eyes still narrowed, he took a step closer towards his son and Kyuubi. "Actually, I'd like to speak with Kyuubi. Alone."

Kyuubi froze, a feeling of dread and unease overtaking him. He felt the warm breath of Itachi against his ear. "Don't worry, just remember, Naruto and the Nine-Tails are two separate entities to him." Itachi whispered into Kyuubi's ear, out of earshot of the three men in front of them. He placed a small kiss against his temple before following Iruka and Kakashi back to the training area.
