Married to a WHAT?!

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

The next few days passed relatively normally with Naruto barely coping with classes and Sasuke helping him out. Neither of them was ready for a sudden call from Itachi.

"It's rare for you to call."

"Sorry Sasuke, I wish I could call you with better news more often. However this is an emergency. I've had a call from the fire department saying your apartment is burned down. It was a good thing neither of you were there. Kurama said it was no ordinary fire, we suspect an attack from Hagoromo Gitsune."

The sophomore froze. An attack when they least expected it... "What should we do now?"

"What's wrong Sasuke?" the fox sensed a distraught vibe from his lover and immediately went over to entwine their fingers.

"For now you should wait at school Kurama is making arrangements. I'll text you details so keep your phone close."

The older Uchiha hung up so abruptly that left Sasuke's mind reeling from the news. His apartment was burned and they were targeted.

"Sasuke?"

Looking into clear blue eyes, the younger Uchiha finally caved to the mental exhaustion. Slumping into his lover's arms, he inhaled deeply the scent he had gotten so accustomed to.

"Please, just let me stay like this for a while."

Without questioning Sasuke, Naruto held him closer and settled for toying with the raven locks. It wasn't until a crowd began to form around the hottest gay couple on campus that Naruto pulled Sasuke to a more private place.

For a good twenty minutes Sasuke said nothing and Naruto didn't pry, only patiently waiting for the young Uchiha to collect his emotions.

"Hagoromo Gitsune is on the move again. The apartment has been burned down," Sasuke whispered in a hoarse voice as if he was about to cry.

Without showing his panic, Naruto nodded. "Don't worry about it, Kurama will have something thought up. I won't let anything bad happen to you. It's a good thing we were at school when it happened too. Does Itachi know?"

Sasuke nodded. "He was the one who called me earlier. We'll have to wait in school for a while. He'll let me know where to go to in a while."

Speak of the devil and he will come. Sasuke phone vibrated in his pocket and the young Uchiha read the text. A frown marred his immaculate features.

"What did it say?" the fox asked while trying to sneak a peek.

"He just says to stay where we are. Someone is coming to get us?"

Naruto raised a brow at the vagueness. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Shrugging, Sasuke put the phone back into the pocket. The moment the phone was tucked away safely the air shifted. Naruto quickly got into a fighting stance in front of his human lover when Kakashi materialized.

"Chill kit! I'm only here to fetch you. Kurama informed me of what happened. From today until Hagoromo is taken care of, the both of you will be under the protection of the wolf clan."

Naruto smiled. Sasuke cocked his head to a side. "Yo!" The silver haired werewolf greeted.

The blond fox beamed. "Sasuke meet Kakashi, my adoptive father of sorts. Kakashi, this is Sasuke – my mate."

The wolf bent down to take a closer look at the bite mark. "Looks new," he commented and Naruto grinned proudly.

"Well, it hasn't even been a week to be honest..." the blond couldn't complete the sentence as a red faced Sasuke smacked his lover upside the head.
