Pairing: Kurama (Shuichi Minamino) X afab!Reader

Sypnosis: Every day, Shuichi visits and brings her flowers. He was her ideal boyfriend, yet, she knew that they would be nothing more than just friends. However, a certain visit from him proved her otherwise.

Word Count: 930

"Lalala~ Hmmmm~" You hummed while watering your precious garden. Your garden had plenty of flowers, a few herbs and shrubs, and one sakura tree. Every day, a certain redhead gives you different kinds of flowers as a gift. You loved the redhead, he was kind, polite, and most of all, handsome. Shuichi Minamino, your ideal boyfriend. You wished that the redhead was your boyfriend, but he is nothing more than a best friend. Well, that's what you always thought. Though, a certain brunette told you that Shuichi had fallen for you, which you actually didn't believe. But there is a possibility, is there?

"I hope Shuichi would visit me today..." You mumbled to yourself, pouting a bit. You are living alone, both of your parents were working abroad. And Shuichi always visits you at your place to keep you company, which is why you are always expecting him to come. After you finished watering the flowers, you wipe away the sweat on your face then place the water bucket back in its place. You smile to yourself while admiring your finished work. "Might as well as clean myself" You stated then entered the house. You removed your gardening clothes and then headed to the bathroom.

You entered inside and then locked the door. You strip all of your dirty clothes then put them inside the hamper. You step inside the shower and then turn it on. "Hmmmm~ I wonder what kind of flower Shuichi will give me today~" You wondered while thoroughly cleaning your body. After showering, you exit the bathroom with your bathrobe and then head towards your room. Once you enter inside, you search for a clean dress in your closet. You got out a [f/c] Chinese dress that reaches your ankle, it is strapless, covers your neck, and has a slip from the end up to your knee. You dried your [h/c] hair using a hair blower and then tied it into [f/h]. You put on some powder and a lip gloss. "Shuichi will be here any moment now," You said, putting the lip gloss down on your table.

Just after you finished, there was a knock on the door. "Coming!" You yelled while hurrying down the stairs. When you arrived in front of the door, you opened it quickly with glee. Standing outside your door revealed a handsome young man with crimson hair and emerald eyes. "This is for you, milady" He gave you a bouquet of several different flowers. "Thank you" You accepted the gift and then smelled the fragrant flowers. "Come in" You step aside for him to enter. Once he was inside, you unwrapped the bouquet and placed the bundle of flowers in a large vase filled with water. Shuichi sat on the couch and admired your features, he had to admit, you look gorgeous in that dress.

"I'll make some tea, Shuichi. Please stay here for a while" You informed him as you entered the kitchen, your dress trailing behind. "Take your time, [Name]" Shuichi replied. While waiting for you, the redhead played with his signature rose. "My love is sweet as the rose..." He muttered, smiling to himself. "Here" A cup of tea was placed on the coffee table in front of the redhead, he snapped out from his gaze and then smiled at you. "You're welcome" You understood what his smile meant and then smiled back, sitting next to him. "Hey, Shuichi" You called, tugging on his sleeve a bit. "Yes?" He looked at you after he took a sip of his tea. "Care for some quotes that I made?" You asked, eyes pleading for him to say yes. "Of course" He chuckled then placed the cup down.

"Okay, here it is" You took a deep breath then straightened your posture. "Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine to the soul" Shuichi smiled at your first quote. The flowers that surround your place inspired you to make quotes about it, and he is proud of you because of that. "Flowers are the music of the ground. From earth's lips spoken without sound," There comes the second one. "Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature" The third. "Love is the flower you've got to let grow" This one earns the redhead's attention. "Life is a flower, so precious in your hand" This one is about life. "A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love" is another one that earns his attention.

"Really [Name]?" He smiled. "I don't know, I just thought about it" You shrugged. He referred the question to your 6th quote. He just smiled. "The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart" You continued, eyes closed while reciting the quote. You personally love this quote, and a certain green-eyed male started a liking to it too. "Well, that's it! Do you like it?" You said, turning your attention to him. He is awestruck, you can say that he liked your quotes very much. "That was wonderful, [Name]" He complimented. "Thanks" You blushed at his compliment. "But you know..." He said, earning your full attention. "My love is sweet as the rose" He stated. He looked at you and locked eyes with yours for a while, you could melt under his beautiful gaze. You didn't also realize that your face is only an inch apart from him, before slowly leaning in. Both of your lips touched and you stayed like that for a while, kissing your beloved future boyfriend.

Bloom (Youko Kurama)

TAGS: Youko/Dragoness!reader, pet names, cunnilingus, breeding, oneshot Ao3 ver. | Ko-fi | Commissions (OPEN)

“Such a pretty little flower you have here, my dear...It’s even oozing such lascivious nectar. My, my...how lewd...”

 “Nooo! Don’t look at it!!!”

“How can I not look when it’s twitching so desperately? I think the best way to make this flower bloom its most beautiful is to fertilize it. Don’t you think so?”

“Y-Youko…!”

The fox yokai only smirks in response as one of his demonic flora holds you in place with its vines, your prone naked body lifted several feet off the ground with your arms and legs spread wide. This position allowed nothing to be hidden from his view, just how he liked it.

A long finger rubs against the weeping slit, nodding in satisfaction at the abundant honey that dripped and easily coated his digit before licking it off, unwilling to allow it to go to waste when you worked so hard to produce it just for him. He enjoys the taste as much as the sight of you trembling in embarrassment as his tongue slowly laps up the fluids from his fingers.

“We can’t allow even a drop of this precious nectar to go to waste when it’s a delicacy,” he explains, placing his large hands onto your inner thighs as his thumbs land on the fleshy lips of your cunt in order to spread them wide and reveal the tender pink hole inside. “That is why I have brought it upon myself to make use of this precious commodity.”

Your protests die in your throat when the silver-haired fox proceeds to feast on your pussy like a man starved, lapping up the dripping slick before pressing his face into your twitching lips and sticking his tongue inside. Thighs trembling, you are powerless to do anything as Youko repeatedly shoved his tongue as far as it could go, scraping at the spongy walls as he swallowed down your nectar with gusto. The knot inside your lower stomach tightens impossibly with each second that passes at the mercy of the bandit until it snaps, crying out his name as he practically sucks your soul out of your body.

“Thank you for the meal, little Snapdragon. Such fine nectar you secrete…”

As much as he wanted to eat you forever, there were more pressing matters to attend to. Namely, his loins which painfully poked at his trousers in an effort to be released from their prison, eager to sink into the velvety soft heat of your warm, delicious cunt. Due to the both of you being attuned to your animalistic natures, him being a fox and you being a dragon, it was no wonder Youko was all the more aware of the heady mix of your arousal and his own in the air. Having his nose so close to your precious flower allowed him to smell the full force of your scent, enticing his body to release the long restrained urge to mate and knot a fertile female and have her bear his kits.

“...But I believe it is time for us to begin the main course” 

Youko resisted the urge to purr as his vines began moving your body and setting it into the appropriate position with your chest pressed down against the piles of downy fur he’d skinned from his many successful hunts while you were propped up on your knees with legs spread wide. There was no way he was allowing the future mother of his kits to be taken roughly against the abrasive stone ground of your cave dwelling. From your scent alone he could easily tell that you were still pure, untouched by any other male which made him all the more adamant about making your first time one to remember fondly.

The rumble of his chest vibrated against your smaller back as he draped his larger body over your own, the action seemingly comforting you and yet urging you to submit at the same time. You could feel the hot and heavy cock that rubbed against your lower lips, going back and forth as it coated itself in your slick while his large hands gripped your plush waist.

“Sing for me, my pretty little flower”

A lusty moan escapes your lips when the fat head of his cock pierces into your untouched pussy, each gratifying inch slipping inside the unexplored territory until only the heavy sacs that hung below his proud length were left. There is a twinge of pain as your maidenhead was taken, but nothing your body can’t handle. Rather, your body responds enthusiastically to the intrusion, your cunt clamping down on the thick organ that spreads it wide open. 

Kurama hissed at the moist sheath that seemed to happily welcome his member, nose flaring as the scent of your virgin’s blood and arousal mixed into a potent and heady mix that had him hammering into your pussy once he was sure you had adjusted to him.

The fox and the dragon continue to mate within the confines of their sealed den for the next several days, unwilling to part from each other until the male was absolutely sure that he had successfully flooded your womb with his seed and ensured the future of his lineage. Once he’d confirmed your condition, Kurama happily spent the next several days in yet another hedonistic frenzy of mating as a way to celebrate the happy event in your lives.

You had to threaten Youko to give you a break or else you’d ban him from touching you for a century.

Safe to say, he did heed your warning and finally allowed you to walk out of your den, but he made sure to hover protectively behind you all the time. Unwilling to allow any other male to get ideas about his mate.

You simply thought it was adorable.

Minato & Kushina: A "Deep Dive" Analysis (Section A, Part II)

Last post we examined Kushina as Minato's rock. Today we will examine Minato as Kushina's.

(Section A) II. Minato as Kushina's anchor

To bridge into this, I want to linger on the hair-strength metaphor we established just a bit longer. For even before Kurama enters the picture we had a foreshadowing of love vs. hate. Both ends are symbolized in this same metaphor: because it was a source of her shunning, Kushina hated her hair; until it “brought” her Minato, where she began to like it.

[The red thread of fate is a real-world East Asian myth. An invisible red cord is tied around the finger of a boy and girl ‘destined’ to meet, fall in love and marry. The cord may stretch, pull, twist and tangle, but it never breaks. Interestingly, from the moment Minato saves her, Kushina never seems to cut her hair…]

Now on a thematic note, I've color-coded key aspects of their relationship blue (like the Rasengan in the anime, which we'll discuss later), for orange will be for Naruto.

This dual-way faith entwines the Hokageship and their marriage long before either happens. In other words, Kushina is wholly devoted to Minato, sharing his dream for the future. How do we know this? She determinedly decided that she’d “be the wife of the Fourth Hokage.”

When rescuing her from the Cloud captors, Minato wins Kushina’s reverence and faith. Reverence for his skills as a ninja, and even more so for his devotion to all the village: he came to save her, the outsider, calling her “one of us.” In this rescue, he gains her dual-way faith: that he would one day become Hokage; and that he could “make all of [her] dreams come true.”

Now there is a misinterpretation plaguing the fanbase that Kushina ‘gave up her own dream of being Hokage so that Minato could fulfil his.’ Friends, this couldn’t be further from the truth. It comes from a complete misreading of her character. Her statement of becoming the “first female Hokage” came from a reason she herself explains, and while it (very much) parallels Naruto’s she is not once shown chasing Hokageship.

(We will touch on this further in a later post.)

When Kushina realized her decision to “be the wife of the Fourth Hokage” is up to speculation. The Whorl Within the Spiral however – if not precisely – gets us pretty damn close.

Recall first, with the conjunction “so” (chapter: The Birth of Naruto) from our panel two screenshots above, that she names Mito and Hashirama’s marriage as influential. Before Kurama’s transfer, Mito takes Kushina to look at the Hokage rock-faces. They gaze up at Hashirama’s, and Kushina learns he is the love “inside [Mito’s] vessel.”

Which brings us to the ‘vessel’ motif. As Kurama’s jinchūriki, Kushina is a vessel for the embodiment of hatred. To overcome the hatred – that is, Kurama’s essence – and live happily, she must fill her OWN ‘vessel’ with love. This motif is repeated through the same flashback occurring in both the main manga and oneshot, the screen below being from The Birth of Naruto as introduced for the first time:

In Gaiden’s ending, Kushina is standing where Mito stood, looking at Minato’s face; Minato being, as Hashirama was for Mito, the love inside her vessel. Minato is angled exactly where his face will one day be carved in the rock. A direct shot from Kushina’s viewpoint, the panel implicates that she resolutely believes he will become the next Hokage, and, now knowing her vessel full with his love, she will one day be his wife.

Let us now consider how Minato’s love enables Kushina to overcome.

First, the words that trigger her seal to break, which leads into his confession. The trigger itself, ironically, is an implicit statement of love. (Not simply or specifically romantic love, but one of protective devotion.) Minato tells Kushina about the jutsu he’s been creating (oh we’ll get to this gem later) for her to protect her. He reveals, in other words, that she’s tremendously precious to him and keeping her safe is his top priority.

Do these words sound familiar? To the anime-watcher they should. They’re the exact words Minato told Kushina the day she fell in love with him.

The repetition is immensely important for it is Kushina’s moment of realization, in the sense of her faith and hope in Minato being proven true (a faith and hope so strong she crossed the safety of the sealing barrier to go to him, resisting Kurama’s taunts and threats with “But I’ve got... [Minato]”). Not just the realization that Minato cares for her so deeply that he will create an A-class jutsu for her, but the realization that Minato has cared so deeply for her this entire time. His protection, she realizes, is unwavering; it is a protection that endures. And so, in perfect contrast, this realization sits framed between Kurama’s tauntings on trust.

The first time Minato said, “I didn’t want to lose you,” Kushina was the outsider brought into his circle of precious people. Now the context is far more intimate, and Kushina is overwhelmed with what it means. Kurama has been provoking her despair and loneliness day after day. Saying that everybody is out to use her – a reality echoed in Minato’s own words prior (panel below). The village is out to use her – she’s its trump card in war. But Minato is not, putting his every possible effort toward her wellbeing.

So when Kushina hears this she is overcome with emotion. And with her vulnerable outside the barrier, Kurama takes the opening.

It may be worth mention (though this is me speculating) that something similar happens during Naruto’s birth. Kushina’s seal weakening is explained in the physical: while she is pregnant, her chakra that would support it is divided and diverted to growing the baby. Childbirth is also specified as the time a jinchūriki’s seal “can come completely undone.” But the exhilaration of becoming a mom playing a role in its breaking strikes an interesting parallel. In both situations, the seal is already weakened: one in her leaving the barrier to see Minato; the other for Naruto’s nourishment. Both weakenings are in themselves driven by Kushina’s love: one romantic; the other maternal. In both, Minato strenuously keeps the seal in check, the fight being driven by Minato’s love. And in both, Kurama’s attempted breakout is enabled because of their love: Kushina being emotionally vulnerable due to Minato’s direct declaration; and the literal life-result of their love being ready to leave her womb.

In both situations thus, Minato and Kushina’s love pushes Kurama’s hatred to further retaliate, highlighting a foilism between the couple and Kurama. Just as Kushina and Minato fight his hatred, Kurama fights their love, foreshadowing his eventual redemption through that love passed onto Naruto.

Now back to Gaiden and out of the theory zone. We have a bleeding Minato holding a bijūfying Kushina while augmenting her seal. Which leads to Kurama acknowledging Minato’s skill and strength. Which leads to Kurama asking why Minato would stick with Kushina to the point of risking his life. Which leads to Minato proclaiming with utmost determination that he loves her.

Hearing this, Kushina recalls Mito’s words about filling her vessel, and, realizing her vessel filled, she gains the strength to fight back. Moreover, Minato declares this to Kurama, placing himself in the role of a perfect foil: Minato is the embodiment of love inside Kushina; Kurama the embodiment of hatred.

“Release your sealing hand! This is my human pillar. You are irrelevant.”

“No. You’re wrong.” I can sense it... “I exist inside Kushina at all times!”

And here we are given one of the most striking parallels in the series. Minato’s declaration spurs Kushina to unleash her Chains against Kurama in her seal. The same thing happens – right to the angle – when Kushina appears in Naruto’s seal.

Hugging his mother for the first time, Naruto is overcome with love – under the mirror circumstance of a near-defeat by Kurama. Kushina projects her Chains, her own chakra, through her son, pinning Kurama herself. She then tells Naruto her and Minato’s story, and then, in playful conversation about her hair tells him that she loves him. The significance, recall, is that of “the red thread of fate” – i.e. the unbreakable thread of love that exists between Kushina and Minato.

She tells Naruto he is the second man to ever compliment her hair. Following her recount of genin-Minato calling it beautiful, we get this:

Kushina’s declaration to Naruto being centered around the “red thread of fate” symbolizes her passing to him her and Minato’s love. Upon hearing her words – receiving that love – Naruto gains the strength to defeat Kurama, in precise mirror to Kushina hearing Minato’s confession.

But there’s more. Note the language: “I love you,” “…so happy!!” This is identical to the language Mito employed when telling Kushina to fill her vessel.

And to top it off we have the vessel motif explicitly repeated. The Japanese anime dub (episode: Thank You) emphasizes Naruto as having his “vessel filled with” his mother and father’s love.

During their final moments alive, Kushina will say these words to Minato, reinstating that throughout her whole life with him, his love gave her utter joy. Naruto asks her, “So you were happy, even though you were a jinchūriki, Mom?” To which Kushina replies with a resolute “Yes,” bringing him to tears.

We have examined Kushina as Minato’s anchor, and Minato as Kushina’s anchor. Concluding Section A, we will look at them as each other’s anchors together.

Section A, Part III here.

[viridian-house]

Do you have any favorite naruto fics you’d recommend? Any pairing, complete or not, on-hiatus, gen, oneshots, anything is fine lol

I was legitimately just pruning my bookmarks the other day!! thank you so much for asking.

I don't read too much fanfic these days, and I'm picky when I do--only about grammar/punctuation and immersion though. I ship a LOT of stuff (I guess The Youth would call me a proshipper) and although I never read darkfic, I don't shy away from weirder kinks and unhealthy relationship stuff.

categorizing by pairing, if applicable. some of them are smutty, and please note that the first 3 come from FFN which doesn't have a tagging system, but there is some SA CW I'll give in advance.

KAKASAKU | my first OTP! formative fics that totally reshaped my understanding of what fanfiction could be, and how well-written chemistry can make it or break it

HOUSE OF CROWS is the quintessential kakasaku fanfic. it was written during shippuden and so is canon divergent because of that, but also tells a comprehensive story of its own right that is intriguing and well planned. excellent characterization and world building. leaves me gutted in the best way on my yearly reread.

DUTY BEFORE HONOR is another silvershine classic. I don't reread is as often as House of Crows but they are just about equal in quality. again, the chemistry between them is off the charts, and the world feels so alive.

WILL OF FIRE for me is up there with House of Crows in being essential kakasaku reading. cynchick is a multisaku champion and a wonderful storyteller. the stakes in this one are stressful, the romance tense and believable, and we once again get lovely world building and great chemistry.

ITAKISA | a pairing near and dear to me, because men who do everything wrong are so deeply relatable. they both know they don't deserve anything good ever again but they found each other!!!! ARE YOU GUYS SEEING THIS--

A SHARK HIDDEN INN THE LEAVES doesn't have my favorite version of Kisame, but he's plenty close enough. it's a lengthy oneshot that got me into certain *ahem* kinks. it is a very fun and wild fic that is entirely self-aware of how absurd it's being, and manages to have nothing but sincerity at the same time (and I highly recommend the author's other stories as well)

AN ORCHESTRA PLAYING ON, INSANE is a modern AU (extremely rare in my bookmarks) that absolutely tore my heart out. god is it SO much to ask for these losers to be happy?! yes, it is, and I love every moment of it

MADAMITO | a rarepair I am SUCH a sucker for that has some of the most talented authors writing for it. lots of them have ot3 elements between them and hashirama, often angsty, but stuff like that is part of the appeal for me, lol

A HANDFUL OF SKY is an unfinished fic that I genuinely think about like once a week. if it ever updates then I will be over the moon. technically hashimadamito but it hadn't quite gotten there yet

LIKE ALTARS is just such a beautiful piece of writing, mostly on madara. it is everything, that is all

BLOOD AND RIVER WATER is more mito-centric but has one of my favorite madaras of all time

YOURS ARE RATTLED BONES is another short, mito-centric but gut-wrenching piece featuring the opposite type of madara from the last one

OTHER | character-centric stuff that isn't necessarily shippy but also doesn't have a very "gen" vibe either?

A SERPENT IN THE RICE is a little series about orochimaru that makes me feel so so so many things. highly recommended

HERETIC is such a love letter to kushina, and kurama too. cannot stress enough how much I adore this one

there's a few others that I probably won't link on tumblr, mostly unhealthy and/or "problematic" smut hhfhdj but maybe I'll make a public rec list on ao3 for these different categories and stuff like that.

but yeah that's pretty much it!!! I know it's not a huge list with a lot of variety but it's what I've enjoyed over the last 15+ years in the naruto fandom.

I can’t wait to see if you have any analysis brewing with what happened in the Minato oneshot and perhaps some sns parallel. Idk I’m dumb but when I read mito’s talk with Kushina about love I was very curious to what your thoughts would be!!!

well I think it's easy to see what tropes kishimoto likes in romantic relationships.

the idea that it's okay to break promises/go back on your word when it comes to the one you love...

getting stronger to protect your most precious person, specifically creating jutsu for them and having them as your driving force... assisting each other's strengths and fighting side by side on the battlefield... minato wanted to create a jutsu to correspond with kushina's massive chakra as a jinchuuriki. like how naruto wanted to use his wind to assist sasuke's fire, which is what they ended up doing...

not wanting to lose someone because you love them too much. the idea of living without them is too much to bear so you'd rather die with them instead...

minato saying he likes strong people, especially those stronger than him... sns admire each other's strength (and here and here), and of course sasuke's "you had a strength that I didn't". naruto saying he wanted to be cool and strong like sasuke. they balance each other out...

the idea that love saved mito, love saved kushina, love saved naruto from his hatred of being jinchuuriki. the idea that love can transcend everything. naruto changed sasuke's heart just like sasuke (and iruka) changed naruto's. during vote2 sns shed their fate, they blew off their sun and moon arms, their love overcame what their predecessors couldn't as they reconciled and resolved to work together.

unlocking new powers because of your loved one, like kushina getting the sealing chains, sasuke developing his sharingan for naruto, minato finalising the rasengan and building on kushina's seal, naruto letting the kyuubi loose because of sasuke.

kushina stabbing minato through the chest and telling him to run away to which minato says no he's not gonna leave her because he's always within kushina. sasuke stabbing naruto through the chest and all naruto can think about is how he wanted to be friends with sasuke too much.

kurama referring to kushina as 'my jinchuuriki' and minato rasengan-ing him because kushina is not his. orochimaru saying 'my sasuke' and naruto going feral because sasuke is not orochimaru's. freeing their loved one's from a villain's grasp, because their loved one should not be owned by anyone.

and just more generally, protecting each other, wanting the other to be safe and happy, being relieved when the other is okay, teasing banter between them, just normal stuff which is reciprocated :)

[ayoharuko]

Yooooo! Saw your post about Yu Yu Hakusho and was wondering you would write a hiei x fem reader? Maybe since he's obvs a shy angsty boi could you amke some there where the reader is obvious about their affection towards him and hiei is like super angst and annoyed but really he's like super embarrassed and shy and mclovin the nicknames the reader gives him???

Hellooo anon!, I know its been at least 2 months and I'm very sorry for answering this super late! I was on hiatus and basically was on a break from social media....I'm really sorry.

I hope this makes up for it tho, and I hope you enjoy reading this :)

Reader gender here isn't specific :)

REMINDER: This character does not belong to me but belongs to Yoshihiro Togashi. This is all fictional work so please try not to take this too seriously :)

This will be a in a form of a min oneshot btw~

''I hate you, yet love you''

Hiei hates you.

He finds you annoying and he thinks you're a pest.

You were also human which made the so called 'hate' even worse.

Yet he always finds his way to you....

Whenever his hurt he goes to you, whenever his nightmares gets the best of him he always seeks your comfort and affection.

Hiei didn't understand what he was feeling...so he asked a certain fox about it.

''Hmm...I believe what you are feeling is something humans call 'love'...'' Kurama responded to his friends question.

Love? What a foolish emotion to feel.

What an odd human emotion to feel.

Hiei didn't want to believe it...he was not inlove with a human. Someone who was clearly weaker then him, someone who was bound to hurt him...

In truth Hiei was afraid of this foreign feeling he was feeling....

He was scared

He was scared of getting hurt again.....

He was scared of letting anyone in....

But as you gave him affection and these nicknames that were meant for him, his nonexistent heart seems to beat for you.

His nonexistent heart seems to yearn for you

The way you easily make him blush with every affection and every nickname makes him fall even harder for you....

He wanted you by his side at all times, he wanted to protect you and he wanted to hold hands with you and do all those cringe human couple things they would do.....

But the question was.....

Was he willing to accept love in his life?

Was he willing to accept the risk that he might get hurt?

And the answer was.....

Yes...he was willing to take the risk with you...

He knows his hard to love...

He knows he has a lot to learn...

But he'll learn for you...

To everyone it was obvious that Hiei loved you alot, by the way he looks at you, by the way he protects you from danger and from the way he lets you hug and cling to him.

They all knew that you were Hiei's weakness.

And they were right.....you were Hiei's weakness....

You were his mate till you get tired of him...he was yours to love or mess with....

A dragon mates for life

He was yours and you were his

You were his precious jewel while he was your protector

Protecting you from the shadows and by your side

He hates you, but he loves you too.

The only reason he hated you was all because he was just afraid.

But now his not afraid, his no longer afraid of loving....

With you by his side, he'll continue wanting this life filled with happiness he hasn't felt before.

''Be my mate, and know that I'm not taking no as an answer''

I hope you enjoyed this anon-chan! I'm ver sorry for taking a long time finishing this....but I really hope this makes up for it :)

What did you think of that new Minato oneshot, if you've read it already? I for one, absolutely adored it! I think it had just about everything to make people happy. Cameos from other characters, lore, ladies being awesome, endearing love story... hell, Kishimoto also got to do something for Kurama too--the one character he personally wanted to win the poll!

The one shot was good, it was cool seeing Kushina in a Jinchuuriki mode, and it was funny to be reminded of how awful Minato is at naming things. Thank goodness he took inspiration for Naruto's name from Jiraiya's book, because who knows what kind of absurd name he would have come up with if left to his own imagination, lol.

Alrighty, there was a delay due to personal matters, so rather than the end of last week, I am making my updates today!

"The Bargain" is now marked private for ao3 users. Meanwhile, on dreamwidth, I've posted a new oneshot that's a Naruto x Sakura x Kurama! It's pending approval from the mods, but the premise is:

Temptations

Naruto x Sakura x Kurama

Rated: R

Summary: No matter the time, no matter the place, no matter how their future unfolds, Sakura-chan would always have a very special place in Uzumaki Naruto's heart. Even while separately married with children of their own, Naruto will always love her... so what happens when he finds a vulnerable young Sakura from his past flung into the future, the very version of her during the height in which she'd held his heart and soul?

Tags/Triggers: It's dark. The dreamwidth group is for dark fics specifically, so if that's not your jam, please avoid.

Preview

The trek home didn’t take long and Naruto stopped briefly in front of the large cave in front of him. The entire village was accustomed to his kage bunshin’s running around, so no one batted an eye when he stepped out of the village walls with the excuse of wanting to do one last run of the perimeter before ending the night. Everyone assumed that once he was done, he’d simply disperse the clone.

Well, they weren’t completely wrong in that regard.

Blue eyes flickered red as Naruto approached the cave entrance, taking in the vast cavern and wincing as he felt Kurama prod at him harder. “I know, I know. Calm down, already!”

They were just wrong about which one was the clone.

Naruto inhaled deeply, grinning as he felt Kurama rumble excitedly inside of him as the familiar sweet scent filled him. It was a beautiful scent that had changed over the years as he grew, evolving from an almost cloying sweetness to an alluring temptation and now a refined scent of dignity and maturation.

He smiled tenderly, watching with fond eyes at the figure whose wrists were currently bound by the highest level of seals that kept her chakra tightly restricted. Beneath the rope were also fuinjutsu he’d created himself, adding another layer of shackles that kept her chakra sealed away.

His clone was there as well, cradling her on his lap while running his fingers through her pink locks. Funny, he never realized just how tiny Sakura-chan was at this age compared to their full grown selves. He could easily cover her entire body with his own.

Naruto licked his lips, dismissing the clone before it could start an argument about wanting to stay. His stomach throbbed as Kurama demanded to be let out. “Not now! You'll get your turn!”

He winced at the snarls inside his mind and focused more at the sight of the Sakura-chan in front of him. The one that had somehow been hurled through time to his present, but her future. Based on appearance and what she had shared before he’d knocked her out, she came from before the war, but after he’d returned back to Konoha.

Short pink hair, still chopped haphazardly due to her focus being more on training rather than getting a decent haircut. He remembered his shock at the sight of her trimming her own hair with kunai while Ino lamented that Sakura had regressed to that of a barbarian, befitting that big forehead of hers. But he’d adored that hairstyle, because it was Sakura-chan.

To him, there was no one more perfect.

Naruto frowned at the memories of his clone. Despite having order that he do nothing but protect her and stop her from escaping if she were to wake up too early, his clone, as usual, had been disobedient. There were memories of cuddling the slumbering teenage Sakura in his arms, running his hand through her hair, nuzzling her neck and inhaling deeply….

His scowl deepened.

Shikamaru was right. It just wasn’t the same as doing it himself in person.

“Sakura-chan, I’m sorry for being so rough,” Naruto cooed gently as he approached the still unconscious kunoichi, crouching down in order to lift her up from the ground. He looked around and found the den that his clone had made, having followed the instructions Kurama had given them on creating a proper “home” for their mate.

No, not mate. Naruto had been firm about that. Sakura-chan wasn’t his.

He could still remember Kurama’s cackle.

“Whatever lets you sleep at night, brat.”

Naruto settled down on the soft bed of grass and dirt, cradling Sakura-chan close to him. It was true. Sakura wasn’t his… but this Sakura-chan…

He stroked her cheek, just as his clone had done, and savored the feel of her supple skin against the rough calluses of his hand. Definitely better in person than through a clone.

Even if it was just while she was stuck in the future, this Sakura-chan could be his.
