Blue eyes stared into gold as the two men glared over the field of battle, their wills clashing. With a twitch, a long fingered hand reached out and moved a pawn, drawing a soft laugh from the other man.

“Nice move,” the man drawled slowly as he captured the pawn, losing his tower soon after to the blonds bishop. “Very nice move,” he continued, sitting back in his seat as he contemplated the chess board before him. If you had told him a year ago that he would be sitting in his personal study, playing chest with the Kyuubis holder, he would have happily killed you and gone on with his day. Though, it was quite true. He was playing chess with Naruto and Pien rather liked it. Loved it rather, at least to a point.

Shifting in his chair, Naruto idly played with the thin band on his wrists as he thought back over his past.

Naruto had been picked up after a particularly nasty fight with Sasuke and his team, leaving him and the two others that had been with the blond hurt and trying to get up. A few of his people had taken the chance to grab the Kyuubi holder, taking him back to where they were currently. Three months after that, no one had come, there was no hint of anyone coming ever and Naruto had settled into being watched over and wearing chakra cuffs pretty well, surprising them all.

Four months after he had been kidnapped, he had shown an interest in board games, admitting that no one had taken the time to expalin them to him well enough to play. Pien had decided that he needed to learn something to keep him out of everyones hair and had started to teach him everything from Chinese Checkers up to Go.

The blond showed a surprising aptitude for them.

From then on, nearly a year later, Naruto and Pein would get together when they could and play a game of this or that, always trying to outdo the other in some way or another. It was amusing as to how they were able to work so well with one another considering when Naruto had first arrived he had threatened to kill the other man. Now he just killed him in the games.

“So, how was the spar?” Pien asked lowly as he finally moved his other tower, watching Naruto play with one of the lost pieces.

“It was fine. Considering I never realized just how much I relied upon chakra to give me that extra boost, doing this with so little is a little harder,” Naruto hummed, moving another piece, watching it die before taking that piece. “But it gives me better muscle mass and structure. I think I look more like my father when he was a teen now days.”

“I have seen pictures of the man and you do,” the other male hummed, the two falling silent as the game progressed. Soon a winner was declared, making Naruto smile smugly as he slid into his lovers lap, the sounds of soft music floating from another room to surround them.

“So, what do I win?” he asked, brushing their lips together with a soft smile. Pien laughed lowly and pulled his lover closer, stealing a kiss before standing up and leading the other into their bedroom.

Something else that had been unplanned, a rather pleasant surprise, was them falling into bed with one another. Naruto was far from a virgin, having lost that during his travels with Jiraya, but he had still been so shy it had made his lover smile and treat him like fragile glass. At least until the two had been separated by Pien going on a mission for two weeks and then coming back to screw the blond until he couldn’t walk, think or do much more then twitch and mewl for more.

After that, they had fallen into a comfortable pattern of life, the chakra sealers being slowly loosened so that the coils had time to get used to having the chakra flowing through them once more.

“I think I can pull out the toys,” Pien purred, making Naruto whimper at the thought.

Oh yes, comfortable indeed. Life was so much better, even though he had a cackling fox in the back of his head.
