Chapter 2 Lust

Dinner time. Sasuke makes it in time to join Yukimura, Sanada Jyuyushi, and Akira to eat together. Tonight's menu is a pot of mountain bear soup again.

"Everyone, thanks for the dinner. The soup's very delicious, like the one we have at Onmyouden back then." Akira speaks after the meal.

"Thank you, Akira-san. My soup always has the best taste all the time." Kamanosuke looked proud of his cook.

"Yeah, yeah, you can say that. But eating this everyday would eventually change its taste on our tongue." Jinpachi replies Kamanosuke.

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

"Well, in short, we're kinda bored of this soup. Don't you have any other recipes?"

"What did you say?! You should be grateful you're still able to eat at this lack-of-food-source-mountain, beard-breeder!"

"What…?!"

"There, there, Kamanosuke, Jinpachi, stop it already. We have a guest here. Anyway, Akira-san is going to stay with us at least for 3 days. Akira-san and I have some businesses to discuss on. So, he'll stay here until we've done."

"That would be nice Yukimura-sama; it's been a long time since we have a guest. Please, stay as long as you wish, Akira-san!" Kosuke looked welcome to Akira's staying.

"Yes, that would be great! If you don't mind, you could help us beating some bears!" Kamanosuke speaks loudly.

"Well, I don't mind doing that. But it'd be better if Tokito is the one who'll do it."

"Tokito…? Oh my! She's still on the outside! I forgot inviting her in!" Yukimura looked shocked remembering Tokito has been staying outside since the morning until now without a single food filling her stomach.

"Nah, don't bother, Yukimura-san. She can take care of herself." Akira speaks coldly, as cold as his heart.

"But Akira-san, there's nothing that could be eaten outside. Beside, what surrounding this house are trees, not a familiar scene for a high-class-raised girl like her. Sasuke, please go outside and give her these foods."

"Wha—Why me??"

"Ne, Sasuke. Though her age is much older than you, but her appearance is about the same around your age, maybe 14 or 15. I want you to talk to her, accompany her if needed. Afterall, she's our guest too, right?"

"But, Yukimura…!"

"I'm counting on you, Sasuke!" Yukimura smiles to him. A sweet smile that no one can ever resist, including Sasuke.

"Ugh… Damn it Yukimura!" Sasuke grumbles while taking the food and then goes outside.

Then Sasuke sees her outside the house of Sanada. There, Tokito sits down on the ground, resting his back on a massive old tree. Sasuke notices that Tokito still wears the same clothes she used to wear back then. A long sleeve purple kimono and a purple short, too. She carries a little sword on her waist. It's Muramasa's last sword, Kodaichi the Guardian. From his point of view, Sasuke can see that Tokito's feeling cold. She embraces himself and quivers a bit. She bit the bottom of her own lip.

"Hmm… Hungry and feeling cold… Well, I think I can do this." Sasuke then assuring himself to do what Yukimura had told him. He walks slowly toward Tokito's place.

"Hi there. You're Tokito, aren't you?"

"What do you want?"

"I'm bringing you some foods. You looked hungry."

"I... I don't need that!"

"Well, you can say that. But I can see your pale face and that quivers. You're hungry and feeling cold. If you don't mind, I can make a campfire here too."

"As I said before, I don't need that! Just go and leave me alone!"

"Tch, I'm being nice here to offer you some help. If you don't want to eat, you can just stay here and rot, because Akira's going to stay here at least for 3 days."

"What?! Damn it!"

Sasuke then put the food beside Tokito.

"That's up to you eating that food or not. Now I'm going to search some branches to make a campfire here."

Then, he goes to the deep of the trees. Tokito looks at Sasuke's back and then she thinks for a while. She makes her decision and starts to eat the food given by Sasuke. After collecting enough branches, Sasuke goes back to Tokito's place where she used to sit. Sasuke smirks seeing Tokito is eating the food.

"Give up already?" Sasuke's voice actually surprising Tokito.

"Uhm… I haven't defeated Akira yet. So I can't rot here yet."

"Hahaha, what an excuse…"

"What do you mean?" Tokito's annoyed with the laughter.

"Nothing in particular. Now you may continue eating that soup. I'll make a campfire here, so you won't catch a cold."

"… Thanks."

After setting up a campfire, Sasuke sits down and tries to warm himself. Tonight the weather is much colder than usual. Maybe because the winter will come soon, he doesn't know. Sasuke watches her as she eats. Sasuke can't help it but watches Tokito's appearance too. He likes Tokito's hair which suits her eyes, golden eyes like the one he has. And then he looks at her body. "Hmm… somehow she has an ideal body… Not too small." After seeing her body, Sasuke's golden eyes shift down to look at her exposed thigh due to the shorts she wears. "Hmm… This part is also nice… Wait a minute…! What am I thinking?!" Sasuke's shaking his head a bit.

Probably because he's seen a girl again after a while (almost three years since he last met Yuya. But then again, when he met Yuya he's still a kid and didn't think stuffs like that) and he's already 15, the teen side of his mind starts fluctuating.

Sasuke diverts his sight from Tokito's thigh, doesn't want she realize what he's been staring at. He looks up again and surprisingly his eyes meet with Tokito's. Sasuke blushes and turns his head away, avoiding an eye contact. "Oh shit... She'll call me a pervert from now."

"You… What's your name? Sorry I forget it." Tokito's tone is soft, very different from her usual one. She's smiling to Sasuke too. "That's weird…"

"I-I'm Sasuke." Sasuke's still unsure if she's mad or not with him.

"Sasuke… What a cute name for a brat like you… Hehehe…"

"Sh-Shut up…!" Well, at least she doesn't mad.

"Anyway, thanks for the food and the fire. You're really kind."

"No problem…"

Sasuke curses himself. He doesn't know why his heart is racing just to talk to her. Moreover, she's staring at him with a smile on her face. Sasuke droops his head down, doesn't want his blushed cheeks to be seen.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Don't you know when someone is talking to you, you suppose to look at them?"

Sasuke doesn't want to lift his head, he feels very embarrassed right now. "Calm down, Sasuke… What's wrong with you?!" He speaks on his mind, trying to cool down.

"Hmm, your cheeks are turning red. What's going on?" Sasuke shocked and surprised. He doesn't notice Tokito's already in the front of him, kneeling down and holds his chin up. Being face to face with her at a close range, Sasuke's heart is beating even faster. He feels his blood is burning on his face.

"D-don't do that! I almost have a heart attack…!"

"You're so funny, Sasuke. Why is your face turning red? Do you have a fever or what?"

"N-no… I'm not sick. I'm just… Uhm… Well… Let's see… Feeling hot. Yes, that's right! I'm feeling hot! I think this fire is too big…!"

"Really…?"

And then Tokito sits down next to Sasuke.

"That's strange… I'm still feeling cold right now…" Then Tokito shifts closer to Sasuke. Her hand surprisingly grabs Sasuke's arm. Sasuke really can't stand this. His heartbeat, the temperature of his face, and the sensation from her touch… His mind starts to fluctuate again. Many thoughts cross his mind.

"Sasuke, this girl wants to be warmed! What are you waiting for?? Give her one!"a dangerous voice on the back of his head echoes.

"Don't Sasuke! Maybe this girl is trying to seduce you and using you! Don't fall into her trap!"A tiny part of his sanity mind screams to remind him.

"Sasuke…" suddenly when Sasuke is still trying to think clearly, Tokito exhales her breath into his ear, leaving a strange sensation he's never felt before. He shivers slightly, unconsciously enjoying this new sensation.

"W-What is it? D-don't be so close like that!" fortunately (unfortunately?) his sanity mind takes the control for now.

"Sasuke… Don't you hear me…? I'm feeling cold…" again, Tokito speaks on Sasuke's ear while her hand's still grabbing Sasuke's arm.

"T-T-Tokito… W-What do you want…?" but Tokito keeps on grabbing his hand while the other hand travels to Sasuke's face, caressing his cheek. The voice on the back of his head screams again, even louder from before.

"See, Sasuke?? She wants you!! Do what your basic instincts have told you!"

"Don't Sasuke!! She's seducing you. Get away from her!! Now!!"

With this kind of situation, a sane thought will be ignored mostly. And that is happening right now.

Sasuke turns his head to Tokito and leans over to claim her lips. Tokito is a little surprised with his action, but kisses him back instantly. He lays a passionate kiss on her lips. He puts his tongue into her mouth as they both fight to win over the other. However when Sasuke finally catches her tongue, he sucks on it softly. It earns him a moan from Tokito. While they're kissing passionately Sasuke's right hand starts to travel over her body, squeezing her chests gently while the other hand's busy rubbing her back.

A strange sensations spread over throughout his body. He feels an uncomfortable feeling on his groin, like something is about to come out. He can't breathe well because something is pulling out on his chest. The more he kisses and squeezes, the more that pull is heavy and pressuring. But strangely, he can't stop kissing and rubbing though it makes him stuffy. He wants more and more.

Gently, Sasuke pushes her down so that he is on top of her. Now his both hands become wilder than before. The gent squeeze like he did before now turns into a lust squeeze. He slips his hand through her kimono and then starts rubbing and squeezing Tokito's body again. Meanwhile, the other hand's exploring to the new area. Caresses her thigh and squeezes her bottom passionately. Sasuke's mouth now shifts to her neck. He kisses and breathes, sometimes licks along her neck, leaving a tingling sensation. All that Tokito can do now is just moaning, shivering, and sometimes murmuring Sasuke's name receiving these sensations throughout her body from his neck, chests, bottom, until legs from Sasuke's attacks. He's so lost in lust, doesn't care about anything anymore. His lust is drowning him more and more.

And then when Sasuke about wants to do more, a sound elicits from inside the house.

"CRANG" the sound of fallen porcelain plate and then it turns into shards.

"DAMN IT JINPACHI! YOU BROKE ONE AGAIN!!" Kamanosuke's anger voice can be heard from outside.

Hearing that noise, Sasuke is startled. His eyes opened and when he realizes what he is doing, he stops and stands up rashly.

"I-I-I'm really sorry, Tokito…! I didn't mean to do that, I swear. I couldn't control myself… I-I-I—" Sasuke looked panics and stumbles between his own words.

"Ssh…"

Tokito puts his finger on Sasuke's lips. "Calm down…"

Sasuke then tries to control his breath. Breath in, breath out… Breath in, breath out…

"Sasuke, I'm not angry for what you've done to me."

"Really…? That's relieving… Once again, I'm sorry for what just happened. I swear I won't do that again."

"Don't say that Sasuke…"

Tokito then wakes up and stands in the front of him. "Honestly, I was enjoying that moment. And it would be a pleasure if you want to do that again sometimes." Tokito smiles and then turns her back.

"What…? W-What did you just say…?" Sasuke can't believe what he just heard. Well, okay, honestly he's enjoying that too. But the fact that Tokito was also enjoying that is out from his expectation.

"You heard me, didn't you? By the way, I'm going to sleep now. It's already late at night, don't you agree?"

"Ah, you're right. It's already late… Wait, you don't sleep outside, do you?"

"I'm sleeping outside, Sasuke. I don't want to go inside."

"But, you'll be cold outside! Let's go inside, maybe there's a room that you can use."

"If that's the case, can I use your room?" Tokito's showing her naughty smile.

"Well, yeah, maybe… I don't know… If you don't mind sharing a bed with me…"

"In your dream, boy! I'm just teasing you by now. Hahaha…"

"Sh-Shut up! I-I don't mean that way!"

"Hahaha… By the way, thanks for your offering. But I prefer to sleep outside. Goodnight, pervert boy."

"Well, if that's what you want. Goodnight too Mrs. happy-to-be-perverted!"

And then Sasuke's going inside the Sanada house.

"Look who is coming. Sasuke, what took you so long?" Yukimura greets his young shinobi when he passes the 'sake' room. There, Yukimura's drinking 3 bottles of sake at least.

"Nothing. You said that I must accompany her. So I'd been accompanying her until she's fallen asleep just now."

"Oh… You're so kind, Sasuke."

"I'm just doing my task. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to sleep. I'm very tired today."

"Of course not. Go ahead… Good night, Sasuke."

"Night, Yukimura."

Sasuke's going to his own room and lays his body on the bed. He's thinking what he has done to Tokito. It feels so good, that he himself actually wants to do that again and of course, do more if Jinpachi didn't break that plate. "If I have a chance to do that once again, I won't thwart that chance…" He speaks on his mind and then a smile appears on his face. Not long after that he's fallen asleep…
