Hey there! Welcome to chapter 2 of the story. Again, like the first chapter, this is a remake and has been edited recently. Recently as in 3/34/10. Yeah, that's pretty recent considering the last time this story was updated was some time last year. Anyways, enough of me blabbing. ENJOY!
The night passed, along with a horrific nightmare, or so Sai had hoped as sunlight blinded him. But that hope was dashed when a sudden pain jolted through his spine, causing him to hiss through his teeth as he slowly and painfully moved to pick up his discarded clothes, employing every effort to keep his eyes off the unconscious (and thankfully, fully-clothed) Naruto. Slowly limping to the stream, he slowly stepped into the water, eventually submerging himself to rid himself of the dried blood, the other's dried seed…and the feeling of filthiness.
A few feet away, a pair of sapphire-blue eyes snapped open, only to squint at the sudden blinding sunlight. Once his eyes adjusted, he rose, only to find himself not at the camp with Sakura and Kakashi.
"How'd I get out here?" he asked himself. Turning his head, he caught sight of Sai drying himself by a stream.
"Hey, Sai!" he shouted to the other boy, who responded with his usual smile and a wave. The blonde ran over and sat next to the brunet, who flinched ever so slightly at the closeness.
"Hello, Naruto-kun," he said almost in a whisper, not able to bring himself to keep eye contact with the blonde, who didn't seem to notice.
"So, what are we doing out here?"
Sai's eyes widened. How was he to answer that? Thinking quickly, he plastered that fake smile again.
"You do not remember? You have such poor memory. You were trying to climb that tree, but you were exhausted, passed out, then fell on your head. Not only are you dickless, but you're a pathetic excuse of a ninja."
"WHAT?! ALL YOU DO IS DRAW PICTURES THAT COME TO LIFE THAT ARE NOTHING SPECIAL ANYWAY!"
"Just like your dick."
"SAY THAT AGAIN—!"
"There you are," said Sakura, cutting off Naruto's ranting as she approached her teammates. "What're you guys doing?"
"Nothing much," Naruto answered. "Just telling Sai how better I am as a ninja," he said proudly, puffing his chest out.
"I wonder," Sai joked, though only Sakura laughed.
"Well, Kakashi-sensei's on his way now. Pack your stuff so we can get going."
With that, the three of them headed back to camp.
"Where is Kakashi, anyway?" Naruto asked as they finished packing.
Sakura looked around. Not seeing their sensei, she sighed exasperatedly. "I'll go get him."
"Hold your horses. I'm right here," Kakashi said, suddenly appearing from within the forest.
"There you are! We would have been going in circles trying to find you if you didn't come along," Naruto shouted at the man, who ignored it.
"Everybody's here, so let's be on our way."
"Do you suppose we could travel on ground?" Sai piped up. After last night, he knew he could hardly run, much less jump through trees.
He noticed the others looking at him questioningly. "I'm…still a little tired from yesterday," he lied. Much to his relief, Kakashi merely shrugged, leading the way by ground.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was an uneventful two-hour journey before they reached the Land of Tea, where they were given rooms at a hotel that contained an onsen.
"Please enjoy your stay. The onsen are out the door and to your left. They will be available to until the end of your stay. Feel free to use them to your liking." The man bowed and left, leaving the squad to relax until their mission began.
Sakura stood and walked over to the corner of the room, gathering her belongings. "Well, I'm off to the bathhouse," Sakura said brightly before heading to the women's bathhouse. Kakashi left the room as well, only without explanation, leaving Naruto and Sai alone. Feeling uncomfortable, Sai suggested that they too go to the bathhouse.
"Yeah, let's go," Naruto agreed before they gathered their clothes. Walking side-by-side, they reached the men's bathhouse, where they noticed two things as they shed their clothes: the fogginess and the lack of people.
"That's weird," Naruto observed. "Usually, these places are crowded. Oh well, more springs for us!" he exclaimed before jumping into the water, splashing Sai a little in the process. For his part, Sai stepped into the water with more finesse, shaking his head in reluctant amusement at Naruto's antics.
"Isn't this great?" Naruto questioned the brunet as he leaned back against the stone wall of the bath. Sai simply nodded and smiled his faux smile, careful not to let his mask slip and betray his nervousness.
"Hey, why are you smiling?" Naruto asked curiously, sensing something off.
Sai's smile wavered for a split second before he turned back to Naruto. "I thought I explained this to you and Sakura-san. A smile—"
"No, I mean why do you smile when you're not happy?"
Sai turned away, smile still intact. "If I don't, everyone worries. If I smile, they don't have to worry. When I'm unhappy, I'd rather smile, even if I don't mean it, than make everyone worry."
"Humph," Naruto snorted, swimming away. Once the blonde disappeared in the mist, Sai's smile fell and he brought a hand to his aching nether regions. To his dismay, he felt dried blood from where last night's wound had reopened during their journey to Tea.
"Hello, human."
Sai turned to the voice before his eyes widened in horror. Naruto was approaching him, but his eyes were red again…like last night…
The artist slowly backed away, not wanting a repeat of last night, before turning around and frantically swimming to the edge of the bath and scrambling out before Kyuubi sent him sprawling to the floor. Sai tried to stand up but the blonde held him down, spreading his legs apart.
"What do you want, Kyuubi?! You made your point last night!" It was bad enough knowing that the jinchuuriki would never love him like he wanted, but to go through this a second time…
"I did, but there's nothing wrong with a little reinforcement," the bijuu snarled, thrusting forward relentlessly into a struggling Sai.
"Naruto-kun!" Sai implored, desperate, "You have to wake up! Don't let him do this to me again!"
Kyuubi clasped a hand over the brunet's mouth. "Shut up, human!"
The action freed Sai's hand, allowing him to land a punch and causing Kyuubi to release his grip over his mouth.
"NARUTO-KUN!" Sai screamed one last time before collapsing, hoping to get to his friend. The nine-tailed demon fox felt his influence fading as his vessel regained consciousness. "Damn you…" he cursed the artist before Naruto took over completely.
As if from a deep sleep, Naruto had awoken, shocked to find himself naked and on top of Sai, who was also naked. When Naruto began pushing himself off of the brunet, his shock turned to horror when he felt himself inside the former ROOT shinobi. And pulling himself out, horror turned to disgust when he saw his member covered in semen and what had to be Sai's blood.
