Chapter 4

By the time Kakashi Hatakae reached the top of the stairs and turned onto the floor where Naruto Uzumaki lived, It was nine in the morning. Outside it was a cold but bright day. Inside it was also cold, however the inhabitants of the Leaf village were hesitant to go about their business at this hour. Kakashi had woken early to the arrival of a message hawk. It was a request from Sakura, who was out on a mission, that he check up on Naruto. She had claimed in her message that he had been acting strange. He had to agree. Naruto hadn't shown up to train with him for more than a week. And he was usually so eager to train.

Ino heard a knock at the door. She rolled out of bed. Why did some asshole have to wake her up this early, Didn't her parents tell everyone that she shouldn't be disturbed before 10:00 at the earliest. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and opened the door.

Kakashi was bewildered when Ino opened the door. She looked him up and down. She asked, still half asleep, What do you want Kakashi Sensei. It's too early. He didn't say anything, he thought. Why is Ino in Naruto's apartment. Did he change residence this week. Why wasn't I informed. It would explain why he hadn't shown up to train.

Ino came to her senses when she realized that she wasn't in her house. She was in the doorway of Naruto's apartment. There was a yawn from inside the room. Naruto was up and she had no clue what to say.

He heard someone yawn Inside, That was Naruto... He asked, What are you doing in Naruto's apartment? Several lies came to the forefront of her mind. None of them were good enough to convince Kakashi. She was about to tell him the truth when Naruto jumped in and saved her ass.

Naruto poked his face out where Kakashi could see him. He said, Come on Ino, You've had a break. Let's get back to training. Ino quickly caught on. She turned back to look at him sourly, We trained through the night. I'm still tired.

Kakashi looked at them quizzically, You two have been training together? Naruto nodded, yep, I got tired of training with Sakura. It too easy to anticipate her moves. I needed a new sparring partner. Kakashi said, Ok, Just checking on you since you weren't showing up for practice. Naruto and Ino nodded. Ino went to fetch her gear and Naruto talked with Kakashi.

The grey haired ninja watched them walk by and then out of the building. He knew they were lying to him. They hadn't been "training". He had as good a nose as any shinobi besides the Inuzukas. Ino smelled like Naruto, Naruto smelled like her perfume and neither of them were wearing combat ready clothes, Not to mention that Naruto was wearing that purple band on his wrist. The same one that Ino used to wear before she became a Chunin.

Kakashi's deductive reasoning told him that Ino and Naruto were dating, and with the knowledge that only three weeks ago, Sakura had at last accepted Naruto's request for a date. That means that Sakura was either jealous of Ino or thought Naruto was sneaking behind her back. -sigh- Teen politics.

Ino looked to Naruto, That was some quick thinking back there. I think we got away cold. Naruto knew better. He had seen Kakashi get that look before. He said, No he is totally on to us. He just doesn't want to get involved with it. Ino thought, Of all the people to know it's a good thing he was the one to find out.

Naruto agreed. Ino said, Lets go find some place to talk in peace. Naruto whisked her off to the top of the fourth Hokage's monument. She was startled by the great view. She asked him, when did you come up here? He said, I used to come up here to think when I was angry or depressed. Even though I never knew he was my dad.

Ino almost fell off the edge when she heard him say that. She coughed as he caught her. She shouted at him, Don't make stuff up like that! I almost fell off! Naruto said, I'm not making this up. Listen, I'll explain. He told Ino of all the intense training he had gone through over the years. The fact that he and the Fourth had shared one of the most powerful jutsues ever made was an obvious tie that he had missed. But as he trained under Jiraiya he kept hearing remark after remark about the Fourth's legacy.

He said then, one day I was snooping In granny's office and I found a picture. It was Jiraiya, The fourth, The Third, and some red haired woman. I realized that I look just like the fourth. It took some digging, but I found that I was born the same night that the fourth Hokage died.

Ino was pale and shocked. So you're the son of the Fourth Hokage... He nodded. So your just as much royal as I am. Naruto scratched the back of his head, I guess so. She held his face and kissed him. He let her do it but when she pulled back he said, Are you sure you want to do that here.

She looked shyly at him, We can go somewhere else if you want. He thought he heard a second meaning to her words. Wondering which meaning she mean he said, Want to get wet? That drew a flush of erotic color to her face. He took her hand and led her on a shadowed route through the village. Naruto didn't respond to her questions until they arrived at their destination. It was a tiny waterfall. It pattered over the rocks on near the hot springs. In fact the water that came down this rivulet was still pleasingly warm.

Ino saw it and smiled to herself. This was a perfect hidden little glade. She pulled Naruto behind her until they were near the sheer rock face. When she was close enough to be completely obscured by the cliff she put her arms on his shoulders. She said as though she were enlisting him, I want you to make love to me.

Naruto considered this. However, before he could respond she had dragged him into her. His mouth pressed to hers, their tongues dueling inside. Naruto reached a hand inside her panties. He cupped the wetness he found there. Ino gasped, she reached down with one of her hands and forced him to speed up.

Hinata watched them with her Biakugan eyes. She wept silently as she forced herself to watch. This was the price she paid for waiting so long.

He massaged her pale globes and fondled her thighs. They had both disrobed, one piece at a time. Ino was naked except for panties and fishnet on her elbows and knees. Naruto had his boxers on still and his jacket was open to show his bare chest. Even if they hadn't been doused by warm spray from the waterfall, they would have been soaked. Ino licked his whisker marks and he squeezed her rear with his hands.

Her hand stroked his hardness and he groaned. It was stiff and poked her flat stomach. She seemed to consider bending down when he lifted her up. Her legs wrapped around him. Without effort he slipped inside her. Ino's eyes popped open, while her mouth dropped. Then he hit her barrier. She whimpered in his ear, Please...

He thrust upwards and broke through. She screamed silently into his shoulder. As he continued to thrust she went quiet for a time. In moments her protests were transformed into throaty moans. He thought, She is so warm and tight. Her moaning is only making me harder!

Ino tried to speak, but her words were jarred from her as she had her first orgasm. He set her on her feet for a second. She looked dazed from her climax. Her eyes half lidded. He laid down and pulled her on top of him. She pointed his penis up towards her core and dropped down. There was a meaty slap. Ino's head rocked back as she bounced up and down. He pushed upwards as she came down till they were in rhythm.

He felt a pressure build in his balls. Ino was bent over him now panting and moaning. She went through another orgasm as he rolled her over on her back. He pounded down into her. She was nearly out of her mind with pleasure now. Naruto kissed her, drinking her breath. Out of air she inhaled through her nose. The overpowering smell of their sex filled her.

Naruto sped up for the finale. He growled in her ear, I'm cumming, are you safe? For a moment she couldn't string the words together, at last she forced out a Yeeess... Naruto thrust twice and pulled her into a bear hug. She shuddered through her third orgasm as he climaxed. Warmth filled her as the strength went out of her body. He fell beside her.

Looking at her he saw that she was asleep. However they couldn't stay here regardless of how hidden it was. He gathered their clothes and wrapped them up in his shirt. He zipped up his jacket. Then he pulled out her shirt and wrung it out. He picked her up and draped it over her. When he was sure that the area was clean, he headed for his apartment.

His apartment was cool when he entered it ten minutes later. He closed all the windows and turned on the heater. He buried Ino under every blanket he owned. Their first time had been almost perfect for him. He hoped Ino felt the same way. When he was dry he got into bed with her. She opened her arms to let him in. With other ideas, Naruto positioned himself behind her so that his body cocooned her's. He let himself fall asleep.

Ino was the first one up the next morning, however it wasn't morning at all. It was 11:30. She thought, This is my favorite time to wake up. Late enough for the outside to be almost as warm as inside. She sat on the side of the bed. Her muscles ached, as though she had lifted weights all day. However her.. Lower aches.. were rather pleasant. A finger trailed down her back, ending on her special spot. Then she was dragged back into Naruto's warm embrace.

He didn't say anything. She didn't think that he had much in the way of romance on his mind. Ino was wrong. As soon as she was installed in his arms, he went to work on her. He didn't even pause until she was moaning and writhing under the covers. When he did stop teasing her he began kissing her. Especially her breasts and neck. She halted him by holding his chin with one hand. She said, I want you to know two things. One, If you kiss me one more time you will have to make love to me again.

His voice was very husky, And two? She leveled her blue eyes with his, I want you to kiss me again. So he bent down to her. To kiss.

Ino swayed, Naked in the kitchen as she made a very late breakfast for them. Naruto, in only boxers now, put his hands on her hips and rubbed all the way over her stomach and around her breasts, reaching her throat. She felt like an exotic mistress to some mountain lord. She reflected that they had made love twice in 24 hours. Quite a feat for some lovers. He kissed her between her shoulder blades and turned to sit at the table. When the food was done, they fed each other morsels.

kyuubi watched them from the back of Naruto's mind. He thought, He reminds me so much of Minato. Hmmmph, She doesn't but then again she isn't an Uzumaki. It makes me feel... Calm. Haven't felt this way since before I was bound the first time. Perhaps he is worthy of my power?

When they finished eating Naruto picked Ino up and deposited her back in bed. She was about to say that he was being too protective, when he pulled the covers over them both. She imagined that she felt him brush her hair out of her eyes, but her hair was down already. Great now I'm fantasizing about his mere touch. Ino was beginning to get annoyed, was Naruto going to treat her like his most delicate possession from now on.

Then he was on her, his tongue tasting her again. She looked into his eyes a question on her lips. He said, I'm sorry to tell you, but I haven't finished. She asked appalled, Your still horny?! She thought, How much stamina does he have? His cock answered for him. He pushed into her. It made her head spin. Too much sex without a break. She couldn't last...

Ino was right, She passed out from exhaustion after only thirty minutes. Naruto was slightly disappointed, but she couldn't help being weaker than him. He had Kyuubi after all. When he left her she was sleeping again, wrapped in blankets. He had a few errands to run and besides, He wanted to find out if he could help Ino in bed.

She found it. YES, YES, YES! Sakura had been up for two days now looking through the library. Deep in the stacks of scrolls she found what she had been looking for. The original seal for the second Hokage. Sakura had searched for some kind of strategy to separate Ino from Naruto and now she had found it.

The second Hokage had been brought in during a time of intense turmoil. In order to make sure that he didn't do anything the village didn't approve of, a special contract was made. At first it was singular to the second Hokage, but in time it was altered and used by the Third and Fourth. However it was weakened each time to allow for modern pressures.

She had overheard captain Yamato talking with Kakashi about it. It was perfect for her plan. It was completely binding, needed only Naruto's blood, and could say just about anything. She had spent the past two days looking for the original contract. In the back of the archives it was discovered.

Now all she needed was some of Naruto's blood, actually a fair amount was needed. It also had to be clean. That would be tricky to accomplish. But in the end she would force Naruto to love her and leave Ino forever. She could make him hers, without any possibility of reversal. Even if the contract was destroyed it would still be binding for years.

Sai watched Sakura prepare her intricate plan for capturing Naruto. He had heard every perverted word she had said to herself. He thought, She is getting to be as bad as Naruto. Talking to your self is one thing, but speaking such plans aloud is stupid. Now he spied on her as she hatched her plan in her room at her house. It had two major flaws that he saw. The first was that Naruto was highly unpredictable, and could not be counted on to follow a reasonable course of action. The second was that Sai was going to tell Naruto about it.

Sai found Naruto in the market district, buying... something other than Ramen. This was surprising. Naruto saw him coming and replaced a loaf of bread on the shelf. The market was empty besides them. Sai got right down to business, Hello Naruto, Sakura is using an ancient binding ritual to try and separate you and Ino. Naruto dropped his groceries with a thump. He looked at him dumbstruck.

HOW?! Sai said, I figured out you were dating Sakura and I've been..following her around. He continued. She is desperate to drive Ino and you apart. Naruto ground his teeth together. Sakura had crossed a line this time. But he had to ask, How did you know we were dating? Sai fake smiled, Well it was only logical, The amount of time you've spent together, her perfume scent on you, and the fact that your buying something other than ramen. Naruto cringed, If Sai could connect the dots then everyone else could.

Well sai, How about you come back to my apartment so you can explain it to both of us. Naruto didn't think the explanation was going to be simple.

He was right. When Sai was finished telling them about all he had overheard and seen, Ino was well beyond livid. She was all for putting Sakura in the Hospital. Naruto wasn't willing to fight Sakura and Sai didn't really want to get involved. As he had said, I'm not skilled at relationships.

Ino came up with a plan of her own, but she didn't tell Naruto.

The next day a ninja stopped by his apartment to tell him that he needed to show up at the hospital for an examination. The courier explained that they needed a sample of blood for a experiment. They wanted to see if they could manufacture a medicine to suppress demonic chakra. The "courier" was actually Sakura. Ino popped her head out. If you need a blood sample I can draw one here. I have my medical kit.

Sakura thought, Ha! This is great, Ino is handing Naruto to me on a silver platter!

Ino pulled Naruto into the living room and told him to wait. She searched through her bag till she found a vial of blood. She had drawn it yesterday from none other than Choji. She had convinced Choji that she needed to run a few tests on his blood and that they were doing it for plenty of other ninjas as well.

What is taking her so long? Oh here she comes.

Ino returned to the door and handed the disguised Sakura the vial. Sakura couldn't help but smile. She thanked Ino from the bottom of her heart and left to complete the ritual.

Naruto had recognized that the courier was Sakura and asked, What did you just do? Ino said, I made her ritual useless by giving her blood from a different ninja. Since her contract is supposed to be so specific, using different blood should render it useless. Ino grinned and jumped in his lap. She said, Now in celebration of foiling her attempts to separate us, You are going to fuck me till I see stars. He held her close to him and purred in her ear. Now why would I make love to someone so obviously corrupt. Because, she said, Your just as corrupt as I am.

He agreed with her on that much, they had corrupted each other. She pulled his shirt off and they got "busy".

Sakura let out a shout of triumph. It accepted the blood and the seal was COMPLETE. Any minute now, Naruto would realize how foolish he had been to love Ino and he would rush to her side.

Ten minutes later he wasn't bursting through her door. Sakura began to worry that she had done something wrong or missed a step. But no, she had triple checked everything, She had even went over each word of the document. There were only two places she could have messed up. The document it's self or the blood she had used. But the blood was perfect. Direct from Naruto. Ino hadn't had enough time to tamper with it even if she did know.

So it must have been the original document. When she had researched how to replicate the ritual she learned that the amount of preparation needed to enchant the paper was colossal. It had taken the original makers a month to prepare the paper. Alone it could take years for her to duplicate it correctly. That night she cried herself to sleep.

Ino woke in Naruto's arms the next morning, She thought, I could get used to this. When she looked at the clock on the table she sweatdropped. Why the hell did I wake up at 6:30 ? She let herself out of Naruto's embrace. As he woke up she got dressed. She never got up this early and when she did, It usually meant something bad was going to happen. She didn't know just how right her prediction was.
