Alright! Chapter 4 is here yayy! Forewarning though, its uhhhh a little perverted! Sorry I couldn't help myself! :D
Chapter 4
After cuddling with Sakura, Naruto had let her go so she could stand up. He stood up too. Seeing her back turned towards him he got excited again and pulled her body against his, successfully hugging her from behind.
"Oh Naruto, you can't seem to keep your hands off of me," she giggled in amusement.
Naruto only responded with a playful purr and began rubbing his cheek against hers. He seemed to fall into a trance, as he kept basking her with affection. He then scooped her up in his arms and headed towards the cave to the right of the waterfall with all the fur and hay.
Noticing the chain around his neck, she reached up and gave it a slight tug. The moment she did this, Naruto stopped walking; he pushed back his ears and looked down at her. "Flower, please don't hurt Naruto," he pleaded with such sad eyes.
"Naruto, I would NEVER hurt you. Why would you say such a thing, what's wrong?" she gasped.
"Bad men with white masks hurt me. They whip me and pull chains to choke and pull Naruto," he replied with a distant look in his eyes, obviously reliving painful memories.
Sakura brought her hand up and placed it on the side of his cheek, immediately his eyes closed and he leaned in toward her caress, smiling and purring.
His eyes opened to look at her. "Flower make Naruto feel better. Thank you," he said warmly.
"Of course Naruto," she smiled.
They began walking again. She noticed that the chain he wore around his neck was very long, and had allowed him to move around just about everywhere. Well, it didn't allow him to go near most of the entrance to the room, which Sakura was thankful for. If that chain was a little bit longer, Naruto would have killed her when they first met…
Naruto brought Sakura to the entrance to the cave with the many furs and hay.
"My den," Naruto announced happily. He carefully placed her down on the bedding and lazily plopped down right next to her. He encircled his arms around her and pulled her close. He smiled and closed his eyes. Naruto had dozed off in less than a minute. Sakura giggled. He turned on his back, now only holding her with one hand, while the other one was sprawled out on his other side.
She took in his sleeping form and couldn't help but smile. She took one hand and started rubbing circles on his chest. Naruto smiled in his sleep and purred slightly. She giggled and continued on in amusement. She then got a bit testy and started to rub his stomach. Naruto's purrs increased in volume and so did his smile. Every now and then his foot would kick out, or his tail would thump. Sakura was now laughing lightly. She started scratching the soft fur below his bellybutton. She watched Naruto purr real loud and push his ears back. As she kept scratching, his purrs became throatier and he began to pant with his tongue sticking out. Sakura not expecting this reaction hesitated a bit. Her hesitation caused Naruto to frown and whine loud in his sleep. Sakura couldn't ignore his cuteness, so she continued to pamper him.
This time Naruto began to claw at the ground. To her it looked like he was in pain, but before she could stop Naruto opened his eyes to stare at her. His eyes were heavy but had an odd glint to them.
"Flower," he purred. "You make me feel happy." She smiled at his words, but realized he didn't return her smile. Instead he started to sit up a bit, but yelped in pain and his hands went immediately to his most private part. Sakura wanting to find the source of his sudden pain, made the mistake of looking down to where his hands were. She froze, turning a bright red as she saw just what exactly he was holding.
There was a large tent in his fur. Nothing was showing, but it was just as if something was showing. Naruto began to whine trying to push it down. "It hurts…h-help," he whined with tail between his legs.
Sakura scooted back. "What am I supposed to do?!" She freaked out. He looked toward her with pleading eyes. "Make it go away," he offered.
Sakura turned an even brighter shade of red. "N-no, I d-don't know h-how…," she sputtered out. She looked to the side and began to crawl away. Sakura sadly made the mistake of turning her back towards him, and was on all fours while crawling…
Naruto seemed to have liked the invitation. With one mighty leap he had her pinned underneath him, his large frame dwarfing hers completely. Before Sakura could move Naruto had wrapped both arms around her torso, and leaned forward so that he was laying on her, with his cheek pressed against her right cheek.
Sakura was scared stiff. She could not move, Naruto had her pinned. She gave a little 'eep' as he pressed the lower portion of his body flush against hers. He purred wildly and wagged his erect tail. He licked the side of her face and buried his nose in her hair/neck.
So far she was thankful that he didn't move. But as soon as she thought that to herself, Naruto growled and pushed himself more against her. Sakura freaked out, and started squirming. Mistakenly, Naruto took that as her not being submissive. So being the dominant male that he was, he growled deep and nipped the side of her neck. Sakura screamed from the sudden pain. Naruto mistook her cry of pain for something else. But he heard her start to whimper. "Please no," she said softly. Naruto didn't understand why she wanted him to stop but he got off her reluctantly.
He wagged his tail and licked her face. Sakura only turned her head to the side. Naruto whimpered and tried to get her attention. Sakura backed up a little and whimpered again, this time placing her hand where he nipped her. As she brought it back she noticed that there was now blood at her hands. She paled and looked up at Naruto.
Naruto's eyes bugged out as he saw that he hurt her. With a strangled cry he pulled her towards him and started sniffing her, searching for her injury. When he found the scrape on her neck he began to lap up her blood carefully, not wanting to hurt her more. He purred a little because of the taste of her blood. He had calmed himself though, to not scare her. Sakura began to get sleepy due to his ministrations. She allowed herself to fall asleep in his arms. Naruto saw this and had stopped licking her, pleased that the cut was now gone and scar free due to the healing capabilities in his saliva. He laid her down carefully and cuddled down behind her, still holding her. He spooned her petite form to his much larger one, resting his head on top of hers and wrapping his furry tail around her, he allowed himself to drift off to sleep. Finally in his whole existence, he was able to sleep peacefully.
Sakura woke up to a distant voice.
"Miss Haruno, it's time to get up," the voice projected somewhere around the room. "Miss Haruno, press the green button so we can come and get you. It's time to leave; it's already morning of the next day. You've been in there all night."
Not knowing where the voice came from, Sakura sat up a little. She heard the voice again. "It's Kabuto. Through a special jutsu, I am able to broadcast my voice in here when need be. It also allows me to see in here."
Sakura looked around in awe. Her eyes landed on a still sleeping Naruto. Her heart melted on the spot as she took in his position: he was curled up in a ball, his tail wrapped around him tightly and he had a big smile on his face.
"Get up, and get up slowly," Kabuto advised. "Do not wake him. If he sees that you are leaving he's going to go ballistic and he will become highly dangerous. Oh, and press the green button now, so that by the time you make it to the front the door will already be open."
Sakura did as she was told and had pressed the green button. It lit up without a sound which she was thankful for. Being the graceful ninja that she was, she got up slowly without a sound and started to inch backwards, eyes trained on Naruto the whole time.
She made it out the cave and was now passing the stream, getting closer to the passage way that lead back to the barren land. She had to quickly dive in to some bushes as she watched Naruto stretch awake. The moment he didn't see Sakura by his side, he gave a loud whine and spring up searching for her. He was searching frantically and blindly, tossing over his bedding and checking the same places over and over again.
Sakura's heart felt so hopeless as she watched him cry and try to find her. As she was about to get out of her spot and call out to him, her watch started beeping. She deadpanned.
"Just great! So this thing beeps when it's time to go back but not when I press it. Gee thanks for the warning Kabuto," She thought in frustration.
Naruto had stilled his search as the beeping reached his ears. He sniffed the air, and stopped. He wagged his tail happily. "Flower! I found you!"
"Shit!" she said as she saw Naruto start to run out the cave towards her exact direction.
Sakura sprang out of her hiding spot and began to run. When Naruto saw her his excitement sparked, and he got down on all fours, effectively running faster.
"Heyyyy! Come back!" He whined.
Sakura thought of a brilliant idea. "Naruto," she called out behind her shoulder. "Let's play a game. If you catch me I'm yours but if you don't catch me then I run to somewhere you can't get me." She didn't want to reveal the fact that she meant that she had to leave.
"Okay!" He shouted happily and increased his speed.
Sakura freaked and dove to the side, going into the thick underbrush. She started hopping on trees and looping around branches. She heard Naruto noisily crashing behind her. She pumped chakra into her legs to give her an extra boost. She managed to pass him without him noticing. He continued to run in the direction he thought she had gone.
She made it out and into the dirt clearing. She saw the door open and 4 ANBU waiting for her with their weapons out. Sakura hurried to them. Before she could make it to them, a pained roar shook the entire area, freezing her on the spot. She turned to see Naruto was out of the clearing and was looking at her. He started to whine, but his whines turned into growls as his eyes locked with the ANBU.
She started to back up towards the exit. Seeing this Naruto began to run towards her. He leaped, but just like the first time they met, the chains around his neck had reached their limit and had yanked him back choking him and throwing him hard on his back. He gave a pained cry and slowly crawled up, turning away from them. Sakura ran towards him. Two of the ANBU men started laughing.
"It's not funny! Can't you see that hurt him?!" She yelled back. But those men kept laughing not caring about how he felt.
When she reached Naruto she saw that he was cowering. Her heart went out to him. She crouched down to his side and saw that he was actually crying. He sniffled and looked away from her, not wanting her to see him cry. Sakura enveloped him in a hug, shutting up the laughing ANBU men as they did not expect her to do such a thing.
"Shhhhh its okay," she cooed. "I'm here Naruto, I'm here." At the soothing tone of her voice, Naruto looked up at her and gave a small smile, he then slowly but gently licked her cheek. Then he nuzzled her and began to purr, returning her hug and rocking them back and forth. Sakura began to hum a lullaby, watching how he relaxed completely and started to drift off to sleep.
Just as his eyes closed she heard someone shout her name. Looking back she saw Kabuto in the middle of the ANBU.
"Well, well. It seems that he took a liking to you." He stated amusingly. "Unfortunately, it's time to go. Don't worry though, you'll be back tonight. Tell him goodbye and come along." With that he turned back around and left.
Sakura not wanting to leave looked down at Naruto, who was looking up at her with sleepy eyes. "Naruto," she said, he looked more at her. "I have to go. But I promise! I'll be back tonight, and you could lick and cuddle with me all you want then." She said the last part nuzzling his face. He returned her nuzzle and licked her nose. He nodded his head and pushed her up gently so that she was on her feet. "Thank you Naruto," she smiled. "Bye!" waving back. She turned and headed towards the door. Before she went through the door, she heard him start to whimper. She turned back around. "Now Naruto, be good. Don't worry I'll be back." He stared at her with sad eyes, and held out his hand towards her.
Sakura waved again and backed up through the door, the ANBU following behind. "Be good Naruto, I'll be back soon," was the last thing she said before the door closed. She noticed that the last door now had a window with bars on it, so she was able to see Naruto. He was still looking in her direction, since he could still see her. He gave one last cry but was cut short to him smiling big at her. She squealed on the inside from his cuteness and wished she could have tackled him in a hug.
He waved at her then turned around and leaped into the trees, out of sight.
Sakura didn't realize that she was still staring out the window till she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw that it was the same ANBU that had apologized to her earlier. She saw that he was wearing a fox mask, which reminded her of Naruto in a way.
"Please Miss Haruno, it's time to go." He said kindly. She realized that all the other doors behind her were now open and she could see into the tunnel. She must have been standing there for more than five minutes. She blushed out of embarrassment, and nodded her head. She followed after the ANBU to the tunnel. After she passed through each door, it swung shut in less than a second. She saw how fast Naruto was, so she could see why the doors swing faster when someone was heading back to the tunnel, and when someone entered his room.
After the last door swung shut she turned to the fox-masked ANBU. "Uhm, may I ask your name please?"
Taken back by her request, he hesitated. "Well, seeing that you are alive and well, giving you my name is the least I could do for you," he said with a smile to his voice. "My name is Iruka."
Sakura smiled. "Thank you Iruka." He nodded and walked ahead of her to join the ANBUs ahead. Kabuto then came out of one of the rooms to the side. He started clapping his hands lightly. "Well done Miss Haruno. Really, well done," he said with glee. This time Sakura felt that he actually meant the smile. For some reason she got the feeling that everyone was expecting her to die in there but rather than be mad at them, she accepted it.
"Now, you are free to go. I'll have to report back to Danzo, and if he needs you too I'll send someone to get you. In the meantime, Kakashi is waiting for you outside the lab room," he instructed. Sakura nodded and headed toward the elevator. Watching her leave, he thought to himself, "Maybe this will work out after all...
At the elevator she smiled to Iruka, and then turned towards two ANBU, the same ANBU who had laughed at Naruto earlier. She approached the one with the dog mask and punched him in the gut. She turned towards the one with the panther mask and kicked him really hard in the nuts. They doubled over in pain, and she just smiled in victory. "That's for Naruto." With that, she stepped into the elevator and disappeared behind its doors.
Iruka shook his head and sighed. "Really now Kiba, she only punched you in the gut, man up," he sighed. "Sheesh, poor Sasuke over here got kicked in the nuts." Right after talking about him, as if on cue, Sasuke quickly pulled off his mask and puked.
Iruka laughed, shook his head and called a lab worker to come and clean it up. "Man, what a girl."
funny ending :) Sorry, I love Sasuke! Kiba also! but they deserved that ;) Tell me what you thought! ;D REVIEW! :3
