Safe Attraction and Wild Love
Chapter 6
The date and renewed danger
"So you are really going on a date?" asked Shikamaru.
"Yeah, I guess I am" blushed Naruto.
"Today?" smiled Shikamaru.
"Well, today is Friday, so Yeah" said Naruto.
"Troublesome" said Shikamaru.
"You could say that, Shika" smiled Naruto.
All week long, since Naruto had agreed to the date, his friends and band mates have been (how to put this nicely)…A Pain in The Ass. After Naruto told Kakashi about it, well his darling uncle felt it was his duty to call everyone and tell them. Needless, to say Naruto was a little irritated, okay maybe more than irritated but you get the picture.
Now that the day was finally here…
'Well, at least with all my friends bothering me, I hadn't had a chance to be that nervous. But boy, am I making up for it now' thought Naruto ruefully.
"Hey, guys, how long are you going to be here?" asked Naruto looking nervously at the clock.
"Well, dobe we plan to stay until you leave for your date" said Sasuke as he leaned back on the couch.
"Yeah, foxy we want to check this joker out!" exclaimed Kiba.
"We care for you and we are happy that you are going on with your life, Naruto" said Hinata.
"And we have to ensure that our dickless friend is not getting into something horrible" came the sly comment Sai.
Naruto couldn't suppress the urge to roll his eyes. Getting up from his chair, Naruto looked at his friends…
"Yeah know what guys, your concern is heartwarming but I really need to take a shower and get dressed. I mean look at the time, it is already 7:00, so as much as I Love you guys, you need to go, NOW" said Naruto as he held the door open for them.
"Alright we can take a hint, dobe, I have got to meet Choji anyway, come on guys" said Sasuke as he went out the door.
Everyone finally left; Naruto glanced at the clock and gasped.
"Oh, shit, it's 7:15!" yelled Naruto.
Running to his bedroom, he grabbed the clothes that Hinata had picked out for him. After procuring his clothes he hurried to the bathroom and took a shower. When that was done, he got dressed. Hinata picked out an outfit that showed his best assets. For she had lain out for Naruto a blue silk shirt and a pair of black dress pants, she also picked a black leather jacket. In other words, Hinata made sure her friend looked really good.
He just wished that his hair would cooperate. For his hair today had ,at least to him, more than its usual bed head look. Finally getting a little order to his hair, Naruto stepped out of the bathroom.
Making his way to the living room, Naruto noticed that it was time for his date.
As if on cue, he heard a knock at his door. Walking nervously to the door, Naruto opened it.
And his mind went blank…..
For standing in front of him was a god in human form.
"You have a date, sir?" asked Ino.
"Yes" said Shino.
"Well, sir that is great!"exclaimed an excited Ino.
Silence was her answer. Ino looked at her stoic boss and was amazed to see a faint blush appear on his pale cheeks. Ino smiled and breathed a small sign before continuing the interrogation.
"So where did you meet her?" asked Ino.
Unfortunately for Shino he was not paying attention.
"At the bookstore" stated Shino while looking at some contracts that were on his desk.
"So what does she look like?" rambled Ino.
"Blond hair and the most spectacular blue eyes" mumbled Shino.
"So what else can you tell me about her" asked Ino with a gleam in her eyes.
At this point Shino started paying attention. His head went up sharply and he looked at his secretary.
"What was your last question, Ino?" asked Shino.
"Well, sir I asked, what else you could tell me about her" replied Ino while looking her boss in the eyes.
"Well, Ino I don't know much else about HIM but I imagine I will get to know him better during our date" answered Shino.
Ino shook her head in the affirmative. And then she went to pick up the contracts. As she was picking them up her brain made the connection to what he had said. Her eyes rose slowly toward to bosses.
"Did you just say HIM?" squeaked Ino.
"Yes" came the amused answer.
"Oh" muttered Ino.
"So Ino, since I have a date tonight I had better get going, have a nice weekend" said Shino as he got up to leave.
Ino's mouth fell open as she watched her boss leave the office.
Shino made it home rather quickly and he looked at the clock on the wall it told him he had an hour and thirty minutes till he had to be at Naruto's house. So he walked to his bedroom and picked out the clothes he was going to wear tonight. He picked out black pants and an emerald green silk shirt. While looking at his jackets he grabbed a black leather one that would be suitable for the cool evening. After he got his clothes, he went to take a shower. When he was done with that he got dressed. Upon getting done with the bathroom stuff he made his way to his living room and looked at the clock. The clock told him that it was 7:30, so Shino grabbed his jacket and keys.
Shino made his way to Naruto's house. When he got there, he got out and went up to the door. Shino took a breath and knocked. A few moments later, Naruto answered the door.
And his mind went blank.
For standing before him was a blond hair nymph.
Shino took a breath and spoke.
"Naruto, I hope that I find you well" said Shino.
"Yes, I- a-m-m w-e-e-ll" stuttered a blushing Naruto.
"Good, so I thought we would go to a nice Italian restaurant" smiled Shino.
"T-h-a-t s-s-o-o-u-n-d-s g-o-o-d" muttered Naruto.
Shino looked at his blushing blue-eyed nymph and had an overwhelming desire not to go out to eat but to take him to the nearest bedroom… Shino shook his head and pondered where this desire to do something so wild and out of character for him came from.
"Are you ready to go, Naruto?" Shino purred.
Naruto who still hadn't got his higher brain functions back yet just nodded. So Shino turned and went toward his car.
Naruto followed close behind for he was enjoying the view that was before him. Shino opened the passenger door for Naruto and waited for him to be seated. Then Shino closed the door and went to the other side and got in.
A car parked a little way away from the two love birds, held a man that one would know quite well.
"So my little song bird has decided to sing again, huh" said the man in the car.
After the two men left, the man in the car got out and headed up to the door of the house. Picking the lock the man went inside. The man walked through the house checking everything in it out. Finally the man made his way toward Naruto's bedroom. Going over to the bed the man left a present for Naruto, happy with himself the man slinked out of the house and back to his car. After getting in his car, the man smiled…
"Soon song bird, you and I will have another meeting" smirked the man.
"And this time I won't leave until you can't sing anymore" said man as he started his car and left.
Shino and Naruto got out of the car near the Italian restaurant. Shino lead them inside and had the hostess find a seat for them. The seat she found for them was in the darker part of the restaurant. After seating them she handed them a menu and told them that their waitress would be there shortly.
Naruto took this time to look at the man sitting before him.
'Wow, he is hot' thought Naruto with an emerging blush.
Shino at that moment chose to look up at his dinner companion. He watched in amazement as a blush crept up Naruto's face. So he put his menu down and leaned over the table…
"So Naruto how was your week?" asked Shino in a low husky voice.
"It was good, and how was yours?" Naruto answered shyly.
"Oh, it was good, so Naruto what do you do for a living?" Shino asked with a small smile.
"I give singing lesson" said Naruto.
"Really so how long have you done that?" asked Shino.
"Only about six months or so" muttered Naruto.
"What did you do before that?"
"I was in a band called Shadow Warriors" stated Naruto.
"Really and what kind of music did you sing"
"Mostly rock but I can sing anything or at least I could" glimpsed Naruto.
"Could" ask Shino with curiosity.
"Do you remember a rock star getting attacked in his home and…" said Naruto with tears.
"Yes" came the answer.
"Well, that is why it is could" said Naruto with a tears falling silently from his eyes.
"Let's change the subject to something happier, Naruto" said Shino as he leaned over the table to catch the falling tears.
Naruto nodded his head. At that time, the waitress came up and took their orders. After she left, Shino looked at Naruto and had to fight the desire to take the smaller man in his arms and comfort him. Shaking his head softly, Shino took his hand and put it under the smaller man's chin. Bringing the man's eyes up to his, Shino gave him a small smile. But unable to stop there Shino leaned farther over the table and captured the smaller man's lips with his own.
Naruto was shocked, unable to do anything. Until he felt the older man lips try to leave his, then he kissed back with passion. Shino happily responded with equal vigor. The kiss lasted for a time, up until air became a necessity. Both men leaned back in their chairs with a look of total amazement on their faces.
"That was…WOW" Naruto spoke shyly.
"I would have to agree" purred Shino.
As they sat there looking at each other the waitress returned with their order. The rest of the meal went by with the two of them getting to know one another. Shino told Naruto about his failed engagement and Naruto told Shino all about his band.
Before they knew it was time to leave the restaurant. As they made their way back to Naruto's house, Naruto asked Shino if he wanted to come up and talk some more. Shino agreed. So for the rest of the evening they talked and found that they had many things in common.
It was about 11:00, Shino and Naruto were sitting on the sofa enjoying a beer. Shino looked over at the person who brought such brilliant emotions out of him. And he just had to…
"Naruto, would you mind if I kissed you again?" asked Shino.
"No I wouldn't mind at all" blushed Naruto.
Shino leaned over to Naruto. He took one of his hands to Naruto's face. With one finger he traced Naruto's soft lips. Deciding that he couldn't wait any longer, he brushed his lips on the smaller man's. Naruto's eyes fluttered closed as he reveled in the taste of the taller man's lips. Naruto tasted the beer that they had consumed and a hint of chocolate.
Shino teased Naruto's lips open and began exploring the smaller man mouth. Taking care to map out every square inch of Naruto's mouth, Shino discovered that besides the faint taste of beer there was also a faint taste of caramel.
Teasing, plundering, and making the smaller man breath quicken became Shino's ultimate goal. Taking his tongue and enticing Naruto's tongue to join his, Shino became aware that of how heated this kiss was getting. Feeling sort of wild and out of control, Shino tore his lips away from Naruto's. Upon seeing the Naruto's flush face and swollen lips, Shino leaned in and softly kissed him again.
Finally, breaking apart…
"I must see you again, Naruto, I don't want this to be a one night stand" purred Shino.
"I agree, Shino, I feel so safe and…" said a breathless Naruto.
"I feel the same, but I must go, do you have anything going on tomorrow?" asked Shino while looking at his breathless lover.
"No" muttered Naruto.
"Good, so how about we spend the day together and get to know each other some more?" said Shino.
"That sounds good, what time?" asked Naruto catching his breath.
"How about 9:00 in the morning?"said Shino as he got up.
Shino turned around and pulled Naruto up from the sofa. Looking down at the blond man, Shino couldn't resist, so he leaned over and kissed Naruto again.
Finally they made it to the door; Shino stepped outside and looked at Naruto's flushed face. Deciding that one more wouldn't hurt, Shino kissed him again. Letting a very flushed and breathless, Naruto go Shino bid him goodnight and told him that he would be over at 9:00 in the morning.
Naruto closed the door and went to the bedroom to get his pj's. Not bothering with the light he went to his dresser and got them out. Making his way to the bathroom, Naruto looked at his face in the vanity. Seeing the flush face and swollen lips, Naruto smiled. Finally getting his pj's on and brushing his teeth, Naruto went back to his bed room and turned on the light.
Looking at his bed, Naruto felt a bubbling of fear rise up from his gut. For on his bed were black dead roses and beside the roses on his blanket was written in something red 'Songbirds are only supposed to sing for me'. Looking at this horror, that night came back to Naruto with force. Naruto backed into the wall and slide down to the floor.
Naruto then began to scream.
