Day 181.
Naruto frowned deeply at her computer screen in the darkness of her room. The information that was connected like a spider-web was disturbing, to say the least. There was no way this was just a coincidence, even she wasn't stupid enough to play it off as one. Most of the information concerning Danzou, she already knew. But there was no way she had expected the man to be connected to the hacker that had breached the Uchiha's security system and had gotten to level four of her own security. Just like Fugaku, Itachi and Sasuke, Naruto hadn't sat still. After she had gotten the location of the internet café, she hacked into the system to try and find more information. Luckily, she was bullheadedly persistent, which led to her getting information off the security footage from the restaurant across the street, specifying the time and location to the dot. After that she had run a face-scan and now had a name with the face. Yakushi Kabuto. Of course she had immediately investigated closer while she relayed the information she had to Sasuke, who did his own research at the police office. But that was where things had gotten tricky.
That Kabuto was slippery as a snake, having many aliases to which he did business. She had stumbled upon it on accident as she had recognized one of the names he used from the information she had gotten on Danzou. It had taken a couple of days before she had recognized it and it had made Naruto completely cold inside. She recognized the fact that the hacker was working for someone, who did business with Danzou. It was only yesterday that she found out who the man behind Kabuto was. It was a name that was very familiar to her, since Jiraiya had named him a couple of times with a bitterness in his voice as he told them how they had been friends before things happened. Things happened as in, Orochimaru becoming the biggest kingpin of the underworld. A retired information broker like Jiraiya had been torn between trying to save his friend or protecting the people important to him. And now Naruto was stuck to deal with him. Should she tell him?
Naruto send a glance at her phone. Orochimaru was not someone she could take on, on her own, not to mention Kabuto. But Jiraiya was extremely important to her, and she didn't want to see him get hurt again by bringing up the situation. The old information broker was however her best chance, if she got to share her information in exchange for his. She wasn't too shabby as broker either, since she had grown up around Jiraiya, the best in the business. She had a natural ability to let people let their guard down and let some information slip. Jiraiya had once told her she was practically a natural at it, but that didn't feel like a compliment. It wasn't an insult either, just something neither of them were too sure of if they wanted her to grow in it or not. But then again, Naruto had grown into it without even being aware of it. And while she was not yet as famous as Jiraiya was, she had a couple of people who had paid for her information. Naruto picked up her cellphone and pulled up her godfather's number, her finger hovering over the call-button. Her alarm ringing had her shaking out of her staring and doubting and with a sigh, Naruto turned it off. She would give the man a chance to decide for himself.
Taking out his book, she flipped it open on a random page. Jiraiya had a certain code, which they both used to encrypt their messages to each other when it was needed. Naruto with great reluctance, leafed through the porn book as she typed in the code. The message was short and to the point. 'Information on snake. Trade?' was all it said, but Naruto knew for sure Jiraiya would get the message. With a long sigh, she looked at her ceiling with the one question ghosting through her mind that she wanted to demand an answer from. Why did her father's name pop up in the spider-web? Was it because he was a hacker, or was it because of something else? Looking back at the screen, Naruto sighed before turning her computer off. One thing was for sure. This whole clusterfuck was going to stay her knowledge alone for a while. Orochimaru no doubt had spies everywhere, and possibly in the police force. If Naruto told Sasuke or Fugaku, Orochimaru would know, if he didn't already. No, it was better if she kept it to herself for now.
Rubbing her tired eyes, Naruto stepped out of her clothes before stepping into the shower and turning on the water. She felt her muscles relax under the too hot stream of water and rubbed her neck as she let her head hang down. What were her next steps? First one was pretty damned obvious. She would need more information without getting targeted any more than she already was. And for that, she needed to rile Danzou up. The man was smart, so standard pranks wouldn't cut it. But if she kept to pranks, only Danzou would be blamed for losing his temper with a little girl and spilling information that he wasn't supposed to. Of course, then there was Sakura, who had come to school after a week of absence. Naruto had done all she can to stop Sasuke from tasing her on the spot. Despite the restraining order, Sasuke and Sakura were still in the same class and she was still trying to seduce the raven, ignoring the court order that was above her head.
The bullying had upped a level, if that was even possible. Naruto had found death-threats in her locker, two times together with a dead animal like a rat or a bird. Her uniform had been completely destroyed one day after gym, which led her to walk around in her gym uniform which had than turned into punishment from Danzou. The same as with the dead animals. But Naruto was strong, she could take being bullied and being punished. With a sigh, she stepped out of the shower and proceeded to get dressed in her new uniform. She braided her hair into four boxer braids before she merged them into two before tying them off at her hips with two hair ties that held two small orange balls. Slipping an orange wristband around her wrist, she walked into her fiancé's room.
"Oi, Sasuke, get up" Naruto said as she shook his shoulder. Unsurprisingly, there was a minimum of reaction. With a sigh and in no mood for his bad mornings, she leaned closer to his ear. "GET UP!" she yelled into his ear and before she could defend herself, Sasuke had her onto her back on his bed, hovering over her while he pinned down her hands next to her head. Naruto blinked shocked for a moment before she deadpanned again as Sasuke seemed to wake up but didn't release her. "Didn't this happen before" she said and Sasuke hummed. "You'd think you'd learned your lesson when this happened the first time" he said, his voice rough from sleep. "You'd think that by now, you'd learn how to get up on your own in the morning" she retorted and Sasuke huffed as she pushed him away. Naruto went down to the kitchen first, yawning against her hand as she opened the fridge. With a shrug, she prepared two banana smoothies which were done as soon as Sasuke came down the stairs into the kitchen.
"What's the bracelet for?" Sasuke asked as he jerked his chin at the orange wristband on the blonde's wrist. "Self-injury awareness day. A friend I got to know in Germany a couple of years ago, was cutting herself because she was bullied" Naruto said and looked up at Sasuke. "She stopped when her mother found out and they're working on it. But god knows that it's not something you can easily stop. It's just not enough thought about and needs more attention. More understanding" Naruto said and Sasuke hummed. Of course Naruto was passionate about those things and it didn't surprise him. It also didn't surprise him as she talked him into wearing one of the wistbands with just explaining why she felt so passionate about it. He was a sucker when it came to her.
As they let for school, they walked next to each other in a relaxed manner, their hands brushing together yet nothing more. When they entered the school-grounds, their friends greeted them with a wave as they walked next to them. Sasuke was being more civilized with Neji, but since they were both dominant, it was still tense. Naruto often joked how Sasuke was unable to make friends because of the forest up his ass and Hinata tended to shyly agree with her that it was the same with Neji. Naruto stopped at her locker as Sasuke continued on next to the long haired raven. "Oi, Teme!" Naruto called out as she remembered something, Sasuke halting to look over his shoulder. "We need to go to the store after school! Fridge is empty, so think of what you want to eat and let me know" she said and Sasuke nodded before continuing back to his class. As soon as Naruto touched her locker, a chill ran down her spine that she recognized. With a sigh, she opened her locker, not all that surprised at the dead dove that greeted her. Taking out a hanky, she disposed of the animal outside in one of the bushes, which made her late to class. Really, where else could she put it?
Shimakaru and Kiba gave her a confused look as she dropped down in her seat and practically fell asleep that same second. Spending the whole night behind a computer without any rest wasn't exactly good for her sleeping rhythm. After lunch, Naruto had lessons in the computer classroom. It was then that she put her plan in motion, getting Danzou so angry with her that he would slip up. It was actually rather easy, considering that compared to everything else, the security system of the school was a joke and she got in without even trying. Her actions were rather simple. Turn all the computers on, turn all screens black and make a message. She put a timer on it before backing out of the system and making sure she left not a single trace. She leaned back in her chair, lazily acting as if she was making her assignment she had cleared ten minutes ago, when class had barely just begun. She ended up helping Kiba as she counted down. Right as she got to zero, the screens all turned black. "Wha?!" Hayate, their teacher exclaimed as the students looked confused. The attention was draw back to their won screen as a big and bold white text appeared on the screen, as if it was being typed at the exact same moment.
Danzou peeks on the boys in the dressing rooms. ROFL.
Silence dragged on before Kiba started laughing obnoxiously loud. Most of the other students started laughing too while Hayate tried to get the computers to work again. What many didn't know was that it was true. Danzou had camera's everywhere in the school and on his computer, he kept some of the footage to pick out new recruits for his disciplinary committee. Danzou was old school, as in women belong in the kitchen while men needed to be strong but submissive to those superior. It was also the reason that Naruto changed in a completely different way, revealing as little skin as possible. That old fuck was the last one she wanted to see her body. Finally, the screens turned back to normal after the whole system turned off and on again.
"UZUMAKI NARUTO, TO THE ASSISTANT HEADMASTER'S OFFICE! NOW!" Danzou's voice bellowed over the speakers and Naruto looked up, faking innocence as she stopped laughing. "What did I do now?" she asked and Kiba and Shikamaru were just as confused. Naruto stood up and made her way to the office, where she knocked on the door. Immediately after the first knock, the door flew open and she was roughly dragged inside, only to be thrown against a book-closet against the wall. Naruto winced, but didn't voice anything as Danzou's arm once again wrapped around her arm with bruising force. His eyes stood full of rage and Naruto had to swallow. It wasn't that she was scared, but she wondered how much she would get beaten up before she would have enough information.
"Do you have any idea what you just did, you useless bitch?!" Danzou hissed and raised his hand, obviously to smack her but was stopped by a hand wrapping around his wrist. "Let her go, Danzou" an old but warm voice said and both looked over at Hiruzen, the headmaster. With a click of his tongue, Danzou released Naruto and took a step back, all the while glaring at her. "Now, I first want you to apologize to Uzumaki-san for accusing her without proof, insulting and trying to assault her" Hiruzen said and Danzou looked absolutely disgusted with just the idea of apologizing to the blonde. The two elder man stared at each other, a silent battle of wills held before Danzou mumbled an apology that was about as meant as Naruto would say that she was a ninja with a demon fox sealed inside of her. "Now, Uzumaki-san, shall we go to my office?" Hiruzen asked and walked over to the door that connected the two offices. Naruto nodded and followed the headmaster into his office. As soon as they sat down on either side of the dark wooden desk, Hiruzen smiled.
"Now, I would like to ask a few questions, Uzumaki-san" he said and Naruto crossed her legs as unsuspiciously as possible, jerking her chin towards the corner of the room as if it was just a natural movement to move her braids. But with a pointed look, Hiruzen seemed to understand, glanced to the corner of his office without turning his head. "I suggest we change locations for that. I don't like to talk in a stuffy office" Hiruzen smoothly let the conversation flow as Naruto gave a nod. "How about we go for a walk?" he asked and Naruto thought about it. "Yeah, sure" she said and stood up. Hiruzen walked next to her as she wordlessly led them to a place she knew was least secured. Outside, at the front gates. "You were the one who created that chaos, weren't you?" Hiruzen asked soft and Naruto glanced at him.
"No need to lie. I knew your father very well" Hiruzen said and Naruto crossed her arms, ignoring the throb in her arm where a bruise was blooming. "Yeah well, not all people who knew my dad very well are good guys" she said and Hiruzen gave a soft laugh. "I understand that. But I know more than you at this point. Maybe we can help each other" he said and Naruto gave him a pointed look. "What makes you think that is my price?" she asked and Hiruzen tilted his head as he held his hands behind his back. "Information from a source who was closest to the confrontation between Danzou and Minato is not good enough?" he asked, but in his eyes sparkled something that Naruto knew to be certainty. He knew that that was what she wanted to know. "And what would I have to pay for that information?" she asked weary and Hiruzen smiled. "You don't need to worry about that. I'm not an information broker" he said and Naruto narrowed her eyes. "Yeah, well, what payment do you want then, because there is no way in hell that I'm going to believe you want to give me information so important just like that. If you did, you would have given it to me as soon as I entered the school" Naruto said and Hiruzen looked at her. She knew she had a point and he did too.
"I want your assistance" he said and Naruto raised an eyebrow. "My assistance? I'm guessing it's not something exactly legal, considering you already know what I do" she said and Hiruzen's smile answered her suspicions. Hiruzen knew she was the one who hacked into the system and that she was a hacker. "Your father was supposed to take over the school from me and become headmaster with my retirement" Hiruzen said and Naruto frowned. That was the first she'd heard of it. "Jiraiya was the one who guided him to hacking while I was the one who helped him to a place in the government. I have a lot of connections, you see" he said and Naruto crossed her arms she listened intently. "Then why don't you use those connections of yours for assistance instead of a high school student like me?" she asked sharp and Hiruzen gave her an amused smile. "Because you are your father's daughter. Jiraiya told me about how you are a natural broker and just now, you have proven that you are just as capable as your father" Hiruzen said and looked away into the distance. "Also, I don't know how many of my connections I can currently trust" he said and Naruto frowned harder.
"Then, why me?" she asked again and Hiruzen looked at her. He didn't have to look up or down since they were basically the same height. "Because we have a common goal" he said and Naruto's eyes widened as a name popped up in her head. "Orochimaru" she said soft and Hiruzen gave a nod. "Correct" he said and Naruto held the older man's gaze, noticing some regret in his eyes, but overall determination. "Okay" she said and let her arms fall next to her side. "What do you want me to do?" she asked and Hiruzen looked away in the distance again. "Listen to a little story I will tell you" he said and Naruto frowned lightly, but listened anyway as Hiruzen started his story about Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade had been his students when he had still been a tutor. How he had encouraged Orochimaru into business and chemistry, which had led to Orochimaru becoming what he was now. Obsessed with human experiments to the eternal young life, void of diseases. How they had tried to stop him before, together with Jiraiya and Minato, but that had ended with Minato and Kushina being forced to crash their car, which had killed them. Naruto was still reeling inside as that last was what kept going through her head. It hadn't been an accident, but someone had forced them to drive off the road. Someone who was without a doubt Orochimaru, which gave Naruto another reason to want the guy locked up for life. But that would be impossible if she failed. A hiss left her lips as she felt a pain shoot through her arm where Sasuke had grabbed her.
"Don't space out, dobe. You're going to let something burn" the raven said and Naruto looked back down on the two steaks she was cooking. "Right, sorry" she said and Sasuke frowned. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked for the fifth time since they left school. "I'm fine" she said and Sasuke narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "Naruto" Sasuke said but Naruto smiled at him. "I'm fine. You don't need to worry" she said and jerked her chin at the fries he was forgetting about, jokingly pointing it out while she continued with the mushroom sauce. It didn't take long before they were eating in silence. After doing the dishes, they each retreated to their room. Naruto looked at the door separating her room from Sasuke's, trying to figure out if it was a good idea to let him on what she had running through her mind. With a sigh, she turned back to her screen, obviously wanting to postpone it for as long as she could. If only Sasuke wasn't so suspicious.
"Why didn't you tell me?!" was the first thing Sasuke said after he stormed into Naruto's room. The blonde, who had jumped at his rough entrance, looked over her shoulder at her fiancé. "What the hell?! Have you never fucking heard of knocking?!" she hissed and Sasuke closed the door behind him. "I don't care. Why the hell didn't you tell me?" he asked as he crossed his arms in front of his chest as he sat down on Naruto's bed. "Didn't tell you about what?" Naruto asked as she felt sweat gather in the back of her neck. "Don't play dumb. Nara told me about the death threats and the dead animals in your locker" Sasuke said and Naruto almost instantly relaxed. "Ah, that" she said and Sasuke's eyes widened slightly in anger. "Ah that? Is that all you have to say? Why didn't you tell me about it?!" he asked and Naruto looked at him.
"What could you have done about it?" she asked, getting a bit annoyed at the way he was talking to her. "I would have told them to stop" Sasuke said and Naruto huffed. "Yeah, why not? Defend the girl that they're jealous of because you give me so much attention. That'll calm them down" she said sarcastic and Sasuke frowned. "Why don't you trust me?" he asked and Naruto frowned too. "I do. why would you think I don't?" she asked and Sasuke uncrossed his arm to let them rest on his knees. "Then why won't you tell me anything?" he asked and Naruto's expression softened. "You don't tell me about the bullying, you didn't tell me about the threatening. I have no idea what's going on in your mind, except the things on the surface" Sasuke said and Naruto looked down.
"I am your fiancé, Naruto, but I'm also your friend. There is nothing wrong with relying on me" Sasuke said and the words made a small stab go through Naruto's chest. "I'm giving you distance so you can come to me on your own time, but it's been a week, Naruto. You can't expect me to stay silent when you're being threatened" Sasuke said and Naruto sighed as she got up. "It's just a few threats and a few dead animals, Sasuke. It's nothing I can't handle" she said as she sat down next to the raven and laid down on her back, covering her eyes with her arm. "I don't care if it's one or a thousand. It's too many. Naruto, why the hell are you so reluctant to lean on me?" Sasuke asked and Naruto frowned. "I'm not" she said and the Uchiha huffed. "Yes, you are" he said and Naruto removed her arm to send him a half glare.
"I just don't know if it's smart to share this information with you, that's all. There are things I'm not too clear about, and I don't want to speculate and bring anyone else in a situation where he is either in danger or has to take the blame for drawing hasty conclusions" Naruto said and Sasuke scoffed. "Hasty conclusions? Is this really coming from you, the do-before-I-think-idiot?" he asked and Naruto sighed. "Sasuke, I can't go over this lightly without thinking" she said and looked up at the ceiling. "Then tell me. I'm the smart one of us" Sasuke said and Naruto looked at him before sighing softly. "Have you heard of Orochimaru, Sasuke?" Naruto asked and the raven frowned. "Vaguely familiar. Someone must have mentioned it before or something. Why?" he asked and Naruto sighed as she closed her eyes. "Orochimaru is the guy that was saw at the concert. He's a kingpin from the underworld, one of the most dangerous ones out there, if not the most. He controls everything from weapon handles, loans, drugs, whores to even human experiments. He's not a normal crimelord" Naruto said and Sasuke put his chin on his fingers in a brooding position.
"Ridiculous. If he was, then there would be papers of him. Or at the very least leads to some of his crimes" Sasuke said and Naruto looked at him. "Unless he had a hacker by his side and his fingers deep into just about everything that has influence on the right system" she said and Sasuke looked at her. "A hacker? You don't mean?" he asked and Naruto nodded. "Yeah, Kabuto is Orochimaru's right hand man, he's a hacker and a spy. He's got a shitload of aliases and is pretty damned good at cleaning his tracks. If I had been any less persistent and creative, I wouldn't have found him to begin with" Naruto said and sat up. "What's worse, my dad, Jiraiya and our headmaster have tried to stop both Orochimaru and Kabuto, but that resulted in my parent's deaths" Naruto said and pushed her bang back tiredly as she leaned on her spread knees. "They didn't die in an accident, they were pushed off the road by Orochimaru, according to the last recoding of my dad's cellphone that I've been able to crack the code of. After that, since I was a target, Jiraiya took me across the country to get rid of everyone that was on my tail" Naruto said and looked at Sasuke.
While it felt good to get it off her chest, it also made it more real. As if she would have been able to chalk it up to paranoia and lucid dreaming. But Sasuke had always been able to make her talk, though she had to admit that she didn't put up too much of a fight at this moment. "Don't you get it, Sasuke? This guy is bad news. Really bad news. If we make one tiny little misstep, one slip up and they've got us. We can't tell anyone at the station, because Orochimaru might have spies there" Naruto said and Sasuke looked extremely put off by that possibility. "That's why I didn't tell you" Naruto said and looked in front of her at the wall that held her posters. "Now you'll constantly be thinking about who is a possible spy and that is a weakness Orochimaru will notice. We can't just do things without thinking it over a thousand times" Naruto said and Sasuke frowned. "You're off this case" he said after a tense silence and the blonde frowned. "What do you mean?" she asked confused and Sasuke looked at her. "You're off this case. I'm telling father that you've done your share and I'm getting you off this case. I'm not going to let you get hurt" Sasuke said and Naruto stared at him. "Excuse me?" she said and Sasuke reached into his pocket for his phone. "Oi, teme! What the hell are you thinking? Don't decide things on your own" Naruto said as she grabbed Sasuke's wrist to stop him.
"I am going to decide this, Naruto. I am your future husband and I'm not letting you get hurt. That's final. We'll be able to make do with what you told me now" Sasuke said firm and cold and Naruto grimaced at him. "Who the hell do you think you are to order me around like that and decide things for me without asking me how I feel about it?" she snarled and felt her temper rise. Was this how he would react every time she told him something? "I don't need to. You're too ignorant of your own limits to make judgements that will ensure your safety. You don't care about yourself, you only care about others not getting hurt. But I don't care about others if you're the one who is getting hurt" Sasuke said, also getting riled up by the defiance in his fiancée's blue eyes, no matter how stunning they currently looked. "I can take it!" Naruto said as she stood up in anger. "Don't think you can boss me around and tell me what I can take and what not! I know what I can handle and what not" she yelled, as if a dam had burst and she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore.
"You obviously don't" Sasuke hissed as he too stood up, towering over the blonde. "You're reckless and you don't think things through. Whenever there is someone who looks even remotely in trouble, you'd jump off a fucking bridge into the water if it made them feel better. You are so easily fooled that you'd even get hurt for an enemy. You're bullheaded, rash, irresponsible, idiotically courageous with a hero-complex. You have no regard for your own safety and so stupidly kind that you'll get taken advantage of all the time. You're loyal to a fault and so dependent on what others think of you. They force you into things that you don't want to do, but you do it anyway because you fear that they will think badly of you. But in the end, you're always the one getting hurt!" Sasuke said, practically screaming the last part. He had seen it happen, time after time. When Naruto had been shunned for the birthmarks on her cheeks, she had actually worn masks because the other kids told her to. He had beaten those bullies up and taken the scolding like a man. She had only taken off the mask when he had made fun of it and thrown it in a pond. He could remember many more instances like that, way too much for his liking.
"I hate all those traits of you because they drive me fucking crazy! Why the hell do you care about others so much?! I am not good enough?!" Sasuke yelled and noticed how Naruto's determination had faltered during his rant. "You are mine, Naruto. Is it really such a crime that I want to protect what is mine?" Sasuke asked and Naruto clenched her fists, obviously not knowing what she was currently feeling, but it was a whole lot. "Stop fucking thinking that you don't have any limits to what you can take. You're a girl, for god's sake" Sasuke said and realized that he had said the wrong thing when Naruto's glare came back. "That's it? Because I'm a girl?!" she hissed up at him, jabbing him in the chest. "Because I'm a girl, you think I'm weak and that I can't do anything, is that it?! You know how strong I am! You've seen me fight and you've fought me yourself!" Naruto said and Sasuke gritted his teeth. "I know that, but you're not almighty, Naruto!" he snapped back but Naruto held firm under his glare. "Neither are you! I am strong, Sasuke! I can take care of myself!" she said and Sasuke took a step closer to her.
"There is nothing wrong with letting me take care of you!" he said and Naruto grabbed his collar. "Of course there is! I can take care of myself, Sasuke! I don't need someone to hover around me like some kind of hero trying to save a damsel in distress! I'm not some weak pathetic girl that can't do anything for herself!" Naruto said and Sasuke's eye twitched. He grabbed her wrist in sweep her legs from under her body without a second of doubt. Naruto braced herself for the impact but barely had any time to defend herself against the raven before she was pinned to the ground with her arms together far above her head and Sasuke straddling her. "But you're still a girl" he hissed and Naruto felt her anger once again flare as other feelings raised their heads again. But most of the time, anger was so much easier to understand.
She placed her feet flat on the ground and moved to back the raven off her. Sasuke noticed it from the second she moved her leg and he shifted until he had forced her legs flat before he dug his knee into her thigh. Naruto continued to struggle, baffled over the fact that she couldn't get free at all. Sasuke's hands around her wrists were burning and his knee was a blunt force in her thigh, but she had no room to move. "Are you done now?" Sasuke asked cold as Naruto stopped struggling to catch her breath. She glared up at him, feeling a shiver run down her spine with the intensity he was looking at her. She felt her mouth go dry as she swallowed thickly. Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest as she ran her tongue over her lips nervously, feeling another shiver as dark eyes were glued to her lips. Her breathing hitched as Sasuke leaned in closer, his lips practically smashing against hers. He had held back just before their teeth would have clashed together, but the intensity was there even when Sasuke pulled back almost right after but still stayed close enough so she could feel his breathing ghosting over her lips.
As far as first kisses went, this was not how she imagined her first one to be. She had wanted to give, not have it stolen. And she certainly hadn't wanted it to be during a heated discussion. But then again, this was her and Sasuke. It didn't exactly surprise her either. Before she could stop to think about what she was doing, she reached back up again, closing her eyes as she pressed her lips against the raven's slightly chapped ones. The reaction was instantly as Sasuke moved his free hand to cup her cheek and pull her as close as possible while eagerly moving his lips against hers. This time when Naruto twisted her hands, Sasuke released his tight grip, shivering when her hands immediately moved to embrace him, one knotted in his hair and the other on his back between his shoulder-blades. Their lips moved together with uncoordinated inexperience, but they soon found out what felt natural and what didn't, adjusting to it effortlessly for more pleasure. Sasuke moved his knee off the blonde's thigh, forcing her knees to part without getting any resistance. In a bold move, Sasuke let his tongue dart out, licking the seam of her lips slowly until she parted them, eagerly giving him the opening to go further.
A moan left Naruto's lips as their tongue's met, sending a shiver up Sasuke's spine and his blood southward. The feeling of their tongues sliding together was foreign, but not unpleasant and Naruto found herself chasing for more. Her mind was cloudy in lust and she lifted her knee up against Sasuke's hip. Sasuke's hand going from where it had been in her hair to her hip felt like fire, scorching through her clothes and leaving nothing but ashes behind. Another moan left her throat as she felt his muscles ripple under her hand as Sasuke shifted above her. She clenched her fist in his shirt, dragging it up before releasing it and slipping her arm around his waist instead. Her fingers brushed against his rock hard abs before they landed on his back, revelling in the shake breath she had drawn from him. They broke apart, only to breath before connecting again, desperate for more. By then, they were both panting, yet had nowhere near enough to be satisfied.
Naruto used her grip on the raven to pull him closed, feeling him give easily as he lowered his body against hers. Naruto arched her back into the heat of the solid body above hers, forgetting completely about what they had been talking about before. The nagging voice in the back of her mind had finally shut up as she drowned in Sasuke. His body resting on top of her without pressing her down with his full weight, his lips sensually and hungry on hers, taking whatever he could get, his hand clutching desperately at her shirt, as if he was trying to hold back from something. She didn't want that. He didn't need to hold back. She wanted more. Much more. She wanted everything. She wanted him. With a start, she came back to herself, as if awaking from a daze. Breaking the kiss, she pushed him away and crawled back, out from under his tempting body. Sasuke blinked confused as he looked at her, both of them breathing hard as they stared at the other.
"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked in a rough, low voice. Had he done something wrong? Had he gone too far? No, she had been just as eager, hadn't she? He studied her dishevelled state, the alluring blush on her face, the averted dilated eyes that stood wide, her well-formed chest heaving up and down in quick pants, the high pitch breathy moans replaying in his head. "Y-you've made your point, okay" Naruto said, desperately trying to even out her breath. Her eyes stung as she kept them firmly on the ground in front of her as she pulled up her knees. "What?" Sasuke said confused and Naruto closed her eyes. "You've made your fucking point, okay?! I'm just a powerless girl who's weak to what people do to me! Are you happy now?!" Naruto snapped and Sasuke sat up on his knees. "Hey, that not-" "Leave!" Naruto hissed as she kept her eyes firmly closed, her hands trembling as she clenched them into fists. "Naruto" Sasuke said, trying to reach out to his fiancée. "Get out, Sasuke!" Naruto all but yelled, making Sasuke flinch back before looking down on the ground.
With a thick swallow, he got up off the ground. Without saying anything, he walked to the door, pausing to look at the blonde before sighing and closing the door behind him. He leaned against it and covered his eyes with his hand as he took a shaky breath. He had messed up and he had no idea how to fix it. As soon as the door was closed, Naruto opened her eyes to look at it, clenching her hand in her shirt above her heart. Why did something that felt so good, have to hurt so bad? Tears prickled in her eyes as they blurred her vision while she got up. A wet feeling against her upper-thigh made her shiver, feeling disgusted with herself that she had fallen so badly for his scheme to prove his point. She crawled under her blanket as she pushed her face into her pillow trying to mask her cries. Had it really been a scheme to convey his point? Had it really been only that or was she just over-reacting? Would Sasuke even go that far to prove his point? He hadn't said she was weak, but he had continuously hung on that she was a girl. Had she been too hasty with thinking Sasuke meant it in a bad way? Fuck, why the hell was she so confused? She didn't like to be confused. She didn't like any of the feelings going through her at this point. Nobody had ever told her about how this would feel or how she should deal with this.
Three knocks on her door shook the blonde awake, as she blearily blinked her stinging eyes open. "Naruto? It's time for breakfast, are you coming?" Itachi's soothing voice came and Naruto looked up. She wasn't hungry, but she wasn't going to waste food either. "I'll be there" she called back, flinching at how her own voice sounded. She got out of her bed, surprised that she had overslept and was quick to brush her teeth before going down the stairs, not even giving herself one glance in the mirror. In the dining-room where they were all seated for Sunday morning breakfast, Naruto's eyes immediately landed on Sasuke, noticing the black lines under his half-lidded eyes as if he hadn't slept the whole night. Everyone noticed in which shape the two teens were as they didn't even look at each other while Naruto sat down, mumbling a 'goodmorning'. Luckily, they didn't mention it as they started eating the breakfast pastires that were presented in the middle of the table. Neither Naruto nor Sasuke said a word, which left it to Mikoto and Itachi to fill the silence since Fugaku never talked much during his meal. But it was also unnerving for him to see their normally cheery blonde so down. It seemed like the room had gotten a few tints darker, even though that was all in their heads.
"I'm done" Sasuke said soft, his voice slightly fragile as he stood up. "Can I go?" he asked as he looked at his parents who nodded. Naruto looked hurt at her plate where a half-eaten cream horn was laying. There was a pregnant silence for the continuation for breakfast until a loud, sharp slap startled the three Uchiha. Their heads shot up at the blonde who was looking in front of her with a determined expression and burning cheeks. She reached out for the pastries in the middle and loaded up two more horns on her own before standing up. "Sorry, gotta go" she said vague before storing off behind Sasuke, to her own room. The three Uchiha's blinked at the hasty retreat before Fugaku heaved a sigh. "She's so much like Kushina. The same force of nature" he commented but it was good-hearted. "As long as they solve it" Itachi said as Mikoto smiled. "They kissed" she said and the two men stared at her. "Did Sasuke tell you?" Itachi asked and she gave her two boys a secretive smile. "Call it women's intuition. But they'll be fine. if there is anyone who's really bad at giving up, it's Naruto" she said and the two males heaved a sigh. They knew just how bad Naruto was with giving up. In fact, as far as they knew, she had never given up on anything before.
