Chapter NINE

AN - I kept my word. This chapter has more than one lemon, or so I'm planning. Another way graphic scene with lots of violence and evilness between Keira and Itachi, and maybe a little later, Kisame. I don't suggest skipping this chapter though, it has a lot of vital information about Kiyoshi, that you'll need to know for the rest of the story to make sense.

AN2 - I don't intend to make this entirly Sasuke and Keira. Naruto gets his romantic moments with her too, though, so don't worry, all is not lost. And don't forget the deaths. Yes people, quite a few of them!!!

Sasuke appeared in front of Keira's house. She was waiting for him on the balcony, two storys up. She smiled and waved down. Sasuke noticed she'd changed into a see through black robe and her hair was down. She'd whiped the make up off her eyes, but left the red lipstick on. He couldn't help but notice that the robe she was wearing was tied loosely and it opened to show her chest. He blushed, then focused his chakra on his feet and jumped, landing gracefully on the balcony in front of her. "Impresive." she whispered, kissing him. When she pulled away, she noticed Sasuke was panting.

"We're really going to do this?" he asked. Keira smiled.

"If you want to." she said. When he nodded, she pushed him back through the doorway leading to the bedroom next to Keira's and closed the door behind her. The bedroom was all black and blue. The carpet was black, and the walls were blue. The curtains were black, along with the comforter on the queen sized bed. She turned and noticed Sasuke gaping at her body like a hungry dog. "You like it? I had it made a year ago. For really hot summer nights, ya know?" she said, lifting her arm and rubbing the side of his neck that posessed the curse seal. Sasuke shivered and nodded.

"You really are beautiful." he said, pressing his palm to her chest. Keira blushed and pushed him back onto her bed. She smirked as he closed his eyes, ready for her to kiss him. She straddled his hips and leaned down. Sasuke reached up and grabbed her shoulders. He began to slide the see through material off her, stopping when it exposed her chest fully. He blushed, but couldn't stop staring at her. She smirked and pressed her chest against his. She didn't hesitate to pull his boxers off. He blushed the hardest she'd seen yet. The last thing she pulled off him was the forehead protector.

She untied the robe and pulled it off, crawling back into the bed. Sasuke moaned as she kissed his neck. She swung her leg over him and straddled his stomach just above his hips, her hands were pressed against his chest. "You sure you want to?" she asked. He nodded. She put his hands on her hips and let him guide her. Before either of them knew it, he was inside her. They both moaned as she rocked back and forth, her fingernails digging into his skin. Sasuke kept his hands on her hips and followed her movements. She bit her lip and clung to his shoulders as another wave of pleasure racked her body. Sasuke's heart soared when she moaned his name. Not Itachi's, but his own. It was a personal satisfaction that she'd slept with him of her own accord, and he hadn't had to force himself on her.

Sasuke had never experienced anything like this. She felt so good. It was burning him, but in a good way. The fire spreading through his body was becoming more intense, and it started to make him wonder why the curse seal wasn't activating. Usually, extreme emotions like this set it off. Keira herself had said she'd delt with this before. Maybe she was keeping it in check while she encreased her speed. He couldn't take it anymore. She screamed his name as the fire erupted through his veins. She collapsed on him and he wrapped his arms around her protectivly.

"That was amazing." he sighed. Keira nodded and buried her face into the crook of his neck. Before he could blink, she had covered them with the comforter. She was pulling away from him, getting ready to leave. He grabbed her hand and pulled her down next to him. "Stay with me." he said. She nodded and lifted the comforter. She crawled under it and snuggled up to him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder as she rested her head on his chest.

Sasuke awoke the next morning to find Keira missing from his side. He sighed and sat up, fully intent on putting his clothes back on, but they were missing. He groaned and searched the room for anything else he could pass off as clothing. As if on cue, Keira walked into the room holding his clothes and a few others. She set them on the dresser.

"Sleep well?" she asked. Sasuke nodded and tried to stand. Keira giggled and pushed him back down on the bed. She tossed his original clothes to him and turned her back to finish putting the rest of his new clothes away. Sasuke blushed but began pulling them on. Keira watched his relfection in the mirror, mentally laughing at herself the whole time. When he was done, he glanced at her only to find she'd already looked away. Sasuke grumbled to himself. He was sure she was watching him. Keira walked over to him and sat on the bed next to him.

She was wearing a tight white halter top and another white mini skirt. Sasuke blushed and stared at her. She smiled at him and kissed his cheek. Then she stood up and grabbed his hand. She led him out of the room and down the hallway. Sasuke was too embaressed to talk, and Keira was just to spaced out to bring it up. She led him through the hallways to her kitchen.

"Hungry?" she asked. He glanced at her, and nodded. She sighed and walked over to the cabinet. She opened it and Sasuke's jaw dropped.

"That's the most food I've ever seen in one place..." he gasped. There were rows of food, piled high and it streatched around the entire room. Sasuke ran over to the fridge and opened it. He grabbed whatever he thought looked good and started cramming it piece by piece into his mouth. Keira watched him in overwhelming amusment.

"Guess you were hungry..." she mumbled. Sasuke blushed and slowed down.

"Sorry..." he mumbled back.

"It's okay, you haven't had anything to eat for a while now. Well, real food anyway. Go ahead. I'm gonna go take a shower." she said, walking through a door to another hallway. She gave Sasuke a backward glance. He just kept staring at her. She sighed in disbelief and he blushed. "Geeze Uchiha, you're worse than I am." she said, walking over to him. He couldn't look her in the eye so he stared at the floor.

"I can't help it..." he mumbled. Keira smiled at him and told him to go back to his room. She'd meet him there in six minutes. Sasuke nodded and left.

Keira made her way to his room, wearing a bright pink bath robe. She arrived at his door and knocked. He opened it and smiled at her. She quirked her eyebrow to see if he was ready. "Oh, right, sorry." he said, closing the door behind him. He was just in his boxers again. She smirked and took his hand.

The bathroom Keira had chosen was apparently the fanciest and the biggest. There was no shower, or toilet, but there was a huge bath three feet deep. The way it was set up, there was a ledge on the side about a foot and a half under water where you could sit. It was natural looking, with rocks and stones on the side of it. The water was sparkaling blue and the floor was wooden. Keira pulled off her robe and lowered herself into the water. Sasuke pulled his boxers off while she wasn't looking and got in. Her eyes darted to him.

Keira swam over to him and pushed him back against the edge of the bath. She pressed her lips against his roughly. His hands traced their way all over her body. She moaned and trailed kisses down his jaw bone. She reached his neck, on the opposite side of the curse seal, and trailed her tongue from the crook of his neck to his jaw line. She grazed his ear with her teeth. Sasuke's hands found their way to her hips and heaved her onto the ledge of the bath, into his lap. She sat up on her knees and began to lower herself onto him.

Suddenly, she stopped herself and reached her hand out, pressing it over the curse seal. Sasuke hadn't even noticed it when it activated. She pulled her hand away and stared at it. He saw the blood begin to drip from her palm. He wriggled out from underneath her to get a better look. There, burned on her palm, was the curse seal.

"What happened?" he asked worridly. Keira's attention snapped back to him.

"Kiyoshi... was the one with the seal. He tried to fight Itachi to save me, but he ended up dying. He knew he was going to, so he wrote me that letter. He left everything he owned to me. In the end, most of it was trash, he never really stayed in one spot long enough to have anything of value. But there was a diamond ring, he told me to wear at all times and I'd never forget him. He gave me a white rose the last time I saw him. I still have it, and it's been reinforced with chakra to keep it alive. Right before he left, he took me back to his apartment and we..." she trailed off.

"You don't have to say it, I already know what you did." he said. He gave her a nod and told her to go on.

"The seal was totally activated when he died. I tried to save him, he would have lived if it weren't for the seal eating away at his chakra. I'd tried too hard though and it burned the seal's mark onto my hand. That's how I got my bloodline limit. He was the one who'd taught me how to receed the curse when it was at it's worst." she took a deep breath and glanced at him.

"Keep going..." he said, rubbing her shoulders. She seemed cold all of a sudden.

"He... He taught me what life really was. After the death of my parents I got really depressed and I even tried to kill myself. Kiyoshi saved me. He kept yelling at me, saying I didn't know what it was like to feel misery. At least I had a place to come home to. He inspired me to become a ninja after I was attacked by Itachi. He helped me calm down, and finally, a year after my attack, I was able to have a normal relationship without thinking of Itachi at all. Although, it is a lot harder with you..." she said, smiling at him.

"So I owe him a lot." he mumbled. Keira smiled and kissed his cheek again.

"Almost as much as I do." she whispered, pushing him back and sitting on him again. "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt anymore. Plus, I did promise." she said, breathing on the seal. In an instant, Sasuke was back in the mood. He grabbed her hips and pulled her down slowly. She moaned as he lifted her up again. "You're getting good at this." she whispered in his ear.

"It's only my second time." he moaned back.

"That's all it takes." she said, squeezing his shoulder. He kept guiding her, slowly loosing the embaresment he'd felt since last night. He let her take over and cupped her breasts. She blushed and wrapped her fingers in his hair. She screamed one last time and collapsed on him, splashing water everywhere.

Keira and Sasuke were sitting in her bedroom, quietly enjoying each other's company. She was brushing her hair in front of the mirror, while Sasuke sat behind her on the bed. He was watching her with a dazed expresion. She put the brush down and turned to smile at him. He snapped out of his day dream and smiled back.

"How do you like it here?" she asked, walking over to him and sitting down next to him. Sasuke smirked.

"It's okay, I guess." he said, sticking his nose in the air. He crossed his arms in front of his chest. Keira quirked an eyebrow.

"Oh really, I do have more than one bedroom ya know. You don't have to be here." she snapped. Sasuke's smirk faded.

"I was kidding!" he yelped. Keira dived on him.

"I know!" she said, pushing herself off him. She pulled off her bath robe and put on the bikini part of her ninja outfit. Sasuke gave her an odd look when she turned back around and threw a pair of swimming trunks at him. He barley caught them. "Hurry up and put em on!" she said, walking out of the room. Sasuke did as he was told, and set his forehead protector on her table, then followed her out of the room.

She was waiting for him at the end of the hallway. She was wearing the black robe from the night before. She waved for him to follow her. He ran down the hallway after her. They left the building and walked to the town square. "Where are we going?" he asked. Keira pointed at the horizon. "We're leaving?" he asked in confusion.

"No... I want you to see the ocean." she said, guiding him along a path that slowly faded from gravel to sand. She walked in silence, staring at the moon with a small smile.

"The days don't last long here do they? It's night all the time." he said, staring at the moon too. Keira nodded as she clasped her hands behind her back.

"Yeah..." she said solemly. Sasuke caught up with her.

"Is something wrong?" he asked gently. She shook her head and smiled at him, though she made no attempt to wipe the tears from her cheeks.

"I'm okay." she said, adverting her eyes from his and running to the beach. Sasuke sighed and followed, becoming iritatingly aware of how much she surpassed him in power. By the time he arrived at the shoreline, she was already sitting with her feet in the water, and leaning back on her hands. He walked up to her, and sat down a few feet away. She gave him a confused look, but he refused to even glance at her.

She stood and walked away from him, heading in the direction of the moon. Suddenly, he heard her gasp and she started running. His eyes drifted to her footprints, only to find her fallen tears. He stared up at the moon, wondering why she invited him if she was going to get worked up over Kiyoshi and run away. He felt bad for her, it must have been hard being home again. He could tell she wasn't the most popular in her family, and the villiagers held little to no respect for her at all.

He figured it was because of her sister, Jetta Shinohara. Jetta was jelous because Takashi didn't love her, he loved Keira. But, Keira was in love with Kiyoshi. And from the sounds of things, that only fuled Jetta's anger. For all he knew, Kiyoshi was a rouge ninja.

Keira stopped running and stared at the moon. She could feel him again. He was so close. She felt a hand clamp down on her shoulder and tears came to her eyes. "Kiyoshi..." she whispered as she spun around. Itachi was glaring at her. He slapped her and she was flung to the ground, where she lay gasping for air between her sobs.

"He's dead damn it!" Itachi snapped. He grabbed her arm and yanked her off the ground. "You hear that? HE'S GONE!" he yelled. Keira just cried harder and let him throw her down. She hit the sand, landing on her back and staring at the moon again. A fresh wave of tears came to her eyes. "Your precious Kiyoshi died and here you are, giving yourself up to my little brother." he growled.

"That's it isn't it?" she asked, her voice still shaking. "You're just jelous that your weak little brother makes a better lover than you?!" Itachi's anger snapped. He yanked her up by her hair and crushed her to him, kissing her roughly. Keira yelped and tried to push him away. It didn't take long before she felt the familiar burning feeling in her heart and her head began to pound. Her body became unusually heavy and she collapsed into him. She glared into his eyes, seeing that he had indeed activated the Sharingan.

"No..." she whispered. He smiled twistedly and kissed her again. This time she watched as her body reacted, her hands slipping around his neck. She felt Sasuke's chakra aproaching and tried to fight back even harder. Before she could do anything, she heard someone gasp. Itachi threw Keira to the ground and spun around to glare at Sasuke. Keira began to regain some control of her body, which ached horribly.

She lifted herself to watch the fight, and realized that the robe she'd warn was open and her ninja outfit was torn down the middle, leaving it hanging from around her neck. She reached her numb arms up and untied it, throwing it to the ground next to her. She was totally exposed now, with the exception of the lower half of the bikini, and the black see through robe covering her. A wave of fatigue over came her and she braced herself on her hands. She couldn't move to cover herself up at all.

Sasuke ran toward Itachi, fully intent on killing him. Suddenly, he froze. It was only for a brief second, then he came to his senses and charged at him again. Keira realized Itachi'd used the Sharingan on him. She couldn't understand why, it would only make Itachi weaker and Sasuke more intent on killing him. Before Sasuke could come within two feet of Itachi, the older brother dissapeared. Sasuke froze in his spot.

Itachi reapeared behind Keira and grabbed her around the waist, heaving her to her feet. He leaned her head to the side. "You'll pay for that coment." he said in her ear, though it was just loud enough for Sasuke to hear it too. He threw her to the ground and dissapeared. Sasuke ran over to her and propped her up in his lap.

"Just what the hell do you think you're doing?" he yelled. Tears welled up in her eyes as he slapped her. It was the first time he'd ever shown any sign of physical agression toward her at all, not counting training.

"It's not what you think..." she said, staring up at him. Sasuke glared at her, then his eyes softened and he helped her stand. She tried to walk but collapsed. Sasuke caught her in mid fall.

"Don't push yourself." he said, kneeling down and letting her climb on his back. He wrapped his arms around her legs and stood again. She clung to his neck as he began walking to her house.
