Author's Note:
Yes – I know it's been awhile since I have updated this story and I'm sorry.
I needed to rewrite a couple of sections because I wasn't happy with it.
So – that last round:
OMG, people… I got the impression that I made a lot of the readership's weekend.
Those folks that weren't still twitching on the floor and recovering from blood loss seemed to be in the mood to leave me reviews… and ahhh, what reviews they were!
LOL – I am beginning to see that you little closet voyeurs don't seem to mind waiting on my sorry ass to post the rounds… and I love you for it! XD
Okay – a couple of concerns have been brought to my attention and need to be addressed:
Concern number one: I have had readers requesting to see more Gaara/Sakura action in this story.
My response: I have decided to keep their scenes to what is necessary for the story because they have the potential to overshadow the main pairing and that's not what I want.
This is a Kankuro/Ino pairing story and they deserve top billing.
However – since there has been quite a response, I have decided that there will be a side story to this one that will concentrate on Gaara's courtship of Sakura.
Concern number two: It has been brought to my attention that the sex scenes in the story are a little too much for some readers, despite the warnings in the author's notes.
I have decided after much soul searching that I won't be changing or posting an alternate version. I have however added indicators in the round so folks can skip ahead if they do not wish to read the naughty bits.
This round is dedicated to my loyal readers and my two incredibly talented beta readers.
Thank you – you make writing a joy and a true pleasure.
Special thanks to my two pre-readers: wonderwoman29 and tomboygirl21.
Right now – this is the raw chapter and is subject to revision at a later date. The beta readers are busy having a life. (Author does a Jiraiya style thumbs up sign.)
A sentence in Italics denotes the private thoughts of a character.
This round contains scenes of a decidedly sexual nature, violence and a lot of bad language.
Okay – This round also contains a pole dancing scene as well as a citrus scene.
Again - if this kind of thing offends you, then you shouldn't be reading this story!
Some info for you:
Takaisaimi Sake is produced in the Tottori Prefecture and is said to be crisp and delicate in flavor.
Source for Sake Information: sake world. (Yes, that's the name of the website.)
PDA - public displays of affection. (Yes – some folks don't know what it means.)
The song that Ino does her routine at the stripclub is Superstar by Saliva. The lyrics are shown throughout the scene.
A ten thousand yen note is roughly eighty-three US dollars and yes, Ino is definitely worth a tip of that size. Yee-haw!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters. I don't make a red cent out of this either. Enjoy my beautiful people, enjoy.
Round 10 – Happy Times indeed
Four Days Later...
Kankuro shot the laughing blond a dirty look. It had been better part of a week since that embarrassing little incident and she still thought the whole situation was funny.
The puppeteer reached back and gingerly touched the large lump the size of a goose egg on the back of his head before dropping his hand away from the still sore spot.
"You know... you're lucky that you've got such a hard head and we didn't need to go to the hospital for stitches." murmured that annoyingly cheerful voice before two arms draped around his neck.
"And I keep telling you that you grossly underestimate just how incredibly sexy I find you." groaned Kankuro as he felt her soft lips touch the swollen and still angry looking lump.
"Well, thanks to you...I am never going to make that mistake again." replied Ino with a soft smile, moving one hand up to his scalp.
The sand nin winced slightly as he felt her fingers gently probed the sight with a little healing chakra.
"Ahhh... Ino... are you almost done, sweetheart? It's starting to sting a little." grouched Kankuro softly.
"I'm done, baka..." murmured the blonde, placing a kiss behind his ear.
"Vixen... we don't have time for that right now..." replied the puppeteer with a sexy groan, feeling her tongue tracing the shell of his ear.
"Oh… I don't mind having another shower…later. I will be happy to scrub your back." murmured Ino seductively.
The puppeteer bit back the groan rising to his lips and sighed, "I wish we had the time for a quickie…but we need to get going, beautiful."
Kankuro tried to hold back the smirk when he heard her let out a very unladylike snort before she shifted away and off the bed.
She's so damn insatiable... thank kami...
"Do you want to meet up for lunch today, Ayame...or are you going to be too busy with the girls?" asked Kankuro as he stood up and reached for a clean Yukata.
Ino was having a tough time answering the question. It didn't matter how many times she had seen her baka puppeteer naked...she found it was something that she couldn't get enough of.
The puppet nin grinned evilly as he realized that his beloved virago was a little distracted and decided that she wasn't distracted enough as he started to strip the dirty yukata off in a slow and erotic strip tease.
Ino felt her mouth suddenly go very dry at all that hard flesh being revealed to her avid gaze, one tantalizing section at a time.
The blood started to trickle slowly out of her nose when she noticed that he wasn't wearing anything under the garment, yet again.
"Damn it… you do that just to get a reaction out of me, don't you?" groaned Ino, wiping at the blood as the yukata dropped to the floor and a naked puppeteer prowled over to bathroom with the clean yukata flipped negligently over one shoulder.
"Yes… and best of all, it works every time." purred out Kankuro before closing the door behind him.
The blonde quickly glanced over at the clock and groaned.
She needed to get dressed or she was going to be late and it was never a good idea to keep Suki waiting.
Ino slid off the bed and padded softly over to the bathroom and tapped on the door before sliding it open to admire the slick muscled body outlined by the shower curtain.
"What's up, Ayame?" called out Kankuro with a smile on his lips as he heard the door slide open.
"I need to get dressed and meet up with Suki... but I'll see you this evening?" asked Ino, a little unsure.
The man chuckled and murmured, "That's fine, gorgeous...I'm heading over to The Rusty Kunai to have coffee with Louie, so I'll see you tonight then."
The blonde let out the breath she had been holding on and turned to leave but paused when she heard Kankuro call out, "Oh, Ayame?... be careful."
She turned to find his piercing green eyes looking back at her and smiled gently before softly replying, "Don't worry... Yukio. I have every intention of coming back just to torment you."
She left the bathroom then, the sound of Kankuro's delighted laughter echoing in the background.
----------- ------------------ ---------------
Later that morning...
"Lah, good thing that the patrons are too drunk to care that you have all the grace of a pregnant sow, Etsuko... Do it again! This time, put some effort into it, you lazy little bitch!" sniped the deep female voice from inside the building with the large garish neon sign on its roof.
Ino and her companion paused at the doorway and gave each other knowing smiles before pushing the door open.
"You're in fine form today, I see... Chi Chi." called out Suki with a small smirk adorning his lips from the doorway.
The owner of the Happy Times swiftly turned her elaborately coiffed head and clapped her large manicured hands in delight when she saw her two guests standing there.
Chi Chi gave a small wave before noting that the blonde had a large bag on her shoulder.
"Ayame...dearest, you brought your stuff again?" asked Chi Chi with a delighted grin on her bright red lips.
Ino flushed slightly before she replied, "Ahh, yes... Suki persuaded me... He's determined that I outshine the rest of the competition...to be honest, it wouldn't hurt if I could get more practice on the stage. You don't mind, do you – Chi Chi?"
The elegantly dressed woman shook her head and replied, "No – not at all, Ayame... the way some of these girls are going in their practice, you may actually show them something new."
The whispers of "fucking bitch" and "rotten old cow" could be heard drifting out from behind the beaded curtains.
Chi Chi gave her guests an evil and all knowing smile before her head swiveled around and she gazed at the rustling beaded curtain with narrowed eyes.
"Shut it, you little cows! If you had half the natural talent this young woman has, you'd be raking in the cash hand over fist." screeched Chi Chi.
"You sure I can't persuade you and that man of yours to stick around a little while longer?" wheedled Chi Chi batting her false eyelashes.
"No... sorry, Chi Chi... Yukio was lucky to get this much time off... his boss couldn't do without him a minute longer than he needs to..." replied Ino sadly, trying not to think about when Kankuro would need to head back to Suna after this mission was finally completed.
"Oh... sweetie... oh... oh... shit. It's okay..." murmured Chi Chi hurriedly when she saw that sad look in the blonde's eyes before looking over at where her friend Suki was standing, who merely nodded in understanding.
"Well, honey... Why don't you go and get ready? You can use the same dressing room as before... and don't worry about the girls... they heard what you did to Akashi, so they sure as hell don't want to get on your bad side." replied Chi Chi soothingly, gently pushing the petite woman towards the back stage area.
The brightly dressed pair quietly watched the woman disappear before Chi Chi asked, "This husband of hers is pretty hot looking, huh?"
Suki chortled and nodded, "Oh Kami...yes. The man is a moving violation! If I hadn't seen first hand how he looks at her, I would have made a play for the man myself!"
Chi Chi fanned herself with a large hand at that comment and asked, "And he still has no idea what you two have planned for him then?"
Suki grinned evilly before replying, "Not a clue."
Chi Chi nodded thoughtfully and murmured, "Well, don't worry Suki darling... I'll make sure this girl puts on a show that they will be talking about for weeks..."
Suki laughed in delight and countered, "I knew I could count on you, Chi Chi... of course, knowing these two are going to be in your establishment on Amateur night certainly isn't going to hurt business, is it?"
Chi Chi looked at the petite male in the colorful kimono aghast and replied, "You kidding me?! I'll be turning folks away in droves once this gets out on the gossip mill...especially the way that girl moves on stage... Why the hell do you think I agreed so readily to this scheme of yours?"
"She's good, isn't she?" murmured Suki with a smirk.
"Lah, Yukio is a very lucky man...but I have a feeling that poor girl is going to be in no condition to even twitch an eyelash after he's finished showing his...appreciation of her performance." returned Chi Chi with a small smile.
Suki chuckled knowingly and quietly countered, "That's what I'm counting on, Chi Chi... can you imagine the babies those two will have?"
Chi Chi clapped a large manicured hand to the front of her Kimono and groaned, "If he's half as handsome as you tell me... they're going to be gorgeous!"
Suki sighed dramatically and murmured, "Mah, about time you and I had some excitement in this tiny burg of ours."
Chi Chi nodded in agreement before replying sadly, "Lah... I know what you mean, Suki... this is certainly a welcome break from the routine, that's for sure... speaking of which..."
The large woman broke off abruptly, turned her attention to the stage and screeched, "ETSUKO! Get your narrow skinny ass back on stage, you lazy little cow! Today!!... not next week!"
Suki pulled out a chair and sat down, eager to see Ayame practice her number.
Yes... He doubted that their little village will ever recover from having these two visit... that's for sure.
---------------- ------------------- -------------------
Meanwhile in another part of town...
The burly bartender wiped the bead of moisture off the last glass and bent down to put it away, absently hearing the small tinkle of the bell as the door opened.
"So – you want your usual...Yukio?" called out the barrel chested man, not bothering to look up from his chore.
"Yeah...thanks... but not so strong this time... the sludge you served me yesterday barely qualified as coffee." murmured Kankuro with a small smirk placing a small bag onto the bar.
The man behind the bar stood up and gave the package a cursory glance before contemplating the man sitting in front of him.
"Is that what I think it is?" asked the bartender gruffly.
"It is... so - how about you throw out that shit you laughingly call coffee and brew us another pot with this stuff." replied Kankuro with a wry smile as he pushed the bag over to the large man.
He watched as the bartender picked up the bag with one strap and peered inside before looking over at Kankuro in surprise and gruffly murmur, "Where the hell did you get this?! This is the primo stuff!"
The sand nin let out a low and knowing chuckle and responded, "I have my ways, Louie... why don't you get a pot started and we'll see if it's as good as all the hype, hn?"
The bartender grinned before disappearing into a small room in the back and returning a little while later with a broad smile on his scarred face.
"It certainly smells a lot better than the other stuff...so – where did you get it?" questioned Louie as he leaned on his bar.
Kankuro laughed and replied, "Hisa over at the general store regularly special orders it in..."
The puppeteer watched in delight as the ruddy flush appeared on the big man's face at the mere mention of the petite shop keeper's name.
Funny enough – he knew exactly what the poor guy was going through. Ino always seem to be able to turn him inside out as well with just a look.
They heard the tell tale gurgling of the coffee pot finishing brewing and Louie pushed himself away from the bar.
He returned a short while later with two cups of the fragrant brew in hand.
Kankuro grabbed the cup with a relieved smile, taking a swallow before closing his eyes with a sigh, "Ahhhh! This is much, much better... don't you agree, Louie?"
The sand nin opened his eyes and saw the large man nodding in agreement.
They drank in companionable silence before Kankuro slid a hand down into his pocket, fishing out a folded piece of parchment and placing in on the bar.
"What the hell is that?" asked Louie suspiciously.
"Why don't you open it and find out, baka?" countered Kankuro slightly amused to see the man who could put the fear of god into a bunch of drunken regulars, break out into a sweat at the thought of reading a note from a small slip of a shop keeper.
Louie took a nervous swallow before reaching out and snatching the note out of the other man's hands.
The puppeteer drank his coffee in silence but started to get concerned when he saw the large man in front of him suddenly get rather pale.
"What's wrong?" asked Kankuro with a frown.
"She said yes... she'd love to go out on a date with me... she also wanted to know why the hell it took me so damn long to ask her." murmured Louie hoarsely.
The sand nin couldn't help it. He let out a knowing chuckle.
"I told her that you would pick her up Monday night at around seven pm...Just be yourself...remember to bathe, put on some good clothes to impress her and try to have fun...simple. " murmured Kankuro with a wry smile.
"Yeah... real simple. How do you deal with it, Yukio? I mean… no offense but your woman is only a little slip of a thing herself ….rather than being terrified, she gave my brother hell for touching her." responded the large bartender with a twist of his lips.
"Heheheh... you know the old saying, Louie... it's not the size of the dog in the fight but rather the size of the fight in the dog... tiny women just have no fear." countered Kankuro with a small smile before he took another sip of his coffee.
"Well, I'm still amazed as hell that Hisa wants to go out on a date with me." murmured Louie gruffly.
"The sooner you accept that Hisa has already gotten you bagged and tagged...the better off you will be. Hell – I've seen the way she looks at you... you're already hers as far as she's concerned." replied Kankuro with a knowing smirk.
"What?! I don't understand... I'm not much to look at... I'm covered in scars... I own the roughest bar in town, for Kami's sake!" countered the bartender in disbelief.
"It doesn't matter... as far as she's concerned, you're hers and heaven help any woman stupid enough to make the mistake of trying to take what belongs to her." finished Kankuro with a heartfelt groan.
"So, the gossips weren't exaggerating about that incident in the restaurant were they?" murmured Louie, the curiosity apparent in his tone.
"Hell no... the poor girl never stood a chance... Ayame didn't care that I had turned the woman down either." replied Kankuro with a wolfish smile.
"Holy Hell..." murmured Louie in awe.
"Yeah...but I sure as hell wouldn't want her any other way though." said the sand nin with a goofy smile.
"Yeah... I guess not." replied Louie knowingly.
Louie looked down at the bar surface thoughtfully before finally murmuring, "Well, I better not disappoint Hisa then."
Kankuro grinned in delight and replied, "That's the spirit, Louie...now, how was your evening?"
Louie took a sip of the coffee and gave a heartfelt groan before grumbling, "I had some strange ones in last night... and that's saying something for this place."
Kankuro hooded his eyes as the calculated gleam emerged in their emerald depths while he took a sip of his coffee and quietly murmured, "Do tell..."
He hated fooling people... especially when they were as nice as Suki and Louie but business came first before the pleasure of socializing and he still had a mission to complete.
--------------------------------------------------------
Ino watched in mild amusement as the colorful man opened the door of the shop and sashayed over to a rack of costumes, leaving her to trail in after him.
"Suki...tell me again why do I need to find another outfit? I don't understand why I can't just wear the Milk Maid to..." broke off the blonde when she saw the effeminate man look up from his perusal of the clothing rack with a horrified expression on his face.
"No, no...sweetie... You never, ever, wear a bedroom gift to strip in...never - not with a husband like yours..." replied Suki in all seriousness.
"Oh." murmured Ino suddenly feeling foolish and embarrassed.
A colorful arm draped over the young woman's shoulders as Suki responded with a small tinkling laugh, "It's okay, Ayame... You weren't to know."
"So – that outfit is known as ...a bedroom gift?" asked Ino, now curious.
"Honey, anything that is purchased for the sole purpose of the man's personal entertainment is usually considered a bedroom gift, which means that you don't wear it in public... and most especially NOT for the entertainment of other men... BIG no-no." lectured the gay man with a gentle smile.
"So – I can't wear... anything from it?" wailed Ino in despair.
She loved that outfit... more importantly – she loved the effect she had on Kankuro in that outfit!
"You just can't wear the outfit, sweetie... the shoes and stockings are fine." murmured Suki with a knowing look.
Ino reached out and fingered a black fishnet outfit for a moment before giving the flamboyant man a concerned look and whispering, "I don't think I can wear anything as revealing as this though, Suki."
That's because you're no whore, darling...
Suki clucked his tongue and murmured soothingly, "Lah – sweetie... you don't need to reveal a lot of skin to put on a good show."
"I don't...?" asked Ino in surprise.
"No... it's called a strip tease for a reason, darling. Why the hell should you give those drunken bums a look at your goodies?" replied the gay man with a sniff.
Suki removed his arm and walked over to another rack of clothes, a bejewelled hand riffling the coat hangers.
"So – what type of outfit should I look for then, Suki?" asked the young woman looking through another rack of outfits.
The shop owner stood up and tapped a manicured finger against his chin before his eyes lit up and he exclaimed with a wave of his hands, "I got it! We provide your audience with a fantasy... so uniforms are a good place to start."
"Okay, how about this?" asked Ino holding up a school girl uniform with a bright red tartan skirt.
Not if you don't want to put on a live sex show with that yummy hubby of yours...
oh dear... is that blood?
"No, darling... school girl is SOOO overdone." said Suki outloud, taking a dab at his nose with a lace handkerchief.
"Naughty Nurse?" asked Ino hopefully, holding up a white PVC nurse's outfit.
DITTO... that outfit is just asking for trouble with this woman's man.. especially if he wants her to give him a public sponge bath...
(drool)
...but maybe as a bedroom gift, perhaps?
"No... the PVC dress would get a little slick under those lights... and there's nothing worse than an overly shiny body, Ayame." replied Suki with a small grimace, dabbing at the side of his mouth with the corner of the handkerchief.
This continued for a while.
"Cop?"
Only if Chi Chi and I can watch you put the handcuffs on Yukio!!
"Overdone, sweetie."
"Playboy bunny?"
Only if Yukio dresses up as a Playgirl centerfold... yummies!
"No."
Ino was at a loss as to what she should wear after nearly an hour of the gay man vetoing every outfit she lifted up for inspection before giving the Milk Maid costume a longing look.
It was a shame that she couldn't just wear that... it was sexy without being slutty.
She gave the wall a cursory glance but found her eyes drawn to one outfit in particular.
"How about that?" asked Ino with a confident smile, pointing to the ensemble on the wall.
The man turned to see what she pointing at and felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the outfit.
Lah – that's the perfect outfit to attract a predator like Yukio...
"Perfect and I have the most darling little two piece that you can wear underneath it!" murmured Suki as the most perverted smile appeared on his lips and refused to leave.
------------------------------------------------------------
Gaara drummed his fingers impatiently on the surface of the table as he waited for his brother to report in for the day.
He was in a foul mood and he was hoping that Kankuro would have some good news or even some advice to help ease the gnawing frustration he felt whenever he was in the same room as his pink haired tormentor.
She was still mad at him for that little stunt in the kitchen yesterday but in his own defense, he found that he couldn't help but take her up on her innocent offer.
The Kazekage smirked knowingly as he absently touched his left cheek, remembering the slap she delivered him, despite his ultimate defense.
The scroll in front of him glowed, letting him know that his sibling was trying to contact him.
Gaara unsealed the scroll and saw Kankuro's message waiting for him on the parchment.
"Good afternoon, lord Kazekage... how is your hunting going today?"
The red haired man's smirk got wider as he picked up the pen and wrote:
"She's got claws... I'll give her that... managed to slap me before the sand did its job."
He smiled as he could see his brother shrugging as his words appeared.
So, what happened to get that kind of reaction?
Gaara tapped the end of the pen against his lips, his eyes gleaming in unholy delight as he got lost in his reminisce.
Well? It must be good if you're not immediately writing a reply...
The Kazekage put pen to paper and wrote:
"Oh, it was... I came into the kitchen to get something to eat and found her sitting at the table eating a stack of pancakes... She asked me if I wanted some, so I told her that I would just have a small taste..."
There was a pause before a message started appearing on the message scroll,
"So, how was it?"
Gaara grinned evilly as he wrote:
"Sweet and very addicting... the pancakes were not bad either."
The red head could well imagine the shit eating grin now adorning his brother's face as his message appeared on the scroll.
Mwhoahahahah... you're lucky she didn't punch you through a wall... that would have been tough to explain to the Hokage...
The Kazekage glanced over at the door before allowing himself a small chuckle before he started writing.
Well, she didn't seem to mind the attention until she finally came down from that kiss I laid on her... then she decided to smack me because she was feeling embarrassed. Speaking of embarrassment – how is your head?
Gaara smirked as Kankuro's message appeared.
Hahaha... It's feeling much better thanks... Ino has been treating it regularly and the swelling has come down considerably.
The red haired man made a rude scoffing sound at his sibling's comment because he knew for a fact that wasn't the only swelling that the blonde was treating on a regular basis but instead wrote:
You're lucky you have such a hard head and you didn't have to go to the hospital…this time.
Gaara felt a small smirk rise on his lips as he saw his brother's immediate reply.
Yeah – that seems to be a habit around her…but I find that I don't mind the challenge.
The Kazekage secretly smiled at his brother's comment but sighed as he knew he needed to get straight onto the business at hand today rather than spend a little extra time discussing their respective...quarries.
How are you faring with gathering information?
Gaara tapped his pen on the table as he watched Kankuro's message appear.
Ino's been hanging around the sex shop owner and his friend 'Chi-chi' this week... It definitely looks like we'll have a chance to follow Kabuto back to his camp after the Amateur night... According to Chi-chi... the man has become quite a regular...
I've also managed to get a good deal of information out of Louie over at the Rusty Kunai.
The red head looked over at the small scroll he received early that morning with a smirk and wrote back.
Yes – you were most thorough... I was impressed... I take it that it didn't take much to garner his co-operation?
Gaara let out a small evil chuckle as his brother's reply appeared on the message scroll.
No... not really... it turns out that his brother was the man that tried to force himself on the vixen... so he was grateful that I didn't kill his sibling for his stupidity... also promising to track down some half way decent coffee for the man didn't hurt either.
The Kazekage let out a heartfelt amen at the thought of having good coffee every morning... being the man in charge did have its occasional advantages.
Good job, Kankuro... when do you anticipate being able to return back to Suna?
Gaara missed his brother's visits... and quite frankly, even though the daily scroll sessions were entertaining... it wasn't the same as talking to his sibling in the flesh.
Kankuro seemed to sense the real reason behind his question as his reply flashed onto the scroll:
Don't worry, Ototo...I will try to wrap this mission up as quickly as I can... promise.
Gaara nodded in satisfaction before replying:
I will hold you to that, Aniki. What do you plan on doing about the kuniochi from the leaf village?
A thoughful expression appeared on the red head's face as his brother's reply appeared on the scroll.
I wish I knew, Gaara... I'm tempted to just kidnap the little shrew and keep her locked up in my room indefinitely but I have a feeling that she wouldn't be too thrilled about it... I would like a more...permanent arrangement with the vixen but... I don't want to push the issue.
Gaara nodded in understanding at his sibling's precarious situation with the blond and knew that she would fight him every step of the way before finally giving up the struggle. He just wished that he had some words of advice to offer Kankuro...
The kazekage felt the small smile on his lips as he saw his brother's message appeared.
Don't worry about me, Ototo... I will figure out something with Ino... it's just going to take a little time, that's all.
The red head growled in frustration as he wrote back.
I still expect to receive your report this evening as soon as the blond returns.
Gaara could hear the smirk in Kankuro's voice as his message appeared:
I understand, Kazekage-sama. Speaking of blondes – how is Temari? Is she doing well?
A feral gleam appeared in the young man's jade eyes as he replied:
Our sister is indeed doing well... she just arrived back from Konoha this morning... with a couple of souvenirs on her neck.
Gaara was grinning evilly as a message appeared on the scroll.
Really? Hickeys... how...interesting.
The Kazekage laughed knowingly as he heard the door of his office open and a female voice hiss, "I should have known that you couldn't keep this to yourself."
Gaara shrugged as he wrote:
Temari's here...
Temari stalked over to the table, grabbed the pen from Gaara's hand, turned the scroll around and wrote:
I have a bone to pick with you, Puppet Scum...what the hell did you say to that lazy ass bastard?!
Gaara's eyes lit up in unholy delight as Kankuro's reply appeared on the scroll:
Nothing that didn't need to be said, dearest sister... I don't see why you're bitching about it... you obviously reaped the...benefits of my little pep talk to the shadow wielder...
The Kazekage watched in amused silence as Temari went bright red, wrote a one word reply and stormed out of the room, highly embarrassed.
He watched the door for a while before he turned the scroll around to read Kankuro's comment.
I take it she left then? A pity... I was hoping to hear some juicy details...
Gaara laughed.
---------o--------------o---------------o----------
Amateur Night
Ino was feeling uncharacteristically nervous as she walked next to the large man who was her mission partner and recently, had become her lover.
It had been difficult enough to keep this a secret all week and now she was having serious doubts that she could actually go through with this – despite having Chi Chi and Suki's help.
"Relax, Ayame... there's no other woman that I'm gonna see on that stage tonight that is ever going to compare to you." murmured Kankuro softly, secretly amused by his vixen's preoccupation.
Ino stiffened in shock for moment before realizing that he said it out of reassurance.
"Oh, I am sure that there will be one or two with better legs than mine." replied Ino with a bite to her tone.
Kankuro held back the smirk that threatened to appear on his face as he countered softly in a husky voice, "Maybe... but none will ever have your fire, beautiful."
Ino stopped walking and turned to stare at the man beside her.
"You're seriously not interested in other women, are you?" asked Ino in wonderment.
"Nope. I've made my choice." murmured Kankuro quietly.
"I'm a poor choice then." muttered Ino under her breath.
"I beg to differ." responded the puppeteer leaning over to kiss Ino on the forehead.
Suki watched in amusement as the striking couple stopped in the middle of the road and appeared to be having a conversation before he saw that hunk of beef cake lean down and give the blonde a chaste kiss on the temple.
Gorgeous, gorgeous man...it was such a shame that he didn't play for his team.
Suki sighed before clapping his hands loudly and calling out, "Okay, you lovebirds... enough of the PDA... we need to get going... it's not a good idea to keep Chi Chi waiting."
"I thought you enjoyed a good show, Suki." drifted out that deep husky voice.
The petite man could feel his face going bright red at the other man's sexual innuendo before he finally squeaked, "Enough, you bad man... we need to get going. Trust me, darling – you never want to see Chi Chi's dark side."
Suki felt his insides turn to mush as he heard that sinful laugh echo in the night and heard Yukio murmur, "You're right, Suki... why don't we get going here and you can tell me a little bit about the infamous Chi Chi along the way, hmmm?"
---------------------------------------------------------
"Good god, Suki... tell me that I've died and gone to heaven. Are you here to save me, darling?" asked the elaborately dressed drag queen.
Kankuro gazed at the large broad chested Audrey Hepburn look a like holding court at a table directly in front of the stage and murmured in a wickedly sultry voice, "I don't know, sweetheart... do you need saving?"
Chi Chi felt her heart race a mile a minute when she heard that dark bedroom voice of his and raised a hand to fan her heated face.
Chi Chi looked over at her smirking friend and countered with a simper, "Honey, I always need saving...most especially from myself. I can see that Suki wasn't exaggerating... you're quite the bad boy, aren't you – Yukio?"
"I prefer the term misunderstood... I can always be good...for the right woman." replied the dark and dangerous man with a wicked smile.
Chi Chi stared at the male in shock before turning her gaze to the petite blonde and giving her a sly smile.
"Ayame - It must be terrible having to deal with a man who has an answer for everything." murmured Chichi in a lamenting tone.
The drag queen laughed in delight as she watched the blonde go bright red at the comment as she turned her face away but not before Chi Chi noted the telling expression on the young woman's face.
Lah – lucky girl... it's obvious he's a handful to deal with but judging by that look on her face...I'd say that she deals with it because he's pretty good in the sack.
"I noticed Hourouki is standing nearby... is it going to be one of those nights Chi Chi darling?" murmured Suki with a small smirk on his lips.
Chi Chi looked up at her friend and gifted him with a knowing smile of her own before inclining her head with a slight nod, "Yes – it seems that word got around that Akashi would be missing out on Amateur night until she recovered from her injuries... so we've had quite a large turn out this evening."
Suki noticed the young woman beside him go a little pale at the revelation and he leaned close to whisper, "Don't stress, sweetie... Chi Chi and I have everything under control."
Ino tried to keep the inner panic she felt rising up to take hold and nodded when she heard the small man's whispered words of comfort.
"One of those nights?" asked Kankuro with a dark eyebrow raised.
Chi Chi turned, hypnotized by that deep sultry voice of his and was hard pressed not to start drooling at the sight of that elegant eyebrow raised in challenge.
Kami! He's got the face of a fallen angel, this one...
The drag queen glanced over at her friend and noticed that one was trying to hold back the sympathetic smile she just knew was lurking in the background.
Oh, hell. Suki, darling... you're a saint for having to deal with this man in your store for as long as you have and not once have you jumped him...
"It's club policy for the ladies to sign in early for the Amateur's night. We have them check in their music choice a day early, so it gives us a chance to get properly prepared..." replied Chi Chi, feeling a little faint as she continued to look at the large broad chested man.
"Chi Chi can tell what type of night it's going to be by looking over the DJ's final play list before she opens the club for business." countered Suki with a sly smirk.
"So – I'm guessing that I'm going to require copious amounts of alcohol to survive Amateur night?" asked Kankuro with a quirk of his firm lips.
Chi Chi watched in fascination as that little smile of his turned into a full blown grin.
She heard Ayame let out a tiny groan of dismay before she heard him reply, "Well, in that case, Chi Chi... tell Hourouki that I enjoy my alcohol like my sex... hard, straight up and plenty of it."
Chi Chi felt her cheeks flush as she felt her jaw drop.
This man! So naughty! It had been a long, long time since someone had gotten the best of her in a conversation...
"Yukio..." growled out the blonde in a hiss as Suki gave into the urge to laugh.
"Lah – it's okay, Ayame... I'm not offended...more intrigued than anything else. My, my... you certainly are a handful, Yukio. I can see that I'm going to have to keep an eye on you, hmm?" murmured Chi Chi in admiration.
Chi Chi waited for the little group to join her at the table before she raised a manicured finger to signal Hourouki.
"Well, Hourouki... the first amateur is going to be on stage in a few minutes, we may as well order the first round of drinks. What will you have, handsome?" asked Chi Chi raising her own eyebrow in challenge.
"I'll have a bottle of Takaisami sake for starters...and a shot of Patron Silver Tequila later on in the evening." replied Kankuro with a saucy half smile on his face.
"Ahh, I see you are a man with refined tastes...in alcohol as well as women." murmured Chi Chi, glancing over at the vivacious blond woman sitting next to Suki, now more than a little envious at the young woman's good fortune.
The lights on the stage flickered as the music settled down to mere background noise and the MC walked on.
"Well, darlings...the colorful train wreck affectionately known as Amateur night is about to begin... Hourouki... you better grab our drinks before this one begins her act... I have a feeling we're going to need it..." muttered Chi Chi with a melodramatic sigh to the waiter before he left with a sympathetic look on his face.
---------------------------------------------------------
One hour and thirty minutes later…
"A big round of applause for Natsuki Sugiyama, everyone." called out the MC in a hearty voice, despite looking a little green in the face.
"He's so worth the money you pay him, Chi Chi..." murmured Suki, impressed by the man's composure as members of the crowd raced towards the rest room.
Kankuro grimaced and nodded in agreement.
They sure as hell couldn't pay him enough money to deal with this on a regular basis...
Even he had his limits.
"Lah!! I'm scarred for life!" moaned Chi Chi covering her face with her large manicured hands.
"There, there... Chi Chi... it's okay... the talentless little walrus has left the stage now..." clucked Suki sympathetically patting his friend on the back in comfort.
"It could be worse, Chi Chi... you could be the one having to judge the event..." countered Kankuro dryly as the elaborately dressed drag queen looked up in horror at the handsome brute sitting beside him before screeching in a hoarse voice, "Hourouki... drinkies... NOW!"
A scantily attired waiter brought over a large pitcher of a bright concoction with three cocktail glasses.
Kankuro tried hard to prevent the smirk from coming to his lips, pouring out the drinks as he heard Chi Chi wail, "How could she?! She could have picked something else to strip to... anything but Madonna's Dress You Up... a classic forever ruined – thanks to her awful tawdry little act! I wasn't the only one horrified! You were a little green too, were you Yukio sweetie?"
Kankuro nodded and added with a grimace, "Yeah – Chichi... I really didn't need to see that much of her...charms that close up."
There was a definite down side to being this close to the stage!
Chi Chi gratefully took the proffered cocktail from the handsome man's hand and tossed back the cocktail with a small flick of her wrist.
"The little hussy! A lime green fish net body suit and candy panties!! Pur-lease! I thought I was going to toss my cookies when she bent over and offered members of the audience an opportunity to take a nibble on those things... ewww!" spluttered Chi Chi with a shudder, holding out her empty cocktail glass for Kankuro to refill.
"I think it might be a good time to start enforcing a new policy over at the shop." muttered Suki under his breath as he took a healthy swallow of his cocktail.
Yes – he was definitely making an executive decision and never, ever, stocking them in his shop!
The body suits or the candy panties...
"Yes – I was kind of relieved that Ayame had to go to the ladies room... rather than watch that performance..." responded Kankuro sourly as he poured himself a drink.
He didn't notice the telling look that passed between the elegant drag queen and her flamboyant friend.
"Yes – it was tragic she missed out on that..." murmured Chi Chi with a small gleam in her eyes as she watched the staff finish cleaning up the stage and disinfecting the stripper's pole in preparation for the next act.
Chi Chi raised a scarlet finger nailed hand to signal the waiter once more and waited for the signal from the MC.
The waiter appeared with another pitcher of the fruity concoction as well as a shot glass containing a clear liquid, which he placed in front of Kankuro.
"What's this for?" asked the puppeteer, looking at his two companions now smirking at him.
"You're gonna need it for the next act, Yukio sweetie... trust me." murmured Chi Chi with a simper to her brightly painted lips.
"Really?" asked the large sand nin with a sudden gleam in his eye as the MC stepped onto the freshly cleaned stage.
"Let's give a big Happy Times welcome to our next amateur... the lovely Ayame Sakamoto."
Kankuro's emerald eyes widened in shocked delight as the stage went dark, only for a single blue spot light to flash on after a few moments and shine down on a shadowy, leggy figure lounging seductively against the gleaming brass pole.
The two friends watched in amusement as the man tossed back the shot and fished out a small pile of yen which he slapped down on the table in preparation for the next show.
"I told you that he was going to like this..." murmured Chi Chi slyly.
"The best is yet to be revealed, Chi Chi sweetie... wait until you see the outfit I put her in..." countered Suki with a smirk.
The drag queen gasped, "Oooh! Tell me..."
"Shh... Chi Chi... let's watch the show..." smirked the gay man with a small wave of his hand as they turned their attention to the young couple.
A bright spotlight replaced the shadowy light to reveal a young woman in a short scarlet cloak with her back to the audience, her long legs encased in black seamed fishnet stockings with matching black satin bows marching up the seam to disappear under the hem of the cloak. The blood red pumps on her feet gleamed in the light as she stood there, against the pole, a wicker basket looped over the arm lightly caressing the brass pole.
The hard driving beat of the music started as the woman swivelled around to slither seductively down the pole, her face finally revealed to the crowd.
"Oh hell..." murmured Kankuro, his mouth going dry at the sight of Ino dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood.
She looked so deceptively innocent as she swivelled her hips seductively to the beat of the music.
Hell – he wanted to lead her astray... take away that good girl aura of hers...
He watched transfixed as the arm with the basket reached up to hold onto the pole as her body slid up the pole, her full skirt pressed against her and the unforgiving surface.
The arm holding the basket let go of the pole to trail down the front of her body.
Kankuro licked his suddenly dry lips as she took another turn around the pole with the basket balanced in the crook of her elbow on the outstretched arm.
Her little hip gyrations were driving him nuts... and where the hell did she learn to move like that?!
"Suki! You're a bloody Genius!" squealed Chi Chi as she clapped her hands together in delight.
"Lah – Ayame deserves all the credit... she picked the outfit, after all..." replied Suki with a perverted smile.
Kankuro felt like a hungry predator laying in wait as he tracked her movements on the stage.
Now has come the day that I take the lead and I make you follow.
Toast the champion cause I came for greed and not for tomorrow.
If it feels good then it feels good and I do it all day.
You want me to play you best bring your brain, you best bring your money.
She released her grasp on the pole to slink to the front of the stage, her little basket swinging on her arm as her other hand reached up to release the clasp on the hood.
Kankuro watched in delight as she dipped low in front of him showing him a generous amount of cleavage thrusting up from the top of her peasant blouse.
Make me a superstar.
No matter who you are.
She placed the basket at the front of the stage with a low sweep of her arm and sent her cape flying to the side of the stage with a flick of her other wrist as she gyrated up to a standing position, her hands ghosting up her torso to the music.
Ino shot Kankuro a smouldering look as her hands slid up the side of her breasts and continued up the side of her neck before flicking one of the pig tails forward, licking her bottom lip seductively with that pink tongue of hers before finally turning away.
Kankuro bit back the groan that came to his own lips at her blatant invitation.
Hot damn...
Kankuro felt a possessive pride engulf him as he tracked the blonde's retreating figure in the tightly cinched black PVC corset and bright red velvet skirt.
She was incredibly beautiful... and she was all... his.
Ino prowled over to the gleaming brass pole and grasped it firmly, one hand above the other as she ground against the hard surface.
"No fucking way..." murmured Kankuro in hushed awe to the amusement of his audience at the table as he realized what his little vixen was about to do, watching her take a small step back from the pole.
Razorblade and lines and I walk the line without feeling no one.
Damn my throat is dry, I can't taste the wine from these empty bottles.
Films and magazines its all what I need and all what I planned on.
Where's my limousine.
It's just a dream that I won't wake up from.
Ino launched herself onto the brass pole, wrapping one long stocking clad leg around the pole as she leaned back and swirled around the pole with the other leg extended.
Kankuro watched in silent awe as her foot gracefully touched the stage before once more pushing herself off the ground to twirl around the pole with bent knees.
"Oh Hell..." whispered the puppet nin in reverence, his eyes never leaving the sexy creature who seemed to be doing her best to get him all hot and bothered.
It was working... oh, yes – it was definitely making quite the impression on him!
"Look at him, Chi Chi... he's drooling!" crowed Suki in delight, gently nudging his friend.
"Hehe... honey – drool is going to the least of his troubles after he sees what she does next." murmured Chi Chi maliciously, watching the large man licking his lips.
Kankuro felt the telltale twinge of a nosebleed as he watched her gracefully land in front of the pole and grasped the front of her top.
Make me a superstar.
It don't matter who you are.
Make me a superstar.
No matter who you are.
A roar erupted from the delighted largely male audience as they watched the young woman tear off her peasant top to reveal a frilly black and red bikini top that revealed a lot of cleavage.
Kankuro placed a large hand under his nose as his nose started to drip in earnest now, his eyes locking on the vision dancing seductively across the stage.
The large man looked down in as he felt something being none too gently pushed into his hand and glanced over to see a highly amused Suki sinking back into his seat with a knowing look in his eye.
He gave the effeminate man a gruff thanks as he wiped his bleeding nose with the delicate handkerchief and turned his attention back to the beautiful woman dancing for his pleasure on that large stage directly in front of him.
Kankuro felt his pulse start to race in excitement as he saw the devious little gleam appear in the blonde's blue eyes as her hands came to rest on her hips as she did a grind in front of him.
Ino flicked her long pigtails over her shoulder with a toss of her head as her small hands moved up to further accentuate the teasing gyrations of her waist, giving him a challenging look.
He was more than up for a challenge...especially with her...
Ino reached down and gave the full skirt a teasing switch as she pivoted and prowled back to the brass pole.
"Down, boy..." murmured Chi Chi slyly, putting her large hand onto the puppeteer's shoulder and gently pushing him back down into his seat.
And all of my pills and all of my drinks is makin me, makin me.
And all that I feel and all that I see is makin me, makin me, makin me.
Ino grabbed hold of the pole in one hand as she swirled around the pole, before she paused in front and arched her back, the bottom half of her body grinding against the apparatus.
"Hell…" murmured Kankuro, transfixed by that hot look in her blue eyes.
He felt another part of his anatomy becoming equally affected by the little vixen's performance and was beginning to wish that they were back in their room at the inn so she could grind up against a different kind of pole.
Chi Chi raised a delicate handkerchief to her nose as she heard the animalistic growl hiss out from Yukio's parted lips and watched as the man's large hands dug into the edge of the table.
The drag queen quickly glanced over at her friend and noticed that Suki was sitting there with a small grimace on his face and an identical scrap of lace held to his nose.
Ino stepped away from the pole, one hand tearing off the little corselette as the other hand gripped higher on the shiny surface. She swung her lithe body up onto the pole.
Cover me in greed, cause you planted the seed when you fed my ego.
Needless and disease for old invincible me like some kind of hero.
Is it no surprise that I'm paralyzed by my fame and fortune.
As I close my eyes and dive into the sky I'm dead 27.
Kankuro reached blindly across the table and picked up a small shot glass filled with a clear liquid.
The suspense was killing him… he just knew she was going to do something very naughty… and he could hardly wait to see what it was…
Ino shot him a particularly hot and naughty look before she leaned back, tossing her pigtails over her shoulder and did the splits.
The puppet nin gave the stage a tiny little salute with the shot glass before he tossed back the contents of the glass and set it back on the table upside down.
Ino hooked her legs back around the brass pole as she rotated around until she was facing her audience of one with a hungry look in her eyes as she let go of the pole with her hands.
The audience erupted into catcalls as Ino's hands reached down to the floor, giving Kankuro and the rest of the onlookers a good look of her generous cleavage firmly held in by the lacy red and black bra top.
The audience let out a collective roar as the blond flipped off the pole before turning slightly to give everyone a saucy half smile over her shoulder.
"Unbelievable…" murmured the puppet nin in awe as she slinked back over to the pole.
There was a flurry of hands as yen notes were being stuffed into the little cane basket at a dizzying speed.
Make me a superstar.
It don't matter who you are.
Make me a superstar.
No matter who you are.
Ino's hand slid teasing over the surface as she ground her hips against it as her other hand teased down the side of her body.
Kankuro pushed himself up from his seat and leaned over the table as he saw her small hand tighten on the edge of the skirt before…
A deafening roar filled the strip club once more as the blonde woman tore the flared velvet skirt off her body to reveal a matching pair of frilly black and red lace hot pants.
The sand nin licked his lips in anticipation of the evening ahead as his heated gaze watched her continue to gyrate around that pole.
And all of my pills and all of my drinks is makin me, makin me, makin me.
And all that I feel and all that I see is makin me, makin me, makin me.
And all of my pills and all of my drinks is killin me, killin me, killin me.
And all that I feel and all that I see is fakin me, fakin me.
Kankuro watched her grip the pole once more to swirl once to stop at the front of the stage before pushing herself off to swing around the brass apparatus, one leg hooked about the pole.
He privately vowed then and there that he would try to organize a private pole dance for himself at a later date.
Hell – it shouldn't cost that much to install a stripper's pole in his apartment... surely?
Ino stalked across the stage, her blue eyes locked on Kankuro's own as she stopped directly in front of the owner's table and did a little hip grind.
The puppeteer didn't notice Hourouki swiftly remove all the glasses on the table as he watched her continue to tease him with her hot little body.
He also didn't notice Chi Chi give a nod to the blonde vixen on the stage and was delighted when she lifted one finely sculpted and stocking clad leg, placing it directly in front of him.
Ino gyrated down to a crouch and stared directly into those hot emerald orbs of his, the heated promise of sensual retribution apparent in their depths.
"Are you enjoying the show, baby?" purred Ino as she touched his lean cheek.
Suki and Chi Chi felt the blood gush forth from their noses when they heard the large man growl out, "Hell yes... I'll show you later just how much I appreciated your little show, sweetheart...you'll be lucky if I can wait until we get back to our room."
They watched him bring up a hand and slip a ten thousand yen note down into the deep cleavage of the blonde's frilly bra.
Ino gave his firm lips a saucy little lick with her tongue before she danced back into a standing position and turned to step back on the stage.
.
Make me a superstar, it don't matter who you are.
Make me a superstar, no matter who you are.
Superstar…
Kankuro felt a predatory gleam enter his eyes as she sashayed back to the pole with a little extra switch in her hips.
He watched her hand trail up the brass, preparing for one final swing before she launched herself once more onto the surface with another roar of approval from the crowd.
Kankuro abruptly stood up and started clapping enthusiastically as Ino finally leaned back after the last sweep of the brass pole to give the audience a decidedly naughty look from her position on the pole.
The MC walked back on stage with a flushed look on his face as Ino finally reached up and swung down from the pole to take her bows and called out in a hoarse voice, "Big round of applause for the delightful Ayame Sakamoto!"
Kankuro was about to stalk over to the stage and pull her over his shoulder when he caught a brief alarmed look on her face before she tilted her head slightly to the left.
He swiftly looked in the direction she indicated, only to see a gray haired man with his back to him, seemingly frozen and obviously halted in mid flight.
"Suki, Chi Chi…. I need to go outside to clear my head before I end up doing something totally unforgivable and provide your guests with some additional entertainment. Could you please tell my gorgeous wife that I won't be long." murmured Kankuro in a smoky bedroom voice to the pair sitting there with their mouths open.
The puppeteer stared up at the stage and gave the little vixen standing there a tiny nod of his head as well as a silent promise to thank her for her little surprise later that night.
"Well, Chi Chi… I think that went remarkably well…. Don't you?" croaked out Suki as he fluttered a small hand in front of his face as the large man disappeared into the crowd.
--------------------------------------
"Who's your friend?" grinned the large bouncer as Kankuro emerged outside the club.
"Just some poor soul who's had too much to drink, Daichi. I didn't think it was a smart idea if your boss saw him about to pass out in her club." replied Kankuro with an apologetic shrug of his shoulder watching in silent amusement as the hired goon blanched.
"Yeah… good thinking… did you manage to find out where's he staying or is he too far gone?" asked the bouncer in concern as he continued to scan the doorway.
"Unfortunately not… but I noticed that there's a little 24 hour café around the corner. I was going to get some water down his system and sober him up a little… and then I will be coming back to see the rest of the show." replied Kankuro with a grin.
"Heheh… I kinda think that the rest of Amateur night will be anti-climactic after that hot little blonde's act… she was amazing." murmured the bouncer in awe.
"Yeah, I keep telling her that she's spectacular… maybe now she will finally believe me…. I'll see you soon, Daichi…" said Kankuro as he dragged the gray haired man lounging limply at his side off down the street.
"I'll be damned… what a lucky bastard." muttered the bouncer in deep admiration as he watched the large man disappear into the night with his burden in tow.
--------------y--------------y------------
(scene starts now)
"Wait! Slow down… what's the hurry?" murmured Ino breathlessly as she was dragged down the dark street and rapidly away from the strip club behind the stalking form of the puppet nin.
Kankuro let out a low frustrated growl as he glanced over his shoulder at the sight of a disheveled Ino trying to catch her breath.
He couldn't take it anymore… he couldn't wait until they reached their room.
"Yukio, now is not the time to do this…" groaned Ino as the large sand nin jerked her into a small alleyway and pressed her back up against the wall with his larger frame.
"Sorry, sweetheart… but I beg to differ… I did give you fair warning that this could happen." murmured Kankuro hotly into her ear as he bit teasingly onto the side of her neck.
"Can't you wait until… eeek… uh…." murmured Ino, her face starting to flush bright red in embarrassment as she felt the night air caress her bare flesh as Kankuro tugged down her panties with one large hand.
"No – it can't wait. I need to be inside you…now." replied Kankuro in a sultry low growl against her neck, smiling as he felt her breath hitch in her throat and her pulse racing under the pale skin.
Ino could feel her excitement mount as she heard the rasp of a zipper being pulled down before Kankuro lifted her up and…
"Ahhh… kami…" gasped Ino, her trepidation forgotten as she was impaled onto him.
"Damn it… it never felt this good Ino… only with you…" whispered Kankuro in a soft smoky rasp into her ear as he felt her eagerness grip him snuggly.
The blond could feel her insides turned to mush at his heated confession as he drove deeper into her waiting flesh and her finger nails dug into the muscles in his shoulder as her back grazed the rough surface of the brick wall.
"Holy….harder…. yes…." panted Ino as he gripped tighter on her hips and started to move in and out of her willing body.
"Harder?" murmured Kankuro hotly against Ino's shoulder as his teeth grazed her collar bone lightly.
"Yes…Yes…more….ahhh….Kami!!" gasped the young woman as he pounded away at a bruising pace.
Ino knew that she was going to have some bruises on her hips from his grip in the morning but right now, she didn't care…
Ino let out a piercing scream that echoed out into the deserted street as she felt her peak rapidly approaching.
"Hell… so tight… mine…" whispered Kankuro darkly as he felt the tiny tremors rippling through the blonde's body.
"No… you're MINE…bastard…all…. Ahhhh…mine!" gasped Ino as her hips ground down on his pelvis.
"Yes…yes… yours, sweetheart…only yours…" groaned Kankuro as he could feel his own peak approaching as her teeth bit into the soft flesh of his shoulder.
He felt it then… a strong rippling of the muscles from deep inside his sweet vixen before her sharp teeth broke the skin as her body clamped down hard on him.
He felt the nails scored deep into his back, hissing slightly as he continued to drive into her.
Their cries shattered the night as they reached their climax.
Ino held on as her orgasm drained her of her energy by its sheer intensity.
They stood there in the dirty alley and tried to catch their breaths, both overwhelmed by what had just occurred.
"Mmm… I think we should get back to the inn…" murmured Ino with a small sigh after a while.
Kankuro chuckled softly as he slowly pulled out of her and gently put her feet back on the ground.
"There… more presentable now…" murmured Kankuro with a small smirk in his voice as he tugged up her lacy panties.
The puppeteer adjusted his clothes and finally looked over at a blushing Ino, waiting for him.
"Let's get going, beautiful… we can continue this conversation in private." murmured Kankuro with a sexy half smile.
The blonde nodded as she took his hand before he pulled her back onto the main street.
They never noticed the small figure standing there in the middle of the street with a blood soaked handkerchief under his nose.
(scene ends now)
---------------------------------------
Ino stared in disgust at the gray haired man glaring daggers at her.
She didn't need to slip into his mind to figure out that he wanted to strangle the daylights out of her.
Kankuro had trussed the man up like a thanksgiving turkey and strung him up in the shower stall, hooking his arms around the shower head.
"How the hell am I supposed to have a shower if he's in there?" growled Ino, not at all happy.
"Hell – just draw the curtain back across and have a bath instead, Vixen." replied Kankuro with a small sigh.
He could see regret ghosting over her features and quickly guessed what she was thinking.
"Sweetheart… don't beat yourself up… you did the right thing considering the situation." said the puppet nin pulling the blonde into his arms.
"What should we do now? We can't let him go…" uttered Ino softly.
"It looks like I will be heading back to Suna in the morning…but I will come back for you after I drop him off in my brother's loving care." murmured Kankuro, giving Kabuto a sly and knowing look as the man stiffened at his words.
"You're leaving me behind?" asked Ino in shock.
"Hell…it's the only way, gorgeous… we can't afford to arouse any suspicion." replied Kankuro with a groan as he saw the hurt look in her eyes.
Ino gave the bound man another look, this time one of studied contemplation before finally nodding with a small smile, "No, no… you're right… I don't like it… but I understand."
"Sweetheart… I will be back as fast as I can…okay?" murmured the sand nin, his chin resting on the top of her head.
"I guess you need to start packing so you're ready to leave in the morning…" responded Ino with a sigh.
"I can do that later, gorgeous… first I need to show you my appreciation for that amazing little show you put on tonight…" grinned Kankuro wolfishly.
"Again?! Uh… sweetheart… do you think that's a good idea… with our friend there?" asked Ino in concern as she stepped back from Kankuro and tried to inch out of the bathroom.
"Absolutely, beautiful! It's not as though he's got much say in the matter anyway..." replied Kankuro before closing the door behind him.
Kabuto closed his eyes, his groan muffled against the gag in his mouth as he tried to shut out the sounds coming from the bedroom.
Lord Kami…just kill me now…
It was going to be a long night by the sound of things and the perverted bastard was just getting started!
