Tenten

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Very slowly, the beeping started to become clear. The blackness Tenten saw before her, dissipated. There was light at the end of this tunnel. There was hope.

When she fully opened her eyes, she saw white walls. She heard birds chirping outside. A fresh breeze of cool wind met her face. Tenten felt relaxed, at home. The sun on her skin felt warm and welcoming and the silence around her was comforting. It took her awhile to be able to see her whole environment. It was almost as if her eyes were glued shut and she had to get used to opening them again. When she fully regained the strength of her eyes, she noticed that she was in a hospital bed. She was wearing those hospital robes and she had an infuse in her right hand. When she looked at her right, she saw an open window. She couldn't look outside really, because a big tree was blocking her view. But she didn't mind it; the tree's presence was nice to her. On her left was the electro-cardio graph, monitoring her heartbeat. Even that noisy machine felt like home. Her room was filled with fresh flowers. It made it smell nice. Tenten smiled. It may not be a good thing to wake up in a hospital, but this was better than being with those bad guys.

The door opened and a doctor stepped inside, wearing a long white coat and a clipboard in her hands. Judging from her bright pink locks, Tenten could tell that it was Sakura. She smiled at the pinkette; she was so happy to see someone she knew.

Sakura was so busy concentrating on her clipboard; she didn't notice Tenten was awake until she turned to look at her bed.

"Oh my god," she said surprised. "You're awake! How do you feel?"

"A little light headed," Tenten admitted. "But I'm sure I'll be fine." Her throat felt oddly dry; almost like sandpaper.

"Now that you're awake, I'm absolutely positive you will be," Sakura said happily.

She walked up to the ECG to check up on her heart and then to the infuse to see if its level wasn't too low. All the while, Tenten looked at her puzzled. She had questions she wanted to ask and she couldn't wait.

"The fact that I'm here," she started. "Is a sign that I have been saved."

"Yup!" Sakura agreed.

"But what happened to me?"

"Well… It's many things, actually. First of all, you drowned. But we got you out of that state quickly. But you were also severely dehydrated and you're low on energy reserves. You're body couldn't take it, so you lost consciousness. You're body was so beaten up, you were in coma for about five days now."

"Five days?" Tenten said, unable to believe that. "That long?"

"Don't worry," Sakura tried to calm her down. "A coma isn't always a bad thing. In your case, your body and mind just needed to shut down for a little while so it could reboot itself."

"I guess I can understand that," Tenten said hesitantly. She wasn't quite sure if she was satisfied with that answer but she decided she wasn't going to ask about it. She had another urgent question to ask her.

"Where's Sasuke?"

She was actually surprised not to see him by her side when she woke up. All the bad scenario's of the things that might've happened to him started to creep up on her. Did he die? Was he ok?

Sakura scratched her head first in response. Her facial expression told Tenten that this was a rather complicated subject.

"Well… " Sakura tried. "Sasuke's case is a little more intricate than yours, Tennie."

"Why? What happened? Is he ok?"

"Don't worry, he's just fine. But the thing is, he's kinda in jail at the moment."

"Jail?" Tenten asked out loudly. "Why? What did he do wrong?"

Sakura sat down on her bed and thought of ways to tell her what Sasuke had done wrong without making it sound like he was the bad guy.

"When Sasuke couldn't find you, he lost control. And he used a very powerful jutsu to eliminate the enemy. But he was reckless and he injured his own people along the way. He was brought before the court a few days ago and was sentenced to two weeks in jail."

"Two weeks…"

"Yes, two weeks. But he should consider himself lucky: he almost got banned from the village but regarding his position, it was a little hard for the judge to sentence him with that."

"His position?" Tenten inquired. "You mean his position as the son of the clan leader?"

"No, sweetie," Sakura said, shaking her head. "As the clan leader himself."

Tenten didn't really understand. The last time she checked, Sasuke wasn't the clan leader (yet).

"The day you got kidnapped," Sakura tried to explain. "Was the day Sasuke got promoted to clan leader. I believe he came home early that day to give you the good news."

"I see," Tenten said defeated. She felt like she missed an important moment in Sasuke's life. And because of her he got sent to jail.

"Where is he now?" she asked Sakura.

"In a holding cell guarded by the ANBU," Sakura answered. "Only ANBU members allowed. So I'm afraid you won't be able to visit him."

Feeling guilty about what happened, Tenten lowered her head. Sakura noticed immediately and stroked her hair.

"Don't feel bad about this, Tennie," she said to try to comfort her. "I have known Sasuke for a long time now and I know for sure he doesn't regret anything he's done. Because he believes he did it for the right cause: to save you. The best thing you could do for him now is get better quickly."

Tenten smiled at the pinkette. Maybe she was right. At this moment, her only focus should be her recovery. She owes that much to her husband.

11 days later

Sasuke waited patiently in his cell for his release. He's been waiting for this moment for awhile now. He wanted to see her. Nothing else mattered. Because of the severity of his crime, he wasn't allowed to have any contact with the outside world but considering the fact that his brother was the ANBU captain, he was able to get a few favors done. One of them was to provide Tenten's hospital room with fresh flowers every day she spent there recovering. And his brother was kind enough to tell him how well she recovered. Tenten has been discharged from the hospital for a week now. He heard she's back on Phillip's back and that she's perfectly fine. Unless he could see that with his own eyes, he had a hard time believing that.

When two ANBU members, one of them being Sai, arrived at his door, he knew it was finally time for him to go. He heard that his wife was waiting by the front gates for him and he wanted to look nice. And he couldn't have done things any better: dressed in black pants, shiny shoes and a white long sleeved shirt, he looked more like a businessman than a prisoner. Sai smiled at him; a rarely seen genuine smile. He was curious about the feelings going through Sasuke and he wanted to watch his reunion. But he had a gut feeling that that wouldn't be such a good idea.

Led by the two ANBU members, Sasuke reached the front gate. Tenten was waiting for him in a simple floral summer dress. It was a very beautiful bright day and for once, she let her hair down. When she saw Sasuke, she felt tears prickling behind her eyes. When he was released, she ran in his arms. Sasuke held her close, buried his face on her shoulders, smelling the sweet scent of her hair. After a long moment of reconnection, Sasuke took her face in his hands and looked at her, staring her deep in her eyes.

"Are you okay?" he asked her softly.

She nodded and looked at him shyly. He tilted her head up and kissed her. It was a long, intimate kiss. It was one that they both needed. But they eventually stopped. Tenten was clearly blushing. Sasuke smiled at her, put an arm around her shoulder and wanted to walk home with her. That's when he noticed that Tenten wasn't the only one welcoming the Uchiha clan leader back. There were several (important!) members of his clan, the hokage and many more colleagues. He stopped right there, feeling a little ashamed himself. What he did to his wife, kissing her for a long period of time, out in public (especially this kind) was very inappropriate. Ino broke the silence with her giggles.

"Wow, Sasuke," she said. "I guess you really needed some sugar."

Slowly, the crowd started to laugh along. His friends welcomed him back to the free world and the elders politely shook his hand. Especially for this occasion, a small garden party was planned at the clan leader's home: the Uchiha household at the edge of the forest. It was a pleasant, sunny day. There were drinks, barbeque, laughs and warmth. For once, all the worries, the responsibilities and troubles were forgotten and everybody concentrated on being happy. Most of the time, Sasuke had his arms around his wife's waist, while he had pleasant conversations with his closest friends. He didn't want her away from him for too long. Perhaps the kidnapping had made him a little more conscious about her whereabouts. Tenten didn't mind it at all: she actually found the extra attention a little interesting.

After the party, at around 8 p.m., Sasuke and Tenten finally had some time together. The clan leader sent all the servants home, so he could have some quality time with his wife. He opened up a bottle of wine and served Tenten some.

"Hmmm," she said, surprised. "You're serving me your special wine. What's the occasion?"

"I think you're well aware of that," he answered her with a naughty look in his eyes. "We're celebrating your health. And my release. But the latter isn't that important."

He cuddled her into a hug, his chin on top of her head. "Nothing's more important to me than you."

Tenten closed her eyes in content. She was happy with her life, despite that horrible kidnapping. Sasuke let go of her and walked towards the stereo set in the living room and soon after, soft and romantic music was playing. He put down his glass of wine and walked up to Tenten, bowing and offering his hand to her.

"May I have this dance?" he asked her. Tenten giggled a bit. She had never known this side of him.

"Ofcourse," she said, as she took his hand. They danced very close to each other and the moment seemed perfect. Sasuke softly planted some kisses on her shoulders. Tenten sighed out of pleasure. He was giving her goose bumps and the chills were running down her spine. She felt tingling all over her body but she didn't want him to stop his loving. With his fingertips, he traced the places he just kissed and slowly moved upwards to the radiant skin of her face. Her big brown eyes reminded him of the forest trees, the peaceful silence of Mother Nature. Without thinking twice, he moved his lips closer to hers and without hesitation, Tenten answered his longing.

Unlike the kiss of this morning, this was different. She felt an intense wanting and was aware of what she felt against her breasts; his strong, muscular chest and the heart that's beating within it. She felt safe again, back in her haven. This is where she belonged, where she was meant to be. His arms were enveloping her, lightly pushing her against him. His kisses got a little deeper, a bit wilder, so to speak. She was moaning as a reaction to his kisses and she wanted more. She wanted to be lifted up again, to the highest places pleasure can bring her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing him closer to her as they kissed.

Slowly, Sasuke's right hand started to slide lower, towards her right butt cheek. He squeezed it slightly but immediately moved lower towards her thigh and lifted it up, to his waist. This caused his manliness to get closer to her core. She heaved a heavy sigh because his hardness was very, very clear to her now (as if it wasn't before; she actually felt it growing!). Tenten smiled and giggled at him. He responded the same way and with both his hands on her ass, he lifted her up, forcing her to wrap her legs around his waist.

"Owh! Sasuke… What are you doing?" she asked, mildly surprised. She sounded more inviting than rejective.

"Let's go to a room that's more appropriate for our actions, shall we?" he asked politely. And in that position, Tenten's legs around his waist, he carried her up the stairs to the master bedroom. She giggled all the way and when he started on the stairway, she kissed him passionately. The kiss came so suddenly that Sasuke kinda lost his footing for a bit and he had to stop a little to adjust his mind into doing two things at a time: walking the staircase and kissing his wife.

When they finally arrived in the bedroom, Sasuke practically threw Tenten on the bed. He took off his shirt and pants before crawling on top of her. He was wearing his boxers but Tenten could clearly see how aroused he is. She still feels shy whenever she sees him erect like that. She still had trouble believing that all of that can fit into her. The thought of him entering her, made her shiver. The pleasant current down her spine was accentuated when Sasuke kissed her legs and made his way up towards the inside of her thighs. His kisses were soft, sensual and wet; it got her squirming and groaning for more. Sasuke pulled her upright and swiftly took off her dress. And there she was, in her black lingerie; satin and lace, just the way he liked it. His mouth started to water when he saw her magnificent, pure and untouched body. She was so innocent, so inexperienced but it made him crave her even more.

He launched at her, kissing her hard on her lips while his hands were fiddling with the hooks of her bra. It didn't take long for him to undo it and when the cold evening air hit Tenten's nipples, she broke off the kiss, suddenly aware of her nudity. Sasuke didn't waste any time: he pulled her legs closer to him, making her fall back on the bed and before she knew it, he had taken off her panties. And when she lay there, totally naked, her legs spread apart, he took a moment and observed every curve of her body, taking in all the beauty he was seeing.

Tenten stared at him. He's a little wild today but by no means is she afraid of him. In fact, she felt rather curious; what was going through his mind? What is he thinking of? When he took off her panties and was staring at her, she fixed her gaze on the expression on his face. At first, she saw pure, raw lust. But as his eyes, moved higher towards her face, his expression softened and by the time he was staring her straight in the eyes, she saw love, an intense longing. And she wanted him too, she wanted to feel his whole body against hers. Slowly, she sat up on the bed, put an arm around his neck and kissed him. She wanted him to feel her love. Sasuke responded by pulling her closer to him, kissing her, going down her jaw line, nibbling on her earlobe and softly kissing her neck. His hands were all around her back, pulling her closer to him. That made her clearly feel the hardness of his core and it aroused her. She bit him on the nape of his neck and on his shoulders, scratching his back slightly. She felt him holding her ass with both his hand and how he lifted her and slowly positioned himself at her entrance. She gasped when she felt his member at her opening and looked him in the eyes.

"Are you ready?" he whispered. She nodded softly and held him tightly, waiting for impact.

Slowly, Sasuke let himself slide in her. She didn't need any stimulation, she was already so wet. He forced himself to take it slow and let her slide down at her own pace. This cost him a tremendous amount of effort; he's been in jail for weeks and he didn't have his release. He even refused to jerk off because he wanted to do this with her and not within the prison walls. And now that they're finally here, he didn't want any of this to end. Some part of his mind was aware of the fact that Tenten was biting down hard on his shoulder and that she had her nails deep in his skin. But that didn't matter now. What they were doing felt right. He loved her and she returned it. That's all that mattered.

After slowly moving her up and down, her grip on him had loosened and her moans were indicating pleasure more and more instead of pain. He took her by her hips and guided her movement, moving his own hips along the way. Tenten's body was soaring with sinful pleasure, her moans were becoming louder and she kissed him hard, to try to muffle it away; she didn't want anyone to know what they were doing. Sasuke increased the rate at which she was moving her hips up and down, slamming her on his dick hard. Then he laid her down on the bed, him on top of her. He removed himself from her, disconnecting the bond between them. She looked at him questioningly, wondering why he'd stop. Sasuke didn't look at her. Instead, he focused on her breasts. Reaching out to a nipple with his tongue, drawing circles around it and taking it in his mouth, suckling her like a baby would've done. To pleasure her even more, he slid a finger inside her and slowly moved in and out. She was so wet, it was driving him crazy! Tenten automatically moved her hips according to the speed at which his finger was entering her. She wanted him real bad. Why was he teasing her like this? And just as she thought she wouldn't be able to take it anymore, he removed his finger and instantly replaced it with his hardness. Tenten gasped at the sudden expansion of her vaginal walls; clearly his dick is larger than his finger.

He slowly moved in and out but not long after, he was moving very quickly and with such intensity. Tenten thought she was going to lose her mind in pleasure. Sasuke was grunting, enjoying every thrust. Every time he slid into her, the gates of heaven had opened. The pleasure was indescribable. He saw she was enjoying it as much as he was and that aroused him even more. He pulled out of her, making her feel empty and lonely. He took her by her hips and turned her around. He wanted her from behind; he wanted to admire her ass. Tenten, still drunk with pleasure, complied easily. When he entered her, she felt complete. She enjoyed every single inch of him and she didn't want him to stop. He was moving in such rapid succession and he entered her so deeply, she felt like she was about to break. Eventually it was like her barrier was about to overflow; the pleasure was so intense! She moaned louder and louder, screaming out his name. And then…it was like she saw a bright light and she was aware of her vaginal walls contracting. The pleasure had reached its highest point.

Not long after Tenten climaxed, so did Sasuke. He felt himself spilling it all inside of her and it was as if she was sucking him dry. It felt so good, he kinda lost his breath there for a second and he had to lean on her for support.

When they finally laid down next to each other, into each other's arms, they both felt very content and satisfied. Neither of them had to say a word. When they closed their eyes to rest they both knew they loved each other. And for now, that's all that mattered.
