Chapter 11

A Selfish Decision




Fire Country

Konoha


The looming gates of Konoha soon appeared in the distance and the group settled in for the last little stretch of the journey. They had been traveling since early that morning right after dawn had welcomed the world. The procession had been slow due to the fact that there were several people and they didn't travel in the trees like the ninjas did.

The guards at the gate welcomed the procession into Konoha and notified them that the Hokage was waiting for them in the tower. The group nodded and were led by a Konoha shinobi to the tower to meet with Hokage. They walked up the outside stairs before entering into the beehive shaped building and walking towards the Hokage's office.

The shinobi guide knocked on the door receiving an enter from the loud woman within the walls of the room. The Daimyo as well as his counselors entered into the room. The blond busty Hokage stood to welcome the other nobles into the room. There were already seats for them so as soon as the Daimyo and his counselors sat so did the Hokage.

"I would like to discuss Daisuke's ascension before we talk with him and my Elders as well. Though I am aware that Daisuke is a very able man I am still uneasy about why you would wish for him to become the Daimyo right now." the man looked at her calmly before replying.

"I have acquired certain health problems as of recently and would like to see my son take over being the Daimyo. Besides I am getting older in age and I wish to enjoy the rest of my years in peace knowing that the country in in good hands with my son being the Daimyo." the older man told her.

She could understand why the man wanted his son to take over being the Daimyo, there was always something that seemed to burst when a child or someone close to you did something grand. She could remember it with Sakura. How she progressed so fast in her medical training and witnessing her become a full fledged medical ninja, it was an overwhelming feeling, so she did know how he felt about Daisuke becoming the Daimyo, it was a father's pride and honor to see their child achieve something like that.

She nodded her head in agreement and told them the following day they would gather into counsel with the Elders and him and his counselors. They would start discussion early in the afternoon and go into the evening if they had to. The Daimyo nodded in agreement and they left the office being guided to their lodgings by another Konoha shinobi.

When Daisuke heard his father had arrived and which quarters he was in, he immediately went to see his father. Tapping twice on the door he let himself in to see his father sitting in a chair overlooking Konoha. He walked over to his father and sat where the older man could see him clearly.

"Have you talked to Hokage-sama?" He rapidly asked.

"Hai, I did. We will be in counsel tomorrow starting in the early afternoon. By the day after we will know if you will become the next Daimyo in a few days." the man said it with pride as he looked at the younger version of himself.

"Does Sakura know. I didn't tell her about it."

"Hai, I told her about it and she seems to be thrilled about it." it was a partial lie but the man didn't care. "She is anxious for your return so that she can carry an heir." Daisuke's face became slightly brighter. "She seems like a very adept mother. It gives me pride to call her my daughter-in-law. The child you two will produce will be a great child and in time a great leader that will rule the Fire country with greatness and steadfastness. You should be proud my son." Daisuke nodded at his father's words.

The child they would produce would be an excellent child. While its father was great as a shinobi and a leader, its mother was a talented kunoichi that would bring great skills to the child as well, she was also very diplomatic and had a political side to her that rivaled his own. The child would be great and it would be theirs and the Uchiha would be pushed aside.

"It is late, we should rest, we have a long day tomorrow." The Daimyo told his son.

"Of course, night father." Daisuke said to the older man before going back to his own quarters, still thinking about the child that him and Sakura would have together.

Border

Village Outskirts


The four looked over the small town that lay in front of them. It was the third border town they had been to in the last few days and they were ready for this search to be over. All they wanted to was to find the men, get the inform, follow the one man, and go home.

"Sai, do some recon. from the air, see if anyone is coming." the pale skinned boy nodded before bringing out his ink and parchment and quickly drawing a bird he was soon in the air looking down at the trails that came into the town.

He went miles out to get a better view of who could be coming into the town and along one of the roads there was a lone traveler, going straight towards the town that the team was watching over. The man wore a cloak and traveled at a brisk pace that Sai could notice. This man was in a hurry and going straight towards where the Konoha shinobi were at.

Flying back towards where the rest of the team was he canceled the ink drawing and landed gracefully on an outstretched tree branch. The other three looked at him almost expectantly.

"There is a man about an hour or two away walking straight here. He wore a cloak and looked quite suspicious." Shikamaru looked at their surroundings. It was becoming dark.

"They like to meet at night. How many pubs are here?"

"Only one." Ino put in.

"Then that's where they'll meet. We'll have two on the inside and two on the outside." Shikamaru continued. "Sai and I will go in. Ino and Choji stay outside but keep a look out at the door at all times. Sai, you will try and sit near where the men are at to hear the information" The boy nodded. "And then I will also be in there at a farther distance to try and pick up details about them." Sai nodded again. "Then once he leaves the pub Ino watch where he goes and we'll follow him from their. Sai do you think you can have an animal follow the other man?"
"I might be able to do it for a while but if something happens we won't have any information." the pale boy said.
"That's fine, as long as we get the general direction. We can also contact Kakashi as soon we know the direction and maybe where he is going. That's the general now lets just wait and watch." the three nodded and kept a watch on the trails incoming to the town.


Rain Country

Village

Inn


"We've been here for days and there is still nothing." Genma complained.

"You're only missing the ladies." Raidou snickered at him.

"That's not even the worse. It won't freaking stop raining. I hate the rain, I want, need the sun. Do you hear me, I need sun! Light, for kami's sake make it stop raining."

"What if it was raining woman?" Raidou asked and it got his attention.

"That I could do." Genma stated.

"Too bad it won't happen." Raidou joked causing Genma to frown then turn to Kakashi.

"Come on Kakashi, how long are we going to be here?"

"Until we get some information and that probably won't be for a while." Kakashi told them nonchalantly while flipping a page in his book.

"Hey Kakashi do you think I could borrow that?" Genma asked. A grey eye looked at him.

"No." Genma sweat dropped.

"Relax, Shikamaru is going to tell us when the man is on the move. Don't worry. I'm guessing a few more days and then we'll be able to go home, no big deal. Happy Genma, then you can get your own Icha Icha or a woman for that matter." the other two snickered at Genma's ordeal.

"You are all sadists."


Fire Country

Daimyo's Estate


The place seemed eerily quiet since it was only her that was actually living in the estate. Sure there were the servants but they made themselves rarely seen. It felt like a haunted house and she was the only living soul in it, but at the same time she was glad for the quiet the place provided. It let her think about the coming night.

It was the night that Sasuke was to return for her answer. Her husband or him and right now she was completely torn. There were several pros and cons to each person, but the real question was who was the one she completely loved without any reservations. But what would that mean for the one that didn't get chosen. She knew if she picked Sasuke that sooner or later she knew that he would take care of Daisuke in a permanent manner and that was what frightened her.

Yet Daisuke was the man that had first seen her as a woman. He had opened that side of her that she believed Sasuke could never open up, but after the kiss the other night she wasn't so sure. Daisuke had made her feel wonderful but at the same time it had taken a whole two weeks for him to actually come to terms that she wanted to have love made to her not him just taking as he pleased.

But with Sasuke, again, it was an entirely different story, they had never been intimate except the kiss that they shared. He had pushed her away when they were younger and seemed to ignore her for the most part. Though he had protected her and watched out for her on missions, that was just it, it was a mission that actually called for him to notice her. She was the one that sat in the hospital when he was sick or hurt, waiting for him wake up so she could be there for him.

She looked over the bridges rails to see the magnificent koi fish below her. She was fascinated with them. They were exotically colored which drew her to them, exotic things should be able to be together. She was exotic, as Daisuke had told her that many times with her petal pink hair and emerald gems for eyes.

But flattering words were not enough to make her be with a man. But what was, and that was what was causing Sakura to be so indecisive about what she should do for she knew that she would one or both of them in the end, there was no denying that fact. Someone would get hurt and in the end it would be all her fault.


Fire Country

Konoha

Hokage Tower

Counsel Room


There were seven people around the round table. Tsunade and the two Elders of Konoha Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane along with Danzo, since he insisted that he be included with the proceedings and Tsunade couldn't deny him that right since he was involved with the politics of Konoha and the Fire Country. Then there was the Daimyo and his two counselors that he brought along with him. The seven sat around the table with documents in from of several of them as they began to discuss the issue of Daisuke becoming the next Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"This is an interesting request Daimyo-sama, I have never heard of it before in the Land of Fire before, to have the heir take over since you are in fair health and there is a war raging.." Homura stated.

"I have told Tsunade-sama the reasons for wanting to let Daisuke be the Daimyo at this time. I am aging and I have been having health problems. I want to serve this country and the best way right now is letting Daisuke become the Daimyo. He may be young but intelligent and well respected."

"I don't doubt that," Koharu stated, "but this is a delicate situation. There is war raging in all nations and at this time you request for your son to take the title and he doesn't even have an heir. Being the Daimyo puts him in a compromising situation. More likely to be assassinated than he is right now though he has already had an attempt. This isn't just about you, remember that." The Diamyo's jaw clenched and then he shot a quick glance to Danzo, this would be a long discussion.

Daisuke was out touring Konoha. He had to admit it was a spectacular village. There were shinobi everywhere but also the civilians that helped make this village run its everyday lifestyle. It was quite refreshing to see something prosperous instead of the wooden halls and shoji doors of the estate. He was sure Sakura would have loved to have been there with him but it wasn't in the cards for her to return to her birth place and though she minded greatly he really didn't mind at all.

If she could forget about this place, then their relationship might improve. With the appearance of the Uchiha she had been different. More recluse and in a state of unconsciously thinking about something or someone. He was find when she thought but when he knew those thoughts were on someone other than him and it was identifiably the Uchiha, he got angry.

Village Pub

Night


They had seen the man approaching and started their mission. Ino was positioned across the street at a local inn looking out the inn window while Choji was on the same side just a little farther down at a tea house where he was currently drinking tea and eating dango.

Sai and Shikamaru were inside the pub, with Shikamaru at the bar pretending to get unearthly drunk while Sai sat at a lone table. The table was right in front of another table with a lone man sitting there as well. After about ten minutes of waiting a man in a cloak walked through the door and took the seat right behind Sais as he took a drink.

The man began fumbling through his pockets before he pulled out a scroll and set it on the table before he began to talk to the other man.

"There working on getting the boy placed. He's at the village right now discussing it with the others, but with his means of persuasion I am sure it won't be a problem. They don't have much to argue against."

"What about the girl?"

"She's been pretty quiet lately ever since the Uchiha failed a couple of weeks ago. She just sits out at looking at fish all day. She did tell the son about a relationship with her and the Uchiha, he was mad as hell, that's for sure, didn't want anything to do with her for days."

"Good, exactly what I wanted to hear, now what about that scroll?"

"This scroll was from him to you. His inside man at the village says they've been gathering information like crazy. The mist captured a rebel and they got a hold of him, apparently the boy can't keep his mouth shut for two seconds. Told them everything."

"Does he know about you?"

"Nah, don't think he does. I'm just a rat, I get the information at the estate."

"Good, I wouldn't want to leave a dead body behind." it was silent for a moment. "If that's all I'll meet you again in three weeks."

"Okay, sir." the chairs scraped as both men got up and exited the building at different times. Underneath Sai's table he drew a small bird and within seconds it was flying out an open window to follow the other man.

Five minutes after the men left so did Sai and Shikamaru. Turning on their mics they could hear Ino as she told them she would follow the man in the body of a bird that had just crossed her path. The three males gathered in the room where she left her body to take over the bird and sat and waited until Ino would return to her body which turned out to be an hour later.

She woke with a start and baby blue eyes blinked open. Gathering her bearings she looked at the males around her. Putting her palm to her forehead she tried to ease her headache by flowing a little medical chakra to quench the enormity of the headache.

"What did you find?" Shikamaru asked.

"He's heading south east on the same trail he came, though he's stopped for the night. Wherever he's going he won't make it there tonight. Do you want to follow?"

"No, we'll wait for about an hour and then head off, you need to rest." Shikamaru told her.

"Arigatou Shikamaru." She smiled at him before he turned to Sai.

"Where was the other man heading?"

"Deep into Rain. He was moving pretty quickly." Sai informed them.

"We'll see where this guy is going and then head back. You remember the information?"

"Hai, and I don't think Tsunade-sama is going to like it." He told them gravely and the mood went solemn.


Fire Country

Daimyo's Estate

Night


It had been one of those nights again where she had to seek comfort and relaxation in the lukewarm water. The water ran over her skin giving her a soothing sensation. She knew that Sasuke would be coming, but again she didn't know when and when she figured out that sleep would be utterly impossible she took to the washroom again.

Stepping out she again dried herself and slipped on her sleeping yukata and walked out into the room not caring that her hair was sopping wet and soaking her yukata. Her gaze flickered around the room to see if he was there but he wasn't. She sighed to herself and concluded he probably wasn't coming to see her, that was until she felt a warm breath on the back of her neck against her cool skin and hair.

Her body froze as she immediately recognized who it was that was behind her. Remaining stock still she waited for him to make the first move. They stood their her back to his chest as he evenly breathed warm breath across her skin almost scorching it and she released a shudder, no man had ever done this to her.

"Have you decided?" He asked in a calm, smooth voice. She didn't trust her voice and nodded. "Who?" it was dark and sensual making her want to cross that line so badly. She felt his hands grip her sides before effectively turning her around to face him.

Looking down at her face he could still the indecision she still held but there was also the certainty of who she wanted. He tipped her chin up so they were looking at each other, her up at him and him down at her.
"Who?" he repeated and it practically sent her over the edge.

She knew that when she told him who and she guessed he already knew, lines would be crossed and right at this moment she would be damned if the moment passed by her. Gathering her courage she looked up at him with resolution in her eyes and whispered 'you'.

It was his invitation to immediately kiss her, ravager her mouth with his and that was exactly what he did. He roughly pushed her body against his as a hand came to secure her head while he kissed her almost ferociously and she responded without hesitation kissing him back with equal force. It was what she had always wanted, but she still fought it.

"Sasuke." she breathed when he released her lips.

"Hn?"

"We can't." he stopped moving.

"Why?" he practically barked at her.

"It's not right, no matter how I feel for you." his eyes bore into her soul.

"I don't care if its not right" he spoke "it's what we want." he pulled her closer wanting to take her lips again.

"It may be what we want, but I can't." his mouth twitched in irritation. It was supposed to be easy getting her to do this, she wasn't supposed to fight it.

"Be selfish Sakura." He told her, running his thumb over her lips. "For once in your life be selfish."

She looked at him and when he said those words it hit her hard. She had always tried to not be selfish. She had strived to help people, care for them instead of herself. Marrying Daisuke was because she was selfless and cared more about her country and home rather than herself. What he said was true, she should be selfish if only for this instance, though it wasn't right and wasn't ethical.

She knew what he was trying to do. Play a game with her so that she would go to bed with him and honestly if she wasn't so selfless it would be an easy choice. But she was selfless and that wouldn't change but right now there was an opportunity that she had waited for years for and he was right, for maybe this one instance she could be selfish, and give in to what she wanted.

She leaned closer to him and gently brushed her lips against his. For one time she would selfish and do what she really wanted. She whispered and okay in his ear before mouth sought hers again letting her enter into a world of selfishness, deceit, betrayal and an overpowering lust for each other. Her hands weaved in between his hair as he took what he wanted and unlike the first time she let him, without stopping him.


Lime/lemon


He walked her backwards to her bed where he proceeded to push her on her back with him on top mouths still fused together as he continued to ravage her mouth, to taste, to feel, to conquer, to want. Though she tried to fight with her tongue she lost to him as he completely dominated her mouth causing her to moan.

She could feel his hands run over her. Her front, sides, hips, legs, back, they were everywhere and she wanted them to be. She had been starved of this man and now she was getting her full. His hands came to the sash at her yukata and with a slight tug, the yukata was open and pushed off and stripped of her body and thrown across the room.

The cold air of the room hit her skin and she shivered causing goosebumps to appear all over her skin as she had nothing on underneath. He let his hands freely wander the now bare skin, memorizing her and drinking her in. His own lips left hers to devoutly attack her neck and collar bone with kisses and nips as he went along, enticing moans to come from her and when he heard them they were heavenly.

She tried to gasp in air but it was almost impossible, she felt as if her lungs were constricted because of his movements and in reality they were. She arched her back when he sucked harshly on a piece of bare skin near her pulse. One of her hands fisted into his raven locks while the other clawed his shoulder through the fabric of his shirt.

Her hands wrestled with his shirt as she tried to hang onto him but after a while it became a nuisance and she removed the shirt with help from him so she could inspect the vastness of his torso. His once pale skin was slightly tanned now and showed off his lean muscle as he hovered over her. Her hands ran up and down his back and sides, nails scraping every so often, wanting to feel him before they made quick work of his pants and he helped her remove them and his boxers.

Her back arched again as he began to put attentions towards her breasts. She could feel his hands kneading them while he continued to kiss her neck and collarbone before he moved his head downwards so he could give them even more attention. Her mind reeled when she felt him take one in his mouth, her fingers digging into the skin on his back, and he growled softly.

Before she knew it her hands were again entangled in his hair an arm around his neck as he ravaged her mouth and then her breasts. He lifted his head to look down at her. Sweat covered their bodies as they were pressed together and without warning to her he entered her filling her with him, making her let out a cry of pleasure. He could feel her chest heave heavier into his and he smirked once again attacking her neck while starting to move in and out of her, causing one of her legs to wrap around his narrow waist and the other to crook up.

He could feel her fingers dig into his hair and scalp as he increased his speed and she began to let out mewls of pleasure and moaned his name due to his treatments. He could feel himself coming to an end and he knew she was as well. She bucked her hips against his a time or two letting him let out another feral grown as he kissed her yet again.

Within another few moments they both came, him falling onto her slick body after he came inside of her. Though he was partially tired his hands still roamed her figure memorizing everything that he now claimed his. Rolling onto his side he brought Sakura with him hitching one of her legs around his hips as they laid there on their sides.


Lime/lemon end


He looked at her face. Her eyes were closed and her lips open letting out gasps of breath. With one hand he brought her even more flush against him, letting her know in his own way that she was his. His hand then tangled itself in her hair and brought her mouth to his again in another searing kiss, depriving her of oxygen. Releasing her mouth he only growled the words 'your mine' before letting her drift into a sleep for a few minutes before he would wake her up so they could start round two.

Konoha

Hokage Tower

Counsel Room

Night


The seven looked at each other, each giving a silent nod to let everyone know they agreed. All the people in the room seemed tired and worn but they had been talking about this since early afternoon and it was now late into the night. Tsunade signaled that Daisuke should be brought to them and within five minutes the doors were opened and the man stepped into the room.

"Daisuke," Tsunade began "we have gone through much deliberation over your father's request to let you become the Daimyo at this time. If we have decided that you will be the Daimyo, then there are certain responsibilities that you must do. One is an heir. It has been an issue with our debate, is that you have no heir. This concerns us greatly, also you are still a young man of only 22. A Daimyo of your age is rare and your inexperience is also a concern for us, however with both your fathers and his counselors recommendation and support, this council has come to decision." Daisuke stood there looking at each member for a moment before looking back at the Hokage.

"We have however decided that you will become the next Daimyo."


How was that? was that good? so yes a few more little twists to add to the story. so how was the lemon/lime thing, it was my second one, so don't be too harsh on me.
