Enchanting
Author's Note: Thank you for all the reviews. We had one person say they didn't want Aoda to get a love interest. Anyone else wanna weigh in? We had lots of people express their sympathy for Sasuke. Sorry Sasuke, I had to add some drama into the story .. But don't worry, I only write stories with happy endings people. Oh and this chapter you all get a big lemon scene. Warnings are in place in case you want to skip it.
If you are good with a darker Sasuke, you might want to check out my new story Opportunity. Like I said, I only write happy endings. So don't let IC Sasuke scare you off ;)
Chapter Fourteen
"ARRGHHH," Hinata hears a voice cry out in utter agony from nearby.
She and Aoda had been searching for hours. Sasuke's chakra patterns were so erratic that it was hard to track him. At some point during the search, Naruto found them.
"Shit! That's Sasuke," Naruto says, instantly recognizing his best friend's voice.
"He's hurt," Hinata exclaims.
"We better hurry," Naruto yells and they flit off in the direction of the anguished Uchiha's screams.
Naruto had to admit he was worried. Sasuke was not the type to cry out unless he was in serious pain. He was a stubborn bastard. The blonde had once seen Sasuke accidentally step on a nail barefoot and not even wince. What the fuck could draw screams from the stoic ninja like that?
"Aoda go on ahead," Hinata instructs the nimble snake.
"Yes, Lady Hinata," he hisses out and slithers off rapidly.
"That is one fast snake," Naruto marvels.
"Yeah," Hinata agrees, racing alongside Naruto.
Aoda came upon the hide out. He could hear his master now. It didn't take long to find him. He liked to think of himself as an easygoing snake, especially compared to Manda. But he someone had hurt his Master. Someone was going to pay.
He slams his mighty tail into the side of the building. Sasuke's scent was coming from the left side. So he smacked the right side. He was too big to fit through the door, so he'd make his own.
Aoda quickly grabs his master by the scruff of his neck, thankfully Sasuke had always been fond of high collars. Rescue missions would be so much easier if he had arms. Oh well.
"I got you. It's okay now, Master Sasuke," he says slithering off, as he does so he twitches his tail, smashing whatever buildings were in reach.
That ought to slow the bastards down. He'd just take out their base of operations. At least he thought this was their base. The fact they had managed an attack in Mei's village indicated they might have more. But his first priority was getting Sasuke out of there.
"I got him," Aoda says, slithering towards Hinata and Naruto as fast as he could.
"Is he alright," Hinata asks.
"I think he passed out. But otherwise, I can't see any physical injuries. But that doesn't mean they didn't hurt him in other ways," the snake replies.
Naruto jumps onto Aoda. He was still creeped out by snakes. But Aoda was a good snake. Well if there was such a thing. He preferred his toads honestly. Still he trusted the Summon enough to get a better look at Sasuke.
Aoda was right. Sasuke had passed out. His expression was so damn tormented. It reminded him of what happened to Sasuke after Itachi had a go at him with his weird mindfuck jutsu. Dammit.
"His vitals are fine. He's right. Sasuke passed out. I think they used psychic attacks of some kind," Naruto informs Hinata.
"Let's get him to the hospital," the Hyuga says, joining Naruto on top of Aoda.
"I'll stop outside the gates. Naruto can carry him to the hospital. I think my presence would cause concern and we'd be stopped before we got him to the hospital," Aoda states.
"Good idea," Naruto agrees.
The snake takes off. Damn he was wicked fast. While finding Sasuke took hours, the trip home was only about 15 minutes. (Aoda knew where he was going this time.)
Once they were on the outskirts of the village, Naruto throws Sasuke over his back. He swiftly heads to the hospital. While it might not be the most comfortable way to carry him, the blonde was well aware that Sasuke would KILL him for carrying the last Uchiha bridal style. Hinata follows him.
"He'll be alright. Trust me the bastard is tough," Naruto says hours later, placing his hand on Hinata's shoulder in an attempt to reassure her.
"I know. But these people are sick. They actually want to breed clan members for super babies to fight in some army and to take over the world," Hinata replies.
"Yeah. But there's always some bad guy that wants to take over the world. It's our job to kick their asses and move on," he tells her.
"What do you think they did to him," she asks.
"No idea. Whatever it was…it can't have been pretty. It takes a lot to make someone like Sasuke faint without landing a hit on him," he answers honestly.
Suddenly, Sasuke's eyes fly open. Almost instantly they go from obsidian black to ruby red and lavender. He jumps to his feet and charges at Naruto, slamming him into the wall.
"Don't you EVER touch her, you fucking traitor," Sasuke hisses.
"Sasuke, what the Hell," Naruto asks stunned.
"Sasuke, what's wrong," Hinata questions cautiously.
"He's what's wrong. This whole village is wrong. We have to get out of here," he says, releases Naruto, races over to Hinata, and soon scoops her up in his arms.
"Sasuke," she squeaks.
"We got to get out of here," he repeats and darts off.
"…Hinata gets kidnapped a lot," Naruto mutters to himself, as he takes off after the bastard.
"You're not in your right mind. They did something to you. Whatever you think is going on, it isn't," Hinata tries to reason with her almost lover.
"They killed my family once. I'm not letting them do it again," Sasuke says to her.
"SASUKE WILL YOU KNOCK IT OFF. YOU ARE ACTING CRAZY," the blonde bellows.
"Damn him," the dark haired man mutters.
Sasuke growls. He'd always had a slight edge on Naruto when it came to speed. But he was carrying Hinata. Hinata wasn't heavy but it was enough to balance negate his advantage. Unfortunately, for Naruto, Sasuke wasn't opposed to fighting dirty. He drops some explosive tags behind him and goes flying off with Hinata still in his arms.
Hinata gulps. He was actually attacking Naruto. Well those were explosive tags. It would take a lot more than that to really hurt a Hokage, but still. Sasuke wasn't in his right mind. It was probably best not to protest at the moment.
Sasuke's natural element seemed to be the forest. He was able to flit from tree to tree. Even by ninja standards, he seemed to have an excellent instinct about which branches would support his weight and Hinata's. He was also able to bob and weave through the forest with ease. Their journey lasted probably the better part of an hour, before Sasuke jumps to the forest floor with Hinata still in his arms.
"We're here," he announces.
"Where is here," Hinata asks looking around and then she saw a large stone structure.
"One of my clan's strongholds leftover from a previous ninja war," he answers, taking her by the hand, and leading her inside.
"Oh," she says and follows him inside.
The first thing she noticed is the place was crawling with cats. Well that wasn't too surprising. The poor things probably saw it as a good spot to get out of the rain and a warm place to stay in winter. Then she noticed most of them were wearing Leaf headband and cute little ninja outfits.
"We weren't as well known as Kiba's clan for it, but the Uchiha Clan has always had ninja cats," he explains.
"Their so cute," she says with a smile.
"You can probably get away with calling the kittens that, but I wouldn't say that when the tomcats are within hearing range. They are VERY proud," he warns her.
"Got it," she replies.
"We'll be safe here. This place has stood for centuries. Nothing short of a nuke is going to take it out," he reassures her.
"Sasuke, the only people we have to worry about are the Chikara," she tells him.
"No. They aren't the only people. Don't you get it? They had my clan slaughtered. They'll do it again to us, if we stay. Naruto is probably just waiting until we let our guard down. Then he slam a kunai into both of our hearts," he explains.
"Sasuke, why would Naruto do that? He spent years trying to get you to return to the Leaf? It doesn't make sense," Hinata tries to reason with him.
"He wanted me to come willingly. Then he could take me out easier," the Uchiha counters.
"Sasuke," she sighs.
"You think I'm crazy," he accuses.
"No. I don't think you are crazy. I think they messed with your head. It's okay though. We can fix it," she responds.
"I can live with you thinking I'm crazy. I can't live with allowing something to happen to you," Sasuke replies.
"Alright. We can stay here for now," she relents.
There was really no point arguing with him when he was in this state. It was sweet really, in a twisted way. She got the impression his mind had been scrambled like eggs. But in whatever nightmare scenario the Chikara's had made him believe, his first priority was still her safety. He wouldn't hurt her. But he might hurt Naruto or the village in this state.
"Good," Sasuke says and gives her a genuine smile.
"Mhm," she replies.
"You hungry," he asks.
"A little," she answers.
"I'll get us something. I stocked this place during my travels in case of emergencies," he saunters off, presumably to whatever passed for a kitchen or food storage area.
Hinata contents herself to pet one of the ninja cats that wandered over. He was sniffing her. Probably trying to figure out who she was. He seemed to like his belly rubbed, because he starts to purr loudly and rolls onto his back.
"She tends to have that effect on people and apparently animals," Sasuke says with a small snort of amusement, carrying some jerky.
"She gives good belly rubs," the cat states.
"That's not all she's good at rubbing," he replies, causing Hinata to blush.
"Can I have some of the jerky," the cat asks hopefully.
Sasuke gets on his knee and offers the cat a strip. Said feline grabs it and trots off. His tail was swishing smugly.
"Cats are easy to bribe," Sasuke says.
"I guess so," she says with a smile.
Sasuke sits down and pulls Hinata down into his lap. The Uchiha hand feeds her some of the food he'd retrieved. Having her closer seemed to calm him down, at least somewhat. She could still hear his heart beating rapidly. He scared of something. He had a good pokerface, but the heart couldn't lie.
"You're heart is still racing. What'd they do to you," Hinata asks.
"They showed me things. Some were memories. Some things that were going to happen. I'm not going to risk them becoming real," he answers.
"What'd they show you," she asks cautiously.
"Memories of the massacre. When Itachi decided to do it. I don't know if that one was real or not. Images of you…dead or being killed," he answers.
"I'm right here. They were a lie. You know that right," she tells him.
"They weren't a lie. They were what's going to happen. The Leaf has NEVER let my family be happy. I'm…when I'm with you…I'm happy. They'll kill you because of that. You don't actually think after having Itachi kill all of us they'd let me have a second family," he says.
"Sasuke that was a long time ago. Your family was planning a coup. You aren't planning a coup," she tries reasoning with him.
"Why were they planning a coup though? Because that village isolated us! They blamed us for the Nine Tails attack. They never trusted us, especially the Second Hokage," he responds.
"It'll be different this time. Naruto is Hokage now. He's your friend," Hinata says.
"You're a good person Hinata. But you are too trusting. It'll happen again if we stay. Which is why we needed to get out of there. I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you," he continues.
"I feel the same way about you. Well minus the trusting part," she tells him.
After awhile, Sasuke and Hinata fall asleep. When they wake, Hinata hears something. She decides to go see what it was.
Sasuke wakes up and panics when he doesn't see Hinata by him. He goes to find her. He lets out a sigh of relief when he sees she had only stepped outside.
Sasuke saw what had her attention. There was a small village nearby, part of the reason his family had chosen this location. It was a civilian village. But a place you could buy supplies if you needed to. There were lanterns lit up, banners, and music playing.
"Firefly Festival," he says.
"Firefly Festival," Hinata asks.
"Around this time every year, the fireflies come out. That village made a festival in honor of this. Personally, I think it is just their excuse to get intoxicated and dance. But they seem to enjoy it," he explains.
"You say that like it's a bad thing," she muses.
"I've never been that fond of alcohol. Besides, I don't need it. If I want to be intoxicated, I have you for that," he says with a smile and wraps his arms around her, watching the fireflies.
"I never figured you for a romantic," she says smiling, leaning back into him.
"Only for you," he replies, placing his head on hers.
"It better be only for me. I'd hate to have to lock up some hussy's chakra points," she states.
"Hussy? Seriously," Sasuke chuckles.
"Too mean," she asks innocently.
"Most people would have used more colorful language," Sasuke answers.
"Oh," she responds, looking up at the Full Moon and down at the village that was about a quarter of a mile away.
"Besides, I promise you that you are the only woman I want. My Sharingan should tell you that," he tells her.
"Good," she replies with a blush.
"And if that doesn't do it, I can think of a few other ways to…reassure you," he murmurs into her ear.
Hinata blushes deeply. She wasn't really sure if it would be right or not. He wasn't under the influence of the lust jutsu. But other than a lot of paranoia about the Leaf, he seemed in his right mind…
"Sasuke," she squeaks.
"You're adorable. You are STILL blushing," he says, shaking his head and whirls her around to face him.
"Well when you talk that way," she trails off.
"Mhm. I can see why that is just so much more suggestive than grabbing my dick with your father sitting in the same room," he muses and twirls her as the music plays.
"Th-at's different. You started it by mentioning the Land of Tea," she protests.
"Uh huh," he says skeptically.
"It's true," she defends her actions.
"You are really motivating me to bring up the Land of Tea as often as possible, if that's the result I get," he says kissing her.
"You are impossible," she mutters, kissing back.
"Maybe," he admits.
Hinata was surprised that Sasuke seemed to enjoy dancing with her in the moonlight surrounded by fireflies. It was like something out of a fairytale. Then again, it was Sasuke so it couldn't be completely innocent. Once in awhile he would grab her ass or steal a rather heated kiss.
It didn't take long for his kisses to become more demanding. Hinata finds herself moaning into the kisses and arching into him. It was just kissing. There was no harm in that, even if he still dealing with the fallout from the psychic attacks, right?
"I just want to know that this is real," he murmurs undoing the sash of her kimono.
Hinata blushes deeply. Sasuke had seen her naked before. But she never got used to it. She supposed it might have had something to do with her upbringing. But mostly, she thought it was just the intensity of him. The way his eyes would roam over every detail, like she was the center of his universe. She felt completely exposed, even with her lingerie on.
"I'm real," she reassures him.
"Good. I'll stop if you want me to, but I really hope you don't ask me to stop," he states and looks at her expectantly.
"I don't want you to stop," she answers honestly.
It wasn't like she was taking advantage of him. He clearly wanted her before whatever the Chikara did to him. He needed her. Besides, who could say no to those ruby red eyes?
"Thank God," Sasuke says.
He had to be careful here. While his impulse was just to pounce and ravish. Hinata was still innocent in THAT respect. He had to go slow. Besides, he wasn't an animal. It wasn't like he was some caveman dragging his woman back to the cave. He had SOME self control.
Warning Lemon (Skip if that isn't your thing.)
He smiles and reaches behind her, going for that bra. Sasuke had learned that these contraptions were designed to fuck with him. He wasn't going to have that. He was a ninja and had ways of dealing with taunting clothing.
He summons his fire chakra to his fingertips and melts the little clasps just enough to yank the damn thing off her with ease. It didn't take long for him to tug off the lower half of her lingerie.
Perfect. Hinata was perfection standing naked in the moonlight. Hell even the fireflies were a nice touch.
"Beautiful," he murmurs as he kisses the creamy skin of her neck.
Hinata shivers. Her neck had always been sensitive. This was a fact that Sasuke had seemed to figure out early on. It was something he had proven himself to be all too eager to exploit. Still she should probably do something. The bluenette did not want her soon to be lover to think that she was a vanilla lover.
Sasuke's hands glide over her breasts. He loved everything about Hinata from her silky blue hair, to her expressive eyes, her curves, her nice round bottom, and her legs. But if you asked him his favorite part of her body, that wasn't….fit for discussion around kids, it was definitely her breasts.
He was distracted by his gentle exploration. So he could be forgiven for not noticing that Hinata had yanked off his clothes swiftly, that included his boxers.
"Damn you're sneaky," he mutters and nudges her till she was laying on her back.
"Wouldn't have been fair if I was the only one naked," she tells him, wrapping her legs around his waist, causing Sasuke to groan when their lower halves connected.
"You got me there," he replies and gently sucks and laps at one of her nipples with his hot mouth, causing Hinata to arch into him and whimper wantonly.
"Such an adorable sex kitten," he murmurs, sucking harder, and his hand trails south, till it finds her thighs and parts them.
"I'm not a kitten," she protests.
"Yes, you are. You like being petted, just like a kitten," Sasuke says as he runs his hand along her womanhood suggestively.
"Th-at's not fair," she moans.
"I'm a former Criminal Ninja. I don't do fair," he states smugly, brushing his thumb against her clit, and sliding one finger into her.
Hinata moans and pulls him down for needy kiss. Sasuke returns it with equal passion, while continuing teasing his soon to be lover with his hands. He loved the sounds she'd make. Every little moan, gasp, or whimper just drove him crazier. He knew he had to be patient though. He was also determined to get her off before entering her. That would make it easier for her.
He was surprised when he felt Hinata break the kiss by nipping at his tongue lightly. It didn't hurt. But the message was clear, Stop I have something else in mind.
Sasuke breaks the kiss and looks at her questioningly. The last Uchiha wasn't proud of it. But he actually squeaked when Hinata reversed their positions. Now she was on top and straddling his knees.
"Hinata," he asks.
"Fair is fair," she answers him cryptically.
"What are talking abo-ut," Sasuke starts to ask and that's when Sasuke's brain decided to take a lovely vacation, when Hinata wrapped her mouth around the tip of his length.
"Fuck," Sasuke growls out in pleasure and tried desperately not to cum right there.
Hinata smiles, satisfied at this reaction. It was always an amazing sight, to witness Sasuke lose control in any fashion. She wasn't sure what she expected. But this wasn't bad, there was a slightly salty taste to his arousal.
She decides to see just how much she could push him. So she swirls her tongue along his entire length. (She was pretty sure she wouldn't be able to take all of him into her mouth, she'd be lucky to manage half. But licking she could do.)
Sasuke was incoherent at the moment. He alternated between moaning, panting, and occasionally snarling. She knew the snarling was out of desperation and not because he was angry. Pleased with this result, she stops licking, and sucks on him.
"Fuck! Hinata st-op, I'm going to, NHHH," he pleads and arches, trying desperately not to lose it.
Hinata debates about just continuing anyway. She knew what he was trying to say and it would be nice to have him be the one to totally lose it for once. But she decides not to be that cruel, so she releases him.
"Fuck you are dangerous with that mouth of yours," he growls, panting.
Sasuke reaches for her. It was clear what he had in mind. He was going to switch their positions back. Hinata shakes her head. Sasuke tilts his head to the side like, What?
"I want to top," she states.
"Ohhh," Sasuke says and blinks, he hadn't expected that.
"I know that you like my breasts and this way you can see them," she elaborates.
Sasuke blushes. Was he that obvious? Okay, okay. Yeah he was. He nods his head though in consent.
Hinata also wanted to top for another reason. It would tell Sasuke that she wanted him just as much as he wanted her. It might reassure him. That and it did let her have some control.
The bluenette straddles his waist and slowly lowers herself down onto her lower. She winces in pain. Both because she was a virgin and well Sasuke was sporting an impressive "tail" according to the Monkey at that Zodiac Party.
Sasuke hisses in pleasure. It took every ounce of self control not to just thrust up. If he thought her mouth felt good, this was fucking Heaven!
She was so hot, tight, and wet. But he knew he had to give her time to adjust. He saw that wince of pain and leans up to kiss her apologetically. He hated to hurt her, even if it couldn't be prevented.
Hinata kisses back. She rolls her hips experimentally. Sasuke groaned and couldn't help bucking up into her that time. That felt good. Sasuke had hit something inside Hinata that made her see stars behind her eyes. Later she would realize that it was her G-Spot.
"Let me know when you are ready," he pants out.
Sasuke knew that he was walking some fine line between Heaven and Hell. Heaven because she felt so good. Hell because he had to wait for her to adjust. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity Hinata starts sliding against him. Thank you Gods and Goddesses!
Sasuke growls and eagerly matches her pace. He never knew anything could feel like THIS. Words were failing him at the moment, but even if they weren't he wasn't sure there was a word in his vocabulary that could describe how fucking good it felt to be inside her.
Hinata moans and rocks against him. She arched her back in pleasure. Sasuke grabbed her ass and guided her, setting the pace. Soon they were both lost in a sea of pleasure. She could feel her own release building. She cries out his name, at the same time he does hers, and they achieve their climax together.
That night Hinata found out that Sasuke's stamina applied to areas outside the battlefield. Once he was over the initial "deflowering" hurtle, he was more than ready to pounce. The rest of the night passed in a flurry of tangled limbs and needy moans. By the end of the night, she'd lost track of how many positions they had tried. She knew it was at least 4 or 5. But it might have been 7 or 8.
End of Lemon
Sasuke pants, trying to catch his breathe. He was damn sure that was just as good stamina training as any of traditional training sessions he'd endured. Wow. A new word was added to Sasuke's vocabulary. It was WOW. We are talking in all capital letters in a neon flashing sign. Yeah, that might cover it.
Hinata was curled up against him. At some point, she had fallen asleep. He wasn't sure when he had. He had only woken up a few minutes before. But he was enjoying the afterglow too much to move. That and she looked too cute to disturb.
"Mmm morning," she mumbles, sleepily.
Ah it looked like she was awake now. He smiles and gives her a good morning kiss. Actually he was kinda glad that they had done it outdoors. He wasn't entirely certain a bed would have survived the encounter(s) intact.
"I'll go back with you," he tells her.
"Really? What changed your mind," she asks.
"Naruto will hunt us down and I want to make you happy. If being there makes you happy so be it. I still don't trust them as far as I can throw them, but you I trust," he answers.
"Good. You'll see in time. The Chikara really did a number on you. But it's okay. They can't hurt you anymore. Oh and Aoda really did a number on their facilities," she points out.
"He's a good snake. Embarrassing at times, but loyal," Sasuke says in agreement.
"You really do have a lot of big snakes," she says.
"Well I have small and medium snake Summons too. He's just the most reliable," he explains.
"I meant the OTHER big snake," she teases.
"Ohhh," Sasuke says and feels his face heating up.
"I'm rubbing off on you. Normally I'm the one who blushes," she muses.
"You can rub off on as much as you like," he states smugly.
