Chapter Twenty;

Sasori and Evelynn had been traveling North for three weeks, now. Already, Evelynn had received word from Mira and Shoto. Shoto had safely led her rebel camp to the new main one, and Mira was currently training the small rebel camp of young men in the ways of a medic. Within two weeks she would be moving them North to the main camp. So far, everything was on track. Evelynn had also been informed that Deidara and Itachi had their chakra seals removed. Honestly, she felt a little pressured to hurry up, and help Sasori with his seal. Still, as much as she hated to admit it, she was scared. She wasn't completely sure why, she just knew she was. Suddenly, Evelynn felt Sasori grab her upper arm, and he pulled the two of them behind a boulder.

"Pay attention!" He hissed in her ear. "About fifteen of Hanzo's men are right in front of us! We'll be lucky if they didn't see us."

"We can take fifteen men." Evelynn growled back in annoyance. More with herself than him.

"Fine, you go out there, and get yourself killed." Sasori snapped back.

The red-headed woman glared at him, stood up, and then stepped from behind the boulder. Sure enough, a small troop of Hanzo's men were about six yard away.

"Hey, morons! Over here!" Evelynn yelled as loud as she could, and waved hand in the air.

The men caught sight of her, gave a battle cry, and then all fifteen rushed towards her. Sasori groaned, and smacked his forehead against the palm of his hand. He went to get up, and stopped when he saw Evelynn's glare.

"I don't need your help." She snapped at him. He blinked in slight surprise, but then glared back.

"Fine." He stated coolly, and leaned back against the boulder.

Without another word Evelynn ran towards Hanzo's men. What in the world made her suddenly so bold and defensive against Sasori she didn't know. Really, she could take on fifteen men by herself. She, Shoto, and Mira had done it many times. Still, it was a dangerous thing to do, and they definitely didn't do it if they could avoid it. Evelynn readied her fist, and swung and the closest soldier. His head flew backwards, and you could hear the 'crack' as his neck broke.

The young rebel woman ducked under a sword, and slammed her fist into the stomach of another man. He flew back about five feet, and rolled back as he slammed to the ground. Sasori watched as Evelynn ducked, swung, dodged, and hit. It was interesting to watch her, he took note. It was almost like she was dancing a dance only she knew the movements to. It was almost, almost enchanting. Then, Sasori noticed one of Hanzo's men, whom Evelynn presumed dead, move from the ground. Just as the man hurled himself at Evelynn, and the red-head turned, Sasori shot his bladed boomerang at him. It embedded itself into the mans neck, and everyone froze.

The soldiers dagger was centimeters from Evelynn, and by the way it was angled it would have pierced her heart. Evelynn was panting, and watched as blood dripped from the man's mouth. Slowly, her eyes trailed from the blade in his neck, up the chain, and stopped on Sasori. He was watching her with slightly wide eyes. He had almost lost her. Before anything else could be done Evelynn ran to him. She couldn't remember running to anyone since she was a little girl. Yet, none of that mattered. Nothing mattered except getting to him.

Sasori dropped his chain to the ground as Evelynn ran to him, and wrapped his arms tightly around her as she threw herself into his arms. Their lips crashed against each others in a heated kiss. Her fingers tangled in his hair, and his fingertips dug into the flesh on her hips. After minutes they finally pulled apart gasping for air.

"Don't do that again. Ever." Sasori panted out.

"No promises." Evelynn responded.

Again, no more words were said. Sasori pulled her against him, and captured her lips with his. Only this kiss was a lot different. It was softer, but just as passionate. He gently massaged her bottom lip with his tongue. Unsure of what to do, Evelynn allowed him to enter her cavern. His tongue traced every detail of her mouth, and the way his tongue massaged hers caused Evelynn to whimper. Sasori smirked, and Evelynn was going to pull away. He took note, and held her tighter.

"Sasori, I.." Evelynn trailed off as he started to kiss along her jaw, and down her neck.

Evelynn gripped his shoulders, and her knees almost gave out as he found her soft spot. Gently, he nipped as sucked on the spot, and Evelynn could have screamed at the sensation.

"W-wait!" Evelynn gasped out.

"Hm?" Sasori looked down at her, and raised an eyebrow.

"This." Evelynn muttered as she pulled out the silk pouch.

"Oh, right." Sasori frowned.

"What?"

"That's the only reason you're doing this?" Sasori inquired. Evelynn slapped him. "Dammit, Evelynn!"

"No, that's not the only reason!" She snapped, and crossed her arms. "I actually.. Well, I.."

"Well, what?!" Sasori snapped back as he rubbed his cheek.

"I'm in love with you, you idiot!" Evelynn almost hit him again, but he grabbed her wrist.

"I love you, too." He murmured. Again he kissed her, long and hard.

"I.. I have to make the.." Evelynn stammered as they pulled away again.

"Alright." Sasori's tone was soft.

Evelynn used the faerie wing dust to make the star. As she finished Sasori came up behind her, and pulled her back against his chest. Gently, he started to suck on her soft spot again, taking on where he left off just minutes ago. Evelynn sighed, and leaned against him. Closing her eyes, and taking in the sensation.

Slowly, Sasori started to run his hands up and down her sides. He could feel with his fingertips the scars from previous battles. Not like to soft, smooth skin he was used to. Yet, that didn't mean a thing to him. Not this time. Evelynn shivered at his caresses, and Sasori smirked against her neck. His hands trailed up to her chest bindings, and he slowly started to unwrap them. Evelynn's stomach churned. She'd be lying is she said she wasn't nervous, but it was too late to go back now. He dropped her bindings to the floor, and gently turned her to face him. Shyly, she tried to cover her chest.

"Don't." He whispered huskily against her ear, and gently moved her arms to her sides. He dipped his head, and took a nipple in his mouth. Evelynn let out a soft yelp at the new feeling, and gripped his hair with one hand while holding onto his shoulder with the other.

Sasori suckled gently on her perked nipple, and softly grazed his teeth across his. Evelynn shivered, and let out a soft whine. Sasori growled against her skin, and slowly trailed his hand o her other breast. Gently, he squeezed the soft flesh, and teased her nipple by running his fingers across it, but never really touching it. Evelynn whimpered again, an almost pleading sound. In all honesty, it drove Sasori insane. The usual feisty, defiant red-head was in his complete submission, and he knew it. The thought alone made his member throb. Slowly, he laid Evelynn back in the middle of the star she had made with the faerie wings dust.

"Are you sure about this?" He murmured against her ear. "If we start, I won't be able to stop."

"I'm sure." Evelynn responded firmly.

Sasori gently pushed her legs apart with his knee, and settled himself between her legs. He unbuttoned her pants, and slowly slid them off her legs. Evelynn looked up coyly at him, and the look was enough to drive him over the edge. Damn her. How could she look so damn innocent after everything she had done and been through? Well, now wasn't the time to think of that.

Before Sasori could remove his own shirt and pants he felt Evelynn's unsure fingertips start to trail up his stomach. He watched as she uncertainly ran her hands up his shirt, and helped her to remove it. She gave him a curious look, and he raised an eyebrow. Slowly, she placed her hands on either side of his face, and gently placed her lips against his. Sasori sighed into the kiss as he pressed his lips more firmly against hers. It shocked him when he felt the tip of her tongue gently glide across his bottom lip. Still, he allowed her entrance, and it amused him how shy her tongue was. Slowly, tentatively, she explored his cavern. He groaned into the kiss, and the sound sent a tingle up Evelynn's spine.

As they kissed Evelynn's hands found the button to his pants. Again, cautiously she unbuttoned them, and he helped pull them off. The two met each others eyes. Evelynn could see the passion, love, and caring in Sasori's usually emotionless eyes. Sasori could see the love in hers as well. Yet, he also saw the uncertainty in the usually defiant and confident eyes.

"I won't hurt you." He murmured.

"I know." Evelynn nodded slightly.

Once again, Sasori gently led her so she laid back on the ground. He hooked both of her legs around his waist, and positioned himself at her entrance.

"It might be a little painful.." He warned softly.

"I'm ready." She responded firmly.

Sasori nodded, and slowly pushed himself inside her. Evelynn shifted uncomfortably at first as she adjusted to his size. Sasori waited patiently until she stopped fidgeting before he continued to push further inside her, and paused when he reached her virgin barrier. He gave the woman below him a curious look. Evelynn bit her bottom lip, and nodded to let him know to continue. As gently as he could Sasori pushed through her barrier. Evelynn whimpered, and buried her face into his neck. Sasori went to pause, but Evelynn shook her head.

"Don't stop." She whimpered.

The tone of her voice made Sasori let out a soft growl. It took every ounce of his being not to completely thrust into her, and make her his. Slowly, he pushed through her barrier, and paused to let her adjust. There were tears in the cornered of her eyes. Yes, it hurt terribly, but Evelynn wasn't one to scream out when she was in pain. She would grit her teeth and bare it until the pain subsided. Sasori knew this, and wanted the pain to be over with quickly for her.

Slowly, he started to push in and out of her. Evelynn squirmed beneath him. Her legs tightly around his waist, and her fingers digging into his shoulders. Sasori started to go a little faster. Evelynn noticed the pain was subsided, and she loosened her legs grip around his waist a little.

"Is the pain going away?" Sasori whispered against her ear.

"Y-yes." Evelynn whimpered.

Sasori groaned slightly against her ear. Evelynn's breath hitched, and he started to pump in and out of her faster. Her back arched as waves of pleasure started to run through her. Sasori noticed, and tangled on hand in her hair, while the other gripped her hip. He started to thrust a little harder, and Evelynn cried out at the sensation. Every spot he hit was sending a flash of pleasure through her body. Even the feeling of his hand gripping and slightly tugging at her hair, and his fingertips digging into her hip was triggering feelings of bliss.

Evelynn felt a knot form in her lower abdomen. She wasn't sure what it was. At first, it was slightly uncomfortable. Then, it stared to get tighter, and the tighter it got the better it felt. Sasori was whispering sweet and dirty nothings in her ear, and that was adding to the ecstasy she was feeling. Sasori could feel her getting tighter, and knew she was reaching her peak.

"I want you to cum for me." Sasori murmured against her ear.

"Huh?!" Evelynn didn't have time to really react.

The tone of his voice sent a chill down her spine, and with a final thrust deep into her something snapped. Evelynn saw stars, and for a moment she thought maybe she had died. Hearing Sasori let out a growl assured her she was still very much alive, but she was also sure she was in heaven.

Her fingernails were digging into the flesh on his back, and as she rode out her orgasm Sasori finally reached his peak as well. He let out a soft growl as he released his seed in her. His hand gripped her hair and hip tighter as he did so.

The two panted hard as Evelynn looked up at him, and he looked down at her. The two were slowly coming down from the high they had just experienced together. Never before had Sasori felt like this while making love to a woman. Then again, Sasori hadn't actually loved the other women. Evelynn herself had never experienced a rush like this, not even when nearing death in a battle.

"I really do." Evelynn suddenly spoke softly.

"Really do?" Sasori inquired.

"I really do love you."

"I really do love you, too." He murmured as he kissed her softly.

Rarely were the two ever affectionate with each other, and they doubt that would change even now. Still, Evelynn wanted him to hear her say it. Almost as if she were confirming it for herself and for him. If they had spoken about it, Sasori would have agreed.

"The seal is gone." Evelynn noted as they slowly got dressed.

"I wouldn't give a damn if it wasn't." Sasori replied emotionlessly.

Evelynn just shook her head. Though, in her heart, she knew that it was the truth. It possibly had been from the very beginning. With one last chaste kiss the two took off North to the farm house Kumo was rumoured to be at. Even if their love was confirmed, there was still a war approaching. Silently, the two swore they wouldn't let anything happen to the other one. Their own little secret.
