Reviewers;

ColbyCox0916: Thanks, I never really liked Sasuke to begin with and yet somehow people adore his selfish desires all the same, so in this sense, he can just sit back and lay off.

Weldingman0315: Well, I think I'll leave his demise and loss of confidence for you to imagine, but I hope to get the feels and goings of the relationships abounding in great strides from this point on.

Duh Bomb: Well done again, Bomb. I like your analogy of the closet and the concussion analogies, as well as Sakura's crying in rage demeanor. As for Julliard, Sakura has told him of her time, but you have to remember that she was rather young while she was there, so not as many things happened, but I'm sure that the next few chapters will address that.

LimJJ: Thanks, and I might when I get the chance.

BreadCrumbs21: And may I thank you for the second time then. Thank you.

Czar Joseph: Oh! He completely deserved it.

Arc 2: Feelings of the Heart

Chapter 25: Rounding the Base

In the eyes of older humans and beings of wisdom, things move past them faster than they can turn their head, as the younger ones move without direction and without a known purpose for doing things. The old have wisdom from their long years, but not the energy to do so as the young do. However, Yuki Haruno never had to deal with that as her daughter was always beside her whenever she could be in need of the support.

Even when Yuki was in her office, helping as an assistant to the head of the firm of risk management, Sakura's portrait, with her emerald eyes shimmering straight towards her, stood tall and firm to her desk. Yuki smiled as she truly had such a well behaved daughter, and yet she saw the signs that Sakura was finally starting to behave like a girl her age.

She spent way too much time alone in her room with the door closed with Naruto, and Yuki believed that they had almost gone all of the way already. Her daughter she was sure would tell her, though embarrassingly, when she lost her virginity, but Yuki couldn't be happier for her daughter from when she first introduced Naruto to her. Yuki wanted Sakura to be happy, and if that was in some other city far away, she'd be okay with it, though she hoped that by that time that she could visit often and take care of her grandchildren.

Yuki paused in writing her report, and smiled slowly. When she had had the sex talk with her daughter, Sakura had already known all about it, saving Yuki from much of the awkwardness, but Sakura had shyly wondered to her mother if she'd be a good mother. From the last few weeks, she believed that Sakura would make a great mother.

It was because for the last two weeks, Naruto had been staying with them entirely, in the guestroom mind you, but being taken care of by Sakura. After the night, Naruto had been discharged from the hospital and he was told that he'd be dizzy for awhile. It was easy enough to say that Naruto didn't believe that until they were halfway down the hallway and he was sweating heavily and leaning terribly on Sakura's shoulder.

But Sakura didn't mind about helping Naruto one bit, and Yuki wondered if her daughter might want to become a doctor or physical therapist in the future. Sakura wrapped Naruto's arm around her neck and helped to steady him as they made it to the elevator and were soon in the car and Naruto passed out for a quick nap from the simple exertion.

Naruto had woken up just as they pulled into the driveway and it being a weekend still, he put up no resistance as both of the women helped him to the guest room and while her mother left after that, she wondered if Sakura had offered to help her boyfriend change out of his clothes. That would have been a most awkward situation.

But after church the next morning, Sakura had returned to find Naruto trying in vain to dress himself and standing up. She caught him and Yuki could hear the two of them arguing slightly while she did the laundry next door. Sakura was insisting that he stay with them for at least a week so that he could be at his best. Naruto would try to argue, but Yuki strained her ears to listen as Sakura used her charm to admit that she wanted him to stay to make her feel useful and content that he didn't hurt himself.

But the next few days turned into quite a surprise for both Naruto and Sakura's mother as Sakura became somewhat of Naruto's personal nurse, though Yuki had done that many times when she was still married…and it was Sakura's care of Naruto that the boy saw that she was doing for him. But then again, Sakura went out of her way, wet his forehead with a cool towel and at one point giving Naruto a shirtless sponge bath, before Yuki herself told her daughter that Naruto could wash himself.

It didn't stop her from babying him with feeding him the soup that she made herself, but Yuki figured that it was okay. Sakura would rarely leave Naruto's side, even joining him under the covers as they watched movies, and as long as they kept their clothes on, Yuki was okay with that.

After those first few days, Sakura and Naruto still went to school, but because of his still shaky demeanor, she had skipped a few of her classes and got late passes issued for walking Naruto to his classes separate from her, which was all but one class out of eight that they had together. Yuki could only shake her head at her daughter's overprotective demeanor.

When Ino had finally managed to pull Sakura away to go to her house for a few minutes, Naruto had made his way down the stairs as carefully as he could and knocked on the entrance to the kitchen. Yuki had only to listen to Naruto's utter confusion as to why Sakura was taking care of him and what he should do about it.

Yuki remembered the conversation fondly, ending it with a clear answer. "Do nothing and just enjoy it. Let her take care of you as she likes doing these things for you. It's her way of showing how much she cares." Yuki smiled at him and she swore that the boy hid some tears as he walked away.

He was sometimes such an emotional boy, and he was rubbing off on Sakura as well, as she opened up to others. Sakura had taken care of her own mother in the same manner when she was only in middle school, and it was her insistence and care that she was able to get out of bed and go to work. Yuki blushed a bit though at the idea of work…Sakura's insistence wasn't the only reason anymore why she came to work anymore.

"Yuki-San?"

Yuki looked up and a steady blush fell on her mature cheeks, as she smiled at the carefree smile of the coworker before. "What did you need, Maki-San?"

"Straight to the point as always, I see.: Maki smiled, but Yuki grew smaller in her desk chair. She didn't like to simply chat about outside stuff while at work, and she didn't work a real job in a long while before this one.

"Well, you see…um…" Yuki saw Maki blush embarrassed and smiled at him, making him pause and begin again. "Well, my secretary is sick and she says that she'll probably be sick over this weekend."

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that."

"Thanks. Anyways, our supervisor tells me that I still need to go to Suna for some meetings and a conference. Anyways though, um, I have an extra plane ticket, and I was wondering if you could help me out with the meetings. I've seen how fast you take notes and I really need to know what is said because I am terrible at remembering the exact details."

Yuki slid back and forth in her seat, thinking about the proposal. "When is it that you need me?"

"Tomorrow. I know it's extremely last minute, but since it's a weekend…It is Suna. We could check out those crystal caves you've been wanting to see there."

Yuki smiled at that. Maki remembered her break time researching a possible trip to the famous caves of Suna. She did want to spend some time with Maki and get to know him better. He was a really nice guy after all. She eventually nodded her head. "I'll have to make sure that my daughter is okay with this, but I'm sure that she'd be okay with it. I'll call you tonight?"

"Awesome!" Maki yelled a little louder in the office before he blushed and nodded his head. "I mean, that's great. Thanks." Maki soon walked away, and Yuki smiled with another blush as a fellow female worker looked to her and winked at her. She was a single mother after all, and Maki was a sweet guy.

It wasn't until later that night that Sakura and her mother were reunited, as her mother worked hard and so was often late so as to afford a retirement that she had never expected to pay for before in her previous occupation as housewife. But as the only bills to pay for were a car and utilities, among other smaller things, she was saving rather well, and so they could afford good food that Sakura and her mother tried to make together as often as possible.

And now, they sat down at the table in the dining room, their two seats tucked into the table as the two of them talked of the day's events over some spaghetti with pasta sauce and Misty (Swedish) meatballs. As Sakura spun her fork to wrapped the noodles around it, her mother froze before looking around the room and out to the door before back to her daughter.

"Sakura, where is Naruto?"

Sakura froze with a fork of spaghetti to her mouth and scowled, before growling at the thought of him. "He's working late…again…"

Sakura placed her fork back down onto her plate, and grabbed her glass of water, swirling it around inside the cup. It was now apparent to her for these last two weeks that Naruto had hidden his job at the local river docks from Sakura so that he could pay for the food and things he needed every month. His parent's death had given him a free apartment, but he still had a certain and unquenchable need for food.

Sakura wanted to pound him into a million pieces when he had simply dropped her off today before heading down to the river valley off of the highway. He was so Stubborn sometimes! Even now when he could just come over every night and eat with them like he had until two nights ago when he somehow decided that he was able to walk all on his own. She didn't approve of his walking around with her there in case he fell!

"What if he falls in the river, mom?"

"Sweetheart, the river's edge is only a few feet deep and he's working alongside many others. I'm sure he'll be fine." Her mother encouraged, but Sakura grimaced and took another bite of the dinner. Sakura could easily see them arguing over this kind of recklessness and an obligation of responsibility on each of their parts that Naruto was just going to keep insisting that he had to make his own way in the world. But a smile formed a bit at the edge of Sakura's mouth. She both loved and hated that need to prove himself to her about him!

"Sakura, I've been meaning to ask you something." Yuki broke Sakura's thoughts and Sakura looked over in suspense as her mother swirled the spaghetti around her fork rather slowly.

"What is it, mom?"

"Well, you see, my coworker has asked for me to go on a trip with him for business tomorrow." Yuki looked up to see Sakura nod her head for her to continue on with the explanation. "It would just be for the weekend, but I wanted to know if you think I should go."

Sakura smiled at her mother's concern, but shook her head back to her. "No, Mom. Of course you should go. You always have a great time abroad and you love to travel. If it's me you're concerned about, don't worry about it. I have everything taken care of. Plus, I'll be fine with company. I'll just invite Naruto over for the weekend."

"….Alright." Her mother nodded but stayed where she was as Sakura grabbed at her glass of water. There was a palpable silence before Ms. Haruno spoke again.

"Sakura, I want you to be safe about these things."

Sakura gulped down her water and looked at her mother confused.

"Mom? What do you mean be safe? I'll lock the doors and set the alarm."

"I-I know that you will, but there are other things that worry me….I-I know that being alone for a weekend and having a boyfriend means something, Sakura."

"Mom! I'm not going to have sex with Naruto yet!" Sakura rushed out, not comprehending her own words.

"Yet?" Ms. Haruno echoed and Sakura realized her mistake and blushed profusely. She wanted to place the blame all on her stupid naughty dream last night, one of her first that went all the way with Naruto, and now it might ruin her daily life.

Yuki put her hand over her chest and adopted a sincere yet hopeful expression.

"You mean…my baby has moved further to becoming a woman?"

"No, mom. Just kissing." Sakura uttered, holding her tongue from mentioning anything about showing her upper area to Naruto or anything else.

"Oh." Yuki sighed in relief. "Well still, I would ask that Naruto stay in the guestroom at night if he's staying here."

"H-Hai." Sakura blushed, knowing that there were a few sex-related square packages in the drawers just in case. Her mother was troublesome, but a virtuous woman, and yet…Sakura thought upon this situation more as the night wore on.

On the next morning sunrise, Sakura found herself dressed in her casual Friday clothes of a sleeveless vest and a skirt with leggings and boots, and standing next to her mother by the white picket fence near the road. Together, they watched as an airport shuttle pulled up the road and turned into their cul-de-sac and turned around quickly before stopping next to them.

As the white van's engine died, a younger man who spoke with a slight accent got out of the driver's side and moved to grab Ms. Haruno's suitcase for the jump to the next country. He quickly took the suitcase to the back of the van and sat it on top of other suitcases as this was the last stop before the airport, and his van was now officially full.

Ms. Haruno turned back to face her daughter and the two shared a deep, suffocating hug as they used their emotions and strength to send their feelings of worry and loneliness to the other, and yet as they parted, they each wiped away tears that were just beginning to form. After all, they hadn't truly been separated for a long while.

"Be safe, Sakura."

"I will, Mom."

"Brush your teeth, and remember to turn off the heater tonight."

"I will, Mom."

"And-"

"Mom!" Sakura giggled embarrassed as the other travelers inside the van watched them with bored curiosity.

"Right. Well, then one last thing. I love you."

"I love you too, Mom." Sakura smiled and Yuki took the tall step into the van before the driver moved to the driver's side and started up the engine. Just as he signaled to pull out onto the road itself, the sound of a muffled motorcycle sounded from the entrance of the main road, and Naruto turned into the cul-de-sac before passing the van as it moved towards the exit.

As the van turned around the corner and disappeared, Naruto slowed to a stop next to Sakura's frame and took off his helmet quickly before looking onwards in confusion towards Sakura. Sakura smiled as she reached down to the grass and grabbed her black leather jacket before she slipped the skin tight material onto her upper frame before zipping it up, a pink stripe becoming seen as she did so down the middle.

"I'll tell you at school, Naruto." Sakura answered Naruto's unasked question and he nodded before Sakura grabbed her backpack and swung it onto her back before placing herself back around Naruto's frame and held on tight as he revved his engine and sped off, towards the last day of the week to be spent at school.

As they arrived at the sophomore parking zone, they quickly got off and moved to the stone walkway that led to the school, but as soon as they could, they moved onto the dry grass that was now abundant on this spring morning. Naruto and Sakura held a blush upon their faces as their hands lay intertwined in the other, and they headed over to the small patch of trees at the corner of the school grounds, a tiny forest that some would call it, and where one could watch the students walking around in the early morning air.

The two stopped near one of the school benches and after Naruto sat down, Sakura laid across the planks of the bench, her head resting on Naruto's lap as they just relaxed as the day began. And yet even though it had just begun, so much had happened. Naruto could feel the subtle tension as his hands combed through Sakura's hair as he thought about her deeply.

It was with practiced ease that he knew that she was lost in her thoughts, thinking deeper and speaking as little as she could, because her focus was on something on a scale that made Naruto sometimes feel like an idiot and how lucky he was to have her as his girlfriend. So beautiful she was, with her slightly larger forehead to tell all that she was a genius, and that gave Naruto more space to caress her face and kiss her longer. Her hands were soft and feminine, her clothes starting to match her new personality, and yet keeping her looking like a cute teenage fox learning to survive with another.

Naruto's body shivered and Sakura moved a little higher up his lap, and he used his concentration to avoid another embarrassing fit of arousal. He felt like his girl and he were ready for the next step, but he didn't know how to proceed with talking about it. Ever since the hospital, he felt so sure of everything with her, and it had shown in their relationship for a while now. Their kissing were filled with more passion, a single touch burned through their skin, they could work side by side in class and at home without uttering a single word and know what the other wanted to accomplish things.

But Naruto could think about these things later on in the day, as now, he need to show his girlfriend that he cared to still know more about her and the way that her mind worked, though Naruto was beginning to think that perhaps that in itself could take up to a lifetime.

"Sakura, what are you thinking about?"

Sakura hummed in her throat before her voice spoke upon the wind to Naruto's ears.

"My mom is in Suna for the weekend."

"Oh? That's nice, I suppose. She thinks you're that responsible." Naruto smiled as he leaned down to kiss Sakura's knuckles on her prone hand. "It shows just how much she trusts you."

"Hmm…." Sakura hummed again as they watched more students began to trickle onto the school grounds. The classes would be starting soon, but they still had plenty of time to talk "…..Naruto, can we go to the movies tonight?"

"Of course." Naruto smiled. They always tried to go on a date on Friday nights.

"And then after…" Sakura's voice throbbed and faltered for a second before she whispered her request "…can you sleep over at my house?"

Naruto frowned a bit, not believing that Sakura was afraid to sleep in an empty house. "You don't want to be alone?"

Sakura pushed herself to a sitting position, and Naruto saw her feet swing just barely above the grass, her beautiful fingers now pleading with the other in frustration. "It's not that really."

"Well…what is it? Explain it to me."

"Well, Naruto," Sakura began, gulping back saliva that wasn't there, before her eyes become half-lidded, covered with her now longer hair. "I…I want to say that we're too young to do these kind of things, but I suppose we're ready for moving…you know, further."

And just like that, Naruto's mouth left him, and he felt like what knowledge he had gained in his life had just been thrown away. He couldn't speak; he couldn't think; and the only things that he remembered were those that concerned Sakura's well-being, and now with the knowledge that she wanted…to be more than intimate with him.

"Sakura, you really want to go further? Y-you want to have…sex with me?" Naruto uttered, his arousal helping him to think. But Sakura blushed profusely and hugged her waist.

"Not all the way, Baka! I just mean…further, I still feel inexperienced and nervous and like we could wait, but I feel so…safe with you, like…like going further would only bring us closer." Sakura paused to look at him for confirmation. "Do you feel that way?"

Naruto nodded as his teeth shined brightly, but with a rosy tinge into Sakura's eyes. "Yeah, I mean, ever since the baseball game, I feel like I can do anything as long as you are with me, if that makes sense."

Sakura giggled for the both of them. "It shouldn't make any sense at all, but my heart is throbbing because it does make sense deep down inside me."

Sakura looked around them, and moved closer, wrapping her arms around Naruto as they shared a passionate kiss before pausing as students gagged or made kissing faces as they passed by. Sakura continued on though, laying her head over his heart.

"I feel the same as you, Naruto. And now is the best time to do this kind of thing. My mind is complicated, but I'm just thinking that…we're never alone like tonight could be. Even now, students are watching us. At home, Ino stops by all the time or my mom walks in, just when…" Sakura gulped "…just when things are heating up. But Ino's going on a camping trip with Shikamaru's family for the weekend, and my mom's gone, and I just…I don't want to wait for another chance."

"You've really thought a lot about this."

"Yeah…"

"Okay. Tonight, I'll make sure it's special."

"Arigato…Naruto-Kun." Sakura whispered into Naruto's ear, her acquired Mist accent coming out for a second, and made Naruto shiver. He would have to make sure that all was perfect for tonight, so he had a lot of stuff to set up. Luckily, he had all of school to figure that out. Besides, Sakura could help him later on knowing what he had missed.

That evening, the room was dark and elevated by rows of chairs, ones that were comfy and where a great many had fallen asleep in, to be rudely awoken by their dates and well-earned of the shame that came from their tiring act. But at the moment, most females and a few in tuned males were sniffling and full blown crying into their partner's shoulders and chests as the main protagonist of the newest movie sacrificed herself for the world that would not know nor remember her.

And yet, the slimy, wet smacking of lips sounded louder than ever in the medium sized movie theater, and some couples grew closer with the romantic mood while others moved apart, too worried about doing something so indecent in such a public place. But at the sound of a feminine, muffled moan, people shuttered and cast annoyed glances to the back of the theater where some annoying teenagers were currently trying to hump their way to the happiness of heaven.

At the top of the theater were our two main protagonists, but unlike what Sakura had planned, Naruto had surprised her when he suggested they share a seat. It wasn't that she only wanted to cry into his shoulder; instead, his lips sucked on the nape of her neck. It wasn't that she just wanted to watch this movie for two weeks since it first came out; instead, they themselves were risking their reputations and general wellbeing to suck face as Naruto held her to within a centimeter to his chest.

Sakura herself gyrated her hips in response, loving the passion that Naruto had obviously been holding himself back from using, and her nether region grew moist as she felt his hardened appendage along her thing and her erratic motions were giving her a delicious sounding moan from Naruto's mouth as it made her mind still and become like a rabid bunny on the verge of biting into its next victim.

Sakura's breath shuddered with the rest of her body as Naruto left a slightly bloody bite mark upon her neck, before he nuzzled it with his tongue and looked up at her. She shivered at the look he gave her, and she wasn't someone who would willingly place such a permanent mark upon her temple like body. But if Naruto wanted to remodel parts of her that showed everyone that he loved her, then who was she to decline?

Sakura smiled as she lowered her mouth to Naruto's jawline and began to kiss along the edge, making Naruto gulp in knowing that he was about to receive a similar mark. He should have known that Sakura would insist that they share this mark of shame, just like the Christmas rings that they always wore every day. It was only because she was making him so riled up and rearing to move further that caused him to bite a little deeper into her skin than usual, but as she yipped rather excitedly and rubbed against his lap, he had been…preoccupied.

The two could barely see each other inside the darkened theater as the scenes became darker on the screen, but still they knew what the other was doing and react accordingly. It was like their neural connections were firing into the other and moving them on their own because as soon as one rubbed one way, a hand would move closer to a hot spot of rather sexual nature. Already, Naruto had groped Sakura three times, and she had slid her slender fingers across his bulge twice. Naruto hoped that this wasn't a long movie because he wasn't going to last through Sakura's ever teasing nature when it came to sexual conducts.

And just like that, a bright white light shone clearly around them, illuminating the precarious position that they found themselves in. Sakura was completely hovering over Naruto's lap, her knees pressing into his hips as Naruto's fingers moved around her unclasped bra while the other gripped at the skin underneath her skirt. The two broke apart their kiss rather quickly and looked through the light to see a theater official staring at them with a huge blush on her face, and Naruto held in a groan as Sakura's thighs tightened around him.

"I'm sorry," the girl spoke quietly, and the two noticed that she was a fellow student who went to their school. Her nametag read Amy, and Sakura thought that she'd seen her at the tennis courts practicing for their sets of tournaments. "I think what you're doing is really romantic, but you're too loud for this crowd. We've received five complaints, and so either you have to um, you know, stop or leave."

Sakura sighed and kissed Naruto on the cheek before turning back to the attendant. "Is the movie almost over?"

"Pretty much, though there is a sequel coming out next year."

"Oh well, we'll leave." Sakura spoke in finality and shifted her hips back, and Naruto bit his tongue as Sakura's hand ever so 'SLIGHTLY' slid across his clothed member. They weren't going to have sex, but any more of that, and Naruto might just spank her in retaliation to make them even.

"Sorry, everyone." Sakura whispered as she pulled Naruto along and they exited the darkened room, before they quickly moved outside to the covered parking lot and sped away, a little faster than Naruto's usual, and both could tell that they didn't want to stay for dinner and wanted to simply rush home and maybe once they were there, things could slow down…or not.

It was only twenty minutes later when the door to the garage opened as Naruto had parked inside it for once and the two teenagers stepped inside the house once more. Sakura sighed relieved that the lights were still off, as that truly meant that her mother was gone for the weekend and since the front door was locked, Ino would not be stopping by for a surprise visit.

"I guess that it's just us, tonight." Sakura spoke relieved, and turned back to face Naruto full forward. Sakura's blood froze at the sight of Naruto slamming the door to the garage closed behind him without looking back, his eyes with a tinge of red and staring directly at her womanly assets rather than at her face. Sakura's tongue slithered along her lower lip and felt her emotions take over her body as Naruto stalked towards her as if he were the predator and she was the prey. She'd prove to him that in reality, she was as much a predator as he was.

The sound of wood groaning creaked and echoed from the wall as Naruto pushed Sakura's back against it, rubbing the front of her shirt roughly as Sakura let out a gasp as his hands roughly slid alongside her breasts, but as soon as he stopped pushing, Sakura pushed and twisted and Naruto found himself pushed back into the railing of the stairs, Sakura jumping up to straddle his waist as Sakura moved his hands to cup her ass, something he realized quickly and gripped harder, before making his way up the stairs in hopeful lunges, as they stopped at every third step to plunge their lips into the other before beginning again and again.

Luckily, the door to Sakura's room was open, and Naruto felt Sakura's feet unwind from his waist and prepared to let go. Her feet though barely touched the ground before she used it to help her push Naruto back, his backside hitting her mattress, and leaving him stunned. Sakura quickly took the opportunity and jumped above him, moving to silence his lips in a heated lip battle to which neither would be able to win.

"You're so aggressive tonight." Naruto growled and reached forward to touch her hair, but Sakura proved stronger as her own hands gripped his waists and held them down to above his head on the mattress before they breathed heavily and broke their sudden emotional battle of wills.

"I just want to show you that I'm better than any other girl out there."

"You don't have to do anything to prove yourself. I already know that." Naruto smiled as her grip loosened and he reached up to grasp her cheek. Sakura blushed and leaned into it, before grabbing the other hand and dragging it along her front.

"Feel me up, Naruto. I-I'm full of adrenaline for what about to come."

Naruto quickly turned them over, but quickly slid her sideways as her head almost hit the end table and Sakura giggled as she began to kiss down Naruto's jaw as he leaned lower to her, his knee grinding a bit into her pelvis, and making her eyes glimmer in wanton lust.

"You liked being caught in the theater, Saku." Naruto smirked and licked alongside her earlobe, his fingers dancing underneath the waistband of her skirt, and slightly just barely underneath panties that kept her covered.

Sakura felt Naruto's fingers glide over her clothed opening and arched up, the feeling of his fingers next to her the most sudden and amazing thing that she had felt in her young, privileged life. She would have given up so much for Naruto to have done this to her earlier. Oh God! What had she been making fun of Ino for? This was the best feeling in the world!

"I suppose I do." Naruto heard Sakura squeak as she rustled about underneath him, the both of them feeling the wetness that signified that she was more than ready for what they had planned for tonight…..And yet…..

"….Are you sure about this?" Sakura's blank mind heard as Naruto's fingers retreated, and she leaned forward and look at her boyfriend and soon to be almost lover.

"Why are you asking that now?" Sakura pursed her lips as she felt the great vibe and mood that was beginning to slip. "We said we would do this this morning."

Naruto bit his own lip, and Sakura leaned forward to give a chaste kiss to keep the mood steady. "I know, but I don't want to pressure you." Naruto's fingers grasped the hem of her skirt, and Sakura stilled. "I'm afraid that once I take these off, I won't be able to stop."

Sakura giggled then, and smiled before she leaned forward and pulled him back down to her, lying them on the bed, him on top of her, and kissed his lips ever so slightly.

"Then don't stop." Sakura's words whispered as she held her confidence together as their eyes connected and they began to start a hopefully future ritual and rite of passage into their future relationship.

(Mature)

Naruto's hands wrapped around Sakura's slim waist, and though she had never really paid attention to her body in the past, she was glad that she was so light as Naruto picked her up as if she were a doll and laid her down on the bed, before he trapped her pelvis underneath him and his fingers grasped at the fringes of her shirt. Sakura let out a needful moan for his delight as he bunched the shirt up, dragging it higher until her red lacy bra popped into view as the material reached her neck.

Naruto lifted her shoulders up while Sakura let her arms fall back, the neck of the blouse moving over her as it slid up her arms before it was discarded along the side of the bed, before Naruto adjusted himself and it slid to the floor and out of view. Sakura herself grew wet as his fingers danced along her back, pulling and snapping at the hooks to her bra, and while Sakura loved the teasing, Naruto knew how to get her top off. He was simply teasing her because it made her all hot and bothered.

Sakura's chest rose and heaved as Naruto's fingers circled her aureoles and whimpered as he squeezed them lightly, knowing that his girlfriend was only getting more aroused and wanting to move on. He wouldn't stop teasing her until she told him to move, because then he knew that she wanted him to do rather 'naughty' things to her, and while he had many dreams of such things, he was as ill experienced as she was, and unlike Sakura, who could think things through and with backup plans, he could only go by the delicate and provoking sounds escaping from Sakura's orifice.

Sakura's bra snapped into two parts, and Naruto shed her of the bra, but he didn't take it off. Instead, he pulled the material harder against her and rubbed it up and down, eliciting pleasing moans as Sakura pressed herself into the rub down. Naruto slid the material off and looked at the slight sweat that had formed between the valley of Sakura's breasts and bent down, his tongue and lips pressing into the soft folds of Sakura's upper frame. Sakura herself pulled him closer to her tips and looked up as she rocked back and forth, trapping her boyfriend and yet herself as he licked, nipped, and sucked on her hardening nipples.

Sakura stiffened, her muscles tensed as ten minute passed, and still Naruto paid her breasts his utmost attention, not caring that Sakura's teeth were clenched tight against the knuckles of her fingers, trying to suffocate the moans that were directing him. Sakura closed her eyes and swayed her hips, before her pelvis slid against his aroused member and Naruto moaned into her tit, the vibration only causing her panties to get a little more drenched.

But the signal was heard from Naruto's eyes and his hands slid to her ass, each cheek being groped before the fingers found the zipper at the back and slid it down, every echo of every zip sounded as a minute took place to pull down such a simple piece of material. Naruto broke off his attention to her breasts and backed up, as Sakura blushed herself. They hadn't gone too much further than this and never showing of the lower half to their bodies.

Sakura stood up on her knees, her skirt falling to the mattress and Naruto licked his lips at the sight of Sakura's red lacy panties, which barely hid her sacred temple from view. Sakura's hands pulled him closer as she laid back down and he raised her legs up and kissed along them as he slid the skirt off, leaving Sakura in a single piece of cloth that only made the both of them more aroused at the sight.

Naruto stopped for a brief respite and simply looked at Sakura, at the way she bit her lower lip in anticipation, at the way her legs opened wider invitingly, at the wet spot and sliver of juices that flowed down her thighs, and yet it all paled to Sakura's smile and nodding for him to continue. She wanted him to start things off, but the mischievous fox inside of him wanted to play with her longer.

Sakura meanwhile flexed her muscles, opening her legs a bit to ease the tension there and then she froze as fingers tough the area in which the thigh met her pelvis. Sakura dared to not look down at where Naruto's fingers were but instead above her, where Naruto's face appeared. A guttural whimper formed in her throat as the fingers slid along her opening, the cloth touching her and making her gush slowly.

"D-Don't tease me, Naru~"

"I need to. I want you to be as loose as possible."

"W-we're not having sex. Just oral, Naruto."

"Can never be too careful." Naruto smiled with a blush on his face and moved his hand to scratch at the back of his neck. But it was when he tried to move it that his fingers pressed hard against the opening of Sakura's core, and they slipped the fraction inside her. Sakura moaned as her back arched and her legs curled down.

Ahh!...Ahh!..."

Sakura quickly sat up and Naruto cowered as she pushed against him lightly, her glare playful yet filled with annoyance and lust. Naruto groaned though as her knee slid along his shaft, and he looked at her as she swiftly removed his shirt, without him helping at all. His belt soon followed and it wasn't until her hands began to work on his pants that he sputtered his shock.

"Sakura?"

"Y-you did that on purpose…" Sakura breathed, her breath still absent from her lungs. She had never touched herself to that extent and yet, it felt wonderful! Even better than what they had already done. Her muscles had tightened and her neurons fired wildly. She wanted to feel that again, but she wasn't about to let Naruto control the pace anymore. If she wanted to start things off, then she'd have to suck him off first!

"Oh God!" Sakura stalled as the button and zipper were undone and Naruto's arousal was larger than she had expected. Whenever she saw a bulge, she assumed that he was as hard as he could be, but no! He was harder now than ever, and she was about to…..suck him….Sakura blushed as Naruto looked away.

"I didn't mean to, Sakura. I just…it slipped in…"

"I can't take you anywhere, can I?" Sakura's tongue slipped out, and Naruto looked up as Sakura shook her head. I suppose that I have to take care of you first.

"I-I can make you feel-"

"It doesn't matter anymore, Naruto. Ino told me months ago that a girl has to…well, please the guy so he'll be putty in her hands."

"…I'm already putty in your hands."

"I know, but unfocused. L-let's j-just do this." Sakura shook her head and reached through the opening of Naruto's boxers and both froze. Sakura's hand was wrapped gingerly around his member, and Naruto was bigger than her hand, but as Sakura moved her hand up, he jerked where he was, and Sakura smiled. She was in control.

Quickly, she relinquished her hold and they both worked to unclothe Naruto completely before Sakura coaxed him towards the edge of the bed where he sat with his legs wider than usual. Sakura moved beside his left side and lowered her head, her ass sticking out as Naruto's left hand rubbed the curve of her back softly as she prepared herself.

"Sakura…we can stop if you need to."

"No. I've put this off long enough. I want more, Naruto, and I want this." Sakura finished as she reached forward with her hand, lowering her mouth to Naruto's tip, and her tongue slid out, as the process began.

"….."

"….."

"…"

"…Sakura?..."

Sakura's hot breath tickled along Naruto's shaft, but he was concerned because Sakura was breathing heavier than usual.

"Sakura…..you don't have to-AHHH!"

Naruto lost his words as Sakura sunk down until the tip of his cock was completely inside her mouth and as she stopped and began to bob in short distance, she sucked on him lightly and hummed through her throat. Naruto breathed a little heavier, and felt like crying. He should have known that his girlfriend would push herself faster to do things.

He had expected her to give most a hand job with maybe her tongue at the end, but…Ah….her tongue wrapped around his member as she slid him further down her throat, and Naruto's hand on her back gripped her in place, his right hand moving into her hair to keep her firmly on his cock.

As Sakura backed up, her body found itself held still and her mouth was still full of Naruto's length. She felt his hand in her hair and loved it. He was taking charge of things finally, and now she could only go deeper with her throat. Sakura moaned lightly as Naruto's left hand slid to her ass and began to worship it with deep massages and a playful spank or two.

He was encouraging her onward and she was thankful for that. She should have eased herself into this as her throat hurt and her mouth watered as she sucked the thick length that filled her mouth at the moment. But no; instead she did things like she always did. She analyzed his cock and knew that he'd fit, so she pushed herself down and it Barely fit!

'God, this tastes so good.' Sakura wished she could speak to Naruto and pushed herself lower, breathing through her nose as the cock moved down her moist throat. She dare not open her ass as she felt Naruto stiffen below her. She knew that due to their inexperience, it would be fast, but she wanted more time with him.

Sakura shrugged and dived down her own throat until she held in a gag as she heard Naruto moan and warn her that he was at his limit, but she could feel it coming. There was a science to this that she wanted to know through sexual deeds now as she felt Naruto's legs spasm and his hand pushed her deeper even though she couldn't go deeper. But she Did! And that was when Naruto unleashed his load of sixteen years of no sex and it easily slid down Sakura's throat, and she gulped it down, not wanting to gag or cough it up. She didn't want to see it, as it might freak her out, but it tasted…okay.

It was over pretty quick, but Sakura lightly sucked on Naruto's limp cock, the semen being drank as it reached the lips of her mouth. Sakura opened her eyes as she popped it out and it looked…satisfied? She smiled and kissed it lingering before she sat up, Naruto's hands helping her up before she gasped as Naruto kissed her and groped her tenderly.

Sakura closed her mouth and looked away, Naruto looking at her confused as she looked to him sadly. "Naruto, I don't want to taste bad for you."

"You're perfect, Sakura. I-I didn't….you were great….um…I want to thank you."

"Well, don't kiss me yet." Sakura sent her boyfriend a lingering smile. "Let me brush my teeth, okay?"

Sakura moved to get up, but an arm wrestled around her waist and threw her a little too roughly to the mattress. Sakura was dazed, and yet felt content as Naruto lowered himself to between her legs, and Sakura sniffled as he raised her body with her pillow underneath her. "Naruto?"

"Don't get the wrong idea, Sakura. The pillow just helps with the angle."

"…You've been reading naughty fanfiction, haven't you?" Sakura pouted, since she liked to read it with him.

"A little." Naruto looked at her mouth and Sakura quickly wiped some leftover saliva that had remained on her. If I can't kiss those lips, then let me kiss another.

Sakura blushed intently and looked away, but her legs widened and her arms covered her face and breasts. Go ahead…..I just hope you approve…

Naruto laughed breathily as his hands grazed over her panties. I'll always approve. And with a slow motion, he slid the panties down and off.

Sakura felt the cloth stick to her slightly, telling her just how aroused she was, and she braced herself as her lower self was shown. Only Ino had seen her like this in the showers because Sakura still hated the group showers and hid behind her, but would Naruto like them? He needed to….

"…..Oh….."

"Oh?" Sakura repeated, her fingers opening so that her eye could see Naruto's neutral expression. Oh good or oh bad?

Naruto looked at her and leaned forward….oh Perfect.

"AW NARU~" Sakura squealed and fell back on the body length pillow in ecstasy. When Naruto leaned forward, she didn't see his fingers slid barely inside her and widen her entrance. Now her muscles contracted and tightened against his assaulting digits and she slid her hip forward to get more inside her.

But Naruto pulled back and lowered his head, as his own tongue darted out and slid along her slit and Sakura's juice flowed out with ease with nothing to hold it back. Sakura's brain left itself in hibernate as Naruto's fingers moved deeper inside, not too far at a time, but enough for Sakura to moan and utter her boyfriend's name as he did special things to her.

Naruto's head was between Sakura's legs, and his tongue slid a little with his fingers inside her, and Sakura shuttered beneath him, and more juice flowed out. She tasted with golden ichor and sweet nectar, and his mouth was busy to drink it as he nibbled here and there, mapping out where Sakura was the most sensitive and where she liked it best. Already, she was nearing her end, as Naruto cursed a bit as her hand pulled on his hair, but he breathed in her scent. Oh God he loved her sacred temple and her soul and spirit as well.

Naruto knew that he'd be down here on his knees more than just tonight. He wanted all of her juices, and he wanted to feel her more, as his other hand reach up and gripped her breast, throwing Sakura into a jumbled mess as she squirmed above him, but her whispers told him that she was loving his actions. Forget teasing her; she was teasing him and he would easily be willing to spend his high school life under her skirt, his hands on her breasts, and make her feel this way.

Naruto's finger left her hot core and joined its partner on her other breast and Sakura looked down at Naruto's face inside her center, his strong hands molding her chest, her teeth biting into her lower lip, and her hand pulling and holding him there. Was she even in control, or was he? It felt like they were in equal agreement, and Sakura opened her throat as the pleasure was too much and she let herself go.

Naruto's arms felt Sakura's stomach clench and her other hand pulled him tight against her core. She wanted him to stay there, and he had no rejections. In fact, his hands pinched her nipples as her first wave splashed against his mouth, prolonging her first orgasm as he drank from her holy spiritual presence that she gave to him.

(End Mature)

Sakura's breath had never returned after a full minute of bliss, but it did as Naruto's mouth brushed against her sex as he moved himself back up, and Sakura moaned in wanting of even more, but she'd hold herself back. They weren't heading there yet, but eventually…Sakura smiled. Naruto was her chosen one for Destiny.

Naruto moved to sit up, but his arms failed him after the ordeal and he let himself slide next to Sakura's frame, before she turned to her side and scooted firmly against him as his member pressed against her ass. Naruto's hand was pulled over Sakura's as she wanted him close and his eyes closed as well as hers as they wandered in the bliss.

"Mmmm…Naruto~" Sakura moaned as Naruto's hand began to play with the tip of her breasts, his finger circling around it. "I'm so sore there."

"I'm hoping that means that I did a good job?"

"Mmmm…You were perfect. But…maybe a little less passive next time?"

"Next time?" Naruto asked, as Sakura heard his hopeful voice behind her and smiled, a red hue joining her cheeks as her brain turned itself back on.

"Next time…."

They just laid there, not doing anything besides basking in the mood of the night. Somewhere in the few minutes, Naruto put his boxers back on, and slid Sakura's panties back on her sex, but she remained topless, as Naruto's hand still lingered on her breast. He was rather fond of it, and she was becoming used to the wonderful feelings that it elicited from her core.

Sakura's eyes were closing as she felt the bed shift again, and she leaned her head over and held Naruto's retreating hand on her arm as she looked to see her shy and embarrassed face.

"Naruto, where are you going?"

"Well…your mom told me not to sleep in your room." Naruto's ears turned red, and Sakura blushed as her mother might have known that Sakura might due something like this. But Sakura rolled her eyes and smiled before she lightly pulled Naruto frame back to the bed and kissed his cheek lightly.

"What momma doesn't know won't hurt her. And besides, I need to know that I'm safe."

"Safe?"

"I…feel so insecure right now. I'm vulnerable." Sakura masked her voice into a playful, worried one and cast worried eyes at her boyfriend. Naruto though smiled and sighed further into her, retaking his place behind her and squeezed her nipple a little forcibly.

"You are such a vixen sometimes." Naruto spoke as Sakura mewled, but leaned in closer to him.

"And you are my fox who I love to cuddle with after such a rush." Sakura panted as Naruto let go and breathed into her ear. They both closed their eyes and listened to the other breathe, soon passing out from such gentle sounds, and with the air around them that smelt of their pleasant love making.

AN: And there you have it.
