Chapter 50
It was still dusk and the carriages are on its way back to the mountains. Suigetsu took the opportunity and sleep on one of the carriages while Jugo was still wide awake and is sitting beside the very frightened stable man. Like Suigetsu, Sasuke was also sleeping.
Chizuru went to his side and put a blanket over him. He must have been tired from chasing after Miyowa's carriages to find her. she smiled at the thought, maybe it's just a chore for Sasuke to come and find her but it still made her feel special.
His jet black hair was being swept by the chilly air coming from the opened carriage window as he sleeps. She spent the time looking at his peaceful sleeping face and admiring his features. Thinking about how their baby will look when it is born, will the baby have the same eyes, nose and mouth as him or her?
Sasuke was awoken by the chirping sounds of the birds flying outside the carriage. The sun hasn't risen yet but the sky is already clear. Then his eyes went down to the woman sleeping on his shoulder. He heard her moan in her sleep and snuggle up to him closer beneath the blanket.
'Is she cold?' he asked inwardly, pulling the blanket and covering her body. His brows pulled together wondering why does the carriage have only one blanket, then his eyes flew to the properly folded blanket placed above the carriage seat across them.
He chuckled, wrap his arm around her waist and pull her closer. The way she snuggled up to him, nobody would think she wanted run away from him last night.
Sasuke heaves a sigh and just looks outside the carriage window. He can't remember the last time he felt light and contented like this. Ever since he left Konoha, he was always absorbed by pain and hatred from losing his clan, his family and his brother. He is waking up every morning feeling empty, with only his ambition to get revenge urging him to continue living.
Then he looks down at Chizuru again when he felt her move and started to wake from sleep. Her sleepy eyes went up to him and stare for a moment before realizing their position.
Chizuru immediately back away from him and sit properly, combing her hair with her fingers. Embarrassed, she pretends to be busy looking at the mountains outside the carriage window. At the back of her mind she wanted to kick herself from being caught snuggling up to him.
"Oh, this is just great. I was snuggling up to him like a pampered kitty after telling him to leave me alone last night." She wanted to bump her head on the window.
Sasuke just stare at her, "Do you feel dizzy or nauseous? We can stop the carriage if you want"
"No, I'm fine." She said,
"Then are you hungry?" he can see that she is blushing up to her ears right now and he finds it cute.
"No, I'm fine." She glance at him "T- Thank you." She stammered,
Sasuke just rolled his eyes; he can't still comprehend her sometimes, her sense of independence was quite something. She can be hard headed and doesn't listen to anyone.
Chizuru sighed as the face of the mistress cross her mind. She can almost hear her say 'foolish daughter' in her mind. The mistress for sure have already gone back to Aria's house by now and reported to Tobi about what happened last night.
Last night. Then her crystal blue orbs went to the carriage seat across them. She felt her cheeks burning from looking at the carriage's seat cover. The mistress might give her an earful scolding when she saw those stains.
"Thinking about what happened last night?" he whispered,
"I'm not." she didn't notice that he was too close to her until he whispered to her ear.
"You are." He kisses her neck as his hand caresses her thigh on a circular motion.
"Sasuke," Chizuru called, resting her head on the carriage seat when his hand slipped inside her black skirt and rub his fingers on her hot core against her panties.
"I also want to fuck you right now but I'm afraid we'll disturb the stable man and the crew," he whispered while planting small kisses on her neck, "Besides, my back is hurting because it's too cramped in here."
"You, red eyed pervert." She snorted and removes his hand, blushing even more.
"We'll be arriving at Horong shortly," said Sasuke, Horong is a small Village before the mountains where Aria's place is located. "We will attract too much attention if we walk in groups so the both of us will get off there." He explained.
Chizuru looks at him and nodded. Sasuke and the rest of Taka was a well-known missing-nins, they can't freely walk in town without anybody knowing them. She suddenly felt guilty for running away last night.
"From there, we will walk until we reach the mountains. After that we could fly up with my giant hawk to go back to the abandoned houses." he looks outside as they are nearing the border of Horong. "I found some clothes in one of the carriages; we could use them to disguise ourselves." He added.
The carriage stops in front of the Horong Village's arc. Sasuke wearing thick framed glasses was still busy tying the blue sash of his grey robes while Chizuru who is wearing a black kimono with repeated pattern of yellow flower and yellow obi around her waist was almost done tying her hair in a low bun.
"Let me help you," She helped Sasuke with his sash and assists him as he puts on his blue kimono jacket. "There, you're ready." Chizuru looks up to his face, "I thought the disguise would make you look plain and unnoticeable but I guess I'm wrong. You look hot in those glasses."
Sasuke can't suppress a smile and pulls up her kimono collar to hide the kiss marks on her neck. "I knew you would look gorgeous on that kimono, but now I want to strip it off your gorgeous body." He said as he puts a simple black kanzashi on her hair.
Their lusty stares were interrupted when the small window in front of them opens,
"Hey, crazy newlywed couple you can now get off the carriage." Suigetsu said peeping from the small window in front them with an irritated look on his face. "Damn it, this two is driving me nuts." He muttered and closed the small window again.
Sasuke gets off and assist Chizuru to get down the carriage. He looks at Suigetsu and Jugo who were wearing plain robes and bamboo hats before walking away casually and blending with people who are walking inside the small village.
The town has too many tourists who are busy on sightseeing and shopping for souvenirs. They pass by several hot springs resorts and are now only meters away until they reach the village's gate when they see some Kirigakure shinobis stationed there.
"Be casual, stay focus." Sasuke looks at chizuru, talking without making sound. Chizuru read his lip movements and continue walking casually with Sasuke.
Looking straight and avoiding eye contacts with the stationed ninja, the both of them successfully walk past the gate without any problem. Their disguise must been very convincing that none of them recognizes Sasuke, but…
"The two of you, stop!" a voice from the gate shouted which caught their attention and stopped walking.
