"Moka-chan?"

Moka looked up from her book. One of the clones / guards was standing there. She was glad that they kept their faces covered. She missed Naruto badly enough as it was. Sometimes she would talk to the clones for a little while and then ask them to dispel so that her Naruto would get the memory of the conversation. She never tried to have one of them keep her company, she wanted the original and a bloodless clone would never do.

"Yes?"

The clone sighed in the exact way Naruto would (naturally.) "Ino's at the gate and she screaming that she wants to talk to you."

"Why am I not surprised?" She put the book down and stood up. "I may as well get this over with, send her in."

A couple minutes later the front door opened and in stormed a furious Ino dressed in her usual purple clothing. She wasted absolutely no time in sharing what was on her mind.

"Just what the hell did you do to Sasuke you bitch?!" She came right up to Moka's face and looked ready to bite. "He sent me a message this morning; he's calling off our engagement! What the hell did you do?!"

Moka stood her ground and looked calmly down at the angry kunoichi. "He came to my door disguised as my husband with the intent on taking me to bed. For such an offense I punished him, as was my right."

"Punished him? Punished him how?! The whole village is filled with rumors! They say he was brought to the hospital naked and bleeding last night!"

"He was indeed." Moka replied easily. "After what he tried to do I ordered my guards to deliver him to the hospital just that way. He was so eager to take his clothes off I didn't think he would mind."

Ino screamed and swung her fist in mindless rage. Moka blocked her clumsy punch and delivered a fist right in her belly. Ino gasped in pain and collapsed to the floor.

Moka stood over the hurting girl and frowned down at her. "You know I used to think you ninja were rather formidable. But given recent experience I am starting to think that Naruto might just be an exception."

Looking up from her spot on the floor Ino still somehow managed to glare even as she clutched her stomach. "Don't you compare me or Sasuke-kun or the other ninjas of this village to that monster."

Moka smirked. "You're right, the rest of you really don't compare to him."

Despite the pain Ino got back up to her feet. "You know I think I understand now why he married you. You're as much of a monster in your own way as he is."

"You have no idea."

"How dare you attack Sasuke like that! You…" Ino never saw the slap; she only felt it smack into the side of her face as it knocked her right back down again.

"Does your infatuation really make you so blind?" Moka did not bother to try and hide the contempt in her voice. "Sasuke came here disguised as Naruto to fuck me. By all rights I should have killed him for that. Your precious little idol cared so much about you he tried to take advantage of another man's wife. Rather than blame me why don't you blame him? Had he not come here I would never have touched him."

"I don't believe you! Sasuke would never do something like that!"

"Would you believe Hinata?" Moka asked. "She went to the hospital with him last night. She can confirm that he was here naked last night."

"If he was here you must have tricked him! He would never do anything like that!"

"Because he is so in love with you? Is that what you really think?" Moka couldn't but laugh. "Open your eyes you stupid girl, it's obvious he didn't love you. I barely know him and it was obvious even to me. Clearly all he wanted was a brood mare. You should be thanking me for sparing you a lifetime with a man who wants nothing from you but babies."

I need three wives who can give me powerful children. Sasuke had said those exact words to her the night he'd proposed. Ino ground her teeth and pushed the memory away. He did love her! He did! She was sure of it! All he needed was a little more time to finally admit his feelings to her! "Sasuke does love me! It's your fault that he ended our engagement!"

"That's probably true," Moka admitted. "I'm sure as soon as he realized he wouldn't be able to have children ending things with you was the first thing he did."

"Wait a second! What do you mean he won't be able to have children?"

"I thought you knew," Moka proceeded to explain exactly what she had done the previous night. As she did so the blood seemed to drain out of Ino's face.

"You… you insane bitch! Do you know what you've done? He was the last of the Uchiha clan! You've doomed his clan to extinction!"

Moka was not sympathetic. "If he was at all typical then I think I have done the world a great service."

Ino leapt to her feet and came straight for her screaming.

Moka waited a second and then delivered a well placed kick to the side of her face. "If you're going to keep attacking me you're just going to keep losing. Know your place." Her kick sent Ino flying into a small table that broke apart on impact.

And I only just finished replacing all the furniture from Kokoa's arrival. Moka saw that her blow had knocked the loud blonde unconscious. Just as well, it's obvious that whatever the facts might be poor little Sasuke-kun can do no wrong.

She had one of the guards return her home while she got back to her book.

XXXXXXXXXX

The Hokage and his sensei were both in his hospital room. The drugs that helped with the pain also deadened his senses. Even so he was on the verge of losing all self control.

"What the hell do you mean she won't be punished?" Sasuke demanded.

"I am very sorry Sasuke," the Hokage told him. "But the fact remains that she has not committed any crime."

"Not committed a crime? Didn't Hinata tell you what she did to me?"

"She did," Hiashi said unhappily. "She also told me where she found you and in what state of dress. Moka claims you were disguised as Naruto and intended to try and seduce her. Is that true?"

"Even if it is it doesn't excuse what she did to me."

"How could you have been so stupid?" Jiraiya growled.

Sasuke sent him an unbelieving glare. "You're saying that? You? You're the biggest pervert and hound this village has ever seen! How many girls have you slept with?"

Jiraiya grinned slightly. "More than I can count, but none of them were ever married." He paused. "At least not that I knew. There's no surer way to make a man an enemy. What the hell were you thinking? With all the women in this village who throw their panties at you, you went after Naruto's wife!"

"I thought she was beautiful and strong," he shrugged his shoulder wearily. "I wanted her."

"That is a poor excuse for trying to take advantage of a clan head's wife." Hiashi said pointedly.

Sasuke frowned at him; he was not used to the Hokage not supporting him. "Maybe so, but she has still killed the Uchiha clan. She has to be punished for it."

"And will you be the one to explain to Naruto exactly why his wife is being punished for defending herself?" Hiashi asked sardonically.

"Are you scared of him?" Sasuke said condescendingly.

"Only a fool would not at least be wary of him," Hiashi said. "He must be handled with great care."

"So you're going to just let this go unpunished?"

Jiraiya snorted. "You're not the wronged party here Sasuke, even if you did get the worst of it. Whether you want to see it or not the only one who committed a crime was you. Moka was well within her rights to defend herself with whatever force she deemed necessary."

"Fortunately she has declined to press any charges against you. She is ready to let the matter drop. Let us hope Naruto is as reasonable."

XXXXXXXXXX

Passing by Hinata's room she heard giggling.

"Stoooop," Hinata's voice was on the verge of laughter.

"Awwww, does my little Hinata-chan not like being tickled?" Naruto's voice came through clear as day.

In the next instant Hinata's laughter could be heard loud and clear.

Moka quickly continued down the hall so she would not have to listen to any more. I am not jealous. I said it was all right and I am glad that Hinata is happy. The fact that Naruto always assigned a clone to keep Hinata company meant that whether the real Naruto was home or not had no real effect on her. Oh she worried about him, and hoped he would be safe but otherwise everything remained exactly the same. Moka had never imagined there might be an advantage to being with a clone rather than the original.

For Moka the clones were only a reminder of what she did not have. If Hinata looked at them with her byakugan she saw a human with an active chakra system. She could not tell the clones from the real thing. But Moka could. It was the fact there was no real blood coursing through them. For Moka the clones smelled almost exactly like Naruto, almost. But that tiny difference was enough to ruin the illusion for her. So while Hinata could be with a clone and forget that he was not the, 'real' Naruto Moka never could.

Sighing she headed to the study to read. With Naruto away she seemed to be spending a lot of time reading. She didn't care much for going out if she didn't have him beside her.

"Moka-chan!"

She saw one of the guards running up to her. "What is it?"

Rather than answer he grabbed a hold of her and gave her an eager kiss. She was surprised, but not angry; usually the guards have never done this before. Still he felt and tasted exactly like the original. She enjoyed the kiss but did not respond to it.

When the kiss ended the guard looked at her with obvious disappointment. "What's wrong Moka-chan? I thought you'd be a little happier to see me. Don't tell me it's because of what that teme Sasuke did."

She was about to answer when she noticed his scent. Her face split with a happy smile. "Naruto-kun! It's the real you!"

He laughed and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, I just got back and I didn't want to waste time before seeing you. I need to go report…"

He was cut off as she grabbed a hold of him and shoved him roughly against the wall. This time she was kissing him and she forced her tongue into his mouth. He responded and they eagerly searched each other's mouths as their hands searched each other's bodies. When she was finally forced to come up for air Naruto was looking beyond pleased. "So I guess you missed me after all."

"I have missed you every day, every hour, every minute." She pressed her face to his neck and her tongue his skin, she could taste the salt from his sweat. "I want your blood,' she cried hungrily. She had denied herself waiting for his return.

She felt his hand press the back of her head. "Then take my blood." He told her.

That was all she needed to hear. She eagerly bit down and her mouth filled with that familiar and longed for taste. It was sweeter than any candy could hope to be, it was fire and energy and life and best of all it was him. She shut her eyes and focused all her senses on his scent and taste. Oh how I've missed this! Naruto-kun my love how I've missed you!

When she let go she stepped back to just look at him. Her face was flushed and she was still in that momentary afterglow she always felt after drinking his blood. She reached out and began tugging at his clothes. "Take me," she commanded. "Take me right here and now, I don't want to wait."

With that his hands began to pulls off her dress. She knew just how much he enjoyed taking her clothes off but was grateful that he seemed to be as impatient as she was. In very short order their clothes were off and she was lying on the carpet with Naruto on top of her.

"Hey what is…" Kokoa rounded the corner of the hall way. She froze in horror at the most terrible sight she had ever seen or imagined. "Hey! What the hell are you doing? Stop that! What are you… don't do that! Get off her don't…. neesan what are you doing?!"

"Ooooooh," Moka let out a moan.

"Aaaaaaaah!!" Kokoa turned around and fled.

Naruto lifted his head from between her thighs. "I think we've scarred her for life."

"She'll understand when she's older." She pushed his face back down.

It was a very good welcome home.
