Ch.18: New Arrival
(Warning gonna try a lil more graphic scene in this chapter.)
(Sakura's POV)
I was glad that Sasuke accepted and seemed happy about the baby.
But I hadn't told him that I was attacked I wasn't sure that him knowing would do any more than make him worry more than he already was, we both knew that this baby and myself were in danger as long as the Syndicate was out there. And that the safest place was with Sasuke.
That next morning he said he had a new lead on where to go.
He said that Orochimaru might have information on them.
So we set out to find Orochimaru, but that was not an easy task either.
Sasuke wasn't sure which hideout he was at so we would have to search each one until we found him. I was surprised by how many different hideouts he had. And they were scattered all over the place.
It took some time of course, we had made it all the way to a hideout in the middle of the ocean, by that time 6 months had already passed. I hadn't had any more run-ins like before but I didn't let my guard down.
My stomach was visibly large now and though my morning sickness was gone it was replaced by swollen ankles and extreme fatigue but it wasn't something I couldn't handle. I had become used to it by then.
I placed my hand on my belly, the Syndicate wasn't the only thing I was worried about though, I was nervous about seeing Orochimaru.
He was the kind of person who you could never tell what his intentions truly were. He might decide he wants this baby's Uchiha blood for himself as well like he once did in the past with Sasuke.
But I pushed those thoughts from my head.
We walked around the seemingly abandoned hideout.
"He doesn't seem to be here either." Sasuke said as he finished looking through the rooms.
"This makes 12 hideouts that we have searched now." I said as I crossed it off our list.
I was beginning to doubt we would ever find him.
We left the hideout and set out for the next one, it was a good distance away.
We traveled till dusk then stopped to make camp.
Something that has changed is Sasuke rarely lets me do anything he considers being 'strenuous'. So I just sat and watched as he set up the fire and sleeping matt.
He then prepared our meal.
I could tell as time passed and the further along I got Sasuke was just getting more on edge.
I had become nothing but a burden to him, and I became frustrated at myself.
Was there any reason to stay with him on this journey? But if I went back the Syndicate would probably attack the Leaf in an attempt to capture me... I was just a burden to everyone.
Without meaning to I had become distant from Sasuke as of late due to these thoughts I had.
I knew I was being foolish but I couldn't help it, I felt like I didn't deserve to be happy at his side right now with all the problems I was causing.
We sat and quietly ate our dinner afterward I laid down to try and get some rest.
I closed my eyes as I waited to fall asleep, when I felt Sasuke lay down behind me and wrap his arm around my belly.
"Please stop worrying so much, I promise you nothing will happen. Not as long as I am here." He said as he nuzzled his face into my neck.
I struggled as I turned to look at him.
"You could tell?" I asked.
"With the way you are acting, even the blockhead could tell right now." he said as he looked at me.
I sighed.
He was right I need to stop worrying, I needed to just trust Sasuke.
"Are you ok? You're not in any pain?" He asked.
Ever since I told him about the baby he constantly asks about 'our' condition. And while it could get annoying, it was also really sweet.
"I feel tired but other than that everything seems normal." I replied.
"Good." Was all he said.
He kissed my forehead, as he wrapped his arm around me tighter.
His hand drifted to my chin as he raised it to his face.
He brought his lips to mine, they felt like feathers.
Sasuke's kisses were like alcohol to me, too much and I get drunk on them.
I felt myself getting lost in his kiss.
Our hands started to wander each other as we let ourselves give in.
We haven't really done anything since that night, we had been to busy with our journey, plus Sasuke had seemed tense and on edge almost constantly, I was glad to see him relax a little.
He deepened the kiss.
*If tonight led to anything... I think I would. be ok with that.* I thought.
I was completely lost in Sasuke's presence, until Sasuke pushed me away and stood up.
"Sasuke?" I said confused.
He had a serious face.
"Come out!" He said.
I looked to where Sasuke was and a woman emerged, she looked at me.
"A..Are you Sakura?" She asked.
Sasuke stepped in front of me blocking my view.
"Who are you?" He said as he drew his blade.
She dropped to her knees.
"Please help me!" She said as bowed.
"Help you?" I said as I looked around Sasuke.
She was covered in scrapes and bruises, she also seemed to be malnourished.
She didn't seem to be a threat.
"Please, I know he is after you too! So please help me!" She cried.
"Explain yourself now." Sasuke said in a dark tone.
She then explained that she had escaped from the Syndicate and that before she escaped she was a prisoner of the same man who captured me before.
My hand instinctively went to my stomach thinking back on that.
I tried not to dwell on those thoughts.
We sat quietly and listened to her story.
"Take us to where you escaped from, by the looks of you it's not too far from here is it?" Sasuke said as he packed our stuff.
"Go back?! You want to go there? Why on earth would you want to do something as dangerous as that?!" She said looking terrified.
"You. Will. Take. Us." Was all he replied.
I could tell Sasuke seemed anxious.
I put my hand on Sasuke's arm and gave him a concerned look.
He just stayed staring at the woman.
"Why should I?" The girl asked.
"Because I said so, you asked for our help. If you know where they are then I can help otherwise you are on your own." Sasuke said as he glared at her.
"But that's..." She said as she seemed to be deep in thought at his request.
"Fine I'll take you but once we get there I refuse to go in." She said as she stood up.
"I still have a question." I said as I glanced at her.
"You said my name earlier, how did you know it?" I asked.
"Simple, you are his new target, he has most of his men out looking for you. I was his 'pet' so he would tell me things like that. He would go on and on about how I was getting a new playmate. Disgusting pig." She spat.
I felt sickened by her words.
I knew deep down that, that was the case but I didn't want to believe someone like him was after me, especially now that I was pregnant. I refused to let him come anywhere near this baby.
We began following the girl through a hidden forest path.
"So how did you find us?" I asked curious.
"To be honest I wasn't specifically looking for you. I saw the smoke from the fire and hoped there were people that could help me, imagine my surprise to find you there." She said as she continued down the path.
"I see." I replied.
I looked to Sasuke, he had been silent as we left never taking his eyes off her.
*I wonder what he is thinking right now?* I thought as I kept walking deep in thought.
I was so deep in thought I missed stepped tripping over a tree branch.
I quickly braced myself for the impact.
*The baby!* I thought as I tried to shield it.
"Sakura!" Sasuke said as he caught me.
I sighed.
*Thank goodness.* I thought relieved.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"I'm fi..Ah!" I tried to say but a sharp pain was shooting through my stomach.
It wasn't letting up.
"Sakura?!" He asked sounding fearful.
I took a breath.
The pain soon subsided.
"I'm fine, it's just some muscle spasms. They are completely normal during this time." I tried to reassure him.
"You're sure?" He asked.
I just nodded.
We continued on a little further until we came to a ledge.
"It's just down there, I'm not going any further." She said as she pointed to a cave-like opening
Sasuke summoned a snake.
You will stay here then, and don't leave if I have to chase you down you will regret it." He said as he ordered the snake to stay with her.
Sasuke took my hand as we made our way.
"I can already tell there is no one here, but we may find some helpful info here." He said as he glared forward.
His grip on my hand was tight.
I couldn't blame him though.
I started to feel anxious as we walked into the cave.
It led to a large metal door once we opened it it looked like a large open jail. There were cells lining all the walls, and the smell of human waste and filth was heavy in the air, I felt like I was going to gag.
We walked to the center of the room. Sasuke knelt down and seemed to be messing with the stone flooring.
After a few seconds, he lifted one up to reveal a hidden staircase.
He used his chakra as a light source as we walked down them.
It led to a small room, but what I saw when I entered the room made me sick.
There were pictures of me all over, some had markings on them, things like hearts and chains.
WIth horrible things written on them.
I couldn't hold back this feeling as I turned and threw up.
"Sakura?" He said as he helped me back to my feet.
"Sorry, I'm ok I promise." I said as I wiped my mouth.
We left and met back up with the woman from before.
"They are gone." Sasuke said as he glared at her.
" Must have run once they realized I had escaped." She said as she furrowed her brows.
" Is there anywhere they would go that you know of?" I asked.
"Possibly, but." She stopped.
"But what?" Sasuke asked annoyed.
"It's pretty far. A few days walk from here is a port town, they might have gotten a boat there and headed to the next hideout." She said.
"Which is were?" Sasuke asked.
"On an island far in the sea. I can take you but." She turned and looked at me.
"You won't be able to go." She said as she glanced at my stomach.
"It's too dangerous for you, It takes nearly 2 weeks to get there by boat which means nearly a month on the sea. There is no way you could go." She said.
Sasuke looked at me with a worried look in his eye.
I just smiled at him.
"That's fine I can stay at an inn in the town and wait for you, you can go finish this for both of us and be back in time before I need you." I said trying to ease his mind. He nodded.
(Sasuke's POV)
I didn't trust this girl. But I had no choice, she was the only decent lead I had found in months. The search for Orochimaru was leading nowhere.
* I will just have to go and come back as soon as possible.* I thought as we made our way to the port town.
Once we arrived I noticed it was smaller than the one we had stayed at before.
We got a room for me and Sakura, and another one for the girl.
I hated the idea of leaving Sakura for that long. If my math was right she was due pretty soon. I don't want to leave her alone for that. I wanted to be by her side and help her as much as I could.
But I couldn't leave the Syndicate alone especially after seeing that room.
The bastard at his eyes set on Sakura and I would be damned if he got anywhere near her.
I finally stopped thinking about it.
I decided to deal with these thoughts tomorrow when I left. If I continued to worry about them I would just make Sakura worry. She didn't need any more stress in her condition.
I turned to see Sakura watching me.
That gaze she gave me drove me crazy, it reminded me of the night I gave her my Clan's mark.
The image of her beneath me, the way she smelled, and the way she felt were ingrained on my mind.
* But with the way she is right now, I can't do anything. I would only end up hurting her.* I thought as I looked to her stomach.
Ever since she started to show more, she had this glow about her. I would see her sit and just stare at her stomach while having a pleased look on her face.
In those moments she seemed happy.
I wanted her to always look like that. And I was going to do everything I could to make that happen.
I couldn't fight the urge as I walked up to her and hugged her from behind.
"Sasuke?" She said surprised.
I just stayed silent as I breathed in her scent.
"Um... Sasuke." She said as she turned and faced me.
"It's going to be a little while before I see you again...So... I was wondering." She said as she started to blush.
"What is it?" I said as I watched her face grow even hotter.
"Um...Well...could we maybe... spend the night together..?" She said as she looked me in the eyes.
It took me a second to realize what she meant by this.
"But what about?" I said as I looked back to her stomach.
"It should be fine... Actually it is a good relaxer that's recommended by doctors." She said just above a whisper.
"Are you sure?" I asked still hesitant.
"I'm sure." She said as she laid her head on my chest.
"I have one condition." I said as I put my hand on her chin bringing her face to mine.
"Wh..what is it?" She asked.
"If it starts to hurt you at any point we stop end of story." I said as I scanned her face for a sign of hesitance.
She just met my gaze with a look of determination.
"Ok." She said with such a serious face.
It was too much for me.
I leaned in as I brought my lips to hers. They were so soft and sweet.
I let my hand run to the zipper on the back of her shirt as I slowly undid it.
She did the same to my shirt slowly taking it off.
I carefully laid her down onto the futon.
The face she made as she looked up to me driving me even more mad.
I let my hand make it's way to her breast. I noticed they seemed to have grown larger though I liked them either way.
I let my mouth go to her other breast, it was the same as her lips.
It was soft and sweet the smell of her skin was intoxicating.
I let my tongue swirl around her now erect nipple, my teeth grazing it occasionally.
I got lost in what I was doing until.
"Um, Sasuke." I heard her say.
I stopped and looked at her.
"Does it hurt?" I said as I sat back.
"No, it's not that. But um well I think this would work better." She said as she sat up and then proceeded to get on her hands and knees.
I was surprised by this, I then chuckled to myself.
I could tell she was embarrassed, but she had no reason to be she looked so beautiful.
I decided my next course of action was to relieve her of her remaining garments as I slowly removed them.
Which caused her to yelp. I wanted to hear her make more sounds like that.
I decided to tease her a little as I brought my face inches from her I could see she was already wet.
I smirked as I took a breath then I blew on her causing her to yelp even louder.
I could sense the face she was making, making me mentally laugh.
I then took in the sight before me, she was beautiful here as well.
Her white skin glistened with the moonlight.
*I want to taste her.* I thought as I slowly brought my tongue to her wetness.
I felt her body stiffen as I did.
It was warm, she had an almost bitter taste but not in a bad way, I liked it.
I let my tongue travel over every area it could reach.
She started to tremble.
I picked up my speed as I swirled my tongue inside and outside her.
I brought my finger to her as a searched for that little bud of nerves she had, once I found it
I let my finger replace were my tongue had been as I brought my face to that little bundle of nerves. It looked like a rosebud it was bright pink I took into my mouth and sucked on it while I let my finger go deeper in than my tongue could.
"Ah...Sa..su..ke." She moaned.
I smirked as I kept up what I was doing.
All the while I could feel pants becoming uncomfortable
I couldn't stand it any longer.
I stopped as I quickly freed myself from the rest of my clothes as well.
I carefully positioned myself at her entrance, the feeling alone making me want to bury myself inside her. But I had to control myself otherwise I could hurt her.
I slowly entered her, it had been so long since the last time, her insides were tight around me as the twitched only increasing the sensation.
Once I was all the way inside I couldn't hold back my gasp at the sensation.
She was really trembling now.
"Are you ok?" I asked scared I may have pushed her too far.
"Yes." She said as she started to move her hips on her own.
I tried to start out slow, but it was getting harder to control myself.
She then started to meet my thrusts with her own.
She was panting now with the occasional moan slipping out.
I decided to speed up my thrusts, her insides squeezed my tighter.
I was starting to lose myself.
I was getting close, my breathing becoming more erratic.
I couldn't keep control of my thrusts anymore, I wanted to go deeper.
I was about to cum I leaned over and bit her shoulder as I cam.
"Sasuke!" She moaned my name.
I felt her twitching around me.
*Did she as well?* I wondered.
My body was numb, as I pulled out.
I then laid next to her and held her in my arms.
"Sakura are you ok?" I asked wondering if I was too rough.
She just looked at me and smiled.
I pulled her in closer as I let sleep overtake me.
Once morning came I gathered our clothes that had been scattered.
We quickly got dressed.
It was time for me to set out.
"Sakura, I will be back soon." I said as I prepared to leave.
She nodded the quickly captured my lips with her own.
She looked at me.
"Please come back ok. If you come back hurt I won't forgive you." She said as she hugged me.
"I promise." I said as I laid my hand on her head.
We then boarded the boat I watched as Sakura waved me off from the docks. I never stopped looking as she grew further out of view.
Once she was out of sight I turned and looked in the direction of the island.
(Author's note:)
So I tried a little more graphic scene, I also tried it from Sasuke's POV. Since I think it would be more graphic from his while it's sweeter from Sakura's.
