Chapter 18:
The princess Uchiwa and prince Uzumaki have a drink inside a local tavern.
-« It's been two days and no signs of him, we should move and try something else. »
-« It's an opportunity, Sara. He can have information for us. He's really a nice guy. »
-« Maybe, but we know nothing about where he can be. It's a shot in the dark. » she takes a sip. « Anyway... »
-« Don't tell me you're still angry about what happened, you know I didn't plan that. »
-« Can we not talk about that? And yes, it was your fault. We weren't ready, we rushed it, and I almost get killed for that. »
-« We can't plan everything. Every other mission will be risky. Just deal with it. That's what we signed for, Sara. »
-« Don't treat me like I can't handle the heat. What I'm saying is that we need a plan A, B and C. I didn't know where you were, I had no weapon on me...
-« You're right, but stop making me the only one to blame. You didn't say anything before the mission... And, we're trained, and we did escape »
-« You really think it went well. Wake up! They will be looking for me now. »
-« You two make a nice couple. »
-« We have not a couple. » Says both of them to the one talking to them.
Then, they realize the intruder.
-« It's been a long time, Prince Uzumaki. »
-« Hey Mitsuki, please be discreet. » Boruto hugs then look at him. « How did you know it was me? »
-« Inojin told me you could pay me a visit... and, for me, you are very recognizable, your voice, your face, your hair... like a sun. »
-« That guy is weird. » thought the princess, badly hiding her discomfort.
-« I guess you know me very well. Hey Mitsuki, we need your help, is there a place we can go? »
-« Yeah of course. It's a good moment for you to meet my parent. »
-« Your parents? » asks Sarada.
-« I only have one. »
-« Weirder and weirder. » she thoughts.
The trio gets to the forest, where they take the time to introduce themself properly and start catches up. About 30 minutes later, they find the hideout. They enter.
-« I'm here! »
An old man, very androgenous come meet them.
-« Mitsuki, who did you bring? »
-« Orochimaru, it's my friend, Prince Uzumaki. »
-« Really, Mitsuki talked about you a lot. You really did a big impression on my son. »
-« It's a pleasure to finally meet Mitsuki's parent. Mitsuki is really the kindest man I know. »
-« I think you are, my prince. » Says Mitsuki looking intensely at his sun, under the confusion of Sarada.
-« And who is that woman with you? »
-« It's my partner. Well, we are traveling together. Princess Sarada Uchiwa. »
-« Princess Uchiwa... » Orochimaru takes her hand and kisses it.
-« Oh my goodness, not another old creep.» Though Sarada. « Nice to meet you, Orochimaru. Thank you for welcoming us. » She says.
He didn't really let go of her hand, so she pulls it off. And continues:
-« It's a nice place. Are you hiding from the Kara? »
-« More or less... »
-« My parent does some experimentations. »
-« Oh I see. »
-« Do you want to see the lab, my prince? » Asks Mitsuki.
-« Why not? »
They visit the lab, where they explain that they were once forced to work with Adamo, the Kara member, to help with some research. It seems Amado is currently working on a bacteriological weapon.
-« That's terrible. If he succeeded there will be nothing we can do to stop them. We will have to work on a cure, and even so, we would be screwed. »
-« True. You seem to know a bit about science. » Asks Orochimaru to Sarada.
-« Really just a bit. »
-« Who taught you that? »
-«... My mom. » a bit uncomfortable with his questions. « Do you know where we can find Amado? We really have to stop him. »
-« I surely know where his lab is. But, trust me he is not that close to achieving it for what I know. But, you never know with research... »
-« Can you mark it on my map? We will surely pay him a visit. »
...
Later, Orochimaru shows Sarada and Boruto their rooms. When they were bringing their luggage to their rooms, Sarada comes to Boruto:
-« Hey, I really don't like that here. »
-« Come on. It's super late, Princess. We're not leaving tonight. And, it's been a long time since I've seen Mitsuki. »
-« I understand, but maybe... do you think we can sleep in the same room. »
-« Uchiwa, what is that? Look, we can use a little moment apart, don't you think. Maybe you could take that time you figure what you want. »
-« Prince Uzumaki, I'm just not comfortable. Did you see how that old man is looking at me? »
-« Ignore him, it's probably just been a long time since he sees a young woman. Ok, I'm hungry, let go.»
-« Yeah ok. »
The group eats and drinks for the rest of the evening. Mitsuki and Boruto were deep in their conservation, they didn't notice how Orochimaru was looking at Sarada. She tries to ignore it, but at one point it was too much for her, she stands up:
-« I'm going to sleep. »
-« You're sure? »
-« Yeah, yeah continue your conversation we will meet again tomorrow. »
-« Ok, good night princess Uchiwa. »
Sarada's really satisfied to leave this table, she prepares herself to sleep and grabs a book in the shelf of the room to help her sleep faster. All that hideout and that lab are creepy. Mitsuki is so weird with the prince, he really seems to admire him. And his ''parent'', Orochimaru, what is his problem? She really can't wait to be out of here.
Later, Mitsuki gets a game he and the prince played when they were young. At the moment, Orochimaru stands up gets them a bottle of wine.
-« I'm gonna leave you. I don't even know how to play. Take your time, enjoy the night. It's not often we have a special guest here. »
Boruto and Mitsuki serve themselves and start playing.
-« My god, I still can't win. » Says Boruto at one point.
-« Do you want me to let you win? » says Mitsuki, not joking.
-« Don't ever do that please, Mitsuki. »
The door of the hideout opens.
-« You were waiting for someone else tonight? » asks Boruto.
-« Yeah, they work with my father. »
A group arrives, a red-haired woman comes to Mitsuki:
-« Oh Mitsuki, you're not alone. Who is that? »
-« Is the prince Uzumaki, my friend? »
-« For real? Nice to meet you, never thought you were real. » She laughs.
-« Let's go of him, Karin. » Says Suigetsu.
-« You're only the 2 of you here? I think a saw another horse.»
-« The princess is here too. »
-« The princess? What princess? asks Suigetsu.
-« Princess Uchiwa, she's trav...»
-« You're kidding me right. Sarada Uchiwa is here. Where is she? Quick » Says Karin panic.
-« What is it? »
-« She is in danger, find her! »
...
Orochimaru sits on the bed where the Uchiwa was sleeping, he looks at her. She really looks like her father, very much. He starts touching her face, she's about to wake up, so, he grabs her neck with both of his hands. Then, He squeezes it with all his force. Sarada could not breathe or make a sound. He wasn't really strong, but he clearly has the advantage on her. Even, if she tries to pull his hands off, she still couldn't breathe normally.
-« I knew, I knew, I had my revenge Sasuke. You freaking traitor. »
She tries to pull off his hands, try to kick him. The hate in his eyes, she's really gonna die here. Then, she tries to hit his face, kicking the wall to make some sound.
Then, someone tries to open to door, but it was locked.
-« Orochimaru, let her go! »
Boruto gives himself momentum and smashes the door with his shoulder. The door finally opens, and Karin, Suigetsu and Jugo take Orochimaru away. While Boruto gets back of his feet and gets to Sarada to sit her on the bed, to help her catch her breath. He has one hand on her back while the other holds her hand. Karin gets to the princess when Orochimaru was gone.
-« You're ok? »
Sarada nobs, but still couldn't talk.
-« You're taking her away and quick. You understand me. »
Boruto nobs to her.
-« I'm gonna get your stuff, my prince. » Says Mitsuki a bit in shock.
-« Yeah thank you, can you just give us a moment? » says Boruto then everybody leaves. « Sara, we have to get out of here. You need to change. »
He gets clothes in her bag and helps her. They quickly find their way out, when Mitsuki gives Boruto's his bag. They follow them outside, where Karin waits for them with the horses.
-« I'm really sorry, I don't know what happened. » Says Mitsuki.
-« It's a long story, let's just say that Orochimaru hates Sasuke. »
-« How Suigetsu here now? » asks Sarada.
-« Guess he changed his allegiance, twice... Anyway, take care of you, princess Uchiwa. Wish I met you again in a different context. » Says Karin touching her shoulder.
...
Sarada was wandering trying to follows Boruto, but she couldn't get out of her mind. She couldn't even tell if they were walking for minutes or hours. Suddenly, the prince takes her in his arms, waking her up:
-« Bor... I'm ok. Sorry, I'm just in my head... I'm ok. »
She hears his sob as he tightens his grip.
-« Bor? »
He starts caressing her hair, putting her head on his shoulder.
-« I'm sorry Sara... I don't want to lose you. Please. » his voice was cracking by the emotion.
Hearing Boruto like that makes Sarada gives up. She just hangs herself on him, and tears just drop. She has been so scared to die. She hides her face on him, couldn't stop her cry.
The Uzumaki's heart breaks hearing her. He never ever sees her like that before. He holds her against him tightly.
-« I'm so sorry, don't leave me... »
She just could not respond to him. She could not even speak, she just hangs on him.
...
They stop for the night when the rain started. Anyway, with their current state and the night, they were just getting lost more and more in the forest. In a small tent, they both had trouble sleeping. Boruto feels Sarada cuddling on him and turns to her.
-« You're ok? Are you cold? »
-« ... No, I'm ok. »
The night was really dark they could barely see each other even if they were close. The prince feels her hand on his face, before feeling her lips on his. He wraps his arms around her as they kiss.
-« Sara, it's not a good idea. » He says reach to grab her hand.
-« I want to do it. » Sarada gets almost on him.
She passes her finger on his face to find his lips, then she grabs his face to kiss him passionately. Boruto feels his body heating up, all of her pressing against him. How long he waits for that to happens? He could not resist and responds. The blond Uzumaki sits her on him and circles her with his arms. Sarada breaks the kiss, her hands travel from his neck to his chest and start unbuttoning the prince's shirt.
-« Uchiwa. I don't want you to regret it, we had one hell of a night. » he stops her hands.
-« There's nothing wrong adding a little extra to our relationship? It's not like anybody has to know. »
Boruto lets her hands go, and travel to her hips and presses her against his crotch, so she could feel him. Sarada feels a rush of excitement and continues undressing him, passing her hands on his muscular torso, getting her even more in the mood. She wanted to do that for such a long time. The scars all over him make her crazy. The princess grabs the back of his head and passionately kisses him.
Then, he puts her against the mattress and takes her pants off. Sarada could barely see anything, she feels his fingers at her entrance. She closes her eyes enjoying being touch like that.
Boruto's surprised how much wet she is already. He ain't gonna complain about that. He was split between the desire to satisfied himself after all this wait, and the desire to take his time to enjoy every second of it.
Between her moans, he gasps when she touches his erection. Her hand wraps him, over his pant and starts caressing her. Then, she gets her hand inside his pants. He really wanted more.
He rids of his pants and her panties. And, starts teasing her vulva with his hard member. She caresses his thighs.
-« It's already good. »
He massages her a little more, before entering her, making her let out a cry. With a smirk on his face, he starts moving inside of her, feeling her all over him, feeling how wet, how warm and how tight she is. Her cries were the only thing he could hear. He just wanted more of it, feeling how much impact he has on her.
He grabs her legs and brings them on each side of her to get deeper and deeper into her. It makes her cry louder, and her hands find him, and hold into him.
...
In the morning, Sarada wakes up and feels Boruto moving behind her. She turns to him:
-« What's that face? » she says with a smile.
-« What about it ?»
She snuggles on him and kissing him to reassuring him.
-« Were you worry? »
-« A bit. »
The prince puts a hand on her waist.
-« Well then, good morning Princess Uchiwa. It there something I can do for you this morning? »
He puts his hand on her back and brings her against him. Then, he kisses her.
-« You're pushing your luck. Prince Uzumaki. » She laughs.
-« Well then. »
He kisses her hand, then asks her to turn over to spoons her.
-« Let's just enjoy the morning then. » he says before closing his eyes, hearing morning bird outside.
She reaches to roll her finger around his.
