Last Time:

"I like your suit," Hinata said as she looked up at him.

Naruto smiled, "Thank you."

Hinata blushed as she continued to look up at him. Naruto simply looked back at her before realizing what she wanted. He complied and leaned down. He gently pressed his lips against hers and heard Hinata giggle a bit.

Down where Hinata had just been, the other skaters whistled and cheered Hinata on. Naruto couldn't help but laugh while Hinata hid her face from embarrassment.

Opposites Attract: Chapter 31 – "Precautionary Measures"

"Why are we here?" Sasuke questioned as he followed Sakura into a convenience store. They were on their way to the Youth District but Sakura had insisted they stop here as soon as she saw it. "If you want to get soda and stuff, there's a cheaper place in the Youth District for that."

Sakura shook her head as she scanned the aisle markers. Her eyes landed on the area she was looking for and she moved quickly. Sasuke followed her and got distracted by the collection of condoms on the shelf. He picked up three boxes of the brand he uses before looking up and seeing Sakura at the other end of the aisle.

"Sakura?" Sasuke walked over to her and froze when he saw her staring at the pregnancy test and Plan B pills. "Sakura…are you?"

"I don't know," she answered as she snatched up the most accurate pregnancy test on the shelf. "And just in case I'm not," she picked up a box of Plan B pills, "we'll get these and I'll stash a pill in places where we usually do it."

"You're going to need a lot more pills than what's in that box, aren't you?" Sasuke questioned and dodged Sakura's semi-lethal elbow. He stuck his tongue out at her but winched when she hit him over the head with the pregnancy test. "Come on," he took the pregnancy test from her, "we'll head to your place so you can take this."

"Why not your place? It's closer," Sakura argued as she followed Sasuke to the register.

"Because my parents are home and my mother can sense a nervous person a mile away," Sasuke warned. "The minute she notices either of us acting weird, she's going to start asking questions and she's also a human lie detector. All in all, we're better off going to your place."

"You're right," the reached the counter and saw the way the clerked eyed the three boxes of condoms and the pregnancy test.

The clerk looked at them, "Don't you think these condoms are going to be a bit useless if she's knocked up?"

"Just ring them up," Sasuke asked as he pulled out his wallet. Once he had paid and taken the bag, he and Sakura quickly left.

Sasuke didn't say a word as they climbed into his car and left the parking lot. And Sakura knew better than to say anything. She saw the way Sasuke clenched the steering wheel and how tightly he was clenching his jaw. Not only that, he was weaving in and out of traffic and gunning it through yellow lights and coming as close as he possibly could with breaking traffic laws.

Once they made it back to Whirlwind's Complex and to the main house, they went straight to her room on the second floor. Sasuke fumbled through the bag but when Sakura put a hand on his back, he stopped.

He let out a heavy sigh, "Sorry."

Sakura shook her head and fished out the pregnancy test. She gave him a gentle peck on his cheek before going into her bathroom. Sasuke sighed again before falling back onto Sakura's bed and staring up at the ceiling. He laid there contemplating the idea of being a father at the age of seventeen and the thought alone frightened him.

While lost in his thoughts, he heard his phone ring. He removed his phone from the back pocket of his jeans and answered, "Hey Aniki."

"Sasuke?" Itachi immediately sounded concerned. "What's going on? You sound funny."

"I'm fine," Sasuke reassured. "What's up? How's work?"

"Eh, it's work," Itachi answered. Sasuke could hear the rapid tapping of keys in the background followed by Itachi's loud yawn, "I'm trying not to fall asleep right now since I have to finish filling out this report before I can go to lunch. I'd call Izumi-chan but Inari-chan's nap time is right now."

"Eh, so you're just using me?" Sasuke whined. "What kind of big brother are you? Honestly, you're the worse."

"Bite me," Itachi countered and Sasuke laughed. "By the way, Inari-chan wants to go to Hinata's competition this weekend and Izumi-chan and I are both too busy to take her. Do you think you can take her with you?"

"Sure," Sasuke agreed. "Is that why you called?"

"Pretty much," Itachi admitted. "Okay, bye."

"Huh? Aniki?" Sasuke heard Itachi hang up and he rolled his eyes. He sent a quick text to Itachi calling him a series of insults before tossing his phone onto Sakura's pillow. He tilted his head back when he heard the bathroom door open and he saw Sakura come out holding the pregnancy test. "Well?"

"Nothing yet," Sakura answered as she carefully set it down on a few pieces of tissue. "We have to wait five minutes," she sighed as she sat on the edge of her bed and fell back. She stared up at her ceiling with Sasuke, the two of them lying there in silence. "Say, Sasuke-kun?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think we'll make okay parents?" she asked.

He didn't answer. Sakura sighed but looked towards Sasuke when she heard him sift. She watched as he laid on his side and propped himself up on his elbow. She turned onto her side as well and curled up a bit as she eyed him.

"I would hope we'd make okay parents," Sasuke answered. "I can't say we'd be great considering we're both still in high school and until now, the thing that stressed us out most of all was whether or not we had studied enough for a test. Well, I don't know if that's true. Naruto has stressed us out more than enough."

"Now that I think about it, if we can take care of Naruto then I'm sure we can handle a baby," Sakura joked, she and Sasuke laughing together. She smiled at him and enjoyed the sight of his relaxed and joyful expression. Instinctively, she reached her hand out and touched his cheek.

"What is it?" Sasuke asked as Sakura gently rubbed his cheek before brushing her thumb across his bottom lip.

"The lady who does your hair," Sakura began, "she touches you a lot."

"Ah," Sasuke sat up and crossed his legs, "has it been bothering you since we left?"

"Not really," Sakura lied. "And her chest is pretty big too."

"Is it?" Sasuke tilted his head to the side. "I hadn't noticed."

Sakura eyed him, "Liar. You probably notice them all the time. I bet you'd prefer if mine were bigger too."

"Of course not," Sasuke countered immediately. He reached his hand out and immediately clasped Sakura's breast in his hand over the sweater she was wearing. He watched as she flared up and scooted away from him. "I prefer yours because they fit in my hand."

"That doesn't make me feel any better," Sakura whined as she held her knees to her chest.

"Where did you get the idea that I like large breasts anyway?" Sasuke asked and saw Sakura look away with a pout on her lips. He sighed and moved so that he was sitting beside her. He saw her turn her face away from him and he rolled his eyes. "Sakura, look at me."

"No," Sakura muttered. "I'm mad at you."

"Mad at me?" Sasuke repeated. He groaned and rubbed his head before leaning back against Sakura's headboard, "Sakura-chan, you know that I love you, right?"

Sakura glanced at him.

"And there is absolutely nothing about you that I would change about you. You know that, right? I mean, to me you are already the most beautiful girl in the world and I can't see myself being with anybody else," Sasuke said. "I love that you're always honest with me and that you don't try and put up this front with me to get my attention or because you think I'd like it. And I love that you have absolutely no filter when you talk. And I love that you're never the 'damsel in distress' but more like the 'knight in shiny armor' when you're in some kind of bind."

"It's every girl's dream to hear that she's the 'knight' instead of the 'damsel,'" Sakura whined.

Sasuke eyed her a moment before taking ahold of her chin and making her face him. He pressed his lips against her and grabbed Sakura's wrist before she could hit him. Sakura wanted to pull away but she couldn't find the will to pull away from him. And when she felt his tongue brush against her lip, she stopped trying to fight.

Sasuke pulled away as soon as Sakura submitted. He looked pass her and at the nightstand where the pregnancy test was sitting, "It's been more than enough time, hasn't it?"

It took a moment for Sakura to realize what he was talking about before she nodded. She stretched out and grabbed ahold of the test. She checked the little window and let out an exasperated sight of relief before flashing it to Sasuke, "It's negative."

"Good." Sasuke took the test and tossed it back onto the nightstand before pulling Sakura back up to him.

Before Sakura could say anything, Sakura's lips were on hers again. He was more aggressive this time and Sakura moaned when his hand slid underneath her sweater. She squirmed as Sasuke's hand grabbed ahold of her right breast and begin fondling it. She moaned a bit louder when his fingers pinched her nipple and tugged at it.

She gasped for air as Sasuke pulled way and bit her lip when his mouth went to her neck. She gripped onto his shirt as he kissed her neck and flicked his tongue against it. He moved so that he was on top of her and with ease, he slid his arm around her and lifted her up enough to pull her further down the bed so that she was lying on her back now.

Sasuke pushed her sweater up and planted several sweet kisses against both her breast. He felt Sakura's fingers glide through his hair and how she seemed to pet him almost. He enjoyed it and continued moving further down Sakura's body. He felt the way she shivered when he licked her stomach and kiss her belly button.

Using both his hands, he pulled off Sakura's panties and skirt but left her in her thigh high socks. He kissed her inner thighs but lightly nipping them. He glanced up at Sakura as she whined before looking back to see the red mark that had formed.

"Don't bite me," Sakura warned.

"I like marking you in places that no one else can look," Sasuke told her before kissing the red mark. "It's like our little secret that no one else is allowed to know about."

Sakura blushed and covered her mouth when Sasuke's tongue brushed against the place between her thighs. He didn't waste time diving in, her tongue swirling around her clit before covering every inch of the exterior. She gasped and covered her eyes with her arms. She bit her lip as he wrapped on arm around her thigh and squeezed while his other hand reached up and grabbed her breast.

She squirmed beneath his tongue. And she squirmed so much that he moved his arm away from her thigh and held her down with it. She grabbed a fistful of his hair in her hands and arched her back. She bit her lip to keep from moaning too loudly and tried her best with containing herself.

Sasuke looked up at Sakura, their eyes met and Sasuke saw the lust filled look in her eyes. It was wild and almost desperate. He pulled his mouth away and licked his lips before rummaging through the bag at the foot of her bed and removing one of the boxes of condoms. While opening the box and getting out a packet, Sakura sat up and tugged on Sasuke's belt.

She pushed him back onto the bed and released his erection from his boxer briefs. She took the condom from Sasuke as he pushed his pants and boxer briefs down and bit his lip as Sakura slid on the condom for him before lowering herself onto him.

"Impatient much?" Sasuke teased and watched as Sakura put her hands on his lower abdomen and began to ride him.

"Shut up," Sakura demanded as she continued to ride. She bit her lip to keep from moaning out too loudly but the room was already beginning to be filled with the sound of her hips coming down onto him. Her juices overflowing and causing a loud squelching sound to fill the room. She grinded her hips against him as she removed her sweater so she was left wearing only her thigh high socks.

Sasuke sat up and removed his own shirt before grasping the back of Sakura's neck and pulling her into a kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and moans loudly as their tongues twirled around one another. He wrapped his arms around her waist and gripped her bottom in his hands.

She pulled away slightly, her hand on his chest as she continued to ride him, "I love you."

Sasuke smiled. He repositioned the two of them so that Sakura was lying on her back. He didn't waste time to start thrusting into her and Sakura's hands immediately went above her head and grabbed her headboard, "Say it again."

"I love you," Sakura breathed as she wrapped her legs around her waist. "I love you, Sasuke-kun. I love you."

"Again," Sasuke requested as he leaned down so his face was inches from hers.

"I love you," Sakura moaned as she took Sasuke's face into her hands and kissed him again. She wrapped her arms around his neck again and laced her fingers through his hair as he continued to thrust into her. Her moans became louder and louder with each of his thrust and when he slammed into her one more. She clung to him as she reached her own climax.

As Sakura pulled away from him, Sasuke could see the look of ecstasy on her face. He chuckled at the euphoric expression before placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I love you too," he responded.

Sakura giggled at Sasuke's sweetness before running her fingers through his hair, "Sorry about your hair. You just got it done too."

"Nothing a quick blow dry and some gel won't fix," Sasuke assured her.

Sakura gasped, "So your hair doesn't naturally spike in the back like that? Have you been lying to me all this time?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes and shook his head while Sakura giggled again.

Over at Konoha City Stadium, Naruto walked hand in hand towards where all the other skaters were getting ready to continue with their practice. Naruto was listening intensely to something Hinata was telling him but he stopped when he saw the young woman sitting on the bench nearby.

He recognized long, spikey red hair against her dark skin and the way her amber colored eyes seemed to glow. And she wore the trademark lightning bolt shaped studs in her ear and saw her elaborate tattoo covering her left arm. She saw him too. She stood and smiled.

"I thought I recognized that head of blonde hair," she said as Hinata and Naruto made their way over. She gave Hinata a sweet smile before looking back at Naruto, "Naruto, it's been a while."

"It's good to see you again Karui," Naruto responded.

"So, it looks like you're starting to convert," Karui commented as she felt on his jacket before looking up at him. "I guess your dear old dad couldn't keep you away for too much longer; especially not with what happened recently."

Hinata was in the middle of lacing up her skates when she looked up and saw an unfamiliar look in Naruto's eyes. It was dark and she wasn't entirely sure how to react to it. And she saw the way Karui eyed him, a smirk on her lips as she took a step closer to him; the gap between them going from acquaintances to friends to maybe something more once upon a time.

"I have to say, I was really surprised when word hit Kumo but when I saw you post those updates from the hospital room and I saw you were perfectly fine," Karui ran her hand down Naruto's jacket, "that's when I realized you're not too much different from your father."

Naruto grabbed ahold of Karui's wrist before she went too far south and he gave her a small smile. The dark look remained in his eyes, "I can't hang around too much longer but I look forward to catching up with you next weekend in Kumo. Also, I wish you the best of luck with your competition."

Hinata felt the awkward tension between the two of them before Naruto released Karui's wrist. She saw the way Karui rubbed her wrist before simply smiling and making her way back onto the rink. Hinata looked to Naruto and saw the way his jaw flexed before he let out a heavy sigh and turned his attention to her. His eyes were familiar once more.

"I better get going," Naruto said as Hinata stood up. He hugged her and squeezed and enjoyed the way she buried her face in his neck, her breathe soothing against his neck. He lifted her off the ground slightly and enjoyed the sound of her giggle before putting her down. "I'll see you soon?"

"I'll see you soon," Hinata assured. "I'll call you after dinner?"

"After dinner is perfect," Naruto confirmed. He gave her a quick peck before smiling at her, "Don't overdo it, okay?"

"I'll try not to," Hinata promised before getting one more peck from Naruto. She giggled as this one lasted longer than the first before he pulled away. She waved and gave him a sweet smile as he leave and once he was gone, she made her way onto the ice.

She hadn't made a full lap around the ice before Karui approached her. She stopped, "Karui-chan?"

"Here's just a little bit of a warning: be careful," Karui warned. "Yeah, sure, you had an issue with Watanabe Baji but that was child's play compared to the shit people like us have to deal with on a regular basis. Plus, anyone who's that calm after having murdered someone is someone you should be cautious of."

"Huh?" Hinata watched as Karui gave her a sweet smile before skating away. Hinata stood there confused and stunned before looking up to where Naruto now walked, his phone to his ear and his usual grin on his face. He looked down at her and waved and she waved back.
