I hope everyone had a good holiday! I know I did. This includes a lemon in the chapter, so if you don't like reading lemons, please don't read.

Mori walked around Konoha with a sense of numbness in her limbs. Her mother was gone, her father was gone, her entire pack was gone, and Hideo should be considered gone too. She couldn't reach through to him. She was alone in this world, with no alpha to lead or guide her. Iruka had gone to check on something with the academy, leaving Mori to her treacherous thoughts. He gave her permission to take shelter in his small apartment, and Mori had a good intention of using his permission.

The sun was high in the sky when Mori stumbled up the steps to Iruka's front door. She lifted a trembling hand to open the front door when it opened by itself. Mori was briefly shocked before she saw a familiar face. Iruka smiled gently at the grieving woman and took her hand in his.

"I finished at the academy early so I decided to come home early. Please come in" he said and let Mori in.

As Iruka closed the door behind her, she took everything in; it acted as a balm on her sorrowful soul.

"Would you like something to eat or drink?" he said quietly.

"No...no thank you" Mori murmured and wandered aimlessly around the apartment as Iruka busied himself.

She sat down heavily on a chair and held her head in her hands. Her head felt heavy and stuffed, as if someone had stuffed it with pounds upon pounds of cotton and wool. Cool wetness raced down her cheeks and Mori dumbly reached for her cheek. Her fingers came away wet with her tears. She bowed her head and let her tears fall freely. They fell and landed on the floor with a small 'plip', and her shoulders shook with small sobs. She didn't notice Iruka come to kneel beside her.

"Mori?" he spoke in a quiet whisper and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I have no one. My entire pack is gone forever" she cried, hiccuping every so often.

Iruka stumbled back as Mori threw herself on the Chunin and cried heavily, entire body shaking with the force of each sob. His arms encircled her back, holding Mori to him as she cried herself out. After what seemed like hours, Iruka felt Mori relax in his grasp. He leaned back enough to look at her face. Her eyes were closed, and her cheeks were stained with the tracks of her tears. Mori opened her eyes and gazed into his dark eyes. It felt like if she moved, she would break and shatter into millions of tiny pieces. She grasped the material of his vest tightly in her hands as she opened her mouth.

"Please...don't leave me" she whispered with a shaky voice.

Iruka blinked and gave her a warm and gentle smile. He covered her hand with his own, encompassing it in warmth.

"I'm not going anywhere" he said, and Mori crashed her lips on his.

Iruka blinked in surprise at the woman's bold actions, but soon found himself molding his lips against hers. Before long, Mori felt herself being lifted up by strong arms and she gasped in surprise. Her world spun and she gasped when she felt a mattress underneath her. She gazed up at the Chunin above her, eyes unsure and nervous. Mori smiled gently and cupped his cheek in her hand.

"Please..." she whispered, and reached down slowly to pluck at his vest.

Iruka got the message and the vest was shed along with his shirt. Mori's red eyes travelled across his slight muscular build, greedily taking it all in. She needed this or else she would go mad. She sat up and brought her hands to the hem of her long shirt. With a grin Mori slowly brought the shirt over her head and threw it in a random direction. Her cheeks began to heat up when she noticed Iruka's gaze zero in on her breast band. She never needed a bra due to her smaller chest size, so a breast band suited Mori just fine. With a slight giggle, Mori noticed Iruka's rapidly growing excitement. It was Iruka this time who leaned in and brushed his lips with hers, and Mori let out a sigh of contentment.

Mori felt small shocks of arousal course through her body as his hands came up, gently cupping her breasts through the material. His thumbs brushed against her nipples, and her back arched. She let out a small gasp as Iruka continued his ministrations, and her hips started moving on their own accord. Iruka let out a groan as her thigh brushed against his quickly hardening manhood.

He quickly brought her hips to a stop, causing the woman underneath him to groan in frustration. If Mori continued, this would end before it even began. With a huff, Mori quickly shed her pants and threw them off the bed. She reached out and wound her arms around Iruka's neck, bringing his mouth to hers. Lips clashed against each other and tongues battled for dominance.

Arousal blazed through both people as they continued their battle, and Iruka quickly shed his pants along with his underwear. Mori broke away from Iruka with a gasp as his hand came up and gently ran his finger across her womanhood.

She threw back her head against the pillow as mind-numbing pleasure crashed through her body. Breathy moans escaped her lips and echoed through the room as Iruka continued. Pleasure was already making her wet and willing, and this almost caused Iruka to lose it.

"Please Iruka...I need.." Mori gasped out as he continued, but cried out when Iruka dragged his manhood against her.

She bit her lip as her body heated up to dangerous degrees. A deep moan echoed from Iruka as he continued, and Mori let out a whimper. She needed him now.

"Iruka" she whispered, gazing in his dark eyes.

With a nod, Iruka thrust all the way into her body causing Mori to let out a yelp as her body protested. He stilled as a few tears escaped from Mori's eyes and slid down her cheeks. His body trembled; begging him to move as heat encased him. Iruka looked down at the woman writhing beneath him and gently cupped her face in his hand. She opened her eyes and gave him a tiny smile, silently telling him it was alright.

With a sigh he slid out and thrust back in, hearing breathy gasps from the woman who held his heart since she first came back to Konoha. Before long, Mori was moaning loudly as pleasure replaced pain. Something was beginning to coil like a snake in Mori's belly, and she was sure it would burst soon. Her hands wound around Iruka, holding the male to her as he continued thrusting. Her breath caught in her throat when Iruka gave a particularly deep thrust of his hips, and she could definitely see stars. If he continued she would unhinge.

The snake-like coil began to wrap itself tighter and tighter, and with a gasp Mori felt her muscles tightening.

"I-Iruka! I'm...I'm.." Mori started, but the coil broke inside her.

Her scream of release tapered into a howl as her muscles clenched around Iruka. With two more deep thrusts, Iruka released himself into Mori. After a couple seconds of breathing hard, Iruka rolled off of Mori and the two laid in silence. Heavy breathing echoed through the bedroom as both came down from their high peaks.

Mori turned on her side and pressed her cheek against Iruka's sweat-slicked shoulder. Her soul felt restored now that she was with the man she had begun to love since she was a young pup. With a sigh she closed her eyes.

Maybe now she could begin to heal.
