Sasuke & Naruto

"Dobe. It's no use trying to escape. Chakra enforced wires." Sasuke stated absently. The majority of his attention was focused on whatever he was rummaging for under the bed rather then the struggling and cursing blond on the bed. His fingers hit upon the scroll and he pulled it out snapping it open. "Hmm…." According to his calculations he'd have roughly a week before Konoha would send shin obi's after Naruto… then another week to hunt him down. He turned to the boy tied up after scanning the scroll. Naruto cringed at the gleam in the stoic boy's eyes.

"Ah…ah hahahahahaha, re-really funny Sasuke. You can let me go now." Naruto stated nervously as Sasuke approached. His heart dropped when a smirk tugged up the corners of the other boy's lips. Soft raven black hair brushed the sensitive scars across the kitsune's cheek making him shiver.

"Naruto." Sasuke purred in the blondes ear. Said boy stiffened pressing back into the bed desperately. Sasuke only leaned in closer. "I need your cooperation for this." He murmured.

"W-well you're not getting it!" Naruto stated bravely feeling anything but that. "T-this is uh… SEXUAL-"

"Yes. Very sexual."

"HARASSMENT!" He finished flushing a bright tomato red. "A-and I'm going to-hey! Get your hand out of there!" He wiggled trying in vain to dislodge the cool hand that was currently snaking up his black sweater. Sasuke smirked pressing a finger over a rapidly hardening nipple. His other hand slid down Naruto's waist dipping into the loose waistband. Naruto squeaked and gave an involuntary spasm in surprise.

"Yeesssss?" Sasuke hissed making sure to drag and press his palm against the rock hard bulge between the blondes spred legs.

"Yesssss." Naruto echoed with his head thrown back, eyes squeezed shut, and mouth opened in a load breathy moan. Sasuke smirked and pushed himself off the smaller boy. Naruto blinked slightly disorientated at the sudden loss of warmth and pressure. Before he could regain his balance, a pale hand shoved the rest of his shirt up and the waistband of his pants lower fully exposing the Kyuubi's seal. He bit his thumb until blood ran freely.

"S-Sasuke? What the hell do you think you're doing!" Naruto screeched when something wet was pressed into his stomach inside the seal. Sasuke ignored the screeching muttering softly before suddenly pressing all five fingers down. Time seemed to freeze for the half second before the newer revised seal set in. The moment shattered as Naruto's back arched and a blood curdling scream rent the air. He thrashed wildly and so suddenly that Sasuke was thrown off the bed. The spiral seal on Naruto's stomach glowed a bright red just like Sasuke's mark before they'd killed Orochimaru. He scrambled gracefully to his feet and hastily left the room Naruto's screams echoing even through the closed door.

Five minutes later he returned with a bucket, a bowl of water, and a small towel. He placed the bucket on the floor next to the bed and untied the chakra enforced wires around Naruto's wrist. Not a moment too soon either because the instant the wires disappeared, Naruto swung up into a sitting position and gagged. Sasuke swiftly grabbed the blondes waist maneuvering him around so that he'd puke into the bucket. Blood poured out through harsh coughs and painful sounding chokes. Naruto clung to him fisting his hands into Sasuke's black mesh shirt. His back snapped into another painful arch bloody mouth gasping in a silent scream. Sasuke twisted around snagging the small towel quickly dipping it into the bowl. He wiped the blood off of the blondes mouth and the sweat from his forehead. Just another five more hours, Sasuke reminded himself as Naruto writhed and thrashed in the bed screaming silently in pain. The spiral seal was spinning crazily glowing a red hot color. Sasuke clasped the struggling teen in his arms rocking him and whispering soothingly in his ears. "Come on, you can do this." He murmured over and over again. The scroll had said it was painful… but Sasuke had not imagined that it would be this bad.

Finally after a gut wrenching hour, Naruto calmly and fell into a deep slumber. The spiral seal had settled and returned to its normal black color. An extra circle enclosing the original seal was the only outer sign that the jutsu had worked. Sasuke cleaned up the area and stripped the blond. His movements were steady and purely clinical and analytical as he scanned the blond to make sure everything was in order. Before leaving the room and Naruto to get some rest, Sasuke settled a hand over the blondes still flat stomach. He closed his eyes a small but genuine smile curving his lips.

"Soon."

The Group - Kakashi, Iruka, Shikamaru, Neji, Gaara, & Lee

They had finally stopped and camped near a small lake as the sun began to set. Kakashi warned them to watch their back as the sky darkened at a considerably faster rate then usual for Konoha residents. Lee leapt gracefully over a fallen log swiping at a dry twig near his feet. Kakashi had told him to go and collect dry branches with Shikamaru. And indeed the lazy nin ambled at a much slower pace behind the green whirlwind ahead. And yet a thatch of red seemed to glow in the rapidly approaching darkness as it drifted along with the two other shin obi. Shikamaru had earlier entertained the thought of inquiring as to why Gaara had chosen to tag along, but he had shrugged it off a second after finishing the thought. To ask would be using and wasting much needed energy. Energy he could use for other things like cloud gazing. Shikamaru rolled his eyes up to peer half-lidded at the thick clouds still visible. His hands were still tucked into the front pockets of his pants as he contemplated and absently toyed with the idea of just ditching the two and heading back to camp. Lee's restless energy gave him a headache.

The sudden yelp and wham of what could only be Lee slipping and slamming into a puddle of sand for the hundredth time drew Shikamaru's attention back to the two. Lee was picking himself delicately off the ground assessing any damages. Gaara stood off to the side with his arms crossed over his chest and his face expressionless. "YOSH!" Came Lee's startlingly loud cry. He grinned at them and went bouncing off again. Shikamaru groaned and ambled after.

"Nara."

"Hmmm?" They didn't look at each other. One had his eyes pinned to a bowl cut teen while the other had his eyes pinned to the now inky blue black sky.

"Leave. I'll… assist Lee."

Shikamaru shrugged, spun on his heel, and headed back to the camp ground all without saying a word. Sometimes, some things just weren't worth questioning. "Shikamaru? Where's Lee?" Neji stood in the lake submerged to his knees. His hair had been released and fell in simmering waves around his pale face. Shikamaru felt his face heating suddenly thankful for the darkness. He shuffled out of the trees over to stand at the edge of the water.

"With Gaara." Came his reply. Neji nodded and returned to what he was doing. He bent over at the waist sticking his hands into the water. His hair tumbled down falling into the water. "Fishing?" Shikamaru inquired. Neji grunted a positive. Shikamaru toed off his shoes and bent to roll up his pants. A few seconds later he was wading into the water to help. But every so often he would find himself peeking up to stare at Neji's simmering hair.

"Do I have something in my hair?" Neji asked making Shikamaru jerk in surprise.

"Eh… y-yeah. Right here." He leaned forward and eagerly slipping his fingers through the silky strands. So soft… pillow soft and silky too! Pupil-less silver-ish purple eyes stared into dark brown. Their faces were inches apart both moving together without even realizing they were doing so. The sudden yelp and wham of what could only be Lee slipping and slamming into a puddle of sand for the hundredth and one time made Neji and Shikamaru spring apart both flushing a hot apple red.

Lee immediately scrambled to his feet and struck the good guy pose declaring loudly, "The springtime of youth waits for no one!" They both stared at him as if he'd lost his mind. What the hell is he talking about? Neji thought.

The low hum of lowered voices drew the four shin obi's attention to Kakashi and Iruka who had walked off earlier to send the report but were now rapidly approaching. The two paused when they spotted the four.

"Oh-ho. What were the four of you doing hm?" Kakashi asked sweetly with a perverted wiggle of his eyebrow. Iruka smacked the back of his head with a hissed, "Kakashi-sensei!" He turned to them.

"Did you guys manage to get everything together?" He asked.

"Tents are set up." Neji replied. Lee flushed and bent to pick up the scattered branches and twigs. Gaara stood slightly off to the side his arms crossed over his chest with an eerily smug smirk curling up the corners of his lips. "Three tents." Neji pointed to three black blotches near the tree line. Kakashi's one eye arched as he beamed at them.

"Wonderful. Iruka and I will take the first watch. Neji and Shikamaru will take the second watch, and Gaara and Lee will take the last watch. You will share tents in that order, now off to bed." Everyone nodded. Neji went back to fishing with Shikamaru standing in the water, hands in his pocket and slouched back peering through half lidded eyes at said teen. Lee was talking softly with Iruka as they readied a fire. Kakashi had his nose buried in his book some how managing to read the text and ogle the pictures in the darkness. Gaara still stood slightly off to the side but more behind Lee then anything else looking as if he was lost in thought the same smug smirk still plastered on his face.

A few minutes ago - Gaara & Lee

Gaara watched with an almost detached feeling of satisfaction at his fast reflexes. Lee yelped slamming into the puddle of sand Gaara had made to cushion his fall. To his side, Shikamaru looked as if he was half asleep slouched back with his hands in his front pockets. "YOSH!" Gaara turned his attention back to his love interest. Hmm… get rid of the competition. He turned back to Shikamaru as Lee went bouncing off again.

"Nara."

"Hmmm?" Gaara didn't look at him and he didn't look at Gaara. One had his eyes pinned to a bowl cut teen while the other had his eyes pinned to the now inky blue black sky.

"Leave. I'll… assist Lee." He chose his words carefully fully aware of the double meaning. Shikamaru shrugged and spun around ambling away. Gaara smirked. Competition eliminated. He stalked Lee at a predatorily sedate pace. He chuckled to himself watching Lee's antics. Lee had stopped ahead and bent to pick up some more twigs. Gaara took the opportunity to catch up to his prey. "Oi, Shikamaru, Gaara… do you think this would be enough?" He turned around and blinked. "Gaara? Shikamaru?" The bundle of twigs and branches were cradled in his arms as he scanned the area. "Shikamaru? Gaaraaaaaaa-" There was a flash of red before Lee found himself being slammed into a tree. All the branches and twigs he'd collected tumbled from his arms as Gaara pinned them above his head. Large round black eyes stared into glowing green. "Ga-Gaara! Ee-mmph!" Not giving him a chance to do much but wiggle, Gaara slanted his head, leaned forward and captured Lee's lips all within a few milli-seconds.

Just that firm pressure brought a tingle dancing down Lee's spine. If possible, his eyes grew even bigger before slowly drifting shut. His head tilted unconsciously when Gaara's soft lips parted and a tongue flickered out to run along Lee's bottom lip. He drew away slightly. "You're mine, Lee." He nipped Lee's bottom lip before running a soothing tongue over the bite. He pressed his lower body snugly into Lee's molding easily to the thinly clad teen. "All mine!" He hissed diving right back in.

Lee was panting by the time Gaara pulled away. He was trembling with his forehead resting on Gaara's shoulder face turned into the other's neck. His lips were probably swollen and felt highly sensitive. "U-uh," Lee gulped griping the red head's upper arms. "I-I don't think this is w-why they s-sent us o-out." Lee managed to stutter out. His pale cheeks were flushed a bright red and there was a shy slant to his eyes. A strange smile tugged at his lips. Gaara had one hand buried in the back of Lee's hair and that hand now shifted around toying with the silky strands. He shifted until they were once again face to face lips just inches apart.

"Do you understand, Lee?" Gaara purred. He bent and nipped Lee's neck before shuffling closer and settling his mouth over the bite. Lee arched with a barely suppressed moan his fingers convulsing on Gaara's upper arm. "Remember, you're mine." And just like that, Gaara broke away and disappeared into the surrounding foliage. Lee slid down with a dazed look on his face and eyes.

What the hell?

He suddenly sprang to his feet small hands clutched into tight fists. Then a blush immediately crawled up his face when he remembered the possessive tone of Gaara's voice. He pushed the thought aside and hurriedly collected what he'd dropped. A second later saw him back to his original vibrant self as he hurried back to the campsite. Just at the edge of the tree line he tripped over an extended root and with a yelp fell flat on his face in a puddle of sand. He quickly scrambled back to his feet and struck a good guy pose. "The springtime of youth waits for no one!" He declared then rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly when Neji and Shikamaru looked at him as if he was a few dull steps away from being a sharp kunai.

Later that night; First Watch - Kakashi & Iruka

Iruka's eyebrow twitched as Kakashi prodded him again. "Hmm, you think they're all asleep?" He whispered wiggling an eyebrow. They were both perched precariously on a thick tree trunk side by side facing opposite directions. Kakashi had long ago settled comfortably against Iruka and had no qualms about slouching his whole weight against the smaller man.

"Kakashi-sensei-"

"Kakashi. After all, I don't do midnight escapades with just anyone." Kakashi said with a happy giggle.

Iruka resisted the urge to shove the man off the tree asking himself again how he could have a crush on such a childish man as this. Of course… it might have something to do with the intensity in his eye. Or maybe it was the way he was quick to defend. Or..

Iruka's heart thumped hard and fluttered in his chest as his chocolate brown eyes grew dreamy. The graceful way the Jounin moved…. It was like… like…

"A crane."

"No! Koi!"

"Eh? No, see, a crane." Iruka flushed bright red when he realized what he'd said out loud. Then what Kakashi said registered in his mind and he quickly twisted around to peer over the Jounin's shoulder at the lake. Indeed a large white bird had settled on the lake near the shore. It spread its wings shuffling gracefully back and forth as if searching for something within the waters. The bright silver moonlight bounced off of the bird's white feathers making the crane glow with an almost ethereal light.

"Beautiful." Iruka breathed in awe.

Kakashi's one eye arched in a smile and yet he wasn't facing the lake when he replied with a soft, "Hai, hai."

Second Watch - Shikamaru & Neji

Shikamaru yawned not bothering to suppress it and stuck a pinky in his ear. Che… what an irritating man. Shikamaru eyed Kakashi and Iruka-sensei's tent contemplatively toying with the thought of revenge. Let's see how you like to be woken like that! Shikamaru thought. But after imagining himself tossing the silver haired shin obi out of his own tent, Shikamaru discarded the thought. Too much time and energy. He yawned again slouching unintentionally into his partner. They were also perched on the same trunk that Kakashi and Iruka-sensei had been on earlier.

"That man. I hope fate kick's his ass." Neji muttered.

"Eeeehh… I thought you weren't into that anymore?" Shikamaru drawled lazily. He watched Neji shrug from the corner of his eye.

"Habit." The other replied.

The rest of the watch was spent in companionable silence. Neither seemed to notice nor care that while they sat facing opposite directions they were literally pressed against each other, molding at the sides to the other. Neji had one arm slung casually around Shikamaru's waist his fingers fiddling absently with the shadow-nin's belt. Shikamaru also had his arm slung around the Hyuuga's waist but wasn't toying with Neji's belt. He had some how wiggled his fingers under other's shirt and was currently leisurely stroking the warm smooth skin. And so they sat, each lost in their own thoughts.

Third Watch - Gaara & Lee

Gaara smirked remembering how Shikamaru had jumped slightly when he'd entered their tent to find the Kazekage staring at him. It was simple, Gaara didn't sleep, the monster inside him was making sure of that. Speaking of monsters…. he eyed his silent companion. What was this about the Green Beast of Konoha?

Lee suddenly flushed an alarming red and lowered his head kicking almost bashfully at the ground. "Um.. The Green Beast of Konoha is Gai-sensei." He replied. Gaara realized a little late that he'd spoken out loud.

"He's impulsive and too feminine." The sand-nin stated. Lee's head snapped up his round black eyes narrowing in anger.

"Don't say that about Gai-sensei! He's the best teacher there is! I admit he's a bit… different at times but that's what makes him unique!" Lee quickly defended. Gaara tilted his head. Lee's eyes were trained on the red haired almost challengingly. Gaara suddenly smirked and stalked over to the other boy with predatorily bright shine to those green eyes. He drew even with a suddenly nervous Lee and grabbed the teen's belt. Like this, he slowly reeled the other closer until they were pressed tight together. Gaara leaned in close burying his head in the other's nape. "Feel this?" He sucked gently on the reddened skin from earlier. Lee shuddered and moaned softly. "You're mine. That better be the only man you defend like that." Gaara hissed. Lee nodded helplessly as the other suddenly slid a hand into his hair and hauled him up. Lee moaned softly when he felt the other teen's breath ghosting over his suddenly sensitive lips. It was him that crossed that final distance flinging his arms around his companion and dragging him close. And as their lips met in a war of dominance, one phrase echoed through his head, the springtime of youth waits for no one.

TBC…..

Extra Oneshot - Hinata's Dance of the Bumblebees

Hinata shuffled shyly forward. Their sensei had left dismissing them for the day. She quickly grabbed the hem of Kiba's jacket when he was going to hurry off with Akamaru. Shino paused mid-step.

"A-Ano… K-Kiba-kun… c-can I ask for a f-favor?" She stuttered out shyly. He swung around and grinned but his eyes were slightly dim as if his mind was simply miles away.

"Sure Hinata, what is it?"

"Well… uuhh… c-can you k-k-kiss m-me?" She instantly turned a bright tomato red and glued her gaze to the dirt ground. Shino's breath hitched and his eyes narrowed behind its shades. His hands tightened into tight fists inside their pockets.

"Sure!" Kiba agreed readily. He shifted so that he was fully facing her and leaned down closing his eyes in the process. Hinata continued to blush turning an even brighter red. But she gamely raised her lips to receive the other. A shot of boiling hot jealousy shot through Shino. Just before the two's lips met Hinata yelped and quickly sprang away from Kiba. Shino smirked evilly drilling his eyes into the girl's back. Hinata was nice and a cool person… but nobody, nobody touched what was his. They tried to resume the kiss. Shino frowned and Hinata yelped again. There was a sudden buzzing in the air and suddenly the air was filled with thumb sized bumblebees. And yet… they surrounded the hapless girl as she screamed running off. Shino chuckled softly to himself not even caring that Kiba had also followed the girl. After all, the bees would make sure that Hinata wouldn't touch what was his.

All right… that was bad. Hehehehehe… well tell me what you think of this chapter. More to come, more to come. Review, Review, Review and I'll keep writing. This is actually entertaining though I think they're becoming more and more OOC… eehh… my only excuse is that they're growing.

"The springtime of youth waits for no one"

I got that out of episode uh… 142 I think. Totally random. Sorry. Well thanks for reading and keep on reading. Review though!

Oh yeah, and please excuse the lameness of my attempts at writing lime even if it wasn't all that. Ureeka! I've never done it before. First attempt and all that funky stuff. And uh.. Koi is fish right?
