A/N: So hey, it's chapter 4. From this point on this will be a Sakura X Tentenstory. I am sorry about everything thus far, and if anyone is still reading this, then I am sorry for the slow pace this story has had. Maybe starting it off with random love making works better in the long run. Oh well just think of the first three chapters as an elaborate setup. Anyways this chapter is sexually explicit… yuri… lemon… stuff… blah, blah, blah.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, if you do, I'd be willing to give you my soul as compensation for it.

The pink haired girl rushed at great lengths in the direction of her village, tears poured freely from her eyes. The kunoichi knew not whether these were tears of sadness or of joy. There was no mistaking the shriek cry, it was a sound that accompanied great pain, yet it was followed by silence, by nothing. Why should she be upset though? That woman really wasn't anything to her, besides the young chunin knew that this woman embraced death as her release. No, these tears were the tears of realized freedom. She was free of that place, that unspeakable torture, but more importantly she was free of the bonds she had placed upon herself. She now knew the truth and she accepted it. She, Sakura Haruno, was a lesbian.

Sakura remained deep in thought as she strode toward her home; she had attained information as to her whereabouts from travelers and had ascertained the direction she needed to travel to reach Konoha. Sakura couldn't help but feel stupid; why did it take her so damn long to realize the truth about herself? Wasn't she supposed to be the smart one? Yet here she was, bruised and battered, pains still gnashing at her from the inside, wearing these unfamiliar, unnecessarily provocative robes (which she didn't fill out near as well as Mitsu), and only now was she sure of her own sexuality. It didn't take Sakura long to rework the path of her life with this taken into regard: Sauske was not her first crush, Ino was. Ino had been so sweet to her; she had seen Sakura's beauty when no oneelse hadand had wanted to unleash it to the world. Sakura was blindly in love with Ino before she knew what love was, thus scared of her feelings, Sakura had done what was needed to distance herself from her friend. She had simply used Sauske as a means to do so. She never really had feelings for him beyond that of friendship, just gushing over boys was something expected of young girls. Sakura had chosen Sauske as the idol of her fascination because of his popularity, Ino's love for him, and because she recognized that with his personality he would be unattainable. She embraced this, if she was fated to never have the one she "loved" she would never be forced to confront the truth of her feelings. However, now, she had been forced to confront this truth, and now had no choice but to recognize it.

Ino had moved on from Sauske, and to tell the truth, Sakura knew that she had moved on from Ino. A new angel graced Sakura's deepest desires, an angel named Tenten. Sakura didn't know when Tenten had become the object of her hidden lust. Tenten had never really been much more than a familiar name and face, more than an acquaintance, little more than a friend. Perhaps it was only on that night when Tenten fought on her behalf, or perhaps it was before that, herdesire had grown so strong, that Sakura could not, or at least did not care to, remember a time when she did not love Tenten. The pink haired kunonichi soon saw the familiar village in the distance; soon she would make her love be realized.

"So you see, we must return at once to save Sakura!" The dark haired kunoichi shouted suddenly.

"I understand your concern, Tenten, Sakura's a student of mine, and her recovery is a great concern to me, but it just doesn't seem like a good idea to send you back out there when you failed the first time." The Fifth Hokage spoke with a somber certainty to the young girl.

"The Hokage's right about this, Tenten, we just don't seem like a good fit against those guys, look what happened to Lee, we should let another team handle it now." Gai spoke in an overdramatic tone.

"But I have recovered since then, Sensei. I agree with Tenten, with dear Sakura in danger, IKonha's one and only Rock Lee, should be the one to ride to her side." Rock Lee posed flamboyantly as he spoke in his usual manner.

"And what's your take on the matter, Neji." Tsunade asked intently.

"That man challenged me to a fight; I see no reason to back out now." Neji spoke simply with a look of scorn about his face.

"Very well, Gai it seems your student's are in agreement on the matter, so your team will lead the raid of Seiko Kurogames's fortress, but this time you will have backup if you need it. You have one week to rest before the mission starts, and I want you to know…" Tsunade smiled slightly as she said her words; suddenly she was cut off by Shizune's frantic entrance. "Yes, Shizune, I'm in a meeting at the moment, perhaps this can wait."

"But, Lord Hokage, it's Sakura, she's returned." Shizune replied quickly.

"Really! Where is she?" Tenten questioned excitedly.

"She's right out here. Should I let her in, Lord Hokage." Shizune gave another quick reply.

"Of course." Tsunade said with relief.

Sakura Haruno entered the room; she had gone straight to this place, to the Hokage, to report her return to the village. She still wore the robes Mitsu gave her and the bruises Seiko gave her.

"Sakura! So you managed to escape." The Hokage exclaimed.

"Yes. Tsunade sensei, I just wanted to inform you that I made it back safely, and that you don't need to set out another rescue party." Sakura said quietly.

"My dear Sakura, you have returned to us, we shall celebrate this… uh… Why are you dressed like that?" Sakura turned at Lee's voice, and realized that the others were present in the room. Gai and Lee were staring at her, She caught Tenten's stare as well, be it only briefly.

"This was all I could find to wear." Sakura said with a blush toward Tenten and a turn toward Lee. "So Lee, have you recovered from the other day?"

"Yes, I have regained my strength and the pain has faded. It shall soon only be a distant memory." Lee gave a dramatic speech paired with a ridiculous pose.

"I will be expecting a full report on everything you learned during your captivity. Seiko Kurogame is a highly wanted man, and the operation to take him down will still proceed on schedule. Knowing his location, we can not pass up the opportunity to capture him." Tsunade spoke in a matter of fact tone toward the group as a whole.

"Lady Tsunade, wouldn't it be a better idea to let Sakura rest a while before forcing her to remember things again, she only just got back, and she has probably been through a lot…" Tenten started somewhat angrily.

"Don't worry Tenten, I didn't say she had to do anything now, the report can wait. You should probably all go get some rest." The Hokage responded calmly. The group had soon disbanded.

Sakura sat once more upon the hill from whence she was captured. That incident hadn't taken away the fact that this had become her thinking spot. She needed to think. For the first time in her life she saw things so clearly, she knew who she was, she knew what she wanted, but she didn't know what to do next. Feelings of joy, loneliness, lust, and confusion fought for dominance in her mind as she stared aimlessly at the not so distant forest.

"Man, I would have figured that this would be the last place you would come back to so soon, Sakura." A light voice called, breaking the pink haired kunoichi's train of thought.

"I like this place; you can see the forest and the village from here. It's all so beautiful." Sakura sighed deeply, turning to face the one she so longed for.

"It is nice here, but this was where it all started." Tenten said somberly. Sakura thought for a moment at this. This was where it all started. Tenten had fought for her sake at this place, her love for Tenten had blossomed here among the beauty of these surroundings.

"It's alright, Tenten." Sakura made a reply after awhile.

"No it's not, Sakura, it's dangerous out here, that creep could come back looking for you at any time. And besides, don't you get lonely out here all alone." Tenten spoke with a certain passion that made Sakura blush.

"Thank you for your concern. It does get lonely sometimes." Sakura said in reply.

"Well, then, why don't you come over to my place, if you have nothing else to do? We could talk and stuff, I mean you only just returned to the village, but it might be a good idea to interact with people after all that happened to you." Tenten started in a happy tone but finished somberly.

"That would be nice." Sakura said simply, trying to hide her incredible enthusiasm, at being invited to Tenten's home.

The two shinobi reached the destination quickly; Tenten's apartment wasn't far from that spot. Sakura was shown around the place, which was nice, not too large, but of adequate size for a single girl. Various weapons decorated the walls but it was very simply furnished. The two sat upon a large sofa, near a small table, where they begun their talk.

"So, you have private lessons with Tsunade?" Tenten asked.

"Yeah, she's really a good teacher, I've learned a lot from her." Sakura answered with a smile.

"I bet. You're lucky. I've always looked up to lady Tsunade, she shows the true potential of what a kunoichi can really do." Tenten said enthusiastically.

"Yep" Sakura replied happily.

"Even still you probably think about what your teammates are up to a lot. Naruto and… Sauske." Tenten spoke concerned.

"It's alright Tenten, I know Naruto's training hard and Sauske, he'll be back some day as well. I'll see them again, and I still have plenty of friends in the village" Sakura sighed lightly; she was so close to Tenten, the anticipation was killing her.

"I guess you have a point, but I don't know what I'd do if Lee and Neji both left." Tenten replied.

"It was lonely at first but I'm better now, when I was captured, I learned what real loneliness is and, I know that what I have her is very far from it." Sakura spoke deftly, prying for emotion.

"Oh, Sakura, I'm so sorry, that all happened to you. It was all my fault, I couldn't protect you, and… and… I'm just so sorry, I wanted to rescue you so badly, in hopes of making it up to you, but I just don't know, now, I don't think that there is anything I can do to compensate for my failure." Tears rolled down the side of tenten's face as she spoke with heavy breaths.

"I'm alright, Tenten, It wasn't all that bad… well actually it was, but I'm better now. I don't blame you in any way; in fact I'm grateful to you for standing up for me. I'm just glad I don't have to put up with that any more." Sakura spoke very lightly considering the nature of her words, though her former agony could be seen in her last sentence.

"Sakura… were you raped?" Tenten question a dead seriousness upon her face.

"Yes I was, Tenten, a total of five times." Sakura replied in an equally serious manner.

"That's terrible, Sakura, I really feel bad for you, if there is anything you want me to do to help you through this you just name it." Tenten continued seriously. Sakura thought for a moment, this was her chance, her one shot, she had to act now.

"Well there is one thing..." Sakura replied under heavy breath.

"Yes."

"There is something that I need to know, something that has been bugging me constantly for a while now. I hope that this doesn't hurt you, Tenten." Sakura's excitement was clearly visible.

"I'm not easily hurt; go ahead lay it on me." Tenten responded, somewhat confused. Rater than respond with words Sakura moved her head forward, forcing Tenten's lips to meet her own. The two kissed gently for a moment before Tenten broke it a look of something between excitement and confusion lingered in her eyes. She opened her mouth to say something, but Sakura found word first.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that, it's weird, and wrong, and you probably hate me now." Sakura panted, the look of uncertainty had transferred to her. She didn't know what to say or do anymore, she wanted Tenten, but she didn't know if she could have her. Suddenly Sakura was startled as Tenten once more closed in to continue the kiss. They didn't get much farther this time as Sakura broke the kiss, this time thoroughly confused.

"What are you doing? D-do you actually want to kiss me?" Sakura struggled to say.

"It's what you want isn't it? I said I'd do anything for you, and I stand by that. I was a little confused at first but, it's really not that weird, Sakura." Tenten spoke with strength that amplified Sakura's desire. She wasted little time in resuming the endeavor, leaning in to kiss the pink haired girl. Sakura was free now to do what she wanted.

She poked her tongue forcefully at the other's mouth and it was accepted graciously as Tenten opened her mouth and began to run her own tongue against it. As their tongues continued to lash against one another and their teeth clashed passionately, Tenten began to run her fingers through Sakura's hair. In response the pink haired girl began to stroke her hand gently against the contours of her shirt. Sakura looked deep into the other girl's eyes before breaking the kiss to remove Tenten's shirt and the simple cotton bra underneath. She began to rub at the girl'sshoulder while she ran kisses down her neck. Sakura then moved her hand to one of Tenten's breasts and began to playfully rub and prod at her nipple. She moved quickly to greet the other now erect nipple as she sensually ran her tongue across the older girl's chest. Tenten gave a soft suppressed moan, which Sakura knew very well the meaning of.

Sakura wasted little time in moving her hands to Tenten's waist, carefully removing the other woman's pants. The younger girl now moved her hand against the soft, feminine legs up towards the simple, white panties that still adorned the girl. She removed them lustfully, taking notice of their dampness. Sakura ran her fingers painfully slowly along the other's vagina, rubbing the clitoris passionately before delving them inside the girl. Tenten gave a pleasure full moan as Sakura moved her fingers in and out. The pink haired girl then slowly removed herself from the other, licking greedily at the moisture upon her fingers. Sakura moved in closer; she gave a soft lick to taste, before delving her tongue deep into Tenten's pussy. She licked passionately at the deep slit, pressing her tongue against the other girl from the inside. Tenten tasted different then Mitsu, she was sweeter and softer, she was also more responsive. Her moans were higher, more frequent and more erratic, and she produced a lot more fluid which Sakura thoroughly enjoyed coating her tongue with.

"Ah… yes… yes… yes… it's… so good… Sak…ura…" Tenten moaned under her deep breaths. Sakura could tell that she was close now. She licked at the girl harder, deeper and more passionately, swirling her tongue around Tenten's throbbing clit and hard against her most sensitive areas. Tenten gave an enthusiastic cry that she was going to cum which made the other girl respond with even more intensity. Soon Tenten gave a deep and long moan and Sakura was greeted with a splash of fluid which she greedily consumed. Tenten continued to pant deeply; she had a shocked look about her.

"I hope you didn't mind doing that for me. Thanks for putting up with me." Sakura gave a laugh and a blush; she could still taste Tenten on her breath.

"Sakura. You have no idea what you're talking about. You don't know how excellent you are. That was the best orgasm I ever had, by far. I enjoyed every moment of it.I doubt that there is a girl alive that wouldn't enjoy what you just did." Tenten responded still trying to recover.

"Really? Thanks, I'm glad you liked it." Sakura said standing and turning with a blush.

"Where are you going? Don't I get a turn?" Tenten asked despondently.

"Wha? Do you really mean that?" Sakura spouted back, excitedly.

"Well, yeah. If what you want is me, I would think you would want me to pleasure you as well." Tenten spoke with marked enthusiasm.

"Yes I do. I'd like that very much." Sakura gave a happy sigh.

"Alright." Tenten smiled cheerfully before meeting Sakura for another kiss. She moved her tongue slowly through the girl's spit tasting her own taste upon the girl's tongue; she didnt mind for she liked the taste. She moved her hands to Sakura's shirt, which she began to unbutton and remove. Tenten wasted little time in also removing the silk undergarment strewn across Sakura's chest underneath. The dark haired girl spent some time feeling at this woman's chest; she liked the incredible softness of the flesh there, she liked the shape of the soft curves against her touch, and she liked how Sakura's nipples were rock solid under her hand. She then gave a kiss at one of Sakura's nipples, prodding it deeply with her tongue, pushing it and squeezing it against Sakura's breast. She repeated this action on the other nipple, all the while rubbing her hands down the younger girl's back, across her hips and thighs and then finally resting them upon Sakura's skirt which was immediately tossed aside.

Tenten moved her hand to Sakura's silk panties, feeling at the other girl through the fabric, and noticing how the entire undergarment was deeply saturated and was now dripping with fluid. Tenten removed it excitedly holding it in her hand.

"Wow. You sure are enjoying this, aren't you." Tenten spoke sensually before licking and sucking deep at the undergarment.

"What are you doing? That's… That's… Please I can't take it." Sakura spouted sporadically.

"Oh, but I was enjoying the delicious juices you made on my account. What is it todirty for you, Sakura? You need me to slow down?" Tenten teased, before throwing the wet garment to the floor.

"Oh please don't say those kinds of things. I'll go crazy." Sakura replied deeply wanting.

"Well then I'll just have to be more direct." Tenten shot back before about jumping toward Sakura's crotch and giving a long series of deep and forceful licks to the other's pussy all of which were followed moans of pleasure, and all of which were followed by the accruement of more bittersweet liquid. Soon she slowed her tempo and removed herself from the girl.

"What? Why did you stop?" Sakura asked suddenly.

"I thought you might want some more." Tenten said in response, forcing her legs wide open. Sakura gave a smile, before moving to position herself over the other girl so that they could both pleasure each other. She began to feel as Tenten's fingers suddenly thrust inside her, the girl's tongue brushing around them and across her clit. Sakura wasted little time before once more running her own tongue through the soft fibers of this other girl's inner self. Both girls were at full tempo, intensifying the pleasure of the moment with each slight movement. The younger girl soon began to attack the other ravenously moving her tongue with such speed and power that the other became distracted in her endeavor. Tenten countered this by moving her fingernails deep against Sakura's most sensitive spot. Sakura gave a delightful cry followed by a series if slow moans and Tenten knew she had her. She had soon removed her hand from the girl and began sensually prod the girl with her tongue until she forced Sakura to gape and moan deep inside of her. Knowing very well the other's intent, Sakura began to concentrate her passion on Tenten's single most vulnerable spot. Both women gave deep hard moans as they reached their sexual climaxes; soon they worked to lick up the splatter of liquid that the other had emitted. Sakura rolled over off of the girl and began to pant deeply, Tenten did much the same. It was several minutes before either girl spoke.

"So, did you find out what you needed to know?" Tenten asked; Sakura couldn't tell if she was being serious or trying to tease.

"I think so." Sakura replied coolly.

"And what was it that you found out?" Tenten next question came in the same oddly serious tone.

"That I love you." Sakura's emotional response was followed by a blush.

"Sakura, I want you to know that I don't hear those words that often, and if you are going to say them to me, I want you to promise that you stay true to them." Tenten's seriousness did not waver in the slightest.

"Sure I promise. But you're really ok with this?" Sakura said enthusiastically.

"Of course I am." Tenten smiled now.

"So, you've been with a girl before me then." Sakura stated.

"Nope. I've never even thought about girls like this before you." Sakura flashed another smile.

"Well then how can you be so accepting of it, I mean I was torn apart when I learned the truth about my feelings, I was expecting you to resist a little more." Sakura was a little disturbed.

"Well I was going to at first, but I realized that you met my standards. I'm sorry I must of ruined your fantasy of forcing an innocent, unwilling girl to become your mistress." Tenten spoke cheerfully, making Sakura blush.

"No, it's nothing like that at all!" Sakura started indignantly.

"It's alright. I think I could get used to you." Tenten laughed sensually.

"That's nice." Sakura sighed before closing into kiss her lover deeply.

Things were different for Sakura now. For the first time she was feeling things she had never felt before. She was happy with herself and with her life. Even the lingering pains she still sometimes felt from her previous ordeal did not distract her from the enjoyment of her lover's embrace. Sakura was happy now, for she knew that she was no longer alone.

A/N: Wow, what a long chapter. I just couldn't stop once I got into it, I hope you didn't mind. Well the Sakura X Tenten is in full affect now. The next chapter is going to tie up some certain lose ends, and sadly wont be focused on hot sex. I hope that this lemon was hot enough, as there probably won't be another one till the final chapter. Also, I could really use some more reviews, since they are pretty lacking (I'm not afraid of constructive criticism if that is all you have to offer). So keep reading, start reviewing and expect the next chapter soon.
