January 8th

"But I thought you wanted to wait until we got married?" Naruto questions as Hinata lightly pulls his hand leading him up the stairs.

"Well yes," She looks back over her shoulder at him, "but I did a little bit of reading of my own while you were gone." Referencing the skills Naruto had picked up on from his old sensei's books. "And there's something I wanted to try."

Please let it be what I think it is…please let her have read that book. Naruto sits down on his bed patting next to him for her to sit.

"So…" Hinata trails off, standing between his slightly open legs instead of sitting, unzipping his jacket and pushing it from his shoulders. "You just have to tell me if you think this is weird, alright?" She pushes the jacket from his shoulders, moving to kneel on the bed on either side of his leg, their faces now level.

"You've gotten bolder." Naruto smirks at the girl in his lap. "Just two months ago you couldn't talk to me without stuttering, ya know." He twirls the end of her hair between his fingers.

"Well my love." She grabs the hem of his shirt. "I suppose having the man you've loved for years finally get his shit," she pauses to look at the shocked expression on his face "together, and tell you how he feels might make a woman bold. Oh, and there is that whole I've seen you naked thing. Now be quiet, I'd like to get you there again." Hinata drags his shirt over his head.

Without wasting another moment Hinata begins kissing along his neck, dragging her tongue up to the pulse point feeling it quicken under her mouth before gently biting down. Continuing upwards Hinata reaches his ear, rounding the outer shell before giving the lobe a soft nibble.

"Now, Naruto." She purrs. "I know how much you love to talk, so why don't you use this time to tell me what you like." Her fingertips trailing down his naked chest before disappearing into his pants, finding him half hard already.

"Hhhhmmm…this just won't do." Hinata seems to talk to herself, as she slides off his lap, sinking to her knees.

God, he isn't saying anything, I hope he doesn't think I sound like an idiot. In the book the man seemed to really like it when the woman talked to him like this.

"Yeah, yeah that's good." Naruto's soft voice drags Hinata out of her thoughts, looking up she sees that his eyes are slightly closed and a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. Hinata pulls at his pants, as if on cue Naruto lifts his hips giving way allowing them to fall to the floor.

He looks so content, so happy. She thinks leaning forward and begins kissing the inside of Naruto's thigh, while her hand continues to rub up and down his cock until it becomes fully hard.

Well here goes nothing. She thinks placing a light kiss on the tip, taking a moment to look up at him, his expression the same. Hmm maybe if I… she thinks before lightly tracing the tip with her tongue like she had his ear.

"Hinata." Naruto praises, his mouth falling open slightly, while one hand grips the bedding the other gently runs through her hair.

Good, good. Now gently. Hinata reminds herself as she slowly takes him in her mouth. I wonder how much I can fit. She thinks, taking more of him into her mouth, reaching about halfway before an uncomfortable sensation starts in her throat.

"God Hinata…just like that." Naruto moans from above her, as she hollows her cheeks, swirling tongue around his length.

Moving her head up and down, Hinata begins to suck harder, paying special attention to the tip, licking around the head and slowly across the top each time she reaches it. Without thinking her teeth lightly scrape across his length. Looking up to seeNaruto biting his lower lip, his eyes clenched shut. She would think he was in pain if it wasn't for the soft moans coming from between his lips.

Well okay then, I'd say he likes it. She thinks, increasing her pace, moving him in and out of her mouth while working her tongue along the underside. Rubbing her tongue up and down his length while making short shallow trust with her mouth. I wonder if I…. She questions herself, taking one hand off to reach under gripping the part of his cock her mouth was unable to reach stroking it slowly up and down in time me her sucks.

"Hinata just keep doing that, just a bit more I'm almost there." Naruto's voice sounds again from above, his voice straining as his grip on her hair tightens. His hips raising off the bed meeting her lips thrust for thrust. "Fuck fuck fuck." Naruto's voice, raspy, has a shot of hot liquid hits the back of Hinata's throat.

Unsure of what to do Hinata pulls her mouth off his cock, it gives way with a slight pop resting against his thigh, as she swallows the salty liquid in her mouth as the woman in the book had done.

"So?" Hinata asks her lover as she stands, the shyness Naruto was accustomed to coming from her making a reappearance in her voice.

"Com here." Naruto beckons for her as he pulls his pants up. "How did I get so damn lucky?" He questions as she tucks her head under his chin and his arms wrap around pulling her close. "Thank you." Naruto kisses the top of her head, scooting backwards, moving down, kissing down her face as he goes.

"Okay, no, this needs to change." Hinata grabs his face lightly between her hands. "It's scratchy and not nearly as much fun to kiss." Moving her fingers across the stubble.

"Oh, you mean this is bothering you." Naruto rubs his cheek against hers. "Or is it more something like this?" His fingers make quick work finding a way under her shirt tickling the soft skin below.

"Naruto, Naruto-kun! Please!" Hinata manages between her laughs.

"What?" He pauses, giving her a large grin. "I thought cuddling was mandatory after something like this, ya know." His grin grew larger knowing full and well what he did.

"Yes, yes." She smiles almost as wide as him. "But, I'd prefer to cuddle my non-prickly boyfriend." Standing, she pulls Naruto with her towards the bathroom. "Stand." Hinata points to the spot in front of his sink.

"Yes ma'am!" Naruto winks at her as Hinata begins to rifle through his bathroom cabinet, finding his shaving lotion and razor. She turns towards him, placing both hands on the counter behind her and pushes herself up onto the counter.

"Hinata, I can do this myself, ya know." He interrupts as she smears the lotion across his face.

"Come on e, let me have my fun." Hinata's soft smile reflecting in her eyes

"As long as you're happy I guess, ya know." Matching her smile

Hinata slowly dragged the razor across his skin, rinsing it in the sink as a knock sounds from the front door.

"Naruto?" The sound of the door coming slightly open and Sakura's voice sound from the front hall.

"Yeah, we're upstairs, come on up." He hollered back. "Just keep going, it's just Sakura."

Her footsteps are heard coming up the stairs.

"Oh…umm sorry." Sakura pauses at the bathroom door at the sight before her. Hinata perched on the counter holding a razor to his cheek, Naruto standing shirtless between her legs.

"What's up Sakura?" Naruto asks, looking away from his girlfriend whose face is turning a slight shade of red due to their proximity, and the way her legs were holding him in place.

"I just came to tell you that Sasuke decided to head out early, he's already spoken with Kakashi-sensei. He'll be at the front gate here soon if you'd like to say goodbye."

One Hour Later

"Keep in touch, and let us know if you need some more help, ya know." Naruto steps forward offering his hand in the sign of peace to his friend.

"Will do." Sasuke meets his hand.

"See ya." Naruto waves over his shoulder, walking back into the village.

"So…ummm…. Sasuke. I guess this is goodbye." Tears start to well in Sakura's eyes. "I'll see you soon I hope." Her head turns, not wanting him to see her cry. "Maybe then you'll be a man and actually talk to me about what happened." Bitterness leaching its way into her words.

"I'm only going to say this once so just stop and listen." Sakura's eyes widen in shock as he turns back towards her.

"I stand by what I said the last time I left. My sins have nothing to do with you. This whole time I've been out there searching my soul, finding my way, atoning for all the wrong that I've done. And even though I've finished, there are still things that need to be done." He pauses, watching the tears form in her green eyes. "Things for the safety of this village and its future, that's all I can do, there's nothing for me to help here…."

"But I need help, I need you Sasuke-kun…" Sakura interrupts, reaching out grasping his hand, for once he doesn't pull away. "The other night was amazing, don't you want that again?" She questions.

"You are the strongest woman I know, Sakura, you don't need me." Giving her a stern look before she can interrupt again. "You don't need me to be by your side to survive, I know you just need to know this." Pulling on her hand Sakura finds herself with her head resting against his chest. "I will always come back to you. No matter it be over the course of months or years you are the one I'll come back to."

"This is so like you Sasuke, think you can feed me some sweet line and leave me. You took my virginity, this time it's going to take more than that." Her eyes go sharp, anger replacing the sadness.

He thinks we can just skirt around the fact that we had sex and leave. Well I'll be damned if that happens! Sakura's inner dialog yells, lighting a fire in her soul.

"Cause all you do is fucking leave, it's all you know how to do!" She slams her fist into his chest as the tears begin to fall again. "You bastard! You promised last time you'd come back, but it was two years Sasuke, two long years! I had other options, I had other men want me!" She screams, turning to leave.

"Hhhmmm." He chuckles, grabbing her wrist pulling her back into him. The look he was giving her struck fear into her heart, she had seen that look before. The look he had before he killed someone on the battlefield, pure anger.

"If I had the option, if this village was safe, if I was a different man. I would stay with you. Actually, make love to you. I would do that every night if I stayed! Give you what you deserve instead of the hurried lust filled fuck I gave you the other night!" It doesn't happen often, but his voice matches her loud tone.

"You think I just had sex with you for fun? You think I'm that sort of man Sakura?!" The grip on her wrist tightens. "You really think after all these years, after all the shit I put you through I would have sex with you just for fun? You're an idiot if you think that Sakura."

"Sasuke…" Sakura lets out a sob as he wraps his one arm around her. "Please just let me go…" Her whole sentence was unheard through her tears.

"No." Lowering his voice, he pulls her further away from the gaits. "I'm sorry the other night wasn't great, being with you in that manner was hard for me. Love doesn't come easy for me alright."

"It was great though, it was everything. To wake up next to you, in your shirt is all I need, please." Her plea this time meant for him to stay.

"Sakura." Sasuke wipes her cheeks taking a step back. "Don't make this harder for me than it already is." Giving her a look she knows too well, the look he gives when he hates talking.

"I just need to hear it, just say it one-time Sasuke and I'll let you go. I said it so many times that night, but you never did. Please I'll wonder everyday about where you are and what you're doing but I won't worry, I won't be sad that you're gone." She looks back up at him with pleading eyes.

"Haruno Sakura." He says with a sigh, the soft grin he only gives to her covering his face. "I love you. We'll finish this conversation when I get back, I promise"

"Goodbye Sasuke-kun I'll miss you." Standing on her tiptoes aiming to kiss his cheek, unexpectedly he turns his head. Their lips meet, his softly parting under hers, gently running her tongue over his as her hands tangle themselves in his hair.

"Damn it Sakura." gently running his hand across her cheek. "I'll be back soon I promise. Get an apartment, what I want to do to you is far too loud for your parents' place." He smirks, falling backwards into the portal she hadn't even realized he had opened.
