Naruto led the girls down the corridor to the room adjacent to the Firing Range. He pressed the button opening the door and ushered them into the Armoury.

This vast room was originally used to store weapons and armour for the cruiser's compliment of three hundred marines. With no need to store that much gear any more, row after row of empty weapon racks and armour lockers filled the room, looking forlorn and abandoned. Sparks looked around, wondering why he would bring her to such an enormous empty room.

"We have no use for an Armoury this size, so I'd like to convert it for you to use as your workshop," Naruto suggested, watching to see the ravenette's reaction.

Sparks looked bewildered for a moment. "This room is absolutely huge!" she said, stunned. "I can have all this area of the ship for myself?"

"You can start small if you like and then expand the workshop whenever you need more space," Naruto suggested. "When we get to the Olympus Shipyard, we can go shopping. Just pick whatever equipment you need, and I'll have it fitted in here for you."

Sparks eyes shone with excitement, and she wrapped him in a big hug. "This is the best present ever!" she exclaimed.

Naruto and Hinata laughed, pleased that the teenager was so happy.

"What are you going to work on first?" Hinata asked her petite friend.

Sparks looked deep in thought for a moment. "Hmm, I've got some ideas. Do you mind if I keep it a secret and surprise you later?" she asked excitedly.

"No, we trust you. Have fun!" Naruto replied, smiling.

Sparks squealed with glee, and did a little dance, making Naruto and Hinata laugh at her antics.

"Ready to have a look at the rest?" Naruto asked the ecstatic young woman.

"Lead on!" the ravenette grinned, walking over to him and Hinata.

Naruto led them out of the armoury and showed her the pharmacy and medical bay. Sparks was fascinated by the state of the art medical equipment and he let her explore a little. Hinata looked a bit twitchy, so Naruto moved up to her side and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Are you ok? You look a little uncomfortable," he asked, concerned.

"Something about this room creeps me out," Hinata replied awkwardly.

Naruto nodded his agreement "I've never felt comfortable around medical facilities either," he admitted.

"It's something else," Hinata said looking distant, "like the room echoes with pain." She shook her head abruptly as if to clear her mind.

"Come on Sparks, lots more to see," Naruto said, worried about the young bluenette woman.

Hinata laid a reassuring hand on his arm. "Don't worry, I'm fine," she said quietly, and smiled up at him warmly.

Still, Naruto ushered out the two girls, and led them on to the gym. Sparks was another non-swimmer, so she was less than enthusiastic about getting too close to the pool.

"I'll teach you both to swim, you'll love it I promise!" Naruto said confidently.

Hinata remembered how enjoyable the Jacuzzi was, once she had overcome her initial fears about the large volume of water. She realised she would no doubt feel the same about the swimming pool eventually.

"Maybe we could start tomorrow?" she asked Naruto bravely.

"Sure, that would be great!" Naruto said, pleased that his young lover was warming up to the idea.

Sparks looked a bit dubious. "Hmm maybe," she said cautiously. Like Hinata, she had grown up on a dusty asteroid, and had never seen such an enormous amount of water before. The pool looked terrifyingly deep to her inexperienced eyes, and the thought of being plunged in there scared her more than a little.

"There's no rush," Naruto said soothingly. "Just let me know when you feel ready."

Naruto let the girls leave first, before following after them. "That's it for Deck Seven, how about we go down to the bottom deck, and I'll show you the Docking Bay and Cargo Bay?" he suggested amiably.

"Let's go, Mr tour guide!" Sparks said, grinning.

They took the elevator down to the lowest level of the Invictus, and Naruto led them through the heavy set of double doors into the Docking Bay. It was a huge area, currently completely unused, except for the anti-grav sled that they had been given at Olympus Shipyard.

"I need to look into acquiring a dropship," Naruto said, thinking out loud as he and the girls walked into the cavernous area. "We might need to go somewhere that's too big for the Invictus to dock."

"I still can't believe you actually own all this yourself," Sparks marvelled.

"Yes, Naruto owns everything on board," Hinata smiled mischievously, as she recalled the conversation she had eavesdropped on earlier through her link with Naruto's mind.

Sparks blushed a little, but couldn't deny that the beautiful bluenette's innuendo laden comment turned her on.

"You're such a vixen," Naruto laughed at Hinata affectionately.

"Come on ladies, I'll show you the Cargo Bay next," he said, guiding them back through one set of robust double doors, and then on to the Cargo Bay through an identical set.

The huge open space yawned open in front of them. The twenty tons of Tyrenium was carefully secured to the deck of the Cargo Bay in four sturdy crates, each one approximately five feet cubed.

"Why did you still buy the Tyrenium if you knew Seb was going to betray you?" Hinata asked Naruto curiously, as she looked at the crates.

"Well if we'd just cancelled the deal, who knows what he would have done. Coming back to the Invictus where Hana could support us with the defence grid seemed like the best tactical choice at the time," Naruto explained.

"Besides, we also picked up all this Tyrenium at a ridiculously cheap price, and as the transaction is legally binding, there's nothing Seb can do about it now," he grinned smugly.

Hinata laughed at Naruto's cunning plan. "So, soon you're going to be even more fabulously wealthy?" she asked in amusement.

"I think I'm going to need as much cash as I can get," Naruto grinned. "The last time we went shopping on Gravitus cost me a pretty penny!"

"Oh wow!" Hinata said, her eyes lighting up. "Of course, another shopping trip for Hana and Sparks would be amazing!" she grinned excitedly.

"We never did get a chance to invite Sakura for dinner either," she said, her eyebrow arched suggestively.

Naruto laughed along with her. Sparks was quiet however, and her attention seemed to be elsewhere.

"Are you ok there Sparks?" Naruto asked, curious as to what was keeping her so absorbed.

"Yeah, sure John," Sparks said, distractedly, staring up at the ceiling.

"What are you looking at Sparks?" Hinata asked inquisitively.

"My new workshop is overhead isn't it?" the petite ravenette asked.

Naruto paused for a moment, thinking about the layout of the deck above them. "Yes, it's directly above that area there," he said, gesturing towards the side of the cargo bay.

"I was thinking maybe if we put in a loading lift, I could bring any big projects down from the workshop into here," Sparks said tentatively.

"Sure," Naruto said, nodding appreciatively. "That's a great idea. It will make equipping the workshop much easier too. I'll put in the request for the modification to the Cargo bay as soon as we reach Olympus."

Sparks grinned up at him excitedly. "You're the best, thank you!"

Hinata came up behind her small friend and encircled her in her arms. "She's just the cutest isn't she?" the beautiful bluenette said affectionately. She let one of her arms slide lower, and gently stroked the ravenette's slim tummy before saying eagerly, "Naruto, she needs filling up again."

Sparks stared up at Naruto with a hungry look in her eyes, and he felt himself get very hard, very quickly. He turned to face the doorway and gestured with his hand for the girls to proceed. He waited for them to go through and then followed them to the elevator.

They went up to the second deck, the sexual tension thick in the air. Sparks was getting very turned on as they walked casually back to Naruto and Hinata's room, no-one saying anything, but everyone thinking the same thing. Hinata guided Sparks to the bed, and then helped her undress, leaving the pale ravenette to climb on to the bed and wait expectantly.

Naruto stood by and let Hinata undress him as he looked over his newest conquest. He was pleased to see that Sparks was already starting to look healthier. She had a bit of a pinkish tinge to her previously ghostly pale skin, and while she hadn't been as painfully skinny as Hinata had originally been, she still looked much healthier now and not quite so thin. He stepped out of his trousers as Hinata finished undressing him, and he moved over to the bed, eager to join the willing teenager waiting for him.

Naruto and Sparks lay together and began kissing, as HInata removed her clothes and joined them on the bed. The beautiful bluenette cuddled up behind Sparks and ran her hand over her friend's slim tummy from behind. She couldn't wait to see her oldest friend swallowing down another big load from Naruto and the thought of the pale ravenette with her stomach stuffed full was turning her on immensely.

Hinata leaned over and waited for her lover and friend to take a break from their kissing, before leaning in to kiss Sparks herself. Sparks' eyes widened with surprise for a moment, before they became hooded with lust, and she began to kiss Hinata back animatedly. Hinata slid her tongue between her friend's lips tentatively, not wanting to push the petite ravenette too far, but Sparks moaned into her mouth and then encircled the luscious bluenette girl's tongue with her lips and began to suck on it gently. The girls stared into each other's eyes as Sparks licked the tip of Hinata's tongue suggestively.

"You want to suck on something bigger, don't you baby?" Hinata crooned to the petite ravenette.

Sparks nodded, feeling incredibly turned on.

"Naruto, why don't you see if you can help her out?" Hinata purred.

Naruto had been watching the teenagers kiss each other for the first time, and found it extremely arousing. Seeing the ravenette sucking insistently on Hinata's tongue, had his already hard cock feeling like it was made out of steel. When Hinata invited him to join them, he couldn't wait to replace the bluenette's tongue with his hefty prick, and he knelt by Sparks' side presenting her with his swollen head.

The ravenette opened her mouth invitingly, her tongue licking both her lips reflexively to make sure they would slide smoothly down his length. Naruto felt her soft wet mouth move forward, slowly enveloping his mushroom head, and he was amazed that she could open up to take him so comfortably. She suckled on his cock, not going any deeper, and just keeping his throbbing helm in her mouth. He could feel her tongue lapping away at the slit at the end of his prick, and his quad helpfully provided the eager young girl with a tasty appetiser. He watched her eyes grow dazed, and her eyelids slowly close, as her body was affected by his pheromones. She moved on autopilot, kneeling submissively in front of him, and begin taking him deeper.

Hinata watched the action unfold before her, and found it very exciting when Sparks knelt in front of Naruto and began to service him. When she saw the teen's eyes began to grow dazed, she moved behind her friend and then slipped underneath her, spreading her pale legs slightly to give Hinata more room to work. She nuzzled up against her friend's pussy, and began to explore her body with her mouth.

Sparks felt a familiar drowsy haze start to overcome her as she eagerly swallowed Naruto's deliciously sweet pre-cum. This time she wavered on the edge of consciousness, fighting the urge to stay in control. She felt something soft and wet tenderly lapping away at her pussy, and the exciting new sensation roused her from the effects of Naruto's potent pheromones. She suddenly became sharply aware that her mouth and throat were stretched wide open to accommodate Naruto's massive cock. Her lips were sucking mindlessly at his root, and she found her nose brushing against his stomach. She fought down the instant rising tide of panic at the thought of choking, finding that she was actually quite comfortable, and not in any danger of suffocating.

She pushed at Naruto's hips gently, urging him to pull out, and he carefully withdrew every long inch of his shaft from her throat. She leaned back, and was face to face with the throbbing monster that had been buried down her gullet. It throbbed, angry to no longer be wrapped in tight teenager, so she kissed the tip in apology.

"Hello," Naruto said, looking down with a concerned look on his face. "Are you ok?"

Sparks nodded shyly and smiled back up at him. "It was just a bit of a surprise to come around and find myself impaled on this monster," the ravenette said, kissing his annoyed cock to show there were no hard feelings.

"Oh!" the petite teenager gasped out, as Hinata reminded her of her presence underneath her as she began to lap at her clit with her silky-soft wet tongue.

Sparks looked down between her thighs, and saw the exquisitely beautiful teen looking up at her with smiling eyes, as she continued her tender ministrations. Hinata was too good at what she was doing for Sparks to have any reservations about the Sapphic pleasure she was receiving. She squirmed over her friend's face, thrusting her hips gently as her pussy sought Hinata's expert tongue. She felt her friend's hands move up to cup her tight little buttocks as though pulling her in closer and then Hinata really went to work.

Sparks groaned as her body rode waves of pleasure she had never experienced before. She leaned forward hungrily, and took Naruto's bulbous head in her mouth, eager to feel him widening her throat once again. She pulled him towards her insistently as she pushed forward, and soon she was nuzzling in his groin, her nose brushing his stomach and her chin touching the tops of his balls.

She looked down at the taut sack beneath her, the quad full up again and ready to be emptied. She began to swallow eagerly, the constricting grasp of her throat massaging him skilfully and conveying her need. She felt Naruto hold her head gently in his hands, and then he began to thrust back and forth slightly, using the tight grip of her body to stroke his length. She sensed the change in him and realised that he was just focused on building towards his climax now, that he was enjoying her greatly, and would soon reward her for her efforts.

"Mmph!" Sparks groaned around him as she came hard.

Hinata's relentless tongue combined with the exciting feelings of submission had driven Sparks wild and she writhed as she experienced the most intense climax of her young life. She moaned helplessly around Naruto's cock, buried as it was deep inside her throat.

Naruto shouted out his release, as he pulled the ravenette forward so that her lips were wrapped snugly around the base of his shaft. Sparks could feel each burst of cum as it blasted down his cock, her body so tightly wrapped around him that she could sense each trembling jerk of his shaft. She began to feel contentedly full as his blasts of cum splashed into the pit of her stomach, and she moaned as he pumped more and more down her throat.

She was kneeling beneath her man and providing a welcoming home for his spunk. That thought made her eyes roll back as she came hard again, aided helpfully by Hinata's tireless tongue on her pussy. The redhead could feel her young tummy stretching out to accommodate all of Naruto's cum, and it felt amazing to experience it fully conscious for the first time. There was no pain, just a feeling of incredible fullness.

Eventually Naruto's quad was drained dry and Sparks regretfully felt him begin to pull back from her throat and out of her mouth. She kissed his cock farewell as it left her mouth, knowing he would be back again in a few more hours to keep her topped up. The ravenette tried to look down at her blonde friend, but her sperm packed belly was too big and blocked her view.

Naruto collapsed on the bed and Sparks moved her pussy gingerly away from Hinata's face and carefully manoeuvred her massively engorged body so that she could lie next to her man. "Her man" she thought to herself, yes, she really did feel like she belonged with him now.

Hinata snuggled in behind her and began to stroke Sparks' spunk swollen belly with a gentle, protective hand.

"You did really well," the beautiful bluenette whispered encouragingly in her ear. "You must have turned him on a lot, he really filled you up!" she added happily.

"Thank you for letting me share him," Sparks said sincerely, looking up at her friend.

"You're welcum," Hinata replied, smiling at her mischievously.

Naruto turned to look at them both and smiled affectionately. "Thanks Sparks, you were amazing," he said as he sighed contentedly, reaching down to join Hinata's hand in caressing the ravenette's heavily rounded tummy.

"I loved it," Sparks replied honestly, as she lay between Hinata and Naruto, enjoying their tender touch. She felt safe and loved for what seemed like the first time in her life, and her heart welled up in gratitude to Hinata for including her in this amazing life. The three of them dozed together for a while, just relishing their close physical proximity to each other.

Eventually Naruto stretched and got up to use the bathroom. When he returned, he saw that Sparks was asleep, and Hinata was curled up protectively around her.

"I think I'll go and see Hana, see how she's doing," Naruto said to Hinata.

The beautiful bluenette looked up at him and nodded happily. "I'll stay here and take care of Sparks. When her tummy has gone down a bit, we'll meet you up on the command deck and we can continue the tour of the ship."

Naruto thought it was a great plan and he leaned over to kiss Hinata lovingly before he left. She rubbed his nose with an Eskimo kiss when he pulled back from her lips, and smiled up at him affectionately. He waved goodbye to her, and headed down the corridor to take the elevator.

The door swished quietly open when he reached the command deck, and he strode out onto the bridge. Hana was sitting at her tactical station, focused intently on a holographic representation of the sector they were travelling through, that floated an inch or so above her console.

"Hey Hana, everything ok up here?" he asked the young woman, as he walked down to meet her at her station.

"Hey Naruto! It's good to see you," she said, smiling up at him when he arrived at her side.

Naruto leaned down to kiss her and she returned it ardently. "There, that's a better hello," he said as he finally pulled away, leaving Hana to sigh happily.

"So Lieutenant, what are you occupying yourself with at the moment?" he asked her playfully.

"Well, Commander..." The gorgeous Latina replied, grinning up at him. "I'm currently studying the long range scans."

"Have you found anything interesting so far?" Naruto asked, genuinely curious.

"Yes, actually I have," Hana replied, hitting a few buttons on her console. The sector map suddenly reappeared in a much larger hologram in the centre of the bridge.

"I studied these systems on our way to Karron from Olympus, and I noticed we were picking up a lot of wrecks on the long range scans," she explained animatedly. "I studied the incident reports for each of those wrecks and most of them occurred between Port Heracles and Karron, and were logged as pirate attacks."

"Sounds like pirates must have been operating there for a while," Naruto said, looking thoughtful.

"The Corvette Griffon had been sent out to patrol the area and see if we could find the source of the attacks, but we only investigated a couple of wrecks before we were ambushed..." Hana paused a moment, looking sombre. "You know what happened next," she added sadly, looking up at him.

"Yes, we rescued you. One of the best things I've done in my life," Naruto said sincerely.

Hana rose from her chair, and Naruto enfolded her in his arms protectively. They stood for a long while and he held her reassuringly as she leaned against him, stroking her lustrous brown hair comfortingly.

"I'm sorry," the lovely brunette apologised, as she wiped a few rogue tears from her eyes, feeling embarrassed.

"You have nothing to apologise for, honey. Let's talk about something less painful instead," he suggested caringly.

"No, I'm ok," Hana insisted. "Besides, this is important. I think I might have found where the pirate attacks are coming from."

Naruto released her from his embrace, and the beautiful Latina walked back to her console and hit a few more buttons. "If you look here, here, and here," she said, circling the areas that had been attacked on her map in a bright green, "the pirates seem to be hitting three main shipping lanes."

"I've been studying the dates and times of each attack, and compared the ships' logs from the victims and it looks like the pirates are operating several fleets, and are using this system as a base," Hana said, and then pressed a couple more buttons so that the system map moved to focus on a star called Chendar.

"This is excellent work Lieutenant!" Naruto said genuinely impressed, as he fell naturally back into military parlance with the girl.

"Thank you, Sir!" Hana said, proud to have pleased her commanding officer.

Naruto studied the system map closely, noting that there were two Gas giants, several smaller planetoids, and an asteroid belt orbiting Chendar. He noticed amongst the installations listed in the system, that one of the Gas giants was host to an abandoned Gas mining facility. This wasn't uncommon, as mining bases were commonly stripped and deserted when the resources they were mining were fully tapped out.

"If I was a pirate, that abandoned facility would make a hell of a good base," Naruto mused.

Hana looked up at him with newfound respect. "Very impressive Commander! I came to the same conclusion, but it's taken me a few days to put it all together."

"Perhaps I missed my vocation as a pirate?" he asked, as he smiled at her graciously.

"Or found it as a Pirate hunter," she replied firmly.

Naruto nodded his agreement. This had been a surprising conversation in a few different ways, but mainly he was concerned that Hana seemed to be obsessed with the pirate attacks that had had such a dramatic impact on her life. It was perfectly understandable for her to react this way, but she seemed so happy and content when she was with him over the last few weeks, that he had hoped she had managed to put it all behind her. Clearly she had not, but perhaps some payback might help her, he wondered.

"I think it might be time to stamp out these cockroaches once and for all. What do you say Lieutenant? Time for some summary justice?" he asked her grimly.

"Yes Commander..." Hana said. "Well past time."

They stood for a moment studying the map, and thinking about all the implications finding this base might have.

The elevator swished open quietly and as if on cue, Hinata and Sparks entered the bridge.

"Wow! You two look very heroic!" Hinata grinned playfully. "I feel like there should be dramatic music playing in the background. What did we miss?"

"Hana found the pirate base. I think we should take a little detour and see if we can do something about it," he said ominously.

"I'll lay in a new course immediately!" Hinata stated, as she bounded up the illuminated steps to the Executive Officer's chair. Her hands glided over her console and she began to adjust their current course to divert towards the Chendar System.

"We'll be there in just over three days, Naruto," she stated, as the hologram in the centre of the bridge showed her new course plotted in green with an ETA of three days five hours.

"Nice work, Hinata," Naruto said simply, before turning back to Hana.

"I promised Sparks I'd finish her tour of the ship, do you want to come along too?" he asked, concerned about leaving the troubled Latina for too much time on her own.

"No, I'm ok here, I want to prepare for our assault," Hana said, with a steely look of determination in her eyes.

Naruto was about to try to persuade her to come with them, but Hinata interjected. "You two go ahead, I want to stay and discuss our tactics with Hana anyway," she said, waving them away. Being permanently tuned into Naruto's mind meant that Hinata had overheard his thoughts, and was aware of his concerns for their troubled young lover.

Picking up the look the beautiful bluenette gave him, Naruto felt reassured, as he knew Hinata would take excellent care of Hana.

"Ready to go for another wander, Sparks?" he asked the ravenette, who sensed that something else was going on, but wasn't sure what.

She nodded agreeably and followed him into the elevator and the two of them headed downwards. Naruto could see that Sparks was dying to ask about the conversation on the bridge, so he filled her in on how they had rescued Hana and the trauma that she had experienced at the hands of the pirates.

Sparks nodded her head shrewdly. "This whole assault on the pirates is purely for her benefit isn't it?" she asked Naruto pointedly.

"Yes," he replied simply. "I don't like pirates and something needs to be done about them, but with everything Hana has put together, we could just report back to Terran Federation Command. They would send out a fleet to mop up the whole pirate operation."

"You think she needs the closure that a personal intervention will bring though, right?" Sparks persisted.

"Yes, I'm hoping it will help Hana put this behind her," Naruto said, narrowing his eyes as he glanced over at Sparks. "You are a smart one, aren't you?"

The ravenette smiled up at him, blushing slightly.

"It could be dangerous," Naruto warned her. "The Invictus is bound to be much more powerful than any individual ship they have, but they have multiple fleets, and we could end up being heavily outnumbered."

He looked at her closely. "If you're worried about safety, we don't have to commit to this attack."

Sparks shook her head vehemently. "No, I'm all for it. I've dealt with enough scum to know that some people just don't deserve to live."

She paused and studied his face closely, and said, "You're a good man Naruto. You really care about those girls, don't you?"

"I love them both very much," he answered honestly, "and I'm getting quite fond of you too!" he said, whisking her up in a hug.

Sparks laughed happily and wrapped her arms around him. "Look at me, I'm acting like some giddy schoolgirl!" she said, grinning in disbelief at him.

"A very naughty schoolgirl" Naruto smiled at her, gently patting her still rounded tummy.

Sparks laughed aloud at that, her unscarred cheek blushing prettily.

"Come on," Naruto said. "If we keep talking like this, I'll never be able to show you the rest of the ship!"

"Yes, going on our past experiences, you'd probably have to roll me back to our quarters," Sparks grinned as Naruto snorted with laughter.

They eventually managed to keep a lid on the banter enough so that he could continue their tour of the Invictus. He showed her around the dozens of rooms that housed all the vital machinery that kept the ship running; Life support, environmental systems, sensors, fuel control, he found all of them fairly dull, but for Sparks these were the highlight of the tour so far. She was fascinated by the automation of all the ship's systems, and kept asking him detailed technical questions that were quite beyond him.

In the end he promised Sparks the Holo-reader that Vice Admiral Jiraiya had given them back at Olympus Shipyard. It would helpfully provide detailed documentation on the ship's functions, so it would be invaluable to her in learning about the Invictus. Sparks was literally jumping up and down with excitement at the thought of getting her hands on the Holo-reader.

The teenager was impressed by the ship's magazine, and she seemed fascinated by the concept of the Mass Drivers, and the two hundred metre long magnetic rails that accelerated the enormous shells to Hyper-warp. Explaining how the weapons worked got Naruto and Sparks talking about ways they could upgrade the main guns. She suggested two possible options, improving the power of the magnetic rails, and improving the explosive yield on the shells. It was an interesting conversation, and got Naruto thinking about Alien species that might be able to assist with either.

Finally they entered the Engine Room and FTL Drive Room. Sparks wandered around these in awe, enraptured first by the enormous energy harnessed in the ship's power core and then by the bewildering sophistication of the FTL drive system. Naruto watched her as the petite ravenette studied the controls for the power core intently. He could see that she was desperate to touch and investigate, but was managing to hold her curiosity in check through iron will power.

Eventually he managed to lure her away with promises of the Holo-reader and that she could spend all her free time studying it and any of the ships systems she liked. They headed back to the ship's elevator and hit the button to go up to the command deck.

"Thanks for the tour Naruto, that was amazing!" Sparks said, sighing happily.

"This is your home now, I want you to feel settled here," Naruto replied earnestly, which prompted the petite ravenette to reward him with a big hug.

The elevator chimed and the door swished open quietly, leading out onto the bridge.

Hinata spun the XO chair around to face them. "You two look like you've had fun," she said, smiling happily.

Sparks grinned back at her. "I had the best time! The Invictus is incredible!" she gushed enthusiastically.

"Do you have the holo-reader Hinata?" John asked. "Sparks wanted it to learn more about the ship"

Hinata turned and picked up the Holo-reader from the tucked away locker by her console. She walked down the illuminated steps like a graceful model descending from a catwalk.

"Here you go Sparks," she said, and smiled as Sparks took it out of her hands and held the Holo-reader as though it were a priceless artefact.

"I'll activate the Engineering Station for you," The beautiful bluenette said as she walked back up to the XO's chair.

She sat down and then her hands danced over the console as she activated the Station for the Chief Engineer. The Engineering Station on the left hand side of the room, opposite Tactical, sprung into life. Like before, the panels on the consoles activated one at a time, gradually illuminating the station fully.

Naruto climbed the command podium and took his seat in the Commander's chair. He watched with an amused smile as Sparks walked over and tentatively sat at her new place on the bridge.

Sparks looked around wide-eyed at the panels of controls, feeling growing excitement at being able to manipulate and control something as awesomely powerful as the Invictus. Setting the Holo reader down on the console, she quickly scanned through the instructions regarding the Engineering station and clicked a number of buttons on one of the panels. A series of holograms materialised around her, showing the energy distribution from the power core, the ship's shield status and finally damage control, which depicted the Invictus all shaded in green. She spun her chair to look up at the command podium and saw that Hana, Hinata and Naruto were all watching her.

"Engineering online," she said, grinning at them excitedly.

"Glad to have you aboard Chief," Naruto grinned back at her.

Hinata and Hana cheered for the young woman, enjoying seeing her having so much fun.

"Come on ladies, let's go have dinner and celebrate," Naruto said to the girls.

Hinata and Hana stood eagerly to join him, but Sparks rose reluctantly, looking back longingly at the Holo-reader as she walked up to join up with them.

"Come on, it'll still be there later," Naruto said as he laughed at her hesitation.

The group got in the elevator and went down to the next level. The elevator chimed and the door swished open. Naruto began to move right to show Sparks the officer's quarters, but they were stopped by Hinata who placed her hands lightly on each of their chests, halting them in their tracks.

"Hana and I will go and make dinner. You two have other business to attend too first," she said smiling wickedly.

Naruto glanced over at Sparks, expecting her to be blushing with embarrassment, but she was biting her lower lip excitedly. The ravenette glanced his way as well and the look she shared with him had him rock hard in no time.

"We'll join you later," He said to Hinata and Hana, turning to walk briskly towards his quarters, Sparks practically skipping along at his side.

The stunningly beautiful bluenette and brunette shared a look themselves, and then smiled coyly at each other.

"Dinner can wait a little while," Hinata said to the Latina seductively, sashaying towards the playroom.

"I'm hungry for something else anyway," Hana purred in return, her eyes watching the bluenette's luscious figure before she gracefully followed in her footsteps.

Meanwhile, Naruto led the way into his bedroom and the two of them stripped off their clothes. Sparks kissed him eagerly and then she jumped up and wrapped her legs around him as he moved to cup her ass cheeks in his hands and he enjoyed their round, firm and compact feel. He moved over to the bed and sat on the edge with Sparks astride him, still enjoying the feel of her bottom as he massaged her buttocks with his hands.

Sparks looked down at him, a lusty fire burning in her eyes. "Hinata said you like to fuck tight little teenagers in the ass," she said, with heat in her voice.

Naruto separated her cheeks with his strong fingers, causing her to gasp.

"I'll take that as a yes," she hissed. "Do you want to fuck me in the ass?" she asked him accusingly.

"I'd push my way into you, right up to my balls and then pound you hard until you begged for mercy," Naruto promised, as he moved the teen up and down his groin, her pussy sliding wetly along his thick throbbing shaft.

"I've never taken a man there before. You'd do that to a poor little virgin?" she said feigning distress.

"Yes, but only because you'd love it," Naruto grunted.

Sparks moaned and looked down at him, nodding slowly and deliberately. Naruto took one of his hands from her buttocks and brought it up to her mouth, where she began to suck on one of his fingers suggestively.

"You know where I'm going to put this, don't you?" he said sternly, as he looked into her eyes.

Sparks looked back at him, her eyes heavy lidded as she sucked lustily on his finger and nodded imperceptibly. When his finger was nice and slick, he moved it down between her buttocks and began to gently circle her rosebud, getting her slippery and pliant. She gasped when he began to apply pressure, and then groaned when the tip of his finger worked its way into the tight little channel.

Naruto waited a little while and let her get used to the intrusion, while he used his other hand's firm grip on her waist, to rock her back and forth on his cock. Her anus felt hot and incredibly tight as he pushed inside her further as soon as he felt her relax. Sparks groaned as her clit was pressed up against the hot length of his cock, and Naruto used his strong hold on her to slide her body along his shaft, sending tremors through her excited teenage body.

"I want you to cum for me," he ordered her. "The first time with something in your ass," he continued, as he pushed his thick finger in past the second knuckle. He then concentrated on rubbing her clit against him, by moving her hips up and down.

"Unh!" the ravenette groaned as her rear passage clamped down on his finger in a vice like grip and she came hard for him.

"That's a good girl," he complimented her. "You follow my orders well."

Sparks could only lean against him and moan into his shoulder, her body unprepared for the intense climax that had washed over her.

"You're much too tight to take me at the moment though," Naruto lamented "We need to feed you up, so that I can fit inside you."

"Yes, that's important," Sparks gasped wholeheartedly, as she writhed in his lap.

Naruto eased his finger out from her body and then holding her around her waist, he lifted her up so that she was standing by the side of the bed, between his parted legs.

"On your knees and get to work," he commanded.

Sparks gasped excitedly and sank to her knees, running her nails along his thighs as she did so. She tilted forward and kissed the end of his angry throbbing cock. She parted her lips and then licked at his head, beckoning him forward into her hot, wet mouth.

Naruto held his shaft in his right hand keeping his cock nice and steady as it jerked involuntarily. He cupped the back of Sparks' head with his left hand and then pulled her forward, sliding her down his length until her lips touched his fingers where he had his cock gripped in his fist. He could feel her mouth move as she tried to kiss his hand, but her lips were stretched tight around his girth so they were only able to brush against him. He rewarded her by removing his hand and then pulling her all the way down her length so that her face was nestled in his groin.

Sparks moaned appreciatively around the burgeoning prick forcing her mouth and throat wide open. The vibrations felt amazing around Naruto's cock, and when she started to swallow as well, it felt like her muscles were trying to milk his cock for him. He held her head in place with both hands, and just rocked back and forth with small motions of his hips, as he used her body to stroke his shaft.

Sparks gasped in excitement as she felt Naruto's strong hands hold her head in place. She felt so submissive kneeling in front of him like this and she revelled in him using her mouth to bring himself to climax.

"I'm just his cum bucket!" she thought to herself, her thighs rubbing together as she writhed helplessly under his control.

"I can't do anything except kneel before him, and wait until he unloads in my belly," she groaned as she turned herself on even more just thinking about it.

Finally Naruto's insistent thrusting began to grow more erratic as his breathing became laboured.

"Aahhh!" he bellowed, as he pushed himself as far as he could go inside the ravenette and then began to cum powerfully straight down her throat, and into her waiting tummy.

Sparks felt the wonderfully rich cum shoot down her throat, and splash into her empty stomach. The first couple of thick spurts were enough to fill her slim tummy, and then her waistline was forced to expand to make room for all the following jets of spunk. She drank him down hungrily, eager to suck down every last drop, as Naruto's quad fed her their freshly created treat.

Naruto pulled back until just his head was in her mouth, and with a trembling twitch, Naruto's four balls gave up the last of their cum. Sparks swallowed it down, relishing the sweet taste of the final morsel, as it tingled on her tastebuds. His deflating cock slipped from her mouth and Sparks leaned down to kiss his numbly satiated balls tenderly, as if to say thanks. He held out his hand to help her to her feet and the ravenette rose unsteadily to her feet, unbalanced by the turgid weight of her midsection. He put both hands on either side of her hugely engorged abdomen, holding her protectively as he gently kissed her tightly stretched young skin.

Sparks ran her hands gently through Naruto's hair as he cupped her sperm packed abdomen with his hands, and kissed it tenderly. The caring gesture strongly reminded her of a man proudly kissing the belly of an expectant woman, and she suddenly felt a rush of broodiness.

"Fuck! where did that come from?" She thought to herself in shock.

Sparks had never even thought about having children before, and now the idea felt powerfully arousing. She climbed on to the bed with Naruto, feeling surprised by the unexpected rush of emotions but as she lay on her side and he encircled her teenage body possessively in his strong arms, she snuggled into his comforting embrace and just relished the feelings.

They rested for about thirty minutes and then Naruto's rumbling stomach awoke them from their comfortable doze. Sparks rolled in his arms and looked up at him happily.

"That was extremely hot," Naruto said, smiling down at her. "I wasn't too dominant with you?" he asked with concern in his voice.

"It was very exciting," Sparks answered honestly. "I never considered I'd enjoy being submissive, but it turns me on very much."

They smiled at each other, feeling a bit bashful all of a sudden, and kissed gently. The tender moment was interrupted by the angry growls from Naruto's stomach.

"Let's go and find the other girls, I'm starving!" Naruto admitted.

"Unsurprisingly I don't feel hungry at all," Sparks said, looking wryly at her enormously rounded stomach.

"Well you can just dazzle us with your wit while we eat then," Naruto said, getting up and offering her his hand.

Sparks nodded happily and they got up and dressed. The teenager was about to put on her close fitting top, but one look at her rotund waist stopped her.

"Wait there a second," Naruto said to her with a laugh, and went into the walk-in-wardrobe. He came out moments later, and threw her a white shirt, as he said, "Try that on for size."

The shirt was way too big for her, sized as it was for his 6'2" frame, but Sparks found the idea of wearing his shirt strangely exciting. She put on the shirt, rolling back the sleeves and buttoned up the front over her distended tummy. It actually fit reasonably well all things being considered.

"Very nice," Naruto said with a smile, and he ran his hand over her swollen midrift appreciatively.

They walked hand-in-hand out of his room and down the corridor, pausing at the sounds of laboured panting coming from the Officer's room they had previously renamed the playroom. They looked into the room and saw Hinata and Hana breathing heavily, sweat glistening over their spectacular bodies as they recovered from their exertions. The stunningly beautiful young women were curled up with each other comfortably as they recovered their breath.

Naruto and Sparks watched them for a few moments, appreciating the flawless beauty of the teenage flesh on display. Hinata seemed to sense they had company and greeted them with a tired wave of her slender hand.

"You two rest a while, I'll go make dinner," Naruto said, smiling at the girls affectionately.

"Sparks, do you want to hang out with them, or keep me company?" he asked the petite ravenette at his side. She squeezed his hand gently in response and smiled up at him.

"Let's go," he said, glad that she wanted to come along.

They walked to the end of the corridor and with the touch of a wall mounted button, Naruto opened the double doors that led into the Officers' lounge. He led Sparks past all the comfy chairs and sofas and then onwards around the bar as he headed to the kitchen at the other side of the long dining table.

Sparks stopped a moment to look out the lengthy windows on each side of the lounge, and marvelled at the incredible views out from the ship. She had grown up in the underbelly of a hollowed out asteroid, with no outside views available to people living in the slums. The vast panoramic blackness filled with the twinkling lights of distant stars was breathtaking and she marvelled at the simple natural beauty of the universe.

The delightful aroma of cooking food drifted out to her nose and she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be keeping Naruto company. She went into the kitchen feeling guilty and was surprised to see him expertly slicing and dicing vegetables before adding them to the simmering pan in front of him.

"Ever had paella before?" He asked the petite ravenette.

Sparks shook her head, as she admitted, "I mostly grew up on protein bars, and it was best not to ask too many questions about any kind of stews I could barter for."

"Well hopefully you'll enjoy trying this," he said, as he added some spices to the meat, rice and vegetables sizzling away merrily in front of him.

"When did you learn to cook?" Sparks asked him curiously.

"My grandparents owned a restaurant, and my grandmother was a phenomenal chef," Naruto explained. "I grew up with them and spent a lot of my formative years helping out in her kitchen."

"That sounds amazing," Sparks said wistfully. "I never knew my parents, and I grew up in an orphanage and then with the Diablos."

"What happened to your parents? If you don't mind me asking?" Naruto asked gently.

"I was abandoned. There was no record of either of them," the pale teen told him bleakly. "I don't even know my real name," she said, suddenly looking sad, small and alone.

Naruto walked over to her, and wrapped the young girl up in a protective embrace. Sparks shuddered in his arms, crying quietly, as she felt the feelings of loss and abandonment that she had kept tightly suppressed for years.

"We're your family now," Naruto whispered gently, stroking her hair softly as she wept.

Sparks looked up at him, her eyes bloodshot from crying, and her vulnerability clearly showing on her face. "Please don't ever make me leave," she pleaded. "I don't think I could take it, not after experiencing all this with you and the girls."

"You're not going anywhere," Naruto said, smiling at her reassuringly.

Sparks rested her head on his chest, and let out a long, deep sigh. She felt so happy being held by this man and surrounded by the delightful smells of the kitchen.

"I better let you go, or the dinner will get burned," she said, releasing her tight hold around his chest regretfully.

Naruto cupped the side of her face as he looked at her affectionately and then returned to tending to the happily sizzling pan.

"That was good timing," he said, as he heard the faint sound of Hinata and Hana chatting from the dining area back in the lounge.

Naruto handed four plates and cutlery to Sparks and he carefully held the sizzling pan in his hand as he pushed open the kitchen door and brought out the food to serve up. Naruto pushed a button on the side of the table and a section in the middle opened out and raised up for him to place the pan on. Sparks placed the plates and cutlery at their settings and then went to the bar to bring back a bottle of wine. Naruto walked around the table to meet the other girls.

"Have fun?" he asked, his eyes twinkling mischievously.

Hana and Hinata stole lusty glances at one another, before nodding animatedly.

"You've both been very naughty," Naruto admonished them both.

"We have?" Hana asked, puzzled.

"Oh yes," he replied. "I want you to both lean against the table, and bend over for me."

Hinata grinned eagerly and bent over, her back arched, her pert round posterior presented for him proudly. Hana glanced at the ravishing bluenette and assumed the same position.

"Whack!" The sound of the stinging slap on Hinata's taut asscheek reverberated around the room, causing her to gasp excitedly.

Naruto walked up behind Hana, who watched him over her shoulder and looked into her big brown eyes which were widened with shock.

"Are you ready for the same?" he asked her, interested to see how she would respond.

The gorgeous Latina bit her lip apprehensively, and her eyes flashed with excitement as she nodded her agreement.

"Whack!" His firm hand spanked her perfectly round young buttock, causing the pliant flesh to tremble with the aftershock of the impact.

Sparks was holding her breath as she watched the scene unfold before her. She felt herself getting very aroused as Naruto chastised his girls.

"What did they do?" Sparks gasped out.

"They had fun on their own in the playroom. They should have joined us instead, so I could see them together," he explained patiently.

"I'm sorry Naruto," Hinata told him, and sashayed up to him and tenderly kissed his cheek.

"It won't happen again," Hana said, standing at his side and gently kissed his other cheek.

"I know, you're good girls," he said, carefully stroking their smarting bottoms reassuringly.

They both grinned up at him loving this new playful side of his character.

"Now let's eat," he said graciously. "I think we've all worked up an appetite!"

The four of them gathered around the table and sat together as Naruto dished out the Paella. The girls tucked in, eager to try the delicious smelling food and they all thanked him appreciatively as they savoured the contrast between the chicken, seafood and bacon. Trying this dish was a first for both Hinata and Sparks and they marvelled at how food could taste at the hands of a skilled chef. The wine flowed freely and the conversation followed, as they talked together happily.

Naruto watched the three girls as they chattered animatedly, looking relaxed and happy. He could see that Hana and Hinata had welcomed Sparks wholeheartedly into their little group and he was pleased to see them all getting along so well. His life had taken a few bizarre twists and turns over the last couple of months and he marvelled at the situation he found himself in now. He felt closer to each of the girls sitting in front of him, than any other person in the galaxy, and he thought back on his conversation with Sparks earlier in the kitchen.

"We're your family now," he had said, and he really thought of them all that way. He suddenly realised that the same sentence applied to him equally as well.

Admittedly it was a slightly unusual family, with him as patriarch and the three girls his enthusiastic lovers, but they all cared for each other, and that's what really mattered. He knew he would do everything in his power to protect these young women and keep them safe. They had all been through traumatic pasts, but if he had anything to say about it, he would make sure that they would never have to experience such pain ever again.

He sighed contentedly and focused on the teenagers again, trying to catch up with the current topic of conversation. Hana and Sparks were engrossed in a lengthy dialogue about the ship's weaponry, but Hinata was unusually quiet. Naruto focused on her and saw that the stunningly beautiful young bluenette was looking at him with big eyes that were welling up with tears. He got up and held out his hand for her to join him and they went to sit on a comfortable sofa overlooking the vista of space.

"Thank you, Naruto, your thoughts were beautiful," she whispered quietly in his ear.

"I overheard what you said to Sparks earlier as well, and it felt like the same words applied to me too," she said, her voice catching.

"Of course they do honey," he whispered back to her. "I consider us all a family, but I feel so closely bonded to you, I truly feel like I've discovered my soulmate."

Hinata sighed happily, and the two kissed with soul searing passion as he held the exquisite young woman in his arms. They lost track of time, until they eventually became aware of Hana and Sparks cuddled up on the adjacent sofa, watching them quietly.

"You two look amazing together," Sparks said wistfully.

"So much in love," Hana said affectionately, a big smile on her face.

"There's room for two more!" Hinata grinned at the girls, and the brunette and ravenette rose to join them.
