On a side note, I'm looking for female input specifically on this chapter and others - not just the lemon, or even the lemon at all if you don't wish to say anything about it - because, as you may have noticed, I write a lot of things from female perspectives. Now, I like to think that I have a decent idea as to what goes on in a woman's mind (I'm sure most women would say that's bullshit however) but, the fact remains that I am a guy. One who enjoys love on both sides of the track granted, but still.. Very much a guy. So I want to know… am I doin' alright? I strive to make everything I write better every time I sit down at the keys, so I would really like to know. As an incentive, I may just tell you what the song was, heh.
Kage
of the Graves:
Confirmation
before Consummation.
----------------------------------
Kyruto was vaguely aware of the uncomfortable pressure in his neck throughout the entire transportation of his body. Although he could still here, and even see a little. Nothing seemed to be making much sense. He could tell that they were not harming Ino, in fact they were only arguing with her as they walked, which suggested that these were forces of Konoha. He could tell that they numbered five - a standard ANBU squad, plus two. Though it galled him to no end that he had been snuck up on, he was trying to remain calm despite his situation. He had to figure out who the other two were, because should the need arise to break free, he would like to know the strengths he was faced with. One was easy to deduce however, a medic nin - the white robes were a dead giveaway in addition to the sense it made. The last one was speaking to Ino with a tone that belied disbelief and confusion.
While he continued to try and make some sense about what exactly was going on with himself, his senses began blinking out on him. It took a small while for him to notice, as they usually happened when he was regarding a new minor discovery, but he was aware that they were becoming more and more frequent. His search for information became slightly more hurried as they reached the city proper and began to pick up their pace - Kyruto knew for a fact that he was now running short on time. He was losing as much as a minute at a time, and with a Shinobi escort moving at top speed, that mean a lot of ground covered. Wherever his destination, Kyruto felt sure that it would be reached soon. Sadly, he wasn't aware of the time when they halted, only the place he found himself imprisoned in upon returning to semi-awareness.
Though he hadn't see the building in which he had entered, Kyruto knew exactly where he was. He could easily recognize the dark, enclosed and seemingly airless space that was an ANBU interrogation room. Although he had never been strapped down onto the table he found himself restrained upon now, his memories suggested that Naruto had spent much of his time here after certain types of missions. Aside from the room however, he could easily recognize a few of the faces gathered around him, despite the fact that they were still a bit fuzzy and indistinct. Things became much clearer a moment later however, when the lead interrogator, Morino Ibiki, stepped forward and yanked the senbon from his neck with all the grace of a five year old wielding a hammer.
"He should wake up within a few hours. I want you two to -" Ibiki was interrupted however by Kyruto giving what amounted to a nonchalant yawn. "Ah, that's much better. 'Preciate you pulling those needles out, man, pain in the neck, you know?" The prisoner laughed at his own wit before stretching slightly to assume a position of greater comfort. Ibiki noted - with mild alarm - how easily the creature adjusted under the heavy restraints, as well as how terribly much the restrains warped under the simple motion. "So you are awake then? Full capable of movement as well, I'm surprised. You were a victim of -" But Ibiki was interrupted again, something that annoyed him greatly. "The three point faux-death touch yes, I'm aware. A nasty little trick often used for theatrical displays of body smuggling and political refugee extrication. Painful, and it provides the recipient with a very convincing state of death that would fool all but the more sophisticated doctors of the mundane trade, and all medic nins below Chuunin level in skills. This skill is also made us against any particular dangerous enemy that you do not wish to kill outright." Kyruto stopped momentarily, surprised at how much he had said. After all, he'd only intended to mention that he was aware of the technique that had been used upon him. He marveled at this for a moment before laughing aloud again. " Ibiki! I can't believe it, I wasn't even conscious yet and you injected me with thiopental sodium - That's Sodium Pentothal for the laymen, or even Truth Serum if you prefer. What, did you hope I'd just wake up feeling chatty?"
Ibiki looked at his prisoner for a moment. The man seemed increasingly familiar without the bag on his head, but he still couldn't place him. However, it seemed obvious that the man, or creature - whichever he was, knew him, or at least seemed to. "Well, that was a hope. It seems to be a well placed one if your explanations were of any indication. You seem quite loquacious at the moment." The creature merely nodded for a moment before shrugging. "Well, in any event -" A third time, the prisoner interrupted him and Ibiki was not pleased. "Oh come off it, let me out, ya trumped up example of a troubled teen. If you think for one moment, I'm gonna let you interrogate me, you've got another thing coming. I mean, shit! Naruto already went through this once when he joined ANBU, so what makes you think I'm going to go through it again, hmm?" There was a sharp gasp from several of the people present, and one of them reacted with physical rage. The sound of a harsh slap across the cheek echoed in the enclosure - but before Ibiki had the chance to chastise his subordinate, the man was howling agony.
----------------------
Nobody had seen the prisoner move. That was clear, however, Ibiki wasted no time in coolly assessing the situation. The newest member to the interrogation squad was currently bleeding profusely from a bite wound on his hand, and he was being heavily restrained by a powerful forearm that clutched both of the mans arms to his chest at the same time in a crushing grip that seemed to take no effort from the former captive. "Forgive him his transgressions, I did not wish to resort to physical violence against you without first finding out who you were - and indeed, if it was necessary. But you spoke of a hero - the very one who's grave you so recently violated - and that is a touchy subject within our ranks." Ibiki paused then, glancing over at the shattered remains of the heavy shackles that had seemingly secured the prisoner in place. The prisoner, for his part, complied with his wishes and let the bitten man go.
"I do not mean to insult a hero, especially when that hero is an exact half of myself. But I speak the truth. There is no need for interrogation, nor will I sit through it any event. I will cooperate with you in the respect that I shall not move again until the Hokage - whom you've undoubtedly summoned when the nature of my supposed crimes were known - arrives. I will simply sit and wait, I will even submit to being put under guard and placed in a cell - however much you must realize that it would be pointless - until she arrives if that would put the rest of you at ease. You are each my comrades, and it pains me to be under suspicion, so I will do all that I can to alleviate it." 'Hmm,' Ibiki mused to himself upon hearing this little speech. 'Spoken like a proper Shinobi.' A moment later however, Ibiki decided upon a course of action. "Very well then. We shall not put you in a cell, as I expect our Hokage to arrive here with all the swiftness of an enraged mother, however, you will remain under guard until such time as it can be determined whether or not it is necessary to do so. I shall remain, along with the bird masked one, until that time arrives. The rest of you -" Here Ibiki broke the gaze of the creature and turned to the others inside the room. "Dismissed." The command was simply meant to get them out of the room. It was inherent in ANBU knowledge that the term was best translated too. "Out of immediate sight, wait and listen, watch chakra signatures, whatever, but do nothing until violence occurs."
Once the others had left the interrogation room, Ibiki returned his gaze to the prisoner once again. "So, now that we are temporarily alone - so far as I will allow us to be at this time - would you tell me your name?" The creature simply nodded, opening his mouth to speak when there was a panicked shout from just outside the door - followed shortly by an explosion of force that pinned the door into the stone of the wall opposite the entrance, narrowly missing the bird masked ANBU in the process. "Who was it! Who dared to…" Whatever it was she was accusing someone of daring to do, her voice trailed off as she stared into the familiar face of her beloved brat of a son - or whatever -that was smiling back at her. Without a second of hesitation - it helped that she knew he was going to return - the Hokage of Konoha reverted to teenage girl once again and leapt across the room with a happy squeal to latch onto Naruto. The giant that had once been the second shortest ANBU easily supported her weight with a smile… until the Hokage nearly destroyed the teeth in his head with a fiercely delivered fist. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WENT THROUGH? How? Naruto, how could you kill yourself? Do you have any idea how many people you hurt by doing that?" The first phrase was all anger, the second however… Kyruto had barely understood the words through the sobs.
Ibiki simply stood awestruck. He had never seen the Hokage show such emotion to anyone… well, except for Naruto - who, despite all the laws of nature he seemed to be breaking - was once again, sitting right here and giving a soft grin. Ibiki's laughter, a sound seldom heard anywhere outside of a bar, rang throughout - surprising everyone present. "Well then, brat. I guess you still are the most surprising Ninja of Konoha, hmm? Well then, I expect you back at work tomorrow for a full briefing on all the things you've missed, yes?" With that, he turned towards the door with every intention of leaving long before the shock could wear off and he'd be endangering his professional image by doing a subdued imitation of the Hokage herself. "Welcome back, kid. You're replacement's dumber than you were when you first joined, and - considering how little that's improved - I really don't want to go through another 5 year series of headaches." Although he was rather brisk, his tone held genuine affection and brought a smile to Kyruto's face.
----------------------
After the touching reunion - followed by a veritable mountain of paperwork to have Naruto reinstated, a process simplified by Kyruto's suggestion to simply treat him as an unconfirmed KIA - Kyruto was finally able to get himself a shower. He was currently enjoying the cramped confines of a half stall that accordion-ed out of the wall of a bathroom that was roughly 8 by 6 feet. The room was for prisoners who were there for protection as opposed to incarceration, but Naruto didn't mind in the slightest. It was, in fact, very much like the apartment Naruto had always called home. He had been provided with toiletries, and the ceremonial outfit he'd been buried in was happily trashed upon being promised an outfit to wear. Now, he was marveling at his body - getting his first unobstructed view of what he was.
It fascinated him to see the intricate lines of kanji that traced across the skin of much of his body. They were not like scars, nor were they like tattoos, merely, it seemed as if they were like dark birthmarks of a sort - an odd thing to see. His body on the whole was much larger than Naruto's had been, and it possessed many attributes that Naruto's hadn't either. For one, Kyruto had tails. Two large and fluffy tails that were held partially aloft towards the end to avoid dragging on the ground. His teeth were all slightly sharper, although his canines and eye teeth were extreme examples of the case. His jaw had narrowed and become slightly extended, giving him a very slight muzzle if he studied it closely. His eyes, too, had changed. His pupils were now permanently slit, and his pupils were a fiery red instead of black. His ears were elongated until they extended almost two inches past the longest spike of his hair, and his hands - as well as his feet - had assumed a much more animalistic experience. The joints had become slightly thicker, enabling him to hold his fingers stiff for claw strikes with greater ease - without causing the speed of his hand seals to suffer much. And the claws, oh yes, he no longer had fingernails but wickedly tipped claws that seemed quite ready to rend flesh should he desire to do so. They were present on his hands as well as his feet… and another marvel showed itself in his feet. Kyruto could walk on the balls of his feet just as comfortably - if not more so - as he could flat footed. The muscle tone was certainly more pronounced as well - and it amazed him to recall the easy power his body wielded.
'Yes,' Kyruto thought as he broke into the chorus of Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. 'This body will more than do the trick.'
-----------------------
"Smoooooke
on the Waaaaaaater! A fire in the skies. We ended up at the Grand
Hotel
It was empty cold and bare…" Kyruto spun the water off
and stepped out to shut the accordion door before snatching up a
towel to roughly dry off. He was feeling good now - amazing what
getting the stink of being dead off of you could do for a persons
mood - and it showed as he snatched up the tube of toothpaste for an
impromptu microphone. "But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just
outside." In his jovial mood, he happily brushed his tarter filled
mouth out and wrapped the towel around his waist. He figured he had
about twenty minutes of down time before someone would come to get
him, and he intended to do that by flopping down on the bed and
closing his eyes. Very soon, he knew he would be far too busy to
enjoy the simple moments in life like this, so this one, he promised
himself, would be comatosely enjoyed to the fullest. "With a few
red lights and a few old beds…" With one hand on his towel and
the other on his Crest mic, Kyruto opened the door and stepped
grandly into his small temporary bedroom with his eyes closed and his
head held high, belting out the musical strains of a pot smoking
generation happily.
"We made a place to swe… Oh Shit." Well, that had been the plan anyway. What actually occurred was him feeling like a complete idiot as he walked in front of a crowd of people with only a towel on singing wildly off key and striking a pose. There was utter silence form the collected faces of Tsunade, Sakura, Ino, Ten-Ten, Anko, Kakashi, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Chouji. All of them simply stared at him as a fine blush began to grace his features… until he simply disappeared from view. "FUCK! Can't you people leave my package of clothes in a slightly more obvious place then hanging on the shower door! I mean, shit. I wouldn't have seen it unless you guys were - for some indefinable reason - waiting for me to pop out butt ass naked! Hey. Wait a minute! Who cam in while I was in the shower?" Following this outburst, a slightly miffed Kyruto stepped out of the bathroom, tightening a loose gi around his upper torso. "Well?" Surprisingly, Shikamaru simply waved from his position on the bed where he seemed to have been napping. "You, Shika, what the fuck man?" The 'troublesome' man simply shrugged before pointing to a shadow hand that was now waving from the wall. "The shadows carried it. I didn't think you'd want to be disturbed during your solo." There were a few giggles that followed his statement, along with the deep belly laugh of Chouji, and the brash guffaws from the Inuzuka. Anko, predictably, had to have the last word in before things got somber. "Damn kid, I knew you were cute, but hell… If I'd have known you were that grown up, I woulda done a lot more solo missions with you."
-----------------
In the time it took for Ino to attempt to pummel the much more experienced ANBU, Anko to react indignantly to the bruise she was sure to find on her nose within the hour, and Tsunade to place them both in a painful hold, the mood had begun to degenerate. By the time everyone was settled once again, Kyruto had settled onto the only remaining piece of furniture left unoccupied in the room. He was only mildly surprised - although immensely happy - to find Ino in his lap a moment later. This seemed to be the sign, as everyone was soon standing to give Naruto - for he hadn't corrected any of them yet - their congratulations on his return to life. Some were jovial, some were a bit vicious, but most of them were nothing but affectionate despite their actions. In the end, Kyruto sported a black eye, a busted lip, and several bruises along his arms - all of which were nearly done healing.
When people had finally settled down a moment later though, the smiles were gone. Everyone wanted an explanation, and Kyruto doubted highly he would escape with his life if he tried to avoid the issue. "Right. First thing's first. My name, for I am no longer Naruto, is Kyruto." Many objections rose, although few were as forceful as the Hokage herself. Tsunade actually stood and came to his side once more - gently extracting the Yamanaka girl from his lap - and put a hand on his shoulder that squeezed with enough force that Kyruto was very surprised his entire ball and socket shoulder joint hadn't been powdered. Her words had been no less severe. "You are Naruto, do you hear me? Tail or no. Ears or no. Claws or no. You are Uzumaki Naruto, and I don't give a shit what you have to say to the contrary. You sing just as bad as him, you have the same horrible level of profanity in your speech, and you have the same smile that warmed my heart those many years ago. I do not care that you have returned from the grave. I do not care that you may be our greatest asset in the battle to come. Frankly, I couldn't give a shit about any of that even if I owned a pig farm. I will not call you by any other name than Naruto no matter what you say or do, and I have a hunch that several others would agree with me. Try and argue, and you will shortly find yourself back in a small box under several feet of earth. The only difference this time being I will make sure you are alive this time - barely. Understood?"
"Yes ma'am." Kyruto - or Naruto rather - was mildly annoyed to realize his voice had squeaked ever so slightly. When Tsunade had released her grip - doing so with a bright and sunny smile - she happily pecked his cheek and retreated to her spot on the bed. 'Shikamaru was right,' the creature who, once again, went by the moniker of Naruto, mused privately. 'Women are extremely troublesome.'
'Well then, Naruto," The Hokage continued, putting special emphasis - along with a narrow eyed glare - on his name as she spoke. "I believe you owe us all an explanation. We won't pester you with accusations or recriminations. We do however, wish to know of what you learned in your time between your death and rebirth. You may also like to summarize what went on after your death, as I am the only one present in this room with any prior knowledge as to the fact that it didn't end there for you." Naruto nodded slightly in affirmation before closing his eyes, one hand absently stroking the short remains of Ino's beautiful blonde hair. After a moment, he sighed softly and opened his eyes to glance around to each individuals faces. "Alright. The long and short of it is rather simple. When I died, I did not expect to hear anything after that. I didn't expect to find myself floating around in ethereal form, watching the aftermath of my suicide. I didn't expect any of these things, but I found them none the less. I woke up to find Kiba bringing my corpse to the Hokage tower. I then watched, following around in a detached sense of wonder, as Hinata saw me in his arms and broke down while trying to help him stay sane. " Kiba looked a little bashful at this, but after an oddly comforting glance from Naruto, he seemed to relax.
"I was there for each of you. Baa-chan, I covered you and gave you peace when you collapsed after shouting at the Yondaime. Sakura, I watched as you found my carving and added to it on the bridge. Kakashi, I watched as you sought out Kurenai to help deal with your anguish. Ten-Ten, although I gave you privacy at the right times, I watched you comforting Ino, and I saw the tears you cried yourself. Shika, Cho… I was there watching the clouds with you and, Heheh, I was the reason your last chip disappeared. Sorry! It was an experiment to see if I could eat still. Anko, I came to visit you in your apartment after the party broke up. I left shortly there after, although I won't mention why, I imagine you understand. As for Ino…" Naruto smiled softly and gave the woman in his lap a gentle squeeze. " I was the man you spoke to, just a few hours before I was born. I… I was told… I was told by Sasuke - please, let me finish before you ask, all of you - that there was someone who loved me how I wanted to be loved. I didn't believe him though, so he created a body for me to find out. I found you, and I didn't believe it at first. I know I pissed you off, and I'm sorry… but, through that, I discovered how wonderful a person you are. I still don't know as much about you as I'd like, and I bet it's the same for you, so we'll have to spend as much time as possible remedying that situation, okay?"
The Yamanaka girl nodded, and Naruto was about to continue speaking when Kiba spoke up. He didn't speak above a whisper, which immediately drew everyone's attentions, especially considering the ANBU Hunter Nin's normal volume. "I knew it, man. I did." The statement wasn't unusual - Kiba often said the same thing when being caught with his pants down over something that everyone but him seemed to know. The sincerity in his voice this time, however, made it obvious he meant it. "It was you. I… I knew it all along. You were the one who told me about Hinata, weren't you? You told me she was hurt, right?" Naruto nodded, eyes closed in anguish as tears began to form in his eyes and were desperately clamped down on. "I'm sorry, Kiba. I never meant for it to happen. I never knew she would…" His voice choked off then, and Ino hastily wrapped her arms tighter around him, cooing softly into his ear to calm him down. Kiba however, simply shook it off. "It's alright, man. Seriously. You saved her life, and probably mine because of it. I couldn't blame you for anything. We all got hit pretty hard, ya fucking jack ass. But… I remember how people used to act around you, even when we were little. I remember how much some places charged - if they served you at all - when you went to get food or clothes. I know… it was hard for you, so I don't even blame you for suicide. All I gotta say though, is that if you're ever feeling down again… I mean, ah fuck. Look, I know I'm not good at this mushy shit, alright? But, look, I'm here okay? Come talk. You can tell me anything, and I'll listen. I may be a jerk, but I get uncomfortable… even with Hinata when she gets into her dramatic moods… but, the point is, I'll listen. You'll owe me a good spar afterwards, but I'll listen. I'm sure everyone here would do the same for you."
There were murmurs of assent all around, but Naruto scarcely heard them. He was shocked, to say the least. He had never known Kiba to be anything but aggressive and assertive. He was one of the top Hunters in the corps, and a brawler of nearly unbeatable skill otherwise. The beast-man was not a poet, nor would you ever hear of him going to a chick flick… but he had just allowed himself to acknowledge the softer feelings that he seemed so dead set on eternally ignoring - just for Naruto. The newborn creature was touched, and he let it be known in a way that would allay the Inuzuka's discomfort, express his gratitude - in a way the Inuzuka man would appreciate - and let Kiba save face. "Ah, shut up man. Like I'd ever come to your ass to talk. You're answer was always 'Get laid, man. Does wonders.' unless Hinata was around, then it was, 'Get laid…err.. Laid back was what I was gonna say, Hinata, I swear! Uhm…. Here, talk to Naruto.' Then you'd shove her my way and hastily leave before you dug… before you put your foot any further inside your mouth." There was much laughter to be had at Kiba's expense, but while everyone was enjoying the break in solemnity, Naruto privately mouthed a heartfelt 'thanks' to Kiba. "Prick," was Kiba's vocal response, but there was a nod with a quick thumbs up before resuming his scowl.
"Alright. Now, I said I would explain Sasuke, and I'll do so now since it ties into the more important parts of my up and coming story. Yes. Sasuke is still dead. He was sent to me in the capacity of a guide and informer. Although he is much the same as he always was, being dead has a… admittedly wrought a few changes on him. Some were amusing, some were interesting, and some… pretty much just made me shake my head a lot. For instance, Sasuke is a pervert." Naruto had a big grin as he noticed the raven haired teenager giving an eyeless glare of death at him from the corner of the room while everyone present had a few good laughs at his expense. "Alright, alright. It's not good to speak ill of the dead - especially when they are in this room as we speak." The laughter quickly died down after that - everyone was either staring at him in uncertain confusion or glancing wildly around as if the ghost of Uchiha Sasuke would materialize out of thin air. "He's in the corner, but you can't see him, so don't bother. Just know that he's pissed at me for saying that, and let me continue. Sasuke informed me over time - it took a while since I kept ignoring him in favor of visiting the people I'd hurt - that something big was going on in the future, and I was not supposed to have died. In fact, something big is indeed coming in the near future, and I have returned - a construct of Uzumaki Naruto and the Kyuubi no Kitsune - to both fight this, and help prepare for it. You see, I know the evils that have already arrived on our continent. I know the fate that awaits Konoha if we are not prepared, and I was willing to risk forever losing my humanity to stop it. You see, what is coming is a force of thousands known as The Dark Legion. They are a group of foreign troops, paying tribute to a god of slaughter, imbued by both a fanatical faith and the power their god gives them. Konoha, is their first target…."
-------------
Hours had passed as he spoke of the invasion force: What they were, what they were capable of, what they would do, and what they planned to do to Konoha if the village fell. In addition, he outlined what plans were already in effect, what plans were in the making, and began preliminary discussions with everyone present over what would need to be done.
In the end, everyone began to leave with heavy hearts and overloaded minds, though a few people delayed their exits for a few words.
"Hey little bro…" Ten-Ten approached him slowly, warily wrapping him up in a hug with a soft smile. "I missed you, you know that? I don't think I ever let you know how much having my little pincushion around meant to me. You made a lot of my dark days bright, and a lot of my bright days even brighter. Even if you're not the exact Naruto I know, that hasn't changed. You're still my little brother, and I'll love you always, okay?" Naruto had smiled softly and gave her a peck on the cheek. "I appreciate that Ten-Ten-chan, and believe me, I'm looking forward to our next practice, okay? I still don't know what I'm capable of, and I'm definitely gonna need you to help me with my dodge drills, okay?" Ten-Ten had laughed, though with tears sparkling in her eyes and had given an affirmative before hugging him once more and running out to attend what she needed to attend to.
"Oy, kiddo, I want you to know that if you and Ino ever need an… instructional partner I'm always open for threesomes." Anko had whispered this to him, knowing that starting another row with Ino right then would not be entirely appropriate. Naruto had blushed heavily, much to the delight of the wild Jounin, although she was a bit shocked when he leaned in to offer a surprise return. "I'd have to say, Anko, it's a tempting offer. Tell you what, if I ever get the idea that Ino might be open for a threesome, I'll definitely look you up first, alright?" The ANBU cackled merrily and headed out the door. Sakura was next in the line up, and she announced her present by blindsiding Naruto with what seemed like all the strength her apprenticeship had given her. When he was released, Naruto sent a hand to gingerly touch his already healing broken ribs. "Owey, Sakura-chan! You broke like, three of my ribs!" She only giggled softly, knowing full well that he'd be right as rain in a few moments - somewhat less than an hour at most. Sakura had - after all - been careful to only apply enough pressure to give hairline fractures upon the bone. "Get over it, you deserve it! Oh, Naruto, I'm so glad you're back! And you'd better be glad Ino's already got a hold of you, or you'd be in real trouble!" The pink haired Kunoichi laughed again before trippingly making her way over to Ino. "Congrats girl! You landed the best man after all, and I'm happy for you. Try not to break him though, it sounds like we're gonna have enough trouble in the future without that Baka getting put in traction." The two girls laughed and hugged, much to the relief of Naruto. He'd seen the looks Ino had sent Sakura's way when she had made - what seemed, to Naruto anyway - something very much like a flirtatious advance, so he was glad that this little issue had been squashed.
Kakashi merely put a hand on Naruto's shoulder - having to reach up to do so - and gave him a few pats. "I'm going to take a little bit of time off in the future… just a day or two, considering the time line we're working on, but I want to finally take the time to get to know you. I never really gave the time necessary to have a first chance, so I'd like to take full advantage of this next chance, alright?" Naruto had nodded, fixing the man with a forgiving smile as the infamous Copy Nin left without another word. Tsunade had simply informed him to come to her office later. Kiba, who had been so open earlier, just gave him a slug on the shoulder in a sing of camaraderie before leaving with a wave. Shikamaru had slowly dragged himself off of the bed and trailed behind his larger friend Chouji to help extricate him from Naruto. Chouji was giving Naruto a frantic handshake, his beefy hands nearly encompassing the fox-man within his meaty grip and promising more eating contests in the future along with other things. Naruto had laughingly agreed and returned Shikamaru's lazy wave before finally shutting the door behind them all. When he turned around, he found himself staring into the brilliant blue eyes of Ino.
-------------------
Ino shuffled her feet nervously, breaking Naruto's gaze after a moment and looking shyly to the floor. The entire time he'd been stuck in the interrogation room, she'd been franticly worried about him. After all, she was ANBU herself, and due to her families specialty in mind control, she was often called upon for interrogations. She knew how vicious such sessions could be, especially when Ibiki was present. - they could get very bloody, very quickly. So she had worried her lip until it bled, and afterwards, she'd chewed her nails. But when the Hokage had arrived, she'd known things would be alright. It was no secret, the affection Tsunade-sama had for Naruto, so surely, things would go alright. Indeed, Naruto was hastily removed from his confinement and led away. When she'd tried to get the Hokage's attention - seeking to get to her love's side again - the Hokage had informed her it would be a few hours before he would be able to do anything but paperwork, and Ino would only be a too welcome distraction. She had agreed, albeit reluctantly, and the old woman had smiled kindly before suggesting that Ino freshen up and get some clean clothes.
"After all," the Hokage had told her. "He's already told me he needs a shower as soon as he's reenrolled. And, I imagine, you wouldn't want to be the only looking like you just crawled out of a grave, now would you?" Ino had blushed and nodded, before hastily rushing home to pick out her best outfit. Her parents had been overjoyed at her reappearance, but they'd also been rather perturbed at her for brushing them off with a simple, "Talk later. Love you, I'll be back!" She had rushed into the shower for an intense cleaning - even going so far as to using small techniques learned in her Courtesan to make herself that much more appealing. She'd chosen an outfit that was casual enough to hide the slight signs of emaciation that had begun to take a toll on her body, yet still attractive. Afterwards, she'd quickly rushed back to ANBU HQ where she'd stumbled upon Sakura as she knew she would. From there, she'd dragged the girl into the Alterations room and begged Sakura to help with her hair. The result(1) - Ino and Sakura had both agreed - was beautiful, and Sakura was thanked in such an enthusiastic fashion that the pink haired girl was left unsure as to whether she should feel amused, or aroused.
All of these things taken care of, Ino had begun heading to Naruto's room with the rest of those who would be there. Seeing that this was the ANBU HQ, only a few of the people who would kill to be seeing Naruto again had proper clearance, and of those who did, some were away on missions. After all, in a Hidden Village, life had to go on. She had been amused, listening to Naruto sing one of his favored songs. It was sort of an open secret within the ranks of ANBU that Naruto smoked more than cigarettes. Several ANBU did actually, even Ino herself had picked it up on occasion. A career in ANBU was something that put a lot of strain on a persons sanity and home life - it was even worse for those who went home alone - so, as long as it didn't affect performance and no one ever became intoxicated on a mission, a blind eye was turned on the slight infractions of the law. However, despite her amusement, she'd been tense and nervous - as well as slightly guilty.
Ino had lost her virginity to Sakura one night when they'd both come back alive from a mission that had claimed five of the eight people attached to a precision strike against a group of Ronin Samurai that had taken over a small village near the border of Bamboo country. They had both confessed - drunk on life as well as significant amounts of contraband - that, amusingly, they had both mourned the fact that they would die virgins. Luckily, they had lived, but it had been a close call, and the two had agreed that they seriously needed to get steady boyfriends. Ino couldn't recall the exact conversation no matter how hard she tried, but she did specifically remember being the aggressor. She had been the one to kiss Sakura. She had been the one to start removing clothes - Sakura's and her own. However, it had been her drunken friend who had produced the vibrator and, form that point on, had become the dominant one. Ino couldn't remember leaving to go home after that, but she would forever treasure the memory of that night.
Despite that, she had felt the tension in her abdomen and the slight crinkling of her nipples as she listened to her fox's voice in the shower - very much aware that he was standing, less than fifteen feet from her, butt naked. She knew what she would do when she had him alone, and she was nervous because of it. She had to, and wanted to, but she was afraid of how it would go over. She just… couldn't contain herself any longer. For over two years she had pined for Naruto, and Sakura had later told her that she thought Ino had called for him at some point during the night… so she was aware that there had been a physical attraction present even longer. But she was afraid. What if… what if he didn't want her? He seemed to act as if he returned her feelings, but was it genuine? She didn't know, and it was driving her nuts… but the act which was giving her the courage to stand here before him, trying to figure out how to approach the subject was seeing him in only that towel. He had been… amazing! His body had rippled with power, and the bestial appearance only seemed to heighten her arousal on some instinctual level. Finally, she pulled her eyes up from the floor and approached him.
Ino's body responded to her desire by adding a slight roll to her hips - a small shift in posture to press her already prominent breasts out slightly further. A sweet, shyly seductive smile wormed its way onto her lips even as her heart began to hammer in her chest - even as a blush spread across her cheeks as if it owned them. She was so very afraid, so very nervous. After all, beyond that one night with the vibrator, only her fingers had been inside of her - and even they hadn't penetrated far - so his size was both a fear an a mystery that she would happily solve. There were other things as well, Ino knew that many women had been attracted to Naruto, she had seen on several occasions - even during missions - where women had been less than subtle about their physical desire. While Naruto had admittedly killed himself, in part, over his lack of love… perhaps his lust had been another story. If he had been with another woman, would she stack up? Would she disappoint him by being clueless beyond her - rather embarrassingly in-depth - training? Or worse, would he not want her because she wasn't a virgin anymore?
These doubts plagued her even as she sidled up to him and draped herself against his body. Ino tried to keep them from affecting her ability to seduce him, but eventually, as his hands began their tentative exploration of her backside, she at last faltered. "Na…Naruto…"
-----------------------
Naruto, for his part, was becoming increasingly aroused. He simply couldn't believe what was about to occur. Ino was positively slinking over to him, and he was unable to completely hide the groan that escaped his lips as she pressed herself against him. How? How could he possibly be this lucky? Hesitantly - owing to his complete lack of experience outside of a few fevered dreams - he began to slowly stroke the smooth skin of Ino's back, allowing his fingers to trail up beneath the woolen hoody she wore, tracing a scar or two as he did so, until he'd stumbled across her bra strap. It was right about the moment that he began to wonder if he should ask permission - or simply try to remove it without - when she'd suddenly looked up at him with tears in her eyes, an expression of anguish present in every inch of her features. She spoke his name as if he would strike her, and he suddenly jerked his hands away from her as they'd been caught in the cookie jar.(2) "I'm sorry! I.. I didn't mean to, Ino, I…" He was frantic, but he simply wasn't sure of what he could have possibly done wrong. After all, she had been the one to initiate the sexual explorations - her hands were, even still, pressed against his chest. The girl hastily shook her head, a small forced laugh reaching his ears. "My love, you've done nothing wrong, believe me. This is everything I want in the world right now, but I'm afraid you'll be mad at me if I keep something from you!"
Ino seemed to be almost to hysterics, so Naruto just pressed a finger to her lips and smiled - bringing his hands down to gently cup her arse and lift her to his level to place a soft kiss on her lips. "Shhhh, nothing you could do or say could make me mad at you, Ino-chan my love. But if it causes you such distress, Ke'Chera(3), then why don't you just tell me, hmm? I promise I won't get mad, and you know I keep my promises." Ino nodded, burying her face in his chest as a few tears left her. He smiled softly and nuzzled the top of her head as he slowly carried her over to the bed. He set her down gently and climbed into lay next to her, his arms wrapping tight around her waist. "Now, my love, what is it that troubles you so?" Ino didn't answer him immediately, she sniffed softly for a few moments before gradually turning in his arms to face him. "I… I'm not a virgin, Naruto-kun… I don't know if you've ever been with anyone, I know there were certainly a lot of opportunities for you… but, I… I want you to know that it was just once, and I was just so confused and lonely! I was almost killed two days before, and I was afraid of dying without knowing what it was like, you know? Please don't be mad at me, me and her both were-" Naruto suddenly interrupted her with an odd expression on his face. "Her?" Ino blinked, not quite comprehending - her confusion would amuse her greatly in retrospect. "Yeah, me and Sakura…" Again, she was unable to continue with her apology as Naruto grinned slightly.
"You and Sakura-chan, no shit?" Ino laughed softly at his attitude, albeit still a bit confusedly. "Yeah, no shit. Why?" Naruto only groaned, and Ino suddenly became aware of a gentle prodding upon her inner thighs. A soft blush began to form and it was only intensified a moment later as Naruto spoke again. "Damn, did you take pictures?" Ino was… well, shock simply didn't seem to cover it. The lecherous grin that only grew on her soon to be lover's face finally clued her in to the piece she was missing and she had to clamp down very hard in the urge to slap her own forehead - something she accomplished by punching him… hard in the chest. "You pig!" Ino had to laugh along with Naruto as he gave a sheepish chuckle. "Ah, c'mon! You two are the hottest Kunoichi in Konoha! I mean, I may have been dead until recently, but just the thought is bringing rigor mortis back to a certain part of my body!" "I can tell… you pig." Ino giggled softly and kissed Naruto lovingly after their laughter began to subside. "No, no pictures. And don't you dare even begin to think about Sakura like that - or any kind of way! - right now, got it?"
Naruto could only grin softly, although he quickly quailed under the glare that he was receiving. It seemed that the Hokage did not corner the market in terror. When the intensity of the glare eventually tapered off however, Naruto could see the sadness creeping back into his beloved's eyes. "I'm sorry, Naruto… I ju-mmph!" Naruto quickly covered Ino's lips with his own, ending her apologies short. When he let her up for air a moment later, he stared deep into her eyes, gently holding her chin so that she couldn't look away. "Ino, listen to me. That doesn't matter, okay? I love you, now and forever. You could have been slept with the entire Interrogation Squad and all the guys and Girls from our Nine, and I wouldn't give a damn - although admittedly I'd be a bit worried about stacking up at that point - you're mine now, and that's what matters to me." Ino only nodded for a moment before she suddenly began to shift. Naruto was about to question what she was doing when he suddenly felt a hand tentatively rub the length of his wool and cotton covered manhood. He sucked in a breath so quickly that he was mildly surprised he hadn't swallowed his tongue - before looking down questioningly at Ino.
The smaller blonde only smiled mischievously up at him before curling her hand slightly and dragging her nails along the sides of his shaft through the thin material that separated him from exposure. Naruto's eyes nearly rolled into the back of his head as a great shiver ran through his body. "Ohhh god, Ino… what the fuck are you doing to me?" The girl only laughed softly as she gave him a light shove onto his back - something he hastily complied in doing so - before climbing atop his hips in a straddle. "I believe it's called being a naughty little cock-tease." Her laughter was filled with a giddiness that made her pre-sex buzz apparent, along with her slight nervousness - and it caused Naruto to groan again as he watched the delightful things it did to her breasts. "Oh, is that what it's called hmm? Well, my naughty little cock-tease… I would like to warn you that I am very in touch with my animal instincts, and my restrain is a bit lacking." Ino began to grin just as lecherously as Naruto had a moment before, her hands sliding provocatively along his inner thighs, then over her hips to his chest before making their way between her own thighs to the V of her tight jeans. Naruto was already sweating as he followed those hands in perfect sync, unaware - or simply not caring, he would never be sure - that he had stopped breathing. His eyes were glued to those slender digits as they glided across her taught abdomen up to the hem of her hoody and gradually - teasingly so - taking it off to drop on the floor beside her bed. The sight that greeted Naruto would have taken his breath away had he still retained any.
Ino Yamanaka - or Uzumaki rather - was an angel, he was sure. Her skin was a perfect honey complexion all the way. Even through the sultry lace that did more to entice than conceal, Naruto could see that she had that same light tan across the skin of her breasts - the realization that she must have spent time sunbathing in the nude only heightened his excitement. However, a nagging thought was distracting him from full enjoyment, and he decided to address it. Not wanting to remove his eyes from the full breasts that begged for his touch, Naruto simply raised his hand, palm up, and unleashed a small torrent of mini-fireballs upon the collection of hidden cameras placed about the room. The audio feed he would do nothing about just yet - let the voyeuristic fuckers eat their hearts out. Ino, realizing what he'd done - and why he'd done it - immediately, only blushed slightly before grinning and leaning down on his chest. She had intended to tell him something when she got to his ear, but all that came from her was a quiet moan as the unbelievable heat from his chest teased her sensitive nipples in an exquisite fashion. So, words forgotten, she merely flicked the blade of her tongue along the outer rim of his elongated ear. Reveling in the thrum - and how the vibrations traveled from his chest into her breasts - that came from her Love's excited groans. "Oh, God Ino… Please… I need you…"
And he did. Naruto's erection had become painfully full, and he simply couldn't conceive of how Ino stood even a chance of being unaware of it. Naruto may have been a virgin, sure, but he'd spent more than enough time surrounded by perverts to have a basic knowledge of sex. Alongside that, he'd studied enough anatomy - as well as performed more than a few embarrassingly intimate procedures in the field to know exactly what he was feeling. The pajama style bottoms he'd been given were stretched obscenely up between Ino's legs in her straddling position, and he was acutely aware of the achingly sensual, searing heat that was resting on the base of his shaft. When Ino slowly reached behind her back, and Naruto heard the soft click of a bra strap becoming undone, his excitement caused his rigid cock to twitch mightily up against her denim covered mons. Ino, surprised by the sensation, shivered and let out a very quiet scream - almost a whisper - of happy surprise. With a saucy grin, the Kunoichi slowly rolled back to an upright position, although her arms crossed over her breasts - continuing to tease Naruto by not letting him see what he so desperately desired to - and began to rock her hips back and forth, slowly grinding against his flattened hard on.
Naruto growled in frustration as he stared up at her, dueling with the parallel desires to please his soon to be lover by letting her continue to tease him as she so obviously wished, and to simply rise up, throw her down on the bed and ravish her devilishly angelic body until his ears were bleeding from absorbing her screams - and she was in need of a trip to the hospital to recover from sexual dehydration. However, despite the fact that he had spoken the truth about being deeply in touch with his animal instincts - and the bit about his loss of restrain - Naruto still had a nearly indomitable will, so his desire to please her won out. "Do you want to see them, baby?" Ino leaned forward slowly, uncovering half of her chest - although the damnable woman hastily moved her other arm up to cover up the final pieces of anatomy that made seeing breasts official - while her now free hand lovingly stroked his chest before undoing the ties on his gi and pulling the fabric apart to bare his chest. Naruto only grunted in the affirmative - hoping it was enough as he didn't trust his voice to be anything more than a lustful growl at this point. Ino giggled softly and shook her head, dragging her nails across the solid musculature of her Naruto-kun's chest, encircling a nipple and giving it a sharp little tug. "Mm-mm, baby. I've waited too long for this. I was even willing to wait until the afterlife just so that it could be you, and you alone I would give myself… every part of myself…" When Ino spoke that last part, about giving every part of herself, she was somehow able to use a very suggestive movement - although Naruto could not, for the life of him figure out how she'd done it in her position, or if there had been more to the undulation of her body that he'd only subconsciously picked up - to convey exactly what she meant. Uzumaki Ino was promising a world of pleasures for him, a world that included every last inch of her body that he might somehow derive pleasure from - another mighty twitch followed such thoughts and Naruto had to fight to keep his eyes open and watching as a heavy moan escaped him.
Ino's words were interrupted as a second twitch followed her open ended promise, sending sinful little tremors up her spine - each seeming to originate directly from her little joy buzzer clit - and elicited a happy sigh that bordered on a purr. "Ohhhhh, Narutoooo…. Mmm." Ino continued to almost purr as she rode the tide of that mini-gasm. It amazed her that he had been able to do that to her without touching anything yet - not even unintentionally as clothes still separated them from that particular contact. "Oh honey, you distracted me!" She playfully admonished him with a wagging finger - and punishing him with an extra hard, though still teasingly slow, grinding of her hips against his engorged member. Her laughter was filled with delight at the whimper and full body shudder that her poor lover suffered under her punishment. "Now, not a word you, or I'll punish you again… and we wouldn't want that, now would we?" Ino's voice had become slightly husky as her desire became increasingly persistent - the sharp grind against him had pressed the slightly cool metal of her figure eight clit piercing against the denim, delivering a little jolt that nearly sent Ino over the edge in shock. When she recovered enough to properly focus, she noticed the rapid twitching of her lovers nose and blinked in curiosity. Naruto had partially closed his eyes in concentration, and his tongue - 'Oh my god!' Ino thought in something very like a daze. 'His tongue has to be almost two inches thick! And it's hanging at least three and a half inches out the side of his mouth!' - was lolling to the side as he panted. Suddenly, her lovers eyes shot open and a deep, predatorily growl escaped him - a sound that made the naughty little cock-tease tremble with delight.
'Her musk! Holy shit! This woman is flooding my brain with pheromones! Oh god, oh god, oooOOH GOD! I have got to have this woman - and soon!' Naruto's thoughts went perfectly in sync with his hands, the claw tips ripping deep furrows through the mattress cover and pulling stuffing clear out as his intensity rose. Worse yet, he could see that Ino was very much aware of what was going on with him, judging by the look on her face after his growl. When she looked down at him again, Naruto realized he wasn't the only predator on the bed - and it made his heart sink and his cock throb painfully. He knew, without ever having had to experience anything sexual, that this blonde predator straddling him would continue her happy little game of 'cat and mouse' before giving in - and he was almost positive that she'd been near giving in when he'd smelt her overwhelming carnal desire. "Aww, is my little foxy getting a bit hot under the waistband? Is my baby burning up inside - smelling his sweet little Vixen's heat, hmm? Oh baby, my foxy lover, I hate to see you like this - I really do. But just think, it can end soon… all you have to do is tell your little vixen what she wants to hear, baby. Tell me you want me, tell me you want to see your lovers tits!" It was almost enough to make him whimper as he, at last, realized he wouldn't be able to take much more. Ino was being so positively wicked in her teasing, that Naruto was actually afraid he might lose control in an entirely unwelcome manner and explode in his pants - which gave rise to the fear that he might be finished for a while - or, even worse, disappointing Ino in the process and turning her off! Without hesitation, he gave in and submitted to her demands in the most dignified manner he felt he could muster at the moment.
"God yes, baby! I want you! I need you! I want to see those beautiful, succulent, bouncy fucking tits of yours more than I want to see anything - ANYTHING! I want my little Vixen flat on her back and screaming until she's blue in the face! For fucks sake, baby love, if you don't throw that bra away right now and get to work on the rest of your clothes, I'm gonna fucking explode! I'm so hard it hurts, dammit! And it's all your wonderful, amazing fault! You're hurting me so good, you sexy little vixen and I couldn't tell you which I wanted more in this moment - to ravish you or kill you for doing this to me! Yes! I'm burning alive! Yes, I can smell your musk and it's driving me out of my mind with lust! The only reason I'm still laying here and letting you do it to me is because I can see how much you want to do this!" Not as dignified as he'd hoped - especially considering how he'd started to sound a bit whiney and whimpery by the end - but the look of bliss on Ino's face made him forget his pride. She was smiling down upon him now, and in a moment, she was leaning forward as well. One hand cupped his chin so that he wouldn't get the chance to follow the view of her cleavage all the way until it was level - but he didn't mind getting lost in those beautiful blue eyes either. Ino continued to smile softly down at him as he kissed him softly, lovingly, letting her tongue entwine with his own while she lowered the rest of her body until she lay upon him. His brain nearly shut down when he'd suddenly realized that the braw was gone, and Ino's perfect breasts were naked and pressing against him - he could feel her tightened, hardened nipples. So sensitive was his skin after Ino's teasing ministrations, that he would almost swear to being able to feel her individual areole.
"Mmm, that's a very good fox, my Naruto-kun." Her voice was purr in his ear and he could scarcely contain himself any longer. He looked at her, desperately and lovingly as he finally removed his hands from their grips in the futon. "Please, baby, my love, My Ino-chan, my Ke'Chera… I.. I've never been inside anyone before - hell, I never even got close - and I'm afraid if I don't get the chance very soon, it may be a while before I can even perform the task…"
(Alright. Lemon starts right about here, so skip to the very end if you're seriously not into it. )
Ino blinked in confusion - honestly, such a thing had never figured into her fantasies… but, somehow, it made it more special, more intimate. Also, if Ino were to be honest with herself, she was incredibly turned on by the power she held over him. She wanted to giggle, but the look in his eyes was enough to convince her against that. She could tell he was worried, almost panicked in fact, that he would disappoint her by not being able to perform - terrified of ruining what she'd wanted for so long by not being able to please her. 'Oh, my Naruto-kun… you could never disappoint me!' Ino smiled softly and kissed him long and lovingly before she slowly rose back upright, getting to her feet above him from there. "I love you, Naruto-kun… with all my heart, my soul, and my body I love you…" As she spoke, Ino slowly undid the button and zipper on her jeans, discarding them as quickly as she was able without sacrificing the air of sensuality she had worked so hard to develop. Naruto, however, she noticed with some amusement, had no such compunctions. He hastily threw the gi across the room and humped the air to yank his pants down to his ankles in one shot. His soft tails now spread out below him, and as he lay back down beneath her, Ino was held enraptured by the erotic sight of her nude lover. He was seemingly half man and half beast, more so than any other could ever hope to be… and he was all hers. But, despite the poetic thoughts she attached to the situation, the sight of Naruto's hugely swollen cock jutting out straight up towards the crux of her legs made her tremble with a carnality that was as old as time itself.
When her jeans were at last thrown to the floor, Naruto didn't wait for her panties, he simply reached up and grabbed her, bringing Ino down upon his chest for a fierce kiss. She could feel it now, between her legs, the massive cock that defied her imagination was almost vibrating as it lightly bounced on the thin layer of nylon covering her sopping, pouty lips that was the only barrier between them at this point. She moaned into the kiss as she thrust her tongue far into his mouth, almost devouring the air in his lungs in her fevered intensity. When they came up for air, all of her teasing pretenses were abandoned and she simply said one word to her lover as he locked eyes with her. "Now!" A throaty growl of assent met her ears as she was suddenly flipped over onto her back - her towering lover hovering above her as he slowly slipped his hand in between her legs to remove her panties. But.. Oh gods… "Now who's, mmmoh-huh-haaa… being the tease, huh?" Naruto's long, thick fingers were rubbing against her lips, his thumb performing deft little circles around her clit - making little stars appear in her vision each time the cooler end of the metal rubbed against her hood. He laughed then - the nerve! - and slowly pulled the drenched nylon from her positively soaked and slick lips which were already parted in arousal. Her legs were lifted to the ceiling as the drenched fabric was thrown to the floor with the rest, and she was ready, by Kami! She was ready! However, instead of being lowered down immediately to consummate their love, Naruto ran his long, thick, tongue through her velvety folds, up to her clit, and then back to slide inside of her. Ino screamed, what else could she do? Her hands hammered the bed as his tongue thrashed inside of her, pushing against her still virgin-tight walls and probing deep inside of her while his hot breath seared her clit. Her first orgasm crashed over her like a thunderclap, electrifying her whole body and forcing her into a rigid arch as her scream stopped, though her mouth remained open.
As she gradually came down, Ino was aware of Naruto gently lapping at the juices that had begun to slide down the crevasse of her arse towards her back. Each time his tongue caressed her sensitive pucker, she trembled with another of those after shocks she had heard so much about. When she was all cleaned up, she knew what was coming this time as her lover settled her back down on the bed, positioning himself to penetrate her at last… but now, now she was worried. One lip sucked inside of her mouth to be chewed upon lightly. She was scared, his tongue had actually stretched her walls a bit and - huge as it had seemed - it was nowhere near the size of her lover's cock. "Baby…" He smiled softly as he looked up at her, perfect love and understanding within those eyes of his - Ino simply couldn't believe how lucky she felt to have him. "Be gentle?" He asked. "Be gentle." She answered. And he was gentle with her, he never gave her more than she could handle - gently pushing an inch inside of her, and waiting if she needed him to. It was like that for what felt like an hour to them both, until eventually, Naruto had buried himself to the hilt inside of Ino's astoundingly tight pussy. "Oh my god baby… oh my god, my love… You're filling me so completely…" It was uncomfortable, but not in a bad way. It had hurt at first, it really had… but Naruto had been true to his word, and he always stopped when she asked - even sometimes when she didn't in hopes that he wouldn't get impatient with her.
Now that he was fully inside of her, Naruto was unsure… he knew she wasn't ready for him to move again, but he was going nuts just holding this position. Unwittingly, his body answered for him, and a hard throbbing twitch shattered the almost-trance of relaxing his lover had settled into. Her eyes flew open and began to flutter a moment later as she moaned softly, her arms -around his back with her hands resting upon what she could reach of his shoulder blades - tensed, holding him tighter as her walls mirrored him. Now it was his turn to shudder - almost collapsing upon her at the sudden milking of his cock. After a second to breath, the two looked at each other with soft grins and the game began until a moment later, when he was a little too fired up at the constant sensations to realize it - Naruto had swiftly pulled out of her almost halfway and pushed powerfully up inside of his Ino-chan. A scream ripped from her throat and she began to suddenly tear at his back, her walls squeezing with enough force that he could have almost believed his cock would be ripped off. When she'd eventually returned to him from her orgasm, Naruto was breathing hard and slightly worried that he'd hurt her. He knew she'd came, but that didn't mean it hadn't hurt her after all. He had just enough time to wonder about the partially glazed over look on Ino's face before she suddenly rocked her hips hard - forcing herself back several inches before slamming down hard against him. A shudder went through Naruto's body as he looked at her, and realized that she wanted - and was waiting for him to give her - more.
He began to move within her again, slowly pulling back out and then pistoning back into her. He went slow at first, just enjoying the feeling of his lovers slick walls sucking him back in as he pulled out, and quivering against his sudden reentrance. Ino however, had other plans, and she began to move against him, intent on forcing a greater pace out of him - and he gladly gave it to her. In and out, with each stroke he could feel his cock bending inside of her, flexing with the curve of her canal and pressing ever so slightly against her cervix before retreating - his angle being just right for the thick bulb of his cock-head to press into Ino's g-spot. Words, at first, little more than growls, were heard from the two lovers as they consummated their love, - inarticulate pleas for more, strangled cries for deities, it was all confused and confusing… until one set of words began to repeat over and over - clearing all others out.
Ino was beginning to get a little desperate - her lover still hadn't cum and her walls were burning painfully at the constant friction. Despite the fact that it also felt good, she was getting increasingly sore, and she was worried that she might have to tell her lover to stop because she was nearing the fragile pain threshold that surrounded her poor little pink as it was abused in such a tender fashion. She urged him for more - more speed and more depth - but he still hadn't cum inside her and she was nears tears. 'Oh god, Naruto-kun, I'm sorry! I can't hold on, much longer baby… it's starting to hurt so bad.' But then, like a sudden calm in a raging sea, she heard his voice call to her.
"I love you."
He loved her. Oh Kami how she loved to hear that.
"I love you." -thrust- "I love you." -thrust- "I love you." It had become a mantra, and it reached deep inside of her and started a fire in her loins that burned brighter with every proclamation, every thrust. His eyes held hers captive, and the intensity, the adoration, the untainted outpouring of love swept her away - the unquenchable fire in her loins becoming an unstoppable storm to carry her within inches of heaven. Her voice joined his then, as they stared into each others eyes and spoke such words. "II LLOOVVEE YYOOUU!" And as their words joined in unison, so too did their bodies. Naruto thrust fully inside of her once more and exploded - his cock pulsing as it pumped rope after rope of cum deep within his dearest love. Ino came, in a way she had never imagined possible. Her body was not rigid, nor was she limp. She held her lover tightly around the neck and cried tears of physical euphoria and emotional bliss as the storm of her orgasm seemed to wash away all fears, all doubts, all tension and anxiety… She felt her lover's seed inside of her, and it did burn in a detached sense, but she was much more overcome by the contentment that followed. She was his now, as he was hers - his seed pulsing deep within her trembling walls was proof enough of that.
She watched, and she smiled, as Naruto slowly lowered himself shakily on top of her. He was heavy, but right now, who could complain? However, it seemed her lover, perfect man that he was, knew just what was on her mind again. He slowly rolled over towards her side, pulling her tightly to his chest and wrapping her in his arms protectively - one of his hands gently massaging her left breast while the other stroked her abdomen. In all her years, Ino had never known such wondrous feelings of happiness, joy, euphoria, tranquility and satisfaction. Individually, she had felt each on a smaller scale yes, but none with more than perhaps two others - never all, and never as powerful. "I love you Naruto-kun…" "Mmmm… I love you too, Ino-chan."
----------------------
It was there, on that bed, still slick with each others juices - and surrounded by every other bit of evidence suggesting a very good time - that the two were discovered by a relatively new and unskilled ANBU who had come to check on why the room's surveillance cameras were all blank - doing so, in fact, without orders in an attempt to win points with his superiors. As soon as the ANBU opened the door, he learned that the old phrase 'Let sleeping dogs lie' should also include foxes - especially of the six foot, demonic and naked type. His last thought before the darkness claimed him was oddly out of place with the violent method employed to put him into a small coma. 'Wow, y'know, someone really should clean between these walls… it's filthy in here.'

Notes:
(1. Ino's hair - Ino's haircut now resembles Quistis from FF8. Cause dammit, I think that looks sexy as hell, and if Ino just had to go and cut off her beautiful long hair, then I'm gonna do something with it.
(2. Cookie Jar -?- Nothing major here, I just wanna say how horribly tempted I was to make that 'nookie jar' considering the circumstances.
(3. Ke'Chera - A term of affection that dates back pretty far. I'm not sure in what century it was to be exact, but it was a Nordic -Viking- term that you can translate about three different ways. Dear Heart, Loved One, Closest to my Heart.
(AN: Alright. Pretty long chapter considering my usual for this story, eh? Well, the lemon helped, hell, I ended up with about four MS Works WP pages full of it, but I hope ya don't mind. If you did - don't report me, seriously. If you've read up to this chapter, I would like to think that the rest of my stuff is good enough to ignore my little hormone overload. Anyway… We now have Naruto again, instead of Kyruto. We also have several people aware of his return, although the world at large isn't aware yet… So many things to do, so many things to say… And what will Ino's parents think! -chuckle- Anyway, I delayed getting cigarettes for over two hours just to get this fucking thing finished because I decided to be nice to my readers after blowing you guys off to spend three nights on a small chartered party boat for the criminally insane (Cosplayers) where I proceeded to kill my liver, bake my brain and do my level best to charm any attractive examples of characters I recognized and liked. Heh, I'd give ya my scorecard, but I think that'd be a bit crass. Anyway, hope ya'll enjoyed. I'm taking a break for an hour or so no, and then I'll try to get back to writing the next chapter, alright?)
