Recovery

Ryuu yawned and stretched, beginning his morning routine. Shower, teeth, clothes, eat. Once he had done that, he walked outside, heading into the hot spring and to the changing room, quickly changing into swimming trunks and getting in the water. He sighed as the water helped with his aching muscles. He lay back against the side, smiling to himself. After a few moments, he felt a wave hit him and cracked an eye open, smiling at Fu who walked over, sitting beside him. He wrapped an arm around her and she wrapped both around him.

"How do you feel today?" Fu asked.

"Better," Ryuu said. "Kabuto's been cleared to rehab me again today. So I should be back to my old self within three days."

Fu nodded, smiling. "Good. You're not as comfy when you're just skin and bone."

Ryuu laughed, squeezing her for a moment before standing and wading out into the hot spring. Fu watched as he stopped, holding his hands on the surface of the water, then raised them, a pair of water spheres coming with them. Then, he spun, hurling them at her. She shrieked in surprise just before the water balls crashed into her face, drenching her. Then, she grinned wickedly.

"Oh, it's on!" Fu grinned, beginning to hurl Water Style Jutsus at him, Ryuu sending them right back.

This continued for several minutes before they finally called it a draw. Ryuu sighed, climbing out and changing, Fu doing the same. Once they had both changed, they left, heading into town to shop. They didn't buy anything, but they enjoyed looking around. Once they got hungry, they stopped at Ichiraku's, then went back to shopping. A little while later, they headed home, arriving as Yugao stepped out of the house. She smiled as she saw them and gave Ryuu a quick hug.

"I'm going to go train," Yugao said. "I'll be back later, okay?"

"Sure," Ryuu nodded.

Yugao left and Ryuu and Fu stepped inside, finding Tayuya passed out in the living room. Ryuu smirked, shaking his head.

"Lazy," Ryuu said.

"A nap does sound pretty good right now, though," Fu said.

"That's true," Ryuu nodded. "Alright. I'm game."

They headed up stairs to their bedroom, Ryuu changing into a pair of boxers and pajama pants in the bathroom and walking out to find Fu lying in bed wearing a pair of pink pajamas. He smiled, walking over and climbing in beside her.

"Look at you, actually wearing clothes and shit," Ryuu smiled. "You sure you're the Fu I knew?"

Fu smiled, cuddling into his side and he smiled, curling around her, closing his eyes and drifting off. The nightmares began immediately. Everything from memories of the fights, to his fear of losing Fu. Eventually, it became what it used to be. Him, sitting in a void as faces swirled around him, bloodied and broken, demanding to know why he had killed them, or calling him a monster for killing so many. Finally, Fu shook Ryuu awake and he gasped, taking a moment to calm himself. He sat up, watching Fu sob for a moment before pulling her into a hug.

"I'm sorry," Ryuu said, Fu shaking her head.

"How can I help?" Fu asked, forcing herself to stop crying and pulling back, looking up at him. "What can I do?"

"You already are," Ryuu said, pulling her back into a hug gently. "Just having you here with me helps."

"I'll always be with you," Fu said, Ryuu smiling and tucking his face into her hair.

"I know," Ryuu said. "But I'm still afraid."

"What do you mean?" Fu asked, pulling back again to look at him.

"When I was there, killing people wasn't the only thing that hurt me," Ryuu said. "The thing that really got under my skin, and the thing that really made it hell, was you."

"What?" Fu asked, confused.

"You," Ryuu repeated. "I was there for a year and a half, and you had no way of knowing if I was alive. I was so terrified of losing you. You would have been justified in moving on while I was there, and I knew it. I had no justified reason to expect you to still be waiting for me when I got back. I had no reason to think that you hadn't been with anybody else. I knew you hadn't. I knew that you'd wait, because I would have, but I couldn't shake the fear."

Fu kissed him, then pulled back, tears running down her cheeks. "I would never! Ryuu, I love you, not anyone else! I will never move on, and I would never be with anyone else! I am yours! I have been ever since the day we met, and I always will be!"

"I know," Ryuu smiled. "I know. And that's why I was so afraid. Because I knew that no matter what the more logical thing to do is, you will always be waiting for me, even if you see me die. But if I were wrong, it would crush me. That's why I was so afraid. I didn't doubt you. I doubted me."

Fu kissed him again. "You don't have to be afraid anymore. I'm telling you, here and now, that even if you die, I will still be waiting for you."

Ryuu smiled and nodded, kissing her. She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck, his own wrapping around her back. They stayed like that for a while before Ryuu ran his tongue along Fu's bottom lip. Fu allowed him access instantly, her own tongue meeting his as she slid a leg over to straddle his waist. Their tongues fought for dominance for several minutes before Fu pulled back. Ryuu moved to kiss her again but she turned her head. Ryuu pulled back, thoroughly confused.

"What's wrong?" Ryuu asked.

"I won't be able to stop if we continue," Fu said, smiling sadly.

Ryuu smiled, reaching up and turning her head back toward him, capturing her bottom lip and biting down on it, suckling and running his tongue over her lip, Fu moaning instantly, hands clutching at his shoulders. After a moment, he released her lip and smiled.

"Who said anything about stopping?" Ryuu asked.

Fu stared at him for a moment before mashing her lips to his, knocking him onto his back. Ryuu smiled as their tongues dueled for several seconds. After a moment, Fu captured his lip, returning the favor for before. And as soon as she released it, he repaid her in kind. As he did, Fu moaned, shifting her hips against him, Ryuu groaning and releasing her lip. Fu grinned, shifting her hips again and capturing his own lip, only for him to pull her hips down against his, increasing the friction and making her gasp. As soon as she did, he moved down, beginning to kiss the side of her neck, over her pulse point, suckling at the skin there and earning a moan for his trouble. Fu rolled, bringing him with her and he smiled, biting down lightly, hands sliding up her sides to cup her breasts. Fu moaned, arching her back and pressing her chest into his palms as she ground her hips against him, Ryuu shifting to place a leg between hers for her, Fu moaning appreciatively.

Ryuu moved up, kissing her again and slipping his tongue into her mouth, Fu's beginning to dance with his instantly. After several seconds, Fu pulled her shirt off, Ryuu smiling as his hands met the bare skin of her breasts. She moaned again, rocking harder against his leg and he began to kiss his way down her neck and to her beasts, taking a nipple into his mouth. He began to suckle on it gently, his hand massaging the other. After a moment, he released her nipple, beginning to kiss every centimeter of exposed skin before moving back to her now stiff nipple. Fu held his head in place, moaning loudly. As Ryuu moved to the other nipple, his right hand slid down her taut stomach to the waistband of her pants, slipping under them and beginning to run a finger through her slick womanhood. Fu bit down on her lip to silence a moan, hips bucking up to meet his hand, desperate for more pressure. Ryuu smiled, moving his finger faster, noticing that each time his finger brushed a small ball of flesh at the top, Fu's hips bucked and she gasped. Finally, Ryuu slid his hand out of her pants, Fu groaning in complaint. Ryuu kissed his way down her stomach and gripped the waistband of her pants, Fu lifting her hips so that he could pull them down. Once they were out of the way, he moved down, tongue trailing through her slit and earning a loud moan.

He circled her entrance a couple of times before moving up to the small ball of flesh and nerves, locking his lips around it and flicking it with his tongue, sucking it into his mouth. Fu moaned, then gasped as he pushed one finger into her. Her hips bucked and he began to thrust it into her quickly. Fu held a pillow over her face to keep quiet, and Ryuu chuckled to himself. After a moment, he pushed a second finger into her and Fu's hips bucked again, her hands pushing the pillow tight to her face. Her hips rolled with his thrusts, and he could feel her insides quivering against his fingers. He smiled, moving up and pulling the pillow out of the way, kissing her as his thumb made small, fast circles over her clit and his fingers thrust into her rapidly.

Fu tilted her head back, yanking the pillow back into place just as she cried out in pleasure, her inner walls clamping down on his fingers and her hips bucking hard. Ryuu continued to thrust his fingers, thumb continuing its circles, until Fu finally began to come down from her orgasm. He pulled his fingers out, licking them clean and enjoying her taste before kissing Fu, who moaned as she tasted herself on his tongue. After a moment, she rolled them over again so that she was on top and pulled his pants and boxers off, exposing his member.

"My turn," Fu smiled.

She began to stroke him lightly, then bent down, taking him into her mouth. Ryuu sucked in a breath, holding back a groan as she began to bob her head. He gripped the sheet in order to keep himself from forcing Fu to do anything. And he wasn't even really sure what it is he'd make her do. After a couple minutes, she released him, crawling up his body and kissing him, lining him up with her entrance. She sat up, taking a moment to make sure he was lined up and to prepare herself, then lowered her hips, beginning to take him into her tunnel. Ryuu groaned loudly as her slick inner walls began to slide along him. After several moments, he was finally seated fully inside of her, Fu's face screwed up in pain and concentration. Ryuu began to rub her clit and Fu moaned, tilting her head back. After a few moments, she began to raise her hips, then dropped back down, once again burying him completely inside of herself. She moaned loudly, repeating the action again and again, beginning to bounce faster and harder by the second, Ryuu's thumb never leaving her clit. Ryuu could feel pressure beginning to build and used chakra to block it, not wanting to stop yet. Then, he grabbed her hips, rolling them over and taking over thrusting, not slowing in the slightest. He bent down, kissing her, their tongues dueling, and Fu's hands began to knead at her breasts as her hips bucked up against his.

Ryuu felt the trapped pressure begin to turn into a throbbing ache, but tried to ignore it. He focussed on rubbing her clit faster, and on thrusting into her harder and faster. Fu rapidly began to come undone, breaking the kiss and grabbing a pillow, beginning to cry out in pleasure, the pillow barely managing to muffle her. Ryuu reached out, placing a hand to the wall and spreading silencing seals over the room. Then, he pulled out of Fu, rolling her over and lifting her hips, pushing back into her from behind and continuing, Fu no longer able to cover her mouth with a pillow. Ryuu was glad he had silenced the room, because as he continued, Fu's cries began to grow louder as she panted and gasped for breath, despite how loud she was. Then, finally, Ryuu couldn't take the pressure anymore. Just as he released the chakra stopping him from finishing, however, Fu screamed, bucking back against him as her insides clamped down almost painfully tight. Then, his seed flooded into her, Fu crying out again, rocking her hips against him, insides milking every last drop out of him.

Finally, his member began to soften, slipping out of her with a pop and Ryuu fell onto the bed beside her, Fu moaning and cuddling into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling the blanket over them and sighing.

"I hope they didn't hear," Fu said.

"Tayuya might have," Ryuu chuckled, extending his senses. "Yugao's not home yet. Still training, I think." He reached up, touching the wall and removing his silencing seal. "We should get dressed before we fall asleep. In case someone wants to check on us."

Fu nodded, yawning and making no move to get dressed. Ryuu chuckled again, reaching down to the foot of the bed where her clothes had somehow, miraculously, stayed on the bed and pulled them onto her. Fu smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips as thanks and Ryuu chuckled, reaching over to the floor and grabbing his boxers, pulling them on before curling his body around Fu, drifting off into a blessedly pleasant sleep.
