Chapter 8: The Prisoner
Sakura's Notes
All living organisms are made up of 4 major macromolecules: nucleic acid, protein, carbohydrate, and lipid. They are necessary components for structures and functions of a living body. Their sources are food, aka, nutrients.
However, the dosage is extremely crucial. In terms of humans, the body can synthesize some nutrients as needed, hence, non-essential, but essential nutrients must be obtained from food. Human dietary is devised so that the body intakes the appropriate amount of each macromolecule through 4 main sources: fiber, protein, lipid, and starch.
(Flashback)
"Did anyone follow you?"
"No, I told my parents that I'm going to the farm. Our family knows the owner, so they didn't suspect a thing. The farm is big so even if the owner doesn't see me, he will think that it's normal."
"That's smart, Rina-chan."
The two kids, who couldn't be older than five years old, climb up the treehouse which is duped as their "secret lair". The treehouse is located deep inside the forest, and barely anyone ventures inside to know that such a place exists.
The woods are old but durable. There is no furniture, so the girl, Rina, has decorated the placed with toy chests, and drawing tools. The boy has asked the girl to keep their meeting a secret, and she, who is lonely due to her best friend recently moved oversea, promises him without any question.
"Do you have friends at the orphanage, Shin-kun?"
"I have a few. But we don't interact much when we are together."
"But how can you be friends without interacting?"
"My definition of friends is different than yours, Rina-chan."
"I don't understand."
"And I'm glad you don't. To me, if another kid breaks my arms and legs instead of cutting my ligaments or tendons, I would happily call that person a friend."
"How come? They both sounds painful to me."
"Bones heals faster than tendons and ligaments, Rina-chan."
"How come they let you stay the weekend here? I thought Mist is short on manpower at the moment."
"I told my supervisor that I'm meeting my girlfriend. Aoi-san just stared at me for a few seconds before he started sobbing then threw me out of the office. I was told not to show my face until Monday."
"He sounds bitter."
"Well, Aoi-san is pretty sensitive about his unwilling bachelorhood. He passed marriable age, I think." Haku remarks cheekily. It's no secret in the office that Chief Aoi's single status is one of the Unspeakable.
For some reason, the man can't go beyond the first date. All women who went out with him cut off communication and some even pretended not to know him when they bumped into each other. Aoi desperately wanted to know the reason, so on one occasion, he took advantage of his position to stalk and "interrogate" his date.
The "interrogation" was found out by the Terumi Mei- the Head of Mist, and she ordered him to let the poor woman go. Needless to say, Aoi's reputation only got worse after this incident. Though he was lucky to get off with only probation.
On the other hand, Haku is super popular with the lady. His good look and gentle personality have stolen many hearts in Mist and Konoha, both men and women. His mailboxes at the offices are often filled with love letters and phone numbers of his admirers.
To Aoi, Haku's existence is a constant reminder of his "bachelorhood". Therefore, he uses his position to send Haku away for diplomatic purposes in other locations as much as he can. So even though Haku is technically a Mist's agent, he spends more time in other countries than his home.
Last year, Aoi successfully convinces Mei to partner Haku with Uchiha Shisui to improve relations between the two countries. As the result, Haku was sent to Konoha for an indefinite amount of time.
The new partners get along for the most part, but Haku's cheekiness and sarcasm always rub Shisui the wrong way. Other members of the Police Force take great satisfaction at seeing the jester Shisui being play around like a headless chicken by the newcomer. It feels like justice has finally been served.
"I have been ordered to dig up the files of Mist's deceased agents by Konoha," Haku puts three cubes of sugar into his coffee and stirs them well. "Mei-sama, however, is resistant to the idea of a foreign nation getting access to confidential profiles of our secret agents."
"Any chances that she might fabricate the records?" Rina takes a bite at her tiramisu while eyeing Haku's coffee with disgust.
"She can try but Shisui will find out immediately. He has good eyes and great analytical skills. Then the Mist will be in trouble and they can't afford to ruin their reputation again." Not happy at the sweetness of his coffee, Haku dissolves two more cubes.
"I trust that you will convey that point to Terumi. Don't let Aoi or the elders interfere, or I will find something else for them to worry about." Rina hates those advisors and elders. They are too conservatives and greedy to care for the citizens.
She is no saint, but it always bothers her to see a government that doesn't have the interests and well-being of the citizens in mind.
"You can count on me for that," Haku deems the coffee acceptable, dips his bread into the liquid, then take a bite, raising an eyebrow at Rina's disgust expression. "How are things on your side?"
"The good news is that the Konoha government has initiated the operation." Rina takes a sip of her jasmine milk tea.
"And the bad news?"
"Our target is in prison." Rina looks at Haku dead in the eyes, annoyance radiating off her.
"Want me to break him out?" Haku offers casually, as though breaking a criminal out of prison is just a walk in the park.
"He turns himself in."
"Oh."
The true Head of the Akatsuki, Uchiha Madara, is a notoriously cautious man. He is ruthless even to his men and relatives, and lethal to anyone he considers his enemy. He doesn't believe in the good of the people and laughs at the idea that criminals are capable of remorse.
Usually, criminals receive a lower penalty for their crimes if they turn themselves in. But when Madara took over the branch, the policy is immediately overturned.
Madara is distrustful of enemies that he didn't take out by himself. As the result, these criminals end up in the most secure prison of the country and have their human rights revoked the moment they step inside the building. The guards are allowed free reign over the lives of the prisoners.
In other words, the chance of them getting out intact is zero.
"Well, fuck."
"We have modified the place according to your request. Let me know if there is anything else you need." Konan nods at the man behind the reinforced bulletproof glass walls. Her offer is obviously out of politeness and rhetorical.
"For starter, I prefer a foam mattress over the spring one."
"…" A miniature twitch at the corner of her eyes is the only sign of displeasure that the woman shows.
"I believe I said the highest quality painting tools, but I will put up with these for now while you guys are ordering new ones."
"…" A shift of her dominant leg.
"There are not enough colors. I suggest getting them at Picasso Store."
"…" Her right hand is threatened to form a fist.
"I need a bookcase to keep my books when they get delivered."
"…" A shadow casts over her eyes.
"These pajamas are quite plain. Can I get new ones? Other than that, everything else is adequate."
"…" Her whole body shakes.
"You are twitching a lot. It's either a medical condition, which you should consult Dr. Hashirama or Dr. Tsunade as soon as possible, or you are agitating. Though I don't see why you would be." Sai smiles at Konan with a smile that is too unnatural to be real.
"… I have taken note of your requests. I will have them delivered either tomorrow or the following day." Konan pushes down her anger and reminds herself to be professional. She will deal with him after they get what they want from this lunatic.
"Thank you. I appreciate your hospitality." Sai smiles brighter if that is even possible. This time a hint of sincerity can be seen on his face.
"…" Someone needs to teach this man how to read the mood.
"I believe it's your turn to hold up the end of your bargain." Konan eyes the contract killer coldly, reverting to her business mode.
"Of course. But first, I need you guys to look over the records of all hospice care locations in Fire Nation." Sai calmly sits on down his bed, taking out a pencil and a piece of paper and starts drawing.
"I refuse. This is not what we agree on."
"On the contrary, our agreement states that I will provide all information about the former elder, Shimura Danzou, in exchange for no death penalty."
"Exactly, so your request has nothing to do with Danzou."
"You think too small, Detective Konan. No wonder you guys can't get the man."
Konan narrows her eyes at Sai. There are hostility and frustration in her posture. If only he is not the only lead they have against Danzou, she would have sent him to the lowest level.
"Get those records, Detective. I'm done for the day."
The mansion is encased in total darkness. The only light source is the sunlight from the windows. Due to its location in the desert east side of Konoha city, there is hardly any noise in the empty hallways except for the creaking of the woods, the birds chirping, and the sounds coming from the master bedroom on the second floor.
Sounds of moans, cries, growls, panting, bed creaks, and the wet slapping of skin against skin.
"…Ahh…! Minato…. slow down a bit… ahh…" Sakura begs the insatiable man on top of her.
Minato ignores her cries and pounds harder into her. His left-hand grips one of her legs and spreads it as wide as possible. The other hand grabs her waist to pull her toward him whenever he thrusts inside her. This allows his member to go deeper into her channel, leaving no spot in her vagina untouched.
Her cunt is overflowed with her juice and his cum. Streams of white semen leak out of where they are joined into the white silk sheet. The force of his thrust makes the bed hit the wall repeatedly. Yet neither of them pays attention to anything but their intense lovemaking.
They have been at it for two hours.
After finishing their trip to Fuyu village with more hot springs and sightseeing, they headed back to the city. Minato took her to one of his private properties in the expensive part of Konoha. Once they had finished their lunch, Sakura suggested watching a horror movie.
They ended up watching it in the master bedroom, cuddling with each other on the bed. While Sakura is not afraid of horror movies, she is susceptible to jump scare tactics. She clung to Minato whenever a ghost appeared on the screen.
If Minato wasn't into horror movies before, he is now. He loved how she sought his comfort when she was scared, and the cute yelps that she made. He consoled her by hugging her tighter, patting her head, and giving her kisses on the top of her head like he would pamper a child.
He reaped his reward when the credits started rolling.
Unable to keep up with his speed, Sakura lays back on the bed and lets him maneuver her body any way he desires. She screams when he hits her g-spot, her hands gripping the sheet, threatening to tear it apart. Her back arches off the bed, drawing his eyes to her bouncing breasts.
He lowers his head to suck on one of her breasts like a baby. The hand that was grabbing her waist starts fondling her neglected breast. She throws her head back, letting out a broken moan at the multiple stimulations. Her hand holds onto his shoulder for support.
She can feel the incoming climax and judging by the sporadic thrusting, her lover is going to come soon. Her body sings at the thought of his hot seeds entering her womb. The rational side of Sakura blames it on her female instinct.
"Again… ahh… Come inside me again, Minato…ahh…"
How could he refuse any of her wishes?
Her wall squeezes him so tightly like she wants to keep him there forever. The heat around his member is molten but not unwelcoming. The contraction from her climax almost coaxes him to his, but he holds it in, wanting to see her expression.
Minato loves seeing her contorting in pure bliss during her climax. She looks so sensual and cute, and it makes him swell with pride. But her face after coming down from her high is what steals his heart. There is so much adoration and, dare he says, love in her gaze, and her lips would curve into a satiated smile.
She looks at him like he is hers, and she is his. For a few seconds, his fantasy comes true and his chest is filled with happiness.
When he fills her womb with his seeds, he pretends that they are just a normal couple.
Minato gathers Sakura in his arms, pulling the blanket over their sweaty bodies. His hands wrap around her waist, tucking her head in his chest while he nuzzles her hair. He glances at the nightstand and sees that the clock reads 3:30 PM.
Part of him knows that there is no hope, but for once, he wants to be selfish, even if it costs him his son.
"Sakura, do you…." like me? want to make this real?
"Hmm?" Sakura peaks at him from the under the cover.
They gaze at each other silently, Sakura waiting for him to finish his question, and Minato struggling to articulate his feelings. There are so many things to ask, but he always decides against it at the last minute, fearing that he is going to scare her away.
He jolts out of his thought when there is pressure on his head. She has moved her hand that was drawing circles on his chest to stroke his head, mimicking his action when he consoles her, smiling encouragingly.
He strokes her cheek in reciprocal, feelings warm in his chest again, "Would you like to stay?"
Sakura's face doesn't give away any of her thought, but she remains silent at his inquiry.
Her answer, when it finally comes, makes his heart leap with joy and fills his chest with dread at the same time.
"Yes."
(Somewhere in Konoha city)
"Will you visit me tomorrow, Matsuri-san?"
"Of course, we will continue the reading tomorrow. Then I will take you outside for a stroll in the garden."
"God, you are much better than my children. What would I have done without you in this place?"
"Your children are busy earning money to support you, Makoto-san. I'm sure that they would have like to visit you more often."
"Yeah, right. That's why they barely stay for half an hour when they get here, and the last visit was six months ago."
"I'm sure they have their reasons. We shouldn't judge people so quickly. Enough with the unpleasant topic, you need to rest, Makoto-san."
"Alright. You are an angel, Matsuri-san."
"You are too kind, Makoto-san. Have a good night."
The next day, a nurse finds Urumi Makoto's cold body on her bed. Her record states that she had passed away in her sleep. The cause of death was old age.
Summary: The three factions are formally introduced, and Hannibal Sai but no cannibalism faces off against Detective Konan.
Notes: Smutty weekend is a wrap. I hope you guys enjoy sweet MinaSaku because we won't be seeing this couple for a while. I couldn't resist making Minato a little insecure in this chapter. As much as I love the dominant Minato, his goofy and gentle side charm me as well.
One reader is on the right track with the code in the cookbook. You might need to research on the functions of the sources. Hint: the 4 diet sources are representations of the components of Konoha city.
The cookbook and the password for the mysterious file are unrelated. Since the story takes place in a different universe, there is no jinchuuriki, so "demon" does not allude to them. Hint: look at the profiles of Naruto characters to narrow down the password.
Up next: behold our first serial killer and a date with a Police Force member.
