Chapter 32: The Arcane Sanctuary

A/N: Hey guys, sorry it took so long it's just that well… I'm hoping to get a lot of reviews but then… huh. I'm starting to think I'm a lousy writer… huh…

Everyone looked at Sakura after seeing that the man she called Illidan just walked through her and soon after disappeared. She was stunned but after a few seconds, she regained her composure. "S-Sorry, Illidan said that's all he knows," then she sat back. The meeting was concluded after a few minutes.

The others went to their rooms as Sakura went to the roof top to let the things that had been revealed today sink in. After we find this archivist… then maybe I can return to Ashenvale. Something tells me I'll find out more… she stared into the empty desert as the chilly wind blew against her pink locks.

Gaara removed his outer robe and put in on the kunoichi as he sat beside her. "This Kyo guy seems to be important to you…" he tried to deny it a couple of times but the truth in it all is that he was down right jealous. Everything that this person says to Sakura somehow makes an impact on her.

She smiled and leaned on her head on his shoulder while she intertwined her fingers with his. "Panda-chan… are you jealous?" she smirked upon feeling him cringe as he said a firm "no". She chuckled at his futile attempt to lie. "Panda-chan… Kyo-neechan is important to me because… he saved my life and I consider him as a brother much like how I consider Naruto and Sasuke. But…" she looked at him squarely in the eye "YOU are my MOST important person because YOU'RE the one I love more than my life," she proclaimed this as she leaned closer and closer to his face, so close that she felt his breath on her cheeks.

Gaara simply stared into her mesmerizing emerald eyes as she answered his question. It took every ounce of his strength to resist pulling her in even before she could finish what she was saying. One she was done… he kissed her then and there. Letting her lay on his lap as their lips met and their tongues danced, his hands held her tight as if having no intention of letting go.

"For a Kazekage, you worry too much," she muttered against his lips as they broke away for air. "That's what you do to me," he drew her in again savoring her sweetness and warmth.

That same night, Tsunade found a note on her desk. Taking it, she read and re-read the entire contents of her student's request. "I smell trouble…" she mumbled as she stared at the letter while pouring herself a drink.

The sunlight that filtered through the curtains woke Sakura up. Gradually opening her eyes, she slightly raised her head from its warm perch, which was the sand master's naked chest. Gaara stirred as Sakura was attempting to get up. He tightened his hold on her sexy waist, making her lay against his chest once more. Leaning closer to her head, he inhaled her unique scent. "Where are you going?" he asked while his eyes were still closed.

Sakura sighed. Her attempts on stealthily leaving the bed without waking him, obviously failed. She gazed at his handsome features as she brushed away some of his short red hair. Then she lay on top of him, he opened his eyes upon feeling this.

"Morning Panda-chan," she greeted as she spread butterfly kisses of his face. He chuckled as he kissed her passionately, his way of greeting her back. They stay liked that for quite a while. Not letting the other best him/her in their kissing game. Things are about to heat up this early morning but someone was knocking at the main door.

The Kazekage cursed mentally upon hearing this while they were still engaged in their "session". Sakura drew back "You better get that," she smiled with those wet swollen lips of her that made him curse the person, who was knocking, more.

After dressing into his formal regalia, he pecked her lips and then head towards the door. "Now on to business," she dressed quickly and left.

After leaving Shikamaru's room, Ino went to hers and started brushing her hair when someone knocked impatiently at her door. Standing up slowly, the knocking became persistent. "Hai, Hai… What is it?" Sakura was looking at her with her puppy dog eyes. Ino sweat dropped. Where have I seen her like this? Her eyes widened when she recalled Sakura requesting their help to "gather more information regarding Kagura". "NO!" she slammed the door into Sakura's face.

"Come on Ino. You're the only person I can rely on right now…" She heard her best friend say behind the door. "I don't care, Sakura. Don't you remember? Me and Shika almost broke up when he saw us like that!" she reminded her. "Ino… I'll go alone. Remember the last time I went alone? It was a miracle I got back. Well… I can only rely on myself now…" Sakura acted as if she was disappointed and stated to trudge away when the door lock click and slowly opened.

Even before Ino can make a statement, "Thanks, I know you would see things my way," Sakura said as she entered her room. "Don't worry. They'll stay here while we work." She grinned widely at her best friend as she crashed on her bed.

Tsunade looked at the two kunoichi while her brows furrowed. "Sakura, I don't know about this. Slut town is a whole lot different from a normal village. I mean their only merchandise is woman… it might b dangerous for the two of you…" "What's dangerous?" a blond shinobi appeared from the roof upside down. "Well since you two have already heard some… why don't you show some manners and get in here." A vein in Tsunade's forehead started to pump as she spoke.

Naruto panicked and went in immediately as the other person slowly entered the room through the window as well. "S-Sasuke… Naruto… what are you two doing here?" the blond kunoichi inquired. "Just looking for something interesting…" the whiskered ninja said as he put his arms behind his head. "This mission has something to do with yesterday, am I right?" Sasuke faced Sakura and she merely nodded.

"Alright Sakura, you can continue on with the mission as long as Naruto and Sasuke accompanies the both of you…" Tsunade offered and Sakura immediately accepted.

"Where are Sasuke, Naruto, Ino and Sakura?" the others asked. "I send them to run an errand for me," Tsunade covered up for them. "Are… Tsunade-sama… you're lying," Shizune broke her cover as she said that she's sweating rather quickly and her heartbeats are erratic also she plays with her fingers rather nervously.

Damn I thought I could delay their discovery by a day at least but Shizune… damn! "Alright… I sent them to slut town…" Tsunade began. "But you must not follow them especially you two Shikamaru and Gaara," "Tsunade-sama… too late," Shizune interrupted as she pointed to the place where the two are supposed to be standing.

"What! I was right when I smelled trouble… Gaara's Kazekage for crying out loud!" the hokage exclaimed. "Not this time…" Kankuro together with his sister entered her office. "What do you mean?" Kiba asked as placed Akamaru on the floor from his chest.

"You see… when he saw what the council did to Sakura…" the puppet master began. "He… well… he made them regret it," Temari cannot put into words exactly what she wanted to say but they all got her point. "Just this morning, he filed a resignation letter but it was denied by the former Kazekage…" Kankuro sighed. "Instead, Gaara's sensei, the-former-before-but-now-is-the-current Kazekage said that he's title will remain pending for a while…" he explained but the others did not follow as they stared still at him waiting for more information.

"In short, the former Kazekage who is Gaara's sensei has again taken over the title while Gaara deals with his matters at hand." Temari clarified for them.

Slut town wasn't that far from the hidden sand village it was a good half day travel till they saw the so-called town. Sakura, Ino, Naruto and Sasuke stood in a tree branch as they observed the activity below.

There are no shops on the streets. Every side of the street are filled with motels and peeking rooms. The only store they've observed are those that sell contraceptives and drugs that heightens one's sexual urge.

The four landed on the ground as they convene for their plans. "Alright… First, Naruto and Sasuke you two must go to the club they call "The Pussy Wagon," you can't miss it. It's the largest club in town. You two must pretend to be customers okay? Remember that you two are only for back up in case something goes wrong… this mission focuses on our skills," Sakura turned to Ino.

"What will we be doing then?" Ino swallowed hard as she listened to the details. "Alright… we're here to seduce man that has a moon shaped tattoo on his forehead. This man is the ancient archivist. He will tell us everything we need to know about the seal and other things." "Ancient… you mean he's a… DIRTY OLD MAN!" Ino yelled as goose bumps appeared on her skin just thinking about how to seduce a senile old geyser.

"To put it in layman's term… yes…" Sakura answered "Why can't we just get him to talk?" Sasuke questioned as he looked around. "Because… Illidan told me that that this man so called Furion lives in a place they called Arcane Sanctuary where all the information are kept… in short he doesn't know anything if we took him…" "Then why don't we just follow him instead?" Naruto said flatly.

Sakura shook her head. "This guy is different. The Arcane Sanctuary is a place that can only be entered through opening a rift of time and obviously the only one who can do that is Furion…" "Why do we have to seduce him?" Ino muttered as she tried to smoothen her goose bumped skin. "Because… like Jiraiya… he has weakness for beautiful girls…" Sakura was about to stop there but when she saw Ino's scowled face. "He beds them in the arcane sanctuary…" she let it out flatly.

"Beds them! Oh no I'm not going to…" Ino was about to complain. "Ino, don't worry. When he opens the rift then Naruto and Sasuke can slip through as well. Also… he's interested in girls who… who are well unique." "What do you mean unique?" "He likes to test them first… then he will decide whether to bed her or leave her… Ino… we must pass that test," Ino reluctantly nodded.

As planned, Naruto and Sasuke entered the club without difficulty. Their problem whoever is how to move when almost ten girls were clinging to them asking them if they like to taste pleasure.

"Sakura… last time I was this naked I was coming out of a uterus…" Ino stumped her foot. "Don't worry Shikamaru isn't here." Sakura looked at the mirror and arranged her kimono. "Don't worry Gaara isn't here either or else he would've buried every men alive who sees you like THAT," she sighed. "That's why we didn't let them come, remember?" Sakura and Ino stood up and looked at each other. "Hair…" they said simultaneously. Sakura pulled out the chopstick that bound her hair and so did Ino.

The two kunoichi disheveled their long hair and look at each other and then nodded. Sakura and Ino entered the village. They winked at the guards who stared at them as if they were a piece of meat.

"Damn, what's taking them so long?" Sasuke cursed under his breath as yet another slut came cuddling against his arm. The door opened and then every man's attention were focused on the two that gradually entered the club.

"DAMN!" Naruto and Sasuke shouted mentally as they say who arrived. They felt themselves getting hard by just looking at them. Whistling and cheering inside the club became deafening.

Sakura and Ino were wearing a kimono but the sash only concealed their abdomen. Their neckline were really low making their cleavage very visible to all. As they sat, their long creamy legs were exposed to all, only hiding the upper portion of their inner thigh. Their hair was intentionally disheveled making them look as if they just finished a sexual encounter. Their make up accentuated their beauty. Sakura and Ino was playfully biting their lips and making their hands travel seductively on their neck to their cleavage. They looked like professionals. Naruto and Sasuke had difficulty swallowing as they kept their eyes on the two kunoichi.

This is one way to get attention. Both Ino and Sakura were very nervous but acted to be calm. "Seen him yet?" Ino was getting impatient. "Not yet… but I think we have something else to worry about," Sakura whispered with distress on her voice as she gestured for her to look ahead.

The blond kunoichi sweat dropped upon seeing dozens of men approaching them with desire in their eyes. This is not good. "Sakura think of something," she was now panicking. Sakura then looked at Naruto and Sasuke then sexily gestured them to come over with her finger.

Naruto and Sasuke stood up abruptly but they didn't know what to do. "Mou, Ino take over for them will you?" Sakura sighed but then turned towards the door. Ino made a rectangle wither fingers. "Body control technique," Naruto and Sasuke approached them.

Sakura and Ino stood up as Naruto and Sasuke approached them. Ino bit her lip and then suddenly Naruto pushed Sakura to the nearest wall with both his hands as the side of his head; the same with Ino and Sasuke.

"W-what are you doing?" Sasuke asked Ino as he stared at her in between his arms. "Just play along…" Ino started kissing his neck. Sasuke blushed furiously but then he lowered his head to kiss her neck as well.

Naruto saw this with the side of his vision so without thought he mimicked Sasuke. Sakura had no choice but to do the same. At least… it got rid of problem number one. She looked through her half open eyelids, at the men who looked away when they saw their necking session.

There was a young man with white long hair and a crescent moon on his forehead sat by the bar and immediately caught Sakura's attention. She stopped kissing Naruto's neck and slowly lifted her head. It's him. Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke seems to be enjoying what they were doing and kept on continuing it as they felt themselves grew hard.

"Ino… there's the target," Sakura said to her. Naruto and Sasuke were stood still from where they were standing. "Sakura… I think we have bigger problems at hand," Ino's voice was shaking. Sakura strained to see what see was seeing.

DAMN! WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE! Sakura licked her lips and stared at the furious expressions of the two people at a distance.

Shikamaru swore hard as he saw that Sasuke was damn enjoying himself with his Ino. Gaara gritted his teeth as he saw Naruto's lips on Sakura's skin. Sasuke was about to caress Ino's waist when suddenly he felt frozen. "That's far as you can go, bastard," Shikamaru's shadow technique bound Sasuke. Naruto's kisses were about to travel lower when he felt sand gripping his entire body unnoticeably.

Sakura looked back at the target. "He's leaving," Ino observed. Sakura whispered to Naruto "Good luck explaining," as she and Ino strode away and made their way to the target.

Meanwhile, Shikamaru's technique and Gaara's sand dispelled when the two kunoichi walked away. Naruto and Sasuke looked back and gulped as they saw Gaara and Shikamaru's furious expressions. "W-Wait we can explain…" Naruto raised his hands in defeat.

Sakura and Ino walked right in front of the target as Sakura flipped her hair out making sure that he smelled her scent. The young man stared after the two and then followed soon.

Naruto babbled about the plan as Gaara and Shikamaru never lose sight of their girlfriend. The two immediately had a hard on upon seeing what the two kunoichi were wearing. Both men were trying their hardest not to butcher everyone that looked at their girl with lust.

Sakura and Ino sat on the stool near the bar as they sexily crossed their long legs making sure the target sees what he should see. The young man sat in the middle of the two. "Why did you leave them behind?" he began pertaining to Naruto and Sasuke.

The pink haired beauty traced the rim of her glass filled with whisky. "Girls… with faces like ours… do not talk to boys with faces like theirs," she replied as her hand slowly traveled to her neck and her fingers gently glided to her cleavage.

"But I saw that you were pretty close." The target was eyeing what Sakura offered him.

"She said talk not kiss… it was okay when they kiss but when they talked… we had to leave their broken hearts…" the blond haired beauty on his side leaned on the counter, making his view on her cleavage clearer.

Gaara broke another glass with his bare hands when he saw Sakura's seductive gesture. Shikamaru was keeping his cool by drowning himself with sake every time Ino moves.

"Good… you passed my test then…" the target said after he drank the remaining contents of his glass. "Test?" "What test?" they pretend to be so innocent and pouted making them look cuter still.

The target's answer was laying his hands on their legs. Sakura and Ino mentally jerked but stayed completely unmoved. "Mou… you're getting impatient," Ino said as she tried to pry off his hands on her lap.

"Patience isn't really my trait," he said as he slowly inserted his hand into their kimono. Sakura grabbed his hand "Why don't we continue this some place else?" she suggested as the man had no choice but to agree.

Both Gaara and Shikamaru stood up when they saw the target insert his filthy hands inside their kimono. "Relax, you're going to make their efforts useless if you blow their cover," Sasuke said as he drank a glass full of vodka.

As Sakura and Ino were about to exit the premises, they looked back and winked playfully at their boyfriend. "That's the signal… let's go," Sasuke stood up as well as the four of them followed the target and the two kunoichi.

The target lead Sakura and Ino into a clearing in the forest. "Don't tell me you want to do it here?" Sakura asked playfully as she draw circles on his chest. "No… we're going someplace else…" the target then focused his chakra on his first and threw it into the air. Instantly, the released chakra swirled and exploded revealing an entryway.

"So shall we?" the target was about to grip their rear when the two kunoichi grabbed his hand without looking at it. "So this is the rift to the Arcane Sanctuary, is it?" Sakura twisted his wrist making him cry out in pain. "Y-Yes," he blurted out. "No use lying, she slipped the truth serum into your drink," Ino roughly gripped his wrists as well. "So how long does this rift usually last?" the pink haired girl asked. "Five minutes," he replied knowing he was powerless to resist.

"Lead us through will you?" Ino pushed the target in. "What are you guys doing? Let's go," Sakura turned back and ordered. The four figures appeared from behind the trees and stepped into the light.

"Sasuke… Naruto you two go first." Sakura ordered as she fixed her dress to cover her very exposed skin. The two nodded and stepped into the rift. "Next… Ino and…." She looked up to see the two gone.

Sakura then looked at Gaara's eyes then looked away. "I'm sorry," she lowered her head. Gaara embraced her from the back and kissed her neck. He sucked on it sweetly leaving a mark. "You're mine… but you have your reasons so I'll let it slide this time," he said as he turned her around. In truth before leaving the bar, he knocked every men unconscious making sure that they'll wake up with a nasty head ache.

She was so enlightened that he understands her. Sakura wrapped her arms around Gaara as she tip toed to kiss him. He felt he was losing control so he broke away "Let's continue this later… right now we have to enter the rift before it closes," he muttered against her lips. So they walked into the rift.
