Hooray for bad Intel [R
Niklas "Hawk" Jonsson

Summary: One of the worst things that can befall a ninja, is going on a mission based on faulty Intel. But for Naruto and his temporary team-mate, it might just turn out to be the best thing to ever happen to them! Completed!

Chapter Three:

"Honey, I'm home!" Naruto jokingly called as he walked into the house.

"Welcome home, sugar." Hana wryly responded from her seat at the table, where she was currently heavily involved in a very 'exciting' game of Solitaire. She looked up from the uncooperative set of cards and made an approving noise as she saw the mountain goat Naruto had slung over his left shoulder. "Ah, the great hunter returns with fresh prey." she cooed and rubbed her hands together.

"Not only with that. I've got a surprise for you." he announced with a shit-eating grin so wide that it seemed as if the top half of his head was about to fall off.

"For me? Oh, you shouldn't!" she responded with mock bashfulness, then looked curiously at him as he just stood there, grinning at her. "Well? What the hell is it?" she asked impatiently. "And close the door, the temperature is dropping faster then a Grass Nin struck in the head with a Windmill Shuriken!" she added.

"I found someone!" Naruto announced and gestured at someone she couldn't see. Seconds later, Brightwind limped inside and instantly hobbled over towards a flabbergasted Hana.

"Brightwind!" she squealed and went down onto her knees, ignoring a sudden stab of pain as she did so. She flung her arms out and suddenly had a face-full of wet tongue. She sobbed and giggled at the same time, wrapped her arms around the huge dog and felt so good that she was afraid that her heart might actually burst from pure joy. "Brightwind! You're alive!" she exclaimed and buried her face into the furred neck of her faithful companion, sniffing and drawing in the scent of her greatly beloved, if somewhat wet and incredibly fragrant, dog deep into her nose.

Naruto smiled happily at the sight of Hana being reunited with one of her beloved dogs as he closed the door behind him.

Though she rarely said anything about it, she had quite obviously been worried sick about the dog once their own situation had stabilized somewhat and it was a very tearful reunion that Naruto became a somewhat envious witness to.

The love between mistress and companion was almost painfully obvious. While he shared in Hanas joy at the reunion, he also felt an almost irrational amount of hate and incredible envy, that she had someone that she was that close to. Sure, he had his precious people, but the sort of close bond that Hana appeared to have with Brightwind, wasn't something that he was anywhere remotely familiar with.

He'd come across the dog just outside the village when he was heading back with his catch. He hadn't been quite certain that it had been one of Hana's dogs, at first believing that it was a wolf. But the dog had barked in a familiar way and unhesitantly approached him. He did find it somewhat familiar and figured that it was indeed the missing Brightwind. The dog had sniffed at him a couple of times and visibly perked up, becoming excited and impatient, which had further increased his belief that it really was his companions missing dog.

It was quite amazing, not only that the dog had survived the encounter with those missing Nins, even if it apparently hadn't gotten away from the confrontation without injury. But then the loyal animal had even managed to track down it's mistress!

Though he guessed that he shouldn't be so surprised by that last part. He'd seen how Shizune used Ton-Ton to track down Tsunade on occasion and once when Tsunade had sent him out to find Shizune, he'd used the surprisingly clever pig to track down the elusive Shizune who'd been out shopping at the time. But it was impressive none the less, after all, the animal couldn't have followed them through the cave. Somehow she had tracked them down from above ground, crossing the mountains to get to this abandoned village.

He thought back upon the direction the dog had to have come from and shuddered. Those peaks looked nasty and to have made it here in the two weeks that had passed since last they saw Brightwind, was somewhat impressive. Especially considering the limp the dog had walked with!

"I take it that my surprise meets with your approval?" Naruto asked as he headed for the kitchen with the goat.

"It certainly does!" Hana exclaimed between happy sobs, tears streaming down her face as she looked up at Naruto for a few moments, before she redirected her full attention to Brightwind. "Mommy's little darling is back with mommy again..." she cooed and ran her hands all over her beloved companion, her expression suddenly growing more serious and her hands becoming more consciously guided. "Oh, baby! You're hurt!" she gasped in horror. "Uzumaki! The scrolls! I need my scrolls! Bring me my scrolls!" she yelped in a panicked tone of voice.

"Yeah, yeah. Hold your horses." he responded, dropped off the goat and washed his hands, before he walked back to the living room, where Hana was already hopping over in the direction of their ninja gear, resting on top of a cupboard he'd recovered a while ago. "Hana-neechan, stay!" Naruto said and surprisingly succeeded in stopping her dead in her tracks, then walked over, picked her up and carried her over to the table where he seated her on one of the chairs. "Sit." he told her and then brought her equipment pouch over. "You know that you shouldn't be moving around like that, especially not without your crutch."

"I don't care! Gimme that!" she snapped and yanked the pouch out of his hands, whipping out the two remaining scrolls. She opened her mouth, revealing her faintly pointed teeth and pressed her left thumb down on top of a particularly sharp specimen, then ran it across the both her scrolls. In a puff of smoke, piles of equipment, a basin of warm water and a huge amount of small bottles and containers appeared all around her.

Naruto simply looked at the slew of medical equipment for a few moments, then shook his head and headed back towards the kitchen.

"I'll leave you to it. Just don't overdo it and let me know if you need any help." he cautioned her.

"Yes, mother." Hana responded, rolling her eyes at his mother-hen-like behaviour. "Come here, Brightwind." she ordered and directed a determined gaze at her dog. Brightwind whimpered and cautiously slunk over towards her crazed-looking mistress, tail between her legs and well aware of Hana's own intense mothering whenever one of her beloved companions was injured.

Brightwind was happy to be reunited with her mistress, but she'd much rather be without mistress in nursing mode!

It was three days after Brightwinds arrival, that the event that changed everything occurred.

Brightwind had been allowed outside on her own to do her business, while Hana and Naruto were seated at the table, Hana explaining the rules and tactics of poker to her ignorant young companion when they heard a panicked yelp from outside. Their gazes swivelled around to the window, where the both of them paled at what they saw.

"A bear!" Hana yelped. "Brightwind!" she yelled and made as if to get up.

"Sit! Stay!" Naruto snapped and darted off towards the door. He yanked out the kunai that wedged the door shut and darted outside at a dead run. Hana blinked in surprise a few times, surprised to find that she was still seated at the table, then shook her head to clear her mind and hobbled off towards the window. She blanched as she saw Brightwind slowly backing away from the bear in question, her hackles raised and her fangs bared in a feral growl.

The bear was still approaching her beloved dog however and Hana was about to open the window, when Naruto came darting around the house and into her field of vision. The bear ignored the screaming human and made as if to attack Brightwind, causing Hana to let out a horrified yell.

She let out another one as she saw Naruto push Brightwind out of harms way, only to get hit himself, throwing him aside in a fountain of blood. He vanished into a pile of snow, only to jump out a second later with a feral expression and an angry yell, snow flying in all directions.

The bear hesitated for a moment, probably pondering which target to go for, when it suddenly found itself swamped by Shadow Clones. A very loud and messy minute later, the bear was down. It's fur was matted with blood, bleeding from a multitude of Kunai wounds and its head completely removed by a Rasengan.

Hana had been surprised when she found out that the 'swirling Chakra thing' had been the Fourth Hokage's legendary technique, but she was even more surprised now when she saw first-hand what it was capable of. She had seen Naruto pull it up during the ambush, but she'd never seen the result as she'd been kept busy by opponents of her own. There was that ledge he'd carved out of bare rock using it, but this was the first time she'd seen what it could do to a living target.

It was... Impressive.

Granted, it was a technique with some serious drawbacks. The most serious being that it was only useful at point-blank range, but holy shit, that thing packed some serious power!

Then her mind focused on more important matters, like the fountain of blood she had seen when Naruto was struck.

He seemed less concerned about that however, instead turning to see if Brightwind was all right, before he headed back towards the house, followed by the limping dog.

"Naruto!" she exclaimed when he walked inside followed by a concerned-looking Brightwind, then closed the door behind him. The t-shirt was completely torn apart and he had parallel wounds going down from his left shoulder to the upper right part of his stomach, all of which were bleeding profusely.

"I'm all right." he downplayed it, though he looked pale and somewhat unsteady.

"Like hell you are!" she protested and hopped over towards him. "Fucking hell..." she cursed as she got a better look at his wounds. "Let's get this shirt off you." she grunted and tugged at it, causing him to hiss in pain. "See? I told you so." she snapped irritably and wobbled unsteadily as she helped him strip out of it. "Sit!" she ordered him and pointed at one of the chairs he'd dragged over and put into the kitchen, before hopping off towards her equipment pouch and the medical kits to be found therein.

"This is nothing. It'll heal." he downplayed his injury.

"Perhaps." she admitted after a moment. The brat healed like nobody's business! The injuries he'd sustained during the ambush had been completely healed two days later, not even a scar remaining. "But that's no reason not to have it looked at." she added as she hopped over towards him and seated herself on one of the other chairs, bringing out her emergency medical supplies.

She washed out the wounds as best she could, carefully inspecting them for foreign particles. She did find and pull out a torn piece of what likely was one of the bear's claws, but other then that, they were remarkably clean. She applied some disinfectant and spread out a thin layer of a salve that helped to stem the flow of blood. It was supposed to be used in greater amounts then what she used now, but there simply wasn't any more of it to be had, so she really hoped that his amazing healing didn't fail him now.

There weren't enough bandages either, so she reluctantly sacrificed one of his t-shirts and used that to supplement them. She also managed to force him to down the last of their painkillers with a bit of water, which seemed to relax him somewhat.

"All right, my ass..." Hana groused and shook her head. "Now off to bed with you. Don't even think about getting out of that for the rest of the day, unless you have to drain the lizard or take a dump!" she ordered and Naruto reluctantly did as she requested, stripping out of his trousers and grumbling all the while, slipping under the covers. "And Naruto?"

"Yeah?" he groused.

"Thank you." she said softly and watched over him as he rapidly succumbed to sleep.

While he could go for extended amounts of time without sleep, the method his body preferred for dealing with injuries in as rapid a manner as possible was to shut down all unnecessary tasks in order to devote all energy to dealing with repairing any and all defects. Thus it was that it only took him a measly minute to fall asleep, while his body was being restored to peak condition.

Hana remained seated in her chair, absently patting and stroking Brightwind as she observed her sleeping companion. After nearly half an hour of doing so, lost in her own thoughts, she got up and hobbled over to the bed, looking down at him.

She pricked her left thumb on one of her small fangs, then gently drew an intricate little pattern on the sleeping young mans forehead. Once she was done, she looked down at Brightwind who nodded, then raised her own left paw and repeated Hana's earlier actions, piercing herself and holding the paw up towards Hana. She smiled and patted Brightwind on the head, then lowered her right hand and used her index finger to collect a small amount of her dog's blood, which she used to make a few additions to the mark she'd drawn with her own blood.

"On all ranges, free and untamed. From the lowest of valleys, to the highest of mountains. In hunger and in prosperity. From newborn cub to the end of times. In life and in death, in hunt and in rest. Part of the pack, forever more." she chanted in a soft voice, then leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead, sending out a brief burst of carefully molded Chakra through her lips as she did so.

The traditional Inuzuka chant, used right after the birth of every new cub, both human and canine. At some very rare occasions, it had been used to induct outside members into the family, but only for the most special of occasions and for the most extraordinary of people. Hana's own father hadn't received it, but this young man was definitively worthy of it.

She simply looked at him with a small smile for a while longer, then she stripped out of her kimono and slipped under the sheets with him, curling up at his side and resting her head on his shoulder.

"Forever more, part of the pack..." she mumbled and stretched her arm out across him. Moments later, Brightwind hopped onto the bed and curled up at their feet, resting her snout on Naruto's right leg.

He'd put his life at stake to save Brightwind, a member of Hana's pack.

Five years apart or not, he was a suitable mate and Hana had made her mind up.

He might not know about it yet, but he was hers now!

Just as she was his.

Part of the pack.

Forever more.

"Oh. Hey." Naruto mumbled as he woke up and found Hana next to him. They had shared a bed ever since they came to the village and while they usually slept a bit apart from each other, they had woken up right next to each other often enough that he no longer freaked out about it, which was why his reaction on waking up and finding Hana's head resting on his shoulder wasn't cause for undue alarm.

There was one unusual thing about it, however. Her eyes were opened and she didn't appear to have just woken up either, but she was still resting her head on him. He wasn't holding on to her, so she could have moved away at any time. In fact... She was the one who held on to him! He blinked a couple of times, but refrained from commenting on it.

"Hey." she softly greeted him. "Feeling better, Naruto?" she asked him and moved her hand over, gently caressing his chest, cautiously running her fingers across the bandaged part of his chest. She'd peeked inside them not too long ago and had witnessed the jagged scars that was all the evidence that remained of the bear's claws tearing him open not all that long ago.

"Yeah." he agreed, only now recalling the bear from earlier. "How long was I out?" he asked.

"Five or six hours or so, I think." she absently replied in a muted tone of voice.

"Uh... You're not moving." Naruto finally observed out loud, starting to grow somewhat nervous at their close proximity.

"No, Naruto. I'm not." she agreed, still caressing his bandaged chest.

"You're not calling me 'Uzumaki'." he further observed.

"No, I'm not." she pleasantly agreed with a small smile.

"Is there a reason for it?" he asked after a few moments of shocked silence.

"You don't have a girlfriend, right?" she asked him and he blinked in surprise.

"Uh... No." he replied somewhat suspiciously and in great confusion at the unexpected inquiry. "Why?"

"Would you like one?" she asked and leaned over, placing a soft kiss on his jaw.

"Hana-neechan... You're scaring me." he commented in a somewhat strained tone of voice.

"I know that I'm a few years older then you, but hey, I like you and I'm not too bad of a catch, am I?" she asked him in a soft tone of voice, a humongous change to her usual loud and brash demeanour.

"Hana-neechan... Do you have a fever again?" he asked and moved his left hand over, putting it on her forehead. She had a fever during the fourth day underground and she hadn't been very coherent for most of the time, but thankfully enough, she'd mostly recovered from it after a nights rest.

"You don't want me? Is that it?" she asked with a disappointed sigh, looking away from him.

"You're very pretty, Hana-neechan." he declared after a few moments. "You're fun to be with and you're a really cool Shinobi." he added.

"But I'm too old for you? Is that it?" she inquired.

"No, that's not it. It's just that... You're..." Naruto tried to explain, but trailed off and simply looked down at the unruly mop of hair in his field of vision, extremely unsure over what to do about this unexpected turn of events. "Do you mean it?" he asked after a few moments of silence.

She turned around and looked up at him, lifting herself up so that she could look down at him.

"I've never been more serious about anything in my entire life, Naruto. If you want me, I'm yours." she declared with a grave expression on her face.

"But... Why?" he asked in shocked astonishment.

"You're everything I've ever looked for in a potential mate. You're strong, caring, protective of the pack members, a good provider and you're rather cute to boot." she replied with a small smile. "I was thinking about it before, but figured that I should wait a couple of years until the age difference doesn't matter so much anymore. But after you saved Brightwind... After that, you'll forever be an adult in my eyes, Naruto. There's no point in waiting for some possibility a few years down the road, you're plenty old enough for me as you are." she added.

Naruto once again blinked in surprise and utter astonishment at what he was hearing.

He figured that saving her dog might have prompted something, but he had no idea whatsoever that she'd even considered him in that way before.

She... She actually cared about him!

He felt moisture gathering at the corners of his eyes.

"You're one of my precious people, Hana-neechan. I'll protect you with my life!" he suddenly declared.

"As I will protect you with mine, packmate of my heart." Hana responded and leaned down, giving him a loving kiss.

Naruto froze for a few moments, completely paralyzed by this freaky turn of events.

"If... If you'll have me, I'm yours." Hana said after she'd pulled away and broken off the kiss, maintaining eye contact with the younger man only through her immense willpower. The fact that he'd yet to respond in the positive to her offer made her somewhat nervous.

Okay, scared witless, if she was brutally honest with herself!

"Hana-chan..." Naruto mumbled, looking up at her with a bewildered expression. "Yes..." he finally managed to get out, almost close to tears at this weird-ass turn of events.

"I'm glad." Hana responded, then leaned down in order to kiss him again.

"Woof!" Brightwind barked approvingly from the foot of the bed.

"Shoo! Go sleep in the kitchen or something, furball. We're bonding here!" Hana grunted, breaking off the kiss to give out those instructions, before she lowered her lips to Naruto's again.

Brightwind ignored her mistress however, remaining on the bed and observing the proceedings with a bemused expression.

It took almost a week for things to progress beyond mere kissing, comforting hugging and a bit of mostly innocent caressing of harmless areas.

Mostly because Naruto hardly knew what to do or what was okay to do and because Hana was hesitant to press any sort of intimate issues due to the fact that Naruto was so much younger then she was.

But as they headed off to bed on the sixth day after the bear incident and started what had become a frequent evening ritual of intense kissing, Hana grabbed his left hand and placed it on her left breast. He froze for a moment and would have yanked his hand away, but with her keeping it in place, he cautiously started to explore this new exciting territory, much to Hana's vocal approval.

Naruto had conducted a fair amount of research into the visible aspects of the female anatomy in order to perfect his Sexy no Jutsu, but there had been no hands-on-approach involved before now. But with Hana offering the occasional hint or request, as well as being guided by the noises she made whenever she particularly approved of something he did, he rapidly learned what made her tick.

As he thoroughly explored her breast, Hana allowed her own hands to do a bit of exploration as well, which in turn encouraged Naruto to widen the area of his own explorations. But other then kissing and some fumbled fondling, that was all that took place that evening.

It did provide a turning point in their relationship however, raising the bar of intensity and intimacy for their makeout sessions. Two days after that, they had progressed to petting and handjobs. The day after, oral sex came into play, much to Naruto's enjoyment. Hana hadn't gotten that much out of it at that point, but Naruto proved to learn those ropes just as quickly as he did everything else and the morning after his first attempt at eating her out, she achieved her first orgasm due to the ministrations of his mouth and tongue.

Before a week had passed, it became a morning ritual for whomever that woke up first to awaken their partner with oral sex, only to have the act returned by a happily awakened lover.

The weather had eased up at this point, snow only falling every other day or so and in rather small amounts, but there was still a thick layer of it covering their surroundings, so they remained in the abandoned village while waiting for better conditions. Hana now managed mostly without the crutch, but still couldn't walk very far or fast on her own.

Brightwind was also healing, though at a much quicker pace then Hana did. Her veterinarian jutsu worked much better on animals then humans.

The two of them were sitting in bed, looking at the burning flames in the fireplace, three weeks after they had deepened their previously only friendly relationship when Hana suddenly raised the intimacy bar once again.

"Do you want to make love tonight, packmate of my heart?" she asked, not moving her gaze away from the fireplace.

If nothing else, Naruto certainly had an unerringly ability to make her feel incredibly nervous about these little jumps and leaps in intimacy, making her feel like an inexperienced Genin girl all over again.

"If that's what you want, Hana-chan." Naruto replied after a few moments, no less nervous himself.

"One thing though, Naruto. If the term 'doggy style' ever comes up during one of our interludes, I'll tan your hide so badly that future generations will feel it. I'll happily do it from behind if you want, but use the term 'doggy style' and you'll regret it." Hana informed him.

"Uh... Okay?" he responded in utter confusion, having no idea what she was talking about at all. He had a general idea of the basics, member A goes into slot B and all that, but he'd never heard the term doggy style before now and had no clue what sort of act it referred to.

"You want to turn in for the night?" she asked him and he nodded, finding himself at a loss for words at the prospect of what was ahead of them tonight. "Put some more wood on the fire and get undressed, then we can... Get started." she drawled and Naruto swallowed nervously, then slowly separated himself from her and headed for the fireplace in a vacant daze as Hana started shedding her clothes.

She came to a stop in mid-process however, silently staring down at the foot of the bed for a few seconds.

"Oh no, you don't!" she informed her dog, who had raised her head off her paws and now stared curiously at Hana. "Brightwind, kitchen!" she snapped. Brightwind rolled her eyes, then got up and jumped off the bed, padding over towards the kitchen.

There was no arguing with that tone of voice!

Hell, even Naruto had almost shuffled off towards the kitchen before he caught himself.

"And stay there until I tell you to!" Hana snapped as Brightwind settled down on the kitchen floor. "No, not you, Naruto. You get over here." she groaned at Naruto, who had frozen in place at her barked command.

He nodded and almost teleported out of his clothes, rapidly rejoining her on top of the make-shift covers.

"Relax. We'll start out with stuff you're already familiar with." Hana reassured her nervous young partner. "Or... Are you sure about this, Naruto?" she asked him, wondering if he was having second thoughts.

"O-of course!" he blustered, then looked hesitant and glanced over at her. "Are y-you?" he inquired.

"Very sure." she replied with a kind smile, then reached out and pulled him into a loving hug, which rapidly turned into one of their usual heavy snogging sessions.

Hana was the one who cranked the heat up, by slowly sliding down her lover's body, kissing, licking and nipping the areas she passed as she went, caressing, groping and fondling all the while. She tilted her head to the right and every so lightly raked her sharp teeth over his silky shaft, something she'd discovered drove him absolutely crazed with lust. He was nearly bouncing off the bed with eagerness as she reached the tip of him and gently took him into her mouth.

She worked him over with teasing little miniscule tilts of her head, just sucking and licking at the very tip of his member, waiting for him to take some initiative. Unlike those of her friends that Hana had spoken to about this very act, she actually preferred a more passive approach. When Naruto moved his hands down and grasped her head, she even let out a little approving moan and started humming around him as he moved her head back and forth, up and down, with jerky needy movements.

She didn't mind a bit of variety and she could in fact be an extremely enthusiastic participant, as Naruto had experienced a time or two since they crossed the intimacy threshold. But this was her favoured way to go about this act, simply allow the man to guide her and then do her best to suck, lick, caress and generally give her lover the experience of a life-time with her ministrations.

She looked up at Naruto and smirked around his member, revelling in the view of him being completely lost to his passions. The knowledge that she could reduce him to a trembling pile of nerve endings desperately seeking pleasure, made her feel all good and tingly inside. In spite of her seeming submission to his will and whims, she felt deliciously in control and dominant at the moment. She raked him over with her teeth again, as cautiously as she could during the current circumstances. Naruto who had by now had some time to grow accustomed to her idiosyncrasies, unconsciously moved her head in as straight a line as possible, to lessen the chances of seriously injuring himself while fucking her mouth.

Hana grinned around him again. He learned quickly, something only one of her previous boyfriends had ever managed to do.

Then again, he and Naruto had been the only ones to ever have been invited to share a bed with her more then once or twice before she either grew bored of the guy in question or the guy in question found her too exciting to be with.

She hummed as Naruto yanked her down completely, her nose burrowing into his pubic hairs for a few moments, before he pulled her back up again.

She knew that she wasn't what most people expected out of a girlfriend and especially not from a potential wife. She was rash, she was brash and she could be more stubborn then a whole flock of pigs. She could outcurse most men her age and some that were twice her age, quite cheerfully interjecting curse words into her everyday speech. She wasn't afraid to vocalize whatever currently was on her mind, no matter the time or occasion. She had things her bloody way or no fucking way at all. To top it all off, she had a tendency to occasionally treat those around her much like she treated her dogs at times. Her 'terms of endearment' where more along the lines of joking insults.

This was the first time in quite a while that she actually felt somewhat worried, wondering if Naruto would be able to put up with her. The first and last time she'd felt concerned over her own natural behaviour, had been when she was twelve and her very first boyfriend had broken up with her. She'd been crying for nearly two full hours after he'd left, swearing to herself that she'd change, that she'd become a proper girl.

Her mother had, thank the Kami, dispelled that silly idea.

After the older woman had grown tired of hearing sobbing in the background, she'd stalked upstairs and barged into Hana's room, demanding to know just what the fuck was wrong with her.

After Hana had shared her little story and revealed that she was going to be a proper girl from now on, Tsume had simply laughed. A brief little sit-down and a short discussion about the importance of being true to yourself and fuck everybody who couldn't accept that later, Hana had promised herself that she'd always be herself and would grind everybody who couldn't accept that to mince and turn them into doggy treats for her beloved companions.

But now, she once again felt herself fretting over her natural behaviour and somewhat unusual mannerisms.

Perhaps she'd better tone it down a bit, if only until Naruto got used to her?

/Naw, screw that!/ she decided and growled around his erect member, the vibrations at the back of her mouth being what set him off during this particular interlude. She closed her eyes and pushed herself down fully upon him, swallowing down whatever she could and keeping the rest in her mouth until she could gulp that down as well.

This was her least favoured part of this particular activity. But she could smell that crap for days afterwards, even after repeated cleanings of both herself, her partner and the bed coverings, if she didn't swallow it down. So in spite of the fact that she rather believed that it tasted somewhere along the lines of raw sewage, she always made sure to swallow every single drop of it.

She'd learned that particular lesson early on and Tsume had revealed that she was the same way, being extremely reluctant to let any of that crap get anywhere close to the bed. Of course, her mother solved that issue simply by doing most of her boinking outdoors, but that was something that Hana had never managed to grow accustomed to or feel comfortable with.

In fact, she felt self-conscious enough about her own dogs watching. The prospect of doing it outdoors, where anyone could see her... That made her shudder in revulsion.

She glanced aside and groaned as she saw Brightwind lying on the kitchen floor, resting her head on her paws, but with her eyes wide open as she observed the proceedings. Hana blushed and averted her gaze. /Fucking furball!/ she mentally snarled, then let out a surprised grunt as Naruto pulled her up and threw her down onto her back, then shimmied down to return the favour.

Hana smirked. /Oh yeah!/ she mentally approved, vocalizing it out loud with a feral growl of approval. /This is the shit!/

There were advantages to long-term relationships, she absently reflected. Long-term to her, meaning anything that lasted past a couple of days. One of them being, that her partner had the opportunity of learning just what worked for her and what didn't, something that Naruto had picked up on pretty darn quickly.

Of course, being that she enjoyed treating her partners much the same way she liked to be treated by them, she grabbed onto his head and none-too-gently used her firm grip on his noggin to direct him so that things were to her liking. He had yet to hold her hands down and control the action himself, like she had done to him a couple of times during her blowjobs, but she figured that might come in time and with a bit more experience on his part. Just because she preferred a more passive approach to sucking him off, didn't mean that she didn't like to mix things up a bit from time to time.

But for now, she didn't mind that very much, as his ministrations while guided by her rapidly brought her to the brink of climax and sent her over the edge with a screamed bellow of pleasure and a cascade of fluid. That was one of the things she most detested about herself, she was a squirter and while she found the scent of her own fluids to be by far more agreeable then that of sperm, it still lingered for days afterwards and caused her to grow horny at the snap of a finger while the scent lingered.

Naruto didn't seem to mind that aspect of their relationship and she had no real complaints either, so she'd graciously decided to ignore something she usually found extremely annoying. Besides, he was a dutiful little lover and always did his very best to clean up afterwards, which he was currently engaged in. The cleanup afterwards was actually nearly as enjoyable as the act that necessitated it and his tender ministrations almost never failed to get her ready for seconds, as was the case right now.

She slipped her hands underneath his arms and yanked him up and towards her, hoisting him into the air, turning over and slammed him down onto his back.

"Time for the main course, loverboy." Hana growled and bent down, capturing his lips in a frenzied kiss, which he responded to in kind. "You ready for this, you little bastard?" she asked and licked the hollow of his throat, then none-too-gently nipped his jaw with her sharp teeth.

"Bring it on, you sexy bitch!" he exclaimed defiantly, causing Hana to grin with approval. Nothing like being hornier then hell, to dispel the first-time jitters and bring out a bit of that dirty mouth she enjoyed so much. She switched between passive and aggressive whenever it suited her, but one area that neither she nor her partners were allowed to be passive, were in the verbal department. She liked few things better then a really good verbal spar, almost bordering on the abusive.

Naruto hadn't quite caught up to her in that department, but she was fully confident that he eventually would.

She crawled on top of him, straddling his legs and ignoring a brief jolt of pain from her right foot as she did so. She raised herself up and looked down, grabbing on to his still stiff member with her right hand. The guy was a machine, recovered like nobody's business and quite often remained hard after his first and on occasion, second climax.

His staying power had been beyond laughable at first, but like with so much else she'd noticed about him, he rapidly improved from their sessions and she now found it somewhat satisfactory. Seeing as how he had improved since they grew intimate and how hot she felt after the cleaning up he'd preformed upon her, she even nursed solid hopes of being able to climax with him inside her.

She impatiently guided him to her moist entrance and somewhat more patiently then she'd have liked, lowered herself onto him. It had been a while for her and it was likely his first, so she refrained from using her usual wild abandon and instead took it slow. But once he was half-way inside, she decided to screw slow and simply slammed herself down onto him, emitting a small pained grunt as the walls of her pussy were suddenly stretched out at an uncomfortable rate.

She however got off on that faint bit of pain and smirked down at him, once he'd bottomed out and was fully sheathed inside of her.

"How does it feel, hm? Feeling good, you little shit? Does it feel good to have your dirty limp little cock stuffed into my gloriously tight marvellous cunt?" she growled.

"Fuck, yeah!" Naruto yelled in utter approval.

"Oooh, you 'aint experienced nothing yet! Plead for it, you fucker! Beg me to start moving. Scream and yell for me to ride you!" she snarled with a wild-eyed expression.

"Fuck that, you sexy bitch!" Naruto retorted, grasped her hips and started jolting her up and down.

"Oh, think you're all that, huh?" Hana growled and bent forward, biting down and rather hard at that, on his left shoulder. She pressed herself down as hard as she could, stopping him from using her to fuck himself. "And what makes you think that I'm ever going to let a wimp like you fuck somebody as spectacular as me?" she drawled, licking a few specks of his blood off her lips.

She grunted as Naruto turned them around, putting her onto her back and leaving him hovering above her. He captured her lips with his, then bit down on her lower lip, drawing blood as he did so. He recaptured her lips and then licked them, grinning as he stared down at her, his lips moistened with her blood.

"Because you're fucking mine, you smoking hot little bitch!" he growled possessively, wild-eyed with lust and animalistic want.

"And you're mine, my little manwhore! Fuck me! Take me! Take your sexy little bitch, packmate of my heart!" she screamed and then he did just that, almost completely pulling out of her, before he shoved himself back in. She let out a faint grunt, partly because of what they were doing and partly because she'd slipped for a moment and actually used that disgustingly sappy phrase mid-encounter.

Not that she didn't ordinarily delight in it, finding it immensely satisfying to actually have a packmate of her heart of her own and being able to call him such, but she was in no mood for mush and tenderness now!

To call the acts they engaged in during that night 'making love', would likely have caused quite a few people to shake their heads in dismay and claim that it was nothing but frenzied fucking, simply rutting like rabid animals.

For Hana however, such wild abandonment in the sack, allowing yourself to let go so completely in the presence of your lover, was the ultimate expression of love and Naruto had went right along with her and let himself go as well.

Screw flowers. Fuck slow and gentle. To hell with chocolate. Take your silly rings and shove them up your ass! Marriages were nothing but a ridiculous farce compared to being yourself and allowing your lower urges to take over.

When the two of them had finally exhausted each other and they lay panting beside one another, trying to regain their breaths, they looked more like the victims of a brutal all-out-fight then two lovers. There had been biting, they had scratched each other, they'd pulled at each others hair and there had been the occasional punch or elbow involved, but there was no mistaking the shit-eating grins on their respective lips for anything else then whole-hearted approval as they laid panting in exhaustion next to each other.

The End! ( For now... )
