Chapter 3
"Don't you think you're going overboard here, Sakura?"
"Not at all. I really love to see you laugh! If only you had laughed more often, then maybe I wouldn't be doing this to you" as she stuck her tongue out at him.
Sasuke was too tired at this point to argue back so he continued to try to break free from the ropes. Sakura found this to be a bit of a turn on, so she sat back and watched him struggle for a while.
While this was going on, the doorbell loudly rang, startling both Sakura and Sasuke.
"Looks like this is it for you, Sasuke" Sakura said, bending down to mockingly kiss her helpess husband on the forehead. Sasuke said nothing but gave a small whimper.
She walked over quickly to the door and opened it. As expected, it was Ino, Tenten and Hinata.
"Hey, girlfriend!" Ino ran up to Sakura and hugged her. "You got a present for us?"
After greeting Tenten and Hinata, Sakura replied, "You bet I do. You girls are going to love this."
She lead the girls over to Sasuke, who at this point realized it was pointless to struggle, and gave up. Hinata blushed while Ino squealed, "This must be a dream. I must be dreaming."
The girls stood over him and he desperately yelled, "Please, don't do this! I know Sakura has gone crazy about this but are you guys really going to join in as well? Even you, Hinata? Don't be heartless!"
Hinata blushed again but said, "S….sorry, Sasuke. I t…think this will be fun. For a….all of us."
"Not for me!"
Sakura said, "Nonsense. I have seen Sasuke laugh nonstop which clearly shows that he loves it." The other girls nodded in agreement.
Sasuke gave her an angry stare and she simply grinned mischievously at him. "Let's get started, shall we?"
"We should retie him first so that he's easier to tickle"
"True. Let's tie him to that chair with his arms on the armrests."
"We'll need to use stronger chakra-draining jutsu on the ropes then, or he'll escape while he's untied. Do any of you know stronger chakra-draining jutsu?""
"I d…..do", Hinata said.
She went over to the ropes and performed the sign. Shortly afterward, Sasuke was even weaker than he was before and could barely move.
"T..this will only last for a few minutes. W…we need to tie him up q….quickly."
They took the ropes of his wrists and forced him into the chair, where they then re-tied the ropes, separately tying his arms to the armrests and his feet to the leg-rests.
"So, where exactly is he ticklish, Sakura?"
"Sakura, please don't!" Sasuke begged, praying that his wife wasn't this sadistic.
"His armpits, sides, thighs and most of all, his feet."
"Perfect! One girl for each spot."
"So, since you're his wife and all, do you want the best spot?"
"Sounds perfect to me. What do you girls want?"
"I'll go for the arms", Tenten said.
"Then I'll get his sides. That leaves you with his thighs, Hinata", said Ino.
"S….sure"
Sakura and Hinata knelt down so they could reach their hotspots while Ino and Tenten moved behind the chair to reach theirs.
"On three?" Tenten suggested.
"Alright. On three."
Sasuke started struggling one last time, not that it would do him any good.
"One!" all four girls said together
His heart started beating faster and he panicked even more.
"Two!"
His face turned red and he even had a shadow of a smile on his face, as if he could feel all 40 fingers tickling him already.
"Three!"
The girls dug in, like ravenous vultures. Tenten scratched ferociously at his underarms, causing Sasuke to buck around the chair like a maniac and yell, "NNNOOOT TTTTHEEE AAARRRRRMMPPP…." This did nothing to discourage Tenten who went back and forth between lightly and heavily tickling them.
"Keep laughing for me, Sasuke. Your laugh is too cute!"
"AHAHAAHAHAH!"
"Wow Sakura, I can't believe what a good boy Sasuke is. He's laughing for me after I told him too!"
"SSSTTTOOPP...AHAHAHA!"
She continued on, not bothering to listen to Sasuke's cries and pleas for her to stop.
"Tenten really couldn't wait!" Ino noted curiously.
Trying her hardest to outdo Tenten, she took her fingers and ran them down Sasuke's sides. Feeling him shiver, she smiled and then really dug in. She poked and prodded his sides, from different angles and using different intensities, as if she was inspecting his body. She noted which techniques made Sasuke laugh harder and used those ones more often. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" She realized that Sasuke couldn't even speak properly now, which motivated her to continue. The tickling from Ino and Tenten already seemed like too much for Sasuke to handle.
"Mmm, after all these years Sasuke, you've still kept yourself fit", Ino flirted.
"Shut up, Ino", Sakura said.
"Whatever, Sakura. This is still pretty fun."
"NNNNNNNOOO…HAHAHAHAHA" was all Sasuke could argue back with.
Meanwhile, Hinata was crouching down looking at Sasuke's thighs. She felt nervous about this, since Sasuke looked like he was being tortured, yet she still wanted to join in on the fun, since Ino and Tenten were laughing as well and looking like they were having the time of their lives.
She came to a decision. She took her hands and placed them gently on Sasuke's legs. Sasuke looked at her with pleading eyes, begging her not to add on another layer to his current tickle torture. She smiled kindly at him and he briefly looked relieved. However, Sasuke had been tricked as Hinata suddenly forced her fingers into Sasuke's legs, eliciting laughter out from his mouth.
His legs tried their hardest to escape from the ropes but just like his arms, they found no success. All Sasuke could do was laugh non-stop at Hinata's dancing fingers, along with Ino's and Tenten's, until they finally found it in their heart to stop. However, judging from the smiles and looks on their faces, that seemed like it wasn't going to be anytime soon.
Last but certainly not least was Sakura. She remembered the day before, when she had found out that Sasuke was ticklish. The feeling of power and domination went through her mind which made her feel even more excited about the current opportunity. She was particularly remembering tickling Sasuke's feet, which was his most ticklish area. Just one light touch from one finger on his toes caused him to scream like a little girl, nonstop. It was adorable and hilarious at the same time.
Sakura used one hand to grab Sasuke by his feet and lift them up off the ground and then took the other and quickly ran it up from the bottom of his feet to the top.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sasuke screamed like he had beforehand. The girls stopped tickling him for a brief second, glanced at each other with grins on their faces. None of them heard Sasuke scream like a girl before and what was even funnier was that the first time they did hear him scream was caused not by fighting an unstoppable and scary monster or ninja, but from getting tickled.
"Isn't it cute how Sasuke can't even handle a wittle tickling?" Sakura taunted in a baby voice. The other girls agreed.
They all got back to tickling him. Sakura continued tickling his feet, which was actually her favourite part to tickle, because of the different ways you could tickle them. She switched around from lightly fluttering her fingers over his toes to digging in harshly into his soles. At the same time, Sasuke was being tortured with 30 other fingers prodding his sides, scratching his underarms and squeezing his thighs. Sasuke felt like he was going to faint, and even wanted to, so that the torture could stop. This was not the case, as the girls cruelly decided to give him 30 second breaks which were short enough to not allow Sasuke any comfortable rest and long enough to keep him from passing out. After the breaks passed, they tickled him with even more enthusiasm than the previous time, causing Sasuke to continue squealing and laughing like a little girl.
Sakura looked at the time and realized hours had went by. She then looked at Sasuke and finally felt sorry for him. "Alright girls, I think that's enough."
They all stood up, giggling themselves, from having such a great time.
"That was the most fun I've had in a long time." Tenten said while the others agreed.
After one final look at the dead-tired Sasuke, they walked away.
Ino said, "I didn't realize it was so late. I better get going. See you later, Sakura."
Hinata also said, "M…..me too. B…bye."
Ino and Hinata then left.
As Tenten was about to leave, she turned around. "By the way, Sakura, I have a present for you."
"What is it?"
Tenten took out a pair of chains from her bag, which were from her weapons shop, and handed them to Sakura.
"You might need these in your future endeavors with Sasuke" she winked.
"We're not into that kind of thing, Tenten."
Tenten laughed, "No, silly. These are to help you out when you feel like having an intimate tickling session with Sasuke again."
"Ok thanks, I guess."
"Bye, Sakura." Tenten then left.
Sakura went over to the still tied-up and helpless Sasuke. She untied his feet first.
"How are you feeling?"
Sasuke was much too tired to argue back so he remained silent.
"Guess I know your true weakness now." she jokingly mocked. "Ino, Tenten and Hinata too."
"You know….I still found it hot that you decided to go ahead with this after how many times I told you I hate being tickled. You being in control is a different feeling. And a nice one."
"That's because I know you actually like being tickled, Sasuke."
"Nonsense."
Sasuke was too tired at this point to continue talking and Sakura decided to let him rest.
But first, she straddled Sasuke, and locked her eyes with his. He noted that she never looked at him so intensely before. She brought her head closer to his, closed her eyes, and kissed him. A feeling of calmness passed by, like the feeling one gets after getting to relax on a beach on Sunday after a long week of working. It was a stark contrast to the intense feelings they both had just half an hour ago.
After their serene thoughts faded away, Sakura led Sasuke to their bed, which he heavily collapsed on. He went to sleep within seconds while Sakura sat beside him, still thinking about the euphoria she had felt during today. She knew it was time to let Sasuke rest but she knew that soon, she would have to get that feeling back again. Remembering Tenten's present, she smiled.
