The sounds of birds making their way about the trees as the day began woke the girls from their slumber. Temari stretched and yawned as her still sleepy mind took a few seconds to wake up. Her eyes still had a bit of the blur that waking up causes as she took in the morning light filtering through the trees. She knew they could take their time today. After all, they had agreed to take a day off of serious travel on the way to Sunagakure. The sounds of the forest were almost deafening despite the quiet people always said they found in the forest. When it was all you could hear it sounded so much louder. Sakura woke up slowly stretching and giving Temari a hug as they both sat there taking in the sunlight. The sun had only been up for a few hours and already it felt like it was going to be oppressively warm. Temari spoke quietly and in an almost sensual tone. "Remember that waterfall I mentioned yesterday? Well it's not too far from where we are, probably no more than an hour's walk. I say we take today off and spend it relaxing near the water."
Sakura yawned again before answering. "Sure that sounds like a great idea. Let's get going." Temari smiled and helped Sakura pack up camp. To Temari it seemed to go faster than usual, maybe because they both wanted to relax. It only took them a couple of minutes to get everything packed up and they were soon headed to the waterfall. There was no great rush to get there. After all they had the whole day ahead of them. The hour spent getting to the waterfall was relatively lively for the two of them. Having not said all that much to each other on the first day of the trip it seemed a little weird to Temari that they were now all of a sudden talking about anything and everything. Sakura had been talking about what she thought all of her former teammates were up to. "You know something Temari. I think that Naruto will end up becoming a far greater ninja than everyone thought he would. I hope that he finds someone to love him like I have someone who loves me. I know he will but it's going to take time for him to realize it. I find that, looking back at it now, it was so dumb of me to be chasing after boys, especially a boy like Sasuke. Tsunade had mentioned to me, while we were in a hot spring taking a break from training that love does not always have to be towards someone of opposite gender. That love can blossom anywhere and that you should take a hold of it when it does."
Temari smiled and laughed slightly as she spoke. "I think I caught my blossom this time. I couldn't possibly be any happier either. Tsunade was right when she said that. Before you came up to me when I was in Konoha, I had always thought that it would be somebody like Shikamaru that I would end up with. You've shown me a side of love I didn't really think existed for me." Temari paused a second as she realized where they were. "Looks like we're at the waterfall. Let's set our stuff down and go jump in. I'm dying to go for a swim. It's rather hot today." Sakura smiled and thought about how happy it made her to see Temari happy. They set their things down and Temari immediately took off for the water. Sakura sat down for a moment taking in the breathtaking scenery. The waterfall started about thirty feet above them, the rock surrounding the pool of water in a half circle. It was a nice, shady spot that looked great for relaxing.
Temari stood on the surface of the water not far from the base of the waterfall. The spray of the water felt good against her skin. Temari walked back to where Sakura was and immediately undressed. "Come on Sakura, get naked and jump in. The water's nice and cool." Temari said with a smile. Sakura laughed a bit at Temari's insisting tone. The laugh was of pure joy and happiness. It lasted long enough for Temari to walk right up to Sakura. Sakura looked up at Temari, taking in every line and curve of Temari's body. Temari smiled her usual smile of mischief before sitting down in Sakura's lap and removing Sakura's clothes. Sakura sat there, letting Temari undress her. A loving look was exchanged between the two of them as Temari finished undressing Sakura. They kissed and then Temari took a hold of Sakura's hand.
She walked towards the water and Sakura walked with her. The two of them, still holding hands, walked out to the middle of the small lake. Temari put her arms around Sakura and then kissed her. As they kissed they both let the chakra they had been using to stand on the water dissipate. The kiss continued as they were under the water. Soon after the kiss was broken, they both surfaced for air. The water was perfectly clear and a little cold to the touch at first. The two of them were still in a loving embrace when Sakura asked, "Hey Temari, hold your breath. I have a surprise waiting for you underwater." Temari smiled warmly and held her breath as Sakura took them both under the water's surface. They went deep enough that sunlight created a lighting effect unlike any other. Sakura took a hold of Temari and kissed her. This time though there was more to the kiss. Sakura had slid her tongue into Temari's mouth. Temari was surprised by how unusual and good it felt. Both of their tongues were soon playfully wrestling in passion. The last thing on their minds was the need for air. Right then all they wanted was each other.
They broke the surface a couple of minutes later, staring into each other's eyes as they did. They swam over to the shore, the sun creating sparkles of light as they disturbed the surface of the water. Not wanting to take the time to dry off, both of them laid down on the grass. Temari positioned herself above Sakura and kissed her. Temari's hand ran down Sakura's body stopping on her breasts to play with her nipples. She then traced a line down Sakura's body. This time Temari had something to surprise Sakura with. Temari let her hands wander further down Sakura's body. She merely teased Sakura this time. Instead of sliding a finger into her she gently traced around the opening. Kisses were trailed down the front of Sakura's body, stopping to tease each nipple on the way down. Temari wanted a taste of Sakura this time, and this time she wanted to taste her directly. Temari's hands moved down the inside of Sakura's thighs as she kissed lower and lower. Temari reached her goal and before really starting it all she traced the line her fingers had with her tongue. Sakura moaned and squirmed a bit at the sensation. She spoke panting, "J-just get in me already. All this teasing is driving me crazy."
Temari didn't need any more hints at what to do next. She slid her tongue inside of Sakura. The warm wetness felt good on her tongue as she started to play around inside of Sakura. Sakura moaned and held onto the back of Temari's head, encouraging her to go deeper. Temari did so and after that it did not take long for Sakura to finally come. The orgasm was accompanied by a sighing moan as Sakura's tense body relaxed. Temari took her time licking it all up, savoring the taste. Temari spoke after giving Sakura another kiss. "Your turn now. Surprise me Sakura, I want to see what you can do." Sakura smiled and they rolled over so that Sakura was on top now. Sakura immediately kissed Temari and slid two fingers inside of her. Temari moaned in pleasure and surprise. Sakura was being far more direct than she had the first time. Sakura was taking advantage of the things she had learned about human anatomy while studying under Tsunade. Temari was feeling more pleasure now than she had the first time Sakura and her had had sex. Sakura was stimulating several points of pleasure inside of Temari. Sakura kissed Temari passionately as she continued playing with Temari. Temari's moans were muffled slightly by the kiss.
Temari felt like she was going to come at any moment. Her whole body was feeling just one solid sensation of pleasure. Sakura pulled her fingers out and began kissing lower and lower. She stopped and played a bit with each nipple with her tongue. The kisses turned into a lick as she approached Temari's clit. Sakura finally slid her tongue inside Temari. Temari moaned in pure pleasure, her back arching a bit as she felt Sakura's tongue enter her. Sakura played with the most pleasurable part of Temari, licking at it and teasing it with her tongue. Temari managed to replicate the exact sound Sakura had let out as she finally came. Sakura too, took her time to enjoy Temari's taste. After doing so she kissed Temari, both of them letting everything mix all together in their mouths.
They both relaxed and snuggled for a bit afterward. Temari was the first to speak. "That was better than the first time I think. All I felt was pleasure and nothing else. You're amazing at this." Sakura smiled and said, "I'm not the only one of us that's good at this. You're just as good as i am if I may say so." Temari thanked Sakura and they both just relaxed. The day was wearing on, their activities had brought them to the point where the day had started to turn to twilight. Temari got up and went to get a blanket. She put it around the two of them as they snuggled. The rest of the trip would not take long as far as she could figure. Now she had to think of a way to top herself for the next time they had sex. That night under the stars was still a bit of a ways off, but it didn't hurt to be prepared.
They settled in for the night. A fire was started to keep them warm, even though they were doing that well enough on their own. It was mostly just to keep forest animals away at night. The quiet sound of the waterfall quickly put them to sleep, as did the tiredness from the sex. Both of them slept soundly right through the night. No bad dreams haunted Temari that night. Both of them slept in the comfort of the other. Sunrise took it's time, giving the girls what seemed like more time with each other in the world of sleep. As sunlight broke through the trees they both began to stir and wake up. They dressed and packed up camp without saying much and hurried in the direction of Sunagakure. Today was day for speedy travel.
Trees finally gave way to rolling sand dunes as they entered the Land of Wind. The sand, seemingly endless gave no signs of having been traveled recently. Wind blew across the sand, the first they had felt all trip. Windless days were rare here. Temari lead the way, following a trail that only she could see. She felt like she was finally back home. Sakura followed behind, slipping here and there in the loose sand. It was something she would have to get used to over time. The haze of the desert gave them a visual distance of only a few miles but Temari could already see the dark line that she knew to be the outer wall of her hometown. She broke into a slight run, yelling back to Sakura, "Come on we're almost there. I can't wait to be back home." Sakura smiled and ran after her. Almost home, that much closer to a night under the stars. Neither of them could wait for night to come.
(Author's note: This took forever to finish but I finally have it done. Homecoming and the night under the stars and this will be another finished tale. One last chapter to go. Read and enjoy. Hopefully you all look forward to seeing how this will end.)
