Ino sighed pleasurably as she felt Sakura once again grab her hand and hold it. She was amazed that such a small touch could make her so happy. She had an almost undeniable urge to pull the pink haired girl into her lap and whisper her love for Sakura in her ear. The florist was so caught up in her revere that she barely noticed when Shizune returned to the fire. Sakura scooted closer and Ino realized she was shivering. "Saku, you look cold, come sit closer to me and I'll keep you warm." She suggested, winking at the pink haired girl who blushed. The medic in training nonetheless moved her body flush against Ino's, enjoying her body heat. The blond wrapped her arm around Sakura to make her more comfortable. She was vaguely aware of both her and Sakura's elevated pulses. "I love you." Ino confessed once again, only to be shushed by Sakura.

"Now is not the time." She replied formally, motioning to the Hokage.

"I'm not going to keep our relationship behind closed doors, Sa-chan. I hope you know that."

"I don't intend to either, just keep our relationship away from the eyes of the Hokage. Its disrespectful otherwise." Sakura explained quietly.

"You're so refined." Ino scoffed playfully. The blond smiled more, she pulled Sakura into her lap and nuzzled the other girl's neck. The medic in training squeaked and made a half hearted attempt to get away from her embrace. Ino wrapped her arms around Sakura. "Just relax for me." She instructed as she let her desire take hold of her body. Ino gently pressed her lips to Sakura's imploring the girl to kiss back. Sakura seemed to forget herself and kissed back. Ino pulled her blanket around her and her lover. Their tongues battled for a full minutes before they broke apart. They looked upon each other with flushed cheeks and wide eyes. They fought back mutual desire, until they caught their breath and then kissed again. Circumstance forgotten the couple kissed in abandon until the passion almost consumed them. Sakura caught herself cupping Ino's breast as her other hand gripped her bottom. She blinked a few times before her senses returned and she pulled away from Ino quickly. Ino sat up slowly, looking a bit dazed because she did not remember being pushed on her back.

Sakura looked around for Shizune and her master, finding them sitting side by side, silently staring into the fire. Troubled looks creased both women's features. The florist had regained some of her sense and was pulling her blanket around her body. "What ever happened to, not in front of the Hokage?" She asked smugly.

"Not now Ino." Sakura scolded, worried about the Hokage. "Lady Tsunade!" She called to get the busty woman's attention. Tsunade looked up, almost startled at the sudden noise. A soft smile curved her lips as she observed her apprentice's appearance.

"Come here Sakura." She instructed. The pink haired girl carefully stood and wrapped her blanket tight around herself. She moved and obediently sat beside her sensei. The Hokage smiled and raised a finger to brush across her student's bruised lips. "It seems you and Ino have finally reconciled your differences." She smiled wistfully. Sakura nodded sheepishly, looking to Shizune for help, much to her dismay the brunette was still distant. It was Ino who came to her rescue, simply by walking behind her and drawing her into an embrace from behind. Tsunade turned back to the fire and let her thoughts return to her attendant.

The blond really wondered if she could promise Shizune that there would be a relationship between them after they had sex. She admired Shizune's mind and personality but in truth she was more attracted to her body. That was not a solid base for a relationship. For years Shizune had allowed her to indulge in a few steamy kisses and other physical displays behind closed doors, away from prying eyes. Since she had become Hokage these intimate moments had become less frequent. It had become almost impossible to coax more then an innocent embrace from the younger woman, most of the contact they had was imposed by Tsunade not allowing her attendant to refuse it. She had never even considered that there would be more than a physical relationship between them. As she contemplated the possibility it began to seem more outlandish. Yet she knew that the need for Shizune's body would not subside without indulgence. She had to try, she had to attempt to give Shizune the attention she wanted after she had fulfilled her physical needs.

The Hokage turned to her attendant and nudged her. Shizune looked over, then turned to face Tsunade. They both opened their mouths to speak, but realized that the other was also trying. Shizune shut her mouth obediently. "Look Shizune," The blond began gently. "I can not guarantee that we will have a lasting emotional relationship after we have sex, but I can guarantee that I will try to give you emotional support and stability. I will try my damnedest to maintain a relationship between us. I really can't guarantee anything to you right now, I can't give you false hope but I swear to you I will try. I can tell you that I will bring your body pleasure, so intense you will hardly believe it. I can give you the power to realize the attraction that has been smoldering between us for years." Tsunade confessed all this as she stared deep into her attendant's eyes. The brunette lunged at the Hokage, her arms encircling the powerful woman. With her head pretty much buried in the crevasse between Tsunade's breasts, Shizune fiercely agreed let a physical relationship bloom between the two of them. With that milestone accomplished, Tsunade began to plot the road to the next one. She wrapped he strong arms her soon to be lover and began to think of how she was going to get enough privacy to make love to Shizune.

Ino couldn't help herself as she pushed Sakura to the ground, pulling her blanket open as they battled with their lips. Her body was pulsating with her need as she pressed it against Sakura's. She could feel her core beginning to secrete her arousal and she did not feel ashamed. She broke from Sakura's mouth to straddle her waist and gaze down at her. Sakura gazed back, her face a picture of purity, of innocence. The florist hesitated for a moment before gently intertwining her fingers with her lover's and held her hands against the floor of the cave. They shared a passionate kiss, their bodies writhed together. Now Ino felt Sakura's arousal through her panties, on her leg. Once again the girls parted, long enough for Ino to settle her thigh firmly against her core. Sakura mewled with delight at the pleasure generated by the movement of Ino's thigh. She pressed against it, her arms twitching as her fingers flexed around Ino's. The pink haired girl was relatively quiet, she mewled and whimpered with her pleasure but she didn't wail or cry out. Sakura was panting, grinding back against the blond girl bringing her pleasure. Ino ground her thigh hard against Sakura, feeling a gratifying gush of the other girl's arousal coat her skin again. Her lover was gasping as her body tensed, Ino could almost feel her muscles tightening. Within a few minutes, Sakura could no longer hold on, she cried out for the first time as her stomach muscles clenched and then slowly relaxed, only to clench again. Her orgasm lasted less then thirty seconds, after which she found herself completely drained. Almost unable to move, Sakura tugged Ino down to her lips and kissed her she mouthed the words 'I love you.' Then Sakura passed out. Ino pulled away from the girl, she removed her soiled panties and lay them by the fire. The florist carefully covered her lover with a blanket and removed her own underwear. With a blanket wrapped tightly around herself, Ino soon fell asleep as well.
