(I don't own any part of Naruto)

Chapter 9

Ino's vision cleared and she saw Naruto face, a few inches from her own. She managed to say his name. It worried her that her throat was so dry that she couldn't speak. Naruto moved his hand and waived it in front of her. She didn't react. She felt so thirsty, as though it would kill her.

As soon as she thought it she felt warm skin pressing to her lips. Ino blinked and her head cleared as a distinct smell invaded her nose. It was like cologne but on a whole different level. Without thinking she pressed her face into the crook of Naruto's neck. She suddenly wanted to drink in this scent. It was too enticing. Ino heard Naruto say, "Bite me Ino chan. Don't worry, just do it." Ino's tongue darted out to taste his skin. She tasted salt and sugar. Some sweetness teased at her. There was nothing for it. She bit Naruto. Warm blood gushed into her mouth. It only took a second for Ino to deepen the contact between them. Strength returned to her arms as she ran her hands up his shirt. Her hands ghosted over his chest.

Understanding slowly came to her as she drank. Only Naruto can satisfy me... "Master."

Naruto let Ino drink. She wasn't taking a lot of blood. If anything she was draining him of chakra. He felt Ino's hands creep up under his shirt. He tried not to think of her in an intimate way, but it was hard, so very hard. Especially since he had come to realize the degree of control he had over them. All the girls he could want were right here. They would gladly do anything he told them. It was maddening, trying to resist the temptation to become completely self absorbed. As he tried not to think of her or even girls in particular, he thought he heard a voice in his head.

Not the voice of Kyuubi or the vampire part of him. This voice was unmistakably female. He thought it was calling him. Naruto let himself drift inside his mind. An exercise that pervy Sage had once taught him. Then the voice came again, "Master..."

That jolted him out of his trance faster than he thought possible. It had been Ino's voice, filled with need and desire. Ino was still feeding and her hands were making small circles under his shirt. Naruto looked up. Sakura and the other girls were watching him. They were also watching Ino. But most of all they seemed to be waiting. "Waiting for what?" A word, an explanation, far too simple not to be true. The word popped into his head. "Harem. All of these girls. Ino, Sakura, Hinata, Tenten, Aumi, Shizune, Kara... They all -gulp- serve me now." Naruto felt Ino pull away from him. Her claws scratched lightly across his abdomen as she withdrew.

He could tell instinctively that right now...he could tell her to do anything. Anything he asked for, He would receive. Ino...or any of the other girls would jump to his command. They might even fight over who got to do it first. Something clicked into place in his head. "I have my own personal harem. A harem...me...Naruto Uzumaki. I don't want to give this up. I really like how things turned out.

From behind him Ino asked, "Master...is something wrong?" Her words sent a pleasant chill down his spine. He thought, Did she just call me master out loud. Kami this can't be happening. This is just an elaborate wet dream. I'm about to wake up in the lab with Shizune and I'm going to be cured.

Ino's question seemed to be the catalyst for the others to come in closer. Aumi and Kara crowded in next to him. The other girls did the same in a moment. Hinata taking her place to his left. Her hands encircling his arm and her head on his shoulder was all he needed to assure himself of his decision. He said, "Sakura, Get the door open." She smiled, "Sure Naruto." Sakura darted over to the cage door and as he watched...slipped through the bars. Once on the other side she opened the door with a well placed kick. She came back over saying, "Door's wide open...Master..." The way she said it was languid and very...enticing. Naruto blinked and smirked, "Ok everyone, we are going to leave here for now. First we need to get out of here undetected." Tenten volunteered, "I'll take care of the guards." She paused for a moment before adding, "Master." Naruto felt a surge of power at that. He grinned and turned to Hinata. He said, "Hinata chan, I need you to go with Tenten to find the quickest and safest way out of the village. Clear a path for us." Hinata nodded and stepped off the bed to go. Naruto grabbed her and gave her a kiss before she could leave. She blushed and smiled shyly.

Naruto watched her go. Kara asked, "What do you want us to do?" Naruto said, "I want you, Aumi, and Ino to gather supplies for at least a three day journey." Ino left with them as he finished speaking. Now only Sakura and Shizune remained. Shizune gave him a concerned look. She asked, "What are you planning Naruto kun?" He said, "I don't want to lose any of you so I decided that we should get out while we can." Sakura nodded, but looked a bit sad. Naruto caught the look. "What's wrong Sakura chan?" She glanced at the ground as she said, "Well, I really want to go with you, but I also want to be with Sasuke kun. I don't want to leave without him."

Naruto thought about it. He couldn't force Sakura to come with him against her will...Well he could but he wouldn't. But he also wanted her to come with him. Eventually he asked, "Which do you want more?" An agonized frown creased her face, but after a moment she said, "I want to be with Sasuke kun." Naruto let his shoulders slump. He said, "Well Sakura chan. I want you to come with me, but I won't make you come." He considered his options. "How about this. You can stay here...or you can convince Sasuke to come with us." Sakura seemed to disbelieve him, "You would let me stay here?" Naruto nodded.

She hugged him. Naruto let her do it, thinking that he probably wouldn't get another one. She said, "Wait for me Naruto kun. I'll go find Sasuke." He watched her hurry off. When she was gone Shizune asked, "Where will we go? We won't have much time to get out or get hidden." He scratched the back of his head, "I was kind of hoping that you had an idea of where we could lie low." She looked away from him, "I don't know Mast...Naruto. There are a couple of places we could hide, but I'm not so sure if we should leave..."

Shizune was looking away, trying to think of something that would sway him. She didn't think that it would be easy or smart to run. She had several ideas of where they could go, but she felt as though it was a mistake to tell him. Naruto must have sensed that she was holding something back. He stepped off the bed and walked the short distance towards her. He pulled her into his embrace.

Now that he was older, he was taller than her and she had to look up to meet his eyes. She craned her head to speak... Naruto kissed her on the lips. All of her objections to leaving were wiped away. She couldn't imagine being without him, without her...master.

Naruto noticed the sudden relaxing of her muscles. He reveled in the fact that he could do this with a simple kiss. She was at his mercy. Anything he wanted to do to her...he could do. And she would enjoy it... Naruto pushed one hand under the blue garment that covered her chest. He tickled her. Shizune's breath sped up and she put her head against his shoulder. After a minute he switched from teasing her ticklish sides to rubbing up and down around her breasts. With his hand still massaging her, he slipped in behind her. He softly bit her neck. His other hand reached down and pressed between her legs.

Her thighs pressed together, denying him entrance. He whispered in her ear, "Shizune chan, Open your legs for me..." A massive blush was spreading over her face, but she complied. As he tormented her with his hands he asked, "Where should we go Shizune chan? She whimpered, "Naru...to...I can...can't...mmmmm!" Naruto thought he understood so he stilled his hands and simply rested his head in the hollow of her neck. When she had calmed down enough she said, "There is a old bunker where the Lord of the land of Fire used to go in emergencies. It's not very far from the village...it's to the south." Shizune smothered a moan as Naruto bit her neck again.

Her legs wanted to go out. She felt like collapsing. Naruto continued to speak...in-between soft bites. "Can you take us there?" "Yes...!" He licked slowly up her neck, to the underside of her ear. He took the lobe in his teeth and nibbled. He released her saying, "That's great Shizune. Now we can choose a path through the village."

Aumi, Kara, and Ino returned to see Naruto sitting on his bed. Shizune was sitting on another. She looked disheveled. There were red marks along her neck and on her shoulder. Kara looked on enviously. Ino didn't think it was fair that Shizune got to have Naruto's affection before her. She had known him longer.

The three of them dropped three heavy packs by the cage door and half sprinted to Naruto's side. As they quickly established their places. Aumi took his right side. Kara crawled into his arms and Ino too his left. Naruto spoke, "We are going to head out as soon as everyone else comes back, but we should be gone within the hour." All of them knew, but didn't say, if they weren't gone by then they would find it nearly impossible to escape. Shikaku and or Inoichi would arrive shortly after that. Naruto just hoped that they wouldn't have to hurt anyone to get out.

Sasuke rolled over in bed. He had woken up three hours before his alarm. He had been trying to go back to sleep for at least two hours. Not too much longer and he would just have to get up. He stared at the wall. It was just barley starting to lighten outside. It was summer so it was still very early. Sasuke didn't know what the point of training today was. The rest of squad 7 was neck deep in vampire problems. Naruto was a vampire, Sakura was a vampire, Kakashi was out tracking down Jiraiya on Tsunade's request. The toad Sanin was in the land of stone so he wouldn't be back for a week or more.

He rolled onto his back and pushed his hair out of his eyes. Why does all this have to happen now. I thought that my life would become simpler if not easier. But this is one giant mess now. I can't believe what is happening. Sasuke felt a small hand tangle with his own. Then a warm body was pressing up to his. His head snapped to his left. In the dim light coming from the window he saw Sakura. He hadn't heard her enter or felt the bed shift under her weight. He hadn't even smelled her distinct perfume. Sasuke thought, "I must be dreaming. I would have sensed that she came in, besides she is in that special holding cell, under the Hokage tower. She couldn't have gotten out without being seen or reported."

It occurred to Saske to wonder why he was dreaming of Sakura. Or why this dream suddenly felt so real. "Did I fall asleep finally? I must have. I guess it's not so bad." Sakura snuggled in close to him, her soft skin touching off goose-bumps on his own. There was a ghost of warm breath on his neck as Sakura placed her head on his shoulder. Sasuke couldn't help but smile. This was the most pleasant dream he'd had in a long time.

He had dreamed of Sakura recently, but that dream had been different. Sasuke liked to think that he was a decent person. But that dream had been wildly inappropriate. It reminded him of Kakashi's little red book way too much. Naruto was very open when it came to his feelings. He probably would have laughed himself into a coma if he had told Naruto.

Sasuke was broken out of his trance by a soft kiss on his shoulder. He looked at her again. Sakura's green eyes were focused on him. She seemed to be asking permission. With her eye still on his she moved up, her lips trailing towards his neck. The hand that held his own moved to his chest. Sasuke thought, Maybe this is another one of those dreams? Sakura crawled over him. He could feel his pulse quickening. She bent down to kiss him. The moment their lips connected he knew...this...wasn't...a ...dream. He also knew that he didn't care.

He returned her kiss, wrapping his arms around her. Sakura's hands buried themselves in his dark hair. When she finally pulled away from him she was panting. She breathed, "Sasuke?" He smirked. She hadn't been expecting that had she. Sasuke rolled her over so that he was on top. He kissed her long and hard. Sakura moaned into his kiss. She pulled the strap on her top loose. The fabric peeling back. Sasuke drew back. He asked, "Are you sure about this?" She nodded and lifted up her arms. He obliged by pulling her shirt off.

With that removed she only had a bra on. He couldn't help but smirk wider. Had she been preparing for this? The bra had a clasp on the front. He used his thumb to depress the tab. The bra popped open, exposing her pale breasts. Sakura drew him back down.

Naruto waited ten more minutes. He was waiting for Sakura and perhaps Sasuke. It had already been nearly an hour. He could not delay much longer. If he did then they were all going to have to start over from scratch. And probably with added security and 24/7 guards.

He and the rest of the girls heard soft footsteps coming down the hall. Naruto figured it had been more than a half an hour since Sakura left. He waited for the owner of the footsteps to come into view. Naruto breathed a sigh of relief as he saw Sakura, leading Sasuke, come down the corridor. The Uchiha was looking very uncomfortable, but he was there at least. Naruto asked, "You coming Sasuke?" He nodded. He looked to Sakura, "Hey Sakura, Why'd it take so long to get him?"

Sakura looked at the floor, the walls, anywhere but Naruto or Sasuke. She was blushing red. Even more than Hinata did. Naruto didn't think that Sasuke was capable of blushing, but his cheeks did seem a bit pink. He decided that it was a mystery for another day. He said, "Let's go, Hinata first." They quickly left the room. Naruto saw no evidence of pitched battle along the way. But there were several unconscious bodies here and there. He correctly assumed that Tenten and Hinata had taken care of them. Soon they were all outside Hokage tower. It was really starting to lighten now. The sun peeking over the trees to the east lighting the village.

Their group quickly moved south. Hinata used her Byakugan to avoid both sentries an civilians alike. It was only a few minutes and they were out of the village's south gate. After they were out of sight of the wall, Shizune led them. It would be about a half day journey to the bunker.

Join the Harem. Go to exotic places...Meet beautiful girls...and bite them...Hehe. So there is the end to chapter 9. Please remember to review. And don't be afraid to critique, us writing types could use a little tough love sometimes.
