Chapter 7
A/N: Hi guys, hope you are still with me. I noticed the date a while back and it was my goal to make at least one update before this month was over. So I could say I've updated 2 months in a row. ;3 Then I forgot Feb only had 28 days. ^^; Luckily was almost done. I do have more coming that I'm in the process of finishing right now, but wanted to get at least 1 chap up before it turned March. =P
Disclaimer: I do not own naruto
Warnings: This chapter has a bit of forceful OroxEmiko, and some light SasukexEmiko.
Emiko felt her heart rate increase. She was feeling a bit nervous with Sasuke being so close to her. Blushing from the feel of Sasuke's breath on her ear, she turned her head away. "Everything you say just seems to be a bunch of crap." Emiko stated bluntly, successfully pulling her arm out of Sasuke's grasp. "You..." Sasuke addressed the female with a sigh. "are such a pain."
Emiko stared at the ground. "Sasuke, I believe I'm done here." She announced. "This is the end of our conversation." Emiko took two unsteady steps backwards before disappearing in a poof of smoke. Emiko was a mixture of negative feelings; distraught, confused, and doubting. The argument with Sasuke seemed to have affected her in such a way mentally that she was now tired. She couldn't believe that Sasuke would tell her such things. Didn't he have a shred of respect for the snake sannin? Emiko's worst fear that she kept putting back into the deep crevasses of her mind was that there may be some truth to it.
The kunoichi entered the hideout as silently as she had exited. Activity was dead, and it seemed like the hideout was an opposite mirror of how Emiko felt inside. However, after a few halls down before she reached her room, she felt a strong, familiar presence. She tried to ignore it and reached for her door knob when she was caught in the process.
"What do we have here, Emiko has finally returned to me." Orochimaru's voice rang behind her. "Orochimaru-sama." She greeted without turning around. "I was beginning to worry. I missed your company." Orochimaru stated nonchalantly.
"Ah, I apologize. I wanted to go out tonight, it seems I haven't been able to clear my mind since earlier." Emiko turned and flashed Orochimaru an apologetic look, before giving a deep bow.
"What is the matter my dear Emiko? Feeling a bit of pity for those from your village?"
Emiko nodded this as an affirmative, masking her true feelings for going out earlier. "Emiko-san, there is no need for that after all, you are were you belong, and you're very content am I correct?" Orochimaru's eyes displayed his eagerness of hearing the kunoichi's response. Emiko smirked at this. "Of course Orochimaru-Sama." She agreed.
"Nonetheless I find it a bit bothersome that you left without my knowledge, that's unlike you Emiko-san." The sannin pondered over this statement. Emiko's eyes fell to the ground and she slowly looked back up, determined to be honest. "Well, it's not necessary for Orochimaru-Sama to always know what I am doing right? After all, I'm always around Orochimaru-sama." Emiko spoke.
"Eh?" Orochimaru's voice raised slightly at the remark. He moved closer to the kunoichi, causing her to step back out of reflex and hit her door. "Come with me, my dear Emiko." The male shinobi demanded, causing Emiko to not hesitate to follow.
He lead Emiko into his private quarters and as soon as they were closed in he grabbed her around the waist, and pulled her into a rough kiss. "Since when did you decide to do things on your own accord?" He hissed.
"N-no, Orochimaru-Sama, it's just...I thought I would try something a little different today." Emiko spoke. "I also decided that after today, I would like to work with Team Hebi more often, instead of working solo." Emiko was staring into the sannin's golden eyes, as his fingers trailed down her chest and rid her of her wardrobe.
"Hm...I am not fond of this being done differently my dear Emiko, at least not when I am not aware. You're seeming to give off a rebellious feel. Something that I would expect from Sasuke-kun." Orochimaru stated, pinning her down onto the bed and sinking his teeth into the flesh on her neck.
Emiko let out a hiss. "But Orochimaru-Sama, Sasuke-kun is also special to you, yet he seems to do whatever he likes. So how is it a bad thing in my case?" The kunoichi asked.
Emiko must have asked the wrong question, because Orochimaru bit down even harder, sucking her neck. "My dear Emiko, you are not Sasuke-kun, but you seem to forget who your master is. You should thank me with your highest gratitude. You would not have become such a fine work if it weren't for me." Orochimaru said, gloating.
The male shinobi put almost all of his weight on the kunoichi below him, causing her to gasp, and nudge at him a bit. "Also, why is it that you wish to work with the others? You have been doing fine up until now." Orochimaru quizzed suspiciously.
"Do I not get a say in things as well Orochimaru-sama? I found that I have a new interest in it."
Orochimaru's hands ran over her body, and over her sensitive areas. "Hm, I can't seem to grant the type of independence you are wishing for at the moment. I think you should accept this without complaint. If I allow you what you wish for, you may continue on with this rebellious behavior of ideas and wants." He spoke.
"I thought I was different from the others, but you're being even harder on me than you are them." Emiko mumbled, not thinking of her words before they came out. Orochimaru however, heard them easily and let out a chuckle. "You forget you are mine my dear Emiko."Orochimaru hissed, his voice scolding.
Emiko did not like the tone of his voice. It made her turn her head away and try to inch away in fear of being scolded even more. Orochimaru wasn't intending on letting her go anywhere, as he grabbed her by the shoulders, immobilizing her and with a swift motion of loosening his robes he roughly thrust himself inside of Emiko.
Emiko bit her lips. "My dear Emiko, shall I teach you how to accept my decisions quietly and obediently?" The sannin hissed into her ear. Emiko just closed her eyes tightly, knowing how he intended to teach her. "The more you object, the more irritated I will become." He chuckled menacingly. Orochimaru pulled his length out of her and roughly thrust inside once more, and began a series of thrusts, each one with more force than the last.
Emiko clenched the sheets underneath her as the large warmth invaded her. She let out s small mewl of pleasure, but apparently that was not where Orochimaru wanted her, as he increased his speed, going deeper, and harder. The kunoichi's entire body now jerked with each thrust and she let out s short cry of discomfort. Orochimaru smirked and bit down onto her shoulder, sucking, as he kept up his fast, rough pace, eliciting more cries from the female. He grabbed one of her breasts, squeezing as he continued his ministrations. With each cry of discomfort or pain that was heard, Orochimaru only increased the roughness of the next thrusts.
Suddenly withdrawing his length, he demanded that the kunoichi turn over. Having hoped that he was done, Emiko opened her eyes, only to see a sinister grin dawning the shinobi's features. She hesitated a moment, only to get turned over by Orochimaru herself. "Get on your knees." Orochimaru demanded, and the girl although slow, followed instructions.
The sannin placed his hands on her bare bottom and pulled it closer to him as he thrust into her backside, causing her to let out an unguarded shriek of pain. "Tsk tsk Emiko-San, what did I say earlier?" Orochimaru questioned, thrusting to get himself as deep as he possible could in his new position. When Emiko did not answer his question, he gripped a handful of her hair and pulled her head back so that his mouth was next to her ear, and repeated the question.
"I—I'm supposed to be quiet and obedient..." Emiko muttered between thrusts. "Indeed, you are correct Emiko-San, but you seem to be having trouble doing that." Orochimaru teased, speeding up his pace. He moaned into Emiko's ear and sped up even more, his hips now hitting the kunoichi underneath him. Emiko's arms were getting tired, so she let her upper body fall onto the bed, while her lower half was still being held up by the sannin. She bit the covers to keep the sounds as muffled as possible. Orochimaru took this as an offer to thrust deeper into her tightness. Only after a few more thrusts, the tightness became too much as the muscles around his length clenched, causing him to climax.
He removed himself from Emiko and laid down on the bed. Emiko, was turned facing away from him, breathing heavily. "My beautiful Emiko." Orochimaru hissed, trailing a hand through the kunoichi's sweat drenched hair.
Sasuke sat in the darkness of his room against his bed. His head throbbed as he thought of the naïve kunoichi he had encountered earlier. He wasn't sure exactly what possessed him to reveal his thoughts on Orochimaru, but something had tempted him. Maybe it was because he pitied the kunoichi for being so dense. After all the things they had discussed he had figured out that she wasn't just one more person who couldn't understand his way of living.
He had got angered for a moment, but it soon disappeared once the kunoichi backed up her statements. To Sasuke's surprise she had earned a bit of admiration, although she had proven to be annoying in her denial of Orochimaru. Sasuke knew how the snake sannin ticked. Although he couldn't read his mind, he knew his maniacal thoughts, and knew that they were all simply pawns. That was the main reason that Sasuke kept his independence, not to mention that he felt as if he would easily be able to survive without Orochimaru, unlike those who clung to the leader.
Sasuke heard footsteps and looked up to see Karin passing by, who stopped when she was in front of his open door. She gasped as she noticed the Uchiha was sitting inside of his room. His red eyes, suddenly appearing in the darkness. "Sasuke-kun!" Karin greeted with a smile.
"Karin," Sasuke addressed causing Karin to tilt her head in question. "What did you think of the mission you had earlier? You know, the one you failed." He questioned. Karin frowned at this statement. "I didn't fail it! Technically...there were just some issues." Karin tired to defend herself.
"More like you just ended up embarrassing yourself. Figures you couldn't handle anything alone." Sasuke commented. Karin furrowed her brows. She couldn't take Sasuke making snide comments about her, but then again when did he ever really talk to her as a companion? Karin smiled, her face showing she had remembered something.
Karin stepped into the darkness of the room. "But Sasuke-kun, I think you should blame Emiko for that, after all she could have had better control of herself. If you had been in her place, something like that never would have happened." Karin placed her hands on her hips.
Sasuke stood up. "I don't think you're in the place to blame her are you? After all, Orochimaru is the one who assigned you the task, should you be complaining?" He asked.
"Well, n-no I'm not complaining. But just saying, I would have much preferred you. Why take up for her anyways Sasuke-kun?" Karin asked, a bit envious at Sasuke's actions. Sasuke took a few steps closer to her, causing her to step back.
"You probably wouldn't understand." The Uchiha commented.
"Of course I can! Sasuke-kun, why do you act like she is so important? There is nothing special about her, she is just a kiss up. And I bet she's probably kissed up to you too." Karin stated.
"Don't be ignorant Karin." Sasuke commented, placing his hands on either side of Karin's head against the wall behind her. "S-Sasuke-kun?" Karin gasped, her voice rising a few pitches. He watched how Karin's breathing seemed to increase as she became nervous under his gaze. Her ignorance reminded him of Emiko's denseness, but it sure didn't remind him of Emiko's demeanor around him. Karin was acting anxious and willing, as if she had always wished to be so close to Sasuke.
Karin hesitantly placed her hands on Sasuke's arms. "Sasuke-kun, if Emiko begins to works with us all more, who do you see as a better partner me, or her?" She asked. Sasuke scoffed. "You're helpful to have around with your sensory abilities, but overall Emiko would be a more capable fighter."
"What? Why do you say that? Just because she is Orochimaru-Sama's pet doesn't mean she is better!" Karin objected. "In this case it does." Sasuke stated. "At least I wouldn't have to be responsible for her in that situation."
Karin bit her lip at Sasuke's insinuation. "Why are you becoming so fascinated in her too? First Orochimaru-Sama, and now you."
Sasuke leaned closer to the kunoichi. "And you think you can compare? If that were the case, wouldn't Orochimaru be going crazy over you too?" He asked, leaning close to the female's ear.
"Maybe not for Orochimaru-Sama, but for you Sasuke-kun I'd be more than happy to try." Karin spoke. Sasuke chuckled. Karin would be the only one interested in competing, he was sure Emiko wouldn't have to compete with anyone other than himself, and she seemed to have already gained the upper hand when it came to Orochimaru's interests.
"Why would you do something like that? Just for the attention?" Sasuke asked, a tone of annoyance in his voice. Karin smirked. "Not just that." She spoke, removing one of her hands off of Sasuke's arms she reached for her jacket and unzipped it down a bit past her breasts, exposing her cleavage.
"But I'm sure you wouldn't get this from her. You think you may be interested in her, but I can change your mind." Karin said seductively, grabbing Sasuke's hand and moving it to her breast. A blush creeped across her face and she smiled at the Uchiha. "I've always admired you Sasuke. So I think that is something you should consider. Emiko never once took notice of you, at least the way I do." She spoke.
"What do you know?" Sasuke questioned the girl. Karin took Sasuke's hand and drug it over her nipple, letting out a moan. "Sasuke-kun," Karin said, her breath becoming hitched. "I'm not sure if I will be the first, but I'm sure I can be the best woman you've ever had. I'm yours to use as you please Sasuke-kun."
Sasuke pulled his hand away. "Heh, what makes you think I would want you in the first place?"
"Because the way you seem so concerned about Emiko, I'd imagine you want her in this way, but I want to prove that I'm better." Karin stated.
"Are you sure about that? Besides, even if I did want her, what makes you think you could satisfy me?" Sasuke questioned.
"Well, at least I understand you better than she does Sasuke. All she ever does is act like she's better than you and hates you!" Karin exclaimed.
"Understand? You think you can do something like that?" Sasuke questioned.
"Of course! Anything when it comes to you Sasuke-kun." Karin responded. "I think you're delusional." Sasuke spoke, causing the kunoichi to gasp. Sasuke's gaze met Karin's surprised stare.
"You think I'm easy taken, and you've just put yourself out so easily. If you're so interested in comparing yourself fine, but you really should know that Emiko would not have offered herself so randomly and easily. It's a turn off. Especially when you don't understand a thing." Sasuke commented, causing Karin's eyes to widen and her hands to shoot up to cover her mouth.
"Sasuke-kun, but why?" Karin asked, her voice getting louder. "I'm not interested." Sasuke spoke briefly, turning his head away and rubbing the back of his head to display his lack of interest.
"So, you think Emiko would be better than me?" The kunoichi asked, frantically. "Who knows? But I know one thing, she wouldn't be near as annoying. You can leave now." Sasuke spoke.
Karin bit her lip, biting back the anger as well as tears that stung her eyes. "Fine!" She shrieked, fumbling with her zipper to awkwardly zip up her jacket, before storming out of Sasuke's room, not bothering to look back.
Emiko lay there in the darkness, staring at the wall. She had yet to fallen asleep, mainly because she was not comfortable in the least. After Orochimaru's "punishment" she had just lay there stiff, and calm, waiting on the shinobi to fall asleep which he soon did. From then on she had simply been gazing at the wall in disguist. She felt herself began to get angry, but she couldn't just lay beside the shinobi that made her that way, because she would never fall asleep if she did.
Smoothly getting out of the bed, she went to use Orochimaru's shower, turning the water on nearly scalding hot she scrubbed herself vigorously from head to toe. She wanted to turn "Orochimaru's body" back into her own. She was frustrated. How could the one time she try to do something without Orochimaru's say end up so horribly? She received not only a lecture and a scolding, but also punishment as well.
She knew that Sasuke didn't receive punishment for anything he did, and even if Karin did something wrong, her punishment was of this nature. It was as if Orochimaru absolutely hated the idea of her being independent. Although she was used to obeying his orders without question, she still felt like she had a life of her own. Orochimaru hardly scolded her, making her feel most special out of everyone. He also claimed her as "his" which Emiko took as an act of protectiveness and possession, but she didn't know that the possession was to such an extent that she couldn't even act for herself.
Words rang through her brain from hours prior. "The truth hurts?" The Uchiha's calm voice echoed through her mind. She couldn't deny that she was attached to Orochimaru like he had stated. She had hardly ever been independent from him, which may have only lead to this problem worsening since it's the first time the sannin has seen such "disobedience" in his subordinate.
'A tool that will only be discarded.' Emiko clenched the cloth in her fist. 'That can't be true.' Emiko wanted to convince herself, but what Orochimaru just showed to her wasn't her "specialness", but his need for her to obey him. He didn't budge despite her protests, which weren't all out of place since it seemed like some of the others get to do things for themselves, some if not all of the time.' Why is he so cold?'
"Cold and calculating...?" Emiko whispered to herself. "Wasn't that what he said earlier?"
Emiko clenched her head in her hands. Why was this seeming to be true?
All of the ridiculous statements and comments the Uchiha had made, why couldn't Emiko say they were all lies now? Was she really only good enough until he created or found something better? According to Sasuke, it was very likely to happen since Orochimaru had been almost infatuated in Sasuke's well being before Emiko had came.
Emiko felt a bit sick to her stomach, she couldn't just shrug it off and admit the Uchiha was right. Maybe she had hoped that Orochimaru would secretly care for her. She cared for Orochimaru but how far did it extend? Emiko wasn't sure of herself being in love with the Sannin, but she knew she carried a high level of admiration and attachment to her leader.
The kunoichi may have been slowly growing adoration for him, mistaking his possessiveness for caring. She let the water deafen her. The more she thought, the more she found that Sasuke was right. Even though Orochimaru may take advantage of her body and act protective doesn't mean anything special. It doesn't mean that he cares. If he cared he wouldn't be so demanding to the point of making Emiko so submissive.
Emiko felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She bit her lip, drawing blood. Why was this just now dawning on her? How come it took her this long just to realize she had been overlooking all of the details and putting so much trust into her leader. Although one generally wouldn't have a good impression of a shinobi who kidnapped you and experimented on you, when there was no means of immediate escape you had to adjust. In the process of adjusting Emiko became more and more comfortable around Orochimaru with his countless praise, his touches that made her body on fire, and the fact that no one else received such treatment. With such a master on top of receiving the chance to become stronger, it seemed like Emiko actually didn't have it so bad here compared to living alone in her own village. But it was all just a nice mirage of what was really going on inside the Sannin's head.
Emiko stepped out of the shower, drying her body and leaving her hair wet. She walked back into Orochimaru's room, stopping a moment to see if he was awake. Upon confirming he was still asleep, she grabbed her clothing that had been carelessly discarded on the floor. She cringed at the thought of putting it on again, as it only reminded her of earlier, so she stepped out into the hallway wearing only a towel. With no concerns she trotted to her room and changed into a pair of tight fitting shorts and a top that showed off her stomach. Equipping a few weapons she began to trek through the lair, almost on the complete opposite end, wanting to distance herself from Orochimaru's room.
The sannin would probably be irritated once again if he found Emiko missing, so she had to be careful. As she walked, she kept her gaze on the ground in front of her. She passed by the parlor room and felt as if someone were watching her. Emiko suddenly spun around with a kunai in hand, only to have her wrist grabbed mid-air. "Uchiha!" Emiko gasped, withdrawing her weapon and giving him an awkward smile.
"You even draw weapons in your own hideout?" He questioned, causing Emiko to laugh. "Yeah, a bit crazy I guess. I think I'm just a bit defensive is all." She explained.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the kunoichi. Emiko averted her gaze not wanting to elaborate. "How did Orochimaru take your disappearance?" Sasuke questioned, causing Emiko to gasp. His voice was low, just loud enough for her to hear. It was as if Sasuke knew Orochimaru wasn't going to have a pleasant response.
Emiko flashed a strained smile. "I guess you're looking for me to say, you were right, huh?" Emiko replied in a voice just as low.
"Not necessarily. But I guess something did happen." Sasuke spoke, his arms crossed. Emiko turned and began to walk away. "If you want to say that. I'd rather not be here at the moment though, so I'm going to get away for a bit. If you want to follow me to tell me that I'm dense again, I don't care." Emiko stated as she headed for the nearest hidden exit.
"I would hope you realize that without me telling you." Sasuke spoke. There was the sound of slow footsteps down the corridor which alerted the two shinobi. Both of them swiftly disappeared out of the exit without another word.
"I wonder who that was." Emiko spoke, breathing heavily. She had gotten startled. "Most likely Kabuto." Sasuke said. "But you do know if Orochimaru wasn't happy then, he surely won't be happy now."
"I know, I know. Less talk, more walking." Emiko spoke, tugging on Sasuke's arm. "If you're coming, come on." Emiko said, dashing away in fear of still being spotted if she was still close to the hideout. She ran until she was a decent ways away from the hideout and shrouded in the forest. Looking behind her she figured Sasuke decided not to follow until she pushed through the next set of brush only to see him standing in front of her.
Her eyes widened, surprised to see him standing there. "And I thought your senses were sharp." Sasuke commented, noticing her expression. "T-they are, it's just I haven't settled down yet." Emiko explained.
"Why so anxious? What happened with Orochimaru anyways?" Sasuke quizzed. Emiko sighed. "You made me look like an idiot who doesn't know anything, and he proved it." She said. Sasuke was silent.
"I'm not even sure what to think anymore. Who would have known you were right? And you just suddenly spewed out all of that it was just hard to believe." Emiko stated. "Well, there was no use in being indirect about it. I know the truth, so it's only reasonable that you do too." Sasuke responded.
Emiko smiled. "It's still a bit unbelievable." Emiko was in front of them leading the way through the forest. Ironically she lead the to the spot where Sasuke saved her earlier that night.
"Have you even slept?" Sasuke asked, noting that it would be dawn in a couple hours. "No...how about you?" She looked over at the Uchiha. "No. I was actually a bit curious as to what was happening with you. I wondered if anything I said sank into that thick head of yours." Sasuke admitted.
Emiko pouted. "No need to make fun of me. I couldn't sleep, but it was a bit hard considering who I was sleeping next to."
"Sleeping next to? Now you're admitting what you're doing with him that you think is such a secret?" Sasuke questioned.
Emiko blushed. "It's not like that...you were right, but it's not like I wanted to this time! I really just wanted to be alone, but I made him unhappy." She spoke quietly.
Sasuke looked at her curiously. When she was silent for a few moments he just sat down on the ground and laid back, his gaze toward the sky. "I take it you want to know what happened?" Emiko asked, feeling Sasuke's curiosity despite his lack of words.
"Mm." Sasuke grunted affirmatively. Emiko sighed, pondering where to begin and simply decided to just give out the details as they came to her. "Well, of course he was angry that I disappeared without notice and when I mentioned that I usually am always with him and this was a first and should be okay." Emiko began.
"I also told him that it wasn't necessary for me to let him know each and every time and I think it set off his anger big time. When he got me in his room he said I was doing things of my own accord." Emiko continued. " That does not surprise me, after all it doesn't seem he really cares about your wants." Sasuke spoke.
"I told him it was just something done differently today and I also would like to work with Team Hebi more. He rejected both of those ideas and said I was being rebellious, like you would be Sasuke." Emiko said, sighing.
Sasuke scoffed. "Of course. I won't be caught in his circle as a puppet. But I am sure it didn't give you a good impression."
"No...and well he basically told me that he is my master and I get no say in anything. I tried to rebut a few times, but it was useless...all he did was tell me I need to learn how to obey quietly, and that's when he tried to "punish" me in a way that would be hard for me to remain quiet. It's not that he's never been a bit forceful, but this was the first time it was actual "punishment"." Emiko Stated, taking a breath and slowly sliding down onto her bottom.
"I hope you aren't giving details because I don't want to be disgusted." Sasuke spoke snidely. "No...but you can imagine it didn't go too well and so I didn't sleep after that, then tried to scald and scrub my skin off before I ran into you. I didn't know feeling like a "tool" made you feel dirty and upset." Emiko commented. Tears stinging her eyes.
"Well, are you still having doubts about what I said now?" Sasuke questioned. Emiko shook her head 'no'. "Not at all, but it's just hard to accept. Why did you even want to tell me that? Why didn't you just let me go on and continue to be dense and used for Orochimaru-Sama's best interests?" Emiko turned towards the shinobi with a puzzled look,trying to hold the tears in, but one escaped down her cheek.
"Because, I felt you were pitiful. It was a bit frustrating pretending not to know anything, when you were being so dense, truly ignorant." Sasuke spoke, staring at the sky. "Way to make me sound horrible. That doesn't sound very considerate either." Emiko frowned.
"I felt that you were in a place I once was, except you are captivated by Orochimaru and swooned by so many false treatments. He promises you that you will be the best, but he only cares about himself. And the way you seem to be so attached to him, it's obvious that would be hurt the day he decides you're useless to him." Sasuke said, his eyes wandering over to Emiko.
"I still don't understand why you'd even care. It's not like I've ever been considerate to you for you to be that way to me." Emiko mumbled, drawing her knees up to her chest.
"You already asked me that question. I don't feel like answering it again." Sasuke commented, sighing.
Emiko thought about their talk earlier. "Sasuke, what did you mean I'm different from the rest?" She asked, sniffling.
Sasuke smirked. "You're asking every possible question, I figured that would be next. Well, in short I mean you're different from most people and girls I meet. Most kunoichi I meet are automatically infatuated with me the moment they see me, and they never want to leave my side. You weren't like that in the slightest. Also, you weren't a person who just assumed they knew everything about me and could understand the things I felt. You actually proved that you know what some of it feels like."
" I see...I guess it would be annoying that you have to deal with girls being all around you no matter who you meet. You don't seem like the type that enjoys picking up random girls for a night." Emiko spoke, chuckling.
"Just because I don't like random girls does not mean I don't like girls at all." Sasuke responded. Emiko wiped her eyes and titled her head. "What does that mean? Could it be that you like a girl you know? Karin?" Emiko asked, almost incredulously.
Sasuke didn't look impressed. "No." He said flatly. "And the reason why I don't seem to like girls is because they are all uninteresting to me."
"Oh? Even me? You seem to not mind talking to me for me to be uninteresting." Emiko teased. Sasuke sat up, facing the kunoichi. "You're the exception. You are interesting." He said, as he leaned close to Emiko's ear. Emiko gasped. "What do you mean?" She asked, confused. Sasuke's breath was hot on her ear, and soon she felt Sasuke's lips warm against hers.
Emiko's eyes widened as she pushed him at arms length. "S-Sasuke?! What do you think you're doing?" She stuttered. "Just checking something." He responded. "U-Um are you even thinking correctly? Do you know what-" Emiko began to question his coherency. "Of course I do, baka." Sasuke chided.
Emiko gazed at Sasuke, who gazed back with an amused look. He placed his hands on her shoulders and she didn't resist or move, only stare at him curiously. He leaned forward and captured her lips once more. Although this was strange for Emiko, having only kissed Orochimaru, it didn't feel bad. Instead of the usually hungry, strong, feverish kiss that always lead to something more, she was experiencing a more experimental kiss.
Surprisingly, Sasuke's lips were warm and soft, causing Emiko to feel warm just from the contact. Emiko hesitantly kissed him back, and he moved his lips from her mouth to the top, bottom, and sides, of her neck. The kunoichi moaned as the shinobi gently sucked at various spots. She placed her hands on his arms, and tilted her neck up a bit. The soft ministrations felt very pleasing, and Emiko didn't even consider the possibility of marks being left behind.
This time Emiko initiated the kiss. The careful touches feeling very refreshing. Sasuke kissed back trailing his tongue across her lips to see what reaction he would receive and received her opening her mouth and pulling him closer. Emiko grabbed Sasuke's hand, trailing it across her stomach.
"Sasuke..." Emiko breathed. "I know I also joked before about you wanting to do perverted things to me, but now I really don't mind."
"If you haven't figured out by now, I think of you differently than I do other girls, besides do you have any clue what you're saying?" Sasuke urged.
"What? But didn't you kiss me so you could lead up to that?" Emiko questioned.
"I'm not Orochimaru." Sasuke seemed almost offended. "I don't have any intention of that, I just wanted to test what I really thought about you."
Emiko looked at him as if he were insane. "Did you seriously not have anything perverted in mind?" She quizzed. "I didn't. Besides, it would definitely be too awkward for you with what happened to you earlier with Orochimaru." Sasuke admitted.
Emiko smiled. "I really appreciate the thought Sasuke, but I'm fine about that now, I just need another one that's more refreshing. So please Sasuke, don't stop." Emiko begged for more.
Sasuke sighed. "Unfortunately, I don't feel like doing that."
"Fine..." Emiko spoke feeling a bit awkward. Sasuke got up, and Emiko did as well. "Besides, I find it a bit disgusting for you to want me to do that in your state of having being scolded and taken advantage of." Sasuke stated, causing Emiko to look at the ground. "Oh, sorry...I wasn't really thinking...it just felt good at the moment. Let's just forget about this okay?" Emiko announced hurriedly, feeling embarrassed.
Sasuke didn't respond to her comment. "It's almost dawn. You should get back soon or else you'll get it worse the second time around." He said. Emiko took a moment to process his statement before nodding.
When Emiko got back to the hideout, the first person she ran into literally, was Karin. Karin grumbled, glaring at the kunoichi. "Karin." A voice spoke behind her. Karin turned to see Sasuke standing there. She jumped in surprise. "Sasuke-kun!" Karin cooed. "Karin," Sasuke spoke seriously. "I need you to tell Kabuto that Emiko was with you for a couple of hours."
"What?" Karin asked, confused. "Why do I need to do that? She wasn't!"
"I know she wasn't, but that's what I want you to say so Emiko won't get in trouble for leaving by herself at night." Sasuke stated.
Karin pouted. "What do I get out of this? It's not like I want to help Emiko out."
"If you're smart you will do it." Sasuke spoke. Karin sighed. "Fine, if you say so. But I wish I got something in return."
"Don't be delusional." Sasuke spoke, turning and walking away from the two kunoichi.
Karin looked at Emiko and raised her eyebrow. "Don't just stand there. Come on."
