Chapter 17

A/N: For the humor of it all, maybe the third time is the charm. Hopefully, this is more like it. If there are any small grammatical errors, I apologize. A bit frustrating to look it over yet a third time. X_X

She woke up to ambient lighting, just enough to make her way around the bottom floor to figure out there was a bathroom there to which she took advantage of. She took a cold shower, thinking it would relax her, after she was worked up from her nightmare.

She went back to the bedroom wearing only a bath robe. Emiko joined Sasuke on his futon. "I've got a question for you. What do you think is in my heart? Goodness despite the evil that influenced me?" She prodded. Sasuke looked her in the eye. "I think it's the thought of Orochimaru lingering inside your heart because you can't shake the denial of being a mere tool. You're not evil and that is why you feel like there is hope for him to have some sort of affection for you." He spoke.

"Aren't shinobi tools Sasuke? That's how you see it, right?" She asked. "Right." Sasuke responded. "Then, how is it that I am not a tool to you?" Emiko quizzed.

"Are you full of so much doubt?" Sasuke shot back. "These days, I am." Emiko said, sighing.

"It's a hard time for me because I know that man made me into the kunoichi I am today. But, at the same time I don't own myself it seems." Emiko announced, swiftly grabbing at the tie to her robe and letting it fall open. "He takes over all of me." She motioned to her body. "But, it makes me feel accepted even if it is false."

'I've never confronted Orochimaru-Sama about my feelings. I have to make sure what Sasuke says is true.' Emiko thought that maybe if he blatantly denied it, it would give her the kick she needed.

Sasuke glanced over her nude and bruised body, before meeting her eyes again. Emiko grabbed Sasuke by the shoulders and pressed her naked body against his. "I've been thinking about you Sasuke, and can't see how you can hold out." She whispered into his ear. She slipped her hands under his shirt and pulled it off of his shoulders. She ran her hand down over his pants and felt his hardening manhood. "Are you not a man Sasuke?" She teased. "You're not someone who should make decisions on a whim." Sasuke commented. Emiko didn't allow him to say anything else, as she fervently pressed her lips against his.

"I don't know what you're expecting. But maybe you're used to having sex on a daily basis so it's eating at you." Sasuke commented. "Well, you're not Orochimaru." Emiko rebutted. "I'm not. But, are you wanting me to dominate you as if I were?" Sasuke asked.

Emiko stayed silent for a moment and kissed Sasuke's exposed neck, she slid her hands down his chest and slid the waist of his pants down. His hard length was slowly exposed, and she slid a hand over it. Sasuke gripped the futon beside him out of reflex.

"What makes you think I like the feeling of being dominated?" Emiko asked, quietly. "Just a guess?" Sasuke responded. He gripped her violet locks lightly and began to press her face down into his crotch. "What are you doing?" She asked, as her hands shot up to his hand. "Well, I've already told you that I'm not having sex with you, but if you insist of gaining some sexual gratification out of it, I won't stop everything." Sasuke announced.

"Well,I don't like what you're doing with your hand." Emiko argued. "So you don't want to do it?" Sasuke asked, his grip still in place. "No, so move away." She stated firmly. Sasuke released his grip on Emiko and spoke, "Remember, not to give only me that attitude."

He fixes himself so that his underwear are covering his manhood, and he brings Emiko close until she's sitting in his lap. "You really can't stand it if I leave my hands off of you, can you?" He asks. Emiko shakes her head 'no'. "Of course not. It's hard enough as it is to keep from stripping you down and pressing our naked bodies together." She spoke softly.

Sasuke takes one of her breasts in his palm and caresses it, while taking the nipple of the other in his mouth. Emiko let out a gasp, as the ache between her legs got more wanting. Using his free hand, Sasuke strokes Emiko's side and continues to brush his tongue over her nipple. He moves his mouth to the other breast and repeats the ministration before he plants kisses all over her upper body.

Sasuke leans forward and places Emiko on her back.

His hand slips down in between her legs and he places a couple of fingers into her core. Emiko mewled. He uses his other hand to caress her breasts and moves his fingers inside of her. He withdraws his fingers and places his head in front of her spot. He sticks his tongue out and flicks it over her hot core. Emiko lets out a soft moan.

"Do you still want me to continue?" Sasuke asks. "Please." Emiko begged.

Emiko looks at him with glossy eyes, full of yearning. Sasuke placed his tongue inside her core and searches around for her taste. Once he's accustomed to it he drinks her fluids, sucking and licking every drop that touches his mouth. Emiko's hips unintentionally buck, and Sasuke has to hold her hips in place, and she places one hand on his head, and the other on his shoulder.

Sasuke picks her hips up slightly. He sucks as hard as he can without causing her discomfort and reaches his tongue as far into her core as it can go. Emiko's grip tightens and she pushed Sasuke's head down as far as it can go, relishing every moment. Soon, there was a swelling in the pit of her stomach and her legs wanted to squeeze shut. Sasuke held on tight and showed no mercy. Emiko climaxed, drenching Sasuke. He nonchalantly leaned up wiped his mouth and planted a kiss on the top of the mound of her womanhood.

Sasuke laid next to Emiko and she reached down and grabbed his length of manhood. She squeezed tightly, causing Sasuke to moan. When she leaned down and suddenly engulfed his length in her mouth, his hips bucked and he let out a cry of pleasure. Emiko continued to wrap her tongue around his manhood, swirling it all around the circumference, down the length and back up to the tip. She removed her mouth and prodded at the tip with her fingers and stroked it firmly. She placed his manhood back in her mouth and continued to run her mouth along the length, up and down, going further with every sound of approval Sasuke made. She knew when Sasuke was nearing the edge, as he tried to stay composed, but ended up grabbing her head and forcing it down. Emiko took it well, although she wasn't expecting it and sped up the pace of her mouth and tongue.

Emiko and Sasuke made eye contact. Her cheeks became flushed, but she continued what she was doing. "Emiko, don't you dare swallow it." Sasuke demanded to Emiko's surprise. Emiko was expecting to perform the whole nine yards, Sasuke had a different perspective it seemed. Emiko pulled away as soon as he came to his climax. The fluids ran down her hand and she wiped them on her robe and tossed the robe to the side. Sasuke pulled Emiko to him and they lay in an embrace.

"After all the time I had been here, I never thought I would get close to anyone at all." Emiko confided. "I never thought I would do the same either. Especially with a woman. It's a hindrance if you have to worry about someone other than yourself." Sasuke mentioned.

"Once again, we share the same grounds Sasuke. But, I guess it would be weird for you to suddenly have a full out relationship with me already. You probably are still wary of me." Emiko spoke. "Wary of you isn't the issue...wary of what controls you, and what influences you is another thing. But, I'm positive you're stronger than what you're being." Sasuke commented.

"You believe I'm that strong?" Emiko questioned. "I do. But, do you believe you're that strong?" Sasuke asked. Emiko, rolled onto her back and stared up into his Sharingan eyes. Sometimes she wasn't sure how to read him. He definitely didn't wear his emotions on his shoulder, and apparently wasn't just looking for a quick fix. Therefore, he must have been looking for a companion.

"Did you know it works well when your girlfriend is like a best friend?" Emiko asked. Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "That might be kind of annoying." He commented, thinking of who in his life had used the title "best friend".

"Girl's logic is they can see me for a solid minute, then believe they are heads over heels for me. You would think it was just a young phase, but even the teens nowadays do it. Not that I ever tried to imagine an "ideal" woman for myself, but I don't like clingy girls, and I like a girl that can hold her own. Weakness is not attractive to me." Sasuke revealed.

Emiko swallowed, wondering if that was just a comment he threw into the air, or if it had more meaning. "It fit's your lifestyle. I should have the same standards from my rearing. I had to be strong after my parents left, and was quite the trouble maker for a bit." Emiko scoffed.

Emiko opened up first, spilling her most valuable memories. She recounted the day her parents abandoned her. Sasuke begrudgingly spoke of the story in which he saw the last of the Uchiha clan.

"It must've been unbelievable. I can imagine. But maybe, just maybe there is some truth unbeknownst to you about it all." Emiko stated. "Do you think it's really that complex? Or just black and white." Sasuke pondered. "There might be more to what meets the eye. That was kind of the case in my situation, although I don't even know the whole story." Emiko said.

"There is no rush with our situation though right?" Emiko asked. "Of course not. Just don't disappoint." Sasuke remarked. "I've got your back Sasuke, and you have mine. So, when the time comes I hope you're prepared." Emiko warned. "Have you not learned by now? I'm always prepared." Sasuke spoke. Emiko scoffed, then her scoff turned into laughter.
