The Morning After

Sakura groaned as sunlight assaulted her closed eyes. A pounding headache impressed on her that she had way too much to drink the night before. The party last night was the last thing she could remember clearly. She took a deep breath as the rest of her body began to report in and alarms started going off in her head. She was on her stomach on something way too warm and lumpy to be her bed. It was soft and slowly moving. The slight movement of air informed her that she was naked. Then her lower body began its input. Her legs were cramping slightly as they were pulled up on either side of the lump beneath her. Her upper body had simply pitched forward against whatever she was lying on. Soreness in her groin area told her the biggest issue. A slight twinge of movement by her leg confirmed that something had happened down there and apparently was still happening. With her eyes still closed she began to lift her hips up to a slight pain as something slipped out of her. She ignored the small amount of fluids that followed for now. Her mind put the facts together and reached the obvious conclusion. She had drunken sex last night and passed out on top of the man she had done it with. Neither had moved since finishing as the man's 'morning wood' had been inside of her

The only comfort she could find right now is that in being on top she at least had not been raped. Afraid of what she would see, she gathered her courage and cracked open one bloodshot eye. She focused on tanned skin and golden blond hair. Three lines graced the visible cheek of her lover. Her eye closed in a combination of prayer and dismay before she opened it a second time. This time an open blue eye met her pale green one and she groaned as cruel reality set in.

She had sex with Naruto last night.

"Sakura-chan?" whispered the hoarse voice of her lover.

"What Naruto?" she answered after a good fifteen second wait.

"Um, could you get off me? I really need to pee," the blond said with a slight whine.

Sakura groaned as she lifted her head and examined her location. It was her bed in her room. She gingerly lifted one leg and managed to roll off Naruto to lie on her back. Her head pounded in protest along with most of her muscles. Once the world stopped spinning she opened up her other eye and noticed a quite naked Naruto staggering across her room toward the closed closet door. His toned buttocks glared white in the sunlight.

"Bathroom is the other way Naruto," she said in a raspy voice. She really did not want to contemplate Naruto thinking her closet was a carpeted bathroom and using her clothes hamper as a toilet. The blond turned and staggered slowly the opposite direction.

As Naruto was making his epically slow journey across her bedroom, Sakura brought a hand to her face to rub her eyes. The encounter of something dry on her cheek almost gave her the heaves but she forced it back. Her hands moved down her neck and found similar spots on her upper chest. The memories of the evening would filter in soon. She would always remember afterward what she had done on a bender in the past and this time would likely be an unfortunate memory soon.

Taking in the rest of her condition, Sakura knew she was naked. The soreness of her legs could be ignored for now. Her groin felt like it had been abused and she would be feeling that until she could focus enough to use a medical jutsu on herself.

'This is not going to go well,' she thought as she heard the toilet flush. The sink ran for a minute as Naruto washed his hands.

'At least he does have good hygiene. He always has,' she thought gratefully.

"Take a shower before you come out, Naruto," Sakura called. A grunt of a reply preceded the start of the water.

Sakura forced herself to sit up and groped about at the end of her bed for her robe. Once she found it, she stood and wrapped it about her naked body and staggered over to the bedroom door. The 'walk of shame' from her bedroom to the living room found a trail of clothes leading to the front door. Thankfully, the door was locked. An empty bottle of sake and one for a western drink called tequila were on the end table with her keys. She gathered both sets of clothes and made sure everything of hers was there as she headed back to the bedroom. Hers were tossed into her hamper in the closet while Naruto's were placed on the bed in clear sight. The shower stopped and she went over to the bathroom to wait as Naruto dried off.

When the door opened Naruto exited and she entered; closing it quickly before the blond could say anything to her. She went about her business taking time to use a healing jutsu on her sore nether regions before she reached over and turned on the shower.

Ducking her head under the water, she lathered up a washcloth began to wash. She made sure she was completely clean, twice before she started on her hair. She knew Naruto would be gathering his things and with luck he would act like a normal guy and simply run out before she exited the shower. Once she had dried off and put her robe back on, she opened the door to the smell of breakfast cooking. She lightly banged her head on the bathroom door and knew she would have to talk about this now instead of later.

Years of being on the same team meant that Naruto knew all of her favorite foods so she found a number of them waiting on the table when she came out of her bedroom. She had not bothered on dressing completely and opted to keep just her robe on over some panties and nightshirt.

She sat down and began eating almost mechanically. She ate about half the food before she leaned back and sighed. She looked up at Naruto who had sat there watching her eat. She flushed and pushed the plate away for now.

"So, um …" she said lamely.

"Yeah, um, this is a lot awkward," Naruto said in a low voice.

"Uh huh," Sakura agreed. "Do you remember much about last night? I got a big blank spot right now."

"Parts of it," Naruto said as he would not look Sakura in the face as he blushed and grew silent.

"What?" Sakura pressed as she was trying to get her memory to cooperate.

"It's embarrassing," Naruto said after a long wait.

Sakura's eyebrow twitched as she glared at her teammate. "Tell Me," she ordered.

"Well, apparently you get mean like Tsunade-baachan when you're drunk and you get really, really horny when you drink tequila," Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Uh huh," Sakura grumbled at this new information and gestured at Naruto to keep going with what he was avoiding.

The party for Ino's jonin promotion had gone long into the night. People began drifting out in pairs as the hour grew late. Shino and Kiba had left when the drinking began as alcohol was not liked by their associated partners. Choji slipped out early with his girlfriend and Shikamaru with his, the scientist Shiho. Neji walked a tipsy Hinata back to the Hyuuga compound while Tenten and Lee staggered off together later on. Naruto had stopped drinking once he was comfortably numb and nursed a cup for a long time. Ino hit on some random chunin and vanished leaving the remnants of Team 7 alone together at the bar. Naruto was ready to call it a night but it seems Sakura was more like her Master than anyone realized. She was downing sake like it would be banned to following day. In spite of her getting quite drunk she was in full control of her mental faculties. That would not do for the pink haired medic as she wanted to get wasted tonight. The problems began when the bartender tried to cut off the drinks.

After a talk by Sakura about how she could wrap his small intestine around his neck and still have it function just fine for weeks before a problem developed, the bartender pulled out the tequila. Sakura smiled beatifically as he poured both her and Naruto shots. Walking back to the table the pair was sharing, she set the drinks down. The blond was hesitant to try the new drink but Sakura 'insisted' i.e. threatened bodily harm. Naruto took the easy path and downed the liquid.

"Oooo, that's the stuff," Sakura cooed after she shuddered from the drink.

Minutes later, she began squirming and rubbing her thighs together as she was waiting for the bartender to finish pouring her third shot of tequila.

She looked over at her blond teammate and murmured, "There's my bitch." She stood and paid for the rest of the bottle as she sashayed to Naruto.

"Time to go, Naruto," she said in a happy tone. "We're going back to my place."

Naruto reluctantly agreed and found Sakura on his back. The girl whooped 'giddy up' as she held nearly empty bottles of sake and tequila in either hand. The blond trudged along as the pink haired drunk swigged alcohol from each bottle in turn.

Sakura's apartment was near the bar so it was not long until the pair was standing in her doorway. Sakura opened the door and set the bottles and her keys on the table next to it. She turned back to Naruto and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply.

Naruto's alcohol clouded brain was slow to react but his libido did. He was kissing the pink haired woman back with no hesitation. The pair made out on the open doorway for several minutes before Sakura broke the kiss.

She leaned her head into Naruto's chest and snuggled in a bit.

"My Naruto-kun. Not Ino's. Not Hinata's. All mine," she muttered into his jacket.

Naruto smiled at the drunken revelation until he heard what came next.

"I'm horny, Naruto-kun," Sakura cooed at him as she smiled up drunkenly.

Naruto's brain engaged at this point. Sex with Sakura would be awesome but drunken sex with Sakura had the makings of the last sex of his life before neutering.

"That would make me the happiest guy in the world, Sakura-chan. But not while your drunk," he said knowing he would never have a chance at sex with her again.

Sakura arched an eyebrow and pouted a bit. "Did you just tell me No, Naruto-kun?" she said in a slightly slurred voice.

"I really need to get going, Sakura-chan," Naruto said lamely trying to cover his refusal and tried to step back. Sakura never liked it when he told her no on something she ordered him to do. When she was sober it was painful enough but he figured he might be able to get away with it while she was drunk.

Naruto-kun," Sakura said with an edge to her slurred speech. "I said I am horny and you are going to help me with it. I want you bare ass naked in my bed because I tell you right now, I will not be happy if I wake up tomorrow without getting fucked."

Sakura continued by taking hold of Naruto's jacket in one hand and poking him in the chest with her other hand.

"If that happens, when I remember what happened tonight, and I will. I always remember eventually. When I remember, I will go into my panty drawer, get out 'Mr. Sakura', hunt you down and ass rape you with him until I am satisfied I think the stumps by the Memorial Stone would be a good place to do that."

Sakura paled at this point of Naruto's story. 'Mr. Sakura' was a sex toy that Ino had gotten her for her 17th birthday out in Tanzaku Gai. It was about eight inches long, an inch and a half wide and as pink as the hair on her head. The gift had come about after Sakura mentioned to Ino that she was still a virgin and in spite of all of her training with Tsunade, her hymen was still intact.

"Whoa, an Iron Hymen. We need to get that taken care of before Tsunade finds out you skipped that part of kunoichi training, Sakura," Ino said with a chuckle. Sakura growled at the thought. She had hoped that the rigorous training she received would make her hymen tear on its own but she had no luck there. As kunoichi are supposed to be fully trained in the sexual arts, her having an intact one would prove that Sakura had cut that part of the training by keeping her virginity.

'Mr. Sakura' as Ino had named it upon its gift to Sakura had defeated the 'Iron Hymen' within a week before taking up residence in Sakura's underwear drawer. He made one or two trips out a week after that to insure his victory was complete and he helped manage Sakura's stress levels a lot.

Sakura blushed an almost a Hinata shade of red as she realized what she had threatened Naruto with. Her inner self popped up in a dominatrix outfit sporting 'Mr. Sakura' strapped to the front of it screaming 'lemme at him' before she pushed it back into its mental box.

"Um, worry about that later, Naruto" she muttered as the jog caused her memories of the rest of the might to fill her mind.

Naruto decided that cowardice is best at that point and headed for the bedroom, shedding clothes as he went. Sakura smirked and slowly shed her own clothes as she sauntered to her room in pursuit of her man. She found herself pleased at his obedience and her own arousal increased. Naruto was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for her but there was one small problem in her eyes. The problem was a certain lack of enthusiasm in parts of Naruto.

'That will not do at all,' she thought.

She stepped up to the bed and rubbed her breasts and stiff nipples. Naruto's face was almost level with them and his eyes followed mesmerized. She reached out and guided his mouth first to one then the other to let him taste each.

"What do you think, Naruto-kun?" she asked in a breathy voice.

"You're beautiful Sakura-chan," he replied as she noted his enthusiasm was growing.

She dropped down to her knees in front of him and took him into her mouth. She had not skipped this part of training and knew exactly what to do. Her mouth, lips and hands teased Naruto for long minutes before he cried out and exploded. Sakura let him go free from her mouth as he sprayed his essence onto her face and chest while she smiled.

"Oh Kami, Sakura-chan. That was incredible," Naruto said as he gasped trying to recover.

Sakura grinned evilly as she stroked Naruto gently. Her hand glowed green as she pushed healing chakra into his member making it come back to life once more.

"Time for me to take care of my itch, Naruto-kun" she said in a happy voice as she prodded Naruto to move into the center of the bed and lie down. She moved up and lifted one leg over to sit astride Naruto. She quickly positioned herself on him and slowly sank down, taking him inside of her. She gasped lightly as he was comparable in size to 'Mr. Sakura' which pleased her immensely. She took a few seconds to adjust her position before she began to move up and down on Naruto.

For his part, Naruto was in heaven. Yes, Sakura was dominating him and took the superior position but his alcohol soaked mind was focusing on the more important thing; he was having sex with Sakura-chan! He could die tomorrow at her sober hands but now he could die happy.

Sakura was moving hard and fast on her man. She had a need and wanted her pleasure. Mere minutes after she started, her whole body shuddered and she threw her head back as waves of pleasure filled her. She dropped down hard onto Naruto as she orgasmed.

Naruto grunted as he felt his own orgasm blocked. He gasped as he found he couldn't. Before he could voice his dismay, Sakura began moving on him again even harder. She did not rise up as high so she moved along him faster and slammed down almost painfully. Her hand reached down to touch herself as she pushed for a second release. Only a minute later, she orgasmed a second time and Naruto felt he block lift as he was able to as well. He erupted inside of Sakura as she screamed her pleasure out as her body trembled and squeezed him. The intensity for him was greater than earlier and he grew faint as the alcohol and exertions called him to oblivion.

Sakura finished shuddering and fell forward onto Naruto's chest. She let her eyes close and as exhauster sleep took her she murmured, "Love you, Naruto-kun"

Sakura drew in a deep breath as the memories played out.

"I think 'Mr. Sakura' can stay where he is, Naruto," she said as her blush slowly faded.

Naruto nodded not really wanting to know at this time what exactly he had avoided.

On her part, Sakura was thinking about last night. Naruto was not all that bad looking. Sex changed things and her thoughts of him had definitely changed. She could not imagine Naruto as a lover a day before but now, in the morning after a drunken romp, she could. The dam had burst on thoughts she had suppressed for years. The morning after made all the difference.

"So now what?" Naruto said asking the loaded question.

Sakura looked up at her nervous teammate and smiled slightly.

"Well, we can't go back to the way things were before pretending this didn't happen. But some things can change I think," she replied as Naruto looked at her.

"What exactly did Jiraiya-sama teach you about pleasing women on your trip?" Sakura asked with a smirk.

End Notes: I found it had to write a lemon scene for Naruto and Sakura and keep them in canon character. Sakura is a strange mix of personality types from anime. She does not seem to be the most passionate but does have a deep seated love for Naruto. But whether or not she is IN LOVE with him is a point untouched in the manga. For this, I tried to imagine her as more a dominant one since she likes getting her way with Naruto. I portrayed her as a slightly mean drunk much like Tsunade. He might be powerful enough to destroy mountains in the manga by this time but to avoid Sakura's wrath he would end up quite submissive if she were demanding compliance. Not to say this would be the case all of the time but I think they would take turns in the top role depending on the mood of Sakura. A friend with benefits scenario ends this snippet for now.
