Chapter 22: To Killing and Drinking

"Itachi what did you think you were doing?!" Pein shouted as he slammed Itachi against a wall, "Now the Five Powers can confirm our existence and attacking one of them won't help us receive more missions."

"I was handling some family business," Itachi said calmly despite the gravity of his situation, "and beside one of their Jonin, Kakashi Hatake, seemed to already know a bit about us."

"What?"

"Yes it seems we a fly on the wall," Pein released Itachi and motioned for him to continue, "It's obvious that one or more of the higher ranking members in our organization has turned."

"We can't have a slip ups as our goals come closer to fruition, we'll have to clean house Zetsu!" a large venus fly trap rose out of the earth and opened to reveal a man with green hair and yellow eyes. His feature were made stranger due to the fact that half his bdy seemed to be pitch black while the other was completely white.

"Yes What do you want?"

"I need to check in on all our members," a dangerous light filled Pein's eyes, "we're going to be cleaning house very soon."

No news, that's what she had received, no gossip, no rumors, not a scrap of anything. Her prison guard refused to tell her anything hell, he refused to say anything. But what was worse than not knowing if Naruto was fine was the fact that if he lost his life, it would have been because he had saved hers. Of course that thought just made her angry, "Stupid idiot, stupid dumb fucking moron jumping in the way."

She beat her fist against her cot, cursing the blond idiot that decided to save her life. Eventually the anger drained away after she beat the shape of her fist into the cot. The small bit of luck that had come her way was her new cell, which for all intents and purposes was the same except she now had a barred window to look through, but either than that still a room with locked door and cell inside it. Of course after two weeks without fresh air it was a very welcome change, "Even dying you still help me out don't you shit head?"

"I also bring lunch," Tayuya's head perked up as the door to her cell opened up. And in walked the blond haired idiot she had been cursing with every foul swear she knew not ten seconds ago, "aren't I just the nicest guy?"

WHAM!

"OWW WHAT THE FUCK!?" Naruto held his nose with one hand and placed the trays down with the other. As the pain subsided he turned back to Tayuya, "does it look broken?"

WHAM!

"OOWWOOOHH okay it's definitely broken now!" Naruto tilted his head up to stop the bleeding, as the bones and cartilage knitted themselves back together. Once he felt the pain subside again he stood well outside Tayuya's reach, "Have you got it out of your system?"

"…I don't know," Tayuya's fists trembled as she coped with a swell of new emotions running through her, "this is new for me."

"What is?"

"Being happy to see someone," Naruto laughed in relief as he walked back into the zone of her fist, "Tayuya-"

WHAM!

"NNNRRRGH! OHH! YOU!" Naruto held his nose wagging a finger at her and then beating his fist against the bars for lack of anything better to do, "MMPH! MMHM! Okay, okay, okay do you feel better now?"

"…Not yet."

"Well I think three is enough, don't you!" Naruto said as he felt his nose heal again.

"Shithead…" Tears welled in Tayuya's eyes but she refused to let them fall even as small sobs began to rack her body. She wiped her eyes but when he wrapped her arms around her, the walls broke. Too ashamed to cry in front of anyone, even him, she buried her chest and let it all out. The suffocating guilt, her anger, her complete and utter relief to see him walk through those bars was all let out in her tears and sobs.

"It's nice to know you care," it really was nice, even if this was the third time he found himself consoling a girl. On second thought holding a girl in his arms wasn't so bad, "I'm right here."

Eventually everything was let out and Tayuya pushed him away. Tayuya sniffed as she dried her eyes, "Yeah well don't get used to it asshole, making me fucking worry like some god damn mother hen." The last bit was muttered under her breath, she didn't like all that touchy feely crap.

"What was that?"

"Said I'm starving," just to punctuate the statement her stomach chose that moment growl, "See, so what'd you bring me?"

"I think you'll enjoy this," grabbing a small table Naruto set it down in front of Tayuya and then he set one of the trays on the table, "You're lucky the guards like me now or else they may have said no to this." The smell was the first thing that struck Tayuya, the strong salty aroma wafted into her nose and the smell, that smell from so long ago, the day she took her freedom.

"…Finally…I'm free…miles away…hehe…" the young girl placed her sack down and leaned against a tree to catch her breath. It had taken her awhile, enduring those bastards torture and humiliation, but biding her time had payed off and now looking up at the star filled night sky she couldn't help herself, "HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'M FREEEE YOU HEAR THAT YOU DEAD FUCKS I'M FREEEE! TAYUYA IS FREE HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

After so long in a cage, so long with nothing but anger and hope, but not anymore now she had more than hope so much more.

GRUMBLE!

"I'm hungry? Yeah I'm definitely hungry," unwrapping the large sack she had made off with she rifled through some of the food she had taken. Canned food? No those had to last her. Fish? Ugh it's not even meat. Vegetables? Yeah like that fat bitch even knew what a vegetable was. Fruit? Way too sticky. "Come one there's gotta be something in he-hmm? What's this?" At the bottom of the sack was a small box, "but when did I-oh that's right that rich bastard was bragging about some delicacy, that's gonna be hard to do without a throat." Pulling out the box she opened it up and immediately drooled at the smell salty, strong, the undeniable smell of beef. Opening up the box she looked down at a big slab of marinated beef, "Now this is a first meal."

Pulling out one of the pans she swiped from the kitchens she started a fire. Once the pan was heated she set the slab of meat down on the pan, the meat sizzled and she held back the urge to take it off the pan and tear into it like a starved dog. The smell wasn't helping any as it made her drool even more that she already was. Throwing on a couple of vegetables for good measure Tayuya sat back and waited for her dinner.

"Man why do the stars look so much prettier tonight?" Of course she knew why, how could she not, and it wasn't just the stars. The breeze in the air, the smell of the flowers, the sounds of the forest, hell even the dirt beneath feet felt a hell of lot better, "Never thought I'd be so happy about dirt and meat!"

Finally cooked and ready to eat she placed the juicy looking steak on her plate. Cutting off a small piece she took a big whiff first, "First meal of the rest of my life."

The smell, the flavor, the taste, the texture. Delicious, scrumptious, delectable, mouth-watering, yummy all of that was in her mouth in a complete and utter orgasmic bliss of pure beefy flavor, "Oh thank you dead fat man." Tears welled in her eyes out of pure joy and heart-breaking sadness as she was forced to swallow the heavenly morsel. She stuffed another piece into her mouth savoring the tender meat, "Sho good."

"No way shithead," she quickly uncovered the tray and found a big fat juicy looking steak and a side of vegetables.

"Pretty sure it's not exactly like the one you ate, but it did come from the best steak house here in the village," Naruto said as he uncovered his own steak, "but I thought we'd celebrate your rescue and your release."

"My release?"

"Yeah I asked to be the one to tell you," Naruto said as Tayuya began to dig in to her steak, "the squad captain, Shikamaru Nara, put in a good word for you-"

"Oh god it's even better." Tayuya moaned as she ate another piece of steak. Naruto couldn't help but look on as Tayuya enjoyed the steak, really enjoyed the steak. He'd never seen anyone eat a steak the way she was, every bite elicited a deep moan, her small pink tongue would dart out licking the juices from her lips.

"Oh god."

Naruto cleared his throat as he went on, "Any way after a bit of negotiation the new Hokage agreed to let you out, provided you tell us everything you know and serve a bit of community service."

Tayuya nearly choked on the meat as she heard how little she had to do, "Take it slow Tayuya, don't choke."

"I can handle it, but damn shithead wish I had you watching my back all these years."

"Well I'm watching it now," as the blush burned on Tayuya's cheeks, Naruto realized what he said, "Not like that uhh I meant that I'm watching you, no that sounded stalkery...I'm looking out for you, yeah that's what I meant."

"Wow shithead you know how to make things awkward," Tayuya laughed as she lifted another piece of steak to her mouth.

"It's part of my charm?"

"So you're trying to charm me now?" Tayuya asked before she swallowed another piece of steak.

"What? No, I'm just trying to be, you know, cute," Naruto said as his eyes watched Tayuya devour another thick cut of meat.

"Well its working," Tayuya teased as she finished the last bit of her against the wall she rubbed her stomach happily, "Ooh that was good, wish I had more."

"Wow you really love meat don't you?" Naruto chuckled as he pulled out a bottle of liquor and poured them both a glass.

"Yeah I love how it tastes," Tayuya said as she took a sip from her glass, enjoying the small burn down her throat, "Mmm this stuff to, I love the way it feels going down my throat."

"Well you did get drunk off your ass the first night you escaped to, didn't you?" Naruto said as he took swig from his own glass his steak forgotten, "Thought we could do it to celebrate you being freed, a second time."

"There's other things we could do to celebrate," Tayuya said as she set down her glass and slowly walked to Naruto's side, her hips swaying with each step, "plenty of things."

Naruto could feel heat creeping up his cheeks as Tayuya leaned in close, her warm breath tickling the nape of his neck, "Tayuya what are you doing?"

"Taking your meat," Naruto's brain short-circuited as her deep, sultry voice pervaded his ears and did pleasant things to him, very pleasant things.

Once he finally found his voice Naruto tried to regain his footing, "That's…pretty forward."

"Not really," Tayuya's head nodded towards the table, "I'm actually taking your meat." Naruto looked down at the table to see his steak on Tayuya's tray as the red head broke out in giggles, "Jeez shithead keep it in your pants will ya."

Naruto shook as his head at her antics, and crossed his legs, "Yeah right like I could even get it up around you."

"Why're your legs crossed?"

"…Shut up eat and your steak," Naruto said as he took a healthy swig from his glass, "come on shithead, if I couldn't distract a teenage boy with my charms I'd be a pretty bad konoichi." He had to give her that, all the kunoichi he'd met were easy on the eyes. Naruto was half way done with his glass as Tayuya polished off the steak and couldn't help his chuckle as he watched the unhappy look on Tayuya's face, "Come on Tayuya don't look so sad, we've still got the booze."

"Thanks for this, for everything shithead," she really did luck out meeting him, now she had her freedom and someone to spend it with.

"You don't have to thank me, when the hit squad was trying to kill us you didn't run you cursed at them, more importantly you trusted me," Naruto said as he filled Tayuya's glass up. Tayuya looked down into her drink a bit startled at the girl staring back at her, she actually looked content, "reminds me of the times I used to sneak into Orochimaru's personal kitchen and steal a couple bottles, kukukuku I'll be glad when that fucker's dead."

Attributing his next thought to the liquor Naruto raised his glass in the air, "To killing and drinking, let's never do them at the same time."

"To killing and drinking!"

CLINK!

The two sat there and started trading stories again. She'd felt awful things in her life, been in terrible situations, but this, with him, felt right. Ever since they met she wondered why he was so easy to talk to, but now she didn't care. What she felt for him was something good, she knew enough bad to know that, and just like everything she wanted she was going to take it. "So what do you think?"

"Wow that is a horrifying story," Naruto said as he reached over and took the knife away.

"That's how I found out how to make a man talk quickly," Tayuya said taking a sip from her glass, "cut off his foreskin, that way he knows you'll cut the rest off."

Desperately needing to change the suspect and seeing that the bottle was half gone he decided now was the best time to tell her the news, "Listen, I have tell you that I'm leaving in a couple weeks."

"What another mission?"

"No, it's training I'll be gone for three years," Naruto finished off his glass and waited for her reaction. The silence startled him as he waited for something some angry curses, some good luck curses, something but Tayuya sat there with a questioning look, "What the fuck's the matter with you shithead."

"Nothing I was just expecting some sort of…reaction."

"Dumbass," Tayuya muttered, "yeah it sucks dick that you've got to leave, but if you're going then it's something you've got to do and besides you're coming back." Naruto was happy that she understood his reason and as they sat in silence he realized he was lucky to have her. Naruto looked over and noticed that she seemed to be thinking hard about something, when it looked like she came to a decision she shot gunned the last of her drink and gave him sly smile. Then without warning she tossed the table against the wall sauntered over to him and made herself comfortable in his lap, "and when you get back this is waiting for you."

Tayuya wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. He couldn't think straight as her soft lips worked their magic on him and that tongue, oh that pink little tongue brushing against him until he gave in. Her tongue danced around his toying with him, dominating him, making him moan and the sound sent shivers up her spine. Then Tayuya pulled back from him panting and smiling as she watched him try to gain his bearings.

"…Fuck me," Naruto had a couple important question running through his mind, did this mean she wanted something, did he want her, how does a mouth that foul have such sweet lips? "That…wow…I me-mmph." Naruto slammed his lips against her as his hands worked their way down to her supple backside, "She knows about the other girls I should stop this, tell her it's the liquor, ask her if-oh god how is she doing that with her tongue!"

Naruto abruptly stopped the kiss and looked down at her, "So that's waiting for me huh?" She grinned and kissed him again

"I am a fucking moron!"
