A/N: Sorry for not updating in a while...I got the flu and couldn't do nothing but sleep and puke. Anyways, this is the next chapter. I'll also be updating NKT OH MY soon as well. As usual, I own nothing but my own imagination and the few characters that I made specifically for this story. ENJOY!! BTW...BIG LEMON SCEEN TOWARDS BOTTOM!!

CH. 29: Surprise After Surprise

Gaara knew that what he was about to tell Sakura would make her very angry, but he had no choice. He had purposefully brought her to a clearing, miles from civilization, just in case she lost it. He looked into her emerald eyes and sighed heavily. He really hated constantly being the one to upset her.

"Mitsukai-chan…Ray spilled his guts while we interrogated him. He told us the names of every mole The Center has planted in Hatori Corp. since your grandfather started the company. He told us of another secret project, much like Karin, involving a carbon copy of you. Her name is…" he never got to finish because his cell phone rang. He looked at the number to see Choji. He knew that none of the agents called him unless it was an emergency.

"Hold on mitsukai-chan. It's Choji." He walked over to a large rock and leaned against it. His expression turned to stone as he hung up and he looked at her. "Madara is making his move against us. He is after Choji and Michi. Choji said that Madara has created a weapon and he is using that weapon against them right now."

For the first time since Gaara had known her, there was terror in her face. She closed her eyes and tracked Choji's brain pattern and chakra. When she found him, she disappeared, Gaara in her wake.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Choji woke with a sore neck and a stiff back. He could feel a warmth curled against him and instantly knew it was Michi. They were safe from Madara. Lotus had fulfilled her promise to protect them. He felt Michi stir and pulled her tight against him. He finally opened his eyes to see a very pissed off Sakura standing before him.

"Sakura-sama…before you get angry, just know that the poison fumes trailing through the house affected Michi and we came here to be rid of them." Choji's voice was rough and he groaned as he attempted to sit up. Sakura was livid, he could tell by the way her aura lashed out at the thing around her.

Someone cleared their throat and both Choji and Sakura looked back to see Gaara holding something up. Sakura's eyes softened as she looked at the red headed jinchuriki. She looked at the small disk that Gaara had in his hand, then back at where the mysterious woman had disappeared. She remembered what the woman had said.

Flashback

'Your people are safe Haruno. Do not worry; I will not let you destroy hell alone. I will take it down with me when I go, but for now, it has its uses. For now, remember…this angel seeks her wings…' The woman had looked straight at Sakura and there was one single tear on her face. There was a pleading in those otherwise emotionless eyes. Sakura had hesitated and the woman had gotten away.

End Flashback

"Choji…who was that woman?" Sakura asked much more calm now that she remembered the woman had not really hurt Choji or Michi, though it was obvious she could have.

Choji rubbed his head and told her everything that the woman had told him. He watched the look on his boss' face as she listened. When he was finished, she helped him up and he picked Michi up.

"One last thing Choji…did she tell you her name?" Choji turned to see his boss' 'mate' as Naruto had dubbed him. He nodded affirmatively and looked him right in the eyes, so that he would know he was telling the truth.

"She said she was called Lotus." he said then looked at Sakura again. "She also wanted me to tell you that you have an ally at the heart of The Center. What I picked up from her that she didn't tell me is that she has had it much worse than anyone else in the center. She told me she was a construct, but that she had a soul. A man named Kabuto put a single shard of your dreamstone into her hands and she acquired the soul that was trapped inside." Sakura looked like she was about to faint.

"This…is…not…good…" Sakura looked about to hyperventilate. Gaara's eyes bulged as she leaned against the stone Choji had previously been propped against. He flashed to her and held her tightly in his arms. Sakura had little paths of tears on her face.

"Mitsukai-chan…what is wrong?" he urged quietly. The look on her face begged him not to ask that, but he wanted to know what had upset her so. He took charge immediately and looked at Choji.

"Return to the country manor. We will all be staying there to ensure Sakura and Karin's safety. I want you to tell everyone there that under NO circumstance are they to leave until Sakura and I return. Understand?" Choji bowed in acceptance and disappeared, heading back to the manor. With a look at his surroundings, Gaara disappeared as well.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sai felt the sadness in his adopted mother, but he also felt her need to be alone. She needed time to think. Sai whimpered and laid on the bed in the room he was sharing with Shino. The older boy was in the hall talking to the rest of the operatives about who would be taking guard duty first and who could go and rest until their turn.

Sai heard a creak and looked at his window to see the young man who claimed to be his brother. Sai gave the man a glare and moved into a fighting stance. The man raised his hands in surrender and walked closer to the dark haired artist.

"I felt your distress ototo. What has you so upset? I swear I'm not here to hurt you or anyone else. Growing up, we were the only thing each other had…I wish you could remember that. Mother would hate me for this…I promised to take care of you and instead I left you vulnerable." the man looked at his feet. Sai could tell that he really was in some sort of pain.

"Okaa-san is in pain. Something has hurt her, but she does not want anyone to come to her. She does not like for others to hurt. She takes their pain into herself and suffers while others are free to feel nothing. They keep the memory in their head but they don't have to hurt when they think about it. They learn the lesson while she suffers their pain." there was sadness in the boy's voice and it made the older boy's heart clench.

"I can't say that I know what you are talking about, or that I know what she's going through. But I do know that when I found out The Center had taken you even though they promised to leave you alone if I went with them, I felt such hurt and betrayal that my kekkei genkai activated itself unconsciously. She took that pain away…and she gave you back to me. She drew you there and seeing you again made me falter." the man had a small smile on his face. It was more of a smirk and it triggered flashback memories that made Sai gasp.

"You…weren't lying…" Sai walked over to the older man and looked straight into his eyes. Sai's own eyes widened and he took a step back. "You really ARE my brother…but…how come the memories are just now returning!?" Sai grabbed his head and fell to his knees. Raidu could feel the pain that the memories triggered. Panicked, Raidu did the first thing he could think of.

"HOODY!!! SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH SAI!!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. Sai cringed and curled up into a ball on the floor. Tears were leaking out of his eyes like a broken water faucet. Quickly, so as to prevent more pain, Raidu started to sing lightly. It was the song their mother used to sing to them as children. Instead of helping however, it made it worse, as it too triggered memories.

Instantaneously, Shino burst into the room and ran to Sai's side. He glared at Raidu, who looked so panicked that Shino knew this was not an intentional malicious act. For the first time since Shino had met the lightening user, the man looked like a lost boy. "Hoody…help him! I tried to calm him down, but it seems that anything that triggers memories makes the pain worse." there was hysteria in the man's voice. Shino looked down at his young lover and then looked back up at the older boy.

"I need you to leave. I know you don't want to as long as he is in pain, but I need to perform a special jutsu to see what is wrong with him. You can not be here when I do it." Raidu hesitated a moment, but ran full throttle out the door when Sai screamed in pain once more. He remembered the young girl that had been carrying the senbons. She must know something about anatomy if she carried them.

Raidu raced through the house and searched for the girl. He finally burst into a room where he saw four small bodies in two separate beds. He saw the russet hair of the senbon girl and hit his knees by her bed, effectively waking her up.

"I know that you don't know me very well and this may be pushing it, but I beg you to help Sai. For some reason he is in a lot of pain and I think memories of me and our family triggered the pain. PLEASE…help my little brother." Raidu bowed until his head hit the floor. The girl was sitting up in bed staring at him. She looked at the boy that had been curled around her and Raidu saw the resolve in her eyes.

"Take me to him. I can't promise I can help, but I will try. Sai-kun is very important to Sakura-obasan, so I will try my best to help him." The girl allowed Raidu to grab her hand and haul her to the room where Sai and Shino were.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shino stroked his young lover's hair softly and murmured something below his breath. Immediately the room was filled with thousands of little bugs. Shino found the one he was looking for and picked it up out of the thousands that had amassed. He put the bug on Sai's neck, right at the base of the skull. Sai's screams stopped immediately, but Shino could tell that the pain was merely dulled. He would have to find Sakura soon if Sai was to survive this night.

Shino jumped a bit when the door slammed open. The bugs had already dispersed, so he didn't worry that someone had come in abruptly. Shino looked up to see Choji's little sister in the arms of Sai's brother, Raidu. Trailing along behind the duo were the three other children in their care. Moegi and Konohamaru exchanged a look that suggested they had wisdom beyond their years. Eto, however, looked more pissed off than worried.

"You can put her down now." the boy stated evenly. Shino thought he heard the faint murmur of 'pedophile' and had to contain his laughter at the young boy. Not that he could blame Eto for being protective.

Raidu deposited the young girl beside Sai, and Shino watched her as she put her hands on him and they started glowing green. She moved her hands from his chest to his head. She clucked her tongue several times at minor intervals, but openly gasped when she reached his head.

"HOW could doctors miss THAT!?" she exclaimed and immediately took out her medical kit and senbons. She turned and looked at Moegi and Konohamaru. "Moegi, I'm going to need you to keep his spirit with us. The electrical current flowing through his brain right now is enough to kill ordinary people." the young girl looked at Shino and smiled at him.

"It was a stroke of genius on your part to use your little nerve bug at the base of his skull. However, I will need you to remove it so that Raidu-san can divert the electricity from Sai-kun. We have to move closer to the window so that the bolts can be channeled outside." Without any further words, Cheela picked Sai up and carefully took him to the bed that was closest to the window.

"Cheela…you said that the doctors missed something. What exactly is it?" Shino asked, his voice minutely worried. He looked back at Raidu, who was pacing as he waited for his assistance to be needed. Cheela looked at Raidu, then at Shino.

"Shino-kun…there is an electrical device implanted on the part of his brain that controls memory. The slightest activity would send minute amounts of electrical currents through him. The memories that Raidu-san triggered have overloaded the device and it is now on self destruct. It is how The Center controls it's operatives. I had one put in my head when they captured me. Raidu-san most likely has a similar device only using electricity on him is useless. His is probably on another part of his brain, as his memories are still intact. I will see AFTER I help Sai-kun. It would be best if you, Eto, and Konohamaru left while I do this. The less people I have in the room, the easier it is to concentrate. I am not Sakura-obasan, but I will try to help him until you can find her." Shino nodded and left the room with the two unneeded boys.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moegi had never seen anything like it before. She had had to put her hands INSIDE Sai's body to control the boy's spirit. Her spiritual hands rested in his shoulder on either side of his head. His spirit huddled to her and tried to ignore the pain.

Moegi looked at the russet haired young girl and wondered what she was going to do. She looked at Raidu, who in turn looked at Cheela. "Can you remove this thing yourself?" he asked the girl softly, not wanting to startle her.

"In all honesty…no. But I do know that if we stand around doing nothing, he will die within the hour. I have enough medical training through Sakura-obasan to know that." Cheela gave both her companions a stern look and then looked lovingly down at Sai's motionless body.

"Don't worry Sai-kun. I will help make the pain go away. Just stay with us. Think about the people you love and about Sakura-obasan. Raidu is going to divert the electrical flow so that it wont damage you anymore and so that the pain will lessen." Cheela cooed to him and stroked the hair from his face.

Cheela looked at Raidu and nodded, letting the man know that his assistance was now needed. "When I find the device, I'm going to need you to channel the current out. That is all I can do until Sakura-obasan gets here." Raidu nodded and waited for her to give the go ahead sign.

Raidu was daydreaming when he heard Cheela hiss at him to get over there. He ran to her side and did as she told him. He drew the current from the stamp sized device and sent it streaming out into the clouds. He knew that he could do this for hours, as long as it took to help his ototo.

Commotion outside made the three look at one another and had Cheela walking to the door. Cheela was wiping her hands clean when several SHINOBI pushed into the room, much to the chagrin of Eto, Konohamaru and Shino.

Thousands of questions flew at the same time. Moegi carefully shifted to make Sai's spirit more comfortable. Cheela rolled her eyes and looked at Shino, who nodded and went to Sai's side.

Cheela glared at everyone and pointed out the door. Everyone was taken back by her authoritative manner and did as she silently instructed. When she had them out in the hall, she growled at them. "Sai's life is in danger and you guys didn't listen to the people outside the doors!? I can't take the thing out, but I can keep him stable enough until Sakura-obasan gets back." she hissed and glared at all of them as a group. Under his breath, Eto mumbled what sounded like an 'I told you so'. A few people shot him dirty looks, but most looked apologetic.

Cheela, however, looked somewhat mollified. "I don't know if Sai will get better with what I did, but I do know that this thing causes him immense pain. So quiet yourselves and go back to your rooms until Sakura-obasan is here."

Everyone looked solemn, but it was Temari that spoke up. "How come you are the one that is keeping him stable?" Everyone looked curious at this. Cheela sighed and looked back at Raidu.

"Raidu-san overheard Sakura-obasan say that when it came to medical technology, I was a lot like her. He begged me to help save Sai-kun because she has been training me as her predecessor. I will take over her spot as medical tech when she feels I am ready. For now, I am just what you would call an apprentice. In all reality, I should not have done what I did. But Sai's life was on the line and no one else here knew anything that could help him." Cheela took in the shocked looks on their faces, then looked at Eto pleadingly.

"We should all hold down the fort until Obasan comes back. Stick with your patrol patterns except for the ones needed with Sai." Konohamaru took charge, much to the older boys' horror, and drove them all back to their appropriate duties.

Eto looked at Cheela and smiled warmly. "You did good houseki. Let's go and keep an eye on your patient till Sakura-obasan gets back." Eto put his hand on Cheela's shoulder and smiled at her again. Cheela blushed and smiled back at the older boy and allowed him to usher her back in. Konohamaru in and sat beside Moegi, who leaned slightly on the taller boy as they sat and waited for their jinchuriki savior.

----------------------------LIMEY/LEMON---From here to end------------------------------------------------------

Sakura couldn't believe what was happening. Madara had been able to give a construct a soul. And not just any soul, but the soul of someone from Sakura's world. She was shaking in the arms of her mate and he was growling menacingly. Sakura had no idea where they were, but she hoped that it was far from civilization because if she had a break down, things would most definitely get destroyed.

Sakura felt Gaara's primal need to protect her and it temporarily distracted her. She nuzzled his shoulder and looked up at him with sad eyes. She gasped when she saw glowing golden eyes with diamond shaped black pupils. Sakura was worried that Shukaku had taken over her beloved Panda-chan, but when he spoke, she knew it was still her sand shaping lover.

"Mitsukai-chan…what has upset you so? I swear to you I will destroy anything that hurts you like this." he growled and nuzzled his mark on her neck. She purred at him and cuddled into his strong embrace. She knew she would have to tell him the dreamstone's original purpose, but she didn't want to talk about it right now.

"Panda-chan…where are we?" she asked, her voice muffled by the fabric of his shirt. He started stroking her head and a rumbling came from his chest.

"We are in the desert, koi. Deep in the deserts of my homeland…I brought you here to protect you. Also, I have other reasons for it." he said the latter much more quietly than the rest. Sakura looked up at him and saw something in his eyes that put her instincts on full alert.

"Gaara…what is going on? What are we doing here?" she asked warily. She searched her mind for Saiki, but the neko was strangely silent. Gaara felt her pushing at his chest and held her tighter to himself.

"Saiki does not speak to you, does she?" he asked in a velvety purr that made chills run up Sakura's back. She felt something tugging at her and couldn't explain what was going on.

"How did you know that Saiki was quiet?" Sakura asked a bit breathlessly. She looked around her and saw glyphs everywhere. She knew they were far from their friends and there was no where she could go, so she was stuck with him and whatever he had planned.

"Because Shukaku has gotten quieter and quieter as the week passed." he told her as he traced her arms and shoulders with his lips. She moaned as quietly as she could, not wanting him to know how much she was enjoying this. "Kami-sama you smell like blood and sex…I could eat you alive." he whispered to her as he snaked his hands into her hair. Gaara loosened her braid and splayed her hair around her shoulders.

"Gaara…" Sakura moaned. She had tried her best not to, but there was an all consuming heat in her blood and she couldn't understand what was going on. Gaara licked her from her sternum to just under her chin, making her arch against him. He made the purr-like noise again and nuzzled his mark once more.

Like a flash of lightening, Gaara sank his teeth into her shoulder like he had the day he'd claimed her in front of Sasuke. She arched her back and let out a small scream, her nails digging into his shoulders. She could feel the blood roll down her shoulder and then further down her back. Her mind was foggy and she couldn't understand why her clothes hadn't stopped the blood from rolling down to her hip.

Sakura also felt a small bead of blood run down her front and over her highly sensitized breast. She felt it trickle down to her stomach and it was then she realized she felt a breeze where there shouldn't be one had she been clothed. Still, her brain was fogged with pleasure and the extreme need to return the mark.

Sakura felt Gaara's jaws clench on her shoulder as she sniffed a high spot on his shoulder, very close to his neck, and right above his collar bone. Her initial shock having worn off, she licked the spot she had sniffed, making Gaara's muscles tense up. She smirked, then bit deeply into the spot that she had chosen to leave her mating mark. She heard him hiss around her flesh and even felt his jaws tighten. She moaned at the extra pleasure and ran her hands down his back…his NAKED back.

Surprise caused Sakura to release his shoulder and stare at him. Her gleaming silver eyes glowed, lighting up their surroundings just a bit. She saw that the glyphs were of jinchurikis mating. Some were fornicating with random humans, some were on display masturbating. There were jinchuriki males with jinchuriki females; jinchuriki males with multiple human females; jinchuriki females with multiple human males; even jinchuriki males with human males and jinchuriki females with human females. Sakura wondered where they were, but then all thought fled her when Gaara ran his hands up her sides and caressed her hips.

Sakura felt her shoulder throbbing where Gaara's teeth were still sunk into her flesh. She felt the uncontrollable urge to bite him, her blood boiling to unmentionable heights. She growled viciously and bit him hard and deep. Instead of retaliating, the red head moaned around her burning flesh and pulled her more tightly against him. She growled and started raking her nails down his back, making him shiver.

She felt an almost unbearable heat spark where her flesh met Gaara's lips and vice versa. Only then did the two let go of the shoulder they were clenched onto. Gaara had a look of unquenchable lust in his eyes and Sakura looked dazed, but completely willing.

Gaara pounced on her, pinning her to the ground beneath them. His eyes were glowing more brightly now and Sakura knew that there was nothing that could prevent them from mating now. Her mind was in a frenzy from her instincts taking over.

As quickly as he had pinned her beneath him, she flipped him onto his back, growling. Gaara smirked, knowing she would fight him with her instincts running amuck. His eyes laughed with the thrill of challenge.

And so their fight for dominance began. They wrestled, trying to pin the other down to where they couldn't move. The more aroused Gaara became, the stronger he became and the more capable of pinning her. Sakura fought against him, as her instincts demanded.

Somewhere in the back of her brain she was sure had this been a human male, she would not have fought. But as this one was of her own kind, a jinchuriki like herself, and she felt the need to ensure he was capable of taking care of her.

Having had enough of this hit and miss mating dance, Gaara finally used his advantage of strength and pinned her. As strong as she was, she was incapable of throwing him off. Smirking again, Gaara used his fangs to pin her to the ground.

She hissed and bucked, but in the end, he was the victor. He had her pinned by the shoulder with her chest to the sandy stone ground beneath them and he could feel her enticing bottom against his rigid arousal.

Gaara growled and slowly rubbed himself against her. He could hear her breathing hitch and she stifled a moan. He smirked around her shoulder and thrust his hips against her curved bottom. She gasped and started panting. She whimpered in submission and Gaara growled again, this time it was like a purr that reverberated through both their bodies.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shikamaru sighed as he and Temari returned to the room they had been in when all the commotion with Sai had started. He looked over at the girl that had captured his heart. He would never admit it to anyone, but he would do anything for her. She looked up at him with tired eyes and he sighed again.

"We might as well sleep until our turn at watch comes up." he said tiredly. He wasn't really all that tired, actually, he was very awake…and very aware it was just the two of them. He had a flashback to when they were 'together' at the hospital wing back at the academy.

Flashback

He watched Temari drop to her knees and close her lips around the head of his erection, which was now peeking out of his zipper. He hissed at the wet sensation and his hips thrust against her face several times. He saw her smile and he closed his eyes. He knew she could sense his helplessness in each thrust he made. He reached down and drug her up his body.

"You're…going to…get it…on you if…you don't…move." he had managed to pant out. He watched as she circled around behind him and continued pumping her fist up and down. Beads of sweat were rolling down his neck and into his shirt. He felt her lick one bead off and he stiffened.

He hissed as his member pulsed and he felt his body draining itself. He slumped against the wall, her hand still on him and his legs like noodles. He let his head roll back onto her shoulder and felt her still lightly pumping him, the aftershocks causing him to come again. He moaned out another orgasm and he watched her watch it squirt out onto the wall.

He watched his fluids run down the wall she had been standing in front of only moments ago. He saw her lift her hand and look at it curiously, then lick it slightly and purr at him.

"Mmmm…you taste like sake and cinnamon." he blushed brightly, but was too exhausted to do more than zip his pants up and turn around to look at her. He saw her licking her hand and it was almost enough to make him hard again

End Flashback

Shikamaru blushed and looked away from her. She noticed his red face and cocked her head to the side, wondering what his problem was. As tired as she was, she was also aware that it was just the two of them, alone, in a house that had many rooms they could conveniently 'get lost' in. She remembered the day they had slept together in her house.

Flashback

She smiled seductively and climbed on the bed. She reached out a hand and flicked his belt open.

Shikamaru only stared as she loosened his belt and pulled it off. She then proceeded to unbutton his pants and then unzip them. Lastly, she pulled them down until they were off. She stared at him in his olive green silk boxers and she blushed heavily. She then proceeded to lean over his form, a little closer to his member than he thought was necessary unless she was going to blow him, and pulled the pants over his feet and slowly up his legs.

She allowed the spandex waist line to snap shut, making him hiss at the erotic pain. His eyes had been glazed over in lust. She chuckled and slipped under her covers. He sighed and followed her, spooning against her back. She gasped as he ground his member against her bottom. He chuckled and nuzzled the back of her neck, smugness rolling off him. They had fallen asleep and she had proceeded to dream about him.

End Flashback

Temari cleared her throat and smiled up at him, trying to hide her blush…it didn't work. She heard Shikamaru chuckle and start walking over to her. There was a familiar glaze on his eyes and she knew that he was up to something.

Temari shifted nervously on the bed and watched him get closer and closer. She suddenly found him standing between her spread legs, leaning against her. She turned redder than she ever had and looked up at him. At that moment, she was really thankful that she was wearing tights under her skirt, otherwise he would be pressed against her intimately.

She saw Shikamaru's eyes roving over her. She blushed again and looked him over as well. He was wearig the typical black cargo pants with multiple pockets. His heavy black boots were sitting at the entrance to their room, his socks sticking out the top. He had on a skin tight sleeveless olive shirt that had a high neck on it. He had a black vest overtop that with more compartments on it.

She watched as he shed the vest and threw it into the chair sitting by the bed on the left side. Her gaze quickly flickered to his chest, enthralling her. She couldn't figure out how someone who tried his best to be lazy could be so muscular.

While her gaze roved over him, he, too, was letting his gaze rove. He mentally drooled at her lavender off-the-shoulder shirt that allowed him a nice view of her cleavage from his current position. Her white sports bra gave her support, and he could tell she tried hard to make herself look smaller there.

He could see the sparkle of the silver chain wrapped around her waist ad that threw his attention to the pleated black skirt she wore. It was simple, with white stitching on it and a lavender fan sewed on the right corner near her thigh. She had white tights on under it, to 'preserve her modesty'. He chuckled to himself at the thought that she had such a potty mouth but was a conservative dresser.

He tangled his hand in her hair and stroked her face with his other. He could see her lavender eye shadow as she closed her eyes and sighed. Pushed beyond his limit and needing to feel her, he leaned forward and captured her lips once more. Her eyes snapped open as she felt him lean on her, forcing her against the bed with his weight.

His hand was still in her hair, holding her to him, while his other hand slid from her face, down her arm and side, to her hip and further down to her thigh, where he rubbed up and down. He felt her gasp and took that chance to lick the inside of her mouth and explore.

He growled at the taste of her and pressed his hips against hers roughly, letting her know what she was doing to him. She moaned and ran her hands up his sides and around his neck. She pulled him closer to her and thrust her hips against his, making grunt and rub against her faster.

Temari couldn't think with him lying on her, rubbing himself against her. She wanted him, had wanted him since they had fooled around in the hospital. She started tugging at his skin tight olive shirt and she felt him chuckle against her lips.

He pulled back slightly and looked down into her eager eyes. His face softened and he smiled at her, wondering what good deed he did in another life to deserve her. Temari smiled up at him and started attacking his clothes once more. He helped her get his shirt off and attacked her lips, licking and nipping as he went.

He inched his hand up her shirt, caressing her stomach, ribs, then tracing the outline of her bra. He felt her shudder and moan in delight, running her fingers over his bare back. He shuddered and palmed her covered breast. She arched into him, gasping at the sensations she was feeling.

Shikamaru smirked and slowly pushed her shirt up and over her head, throwing it into the chair with his vest. He saw her mounds being pressed down violently by the sports bra. He arched a brow at her and she blushed.

"I…I used to be teased…for having a big chest. This is how I make it not so noticeable." she said quietly, looking away from him. She heard him chuckle and she looked up at him cautiously. He had an indulgent look on his face and smiled recklessly at her.

"Babe…they made fun of you 'cause they were jealous. You have a beautiful body…don't be ashamed of it." He whispered when he leaned down to lick her neck. She shivered again, then abruptly felt the restriction on her chest ease.

She looked down to see he'd cut her sports bra right up the middle. She blushed violently as her full chest was laid out for his viewing pleasure. She tried to cover herself, but his hands (minus the knife he'd used on her bra) caught hers and moved them above her head so he could have a good look at her.

She squeaked when he buried his face in her breasts and hummed, enjoying the soft mounds immensely. He used one hand to restrain her hands and the other cupped her large breasts, bringing the nipple to his mouth. She bucked against him at the first feel of his mouth on her.

He played with her like this for a while, making her pant moan. He finally released her hands and they immediately dug into his hair, yanking lightly. He chuckled and slid his hand down her stomach, still suckling her. She gasped as she felt him run his hands down her sides, to her hips, then lower to her thighs.

He rubbed her gently up and down her thighs before hooking his hands in the elastic waist of the tights and yanking them down, then off, with a growl. "You shouldn't be afraid to show off your body…you're fucking hott." he growled and rubbed her now bare thighs. They were silky smooth and he groaned at the pleasure of feeling her.

She blushed and arched into him gasping as his hand slowly slid up her skirt. She felt him circling her woman parts with one warm finger. She then felt his finger sneak inside and trace her gently. She let out a shriek, which she muffled by burying her face in his shoulder.

She felt his rumble of approval and his hand in her hair pulled so she could look up at him. "Before I take this any further, I have to know this is what you want. I won't pressure you into anything you don't want. But you have to know at the same time that it's really fucking hard for me not to jump you. If you stop this now, I'm going to be taking a lot of cold showers to get rid of this thing." He growled as he rubbed his erection against her. She chuckled and looked up at him.

"If I didn't want this, you would be on your ass in the floor and I would be going to kids' room." She chuckled again at his arched brow. He gave her a mock haughty look and propped himself on one elbow.

"And what makes you think that I wouldn't force you?" he asked, wondering why she was so sure she was safe when he was this aroused. She outright laughed at him then.

"First off, you're not that kinda guy. You wouldn't do something that despicable. Plus it too 'troublesome' for you." he was awed by her trust in him, then chuckled when she teased him with his favorite word.

"Second, if you even TRIED to force me into something like that, I'd rattle your teeth and dent your skull." She winked at him and pushed herself up to kiss him fiercely. He growled as she rubbed him through his pants and broke the kiss to nuzzle her face.

She slowly laid back down, him following, and started squirming to entice him further. With a growl, his tight control broke and he ripped her panties off and thrust a finger inside her. He heard her gasp of surprise and chuckled darkly. He could hear her breaths becoming more and more ragged as he rubbed her pearl with his thumb while curling his finger inside her.

He chuckled darkly again when she arched her hips into his hand and whimpered. He could feel his member straining against his pants and decided it was high time he show her just what he was going to do to her. He leaned down and kissed her fiercely, to distract her from the fact he removed his hand. He was leaning between her legs, his hips barely touching hers, and kissing her senseless. She whined slightly but that stopped when she heard the pop of the button on his pants and the hiss of the zipper. He raised himself so that he was kneeling between her legs and it was then she saw his member, straining out of his pants.

Her eyes became wide with arousal and a hint of fear. He knew what she was thinking and chuckled again, putting his hands on the back of her thighs, right above her knees. He pushed them up so that her knees were almost touching her chest.

He gently nudged her entrance with the head of him erection, making her gasp. He started to slowly work his member into her tight entrance. He heard her hiss in pain and stayed still for a few moments. Finally she growled at him.

"Get it over with you idiot. It only hurts more when you go like this!" Shikamaru stared at her, then leaned down to kiss her. As soon as their lips touched, he thrust himself into her and stayed still while tears leaked out of her eyes.

He murmured loving words to her and didn't complain about her death grip on him. He could feel her ragged breathing on his face and could feel her breasts pressing against his chest. He felt her shift and she gasped. He wondered if it was a good gasp or a bad one. His answer came when she whimpered for him to move. She obliged and started to gently rock against her.

The friction was driving him made. He could feel her legs spasming around him with each gentle thrust. He felt her gripping his forearms as he held onto her thighs. She hissed at him to go faster, and he gladly complied. He shifted her until he could lie on top of her and kiss her gently as he rocked more aggressively against her.

He felt her digging her nails into his back and his tenuous hold on his control snapped. He started pounding into her, muttering vulgar comments and gripping her thighs so that he had better leverage. His thrusting was so aggressive that she felt like she would slit in two. Temari shut her eyes as she felt the coil in her stomach heat and wind tighter. She gasped when she felt him become even harder inside her.

She felt a tingling start at her toes and suddenly, she was drowning in a sea of pleasure. She muffled her scream by biting into his shoulder. She heard him growl, then he swore violently. "FUCK!" he hissed, then moaned as he reached climax. He was still rocking a little, and he could feel her tight clasp milking him.

A wave of exhaustion washed over the two and Shikamaru just collapsed on top of her, kissing her forehead and whispering loving nothings into her hair. Feeling mischievous, Temari clamped her inner muscles around his member and he started moaning again as the slight movement sent him over the edge again. She felt him thrust gently a few times, then he stilled again.

She continued this little game of clenching around him and making him come over and over again in a short interval. It was only when she heard his soft snoring that she stopped. She relished his weight and snuggled against him. She barely managed to pull the sheet over them so they wouldn't freeze during the night.
