Chapter 19

A few days later, Sasuke was grabbing a tray of food and ale for him and Naruto. The blonde had spent the immediate days after the battle in bed. Currently, they were all staying at the Goblin Castle.

The carnage of the battle was tremendous and many of their fighters were gravely injured. Simply put, it wouldn't have been very practical to try to move many of their people. Some of them had injuries far more serious than Naruto. It would have been a death sentence to return to their respective Kingdoms this early.

"Naruto, I got us some food." Sasuke says with a smile as he enters their room.

The Goblin Castle's rooms were surprisingly nice. Sure, the stone walls and the dark colors were rather gloomy. That was okay though. At least the bed and fireplace made it relatively comfortable and that's what Naruto needed most.

The Dragoon needed comfort. While the Viking's injuries weren't the most severe, they were bad. Bad enough that Sasuke wanted his boyfriend to have every possible comfort while he was recovering.

"Well I am starving, but not for food." Naruto says as he pounces Sasuke and playfully pins his elf to the bed.

"Naruto! What the Hell?! You really shouldn't be doing stuff like that! You could reopen your injuries!" Sasuke scolds him.

The elf feels himself shiver when he saw Naruto's sexy smirk. He didn't really know that the Dragoon COULD smirk. It seemed too sneaky of a gesture for naturally open Viking. Apparently, Naruto could do sneaky and smirk though. The man had just ambushed him, after all.

"Don't fret about all that, My Elf. I'm a Dragoon. We heal much faster than humans. Well so I'm told anyway. I haven't really had much experience with them myself." The blonde observes thoughtfully.

"So your injures are gone now?" The raven haired man inquires skeptically.

"All gone. I be good as new and more than ready to give you your first lesson in the Carnal Arts. You needn't worry about anything. I can be a very patient and thorough teacher." His boyfriend assures him.

Sasuke feels his face heat up at the not so subtle implications of Naruto's words. The blonde definitely was feeling better and frisky. Very frisky, apparently.

"Well I'm glad that you're feeling better. You really should take it easy though. Just to be on the safe side. I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't know what I would do without you." The Uchiha admits.

"Such a sweet elf. Well you've taken very good care of me these past few days. I think it is high time that I returned the favor." He says smugly.

Sasuke glances up at his favorite Viking. Naruto was apparently very much interested in taking away his virtue as the blonde called it. It was even more obvious that he fully intended to do so now.

"I want to be with you. I love you, but you don't have to do that. You don't have to sleep with me because I took care of you while you were sick. I'm sure that you would do the same for me." Sasuke replies.

"Of course, I would. I wasn't sick though. Those were battle injuries. You're right though. I would take care of you. Well after making sure whoever hurt you died a most gruesome death, of course." The Dragoon says brightly.

Sasuke laughs and kisses Naruto. It was such a Naruto thing to say. He must have been taking Dating Lessons from Kisame.

Naruto smiles and kisses back. Sasuke soon found himself moaning into the kiss and pinned rather firmly underneath his lovable blonde. Apparently, blondes really did have more fun. (Well at least in Naruto's case).

"I'm sure you would. Lets just hope that you never have to punish anyone for seriously injuring me. As hot as I find the whole caveman thing, I'd rather not have to get potentially fatally injured to enjoy seeing you defend me. That and I can protect myself. I'm not helpless." Sasuke reminds him.

"I know that very well. I just like protecting my Mate." Naruto explains as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

That reminded Sasuke of something. As human as Naruto looked right now, he wasn't. Well, technically neither was he, but Sasuke considered an elf more human than a Dragoon. (That wasn't the point though)!

"So how does this Mating thing work again exactly? I know that the books say that gender doesn't really matter for your people. I'm not going to get pregnant automatically, if I sleep with you. Right?" Sasuke asks a bit warily.

He loved Naruto, but Sasuke wasn't exactly sold on this whole hatchling thing. Sure, he liked kids. He just never imagined actually being the one to carry them (or lay them).

"No. You don't get pregnant automatically. Dragoons are fortunate in that their Mate has to accept them before they can conceive." Naruto explains.

"So you're saying that we can "mate" as many times as we want, but I won't get pregnant. I won't get pregnant, unless I want to?" Sasuke asks in surprise.

"Yes. Like I said, we're pretty lucky that way." Naruto tells him.

Sasuke tilts his head to the side as he considers this. Well when Naruto put it that way, he didn't see a real reason to say no. He loved the blonde and the Viking was obviously rather eager to please.

"Alright. I'm the one doing the actual mounting though." Sasuke insists.

"We'll see about that." Naruto says with a grin as he kisses his elf.

Warning Lemon

Sasuke returns the kiss and quickly begins to strip the Viking. He wanted Naruto and he didn't want to lose his nerve. It was embarrassing to admit, but he wasn't entirely sure he could keep up with Naruto.

The Dragoon was a warrior. He'd been born and bred for such things. Sasuke had always considered himself to be in good shape, but he had never survived a raid. There was likely going to be a major difference in stamina.

"Don't do that." Naruto tells him, after breaking the kiss in favor of nibbling on his ears.

"Nhh! D-on't do w-hat?" Sasuke moans.

Why were his ears so damn sensitive? It wasn't fair. Naruto knew how to make him go from zero to sixty instantly.

Surely, there had to be a similar spot on Dragoons somewhere. Right? It wouldn't be fair, if there wasn't. Nature wouldn't be that cruel.

"Don't overanalyze things. Just go with your gut and let yourself feel good." He murmurs seductively into his ear.

Well Naruto might have a point there. All the blood was rushing south rather quickly. Sasuke didn't think that he'd be able to do much thinking soon, anyway.

"Alright." Sasuke says as he takes a moment to admire the Viking's naked form.

Perfect. Really, that was the only way to describe it. Sunkissed skin and well sculpted muscles everywhere. That and a really big…tail. There were some scars, but that didn't detract from Naruto's good looks. If anything, they only enhanced his masculine beauty.

"Like what you see, My Elf?" Naruto asks smugly.

"Less talking, more touching." Sasuke chastises him as he strokes the Dragoon's arousal.

Idly, Sasuke wondered if all Dragoons were this big. He doubted that his almost lover was small by anyone's standards. Thankfully for his pride, this was apparently one area where they were evenly matched.

Naruto groans as he bucks into Sasuke's hand. He could definitely work with that. Though his elf really needed to lose his closes. Preferably, as soon as possible.

With that thought in mind, he carefully disrobes Sasuke. To Naruto, it was like unwrapping a sacred gift. That and he really didn't want to scare his soon to be lover.

"Odin, that feels good." The Viking growls in approval as he thrusts desperately in Sasuke's hand and begins gliding his hands over the other man's chest.

Elves tended to be rather lithe in frame. Sasuke had well defined muscles though. He was built like a panther really. Powerful, but sleek and built for speed. Naruto was more like a lion himself. He was big and not afraid to throw his weight (muscles) around. That was fairly common amongst Vikings though.

"Good." Sasuke says with a smirk as he continues stroking his Dragoon and places several kisses along his jaw.

Naruto sighs in pleasure and quickly captures Sasuke's lip in another heated kiss, before returning the favor. He smiles into the kiss when he felt that their desire for each other were equally powerful.

"I've always loved your skin. It's so easy to leave marks on it." The blonde growls in approval, after breaking the kiss.

"Leave marks on it?" Sasuke asks in confusion.

His confusion was soon lifted when he felt Naruto's lips and teeth along his neck. Kissing, licking, sucking, and even biting down gently. The college student now suddenly knew exactly what Naruto meant.

"Fuck you're a possessive bastard!" He moans wantonly as he arches up against Naruto and grinds their arousals together.

"Maybe a little bit. You're MY elf though and I want everyone to notice that." Naruto says, once he releases Sasuke's neck from his attentions.

He smirks when he saw the dark lovebites already forming. Sasuke's ivory cream skin was just too much to resist. It was just so easy to mark up.

"Ye don't seem to mind too much. Your sword seems rather eager for battle." He says cockily.

"Well I never said that I didn't like it. I just was stating a fact." Sasuke says as he rolls the over until he was on top.

Once on top, Sasuke felt somewhat emboldened. He nibbles on Naruto's ear and feels the blonde wrap his legs around him tightly. It looked like the Viking was at least somewhat sensitive there, but not as much as him.

Damn. That wasn't the spot. Oh well. Sasuke was determined to find it. With that in mind, he leaves a trail of kisses along the blonde's neck.

"Such a good elf." Naruto sighs in contentment as he runs his fingers through Sasuke's dark tresses.

That was good, but apparently not the spot either. Hmm. Sasuke moves down a little lower and bestows some butterfly kisses and nips along the muscular planes of Naruto's chest.

The Viking Prince was quite happy to enjoy the gentle and sensual administrations of Traveler. Sasuke looked nothing short of ethereal with his face and body illuminated by nothing more than the candlelight and bathed in moonlight.

"Beautiful." He says as he strokes Sasuke more with one hand and cups his backside with the other.

A very nice backside it was too. Well in truth, there was very little about the elf's body that didn't fascinate him. Whether it was face, his sleek muscles, his backside, or his impressive sword.

Sasuke smirks at the praise and moves down lower. He playfully nips at Naruto's inner thigh before taking the tip of his arousal into his mouth. The elf was suddenly rather thankful that some things were apparently universal. One of them was that almost any male enjoyed oral sex.

"By Thor, you're sneaky!" Naruto moans as Sasuke takes more of him into his mouth.

Sasuke smirks more in response as he sucks harder and faster. He honestly wasn't entirely sure what he was doing, but there was something to be said for instinct.

Judging by the way Naruto bucked against him, the blonde particularly enjoyed being licked or nipped. The elf certainly had no issue in giving the Viking exactly what he wanted in that case. He nips the sensitive flesh playfully and then lavishes it with his tongue.

"J-ust like that." Naruto pants out hotly as he leans over ever so slightly and grabs something.

His elf was too distracted to notice. Hell, Naruto was almost too distracted by the other man's wickedly wonderful mouth to remember to grab the required substance. Despite that, somehow he manages.

Gods and Goddesses, Sasuke's mouth was a wonderful. It was taking all his self-control not to spill his seed into the elf's mouth. The feeling of his soft lips and hot mouth wrapped around his cock was nothing short of an blissful torture. That and his elf was definitely not afraid to use his teeth.

"You're amazing." He praises him.

Deciding that Sasuke was sufficiently distracted, Naruto coats his fingers rather generously in the lubrication. The beautiful man who was currently driving him to madness could protest all that he liked, but it was obvious that he was pure. Naruto wasn't a simpleton. He knew what that meant.

Certain considerations were necessary. That's why he subtly slides a single finger inside his elf. Sasuke's reaction was immediate and perhaps predictable.

"Naruto!" He growls, after releasing the blonde's arousal from his mouth.

"I'm just preparing you is all. Relax. I told you that I'd instruct you fully in the carnal arts and I meant it." The Viking replies.

His arousal was now borderline painful. Why had Sasuke stopped right there?! That wasn't fair!

"You're still not topping." Sasuke insists.

"It's your first time. You can take charge later. This way you'll know what to do. Besides, I would never hurt you. Especially not after you've given me that this much pleasure with your mouth." He says.

Sasuke pauses as he considers this. He still would rather take charges as Naruto put it, but it was obvious that the blonde was the more experienced between the two of them. It would be awkward to try to take the Viking on his firs time.

"Alright. Don't make me regret this." Sasuke tells him with a kiss.

"I won't. I promise. You know that I love you with all my heart." The Prince promises him, after breaking the kiss.

"I know. I love you too." Sasuke says and Naruto slides his finger out of him.

The elf takes a deep breath and gets on his hands and knees. Naruto was a Dragoon. He probably liked this position better anyway.

"It never ceases to amaze me, how you are somehow able to become more beautiful every time that I see you." Naruto whispers as he slides the finger back in and begins to move it.

The blonde knew that it wouldn't take too long to find that spot that would drive Sasuke made with desire. The one that would make him scream in pleasure and signal that he was ready to be taken.

Mercifully, it didn't take long. After he added the second finger, he hears Sasuke moan. Naruto doubted that there was a more alluring sound than his elf when he was lost in desire.

"This may hurt at first, but I promise that it will feel very good soon." He whispers as he slides his fingers out of Sasuke and replaces them with something far bigger.

Sasuke grunts. He wouldn't say that it hurt exactly. He was just really, really full. The youngest Uchiha decides that it would probably feel less awkward, if they were moving and so, he bucks back against Naruto encouragingly.

"You're a wonder." The Dragoon tells him as he begins slowly claiming his elf.

Naruto strokes Sasuke as he moves within him. He wanted his lover to enjoy being together as much as he did. The blonde could only smirk when he hears Sasuke moan at the sensual touches.

By Thor, he was hot and tight. Naruto had had a few other lovers before Sasuke. One tended to seek out companionship on raids for comfort. When there was as very real possibility that you could die the next morning, one tended to seek out whatever pleasures they could find under the protection of the night.

"Naruto!" Sasuke moans as he arches underneath him and thrusts into his lover's hand.

He'd always enjoyed mounting, but never this much though. With Sasuke, the experience was nothing short of euphoria. The way he'd arch underneath him. His scent. His beauty. The way that his insides possessively clung to his arousal. It was all an irresistibly addicting combination.

Seeing that Sasuke had already accepted him, Naruto begins to claim him faster. Who could resist the nymph that was underneath him? Sasuke might be an elf, but he was as seductive as a nymph.

"You feel so good!" Naruto purrs darkly as he begins to slam into the man underneath him.

Sasuke moans and arches under the blonde. He didn't think that he would enjoy it this way, but this was Naruto. Apparently, he could accomplish anything. That included turning his brains into mush.

It was hard to think of anything, but how good it felt to be joined with the Dragoon this way. The warmth of his body above his. The feeling of his breath on his back. The loving kisses the blonde was placing on his shoulders and the seductive stroking of his arousal. The feeling of being completely filled and wanted. It was all so good.

He bites his lower lip to keep from screaming with pleasure as the blonde drove into his spot again. The one that made him moan like an incubus. God, that felt good.

"Just let yourself feel good." Naruto murmurs seductively into his ear as he strokes Sasuke and thrusts into him again and again.

Each thrust drove him to higher and higher heights of passion. Sasuke was now very much aware of why Naruto had called it the carnal ARTS. There was a certain artistry to the way the two of them were moving as one and the beauty of all the glorious sensations that their lovemaking bestowed upon them.

"So good!" Sasuke screams in pleasure as he tumbles over the edge.

Naruto didn't take long to join him. Sasuke could feel the evidence of the Viking's arousal now coating his insides. That didn't stop Naruto though, he slowly slides out of him and within minutes they were making love again.

They spent the rest of the night in each other's arms. Sasuke wasn't sure if someone asked him, if he would have remembered his own name. That was how lost he was in a sea of pleasure, but he remembered Naruto's. He definitely remembered Naruto's.

The elf lost count of how many positions they tried. He lost count of how many times they each achieved bliss. Though Sasuke DID get the opportunity to take the reigns once or twice, Naruto appeared to be the more aggressive between the two of them. (Perhaps that was only to be expected though. Naruto WAS a Viking, after all).

End of Lemon


"Mmm we really should have done that sooner." Naruto whispers to his favorite elf as morning came.

"Well we had to rescue my brother and dethrone two Goblin Kings, first. Priorities." Sasuke informs him with a contented sigh as he snuggles further into the other man's side.

Naruto snorts in amusement. He supposed that Sasuke was right. As much as he would be quite content to spend his days doing nothing more than ravishing his elf (or being ravished), sometimes the needs of the many outweighed the needs of a few.

"True enough. What do you think they will do with the witch?" Naruto wonders.

"I'm not sure. As far as I can tell, she's not that much different than Kimimaro. She just wanted to go home. I can't really blame her from that. She didn't know us. She owed us nothing. Why wouldn't she take the deal Kabuto was offering?" The raven haired man replies.

Naruto nods in agreement. That was true. Sometimes good people did horrible things when they were desperate and it was rather obvious that Sakura had been desperate. The only question left to answer was what were they going to do about it.


The next day, Itachi was well enough to watch Kisame teach Suigetsu how to chariot race merman style, off of the Goblin Kingdom's coast. It was a rather amusing affair, even as a spectator sport. It seemed in a way, Kisame had adopted the new merman.

"That's pretty freaking awesome! Dolphin Chariot Racing! Egyptians, eat your hearts out!" Suigetsu calls out joyfully as he guides his dolphins to go faster and races Kisame.

Gaara and his Queen were also watching. The red head raises an eyebrow at that comment. Suigetsu's tongue was foreign to him, but the meaning was not. He was taunting him.

"That merman irritates me." He mutters.

"Don't worry, My Love. We'll be back in Egypt soon. We're just staying here long enough to bury our dead and treat our injured. It won't be long now." Mei assures him as she kisses his cheek.

Mikoto shakes her head in amusement as she watches the entire scene and rests her head on Fugaku's shoulder. She was just glad that it was all over. Peace had been restored to the Land and her Clan was one again.

"Do you think that King Guy would consent to allowing us to try out those rainbows?" Fugaku asks mischievously.

"Hmm. He probably would. We'd likely have to endure him babbling about youth for awhile though." The Empress replies thoughtfully.

"You have to endure that all the time, anyway." Karin points out as she watches the entire affair and bites into an apple.

Kimimaro and Jugo snort. Karin was right about that. The Irish King rarely ceased talking about youth. Sometimes it was funny and sometimes it was rather annoying.

"Do we have anything like that?" Jugo asks.

"Anything like that?" The other fairy asks in confusion.

"Well leprechauns can use rainbows to transport themselves. Do we have anything like that?" The gentle giant inquires.

Kimimaro shakes his head. They had lots of magic, but rainbows were not one of their gifts. While he personally thought the rainbows were cool, he'd rather have his wings.

"I'm afraid not, but we have something even better than that." He says with a sly smile.

"What's even better than a rainbow that you can slide on to go anywhere you want?" The orange haired man asks.

"We have each other and I wouldn't trade you for all the rainbows in the world." Kimimaro replies as he kisses him.

Jugo smiles and returns the kiss. While his intentions hadn't been noble in the beginning, he had grown to believe that the other fairy did care about him. After all, how many people had boyfriends who were willing to go on a potentially suicidal mission to prove their love? It was hard to stay mad at Kimimaro, when he considered that.

"Well this is certainly quite the party." Orochimaru muses as he watches everyone frolic on the beach.

At long last, he was home and had reclaimed his throne. In the Goblin King's mind, everything was perfect. Though there was still the small matter of deciding what to do with the witch. Oh well. They could figure that out later.
