lostmoonchild: Ohayo! Thanks for the reviews! Well, it's four in the morning here and this poor authoress sadly has a bad case of insomnia. Bad for me but good for you guys since you get a new chapter this week and I can work on next week's chapters. One of the reviews made me grin since the person was actually pretty close and didn't realize it (I was gonna send you a message telling you that you were close but ultimately decided not to as a surprise) so let's get the chapter started!
Chapter Warning: Lemon at end of chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto so don't sue.
Chapter Forty Six
Sasuke didn't care if he was yelled at for his defection although he was amused to see how furious the blonde Hokage had been when he decided to "march right back to Konoha" acting as if he had done nothing wrong. He didn't care that he had sided with a missing-nin or had even taken part in several morally wrong experiments and acts. All he cared about now was saving his own skin.
When he felt that child's chakra approaching, he knew he was in deep shit. While he wasn't entirely sure how many of the council members had kids, he was fairly certain they all had at least one child in their lives. Fear shuddered through his body as he thought about a child signing his death warrant, his mind's eye seeing those gentle gray eyes watching every so carefully. Would she beg for his death or would she want to see her father's pleasure at his survival?
The raven looked up when he heard a door open, his dark eyes resting on the blonde. "Dobe." Sasuke said simply as he watched Naruto.
"I don't know what happened to the boy that was once like a brother to me." Naruto said stiffly. "I just know that I don't like the bastard that I see right now."
"Hn. You act like I give a damn."
Sasuke stiffened slightly when a burst of red chakra shot from the blonde, barely missing the raven's head. "I know you don't and I'm going to make one thing painfully clear. I will not forgive you for what you've done to my daughter. If they let you off, I will kill you the first time you go near my daughter and if you go near my house when she's in Konoha then I swear I'll string you up by your intestines." Red bled into the blonde's blue eyes, showing that he was being dead serious.
"You know what that brat is, what she can do, and you don't care. Don't you know what in the hell they've done since they were first discovered?"
"You don't fucking blame a child for what their family did! I don't give a damn how terrible they were! Hisoka is innocent!" Naruto shouted at him. "Who listened to her screams when she had a nightmare? Who comforted her when she cried, Sasuke? Did you know that we had to put two seals on her to lock away memories? God damn it, Sasuke! Hisoka was almost normal!"
"She could easily remove the Bijuu from everybody and destroy everything around her on a whim!"
"You want to go on about what she can do? She's almost like you, Sasuke, except it was her mother that saved her ass instead of a brother! You weren't blamed for your family's action so what in the hell gives you the right to accuse her of something her family did? Her mother hated what they had done and she, like Itachi, sacrificed everything to save the person they loved most!"
Irritation crossed his features as Sasuke glared at the blonde. How dare the blonde moron compare him and Hisoka as well as Hisoka's mother to Itachi? They were nothing alike! "That child is anything but normal." Sasuke hissed. "She is a demon."
"She's my daughter!" Naruto shouted at Sasuke. "You can't give me that shit that you didn't at least suspect it, Sasuke! Even when she's just watching someone, people can see my features in her!"
He didn't know why, but it was worse getting yelled at by Naruto than by anybody else. The child had reminded him of Naruto and he now he wasn't entirely sure what to tell himself. Did he say that he just wanted to keep the child to himself or could he say that he wanted to kill her for the sole reason of reminding him of Naruto? "You act like I care. That child will one day grow weary of playing by the rules that were set up for her alone to follow." Sasuke told him. "She'll call the Bijuu and remove them from whoever has them. Then she'll attack and destroy everybody."
Naruto snorted in disgust before answering, "Just so you know, teme, when she was in there telling the council your part in her kidnapping and abuse, she started crying and for reasons I don't understand, she begged for you to be allowed to live. She wants you dead more than you'll ever know and I'll ever be able to understand, but she still begged for them to consider letting you live."
Sasuke watched as the blonde left the room, anger filling him. It was one thing if someone his age or older had asked that his life be spared but to possibly owe his life to a child was unforgivable! "I think you may as well suck it up cause if that girl's got everybody wrapped as tightly around her fingers as it seems, you're going to live until somebody beats you to death." A voice in his head commented lightly. "In other words, you just got fucked by a brat."
Growling softly in irritation, Sasuke looked out the barred window almost praying that he'd be killed. At least then he wouldn't have to admit that a snot-nosed brat saved his life or even live with the knowledge. Naturally knowing how sadistic pissed off women could be, Sasuke had the feeling that Tsunade was going to go with Hisoka's plea in favor of pissing him off. Great, he thought as he leaned against the wall, a brat that was barely out of diapers and encouraged by a senile old woman had decided his fate.
One of the gods must have hated him immensely; there was no other explanation. Forcing himself to calm down again, Sasuke began meditating in an attempt to forget all that he had surrendered to.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Sai didn't know why exactly he felt threatened when he knew for certain that Sakura was more eager to murder Sasuke than fuck him. Perhaps it was because he knew of the pinkette's fascination and crush on the Uchiha that she claimed no longer existed. "Are you going to sulk for the rest of the night or are you going to go lie down with me?" Sakura asked softly as she softly walked into the living room.
"I'm working on something, hag." Sai responded patiently.
Sakura raised an eyebrow as she stared at the blank paper before sighing as she sat down next to Sai. "And my forehead suddenly shrank. What's going on in that brain of yours?" Sakura asked softly.
"Emo-sama's back in Konoha. I guess you'll be wanting to be with him now." Sai replied. "I don't… like it."
It was almost cute how he actually thought there was a problem. "Well, there's a problem with what you're thinking." Sakura said as she gently moved the raven's sketchbook from his lap.
"What?"
There was almost an amused look on her face as Sakura moved to straddle his lap, her arms resting lightly on his shoulders. Lightly pressing her nose against his, Sakura responded softly, "There's someone else that I want. He's rather artistic and doesn't know much about his emotions but that's what makes him so damn cute."
"Oh really?"
Sai raised an eyebrow as Sakura nodded softly. "You're the one I want, Sai." Sakura said softly. "I want you and only you."
The raven's hands moved to rest on the woman's hips as their lips met in a soft kiss that quickly began to reflect their need. Sakura breathed in sharply as she felt Sai pull her closer to him and melted against him as he slowly pushed his hips upwards towards her. "Sakura." Sai whispered as he stared at the pinkette.
Chills went through their bodies as they stared at each other before Sai slowly curled his fingers around the hem of Sakura's shirt and pulled up, watching with fascination as she twisted her body until she had slipped out of her shirt. His fingers lightly traced over her skin before helping her rid him of his shirt, the cool air sending shivers through his body. Was this really happening?
Without saying a word, Sai shifted so Sakura was lying on the couch with him lying over her. He was distantly reminded of one of Kakashi's books although he was fairly certain that Sakura wouldn't be pleased to know he had read about sex on a couch. Breathing in her soft scent, Sai slowly explored the exposed skin and listened to the soft gasps that left Sakura's lips when he licked or lightly bit a sensitive spot.
"Sai…"
Her voice sounded needy to her own ears and from the light bite on her breast, Sai was amused by it. She could feel herself growing more aroused as Sai began working on her pants, teasing her skin with talented hands she was almost certain only an artist could hold. She lifted her hips as he pulled her pants down and watched as he slowly began working on his own pants.
Their eyes met and burned with desire as Sai settled himself between the woman's legs. In theory he knew what to do but still he found himself hesitating. He closed his eyes as Sakura's soft hands cupped his cheeks, softly pulling him down to her. "Sakura-chan." Sai whispered.
"It's okay. You won't hurt me."
His heart raced as Sakura pressed her heated core against him before feeling her wrap her legs around his waist. He groaned softly as he was slowly enveloped in wet heat and stayed still wanting to keep from releasing into her so soon. If this was what heaven was like then he was looking forward to being there for all of eternity. For now, however, he'd concentrate on making his lover feel as good as she could.
Sakura arched against the raven as he slowly began moving in small shallow thrusts, her nails digging into his shoulders. A cry left her lips when he suddenly hit a sensitive spot within her and shoved her hips against his. "Again," she pleaded softly.
Groans left Sai's lips as he felt Sakura's nails biting into his skin as he repeatedly struck that spot, feeling Sakura's body writhe desperately against his. He listened to the broken variations of his name and claimed her lips in an attempt to quiet her down a little only to catch the small screams in his mouth. She was enjoying herself immensely if he was to go by the screams and writhing body, his eyes clenching as his movements became more erratic.
Sakura's breaths came out in soft pants as she felt the figurative knot tightening in her lower abdomen as she fought against her orgasm only to arch her back as her muscles tightened around the raven, a silent scream leaving her lips. White dots danced across her vision as she felt Sai's hips slam against her before feeling him filling her with his essence.
Reality came crashing down on them as they rested against each other, black orbs meeting green. Exhaustion showed in their eyes as the couple looked at each other but there was also satisfaction reflecting. "I believe I'm ready to go to bed now." Sai told her calmly.
"Good because sleeping on the couch is not my favorite thing to do." Sakura said softly.
"You didn't mind just a few moments ago."
"Having sex is different than sleeping."
Sai smiled softly as he carefully pulled out of her and stood calmly, completely unfazed by his nudity. With a soft sigh, Sakura took the raven's hand and allowed him to pull her to her feet before smiling softly as he wrapped his arms around her. "Aishiteru." Sai told her.
For a moment her heart stopped beating and as Sakura stared at him, she could see the glimmer of truth within his normally void eyes. "Aishiteru." Sakura responded softly with a small kiss. "Aishiteru."
Suddenly feeling as if sleep wasn't about to come to either of them easily, the couple wandered back to the bedroom knowing that as soon as they got there another round would begin yet again.
lostmoonchild: I really don't know where the SaixSakura pairing started popping up in my stories but it's a pairing that I like personally. Somebody's probably going to be upset that Sakura's not running to Sasuke but while Sai has the emotional range of a rock, he at least isn't fixated on revenge 24/7. Besides, duck-butt's not being executed (oh how I wanted to kill him...) but he will serve a purpose later in the fic. Okay, time to run to the next story so read and review!
