Reviewers;

Mangaka Shuzen: So Glad You Are!

St3rfire: Well, I knew that I couldn't keep up the facade forever and Sakura will now show Naruto (and us) just how she has been. If you will notice Fire that I skipped quite a bit of her life up here in the mountains...

SkullWingD36: That's great! Proud to know that you are able to read something that I wrote that you like.

Duh Bomb: You portrayed Naruto's suddenness brilliantly, and Sakura's mental welcome was appreciated inside hers. As for his reaction, I didn't really feel like Naruto would just explode, and in the situation that they were in, Naruto chose the silent treatment even when he was freezing, and made Sakura feel terrible to the point of trying everything to make it up to him.

Czar Joseph: The soldiers will always fail...never send a soldier's to do Sasuke's job.

AN: Hey everyone, so these next few chapters hold a lot of turns and twists, but know that they are for the story itself. They may not be accurate, but they are waht I decided to go with after so long of debating.

Fire & Ice

Arc 2: Let It Go

Chapter 31: My New World

An hour after the incident where Sakura was almost killed and the two humans were safe, the caravan of soldiers and humans began to make their way back to their home, as Sakura's hand interlaced with Naruto's and she clung to his left arm with her other hand, as if he were the most precious thing in the world, and she was afraid that if she let go, he would disappear.

Naruto should be holding on just as tightly, now that he was reunited properly with Sakura, but he felt like…like something was off about all of this. Naruto looked around himself and saw the smiles of the soldiers and even saw the interactions of the opposite sexes, and that did not bother him. These were truly people of simply a different time of birth. He did not fear them at all, but something was simply off.

But soon, the congregation had moved to the edge of the mountain range and Sakura stopped Naruto just as they turned the corner, watching in glee at Naruto's simply stunned expression. His eyes were wide and his eyes focused forward as he looked to the ramparts of the walls, to see them so mighty and standing to resist anything thrown at them.

Naruto looked at the gates, in their pure white wooded look, with the Haruno ancestry story moving around the doors, even seen from here almost a hundred yards away. Naruto walked forward, and Sakura walked with him, and as she approached, the gates opened and Naruto saw the village beyond.

Now, Naruto had traveled a bit during his times needed by other royals. He had gone into the Akimichi Savannah where it was hot and their walls and houses were made of dirt and water and made into bricks mixed in and covered with wood to look nice to the eye. He had been up north to the icy Inuzuka plains, where, unlike their own woods to the south, their houses were dug into the snow itself and made for huge houses underneath the packs of ice as sled dogs and warriors fought above while the Inuzuka and their human sized hounds were born and raised their young below the snow and into the frozen dirt far below.

But these houses were as medieval as could be, with their stone walls and their stone chimneys, with light gray smoke whipping up into the air above them. The roads were stone walkways and there were even small circles of green grass where children were playing with the others, as baby pups rolled around, massing their backs against the soft plants beside them.

"Children?" Naruto breathed and looked to Sakura who smiled and nodded her head.

"Yes, Naruto. My creations are fertile, and able to have children."

"But Sakura, there are four year olds in these piles." Naruto stood, eyes amazed at the young girls and boys running around everywhere in the village.

"I suppose that they grow twice as fast as normal children, but as they hit puberty, their aging slows to what is considered normal. I am the oldest person here, with just about half of the original soldiers being my age." Sakura smoke as Naruto bent down to rub a wolf's belly.

"Half?" Naruto asked as he looked up, his hand hovering over the wolf to watch as Sakura looked away and Naruto saw a stray tear fall away, as well as seeing the children pause in their playing to shed more tears before continuing in their little games.

"...Sorry." Sakura sniffled after a brief cry.

"Don't be."

"...I've been fighting all this time, Naruto. With enemies who want me dead, and I have to defend myself, and my soldiers risk their lives for me. So I gave them this city, to live life as it should be kept. They can be happy here, and have families of their own..."

"Sakura-Chan…"

"I mean, some have died, but I have raised up four new soldiers for each one I've lost! I know that they cannot win against me. They have never passed my walls, and they never will arrive at these gates. In this city, all is at peace. There is no chance of a spy coming in, because we all feel the other's aura around us, and are happy here."

Naruto placed his hand on top of Sakura's, and rubbed her knuckles and she smiled at him thankfully. "Sakura, this place…it looks just like Port Haruno."

Sakura looked to Naruto and say his question forming inside his eyes as she shook her head, her bangs moving to cover her eyes a little. "I couldn't continue to live there, Naruto. There are so many bad memories, and I fear that I would have destroyed so much just to move on. I am made to be bring about life, not destruction, and I need to continue to lead with my new life and the life of my people."

"But Sakura, your people are waiting for you." Naruto spoke and Sakura moved off one of the side streets, Naruto following her after a second, noticing once again how the people around them grew quiet for a few seconds and then continued on their road of play and work. When Naruto found Sakura, she was on a small ledge high above him, and near the side of the castle itself, and he soon saw the stairs of ice that Sakura had made just now to get up to that very ledge, the glow still bright within the ice itself.

Naruto began to make his way up to the ledge, noticing how shiny the ice was and knew by that how new it was. Even ice over time losses its shine and the city, though appearing to be made of stone, was simply ice mixing with the stone of the mountain to create a pseudo kind of stone. Everything here was a form of ice, and Naruto's body still shivered from the cold up here, as he was not used to this element.

"Sakura?" Naruto called out from a few feet behind her and she slowly turned her head, Naruto watching her black skirt and leggings melt the snow around her into the mountain itself and smiled at him, her eyes tearing up at his last words. Naruto walked until he was at her side and then slowly joined her on the precarious edge, waiting for her to explain, but soon, he felt he had to ask.

"Sakura…your people want you back. You can provide for them in this place."

"Naruto, you don't understand. I've died twice now…once when I forced you to leave, and the second when I was hung in the square. I was dead, Naruto. I saw…I saw my parents, my grandparents, my ancestors, and I was ready to meet them...Imagine waking up to see nothing around you, having lost the love you had for everything and everyone."

"I can't imagine what you went through, but you're alive. Your people deserve their Queen."

"No…" Sakura shook her head, and Naruto saw her now longer hair whip into her face and hid her eyes from view as she spoke her grave words. "Naruto, the people pledged their lives to me, and my knights, and my servants, and Ino. But as I died, those oaths became null and void. They no longer are binding oaths."

"Sakura, they want to pledge to you again then."

"I gave them a ruler to pledge to. I gave them Ino, and as far as I have seen, she has been doing a great job at leading them. Within a year or two, Ino will have married Prince Nara, and her people will become one with Nara's people. All will be fine."

"Ino doesn't want to lead. She knew about you, and always tried to tell me that you were dead and gone and that I should move on, but I saw into her eyes every time that she wanted the exact opposite. "

"…Isn't this view magnificent?" Sakura asked, and Naruto sighed as he let her change the subject. "Snow is everywhere you can see…isn't this the best season, Naruto?"

"Well…I always liked Spring actually, Sakura."

"Well…that's okay, I suppose…Naruto, I don't belong in the world that I used to live in, but I belong here, even if this place is always trying to be invaded and crushed and get myself killed. You and I…that's all we need. You are the only one that I want to renew my oath with."

Naruto paused, and Sakura stared over at him and smiled, before she grabbed his hand and slowly picked it up as Naruto raised his eyes as she raised her blouse and placed his hand on her flat white stomach, where Naruto felt another chill run down his body at the heat that Sakura gave him.

"You and I can lead these people around us, Naruto. You and I…and that of our children…."

"Sakura…."

"…..I know….everything in the old world told us that we couldn't be, and yet look around you, Naruto. My parents and yours tried to change that, and we flourished together. I helped you achieve your legendary speed, and you gave me a heart that beats to your will alone. We are not in Port Haruno anymore; we are free, and we can do whatever we want in this place.

"Our children…and our children's children…they can lead the world into a new era, where witches like me aren't killed because they are special, and people understand each other and can come to realize that just because you have magic and another does not, that you are all the same. I want you, Naruto, because when I died…it was Your face that I last saw, and I couldn't understand why until I came here. It's because I need you beside me to rule this place."

"Why?"

"My people, and the children especially, respond to my emotions. When I am angry, they feel the anger, and when I feel lust, they feel lustful. But they have others they can be with. I cannot, and so when they have children, I feel so incomplete. And because of that, when I am sad, they become depressed. But Naruto, we've always been in this spiraling circle, coming closer and closer together, and now, we can close that gap between us that has been ever eluding.

"I would give you my body, my soul to use as you see fit. I would be paraded through the capitals of the world with nothing to cover me if you so much as asked me too, and I would bear your children because I know now that I can be with you…forever."

"Saku-Chan…" Naruto whispered and leaned forward, his lips meeting Sakura's own lips in a soft manner, their lips smacking as they parted from the brief and chaste kiss before Sakura pulled him back and closed the gap between them once more, before they were soon moving through the now empty streets, and Naruto knew that like Sakura, who he knew expected him to perform, the other people were now waiting for what would happen, inside their homes, with their lovers.

(AGAIN: Made for those of the Age of Consent)

Sakura opened the large door to her room with a single hand, making Naruto wonder how strong Sakura was before he was literally thrown on the bed with Sakura jumping on top of him, like she was embracing her more animalistic side, which he admired so much.

Sakura's clothing with soon to be shredded not by Naruto, but rather by Sakura herself, as she ripped off the blouse and leggings before Naruto could stop her. But as Sakura moved to rip the strings of her corset, Naruto grabbed her hands firmly and Sakura paused herself, and watched as Naruto began to shower her in a small trail of kisses up and down her neck. This wasn't like how he was with Alice, this was him showing Sakura how much he loved her and how much he trusted her.

Sakura leaned her head back and moaned. "My body is yours, Naru." Sakura whispered huskily as Naruto simply spun her slowly around and kissed the back of her neck and began to untie every single string supporting her corset, and as each line loosened, Naruto planted one kiss on the spot, making Sakura hold her legs together as they quivered for what she was hoping to come.

Soon, the last string came loose and Naruto moved to sit in front of Sakura, who held her arms to her chin, holding the corset up, as if asking permission to show him her body once more. Naruto brought her hands downwards and the corset became one of the items on the floor, as Naruto stared at Sakura's, no longer Alice's, breasts, how the tips protruded from the cold at all times, and remembered that Sakura's body, while normally colder than most, was always sensitive and ready to receive pleasure.

Naruto placed his hands near the tips, and grazed them with his palms, and Sakura groaned and leaned back into the silk sheets, as Naruto leaned forward and moved his hands in a circular manner, one towards the right, and the other towards the left, as Sakura bit her tongue to keep the moans from becoming too loud at the opposing hands working in opposite directions, as her mind grew hazy with lust,

Naruto soon lowered his mouth and Sakura's breathing became erratic as Naruto's hot breath moved to her right breast, breathing just barely over the tip and Sakura arched her back, pushing the tip into his lips, before Naruto's tongue flashed out and wrapped around her tip, making Sakura moan and arch her back more, gyrating her hip bone into Naruto's growing member, wanting to feel him inside her.

Naruto moved further into Sakura's breast, his left hand pulling her left breast by the tip while he pressed into her right breast with his mouth, sucking it and licking it as she writhed underneath it. Naruto moved his right hand along Sakura's body, down to her hip and then up to cup her face, where her eyes opened before she leaned up and pulled Naruto off of her.

Naruto looked to her before she sat up to his level and pressed her lips before him, making him groan as her delicate hands moved to untie the strings of his pants, and as the last came undone, Sakura began to frantically pull at the fabric, and Naruto raised himself, as his pants joined Sakura's leggings on the floor, followed by his shirt and jacket in the process.

Sakura moved her hands along Naruto's shoulders as she pressed her hip into his, making him moan into her mouth as she rubbed her hands along his back, gliding across the almost healed wounds she had made from the last time they had tried this. Sakura's hands moved to Naruto's chest and pushed him a few inches away, sculpting and memorizing his chest and abs with her nails and making him buck at her on occasion. Sakura smiled as she lowered her mouth to Naruto's member and began to take him inside her oral cave.

Naruto looked up at the ice frosted ceiling, stunned at the feeling of Sakura's tongue wrapping around him, feeling himself grow harder as Sakura continued her ministrations of moving up and down along his length, and smiling up above him. His magic inside him was at peace and his mind was blank, with only the desire and lust and love he had to tell him how to please Sakura.

After a few minutes, Naruto heard Sakura moan a bit and looked down to place his hand on her bare ass, after she had raised her skirt to finger herself from her own ministrations. Naruto grabbed at her ass, moving it and swatting it lightly as Sakura moved faster and faster, and soon Naruto leaned over and his fingers moved to grasp Sakura's wet and dripping fingers, making her pause herself to moan as Naruto moved his finger along her maiden's entrance.

She was ready for him, and so Naruto grabbed Sakura's hair, pulling her off him gently because she would want to continue to please him, but he wanted to please her as well, and leaned forward, as Sakura widened her legs to allow him access to position himself to her entrance.

Naruto' hands moved to Sakura's thighs, so strong and yet so feminine, her magic making her bones and muscles strong while keeping her skin healthy. His hands moved to her hip, and seeing no blemish, he moved through her stomach to lastly press into her marble colored breasts, as Sakura moaned and looked to him with half-lidded eyes, as her magic moved into her hands, and she nodded to Naruto as he leaned down to cup her face before he placed his hands once more at her hips and thrust himself inside her entrance.

Sakura arched her back as Naruto slid in easily as he had over the last few weeks, and her body continued to be greedy, taking him in and then squeezing him to hold him inside, as she leaned up to grasp at his back, her feet interlocking around his pelvis as Naruto pounded her insides, making her quiver as her stomach burned and the smell of burning flesh became pronounced from Naruto's back which sizzled with smoke.

Naruto moved through the pain though, his eyes baked in tears as he smiled at Sakura and slammed into her harder, making her gasp and move to breathe again, only to gap instead, only able to release the non-existent air inside her body.

"Naru-Kun…Stay with me…N-Naru…I Love You…God Yes…." Sakura's voice echoed in the domed room, her voice echoing in circles above them. Naruto heard them and slammed harder, his member pushing past her defenses as he reached the end and the final barrier between Sakura and childbirth.

"Oh God! Stay with me forever! Naru!" Sakura screamed as she climaxed and spasmed, her magic cutting deeper than usual into Naruto's back, sending lines down to Naruto's hip and shoulders, making his limbs shake as his magic responded as he sped up his actions, and angled himself underneath Sakura as she bounced upon him, echoing her name as he climaxed inside her with enough force to shatter Sakura's ice and burn a hole through the entire earth.

As their orgasms came to a close, the two breathed deeply, and fell upon the bed, Naruto pulling out as Sakura's magic moved to seal itself inside him, healing some of the wounds along the way. Sakura's eyes closed as she pulled Naruto to her, and held him softly.

"Don't leave me….Never again."

(END MATURE)

A few hours later, the young Queen of Port Haruno slept quietly on her white silk bed, the curtains pulled close to cast a shiny light of stars upon her from an effect of her magic, while near her balcony, Naruto stood against the railing, looking up at the new moon in the sky filled with stars, and saw what seemed to be a red light slice against the dark blue sky.

A red comet…was that supposed to be an omen of things to come? Good or bad? Naruto had never cared for omens, because they dictated a sort of fate, and he preferred the possibility that God had plans for him no matter what he chose in his life.

Naruto cast a glance back at Sakura's peaceful sleep, and the smile on her face. Her silk sheets did nothing to hide her beauty from his eyes, and she was happy with him here and he was happy that she was here, that he was here with her, beside her.

And yet, Naruto felt that though he loved Sakura, there was something that she was not telling him, like her feelings for him would be enough for him to stay with her and keep him in the dark. A cloud swept over a cluster of stars and the light around Naruto dimmed. The darkness moved in towards him, hoping to consume him, and make him mistrust Sakura.

But then Naruto's expression changed, and he looked back at Sakura's sleeping form. She wanted him at her side, and in all fairness, he wanted nothing more than to continue to be here at her own side. This was where he belonged, he knew that he belonged here with her. He didn't want to be here in this frozen world, but he did want to be with her.

Naruto moved back inside, and moved under the covers before Sakura moved her nubile frame around his, warming both of them up from the cold, whether it be from the cold air or from the warmth that the body provided. Naruto sighed as he rested his head above Sakura's and combed through her hair.

Sakura would come clean and tell him when she was ready. He just hoped that she did that soon, and that she could understand if he pushed away from it. She needed him as much as he needed her; they needed each other to keep themselves together, and so they would remain as one, here in this room, in this bed, just relishing in the moment as the world slowed down the time around them, and let them take in this one single moment, and turn it into a frozen memory, to keep...for eternity.

AN: Well? What Do You All Think?
