CHAPTER RATING: M
Episode 17: Royal Consort, Part II: Couples
Sakura pushed her body against Naruto's when he felt her lips meet his. She slid her hands into his jacket, moved her arms around his body, and slowly began to take off his jacket. His arms relaxed, letting his jacket fall down onto his bed. Sakura brought her hands to his hair, entangling them in it while letting him down.
Naruto slowly laid his head down, feeling Sakura's body press up against his. She separated his lips and looked into his eyes.
"Are you still in pain?" she asked. He didn't respond, only managing to shake his head; she unzipped her own shirt and let it fall to the floor. She kissed him again, wrapping her tongue around his. Her pants slid down her legs while she pulled down his zipper; with their lips still connected she moved and straddled him.
She gently pushed her body against his, continually rubbing herself against him, the sensation she felt sent chills up her spine; he could feel his erection growing with her every movement. Sakura gently pulled aside her black panties.
They both took in a deep breath as she lowered herself and took him in. Sakura softly moaned in pleasure as she continued to move against him. She gave in to the tingling in her body and fell on top of him.
The heat of her body aroused him. She continued to move at a faster pace. She wrapped her arms around his neck and tightly embraced him. He could feel her breath on his ear as she held him tightly.
He returned her embrace by wrapping his arms around her body, and pulling her closer as she continued to move her hips. His body shook with every movement she made, every moment she rubbed against him caused shockwaves through her body.
The both let out great gasps for air as they both came to a climax. Sakura collapsed on top of Naruto and rested her head on his bare chest. In deep gasps she asked him:
"Do you feel any better?"
"I feel much better."
…
"Do you understand your mission then?" Tsunade asked aloud. Sakura nodded her understanding; she looked over at Naruto, who was blankly staring into thin air.
"Naruto!" she snapped her fingers in front of his face.
No response.
"Naruto!" she shouted again while pushing him slightly.
"Oh, what? Sorry. I was kind of…thinking." He replied. "What was it again?" Tsunade shot him a look of annoyance.
"I'll explain it to him while we head out, don't worry, Master." Sakura said while she face-palmed.
"Good! On your way then!" Tsunade ordered. Sakura turned to Naruto, grabbed his hand, and led him out of the office. She tightly squeezed his hand, trying to bring him back to reality.
"Naruto!" she shouted again. He shook his head and tried to refocus his thoughts.
"Y-yes, what is it, Sakura-chan?"
"Is something wrong?"
"No, it's nothing…What's our mission again?"
Sakura took a deep breath. "We're going to be guards during a marriage ceremony for the son of the Daimyo."
Naruto nodded. "Marriage ceremony…?"
"Yes, his very one marriage ceremony, we're there to make sure nothing happens to him."
"Nothing happens to him? Like what? What could possibly happen to a faceless prince that nobody has ever seen?" he replied cynically.
"Well…He is the PRINCE of the country, so maybe someone would kidnap him, or try to assassinate him or something like that."
He nodded.
"Why did he ask for us to guard him, being a prince, you'd think that he'd be surrounded by palace guards or something like that."
"Yeah, But I guess they wanted a special team of shinobi, right?" she smiled at Naruto.
"Yeah-I guess so." He replied with a kind smile.
"After all, who is the one person who saved Konoha?"
He smiled and nodded.
…
Minutes after, the two met Shikamaru and Ino at Konoha's main gate. Ino ran towards Sakura and hugged her.
Naruto stepped up and shook Shikamaru's hand.
"Shikamaru? Ino? What are you two doing here? I thought it'd be Sai and Yamato-taichou." Sakura asked.
"We're going to be the ones who go on this mission with you, it was decided that we'd have the best abilities in this sort of mission." Shikamaru answered.
"Just like the old days, right, Shikamaru?" Naruto asked with a grin.
"Just like the old days." Shikamaru answered back with a smirk. "Alright, are you all ready? We're set to leave."
They all cheered and set out towards the royal palace.
Sometime later, while traversing a lone dirt road in the forests on the outskirts of Konoha, Shikamaru hung back with Naruto while Sakura and Ino lead the way.
"They decided that we should team together?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, the idea is, if anyone tried to pull anything, Ino and I can use our abilities to stop something that may happen."
Naruto nodded in understanding. They walked for a few more minutes, Sakura and Ino were conversing while Naruto and Shikamaru were both gazing at the clouds as they passed by.
"Women sure are troublesome aren't they?" Shikamaru abruptly asked.
both of them stopped in their tracks. "What do you mean?"
Shikamaru stopped and shifted his eyes towards the two Kunoichi in front of them that were still proceeding down the dirt road.
"Sakura hasn't given you any trouble yet?" Shikamaru questioned.
"What kind of trouble…? Wait…wait…You and Ino are…?"
"Yep. Suggested by her father." He shrugged.
"Does that mean that you don't love her?"
"I didn't say that." Shikamaru replied. "But even my old man knows how much trouble my mother is." He said somewhat depressively.
"Yeah, I guess so. But no, she's never given me any 'trouble' she's actually saved me multiple times." Naruto began. "In fact, she healed my broken ribs."
"You had broken ribs? Are you sure that you can handle a mission so soon?"
"Yeah, I'm feeling great thanks to her, I know I can do this."
"I guess even the savior of Konoha needs a savior, huh?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
…
At the same time…
"How have you been, Sakura? Anything interesting happen since I last saw you?" Ino asked.
"Well, a few things happened." Sakura answered back.
"Like what?"
"Well, for one, Naruto lost his memory once, but I helped him retain it…I broke his ribs, but they've healed too."
"You brought back his memory, and healed his ribs? No wonder Tsunade-sama took you in as her disciple!" Ino exclaimed.
"Y-yeah, did anything happen for you?" Sakura asked.
"Well…" Ino leaned in closer. "My father suggested that I go out with Shikamaru."
"You did?"
"I did."
"Do you…love him?"
"…I do." Ino answered with a smile.
"…Did you…use that technique yet?"
Ino nodded.
They both laughed.
…
"Two rooms, please." Shikamaru said while sliding money across a counter. The attendant brought two and handed them to Shikamaru.
"Enjoy your stay." She stated
"Thank you." He replied.
The team of four had entered a small inn on the side of the road, with a good amount of distance still between them until they reached the royal palace.
They met in the room that Ino and Shikamaru would stay in and once again, went over the basics of the mission.
"Here's how it will happen: during these marriage ceremonies, the prince will be given the option to pick a bride that he wants to wed." In unison, Ino, Sakura, and Naruto flinched at the news. "I know it sounds odd, but these are the customs of the Land of Fire. We don't have any say in the actually ceremony. So we're not going to make this a big deal."
"Y-yeah, but!...But!"
"Naruto, I understand how you feel, but our mission is to protect the prince, not to pass judgment upon the customs that the royal family follows. Remember that."
Naruto bit his lip and nodded.
"Okay, remember, we're there to protect him, and after the ceremony we'll come back home. Easy."
They all nodded.
"That's all, get some rest, we're heading out again tomorrow."
…
Sakura and Naruto sat in their room looking out of the open air window.
"What do you think about the prince being able to pick which girl he marries?" Sakura asked.
Naruto took a deep breath.
"I don't like it."
Sakura nodded in agreement.
He turned to her and saw the moon's reflection in her emerald eyes.
"When I become Hokage, I'll change it."
"I know you will."
Two stories on the same day, won't be submitting anything on Sunday, I think I'll take a break for a week also.
