Reviewers;
Czar Joseph: I thank you my Czar. You have been Most Inspiring. Now, I must speak to your brother Czar. May you both live in happy memories
Czar Ryno: I am glad my Czar, that you hate Mark. That is precisely the way I intended to make him seem. It may in fact stem from my personal experience that most of the Marks I have met are jerks. I am proud to have a Czar as great as yourself have emotion for my humble story.
NerdSoXx: Precisely why I created his minor character. For precisely this reason.
Duh Bomb: I love how your rhymes continue even after you consciously stop the rhyme scheme of the review.
7th Demon of Razgriz: Sadly, not much will be said about him. I only made him as plot and not so much as a recurring character. We will leave him to rot in jail and be done with him.
Tony Blu: No need to apologize. You reviewed, didn't you? ;) I know the feeling of a busy life, and school is at the halfway point for me, hence...midterms. Not too bad really and I enjoy the feelings, but the time allotted to study. I study well, but when I look up, four hours have gone by. No time left to even read stories. Anyways, I'm rambling; Yes, I have noticed how my stories usually come with two possiblities and I could if I was so cruel, have another story with the other side as a factor, but I try to stay in the light. Stroll in the dark for a bit, but at the sound of chaos, I return to the light.
I'm glad that you help me to realize that I do in fact real life situations, at least in the background. I am a logical person, and have not seen much of these things happening, but I know they happen. So I bring them into my stories I suppose. Actually, it's the Painter and the Goddess; Sakura raised on pedestal, and yet she Lowers herself to be his Muse. I obviously prefer this kind of review by the obvious two paragraphs of returned commentary, and though I know -Kun is a turnoff for you, I just can't stop. Naruto says Chan so in my writer's mind, Sakura says Kun. It is push and pull. Percy Jackson Series has Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl, though it ruins the flow, I guess I just like that. Anyways, your review looks big, so the bigger the review, the bigger my commentary back.
Logan Locke: Ah Logan, Logan, Logan, Logan. How are you? when you had math stats to my review count, it makes me thinks about that number and how more people should be responding. I talked to our mutual friend, she was exstatic to say the least. We, plural, love your reviews. As for NaruSaku, I usually make the couple known around this point and they have the calm before thee storm. I am surprised you didn't pick up on that right away. However, you saw the loneliness that I failed to see and yes, they love the time spent together as that healing factor.
I know I said this before, but really, turtles? They have it hard enough, man! Trying to get past those shells! Are you calling my characters thick-skinned and reptiles? Ew! That's Sasuke! Anyways, foxes are more like us than we realize and much more docile when you have seen them in the wild. As for Ino, you can see the wanting to be in a normal relationship, since her best friend's roles are reversed with hers, and she wants the guy that loves her unconditionally. The fact that she asked Naruto if she was hot was irrelevant, just to appease those InoNaruSaku fans, which I am as well, just not as much.
Mark...oh mark, how my other reviewers hate him so. He is psychoatic and mental. He will be getting help, out of story of course.
XxAshishxX: of course you Do! They are the best couple!
ILuvYouHaters: really? Broken up with Sakura?
Mundanebeast: Yes, it is. no need for a trial if he admits he's guilty.
ArkAngel1179: He is shocked, but it is coupled moreso with his hand and injuries. I know that I didn't explain it, but it was more a goading comment than meant to shift the story, though the couple will move forward now. You are a glutton for punishment. You are the Ark Angel after all.
DizzGirlJess: Jess...you should know by now that Naruto can make many...many clones. Also...why is he tied to you bed?
Lestibur: Some drama yes, but not all. I couldn't write a drama, way to sad and goes on fooorrrevveeerrrr...like Days of our lives. It's been on...how long?
AN: So...everyone hates Mark...Good! My responses to reviews are getting insane...Great! On a side note, Foxes are amazing creatures, and in just two more generations...probably four to six years...they will be considered...DOMESTICATED! Therefore, one can have them as a PET! They can be trained easier than a dog, fun to play with, second to man's best friend, and loyal beyond belief! Anywho! Welcome to...
Tone and Stroke
Chapter 11: A Painter's Motivation
Monday night turned into Tuesday and Tuesday molded eventually into Friday. As these days had had come to pass the pinkette by, Sakura grew more and more worried for Naruto. Since their last encounter, Naruto had skipped school for the whole rest of the week. He was lucky that there was only a week left until graduation, but when he wasn't there around her, Sakura felt like a piece of her was missing.
Sakura had tried calling him but to no avail. All she got was silence on the other end of the line and his stupid grinning voice-mail. She knew he was grinning...because she had convinced him to change it while she was there. She had even gone over to his place to comfort him, but when she tried to stick her key in the lock, she found the chain was locked in place and she had spent the better part of an hour looking like a homesick puppy through the small opening, pleading for Naruto to let her in.
The bell for the end of school sounded and Ino walked over, to Sakura's relief. Ino was the only damn reason Sakura wasn't banging down on Naruto's door constantly, and would have pitched a tent at his doorstep. Literally, she had a tent in her car and Ino had taken it out so that when Sakura got there, she couldn't find it and after realizing her erratic thoughts had headed back and thanked Ino for helping her understand better.
"Hey, Sakura." Ino comforted her friend. "You ready for tonight?"
"Sure." Sakura shrugged her shoulders and followed Ino out to her car. Sakura sat in the passenger's seat with her feet next to her butt on the edge of the seat and held her head on top of her knees as Ino drove to Sakura's house. Once they got there, Ino parked the car and grabbed her sleepover bag and pulled Sakura out of the car before they walked up the front steps and into the house beyond.
Ino stopped just past the door to let Sakura pass her as she continued her ritual of what she had done all this week and headed straight to her couch and curled into a little ball in the fetal position, her head on the leather of the armrest. Ino sighed and sat down next to her, picking up Sakura' head and placing it in her lap before she combed her best friend's hair, as they did all their childhood lives as best friends when one was sad and depressed.
After a good hour of just watching television, and petting Sakura's hair, Ino stopped and held Sakura down as Sakura tried to get up. Sakura groaned as her plan to try to sneak off on her own failed. Ino had on a sad face as she looked down at Sakura.
"Where were you going to go, Sakura?"
"To my room."
"You need to go and see Naruto."
"He won't see me, Ino. He must not like me anymore. I'm not his muse anymore. I'm the reason Mark broke his hand!"
"Nonsense." Ino shook her head. "Now, Sakura, here is what we're going to do. I am going to take you to Naruto's house, you will ring his doorbell and make your way inside, and then you and Naruto will be back together."
"What if he doesn't answer?"
"Then, after you wait a bit, you can come back. And we'll eat a whole tub of ice cream." Ino sighed, noticing that Sakura had been eating her ice cream for the last few days. Ino breathed in after Sakura still didn't move before pulling Sakura up to her feet. "Come on! Let's go."
Ino pulled up to Naruto's apartment and braked, sending Sakura and herself slightly forward in their seats. Sakura looked at Ino appreciatively for pushing her today as well as all week to come to Naruto's house, even if every time so far had been in vain. Ino watched as Sakura stepped out of the car of her own accord for the first time in awhile and moved around the front of the car.
Sakura was always nervous and a terrible person who sulked about things out of her control, but when you convinced her to do something about it, she may not have a smile on her face, but she held a determination in her eyes, and Ino knew that Sakura would actually give it another shot with Naruto.
"Thanks again, Ino. You can leave now."
"Um…Sakura, what are you saying exactly?" Ino asked, making sure that she was hearing right.
"You're right about this whole situation. It needs to stop; so I'm not leaving here until I convince Naruto to accept me back. So leave Ino, or else I'll come down so quickly crying like the little child I've been all week."
"Okay Sakura, but I'm just a phone call away." Ino smiled before suddenly, Sakura's phone fell onto her lap. "Sakura?"
"Don;t say anything else, or else I'll give that up too. If I fail, I'll need the walk back to clear my head."
"But Sakura, that's eight miles!"
"Good. Bye Ino." Sakura called out as she made her way up the stairs and disappeared from view. Ino sighed and turned the car around and made her way back to Sakura's house. When she came home tonight, or more likely, tomorrow morning, she'd have a crying pink haired girl to take care of.
Sakura looked out from the stairwell between the floors as Ino turned around and left and sighed back into the column behind her. Sakura looked over and saw Naruto's door to her right and trudged over to it before she stood before it.
Naruto's door looked so intimidating right now. Its simple wooden look could easily keep a girl like Sakura from breaking into the room beyond. Sakura sighed and placed her hand flat on the wood before forming a fist and used her knuckles to knock loudly on the door.
"Naruto?" Sakura called out and as time passed, Sakura slowly spoke out. "It's Sakura. Can I come in? Naruto? Please! Y-you're not well, are you? Are you sick? ...Naruto…please talk to me."
Sakura placed her ear on the door and tried to listen for any sound that Naruto might make. Anything could appease her, a footstep towards the door, a word from Naruto telling her to back off, a single sound of breath to let her know that he was alive and still cared for her. She just wanted to hold him and know that he was real.
Sakura sighed and reached for her spare key that Naruto had given her the day after the lake party. Sakura put the key in the lock and twisted the door open. The chain should have been on the door…but it wasn't this time. Sakura sighed happily at that little fact as the door swung all the way inwards. Naruto had taken off the chain, maybe he was getting better after all. Maybe she still was his muse, and maybe she was...his Goddess?
Sakura smiled lightly and walked forward, passed the kitchen into the hallway and made her way to the main area. It was good that Ino had left her here, she would be with Naruto tonight and after he got better, maybe he could…help get her off. Sakura hated to admit it, but she had been getting rather attached to Naruto, maybe more than a summer fling, but she had been sexually frustrated since Naruto had been injured that day, and when she tried to do herself, she got…nothing out of it. She was aroused, it hurt to try, her fingers cracked and were sore, and she berated herself for doing it afterwards. That's why she needed Naruto right now, and since he was broken, she needed to fix him first, placing his needs before her own.
But as Sakura stepped into the main area, she gasped in widened surprise, as tears fell down her face. Canvases were everywhere, on their easels, on the couch, dropped on the floor, and in each and every one of them were numerous…cuts and slash marks.
Each canvas had the beginnings of a painting but each was torn apart as if by a painter's blade used to cut a painting's edges. The paintings that had been started also had numerous splotches on them that were made out of clear anger and frustration. Sakura looked around the room and choked back a sob as some of Naruto's lesser works were cut and ripped as well and Sakura grazed one of Ino's paintings in the corner that Naruto had told her was one of his favorites. Now, it had slash marks all around it.
Sakura shook her head to clear it and focused her eyes towards the balcony and the room next to it. Sakura slowly walked forward, trying not to trip over the various paint cans and cut canvases in the darkly lit room. Naruto was a clean painter, picking up things before he finished. This wasn't like him at all. Sakura turned the corner and found the light switch for the bedroom and turned it on.
And there, on the bed was where Sakura found Naruto, just sitting at the edge of the bed, eyes widening as the light came on and staring at his hand. Sakura saw that he hadn't showered in days and his entire room was a mess just like the rest of his apartment.
Sakura didn't gawk at him though, or speak at all. Words were useless right now in this moment. Sakura slowly walked forward and took a seat next to Naruto on the bed, the springs sounding a bit as it took the added weight. Sakura saddened when Naruto didn't look at her. Wasn't she still his muse? His lifelong muse like he promised to never forget her? He had seen her naked and now, he dared not look at her? Had she become that revolting in his eyes?
Sakura slowly reached over and smiled lightly at the shiver that showed along Naruto's skin as she grabbed his once injured hand. Sakura grabbed it harder and with her other hand moving across the small distance before she placed it under Naruto's chin.
"Naruto? Are you ready to let me in yet?" Sakura asked but what met with silence. Sakura grimaced and held Naruto's chin and forcibly turned his face to look at hers. "You already let me back into your home. It's time to tell your girlfriend the truth."
"Like I could ever have a girlfriend." Naruto muttered and slowly, Sakura's hands found purchase on his cheeks, and as she caressed them, he melted under her touch and Sakura felt Naruto's head slowly and gently drop to the center of her breasts where she wrapped her arms around his head as he cried into her.
"Naruto, what happened? Your paintings are broken."
"I-I can't hold a brush anymore Sakura." Naruto mumbled out through her breasts. Most wouldn't be able to understand him, but Sakura did. She was his girlfriend for a reason after all.
"What do you mean?"
"Every time I pick up a brush, I feel so much pain. I tried to fight through it Sakura, I really did, but it doesn't help at all. I can't make you beautiful anymore. " Naruto muttered out incessantly as his life fell down around him. "You should just find another who can please you."
"Naruto, what do you mean? It's just a brush."
"No, it happens with everything I hold in my right hand. I can't hold a spoon for more than five seconds, how the hell am I supposed to hold you in my arms, or carry you through the threshold? I'm useless." Naruto cried and Sakura combed through her hair, thinking about anything that could be hindering her Naruto like this. Slowly, a firm idea formed in her head.
"Naruto, I think I may know what the problem is. It's all mental. The doctors said that your hand was fine, but your mind has been broken by the experience." Sakura pushed Naruto up and a shining emerald eye looked into his hazy mist blue. "You're going to get past this and do everything you want to do in life."
Naruto shook his head sadly. "No...I've lost everything I ever had."
Suddenly a powerful slap and hand mark found their mark on Naruto's stunned cheek and Naruto looked up to see tears flowing out of Sakura's eyes down her face as quiet whimpers sounded out of her throat.
"You haven't lost everything, Naruto-Kun. You still have me!"
"Sakura?" Naruto eyes widened and deglazed and Sakura saw a small bit of Naruto return to the surface. Sakura couldn't miss this opportunity and so quickly pushed her face forward and locked lips with Naruto's, throwing all the passion, lust, sexual urges, both happy and sad memories, and most of all, the love she had for Naruto from the first season of knowing him into the kiss.
Naruto gasped as he felt each and every one of these things from Sakura and poured in his own side of these things into her, some of them pressing between the both of them as heavy desires formed and they slowly began to roam around with their limbs and hands, intent on doing things that had not been done in a week.
Sakura's hands were the first to find the edge of Naruto's shirt and she waited until Naruto found the bottom of her own shirt before they parted. Their hands rose up, pulling the other's shirt up and over their heads, where they were both revealed to be topless, and Sakura's bust was already hard with wanting.
The two continued forward in their ritual and continued to kiss, while Sakura moved to undo Naruto's belt as Naruto unzipped her skirt at the side. As these became undone, the two lovers stood up on their knees and the fabrics fell away. The two continued to feel the other's warmth until Naruto was pushed on his back and felt Sakura pull his boxers down until they met with his fallen pants and then taken off his body completely.
The two lovers sat back up breathing heavily as their minds replayed their events and Naruto's member pressed heavily into Sakura's pelvis, where her panties pushed inside her as the head of Naruto's member pushed against it.
Sakura's body quivered at the feeling of Naruto's member barely a centimeter inside her. It was making her go crazy and yet…she wanted more. Sakura looked to Naruto and grabbed his mentally hurt hand and dropped it right on top of his left breast. Sakura grimaced at Naruto's inaction. This was what he was best at, pleasing her so that she could pleasure him, but she wanted more than him in her mouth tonight.
"You know…" Sakura began, noticing that Naruto was nervous. Heck, she was just as nervous as he was. "I never thought that I'd do this kind of thing with a guy like you. Maybe if I was drunk senseless," Sakura giggled sadly, dropping her head to clear her thoughts before she smiled. "But you know, in a way I am…I am drunk with passion for you Naruto-Kun."
"Sakura?" Naruto muttered as Sakura placed her own hand above his, and though smaller, her fingers covered the center of his.
"Naruto, you can do anything for me, right?"
"O-Of course."
"Then you can paint me."
"Saku-" Naruto began to protest.
"You can grope me." Sakura emphasized as she curled her fingers, making Naruto's fingers grope her. Naruto felt the warmth radiating out of her tip which was in the palm of his hand. "Are you feeling pain?"
"No." Naruto breathed, too astonished to say anything else.
"When you paint, think of me. When you go about your day, think of me, for I will think of you Naruto. When you grope me," Sakura whispered. "Go all the way."
Naruto slowly flexed his own hand and Sakura let go, letting her head fall back and pushed her upper frame slowly into his hand as she let out a hearty moan. The two looked at each other; they didn't want only foreplay anymore, it wouldn't suffice anymore. They wanted to reach to the heavens above with all that they had.
Warning: M for a Reason-Lemon-If not allowed, do not read. You know if you are allowed. Everything i write is to pronounce a feeling of Love and Emotion, not just smut. Please look for the romance as you read on. If not allowed to read, Skip to end.
Slowly, Naruto let Sakura fall on her back and stayed above her, his member above her core, and Naruto's hand confidently moved down and pulled the panties he had bought for her down, and off one foot, leaving it on the other for the rest of the night in forgotten bliss.
Naruto bent his knee and parted Sakura's legs until he pressed up against her heated core. Sakura moaned loudly and as Naruto looked down, he saw that Sakura was already well lubricated for him. He looked at Sakura who grew embarrassed and shivered as she had been found out.
"I've wanted you so bad, Naruto-Kun." Sakura shivered as the want and desire filled her voice. "Please don't make me wait any longer. Make me the woman that I am in your paintings."
Naruto dropped lower and soon his member touched against entrance to her womanhood. Sakura readjusted herself on the bed as Naruto's member rubbed against her and suddenly slid over her entrance and instead hit her clit, making her so horny.
Naruto tried again and it popped out, and so Naruto held his own member in his hands and dug it two inches inside Sakura, making her readjust herself madly as she let tears fall down her face. Naruto reached up and comforted his goddess. At this moment, she was so much more than his paintings, and her beauty was beyond compare to anything she held before.
Sakura nodded her head as Naruto sunk down to three inches and hit her barrier. Naruto looked at her one last time; did she really want this to be given to him? But as he looked at his lover, he saw her smile inside the pain of him pushing against her hymen and with a firm thrust, Naruto took what was right before him, and Sakura gasped as blood slowly trickled down his member as he killed off the girl inside Sakura and out of the pain grew a pleasure in which the woman now known as Sakura craved and was made of.
After a few minutes, Sakura readjusted her lower self along Naruto's member which was now halfway inside her, and bucked so hard that Naruto grimaced as he slid the rest of the way inside Sakura. Sakura felt her stomach churning and yet they had only just begun. She-she couldn't climax already?!
Naruto himself felt his member twitching inside Sakura and had a feeling that being a virgin didn't help him to last long and so, quickly he pulled out and slowly pushed himself back in. Sakura moaned loudly as pleasure filled her insides and suddenly Naruto's mouth was on hers and her eyes bore into his.
Slowly, Naruto thrusted in and out of Sakura as she bucked and her body melded into his. Naruto and Sakura had no control over their own bodies and on the fifteenth thrust deep inside Sakura's womb, Naruto exploded as Sakura bit his lower lip and climaxed out of herself. From below and between them, their juices mixed and after two minutes of waves of their essences, they seeped along Naruto's member and along Sakura's thighs to the white linens of the mattress below.
End Mature
Naruto pulled out and pulled Sakura up to his chest as they breath erratically and looked down at the mess they had caused. Their essence mixed with a little of Sakura's blood on the mattress and they saw the same scene on Naruto's member and the entirety of Sakura's crotch and thighs.
Naruto felt Sakura fall into his chest and cry uncontrollably but happily into him. Naruto laid back, pulling his other covers over their essence and readjusted themselves over the comforter and bed. Now, as they spooned the other in the other's embrace, they smiled.
"We are one, Naruto-Kun."
"I can't believe you allowed me your first time."
"You better take my second and third times as well, Naruto." Sakura smiled into her sexual lover.
"You are truly my Goddess."
Sakura smiled wider. "Getting possessive, are we?"
"I am."
"Then I will be too. You are My Painter, and you always will be."
And like that, they passed out from their love-making, and the world looked down on them and saw that it was good.
They are...One!
