Reviewers;
Hanmac: They Have done that! Just...out of the story. It's 'implied.' But a valiant effort.
Lestibur: Thanks. I always try, don't I?
Mundane Beast: Maybe. But this will be a long weekend.
Duh Bomb: They are together, my rap artist of a friend. Now they get to be more explicit with the other, if you know what I mean. ;)
JayK24: I am glad Jay to present you with a story that instills in you the feelings of your past. It is these feelings that I strive to bring forth and so I shall. On another note, thanks for reviewing as you read and caught up with the story. And I will try to add you on my pm list for my new stories, but just continue to review and I will do so anyways.
Fury Cutter: We won't. We have ingrained the 'true' meaning of Naruto's 'ninja way'. what do you mean shame on Sorakage? I completed the story, I thought very well. How to explain the inner turmoil between Naruto and Ino?
I really can't. The situation was grim for the both of them. Ino seen by the media and her friend as only sleeping with any guy, but Naruto is a nice guy. Naruto sees Sakura everywhere, most closely in Ino herself. You have to recall that reality is full of sudden actions and the feelings were there before Sakura met Naruto. Ino posing for him was a part of that, but it showed a possible other reality that could have taken place. Sakura could have ended up in Ino's shoes and Ino hers, but this is the reality I have tried to create for this story. That's the best I can think of.
XxAshishxX: Woah! Hold your reins Ashish! Who said they went public? ;)Also, who is Ladygt?
NaggotFigger: Thanks. Glad you like my NaruSaku story. Hope to perform well in the rest of my story.
Logan Locke: Ah Logan, how long you write. the 400-450 you wrote about. Well I'll explain in my AN about my next story a bit. As for the story comments, Sakura is happy while she is hidden because she knows that the attention will make her dizzy and blush, and while that is what everyone sees her as, the modest actress she is, it isn't something she feels is 'right,' but knows, 'it is'.
Ino is a bombshell, so she brings the bombs of newsflashes to Sakura's mind. It is something she has carried worried and stressed over among herself and Naruto. She felt horrible and then the time came to admit it. Sakura has never been one in my stories to judge right away and shows that she understood Ino's trial and forgives her. Just let me be biblical for a sec, "Forgive not 7*7, but 70*7", aka, forgive until you forget it.
The trip to Naruto's old place, huh? porno was false. Can you really see her dropping her walls for anyone But Naruto...besides Ino? :) He is hitting his stride, but is known now as Sakura's 'artist' in a way, and you'll see why in a few chapters or so. I feel like any boyfriend at seeing their 'girl' in that situation would make them happy for at least two weeks. At least, I would be :) Then yes, the absolute truth of the matters at hand, they love the other, what else matters? You got it Logan. This is only the beginning. I could even add another like, 3rd arc in a sense, but I know this arc is long enough.
An: Hey you Guys! So...I have been looking at things and winter is fast approaching for those in the northern hemisphere. Therefore it is growing colder and colder. So, I have been writing my next story's summary and the summary is almost done, hence I will soon start the write up of the story itself. But before that can happen, I must finish This story, so my goal is to restart the 3 chapters a weekend, or Friday, Saturday night, Monday Afternoon, until we reach the end. What do you say?
So, my next story is about...Fire, Ice, Lovers, Eternal Enemies, Touch, Keep it in, Fear, Blind, Houses in trees, Snow, and Life. I have based the initial look and beginning plot on a movie I say 4 months ago. Can you guess it? And tell me your initial thoughts on the course of the plotline of one word descriptions.
Okay? So this chapter is filler...but good tasteful filler ;) and we meet someone Cute! :)
Tone and Stroke
Chapter 18: Goddess of Nature
A month passed for the new couple, and while they were happy and content to be with each other as much as they could, they knew that as soon as they were found out by any kind of media, there would be a piranha frenzy and their allocated alone time together would drastically lessen and become front page story time. So for now, they remained a secret, though the stories that the media were coming up with was pretty close to the reality of truth.
Over the past month, on alternating days, Naruto would leave the gallery from the back entrance and meet Sakura in her jeep wearing a blonde wig with a ponytail in the back of a baseball cap and sunglasses to hide most of her face. And every time they met up, Sakura had to stifle giggles as Naruto stared at her and made comments such as how beautiful she looked as a blonde.
Unlike Naruto who had a private area in the backdoor to escape from, Sakura had the harder job of getting out of the paparazzi's eyes. Luckily, since she didn't have a job at the moment, she could use the excuse of randomly disappearing for possible job offers. Usually, she got a commercial every week or so, but besides that, she went to see Naruto, and had after a month of counting had spent a week worth of nights in his bed.
At the moment, Sakura and Naruto were driving in Sakura's jeep to a forest trail in the outskirts of Konoha. They were quick to arrive at the entrance since the trail was only five minutes from Naruto's apartment, and jumped out of the jeep, before picking up their water bottles and looked around them at the dirt parking lot.
Besides them, there was only one other car here, so there was maybe one more group ahead of them on the trail. Sakura sighed with a content smile adorning her face as she looked up at the clear blue sky and the gentle breeze that made the trees slightly sway to and fro. It was a Friday, but still students were in school, and people had work. What a shame, that her lover and herself got to enjoy this day together with no prying eyes to watch them. Today was simply…perfect.
"Shall we, Saku-Chan?" Naruto asked, using Sakura's pet name to call out to her, and Sakura smiled wider with a slight blush as they made their way onto the trail. It wasn't a long trail, only an hour worth to the top of a clearing and then thirty minutes back, but Sakura appreciated nature so much and this made her day.
"Naruto?" Sakura called out as they neared the top. "Thanks for today. You picked a really nice spot for our date."
"I have to, Sakura-Chan." Naruto smiled as he watched her ass move back and forth as she jumped from rock to rock high and higher up the trail. For today, Sakura had chosen to wear stretchable short shorts that she usually wore under her skirts, but this time just wore the black shorts since it was a little humid. Naruto's eyes glazed up towards her uncovered back, covered only by a black and red strip of her sports bra, and imagined rubbing his hands around her love handles that were the sides of her stomach and imagined her moaning at his touch. And when Sakura was wearing a sports bra that did little besides add a color of red and black to her upper figure. Finally, Sakura had chosen to take off her blonde wig and to wear a baseball cap to keep the sun out of her eyes and so her hair was done in a ponytail in the back.
"Anyways, Naruto. What do you think?" Sakura asked, but after a few seconds of no reply, she turned around to see Naruto's eyes completely focused on her ass. Sakura bit her bottom lip as she wanted Naruto to walk up and capture her lips with his and simply devour her right here in the middle of this trail, but he was too much of a boy scout to do that. However, she was a girl scout, so she knew of a few ways to make him waver. "Naruto?"
"Have I ever told you how amazingly sexy you are?" Naruto breathed out.
Sakura bit her bottom lip again to keep her laughter in check. Her boyfriend was such a baka. "Shut up." Sakura called out as she pulled his arm and dragged him in front of her, to keep him focused on the trail ahead and so that she could have her own turn checking his body out and admiring it.
By the time they got to the top, it was near three in the afternoon, and the group that had arrived before them had just past them on the way down. The two of them arrived at the top and sat down on the picnic table that the forest rangers had set up as a lunch area, and looked around.
Unfortunately for Sakura, as Naruto looked around, her eyes kept flashing around them and to where the trail was and zipping straight back to Naruto and then down to his member which was a little hard and bit her lip to try to hold it in, but after another minute, Sakura sighed and gave in to her lustful and naughty desires.
"Hey Naruto?" Sakura nudged Naruto's arm and as he looked at her, she knew that she was asking for the right thing.
"Yeah?"
"There was only that one car at the trail head when we got here and we already passed those hikers coming down, do you think…we could…you know?" Sakura asked suggestively, pointing to a small trail that could only lead nowhere.
Naruto shook his head at the absurdity of his girlfriend's actions. They'd had sex last night and they were usually content with their feelings for at least a whole day. Sakura was becoming such a sex addict. Though…the same could be said for him. "Here?!" Naruto let out an exasperated whisper.
"Uh-Huh," Sakura nodded, her body easily telling Naruto what she wanted as he saw her nipples harden underneath her sports bra.
"In plain view of anyone who goes a little off the trail?"
"…Uh-huh," Sakura smiled as her adventurous and daring sexual fantasy was coming to fruition.
"…OKAY!" Naruto smiled brightly before Sakura pulled on his arm and dragged him down the hidden trail and as they went to find a suitable spot to…copulate…his mind just keep reminding him that they had done this, though to a lesser extent, before near Konoha Lake when they first confessed their feelings for the other.
They stopped just inside a small clearing and immediately it was like a gunshot went off as Sakura turned around as fast as a whiplash and stuck her tongue straight down Naruto's throat as he tried to do the same. Their hands moved to Naruto's athletic shirt and shorts and immediately, they were off him.
Sakura moaned into Naruto's mouth as he teased her by kneading her breasts from outside her sports bra. "Naruto," she groaned.
"Beg for it." Naruto commanded huskily.
"Mmm…I want it."
Naruto smiled and soon, Sakura's voluptuous breasts were free and Naruto kneaded Sakura's topless form as she continued to moan into his mouth. Soon, the two were lying down next to a flat rock going at it like crazy, with Sakura's fingers dancing along Naruto's boxer's waistline, as Naruto was already inside Sakura's pantie line and ghosting his fingertips before Sakura's entrance.
Sakura moaned as she let Naruto begin his work and let her eyes drift over to the forest beyond before spotting something that was just perfect. Naruto suddenly heard Sakura coo aloud at something adorable and looked where her eyes were looking and smiled as well.
On the trail itself was a mother fox, just walking along the trail as if she were a human hiker. What was funny however were the three fox kits following her. One was directly following it's mother, matching it's steps with hers. One was trying to catch up and get back behind it's sibling. Finally, the last one of the litter was constantly jumping on top of the straggling kit and playfully biting its ear.
"They are adorable." Sakura cooed.
"Not as adorable as the look on your face right now." Naruto smiled as Sakura's face held a kind blush that grew redder as time passed and he smirked more as the redness moved to make her topless form shine. "Shall we continue?"
"Uh-Huh." Sakura smiled as they quickly shed the rest of their clothes, before readjusting themselves along the ground of the clearing and then with a single stroke, Naruto played a tune and Sakura was his instrument.
Back on the trail and out of sight, the mother fox's ears suddenly turned towards the two lovers, and her kits did the same, to mimic her and learn to survive in the wild. What they heard was startling, but then again, what wasn't in the quiet forests of Konoha?
"OH! Naruto-Kun!...Oh Yes! Ram me! Oh Yes! Fuck me like a vixen in heat! Yes… OW! OW! Naruto-Kun wai-Ow! W-wait I-OW! Naru- OOOWWW!"
Fifty minutes later, the couple stepped out of the forest and saw that around the corner was the end of the trail at the bottom of the mountain. As they continued forward, Sakura stretched her limbs and one extremely sensitive back. Her neck was so stiff and her loins, well, that was the only place she felt wonderful at the moment.
"Geez, Naru-Kun," Sakura groaned, "that rock wasn't very soft."
"It was a rock Sakura," Naruto muttered back to her, having a somewhat playful argument in the heat of things, "and I told you I could hold you up while we had sex."
"I wanted the back support, and it would have worked too, but then you were too focused to care about how much skin you could rip off my back. I swear I must have rubbed my back raw."
"I said that I was sorry." Naruto apologized for what had to be the hundredth time since they had started on their trek back down the trail.
In truth, Sakura didn't know why she was complaining. Sakura always told Naruto to ignore what she said during sex, because she usually told him to call her slut and bitch and whatnot, and to just thrust harder into her. Now though would have been a good time to listen.
"I know, but for you to delve so hard inside me that you scratch my entire body." Sakura commented as she cracked her back one last time, before reaching for her water bottle at her hip. "Where did you practice all that though?"
"What do you mean?"
"You were an animal up above," Sakura recalled as she rubbed her sports bar at the memory of Naruto sucking her breasts and playfully nipping at the tips as he made Sakura mewl and yip at the affection. "You've never done that before," Sakura commented as she readjusted her top for what was hopefully only the third time.
"You tell me," Naruto replied as he readjusts his shorts, "I just did it. You were sucking on my neck and I felt like you wanted me to suck on your blessed upper figure." Sakura smiled at his comment before her lover rubbed his neck once more. "I swear though, is there a sucker on my neck?"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Of course no- Oh My God!" Sakura's eyes widened as they reached the car as before her was what had to be the biggest hickie they'd ever made and it was right there on Naruto's Adam's apple.
Naruto watched as Sakura dipped her hand in some water from her bottle before covering his Adam's apple and tried to furiously erase it from view.
"Stop it Sakura!" Naruto suddenly laughed quickly. "It tickles!"
"You Baka! Why do you think I sucked on it while you were giving me one as well?" Sakura blushed as she stared at the mark turning black and blue as she rubbed her own that was underneath her hair. Her hat had disappeared in the woods somewhere and she didn't have the heart to go back to that rock without forcing Naruto to lay on it and having her own way, this time on top, with him!
"Mommy mommy, look! It's Saku!" A voice shouted, and the couple backed up and turned to see a little girl racing forward, a large six month old golden retriever on her heels. As they both neared closer, Naruto bent down to pet the dog as Sakura said hi to the little girl.
After a minute, the couple saw two adults walking over from a car that had pulled up as they were trying to erase the marks of their sexual activities. The mother and father, a young couple around the age of twenty eight if Sakura was correct to assume, walked up with embarrassed smiles on their faces.
"We are most sorry about this." The mother spoke lightly. "My daughter saw you and immediately ran over. She and the whole family love watching you on Shinobi Wars."
"It's okay. You both have a very adorable daughter." Sakura spoke kindly as the girl pulled at her hip and hugged her leg with her arms, staring up at what Sakura could only guess was her idol.
Naruto stood back up, the dog roaming around them, as the father took over. "Thank you. Akane is very…insistent on things. She just Had to see you."
"It is quite alright." Sakura smiled wider, and Naruto saw the love in her eyes. "I love children."
"Oh we know." The mother spoke quickly, her own arms exaggerating her emotions of eagerness to meet Saku. "We've read all the blogs."
"T-the blogs?" Sakura suddenly stuttered as she visibly became nervous.
"Sakura-Chan?" Naruto asked as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay?"
"Um yeah, it's just I don't usually like what they say too much on the blogs. A lot of sexual gossip of what men want to do with my body and stuff like that."
"Oh we don't read the ones that mock you! We read the Konoha Lights Daily!"
"Do I know you?" the father asked suddenly, before Naruto saw his eyes widen as he realized just who this blonde was. "Wait! You're…Naruto! You're Sakura's old childhood friend right?"
"Well…Yes."
"Forgive me, Naruto, but can I assume that you two are more than friends?"
"Why would you think that? Naruto asked cautiously. Sakura and he hadn't exactly been straightforward with the public and so hadn't decided on whether or not to go completely public yet.
"Well, I see a little…hickie on your neck, looks very…very fresh." The father chuckled from his own experience.
"Mommy? What's a hickie?" The little girl, Akane asked as she walked back over to her parents.
"Tell you later sweetheart," her mother spoke quickly, not wanting to have the conversation until a much later date.
"Naruto-Kun, it's okay. They won't tell." Sakura nodded to her secret becoming public boyfriend before smiling back at the family. "Yes ma'am, we are a couple now. I just wanted to hide a bit of myself and Naruto from the cameras for a little while longer. They are highly invasive with relationships."
"I agree completely. They find the smallest of loopholes in everything to get those pictures."
"Yes, they do." Sakura grimaced as she leaned against her car, remembering her near topless photo when a male paparazzi had snuck into the girl's changing room, and then made the excuse of being drunk when he did so. Suddenly though, Sakura remembered something and turned around to delve inside her purse, looking for something before she smiled as she pulled it out. "You know, I have some passes to the next private screening of the Shinobi Wars season premiere."
"Oh! But you're no longer on the show. That will make the ratings drop for sure."
"Nonsense." Sakura smiled contently. "I knew from the books that I would die before I accepted the job. Now I thought I'd be on it for a longer amount of seasons but I still endorse the production." Sakura chuckled at the remembrance of the sudden death scene.
"Well, if you still support it, then we'll gladly accept the tickets. Will you be there?"
"Of course I will, it is in two months till the season begins again. I can easily get in without tickets, but maybe you would benefit from them?" Sakura asked as she pushed her hand forward in a kind gesture.
"Thank you." Akane's father beamed as he accepted the tickets gracefully. "Well, we should leave the two of you to your alone time. Come on Akane."
"Awwwww!" Akane groaned as her parents pulled her down the trail. "Bye bye!"
"Such a cute girl." Sakura giggled and smiled as she shook her head and as she turned, she knew that Naruto had seen her smile. As their eyes connected, Naruto remembered the family of foxes on the trail. As Sakura got in the driver's side and started the car, Naruto touched her hand, and Sakura looked over questionably as Naruto didn't usually touch just her hand.
"Sakura-Chan, would you want kids in the future?" Naruto asked, making Sakura smiled immediately.
"Of course. I can imagine living in a small home with kids."
"Small Home? Does that mean you'll stop acting some day?"
"I only wanted to act until I had kids, Naru-Kun." Sakura smiled. "After that, I really just want to be a stay-at-home mom."
"Well, then we'd both be home enough with me painting."
"I think I could live with that, though we'd both have to find hobbies so we don't kill each other from seeing the other all day long." Sakura smiled as they have shared visions of a family together in the near future.
Ta-Da! Don;t forget to guess my story!
