Reviewers;

Czar Joseph: Sadly your review did not show up. But it did today! And no, it doesn't have to deal with kids in the future as of right now. Maybe add it in later, I suppose.

Lestibur: you didn't want to guess? Oh well, thanks again Les.

7th Demon of Razgriz: I don't believe I've adopted a story. Originally, this chapter was set in their high school days, but I added the lake party instead. So you can think of their outdoor adventures as culminating to their peaks.

Mundane Beast: Ah...you saw that? Ah Shucks! ;)

XxAshishxX: HERE IS YOUR UPDATE! And I did look Ladygt up on google and she is pretty good I will say. Hard to see a lot of her work, but still great.

Fury Cutter: You couldn't remember that I, Timberwolfe, wrote Sorakage? (Sniffles) I'm not gonna cry ;) I didn't want to add author names due to them leaving. If I put stories on hiatus or as I like to call the execution stand, I wouldn't want people saying that I'm dead. You Know? I can see the scene as look at me! But then again, it is in the woods, on an unmarked trail, and they are completely alone and surrounded by the forest. To me at least, it is a secret.

Well, Sakura's plan is a hint for you guys on the final conflict. Something that forces Sakura to be a housewife and caused her to want to be an actress for her career. Trust me, it all works out in the end. And the idea of Sakura surpassing Tsunade and her dream to be a great medical ninja down to housewife does make No Sense! If Sakura were a doctor in my story, believe me, she wouldn't give that up. And just because she would be a stay at home mom doesn't mean she doesn't act, perform, televise. Just a lot less work than what she does now with the past shinobi wars, commercials and such events.

Sakura's career at This point are mainly considered, 'middle things', such as the commercials she does, guest roles like many stars do, but only one show slots. Sakura's career in Shinobi Wars was a great chance, but after four years of being only on set and to bed, she wants some freedom again.

ArkAngel1179: Wrong! I could never think of that! Well...now I might! But not in this story.

Logan Locke: I am glad you liked Akane. She was exactly what I was trying to show in the scene of my mind. Actually, I'm surprised you didn't recognize the name right away. She's the little girl from Sorakage when the war first started. As for the sexy alone time, yes, it Was a rock. You must remember that Sakura only had a thin sports bra on her frame, which was taken off, and at this stage in life, hormones mean rougher sex, at least, with objects surrounding the initial act.

Damn, though, you took quite a long time to respond. You usually do do within a day, this was two or three. As I told Demon, Originally, this chapter was set in their high school days, but I added the lake party instead. So you can think of their outdoor adventures as culminating to their peaks as they move from beginning their love to the actual acts. Finally, as with disguises, Sakura is an extremely hot actress who has many costumes...has to have a bit fetish for them, don't you think? :) Also, short review! Fury beat you today!

Tone And Stroke

Chapter 19: A Couple in the spotlight

(One month later)

Another month passed for the couple, and in this particular morning, Naruto awoke not in his bed, but Sakura's. Last night, on their date night, Sakura had pouted about how she felt like she always had the rigorous task of the walk of shame walking back to her car and back to her apartment, so Naruto decided to give in and so they did the deed at Sakura's loft.

When they had gotten in however, Ino was nowhere to be found and Sakura smiled bashfully at Naruto's accusing glare. Naruto sighed as he moved off the bed and on the edge. Sakura never did anything without having a plan first. She had called Ino when she had gone to the bathroom to get cleaned up, and asked her to become scarce, and Ino being the best friend she was, picked a hot guy to stay with and they slept together without worry of waking Ino.

A lot had changed over the last month or so. Word had come out with Sakura seeing Naruto, her old friend, and this time they had a picture of Sakura pushing him against his car outside the gallery with her giving him a hickie! Naruto smiled; his amazing girlfriend tried to plan everything, and yet the world still surprised her.

All the same, people had come to love Naruto as a great guy, and he remembered all those years ago in high school. That time in life was really a façade, just as Sakura had told him before they had started to go out for the first time. In real life, in the real world, people liked Naruto's character and his work ethic over how he got into fights with guys trying to sneak into girl's pants.

Naruto turned around and saw Sakura making light snores on her side and smiled at his goddess. After sex, she slept like a log, but right now they had a lot to do. Maybe not for Sakura, but for them as a couple. You see, tonight, they were going on a talk show made exclusively for couples, rightly named Couples Spotlight, and this date was set for Sakura and Naruto to be premiered. Sakura may have makeup and dresses lined up for things such as this, but Naruto sure didn't, so they were spending the day getting Naruto a nice suit and a hairstylist for his hair. Naruto smiled, he doubted that the stylist could ever find a way to make his hair drop from its gravity defying state.

"Naruto-Kunnnnn," Sakura moaned as Naruto refocused on her face to where her eyes were just fluttering open, "come back to bed. It's only nine in the morning."

"We can't, Sakura-Chan," Naruto cooed as he caressed her cheek, earning a wide smile from his lover, "we have things to do before tonight."

"Like me?" Sakura smiled brightly, and Naruto gulped nervously at her subtle request.

"Why is it, Sakura that you're the horny one in the morning?"

:Maybe because every time I open my eyes, I wake up to this." Sakura bit her lower lip as Naruto groaned as his girlfriend wrapped her hand around his member.

"You horny vixen."

"I'm Your horny vixen, my lovable baka fox." Sakura smiled before pulling her lover back into bed for morning sex.

Eleven hours later, it was eight at night and the couple had been at the studio for the last hour getting changed and getting rehearsed on the type of questions they would be asking and helping the couple know how to sit and how to act if they were fighting on stage.

"So!" The announcer, a man known by the name of Might Guy exclaimed as the crowd roared joyously as he came on stage and took a seat on a chair next to a red curtain. "Behind the curtain is a couple that we of the land of fire and the entire world have been waiting to see ever since they first became known to us!"

As an applause followed the announcer's words, he continued on his rant. "First we have Sakura Haruno, the girl who has starred in the role until this past year on Shinobi Wars and who has captured all of our hearts deeply in her environmental and food drive campaigns since she first showed in Konoha Lights. She is Saku, the top rated kunoichi!

"Next, we have a seemingly unknown individual. He is no longer unknown anymore and he is Naruto Uzumaki, a rising artist and someone who has been infatuated with Sakura since what we believe has been since the beginning of high school. Now, four years later, they are back together! Let us meet them!"

The curtain slowly rose, and the feet of the couple were shown to the audience, or rather, Naruto's feet. Eyes widened to the size of dinner plates as the curtain rose and Sakura appeared facing Naruto on a shared loveseat as they made out on national television!

Soon, the shocked faces turned into ones of awe and then laughter as the two continued to be blissfully ignorant of what they were doing. It was only after a round of catcalls that Naruto backed up to see what the commotion was and smiled bashfully, much to the cooing and awing of the female audience.

Sakura leaned forward to continue kissing her lover, wondering why he teased her so by pulling back, when inside her own world, she heard the laughter and immediately turned red and twisted her vision off her painter and over to the audience of one thousand, who were looking at the two of them with happiness.

Did I really just make out with Naruto-Kun on Live Television?! Sakura gawked at herself before feeling Naruto's hand on her shoulder, and Sakura snuggled back into her boyfriend's chest, too embarrassed and smiling at her own actions.

"Well," Guy chuckled, "it seems we were all in for surprises tonight."

"I-Indeed." Naruto commented, stuttering a little as technically Sakura was supposed to be speaking for the both of them, but after that round of kissing, he'd talk in his underwear for her, so Naruto simply pet his girlfriend's hair and as she snuggled further into his chest, more cooing was heard, before Sakura backed off and pushed her hair back in place, and smiled bashfully.

"Now then, we all know who you are Sakura." The announcer for the show began as he did a recap of Sakura's actress life before he paused and looked at Naruto, "and we now know a little about Naruto, but do we really know the man himself? What do you have to say Sakura?"

"I…" Sakura paused before smiling brighter. "I think that Naruto is the most amazing guy I've ever met, and I hope that everyone can see him as I do…although he's my boyfriend so lay off!" Sakura rushed out and pointed to the audience and cameras around the room. Naruto looked at her quizzically as the females let out a collective sigh of depression.

"Now Naruto, you went to school with Sakura, if I can assume correctly, so when did you first see her?"

"Actually, I saw her for the first time in elementary school, and my eyes followed her everywhere. By the time of high school, I had resigned myself to simply watch from afar. But Sakura had other plans.

"So…we became friends and hung out a lot during our last semester of high school. And we learned so much about each other. She made me realize who I am, and why I do what I do. And soon after, we started dating just before summer started."

"Then as the representative for society her tonight, why did you break it off?"

"We knew that we would be having different lives, with different experiences. Sakura has led an amazing life, and I'm glad I didn't hold her back."

"Naruto," Sakura turned and held her lover's cheek. "You could have held me back whenever you wanted."

"I thought I might have. We agreed that we would separate, and we saw other people. Most people don't stay in love when they are young. I guess we did, and now we're here. All I really know…is that Sakura-Chan is my Goddess."

"Naru-Kun!" Sakura whined as she pushed her head back into her boyfriend's chest as squeals and awes filled the entire room. Sakura wished she were back home, so she could let Naruto ravage her, but as Sakura began to speak, she knew what they would be doing later on that night.

"And what do you have to say to that bold statement, Ms. Haruno?" Might Guy asked, much pleased at the reactions so far of the two. Slowly, Sakura turned back around and spoke in an exasperated voice.

"Naruto has always annoyed me so much. He embarrasses me All the time. He makes little comments about how beautiful I am to him, and he's just the perfect boyfriend." Sakura sighed happily as she turned to Naruto more so than the audience.

"He always comforts me, and I love how he places me and my safety before his own. It just means so much that I'll never be able to express how I feel. But I do know that as I am a goddess to him, he is an Adonis, a god to me. He is my painter, and I am his Muse."

"And with that, we are all out of time, folks! Will you two come back on the show in a few weeks for an update? Maybe a baby on the way?"

"Uh-hahahaha…" Sakura giggled nervously, "there shouldn't be a baby for a long while, but we would love to come back. Wouldn't we, Naruto?"

Naruto smiled brightly. "Of course. We'd be honored."

Three weeks passed, and the couple enjoyed a rather healthy amount of time in Sakura's bedroom, where the sounds of moans and the slapping of skin on skin was heard but luckily did not pass through the walls of the loft.

"Naruto-Kun! Naruto-Kun! Naruto-Kun!" Sakura chanted as the couple came down from their climaxing highs. Naruto breathed deeply and fell down on the mattress while Sakura fell on top of him.

Naruto smiled. That was their fourth time today, and his body called out for him to stop, and he would, but then once again, as he tried to fall asleep or do something else, Naruto groaned as Sakura bucked her hips against his member, trying to make him hard once more.

"Sakura-Chaaaaannnn!" Naruto groaned before he lifted Sakura off of him and onto the mattress next to him, as he pulled a giggling Sakura deep into his chest and held her so close as for her not to move her hands back down to wrap around his manhood.

"Naru-Kun, I want to play." Sakura smiled lovingly at her lover of the day.

"Sakura-Chan, we need to slow down."

"Please? One more time?" Sakura pouted.

"...You said that three times ago." Naruto spoke in a monotone voice.

"But I'm so happy!"

"You're high from our exploits."

"So are you." Sakura retorted.

"But I know when to stop and slow down."

"...What's that supposed to mean?" Sakura sounded offended as she leaned up and crossed her arms around her breasts.

"Sakura-Chan, you're becoming addicted to sex."

"I am not!"

"Yes, you are."

"Am not!"

"Fine then, no sex for a week."

"Right, one-wait! Why?!" Sakura spoke before her mind caught up with her.

"Sakura-"

"No! I don't want to! I want my fox to ravage me daily!"

"Then you admit it."

"Admit what?" Sakura asked.

"That you're addicted to sex."

"Never."

"Then prove it."

Sakura sat up, and smiled. "Fine. No sex for a week."

Immediately, Sakura leaned forward and draped her body over Naruto's, on all fours as she looked down at her boyfriend. Naruto's mouth watered as her full breasts were a mere inch from his mouth and he just wanted to bite into them and make his muse moan. As he moved forward, Sakura clicked her tongue at him, as if teaching a dog.

"Tut-Tut, Naruto. You can't touch these babies of mine for a week."

"What? I said no sex! Groping your heavenly globes are the best thing in the world!" Naruto exclaimed and Sakura almost gave in right there, but she had to hold back. Naruto had to cave first.

"Admit that you're addicted to my breasts."

"I am not."

"Then!" Sakura exclaimed as she got off the bed and struck a seductive pose for her lover. "Then, I guess we'll see who caves first in a week."

"You're on." Naruto grinned back. He may be infatuated with her upper figure, but Sakura loved every touch he gave her, and so he knew she would cave. It was only a matter of when.

Six days later, Sakura was bouncing around her room like a wolf trying to get out of a cage. Sakura walked over to her bed and banged her head into the soft mattress, which still smelled of Naruto from when he had tempted her last night and had arrived with a box of chocolates he had made himself.

God he was a good cook! She ate them all and the last one was on his tongue! She had snatched it only to spit it out as she explored his mouth with hers. He almost had her! God he smelled good! God he Tasted Good! She wanted him so bad!

Sakura tried to lie on her back on the mattress and tried to sleep. It was five in the morning, and Sakura had only three hours until the bet was off. She only had to last three hours and she would win. Wait! What if she had forgotten how to have sex with Naruto?! Was she still good at it?

Naruto had been with others. He had routine. She had only had him for release. She didn't have any toys and she didn't like using her own fingers anymore. Naruto's were the best, and so was his tongue, and knuckles, and nose, and his member the most!

"God! Please help me~!" Sakura cried out when suddenly her alarm went off. Sakura snapped her head to the right and saw that two hours had passed. Sakura jumped up and ran to the door of the apartment, intent on making the thirty minute drive as soon as possible. Sakura's image blurred past the open door and all was quiet for five seconds before the screech of Sakura's voice sounded in the hallway and soon, Sakura ran back in, and grabbed the first dress she saw, and raced back out, intent on seeing her lover as soon as possible.

Naruto opened his eyes to a harsh knocking on the door of his apartment and sighed back into his comfy pillow. Who could be knocking at eight in the morning? Another powerful round of knocking made Naruto give in and stand up, scratching his head as he made his way across the room to where the door was.

Naruto looked through the peep hole and dropped his mouth. There waiting impatiently and with a pleading look on her face was his girlfriend, wearing the tightest dress imaginable, her nipples proudly poking through the material as her messy hair pushed in all directions.

The painter sighed again as he reached for his doorknob and unlocked the door before opening it to the immediate and what had to be the happiest smile adorned on Sakura's face since he had ever met her.

Sakura steamrolled forward, banging her breasts directly into Naruto's chest before visibly intertwining her legs with his. Normally, this would be normal, but then Sakura began to hump his leg, and he knew what was so urgent.

"N-Naruto-Kun," Sakura stuttered in her fidgeting as she rubbed against Naruto's member, making him twitch below and looked up at his gorgeous and sun-adorned face. "It's been a week. The bet's off! So now we can-"

"S-Sakura," Naruto tried in vain to peel his girlfriend off of him, barely keeping himself at bay. He needed release too, and Sakura was willing, but he…had to win. "We made that bet in the afternoon. You have to wait until four."

"Four?!" Sakura groaned, and pushed further into Naruto, pushing her breasts directly into him. "Please? Just cancel the bet?"

"Just admit that you are addicted."

"…I am Addicted!" Sakura exclaimed, suddenly not caring anymore. "I am addicted to the amazing sex you give me! I am addicted to you Naruto Uzumaki!"

And as soon as Sakura completed her last syllable, her face was cupped in Naruto's hands, her tongue was tied around his, and her hands were moving to take off the belt that he had so stupidly decided to wear the day that they would start having sex again.

After a minute of frenching, Naruto backed up. "Close the door. I'll meet you in the bedroom." Sakura leaned back against the wood, the door closing in until it suddenly stopped. What? Sakura thought as she remembered that Naruto's door sometimes stuck and needed a few minutes to fully close the door.

"Sakura-Chan, you coming?" Sakura heard Naruto ask and as she looked back and forth at the bedroom and the door, she whined. She could close it later! And so with that, Sakura ran as fast as she could into the bedroom where her emerald eyes widened as rose petals fell down from the ceiling around her.

Sakura looked up to see a white tent rain cover loaded with the red petals and saw a rope yank one end and the shower began again. Sakura followed the rope to where her lover laid, and held in a moan at how the rope was tied to the headboard and he was lightly shaking it as he stared at her beauty.

"You ready for prolonged sex, Haruno?"

"You better make it the best ever, Uzumaki." Sakura smiled, her threat too playful to really matter before she crawled onto the bed and kissed her lover of a suspended and torturous week with all the love she had held in for a lengthy one hundred and sixty hours, almost a week. Give her a break!

(Mature- read at own risk- read only if ALLOWED TO!)

Sakura quickly locked lips with Naruto, who quickly switched their roles and began to plant a trail of kisses down her neck, ripping her tight dress off her body, causing her to mewl and buck frantically as her body lived its fullest in pleasured agony. "Oh Naru-Kun!" Sakura's lidded eyes opened as Naruto's tongue swirled around her breast, coming closer…and closer until he lightly bit the tip.

"Naru!" Sakura moaned as a sudden flash of light filled her vision and she let out a small orgasm. The light left her vision and Sakura smiled embarrassingly at Naruto for her quick climax, but he smiled at her and nipped at her tip once more, causing Sakura to fall back, her nails scraping through his hair as her back hit the headboard.

Sakura hands reached behind her and grabbed the headboard as Naruto moved to separate her legs apart and Sakura bucked around, wanting him now. "Please, Naru-Kun. I want you so bad!"

"You're sure?" Naruto asked playfully, knowing Sakura loved to proclaim who she 'belonged' to.

"Yessssss. Please Naruto-Kun, I love you! I only want you!" Sakura exclaimed, as her hands slipped off the headboard and pulled the rope, unleashing a huge avalanche of rose petals. Naruto smiled at the sight before he removed his clothes and then prepared himself in between his lover's flawless skinned legs.

Sakura bit her bottom lip as flashes of white light filled her vision over and over again, but right now, she wanted Naruto inside her and so readied herself, and nodded to Naruto, who gently pushed inside and began to pound away, urgently searching for the spot that made Sakura's legs turn into jelly and make her unable to move after they had these exploits. Whatever happened, Sakura was not leaving his apartment tonight.

"Naruto!" Sakura moaned as the amazing feelings that coursed through her body, as Naruto's left hand held her leg up to his hip and his right played with her breasts, moving back and forth horizontally as his member embedded itself repeatedly into her moist core.

Sakura's hands flew to the rope once more, and then wrapped the rope around her wrists, letting the leverage pull her up and at a better angle than before. Naruto felt the angle and looked to Sakura's hands which were now playfully bound and leaned closer to her mouth and suffocated her mouth with his own as he pushed further and further into her until his member hit the one spot that Sakura could only imagine.

Sakura cried out as Naruto hit her g-spot and let out a breathy moan to Naruto's name as her essence exploded along Naruto's length as he began to push back and forth as fast as he could go. Sakura let her eyes wander up to the ceiling where the white lights flashed on and off and in her mind, the ceiling caved away and heaven above looked down on her.

Sakura's receding waves of ecstasy soon started to flow back at full force as Sakura squealed and came a third time as Naruto breathed heavily and Sakura felt that he was close.

"N-Naru! I love you!" Sakura smiled directly into her lover's eyes and Naruto let out his lover's name as he succumbed to his sexual desires.

"Sakura-Chan!"

Sakura rode her climax with Naruto's lips at her neck, and as the waves receded, her wrists moved to unwrap themselves when Sakura felt a knot in the rope. Sakura smiled embarrassingly at her lover. "N-Naruto?"

Naruto mumbled into her neck and Sakura held in a moan that would for sure cause him to suckle her breasts once more. "Naruto."

"What?"

"M-my wrists are stuck."

"Wha-" Naruto began to ask as he raised his head when his eyes saw the knot that had formed from Sakura twisting and turning in their love making. Naruto smiled and backed up, before bending down and letting his tongue explore the tip of Sakura's left breast.

"N-Naruto-Kun!" He heard Sakura moaned and looked at her pleading eyes. Naruto smirked.

"Sakura, just tell me to stop what I'm doing so that I can untie your hands."

The wheels in Sakura's eyes spun with intensity, weighing her options until a smile formed on her lips, the same smile that Naruto had on as well. "Make me not able to move without feeling your mouth on my tips."

"As my Goddess commands." Naruto whispered before dropping his head and making Sakura quiver at what she had just agreed to. Naruto would not be letting her go home tonight, but then again, she had planned on staying over for the night anyways.

Meanwhile, outside the bedroom, the entrance to the apartment opened quickly and silently, before closing once again, this time all the way.

Well?
