Reviewers;

Fury Cutter: Well, I'm glad you enjoyed their 'pillow talk', Fury. I'm pleased you found the plot for the chapter to be cute. And I really couldn't find the right announcer from the series so I figured that Gai was a good rally to be behind. As for Sakura sucumbing to her primal urges, I admit that it may not be healthy, but contrary to what we think, young people want sex very often, even if they can't get it. The begging was more suited to the side of Sakura partially giving in to being addicted...not to sex, but to Naruto.

Duh Bomb: I so got your previous poem review, I thought I had commented on it, but maybe I didn't. Sorry. It was a pretty good one, though a bit, how should I say, redundant? Although maybe not? Maybe try finding it in the bolded text in the beginning where I spend so much time answering people's reviews.

XxAshishxX: Well...okay, today is the day you get to find out.

Lestibur: 'Nuff said'...I like that review of yours, classic.

Logan Locke: I know how you feel, though for me it's the papers that come with college final times. I mean seriously! Can I get my finals papers assigned after midterms! Why do they assign a final paper that you work on for hours on end and then realize that you still have to make flash cards, yell at your roommates to be quiet as your study, glare at them when they don't, and then walk onto a silent ghost like campus where everyone has their faces lit up by computer screens. It's major creepy. I thought my ears were broken! And Then!...I Actually Heard A Pin Drop!

Their interview was a tough scene for me, as it had to portray a lot in such a short amount of space, you know? Glad you approved of it. I definitely need your input on these chapters to keep going. I always liked the idea of the audience sighing and awing at moments, but nowadays, it's all, you had sex in public? A divorce? Cheating? You know? It's all straw-man theory. I think you know what that is.

And for sex, really Logan? :) Maybe I just become a sexcapade writer. Did you know that the good ones make millions on a book that's twelve pages long? That's like...nothing! Really look it up. At least, nowadays. And fifty shades of grey is in the production phase. Makes me shiver when I think of how many irresponsible parents will be taking their 13 year old and under children to that movie...(Shiver)

Anyways, sex is exhausting! Right? Four times in a day for a guy should be hard, but women can go on and on. I listened to the female teacher talk about it in my college health class. I was red faced, the girls around me were red faced, and then the girl in barely a skirt was smiling widely and winking at a girl across the room who was winking back. If anything, I thought you'd put my name down for the analogy of a caged wolfe, i mean, wolf, and that leads to the light bondage I added. I admit to having a slight fetish. Everyone does, but that scene took forever to write. I had to 'delete' so much good stuff. (Wink)

NaggotFigger: Not pleasant at all. I agree. But then, where would the story be if it weren't.

MundaneBeast: And who are the stalkers to the celebrities? Hmm?

7th Demon of Razgriz: Really? That is way off, 7th. Not really off, but no. If I was doing kinky that way, I sure wouldn't post that. This is tamer, though not really.

Czar Joseph: Come on Joseph. We know the manga, and anime. Any girl who Naruto befriends has Some sort of attraction to him. He makes enemies into allies. At least...in the show. My stories are different for that exact reason.


AN: Hey Guys! So i had some free time so here you go! The suspense was killing you all, right? Well, I just want you to scroll scroll scroll on down and continue to read my story. What is a story without suspense? There must be some, right? Or would you rather me write fluffy scenes of them riding horses into the sunset? Or them having sex over and over again like foxes in heat?...and no, I will Not write sex every chapter. Moderate please. Anyways, here you go! Next posting on Friday so hurry up and review!

P.S. None of you got the movie I'm basing my next story partially on. Want a hint? the main characters are two females and a male. I know, not much of a hint, but the movie is pretty easy to guess if I give any sort of description.


Tone And Stroke

Chapter 20: Worth A Thousand Words


Morning came and for two lovers, their tired eyes from their night of activities in the bedroom told the world that it could implode and know that they would die, and they wouldn't care one bit about the world. Looking down from above the room in the rafters, the two were in the bed on their sides, each turned towards the middle of the bed and towards the other, just staring at the other's uncovered nude form and the way their carnal lust and love for the other sparkled in their eyes and in their smiles.

Slowly, Sakura leaned forward and kissed Naruto's lips tenderly and Naruto joined in for a few seconds before leaning back and turning over, where his phone was.

"Naruto-Kun?" Sakura groaned as she moved forward in the bed onto her lover's side and wrapped her arms around his upper frame, her breasts pressing into his back, as she leaned in towards his ear, before biting his earlobe and started to suck on it lightly. Naruto's arm stopped halfway to his phone.

"S-Sakura-Chan?" Naruto held in a moan of his own. Damn she knew just where to kiss him at just the right time.

"I Know you don't have anywhere to go. Your schedule is free in the mornings. Come back to bed." Sakura emphasized by pushing herself tighter against his back, making Naruto gulp as his will power waned.

"Sakura-Chan, we've been going at it on and off all night. Aren't you sore?"

"Not as sore as I Could be, perhaps?" Sakura questioned as she flicked her tongue along the lowest portion of the earlobe and suddenly, Naruto had turned around and flipped Sakura onto her stomach before kissing her own earlobe, earning an incessant moaning from the girl below him.

"Or…we could get ready for the premiere tonight. I could do your hair? Just the way you liked it in high school."

"I thought you'd forgotten doing that." Sakura held her breath as Naruto's hand drifted lower until grazing her toned ass, making Sakura mewl and plead for more. They both knew that sex was off the table until at least after the premiere, but touching was another matter altogether. Sakura liked the chase, and right now…Naruto had her pinned and trapped within his iron grip, or really, his gentle smacking of her ass with his hand. He knew Just how to love tap it to cause Sakura to beg for more. Unfortunately, this wasn't sex and so he groped her, and Sakura was content as a puppy getting scratched behind the ear. "Have you gotten better at doing braids?"

"I kind of had to, what with models on the cruise ship and everything."

"Oh…r-right." Sakura stuttered, remembering sadly that she had let him go, even if it was all better now. Sakura bit her bottom lip to hold in a begging for more when a harsher playful slap sounded on her ass, before Naruto's other hand found its way to her breast and played with it as well.

"Do I detect…jealousy?"

"N-no…?"

"No?" Naruto asked as he squeezed a little tighter.

"Okay! Yes! But it's because they had you when I didn't."

"Sakura-Chan, no one had me. You do. You are all that matters. When the world turns away, you and I will always be there for the other."

Sakura turned over on her back and leaned up, kissing Naruto's cheek fondly before sitting beside him on the edge. "How did I get such a lovable boyfriend?"

"You didn't. I'm the one with an amazing girlfriend."

"Not-aw! I have the best boyfriend."

"Not-aw! Best girlfriend."

"Boyfriend"

"…Girlfriend"

"…boyfriend

"…girlfriend"

"… I love Pancakes!"

"-Waffles!"

The two laughed at the sudden change in the subject and both stood up, before they walked to the bathroom and grabbed their robes, something that models wore when posing on sets and so the both of them wrapped themselves up and tied the ropes around their bodies, though Sakura let her shoulder show. Hey! She had to tease her boyfriend. Just for fun.

The two walked out of the bedroom and into the living room before stopping outside the kitchen area. Naruto stood before Sakura and smiled. "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Not-uh! I'm making breakfast today!"

"What?! But I-"

"I know I'm a bad cook! But I can do breakfast!"

"Alright…toast it is."

"Noooo! Pancakes."

"And here we go again." Naruto smirked and Sakura's anger got the better of her and punched Naruto on the arm before pushing them towards the doorway. "You go get the mail and I'll make breakfast."

"Alright! Alright! I'm going!" Naruto chuckled before twisting around and pecking Sakura on the cheek.

Sakura paused as she watched him go, her hand on her cheek, before turning in a daze to get breakfast ready for the both of them. As Sakura poured the makings and watch them toast into pancakes, a sudden flash of small footsteps echoed in Sakura's mind, before quickly disappearing.

Sakura smiled at the thought, and held her stomach in contemplative thought. With all the sex that they were having, all it would take would be for Sakura to get off the pill and let it happen. They could support a family, surely. With Naruto's paintings, and Sakura's fame and royalties, they had plenty. Of course, there was all the troubles of being famous.

The list was enormous; hounded by photographers, no private life, everything on view. Sakura would wait, this had to be mutual. Plus, Sakura wanted to be married. Was Naruto that man? Sakura did not know, but she had a feeling deep down inside her that he was.

What am I thinking? Sakura thought aloud. Sakura quickly slid the pancakes onto a spare plate and grabbed the maple syrup, as well as milk and utensils, and walked over to the table. Sakura backed up and smiled at her creation. She may not a good cook, but she could still have a great looking meal.

"OH MY GOD!"

Sakura gasped at the sound of Naruto's sudden exclamation and thanked god that she wasn't holding any plates. All the same, Sakura twisted her body around and quickly sped down the hallway to where the doorway was open and Naruto was barely inside, looking at something in his hands.

Sakura pushed past him and checked outside quickly before closing the door. "Geez, Naruto. You scream like that and the paparazzi will call you insane!" Sakura berated as she turned around and stared at Naruto who didn't look at her but down at the mail in his hand.

"What is it, Naruto? Forget to pay a bill?" Sakura teased. Naruto slowly looked up and stared at Sakura and immediately, Sakura knew something was wrong. Terribly wrong. "Naruto?"

"Sakura, you need to understand. We can fix this."

"Fix what?" Sakura asked innocently. Surely, this wasn't a big deal. Sakura walked forward and grabbed the mail from Naruto's hands and looked down.


Naruto could do nothing right in his life. He had fucked up so badly this time, and this time he had hurt Sakura. Why couldn't he just stay silent and play this off? Now, Naruto was forced to watch as Sakura's eyes slowly widened, her white skin turn a sickly pale, goosebumps arose across her arms, tears forming inside her eyes, and what Naruto hated most; the sounds of held in whimpers sounding in Sakura's throat.

"W-wh-what is-h-how-I-I-…" Sakura sounded like someone was strangling her, and Naruto knew that he has caused this whole mess. Naruto raced forward, knocking the mail out of Sakura's hands and threw his arms around her as her arms encircled his waist and she began to cry into his shoulder.

At the top of the mail was a magazine. The magazine was as well renowned and known as Time and US Weekly, called the Kyuubi Global. It was delivered to around six hundred million people daily, and Naruto was one of their subscribers.

On the cover, surrounded by dark blue lining the edges was the cover photo and main topics. The cover usually showed celebrities, models, and especially actresses, and in this cover, it showed Sakura…with Naruto…in bed. Their nude forms were moving in between the sheets and Sakura's hands were holding onto the rope from yesterday morning, showing how recent the picture was taken. And though the covers were pooled below them and Naruto's body mainly hid her, the only decent thing on that cover was the diagonal blue title line that read the major headline.

'Tied in the Throes of Passion.' That was what it said, and Naruto had seen Sakura's face in the picture. It was almost identical whenever she…reached her maximum peak in arousal. This was beyond embarrassing, this was completely insane! This was a public magazine. Children could easily see this! And yet, they were on the cover! Surrounded by various smaller articles asking what position the couple preferred best, how submissive Sakura was in bed, and how far they went, not caring about decency. DECENCY?!

Naruto wanted and was about to punch something when he felt Sakura's head move and looked down to see her trembling eyes and face. "I'm sorry, Naruto-Kun."

"You have nothing to be sorry about. It was-"

"No! It's my fault! I didn't close the door yesterday! I didn't lock it! I was craving for sex so badly, I risked everything! And now! Now my career is ruined!"

"Sakura-Chan!" Naruto exclaimed and pleaded for her to stop crying and pulled Sakura closer, whispering sweet nothings into her ear and telling her that it would be alright. Behind them, the breeze coming in from the window ceased, the apartment grew darker, the milk grew warm, the pancakes grew cold, and the atmosphere in the room became one of sadness and despair.


AN2: This is the basis of my story. We all crave the celebrities' life, and most see it every day on the covers of magazines. They are in shame of photos taken and I hate that these pictures are shown to children so readily at most grocery stores, libraries, and anywhere you look. I wrote this story because I think that society can do better than this. What do you say?
