Reviewers;
Logan Locke: Where...have...you...been? I waited as long as I could! Oh well, you're (sniffle) back! So anyways, the filler was just a filler anyways. Think of the fillers for Naruto Anime. That's what I did, but I liked it. A break before the Sasuke Event. The flower just came to me and since Naruto is a solo person in high school, I feel he likes to be outdoors and have the flower in his paints. As for her hair, best way to describe it flowing behind her. For signals, what guy can see those and not been confused? Sometimes, girls give them but when you start, they are like, WTFrontdoor? Oh no, that just means I wanted a kiss? Yeah, grinding = a kiss? Anyways, with the franchise, Sakura just Helped him think of it, but Sakura is his inspiration. Come on! Really think the animal show would have been good added into the next one? I just wanted to make (sniffle) another chapter for you to review?...Thanks though, it was good criticism.
As for your latest review; way to pull a 180 on me! As for the female, she is a friend, last name changed. And she likes to tease and a great overall friend. She reads my stories with me and a general beta for me. Unlike you! She loved the last chapter! Hmmp! LOL! JK! but yes, she reads my reviews, reviewers, and such things. She...can't write at all, but she can critique using encouragement. This is great encouragement.
Happy but complicated? HH tells me that that's how relationships are and so I write it to you now. For the flower and door scenes, I just wanted to poke Naruto and make him go BOOM! It was MADE for over the top Logan! Blown out of proportion. And Sasuke is about to make Sakura his. I'm just going to get right INTO it right away, as in the part you just reread on 25 simply continues. No buildup, just straight up face time.
XxAshishxX: Wish I could, but Naruto isn't that kind of guy. If he was, Sasuke would be six feet down. Never to be found again in an unmarked grave.
Killer Husky: Thank you. What you write is great inspiration to keep writing.
Raven Harkinian: She won't have sex with him, but he will hurt her, as you will now read. But after reading my stories, there is always a happy ending.
Lestibur: Thanks. Wanted to get evil Sasuke in just a bit.
7th Demon: Of course you would Razgriz :)
Lowism: All of these situations are just public hyperboles of the real world in my opinion, hence why I write on them.
Fury Cutter: Hey! You signed in! :) Glad you liked my portrayal of Sasuke. The Last sucked pretty bad, and I agree with sakura completely in the anime. Hence why I make her strong to the end of my stories over time, just how it SHOULD be.
Czar Joseph: Don't worry about SasuSaku. I'll Never write one to post on this site.
PoeticFire: But don't you love roller coasters? All the ups and downs and ups and twists, and-...woah, I'm dizzy and I'm the one writing.
Duh Bomb: Still got it I see, a real poet that know it.
MundaneBeast: Yes...but who will lose?
AN: So, this is what I think Sasuke would do, and why Sakura can't be with him, because face it! She belongs with Naruto! Anyways a little dark begginning to this, but that will change.
Tone and Stroke
Chapter 26: Where the Goddess Belongs
(Warning: Dark beginning)
A few days passed and for the most part, Sakura and Naruto were back to being as lovey dovey as they have always been. And for Sasuke, the moment he saw Sakura step out of her dressing room, he smiled. He was confident that she would taste sweet in the next few minutes.
The two got in the position that they had been in a few days ago, and Sakura glared at Sasuke, waiting for him to do something like last time, but he didn't. He simply smirked as the assistants moved around the both of them, putting the blood patch on Sakura's neck, tying her hands actually to the board behind her and then placing the cameras all around them to capture the best angles possible.
When their speaking parts were over, Sasuke licked Sakura's jaw once more and trailed down to her neck. And as he whispered into her ear, Sakura's eyes widened in fear.
"You know, you're right. Naruto can have you. I'll simply settle for a piece."
And with that, Sasuke dug his canines deep into Sakura's soft flesh, making a small burst of blood spurt out all around them. For Sakura's part, she could do nothing as she was actually restrained for the actual setting and so she let tears fall down her face as she screamed bloody murder.
Sadly for Sakura, the blood patch near her neck erupted in the same moment and covered Sasuke's new wound on her as well as both of his teeth and her face in a bloody mess. Sakura whimpered repeatedly as she thrashed in pure agony as Sasuke held his teeth inside her, as the blood patch slowly spurt out more and more of its fake blood, mixing with Sakura's.
Finally, after a full minute of biting into her flesh, Sasuke released his teeth and backed up and off of her, wiping her blood on his hand and licked it. "You will be mine, Saku."
And with that, Sasuke left the scene, as Sakura whimpered incessantly as the pain continued to writhe over her body.
"Cut!"
Sakura continued to writhe and whimper as the assistants undid her bindings and Sakura slowly sat up, holding her wound with her hand to stop the bleeding. Sakura just sat there, in a daze until she felt a hand on her other shoulder.
Sakura breathed quickly and turned to see Blake Wolfe, the actor who stared Nami Kaze and saw the concern on his face. Blake bent down and tugged at her hand, but Sakura feared she would bleed to death, as her blood still pooled down her wound and around her fingers.
"Sakura, what is wrong?"
Sakura looked around and saw Sasuke smirking at her, her blood shining in his teeth. "H-hide me." Sakura whimpered and Blake nodded as he helped Sakura up to her feet and together, they began an awkward process of moving around the shadows of the set until Sakura stopped in time to grab her scarf, and then pointed out a minor character's dressing room, and Blake walked her over to it before knocking on it lightly.
The door opened and Ino appeared, in a standard female cloud captain outfit on her figure. Ino was about to ask what the crew wanted when she saw Sakura's pleading eyes and stepped aside, helping Blake drag Sakura's body over to the couch in the room.
Together, they laid her down, and after five minutes, Ino coaxed Sakura's hand back and immediately she gasped at the quite noticable bite mark on her neck, with a line of blood slowly pulsing out of it.
"Blake, go get a bandage wrap."
"R-right." Blake murmured and ran off into the back of the room to find what Ino asked for before running back. Ino nodded her thanks, and had Blake hold Sakura's hair back as she wrapped the bandage tightly around Sakura's neck. After it was secured, the bandage grew a dark pink with blood, but they sighed as it stopped getting worse.
"S-Sakura, what happened?"
"S-Sasuke actually bit me!" Sakura cried up, whimpering at the pain when she tried to move. A pain killer appeared in front of her mouth and Sakura accepted it and the water that followed. Ino pulled out her phone and pulled the bandage back, taking a quick picture of the wound, before readjusting Sakura's wrappings while she still couldn't feel anything.
"Sakura, you need to show this to the producer."
"W-why?"
"Just come on." Ino spoke quickly before pulling Sakura up and together with Blake went out until they found the producer talking with the camera crew. The producer saw them coming and moved to accept them when he saw the blood spot and the bandage wrap around Sakura's neck and became worried.
"Sakura, are you alright?"
"Um…I…" Sakura gulped and Ino pulled out her phone and showed the producer the wound.
"Sasuke actually bit her!"
"What?!" The producer's eyes widened at the sudden information. "Sasuke!" The producer screamed and the set grew quiet, "Get over here!"
Sasuke jogged up and upon seeing Sakura cower, smirked. "Yeah?"
"What is the meaning of this?" The producer asked, showing him the picture.
"What?" Sasuke asked innocently, like a great actor would. "Sakura wanted me to do it."
"I-I did not!"
"She's lying. She wanted me to actually bite her. So I did."
"T-that's a lie."
"Whatever. You asked. I gave. Simple as that." Sasuke spoke before sighing as he moved away. "Geez, you weren't this ashamed when we did it last week." Sasuke called out, just loud enough for the whole studio to hear.
"I-I-I was not with you! I was with Naruto!" Sakura screamed.
"You wanted to scream like you did when we fucked. I mean, you were begging for it."
"I was not!" Sakura yelled before she charged forward, and it took no less than three of the set security to hold the enraged acting kunoichi back.
(Hours Later)
The car pulled up to Sakura and Ino's place, though to be told, Ino had started to live elsewhere, and so Ino stopped the car and turned to look at the horrified look on Sakura's face. They sat there in the car for a good half hour before Ino tried to comfort her with her words.
"...He'll understand, Sakura."
"...H-he'll get angry. Ino, he's terrible when he's angry. I don't know how to calm him down. H-He was so angry last week, he wanted to rip out Sasuke's throat."
"So instead, Sasuke rips out yours? Sakura, come on. It'll be okay."
"...Maybe...maybe not." Sakura muttered as she stepped out of the car and as Ino pulled away, her scarf blew into the sudden wind. Sakura was glad for the scarf. It would cover the wrappings and not worry Naruto. Plus, he always liked it on her. She would just forget this ever happened. Yeah...it never happened?
Sakura nodded to herself at her planned actions, and unlocked her door. As she stepped inside, she saw Naruto on the couch turning to her and smiled as best as she could without wincing. Damn, the pain killers were wearing off. She'd have to get to the bathroom as soon as possible.
"Hey Sakura-Chan." Naruto called out and Sakura nodded to him as she took off her trench coat. It was getting cold in Konoha this week, so she was cold. Sakura walked over to Naruto and hugged him deeply.
"So happy to be home."
"So am I." Naruto smiled before his face grew confused. "Why do you still have your scarf on?"
"A little cold?" Sakura offered sort-of.
Before Sakura could stop him, Naruto's hands were taking it off of her, being flirtatious.
"I can warm your neck up for you, Sakura-Chan." Naruto smiled before unwinding the scarf until he came to the brown bandage and his eyes narrowed in worry. But before he could do anything further, Sakura backed up and pulled her scarf tighter.
Sakura sighed at Naruto's actions. Her plans never worked out with him. Either he was too caring, or the perfect boyfriend. He was unpredictable!
"Naruto, please don't say anything. there is nothing to worry about."
"Sakura! There's a huge blood splotch on the wrapping!" Naruto pointed, and Sakura winced at his accusing voice.
"I-it's n-"
"Don't you dare say it's nothing! You always try to play it down. This is serious! Who did this?!"
"Um...s-Sasuke."
"What?" Naruot breathed as he grew angry.
"Look. Just-"
"I'm going to kill him!" Naruto shouted before he got off the couch and made his way over to the door. Sakura just stood there, stunned and worried. If Naruto killed Sasuke, all this would be solved. It would be over. But-No!
Naruto paused as Sakura wrapped her body around him. "Please Don't, Naruto! He's not worth it! Please! D-don't leave me!"
"S-Sakura…please…just let me-"
"No! Please, I need you now! When I'm unsure of myself is when I need you here with me! You promised to never leave me! If you kill Sasuke, you'll leave me. They'll take you away from me! P-please."
"Sakura." Naruto whispered before he let his arms wrap around Sakura's slim waist. There he thumbed her abs. "Sakura, I love you."
Sakura sniffled into his chest. "I love you too."
"I will never leave you." Naruto sniffled as the full realization of the situation broke his anger and only Sakura's love remained. "You are my rock, my salvation. You are my purpose in life. You turn me from the darkness inside."
"Then Stay…."
"….alright….."
The next morning, Naruto decided to let Sakura sleep in after their amazing night out, or rather, night in the bedroom. She was so desperate to please him, as he wished so much to please her. The wound wouldn't leave a scar, luckily as they'd learned after visiting the doctor, but it would stay in their minds for a long time to come.
Naruto pulled out his laptop as he sat on the island counter and had begun to answer emails when the phone rang on his cell phone. Naruto quickly looked at the number and dread flowed into his vision as he accepted the call from the magazine company.
"Hello?"
"Uzumaki-San, we just received an offer, though we rejected it of course, of a rather delicate picture."
"What is it?"
"It was a picture showing your girlfriend with another man. One Sasuke Uchiha."
"Him?" Naruto growled.
"The picture is taken from around a corner and you can't tell that it is Sakura exclusively, but we knew right away. I've called the other companies to reject the picture, but someone is trying to ruin your relationship."
"He already tried yesterday."
"Why? What happened?"
"...Personal Issues."
"I-…I understand. But there is something you need to know. Sasuke Uchiha scheduled a showing with a late night talk show about the picture, and it will be shown on that show. I think he means to accuse you and Sakura of something."
"Thank you for bringing this to my attention."
"I just don't want to see Sakura's tears anymore."
"Neither do I. Have a good day."
"Hopefully, you too."
Naruto ended the call and heard a knock on the doorway to the bedroom, and Naruto turned to see Sakura in her nightie looking small and worried.
"Sakura?" Naruto asked, wondering how much she had heard.
"Who was that?"
"T-the magazine."
"D-did they ask about my injury?"
"No, they warned us. Sasuke is taking this too far."
"He's going public, isn't he?"
"Yeah."
Sakura smiled faintly. "We'll beat him, Naruto. You and I together."
"You bet we will."
That night, Naruto, Sakura, and Ino sat before the television late that night, waiting for the show to bring Sasuke on stage. Finally, after half of the episode, they called Sasuke out and he smiled for the cameras.
"That bastard." Naruto growled, and calmed when Sakura's hand moved over to comfort his.
"It's alright, Naruto. Let him speak his lies." Sakura watched as Naruto grudgingly calmed down and sighed herself as they watched the events unfold before their very eyes.
"Welcome Sasuke Uchiha."
"Thank you for having me."
"So…it has come to light of a serious matter and yet the newpapers and magazines are not accepting the proof."
"They are worried that lawsuits may follow, but they won't, and I've never had a problem with pictures. Especially not this one." Sasuke spoke before the screen flipped to a photo, a photo of Sasuke kissing Sakura and Sakura 'kissing' back.
"Is that who we think it is?"
"Yes, Sakura Haruno."
"Did she allow for this picture to come to light?"
"Of course, I haven't been able to speak to her because of her deranged boyfriend, who she hates."
"Hates?"
"Let me put it this way, Naruto can't please her in the bedroom." Sasuke smirked.
"How do you know this?"
"Well, Sakura pulled me aside when we were filming and then kissed me. By the way, she tastes amazing, like strawberries. But then she told me that things weren't going well with Naruto. He was too…slow."
Sasuke scooted forward in his chair, and leaned forward. "I'm sure Sakura doesn't want me to say this, but I feel everyone should know. That picture a few weeks back, Sakura loved the attention she got. She loves playing the submissive girl. She had her hands tied in that photo. As you can see in mine, she had me hold her against the doorway and restrain her."
"What are you getting, Sasuke? Sakura likes a more feral kind of sexual practice?"
Sasuke smirked at the camera. "All I have to say is that when we had sex, Sakura was a bitch in heat and asked for many things, especially a bitch who needed a lesson taught to her, and I gave her lesson, all before her boyfriend came home."
...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Naruto pressed the button on the television remote, and the living room became dark, only lit by a faded light in the kitchen. Sakura shivered at the feeling of Naruto in solemn thought. He was always happy, and now Sasuke had found a crack in their relationship. Naruto always thought that she'd cheat on him when she herself never thought that to be possible, but it was the one thing she had to always worry about.
When she was on set, she made sure that Naruto knew that it was nothing. In front of her fans, shaking hands or kisses on the cheek were just greetings for celebrities. She made sure that Naruto knew all this these past few months, and that she loved him. S-she loved him, no matter how he felt or what he did. She would always love him, but this quiet, solemn Naruto. Sakura felt nothing but…fear? Fear that he wouldn't hear her and go away.
"N-Naruto…" Sakura ventured out, feeling as cold as metallic ice as the dark feelings swirled around her. "Naruto please say something."
"…What should I say?" Naruto asked, his voice hollow.
"D-Do you believe him?" Sakura asked fearfully. She had never done any of those things that Sasuke had lied about, but it was his word versus hers. But suddenly Naruto stared at her in disbelief, as if she had told him that she was pregnant.
"Why would I doubt my girlfriend?" Naruto asked, his voice in pain, and Sakura could do nothing but be a coward and look away.
"Couples usually doubt their spouses when it comes to this." Sakura muttered. Suddenly, and without warning, Naruto pushed Sakura harshly and Sakura could do nothing as he pinned her on the couch and just as suddenly, he was on top of her. "N-Naru-" Sakura began but she was nervous beyond her own belief.
The way Naruto was acting was like in the bedroom. Naruto always took control in bed, he directed where they went, how he took her, and she loved it! B-but this was a serious problem! Sakura felt Naruto's hand holding her wrists harshly and felt his hot breath upon her face. He wasn't being the lover he usually was. He was more feral and demanding and…Sakura paused in her thoughts; was Naruto jealous? Did he think that he was losing her and he just wanted her for himself?
Naruto bent down, next to her ear, before nipping it lightly as Sakura held in a pleasurable moan. Already she was feeling wet, because this was how they mated, but this wasn't the right emotions, or was it?
"We made a deal." Naruto uttered and Sakura stopped resisting as she stared up at him. "We made a deal when we began dating again, didn't we?" Naruto asked as he kissed Sakura's lips, before beginning to kiss lower and lower, making Sakura shiver in embarrassment that he still found her attractive after all that Sasuke said about her. "I promised never to lay with another woman, and you told me that you had fantasies for me to play out with you." Naruto reminded her before leaning back up and faced her directly. "Have you been with Sasuke?"
"No."
"Do you have any fantasies that I can't perform for you?"
"No."
"Then I have no reason to doubt you." Naruto smiled and as Sakura cried silently but in pure joy, they were soon too overwhelmed by emotions and through the waiting period away and just fucked like foxes in heat.
A week came to pass before the couple found a time slot on the same show to voice their concerns and rip Sasuke apart. As they got ready, Naruto adjusted Sakura's scarf and pet down her hair, making Sakura feel like a kid again going out on a snow day. Naruto was too caring when he wanted to be.
"You look beautiful." Naruto spoke as he kissed Sakura's pink rose lips.
"You are amazing." Sakura sighed happily, not remembering what they were really doing.
"Then let's do this."
"Let's pulverize him."
The couple walked out, back into the spotlight and immediately there were cheers all before them as talk swirled around them. Sakura wanted to be nervous, she did, but Naruto's hand clasped in hers gave her the confidence she needed, and unlike last time, she had nothing to prove except that she was Naruto's girlfriend, and was loyal to him to a fault.
Sakura and Naruto sat down in the chairs, side by side, and the cameramen focused in on the fact that their hands were held with the other, not sweaty, not stiff, but relaxed, and that made all the difference.
"So, let us get down to the root of it. Last week, Sasuke Uchiha claimed that you Sakura, and he have been intimate. All the while, you have been dating Naruto, a relative nobody until you mentioned his names months ago. What is your point on this?"
Sakura breathed in to hold in her voice of malice and began. "I would like to say that Sasuke can keep his perverted fantasies to himself. A chorus of laughter sounded and Sakura smiled brighter. I have never been intimate with Sasuke. The only time we were seen as intimate was in the show's finale, and there is nothing else between us."
"What would you say of the photograph though?"
"That was taken after a long afternoon. I had just met Sasuke, Just met, and he asked if I wanted coffee. To those that know me, I like to know my coworkers so I said yes. Sasuke then followed me home, and then, as I said goodbye, he grabbed me and forced himself on me! That is why I was resisting in the photo. It was not some sort of fetish for Sasuke. Whatever I have a fetish for, Naruto-Kun can fulfill all of them."
"Naruto does that? Is that true Naruto?"
"Um, uh, yes, Yes. I um…can't say any more on the subject?"
"It's okay Naruto," Sakura smiled and squeezed his hand, and Naruto smiled back, and the audience cooed as all viewers did.
"So anyways, you are calling Sasuke a liar? How can we trust you over him?"
Sakura's eyes narrowed and one look at Naruto and he nodded his head. Sakura slowly stood up, speaking as she did. "Sasuke says that I taste like strawberries, he forced his tongue down my throat without my consent to know that. And then he says I like it rough in bedroom," Sakura paused as she roughly pulled her scarf off of her neck, and there before the viewers of the show, enhanced by the zoomed in cameras, was the bite mark, and as they watched a small sliver of blood seeped out of the wound.
Sakura smiled sadly. "Sasuke did this to me during the torture scene on Shinobi Wars, where it was supposed to be fake. He just wanted to get between me and the man I love. I don't like him more than a coworker if even that. I love Naruto-Kun, I know where I belong and I will only ever be with him for what I hope are the rest of the days of my life.
