Author's Note

So, I finished the last chapter a bit early, but kept it up in hope for some reviews to respond to. Didn't get any. Not that there's anything wrong, of course, but reviews do encourage me on, knowing people are enjoying the story. Also helps me if you say what parts you didn't enjoy as well.

Also, this one is being uploaded early, just because of the site acting up. So, yay! Double Upload! Check out the previous chapter if you haven't.

Naroku: Right, it just slipped my mind. I'll remember to do so with some more practice.

Warning! This story will contain language, sexual situations, and possibly fetishes that some people may feel uncomfortable with. If you are easily offended or disturbed, don't complain, you've been warned.

Chapter 14: Just One Touch… Or Eight

After Tayuya had been marked with two of Yoichi's marks, things went up from there. Since there were now four girls, each wanting to be with Yoichi, it was a bit cramped at night, so Temari took the initiative by volunteering to sleep in her room now…. On the exception that Kin stay the night with her. There was surprisingly little argument, especially from Tayuya. Since her subjugation, she had practically become attached to Yoichi.

The girl who was most effected by Tayuya joining was Ino, who was at first annoyed by how Tayuya was hanging on him like she used to. But, by taking the 'Temari approach', she began to warm up to the red head as she had her serve her in various ways.

Although Tayuya stayed foul-mouthed, she began to get used to things, her insults becoming more playful. However, she would never admit to enjoying doing things for Ino and Yoichi, no matter how true it was. Everything was going just perfectly.

"So, what's everyone's plan for the day?" Yoichi asked during breakfast. It had been two weeks now since Tayuya had started living at the Sakata house now, and things finally had gotten into a new routine. Since they all couldn't fit on his bed, they now ate at their usual dining table. Kin and Temari had taken the role of cooking in the morning, Ino and Tayuya being the ones to wake Yoichi up.

"You already know what I'm doing." Tayuya said, sitting to his right. She had taken it upon herself to, as she says, 'Keep Master out of trouble.' By that, of course, she meant to never leave his side. He had to admit, it was a bit cute, and he was beginning to enjoy her company more and more.

"I'm heading to a photo shoot today. This one might take a while, though, so I might not be back till dinner." Ino said from his other side. Her part time modelling gig has been really successful. She still wasn't going to stop being a shinobi for it, of course, but she was getting several offers around the village recently. Being the exhibitionist she knew she was, she couldn't turn them down easily, most of the time coming home completely drenched between her legs.

"Kin and I are going out shopping. Running a bit low on cooking ingredients, and there were a few other places we were wanting to stop by." Kin sat beside Tayuya, with Temari beside her. To Yoichi's amusement, he found the two having their own fun the other day, with Kin calling the older girl 'Mistress.' He didn't mind their own dynamic going on, especially since when he stepped in for a bit of time with them, Temari practically fell to the same level as Kin.

"What about you, Yoichi-sama?" Kin asked.

"Jiraiya came back yesterday with Naruto and Lady Tsunade. I might go look for him to see if he can teach me anything else. I've gone through all the scrolls he gave me anyways." It wasn't a secret that the Third's battle with Orochimaru left him extremely worn out. He had been forced to retake the position as Hokage since the Fourth's death, and he had thought he could continue on. Old age had another plan, and he finally decided to retire for good.

Jiraiya had made sure to stop by the day before to let Yoichi know he was back, explaining the reason behind his trip. He was considered to be a candidate for the Fifth Hokage, but he turned it down, believing his other teammate was better suited, volunteering to bring her back to Konoha to take the position.

The girls nodded, the five of them idly chatting as they finished up, Ino volunteering to clean up as Kin and Temari head out, Yoichi taking a shower with Tayuya joining him. He had to admit, having her around was really nice. She wasn't some sex-crazed slut, but she was always willing to please. While she also could be foul mouthed around others, when it was just the two of them, she could be incredibly caring and sweet.

"You know, it's almost surprising how well you've taken to life here, and so quickly." He said to her, Tayuya washing his back for him. Hearing him say that, she wrapped her arm around him, resting her chin on his shoulder.

"You're my Master, if I feel behind at any point, I might disappoint you. Besides, I owe you as much as Kin does now." Looking down, he gently took her hands in his, seeing her now with only one mark. In a surprising twist of events, he had not given her back her personality, but instead just removed one of her marks.

It turned out, that in his attempt to 'corrupt' her as his slave, it had just canceled out the corruption by Orochimaru. It was certainly strange, but Tayuya was a lot happier, deciding to still serve him as she would have. She had as much free will as the others, deciding to willingly serve him. Of course, it was all she knew, having to be Orochimaru's body guard for several years. It wasn't much different, but now she was happier, and had someone much better to serve.

"Is it wrong to say that of all the girls, you're the closest to being my favorite?" He asked, Tayuya smiling wide, him turning around and kissing her gently, to which she happily returned. It's not that he didn't like the other girls, they all had their own unique charm. Tayuya, though, was just there to be…. There for him. She enjoyed the sex, yes, but that was more of a bonus.

She had hated men all her life because they tried to use her for various reasons, not once thinking about her own feelings. Now, here was someone that cared for her, even after what she did to him. Taking a seat on the small shower bench, he pulled her into his lap, Tayuya wrapping her arms around his neck, the two taking a moment to enjoy each other's company.

It was times like these that always conflicted inside Yoichi. On one hand, he enjoyed feeling powerful over the girls, having them serve him. But on the other, the tender moments like this were something he enjoyed just as much, if not more.

"Mind if I join?" Their moment was interrupted as Ino stepped in, not really waiting for an answer. Of course, that annoyed Tayuya, getting up and poking the other's chest.

"Of course we fucking mind! Couldn't you see we were having a goddamn moment to ourselves? I swear, you can be such an insensitive bitch!" She exclaimed, Ino not looking phased at all.

"Well, sorry, but I was his first. If anyone's insensitive, it's you for trying to hog him for yourself!" She retorted. Before this could escalate any more, Yoichi stood up.

"Ino, Tayuya, calm down. You're both important to me, okay? I may have had you around longer, Ino, but that doesn't make Tayuya any less important. Can you both just try to get along?" He asked, the girls looking to him, then to each other, then to him. Ino sighed, speaking first.

"Just for you, Yoichi. But only on the promise that I never have to leave your bed." Tayuya narrowed her eyes, arms crossing.

"If she doesn't, then I don't either! There's room for three after all, right?" Yoichi pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Alright, fine. Both of you can always sleep with me." Looking to them again, he had a feeling he had been tricked. The fake, innocent smiles on their faces further solidified that feeling.

"Hear that, Ino? Master said we always get to sleep with him~" Tayuya said, the two girls wrapping one arm around each other.

"Indeed, Tayuya~! Guess we better get along then, huh?" Ino replied, before the two girls faced each other, pressing their bodied against one another, and began to kiss. Not just any kind of kiss, an intentionally slow, lots of tongue, over-exaggerated one.

"You two weren't actually fighting, were you?" He asked blankly, the girls pulling back, a large grin on each of their faces.

"We love you~" They said together, each straddling one of his legs, leaning in to kiss along either side of his neck. With a reluctant sigh, he wrapped an arm around them both.

"I love you both, too." He was sincere when he said that, as he knew the girls were too. Hearing him say those words just made them happier, rubbing their bodies against him. It was going to be a long morning.

"You want to do what?" Jiraiya asked Yoichi. After his shower, he and the girls got ready before heading out as well, where he and Tayuya went out to look for Jiraiya, finding him training with Naruto.

"I want to check out Naruto's seal. It looks familiar to something you gave me, and while I don't know what his seal is used for, I think I can improve it a bit." Yoichi responded, Naruto and Tayuya looking on. Luckily Naruto didn't recognize Tayuya at all as one of Orochimaru's bodyguards. Jiraiya did, but had already been explained. He also promised to not say Tayuya was out of the house, mostly because he wanted to check her seal too.

"I can't let you do that. Not even I would dare touch it. It's too dangerous, especially someone like you who has so little experience, and you don't even know what it is." Jirayia said, crossing his arms.

"But Lord Jiraiya, his seal is the most advanced I've seen! If I can just look it over, I'm sure I can learn something new." Yoichi complained, Tayuya even speaking up.

"Yeah! He's already learned everything from your shitty scrolls and you told us there's nothing else you can do to help." She didn't really know what seal they were talking about, but if there's anything she's learned about Yoichi, it's that he knows seals. Jiraiya sighed. To be fair, he didn't expect this kid to do so well. He had given him as much as he could, and now he had nothing left.

"Alright, alright. Fine. I'll let you look at it. Nothing more. Got that?" Yoichi nodded excitedly. "While you do that, I want to take a look at the girl's seal, that alright?" Tayuya nodded as well. "Good. Naruto, you lay down and pull up your shirt. Take a nap if you need to."

"Fine..." Naruto let out with a sigh, not wanting to miss out on more training. Hopefully this wouldn't last too long. In a few minutes, Naruto and Tayuya were both in a comfortable position, Yoichi and Jiraiya looking over them respectively. Naruto quickly fell asleep from not doing anything, making things bit easier for Yoichi.

As time went on, he couldn't make any sort of progress as he was. The seal had eight points on it, with a spiral in the middle. While the points didn't have anything too specific about them, there was something that kept nagging Yoichi. Glancing over at Jiraiya, he saw that the sage had his back to him. This was as good as chance as ever.

Channeling a bit of chakra into one finger tip, he touched each of the eight points at seemingly random before observing if anything happened. At first, nothing did. Then, the seal began to fade. Thinking he did something good, he looked over to Jiraiya, about to call for his attention when Naruto let out a yell of agony.

"What's going on!?" The sage turning around, his eyes widening as well as Yoichi, watching as Naruto's body began to emanate red chakra, Yoichi backing away. "What did you do!? I told you not to touch it!" He yelled at the boy, who couldn't do anything but watch. Not wanting to waste any time, and not able to anything where he was, the sage quickly grabbed Naruto.

"I'll be talking with you later if we're not dead." He stated before disappearing. Tayuya moved over to Yoichi, hitting him gently on his head.

"You just had to fucking touch it." She said, sighing before helping him up.

"If he just told me why I shouldn't have touched it, I wouldn't have." He said, a bit shaken, but quickly composing himself. The two quickly returned home, not wanting things to get worse. But of course, fate had other plans. Immediately when they got in, they ran into Temari, who was prepped up as if for a mission.

"Temari, what's going on?" Yoichi asked. Temari jumped, not expecting him there.

"You didn't hear? Sasuke Uchiha's been kidnapped! Last person who saw him said that he was with three guys who gave him some pill, then put him in a coffin. They've got a lead on where he was taken, and they're looking for any help to go after them." She said, Tayuya widening her eyes.

"Wait, coffin? Shit! Then that means… wait, there's only three of them!? What the fuck are they thinking!?" She said, Yoichi and Temari giving her a look. "That must be the other Sound Five, minus our… I mean, their leader. They're taking him to the snake bastard while upgrading his fucking seal. Problem is, they need four people to use that coffin! They might kill him as it is!" Temari cursed under her breath.

"And you're supposed to stay here… Alright, Yoichi, you go on ahead. They're heading northwest. I'll go report what Tayuya said and see if anyone else can come. Tayuya, you need to stay here. Kin will look after you." Temari said, Tayuya not really happy but this was an emergency. Thankfully Yoichi didn't need anything else, running off immediately.

It didn't take long for him to come across where a battle had taken place. Lying on the ground being treated was Choji. As much as he wanted to stop, he didn't have time to waste. Following the same direction, he came across a wounded Neji and later a wounded Kiba, who he barely remembered but still recognized him as the genin who didn't get a team. Luckily they were also being treated already, so he didn't feel as bad as he continued on.

Eventually he reached what looked to be a field of spikes, he came across Gaara and Lee, the latter fairly injured but otherwise fine. Being carried in Gaara's sand was a black coffin, the two genin beginning to make their way back. Landing in front of them, Yoichi sighed.

"Oh, come on! I don't get to do anything around!" He said, much to the other's confusion. "Oh, sorry. My bad. You guys, uh, need any help?" They continued to stare at him blankly, Gaara's sand easily carrying the coffin. "Right, right. I take it you guys have it handled."

A couple hours later, Yoichi was joined by Tayuya at the hospital. Choji, Neji, and Kiba were currently being looked after, along with Gaara, Kankuro, and Lee. Somehow he had missed Kankuro at some point. Temari was with her siblings, talking with them about how things were going and hearing about what was happening at Suna.

Tayuya had been requested to be there, now being the only living member, albeit former, of the Sound Five. Anything she could tell them about the coffin would help them as it had not yet opened, being under heavy observation. Yoichi, however…

"I can't believe you. After all I've done for you, you couldn't do one thing, and not touch his seal. Do you know what you've done because of whatever you did? No, of course not. I don't even know what you did. All I know, is that now it's gone." Jiraiya said, having brought Naruto to the hospital earlier. So far, nothing too unusual had happened, both strangely and thankfully, but he had been unconscious for a while.

"You know damn well what the seal did and what it was. If you just told him anything, we wouldn't be having this fucking problem, would we?" Tayuya retorted on Yoichi's behalf, the latter rubbing his temple.

"Hate to say it Jiraiya, but the girl's right. You could have made up literally anything, but you just told him not to touch it." Jiraiya groaned as he turned to Tsunade, who had come to the hospital thanks to her medical knowledge. She had been the one to check on Naruto, and now she along with Jiraiya were among the few trying to figure out the deal with the coffin.

"I admit, this is partially my fault. But what stands is that he deliberately did something after I told him it was dangerous." Jiraiya said, crossing his arms. Yoichi sighed.

"Alright, here's the problem. I don't know what I did. At all. I touched the seal a few times, and that was it. I was told it would be dangerous, yes, but now you're telling me nothing has happened. So, I don't understand why what I did was such a big deal." Yoichi stated. The sannin were at a bit of a loss. On one hand, they could tell him and be put on trial for treason. On the other hand, they didn't and had him punished for seemingly no reason.

"It's alright, Jiraiya, Tsunade. I think at this point it's fair to tell him. Especially because since the seal's gone, it might be as well." The Third Hokage approached them, using a staff to help him walk. Old age definitely wasn't treating him well. Jiraiya looked to his sensei before sighing.

"Very well. To keep the story short, the Fourth Hokage couldn't kill the Nine-Tails 13 years ago. Instead, he sealed it inside Naruto. That seal was supposed to hold the beast inside Naruto, but with it gone, there' no telling what happened to it. It could be dead, it could be alive. I thought it would escape when the seal disappeared, but so far, there's been nothing." Yoichi nodded slowly.

"I see… I guess that also explains why people treat him differently… But, now what?" The older three shrugged.

"All we can do is wait, really." They sat in silence for a few moments, before someone came rushing by.

"The coffin's opening!" They exclaimed. The Third Hokage, two sannin, Yoichi, and Tayuya all moved to where it was under watch. As it opened, it released a heavy, dark mist, revealing…

"Wait, that's not Sasuke." Yoichi said, the Third Hokage furrowing his brow. Indeed, inside the coffin was not Sasuke Uchiha, but a girl with shoulder-length black hair. What made things more confusing was she was dressed similarly to how Sasuke usually did.

"What's going on?" A voice from behind them asked, Yoichi turning around and blinking, staring at another girl with long blonde hair, rubbing one of her eyes tiredly. He thought she was just some passer-by, but the marks on her cheek and the over-generous amount of orange she wore could only be attributed to one person.

"Uh… Naruto…?" He asked, hoping to whatever god out there he was wrong. Things were already strange enough as they were. The girl puffed out her cheeks, putting her hands on her hips.

"Oh, come on, is it really that hard to remember? It's Na-ru-ko!"

Author's Note

And that finishes things up! So, in the poll swapping Naruto and Sasuke's genders was the winner. Why did they change the way they did? I just thought it'd be the best way. The only other way I thought of was having them fight like normal, but when they clashed, they switched universes with female versions who lived in a universe where everyone's genders were different. But I decided 'Nah, too simple.' So voila!

Anyways, hope you all enjoyed! Please make sure to follow this story to keep up to date on when I post as I do not have a regular schedule. Also leave a review/comment telling me what you did or didn't like and what you'd like to see more or less of. Any bit helps!

Until next time!
