My Everything
Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. Sorry this one is late. I was having a bit of writer's block for it and got caught up with my other stories. Don't worry though, I do plan on finishing this one.
Chapter Notation: Shikamaru gets more than he bargained for when tries to check on Naruko. Warnings will be put up before and after. Oh and the drama is about to start. ;)
Chapter Nine
A few days later, Sasuke was convinced that his gorgeous lover had lost her mind. Sometimes he wondered if he had hit her just a little bit too hard during one of their many battles. Because every so often, she had to go and say something completely crazy. Today was just happened to be one of those days.
"Naruko, you can't be serious. You want ME to be an Academy Instructor?" Sasuke asks incredulously.
"Yeah! What's so crazy about it? You're really smart and the kids could learn a lot from you. Besides, it will show the villagers that deep down you are really just an oversized teddy bear. A really sexy teddy bear, but still." She says, sounding quite pleased with herself.
Sasuke raises an eyebrow. He couldn't believe that the blonde had just called him a teddy bear. His pride was slightly soothed when she included the adjective sexy, but still.
"Naruko, no one is going to trust me around their five year old. Remember? I used to an S Class Criminal." Sasuke reminds her.
"I'd trust you with my five year old. Sasuke, I'm Hokage. They aren't going to argue with me, if I give you the post. Besides, you like kids. You want to have lots of them, right? Think of this as practice." She says with a smile.
"Naruko, you would trust me because you're you. Most people are not going to trust me with their kids. I guess I like kids more than I like most adults. Well yeah, but that's a little different. This is not very good practice anyway. The kids go home at the end of the day and any bonding would be minimal because there are so many of them. " Sasuke reasons.
Naruko shakes her head. He was going to be difficult. Well she supposed that she should have expected that. Sasuke was Sasuke. He always had to be difficult. Oh well. She knew she could talk him into it.
"They'll learn that they can trust you eventually. I don't get it. You want lots of kids, but you don't want to be around Academy kids?" She asks in confusion.
"Academy children are different. They aren't OURS. I mean I wouldn't hurt them, but I don't have the same innate desire to love and protect them like I would my own children. I'd protect them, of course. But the bond just isn't there naturally. It has to be forged and that's hard to do when you are teaching that many kids at once." He reasons.
Naruko shakes her head. In the old days, she would have settled this through a fight. Mostly likely, by throwing a punch at him. Things were different now. The blonde knew a far more effective approach to get what she wanted from him now. She pounces and pins him to the bed.
"Naruko, don't you dare." Sasuke warns her.
That didn't stop Naruko though. She knew how to get compliance out of the stubborn Uchiha now. She decides to start off slow. So she nibbles on his ear and slides her hands under his shirt.
"Th-at is fighting dirty and you know it." He says with a needy sigh.
"Maybe, but it's a lot more fun than fighting with our fists and you are less stubborn this way." She whispers hotly into his ear and her hands slide down further, coming to the zipper of his pants.
"Damn it." He mutters, knowing what was going to happen.
Naruko had figured out his weakness. He had honed his battle reflexes and senses to as high as they could possibly be. This included touch.
Which apparently meant that he was REALLY sensitive to any sensual touches. It didn't take much to persuade him to do whatever she wanted, once she found that out. It was both hot and annoying as Hell at the same time.
"You are really annoying sometimes." He mutters as he grabs her hands and flips them, so he was on top of her.
"And you're really hard. You know you like it, bastard. So what do you say? Will you give it a chance?" She asks.
"Fine, I'll give it a chance. But you are a fucking tease and you had better finish what you started." He warns her.
Naruko smiles and kisses him. That was better. She knew he could talk him into it. Oh and as a bonus, she was going to get some amazing sex out of the deal. Life was good. Life was very good.
Meanwhile back at the hospital, Sakura couldn't believe it. She still couldn't wrap her mind around the fact that Sasuke and Naruko were lovers. The blonde definitely wouldn't lie about something like that but still.
They had fought like cats and dogs since they were five. Yes, Naruko had been insanely dedicated to getting him back. But Sakura had thought that it was only friendship that had motivated Naruko to act that way. That and the blonde had made the pink haired ninja a promise that she would bring the missing Uchiha back. She didn't think it was out of romantic love.
"I can tell by the shocked look upon face that you know as well." Kakashi muses as he walks over to the only female member of Team Seven.
"Wait how did you know?!" The pink haired woman demanded, shocked that her former Sensei knew about the relationship.
"Gaara wrote me. He had concerns. I can't say that his concerns weren't valid. But it's Naruko. She has a way of making the impossible, possible. While Sasuke certainly has an odd way of expressing it, he does love her. The fact that she is still breathing is evidence enough." He muses.
Sakura blinks. She supposed Kakashi had a point. Sasuke had had ample opportunity to kill her and he hadn't taken any of them. Privately, she sulked at the fact that he wouldn't have hesitated to kill her back when he was flirting with insanity.
"I guess you're right. Wait they told Gaara?!" She asks in shock.
"It appears that way. Well they were in the Sand. It sounds like they only recently got together. Might have happened while they were in the Wind Country. Though honestly, the hints have been there for years. I do hope that Sasuke has enough energy to handle Naruko and that Naruko can handle his…issues." He muses.
The pink haired woman rubs the back of her head sheepishly. Honestly, she wasn't sure if there was a woman alive who could. But if anyone could handle Sasuke, it would be Naruko. She supposed there was really nothing she could do, but wait and see what happened.
"So what are you here for?" She asks, changing the subject.
"Oh just my annual physical. Standard procedure, as you know. If you are free, it'd be nice if you'd save your old Sensei a horrid hour or so in the waiting room." He suggests cheerfully.
Sakura snorts in amusement. She didn't see why he cared about that hour. It wasn't like the man could be on time to save his life. The medic nods her head though and leads him off for his physical.
"Does this mean that I finally get to see you without your mask?" She asks excitedly and Kakashi shakes his head.
Idly, he mused that some things would never change. His students still all wanted to see him without his mask. He assumed the rest of the Rookies also held a similar desire. It was too much fun messing with them to let them see his face voluntarily. Truthfully, it had become something of a guilty pleasure. (Not that he would ever admit that out loud, of course.)
"No. You aren't that lucky. I have a reputation to protect after all." He states with a smile.
"As the Leaf's most perverted and unpunctual teacher ever? Yes, well you do protect that one very well." She says with a laugh and drags him off for his physical.
Kakashi winced. Damn, Sakura had gotten strong. Her training with Tsunade had really paid off. She could now drag him or any man around like a rag doll. Sometimes he didn't think the woman knew her own strength anymore.
"Easy, Sakura. Easy. You don't have to drag me that hard." He chides her gently.
"Oh right. Sorry. Guess I kinda got carried away there." She says sheepishly.
"It's alright. I don't think you did any permanent damage." He notes with a chuckle.
It was hard to reconcile the image he still had of them as Genin with who they had become. He had the only two female squad of the Rookie Nine. That fact had terrified the Hell out of him at first. Thankfully, Sakura and Naruko had managed to eek out their own niches in the group and the fighting between them had been minimal.
Now, Naruko and Sasuke were a completely different case. It didn't matter what the topic was, they would fight about it. If Naruko said yes, Sasuke said no. If she said left, he said right. If he wanted to make camp, she wanted to press on.
On and on it went. They bickered like an old married couple from the moment they first arrived on his squad. It had been an exhausting, though amusing experience.
"Well that's good." Sakura says with a smile.
"Yes, I do prefer to be in one piece as well." Kakashi nods in agreement.
Meanwhile Shikamaru sighs as he walks around the village. This was such a drag. He knew something was going on with Naruko. Asking her directly wouldn't work. So he was going to have to be sneaky.
He didn't like doing it, but he was concerned. So he headed off to find Shino. Shino was the best at collecting intelligence in the whole village. No one ever expected insects were actually spying on you. It was the perfect way to gather information without tipping anyone off.
"Hello, Shikamaru." Shino says and tilts his head to the side, wondering what the lazy ninja wanted from him.
"Hey, Shino. Do you mind if I borrow one of your bugs for awhile? I'm kinda worried about Naruko. It's a drag, but she's acting strange." The cloud lover informs the other man.
Shino blinks. He wondered what the genius meant by strange. Naruko was never exactly normal. But well, Naruko was Hokage. He should help her out, if she was possibly in danger.
"Of course. Is there a specific species you'd like to use?" He asks.
"A butterfly might be best. You know how women are about them." Shikamaru says after thinking about it for a minute and Shino hands him the butterfly.
Shino nods. He wishes his friend good luck and watches as the other man departs. The insect lover hoped that it worked. The Leaf needed Naruko to much to allow anything to happen to the hyper Hokage.
It took hours for the butterfly to finally track Naruko down. According to the butterfly, Naruko was in the Uchiha District. The insect had rubbed its body against the dirt floor of the forest to spell this out. Shikamaru actually felt kinda bad for the bug. It really did look like super exhausting process to spell out such a simple message.
"Thank you. You can fly back to Shino now." Shikamaru whispers and watches as the butterfly heads off, before making his way to the Uchiha District.
Quite honestly, it was creepy. It was like a ghost town. Shikamaru guessed that was appropriate. Only one house in the entire place had lights on. So it didn't take him long to figure out which house was Sasuke's.
He heads over and blinks as he heard Naruko's voice. Sasuke's voice followed shortly after. They were both calling out each other's names really loudly. At first he thought it was a training session, until he followed the voices and was standing outside the bedroom window.
"Definitely not tr-aining." He stammers when he looked into the window.
Warning Shikamaru Gets an Eyeful
Naruko and Sasuke were in a bedroom. Shikamaru assumed it was Sasuke's. Not that that detail mattered as much as what they were doing.
The blonde was on top of Sasuke, completely naked. Judging by Sasuke's bare chest, it was likely he was also naked. The Hokage was currently riding her lover and moaning wantonly.
The shadow user at first was shocked that Sasuke was actually allowing her to dominate him this way, but then he saw the Uchiha's hands on her hips. Naruko was on top, but Sasuke was clearly setting the pace. This was apparently much to both of their enjoyment.
"SASUKE!" She screams in pleasure as she no doubt just hit her orgasm.
"NARUKO!" He hears Sasuke call out his lover's name, seemingly not far behind.
End of Shikamaru's Eyeful
Shikamaru was a Jonin. He was an experienced ninja. There were very few things that could truly make him blush anymore. But he felt his cheeks heating up.
It wasn't that he had intended to spy on them THAT way. He had just been at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Well that answered his question though. Naruko had been speaking from personal appearance.
Naruko slides off of her lover and lays by his side. Both of them were panting and exchanged a heated kiss. They really should have done this a long time ago.
"One of these days, that isn't going to work. You know that, right?" Sasuke asks in amusement.
"Whatever, bastard. You know it's always going to work. You're secretly as big a pervert as Jirayia and Kakashi Sensei combined!" She says cheerfully.
"Maybe, but only for you though. I didn't hear you complaining a few minutes ago…" He says with a smirk.
"Well I never said I didn't like it. I was just you know, making an observation!" She retorts and blushes slightly.
He smirks. Sasuke was going to respond to that when he felt it. He felt chakra nearby. It wasn't his or Naruko's. He knew her chakra signature almost better than his own. No, this was someone else.
Naruko blinks. Sasuke had gone from being playful to being on high alert. She looks around, not sure what triggered this reaction in her lover.
"Sasuke?" She asks uncertainly.
"Wait here." Sasuke whispers to her, before throwing on some pants and teleporting outside in a swirl of flames.
Shikamaru gulps when Sasuke materializes in front of him. The Uchiha's Sharingan activated almost instantly and before Shikamaru could do anything, Sasuke had his hand wrapped around his throat. Oh yeah, this wasn't good. His only hope was that Naruko would come to investigate and save him from her vengeful lover.
"What the fuck are you doing in MY District, Shikamaru? Is your last name Uchiha? Did I invite you here?! Is the village under attack?! Because I am trying to think of some reason that would justify you breaking and entering onto MY lands and acting like some perverted voyeur!" Sasuke snarls at him.
"I was worried about Naruko! She was acting weird. So I decided to send a check on her. I found her here. I didn't expect to…see you two together like that!" Shikamaru tries to explain desperately.
Sasuke's eyes narrow. The story sounded plausible. Their relationship was so new, that it was unlikely that Shikamaru had knowingly decided to watch them. Still he was not happy. The other genius had invaded his personal space and no doubt got an eyeful of Naruko. (Which was an even greater transgression in Sasuke's mind.)
Naruko quickly throws on her clothes and darts outside to see what was wrong. She blinks when she saw Shikamaru. Sasuke had him by the throat. Uh oh. She had to save her friend. (She loved Sasuke, but damn did he have a temper and an obsession about personal space.)
"Sasuke, let go of Shikamaru. Shikamaru, what are you doing here?" She says.
Sasuke grumbles. He releases Shikamaru though. The other Leaf Ninja shoots his Hokage a grateful look. It was very likely that she had just saved his life and they all knew it.
"I was worried about you. You said some stuff at the Ramen Shop that got me thinking. So I tried to find you and ended up here. I'm really sorry. I didn't expect to see you two…being together in that way." He mumbles.
Naruko feels her face heating up. Shikamaru had seen them having sex. She wasn't ashamed of her relationship with Sasuke. They hadn't gone public yet, but she had no issues doing so. But that was a little different than putting on a show for someone.
"Well you don't need to worry about me. I'm okay. I'm better than okay actually. I'm in love." She says with a smile.
"Yeah. Um I saw that." Shikamaru replies and Sasuke shoots him a rather venomous glare for that comment.
"I'm gonna go. I won't tell anyone what I saw. I mean it's your business, but if you ever want to talk. I'm here. You know that, right?" He asks.
Naruko nods. Shikamaru runs out of the Uchiha District like he was running for his life. He probably thought he was on some level.
"That fucking pervert." Sasuke mutters in agitation.
"Sasuke, it's not like he knew that we were going to be, you know…doing stuff." The blonde defends her friend.
"No, but he knew this was private property and he was not invited. If he comes back, I'm going to Chidori him, Naruko. He's lucky you talked me out of strangling him. I don't like anyone else seeing you, that way." Sasuke mutters.
"Awe, you do care. Who is a jealous, lovable bastard?" Naruko asks happily.
Sasuke twitches. He crosses his arms and looks away. Yes, he was jealous. But he had damn good reason to be. Shikamaru wasn't blind and he had gotten an eyeful. Naruko's body was a visual feast for any man, especially without her clothes on.
Did he think that Shikamaru was stupid enough to try to seduce her? No, he didn't. Sasuke just didn't like him looking at her. That was all. Besides, he knew that Naruko was VERY satisfied being with him.
"You aren't bothered at all by the fact he saw us having sex?" Sasuke asks and raises an eyebrow.
"Well a little. I mean I wanna tell everyone about us. I just wasn't planning on showing them us. You know? It's a little embarrassing, but it was an accident." She replies.
He sighs and pulls her into his arms. What was the point of having an UCHIHA District, if non-Uchihas could just walk in anytime they wanted. Naruko was an exception of course. She was his lover. He wanted her there. He didn't feel the same way about Shikamaru.
"Just make sure he doesn't show up here, uninvited again. You're Hokage. He'll listen to you." Sasuke mutters.
"Alright. Now about that teaching position." She says.
Sasuke raises an eyebrow. She really was stubborn. Naruko had to be the most stubborn woman that he had ever met. The last Uchiha resigned himself to the fact that he was going to have to try to play teacher for awhile. It would make her happy, which was something he wanted to do.
"I said I'd give it a try." Sasuke reminds her and pokes her forehead for forgetting.
"I know. But you aren't really happy about it. Besides, just think of all the advantages." The busty blonde continues on brightly.
He looks at her in amusement. Naruko was actually going to try to sell him on this idea. Well this should be entertaining. God only knows what was going to come out of that wonderfully talented mouth.
"Go on. What are the advantages?" Sasuke asks.
"Well for one, you'd have a set schedule. You also wouldn't be risking life and limb everyday, so I'd know you'd be safe. That and after hours, I could come visit you when you are grading papers and we could make good use of the desk." Naruko answers him.
"Good points, especially that last one." The dark haired ninja replies with a smirk at the possibilities.
Naruko giggles at his smirk. She smiles and cuddles into his arms. Things were much better now. All worries had been temporarily banished from her mind.
Elsewhere the Daimyos were having a meeting. The topic of the conversation was Naruko Uzumaki. She had simply grown too powerful and too beloved.
"I don't think she's a threat. She's never shown any hint of wanting political power, beyond being Hokage." The Fire Daimyo says.
"She might not be a threat now, but she will be in the future. Absolute power, corrupts absolutely. Besides, the Uchiha is back in the Leaf. He's likely whispering in her ear." Another says Earth Daimyo.
The Wind Daimyo frowns. He honestly wasn't sure which way to lean. They both raised valid points. Without Naruko, they would have lost the war. But it was highly unlikely that she would be one of only a handful of people with power, who wouldn't eventually want more.
"She's too popular to kill. We can't send an assassin. That will never work. The only real method I can see that would work, if we decide to do this…is poison." He suggests.
"Poison it is then." The Lightning Daimyo states.
He knew that it was better to deal with her now. Naruko would eventually want power and they wouldn't be able to stop her. So they had to nip this in the bud as soon as possible.
"I cast my vote for assassination by poison." The Water Daimyo says.
The Fire Daimyo sighs. It was a pity, but in this case…majority would rule. He did hope that the woman died a quick, relatively painless death. She had done so much good. It wasn't really fair, but they couldn't allow her to take over the world.
The Daimyos quickly turn their attention to discussing other affairs of the day. They were able to compartmentalize their feelings to such an extent that to them, it wasn't difficult to go from talking about an assassination to trade ratios.
By the end of the meeting, most of the parties were satisfied. Thus that was how they decided the fate of Naruko Uzumaki. As she was a citizen of the Fire Country, it was decided that the deed would fall to the Fire Daimyo to carry out.
He sighs and heads back to his home. The man summoned one of his best healers to his private quarters. There could be no room for error on this task. Naruko had to be killed and quickly. Preferably painlessly, but that was not a requirement.
"I need to know what poison would kill a ninja with vast chakra reserves the quickest." He states.
"This one, my lord. I've seen this kill a grown man in thirty seconds. He was a Jonin at that. This can kill anyone. I promise you." The healer says.
"Excellent. You must speak of this to no one. Thank you." He says and pays the healer, as he contemplates how to get Naruko to consume the deadly poison.
