Just Dance

Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. So now we get to see Naruto's reaction when the identity of the stalker is revealed to him. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter Notation: I'm aware that falling for each other this fast isn't the most "realistic" portrayal. But I'm hoping that my readers are romantics at heart ;) Just some kissing and things of that nature at this point. No limes or lemons, yet. (But we will get there.) Oh and as usual there is some swearing.

Chapter Four

"Alright. I promise. Who is he?" Naruto asks Itachi, wanting to know the identity of Suki's stalker.

"Orochimaru." He says simply and notes Naruto's wide eyed reaction, it was to be expected.

The blonde couldn't believe it. But at the same time he could. There was something about Orochimaru that just looked so slimy. Still it was hard to wrap his mind around the fact that one of his Godfather's former bandmates was stalking Suki. How had Jirayia worked with such a sick fuck for years and not have noticed?

"It's fine, Naruto. He's too smart to actually try to hurt me. I'm too high profile. Orochimaru just likes to play head games with me." Suki says and tries to reassure the blonde.

Naruto felt white hot anger rush through his veins. It was fine?! Was she out of her mind? It clearly was not fine. This freak was terrorizing her! In no universe was this acceptable!

"It's not fine. He can't just get away with something like this." The blonde practically growls.

Suki shivers at the tone in Naruto's voice. There was something very dark and dangerous about it. It was so different than what she had come to expect from the bubbly blonde, she had known for a couple of days.

"If I go to the police, it will be his word against mine. Every thing that I've done in my life will be under a microscopic. Orochimaru is a legend in the music industry. He's been around for decades. Frankly, he has the PR advantage. As popular as Chidori is, I can't compete with someone who started a fucking university when it comes to goodwill. Even if I won the case, it'd probably wreck my career and he knows that." The brunette argues.

"Well the press thinks we are together now. Do you think he'd stop if he thought you had a boyfriend?" The blonde asks.

Suki shakes her head. She knew where Naruto was going with this and it was an awful idea. She'd tried to date in the past. The singer wasn't sure what Orochimaru had done to them, but she knew that somehow he had definitely scared them off.

Suddenly, they would all realize they were moving far away or they just weren't ready for a relationship or something. The terror in their voice as they told her this, had been all too real and she recognized these excuses for the lies they were. She just knew that Orochimaru was involved whenever this happened to her.

"If anything, that would probably set him off." Itachi says.

"Damn it. Well there has to be something we can do." The blue eyed musician says.

"There is no WE in this equation, other than myself and Itachi. You aren't involved." Suki says and tries to put her foot down for the other lead singers own good.

"The Hell I'm not! Turn on the news or look at any magazine. They all think we are together. I know you think you are protecting me, but you aren't. Unless Orochimaru is some kind of hermit, he's going to notice those rumors. So stop being fucking stubborn and let me help you!" Naruto roars at her.

"Stop being annoying! I don't need you to protect me. We just met two days ago. You don't owe me anything and I'm not asking for your help! The rumors will die down eventually. The press is easily distracted. In a week at most, they'll move onto something else." The brunette counters and tries to stare him down.

"If you think that I'm just going to ignore this and let this creep keep harassing you or even kill you, you are so wrong." Naruto says and stares right back at her, recognizing the look for what it was…a challenge.

"Oh boy." Itachi mutters and smacks his forehead with hand in exasperation.

Suki's eyes watered and she blinked first. The brunette rubs them furiously. Naruto smirks in victory.

"Best out of three." She mutters.

"Not going to happen." The blonde says.

"Fuck you, Uzumaki." She growls.

"Yes, please. Though usually I would prefer to be the one on top. I don't mind if you want to take the reigns though." Naruto says with a grin.

"You did not just say that." Suki says and twitches.

"He did, little sister. I do believe he did." Itachi chuckles and prepares to watch the fireworks.

"I'm just saying that I'm flexible. Variety can really spice up the bedroom." The blonde continues and Suki lunges at him.

"Not this time. You surprised me the first time, but it won't happen again." Naruto says, catching her hand.

"Oh really?" Suki asks.

"Really." Naruto says with a nod and blinks when Suki knees him in the stomach, forcing the blonde to fall to the ground, clutching it in pain.

"You were saying?" She asks smugly.

"That's it!" He says and pulls her down onto the carpet, pinning her underneath him.

"Get off of me." Suki snarls at him like a tigress.

"Not until you hear what I have to say." The blonde says firmly and somehow Suki managed to flip them.

Itachi watches and blinks. Soon enough the two of them were rolling around. It was a tangle and blur of limbs. Most of the time the elder Uchiha couldn't tell who had pinned who. Judging by the strange mixture of laughter, taunts, and growls though, he didn't need to step in. They were MOSTLY play fighting. Granted they were playing rather roughly, but they didn't seem to be seriously trying to harm each other.

Finally, Naruto manages to pin Suki down firmly. God she was a wildcat. The blonde pants and looks down at her. Her hair was splayed out all along the carpet, eyes ruby red, and face had turned a rosy shade of pink from their "battle." She was panting and trying to catch his breath, just as much as he was.

"God, you're beautiful." He whispers into her ear, so only she could hear it.

Suki felt herself blush. She wasn't a shy person by any means. You couldn't be shy and sing in front of tens of people on a regular basis. But there was something about the way he said it and the way his eyes looked at her almost reverently that made those relatively innocent words sound so…seductive.

"Thank you. Now get off of me." She mumbles, squirming against him.

That just made things more awkward. Naruto was enjoying the feeling of her underneath him and now that she was moving, it just made them line up even better. He could feel her breasts against his chest and her legs against his. He was getting way too excited by this. She was bound to notice soon. But he didn't want to move and break the moment.

"Only if you promise to let me help you." He says.

Suki nodded. She knew that it was a dumb idea to agree to that. But he was just so damn stubborn. That and she could feel how strong he was. She had trained in martial arts most of her life. It was a very rare person who could actually pin her down like this. Naruto was like a mountain at the moment. She wasn't going to be able to move him.

"Good." He says and reluctantly gets off her, offering Suki his hand to help her up.

She takes it. The brunette blushes when she sees his sapphire blue eyes staring at her so intensely. She felt his arm wrap around her waist to steady her, as she was pulled up.

"Well perhaps I should leave you two alone." Itachi muses.

"ITACHI!" Suki cries out in embarrassment.

"It's fine, Suki. You are a grown woman. Besides, I like him. He can actually keep up with you. Really, Naruto. You're stamina is quite impressive and you are even more stubborn than she is." Itachi muses with a chuckle.

"Um thanks." Naruto replies and rubs the back of his head sheepishly as Itachi heads upstairs.

"So…I guess that about covers it. I'll see you at rehearsal." Suki says.

She couldn't believe she had just done that. Suki had just rolled around with him like that in front of Itachi. Talk about embarrassing.

Truly it was disturbing how little control she had around him. The way she responded to his touch. It wasn't safe to feel this way right now. If Naruto was smart, he'd avoid her like the plague. But it looked like he was choosing not to be smart right now.

"Do you really want me to go?" He asks.

"No. But you should. It's not smart for you to stay here too long. The press already thinks we are together. I don't know if he's following me or not. The first time, I doubt he knew Itachi was back in the city. He might now though." She says.

At first, her answer angered Naruto. It pissed him off that Orochimaru had so much control over her actions. Then he felt happy. In her own way, her answer showed that she did care about him. Suki probably thought she was protecting Naruto in some way. And then, he just felt incredibly sad. He wondered how many other times she had altered her behavior to protect other from this freak. And he was back to anger again. Damn Orochimaru to Hell.

"Forget about Orochimaru. Pretend he doesn't exist. Do you want me to go?" He asks.

"Forget about Orochimaru. Pretend that he doesn't exist. Do you want me to go?" His words echoed in her head. If only it was that easy. God, she wished she had never met the Sannin.

She bites her lower lip at the next part. Suki should say yes. It would be for his own safety. But she couldn't lie. He'd know.

"No. If he didn't exist, I wouldn't want you to go. But he does. So be smart and get out of here. I don't want anything to happen to y-" Suki starts to reply but is cut off by the feeling of Naruto's lips against hers.

She gasps in shock and that was all the opportunity that Naruto needed. He pushes her against the wall and deepens the kiss. His tongue dancing along hers in a sensual seduction. One that she couldn't ignore.

She heard herself moan into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck instinctively. Oranges and honey, she decided. That is what he tasted like. Sweet, pure, and fresh. She normally despised sweets, but the honey was surprisingly addicting.

"I want you to forget about him. Just for awhile." Naruto murmurs between kisses.

Chocolate covered cherries. Dark, luxurious, and exotic. The blonde notes that's what her mouth tasted like. He groans into the kiss when he felt her begin to kiss back.

Their tongues engaged in a carnal battle for dominance. Suki kissed like she fought, with everything he had. Naruto realized that she didn't do anything halfway.

Suki breaks the kiss. She looks at him with ruby red eyes that were clouded in desire and through those long lashes. Naruto had never seen a more erotic sight in his life. As far as he was concerned, she might as well have had a sign on her that said, Take Me.

"I wish it was that simple. I mean it, Naruto. I don't want you to get hurt. Orochimaru has some very dangerous people who work for him." She says and looks away, sadly.

"Remember when you said that I was pretending to be Superman?" He asks.

"Yeah. What about it?" Suki asks.

"Well you can stop trying to be Wonderwoman. I don't need protection from him. Forget about him, just for tonight. I'll help you if you let me. " He says and his eyes shine with sincerity.

"Itachi is right. You are more stubborn than me. Alright. Just for tonight and we'll see what happens in the morning." She says and lays her head on his shoulder.

"Good." He says and wraps his arms around her and Suki smiles.

"You're so warm." She murmurs.

"That a good thing?" The blonde asks the other lead singer.

"It's a very good thing." Suki says and leans into his hold, wishing that the moment would last.

Naruto smiles and caresses her cheek. He holds her more tightly. She was so soft and tiny in his arms.

"It's kinda crazy." He murmurs.

"What is?" Suki asks.

"I've only known you two days but it feels like I've known you my whole life." He answers.

"Mmm Naruto that is the most cliché pickup line that I have ever heard. It's sweet, but it is really cheesy." She says with a smile.

"It's not a pickup line. I mean it." He protests and Suki places a finger against his lips, shushing him.

"I know. I was just teasing. You're…cute when you get flustered." The singer admits.

"Oh. Good. It's good to see you relaxing. How about we watch some tv?" He says and gestures to the couch in the living room that had a big screen tv in front of it.

"Alright. You can pick the channel. I don't really care." She says and sits on the couch.

Naruto flicks it to the comedy channel. He figured Suki could use some laughs. He gets behind her and starts rubbing her shoulders. A massage might do wonders.

"Naruto?" She asks.

"Shit! You're tense. Your muscles are so tightly wound. That's gotta be painful. You really could use a massage." He observes.

"Well if it's just my shoulders, I guess it's okay." She says and turns her attention back to the tv screen.

Naruto smiles and rubs her shoulders more. He smirks when he hears her sigh in pleasure and moan, leaning back into him. The physical chemistry was electric. It was like they were magnets and just couldn't resist each other's pull, he thought.

"That feels so good." She mumbles.

"Good. Just relax." He says and places a soft kiss along her collarbone and continues the massage.

His hands were large, warm, and so gentle. She felt her heart skipping a beat here and there. It felt almost painfully good. But each time, she wanted the feel to return and it always did just a short time later.

"If you ever retire from music, you could always become a massage therapist." She suggests.

"I'll keep that in mind." He says with a chuckle and growing bolder he kisses her neck more, nipping lightly.

"Nhh!" Suki moans and squirms when she felt his lightly graze her throat and the feeling of his mouth against her.

Naruto smirks. He hadn't expected THAT much of a reaction. Oh yeah, her neck was definitely one of her spots. It also looked like she liked being bitten or at least nipped.

She turns around once he let go and kisses him hotly. He could feel her yank him by the hair to pull him down to her. He didn't mind though. Her roughness was arousing by itself. She wanted him, almost as badly as he wanted her it seemed. He was all too happy to return her kiss.

"Sorry. My n-eck has always been really sensitive." She whispers, breaking the kiss.

"Oh you definitely don't have to be sorry. Good to know." He tells her.

"I just…don't want to lead you on." She says.

"What do you mean?" Naruto frowns, not liking the direction the conversation was starting to go in.

"I like you. I like you a lot more than I should really. But I don't sleep with a guy on the first date and this doesn't even really count as a date." She says.

"Ohhh." Naruto says.

Yeah, that was frustrating. But at least she wasn't rejecting him completely. It was nice that she was giving him a warning now. Naruto definitely would have liked to take things a lot further physically, but he wasn't going to push it.

The woman already had a stalker. It was a miracle that she was being as affectionate as she was. Besides, she was right. He was the type to sleep around either. But fuck he was going to need a cold shower.

"Sorry." She says.

"No. It's fine. I mean…I completely get it. So just kissing and necking for now? That's fine. Those are fucking amazing already and if you want to go further, just let me know." He tells her.

She nods. Suki figured it probably wasn't a good idea to tell him that she did want to go further. But it wasn't a good idea. First of all, she didn't want him to think that she was that easy. Secondly, there was still Orochimaru to consider.

"What about spanking?" He asks.

"What?!" Suki asks in disbelief.

"You are being bad. You deserve one. We agreed no more Orochimaru for tonight and you were thinking about him. Your expression got all serious." He says.

"You are out of your mind if you think you are spanking me and you aren't some mind reader!" She protests.

"So are you going to sit there and tell me that you weren't thinking about him?" The blonde demands.

"Alright. Maybe I was a little." She admits.

"I knew it. Shit. He's really gotten under your skin. You shouldn't have to live like this, Suki." He tells her.

"No one should. But it's just a fact of life right now." She replies.

"So is it really the not on the first date rule or about him?" He questions her.

"A little of both…" The brunette answers honestly.

"Suki, you don't have to be afraid. You have Itachi and me, right here. You're safe." He tells her.

"That's sweet, Naruto. It really is. But it's not my safety that I'm worried about right now." The other singer informs him.

"Don't worry about me. I'm a black belt in karate." He reminds her.

"That is impressive. But that's not going to stop a bullet." She says.

"If you really think that it's at that level, you should go to the police." He tells her.

"No. I can't. Can we go back to kissing? That was a lot more fun than this conversation." She says.

"Yeah it was. But I mean it. I know you won't though. But I won't let anything happen to you or me." He says and kisses her again.

She smiles and kisses back. The rest of the night passed quickly. More kisses and caresses were exchanged. Somewhere along the way, they fell asleep.

Naruto smiles when the Sun's early morning light came through the window. He woke up before Suki. She looked so beautiful when she was asleep. The brunette was curled up into him so sweetly. He was relieved to see how relaxed she looked.

"I want to wake up every morning, just like this." He murmurs and brushes the bangs out of her eyes.

He knew that it should terrify him. Naruto was falling hard and fast. Way too fast. He had always believed in love at first sight in theory. But in practice, it had never happened. Maybe he was just deluding himself and it already had. At that moment, everything was perfect though.

So naturally something had to ruin it. He saw something black dart past the window out of the corner of his eye. Naruto goes to investigate.

Shit! It was Orochimaru. His eyes widen and he races back to Suki, picking her up and rushing her up the stairs. He had to get her away from windows. Who knew if that freak was packing heat?

"Nn-aruto? What the Hell?" Suki murmurs sleepily, as she feels herself being picked up and raced up the stairs.

"It's Orochimaru. I saw him outside the house. I had to get you away from the windows." Naruto explains in a rush and that wakes Suki up fast.

"W-hat? He's here?" She asks.

"He was. I don't know if he still is. ITACHI!" Naruto calls out.

"What is it?" Itachi asks, racing towards the sound of Naruto's yell, not sure what was going on.

"Call the cops. I saw Orochimaru outside the window downstairs, in the living room. I don't know if he's still there." He says.

"I'm sorry Suki. But we really have no choice at this point." Itachi says and he quickly does exactly that.

"Hello, I need a police car here as soon as possible. We had someone looking in one of our windows. We are afraid he might be armed." Itachi states.

"Naruto, I'm so sorry." Suki says.

"Suki, you have nothing to be sorry about. This isn't your fault. It's his and when I get my hands on that fucking creep…" Naruto growls.

"They are sending someone over. They say they'll be here in about five minutes. Until then we are to lock the doors and stay away from any windows." Itachi explains.

"Got it." Naruto says with a nod.

Suki sighs. There would be no going back now. They had called the police. They would want a description. All Hell was about to break lose.

Naruto seemed to sense her anxiety. He wraps his arms around her. She leans into his hold.

"It's going to be okay. Don't worry." He tells her.

"I hope so." She mumbles and lays her head on his shoulder, allowing herself to be enveloped completely in his arms.
