Just Dance
Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. Sorry this one is a bit late. I got sidetracked by some other stories and was battling writer's block on this one. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter Six
Suki sighs in the bathroom after rinsing her mouth out with mouthwash and water for what seemed like the thousandth time. She still didn't feel clean. That snake had fucking kissed her and called Naruto a plaything. She had never been more pissed off in her entire life.
"Suki?" Naruto asks from behind the door.
"I'm coming out." She mutters and walks out of the bathroom.
She couldn't look him in the eye right now. Suki had been so pathetic. The brunette should have killed that sick son of a bitch.
Instead of protecting herself, Gaara had saved her ass. It was embarrassing. Now Naruto was going to be even more protective than usual and the lovable blonde might end up getting himself killed. She couldn't let that happen.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks softly and caresses her cheek.
"No. Not right now. Later. I can't right now." She whispers and Naruto nods, pulling her into his arms.
"Alright. We don't have to talk about it today. You're safe now. That's what matters." He whispers in her ear and Suki nods.
He felt her cuddled up against him. It was as if she was trying to burrow into Naruto. Shit. She must be terrified out of her mind. Who wouldn't be with a creep like that stalking them?
"Is there anything I can do to help you feel better?" The blonde asks her gently.
"Don't let go and kiss me. I forget everything else when you do that." She confesses and looks up at him.
"Right. I'm going to go now. I sense this is about to get extremely awkward for me." Gaara says as he heads towards the door.
"Shit! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ignore you, Gaara." The blue eyed singer says.
"It's alright. She needs you now more than I do. I'll see you later. Suki, I'm glad you are okay. Stay safe. I know Orochimaru's kind. He won't give up until he's put down like the dog he is or put behind bars. And I don't mean any offense towards actual canines." The red head mutters as he slips out of the door.
"He definitely has a way with words." Suki muses and Naruto nods.
"Yeah, that's Gaara for you. Now where were we?" He asks his the woman in his arms.
"You were about to kiss me and make me forget everything for awhile." She reminds him.
"Oh yeah. Right." Naruto says with a smile and brushes his lips against hers.
Suki smiles and kisses back. She meant it when she said his kiss made her forget everything else. The normally articulate woman knew that she'd never be able to fully explain how he made her feel by doing something as completely innocent as touching her lips with his.
Well perhaps not completely innocent, she thought dryly. She could feel his hands starting to roam. She moans into the kiss and runs her fingers through his spiky golden locks.
The brunette saw no reason to protest him getting a little grabby. It felt nice. Somehow Naruto could grab her ass and make her feel wanted, instead of irritated or dirty.
"Mmm." She sighs softly in pleasure and breaks the kiss, feeling Naruto wrap his arms around her more tightly.
Naruto wanted to tell her that everything would be okay. But that would just remind her of what happened. So he went with the next best thing. He decided to distract her further.
"So what were you saying about that seafood place?" He asks.
"They have really great food." She says with a smile.
"Do you need reservations?" The blonde asks curiously as he gently strokes her back, causing her to purr.
Suki could actually purr. Naruto had never heard anyone do it before. The blonde would swore she could purr just like a cat. It was strange, but incredibly cute or sexy as Hell. It just depended on the mood.
"Usually you do. But as famous as we both are and with all the rumors circulating in the press, I imagine they'll let us in anyway." She says with a smirk.
"Oh that's just abusing your fame." Naruto chides her gently.
"I prefer to think of it as taking advantages of one of the many perks that being in the limelight can provide us." The brunette replies smugly.
"Oh yes. Well let's go take advantage of that perk then." He says and walks to his car with her.
Suki smiles. She laces her hand with Naruto. It was amazing how he could make her feel as if everything was normal. The brunette could almost pretend that Orochimaru wasn't stalking her. But she knew the truth. Reality would rear its ugly head sooner or later. Still for now at least, she was content just to enjoy the moment.
"You're thinking really loudly." Naruto says once they get into the car and Suki raises an eyebrow at that very odd statement.
"I can tell you are thinking about him. It's written all over face. I won't let him hurt you. The police are checking his ass out. Soon that bastard will be in jail, where he belongs." Naruto promises and leans over to help her buckle her seatbelt, while stealing a kiss.
Suki smiles and returns the kiss. She wish she could be as confident as Naruto was. But she just couldn't. Orochimaru had been doing this on and off for years. She doubted the police would arrest him and even if they did, he could afford the best lawyers. He'd either get off scoff free or with a slap on the wrist.
"I hope so." She murmurs after the kiss.
"I know so. Trust me. That creep is due for a visit from the Karma Fairy." He tells her.
Despite the situation, Suki found herself laughing. Karma Fairy? Did he really just say that?
"Okay, fine. What would you call it?" Naruto as he starts driving them off to the restaurant.
"I would have dropped the fairy and just stuck with karma." She answers and looks out the windows, enjoying seeing the street pass them by.
"Yeah. I guess so. You are all dignified and stuff. You should learn to have some fun once in awhile." Naruto decrees.
"Mmm I suppose that is what I have you for." She offers him a smile and soon they arrive at the seafood place.
Naruto gets out of the car first. He opens the door for Suki. The brunette gets out. Instantly, they are blinded by flashes from various cameras. Two of the biggest stars in music had just shown up and everyone wanted a picture.
"Yeah, probably should have seen that one coming." Naruto mutters, putting on a pair of sunglasses, and giving Suki one.
"Probably." She agrees and they head inside.
"I know we don't have a reservation. But Suki really likes your food. She's been having a rough couple of days. Would you mind cutting us some slack?" The blonde asks one of the waiters who was in charge of seating people.
The waiter was clearly starstruck. He nods and leads them to a private booth. The man hands them a menu and quickly grabs a couple napkins, asking for autographs.
"Sure, who do I make it out to?" Naruto asks cheerfully.
"Jina, please. My daughter is such a big fan of the both of you. She is going to be over the Moon!" He says.
"Yeah. Sure. No problem." Naruto says and Suki signs a similar napkin for the man, who quickly takes their orders, and dashes off.
"I told you, fame has its perks." Suki says with a smile and places her hand on top of Naruto's.
The blonde couldn't help but agree. If he hadn't been a famous singer, odds are he never would have met the Uchiha. At best, he probably would have been like the waiter and maybe gotten an autograph.
"This place really is nice." Naruto says.
"Mhm." Suki replies and glances around.
The atmosphere was very romantic with soft music playing in the background. Every table had a white cloth, a red rose in the middle, and one light scented candle. A complimentary bottle of champagne and two glasses were also there. Clearly, this restaurant was marketed towards couples enjoying a romantic dinner.
"I'm sure their shrimp will be great. Though not nearly as sexy as you." He says with a teasing smile.
"You are seriously not sticking with that, are you? I am not a shrimp!" She growls.
"A sexy shrimp. You're so little. But like I said before, I like it. Just means I can wrap my arms around you easily and pick you up. Maybe push you against a wall or bend you over something…" He trails off and Suki blushes.
"When did you become such a pervert?" She mutters and tries to hide her blush by pouring herself a glass of champagne and sipping on it.
"About the same time that I started sleeping with you." He answers.
Suki gives him a dirty look. Naruto knew exactly what she was saying by it. She wanted him to lower his voice. If anyone over heard him say he was sleeping with her, the press was going to have a field day.
"Naruto." She says warningly.
"I know I'm making it sound dirtier than it was." He says in a whisper and she nods.
Their food was soon brought to them. Suki had her lobster and Naruto had his shrimp. She smiles, happy that he was eating something besides ramen. Other than the strawberries they had the other day, she was convinced that he practically lived on ramen.
Ramen was fine. But it wasn't the most healthy food. She really had to work on improving his diet, she mused.
"Gaara's pretty handy with a gun." She comments.
"Yeah. He kinda has to be. He used to be a cop. So he's trained and everything." The blue eyed singer replies.
"That does explain a lot. That's a new one, from cop to musician. He certainly is an enigma." The brunette observes.
Naruto nods. Gaara was hard to figure out sometimes. But you would never find a more loyal friend. He was really to have him as a band mate. The blonde knew that the red head would always have his back, through thick and thin. No matter what.
"So I know you started really young, but did you always want to be a singer?" Naruto asks.
"No. Honestly, I just entered the talent show because I wanted to get my father's attention. It worked." Suki says.
"Your father has to be an idiot, if you had to go out of your way like that to get his attention. What was he like a workaholic or something?" Her date asks.
"Mmm I don't think daddy issues are a good topic for a first date." She muses and bites into her meal.
"Oh come on. You can't scare me off. I know how good a kisser you are. It's going to take a lot more than daddy issues to frighten me away." He says with a smile.
Suki sighs. She really wasn't sure how to explain her relationship with her father. Fugaku Uchiha was a good man. But he was a very traditional one. He was detached from his children in a way that would have been more befitting of her great grandfather's era, than his.
"Yes, he's always been very focused on his career. Itachi was the son he wanted. I wasn't planned. I was the afterthought. He never abused me. My father just…didn't notice me much before that talent show." She says with a shrug.
"Well it's a good thing he didn't abuse you. Otherwise, I would have to kick his ass. Still that sucks." Naruto says.
"It could have been worse. What about you?" She asks.
"My parents died when I was a baby. I was raised by my Godfather and Granny Tsunade." Naruto says.
Her eyes widen. Shit! She hadn't realized his parents were dead. Now she felt awful.
"I'm so sorry about your parents." She murmurs.
"It's alright. It was a long time ago. They were killed instantly, so at least they didn't suffer." He says.
"Still I really am sorry to hear that." The singer replies and holds his hand tighter as a gesture of solidarity.
"It's not your fault. But I got lucky. Pervy Sage and Granny Tsunade are the best." He tells her.
Suki tilts her head. Tsunade was his grandmother? Well they were both blondes. Maybe they actually were biologically related.
"Is she really your grandmother?" The brunette inquires.
"Oh no. I just call her that. It makes her feel old. Which pisses her off and it's hilarious." Her date replies, grinning from ear to ear at his own "cleverness."
"Mmm that does sound like something you would do. What about you? Did you always want to be a musician?" She asks.
"Oh yeah. Pretty much as far back as I can remember. I was a really hyper kid. Music was really the only place where I could really let loose and not have adults be annoyed at it." He answers her.
"Yeah, you do have an almost inhuman amount of energy. It's a little freaky actually. But I'm sure we can put it to good use." She tells him with a sly smile and places her hand on his knee.
"WAITOR, CHECK PLEASE!" Naruto says.
They pay for their meal and drive back to the hotel. Naruto shuts the door behind them, but forgets to lock it. Suki had given him something of a green light and he was so going to take advantage of it.
He pushes the sultry brunette against the wall and kisses her passionately. Suki wraps her legs around his waist and moans into the kiss. God, she was beautiful and he loved the sounds she would make when he touched her. The feeling of her scent surrounding him and her body so close to his was driving him inside.
"Mmm it doesn't take much to get you going." She muses between heated kisses.
"Just taking advantage of your generous offer to help me burn off some energy." He growls at her and Suki shivers at the primal sound of it.
Suddenly, she felt a bit like a lamb that had been cornered by a very hungry wolf. And this excited her. None of her other boyfriends had ever dared to be this, aggressive with her. Naruto didn't mind pushing her against a wall and taking what he wanted.
"Happy to help." She murmurs and nibbles on his ear.
Naruto places butterfly kisses along her throat. He hears Suki sigh softly in pleasure. Smirking, he decides to suck and nip at the sensitive flesh. The result was almost immediate. Suki moaned loudly and grinds against him desperately.
"Moan for me again. I love it when you moan." He tells her and bites down lightly, drawing another moan from an increasingly excited Suki.
Meanwhile Itachi heads to the hotel that he knew his sister was staying at. He was growing increasingly worried about her. They had finally reported Orochimaru to the police. There was no telling what that snake would do.
He stopped by Suki's favorite fast food place on the way there. Maybe she'd be more forgiving towards his meddling, if he buttered her up with food. He heads to her room and opens the door. It wasn't locked.
"Well…I see that I'm going to have to have a talk with Naruto at this rate. That is my baby sister you are seducing." He observes with amusement.
"Itachi!" Suki shrieks and blushes scarlet, hiding her face in Naruto's neck.
"Oh um hey, Itachi." Naruto says awkwardly.
"I brought dinner. Though it seems the two of you are hungry for something else besides food." He couldn't resist teasing them.
Meanwhile Orochimaru sighs, once he was back at the university. He touches his lips. He could still taste her. It was unfortunate that some red head had stepped in and had a gun.
While he certainly enjoyed kissing her and it surpassed even his wildest expectations, he wasn't willing to die over it. So he had left. He wondered who the red head was so he did some digging.
"A member of Rasengan, it seems. Likely her plaything asked him to follow her around. The Rasengan is becoming quite the nuisance. I'll have to put an end to it." He muses and suddenly, he gets a phone call.
"Hello?" He says in to the phone.
"Orochimaru, please come down to the police station immediately. A charge has been filed against you. You are being charged with stalking and harassment." An officer informs him on the other line.
"This surely has to be a misunderstanding. I shall be there in a few moments." The Sannin replies smoothly and heads off to the police station.
This was incredibly inconvenient. But he was fabulously wealthy. People such as Orochimaru knew how to make the law work in their favor. He was positive that he would be able to get out of this with ease.
It was a bit insulting really. Suki actually thought that he couldn't outsmart the police? Tsk. Tsk. And she normally was such a bright girl. The beautiful singer really should know better than that.
"I am certain this is merely some kind of mistake, officers. I will cooperate with you in any way that I can." He assures them.
"A woman and two men claim you have been stalking a woman. Her name is Suki Uchiha and if you come near her while you are under investigation, you will be arrested. We need to get to the bottom of this. I do hope as you said it is merely a mistake. Still there is proper protocol that we must observe. I do hope you understand? I have been a fan of yours since I was knee high to a grasshopper!" The officer replies.
Orochimaru nods. He would just hire a team of fancy lawyers. He was fully confident that he would get off. It didn't matter what evidence Suki had. Money always did the real talking.
Suki was well off now. She was rich by almost anyone's standards. But she was nowhere near his level of wealth. He was confident in his ability to beat the system. He had done it before.
A short while later, Gaara receives a call. The red head picks up the phone. He mutters his obligatory hello and asks who was calling.
"Gaara, it's me. We brought Orochimaru in today. He knows he's being charged. We told him to stay away from Suki while the investigation was going on." An different officer says.
"That's wonderful news. I'm sure she'll be so relieved to hear that. Though I worry. He might lash out." Gaara mutters.
"More than likely. That's why we suggest that she get some mace or possibly a gun for self-defense, just in casse." He warns him.
"I'll let her know the news. Thank you for calling me." The musician replies.
"We are just about to call her. It's mandatory to let her know after all. But we wanted to keep you in the loop. This may turn out to be a very bumpy ride. Good night, my friend." He tells him.
"Good night and thank you." The red head says and hangs up the phone.
Meanwhile, Tsunade was visiting Jirayia. She could tell by the look on his face that something was troubling him. She had known the man since she was a small child. It was easy to tell when something was wrong.
"Spill it. Don't leave anything out." She orders him.
"Always straight to the point, eh Tsunade?" He says with a rueful smile.
"Always. You know me. I don't fool around. What is it that has you all serious?" The busty blonde demands.
"It's Naruto." He answers.
"What about Naruto? Is he okay? Is he hurt?" She asks suddenly worried sick.
"He's okay, for now. I don't think he's hurt. You know how Rasengan and Chidori are going to perform together at the music awards this year?" He asks.
"Yes. So? I don't see what that has to do with anything." She murmurs.
"The lead singer of Chidori has a stalker." He says.
"Ohhh. Poor thing. Well unfortunately, it happens. It happens a lot more often than most people might think actually. Is she alright?" The woman asks.
"She's pretty shaken up. Got a letter from he stalker. Looks like he got pictures of her in the shower. Naruto's taken a liking to her. The press obviously thinks they are together. I'm afraid it might set her stalker off." He says with a heavy sigh.
"And Naruto is worried about her?" His friend asks.
"Yeah, kid is pretty livid. I can't blame him. It's truly twisted what this stalker is doing to her. Sending her photos and letters like that. He's falling hard and fast though. I hope he doesn't do something stupid. I really hope Naruto just lets the police handle it. But…" Jirayia trails off.
"He's Naruto. Patience and restraint has never really been his thing. So you think he likes Suki then?" The singer inquires.
"I thin he's got a major case of puppy love. It might even be more serious than that. It's hard to tell. They only met each other when our bands started practicing together." He says.
"Well it might be good for him to get involved with another musician. She'd understand his tour schedule and know how to deal with groupies at least. Still you are right to be worried. Do you have any idea who this stalker is?" She questions him.
"I don't. But she might have told Naruto by now. They are growing pretty close." He says.
"Well we should ask the brat. Maybe he'll tell us. Situations like this tend to get out of hand and fast. I don't want anything to happen to him." Tsunade states.
"Me neither." Jirayia agrees.
Tsunade pours them both a strong glass of sake. They were going to need it. One should never deal with such a distressing situation sober. But they were Sannin, they would find a way to deal with it.
