The covered wagon that Karin apparently possessed was quite comfortable, luxurious even! At least compared to what the trip up here had been. Like a tent, the way the furs were built up above the rather spacious interior, enough to be almost warm if he kept his cloak on. The seats were even padded and soft on the ass!

None of this was enough to make his raven smile. How he couldn't say, but she knew; she knew what he'd done with Karin and was furious about it! The way she'd stared at him all through his nervous explanation about the necromancer's interest in joining up with the fangfolk. She glared at him from the moment they sat in this wagon until the moment Karin joined them, moments after she got her undead moving.

It was then she turned to glare at their new companion.

"This is quite a ride you have here," she complimented sharply.

"Thank you," she replied, unphased. "It was a treasure taken from an orc chieftan I killed just two years ago,"

"You appear to do well up here," Sasuki began loudly. "It seems odd you'd abandon this fortress,"

"Well, if this delivery had failed, and it wouldn't be the first one, I'd have to subsist on foraging in the winter. It would delay my research substantially. Besides, an endless and free well of corpses to experiment on is quite a boon. Not to mention having a healer within a stones toss in case of special experiments or other… medically urgent situations,"

"Then why travel so far from civilization in the first place?" Sasuki grilled further.

Karin stared for a few seconds before answering.

"I was born quite near here, actually, if you couldn't deduce as much," she said, pointing at her tusks.

"Fine. Then why not travel south sooner, when you got this nice cart, for example?"

"You're aware I don't need your permission to travel to Ironhold, yes?" she asked, finally losing her smile. "I certainly don't have to travel with you. It was my expectation you'd appreciate the extra security given what happened on your way up,"

"The covered wagon is a pretty nice perk too," Naruto dared add, pleading with his eyes when Sasuki glanced back at him. "Come on Sasuki, stop pushing her, please?"

"What are you two friends now after your kidnapping?" she demanded.

"Well, that's not the term I would use," Karin said casually. "Though I've grown some fondness for him," she only smiled warmly with the remark, lingering her gaze just a little too long on the father of her unborn child. She cut Sasuki off just as her mouth opened. "That upsets you? Is he your husband?"

"No!"

"Fiance then?"

"H-he's not- we're not-"

"-oh just a dear friend, then? How heartwarming that you two care so much about each other," Karins grin was back, looking at the flustered, reddening face of his increasingly frustrated raven. "He mentioned how adverse he was to leaving you. I had floated the offer of him staying up here with me, and he barely considered it. He said you needed him,"

That sobered Sasuki a bit.

Her brow relaxed, and the red blush began to lighten to that soft pink flush he so rarely earned. More importantly, she stopped her questioning. Karin looked quite pleased with herself, sharing a coy look with him before burying her nose in a book. It was unsolicited an hour later when she offered Sasuki to help herself to the small library piled beside her, but one that the princess accepted with a mumbled thanks.

Naruto quickly found himself bored and envious, watching them so engrossed in their little paper squares with little to do himself. Of course, both of those emotions were better than the powerful anxiety and terror that had dominated his mind when they conversed. Was there anything so nerve-wracking as sitting in a cramped space watching two women you'd fucked talk? It certainly didn't help that either could easily kill him if they wanted.

Karin had only brought her skeletons, but that was still ten blades and eight more then he had a farts chance of fighting. They were draped in thick cloaks that fully covered them like humans, though they pulled both carts like animals. The chorus of their footsteps crunching along the path was decent white noise to doze to, at least.

He spent damn near the whole journey napping.

He needed his energy for the nights anway. Those were magnitutes more exciting. Karin said nothing of him bunking with his old companions in Sakura's tent, although she did extend the offer for the two of them to sleep in the wagon as she did. They'd declined on the grounds that Sakura was probably starved for company. All day she'd been walking outside with only the skeletons; granted, the cold didn't bother her nearly as much as them, but it was still unfortunate for the poor woman.

In any case, the giant didn't mind them sleeping with her in the oversized tent, although as usual, the bulk of her affections were aimed at Sasuki. Just about the moment they got out of their clothes on the first evening she clasped both hands over the black-haired woman. Gripping her softly on the ribs and even showing a reverant smile as she spoke.

"Are you feeling better now, mighty warleader? Now that this mess is all settled?" from her spot sitting down, she was only a little taller, much bulkier, but Sasuki still pushed her hands off without any effort.

"…yes, I suppose," she sucked in a breath. "Sakura could you please roll over on your side tonight? I'd… I would really like to sleep with Naruto,"

The giant narrowed her eyes, filled with resentment and envy and making little effort to hide any of it when she flicked her eyes to the man in question. Naruto almost thought to object. Then she said that same, oh-so-familiar phrase.

"As you wish, mighty warleader," no sooner was her piercing emerald gaze off him, then Sasuki's eyes bounced to him. A pang of panic shot through him. Even with her eyes soft and on the verge of watering, it surprised him when she leaned in for a kiss. A soft one, just an innocent peck that gave him chance to enjoy her warm lips.

"I just couldn't shake the fear of what she was doing to you, what mangled state you'd be in when we returned," she admitted in a whisper. Putting her head to his chest as her dear friend digested the words. "I'm so happy you're back,"

Not knowing what to say, he simply held her, for a long while. A quarter hour at least they stood there together, hugging as he stroked her back and she softly wept. He wasn't trying to start anything when he squeezed her in a little tighter.

Sasuki hiccuped, as if startled by it, then lifted her head up to look into his face with those big, deep, ink-black pools.

Neither were sure who leaned in first.

Naruto dominated it quickly, her melting into his strong embrace and enthusiastic push closer to her. The way he slowly poked and licked about deep in her mouth was just brain-melting. It felt so wonderfully relaxing to go deadweight like this in his arms. To just let go, to surrender to his affectionate domination.

Naruto was just trying to earn more of those deliciously soft squeaks that she released every so often. That would be the reason he gently squeezed her ass, delighting in the way her legs began to give out from under her as he kneeded the soft flesh there. He held her limp form for a few more seconds, leaning down to kiss her neck as he got her down to her back.

Of course, the minute he did, the real kiss resumed. This time he pecked about the outside, never holding a single touch for more than a couple seconds, loving the sound of their smack together and wanting to ease up a bit on that front as his free hand crawled up under her shirt. By the speed of her breathing she was still getting more heated, not less.

She was so heated, in fact, that after only a couple minutes of fondling her breast, she started whining.

"C-come on Naruto," she mumbled, when her lips were left free long enough to get a word in. "P-put it in,"

Despite the request, she seemed to go from rattled to panicked as he slid their bottoms off, only calming down the slightest bit as he lay back on top of her. Though with his throbbing, hard cock resting against the outside of her pussy lips, that was understandable. It was so hard not to snicker. It just made him feel so powerful to be able to stir up a woman like her, someone so cool and collected and extraordinary.

Sasuki was happy enough to let her mind blank yet further as his cock filled her.

It was the only way to quiet that little voice that was certain he was going to stab her any second. He had the power to, after all. Her guard couldn't be much lower; she had no armor and no sight of his hands. He could kill her. There had been zero indication that he would ever do something so horrible, least of all to her; he'd shown her nothing but love and support.

Just like her brother.

Naruto could kill her.

Naruto snickered, staring into the dead, blank eyes of his lover; the way she sometimes disassociated during their rutting always stroked his ego. Being able to literally fuck her brain blank. Listening to the soft gurgling and groaning sounds that would certainly leave her so humiliated if he ever imitated or reminded her of them.

She drove him so wild with so little.

It was no wonder how quickly he surrendered at her first orgasm, groaning deeply and devouring her mouth as he poured his cum into her snatch just as it tightened down on him!

Gods it was good to be back.
