I woke up to the feeling of a fingertip tracing the edge of my lip. My eyes fluttered open to meet one dark, and the other, the Rinnegan, was mostly concealed by hair and the plushness of the pillow. I lost my breath with how beautiful he looked at that moment.
"It's ten," he told me softly. "Checkout is at eleven. We should be gone before then so that they don't know I'm in the room." I yawned, turning my head into the pillow. My body was heavy as half of Naruto was still on me, his arm and one leg wrapped around me possessively. I thought he might be drooling on my hair.
"That's like a whole hour from now..." I said. I kind of wanted to hump myself against Sasuke-kun's thigh until I fell asleep again, but it was too embarrassing for me to even attempt.
"I didn't know how long it would take you to get ready."
Normally I would be thinking like Sasuke-kun, and want to be up and ready as soon as possible, but... Sasuke-kun was lying naked in front of me. I laid a hand on the center of his chest, listening to his heart. I smiled at the proof of his existence.
Naruto squeezed me harder with every move I made.
"Naruto's not going to get out of bed easily," Sasuke-kun commented.
"No..." Naruto groaned. "No fucking without me again..." He pulled me away from Sasuke-kun.
"We weren't," Sasuke-kun replied flatly.
"Why not?" Naruto humped his stiffness against my ass. "You just said we had a whole hour." I was impressed that Naruto had been awake to hear that. "Besides, Sakura-chan hasn't had a turn to be in the middle yet."
"W-what?" I blushed, closing my legs together and now suddenly fearful with the way Naruto was rubbing himself on me. "I'm not sure if-"
"Fine, then another hour of sleep," Naruto heaved and I felt him relax his body around me.
Three seconds went by before Sasuke-kun said, "I'm getting up."
"Wait!" I said, my hands desperate to keep Sasuke-kun near. "I want to be touched. Touch me." I expected Sasuke-kun to say something along the lines of to ask Naruto, for why should he be bothered? But he sunk back into the bed, calloused hand moving over to my hip. "N-Naruto too. I want to try being in the middle."
Naruto's arm squeezed me as he laughed. "You're cute, Sakura-chan."
"Shut up, Naruto! Get on with it or I'll change my mind!"
"Ahh..." Naruto paused, not expecting this reaction. "Um, there's like some," he swallowed, "lotion I think in the bathroom."
"Go get it then." Naruto rocketed himself over both me and Sasuke-kun so fast that I gave a small shout from the disturbance of the mattress. Trying to find a distraction to what I had just agreed to, I grabbed onto Sasuke-kun's hand, leading it between my legs. I saw the nervousness in his face, but I kissed him to help conceal it from Naruto. I was slightly self-conscious of my morning breath, noting Sasuke-kun's breath didn't seem to have soured at all. I wondered if he had slept.
Naruto leapt back into the bed like a bolder. I felt Sasuke-kun panic with his fingers inside me, but nothing had hurt me. Instead, I bit my lip, and encouraged him with my hips. His fingers twitched in inexperience, and I urged him onward with my voice, the arm I had my weight on moving to search for him under the covers.
"Better not cheat this time, Sasuke. This time I'm here so-"
Sasuke-kun's eyes flashed dangerously. "If you hurt her-"
I interrupted the threat. "No fighting. This will not be a contest." I felt Naruto settle back behind me, arm holding the bottle of lotion wrapping around my waist avariciously as he let out a low growl. Sasuke-kun stared back at him defiantly over my shoulder.
If I was ignored about the fighting, so god help me...
My free arm slung back to grab Naruto's dick behind me. All his breath came out at once, effectively having him under my control. I started to stroke both of them, listening to the way their breathing changed, like a personal symphony just for me.
Mine. All mine.
I didn't notice Sasuke-kun worming his head down and pushing mine up until his teeth were pulling on my lips. I saw his eyes move to stare at Naruto in a harassing manner. Like he was silently bragging that he had my mouth. Of course, Naruto had to react. I didn't know where he left the bottle of lotion, but his hand was free to grasp me under my chin and pull me away to be kissed by him instead.
How annoying. I wasn't sure who to punish first. Even as Naruto was trying to cover my entire mouth with his, I could still feel Sasuke-kun nipping at the corner of my lips. The crane of my neck from this position was starting to hurt, so I squeezed, giving one pump of my left hand before rubbing my thumb in a circle over the sensitive head, and Naruto released his mouth from mine to gasp.
I tried to keep my face away from Sasuke-kun as well, because it wasn't fair, and I didn't want to have to do anymore scolding in the middle of it. I wasn't their mother.
But as I had always been good at outsmarting Naruto, Sasuke-kun had always been good at outsmarting me. I had forgotten his hand was inside me, and with a single thrust of his fingers, he found what he had been looking for. My head went back with mouth open, allowing him to have that controlling kiss he would only accept.
I heard Naruto whine behind me, teeth scraping against the back of my neck, and him humping my hand. I was wondering if the lotion bottle was forever lost in the sheets of the bed, but his hand soon left me, and I heard the sound of the cap being flipped open.
"Make her cum once first, Teme, so she's relaxed."
"Don't order me around. I know already."
"Then what's taking you so long?"
"You're impatient."
I growled. Naruto whined. Sasuke-kun kissed me again. He was listening to me intently with every move of his hand he did, noting my reactions. I tried to help, making sure to moan louder when something he did felt right. I pressed my mouth to Sasuke-kun's throat, breathing in the scent of his skin. I felt him swallow and it made me smile. Sasuke-kun always pretended he had himself together. Perhaps Naruto was right. He was all out of sorts. I made it worse when I ran my tongue across his Adam's apple.
Sasuke-kun stopped moving. Me kissing him, he came back to his senses. Frustrated with me distracting him, he sucked my tongue into his mouth. I whined, but he refused to release it, his hand suddenly working at a faster speed. It was making my toes curl, my hands now useless as I forgot what I had been doing with them. I whimpered out again, the sound muffled by his mouth.
He released me. I let out a relieved cry, but he only captured me again, teeth clamped on my bottom lip to keep me still. Sasuke-kun was so annoyingly dominating. I still didn't know how to control him like Naruto. Though at the moment it no longer mattered. I moaned as I finally felt my body release with tremors and clutching around Sasuke-kun's now soaked hand, but he didn't stop. I closed my eyes shut, tears at the corners of them, as he started to build me up again.
Naruto was busy rubbing his hand, now with lotion over my lower back and squeezing my ass. The lotion was lavender scented, and it was masking the scent of sex I was producing. Naruto proceeded to dig himself into my flesh. The way he was humping me actually felt really good, and I was beginning to wonder if anal sex could really be that bad. There was something scary about the idea, but I wasn't usually squeamish over pain. If Naruto and Sasuke-kun could do it, so could I. I felt Naruto start like he might push into me, before changing his mind and going back to rubbing my butt. I wasn't sure if he was just nervous in hurting me or teasing me as payback for last night. The anticipation was killing me.
Sasuke-kun slowly pulled his fingers out of me, tracing a wet trail playfully inside my leg. I lifted my leg slightly as the feeling tickled me. Naruto's grunt, and the smug look Sasuke-kun gave, made me think he must have grabbed him as well.
All the panting and touching and rubbing was starting to get me hot. Sasuke-kun must have been feeling the same way as he suddenly tore off the blanket that was covering us. I was slightly alarmed, his eyes scanning my exposed body before he grabbed my leg and lifted it up. He pressed himself against me, a chaste kiss to my lips as if asking for permission. I gave it to him as I helped guide him into me.
I whined into Sasuke-kun's mouth as he filled me. That first moment of being penetrated was so intense, so good. He moved in slow, deep, sensual moves.
Naruto was still busy prodding around behind me. I noticed that he was putting an effort to make sure the lotion was warm before it touched my skin, but with only one hand he had to keep reapplying it within his fingers. My natural fluids were starting to leak in between my legs, a wet vulgar sound as Sasuke-kun sunk in and out of me. Naruto had no qualms about mixing that with the lotion for his purpose. My cheeks burned as I started to think about what I was doing. It was dirty and shameless. As Sasuke-kun stared into my eyes, it became hot and exciting.
Then, Naruto's humping and pushing finally went somewhere as the tip of him inserted inside me.
"Fuck!" I screamed. Both Naruto and Sasuke-kun stopped moving. Sasuke-kun stared at me in surprise, alarm, perhaps even worried for my wellbeing. I hadn't meant to curse into his face like that and was feeling sort of embarrassed.
Naruto wasn't even breathing behind me, probably fearing for his life.
"Fucking shit," I heard myself saying more.
Naruto's voice was tight as he tried to speak. "You're so-"
"Just fucking finish it already!" Naruto was hardly in me at all. Since he stopped moving it didn't hurt, but it was extremely uncomfortable.
"I'll-I'll go slow."
"I don't fucking care!"
Naruto pushed a little more. I winced. Sasuke-kun seemed to be annoyed with Naruto's actions.
"Sakura-chan, I'm sorry. Should I be slower? Should I stop? What should I do?"
"You could shut up," I grumbled.
"I'll pull out."
"Shut up, you're annoying her!" Sasuke-kun snapped and shoved his hand into Naruto's mouth. It didn't really make Naruto quiet as he just moaned. In fact, the action caused Naruto to snap his hips forward and I let out a startled cry filled with slight pain but oddly good. I grabbed onto Sasuke-kun, silently begging for the two of them to begin moving inside me.
I wasn't sure how to convey the words, that I wanted more, that I wanted it faster and harder. All I could do was whine out loudly in need. Fortunately, Sasuke-kun seemed to know what I wanted as he pulled his hand out of Naruto's mouth to grab onto my thigh, tugging me against him as his hips rammed into me. The movement jerked me away from Naruto slightly, and Naruto whined at the friction it caused. Another snap, and Naruto buried deeper into me, me seeing stars as he grasped my left breast like his life depended on it. The more they moved, the more that anything painful or of discomfort disappeared.
I cried out with abandon, no longer caring what sort of noises Sasuke-kun could hear from me. Naruto wasn't being much quieter behind, groaning and moaning almost as much as I was. The only sounds from Sasuke-kun were his soft pants. Feeling them both inside me made me feel so complete, even as either one of their rhythms didn't match the other, or even as I felt them bump against each other through the wall of flesh that separated them, their fingers bruising into my skin like desperate men finding their last hope. They needed me. They wanted me.
I was giving it to them. They could take everything. I was giving them everything.
"H-harder..." I said in between my cries. Maybe I shouldn't have said that because Naruto seemed to take everything I said to such heart. He gave his soul to the command, slamming and moving so fast into me that I was in tears in seconds. Sasuke-kun swore under his breath. Not wanting to be outdone, he tried to match Naruto's speed or surpass it.
Naruto started rattling on nonsense into my neck now that Sasuke-kun's hand was out of his mouth. "Sakura-chan. So, fucking... hot. Bastard. Hate that... Man, I love..." I wasn't sure how he even had the breath with the pace he was setting.
"N-Naruto..." I gasped. "You talk too much..."
"You're so pretty," he continued.
Sasuke-kun's eyebrows twitched in annoyance, but his eyes were held tightly closed. I wasn't sure if it was to block out the sound of Naruto's voice or if he was too busy concentrating on what he was doing. Most likely both.
Oh, but Sasuke-kun...
Naruto put his head next to mine, sweaty cheek against sweaty cheek, as his fingers tweaked my nipple aggressively. "Look at him, Sakura-chan."
The sound of wet flesh smacking together from the both of them burned into my ears. This was lewd and dirty, and Sasuke-kun was participating right along with it. I watched him, my mouth open as I heaved in the air. I would have been drooling if my tongue wasn't already so dry. I watched his stomach muscles glide under his skin with every forceful move he sent into me, sending me shivering with just the image. His bicep was contracted from holding my leg up. He was so sexy himself.
"Look at Sasuke fuck you," Naruto rambled on. That one sentence seemed to be dirtier than everything else that had happened.
The shameless whimper I made to Naruto's words made Sasuke-kun look back, mismatching eyes only glancing at me, but it was everything. I had been moaning rather loudly already, but I screamed at the top of my lungs when I came.
"Bastard! You cheating again?!" Naruto cried over my noise. I of course couldn't be louder than him.
"Fuck no!"
"Shut up! Don't-" I was interrupted by a groan escaping my own mouth, "Don't fight," I finished.
Naruto murmured. "Can I...? I want you... I want you..."
I almost rolled my eyes. Didn't Naruto have me? Didn't Naruto have the both of us?
"I don't know how much longer I can hold back... Been waiting..."
Realizing what he was actually asking for, I heard my meek voice whispering, "Yes." I thought Naruto's pace was fast before, but at my soft word he exploded into an insane amount of energy. I screamed as loud as I was able to, Sasuke-kun clutching me like he was keeping me from falling apart. Perhaps he was.
The force of Naruto coming was like a hot spike being driven into a wound, only all pain had morphed to its opposite. I never felt like this before. My body was so sensitive that every graze of skin felt like tiny shocks. Sasuke-kun was more subtle in his finishing. He didn't drive abusively into me but restrained himself. I settled in watching the tendons strain in his neck and almost all of his skin flushed a lovely shade of pink.
The three of us concentrated on breathing for a moment, Naruto licking the back of my neck until I was even more sticky than I was from just my sweat. His arm landed heavy over me, hand hitting on Sasuke-kun's shoulder with a smack. "Is this a dream?" he suddenly asked.
I laughed. "Probably."
"You're both dumb," Sasuke-kun answered.
"Bastard, let me kiss you."
"No."
Naruto used me to push himself up anyway, landing on me in order to catch Sasuke-kun's mouth. He hissed in pain when Sasuke-kun must have bitten his lips. He smiled satisfied despite it as he plopped back behind me. "Not a dream," he said.
"Your breath stinks," Sasuke-kun replied. "Brush your teeth."
"Sure, sure," Naruto replied as he began to climb off of me.
I felt something start to leak out of me from both ends. "Wait. Naruto. Let me get in there first." I was finding it much harder to disentangle myself from Sasuke-kun and the sheets than Naruto. "I need to use the toilet."
"I don't care, Sakura-chan! Go right ahead! I don't mind if you piss or shit in front of me."
I stopped wrestling with the sheets, Sasuke-kun ripping them away from me himself, to glare at Naruto. "I'm not going to take a shit in front of you, you sick perv!"
"I'm not saying that it'll turn me on! I'm just saying if you had to, I wouldn't care. We're human. Everyone does it."
I huffed as my feet finally found the floor. For an alarming second, I wasn't sure if my legs were going to hold me up as I started rushing to the bathroom. I pushed Naruto out of my way when I felt both of their fluids running down my legs. Once I sat down on the toilet, I felt an embarrassingly amount of air escape my body from both orifices. I paled in horror, not sure if Naruto had heard. Luckily, he had been slow on following me.
"Wait, so you don't want me in there with you?"
"No!" I slammed the door closed with my foot.
I spent an obscenely amount of time on the toilet. Of course, I felt like I needed another shower afterwards, so I did that next. Both boys seemed too afraid to shower with me after I had locked Naruto out of the bathroom, so they had to wait until I was done, wasting more time.
To save time, the boys took a shower together, but I'm not sure how much of themselves they actually got cleaned. There was constant yelling and crashing coming from the bathroom as I went around the room in a panic trying to find all of our clothes. I slammed open the bathroom door when they were still in the midst of their shower. It looked like Sasuke-kun was in the middle of choking Naruto with a toothbrush. I didn't want to know.
"Naruto!" I shouted, ignoring what might have very well been Sasuke-kun attempting to murder him. "I can't find my bra. Where is it?"
Sasuke-kun paused in his assault and Naruto coughed up toothpaste to spit into the tub drain. "I don't know, Sakura-chan. Why are you asking me?"
"You're the one that ripped off all my clothes last night!" I looked around the bathroom. I was pretty sure my bra hadn't made it in here, though my shirt had.
"I honestly don't remember much of last night."
"You better find it right now! It's your fault it's gone!"
"I don't know where it is!"
"You probably flung it somewhere-"
"Naruto didn't lose it," Sasuke-kun interrupted me. I stared at Sasuke-kun standing still in the spray of the shower. "You asked me to take it off of you before you went to bed."
Naruto pointed at Sasuke-kun. "Ha! And you were going to let me take the blame-"
"I didn't! I said something about it! It's probably in the bed. Did you find my pants?"
"No," I answered.
Sasuke-kun growled. "And that's Naruto's fault." He stormed out of the bathroom, neglecting to grab a towel to dry himself off. We had less than fifteen minutes now. I had taken a rather long shower. "This is stupid. How hard did you even look?" Sasuke-kun snapped at me and I frowned at him.
"I had nothing to do with you losing your pants, Sasuke-kun. I told you guys to stop fighting." I went back to the bed to search for my bra. Unfortunately, the article of clothing was white as well as the sheets, making it difficult to spot.
"We have another problem," I heard Sasuke-kun say. I looked over and saw he was standing in front of a mirror that hung in the room. He looked less than happy as he stared at the bruises left on his neck.
"Oh, right! I was going to heal that for you!" I was putting it off because I thought Sasuke-kun looked rather cute covered in hickeys, but I knew it had to be done before we left the inn.
"You got them too," he stated.
"Oh, shit." Healing myself was harder than healing Sasuke-kun. I noticed one on my neck as well, but as I lifted up my hair, I discovered they went all around the back of my neck and down my shoulder. When did that even happen?! "Naruto!"
"Naruto," Sasuke-kun growled as well, glaring at his reflection like he could scare the hickeys away.
"What?!" Naruto called from the bathroom. He walked out, heading straight to where I had left his clothes-all together, I must add- in the middle of the floor. He was the only one that hadn't lost anything. He was also the only one with unmarked skin thanks to the Nine-Tails.
"I'm killing you," Sasuke-kun stated. I got busy on washing out the bruises from his skin. Naruto watched me, disappointed.
"Aw, Sakura-chan but they looked so nice!" Sasuke-kun's look to Naruto could have killed him.
"It has to be done. We can't let Kakashi-sensei see," I answered. Sasuke-kun turned his head sharply back to the mirror to watch my progress.
"Psh, who cares if Kakashi-sensei sees?!" Naruto drawled.
"I do!" I stated in horror.
"Of course, you would," Sasuke-kun rolled his eyes, and even Naruto seemed to catch the hidden malice in his voice. He made a face of shock at me, completely confused as I was where it was coming from.
"Kakashi-sensei finding out anything that happened tonight is almost as mortifying as if my own father found out. Dammit... what would my parents think?"
"Don't tell them," Sasuke-kun said as if it was obvious. I wasn't going to tell them! But just the thought of them ever finding out somehow made me shiver with shame.
Naruto's eyes briefly went to Sasuke-kun's ass. I followed his gaze, eyes widening as I realized he was looking at the bite mark.
"Leave that one," Naruto said.
"What!?" Sasuke-kun snapped.
Naruto gave me a kiss before I could say anything. "Oh! There's Sakura-chan's bra!" He walked away from me to the bed, pulling the garment out from underneath a pillow. I wasn't sure how he was able to notice it from here. "Don't worry Teme, I'll find your stupid pants. Just give me a minute."
There was a knock on the door. "Cleaning service!" All three of us stared at each other in horror for about half a second.
"Quick, Teme! Jump out the window!" Sasuke-kun glared at Naruto, for he was still fully naked, holding his ripped shirt in his hand. I was in the middle of re-putting my shirt on now that I had found my bra. Naruto was the only one fully dressed. "Fuck, what's that!?" He pulled Sasuke-kun's pants from underneath the bed and flung them at him. Then he went to the door to crack it open. "Sorry! Sorry! We're having a bit of a late start."
"Check out was at eleven!"
Naruto laughed nervously. "I know! I know! I'm so sorry. We'll be on our way now." Naruto turned his head over his shoulder to shift his eyes at Sasuke-kun and then the window. Once Sasuke-kun had dressed himself indignantly, shoving on his bottoms before slinging his black coat around his naked chest, he disappeared gracefully out the window.
I was trying to gather all of our things, in and out of the bathroom. Once Sasuke-kun was gone, Naruto opened the door more to let the angry looking lady poke around. I was beginning to notice the room had the strong stench of sex still attached to it. I quickly left with Naruto.
Once we found Sasuke-kun outside, I asked, "So, what's the plan now?"
"We buy Sasuke some new clothes," Naruto snickered as he pointed to the tattered shirt that Sasuke-kun still held.
"We don't have time for that!" Sasuke-kun snapped. "The plan should be to look for Kakashi."
"Dude, the point of this whole trip was to force you to go clothes shopping with me, anyway." Sasuke-kun stared at Naruto for a long time, trying to figure out if he was being serious.
"I thought you wanted to see Kakashi's face."
"I want to spend time with you guys. Damn, why is that such a foreign concept to you?"
"Did you plan-"
"Guys," I interrupted. Though I was sort of speculating about Naruto, I didn't believe he was nearly clever enough to have planned out everything that had happened last night. "We should find Kakashi-sensei as soon as we can. He might be waiting for us at the onsen."
Naruto laughed. I rolled my eyes. Kakashi-sensei never did seem to have to wait for anyone.
"Let me see your shirt, Sasuke-kun. Maybe I can repair it." He handed it over to me. I had ruined it first. I couldn't believe I had ripped it while it still clung to his body.
Of course, we still had no idea where this onsen was supposed to be, and we wound up just following Naruto around to different stores and stands selling a variety of things. We ate, we speculated, we argued, and we laughed. Naruto tried to buy Sasuke-kun clothes among other things, but we were able to talk him out of most of the silly or useless stuff.
The streets were rather crowded, so we took to holding each other's hands to prevent us from getting lost. I was the one that grabbed onto both of the boys, and they didn't protest. My left hand in Sasuke-kun's fidgeted a lot. I couldn't stop wanting to feel the friction of our skin moving together. He clutched my hand to get me to stop, annoyed with me.
Naruto only held my hand firmly and purposely.
We cleared the crowd to an opening. I headed in that direction just for some breathing room, having no idea that people were steering clear from the front of this building because of the frightening looking Leaf ANBU. I honestly hadn't noticed them with them in plain sight. The first thing I saw was the Hokage's hat.
With Kakashi-sensei's eyes on me, I ripped my hands free. Or at least I tried to. Sasuke-kun let go of me respectfully, but Naruto, the moron, had still been gripping me, so my yank had just sent him to the ground.
"What perfect timing!" Kakashi-sensei announced. "I just got here myself. I'm sorry I'm late. There was a situation. But it looks like you three have been getting along." Kakashi-sensei eyed us.
"We sure have!" Naruto said with a bursting grin.
My entire body blushed pink as I cried, "Oh my god!" like Naruto had just revealed our secret. Sure, he hadn't said anything, but he didn't have to. Kakashi-sensei was beyond perceptive. He knew. He knew everything!
Sasuke-kun rolled his eyes at our obviousness.
Kakashi-sensei laughed. Because he knew. "Have you guys already checked in or have you had your escapades elsewhere?"
I let out another horrified groan.
"Stop it," Sasuke-kun hissed at me.
"Well, we sorta got lost," Naruto answered Kakashi-sensei.
"Oh, I see. Well, let's see if they still have our reservations for us." The somewhat large entourage started to file into the onsen building, Kakashi-sensei complaining about his ANBU being too close to him.
"He knows!" I whispered harshly into my hands.
"Who cares?" Naruto uttered as he followed inside.
"Sakura, how would he even know? You're overreacting."
"Kakashi-sensei is half Inuzuka. He can probably smell it on us. God, I feel like I still can even after I showered forever."
Sasuke-kun and I had yet to enter the building and even though Naruto had started to, he backed out. "What? No, he isn't. Kakashi-sensei doesn't have a family."
Sasuke-kun clenched his jaw. "Just because they're not alive doesn't mean they don't exist. I thought you weren't this stupid anymore!"
"But the Inuzuka!?"
"Of course. Why do you think he keeps dogs?!" I asked exasperated.
"I don't know. Because he's a dog himself?"
"I see you three are talking about me," A voice came from behind us, not at all in the direction of the building that Kakashi-sensei had disappeared into. We screamed. Well Sasuke-kun didn't scream but he did jump. Kakashi-sensei laid a hand on each of the boys' shoulders, me in the middle. "Come children," he said as he escorted us inside. "Let's not make the nice onsen lady wait any longer for us than she already has."
Normally, the onsen's policy would have never let us still have our reservations, but Kakashi-sensei certainly had a way of getting people to do what he wanted. I wasn't quite sure what it was. He didn't look like he was openly flirting with anyone, like Naruto, but whatever he did, had all sorts of people swooning over him.
The atmosphere of the onsen was calming, and I soon forgot my nervousness of keeping our secret from Kakashi-sensei. Well, I almost forgot. It didn't help that Naruto kept trying to touch me when he thought no one was looking. My reaction of jumping at every touch and smacking him seemed to only fuel the bad behavior but I couldn't make my body react in any other way. Sasuke-kun stared flatly at the both of us whenever it happened.
At dinner, we were seated at a table full of expensive food that I was a little afraid to touch. Sasuke-kun didn't eat much either, but of course Naruto was stuffing his face.
"Slow down there, Naruto. You're going to eat my wallet empty."
Naruto only paused long enough to say," Ha, told you Kakashi-sensei was gonna pay."
"Well, he didn't have much choice with you stealing his credit card," Sasuke-kun commented bored.
"I didn't steal it! He gave it to me!"
"Credit card?" Kakashi-sensei asked, confused. Sasuke-kun gave Naruto a triumphant look.
"Yeah, Kakashi-sensei, tell 'em how you gave me your credit card!"
"I don't remember that..."
"This!" Naruto pulled out the card in question. He threw it on the table before Kakashi-sensei picked it up, eyebrows drawn together as he examined it. Then his face lit up. "Oh! This is Tenzo's card...! He has multiple names from being in the ANBU."
Naruto yelled out, "HA!" like he had just been proven right when he had been completely wrong, as it was not Kakashi-sensei's card.
"I must have handed it to you by accident. Ah, well."
Accident, my ass. I wondered why Kakashi-sensei even had Captain Yamato's card in the first place. Whatever the reason was, I knew he must have been abusing it.
"Did you wind up using it?"
"Only a little bit," Naruto waved. I held my breath. "Since you weren't at the restaurant, we had to go somewhere else. Late as always Kakashi-sensei. You know, you being the Hokage, you should know better now. And I thought you were gonna ditch the ANBU." The ABNU weren't in sight as they were hiding in the shadows, but I thought I heard one sigh in indifference.
"Well, there wasn't time to. The reason why I was late is because there was a death within the village's elders and the arrangements for the funeral had to be solidified before I left."
Sasuke-kun's back straightened at this news, his fist on the table growing rigid. I took his hand, ducking it under the table so I could hold it more discreetly. He squeezed my hand back. "Who was it?" he asked.
"Unfortunately, both Homura and Koharu are still alive and kicking and have a fine bill of health." He gave Sasuke-kun a long look. "They shouldn't be kicking the bucket anytime soon due to any sort of sickness, poisoning, or assassination attempts," he listed warningly. Sasuke-kun's grip on my hand became almost painful. "But who knows! After a certain point, old age just makes everything start to go all at once. In a couple of years..."
Sasuke-kun grunted.
"Then who died?" I asked.
"I don't think you would have known him. He wasn't part of the counsel, but he was a follower of Homura and Koharu. We don't have many elders in Konoha because of the shinobi lifestyle so the funeral is turning out to be somewhat of a big deal. That generation is almost completely gone."
"Oh." Naruto stopped eating, going deep into thought. "That's kind of sad."
"It happens."
"It's kinda sad, but I'm also... kind of relieved. Not that I'm happy that anyone's dying," Naruto quickly said. "It's just... times are changing, you know? So many of the world's problems are generations old, and since it's what people have known their whole life you can't change it easily. But like, in twenty more years, everyone in power's gonna be our age. We're gonna have the power to actually change the system, you know?"
"That is true," Kakashi-sensei said, as he put more food on his plate after his first helping mysteriously vanished. "A new generation will come. It always does."
"Sometimes," Naruto continued. "I get nervous about being Hokage because there seems to be so many issues that need to be addressed, so much backwards thinking that caused people to suffer because of tradition and of what happened a hundred years ago bullshit. But like, by the time I'm Hokage, all the people around me that are helping me are going to be people my age, my friends, and the elders are gonna be people like you and Grandma Tsunade."
Kakashi-sensei laughed. "You know I'm not as old as Tsunade-sama, correct?"
"Whatever, you know what I mean!" Naruto looked over to Sasuke-kun and I. "We're gonna be the people that make a difference. We're gonna actually fix the problems. Like the stuff Danzo pulled, or stupid horrible family traditions, those things aren't gonna fly anymore. Everything's going to change. Instead of focusing on war, we'll put more funds to hospitals and the academy. Stuff like that. The Jinchūriki being kept as weapons, clans ordered to be eliminated, ignoring the skills of lesser-known families, all the stuff important to us, we're gonna get fixed."
Sasuke-kun wasn't looking at anyone, him staring off into space, but I could tell he was listening to Naruto's clumsy words.
"You better believe it!" Naruto stuffed some more food in his mouth and talked around his chewing. "You guys are gonna help me, right?"
Sasuke-kun smirked. "Dobe," was all he said, as if to say of course he would.
I only smiled.
Until Naruto tried to nudge me with his foot under the table. I knew he had meant to startle me again, for his eyes were locked on mine, but he missed judged and touched Sasuke-kun instead, who immediately kicked him in the shin.
"Alright, after everyone is finished here, we'll stop at the rooms. I'm not made of money so Naruto and Sasuke are sharing," Kakashi-sensei yawned.
"What?! How come Sakura-chan's always forced to be alone, I don't think that's fair-" I kicked Naruto again.
We relaxed at the onsen. I listened to Naruto and Sasuke-kun bicker behind the wooden bamboo wall that separated the genders of the hot springs. Instead of trying to reprimand them for their fighting like usual, I was finding it reassuring and nostalgic. I sighed contented. I could tell who was who as they moved around in the water. Naruto being much louder, it was obvious when he moved his body against the wooden wall to get away from 'The bastard'.
"You're not trying to sneak a peek, are you?" I asked lowly so that only Naruto could hear. I also happened to be right against the wall. Maybe I was just trying to be as close to them as possible.
Naruto laughed nervously. "Why would you care? I already saw you naked."
I gritted my teeth. "That's not the point. The point is you're doing it without permission and that's disrespectful!"
"Well, do I have your permission?"
I blushed. "It's not like you can see much anyway," I said, up to my neck in the bath salted water. I gave a start when I saw a blue eye looking through a hole in the wood that I hadn't realized was there.
"Are you lonely over there all by yourself?" Naruto asked in a whisper.
I laughed. "I can hear you guys just fine. I know you're there."
"Okay, Sakura-chan," I heard the smile in his voice as he pulled his face away. His index finger slid through the hole, and he gave it a wave. "You're right, we're right over here."
I don't know what possessed me to do it, but I leaned over and kissed Naruto's finger. Once he felt my lips, he stopped moving it around, the finger growing lax at my touch. Then I covered it with my mouth, giving it a playful suck.
"Shit."
"Dobe, what are you doing?" Naruto quickly pulled his finger free from my mouth.
"N-nothing!"
"Kakashi's asleep. We should wake him up so he can go to bed."
"Ha! Being the Hokage's a tiring job! Okay, I'm coming."
Kakashi-sensei retired to his room, and I headed to my own, hugging the comfy robe provided by the onsen to my body. My eyes were heavy from the day, the steam of the water making me sleepy. I let them fall for maybe half a second and didn't notice Naruto until he had me suddenly pinned to a wall, kissing my mouth. I moaned into the kiss, it feeling too good for me to get mad at him.
He broke off the kiss to whisper, "I've been holding that in all day." He grinned. I blinked lazily at him, too relaxed and content to argue. "Sleep with us."
"Kakash-"
"-is sleeping. Come on. Sasuke doesn't cuddle."
Sasuke-kun smacked Naruto on the back of the head. I hadn't noticed him there either. "Stop fooling around." And Naruto pulled me into their room without my answer.
He dragged me into his sleeping mat as Sasuke-kun was still shuffling around the room, pulling the covers around me and nuzzling me with his nose. "Settle down," I groaned. "I'm sleepy." Naruto ignored my complaining as he laid a wet kiss on my neck, swirling his tongue around until it tickled. I let out a loud laugh.
Naruto shushed me with a grin.
Sasuke-kun turned out the light, and in the dark, he must have crawled over to us because he was soon kissing me too. He even let Naruto kiss him. There was a strange heaviness in the air as all three of us stuck to each other in order to be able to fit on the small sleeping mat. We lazily touched each other, slowly and lovingly and unusually quiet. It was so much different than the other night with our desperate passion. Last night we were drunk. Last night could have been a weird thing that wouldn't happen again because of the alcohol.
But Sasuke-kun hadn't been drunk.
And what was this? This wasn't sex. This was what?
"I wish I had two arms," Naruto whispered. "So, I could hold both of you." My jaw became tight.
This was love. We were in love.
"You shouldn't have blown one of them off then," I said scoldingly, because I wasn't sure if I could handle this much love, love from two people, love for two people. Why did my jaw ache?
I turned to kiss someone, my mouth landed on a shoulder. I pressed my mouth hard against it to relieve the pressure. Someone was combing his fingers through my hair, his breath on the back of my neck, reassuring me that this was alright. It was okay.
We could all love each other. We all did love each other. We had to, this was our happily ever after.
The rest of our stay at the onsen was like this, calming togetherness. During the day, Naruto flirted with the both of us, completely not caring who saw. It was annoying so I didn't heal his broken nose when Sasuke-kun punched him for trying to kiss him in the hot spring. At least not until nightfall again when I forgot to be mad at him. I continued to sneak into their room, sleeping with them, occasionally having slow quiet sex with either one when whoever had the energy. I'd listen to Naruto and Kakashi-sensei talk about politics with Sasuke-kun and I was happy.
Then the vacation ended.
And so did happily ever after.
Happily ever after is misleading because 'ever after' sounds a lot like 'forever'. You're supposed to be happy forever. But that's not the case. Happily ever after only promises happiness after. After what? Who knows. Perhaps after death because then you can't be alive to suffer anymore. Naruto, Sasuke-kun and I, always being together wasn't our happily ever after. I found this out the day after we had returned from the onsen, and Naruto came to my parents' door, ramming his fist hard, face soaked with tears and swearing at everything that moved.
"What the hell's wrong?" I asked, alarmed at his condition.
He sniffled, rubbing the snot leaking from his nose with the back of his hand. "He's leaving. He's leaving us again!"
