I woke up slowly, the haze of slumber clinging to my senses. As awareness seeped back in, I soon realized a weight held my body in place, restricting my movements. Tilting my head slightly, I discovered a cascade of disheveled, long red hair sprawled over my body.

I blinked a couple of times, attempting to regain my vision. When that didn't work, I brought my hand up to rub my eyes, dispelling any lingering sleepiness. Soon enough, the picture became clearer.

Tayuya was peacefully sleeping on top of me, her red hair creating a mesmerizing curtain. I felt her breathe tickling the left side of my chest, an oddly pleasant sensation that allowed me to relax and rest my head on my pillow once more.

After a while, I raised my head again, realizing she showed no signs of waking up. It quickly dawned on me that she was a heavy sleeper.

As this realization settled in, intrusive thoughts resurfaced, and in a moment of impulse, my body acted. I moved my arms around her short frame, pulling her closer to me, and planted a kiss on her head.

Why?

I couldn't pinpoint the exact reason. It just felt fitting, as if some unspoken obligation compelled me to do so.

"Didn't peg you to be so caring, princess," Tayuya said, slowly moving her head and resting her chin on my chest, flashing a very smug grin.

I rolled my eyes at her teasing comment, a smirk playing on my lips, when an idea popped into my mind. I gently grabbed her chin, lifting it to meet my gaze, and pulled her in for a peck on her sweet lips.

"Good morning," I greeted her, my tone holding a hint of amusement after seeing her reaction..

Tayuya's cheeks flushed with a faint red hue, her disheveled hair providing a partial shield to her embarrassment. For a moment, she averted her gaze, but soon she gently rested back on my chest, nuzzling against my neck.

"Morning..." she grumbled, not moving from her new spot, and let out a content sigh.

I glanced around, gauging the time of day. The sun hadn't fully risen, casting a gentle darkness outside. "Do you want breakfast?"

"Just 5 more minutes," Tayuya replied, her voice carrying a sleepy tone. A contagious yawn escaped her, prompting one from me as well.

"Fine," I conceded, pulling her into a warm hug. Closing my eyes, I embraced the quietude of the moment, accompanying her for a quick nap. The world outside seemed to fade away as we nestled into each other.

When I woke up again, it wasn't prompted by any external disturbance but rather an internal realization. Opening my eyes, I discerned that more than just a few minutes had slipped by. The room had brightened, and the sun now painted the surroundings with a soft morning glow.

A couple of sun rays filtered through the window, helping to illuminate the bedroom better.

"Okay, that's enough," I announced, gently pushing my companion off my body. Tayuya groggily woke up, extending her arms in a feeble attempt to stop me from leaving the large bed.

"Nooooooo," she protested, but I slipped away from her grasp, earning me an annoyed glare, her lips twisting into a pout.

I rolled my eyes at her antics, knowing I wasn't one to laze around for too long.

Getting up from the bed, I started stretching my limbs and neck, relishing the feeling of satisfaction. As I did, a sudden chill ran through my body, and I looked down, only to realize that I was pretty much naked.

Tayuya, well aware of this fact, couldn't help but giggle, hastily slapping her hand over her mouth to stifle the laughter.

I seized the quilt from the bed and yanked it, causing Tayuya to shriek in surprise. But she quickly reacted, grabbing the quilt before I could reveal that she was as naked as me. Her eyes widened with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance as she clutched the quilt tightly around her, a playful scowl forming on her face.

"Seriously, princess? Can't a girl get some privacy?" she complained, the corners of her lips betraying with a playful tone.

I merely raised an eyebrow in response, a smirk playing on my lips as well.

"I will take a shower first." I announced, heading straight to the bathroom.

She nodded, her earlier playful demeanor shifting into a more relaxed one. She laid back onto the bed, wrapping the quilt securely around herself.

And that was all I saw before I closed the door, shutting out the view, and entered the shower. I twisted the knobs, watching the shower cascade and quickly warm up to a pleasant temperature.

It was really a blessing in disguise that some aspects of a previous life were present here as well.

Steam filled the small space, creating a comforting environment. I stood under the stream and closed my eyes, allowing the water to wash away the physical and emotional residue of the previous day's activities. The rhythmic sound of droplets hitting the tiles became a soothing melody.

Or that was the plan until something soft and cushy pressed against my back and a pair of hands wrapped around my waist.

My breath caught in my throat, and I turned to look behind me, meeting a familiar gaze full of mischief.

"I would prefer to finish my shower first." I said, feeling a bit annoyed by the interruption.

"Shut up for once, asshole." Tayuya scowled, smiling widely even though there was no real sign of anger in her expression.

I sighed and didn't retort at her comment. Instead, I quickly grabbed her wrists, forcing them down and pinning them to the wall beside me.

"What the fuck?!" she exclaimed, her voice full of surprise.

I leaned in, kissing her softly on the lips. After a second or two, I broke away, taking a step back and letting go of her hands.

Her breathing came fast and shallow, gently biting her lower lip as she watched me intently, her rich brown eyes sparkling with desire. The water running down her toned body made her more enticing than ever, accentuating every curve and dip in her skin.

Falling to temptation, I moved in and captured her lips again, my hand reaching up and cupping her right cheek. Deepening the kiss, I pushed her back against the tiled wall, my tongue asking for access.

Tayuya was quick to respond, her body leaning in to meet mine. The tip of my tongue probed her lips, seeking entry, and she gladly accepted. Soon our tongues entwined together, exploring each other's mouths hungrily. My left hand roamed up and down her wet body, touching and caressing every inch of her until I reached her breast.

She gasped when my fingers found her nipple and began to lightly pinch it between my fingers. A moan escaped her parted lips at the same time I sucked hard on her bottom lip, pulling on it slightly while continuing to massage more of her.

The sensation sent shivers through her entire frame, making her lean further into the wall, pressing her chest harder into my touch and wrapping her hands around my neck.

A few seconds later, she pulled back, breaking the kiss first. She stared deep into my eyes. Her pupils dilated, her cheeks flushed, and her breathing heavy. Not wasting another moment, I pressed my body against her as my hand slowly moved down until it reached her hips.

I squeezed my way in between her legs, slipping my index finger inside of her slick pussy. Her muscles instantly clenched around me and she let out a low whimper as I began moving my intruding finger in and out of her.

Except, this time I didn't want to play around with her body, as I removed my hand from her hot snatch and instead used it to take hold of her tight ass, making her yelp in surprise and look at me questioningly.

I merely chuckled and lifted her left leg up and placed it over my shoulder, revealing how flexible she truly was and exposing her most intimate parts to me.

Tayuya didn't protest, as she gave me a wolfish grin when she saw my intentions. "You're such an asshole." She moaned as I took advantage of her exposed state by rubbing my erect dick across her folds, fully intending to tease her a bit more in petty revenge.

"That's what you like about me," I say, my cock throbbing at the thought of getting inside her already soaked hole.

"Fuck... you..." she answered breathlessly, her eyes fluttering shut, her head tipping back against the wall.

I slid myself along her slit, teasing her swollen bud before pushing my head against her opening. The moment the head slipped inside, I felt her muscles clench around me and she cried out loudly, her back arching off the tile, her mouth wide open.

With a swift thrust, I buried my length inside of her, filling her completely, eliciting a gasp from both of us. I held still for a few moments, savoring the feeling of being inside her warm tunnel.

"No foreplay?" She forces a smile, trying to look smug but failing miserably. As her face was as red as her hair.

I smirked at her comment and pulled out, then plunged back inside with a single motion, causing her to squeak in both surprise and pleasure.

"You had plenty last night." I whispered in her ear, making her shudder after gently biting her shoulder as her smooth insides gripped my shaft, and the slight warmth radiating throughout her body only intensified by the steam produced by the running shower.

I continued to move inside of her, driving deeper with every thrust. Every movement caused her body to tighten and release, tightening again whenever my balls slapped her ass. Until she almost let out a moan, but caught herself just in time as she bite my shoulder to not make any embarrassing but sweet sound.

I stopped thrusting and instead began to grind against her, enjoying the feel of her walls gripping me so tightly. My hand then grabbed a fistful of her red hair and pulled her off my shoulder, tilting her head back and exposing her throat. I lowered my mouth to her neck and kissed her tenderly before sliding my tongue along the sensitive skin, tasting her sweetness.

"W-wait..." She tried to protest but was cut short as I bit down on her neck. Her cries of pain mixed with pleasured moans as I teased her neck with my teeth.

Soon, however, I couldn't resist anymore and pulled out of her dripping cunt and released her leg before turning her body around. Using my entire weight to press her against the wall, I lined up and sank my length back into her warm depths without delay. Only to my willpower and don't move an inch.

"No cheating me now." I whispered into her ear and nibbled on her lobe, eliciting a cute little moan from her.

"Asshole..." she managed to say, between her heavy breaths.

I only smirked and waited, watching her squirm as I held her in place. Before she took the initiative and tried to push back her hips, trying to stroke herself on my shaft. But I wouldn't allow her that privilege, not yet anyway.

And gave her firm round butt a smack, sending a jolt of pleasure shooting through her body. As she clamped down on me in response, but still kept her lips sealed.

A response that made me chuckle darkly as I hit her ass again and squeezed it firmly between my fingers. This time I heard a muffled cry escape her lips as she writhed underneath me, trying desperately to find relief. But I kept denying her wishes, as I loved being in control.

Leaning closer to her, I nibbled on her earlobe once more, giving it a light flick. And hearing a sharp intake of air as her body tensed up.

"Say my name." I huskily whispered.

"Bastard!"

I smiled and gave her ass another slap, causing her body to go rigid, but her folds still worked furiously to milk my erection.

"Say it." I repeated, knowing full well she wanted nothing more than to give me exactly what I asked for. It was out of her roguish pride that she refused to comply.

So I went to persuade her by grabbing her left breast, squeezing it roughly in my palm. She groaned as my thumb circled around her stiffened nipple and tugged at it.

But still she remained silent. So I did the next best thing, using my free hand to reach around her stomach and reach for the swollen bud.

I gave it a gentle squeeze and felt her body jerk in reaction, her muscles clenching around me as if begging me to do more.

Smirking, I obliged and increased the pressure, applying enough force that soon her whole body shook from the effort of keeping quiet.

"Sasuke..."

Victory.

"What was that?" I asked, grinning broadly.

She pouted and looked away.

"Tell me." I demanded, giving her sensitive spot another pinch.

"Sasuke!" she moaned.

I grinned evilly and brought my hand away from her breast and grabbed her chin, and turned her head to look back at me.

"Say it again." I commanded, making her cheeks flush with embarrassment and causing her lips to tremble.

She closed her eyes for a moment, gathering the strength within to speak again.

"Sasu-"

I silence her by claiming her lips with mine, silencing her with my tongue. I thrust my tongue into her mouth and she let out a moan, surrendering. And finally start pumping my cock in earnest.

My body trembled at the feeling of her hot, tight pussy gripping my shaft. The way her juices flowed down my shaft every time drove it deep inside her, coating it in her arousal.

Tayuya lightly bit my lower lip and breaks away from the kiss, panting heavily as she looks back at me with an expression begging for more, her half-lid eyes driving me wild.

With a quick thrust, she met my thrusts as we fucked against the wall with abandon, our bodies slapping together as I pounded into her with renewed vigor.

The water splashing against us in the ever running shower and the steam rising from the hot water added an element of excitement, heightening my senses and intensifying the heat between us.

It felt good. It felt so damn good.

Tayuya moaned loudly, silently agreeing with my thoughts, arching her body against my own and meeting each thrust with one of her own.

We were both moaning loudly now, lost in passion. Our movements became less controlled as our needs grew, and soon we were fucking wildly against the wall, both of us grunting with exertion, gasping for air as the tension kept building up.

Both my arms quickly wrapped around her perfect waist, holding her close to me as I slammed my length into her repeatedly and suckled on her neck, making sure to leave a mark. Something she appreciated as she bucked her hips and tightened around me even more, forcing me to grit my teeth as I tried to keep going.

Finally, Tayuya could take no more and cried out loud, releasing all the pent-up emotions that had been brewing within her since she entered the bathroom.

"INSIDE!"

Her voice echoed across the closed room and I growled softly, burying myself completely inside her as she climaxed, milking my dick like it was a lifeline.

As I felt her walls tighten around my shaft, my orgasm followed closely behind, filling her womb and painting those tight walls white.

I continued to move inside her, savoring the feel of her wetness enveloping my length as she spasmed and her legs lost strength bit by bit, until finally they gave out entirely. But my arms kept her firmly in place so she wouldn't get hurt as she recovered some of her strength back.

I slowly pulled out, easing my hold on her, and she whimpered as she felt me slip from her, leaving her empty.

I stood there for a few seconds, just looking at her, admiring her body and my work. The small red marks I had left on her neck and shoulders, the flushed cheeks and the slight smile she wore as she panted.

I could go for more. I wanted to go for another round right then. But I knew she'd be too sore later, especially after last night's long activities and people would take notice of her less than optimal state.

So I reluctantly stepped away and reached over to turn off the faucet, letting the water flow out into the drain. Then I grabbed a towel and wiped myself clean while Tayuya leaned against the tile wall, catching her breath.

I handed her another towel and watched as she cleaned herself up. She got most of the moisture out of her hair, but left a few strands clinging to her forehead.

Attempting to rise on her own, Tayuya's legs betrayed her, causing her to fall on her butt. A spontaneous laugh escaped me, earning a disapproving glare from her. However, the glower quickly faded when I carefully moved my arms around her lower back and in the crook of her knees before lifting her.

She huffed. "I can stand, you know." Her defiant words didn't quite align with her actions, as she wrapped her arms around my neck, very much happy with my help.

I merely smirked. "Sure, I've seen how well that worked out just now."

Tayuya shot me another mock glare, but the corners of her lips betrayed the amusement she couldn't hide. Rolling my eyes, I step out from the shower and then leave my bathroom.

The first thing I noticed was the coolness of my room, a stark contrast to the makeshift sauna we had created in the bathroom with the unabated use of hot water. But it was a minor thing easily dismissed, and I walked toward my bed and gently lowered Tayuya's exhausted body onto it.

She released her grip, sighing in contentment as she reached for a nearby pillow to support her head. I turned away, heading back to the bathroom in search of more towels and a comb. The last thing I wanted was my hair becoming a tangled mess.

Upon my return, however, Tayuya had shifted from lying down to sitting on the edge of the bed, her gaze fixed on the empty wall. It was as if an invisible weight pressed down on her, casting a shadow over her normally rude and explosive attitude.

I walked closer. "Is something wrong?"

No response came. My partner remained lost in thought, her eyes vacant, as if she were trapped in a trance, disconnected from the world around her. The silence was becoming heavier.

Furrowing my brow at the sudden change, I took a seat beside her and placed the towels at the foot of the bed. Much to my surprise, she leaned on me, her head finding a comfortable spot on my shoulder almost immediately.

"Just hold me, please," she muttered, her voice carrying a pleading tone.

Her unexpected request caught me off guard, and I glanced at her with a puzzled expression. Nevertheless, I shook my head and extended an arm, wrapping it around her and pulling her close.

For a while, we just sat there in silence, both lost in our thoughts and staring into nothingness.

It was she who broke the silence, turning toward me with a pleased smile. "You're a really caring asshole under all that edge, aren't you?"

A small smirk tugged at the corner of my lips. "Guess I have my moments," I replied, a hint of amusement in my voice. "Nobody will believe you anyway."

Sasuke Uchiha, the brooding bastard getting all sappy and caring? Yeah, right.

She chuckled. "True that."

Sighing, I crossed my arms and shot her a questioning look. "Now that you're feeling better, care to tell me what that was all about?"

All the time we were together, she kept that terrible and bitchy attitude.

My question prompted an unexpected change. Tayuya fell silent again, her demeanor turning serious. She grabbed her head with both hands, scratching at her messy red hair. "Look, shit happens. It's just weird to explain, but thank you for playing along and... oh, fuck this."

Without warning, she lunged at me, wrapping her arms around my head and smashing our lips together. I could even taste a bit of blood thanks to the force she used, but the sudden, unexpected kiss left me momentarily stunned, unsure of how to react at first.

Slowly, I managed to push her away, creating some space between us.

"Fuuuck! That was shit! No! I didn't mean it like that! I mean... I mean!" she stammered, frantically waving her hands, her voice growing loud, as panic became more evident in her.

I quickly reached out, grabbing her shoulders and shaking her once. "Relax and breathe."

She paused, staring at me for a moment, before taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly.

"Better?"

However, she shook her head as tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. Something she was quick to notice as she touched her cheeks and wiped them away. Only to burst into hysterical laughter, her voice echoing through the room.

I could only watch, in a growing mixture of confusion and concern.

Tayuya wiped away more tears, trying to compose herself. "Y-You have no idea how fucked up in the head I am."

"We all are fucked up in the head." I stated as a matter of fact.

Even thinking my statement a bit more, every person I know is fucked in the head one way or the other. None of us are safe from this clusterfuck.

"It's not helping... damn it... why?" she muttered, frustration evident in her voice.

"Do you want to talk?" I offered, despite having no idea how to help, but I was sure that talking about the issue and vent helped to a degree.

"OF FUCKING COURSE I WANT TO!" she suddenly stood up, shouting extremely loud, only to realize the abrupt and drastic mood swing. With a heavy sigh, she sat back down, dropping her face into her hands. "I just don't... know how to say it."

I looked over my shoulder toward the clock on the wall, noting that it still marked an early hour in the morning. Besides, the rising sun maintained the same gentle light across my bedroom.

"We have time, just try. Better get it off your chest," I encouraged, turning my attention back to her.

She opened her mouth but struggled to say anything, promptly closing it and attempting again with no success. I waited patiently as she gathered herself, taking another deep breath before rubbing the back of her neck, a pained expression on her face.

"Did I tell you how fucked up I am?" she started, a rather strange question.

"A couple times, yeah."

"Well, I'm like really, really fucked up," she reiterated with the same thing.

I remained silent, giving her the space to continue with her seemingly redundant explanations. I knew she would eventually reach what she wanted to talk about.

"I'm so fucked up, the more I think about it." She exposed her neck and pointed to the spot where her cursed seal is, even if it didn't work anymore. "This shit is not even the beginning of this whole shitshow that is my life, you know?"

I nodded, trying to be as understanding as possible with her.

The red-head covered her inert cursed seal with a pained look, then dropped her body onto the bed, groaning.

"You always were pestering me with my fucked up life," she mumbled, a hint of frustration in her voice. "So FINE! You win, asshole!"

I frowned but chose to remain silent. She couldn't be interrupted when she was venting. But I recalled our past meetings, and I had only asked her twice because she gave me an option to ask her something. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Remember when I told you back in Tanzaku gai? How fucked up shit that happened?" she asked, slowly getting up and meeting my gaze with a sad smile.

"I do."

And then she erupted, her hands shooting up in the air in a display of raw frustration. "Look at me! Look at this bastard Uzumaki failure of an experiment!" she spat out, standing abruptly and jabbing a finger accusingly at herself. "LOOK AT ME!"

I met her gaze, watching her pant with rage, her enraged expression unwavering as she ground her teeth together.

"I am an Uzumaki, a goddamn bastardized joke of an Uzumaki!" she yelled, her voice echoing between the walls. "WHY DO YOU THINK I HATED THAT SNAKE PIECE OF SHIT?!" she roared, her voice carrying the weight of many years of resentment.

With her anger more alive than ever, she continued her tirade, pacing back and forth. "I am not a real Uzumaki. I just have this fucking red hair, that's it. Just a stupid girl born with red hair, but noooooooooo, that piece of shit didn't believe that and thought maybe JUST MAYBE I was some sort of distant bastard from some old fart whoring out!"

All her revelations hit me with surprise. That meant she wasn't really related to Naruto or Karin, debunking all my past assumptions that had formed.

Tayuya's pacing slowed, and she took a deep breath, attempting to steady herself, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

"And you know what's the worst part?" she exclaimed, her voice teetering on the edge of despair. "I believed that shit. I started questioning who I was, where I came from, all because that snake bastard was sooo fucking convinced I was some forsaken byproduct of a whore spreading her legs."

She then sank onto the bed, exhaustion etched across her face. The room seemed to echo with the remnants of her outburst.

"I am so happy he's dead, that he suffered…" She paused, her hands gripping the bed sheets underneath her, as her knuckles turned white. "I just wish I was the one to kill that bastard or his damn sex toy."

Tayuya fell silent again, and then she surprised me by grabbing my hand and carefully placing it on her chest—not on her breasts, but right in the middle. Immediately, I felt a pulse, catching my full interest.

"Your heart is in the middle?" I asked before activating my Sharingan as I focused on her. And to increase the number of surprises, her heart was indeed situated right in the middle, and also detecting strange chakra flow.

How had I never noticed this before? I did CPR on her. I should have noticed at that moment. But I was too distracted in helping to actually bother with those details.

"He has been experimenting on my body as far as I can remember," she explained, releasing my hand. "He replaced all my organs with another Uzumaki's, probably thinking I could inherit something, or develop shit. I don't fucking care."

I noticed her trembling hand as she talked, her gaze fixed downward. "I-it wasn't a single surgery. O-or just a couple days of experiments…."

With those same trembling hands, she hugged herself.

"Sasuke..." she looked up to me, her eyes searching mine. "Is it really wrong to feel happy?"

I recoiled in surprise, never expecting to hear such a question from her. I took a moment, looking away and delving deep into thought. "It isn't wrong to feel happy," I responded, choosing my words carefully. After a brief pause, I added, "Happiness is not a reward; not as we think what a reward is. We are entitled to happiness, no matter our past."

Did I deserve that?

"Do I even deserve that shit?" she snorted, a bitter edge to her voice.

I only stared at her

"Right, shit question, of course I deserve it!" She laughed, the sound carrying a hint of bitterness before fading into silence. However, I couldn't ignore the tears welling up in her eyes. "I survived everything this shit world has thrown at me. I'm the fucking best! FUCK YOU! FUCK THE SHINIGAMI!"

Without a word, I reached out, gently cupping her right cheek. She tensed, but I wiped away those tears with my thumb before pulling her close to my chest. I rocked us back and forth. I didn't know why I did that. I just knew I had to do it.

That simple gesture was all she needed. At first, she choked back a sob, fighting against her emotions. However, no one could endure indefinitely, and she was no exception. Eventually, she succumbed to her emotions, perhaps, for the first time in her life, and let everything out.

I glanced back at my window, the sun nearly vanishing from view. We had missed breakfast, and some people might already be questioning our whereabouts. However, a delay of one or two hours wouldn't harm anyone, and we could easily combine breakfast with lunch.

It came as no surprise that we found ourselves lying together in bed, Tayuya snuggled against my shoulder. She had a lot of bottled up, but why did she choose to vent with me? Why not someone else?

Hell, even Naruto would have been a better companion for that kind of thing. Although, on second thought, he would have been a terrible support, likely spouting nonsense and positivity that would have earned him a punch to the face.

I didn't take advantage of her, at least I don't think I did. Everything that had happened in such a short amount of time clearly shook her, and it all finally caught up to her in a cathartic release.

My involvement was merely the final push.

"Better?" I asked, nudging her a little.

The red-head nodded, offering a small smile. "I…really thank you for staying with me."

My hand reached for her exposed cheek, gently caressing it, causing her to close her eyes and savor the touch. "Just don't go around telling everyone about this side of me."

She threw her head back in laughter and playfully slapped my chest. "Fuck you, Uchiha!"

I rolled my eyes in exasperation, secretly glad to have her back. I couldn't deny that I had developed a soft spot for her bitchy attitude.

"Say princess, what are we now?"

I raised my head and looked at her with a difficult expression, because I had never expected that kind of question from her.

"I don't know." I curtly answered.

She angrily slapped my chest. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, asshole," she groaned, running a hand across her face. "Try to be serious for once."

My expression darkened, transforming my frown into a scowl that simmered with anger. In a swift, almost instinctive motion, I seized her wrist, rolling my body until I was on top of her, getting a surprised yelp to escape her lips.

As I looked down, her disheveled hair sprawled across the bed, I firmly held her wrists on either side of her head, ensuring she couldn't get away.

"I never joke, Tayuya." I growled. "I simply don't know. You've seen me what kind of person I am and what you should expect from me. How fucked up I am and what kind of fucked up things I am capable of doing."

She averted her gaze, unable to meet my intense stare.

"Tayuya, if you have forgotten, I am also fucking your best friend. And will continue to do so when we return to Konoha..."

Alright, fuck… That sounded way better in my head.

Surprisingly, she didn't seem offended or hurt by my blunt comment; instead, she sighed in defeat. "I get it, idiot. Maybe it's too soon to dive into this kind of shit."

"I couldn't agree more." I released her wrist and shifted back, taking a seat on the bed.

She also moved, sitting up beside me. "Hungry? I know a good place."

A chuckle escaped me at the abrupt change of topic, finding it amusing and a welcome break. "Thought you'd never ask."

Before we could stand up and leave the bed, the tranquility was shattered, as my window was forcefully thrown open from the outside. "HEY, SASUKE, WHAT'S TAKING YOU-"

Both of us turned around to find the blonde idiot standing there, mouth hanging open like a complete fool.

My companion was quick to cover herself. "FUCKING KNOCK YOU SHITHEAD!"

Remembering that I wasn't alone in this stupid village, I let out a tired sigh, rubbing my temples to brace myself for another headache. "You couldn't have come at a worse time, dobe."

Except…

He didn't say anything

Naruto just turned around and left.

This was DEFINITELY not blowing up on my face later.

AN: So I said that I didn't want to write lewds for this story a long time ago, but after writing one for Shards of Reminisce, I felt liberated from that rule. Also, because I got another platform to write in or repost my works with no worries of ever being suddenly purged. And I felt like, why not? Your comments and opinions are appreciated too!

I needed something to set up the talk with Tayuya and make it as awkward as possible for her and represent how fucked up this relationship actually is. Never stick your dick in crazy.

A bit of a serious note though, sorry for taking too long, which is another reason why I wrote a lewd chapter, because I know you guys like that stuff. WINK and I've been working on other stories, not just SR. I will eventually post the other story here, but I am stacking chapters for a mass release and also improving as much as I can with the whole grammar thing, which now I hope is acceptable levels as hopefully there aren't war crimes in the new chapters.

And to look shameless, you can buy me some kof,e if you feel generous! Much better and simpler than the dreaded P word, but since it is tagged NSFW, you will have to write it directly on the link
