Warmth

Still not mine. Newly edited chapter. Hope it's alright ^.^

Sakura grinned and freed her hands. She ran off laughing, reaching the shower in her room before he could catch her. She was still grinning to herself as she stripped and grabbed a towel from the closet beside the bath. (Hm, I wonder what kind of trouble I could cause while training. I wonder if he /is/ ticklish while he's sparring. Could be fun to find out.)


************************************************************************
In his own room, also getting ready for a shower, Naruto shivered and looked towards Sakura's room. (I just know she's plotting something.)

************************************************************************

After her shower, brushing her teeth and getting dressed in clothes she didn't mind potentially getting ruined by dust or the stray weapon while unpacking, she went out and fixed herself a drink and some breakfast. As she sat at the table she thought about how she had woken up nice and warm against Naruto again. She let herself daze off as she wrapped her hands around her cup, thinking about the first time she'd stolen heat from him. (*Not that he protested a lot.*)

Sakura made a face, it was cold and wet, two things she despised being. (At least I'm not as bad off as Sasuke and Kakashi. Sasuke is even grumpier than usual. Kakashi is bored because he can't read his book. And Naruto, dammit, looks like he's nice and warm. He doesn't even have his jacket closed all the way.) She could see the water dripping off the normally spiky blond hair, even Sasuke and Kakashi's hair were soaked enough they had given in to the weight of the water. She had been behind Kakashi, but even though he was taller it didn't help her stay any dryer.

So she was currently walking beside Naruto, her expression a combination of annoyance and resignation. Therefore he was the only one close enough to catch her when she sneezed and slipped on some mud. He slipped his arms under Sakura's, managing somehow to catch her around the waist and not somewhere she'd smack him for once she had her balance back. (*Lucky bastard. Waaaaiiit. He is nice and warm. Hide under his jacket!*) Sakura beat Inner Sakura back before looking up at Naruto; just registering he had asked her something.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks Naruto." She registered that Inner Sakura was looking rather smug as she insinuated herself under Naruto's arm and jacket.

"Ah...warmth." She looked up when Naruto froze in place, then looked over at Kakashi as she heard a sound suspiciously like a snicker. Sasuke just arched an eyebrow and turned to keep walking. She looked up, the shocked look on Naruto's face was worth it.
"Come on, we're almost back." At the sound of her voice he jumped slightly before grinning.

"Right." He slipped his arm over her shoulder hesitantly, when she didn't hit him, he held her against him as he walked.

After a little while of walking with him, she sighed mentally. (This is awkward.) (*Awkward but warm, you aren't going to move are you?*) (No. But it's still hard to walk.) Just as she was muttering mentally at Inner Sakura, she felt Naruto come to a stop. Curiosity made her look up. (*Ah, why'd he have to get so tall?*) (It does feel weird to have to look /up/ at him now.)

"Naruto?" He smiled and fidgeted a bit, then suddenly picked her up. An eep escaped her as her arms went around his neck. He shifted her slightly so she was against his side still at least mostly under the jacket and she wrapped her legs around his waist. (Oooh god this is embarrassing.) Inner Sakura nearly screamed as she smiled and punched the air, (*Training and stamina and muscles oh my!*) Sakura hid her face against Naruto's shoulder, barely catching the blush on his face as he started walking again. (I had no idea I was such a per- wait, no, I'm safe. I'm not reading Icha Icha yet.)

Sakura blinked, Naruto was back and waving a hand in front of her face. "Sakura? Are you alright?" She shifted slightly, watching him dry his hair with a towel in his free hand.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just remembering the first time I used you as a heater." She grinned when he blushed.

She stood and they walked to the living room to sit down as they talked. Sakura decided to sit on the couch that was quickly becoming her favorite piece of furniture in the space.

"That was nice. My favorite was when you hunted me up in that tavern though." This time it was Sakura who blushed.

"It was really really cold! I couldn't believe you had just left me in the room like that."

"The look on the faces of the people I was talking to when you pounced me and nearly knocked me off the chair was kind of funny though." He grinned and she closed her eyes, sticking her tongue out at him, her cheeks still red.

She was just about to reply and open her eyes when she felt something soft brush against her lips. She jumped slightly and opened her eyes, finding Naruto's blue ones inches away.

"N-Naruto?"
(*What are you, Hinata? Say it without stuttering woman! It wasn't even a real kiss.*) (...Shut up.) She muttered at Inner Sakura as she watched Naruto's face. He flinched and started to move away, and she saw her hand come up without really thinking about it. He apparently had braced himself for a smack, and so was unprepared for when it grasped the front of his shirt and tugged him back over. The sudden movement made him brace himself against the couch behind her on his arms. This time, he was the one about to speak and find words cut off by a kiss.

Sakura hesitantly moved her mouth against his, and his lips parted, and the feel of his tongue sliding against hers made her moan softly and lean towards him. He brought his arms around her and pressed closer, so she moved hers around his waist. After a few moments pressed together in that heated kiss, during which Inner Sakura was staring in awe, Sakura drew back. Her emerald eyes were clouded, and she licked her lips before asking, "W-where the heck did you learn to kiss like that?"
*******************************************************************************

She thought she saw him blush, but it was hard to tell since his cheeks had been a little red already.
"Uhm, well.." He stuttered and tried to move away, sitting down and scooting over a bit on the couch. She arched an eyebrow and went with him, straddling his lap so he couldn't escape. She let her hands rest on his hips so her fingers were lightly splayed against his back.
(Why is he so squirmy about this?) (*Bet you a turn with Naruto that it was a guy!*) (I shouldn't, but, fine.) Sakura waited, her hands playing with a bit of bare skin on his lower back because she couldn't sit still.

"S-stop that... It was Kiba." He squirmed a bit, she could tell it was only partially from embarrassment. Inner Sakura smirked triumphantly, after having a moment in which both her jaw and Outer Sakura's dropped. (*I told you!*) (Yeah yeah..)

"Kiba?" She asked as she wriggled to get comfortable or at least a bit more so. Her actions drawing a groan from Naruto.

"Yes.."

"I get details later." She said before leaning in again, her hands sliding into his hair as she kissed him again. He relaxed against her and she was able to make him move so that he was on his back beneath her. As she lazily explored the details of his mouth she was able to enjoy the various sounds she could get him to make by moving her hands through his hair. (*Mmm, either he eats more than ramen ninty percent of the time, or the sweet sunshine taste is natural.*)

Sakura gasped as the long fingers of one hand tangled in her hair and tilted her head to the side, Naruto's mouth leaving hers. He trailed kisses down her jaw to her neck, a sharp, careful application of his teeth to her skin made her arch her back towards him. Tiny pinpricks in her scalp barely registered in her mind. She simply relaxed and gave herself over to Naruto, moving enough herself to rid him of his shirt so her hands could move over bare skin.

A growl vibrated against her neck from his mouth as he sat up a little, his free hand moved against her back, and she suddenly found herself naked from the waist up. (H-how...ohhh god..) Her thoughts were redirected as he slid his tongue over her right nipple, the simple action making the small nub harden from the sensation. Eager to return the favor, her hands slid up from where they had stopped on his stomach to stroke over both of his.

She reflexively rocked against him when she felt his hips move at the same time his hands slid down her sides, under her loose pants to cup her ass. The combined moves sent her pants and underwear down to the middle of her thighs. Nails delicately moved over her inner thighs as he moved his hands lower.

His low voice when he said, "You're already so wet." made her moan softly and try to move against his hands. He lifted her and headed for the closest bedroom. He gently set her down on the bed, and she watched as Naruto leaned in to nibble at her neck again and she whimpered, would have missed his question if his lips had not traced them on her skin.

"Do you trust me?" She nodded, she had trusted Naruto with her life countless times before, she knew she could trust him with her body, and after his countless declarations of love and attempts to prove it, knew her heart was safe. He groaned when she nodded and shifted her to remove the rest of her clothes. Not that there was much left to go. The look on his face made her sigh softly and reach out a hand to stroke over his cheek.

"Naruto." She said softly, and he leaned in, brushing a gentle kiss to her lips. Before she could draw him into a deeper kiss he had moved on, light barely there kisses to tease her senses as he trailed down her neck to her shoulder. A sharp nip to her skin made her arch against him.

She slipped a hand into his hair, stroking the surprisingly soft strands as he set about leaving his mark on her skin. She gasped and squirmed against him as he slid his tongue over the sensitized area. Green painted nails skimmed down warm tan skin to the hem of his pants, tugging on them.

"Off." His breath puffed against her skin when he chuckled, drawing another gasp as it cooled her skin.

He stood up next to the bed and hooked his thumbs under the hem. He grinned when he caught her watching him heatedly and slowly pulled them down. Sakura licked her lips at the newly exposed skin. (*Oh god, what if they practiced more than kissing?*) She shivered, (Don't know if I'll survive.) (*What a way to go!*) She grinned mentally, hoping they did, because an erection like that shouldn't have been allowed to go to waste. Plus it would make for good details later, and possibly more sex.

Once the hated pants were gone, honestly, why he wore clothes was beyond her...She reached out a hand and skimmed it down a hip before pulling him back towards her. Sakura sat up slightly as his knees hit the bed and looked up at him, letting him see the heat he'd created. In response she got a smile and his hand stroked through her hair.

Naruto moved back over her, quickly claiming her lips in another kiss as he let his hands move down to cup her breasts. A soft moan escaped her lips into his mouth when he teased her nipples by sliding his thumbs over them repeatedly. Her noise of complaint when he left her mouth was quickly silenced when he slid his tongue over one of the nipples he'd been teasing. Hands found their way back into his hair to hold on as he switched between them for a few moments before continuing further down her body. She tensed and tried to arch her back when he kissed her hip but he moved his hands to hold her hips in place.

"N-naruto?" She gasped as she looked down at him, he wasn't really going to do that, was he?

His almost feral grin made her whimper and shift as he spread her legs wider before ducking his head down between her thighs. Emerald eyes widened, her head pressing back into the pillows as she felt his tongue sliding over her clit. Familiar tension started swirling within her as he continued his sensual torment upon her body. Every touch felt intensified, the tiny pricks in her skin where his nails were digging in lightly, his hair shifting against her inner thighs nearly drove her to distraction by itself. She stroked her hand through his hair, tangling it in it momentarily at a particular trick he performed with his tongue. Her other hand brushed against the tip of his ear and he moaned against her, making her attempt to thrust her hips up to his mouth.

“Y-yes.. Naru~to.” She gasped and tried to squirm against him. She felt him chuckle against her and screamed as the added sensation sent her over the edge. As she came down she looked down at him while he slowly moved back up her body.

“Sakura…” He trailed off, looking at her meaningfully. She moaned softly as his erection brushed against her entrance.

“Mmm, yes, Naruto.” She nearly purred, leaning up to meet him as he kissed her again. Her lips parted and his tongue slid into her mouth as he slowly thrust himself into her. She gasped into the kiss once he was completely inside, shifting to bring her legs up around his waist. He pushed up onto his forearms so he was looking down at her, his blue eyes dark as he smiled at her. Her back arched as she rocked her hips against him, wrapping her arms around his neck to bring him back down a little closer. As he started to move with her, she leaned up and nipped at his neck, aiming to leave marks of her own.

His low growl reverberated against her mouth and he leaned into her, his arms wrapping around her shoulders. The change in position made her tuck her head against his neck and her moans were muffled against his skin. Her hands clawed at his shoulders, searching for purchase. Naruto didn’t move faster or harder, just so deep it was just this side of pain. So gentle it brought tears to her eyes as the physical pleasure started to overwhelm her senses. With one last thrust together she shattered in his arms, crying out with him at the feeling of him coming inside of her.

A little while later, after having cleaned up and laying down again without talking to the other, they both curled up facing each other. Sakura glanced over at Naruto, and then to relieve the slight tension in the air she said. "That was one of my favorite shirts you know." Naruto suddenly looked at her, disbelief in his blue eyes. Then he smiled.
"It was? How can I make it up to you?" She laughed and flung herself against him, slinging an arm over his waist. "I think you can start with details about you and Kiba."
