Beneficial Friends

Two months later...







Tenten studied the shelves quietly, considering the various choices presented in sharpening stones. She preferred natural to reconstructed or manufactured, yet it was growing increasingly harder to find natural stones. Frowning she selected two stones, judging the weight and coarseness.



"Damn it..." Mumbling she narrowed her eyes and then shifted her attention to the doorway, swearing that she had just seen a flash of familiar orange. There was nothing there however, frowning she turned back to her stones yet couldn't quite shake the feeling that she was being watched.



Suddenly it felt like someone was standing directly behind her and she spun, a weapon leaving one of it's many hidden locations. Only....there was nothing behind her. There wasn't even a hint that someone had been standing there. Was she loosing her mind or was her imagination just running wild?



"This is his fault...damn ramen freak." Tenten muttered, half-fondly and half-annoyed. It had been awkward for her, always expecting Naruto to slip up and reveal what they'd done together, but as time passed it lessened.



A more serious problem was the strange feelings Tenten had whenever around the blond. Most notably an uneasy tightening in her chest and a tendency to stare at him. Added to this was her bodies new found demand that Naruto and only Naruto take care of her cravings.



"That's why its called friends with benefits." Tenten muttered, blushing faintly as she tried to concentrate on the stones in her hands. Then much to her surprise a pair of strong arms wrapped around her from behind a chin came to rest on her shoulder.



"Heya Tenten." Naruto said casually staring at the stones, one of his hands dipping dangerously close to her crotch. "What'ca doin?"



"S-shopping." Tenten managed, her blush intensifying as her body reported how exactly he felt against her. Stomping those thoughts and strange feelings down she held the stones up. "Which one do you think?"



"Iunno, never buy these things. Easier to just buy new kunai, I run through them like most people do shurikan." Naruto said, beginning to stroke her through her clothes.



"N-naruto...s-sto...oh kami no don't sto...p-please stop...oh kami..." Tenten panted, realizing what would happen if he kept this up. Thankfully he stopped and stepped away from her, which bought her a moment to recover, take a breath and force her blush away.



"So what brings you by?"



"Huh? Oh." Naruto said scratching his cheek. "Wanted to see you actually..."



Tenten smiled and then turned leading him toward the counter where she bought both stones. Turning she handed him one, and then headed back out onto the street with him at her side. "So what'd you want see me about?"



Naruto glanced at her and then back to the crowd around them, the stone in his pocket along with his hands. "Just wanted to see if you'd like to come over and hang out..."



"Sure, doesn't sound like a bad idea." Tenten said with a slight smile. "So what'd you have in mind for us to do while just hanging out?"



"Well no reason really, just getting lonely I guess. Sakura's always out with Hinata, doing whatever it is they do together," Naruto explained before a slightly perverted gleam appeared in his eye as he apparently pictured exactly what they did together. "Everybody else is always busy to. Plus, you're cool and I really like spending time without, even without...the benefits."



Tenten smiled, glancing at the blond then blinked. Tenten silently swore that he was staring at her searchingly, as if he wanted something from her, something that he wasn't comfortable actually saying. Tenten felt she knew what he was wanting, what he needed.



Leaning forward she gave him a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth then leaned back blushing faintly.



"I'll see you around seven at the usual spot," Tenten kept her voice light, trying to keep from letting her confusion bleed through. "...and try to behave."



He blushed, bowing with a comical flourish. "I always behave!"



"Mhmmm," Tenten managed with a teasing grin and she was rewarded with a laugh before he turned and disappeared into the crowd. Shaking her head she turned, ignoring the stares she was receiving and entered the shop.



Why had she kissed him in public, the street...where anyone could see? She didn't have an answer and really, she didn't want one. Instead she concentrated on searching for a new weapon holster, putting her worry for her friendship with Naruto in the back of her mind.



Tenten completely missed a Chunin named Yamanaka Ino, staring after her with a slight scowl, on the other side of the street.







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Naruto had never felt embarrassed about his small, unimpressive apartment before. Then again the only people other than himself who had seen it were the ones he considered family; Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi and Sakura. Not even Ino or Hinata had seen his place, mainly because for all of his attention seeking through the years, Naruto had always believed that where you lived was a very private matter.



Which explained his embarrassment of walking Tenten through the less than wholesome neighborhood. It was a harsh place to see, the buildings were crowded together many looking as if they were ready to fall in. The streets were rough and the sidewalk strewn with litter, most notably of all were the various rough looking me and one woman that was the very definition of a 'working girl'.



It was all old hat to Naruto, he had grown up in this place, he knew most everyone by name but Tenten seemed shocked. Then again Sakura had been shocked too when she first came over, Tsunade had been less than happy about it but since he owned the building he lived in -squatters rights or some such- she left it to him.



Growing more self-conscious about his neighborhood Naruto picked up the pace, almost willing to kick the door to his building down to get them some place less harsh. It wasn't until they were inside and climbing the slightly creaking stairs that Tenten said anything. "Uhh...Naruto, not to be rude but...why the hell did you ever decide to live in this place?"



Naruto shrugged, reaching the top floor before heading down the long, off white hallway for his room. "Well...this place used to be an orphanage. They moved and left me behind, so I just never left which according to baa-chan means that technically I own this whole building."



"...You own the building?"



"Huh? Yea." Naruto said shrugging as they reached the door to his apartment and he opened it while hitting the light switch. "No big...I know it's not much but its home."



"Its fine," Tenten said with a smile, following him through the door. Her gaze swept the small apartment, and then she grinned at him.



Naruto grinned back, "Want something to drink? I got, well milk and water..."



"Nah, I'm good." Tenten said with a wave of her hand, heading for the couch.



Naruto smiled and followed after her, resuming the conversation from earlier. Tenten grinning flopped on the couch, talking happily with him. Their conversation ranging from the inane to the profound or at least as profound as Naruto got.



He wasn't sure how, but some how during their conversation she wound up sitting in the floor and he began rubbing her shoulders. It was a friendly massage, not that he could do much else. He had never really massaged anyone, just read about it in books.



Still Tenten was reacting favorably, almost purring under his touch, her head lolling forward to offer him even more surface to touch and knead. Between her encouraging moans and noises, they drifted to their friends and other inane topics and Naruto realized absently that he hadn't actually talked to anyone like this for a while.



Naruto wasn't sure how long this went on until the suddenly turned, looking up at him from her spot on the floor. Some part of mind warned him that he might have set off her trigger. Tenten seemed to have a very active sex-drive and almost anything he did, if he wasn't careful, could set it off.



Of course his own drive wasn't much better and just by her being there could set it off, still this was suppose to be just a friendly night together.



When Tenten slid her hands up his thighs, a teasing grin on her face, Naruto realized that friendship had just gone out the window. She was like a predator the way she eased her way up, her face coming within inches of his before she settled into his lap a leg on either side of him.



Tilting his head, the blond stared up into her smoldering brown eyes, knowing friendship was the last thing on her mind. "Ten-"



Naruto started to say until she leaned down, capturing his lips in a passionate kiss. Whatever protest Naruto might have been about to offer was wash away in the feelings that evoked within him. Breaking the kiss she grinned at him, eyes alit with an all too familiar fire.



"Naruto-kun," Tenten purred, grinding herself into his lap "would you like to show me your bedroom?" Naruto nodded, not trusting his ability to speak. Tenten grinned, kissing him yet again before climbing slowly to her feet.



Yep, so much for friendship, Naruto thought dazedly as he climbed to his feet and guided her to his room.







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Tenten entered the room, her hips swaying enticingly. She could hear Naruto stumbling after her, sensing the weight of his eyes on her rear. It was a power trip that was for sure, just a bat of her eyelash or a flash of a smile and the boy fell all over him.



Oh yea, a definite power trip, Tenten thought with a grin feeling his hand brush against her rear as she opened the door to his room.



Leading the way inside she paused, glancing at him as he closed the door. Tenten turned away, strolling through the small room, eyeing his unmade bed and the clothes strewing the floor. Somehow wasn't surprising to discover his room in such a condition. Stopping near the bed she turned, arching an eyebrow as she curled a finger.



Naruto moved forward, eyes bright in the dim light of the room.



Slipping her arms around him, Tenten teasingly kissed the corner of his mouth. Naruto responded by tightening his arms around her, pulling her against him. She could feel Naruto through their clothes, and the pressure on her breasts was very pleasant.



Tenten shifted slightly, moving so that Naruto's leg was between hers and her crotch pressed against his thigh. She pressed the length of her body against Naruto, squeezing him in her arms, and found the edge of his teeth with her tongue.



She felt her nipples rubbing against the fabric of her silk shirt and Tenten groaned a low, deep moan into Naruto's mouth and pushed her hips forward and down, grinding herself against Naruto's leg.



"Naruto," Tenten gasped breaking the kiss, his hands caressing her back, soothing her muscles.



"Do," Naruto said thickly, eyes dark with lust "do you want to..."



"Of course I do," Tenten panted, grinding against his leg as she started fumbling with his shirt.



Naruto nodded allowing her to pull his shirt off, and then undid her silk blouse. Tenten arched her body into his then moved upwards. Tenten gasped as a chill ran up her spine, and then Naruto covered her lips with his. Their hands weren't idle however and before long they had finished undressing each other.



Somehow Tenten ended up on the bed with Naruto half on top of her. How she got there she honestly couldn’t remember but at the moment she was far from caring. Only one thing mattered to her right now, and that one thing was in the process of nibbling his way down to her more sensitive regions.



His hands moved across her skin, leaving warmth behind, gasping when he molded her breasts with his warm hands. Her body pressing upwards to intensify the sensation of his hands on her soft, delicate skin. Naruto seemed engrossed in his actions, kissing her throat softly, drawing a choked sigh from her body.



It wasn't until he suddenly pulled away, the sudden lack of sensations worrying her, that she realized her wrists were stuck over her head. Blinking she tilted her head back to stare at her wrists, wondering how he had managed to handcuff her like that. Looking back at him she blinked, opening her mouth to object when he climbed out of bed and headed for her pile of clothes.



"Naruto?"



The blond turned, holding her forehead protector in hand, a grin on his face. "So...how much do you trust me Tenten?"



"What are you talking about?" Tenten asked, a tad nervous as he padded back to her, his body captivating her. It was just so...then she blinked, realizing he was back on the bed, his mouth near her ear.



"Do you trust me Ten-chan?"



The weapons mistress blinked, blushing slightly then gasped as his lips touched the valley between her breasts. She felt the warmth of his lips at the tips of her breasts, warm and moist, bringing her flesh alive at his touch.



"Do you trust me?" Naruto repeated, lifting his head to stare her in the eyes.



Tenten hesitated; she had no clue what he was going to do. Still they had spent a lot of time together, enjoying this beneficial friendship and her heart was pounding and she could feel her body tingling in anticipation.



"I trust you..."



She watched him as he moved back up, her breath quickened as she saw the devilish gleam in his eye, as he slipped her forehead protector over her eyes. It was the sort of gleam he usually wore right before he conquered her completely; it made her shiver in anticipation. Eyes now covered she tried to peek but found it impossible, it appeared she would have to wait and see what the blond had in mind for her tonight.



That was when she felt his fingers touch her breast, slowly massaging and kneading.



His touch sent what felt like electricity through her and she made an encouraging noise. Then she felt him slide one hand down her stomach, a slow intimate caress that caused the muscles to quiver. Then, with no warning, he slipped that very hand between he legs and a finger into her and there was nothing Tenten could do to stop the passionate cry that escaped her.



She arched wantonly against his palm and went stiff when his thumb brushed her clit while his finger worked her into frenzy. She could hear her hoarse cries, hear the mindless sentences she managed to mutter and then she felt the coiling, the pleasure tightening deep within her.



She begged him, sobbing from the need for the release. Then just when she was just about to climax, he removed his hand prompting Tenten to lift her hips involuntarily seeking contact with his fingers. She couldn't see him, but she could hear his breathing and the feeling of his fingers making light contact with her. "P-please...Oh kami! Please, Naruto, I'll do anything!"



She felt the bed shift at this and then she felt his mouth close around her right breast, his teeth grazing her nipple. She cried out hoping that the sweet torture would never end. Then for a brief moment it did, much to her disappointment, which was soon replaced as he moved to the other, lavishing it with the same attention.



She thought it couldn’t get any better, couldn’t drive her any closer to mindlessness then she already was. Then she felt him stop and begin to kiss and nibble its way down her body, through the valley of her breasts, tortuously over her taut stomach. Gulping she tensed, her heart skipping a beat when he came to a stop just above her waist and spoke.



"...You've been a very naughty Konoha ninja haven't you...?”



"Y-yes..." Tenten gasped, desperate for him to continue.



"Hokage-sama," Naruto said, kissing along her inner thigh. "Call me Hokage-sama..."



"Hokage-sama!" Tenten said thickly, her legs spreading to make room for him. When his mouth came into teasing contact with her she gasped loudly in delight. This was the first time anyone had ever done this to her...He caressed her first with fingers, then with tongue. With her hands cuffed to the head board she was defenseless before his onslaught, and he took full advantage of the fact.



Her body was reporting so many sensations, his lips and tongue lavishing so much attention. Bucking her crotch against his mouth she panted and mewled, wrapping her legs instinctively around his head. Her muscles felt so tight, and Naruto was working almost feverishly probing and teasing her until with one last loud wail she went crashing over the edge into an orgasm.



He didn't pause once until she had stopped, Tenten was lost on a cloud of bliss until she felt him kissing his way back up her body. A minute later her headband was taken away and she stared up into those blue eyes, aware that he was grinning like the fox that had ate the canary.



"W-where did you-" Tenten managed, struggling to breathe normal.



Leaning down he put his mouth near her ear, his voice husky. "I asked Hinata,"



Tenten flushed slightly at the knowledge, but said nothing else. She was definitely not going to bad mouth anything that let Naruto do that to her. She made a throaty noise as he nibbled her earlobe, wondering if he would be uncuffing her anytime soon.



"Now that the...appetizer’s out of the way," Naruto said teasingly as he sat up, hands grasping her hips. "I think we need to move on to the main course."



"Aha," Tenten panted, coiling in anticipation. "My wrist's Naru-kun?"



"You agreed you were a naughty Kunoichi," Naruto in response grinned, grinding his arousal against her. "I don't think I should be uncuffing you...at least, not until you surrender to me."



Tenten stared up at him, her body responding to his touch on its own. Mentally, through her haze of lust and desire, she realized that he was playing a game. Where he had learned it she had no clue, but...as games went, it wasn't so bad...but she also understood the game was stacked in his favor. Hokage's never surrendered after all...but really, all that mattered was how many orgasms she could get out of this before she caved.



Grinning Tenten lifted her hips to buck against him teasingly. "Ah, Hokage-sama, I'll never surrender..."



With a small grin, Naruto positioned himself at her entrance, then after a moments hesitation plunged forward. Tenten gasped slightly but otherwise made no sound, determined to enjoy the boy plundering her body in silence. Tenten however, had forgotten that Naruto knew her body rather intimately by now. She was forcibly reminded when he set a quick pace that had her moaning and crying out in passion within minutes.



Within another moment, she began to rock her hips against him, while he massaged and teased her breast. Bound as she was, Tenten thrashed in passion, but she clung desperately to her mantra of not submitting. Naruto however was not to be denied and soon he shifted gears, his pace becoming slow and torturous.



Tenten cursed mentally even as she moaned, unable to believe he knew how to play her body so expertly. It wasn't long before he was moving faster once more, his head dipping down to allow his mouth to engulf a nipple. Tenten writhed beneath him in ecstasy, her mantra beginning to fade beneath her pleasure.



Suddenly, Tenten was rocked with spasms of pleasure, her body thrashing beneath him in the throes of passion. Dimly she was aware of his body tensing, she could feel Naruto reach his own release, could hear him moaning her name. Tenten had no clue how long that moment lasted; all she knew was that they were both crying out in climax.



It seemed like forever before they came off their high, and when they did, they lay breathlessly on the bed, with Naruto's body pressing down rather comfortably against hers. They kissed tenderly as they snuggled that way until Tenten languidly spoke up.



"I didn't submit Hokage-sama...maybe you should try again..."



"I was just thinking that," Naruto admitted his fingers tracing the outline of her body.



"Mhmm," Tenten said looking at him teasingly. "Careful Hokage-sama or you'll be submitting to me..."







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Being a ninja meant you reacted to the slightest shift in environment, it often saved your life when you woke up in the middle of the night because the insects had stopped. Tonight however, it was merely an annoyance that woke up Tenten. She had been deep within the confines of sleep, snuggled up against Naruto happily basking in the post-orgasmic sleep of bliss.



Then she had registered a cold chill and she woke up to discover that Naruto was hogging the blankets and had his face buried in a pillow. Tenten, snorting softly, tried to wrestle the cover free of the boy, but wound up falling out of the bed with a soft thump. Grumbling she climbed to her feet, rubbing her wounded butt, then grasping her pillow threw it at the back of his head.



"Whazzit?" Naruto mumbled looking around sleepily in confusion.



"Go back to sleep you bed hog." Tenten said huffily before turning to walk out of his bedroom. Now that she was alone, Tenten gave his apartment a critical appraisal, it wasn't that bad actually. Stumbling down the hallway she squinted to read the clock on the wall, surprised to find that she had spent the whole night at his place. That was first, but it was definitely not going to be a last.



Her mind however was derailed by the need for caffeine and Tenten happily obliged by heading into the kitchen. It was then that she learned Naruto had no coffee or soft drinks, just milk and water...which could explain why Naruto was so lean...Tenten blushed faintly, reflecting on the boy's body. Shaking it off Tenten grumbled slightly and leaned against the counter rubbing her temples.



It looked like she would have to run out to find something to drink and if she was going out, she had best check with the sleeping boy to see if he wanted anything. The weapons mistress paused, thinking absently that she was starting to sound like a girlfriend. Which wasn't a bad prospect really, Naruto was a great guy...and he sure as hell knew how to get her motor running...and it wasn't like they were seeing other peop-



Her thoughts were derailed by the sound of a soft click, like someone opening a door attempting to be unheard. Instinct kicked in and Tenten grabbed the first weapon she found, a pair of chopsticks, and rushed into the hallway to face the intruder.



She was blinded as the lights came on...



...then mortified to hear the familiar voice of Sakura. "OH MY! TENTEN?!"



Tenten blushed, no longer concerned with attacking and instead with covering up her exposed flesh. To compound matters of course, Naruto stumbled into view sans clothes and was scratching his head sleepily. "Ten-chan, are you coming back to bed?"



"Naruto?!" Sakura said in a squeaky voice.



The blond turned, stared at Sakura and then blinked. "Oh, er....hi Sakura-chan..."



"Kami help me," Tenten whimpered, blushing brighter with each passing second that Sakura stood there glancing between them with her own faint blush.
