Make Me Forget

Enter the Clones

Naruto was giving her a love bite on her throat just below her left cheek where it would be easy to see. Sakura was too exhausted to care, lying back on the bed, half-asleep and half-awake, feeling blissful. She felt Naruto lift up his head and his fingers softly brush where he’d been sucking on her skin. Sakura opened her eyes to stare up at Naruto’s blue ones and felt another wave of amazement. Naruto’s eyes, Naruto’s face, how come they seemed so incredibly gorgeous to her now when for years they hadn’t affected her at all?

“What?” asked Naruto.

“I was just wondering how you got to be so sexy,” said Sakura.

“I’m sexy?” asked Naruto, his face lighting up with pleasure.

“Yes, Naruto-kun, you are very, very, very sexy.”

Naruto’s grin got even wider, and his hand still lingered at the mark on her throat. Then with a more serious look he said, “Sakura, please don’t cover this up tomorrow. I need to know this wasn’t just a dream. I won’t have any scratches or marks on me tomorrow to prove it.”

“What if I let you take a pair of my panties with you? Then can I walk around without a big mark on my neck saying, ‘Hey, I’m the slutty medic that has wild sex after she can’t save her patients’?”

“You’re not slutty, Pinkie-chan; you’re going to marry me. And it’s not your fault that genin died—those tigers are savage. Even Anko has gotten clawed up by them! But, yeah, I’ll take your panties with me as long as they are the pair you were wearing when I first got here.”

Sakura blushed and said, “Well, if you want a dirty pair, you can have them, but you’ve got to find them. I don’t know where they went. My place is sort of trashed. I think I might have to get my kitchen table repaired.”

“No worries! See the benefits of being the lover of the great Uzumaki Naruto-sama, future Hokage! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!”

Sakura gasped. It was one thing to fantasize about naked Naruto clones and another to suddenly see four of them in her apartment. Two vanished into the kitchen, one was racing around picking up clothing and water bottles while the other had picked up Naruto’s pants and was using them to wipe up the mess on her desk and the floor. God, his ass was cute.

“You’re checking out my ass, Sakura-chan!” said Naruto. “Admit it, your crazy about my body.”

“I thought I’d already made clear how much I like your body, Baka-chan.”

“Baka-chan? No way are you calling me that, Pinkie!” insisted Naruto and then his stomach very loudly growled, making him blush.

“Oh, Naruto, you didn’t get dinner, did you? Oh, god, I don’t know what I have in the kitchen.”

“Hey no problem, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!” About fifteen more clones appeared in the bedroom, this time clothed. They all raced for the apartment door, and Sakura just watched with her mouth open in shock.

“My god, Naruto, you really are amazing to have that much energy unless you weren’t training today.”

“Silly Sakura-chan, I train everyday with a thousand clones, how is under thirty going to bother me?”

“Under 30 as in more than 20?”

“Yeah, no problem.”

“So what in the world are they doing except, oh my god, Naruto, stop that!” cried Sakura catching a glimpse of the two naked clones still in the bedroom now looking through her dresser drawers and snickering over a bright red thong. She lunged for two of the shuriken on her night table and hurled them at the two clones who poofed out, letting the thong and fall to the floor while the shuriken embedded themselves in the wall behind them.

Naruto was laughing as he scrambled up to pick up the thong. “Let’s see this on,” he said coming back to the bed.

Sakura, however, punched him in the chest, sending him flying back across the room to hit the dresser hard.

“Ok, or not, if you have a problem with that,” said Naruto in confused voice.

“I was just checking to make sure you weren’t a clone,” said Sakura.

“Sakura—I would never do that to you—come on, I’ve been wanting to have sex with you since I was twelve, do you seriously think I’d not be here 100% for the first time?”

“No, but it’s not our first time anymore, and there’s twenty some of you out doing god knows what. What are they doing Naruto?”

Naruto blushed and put his hand up behind his head, “Ah, well, some are getting us some take-out ramen, and some are getting me some clean clothes. Oh, and replacing the vodka I drank.”

“That doesn’t require more than twenty-plus clones—come on, tell me the bad part,” insisted Sakura.

“Why are you assuming there’s a bad part?” Naruto asked, but then grinned when Sakura just stared at him. “Ok, so I sent some to find Tsunade, Kakashi, and Yamata to tell them if they need me before training tomorrow morning, I’ll be over at your place.” Sakura was still waiting. “Ah, well, I sent one to Sai to tell him that if he calls you a hag again, I’ll beat the crap out of him. Oh, and ditto for Konohamaru.” Sakura held up nine fingers to indicate that twenty-plus clones needed yet more explanation. “Alright, alright, I sent one to Lee to tell him he’s not allowed to ask you out any more because you’re dating me now.”

“Oh my god, Naruto, you are going to have a clone wake up Lee-San at this hour to tell him that? Do you know how dumb that is?”

“It’s not dumb! The more people who know we’re going out, the less likely you are to decide this was all a big mistake brought on by alcohol and depression!”

Sakura felt her anger fade away, “Silly boy, come here for a kiss. That’s not going to happen. It took me long enough to get you in my bed; I’m not letting you go so soon. So I take it you weren’t picking up on my signals that I was interested in taking our friendship to a new level?”

Naruto snuggled up to her on the bed and took his kiss, a chaste one, asking eagerly, “You’ve been interested in doing this for a while?”

“Aaah, yeah,” admitted Sakura.

“So, signals, huh, what signals?”

Sakura sighed, “Oh, Naruto, don’t worry about it. You’re here in my bed now. And don’t think we’re done with this clone discussion—you still have a bunch to account for.”

“Ah, well . . . I sent one to Kiba to tell him we’re going out now.” Sakura let her fingers wander down to Naruto’s balls, softly touching them. “Ok, ok," Naruto quickly continued, "I sent the clone to tell him I’d won the bet we had about if you would sleep with me before you’d sleep with Sai.”

“Sai! Kiba thought I’d sleep with Sai?”

“I thought you liked Sai,” said Naruto.

“Naruto, Sai is gay,” said Sakura.

“No, no way! He’s ANBU, he’s an awesome ninja,” said Naruto.

“So? Come on, Sai would sleep with you before he’d sleep with me.”

“Sai wouldn’t sleep with me because he thinks my penis is too small,” denied Naruto.

“See, see, see—he wouldn’t be talking about your penis if he wasn’t really interested in it.”

“That’s not true; guys talk about penises a lot.”

“Ok, but I still think Sai is gay, and if he’s not gay, he’s a moron because your penis is not small. As a medic, I can state that with authority. “

“Yea, well, my penis isn’t usually so excited when I’m around Sai,” said Naruto.

“Good, keep it that way!” said Sakura sliding a hand possessively up and down said penis.

Sakura and Naruto began to kiss again, but at the sound of the doorbell, they pulled apart.

“It’s probably me with my clothes,” said Naruto, getting up.

The sound of the door opening and a shocked scream suddenly had both Naruto and Sakura racing for weapons and the door. As soon as she cleared the bedroom door, Sakura moaned. Ino stood in the doorway staring at one of Naruto’s naked clones who had opened the door.

“Dammit, Ino, shut the damn door!” shouted Sakura.

Ino stepped in the apartment and slammed the door behind her, “You jerk, Sakura, how dare you start sleeping with Naruto and not tell me! Oh my god, there’s two of him, no three! You kinky freaks, you two! I mean you four! Why the two clones? Holy crap, how long have you two been doing it?”

The two clones suddenly vanished, as did Naruto, going into the bathroom.

Sakura didn’t bother to flee to the bedroom to put on a robe; Ino had already seen her naked body before, and it was more important to keep Ino by the door. “Oh my god, Sakura, he’s hot! And his penis isn’t small like Sai says,” whispered Ino.

“Ino! Don’t be looking at Naruto’s penis! Go away! When I said shut the door, I meant with you on the other side!”

“Alright, girl, I’m leaving, but you are going to tell me every sick and twisted detail about this freaky foursome you’ve got going or else everyone in town is going to know about it,” threatened Ino as she turned to the door.

At that point, the doorbell rang again. Sakura bolted for the bedroom to grab some clothes. Naruto still wasn’t out of the bathroom, so Ino took it upon herself to open the door.

“Oh come on it, Naruto,” said Ino loudly. “Yea, they’re running short on clones here, so you’re just in time.”

“Hi Ino, what are you doing here?” asked the clone.

“No, what are you doing here?” challenged Ino.

Sakura and Naruto each rapidly reappeared: she from the bedroom in a robe, and he from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. Naruto’s clone put down the backpack on the floor and vanished.

“Uh, I was just getting some supplies, Ino,” said Naruto.

“You don’t have to explain anything to Ino, Naruto, she’s leaving,” said Sakura.

“Every detail, Forehead-girl, every detail! Good night, you two!” said Ino gleefully, “Oh, and, Sakura, I’m so glad you’re not feeling depressed tonight! Ok, bye! Have fun!”

“Did that clone bring vodka?” asked Sakura, heading for the kitchen.

“Uh, yeah, shall I pour you some?” asked Naruto taking his pack into the kitchen and setting it on the table.

“Actually, no, I think I’ll make some tea. What would you like, Naruto?”

“Oh, tea, please, thank-you, Sakura-chan.”

The doorbell rang, and Naruto stood saying, “That’s the ramen; I can smell it.” He soon returned to the kitchen with the take-out food.

“Are all your clones gone?” asked Sakura.

Naruto paused before saying, “They are now.” He then swayed on his feet, dizzily.

“Oh, Naruto, sit down before you fall down. Those clones drain you and to try to do that after a full day of training and three orgasms, who do you think you are?”

“I am the great Uzumaki Naruto, the luckiest man in the world!” said Naruto with a big smile, “I have ramen and the sexiest kunoichi in Konoha.”

Sakura started to laugh and brought Naruto’s tea over to him and kissed him on the forehead. Before, she could move away, Naruto pulled her down for a brief kiss on the lips. He then smiled up at her saying, “Hey, Sakura, this is our first meal as a couple. Can we start every meal with a kiss like this?”

“That’s a brilliant idea, Naruto-kun! Itadakimasu!”

“Itadakimasu!”

The apartment grew quiet as Sakura and Naruto ate the ramen and drank the tea. Neither was feeling the need to talk. A sudden storm of barking beneath the open kitchen window had Sakura turning around and frowning.

“I’ll shut the window,” said Naruto jumping up.

“Oh my god, that’s Akamaru and Kiba out there, isn’t it?” asked Sakura in disbelief, jumping up to join Naruto at the window. She looked out and sure enough, Kiba and Akamaru were down below in the street. When Kiba waved and Akamaru barked and wagged his tail, Sakura realized that jumping up to stand next to Naruto in the window was probably a dumb idea if she didn’t want everyone to know she was sleeping with Naruto. For one thing, Naruto was wearing a towel while she was wearing her red silk bathrobe. In addition, Sakura knew she had a big hickey right on the front of her throat which, given she was standing in a lighted kitchen, was likely visible. Blushing she moved back to sit down and finish her ramen with her back to the window.

It took a suspiciously long time for Naruto to return to his seat, but the look of male pride and happiness on his face made it hard to stay annoyed at him. “Anyone else dropping by?” she asked cheerfully.

“Ah, not for me. Anyone besides Ino coming over tonight?”

Sakura blushed, “I’m sorry, Naruto, I totally forgot that Ino said she would try to come by on her way home tonight. She finally got Hinata to agree to go out to a bar tonight, and well you know how hard it is to get Hinata to go out to a bar.”

“Hinata went out drinking with Ino? I didn’t think she drank,” said Naruto.

“She doesn’t drink alcohol, but you can still go to a bar and not drink alcohol.”

“But why? That’s kind of dumb, isn’t it?”

“Because Hinata needs to start dating, and going to bars is a good way to start meeting people to date,” explained Sakura.

“Hmmm,” said Naruto. “I didn’t think she was interested in guys.”

Sakura just shook her head in disbelief. How could Naruto be so clueless about Hinata? Hinata had been chasing after Naruto for years. Sakura wasn’t about to tell Naruto that, however. `And besides,’ Sakura thought, `I don’t think Hinata could handle five naked Naruto’s, my god, she's fainted from just talking to Naruto!’

“What are you thinking about over there, Pinkie-chan?” asked Naruto.

“Seeing five naked Naruto’s,” said Sakura with a grin.

“You are a bad girl! So you liked that eh? So you want a sicko six-way now?”

Sakura couldn’t help but remember her fantasy earlier this evening about lying on this very kitchen table naked and surrounded by a circle of naked Naruto clones.

“Oh my god, you’re thinking about it,” Naruto said in an awestruck voice. “I’m so there as long as you put on that red thong.”

Sakura threw her teacup at Naruto, who looked confused and asked in a whining voice, “What’s with this thong that gets you so angry? If you don’t want to wear it, why did you buy it?”

Sakura just stood up and stripped off her silk robe to reveal that she was already wearing the red thong.

“Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!”

After that there really wasn’t any more talking in Sakura’s apartment for a long, long time.
