Permission To Seek

CHAPTER 31 Marking Your Lover

*Shino speaking with insect*

Darkness all around, the consuming night devoid of any trace of light panic cleaved his heart fighting to maintain a semblance of reality. ‘This cannot be real, it must be a dream.’ Forcing his eyes as wide as possible, touching his own face unable to see his fingers, and wondering if he has gone blind. Creatures scurry in the darkness around him; his knees begin to quake; an all too familiar sensation as the freezing fear ensnares him. ‘Breathe, breathe, this is not real!’

Throwing out his hands reaching for something, his mind closing in on him, he cannot remember his techniques. Nothing, to hold he steps forward into the nothing darkness; his stomach clenching as he tries to master the drowning fear. Someone throwing weapons at him he drops to the ground quickly to avoid the attack; ‘I must get out of here!’ The next instant he leap to his feet, dashing forward unable to see completely blind, but the fear he resisted with all his strength consumes him completely; terrified of what pursues him in the darkness. Unexpectedly he crashes into what feels like a wall; the force of the impact causing the barrier to give way; pain coursing through his body as peeks of light catch his attention; however his momentum continues barreling forward he fell through the passageway. Only he continued to fall endlessly the bright sky above him as he tumbles toward an abyss of darkness; finding his voice, he screams.

“Wake up!”

Shaking him a little harder, “Wake up!” he said firmly, leaning over the sweating face; the moans through clenched teeth getting louder; his mouth moving as if the jaw were locked. Naruto, sat up looking at his comrade, angry the man is once again having a nightmare that he never would explain. The worst part being his fowl mood once the blond revives him; he considered leaving him to whatever terror he suffered, then his complexion paled, and he began to whimper quietly; Naruto felt a pain in his chest, leaning back over the man.

Moving in closer wondering what could be so horrifying, leaning into the young ninja’s ear speaking to a deeper part of the man; “Shino, this is Naruto please open your eyes.” He whispered.

Shino brow continued to twitch, the whimpering moans caught in his throat, as Naruto repeated the same words, “Please open your eyes Shi.” The violet eyes opened behind his shades, his body trembling from the dream; he can see the stars bright above him through the high windows a cold sweat dampening his body.
Turning his gaze reflexively on the face leaning over him, the pain returns in his heart, with relief as he stares at the blue eyes, his jaw aching from clenching in his nightmare.

“Are you alright? That was really bad this time; I had a hard time waking you.” Moving back as he watched the face resume some of its normal color.

‘I need to hold him; I can’t let him get away.’ Reaching his hand out intending to keep the blond close, his hand grazed pass Naruto’s shoulder wrapping around his neck pulling the blond mouth to his. Naruto put up his hands to slow the momentum, pulling back against the grip, to no avail Shino wrapped his other arm around the smaller ninja in a tight embrace, until the full mouth rest against his. Naruto pulling back after only brushing their lips, nervously aware that they are in an unfamiliar land and anyone could be watching. In addition, Shino had showed him nothing but indifference over the past weeks; reminding him on a daily basis to keep his head on their mission. Now he wanted to throw all that away, this having nothing to do with their mission.

“Get a hold of yourself, ‘Keep your mind on our mission’” Naruto reminded him firmly, pulling back against the confining hold a deep blush covering his cheeks, spreading down his neck.

Shino did not let go as he stared at Naruto the sarcasm cut deep. “I am sorry I hurt you Naruto, please kiss me.” His left hand moving to stroke the heated whiskered cheek Naruto paused, Shino trembling beneath him. “Please forgive me Naruto-kun I have missed holding you, my feelings for you have not changed. Do you still desire this bond?” The hand stroking the whiskered cheek moved to his face removing his dark shades; then reached back to the flushed face above him, easing the mouth to his. The blue eyes widened at the sight of the violet eyes, allowing the kiss. Shino moaned softy into the full mouth, easing his tongue between Naruto’s lips savoring the quake as their heart beats matched. Shino allowed him to ease back too quickly although Naruto no longer resisted the embrace resting with his face a few inches away of the violet eyes.

“I don’t want to answer that question again until this mission is over.” Naruto said slowly, feeling his heart rate rise steadily the longer the slanting eyes peered into him.

“Understood, I have not done well with your feelings Naruto-kun.” He stroked his fingers in the thick blond mane, wondering what he could do to keep a hold on this young ninja’s heart. “Thank you for waking me; this dream was the most troubling.” Lifting his head for another kiss, Naruto leaned down meeting his mouth.

‘Why does this feel so nice, I want to do more;’ Naruto thought shuddering easing his mouth open allowing the probing tongue to enter. Naruto felt tipsy the hands in his hair pulling him firmly into a deeper kiss.

Wrapping his arms firmly around his love, Shino turned them both, until he was on top of Naruto, pressing his mouth insistently deeper their tongues stroking each other slowly. Both savored the increasing heat radiating up their bodies as their passion grew. ‘Uzumaki has all my heart I will never let go.’ Shino gazed adoringly at the blond lashes hiding the blue radiance beneath.

Naruto’s arm wrapped around his waist tugging the back of Shino’s t-shirt, his lover halted their kiss as a deep flush darkened Naruto’s face. Shino smiled knowingly at him the blush deepened, in the tan features.

“You are a beautiful person Naruto-kun.” His voice a wonderful baritone rumbling to the farthest reaches of the smaller ninja’s heart. Shino leaned pressing their lips together once more, a thrill passing through him as Naruto’s hips pushed forward, his erection poking Shino’s thigh as he rested halfway between his lovers legs. Shino lifted his mouth again; Naruto lifted his head trying to hold the kiss. He leaned on one arm the other stroking the beautiful face, staring at the dazzling eyes encouraging. “I would like to do more with you but this place is not convenient do you know what I mean Uzumaki?”

Naruto nodded his eyes blinking slowly; pressing his hips up once more. Both hands around the brunette’s waist push up the bottom of the dark t-shirt; sneaking their way to his chest slowly, the dreamy look never leaving the blue eyes.

Shino raised one eyebrow as the tan hands inched higher to his chest. “What are you doing Uzumaki, this place offers little privacy.” He leaned in kissing the full lips Naruto’s fingers finding his nipples beginning to tweak them. “Mmmn.” Shino moaned; placing light kisses around Naruto mouth; “You think I will allow you to start something I cannot finish you are wrong, Naruto.”

“Shhh, just kiss me and do anything you want.” Naruto chastised in a hushed voice; pushing the shirt over Shino’s head as he raised his arms in assistance.

“Anything?” The bug lord whispered his heart jumped several paces; as he pressed his mouth deeply on the one under him, feeling his bare chest meet Naruto’s warm t-shirt, the blonds heart racing. He pulled up Naruto did not answer, the blushing face beneath staring at him with longing. Closing his eyes, thinking only to open them quickly as Naruto eased up to whisper in his ear; Shino blushed staring at the vibrant eyes of the blond, a sexy smile on his tan face. He nodded offering his own devious smile. “Are we really alone?”

“Yes.” Naruto pulled Shino mouth back to his; feeling the long fingers push at the bottom of his t-shirt then quickly lifting it over his head. “Mmmn.” He sighed breathlessly, turning his head into the warm mouth above him as a soft hum the tone of the Kikai elevated in his ears.

“What a sexy guy you are Naruto-kun.” He purred; *Make certain we are not disturbed* pushing down the blonds orange pajama pants immediately groping for the erection that popped free. “Look at what’s happening you I’ll need to take care of that; is that alright?” He said coyly speaking into to their lengthy kiss. Shino smiled as the blond head moved up and down in agreement the tan hands pushing at Shino’s dark briefs.

“Yeah.” Naruto hissed, pushing his hips forward eagerly while nodding. “Please take care of that for me.”

Grinning at his excitement, Shino stroked the protruding cock, running his fingers in the pre-cum bringing the fingers to his mouth sucking them. “Taste good,” He nuzzled his nose on the tan neck his body quaking as Naruto sat up against him pushing his briefs down further their erections now laying against each other. Shino rubbed his hands all over the golden body his lover rocking his hips against the cock beneath him. ‘Feels so good; I want him.’

He sucked deeply on Naruto’s shoulder, the ninja moaning in his ear, the mouth kissing Shino’s neck sucking then biting firmly before lapping at the sensitive skin. Shino lifted up looking in the blue eyes, ‘he’s marking me.’ The bug lord considered placing tentative kisses on the full lips, their eyes locked together in love, lust need, understanding. “I will always love you Naruto.” Breaking the kiss he moved down the writhing body, kissing a sucking the tight smooth skin; the tan fingers buried in the dark hair.

“Oh yes, Shi, yesss.” Naruto bucked his hips biting down on his lower lip trying to keep his voice down. “Don’t, tease me or I’ll get so loud you will regret it.” He threatened, the violet eyes gazing up at him in mirth, handsome smile revealing his perfect teeth.

“There will be plenty of time for teasing, but not were there are witnesses.” Retuning to the beautiful abs, he placed a light kiss on the sculptured muscles the skin quaking at his intrusion Naruto suppressing a whimpering whine. “Just keep those lips together; and we will be as discreet as possible.” Grinning he moved lower to the jutting erection licking his lips his mouth salivating for his lovers juices. *Sing to him show him how much he mean* Lapping lightly at the shining droplets of pre-cum, running down the one side of the flaming cock.

“Aahh! Shinooo…” Naruto thrashed his head from side to side; thrusting his hips forward, his eyes screwed shut; the anticipation of the warm mouth engulfing him nearly unbearable. Biting his bottom lip he dare to look down to see what his lover was doing captivated he could not turn his eyes away. Shino’s tongue slowing lapping the side of cock working his way to the head in an erotic dance; his mind began to hover, his cock twitching increased, the erotic sight bringing him close. Somewhere in a vague part of his mind, he hears an amazing tone, reminding him of the waterfalls. Naruto reached a hand forward to touch the dark hair.

Ready to plunge the beautiful protrusion in his throat, his left hand stroking lightly, the cock pulsing in his grip; he gazed at the wide blue eyes “I want to finish this.” He smiled at the deep blush covering Naruto’s face, neck and chest. Naruto moved forward, claiming his mouth, a deep passion resonating from the smaller ninja, his hand grabbing the other man erection; Shino trembled, Naruto stroking him firmly the top of his fist quickly covered in his lover’s juice. Breaking the kiss to bring that flavor to his lips, licking the shiny substance while he stared in the violet eyes then smiled.

“My turn.” Pushing Shino back clumsily as he dived for his cock. Not one to hesitate he immediately took the head of the large cock in his mouth. Trying to mimic what he witnessed gagging as he went to far. Pulling up he lapped at the head of the cock, sucking shallowly then teasing the opening with his tongue.

Shino chuckled, despite the fact he did not want to insult his lover’s attempts. Naruto stopped looking embarrassed. “It’s ok I like what you are doing, come here.” Easing Naruto to sit in front of him with his legs crossed over Shino, his bottom still on the bed. He began to kiss the tan face, again Naruto instantly beginning to stroke his cock again; smearing the pre-cum around the head as Shino moaned into their kiss. Easing a hand to his mouth, licking the palm generously between kisses, he gripped Naruto’s cock beginning a sinuous twisting stroke Naruto scooting his hips forward as he thrust into the hand. Reaching his free arm around the larger male’s neck now so close the heads of their cocks touched each other lightly between the combined hand jobs. Shino painfully aware that the image of this position from the porn book is one of his favored only his cock would not be in this Naruto’s hand. Shino suppressed a snicker the sensations making him giddy.

“What’s so funny, this feels good right?” Naruto’s very serious eyes watched the violet ones before him. Shino’s sweaty hairs hanging down around his face the eyes appear to glow between the curtains of his dark locks. Naruto leaned into the mouth briefly then eased over to Shino’s ear, whispering. “Are you ever going to fuck me?” Shino quaked violently his stokes increasing making sure their heads touched each other between strokes. Now Naruto snickered, kissing the hot mouth; feeling the his climax approaching as the strong arm wrapped behind him pressed into his back and the muscles in the strong thighs caused him to bounce on the mans lap.

Pulling back a few inches from their kiss, breathless; his violet eyes over bright he whispered to his lover; “You say that to me, …aaahh!” The rest lost as his whole body quaked in the white light of his climax; biting his lip to keep from calling out burying his face on the blond shoulder feeling Naruto cock spasm in his grip; the hot juices spilling over his hand mixing with his own fluids. Naruto kissing his neck softly, purring; Shino smiled at the golden hair turning to kiss the wonderful mouth; easing him back on the bed placing his body between Naruto’s legs; relaxing on the toned chest, their hearts still racing from their release.

“I love you Tenshi, let’s take our time; I want to savor this life we create.” He lifted his mouth lightly kissing his lovers chin. Naruto has one forearm over his eyes, the other lost in the dark hair; feeling exhausted.

‘I should not have said that, why did I say that?’ The Kikai tone lulling him asleep, ‘I just need to sleep then I can figure out why I said a stupid thing like that; guys can’t do that anyway. Can they?’ Peeking down at the man between his legs, the amazing smile back, ‘I’m totally in to this guy he only smiles like that for me.’ Naruto grinned, “That felt great right?”

“I’m tired now, but we should clean up before we rest; on second thought;” Shino sat up pausing to stare at the blue eyes with a sneaky smile. “I will not sleep again.”

“You just said you are tied, just lay with me I’ll wake you if it starts again.” Naruto sat up staring as Shino gathered his robe and things for a shower. “Its’ better if you sleep Shi, I don’t want you crashing again.” More concern in his voice.

Passing Naruto some damp towels tossing a bunch in the trash, he paused for the first time thinking about his other comrades. “Its ok Naruto, I really had enough sleep.”

“Show off.” He teased throwing his tissues away. “I’ll join you for a shower.” Flashing his cutest over large pleading eyes, “Will you wash my hair?”

“More importantly Naruto where is Hyuga?” He asked, after glancing at Neji’s untouched bed.

“I just saw him on my way back from the toilet not long before I woke you, he said he couldn’t sleep.” Naruto looked expectantly at the Shinobi “Uhhh... Shino can we?” he really didn’t care where Neji wandered, the guy could take care of himself and he really wanted to spend some more time alone with Shino while everyone had their own thing to do.

Shino replaced his shades beginning to get dressed; much to the displeasure of a small lover; “Naruto tell me every detail of what he said and did.” Reaching over and grabbing his jacket off a rack near the bed; attaching his ninja pouch to his thigh.

Grabbing his clothes just as quickly although he still hoped for a shower with Shino, “I thought we could…”
‘
“I am sorry Uzumaki; I have a bad feeling about this, his forehead protector and ninja gear is still here. What purpose could he have without these items?” Shino walked over to gather Neji’s belongings.

Naruto watched in slight disbelief; “Well, a few minutes ago we didn’t need ninja supp…”

“Uzumaki this is not the time for foolishness!” Shino snapped. Understanding too well Naruto’s frustration; then cursing because he realized he was loosing the progress he just made. “Look Naruto I’m sorry I yelled at you; I am responsible for everyone on this team I just need to be sure he has not come to any harm.” His voice subdued trying to stretch his patience. *Find him and report to me.*

An astonished look on the blond face, Naruto watched the dark cloud of Kikai drift up from Shino’s outstretched wrist. “Oh. Uhmm.” He stammered; “Well he only said he couldn’t sleep, he didn’t tell me where he was going, I thought just for a walk; but he did have on a white Kimono.” Naruto looked up at the moon through the high windows, wondering if that made any difference. “I wish I could be more helpful.”

Shino watched the blue eyes intently, then gazed toward the night sky; “You are very helpful Naruto; let’s go.” As several Kikai returned.


_______________________


Earlier that evening…

A dark shadow pass through the mountain road toward the Hidden Leaf; leaping effortlessly from tree to tree finally climbing a portion of the mountainside entering a small channel that cut through the mountain; its exit on the far side a snaking short cut to the path leading the Leaf. The shadow entered dark caverns fearless and preparing a welcome for the next visitors. An hour later exiting, raising one hand making signs then leaping to safety as the mountain rumbled, huge boulders rolling down to forever cover the open road to the Hidden Leaf; the small entrance into the mountain now stood wide a welcoming sight for any would be traveler.

Pressing his mouth deeper still, a desire to prolong the kiss a few more moments, Neji tightened his embrace as the small mouth just below him turned away speaking. He could not decipher the words his mind full of Gaara.

“Please release me the sand does not understand what I feel.” The redhead pushed insistently on the Hyuuga chest crushing him in his embrace. Although Gaara enjoyed the feel of the young ninja’s arms, something he has never experienced.

“Just a little more Gaara-soma; let me hold you.” The sultry voice whispered in his ear, desiring the Red Star to give him his mouth.

“Neji, please the sand!” he said firmly, the guy still planting kisses on his face; as panic grew in his chest; worried that he would be hurt. “You must let go before it’s too late.”

The full mouth claimed the pert lips again, a deep moan resonating in his chest he refused to believe that this man would ever harm him.

“Gaara-soma.” Neji cooed softly.

“Please release me now!” Gaara said urgently his voice low but firm a deep concern in the glorious eyes.

“I know you will not harm me, I do not fear your sand.” They stared at each other, the sand rising steadily.

“I can not stop it Neji-soma please release me!”

Neji stared at him for several silent seconds. “You called me..” The Hyuuga lessened his hold around the ninja’s back. His hands sliding up to cradle the red hair and shoulders bring the Sand Ninja to his larger chest in a warm soothing embrace. Under Neji’s firm hold Gaara relaxed against the Konoha Ninja the fragrant smell of almonds wafting from the dark hair. “Do you remember that sonnet you said is one of your favorite?” Gaara nodded silently against his chest; “Will you recite it for me now; I enjoy the sound of your voice; I will hold you until you feel calm I will always hold you when you need.” Neji pressed his lips against the red hair.

‘His words are unique, I have never heard such things directed towards me.’ His body shivered the sand a weight around them; beginning to recite the sonnet; the steady beat Neji’s heart a relaxing addition; as sleep threatens to take him in its grip. The more he drifted in restfulness; the more sand retreated returning to its home; the gentle stroke on his hair calming him more.

They held each other for several long moments; Gaara’s words fading as he entered his twilight sleep the only type he allowed himself; resting his mind and body but not fully asleep. Neji continued to hold him, raising one hand as Shino approached he stop watching the two Shinobi. The sand still retreating making a soft hiss, Naruto taking Shino cue paused remaining quiet; Neji dark hair mixing with the vibrant red in his embrace a beautiful sight.

“Let him rest a little more, he’s tired.” Neji whispered his gaze on Shino and Naruto who both nodded. However, Kiba and Akamaru approached the dog barking at the sand and Kiba gasping in surprise.

“What the!”

Gaara sat up looking around at the Konoha Ninja who joined them in wonder; ‘Why have so many come to join us?’ Neji stroked his shoulder, glancing at the concerned face; “I will go now.” He stood Neji rising with him.

“I will walk you.” Neji smiled at large eyes; ‘I have something worth keeping.’

“If you like.” He nodded. However, stop staring at the last arrival.

“What’s going on is this some kind of meeting?” A sarcastic voice drawled. Everyone’s eyes turned to face the new arrival.

“Nothing, Uchiha we are all just taking a walk.” Shino said his eyes on Gaara the way the sand retreated as Neji held him fascinating.

“You should have invited me.” His eyes flashing on Gaara the green eyes blank.

Gaara nodded at the group then gazed back at Neji, “You may walk,” leaving everyone to stare after him; Neji making to follow, his wrist grabbed firmly.

“What are you doing?” Sasuke bit out his voice full of suppressed anger.

Neither noticed Gaara glace back but continue to walk as Neji retorted. “None of your concern Uchiha!” The Byakugan user pulled away from Sasuke’s grasp, his temper just as impulsive.

Shino stepped forward when it looked as if Sasuke would continue. “Neji meet with me after your ‘walk’; Sasuke I will speak with you now.”

Kiba grinned stupidly at Naruto, the blonds eyes locked on the silent war between Neji and Sasuke; ‘What is that all about?’ Then he noticed the Kiba staring. “What are you looking at?” Naruto growled at snickering dog-ninja shooting glances between Shino and Naruto.

Shino turned to see what new problem has surfaced; scowling at the look on Kiba’s sharp face; ‘I knew it.’ He thought darkly. “Kiba!” Shino snapped gazing intently at the Dog Shinobi.

“Oi Shino, we been comrades a long time, just trust me.” Grinning baring many sharp teeth he snickered as he turned to his dog, “Good night everyone.”

Sasuke watched as Neji fell in step with Gaara wearing the Kimono he said was especially for him. ‘Bastard.’
