xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Naruto watched as Sasuke stripped out of his clothes and slipped into the water. The brunette closed his eyes to absorb the water's heat.

"Hm in does feel good."

Sasuke opened his eyes, slid over to Naruto, ran a hand down the blond's side, from ribcage to hip, "But you feel even better."

Sasuke lowered his mouth to Naruto's neck and licked up the side to nibble on his ear, making the blond shiver.

"I love how you taste. Just thinking about it makes me want to lick every inch of you."

Sasuke moved to nibble along Naruto's jaw while the hand on the blond's hip moved up his torso to play with his nipples. Naruto moaned and threaded the fingers of one hand into Sasuke's hair.

"You sure chatty tonight."

Sasuke smirked then clamped his mouth over Naruto's to fence with the blond's tongue.

They broke apart gasping for air and Sasuke kissed his way down Naruto's throat, paused to leave a hickie at the collarbone, then moved to claim a nipple with his mouth. As he sucked and raked his teeth over the nipple, Sasuke's hand moved back down Naruto's body to grasp the blond's hard shaft. Naruto let his head fall back and groaned as the brunette began to pump his hand up and down.

Naruto tugged Sasuke's head up for another kiss and the Uchiha moved his hand from the blond's erection to grasp one tanned hip, broke the kiss, and flipped Naruto around. Naruto leaned back against him as Sasuke mouthed the side of his neck and ran his fingers up the back of his thighs to his puckered hole. Sasuke slipped a finger into his husband and stroked the inner walls lightly, avoiding the blond's sweet spot. Naruto squrimed a bit and moaned, "More please."

The brunette added a second finger to the first and began scissoring them, stretching Naruto's tight passage.

Naruto rode Sasuke's fingers mewling and moaning. The sounds went straight to Sasuke' already overheated libido and he removed his fingers and pushed Naruto forward so that the blond was on his knees and grasping the edge of the tub. The brunette positioned himself at Naruto's entrance and pushed in slowly until he was embedded up to the hilt. He paused to allow Naruto time to adjust then, pulled back and pushed in setting a slow, gentle pace.

Naruto shook and pushed back against Sasuke who took the silent hint and increased the pace gradually until he was thrusting hard and fast. Each thrust brought Naruto closer to his climax yet it remained just slightly out of reach. Frustrated, the blond arched his back and growled. Sasuke smirked and rolled his hips expertly with each thrust, increasing the pleasure while deliberatly avoiding the blond's prostate. Naruto moaned, "Sasuke make me come, please."

The Uchiha, close to his own peak, pulled back until he was almost out of Naruto then thrust back in swiftly, hitting Naruto's prostate just right and sending both of them screaming over the edge into oblivion.

Sasuke pulled out, wrapped his shaking arms around Naruto's waist, and pulled the trembling blond around into his embrace while they came down from the explosive climax. Naruto nuzzled Sasuke's throat, "Mm love you Sasuke."

The brunette smiled, "Feeling's mutual."

Their heartbeats leveled out and they stumbled out of the tub, nearly slipped on the wayer that had splashed on the floor, shrugged into the terry cloth robes that the hotel provided, and walked out of the bathroom.

As Naruto flopped down on one of the love seats, Sasuke chuckled.

"Hm? What's funny?"

"I was just thinking that it was a good thing I asked room service to wait an hour and a half to send our food up. Someone interrupting would have ruined the mood."

Naruto glared half-heartedly and primly announced, "Pervert."

"This from the man who created the Sexy Jutsu?"

Naruto flushed and yelled indignantly, "I had a good reason for that!"

Sasuke raised and eyebrow, "Oh? What would that be?"

Naruto rolled his eyes, "Money doesn't grow on trees teme. I had to make money somehow before I became a ninja so once I understood the basics of henge I made myself look like a chick and waitressed to pay my bills. Before that I took any little shit-work job that came my way."

Sasuke blinked, a little taken aback by the edge in Naruto's voice, "You never said anything before."

"After I became a ninja I never really thought about it before, didn't want to."

Sasuke sat down next to Naruto and brushed a stray lock of blond hair out of his eyes and cupped his cheek, "I'm sorry if I brought up a bad memory."

Naruto leaned into the touch, "You didn't. It's just that being a orphan is bad enough, as you well know, but being a poor orphan, how do I put this tactfully? It suck."

Sasuke chuckled because he knew that was what Naruto had been aiming for but he was struck by how little he still knew about Naruto's past despite how well he did know the blond. He wrapped his arms around Naruto, who returned the embrace and they stayed like that until a knock sounded followed by a voice calling, "Room Service."

Sasuke got up to let the cheerful maid in. She wheeled in a tray, set up the food, told them to call when they wanted the dishes cleared away, and wheeled the cart out of the room. Naruto and Sasuke sat down and began discussing what they would do once they got out of bed the next day, if they got out of bed at all that is.

{in Konoha the next day}

Neji watched as the last of his belongings were loaded onto a wagon going to Suna. 'I'm really leaving.' Although he wanted nothing more than to live in Suna with Gaara, it was bittersweet leaving Konoha behind. Gaara watched his Hyuga struggle with his emotions and walked over to stand closely behind him, "You will miss it."

Neji turned around to face the redhead, "I didn't think I would."

Gaara smiled almost imperceptivly, "As bad as some of your memories are, there are many good ones, as well as friends here. Of course you will miss Konoha," Gaara raised a hand to Neji's face brushing his fingers down the pale cheek, "but we will make our own memories in Suna and whenever you wish we will visit Konoha."

Neji smiled at his lover and, throwing dignity to the wind and sying screw it to appearances, he kissed the Kazekage fiercly. Gaara tunneled his fingers through Neji's hair, ripping the tie away, and kissed him back whole-heartedly. Neji pulled Gaara closer, plastering their bodies as close as was humanly possible with clothes on, and deepened the kiss, stroking his tongue over the roof of his beloved's mouth before tangling their tongues together. They were interrupted by a wolf whistle and they pulled back to look at the grinning Kiba, who had apparently accompanied Hinata to say farewell to Neji. Lee and Temari ahd already left and Neji had said goodbye to everyone else earlier.

Hinata was blushing vividly and averting her eyes to give her cousin some sort of privacy. Neji and Gaara released each other and walked over to the couple. Gaara leveled a distainful glare at Kiba, who simply shrugged it off, dating Hinata had given him plenty of experience with the distainful glares that most of her relatives gave him. Neji gave him a slightly admonishing look, which did have an effect on Kiba.

"Sorry couldn't resist."

Hinata looked at her cousin, "We wanted to see you off Neji-nii-san."

He smiled at her, "Thank you Hinata-sama."

Gaara inclined his head, "It is kind of you to do so Hinata-san."

Hinata turned her gaze to Gaara and, despite her shyness, looked at him piercingly, making the redhead blink in surprise. After a few seconds of study Hinata smiled gently and stepped forward to hug Gaara and whispered in his ear, "Take good care of Neji-nii-san, Gaara-san and thank you for loving him the way you do."

She pulled away giving the shocked redhead a quick kiss on the cheek. Then she turned to Neji and gave him a hug, "Take care of your beloved Neji-nii-san."

He returned her hug, "I will. Thank you for everything Hinata-imoto."

She smiled, kissed him on the cheek, and pulled away to stand by Kiba. Kiba eyed Gaara, who still looked shell shocked, then slid his gaze to Neji, "Thank you. You may have a minor stick up your ass but you stood behind us when Hinata and I brought our relationship to her father, it's appreciated," he stuck his hand out to Neji and the Hyuga accepted it only to gape in shock when Kiba grinned and pulled him into a quick guy hug, "If you ever need the help of an Inuzuka give me a holler and we'll come running."

Kiba looked back at a now recovered Gaara, "Okay sandman I've got to say the obligatory 'if you hurt Hina's cousin in anyway I'll kill you' thing. Seriously though, if you do hurt Neji in some way, I'm not the one you'll have to worry about. Hina can be downright scary when she's protecting someone she loves."

Hinata blushed and scolded Kiba while Gaara nodded in understanding. An aide ran up to the Kazekage and told him that everything was ready. Gaara and Neji said goodbye one more time and turned to leave.

Itachi:What the hell took you so long?

T.W.:(shurgs) Stuff happened, it's finals week at my college, my boss decided I had to work extra hours because someone quit suddenly, and I finally got one of my cousins married off, plus a couple of other issues that I'm not talking about.

Sai:Speaking of colleges(waves remember note in T.W.'s face)

T.W.:Okay okay. My condolances to those affected by the tradgedy at Virginia Tech. But in addition I have to say this, I'm sorry for the victims and their families but reguarding the family of the gunman, Seung-Hui Cho, I find it very sad that no one seems to care that his family is also grieving as well as attempting to understand why he did it. They most likely are wondering if perhaps there was something they could have done to keep him from killing and they may feel guilty that they didn't see that he was so disturbed.

Itachi:Are you a Libra or something?

T.W>:No. Why?

Itachi: You always look at both sides of an issue and try to see things from each side's perspective, a decidely Libran quality.

T.W.:It's called compassion, you should try it sometime. And compassion is a decidedly Cancerian quality.

Sai:I take it you're a Cancer.

T.W.:That's right. Now I hope everyone liked this chapter. Please review and let me know. I'm not certain when I'll be updating next but I'll try to keep it under two weeks. Ja ne.
