Restless

Quick update! Two in two days. That means, if you didn’t read something recently, it probably means you need to go back and read Chapter 7. ;-)

Restless

Chapter 8: Restless Bodies

Sasuke straddled the warm body beneath his own. He had impulsively pounced on Naruto, and for a minute, his vision swam, and he felt himself collapse upon Naruto.
Sasuke idly heard Naruto's concerned voice, his body feeling heavy, and his eyes refusing to open.

"Sasuke? Sasuke?" Sasuke shook his head, as if to dispel a fog. Suddenly, his body felt light, and Sasuke's head felt clearer. Sasuke's momentary state of loopiness was all but forgotten to the stoic boy.

"Naruto," Sasuke said, opening his eyes to gaze into the blue eyes below him. His torso lay across the top of Naruto's chest, and his legs were pressed snugly to the younger boy's sides. Naruto lay, looking up at Sasuke, clearly concerned for his friend. Sasuke smirked. He liked the attention he felt as Naruto looked at him like that. In a flash, Sasuke took Naruto's arms and pinned them behind his head; Naruto bucked beneath him at the unexpected movement. But Sasuke wanted this time to be different. He didn't want a quick frustrated release against his friend. He wanted things to go slower, longer. He pushed his body harder against Naruto's, preventing the blonde from bucking his hips again - for the moment.

"Sasuke!" There was a desperation in Naruto's voice this time, a desperation that enflamed Sasuke's manhood to respond. Sasuke forced his mouth upon Naruto’s, a sweet moan escaping from the blond beneath him. His lips sucked and nipped at Naruto's, first sucking at the corner of Naruto's mouth, to the top lip, then to the bottom, and then to the other side. Naruto's lips were soft and smooth, the skin nice and heated. Slowly, Sasuke began to run his tongue along the bottom lip he had been sucking on, gently, reveling in the soft, silky texture of Naruto's lips.

Naruto gasped, and Sasuke began to move his position on Naruto's body, slowly snaking his way forward on him, so that his knees were pinning Naruto's arms to the floor. Sasuke's hands now freed from holding Naruto's arms, moved to the side of Naruto's face. One wound itself to the nape of Naruto's neck, his hand cupped behind Naruto's ear, gently placed between both the side and back of Naruto's head, his fingers entangled at the base of Naruto's soft hair. His other hand moved to stroke the top of Naruto's hairline, and Naruto gasped again at the gentleness of the touch. Sasuke stretched his tongue inside of Naruto's mouth, moving it slowly, tantalizingly over Naruto's. Naruto responded by flipping his own tongue upside down, matching Sasuke's motions, creating a sweet friction in their mouths.

They laid there, their tongues dancing and gliding over each other's, their warm mouths pressed firmly together, sucking and moving lips upon the other's bruised, yet moist lips.

Sasuke was the one to break the deep kiss, with a slight squishing pop as their sucking on each other stopped. Sasuke kissed Naruto's mouth gently, twice. Naruto opened his eyes, and Sasuke felt smug to see the glazed, lazy look Naruto directed at him. Naruto gave a small grin.

"Oi, teme. You should be resting, not working out," Naruto said, his usually chirping voice coming out, lower, and much huskier than Sasuke had ever remembered. Sasuke smirked. He knew how to control Naruto now - he just had to be gentle and slow. The hyperactive blond wasn't familiar with being treated gently, so he naturally wanted things to go fast and hard, as he was used to. Giving him something different left him looking bewildered, and (Sasuke liked this part the best) submissive.

"I need to burn off this excessive energy from being cooped up for so long," Sasuke murmured as he slowly removed his body from Naruto's and stood up. Naruto sighed as he stood up, turning to face Sasuke.

"Sasuke, you're doped up, and you need to rest. I don't want to do anything with you and have you regretting it later. I don't want to take advantage of you," Naruto lectured, his face getting a funny determined look on it, as his eyes closed matter of factly, crossing his arms for emphasis.

"Regretting? Taking advantage of?" Sasuke's voice was icy cold. "Do not forget with whom you are speaking, dobe. My momentary lapse of - er - silliness is nothing to concern yourself with. Don't think for a minute that I will lose to you just because of a little bit of hyperactivity on my part," Sasuke warned. Naruto frowned. He knew Sasuke was returning to himself, but he wasn't there yet. Sasuke said silliness. Sasuke would NEVER use that word under normal circumstances regarding himself. No, Sasuke still wasn't one hundred percent Sasuke yet.

"No, you're-" but what Sasuke was, Sasuke didn't want to hear. He didn't want Naruto to think him weak. He was stronger than the dobe, damnit! To prove his point he pushed Naruto onto the hospital bed. Naruto yelped as he landed face forward onto the bed, Sasuke straddling him from behind again. Once again, Naruto found his arms pinned above his head, but this time, Naruto felt much more exposed - especially since Sasuke had managed to remove his shirt and tie his hands with hospital wrappings to the top of the bed post in record time.

"How?!" Naruto squirmed, feeling Sasuke's body resting on his back, Sasuke's hard on pressing through both Sasuke's shorts and Naruto's pants, resting firmly in the crevice
between Naruto's butt cheeks.

"Youkuseiryoku no justsu, dobe," (Restraint jutsu) Naruto could hear Sasuke smirk as he said it. "Oh" was all Naruto managed to reply. It was one of the techniques he knew he should have learned in the academy. It was used to effectively restrain an enemy from their hands - but usually the enemy would be dangling from above. However, Naruto also knew that it was very easy to get out of - if he could just remember the damn counter jutsu!

"What are you going to do to me like this?" Naruto asked, all sorts of wild images floating past his mind. Sasuke leaned forward, his lips brushing the side of Naruto's cheek, gently kissing him at that sensitive spot between his ear and neck.

"Come on dobe, isn't it obvious?" Sasuke purred. Naruto gasped. Sasuke wasn't really going to do what he thought he was - was he? Realization dawned on Naruto's face. Sasuke was going to shove himself inside Naruto!

"I see you realized what I'm going to do," Sasuke chuckled, after seeing the look on Naruto's face.

"You're going to - to -" Naruto panicked, trying to remember the counter jutsu. He wasn't ready for this! "Sasuke, I'm not ready for this!" Naruto said, desperately. He wiggled his hips, trying to buck Sasuke off of him, but to no avail. Naruto desperately wracked his brain for the counter jutsu. "Get OFF, teme!"

"Don't worry, Naruto, I have some lotion to make it go nice and slick," Sasuke was almost cackling now. Sasuke slid his body off of Naruto, and walked slowly over to the counter.

Sasuke took in the sight of Naruto, stretched topless on the hospital bed, his hands tugging furiously. In the back of his mind, Sasuke realized this was rather kinky, but couldn't help but enjoy the scene in front of him, watching Naruto struggle helplessly.

He grabbed a bottle of lotion off of the counter. He walked back towards the bed, and let his fingertips brush gently down the middle of Naruto's back. Naruto shuddered, at the touch. Yes, Sasuke smirked to himself, being gentle was the easiest way to control Naruto. He let his fingers trail lightly up and down Naruto's back before resting his fingers on the waistband of Naruto's pants.

"Sasuke!" Naruto hissed, and then began to wiggle as Sasuke pulled off his pants. A second later, his eyes went wide as he heard the familiar pop of a lotion cap as the smell of the lotion wafted to his nose. Sasuke dabbed the lotion right at the top of Naruto's butt crack and rubbed - upward...?

"That's right dobe. I'm going to give you a full body massage," Sasuke said, barely suppressing his chuckle. Naruto's body seemed to go limp with relief and disbelief.

"Nani?" Naruto asked in a small voice. Sasuke leaned his body against Naruto's naked back, the fabric from his shirt sticking slightly to Naruto's now lotion slicked back.

"What were you thinking dobe? Or perhaps, what were you hoping? Thinking I was going to do something else?" Sasuke whispered huskily. Naruto growled, knowing now that Sasuke had been purposefully toying with him. Bad Sasuke! Bad, evil, doped up Sasuke!

"Teme!" Naruto hissed out. Sasuke did chuckle this time (evilly), and began to rub Naruto up and down his back. Naruto grumbled, but relaxed and let Sasuke's hands knead out his muscles. He started at the lower part of his back, and began to move circles with his thumbs, working out a knot that Naruto hadn't realized he had even had. Naruto moaned in his contentment, letting Sasuke trail his hands all over his body, while his thoughts meanwhile trailed to wondering how Sasuke had known that it was easier to use lotion for anal sex, and then wondered how he even knew that.

Naruto moaned into the bed sheets as Sasuke worked his hands, massaging Naruto's shoulders and neck, next moving down to his muscled torso to his hips and then to his butt cheeks. Naruto didn't flinch as Sasuke’s hands began to knead the somewhat softer muscles there, before moving lower to the inside of his thighs - ever so slightly teasing the younger ninja by "accidentally" brushing against his balls - and then to his sides, and down to his calves. But then his hand traveled back upward towards Naruto’s hard on. Naruto gasped at the strange sensation of the cool lotion on Sasuke’s warm hand, as Sasuke began to slowly move his hand up and down Naruto’s shaft, teasing the head every so often.

Naruto groaned deliriously as his body felt on fire. Sasuke pressed his entire body onto Naruto, so that Naruto had to lift his hips off the bed in order not to crush his manhood between the weight of his own body and Sasuke’s on top of him. Sasuke moaned into Naruto’s ear as Naruto lifted his hips back into Sasuke. Sasuke rested his face into the naked crevice between Naruto’s neck and shoulder. He gently pressed his lips against Naruto’s neck, and trailed warm kisses against his shoulders, and then down his back. Sasuke increased the pressure on Naruto’s cock, but slowed his rhythm down. He could tell Naruto was enjoying the sensation, but he was tormenting him at the same time with his slow pace. Sasuke grinned as he kissed Naruto once more on the back, and then removed his hand from Naruto’s hard on to his inner thighs, and then began massaging the rest of his body. Naruto growled at the obvious teasing.

“You’re even more of a teme doped up than normal,” Naruto muttered, but gave no further complaints as Sasuke began rubbing his back again, and then the rest of his body.

However, Naruto giggled and squirmed as Sasuke began to massage his ankles and his feet.
"Stay still dobe!" Sasuke tried to command, but Naruto wouldn't stop laughing.

"Heheheheh! It -heheheheh- tickles!" Naruto tried to convey towards Sasuke, but just as Sasuke began to try and explain that if Naruto would stop moving it wouldn't tickle as much, the door to the hospital room opened. Naruto and Sasuke looked at one another frantically.

"Sasuke-kun I-" Sakura froze mid-sentence as she took in the two boys before her.
Sasuke was laying face down on the bed, his arms propped underneath his chin, his face turned slightly to the side, and his shirt riding up slightly so that Sakura could see pale skin. Naruto was standing on the side of the bed, grinning idiotically at her.

"Hi Sakura-chaaaan!" Naruto sing-songed. "Can you excuse me just one minute? I was just showing Naru- I mean Sasuke something!" Before Sakura could react, Naruto was at the door and pushing her out of it, locking it with a click.

The "Naruto" at the door vanished, revealing Sasuke in its place. The "Sasuke" on the bed vanished to reveal a still very naked Naruto.

"Quick teme! Where did you put my clothes?" Naruto spat out as he hopped off the bed. As
soon as the two of them had heard the door open, Sasuke had henged into Naruto, and Naruto had henged into Sasuke. Thankfully they thought alike. It would be strange to see Naruto lying on the bed rather than Sasuke.

"On the other side of the bed. Kami-sama, you know, it was only Sakura. I thought it was going to be one of the nurses. She could use a reality check that I don't like her," Sasuke said as he helped Naruto put his shirt on. He noticed with a smirk that Naruto had managed to undo the youkuseiryoku no justsu, and he wondered if Naruto had known how to release it the entire time, or just happened to think of it at the last second before Sakura had interrupted them. He rather hoped that Naruto had only pretended not to remember how to release it.

"Why don't you like Sakura?" Naruto asked innocently, zipping up his jacket. Sasuke stiffened at the question. The way Naruto had asked it, made it sound as though "I like her, why don't you?"

"Because I like you, dobe," Sasuke muttered. Naruto froze in mid-motion of straightening his collar, and his body went rigid. Sasuke felt like hitting himself. How'd he let that one slip out there?

"Me?" Naruto breathed in. Naruto didn't know what else to say to that statement. He liked Sasuke, but he also still kind of liked Sakura. Yet, he was here, doing these things with Sasuke, and definitely not with Sakura. And then, it hit Naruto. If Sasuke had wanted to, he could be doing all of the things he was doing to Naruto to Sakura if he so chose. A twang of jealousy filled him, quickly replaced by a small smirk as he realized that Sasuke had chosen him - over everyone. Naruto had a feeling that Sasuke could have had anyone he wanted to if he so chose. Something about that made Naruto's chest flutter in a way that none of their previous sexual activities had come close to doing.

"I like you too, teme," Naruto grinned, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. Sasuke's momentary uncertainty came and went in record time.

"That's obvious with the way you respond to me. You're also getting smarter because you realize it's futile to try and be dominant over me," Sasuke smirked.

"Teme!" Naruto drawled out angrily.

"Sasuke-kun? Naruto? Are you okay in there?" Sakura's muffled voice came from the door as they heard her try and open it. Naruto sighed and walked over to the door, unlocking it, and let Sakura in.

"Shannaro!" Sakura cursed as she whacked Naruto across the side of the head. "What did you do that for Naruto?" Sakura asked angrily, Naruto's face was a complete blank until he realized she thought that it had been him (not Sasuke henged into Naruto) that had shoved her out the door. Naruto glared at Sasuke as he sat innocently on the bed, knowing full well that the smack should have gone to him.

"Sorry..." Naruto groaned, rubbing at his throbbing head.

"Oi, Sakura, leave him alone," Sasuke said lazily. Sakura “hmphed” disapprovingly at Naruto, and then walked over to Sasuke, a bag dangling in her hand.

"Here you go, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said happily, holding out the cake. Sasuke sniffed the air.

"Sakura, that smells like ramen, not cake," Sasuke remarked, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, there's cake in there, but I got some miso ramen for Naruto as well," Sakura grinned happily. Naruto looked shocked. Sakura had bought him ramen? A large grin split over Naruto's face.

"Thank you, Sakura-chan," Naruto replied happily. Sasuke, for his part, "hmphed," trying hard not to be jealous. He wished that Sakura had walked in on him and Naruto – so that way she would know that Sasuke wasn't interested - and nor was Naruto. He was beginning to regret ever telling her that it was Naruto who had saved her. He had a feeling that she had started to like Naruto more - and not just in a friendly way. There was also this little voice in the back of his head, nagging him that Naruto had liked Sakura for ages. Just because Naruto had said he liked Sasuke didn't mean that he didn't like Sakura as well. After all, some of Sasuke’s own "fan-girls" were also interested in Hyuuga Neji. People could like multiple people at the same time. What exactly had Naruto meant when he said that he had liked him? Was it just a passing thing? Sasuke shook his head, was he just being paranoid?

"Is there a party in here that I wasn't invited to?" Kakashi asked, as his face appeared from behind the doorframe.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto and Sakura chirped out.

"You ARE having a party without me," Kakashi teased gently, pointing at the cake and ramen as he walked in. "How're you feeling?" He asked more seriously to Sasuke.

"Better," Sasuke said, realizing that Kakashi had been out of it even longer than he himself had.

"Ano-sa," Sasuke began hesitantly, his long stretch of misery coming back to him slowly, realizing that he had been out of it for a long time, "how long was I out for?"

"Umm...one month to learn the first and second part, another few days for traveling, another week to finish the third part, and then a few more days of traveling, umm...about a month and a half?" Naruto said thoughtfully. Sasuke had been about to ask what the heck Naruto had been babbling about learning the "first, second, and third parts" when he heard how long he had been out.

"A month and a half?!" Sasuke almost screamed. Kakashi stroked the back of his head.

"Maa, maa...that's not a long time. There are some shinobi who have been out of it for much longer, you know? My one professor at the academy was only there because he had been unconscious for four or five years. He taught for a year as he re-cooperated before going on more missions," Kakashi informed, knowingly. This did not help Sasuke at all. He had missed a month and a half of training, and here it sounded as though Naruto had learned a new technique within that time period. How had he done that with Kakashi laid up in bed? Then Sasuke remembered that when Kakashi and he had been training, Kakashi had mentioned something about Naruto training under the same tutor that the great Fourth Hokage had had. Naruto had learned some amazing abilities under the same man who had faced off and almost beaten Itachi. Naruto would be much stronger now.

Sasuke felt a pang as he remembered just exactly why he had been in the hospital. If Naruto was training underneath someone that Itachi had not been able to defeat flat out, then he was clearly learning things that could make him much stronger.

The image of Naruto facing off against Gaara popped into Sasuke's mind, and he wondered what other surprises Naruto had learned. His thoughts were brought rudely back to reality as Kakashi sat down on the bed next to him.

"Ah, we're going to have a few days of rest, okay?" Kakashi said brightly.

"But I need to train!" Naruto protested, and Sasuke silently agreed.

"You need to rest the most Naruto. From what Tsunade told me, I hear your heart stopped beating in the middle of a battle, and Tsunade had thought you had died. Of all of us, you came the closest to dying, and suffered the most internal damage - only four days ago I might add. Sasuke and I have been in here for some time. Our internal organs are quite fine, and all we need is a little time in therapy and our strength will be back in no time - one of the perks of having the sharingan," Kakashi said, his voice low and serious. Sakura and Sasuke both turned to stare at Naruto at the news of his near death experience. Naruto waved his hand as if it were nothing.

"My heart stopped for two seconds, and Tsunade-baa-chan said herself that I was fine!" Naruto gritted out.

"Yes, but she will shortly become the Godaime Hokage, and has said that you are specifically not allowed any missions for a week," Kakashi countered smugly.

"NANI?! That old hag! I'm going to go find her and tell her what I think about that!" and before anyone could stop him, he ran out of the room to find her.

"Naruto almost died? How?" Sasuke demanded, turning to look at Kakashi. Kakashi sighed.

"Tsunade kept the details to herself. She said I could read about it in the battle report once I had rested up. I'm actually not allowed duty for another week either, but I wasn't going to tell Naruto that," Kakashi said slyly.

"Do you enjoy tormenting your students?" Sasuke muttered. Kakashi shrugged.

"Who tried to kill Naruto?" Sakura asked. Kakashi went deathly still. For a minute he looked as though he wasn't going to answer, but then he seemed to get one of those "I'd rather you hear it from me than someone else" kind of looks.

"Orochimaru," Kakashi said, looking between both of his students. Sakura gasped and Sasuke allowed his mouth to hang open. His hand reflexively went to reach for the cursed seal, but he dropped it - not before Kakashi had seen the movement and given him a curious look.

"Why?" Sasuke once again demanded. Kakashi shook his head.

"I'm not sure," Kakashi answered. Sakura looked thoughtful, but Sasuke wasn't buying Kakashi's explanation. To him "I'm not sure" could equate to "I have theories, but I'm not going to tell you them" kind of answer.

"Mah! You should get some rest Sasuke, and Sakura, you might want to hit Naruto over the head and knock him unconscious so that he gets some good rest. A blow to the head shouldn't rattle him too much!" With that, Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"I'm going to rest now," Sasuke said, giving Sakura the hint that he wanted to be alone. He was grateful when she took the hint. She nudged the bag of food closer to him, before giving him a smile and leaving. Sasuke’s slowly opened the bag, deciding he actually felt more like eating Naruto’s ramen now than cake. What had he been thinking to ask for sweets? He broke apart the wooden chopsticks in the bag, musing that he felt almost as fragile as the wooden eating utensils.

Orochimaru had tried to kill Naruto? Why? Was Orochimaru after Naruto like Itachi was? Whatever idle happiness Sasuke had felt only thirty minutes earlier had already worn off. He wished that Tsunade had been right when she had said he would be giddy for three hours. He guessed whatever type of jutsu it was, his body was trying to overcome it. Sasuke closed his eyes, willing his mind to stop thinking about Itachi and possibly Orochimaru wanting something to do with Naruto, willing his mind to stop thinking about what Naruto had meant when he said he liked him, and for once - he was able to forget his tremulous thoughts and focus on something else, namely the pleasure he had felt in being able to seemingly control Naruto.

Yes, being dominant was something Sasuke enjoyed.

Next Chapter: Restless Traitors

Just so you know, I will be (briefly) discussing the small filler episodes in the anime 101-105, I believe, where team 7 tries to pull off Kakashi's mask, and the whole incident with Ibiki's little brother - but then off to the fight on top of the hospital, etc.

Please review! - Jelp
