Chapter 8

Sakura smiled happily up at the pale morning sky. They'd escorted a funny little old man back to his home in Wave Country during the last week. His name was Endo Akahito and he'd come to the Village of the Leaf to welcome the new Hokage on behalf of his own village. Normally it was a two day trip, tops, but with the eighty year old man plodding along down the road, at a snail's pace, it had taken five.

Sakura had to admit that she didn't mind much though. It had been a while since the whole team had traveled together like this. Naruto entertained them all with his antics and funny stories and when he ran out of things to say (it can happen) then Akahito had picked up the slack. He had lots of stories to tell about past heroes and adventures. The three youths had greedily soaked up everything. Even Kakashi Sensei occasionally peeked out from behind his precious book to listen.

He even talked about the 4th Hokage, one of the most well remembered of Konoha's leaders. When he spoke, Sakura couldn't help but notice that Naruto was silent the whole time. Normally he would laugh and make comments during the whole story, but as Akahito told the story of the Nine Tails Demon, Naruto looked thoughtful, even sad. Sakura knew that Naruto was linked in some fashion to the fox shaped demon that had terrorized the village nearly sixteen years before. She'd even tried to ask him about it later that day, but he'd only laughed and changed the subject. For the rest of the trip he'd put on a happy face and became the Naruto she knew and loved once again. Despite her curiosity about the demon, she didn't ask him again, preferring the happy Naruto to a brooding one.

After visiting some friends in the village Team 7 had decided that it was time to return. Ninjas weren't as plentiful in the village as of late, so their presence would be needed. So many had been killed during the last chuunin exam that the remaining rarely had any time off at all.

***

They had been traveling through the trees for most of the day when Kakashi called them to a sudden halt. Naruto grumbled about the abrupt halt and turned to see what Kakashi wanted. Kakashi was listening, "I could have sworn I heard something," he murmured.

Sakura and Naruto looked around curiously, while Sasuke tilted his head and tried to listen as well. Frowning Kakashi reached for his forehead protector to uncover his sharingan, just in case the attack turned out to be a serious one. Before he could complete the motion all four heard a strange whoosh and Kakashi found himself pinned against a tree.

Blinking, the three students cried out and leapt forward to help him, coughing at the smoke that had burst up around them. However, when the smoke cleared it was only Gai Sensei, standing in front of Kakashi grinning smugly. Kakashi sighed and rolled his eyes, "Gai-san."

"You're getting slow Kakashi," Gai said with a smirk.

Kakashi waved off the comment, "Yeah, yeah. Why are you here anyway?"

Gai shrugged, "The Hokage was a bit concerned about your lengthy time away from the village. She thought that perhaps you'd run into trouble, so she sent us out to give you a hand."

Kakashi grumbled a bit at Tsunande-sama's choice for a back up team. "No, no trouble. The client was just very advanced in age so it took a week to get to his village. As you can see, though, we're heading back now. Sorry you had to waste time getting here for nothing."

Sakura spoke up softly, unsure if she should interrupt the two rivals, "Gai-sensei? Did you say your team came too?"

Gai's smirk softened into a gentle smile, surprising the young woman a bit. "He's right up there Sakura-san." He pointed up into a taller tree.

Lee grinned and waved down to her. She almost couldn't stifle the girlie giggle that surfaced in her throat. She smiled and waved back, trying her hardest to quell the butterflies of happiness in her belly.

She flushed lightly as the men in her team chuckled a little at her antics. Kakashi rubbed her hair affectionately and pushed her forward, encouraging her to leap up to Lee's perch. "What are you waiting for Sakura-chan?" She grinned at her Sensei and leapt up through the branches

Lee grabbed her up in a crushing hug when she reached him, "Oh Sakura-chan! Oh I missed you…" Lee said, only to be cut off by her mouth. Ten Ten and Neji looked away, shaking their heads and sighing. Lee hadn't talked about anything but Sakura all week. Thank goodness they were back together again.

***

Once the two teams had made all of the proper greetings, they set out again for the village of Konoha. They set a hard pace, but as it started to get dark, it became clear that they wouldn't make it all the way home that day.

Kakashi and Gai made quick work of finding a small secure campsite and set the students to putting up tents. The two girls decided to share a tent to save some work. They didn't really need a tent for each person if they were big enough for two. The others followed suit. Gai and Kakashi shared the larger tent that Kakashi often carried, Lee and Neji paired up, and no one was really surprised when Naruto and Sasuke paired off.

With the sleeping arrangements settled, they all sat around a small fire and munched on fruit and dried meat from their packs. That's about all they ever took on missions and Sakura was desperately looking forward to a real meal when they finally got home the next day.

She found that she kind of enjoyed being out with another team. With so many people there were lots of stories to be told, most of them funny. They even asked Kakashi and Gai to tell the story of how they became rivals. After a short pause both of them chuckled and said they couldn't remember why, that's just they way they'd been since they were children.

On that amusing note Ten Ten and Sakura decided to head to their tent for the night. Ten Ten went to work lighting a small lantern and Sakura pulled out a pair of pj's. After changing she sat on her bedroll and sighed, "I enjoyed tonight. You guys have a great team. Even Neji-san had some great stories to tell," she said laughing.

Ten Ten grinned, "He's not really as cold as he seems is he? He has had a rough life so I guess that makes him a bit cool, but he's a nice guy." She hesitated a moment then cleared her throat, "Speaking of Neji-san, I'll be staying with him tonight," she said rolling up her bedroll.

Sakura looked at her in surprise, "You're dating Neji-san? I had no idea."

Ten Ten laughed, "No, of course not. He's a sweet guy, don't get me wrong. No, I'm dating Doggy Boy back home. Neji and I are just buddies."

Sakura frowned, "But then…why?"

Ten Ten winked and grinned, "Because YOU are dating LEE." She laughed as Sakura's eyes went wide. "He has missed you all week and is no doubt desperately waiting for some time alone with you."

Before Sakura could protest, the young woman was gone and moving silently across the quiet camp. At least the others had retired immediately after them. She clamored under her blankets and tried to calm her pounding heart. Would he come to her tent? Would they…do…anything?

She heard a slight rustle outside and a whispered voice, "Sakura-chan? Can I come in? Ten Ten kicked me out of my tent and sent me here," Lee said as quietly as he could.

"Yes, of course Lee-kun," she said blushing lightly. He ducked in and dropped his pack and bedroll. She smiled at him in the faint glow of the lantern, "Is she always so devious?"

He laughed softly and shook his head, "Not usually, but it does happen on occasion." He quickly unrolled his bed and pulled off his belt. With a sigh he flopped onto his back, "I'm glad we got sent out, even if we didn't get to do any fighting. I missed you."

She smiled and reached out to tug him closer. He smiled and scooted over, settling his blanket over his body and pulling her against him. She turned off the tiny lantern and snuggled into him. They chatted softly about everything she'd missed in the village, including Shikamaru asking Ino to marry him. She was a little bummed that she'd missed that, but could go congratulate Ino tomorrow when she got home. (We'll pretend they're old enough, in the village, to get married-okay?).

Finally they drifted into a contended silence broken only by the sound of crickets, their soft breathing and the occasional moan…wait…moan? Sakura perked up and blushed as another soft moan floated through the air.

Lee shifted, "What the…?"

Sakura had to stifle a giggle as Naruto's distinct voice murmured to Sasuke. "I can't believe we're hearing this," she whispered, trying not to laugh.

His whole torso shook with silent laughter, which burst out briefly as Sasuke moaned softly. He clapped a hand over his mouth to hush himself. "Remind me to pitch my tent far away from these two, should we ever do this again," he murmured.

She giggled and wrapped her arms around him. "For now why don't we just drown them out with our own moans?" she whispered softly.

He shuddered and pulled her tighter against his body, "What do you have in mind?"

She reached up to kiss him, her tongue snaking out to tickle his lips. Without saying a word she pulled his arm from around her waist and pulled his hand under the loose pants she'd worn to bed. She grinned against his mouth when he shuddered and groaned, realizing that she wasn't wearing any panties.

Lee could feel himself harden painfully when her tiny hand pulled his down over her bare core. For a girl who'd been fairly shy in school, Sakura was turning out to be a very bold, very sexy little female. It was all he could do to keep control of his overly excited body as she murmured softly in delight and arched into his hand.

He pushed her gently until she was on her back and he was kneeling happily between her slim legs. One hand still between her thighs, he skimmed the other up her belly and gently squeezed one small, round breast. She groaned and flexed her hips up towards him. Somewhere in the back of his head, a voice was telling him that she was getting loud, but the voice was ignored and the man inside him crowed happily each time he rang another pleasured sound from her.

He could feel her arousal building in his hand. Flesh was swelling under his careful strokes; her core was beginning to gently weep, exciting him beyond words. The delicate smell of her drifted up and wrapped around his senses until he couldn't stand it any more.

Sakura squeaked in surprise as Lee abruptly removed his hand from her body. She was a bit disappointed until he growled softly and pulled her pants down, flinging them across the tent. "Lee-kun…?" she started to ask. She was abruptly cut off by a passionate kiss. Not quite understanding what had gotten into him she pulled back a little. Seemingly unperturbed by her withdrawal he slid down her body, kissing everything that he passed along the way. Sakura's eyes widened and she gasped when she realized his intent. "Lee-kun…" she started again but was once again cut off, only this time by her own moan.

Lee skimmed his lips over her damp thighs, feeling an endless amount of pride that he'd made them get that way. The musky scent of her body was driving him wild, flinging all of his well honed control to the winds. He wondered if she tasted as nice as she smelled. With a low groan he reached up to tickle her core with his tongue. He nearly came right there as a startled, yet pleased, `oh' fell from her lips above.

Teasing aside, he buried his mouth and nose against her, inhaling deeply and shuddering with pleasure at the erotic scent. He gently sucked and lapped at the tiny nub buried in the swollen folds of her sex. She gave a muffled scream, burying face into a bundle of clothing to keep from alerting the whole camp to their activities. He chuckled, sending warm, moist breath over her sensitive flesh. Her hips flexed and moved against his mouth, urging him to continue the delightful torture.

After long, thoroughly enjoyable, minutes he felt her tense. He grinned in triumph as she moaned into the bundle and shuddered hard. As she collapsed aback, writhing from her orgasm, he discreetly wiped the drool from his chin with a corner of his blanket, and then rose up to kiss her.

Sakura murmured softly against his lips, tasting herself on him. The smell and the taste were achingly erotic, sending tingling heat through her body to pool low in her groin. She pulled Lee against her and to his surprise began to pull off his body suit. "Please Lee-kun," she whimpered.

He pulled off his clothing, but caught her hands as she reached for him, "Sakura-chan…is this what I think it is? I don't want to make any assumptions here."

She looked at him quietly for a moment then smiled at him in the dim light from the moon. "I think it is exactly what you think. I love you, truly, and I want to share all of myself with you."

He smiled and bent to kiss her, "I love you too Sakura-chan. From the first moment I met you, I knew I had to be with you. Make sure you really want this, it can't be undone."

She pulled him down next to her and moved over his body, "This is what I want, I promise."

He shuddered as she began to gently nip and kiss at his neck and chest before moving slowly down his body. She loved the feeling of his smooth skin and hard muscles under her hands. Everything about him felt so right, especially at this moment. She gently kissed the dewy tip of his swollen length, lavishing it with a little attention, before pulling up and reaching for her pack. She knew that she'd put some condoms in it two or so weeks ago, just in case. Finding the little package she was searching for she settled back and sat between his thighs.

"Sakura-chan?" he whispered softly, his voice husky with lust. "What are you doing?"

She opened the package and after a moment of fumbling figured out which way it rolled. She leaned over and laved the sensitive tip of his length again, sucking lightly. He groaned and shuddered, completely forgetting his question. Again she moved away and began to gently roll the condom down over his silky, hard flesh.

"Good call," he murmured when he felt the condom gently squeezing around his length. She moved up over him and straddled his waist, delighting in the poke of his erection against her bare rear. She pulled her shirt off so he had easy access to her body, then rose up on her knees. She felt him tense between her thighs as he guessed her intentions, likely unsure about the position. Sakura knew this wasn't the traditional way, but it seemed fitting for their relationship.

Ever so slowly she lowered, first feeling the nudge of his swollen head against her sensitive flesh, then the gradual parting of her body. He wasn't really overly large, at least from what Ino had told her of men, but the wide thickness of his length made this first little bit uncomfortable. She bit her lip and, with tiny rocks of her hips, began to ease her body around him.

Lee gripped the bedding, grasping for some sort of control over his body. He watched in the dim light as his erection disappeared into her body, visual stimulation being replaced by hot, tight physical pleasure. He winced slightly as something inside her resisted his body's intrusion then gave, leaving him high inside her and Sakura gasping in surprised pain. "Does it really hurt?" he asked gently. "We can stop love."

She looked down at him and smiled slightly, "No, it will get better in a moment, or so I'm told."

He smiled and nodded, then moved his hands to her body. He could hardly believe that his little Sakura was straddling and accepting his body, after all of this time of dreaming about it, wondering if it could ever really happen. Now here he was, his length gently nestled against her womb and her breasts in his hands. He abandoned one breast and reached down to the place where their bodies were joined, using his thumb to gently re-arouse her body.

She began to whimper at first, clenching tight muscles around his erection in a way that nearly drove him to climax without ever moving within her. Finally, to his relief, she began to move, flexing her hips over him. He couldn't believe the pleasure that coursed through his body as she glided over him, whimpering and saying his name softly.

As she neared her climax and began to move erratically over him, Lee gently held her and rolled both of them over, so he was nestled between her legs. She blinked up at him in surprise. He chuckled and began to move inside her. Gradually as her agitation increased again, he tilted forward like Shikamaru had once mentioned. The result was mind blowing. She clawed at his back and whimpered as if in distress. Her thrusting hips and trembling body told him otherwise. He could imagine that the tilt of his hips, so far forward, would provide nice friction against her swollen clitoris.

Sakura couldn't believe what she was feeling. With a small change in the angle of his hips the encounter had gone from nice to incendiary. He felt huge inside her and rubbed so deliciously over her heated flesh, she wanted to cry. Within a matter of minutes she could feel the familiar tightening and build of pleasure. Her body felt like it was one fire. Surely she wouldn't be able to stand another moment of this without going insane. Then, suddenly, her world exploded and she was screaming into his mouth and clawing at his back. She felt him shudder over her and vaguely realized, through the haze, that he'd finally lost control as well.

With a groan Lee fell against her damp body and gasped against her neck. He smiled slightly as she twitched then shuddered in the aftermath of her orgasm. "That was amazing Sakura-chan," he murmured. "Did I hurt you at all?"

She shook her head against his cheek, "No, it was wonderful. I didn't know it was like that." She blushed a little as she felt him slowly wilting inside her body, all too aware that they were still connected, and hardly believing it was possible.

He kissed her gently before moving to his knees and carefully pulling from her warmth. He pulled the condom off and tied it at the end to help ward off a likely mess. He reached over and quickly wrapped it in a handkerchief from his pack and stuffed it in one of the pockets.

She quickly readjusted the bedding so they could both climb under the blankets together. "I should go you know," he whispered. "Do we really want everyone in camp to know?"

She giggled and pulled him down next to her, "I don't think I was quiet enough for them not to know. We'll just deal with the teasing tomorrow. For now I want nothing more then to cuddle up with you and get some sleep." He smiled and settled her against him. Just as they were starting to drift toward sleep, another soft moan invaded their warm cocoon. Sakura could help but giggle, "I feel kind of sorry for Sasuke. He has a boyfriend with untold amounts of energy. Knowing Naruto, there are a few clones involved too."

Lee chuckled and shook his head in amusement, utterly content and happy to have Sakura in his arms. Not even Naruto and Sasuke's nighttime activities could ruin this for him. They finally drifted off, snuggled happily against each other.
