Cringe Pt.2

"Still... I suppose... that "guess" is acceptable as well." She then got on her toes to equal my height... moved her face closer to mine... pulled my head down... then placed her lips on mine.

I couldn't restrain myself any longer either. The feelings I'd been holding back for so long, they just couldn't be restrained any longer. We both went at it for a long time... and then, obviously out of breath, we both let off the kiss after a few seconds. I had my face pressed against the crook of her neck. I looked at her, raising my face from the crook of her neck. She was huffing loudly as her gaze roamed across my face, eventually ending up on my lips... just the same as me.

Ino curled her fists in my shirt and tugged me closer to her. I groaned softly before placing my arms around her while lifting her up. It wasn't long until we were back at it, both of us. And again... over and over again... until both of us were gasping for air... with faces as red as tomatoes. We kissed each other like crazy. "Kiss me... again... I... love it." She muttered in between gasps... had she gone insane...? Well, if she had... I had gone insane as well.

And I kissed her... mashing my lips against hers. I felt her fingers caressing my hair, bringing me closer to her. I could feel the entirety of her... pressing in on me. She feels so great. Her hands slithered up my torso like snakes on my hospital gown. I let out a few soft moans as I felt her cold hands on my body. She took my hand in hers and stared at me as we broke off the kiss. She placed it against her soft bosom... just over her heart. It was throbbing madly.

I stared back at her, and she had that look in her turquoise eyes — that look of longing. I'm not aware of what got into me when I saw it... I carried her to my bed and softly placed her in it... going down on her so. That look of longing... of desire... of wanting... I assume I had that as well, as we both bashed our lips against each other once more. My tongue then gently but assertively slips into her mouth. She momentarily widened her eyes... before having me do all I pleased with her.

My right hand explored the contours of her body... before squeezing her right breast. Her muffled moans were audible to me. She then aggressively clawed my back, curled her legs across my waist... and flipped us over. She was now on top. "Please... let me take charge." Ino whispered, undressing my shirt... her tone strikingly sweet. She had that lustful glint in her eyes. This is something we've been yearning for... another means to express our feelings to one another.

...From the top, I was now entirely nude. Ino took in a sharp breath... as she paused to gawk at my chest... mumbling something to herself that I couldn't catch. "Ino...?" She roused from her seeming trance. "H-Huh...?" "Is everything okay...? Is there anything wrong?" She shook her head to the side before giggling after a slight pause. "I'm so happy, so glad to finally have you as mine... and mine only." I chuckled, wiping that very last, terrifying bit from my memory... forever.

"...I'm glad as well. I want to be with you... and no one else. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen... the toughest... the sweetest... the..." Ino stares at me, wide-eyed. "...The best for me." Her face brightened with a wide smile as she kissed me again. "I love you." This is it... the moment I'd waited years for. "...I love you too." I smiled back. "Then, allow me to be yours... and humbly devour you." As her tone turned from soft to... seemingly sensual, Ino reached down on my body and lowered her head.

Right as everything seemed to be going smoothly. Just as she got her hands on the waistband of my trousers, eager to pull them down... some decided to cockblock me. The door to the hospital room shot open in an instant, revealing Shika, Choji... and Tsunade-sama. This wasn't awkward... or, maybe a little... well, a maybe a little more... okay, this really is awkward. Extremely awkward! Their faces... redder than my fucking hair. I noticed those two morons... snickering at me... assholes.

The Hokage's face was hot red... but this time it was red with rage. "I-Ino... you... you might want to stop this." She had been totally blind to the presence of others in the room. "H-Huh...?" She then moved her eyes to the open door. "...Shikamaru..." Her mouth fell open. "...Choji..." Her eyes widened. "...T-T-Tsunade-sama!" Yes, Ino... we messed up big time. And now... three... two... one... "...Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" That won't save us from the Hokage's wrath, Ino... and don't point your finger at me...

...Wait... is Tsunade-sama... is her fist... heading for me...?

...

That house-wrecking fist was definitely aimed at me. I was now in the office of the Hokage... Tsunade-sama's office. Geez. The way she's scowling at me! Sorry for wanting to engage in... "sexual relations" with your student... who is now actually my girlfriend! I wasn't the only one in the room with her. Ino, though she was hesitant to face everyone... maybe "embarrassed" is a better adjective... Shika, Choji, Kakashi-sensei, Sakura... and even Naruto! He and I had a bro-hug.

We hadn't seen each other... for quite some time. Shikamaru and Choji had already told him of "that"... they got a nice giggle out of it... bastards. Thank goodness Sakura wasn't aware of it... that teasing from a girl... that's something I'm not going to mess around with! "Ahem... Tsunade-sama, I believe I... or rather, we need to hear why we've been summoned to your office. Surely not just for staring at me...?" She tsked and turned her attention towards Shikamaru.

"...Shikamaru. Explain." The pineapple-head stepped forward. "Yes, Godaime-sama. I... I convened this meeting to track down... the other member of the Akatsuki duo with whom we had earlier fought... Kakuzu. In a sense... we're carrying on our previous mission as members of the Niju Shotai... and that was to contend with the threat of Akatsuki. I believe we should deal with his threat already..." Except for Team 10, everyone's brows furrowed in surprise.

"...Assuming we know where he's certain to be." "Akatsuki...?" I heard Naruto murmur. "...You're aware of his whereabouts? Source. " Shikamaru motioned towards me, and soon everyone was looking at me. "Miyuki...?" Tsunade-sama turned to face me. "Yes, I know where he is... or where he's going to be." She gave me a nod to continue. "Seeing as Hidan is..." I moved my gaze to Shikamaru. "...Tortured and buried alive." Time for some grimacing... yeah.

"...Immortality. It's a wonderful thing and a horrible thing... for two completely seperate motives, obviously." Okay, edgy guy. "...Continuing... I'm sure you've all pieced out what Akatsuki's true purpose is. It doesn't matter if you haven't; their objective still involves the capture of the Tailed Beast jinchuuriki... basically, Naruto." "...Naruto...?!" Everyone let out a gasp. "Kakuzu... he might've already captured a jinchuuriki... or two... by now. He must be coming for the Nine-Tails..."

"...For Naruto... for Konoha. Someone else would be with Kakuzu as well... given his partner, Hidan... whom he assumes is "dead." And, having been ambushed once, he's unlikely to follow the route through that bounty station again... if he's a bit smart, that is. And... that's about all I've got." "That's about all you know... everything, basically." I shrugged. Tsunade-sama then looked at Shikamaru... followed by a sigh. "...Fine. I grant you permission. Whatever your intentions may be..."

"...They must be connected with Asuma... what he had to endure. I don't oppose if you get your vendetta, Shikamaru... just don't let that get to you." Someone knocked on the door at that very moment. "Speak of the devil..." I whispered, knowing who was at the door... along with somebody I knew as well. "Come on in." And the door opened to reveal Asuma-neesan in perfect health... cigarette in mouth as always, and behind him... Yamato-sensei! My Anbu captain/mentor!

"Asuma. Yamato-sensei." "Asuma-sensei! Yamato-sensei...!" "You're late... Asuma, Yamato!" Everyone else had varying reactions. Except for our "blondie," that is... she looked very angry... as she always is. She suddenly turned to face me, her gaze intense. "Did you just call me... what that vile man calls me...?!" Her voice was eerily unsettling. "No, Tsunade-sama, I didn't." I rapidly shook my head to the side. "I will never, ever refer to you as blondie... not even in my wildest dreams." Oh... fuck.

"Right... wait...! What did you just call me?!?" I cleared my throat. "Hokage Tsunade-sama, please don't start chastising this humble one. I said "bonding," and not..." She gave me a serious look. "...That word. Interacting with people I had not seen in nearly two years. You know... bonding." She made a snort as these sagely words came from my mouth. "Sure, sure... I have seen... how you tried "bonding" with my student." That strikes the nail on the head...! I could hear Ino choking.

Poor girl... all she desired was to embrace the simple pleasures in life...! This granny, unfortunately, didn't let her do so! I promptly turned to face Yamato-sensei... things had gotten way out of hand. "Yo! Tenzo-taicho!" Then we exchanged our signature fist bumps. "Been a long time since we've seen each other... Miyuki. And, hey...! You've nearly reached my height!" I chuckled. "And guess what? I've gotten stronger than you, too." He chuckled as he ruffled my hair.

"You cheeky little!" Then I turned to face the guy... for whom I died for. "Asuma-sen-" He cut me off. "...Asuma-neesan, stupid." My brain took a while to process that. He placed his hand on my shoulder after seeing me smile. "No matter how you did it... you saved my life, Miyuki... becoming "heartless" in a literal sense." No hard feelings, Nee-san... that line was a bit corny for me. He then turned to face the other people in the room. "...I don't think most of you are aware of this..."

"...Kurenai... she... uh... she is... pregnant..." WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

"Kurenai-sensei is pregnant?!?!" In a nutshell, everyone else's reactions.
