harassed by the Lemon Plot Bunny. All I seem to churn out is smut.

Oh well.
This here is a Naruto/Kurenai fic. The idea came to me all of a
sudden at 3AM in the morning, sank its teeth in me and didn't let go.
And this Kurenai is... novel, in a way. Read and you'll see what I
mean.

Later

There, I said it. Now move on.

Wrapped in Crimson

Konoha:
Now

It was a
beautiful morning in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The birds
chirped happily on the trees' branches, basking in the warm morning
sun. The early risers in the village were already going about their
business, and the rest of the town was slowly coming to life as well.

Uzumaki
Naruto slowly woke up from what he vaguely remembered to be a very,
very pleasant dream, humming happily as he snuggled closer to the
warmth enveloping him and lightly suckled on the soft, warm object
between his lips. Absently, he thought, Mmmm, these pillows are
really soft...

His
half-awake thoughts were interrupted by a light moan coming from
above his head. The blonde boy blinked sleepily, then fully opened
his eyes and took a peek around. A few seconds later, his brain
finally processed what his senses were telling him, and his eyes
widened in shock and a noticeable amount of fear.

The reason
for his reaction was rather simple, and could be divided in a few key
considerations.

One, he
was currently snuggled up against a very shapely woman's warm, soft
body. That in itself would have been embarrassing as it was, but the
fact that they both were completely naked made the situation
go from just awkward to uncomfortably intimate.

Two, said
woman, whose face he still couldn't see due to his head being mashed
against her naked breasts, had her legs wrapped around him in a
rather sensual way, and he noticed with growing discomfort - and a
growing something else - that their private parts were pressed
against each other just enough for him to know she had no panties on.

Third, the
'pillows' he had been resting on and whose softness he had
appreciated were the aforementioned breasts, and the 'object' he had
been chewing on was one of said breasts' nipples, which now stood
proudly at attention, as if demanding to be serviced more.

Naruto
managed to just barely suppress the urge to struggle free and bolt,
and instead cautiously shifted his head around enough to see the room
he was in. He was successful in not rousing the still-sleeping woman
latched onto him, although his movement ended up rubbing his cheek
against her engorged nipples, which caused a moan to escape her lips.

Taking a
quick look around, he determined that he was definitely not in
his apartment. It was too well kept, with no cracks and missing paint
in the walls, and the decor was different. He then proceeded to try
and remember what had happened the evening before. He could remember
being invited to Iruka-sensei's birthday party, and mostly hanging
around on his own or talking with a few other people Iruka had
invited. The scarred Chuunin had then asked him a favor later in the
evening... to escort...

Naruto's
eyes widened even more as he finally remembered what had transpired
the previous evening, just as a light groan and a shifting warned him
that his female companion was finally waking up.

Frozen
with fear and not daring to move a muscle, he hesitantly raised his
head, meeting the initially sleepy, then slowly and progressively
more shocked and horrified eyes of the woman he'd consummated a night
of passion with.

"G-good
morning... Kurenai-chan..." he managed to croak with an unsteady
smile as he gazed in the deep red eyes of a startled Yuuhi Kurenai.
"Please... don't kill me? I can explain, I swear it...
Hehehe..."

As he
sweated under the beautiful jounin's shocked look, Naruto couldn't
help but remember the events that led to his current situation...

1234567890

Konoha:
Before

"Oi!
Naruto!"

Naruto
stopped walking and looked around the street he was in when he heard
a familiar voice call out his name. Spotting Iruka on the other side
of the road, he broke in a goofy grin and quickly made his way up to
his former teacher.

"Hey,
hey, Iruka-sensei!" he greeted him. "What're you doing? Are
you going to treat me to ramen?"

"What?
Forget it!" the scarred chuunin replied. "I already treated
you three days ago, and my wallet hasn't recovered yet!"

"Aw,
don't be cheap," the blonde pouted. Iruka glared at him, then
snorted in amusement.

"Well,"
he said in a studied tone, "if you think I'm cheap, then maybe I
shouldn't invite you to my birthday party tomorrow..."

That
caught Naruto's attention. If there was one thing he loved, it was
parties. It was an exceedingly rare occurrence for him to be invited
to one - so far, the only ones he'd attended to were Iruka's and, in
one occasion, Sakura's.

His
attendance to the latter had been cut short when he'd started a
ruckus with Sasuke which resulted in Sakura booting him out -
literally. Shortly afterwards, Sasuke had left as well, despite the
desperate pleas of the pink haired girl to stay, and he and the
blonde ended up exchanging insults and rudeness until they went their
separate ways.

Despite
that less than pleasant experience, he thoroughly enjoyed Iruka's
birthday parties. He always made sure to invite only people whose
opinion of Naruto was neutral at worst, so he could actually enjoy
himself without having to worry about insults and general animosity.

"Cooooooome
on, Iruka-sensei!" Naruto whined. "Don't do this to me! You
know I love your parties!"

Iruka
pretended to think it over for a while, then smiled at the blonde,
ruffling his hair. "Fine, you can come. But no complaining about
lack of ramen, understood? And no pranks!" he warned him in a
half-serious, half-affectionate tone. Naruto nodded enthusiastically.

"Promise!
What time do I have to be at your house at?"

"Seven
o'clock in the evening," he replied. "Don't be late, or all
the best snacks and sweets will be gone!"

"I'll
be on time, promise!" he assured him. "Oi, is Sakura-chan
going to be there as well?"

"Well..."
Iruka began slowly, not sure how to tell him that upon being invited,
the first thing Sakura had asked was 'Is Naruto going to be there?',
and upon his affirmative answer she had flatly turned him down,
claiming it was 'her chance to convince Sasuke-kun to go on a date'.
Opting for a gentle lie, he replied: "No, she said she had to
clean her room up. Sorry, Naruto."

"Oh,"
the boy said, looking crestfallen. he perked up shortly afterwards
though, smiling at Iruka. "Oh well. I'll still have fun. Thanks,
Iruka-sensei! You're the best!"

After a
quick hug to the chuunin, the energetic blonde ran off, excited at
the prospect of the coming party. Iruka shook his head with a smile,
then frowned slightly.

Sakura
doesn't know what she's missing out on,
he thought. She could have a gentle, devoted kid like
Naruto, but all she cares about is outward appearance. Oh well, her
loss...

Shrugging
and dismissing his thoughts on Sakura's tastes, he went on to
distribute the rest of the invitations for the party. Let's see...
next... Kurenai-san...

1234567890

The next
evening found Yuuhi Kurenai walking through Konoha's streets along
with her on-and-off friend Mitarashi Anko, as the two women headed
towards Iruka's place. That in itself would not have been
particularly noteworthy, if not for the way the two women were
dressed.

Anko wore
an outfit not unlike her official ninja gear: fishnet body, a very
short black skirt and a tight short-sleeved black tank top which left
her net-clad midriff bare. The ensemble was completed by a pair of
knee-high leather boots and a studded black leather belt. All in all,
Anko screamed 'danger' as usual.

Kurenai,
on the other hand, was dressed in an absolutely stunning red and
white kimono, which had been arranged so that it left a noticeable
amount of her cleavage exposed. A pair of short white socks and
white/red sandals completed her outfit, giving her an air of quiet
seduction that, all in all, made her as intimidating as she was sexy,
in a 'you can look, but aren't worthy of touching' way. The fact the
kimono went naturally with her hypnotic red eyes only improved the
effect.

Personally,
Kurenai found the kimono a lot more daring than her usual ninja
attire (which, despite being little more than wrappings, never
showed that much cleavage), and couldn't help but blush. But Anko had
all but bullied her into wearing it, claiming that with such a dress,
she'd have had men dropping at her feet left and right.

Unfortunately,
the psychotic Special Jounin hadn't quite realized that Kurenai
wanted to attract a good man, not keep them away by appearing
to be an untouchable goddess of some sort. At least part of the fault
for Kurenai still being a virgin at 27 was Anko's, in fact, as the
younger woman's preference for flashy, eye-catching clothes, while
appropriate for herself, tended to make men hesitant in approaching
the red-eyed jounin when she was similarly dressed. And while
Sarutobi Asuma did show interest in Kurenai, their relationship was
very on-and-off, as the lazy Team 10 instructor, much like Anko,
often made the red-eyed woman very mad, causing long periods of
break-up to grind any progress they may have made towards intimacy to
a screeching halt.

Currently,
their relationship was in one of their 'off' times, and Anko had
apparently gotten fed up with Kurenai and Asuma's indecisiveness and
constant fighting. Thus, she had taken it upon herself to, in her
words, 'ensure that she would find a man to sweep her off her feet
and make her a true woman.'

That
phrase actually made Kurenai very nervous. She could still remember
the last time Anko made a similar grandiose proclamation. The end
result had been that most of the Konoha ninja she knew cast weird
looks towards her for over a month. The memory was still enough to
horribly embarrass her.

As they
walked to Iruka's, Kurenai politely kept nodding while tuning out
most of Anko's chattering - the majority of which often dipped on the
perverted side, as she had been talking about men - and began
wondering if she'd end her days an old maid. While she was aware that
she was very attractive, she was also aware that men tended to be
intimidated by her, and rarely, if ever, approached her. Most of
those who did mistook her for a woman of loose morals, an impression
that was quickly and brutally dispelled by Kurenai herself. And the
few who didn't were either boring, did not meet her tastes or just
plain infuriated her to the point of driving her to ditch them.

Asuma
belonged to the latter category, and while to his credit he always
managed to get back in her good graces, she was beginning to get
tired of his constant habit of putting his foot in his mouth, so to
speak. The fact he was a chronic smoker and she hated smoke
did not help.

Kurenai
idly remembered her younger days, when she harbored a king-sized
crush for the Yondaime Hokage. To her, the handsome leader of Konoha
had been the perfect man - kind, gentle, caring and selfless to a
fault.

Sure, he
had his bad habits - for instance, he had a tendency to scarf down an
unhealthy amount of okonomiyaki (and how he managed to not get fat
was something Kurenai never managed to figure out), and he could
occasionally be denser than a brick wall when it came to intimate
subjects, as Kurenai herself learned when she'd attempted to ask him
out on a date (another thing she never quite figured out - how could
the disciple of the infamous master pervert Jiraiya be so completely
clueless about intimacy?). But those imperfections, in her eyes, only
served to make him even more desirable, and his tragic and heroic
death while defending the village from Kyuubi made her view of him
even more idealized.

Thinking
of the Yondaime led Kurenai to a related topic that had been on her
mind for a while now. Namely, her pupil Hinata's infatuation with the
young Kyuubi carrier, Uzumaki Naruto.

Unlike
other ninja, Kurenai had the common sense of not thinking of Naruto
and the fox as the same. While she had a healthy amount of fear for
the creature sealed within him, she also admitted the boy was far too
gentle and good-natured to be a rampaging monster of death and
destruction.

She had
also, unlike most other ninja, noticed a marked resemblance between
the Yondaime Hokage and the boy. While the Hokage never officially
had a companion, there were rumors that he had been in an affair with
a younger woman (something which left Kurenai crushed when she first
heard of it), and one of the most insistent rumors was that the woman
had become pregnant over the course of the relationship.

She had
actually asked the Sandaime about it, but Sarutobi had just shaken
his head, smiled benevolently and told Kurenai to draw her own
conclusions, without letting the ramblings of an old fool sway her.

To the
young kunoichi, that had been all the confirmation needed, and it
became a large part of the reason why she actively encouraged Hinata
to pursue Naruto. Even if he hadn't been the Yondaime's offspring,
though, there were infinitely worse choices the young girl could have
made.

Kurenai's
train of thought was rudely interrupted when Anko suddenly shoved an
elbow in her side, causing her to wince and gasp in pain. The
red-eyed jounin cast her friend an accusing glare, to which Anko
replied with her characteristic smirk.

"Sorry
to interrupt your daydreaming, Kurenai," she snickered, "but
we're here, so you might want to pay attention. ...by the way, what
were you thinking about?"

"Oh...
nothing," she replied. "Just... a boy that my student
Hinata seems to have a crush on. I wonder if she'll ever gather the
courage to tell him..."

"Ah,
I see," Anko nodded sagely. Waiting until Kurenai was about to
climb the stairs to Iruka's apartment, the snake jounin then took her
potshot: " You should have told me before, Kurenai-chan. I had
no idea you liked them so young..."

To her
credit, Kurenai managed to avoid collapsing to the ground in a heap
after she stumbled. Her dirty look at Anko was met with the younger
woman's roaring laughter. Deciding to at least keep some dignity, she
straightened up, smoothed her kimono and climbed the stairs, with
Anko following at a slower pace due to her uncontrollable laughing.

1234567890

A few
minutes after Anko and Kurenai made their grand entrance (and it had
been grand - practically every eye was glued to either woman,
although none of the men had made so much as a move towards the
red-eyed kunoichi, clearly intimidated by her beauty), The door of
Iruka's apartment opened and Naruto happily skipped in, clad in his
characteristic orange jumpsuit. Upon noticing him, Iruka muttered and
made his way over to the blonde.

"Oi,
Naruto," he hissed, grabbing him as he darted around and glaring
at him. "Couldn't you put on something nicer? It's always orange
with you!"

"Well,
I don't have anything better," Naruto replied in a
petulant tone. "You know nobody will sell me anything if they
can help it..."

Iruka's
gaze softened. "Right... sorry, Naruto," he apologized,
motioning for him to follow. "Come on, I'll show you to the
buffet. Kakashi-san and Gai-san are also here..."

"What!
You invited Super Fuzzy-Eyebrows?!" Naruto said loudly. "And
you complain about me not dressing nicely?"

"Gai-san
actually changed his clothes to come here, Naruto," Iruka
pointed out as he indicated the eccentric jounin. Naruto followed his
index finger and took a look at Gai.

And
looked.

And
looked.

And then
collapsed to the floor in a fit of laughter, joined by a discreet
snickering by some of the jounin who were closer to him and overheard
the exchange between the blonde and the scarred chuunin.

Over at
the buffet table, Gai (who had decided to wear a smoking jacket, and
actually looked worse in it than in his trademark spandex
suit, resembling a penguin with two caterpillars over his eyes)
looked over, saw Naruto laughing on the floor and smiled at Kakashi,
who was leaning on the wall and sipping some sake. Although, exactly
how he drank with his mask on, no one will ever know.

"Ah,
my eternal rival!" he proclaimed, gaining an eyeroll from the
silver haired jounin. "I see the flames of youth burn strong
within your pupil! It is a shame that Lee was unable to attend this
most excellent party, or the two of them together would surely have
blinded all the present with their shining youthfulness!"

Kakashi
rolled his eyes again. "Yes, Gai... whatever you say," he
replied in a bored tone, then added under his breath: "...although
I suspect Naruto is laughing at your dress, not because of
youthfulness..."

"Did
you say something, rival Kakashi?" Gai smiled at him. Kakashi
schooled his face in a perfectly cheerful smile and shook his head.

"Who,
me? Nope. Not a word."

1234567890

Two hours
later, the party had mostly become routine socializing. Most ninja
had divided themselves in small groups, usually composed of people
acquainted with each other.

Naruto had
been one exception - after chatting with Iruka a bit and inhaling a
good amount of food at the buffet (he was a glutton for anything that
met his tastes, though his rate of eating other food was nothing
compared to ramen), he headed over to Kakashi and Gai and talked to
them as well - or rather, talked to Kakashi and endured Gai's
lectures on youthfulness and hard work.

Afterwards,
he'd randomly wandered around the apartment, poking his head in a few
places - and quickly leaving the vicinities of a room when he caught
a couple - Inuzuka Hana and Shiranui Genma, if memory served - in the
middle of a heavy make-out session. The growl coming from Hana paired
with the glare from Genma ensured that not only would he leave
quickly, but would not talk to anyone about what he saw.

Besides
Naruto, someone else was also left to their own devices. Kurenai had
been discreetly abandoned by Anko with a wink, as the snake jounin
aggressively went after the young chuunin proctors Izumo and Kotetsu.
She'd met the two youths during the last Chuunin Exams, and they'd
quickly started a rather steamy threesome relationship. Neither Izumo
nor Kotetsu held any illusion as to Anko's feelings: it was a pure
'sex friends' arrangement, and all three were happy with it.

Unfortunately,
Anko's attempt to make Kurenai look available backfired. While
before, the younger woman's presence made approaching Kurenai seem
doable, if very dangerous, now she appeared to be off-limits, and
none of the young men glancing at her dared approach her alone. Being
acutely aware of that situation, Kurenai had taken to drowning her
sorrows in sake, conscious that this night would be yet another
fiasco.

That,
however, led to an interesting side effect on Kurenai that few
actually knew about. Namely, she could not take alcohol.

It was a
bit ironic, really. Kurenai did enjoy drinking alcoholic beverages
from time to time, including red wine after dinner. However, she had
one of the worst tolerance levels for alcohol known to man, which was
exactly why she actively avoided drinking too much of it in public.
While her case wasn't as bad as Rock Lee's, she still got tipsy after
just two, sometimes even only one shot of sake, and three or four
shots generally left her plastered.

She was
currently on her third shot, and people were actually beginning to
notice and raise eyebrows. It wasn't often that calm, collected Yuuhi
Kurenai let herself go, let alone wasted herself in public.

The
situation finally drew Iruka's attention. The scarred chuunin was one
of the few who knew of Kurenai's abysmal tolerance to alcohol, and
that coupled with some unhealthy stares he noticed the younger men
cast at Kurenai made him take action. While he knew that the kunoichi
had been complaining about her nonexistent sex life, he rather
doubted she'd appreciate being taken advantage of while inebriated,
and as much as he liked to think none of his acquaintances would do
it, he also knew that the flesh was weak before the temptation of so
much vulnerable beauty.

That was
what prompted him to track Naruto down and pull him apart from the
crowd. At Naruto's questioning glance, he grimaced and scratched his
head.

"Er...
Naruto, I need a huge favor from you," he asked slowly. The
blonde's face lit up at that, confusing him slightly.

"Sure,
Iruka-sensei!" he nodded enthusiastically. "I was done here
anyway, and if I can do you a favor as a birthday gift, then it's
OK!"

Iruka
couldn't help but smile at that. So that's why he looked
embarrassed when he spoke to me during the evening, he thought.
He thought that he had to bring me a present...

"Well,
I'll certainly appreciate that, but it may be a hassle..."

"Nothing's
a hassle for the future Hokage!" Naruto boasted. "I'll do
it! What is it?"

"Okay...
you see, Kurenai-sensei... how can I put it... can't take alcohol
very well, but overdid it a little this evening, and needs to be
escorted home. I don't trust anyone else with doing it but you... the
others might get too... grabby, you know?"

"Eck,
perverts," Naruto commented with a face, then smiled. "Sure,
I'll do it! Kurenai-sensei lives near the Hokage tower, doesn't she?"

"Yes,
this is the address," Iruka nodded, giving Naruto a piece of
paper. "I'm counting on you, Naruto. Keep her safe,
okay?"

"I'll be a perfect genetel... getenl... um...
good guy!" Naruto exclaimed, stumbling on the word. "So,
where is she?"

Nodding in
satisfaction, Iruka led him to the drunk Kurenai, who in the
meanwhile left the 'tipsy' zone to fall in the 'drunk as a skunk'
area. After a bit of an awkward moment where the inebriated woman
hugged him and giggled, Iruka and Naruto managed to escort her at the
base of Iruka's home's stairs. From there, Iruka stood and watched
until the red-eyed woman and the blonde boy supporting her unstable
frame disappeared in the night.

As he
turned to head back upstairs, Iruka felt a slight chill sweep across
his back. Casting one last glance in the direction Naruto had
disappeared, he searched for whatever it was that had caused his
unease. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, he dismissed his feeling
as a trick of the night, and made his way back to the party.

Several
minutes later, Anko glanced at the table she'd left Kurenai at as she
prepared to leave with Izumo and Kotetsu. Seeing it empty, she
couldn't contain a grin.

Score!
she thought. Get'im good, Kurenai-chan!

1234567890

A few
minutes later, Naruto reached Kurenai's apartment and began fumbling
with the keys to the door while precariously balancing himself and
the drunk woman he was supporting. After several seconds, some
grunting and a close call with a catastrophic fall off the stairs, he
managed to unlock the door and kick it open, muttering something
under his breath about how triple-locks were an invention of a
particularly sadistic demon.

As he
closed the door with another kick, causing the locks to snap back
into place (apparently, Kurenai was paranoid enough to not want
someone to get in on the off chance she accidentally forgot to lock
her house) and moved towards the closest chair, Kurenai snuck another
glance at him. While she was still very inebriated and wasn't quite
thinking straight, she was capable of enough thought to consider
Naruto's likeness to the late Yondaime and somewhat wistfully wish
he'd been interested in her and not the Haruno girl.

Had he
jounin been sober, she'd have squashed such thoughts mercilessly
under an iron fist. However, the alcohol in her body had considerably
lowered her inhibitions, and this coupled with her frustration for
the dismal failure the evening was turning out to be made such
thoughts linger more than they should have. And having someone who
looked so much like a younger Yondaime so close to her was oh so
tempting...

Upon
reaching the chair, Naruto prepared to lower the older woman on it,
but his action was met with resistance as Kurenai refused to sit. His
interrogative glance to the jounin was met with a shake of her head.

"Not...
here," she whispered. "Too... drunk to... make it to my...
room. Please, carry... me there?"

Naruto
couldn't help but blush at that. While he fully intended to keep his
promise to Iruka (in no small part because his 'naughty fantasies'
were rather miserable, having taken most of them from pin-ups in
discarded softcore magazines), this would have been the first time
he'd entered a girl's room, even if the 'girl' was a woman over twice
his age. The fact Kurenai was admittedly very attractive and
currently leaning on his shoulder in such a way that her cleavage was
pressed into it didn't make him feel much more at ease. Still... she
asked for his help, and a future Hokage had to help those who asked,
didn't he?

Turning
around and shifting the red-eyed woman around to better support her
weight, Naruto shambled towards the corridor leading to the rooms. A
few minutes and some effort later, he managed to get her in the
bedroom without bumping into the doorframe and carefully set her down
on the bed. Kurenai sighed as she let herself fall on her back, shook
her sandals off and threw her legs on the bed as well.

Naruto
couldn't help but stare at her, as her actions had uncovered a
considerable amount of flesh - her smooth legs were almost completely
visible, as the kimono had come slightly undone during the previous
movements, and her breasts were just barely decent due to the fabric
covering the nipples, but were otherwise pretty much exposed.

His
staring was interrupted by a giggle, and Naruto blushed as he
realized the woman caught him looking. He opened his mouth as if to
apologize, but Kurenai waved a hand in dismissal.

"Don't
worry about it, Naruto-kun," she murmured with a smile, one hand
resting on her forehead and the other dangling off the bed. "I'd
be worried if you didn't look. It'd mean I'm ugly."

"What?
No! You aren't ugly, Kurenai-sensei!" Naruto quickly denied,
under the mistaken impression he'd insulted her. "You look
really good, that kimono is great on you and you're hot..." he
trailed off as he realized what he'd just said, then blushed again.
"Um... I said that out loud, didn't I?"

"Yes,
you did," Kurenai informed him in another fit of giggles. "Thank
you, though. It's nice to be appreciated."

Naruto
scratched his head sheepishly, feeling very awkward. He was
embarrassed enough that he failed to notice a strange light appear in
the jounin's red eyes as she looked intently at him. Unconsciously
licking her lips, Kurenai raised an arm to attract the blonde's
attention.

"Say,
Naruto-kun... come closer for a minute..." she beckoned. The
blonde blinked, then tentatively moved a few steps closer to her. She
made an impatient gesture with her hand. "No... closer. I want
to take a look at your eyes..."

A half
confused, half nervous Naruto complied, drawing even closer and
leaning slightly forward. His eyes immediately locked with the older
woman's, and he couldn't help but notice that the peculiar color gave
them an exotic look. Wow, she's prettier than Sakura-chan... way
prettier, he found himself thinking.

"...you
look just like him..." Kurenai murmured, causing him to snap out
of his reverie. "The same eyes, the same hair... even the same
attitude... I'll bet you even go out of your way to help those you
care about, don't you?"

"Uh..."
Naruto began, unsure of what exactly to say.

That was
when Kurenai struck. Her hand shot out, faster than lightning, and
hooked behind his head, pulling him down. Naruto barely had time to
register what was happening before he found the older woman's soft
lips pressed firmly against his own.

Shocked by
Kurenai's sudden action, the blonde was unable to put up any sort of
resistance when she pulled him on top of her, and instinctively
parted his lips when the jounin's warm tongue lightly probed them,
giving the woman full access to his mouth.

After
several seconds during which Kurenai firmly hugged him against her
body and fiercely kissed him, Naruto finally reacted and with a
mighty push disentangled himself from her. Stumbling backwards, he
panted as he looked at the now sitting woman, who was staring at him
with an unnervingly... hungry... gaze.

Somehow,
he wasn't completely sure alcohol was entirely responsible for her
actions.

"What
the hell! Kurenai-sensei! What was that for?" he yelled,
pointing a finger at her. His protest was made a lot less convincing
by his unconscious reflex to lick his lips, something that the
inebriated jounin did not fail to notice. An uncharacteristic smirk
spread across her face.

"You
didn't like it, Naruto-kun? I suppose I'll have to do better than
that with the next one, then..." she murmured in a tone that
made Naruto shiver. The blonde's eyes widened as he realized the
older woman was about to assault him and try to kiss him again, and
he began to turn around to run out of the door.

To his
credit, he managed about one and a half steps and dodged the first
kunai the jounin threw at him before three more cut his sandals'
elastic band, another two severed his pants' belt and the remaining
two pinned the bottom half of said pants' legs to the floor, causing
him to trip and collapse to the ground.

Twisting
around in an attempt to free his snagged pants, Naruto froze upon
seeing that Kurenai had dismounted from the bed and slid to the floor
on all fours, giving him an unobstructed view of her breasts as she
slowly crawled over to him, licking her lips. After staring
mesmerized at her pink tongue slowly running over her red lips, the
blonde finally unfroze, and with a quick and desperate plan in mind,
he made a series of handseals.

"Oiroke
no Jutsu!" he shouted, and with a poof he turned into his female
Henge, although this time he opted for a bikini instead of the usual
clouds in strategic places. Seeing Kurenai pause and blink in
surprise, he chuckled nervously, hoping she'd fall for the bluff and
let him go.

"Hehehe...
See, Kurenai-sensei? I'm a girl now. Girls can't kiss and touch each
other and all that, can they? Now let me go..." he ventured.
Kurenai blinked again, then her eyes narrowed and she held two
fingers up, concentrating as best as her admittedly intoxicated mind
could.

"Kai,"
she whispered. Naruto could only stare in horror as his Henge
dissipated, leaving him still pinned to the floor and in his male
appearance again. Seeing she had resumed crawling over to him, he
tried one last attempt to reason with her.

"Kurenai-sensei,
stop! You're drunk!" he shouted as the jounin began to straddle
him. "Don't do this! You'll regret it..."

His
protests were silenced by a slender finger against his lips. Looking
at Kurenai, he saw her smile at him as she looked down, her black
hair cascading around his face.

"I
might be drunk, yes... but I still want this. Please, Naruto-kun..."
she breathed, then leaned down and kissed him, causing him to freeze
up. After a few seconds, she broke the kiss and continued: "Don't
you always say you're going to be the Hokage? Isn't the Hokage
supposed to take care of his people's needs?" She kissed him
again, this time only briefly, while unbuttoning his shirt and
finished: "I need this, Naruto-kun. I need you. Don't say
no..."

Those
words were enough to bury Naruto's resistance and doubts. While he
was still agitated, he found that he was also completely unable to
say no to a pleading girl, especially one as beautiful as Kurenai.
And the sensations from her kisses and her hands lightly roaming
across his chest were also a large part of why he caved in. But what
truly killed his resolve was the exact words Kurenai had used.

She needed
him.

Naruto had
never felt needed in his life. His greatest desire had always been to
be acknowledged. Now, Kurenai was offering him this acknowledgement,
and went as far as to say she needed him. It was something he
had wanted too much to refuse. With a sigh of surrender, Naruto
nodded.

"What
do you want me to do, Kurenai-chan?" he asked, hesitantly using
the endearing term. The jounin smiled brightly at his acceptance.

"Just...
let me be your woman for tonight." she breathed in his ear,
causing him to shiver. She then resumed kissing him, and this time he
did not resist.

Now,
Naruto was pretty much clueless about sex - he didn't trust anything
Jiraiya said, never touched an issue of Icha Icha Paradise, and his
raunchiest exposure to intimate activities had been the pin-ups he
used to devise the Oiroke no Jutsu and the occasional kissing he'd
noticed couples did.

However,
he also happened to be a very fast learner, as both Jiraiya
and Tsunade could attest. Seeing how he had figured out the Rasengan
in less than a month, it should come as no surprise that after the
initial clumsiness and fumbling, he got the hang of kissing in mere
minutes. That pleased Kurenai greatly: while kissing him was pleasant
in itself, having him respond and actually do it well made the
experience even better.

The
red-eyed jounin spent the next few minutes ravaging Naruto's mouth
with her tongue, and being ravaged herself by his own. The blonde,
for his part, had begun mimicking Kurenai's actions on her own body,
hesitantly at first (as he'd learned from observation that getting
grabby with a girl tended to get you slapped - hard), then with more
and more confidence as Kurenai made no move to hit him in
retaliation, and instead shifted subtly to encourage him and give him
more access to her body.

After a
while, the older woman decided she wanted more contact between them.
Pausing in her kissing, she tugged at Naruto's jacket. After blinking
in confusion for a few seconds, the boy got the hint, remembering how
she had unbuttoned it earlier, and shifted to help her remove it. He
then moved to lie down again, but Kurenai held him by his shoulder
with a hand and shook her head slightly.

"Let's
move to the bed..." she whispered, her breathing accelerated.
"The floor is too uncomfortable..."

Naruto's
heart skipped a beat. Jiraiya had mentioned something about beds
being where men and women became intimate, but he'd dismissed what
he'd been saying as the usual pointless drivel. Now he wasn't so sure
the old letch's words were all useless chattering anymore. Still,
given the pervert's track record with women, he wisely decided to not
trust his words and let Kurenai take the lead. Taking her offered
hand, Naruto rose to his feet and let his ruined pants fall to the
floor. Clad in only his boxer shorts, the demon vessel willingly
followed as Kurenai backed towards the bed, joining her in sitting on
the edge of the mattress with an uncertain smile and a weakly
murmured comment on her beauty.

Sensing
Naruto's hesitation, Kurenai took the lead and aggressively leaned
in, capturing his lips again. As she kissed him, she shifted her
right leg around so that it rested on the bed, then laid herself down
on her back and pulled Naruto so that he'd be on top of her, resting
between her legs. The young boy blushed even as he returned her kiss,
acutely aware of the position he was in... and especially aware of
how uncomfortably tight his boxers had become.

Kurenai
smiled inwardly as she felt the hard bulge in Naruto's underwear rub
against her crotch. Anko had convinced her to wear the kimono as
tradition demanded, with no undergarments at all, and while she'd
been horribly embarrassed about it at first, she actually was glad
for it now, as it let her feel everything unobstructed. Moaning
slightly, she tentatively rubbed her groin against the tent in
Naruto's boxers and was rewarded with a pleasant jolt that left her
feeling warm and sexy.

Breaking
the kiss again, she pushed Naruto back a bit until he was kneeling
between her legs and looked in his eyes, panting. The blonde boy
returned the gaze, still rattled by the sudden burst of pleasure and
want he'd felt when the woman under him rubbed herself against
him. His dick was so hard by now that it was painful, and he felt an
overwhelming urge to touch and kiss every inch of her body.

Seeing the
lust in Naruto's eyes, Kurenai decided to try something she'd seen
Anko do in one of her 'homebrew' movies. Reaching for her kimono's
belt, she slowly began to untie it, making sure to exaggerate every
movement so that Naruto would notice them, her eyes never leaving his
face. Once the knot was undone, she opened the kimono with equally
slow movements, progressively revealing her body to the blonde boy's
eyes. She smiled as she saw hunger and hesitation flicker across his
face, and decided she had tormented him enough.

"You
can touch, Naruto-kun," she whispered throatily to him as she
reached for his hands and placed them on her breasts. "In fact,
I want you to touch... and lick... and suck..."

Naruto
felt his mouth go dry at those words, the ache in his groin growing
almost unbearable. Unable to resist, he leaned down until his face
was mere millimeters away from her left breast's delicate pink
nipple. After a brief moment of hesitation, he looked at her, and at
her nod, he tentatively licked it.

The
pleased hum that left Kurenai's throat did not feel like a sound
she'd make if he was doing something wrong, he decided, and he let
instinct take over as he began to eagerly attack the pink nub with
his tongue, lapping, sucking and lightly biting it until it was hard
with arousal. Then, upon Kurenai's prompt, he switched to the other
one and gave it the same treatment, experimenting while alternating
with both until he found the exact combination of pressure and
stimulation that appeared to please the older woman the most.

By then,
Naruto's dick felt as if it was about to explode, and Kurenai herself
was very wet as well. Licking her lips, she pulled lightly on
Naruto's hair, causing him to stop his ministrations and look up at
her with a questioning glance.

"Take
your boxers off, Naruto-kun," she said breathlessly, a faint
blush adorning her cheeks. At Naruto's startled look, she repeated
her demand, licking her lips in a way that made him shiver.

Slowly,
hesitantly, the blonde pulled his boxers down and blushed as his
erect penis stood proudly at attention, pulsing slightly. While
Naruto wasn't big, he was not small either. If Kurenai had to judge
him based on what she knew of medical records, she'd have said it was
'just right.' Which, given his age, was actually quite good.

Of course,
right now her mind was far from thinking such thoughts. She was far
more interested in trying something she'd seen in porn flicks,
something which men seemed to enjoy greatly.

Changing
position so that she was on all fours and level with Naruto's crotch,
she grasped his shaft and squeezed it lightly, drawing a startled
gasp from his lips. "Mmmmm... you have a nice cock," she
said as she gave it a few experimental strokes, which solicited more
gasps and groans from the blonde, then smiled mischievously, lowered
her head and gave the boy's hard shaft a slow lick from balls to tip.

Naruto
almost lost it at that point. It was only the sharp pain from his
nails digging into his palms that distracted him enough to avoid
blowing his load on Kurenai's face right there and then. His loud
groan, the clear twitch of his dick and the jerking of his hips,
however, were more than proof enough for Kurenai to smile. Yes, this
was definitely having an effect on the boy.

After
waiting for a couple minutes for Naruto to regain his breath and
compose himself, Kurenai once again started licking his shaft. This
time, however, Naruto was ready and controlled himself, gritting his
teeth in an effort to enjoy the amazing sensations Kurenai was giving
him as long as possible.

While the
kunoichi was completely inexperienced and was going more or less by
trial and error, the same could be said of Naruto, so her clumsy
ministrations still succeeded in arousing him to previously
unimagined levels. The occasional mistakes actually turned out to be
a good thing, as without those blunders he'd probably have climaxed
within minutes - although the teeth scraping incident was admittedly
rather unpleasant and had caused a brief interruption of the oral
ministrations while Kurenai blushed and apologized profusely to a
grimacing Naruto.

However,
all good things come to an end, and in Naruto's case, that was when
Kurenai took things one step further. Briefly stopping her licking,
she slowly pumped Naruto's dick as she looked in his eyes. Then,
never breaking eye contact, she slowly, agonizingly slipped Naruto's
cock past her lips and fully in her mouth.

Naruto
never stood a chance. Seeing her lick and suck at his shaft had been
exciting enough, but the sight of his cock disappearing between the
red-eyed woman's hungry lips was too much for him. Before his cock
was halfway in her mouth, he arched his back with a strangled cry and
came, hard.

Kurenai
had just enough warning to keep from choking. When she felt the first
splash of his cum hit the roof of her mouth, she considered drawing
back and letting him come over her, but decided against it, and
simply waited, lips wrapped around his dick as she lightly suckled on
it, until he finally stopped shuddering and emptying himself in her
mouth. Pausing slightly to give one last suck, she slowly drew back
from the deflating shaft and let it pop out of her mouth with a wet
sound.

Lifting
herself to a kneeling position, she rolled Naruto's seed around in
her mouth, trying to decide how it tasted. Salty, but not too bad,
she thought. Her gaze then fell on the panting boy before her, who
was looking at her with a curious expression, and she made her
decision.

Naruto,
who had been looking at her with a mix of curiosity and concern -
after all, he'd just done... something... in her mouth -
stared with wide eyes as he saw her throat clearly contract when she
swallowed his cum in two quick gulps. His dick twitched at the sight,
and he felt an almost irresistible urge to shove the woman down and
lick, suck and squeeze her body until it was coated in his saliva and
she was screaming his name.

Kurenai
smirked inwardly as she licked her lips clean with a slow, sensual
move, clearly seeing the lust in Naruto's eyes. Giving him a
half-lidded stare, she finished discarding her kimono, letting it
fall on the floor at the bedside, then returned to the bed's center
and laid on her side, motioning for him to come closer with a slim
finger. Naruto promptly obeyed, and she motioned again for him to get
his groin closer to her face.

Smiling in
satisfaction at seeing that the boy's cock was already half-erect,
she wasted no time in engulfing it with her warm mouth again,
prompting Naruto to moan loudly as she swirled her tongue around the
still-sensitive head, intent on getting it nice and hard... just how
she wanted to feel it inside herself.

For an
undetermined amount of time, the only sounds in the room were
Naruto's gasps and the wet, obscene slurping sounds made by Kurenai
as she sucked Naruto's dick, her own drool covering her chin as it
dribbled out of her mouth. The older woman had always been convinced
she'd hate this activity - she thought it'd feel demeaning and dirty
- but to her surprise, she found that she loved the feel of a nice
warm cock pulsing and growing hard between her lips. It made her feel
powerful and sexy, to know she could have that effect on a male, and
she especially loved the taste of it... although perhaps it might
just be Naruto's taste that she loved, she thought somewhat
confusedly.

Finally,
the red-eyed woman drew back, much to the blonde's relief as he was
starting to feel dizzy from too much pleasure, and eyed her handiwork
with approval. Naruto's cock was slick and shiny with her saliva, a
thin trail of it still connecting her lips to its head. Giving it one
last lick, Kurenai then looked up to Naruto.

"Now
it's your turn to please me, Naruto-kun," she moaned lustfully
as she repositioned herself on her back and spread her legs. Naruto
swallowed a lump in his throat as he got his first good look at the
female anatomy, and Kurenai, noting his reaction, smiled slightly and
spread herself open with her fingers, letting him see just how pink
and wet it was. A thin rivulet of fluid seeped out of it and dribbled
on the sheets.

"Naruto-kun...
I licked you. Now I want you to lick me..."

Naruto
gulped again, then moved closer to the jounin's cunt. He stopped
briefly as he hesitated, then decided that Kurenai was right - she'd
done something amazing for him, and if he could make her feel as good
as he felt, then he would do it. Closing in on the woman's spread
pussy, he gave it a tentative lick.

Kurenai's
approving hum reassured him, and he began to experiment with this new
and fascinating part of the female body. Privately, he took notes on
it, mentally promising himself to try and apply them to his Oiroke no
Jutsu and make it even more perfect, then he shoved those thoughts
aside and concentrated on trying to find out how to make his lover
moan the loudest.

Naruto
quickly decided he liked it when Kurenai ran her hand through his
hair. Not only did it feel nice, but it also let him know he was
hitting a good spot. He had quickly discovered that the small fleshy
nub above the red-eyed jounin's pussy was a very sensitive
spot and, remembering all too well how unpleasant it felt when
Kurenai had accidentally dragged her teeth across his cock, made sure
to treat it as delicately as possible while still applying enough
force for the woman to find it pleasant.

At one
point, Kurenai told him to stick his finger inside her. He'd looked
at her with a shocked expression, but she'd insisted and he ended up
indulging her. He'd been surprised by how pleasant it felt to push
his finger in her hot, moist vagina. It was slick and warm, and
pulsed slightly around his invading digit, wrapping it in a soft grip
every time he thrust it in and out of her tight passage.

Noticing
that Kurenai seemed to enjoy the activity, Naruto decided to get
creative and began to lick and suck at her while simultaneously
finger-fucking her. The effect was definitely worth the effort, as
the woman's moans became groans and gasps. The blonde felt oddly
pleased by that. He just... liked... the knowledge that he was the
one causing those sounds to escape the beautiful woman's lips.

Eventually,
Kurenai lightly pulled on his hair, causing him to stop his
activities. When he shot her a questioning glance, she smiled
seductively at him and reached out, brushing his hard dick with her
fingers.

"Th-that's
enough," she gasped, wetting her lips and giving his cock a
gentle squeeze. "Why don't we try..." slowly, she led his
aching prick to her drooling opening, and whispered, "this..."

Naruto
stared at her, speechless, then looked at her cunt, then at her hand,
still lightly caressing his cock, and back to her cunt again. M-my
cock in there? he thought incredulously. He had the memory of how
her mouth felt around it all too fresh in his mind, but the way her
tight canal had contracted and gripped at his finger was on an
entirely different level. And considering how tight it had felt with
just one finger (which was nowhere near as thick as his erect
penis was), would it even fit without hurting her?

Something
had to have shown on his face, because as soon as the blonde made to
voice his doubts the woman anticipated him, stroking his cheek with
one hand as she fondled his balls with the other.

"Naruto-kun...
please. I need it," she pleaded in a sexy tone. "Don't
worry... I want it. You have no idea how much I want it..."

The
pleading and expression with which she addressed him once again made
Naruto cave in and comply. Swallowing nervously, he moved between her
legs as she instructed him. Pausing briefly, he watched his hard dick
twitch mere centimeters away from Kurenai's engorged outer lips,
unsure of what to do. Sensing his hesitation, she smiled up at him,
then reached between her legs and positioned the cockhead at the very
entrance of her tunnel.

"Now
push," she told him breathlessly, her body eagerly anticipating
the feeling of a hard cock splitting her pussy open for the first
time. Naruto briefly glanced at her lovely, sweat soaked face, then
nodded. Bracing himself with both arms at her sides, he began to
slowly and carefully push in.

The
red-eyed woman threw her head back and moaned unabashedly, savoring
the delicious feeling of the blonde's cock penetrating her virginal
opening. Licking her lips, she tangled her fingers in his hair,
gasping as she felt herself stretch to accommodate her lover.

While
Kurenai was an adult, and Naruto much younger, she was nonetheless
still a virgin, even though her hymen had torn during training years
before, and thus was so tight that it was a snug fit, something which
made both love every second of it. To the older woman, it felt as a
part of herself that had been missing was finally being returned, and
she enjoyed the feeling of fullness that Naruto's dick brought her as
it sank deeper and deeper in her aching body.

For his
part, Naruto immediately realized he would not last very long at all
inside the red-eyed woman's hot pussy unless he took things very
slowly. What he had felt with his finger was now magnified a
hundredfold, her hungry canal greedily pulling him in and twitching
all around his shaft as he slowly worked more and more of it in.

Eventually,
Naruto's groin made contact with Kurenai's, his cock fully inside
her. The blonde paused to catch his breath and let them both adjust
to the new sensations, as well as to let some of his own excitement
die down, lest he come too soon. He then followed the woman's earlier
instructions and withdrew from her, wincing as he felt her grip his
shaft as if unwilling to let go. He pulled out almost completely, and
then began to push back in, hissing as he once again felt her pull
him in.

Naruto
kept his slow rocking motion, pausing every now and then to let his
excitement die down somewhat and to take advantage of his head being
at the level of Kurenai's breasts to service them. Then Kurenai
locked her legs around his waist and commanded him to go faster.
Already feeling another climax approaching, Naruto complied, hoping
that he'd last long enough to satisfy her, and picked his pace up. At
her request, he steadily increased his pace, until he was pounding
into her for all he was worth.

Feeling
himself quickly approach the point of no return, Naruto began to suck
and bite Kurenai's nipples, wanting to hear her scream his name at
least once in the night. The jounin's shrieks became louder, and he
noticed she'd become slightly tighter around him. However, the added
tightness proved too much for the blonde boy, who thrust into the
jounin's receptive body a few more times before shoving himself in as
deep as he could, his body going rigid and a deep grunt escaping his
lips as he shot his second and final load of the night inside of the
beautiful red-eyed woman.

Fortunately,
Kurenai herself was at her very limit, and Naruto's final, harsh
thrust, which caused his shaft to rub against her clitoris, coupled
with the feel of his cum filling her pussy and his sweaty body
grinding against hers, was all she needed to be sent over the edge as
well.

With a
shrill scream of "Naruto-kuuuuuuuuun!" which was
thankfully absorbed by the building's walls, Kurenai came hard, the
pressure from her legs wrapping his waist becoming almost painful as
she contracted violently around Naruto's cock, milking every
remaining drop of semen from it as she thrashed and bucked wildly
under the younger boy.

Exhausted,
Naruto fell on top of the older woman, panting harshly as his head
rested between her full breasts, his slowly deflating cock still
firmly lodged inside her pussy. Eventually, he tiredly pushed himself
up and rolled on his side, his now flaccid dick leaving the woman's
tight cunt with a 'pop'. Looking up, he saw her look at him with a
tired, satisfied smile. Then, Kurenai rolled on her side to face him,
wrapped her legs around his waist and drew him in an embrace, holding
him to her breasts and murmuring an almost inaudible 'thank you'.

Naruto was
still for a little longer, partly because he was too tired to
disentangle himself, and partly because he was unwilling to leave the
warm embrace he was in. He listened to the older woman's breathing
slow down as she fell asleep, then slowly reached up and put his own
arms around her waist, returning her hug.

His last
thought before sleep claimed him was, Is this what being loved
feels like?

Konoha:
Now

Naruto's
trip down memory lane ended as Kurenai pushed herself away from him
with eerie calm, dismounted from the bed and walked over to her
dresser. He froze as she retrieved her kunai pouch from it and took
one of the sharp blades out, then blinked when the jounin wobbled
unsteadily towards the door.

"Um...
Kurenai-chan? Where are you going?" he cautiously asked, still
afraid that the older woman would try to cut away a very important
part of himself. The jounin's head swivelled around, her red eyes
unfocused as she answered.

"I'm
going to the bathroom to slit my throat."

"Oh,
okay..." Naruto sighed in relief before his eyes widened as her
words registered within his mind. "Wait, what?! Stop!!"
he shouted as he dove off the bed and tackled the dazed jounin to the
ground, knocking the kunai she held in her hand away before she could
leave the room and make good on her statement.

"Let
me go! This is the only way I can make this right!" the woman
protested in a panicked tone as she tried to struggle free of
Naruto's grip. The blonde would hear none of it, however, and used
every ounce of his strength to keep her safely pinned under him,
where she could not harm anyone, and more importantly, herself.

"Don't
you dare kill yourself! If you do, I'll kill you!" he shouted
back at her, ignoring the redundancy of his threat. "What's come
over you?!"

"Why
are you stopping me?! I took advantage of you and dishonored us
both!" Kurenai protested, her struggles becoming weaker as she
started to cry. "Oh Kami... how could I let this happen?"

"H-hey...
stop crying!" Naruto said in alarm. He never felt comfortable
around crying girls, and in this particular situation, with both of
them naked and him straddling her, the discomfort was even more
acute. When he saw that Kurenai wouldn't stop crying, Naruto followed
a sudden impulse, hoping his instinct wouldn't betray him. He leaned
down and kissed her fully on the lips.

The action
startled Kurenai enough that her struggling stopped entirely, and her
eyes further widened as the blonde boy took advantage of her surprise
to slip his tongue in her mouth. Unable to form a coherent enough
thought to react, the red-eyed woman lay still as Naruto kissed her.
Then, after a few interminable seconds, she hesitantly returned the
kiss, letting her own tongue dance with his.

After
nearly a minute of non-stop kissing, Naruto finally broke away,
gasping for air. Looking down, he saw that Kurenai was also panting
and flushed, but appeared to have calmed down and was now watching
him with a faintly curious look. The blonde flashed her his best
grin.

"See,
that wasn't so bad now, was it?" he said cheerfully. He then
grew slightly more serious as he continued: "I was surprised
when you suddenly kissed me and started, uh... touching me yesterday,
Kurenai-chan... but I don't want you to think I didn't like it. I
did... a lot. And I'm glad it happened. Although," he amended
with a sheepish grin as he scratched his head, "I never thought
I'd do... that... with a woman as sexy as you..."

Kurenai
blinked at him, then cast him a suspicious glare. "Who are you,
and what have you done with Uzumaki Naruto?" she asked with a
raised eyebrow. "The Naruto I know would never say something
like that!"

"Hey!"
Naruto protested. "I can be smart, too! I just... uh... am too
busy to do it!"

"Right..." Kurenai snorted,
then blinked as she felt something long and hard push against her
belly. Looking down, she blushed. "Um, Naruto-kun? You aren't
having... thoughts... are you?"

Naruto
blinked, then looked down, blushed horribly and leapt off her with a
startled yelp, covering his hard-on with both hands. "Sorry!"
he hastily apologized. "I didn't mean to-- uh, it just
happened-- I swear I wasn't having weird thoughts!"

"Really?
None at all?" Kurenai needled him as she got back on her feet,
unable to resist the temptation to tease him. "I'm hurt,
Naruto-kun. I thought you said I was sexy..."

"Huh?!
No! I didn't mean it like that...!" he stammered in a panic.
Kurenai giggled.

"I
was just teasing, silly," she chided him, then grew serious.
"Are you sure it's all right, Naruto-kun? I'm so much older than
you..."

"Hey,
I said I liked it, didn't I?" he protested with a faint blush as
he scratched his cheek with a finger, looking at a particularly
interesting section of the wall to his left. "I know you
probably didn't like it much, but..."

"Actually,
I felt good, too," she interrupted him with a blush adorning her
cheeks as well. "Um, so... will you stay for breakfast?"

At
Naruto's nod, Kurenai began to reach for the door, then noticed a
certain... part of Naruto's anatomy sway in a very eye-catching
manner. Licking her suddenly dry lips, she followed an impulse and
ventured:

"...actually...
you appear to have a rather... hard problem. Maybe I can help you
with it...?"

The
expression on Naruto's face as she closed in on him was priceless.

1234567890

After
having breakfast (which for Kurenai included a generous portion of...
milk... courtesy of Naruto), the two ninja found themselves
outside Kurenai's front door. Thanking her for everything, Naruto
turned around and began to leave, when the jounin's hand on his
shoulder stopped him. Turning around, he saw her look at him with a
serious expression.

"Naruto-kun...
you do realize that this is going to be a one-time deal, don't you?"
she told him. "And that we will never be able to tell anyone?"

Naruto
glanced at her with an unreadable expression, then broke in a wide
grin.

"You
know, Kurenai-chan... I'd agree with you," he answered, "but
if there's something that I learned from Baa-chan and Ero-sensei,
it's to never take anything for granted. So, instead of 'farewell',
I'll just say 'I'll be seeing you', and see what happens from now on.
Alright?"

The jounin
gave him a startled look, then tentatively smiled back at him. While
she still felt horribly guilty about sleeping with him - not just
because of his age, but also because she knew how Hinata felt about
him - she had to face reality and admit that a small part of her did
indeed hope to have another encounter with him sometime in the
future. Ignoring that part of herself would have been pointless, so
she did what all ninja were taught to do: she adapted and accepted
that part.

"Yes...
that would be acceptable," she nodded, her smile becoming
warmer. "Take care then... Naruto-kun."

"You
got it!" the blonde replied with a grin before he bounced away
and quickly disappeared from her sight. Kurenai stood a few more
seconds where they had parted ways, unconsciously licking her lips as
she remembered his taste earlier in the morning, then sighed and went
back in her apartment.

She had a
lot of thinking to do.

Epilogue:
Three years later

Uzumaki
Naruto stretched lazily, breathing in the crisp Konoha morning air.
Behind him, Jiraiya stood casually with arms crossed, occasionally
ogling particularly attractive girls he spotted walking in the
streets. It had been almost three full years since he left the
village with the Toad Hermit Jiraiya in a journey of training meant
to make him strong enough to face Akatsuki.

During
this period, news from Konoha was almost nonexistent. Jiraiya had
intentionally cut all contacts with Tsunade to prevent dangerous
information leaks that could have led to Akatsuki tracking them down.
Due to this, the only information they were able to gather was what
little the rumor mill had. And nothing particularly stood out besides
an alleged assassination attempt on an undisclosed female jounin's
newborn children which had apparently been squashed by the genin team
said jounin had been training. Jiraiya never found the news relevant,
and as such never relayed them to Naruto.

As the
blonde and his white haired teacher strolled through Konoha, both
noticed that the townspeople were casting odd glances at Naruto - not
the usual hateful ones, but a mix of fearful, curious and even
envious and admiring looks from some of the younger men of the Leaf.
Both him and Jiraiya were left confused by the mixed signals they
got, and quickly made their way to the Hokage tower, hoping that
Tsunade could shed some light on the situation.

Upon
entering the tower, Naruto found himself immediately cornered by a
familiar face.

"You're
back!" Shizune exclaimed with a big smile and an odd expression
on her face. "Tsunade-hime was informed of your presence nearby
by the ANBU. She told me to bring you to her office as soon as you
showed up. Please, follow me. Oh, and Naruto-kun?"

"Yes,
Shizune-neechan?" the blonde asked with a slightly confused
expression, noticing her mischievous grin.

"Congratulations."

With that,
Shizune skipped down the hall, not waiting from an answer from either
of the utterly confused men. Naruto and Jiraiya gave each other a
dazed look, then shrugged and followed Shizune, filing her strange
behavior away as yet another thing to ask clarification to Tsunade
about.

A few
minutes later, the two men reached the Hokage's office. The two ANBU
at the sides of the door nodded to Jiraiya, then cast a glance at
Naruto and coughed in a way that strangely resembled a snicker.
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow at that, while Naruto just blinked.

Upon
entering, Shizune left them, saying she had other business to attend
to, and quickly made herself scarce. Closing the door behind him,
Jiraiya seated himself before her desk, while Naruto gave Tsunade a
cheerful smile.

"Hey,
Baa-chan! Did you miss me?" he greeted her happily. Tsunade
glanced at him, strangely unfazed by his usual disrespectful nickname
for her.

"Can't
say whether or not I missed you, but I'm sure someone else did,"
she replied cryptically. Shuffling around on her desk, she fished out
a scroll and a slip of paper, then gave Naruto a serious look.

"I
know you're probably tired, Naruto, but I have an urgent mission for
you to undertake," she began in an undecipherable tone, her face
set in a perfect mask. "You will receive a S-class pay for as
long as it lasts, but exactly how long it will last, even I don't
know..."

"Huh?
Hey, wait a minute, Baa-chan!" Naruto protested. "I don't
mind missions, but I have to go get Sasuke back from snakeface
first--"

The noise
of splintering wood cut him off as Tsunade's fist cleanly broke her
heavy mahogany desk in two, her glare making it clear she wouldn't
tolerate any argument.

"Silence.
You are not allowed to refuse this mission," she stated flatly.
"You will find the commissioner's address on the sheet I gave
you. You are to open the scroll only in her presence. After that, how
long the mission will last is entirely up to you and the
commissioner. I expect you to directly go there, be properly
debriefed and then return here to report and communicate me your
decision."

"Tsunade,
this seems a little excessive to me--" Jiraiya began, only to be
cut off by an imperious gesture from the platinum haired woman.

"You
stay out of this," she hissed. "And I will have...
words... with you later as well." Turning her head back
to Naruto, she made a dismissing gesture with her hand. "You
have your orders. Carry them out, and don't even think of skipping
out on this, or I swear I'll rough you up badly enough that even
Kyuubi won't spare you a few months in the hospital. Is that clear?
Now get out!"

Naruto
gulped audibly, grabbed the scroll and sheet and bolted out of the
room. He'd only seen Tsunade this angry once before, and it had been
right after Orochimaru had attempted to kill him.

He had no
wish to push his luck. He very much doubted he would survive.

With a
defeated sigh, he made his way to the address written on the paper
slip. Idly, he noticed it looked familiar, but paid it no heed as he
jumped from roof to roof, sulking as he ran towards his destination.

It was
only after he stopped in front of the building that the memory of
this particular location resurfaced. Incredulous, he stared at a
house he had visited only once, three years before, but whose memory
was still vivid in his mind.

"...Kurenai-chan's...
apartment...?"

"Tsunade,
that was excessive..." Jiraiya began after Naruto left the room,
only to be cut off as Tsunade leaped over her splintered desk and
punched him in the face, sending him crashing into a nearby file
cabinet.

"Shut
up, you perverted bastard!" she hissed loudly, glaring at
him with murderous intent. "What did you teach Naruto in
the months before you left Konoha with him in that stupid training
trip?! And what other perversions did you teach him during
it?!"

"What
the hell?! Have you gone nuts, Tsunade?" Jiraiya protested
angrily as he slowly got up, massaging his aching jaw. "What the
hell do you think I did? And what did the brat do to make you think I
taught him anything weird at all?!"

"What
did he do? What did he do?! I'll tell you what he did! He..."

Outside
the office, Shizune approached the door in time to hear the final
part of the discussion between the two former teammates.

"...seriously?!
Awesome! Way to go, Naruto!"

"Stop grinning
like a perverted lech, you senile old coot!"

The noise
of flesh hitting flesh and the following loud crash told Shizune that
the Frog Hermit had just departed the Hokage tower via Tsunade Air
Express. She shook her head tiredly. More repair bills on the
horizon...

In another
zone of Konoha, Naruto stood before the door to the apartment where
he and a beautiful red-eyed jounin had consummated a night of
passion. Hesitating briefly, he raised his hand and knocked on the
door twice, then waited.

After a
few seconds, the door opened to reveal a familiar pair of red eyes.
Looking up at a clearly startled Kurenai, Naruto gave her a foxy
grin.

"Hey,
Kurenai-chan! How have you bemmmfff--!!"

The last
part of his greeting was caused by the jounin suddenly grabbing his
face with both hands and mashing her lips on his own, savagely
kissing him. Eyes wide, Naruto was frozen on the spot and unable to
react until the older woman broke the kiss and looked at him with a
strange expression.

"You're
back..." she said cautiously. "Are you here to stay?"

The
question caused Naruto to give her a confused look. "Huh? I'm
here for that mission Baa-chan gave me. Something about a S-rank pay
and indefinite length..." he replied, then frowned. "Man,
I'm supposed to go kick Sasuke's ass, not be stuck here for the Kami
only know how long..."

"I...
see..." Kurenai said slowly, an almost disappointed expression
on her face. Naruto blinked, catching the undercurrent.

"Hey...
are you all right?" he asked. "What is this mission you
need me for, anyway?"

Kurenai
licked her lips and looked ready to say something, when the door to
the bedroom corridors opened and Kiba and Shino stepped out, each
carrying a little girl in their arms. Naruto idly noticed that while
they looked similar, their hair and eye colors were almost directly
opposite: one was blonde with red eyes, while the other was
black-haired with blue eyes.

"Hey,
Kurenai-sensei, what's going... oh," Kiba began, then stopped
upon noticing Naruto. "It's you."

Walking
over to the couch, the two ninja set down the children, then made
their way to the door. "If you'll excuse us, Kurenai-sensei, I
believe you'll want some privacy," Shino announced, and left the
apartment without waiting for an answer. Kiba followed on his trail,
but briefly stopped to glance at Naruto with a hooded expression.

"Be
careful what you say or do, Naruto," he growled. "Mess up
and I'll kill you."

Leaving a
nonplussed Naruto behind, the savage ninja left the apartment,
closing the door behind him without a word. The confused blonde
looked at Kurenai, who was doing her best to look anywhere except at
him, then at the two giggling girls on the couch. Confused, he looked
back at her again.

"Huh?
What was that all about? And who are those little girls?" he
asked, curious. "Are you babysitting?"

"No...
they are mine, Naruto-kun..." Kurenai replied, still avoiding
his gaze. Naruto blinked, then grinned.

"They're
your kids? Wow! Congratulations, Kurenai-chan! You'll be a great mom!
Who is the dad?"

At that,
the Jounin gave him a surprised look.

"You...
don't know?" she asked. At his negative headshake, she
continued: "Hokage-sama didn't tell you...?"

"No...
why should she tell me?" he asked in confusion, holding up the
scroll Tsunade gave him. "She only gave me this, and told me to
ask you about the mission's details..."

"I
can't believe she really did that...!" Kurenai exclaimed in
exasperation before cutting herself off. Naruto stared curiously at
her, then lit up as he remembered something.

"Oh,
yeah... Baa-chan told me to open this in your presence," he said
as he began unravelling the scroll. "What a weird mission... she
told me to decide with you how long it'd last."

Kurenai
couldn't help but blush at that last remark, unsure whether to
strangle the Hokage or thank her. That scheming old crone...!
she thought as she watched Naruto's face for any signs of reaction to
what was written on the scroll.

She didn't
have to wait long. Naruto's initial curiosity left place to more and
more disbelief as he read the contents of the document, which turned
out to be two things at once. First was a letter from Tsunade,
addressed to him. It read:

Brat,

If you
are reading this, chances are you just found out the results of
your... hrm... 'hard work'. Actually, wait, knowing Yuuhi Kurenai,
she probably hasn't told you anything yet, in her misguided belief
that it was all her fault to begin with. So, I'll keep this short and
to the point.

You may
have seen two little girls around two years of age in Kurenai's
apartment. One of them has blonde hair and red eyes like Kurenai's...
the other has black hair and blue eyes. Like yours.

They
are your daughters.

You are
probably in the disbelief phase right now, but I assure you, it's
true. Kurenai came to me about two weeks after you left, having
noticed she missed her period, and told me everything that transpired
that night. I had half a mind to hunt you down and personally make
sure you'd never have children again, but your girlfriend convinced
me not to. Count yourself lucky to have someone like her on your
side.

This
brings me to the details of the 'mission' I gave you. Simply put, I
want you to marry Kurenai. It's your choice in the end, but I am
counting on you to do the right thing once again, even if it means
putting your other goals on hold. Those girls grew without a father
for their entire, brief life. Don't let this be their future as well.
Whatever promise you made to Sakura, it isn't worth throwing away the
family you've always wanted over it. Sakura agrees to that, by the
way. In fact, she said in no uncertain terms that if you don't act
mature for once, she'll hurt you.

You
need not worry about the village's reactions. Most people think the
rumors of the girls being your offspring are just that, rumors, and
those who actually believe it know better than to do anything stupid.
There has already been an... incident... with some overzealous
would-be village saviors when news of who the girls' father was
spread, but it was dealt with swiftly and in an especially brutal
fashion by Kurenai's Team 8, particularly Hyuuga Hinata. Yes, the
same shy girl who had a crush on you since forever. Not that you
noticed, knowing you.

Since
then, the Aburame and Inuzuka clans made their stance known in no
uncertain terms, declaring that any harmful actions taken on your
daughters would be met with lethal force. The Hyuuga followed suit
after Hinata made a point about not tolerating a refusal on this
particular matter by nearly crippling her sister Hanabi during a
spar. Hiashi was inordinately pleased with the change, and readily
agreed to her demands. So you have three of the strongest clans of
Konoha protecting your little girls.

Speaking
of which, Kurenai refused to officially name the girls, saying she
would wait for you to return and ask you for your preferences before
making her final choice. I doubt she was going to ask you to marry
her, or even tell you that you were the father - the poor thing still
thinks she's the only one to blame - but you may want to get that out
of the way as quickly as possible.

At any
rate... this is your mission. To raise your daughters well and give
them the love you never had. You will receive a monthly pay equal to
an S-rank mission for that, so that you can care for your new family.
You will still be allowed to go on low-risk missions, but I cannot
promise anything more until the girls are older, and I certainly
can't let you go after such a dangerous criminal as Orochimaru.
Please try to understand.

I know
you, and I am fully confident that you will do what you think is
right, regardless of what your wishes are. I've included a marriage
contract already compiled with your name and Kurenai's. From this
point on, the choice is yours. Do not disappoint me, Naruto.

With
love,

Tsunade

Kurenai
watched as Naruto slowly rolled the scroll up, holding another sheet
of paper before his eyes and scanning it as he did so. She had a good
idea what it was, and once again was amazed by Tsunade's foresight.
Realizing that the choice was no longer hers, and perhaps had never
been, she patiently waited for Naruto to speak to her.

After
reading the second document over, Naruto looked at the two girls
playing on the couch, then his gaze settled on Kurenai.

"Is
it true?" he asked in a neutral tone of voice. The red-eyed
woman simply nodded. Naruto's gaze returned to the giggling girls.

"...my
daughters..." he murmured, and for a moment Kurenai lost her
breath as an absolutely radiant smile spread on his face. He the
turned towards her, smiled again and said four simple words which
lifted a great weight from the jounin's heart and brought tears to
her eyes.

"Where
do I sign?"

--Fin

(A/N:
finally done! I hope you liked it. I had to balance Kurenai between
being horny and not quite thinking normally due to being inebriated,
and it wasn't easy to do it. But I like the end result, and hope you
like it as well.

Anyway, for now this is an oneshot, but I
might add a couple sequel chapters dealing with the fallout of
Naruto's decision and his new 'family', but it's unlikely.

R&R as
always. GH out!)
