Set Me Free

A/N Hello!!! New ficcie time! And this one…well, to me its seems really disturbing xDDD Its not something I thought I would ever write, but here it is. So please sit back and enjoy, and this will be an on-going fic, if of course I get a good response for it.

I plan to make this a NaruSaku fic, but there might be some slight teeny-weeny SasuSaku hints thrown in (even though I hate this pairing), and of course, some Fem KyuubiNaruto (cause I like weird pairings xD)

So yeah, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, heck, I don't even own a car!

OOOOOOOOOO

"Naruto! Are you even listening to me?!" The pink-haired girl shouted across the room and out to the balcony where Naruto was situated; effectively snapping the blonde-haired boy out of his trance.

Naruto seemed to perk up a little more after that, his dazzling blue eyes sparkling with more life as they glanced over to Sakura, who was releasing a healing chakra into the wing of a bird. Over the years Sakura had been getting better and better at using her healing hands, she even had time to snap at Naruto whilst moulding the green chakra in her palms, probably to Naruto's displease. Nevertheless, this was Sakura; so he'd let her off and try to charm her with a sheepish grin. It never worked though.

"Ehehe, sorry Sakura-chan-" He said through a grin whilst rubbing the back of his head, and Sakura merely let a huff of air escape her lips, thinking 'typical Naruto' all the while. However, she dropped the stubbornness when she saw Naruto furrow his brows in what seemed like pain.

"Is something wrong?" She couldn't help but ask. Her comrade looked up again, blinking profoundly before smiling; and probably showing too much of the whites of his teeth; he couldn't help being happy when Sakura was sounding a little more sincere towards him.

The boy who had been leaning back on the ledge of the office's balcony soon walked into the seemingly dim office where Sakura was working. Even though it was actually Tsunade's office, she had been kind enough to let Sakura use it, since the majority of medical books were stored here; it was the easiest place for a medic nin to train. So naturally when Naruto found out she trained here the most, he'd often come by to visit. He knew that Sakura enjoyed his company, even if she refused to admit it.

"Naah.." His pride chose to speak, when really Naruto's head was pounding like a drum, it had been for the past couple of days now, but he wouldn't let Sakura worry about it, she had plenty of other things to be worrying about. "Just got a headache. So, uhhh…what were you saying again?"

Sakura sighed a little, mainly to herself; for Naruto could be such a doofus at times. But it could've been worse, that Uzumaki had a heart of gold after all, and would do anything for anyone, no matter the cost. Sure he could be an idiot sometimes…well, a lot of the time, But that was just him, and through the years Sakura had gotten pretty much used to his antics.

She had started with two palms channelling chakra into the bird's wing. It was a tiny thing, frail and spindly-looking, its eyes had been dull from a lack of life, but Sakura watched the bird getting noticeably better; so decided to take one hand away and rested it; she only needed one palm now, she knew this when the bird began to chirp. She turned to see that Naruto was now sitting (well, more like slouching) on one of the chairs, eagerly looking at Sakura, his attention undivided. For some unknown reason, that made her cheeks fluster. Maybe it was since Naruto had such a vibrant aura about him, the spotlight he placed on her when he looked at her was so bright that it almost made her nervous. Nevertheless, she shoved those thoughts to the back of her mind, and continued her earlier trail of thought.

"I was just saying, I visited Sasuke-kun today, his rehabilitation is going well- He was walking without any aid when I last saw him!" Sakura seemed to exclaim that last part rather chirpily, just thinking about Sasuke seemed to make her smile, even a dobe like Naruto had enough sense to know that. But though he had seemed bitter about that long ago when his childhood crush was still blossoming, he had matured a lot since then, and he would be happy as long as his two best friends were. He even hoped that one-day, Sasuke would return Sakura's affections, as long as it made her happy, that was all that mattered.

"That's great news!!!" Naruto exclaimed back, looking as exuberant as ever, his voice was void of any hate, even after Sasuke betrayed the village, there was always forgiveness in Naruto's heart, his heart was a whole lot bigger than his head, that was for sure. Then again, it was kind of Naruto's fault that Sasuke was in such a state in the first place, it had been Naruto who had brought him back (with an extreme amount of force of course). And now the Uchiha was under watchful eyes 24/7, it wasn't the nicest way to bring him back, but…it had to be done. And Sasuke didn't seem too bitter about it either, he almost seemed…happy, to be home. But it was hard to tell when he couldn't speak; the teen was still undergoing his speech therapy. It was tough seeing such a strong guy looking so weak, and not being able to speak, but it was better than not being able to see him at all…and he didn't speak much anyway, that what Naruto would always say, and every time he did; he received a punch in the jaw from Sakura.

"I bet he'll be back to his grumpy ol' self in no time!"

"Naruto!!"

He only laughed in response, especially when Sakura was too busy healing the bird to give him another pounding.

The chaka being emitted from Sakura's hand stilled, and made Naruto wonder what she was doing now. Cocking his head to one side the teen looked over to see the little bird chirping, and Sakura smiling rather proudly to herself.

Naruto watched from afar as his team-mate took the bird to the window, and soon let it free into the crisp air outside from the balcony. Naruto smiled to himself watching that happy glow paint itself onto Sakura's features. Life sure was great at the moment, Sasuke was getting better, Sakura was getting stronger, and she was getting happier too…Naruto positively loved it.

"Right then. Your turn."

"Eh?" Naruto seemed dumbfounded as per-usual whilst he looked at the pink-haired girl as though she were speaking double-Dutch, he really didn't have a clue about what she was on about.

She stepped closer and closer, and then finally crouched in front of Naruto and lifted her hand to his temple. In return the blonde blushed furiously. Even at the age of sixteen, Naruto still hadn't let go of his crush on Sakura. Sure he'd be willing to let it slide if it meant she could be happy….but he couldn't deny the fact that she was everything he wanted in a girl. He didn't bottle it up either, infact, he liked to display his crush in the crudest of ways, with cheesy chat-up lines and such, just so she didn't think too much of it and assumed it wasn't a serious thing, just so she'd never find out that he…that he actually loved her. He couldn't let her know, it would only make her feel guilty when she rejected him (even an ago as big as Naruto's knew he just couldn't win her heart), but currently…he couldn't help thinking she looked absolutely divine crouched in front of him like that. He was tempted to offer her an impish smirk, but it seemed she wasn't in the mood for games.

"Where does it hurt?"

"…?"

She sighed again.

"Your headache. Whereabouts on your head does it hurt?"

"Oh!" He offered in realisation, why else would Sakura place her hand against his temple? It made enough sense.

He poked one finger against his forehead protector in response. "Its mainly at the front of my head."

Sakura nodded before accumulating that same green chakra at the tip of her finger whilst the other hand slid off his hitai-ate. He stayed silent all the while, he didn't think he needed Sakura's healing hands or her mothering, but he liked the feel of her hands on his skin, so he let her do what she had to. And besides, it assumed it would help her training, and he wanted to help her in any way he could.

The slender fingertip pressed itself on his forehead, but rather than easing the pain it only seemed to make things worse. Naruto squinted his eyes shut as the pain surged throughout his head, the ache had become a sting now, and it felt as through it was practically burning through his skull. A voice echoed inside his mind.

'I don't like her touch!'

Sakura had caught onto his pain from his expression, but couldn't comprehend it. What was she doing wrong? This wasn't supposed to hurt. Not only did it confuse her, but it worried her too.

"Naruto? Naruto what's wrong?!"

His eyes snapped open, causing a sudden gasp to get caught in Sakura's throat, she had no time to react in any other way though when a slither of chakra seemed to conjure around her fingertip, a burning chakra that didn't seem to react too well to her own. It sent her finger backwards and even made Sakura lose her footing. She fell backwards; a puzzled look was painted on her face as she panted a little from the short ordeal.

'What was that all about? Why did he reject my chakra?' She couldn't help wondering.

Naruto was also panting as he brought one hand up to his head. The headache was still there, but the burning sensation had gone, and now it was back to the original ache. He contemplated to himself for a few short moments, almost shuddering when he recalled that voice hissing at him…

"I…I'm so sorry Naruto, are you alright? What happened?"

Once again Sakura had snapped him out of his trance. He turned towards her, and instantly his heart dropped. He felt awful for making her worry like that, just that panic-stricken look on her face was enough to sadden him…but if he got sad, it would make her sad, so he decided to put on his bravest face and immediately shrugged off any pain.

"Hey its not your fault Sakura-chan!" He flailed his arms about with a smile of his face as he spoke. "Infact, I feel a lot better!! Thanks!" He beamed, even though it was a lie, he wanted to make her feel better.

It seemed to have worked, when Sakura smiled in response. She stood from her place and rested her finger on her chin, the finger that was now throbbing a little from that chakra assault.

"That's good. But I still don't get it, that wasn't supposed to hurt."

"Uhhh….errrr….Uhmm." Naruto needed to come up with something plausible, but when his mind came to a point blank he too rose to his feet.

"Oh well, I guess we'll never know- oh hey is that the time already I gotta get going; Training with Ero-sennin!" Yeah, that would do. Fleeing was much easier for a knuckle-head. He barely let his female team-mate get a word in edgeways as he sauntered towards the door. However, she did manage to catch his attention just before he left.

"Wait-! Naruto…"

He turned, only to face a forlorn expression adorning the girl's face, he hated seeing her so sad…

"I…I will make it up to you…I promise."

He chuckled a little; surprising Sakura. "What do you mean? My headache's gone!" He lied again.

"No, not that.."

He was the one who was surprised now; he raised his brows curiously as Sakura turned her gaze to the floor.

"I mean…for rescuing Sasuke. You promised you would, and you did." She turned her eyes to his again, and was that…a blush of her cheeks? Somehow Naruto couldn't help hoping it was for him, rather than Sasuke. "You're a true friend Naruto, I wish I could re-pay you somehow."

"Sakura-chan…you don't have t-"

"No, Naruto." She stopped him. "I do. And once I know how to, I will…"

"It's a promise." She offered him a weak smile, and he returned it with an even bigger one.

"Then, I look forward to it. Thanks Sakura, you're a true friend yourself!" Her smile seemed to pick up a little more and now it matched his.

'I only wish I could be more to you…'

With these thoughts he left the room. His headache only seemed to grow stronger when he closed the door behind him.

OOOOOOOOOO

He really wanted to go and visit Sasuke, Naruto spent most of the days either training with Jiraiya or visiting Sakura, and then spent the evenings with Sasuke. He had spent nearly every evening with Sasuke since his return to Konoha, Naruto would tell him all kinds of things knowing he'd never get as response. But the one thing he didn't mention was Sakura, it was almost a taboo topic. Naruto and Sakura would each visit him separately, never together…they weren't back to being a team just yet…It would almost feel awkward if all three were in the same room. As much as it pained Naruto to think such things, he knew it was true.

But what seemed to be paining Naruto even more at this current moment was his damn headache! The sun was setting and about know he would've turned and gone to the hospital, but the pain in his head was making him walk home instead. Naruto decided he needed a good rest; he hadn't had much since he'd stay up late chattering to his team-mate, and he guessed that was the cause of the migraine.

Even his footsteps slapping on the pavement were seemingly loud, Naruto couldn't wait to get home and just fall asleep. Just the thought of his comfy bed was making him yawn.

OOOOOOOOOO

The blonde shinobi was stating to worry himself a little, his appetite had vanished into thin air and so he didn't even bother making dinner when he got home. Instead he simply shrugged off his clothes as soon as he came in the door and changed into his nightwear.

Now here he was, staring at the ceiling of his room, wondering why sleep wasn't coming very easily. His fingers clasped the top of his duvet, almost driven by panic as they twitched.

There had to be something wrong, he couldn't sleep, and he wasn't hungry….and this was Naruto of all people!! Maybe he should've gone to the hospital, not to see Sasuke; just to get himself checked out.

'What am I thinking? I'll be fine, yeah, nothing to worry about!'

With this thought in mind, the Uzumaki boy finally managed to get some rest, well…he had thought it was rest, but apparently, his dreams wouldn't let him relax either….

---

Naruto found himself in a black abyss, wherever he went darkness was lurking, his eyes trailed down but they found no path to walk on. He continued forwards, until a sound could be heard, it rang in his ears, a terrible sound of clawing, making his head pound. Bringing his hands up to cover his ears Naruto continued to get closer to the sound, until he felt something splash where he walked. Ripples had begun to form under his feet, and a light, wavering like fire shone in the distance.

"Where am I?"

"Naruto-kun?" An endearing voice addressed him. The clawing noise grew louder.

"What is that noise?" He spoke through gritted teeth.

"I've been so alone…Naruto-kun, will you keep me company?"

A puzzled teen looked forwards, his eyes soon adjusted to the lack of light and found a giant cage, behind in sat a young girl, dragging her fingernails that seemed more like claws against the bars of the cage. The sound was shrill and made Naruto wince, it was so similar to the feeling of his conscious headache, had this girl been the cause?

"Who are you?" He asked, and without realising he stepped closer, treading lightly on the water beneath his feet.

"Kyuubi." She answered in a voice as sweet as caramel; such a sweet voice did not suit a demon. But her complexion didn't seem too monstrous either, her eyes were a rusty colour and her hair fell in long lustrous curls of fiery red. The woman still harboured the nine tails of the fox that branched out from the base of her spine, and she had the fox ears, fangs and whiskers to accompany them; but she was not the same fox form Naruto had encountered in his subconscious before…He hadn't even known she was female.

Naruto's eyes had widened the second she had answered him. The Kyuubi almost destroyed Konoha, so many lives had been sacrificed for the imprisonment of this woman, and yet, she seemed void of all malevolence, she seemed almost at a loss, unsure and innocent. This being, the same creature that bared its fangs to the Yodaime himself, was noting but a young girl, trapped behind bars, crouched on the floor in her naked splendour. Every inch of skin was pale, but that was to be expected when you were constantly shrouded in darkness. Her figure was curved like an hourglass and the flesh of her breasts was bountiful…Many woman would love to have such a figure, but the Kyuubi did not look happy at all.

"Please, come closer, Naruto-kun…" She beckoned him with a lulling tone of endearment. Naruto didn't know why he obeyed her, but he did. Her arm reached out to him from beyond the bars, but they couldn't get far when the word 'seal' had been etched along the lock of this cage.

"You don't really look like a demon…" Was all Naruto could muster at this point in time, seemingly unfazed by the fact she was naked, and she was the demon that people hated him for…But this was the subconscious mind; of course it would be surreal.

"I've tried to scratch this seal off you see, that's the sound you've been hearing, hurting you. I didn't mean to, but…you don't know what it's like. Being here, all alone…"

He was standing in front of the cage now, looking down at the woman on the floor, watching the sadness fall from her eyes in streams of tears. He didn't understand what she was talking about, but he listened all the same.

"I've been locked up here for so long Naruto-kun, wont you free me?"

His eyes turned to the seal on the lock, and then to her.

"I can't, I don't know how to."

Her small hands rose up and through the gaps in the bars, they pulled at Naruto's waist and brought him forwards, all innocence vanished from her eyes…

"I will make it worth your while, my Naruto-kun…"

Her fingers danced along the top of his trousers before pushing them down to puddle around the boy's ankles. Again, Naruto didn't seem alarmed, although he shuddered as the cool air brushed against his legs; he simply watched the woman wet her lips with her tongue before she pulled down his boxers too.

Naruto's hands began to tremble as they latched onto the bars of the cage, now he seemed to be noticing her more, her slim waist and perked up nipples, her long tresses of red hair and her coppery eyes. He felt a tingling warmth conjure within himself, and it only heightened when a slick tongue travelled up the swollen muscle in between his legs. Naruto's legs bucked a little each time the Kyuubi teasingly trailed her tongue over his manhood, pressing kisses along its length. He wasn't given a moment to breathe with the woman took his entire length into her mouth; causing Naruto to tilt his head back and moan, a word was playing upon his lips, but it was never spoken aloud as he shut his eyes tightly.

He dreamt of her, and only her.

'Sakura…'

The blonde grinded his hips against the Kyuubi's mouth, her tongue and teeth explored his sweet-tasting erection all the while, but never was she given the time to whisper him sweet nothings when Naruto insisted on ramming himself against her. Faster and faster, with more force as the sweat rolled down his thighs, hotter and hotter until he reached that inevitable climax. His seed spilled into her mouth, her jaw was weary from kissing and sucking and licking but she swallowed his sweet cum all the same, he was a luxury for her, having been alone for so long…

"You'll free me Naruto-kun, I know you will…"

---

He woke up with a gasp, sitting upright in his bed only to find that it was already morning. Naruto soon felt a humid air underneath the damp bed sheets that had been tainted with both his sweat and orgasm. In a daze he scrambled out of bed, wondering if that was really just a dream, or perhaps something more…

OOOOOENDOOOOO

A/N Yeeeaaah, so that's pretty much it for this chappie. And this is my first attempt at writing lemon, so please tell me what you think, and tell me if it was OK. I'd love to hear your comments on this fic, and hope you want me to continue it. Well, that's all I have to say for now, sooo yeah.

Ja ne!
