"I guess I'm going to be here for twelve hours again," Naruto said to himself; well he could just flash away but he would want to say good bye to the kids. He looked over at his… what was she now? He wondered, since she was not really his prisoner anymore. Acquaintance? Companion? Friend? He was unsure but supposed it didn't really matter anymore. "What will you do now Konan?" asked Naruto.
Konan looked at him and sighed as she closed her eyes, "I don't know anymore," she said in a soft voice. "Nagato had been everything to me and now that I don't feel I can follow him…"
"You could come with me if you want," she looked up at Naruto in shock as he continued to speak, "I'll take you to Konoha and you can stay with me. I'll do what I can to give you a happy life, if you want one with me that is," he finished with a sheepish expression.
Konan actually smiled at the look she had often seen on Yahiko's face, "thank you… but I don't think that's a good idea, at least not right now. If I went with you Pain would get suspicious and if he found out I have left Akatsuki, I have no doubt he would try to kill me."
"Well yeah, but he would have to get passed me," Naruto said as he puffed out his chest confidently.
"You would protect me?" Konan asked somewhat amused and somewhat shocked.
"Of course I would," Naruto said, "if you came with me that would make you one of my precious people and I always protect my precious people."
Konan smiled as she wiped an errant tear from her eye, thinking for a moment she looked back at Naruto. "I still think it's too dangerous, right now even as strong as you are it will not be enough to defeat Pain." Naruto winced knowing that at the moment it was probably true, "But if you wanted me to… I could spy on Akatsuki for you."
That got Naruto's attention; having a spy within Akatsuki would be the biggest boon ever, but… "That's pretty dangerous Konan-chan," Naruto said not even realizing the affectionate suffix he added, though Konan did as she gave a small blush. "Not only is it dangerous, but you would have to hide your intentions from someone you admitted to me meant the world to you. I myself would not want to do that, and I certainly wouldn't wish it on you."
"Thank you for your concern," she said as she unknowingly used the same words he had said to her this morning. "But I want to do this, you were right about him. Nagato has been dead for a long time, he is now Pain and I… I don't think he can be saved."
Naruto leaned over and wiped an errant tear that threatened to fall from Konan's eye, "if this is what you want I won't stop you. Just promise me you will be careful."
"I will," Konan promised a little surprised at the concern in his voice.
"Also… do you think you could occasionally visit these kids? They don't have anyone else and while I'll try to visit as much as I can…"
"Don't worry," Konan interrupted with a smile, "I'll look after them for you."
"Thank you," Naruto said.
For the rest of the night the two sat on the couch, eventually they both fell asleep with Konan using Naruto's chest as a pillow.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
The next morning the two woke up to find themselves in a very compromising position, Konan was situated between Naruto's legs with her head on his chest while one hand had somehow managed to slip under his shirt and was resting on his muscular pectorals. Meanwhile Naruto had one hand wrapped around her waist which wasn't bad, however his other hand was currently inside Konan's pants and was resting on what Naruto recognized as a very fine ass. To make matters worse for both of them, Naruto currently had a morning stiffy. As the two sported similar blushes on their face Konan shifted a bit, causing her to rub against Naruto's increasingly enlarged member. The blue haired woman became positively mortified when she felt a low moan escape her throat as his length rub against her inner thigh, with a speed that would have made the former Senkou proud and definitely impressed the current one Konan shot off of him and sat at the edge of the couch.
For a long while neither of the two said anything nor could they even look at each other. Eventually Naruto coughed, "uh… listen I'm gonna go take a shower *A very cold shower* do you think you could start breakfast for the kids?"
