Chapter 17 - I Dare You

WARNING: Do NOT read if you dislike perverted, suggestive things....I wrote this...because...I had the idea and it wouldn't leave me alone...besides that, I needed to make a fact about Nozomi known, and this was the only way to do it! So NO flaming or anything...You have NO idea how awkward I felt writing this! >//<


I Dare You


Nozomi sighed. Naruto had been rambling on and on for what seemed like forever...and he kept repeating himself! When would it ever end?!

"Ok, Nozomi!" The blond, who had been sitting cross legged in the grass jumped up now, a finger pointed upward, a triumphant grin on his face. "I got it!"

'Oh, boy...if he says a spotlight dance again I'm gonna have to HURT him!' The cat girl thought, frowning slightly. "Go on.."

Naruto nodded, his eyes sparkling. "So, I was thinking, maybe after the ceremony we could have a special spotlight dance for just us two...and then, maybe.."

Nozomi groaned and slapped her forehead, sweatdropping. "Ahh! Naruto-kun, not that I don't love you, but shut up already!"

"Huh?" The spiky haired boy broke off in mid sentence and stared at her, looking deflated, his bubble burst. "...But I was just getting to the best part..."

"That's just it though," Nozomi sighed and laughed a little in spite of her frustration, "I already know what you're gonna say..."

"You do...?" Naruto blinked, appearing confused. "But...how?"

"Because," Nozomi took a deep breath before answering, "You're so excited about this that you don't even release...you've repeated your ideas at least 5 times...maybe more...I have your ideas all memorized!"

"You...do...?...I HAVE?" The blond haired boy gave an apologetic grin, flattening his large, orange and white fox ears sheepishly. "Sorry, Nozo-chan.."

"Nah...it's ok." Nozomi blurted out, unable to resist the eyes he was giving her. She did a double take and smirked slightly. "Anyways, let's do what we came to do, ok?"

"Yeah, ok." Naruto smiled.

---

"Ok, come at me."

Nozomi glanced across the training field at Naruto and nodded, unable to stop herself from returning his infectious smile. Then as quick as a flash, her face turned serious, and she nodded, taking a fighting stance and then charging at the blond.

"Ok, whenever you're ready!" Naruto called out, taking more steps back at the same time.

"Right!" Nozomi formed a handsign as she ran now, focusing intently on her move. "Shadow clone jutsu!!"

Naruto smiled, watching, but his smile soon faded, and he held up a hand. "Ok, Nozo-chan...stop!"

"Again?! WOAH--!" Nozomi stopped running, but the toe of her sandal hit the ground wrong, causing her to trip, and she fell ungracefully to the ground onto her face.

"Oy, Nozo-chan!" Naruto frowned and hurried over to the fallen brunette, who had recovered form her fall, and was now sitting with her hands on her knees, a downcast look on her face. "Are you ok..?"

The cat girl gave a slight nod in his direction before sighing heavily, hanging her head, a look of discouragement on her face. "...I'm never going to get this..I give up.."

"Oh no you don't!" Naruto sat down beside her and slung an arm around her shoulders, pulling her slightly so she leaned into him a little. "You'll get the hang of the Shadow clones...I just know it! But you gotta keep trying to succeed! No giving up!"

Nozomi was silent for a moment or two before nodding her head, a small smile beginning to cross her features. "Yeah....uhm...ok..." she sighed softly. "I'll..I'll keep trying my best."

"Good, that's my kitty." Naruto smiled warmly, causing the cat girl to blush slightly. "Now, wanna get back to training?"

Nozomi was about to nod, but her body apparently had other ideas, as her stomach let out a deep rumble. The cat girl cringed and blushed a little. "I think...my best is saying it's hungry." she said, blushing sheepishly as her stomach emitted another growl.

Naruto couldn't help but laugh at the sound. "Ok then." he smiled, standing and offering the girl his hand, which she took, and he pulled her up to her feet. "Let's eat."

"Huh?...Eat what?" Nozomi glanced around. "Naruto-kun, I don't see anythi-" The cat girl broke off as her eyes landed on a picnic basket nearby, and she gasped in surprise. "A picnic? I had no idea!...Naruto-kun, how did you...?"

"I had a clone go back and grab it when you weren't looking." The blond beamed proudly. "Well, c'mon, let's go eat before you die of starvation!"

Nozomi nodded sheepishly and allowed him to lead her by the hand to the picnic basket, and she had a seat beside him on the blanket his clone had set out on the grass. "This is a nice little surprise, Naruto-kun." She smiled softly at the boy.

Said blond grinned over at her with his teeth. "Hey, you're my kitty...I like to spoil you every now and then, you know."

"Yeah, I know...thank you, Naruto-kun." Nozomi smiled even more.

"Hehe, you can thank me after we eat," Naruto responded, ears twitching almost giddily as he saw the confusion on his kitten's face, "You'll know what I mean after you try this." The boy rummaged through the basket for a minute, then produced a good sized foil wrapped sandwich, and handed it to Nozomi, who curiously sniffed it.

"What's in it?" she asked, curiosity in her eyes.

"Just take a bite..you'll see." Naruto urged her.

"Ok, ok." The cat girl unwrapped the sandwich, lifted it up to her mouth, and took a small, delicate bite, golden-yellow eyes widening almost immediately. "Tuna fish!" she exclaimed once she had swallowed, and stared at the blond. "You made tuna fish sandwiches for us?" A wide, cat like grin was on her face as she spoke, and it only widened as she got a nod from the boy.

"~Nyaa! Thanks so much, Naruto-kun! Hehe, it's tuna!" The brunette seemed to get lost in her own world as she took another larger bite of her sandwich and purred, eyes sparkling with delight.

Naruto couldn't help but watch, amusement flickering in his blue eyes as the cat girl beside him managed to devour her entire sandwich in under a minute. He chuckled at the sad look that had appeared on his kitten's face when she'd realized her sandwich was gone, and he smiled. "Well? Was it good?"

The brunette's head shot straight up, and she nodded vigorously. "Yes, it really was, SO good!" There was a brief pause. "But...now it's all gone...so fast.." she sighed, allowing a brief silence to fall over them as she watched Naruto eat. "So...that last time we trained today," she began, hesitantly, "I...I still only made 3 clones, huh..?"

The blond, who's mouth was stuffed with sandwich merely nodded his head. Nozomi sighed again. "I wish I knew why the most I can make is 3 at a time...it's really annoying, I wanna be able to make more than that!"

Naruto swallowed his mouthful and gave a small smile, sympathy in his blue eyes. "Hey, I already told you, you'll get the hang of it..I'm sure...we just gotta keep training, that's all!"

"Yeah..I guess so..." The brunette frowned, letting her shoulders sag a little as she fell silent again.

"Well, enough about that!" Naruto said loudly, determined not to let her feel any down-er than she already did. "You ready for your desert now, Nozo-chan?"

"Uhh...desert?" Nozomi glanced up at the blond curiously. "I have desert?"

"Yep, I packed it special for you!" Naruto smiled slightly. He paused. "Now, before I give it to you, I want you to PROMISE you'll eat it...promise?"

"Ok...promise." Nozomi said softly, feeling confused.

"Alright...just remember you promised...and know I chose this special for you.." Naruto grinned now. "It's the perfect pick me up after the hard day of training we had!"

"Uh, alright then." The cat girl nodded her head. "Let's have it then." she said.

Naruto nodded and dug through the basket again, producing a small bag, which he tossed to Nozomi, who caught it in her hands. She lifted it up, straining to read the writing on the package, as the sun was setting, making it hard to see in a way. At last, she was able to read it, and the brunette looked back at Naruto, who was beaming. She raised an eyebrow at him. "CATNIP, Naruto-kun?"

"Yep!" The blond nodded, still beaming. "I've heard cats love it, so I thought I'd get some for you!"

"...But Naruto-kun...honestly? I'm NOT a cat." Nozomi scowled at him. "I'm not eating catnip. Not happening!"

"Aww, c'mon, Nozo-chan!" Naruto's grin vanished, and he gave her a pouty look. "I just wanted to do something nice....besides, you PROMISED you'd eat it..." The blond paused. "Also, you are SORT of a cat...you're PART cat...so still!..."

Nozomi glanced from the package to him, then back at the package again and sighed heavily in defeat. "Ok, FINE...but nobody else finds out about this...ok??"

"My lips are sealed!" The spiky haired boy covered his mouth and nodded.

"Ok then...here goes...nothing..." Nozomi hesitated slightly before popping the bag open. Then she dug out a handful of the crunchy cat treats and plopped them into her mouth, chewed them, and swallowed, repeating this process until the bag was empty. She glanced at Naruto from the corner of her eye. "Ok...I ate it...it...wasn't BAD...I guess." she said hesitantly.

"I'm glad." Naruto smiled warmly, then glanced up at the sky. It was getting dark, and already being speckled with tiny white stars. "Let's get home now...ok?"

"Mm yeah...sounds good." Nozomi purred softly, standing up.

Once they had folded the blanket and picked up their trash, the two teens grabbed the basket and headed for the apartment they both called their home.

---

"Nozo-chan....do you...feel ok?" Naruto frowned at the brunette.

The minute they'd gotten home, she had kicked off her shoes, then pounced onto the couch, jumping up and down on it, giggling like a little girl.

"Nozomiiiii! You alright??" Naruto tried again.

This time the cat girl looked at him, a curious look on her face. "Y'know...why do they even call it 'marriage'? It has nothing to do with female horses, ~nyaa!"

"Wait...what are you talking about?" The blond blinked in confusion and shook his head, walking over to her, arms open wide. "C'mon, Nozo-hime...stop that before you ruin our couch..."

"Hmmm, ok!" Nozomi grinned, and to Naruto's surprise she jumped into his arms, knocking them both onto the floor.

The boy's eyes widened, and he gave a sheepish chuckle as the girl purred, positioning herself so her body fit perfectly against his, curve for curve, and so on. Then she grinned down at him, apparently enjoying the fact that she had him pinned.

"Nozo-chan, what are you doing?!" The blond demanded, shivering as he felt one of her cool hands slide under his shirt and rest on his stomach. "Nozomi!"

The brunette grinned as she felt him shiver, and slid her hand further, up to his chest, where she began to circle one of his pecks with her index finger.

"N...No...zo...mi...?" Naruto blushed faintly and tried to push her hand away, shivering again.

The cat girl's grin widened as she saw the blush that was appearing on his face, and she lowered her head to whisper in one of his fuzzy fox ears, her voice low and excited. "Naru-kun...you want some?"

"Some...what...?" Naruto trailed off, trying to keep calm and hoping she wasn't implying what he thought she was implying.

"Ohhh, you know what I mean..." The brunette smirked and licked her lips before leaning in and whispering softly, "Sex."

Blue eyes went wide, and Naruto shook his head vigorously, trying to ignore the sudden tightness in his pants. "N-no thanks, Nozo-chan...I-I' already decided I would w-wait for that.." he said in a strained voice.

"Oh, really now?" The cat girl glanced down at his pants, then back at him and smirked. "I think your little buddy disagrees."

"Little...buddy...?" Naruto gulped as he realized she had seen his little...situation, and quickly squirmed out from under her. "No, Nozomi, what's WITH you?!"

"Aww, but Naru-kun," Nozomi reached out and grabbed his tail, stopping him from moving any further away. "We're getting married anyways..." The brunette gave him a seductive look. "I'm yours tonight if you can make me feel like a woman...so just take me already!"

The blond haired boy pulled his tail away and shook his head. "N-no, Nozomi! I will not do anything like that until we're married!"

"B-b-but...Naru-kun..." Nozomi pouted and stuck out her lower lip at him. "I want you..."

"Nozo-chan--"

"I'll take it anywhere you wanna give it!"

Naruto raised an eyebrow at her, a look of disbelief on his face. 'What has gotten INTO her?!' He frowned. 'She wasn't like this earlier! In fact, she was fine right up until...' His eyes widened in realization. 'The CATNIP! That HAS to be the cause for this!'

"So, are you ready now?"

The blond was snapped out of his thoughts at her words, and he shook his head. "N-no, Nozo-chan! I refuse to do this to you!" He frowned. "Don't you see this is the catnip affecting you?! Snap out of it, this isn't what you want!"

"Well, whatever it is, I don't care," The cat girl smirked and lunged at him. "I want you...right now."

"Nozomi, I already said no!" Naruto jumped back, then, scrambling to his feet. "I don't want to do that to you- you're not yourself right now!"

"Exactly, you should take advantage of that!" Nozomi smirked, getting to her feet and walking toward him slowly.

"What?!" the blond backed further away, holding his arms out in front of him in protest. "N-n-no! Even if I wanted to do that, you'd KILL me when you went back to normal!"

"Aww...but you could just stop me by cutting off my chakra with the jutsu you have controlling me..." The cat girl grinned, looking excited. "C'mon, Naru-kun, I KNOW you want this like I do...you've got all the obvious signs present! Let's just do it already!"

"Nozo-chan, NO. I already said I won't do it, and I MEANT it!" Naruto growled, backing further away.

"Oh....fine then." Nozomi hung her head for a minute before looking back up at him, a devious grin on her face. "Guess that means I'm gonna have to force it out of you." she said in a sing song voice.

"Oh, no..." Naruto sweatdropped and backed up more. "...You WOULDN'T!"

"Ohhh WOULDN'T I?"

"No, Nozomi...back off!" Naruto took another step back- and fell over backwards onto the bed. "C-Crap!" He shouted, trying to scramble back still.

Too late. Nozomi took a flying leap and landed on his stomach, pinning him once more. "Now you won't escape, Naru-kun..."

"Y-you're crazy, Nozomi, don't do this!" The blond cried, struggling to push her away. "You will REGRET this later, so stop!"

"Why would I regret giving myself to the man I love?" The brunette smirked as she yanked the boy's jacket and shirt off, then admired his muscular chest, sighing with a smile on her face. "Beautiful..." She leaned down and rested her head on his chest, noticing how fast the blond's heart was pounding. "...You're excited..." She giggled. "I'll make it fast, so you can stop anticipating so much, you poor guy.."

"What?! No!" Naruto sweatdropped as she removed his pants. "I'm not excited, I'm scared to death! Just leave me be!"

"Aha, no no no..." The girl pinning him grinned. "Ok...let's get started." She reached back and pulled off her jacket, exposing her see through netting top, which she began to remove.

Naruto frowned, chewing on his lip, shutting his eyes to avoid seeing her, as he remembered her reaction to him the time he'd accidentally walked in on her changing. "Nozo-chan.."

"C'mon...don't....be.....so.......hard......to.....get......?" Nozomi froze then, the lustful look in her eyes vanishing, and being replaced by what could only be described as shock. "Wh..what the...?"

She then glanced down, noticing where she was and how she was positioned, and a dark blush spread across her face. "GAH!" The cat girl hopped down from the bed and grabbed her jacket off the floor, where she'd thrown it before, hurriedly pulling it on and covering herself back up.

Already knowing how Naruto looked, the brunette turned her back to him and stood up. "S-sorry...Naruto-kun...I...uh...didn't..mean--I--err--"

Naruto glanced at her, relief washing over him like a tidal wave, and he stood up, hurriedly redressing himself, then walked over to the cat girl and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. "It's ok, Nozo-chan...like I said before....that wasn't you...it was someone else..."

The brunette untensed her shoulders and turned to face him, a sheepish grin on her face. "Y-yeah...I love you...but....I don't want to do....that.."

"Not yet." Naruto smiled softly, leaning back and looking at her. "It's ok...I forgive you..."

Nozomi heaved a relieved sigh and leaned her head on the blond. "I'm so glad..."

"However," The boy spoke up, "I think after tonight, we'll both agree on one thing.."

The brunette glanced up at him and nodded, eyes serious, speaking almost at the exact moment that he did.

"No more catnip!"
