August 1, 2009: It's been decided that i'm making this a 2-shot. Have it all planned, i just need to write it haha. (8 days til my b-day :)
Sleep Deprivation.
The number three cause of death for a ninja was sleep deprivation. It was based on some random fact Sai mentioned. In his current state, he just couldn't remember all the details. It was ten days ago that he made a stupid bet with Sai about being able to stay up for a week. He won the bet… but lost in every other way.
Flashback
The first night he stayed up was easy. A few shots of caffeine were more than enough to last the night. But it reeked horrible results during the next day. The blond had to find another way to stay awake. The crash he gets from caffeine almost caused him to lose the bet. He tried asking Sakura about it but she dismissed him entirely.
It went something like, "What kind of Ninja makes a stupid bet like that? Do yourself a favor and take a long nap. Sleep deprivation is the third leading cause in death for a ninja," maybe Sakura was the one to mention the fact. That just made him wonder how his stupid bet even started.
Well despite her uncooperativeness, he managed to snag a few pills while she wasn't looking. He thought about using soldier pills but those things never agreed with his body, and the extra boost of adrenaline was definitely dangerous due to his tenant. The pills he had now seemed perfect for what he had in mind. The thought that it would have an ill affect on him never even occurred.
That night he took the pills hoping it would help him reduce the drowsiness that'd been plaguing for a while. It took a while for him to feel any of the effects, but they were there. Several times he felt the power of sleep devour him, but he just wouldn't yield. He remained tired, but the small line between sleep and awake turned into an impassible wall. The rest of the week he felt his body weaken, ready for sleep, yet his mind wouldn't let up. He tried looking up the drug in some medical scrolls and found it caused a hormonal imbalance that would keep the patient's mind running thus preventing sleep. The length of affect was written down as eight to ten hours, but it had already been three days! It was then that he would swear off the use any kind of synthetically created drug no matter what. The teen knew his tenant's presence wouldn't let any drug work well with him, no poison every did.
So as the days slowly crawled by, he did his best to hide his disorder. If Sakura ever found out he stole drugs from her she'd beat him to an inch of his life then heal him only to beat on him once more. No he pretended to be ok. Every time someone asked him if he was ok, he'd give them an energetic grin and dismiss the idea. And it was this false sense of health that dumped him into a mission.
End flashback
What was he doing again? "Itai!" the blond stubbed his toe on large rock.
That's right he couldn't sleep. After rolling around the tent for what seemed like forever, he decided to go for a stroll to see if a clear night could help ease his aching head. It turned out twenty minutes of wandering around barefooted and shirtless made no difference.
The whiskered teen dragged his heavy body back to camp and flopped inside the nearest tent that came to view. His body seemed almost numb, but he felt the flaps of the tent entrance brush against his face. When his whole body was inside, the blond fell right on his belly.
'Soft,' he couldn't even make complete sentences in his head anymore. Though his sleeping bag did feel much softer than before. With his eyelids completely shut, he squirmed further up the softness and snuggled against an odd source of heat thus making himself vulnerable to the pheromones that wafted the air. That was when all his desires were fulfilled.
Naruto fell asleep.
Subconsciously his body rolled to his side and his right arm shifted over to drape itself over a peculiar lump. That's how he slept the rest of the night.
A few minutes later the blonds' heat source started to stir. Her eyes fluttered open after feeling the vibrations of movement. She was relatively a light sleeper. After a few more seconds, she began to make out the feeling of a heavy object layered over her waist.
Trusting her instincts, she grabbed a kunai from underneath her pillow and activated her doujutsu. To her surprise, the intruder was none other than her crush of nearly ten years. Naruto Uzumaki, the boy who she had secretly liked since she was six was literally sleeping with her, his arm wrapped protectively around her waist and one hand nestled just underneath the swell of her breast. A small laugh escaped her tired lips, she was dreaming. That was the only reasonable possibility.
Deciding not to waste such an opportunity, the lavender-eyed teen rolled her body over and dug herself deep within the blonds' chest. It was warm, comfy, and all to realistic, but she was already asleep before a second thought could be produced.
Small streams of light beamed through the crack of the tent entrance. It was that intrusion the caused the genin to stir. His eyes slowly parted, 'Morning already?'
3...2...1... "I slept!" the teen nearly shouted. He wanted to dance around in joy but his body hadn't fully aroused, surely he still needed a few more hours of sleep. Then a soft murmur came from beneath him.
Right there lying on his chest was beautiful sixteen year old girl. The more his eyes focused, the more of her he took in. First things he noticed was her slender but curvy figure that pressed tantalizingly against his own. Then it was the fact that she was only wearing a white tank-top and from the way her sleeping bag parted, anything but pants. Following that was her long indigo-colored hair and soft porcelain skin. Finally the simple fact that this girl was Hinata Hyuuga.
He began trying to pull himself away from her. Naruto did not want her to wake up thinking he was some pervert that wanted to grope her while she slept, but the more he struggled, the more she pulled on him, and the more skin she exposed. It didn't take long for him to quit entirely and hold back from flat out glomping the girl.
He had one elbow propping him up and the other still trapped beneath the indigo-haired beauty. Most of her coverings had slid down her leg revealing boy shorts and long smooth legs. The straps from her blouse also lowered down her soft arms showing more skin and a bit of cleavage. His hand was only a few inches from cupping those beautiful mounds when he stopped, 'No! I'm not a pervert!' he said in his head adamantly.
He moved his arm way just when Hinata stirred. The moment she woke up, she felt an object brush against her chest, "Mn… Naruto-kun," a small whimper escaped her lips.
Then another she heard voice, "Ah! Gomen 'Nata!" that was Naruto's voice.
"Naruto-kun!," she jumped out of his partial embrace and pulled the blanket up against her.
"Ano… Ohayo Hinata-chan," he said nervously.
'It wasn't a dream…' her eyes were kept wide and inadvertently activated her Byakugan. With it on, she couldn't help notice the considerable sized tent that grew from the boy's tent, "EEP!"
"Gomen!" he shouted as he ran out of the tent.
The blond quickly made his way back to his own sleeping quarters when his tent-mate appeared at it's entrance. His lazy face looked at him with little emotion, "I don't want to know," the pineapple headed teen spoke. No other words were exchanged as he got changed and left the tent once more.
The three man cell had a very silent breakfast. The entire time, Naruto kept stealing glances from his female teammate while she blushed heavily.
"I hate meddling so I'll just say this. In a few hours we'll be at the village to drop of the medicine. Then if we travel back in a steady pace we'll be back in Konoha before nightfall. Try to keep yourselves focused until then," Shikamaru lectured before walking back towards the tents to finish packing up.
They made it to the small village with relative ease. Neither had said a word until they made their way back home.
Traveling through the canopy was always a good way to get somewhere with relative quickness. With chakra boosting capabilities, the effort was minimized to how one would normally jog. The whole way back Naruto was wondered how he was finally able to fall asleep. He knew Hinata had something to do with it.
Slowly he sped up and approached her, "Hey 'Nata,"
She turned her head to greet him though just enough for to keep her blush hidden, "Yes Naruto-kun?"
Like habit, he brought his gaze towards the sky above, something that was very dangerous when traveling by tree top. "Look, I just wanted to explain what happened last night," all she did was nod her head, "Ok promise to keep this a secret, cause Sakura would kill me if she found out,"
Again she nodded. He continued to explain himself from the very beginning, about the bet, the pills and the ten restless nights.
"Naruto-kun! It's dangerous what you've done. Don't you know Sleep Deprivation is the third foremost cause of death for a ninja," she lightly criticized.
Of course it was, "Uh haha… yeah… so I've heard," he chuckled nervously, "But I think I'm cured. I'm not too sure what happened but when I… ano… slept with you, my mind calmed down enough for me to sleep,"
Hinata felt her heart swell. Without even knowing, she was able to help her crush, "Are you sure you're fine. Shouldn't you see Tsunade-sama about this?" the girl was still worried.
"Bah, I'm great now. I just need a couple more hours of sleep when I get home and I'll be back to a hundred twenty percent," he pumped his chest outwards.
Hinata gave him a smile. There seemed to be nothing that could keep her crush down.
They arrived in Konoha just before the sun had set. Shikamaru offered to do the mission briefing himself. Nothing notable happened, as far as the mission went, so there was no need for all of them to be there. Both Hinata and Naruto gave there thanks and bid him a good night. Being the gentleman that he was, the blond offered to walk the girl home.
He couldn't help but enjoy her company and the tiny shocks he got when there hands brushed against each other. Much too soon had they arrived at the gates of the Hyuuga Manor, "Arigato Naruto-kun… f-for walking me home," she still had that slight stutter.
He grinned widely, "No problem. I should really be thanking you! I'd be a wreck if it weren't for your help," she smiled while trying to avoid his gaze, "Ano… Hinata. If you aren't busy tomorrow… I was thinking maybe we could get lunch?"
Her eyes widened once more, though this time her doujutsu remained inactive, "A-a D-date?" her stutter back in full force.
"Uh… yeah. Around noon sound good?" she only nodded. Happy to finally not be rejected, he rushed over to give her a hug. The lavender-eyed teen was still a bit shocked to respond much. His arms remained fasted around her waist while his cheek rested on her head. He never noticed before how the smell of her hair made him woozy.
After a few seconds he let go and waved goodbye. Like a zombie painted completely red, she thoughtlessly walked into her home and fell asleep with the same thought repeating in her mind, 'I have a date with Naruto-kun,'
Naruto went to bed with a huge smile on his face. Soon it would be morning and a few hours closer to his date with Hinata.
A couple minutes went by and he was still wide awake. 'Maybe I should stop thinking about tomorrow so much,' he got up and microwaved a glass of milk. That had warmed up his throat and made him even more comfortable.
The blond waited a few more minutes and still no sleep. Then it became an hour, then a several hours. The sun was already up and he had yet to sleep. Naruto Uzumaki was not cured.
He was so enraptured in his predicament that he missed the sound of knocking from the living room. A second louder round of knocks finally tripped him out of his gaze. Lazily he wandered towards the door completely forgetting what time it was. Naruto opened the door only to be surprised to see Hinata looking incredibly attractive in her warm yellow sundress.
"Hello Naruto-kun I…" she trailed off poking her two index fingers together. It wasn't until she saw the small bags under his blue eyes that she realized something was wrong, "Oh Naruto-kun! You haven't slept a bit have you?" the girl said as she took his hand and led him inside, closing the door behind him.
"Gomen 'Nata. I didn't mean to stay up," his voice was groggy from the night of restlessness.
She could see him stumble while walking so brought one of his arms around her shoulder for support. Feeling much more comfortable, the blond leaned into her more, his face landing on the side of her neck. With every step they took, the more weight Hinata felt she carried. At last she was able to get both of them in a seating position on his bed, "Naruto-kun?" she whispered while lightly shaking his shoulders.
"Woah!" the teen startled himself awake, "What happened?"
"I-I think you fell asleep," now she knew she definitely had something to do with his ability to sleep. But how? Hinata stood back up and walked towards his desk. On it was an empty pill container and a medical scroll. "Ano… I-is were these from the pills you took,"
He gave a nod while feeling less sleepy.
The girl read over the scroll and made a fascinating discovery. 'Perhaps the side affect created some sort of chemical disorder that's keeping him from sleeping. And something about me is counter-balancing the affect," the girl brainstormed. What could it be that's affecting Naruto? She brushed her hair to one side, then came to a realization.
Blushing, she took a grasp of her long hair and approached the blond, "C-can you please smell my hair. I want to test something out,"
Not wanting to argue, he complied. The odd feeling of lightheadedness returned the moment he took a whiff, "It's really hyaaahhh… nice," he yawned.
"That's it! Naruto-kun the pheromones from my body are countering the hormonal imbalance in your system!" she revealed.
He gave her an odd look, but smiled. He was too tired to try and understand what she was saying, "Ano… the smell of my hair makes you sleepy," she simplified.
He quickly grinned, "That's great!" his hand took hers and led her down onto the bed.
"N-Naruto-kun?" her blush worsened.
"Hyaaaahhhnn onegai Hmn'Nata-chan" his voice slurred.
Inside she was giddy as a school girl with a crush, which wasn't far off from reality, "Maybe just for a bit,"
Without thinking he pulled her in, wrapping his strong arms around her, letting her nuzzle in the crook of his neck, "G'night Hinata-chaaauhh…" the whiskered quickly fell into slumber.
She smiled deeply within his neck, taking in all of his scent. Soon enough she began to feel affects of a dream's seduction. Her free arm fell a top of his own while her right hand held the side of his face. "Sleep soundly Naruto-koi," she whispered.
The spent the rest of the day enjoying their comfortable nap. And when night fell, they reveled in a good night's sleep.
