Creak

"Kuso!" The young Hokage swore under his breath as he opened his front door.

It was 1 o'clock in the morning and Naruto was trying very hard to keep quiet as his family had long since went to bed. Naruto cringed as he closed the door behind him, the hinge's high pitched shriek was deafening in the stillness of the night. Making a mental note to oil those damn hinges in the morning Naruto bent down to remove his shoes only to trip over Boruto's pair that were haphazardly strewn in the entrance way.

CRASH!

He saw a light come on upstairs 'So much for trying to stay quiet' Naruto thought.

"Anata?" Hinata called as she made her way down the stairs. "What happened? Are you okay?"

"ah. Un. I'm fine Hinata. I just tripped over Boruto's shoes. That dang kid. When will he learn to put his things away nicely."

Hinata chuckled, "I could ask you the same question Anata."

Naruto looked back to see he left his shoes in quite the same state as Boruto had.

"ah. Warui Hinata." Feeling a little embarrassed he picked up both pairs of shoes and placed them in the shoe cabinet.

"Sorry I woke you Hinata. You can go back to bed I'll be there soon, I'll just shower and bathe first."

"It's alright. Would you like me to draw a bath for you instead?"

Naruto smiled at his wife. "You are too good to me ."

"I know." She wittily replied as she headed back up the stairs to prepare Naruto's bath. Naruto chuckled and made his way to follow his wife. As he made his way along the corridor he decided to check on his kids. Hoping Himawari's door wasn't as loud as the main door, Naruto gingerly cracked it open just to peak at his little princess. To his surprise her bed still made and empty. 'Strange' He thought. Popping across the hall to Boruto's door he looked in to find his bed also empty, but unlike his sister's Boruto's looked like he had been in it not too long ago.

With slightest amount of worry, Naruto headed to the bathroom to ask his wife were his children were.

"Hinata, where are the kids?"

"Well Himawari is staying over with Hanabi at the compound, but Boruto should be home."

Switching to sage mode Naruto did a quick scan for his son's chakra. He found him at the Sarutobi compound.

Shaking his head, Naruto sighed. "Geez that kid."

"Doushita Anata?"

"Don't worry. He's at Konohamaru's house. Why, I have no idea." He leaned over to kiss his wife. "He'll come home sooner or later and if he doesn't it will be Konohamaru's job to feed him."

"Anata!" Hinata gave him a slap on the arm. "Well your bath is ready. I'm going down to make some tea."

Naruto grabbed her wrist and eyed her mischievously.

"Join me."

"eh?!" Hinata exclaimed "NO! That's so embarrassing Naruto-kun"

"aww come on Hinata, we used to bathe together all time."

"That was before we had kids!" she scolded.

"The kids aren't here now."

"Boruto could come home at any time."

"Then we'd better hurry." Naruto grabbed his wife by the waist and brought her in close. He looked at her with pleading eyes. "Please hime?"

Hinata gazed up at her husband. How could she refuse those eyes? It was true, that in their early days of marriage they would bathe together almost daily. Now between Naruto's schedule and taking care of the kids they hardly had time for themselves. She had to admit, she missed those times when they would come home after training together they would wash each other clean then make love. Desire stirred in her core. Biting her lower lip, she sheepishly replied, "okay."

"yatta!" Naruto cried triumphantly. He picked his wife up bridal style and made his way to the bathroom.

"Chotto matte Naruto-kun!" Hinata was squirming in his arms. "Put me down!"

Naruto stopped walking, but disobeyed her order. "but Hinata! You said we could bathe together!"

"I know, but I already showered and washed my hair. Go wash and I'll join you in 10 minutes to soak in the tub."

Naruto gently set her feet on the floor.

"5 minutes." He whispered in her ear then set off stripping as he went leaving a trail of clothes in his wake.
