Chapter 1

It was that time of year. Where the once, colorful scenery was bright with green trees and varies of colors of flowers, was now covered in in a white blanket of snow. Konaha would normally be loud and busy. Everyone would be out doing the work for the day. But whenever winter time seem to roll in, the street of Konaha would become quieter. Less busy and more calm. With the serene feels flowing among the village, even the up most activate ninjas all just wanted to rest and unwind. For what could possible needed to be down on days like this?

The snow had the same effect of those within the Uzumaki's household. It was yet another morning, with the light snowing falling from the sky. Adding on to the already setting snow on the ground. It was quiet in their household. The two lovers were sound asleep in their bed. The comfort and heat of each other's bodies were keeping them warm from the longing morning chill that was outside of them.

Naruto was the first to stir wake, as if his body was commanding him to move. He was starting to groan in frustration. He wanted to sleep more, but that didn't look it was going to happen. He was not much of a morning person, but everyday his body would force him awake as if sleep was its worst enemy. Finally, after getting over the fact that he was not going back to sleep, he opened his eyes slightly and stared at the ceiling. As though he trying to adjust his eyes to the brightly lit room, he blinked a few time and rubbed his eyes. He sighed and turned his head towards the window.

'It snowing again, huh?' Ever since it has started snowing, Naruto has become lazier and lazier, this weather was making him not want to do anything. Some day he would actually not…do anything. But today he had to get up. He had a mission that he has been dreading since Kakashi has announced it to him and those of his team.

Flashback:

Naruto was at home with Hinata while she was explaining the meeting she had with her father about the clan. A knock at their door had interrupted the conversation. Hinata went and open it. It was Shikamaru. "Hi, Shikamaru. Come in." As she stepped inside to let the man in. "Hi Hinata, is Naruto here?" He kicked off his shoes and walking inside. Hinata had closed the door. "Yes, he's in the living room." Shikamaru had walked towards the living room with Hinata behind him. "Naruto, Shikamaru's here."

Naruto was sitting on the couch and had turned his head around to look at the man. "Hey, what's up? What are you doing here?" Shikamaru went and sat down across from Naruto. "Would you like some tea?" Hinata had offered him. "No thanks, I'll only be here for a little. Hinata nodded. She walked over and sat next to Naruto on the couch. "Sooo, what are you doing here?" Naruto had asked yet again. Shikamaru had sighed and said. "We have been requested by the Hokage and I came to pick you up." Naruto suddenly got excitied and smiled. "Do we have a mission?" Shikamaru had this lazy tone in his voice, "Most likely…can you get ready so we can go? This is already troublesome." Hinata smiled at Shikamaru because she knew this was cutting into his daily nap time somewhere else. "Yea, I'll be right back." Naruto said as he jumped off the couch and ran upstairs.

Once he was ready to go, Naruto had gave Hinata a kiss goodbye. "See ya later, Hina!" She smiled and waves as the men had left and headed towards the Hokage's office. Once there, Shikamaru had knocked, letting Kakashi know that they are there before entering. When they enter the room, Kakashi had greeted the two. "Ah, Naruto…Shikamaru, thank you for coming." Both had went and stood there in front of Kakashi. Naruto had his hands behind his head and Shikamaru had his in his pockets. They were waiting for Kakashi to continue.

"So…are we waiting for someone?" Naruto had asked. "Oh yea, they should be here soon. Right as he said that, there was a knock at his door. "Enter." The door had opened and Ino had walked in. She went to go and stand next to Shikamaru. "Alright, now that everyone is here…I can now explain your mission." The three nodded. "There will be a meeting between the Kage's advisors in the Village Hidden the Cloud in about two weeks' time. You will be discussing who will be considered a Kage next from those we have picked to represent us before we set down. Naruto will be going because he is who I am considering to become the next Hokage, as for Shikamaru you are leaning towards being his advisor when the time comes. Ino will be at your side helping with relying anything important back to the Leaf. I hope this meeting will go will and that we all can still work well with each other." Kakashi turned his head and looked at Naruto, "Naruto, while you are there make sure that you have a chance to visit Bee, alright." Naruto nodded. "Sure."

"How long are we expected to be gone?" Ino had asked. Kakashi smiled under is mask and looked at those before him. "About a month…maybe longer, depending on how the mission goes." Naruto, who honestly had stopped paying attention consider this mission had no serious threat, had looked shocked at what his former teacher had said. "Wait…how long? Did you just say a month?" Kakashi nodded. All Naruto could do was sigh. As much as he loved missions, he didn't like to leave his wife. A month or longer was a long time not to see Hinata. Kakashi could see how frustrated Naruto had become and just laughed it off to himself. 'Can he really not hold out a while?' "Shikamura will be team leader and I will be giving you more information before the time come. For now, you are all dismissed." Everyone had walked out of the room and that was the end of that.

End of Flashback

He wasn't upset about the mission, more like he didn't want to leave Hinata. He just wanted to stay here with her and be held in her arms as she played with his hair. Nothing more. But a month or longer without his wife, he wasn't so sure about. He sighed, knowing that he has to get up and get ready. His team was leaving around noon.

Naruto looked away from the window and started to move his body so that he could get up, but he felt something heavy on his chest. He moved the covers up and looked down to see his wife, peacefully sleeping on him. Her breathing was light. Some of her hair was in her face and she had an arm wrapped around his chest. Naruto smiled to himself. He hasn't even left yet and he was already dreading this day. This sight of his beautiful wife was what was keeping him from moving. He was going to miss walking up with her near him.

He wanted to just stay there and let her rest, he wanted to go back to sleep with him holding her in his arms. But he had to get up. 'Damn Kakashi…' Naruto reached over and grabbed her arm that was across his chest and slowly moved it, placing it next to her. Then he steadily moved his body from under hers and place her head down. He folded the covers back so they wouldn't suffocate her while she was sleeping. He got off the bed and stretched his body. Releasing the buildup tension within. While scratching his head, he went and grabbed his mission gear from a draw and headed towards the bathroom. He closed the door and turned the shower on. He got in and washed away at his body.

When Naruto had went into the shower, Hinata had started to wake up. The second the warmth of her husband had disappeared, she felt very uncomfortable. It wasn't the same as when he was right next to her. She slightly opened her eyes and looked around the room. She saw that it was snowing yet again and decided that snuggling into the blanket was better than getting up. That exactly what she did. For about five minutes, until she noticed the room was oddly silent. She pushed herself up with her elbow and looked for her husband, but he was nowhere to be found. Until she heard the water in the shower shut off. She smiled to herself. He was somewhere near, and that's all that mattered. She stretched her arms out and yawned. She had a really good night of sleep. While she was stretching, something dawned on her. Today was the day Naruto was leaving for his mission.

She got a little sad at this thought. Her husband would be gone by noon and she would be alone. When he told her about the mission, she almost had the same reaction as he did. A month without Naruto was going to be a lonely one. She sat and played with her hands, a nervous habit she hasn't broken. She knew this mission was important for her husband to become Hokage. This mission was going to determine his fate. But a month or even longer without him…she sighed to herself. What could she do about it? She wouldn't go, because she might be needed here for other missions. So she would just have to wait. Hinata felt the sleep in her eyes and rubbed it out. Naruto had opened the door to the bathroom.

Naruto had walked into the room with only his orange pants on and a towel around his neck. He saw something from the corner of his eye, and turned to look at it. It was Hinata sitting up. Her hair was kind of all over the place and she was rubbing her eyes. The shirt she was wearing was rolled up a little past her thigh and the upper half of her shirt was hanging off of her shoulder. Naruto was staring at her. Moment likes this were really making him consider going on this mission. She looked so cute.

Hinata stopped rubbing her eyes and saw Naruto standing in front of her. She smiled at him. Naruto smiled back at her and walked over to her. "Good morning, beautiful." He bent down and kissed her forehead. She blushed a little. "Good morning..." Naruto stepped back and looked out the window. It took a while, but Hinata had noticed that he wasn't wearing a shirt. His muscle were taunting her, for she wanted to touch him. She blushed a little deeper. She got off the bed and walked over to the bathroom to freshen up. When she came back, Naruto was sitting on the bed, drying his hair. Hinata walked over and grab his hand gently, stopping him from continuing. "Let me do it for you." Naruto looked into her eyes and he could tell she seemed a little sad. Hinata grabbed the towel and started drying his hair.

It was quiet in the room. For all that could be heard were the sounds of the towel being rubbed against his head. The two said nothing. They relaxed into the silence and comfort of each other. They were going to miss this too. Just being near each other without having to say a word, but they enjoyed every minute of it. After a while, Naruto was the first to move. He grabbed Hinata by her waist and pulled her closer to him. He rested his forehead on her stomach. Hinata could feel his distress. He wasn't pleased about this day at all. She placed the towel on the bed and wrapped her arms around his head, squeezing lightly. They were silent for a little while longer. Naruto had finally broken it, "I'm going to miss you so much." Hinata pulled back a little and look at his eyes. She placed a kiss on his forehead. "I'm going to miss you too. "

Naruto grabbed Hinata and pulled her so she was sitting on his lap. He hugged her close, for he won't be feeling this warmth for a while. "I understand how you feel…but I'll be here waiting for you to come home to me. So please…take your time on this mission and be safe for me, okay?" Naruto nodded. He reach down to grab her hand, intertwining her fingers between his. Hinata moved her head from his chest and looked at him. Naruto used his other hand and cupped her chin, he placed his lips upon hers and kissed her.

This kiss was passionate and sweet. The two were expressing their love. Hinata knew that Naruto was a very strong ninja, but that didn't stop her from worrying about him. She had to keep telling herself that he would be okay, because soon enough she would believe it. But what about her? Would she be okay?

Naruto knew that no one would dare mess with Hinata, but that didn't stop anyone from doing something to his beloved wife. She was too sweet and innocence. With him being gone, he knew that anyone could take advantage of that.

They had broken the kiss. Hinata had taken her other hand and rubbed it across Naruto's bare chest. She traced her hand up his chest, going over his toned muscles until she got to his neck. She moved her hand more until it was at his face. Her fingertip gentle grazed over his whisker mark until she was at his lips. Naruto watched her intensely, as if she was feeling every part of his body that she was going to miss. Her fingers had stopped at his lips, just resting there. He kissed her finger, causing her to blush a little. Naruto smiled and took her hand, placing a kiss on her palm.

"How much time do you have before you leave?" Hinata had asked quietly. "A few hours…" He mummed into her palm. Hinata grew a little sad, for their time together was getting shorter and shorter. "Do you want some breakfast?" Naruto had nodded slightly for he was a little hungry, but not for food. "Anything special you want? Hinata had asked him. Naruto moved his face from the palm of her hand, he grabbed her chin and tilted her head up so that he was looking at her. He ran his thumb across her lips before placing a kiss on them. It was sweet, but was slowly getting intense. Naruto broken the kiss. "…You." He whispered to her.
