A one-shot! I came up with this idea and just had to act on it! Don't worry, I'm still going with my other one! Anyways, I thought this was cute.

Sasuke: Am I in this one?

KisaLycorsis-san: Oh yeah, that reminds me! Sasuke came back at the age of 15 with Naruto and Sakura. The Rookie Nine are all 16 and Neji, Tenten, and Lee are all 17. All are Chuunin..got it?!

Sasuke: Did you just tough talk a dead body?

KisaLycorsis-san: What? -stares incredulously-

Sasuke: It's a line from Starsky and Hutch..what?!

KisaLycorsis-san: Okay..what it is?

Sasuke: What?

KisaLycorsis-san: -sighs- Read my disclaimer.

Sasuke: You could never own anything so cool as..oh crap.

KisaLycorsis-san: Finish it!

Sasuke: As...Naruto.

Naruto: Whoo-hoo! I'm cool!

Sasuke: Why Kami? Why?

It was a normal day in the Leaf. Birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and shinobi were training. One such shinobi was Uzumaki Naruto. He was at Team Seven's training grounds, practicing his Rasengan on clones. He'd been going at it for several hours, and he was just about to quit for the day when he felt a familiar chakra presence heading towards him.

'What's she doing out here alone?' he thought in surprise as she got closer and closer. When she finally stepped into the clearing, he was running towards her with a huge grin. "Hey Hinata! What'cha doin'?!"

She blushed at his enthusiastic greeting. "Uh..I was out for a walk before meeting with Tenten. A-are you training?"

"Yeah, but I'm done now. Hey, you wanna watch the clouds?!" Without waiting for an answer, he grabbed her hand and ran over to a shady tree. She gasped at this sudden change of events and would have fainted had she been younger. He sat down, still holding onto her hand, and pulling her down with him. She landed somewhat awkwardly, lying on her side beside him.

"Ooh look! That one looks like Lee!" Naruto yelled, pointing up at a cloud.

She glanced up and flinched at the strangely shaped cloud that did, indeed, look like their, er, youthful friend. "Y-yes, it does..oh, and that one looks like a--"

"--bowl of ramen!" He finished with a gleeful shout. She sweat dropped. "Well, I was going to say a sheep, but okay."

They stayed that way for about two hours, just staring up at the clouds, occasionally pointing out shapes to each other. As the time passed, Hinata got increasingly comfortable, and increasingly drowsy. No wonder Shikamaru slept so much...the warm sun, the beautiful cloud...Naruto's hand still holding hers...

"--doesn't that one remind you of a--Hinata?" He glanced down when she didn't respond. She was sleeping soundly, pressed against his side, her arms halfway wrapped around him. Her legs were curled up against him, her knees just touching his leg. He smiled at the pretty picture she made, her hair swept away from her face, her pale skin glowing in the sunlight, her eyes closed, and a peaceful expression on her face.

His eyes traveled farther down her. She must have had her jacket unzipped the whole time. The way she was laying, he could just barely see the curve of her breast. And the--

"What the hell?!" he shouted.

She started, her eyes automatically opening and staring up at him in shock at her abrupt awakening. "Wh-wh-what?" she stammered.

He ignored her, pushing against her left shoulder and causing her to roll over onto her back. Before she could protest, he was unzipping her jacket all the way and opening it. Sure, she wore an undershirt, but it was low-cut and practically see-through. "N-N-Naruto-kun, wh-what are you--aah!" His hand on her breast caused a gasp of surprise to slip past her lips.

He was studying the appendage with a frown of concentration. "Where the hell did you get this?!"

'My...breasts..?' she thought in confusion, then realized that he was pointing at the purple bruise marring her pale skin. "Uh…the bruise? Just normal bruise...you know, tr-training..!!" she stammered once again as his hand moved on her breast, as if he were trying to get a better angle.

"How do you get it here, though?! Did someone give this to you?! I'll kill him--or her!" He swore viciously.

Secretly pleased that he was so protective, she nevertheless said, "No, Naruto-kun, I promise you. I got it yesterday training with Neji, I swear. It was from a Jyuken strike."

This seemed to relax him. "Well, that's a relief…do you have any more?"

She thought for a minute to when she'd taken a shower earlier that day. "Eh….a few on my legs, I think--Naruto, what are you doing?!" She shrieked when his hands strayed to the waistband of her pants.

He looked up at her innocently. "I'm checking them out. I want to make sure you're okay."

"W-well, I appreciate you caring about me, but you don't have to--"

His fingers curled into her waistband and began to shimmy the pants down her hips. She gave in with a sigh and let him work them down until he left them around her ankles. When his fingers ran up her legs, she shivered but didn't complain. When they ran up to her thighs, however, she glanced down at him. He seemed to be studying the bruise next to her panty line. He was frowning. "What about this one? Where did that one come from?" His tone was slightly accusatory, as if he thought she was lying.

Hinata sighed. "I was playing around with Akamaru a few days ago, and I was pressed against a hard root. See, it's starting to turn yellow."

He stared at her face suspiciously, then nodded. "That makes sense. Still…"

A muscle started to tick in her jaw. It took a lot to make Hinata annoyed, but his over-protectiveness was grating on her nerves. "Naruto-kun, maybe we should--"

"Hinata! Where'd ya go?!" Tenten's voice drifted from their right. "I told you to meet me thirty minutes ago--WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Hinata buried her face in her hands and groaned. "Please be suddenly struck by blindness, deafness, and muteness...maybe throw in insanity, too…" she muttered to herself.

Naruto grinned up at Tenten and said, "Hey, how's it goin'?"

The weapons mistress stared at him incredulously. "Are you stupid?! What the fuck are you two doing?!" she yelled.

The blonde stared down at Hinata, whose thigh he was still caressing. "Uh...checking Hinata for bruises?" he replied as if it were a question.

Tenten crossed her arms over her chest with a glare down at the dense shinobi. "'Checking Hinata for bruises'? Is that the best you can come up with?!"

"Huh?" His expression was dumbfounded. "I don't get it."

The brunette kicked him off of Hinata, and pulled the girl up. "Really, Hinata, I blame you, too. Why did you just lay there?!" She brushed the girl off and helped her straighten her clothing.

Hinata was gazing down at Naruto in concern. "T-Tenten….really, he was just checking me for bruises!"

Her friend snorted and gave her a death glare. "Can it. Neji's gotta know about this!"

Hinata's pale face paled even more. "N-no, please no, Tenten! We're telling the truth!"

Naruto sat up and rubbed his stomach with a grimace. "Geez, why'd ya have to kick me?! Hey, where are you two going?!" he asked as Tenten marched Hinata away.

She didn't answer, so he followed.

They walked through Konoha and to Ino's flower shop. Inside stood Ino, Sakura, Sasuke, Lee, and Neji. (Why so many? Who knows?!) Tenten dragged Hinata inside, and Naruto followed. They all looked up as the bell above the door rang, and Ino immediately sprang up, then saw who it was and collapsed back into the chair. "Oh, it's you three. Naruto, if you break it, you bought it."

Naruto looked ready to protest, but Tenten beat him to it. "He won't break any damn flowers! But I'm going to break his NECK!" she yelled.

Sakura sweat dropped. "Er, what did he do?" she asked, then gave an eep when the brunette turned on her, fire burning in her eyes. "What did he do? What did he do?! WHAT DID HE DO?! HOW ABOUT….HE DEFILED HINATA!"

"I did not!" Naruto yelled in shock as everyone suddenly turned on him. "I swear, I was just checking her for bruises!"

"You perv! How dare you defile Hinata?!" Ino shouted angrily.

A muscle in Neji's jaw was ticking dangerously, and he'd unconsciously activated his Byakugan. "How…dare…you..?" he said through gritted teeth.

Sasuke shook his head. "Dobe."

Hinata stepped in front of Naruto and splayed her arms out as she said, "Calm down, everyone! He's telling the truth! He just happened to see a bruise on me and was concerned! He was being sweet, and a little too overprotective, but he was just worried that someone was hurting me!"

Sasuke nodded, as if accepting her explanation. But the others, except perhaps Lee, who was playing with a flower, still looked murderous. "Don't protect him, Hinata-sama!" Neji growled. "Let's see...should I go for his heart or his groin?"

Naruto paled and crossed his legs in fear. Hinata rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, guys, I told you what really happened. Now leave Naruto alone. He did not, and has never, 'defiled' me."

Sakura laughed. "Oh really? He's just the type, too. Perv, always hanging out with that perv Jiraiya-sama, doing perv things--the word perv pretty much describes him!"

They advanced on him, causing him and Hinata to shrink back into a corner. Right before they reached them, Hinata cried out, "Okay, okay, it was me!"

The only sound in the room was Naruto's heavy breathing.

"What was you?" Tenten asked.

Hinata sighed and brushed her bangs out of her forehead. "The whole thing was my fault. I told Naruto how I felt about him, then asked him to make love to me. And then TENTEN came and found us. You all know I love Naruto, so is this really a surprise?"

Naruto blinked. "Huh?"

Sakura and Ino glanced at each other. Sasuke's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh. Neji and Tenten had identical looks of horror on their faces. Lee was...still talking to the flower. "S-so YOU'RE the pervert?" Tenten asked uncertainly.

Hinata nodded. "Yup. Now will you please leave us alone? Naruto and I need to talk about…..things." She grabbed his arm and propelled him forward. The others created a path for them, then watched with open mouths as the two left the store.

"Wow…" Sakura shook her head. "I can't believe Hinata would do something like that."

"Me neither," Sasuke replied, a smirk on his face.

Meanwhile, Hinata dragged Naruto far away from the shop and into an alley. There, she let go of him and sighed deeply. "Geez, that was close. Just think what they would have done to you if I hadn't--"

He cut her off with a sudden kiss on the lips. She stumbled and would have fallen if his arms hadn't come around her to hold her upright and against him. She blinked in confusion, then melted into him, kissing him back passionately.

He broke the kiss, then smiled down at her. "I love you, too," he said simply.

She blinked once again, then smiled dreamily and pulled him down for another, but not before saying, "I know."

Awwww! Fluffy funniness! Review, please! I have another idea for something like this, so I might make another one-shot. Tell me what ya think
