Demon Love
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Naruto characters
She awoke with the sun; her pale pupilless eyes opened slowly. A blush crossed her face as she remembered what she had been dreaming. Oh Naruto, she thought with a sigh, while thinking of the blond. Her dream had involved her and Naruto on a calm winter night in Konnoha, looking at the stars. She sighed again, while getting up to go wash, and ready herself for the day's tasks. As she walked into the bathroom, a knock came on the wooden part of her door, and a voiced respectfully said, "Hinata-sama, a message has come for you, from Lady Hokage. She asks to see you at the northern gate at noon. "Thank you, I'll be there soon," the pupilless girl announced while turning on the water for her shower. "Ha!" was the only reply that came from the door, as Hinata walked out to set up her cloths while the water warmed.
20 minutes later Hinata came walking out of her room, to see her father waiting for her, looking at the antique grandfather clock with his normal grimace on. He turned to Hinata, and she fought back the urge to flinch, or to step back. After a moment she mustered the courage to face him and said in a small voice, "I am going to see Hokage-sama about a mission, father." Hiashi just nodded, and, as if an after thought added, "don't get in your teams way." Hinata gave a small ashamed bow and scurried out the door.
The blond awoke to the sound of a siren and looked meekly at his alarm clock, turning it off, and looked around at the familiar setting of his house and noticed a kunai stuck in the wall. He sighed walking over to it to inspect the damage to his house, but halfway there he saw a purple slip of paper tied around the finger hole of the Kunai. What the hell? He thought as he read the piece of paper. It read: Uzumaki Naruto, report to the north gate at noon, on July 18th. Naurto blinked and looked at his colander, well it's the 18th he thought then turned his gaze to his clock. The blond's eye twitched in annoyance as he looked at the broken clock on the wall. He sighed and went to go take a quick shower. Well I'll go see the time at the roman shop. Naruto smiled at the idea of roman and went to shower quicker so that he would hopefully have time to eat.
Naruto Ran into Ichiraku roman, and yelled "hey, old man, what time is it?" A vain popped on the cook's head, but smiled when he saw his best costumer. He looked quickly to his clock above the stove and then said, "It's 11:20, Naruto, What will, you have?" Naruto Smiled and said, "I'll have an extra large bowl of miso, but quickly I have to go to the northern gate for a mission at noon. The cook smiled and went to make the roman. Ayama looked over to Naruto and smiled as she delivered the Roman, with extra beef, and fish, floating on the top of the broth. Naruto's smiled widened and looked over to the to, thanking them and gulping, it down.
After Naruto finished his bowl, he looked at the clock, payed the bill, and got up, to dash for the northern gate. As Naruto reached the gate he noticed Hinata, and Iruka, waiting at the gate. Naruto broke his stride after seeing, the two, and walked up to them, a smile planted on his face, as he looked over at his friends. As he finally stopped he noticed that Iruka looked paler then his usual tan color, and that Hinata was her usual beet red color when she looked at him. Why's she always so red, don't tell me she has a fever…and what's wrong with Iruka-sensei's pale color? Naruto thought to himself, and then decided to voice his thoughts about Iruka when a poof of smoke showed that Shizume had appeared. Naruto's smile widened as he said "Hi, Shizume-nichan!"
Shizume smiled at Naruto, saying a small hello, while looking over the three standing before her, Blushing slightly when she looked toward Iruka. Hinata recognized the type of blush, so she said nothing, but Naruto looked at Shizume and asked "Are you ok; do you have a fever Shizume-nichan?" Hinata giggled at the question, and at Shizume's gapping expression, of embarrassment. After a few moments, Shizume corrected her self and looked them over again, fighting the urge to blush, however unsuccessful. "Your mission is to deliver a package to the country of winds, lord. You will leave immediately, here is the package, and you are forbidden, to open it, underst-" Shizume was cut off as she saw Iruka, fall unconscious on the floor, breathing and sweating heavily. She looked in horror, before her training kicked in and she rushed to him, looking him, over. "He has a fever, I'll bring him over to the hospital, you two are to continue the mission, I'll send some reinforcements when some more arrive, understood?" she asked as she picked up Iruka, and after a nod for both Hinata, and Naruto, she disappeared into another poof of smoke.
Naruto picked up the small package that Shizume left on the ground, and put it away in his pack. "Well shale we go?" Naruto asked in a playful voice, which made Hinata blush even more. "y-yes, N-Naruto-kun" she mumbled out quietly. The blond gave her a confused look then asked in a soft caring voice, "Are you ok, Hinata-chan? Maybe you should go with Iruka-sensei, to make sure you aren't sick too." Did he say Chan? Maybe I do have a chance! She asked herself. Hinata blushed into a deep red and shook her head, not trusting her voice. Naruto looked at her for a minute and nodded his consent. As they walked out of the village, Naruto was thinking, Wow I get to be on a whole mission with just Hinata-chan! Lucky me; not that she would ever return my feelings though. You never know kittling I think she feels strongly for you, the eon old fox demon, thought inside the blonds mind, but I've sensed something…strange about her though, almost smells like one of my kind…
A couple of hours later Naruto and Hinata decided to set up camp for the night. They had decided to share a tent because of the small area of clearing. I'll go get some fire wood." Said Naruto, as he got up to go into the forest. Hinata nodded and as he left sight she decided to train. With a few hand seals Hinata whispered the word "Byakugan," a few veins next to her eyes popped out. But every time she tried to concentrate her 360 degree vision would switch to Naruto, she sighed and said "oh Naruto-kun, cant you see that I've waited for you ever since you left with Jiraiya-sama, for you to come back just so that I could tell you how I've felt about you since we were seven." Hinata sighed again, and turned off her Byakugan to put up the tent. She had just finished as Naruto returned with more wood then they would need, and Hinata giggled as he fought to keep his balance. Naruto Quickly made a pile of wood, with some flint in the opening; he then did some quick hand signs and sent a small flame into the hole to light the fire.
After dinner they decided to sleep a whole night while they could, since they were still in Fire Country. But as Naruto Lay and his sleeping back he couldn't find it comfortable, so even though it was summer he snuggled into the sleeping back and rolled on his side, Blushing deeply as he looked into Hinata's open, eyes. "What are you still doing awake Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked. "I-I can't sleep," was His only reply. Naruto nodded, a motion that would have gone unnoticed in the dark if it weren't a Hugga lying next to him. Then a cold breeze wafted into the tent and Hinata unconsciously snuggled into the nearest thing.
Naruto's eyes widened as Hinata snuggled into him. Hinata blushed more as she went to jump away, stammering, "I'm so s-s-sorry N-Naruto-k-kun." Naruto was still in shock thinking Did Hinata just snuggle into me?! No there must have been another explanation, like that breeze! Yea that must have been it! Hinata was thinking Oh Kami I just snuggled into Naruto-kun! Even if it was by mistake, and he didn't push me away! What should I do? Hinata looked up to see the restless blond sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face muttering, "No, no, you shouldn't do that Hinata-chan," giggling. Hinata Blushed at the sound of her name, What was I doing in Naruto-kuns dreams? Hinata thought about this before she finally got to sleep. Some where deep inside Hinata's head a deep, but feminine voice was laughing.
