Sasuke didn't notice her at first. He was too absorbed in his own movements, the swift snap of his arm as he released the kunai. Thunk. Thunk. Thunk. All of them hit dead center. That had been, what, his twenty-fifth throw? Sasuke paused to wipe sweat from his forehead and started towards the nearest bullseye to collect his shuriken. The kunai targets were higher and harder to get to. They could wait.

"Are you almost done?"

Tensing, Sasuke turned his head and glimpsed a shy figure at the edge of the clearing. She was the only one that could get past his guard like that, but it never failed to take him by surprise. Once recognition hit, he relaxed and turned to smirk at her. "Hinata. Spying on me again?"

She ducked her head to hide her flushed cheeks behind her hair. "Mikoto-san sent me. Dinner's almost ready."

It was early for that, though. His mother usually didn't start cooking until five. That probably meant they were having a formal meal. "Guests?"

"Shisui-sensei is joining us."

Sasuke frowned. It figured. He couldn't do anything without his father checking up on him. He was heir to the Uchiha estate, the undisputed genius of his generation, and a jounin, but even that wasn't enough. He'd met and surpassed every single one of his father's impossible standards, but Uchiha Fugaku would never be satisfied.

Sasuke would never match up to Itachi in his eyes.

Even in death, his memory lingered on, souring every one of Sasuke's accomplishments. The only satisfaction Sasuke had was that at least he hadn't quit. His brother had broken under the pressure, but Sasuke refused to. His will was stronger than that. No one would ever open the door to his room to find him impaled on his own katana.

"Sasuke." A gentle touch to his elbow and he was drawn out of that dark memory.

"It's okay. I'm okay." He said in his most reassuring voice.

Hinata smiled back, slipping an arm around his waist and leaning in to hug him. "You smell like smoke. Were you practicing your fire jutsus earlier?"

"Yeah." He took a moment to relish the contact before he realized something. "I'm getting you all sweaty."

"I don't mind."

Sasuke let the corners of his lips turn up at the way she rested her head against his chest. He'd taken off his shirt earlier and her hair was sliding softly over his skin. When he pressed a kiss to Hinata's head she leaned into him even more, her curves fitting nicely against him.

Of course, he was seventeen, so it was no surprise that the gesture had inspired certain thoughts. He caged her with his arms and nibbled at that spot on her collarbone that always made her gasp.

"D-don't. Sasuke! We promised."

He made an irritated sound in the back of his throat. "It was a stupid promise."

Hinata's eyes were half-closed as he kissed his way over her neck, her pulse fluttering wildly under his lips. "But you promised all the... all the same."

Sasuke had to chuckle. She was wavering, he could tell.

"I promised we wouldn't have sex in the house. I didn't say anything about outside of it."

He took the opportunity to push her back against a training log and hike one of her legs up against his hip. She let him. Hell, she even lifted her face for a kiss and tangled her fingers in the messy spikes of his hair when he obliged. I'm not the only who missed this. Sasuke thought smugly before Hinata slipped her tongue into his mouth and banished all other thoughts.

Sasuke focused on kissing her breathless while he unzipped her jacket. He was in the process of getting those stupid bandages off her chest when she came to her senses. "Mmm. We should stop. Sasuke. Sasuke!"

"What? I'm cutting these fucking things off by the way."

"Mmph!" More kissing and groping managed to quiet her enough that he could steal one of her kunai and free her breasts from their bindings.

"Much better." He tossed the kunai behind him and it thunked into a target. It hit the outermost ring, but oh well.

"We, we shouldn't..." Hinata's words dissolved into heartfelt moans as he nuzzled his face against her breasts and started mouthing at them. This was pretty much the greatest thing ever, but so far Sasuke had managed not to let on. He had a reputation to uphold.

Sasuke was the number one rookie of his class and the only guy in Konoha his age who was getting laid regularly. Was it any surprise he was a self-satisfied bastard?

Despite the fact she was clearly enjoying herself, it was obvious Hinata was having second thoughts. She rarely needed to be coaxed this much. Sometimes he could just look at her and she was in the mood. "Relax, Hinata. We're not doing anything wrong. We've been engaged since forever. Mom's just being overprotective. You know Father approves."

It was only natural, considering the circumstances. Sasuke's parents had spent all of their childhood trying to pair them up, pushing them at each other, and encouraging their close friendship. It had only been a matter of time until puberty hit and they started sneaking into one another's bed.

Granted, he probably shouldn't have gotten caught doing it, but it had earned him a very rare, "As expected of my son." Not that Mikoto had been pleased about that. Heh. Clearly, there was more to his father than he had previously realized.

Sasuke lifted his head and pressed a kiss against her cheek, letting things simmer for a minute while Hinata tried to make up her mind. It was hard to be patient when her fingers were trailing thoughtfully across his bare back, but he suffered through it.

"I feel bad about lying to Mikoto-san. I said we'd stop doing this."

"Che. She's just worried you'll get pregnant before we're ready. She shouldn't be. You're cleared to take missions." All kunoichi were required to take very strict precautions against pregnancy, sexually active or not. It was a preventative measure and Sasuke really didn't like thinking about the reasons behind that particular policy, but it made sense.

It also made things convenient.

He nudged his hips against hers and drew his tongue down the curve of her ear. "She doesn't have to know." Sasuke knew he'd used the right husky tone, because Hinata whimpered and pressed her hips back against him.

Uchiha Sasuke wins again.

Things got hot and heavy after that. Her jacket was thrown to the side and her pants followed swiftly after. By the time he had worked her panties off, they were both rough with impatience. It had been forever. Well, three weeks, but close enough.

Sasuke didn't even bother to do more than unzip his fly and pull himself out. Not when Hinata was making those urgent little kitten sounds in his ear. It was hard to tear himself away when there was so much pale skin to run his mouth over, but he managed when she tugged him closer and drew his head up for another scorching kiss.

He had to concentrate for a moment, so he could lift Hinata up a bit more and pin her with his body against the log. Then he was sliding inside her and it took everything Sasuke had to hold still, to clench his jaw against the need to thrust mindlessly.

"Hurry! Please, Sasuke." Oh god, that voice! Did she have to sound so breathless? It was ruining his control.

"Just a minute."

An tiny impatient huff and Hinata was curling a leg around him to pull him closer and okay, Sasuke was thoroughly convinced. It took no time at all for them to find a rhythm, which was only to be expected considering how much practice they had. Sex and sparring, it was all pretty much the same, but it meant that even before they had gotten this far they'd known how to move with and against each other in all the right ways.

It was always so easy to get lost in her. The sensations were so intense Sasuke could hardly bear it.

"Hinata. Hinata-chan, you feel so good." His voice was a rough whisper and it made her clench around him and gasp against his throat as he sped up. Perfect. She was perfect and beautiful and if anyone ever saw Sasuke this freaking happy it would ruin his reputation as a heartless jackass forever.

The mewling sounds she was making were going straight to his cock. Thank god she was close or he would have embarrassed himself. Soon enough Hinata was shuddering underneath him, her pale eyes warm and endless with love as she stared at him.

Sasuke muttered something into her mouth that might, just possibly, have been romantic drivel and then he was coming too, thrusting into her so hard she was probably getting splinters in her back. He'd check later. Once he could move again.

"Uhhhnn." Talking could wait too. He would rather not come across as a brain dead moron. No way was he going to let himself sound like Naruto.

Well, it wasn't like basking in afterglow was a chore with the way Hinata loved cuddling against him. He didn't mind really, not all that much. Especially not when he was still inside her and could still feel the aftershocks of orgasm still rippling through their bodies.

Hinata sighed, long and satisfied, and casually propped her arms on his shoulders so she could run her fingers through his hair and try and comb it into some semblance of order. It was a waste of time, as disheveled as he was, but it felt nice so he kept his mouth shut.

"We should leave soon." There, a complete sentence. He was awesome.

"Yeah. We'll have to shower too."

Sasuke pressed his face against her neck and let his tongue dart out to taste her skin. She tasted delicious and, even better, she smelled like him. Kiba was going to be so pissed. Stupid dog-boy didn't know when to back down. Hinata was clearly his. It had been that way since they were both nine years old and no mangy mutt could ever change that.

There was a very fancy scroll signed by Hyuuga Hiashi in his father's office to prove it.

Sasuke was distracted from his possessive thoughts when Hinata squirmed against him.

"Am I too heavy? Getting splinters?" He eased some of his weight off of her and caught her with his thigh when she started to slide down the log a little.

"No, you were fine. We should get going soon though."

"Yeah. I need to pick up my weapons." That in no way discouraged Sasuke from nipping at her ear. "How about another round first? If we're going to be late we might as well make it worth it."

Hinata giggled, causing her breasts to bounce in a manner that immediately caught his attention. "You're going to get us in trouble! Even if Mikoto-san doesn't figure it out, Shisui-sensei will."

"Let him. Shisui knows better than to run his mouth."

Sasuke swooped in for another kiss before she could reply. He brushed a hand lightly underneath one of her breasts and then thumbed her nipple gently. It earned him a gasp and a tight grip on his biceps. Yeah, first more sex and then they'd go home to have a nice hot bath and eat dinner. Not a bad way to end the day, as far as Sasuke was concerned.

He was just about to get more serious about the sex part when the sound of a bush rustling behind them sent his head rearing back. Sasuke narrowed his eyes and glared nastily at the moving greenery.

If Naruto was spying on him again there would be hell to pay!

"Byakugan!" Hinata said swiftly, the veins rising near her eyes as she stared into the distance. "There's someone out there watching us!"

It took three seconds flat for Sasuke to tuck himself away and fix his pants. Even doing that, he managed to radiate killing intent. Hinata was moving frantically behind him in an attempt to locate her clothes. She was obviously mortified and it only fueled his rage.

"You're DEAD! Do you hear me, Naruto?!"

It wasn't Naruto. It was someone worse.

The bush quivered before it exploded with purple smoke. A tall figure jumped out in a flash of glaring red and white, a huge grin plastered across his super-perverted face.

"HA! It's nice to see not everyone in Konoha is a prude! I'd definitely give your performance a solid 7 out of 10. You get points off though, because Mr. Angry-Face here is crap at foreplay."

"WHAT?? I am not!" Sasuke shouted, bristling like a rabid porcupine.

"Hey, hey, take it easy! I don't mean any harm. Besides, you should be proud to have inspired me! This is perfect material for my next book!"

Jiraiya took the opportunity to leer at Hinata, who was attempting to zip up her jacket as fast as humanly possible. "Don't bother getting dressed on my account! You're definitely easy on the eyes. Hehehe. I'm not usually into jailbait, but I'd make an exception for you, babe!"

Oh, that was IT! Sasuke was not going to put up with this! A familiar chirping sound filled the clearing and his vision went red. His Sharingan eyes swirled with rage as he lunged towards the peeping tom in a dead run, chakra crackling down his arm.

"CHIDORI!" He missed by an inch.

"Hey! Careful with that thing, boy. You could hurt yourself."

Yeah, right! Sasuke was going to shove this Chidori somewhere very painful, Legendary Sannin or not!

That was easier said than done, though. Each swipe was closer than the last, but the toad hermit managed to evade it with some impossibly ridiculous pose each time. Among them was a back bend, some sort of ballet pose, and even a painful looking split.

It was so frustrating! How the hell did he keep hopping out of the way?

"HAHAHA! You'll never manage to touch me, the Great and Powerful Toad Hermit of - ERK!" A sheaf of white hair floated towards the ground as the Chidori just missed Jiraiya's nose. "You little prick! What do you think you're doing, waving an assassination technique around like that?!"

"Guess." The words came out as a growl.

"Right. That's my cue! I've gathered more than enough information for now. You kids have fun! Mwah!" Jiraiya sent a big juicy kiss flying Hinata's way before he turned to flee.

That opening was just what Sasuke had been waiting for. A backhanded swing of the Chidori finally made it through the toad hermit's guard. Despite his claims, he didn't want to actually kill the old man, so he turned his hand at the last second to catch the huge scroll case on Jiraiya's back.

It only took him a moment to realize that had been a very bad idea as chakra erupted around him in a huge billowing explosion of light.

The force of it sent Sasuke flying back into Hinata and, shortly after that, into unconsciousness.
