Chapter 2

Her Enchanting Spell

Sasukes voice came from below. Naruto had said stay there; he didn't say anything about yelling. So he took full advantage of it. He only hoped that Naruto was in a situation were he needed to go unnoticed. His hopes were somewhat confirmed by a startled yelp from the rooftop. Sasuke smirked. Now if Naruto would only get hurt. Do not get him wrong, he did not want anything serious to happen to him. Only something that would put out of commission for a while.

Naruto let out a quick yelp once Sasake's annoying voice pulled him back to Earth. He pulled back from Hinata. What was he doing? He just got back to Konoha after two year, for not even an hour and he was about to!… To what? What was he about to do?

He looked down at realized that his hands were still on her hips. He instantly let go and stumbled backwards a few steps. A blush now graced his cheeks.

Hinata had heard someone call for Naruto, but it didn't resisters. This new burning feeling blocked it out. She felt like nothing was going to break her free from its growing vice like grip. Naruto's yelp and his missing warmth is what did. She blinked a few times, trying to clear her clouded mind.

Once she was able to think straight, a few seconds later, she took in the sight before her. He was taller now; his hair was bit longer. He no longer wore the bright orange colors that screamed 'HERE I AM, KILL ME!' but much darker colors. He had a black trench coat on that was open to revel a dark orange skintight shirt on underneath. Her eyes drifted lower to his black loose pants and to his feet clad in black ninja boots. She forced her to look away, or at least that is what she had in mind. Her eyes, not listening to her, had made a slow trip up his pants, and were staying a little bit longer that she wanted on his shirt, which was, to her luck and the new blush coming on, soaking wet. She could see every muscle on his chest that he had built over that last two years. There was only one way she could describe him; he was a man. Oh, how she hoped that he didn't think she was a psychopath for staring at him for what seemed to be an eternity.

When Naruto had felt his face heat up with a blush he didn't know what to do. Should he apologize? What would he say? He refocused his attention back on Hinata, his breath caught in his throat. Her face was beautiful. She still held the innocents he had gotten to know years ago but know there was some thing else. Where he had once seen the cute face of girl, was now gorgeous face of a young woman. Her face was soft and pale, framed by her dark locks. She held an unearthly, ghostly beauty that was enchanting. And unknowingly, he was falling under her spell.

He looked to her eyes to find that her lavender orbs were down cast, looking at the ground-

Hold on, her eyes weren't looking at the ground! She was look at him! He watched her eyes make the journey up his body at snails pace. Lingering on his chest for a while then meeting his clear blue eyes. She was checking him out! He just had smirk at her deep blush. The confused look in her eyes made him stop. She was looking in his eyes so she must have noticed the difference. Should he tell her about Kyuubi? No, not yet at least.

"Why not Kit? Ashamed of me?" Kyuubi said in a slight mocking tone.

"Hell yes!"

"Awww, I'm hurt Kit." Kyuubi had to be smirking.

"Shut up! What the hell do you want any way?" Naruto now turned his entire attention to the spat in his mind.

"Now how am I supposed to tell you what I want if I shut up? Really Kit you never make any sense."

"You know what I mean!"

"I wanted to get your attention off of Vixen. Looks like it worked." There was no trace of the earlier sarcasm in Kyuubi's voice.

He was right, the emotion from earlier was still there but was being repressed by his rage at Kyuubi.

Hinata, who had been watching Naruto, had seen anger come out of no where. She at first wanted to take a few steps back, she quickly banished that thought. She was not that same shy little girl any more. Yes, she was still quite and barely talked, but that was of her on choice. She now held the inter strength that she always wanted. Two or five years ago she would never do what she was about to do today; go behind her fathers back, and go to the Hokage. She knew talking to her father was futile, and he had to much influence for the hospital to let her help out again. Her father has no right to say what she could do, she is already seventeen.

She now realized that this had a lot to do with her pride. She never before let her pride get in the way, no ninja should. But some how it had work its way in, and she was going to let it stay.

She took a couple steps forward and bravely rested her hand on his shoulder.

" N-naruto-k-kun, a-are you a-all right?" Over the last two years she had lost her stutter, but it seems it now came back with a vengeance. Damn it! Why was it, whenever it came to Naruto she was so weak!

Naruto looked at her for a moment before replying "Yeah, I'm fine. How have you been Hinata-chan?"

Hinata-chan, did he just use the suffix chan! Her head swam.

Naruto had the feeling ending her name with chan would buy him a minute to have a quick Q&A session with Kyuubi. He was right; she seemed a bit to shock to answer.

"Kyuubi! Why in the world did you just call her 'Vixen', and didn't you want my attention on her when you told me to sniff?"

"Yes, I wanted you to finally see (see, sniff it's all the same) her desire for you, I didn't expect your thoughts to get so dirty. You might want to think clean thoughts for a while Kit. I called her 'Vixen' because she is your chosen half."

"What do you mean finally? That smell was desire? MY THOUGHTS WERE NOT DIRTY! And she is anything but a 'Vixen'!" Naruto growled.

"Kit there is more to this than you realize… That smell could be called by lots of names, desire, lust, passion and so on. And with your sense of smell getting stronger, you will be noticing it a lot more, especially when mating season comes around."

Naruto started to panic. If he reacted that way every time he smelt that… then he would have to lock himself up when mating season started, whenever it was.

"Calm down, you will only react that way if you feel the same way, and if you want her as your mate. So in other words you want Vixen to be your mate. Oh, I should tell you, demons mate for life. So, once you mark her, she will be yours, and you will be hers, forever." Kyuubi stated.

Hinata had regained enough of herself to address Naruto, only trembling slightly." I-I-I've been fine. B-but when did you g-get back?"

Naruto pushed what Kyuubi said to the back of his mind; he'll deal with that later. Right how he needed to say bye to Hinata, even if he didn't want to. Go and find Baa-chan, and face her wrath… He could imagine his bloody corpse right now.

"I just got back. I was going to see the Hokage, and then I ran into you! It's great to see you Hinata-chan!"

His voice had gotten deeper, she noted.

"It's g-great to see y-you to Naruto-kun." She paused and took a breath "I-I was l-looking for the H-Hokage too. B-but she wasn't in her office, and I kinda spaced out w-while l-looking for her."

Her voice was as soft as ever, he noted.

Then that not-so-soft annoying voice interrupted his thoughts, again.

"Hell Naruto! Are you dead up there! Get your ass down here now! You're wasting time!"

Hinata was now trying to figure out who could be yelling at Naruto. So absorbed by that task she didn't notice Naruto take her hand off his shoulder and into his own. Only when she was being pulled along did she realize something was up. She looked at their hands; their fingers were intertwined. She blushed at this but didn't have time to dwell on it. The short walk over to the edge was over, and something she thought would only happen in her dreams was happening. He picked her up bridle style. Of course the small part of her brain that wasn't singing in joy, wonder how strong did he get. He held her like she was as light as a feather, not 690 pounds. (130-her, 560-weights)

Then he jumped off the roof. (Who didn't know that was coming?)

She didn't even flinch. Naruto, for some reason, felt a bit proud of her. Knowing that the old Hinata would have been freaked out by that or even would have passed out. It was good to know she was a little braver.

When Naruto put her down, she found she missed the warmth of his arms. She turned to face a young man, around Naruto's age and height. She gasped; there were only two people who could look like that. And by his age he could be only one person-

"Sasuke, you baka, did you have to yell? Bet half the damn village is up now!"

"I wouldn't have had to yell if you didn't take your sweet time." Sasuke said while eyeing her.

"Wow, I was up there for a whole five minutes. I surprise you didn't die of old age" Naruto grumbled.

Hinata was still shocked. And the way they argued… it was like brothers.

Wasn't this Uchiha Sasuke? The one who a few years ago nearly killed Naruto, and left Konoha to try and kill his brother? What the hell was all that ran thought her mind.

Well maybe something happen; since she didn't know the details or him for that matter. Should she have some type of disdain for him? It seemed that Naruto did not hold any type of grudge. So why should she? It's not like he ever crossed her.

She trusted Naruto's judgment.

"Hello Sasuke-kun. It's good to see your back home safe." 'And hopeful sound' she mentally added. She gave a small bow.

When her gaze fell on then them, they were both looking at her.

The blonde one; happily and in mild shock.

The raven haired one; in total shock and disbelief.

'Oh no... Did I do something wrong? I just said hi.' She mentally sighed.


A/N: Hey sorry this is so short. My grandma died. So I've been a bit off lately. I'm not going to say went the next chapter will be up. I know there is mistakes. After I read my first chapter on the Internet, I was wondering how I missed it. I guess I should fix it. Thank you to all the people who read my little story.
