Still Re-upping
Onto the Story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any part of Naruto, if i did he would be with Hinata in almost every episode. :)
Naruto felt a body adjacent to his. For some reason there was a warm body in front of him. He couldn't remember where he slept last night. Who would be lying in front of him? He ran through the various scenarios in his head
Kiba? No if Kiba was laying in front of him he would smell dog. Naruto had nothing against him, but he smelled like dog most of the time. Sometimes he suspected he bathed with Akamaru.
Akamaru? If Akamaru was next to him he wouldn't be so big.
Shino? Ughhh. Naruto shuddered at that thought. The day he would wake up to Shino's emotionless eyes was probably the day he'd run away from Konoha and never come back.
Hinata? Something inside his head clicked. What had he done that involved Hinata last night? There was something he had seen her do. What was it? The only word that tumbled around in his head when he thought of her was 'beautiful'.
He slowly opened his eyes to confirm it was indeed Hinata. She lay curled up in a cute little ball against his chest, and for some reason his arm was around her waist, almost in a comforting gesture. He looked down at her and remembered why he thought of the word 'beautiful' when she came to mind. It was because she was exactly that. He had never really taken the time to look at Hinata as anything other than a comrade, but after what had happened at the waterfall last night...
"That's what it was!" he whispered loudly.
This caused Kiba to shift angrily in his covers, Akamaru to yip softly, Shino to, well stay the same, and Hinata to put her left arm around his neck. He has to stifle a gasp when he felt her gently tug his hair and then run her fingers through it.
"Mmmm Naruto-kun," she whispered
Naruto held his breath until she became silent again. She was dreaming about him? He didn't know why but the fact that she had him on her mind made his chest swell something akin to happiness. He had never pursued any women in the village, other than Sakura who had repeatedly rejected him, so it was nice to be dreamed about by a girl. An innocent girl who didn't throw extremely strong punches. Naruto was brought out of his thoughts by a hand grabbing onto a not so public place on his body.
"Mmmm Naruto-kun. So big."
He froze. Hinata wasn't the type to do this. She wasn't a girl that went around grabbing...those things...out of nowhere. Maybe other provocative women, but certainly not Hinata. He grunted as Hinata squeezed harder. It was becoming increasingly difficult to stay quiet. Her hand kept moving slightly, almost in teasing motions. He had to resist the urge to growl.
"Naruto, what are you doing in Hinata's sleeping bag?"
'Damn you Kami!'
"Uh, you kinda slept in ...rrr-" Hinata squeezed again.
"What was that?" Kiba asked.
"You were...ah...in mine and she...ugh...said I could...ooh...sleep with her."
"Okay...well we have to go leave to find that bug soon so get up."
The blonde looked over her shoulder at the Imuzuka. "Can't right now. I'm uh...stuck."
"Stuck?" Kiba took time to process this "You bastard! You better not have-"
"No! The bag is just a little...ugh...small. I'll be able to get out when she wakes up."
"How about I help?" Kiba said rising.
"NO! I mean, I'll do it by myself. You'll just get in the way"
The Inuzuka took a step forward. "Get in the way? I don't give a damn if I have to gatsuuga that bag to pieces. You're coming out of it."
Kiba started walking over to the bag, which wasn't very far considering they were all sharing a tent. He was so busy trying not to wake Shino that he accidentally stepped on Akamaru's paw and made him emit a loud yelp. Fortunately this yelp was enough to deter him and wake Hinata at the same time.
The heiress sleepily opened her eyes. "N-Naruto-kun? W-Why a-are w-we s-so c-close, a-and w-why am I h-holding a f-flashlight?"
Naruto averted his eyes. "That's uh...not a flashlight Hinata."
Hinata looked down and saw he was right, this was no flashlight. She also moved her other hand and found it at the back of his head. Her hand moved again, making sure it was actually her hand that was on his pants. She looked up at him, redder than he had ever seen her before, and fainted on the spot. Her head hit the ground with a loud 'thump' and she was out.
'DAMN YOU KAMI!' Naruto shouted for the second time in his head.
Kiba had apologized to Akamaru and was making his way over to Naruto. This was going to be hell. Not only was he in Hinata's sleeping bag, but she also still had a firm hold on him while her other hand had slipped onto his lower back. Kiba would definitely kill him for this, if not Kiba then the entire female kunoichi populous that managed to hear about it. He would be pegged as a pervert for life; well what remained of his life after everyone got wind of this.
"Kiba, I'm sure Naruto knows how to leave his sleeping bag. Why don't you go refill our canteens by that waterfall we saw yesterday?" Shino stated, surprising everyone.
Kiba groaned and went to pick up the canteens. During his trek to pick them up he glared at Shino not so subtlety. He left soon after, Akamaru trailing behind him. Shino got up moments later and was about to exit the tent when Naruto spoke up.
"Thanks Shino."
Shino turned to look at him; it sent chills down Naruto's spine. "Anything to see a team stays together Naruto. We are on a mission, so I would appreciate it if you and Hinata kept your time together to a minimum. Also, I need to talk to you about this later, but before I go..." Shino raised his hand and a bug flew out of Hinata's sleeping bag
"I will let you know that if you hurt Hinata in any way, I will make sure the next thing my insects attack will be you. I know we are comrades, but that doesn't change the fact I protect my teammates. You hurt her feelings, I break your bones. Clear?"
Naruto nodded his head. He couldn't do much else in his situation. If he had said Hinata and him weren't involved, Shino would have brought up the waterfall, which was as incriminating as the position he was in now. The Aburame genin left the tent afterward, zipping it as far down as he could from the outside.
"Hinata! Wake up!"
She didn't move. Naruto nudged her but she still didn't budge. It took another two minutes of prodding until she finally roused from her sleep.
"N-Naruto-kun? W-Why are w-we s-so c-close a-and w-why a-am I h-holding-"
Naruto silenced her with a finger to her lips. She blushed heavily. "Hinata, please do me a favor and let go of the flashlight."
She complied and released her grip. Naruto sighed heavily. It was good to get some blood pumping down there again. Her death grip had cut off all his circulation.
"Now put your hands back on your sides," he directed her.
She looked at him curiously but moved her hands. The first she noticed was at his back. The other was well, down where other Naruto resided. She 'eeped' when she realized where her right hand had been resting. Her head fell slowly on another collision course with the ground but a hand stopped it by resting on her cheek.
"Hinata! I need you to stay with me."
She shook her head and tried to wake up. The fact that she had been holding him...down there...was enough to make her stay out for an entire day. She would never be able to look at him again without feeling some level of embarrassment. Had she been the one to grab him, or had he put her hand there? No, Naruto-kun wasn't the type to do that and he probably wouldn't have told her to let go if he was. She had been dreaming of him, a dream she would never tell anyone, so she had probably grabbed him in her sleep.
"G-Gomen N-N-Naruto-kun, I-I-I d-d-didn't k-k-know."
The blonde sighed. "It's alright Hinata. I-I guess were even now after what happened last night."
They both looked at each other and flushed red.
Hinata looked around. They were the only people in the tent. "W-We s-should g-get u-p before S-Shino-kun and K-Kiba-kun get back."
They struggled at first but were eventually successful in removing themselves from the bag. Naruto stood up somewhat awkwardly but managed to get on his feet. Hinata did the same. They were facing each other, until Hinata fainted again. He looked down and remembered it was morning, thus he was standing at attention. It didn't help any that Hinata had squeezed him earlier.
This is how Kiba and Shino found him when they walked in only seconds later, Naruto standing only inches away from a fainted Hinata, pants outstretched. He looked over with shocked eyes while Kiba did the same to him. Shino was impassive behind his glasses but the tension in the air noticeably deepened when he looked at Naruto.
"Uh, good morning?"
Yes i know, not what you were hoping for but as i said before, filler!
Anyway the next chapter will be on the return to konoha and more Hina/Naru fluff because I like it that way. Up in about a week.
REVIEW! CRITIQUE!
