Love Can Be So Problematic
Chapter 2
"I know you're not sleeping Sakura." She felt her heart skip at the all too familiar voice that rang in hear ears. Even though he called her bluff she was hoping that if she just lay there still that maybe he would think that he was wrong and go somewhere far away from her. She heard a soft chuckle and then felt his breath meet her ear which made her shiver. He whispers in her ear, "Sa-Ku-Ra?" the way he spoke it so sensually made her jump out of her skin and sent a shiver rolling up and down her spine. Her eyes darted open at instinct. He couldn't hold back a small smirk that made its way onto his smug face. With speed she sprung up like a daisy turning to face Sasuke as her back met the cold wall she felt a sharp pain run across her middle back with Sasuke in front of her on the side of the bed. Looking around her she realized she was cornered by the Uchiha. 'why didn't he just kill me.' She thought to herself.
Taking notice that compared to a few seconds ago when she was tucked in under thick blankets she now felt Goosebumps meet her skin from the freezing air. Sasuke stood up with his back strait and threw a plastic bag with some sort of cloth inside. "It's forty-three degrees outside and it not much warmer in here, you might want to cover up before you catch a cold." His eyes almost unnoticeably dropped slightly below her neck briefly and shot his eyes back up to look her in the eyes. She turned her head to the side ever so slightly trying to understand his sudden action. Her eyes got wide as a thought came to her. She quickly looked down at herself and gasped as she realized that Uchiha just stared and her naked form, she gasped upon this realization and pulled the sheets up quickly to shield herself from his prying eyes. Chuckling at her reaction knowing what would come next, "Why am I naked!" she screamed at him. "Because, I undressed you." He spoke those words like it was the most logical thing to do to her. "Pervert!" he heard her scream as he was walking away from her towards the door, "When you're done dressing yourself walk out of the room make a left and walk until your next right and travel down the stairs, there you will find breakfast. The bathroom is across the hall." As he shut the door behind him she yelled, "ASS HOLE!"
'he must have gone through my pack, these are my extra clothes' Sakura stood up and walked over to a stand up mirror she noticed on the back of a door different from the one the Uchiha left through. She saw part of the cut on her mid back and the deep gashes on her upper leg and forearms she had minor scrapes and bruises covering all of the body and her fist were bloody and hurt. 'I'll heal myself later I feel drained of chakra.' Growing curious about what the door behind the mirror held within it she decided to open it.
She saw things in that closet that would never leave her mind some things she wasn't even sure what they were for or how they worked, as she picked up the an oddly shaped clear yet deep purple cylinder that felt like it was made from some sort of rubber or plastic, the object in her hand she noted was about 6 inches in length and 2, maybe 3 inches in width. Sakura noticed a rod on the inside stretched between both oddly shaped ends, and as she flipped the item around to what she assumed was the base it started to shake in her hand. Surprised by the sudden strong vibrations she realized it must have been a dildo and dropped it like it was a hot iron; Sakura had heard of these things from Ino but was never really interested until now. Sakura stared at the flopping dildo not sure what she should do about it, nevertheless she felt a compelling need to put it back where she found it. "What the hell? How do I turn this thing off!?" she heard footsteps getting closer to the room and quickly shoved the object back in the closet. 'Who's room is this!?'
Sasuke knocked on the door before walking in, "What's taking you so long?" while not completely lying, "I was making sure that none of my wounds were infected." He nodded accepting her explanation and waited for her to walk over to the door, guiding her down the halls while she was unfocussed recalling all the bizarre looking items.
As she walked down the stairs she heard sounds of running water no doubt that the sound came from a sink. She squinted her eyes when she saw bright florescent lights shining in her eyes and moved directly behind Sasuke in hopes his much taller frame would shield her from the lights that made her head throb. Sakura almost bumped into Sasuke when he stopped at the bottom of the steps clearly observing something. She realized what he was waiting for when she saw a tall lanky man with white hair duck quickly as a plate or two along with the food on it was thrown across the room and shatter against the stone walls behind the unknown man. It was at that moment Sasuke simply crossed his legs slightly along with his arms folded crosswise against his chest while leaning up against he left frame of the doorway. Sakura peered around Sasuke's right shoulder waiting for something to happen, in a matter of seconds the same unknown man finally looking in the direction the flying food had come from. "Now, now Karin just wait one minute, calm down." the man's voice spoke shakily. "Calm Down!? I AM Calm!" a woman's high pitched voice yelled. A petite woman with beautiful long and thin red hair, that couldn't have been much bigger than herself walked over towards the shrinking man with a frying pan still sizzling hot, that Sakura assumed was from resent cooking the she could smell in the air. Sakura turned her head towards Sasuke as she heard him laugh or so she thought, Uchiha's never laugh "Did you finally tell her Suigetsu?" he spoke with an amused tone.
Suigetsu jumped, hanging upside down from the ceiling in an attempt to avoid the angry woman swinging the frying pan at him, but failed as his feet touched the ceiling Karin smacked the fish boy in the face! There was another person, a man Sakura hadn't noticed in the kitchen until he spoke, "Good morning Sasuke-sama, and to answer your question no he didn't, I did." Sasuke laughed as Suigetsu fell from the ceiling so ungracefully for a ninja and watched as Suigetsu rolled around on the dining room floor grabbing his face, Karin finally spoke, "I would castrate you but even I'm not so cruel as to take away your only asset!" she spoke in a hateful manor as she walked towards a part of the kitchen Sakura couldn't see because Sasuke was in the way of her view. Sakura thinking 'I'm not sure if I really wanna know but then again I am a little curious…' Sasuke moves from his position on the door frame and takes a seat across from the bulky orange haired man while she just stays standing on the bottom of the stairs. Suddenly the redhead stood in front of her. "Hi I'm Karin!" She took Sakura's hand and shook it almost violently, "Why don't you come sit down and eat I made breakfast and you sure do look like you could use the calories!" She stated happily with an unexpected smile on her face. Sakura replies with a nod and a thank you, "You can have his seat!" pointing to the white haired boy still lying on the floor. Sakura taking her seat just staring at her food not really wanting to eat it thinks, 'mood swings… or what?'
XxxxxxOxxxxxX
Sasuke was almost finished with his well-proportioned meal, prepared by Karin as he just watches how Sakura neglects herself by not even moving to touch her food. Her eyes almost seem empty just like when he was battling her not all too long ago. Sasuke thinking to himself, 'it's literally been two day since she's eaten to my knowledge and on top of that who knows how long Sakura and that Idiot were looking for me. Sure they had food but not any actual meal, I know she's hungry.' Sakura beginning to feel eye's on her, she looked up from her cold food to meet onyx with her own emerald spheres. "What is it?" she said hating this morning more than any other. Sasuke raised his brow still debating if he should grace her question with an answer. "Well are you going to eat or just stare at it until it rots?" Not liking his smart ass manner, "I haven't decided yet." relaying her answer while mocking his tone. Sasuke still feeling intrigued by the different Sakura before him could almost bring himself to like her new attitude towards him, almost he was Uchiha Sasuke after all he doesn't like anything. "Stop being so stubborn and eat you annoying girl." Sakura trying to bite back her tongue, 'I really, hate that word…'
In a fit of defiance towards the Uchiha's command Sakura tore her gaze away from Sasuke and pushed her plate of untouched food towards him not saying a word. As silence filled the room Karin stood up to put hers and Jugo's empty plates and glass' in the sink and proceeded to gently pick up Suigetsu and walked up the stairs. Sasuke glared at Sakura, 'No one ever go's against my orders!' Jugo looked up from his book feeling the growing tautness in the room. "I'll be in the study if you need me, Sasuke-sama." Jugo took his time going up the stairs not feeling any need to rush.
Sakura growing tired of feeling Sasuke stare at her stood up moving her chair with a slow screech. As she moved to walk away from the table Sasuke's eyes narrowed, "Sit back down." He spoke as calmly as he could while interlacing his fingers bringing them up to his mouth and his elbows on the table. "Make ME!" she screamed at him anger clear as day in her voice. Sasuke stood up from the table, "Have it your way." He said while walking towards the heated kunoichi. "Get away, Don't Touch Me!" she backed away as he got closer until her back hit the wall and he towered over her small frame. He stopped for a moment as if intending to listen to her command. He surprised Sakura as he gently yet firmly grasped both of her forearms and dragged her back over to her seat placing both of his strong, big hands on her shoulders pushing her down in her seat. "Eat or you'll starve." He spoke with a harsh tone that said listen and do what I tell you or else.
'He acts as if he cares about my wellbeing.' "Stop torturing me and just kill me already. I don't want to play any of your sick games." Sasuke just kept the same annoyed yet angry face, 'Why does she want to die so badly?' "No, I am not going to give you what you want, I'm not going to kill you." Angered by how Sasuke seems to be toying with her, "Why else would you bring me here if not to kill me! You are a cold conceited bastard who has no comprehensions for any persons sensations but your own, you pity no one especially not an Annoying Girl! So do it end me or release me! Because I wi-" Sakura's rant was ended when she tasted food in her mouth and a fork between her teeth, Sasuke had had enough of her little outburst and took the opportunity to forcibly shove nutrition between those pretty pink lips of hers. Sakura's eyes grew wide as she swallowed the food unwilling but couldn't help feeling grateful for the cold yet great tasting food. She stared at the food practically drooling.
"What you said, while it may be true, I will not kill or torture you. But I sure as hell am not going to let you go just so that you can try and assassinate me again." She just looked at Sasuke as her stomach made audible noises, proof of her hunger. "finish eating so that you finally will have enough chakra to heal your wounds. Also you'll probably be wanting to take a shower, Karin should have girl… stuff if you need anything like that or a change of clothes for sleep wear." Sakura quickly inhaled her food, "Why are you acting so… well like a-"she was cut off once more, "Like what Sakura, a human? Even when we were kids, though I was and still am a proud I try my very hardest to be somewhat civil in my own way." Sakura helped Sasuke with cleaning the dishes, and he silently enjoyed how mature she has grown, in more than one way. 'I wonder how much she really hates me?'
Sakura followed Sasuke up the stairs and into the hall, "To get to Karin's room you're going to go literally right down this hall and on your left you'll find more stairs, go up and make a left and her room is all the way down the end of the hall to your right." Sakura made a mental map in her head and nodded in response, turning on her heal to follow Sasuke's instructions. Sauke going towards the bathroom across from his bedroom turned his head to yell at Sakura, "I'll be taking a quick shower." She just put her hand up waving without turning to look at the Uchiha or speak signaling that she heard him, and with that her walked into the bathroom hoping she wouldn't try anything stupid like escape.
As Sakura was walking towards Karin's bedroom she heard small grunts and groans along with a few screams. She wondered if maybe someone was hurt and she picked up her step and knocked on her door loudly, "Hello, is everything alright in there?" as the sounds of pain continued without hearing a reply she was about to rudely walk in just to be sure no one was dying. "We're fine!" Sakura heard an fuming voice of a woman as well as a muffled voice she couldn't make out the words though she knew it was a different person. "Are you sure it sounds like someone is hurt…" Sakura listened as she heard a small chortle just before the door opened. The red headed lady opened the door with nothing but panties on her nude body. "well he's hurting but he enjoys it almost, don't worry about it." she opened the door completely and the sight almost caused Sakura to faint as she felt her cheeks heat up with shear mortification. Sakura had seen all there was to both male and female body's, she was the Leafs top medical personal after all, but she had never seen something as cruel ass this. Sakura tried not to stutter too much, just wanting to get what she needed and leave as soon as possible. "I –uh, um… you see I don't really have… w-well I don't actually have anything to take a shower with or… a-um sleep o-or-or-" Karin cut her off with a heavy sigh and pulled the pink haired girl inside her room and shut the door. Sakura looked like a deer in the headlights as she stood there frozen with wide eyes, she couldn't help but stare at the white haired man; hands tied to the headboard of the queen-sized mattress with a gag in his mouth stifling his screams and other strange noises. Sakura felt her eyes travel down to the boy's chest and then his genitals as she saw a pink jellybean shaped capsules taped on both of his very erect nipples and his quivering member, said capsules made the same vibrating noses as the object Sakura held in her hand earlier that morning.
'What is he… why is she… oh my, and is that lube on the table next to the bed? Is this sex, they're having sex! She said she wanted to cut off his balls earlier this morning and now she's having sex with him!?' Sakura was broke out of her train of thought as Karin tried to hand something to her, "Here is two sets of pajamas, tooth brush and paste, blow-dryer, brush, shampoo along with conditioner, body soap, deodorant, and tampons just in case you need them. These were all the things I had extra so you can keep the so unless there's anything else you need scram, as you can see at the moment I'm just a little busy." Sakura nodded franticly, desperate to get out of there. "Oh and don't look to shocked honey, it's only hate sex people do it all the time!" Karin spoke with such enthusiasm. "Oh okay! Right! Thank you so much!" Sakura smiled not wanting to offend the red head, and left in hurry. Karin walked over to Suigetsu and un-gaged him, "For a kunoichi she sure was skittish don't you think Sui-kun?" finally catching his breath, "She's one of the lucky few I guess with her strength I doubt any ninja has laid a finger on her let alone a man." Karin looked almost amazed by the comment although not really surprised she did give Sasuke a run for his money in fight after all. "Interesting the little pink-et is a virgin… and I thought maybe she was just a little shy." She said with an amused voice.
XxxxxxOxxxxxX
Sakura ran down the halls, her face as red as a tomato she speedily made her way to the room she awoke in, opened the door to the bedroom and shut it as she leaned back against it and slid down with her eyes closed pulling her knees up to hide her face while clutching the bulk of items Karin handed to her.
Sasuke just stared at his former teammate because clearly there was something wrong with her, she didn't even have the decency to knock, and he was buck ass naked after just getting out of the shower. Not wanting to alarm her with his current state he tried to quietly walk over to the bed where he sprawled out his clothes but the creaky floor boards gave away his presence.
Sakura shot her head up and saw Sasuke naked in front her. She was shocked to see him standing there not expecting him to be in what she assumed was her room, "What in the hell is wrong with you people!?" Sasuke thinking to himself, 'whelp shit too late now, maybe this isn't a bad thing she might hate me less now that she's seen me naked after all I am an Uchiha. No one can resist, it runs in the family. Wait a minute, us people?' he just walked over to the bed grabbing his sweat pants and boxer-briefs pulling them on leaving them dangerously low on his hips, "What do you mean what happened?" he tried to get his question completely out before she huffed in anger and slammed the door muttering all kinds of curse words as she stomped across the hall before he heard yet another slam of what Sasuke assumed was the bathroom door.
Not even bothering to look for a clean shirt he walked out into the hall and over to the bathroom when heard a frustrated scream that almost sounded painful. As he knocked on the bathroom door, "Sakura are you alright in there?" he was meet with a hiss of pain, "I'm fine!" she shouted sounding irritated. 'this is why I find women annoying they're either tot stubborn or headstrong, that or they are way too needy.' Sasuke sighed, "You've been in there for over an hour and the shower stopped running 15 minutes after you got in there, so what's wrong?" Sakura getting irritated while in pain, 'why doesn't he just leave me alone!' "I said I'm fine Sasuke, now go away!" suddenly the door to the bathroom swung open unexcitingly, making Sakura jump and immediately stopped her failing attempts to treat her own back, to quickly cover her chest. "GET OUT! I'm Naked!" she screamed so loud he was momentarily dazed as his eardrums felt ruptured. "Are you deaf, out, Out, OUT!" She screamed once more. Covering his ears for some form of protection against the pink haired ban chi, "I might be if you keep wailing in my ears."
As she moved to shove him back out the door, Sasuke gripped her wrist and saw the nasty wound on her lower back in the mirror behind her, stunned by how deep it in fact actually was also saw her unsuccessful efforts of patching it up herself the proof being the bloody paper towels and bandages on the floors. He turned Sakura around making her face the mirror. She gasped as he pushed her down making her bend over the counter as he held her in that position trying to get a better look at her mid back. Sasuke let his free hand glide over her wound barley touching it, yet the little action caused her to cringe and jeer in pain. "That hurts." She whispered as she looked into the mirror before her trying to catch a glimpse of Sasuke's face wanting to see his reaction. He stared into her pleading eyes that reflected in the mirror, "Stay still" she looked over to the side as he opened a drawer beside the sink and took out gauze, peroxide, and some medical pads. Sakura winced and griped the sink for dear life as Sasuke poured the peroxide on the deep cut that covered almost all of her mid back. He dabbed it with a wet rag and covered the wound with some kind of swabs or pads. Sakura shivered as his warm breath met the back of her exposed neck and slowly reached around her abdomen with the role of gauze and rolled it covering her stomach and back three times.
Sakura carefully started to bend down to grab her night shirt but Sasuke got to it before she could bend even halfway over. "Lift your hands above your head." He spoke with a voice that sounded as if he felt concerned, and she complied willingly. He put her arms and head through the shirt easily, and started picking up the mess she made while trying to heal her back and other limbs, "Does it hurt?" not wanting to warm up to his sudden care for her she snickered, "you are the one that inflicted it on me, I'm not sure why you're so surprised." Sasuke finished picking everything up and whipped down the bathroom counter, hating when things weren't clean or put in their proper place. "you were trying to kill me, I had no choice." He turned off the light and waited for her to walk out closing the door behind them; she spoke, "True." while trying to close the door to her room. He caught the door before I t closed on him. "This is my room." He spoke almost like it was a question and walked though closing it behind him.
"Oh um-okay I just assumed that since I woke up in here this morning that it was my room." Walking back towards the door to find another room her path was blocked as Sasuke stayed standing in front of the door. "It is your room." He spoke with laughter in his voice. "But you just said tha-"she was cut off by the man staring down at her, "Let me rephrase that, This is our room while you are in this hideout, even though you haven't made a move to flee yet I'm a couscous man. So you sleep in here or in the dungeon." Sakura knowing now she'd be watched 24-7 knew now she couldn't have hope of an escape. "Get real for a moment Sasuke I am not sleeping with a hormonal teenage boy in the same room let alone in the same bed." Thinking, 'he can't be serious If this is his room, I know what secrets hide in his closet.' A devious smirk made its way onto the Uchiha's face, "you didn't seem to have a problem cuddling last night despite being nude." He couldn't help sounding like he enjoyed embarrassing her as he saw her turning red.
"Per-rvert!" she choked out. "If I so much as feel you breathe on me I'll pumble you into next week!" Sasuke yelled sounding amused, "How do I strike you as hormonal!?" Sasuke noticed her annoyed expression and raised eyebrow, 'Gee I wonder Sasuke, you only have a closet full of all kinds of sex toys!' Sasuke spoke not waiting for her answer, "Clearly you haven't seen Karin and Suigetsu when they're in one of their moods!" He spoke confused at first by her reaction to his statement; In a dramatic fashion all of Sakura's limbs went limp and her head hung low as her whole face and neck started to turn red. Suddenly it hit him as he recollected her earlier testimony, 'she came running in the room screaming about us people having something wrong with us when she saw me naked… Oh shit! She couldn't have!" Sasuke's smirk grew wider, "Wow you have heard them haven't, don't tell me you walked in on them!" Sakura shrunk into a ball holding her knees up to her chest covering her face like before. Sasuke laughed, like an actual human laugh came out of him, "Awe, don't be shy Sakura they were just having sex, it happens all the time, why do you think they get their own floor?"
Sakura bolted up from her fetal position and started for the door, "You act like it's natural for two tens to have sex all the time!" stopping her in her tracks he spoke, "Oh come-on you act like you've never had sex before!" her blush deepened if it were possible and his chuckling stopped when he realized her reaction could only mean one thing, "wait don't tell me Sakura hat you're still a virgin?" Sakura felt humiliated by the situation, "Shut up! I'm only seventeen!" Sasuke smiled at her "alright calm down I was only teasing you, go ahead and take a nap and I'll wake you up when lunch is done.
'I really hate him right now, why did it have to be me in this situation, Ino would have loved it so much more!'
XxxxxxOxxxxxX
Naruto kept his stare blank as he watched Tsunade's lips move, "Where is Sakura?" she firmly spoke. Naruto griped his covers; he wanted to forget, he felt physical pain as his heart was being ripped to shreds at the memory of leaving Sakura to face Sasuke alone… "How is Kakashi sensei?" Tsunade narrowed her eyes as she watched Naruto's reaction before he changed the topic of her visit. "He'll live but almost didn't make it through the night, he died twice during the operation. Naruto's eyes grew wide for a moment after hearing his sensei died twice.
"What happened to Sakura, Naruto?" Tsunade asked with irritation evident in her voice. Naruto didn't speak. Tsunade spoke with anger in her voice, "Is she dead?" Tsunade grimaced at her own words. She was about to hit Naruto before she saw silent tears stream down Naruto's face. Tsunade gently grabbed Naruto's leg as sorrow overtook her at his reaction she was about to speak again before hearing a faint voice answer her last question. "I'm not sure…" Naruto spoke before breaking down in front the Hokage,
"I'll do everything I can to find her, alright Naruto but you need to stay healthy." Naruto continued to sob. "One of the nurse's will be in shortly to take off your bandages and you can rest at home. You'll be on paid leave for a month." Tsunade frowned as Naruto wept uncontrollably and walked out of his room in the hospital to attend her duties as Hokage and find her missing student.
As Hinata was leaving Kiba's room Tsunade spotted her and called her over. "Hinata I have a very important mission for you." Hinata nodded signaling for Lady Tsunade to continue. "Naruto's physical state as of right now is perfectly fine, however I am worried about the damage it's done to his psyche…" Hinata worried about her beloved friend questions, "Is he alright, he seemed different last night, what happened?" Tsunade shook her head in frustration, "I'm not sure entirely, Kakashi is currently recovering from surgery, I can barely get a sentence out of Naruto, and Sakura is MIA." Hinata's gental eyes grew sad, "oh dear…" she spoke with sympathy. "that's why I need your help!" Tsunade stated assertively, "I need you to move in with Naruto and make sure he's taking care of himself properly, he just had a breakdown and depression can be dangerous for a person like Naruto." Hinata could almost cry, she knew Naruto loved Sakura and would never want to come in between them, but she couldn't say no when her friend and childhood crush needed help.
With a slight blush,"I accept the mission, how long is it?" Tsunade crossed her arms, "it starts now. Pack your things and move in by tonight." Hinata stuttered, "N-now!? But wh-what about my father, he's on a mission, what if he doesn't-" Tsunade spoke in her very business-like tone, "I will send a massage your father along with the circumstances of the mission, this is not his mission Hinata your father can't decide if you take it or not. "Hinata was still worried about what the rest of her clan would think of her. She was next in line to take over as head of the family and she had an image to uphold. 'What would people think of me if I am living in an apartment with another man? No, this is Naruto were talking about he would never hurt me and besides he is in love with Sakura… I hope she is okay.' Hinata tried to reason with herself and bowed towards Tsunade, "I accept the mission." Hinata spoke without hesitation and with great determination. "Go pack the things you think you will need and I will right up an official mission, come by my office to pick up a mission scroll." Hinata nodded heading over to the Hyuga Clan Compound.
She moved all of her things into box's and by the time she was done it was in the late evening around dinner time. Hinata sprinted across roof tops trying to get to the Hokage tower as soon as possible. The streets were always busy around this time of night and were crowded, making it hard to walk through. When Hinata finally reached the tower she walked up the winding steps and gently knocked on the Hokage's office door. "Come in." an irritated voice sounded, and Hinata did as told. "Good-evening Lady Hokage." Hinata bowed. "Oh good evening, I was wondering when you'd come by to get this." Tsunade held out a scroll in her hand and Hinata moved to grab it. "Give this to Naruto if he tries to complain about his situation you have my permission to hit him upside the head."Hinata gulped, "I-I'm sure that Naruto-kun won't give me much trouble." She laughed nervously.
Hinata walked over towards Naruto's apartment but hesitated as she was about to knock. 'I hope Naruto-kun doesn't mind my presence, I don't want to be a burden…' she knocked softly and waited as no one came to the door and knocked again. 'maybe he's not home right now she motioned to knock again and at that moment her fist met such soft skin yet it was hard as a rock from the toned muscle of his naked chest. Hinata turned bright red as she looked up meeting deep blue eyes as clear as the ocean water. She stopped staring and bowed her head almost pleadingly, "I'm so sorry! Ple-please f-for-forgive me Naruto-kun!" she managed not to faint from touching Naruto flawless, and beautiful tan body. Naruto looked at Hinata oddly, 'why is she always stuttering when she sees me.'
"It's no big deal, what are you doing in this part of town at this time of night?" She was relaxed once she realized he was not offended by her awkwardness. Hinata recalled how she once did the same thing to Neji but it was far more embarrassing considering that all of her clans elders were standing right behnd her when she did so, and Neji was in his briefs only seemingly expecting someone else that night as she remembered hearing him say Tenten. He was bright red and slamed the door in Hinata's face, he didn't talk to her for a whole two weeks. "Oi? Hinata-sama?" She snapped out of her daydreaming as she remembered where she was at the moment, "Excuse me, I'm sorry!" she shoved the mission scroll in front of Naruto still not looking at him afraid her blush would only deepen if she continued to stare at Naruto's beautifully carved, lean muscles of his arms and chest, she didn't dare look at his core, fearful that she would faint.
Naruto grabbed the scroll and opened it not really wanting to read all the little details he paused as he read that Hinata was to live with him until further assessment. Naruto scoffed,"Is Granny Tsunade really that cautious, It's not like I have lived on my own for 18 years or anything." Rolling up the scroll not bothering to read the rest he handed it back to Hinata. She looked up at Naruto with sad eyes, 'I forget that he has lived by himself all his life… it must get lonesome.' He spoke once more, "Do I get a choice in this or is it absolute?" Hinata frowned she didn't want to intrude but she also didn't want to leave him alone, Naruto is a strong person but everyone needs help once in a while. "That or she wants me to take you back to the hospital." Hinata spoke with concern apparent in her voice. "I saw Lee training on the steps leading up to the stone face's. Why don't you go ask him to help you move your things, just tell him I said I'm calling in that favor he owes me. I'm going to clean up my apartment while you're doing that." Hinata nodded and bowed muttering a thank you as she rushed to find lee.
XxxxxxOxxxxxX
She waited until he came to the bottom of the great steps. Lee had his back arched with is legs hanging over his head while in an upright standing scorpion position as he carefully walked down the steps one hand at a time. As he reached the bottom he exclaimed, "Yeah I have done it Guy sensei! 4,052 steps woohooo!" Hinata smiled at Lee as she waited patiently for the bot in the green sweat suit to calm down. "Well good evening Hinata-sama, you are looking more radiant and youthful then ever!" Hinata blushed and uttered a thank you barely above a whisper. "Naruto-kun asked me to tell you that he would like you to do a favor for him." Lee's smile widened, "finally I get to repay Naruto for helping me out with my training! What does he need me to do, anything and I will try my hardest!" Hinata smiled "He would like for you to help me move… some box's 'my things' to his apartment." She spoke warily "Right away lets go, and with the power of youth invested in me, I will move it ten times as fast as he could!" She laughed lightly as Lee ran off not knowing where to go, he stopped and looked back, "Where are the box's again?" she gestured for him to follow her and he did.
She had moved the box's just outside of the Hyuga Compound she carried three smaller box's while Lee insisted on carrying her backpack as well balancing four larger box's, two in each hand with one on top of the other. Hinata was glad that Lee didn't ask her or Naruto any questions when they were invited inside the small apartment. Lee left as soon as Naruto said his thanks.
Hinata was shocked when she looked throughout Naruto's apartment; It was not what she was expecting.
