Almost all of the senseis were gathered in their favorite balcony. Asuma was smoking as usual, Gai was jumping around, Hayate was talking to Genma, and Iruka was sitting and reading when Kakashi and Kurenai came in and sat down, everyone looked up. Breaking the silence that followed, Gai spoke up.

"Well?"

Kakashi handed a twenty to Kurenai, "She won the bet."

Everyone's jaw dropped.

She grinned and placed her hand out, "Pay up."

Everyone groaned and rummaged through their pockets to find money.

Asuma spoke up, "Well? How did it happen?"

Kakashi sighed and said, "We walked through the door and saw them going at it." He grinned under the mask, "You should've seen their little faces when I cleared my throat."

Kurenai started laughing, "They pulled apart so fast I though Hinata was going to fall off the bed!" She paused, "And then there was Hinata's face when I told her to fix her shirt! It was all like…" She made a shocked face.

Everyone started laughing.

"Damn…. That means the second half of the bet will probably happen…" Iruka said.

Gai was in the background crying and saying something about how beautiful young love is…

Kurenai looked up, "Kakashi and I went to see the first time… Who's going to watch them for the rest of the day to see if the next twenty bucks will come to me?"

"Oooooone, Twooooooo, Threeeeeeee…..Not It!" Everyone yelled.

"Not i-...aw damn…." Asuma said as he took the cigarette out of his mouth.

Kurenai laughed, "Have fun Asuma!"

He grumbled and muttered, "Why do I have to watch these damn kids just to give her more money…" before jumping off of the balcony as the sun was setting.

The two teens were walking along the dim lit streets of Konoha. One slowly reached down and intertwined his fingers with hers; she giggled and moved closer to him. The shinobi that was following them sneered and continued behind them.

After following them for a little while longer, Asuma noted that they stopped in front of the head of the Hyuga clan's house. She kissed him goodbye and slipped inside. He turned and started walking back to where he lived. Asuma let him go and was sitting in a tree for a few minuetes. He heard yelling from inside the house and an upstairs door slam. He heard a window slide open a little behind him. Startled, he turned around and saw a shadow slip out of the Hyuga household.

"What the hell?!" Asuma said as he started to follow it, noticing that it was one of the people he was asked to follow for Kurenai's bet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She jumped out of the window and ran. Stopping in front of the apartment complex where the only person the person she could turn to right now lived. She ran up the stairs and stopped in front of the door, out of breath. The nameplate read "Uzumaki". She knocked on the door and waited. There was shuffling inside and the door opened. She threw herself into his arms, crying. Shocked, he caught her and fell on his rear.

He lifted her head up and looked into her shimmering eyes, "What happened?"

"My father found out about us being together! He sent one of his best bodyguards out to spy on me! He knew we were kissing!"

She dug her face into his chest and sobbed in his arms; he leaned down and kissed her forehead, "It's gonna be alright…" As he looked at her closely and saw a bruise on the side of her face, "Hinata… did he hit you?"

She nodded.

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a protective embrace. She slowly fell asleep in his arms. He snaked one arm underneath her legs and the other behind her neck and carried her to his bed. He laid her down and pulled the blankets over her sleeping form, then walked out and sat on the couch, soon he himself drifted off to sleep.

Around midnight she woke up, looking around she realized she was in Naruto's bed. She sat up and slid quietly off of the bed. Walking out into the living room, she saw Naruto's sleeping form on the couch. She leaned over the back of the couch, watching him sleep. Reaching out a hand, she started to stroke his cheek with her fingertips. He started to stir and opened his eyes.

"Hin…Hinata?" He said as he sat up.

"I was watching you sleep."

She walked around the couch and sat next to him.

"How long was I sleeping?" She asked.

"Only about three hours."

She shivered.

"You cold?"

"A little… getting out of your warm bed was a little chilly…"

He pulled her sideways onto his lap. The look in her eyes changed, he noticed this. Her once red from crying, faraway looking eyes now looked warm, comfortable and had a glint in them… almost as if they were to seduce him. She turned her face towards his, her shining eyes closed as her lips trapped his in a kiss.

He broke free from her kiss and asked, "Are you sure you're comfortable with what this'll lead to?"

She nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck.

He paused, once again breaking the kiss, "Are you sure?"

She brought her lips to his ear and whispered, "I'm sure Naruto… I want to share this with you and only you…" She said as she unzipped her jacket and threw it on the other side of the couch.

He gulped as she brought her lips to his. He grabbed her and spun her so his legs were in-between hers and she was straddling him. She giggled and brought her hands up behind his head. He slid his hands underneath her thighs and picked her up, carrying her to his room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asuma, who was sitting on the rooftop across the street, watched as the two teens slipped into the moonlit bedroom of the boy. His cigarette fell out of his mouth and he quickly averted his eyes as she dragged the boy down onto the bed with her. He silently jumped onto the next roof and continued on to the meeting place of all the team leaders.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She dragged his form down on top of hers and fumbled with his jacket. He slowly brought his hands to her waist and messed with her pants. She squirmed out of them and flopped back down on the bed, rolling over to be on top of Naruto and messed with the zipper on his pants. Successful in getting them off, the two made their way under the covers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone had a poker game going, waiting for Asuma to get back. Tsunade and Jiraya were in the poker game as well. He silently jumped back onto the balcony.

"Well? What happened?" Kurenai asked, laying her cards facedown on the table.

He just walked over and took another twenty out of his pocket.

She started laughing, "I see, so that's why you're so quiet…"

He lit another cigarette and said, "In all my years… I have never seen two students like that…"

Jiraya just got a glint in his eye and said, "Well? Details! I am an author you know!"

Tsunade reached over to him and smacked him in the back of the head, "You're not an author… You're a pervert."

"Hey, I'm a proud customer of that author…"

Kurenai hit Kakashi in the back of the head, "You're a pervert too!"

The author and his customer sulked, rubbing the backs of their heads.

"What happens behind the closed doors of these students is none of our business." Kurenai paused, "Unless it happens to have twenty bucks riding on it. Pay up people."

Asuma stepped in, "About that… It seems that the lord of the Hyuga clan hit his daughter today… that's why Hinata went to his house in the first place…"

Everyone sat there in silence until the pervy sage spoke up, "Naruto will kick his ass. He loves Hinata and would do anything for her, even fighting her father to protect her."

Tsunade added, "You're right… He challenged me, saying I wasn't good enough to be Hokage. He won't let anything else happen to her."
