Hinata woke groggily and held her hand limply against her forehead as she stared at the clock. She shuffled to the kitchen to get a drink of water to rehydrate. She then half-heartedly shuffled through her morning routine. She felt a little better after her shower. She stared into her mirror at herself. She couldn't find a single thing that would make the hokage think she was equipped for the missions she was training for. She was already close to mental exhaustion just thinking about everything she had to do for the training.
"I can't just sit around and stress. No better time than the present to go through a transformation anyways, I guess." She said trying to encourage herself. "You are a Hyuuga you can do this!" She was startled a knock on her door. "How does Ino recover so quickly from a night out drinking, seriously?" She grumbled as she went to her door. "Please don't give me the over excited voice okay, it's still early."
"Uh, umm wow so you do own other clothes." Genma blurted the first thought that came to mind. "I'm sorry please don't faint okay." He rushed as he saw the red burst into Hinata's cheeks.
"W-why are you here!" She exclaimed as she tried fruitlessly to pull down her take top over her shorts, while also trying not to show off her breast.
"I came by to say I was free later this afternoon if you wanted to train again that's all." He rushed out.
"I have plans to go shopping for new clothes with Ino later!"
"Quit fidgeting so much you are making it so much worse! I'm leaving find me later if you have time to train." Genma was quickly gone from sight. Before her door could slam shut it was caught by a pale slender hand.
"Hey Hina-chan do you know what has got Genma running away from your apartment?" Ino asked cheerily as she took in the sight of a tomato colored Hinata. "Did you open the door?" She was answered by a nod. "Like that?" Another nod. "And then you pulled down the top to cover the shorts?" A sigh and a nod. Ino burst into a fit of laughter. "Oh m-my Kami!" She said between giggles. "You stood in front of him exposing a lot of cleavage while also drawing attention to your legs. You are just way to amusing!"
"It is not funny Ino!"
"Come on Hinata, don't be so upset. You should at least feel a little more confident about your body."
"What part of that situation is supposed to make feel better about myself?"
"It takes a lot to make a man just as flustered as you get, and that grown man was even more flustered than you."
"Your reasoning is completely missing me here." Hinata said with a little curiosity.
"The amount of embarrassment you're capable of is more than the average, and Genma rumored play-boy was blushing, and straight-up running away." Ino sighed as she saw the still puzzled look on her naïve friend's face. "He was embarrassed too. Hinata he was just as shocked and embarrassed to see you in that little clothing as you were for him to see it."
"So?"
"Think about all your romance novels. When do the men ever get embarrassed like that?
"When they've been thinking about it, or when they realize they're paying more attention than they should be."
"So, either Genma had been absently wondering if you'd being showing up in skimpy bed clothes or, while talking to he realized he couldn't take his eyes off your body. He had either realized you're very attractive or he just learned it."
"Ah, so either way he ran away because I am desirable!" Hinata pumped her fist in joy. "Maybe I can beat the Hokage at her game yet!" Ino laughed at the extreme change in Hinata's attitude. "Let's go get some new clothes!"
"Damn… it" Genma gasped falling with his back against a tree.
"Damn it what exactly?" Kakashi asked. Genma looked up to the branch above him.
"Damn it!" Genma exclaimed stomping away.
"I'm guessing that one was directed towards your luck at resting against the tree I was in, but what was the first one."
"Buzz off Kakashi." Genma told his friend in irritation.
"You know my curiosity won't allow me to do that after you've avoided the question twice now."
"I would really rather not tell you."
"I will not leave you alone until you tell me. I have nothing else to do it today, I'm bored. Humor me." Kakashi said with an eye crinkle.
"Well at least I'm not the only one in for a long day then."
"Oh my, Hinata that dress is beautiful on you!" Ino clapped her hands.
"You really think so? Do other kunoichi really wear things like this on missions?"
"Yes! Look the slit seems high to you but it gives you a better range of motion, the decorative looking strap of fabric over your shoulder actually doubles as a weapon holster if need be, and the pink really looks great with your skin and eye color."
"Practical and useful, huh."
"We are ninja, our body is simply another weapon at our disposal."
"Ino don't these kind of missions ever get to you? You do more of them than anyone else."
"I won't lie to you Hinata." Ino sighed. "I have had a couple of the missions get a little out of hand, but never to extreme. Sometimes they aren't so bad, but usually seduction missions are used as a last resort. This means that more often than not the target is a real bad person, evil even. It is really hard to act like the stories of murder, and rape don't make your stomach turn upside down. You have to act as if you're attracted to a person who has a look in their eyes that makes you feel cold inside. You have to act as if you understand that dead, cold look. You have to put your lips on a person with a dead soul, and act like you like it. It's not fun. It is a mission that will test personal limits more than any other mission you have ever been on."
"Ino I don't know if I am strong enough for all that?" Hinata said as her eyes filled with tears.
"Don't you dare cry for me!" Ino demanded. "I am a shinobi it is my duty to protect this village from all sorts of evil, and it reminds just what evil there is to protect it from." Hinata nod while quickly wiping away the tears.
"I will definitely try my best to get through this training then! I will help take some of that burden away from you, so we can protect this village together."
"There you go, now buy that dress and put it on the Hokage's tab!"
"Oh darn, I forgot to ask her about that." Hinata suddenly remembered. Ino sighed.
"Go take the dress off and I'll go put it on her tab."
"You can't do that we don't know if I'm allowed."
"She put you on this mission and this is required training material. She told you to ask me right? I'm deeming this required material, and you have to wear it to the training later." Ino added with a slightly evil smirk.
"What training?"
"With one Shiranui Genma, you did say that's why he stopped by right?" Hinata went pale.
"Ino I can't face him yet." She whispered. "It would be much to embarrassing, especially in this."
"You can and you will it's an order as a person trusted with advising you in the art of seduction." Ino smiled. "Now pay for the dress and let's go grab some lunch." Hinata quietly paid for the dress and Ino couldn't help, but giggled when she walked out into the street still wearing it.
Two Blocks Later….
"Ino! You let me walk out in it!"
"You know it is not my fault that you were to lost in thought to notice it." Hinata looked around frantically looking for a place to change. "You've already walked half way the restaurant in it why not just keep it up and get comfortable wearing it." Ino offered softly with a comforting smile. Hinata stared at her still looking panicky.
"What if someone sees me?"
"Two blocks worth of people already have, and not a single man missed it I promise."
"Ino!"
"What they were checking you out embrace it and learn how to use it against them. You're a beauty, don't doubt that okay."
"Fine I'll keep it on."
"So back to this morning what was the damn it about?"
"You're turn to pay right?" Genma smirked as Kakashi took on a crest fallen look.
"If I ran out you would disappear wouldn't you?"
"You bet your ass I would." He answered leaning back against the booth.
"Alright, I'll pay then." Kakashi shrugged and laid a few bills out on the table. He really needed to get a hobby his boredom was starting to cost him money.
"What?" Genma stared at the money. "You are willing to pay to get this information?"
"Yep." Kakashi shrugged with an eye crinkle.
"Well since were going to be spending the day together why don't we get some training in."
"A sparring session then?" Genma nodded replacing his senbon and shoving his hands in his pockets as he left the building.
"T-this is the t-training field we u-used last time, so l-let's start h-here." Hinata stuttered through her increasing unease.
"Alright I'm with you." Ino nodded. "You're freaking out so bad I won't leave you by yourself this session okay."
"Thank you Ino." She sighed already feeling some of the weight lift off her shoulders.
"Now back on topic. What exactly about the mysterious type has become so appealing?"
"Well it's just that you know once you get him hooked he will be faithful, and that you will always know more about him than the people outside your relationship."
"You romanticizes everything don't you?" Ino laughed.
"Well why do you like straightforward men then?"
"Damn…. it" Genma whispered
"They're not paying much attention are they?" Kakashi whispered back. "Hey was that what the damn it and the running was about this morning, that little Hyuuga girl?"
"Shut up Kakashi." Genma snapped.
"Well that dress does give me a new appreciation for her, and new hatred of her jacket."
"She was wearing less this morning." Genma grumbled.
"Oh?"
"It was a tank top and really short shorts, and she kept pulling the top down. I have to get down I told her I would train with her today. You can go now."
"It doesn't look like he's here Hinata." Ino beamed.
"I'm here." Genma nodded as Kakashi drew the attention to them.
"Oh, Kakashi just the sensei I was needing to talk to!" Ino exclaimed.
"What a not so subtle was to get them alone Ino." Kakashi chuckled.
"What?" Ino looked at Hinata and then back at Kakashi. "Oh crap, no Hinata I am not doing that. Kakashi I need to know what your genin test was, I want to fail my students too." Hinata was finally able to breathe as she remembered Ino's own problem.
"Oh, alright but why."
"They want to give me a team, and I don't want one." Kakashi chuckled. As Ino walked up to him he could see the desperation in her eyes. "So can you explain what you did to me?"
"Why don't you ask Sakura?" Kakashi said walking off towards the trees while grabbing out his book. Ino followed closely behind begging for information.
"G-Genma, a-about this m-morning." Hinata stuttered.
"Don't worry about it I was just a little surprised, no big deal." He waved a hand dismissively. Hinata nodded weakly. "Ready to get started?" Hinata nodded quietly again. Genma gave a longing look at Kakashi. He wished he could be getting hounded by the loud blonde instead right now.
Ino yelped as a ninja star flew past her face and embedded it's self in a tree trimming off a few strands of Kakashi's hair in the process. "Ino, you said you want to train with Genma also, didn't you?" Hinata asked sweetly twirling another star around her finger. The blonde spun around and ran back to them.
"Yes, yes I did." Kakashi chuckled to himself as he made a mental not that the shy, quiet kunoichi could actually be very deadly. "Since I was only temporarily preoccupied, would you please stop trying to cut my hair with those! We all get irritated, but you could just learn to yell like a normal person you know!" Hinata only shrugged as they followed Genma to the target area.
"Ino you're still worrying more about force than you are placement." Genma sighed as he tried to explain this to the blonde again.
"Ino," Hinata interrupted him. "The senbon are needles, they don't need the so much weight from your hand behind them. A needle is designed to be slim and sharp. It glides through air and skin without as much force as a throwing star." Hinata tried to explain to her friend in her own words.
"It's just so different from what I'm used to." The pale blonde whined to her friend. As Genma sighed again from the tree he was sitting beside.
"Who would have thought that the princess is actually deadlier than Yamanaka?" Kakashi mused out loud.
"Me, well since yesterday that is." Genma responded. "She learned the senbon so easily. It's like it was always just waiting for her to find it. She won't need me around for long." He smiled.
"Speaking of you being around her…" Kakashi asked with a sneaky tone. "How was this morning's show?"
"I didn't see a thing other than cleavage you perv."
"You couldn't look past her cleavage and I'm the pervert here?"
"Not what I meant at all." Genma sighed. "Ino, seriously are you even trying at this point?"
"Bite me Shiranui!" Ino stomped her foot and yelled.
"You are not helping Genma." Hinata scolded. "I'll show you again watch me." Hinata quickly pulled out a senbon and placed it between her fingers and with a flick of her wrist it embedded in the bulls-eye. She then brought out three and placed them between her fingers and sent all three into the three different targets. "It's not about the force Ino it's all about the quick and smooth motion." Ino tried again once again barely hitting the target, but embedding the senbon all the way into the wood. Hinata laughed as Ino stomped her foot and yelled at the weapon. "Hey, look at it this way. Maybe it's just Kami's way of letting me be better than you at something."
"Whatever I am giving this weapon up for now." Ino sighed. "We've been here from five hours and the only thing I have accomplished is destroying the bottom half of that paper target. I am not made to use a senbon, but Hinata you seem like a natural."
"She kind of is a natural. It's only her second day. We can't all be great everything Ino." Kakashi piped up.
"Yes, like how some of us are completely incapable of helping other people get out of being a sensei." Ino shot back.
"Exactly like that." Kakashi said with an exaggerated eye crinkle and head tilt. Hinata and Genma both chuckled.
"I'm going home." Ino said as she ground her teeth. "Today has not been my day."
"If you wait for me to pick up my senbon I'll walk that way with you." Hinata offered as she rushed over. To start collecting her set.
"It's okay Hinata, I'll walk her home." Kakashi said. "Plus I'm sure if I don't break her down today she'll hound me for weeks to come."
"I won't give up that easily Kakashi-sensei!" Ino vowed as she followed after the leaving jounin.
"It's already pretty dark why don't I go ahead and walk you home to Hinata?" Genma asked nonchalantly.
"U-um… you know it would probably be smarter if you walked Ino home. She says you live the same building. So just go with them. I can handle myself I am a kunoichi, you know."
"I'm a ninja too, but that doesn't mean I don't have manners. It is only polite for me to walk you home." He said with a friendly smile.
"You're right." Hinata sighed. "Plus, I have a few questions for you anyways." Genma stiffened. Please, let these questions be of a wholesome nature no matter how unlikely that maybe, He silently pleaded.
The pair walked for a while in silence, and part of Genma was almost convinced she had decided he was not the right person to ask. Just as his hopes had started to build he glanced at her and saw her blushing. He watched as she opened and shut her mouth without a sounded. So much for wholesome, He sighed.
"Just spit it out. I am kind of training you for this too, you know." He forced himself to tell her, but he wouldn't look at her.
"Okay, I'm asking because you know the entirety of my situation." She started and then paused again before continuing. "Say a girl, and yes roll with the hypothetical it makes it easier, so say a girl was completely and I do mean completely unsure of anything past a simple sweet kiss. How does that girl go about finding someone to teach her, and not break her heart?"
"Well….." Genma's thoughts instantly went to places where he shouldn't allow them to, and everything was telling him to offer himself up. "That's a tricky question." He had to find a different segment of his brain, one section that wasn't completely and wholly tainted with perversion would be great right now. "Ah, got it. She doesn't."
"What?" Hinata cried.
"Hinata, you're…" He was stopped in his tracks by an icy glare. "Okay, sorry. She won't find anything like that as long as she believes her heart is capable of getting broke by the situation." Her eyebrows rose in confusion. "Just stay with me here. If she was to go into a training of the physical nature and let herself believe it was anything more than learning the physical mechanics of the human body, then that girl is setting herself up to be broken. If she let a man place his lips, his hands, and maybe even more on her and constantly reminded herself that it was only a learning experience then maybe she'd get out unscathed. I say maybe, because the heart sometimes is a horrible listener."
"Ah, so if I went at it expecting anything more than a training session I would be leaving myself vulnerable." She sighed. "I don't know what I'm going to do."
"I don't know either. On everything else though you are doing really well. If that makes you feel any better." Genma nudges her with his elbow.
"Not really. I don't know why I am even stuck in this situation." She mumbled. Genma shrugged as they fell into silence. It wasn't long before they were at Hinata's building, but when Genma slowed and she showed no signs of noticing where they were he took them around the block. On the third trip around her block Hinata's mood suddenly shifted. "I can't give up though." She said smiling up at Genma. "I have to work hard so that I can prove myself as a ninja." Genma smirked back down at her.
"That's right and were here." He stopped motioning to her building.
"Oh, oh my gosh I didn't even notice we were getting close. Thank you Genma. I feel a little better about my training." Hinata waved as she walked to her building. Genma was turning around to head back towards his place when she ran back up to him. "When are we going to train next, I figured it's safer to ask now."
"Just come find me when you have a chance to train." Genma laughed. "I won't embarrass you like that again I promise." Hinata breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I'll probably find you within the next couple of days. Being taken off the active roster has given me a lot of free time." She lightly chuckled as they parted ways.
He watched her go into her building out of the corner of his eye. She was really a confusing girl. One minute she couldn't talk without stuttering and then the next she was asking how to learn about sex. He didn't like not understanding things and so here was again with his thoughts all revolving around her. "I need a drink." He sighed.
Half an hour later Genma was joined at the bar by his most annoyingly patient friend. Genma didn't even give the masked man the benefit of sideways glance. They sat in silence for another 15 minutes as Genma continued taking shots of sake. He didn't know if it was because the Yamanaka girl had exhausted him, or if the man was trying to judge how well his jokes would go over right now.
"So, have you drank away your perversion yet?" Kakashi asked feigning concern.
"You ask me that, while sitting there reading that book?" Genma gestured to the smutty novel in Kakashi's hands.
"I'm not trying to stifle my perversions, you are the only one here doing that. I embrace who I am, and you are trying to drink it away. It is a completely different situation."
"I am not trying to drink away anything about myself, it's just everything about her I'm trying to get rid of."
"Why exactly?" Kakashi asked setting down the book.
"She's not like our normal Kakashi."
"Which means what exactly?" Kakashi asked.
"She's not just out looking for a one night stand. She's not even sure what she wants from a man. She's sweet and calm. She's a virgin for Kami's Sake." Genma sighed in exasperation.
"Quick question. How the hell do you know that?" Kakashi put his book back in its pouch and turned towards Genma in interest.
"A hypothetical situation."
"You know I hate those, please let's not."
"Not now you idiot, she asked me a question in a hypothetical situation and asked how a girl would learn if all she knew were simple childlike kisses. She's not even fully an adult." He ordered another bottle of sake.
"Oh…. Yeah leave that one alone. I'll be your wingman for the night. Go relieve some sexual tension my friend." Kakashi patted him on the back. Then turned and leaned his back against the bar. "Hey look isn't that the little blondie from the weapons shop?" He tapped Genma on the shoulder. "You know she's always way nicer to you than me. Come on buddy she wouldn't take a lot to take home. You won't even have to seduce her. Let's play some darts and she'll come to you." Genma sighed.
"I would really rather not tonight Kakashi."
"As your friend I am going to annoyingly push you into this, because it is in my opinion that you need this."
"Whatever, let's play darts."
Hinata had barely made it home when TenTen had burst in through her front door. Hinata barely avoided her upturned hands with four senbon.
"Wow, you have really gotten good with those. Scary good." TenTen laughed.
"Don't you know to knock on a ninja's door? Are you crazy?" Hinata scolded.
"Come on, I bring gifts!" TenTen said raising her hands to show the four clothing bags she held in them. "I had Neji ask around the compound and he found your size. With that information I have now compiled ten different outfit options suitable for your current mission. Before you ask yes, Ino told me everything." Hinata sighed and motioned TenTen to follow her to the bedroom.
"Show me what you've got."
"Only one condition first."
"What?"
"If I do show you all these things then you have to wear one of them out tonight with me."
"I already wore a trampy outfit out and about once today." Hinata said motioning to her current outfit.
"So let's show them another one, and really shock someone!" TenTen grabbed her hands in a pleading style.
"If I decline?"
"I will tell Neji that I found these in your drawer and that's why my services were rejected." TenTen said holding up a few pieces of string.
"What are those exactly?" Hinata asked laying down sideways on her bed and looking at TenTen.
"Crotchless panties." TenTen said with an evil smirk.
"Where did you even get those?" Hinata gaped at her.
"I have my ways, so ready to see your options?"
"Fine, but I am tired so I'm not drinking too much. I am also going to take a shower before going anywhere."
"Terms accepted, now have an open mind." TenTen warned her as she started searching through the bags.
An hour and half later and the girls were finally walking into the bar. I might become an alcoholic if this becomes a habit. Hinata absently thought to herself as TenTen laughed at whatever story she was telling Hinata. When they swung the door open they were instantly met with the back of a man. They both stopped for a second and stared as he raised one hand that held a dart and then threw the dart.
"Told you it would be a breeze." The man cheered for himself. "Now don't you know me a kiss beautiful?" He purred to the girl next to him. TenTen laughed as Hinata felt her spine stiffen.
"I don't this fool has even noticed us yet." TenTen giggled to Hinata as the man bent down to a woman with blonde hair.
"Genma. Would you please move." Hinata tried to ask. TenTen glanced at her in confusion.
"You know him?"
"Yeah. Genma! You're in the way!" Hinata yelled over the crowd and to her annoyance she felt a slight stirring of some kind of unhappy emotion.
"Holy shit, Hinata yelled. I'm going to faint." TenTen clutched her chest jokingly.
"Hinata?" The man spun around towards them. His mouth instantly fell slightly agape.
