Naruto felt odd looking at the interestingly dressed girl in front of him, as seeing her in pink was not a common sight. Naruto chuckled after a bit to break the staring silence. Hinata was blushing; seeing Naruto taking an interest in her actual appearance seemed gratifying. She bowed and apologized.
"Forgive me Naruto-Kun, it was just...Kaben said you'd need help...And..."
"No, no, it's not that..." Naruto found himself stiff for words. "You look good in pink...is all..." Naruto looked away, hoping Hinata couldn't see his face tint red.
"Cute? Oh my, I should get back before I embarrass myself." "I am making Udon, I hope you will enjoy it." Hinata returned to the kitchen and returned to her culinary art.
Naruto sat and stared outside the window, looking at the other teams leaving for C grade missions, or helping around town on D ranks. He missed his work already. Either helping people or pranking them, Naruto was always at best spirits when an eye or two was on him. Hinata occasionally looked over her shoulder at Naruto, his sighs were like daggers in her back. She decided to break the silence once more.
"So...Naruto-Kun, I notice your cupboards are stocked well with ramen. Do you ever actually eat anything else?" Hinata hated the harsh way this sounded, but she just wanted a reason to get him talking...and to justify her knowledge of what she already knew about him.
"Well...I do have some other stuff, but it tends to go bad before I actually eat it. Ramen is good for a long time, haha." Naruto reached for a women's magazine on the table near his bed, and Hinata found it odd that Naruto had nearly every months edition of the past 8 years of every women's magazine. At first she thought Naruto was effeminate but then she remembered his Sexy Jutsu; the books were research material.
"Do you think your teammates know about your injuries?"
Naruto sighed angrily, "Yeah, probably, anything that makes me look like an idiot will make its way to Sasuke in no time. Sakura will probably just make my leg worse when she hears about it. Always the violent one, but so nice to Sasuke..." Hinata noticed the frown cross Naruto's face. She looked down at the bowl and started to serve the meal. A larger bowl was placed for Naruto, Hinata tried to guess his appetite and didn't want him to starve. Hinata had a regular serving, eating slowly and politely.
Evening was soon approaching and Hinata and Naruto were barely active, playing small games based on vision and hearing. Soon, Hinata found a small topic that had taken an interest to Naruto.
"Naruto-Kun...D-Do you think you can teach me to use your special jutsu?"
Naruto was confused for a second. "What special jutsu?" He noticed she was looking at a magazine on his floor, then it clicked. "Oh, my Sexy Jutsu? Well, I guess so. But no getting me into trouble." Naruto shared a laugh with her.
"Ok, first, prepare yourself just like any shape-shifting jutsu. Next, concentrate on changing your vocal patterns, make it sound sexy and alluring, make them think you want them that bad."
Hinata was blushing with each step of the jutsu. Naruto just lavished in the attention he was getting.
"Now, take your first stab at it, let's see what may need some work."
Hinata placed her hands together in the hand sign, she quietly said the name of the jutsu, and she disappeared in a puff of smoke. Moments later, a longer haired Hinata stood where she was, still clothed but nothing much else changed.
"Well, you got the hair. Looks like you need to work on changing the image a little more."
"Gomen...Naruto-Kun."
"Hey, no need for that. No one gets it on their first try. It took me nearly a week to get it right."
"Really?" Hinata seemed awed in disbelief, hearing that Naruto had to practice even his own made jutsu made her shiver a little.
"Yeah. From what I can remember, it was mom's legacy. It's how she met dad, haha."
"I remember that too, Hiashi-Sama is always grumbling about it" "It must be hard without having her around."
"Not really. I consider the Sexy Jutsu my mother's spirit; she lives on with me, you know?"
"Mother's spirit...just like our garden, it's all i [I have of my own mother..." "I'm sorry, Naruto..."
"Huh?" Naruto was confused at Hinata's apology. "What for?"
"It must be hard dredging all this up. And, on the other hand, I was there...watching your sparring match with Juzou-Kun. I should have stepped in and stopped you."
"Why?" Naruto just so abruptly said, throwing Hinata off center for a second. "I barely doubt you regret it. Come on, if you had, would I be here stuck in bed? Would you be here beside me, taking care of me, making sure I don't do anything stupid? Would you be here making me dinner, making my days a little more enjoyable even if I can't do any missions?"
Hinata was almost shocked into a state of suspended animation. He was right, she wanted all this time with him, and now she had it. And she's apologizing why?
"But, it would be cruel to lavish in someone's suffering."
"Do I look like I'm suffering to you?" Naruto said with a smirk. "And besides, it was my own stupidity, I'll admit. But I'll get him next time."
"Naruto-Kun..." Hinata blushed as she spoke barely audible.
The night was almost over, and Naruto would be settling down for the night. Hinata made sure that his leg would be safe from harm as he slept before opening the door to leave. She closed the door behind her and turned around, to nearly press lips to the wide eyed Kaben.
"So? Anything happen today?" she pried with a giggle.
"No! Nothing! And why'd you let him see me with that apron on!? You said you'd knock!"
"Oh come on, let a girl have some fun. Speaking of fun, I suggest to you stay the night with him."
"What!?" Hinata's voice could have woken up the entire hall, if there were ninja willing enough to occupy the rooms near the Kyuubi boy.
"Relax, nothing dirty, geez. I have just given you cover to be away from the manor. Karei-Sensai and my team have taken a C-rank misson mission, and needed a visionary specialist. Well, at least that's what we said, so we made arrangements with Hiashi-Sama. It starts tonight so your appearance at the manor now will only make us look really foolish. Stay with the boy."
"But...He'll know I'm not with you...He'll find out somehow."
"Just stay inside and outside of view. He doesn't use the Byakugan to look inside houses does he?"
"...Perhaps...Maybe you're right..."
"Come on, this is Naruto we are talking about. If you like him this much you should stay, if you do plan on being his wife you'll have to sleep in the same bed sometime."
Kaben's words forced Hinata's all too active blush to redden further, her imagination getting the better of her.
"Ok, bad way to put it. Stay, and just try and make it look like you arrive early morning to fool him, if you're so worried about what he'll think."
"I suppose there is no other way now. I'll do it..."
