Chapter 3 - Looming Clouds
Hinata was sitting against the stone wall with Naruto's head in her lap. He stopped crying a few minutes ago, all she could hear was his gentle breathing. Hinata was caressing his spiky blond hair. The silence was comfortable but questions kept racing through her mind that she wanted to ask him making her uneasy.
As far back as Hinata can remember, she always longed to comfort Naruto. Making him feel better and sharing in his pain and mending it away. But her shyness kept her doing anything. Today she redeemed herself she proved to herself that she is not weak, now if only she can prove it to everyone else.
'N-Naruto-kun...' she said in a whisper. Naruto stirred. 'Yeah...' he said sleepy. Hinata bit her lower lip and asked her question. 'D-Does it hurt?' Naruto rose up, and started into her eyes. Not knowing what she meant he spoke to her. 'Does what hurt?' Hinata blushed slightly, and nervously twiddle her index fingers, looking away shyly. 'I-I mean the Kyuubi. D-Does it hurt having it inside you?' Naruto smiled gazing into her pearly lavender eyes. She really cares for me. He rubbed the back of his head grinning.
'No, doesn't hurt all'. Hinata looked relived. She reached out for him and wrapped her arms around him. She slowly placed a hand on Naruto stomach, making both of them blush crimson. She felt his hard abs, and something moving inside. Then she heard a growl. Frighten she pulled away quickly and tighten her grip on Naruto, trying to put as much distance between her and Naruto's stomach. Naruto started laughing.
'Don't worry, that was just my stomach saying its hungry'. Hinata blushed and giggled. Why in the hell did you have to do that for fox? You almost scared her to death. The Kyuubi only snickered. 'Couldn't resist'. Naruto grunted. Well next time resist.
Naruto stood with Hinata's hand in his. 'Wanna go get something to eat', Naruto said while grinning. Hinata quickly rose, 'Hai'. The couple made there way down the Monument.

The sun was setting, allowing the night to take over, the shadows were dancing throughout the dirt road as the cool wind gently blew. Naruto had his arm around Hinata's waist and she rested her head on his shoulder. Walking wherever they felt like walking.
While they walked, they talked about everything, they wanted to know as much as they could about each other making up for lost time. Talking about music, food, hobbies, and a whole lot of other stuff. Every so often on their stroll, Naruto would lean in and kiss her on her forehead and whisper sweet nothings to her. He did it because of what she did that drove him crazy. She would slightly jump and blush crimson. Her shy and gentle appearance made him melt inside. He still couldn't believe this was happening. He's with the girl he truly loves.
They walked by an open field, where they both saw two ninjas training. Hinata didn't recognize the two, the sunset made them only shadows, but Naruto easily knew who they were. Of course, almost the entire village knew the duo, but very few could recognize them by their taijutsu alone. The ninja who hid his face behind a mask and covered his left eye with his head protector, saw the couple and waved to them. 'Yo', said the masked ninja. 'Hey Kakashi-sensei', Naruto waved with his free hand grinning like a mad man walking up to him. 'So that dope finally noticed you, huh?' Hinata jerked her head towards the person who said that. 'S-Sasuke-san...' blushing and twiddling her fingers. She bowed and greeted the two ninjas.
Naruto scratched the back of his head and grinned. 'Yeah I guess I did. Well what about you and Sakura'? Sasuke twitched slightly hearing the pink haired med-nin's name. Sasuke really has changed his personality after his and Naruto's final battle that brought him back to the village. He became more humble, when Naruto made good on his promise to bring him even he had to break his arms and legs, but still reserved and arrogant at times.
Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, ordered that Sasuke's probation be that someone will escort him wherever he goes, and keep his involvements in the village's affairs to a minimum, which meant only D and C rank missions only. Kakashi volunteered for the mission.
The two became fast friends and Sasuke called Kakashi sensei for the first time. They grew into more of a father and son then a parolee and guard.
Naruto had to admit, seeing those two together made him feel envious and depressed. Their relationship brought back unneeded memories about Iruka, the ones that live in his nightmares. The old feelings of envy and anger were not showing their ugly face no more. Now that he had Hinata, he wasn't alone or afraid anymore.
Sasuke smirked, 'What about her, since I got back she hasn't spoken more than two words to me'. He said coolly, but he has missed Sakura's constant annoyances. Naruto with his arm around Hinata's shoulder with a grin present. 'Well you can speak with her tonight at my apartment when she comes over from her mission with Kiba tonight'. At that moment Hinata and Sasuke thought the same thing, Why would Sakura go over Naruto's apartment...at night.
Naruto felt Hinata tensed up and saw Sasuke giving him a death stare and looked like he was about to activate his Cruse Seal. And Kakashi had his head buried in his pervery book like he always does when he's bored.
Naruto quickly saw this and gave the reason for Sakura's visit afraid that his life was in danger. Nervously Naruto explained, 'Sakura comes over after a mission just to talk about what happens then she leaves, I swear'. Both of them accepted the reason.
'Well, Sasuke, I guess we'll see you tonight'. 'I'll see if I can make it'. Naruto started to walk away with Hinata when Sasuke called out to her. 'Yo, Hinata...' Hinata was surprised that he will want to talk to her. Turning around slowly she faced him. While Naruto looked puzzled he listened in. 'I heard from some people that you developed a taijutsu that no one has been able to copy. Not even the Sharingan can copy it. You want to have a sparing match'? He smirked when he finished.
Hinata blushed and began to twiddle with her fingers, and Naruto shot Sasuke with a death glare. If he so much as lay finger on her, that'll be the last thing he ever touches. 'Um...I-I would like t-that, S-Sasuke-san'. She said loud enough for him to hear. 'How about tomorrow morning, here. 'I guess will find out which is the strongest Kekkai Genkai, huh?'
'Hai. See y-you then. S-Sasuke-san'. Naruto walked away with Hinata and waved bye to the two ninjas. It was getting dark and Hinata told him that she needed to get home before it gets too dark out. Naruto gave her his sad pouting look, she only giggled. Walking towards her home she said mentioned Sakura's visit tonight. 'N-Naruto-kun, will you say hi to Sakura-chan for me?' 'Of course I will' giving her a peck on the cheek.
Stopping near the gate of the Hyuga mansion, she hugged Naruto and kissed him lightly. Soon after he pressed his lips against hers. After a few moments she stopped kissing Naruto but soon realized that he was still kissing her. The kiss was growing more and more passionate. Feeling their tongues touch their lips. Hinata kissed him back with a burning face and legs that are barley keeping her up. She always wanted to be kissed this way, and she always wanted it to be Naruto. She couldn't feel any more happier.
Naruto couldn't believe that he was doing this. He was making out with her, and enjoying every minute of it. The kisses from before weren't as good as this. Her soft moans made him want her even more. Hugging her tighter to get more pleasure, she did the same. The kissing continued as Naruto began to kiss her silky neck.
After for what seemed like hours, they finally stopped kissing to catch their breath. Looking and holding each other with love, desire, and fire, they started to kiss again under the moonlight.

Heat and passion was radiating off the couple. Naruto kissed her again and said his byes to her until the next day. Walking her to her gate he watched her walk to her home. He sighed, putting his hands into his pockets and began to walk home, with thoughts of Hinata.
Taking his time walking, he enjoyed the the cool breeze and smell of lavender in the air. Looking around in no particular direction, he felt a drop of cold water on his cheek. Is it going to rain? Maybe I should get home before it really comes down. He began to walk faster. Passing a cherry blossom tree he suddenly remembered that Sakura was suppose to come over. His power walk quickly turned into a full blown run.
Naruto ran up the stairs and was a bit revealed that no one was there, which meant that Sakura didn't show or that she already left. The rain storm broke when Naruto reached his home. Digging inside his pockets, searching for his keys, he again started to think about his lavender eyed angel. Letting himself in through the door, he dropped down into his couch, burying his face into the cushions, thinking that Sakura might show up because of the rain.
Losing track of time and lost in his thoughts, he found himself when a knock came from the door. Looking up, he saw the clock and saw that it was almost nine thirty. Another knock sounded, this time it was a bit louder. Getting up from his comfortable couch he headed for the door. Opening the door, he was greeted by a pink haired girl.
'Hey Naruto! How are you'? Sakura said, practically jumping into his arms dropping her umbrella, having one of the biggest smiles she could muster. She always held her love for Sasuke, but after he left and broke her heart, she began to see Naruto for the same reasons Hinata fell in love with him. Tonight was the night she came to terms with her feelings and was the night she chose to tell him. Letting go of him from her hug, he led her to his couch where they made themselves comfortable.
'So Sakura, you and Kiba have a good time'. 'It was ok. It wasn't the best mission I had but it was fun. It was just to gather medical herbs. I did saw a side of Kiba that I never knew was there'. Talking for a few more minutes, she finally asked Naruto if anything was new. A big smile grew on his face, covering his entire face.
'Well there is something new that you're not going to believe'. Sakura looked into his eyes and saw joy and love. Blushing slightly she thought that his was the best time to make her move. Before Naruto could say another word, she threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer until their lips met.
Stunned and speechless, Naruto couldn't make any sense of what was happening. He knew he shouldn't be kissing her but apart of him, the twelve year old side whose been chasing her since childhood told him to stay. But the older side said to pull away, reminding him of the girl he gave his heart to.
Trying to pull her off him seemed to in vain. Her super strength surpassed his own and couldn't free himself. Feeling her grip lessen he took the opportunity to pull away. But was frozen in fear when he heard the faint whisper of his name. Following the direction of the whisper, he saw Hinata standing in the doorway.
Dripping wet from the rain she stood and watched the two kiss. Eyes red and the half side of her face red, she whispered his name. Looking into her eyes he saw it was filled with such sadness and pain, he longed to see the eyes he saw before that were filled with bliss and love.
'HINATA'! Getting up from the couch quickly Hinata stepped back in unison. 'Hinata wait'! He said as he walked towards her reaching for her but she spun around quickly and ran into cold wet night with Naruto chasing after her.
Sakura sat there alone in the empty apartment confused, shocked, embarrassed. She couldn't any sense of what just happen. Why did Hinata look so upset and why was Naruto trying to pull away? It's not like they're together, are they? Upon making the connection, sudden dread and disgust consumed her. How could I have not know.
She shut her eyes in anguish for causing more pain to the two people who already felt enough agony in one lifetime. Looking up from tears when she heard foot steps she saw the last person she wanted to see at a time like this. A raven haired shinobi stood by the door.
