I will update as soon as I can. Hopefully every other week depending on my homework load. As always please read and review and remember the more reviews I get the faster the updates come out;)
Hinata's Pov:
Ino and I were walking back when suddenly Ino started to giggle. "Hinata, do you want to barrow one of my tops for the mission?" "Were still not back yet and I have it with me." "I don't know why I did not think of it earlier." She smiled at me while I just stood there baffled. "Here it is" she said excitedly as she pulled out a black top that made me want to blush just by looking at it.
The top she held out almost looked like my under shirt only a thicker mesh material. It had a low heart shaped cut on the breast line and had thin straps to go around the shoulders. "Um…What would I wear wi-th th-at?" I asked worriedly. Well let me see what you have going on under that jacket of yours silly." Ino unzipped my jacket and gasped at what she saw. "Hinata, you look amazing!" I was just wearing my black bra with my mesh under shirt that synched at the bottom right above my navel. "All right put this on under the mesh!" she practically yelled at me while ripping my jacket off of me. I should be completely uncomfortable with her doing this but I want to impress Naruto!
"All right Ino, I got it" I smirked at her and quickly removed my mesh top and handed it to her while I took the low cut tank top from her and slipped it on. "What do you think?" I asked her with a coy smile when I had finished putting it and the mesh top on.
"Hinata…WOW!" She screamed and then ran and gave me a bear hug that squeezed all the breath out of me. I returned her embrace and then pulled away. I reached for my jacket and she shook her head at me. "Not until we go to bed" she ordered. "Plus it's not cold enough for it anyways, so let's get back already." She smiled an evil grin and I shivered and wrapped my arms around my now unhidden chest. "No, Ino I'm not ready to do that…I…I don't know what to do." "Just be yourself and you will be fine, it's just Naruto."
I took a deep breath and nodded to her. She folded my jacket in her arms and started to walk back to where we left Naruto. I dropped my arms to my side and walked into the clearing after her.
Naruto's Pov:
The girls have been gone for a long time…I wonder what there up to. Heck if I know what girls do or talk about when they take baths. I mean I learned "things" from the Pery Sage and I understand women but honestly it baffles me how their minds work .
I could hear soft murmurs in the distance in the direction the creek was in, I'm guessing the girls are heading back from their dip. Even though I'm about 98% sure it's them, but as a Ninja you always have to be prepared. I crouched down behind a tree and drew a sherikin from my hip pouch and listened closer.
I heard Ino giggle and Hinata sigh…the quiet sound of Hinata's sigh brought my heart rate up and I smiled to myself. Putting my weapon away and standing upright I walked over to the fire and sat down cross legged on the soft earth.
Picking up the long branch I was using to move the burning logs around I started to poke at the fire and wait for the girls to come back to the camp.
When the girls walked into the clearing I paid no attention to them and I continued to move the now embers around until they were where I wanted them. I stood and turned toward the tent where the pile of wood was. I was going to add a log to the fire when the tent entrance unzipped revealing creamy long legs and dainty slender feet. I was expecting long blond hair and piercing ice blue eyes to meet my gaze but instead I was met with cream and lavender orbs.
I straitened up slowly as my eyes raked over Hinata's now not covered body. She was wearing mid thigh length ninja ops shorts and a tank top that barley reached her navel. The tank had a heart shaped neck line that showed more cleavage than Naruto had ever seen on Hinata before. Her barley exposed breasts were covered but still visible through her mesh under shirt. The entire outfit was black and lacey. The contrast between her roses and cream skin and the black clothing was so beautiful that all Naruto could do was stare at her with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Hinata's face was almost hidden by her long raven hair…but her eyes could still be clearly seen. She looked worried, like I did not like what I saw before me. I cleared my throat and looked at the fire while placing the last log into the fire.
I heard Hinata step closer to the fire and then quietly sink to the ground. She exhaled with a sigh and then fell silent again. An awkward silence hung around us until Ino appeared and started a conversation with Hinata about this new restaurant that Sai was taking her to when she returned from the mission.
"It's has a dance floor and a huge bar and authentic Italian cuisine. "It has to be the most romantic place he is ever going to take me too" she said with a dreamy face and lust filled eyes. Hinata smiled and nodded in agreement. "I think that is so …..amazing" she whispered with a longing look that vanished as soon as she realized I was staring at her. Hinata looked down and covered her eyes with her long ebony bangs but her flushed cheeks were still visible. She looks so sweet and cute when she blushes such a delicate pink I thought to myself.
I wonder if she would go to that new restaurant with me if I asked…hmm. Like that would ever happen, a girl like her could never be with someone like, well someone like me. I frowned to myself at the sad fact that would never allow me to be with her in any other way then a friend.
Hinata's Pov:
After hearing about Ino's soon to be night of romance… I was left longing for one of my own. And in that wanting, I almost vocalized that I wished Naruto and I to have a night like that. Day dreaming about what could be I failed to realize that indigo orbs were burning into my eyes. After coming back to reality I felt a searing gaze on my face. I looked up and was met with a smile from Naruto. I immediately looked down and blushed a crimson color.
Why had I said anything at all? Here I am in an outfit I would never wear and making a fool of myself because I wanted a night of romance with some one that would never feel the way I feel about him.
But I do not want to marry some stranger from somewhere I don't want to live. Hmmm. I might as well go through with this after all. He did seem to like the way Ino dressed me up. I smiled when I thought of what Naruto had looked like when he saw me coming out of the tent. It makes me think I can do this. When Naruto was done adding logs to the fire he sat down two feet from me and started pulling at the long grass beneath us. Before I knew what I was doing, I had scooted closer to him while Ino moved closer to me. It was getting colder out and even with the fire I started to shiver. "I think it's getting colder than 70 degrees" I said in a sarcastic tone. "It is… and its weird…something does not feel right Naruto said. Its late summer, it should not be this cold out."
"I think you may be onto something Naruto" said Ino. "Maybe a genjutsu?" I asked. Ino nodded and we all stood. All right you know the drill…GO! Ino yelled . We all split and fanned out into the forest to look for the culprit of the genjutsu. As we ran we were to break the genjutsu. I focused my chakra and said release. I felt the warmth come back to my body and it was easier to breath. Ino should have no trouble with the release but Naruto may have an issue. I hope he can break it. As I ran in and out of the trees I noticed that I had yet to activate my Byakugan. Wow that was some Genjutsu.
"Byakugan" I said while I was running. I stopped dead in my tracks as I realized I was alone. Ino and Naruto were not here. What had happened to them? They could not have disappeared into thin air. Could they? Was I under another Genjutsu that was blocking my vision…. Why is everything going dark? I can't see anything!
There was a loud snap to my right and I heard the wind whirl by my face as I barley rolled out of the way. I crouched low to the ground and listened for another movement when I heard nothing I reached out with my mind, looking for a chakra signature. When I felt the signature I stumbled back into myself because the chakra was so dark and sinister I knew I wanted nothing to do with it. And yet I felt I knew the signature. Suddenly my vision came flooding back to me and then I felt my Byakugan activate again. As I looked up at my attacker I was dumfounded by what I saw. It was Naruto, only he was radiating the Foxes chakra. "Naruto…what's going on?"
"We have a visitor." Naruto said. "It was Sasuke."
Naruto's Pov:
Flashback:
After I broke through the first Genjutsu I was assaulted with another that was similar to the Sharingan. I recognized the chakra signature and prepared myself for him. My vision was gone completely now, I decided to tap into the fox's chakra to heighten my other senses. I felt the deep blood red chakra incase my body and my hearing and sense of smell heighten. Taking a deep breath I found where he was perched in a large tree about 20 yards away. I smiled to myself and grabbed a sherikin…this was going to be fun. I turned to my right in a lightning fast move and through the sherikin toward Sasuke. I heard him dodge it and jump from tree to tree in a circling fashion. I felt like the helpless prey or a shark, only I'm not so helpless as to be beat by someone like Sasuke Uchiha.
I could hear him tightening the circle around me and could feel the slight stirring of the air as he passed at my left side. I could feel my blood boiling as the fox stirred within me. It wanted blood. It has always wanted Sasuke's blood, and at my hands. "Sasuke!" I yelled at him as he continued to play with me as he danced around me. He stopped and laughed quietly. "Ah, Naruto you never were one for patients were you?" "Only with people who try mine to the brink of no return Sasuke." I remarked. "Well Naruto we have an issue here I have to be leaving and Hinata is coming closer and I can't let her see me with those eyes of hers." "So until next time old friend." He said with a snide voice that made me remember the days when he was my best friend. He flash stepped away and I chased after him at full speed. "Sasuke… you better not touch her or so help me I WILL kill you!" I roared into the now empty forest.
I ran as fast as I could, even blind I did not fall or stumble. I was seeing with all my other senses and was driven by the thought of Hinata in danger. I caught a whiff of her honey and lavender scent on the breeze as it blew past me. I picked up my pace and fallowed her scent until I reached her. I was close enough to hear her soft breath and her thrumming heart beat. My eye sight came back to me in a rush of power that was staggering. I looked down at Hinata and she knew I was here. She was already in a defensive position crouched low to the ground. I smiled…even without her strongest fighting attribute she was still aware of me and prepared for a fight. She was breathing in short soft pants, as if I had frightened her just by my presence. Did Sasuke hurt her? She looks a little scuffed up, but not hurt and still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I took a deep breath and looked around to make sure Sasuke was truly gone. I felt her gaze upon me before I saw her eyes clear and focus on me standing over her. By her worried look I realized that I was still emanating the foxes chakra and must look frightening to her.
End flashback:
Ino's Pov:
I woke up to Naruto carrying me in his arms and I could hear Hinata at his side but I had no idea where they were taking me. We were still in the forest that is all I could tell from how I was being cradled against Naruto's muscular chest. I sighed deeply as I recalled what happened and to why I was too weak to move.
