Howdy, G'day, Greetings, Salutations or just hello. This is Wandering Wonderer with the final chapter of 'Celebrating the Festivities'.

This is the big one, the lemon…my first published actual lemon, still in the process of writing lemons for other stories that are yet to be updated.
This chapter is nearly 5000 words, double the amount of text in the first two chapters.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, no matter how many birthday cake wishes I waste.
Enjoy…
Oh, want some cookies with the lemonade?
-------------
It was New Year's Eve, and the whole village had come alive. Lights and laughter were running through the streets. Ninja were playing games on roofs, and children were playing in the street. Delicious scents wafted over the town and alcohol was in excess.
What was left of the 'Konoha 12' were standing together, on the interception of the main street, and the road leading from Konoha's front gates.
"Hinata, have a drink," Ino slurred, holding onto Choji for support.
Hinata shook her head and giggled softly at both Ino and Sakura's current state. Both were completely drunk, and it was only 10.45pm. Tenten was making out with Neji on a nearby roof, and Choji and Shino were talking quietly. Lee was standing with Hinata, having been banned from drinking, so he decided to talk with someone who was also sober.
Chatting politely with Lee about their differing fighting styles, Hinata didn't notice the figure quietly approaching her. She was fixing her simple purple kimono, when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around, and standing there was a young man, about her age…maybe two years older, smiling at her.
"Hai?" She asked.
"Konbanwa, I am Kenji. I was wondering…would you join me for a drink, then maybe a dance." Said the young man.
"A-arigato…for the offer, but I already have a boyfriend." She smiled at the thought of him. "And I don't think it would be fair on him if I accepted your offer."
The young man Kenji stepped closer to Hinata with a smirk. He gripped her wrist and pulled her against his chest.
"Come on babe, he'll never know." He whispered, twisting her wrist.
"O-Ow, you're hurting me."
"Excuse me, your behaviour is neither gentlemanly nor youthful. I suggest you release her and leave." Lee said roughly.
A large tanned hand clamped down on Kenji's shoulder.
"I agree with Lee. Release Hinata now."
Kenji was thrust backwards and fell to the ground. He had let go of Hinata's wrist the moment he began falling backwards. Looking up, he saw that the girl he'd been hitting on, in the arms of a tall blonde young man that had a scowl on his face, and deep red eyes. Hinata snuggled closer to her saviour, gripping his jacket tightly. Inspecting her wrist, Naruto growled dangerously.
"You hurt her, you hurt my Hinata." The whisker-like marks on his face became more prominent. "I should tear you limb from limb."
Hinata realised what was happening, and decided to intervene. Leaning up, she placed a kiss on Naruto's chin, and as she did, she noticed that fangs had been elongating down his face.
"Naruto, calm down. It's okay…I'm okay. Just let him go." She said softly.
Naruto looked down at his girlfriend, and his eyes seeped back into their usual bright blue, the fangs disappeared, and the whisker-marks returned to their normal state.
"Hai, but only because you said so." He turned to face Kenji. "Leave."
And the young man did. He scrambled to his feet and ran off.
"Konbanwa Naruto, your timing was perfect!" Lee said.
"Hey Fuzzy-brows, arigato for standing up for Hinata." He looked at her. "Are you sure you're alright?"
She smiled up at him. "Hai Naruto, I'm fine. Welcome back, was the mission a success?"
"Sure was!" Kiba said, as he and Shikamaru approached the group.
"Konbanwa Kiba-kun, Shikamaru-kun, I'm glad to see you're safe." She continued, stroking Naruto's arm.
Kiba and Shikamaru inclined their heads in thanks to Hinata and walked over to Shino and Choji, and Lee accompanied them. Left alone, Hinata looked up at Naruto with a smile on her face and he couldn't help but return the smile. Leaning down, he nuzzled the side of her face and whispered sweet nothings in her ear. She blushed red at having Naruto so close to her but slid her arms around his shoulders, standing on her tiptoes.
"I'm wearing your present Naruto." She whispered.
Naruto pulled away just enough to look at her neck, and he grinned.
"I knew it'd look good."
"You said you'd tell me why you'd chosen it when you got back…"
"I did, didn't I?"
Before he could continue any further, Sakura and Ino stumbled over and interrupted their conversation. Sakura threw herself at the couple and Naruto had to let go of Hinata and catch the drunken girl so the three of them wouldn't tumble over. Sakura snuggled up to the young man in a seductive way and he grabbed her by the shoulders held her at arms' length.
"Sakura-chan, what's wrong with you?" He asked, concerned and annoyed.
She grinned. "I'm soooo glad you're back Naruto!" She ground out his name in slow syllables.
Naruto looked at Hinata to gauge her reaction and was surprised to see jealously.
"Sakura-chan, please. I know you are drunk, but you know Naruto and I are together. Please behave yourself." Hinata said testily.
The drunken pink-haired young woman shrugged in Naruto's grasp and he let her go.
"Is she drunk?" Naruto asked his girlfriend.
She nodded. "Very."
Sakura and Ino walked off again and Naruto took Hinata back in his grasp, pulling her flush against him. She couldn't help but giggle at his action, not that she was complaining, she loved the feeling of being encased in his embrace. He pulled back slightly and fingered the snowflake necklace that she was wearing.
"I got it coz you remind me of a snowflake." He said suddenly and she looked up at him. "You're so small," He said cheekily. "And you look like if someone touches, you'll break." He smiled, running a finger gently down the column of her neck. "But you're so unique, like a snowflake. Beautiful, like a snowflake." He whispered, leaning down.
"Naruto-kun…" She whispered, her lips a hair's width away from his.
He kissed her lightly, a feathery kiss that took her breath away. Opening her eyes, she became aware that his vibrant blue eyes were looking back at her. Her heart fluttered in her chest and she sighed happily, breath fanning his lips.
"Why didn't I notice you earlier, all that time we've lost?" He said, the slightest hint of regret evident in his voice.
She smiled at him and stroked the back of his neck. "Maybe you just weren't ready to see me more than a friend. I once overheard you telling Shikamaru that you like Sakura for the convenience, because it was safe…because you knew she'd always say 'no'. Plus, you were so focused on your dreams, and had so many bad things going on around you, so you didn't notice. Maybe you needed my friendship, more than you needed my love."
His eyes immediately widened and she looked confused for a second. When she realised what she'd said, she blushed hard. She tried to look away, but Naruto gently took her chin and tilted her head up.
He smiled. "Say it again…"
His soft tone and happy eyes gave her the strength to say what she'd wanted to say for years.
"Naruto-kun…I l-love you."
Yet, she was furious with herself for that infernal stutter. Looking up, he seemed to notice her anger and soothed her.
"Hinata…that was pure 'you'." He stroked her cheek with his thumb. "I love you too."
She smiled sadly. "Naruto-kun, you don't have to be obligated to say that when you don't mean it."
"Hinata." He said, almost firmly. "I may be dense and oblivious, but I know how I feel about you. I may not have noticed you until recently, but everything about you I love. I love your heart, I love your kindness, I love your stutter." He laughed quietly. "I love that blush. I love your eyes, I love your hair, I love everything about you." He looked her firmly in the eyes. "I love you."
It finally happened, after one date, many kisses, and two confessions, she fainted.
-------------
As her eyes fluttered open, she moaned softly. The space next to her became weighed down, and complying with the laws of physics, she rolled towards the point of greatest mass. Said mass was very warm…and breathing. She snuggled closer to the warmth and sighed as a soft arm slid over her waist.
"Wait…what?" She thought, eyes opening wide.
She moved back, but relaxed when she saw her love smiling at her happily.
"W-what are you so happy about?" She asked.
He moved a strand of hair from her face. "Just thinking…wondering actually. Why someone as perfect as you would choose me."
"Why not?" She asked, moving closer to him once again. "Besides, I'm far from perfect. I have many shortcomings."
"Short-what?"
She giggled at him. No matter how much he'd grown over the years, he was still the old Naruto.
"Short-comings…faults, flaws." She explained.
He squinted at her and gave her a once over, before focusing on her face, adopting a thoughtful look.
"What's wrong with you? I can't think of anything wrong with you." He said innocently.
Her heart fluttered at the idea that Naruto thought she was perfect. She giggled giddily and threw her arms around his neck, hugging him happily. The force of her weight rolled him onto his back, taking her with him. After she finished giggling, she realised their position and blushed.
"Gomen nasai." She said speedily, trying to roll off him.
He thwarted her attempt though, by using his larger mass to keep them the way they were. Her hands were around his neck, and his were around her waist. He leaned up and captured her lips in a romantic kiss. She melted into the kiss and forgot all about keeping her weight off him. So involved in the kiss, she didn't realise she'd been placed with her back on the bed until she opened her eyes and noticed she was now looking up at bright blue eyes. Breaking away from the kiss, he grinned cheekily at her before quickly licking her across the lips. Leaning down, he kissed her on the corner of her mouth, and with each successive kiss, moved closer to her lips. As he reached her lips again, he kissed her passionately, expressing his love through his actions. The kiss took her breath away and one of her hands creeped up into his hair, softly caressing the blonde locks.
Pulling away from the kiss for air, he placed his forehead against hers, looking her in the eye with a heart-warming smile. Her stomach did a flip-flop at the smile and weakly returned the smile, muscles having since been turned to mush.
" 'Nata, you've made me so happy, arigato." He whispered.
"Naruto-kun…I should be saying the same thing to you." She replied giddily.
He moved his head down and began placing kisses along the column of her neck, suckling and biting lightly at the same time. Head sinking back into the pillow, she sighed at the sweet sensations her love was invoking within her. It was New Years Eve and she was alone with the person she loved most in the world, she was ecstatic. Then it clicked.
"N-Naruto-kun," She asked, gasping at the sensations. "W-What's the time?"
Naruto looked up from her neck and looked at the clock on his bedside table. "It's 11.30, half an hour till midnight. Do you want to go back and celebrate the festivities?"
As he asked her that, he grinned playfully and his hands moved to her sides, fiddling with the sash holding her kimono together. He leaned down and kissed her exposed neck and made his way down to the exposed flesh above her breasts.
"N-N-N-No, I'm f-f-fine h-h-here…Oh Kami!" She moaned at the end as his hands undid the sash and found their way to the smooth flesh of her stomach.
Naruto's male ego swelled in the knowledge that he was the one pleasuring her. And in a rare moment of selfishness, he told himself that no man would physically get near her again. He would be the only one allowed to see here naked flesh, touch her ivory skin, and the only one to kiss her.
"I'm never letting you go." He whispered huskily, eyes flashing red for a moment.
"I'm glad…" She whispered, oblivious to the fact that her kimono had slipped off her shoulders and that the tops of her breasts were showing.
One of his hands travelled down to her leg; slowly inching it's way up and slipping under the bottom of her kimono. His calloused, battle-worn hand glided over her smooth leg and he realised how different they were physically. No matter how much time she spent in the sun and in battle, she never tanned, nor a scratch or a blister marred her skin. He pulled away from her chest and looked at her intently, absorbing in the rare beauty of her ivory skin and silver eyes infused with lavender. Hinata noticed the gaze and blushed under his inspection, suddenly feeling very self-conscious.
"N-Naruto-kun, what are you looking at?"
"You," He whispered, a hand skimming the skin under her breast. "Just you. Beautiful you." Without another word, he kissed her soundly on the lips.
The hand that had been exploring her leg, had moved up and skimmed the front of her panties, making her arch up at the unexpected sensation.
"G-Gomen," He stuttered, blushing lightly.
One of her hands slid from his hair to his jacket, unzipping it. "I-It's alright, it felt good."
He kissed her again as his brushed his hand over her panties again. After hearing her moan into the kiss, he grew a little bolder and his hand moved slightly lower. She gasped and he hardened as her breath passed his ear. Curious as to whether he could evoke that reaction again, he touched her again, this time more deliberately. This time, she moaned as she arched up and a tiny 'oh' sound filtered through his ears. He wasn't dense; he knew exactly what he was doing, and where he was touching. He had studied under both Kakashi and Jiraiya, and he'd learned about the pleasurable spots on a female body. With each pleasurable moan she released, he felt himself grow warmer in his groin. As he rubbed her over and over again, he felt her panties grow wet, and again, he wasn't ignorant as to what that was.
"N-N-N-Narutooooo-kun…" She moaned, lost in bliss to the electric sensations running through her body.
He liked the fact that she reverted back to calling him 'Naruto-kun' when he pleasured her, and it sounded so much more delicious than usual. She suddenly bucked her hips once and her back arched as she let out a long moan that was mixed with a gasp. She collapsed back into the bed as her legs twitched as he rubbed her three more time, drawing out her first climax. He kissed her chastely on the lips and then looked her in the eyes. She was blushing hard.
"N-N-Naruto-kun…" She whispered and he kissed her again.
"Did you enjoy it?"
She blushed harder and nodded. The hand on her chest moved up and cupped her breast, running a thumb delicately over her nipple. She bit her lip to suppress a moan and her head tilted back, exposing her neck. She relaxed again and looked at Naruto.
"N-Naruto-kun…w-what about you?"
He was stumped. "What about me?"
She blushed. "I-I mean…you…pleasured me. What about you? D-D-Do you w-w-want m-m-me to-"
"Hinata, you are the most perfect girl in the world." He said as he kissed her passionately. "I'm fine, I can wait." He caught his innuendo. "I mean, if you want to continue you, that is."
Hinata broke eye contact and softly ran a small hand over his now bare torso. She lightly trailed a finger over a scar and he watched her as she did. He brought a hand up and clasped her hand in his, noticing the difference in skin tone.
"Hinata…'Nata, I don't ever want to force you to do anything. If you want to say 'no', please just say 'no'." He whispered, intertwining their fingers.
She looked at him. "No…" She whispered. "I do want to. I w-want to b-be with you Naruto-kun, more than anything." Her free hand moved from his head, to his face, where she thumbed the corner of his mouth. "I want to be closer to you than anyone ever has. P-Please let me be with you."
He kissed her palm tenderly. " 'Nata, you don't have to beg. If anything…" He nuzzled his face against hers. "I should be begging you, perfect you, to be with me. 'Nata, I don't deserve you, but I'm going to spend the rest of my damn life trying to be worthy enough for you."
"Naruto-kun…I love you just the way you are. I already think you're right for me. You treat me the best anyone ever has in my life." She paused, then leaned up and kissed him tenderly. "Make me yours."
He kissed her again, and again and again. Using both hands, he completely undid the sash around her kimono, and it fell open, exposing the young woman in all her glory. The moonlight that filtered in through the window gave her already glowing skin an ethereal shine. He took in her figure, all the way from her neck, down past the curve of her breasts, over her flat stomach and curvaceous hips. She shied away slightly under his scrutiny, but he only smiled.
"Hinata, you're perfect."
She blushed, but she didn't try to hide her body. He looked over her again, this time using a finger to trace the path his eyes were following. She watched as he trailed his finger down her neck, over her breasts, to which she sighed happily, over her stomach and along her hips. His finger then hooked over the edge of her panties and tugged at then slightly. She shook her head.
"You first."
He grinned mischievously and nodded, sitting up and undoing his pants. He returned to his place hovering over Hinata, and they both worked his pants down off his legs. The pants were discarded off the side of the bed, on top of his jacket and mesh shirt, and the kimono soon fluttered gently on top of the messy pile, suddenly making it seem much more feminine and beautiful. The two lovers were left only in undergarments, Hinata in white panties, and Naruto in black boxers. He began again, trailing a hand down her body again, wishing to burn her figure into his mind. Leaning down, he kissed her gently as he slowly removed her panties, going slowly so she could stop him if she wished, but she didn't. Now completely naked, Hinata blushed anew but Naruto only whispered to her over and over again how beautiful she was.
Knowing that his actions were already pushing her boundaries, and knowing she was a quiet, reserved girl, he figured against using his fingers or tongue to bring her another climax would be pushing too much, too soon. Instead, he used his hands on her breasts, on her waist, and on her legs, caressing her lovingly to get her prepared for the next step. Each touch, each kiss, each look made her gasp and sigh. Had she not already known that he'd never been with another girl, years of following him assured her of that, she wouldn't have wondered where he'd learned all his moves. She put it down to natural talent…Kiba having showed her one of the books Jiraiya-sama had written, and they weren't very tasteful. The books had been very brash, raw, talking of 'fucking' and 'sex'. But Naruto's movements and actions were sensual and romantic, they weren't preparing her for 'fucking', or even 'sex', they were preparing her for 'making love'.
Once he'd finished lightly tickling one of her elbows, he looked at her questioningly before removing his boxers, giving her a very good view of his hardened manhood. She blushed and looked away, knowing he'd caught her looking.
" 'Nata, being around you, having your love, has made it impossible for me to be ashamed of myself. I don't mind baring myself to you, I trust you…I love you."
She turned her head and looked him in the eye, a light blush dusting her cheeks. He looked back at her with shining eyes, baring not only his body, but also his soul to her, and it took her breath away. He kept her gaze as he moved his hands to her legs, hooking his hands under her knees and bending her legs up at the knees. Placed between her open thighs, he slid his hands up her legs and held her on buttocks, arching her up slightly for gentler access. He leaned forward and kissed her as he ran his length along her opening, lubricating himself with her juices. Pulling away from the kiss, he placed his tip at her entrance, looking her straight in the eye.
"If you want to stop at anytime, tell me. Tell me 'no' now, and I'll stop, I can wait."
She shook her head. "Make me yours, wholly."
He slowly eased his length into her, watching her carefully for any signs of discomfort. As her insides stretched to accommodate the new object, she winced. For every wince, he'd stop, move back out slightly, and then press forward again. Once he was sheathed all the way in her, he collapsed on top of her, head in the pillow beside her. He was relieved that he hadn't had to break her virgin barrier, as he hated the idea of causing her pain. He knew years of training and being a ninja had probably torn her barrier, and he thought no less of her. He knew he was her first, and that thought made his heart swell with love and pride. A small moan passed Hinata's lips as she absorbed the strange new sensations, and the moan reached deep within Naruto. It suddenly hit him that he was inside Hinata; he was making love to her, joined together in the most intimate way.
"Hinata…" He sighed huskily, revelling in the feeling of her slick, tight warmth.
While he lay atop her, basking in the sensation of being within her, Hinata was recovering from the welcome intrusion. It was a strange feeling, a welcome feeling, but strange nonetheless. As her walls shifted around him, she fought back a shuddering moan as she realised that he was touching a very sensitive button deep within her.
"Naruto-kun…" She sighed erotically. "I'm ready."
He removed his weight from atop her, and positioned himself with his forearms placed on either side of her shoulders. One hand twisted in her hair, and the other was thumbing the skin on her neck as he pulled out slowly from within her.
Both moaned.
He rocked back into her slowly and her eyes fluttered closed, head pressing back against the pillow. Naruto was unable to close his eyes, entranced by the expressions that passed through her face with every one of his movements.
It was clumsy and rusty, but they soon got into a rhythm, and as soon as Hinata began thrusting in time with his movements, both their pleasure increased three-fold. Every now and then she'd wince, and he'd stop, apologise, and kiss her softly before moving again. At one stage, she instinctively lifted a leg and hooked it onto Naruto's lower back, allowing for easier penetration. He took this as a sign to increase his pace, and he began thrusting a little faster. The room was filled with gasps, whimpers and whispers from both partners as they made love, and the sounds only eroticised the mood. Hinata suddenly clenched harder, and she knew what was coming.
"N-N-Naruto-kun," She panted. "T-T-That feeling's coming again, I think I'm going toooooo…"
She finished with a drawn out moan as she climaxed hard, clenching down on Naruto's member, which in turn caused him to release.
The people down in the streets welcomed in the New Year with a beautiful display of fireworks, yet little did they now, that in the apartment of Naruto Uzumaki, he and his new found love were experiencing fireworks of their own.
As said fireworks exploded, Naruto released his essence within Hinata, and she coated him with hers, both collapsing from the exertion. As they lay in each other's arms, panting heavily and coming down from their high, they were too oblivious to everything but each other. They didn't hear the townsfolk cheer as they welcomed in the New Year, all they heard was each other, whispering their welcoming to the New Year to their significant other.
As the euphoria passed, Naruto scooped his arms under Hinata's back and turned them over until he was on his back with her lying atop him. He lifted her hips slightly, sliding himself out of her and kissing her as she moaned. She shifted off him, until her leg was lying over his, an arm was splayed over his torso, and her head was resting on his shoulder. Her eyes started closing, fatigue overtaking her.
"Happy New Year Hinata…" He whispered, stroking her hair with a hand. "Here's to many more Happy New Years in the future."
Before she completely passed into the realm of slumber, Hinata was aware of the fact that Naruto was moving around subtly, and she soon felt a luxurious doona cover her. She didn't react though, as her greatest source of warmth was lying beside her.
-------------
Naruto Uzumaki woke later that morning a new man. At the end of the previous year, he'd been a hot-headed young man with a beautiful girlfriend, and a mission to bring back his best friend. At the beginning of the New Year, he'd transformed into a man, truly experienced in love, more determined than ever to bring back his best friend, but still ignorantly hot-headed. Breathing in deeply, Naruto became aware of the weight on his chest, and looking down, he smiled happily at the sight of a head of indigo blue hair. During the night, Hinata had shifted her head from his shoulder, to his chest. The doona had moved down, and was resting around his waist, and lying conveniently over the curve of Hinata's rear. Hinata was now lying, head on his chest, body fully pressed up to his side, half lying on top of him. Her legs were entangled with his and the fingers on her left hand was entwined with the fingers on his right hand, and her right hand was in his hair. Using his free left hand, he gently ran it down the curve of her spine, eyes closed and imagining the ivory skin of the young woman he was caressing. In her sleep, she sighed at the gentle caress and he looked down at her with a heart-warming gaze.
This single person, this one girl…woman, made him the happiest he had ever been in his life. Her encouragement, her praise, her silent cheering, had allowed him to rise against all odds in all sorts of dangerous situations. She had the singular power of making him feel so strong, yet so weak at the same time. Her smile made him smile, and her touch made him forget that there were hundreds of people in their own town that hated him. Their date on Christmas Eve had been a memorable night, just as memorable as their first intimate night together, a turning point in his life. Their first kiss, their first dance, his gift to her, he smiled at the memory.
Looking up at his window, he saw that the sun was quite high in the sky, and he could hear the streets bustling below. Looking back at the girl in his arms, he forgot it all. And as if she could feel his heated gaze on her, she stirred in his embrace. She murmured quietly, hummed tiredly, then stretched against him, releasing her grip on him and stretching her hands above her head…hitting him in the process.
And in that moment, he was assaulted with two sensations, one of pain, and one of pleasure.
"Mm…Naru…N-N-Naruto-kun? Nani?" Her eyes snapped open and a blushed burned her cheeks.
"Ow 'Nata…you pack quite a punch." He whined, rubbing his nose.
"N-Naruto-kun, wh-what…oh!"
All her memories of the previous night fluttered back into her mind and she blushed scarlet, unable to tear her eyes from his. She tried to scramble off him, but he only grabbed her wrist and turned her onto her back, hovering over her. He leaned down and kissed her soundly on the lips.
"You shouldn't have stretched like that, now I'm quite excited." He grinned.
Hinata couldn't help but look down, and saw that indeed, he was ready for a…morning round. Gazing back up at Naruto, she smiled weakly, to which he replied happily.
"Morning Hinata, did you sleep well?" He grinned happily.
She nodded. "H-Hai Naruto-kun…"
He leaned down and gave her an Eskimo kiss. "Just 'Naruto' remember 'Nata, you don't need to use a honorific."
"Hai…Naruto." She couldn't help but smile.
"Happy New Year love, I can tell it's going to be a great year. First, if you'll permit me, I'll reacquaint myself with you. Then…ramen!"
"H-Hai Naruto…that sounds good." She leaned up and kissed him chastely on the lips. "Happy New Year."
-------------
Yeah, what Hinata said, Happy New Year!!! That's it for this story, unless you review, asking for the Valentines Day chapter…which will only be released on Valentines Day next year.
It is December 31st here in Australia, that's why I'm releasing this chapter now. For all Australians reading this, Happy New Year, and for everyone else…Happy New Year!!!
Stupidly enough, I don't have a link in my profile to my DA account, but there's the link to Sabaku-chan's in there. In her most recent journal entry, she mentions me (Sleepwalking101). Click the link and drop me a line. I like people!
Hope you enjoyed this chapter and the story. Ciao!
