Chapter Four
The bud with a sickness
Time: 12:05 AM, Wednesday
Location: Kurenai's House
Kurenai unlocked the door to her house and went in, Hinata following her closely. Both women walked into the living room and sat down in the chairs. Kurenai clapped her hands and started talking.
"Excellent job Hinata" Kurenai said proudly "I saw the way Naruto looked at you when we left the clearing, I think it worked really well on him"
"You r-really think so s-sensei?" Hinata said, shivering from the cold. Kurenai had given her some clothes before they passed through the village gate, but she was still cold.
"Definitely. I'm 100% sure that we successfully planted the seed in his mind" Kurenai confirmed, smiling like a devil "did you see the way he looked at you when after you kissed him? He looked like you were a bowl of Ichiraku's ramen"
Hinata felt a little odd being told she was like a bowl of Naruto's favorite food, but she knew it was a compliment nonetheless. "Um, I g-guess phase one worked then?" Hinata said, smiling a little at their success.
Kurenai nodded. "Yes, and now we move on to phase two: watering the sprout" she said, and rubbed her hands together "for now, we have to get to sleep, but tomorrow we'll make our next move. Agreed?"
"R-right!" Hinata said, trying to act confident "good night Kurenai-sensei" Hinata rose from her chair, climbed the stairs to the second floor and headed toward the extra bedroom. Kurenai had arranged with her father for Hinata to stay the night here, and Hiashi, knowing how important Hinata was to Kurenai and vice-versa, had readily agreed.
Hinata went into the upstairs bathroom and brushed her teeth, washed her face and combed her eggplant-colored hair. Then she went into the extra bedroom where her bag was, put on her pajamas and got under the covers. She closed her eyelids and within a minute she was fast asleep.
The Next Morning…
10:53 AM
Kurenai was making a pot of tea when Hinata came downstairs. She cracked three eggs and threw them in the pan, and then said good morning to her pupil. Hinata rubbed the sleep from her eyes and sat down at the wood dining room table. After the eggs were ready, Kurenai took the toast out of the toaster and put it on a plate.
Both women ate their breakfast while making small talk. Kurenai told Hinata when this Naruto seduction plan was over, one way or the other, she would aid in teaching Hinata a couple of new jutsu. Specifically, a powerful one known as Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Mirrors, which she would enlist Neji to help her with.
After they finished their food, Kurenai began speaking to Hinata about what they would do today to win Naruto over. "Phase two is all about tapping into the interest Naruto has in you and increasing his lust" Kurenai explained "like watering a young flower that has sprung from the same seed you planted last night. Understand?"
Hinata nodded. "So, how are we going to make him l-like me sensei?" Hinata asked, she had feeling she may not like the answer
"Well, wearing loose and short clothing around him will definitely help, but just that alone won't work" Kurenai replied, "probably the best option would be to train with him. Try to show off your cleavage and butt a lot, by way of leaping and high kicks. And falling down dramatically a few times will get him to help you up, and that gives him clear sight of your bust"
Hinata nodded. She was surprised at how… different her sensei was when she was like this. Hinata NEVER would have thought she would act this way a week ago, heck, even two days ago to see her acting so strange would have made her eyes bug out of her head.
"Now Hinata, I have one last thing to ask," Kurenai said, laying her hands over Hinata's and staring into her eyes "this will sound strange and maybe a bit scary, but you need to tell me so I know what to do and how to plan our next move"
"I t-trust you sensei," Hinata said, all the possibilities of what Kurenai might say flying through her mind at light speed.
"How far do you want to go with Naruto?" Kurenai asked. Hinata gasped and her hand touched her lips ever so slightly. This was one of the possibilities that had crossed her mind but she had dismissed it in a microsecond, never thinking Kurenai-sensei of all people would ask such a question. Hinata could understand if her, Ino, Sakura and Tenten were all playing truth or dare, and it was all for fun, but Kurenai really meant this.
"Ah, well I um… I w-wanted…" Hinata tripped over her words like someone on crutches walking on a slippery mountain slope, and her face turned the same color as Kurenai's eyes. "Well, I've l-loved him since w-we were kids" Hinata said again "A-are you sure you want to know?"
Kurenai looked deep into Hinata's white eyes and nodded. "Hinata, its okay" Kurenai said "I'll never tell anyone else, and this is all just between student and sensei"
That statement gave Hinata the courage to speak again. "I-I want to spend the rest of m-my life with Naruto" Hinata confessed, her eyes beginning to feel the tears "I truly, d-deeply love him. I've admired his confidence since the first d-day I met him, and I've been in l-love with him for years now, but I can never w-work up the c-courage to confess to him"
A tear rolled down Hinata's perfect face, and Kurenai tilted her chin up towards her. "I understand Hinata" Kurenai smiled again, bringing light to Hinata's world. "That's what I thought you might say, and I am going to help you and Naruto. I can see that you truly love him, and I think when he see's that, he will fall in love with you, Hinata"
Hinata's face lit up like a Christmas light that had been plugged in. Kurenai really thought they could be together, and she was going to help her achieve her goal and win Naruto's heart. "Oh, t-thank you Kurenai-sensei" Hinata said happily. She felt like crying again but there was no need. Kurenai knew how thankful she was, and someday, she would repay her sensei for all that she had done for her student.
Kurenai let go of Hinata's hand and started talking about how they would spend their day making a certain blonde-haired boy finally see Hinata the way she saw him.
Naruto's POV
Naruto yawned sleepily. What a night he had, one of his friends being kidnapped, seeing her over half naked, and then not being allowed to tell anyone about it. Although truth be told, even if Kurenai hadn't told him to keep quiet he never would have told anyone anyway, except maybe Sakura. That Hinata had nearly been raped and/or killed wasn't exactly something you told the entire village.
Naruto lugged himself out of bed and pulled off his nightcap. He splashed some water on his face in the bathroom, brushed his teeth and poured himself a bowl of cereal (he made sure to check the expiration date on the milk first). As he ate his cereal, he remembered how Hinata looked last night in her bra and panties; he nearly made love to her when he saw her.
Naruto felt his member turn stiff at the thought of Hinata in that little outfit. He touched himself through his pants lightly and felt a throb of pleasure. He had never noticed how astoundingly hot Hinata looked, since she was always in the same outfit that covered up everything Naruto had seen last night.
Naruto moved to his bed and dropped his pajama bottoms, revealing his seven-inch manhood. He had never masturbated before, but he did know how. After all, 99.98% of all boys his age knew how to masturbate, and when he was at the ninja academy, the boys there didn't only talk about jutsu and becoming shinobi.
Naruto lay down on his bed and thought about Hinata's kiss last night and seeing her bust through her bra. His member stood up in seconds and he took it in his hand, moving up and down its length, rubbing the head of it with his thumb. He moaned softly and went faster, imagining Hinata in the outfit she was in last night jacking him off.
Three minutes hadn't gone by until Naruto climaxed for the first time in his life, spewing the semen from the head of his member. Naruto fell back on the pillow, panting. He wouldn't have guessed masturbating would be so exhausting, he would only be able to climax a few times before he expended all his energy for the day.
Suddenly, in his mind's eye, Naruto was transported to what appeared to be a boiler room. The floor was wet and flooded an inch, and water dripped from long, twisting metal pipes that ran across the ceiling as far as the eye could see. The entire area had a feeling of despair to it, and the air felt heavy and humid as Naruto breathed it in. Naruto already knew where he was, and he didn't like it one bit.
He walked forward into the one and only entrance. It wasn't long before he saw what he dreaded; a massive, locked cage door with a piece of paper stuck to the lock. The paper said only one word: Seal. Naruto gulped and wondered what this thing could possibly want with him, and why he had been drawn here after having his first orgasm.
Then, two huge, menacing red eyes stood out from the blackness behind the cage door, and a deep and deathly voice rang out, splitting the silence of the room like a knife.
"So, Naruto…" the fox spoke slowly "You have fallen for this girl…"
Naruto shook his head vigorously. "No! I haven't 'fallen' for her you stinking fox!" he yelled angrily at the demon "I just think she looks pretty! That's all!"
The fox laughed, a sound that made even the bravest of men shiver in fear. "Do not fool yourself, Naruto," the fox said, its twisted, sadistic grin becoming pronounced in the shadows of its cage "I know all that you do, and I know the recesses of your mind even better then you… You DO love this girl, I can see it in your mind…"
Naruto shook with anger. How could this demonic, overgrown kitten know ANYTHING about the difference between love and infatuation? All the Nine-Tails had ever caused was death and destruction, so how could it know a single thing about something so complicated as love.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME FOX?" Naruto yelled at it furiously. Whenever he spoke with this abomination inside him, he became furious very quickly.
The Nine-Tails chuckled again, the sound resonating of the walls and shaking Naruto to his core. "I want nothing…" It said innocently, even though with its voice it was hard to sound innocent "I find it amusing that someone such as you could fall in love with a female like her…"
"What do you mean, someone such as me?" Naruto asked, his fist shaking at the cleverly disguised insult the fox had said about Hinata.
"All I am going to say is this, Naruto…" the fox said, it's massive muzzle leaning close to the bars that kept it in check "Watch this one you have fallen for… I sense that she is not what she seems…"
The scene around Naruto dissipated, and he found himself back on his bed, strangely with his pants back on and the, mess, he had made completely clean. Thoughts raced through his head; why did the fox express such an interest in Hinata? And why did it say she was not what she seemed? Hinata was the most honest person Naruto had ever met, and he saw no reason that she would lie to him.
Naruto pulled on his jumpsuit, attached his ninja tools to his belt and took off in the direction of the forest to do some training. As he zoomed along the rooftops towards training field #56, he thought of Hinata again. What would he say to her after what happened last night? And more importantly, what would SHE say?
A/N: Okay, I was going to make this one whole chapter, but it would have been WAY too long, so I thought here was a good time to stop. To all the girls out there, sorry the masturbation scene was so short, I'm writing this at one in the morning, so I don't have a lot of energy. Anyway, I'm gonna get some Z's, you enjoy the next chapter!
