Hinata couldn't help but smile happily as she watched Naruto cook, his joyous laughter filling the room as he prepared for her what he proclaimed to be 'The best meal she'd ever enjoy'.
Waiting for his laughter to die a bit, Hinata calmly asked, "Well due tell Naruto-kun; if you do get your wish how many would you like to have?"
"Do you even need to ask Hime?" Naruto smiled as he turned his neck to the side to glance as the beautiful woman who stood at the island of his kitchen, "As many as possible. I'll move outta this one bedroom apartment and buy a giant house. Maybe get a few animals; hell; I'd let that mangy fox come live with me if he wanted. Just as long as they were happy, I think I'd have a pretty good set up in life".
"And what would you name all these children?" Hinata asked, truly amused to see Naruto's smile as he thought of the idea of kids, "You can't just name them all Naruto Jr. ya know?"
Naruto let out another laugh as he completely turned away from the stove, looking into the gentle pools of lavender that looked at him tenderly, "I suppose not all of them….maybe just the first few".
It was now Hinata's turn to laugh as she listened.
The sound of her soothing laughter made the blond man smile, his eyes taking in her form as she gently giggled.
"I think you'll be a great father someday Naruto-kun…." Hinata softly said as she looked across the small kitchen island at the man.
Giving the woman a sheepish laugh, Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he laughed.
'BOOM'
Hinata jumped slightly as the loud sound of thunder impacted outside; slightly making her heart beat harder.
"Wow" Naruto said as he looked out his kitchen window, "I still can't believe it started to get so bad right as we got here".
"I guess we got lucky" Hinata nodded also looking outside at the dark sky, watching rain fall quickly.
The two had spent the majority of the day together, walking around the beautiful city of Konoha. With the goal of picking up ingredients for their dinner, the two decided to do a bit of wandering and found themselves all over the place.
After visiting the city orphanage, the two had made their way back to Naruto's; only to discover a massive storm right as they stepped in his door.
"Don't worry yourself Hime" Naruto smiled as he noticed her stare wandering through the night, "If we need to, I can break down the couch and build a fire. Wouldn't want you to get cold now".
"I suppose you could do that" Hinata smiled, her eyes flashing over the clock to see that it was already 7:37.
"That or I guess I can find an old hoodie or something. I know how much you use to love wearing my jackets" Naruto said turning back towards the food, stirring the soup he was currently cooking. It was after all, Hinata's favorite; and he didn't want to mess it up.
"They were always so warm though" Hinata groaned as she looked at the man's back, "Plus…you never wore them…you were always so warm".
"That is true…" Naruto said as he turned off the burner on his over, "Plus I wanted you to be warm. Couldn't have you being chilly all the time. What kind of guy would allow that".
"If only I could go back and tell you how much I loved seeing you in my stuff…." Naruto couldn't help but think somewhat bitterly as he remembered her body close to his, gently snuggling together as she absorbed his warmth.
"Did you hear me Naruto-kun?"
"Huh?" Naruto asked, turning back towards the woman, "What was that Hime?"
"I said I'm going to set the table" her smile caused him to frown as she continued, "Call me when it's time to bring the food in".
Naruto watched her walk through the kitchen door, and with a sigh; turned back towards the food.
"I can't mess up this time…no matter what".
"I may have to buy a bigger dress after a meal like that" Hinata said quietly as she gently rubbed her now full tummy. Once again, Naruto had managed to out due himself in making one of the best meals she'd ever eaten. "I might have to go on a diet" she muttered as she lay back on the couch.
"Don't kid yourself Princess" Naruto laughed as he sat next to the woman as she slowly closed her eyes with a smile, "You look amazing, and I'll be damned if I hear anything about you going on a diet".
"That's easy for you to say Naruto-kun" Hinata pouted as she looked over at the man, lips pulled upward, "Not all of us can stay in shape even if we eat ramen all day".
"No, not everyone can" Naruto said, turning towards the woman as he sat somewhat sideways on his couch with a serious look on his face, "Or maybe…that's my secrete!"
"Oh my" Hinata giggled as she too turned on her side, the two now staring into each other's eyes.
"I told you there was a reason I love the stuff so much" Naruto smiled.
Hinata couldn't help but blush at their close proximity as she stared at the blonde's dazzling smile.
"A-Are you sure you want me to stay?" Hinata asked quietly as she felt Naruto's hand take hold of her own, gently squeezing as he interlocked their fingers.
"You couldn't pay me to let you go out in this weather, especially with how late it is now…" Naruto responded as he gently rubbed her soft small hand in his own.
"Does this mean I get to listen to you tell scary stories all night while I cover my head?" Hinata asked as she enjoyed the feeling of his rough hands in her own.
Feeling the woman give him a light squeeze, Naruto nodded as he said, "If that's what you want Hime".
"Most people would consider a married woman sleeping in the same bed as a bachelor a bit ludicrous Naruto-kun" she gently whispered as she pushed herself forward, allowing him to wrap his arms around her as she nuzzled into his chest.
She listened as he snorted and felt his strong arms hold her tightly as he whispered, "Since when have I ever cared what people thought?"
Hinata couldn't help but smile into the man's shirt, inhaling as much of his scent as she could. "I know Naruto-kun…it one of the many things I've always loved about you" he soft voice mouthed quietly.
"Yeah….I think you may be the only one that does love that about me" she heard him respond.
It was silent for a few moments, and Naruto honestly knew he could live like this for the rest of his life. He could just make out the sweet scent of her lavender shampoo, and he realized just how jealous he was of Kiba.
"He cheated on me"
"Huh" Naruto's eyes shot open quickly as he took in what he'd just heard. Slowly unwrapping his arms from the woman, he gently grasped her shoulders and pulled himself away.
"W-What did you j-just say?" Hinata watched Naruto ask, his eyes wide and his words somewhat shaky.
Refusing to break down once again, Hinata nodded slowly as she said, "I-It's been happening for a while…"
She waited of a response, but one never came as Naruto suddenly jumped up from the couch, somewhat catching her by surprise.
"W-Where are you going?" she asked desperately as she watched the man walk towards the door, throwing it open and allowing the howling wind to enter the room.
"I'm gonna go do something I should have done a long, long time ago" Naruto said, his voice dangerously low as he reached for his jacket on the coat rack, "I'm gonna go to your house, and beat the shit out of that no good mutt. I can take some insults and shit; but I'll die before I let anyone, especially him hurt you!"
Hinata was quick to her feet as Naruto left, the door slamming behind him.
"N-Naruto-kun!"
It didn't take him long to get to Hinata's house; after all, both wanted to live somewhat close to each other.
He could have driven, but knew that driving a giant metal car with how angry he was wouldn't be a good idea.
He arrived quickly, his body soaking wet; his jacket giving him little protection against the harsh rain.
He stood in front of the wooden door, trying his best to catch his breath as he thought about what he was about to do.
His thoughts came to a stop as he read the doormat under his feet.
'Welcome to the Inuzuka's'
"Oh" Naruto growled as he looked back up at the door, "I feel fucking welcome".
Naruto knew mentally he was a coward; he'd come to terms with it a long time ago. No matter what anyone told him, he could never forgive himself for allowing another man to take what he loved. He understood that though he couldn't show how he truly felt all the time, he could physically project himself, and he was about to do so.
The door easily flew open after a swift kick, and the dripping blonde quickly entered, automatically making his way to the staircase.
"Down the hall" Naruto muttered bitterly as he made his way up, "Third door on the right. That's their fucking room!"
After he finished transcending the stairs he quickly took off his jacket, leaving him in his jet black wet shirt and soaked jeans.
He could see light coming from under the door to their bedroom; and with another growl, kicked the door off its hinges.
The motion on the bed came to a quick halt as the two saw the door fly to the ground in a loud crash.
The woman quickly let out a scream and covered herself as she tried to hid from the tall blond who stepped through the now open door way.
"Naruto?" Kiba questioned, confusion on his face as he jumped from the bed, body only glad in boxers, "What the fuck are you doing here?"
Instead of getting an answer, both man and woman watched as Naruto cracked his neck, a look of absolute disgust on his face.
"At least now I know it's true" was all Naruto said before full out rushing at Kiba, tackling him to the ground in a loud bang.
"Mffmmmm" Kiba struggled under the wet blond, only to mutter out a quick 'shit' as he felt Naruto's large fist collide with his head.
"You dirty fucking bastard!" Naruto exclaimed as he sent another right hook directly into Kiba's face, happy to hear something crack under his hand.
"GET OFF OF HIM" a shrill voice screamed from his side as Naruto felt someone try to pull him off the now woozy Kiba.
He turned towards the owner of the voice and quickly felt himself becoming even sicker with the whole situation.
He quickly ripped his arm away from the girl and sent her tumbling to the ground, her naked body falling to the floor.
"How long have you been cheating on her you fucking mutt!" Naruto all but screamed as he grabbed the downed man by the throat.
"T-This is the firs…." Kiba was cut off by another hard punch as Naruto sent another mind numbingly hard punch to his temple.
"You no good fucking liar. You piece of shit!" Naruto couldn't control himself at this point as he raised the dazed man's head from the wood floor, "Y-You were supposed to be the one to treat her right for god's sake! I FUCKING TRUSTED YOU!"
Before Naruto could bring his fist down for another punch, he felt a sharp pain rip through his right arm and he was pulled off Kiba's body.
He hissed as he looked at the snarling dog now attached to his right arm; Akumaru's teeth ripping through his flesh.
Before he could do anything about the dog attached to his arm, a fist impacted on the top of his skull.
"BREAK INTO MY FUCKING HOUSE WILL YA?"
Naruto barley managed to roll out of the way as a kick aimed for his head quickly swung by. With as much self control as he could muster, Naruto ripped his arm out of the dog's mouth, leaving his arm extremely bitted up.
He could feel water and blood dripping from as he caught Kiba's foot and with all his strength swung the brown haired man onto the ground, one again pushing the man's body down.
"How dare you try to even defend yourself you motherfucker!" Naruto yelled as he pushed his bloody arm against Kiba's throat, pushing the air from his mouth.
"I always knew I was a piece of shit! I always knew I never deserved her! I truly thought you could do better; I wanted to believe you could make her life somewhat fucking better! SHE'S DELT WITH ENOUGH ALREADY; A FUCKING ASSHOLE CHEATER WASN'T NEEDED! YOU WERE SUPPSED TO FUCKING LOVE HER THE WAY SHE DESERVES!"
Before Naruto finish, Akumaru's large body tackled him off his master.
Naruto couldn't help but clench his fist as he looked up into the eyes of the huge dog that was currently pinning him down, his mouth drawn up in a dangerous snarl.
Just as Akumaru's mouth snapped open; a soft voice rang throughout the room, "Akumaru….get off of him now".
Everyone in the room looked towards the door.
Hinata slowly strolled into the room, the dripping umbrella in her hand dangling from her wrist.
"H-Hinata" Kiba stuttered as he looked at his wife, and back towards Tamaki; then towards Hinata once again.
"Tamaki-san…." Hinata's voice called lowly as she stared at Kiba, her features dangerously calm, "You want him so much…take him".
"H-Huh?" Both Tamaki and Kiba said as they stared at the dark haired woman.
Choosing to ignore them both, Hinata said, "Akumaru, get off of him now!"
Naruto let out an easy breath as the dog absently removed himself from his chest; obeying Hinata.
"Naruto-kun" he heard Hinata almost whispered as she looked down at him, her eyes widening as she looked at his arm.
Naruto slowly stood, his eyes quickly resting on Kiba, amused by the bruised and bloated face he'd let on the man.
"If you ever go near her again….I'll fucking kill you, you mutt" Naruto said as he looked at the man, "I swear on my life…I will never let you hurt her again. That's a promise!"
Kiba looked towards the ground, choosing to stay quiet and Naruto turned towards the door, holding his arm as he made his way towards Hinata.
"I…." Naruto began as he stepped up to her, only for Hinata to turn away and begin making her way back down the hall.
"H-Hinata…"Naruto weakly whispered as he slowly began to walk forward.
The drive home was quiet, eerily too quiet. Naruto held his wet jacket to his arm, trying his best to stop the bleeding as Hinata drove his car in silence, her eyes staying on the road.
Once they'd arrived, Hinata quickly exited the vehicle. Naruto followed sadly as they made their way into his home. He watched Hinata walk into his restroom and heard her start the shower. He waited patiently for her to step out and when she did he heard her.
"Y-You have to get in the shower before you catch a cold…."
Naruto nodded as he stepped into the bathroom, gently shutting the door behind him.
He quickly got undressed and walked into his bathroom. It was a very large room, big enough for five people. In true Naruto fashion he had a mini bathhouse built to impress people.
As he gently sat in the hot water, the steam filling the air; he couldn't help but feel like the most pathetic person on earth.
All the adrenalin had left his system and he had time to actually reflect on what he'd just done.
He'd literally broken into a house and beat the occupants up.
He was surprised the police weren't already at his house waiting for him.
What worried him even more was how calm and quiet Hinata had been.
"She must be feeling so bad already. I just made it so much fucking worse by doing that stupid shit" Naruto angrily muttered as he gripped his hair with his left hand.
He looked over at his chewed up arm and with a snort said, "I deserve so much worse".
"Don't say that"
Naruto quickly turned towards the door, his eyes widening at the sight.
Hinata stood through the steam, the towel that covered her body gently being held by her tiny hand.
"W-What?" Naruto asked only for Hinata to step into the hot room, closing the door behind her.
Naruto's quickly shut his eyes right as he watched Hinata's hand let go of her towel.
"H-Hinata….what're you doing" Naruto asked nervously as he backed up against the fake rocks of the tub.
He could hear another body enter the water and felt himself begin to sweat in the steam.
He knew full well that he intended to make Hinata his tonight, but now that something like this was happening; he couldn't help but feel a bit lost.
"I need to see your arm Naruto-kun…" he heard her gentle voice say from his left.
"Y-You need to get out o-of here Hime…" Naruto muttered as he kept his head down, and eyes closed, "T-This…."
"Open your eyes Naruto-kun" he heard Hinata whisper soothingly, this time her voice was much closer to him.
"B-But you're" He was about to argue only to feel a soft hand touch his cheek, gently rubbing him.
"Just please open your eyes" he heard Hinata say, and this time; he gulped reluctantly and did as he was told.
The sight he was met with was one of the upmost perfection, something he'd seen a million times in his dreams.
Her skin was milky white, and so soft he didn't know if touching her with his rough hands would even been appropriate. She was way curvier than any woman he'd ever been with before, and he couldn't help but travel his eyes down he body till the water met her navel. He quickly looked away as he caught a glimpse of her breast; not wanting to sully her with his eyes.
"I want you to look at me Naruto-kun" she gently whispered as she cupped his cheek, bringing his face to her level.
Naruto looked into the woman's eyes, his breath somewhat breaking as she smiled at him with one of her beautiful smiles.
"I-I'm so sorry…." He broke quietly as he shook his head.
He felt Hinata's rest against his naked chest and with a gasp was pulled against her.
"Stop apologizing…" he heard her mutter.
The room was silent for a moment as Naruto tried his best to not rub against the woman in a way that would cause any friction.
"I…." Hinata's voice started, only to go quiet once again as she whispered, "I heard everything to Kiba, Naruto-kun".
"What…" Naruto said as his eyes went wide, recalling everything he had screamed in Kiba's face.
"I've watched for years as you struggled with being alone, all the while silently watching me. You're loud, sometimes crude, and very hot headed".
Naruto couldn't even try to defend himself as he listened to the woman who was currently holding him name his many faults.
"Even with all that; I've always loved you" Naruto's eyes went wide,"And I've always wanted to stand by your side and be around you; even if I couldn't do so as your partner. I asked you a long time ago if I should marry another man, and you told me that if he made me happy, I should. I was lying when I said yes. I was lying when I gave him a kiss on our wedding night, and I was lying every day after that. I know you were lying to yourself somewhat too, and I can forgive that".
Naruto felt the tear in his eyes begin to build as Hinata pushed away from him, letting him now see her. Her large; gorgeous eyes were red and puffy, tears welling up as she looked up at him, "But I can't forgive you for what I heard you say to Kiba. I will never forgive you for the fact that you think I'm in any way too good for you Naruto Uzumaki. I'm disgusted just thinking about that even being a possibility".
Naruto could only watched the woman rub her eyes, as she said, "You've made me happy from day one, weather you knew it or not. I never needed Kiba or anyone else for that, and I wish we would've realized that a long time ago. I love you Naruto Uzumaki, and I have my whole life. I'm so tired of living a lie where I pretend to be happy without you knowing how I feel".
Hinata watched Naruto's blue, teary eyes widen as she finished, and waited for his response.
She didn't have to wait all but ten seconds as Naruto suddenly swopped her up in his arms, crashing his lips against her own.
"I'm so sorry" he cried as he pulled away, tears now slowly falling from his oceanic eyes, "I'm so sorry…you deserve more than I could've ever imagined being able to give. I've loved you since I could remember. All the way back to when I was dorky little kid to today; as the pathetic man I am now".
Before he could finish, Hinata caught his lips with her own. It was the only kiss; both could say they've had that shared love.
"I don't want to be away from you anymore!" Hinata wept as she pulled away, looking at him.
Naruto could only nod as he hugged her body close to his own, kissing her with all his might.
"You won't….I swear on my life; I refuse to ever let you go again. I promise you that I'll love you ever day, until we're old and gray. I promise I will never doubt myself with you again, and I will bring you all the happiness you need".
Hinata stared into his eyes, watching them cry; for her.
"I want to marry you Hinata….I want your last name to be Uzumaki, and I want us to have all those kids we talked about. I want them to be named Naruto and Hinata Jr. and I never wanna think about anything but a life with you again".
Hinata couldn't help the tears that were now flowing heavily from her opal eyes.
"I'm willing to do whatever it takes" she heard him say as he looked down at her.
Hinata nodded as she looked up, and gave the man the most beautiful smile she could muster, "M-Me too!"
