Naruto opened his eyes a lot later. He had been lying somewhat a little uncomfortably listening to voices he recognised. He had been listening to them talk and laugh. The breeze playing across his face but warm at the same time. He could tell by the flickering unevenness of the light behind his eyelids that it was night time now but the fire was ablaze. He had been intent on lying there asleep for a little while longer but Hinata's tinkering laugh had made him aware where he was and what he had been lying on. The smell of blossoms had kept him intent for a while that he was at home and it was spring. But if he was lying slightly cold and slightly uncomfortable in the forest then why could he smell the blossoms.
Naruto sat up maybe a little too fast for he felt light headed and rather dizzy and almost fell back again. He was lying beside the camp fire with the girls chatting either side of him. Sakura watching Hinata admiringly and asking something about sewing which Naruto had no idea about. Hinata was smiling back at Sakura unaware that Naruto was up. She had in her hands a needle and thread and Naruto's clothes.
"AHHH MY CLOTHES" Naruto looked down at his body. Luckily enough they had decided to let him keep his boxers on but still they could have covered him up. It was then he realised the blanket next to him. He grabbed for it and threw it over him self. He was effulged by the smell of blossoms and sweet flowers most of which he could identify for they were local Konoha flowers which he had at one point grown himself. He poked his head out of the top of the blankets and looked around properly.
The blanket wrapped around him and the pillow which had been placed under his head as he slept were not his own. He knew from many camping missions with Sakura that they were not hers either. He concluded that due to there smell and softness they must be Hinata's. He tightened it around himself without the others noticing. "ah… Naruto-kun, we tried covering you up but you kept throwing the blankets off." Naruto knew he never slept with blankets if he could help it he allowed him self to relax a little. The blankets opened a little to show some of his well toned chest. Hinata's eyes slid down a little to look. She had been gazing at him most of the night much to Sakura's amusement. But now he was awake it seemed to be more of an attraction. As if her eyes were glued to him and she couldn't look away.
Watching Hinata carefully as the light of the fire danced between them. He could tell she was staring. She bit her lip softly. Dam it she's done this before. He remembered the fateful night on which he watched her imagining maybe something slightly naughty and remembered the thoughts which went with it. Maybe it was him she was dreaming about. God dam it she looked enticing sitting there like that. He suddenly realised he must be staring back. He looked to the floor with embarrassment and caught a glimpse at the inside of the blankets. Tightening them around himself further and rather hastily he ran to his own tent whilst talking to Hinata.
"Arigato Hinata-chan, er… i…" he realised whilst looking for his cloths that Hinata still had them. He poked his head round the tent. "er… Hinata… when you finished could you just bring them in here for me… huh??... arigato Hinata-chan."
Hinata sat by the fire going very red which had nothing to do with the heat radiating from it. Had he realised she was staring… oh no... now she had blown it. She looked down at the clothes she had repaired. She looked up to see Sakura smiling at her. Sakura looked around and shuffled up very close. She leaned inwards and whispered in Hinata's ear. Grin still plastered to her face. She whispered very slowly at first pronouncing every syllable. "Hi-na-ta chan… in-vi-ted to na-ru-tos tent." Hinata gasped and fell backwards off her log but before she could sit up Sakura had placed her legs either side of Hinata and bent low over her so her face was so close it could be touching hinatas. Had Naruto walked out of the tent he would have thought they were involved in a Lesbian act. Unluckily for Naruto and his imagination however he stayed in his tent trying to get rid of a more then pronounced erection.
Sakura was bent close to Hinata face and whispered quick instructions into her ear. Hinata was stony faced and gasped at parts. She shook her head over and over again in disbelief in the things which her friend said to her. Sakura sat up so she was sat straddled over Hinata. She pulled the chopsticks out of her hair and threw them aside. Even Hinata had to admit it was sexy. She bent low forward and unzipped Hinata coat down to the middle of her stomach. She sat up to admire the effect but then seemed to change her mind. She unzipped the rest of the coat and took it off. She pulled out a kunai blade and tore Hinata's top in the most convenient of places. "Sakura I cant.." Sakura put her hand over Hinata's mouth and whispered something else in her ear. She sat back up on the log and peered down at Hinata. God she looked hot… oh yeah. She retrieved her chopsticks and helped Hinata to her feet she put Hinata's hair up loosely into a kind of messy bun. She whispered more instructions into Hinata's ear and to her surprise Hinata nodded defiantly.
Hinata had found some of Sakura's things downright rude and completely NOT what she would do. She found them shocking that Sakura could think of things like that. But this was it. Sakura was right. Hinata wasn't a little girl anymore and she would do anything to get with Naruto. And the more she thought of it the more her mind fought with its self. The rational part telling her it was stupid and how many things could go wrong, but the part of her mind she loved the most. The part she had fashioned on Naruto told her to go for it. What the worst that could happen? This is it she would do everything Sakura told her to do.
Naruto sat exhausted in his tent. He couldn't get rid of his erection by usual methods. Not when Hinata was due to give him back his clothes. What if she had come in half way through. No he had had to exhaust himself by other means till his body was too tired to maintain it. Maybe letting his chakra flood out was a little OTT though because now he was completely helpless if an attack came. He heard the tent unzip slowly. He could feel his heart beating hard against his chest. He saw Hinata's head appear in the gap. Her hair was up and she had taken her heavy coat off. He didn't like her hair up but she seemed to realise this. She crawled in and zipped the front back up. She looked at him and smiled.
God this better work… I feel stupid already. She slowly put her hand to her head and pulled the chopsticks out releasing her hair and shaking her head slowly to let it fall back into place. Why had she zipped up the tent… was she planning on staying… god it was like a bizarre dream… maybe it was… well hell he wasn't waking up from this one. He tried to move but found himself frozen to the spot. She slowly crawled over to him bent over low and whispered in his ear. "I have your clothes… if you want them… Na-ru-to-kun." Naruto brought his hand slowly up behind her head. He clencthed and unclenched his fist. He wanted to grab her and make love to her. He didn't want to hurt her though. He wanted to taste her. He could feel his erection coming back. Dammit this thing had endless energy. He forced himself to sit up and look into her eyes. She sat up fixing him with a sexy stare. It was an "I want you" stare mixed with innocence. She sat her legs curled around herself leaning forward on one hand. Almost ready to pounce if she needed to. God he couldn't take it anymore. "Hinata…I…I…" he could feel the heat rising in his cheeks. He couldn't tell her like this. Fuck it he thought. Ill just jump on her in moment if I don't calm down. I have to explain how I feel. He looked back up at her. "Hinata… I…I…." before he had time to finish the sentence she had started to crawl back up to him. She crawled directly over him sliding herself up him. Pressing her body into his as she went. Finally she was face to face with him. Looking at him. He looked shocked… what if this isn't what he wants… she thought … what if he doesn't like me.
Naruto could see when she was this close. He could tell by her eyes how she felt. He could never tell what people were thinking. This must be a dream. But she looked a little scared. He put his head close to hers "it's ok" he whispered. She seemed to melt in his arms. He pulled her close and absorbed her warmth. He turned her and himself onto their sides so they were facing each other. She still looked scared. Damn he was scared himself. He pulled his hand up to her face and stroked her hair out of it. As he went to withdraw his hand she grabbed it and held it to her face a little longer. She had dreamed of this moment for so long. She closed her eyes and breathed his scent. She fidgeted closer till their bodies were touching again. Pressed up to one another breathing heavily even though they had only moved inches to reach each other.
Naruto's hand slid down her back and pulled her closer still, until they were so close she could hardly breath. He rolled her over and leant over her body. She felt exposed by her altered top. But then again Naruto was still mostly naked. His chest pressed down upon hers and she could feel his erection pressing upon her. She was aching back for him. She was almost throbbing with this new sensation. "If this is a dream…" he whispered into her ear "then let's make the most of it… but if this isn't a dream…god please tell me it isn't." Hinata never got the chance to answer the question. He grabbed her hair and pressed his lips upon hers. His excitement got the better of him, he was being quite rough. She wasn't sure if she liked it or not. It gave her a whole new sensation. That's it. She gave as good as she got. He was over powering her. Gasping for breath she let a high pitched soft scream escape her.
Oh god. He was hurting her. He rolled off her quickly and backed a little away. But now she was on him. Over powering him. She pressed her soft lips over his body and neck, then kissed his lips again. She let her tongue slid into his mouth showing him she wanted more. He parted his lips and let her take him. She took him to places he could never have even imagined. Just by kissing her and feeling her body by his. He felt like he was about to explode. She effulged him with softness he had never felt in his life. As she kissed his lips softly and gentle he seemed to melt with her, his hands wandered over the rest of her body. Up her legs and in her hair. He brought his hands up and started fingering the straps of her top. He slid one down her shoulder and felt her tense beneath him.
No. it was too soon. Even he tensed as he did it, she stopped kissing him and looked down at him. She looked scared again. His hands were shaking as he pulled the strap back over her shoulder. She sat up and looked across at him. They were both breathing heavily. Looking at each other. He tried looking into her eyes but his kept wandering. Her breasts were massive, her legs long and slender, her hair a mess… a sexy mess. His mind running wild with ideas with what he would like to do to her.
She looked right into Naruto's eyes. She watched him with his eyes all over her, she felt conscious of her body. He couldn't seem to look into her eyes back. She felt this dead weight fall through her lungs and settle in her stomach. This small voice in her head was nagging at her as she watched him sub-consciously lick his lips and his breathing hurrying up. She tried with all her will power not to listen to this voice growing louder all the time in her head until finally it shouted at her almost make her jump. It certainly made her bite her lip to hold back the tears. "He doesn't love you" it said "he only wants to have sex with you because you lead him on, you made yourself easy. A cheap slut. You wanted him so much you forgot what you wanted him for. You want him to love you not to just MAKE love to you."
It was Sakura's scream that drew them apart. Hinata was out the tent first even though she was furthest from the door. Anything to hide the mounting tears. She ran towards the scream a little through the woods tears streaking down her face as she went and the sound of Naruto's foot falls close behind. Wiping her eyes with the back of her hand she drew herself into position whilst running "byakugan" She poured her eyes through the woods looking for a glimpse of Sakura "over there" she pointed "she has two men surrounding her. One has her held back" Naruto sped up and streaked past Hinata. He was still in his boxers only and ran full pelt over the undergrowth and thorns with bare feet.
When Hinata finally caught up Sakura was sitting with her back to a tree looking scared. She grabbed Hinata's wrist as she went to run past to aid Naruto. Hinata looked down at sakura shocked "Hinata" she croaked in a scared unusually high-pitched voice. "Don't go there, please. Stay here. He's angry." Hinata looked at Sakura's face. She had never seen her this scared. She looked into the clearing and saw with her clans unique eyes a chakra shape so large and bright it almost blinded her. She shielded her eyes and took a step back. She had to save him. Before he went too far. Even if he didn't love her she loved him. She shook Sakura's hand from her wrist and ignored her call back screams as she continued the run towards Naruto's heavy shape.
Naruto stood in a small clearing heaving for breath completely and utterly. A huge red chakra seen even by a normal eye surrounded him. Although the bodies lay motionless around him, one of them in pieces, he still continued to glare at the trees as though daring one to move. The 3 tails of his enormous chakra swished violently as a breeze rustled the leaves. He turned slowly and fixed Hinata with a stare of his evil red eyes. Hinata knew she mustn't show fear, but still she stepped forward cautiously. She moved right up till she could feel the heat from his chakra. She stood for a while watching him as he span about checking the area, smelling it as Kiba would have done. He swivelled sharply in Hinata's direction and moved quickly closer to her. He sniffed around her making her sweat with fear and the heat radiating from him. He narrowed his eyes at her and growled under his breath slightly. She shut her eyes tight.
"Naruto-kun I, I… I don't know whether you can hear me still… or whether your out of control of your body completely. But…but.. I …. I… I LOVE YOU!" she breathed almost as heavily as him, as heavy as If she too had actually fought. But of course, she had. She had fought with herself to hide the truth for so long, why she had chosen this moment even she didn't know. It just felt right. She opened her eyes and felt the cool breeze on her cheek. She noticed the red glow dimming and watched Naruto's body relax and sway slightly. She rushed forwards and put a hand gently on the small of his back to steady him. He stumbled forwards on to her, his arm falling around her, behind her neck. His legs gave way.
Hinata held him up for a while before slowly collapsing to her knees under his weight. She laid him down on the ground and looked at him, his eyes were shut, he was dirty and is hair a mess. She moved quickly checking him over for cuts and bruises, luckily she had her medical pouch on her still which was small enough to carry everywhere in her pocket. She used the pouch of cream on his small cuts, reminding herself to replenish it back at camp. She was amazed at the healing speed of his ailments. She used a small antiseptic wet wipe to clean some of the grazed parts of his skin and his face. She slowly pushed his hair up out of his eyes and looked at him.
She played with his hair for a little while surprised as she had been before when she had undressed him how soft it was. This time she had time to play with it whilst Sakura calmed down a bit. She was playing with his hair (now pulling his bangs down into a natural position in-front of his face deciding this was definitely cuter) with her other hand she was softly stroking his stomach where the cursed seal mark had been moments before so dark… now slowly disappearing. A small smile flittered across his face. She brought up her hand from his mark and put it to his face (the other still in his hair) he squirmed slightly uncomfortable and she went to take her hand away from his face but he put his to hers to keep it there. He opened his eyes and smiled at her.
"I could tell it was you." He stroked her hair which had fallen over her shoulder and hovering near his face. He breathed deeply and slowly tried to lift his head. "No Naruto-kun stay still just for a little while longer." She had given him the chance he wanted. She had let go of him momentarily which gave him the chance to grab her. He used all his remaining strength to pull her by her waist towards his body and throw her on top of himself. She melted into him once more almost instantly noticing how soft his body was and comfortable even though it was so toned.
She placed her head on his shoulder and he nuzzled her hair a little breathing in its scent. "Hinata-chan" he whispered she looked up at him as he smiled at her… he was falling into a deep sleep… "Hinata-chan… I …. I … I love you too." He smiled weakly at her and fell almost motionless into sleep, the only way you could tell he was alive was by the steady rise and fall of his chest.
Sakura helped Hinata carry Naruto back to the tents where they made him comfortable and sat around the fire themselves, not speaking for a very long time. Finally Sakura broke the silence. "H-Hinata-Chan… what happened?... are you ok?" Sakura's sensitive tone and blatant worrying in her voice made Hinata look up. Tears formed in her eyes once more as her mind forced her to think of those moments back in the tent where Naruto wanted her and she ran out the first opportunity she got.
Sakura whipped an arm around her as Hinata broke down and told Sakura all that happened. Was she meant to feel like this? Sakura decided seen as they had already told each other they liked each other (or as Hinata had said Naruto had declared his love for her) she thought the opportunity had arisen to tell both side of the story, she therefore told Hinata what Naruto had said to her in the woods that day. Hinata by the end of it was giggling, how could he seriously not have known it was him she had been talking about?
She felt slightly happier talking to sakura about it and Sakura seemed shocked at how far Naruto had actually got before they tensed up. "wow!" she exclaimed "you must really have a physical attraction to each other to react so well. I mean this was only like… day 1 or well evening 1." Hinata had to admit she felt like a different person. Having had now experienced kissing and feeling and the taste of someone else she felt more confident, and knowing he wanted her back made her feel sexy.
For the next few days Naruto slept. Sakura had said he would, "after releasing so much chakra he has to build more up. If he was Choji he would have basically starved himself to death in a few minutes, but because Naruto has this strong determination he seems to be able to just… well sleep it off." Hinata decided to make the most of the time whilst Naruto slept to alter a few of her cloths using the sewing kits. She decided to let Sakura be her "designer" and Hinata would fix them properly in there new altered state. She decided however to keep at least a few of her clothes in tact in case it got cold. It was 3 nights and two days before Naruto finally opened his eyes and stared blankly at the top of the canvas.
