Enjoy!
Chapter 6
''I'm so weak I can't even bring myself to unpack'', Ino mumbled, laying on the bed.
Sasuke picked them up from their flat hour ago and nonetheless on her arguments that she doesn't want to live their flat, she is here, in some really strange apartment that makes her think of prison. Why prison? Ino didn't know the answer to this question, but it just felt so.
''You need to eat'', Hinata said, coming to their new room. ''We bought burgers..''
''I'm not eating fast food!''
''Yes, Ino, you are'', Hinata said strictly, sitting on the edge of the bed and handling to her blonde friend packet with burger inside. ''You will eat it all.''
Ino knew why Hinata was doing this. No matter how many times Yamanaka said to her friend that she's not to blame in her mental illness, brunette didn't believe in this. In two days Hinata ate more than she did in a week. She grabbed packet and rolled her eyes, smiling then a little. Hinata smiled back and put her hand on her forehead.
''Hina, I'm not ill. I am just a bit tired'', Ino said, laying on bed.
Hyuuga thought that how good it is that she found flat for Sasuke with whole furniture already being settled. She smiled to Ino and then put bottle with water on bed.
''I feel like sleeping'', Yamanaka mumbled. ''How long I will feel myself so weak?''
''Two more days maximum'', Hinata replied and then tucked her friend into blanket. ''Eat and then sleep, okay?''
Hinata excited room and closed door quietly, turning around.
''Oh my god!'' She screamed loudly, backing up as she saw Sasuke staring right in front of her.
Brunette took a deep breaths and then heard Ino asking is something wrong. She quickly replied with a ''no'' and then raised her head, looking at detective. Uchiha was standing, arms crossed over his chest, black shirt in which he changed was hugging all his muscles and she felt like running away now. Strangely, Hinata always felt like when she was close to Sasuke. Running away, far away from him, to the place where his dark hypnotizing couldn't look into her soul. After that kiss that she couldn't get out of her mind, girl was trying to avoid him as much as she could and she silently thanked Ino for not being able to cook, so she stayed and cooked for her.
''Em'', Hinata let out.
Sasuke was staring at her, being aware that this not polite, but not changing anything. She was too much for him. It was almost like some magnet was drawing him to her. Sasuke had no idea what he's about to do, but whatever it is, he was enjoying having her blush because of him.
''I'll cook something'', she mumbled quietly.
When Sasuke didn't react, she went to the kitchen. Hinata tried not to breath when she was passing him and of course, of course she had to slip and lose her balance at that time. Closing her eyes and getting ready for a greeting with floor, Hinata felt pair of strong arms wrapping around her waist and keeping her few cm away from floor. Hinata gasped, opening her eyes. Seconds were passing, but detective wasn't pulling her up and girl felt awkward. She turned around in his arms, facing her savior. Something in the way he looked at her made her feel even more uncomfortable than she was.
''P-pull me u-up, please'', she said, avoiding his gaze.
''Magical word.''
Hinata's eyes widened on this. Smirk placed on his lips and brunette girl felt like doing anything only to wipe this from his face. His arms were holding her tightly and fear of falling disappeared completely.
''P-please?'' She asked, raising her eyebrows.
''Wrong'', Uchiha muttered and leaned in, wanting to capture her lips with his, when his phone vibrated in the pocket. ''Shit.''
Picking phone with one hand and with another keep on holding Hinata, Sasuke started to talk with Nara. Hyuuga tried to move and almost fell down. Digging her nails into his hand, Hinata basically clued to him, wrapping her both hands around his neck. Sasuke, not being able to control upcoming smile, bite his lower lip. He quickly finished talk with his partner and then put phone back into his pocket. Noticing their position, he smiled, looking at blushing Hinata. This girl, for only few days somehow managed to captivate him. Of course this happened to him before, but usually he would lost all interest after few meetings, but with Hinata it was different. All his senses were screaming of her closeness. If he lean in now, he would kiss her. Kiss her like she should be kissed, kiss her like Naruto Uzumaki will never do. Cringing on the thought of blonde detective, Sasuke put her in a vertical position and let go. His thoughts got carried away in another direction that is not connected to beautiful brunette. Shikamaru got the camera, means that now they are step closer to discovering about murderer and they still need to know who killed little kitten. Sounds of something breaking made him turn around. Hinata broke another egg and put it in the bowl. Sasuke carefully came closer, leaning on the wall. Before they came here she told him to go and do quick grocery shopping for which he agreed. Uchiha wasn't much of a cooker, he lived with Nara and this genius was his own chef. He stood there quietly, watching Hinata. There was no hesitation in her movements and he get that cooking for her was usual and he could bet that was really good in this.
''What are you going to do?'' He asked in a usual tone, looking at her.
''Just waffles, but I'll male lots of them, no worries'', she replied.
Hinata loved to cook. She always got carried away in her thoughts. While cooking she always made all decisions about her work and all her problems and this time she liked to spent in silence. Pouring salt, sugar and flour along with eggs, Hinata looked around. She asked previous woman, who was living here to leave some cooking dishes along with some machines. Opening shelves, Hinata finally saw a whisk for which she was looking for. Being rather short, she couldn't get the whisk on her own. Already wanting to take the chair, she felt presence behind her and froze on her place. Smell of dark chocolate helped her to understand who is this. Girl let out small squeak when he pressed her to the kitchen counter, grabbing whisk from shelf.
''Here'', Sasuke whispered in her ear.
Is he doing this on purpose? Her reaction on him being so close made her blush. Her heart was beating fast, her palms were sweaty and shivers were running up and down her body, making her want to scream. With shaking hands taking whisk from his hand, Hinata swallowed, hoping that her nervousness won't be that obvious. Sasuke still was pressing her on the counter, but not because he wanted to make her feel uncomfortable. Simply, because he couldn't bring himself to take step back. She was too attractive for him, too pure and precious that he wanted to break her in his hand and at the same time held her so careful. His two hands were from different sides of her, so she won't be able to run away. Pressing his manhood right in her ass, Sasuke closed his eyes, breathing in scent from her hair. Peaches. He could feel her tensing up and Hinata made a move – wrong move – she swayed with her bum to the other side. Uchiha pressed her harder, now it was almost painful for her to be in this position.
''Hinata'', he whispered.
Her name sounded like something so sexually arousing, something so dirty from his lips that Hyuuga opened her mouth to gasp. His nose touched her temple and she instantly leaned on him, putting her head on his shoulder. His hands now were touching her hips and then he snaked one hand under her shirt, touching her bare skin of belly. Hinata shivered. In the back of her mind, where logic was, she knew that this is not right. She should pull him away from her now, scream at him and just do something. But when his tongue licked her ear, she forget about everything. Her eyes rolled back, when he carefully bite her earlobe.
''Gosh'', she whispered, giving in to him.
Sasuke felt it: how she was shivering, her inner struggle when she wanted to pull him back – he felt everything and it was enough to make him go crazy. He had never being with someone so pure like her and it was a major turn on. Turning her around, he touched her nose with his. All he wanted to do was now take off all her clothes and have her on this kitchen counter now, not listening to any her doubts, but he knew this would scare her away, that she won't like it. And for the first time in his life Sasuke actually cared not only about himself. Even though he had never been with someone like her, his instincts were leading him in the right away. He slowly moved to her cheek, kissing it softly and smiling, when he noticed that her eyes are closed. His lips moved to her chin, kissing it too. His tongue outlined her upper lip and she opened her mouth, welcoming him. Smirking on his little win, Sasuke caught her bottom lip with his teeth, sucking it. Her breathing became uneven. Hinata was sure that if it weren't for Sasuke holding her, she would probably fall down. Her knees were shaking; her whole body was shaking of anticipation. He was skillful, he was with so many women and Hinata knew that she is probably the most inexperienced one of them, but what he was doing to her now was hard to describe. Sasuke Uchiha made her brain stop working, put her logic aside and her whole body on fire. They didn't even kiss but she was burning.
''Hinata'', he called quietly, his hands gripping her hips. ''Hinata….''
Their lips were touching, he was whispering in her mouth and Hyuuga was sure she'll go crazy if he won't kiss her now. And he did. He kissed her with a mind-blowing kiss that made her toes curl and her breath hitch in her lungs. He was kissing her with such a force and hunger, like she was water and he walked in deserts for weeks; his tongue touched hers and then her teeth. Hinata was responding instinctively, not knowing if she's doing right, but not caring about it. Her shy, almost hesitant moves with her tongue were sending Uchiha over edge, he couldn't get enough, couldn't stop. Only when her two hands were pulling him back, he let go, breathing heavily. She was out of breath, gasping air like she was underwater all the time. Sasuke pressed on her and she froze, feeling something hard balking in her stomach. Her eyes widened and she stared at him with surprise mixed with shock. Uchiha was dealing with his breathing, trying not to rip her clothes right here and right now.
''Hinata'', he called in a dangerous whisper that made her tremble.
''Y-es?'' Her hands were still on his shoulders and Hinata slowly put one on the back of his neck.
This gesture looked like welcoming for Sasuke. He raised his head and kissed her fiercely, biting her lips and leaving her absolutely breathless. His erection was still pressing in her stomach and he sighed, resting his forehead against hers.
''If you don't want this to go further, then leave'', he said quietly, but seriously.
Hinata couldn't move. Her mind was screaming at her; screaming so she could pull him away and move, move away from him, but it's like her legs weren't under her control anymore. She was paralyzed by him, his actions, his lips and his eyes. By everything about him. Sasuke, muttering curses under his breath, gripped her shoulder and shook her a bit.
''Leave. Now.''
It was an order. Somewhere far in her mind she thought that she really appreciates him doing so, because if it wouldn't him then she would have her first time right at the kitchen's counter with no one but her boss. But another part of her mind, major part of it, was offended. Offended of him not letting her in. Hyuuga, trembling, moved to the side. She was looking down, trying to fight unneeded tears that were threating to run down her cheeks. Of course he would pull her away. She is nowhere near all those woman who were with him. Right, woman. She's not even woman yet, she's just a simple girl, plain girl who is virgin above it's all. Sasuke looked at her with narrowed eyes, trying to understand her emotions. But unlike all other people, she was not readable. Moving by instinct, Sasuke took her hand in his, but she moved away.
''It's okay, I … I understand'', she mumbled with a sad smile.
Uchiha got strike by the realization. Pulling her on him, he pressed his erection in her stomach, picking her chin up with his fingers and making her look at him.
''Do you feel it?'' He asked, his hot breath making her shiver. ''Do you?''
Hinata nodded, looking at him and blushing fiercely.
''This is what you did to me. This is what you do to me'', Sasuke said quietly, her lips touching hers. ''I want you. So bad, it's painful. But I won't do this. Not unless I'll know that you're ready.''
This was something that Uchiha didn't expect from himself to say, but he was glad he said that. Hinata's gaze changed, became more soft. And he was strangely happy to see this change. He let go of her and she let out small smile, turning around and looking at bowl with something that was meant to be mixture for waffles. Sasuke looked down at his erection and sighed.
''I'm going to the cold shower'', he announced and went out.
Hinata smiled, keep on cooking. After few minutes she heard sound of door opening made her look around. Nara came in with a heavy sigh, throwing bag on the sofa in the living room. He stopped and stared at Hinata. Hyuuga didn't know how to behave with him; he is still detective Nara and she is now standing in front of him in simple yoga pants and white shirt. Shikamaru first solved out this situation.
''Cooking?'' He asked and then came closer. ''Put a bit more salt.''
''Ok-kay'', Hinata mumbled. ''Detective Sasuke is in the shower.''
''Detective? Just Sasuke when we're not at work'', he said and then sit on the chair next to table.
There was a silence that got disturbed only by a sound of Hinata cracking eggs. She felt like something is about to come up and she was right. Shikamaru cleared his throat and she turned to him, putting plate with waffles on the table.
''Where is your friend?'' He asked, trying to sound neutral.
''Ino should be sleeping right now, she still doesn't feel herself very good'', Hinata answered. ''Those waffles are her favorite, need to wake her up now.''
''I'll do that by myself'', Shikamaru said and stand up quickly.
Hinata smiled slightly, turning to him. She stared at him with a gaze that made him raise his eyebrow.
''And please, check if she ate burger that I left for her'', she said and Nara nodded, smiling lightly.
Shikamaru stand up and went to the room at which Hinata pointed on. He opened the door and saw sleeping peacefully at Ino on the bed. Small smile placed on his lips as he looked at her. His gaze caught packet that was laying on the floor. He came closer to pick it up and with frown saw that burger is still there. Nara sit at the edge of the bed, next to Ino. With one small move he put falling on her face hair and tug it behind her ear.
''Ino'', he called quietly, looking at her.
She didn't even move. Yamanaka was sleeping, probably seeing something good in her dreams, because she was smiling a little. Detective was ready to sit like that for a long time. Now, when he was next to her, everything seemed right. Not when he was with Temari, no. Now, looking at this blonde girl, who was like angel, now it seemed right.
''Ino'', he called again, caressing her hand.
And then image of him and Temari crossed his mind and he froze. Sense of guilty overwhelmed him. He shook his head and closed his eyes. What the fuck? They are not even dating. Why the hell he feels so guilty?
''M-m-m'', Ino mumbled, rolling to the other side.
Shikamaru looked at her and smiled. Her shirt went up because of her position, exposing bare skin of her back. Without thinking twice, Nara touched her skin, not being surprised with how smooth it is. His eyebrows furrowed when he could see how skinny she actually is. Ino purred, when he started to draw circles on her back. She automatically leaned in to him, smiling in sleep. Shikamaru couldn't help but smile back.
''Hmmm'', Ino let out and then opened her eyes. ''Mhm? Shika?''
Nara froze. Did she really just…?
''Shikaaaaa'', she moaned and then rolled to another side.
She was still asleep. Man let out sigh of relief and then stand up from bed. Shika. He can egt used to hearing her call him like that. With a shook of his head, Nara exited her room. He nodded to Sasuke, who came out of bathroom with only jeans on. Shikamaru picked up his shirt from sofa and throw it to him, going to his bag.
''Did you wake Ino up?'' Hinata asked from the kitchen.
''No, try by yourself'', Nara replied and then opened his bag, putting camera on the table.
Sasuke came closer to him and stared at camera. Without saying anything, Uchiha tapped his shoulder twice and nodded. Shikamaru didn't react on this and Sasuke sit next to him, raising his eyebrow.
''She was that bad?'' He asked with a chuckle.
''Who was?''
They both turned around and saw Ino, standing in front of them, rubbing her eyes. Shikamaru swallowed and tensed up, which was noticed by Sasuke.
''Oh, hey sleeping beauty'', Hinata said softly, coming to her friend with plate of waffles.
Sasuke and Shikamaru smiled at this. It was really nice to see them being such a good friends together, the way they cared about each other was something that they have never see before.
''I fell asleep and didn't eat burger'', Ino mumbled and then quickly added: ''But I'm going to eat all your waffles, so no worries!''
Shikamaru smiled. It was good that Ino has someone like Hinata, who looked after her like they were sisters. Sasuke again was surprised with what a person Hyuuga is. He was not sure that someone in this world could be more kind than she is.
''Okay, go and wash your face and your green tea is ready'', Hinata said and then sighed. ''I can see your ribs, Ino.''
Yamanaka only smiled and went to bathroom. Nara, looking around, only now started to pay attention on flat. Living room was rather big, all walls were in light blue except of kitchen, where walls were just plain white. Furniture looked old, but he didn't mind it at all; he was thankful that they have something to sit on now. With all those sound and scent from kitchen, this flat seemed to be alive.
''We made a little grocery shopping on the way to here'', Sasuke explained, when Shikamaru send him questioning gaze. ''Now let's look at camera.''
Uchiha took his laptop from his own bag and put it on the table. Taking USB he waited for camera to load. Hinata was in the kitchen, preparing everything for the tea.
''In three minutes I want to see everyone in the kitchen!'' She announced.
Sasuke smiled. Hyuuga sounded so..cosy, like she was at her own home. She finally forget about him being her boss and let herself loosen up and he was happy for that.
''Okay, here we go'', Sasuke said, concentrating on camera. ''Look for a date of murder, when it happened?''
Shikamaru started to look through documents and Sasuke clicked on latest file, just out of curiosity. In the next second living room was filled with sounds of heavy breathing, Temari's moans. Sasuke closed this file, not wanting too see sex tape of his friend.
''Oh.''
Shikamaru turned around and with open mouth stared at Ino, who was looking at the laptop screen.
''Oh Ino, c'mon, your green tea is ready'', Hinata said, walking out of the kitchen. ''Ino, is everything okay?''
Yamanaka blinked few times and then looked at Hinata, avoiding Shikamaru's gaze.
''Green tea is something that I need now'', she let out and smiled, going to the kitchen.
Shikamaru watched girl going and swallowed hard. Uchiha, understanding that he is to blame here, only looked down, not knowing what to do. Ino sit on the chair, looking at the cup with green tea on the table and trying to understand what she is feeling. So many emotions were slightly overwhelming her; this was something that she never felt before, Ino usually had her emotions on check. By saying this, it doesn't mean that she acted like a cold rock, no Yamanaka was one of the most emotional people, but she always knew what she's feeling in the exact moment; was it love or anger or jealousy or sadness. And now, everything just fall on her like a snowball and she had no idea of how to behave herself now. Was she upset? Yes. Did she have a valid reason to be like that? No. And that that was annoying.
''Ino?'' Hinata called, sitting in front of her and raising his eyebrow. ''You okay? Is tea too hot?''
Ino let out small sigh. She looked up at her best friend and smiled.
''Those waffles looks absolutely amazing, but being honest I would rather eat burger now.''
Hinata nodded and went to get her a burger from the room. Knowing that she has only few moments before Hyuuga will be back, Ino quickly wiped few tears from corners of her eyes. This is ridiculous. Why I am even crying? Beautiful blonde girl quickly flipped her hair to the other side and cleared her throat. Without looking back she knew that Shikamaru is staring at her, taking in every her move. Like he waited for something. Like he expected something.
''Here you go, your burger'', Hinata said and then turned to look at two detectives. ''You are coming?''
''No, thanks'', Sasuke answered and Ino sighed with a relief.
She thought that if Uchiha won't eat, then Nara won't do this too, but she was mistaken. Her boss sit next to her, their knees touching under the table. Ino moved a bit to the side, not looking at him. Hinata, shifting her gaze from man to her best friend, didn't understand what happened.
''Hinata'', Sasuke called, looking up from his laptop. ''Take your notes and come here.''
Hyuuga nodded, sending one last worried gaze at Ino before leaving kitchen and going to Sasuke. Just as she did it, Nara switched his place and sit in front of his assistant. Yamanaka tried her best to ignore his gaze, but it was hard to eat when he was staring at her without blinking. She was eating slowly, realizing that she's actually really hungry. She didn't think about calories for the first time in few years, just enjoying her burger.
''It's rude to stare when someone eats'', she said after a while, not looking at her boss.
''It happened because of the mission. I did it only to get the camera'', he said, putting emphasis on the word ''only''.
For some reason, Shikamaru just needed to say this. He needed her to know the reason, even though this reason looks pathetic. He needed so say something. However, Ino didn't reply. He watched her attentively, wishing for few second he could have Sasuke's powers and see through her. Yamanaka finished her burger and took few sips from her green tea. She took two waffles on her plate, not looking at Shikamaru. When he thought that it's stupid to wait for her reaction, Ino raised her head and looked right at him. Blue eyes were icy cold and he didn't like it. He better see those eyes shining with happiness than being filled with …sadness/anger. She chewed her waffle and then slowly swallowed it, taking sip of her drink.
''Okay'', she let out finally.
''Okay?'' Shikamaru repeated, raising his eyebrow. ''What this suppose to mean?''
''What do you want it to mean? Okay is okay, means that I have no problems with this'', she replied with a slight tone of annoyance, standing up and grabbing plate. ''I don't understand why did you tell me this.''
She proceed to the sink, putting plate there. Turning around, she took cup from the table, putting it in the sink too. Shikamaru watched her doing this with growing confusion and annoyance. He was still sitting on the chair, when he looked at Sasuke and Hinata. They both were looking at the screen, writing something in their notebooks. Silently standing up, Nara blocked the way to Ino, who wanted to take his plate to the sink too. Rolling her eyes, blue-eyed girl arched her eyebrow, looking at him.
''What?''
''I don't have any feelings for her. It was done only for a job'', he said slowly, looking in her eyes and making sure she got every single word.
There was a silence; silence that could be cut with a knife. Ino stared in his eyes, trying to read his emotions, trying to understand why he is saying this and what he means. Most of all, she wanted to understand why did he do that. Feeling like crying for no reason, Yamanaka looked away and moved to the side. She took his plate from the table and froze.
''Was it really only for a job?'' She asked in a whisper.
Nara tensed up, not turning to her. Ino came closer and now was standing right in front of him, looking in his eyes.
''All I want to say that I don't think shagging yet to be boss of one of the most powerful companies in the world was a good idea. I'm sure you could have done your job without this, but I guess it's a good bonus. By the sounds that I heard, it was quiet nice. I just don't find it professional'', Ino said and then turned around, going to wash the dishes.
She was proud of herself. She knew she handled it well, when Nara slammed door loudly, going out.
''What happened?'' Hinata asked, looking at her friend and then at Sasuke.
Uchiha simply stared at the door and then sighed.
''Continue on'', he said to Hinata and then looked at Ino.
There was something in his gaze that made Ino understand that he knows something, something about herself and Shikamaru. We're not together, what can he possibly know? Yamanaka washed dishes and they cleaned up whole kitchen. She went to her friend then, sitting with her on sofa. Hinata and Sasuke were trying to open one file that was with a parole. She pretended to be very interested with that, not letting her mind wonder over her boss. Right, Ino, boss. Stop thinking about him. Think about that guy at work, who he was? Right, Choji? Yes, think of Choji. At least he really likes you. Ino kept on repeating those words in her head, but it didn't help. She end up thinking of Nara, of this arrogant Nara. With a sigh, girl stand up. Sasuke and Hinata didn't notice that, they both were too caught up in the laptop. Ino smiled, looking at them. it was good to know that those two can work together, unlike she and Shikamaru. Girl walked to the door and opened it, getting out of the flat.
''Finally. I thought that I was wrong and you won't walk out.''
Ino jumped on her place, turning around and looking at leaning on the wall Shikamaru, who threw away cigarette.
''What the-'' she started but then shut up as he with one quick movement pulled her closer to him.
His hands were holding her waist firmly, not letting her move. Ino raised eyebrows and tried to pull herself away from him, but he was too strong. Shikamaru watched with little grin her attempts to break free. She looked like furious kitten in this time.
''I'm going to scream'', Ino warned, looking at him. ''I swear I will scream.''
''There is nothing between me and Temari'', Shikamaru sighed, looking in her eyes and making sure that she looks at him. ''Nothing.''
''Sex is something, I'm sure'', she spitted back, feeling anger boiling in her blood.
''So you care'', Nara said with a smug smirk on his lips. ''And you said you don't. Liar.''
Ino opened her mouth to answer and then closed it, not knowing what to say. Asshole. They stayed like that for a few seconds before Ino started to try to break free again. Nara gripped her hips and pushed her on him, touching their foreheads.
''Okay'', Ino muttered through gripped teeth. ''O-fucking-kay. That was very unprofessional anyways.''
Shikamaru raised his eyebrow and moved his head to left, whispering in her ear:
''I wonder, if I kiss you now, will that be counted as unprofessional too?''
Ino hold her breath for few seconds before exhaling. Biting her lower lip, she felt her heart pumping in her chest. Shikamaru, being glad with her reaction, titled his head to the right, looking in her eyes.
''Will it?'' He asked, more whispered in her lips.
Nara expected her to lean in and kiss him; he expected her to say something in return and then he'll kiss her; what he did not expect is the loud slap that he got. It felt like right part of his face is paralyzed.
''Don't you dare to even think of kissing me'', she hissed in his ear.
Ino took few steps back, his hands dropping from her hips. In her mind she could see flashbacks of what her dad told to her always: ''Ino, you're flower, you're lady. You're star that not everyone can reach for. Always hold your head up high, have your pride and standards. My little girl deserves only the best; never forget that.'' The best. Yamanaka looked at Nara, who seemed to be still in shock of getting slapped. She could actually see anger forming in his eyes and swallowed.
''Not because of Temari. Not because you're my boss. Just… you're out of my league, Nara. Not my type'', she said confidently and before this confidence will disappear, quickly get back into flat, leaving confused and angry detective outside.
A/N: Okay, okay, I get that this wasn't good. I know. Sorry. I hope that you will stick with me, though. In next chapter more detective things, because I think I'm going to hell with those four and their strange relationships. Reviews will be very and very appreciated, because I have no idea where this is going. – Nizza. xx
