Chapter 6- How to girlfriend, Part 1

Hinata woke up wearing Naruto's jacket, while Hanabi cuddled up to her. Both were under the covers on a small cot that they had commandeered. By the light shining through the window, Hinata judged that it was at the least morning.

Stretching softly, Hinata looked down and momentarily forgot that her and Hanabi had shed their clothing to sleep in- leaving both in their underwear. She saw both their clothes neatly folded next to the bed.

Hinata groaned as she had awoken from one of the best dreams she had ever had…

FLASHBACK

Naruto and her were under the tree that they sat under the day prior. Naruto was in a tuxedo, and she was next to him in a beautiful, long and flowing wedding dress. She turned around and saw Hanabi, Sakura, Tenten, Ino and Lady Tsunade all dressed in plain, purple bridesmaid dresses.

Naruto stood next to Sasuke, Iruka, Sai, Kiba, Kakashi, and another, taller man with yellow hair. All of them wore tuxedos.

After a moment, Hinata recognized the yellow-haired man from her history books as the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Wow, Naruto dreams so much about being Hokage that he has one as his best man! Hinata tried to rationalize in her dream.

She looked behind her and saw her father, glowing at her.

She then looked and realized there was a small alter, with Kiba's dog, Akamaru, standing behind it. Wait. Standing? She did a double take and realized the dog was wearing a frock, standing on two legs.

"Dearly beloved", Akamaru began in a distinguished and deep voice, "We are gathered here today to witness the Holy Matrimony of Hinata Hyuga and Naruto Uzumaki. Who gives this woman?"

Hiashi responded, "I proudly do".

"And who gives this man?", Akamaru said, looking over.

Lord Fourth spoke up. "I do!"

Hinata was slightly confused by this, but too excited by the scene in front of her to care or pay it much thought.

"Excellent", Akamaru continued, "Naruto, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, for rich or for poor, through sickness and health, as long as you both shall live?"

Naruto gave a thumbs up, grinning ear to ear, "I do, y'know!".

Akamaru then turned to Hinata, "Hinata, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, for rich or for poor, through sickness and health, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do!", Hinata practically yelled with excitement.

"Excellent", Akamaru said, turning to Naruto. "By the power vested in me by the Village Hidden in the Leaves, you may kiss the bride."

Naruto and Hinata closed their eyes and kissed. When Hinata opened her eyes, she was standing in a sterile white bedroom wearing nothing. She instinctively covered up. There was a king sized bed with white sheets, and literally nothing else in what seemed like an endless room.

Then, she gazed at Naruto, who was also naked. His figure was muscular and fit, so much as so that he had lines running diagonally down his pelvis, pointing to his sizeable manhood.

Hinata couldn't breathe. Naruto then smiled and said, "Shall we get down to business?"

He leaned in and kissed her neck, then kissed downwards, moving down towards her breasts. He kissed her nipples, making Hinata squeal with ecstasy. His hands lightly grazed her hips, causing his wife to shiver. She became extremely horny, all at once.

FLASHBACK END

It was at that moment Hinata slowly opened her eyes, her only desire being to get back to her wonderful dream. She was still slightly turned on by her dream- a feeling she was fairly unfamiliar with. She realized her boy shorts were slightly damp in between her legs. Embarrassed, Hinata at first suspected her period. Then, as she began to wake up, she remembered that her cycle had ended a week prior.

Unfortunately, the lavender-haired kunoichi didn't have time to put two and two together, as Hanabi stirred and both girls stood up and stretched. Hanabi rubbed her eyes and put on her black pants, black shirt, and brown jacket.

She looked at Hinata, who still wearing Naruto's jacket and pulling up her pants. "Sis, do you know what time it is?"

Hinata shook her head. "I'm not sure. Did you sleep ok?"

Hanabi smiled and nodded, "Yeah- I missed cuddling with you. You're really warm y'know.

"I did hear you moan Naruto's name in your sleep though, so I imagine you were having one hell of a dream! Maybe it was that jacket of his", Hanabi said, raising an eyebrow and crossing her arms.

Hinata ignored this, folding up the accused jacket and placing it on her cot. She then suggested they go find their Aunt Ami, as their father had recommended last night.

They found her outside of a tent and ran towards her, gripping her in a hug.

Their late mother's sister was a very nice and bubbly woman, around 28 years of age. She was tall, at around 6 feet, and was slightly muscular since she had been a Chunin until retiring the a few years prior. She had long black hair and kind eyes, obviously white in color. She wore a gray colored yukata, seeing as she didn't have time to change during the attack.

Ami was an exceptional aunt who helped raise her two nieces upon the death of their mother. While far more approachable and kind than Hiashi, Ami had always still fairly strict, but had loved Hanabi and Hinata as her own.

"Hinata! Hanabi! I heard about everything that happened!", She shouted with a fairly upbeat and high-pitched voice, all while hugging them tightly. She got down to Hanabi's eye level and said, "Thank god you're safe!"

She then stood up and looked mischievously at Hinata, "And as for you, missy- I hear your part of the new celebrity power couple in the Leaf?", Ami teased.

She pointed a finger at Hinata and narrowed her eyes, "And I also hear you're quite the reckless one now, jumping in front of maniacs who attack the village!"

Hinata rolled her eyes and smiled. She said, "it's good to see you too, Aunty!"

Ami smiled, and said, "Well, I gotta give it to you- damn near giving your life for your friend just shows how much you care about him- and how strong you are now. We were all watching you fight- and I am so proud of how you stood up for that boy! Slightly angry, too, since you could have been killed, but still so very proud!

"He is a cute one, isn't he?", Ami said, smirking. She placed her hands on her hips and continued, "Your father said maybe now would be a good time to talk about boys. Originally, I wasn't allowed anywhere near you to talk about this sort of thing, given your father's misguided attempts to control your womanhood, but I think after yesterday you're a certified young woman who can make her own decisions. Hiashi can't repress you anymore or hold you back!"

She shrugged, "He never could have, anyway- but this makes life easier", she remarked, winking. Ami led them into the tent she and a few other Hyuga women were sharing. The trio sat down on some folding cots to discuss Hinata's new boyfriend. Ami brought them some rice balls to munch on as they talked.

"So do I have to stay here for this?", Hanabi said, bored. She placed her elbow on her leg and held her head up with her hand.

"Well, Hanabi, I apparently have to give you two talks", Ami said raising an eyebrow. "I see how you look at that Sarutobi boy, Konohamaru."

Hanabi blushed and looked away, shifting.

Ami smirked, "And I notice you and that girl Kikyō have been spending a lot more time together over the last few months."

Hanabi looked at her and blushed even brighter red than before. Ami smiled warmly at her, and placed a hand on her shoulder, letting her know she had nothing to worry about. "We can talk about that situation another day, but for now, just replace Naruto for Konohamaru, if that is your eventual intention with him."

Hanabi sighed, embarrassed and defeated.

Hinata laughed and thought to herself, Aunt Ami is the only one who can out-sass Hanabi.

Ami leaned in closer to Hinata. "So lemme hear everything about this boy. Why you like him, what drives him?"

Hinata went on to explain that she had loved and cared for Naruto for years. That he was the reason she decided to get stronger. She explained that she was desperate to protect him against Pain, and always was too shy to be noticed by him. That was, until she kissed him. She explained his life of solitude and his aspirations to become the Hokage. Once she had yammered on for almost an hour about how Naruto was the greatest thing since sliced bread, her Aunt looked at her, beaming.

"I haven't been so bored in years, Hinata", Ami said, still beaming. Hinata sank low, embarrassed.

"The thing is, if you can talk for almost an hour this boy non-stop, with not ONE bad thing to say about him- then I know this boy is perfect for you, and I know that you are in love with him past how words can express.", Ami said. "I mean; you even know how he likes his Ramen to the last detail. You pay attention!"

Ami shifted away from Hinata and asked curiously, "So what kinds of things do you know about boys?"

"She knows jack shit aunty", Hanabi interjected with a smile on her face.

"Hanabi, you get one free pass for swearing." Her aunt stated, not looking away from Hinata. Hanabi rolled her eyes and huffed. She had almost died the day before and hadn't been in much of a mood for proper manners.

Hinata admitted that Hanabi was right. "Well, not very much".

Her aunt took a breath and said, "Okay. Let's start with the basics. Listen, being in a relationship means that you will do things with this boy that you have never done before. You will have some deep conversations, you'll vent to him about family and friends- you will have a best friend in him that will give you perspectives other people will never be able to give you. That boy will be an amazing person in your life that you will love and cherish."

Hinata smiled wildly. To think of Naruto in that way excited her to her very heart!

Ami looked at Hinata warmly. "You have to be there for each other- take on your burdens with him because he is your other half- you're just his better one", she said, winking at her.

"He's also a village hero- and he's holds the nine-tails. Understand- he has a lot of stress and you need to be able to handle that too- because if he ever can't you'll be the first one to step in to help him handle that burden. If you aren't strong enough to deal with him at his worst, you do NOT deserve him at his best. But the inverse goes for you as well. You'll have bad days, and he'll need to learn to deal with them too."

"Don't worry Aunt Ami! If I can stand up for Naruto on the battlefield, I can stand next to him anywhere!", Hinata declared with confidence. Her Aunt smiled, and the two embraced. As they retreated from one another, her aunt continued.

"You also need to trust each other- if you trust each other emotionally, then other things in your relationship can evolve. Can you tell him your darkest thoughts without him being scared off, or without him telling his friends? Those kinds of things will come with time- but it's important to ask yourself how much you trust him and how much he trusts you. That's the only way you'll grow together. However, if you constantly have to look over your shoulder at him- throw him out like a paper bomb!

"Communication is gonna be key- you won't ever know what he's thinking, and honey you had better believe he won't ever guess what going on in that pretty little head of yours! Men can be clueless, so let him know what you're happy about or mad about or sad about- Don't let him guess, otherwise you'll drive him off".

Her aunt stopped her tirade and gave her a serious look, "Hinata, I know you know the birds and the bees- so I'm gonna cut right to the chase."

Ami pointed at her chest, and said, "Listen and listen well girl, rule number 1 is that boy does NOT get to do whatever he wants to you or with you. Your body is YOURS and you can choose what you feel comfortable with. If you don't wanna hold hands, you don't have to. If you don't wanna have sex, you don't have to. If you want that stuff though, go right the hell ahead!"

The bluntness of her aunt's tirade made Hinata sit up straight.

"Listen, if you have questions, ask me about them", her aunt said, placing her hand on her shoulder. "Do not be afraid. Or, if you don't want to ask an old bag like me, try your friend Sakura- she's a medic, if I remember correctly, so she could probably give you a lot of factual information that I might not even know."

Hinata nodded, blushed, and asked, "Well… On the topic of sex… H-how will I know when I'm ready?"

Her aunt smiled at her, "Well, dear, your body is- but you'll figure it out for yourself when you don't want to be a virgin anymore. There isn't a good answer. Your father- ALL fathers- by default, usually say marriage, but let's face it- that's an outdated custom. In my own opinion, so take this as you will, you should have sex for the first time with someone you really care about. Take your time and make sure he's someone that even if you broke up with, that you would still not have regretted it.", Her aunt explained.

Ami put her hands on her hips. "In short, It's not an easy question, Hinata- you just have to figure it out for yourself.

Hanabi lightly punched her sister's arm. "Now go get some, sis! Before some other little bitch who's better looking snags and shags your man!", Hanabi teased enthusiastically.

Before Hanabi could realize it, Aunt Ami had grabbed her ear and pulled the young girl to just the right of her. Ami sat down on the cot. A second later, Hanabi was pulled over her Aunt's lap.

"Hanabi, I warned you not to swear again!", Ami said cheerfully as Hanabi squirmed around, still alarmed.

"But Aunt Amiii!", Hanabi cried.

"No buts missy!", Ami closed her eyes and smiled, "well except for the one I'm about to smack".

"Hinata help me out? Plleaassee?", Hanabi pleaded.

"Aunt Ami", Hinata said cautiously, "Please let Hanabi go- it's been a rough few days- and she did die yesterday!"

Aunt Ami looked at Hanabi and smiled, "Well, she didn't, did she? Maybe I'll make her wish she did, then!"

"Aunt Ami, please?", Hinata pleaded, not wanting to anger her even more. Her aunt had a hand on the small of Hanabi's back.

"I gave her a warning already, dear, I'm sorry but my mind is made up", her aunt cooed, slipping Hanabi's black pants and underwear down to her knees.

"Please? For me?", Hinata pleaded one last time.

Ami looked at her, smiling but raising an eyebrow. "For you? Well, if you insist, I suppose- ", Ami sighed. "A spanking for you too it is, then!", Ami said cheerfully, with a small, victorious grin on her face.

Hinata's eyes bulged, and she quickly stammered out, "NoThankYouGoodbye! SorryHanabi!" while rushing out of the tent.

Hanabi groaned and closed her eyes, Thanks for trying Hinata- nee-chan… But she had me beat from the get-go…

Hinata breathed a sigh of relief when she left the tent, but her heart dropped as she heard a rhythmic 'Smack, smack, smack' coming from behind her.
