eKitsune Memories

Disclaimer: Last I checked I still don't own Naruto

A Long Road Home

Oh gods he was warm. His head was resting on her shoulders as he kept himself tangled in her, his body still reacting to her scratching behind the ears. Hinata blushed heavily as she looked around the room thinking about the situation. She was here cuddling with Naruto in a room all by themselves.

'Right where we want him!'Hinata's eyes widened as that voice popped back into her head again. 'Look at him. He's putty in our hands.'

'T-this is fine…'

'Don't even think about it. Look at him! He's so under our control…'

Hinata snapped out of her thoughts as she let out a moan as she felt something hot and wet on her neck. She looked down to see Naruto's blue eyes looking directly into hers with a seductive grin on his face. His eyes looked into hers like she was the only thing in the world that mattered.

'…I don't mind being controlled…' spoke a drooling inner self.

All thoughts on arguing with herself were thrown out the window as she felt Naruto start to suckle on the sensitive flesh of her neck, nipping and licking where he pleased bringing more high pitched noises from her. Her face felt flushed and she could feel her whole body warming up the attention he was paying to her.

She felt his body shift upwards and then his lips touched hers and she moaned into them. His hand was rubbed her hip as his other was placed underneath of her head gently feeling her hair. His kiss passionate and loving at the same time. Oh gods she could die happy.

Then it all left and she felt dazed as she tried to figure out what was happening. Naruto was now lying next to her with his back on the bed with his arm around her shoulders. He had a serious look on his face as he looked towards the door. She was still breathing heavily, but it only got worse as her breathing turned panicked as the door opened wide with Neji standing in the door.

The fox boy and the Hyuuga stared intensely at each other. Neji reading the emotions playing on Hinata's face with ease, but Naruto's demeanor was throwing him off. She felt Naruto pull her a 

little closer to him and snuggle against her. She was beginning to feel very uncomfortable with the situation.

"What do you want blood traitor."

Naruto's words were so cold she could hardly believe it. The way he looked towards Neji seemed to be filled with barely controlled anger. Neji too looked surprised by Naruto's words.

"Naruto…I don't understand what it-"

"Can it. I don't care what you have to say. You attacked family." Naruto spoke out coldly. "If I ever see you near her again like that. I'll kill yo-"

Naruto stopped his rant when Hinata placed her hand on his shoulder stopping him. She looked at him with worry in her eyes as he stared back at her confused. "Naruto-kun stop that."

"Wha-?"

"Nii-san apologized to me ages ago and has done his best to make up for what he did to me. I accepted his apology. It's ok."

"What? No. Theres nothing worse than turning your back on your family! I saw it. He nearly killed you! That's unforgivable." The conversation had completely changed from what it was previously. Now it was simply an argument between Naruto and Hinata while Neji stood off to side waiting for his chance to make his opinion known.

"But I did forgive him and so did you before this whole accident. You and Neji were good friends with each other after he apologized to me. He won't ever hurt me again Naruto."

Naruto didn't speak for a few moments and she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to forgive Neji as he stared intensely at her. Then finally he let out a large breath and flopped back against the bed and put his hands behind his head as he lay there with his eyes closed.

"Well if Hinata-chan can forgive you I guess I can too." His eyelids opened slowly as he stared directly at Neji. Hinata could see some red bleeding into Naruto's eyes. "But if I ever see anything…"

Naruto just let the threat hang in the air as the crimson in his eyes disappeared and the blue that Hinata loved so much return to them. Then he smiled at Neji as if nothing happened. "So what are you doing here Neji, we were in the middle of something."

"Clearly." Neji spoke with a smirk.

Naruto leaned down next to Hinata's head after Neji spoke. She could feel her blush rising as Naruto had that fox like grin on his face. "You know what they say about Kitsune, demons that master in the arts of trickery and seduction."

Hinata felt a shiver run down her entire body when he spoke the last word with a hot breath onto her ear before he nipped it. Neji's smirk disappeared instantly and was replaced with a scowl directed at the fox boy. "Do not touch my cousin that way. I don't know where you got the idea of her being your mate, but-"

"I got the idea, because she is. She already bares my mark after all." Naruto spoke as he used his finger to tilt Hinata's head to the side gently. Before Neji could see what he was talking about though Hinata slapped her hand over the spot with a large blush.

"Oh come on Hinata-chan show him. What could it hurt?" He nuzzled into her neck.

'You…when Neji kills you…' She thought as she felt him gently remove her hand with little resistance. Neji took it better than she thought though. His eyes widened in shock as he looked at the marking on her neck, his mouth slightly agape as he stared at it and her back and forth.

"You let him do this to you!?" This was clearly the loudest and most shocked Hinata had ever seen Neji in her entire life. His eyes filled with disbelief and worry. "What will your father do?"

Hinata's eyes widened as she thought about what her father was going to say. No one in the Hyuuga family had ever married without the clan's approval beforehand? Well she wasn't technically "married" per say by their customs…but still she was his "Mate", which is married in his terms right? Oh boy what had she gotten herself into…

"Her father? What should he care as long I love and protect her?" Naruto questioned.

"Naruto it doesn't work like that. Politics come into play and your status has to do with it also. There's just no way he will allow it-"

Killing intent flooded the room so suddenly Hinata felt as if she fell into ice water. She could see Naruto's eyes had taken that deep crimson color once again. His upper lip had risen some showing his longer canines and his hair stood on end as he growled. "No one will take her away from me."



And as quick as it had come it had gone again. Hinata could only think that he released it immediately after making his point. She didn't know whether to feel happy that he would never let go of her, or worried about how out of hand this could get. Neji stood stock still in the door way, a cold sweat present on his face. Shakily he nodded his head and backed out the door closing it on the way.

"Now where were we?" Naruto whispered out as he went in for another kiss before he found her hand pushing him back. Puzzled he looked at Hinata. "What's wrong?"

She bit her lip nervously in front of him as she worked up the nerve to go through with what she was planning to say. He backed away from her hand then sat cross legged facing her, his head tiled slightly to the side with a puzzled look on his face.

"Naruto-kun…I don't want you threatening Neji-nii-san like that. He is only trying to do what he thinks is best for me." She stuttered out nervously in front him. She noticed that as she spoke his ears started to sag down as if he was an animal being scolded and the depressed look on his face made her instantly want to take back everything she said.

"…are you saying that you want them to take you away from me?" His voice was so broken and dead sounding and she could see tears gathering in the corners of his eyes. The tails that had been cocooned around her body loosened their hold and slowly started to slink away. Hinata panicked quickly and scrambled across the bed over to him before he could take off. The result ending with Hinata on top of Naruto pinning him down.

"No no no no." She spoke rapidly shaking her head side to side causing her dark blue hair cascade around her face. "I want to be with you always, but…I also want you to be you." She bit her lip nervously looking down at him. "And the Naruto I know would die before threatening his friends."

His eyes had always held so much emotion to her. She could always tell just what was happening deep down in his soul by looking so carefully in those eyes of his. And right now she was seeing the torment he was going through. Tears started to gather in the corners of his eyes as he stared up into hers. "I don't know who I am Hinata-chan…"

She bent her arms down so that she was lying on top of him before wrapping her arms around him. She rested her head next to his as he crushed her to him with his own arms. Tears leaked out of her eyes as well as she whispered into his ear.

"I'll help teach you again."

-Jiraiya-

Thud thud thud

"Jiraiya would you knock that off? It's getting annoying." He heard the voice of Kakashi sound out from a few feet to his left.

What Kakashi was referring to was the sound of Jiraiya's skull repeatedly thumping backwards against the rocks of the hot spring they sat in. For several minutes now Jiraiya had just sat there thumping his head like a metronome against the stone as the two sat there relaxing.

Jiraiya stared up into the stars in the sky as hit head rested backwards on the edge of the spring. "I have no idea what to do Kakashi…" He let out a long sigh as he reached backwards with his arm trying to find one of the sake bottles he had brought with him into the hot springs.

"I'm a master of nearly ever ninja art in the world. But as of this moment I have no idea what to do." He punctuated this statement with a deep swig of the bottle in his hand. He was certain that his cheeks were tinted red from the amount that he had consumed.

"So there's nothing you can do?" Kakashi questioned as he placed a warm washcloth on top of his head, matting down the spiky hair he was so well known for. A slight look of depression on his normally care free face was apparent to Kakashi.

"As of this moment…not a damn thing." Jiraiya slurred out. "I don't have the first clue what to do. I'm going to need to spend a lot of time in the vault back in Konoha to even get a clue where to start."

"The seal is gone, what can we do?" Kakashi questioned as he leaned back against the wall next to Jiraiya.

"I'm not sure…maybe the seal isn't really gone? Maybe we just can't see it?" He chugged down another swig from the bottle. "That still leaves me with nothing though. Fact is….I have no way of figuring things out here…"

"I guess you can go back to Konoha an-" Kakashi started off. Before he could finish though Jiriaya sat up and gave Kakashi a serious look in Kakashi's eye. Jiriaya set his bottle down and wiped the remaining sake off of his lips.



"He has to go back to Konoha Kakashi." He raised his hand before Kakashi could protest. "He needs to be looked at by Tsunade-hime. Not only that, but we might have to try different things on him, and we can't do that if he's all the way back here."

"It won't be safe for him back there Jiraiya. You know what will happen." Sudden realization struck Kakashi and his eye widened as he realized something. "Jiraiya you do realize what time of the year it is?"

Jiraiya's eyebrow raised in confusion as he looked at Kakashi. "What are you-" Jiraiya spoke before he suddenly realized what he was talking about. "The chunnin exam." Jiraiya thoughts ran a million miles a second. With the exams taking place thousands would be coming into the village for the spectacle of the exams and the final round matches.

Jiraiya rubbed his chin some as he looked to the night sky. "I guess the only thing that we can do is hide him once we get him back. At least until we can figure out something to do. It should make it easier for us to sneak him inside though with all the commotion going on."

"I suppose that's our only real choice eh? I suppose we could disguise him as we sneak him in. Maybe as a prisoner and cover him up." Jiraiya stood up and stepped out of the hot spring and started to walk down towards the changing room with a slight sway to step. Before he could make it though one of his bottles happened to roll underneath his foot and the last thing he saw before being knocked unconscious was Kakashi covering his eye with his hand.

-Kaede Hayashi-

He sipped his tea with a bored expression as he read his newspaper. This was his perhaps his café in all of Konoha, but then again he didn't hold much love for the village anyway. It was after all just a temporary assignment that he was here. It wasn't that he hated the village, honestly he didn't even like his own that much, but this village was just too peaceful for his likes. He simply liked the thrill of excitement and the higher pay of his current employer.

The small café held a perfect position being on the main street that leads to its most popular gate, his quaint little table sitting out in the street as he observed passersby. A nice spotted that he had picked out to be his area to grab his morning tea. This morning held no difference in compared to most. Except for when someone sat down at the table right behind him and leaned back against his chair.

"We've been sent a message." Kaede heard the young man whisper from behind him. "Something happened back at base. Kabuto is dead and one of his prisoners has escaped."

Kaede rolled his eyes as the younger man continued to explain what the situation was. He had known for a long time just what kind of experiments took place back in the labs and the monstrosities that would shock all of Konoha into a panic. That's why he was a spy; he was good at getting information. Plus he wanted to stay as far away from there as possible. "Just tell me what he wants me to do." Kaede interrupted.

"He wants you to expose the prisoner their bringing back under guard to the public."

And Kaede grinned as he thought of the fun.
