Naruto stepped into his apartment, dirty, tired, and exhausted. He took off his shirt and his pants, and got into the shower. It had been awhile since he had been in the shower, and he was completely drained. That fight had almost killed him, he was lucky he was standing at this point. He cleaned the dirt off of his body and cleaned up his cuts and such, all without noticing Hinata slipping into the apartment behind him. She had hidden herself behind the couch as he got into the shower, and when she realized what he was doing, thought that she might want to join him. She took off her jacket and headband, and engaged her Byakugan to find out exactly what he was doing.
"Oh… my…" She thought to herself. "Its larger then I…" She began to think, looking where she shouldn't have been, when she noticed something. Naruto had cuts all along his chest and back, and they were fresh. He went to clean one, and he let out a yelp of pain as the soap touched his bloody flesh. The Kyuubi had begun to make them heal, and Naruto was lucky he had, or he might not have survived. Seconds later Naruto stepped out of the shower, and put on his boxers.
Hinata snapped back into reality. "Oh no! What am I going to do!?" She thought panicking, running into his bedroom, and moving straight towards the sliding glass door. When she tried to open it, it wouldn't budge. Apparently a chair from outside had lodged it shut.
"SHIT!! If he catches me looking at him and sneaking into his house he will never speak to me again!!" She thought.
Tap… Tap… Tap… Was heard as Naruto walked down the hallway and into his bedroom, turning to the glass door, and gazing out at the setting sun.
"So… tired…" He said, yawning and putting on his new pair of pants. "I wonder where Hinata is right now." He said to himself, a blush coming across Hinata's face as she stuck to the ceiling about ten inches above his head. Naruto walked over to the bed and got in, and went to sleep quickly.
As soon as she was sure he was asleep, she lowered herself gently to the ground, and began to slowly creep out the door, trying to be silent. As Hinata shut the door it made a small creaking noise, and then it clicked shut. She was in the clear, and all she had to do was get her headband and jacket and get out of here.
"Hello Hinata-chan." Said Naruto, standing directly behind her topless.
…Or so she had thought. Poof! Was heard from Naruto's room as the bunshin released itself.
"Gomen!! Gomen gomen gomen!!" Hinata began to say over and over again, trying to apologize as the blond looked at her with a peculiar look on his face.
"Gomen ne sai! Please Naruto, I'm truly sorry! I came to see how you were because you had disappeared and so I followed you home and you"
Naruto released the kiss he had given her, and smiled into her silvery pearl eyes, which was his way of telling her it was alright. Hinata looked back up at him, and tears came to her eyes.
"Where" sniff "were you? What happened?" She sniffed again. "I saw your cuts and bruises so don't even think about telling me you were fine!" She yelled a bit, and then recoiled back from him against the door, as more tears streamed down her cheeks.
"I went to help Shikamaru and Kakashi…" He began, his eyes averting away from her silver gaze. "They were going up against two members of the Akatsuki… Shikamaru killed one and I killed the other. BUT! I used my new Jutsu! I can't hold it for a long time, but if I"
A slap cut him off, and Hinata was still crying. "Don't you ever scare me like that again!" She yelped, then grasping him tightly around the waist. "You may be my hero, but don't worry me like that, I worried enough about you when you were away with that perverted old man, I don't need any more of it." She said, grasping him harder then before, her tears streaming down his bare chest.
Two arms wrapped around Hinata's waist, and pulled her upwards into a kiss. "Gomen Hinata-chan, gomen ne sai…" Naruto said, Hinata getting lost in his clear blue eyes. Hinata slid her hand from around his waist to her own back, and opened the door, all while kissing him. The door slowly creaked open, and they backed into the room. They backed up to the point where Hinata fell onto the bed, and pulled Naruto down on top of her. For a few minutes, they rolled around on the bed just holding and kissing each other, nothing really serious, and then Naruto slid his hand up, and cupped her breast lightly. Hinata was startled to say the least. It was one of her fantasies coming true, and she turned red immediately.
Naruto noticed and moved his hand away, saying, "Gomen ne" yet being cut off as Hinata's index finger rested on his lips, shushing him. She lightly grabbed his hand and replaced it under her breast, and kissed him again. By this time it was dark out, and the half moon was shining in through the window, bathing her silhouette in moonlight.
As Naruto backed off from kissing her, he followed the curve of her stomach all the way up to her breasts, and then followed her neck to her gentle face. He smiled at her, until he saw something behind Hinata on the next building outside. Naruto was startled, and he sat up, and then rushed to the window.
"It can't be…" He thought, and then as the pink streak sped off, tears falling down her cheeks, Naruto turned to Hinata, kissed her and said, "I have to go, Ill be back." The fox boy didn't even bother to grab a shirt, and ran out the door.
"Naru..to?" Hinata said, sitting there confused… and disappointed.
