Back at Hinata's place Naruto unzips his coat and throws himself down on his bed. He replays the events that took place a few days ago, and then the ones that took place that day. Recalling the conversation that Tsunade and he had, he remembers what she said.
"Naruto, there are still a few things we need to cover. First of all, you barely managed to escape with Hinata Hyuga, and event then she is still badly injured. Also, I have a suspicion of why she was the only one taken. As you already know the Hyuga clan is secured by a curse mark on their foreheads, well everyone except the main branch of the Hyuga house. See, if anyone kidnaps a regular Hyuga with a curse mark, then they would have trouble with getting to the roots of the byakugan's secrets. However, that's not the case for someone like Hinata who is and exception to the curse mark. Therefore, she has none, it would also be easier to just take her and use her byakugan with no problem. Now, I don't know what happened to her while she was gone, but there's a high probability they tested things on her. We still don't know for sure, and we can't ask her since she's still unconscious, but just to make sure keep a close eye on her, Understand?"
"Well to be honest I don't, but I sort of got the gist of it. Y'know like how Neji has that thing on his head? Well Hinata doesn't have one, and that's why? Right?" Naruto asks, almost loosing himself in his own explanation.
"Hmm, well basically yes. I guess as long as you understand, then that's fine. Just make sure to be wary of Hinata's actions." Tsunade warns naruto and dismisses him shortly after.
Hinata's face appears in Naruto's head, the way she looked at him when he refused to tell her about the incident. He forced her to make such an empty expression. Hinata was always kindly smiling, even at his horrible jokes. This time though, it really hit him, but he couldn't let her find out, it's not like it'll hurt her to not know, right? Did he do the right thing? He was just thinking about her safety. Gahh, I'm sick and tired of this. All I can think about right now is Hinata. I can't get her out of my head!
"I'm home." Naruto hears as the door from the living room is opened. He pretends to be asleep, and stays lowers his eyes. He listens and hears as Hinata makes her way to her room and shuts the door. There's a bit of shuffling going on, and then it gets quiet.
Hinata puts her things down and let out a huge sight. Since the dream she had earlier she's been a bit scared of going back to sleep. But, hey sleep is important. Can't do much without sleep actually. Hinata changes into some shorts and a tank top, feeling a lot more comfortable she draws the blankets backwards and slides in. Fixes her pillow, enough for her head to accept and then drifts of to sleep.
Once again there's nothing, then that man with the heavy boots comes into view, this time his face appears though it's still a bit blurred. Hinata feels hot, she's sweating and needs to catch her breath. She feels like she's drowning from lack of oxygen. Her lungs yell for an escape. Blood splatters all over the floor. Hinata raises her hand and sees her own fingers soaked in blood. She screams over and over.
Yells and screams wake up Naruto. Hinata is-. He denies to take time and finish his thought, and runs to her. She's awake and staring at her trembling hands. He looks at her, she's shaking like crazy. He takes a step forward and she shoots up, stares at him dead in the eye and says," Why? Why weren't you there?" Her expression was twisted in fear and anger. Naruto keeps walking towards her. "Stay back! Don't touch me!" She barks. She's scared of…him? Her orbs are engulfed in desperation. He moves forward and reaches out to touch her. She flinches and quickly slaps his hand away. This isn't Hinata. She would never do that. Hinata stares Naruto down, but she doesn't see Naruto she sees that bastard from her dream. Naruto won't take any of it and reaches out once again, he's shaken off, but he doesn't give up. He stretches his hands out and hugs Hinata tightly, while she struggles to get free. He hold his grip until he immobilizes her.
"Hinata it's me." He whispers into her ear, sending chills down her back. Bit by bit Hinata begins to realize where she is and her current situation. It's a bit hard for her to breathe, and she can't move. She's being held by Naruto's strong arms, once again. Still her body is steps behind and still quivering, she holds her hands up and lets them hove over Naruto's back then letting them swiftly fall on his back. Hinata can't help but let tears fall down her face, they're out of her control and no matter what she tries her body won't obey her.
After a while, with Hinata still shuddering Naruto tries something different. He lets Hinata lay on the bed, with his body floating above her. She looks incredibly vulnerable, and frail. She continues to weep and attempts to wipe away her tears that won't stop. Naruto takes a hold of her hands and pins both to each of her sides. Shocked, she tries to move them, but they remain glued to the mattress. Hinata is now forced to look directly at Naruto's glowing eyes, they're dark blue right now and look full of sadness, perhaps also a bit of helplessness. He doesn't say anything and she still lays there trembling while her eyes release hot tears.
"N…naru-to-kun?" She stutters. He doesn't respond instead Inch by inch he lowers his head, his lips now just centimeters away from Hinata's. He's hesitant, doesn't know if what he doing is right, or if he can even control himself, but still goes for it. "…Narut-" Hinata is cut short and silenced by Naruto's lips. She immediately stops shaking and her eyes sprout open in shock. Her heart begins beating wildly. Naruto feels like he can hold himself back a bit, but doesn't realize what he's doing. Both of them are rapidly running out of breath. It begins getting extremely hot. Meanwhile Naruto just digs deeper into the kiss pushing Hinata deeper against the bed, she shuts her eyes while he ignores his screaming lungs. At some point he had let go of Hinata's hands that were trying to push against and were now gripping on to his jacket. Breathing out their noses was getting tiresome. Hinata struggled to speak and was hushed. Finally, she parted from the kiss and gasped frantically for air. Naruto did the same, he was in dire need of it himself.
It wasn't enough. He needed more, he wanted more. But, he needed to hold back, he already accomplished what he was going for. Hinata was more focused on the kiss than on her dream. She was now sane and obviously out of air. Still, all of Naruto's instincts told him to keep going that this was alright. He thought he could hold back, that is until she opened her eyes. They fluttered open and stared back at his with an immense feeling. She looked at him feverishly, blush painted her cheeks, her chest was still rising and falling at a rapid pace. Naruto gripped the covers as hard as he could and looked away. In comparison to him, Hinata also wanted more, though she was extremely timid. Naruto looked away from the beauty laying beneath him to control his cravings.
"I'm sorry" he apologized, right before he was about to get off Hinata places both her hands on each side of his face.
"Naruto-kun" was all she managed until she was once again fastened with Naruto's mouth. He wasn't holding back this time, how could he possibly? Both the ninja's fingers intertwined with one another, Naruto had let his weight fall on Hinata while he enjoyed their make out section. Out of breath, they separated. Naruto recalling a similar situation said," I told you didn't I? I'll protect you, even from your nightmares." He grinned and removed himself from Hinata. He was about to leave when she pulled on his jacket. "What? You want me to stay?" he gently smiled. Hinata on the other hand was madly blushing and turning all shades of red. "Okay, okay." Naruto went back in bed with her, and they both gently drifted off to sleep.
