-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

Hinata silently pushed the entrance door open, careful not to make a sound. Cautiously she tiptoed across the hallway, hoping to get to the stairs without noise as possible. Her breath was caught in her throat and she skidded smoothly with a bite on her lip. It was in the middle of her steps that she stopped to wonder, why was she acting so scared? Standing up straight, she took a deep breath for confidence. She need not be scared, not in this house.

There was no one to please in this house anymore, she thought. Not her father.

The marriage will be months away but time passes by quickly without notice. Hinata resolved that she would spend her time in the mansion with a different empathy and for once in her life would she walk dauntlessly and intensively. It was true that not all memories have been worth keeping and pleasant, but this home is where she knew family and its importance -this is where her mother had been. Kakashi even managed to make his mark in the mansion; they have shared very special moments alone.

The scene they must have made in the teahouse dawdled in her head. She was beyond happy but a tad surprised of what happened. Shino confessed his liking to her, Naruto joining them to add further stress, Kiba occupied with thoughts which rarely happened, and of course, Neji, finally putting the sprinkles on her ice cream. It flabbergasted her thoroughly -to have them all in one place -agreeing to be the godfathers of her future children, toasting for her engagement, and later on did they finally talk like old friends and Hinata knew they actually had fun with each other's company. It was the perfect wedding gift she could ever receive. Though Naruto was still insisting she would choose him to be her final groom and had several glare and growl clashes with Kiba.

"Where do you think you're going? Don't tell me you forgot again!"

Hinata spun around on her heel to find her younger sister with a frown, clenched fist on waist, wearing an apron.

Hinata mentally whacked herself with a hammer. How could she forget!

Last night, she got too occupied in the hospital. She had to keep herself busy after her unsettling moment with Kakashi, his dangling question leaving her pointlessly dumb and so she forgot to go home early and made her sister disappointed with her.

She said sorry this morning before going to the hospital and Hanabi gave her a warning that if she forgot again, she would despise Kakashi and blame him for her forgetfulness. Hinata was a people-pleaser but found her sister's threat too silly that she still accomplished to overlook it. But now that she could feel the burning glower her sister gave her, Hinata knew she better make it up to the younger Hyuga.

With a smile Hinata bowed her head and made an excuse. "I was about to change for dinner, if you don't mind."

"Lame excuse, Hinata-chan," Hanabi replied, rolling her eyes. She eyed her sister from head to toe. "Like you need to change? Hurry up, 'Tou-san is waiting."

Hinata watched her sister give her a wink and leave her to returning back to her duties. Her palms became sweaty and her feet got cold as she headed towards the dining area. So now her sister punished her by inviting their father. How convenient… Approaching her father was never an easy thing to do. He literally scared her with his white eyes -one of the reasons why she came to hate her eye-color because it reminded her so much of his wrath and his constant unsatisfied scowling.

"Good evening, 'Tou-san," Hinata greeted him in a low voice and he exchanged her polite manner with a light nod. She kept her head down as she entered the room, taking her place on his left side of the table.

"Hospital?"

"Hai, 'Tou-san," she replied.

"Do you know that Kakashi-san visits me often?" he asked, not looking at her, keeping his gaze somewhere else. "I know he means well and I am impressed but doesn't he know that I have known him long enough –more than I've even known you?"

It sounded harsh but the statement was true, considering that Kakashi was older than she was. It made her stomach turn and she did not know why.

Well, Kakashi, she thought jealously. Seems like 'tou-san favors you more than he will ever favor me.

"I am afraid that I know too much about him now," Hiashi said, his voice sounded quite amused. He looked at her and made a faint smile. "In fact, I have invited him to dinner."

Hinata's eyes involuntarily widened in response, quickly darting to the empty seat beside her. Why didn't she notice that there was an extra set of plate and silverware? A formal dinner!

Her heartbeat speeded in her chest, a thousand different images of what could happen tonight run through her mind like small tornadoes.

Why didn't Kakashi inform her again?

That idiot, she thought. He sure likes to put me in extreme situations.

"H-hai…" she mumbled, keeping her head down to make sure he did not see completely how flushed her face was. "H-how kind of y-you, t-tou-san…"

Hiashi smirked at her and he raised his brows. "And I thought you got rid of that absurd stammering of yours." He let out a little laugh. "Don't tell me I'm kind, daughter. He is your fiancé, it is only natural to invite him for dinner once in a while."

"H-hai," she replied again, altogether with a gasp. How was she to deal with this? She handled Shino's confession way much better. This was of a different level. Her blood boiled at the thought of Kakashi. Her walk down the isle seemed a longer way than she imagined it would be. He surely would not have any kisses until she gets to cool down. And that idiot! she screamed in her head again. How could he be late!

Hinata couldn't have felt more grateful for her sister when she entered the room with a tray on her hands. She noticed that the girl's cheeks were flushed but obviously, it was unlike hers' -a deep crimson which was caused by embarrassment not because of some cooking jumble.

Few servants trailed behind Hanabi, carrying more plates of food, setting it on the table.

Hanabi sat across her and let out a deep breath. "That was hard! I only cooked one dish though!" She was about to laugh at herself when the empty seat beside Hinata caught her eyes. Folding her arms across her chest, she raised a cynical brow. "Where is he? He is late, just like I thought!"

Hinata shrank in her chair, feeling doped. What a day…

"You prepared early, Hanabi," Hiashi told his daughter at once. He smiled faintly. "I expect you to give Kakashi-san some respect later, agreed?"

Hanabi frowned but nodded. "Of course, 'Tou-san. But I will not spare my own sister the torture of my special teasing…!"

Hiashi laughed quietly and shook his head. He turned to Hinata and sighed. "You must at least give her this little happiness. Understand that she is fearing your union with Kakashi-san."

Hinata blushed. Not because of Hanabi's words. Simply because of the way her father gave her that look, the way he talked to her. Something painful and itchy hit the back of her nose, her senses alerted for tears. She bit her lip to stop if from eventually quivering. It felt difficult to control the sobs that formed down the pit of her stomach and heart. The substance of it all smacked her with so much pain and happiness, it was difficult to bear that the moment the servants came to announce that their guest arrived, she quickly excused herself to greet him.

Hinata run quickly towards the lobby of their mansion and at the sight of smiling jounin, she flung her arms around his neck and let the tears she had been holding fall freely, wetting his shirt. She tried to keep her sobs silent as she buried her face against his chest. She hardened her grasp on the back of his shirt. "I… I should be mad at you right now but… I'm… I'm so happy…"

Kakashi put his arms around her and smoothed her hair. He kissed the top of her head. He said nothing but offered only his presence of comfort.

"He… 'Tou-san… smiled," she said between sobs. She looked up at him and smiled. "Oh Kakashi… how I wish I've seen it before. How I wish…" She clung to him again.

"Hush now," Kakashi whispered, kissing her tears. He wiped the stray teardrops with his fingers and kissed her lips, making her glow. "We need to get there. He might think I'm kidnapping you or something."

"Baka." Hinata couldn't help a soft giggle. She took calming breaths and gave him a smile. "I'm just so happy… He was kind to me."

"I understand," he said meaningfully. He smiled and took her hand. "Now, let's show him we belong together, ne?"

Hinata nodded. "Hai!"

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

They entered the dining room hand in hand and Kakashi let her take her seat first.

The man of the house greeted him with a smile while the new clan heiress gave him a smirk.

Hinata's heart was pounding in her chest and it was hard to hold her knife and fork because of her trembling fingers. Her eyes were glued to her plate, trying hard not to look at anybody. It was so inviting to see the look on Kakashi's face, her father's mood and Hanabi's dagger throwing eyes but everything felt so new to her that she chose to keep to herself.

The food was tasty as always but Hinata knew she couldn't take another bite in her mouth. She pushed her plate an inch from her and placed her hands on her lap. She then noticed that nothing was going wrong.

Hiashi was eating peacefully, once in a while exchanging small chats with Kakashi. Hanabi did not miss to give her slick comments though.

They're too used to have me silent, Hinata presumed and knew it was more than okay to keep her mouth shut. No use stammering again. She then felt something warm and familiar take hold of her hand under the table. She almost gasped with fear and flattery. Her eyes went to Kakashi and he just smiled at her innocently. He was eating with one hand, his other under the table clutching hers. She quickly looked away.

"So how many children will you have?" Hiashi asked.

Hinata swore she heard a little waver in the question though it was asked with too much firmness. Her eyes widened even more with this, her face flushed intensely. She quickly looked at Kakashi's smiling eye but knew that behind the mask he was flushed as well. His hand went cold of the question.

Ha! That's what you get for eating dinner with my father! Hinata told him mentally.

Then the question whirred in her mind. Children? Oh my goodness… children with Kakashi… Hinata took a deep breath and squeezed his frozen hand harder with hers. She wanted by all means to let go of him and faint but she needed to hold onto something before she collapsed dead on the dinner table. Her father was a master of bringing her so much distress. Wasn't she thinking the same thing about Kakashi an hour ago?

Kakashi made a gulp and cleared his throat. "I really want a lot of children, if Hinata won't mind, that is. But my priority is to have at least three sons to carry my name."

Hiashi nodded and took a sip of his wine. "Well, considering that my daughter is still young -you'd have no problem with time, if you know what I mean."

Hinata felt like she was dancing naked right then and there. She swore she felt Kakashi choke and she might as well have died a silent death on her chair. The breaths she took were thicker and shorter, yes… she was going to die with less exaggeration.

Kakashi did choke secretly but quickly regained consciousness. He laughed and nodded. "I'm perfectly aware of that, Hiashi-sama, and I must never cease to thank you because of your approval of our relationship."

"Nonsense, Kakashi-san," Hiashi quickly replied. "I would not have given my daughter to just anyone -not to those silly children she hangs around with. I'd rather a man of experience and wisdom and you, my future son-in-law -just perfect for her."


Way to go, 'tou-san, Hinata thought, trying hard not to smile, but giving Kakashi a secret 'you-impress-me' glance.

-:-:--:-:--:-:--:-:--:-:--:-:--:-:-

Kakashi made his leave formally to the family. Hinata was the last one he said goodbye to, whispering something in her ear before leaving.

"Don't lock your window. I'll be right up," he said, only for her to hear.

His soft murmur sent a warm sensation through her body that all she got to do was nod and wave goodbye. She quickly headed for her room but gave Hanabi a quick peck on the cheek and boldly, ever so quickly gave her father a hug. Before he could say anything, she sped up to her room and locked it behind her. She rushed to her bathroom and freshened herself.

She then headed for her window and opened it wide. The cold wind blew through her and she closed her eyes. Though the breeze was iced, she felt warm and satisfied tonight. What a day it had been…

Her heart tightened, knowing the presence behind her. How does he do that? She opened her eyes and turned around. She found him sitting on the edge of her bed, hands on his thighs. A small smile crept her lips and meekly walked to his signal to sit on his lap. Her hands quickly went to touch his gray hair, slowly massaging his temples and his scalp.

He closed his eyes and sighed.

Hinata shifted to straddle him while they sat on her bed, caressing his face and hair. She kissed the cloth of his mask where his lips were nothing but a known texture. "Kakashi… you never told me you and 'Tou-san get along very well. In fact, you never tell me anything at all."

"I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you, I promise," he whispered as she kissed his mask.

Hinata gently pulled his mask from his face and let out a breath of comfort as she found his face, beautiful even in the darkness. She bent down and placed a warm kiss on his thin lips, wrapping her arms around his neck to pull him closer. Her blush deepened when she felt his tongue lick her lips. She placed her hands on his vest and slowly pushed it from his arms, reaching for his shirt and pulled it from his pants, she did all these while kissing him. He groaned as the breeze caught his naked chest and he stopped her addicting mouth from his, holding her arms in place. She felt his arousal under her own as he took a look at her. "We can't have sex."

"I want to make love," he answered seriously, slowly pulling her jacket from her body. He kissed her collarbone and slid his fingers behind her back and began to pull the top from her body. He unconsciously licked his lips as he caught sight of her bound breasts but felt his erection harden even more when she teasingly shook her head. He laughed at her and shrugged. "If I were a stranger, I'd find you pathetic."

Hinata grunted at him and slapped her hands on his chest. "And I you."

Kakashi snorted as he secured his lips on her cleavage, inhaling her soft perfume. He playfully slid his fingers on the waistband of her back, tracing the hem of her lace panties. She moaned and pressed closer against him, her hands snagging on his neck and shoulders. He run his tongue between her glowing breasts and he chuckled. "Dinner was good but this is better."

Hinata pulled his hair. "We already had dessert." She gently tugged on the knot of his eye patch and forehead protector and slowly pulled it from his head. She continued to stroke his scalp lightly with her fingernails. She tried hard to be steady and be calm, ignoring the burning sensations -the circling motions Kakashi's fingers traced on her back. Her breath hitched when his touch shifted to the back of her bra, skillfully unhooking it.

He placed his palms on her back where the straps had been, securing her form closely as he held her in place. He was in so much pain and pleasure -she was sitting right under his erection and he knew the thin shorts that she was wearing provided no protection. He cursed under his breath as she moved a little, pressing much closer. He slowly pulled the garment from her chest, leaving a dark flush on her face. That blush really never ceased to amuse him and arouse him. He kissed her smooth cheeks and her shut lids that covered those pale eyes that he loved dearly, her little nose and sweet lips. He embraced her firmly against him, feeling the swell of her breasts and nipples against his. Another groan escaped his lips as she rubbed against his heated skin, crushing her hardened nipples and squeezing her breasts to mold and form on him.

He looked away from her face as she continued to grind her chest against him, trailing kisses up and down his throat, slightly letting her hot tongue run a line from his heart to his neck. He couldn't look at her while he let too many things run through his head. All he could think of was making love to her, rutting her on the bed, on the floor, against the windowpane, helplessly on the corner of the room, on the tub -with or without water, on the dinner table, and in the Ramen House… anywhere… everywhere as long as they were together. The choices and places were endless, positions more than a thousand jutsus.

His little nymph moaned as she bit on his earlobe, letting her tongue graze on it. She bathed him with her longing kisses. He reached down under her and quickly unlocked his pants to let his erection out.

Hinata gasped again as Kakashi's hand freed the erection from his pants and she hesitated. She wanted to but she couldn't. She started to pull back. "I'm s-sorry… But…"

Kakashi quickly shook his head and started to kiss her again. He held one breast and gave it a squeeze. "I'm… not totally out of control…" He licked her other breast as he leaned down and reached for her soaked panties.

Hinata closed her eyes as he slid his hand inside her pants and started his pursuit to rub her mound. She then struggled to take off her pants.

"No... Keep it… on," Kakashi said between his suckling. He then pulled back and licked his lips. "It's safer that way but… could you do a favor for me?"

Hinata flushed even more as she tried to catch her breath. "W-what is it…?"

Kakashi smiled, not taking his hands off from her. "H-hold onto me."

She nodded, knowing what he was intending them to pull off and locked her arms around him. She then felt his hand move on her again, just rubbing her, and his other snaked its way between them, under her pants and grabbed his own erection and started to pump himself.

Slowly she felt one finger slide inside her, making her pant. He pushed another and started to quicken his pace on both hands. She shut her eyes close as she felt herself convulsing with his touch and grit her teeth against the flesh between his neck and shoulder. Slowly she felt herself rock her hips against Kakashi's hand, easing the load for him a bit.

She was amazed with this man -his ambidextrous hands proved its worth. Then she came without warning, bursting her juices on his palm. She didn't know why she felt so flustered and embarrassed as she kept close against his neck to hide her face -her breathless expression.

Kakashi whimpered as he felt her orgasmic fluids wet his hand abundantly and he kept his hand there, carefully cupping her.

Hinata then felt Kakashi's body gave a final push and she heard a soft squirt and felt something hot and sticky dribble from her chest and belly. Her eyes searched to see the substance but Kakashi quickly hugged her against him, soaping the fluid between their bodies.

He fell back on the bed and she with him. He slowly slid his hand from her pants and brought his Hinata-drenched fingers into his mouth and started to clean it with his tongue. He felt Hinata shift and balance herself above him and gave him a surprised frown. He, in return, chuckled as he sipped on his fingers like a child. His finger-sucking stopped when she leaned lower and smoothed her tongue on his chest. She looked at him with daring eyes and licked her lips. His mouth dropped open.

"Well… that was new," Kakashi said, still quite surprised, too much impressed. He pulled her back down against him and smoothed his palm on her back. "Your family likes me."

Hinata giggled and sighed. "You bet."

"I'm really happy, Hinata," he said seriously, giving her waist a soft squeeze. "I actually feel like family here. I mean, Hiashi-sama is like a father in some weird way, Hanabi's like a little bratty sister," he paused and chuckled and seriously added, "and you, my wife."

Kakashi closed his eyes as he felt his heart thudding in his chest. Saying that took a lot of courage. He wondered what she looked like after he said this. He glanced down at her head, but she had her face against him. "Hinata…?"

She was still, like her breathing.

"Hinata? You're not listening," Kakashi said, his voice almost sounded like he was a teacher in class. Well, they were close to teacher and student, only they were naked in bed.

"Hmmm…" was all she said.

Kakashi snorted as he shook his head, giving her hair a kiss. So much about talking after making love. He stared at the ceiling of her room for a while and found himself drifting off to a very comforting deep sleep.

A.N. Oolala…! Now wasn't that confusing? I hope I didn't flabbergast you people with their pose, ahahahahah… believe me, everything is possible. So… please review on the story not the position they tried to do… Please, I beg of you… I just had to have a second lemon in the fic because what is rated M for, right!

Sorry if there are some grammatical errors and silly mistakes. I just wanted to post and get it over with.

I'm lazy, btw. So bear with me.

Love Lots,

Goshikku Seirei
