What Happens Next?
Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.
Clone Sasuke in bold.
Chapter Notation: Hmm I'm not sure if it qualified as a lime or not. But it was citrus flavored? I didn't think warnings were necessary. But be aware some light petting is coming up. Remember, the mission was a bridge. The Sound is the real threat.
Chapter 14
"You sure you are ready for this?" Sasuke asks softly as he offers Hinata his hand, after they finish eating.
"Sasuke, I'm a ninja. B-esides, you at least set some ground rules. I don't think they are stupid enough to argue with you." She says and offers a shy smile.
Hinata takes his hand. The bluenette allows herself to be led off by the Uchiha. Soon enough they were inside the Clone Room and Hinata got an eyeful.
There were some things that couldn't be unseen. One of them were dozens of people and just as many clones, in various stages of lovemaking. Though she admitted privately, that the term lovemaking was a bit of a stretch in some cases. Most of the couples were more interested in lust than love.
"Ah welcome. I'm so glad you could join us. Is this your first time in the Clone Room?" Kasa asks.
"Yes." Hinata says and Sasuke wraps his arms around her, protectively.
He could already see that he was going to have to be the one to do the clone making. Sasuke forms a clone and whispers some reassurances in her ear.
"I must admit that I'm curious. Your Clans are known to have rather icy relations with each other. How did you end up here?" He asks.
"Hinata is a medic. She was tending to my injuries one day and I suppose that's when we noticed our attraction for each other." Sasuke says and places soft kisses to the back of her neck.
"Oh I see. I bet she looked rather adorable in her medic uniform." Kasa replies and Sasuke nods.
Sasuke smiles and tilts Hinata's chin upwards. He places a kiss on her forehead. Then he caresses her cheek and leans in to kiss her.
"There's no need to be shy here, kitten. We aren't in the Leaf anymore. We don't have to hide our feelings for each other as if they are wrong." He murmurs softly, but in a voice loud enough that Hinata was sure at least Kasa heard.
She almost forgot how to breath when he said that. The bluenette had no idea he was such a good actor. It all sounded so real.
Hinata gasps when his mouth captures her own in a heated kiss. She felt Sasuke deepen it. That's when he started seducing her with his tongue and she forgot anyone else was even there.
Sasuke nips her neck lightly and glides his hands over her clothed breasts. It was a surreal, but erotic experience. He could see his clone kissing her, caressing her, and whispering reassurances.
"That's it. Just relax and let me make you feel good." He says as he kisses her neck and glances at the others in the room.
Some were too distracted by their partners to notice them. Others were definitely watching them. It was a tricky situation.
He didn't know how many, if any were also criminal ninjas like Kasa. He'd recognized Kasa instantly from the Bingo Book as their target. Even if they weren't criminal ninjas, the resulting fight would draw too much attention at the hotel. They needed to get him alone.
"Okay." She whispers once the clone breaks the kiss in favor of sliding his hands underneath her shirt.
It felt so good. The gentle kisses against her mouth and back of her neck. Sasuke, well both Sasukes were so warm. She could feel the original Sasuke's muscular chest against her back and lips on her neck. The clone's gentle kisses and caresses against her breasts.
Hinata wasn't sure she could even remember her own name at the moment. The bluenette was certainly too far gone to remember that they were being watched, let alone on a mission. She just leans back into her pretend lover(s) and sighs softly in pleasure.
"OH GOD!" Someone cries out in pleasure and that snaps Hinata out of her daze.
"Sounds like someone is enjoying themselves. Perhaps we should to." He says to make it look more convincing, he squeezes her breasts and slides a hand down her pants, cupping her clothed womanhood.
Sasuke had never touched a woman there before. Even with the fabric of her undergarments in the way, he could tell she was warm and wet. That last part made him feel a little smug.
That part couldn't be faked. She definitely enjoyed being touched, as much as he enjoyed doing the touching. Which made him more than a little irritated at Kasa and everyone else in the room. He had a mission to accomplish and couldn't properly act on that knowledge yet.
"Oh!" She cries out and squirms against his hand.
She probably should have expected it. Saske had said foreplay after. But the sensation of being touched so intimately, was still shocking.
"She's still a little shy." Sasuke says to Kasa.
"Maybe you'd prefer something a more intimate, my love?" He asks her and Hinata nods.
She writhes against his hand. If her brain had actually been working, she would have realized Sasuke was trying to get Kasa alone. But at the moment, it wasn't. The bluenette probably would have agreed to almost anything at the moment.
"Kasa, would you care to join us?" Sasuke asks.
"I thought you didn't share?" He asks and smirks, wondering if perhaps Sasuke had changed his mind after all.
"I don't. But I still enjoy showing off our love in front of others. Hinata is indulging me. Though I suppose the crowd was a little too large for my kitten." Sasuke says and kisses Hinata's forehead.
"In that case, I would love to join you." He says and the two Sasuke's walk off with Hinata, with Kasa following not far behind.
Once inside their room, Sasuke pins Hinata to the bed. He hovers over her, completely dwarfing her small, curvy frame with his larger one. He kisses Hinata heatedly and lets his hands explore her.
He was reveled in the quiet moans and sighs of pleasure she made. The needy whimpers and mews were also making it rather hard to remember they were on a mission. That was far from the only thing that was hard though.
"She's beautiful. The two of you are like a work of art together. The black and blue makes for such a stunning contrast. Hard and soft." He murmurs appreciatively.
Hinata moans into the kiss and wraps her legs around his waist. Both of them grown when their cores brush against each other. She runs her fingers through his hair and arches against him, when breaks the kiss to place soft kisses against her throat.
"The most beautiful woman in the world and thank you. But I have to admit, I'm going to enjoy this more than I should." The Clone says and strikes the other man hard against the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious instantly.
Hinata lets out a confused and needy whimper when Sasuke stopped touching her. It was a close call, but he manages to summon up all his self control not to take it further. Hiashi would have his head if he completely seduced his daughter.
"We got him." Sasuke whispers as he dispels he clone.
"Oh g-ood. That was easy." She mumbles and blushes, embarrassed by how wanton she had been only a few moments before.
"Eh men can only think with one head at a time. He was just thinking with the wrong one in this context. I can hardly blame him though. He was right. You are beautiful. You okay?" He asks.
Hinata nods shyly. She was more than a little frustrated he had just STOPPED like that. But other than that she was fine.
"Good. Let's get home." Sasuke says as he takes her hand and slings Kasa over his shoulder, before teleporting them out of the hotel in a swirl of flames.
Hinata always wondered how the flames didn't burn him. She figured it was because he was using his chakra to power it. So she was surprised, though grateful when they didn't burn her.
They swiftly head back to the Leaf. Sasuke blinks and Hinata gasps in horror, when they saw what happened. It looked like Orochimaru had struck again.
"Hinata, stay close to me. We don't know if the attack is over." Sasuke says.
Neji sighs in relief and races over to Hinata and Sasuke when he saw them approach. Thank goodness, that she had been away on a mission when it happened. It didn't look like she was harmed and they seemed to have captured a prisoner.
"Hinata! I'm so glad you are alright." Neji says.
"Neji, what happened here? Is the attack over?" Sasuke asks.
"We think the attack is over for now. The Sound attacked. They seemed to be more interested in taking hostages than taking over the village. Unfortunately, 25 people were kidnapped. This includes Uchihas and Hyugas." He explains.
Sasuke's eyes widen. Twenty-five people? But who could organize a force large enough to take on that many Uchihas and Hyugas? One member of either of their Clans was formidable.
"Who was kidnapped?" He demands, worried for his parents, Itachi, Izumi, Shisui, and his grandparents in particular.
"Your grandparents and a little boy from the Uchiha Clan are probably most notable. I'm sorry to say that Lady Hanabi was also taken." Neji says with a tragic sigh and Hinata let out a cry of anguish.
Thankfully, Sasuke caught her before dropped to her knees. He held her tightly against him and tries to soothe her. The sobs ever so slowly subsided into quiet hiccups.
"We'll get them back." Sauske promises her.
"Come, Hinata. Lord Hiashi will want to see you and I know that Lord Fugaku and Lady Mikoto will likely want to see Sasuke as well." Neji says.
Sasuke didn't like the thought of leaving Hinata "alone" and he said as much. For a minute, the two rival prodigies just glared at each other. Sparks flying between them in the worst way possible.
"Sasuke, he's right. Your parents will be worried. I'll be alright. I'll have Neji with me. Thank you for worrying about me, though." Hinata says.
"Alright and Neji, if anything happens to her…I will kill you." Sasuke says as he flits off towards the Uchiha District.
"That was MY line!" Neji growls in irritation and races off with Hinata back to the Hyuga Estate.
Once Sasuke was back in the Uchiha District, his parents race towards him. Mikoto embraces him tightly and even Fugaku looked relieved. He hadn't expected that the mission might end up saving his youngest son from being kidnapped.
"You're back! You're okay!" Mikoto cries out and hugs him even tighter.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Neji said a bunch of people got kidnapped. Do they really have grandmother and grandfather? What about Kita?" Sasuke asks.
Itachi sighs. It was hardly happy news to come home to. He just hoped his younger brother didn't lose his head. If they had any hope of getting their loved ones back, they all needed to stay calm and come up with a strategy.
"It's true." He admits and wraps his arms around his wife, who leans into him.
After the attack, she had woken up in an evacuation spot. The Uchiha woman had been utterly furious at Itachi! How dare he knock her out like that?! She wasn't crippled, just because she was pregnant. She tore him to him good, when she saw him later that day.
"Itachi, I see you were injured during the battle." Sasuke says in concern as he looks at his older brother's painful looking, black eye.
"Oh that wasn't from the battle. Izumi was not happy with the methods I used to keep her and our child safe. It will heal. I did deserve it. But I can't regret it. I don't know what I would have done, if she had been abducted." He admits.
"Remind me never to get your wife angry." Shisui mutters and Itachi nods.
Fugaku sighs. He couldn't believe this had happened. They had fallen right into a trap. While battling the Truth Jutsu's impact, they had become exhausted. Clearly, that had been the plan all along. Someone wanted to wear them down and then kidnap members of the Uchiha and Hyuga Clan.
"We will get our loved ones back and make him pay for this." The head of the Uchiha Clan states.
Someone had targeted both Clans very specifically. No one that didn't belong to them, was taken. This wasn't a coincidence and he knew who was responsible.
It had to be Orochimaru. Fugaku was well aware that the Sannin had a snake contract, just like Sasuke. Both attacks had used giant snakes as decoys, this had Orochimaru's name written all over it.
"Did Hinata get home safely?" Mikoto asks.
"Yes, she's fine. Neji is taking her back to the Hyuga Estate. Lord Hiashi must be worried sick. He said that Hanabi was one of those who was taken." Sasuke says with a heavy sigh.
Meanwhile at the Sound, Orochimaru smirks. They were still in the process of identifying who they caught. But he knew one well. Hanabi Hyuga. The youngest daughter of the Clan Head. Delightful.
True, he would have preferred Hiashi himself or even Hinata. But still this was quite the catch. Her bloodline was so undeniably pure. It would prove most useful to his experiments. There was only one problem.
"OWE! Someone gag her!" Orochimaru hisses as the little princess bit him again.
Hanabi is soon gagged. Orochimaru glares at her and looks at his now bleeding hand. The little bitch could bite hard, it seemed.
"I truly expected better manners than that from the daughter of Lord Hiashi. Tsk. Tsk. Did he really forget to tell you that biting people is very disrespectful?" He asks.
"They'll find us and then they are going to kill you!" She hisses.
He chuckles. Orochimaru had to admit the youngest Hyuga Heiress had spirit. That's when he blinks and notices something. She was alone.
Where was the Uchiha boy? He had been there earlier. His eyes widen. He had escaped somehow!
"Where is he?!" Orochimaru demands.
"Where is who?" She asks.
"Don't play dumb with me, girl. It doesn't suit you. When you were taken here, you were with an Uchiha boy. He was in this very room with you earlier. Where is he?" Orochimaru demands.
"I don't have any idea." Hanabi says and blinks when she saw a kunai floating in mid air behind Orochimaru.
Kita? But she couldn't see him. It didn't matter though. The kunai slashes Orochimaru in the eyes and she saw a key unlocking her chains. She didn't see anything, but she could feel a pair of small arms wrapping around her, as Orochimaru howled in pain and they teleported off.
"Kita?" She asks in confusion and suddenly he materializes and collapses in front of her.
"How did you do that?" She asks as she quickly checks his pulse.
"Fire is my secondary chakra type. I'm th-e oddball of our Clan. Wind is my f-irst. Can't do it for l-ong yet. But can become air for a little bit. It's how I got out of the cuffs." He mutters and soon loses consciousness.
Hanabi's eyes widen in panic. She knew that she couldn't defeat the whole Sound Village by herself. Even if Kita was awake, they couldn't do it together. Their only chance was to get out of here and back to the Leaf.
They would then be able to their families where they had gone. That way they could be rescued to. But this was now made very difficult by the fact, she had to drag an unconscious person her.
"You saved me. Now it's my turn to save you." She says and struggles to drag the boy with her back to the Leaf Village.
Back in the Leaf, Hinata arrives at the Hyuga District with Neji. Hiashi comes running towards her. In a shocking display of emotion, he hugs his daughter tightly to his chest.
She could hear other members of their Clan breathe out sighs of relief. They hadn't lost both of their heirs. Lady Hinata was safe. Now they just had to find a way to rescue their other loved ones.
"Are you injured?" He asks.
"No. I'm fine. When we got here, we saw some of the fallen buildings and Neji. Neji explained what happened. I'm so sorry that I wasn't here. Maybe I could have helped somehow." Hinata says in a rush.
Hiashi shakes his head. It wasn't Hinata's fault. Even if she had been here, he doubted the battle would have gone much differently.
If anything, there was a chance she might have also been kidnapped. He had never been so relieved before in all his life. Thankfully, the matchmaking mission had kept her safe.
"It isn't your fault and you mustn't blame yourself. These cowards used the Truth Jutsu to weaken our village. The Uchihas were exhausted. Everyone else had been too busy bickering to realize that an attack was about to be launched. We will save our family members. Do not worry. I promise you, that we will get them back." He whispers to his eldest daughter and embraces her even more tightly, as if he was afraid to let her go.
"Yes, we will." She agrees.
Suddenly, the announcers blare. It was a Code Blue. Code Blue meant the Hokage was calling an emergency meeting of all the villagers who were able to travel to the Village Square. The Hyugas all rush off at once.
"Is everyone here?" Tsunade asks as she looks into the crowd and adjusts her microphone.
"I believe so, My Lady." Shizune says and the busty blonde nods, as she begins.
"As you are all aware, our village was attacked once again. We have reason to believe that they were not after control of our village, but the Hyuga and Uchiha Clans. They only kidnapped people who belonged to those two families. So against my better judgment, I believe the Uchihas should move into the Hyuga Estate temporarily. Their Estate is one building and large grounds. It's easier to defend than several smaller buildings and grounds. This way it will be a united front. The kidnappers will likely be back. They won't expect the Uchihas not to be in their Distinct." Tsunade explains.
Their were gasps of shock. Then there were whispers. The whispers soon ramped into cries of protests and outrage. It was one thing to be in peace talks, it was another to actually be living together.
"THAT IS AN ORDER FROM YOUR HOKAGE. TO DEFY IT, IS TREASON!" She warns them in a voice that sounded more like a lioness's roar than a human shout.
There was some grumbling. Tsunade commands the Uchihas to head off and pack only what they deemed necessary and for the Hyugas to go figure out which rooms to house them in.
Later that day, Sasuke was at the Hyuga Estate. He was out in the gardens, by one of the fish ponds. Hinata was with them and introducing him to the various fish.
"You named them? How can you even tell the difference?" Sasuke asks in amusement, content to listen to her talk about the fish while chaos was going on inside the Hyuga Estate.
"Well that one is fatter than the others, so he sticks out." She says.
"Hinata, they are gold fish. They all look alike to me. I could see your point if they were different species, but yeah." Sasuke says.
"Oh we have lots of different species, we just keep them in separate ponds to prevent fighting." She explains.
Sasuke nods. He wraps his arms around her and looks down into the water. He could see their reflection. The Uchiha decided to indulge in his impulse to hold her. He figured their family members would be fighting over space and moving things for hours. It was the perfect opportunity to indulge in some cuddling.
He wasn't really sure how Hinata felt about him. Obviously, she enjoyed his touch. He smirks remembering that much from the mission. But that didn't mean she actually wanted to be with him. Even Kasa knew their Clans enough to realize that a Hyuga and Uchiha together was almost unthinkable.
"You two look rather comfortable." Itachi notes in amusement as he strides over to them.
The two jump apart quickly, as if burned. Both eyeing the elder Uchiha brother warily. Itachi shakes his head and tries not to laugh at their terrified expressions, they were really too easy to tease. He almost felt guilty.
"Itachi!" Sasuke cries out.
"Relax. I'm not going to tattle on you. I just came to get you because we need all the help we can get with carrying everything inside. I do feel a bit guilty about disturbing your cuddling though. Sorry about that." He says.
"We weren't cuddling!" Sasuke says.
"Uh huh and I'm really a blonde. Foolish little brother, come on. We need your help. You as well, Lady Hinata." Itachi says and Hinata blushes as she gets to her feet.
Sasuke mutter some rather colorful curses and heads off with Itachi. Hinata giggles. She didn't know that Sasuke had such a creative vocabulary when it came to swearing. She heads off and goes to find Neji. Maybe she could help them.
"Hello, Hinata. Would you mind helping me with some of these boxes?" Mikoto asks softly.
"Oh of course." She says and heads over the Uchiha Matriarch.
She knew who Mikoto was. She was the female head of the Uchiha Clan. Even if she didn't know who she was, there was no mistaken her as being anyone but Sasuke's mother. Sasuke had clearly inherited her hair color, skin tone, and eyes. Itachi looked more like Fugaku.
"Thank you." She says with a sweet smile.
"Was that true about the handcuffs?" Hinata asks shyly.
"Oh of course it was. Men can be oblivious sometimes. So every once in awhile, it becomes necessary to be rather…blunt about what you want. You can borrow them, if you want. I still have them." She says and smiles mischievously.
"I w-hat?!" Hinata stammers out and can feel her face heating up.
Mikoto giggles. She really was such a cute little thing. So shy though. Well maybe Sasuke would be able to help her with that. Hmm the handcuff thing might have been a little overboard, she supposed. Maybe something smaller, would be better. Perhaps some nice high heels and a little black dress? One couldn't go wrong with the classics.
