Chapter 21: Demons and Posing!

A week passed as Disara trained Naruto's body for the taming of the fox. Naruto hated all the manual labor and how Disara worked him so hard but he only went with it. Locking away the fox meant keeping Hinata and everyone safe from his demon, that's what he wanted more than anything. Naruto sighed as Disara began to speak again; he hated how she had to explain the training to him every time. Why couldn't she just demonstrate it and get out of the way as he tried?

"Naruto, this is going to be the start for the hardest training you will ever do in your life…" Disara said as she looked to the blonde who sat on the stump unhappily. He had no shirt on since she told him to so she could see the seal for if it were to break during the process they'd most likely all die.

"Let's just hurry up and get started…" Naruto groaned. Hinata was cooking tonight and he didn't want to miss it, she promised to make something similar to spaghetti which was even better than it. It made Naruto excited and he wanted to hurry so he wouldn't be late again for the fifth time this week. He was upset from not seeing anyone but Disara the past 6 days, he had no time to even say hi to Toma since he was training also and when he did say something to Hinata she was already fast asleep in bed.

"You can't rush the process you dumb ass…" Disara growled as she watched the blonde sit there impatiently. "Do you want to die in the process? I can just kill you if you want that to happen, it'd save me a lot of time..."

"I'm not going to let you try to kill me! I just don't want to train so late tonight... I don't want to miss dinner tonight." He yells as Disara sighs knowing that would be what the blonde was complaining about. She placed her hands on her hips and took a deep breath.

"You know what, we'll try to hurry but I'm not promising anything…" She whispers. Naruto smiles at this as Disara begins to approach him he watches carefully. "Now, if Kyuubi tries to get out you have to stop him, it will hurt you no matter what but I have to get in there and seal up a certain thing so you can take chakra without the seal weakening and so you can control Kyuubi… Alright?"

"Sure, I can kick the fox's ass a few times and back." Naruto smiles and does a triumphant laugh to back up what he said.

"Ok now I don't need any of that... I mean the laugh just over did it a little Naruto..." Disara groans as she watches the confusing boy before her.

'Yeah right Kit, I'll be getting out of here soon, I don't plan on having some new seal lock me up.' Kyuubi growls to Naruto. Naruto gulps lightly at the comment as he appears in front of the large cage where Kyuubi slumbers. He watches as Kyuubi begins to hit against the bars and ram into the walls. Kyuubi keeps charging at the walls causing the ground top shake. Naruto loses his balance and quickly regains by using chakra in his feet.

'Hey stop that fox! This is going to help me! I promise I won't keep you in the dark that long!' Naruto yells at him as he hears someone walk up behind him. He turns to see Disara standing there. He wondered how she could be in his mind then he thought about how she had to seal the fox.

'So this is Kyuubi, he looks nothing like Shukaku and Jinchuuriki…' She whispered. The fox heard her and quickly looked at her.

'So you're the one who has sealed up the others… You're the one teaching my Kit to go against me only to save his ass… I'll kill you too just like I did the brats old man...' Kyuubi growled his eyes never leaving Disara's.

'You didn't kill him that easily! He kicked your ass and you know it! Now don't you ever talk about my damn dad that way ever again fox!' Naruto yelled at the fox who just snorted at the comment and ignored the young shinobi focusing on the woman before him who was now starting to crack her knuckles.

'Well then let's get started… Kyuubi meet the seal of Chakra.' Disara said as she approached the cage. Naruto watched as Kyuubi's tails whipped out at Disara. She didn't dodge them as Naruto hurried in and deflected them with a kunai. 'You're a fast learner Naruto; it took 3 hits on me to get Toma to understand he was to protect me.' She smirked at the blonde as she put her hands on the seal that the fourth placed on Kyuubi and began to do some hand signs in front of it. As the tails whipped toward her Naruto fought them off as best as he could.

'You know I should let him hit you as payback for the training.' Naruto smirked.

'You know this will be worth it so shut up and defend me.' Disara smirked at him knowing this would spike the blonde's anger and gets him more motivated to work. After 10 minutes of trying to defend her finally the seal begins to light up a light blue with Disara's hands. The fox howls in pain and backs into the corner of the cage, its tails acting as shields from the seal. Naruto watched as the bars lit up the same color blue and Naruto could feel the overwhelming chakra entering him. Before he knew it he was back outside sitting on the stump with Disara kneeling in front of him with her hand on the seal on his stomach. After a minute she backed away and stood up.

"Now controlling the fox's chakra should be easy… You only have to want more and it will come to you." She says and smiles at the blonde. "Now to block his vision of what you do or what you're doing is a piece of cake. He'll see nothing until you want him to see it, when you want him to see it all you have to do is tell him can in the mind scape. Now that that's over with I want to see you use his chakra to form a Rasengan, I'll be able to tell if you use the red or the blue so don't try to cheat."

"Ok…" Naruto begins to form the Rasengan, hints of red in it now from the fox's chakra as Disara watches.

"Ok now diminish it by reducing it to only your chakra." She orders as he slowly pulls the red chakra out and the Rasengan disappears.

"That good enough Disara-sensei?" He looks up at her.

"Yeah that's good enough, you can go ahead and head back to the house if you want." She says but she looks at him confused as he just stands there looking at her. "Why are you just standing there? Something wrong?" She asks but he shakes his head no.

"Disara-sensei, when I came back from Kyuubi's cell you were still in there... Why?" He asks and she smiles slightly.

"To make sure the seal didn't break."

"Why would it break? I mean has it happened before?" He asks and she gets a serious look on her face.

"It breaks if the holder or vessel can not hold the demon back. It happened to Gaara the first time I tried doing the seal so I did it again right after the first one broke and it worked that time."

"Can it break again? I mean after it works?" He asks.

"No, it won't be able to break again but I wanted to make sure yours didn't break." She said as she picked up all the training tools and the things she used to get into the seal and Naruto's mind to lock the demon up. "You should be fine... Now go back to the house and tell Omari to get his ass out here to help. Relax alittle, you can't strain the seal yet, you have to give it a few hours to get used to being there." She said as the blonde boy stood up. He grinned and ran off towards the house.

The food was great, Naruto didn't understand why Hinata didn't want to eat or why Disara and Omari were out so late but he didn't care. The food was great and he could only chow down more and more for his body was extremely hungry. He had convinced Hinata to make the dish for him when they got to Konoha so all their friends could have it as he thought about the name. Lasagna... It was a heavenly name to him, he loved it since it overwhelmed his mouth with all the spices, meat, sauce, and cheese. But enough about food that was over an hour ago. He decided to sneak into Hinata's room to see her. He snuck up the stairs quietly and slowly opened the door looking around to see if anyone was coming as he slipped inside. Her room was empty but the lights in the bathroom were on. He wondered if she was getting ready for bed or taking a shower. He blushed at the thought as he quietly peeked in the bathroom to find Hinata standing there soaken wet with a towel wrapped around her. The towel was low on her breasts and it came only 3 inches above her knee. She brushed her hair as he quickly hid as she looked his way.When she finished she came out of the bathroom, turning off the light after she exited, and went to the bed where her nightgown lay. She looked around but saw nothing, Naruto hid behind the bathroom door watching through the crack as she dropped the towel. He touched his nose to see if it were bleeding but it wasn't, he remembered what she looked like from the mission he had gone on with her, Shino, and Kiba. He watched as she slipped the gown on. He wanted to reach out and touch all those slender curves and that delicate skin. He noticed that she looked in his direction but he could tell that she didn't know he was there. She turned away and he thought of that as his time to announce he was there. He quietly came out from behind the door and started towards her. She heard the footsteps and froze as she listened to the steps get closer. When his hands went on her arms he felt her shiver slightly.

"Naruto-kun... How long have you been here?" She whispers as she slowly turns to look at him.

"Since you were brushing your hair... You know you should wear it down like this more often..." He whispered as he took some of her hair between his fingers rubbing it softly as she sighed lightly.

"Naruto-kun... You shouldn't be in here I mean you could get-" She starts but she's cut off when his lips meet hers. She melts in his hands as one of his hands go on the small of her back and the other cups the back of her neck. She had wanted this so much, a moment alone with him where nothing else mattered and he gave it to her. Her arms came up slowly, one wrapping around his neck and the other gripping the front of his shirt as she deepened the kiss. After a moment they backed away trying to take a breath.

"Who cares if I get caught, I wanted to see you since I haven't had much time with you the past week..." He whispered as he held her close. She burried her face in the crook of his neck letting all her fears and worries disappear as he held her.

"Naruto-kun... I'm not sure we should... I mean Disara-sensei and Omari-sensei will be back any minute now..." She whispers.

"Shhhh..." He quiets her gently with a finger. "Hina-chan, we won't be doing anything wrong so they can deal... Making out is nothing wrong in my book..." He kissed her again, this time it was more passionate than any time before. Hinata felt herself get lost in him for a few minutes when his lips parted from her. "Come, let's get some sleep..." He whispers as he guides her to the bed. He lowers himself onto it and gently pulls her onto the bed. He wraps his arms around her after he pulls the blankets up over them. "Night Hina-chan..."

"Night Naru-kun..." She whispers and kisses him lightly as they drift off into a deep sleep.

The morning was very slow and it didn't help that Toma was complaining all morning. He had gotten a letter from Sakura which told him about her training and about how Lee and Kiba had been acting lately. She told him about Ino's obsession with trying to get information about him and about how she had finished most of her medic training. Toma was furious when she told him about the whole mission thing though. She stated that she was fine but it was really rough and she wouldn't be surprised if she was to stay in bed for awhile. Naruto got mad at the letter when he first read it but then he thought about it and calmed down greatly. He laughed as Toma paced around the living room cursing as he tried to calm down. Hinata sat quietly on the couch next to Naruto reading the letter from Neji, she had told Neji about Naruto and her and he had told Hanabi. He wrote about Hanabi being glad about it but making sure she wasn't doing anything 'wrong'. She laughed when she read it thinking about hat Neji looked like when he wrote it.

"Wow... Even Neji's talking about it... I mean we can't do ANYTHING 'wrong'? Oh come on just a little should be fine right?" Naruto asked as he read it over her shoulder and layed his head on her right shoulder as he read the letter with her.

"Naruto-kun, we can't do anything yet anyways... We promised Tsunade-chan that we would never do anything at least till we got back, or at least close to the end of the training time..." Hinata said as she folded the letter up neatly and put it back in the envelope. She looked to him to find that he was doing the puppy dog eyes. "Naruto-kun... Please don't give me that face..." She whispers.

"Come on Hina-chan... Please... Just a little wrong, not much... I just want to see Neji's face when we get back." Naruto jumps to his feet. "He'll be doing his normal pissed off stance like this." Naruto posed like Neji did when he was mad. "Then he would try to kick my ass and I'd beat him like before..." Naruto smirks down at Hinata who smiles up at him.

"You need to work on your Neji-nii-san stances Naru-kun... I mean you didn't do it exactly right..." Hinata says as Naruto drops his head in defeat. Toma stops and looks to them.

"Then show us the stance Hinata-chan." Toma says, his temper has finally disappeared and he put the letter away in his room. He leans against the way as he watches Hinata. Naruto looks up at Hinata and she raises her hands in her defense as he pulls her to her feet.

"Come on Hina-chan, if you think your so great you can do it perfect, I mean he IS your cousin after all..." Naruto smiles. As she goes to sit back down he blocks her from the couch.

"I can't do it you guys... I'm not good at the whole mad thing..." She pleads as if to try to get out of the situation.

"Nope your not getting out of it this time Hinata." Toma says and looks at Naruto, who nods his head, then looks to Hinata.

"Come on Hina-chan, do it!" Naruto cheered. She sighed as she tried to do the pose but it fails completely. Naruto stands to and goes to her. He gently corrects the stance and pulls Hinata's hair back. "There ya go, you look almost exactly like him except for these." He gently cups her breasts from behid she quickly pulls away and trips. She falls on the couch and looks to the ground. She's blushing slightly at what had happened as Toma and Naruto started laughing. Hinata looks up at them slowly to find Naruto blushing too.

"You guys that's not funny..." She whispers as they slowly come to a stop. They smile at her and help her to her feet, she smiles as they look to her.

"Sorry but you left the chance wide open Hina-chan." Naruto kisses her lightly.

"I'll get you back, just wait and see..." Hinata says and punches Naruto lightly in the shoulder.
