Drabble Twenty-Six: Whipped (335)
Couple: NaruHina, suggested SasuSaku
Warning: None, really. No spoilers, no nothing.
She enjoyed the sight of the fist cloud of smoke coming from the chimney of a cottage. She smiled under the porcelain mask, painted red, resembling a cat. Her opalescent eyes could be seen through the slits in the white, and they shined in the moon like a true felines. No pupils and soft, strange for a human and an ANBU operative, but, she was a strong contradiction to her family anyway.
Nodding to the squad behind her, her eyes widened at the sight of a fox in the group. She hadn't noticed him coming, why had he come? "Fox," she murmured, gesturing to the ANBU. He, as apparent from his build, leapt in front of her, and she scowled, though not visible through the mask. She waved the others away. "Naruto-kun," she hissed, her hands clenching into fists, "What are you doing here?"
He chuckled softly, slipping the porcelain from his face. His bright blue eyes shined in the rays of the setting sun. She followed his suit, pulling the cat from her. "Well, Hinata-chan, I just wanted to watch."
She scoffed, before grinning lightly, "Naruto-kun, you're the Hokage now, if they find out you slipped off to accompany me on a mission, the general might have me discharged."
"Don't worry, he won't. I promise. Sasuke wouldn't do that. Not while Sakura is pregnant, he'd never hear the end of it." Naruto laughed slightly, "I never imagined Sasuke-teme as whipped, it's amusing."
"Naruto-kun," Hinata's voice was full of exasperation. "You have to go back, Konoha needs you more."
He looked at her, pleading, "Please, let me help. I promise I'll be good, just… I want a little break. All that paperwork…" he shivered at the memory of the mountain of scrolls he had left behind.
She sighed, wearily, "Alright, you can stay, Naruto-kun, but," she replaced the mask, "You have to be careful, deal?"
He nodded, slipping his own fox mask on, "Yes, Hinata-chan!"
"And Sasuke's whipped?" she teased, jumping away.
"HEY! NOT FAIR!"
