What is Love?

Chapter 37

Naruto groaned as he walked down the street, Tenten, and Neji behind him, carrying Hinata between them. Everything in his body creaked and ached as he did his best to keep moving forward.

In truth, he agreed with his body. He just wanted to lay down, close his eyes and sleep for a couple of weeks…ok a couple of months but who's counting? Turning his head slowly while still moving forward he looked at Neji and chuckled.

"Ok…no offense Neji…but I think in hindsight I should have challenged Hiashi."

Neji chuckled as he looked over at his cousin, glad that at some point she had passed out.

Although the chakra ropes that Naruto and his clones threw around her had held her tight, she struggled enough that everyone, even the Shinto priests were sure she was going to get loose at any minute…which prompted the abbot to ask them to leave. Neji couldn't blame them…he might have chucked them out as soon as Hinata put her fist through the door!

Surprisingly, Hinata passed out about half way past the Hyuga compound…thankfully.

A simple genjutsu made them appear to be drunken friends walking home…but if they had gotten to close to the compound, any Hyuga who actively looked at them with the Byakugan might have noticed the deception immediately. Again thankfully, no one had noticed or tried to stop them.

They got to Naruto's house and he leaned against the door jamb and fumbled with his keys. His entire right side hurt, his head throbbed painfully, especially from where Hinata had head butted him, and he could barely move either of his arms. He had definitely had better days.

Neji frowned as he watched him. Hinata did a job on him…he can barely move.

Neji held up Hinata and gestured for Tenten to go help Naruto with the door.

Tenten nodded then walked over and gently took the keys from Naruto and opened the door. Naruto grinned at her then walked into the house and turned on the lights.

Tenten walked in behind him then Neji came in after, carrying Hinata.

Naruto pointed to the stairs as he wobbled to the kitchen. "First bedroom on the left…that's our room…put her there."

Neji watched him almost fall as he made it into the kitchen. He looked at Tenten who looked at him with concern and he nodded before mouthing "help him" to her.

Tenten walked into the kitchen as Naruto leaned heavily against the counter.

Unknown to Tenten, Fana was giving Naruto the butcher's list.

"It seems she likes your right side pup. Three cracked ribs, a break in your left forearm, broken right cheek bone, right eye swollen shut, left eye half closed, split lip, broken right pinky and ring finger, right dislocated shoulder, right kidney bruised, cracked right hip, cracked skull over your right eyebrow…and a partridge in a pear tree. I think she succeeded in making you look like she kicked your ass."

Naruto nodded as he reached into the refrigerator and pulled out a steak and pressed it to his right eye. "I keep seeing this in cartoons…does this actually work?"

Tenten frowned then took the steak from him and put it back on the plate in the refrigerator. "No. Ice will work better…but you cannot use it yet…you have to finish it."

Naruto looked at her incredulously. "What? We have to boink tonight?"

Tenten smirked but nodded. 'Yes…Neji had called for the doctor earlier today and told him to be here by five am. It's 2:30 a.m. now, so you don't have much time."

Naruto grumbled and Fana laughed before shaking his head.

"Well pup…looks like you might make it before six interruptions. Course the night is still young."

Naruto turned inward and chuckled himself. "I'd tell you to shut up, but I'm too tired. I've only ever felt this bad once before, and I still want to kick his ass when I find him again."

Fana nodded as he considered Naruto's statement.

"Sasuke. Is he even worth going after pup?"

Naruto shrugged as he leaned heavily on the counter before straightening again. "I gave my word…I know you think she doesn't deserve it, and you're probably right, but I never go back on my word…I will find a way to bring Sasuke back, and then Sakura can do whatever she wants from there."

Fana shrugged as Naruto turned and slowly walked out of the kitchen and up the steps even more slowly until he reached the top. Placing a hand against the wall he almost fell then shook his head, which didn't help but actually made things a little worse, but he was able to hold himself mostly upright as he continued down the hall until he reached the master bedroom.

As he looked in he saw Neji standing down at the foot of the bed looking down at Hinata's prone form. She was still asleep, and he had covered her with a blanket. They both knew it might be a while before the effects of the chakra boost and her subsequent rampage wore off…but Naruto had to do this before this doctor showed up…he just wasn't sure if he could…not without some serious healing from Fana.

"Which I cannot give you right now."

Naruto blinked as he stayed stuck to the doorway. "Oh why not?" He whined. Fana only chuckled.

"Hello? Doctor?"

Naruto wobbled over to the bed as he nodded. "Oh yeah…right…" All of his bones and joints ached more and more with each step, and he leaned on the foot board for support and sighed.

Neji looked at him and frowned deeply. Naruto looked like death warmed over. He wasn't sure if Naruto could complete the act, let alone stand upright for another few seconds! "Are you alright Naruto? I know Hinata gave you a pounding...but you look worse for wear then I originally thought you were."

Naruto nodded as he walked over to the other side of the bed, but that was as far as he got. His vision started to spin and his head began throbbing unbearably. As he fell forward all he could think about was how beautiful she looked lying there.

O

Neji rushed over and yelled for Tenten. Remembering the basic first aid he had to learn at the academy he checked Naruto's pulse then looked at his pupils. "Crap…his injuries must be worse then I thought." Tenten rushed in then ran over to where Neji knelt.

"I think he is in shock…go and get a medic…Sakura…I think she is off tonight so hopefully she will be at home!"

Tenten nodded then rushed out of the room and out of the house as Neji pulled Naruto to his feet and walked him to one of the other rooms. As carefully as he could he laid him on the bed, put a pillow under his feet, and placed a blanket over him.

Running his hand over his body, and using the Byakugan, Neji was able to push the ribs back into place and press the bone in his arm back into place and nodded as he watched the bones stay in place and mend. So it is true…he is able to heal more rapidly then normal. I wonder how much of that is the Kyubi and how much is his heritage. Neji watched for a moment then whispered to Naruto. "If you can hear me, do not heal him too quickly…the doctor needs to see the injuries."

As Neji watched, the healing process seemed to slow and almost come to a stop and he nodded approvingly. "Good. We thank you great one."

Neji took Naruto's wrist and held his arms parallel to his body and placed his foot against Naruto's side. Neji grinned as he looked at him. "Ok…this is going to hurt a bit, feel free to cry out if you must."

Of course, Naruto didn't respond.

Neji pulled Naruto's arm until a sickening pop could be heard. His body jerked as he grunted, but there was no other reaction from him as Neji laid his hand back on his chest.

Good...all I need to do is set his cheek bone and Sakura can worry about organ damage if there is any. Hmmm. I will have to stall the doctor though. There is no way Him and Hinata are doing anything today.

"Neji? Where is Naru-kun?"

Neji turned and blinked. "Hinata? You are up a lot faster then I thought you would be. How are you feeling?"

Hinata frowned as she rubbed her backside. "Ok I think…but my denbu hurts."

She blushed hard as she was saying this…not quite comfortable telling Neji such personal things.

"Naruto is here Hinata…he is not doing badly, but not doing very well either."

Hinata walked over then gasped and put her hand to her mouth as she took a good look at him. "Did…did I do that?"

Neji nodded. "You don't remember?"

Hinata blushed as she thought about it. "The last thing I recall Naruto had gotten angry because I didn't want to hurt him anymore…" She rubbed her backside as she looked at her feet, feeling like she was five years old. "And he spanked me…"

She frowned as she thought about it…not even her father had done that!

Neji's eyes widened and he looked at Naruto again and gave him a "thumbs up" where Hinata couldn't see it. I never thought he had it in him. "That's all you remember?"

Hinata nodded her head as she walked over and laid a hand on his chest. "Oh my poor Naruto-kun…what have I done to you?"

Neji frowned then shrugged his shoulders. "What needed to be done? The doctor cannot deny that he was in one hell of a struggle with you, now all we need is for the two of you to consummate the marriage."

"But…there is no way, not in the condition he is in."

Neji grinned as he pulled out a small tube and placed it in Hinata's hand. "Use this."

Hinata looked at it then frowned before looking up at Neji. "What is it?"

Neji didn't quite smile. "It is a crème that will help you to "arouse" him. Rub it on his penis, and even in this state he will get an erection…I do not think I need to tell you what else to do."

Hinata blushed so deeply Neji was sure she would faint. Indeed Hinata felt herself begin to swoon as she thought of what Neji was suggesting. Neji held up a hand to forestall what she was going to say.

"The doctor will be here in less then two hours Hinata. She will want to examine you both for obvious reasons. If your hymen is still intact when she gets here, then the council will not recognize your marriage to Naruto…and Hiashi will have found a way to stop you from seeing each other again or worse. Do you really want to take that chance?"

Hinata looked at the tube in her hand again then shook her head negatively. "I know what to do. Please go downstairs so my husband and I can have some privacy?"

Neji smiled as he bowed to Hinata then left the room closing the door.

Hinata waited until she heard his footsteps retreat down the stairs then looked at Naruto again. She lightly traced the lump under his right eye and almost started crying.

She looked at the tube in her hand and thought hard about what Neji told her and what she really wanted and realized she wanted to be able to stay with Naruto and this was probably the only way.

Without running away from Konoha, She thought to herself.

She reached over and undid his pants and slid them off his hips and deposited them on the floor. She looked at his crotch and reached into the opening of his boxers and pulled his member out into the night air.

Fumbling slightly she opened the tube of cream and applied a generous helping to his penis and watched as he stiffened up until he was completely erect. She looked at his face and noticed his eyebrows moved as she rubbed the crème in.

After a few minutes she undid her pajama bottoms and slid them off. As she watched him she truly wished he was awake so that they could enjoy this moment together…but she was feeling more and more ashamed as she pulled her panties down and placed them on top of her pajamas, because she knew she would have to do this alone.

It almost felt like she was...raping him. She shook her head hard to clear the thought from her. They were married right? That made it ok didn't it? We're married...it isn't rape...we're married. She repeated to herself over and over again.

Slowly she climbed up on the bed and straddled Naruto's hips and she could feel him pressed against her bottom. Moving upward then repositioning herself, she nestled the mushroom shaped head against her virginal opening. Being this close to him, and touching him would normally have her ready to boil over, but the situation seemed so wrong to her that she could not get her body to react as it normally would. She didn't even get slightly wet.
She wanted to so badly, but her body rebelled as her mind did.

She thought hard for a few more seconds then decided she would not get pleasure from it…she would just do the deed so the doctor would know she was now taken by Naruto, and she would wait for the day when they could do it properly…together.

His member was rather large, and she could feel that it would not be easy…but she had already come too far and there was no point in stopping now.

Bearing down until she felt it push past her lips; she gritted her teeth then pushed herself down in one swift motion!

White hot fire shot through her as his shaft broke through her hymen and he was buried a quarter of the way inside of her!

She opened her mouth and let out an involuntary squeak of pain as she stayed in that position for a few minutes trying to breathe deeply, eyes clenched tightly shut!

Slowly…she let herself sink down until he was more then halfway inside of her, and she could feel fluid running down her thigh. "Ugh…no one said it would hurt this much!"

Not understanding about lubrication, or preparation, Hinata mounted him completely dry and now she felt as if she had a canoe stuffed inside of her hoo-ha.

She slid up and a trill of pleasure ran through her and made the pain go partially away. She was going to dismount, but she ended up sliding back down on him with a groan of pleasure as the pain reduced even more and was replaced with a completely new and exciting feeling.

She rose up again and it felt really good, but when she slid back down it was awesome! I..I can feel every inch of him inside of me…Oh Kami can it feel any better?

She understood now why people liked and talked about sex so much. It was the most intense and pleasurable sensations she had ever felt…how much better would it be when Naruto would be awake to enjoy it and do it to her as well. And that made her stop.

She thought about continuing…but she had said she wouldn't without Naruto, so she reluctantly pulled herself off of him, gasping as he slid out almost immediately feeling like she was missing something.

She glanced down and saw his member was slick with blood and her juices and thought about cleaning him, but suddenly she heard Neji's voice rather loud and getting closer!

As quick as she could she covered Naruto with a sheet then pulled her panties and pajamas back on.

Just as she closed her bathrobe up, Sakura and Tenten came in…once again without knocking so Hinata was glad that she stopped when she did at least!

"What happened to him?" Sakura was already making hand signs and checking his vitals.

"Jesus somebody kicked the crap out of him!" She exclaimed as she ran her hands over his body.

Hinata's eyes watered a bit but she didn't say anything. Tenten spoke up from the other side of the bed. "Do not completely heal him…there is a doctor coming from the Hyuga compound in a little while that will need to see his injuries so that he can document them."

Sakura looked up from what she was doing and frowned. "For what reasons? What exactly is going on here?"

Neji came in and chuckled. "For the purposes of marriage." At Sakura's dumbfounded look he just chuckled. "It is a long story, we will share it with you soon enough."

Sakura nodded as she grabbed the sheet. Hinata speaking for the first time since they got there shouted out a warning…too late as always.

Sakura came face to face, for the second time that week, with Naruto's "wee man"…except he wasn't so "wee" right now.

Hinata blushed as she turned partially away. Sakura blinked as she rolled him over on his side and checked his spine. "No spinal injury...then why does he have an erection...and where did all of this blood come from?"

Hinata blushed crimson and Neji came over and turned her away from Sakura. "There, there Hinata-chan...Naruto will be fine...Sakura will take care of his injuries."

Sakura looked over and saw Neji holding Hinata and assumed she was crying for him. "I'll do the best I can!" Sakura said with conviction.

Hinata whispered a "thanks" to Neji and he nodded as he released her.

It is funny what the human mind thinks of in awkward situations as she hoped she didn't ruin her new panties with the blood…but she would have to wait and see after all was said and done. If they were ruined she would be disappointed…Naruto hadn't seen them clearly yet, only the angel decal on the front, and she knew how much he liked to see her in her underwear. He would love these she knew because on the back was printed; "Naruto's angel"…and she really wanted him to see that.

She blushed lightly as Sakura slowly covered his crotch with the sheet again, also blushing. "He is doing pretty well. I do not see any serious internal damage to his organs, although he did bruise his right kidney somehow, and he has a mild concussion.

He will have to rest for a few days, and it's gonna hurt like a bitch every time he takes a breath…but otherwise he should be fine. It is a little strange though…it appears his healing is…slowed for some reason. I don't understand it…I can't find anything physically wrong with him that would account for it." Sakura shrugged as she looked at Hinata who didn't look surprised. Fana must be doing it so that the doctor will be able to document everything. She thought as Sakura turned to Neji again.

You did a good job setting his bones again Neji, and this dislocated shoulder. I'm going to set these two fingers, perform a lesser pain relieving jutsu, then I'm going to go wait in the spare bedroom until morning or until he wakes up, whichever comes first."

Neji had the good grace not to say anything about Naruto's "condition", but he nodded before he and Tenten went downstairs.

Hinata waited until the door closed then ground her teeth together as she walked wide legged over to the bed. Carefully, she sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his cheek and rested her head on his chest. I hope it doesn't hurt like that every time. She thought as she felt a burning sensation and a slight drip in her vagina. She was sure the first time would be painful, and maybe even the next time because of Naruto's large member, but she was sure that if it kept hurting like that, she would have to buy a good sturdy lock and a door…so she could lock him out of their bedroom!

Well, she thought with a sigh, at least nothing could pull them apart now...or could it?

O

The medical nin hurried through the streets to the address that was left in her mailbox. She thought hard to the contents and what they would mean if it was true.

This was a practice that had not be utilized in many years, and she was sure it would cause an uproar in all of the Hyuga households, especially if it was the Lady Hinata that had been taken.
The man who did this must surely be courageous, have friends in high places, or utterly stupid!

The Lord Hyuga would be furious, and while she was not afraid of signing her name off on the medical potion if it were valid, she felt sorry for anyone, maybe even his own daughter, once he found out about it!

In a sense though, she was excited! Who would have thought she, as disgraced as she was, would be able to present such news to her superiors.

With a light giggle, she hurried her pace. Oh I can't wait to see the branch heads face when I finish my report! She thought as she jogged closer to Naruto's house.
