So my plan is to upload every Thursday lol, but this Thursday I will be busy with work so I would have made my deadline so I am uploading this one a day early. This chapter is really about the four of them enjoying their time together, kind of. Also thank you all for the adding this story to be your favorite and following the story! I appreciate the reviews and love! Now on to the story!


He marveled at how she could function with little sleep, when Shikamaru woke up the next morning Ino was already up and drinking coffee in her former bedroom. Shikamaru told her that he had gotten her a new bigger bed and remodeled her bedroom because she was older and needed the space if she chose to live here, Ino came to the conclusion he did it so they could have fun in a queen size bed. Shikamaru wouldn't go back and forward with her about the matter because she would just point out that it was odd for him to choose a queen size bed and yellowish silk sheets.

Still comfortable under the sheets he looked up at Ino, noticing that she was rather enjoying the coffee and silence. So, she was a coffee drinker. How times have changed, she was a morning, coffee drinker that enjoyed silence. "Hmm this would be nice huh?" He didn't answer her and waited for her to elaborate, she was oddly mellow and appeared to be disheartened.

"Waking up to each other, having coffee, breakfast, morning sex. Every morning. In a perfect world right Shika." He frowned at this, "There is nothing stopping us from living that life now. You don't have to keep leaving." Ino smiled down into her cup, "Ohh I see how you Nara's tie women down. I do not believe I would want the life of a house wife." He smiled and chuckled at her words, "Me and my old man are alike, but not that much alike. My mother is stronger than you think, she is basically head of the household."

"Oh, I wouldn't put it past her, I am not shamming her or what she does so don't think like that. It is just not what I want."

"To be married? Or to be married and have children? Or is it because you would be held down."

Ino didn't want to think of the options, "I am not marriage material Shikamaru. Do you think you are the only man to have fallen for my looks? Clearly Orochimaru has seen what every other man has seen. His goal was to send me out and seduce as many men into his clutches as possible. These…men as they want to be called could care less about how young I was. How nervous I was as I shook when I was touched. I am used goods made for a good time. Ha! Wasn't even a virgin when me and you had sex. Why in the world would you want to have a family with used goods? Think about what reputation you would have in this village and around other villages. No one would take you serious." Ino shook her head at him in a 'tsk tsk' manner and before he could answer her there was a knock on her front door. He looked to the direction of the door annoyed, really, who in the hell was that? He sensed the familiar chakra of Asuma and Choji and found himself almost growling. Any other time he would be welcoming them for he really enjoyed their company, now was not one of those moments.

When Ino made a move to get out the bed Shikamaru found himself boldly grabbing her and pulling her back towards him. It wasn't like him to be so dominating, but Ino was bringing a lot of that out of him lately. He was now on top of her, his hands on both sides of her head looking down at the blond below him in a heated manner. She looked at him a little thrown off by his actions but made no objections. Oh, this was new.

"They'll leave eventually." He lowered himself and kissed her collarbone, "Stop that nonsense spew of yours. For someone with a sick overflowing amount of confidence you don't seem to have any when it pertains to living a family life." His hands traced her scarred thighs, learning that those were her sensitive spots. He watched as arousal started to form in her eyes. He massaged the inside of her thighs and was closing in on her, as she likes to call it, honeypot. "You don't have to say it out loud, because I know that hard headed-demented ego of yours would never allow it, but you're mine Ino. You should've realized it at this point. I want you and I'll have you until I draw my last breath." He gazed into her and she broke out into a smile, "Talk about forcing someone into commitment." He laughed at this, he then lowered a little bit of his weight on her and matched their foreheads together.

"SHIKAMARU I KNOW YOUR LAZY ASS IS IN THERE, YOU TWO BETTER OPEN UP!" Shikamaru lowered his head on her shoulder and groaned. Why was this man Asuma like this?

Getting himself together first he told Ino to wait for him, he wanted to see if he could get the two to disappear so he could spend the day with Ino before she left out again. Planning everything out like the genius that he was, he had clothes already stashed at the Yamanaka house. He had on dark brown pajama pants and a black relaxed shirt. Shikamaru made his way to the front door and opened it, revealing an annoyed Choji and Asuma. "Avoiding us Shikamaru?"

"Something like that Choji."

"Jeez! We want to hang out with Ino too! You're not the only person in her life." With that said person came down the stairs, she threw on some light blue shorts and an orange shirt. Choji made sure not to place his attention on her scarred body. "Oh Shikamaru, don't be like that. Choji, how does barbeque sound?" At this Choji perked up, the look on his face said it all, "Alright, I will shower and will meet you there in an hour. Good?" Choji immediately turned around to leave to the barbeque spot, Asuma smirked down at her, "You're good." He didn't protest when Ino slowly shut the door in his face, "That's how you do it Nara. That is how you get rid of people so you can go and finish a morning session Shikamaru." He grinned as she walked back up the stairs, she turned around and looked at him expectantly, "Come on, don't keep me waiting!"


Naruto was surprised that Hinata was able to move around in his kitchen so easily, she made breakfast for the two and they sat in his apartment, being lazy in his bed enjoying it. He was starting to think she planned on spending the night and making them breakfast in the morning. Her volunteering to make tea was her way to maneuver around his small kitchen and figure out where things were and what he had in stock. Either way, he realized she was an amazing cook and he wanted more days like this.

He never woke up to breakfast before, especially to a beautiful woman wearing his clothing serving it to him. His body had a good burning feel to it from the sexual battle they had that he was sure would heal up, Hinata knew he was a jinchuuriki and used his ability to heal a little faster as an opportunity to assault his body. He was a little sore, but he liked it. This was not how he envisioned how he would first lose his virginity, but he rather liked it. The pain-pleasure feeling and how he had someone as strong and deadly as Hinata almost begging under him. How he got her to yelp in pain and pleasure. How many could say they caused pain to this grown dominate female Hyuga and lived to tell the story? This excited him, to have her reach bliss and he got to watch a different side of her he was sure no man has seen, it was hot to him. It got him off and it made him think about doing it again. It further excited him that he got to see her without her mask.

"Your excitement is oozing off you Naruto." He lightly blushed to this and grinned at her, he placed his hands on her cheek and made his way down to her neck, admiring her pale long neck and blue veins that reminded him of a flowing river. He watched as she tilted her neck, allowing him a better view and how her breathing quickened. She wanted him too.

"Can you blame me? Would you be in for another session this morning?" Hinata finished off her breakfast ready to accept the offer, but soon frowned, "Tempting, but I am guessing you have training with your team. Uchiha-san and Haruno-san are nearing your home. About 10 minutes away. Are you late Naruto?" She took the finished breakfast from Naruto and watched as he threw himself on his bed in a temper tantrum. He was tempted to cancel but knew he couldn't do that to his teammates. "I'm sorry Nata." He watched as her eye twitched at the name, she liked it. He jumped up and ran in the bathroom and freshened up quite fast and got dressed. She stayed in his bed and watched as he busied himself getting dressed. She was drinking tea watching Naruto, he really must not want to hear anything from Sakura, he was moving fast. "Are you staying?" He looked at Hinata a little confused, he thought she would be getting dressed as well. "I will stay here. I am rather tired I would like a day of rest before I travel tomorrow morning."

Naruto froze at this; this was new to him. He loved the idea of coming home and Hinata was there. He absolutely relished at the idea, "Okay! Um, I'll bring dinner home then! Tell me what you want." Hinata shrugged her shoulders, "It does not matter to me Naruto." She looked at the door and Naruto caught the hint; he opened his front door before Sakura had a chance to bang on it. Before he shut the front door he winked at Hinata and shut the door, locking it.

Sakura looked at him strangely, "You never lock your door." Naruto started walking away from his apartment, "I do sometimes. I don't exactly stay on the safest side of town ya know." She sent him a skeptical look, she watched as Sasuke caught up to Naruto and the two headed off. She gave the apartment one quick exam before slowly walking off, she paused for a moment when a familiar dark chakra flared up from inside Naruto's apartment, she decided not to address this just yet.

They finished training and Naruto laid out on the training grounds for a bit. He was catching his breath and enjoying the slight breeze of air that went by. He was in bliss today; he had an amazing night and was going to continue to enjoy Hinata's time for the rest of the day. He doubted she would admit to an actual label of what they were, but he had a feeling he broke through some of her mental barriers. He decided he wasted enough time recuperating and stood up to assist in straightening up the training area. As he sat up he noticed two people he would rather not see smirking, Sasuke and Kakashi. Beside them was Sakura arching her brow at him with her arms crossed.

"Naruto…was Hinata in your apartment?" Sakura had her arms crossed and her eyes was trying to burn a whole through him, he could tell she wasn't going to let up on this. Before he could answer she shot him with another question, "And what the hell is with you keeping your jacket on in this intense heat!? It's hot as hell outside and you still have your jacket zipped all the way up."

"You took extra caution in making sure Sasuke didn't slice any of the fabric of your clothing and made the random rule of no fire." Kakashi chimed in, he was sure he was taunting him, unlike Sakura who was generally concerned.

He rolled his eyes at the two, "Oi FINE… Yes Sakura, Hinata is at my apartment. No point in lying about that. And I'm not discussing this with you Kakashi-sensei!" He sent the man a look telling him to drop the subject. Sakura face heated up and her eyes widened, "What the hell Naruto?!"

"What Sakura?! Do I tell you who to date? Do I talk about your relationships? No. Because it's not meant for the world to know about it."

"I do not date crazed, blood-lusting murderers Baka! I'm just looking out for you. The Hokage even stated that Hinata is way more off the wagon than Ino, and that is saying a lot. Think about it, you want to be Hokage, who is going to want to elect you in when you're having relations with an unstable ninja. She'll hurt you and ruin you Naruto."

At this Naruto found himself all out of patience for his pink haired friend, he sent her a heated look and had to refrain from walking over to her and regretting something. He respected her too much to lash out to her, she was his friend and he cherished that. However, he wasn't going to sit around and listen to her talk about this any longer.

"You…I would rather not talk to you anymore for today Sakura. You don't know Hinata so in the future don't talk about her to me…ever. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart." With that Naruto left team seven to grab some dinner and head back to Hinata.

Sakura watched the blond walk away from her and replaced the guilty feeling she was having with annoyance, "Naruto! Don't just walk away, be a man and finish the conversation!" She started to walk after him but Kakashi grabbed her shoulder, "I would listen to Naruto about staying away from him for a day Sakura. Come, let us have a chat." Based on the grip he had on her shoulder Sakura was sure it wasn't going to be a good talk.

Naruto avoided his signature ramen restaurant just in case Sakura tried to find him, plus he really wanted some barbeque. He placed an order to-go big enough for him and Hinata and waited for the food to be cooked and packaged. He felt Sasuke's chakra signature and turned around to look at his comrade with a face that told him to tread lightly.

"You shouldn't let Sakura get to you Dobe. She doesn't mean any harm, she's just very blunt when she talks to you." Naruto dug his hands deep in his pockets and frowned at Sasuke, "Then she should talk to you and other people that way too. It gets a bit too much when she focuses all that energy on me." He watched as Sasuke made an order as well and stood next to Naruto waiting. "I see you and Hinata have advanced your relationship." Sasuke watched as Naruto rolled his eyes and could tell he didn't want to discuss his intimate life, "Dobe, I'm not touching that subject. I'm saying…you get more upset when people talk negative about her. You were five seconds from ripping Sakura a new one. Which, honestly I thought I would never see."

Naruto listened to this and thought to himself, maybe he was changing, but he rather liked it. "It's not a big dead." Sasuke agreed with him, "I never said it was…I'm happy for you. It's about time you met someone that could make you drop that goofy mask of yours." Naruto's food came out first, he got his food and turned towards Sasuke, "Yeah, well umm thanks teme, for the umm support." Sasuke said nothing else and continued to wait for his food.

"Oi! Hinata I'm back!" Naruto took a chance and peaked inside his apartment before walking fully inside. There was always that self-doubt he had in his head that Hinata wouldn't be there when he returned home, and he'd be alone again. Upon seeing Hinata, sleeping in his bed curled in an adorable ball under his sheets, placed a large dopey smile on his face. He saw her half open one eye and made no attempt to get out of the bed even though she saw and smelled food. She did take her arms out the sheets and motion for him to join her in being lazy. He placed the food on the kitchen counter and made his way to her. He unzipped his jacket and took it off, revealing under his short sleeve black shirt an almost fully healed arms and neck. He then slowly crawled onto the bed until he was hovering over her, looking into pools of lavender. He could tell she was mellow and relaxed, her eyes were so soft and had that gentle color in them. When she was in her calculating cold-hearted mode he felt her eyes were almost a stone cold grey.

"Have you been in bed all day Nata?" He was surprised how low and husky his voice was when talking to her. Hinata turned her whole body towards him and watched as the blonde's neck started to flush. "About 90 percent of the day. I told you I was rather tired. And this bed is relaxing for some reason." Naruto gave her a skeptical look, "For some reason huh? Maybe because it's my bed and you're in my place." He grinned down at her, he was starting to like when she played hard to get. In the beginning it was a major ego killer, but now he found that he liked how she played with him. He balanced himself on one hand and reached for her right upper thigh, with his large hand he grabbed her thigh and gave it a deep massage, making sure his thumb teased close to her flower.

"Come on, I want you to eat. I don't want you to be hungry when you leave tomorrow morning. Tired yes, hungry, no." Hinata smiled at this but did not say anything back. The two ate in silence on the kitchen counter for a while before Hinata decided to talk, "I do not believe Haruno likes me too much." She watched as Naruto stilled himself obviously thinking of a way to answer her, "I don't know how to really answer that, we had a little disagreement earlier about you. She someone figured out that you were in the apartment."

Hinata nodded her head at this, "Yes, I flared my chakra a little to get her attention." Naruto eyes widened at this and he was about to ask her why she would do such a thing but she asked him a question first.

"Does she not like me because she likes you as more than a friend?" Naruto was caught off guard with the question, what in the hell type of assumption was that? Sakura was clearly still a fan girl of Sasuke and their relationship was specifically like siblings. He stared at Hinata for a while before a dark smile crossed his face, "Don't tell me you're jealous." He watched as Hinata stopped any attempts of eating her food and looked up at him from her food in a chilling way, eating utensils still in her hands, shaking from her gripping them so hard. Her eyes were dancing and unfocused and he felt like if hell had ever frozen over than it would look as cold as her eyes.

He didn't know that he found things like this attractive.

"Do I need to be jealous? Is Sakura someone you wish to pursue? I am sure she would give you the title you want in a relationship."

"Absolutely not. I wouldn't have spent so long fixated on you if that was the case." He gave her a look that told her to never question his feeling for her again, it was a heated look. It was very overpowering. He walked over to her from his spot at the counter and took her hand, she let him pull her towards his bed, "The fact you were jealous means I haven't proven to you that you're everything to me. Let me prove it to you Nata, I like hearing you scream anyways."


Hinata was a little jelly! She wanted to make it known that Naruto is hers! Even though she doesn't want the title and to be tied down lol. Well, until next time!
