Chapter 15

Rated M for a reason

oOoOo

Konoha...

The sounds of dogs barking could be heard from outside as Tsume Inuzuka had gotten up and had taken a quick morning shower. She had now dressed and was busily fixing herself a hot cup of coffee, glancing outside seeing her daughter Hana attending to the dogs.

Tsume was passionate about her dogs. She had quite a few of them, running a successful kennel business that her daughter helped her out whilst still living with her. Tsume lost her husband quite a few years ago due to illness and she never got around to getting remarried or seeking out a new relationship.

A knock on her front door brought her from her thoughts as she walked towards her entrance, wondering who it could be.

Opening the door, she was surprised to see two people. One was dressed in a Konoha police officer uniform while the other was in a different uniform altogether, but she noticed that it was Fugaku's eldest son, Itachi Uchiha. That raised her eyebrows considerably.

"Can I help you?" Tsume asked, curious.

'I know all my licenses are up to date… what the hell have I forgotten now?' Tsume wondered inwardly

"Mrs. Tsume Inuzuka?" Itachi asked.

"Yes that's me...Is there a problem?" Tsume answered

"Do you mind if we come inside? We would like to discuss with you a few things that has happened regarding your son Kiba."

"Kiba!?...What has that idiot done now?" Tsume growled, stepping aside and letting them in, not wanting the neighbours to hear her business.

Itachi and the officer headed inside to discuss with the Inuzuka patriarch what her son has done and knew she wouldn't be happy because of it.

oOoOo

Hinata awoke in the strong arms of Naruto. She glanced up at him, seeing his handsomely sculpted face sleeping peacefully beside her. Giving into her wants, she gently brushed one of the three distinguishing lines upon his cheek with her fingertips. Smiling softly as she gazed at him lovingly, knowing she had to tell him that she now remembered him and wondered if he knew that they had met as children those years ago.

Hinata had to admit, she had been exhausted last night. When they had gotten back, she quickly headed into the shower to cleanse herself from the grains of sand that stuck to her skin. Also, their passionate juices that lingered between her legs was sticky. After she had finished and dried herself, she quickly found a suitable pajama top and shorts to wear as Naruto had just entered inside the bedroom with two glasses of what appeared to be fruit juice.

Hinata and Naruto drank it and got ready for bed, snuggling up in each other's arms. Naruto felt too tired but had managed to change into another pair of sweatpants as he pulled her into him. Within minutes, Naruto was fast asleep, still holding her tightly against him. Listening to his heartbeat was like a subtle lullaby that made her own eyes grow heavy and she fell into a dream less sleep.

Hinata had heard noises coming from within the villa and wondered what it could be. Naruto had said to her that his friends were at the villa and that it was no longer just them and also that Ishidate had insisted that the maids came in on a daily basis just to clean up the villa and organise breakfast and lunch for them while they stayed.

Although Hinata enjoyed to cook she understood where Ishidate was coming from as she was supposed to be on holiday, just tending to her master's needs. Hinata briefly wondered what would happen now? Would he still want her as his maid? Or would he cast her aside? The other thing that was slowly worrying her was the pink haired girl that was in the room when she awoke.

Naruto hadn't commented further since she had awoken and it was slowly troubling her to who this woman was. Hinata tried to push the inner thoughts away as not important, but sadly, it was continuously nagging full front in her mind. She loved Naruto immensely and she didn't want to lose him to anyone and if she had to fight to keep him, she will. But still, she knew if Naruto chose otherwise she would be heartbroken and tried to remain positive on the situation.

Hinata tried to remove herself from her lovers arms but found it to no avail.

"Where do you think you're going hime?" A deep voice whispered.

Hinata couldn't help but to feel herself tremble in his arms as her heartbeat began to skip a beat.

"N-Naruto-kun"

"Ya know hime...I love it when you call my name like that" Naruto answered with a smile.

Hinata blinked as her cheeks grew deeper in colour. Why was it that he could cause her to be a complete mess no matter what he did?

"Y-You do?"

"Yeah I do...what time is it?" Naruto asked whilst he rubbed his eyes from sleep.

Hinata glanced at the little clock on the bedside table seeing it was 9:20am. She couldn't believe she had slept that late.

"I-Its 9:20"

"Oh...I had better get up. I expect the maids are already here by the sounds of it." Naruto mumbled

Begrudgingly he let go of his hold on Hinata as he sat up still feeling sleepy, but nothing that a hot cup of coffee couldn't fix. He wondered if Sasuke and Sakura were awake already as he stood up and stretched deciding a quick wash would do him a world of good.

oOoOo

Hinata watched him go into the bathroom, hearing the shower going as she got up and stretched herself. Looking at the mirror, her hair was a mess of disheveled indigo curls and reached for the brush, styling her hair as she decided what she would wear today.

Hinata pulled her hair up into a high pony tail as she decided to wear another bikini, seeing as it would be another hot day ahead. She settled for a white two piece that had a pink and black flower pattern on one side. Happy with her choice, she changed from her night wear into her chosen bikini.

Hinata picked another Sarong, this one a deep pink which she tied around her waist feeling herself ready for the day ahead as she sprayed some fragrance, waiting for Naruto to finish so she could brush her teeth.

Naruto appeared a few moments later wearing a towel around his waist, showing his tanned and toned body. Drips of water fell from his wet hair down upon his body. Hinata felt her mouth go dry as she watched each water drop glide down his skin. He looked just like a model and Hinata couldn't help but appreciate such a view.

Naruto couldn't help but smirk seeing her reaction as he found himself looking at her finding her looking gorgeous as ever, especially wearing another bikini that left nothing to be desired.

"I-I am j-just going to brush m-my teeth" Hinata stuttered out, feeling overly flushed.

Naruto watched her escape into the bathroom as he began to chuckle, knowing she was eyeing him as soon as he stepped out. Naruto dried himself and then searched on what he would wear, he settled for black shorts that came to his knees, and an orange vest top with matching orange flip flops.

A few moments later, he was dressed, drying any excess water from his hair with the towel, feeling awake and refreshed but was now hungry due to his growling stomach. He needed to have his ramen. He missed it terribly but as he was on vacation he had to try different foods.

Putting in some cologne and body spray, he was ready to venture out but waited patiently for Hinata to reappear so that she wouldn't be so nervous. He was excited for her to meet his friends, especially Sasuke, but he knew that she wouldn't remember him as she didn't remember him either so to her it would be like meeting two new people.

Hinata reemerged finding him dressed and ready to leave. Naruto held out his hand for her to take, which she eagerly took with her own.

"Don't be too nervous hime...My two friends are here so don't be nervous."

"W-Who are they Naruto-kun?"

"Well remember the woman with pink hair?"

Hinata nodded feeling her heart rise to her throat.

"Well that is Sakura. She is one of my friends and she works at Konoha General hospital. She went to the same school as me and teme oh and she is teme's girlfriend...Well fiancé actually"

Hinata felt immense relief fill within her that this Sakura person was with someone else and wondered, who was this teme?

"T-Teme?" Hinata questioned, confused

"Oh...um. Teme is what I call my best friend Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha"

'Sasuke-kun is here too!?' Hinata thought, inwardly surprised.

Hinata remembered him from her memories. He was the one that had dark hair with a bluish tint and dark eyes. He always liked to wear dark blue colours although she thought any colour would probably suit him.

oOoOo

Sakura was currently stood brushing her pink locks after applying some mascara and lip gloss to her lips. She had decided to wear her new two piece bathing suit she had bought a few months back when she went shopping with the girls back home.

Ino and Sakura had known each other since the age of five and they was really close. Sakura had a low self esteem due to other children teasing her about her forehead being too large. One day she was being bullied by a group of children and her forehead was the main attraction along with her unusual hair colouring that no one thought was natural.

Sakura had inherited the colouring from her father, although it was a rare colour it was a Haruno family trait. Ino had taken it upon herself to come to her rescue and from then they were inseparable up until they confided they had a crush on the same boy. Sasuke Uchiha was popular and Sakura had a huge crush on him she had only admitted it to her best friend Ino. But when Ino had admitted she felt the same, they turned from friends to rivals that lasted up until high school.

Ino had soon grown out of her feelings for Sasuke, even though Sasuke never really spent time with her but mainly Naruto, Shikamaru and Sakura. Ino was more friendly with Shikamaru but soon grew close to Sai. After a while, the girls reconciled and grew closer than before vowing that they would never let a boy/man get between them again.

They made sure they took time out for a girl's day out from going to the movies, to going shopping nothing could be better than doing some retail therapy together with your friends talking about your love life and gossip they may have heard. Ino was the queen of gossip around Konoha, anything you wanted to know she would have the answer. Ino and herself would be joined by Temari, who was engaged to Shikamaru and Karui who was in love with Choji. The girls enjoyed each other's company and grew close with one another as much as their other halves were.

Sakura had chosen a red two piece bathing suit that complimented her figure and her complexion. Pinks and reds was her favourite as she found a pair of small gold loop earrings that was perfect for her to wear. Sasuke had stepped out of the bathroom wearing a pair of white shorts and a Navy shirt that was open, revealing his naked toned torso making her bite her bottom lip.

'Oh my, Sasuke-kun looks delicious… I could just eat him, chaa' Her inner self exclaimed.

Dark eyes roamed her body as he took her all in. He noticed her reaction when he had stepped out from the bathroom and smirked inwardly, knowing Sakura all too well.

"Do you like what you see… Sa~Ku~Ra?" Sasuke teased softly

Sakura blushed a deeper pink than her own hair, feeling herself combust on the spot. She knew Sasuke was gorgeous and she loved him with every fibre of her being. She had noticed him when she had first attended school, he stood out to her like a beacon. His dark hair that had a blue tint to his gorgeous dark eyes on ivory pale skin. To her, no other boy existed, even though she was popular especially to one of the boys in their circle of friends named Rock Lee.

Rock Lee was sweet and had held her highly on a pedestal, but to Sakura, she only liked him as a friend. Even Naruto at the start seemed to have a crush on her but it was very brief. Sakura couldn't look at any other boy in their year or any other year like she did with Sasuke. She had tried so many times to dissolve her feelings for him but her heart wouldn't let her.

At first, Sasuke was aware of her feelings from the beginning and wouldn't speak to her. She along with Ino would fight over him in class just to sit by him and he would glare at both of them just to leave him alone. Sakura got upset when he had told her she was annoying and decided to step back and try to be a friend to him. There was a reason why she had done this and decided that what he had said to her that day with a cold voice was true to a point.

Flashback...

The classroom began to fill for morning register as students were beginning to turn up for the day of schooling. Sasuke was sat down on his desk, his cheek resting in his open hand that was held up by his elbow upon the table. Naruto had also arrived with Shikamaru, the latter had already took his seat in front resting his head on his folded arms deciding to take a short nap like he always did.

Naruto rolled his eyes as he took a seat beside Sasuke. Suddenly the sounds of running could be heard with shouts from two females that made Sasuke cringe and groan outwardly, knowing who the sounds belonged too immediately.

"Not again...I wish they would take the hint and leave me alone"

"I thought you loved the attention teme?" Naruto smirked

Sasuke glared at his blonde best friend telling him to sit down beside him which the blonde did feeling slightly sorry for Sasuke. The door opened widely, revealing two young girls. One had long blonde hair in a high ponytail, with light blue eyes and the other had long pink hair past her shoulders with jade green eyes.

"Ino-pig! I will sit by Sasuke-kun" Sakura shouted in annoyance

"No way forehead, I am sitting next to Sasuke-kun today!" Ino replied

The whole class watched the girls fight amongst themselves, some in annoyance, others in amusement as the scene unfolded. The other girls stood back even though they too had a crush on the ever stoic Uchiha Sasuke but Sakura and Ino were formidable in their pursuit of him so stayed away.

"Naruto baka move, you are in my seat!" Sakura shouted at Naruto with venom

Naruto flinched at the harsh tone of the pinkette. Usually they got on alright, but when it came to Sasuke, she became possessed. Naruto sighed and was about to get up when Sasuke held his arm, prompting the blonde to glance at his raven haired friend. Naruto knew immediately Sasuke was angry he could practically see fire burning in his dark eyes and it made him swallow nervously, knowing his friend was going to blow any second.

"Listen...I am getting very irritated by your constant fights over me" Sasuke hissed.

The whole class grew deathly silent in an instant as the two girls froze and looked at Sasuke with wide eyes.

"Let me tell you that I have no inclination what so ever to go out with either of you or any girl for that matter in this school or out of it. I don't know what your problem is, but you are very annoying! Naruto will be sitting next to me as he is my best friend so I would strongly advise both of you to sit somewhere else and stop fantasizing over me because I am not interested in any of you!"

Sakura felt her heart shatter into little pieces as her eyes began to water. Ino felt embarrassed and immediately sat in between Shikamaru and Choji.

"B-But..."

"Don't bother Sakura...I don't know why you are so obsessed over me? Tell me one thing... Do you really know me? Because I seriously doubt it. You are just seeing me on how you want to see me so just do me a favour and just leave me alone" Sasuke stated as he looked away from the pinkette.

Sakura took his words to heart and ran out of the class just as the teacher decided to make his appearance, wondering what had gone on as the class was never this silent.

Flashback ends...

Sakura decided to step back and not be so in your face all the time. In reality, it had made her inwardly cringe at her behaviour back then. Sakura remained friends and grew more friendly from then on with each of the boys. Even though her heart was always for Sasuke, she really took the time to know him by being his friend.

Through school they remained friendly and when they got into the last year she still yearned for him, but from a distance. Sasuke never showed interest in any of the girls as Ino and herself had now become friends again. Ino had confided that after her crush on Sasuke diminished, she did have a crush on the lazy but brilliant Shikamaru, but he didn't return her feelings when he had found out. He saw her as a sibling due to how close their families were like Choji's.

Sakura knew that the blonde Yamanaka had started to develop feelings for Sai and hoped that her friend would have her feelings returned by him even if he had problems understand on people's emotions. Sakura however knew her feelings would never change although some days she would despair and try to look elsewhere for someone that would like her back. But her heart would not follow her mind and Sakura knew she couldn't do it.

Sasuke had begun to talk to her more often and hang out with her, although they were never alone as the others would hang out with them as well. Then on the last day of high school, Sasuke wanted a word with her after he had heard that she had been asked to meet Rock Lee.

Rock Lee had confessed to her and had asked her out privately. Sakura knew this was going to happen and didn't want to let the guy down but knew it would hurt him more if she agreed, knowing her feelings already, and told him softly that she loved someone else. Although Lee was upset, he understood and thanked her for agreeing to meet him.

Sakura stood under the cherry blossoms as the pink petals fell around her the breeze blowing her shoulder length pink locks as she waited for Sasuke to arrive. She felt nervous at what he wanted to ask her. As soon as he arrived with his hands in his back pockets she suddenly blushed and looked down at the ground part of her wanted to run away and part of her couldn't move even if she wanted to.

When Sasuke confessed, she was shocked, never expecting those words to come out. Minutes had passed by as Sakura was still in a state of shock and happiness, her tears flowing as she could only nod her head agreeing wholeheartedly that she loved him, she truly loved him.

They have been together a few years now and were engaged and would soon be married, planning for a spring wedding. She was working at Konoha General Hospital, hoping to fulfill her dream of being one of the best medics around. Sasuke was also a great officer in the police force following in his families footsteps.

Sasuke had his arms wrapped around her waist holding her close to him as he breathed in her scent of cherries that calmed him greatly.

"You look beautiful as always...Are you ready to get some breakfast? I expect the dobe will be up soon with Hinata."

"Yes, I'm ready Sasuke-kun" Sakura whispered, holding him just as tightly, breathing in his cologne loving how his body smelled.

Sasuke released his hold, taking her hand as he guided her out of their room hearing the noises of the kitchen in the distance and the heavenly aromas of breakfast ready to be served.

oOoOo

Naruto had guided Hinata into the large open planned room, seeing two maids inside the kitchen busily preparing food for their breakfast. The delicious aromas mixed with the smell of coffee made his stomach growl as another maid appeared and bowed her head in greeting.

"Good morning, we were told to arrive this morning to clean and cook for you"

"Good morning. Yes I was expecting you, my name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze and this is Hinata Hyuga. I also have my two friends also staying here, Sasuke Uchiha and his fiancé Sakura Haruno. They should arrive shortly" Naruto responded happily.

"My name is Aya, and the other two maids in the kitchen are Hikari, and Kisa. We will be the maids that will come during your stay here at the villa" Aya stated.

"That's great"

"If you would like to go out to the table outside, your food will be brought out to you shortly"

Naruto nodded happily as Hinata smiled at the young maid. She had brown colored hair, styled in two short bunches. They both made their way to the prepared table that held cups and plates, a hot pot of coffee with milk and sugar at the ready as well as orange juice. There was also a large bowl of various ripened fruits as well as freshly baked bread.

Hinata felt ravenous as well as Naruto, who poured himself and Hinata some coffee. Hinata helped herself to some bread that was still slightly warm. The sound of footsteps alerted them to two new presences who stood looking at both of them. Hinata felt apprehensive as she looked at the two, immediately noticing the pink haired woman from last night.

"Morning guys, sleep well?" Naruto asked cheerfully

Sasuke grunted as Sakura nodded taking a seat opposite both of them. Naruto smiled as he glanced at Hinata, noticing she looked nervous.

"Well guys, this here is Hinata-chan...Hinata Hyuga. Hinata-chan, this here are my friends Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha"

Hinata looked up and met the jade green eyes of Sakura, who although was curious about the indigo haired girl, she smiled at her warmly. Sasuke kept his gaze upon the blunette, not giving any indication whatsoever in his features.

"I-It's nice to meet you Sakura san, Sasuke san" Hinata greeted

"Hello, it's nice to meet you too Hinata, but please, you don't need to be so formal with me or with Sasuke-kun here, right Sasuke?"

"Hn"

Hinata blinked as Naruto chuckled knowing his friend was a man of little words. Hinata had to admit that Sasuke hadn't changed much since she last saw him, although he was obviously older and was still handsome, although Naruto was more good looking in her opinion. Hinata nibbled on her bread as she watched the couple help themselves to coffee as the maid Aya appeared with another refill.

The sun was shining brightly amongst the blue skies, the clouds were nonexistent. Aya returned with one of the maids from the kitchen, Hinata wasn't sure of her name again as they served everyone with what they had prepared.

Bacon, eggs, sausages, toast, mushrooms, tomatoes, pancakes was placed upon the table as they each helped themselves to the food that looked delicious. Sasuke had took some toast with some bacon and sausages and two huge helpings of tomatoes. Sakura helped herself to some bacon and eggs with some mushrooms. Naruto helped himself to one of everything nodding to the maid to bring out some more due to being really ravenous.

Hinata helped herself to a couple of pancakes, preferring something sweet as she poured some syrup over them. The meal was delicious as Sasuke helped himself to more tomatoes and some of the fresh bread. Sakura decided to try one of the pancakes. Naruto happily helped himself to what was left.

"I need to have a word with you Naruto" Sasuke announced after swallowing a bite of his meal.

Naruto who had a mouthful of food nodded his head, wondering what it was about.

"In private dobe" Sasuke continued knowing what he had to discuss was the favour he asked him.

Naruto nodded, understanding the situation. He had wondered briefly what had occurred back in Konoha with Kiba. But his mind had been preoccupied with other things, besides he wanted to talk to Sasuke himself regarding Hinata and his thoughts.

"So...um...thank you Sakura-chan for coming. I was worried, ya know" Naruto stated, rubbing the back of his head nervously.

Hinata wondered what was going on. First Sasuke wanted a word and now he was thanking Sakura for something that she was clueless about.

'What was he worried about?' she wondered inwardly.

"You don't need to thank me Naruto...besides at least it gives me and Sasuke an excuse to enjoy ourselves. We have been extremely busy with our work." Sakura replied with a smile.

The rest of breakfast was enjoyable, brief conversations were started amongst them as the maids took away the empty plates and untouched foods to put it up for later as they went through the supplies to prepare meals for them through the day. Naruto had stated they would be resting at the villa for the day including Sasuke and Sakura. Both his friends just wanted to relax inside the villa. They could go out sightseeing and shopping tomorrow, plus the festival was also happening tomorrow night so it would be fun.

Naruto wanted to remain inside the villa with Hinata. He had been frightened when she had fainted last night and felt so relieved that she was awake and appeared to be alright. But he was still slightly worried. He decided that a day to relax within the villa would be best for today, besides he had to talk to her and tell her how he truly felt about her and find out the answer to his inner worries.

Naruto gave Hinata a kiss on her cheek, enjoying the pink tint upon her cheeks.

"I'm going with Sasuke to deal with some business, so stay with Sakura and have some girl talk. I know she is excited to meet you" Naruto whispered into her ear.

Hinata nodded her head, her blush still present upon her cheeks as she watched the man she loved walk inside with Sasuke following close behind him. The table was silent as both woman were stuck on what to talk about.

Sakura deciding she was being silly and noticing the girl opposite seemed to be still very shy, decided to make the first move.

"Well um...would you like to walk with me along the beach, Hinata?"

Hinata nodded her head with a soft friendly smile, liking that offer very much. She missed having her talks with Anko and seeing as she would be making a new friend filled her with joy.

"I would l-like that very much Sakura" Hinata replied.

Sakura smiled as they both stood up and made their way to the beach, both ready to converse with one another and getting to know each other better. Sakura had to admit, the girl was beautiful and she had an aura about her that seemed to relax anyone. From what she had seen so far she, knew her blonde friend was infatuated with her as this girl was with him. Which was a good thing in her opinion, seeing how they were when she had awoken last night.

Sakura wasn't sure if they were together or not but from what Sasuke had told her, it seemed that Naruto was deeply in love with her and she doubted he has told her. Sakura had decided to find out more about her and keep an eye on her for now and hoped that the knucklehead would tell this girl his feelings. The brief conversation she had with Sasuke as they left their room earlier flooded her inner thoughts.

'Sakura...do not mention anything regarding Kiba Inuzuka or the investigation with Hinata do you understand?...Let the dobe tell her when he feels it is right. According to Shikamaru, he has important plans on this holiday so even if we will be staying here, do not mention anything on what has gone on back in Konoha, alright? But you can do me a favour and see if she still loves the dobe' Sakura remembered Sasuke's words before they greeted them at breakfast.

Sakura sighed but was determined to find out more about this girl she heard so much about her through the years and couldn't wait to get to know her she just hoped that any news she does find out and hadn't wasn't unwelcome news to both of them.

oOoOo

Konoha...

Itachi had come back into the station after talking to Tsume Inuzuka. The elder Uchiha had never seen such fury as he had seen in the elder woman's eyes. Her daughter had come inside not to long after Itachi told her the news about her son and wondered why her mother looked so angry.

Tsume felt sick to her stomach and held bitter disappointment at her own son. She had told Itachi that she had brought both her children up the best she could after her husband passed away and she couldn't understand why her son had done that. Itachi had confided to her what her son had done regarding taking large installments from Hyuga Hinata's account and had used it to pay debts for a girl he had been in a relationship with whilst deceiving the other.

Tsume felt as if the ground had swallowed her up completely when Itachi told her the rest. Especially who her son was dating and the fact that the woman named Tamaki was expecting his child but was heartbroken and in shock at the hospital. The daughter named Hana was in shock after hearing everything and had offered her services to help run the veterinary clinic on the girls behalf as well as take the girl in and look after her.

Tsume had agreed, seeing as the girl had no one and her son had caused the devastation. They were left to pick up the pieces of his handy work. Not only that, she was going to be a grandmother to top it all off and she was determined to look out for this girl and demanded to know how Tamaki was and if it would be possible to be at the girls side as soon as possible. She had told Itachi she wanted to beat the living daylights out of him but still loved him but was bitterly disappointed on how he has conducted himself.

Itachi had told both woman about Tamaki's current status as well as giving them the room and ward number she was being kept in and of course Tsunade Senju's personal contact details to discuss the health of the girl further between them for any help advice for how Tsume and Hana should take this, not wanting to upset Tamaki in anyway. Itachi had reassured them that Tsunade would discuss with them both at length and he gave this number to them if they needed him for anything regarding Kiba which Tsume took in agreement.

Itachi had a feeling Tsume would show up at the station to have a good talk with her son, and he was not going to give any hint about it either, feeling that the man needed a good talk down to and his mother seemed the most logical answer as she would knew him better than anyone seeing as he was her own flesh and blood.

Itachi felt relief when he saw his brother's desk seeing Shikamaru sat down opposite writing down notes and waiting to be briefed. Itachi felt emotionally drained. He requested some coffee and a sandwich to be got from the local cafe not far from the headquarters by the Secretary outside giving her his preference.

"So how did it go with the Inuzuka patriarch?" Shikamaru asked curiously.

"It went as expected. She had no clue to what her son had been up to after being estranged from him for about a year and a half. When I told her what had happened, she was devastated and angry. I felt sorry for her having to find out what her son had done."

"Yeah it must have been a huge shock to her. She is a very hard worker, as is her daughter...And what about Tamaki?" Shikamaru replied.

"Again she was horrified what her son had caused and demanded to know the situation on Tamaki after finding out about her situation and having no family left."

"I thought that would be the case. From what I have found out from people that know of them, the Inuzuka's are relatively nice people and extremely trustworthy and loyal. It's a shame that Kiba doesn't follow that code himself" Shikamaru informed.

"Yes Tsume said the same thing...She insisted she had brought both her children up the best she could as a single parent, she always worked hard and provided for them. She told me that Kiba was a good kid until his late teens when he went off the rails mixing with the wrong crowd, not obeying the house rules and not getting a steady job. She had no choice but to kick him out and she heard that he had moved to the land of rivers" Itachi continued

"Which would explain why he was there for some time, maybe he followed the wrong crowd there. I guess after that he enrolled at the college there and made friends with both Tamaki and Hinata. Due to the circumstances with Hinata wanting to escape being married off by her father, Kiba must have offered her an easy escape route after getting to know her." Shikamaru deduced.

"Hmm it all fits with what we have"

"Yeah I had better put this all down together on paper. I am waiting on a phone call from Shino. I think he has talked Kiba into entering a guilty plea hoping for a lesser sentence as the evidence is undeniable and he will serve jail time. Neji has told me that he won't press any charges against Tamaki as she clearly knew nothing about it."

"What about Neji?"

"Oh he and Tenten chan are staying in Konoha for bit. I asked Ino beforehand to give them a deal seeing as they would be staying. Jiraiya has asked me to let them know that they are welcome to stay at the Uzumaki-Namikaze estate seeing as they could be family very soon. Also, if Kushina finds out that her intended in laws are going to be staying at a hotel whilst they are staying within Konoha, she will get angry" Shikamaru chuckled knowing what Naruto's mother was like.

Itachi could just well imagine it as they both chuckled at their similar thoughts on the red haired woman.

"So, does Naruto's parents know about Naruto and Hinata and the proposal he gave to Hyuga Hiashi?" Itachi asked quite curious.

Shikamaru sighed as he let a sly smile grace his lips he had been on the phone for over an hour after his father had contacted wanting to know what was going on after Minato had told him the situation. He had quite a headache after as Temari was showing off due to having time taken away from their alone time which he had managed to make up for, trying not to think of his sand princess and the way her body felt beneath his own. A cough from Itachi broke him away from his lecherous thoughts.

"Yeah Naruto had told Minato about it before he had left on vacation. Minato was surprised about it, considering his son had actually thought out this proposal quite well. Apparently my father heard about it after Minato let it slip to Kushina who looked ready to kill Minato for keeping such information to himself." Shikamaru explained.

"Oh...isn't she happy about her son's choice?"

" She couldn't be happier...In fact she is excited. She's wanted grandchildren and was petrified her son could possibly not like women, after all he hasn't really had a relationship. So Kushina was relieved that wasn't so. She was angry that Minato was told and not her herself and wanted to fly out to the land of the moon and chastise her son but Minato managed to calm her down and convince her to wait until they return back to Konoha after explaining more about the situation." Shikamaru continued.

Itachi had to chuckle knowing how Kushina could be when he had visited the estate from time to time.

"Yeah so they are returning as soon as possible and apparently Minato has contacted Hiashi personally himself. According to my father, Hiashi will be coming to Konoha sometime next week. So Jiraiya has told Shizune to make sure the estate is perfect for Naruto's return and of course Hiashi's impending visit."

"Hmm that will be interesting. I wonder if Naruto has confessed as well, I'm glad. Is Hinata alright?"

"Sasuke informed me by text last night as I had to let Kakashi know so he could forward it on to Jiraiya. So as you can gather I was quite busy last night." Shikamaru stated lazily

Itachi rolled his eyes at the Nara knowing exactly how he could be. Shikamaru was a genius with a very high I.Q. But the man had a lazy disposition although his work was excellently accomplished and well executed, but Itachi knew he would much prefer to lie back and watch the clouds pass by while smoking his favourite brand of cigarettes. A terrible habit he had picked up from a man he classed as his teacher Asuma Sarutobi.

"I had better inform Sasuke. I know Sakura came up with the idea involving Kiba's family. I know Sakura had been extremely worried regarding her situation and care, even trusting her care to Tsunade" Itachi resumed.

"Yeah...well I will leave you to tell them as I expect Sasuke will be bringing Naruto up to speed about the situation, then it will be up to him to tell Hinata." Shikamaru answered grabbing his suitcase.

"Hn"

"Talk to you later, Itachi"

"Yeah, later Shikamaru"

Itachi watched as Shikamaru left the office, the door closed behind him, leaving the elder Uchiha to his thoughts of the day so far and to the impending conversation with his dear younger brother. He couldn't wait until he had his favourite coffee and sandwich so he could just relish the silence for a small while at least.

oOoOo

Naruto and Sasuke was currently in the small but adequate office room. Sasuke had told Naruto everything that had been uncovered regarding Kiba and what they had found out even on where the money had been used on and the innocent victim Tamaki who had accepted the large cash installments to save her family's business thinking it was genuine.

Sasuke had also told him the girls situation from her background history and background checks that Izumi had uncovered. He also told him that the girl was currently in the hospital pregnant but was completely devastated. This lead to some concern from Sakura about her health and mental state, and she had left her in the care of Tsunade.

He also told him that Sakura and brought up an idea on locating any potential family on Kiba's part and he was awaiting on word from his brother who he had left in charge of the investigation whilst he was here with Sakura. He did mention that he had found out that through Izumi that Kiba had in fact a mother and sister living within Konoha.

Naruto listened intently to it all with a mixture of emotions ranging from blatant anger, disgust and over all concern. Sasuke had also gave a run down on what had most probably happened regarding Kiba and Hinata's unique situation. From his investigations regarding where he had been living and who he had encountered, also his job as a gigolo and player with woman's hearts for money. But Naruto gathered from what Sasuke had mentioned regarding the arrest and what he had used the money on that the Inzuka appeared to have deep feelings for this Tamaki girl who he felt extremely sorry for.

"What does Neji say about all this?" Naruto had to ask, wondering what the elder Hyuga thought.

"Well he felt sorry for the girl and he believes as well as me and Shika does that she was completely innocent to what had gone on. When myself and Shika interviewed her she didn't believe any of it until we showed her the evidence at hand it broke her dobe...it really did and she has been in hospital ever since so Neji has decided that he will not push for any sort of charges against her knowing she is completely innocent and as much as a victim as Hinata was."Sasuke answered.

"I won't take any further action against her either, in fact keep me informed on her situation and her family's business. I would be happy to be a silent sponsor on her family's business with no strings attached. I hope that Kiba's family step in to help her but if not either way I as well as my family will gladly take care of her and her unborn child. In fact, I insist that we foot the bill on any treatment she had had and will endure for her and her little one." Naruto softly exclaimed .

Sasuke let out a rare smile knowing how Naruto was. Family was important to the blonde including his friends who he considered a extension of his family.

"So… when will you be telling Hinata?" Sasuke asked

Naruto stiffened slightly as he slumped over he was planning to tell her today and was very nervous about it. So decided to confide his fears with his friend.

"I-I plan to do it today teme...but...I'm worried she will turn me down, ya know" Naruto awkwardly stated.

Sasuke was surprised by his confession and inwardly face palmed. His friend could be a complete idiot sometimes and it amazed him how he was so clueless. Not only that he had a great relationship with Sakura, and it was rare for her to keep something from him, he would easily notice if she did. Sasuke knew her inside out, and even if she did, once they was alone he would have fun interrogating her he had his ways of persuasion after all.

"I don't get you sometimes dobe" Sasuke stated with a sigh

"Huh...What don't you get teme?" Naruto asked on in confusion.

"You are still as oblivious as you was those years ago dobe...Jeez...Do I need to spell it out to you or something like I did back then?" Sasuke stated with raised eyebrows.

"Watch it teme!" Naruto growled with flushed cheeks

"Listen dobe...that girl has feelings for you I am most certain of it. The way she looks at you is just as bad as she looked at you before when we was kids but it is different this time. In fact I know she is more in love with you than back then. So do me a favour and tell her how you feel soon… It's annoying watching you two tiptoe around your feelings. " Sasuke announced confidently.

Naruto was gaping like a fish, not knowing what to say as his cheeks intensified with colour. Sasuke smirked trying not to laugh at how absurd his friend looked. He wished he could take a picture and post it for everyone to see, it would be priceless.

"So...don't stress yourself idiot...Just tell her how you feel and that you want to be with her. I expect she is worried that you only see her as a maid. I still don't get why you did that in the first place" Sasuke continued folding his arms as he leaned back in his chair.

Naruto blinked at his friend already knowing himself why he did so. He had to wonder was Hinata worried he didn't really give it much thought she must know he had feelings for her he hadn't felt so much love and desire for a woman as he did with Hinata she was his princess, his world.

"I-I love her teme...I think I always have ya know. When she never returned to the music academy I thought like I was dying inside. For days, weeks even months passed and I couldn't really recover. I kept seeing her beautiful smile in my thoughts and it was unbearable at night when she would haunt my dreams. That melody she played that last day continuously played in my head all the time I couldn't forget about her and I didn't want to either. I held out such hope that she would come back ya know...but each time I would wait it never happened. All the girls who showed interest in me i knew deep down they didn't see the real me so I could understand how you felt that day in class when you had a go at Sakura-Chan and Ino-chan" Naruto stated

"Hn" Sasuke answered finding this confession from the dobe interesting.

"Ya know...I had a little crush on Sakura-chan back then...I thought she was pretty and interesting but then I think I liked her because she was so entranced by you, just like every girl in the school I think. I just wanted to beat you at something really, but the crush soon went away it was only brief after all. The other girls didn't really interest me at all, sure I slept with some of them in one night stands telling them I was not interested in a relationship with them. Some would agree hoping I would change my mind but most took the hint and we never took it further. Even the times Sakura-chan and Ino-chan tried to set up dates with their friends would be a waste of time I think they could sense that I wasn't remotely interested in them." Naruto continued.

Sasuke knew that Naruto had a small crush on Sakura back in the days at school catching him gazing at her sometimes but it only lasted for a couple of weeks no more than that he hadn't even bothered to pursue her really only asked her out on a couple of dates but was always denied vehemently by the pinkette.

"Then that night when I left you all I decided to walk around deep in my thoughts until I was knocked into by someone, finding my favourite shirt was wet from the soda I had. I was quite angry about it, at least until I heard a female voice apologise. When I set eyes on her teme, my whole world just stopped...I really thought it was some kind of cruel dream, ya know playing tricks on me until she collapsed on me then when I realised it was reality my body moved on its own. When she awoke and she revealed her name, that answered my deepest wishes. It was really her and when Shikamaru did those checks, I knew I had her in my life again. So I had to keep her with me after she told me what had occurred to her losing her family, job, and place she was staying as well as that bastard abandoning her like that, it was the only thing I could think of to keep her by me making her my personal maid."

"I'm not really surprised dobe, knowing you for so long. I know she is special to you, heck, I could have told you from the beginning...Maid or not you need to tell her your feelings and that you want to spend the rest of your life with her. So let's end this meeting. I do need to wait for Itachi to contact me on the Tamaki situation for Sakura's sake as she has been worried about her. Go find her and talk to her. If you don't tell her by the end of the day, I will lock you two in a room and tell her on your behalf." Sasuke hinted as he stood up.

Naruto turned slightly pale knowing that Sasuke was serious and would carry out that threat and decided that since he was brought up to speed he needed to talk to Hinata and tell her how he truly feels. Sighing inwardly he followed after Sasuke to find the woman that he wanted to confide in and fulfill the promise he made himself the night before.

oOoOo

Both Sakura and Hinata had so far had a pleasant conversation getting to know one another. Although awkwardly at first, they soon felt comfortable with one another talking about all sorts from the beautiful location they was currently in to the likes and dislikes from clothes, hair styles and make up.

Sakura found it quite enjoyable as they conversed getting to know each other and felt comfortable as time passed by. They were currently standing near the sea shore, watching and giggling as the waves covered their feet as the wet sands went in between their toes which felt ticklish to both. The sea breeze felt refreshing brushing against their warm faces due to the humidity from the weather.

Hinata was really enjoying herself in the company of Sakura, who she had found out was a great medic back in Konoha. Hinata had always wanted to go into medicine, finding an interest in certain remedies and salves that could be made from herbs and plants. Her mother used to tell her all sorts when she was little now remembering her list memories that slowly came to mind.

Sakura had been extremely careful to what she told Hinata, not wanting to let anything slip out by mistake and cause any problems. Well for now at least and hoped that whatever talk the boys was having Sasuke told the blonde idiot to finally confess his feelings to her.

The pinkette knew just from the brief encounters she had seen with them together that they both held deep feelings for one another that had obviously gone further in the relationship. Sakura also knew that Naruto could be oblivious most of the time and probably was scared Hinata would turn him down. She wanted to burst into laughter at how absurd it was. Sakura could remember that she was like that once upon a time, scared to tell Sasuke how she always felt about him in case he denied her once again only to be overwhelmed when he had took the situation in himself by confessing his feeling first.

Her thoughts were broken as the overbearing sun was shining down on them both, finding the humidity in the air growing hotter. Both herself and Hinata were quite pale and chances of catching sun stroke would be quite high.

"Well I think we should head back to the villa Hinata...It's getting hotter now and we could always come back later when the weather is cooler" Sakura stated.

"Sure Sakura-Chan...it is getting very hot" Hinata answered with a smile, her cheeks looking rather flushed.

"Are you alright? You look flushed?" Sakura asked a hint of concern in her voice.

"Y-Yes just feeling really hot that's all" Hinata answered assuring her new friend.

"Alright let's head back, here, take my arm" Sakura stated calmly looking her over with her green eyes.

Hinata was hesitant but quickly relented she did feel drained slightly by the sun baring down upon her. Also seeing as she had passed out at the palace last night, she didn't want to worry anyone further. Her thoughts were pushed to one side for now as they made their way back along the beach back to the villa.

They weren't that far from the pathway when they saw Sasuke and Naruto heading towards them. Sakura smiled as they approached and Sasuke smiled seeing that they got along quite well but could see Sakura's normal work mode kick in to play.

"Hinata-chan, are you alright?" Naruto asked in concern seeing Sakura holding her arm.

"Y-Yes Naruto-kun, it's just unbearably hot out here that's all. I-it's really d-draining" Hinata answered truthfully.

"Hn...usually it gets hot in these climates to work for residents, so they stay indoors on the peak times" Sasuke stated.

"Let's all head inside shall we? It will be nice and cool and Hinata can lay down and rest, also something nice and cool to drink wouldn't go amiss. I know I could go for the same myself" Sakura announced to assure the worried looks of Naruto.

Sasuke nodded as he led the way Naruto had took the initiative to pick Hinata up and carry her in bridal style, much to the surprise and embarrassment of Hinata. Naruto insisted that she was not heavy at all and that he wanted to do so trying to not show worry after all she had fainted the night before.

Sakura smiled, seeing how rare it was to see Naruto so caring and was happy for him to look so happy and in love. Sakura was pulled back by Sasuke as they both slowed down, watching Naruto go inside the villa with the bluenette.

"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura called out confused.

Sakura was surprised that Sasuke had pulled her back. She was shocked to see him looking so intently at her, making her heartbeat faster and then it clicked to her what her fiancé was doing.

"It's funny Sasuke-kun, you can clearly see how they both feel for one another yet neither of them see it for themselves. I can relate to Hinata in some way, as I felt like that about you" Sakura answered softly.

Sasuke glanced at the pinkette seeing her look back towards the villa. Her facial features held a small smile on her red tinted lips that made him want to just bend down and kiss her.

"Was Hinata alright? I failed to ask you last night as you were really tired when we went to bed" Sasuke whispered, enjoying her shiver.

Sasuke looked at her taking in her beautiful features waiting for her answer.

"She's completely healthy Sasuke-kun. Honestly, I'm not sure why she fainted. Maybe she was just exhausted." Sakura answered.

"Anyway, will Naruto be telling her his feelings? I assume he hasn't and I'm pretty certain that she loves him deeply." Sakura continued

"No...but he is going to tell her today or I threatened him I would do it myself and lock the door after" Sasuke stated with a sigh.

Sakura giggled placing her hands on his shoulder pulling him towards her she could feel the hot blazing sun upon her skin which seemed to drain some of her own energy too as she claimed his lips with her own. Sasuke relaxed into her arms as they kissed tasting her cherry lip gloss on his tongue. A few seconds passed as they broke apart staring into each other's eyes lost to their surroundings enjoying their time together.

"That's good. He needs to tell her and she needs to tell him that she loves him back. Besides, from what I saw they both have nothing to worry about whatsoever. Why don't we continue this in our room Sasuke-kun." Sakura purred the last bit quietly as she squeezed his buttocks with her hands.

Sasuke looked at her stunned, not realising that her hands had moved.
