Discovered…
She awoke to the sounds of rushing water and singing birds, alarmed at first to find her midsection covered by a warm, but heavy arm. She reached out, gently brushing the ebony locks from his face, surprised to realize that he had fallen asleep practically on top of her in only his pants. It took her a moment to realize that the soft white shirt she was garbed in belonged to him, and her heart swelled as she remembered what had occurred.
The events of their evening came rushing back to her in a flash, her heartbeat increasing as a soft blush filled her cheeks. They spent the hours dancing like they always did, not needing to speak in order to know what they both needed in this moment. He carefully carried her over to the rivers' edge, laying her down and tenderly kissing her. This did not surprise her, over the years they had found comfort in each others' embrace many a time, always stopping before things got too heated.
They both knew they could never take that next step, he had chosen a path upon which she could not follow, and until he was done with his quest she would wait quietly for him to realize that she had always been there for him. She knew nothing of the torment that raged inside of him when he would leave her side, his body craving to possess her completely; she only knew that she would never be whole again until he was by her side permanently.
This time however, something was different between them. He looked into her eyes in a way that made her blush; holding her far closer than ever before, his hands roaming over her curves as their bodies mimicked the flow of the river. He had no idea what he was doing to her, seeming unaware of the affect his questing hands caused in her. Her pulse raced as she kept her hands from his body, not wanting to give in to the impulses she knew were hiding inside her quickly beating heart.
Without a word he began to remove her clothing, the look in his eyes giving her all the incentive she needed to give herself over to him fully and completely. It was her first time, a fact made obvious by her questioning eyes, yet she never asked if it was his as well. Staring down at her afterwards, he found himself wishing it had been. When they finished, he dressed her in his shirt and held her close as he softly whispered in her ear. "It's over, he's dead, and the other one is no longer a concern."
She smiled up at him, his glittering onyx eyes reflecting a sureness she had not seen there before. The haunted look that he once carried from the torment he suffered so many years ago was gone, and as her fingers traced over his bare shoulders she could no longer feel the wretched mark that branded him. She could see that it was still there, but upon activating her Byakugan she no longer sensed the terribly tainted chakra bled from it before.
She gazed into his eyes, love shining through as she struggled to hide the tears she could feel coming. She was crying because she knew he was finally at peace, and in some way she knew that she contributed to that. She did not ask anything of him then, listening as he murmured softly about a few loose ends he still needed to tie up. She smiled softly, touching her forehead to his as she begged him to stay the night with her. He kissed her again, far more passionately than ever before, and held her until she fell asleep.
So it came to be that she had woken up on this lovely morning, her body pinned quite comfortably by his, wondering what had caused him to stay. If she had not been in such a state of wonderment, she might have heard the footfalls of the approaching Hunter Nins. Her partner, proving he was not as asleep as she assumed, quickly sprang to his feet and stood in front of her, holding a kunai out with red eyes blazing. The only sound for a few brief moments was the sound of their breathing, until the three people before them removed their masks with varying looks of shock on their face.
The tallest of the trio, a dark haired man with startling eyes which glittered like smoked glass betrayed no emotion just opened and closed his mouth a few times, while the blonde man smiled slowly. The third member of the group, a slight woman with pink hair, stared as if her heart was breaking into a million pieces. They recognized the man in front of then, though the years changed him in ways none could imagine.
All three of them seemed utterly confused by what they saw before them, having suspected that the recent reports of a known missing nin being spotted around this area the same time every month were referring to the Uchiha standing before them. The dark haired man broke the silence, his grey eyes showing his distress. "Hinata-sama, what is the meaning of this? How long have you been consorting with this traitor?"
All eyes on her, the pale woman stared up at her friends, her knees going weak as she found herself the object of far too much attention. She felt her legs give out, heard shouting around her, and as her world went black all she could remember was the tenderness in his eyes as he leaned forward to catch her. He knew there would be Hell to pay later, but right now all he cared about was keeping his Hyuuga safe.
