Chapter 39: My World
"N-Naruto-kun...what is this place?" Hinata asked in awe as her pale violet eyes danced over the landscape. The entire area looked like the a perfect copy of Fire Country, warm and sun bathed with fresh green plants abound. Small forms of life lived in the trees and roaming through the meadows were deer and various other larger animals. Seeing as they were standing on the top of a cliff she found that every so often there would be a clearing with three bare tree trunks in its center.
"As I said, welcome to my world Hinata-chan," Naruto said with a smile as she scratched the back of his head. "Y-your world?" Hinata asked in confusion. Naruto nodded and waved his hand over the land. "This is my realm," Naruto said with a wide grin. "How is..." Hinata began but Naruto finished with, "this possible? Easy," Naruto said as he led Hinata away from the door and down from the cliff as the gateway behind them closed then disappeared into the rock of the cliff face.
"Well every Kitsune has their own realm. Kind of like it's own space to be safe and alone. I'm not exactly sure what Kyuubi sensei said about it but I think it's like a fold in the fabric of time and space or something like that," Naruto said scratching his head in confusion which Hinata found adorable. "Anyway, this used to Kyuubi sensei's world but after some...serious reworking this is my own little world...well not little world but it's mine!" Naruto said with an excited smile. "How big is it Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked while looking around the wide open area.
"Well, I'm not sure but Kyuubi sensei said something about being about as big as Fire country," Naruto said with a thoughtful look to the clear blue sky. "F-Fire Country!" Hinata said in surprise. She knew it was big but the size of the Fire Country? "Well some of the lower Kitsune can turn a knot hole into a mansion bigger then the Hyuga compound. It kind of makes sense," Naruto said.
Hinata looked around the place, even activating her Byakugan finding it to be even more beautiful then what could be seen from the cliff side. It had to be one of the most beautiful places she had ever been. "Hey Hinata-chan," Naruto said drawing Hinata out of her Byakugan to look directly at Naruto. "Have you ever seen snow?" Naruto asked which caused Hinata to give him a look of confusion. Naruto smiled, she was so damn innocent it was killing him. She was also so cute and yet uncomparably beautiful.
Hinata thought and said, "only once or twice, it never gets cold enough for it. Why Naruto-kun?" Naruto smiled and closed his eyes. Taking a deep breath she felt a small pulse of chakra from him and in an instant the skies darkened, the temperature dropped, and softly, slowly, it began to precipitate soft white pillows of snow. Hinata stared in amazement at the snow, how did it change from clear skies to snowing in seconds? Hinata turned to see the positively glowing sky blue with golden edged eyes of her love.
Naruto smiled and said, "I control everything in here. From the weather to the life in it to the shape of it." Hinata stared at this world, almost literally in the palm of Naruto. Naruto wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her into him returning to the position they were in on the cliff side before Naruto called the gate.
Hinata sighed as she was drawn into that warmth again. It was quite a sweet scene, golden Kitsune holding the one he loves in the middle of the forests while it was snowing. The small life that lived in the forests disappearing into their burrows for the 'winter' while the larger animals calmly trotted along. The great trees stood proud as the snow slowly succumb to gravity, landing in both Kitsune and girls hair.
Hinata gave a light shiver but Naruto moved his six tails and wrapped them around her softly giving her a nice warm coat of fur. Feeling the loving warmth of Naruto's tails and body against her it made a blush rise to her cheeks but over it all came a sudden feeling of complete peace. In moments she was asleep and Naruto smiled, apparently his presence was really calming. Using his control over this realm he constructed a house from nothingness and carefully carried Hinata inside to give her a good nights rest.
Sakura grinned, this had to be one of her most diabolical plans yet. After waiting for three days she heard the dunce had woken up. "Ok Sasuke-kun, do you have the ramen ready?" she asked the black haired boy following her. Well forced into following her it was all relative. "Yes," Sasuke said as he held up the bag full of bowls of ramen. Ok...three...two...one!" Sakura said as she burst into the room with the name Uzumaki Naruto hanging on the door.
"Ok Naruto you're gonna listen and you're gonna listen good!" Sakura as she approached the lump on the hospital bed. "Sasuke-kun and I have six bowls of ramen," Sakura began with a grin as she spoke loudly to a very humanoid lump in the sheets of the bed. Sasuke sighed and looked around the room finding something very interesting. "Uh...Sakura," Sasuke began but was hushed with a hand gesture from Sakura.
"We went through a lot of trouble finding you and buying this ramen so you're gonna start talking here and now," Sakura resumed until Sasuke demanded her attention again. "Sakura, you should look at this," Sasuke said only for Sakura to give him a hushing gesture. "First question, why the hell do you look like a Kitsune!" Sakura screamed to which Sasuke sighed and pulled Sakura's shoulder forcing her to look.
"What is it Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said impatiently until finally noticing what Sasuke was pointing at. Check out hours...Naruto had already left. "Uh...then who was I screaming at?" Sakura asked walking up to the bed and pulling back the sheet to reveal...
The first thing she registered was that it was warm, comforting warm too. The kind of warm she only got from... "Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked softly as she sat up slowly then took in where she was. It seemed that she had somehow gotten into a home and then she saw the source of her warmth. Her Naruto-kun was lying next to her, his back to hers with his tails draped over her while he lie there without something keeping him from the cold.
Hinata sighed, sometimes this was just to much. She scooted closer to the fox boy and wrapped her arms around his stomach, pressing herself into his back to give him her warmth. Naruto smiled and curled farther into the warmth having his tails rest over himself and the warmth. Hinata smiled softly at the sleeping Naruto, so child like and innocent. This wasn't the face of a boy who had killed the S-class Nukenin Hoshigaki Kisame.
This was the face of Uzumaki Naruto, the innocent Kitsune that she loved so much. Hinata then noticed something was missing from the favorite fox boy. He seemed to have lost his sleeveless coat. He was lying there in his sleeveless shirt...and on the other side of the room was his coat. How it ended up there Hinata would rather not know but maybe he would be warmer with it on.
Hinata began to get up but in a flash she was stopped and pulled into a heavy embrace by six very fluffy and very strong tails along with a pair of strong arms. Naruto hugged his prize mercilessly and with a content sigh he nuzzled into what felt to be the warmest part of the object he could reach. Hinata blushed without abandon as Naruto hugged her close to him, her front to his as he buried his face into the crook of her neck.
Now not saying that this position was unfavorable, no she would really love to be like this with her Naruto-kun more often but...he was asleep. Still this little predicament was giving her some thoughts people wouldn't peg the shy Hyuga heiress for having. What was the Genjutsu Naruto was talking about? Lust? Oh boy...what could he have seen in there? Hinata's blush deepened, "N-Naruto-kun."
Naruto mumbled in his sleep but it was distorted by where he had his head. That certain place just happened to be hovering over some of Hinata's skin and when his hot breath came in contact with her skin her blush instantly deepened and the thoughts she had went up tenfold. Maybe if she kept his talking he'd do that again and maybe slip with his tongue. Or she could do one better and wake him up THEN have some fun!
Hinata shook these thoughts out of her head but had to agree with one thing, she had to wake him up. Oh god what time was it! She was dead! "Naruto-kun!" Hinata said urgently swiftly breaking out of Naruto's hold and shaking him quickly. Naruto groaned and sat up, his eyes squinted as he yawned loudly. "What's the problem Hinata-chan?" Naruto mumbled as he rubbed his eyes clear of sleep.
"We have to get going Naruto-kun! Father will be furious if I'm missing for more than a day!" Hinata said frantically almost on the edge of hyperventilating. Naruto sighed and brought Hinata into a hug, petting her head and calming her down with soft words. "I'll be ok Hinata-chan," Naruto said with a soft and reassuring voice. "No it won't!" Hinata exploded, "he's probably wondering where the heiress is and he's going to kill anyone who withholds nonexistent information and-and!" Hinata ranted until Naruto stopped her with a well placed kiss on her lips.
Hinata was instantly calmed by the lip lock, if she didn't know better Naruto was preforming a jutsu on her. It felt almost to damn good! Not that she was complaining mind you. As he broke away from the kiss he sighed and said, "now Hinata-chan. If your father was worried he would be worried about his daughter more then the heiress. Besides that I can promise that even if you spend three months in this place you will not be in trouble." Hinata blinked in bewilderment, was Naruto off his rocker? "What are you talking about Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked with the cutest look of confusion on her face.
Naruto smiled and said, "first let's play a game, guess my age." Hinata squinted one eye and gave a slight frown seeing as she was COMPLETELY lost. "You're 15 years old with your birthday on October 10th right Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked while Naruto blinked. That was...very specific which caused Hinata to blush. She never told anyone she knew that much about Naruto-kun! Naruto coughed and said, "well except for the exact birth date..." Naruto grinned ear to ear and said, "as far as this place is concerned I'm about 40 plus years old."
It was quite entertaining to see the great Uchiha prodigy run from a room covering his mouth and his face green. "Uh...you should get that looked at," came the very scared and disturbed voice of Haruno Sakura as she walked from the room stiff as a board. She had seen A LOT of things under the tutelage of Tsunade but that one...that just crept her out.
"Ok...now that we know Naruto isn't in the room," Sasuke said as he valiantly held back his lunch. Sakura crossed her arms and thought, "he has to be at the ramen stand again. The first thing he'd do with his day would be eat his heart out." Sasuke nodded and forced his thoughts into good things, hopefully he would forget everything he saw.
Power...destruction...injuring Kabuto...jutsu...Sakura...wait what? Sasuke shook his head, what the hell was going on here! Sasuke took a breath and followed the pink haired kunoichi forcing any and every thought out of his head. "Sasuke? Are you a with me?" Sakura asked waving a hand in front of the dark haired boys face. Snapped from his ravine he looked at Sakura and asked the oh so intelligent question, "what?"
Sakura sighed and said, "the Ramen man said Naruto and Hinata were in here a little while ago. He doesn't know where they were going though." Sakura shrugged and said, "oh well, we know where he lives right?" Sasuke smirked, Naruto was in for hell tomorrow. Suddenly Sasuke felt someone bump into him, but this bump wasn't normal. This was a completely intentional encounter that had left something in his pocket.
Sasuke turned and called over his shoulder, "something just came up Sakura." Sakura sighed and said, "I know this is kind of old but, would you like to go on a date some time?" Sasuke froze, as soon as the natural response formed in his mind it froze before it went to his lips. This feeling he has been experiencing lately...it was worth investigation. Especially if it kept occurring around Sakura. Yes he was that clueless...then again after so many years with Orochimaru who wouldn't lose it?
However Sasuke knew enough that he had to respond. He turned his upper body with a smirk and said, "sure." Sakura blinked and checked her ears mentally, yeah they were working right. Must be a malfunction. "I-I'm sorry. Could you repeat?" Sakura asked in a disbelieving voice. Sasuke almost laughed and with a soft smile, something he had NEVER done, replied, "I said sure."
"Hinata-chan! Hinata-chan!" came the repetitive call she barely heard from the darkness. Wait...she knew that voice. She slowly pulled her self into the waking world with just a few cobwebs in her mind. "Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked slowly opening her eyes to the light. "Hinata-chan!" came the same call as she felt her body being drawn into a deep hug.
Oh this felt good...maybe she could just fall asleep again. No, no she had to stay awake! Hinata pulled away from the warmth that was Naruto and looked at him while he had worry etched in his face.
"I'm SO sorry Hinata-chan! I didn't know that-" he was quickly cut off with a kiss to the lips, very daring from the oh so shy Hyuga girl. They broke apart with a lightly blushing Naruto and a softly smiling, but also blushing, Hinata. "Naruto-kun? Were you telling the truth?" Hinata asked softly while Naruto nodded. "I really am sorry..." Naruto said which made Hinata shake her head at his confusion.
"No Naruto-kun. I mean...are you really..." Hinata said reluctant to finish the sentence. Naruto laughed and nodded, "yep, I am really about 40 years old, give or take a few months!" Hinata blinked, "then why don't you look like it?" Naruto rose an eyebrow and said, "I'm a Kitsune Hinata-chan. I age so much slower then humans that I'm gonna look like I'm young until I'm 500!"
Hinata's heart fell at that moment, he would out live her so many times over. That...well it just hurt. That was the best way of putting it without going into a long psychoanalytic prognosis. Naruto noticed her face fall and he looked at her confused, "Hinata-chan? Is something wrong?" Hinata shouldered the pain with a soft smiling mask, just as she had seen her love do so many times, and responded with, "I'm just fine Naruto-kun. I was just thinking how this answered my question about your sixth tail."
Naruto's look of fear and confusion vanished and was replaced with a look of thought and nostalgia. "Hinata-chan, you asked me what I did in the two months I was gone right?" Hinata nodded as she watched her love lean against a wall and close his eyes. In seconds a table popped from the ground and on it's flat surface were two cups of tea and a few riceballs. "Get comfortable because this is going to be a long story..."
