"…Well, I picked out six along with some smaller ones for daggers. I think two of them would work really well as blades that would suit you Hinata."
She looked surprised, "Oh, you picked out some for me too?" At his nod she blushed again and said, "Thank you Naruto; you didn't have to. That's really nice of you." Mentally smacking herself again, she regained her more commanding demeanor and said. "Well, I suppose I'll trust in your choices."
"We need to hide or destroy this skull." said Naruto. "Can you send this skull to the bottom of the bog?"
"Why?" asked Hinata. "It's a total waste of magic to move such a massive object!" she objected.
Naruto said, "We can't let others get their hands on those teeth that rightfully are my spoils. Hiding them will give us a supply later and we won't have to worry about others having those same weapons to use against us."
Hinata's expression softened. "Sorry Naruto. Sometimes I forget you weren't educated as a lord even though you still think like one. I didn't mean to snap at you."
"It's okay Hinata." said Naruto with a smile. "Go ahead and hide the skull. We'll remember where it is." Nodding, Hinata cast a spell and the skull disappeared. Naruto then said, "You sure are amazing Hinata."
She blushed bright red and hid her face from him. "L-let's go." she stammered. "We're burning daylight."

Chapter 3
Naruto and Hinata's camp
It was very early morning and Naruto was in an icy river edge scrubbing the horrid stench of the Bog Lurker off of himself and his tattered gear. Hinata had been very surprised that he decided to do this at the crack of dawn in the wilderness. 'I figured he'd just stay downwind of me and stink to high heaven until I forced him to clean up at sword point. Instead he got up before we even ate and insisted on cleansing himself. Most warriors don't even have a sense of hygiene.' The young Valkyrie found herself once again puzzled by Naruto's strange behavior. While she had always been one for cleanliness Naruto was kind of taking it to an extreme washing himself in these freezing temperatures. The river had ice along the shores after all. It had been about an hour that she'd listened to Naruto splashing about as he washed himself.
Hinata was sitting at their camp on the other side of a line of shrubs so Naruto would have some privacy. He could always yell if there was an emergency. Suddenly Hinata felt that a presence was nearby and sensed magics at work. Specifically; it was glamour magics. Hinata scanned about with her all seeing eyes and saw someone had cast a glamour spell to hide their presence from her and Naruto by blending in with the shrubery. Fearing it was an assassin Hinata drew her saber and crept up stealthily on the spot she sensed was being covered by magics.
As the young Valkyrie sneaked up on her target she heard giggling, perverse giggling. Recognizing the voice Hinata sweat dropped and lowered her sword as she said, "I humbly request that you show yourself Lady Freyja."
Melodious laughter whispered in Freyja's voice on the wind as the Goddess started to became visible. "I'm enjoying a rather spectacular show young Hinata. You should come over and join me." As Freyja became fully visible and much to Hinata's disbelief the Goddess of sex was lying on her stomach peering through the shrubs giggling as she hungrily stared at Naruto who was still washing himself in the river. Hinata couldn't help but notice several elven women that were followers of Freyja flitting about. They had shrunk their sizes to those of fairies so they could easily peer through the shrubs. They seemed equally captivated with gawking at Naruto as he washed. They were all tittering with laughter in tiny voices as they made lewd remarks about the wonderful display Naruto was unintentionally putting on.
Now Hinata's gut reaction was to start stomping on the perverted little elves with her boots before giving Lady Freyja a proper ass kicking but Hinata figured that even the Allfather himself couldn't save her from Lady Freyja's wrath if she did that. As a result the steamed Valkyrie was going to storm back to the fireside and let the bunch of eye-rapists have their fun. That's when she heard all the elves and Freyja gasp and stare in absolute silence. Then Hinata heard the enchanting music on the wind of a Nokk which was a male water spirit that lured women, children and occasionally men to their deaths by drowning...
…
Naruto was sitting in the freezing water and had washed the last of the grime from his hair that reached his lower back when he heard an enchanting melody being played by a man sitting on a rock further out in the river. The man smiled at him and said eagerly, "Ah, an audience. Come listen to my song while you finish cleansing yourself my new friend." As the water spirit played his violin like instrument he kept beckoning Naruto closer and closer as enchanting mists started to gather around them. When Naruto was within arm's reach the Nokk said, "I could teach you to play this kind of music my friend. Surely you could use it to charm your way into many a maiden's bed. What do you say? I'll trade you for that lovely ring."
Hinata was about to cry out to Naruto to get back when a horrendous cacophony rang out in the river and the Nokk's enchanting mists dispersed and the music stopped abruptly. The Nokk was lying there on the rock unconscious and bleeding with his violin broken into pieces over his head. Naruto had just beaten the Nokk senseless with his own musical instrument. The blonde warrior was grumbling about 'Wanting peace and quiet during his morning bath' and 'Annoying water spirits pissing him off before he even had a chance to eat breakfast' and that 'Stringed instruments were irritating.'
Hinata, Freyja and her elven followers were all completely dumbfounded that Naruto was not only immune to the Nokk's enchantments but beat the holy hell out of the dangerous spirit for just bothering him. It was as if the fact the Nokk probably planned to kill him was purely academic. Then they saw Naruto grab the pouch off the unconscious Nokk's waist and after counting up the gold in it he took it for himself. Not knowing he had an audience Naruto walked up on shore a shook the water out of his hair like a dog before he got dressed back in his clean but battered armor. He saw Hinata sitting there waiting for him when he headed back towards camp with a flat look on her face. Looking a bit self conscious he said, "Ummm….Hello Hinata."
Hinata face palmed and said, "Tell me you did not just violently waylay a Nokk with his own musical instrument and then rob him."
The blonde scratched his neck nervously and said, "Sorry Hinata. Most water spirits and I get along really well but Nokks I just can't stand. He had it coming. Besides, He wanted my ring. Truthfully I don't care much about it but it must have some kind of magical property for that Nokk to request it specifically. I wonder if I should get rid of it. What do you think?" he asked as he handed her the Vestmar Ring of Lordship.
Hinata was once again surprised at Naruto's deductive reasoning. 'I keep forgetting he's not just a warrior.' "Keep it on you." she said handing the ring back. "I can't sense any dangerous enchantments on it but that's really not my specialty. Let's let the dwarf Dvalin look it over along with the arrow. I'm sure if there are some sort of magics contained within it he could tell us." Naruto nodded and the pair returned to their campfire to eat. There lay a beautiful set of nobleman's clothes and a superb set of armor. 'It seems Lady Freyja has been here and is making her move.' thought Hinata with a sweat drop. It had a parchment with it that Hinata read aloud, "For a beautiful warrior who put on a beautiful show."
Naruto looked puzzled as he looked around and said, "I wonder who it's for."
Hinata's moonlight eyes got big as saucers. 'Is he really that dense?!' "Naruto, this is gift for you bestowed upon you by the Goddess Lady Freyja. I'm sure she must have been in the area and saw you needed fresh clothing." 'After all, she was gawking at you all morning while you were naked.' thought Hinata irritably.
"We'd better not touch it then." said Naruto in a grim tone. "It could be deadly."
Hinata raised her eyebrows. "This is a gift from a Goddess, why would you-"
Naruto cut Hinata off in a voice like iron. "Every so called gift I've been given by anyone from when I was a small child was sabotaged or poisoned in some way. I remember getting food when I was starving once in the dead of winter and the poison in it made me throw up blood for nearly a week. All the villagers had to say was it was a shame that I lived. I don't accept gifts from anybody."
"Is that why you didn't use any of that red gold Lady Freyja gave you to spend and left behind that money for Lady Tsunade even though she didn't want it?" Hinata asked sadly. Naruto nodded. "I'm so sorry Naruto. You should never have been treated that way."
"It's unimportant now." said Naruto. "All those who tormented me are dead. How do we give the gift back to the Goddess? Or should we just leave it here?"
Hinata said, "We are comrades, yes?" Naruto nodded. "Then trust me as your comrade when I say that Goddess Freyja likes you. She told me your Father was one of her lovers." Seeing Naruto looked less than impressed Hinata said. "To refuse Lady Freyja's gift would be considered a terrible insult and would incur her wrath. You do not want an angry Goddess after you Naruto. You have more than enough troubles as it is. You need to pray and thank her for this gift and accept it graciously. I implore you to do so."
Seeing complete honesty in Hinata's beautiful moonlight eyes Naruto reluctantly agreed and prayed to Freyja in a traditional warrior's prayer he had learned in the army. He then quietly folded the nobleman's clothes and chainmail armor and put them in his pack. Naruto had no idea that Lady Freyja was still present and shedding tears that Naruto's childhood was so bad that he actually would refuse gifts from anyone out of suspicion and fear of being hurt. She wanted to see the handsome blonde filled with joy instead of depression. The Goddess decided to depart after that. Naruto had said the appropriate prayers and accepted her gift so there was little else to do here.
As Naruto put the gifts away Hinata was dumbfounded. "Aren't you going to wear them?" asked Hinata incredulously as she looked at his torn and battered gear he was wearing.
Naruto said, "Wearing them would attract the attention of bandits like bees to honey. That and they are a bit too good for me, I'm no nobleman."
Hinata could see his point about the bandits and all but she did point out, "Actually you are a nobleman Naruto. You are the honorable Lord of Vestmar or have you forgotten?"
"We'll talk about it later." said Naruto as he deflected the question. Let's get some breakfast, I am starving."
…
Naruto and Hinata were able to travel peacefully the next two days and found themselves at Dvergr-heima, the dwarf settlement where Dvalin lived. It was a rather bustling town where a lot of commerce was going on. It was there that Naruto ran into an old friend of his, Sasuke; the second son of the Royal house of Grenland. "Sasuke!" called out Naruto happily.
Sasuke turned and his expensive green traveler's cloak flapped slightly behind him as he walked over to greet Naruto. Sasuke gave a minimal grin and said, "We meet again Naruto the Trickster. I thought you joined the Army in Vestmar. What are you doing way out here in Dvergr-Heima?"
'Naruto the Trickster?' thought Hinata.
"I might ask you the same thing Sasuke; we are a long way from Grenland." said Naruto grinning widely.
Sasuke's face turned dark and stormy. "Let us go to a pub and talk in private. I came here to get a weapon."
Hinata cleared her throat and poked Naruto. Naruto looked a bit embarrassed and said, "Allow me to present my beautiful travelling companion, Hinata of the Moonlight Eyes." She blushed a tiny bit at the 'beautiful' comment.
Sasuke's eyes took an appreciative walk all over Hinata's body before he said, "I bid you greetings fair Hinata; I am Sasuke the Lord of Grenland. I don't know why a Lady such as yourself would be traveling with this ruffian but Naruto is a good man despite his uncouth appearance."
Hinata really didn't care for Sasuke's backhanded insult to Naruto and disliked Sasuke looking lustfully at her body like a piece of meat even more. Nevertheless she curtsied appropriately and said, "It's an honor to meet the Lord of Grenland."
Naruto was wondering why the hell Sasuke was claiming the title of Lord but saw the ring on Sasuke's finger that proved it. The three went to a pub for some privacy.
….
"….So Vestmar was wiped out and you are the son of Minato the Yellow Flash." said Sasuke. "Now I understand why there is so much talent hidden within you Naruto. You are of noble blood. You are also the last of Vestmar. At least take comfort that your people died fighting the enemy. I too am the last of my people."
Naruto gasped. "What happened to Grenland? How could Harald Fairhair have overcome you? You had a superb army and even better fortifications. Not to mention you had the advantage with the red eyes of your clan."
Sasuke growled, "We never faced Harald Fairhair." Sasuke's eyes lit up red with three tomoes. "The goddess Sif cursed my ancestor Madara with madness after he made an attempt on her virtue despite the fact she was already Thor's wife. She said the madness would run in the family for one hundred years but nothing ever came of it except for Madara himself. I was out on a hunting trip in the wilds and when I returned al my kin were slain save my precious elder brother Itachi who was dying. He said that the madness put on our ancestor by that pitiful goddess manifested in all of them at once and all of my kin turned upon one another. It was a mass kinslaying and you are well aware that unjust kinslayers are not welcome in Valhalla…."
Naruto shed a tear; he had friends among the red eyed clan and greatly respected Itachi in particular. "Sasuke; tell me how I can help you my friend."
"I and I alone have the task of avenging my fallen kin Naruto." said Sasuke in an iron tone. His words were laced with anger and hatred. "It has nothing to do with you. Besides; you have your own quest for vengeance to fulfill. Let us plan to meet up again after our quests are done and restore Grenland and Vestmar as friends."
Naruto asked, "But what are you going to do Sasuke? You cannot possibly be attempting to avenge yourself on a Goddess."
"That's exactly why I'm here." said Sasuke with a glare of rage. "I'm going to retrieve the sword Dreyrugr because it can kill a God. With it I will carve Sif into pieces and avenge my family!" The tomoes in his eyes seemed to spin with madness.
Hinata said calmly, "Do not seek the black blade. It will only end you as it has all its wielders in the past. It cannot be mastered."
Sasuke glared at her. "Don't tell me what to do wench! I will master that blade and bring the Gods to their very knees for what they have wrought upon my clan!"
"Calm down Sasuke." said Naruto quietly. "I've heard of this Dreyrugr but why would you think it was here?"
Sasuke took a long drink of ale and calmed himself. After a few minutes he said, "Dreyrugr was rumored to have been forged in this very village. That should give me leads on where it is now." Sasuke slapped enough gold on the table to pay for all three of their meals. "When we meet again I will show it to you and tell you of the glories of God slaying!" With that Sasuke put on his green traveler's cloak and left in a hurry.
Naruto made to get up to talk to Sasuke further but Hinata said, "Let him go Naruto. He is consumed with the madness put upon his clan by Lady Sif and is on a doomed quest. There is nothing you can do for him. If he manages to find the black blade it will surely lead him to his death and many others. Of this there is no question. It seems the Fates have decided to end the red eyed clan for good."
Naruto said, "But if I help him-"
"Then you will die by his hands or have to kill him with your own." said Hinata in a detached voice. "Please let your friend go. He has chosen his path." She squeezed Naruto's hand in her own. "I do not want you to die Naruto." Hinata said sadly.
Naruto slumped back in his chair. "What about this Dreyrugr then? I know its name means bloodstained but not much else."
Hinata sighed. "Dreyrugr was said to have been created when the Gods were young and has its own mind. The black blade was supposed to be so powerful that it could indeed slay a God. The sword craves chaos and slaughter. The phrase it uses is 'My master is my slave.' It wants to kill and kill to feed its hunger till the end of time and glories in it. It is so corrupted that even Lady Hel herself would not touch it and she is a Goddess of death. I was told that at first it acts submissive and thankful to have a new wielder and that it grants that person incredible power. Eventually though; the wielder becomes addicted to that power and is completely enslaved to the black blade's power and will. The Dreyrugr has been in the hands of many a tyrant and the only way that a soul is released from the black blade's imprisonment is to be cut down themselves. I hope your friend never finds it."
"What will happen if Sasuke does find it?" asked Naruto with worry in his voice.
"Then your friend will rise for a time as an invincible champion before he falls to the blade's power and is reduced to a bloodthirsty, red-eyed screaming ghoul that plagues all life." said Hinata in a hollow tone.
They sat together for a long time in silence and Naruto said quietly. "I hope he never finds Dreyrugr either."
Hinata smiled softly and said, "You have enough of your own problems Naruto. You need not worry about Sasuke. If by some miracle he comes to his senses perhaps you will meet as friends again in the future."
…
After getting directions the pair soon made their way the forge of Dvalin where many seemed to be gathered to buy the dwarf's many wares. Naruto admired the astounding quality of the items for sale and then he nearly fainted at the prices. Hinata giggled at his horrified expression. "Dvalin was the one who spun Lady Sif's golden hair and crafted Allfather Odin's spear Gungnir. Make no mistake, his work is worthy of the Gods and he should be treated with the greatest of respect."
Within the forge Dvalin was speaking with Sasuke who had flaunted his noble title to get ahead of the commoners. They were sitting across a table from one another. The blacksmith said, "Aye, the Dreyrugr was said to have been created here long before the memories of men and dwarves. But it is a fool's errand to seek it Lord of Grenland."
"Are you saying it doesn't exist dwarf?!" asked Sasuke angrily as he stood up to tower over the dwarf. "For I know it does! Tell me where it can be found!"
Dvalin raised an eyebrow at this young man who was threatening him. "I never said it didn't exist boy. I said it was foolish to seek it." The dwarf drummed his fingers. "If you must know the last place I heard it was seen was in a demolished castle deep in the Sautso Canyon in the far north. It was said a horrid tyrant ruled the whole region from there and when he died the Dreyrugr was left in his cold dead hands where it could no longer harm anybody. Unless some damned fool retrieved it it's probably still in that area."
Sasuke dropped a few coins on the table for Dvalin's information and said, "I will find that blade and slay all in my way dwarf." Then Sasuke stormed out in a rush.
….
It was hours later that Naruto and Hinata were allowed in to see the master blacksmith. Dvalin was shocked and terrified to see a Valkyrie there but then dumbfounded and puzzled at the fact that a warrior in shredded armor was in fact the Lord of Vestmar that Lady Freyja's messenger had told him about. Dvalin honestly wondered if Naruto was the real deal until he looked into Naruto's eyes. There was a power in them that Dvalin could not deny. It chilled him. This was the son of the Yellow Flash. Dvalin said, "Goddess Freyja told me of your coming. I am honored to meet the Lord of Vastmar. I must ask though, why did you wait in line with the common folk? One flash of that ring and you surely would have been moved to the front of the line."
Dvalin wanted to ask about the blonde's demolished armor and disheveled appearance but thought perhaps the Lord was dressed that way because he wanted to keep his identity hidden. Still, Lady Freyja's messenger had said the young Lord would be dressed in navy blue nobleman's clothing and gold trimmed armor gifted to him by the Goddess herself. He was about to ask when he was shocked by Naruto removing his ring of Lordship and tossing it on the table with disdain. "I'm no better than anyone else because of that damned ring. I never wanted it and I think it may be cursed. How much would it cost for me to get you to examine it and another item? Oh, and just call me Naruto."
Dvalin raised his eyebrows. 'A humble Lord?! What is this? I've never seen the like.' "Lord Naruto; you should use your proper title. I was told to expect you to arrive in a dark blue and gold raiment gifted to you by Goddess Freyja herself. You would have been brought directly to me. I actually told my men to bring you in as soon as they saw you."
"Those clothes are for a nobleman sir, not me." said Naruto. "If it wasn't for a Nokk trying to take that ring from me at a river I would have thought it to be as worthless as much as my title. Please tell me your fee, I do not wish to waste your time. You are obviously a very busy blacksmith. I am awed at the work of yours I have seen."
Dvalin looked over the ring and saw runes carved inside. There were other enchantments as well. He sensed nothing sinister though. "This ring is not cursed though it is enchanted. Since it would take awhile and I doubt you want it out of your sight that's all I can really say."
Naruto shrugged and said, "Then keep it overnight or a couple of days if you need to, I'm not worried about it."
The blacksmith's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "Was this not your Father's ring? Does it not mark you as the Lord of the people of Vestmar?"
Naruto's eyes turned hard as steel and flashed which made Dvalin shiver. "I never knew who my Father was until two weeks ago. That knowledge was denied to me since I was a bastard. As for the people of Vestmar, they are all dead. I am the Lord of no one and the Land of Vestmar is in the hands of Harold Fairhair I suppose….If I wasn't honor bound I'd destroy that ring myself."
Hinata was shocked. She knew Naruto resented his brother for what the man did but to disavow his Father and his people was unbelievable! "Lord Naruto, do not speak that way. It is disrespectful of the dead and the land you grew up in." she had a pleading rather than scolding tone in her voice that took Naruto off guard.
"I'm sorry Hinata." said Naruto lowering his head. "Still, I wish for you to keep it and check it over if you would Blacksmith Dvalin -for the appropriate fee of course."
Dvalin looked very perplexed and said, "Are you absolutely sure that you want me to keep hold of your family ring?"
Naruto nodded. "It is fine; you have an honest reputation."
The dwarf still looked uncomfortable with the idea but said, "Very well, as you wish Lord Naruto."
"Don't forget the arrow Lord Naruto." said Hinata.
Naruto said "Oh yeah, the Fates are concerned about this." He pulled the two halves of the arrow that struck him down out of his pack. "Can you look at this too? I'm trying to figure out who tried to kill me with it."
Dvalin cringed when the arrow was set on the table before him. The pure malice in its creation was unmistakable. "This thing is evil." said the dwarf. "Only a high level witch or warlock could have created this. It will take some time to unravel it."
"That's fine." said Naruto. "I wasn't expecting that to be easy since Lord Jiraiya said it was beyond him."
"Lord Jiraiya couldn't figure it out? That's almost unheard of." said Dvalin in surprise.
After talking some more about the situation; Hinata and Naruto bid the blacksmith goodnight and left Dvalin to his own thoughts. The unsettled blacksmith was further put off balance when a falcon flew in a few moments later and transformed into the glorious Lady Freyja herself. Dvalin got a nosebleed looking at her and remember the night of lust he shared with her so long ago….
"Good evening Dvalin." said Freyja. "It has been a long time."
"Yes it has Lady Freyja." said the dwarf as he gawked at her body.
Freyja said, "I have plans for Lord Naruto. I want you to create a weapon for him. I will pay you all the red gold you need for this task."
The disappointed blacksmith saw he wasn't going to get any action out of this but saw a massive bag of gold set on his table by Freyja. "I trust you can handle it Dvalin?"
"I could create several fine weapons for this amount." said Dvalin as he looked in the bag.
"I don't want fine weapons for Naruto. I want legendary ones." said the Goddess.
Dvalin's eyes goggled a bit. "Legendary? As in fit for the Gods? Are you sure my Lady?"
Freyja leaned over giving the dwarf a generous view of her amazing cleavage. "Yes my sweet dwarf. Create whatever he needs. And create something for the Valkyrie Hinata too; she has garnered my favor."
Looking at the glorious bosom in front of him Dvalin said, "Anything you desire my sweet Goddess."
She giggled and stood up. "Good; "I'll trust you to take care of them." Then she turned to leave.
Dvalin shook himself out of his lust filled stupor and said, "Wait Lady Freyja! What kind of weapons do they favor?"
Freyja shrugged and said with a sexy smile, "I haven't the faintest idea. You'll have to ask them." She then turned back into a falcon and flew away like a shot.
The blacksmith wanted to bang his head on the table. "The things I do for lust…" he bemoaned to himself.
…
Meanwhile Naruto and Hinata were having a bit of a…disagreement. "What do you mean you want to camp out in the fields?!" asked Hinata with her eyebrow twitching madly." There are plenty of nice inns here in Dvergr-heima where we could enjoy hot meals and more importantly a hot bath. We've been traveling for over a week and I will not bathe in another cold spring!" she said angrily.
"Inns cost money. Roughing it outdoors doesn't." said Naruto in a flat tone.
"You have plenty of gold from beating up that Nokk and mugging him!" the Valkyrie hissed as she poked Naruto in the chest with her index finger repeatedly. "What happened to you paying for everything honestly?
"Stop poking me!" growled Naruto. "If an enemy attacks me his life and his gold are forfeit; no questions asked!"
Hinata continued to poke Naruto. "And that Nokk had a lot of gold did he not?"
"Of course he had a lot of gold! He's a Nokk!" said Naruto getting irate.
Hinata stood back and smiled victoriously. She said, "Then it won't put a big dent in your savings to pay for a room at an inn now will it?"
Naruto face faulted. Getting back off the ground he said, "…Fine, fine! We'll stay at a damn inn. Happy?"
"Yes!" said Hinata as she grabbed Naruto's arm and dragged him towards a nice inn. Hinata was smiling happily and Naruto decided he would never understand womankind…
…
That evening Naruto and Hinata had a large meal at the inn and Naruto even made an attempt to mind his eating habits as Hinata had tried to teach him. He didn't do all that well but Hinata had to give him points for effort.
…
Naruto took a bath and promptly crashed in his bed. He wasn't used to sleeping on anything soft so he was tossing and turning a lot trying to decide if the floor wouldn't be preferable.
Hinata was enjoying the luxury of a good hot bath and she felt wonderful. The Valkyrie finally decided after a good soak that it was time to get out and dry herself.
The blonde was fidgeting when he saw Hinata enter the room and go over to her bed. Her ethereal body seemed to glow in the moonlight as it reflected off of her ivory skin and indigo hair….'Holy Hell she's naked!" screamed Naruto mentally with wide eyes. 'M-maybe she always sleeps in the nude…."
Hinata laid down on her side on top of the blankets and stretched her perfectly toned body erotically. Then she propped her head up on one arm and gave Naruto a sexy smile. Hinata said a sultry tone, "Mmmh….Lord Naruto, it's so cold lying over here all alone. Do you mind if I come over and join you so you can keep me warm with your body?" Naruto was sweating as he stared at her voluptuous figure as she glided from her bed to his. He still had the blanket pulled tightly over him as he gawked at her radiant form. She placed her delicate hands on his chest through the blanket and smiled. "Let me please you tonight my Lord. During our short time together I've fallen in love with you…." the Valkyrie said with her voice full of emotion.
The young Lord was hard as a rock as his eyes met her beautiful moonlight eyes. Then Naruto's eyes widened as she smiled invitingly at him…and he violently threw her off of him. Hinata crashed into the opposite wall and hit her head. She cried out in a different voice, "Why….why did you do that my Lord? I only wanted to please you."
Naruto was standing on the bed with is twin daggers in hand as Hinata came rushing out of the bathroom in her long nightshirt with her saber drawn. Naruto said, "Who are you imposter?"
Hinata grabbed the false Hinata by the throat and pinned her to the floor. The Valkyrie's saber seemed to be aflame with power as she hissed, "Show me your true form doppelganger before I slay you!"
The false Hinata suddenly change into a beautiful elven woman. "I….I'm one of Lady Freyja's attendants! Please don't kill me I beg of you!"
Hinata asked "Who are you and why are you here elf?"
"I'm Elska." said the frighten elf woman. "I saw Lord Naruto bathing in the river when he defeated that Nokk and I heard how sad he was. I became enamored with him and wanted to make him happy. I meant no harm."
'This is probably Lady Freyja's doing.' thought Hinata irritably. "Why did you take my form then seductress?" she growled.
Elska shivered at Hinata's anger. "You are the only woman that he trusts." Elska started tearing up and said, "I'm sorry! I really only wanted to please Lord Naruto."
Hinata withdrew her blade and released Elska. The elven woman quickly retreated back against the wall to make some space between her and Hinata. She looked over and saw Naruto's blue eyes flash with anger. He asked Hinata, "Are you going to kill her?"
The Valkyrie lowered her blade, "She is one of the elves I saw with Lady Freyja. I would not do to kill a Goddess' attendant."
Naruto looked at Elska and said "Be gone deceiver." Elska shed some tears before she became ethereal and vanished. Naruto sighed and sat down on his bed. "Gods, can't my life ever be normal?"
Hinata turned around and looked at Naruto. "She was perfectly in my image. How could you tell she was an imposter Naruto? Was it something she said?"
Naruto looked deeply into Hinata's moonlight eyes and said with a blush, "She wasn't as beautiful as you Hinata. No one has moonlight eyes like you do." 'I really like you Hinata….'
Hinata blushed hotly and said, "I-I had no idea." 'I really like you too Naruto….' "Well, I'm going to bed Naruto. Don't expect me to turn up naked in your bed." She was still blushing from head to toe when she laid down in her bed and faced away from Naruto. Then she said very quietly, "Good night my Lord."
Naruto settled back into his bed now that the adrenalin rush had worn off. He heard Hinata as he looked at her facing away with her indigo hair shining in the moonlight. He smiled softly and said. "Goodnight my Valkyrie."
No more words needed to be said…
POSTSCRIPT:
Well, as I said this kind of came out of the blue but it was a nice change of pace for me. I honestly have no idea if there will be a response to this (or if anyone even remembers I wrote it to begin with) but I guess we'll see. See you next time (whenever that is). Blue out. 1/11/16.
