Oh, and I changed my pen name. Why? I dunno...my other one was lame...so's this one, but whatever. Any better suggestions? Please? And review! Dont forget! I'm watching you...I know when you're sleeping...wait, what does that have to do with anything? I dunno...just review, ok?
"Five, no, SIX hours a day. No more, no less. Are you listening to me Hinata?"
Hinata snapped out of her daze. "Yes father."
The man before her gave her an appraising look. "Repeat it back to me."
"You are foolish, and inexperienced. You need to up your training to five, no, SIX hours a day. No more, no less."
"Good. Now, I will expect you to be diligent, and strengthen yourself in all fields. You need-"
Hinata tuned her father out, not wanting to hear how incapable she was. She had gotten out of the hospital about a week ago, and was fully recovered. Neji had taken a 'suicide' mission, and was supposed to have returned two days ago. The mission was to assassinate the Kazekage's adviser, who was an accomplished ninja, and had countless guards. It was considered suicide to except such a mission, but that never stopped Neji before.
It had been a little more than a week since the Godaime had sent the team of ANBU to help Anko, and they still hadn't been heard from. Hinata was worried beyond belief for Anko, and the team, but mostly, for Neji. He hadn't even come to see her before he left. "-do I make myself clear?"
She snapped back to reality once more. "Yes sir."
"Very well. I expect you to start your new training regimen immediately."
She nodded, and bowed to her father before she left the room. What was her new training regimen again? Huh. She'd have to ask her advisers later. Hinata walked to the training grounds, not because her father had told her to, but because she needed to blow off some stream.
She threw shuriken at the practice dummies, missing each by about a foot. Wow, she was really unfocused today. She was already panting, having been working for only 2 hours. She couldn't seem to focus. She was worried, and the Godaime said that she could go to help Neji, or at the cave. She had asked her, but she had said that she was still recovering, and didn't need to endanger herself.
Hinata threw another shuriken at the dummy, missing it again. She felt a hand encircle her waist, and another go down her arm to hold the hand holding another shuriken. "Straiten up. Slouching will throw off your aim." The strong hand guided hers and helped her throw the shuriken strait at the dummy, hitting the center of the bull's-eye on its chest.
"Much better." Neji whispered kissing her neck gently from behind.
"Neji." She breathed. "I thought you might not come back."
"I'll always come back."
"But you don't know that for sure!" He started to gently suck at the crock of her neck, causing her to shiver.
"No," His voice came muffled against her neck. "I don't know for sure, but you shouldn't worry about me. I can take care of myself."
"Well, I know that. But I just don't want to lose you."
He let out a little laugh. "Well, since I could die at any given moment, I say we make the most out of the time we have together." His hand traveled up her shirt, and started to tenderly knead her breast.
"Neji." She panted, but no longer from exerting herself during training. "We can't do this here, someone might see us."
"Then let them watch." His other hand played with the button on her pants, causing her to shiver again.
He was able to turn her around, and capture her lips in his own. He could taste the strong tea she had earlier in the day on her breath. She moaned in the back of her throat as he backed her up to a tree, his hand pressing against her breast.
She parted her lips, and he took the opportunity to deepen the kiss. Her lips were soft against his chapped ones, but neither seemed to notice, or care. Hinata's hand became entangled in his hair, pulling his lips harder against her own. Neji made a predatory growling noise in his chest as Hinata's small hands traveled across his chest, leaving a trail of goose bumps in their wake.
He wouldn't – or rather couldn't – ever tell anyone of the effect she had on him. He seemed to lose all control over his emotions, (something that rarely happened to the Hyuga prodigy,) and his instincts set in. His hard, well defined body – from countless hours of training – seemed to turn soft at her feather light touches. He had never had these feelings before. It was something completely alien to the usually impassive man. He felt vulnerable, and weak. A feeling that rarely affected him. But when it was with Hinata, he liked the feeling. All rational thought left him, and he was left with raw lust, and passion.
"Clothes off. Now." To Neji, it sounded like a command, but to Hinata, it sounded like a turn on.
In seconds, both were stripped of their clothing, with the help of the other's hands. Hinata could feel a warm, hard bulge pressing against her inner thigh. All Neji would have to do is adjust his angle slightly, and he would be inside of her.
The rough bark of the tree scrapped at Hinata's back, most likely taking off a layer of her skin. Neji lifted her up slightly, and she was able to wrap her legs around his hips, despite their upright position. With her legs no longer touching the ground, Hinata had to rely on Neji to keep her upright. He didn't seem to be having a problem though, for he just pushed her harder against the tree.
"Ready?" His voice came from against her neck.
"Yeah." She panted out.
Hinata felt him press into her slowly, gently streaking and filling her with his member. She was about to let out a breathy moan, but Neji's mouth came over hers, silencing her. "We have to be quiet." He whispered when his mouth left hers. "We don't want to attract unwanted attention."
She nodded silently, and let him take the lead, rolling his hips into hers. His mouth sucked at the cock of her neck, but he could feel when she was going to moan, and would quickly press his lips against hers to quite her.
Both were panting heavily, sweating off buckets from the quick pace they had adapted. Neji bit at her neck as the passion continued, leaving a trail of red rose petals down her skin. "Let….Go…." He growled out from against her neck. Hinata threw into her climax, and Neji quickly followed. He had to crash his lips into hers to keep them both from crying out bloody murder.
Hinata's body shock with a mind numbing orgasm. "Neji." She breathed out, clutching his hair tightly, holding back her moans of pleasure.
Hinata could feel Neji's labored breath against her neck as he tried to regain his composure. "Hinata." He breathed in her scent. This time – to his great relief – she smelled of lilac. Not lavender. Thank God.
They stood like that for a while, pushed up against the tree, each trying to catch their breath. Finally, to both their dismay, Neji slid himself out of her, and back away from the tree. He picked up her pile of clothing, and tossed it at her. When Hinata looked up again seconds later, Neji was already practically dressed. It took her a few more minutes, but she was able to dress quickly as well.
"I should head back." Hinata said timidly. "My father will be looking for me soon."
Neji pulled her in for one last mind-blowing, bruising kiss before he disappeared in a wisp of gray smoke. Hinata walked back to the Main House, desperate for a shower. She was covered in sweat, dirt, and really wanted a shower. She entered the main hall, and – of course – there was her father.
"Hinata! I see that you have been working hard."
Hinata blushed like mad until she realized that he meant that she had been working hard on her training. Yeah, some training that had been. Wow, she must really look like hell. "Yes father." Well, it wasn't totally a lie, right? "If you will excuse me, I'd very much so like to take a shower before the dinner."
"Of course. Get yourself cleaned up, and I will see you in the dinning hall within the hour." Hinata bowed to her father, and shot out of there like a bullet. Well, at least as bullet-like as she could be without looking suspicious.
When Hinata reached her room, she peeled off her dirty clothing, and evaluated herself in the mirror. It turns out the Neji had given her a nasty love bite. Lucky her it was below her neckline though so she wouldn't have to wear turtlenecks for the next week. Knowing Neji he intentionally made sure to not make it at a noticeable level. What a gentleman. Well, if you don't count the whole giving-her-a-love-bit thing, then it was gentlemanly. I guess.
She showered, enjoying to hot water rolling over her skin. When she got out, she had a spare minute before dinner, so she put cream across her body. The sweet lilac smell calmed her, and made her skin velvety soft. She dressed, and made her way to the dinning hall.
She was a few minutes early for dinner, but the large room was already buzzing with people. Her father already sat at the head of the long table, and she took the seat to the right of him. "So nice to see you again Hinata-sama." A voice said from behind her, and she turned and saw that it was Neji. He bowed to her, a smirk written clearly across his face. She knew the almost-smile was only meant for her, and made her blush.
"Thank you Neji. Please, sit down for dinner."
"Very well." He said nonchalantly, and took the seat next to her.
The dinner was served in silence. Her father seemed to be eyeing her suspiciously, but Hinata tried her hardest to ignore him. "Hinata." He said suddenly. "How is your training coming?" It seemed like an innocent enough question, but Hinata could see something else in his eyes that said differently. Neji could see it to.
"Fine father." Hinata replied. She was definitely getting antsy. Something was going on.
"I actually have something I would like to discuss with you. Would you mind stopping by my office after dinner?"
This is bad. Very bad. "Of course not father. I'll stop by first thing after the meal is finished."
She stole a glance at Neji when her father wasn't looking. His eyes were dancing with something that she could only describe as protectiveness and extreme dislike toward her father. His eyes locked onto hers, and she could almost hear him saying. 'Be careful.'
