Naruto strolls into class, twenty minutes early, like every other day. The difference today was that his secret lover was already in the room.

"What a way to start the week! I may get a good ten minutes alone with you." He sits at the closest desk for now. "How was your weekend, Ms. Hyuuga? Do anything special?" His smile brightens the room.

"No, Naruto, I just cooked some."

"Heh, all weekend?"

"Well, a great ramen can take some time."

"Ramen!?" Naruto excitedly arches his eyebrows.

Hinata giggles at her student's reaction, "Yes. Do you like ramen, Naruto?"

"Ms. Hyuuga...It's my second favorite thing to eat."

"Oh? What's your favorite?" She innocently questions.

A devious grin spreads on the blonde's face. He sits back and licks his lips.

"Naruto!" Hinata covers her smiling mouth and looks towards the open door. Her blushing cheeks peek out. "You can't do that to me here!" She quietly admonishes him.

"I'm sorry but you walked right into that." He laughs.

Her blush finally subsides. "What about you, Naruto? What did you do this weekend?"

"I plotted." He answers matter-of-factly with a grin.

Hinata tries to look serious, "Plotted...And what exactly is it that you are plotting?"

"Couple of things, actually. First, I need to convince my favorite teacher to tutor me in history."

"Oh, Mr. Umino will be very honored to hear that he's your favorite teacher." She smiles as brightly as her student.

Naruto makes a sour face causing Hinata to laugh out loud. The sound erased his look. His devilish grin returns, "Your laugh is almost as pleasant as your other sounds."

She ignores his comment on the surface. "Don't you think your history teacher should tutor you in history?"

"What fun would that be?"

"It's not supposed to be fun, Naruto." She playfully shakes her head at his obstinance. "So, what else were you plotting?"

"This one's more difficult. I'm trying to figure out how to get this beauty to agree to go to prom with me. I may have to settle on just a dance and then enjoy her afterwards."

With her chin in her palm, Hinata returns his smile.

"The last thing...Well, I was trying to figure out how to tell her about a stupid bet I made."

Hinata squints her eyes in trepidation.

"Don't look at me like that, it's not terrible. At least I hope you don't think so."

"Tell me."

Her no-nonsense command made him hesitate. "I told Jiraiya I'd..." He looks at the door.

"Don't...I get it." She sounded pissed.

"When do you have until?"

"Friday."

Hinata clasps her hands together on the desk. "What's the wager?"

"I lose, I work for free for a month at Icha Icha."

"And if you win?"

"I work the month for time and a half pay, the guys get to go to the club for one night and I tear your contract up in June with no loss to you."

"And you think that last stipulation will make me want to help you win your bet?" Her words held a smidge of disdain.

"No. I plan on losing the bet, Hin-...Ms. Hyuuga."

Her eyebrows furrow in confusion. "What?"

"I told you, it's not about bagging the hot teacher. It's not about bragging to my friends or my godfather. I made a stupid bet because he mocked me. I apologize for that. It's something I'm working on changing about myself."

Hinata tries to read his expression to see if there's any deception in his words. "So, if you plan on losing the bet, why tell me?"

"Because relationships that start with secrets can't last." She cocks her eyebrow at his presumptuousness. His devious grin tells Hinata to brace herself. "So, Ms. Hyuuga, stop throwing yourself at me at because it isn't going to work!"

The prim and proper educator can't hold a straight face and snorts. Her eyes go wide as her hand slaps over her mouth.

"Ha! That was priceless!" She has the same description for his smile. Naruto gets serious again, "Are you upset with me?" His expression now conveying worry.

She thinks about it for a moment then shakes her head, no. Naruto looks relieved. A moment later she comments, "It's too bad, really. I had planned on jumping you Friday. I guess that'll have to be put off."

The blonde is about to comment when a couple of students enter the room. He chuckles at the timing. He stands to go to his own seat, "And the tutoring?"

"We'll see what we can work out."

He's walking backwards down the aisle. "Thank you, Ms. Hyuuga! You're a lifesaver! If there's anything, anything, I can do for you, just name it!" The boisterous young man causes a scene with his big, sexy smile. He licks his lips. Hinata nonchalantly looks down to her planner and shoos him to his seat.

"Anything, Dobe?" Sasuke is through the door first with a knowing smirk.

Naruto's smile goes to his friend, "Ha! You know me, Teme! I'm always in to lend someone a hand or two."

"Yeah, the thing is, your hands are usually accompanied by your mouth!" Sasuke, with his back to his teacher, grins at the double meaning.

Naruto smirks and his eyes flash to Hinata. He has to suppress the laugh. She's hunched over the deep bottom drawer of her desk looking for nothing. Her cheeks a little redder than she'd like and the furrow in her brow says she's having a hard time finding that nothing that is lost in the deep bottom drawer. Still smiling, Naruto sits as Sasuke turns and sees their teacher. His grin returns with a, "Heh." He leans over for only his happy-go-lucky friend to hear, "I guess she understood the joke, too.

Naruto releases a low chuckle, "Heh...you know me."

"What joke?" Kiba barks.

Their pony-tailed friend yawns a complaint at their loud comrade. "Oi, there's a noise ordinance before 8am."

"I can go for a good joke!" Chouji comments

"Good morning, class..."

"Why am I here, Kid? I've got work to do."

Naruto squints at the man who often flaked on work when there was a beautiful woman around.

"I told you already, ya old perv!"

"Yeah but...I shouldn't have to help you win the bet."

"This isn't about the bet. I'll take the loss on the bet."

"Huh?"

"I..." a pink tint colors Naruto's face, "I just figured, the last parent-teacher conference is at 9pm. We show up late, we talk parent-teacher stuff and how great I'm doing then you leave and I get a few minutes with her."

"Huh?"

"You had your creepy, skinny friend try to rob Granny so you could come to her rescue just to get her attention. I say my plan is pretty tame by your standards."

"You dragged me here and you aren't even going to try to fuck her?!" Jiraiya's annoyance is louder than his words.

"It's not about that.." Naruto's mouth quirks up in one corner. "Oh, who am I kidding? Of course I'm gonna try to fuck her but I'm okay if it doesn't happen. Ya know?"

"Yeah. I know, Kid."

"Well, have a good night." The last two parents exit the classroom.

"You both as well." Her angelic voice always tickles his ear when she first speaks.

Naruto stands as the couple is about to pass. "Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Nara." He puts his hand out to Shikamaru's father and it's received right away.

"How are you doing, Naruto? Haven't seen you by the house in a while."

"I'm good. I haven't really had time. I've got a couple extra classes. I'm planning on graduating with my class." Jiraiya cocks his head at the young blonde.

"Keep up the good work, son. How's everything, Jiraiya?"

"Same old, same old."

"Well, you're energy is welcome anytime, Naruto. It seems to rub off on my son when you're around. Come by soon for a nice home-cooked meal and you can bring your godfather if he promises to not bring Shikaku anymore early releases."

Her husband flushes red.

Naruto chuckles, "I'll do that, Mr. Nara, Mrs. Nara. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Jiraiya smiles at the couple. He looks to his godson, "You know, she acts all high and mighty but she's-"

"STOP!..." Naruto waves his hands in protest. "Please, don't go where I think you're going to go."

"I don't believe your were signed up for a parent-teacher conference, Naruto."

Hearing Hinata's angelic voice makes his belly flip. He turns her way and stares.

Her long hair is flowing down around her. She's wearing a fitted turtle-neck that Naruto swears is the same shade of blue as his eyes, tucked into black jeans that hug her just right. Black boots cover her jeans up to her knee.

Jiraiya slaps Naruto in the back of his head, "Stop ogling her! He walks past the awe-struck teen and continues, "Let's get this show on the road!" He walks past Hinata and into the room.

Naruto moves towards the dark-haired beauty chuckling and rubbing where the slap landed on the back of his head. "Sorry...not about the staring. I could stare at you for hours and I won't apologize for that. Sorry, about coming without an appointment. He lowers his voice. I knew you were here and I wanted to see you. Is that okay?" He wants to grab her so badly that he keeps his distance and shoves his hands in his pockets.

She smiles and moves to the side, "Come in, Naruto."

He smiles back, "Yes, Ms. Hyuuga." He walks past her and into the classroom. Hinata closes the door behind her.

Jiraiya, already seated looks up to Naruto, "Oi! How come you didn't tell me about the extra classes? You're really gonna graduate on time?"

"I don't know. I didn't wanna disappoint you if it didn't work out." He shrugs and sits next to Jiraiya.

"That makes me feel bad, Kid. Even if it didn't work out you wouldn't have disappointed me. Don't do that again...I'm real proud of you." He ruffles Naruto's hair.

"Okay, okay. Don't be weird."

Hinata giggles at the two men in front of her drawing her attention. She sitting up with her elbows on the desk. Her hands clasped under her chin as she witnesses the sweet conversation.

Jiraiya is still smiling, "He's doing well?"

She nods, "He is. Very well, actually."

He squints suspiciously, "All on his own merit?"

"Completely his own merit."

"I told you she was a really good teacher." Naruto beams.

"Yeah, well, it's kinda hard to believe you're able to focus on anything with her in the room. We good here?"

"Go, perv."

"Goodnight. See ya tomorrow." Jiraiya speedily exits, shutting the door, before Hinata can respond goodnight.

Naruto pulls his chair up next to her desk and places his arm on it. He extends it towards her and his hand nears her resting elbow.

"I enjoyed seeing those interactions."

He looks at her with confusion.

"You and Mr. and Mrs. Nara and then you and Jiraiya."

"Oh...and?" He reaches his finger out, fetching the ends of a long lock of hair that was resting on the desk. He wraps it around his finger.

"Well, you seem very comfortable no matter who you interact with. Mr. and Mrs. Nara are pretty prominent people. Your godfather is...quirky!" He smiles knowing she probably had a different description in mind. "I've seen you interact with students from all different cliques and with teachers that range from easy going to the most demanding and you don't change. You act the same with everyone and you can see they enjoy your company. It's very telling to the type of man you are."

"Wow, Ms. Hyuuga..." He scrunches his face, "How long have you been stalking me?"

"Oh, my..." She covers her reddening face."

Naruto laughs, "I'm sorry. Please don't cover up. We don't have long and I want to see your face. I'm sorry. I won't tease you again."

Hinata slowly drops her hands and is met with his smile. "Thank you. That's better." He exhales, "Now, where were we? Oh, yeah. You were telling me how cool everyone thinks I am." He comments in a joking tone and then looks into his lover's opal eyes, "Do you think I'm cool, Hinata?" His hair-wrapped finger extends and rubs her arm.

She bites her lip and shakes her head. "No, Naruto. You are the total opposite of cool. I told you...you make me burn. I feel feverish around you."

Naruto licks his lips and takes in a deep breath. He exhales then says with a smile, "I'm going to leave now while you're still safe." He releases her hair and stands, "Oh, I just wanted you to know that I'll be at the club tomorrow night to see your show but I don't want a private dance."

Hinata smiles, "Oh? Are you bored of me already?"

"I'll never be bored of you. I just...not tomorrow. I told you I'm taking the loss on the bet and I don't want you distracting me." He smiles before handing her a piece of paper. "It's my phone number. No pressure. Whenever you're ready. I'll see you tomorrow morning, Hinata. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Naruto." He leaves the room and Hinata's head falls to the desk. She wonders if he regrets not kissing her as much as she does.

XXX

Naruto rises from the table. Hinata's show will be starting in a few minutes.

Jiraiya looks at his wrist in jest as if checking the time.

Naruto chuckles, "Yeah, I know."

"Your two weeks are up, Kid."

"I told you last night that I was taking the loss."

"I'm kinda surprised. I never thought you'd give up on your mission."

"I haven't given up, Perv! I'm just more interested in the long game." The younger man acknowledges.

"Smart man...Let the little smart-ass bastard know that he was wrong! Haha! I'll see ya at work tomorrow!"

"Yeah, yeah."

He walks towards the expected stage just in time. The lights go out and a few seconds later a slow and low pitch beat begins from a couple of instruments accompanied by snaps of fingers. The spotlight is on Hinata's back. With one hand on her hip the other snaps in time with the music. Her long, black fishnet covered legs grab his attention first but it's quickly taken away as her hips and legs start popping to the bass strums along with her feet and legs. She looks to be wearing a short, black trench coat. The beat moves up to her shoulders as they and her arms join in on the jazzy beat. A fedora covers her head and a low side ponytail directs her hair forward, over her shoulder. Her waist starts writhing into the movements of her extremities and torso when smoky vocals being.

'Never know how much I love you

Never know how much I care'

Hinata's begins turning with each beat.

'When you put your arms around me

I get a fever that's so hard to bear'

Her hat tilted low to one side shadows her -face down to the top of her blood red lips. Her short coat held closed with a knotted belt.

'You give me fever'

Hinata seductively starts untying the belt and stops half way through and a blood red-nailed finger goes to her mouth.

'When you kiss me'

She slides down pulling her lower lip away from her top and continues down her throat.

'Fever when you hold me tight

Fever!

In the mornin'

A fever all through the night'

Hinata's movements are so smooth and so in sync with the music that it looks like she's causing the beat. Listening to the song, watching her body make music along with the loud bass has Naruto's cock feeling tickled. It didn't help that the loose belt was coming undone and he got a glimpse of what was to come.

'Sun lights up the day time'

Hinata removes the fedora.

'Moon lights up the night

I light up when you call my name'

Her bright eyes go down to Naruto's lust-filled blue.

'And you know I'm gonna treat you right'

She pulls her coat off, dropping it on top of her hat.

"Shiiiit..."

Hinata's fishnet stockings end at her upper thigh and are connected by straps to a garter belt. On top she wears a long-sleeve, off the shoulder fishnet crop top. The small holes of the fishnet just big enough for Hinata's nipples to pop through. Her thong matches the blood red of her lips and nails.

'You give me fever

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever!

In the mornin'

A fever all through the night'

Her movements were so smooth and sultry. Her twists and turns, arches and bows, all had Naruto aching for the moment she'd be in his bed.

'Everybody's got the fever

That is somethin' you all know

Fever isn't such a new thing

Fever started long ago'

He curses himself for ever telling her not tonight.

'Romeo loved Juliet

Juliet she felt the same

When he put his arms around her

He said, "Julie baby, you're my flame"'

Laying on her back with her profile to Naruto, she lifts a leg straight up. Hinata hands go to the back of her thigh and she unclips the garter. She moves to the front and frees the second clasp. Her leg drops back down and the other leg comes up so she can repeat the previous action.

'Thou giveth fever

When we kisseth

Fever with thy flaming youth

Fever!

I'm on fire

Fever yeah, I burn forsooth'

With her feet planted, she lifts her ass off of the floor. A little higher with each beat. As she gyrates her hips she lowers her thong. Once they're off, she rolls onto her belly then rises to her knees. She's upright at the edge of the stage, facing forward and squeezing her fishnet covered tits. While still on her knees Hinata lays all the way back until her shoulders are on the floor. She pinches her nipples and pulls upwards, jiggling her tits. Naruto doesn't know where to look; at her pinching, pulling and jiggling or down to her perfectly framed clit and pussy thanks to Hinata's flexible positioning.

Out of the corner of his eye, Naruto sees a hand reaching towards the unknowing beauty's alluring pussy. The protective teen, quickly reaches out, snatching the guy's wrist. He pulls his arm so far back that the shocked man and Naruto are facing each other.

The blonde makes sure he's heard, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

"Who the hell are you!?" The guy is only a few years older than Naruto and by the smell of it, many drinks ahead, as well.

Hinata notices what's happening and sits up. She looks towards Jiraiya's table to see if he's there.

"This your first time in a place like this?! You don't put your hands on the ladies!"

"Ladies?! Ha! Hahaha! Didn't you see that wet pussy?! Lady my ass! Haha! Listen let's watch the show and you just mind your own business." The rude patron slaps Naruto on the shoulder.

Naruto squints with furrowed brows. "If an asshole is direspecting any" He swirls his finger around the room, "of the girls here, I make it my business."

"Go fuck yourself, blondie!" The obnoxiously drunk man swings a fist towards Naruto. The teen reacts immediately, swatting the arm coming his way causing a redirection and ending with a slap to his face. The guys stumbles a bit before catching his balance. He looks at a grinning Naruto and quickly tries another punch. It's deflected again but this time the stinging slap was to the side of his neck.

The shocked patron puts his hand to the burning sensation before trying again as Jiraiya and a bouncer stop a few feet away. The club owner puts his arm out halting his employee and says with a smile, "Let's give him a couple more seconds." The bouncer grins and looks on.

After a few more tries, the asshole in laying on his back breathing heavy, exhausted from swinging and missing so many times. His face and neck are bright red from Naruto's heavy hands.

The bouncer helps the guy up and helps him find the exit as Jiraiya walks over close to Naruto. He grabs him at the nape of the neck. "Glad to see all the studying hasn't caused you to lose any of your training." He gives his godson a playful 'good job' slap on his cheek, "You looked good and way to keep your control. I'm impressed."

Naruto shakes his head with a chuckle, "Thanks. Did you even plan on stepping in?"

"What for? Then someone gets hurt and that becomes an issue. I gotta do a report. I figured you'd be fine."

"Oh, you figured..." Naruto turns to the stage. Hinata is just sitting there. Her legs are closed and her hands are crossed over her breasts as if they weren't on display a minute or two ago.

He walks in her direction. Her song had finished. When he reaches the railing he leans in a bit, "Sorry."

"Naruto, don't apologize. I'm not sure what happened to bring that on but I feel like I should be thanking you and..." Her cheeks gain color, "...you were amazing. How did-"

"Why don't you go get changed. I'm going to wait for you at the dancer's entrance and walk you to your car. Okay?"

She nods and heads back stage.

Naruto looks to Jiraiya. "I'm still gonna get her contract one way or another."

"Yeah, yeah. Don't forget you have work tomorrow!" The smiling white-haired man walks away.

Naruto grabs his jacket from the reserved table and heads out of the club. He circles the building and waits at the employee's entrance. Leaning against the brick wall with his hands stuffed in his pockets, Naruto grumbles thinking about how his weekly dance was abruptly interrupted. He's brought out of his thoughts when the door opens. One of the giant bouncers walk out with Hinata following. The blonde stands up straight and looks to the security, "I got her from here." The guard looks towards the dancer and she nods, bashfully. Once the door is closed, Naruto looks to Hinata and smiles at her appearance. Her hair is still in it's low, side ponytail over her left shoulder. She's wearing pale lavendar sweatpants and hoodie with a pair of white sneakers.

"You're so beautiful."

Hinata blushes, "I'm in sweats, Naruto."

"Exactly...and still so beautiful." He walks to her side and puts his arm out. She thinks about it for a few extra seconds before she hooks her arm through his and they slowly stroll towards the parking lot.

"I heard what he was about to do. You didn't have to do that, although...I'm glad you did." She looks up to Naruto who hadn't taken his eyes off of her.

"No one is putting their hands on you. If he were reaching for something as innocent as your elbow he would've met the same fate. I'm just pissed he ruined my weekly entertainment." He chuckles, "That was so fuckin' hot. You had me regretting my decision for a private dance. I actually should thank the asshole." He smiles.

Hinata giggles dropping her face to the gravel. Her movements are halted when Naruto stops walking. She turns to him with a questioning gaze.

"Hinata..." His eyes fall, following the flow of hair from her nape; passed the collar of her neck where his mouth molds perfectly; over her full breast then hanging from the spot over her covered nipple. Naruto's hand rises and gently takes the end of her hair between his thumb, fore- and middle fingers. "So, do you still see me as just a student or customer?"

She takes a step closer, stepping into his line of sight and smiles as her hand cups his jawline, "I...I see you as my lover, Naruto."

His lips curve into a smile and his hand covers hers. "And can you see that turn into something more?"

She giggles, "Are you asking if I could see myself as your girlfriend?"

"No. I'm asking if you could see yourself as my woman." He releases her hair and closes the gap between them completely. Naruto leans down and presses his lips to hers. "I desire you in every sense of the word, not just in my bed." He kisses her again but this time her lips press against his with equal fervor.

Their lips separate. While still looking into each other's eyes, Hinata bites her lip then says, "There's a 24-hour diner nearby, would you want to go and talk for a bit?"

He smiles, "I'd love that."

They start walking towards the cars and Hinata leads him to hers.

Naruto laughs, "Is this what you drive?! It's like a toy! Hahaha!"

Hinata looks towards her pale yellow Mini and giggles at his comment. "It's little like me!"

"No, it fits little people like you. He grabs her hand, "C'mon. He pulls her in another direction. "I can't fit in that, my knees will be in my throat!"

Giggling again, Hinata let's the strong, tall blonde lead her away.

Naruto pulls his phone out and makes a call. "Yeah, I didn't want you to worry if you or anyone saw Hinata's car in the lot. She'll get it later." He listens for a couple of seconds then raises his voice, "I know the deadline passed you old perv!" He hangs up before giving his mentor a chance to respond. Hinata giggles at the one-sided conversation. He takes his keys from his pocket and hits the alarm. Her eyes go towards the sound and the blinking lights.

She starts to laughs and Naruto looks in her direction, "What?!"

Giggling, she takes in the large, bright orange, four-door pickup truck. "My car is little like me and your truck is big, loud and strong like you!"

"Heh! I guess it is." He walks her to the passenger side and opens the door. "Do you need me to lift you up into it?" He smiles down at her.

She scrunches her smiling face at his teasing, "No...I can handle big, loud and strong." She sticks her tongue out at him and turns away, quickly climbing up into the truck.

He grins at her response and shuts her door once she is settled in her seat.

The blonde slides into the driver's seat and says, "Next time you stick your tongue out at me I take that as an invitation." He starts the truck. "Where to?"

Hinata smirks at his promise, "Just down the road about a mile and a half. It's on the left."

They buckle up and drive to their destination. Once parked at the diner, Naruto turns towards Hinata and pulls her hood onto her head. She looks at him quizzically.

"I don't want anyone figuring out your secret identity and make things difficult for you."

She smiles as she tucks her ponytail into her hoodie. "Thank you, Naruto."

"Don't thank me. I'd like nothing more than to flaunt you around on my arm but that'll have to wait." He exits the truck and rounds the front to open her door.

Taking his outstretched hand, Hinata exits the vehicle and says, "You're very gentlemanly for teenager."

"Jiraiya may be a perv but he made sure to drill into me how to treat a lady. His books may be full of raunchy sex, but they always center around a loving couple."

They walk into the diner and Naruto asks if they could be seated in the back.

Once comfortable, Hinata quietly asks while looking at her menu, "Do you really see me as a lady? I mean...my dances are...?" She stops when the waitress approaches.

"Hello, what can I get for you two?"

Naruto tilts his chin towards Hinata, signaling her to order.

"I'll take a cup of tea and a cinnamon roll."

The waitress looks to the blonde. "And for you?"

"I'll have the same."

The waitress takes the menus and leaves.

Naruto adds smiling, "I wanna see what this cinnamon roll addiction is all about." He reaches across the table and runs a finger across Hinata's knuckles. "And yes, Hinata, I see you as a lady. I don't care that you dance at Icha Icha." He hesitates then asks, "But I do wonder. Why do you dance?"

A light blush invades her cheeks. "I...well..."

"I won't judge you, Hinata."

She gives him a small smile, "I haven't been with too many men and like you've already picked up on...I mean...I have had..." She lowers her voice, "orgasms." Naruto smirks at her modesty. "Well, I had thought they were. I realized that I did a better job then anyone else." A blush covers her face before her hands have a chance to. "I can't believe I just spoke about masturbating." He's about to comment but seeing how bashful she's being he doesn't want her to stop talking. Hinata uncovers her face and looks at the interested blonde. She takes a breath and continues, "The majority of the men usually finish before I've started. I'm a very sexual person and I really enjoy turning a man on. The exhibitionism of dancing and stripping allows me to stimulate myself and others without the disappointment of not being satisfied. Seeing the men wanting more when my show is over almost feels a little bit like retribution." She giggles, "Does that make any sense?"

"Yes, completely." The waitress returns with their orders.

Hinata's eyes light up, "The cinnamon rolls here are really good."

He smiles at her giddiness. "I gotta know how someone who blushes so easily and whispers naughty words is able to do what you do?"

She gives a bashful shrug. "I think it's because when I'm turned on I don't really focus on anything else."

"So, you're turned on prior to getting on the stage?" Naruto cocks and eyebrow.

Hinata flushes realizing she said too much and he figured it out.

Smiling at her reddening color, he sings, "Hi-na-taaa, do you play with yourself before your shows?"

She covers her eyes and then slides her hand down to cover her unstoppable smile. She has no response.

His smile grows and her eyes go wide. She can read his mind through his bright blue ones and knows his next question, "Hinata..." she covers her eyes along with her mouth, his voice is low, "...did you think about me to help get your pussy wet?"

From behind her hands, Naruto hears a faint, "Oh, my goodness."

"Awww, don't be shy, Hinata. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I can't even count how many times I jerked off to the image of you in my head since September."

She glares from between her fingers, "It's not the same!...And if it was once a day you can count how many."

He laughs, "Once a day!? Hinata! You had me like I was 13 years old again. Every time you came to mind, which was a lot, I would get a hard-on and if I was alone at home I sure wasn't going to waste it." They both laugh at his silliness.

"What about your music? Do your choices have meaning?"

"Obviously. I usually go with something you can see yourself having sex to. They're even easier to pick when you want to convey a message."

"Like Hot for Teacher?" Naruto smiles, "I thought I was going to swallow my tongue when the music started." They both laugh at his reaction.

"Yes, exactly like Hot for Teacher. When I chose Candyshop it was because I wanted your mouth on me."

Naruto cuts in, "And don't forget yours on me. I know you wanted that." He smiles at her face flushing again.

Hinata shyly covers her cheeks before taking a deep breath, dropping her hands and answering, "Yes, Naruto, I wanted you in my mouth ."

Lifting his cup, he adds, "There you go! That wasn't so hard, was it? Although just hearing you say it gets me hot!" He takes a sip of his hot tea with a smirk.

She rolls her eyes with a smile and continues, "And with Fever...I told you that you make me feel like I'm on fire."

Naruto leans back, grinning, "Okay, I think we needed to change the direction of this conversation like five minutes ago."

Hinata tears a piece of her dessert and pops it into her mouth. Naruto follows suit and smiles, "This is really good." She nods in agreement.

"So...Jiraiya is your guardian?"

He exhales, "He is. My parents were killed on the way home from the hospital a couple days after I was born. People say it was a miracle that I survived."

Hinata reaches his hand out and grasps his. "I'm sorry, Naruto. You don't have to-"

"Nah. It's all good. I want you to know all about me." He smiles. "So, I'm going to tell you something that very few people know. The Perv use to work for the government. He was in the field when it happened and he couldn't leave his mission. He couldn't even have any contact with me so I spent the first ten years of my life not knowing there was someone out there that had a connection to my life. The story actually goes much deeper, including the death of my parents, and although I want you to know everything, it's a gloomy story for another time."

"Okay, Naruto...Did Jiraiya teach you how to fight?"

"He did, among other things. I was this small, hot-headed kid. I was strong, too and always ready for a fight. Constantly flying off the rails but still getting my ass kicked." He laughs, "Never stopped me from going another round. Actually, ha! Sasuke was the perpetrator of a few of those ass whoopings.

Hinata tilts her head. Her mixed facial expression of furrowed brows and a small smile tell Naruto that he's keeping her interest and knows that she is looking for more information. "Sasuke's story is worse than mine. In a way, I had the good fortune of not knowing my parents. He unfortunately had everything taken away from him when he was seven. But, that's another long, dark story that would take multiple cinnamon buns to retell."

Hinata covers the laugh coming from her food-filled mouth. Naruto smiles at the sights and sounds. "God, you're so precious." He takes a big bite into the roll, chews a few times and swallows. "By the time Jiraiya came into my life, I wasn't getting my ass kicked as much. He started training me. I'd practice moves for hours while he just talked. Afterwards, I would be too exhausted to cause any trouble. It went on for a couple of years like that. I got so eager to train that the old man would use it against me to proofread his books. But all the while he wasn't just molding my body, he was sculpting my mind. Then when I was about fifteen he taught me about meditation and because of it I've turned a lot of things about me around for the better."

Hinata smiles, "He really is quite an interesting man."

"Heh, you can say that again. Not to mention that old man can still put me on my ass!" Naruto looks to her and then down to her empty plate. "Either you really like these cinnamon rolls or I've been talking too much."

Hinata looks down then blushes. She returns her eyes to his, "I really like them...and you talking."

"I'll get you another one." He raises his hand to signal the waitress but she reaches and stops his action.

"That's okay, Naruto."

"I'll get one too if you're being shy." He grins.

"Too many cinnamon rolls may not affect your ass but I can't say the same."

"Then your diet must consist of them because that ass...Mmm!"

Hinata covers her face, "Naruto!"

"Haha! I'm sorry!" She's fighting against his pulls then finally waivers. She's beat red.

"That's not nice. You don't comment on a woman's weight." She's fighting a smile.

"Oh, I wasn't commenting on your weight, just your perfectly fat ass."

"Oh, my god!" She covers up again.

"Okay, okay...What about you, Hinata? Why a teacher? You seem like you should be a doctor not trying to teach unappreciative and hormonal teens."

She slowly uncovers her face and playfully glares at the teen before smiling and answering his question.

"If it were up to my father I wouldn't be and I would be a doctor."

"Sorry if I touched a sore subject."

"Don't be silly. From the sound of it it doesn't compare to yours.

My father was abusive. Not physically but emotionally. I never got acknowledgment for any of my accomplishments but I was berated for my failures. If I didn't have the highest score, I failed. If I didn't score the lead at a recital, I failed. If there was a tad too much pepper in our supper, I failed. In his eyes, I could do not right. I left school with a teaching degree and he disowned me." She smiles at Naruto's serious face. "I've been on my own for a lot less time than you have." She reaches over and smooths the scrunched lines between his eyes.

"It's weird..." He takes her hand in his and presses a kiss to her fingertips. Dropping them down to the table, he continues, "You calm me and excite me at the same time. Heh! You're like meditation and a good fight all rolled up into one. Do you enjoy it...teaching?"

"I do! I'd really like to teach younger children. I'm waiting for an opening at a school I'm interested in."

"I don't know if I could be around a bunch of whiny, persistent, nosy brats all day."

Her smile widens, "Thanks to you, I'm ready for it!" She pumps her fist.

His face reddens with a big smile, "Hinata!" he laughs, "I'm not whiny!" He can't hold in his laughter after hearing her infectious one.

She takes a sip of tea and starts, "Not all parents are like my father but all children need someone in their life to encourage and acknowlege them. To help turn their failure's into something positive. I just want to be able to share my knowledge with the children along with some love that they may be missing at home."

"That's beautiful, Hinata..." His soft smile turns to a smirk, "Wait a minute! How many students have done this for besides me?!"

"Ha!" She laughs out loud at Naruto's silliness.

"Your laugh..." He swallows his words. Does he tell her how her sounds hit him between the legs? How badly he wants to give his dick a squeeze? Or does he tell her the other place it hits him? Her sweet music makes his chest tight. Like a punch to his solar plexus, his breath catches and he has to remember to breathe. No, too soon for that. "Your laugh just kills me."

After they sit and talk for a little while longer, Naruto finally suggests, "Not that I want to but are you ready for me to take you back to your car?"

Hinata smiles softly, "I think that's a good idea, Naruto."

"It's really not but Jiraiya's slave labor starts tomorrow." He drops money on the table to cover their orders and a tip. He puts his hand out to help her from her chair.

"When will you be working?" They exit the diner, he links her arm around his and walk through the parking lot.

"I'll be in during the day to get the lay of the land and to help set up. I'm dreading the thought of cleaning the private rooms." He makes a disgusted face.

"It probably won't be that bad. I don't think what we've done in those rooms are really allowed."

Naruto laughs, "I'm pretty sure we are not the only ones to break that rule."

"Oh? You know from experience?"

"Heh. No, but I've been given the offer once or twice, over the years."

Jokingly, Hinata looks at him with disbelief. "Once or twice?"

He smirks, "More or less."

"And you never took anyone up on it?"

"Nope...never had a private dance before. Wait a minute! Does that not really happen and you just took advantage of me?!?!" He clutches the front of his jacket and offendedly exclaims, "Miss Hyuuga! I'm appalled!

She hides her embarrassment against his arm.

"So, can you see hanging out with me again in the near future?" He stops at the passenger door of his truck and faces the woman he yearns for. "I mean, like with dinner instead of dessert. Although, to be honest with you, I'm not opposed to it being breakfast."

Hinata bites her lip and then states, "There's something in that perverted little smirk that just..." She shakes her head, trying to stop the flooding of how good she knows he will make her feel. Of that she has no doubt. He knows how to make her cream but the thought of her pussy and his perfect dick connecting makes her wet. That's what's in that smirk!

His smile grows when she doesn't finish her statement and flushes not due to shyness but from arousal. "I'll take it as a yes for dinner. We'll drive way out of Konoha, give us a chance to talk some more."

She stares for a few seconds into his smiling face, "To answer your original question, I may be able to see us hanging out again."

With that, Naruto, smiling a little bigger, chirps his alarm and opens her door. "I'll take that."

Hinata climbs into the truck and settles in. Naruto shuts her door. Upon entering the driver's side, he states, "I really enjoyed our time together, Hinata."

"I did as well, Naruto."

"I don't want to spoil the mood but...Sasuke knows."

"Naruto..." Her voice was low and sounded worried.

"I didn't tell him. I promise. The guy's a genius. He figured it out on his own."

"So, he asked you and you admitted to it?"

Naruto looks away.

"Naruto."

"He came to the club."

Hinata's hands cover her face. "Oh, my god! Not one, but two of my students have seen me like that! This is so bad!"

"It's not..."

She looks at him with a snear, "It's not?! They're all going to find out! What am I going to do?!?!"

"Hinata..." He reaches over and takes her hand, "The only thing I'm pissed about is that he saw you in a way that no one but me should see. Other than that, I have no worries that anyone else is going to find out."

"How can you be so sure?!"

"Because Sasuke is not like that. He wouldn't do anything to hurt me. You don't know the story yet but we've been through a lot together and we would do anything for each other. He doesn't open up with anyone else the way he does with me. Besides Jiraiya, Sasuke is my family. He's not blood but he's my brother. I trust him with my life. I promise this won't be an issue."

They stay silent for a couple of minutes. Hinata takes a deep breath and says, "I don't know if I'm just being gullible but you have a way of making me trust you."

"You can trust me. I wouldn't lie to you, especially about something that would hurt you. I...I really care about you, Hinata."

She looks into his eyes and exhales. She can't form words and looks away.

"I'm not trying to get you to do or say anything you're not ready for. I just want you to trust that I'll do whatever it takes to keep a smile on your face."

"Thank you, Naruto."

He starts the truck and heads back to Icha Icha. Two minutes of silence.

Naruto pulls up next to hers. "I'm sorry I ruined our time together."

"It wasn't ruined." She answers quickly. "It's something to process but I appreciate your honesty. It's just...maybe we should...slow down."

Naruto leans his head back on the rest and releases a long breath. He swallows and without looking at her he asks, "Is that what you really want, Hinata?"

"I think we may be getting too wrapped up in the excitement of the situation."

He looks to her and with a strong tone responds, "Is that what it is for you because it's not the situation that excites me. It's you. All you. You're smart and sweet and caring and sexy...Believe it when I say I wish your weren't my teacher but then I never would have met you."

"I'm just...I trust you, maybe more than I should and I'm not use to that and no, it's not the situation that excites me. I need some time to think things through."

"I get it." He answers short and quick.

"Don't be angry, Naruto."

"I'm sorry. I'm not." He sighs. "You take all the time you need but I know we belong together. Eventually, you'll stop fighting it and allow me to love you the way you deserve to be loved. The only regret I'll have is the lost time we could've been spending together."

Hinata's breath hitches and she looks away from the persistent blonde. She replies, "You don't love me, Naruto..."

He takes her chin and pulls her face in his direction. "Heh, is that what you think?" Naruto taps her temple. "You still got it in your pretty little head that I'm just trying to fuck my teacher, eh? For someone so smart you're a little dumb."

She glares at him before opening the door. "I'm sorry, Naruto. I just don't know...you cloud my mind and blur my judgement. It's all just so confusing and complicated."

"Hinata, not an hour ago you were telling me how your father starved you of love. Do you really think you're the best judge of what it really looks like?"

Her face shows a hint of anger.

"I'm sorry for using what you shared with me against you. It's not right but it's still valid and I think your confusion is because you may possibly feel the same for me."

"I'm not a child, Naruto. Adults don't just fall in love in less than a month."

"Nearly three months. I've fallen in love with you slowly over three months. I watched your interest in and respect for others. I watched you open up and relate with strangers to help them gain some understanding. I heard your giggle AND I heard sincerity in your words. We may be your students but you care so naturally. You are a wonderful person that just keeps drawing me in the more I learn about you. A child can't see what I see."

She leaves the truck and gets into her car. The height distance of the two vehicles giving the privacy Hinata needed to dry her eyes. He doesn't pull away until she is about to.
