Naruto thinks, 'These shoes are so comfortable. I could easily go a few more hours without any issue.' "Pfft! What the fuck are you even thinking." The blonde says out loud to himself in the loud crowded club. What better way to end a work night than being on the floor when Hinata does her number and then getting to leave after she properly gets his blood pumping.
School was out for winter recess and Naruto was ready to spend the next week worshipping his goddess and it was to begin tonight. Then tomorrow he has his little surprise and ending with Hinata in his bed and waking up beside her Christmas morning. The excited blonde claps his hands together and as if signaling his beauty, the lights fade and the guitar riff begins, drums coming in shortly after.
On the stage in front of him, now under the spotlight, Hinata is standing in front of the pole. She's wearing a blood red, tiny, practically painted on latex dress. It was so shiny, it looked wet. Naruto's skin tingles, he smirks thinking how he's seen her lips looks as slick as this crazy dress. Her hair is teased and wild. The dark, smoky make-up around her bright, glowing eyes and locked on her young blonde, would hypnotize anyone they're aimed at.
'She was a fast machine,
she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman
that I ever seen'
Hinata is dancing around the stage. Whipping her hair and shaking her ass in the faces of what lately is a growing clientele. The balloon material moving along with her body like a second skin.
'She had the sightless eyes,
telling me no lies
Knocking me out
with those American thighs'
Naruto licks his lips as he watches his lover's gentle and dangerous hands running over her curves and luscious, strangled titties.
'Taking more than her share,
had me fighting for air
She told me to come,
but I was already there'
Hinata crawls to the edge of the stage directly in front of Naruto. She rises to her knees, now at the edge of the stage. The raven-haired beauty curls her finger, calling the blushing blonde over.
'Cause the walls start shaking,
the earth was quaking
My mind was aching,
and we were making it and you'
His nostrils flair. Not a fan when Hinata brings attention to him during her show but he smirks knowing it's always something kinda innocent and worth the embarrassment. Naruto approaches the bouncing and writhing goddess. He's close enough where he now needs to lean forward. She leans slightly meeting him, "Cut my dress off of me, please."
'Shook me all night long
Yeah, you
Shook me all night long'
With his pocket knife already in hand, thumb and middle finger along the flat sides of the cold steel while his index finger is along the blunt side of the blade, his fingertip only allowing a hint of the knife's own tip to be seen. With Hinata on her knees and her legs spread, her dress is stretched extremely taut. Leaning a little further in, Naruto speaks into her ear, "Don't move." As he pulls back, Hinata turns her face into his. The tips of their noses making contact before he looks into her eyes and presses his extended index finger into the material between her thighs. The very tip of the knife goes through the material and cuts downward, passed the edge. Still looking into her eyes, Naruto closes the knife and slips it back into his pocket.
'Working double-time
on the seduction line
She one of a kind,
she's just a-mine all mine'
His hands meet at the split material. A second later the dress was in the blonde's hands He looks down at his goddess in her flimsy red lace thong and her Christmas wreath pasties around her perky nipples. She smiles as one forms on her lover's face. He quickly reaches forward and pinches both nipples before pulling away and stepping back so she can continue her show.
'Wanted no applause,
just another course
Made a meal outta me,
and come back for more'
Hinata becomes giddy whenever Naruto makes the slightest effort to join in and right now, she can still feel his fingertips on her nipples. She continues the pinching trying to trick her mind into thinking it's still Naruto that's making her feel this way. She dances around the stage shaking her breasts and ass at the patrons.
'Had to cool me down
to take another round
Now, I'm back in the ring
to take another swing'
The diminutive dancer grasps the pole and spins around it multiple times before grabbing it high and then wrapping her legs around it before releasing her hands. Her strong legs hold tight as Hinata is now upside down. She holds the pole below her head and releases her legs, swinging them in front of her and planting her feet on the floor before standing up straight.
'That the walls were shaking,
the earth was quaking
My mind was aching,
and we were making it and you'
Naruto's eyes scan the crowd of entertained and needy men. Their lust for his woman is written all over their faces. Some are moving close to the stage forcing Naruto to keep his eyes off of his goddess and on the leeches closing in.
'Shook me all night long
Yeah, you
Shook me all night long
It knocked me out that you
Shook me all night long
It had me shaking and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me
Well, you took me'
Hinata crawls close to the edge and rises to her knees. She takes ahold of her breasts and squeezes. Bringing them together, she lifts her heavy titties, sticks her tongue out to lick each of her wreath-circled nipples.
{Guitar Solo}
"I've got something for you to put in your mouth!" One of the leeches yells out as he grabs his dick through his pants bringing laughter from his two friends at his side. Naruto can tell that the small group is way past drunk. He moves in closer to the stage and to the group of rambunctious men. He doesn't watch them outright so not to draw their attention and cause any issues. He keeps his gaze primarily on his lover, watching the men out of the corner of his eye.
'You really took me and you
Shook me all night long
Ah, you
Shook me all night long'
Hinata, ignoring the growing shouts from the inebriated men, continues her sexual dance. Completely aware how the men are getting rowdier and rowdier, Hinata decides to keep her panties on.
"Take it off! Let us see your pussy!" The loudmouth of the group yells.
Hinata stays away from their side of the stage as the song is coming to a close. The vocal man is moving to be closer to where she is dancing. Keeping his eyes on the half naked beauty, he passes in front of multiple onlookers. As he gets closer to passing Naruto, the blonde takes half of a step closer to the stage which stops the loudmouth in his tracks. Naruto, with a smile, keeps his eyes on his lover so that the man doesn't assume that the blonde is trying to halt his movements.
'Yeah, yeah, you
Shook me all night long
You really got me and you,
Shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me
Yeah, you shook me
All night long'
Hinata's dance ends, the music and lights dim as she moves towards the back of the stage to the stairs. Naruto notices the loudmouth backtrack and start to move in the same direction as Hinata.
"HINA!" Naruto calls out to the dancer before she reaches the steps and just before the drunk man can intercept.
Hinata looks back as the dim lights come back on. Naruto cocks his head, signaling her to walk to him. She turns direction, heading back towards her lover as she watches him take his jacket off and lay it over the railing. When she reaches the edge of the stage Naruto puts his hands up and takes her by the waist. "C'mon," Naruto commands. Hinata places her hands on his shoulders as he grips her, taking her from the stage and placing her down in front of him, with the drunk guys behind her. Before she knows it, with their eyes on each other, Naruto's jacket is around her and being buttoned.
Hinata's pouty parted lips curve into a grin. Naruto, with brow furrowed and eyes now down on the last button, can see her sexy smile in his peripheral, "Not now, Hinata." Before he can fully stand up straight one of her arms wrap around his neck and pulls his lips to hers as her free hand cradles his chin and cheek. He flinches to pull away but can't help but suck on her tongue. Naruto's eyes flick up and he releases a grunt, pulls away and pushes Hinata behind him. About six feet away is the loudmouth coming their way. "Oi!" The protective blonde, shoulders back, pops his chin at the man who has stopped, "Can I help you with something?!" Naruto growls.
The intoxicated leech puts his hands up, "Hey, man! Easy. Just wondering if I could get her number or if I needed to make an appointment."
Naruto takes a short step forward, "What the fuck did you say?!" He tilts his head, slightly off-centered, showing the man his ear.
"Shit! My bad. Heh, she your lady? I gotta be honest...you seem a little young. You even know what to d-" a hand lands on the loudmouth's shoulder.
"Enough, Kazuma. These are friends of mine."
Hinata hears Naruto, "Shit..." His hand at her hip tenses, "Hey, Asuma..." He feels his black dress shirt pull back as Hinata's grip on it tightens. "Your friend there is an asshole."
Asuma looks from Naruto to Kazuma next to him. He belches out a loud laugh and slaps the man on the back, "He's got your number!"
"Who's this kid, Lieu? They let juveniles in here?"
"This is the owner's godson, Kazuma, not to mention not one to step up to unless you're absolutely ready for something."
The inebriated Kazuma snorts, cocking his top lip while sizing up the young blonde then mumbling, "He don't look like much..." The grumbling loudmouth turns to return to his table.
"Wow, nice to know that's Konoha's finest." Naruto snarls.
"Heh, sorry. That definitely wasn't a fine moment."
"No. It wasn't." The blonde agrees.
"So, Naruto...I'm not going to make this any more awkward than it already is." The young man notices how the older male is looking a little pale and if he was drunk, he seems to be completely sobered up. "Kurenai wasn't feeling well, so I went to the precinct holiday party stag. I got roped in by the guys who didn't have dates to come here with them...this wasn't on the itinerary." Asuma pops a cigarette into his mouth staring into Naruto's eyes for some sense of understanding.
Blue eyes stay locked on the nervous ones silently pleading with him, "Asuma, we all seem to be in a situation that if we speak of will get us all into a heap of trouble. I think it's best if we never acknowledge the night."
"I think you're right, Uzumaki. No point in causing unnecessary drama. You have a Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas, Asuma!" Naruto smirks at the man from the Konoha generation before his. His gaze following the older man back to his group, "It looks like he's gathering his friends up and they're leaving."
"How am I ever going to show my face in front of him again? I'm suppose to go to his house tomorrow! Oh, my goodness!" Hinata looks ready to faint, "What am I going to do?!"
Naruto, having already turned towards his raven-haired beauty, wraps his arms around her, "He wasn't down here during your show, Hinata. Besides, he looked redder than you. Ha!" Naruto grabs her hand, knowing what was coming, and brings it to his lips, "Now...are we going to your place or mine?"
XXX
"Asuma invited some of the more eligible bachelors from his job," The older brunette turns so Hinata won't see her grin.
"Eligible?" The younger woman scoffs, "Is that a nice way of saying idiot?"
"Ha!" The slightly tipsy Kurenai loudly laughs, leaning back on her kitchen counter with her, supposed, third glass of wine, "But they sure are hot!" She leans over some to peek into the open living/dining room, trying to get a look at her husband's coworkers.
"Kurenai! You better watch your mouth!" Hinata whisper shouts, "You wouldn't want Asuma to hear you say something like that."
"Pfft! It would probably turn him on! Hey! Maybe one of the idiots can figure out how to tickle your hoohah the right way!"
"Oh, my gosh, Kurenai!" Hinata's cheeks pinken at the way her mentor's quiet demeanor seems to lessen with each consumed drink.
"Seriously, Hinata! How hard can it be to find a man who doesn't internally combust!?"
"Kurenai! Sshhh!" Hinata looks around. She's thankful that the Christmas music is loud and the festive ambiance is keeping the guests from listening to the lewd conversation going on in the semi-open kitchen.
"Oh, shush yourself. You know what you need for Christmas? A nice thick, long cock to rub against all the right places!"
Hinata's eyes go wide but she immediately thinks about the thick, long cock that definitely rubs against all the right places. Her grin is caught by Kurenai, "What are you smirking about, Hinata!?"
"Nothing, Kurenai!" Hinata is blushing.
"Don't nothing me! Come on, Hinata! You're hiding something! I can't believe after everything that you're keeping something from me!" The older woman puts on an exaggerated pout, guilting her former student.
The protege bites her bottom lip. She takes a deep breath before semi-confessing, "I've met someone."
"You've met someone?!" The woman hiccups with a smile and is answered with a nod and sparkling opal eyes. "So, he knows how to tickle your hoohah the right way?"
Hinata covers her face for a couple of seconds before composing herself and giggling. She leans in and whispers, "My hoohah is being taken care of perfectly."
"Since when!?" Kurenai's volume is still at an elevated level.
Hinata continues to whisper, hoping her friend will follow suit, "It's been about a month."
"Why didn't you bring him!?"
"We're not ready for that just yet."
"Not ready!?! What's the problem? Is he married?"
"Oh my gosh! He's not married!"
"Then what is it!?" The woman is almost hysterical.
Hinata, not wanting her friend to make a complete scene, tries to give her a somewhat reasonable answer, "He's a Konoha native and there's an age difference that some people may have a problem with and, and..."
"Do I know him?!" The woman excitedly asks with big wondering eyes.
Hinata hesitates, "I think you may."
"You have to tell me!"
"I can't...not yet."
"An older Konoha bachelor, hmm?" Kurenai taps a red nail on her chin, "Was he ever married?" The woman looks to her friend.
Hinata apprehensively shakes her head and laughs at her friend in deep thought. Kurenai glances towards the front door to see who just arrived. She does a double take and smirks, "I have to say, that boy has gotten so gorgeous I forget that he's the same smart-ass brat that drove Konoha crazy when he was younger."
Hinata looks in the direction that Kurenai is staring and gasps. Naruto is in the living room, removing his hand from Asuma's to ruffle Asuma's nephew, Konohamaru's messy brown hair. He then walks to Hiruzen, the patriarch of the family, offering his hand to Asuma's father then handing him a metallic bag taking on the shape of the spirit bottle inside.
Kurenai, hearing the gasp, looks to her young friend, "He's beautiful. Isn't he?"
"He's my student!"
"Ha! I'm aware and what a nice view! Ahahaha!"
Hinata furrows her brow, trying not to egg Kurenai on.
"Oh, Hinata! What's with the look?! He's legal." She wiggles her eyebrows as the tall blonde enters the kitchen.
"Hi, Kurenai. Merry Christmas!" He leans in and gives her a kiss on the cheek and hands her a gift that matches the one he gave to her father-in-law. "Konohamaru told me to pass by if I was in town. I hope that's not a problem." His bright smile tickles Hinata. She awaits the moment he looks in her direction.
"Of course it's not a problem, Naruto!" Hinata watches as Kurenai drunkenly flirts with the young stud.
Her hand is on his chest as he turns his head toward's his lover, "Hello, Ms. Hyuuga. Fancy seeing you here." His big devious smile instantly making her panties wet.
With her face again becoming flushed but for a totally more intimate reason, "Hello, Naruto. This is unexpected seeing you here."
The blonde rubs the back of his head, "Yeah, well, I train Konohamaru and he invited me over. I figured I'd pass by, show my respects to the old man and hang out for a bit. You look really nice Ms. Hyuuuga." Naruto looks down to the short, red sequined, spaghetti strap dress that hugged every one of Hinata's curves and licks his lips. "Are you having a good time?"
"Thank you, Naruto. Yes, I'm having a very nice time."
"I'm trying to talk her into having an even better time!"
"Kurenai!" Hinata's face is flaming red.
Naruto cocks one of his eyebrows, looking from the hostess to Hinata with a questioning look.
"Don't you think Ms. Hyuuga should have some fun?" Kurenai teases.
"Ms. Hyuuga should definitely have some fun." He smirks knowing how aroused his lover most surely is.
The three are broken from their conversation when a glass is heard breaking.
Kurenai moves quickly, "Don't worry! I've got it!" She places her wine glass on the counter, grabs the paper towels and heads for the accident.
"So...looking for a good time?" Naruto smiles.
"No...I've got someone waiting for me." She grins at the blonde. "Oh...that guy from last night is here."
Naruto looks up with some annoyance.
"He must've been very drunk last night because he's been starting conversations with me all night and I haven't gotten any impression that he recognizes me."
"Oh?" Naruto smirks again. He looks up and scans the room for anyone paying them any attention. He steps closer, "Is he making your pussy wet?" His hand rests on the counter near hers.
Hinata looks up and scans the room for herself. She responds, "Are you worried that he's making my pussy wet?" Naruto's finger raises from the counter and grazes lightly down one of her own. "I'm very hurt, Naruto. I can't believe you think that just any man can make my pussy throb." She looks to the living room, "Maybe I should test your theory." She's walking backwards, slowly, towards the entry of the kitchen to the living room.
Naruto whispers, "Hi-na-taaaa..." He walks slowly after her with a big smile. She turns once in the living room and looks around for the man who has been trying to find a way into her panties all night. Once locked onto her prey, Hinata makes her way over to him. Naruto notices how the man did a double-take when he realized the gorgeous beauty was looking and working her way towards him. The loudmouth asshole has a goofy smile on his face and all but ignores the conversation he's already involved in.
Kazuma, with his eyes on Hinata, becomes aware that there is a lull in the conversation and suddenly looks to his friends and blushes, apologizing for not paying better attention. When he's positive that she's making her way to him, he excuses himself and meets her a few steps away.
"Can I get you another drink?" Kazuma leans down and close to Hinata's ear.
She looks into his eyes and nods. Turning his body, he puts his arm out for her to take hold of it. She does and he states, "After we get you a new drink, how about we find a quiet place to get to know each other better?" He smiles down at the beauty, eyes locking on to her magnificent rack just as the pair walks past Naruto, entering the kitchen once again. "What are you drinking?"
"I'll have some more of the punch." Hinata releases his arm and leans against the counter. She smiles then looks through the doorway when he turns away to get her drink. Her blonde is watching her with a grin when Asuma approaches him and hands the underage man a beer.
"Thanks, man." Naruto twists off the cap and takes a big swig as his eyes go back to his goddess. "Your friend must've been trashed last night. He hasn't recognized either of us."
"Yeah, he was out of it before we even got to the club...So...what's the deal?" Asuma, leaning on the mantle of the fireplace, sucks in a drag of his cigarette then looks around and asks in a low voice, "Are you really fucking Hinata...your teacher?" He gives the room another pass before looking straight at the grinning, and blushing, blonde. He doesn't need an answer, "Ha! Holy fuck..." Asuma laughs, looking down at his shoes with a slight blush of his own. He looks back up to Naruto and smirks, "She's real fucking sexy...does she know how to use it?"
The tall blonde looks from the older man into the kitchen. Hinata's back is to him. Her right hip leaning on the counter and Kazuma standing close in front of her, lustfully looking down to her. Naruto has a perfect view of her hourglass figure. He recollects how, in every one of her curves, a part of him fits perfectly. She laughs at something the loudmouth says and places her hand on his chest.
"Imagine the night of your dreams...all your fantasies will be fulfilled." Naruto watches as Kazuma slides his index finger under the red satin spaghetti strap at her shoulder, following it back and down to her shoulder blade. He looks back to Asuma, "That doesn't come close to what a night with Hinata is like." Kazuma's hand passes Hinata's shoulder blade, brushing the sequins down on the back of her dress.
The older male blows out a breath with a groan while he closes his eyes for a moment. "Ugh. I was hoping she was a sloppy mess, dammit!" He looks into the kitchen, "And what's up with that?"
Naruto smirks, "She's messing with me." He looks to Asuma and laughs at his confusion.
"And you have no problem with it? You're not worried some guy's gonna swoop in and snatch her from you?"
"She's not going anywhere." Naruto's comment is said with complete confidence.
For some reason Asuma doesn't doubt the young man's words. He laughs and slaps Naruto on the back, "Lucky bastard!"
"You gotta keep this to yourself, Asuma." Naruto looks back to the older man.
Asuma tosses his cigarette into the fireplace before looking at the blonde. With a teasing grin he comments, "You know...as a police officer, I'm obligated to the community to report this terrible indiscretion."
"What indiscretion is that, sweetie?" Kurenai approaches, sliding her arm around her husband's waist.
Naruto looks to Asuma with an annoyed expression.
"Uh...Naruto here is lusting over his science teacher!"
"Hinata?!" Kurenai looks from her husband to the blushing blonde, "Awww, how adorable! Do you have a little crush on Ms. Hyuuga?"
Naruto rolls his eyes and looks to Asuma, "You're a dick!"
"I can't even imagine what it's like having Hinata as a teacher in a classroom full of boys. She's sexy as fuck!"
"Kurenai! How many glasses of wine have you had!?!"
"Oh, stop! I've seen your gaze fall to her perfect titties. It's okay. I'd fuck her if I went that way!"
Naruto chokes on his mouthful of beer as Asuma covers his face, embarrassed by his wife's drunken demeanor.
Kurenai looks to the blonde as he dries his mouth off, "It's too bad you're her student. She could use a nice young cock with a lot of stamina!"
"Kurenai! You're cutoff! No more wine for you!"
Naruto, laughing at his hosts, looks back over to his lover and the hand resting on her hip. Hinata's back is now leaning on the counter again while Kazuma stands in front and practically over her. His lower body seeming to get closer and closer to hers.
"I'm not a fan of Kazuma." Kurenai scowls in his direction.
"No? Is it his career choice?" Naruto asks with a smile, throwing the dig at Asuma who in turn fakes a jab towards the youth's ribs, making him flinch.
"I thought you liked Kazuma, Kur'?" Asuma asks his childhood sweetheart.
"I do...but when he's alone. He doesn't know how to treat women or how to speak in their presence. He'll get lewd and graphic while speaking with a lady, in a room full of people! Look at Hinata. That look on her face says it all!" The two men look from the lady of the house to Hinata. Kazuma is even closer but Hinata's hands are on his chest and not in a sensual way. She looks to be holding him off.
Naruto begins to move towards the kitchen, "Where ya going, Naruto?" Asuma asks with a worried tone.
He looks to his bottle and finishes what's left, "Throwing away my trash." He continues on.
"What do you think he's going to do?" Kurenai questions.
Asuma doesn't respond but he can only imagine.
Naruto enters the kitchen and catches Hinata's glance. He wants to kick himself. He hadn't noticed earlier but there's a look of annoyance in her face.
"C'mon baby. Don't you live across the street? We can go to your place and you can show me what this pretty little mouth can do." Kazuma's thumb moves to her bottom lip but Hinata intercepts, stopping the connection.
"Please, Kazuma. Keep your voice down. He's one of my students."
"Heh! One of your..." The loudmouth leech quickly glances over to Naruto, who is now leaning on the perpendicular counter, "I guarantee that he agrees with me completely!" He looks left to the blonde, "Hey, kid! You don't have a problem with me trying to get into your teacher's panties, right? Ha!" He looks back to Hinata, "Maybe we let the kid join in to keep his mouth shut."
Hinata is shocked at how crude and uncaring this man is.
"How's that sound, champ? You will to trade your silence for a little taste of your teacher?" His hand moves under the hem of trapped woman's short dress, mid-thigh. When Hinata grasps his wrist to stop his ascent, Kazuma can't help but close his hand and squeeze at the soft flesh.
"Man! You must get all the ladies!" the blonde sarcastically comments, "You've got a goddess in front of you and that's how you speak? Not to mention, if she were mine I wouldn't even joke about sharing her but you thought that would be a good idea even after she told you that I was one of her students. What if I were to take you up on your little offer and then, after embarrassing you, decide to let the whole school know that I bagged the hottest teacher around and not give a fuck if she loses her livelihood."
Kazuma's hand pulls away from Hinata's leg as he turns slightly and looks to Naruto with annoyance and confusion, "Just get lost, kid!"
Naruto walks halfway towards the pair, "I don't think I will. You seem to be making Hinata uncomfortable." His eyes move from the aggravated asshole to his lover. With the faintest cock of his head, Naruto summons his goddess.
With Kazuma's now open stance, Hinata steps to her side and begins to move towards her Adonis but is stopped when she feels a large hand grasp her arm, "Where you going, sugar? I thought we were gonna have some fun?"
Hinata looks from his tightly closed hand around her lower arm back to Kazuma's face. Quickly, she brings her hand up forcing his arm to twist, unnaturally while turning her body in his direction. As he breaks his grip, Hinata, now behind him, tightly takes hold of Kazuma's wrist, keeping him in the unnatural twist. She pulls his wrist back as her other hand adds pressure to the back of his upper arm, hyperextending the elbow joint. When he tries to pull away a sharp feeling of pain shocks the much larger man who now has his face and shoulder against the cabinet over the counter. In an instant the pain is gone. Hinata has released his arm.
Naruto, completely turned on, listens to his mild-mannered secret lover's sweet little voice with a big grin.
"Kazuma, I'm very surprised! I would think that a man of your profession would know better than to grab a woman like that! And to say such lewd things...and in front of one of my students! I'm appalled!"
Kazuma, now facing Hinata, holds his elbow as he leans back to the counter. He has a look of utter confusion. The slightly inebriated man is stunned silent, embarrassed by Hinata's words.
"Besides..." Hinata looks around before leaning in and continuing, "...you never really had a chance. My throbbing, wet pussy purrs for only one man." She looks to her younger, smiling lover, silently insinuating to Kazuma who she belongs to before exiting the kitchen and heading to the hosts who were watching on. Kazuma, with a furrowed brow, looks towards Naruto who shrugs with a big grin and exits the kitchen's second entryway that leads through the dining room then back to the living room. He looks up and sees Hinata talking with Asuma and Kurenai. He walks to them.
"Are you okay, Ms. Hyuuga?" Naruto asks drawing a grin from Asuma.
"I'm okay, Naruto. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate the things you said." Hinata looks to her lover and gives him a sweet smile.
"No need to thank me. It was thanks enough to see you manhandle that asshole! You were so badass! Wait until I tell the guys..."
Hinata giggles at Naruto's excited comment.
Kurenai adds, "Seriously, Hinata. I know you've told me about your training but that was {hiccup}
one of the most awesome things I've ever seen!"
"I agree." Asuma continues, "And after treating you like that I'm going to make sure he doesn't live this down!"
Hinata covers her blushing face in embarrassment.
"Well, I'm gonna get going." Naruto says as he puts his hand out to Asuma.
"So soon?" Kurenai asks.
Naruto responds, "Yeah. I promised to help Jiraiya with a couple of things."
"What do you and Jiraiya have planned for tomorrow?" The older woman questions.
"We're staying home. A friend of mine is coming by to spend the day with us."
"A friend?" Kurenai teases with a big grin, "Do you have a girlfriend, Naruto?"
The blonde's blush brings one to Hinata's cheeks.
"Kurenai, leave the kid alone." Asuma chuckles.
She ignores her husband, "Must be pretty serious if you're inviting her over to spend a whole day with Jiraiya!"
Naruto laughs, "You can say that."
"Awww, I think your student is in love, Hinata!"
The diminuitive beauty tries to keep her composure. She's thankful that Kurenai is tipsy and that Asuma already knows the deal. She looks to her lover.
Naruto responds, "There's no thinking about it. I'm head-over-heels for her!"
Kurenai has a big smile on her face, "Nothing quite like when you first fall in love!" She looks up to her husband who smiles lovingly at her before leaning down and placing a chaste kiss on her lips.
Naruto looks to Hinata whose blush is in full bloom. His grin gives her chills. "Well...have a wonderful Christmas." He kisses Kurenai on the cheek.
"You too, Naruto. Wish you could've stayed longer. You didn't even eat anything!"
"I'm good. I've been making the rounds to see the guys and their moms have been feeding me all day." He chuckles.
"Good. You have a Merry Christmas and please let Jiraiya know we were asking for him."
"Thank you, I will." He looks to Hinata.
"Merry Christmas, Ms. Hyuuga."
"Merry Christmas, Naruto." She steps towards her secret lover and gives him a hug. He hesitates at first before wrapping his arms around her and returning the embrace for a few seconds.
When his arms finally tighten around Hinata, she releases a quiet lust-filled moan only Naruto can hear. They separate and Kurenai notices the flush to the blonde's cheeks as he rubs the back of his head.
"Oh! Look, Asuma! I've never seen Naruto so embarrassed!"
"Ha! Not even when he was caught peeping into the ladies' locker room at the public pool!"
"Oh, my god! I was like twelve! Goodnight!" His eyes leave the couple and glance to his lover as a corner of his mouth pulls back at the teasing. He leaves the kitchen, "Merry Christmas, everyone!"
"Merry Christmas, Naruto!"
"G'night, kid."
"Later, big bro! Merry Christmas!"
Kurenai looks to her protege, "It really is a shame he's your student. You two would really make a very sexy couple!"
Her mentor, having walked towards the refrigerator, never saw the grin her husband shot Hinata or the subsequent blush.

Goddess: Im in me wsy. Shouldbe the rein a two
minures/ 1:18am
Naruto, laying on his couch in his living room illuminated only by a Christmas tree, needs to pause the tv to reread the text a few times before he's able to translate it. "Ha! Holy crap." He jumps up, moving to open his front door, ridiculously excited to experience what he assumes from her messy text to be a drunk Hinata.
Coming up the path, in a black hooded cloak that's only a little longer than her short dress, Hinata looks up to the opening door. Staying back from the open entryway, Naruto leans slightly left then right, trying to see if there was any passerbys out at this late hour and still celebrating the holiday. The street is clear so his eyes go back to the slow strolling woman. He looks down to the sexy black heels clicking closer and closer to his home. She begins to separate the front of her cloak as she takes the one step up into the house.
Before he can hear the click of the latch on the door, Hinata is on Naruto and pulling his t-shirt over his head, dropping it on top of the cloak. Her hands go to his abs and slide up over his pecs and collar then continuing up both sides of his neck and ending with two hands full of wild golden locks. She looks into his eyes for a moment, "Merry Christmas, Naruto." She's takes his mouth sloppily and Naruto is loving it, giving it right back to her.
His hands are traveling Hinata's curves. In between kisses, he comments, "I can't believe...you didn't...change...before walking here." He pulls back to look into her face, "Did you at least go home and take the shortcut?"
Hinata pouts at Naruto halting their kisses, "Why would I?! It's a beautiful night, my things are already here and no one could tell it was me."
He looks into her half-lidded eyes before reconnecting lips with his sexy goddess, "I can taste the tequila on your tongue." Naruto's sliding the thin straps off of her shoulders.
Hinata looks into her lover's lecherous gaze, "I want to taste you on my tongue, Naruto." Her mouth connects with his neck as his head tilts back. Hinata's hand is back in his hair but the other is palming his cock. His hand pulling down the zipper of her dress frozen with only half of his objective complete due to the way she is laving his neck.
She's slobbering up and down; from one side to another; using her lips, her tongue and her teeth. His cock begins to throb harder. He realizes she's treating his neck the way she would his dick. The kisses and licks and nibbles; the laps and flicks and swirls...The torture!
"God, your mouth!" His neck is already covered in her spit but she keeps on going. Naruto is finally able to complete his mission. With the zipper finally fully open, the shiny, red dress falls to the floor. Hinata presses her palm against the middle of Naruto's chest, pushing him back and allowing her to walk out of the dress puddled around her feet. He drinks in her bare body as he slowly paces backward. He cocks an eyebrow, questioning, "Where are you panties, Hinata?"
Hinata looks down and away from his gaze, "W-when I was walking here all I kept thinking about were the things you said at Asuma and Kurenai's earlier. When you told Kazuma how if I were yours you would never joke about sharing me...It made me..." She looks into Naruto's wanting blue eyes, "I'm head over heels for you, too."
Naruto's smile grows, "I knew you were crazy for me." He snatches Hinata up. She wraps her legs around his midsection as their mouths reconnect, her hands back in his hair. He sits on his couch with his beauty straddling his lap, he pulls away. "Wait a minute...So, you took your panties off on your way here?"
Hinata bites her lips together under his gaze. She's wearing a little smile before responding, "It's not comfortable walking with wet panties." She scoots closer, pressing her aroused clit against the base of his sweatpants covered dick.
Their mouths connect again, tongues smashing against each other a second before their lips touch. After a couple of minutes Naruto pulls back again and asks, "Are you going to show me what this pretty little mouth can do?" His mouth pulls into a lewd smirk.
Hinata recognizes Kazuma's words, "For you? Absolutely!" She takes his lips and tongue for another moment before sliding down his body. On her way down she grasps the waist of his sweats, immediately making Naruto lift up. They're off of him a second after her knees hit the soft carpet. Her hands slide from his knees up his inner thighs, spreading them wider and diving right in. Hinata licks up the seam of his balls and straight up his shaft. As soon as she reaches his tip she opens wide and quickly descends down his rod.
"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!" His head falls back and is spinning at the pace Hinata is bobbing. "Fuck this! I know what that mouth can do! Get up here before you make me cum already!" Grabbing her upper arms, Naruto drags her up his body. He holds his cock up as she lines her slit up with him. The next second he's bucking into her bounces, a big hand grasping each tit, halting their wild swinging, a small hand covering each of his. The wet sounds of their sex slapping together is all they hear.
"I wanted you take me at Kurenai's, so badly!"
"Not as badly as I wanted to take you!" His hands shift under hers and pinch her hard nipples.
"Uhhhhhhh, Naruto!" Hinata's loud moans makes him lean forward and push her hands away. He pulls her nipple into his mouth and clamps his teeth down, "Aaahhhhhhhh!!!" She moans into the ceiling, "Naruto! Pleeeease..."
Naruto leans back again, pulling Hinata with him, her breasts smashed against his chest as he drives up into her, "Please, what, Hinata? Tell me what you want..."
She shakes her head in confusion, "I...don't...know...I want you...more of you...I NEED you!"
Hinata's revelation creates a spark in Naruto. He grabs her and shifts, bringing her under his demanding body across the couch. He brings Hinata's outer leg to his waist. Her other is pinned between him and the couch. "I'm yours, Hinata." He breathlessly responds with a burning in his chest that stings his eyes closed." All yours." Their lips can't get enough of the other's as he continues to slam into her, "And you're mine!" Naruto is drilling into his goddess as if staking his claim with strong grunts and groans of his satisfaction. Her loud cries and moans validating who her body belongs to. His reverence of her whispered in between kisses.

Her eyes slowly open to bare slits. She scrunches her forehead when she can't see her surroundings. Opening further causes the veil of hair in front of her face to tickle her lashes. Laying like a puddle, practically facedown on the most comfortable bed, Hinata worries how badly her head will be spinning once she tries to lift it. Her outstretched arms slide under her shoulders and pushes her away from the cloud below her.
She gingerly lifts her head. Moving at a careful pace, Hinata rises to her knees and sits back on her heels. The anticipated dizziness never coming. She gathers her wild hair, using her fingers to tame it as well as possible and takes notice of the large orange t-shirt with the picture of a narutomaki on the front. It makes her chuckle. Her eyes unconsciously go to the empty spot on her left where she sees a paper folded and placed like a tent on the vacant pillow with her name on the front. With a smile she places one hand down to the mattress for balance, as she leans over to reach for the note. A small giggle passes her lips at the sight of the tiny heart over the 'i' in her name. She opens the folded paper...
[Goddess,
I hope you didn't wake up feeling sick. There's a few more ibuprofen on the nightstand along with another Gatorade. It'll help.]
Hinata looks over to the nightstand. She's awake enough to remember Naruto giving her the combination and the t-shirt before they went to sleep. Makes sense since she doesn't really feel terrible.
[If it's earlier than eleven then don't rush down. I think Jiraiya won't be making an appearance before noon. He was with Granny last night. The two of them plus a holiday equal drinking games. Ha!]
She smiles imagining his loud, cheery laugh and looks towards the alarm clock. Only a little past nine.
[So, take your time. Enjoy the morning. I picked up some rolls and buns and stuff from the bakery yesterday so we're good for breakfast. Coffee will be fresh all morning!]
Hinata puts her hand over her rumbling tummy.
[I'm at your beckoned call! ;p
Yours, Naruto]
The raven-haired beauty giggles at the hand-written emote and blushes at the intention. For some reason Hinata feels an excitement that she's not sure where it's coming from but it does remind her of the giddiness of children awaiting this holiday. The giddiness that she now sees in her young lover and she believes that it's catching.
Climbing from the bed, Hinata takes the ibuprofen and pops them into her mouth. She opens the electrolyte replacement and while drinking moves to the couch and opens her bag. She reaches in and takes out her toiletries' bag along with a new pair of Christmas panties, the Gatorade and heads to the bathroom. She places her things onto the vanity and runs to relieve herself. Taking a washcloth from the cabinet Hinata lathers it with warm water and is about to scrub away any makeup that wasn't rubbed off already. The action is stopped when looking in the mirror she sees, on a hook directly behind her, a pair of woman's pajamas on a hanger. She places the towel down and turns towards the holiday-themed longjohns with a smile on her face. They're a pale pink with tiny pairs of Christmas tree ornaments in all different colors all over the stretchy material. It's V-neck and has buttons down the front. She can only imagine how the long underwear will hug her body. Hinata looks down and sees a cute pair of slipper booties along side a new pair of small white terry slippers. The same material as Naruto's robe.
She looks towards the door, seeing the large coat hanging in its place. When she looks to the hanger in front of her she notices the white terry robe behind it. She must've subconsciouly assumed that it was Naruto's. Now, focusing on the robe, Hinata sees the not-so-subtle difference in size. She quickly turns back to the sink with a big grin and begins to freshen up. She looks over and chuckles when she sees a lavendar toothbrush hanging next to Naruto's orange one. It draws a giggle as she thinks of how she's going to reprimand him for breaking the 'no presents' stipulation.
Hinata peeks her head passed the wall to the open staircase that sits behind the television. Naruto is lounging on the couch with his feet up on the ottomon and a mug in his hand. He's watching some holiday cooking battle with intense focus. Hinata, descends only two steps before drawing his gaze upwards from the tv, to a bootied foot. His concentrated brow instantly softens as his head tilts back. His smile grows seeing Hinata in the holiday thermal. His big blue eyes travel along the curves of her profile. The view instantly heats Naruto up from within. He didn't expect this to be much different than the skintight athletic wear she has but he couldn't be more wrong. His eyes widen at the discovery.
It really does make sense. The athletic clothing has a level of support. That along with the thought of how many times he'd taken new thermals out of the packaging thinking they would never fit until they're on and already losing their elasticity. The material simultaneously sculpts her body yet has zero support and even having had her completely naked, in many alluring positions, this may be one of the sexiest things he's ever seen. She was jiggling, "Hot daaamn..." His semi-free hand drops the remote and palms his instantly alive dick. Finally, Naruto looks to Hinata's pouting face and furrowed brow but can also see her fighting off a smile. Her expression causes his pearly whites to make an appearance while he's totally aware of the blush painting his own cheeks. With a chuckle, he asks, "What's the mugg for?" He places his cup on the table to his right.
"What's my mugg for? What happened with our agreement of no presents?" Naruto tries to stay focused but finds it completely impossible now that she's approaching head on. His eyes are on her juggling titties. The V of the long underwear spotlighting a few luscious inches of her sumptuous cleavage. The fitted material slightly pulling apart in the spaces between buttons.
"You mean this?" He points towards her body, "This isn't a Christmas gift." He's stern.
"No? Sorry, I guess the Christmas ornament theme confused me." Hinata circles the ottomon and maneuvers herself onto Naruto's lap. "What about the robe and slippers?"
With his arm resting across her lap he responds, "Well, I ordered those after you stole my robe the first time. Holiday delays held them up." He raises his hand off of her and scratches at the scars on his cheek, "Ya know, even if they were all presents they're pretty much all for me. The robe tempts you into stripping and getting into my tub and this..." He looks down to her bosom which gently sways even when Hinata takes a deep breath. "What a delicious surprise." His arm back across her lap, his hand splayed across her hip and ass tightens and jiggles her flesh. Hinata sharply gasps at the movement of her body, "Shit! You are so fucking sexy!"
"Naruto!" She stiffens her muscles and crosses her arms over her breasts, trying to stop her body's uncontrollable movements. Her enthusiastic lover laughs at her useless actions as he continues to jiggle her amazing body. His laughter becomes contagious and Hinata can't control her giggles.
Naruto finally stills and their laughing dies down. He pulls her to his mouth for a quick kiss, "I didn't expect to see you up so early? You feeling okay?"
"I feel wonderful, actually."
"Well...just let me know if you rather I order some Chinese for dinner."
"Absolutely not!" Hinata shifts to straddle her worried lover and puts her arms around his neck, "I've been thinking about roast turkey since you invited me."
"Yeah, but I didn't invite you to cook!" His hands spread open on each of her ass cheeks.
"Don't be silly! I've been dying to cook in your kitchen."
"Still..." Looking into her sparkling opal eyes, Naruto, realizing he's projecting some of his old insecurities, scratches the back of his head and continues with a chuckle, "I sometimes worry that you'll realize how needy I really am and it's gonna scare you off."
"You are the least needy eighteen year old I've ever met." Hinata rubs the tip of her nose against his.
"I put on a good front." Naruto gives a timid smile.
"Well..." She sends him a flirty smile of her own, "You don't scare me, Naruto. So, you can't scare me off even if you tried."
He stops his smile from growing as he slides his hands up to Hinata's arms. He holds her back from him and responds with a troubled look, "Woah, woah, woah! Ms. Hyuuga...you're starting to get a little...clingy. And here I am worried that you think I'm too forward and possessive."
Hinata was waiting for Naruto to make some outlandish response. She had gotten herself ready not to react the way he would expect her to.
"Ppllllbbbbbtt!" The completely unexpected loud and wet raspberry comes as a shock to the blonde. His eyes go wide and his mouth drops open. Slowly Naruto removes a hand from his lover and wipes down his face to clear the light dusting of saliva shrapnel.
Hinata is biting down on her lips with her two fists in front of her mouth, another layer of security to fight the laughter from escaping. She's passed the initial hysterics of what she did she's now on to keeping composed while seeing Naruto's shocked expression as the corners of his mouth twitch. She hadn't intentionally meant her spit to spray him like a buckshot.
After a few seconds, Naruto's mouth is still twitching. With a knitted brow, Hinata is finally able to drop her hands. She goes from biting her mouth closed to biting the corner of her bottom lip. She's still fighting the lessening urge to laugh in his face, "I'm sor-"
"Ppllllbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbtt!"
Hinata freezes. Her beautiful opalescent eyes squeezed tight within her scrunched face. Her hands out in front of her had taken the brunt of the spray that went on much longer than her own. When Naruto's assault finally ends, Hinata opens one eye and asks, "Are you do-"
"Ppllbbtt!"
"Re-"
"Plbt! Hahaha! I'm sorry. I won't d-"
"Ppllllbbbbbtt! Hahahaha..."
"Ahahahaha..." Naruto laughs while drinking in his love's enchanting smile and laughter. The combination makes him drunk. His eyes stay on her as she sways while laughing. They stay on her as she leans in while her hand slides into the sleeve of his t-shirt but not up his arm. Her hand faced outward. Hinata presses her face into her t-shirt covered hand to wipe the spit-nel off. Realizing her hands are wet, she presses her palms into each shoulder and slides them down to his chest. Once they settle the blonde looks up with parted lips, into the grinning face of his goddess.
Hinata removes her hands from Naruto when he leans in and brings them out to her side with her hands up. He matches her grin and raises a sneaky eyebrow, "So, that's what we're doing, huh?..." He leans in a little further and towards her shoulder then stops and changes course. His hands grasp her ass cheeks and shakes right before he rubs the left side of his face across both jiggling titties. He looks up to his aroused lover's face and "One more..." He continues by retracing his steps, dragging the right side of his face across but turning half way and pressing his face into Hinata's cleavage, placing a chaste kiss to the bare swell at the border of the pajama. She smiles at how sweet Naruto's perfect lips feel, "Bblbblbblbblbblbblbblbbl!"
Hinata becomes hysterical as her arms wrap loosely around lover's head and neck, touching her cheek to his messy bed hair on the top of his head.
Her pulls back to see her face again, "Merry Christmas, Hinata."
His porcelain beauty giggles with a sweet smile and loving eyes. Naruto inhales through the clenching in his chest, "We already said that last night. It was after midnight." Hinata's left hand runs down the right side of his face. He leans in to her touch and exhales. Naruto doesn't care what she may think. She doesn't need more time to know. He knows. It comes through in her touch. "I don't care if I go to sleep at four in the morning, it's not tomorrow until I wake up."
Hinata exhales a silent laugh through her nostrils, "I see your logic...Merry Christmas, Naruto."
His smile widens, "Hungry?"
Like when Kiba says 'Speak' and Akamaru barks, Hinata's stomach loudly growls at the simple question. Her pearly eyes close for a couple of seconds then reopen upon a pink canvas to the view of her smirking lover waiting for his moment.
"I'm obviously hungry, so get it out of your system. I'm ready."
The blonde gives her a disappointed and dejected pout, "What's the point if you're not gonna get all lighthouse-y." Naruto removes his hands from her ass and crosses his big, strong arms in front of him. With not much space between the two, his arms graze her flimsily covered breasts and perky nipples. With pout firmly in place and eyes locked, Naruto shifts his arms a little and turns his wrists so that the palms of his loose fists are upward. Without a change of expression, his thumb and index finger of each hand separate and clamp down on each nipple. He looks away and feigns disappointment a second before he begins rolling her buds between his fingers.
Hinata's mouth curves into an amused grin. Her hand moves to his cheek, guiding him to face her again. She seductively responds, "I'm sorry, Naruto. What if I promise to get all red and flustered for you after breakfast?"
"It's not the same." He whines back. A second later his pout morphs to that sexy, devious grin that gives her chills and makes her temperature rise at the same time, "I guess I'll have to invent new ways to make you blush."
"Naruto, that comment alone warmed my cheeks," Her hands move to her face to cover her flush. "I don't think I'll ever get use to how you are."
He smiles, "I'd like to test that theory." He looks up and away as if in thought, scratching his cheek, "I can do a paper on it for when I go to college. It could take years to get my study together."
Naruto's big, beautiful smile squeezes her heart. She tries to pull back, emotionally, "Naruto, I thought you were worried about seeming too forward and possessive."
"Wow, Hinata...that was a low blow..." His hurt expression seems exaggerated but genuine. She had meant it as a joke but the moment it passed her lips she felt bad. She hadn't meant to bring that flicker of sadness to those usually cheerful eyes and it made her hurt in a way she'd never known. It stole a breath from her but it hadn't lasted once his pout slipped. He leers at Hinata and causes her to take a deep breath, "You still wanna play, huh? That's okay. I like when you play with me and I like to play with you." Naruto's grin along with him giving her nipples a tweak makes her shudder. He releases her tender nipples then squeezes both breasts, giving her some sense of relief. "But first...we eat! C'mon."
Hinata doesn't know why she wants and needs to kiss Naruto as badly as she does. She leans in and takes his lips softly before she reluctantly rises off of his lap. He grabs his coffee mug and takes his beauty's hand leading her to the kitchen to enjoy their simple Christmas breakfast.
"Jiraiya and I exchanged gifts last night, before you got here."
He pours Hinata a cup of coffee before refilling his as she opens the bakery box on the counter. "Ooh, these look so gooood."
"How about we take all this back to the living room and we exchange our gifts?" Hinata looks to her excited blonde lover as she takes a bite of her lemon bun.
Her eyes roll and close for a second. Her hand covers her bad etiquette as she exclaims, "Oh my goodness. This is delicious!" She chews quickly so to not continue speaking with her mouth full. Her own excitement shines through, "Yes! Let's do that."
Hinata takes a cheese bun from the box and puts it on her plate with a slight blush. Naruto gives her a crooked grin and silently admonishing her shyness to indulge while adding two buns for himself to her plate. She smiles at his attempt to make her comfortable as she takes a couple of napkins along with the plate while her Adonis takes the two cups of coffee. Naruto places the cups on the end table. He drags the coffee table closer to the Christmas tree then retrieves the cups, placing them on the table then sitting on the carpet near the wrapped presents under the tree. Hinata follows his lead, settling on her knees, sitting on her heels.
Naruto looks over to the kneeling goddess with her hands on the front of her thick luscious thighs and her breasts still slightly swaying. He rocks forward, pressing one hand into the soft carpet for leverage as he quickly taps his lips to hers before falling back to his backside, legs criss-crossed under him.
The surprise peck makes Hinata want more. She leans forward, her hands landing on Naruto's legs as she tilts her head, connecting their lips again then drops back to her heels. He reaches for a box and smiles as he presents it to her.
"Thank you, Naruto." She reaches under the tree and hands him a neatly wrapped present.
With a big smile he replies, "Thank you, Hinata."
They begin to unwrap their gifts; Hinata giggles watching Naruto tear through the wrapping paper like a giddy child.
"Naruto, please don't be disappointed. It's not that exciting of a gift."
He stops and looks up to her onlooking gaze, "I don't care about that, Hinata. It's the thought and..." he shrugs looking down, "It's just fun. Don'tcha think?"
"It is." She gives him a big smile realizing that for the first two-thirds of his life he probably didn't really get to experience this part of childhood that so many children enjoyed regularly. Not that he was acting childish, just really happy. The thought that she is sharing in something Naruto enjoys so much...outside of the bedroom...warms her from within. She begins to unwrap her own gift with a little more vigor.
"Is this that balm you put on my hamstring?" He holds up the unlabeled jar, "You made this?"
She nods, enthusiastically, "I did."
"I forgot to tell you how quickly the soreness went away. Thank you! This is great!"
"You're welcome, Naruto. I'm so glad it worked well for you." She looks down and opens the box, pulling out a mason jar, then another.
"The one with white powder and red petals is a rose and coconut fizzing bath soak and the other is floral bath salts."
She looks to the assortment of colors in the jars then back up to Naruto, "You made these?"
He rubs the back of his head, "I did...my friend Ino's family owns a flower shop and my friend Sakura is into holistic medicine, she came up with the idea and explained all the natural healing properties of the ingredients." He chuckles.
"I can't wait to try them! Thank you." She places the jars back under the tree for now. She gives him a knowing smirk, "I guess I'll have to leave that gift here along with the others upstairs.
Naruto claps his hands, "I noticed a running theme in my gifts and concluded that I will pretty much benefit from nearly all of them." He wiggles his eyebrows drawing giggles from his beauty as he hands her a gift bag. Hinata hands him another wrapped box.
Hinata pulls a clear sealed bag of potato chips out first followed by a small ziplock of herbs tied together. Lastly, she pulls another mason jar out with brown powder and what looks like walnuts.
"Teuchi...he's the owner of Ichiraku Ramen, along with his daughter, Ayame. I've known them forever and even use to work there after school. They're very precious people to me. They always treated me well even when I was a little brat." Hinata smiles at the fondness in his words, "Anyway, I had told him about your awesome ramen and he was impressed considering I'm the biggest ramen afficionado around. The last time I was there I was telling Ayame about my Christmas present mission and Teuchi suggested that a foodie like you..." He smiles at Hinata's blushing, "...may appreciate some food themed gifts. So...and I hope you don't take this the wrong way because I really loved your ramen but Teuchi gave me a list of the herbs in that bouquet. He adds it to the start of his broth. He said that if you aren't using them right away to freeze them immediately."
Holding the small ziplock up, she tilts her head, "Naruto this is such a great idea! I love it and can't wait to try it. I've had lunch with Kurenai at Ichiraku's. They have phenomenal ramen and he and his daughter are as wonderful as you say. It was so kind of him to share this part of his recipe with you. Thank you!"
She lifts the jar and with a smile takes a guess, "Brownie mix?"
Naruto nods excitedly, "But not just any brownie mix! Have you been to Chouji's family's restaurant?"
"I have! Asuma and Kurenai took me there my first weekend living in Konoha..." She looks down at the jar then back to Naruto with bright eyes, "Is this their Brownie Sundae brownie recipe?!" Naruto nods even more exhuberantly. "Did Chouji sneak the recipe to you?!"
The blonde laughs, shaking his head, "No. Actually, Choza, Chouji's dad, gave it to me. He said it wasn't a big deal. He just wants people to enjoy his creations one way or another."
"Do you happen to have ice cream?" She has a big smile on her face. She's unconsciously bouncing not even thinking about her jiggling body.
Naruto answers with a devious smirk, "I bought some yesterday...I told you I'd be benefiting from these presents." They laugh as Hinata raises the sealed, clear bag of potato chips.
"Does that mean that these are the miso flavored chips they serve instead of bread?"
"Yep! I made those yesterday at the restaurant. I couldn't do them at home because I don't have the tools to slice them so thin. I even ground the seasoning."
Hinata has a big, open-mouthed smile on her face as she looks over her presents, "Naruto, this is really so cool! Thank you!"
With a glowing smile of his own, he responds, "You are very welcome, Hinata." He looks down to the now unwrapped box and pulls out a clear, solid cube with a bright pink flower in it. He holds it up, eye level. "Camellia..." He looks to Hinata for any correction.
She nods with a muted smile, "It's from my yard. I put it in resin and thought...you had asked if I'd help add a woman's touch...it's nothing too girly or obnoxious and I hope that when you look at it you'll think of me."
His eyes leave the cube in front of him and focuses on the woman beyond it. He softly responds, "It's beautiful, Hinata. I love it." He places it down and leans over to her for a kiss. She meets him half way and their lips enjoy each other for a moment.
Back to their resting places, Hinata reaches for a familiar shaped gift. Naruto chuckles and decides to take the exactly shaped gift he has for her. She laughs seeing what's in his hand, "Did we have the same idea?"
"I would say, pretty likely." He chuckles, "CD of songs for you to dance to, for me?"
Hinata starts giggling again and nods covering her rosy cheeks, "I wonder if we chose any of the same songs. Did you list them on the cover?"
Naruto smiles as he trades gifts and they rip them open. Their laughs get louder when eight out of ten songs were a match. Naruto comments, "I told you we were meant for each other!"
He takes another gift and hands it to Hinata while receiving one in return. She opens the small box and looks at the simple but beautiful and interesting keychain. "Is this amber?" She looks to her lover.
Naruto nods, "Yes but I didn't buy it. Actually, Shino, he has a big 'insect in amber' collection and I traded him some gym time for one. Then, my friend Tenten, she's from a family of blacksmiths. She learned the trade and decided to make jewelry. She's been doing it since she was probably about twelve. She designs some awesome stuff. Last year she put her designs online and started getting offered crazy money. She decided to make a business of it. I helped her out in the beginning so she was happy to teach me some simple techniques. The keychain itself is made of scraps of metal she had laying around. It was really awesome melting down and shaping the metal."
"I can't believe you did this. I love it!" Her smile is sweet and sincere and brings a blush to Naruto's face. He looks down and opens what looks to be a small garment box. Moving the tissue paper uncovers a pair of fight shorts. Stark white with red flames coming up from the bottom. He lifts them out of the box and is about to rave about how great they are when he sees the second pair. Naruto's beautiful blue eyes go wide. He places the first pair down and takes the second one from the box. "Holy shit!" The background was the same shade of orange as the pair he lost to Hinata. Across the front and sides were paint splashes of all different colors but across the back, that's what is blowing Naruto's mind. Written, in a graffiti print is, Naruto 'The Sage' Uzumaki. "Hinata! How...Where did you get this?"
Her smile is stretched as far as it will go. She's so happy to see Naruto's reaction. She bashfully responds, "I made them."
"Are you serious!?!"
She nods with as much excitement as his words, "I had asked Jiraiya for some input, if you had a nickname or something and he just said, 'Naruto 'The Sage' Uzumaki and that you would explain it to me.
"Hold on, hold on, hold on! Just gimme a second...you made this?"
Once again, Hinata nods with the same amount of excitement as earlier, "I use to sew all the time when I was growing up. I would make me and my sister dresses. After I got the information from Jiraiya, I made a design and had the material made with it. I followed the design of your other pair. Do you like them!?!"
"Hinata! I love them! This is crazy! Did Jiraiya say anything else to you?!?"
She shook her head, still excited and waited for the explanation.
"I started meditating before matches. I became so focused that nothing could break me from my meditation. On top of that, I wasn't getting into as much trouble and maturing a lot more. One of Jiraiya's old friends, Fukasaku, he actually was the one who taught the perv meditation, he made the mistake of calling me that in earshot of Kiba who in turn made sure the announcer was aware of my full name." He looks back down to the colorful shorts, "And the grafitti? What made you go with that?"
Hinata shrugs, "I don't know...Grafitti can be really beautiful but in a rough way." She looks away for a second, the blush rising, "I just thought it suited you."
He shakes his head in awe, "It's really wild. I use to get in trouble on a monthly basis for tagging up the monuments. Heh! Iruka...Mr. Umino. I've known him longer than most anyone else. He use to teach at the elementary school. I would go to school and still have the paint on my hands and clothes just looking for some type of attention. It didn't matter if it was negative. After school, he would drag me to each monument and have me clean them, one after another. When I was done he would take me to Ichiraku's for ramen. I don't know how many times I did that before he realized that I was happier cleaning up a mess that I was going back to an empty room. Even though I was still a handful, Iruka was just the father figure I needed around me. He kept me, somewhat, grounded and sane...and out of as much trouble as possible." His small smile and melancholy expression melts Hinata's heart. She leans forward and kisses her lover. "Thank you, Hinata. These are really, unbelievable."
"You're welcome. I just hope I wasn't too rusty and that they fit."
They each reach for their last presents and exchange them with big smiles. She watches as he unwraps his final gift. Naruto lifts the cover and looks down to the soft looking material. He pulls it out and can finally tell that it's a scarf. "Hinata, this is so nice..." He presses the material against his cheek, "...and so soft." He looks at the knitted fabric then up to his lover, "You really are very talented." He looks back down to his gift, "I love it!"
Hinata smiles brightly, "Thank you...I actually started that one before you had invited me. I knit pretty regularly..."
Her smile slips some and Naruto notices it, "What?"
"N-nothing!"
"Nooo, it's something. Tell me, please..."
"I-I..." She stops to collect herself and her thoughts. Taking a deep breath she continues, "I wasn't sure if I was going to give that to you."
"Why?! I love it!" He looks back down to the fuzzy length of knitted material laying across his lap.
"I had gone to the store to buy orange wool but I went with red because of someone else."
Naruto looks back up with his brows furrowed in confusion, "I don't understand...Is...Did you not make this for me?"
"I made it for you but...it's just..." She takes another deep breath, "When I was little, father would take me along on some of his business meetings. I don't even know where we were but I remember getting swept up in the busy streets and being separated from my attendant, Ko. It was around this time of year because I remember the decorations. I also remember that I didn't think I was going to live to see my birthday which would be the following week...You see, when I got separated I was so scared. I sat in a doorway and cried. That's when I was approached by three boys. They started making fun of my crying but that changed when I looked up at them and they saw my eyes. They said I looked like a ghost and a freak and a monster. I tried to run away from them but instead I ran to a more desolate area where they could continue without witnesses. They started pushing me around and hitting me before throwing me down to the dirt. They tore the ribbon along with my hair from my head. I remember laying with my cheek against the dirt when I saw a blur of yellow and red. This little boy with the brightest yellow hair and wrapped in a long red scarf jumps out. He was so little. I was very small for my age but he was small and younger." A smile forms on her lips, "I remember him yelling, 'Leave her alone you bastards!'" The smile grows with the memory, "I remember the heat of my blush thinking about the words that left such a little boy's mouth. In the end, they beat that little boy up and ran off. I felt so horrible. They took his long red scarf that trailed behind him and tore it apart. I tried so hard to speak to him, to thank him but I was so full of anxiety he was gone before I could form a word. God, how old was I? I think I was about to turn nine. That little blonde boy saved me with no care for his own safety. There's something in that boy that reminds me of you. I think I was subconsciously replacing his scarf."
"You were about to turn ten." The words came with confidence.
Confused, Hinata finally looks up from fidgeting with the small wrapped box to Naruto, chewing the bite he took from his bun. The smile on his face may be the biggest one she's ever seen. "What?"
"You were going on ten because I had just turned six."
She is lightly shaking her head trying to understand his statement.
He chuckles, "Hinata...you were in Konoha. I was that little yellow-haired, foul-mouthed boy." His smile grows again, "You replaced my scarf."
Hinata sits across from him in shock. She finally is able to speak, "You're messing with me..."
"I'm not and I can prove it!" Naruto jumps up to his feet in what seemed like one motion. He takes Hinata's hand and pulls her up. He's moving quickly down the long hall that would lead passed the bathroom and to Jiraiya's room at the far end. She was initially worried that Naruto was going to wake up his godfather until he reaches for a door on the right. He opens it and turns on the light. With a chuckle and a nervous rub to the back of his head, he confesses, "I didn't show you this room. I was worried you couldn't look at me without seeing an immature kid."
Hinata looks around and laughs. He brought her to a game room. It had multiple tv's and gaming systems. Four comfortable looking gaming chairs and a couch for spectators. Anime posters lined the walls where there weren't shelves lined with video games or movies or graphic novels. After allowing Hinata a moment to absorb everything Naruto turns her around to another set of shelves behind them. The shelves were home to trophies of various sizes. "After Jiraiya came into my life and started training me I started competing." He picks up the trophy on the top shelf all the way on the left. "This was my first one."
Unable to see the top shelf, Hinata looks at the first trophy on the second shelf. She begins to turn her head, reading each of the small metal plates at the marble base of the statues. Second Place, Third Place, Champion, Quickest Submission, Most Submissions...
She looks down to the left and continues silently reading, now from the trophies on the bottom shelf. She gets to the last trophy but is unable to read the plate. She reaches forward and with one finger she moves the ribbons to the side. As she reads the engraved print Naruto's smile stretches across his face.
Hinata begins to pull her hand back but when her eyes catch the swaying lavendar ribbons she stills and reaches forward again. She follows the ribbon up. This trophy is topped with two golden men grappling, one of which in a more dominating position. The ribbon was looped around the victor's neck and laced through tangled arms and legs, down the front of the trophy. The loose ends lay across her open palm as she lifts it closer to inspect the old, tattered and dirty, once silky strip of fabric. Her breath gets stuck in her throat at the realization. A whispered, shaky, "Naruto..." leaves her mouth but she hasn't looked back to him.
Naruto walks closer, his attention on his prizes over the years, "Each time I brought home a new trophy it didn't get put on the shelf until that was wrapped around it. It's what pushed me harder, not the scraps of plastic, metal and marble it hung on. They were just stands for what really mattered to me. I wanted to be strong enough to be depended on. Someone others could trust and have faith that I'd keep them safe. Her head is spinning and she stumbles as she takes a step back. Naruto grabs her and pulls her close. He now sees the tears in her eyes, "Hinata, what's wrong?!"
She tightly grips the front of his t-shirt with her free hand, "Nothing. I'm just so happy! I wanted to thank you so badly and I had hoped you were okay and I've thought of you so many times in my life and..Oh, Naruto! Thank you, thank you! You were so little and so brave...I was so worried! I didn't know what happened to you or where you went!" She wraps her arms around his waist and presses her face into his chest. Her body is shaking with her sobs.
Naruto can't help smile, though his vision has blurred slightly. He holds her tightly as one hand weaves into the hair at the back of her head. He places a tender kiss on her crown. "Hinata, look at me." She takes a couple stuttered breaths before looking up to his shimmering bright blues. His hand moves from her hair and cups her cheek, "I was right here, waiting for you." He leans in and kisses her lips lightly. She whimpers as he pulls her back to his chest.
After a minute, Hinata has stilled and Naruto chuckles, "I don't know how many more signs you need before you believe that we're meant for each other."
She pulls back and looks up to her grinning lover. Her blush covers her face and chest as she bites the corner of her lip.
"You going to open that?" Naruto tips his chin and looks to the gift in her hand. He releases her and sits in one of the gaming chairs as she begins to unwrap the last present. She lifts the cover and sees a small, black velvet pouch. She looks up to a smiling Naruto and givea him a suspicious look. She hands him the box and paper before opening the pouch and turning it over into her hand. The silver was shined to a high gloss and the amethyst popped. "I got the idea when I was working at Tenten's. I have a friend in Iwa, Kurotsuchi. She has this massive collection of geodes. I gave her a call and within the week I had received a handful of small rocks." He stands placing the trash in the chair before moving to his starry-eyed lover. "We split them and this was the one. Tenten had me cut that thin slice from the center. We couldn't believe how the circumference resembled a heart." Hinata looks down to the heart-shaped slice of stone in her hand. The center of the flat, polished slice of stone was a deep purple in the center but gradually paled to a pearl white. The array of purples in such the small space of about an inch was breathtaking. "Tenten had some scrap silver so I melted it down and dipped the edge to make a border to connect the bail. The silver chain was mine. I had it since I was young and haven't been able to wear it for a very long time." He takes it from her and unclasps the chain, "May I?"
Hinata smiles, "Yes, please." She turns and waits for him to place it on her chest before pulling her hair out of the way.
"I hoped that the science teacher side of you would appreciate this and the keychain. He closes the clasp and moves her hair back. Hinata turns back to her sunny lover.
"Funny thing is that this is actually the only thing I made that I didn't spend anything on. He looks up from the beautiful stone to her beautiful eyes. "Oh, come with me." They leave the room, shutting the lights and door.
Naruto pulls her into the bathroom and faces her towards the mirror while he stands at her side, facing her. Hinata leans in admiring the stone hanging from the silver chain around her neck, "Naruto, it's beautiful. I love it so much!"
"It's not too much? Too gawdy?"
"Absolutely not! It's not big or loud...It's lovely. The colors are brilliant."
"That's what I wanted to show you. Look right here...that's it." Naruto points to a specific spot in the top left section of the "heart". A spot midway between the darkest purple and the lightest pearl white.
"What is it?" Hinata looks with a furrowed brow into the reflection then down to the stone itself.
"The exact color of your beautiful eyes." He takes her hands in his and her eyes rise as the pendant falls to her soft chest below. Hinata blushes at the way Naruto looks at her. The adoration. Does her gaze say the same? She begins to look away until he stops her and gently pushes her face back up towards his.
"Th-thank you, Naruto. I love my gift." Her hand covers the heart, "All of them. Thank you so much."
Naruto smiles at Hinata as she battles with her emotions, "You're welcome and thank you. My presents were so perfect. You are so amazing, Hinata." He takes her at the base of her neck and pulls her to his mouth.
Between sweet pecks she responds, "You put so much thought and effort into my gifts...you went above and beyond. I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you did for me."
He pulls back and smiles sweetly and his love, "Hinata, I had so much fun these past few weeks. I learned a lot and got to work with some badass tools. It was also a nice reminder of what awesome people I have around me."
Hinata returns his sweet smile as they continue to embrace each other, "You have so many talented and helpful friends..." She grins before continuing, "...so many girls willing to give their time to help you..."
Naruto gives the grin right back, "Are you jealous, Hinata?"
"With so many girls willing to help, I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them was helping for the wrong reason."
"I grew up with Sakura, Ino and Tenten..." He scrunches his face, worried about what he's about to admit, "...For years, I use to have the biggest crush on Sakura..." Naruto peeks down to Hinata who looks up and cocks an eyebrow. "She's been in love with Sasuke for just as long. I realized, a couple of years ago, that I had always wanted all the love and attention Sasuke received from everyone. I finally accepted that I was crushing on Sakura for the same reasons. She's more like a sister than a friend. I'm glad I did because I think Sasuke held off approaching her because of me. They started going with each other right after I admitted it to him. Ino and Kiba kinda have a thing for each other. Heh, she's as crude as he is. She's gonna love you! Tenten...I think she likes Chouji. There's no worry, Hinata. They're all my family. They're very precious to me."
Hinata smiles, "I'm sorry I made you explain that to me. I really didn't think anything of it. You haven't given me any reason to think otherwise."
"Thank you, Hinata." Naruto cradles and places a tender kiss on her lips.
"No, Naruto. Thank you! This has been such a wonderful morning!" Her eyes fill with tears, "I still can't believe I really found that brave little boy!" Hinata presses her face into Naruto's chest and hugs him harder than she ever has. "I don't think I've ever been so happy."
With his cheek pressed against the top of her head, Naruto softly replies, "I know what you mean. This is already my best Christmas ever."
Hinata looks up to Naruto with a happy, loving smile, "And it's only going to get better!" Their lips connect a few more times before they start to exit the bathroom.
Walking at his side, Hinata's arms are still wrapped around Naruto's waist as his arm hangs from around her neck, "Soooo..." He looks down to his goddess and cocks and eyebrow, "...how much time do we have before you need to start cooking?" The hand hanging in front of her reaches a little further and squeezes her breast like he was honking a horn.
Hinata responds through her giggles, "Depends. What time would you like to eat?"
Naruto taps a finger against his lips and with a concentrated look, thinks about it for a few seconds, "I got it!" Hinata's giggles continue again. Her lover's excitement not even held back a little, "I'd like to eat early enough so that I can eat again later and then digest in time for a midnight snack."
Hinata covers her mouth trying to stop the hysterical laughter slipping through as her body folds at the waist. Naruto has a grin spread across his face as Hinata's laughter continues. The longer she laughs the bigger the grin grows. By the time she is composed, the blonde's pearly whites are glowing.
"I'm sorry...you are just too cute, Naruto. You make me laugh so hard it hurts."
"Hinata..." He looks down to her still swaying titties, "...you can laugh at me as much as you like!"
Her blush is instantaneous, "Naruto!" She slaps his arm, playfully, "I have to change before Jiraiya wakes up."
"Awwww!" Naruto's pout is interrupted by a door opening. His frown turns to a devious grin, "Too late." With a smile he turns to his right to look down the hall while he reaches for Hinata, locking her in his embrace. In a low volume she hears, "What the fuck?!" He quickly turns his head in the other direction. Hinata looks up to Naruto in a full blush. She turns to where her lover looked away from and sees a messy-haired blonde woman, rubbing her eyes in a man's dress shirt and nothing else, entering the bathroom.
Hinata giggles, "I guess Jiraiya got lucky."
She looks back up to Naruto and sees a sick look on his face, "Oh, god...please don't say that."
"Are you serious? Is this the first time you've seen your godfather...JIRAIYA...with a woman?"
"THAT'S NOT A WOMAN! THAT'S GRANNY! Oh my god I think I'm gonna be sick!"
Hinata's laughter begins with a snort.
Naruto walks away from the giggles and into the kitchen, heading straight for the sink. He turns on the cold water and splashes it on his face.
"So..." She fights through her giggles not to seem insensitive, "...by the way you're melting down, it's fair to say that this is a new?"
Separated by the center island, Naruto is facing Hinata with a look of utter confusion, "They told me they weren't a couple! I can't believe they lied to me."
Hinata realizes he's serious, "You suspected that they were? You actually asked them?"
"Yep! And they lied straight to my face!"
"Maybe they weren't together at the time...Did you ask them recently?"
"No. He did not." The two look over to the approaching woman.
"Oh my god!" Naruto turns away, leaning against the counter with the women behind him. "What the fuck!"
Hinata takes in the older but very beautiful and youthful looking woman. She had taken the time to tame her wild locks while in the bathroom. A few inches of cleavage are on display and even though the masculine cut of Jiraiya's large dress shirt hung loosely around her, it was obvious that she was braless and just as gifted as the younger woman. She was tall and thanks to the lack of pants, Hinata, not wanting to stare, got a glimpse of her long, toned legs.
"Watch your mouth, brat!" While walking towards Hinata she sneers at Naruto, who never saw the look. Her face morphs to a playful, happy smile when she faces the younger woman and pulls her in for a hug tighter than any Naruto has given her. "I was hoping to meet you with a little more clothes on but, oh well." She pulls back, still holding on to Hinata's upper arms. "I've heard so much about you! I'm Tsunade."
Hinata scrunches her brow at the now familiar woman and then is hit with it. Her eyes go wide, "Tsu-...Oh my gosh! Madame Governor?"
"Oh, please don't." She waves the title off, "That was a few years ago. It's just Tsunade." She look over to the back of Naruto's head, "So, you going to tell her when you asked us or should I?"
They can't make out the younger blonde's grumbling.
"Fine!" Tsunade looks back to Hinata, "He asked us the first time he saw us together. How old were you, brat?! Ten...eleven?"
"It doesn't matter! Do you remember what you said to me?" He still won't turn around, "You said Jiraiya had been chasing you since you were kids and that you weren't about to be caught by the likes of him! Do you remember that!?!"
Tsunade's loudly laughs as Hinata's giggles accompany her, "I remember, Naruto. What can I say? He finally caught me..."
"After all this time?!"
"Oh, my sweet, simple brat...it's not a new development."
Naruto accidentally looks over with his eyes wide then quickly turns away, "Are you kidding me!? How long?!"
"Long enough...does it really matter at this point?"
"Were you together when I asked?"
"I'll put it this way, we weren't in a relationship, we were just-"
"DON'T SAY IT!"
"Enjoying each other's company."
"Why didn't you guys tell me?"
"We agreed that it was more important to focus on you than it was to focus on a relationship. You mattered more to us than anything else." Hinata smiles at the loving sentiment while Naruto keeps his back to the two women. "Now, cut the crap and let me take in your beauty here...My, Jiraiya wasn't kidding...you are stunning!" She chuckles, "I knew when you were an infant that you would be a boob man!...You and Sakura would have never lasted."
"GRANNY!...Hinata's a lot more than just boobs!"
Tsunade looks back to a blushing Hinata, "I can see that...she's got an ass on her too!" She winks at the younger woman, signaling her teasing.
Hinata giggles again, this time causing Naruto to turn in her direction to face the melody.
"So, brat, are you going to give me a kiss and wish me a Merry Christmas?"
"Nope!"
"Naruto! That's not very nice..."
"Hinata, I'm not looking at her until she puts some clothes on!"
"Okay, calm down." She looks back to Hinata, "I hope it's not a problem but Jiraiya invited me to Christmas dinner."
"Pfft, Christmas dinner...you're a little early!"
Hinata shoots Naruto a reprimanding look then returns her gaze the Tsunade, "Of course it's not a problem! I'm so happy to get to meet and speak with someone so precious to Naruto."
Tsunade, smiling, looks to the young man and his red face, "Naruto is very precious to me, as well." His blush deepens as he fights off a happy smile. "Now, I think I may go back to bed for a little bit longer. I'll be sure to be dressed properly the next time I emerge." She turns and heads back to Jiraiya's bedroom. "If your godfather isn't awake by noon I'll be sure to get him up." Over her shoulder, she torments, "Hmm, it is Christmas, maybe I'll wake him up in that special way he likes so much." She laughs hearing Naruto's groaning and cursing as she closes Jiraiya's bedroom door.
"Naruto? Are you okay?"
He turns towards his love with a smile, "l'm good."
"Why is this bothering you?"
"Can you keep a secret?" His mouth now holding a small grin, "It's not. Don't get me wrong, it was a shocker to find out this way but...when I was a kid and asked them that question, I was kinda bummed at the answer. I remember hoping that I was getting a "mom", too." Naruto makes air quotes. "Just because I'm happy about it doesn't mean I'm not gonna mess with 'em."
Hinata smiles seeing the happiness in his shimmering blue eyes. She throws her arms around Naruto's neck and pulls him down for a kiss. "Most of the side dishes are done. So, I was thinking. How about we, after I put the turkey into the oven, try out my fizzy bath soak?"
The blonde looks down to his dark-haired beauty biting her bottom lip. Her cheeks pinken and her pussy pulses as Naruto licks his lips like he was looking down at his Christmas feast.
