*Continuing from chapter 13


(N) Mistiming

Sasuke knocks on Kakashi's door hostilely, still sweltering inside with intense rage after his fight with Naruto. He's eager to be done with this meeting so he can take some action before Naruto puts his hooks into Hinata.

When Kakashi opens the door he stomps past him.

"Well it's good to see you too," Kakashi says casually though sensing the distress looming over Sasuke.

He wipes his mouth and turns around "That fucking bastard thinks he can take my wife."

He replies softly as he closes the door "Firstly calm down, your adrenaline is still pumping so just take a seat."

Sasuke reluctantly does as he's told then Kakashi walks in front of him.

"Did you not even notice that you're bleeding from your head?" Kakashi says as he walks off in a hurry.

Sasuke grits his teeth and his anger flares more when he rubs the blood between his fingertips.

'How dare that fucker draw so much blood' he thinks.

Kakashi returns with a first aid kit and a cold compress to stop the bleeding on his scalp. As he presses on the wound Sasuke's body fills with even more rage wishing he had ended the problem that is standing in the way of him and his wife.

Then a cold shiver runs down his spine as he realizes that his deeply compassionate wife didn't so much as send a text to find out if he's ok though by now she must know he's hurt. He becomes frantic as he thinks she must be with Naruto tending to him instead, he's running out of time.

Kakashi notices the panicky body language and gives Sasuke the compress to press on his head himself while he carefully tends to the cuts on his heavily bruised and swollen face.

After he's finished treating Sasuke's wounds he tells him to use the compress to get down the swelling and pain while he grabs two glasses and a drink for their conversation.

Kakashi tries to get him to run through the series of events that have happened leading up to this fight but Sasuke is not up for much talking and deliberately omits details while placing emphasis on what he feels is the major problem blocking his success, which is Naruto.

"Why would you choose to embarrass yourself like that?"

Sasuke scoffs feeling incensed that he didn't get to reduce Naruto to a pulp.

Kakashi sighs "You have to be very careful about how you conduct yourself, a good attorney can easily use this to say you have anger issues which can pose a risk to Hinata."

He bows his head to the table "I didn't think of that," he replies softly rubbing his forehead.

"Did you even consider how this would affect her? You know she doesn't like violence," Kakashi's response was stern.

Sasuke mutters "I know…"

"But I saw him kissing her and she didn't even try to push him away. She just stood there enjoying it" Sasuke says as he presses the compress hard into his face.

"I know that must be painful but-"

Sasuke interrupts quickly with sad eyes "Like hell it was."

"Kakashi she doesn't call me, she doesn't listen to me, Hina barely looked at me when I went to her. To see her kissing that asshole-" he hisses in dismay unable to finish as his mind muddles with resentment.

Kakashi sighs "Well it sounds like you're getting what you deserve, I'm sure Hinata felt just as undesirable as you do now when you were seeing that other woman."

Sasuke glares at him and drops the compress "He's the only reason she's being this stubborn, he's the only reason she's being this cold. If she never met him-"

Kakashi interrupts him "I think you're focusing on the wrong thing."

Sasuke scoffs and takes a sip of his drink "I'm telling you, he's the problem, I need to get him the fuck away from her. He's the one filling her head with crap and poisoning her against me."

He replies sternly "No he's not, I don't think you realize just how much pain you've caused your wife."

Sasuke slams his hand on the table now vexed that Kakashi is continuing to disagree with his theory. He figures that Hinata would never leave him on her own after she's been waiting for him at home for weeks.

His temper elevates and he gets up as he feels the unwanted tears coming and he wipes his face harshly wanting his rage to billow to not show any weakness in his already pitiful state.

Kakashi watches him attentively but stays silent as he paces around the room.

Sasuke breathes deeply "I won't lose her Kakashi, I won't let him take her because I love her… And she can't think clearly with him in her ear."

Kakashi replies softly "Stop with this pessimistic mindset, you aren't giving your relationship enough credit. Even if she has developed feelings for this man it won't replace the ones she has for you so soon."

He gulps in doubt of Kakashi's attempt at reassurance as his fear eats away at his hope and Kakashi begins to dig deeper to find out the source of his graying outlook.

He adds calmly "Tell me something, how have you been handling Hinata leaving?"

Sasuke grits his teeth and hisses under his breath not wanting to open up like he did last time. He has no interest in hearing how bad it needs to get before things get better when Hinata has already started to throw herself at Naruto.

"I really don't have time for this," he replies and starts moving towards the door.

Kakashi quickly runs over and grabs his arm "I get the feeling that you're allowing this fear to consume you again and we need to discuss how you handle it."

Sasuke turns and glares at him heatedly "I took your advice and I apologized to her, and you know what she did that night? She asked for a divorce." he replies solemnly.

"Well I never said it would be easy, but you just have to approach this with care and in time-"

Sasuke scoffs interrupting him "I'm done giving her time, I'm won't give her space either. So if that's what you're about to preach we're done talking."

He pulls away from Kakashi's hand and takes out his phone, and when Kakashi sees that he's blinking less as he searches the web he sighs feeling deeply concerned.

"Sasuke you aren't handling your negative emotions properly, don't let the feelings of anger and sadness override your logic."

Sasuke shakes his head and his jaw pulses as he ignores him.

Kakashi continues "I know that something is prompting this impulsiveness and it needs to be discussed. I don't know where you got the idea that this weight is something you need to carry on your own."

He begins to get irritated but replies calmly "Kakashi you're happily married, you have no idea how I feel so spare me the philosophical crap."

Kakashi can tell that he is holding back but nothing he says is getting through. Sasuke has already made up his mind but he continues to attempt to steer the conversation.

"Will you just think for a moment? You can't afford to make another mistake right now."

Sasuke sighs and wipes away the tear falling from his eye.

"I'm done enduring, so just save it," he responds adamantly.

Kakashi rubs his head "What are you even planning to do?"

Sasuke walks over to the glass on the table and swallows the liquor.

He replies intently "She wants me to talk to a lawyer so I will."

Kakashi shakes his head slowly feeling shocked that Sasuke isn't even willing to listen. As he rubs his chin he responds.

"Please tell me you aren't as scatterbrained to do what I think you're about to."

Sasuke posits quickly "What am I supposed to do just stand by and watch him take her? Fuck that."

"Just listen to me-"

He interjects "I listened to your advice last time and it landed me in a pile of shit. I'm sorry Kakashi, but I'm done listening."

Kakashi grips his shoulder and replies warningly "I know it feels like the world is ending but this is your chance to put Hinata first, don't blow it by doing something hasty or else you won't be able to come back from it."

Sasuke takes note of Kakashi's concerned expression but he's unable to process anything else as his desperate heart bleeds. He feels that if he doesn't get her back the pain in his chest will never go away.

"I'm putting our marriage first, since she won't then I will. I'll fight for her until my last breath."

Kakashi rubs his forehead "This isn't the right way to go about fixing your union."

"If it gives me more time to get through to her then it'll be worth it," Sasuke responds indignantly.

Kakashi continues to try to calm him down but he feels that he might as well have stayed silent, everything he says just goes through one ear and out the other. Sasuke can't accept losing the only person he calls family after being without one for so many years and is allowing this fear to feed his anger and irrationality.

Kakashi folds his arms and gives him a disapproving glare.

"You know Hinata is no fool she will keep looking and eventually she will find out what you've done, then you'll be in more trouble than you think."

Sasuke glances blankly at him from his side profile and places the phone to his ear.

He replies smoothly "And by then we'll be fine. I know she loves me, I know it. I just need some time to remind her that I love her too."

"Why do you expect it to be so simple? This isn't the right way to go about this. Will you just listen to me," Kakashi begs.

But after his pleas go unheard he rubs his head, there is nothing he can say that will overpower Sasuke's desperation.

A few minutes go by and Kakashi becomes even more disappointed when he overhears the agreement he makes with several different persons.

He begins to walk out of the room when Sasuke places his next call on hold and turns to him.

He requests kindly "I'm trusting you Kakashi, please don't tell her. I took your advice before, now let me try this my way."

Kakashi sighs and expresses his disapproval but confirms that he'll keep Sasuke's secret for a while. Though he does this he plans to continue urging Sasuke to discuss his change in behavior in hopes to discover the root of his problem. Right now Sasuke is far too agitated to listen and needs to blow off some steam.

The Next Night

Hinata finishes up her final touches while on face time with Ten Ten and Ino, who jokingly tease her to pull down the lining of the cowl collar of her elegant halter bodycon that is emphasizing her definitions perfectly.

As she puts on her necklace a text pops up on the screen from Naruto telling her that he's parked outside. Her friends wish for her to have a good time and she quickly grabs her things to meet up with her date.

When Hinata gets to the parking lot she stops in her tracks and bites her lips when she sees Naruto posted against his car. He cleans up well, he's clean shaven and looks astonishingly suave and dapper in his suit.

As she strolls toward him while he looks the other way, her eyes soften and she shyly bows to hide her growing smile from seeing the orchid in his hand. Then Naruto glances over and eases up from his car, his eyes widen and he gulps as he sees her, she looks even more stunning than she did the night they met.

"Damn, you look amazing," he whispers in her ear as he pulls her close.

She replies softly "So do you."

Naruto embraces her and opens the passenger door then gives her the flower.

"Am I getting close?" he asks still not knowing what her favorite flower is.

Hinata kisses his cheek and replies warmly "Very."

Right as she enters the car Hinata is hit with a pleasant scent and she smiles and watches Naruto eagerly as he comes to the driver's side. When he starts the ignition she holds his hand.

"You got a new air freshener."

Naruto replies smoothly "Yeah, it reminds me of you."

She blushes and he pecks her on the cheek before backing out.

Hinata's stomach fills with butterflies, feeling flattered that he's this fond of her, though it also reminds her of how much Sasuke couldn't get enough of her fragrance too.

They arrive at the restaurant and Naruto deliberately requested a table a bit more secluded so Hinata won't feel too timid being with him in public. A few minutes go by as they sit and look through the menu while questioning each other about what they'll have, then they eventually agree to try something exotic.

As Naruto gives the waiter their order Hinata's phone rings and her tone quickly becomes serious moments after.

She sighs while ending the call and Naruto notices the distress in her expression as her brows furrow.

He leans in close "Is everything ok?"

She looks at him somberly "It's my attorney… He won't draft my petition."

"Did he say why?" he asks as he holds her shoulder.

"No, he didn't explain at all, just that a matter of interest came up and he can no longer honor my request."

He embraces her "I'm sorry, do you want me to-"

"No!" she interrupts quickly and forcefully pulls away.

She doesn't want to rush her divorce while still tied to her father's arrangement and needs an attorney who will ensure they won't expose that she's filing before getting her affairs in order. Moreover, she won't allow Naruto's livelihood to be affected by her father's wrath in any way.

Naruto looks at her confused and she apologizes for being so abrupt.

"I-I'm sorry, It's just that I don't want you to have to deal with this, I can handle it on my own."

He sighs feeling worried by her reaction "Are you sure? Because my friend will be back in town in just a week."

She nods and smiles warmly "I am, but thank you for offering."

As he embraces her she bites her lips enjoying his touch then suddenly, he feels her body become numb. He looks at her puzzled as she begins to slowly leave his arms, and as he tries to pull her close again she bows her head.

He glances over to his right and sees that people have started glaring at them and snickering, though he doesn't have the least bit of care about what they're thinking he can see that it bothers Hinata extremely.

He tries to take her hand "Blu it's ok, I'm right here."

She doesn't respond and continues to fold, feeling too exposed and now considering to leave. Their cold stares are ripping into her and her mind races with hurtful opinions of herself.

Just as she's about to get up their order arrives but Naruto's eyes stay fixed on Hinata as he thinks of how to relieve her discomfort.

He cups her chin "Your food will get cold if you keep this up."

"I'm not that hungry," she replies softly while moving his hand away.

He comes a little closer "You can't let people stop you from eating, we aren't doing anything, so don't worry about what anyone else thinks."

"M-Maybe we sh-should just go?" she asks timorously.

He runs his hand through his hair as he thinks about what to do next.

"You can't let other people's opinion of you dictate how you live Blu, it's unhealthy."

She glances at him but stays silent and Naruto continues his attempt to get her to overlook their gazes but no matter what he says she fidgets and keeps her head down, refusing to eat.

She'd hoped that being in a more private restaurant would give her some confidence but it hasn't helped at all, and she squeezes Naruto's thigh under the table hinting that she wants to leave.

Now aware that his words aren't reaching he looks over to the patrons lazily as he takes a bite, then leans back in his chair and lets out a loud unhindered belch that could be heard on the other side of the restaurant.

He clears his throat and grins at them then speaks flippantly.

"It can come out the other end too."

The vulgar act in the fine establishment makes Hinata clutch her mouth and stare at him wide eyed. However, the joyful frivolity of his expression makes her unexpectedly burst into a fit of laughter and he relieves her even more by gesturing that he'll release another one.

As she presses her hands harder to muffle her glee she soon realizes that everyone else started laughing loudly as well as a result of Naruto's mannerism. She feels relieved as the icy glares turn into indifferent glances as the conversations move on to Naruto's act.

He takes her hand and rubs the back of it with his thumb "See, people are fickle their thoughts change like the weather, so don't let their opinions bother you it really doesn't matter."

She nods at him and smiles brightly and soon afterward Hinata starts blushing. She can overhear compliments and people gushing as they refer to her and Naruto as cute as well as better off.

However, Naruto continues eating and conversing with Hinata casually, oblivious to what everyone else is saying but he holds her hand assuming that she was getting flustered for some other reason.

"This isn't so bad right?" he asks.

She smiles fondly then replies affirmatively and the night continues smoothly for almost an hour as they talk and tease each other casually now fully enraptured in only their conversation.

He orders dessert for her and Hinata's eyes beam from having something to satisfy her sugar craving but soon she begins to lament about putting on weight.

Naruto discreetly looks her over and bites his lips, he genuinely disagrees with her concern, as even if she does she'd still look unbelievable.

"I don't get what you're saying but if it'll bother you I can get you a membership at my friend's gym across town."

Hinata smiles softly "As long as it's not the one that hands out those tacky green jumpsuits."

Naruto arches a brow jocosely as his smile stretches across his face.

"Please don't tell me," she adds covering her mouth.

He nods slowly "But don't let him hear you say that. You see, his uniform is essential to his power."

Hinata laughs loudly tilting her head back "Right, how does he even stay in business?"

"What can I say Lee knows his stuff, people from all over sign up for his training," he answers confidently.

"So what your saying is… You have one of those jumpsuits?"

A sweat ticks down his forehead as he thinks of the suit he has in his trunk.

He scratches the back of his head and chuckles nervously "I uh well, the thing is-"

She giggles interrupting his excuse and gives him a cheeky glance "I'd love to see you in it one day, maybe then I'll take my chances."

While waiting for their dessert Naruto clasps one of her hands between both of his and kisses it, enjoying her ecstatic expression as she shares her excitement for the sweet treat being prepared. He joins in her elation then suddenly his gaze turns fiery when he glances at the entrance.

"Oh boy," he says tepidly, letting go of her hand.

He springs to his feet quickly and though Hinata looks at him bewildered his eyes stay locked on behind her. When she's just about to stand she sees a fist wisp past her.

"I said stay the fuck away from her!" Sasuke yells as he flings a thump destined for Naruto's head.

Naruto weaves away then smirks and Hinata now panicked goes between them trying to diffuse the situation when Naruto pulls her close.

"Wait in the car," he says in her ear.

Sasuke lashes out when Hinata starts turning towards Naruto from him holding her waist.

He clocks a nimble hook to his jaw "Take your hand off my wife!"

"Sasuke stop!" she yells.

He ignores her and lunges at Naruto filled with anger from the blatant disrespect of him taking his wife out on a date.

The two men begin exchanging hard blows, tenderizing each other's faces again and knocking over tables while lobbing objects and insults at each other as they brawl.

Soon blood drips from the two robustly built men and being unable to intervene Hinata's anxiety spikes and her throat tightens. She screams for them both to stop but they continue their assault nonetheless, seething with hatred for one another.

After a flurry of punches from Sasuke's quick hands, Naruto dodges a deadly right hook and uppercuts him in the neck returning the zinger from yesterday.

As he gags Naruto kicks him in the torso sending him crashing down to the floor holding his throat and gasping for air.

Hinata becomes frantic when she remembers Naruto's vow to 'fuck him up', and when she sees him stepping in Sasuke's gut as he struggles to breathe she instinctively prepares to protect her husband.

She begrudgingly moves forward but security swoops in and grabs both men and escorts them out of the establishment. Meanwhile the two get thrown out, she turns around and collects her and Naruto's belongings now feeling embarrassed to be the cause of such a detestable scene.

The guards pull both men to different ends of the parking lot before leaving and Hinata quickly runs over to Naruto when she exits the restaurant.

"We should go," she says softly.

Naruto agrees and they quickly walk over to his car but as she approaches the passenger side he follows behind her when he sees Sasuke heading towards them.

He cuts him off and Sasuke spits on him.

"Move!"

While lifting a fist Naruto grits his teeth ready to raise hell when Hinata clings to the back of his jacket and softly tells him to not engage again. She doesn't want any more attention on them.

Naruto sighs quelling his anger and drops his hand "Why don't you back the fuck up."

Sasuke's nose flares but when he notices his wife's somber expression as she bows he cools down and unclenches his fist so as to not make her feel more uncomfortable.

He wipes his face then stretches an open palm for her to take hold.

"Let's go home," he requests calmly with wistful eyes.

She looks at him nervously as his eyes soften but Naruto having sensed some hesitation uses his hand to gently push her behind him to conceal her from Sasuke.

"She's coming with me," he sneers.

Naruto turns around and opens the door for Hinata and Sasuke vigorously rubs his hands down his face when he sees her about to step inside.

Now frustrated he inhales deeply and with a furiously powerful hook he bashes his fist into Naruto's head, using every ounce of force he could muster, knocking him out cold when his head smacks on his car.

Naruto falls to the ground and Sasuke smirks as he clutches his aching fist with his other hand.

Hinata freezes instantly as she clasps her hands over her mouth while looking down at Naruto. She quickly bends to help him up but Sasuke grips her wrist and yanks her away, dragging her behind him towards his car.

"Let go!" she yells while struggling to free her wrist.

She looks back at Naruto still motionless on the ground and starts to tear up.

"Sasuke stop I have to check on him," she adds.

He ignores her but his eyes haze as she begs him to release her in order to tend to another man.

When they get close to his car Hinata plants her feet firmly on the ground, crouching with her back curved and tugging her hand with the other. It increases the difficulty for him to drag her along but he yanks on her hand until she budges again.

Desperate to help Naruto, she whimpers "Please let me go I need to see if-"

He turns around and grabs her by her shoulders now worried that she'll fall and scrape her knees as she continues to resist his pull.

He shakes her "YOU'RE MY WIFE!"—he sighs then softens his tone—"…Come home with me."

Sasuke cups her chin and looks into her eyes "I can't live without you, don't let him take you from me."

"I don't want this anymore," she replies warily as she looks into his.

He responds softly as he gently holds her hands "Don't you think this guy is chronically single for a reason? He doesn't want a family."

She sighs feeling disheartened not having ever considered that possibility.

"But we still can… Remember how excited we were? We can finally do that," he continues.

While brushing her bang from her eyes he smiles "Let's give this another shot I'm begging you, let's rebuild our life together."

She's rattled for a second and swallows feeling confused, now considering how simpler things can be if she just gives in to her husband's distress. However, she remembers that if she does then he'll eventually push her away again.

If she stays it would be convenient to not have to worry about her father but she doesn't want to have to deal with her husband's struggle anymore.

Hinata licks her lips and prepares to let him down when she hears Naruto call out to her. She turns slightly and sees him getting up and quickly pulls away from Sasuke's hands.

It feels like time moves in slow motion as Sasuke watches her compassion kick into overdrive as she runs over and gets on her knees to assist the man who is tearing her away from their future together.

He glares at Naruto heatedly and thinks of him as a blood sucking tick latching himself onto his wife. He needs to figure out how to make them break apart so their connection can't grow any more than it already has.

While thinking of his next plan his heart tears as the palpitations become erratic. He watches on stunned and teary eyed as Hinata helps Naruto into his car before they drive off, leaving him embarrassed and rejected.


As Naruto pulls up to Hinata's apartment he apologizes for what happened and she uses the antiseptic wipe to clean the last bit of blood from his face and caresses his cheek.

"It's not your fault," she assures sweetly, but is vexed by Sasuke's reckless interruption.

He offers to walk her to her door and as they do their hands link together. Though their evening has been disturbed they still enjoyed the little peace they had in public for the first time.

They stand in front of her flat and she leans him to tell him goodnight.

With his head throbbing Naruto's mind clouds as the adrenaline continues to pump through him. Though she's filled with concupiscence from their date she knows Naruto's concern but after another of Sasuke's attacks his control starts to wane, he wants to end the bond she still has with her husband completely.

As she gives him a tender kiss he decides to throw caution to the wind.

When she turns to go inside he steps forward and holds her by the waist. He gently brings himself inside and spins her around then braces her against the wall beside her entrance table.

"Do you want me tonight?" he asks alluringly.

Hinata's eyes widen as her face turns scarlet, she folds her lips and timidly nods in response.

He traps her with his hands on each side and presses his body onto hers.

"I need a clearer answer than that," he brings his lips close to her ear and whispers seductively "Do you need me tonight?"

All of a sudden she feels a surge of heat in between her thighs, his breath feels warm on her shivering body and his voice is soft and soothing in her ear. She knows exactly what he meant.

She gulps and whispers "I-I do."

Now having verbal confirmation Naruto takes her in his arms and entangles his tongue with hers, hungrily claiming her lips without warning. As they suction together deeply, the unchaste sensation takes hold rushing their judgment and Hinata nudges her heels off as they prepare to give in to the desire that's been held back for so long.

Hinata locks the door and when Naruto lifts her up she graciously opens her legs and wraps them around his waist, allowing him to position comfortably between her thighs.

She kisses his neck while pushing her chest onto his and Naruto keeps her positioned on the wall, then moves her hair behind her and strokes her neck with his tongue, as he nibbles on her skin it makes a delightful tingle course throughout her body.

As his soft lips caress her skin she couldn't take it anymore she needs the feeling elsewhere. She pulls the straps of her dress from her shoulders revealing her bra which Naruto doesn't hesitate to undo.

He licks his lips and swallows the drool as he watches her sumptuous lumps heave with anticipation and Hinata whimpers with excitement when she feels his tongue glide over a nipple. He squeezes her ass tightly and burrows his face in her bosom, gently sucking on her flesh while swirling his tongue around each nipple making them stiffen to a peak.

With her back arched she grips his hair to hide the fact that her hands are shaking, but Naruto disregards it when he sees her biting her lips hard, almost on the brink of drawing blood in a bid to contain her moans as she enjoys the fluttering feeling in her chest.

He pulls her down a bit and Hinata can feel the heat building below as his swollen cock throbs while rubbing suggestively against her soaking panties.

Goosebumps wash over every inch of their bodies and she quickly starts unbuttoning his shirt.

"Are we really doing this?" she murmurs softly.

"I'll fuck you all night," he purrs then captures her lips once again, twisting their tongues together.

As Hinata undoes the last button Naruto tosses his shirt to the floor and begins to go on his knees, keeping her propped up against the wall with his hands.

Her heart pounds faster when he shifts away her panties and when she feels his tongue slowly sliding along her slit her stomach coils and Hinata moans loudly from overstimulation.

Then there is a hard bang on the door which briefly pulls them out of the moment.

They both look at each other and after a second or two Naruto spreads her dewy folds with his lips and sinks his tongue inside her wetness feeling the tight grip that has been begging for release for weeks.

Her slot is warm and gooey as it clamps tightly around his tongue making Naruto's cock ache with lustful yearning as it throbs against his zipper. While slurping and sucking her pussy he feels her thighs spasm on his shoulders as she revels in the utterly rapturous sensation, squeezing her breasts and rubbing his head.

Soon Naruto plunges his tongue deeper, wanting to savor the sapid fluids that are leaking from her juicy opening.

She pants harder from feeling his slicked tongue rubbing along her walls then her eyes flicker when he hits her sweet spot sending her to the gates of nirvana and making several gaspy moans escape her breathless lungs.

Quickly after a steady spate of thuds beat against the door and Hinata yells for the person to go away, thinking it's a room attendant.

She jolts in shock as a cold streak runs down from her chest when she hears her husband's voice call out to her, breaking the steamy atmosphere for her completely.

Naruto is still willing to carry on regardless but sighs and withdraws his tongue when he feels her body stiffen and he carefully puts her on her feet. She bows her head feeling disappointed but he soon realizes that they were about to indulge for the wrong reason.

This isn't how he planned for their date to go and doesn't want such a disastrous evening to mar their first time sharing their passion. He wants her when her feelings for Sasuke have been completely wearied and she's without confliction.

He walks away to pick up his shirt and she apologizes while pulling up her dress. The knocking continues but Naruto holds her and squeezes her from behind then kisses her ear.

"It's not your fault."

He goes into the other room and Hinata quickly fixes her dress and hair so as to not look suspect about what had been happening.

She opens the door and Sasuke's brows knot as he inspects his wife keenly, when his eyes catch a glimpse of a proud hickey she didn't notice he easily discerns that he's interrupted something salacious.

He steps towards her and before Hinata can blast him for hunting her down he asks calmly.

"Where is he?"


Hope you enjoyed the read!

Cheers if you read both chapters, the exasperation in this should help squash any sorrow you may have endured from the other one lol.
