Outside The Uzukage Office
It had been a hard two weeks of travel for the Konoha shinobi as they tried to make their way to the budding village. Upon arrival to Uzu, shock began to set in as a multitude of emotions washed over them when the village came into view. The construction efforts of the village were going a lot faster than they ever thought possible. Large buildings and structures were in place, streets were paved in cobblestone, and there was a bustling market place where many people gathered for shopping and dining. Even through the ocean air you could smell the local cuisine coming from the shore. As they departed the boat and were escorted past the post station they felt a sense of home in the village. Then they knew what it was as they passed through the streets toward the Uzukage Tower. The place was set up almost identical to Konoha. The shops were different, and the construction style was different, but the overall layout was similar. They felt that if they were not being escorted they could have likely found everything in the village on their own.
Standing in front of the door to the Uzukage's office was a little nerve racking as they were about to meet a person whom they'd only heard about. This man had taken over an entire island that had been destroyed, was rebuilding the village, and had done so in such a short amount of time. Even all the villagers seemed happy and cared about their new found home. How great can a man be if he would be interested in smut books, Tenten thought as she eyed the worn brown package that Neji was holding to his side.
They had debated the entire journey about giving the Uzukage the book and come to an agreement multiple times for one way or another. But they decided that they would follow Shikamaru's advice and do as he asked. After all it was Shikamaru and he could tell a lot about a person and how to handle situations. There must have been a good reason that he thought the Uzukage would want this book.
A few minutes after knocking on the Uzukage's door they finally heard a voice from within, "Enter". A single word that would denote authority, but the voice was young and sounded as though the person was in anticipation. They entered the room and it was an almost identical match for the Hokage's office back in Konoha, with the exception of an additional desk. They walked forward after closing the door behind them to stand in front of where the Uzukage was sitting. He was dressed as a Kage normally would be; with a cloak that would suggest his standing within the community. On top of his head he wore a Kage hat with the kanji for whirlpool displayed in the front. His face was more peculiar as he wore a mask that covered it from his nose down; the only things visible were his blue eyes. A woman stood to his left just behind him, wearing a light purple dress and a veil that kept many of her features hidden. Her eyes and facial structure were still indiscernible even though they knew she could see them perfectly well. The woman, who must be his wife, was also noticeably pregnant as she was showing and to most people she looked to be around three months in.
Neji took the initiative and spoke for the both of them as they introduced themselves while bowing. "Uzukage-sama, my name is Neji Hyuga, and this is Tenten. We are here on an assignment at your request to be political diplomats and liaisons between our two lands. It is an honor to meet you and your wife sir". As if a nervous twitch started in his body, Neji brought the package forward and presented it to the Uzukage. "This is a gift for you. We were told that you would appreciate something like this by the shinobi that came here before us".
Trying his hardest not to laugh at the nervousness of his two friends standing before him, he reached across his desk and took the package. "Please call me Minato for now. This is my wife Suki and we are happy that you have travelled all this way in an effort to not only strengthen ties between Uzu and Konoha, but to help us in rebuilding this once great village". Naruto was struggling with himself on these whole proper mannerisms, it was not like him and Hinata usually played the role of propriety when handling affairs of this nature. He opened up the bag to see what Shikamaru had sent and he didn't fail in getting back at Naruto for making his trip here troublesome. Inside was a book that Naruto knew all too well about. Not removing it from the bag he noticed it was a title that he knew never existed before. Then he looked at the author and realized it was so important for it to be sent to him. His old sensei had taken it upon himself to continue the work of the sage he was so fond of. A slight chuckle escaped his stoic demeanor; it was already on the verge of breaking anyways, as he passed the bag with the book off to Hinata.
Hinata was curious as to what Naruto was giggling over she looked inside and saw the book. In all honesty she was not shocked to see it, as she had seen the ones that Naruto already had and they were signed copies like this one. The only difference is the author had changed to that of Kakashi-senpai. She had read them after getting over the embarrassing thought of it and actually enjoyed the story and plot line of the novels. When Naruto asked her about the smut scenes and what she thought of those, she would simply say that she skipped those parts, but in truth she actually liked them just as much as the rest of the book. She took the book from the bag and actually started reading it lightly to get a good idea of hot it might compare to Jiraiya's. When she looked up at her cousin and Tenten they were looking at her as if she had grown a second head and it made her blush a little. So much about her had changed since leaving Konoha, and she was not nearly as shy or nervous about such matters any longer.
Clearing his throat Naruto grabbed the attention back from the new arrivals. "Please pull up some chairs as we will be here awhile to discuss your roll in this village as shinobi of Konoha." Waiting for them to do so he continued, "Aside from what your mission briefing has given to you, you probably know very little about this village. Its founding, and its history are covered in mystery and you will learn more about it as you stay here. For now I will only sum up the village with a single word, and I want you to think about it and take it to heart. Peace. The entire reason behind everything we do here is for peace. Can you tell me what this word means to you?"
Neji thought for a second before answering, "It is a mutual understanding or agreement between people or organizations that result in shared benefits."
Nodding he then recognized Tenten, "And you?"
Having the extra moment to ponder she spoke up, "A time in which conflict is not seen or felt by those in a peaceful state".
"That is exactly what I expected to hear from a politician and business person. There is a deeper root to it though. That root can only be found by looking for the cause of peace. What causes peace to take hold in the land?"
Quick to get the philosophical lesson over with Neji answered, "An agreement of the people in the land".
"I'm asking you to think outside of the box for the definition. This is more felt than thought of," Naruto said urging the two along.
Quick to pick up on it Tenten gave her opinion, "An agreement can never be reached if emotions are not rooted with a driving force behind it. There has to be kindness and compassion, an understanding of each other on a level that goes beyond just aggression," then a scene played out in her head. It was a scene she fought hard to forget as it held one of the greatest times of despair she had ever known. It was of their long lost friends falling over a cliff and dying in each other's arms. The act wasn't what caught her attention this time but the sound of Naruto's last words that rang in her ears. In an almost whisper she said, "Find peace through love".
Naruto knew what she said; even though it was low he asked again, "What was it you just said?"
A little louder she explained herself, "Love, you find peace through all those things I said before but its strongest root is love. Even if it is not returned at that moment, or may not be for some time, they may even if they despise you. Love can blossom still in their hearts and peace again can be restored".
As a smile spread across his face, even though the mask covered it, it was still noticeable. "There may be hope for you yet. That is what I like to hear. It may have taken a while but my wife has taught me that very important lesson". He looked up at Hinata and even through the veil he noticed her eyes were moist with tears, Naruto was just not sure whether it was from his words or just being able to see her cousin again. Looking back at the two sitting in front of him, "That is how this village is prospering now. There is a deep seated root of love for the village by every villager that calls this place home. That emotion in and of itself has spread through them and has blossomed into everything you mentioned before. We live here free of others oppression and by our own will. No one here is a slave to another and that brings us to another matter. Neji-san, please stand for me".
At this there was a palpable tension in the air from everyone but Naruto. Even Hinata was trying to figure out what Naruto had planned. Even though they had been together for almost a year he was hard to predict. They shared the same house, the same bed, and even shared their bodies with each other. In all this time she always came to the realization that he was truly unpredictable. She had given him her word that she would remain as still and as quite as possible, and even though this was a new turn of events she would not break her promise to him.
Neji stood wondering what was going to happen, does he know about the Byakugan? Maybe he suspects that I'm supposed to act as a spy to gather intelligence. Thought after thought raced through his mind on what he suspected he was being singled out for, and how to counter with a reasonable explanation.
"Now please remove your forehead protector," Naruto demanded.
It was something that Neji was not comfortable with, and he had always hated seeing the mark on his forehead. It really was worthy of the feelings it inflicted by the given name, the Caged Bird Seal. He did as he was asked trying to keep face in front of the Uzukage. Even though he tried to put forth an image of pride a small amount of shame slid over him.
Just as the forehead protector was lowered Naruto moved at a blinding speed. From what everyone just witnessed they doubted that even the Sharingan could have traced his movements. There was a flash of blue light from where Neji's head was as a single finger of the Uzukage touched his forehead. Neji was thrown back into the chair, as Tenten attempted to figure out what just happened. Hinata was fighting herself trying to combat two reactions, one would be to run to her cousins' side to see if he was alright, the second was to just simply faint there onto the floor. The only thing that kept her in place was the absolute trust she had in Naruto. Naruto slowly walked back to his chair and began to sit down as Neji started to stir. Tenten looked on as anger built inside of her, the Uzukage had just attacked her Neji-kun, and she was quickly debating on trying to kill him right then.
"Calm down Tenten-chan, he is fine," Naruto said to Tenten as he felt the hostility from her bore into his flesh.
A sound came from Neji then and it drew her attention. She looked at him as he brought his head back up right; his eyes were a little hazy, if that is what hazy Hyuga eyes look like. Then she saw it, or more to the point, she didn't see it. The seal was gone. Then it hit her, the Uzukage just called her Tenten-chan, what the hell is going on? She looked back at the Uzukage, "Why did you just call me Tenten-chan?"
Naruto slowly lifted off his hat and it revealed his blonde hair that was a little longer since he left Konoha. He took notice of Tenten's eyes as they soon became as large as saucers. He then lowered his mask to show the rest of his face. "Hi Tenten. It's really good to see you," was the last thing she heard before she fainted into the chair.
Neji started to come around and take in his surroundings. Tenten is passed out in a chair, I'm still in the Uzukage's office, Naruto is sitting behind the desk. "I must be dreaming. You are dead, I saw you die, I even picked up your body parts," he said as he was still trying to shake off the effects of what the Uzukage just did to him. "I even had to pick up the parts of my cousin." He felt as if he just drank a whole barrel of sake. He noticed that the Uzukage's wife was moving a little.
Hinata removed the veil that covered her face so Neji could see that she was very much alive, "No Nii-chan, I'm right here and I am very much alive". She noticed Neji's head flop back again and it appeared as if he passed out also.
Naruto couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and laughed like he hadn't in a long time as he made his way to Hinata's side. He kissed her passionately and she was more than happy to lean into him returning the kiss.
After she pulled away she looked at him with curiosity in her eyes. "You never told me you were going to remove the seal. I never knew that you could do it."
Scratching the back of his head, "Yeah I found the way to do it one night when I was in the vault. I spent two days straight trying to get it right and memorizing the hand signs. The hardest part was going through them fast enough without anyone else seeing what I was doing".
"So this is what it was like when I was younger," she said pointing to the two who had fainted in the chairs.
With an evil grin he looked back at her and nodded, "Yeah, but that was because you fainted when I was around. I guess I just have that effect on you". He then leaned in again to kiss her, needing the warmth of her touch.
After a moment into the kiss they heard both new comers start to stir again and they stopped kissing to watch their reaction. Shaking their heads they began to focus their eyes on Naruto and Hinata standing there in each other's arms. They stared in disbelief and as if in unison started to focus their chakra to dispel the genjutsu they thought they had been under.
"Sorry guys, but it's not a genjutsu. You know I was never that good at that". He led Hinata back to his chair and pulled her onto his lap as he sat down.
Neji, shaking his head from the light feeling asked, "But how? You both are supposed to be dead. We saw you die. It was even confirmed".
"You know that hurts. Not only did you just say that we are supposed to be dead, but you under estimate me that much," Naruto said with a smile on his face. And much to his amusement Hinata giggled at the thought of that day. Only he could have come up with an idea like that.
"Then how?" Tenten asked finally finding her voice.
"That is a story for later, we still have business to tend to before the end of the day," Naruto said trying to be serious a little, knowing they still had to get them settled in.
"What did you do to me? My head feels fuzzy," Neji said while his mind started to catch up with things.
Tenten looked over and pointed to his forehead, "Neji-kun, it is gone".
"Ten-chan, what are you talking about?" Neji leaned over and picked up his forehead protector off the floor near his feet where it had landed. He looked into the reflection of his forehead and his mouth hung open at what he saw. The mark of the seal that all the branch members had was gone. He then looked up at the couple in the chair in front of him and all he could do was mouth the word "How?"
"That is a secret for now, but I will tell you later. And by the way, you're welcome. I told you we would remove that mark. The rest of the clan will have to come later," Naruto said trying to ease the idea onto his wife's cousin.
Then Hinata spoke up with a raised eyebrow and a cheeky grin on her face looking at Tenten, "Neji-kun, and Ten-chan?"
They both had a blush on their face as their secret was out. They let it slip in their honorifics of themselves due to the flood of thoughts over the things that had just taken place. "Well we had started dating in secret, because Neji-kun couldn't risk the clan elders finding out," Tenten finally confessed.
Neji tried to explain, "There was a lot of tensions in the clan after you two were reported dead. Hinata-sama's…"
Hinata cut him off, "Neji-nii, it is just Hinata, or even Hinata-chan now. I am married to Naruto now. I left the Hyuga behind and I am happy being an Uzumaki". She held up her hand to display the ring on her finger to remind them of what had happened since they left.
Then there was a squeal heard from Tenten as she jumped out of the chair and ran to Hinata embracing her in an awkward hug while Hinata was still sitting on Naruto's lap. "When did that happen?" Then Tenten remembered the Uzukage's wife was pregnant. She released Hinata a little to look down at Hinata's slightly protruding stomach. "And you're pregnant too".
Hinata looked at Tenten and beamed at her revelations. A wide smile crossed her face as she nodded. "Yes I am. It is the best feeling that I have ever known. Aside from the small amount of morning sickness this has been the happiest time of my life. Naruto has made every dream of mine come true". The two embraced again and started talking about it some more, Tenten was trying to get every detail.
Feeling bad about breaking up the reunion between the two giddy girls, he couldn't stand looking at Neji as he came to terms with the fact of what he thought was reality came crashing down. "By now you should have noticed there wasn't just a coincidence in you both being picked to come here. I do need your help in the matters that were stated before, but I wanted you to have what we discovered. We know the rules of the Hyuga clan intimately and we felt it was unfair to never give you a chance together. Aside from that I will expect you to play the roles that were set out in the mission details. Tenten, we have some weapons but I still lack a real weapons expert to train the new recruits in their uses. You were the best that we could think of in Konoha and we chose you. Neji, Hinata-chan handles most of the political aspects of the village as I am just not that experienced in those matters. If it was not for her I would not have survived doing this". Hinata then hugged Naruto tightly, she always loved the way he praised her. She loved to feel useful. "What we lack is a respectable voice in Konoha and the Land of Fire. That is where you come in. You two seeing each other, we just couldn't pass up the chance to bring you here to stay with us".
Helping Hinata stand back up he continued, "It is going to be supper soon so we will walk and talk about it on the way to your home. Outside of these walls and our home we are known as Minato and Suki Saisei to the village. We need to keep it that way for a while, and I will explain more about those reasons later. That will give you a better idea as to why we disappeared the way we did."
Neji and Tenten stood and started to accompany Hinata toward the door. Naruto reached into one of his desk drawers and pulled out some items. Before the three reached the door he called out to them, "Neji-san, Tenten-chan," he waited till they turned around before he threw one of each item at them. They both opened their hands to see they were holding a small ring each. There was an intricate design on it, with the Hyuga symbol being the focal point. It appeared to be made out of pink stone that matched the color of Tenten's Chinese style blouse. "Put it on". As he saw both of them try to put it on their right hands he corrected them, "Other hand you two. I can't have it look improper for a young couple to be living in the same house if they are not married".
They both looked at each other nervously as they did what Naruto said, unsure of what the other thought about the idea of being married. Both had talked about such an occurrence, and Tenten had dreamed about it many times, but was unsure if Neji really meant it. Neji was still in a little bit of shock over the events and had hoped the clan would have changed their views on marrying outside of the clan. Then it hit them both that they were not bound by the clan and no harm could come to Neji even if they did not approve of them being together with the seal being removed. He smiled at the thought and that was all Tenten needed to know about how he would view this. She crossed the short distance in one leap into Neji's arms, ignoring the fact that Naruto and Hinata were there, kissing him soundly with everything she was.
Hinata looked at the two with a tear in her eyes. Even though it was strange seeing her stoic cousin in such a manner, she was happy that she could help him, and she owed it all to Naruto. They were brought back to reality by Naruto coughing, "After seeing that, I don't want to hear a word about me doing the same to my hime".
Hinata's face had a slight blush while Tenten giggled, "I will try to control myself if I ever have that unfortunate opportunity," Neji said.
They all laughed while they left the office to show Neji and Tenten where they would be staying. They didn't have far to walk and they chatted briefly while doing so. The young women were talking about what life was like being a married couple and pregnant. At some points it seemed as if Tenten was asking for pointers on the subject. The conversation was interrupted briefly as a cautious Neji pinched Naruto in an attempt to see if this was all real, "Ouch, what did you do that for?"
As if it wasn't an apology Neji responded, "It was just that this doesn't seem as if it could be real. I needed to make sure. I never thought I would see my cousin again. Your evident survival along with the strange assignment, the removal of the Caged-Bird Seal, and an unofficial union between Tenten-chan and me, you can't blame me for my reaction".
After a few more moments Hinata and Naruto came to a stop in front of a large wooden gate to a property that was surrounded by walls. "We're here," Naruto said.
"Where, I don't see a house," Tenten asked.
Pointing to the gate Hinata motioned for them to look closely at the symbol engraved upon it. Both stared at it in awe. It was a symbol of the Uzumaki. "You start a village and then make yourself a compound," Neji said thinking that maybe Naruto went a little overboard. He was surprised by Hinata's reaction.
Shaking her head she enlightened him to who exactly Naruto was, "No Neji-nii, this was already here when we arrived in the village. This was evidently his clans' compound before Uzu was destroyed. They were the original founders of Uzushiogakure and often were the governing body during that time. In essence his status within this village would have been greater than my fathers' in Konoha."
That did it; both looked at Naruto as if a light shown on him denoting royalty. The village knucklehead was a more prominent figure than the clan leader of the Hyugas. Hinata continued, "His mother had once held my title just in this clan. But his father," she took a deep breath to prepare for the looks on the couple in front of her. "His father was Minato Namikaze, the Yondiame of Konoha". When she finished her statement she smiled at the looks on her cousins' face and that of his wife/ girlfriend. It looked as if their brains had shut down. Clapping her hands to get their attention she motioned them to get inside the compound. "We will explain more over dinner". Through the entrance there was a large house that also displayed the Uzumaki symbol above the door signaling that this was the main house. To the left Hinata showed them where they would be staying, their house was larger than any of the branch members' homes in the Hyuga compound. Their luggage was already inside for them to unpack and they could do so after dinner.
Once they entered the main house it was quiet. There were no servants or workers tending to the place and Naruto explained that he didn't feel right having anyone tending to his needs other than Hinata. They did all the cleaning and cooking together, although the villagers did tend to the grounds keeping it trimmed and neat for the Uzukage. The two women set off for the kitchen to prepare food while Naruto and Neji talked amongst themselves. It was small talk as Neji tried to build up the courage and form the words for the real questions he wanted to ask.
"So the Yondaimes' son huh?" he said still in disbelief.
Rubbing the back of his head Naruto thought about it himself, "Yeah, it kind of shocked me too".
"Are you happy?" Neji was easing himself into the deeper questions that concerned him as Hinata's cousin.
"Given the circumstances I would have to say yes. It has been less than a year since Hinata-chan told me that she loved me. And do you know she has since our time at the academy? But here we are, we are married, and have a baby on the way. We are quickly becoming the family I never had," Naruto said feeling the warmth of something he always thought would elude him.
Noting that Naruto never said anything about being the Uzukage or the village of Uzu, Neji was happy to know that his cousin was the source of Naruto's happiness. "What about becoming Hokage? It was your dream for as long as I have known you".
Thinking of his past he was a little low about it until he thought more about his present and future. "I don't think that is possible now as I am Uzukage. Although I never planned on it happening and Hinata-chan along with me were content and happy to continue with our plans before we let the world know we are still alive. Being here though, I have grown to want to protect them just as I have given my word to protect those in Konoha. My word still stands and I will do just that as the need arises. But I have to protect these people here just the same. As we were about to leave the island, they asked us to stay. The entire village got down on their knees and bowed to me as they asked us. The council was already established and they were well on their way to rebuilding this on their own. They needed a figure head just as a family does and I could not turn them down because they had all become important to me".
It was one of the most mature things Neji had ever heard come from the blonde, "What about home, will you ever return?"
This took him a moment to think about how he thought of home," That is the thing that took me by surprise as the months passed. As much as I always thought Konoha was my home, it could never be a place we return to on a permanent basis. I would like to visit some time when things are more stable and we are prepared for the coming storm. Here though," he chuckled a little before continuing, "This is home. Hinata-chan has made this place home and it is how I will always feel as long as she is with me".
If Neji didn't know better, Naruto actually worshipped his cousin. He couldn't help but laugh at the idea, probably the strongest shinobi that Konoha has ever produced and he could be controlled by the softest spoken person he has ever known.
Before Naruto could guess what Neji was laughing at, he was rescued by his cousin. Hinata walked up behind Naruto and wrapped her arms around his chest. Naruto looked back at her and they kissed tenderly while Neji watched.
Raising an eyebrow at the two he couldn't help but say what he was thinking, "I take it back, I will never get used to seeing that."
Hinata kissed Naruto again, this time on the cheek, "Dinner is ready". As she started to walk away she stopped for a moment and looked back at the two, "Neji-nii," she waited until he looked at her, "Tenten-chan told me about some of your make-out sessions on top of the Hokage Monument". With that she walked back into the house.
With Neji in a blush that would have rivaled his cousin's, and Naruto laughing at his embarrassment, they walked inside to eat. The rest of the night continued on with stories of Naruto and Hinata's adventures. Filling in the reasons for the things they did, and what their plans were for the future.
After Dinner
They said their goodbyes and goodnights, making their way to their new home. Neither Tenten nor Neji were really sure how they felt about living together, alone, under one roof. They had a few days before they were required to get any work done at the office. Naruto had made it a point to tell them that they would be required to train still as shinobi. They had decided they would take the day tomorrow to get some of the housing essentials like furniture and cooking supplies. Nervous standing in front of the door Neji inserted the key and turned the knob. What they saw nearly floored them. They were unsure if they could handle any more surprises as this day had just continued to cause their hearts to skip a beat.
When they walked in they saw their luggage just inside of a fully furnished home. The place was decorated from top to bottom. Neji having some knowledge of antiquities started to take notice of the furnishings. Even the couch in the sitting area was historic, but there was no signs of age or wear to be seen anywhere. As Neji continued to look at the decorations in disbelief Tenten walked throughout the home. All she could do was whistle in amazement at the sheer size and appeal of the home. It was hard for Neji to fathom how Naruto acquired such things, and to just give them to him and Tenten. There were expensive pieces in their home but Naruto had just thought they were gifts from the village because he was the Uzukage.
Gathering himself he went forward to look for his room. Every bedroom he passed was empty. He saw a light on at the end of the hall and he supposed it was where Tenten was currently located. As he walked into the room he called out, "Tenten-chan, do you know where my room is?" As he looked around he saw a very large four poster bed with a canopy in the center of the back wall. There were small tables and chests of drawers lining another wall.
Sitting on the bed Tenten shook her head. "This is the only bed in the house". If Neji didn't know better he could have sworn he saw her smirk at him.
Playing with the ring on her finger Tenten slowly climbed out of the bed and started to make her way to Neji. She released the buns that held her hair up, allowing it to fall just below her shoulder blades. Neji looked on in amazement at the kunoichi slowly making her way to him. Her hips swayed keeping him in a trance. If it was a genjutsu, it was one he never wanted to be released from. Damn you Naruto. You set this up, he thought. By the time she reached him she had already unfastened the last claps at the front of her blouse, leaving it to hang open showing her flat toned stomach, and the thin piece of material that covered her breasts.
He was fixated and couldn't understand what was happening, it was Tenten, and they had spent a lot of time making-out privately, but this forwardness she was showing was something he never expected. She was actually shaking his core. Grabbing the sides of his face with her hands she pulled his head down to her and kissed the now vacant spot on his forehead. It finally clicked in his mind, the seal that kept him under the control of his clan was now gone, he was free to do as he pleased.
Pulling her hands back from his head, she slid them down into the top of his loose over-shirt. Pushing outwards the material parted to slide off his shoulders. A simple thin sleeveless shirt was the only thing covering his chest, and she could easily see the muscular definition of his body underneath it. Years of training had sculpted his form much like that of an artist. She smiled inwardly as he stood there trying to maintain some semblance of control despite what she was doing to him. The entire time as she was unwrapping her present she wondered how long it would take for him to break. This was the stuff of her fantasies, and there would be nothing that stopped her from having it her way tonight. Tugging at the last layer of his top so she could see his hardened body, she lifted it over his head with the only reaction being him lifting his arms to make sure it came off smoothly.
After letting the clothing drop to the floor she ran her hands down his chest to feel the skin beneath her fingers. Leaning in she placed a small kiss on his chest just over his heart, taking in his masculine scent that gave her a heady feeling. This is the stuff that drove her forward into the brave acts she was performing for him tonight.
She backed up a little to turn around and walk toward the bed again. Just a few feet from him she stopped to reach into her waistband and untie the strings that held her loose fitting pants to her hips. Once undone the pants fell to her ankles, giving the stoic shinobi a clear view of her athletic legs and thighs. Just beneath where her shirt still hung he could see the bottom of her round rear as it peaked below the fabric.
As she reached the end of the bed she peeled back the shirt and allowed it to accompany her pants, taking space up on the floor. Neji had a clear view of the back of the woman in front of him, and what a woman she was. She knew she was sexy, and she was using it to her full advantage. From his view he could see nearly everything with the exception of the pair of pink panties that were the same color of her old Chinese blouse and matching lace bra. She turned slowly to sit on the bed and the view of the front was just slightly more amazing than the back.
She beckoned him to come to her with a single finger and his body responded as if she controlled him like a puppet on a string. Standing in front of her she pulled his outer shirt from his waistband and started to blush. Her next thought of how she was going to snap that Hyuga resolve meant she would take it a step further until he could no longer control his actions. Tenten reached for the tie that held the pants in place but before she could get them undone Nejis' hands tried to stop her. "What has gotten into you?" he said.
In the sexiest voice she could muster she simply stated, "It is what will get into me that I have more concern over right now". She reached to his hand and played with the ring there on his finger, "I love you Neji. I have for a long time now and there was something always in the way at Konoha. Here we can be what we want. Even though there was no ceremony or documentation as of yet, I would love to be your wife. You stated this is what you wanted before, and I hoped you would feel the same way now. Even if we have to go back someday I want us to live as the happily married couple we always wanted to be while we can."
He lifted her chin and leaned down to kiss her gently, "I want nothing more than to be with you for as long as I can be. But are you sure you are ready for something like this?"
She responded in action by pushing his hands back away and releasing his trousers allowing them to slide down his legs. If the blush on her face could get any deeper the rest of her body would die due to blood loss. His erect manhood stood at attention in front of her face, she smiled at the knowledge that just the peep show alone had caused this reaction.
Neji looked down at Tenten staring at him intimately in all his naked glory, the thought of her touching him in such a manner was setting him on fire. His thoughts exploded as he felt her grab him gently by the shaft with her soft hands. She started to slide her hand up and down creating in him waves of pleasure he never thought possible.
Watching his reaction to her touch was giving her a sense of satisfaction she thought would be as addicting as a drug. She wanted to see if she could elicit anything else from him and she slowly leaned down placing the tip in her mouth using her tongue to make sure there was no friction to cause discomfort. As she did so his hands came down and grabbed her shoulders as he let out a moan that she never thought would possibly from him. She continued on as she began to move her mouth a little further down, slowly, and then pull back as more sounds erupted from Neji. It wasn't that satisfactory to her in the physical sense but his reactions as he gripped her shoulders tightly and did his best to maintain his breathing was exciting her in a way she never thought possible.
He was lost in everything that she was doing. He knew his resolve was gone and the only thing that kept him from pouncing on her at that moment when she pulled him out of her mouth was fear that if he became too forward it would scare her. They were both new to this and he didn't want to remove the emotions from the act of making love. She took him by the hand and started to scoot her firm rear back further on the bed, pulling him with her. When they finally reached the top she was leaning back on her elbows with the only thing separating them being two pieces of thin cloth, which he thought if he glared hard enough it would tear under his gaze alone. He was leaning over her between her legs as she pulled him down for a passionate kiss. Something in him snapped and he started to demand she relinquish control. Deepening the kiss he reached with one hand behind her and unclasped her bra. As he started to pull it from her shoulders he left the kiss to gaze at the bosom of the woman in front of him. They looked soft yet firm, and he could not help himself, he dipped his head to take her right nipple into his mouth and gently apply suction while lapping at the hard nipple with his tongue.
She threw her head back and pushed her chest out more to give him better access to what he wanted. The feeling of his mouth on her sent wave after wave of pleasure through her body. The tension was building and she was certain she would explode just from what he was doing to her now. If this is what it feels like so far, I think I may die on the spot when he pushes into me, she thought to herself, letting out a small moan. He removed his mouth from her breast and it left a longing feeling, wanting him to return. Then she felt his fingers push themselves just inside the waistband of her panties preparing to remove them.
Desire played through his mind. She had ruined the stoic demeanor that he had worked tirelessly to achieve. He needed her and she was offering herself to him. It was now or never and he would finally know what it was like to trust someone with your very soul. With her touches and kisses she had been pulling his out so she may keep it, and do with it whatever she liked. As he slid the thin fabric down her legs he could see his Tenten in all her glory. He wanted to possess her, just as much as she had possessed him. With the flimsy material off he lowered himself into her repaying her in fold for the things she did to him. If her hands and mouth could make him her puppet he was sure that his could do even more for her, reminding her that he was always in control.
This was a battle of lust and love, and he was determined to win. Excruciatingly slowly he lowered his head down and gently licked her outer lips with a sense of curiosity. Her virgin folds were soft and sensitive under his tongue. With each lapping motion her hips bucked into him. He was being driven to fervor over her sounds of pleasure and it wasn't too long before he was devouring her sexual essence. Her taste appealed to him as he pushed his tongue into her. Her reaction was to grab his hair and push her womanhood further into his face as her aching muscles were being separated by his probing. He quickly realized he was wrong in this battle, it was one he could never win, and she would rule him every time they made love. Her taste, sounds, and touch drove him insane to the point he believed he would become feral.
He climbed back into place pulling her tighter against him and kissing her so soundly he was sure no thought remained in her head. His erection was there and he could feel her moistness surrounding his tip. He slowly pressed himself forward feeling every excruciating sensation of her tightness wrap around him. It was borderline painful, but it was the type of pain that can only be described as 'wanting'. He needed to feel that more as he pushed deeper. He was stopped momentarily as something kept him from moving forward.
Feeling the tight pressure and twinge of pain as he pressed against her virginity, she braced herself for the sensation and calmed her breathing in preparation. She looked up at him and gave him a small kiss before instructing him, "Just push hard and fast, then hold still so I can adjust please," she gasped in hopes that this would be over quickly. She was a shinobi but it didn't mean she had to like pain. To help brace herself for the inevitable she wrapped her arms around his back and pulled him tight against her so she could kiss him as he did so. In an instant the pressure grew as she felt herself tear, or was that her mind finally cracking under her lover. He was buried as deep as he could go, he let out a throaty moan and she dragged it in and held her breath bearing through the pain. Just as it subsided and she could breathe again he started to pull back out. It was a little sore but it was quickly forgotten as he pushed forward again. With each movement he made the pleasure in her increased and she wondered if it would ever stop. Involuntarily she arched her back as he developed a steady pace with moans of pleasure erupting from him that fueled her desire even more. She couldn't stand it anymore. He kept up this grueling torment for longer than she could stand. She demanded release from the waves of pleasure he was causing inside of her.
In one quick motion she rolled him onto his back and kept him buried deep within her. She loved the way he filled her and pressed so deep into her there was no longer any more room for him to go further. She started to raise her hips slowly trying to mimic the pace he had developed. When she was satisfied with the slow and steady she started to quicken it to bring herself to new heights. Soon enough she was coming nearly off of him and slamming back down enjoying the way he filled her over and over.
Looking up at the most beautiful woman he had ever known riding on top of him left his mind somewhere between love and feral instinct. Running his hands up and down her body, over her breasts, and finally deciding to focus his hold on her hips as he felt it gave him some sort of control. He bucked his hips as she came down, working in tandem together to seek what they always wanted to share. It wasn't long before his mind shattered like the rest of his resolve had done at her touch. Moaning and crying out her name into the night he felt himself release into her just as she cried his name as well. She picked up the pace even faster, if a thing could even be possible just as she sang her release to the heavens before collapsing onto Neji's chest. Panting and sweating he lifted her face so he could look into her chocolate eyes and kiss her in the most tender, loving way he could muster. As he broke the kiss he could see her smile and a slight tear form in one of her eyes as he told her, "I love you".
