Snowy Eyes and Sandy Hair

In two minutes they arrived at the front gates of the Hyuuga Complex. Hinata led the way to her room; no way she was chancing someone finding Temari somewhere else. She opened the door and let Temari in before she closed it. The Sand Konoichi stood by the door looking uneasy at being inside the room of the house of the most important and oldest families in all of the Hidden Villages. Hinata grabbed a towel from her privet bathroom and handed it to the girl. Temari took it and smiled. Hinata went back and got one for herself. When she came back out Temari was trying to dry her clothes, one look told her that they were both soaked to the bone.

She walked over to her dresser and pulled out two large shirts, two pairs of underwear, and sweat pants. Hinata handed half to Temari and then started to lay hers out on the bed.

"Um, do you want to get dressed first?" the Hyuuga asked.

Temari looked startled for a minute and then said, "What difference does it make? Aren't we going to get dressed here anyway?"

"No, in the bathroom. All of them have something special done to them so that Byakugan can't see into it." Years ago someone in the main branch had found a substance that Byakugan couldn't see through unless enormous amounts of strain and chakra were used. Hinata couldn't tell her those details, but this was enough. Temari nodded and took her clothes into the next room and closed the door. Hinata was about to pull off her shirt when Neji walked in. Hinata froze, as did Neji.

"Oops. Sorry, Hinata-sama." He left with a deep red blush of pure embarrassment on his face. Oh, the shame he'd put himself through. Hinata still hadn't moved; she felt like she was going to pass out. To avoid falling to the ground she sat on the bed. After a minute Temari came out and snapped Hinata out of her little trance. The blonde walked over to the bed and Hinata walked into the bathroom.

When she came out Temari was looking out the window into the yard where Neji and Hinabi had been sparring before the rain had come. From what they could tell through the clouds, the sun was setting and it was going to be dinner soon. Hinata had just come back from eating with Ino and Sakura when she had met up with Temari. She wasn't hungry, but Temari might be. She went out for about five minutes and came back with a plate of food and two glasses of watered-down sake.

"Temari-san, are you hungry?" she asked as she opened the door to her room. But the blonde-haired girl was nowhere to be seen. Hinata began to panic. Did Neji find her? Was she off looking around? If one of the elder members found her they would attack first, question later, or in the case of their power, never. She had to find her guest!

"No, thanks anyway," came a voice from the bathroom. Hinata put down the plate and glasses and went in to see if it was really Temari.

No doubt it was. She was sitting on the toilet; lid down, and fan propped up on the wall. She was rubbing it with a damp cloth. Hinata let out a sigh of relief. Temari was in no danger. She was safe in Hinata's room. She looked up at the white-eyed girl next to her, a single question burning a hole in her mind.

"Hey, Hinata." She looked up. "Why did you invite me into your home? I've never really been friendly to you and we hardly know each other outside inter-village missions. I feel like I'm intruding"

Hinata was shocked. Temari thought that stuff really mattered? She was stuck across town from her house; she needed to get out of the sudden drenching rain. Why would she think Hinata would leave her out there by herself?

"You were outside in a down pour. My house was close by, it was the only thing I could do. Besides, I was kind of hoping we could get to know each other better. I've always, well, wanted to be-" she stopped. No way could she say that out loud, she could hardly say it in her mind, that she wished she could be more like Temari, so strong and confedent. Never afaid to go get what you need or want. So she changed it around a little, not a lie, just smudging the truth.

"What? You wanted to be what?" Temari sat there expectantly.

"Friends. You always seem so sure of yourself and I thought that it was really great. You seem like a nice person and I just, well, wanted to get to know you better." She looked away with her signature 'Hinata Blush' firmly in place.

Temari didn't say anything for a while. She just looked at the Hyuuga heir standing in front of her, blushing like mad and staring at her feet. Temari stood, and put her hand on Hinata's shoulder. The younger girl looked up in surprise. Their eyes met for a moment and, without the slightest bit of thought; Temari bent down and kissed Hinata, on the lips. It was a dry kiss, but it meant a lot. It showed her that the Sand Ninja was kind, loving, and had love for her; it showed Temari that Hinata wasn't as shy as people said she was and that the younger girl was a pretty good kisser.

When they pulled away Hinata's face was cherry red and her eyes were wide with shock.

'Did I just do what I think I just did? I just kissed Temari! Temari, another girl! Another ninja from another hidden village! What am I thinking?' Hinata's mind swirled and tried to find an answer to this question, but nothing came. The storm, that was her frantic imagination running wild, was growing and making her head swim. Was this what happened when you kissed someone?

She had always tried to imagine her first kiss, even though this wasn't really it, oh who was she kidding this was nothing like it. It had always been with Naruto, him grabbing her around the waist, pulling her close, their eyes would close and at first their lips would only brush, but soon they would press together and open. Temari's kiss had been similar, but not the same, it was dry for one, and she was a girl. Silly as it was, part of the kissing scene had been romantic music and fireworks in the background. Of course this wasn't her really first kiss. She'd had a dry kiss before. Kiba had been, according to Shino, flirting with her all day and they were about to head home when he tapped her shoulder. She had spun around and their lips had met. Kiba swore it was an accident but even Akamaru knew better. And yet this one was still different, unexpected, but completely different.

Temari stood there looking at Hinata leaning against the closed door. It was a good thing nobody could see into the bathroom. Temari was worried, Hinata looked like she was going to pass out. The girl was pale and her eyes were a bit frantic. Her eyes were settled on the floor but it didn't look like she was really seeing anything. What had Temari done? She had really like the Hyuuga for a while time but never said or done anything. Now they had kissed and the object of any affections she had was looking like she was going to flip; and if that happened Temari was in for it in more ways than one.

Suddenly she was reminded of something, the look in her eye was different but the stiff and almost guarded body language was all the same. Gaara had been like this once, after the Chuunin exam when they had all met the group of Leaves (as they called the group of Konoha Shinobi). His eyes had been a bit crazier and there was a danger of coming within five meters of him, but the principle was the same, Hinata's mind was holding a raging storm. Back then Temari couldn't really do anything to help her little brother get through his episode but she was here and could help Hinata. And that's what she'd do.

She walked up to her and wrapped her arms around Hinata's shoulders. Temari pulled the younger girl closer to her and made a shushing noise in her ear. They began to rock back and forth. Hinata didn't flinch away like Temari had expected her to but she still didn't move at all. Temari gave the girl a small squeeze and whispered, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to get so shaken up. Please, I won't do it again, I promise."

Hinata shook her head. Temari didn't quite understand what that meant until her lips met with the Hyuuga's again. At first it was she who froze but she soon got over her shock and kissed back. She ran her tongue over Hinata's lips asking for entrance. She hesitated for a moment and then her lips parted. Temari dived in, exploring the moist cavern with her wet muscle. At first Hinata just stayed still then, unexpectedly she moved against the Sand Ninja's tongue. They kissed for a while more and then pulled away, out of breath. They looked at each other until Hinata's blush got to much and she passed out, the smallest trace of a smile on her face.
