Hinata was nervous as she waited for Naruto at the ramen stand.

For once it wasn't because she was

going to see the blonde haired ninja, it was what she hoped

would happen after dinner. She smiled as

she thought back to what Kianna had told her the day before at the pool party.

"Hinata-chan I really

shouldn't tell you but Naru-kun confessed that he has liked

you for a very long time. He told me that he

knew he could always count on you for a happy smile or a kind

word even when all the others were being

mean." She had said. "You know I love him very much but I c

an't be with him, at least right now. If I have

to lose him to someone I would rather it be you." Hinata had told

the blonde snow nin that she was always

welcome and "Who knows what might happen when you visit, you

see Kianna-chan I like you too." Hinata

had answered an enticing grin on her face.

The blonde spiky head of Naruto came into view, Hinata held

her stomach to slow the butterfly's down. "Hi Naru-kun," she called out

waving happily. Naruto waved

back and smiled. Hinata hurried to him and hugged him tightly.

"Easy koneko I'm not going anywhere,"

he said laughing at the strength of her hug. "I'm sorry Naru-kun it's just

that I'm so very glad to see you,"

she said shyly. "Koneko I'm happy to see you too." Hinata looked up

at the taller man, "Naru-kun why do

you call me koneko?" Naruto smiled softly at her.

"I've always thought of that way I guess. All the years

we've been growing up together. You remind me of a

soft little kitten who loves to play. But don't make

her mad because she does have claws." He said chuckling.

Hinata buried her head into his strong chest.

Koneko, she loved that name but only Naruto would ever be allowed

to call her that from now on.The

couple entered the ramen stand and Naruto helped his

princess onto a stool. The owner, Goro smiled at

his best customer and had Ayame, his waitress bring them tea.

After ordering Naruto looked at Hinata with

a piercing gaze. "Naru-kun why are you looking at me like that?"

She asked feeling the butterfly's again.

"I was just thinking how lucky I was to be here with you right now"

He said softly. Hinata was used to

Naruto always being loud and somewhat harsh in what he said.

Not mean or anything just loud. The

softness and tenderness in his voice made her melt.

They talked quietly as they ate, Naruto asked how

her day had gone and Hinata happily told him.

Naruto told her what his day had been like and even told

her about Ino bringing him a lunch.

"This is nice were chatting like a real couple,"

the princess thought.

Hinata didn't get upset, she knew Sakura and Ino

were interested in the young nin also. She had expected

competition and she believed she was ready for it.

After dinner Naruto suggested they walk for a while.

He gently took her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.

Hinata was delighted by the display of

affection. Two others noticed the action also.

Sakura and Ino were watching intently as the couple walked

away. Sakura turned to Ino a look of worry on her face.

"He's not like Sasuke, he cares about people. He

doesn't play with emotions; he says what he means.

I don't know how to act around that. I've been in the

childish game playing mode for so long I don't know

how to have an honest relationship with anyone."

The woman said, fear strong in her voice. Ino eyed her for a minute.

"Well I know that all to well," She

growled. Sakura looked hurt at her friend.

"Ino-chan have I done that to you too?" she whispered. Ino

nodded her eyes downcast. "I know I've done the same to you also.

I'm not mad Sakura-chan but it does

hurt some." Sakura put her arm around her lifelong

freind and pulled her close. "Please... never forget

that no matter what I will always love you and be there for you," she said.

"But right now if we want any

chance with Naru-kun we have to find out what's going on."

Ino nodded in agreement and the pair took

of after their quarry.Naruto and Hinata walked to the main park;

they watched the other couples that were

there. "I wonder if those girls are as happy as I am?" Hinata said.

"I don't know Hinata-chan how happy

are you?" Naruto asked a slight tease in his voice.

Hinata stopped and faced him, all trace of nervousness

gone. She stepped close and pressed her lips to his.

Naruto pulled her gently closer and deepened the

kiss. Their tongues wrestled for control for a

moment before Hinata moaned and surrendered to her ninja.

The pale eyes of the princess were dancing and

her face was very flushed when the couple stepped

back for air."Wow Kianna was right when she said you were a great kisser,"

Hinata said laying her head

on the man's chest. "What else did that little snow vixen tell you?'

Naruto asked laughing. Hinata looked

up into his eyes, "I think I'd rather show you than tell you." She said enticingly.

"By the way Naru-kun before you ask, I'm not going home tonight.

I'm spending it with you."

The princess said firmly. "Are you

very sure about that? I would never do anything to disgrace the

reputation of the princess of the Hyuga's.

I am not a worthy catch for you, are you absolutely sure?" Naruto asked

concern in his voice. "Yes kawaii

I am, but thank you for being so sweet." She said as she kissed him again.

"And by the way, to me you

are totally worthy."Sakura turned to Ino,

"I never would have imagined that it would be Hinata that would

be asking Naruto to take her to bed. That girls a lot braver than I thought."

The pink haired nin said. "Yeah

I never would have thought she would have the nerve to do that.

I mean I wouldn't think she'd refuse but

I would've thought she'd wait for the man to ask." Ino said in agreement.

The two nin's continued to follow

and watch.Hinata pulled Naruto to a bench the couple

sat down and watched the other couples stroll by.

"Naru-kun wait here I have an idea but I need a few minutes. Is that alright?"

Naruto nodded in confusion

but he laughed when he saw the happiness in the young woman's eyes.

"Sure koneko you go do

whatever you want. I'll wait right here." Hinata kissed him sweetly and scurried off.

Naruto watched the

people and enjoyed the early evening breeze. "Naru-kun?" he heard close by.

Turning he saw Ten-Ten

standing next to the bench. "Hi Ten-Ten what can I do for you?' Naruto asked

somewhat surprised.The

brown haired nin sat down and looked intently at Naruto.

She was obviously very nervous, the young

man could never remember seeing his fellow chunin this unsettled before.

"What's wrong?" he asked

getting concerned. "I don't know how to do this so I 'm just going to say it."

Ten-Ten began. "Naru-kun, I

like you very much. I think I like you more than anyone... even Neji." She said quietly. Naruto smiled at

the young woman. "I'm very flattered Ten-Ten, really I am.

But god girl I already have four I'm trying to

figure out. I don't think I could handle another. It's a little overwhelming.

I mean last week no one in the

village cared about me. Now I have Hinata, Sakura, Ino,

Temari and now you all wanting my attentions. It

a bit much for me to handle."The woman looked down sadly.

"I'm sorry Naruto I shouldn't have said

anything." "NO wait Ten-Ten... I'm glad you did. I'm not saying I don't like you.

I'm just asking you to let

me get things more sorted out first. I'm only trying to be fair to everyone.

Besides I hate it when Neji gives

me those big puppy dog eyes like Hinata does.

He likes you a lot and I would never do anything to ruin

your chances at a good marriage with a rich man like that."

Ten-Ten laughed at the description of Neji.

"Yes he does that to me too but what made you think of that?"

she asked. "The fact that Neji is trying to

hide behind a tree over there and staring at me with

those damn puppy eyes right now." Ten-Ten stiffened

, she didn't know that Neji had followed her. "Thank you Naru-kun for not letting

Neji know." She said

softly without turning around. The woman stood to leave,

"You are a true gentleman. If it doesn't work

out with the others, you're always welcome to see me.

I think you could make me forget him, rich or not."

Naruto smiled up at her. "Thanks Ten-Ten... ya know Neji looks just like

Hinata does when she uses

those eyes on me." He said. Suddenly his eyes widened in shock.

Using a mocking tone he said. "Hey

Ten-Ten did you know that Neji looks a lot like Hinata?" The brown haired

nin laughed and walked off.

Hinata returned just as Ten-Ten was leaving. She eyed her cousin's

girlfriend suspiciously. "Cheating on

me already?" she said as she sat down next to Naruto.

"It's not cheating if you know about it." Naruto

teased. Hinata laughed and hugged him.

Naruto looked with curiosity at the package Hinata had returned

with. She smiled shyly, "It's for later," she said blushing.

The couple continued their walk just enjoying the

closeness. Hinata stepped closer and placed Naruto's arm

across her shoulder. She snuggled in under

his shoulder and placed her head on his chest.

"I could stay here forever," she murmured. "Naru-kun

could we please go home now?" Hinata asked her eyes sparkling.

Naruto nodded and turned towards his

room. Naruto opened the door to his room and was

glad he had cleaned earlier. "I'm sorry it's not much,"

he said nervously. Hinata smiled and pulled him in.

"It's all right kawaii, I don't judge you by your room,

only your actions," she said with a very suggestive tone.

Naruto laughed at the woman. "You know if you

would have flirted with me like this years ago who knows

what would have happened." He said. "I've

never seen you act like this, you're so confident and

not stammering or anything." "I'm sorry about that

before Naru-kun. I've had a huge crush on you for the longest time.

I would just freeze up when I was

around you. I wanted to tell you so many times how I felt but I couldn't.

Then you'd say something to

Sakura-chan or someone else and my insecurities would jump in."

The princess said."I'm very glad you

decided to talk to me, I love your voice. It reminds me of a stream lightly flowing.

It's very relaxing, I get

almost intoxicated listening to you." Naruto said looking deeply into her eyes.

Hinata had to remind

herself to breathe, never had anyone said more romantic or loving words to her.

"I know I'm not as pretty

as Sakura-chan or Ino-chan but I still have very strong feelings for you.

I must admit they're getting

stronger by the minute." She said. The blonde nin looked sternly at the

Hyuga princess. "Hinata-chan,

please never run yourself down. I think you're very beautiful,

you need apologize to no one. You're easily

as pretty or more so than any other woman in this village."

Hinata lowered her eyes in embarrassment,

"You really think I'm beautiful?" she whispered.

Naruto pulled her into him firmly and kissed her deeply.

As they broke the man whispered into her ear.

"Yes kawaii I think you're very beautiful and I'll challenge

anyone who say's you're not." He kissed her neck and nibbled lightly

sending shivers through her body.

She gently pushed the man away and looked at him with a mischievous smile.

"Give me a minute, it's time

for your surprise." Naruto smiled and released his grip.

He followed her with his eyes as she headed for

the bathroom."Sakura they're going to Naruto's room." Ino said softly.

"Thank you Ino I never would have

guessed," Sakura snapped. "Sorry," Ino huffed. "Well I guess that's it,

unless you want to listen at the

keyhole," The blonde girl said. Sakura ignored her and was looking around the

outside of the building.

"What the hell are you looking for?" Ino said her patience wearing thin.

"I'm looking for a way to get up to

his window you idiot." Sakura growled. "Hey girl I'm no idiot.

I guess I'm just not as obsessed as you are

over Naru-kun." Sakura spun on her friend her eyes flashing.

"I'm not obsessed, I just want to know what's

going on with my teammate." She said flaring.

"Okay... okay... back off. I'm on your side ya know." Ino

said defensively. Sakura spotted a tree that was close to Naruto's room.

"I'll bet we could see from there,

" The pink haired nin said pointing at the tree.

"Again with the tree's? If you remember that didn't work so

well for us last time." Ino said. "Well that means we'll have to be sneakier... right?"

Sakura responded.

Ino rolled her eyes but let Sakura coax her into the tree.

The view was actually good from the branch they

were seated on. They could see Naruto and Hinata kissing.

"I wish I could hear what the fuck Hinata was

saying to him." Sakura snarled. "Well why don't you just ask him to open

his window for us?" Ino said

disgusted with her friend. Hinata picked up a package and headed to the bathroom.

Naruto turned and

walked to the window. He looked out and then opened it.

Sakura looked at Ino and smiled, "See no

problem," she whispered.Naruto could sense Sakura and Ino outside his window.

He had been tracking

their movements with Kyuubi since the ramen stand.

He smiled to himself as he crossed to the window.

It was a warm night so Hinata shouldn't mind the window

being open for some air. As he turned his

demons hearing heard Sakura whisper "See no problem." Naruto chuckled

to himself as he went back to

the table and sat down.Hinata emerged from the bathroom with a

very lovely yukata on it was pale

lavender with a floral print. She crossed to Naruto and stood for his approval.

The young man stood and

admired the sight. "I'm speechless koneko, that is absolutely beautiful

and so are you." Hinata grabbed

him and held him tightly. "I'm scared kawaii but it's a good type of fear.

I'm scared that after tonight I

won't want to leave." Naruto gripped her shoulders gently and

looked into her eyes. "No matter what

happens tonight, I want you to know how special you always have

been and will continue to be for me.

I hope we are both mature enough to enjoy each others company

and still be careful as to how our

relationship proceeds. If we end up in a more permanent arrangement

I want both of us to know we didn't

rush. I want to ask you one more time, are you sure you want to stay tonight?"

the man said.Hinata

nodded her head. "That's one thing I'm absolutely sure about," she said.

Naruto pulled the girl close and

kissed her, he let his hands roam over her silk clad body.

Hinata trembled at his touch. She reached

down and undid the tie on her yukata so Naruto could slide his hands

onto her bare skin. As he touched

her she moaned slightly. The man kissed down her neck nibbling lightly.

He cupped her breasts in his

hands and gently squeezed them. Hinata shuddered as he did.

Lowering his head he trapped one of her

nipples in his mouth and flicked it with his tongue.

Hinata jumped, as if she had been shocked.Sakura

and Ino watched for the perch in the tree, their own

breathing coming faster and deeper. "Damn it girl I

don't know how much of this I can take," Ino said her voice ragged.

Sakura nodded she too was getting

extremely aroused. Naruto smiled as he heard the girl's comments.

He decided to have some real fun.

He whispered to Hinata that they were being watched and by whom.

Hinata gave him a sinister look and

whispered back. "Then lets make sure they have something to watch."

With an evil gleam in her eye,

Hinata slid down and undid the belt on Naruto's trousers.

Sakura and Ino watched in shock as Hinata

knelt in front of Naruto. "Man I never would have thought our sweet little

princess would do that to a guy?"

Ino squeaked. "Well haven't you?" Sakura asked laughing.

"Hell yes I've done that but Hinata-chan come

on I'll bet this was her first kiss too."

"I don't know she looked pretty experienced in the kissing department.

" Sakura said. Naruto soon realized that this was

not Hinata's first time with a man. "Kawaii please if you

don't stop you're going to drive me right over the edge." He gasped.

"Hinata stopped and looked up at the man.

"That's exactly what I want Naru-kun, please I love it this way."

Within minutes Naruto gave

Hinata her prize, The girl stood and hugged him tightly.

"I wonder what our spies thought of that?" She

whispered to Naruto."Holy shit do you see what she's doing to

That girls no virgin." Ino said with

certainty. "It's funny though who was her boyfriend?" she mused.

"Well maybe she got frisky with either

Kiba or Shino on their missions.

You know how cold and lonely some of those are." Sakura said. Both

girls were trembling with excitement as they watched.

Naruto picked his princess up and carried her to the

bed. He gently laid her down and then began kissing her again.

This time he didn't stop as he traced his

kisses down across her stomach.

He reached her tight soft curls and looked up at her. The glaze in her

eyes told him she didn't want him to stop.

"Oh god he's going to do her now," Ino gasped. "Ino please, I

can see, I don't need a play by play," Sakura snapped.

"Okay sorry it's just I would so love to be Hinata

right now." Ino whispered. "Me too," Sakura said just as softly.

Naruto began kissing and nibbling Hinata's

sensitive places. Her squeals of joy and her seductive movements

made it very clear he was doing just

what she wanted. She was close to reaching her peak and

tried to pull away from his probing tongue. He

gripped her hips and held her firmly in place.

He sped up his actions as her cries of delight got louder.

Hinata exploded in a shattering release.

She was gasping for air as he drained her. He didn't stop until

she was begging him too. He kissed back up to her mouth;

She was gasping for air but still had enough

strength to grab him in a hug of desperation."OH god kawaii never has anyone

brought to the heights you

just have." Hinata purred. "Let me catch my breath and I'll show you some

of my other talents." Naruto

held the woman gently and kissed her lightly letting her calm down.

Sakura and Ino were speechless as

they sat in the tree. "Sakura-chan, I've got to go. If I stay here any longer I'm going

to go knock on that

mans door and beg him to fuck me. I can't take it any longer." Ino said.

Sakura looked at her friend with

tears in her eyes. "That should be me in there right now. He gave me so many

chances and I turned him

down, Now he loves another instead of me. I'm so stupid and god what a bitch I am."

Sakura hissed.

"Well yes you are but we just ignore it and put up with you anyway." Ino said giggling.

"Thanks a lot friend.

" Sakura said giggling too. The two women looked at each other as memories

of a lost friendship flooded

back. "Ino I'm sorry for ever abandoning you because of Sasuke.

I never stopped loving you and I never

stopped missing you." Ino hugged her friend. "I'll tell you what, come

back to my place and you can show

me how much you missed me." She said with a wink. Sakura smiled

she had hoped Ino would suggest

that.Naruto heard the girl's conversation in the tree. He listened to them climb

down and leave. He smiled

now he wouldn't have any more distractions as he showed Hinata the kind of

lover he wanted to be.

Hinata also showed her abilities much to Naruto's delight. She made sure he

knew the depth of her

affection for him. In turn Naruto left no doubt in the young woman's mind exactly

how he felt about her. It

was in the early morning hours that He finally let the exhausted girl drift off to sleep.

She was snuggled

close to him a contented smile on her face. Naruto laid for a while just

watching the princess sleep. He

knew it was just one night but he was sure it had changed his life.

And after all wasn't Sakura coming over tonight.
