I can't believe I let him do that to me. Hinata thought to herself as she lay in bed crying. Why on earth would he do that to me? If I didn't pull away how far would he have gone? And if he did have sex with me what would my future be like? Will I have children? Would he have left me to bear his children? What if he's planning to do the same thing Gaara was trying to do to me the past few months? No! NO! He wouldn't do such a thing. He said he liked me and I do too. No! I love him. He was always there for me when I was trouble. There's no way he would like me and not love. I mean if you like somebody you're supposed to love them, right? So many questions yet not a single one answered. I am sad very, very, sad.
That night she cried herself to sleep.

Dammit! I made the wrong decision. Naruto thought himself as he walked through the quiet streets of Kohana. What was I thinking? Wait, I wasn't even thinking. I did it for practically no reason except when I told her that I liked her more or did that just slip out? Did I really mean that? I'm going to have to apologize to her tomorrow morning if I return home.

Hinata woke with her eyes all puffy red from crying. (Even when she was sleeping and having nightmares at the same time.)
"Headache." she said as she got off the bed. She went to the bathroom, vomited, took a bath and went back to bed.
While she was still in bed crying her eyes out, the front door opened and Naruto stepped into the house. He went to the bedroom where Hinata was and knocked.
"Go away." the person in the room said

"Hinata, come on I didn't mean to go that far."

"Of course, and you think that I should believe that!" she screamed choking on her tears. He opened the door to find the room ransacked as if a tornado had hit it.

"Hinata, what did you do in here?"

"Mmmm... Let's see... I cried for more than three hours and I was so frustrated I practically destroyed the room. Is there anything else that you would like to know?"

"I'm s-.." Naruto was cut off when Hinata's cell phone rang. She picked it up.

"Hinata, Get your ass over here!" Neji shouted into the phone

"I'm not coming today." She said on the verge of tears

"What did that bastard Naruto do to you?!"

"Nothing okay. It's just between the two of us you know boyfriend girlfriend."

"Don't lie to me I know it when you lie!"

"I'll tell you some other time." She said through sobs.

"I told you, you could've believed me." he said as he hung up the phone

Naruto sat across form Hinata at the dinning table. They had been sitting there just looking at nothing in general but every now and then they snuck glances at each other. Both with grim faces. Naruto felt undeserving of this treatment. Hinata on the other hand was ripping apart at all the seams. Eventually Naruto spoke up breaking the silence between the two.

"Hinata please listen to me. Please..." He pleaded.

"What do you want Naruto?"

"To explain myself."

"Fine."

"I still like you, you know. But while I was kissing you I don't know. I felt that there was something else. I'm sorry I made you feel that way. I didn't know. I promise I won't go that far again. Unless you want me to." he said with a laugh

"Alright I'll forgive you..." She said giving a shaky smile through her dried tears.

"So you forgive me?" Naruto asked.

"Yes I do." Naruto leaned across the table and stroked her cheek, getting rid of the last tear. They both got up. She smiled again dazzling him and he smiled back and then hugged her.

"Alright so to the beach again,"

"Naruto!!" Hinata yelled.

"Just kidding!"

Hinata lay on her bed looking up at the ceiling. She was now officially moved in. In fact she had been for the past nine months. Now she and Naruto shared the apartment. She redecorated it a bit differently with some of the stuff she and Naruto had bought and the things in her old apartment. Now the walls were just the way she liked them. A nice shade between blue and purple. With pictures of her and Naruto on the desk and wall as well as her team, sister, and family. She also liked the black and white checkered pattern on the wall her bed was on making it seem as though the headboard continued on. She especially loved her bed it was all Indian silk in a deep shade of blue with checkered pillows and a brown teddy bear. Naruto knocked on the door.

"Come in." He opened the door and smiled as he sat on her bed.

He sighed "Hina do you mind if we go to the beach again."

"No not really." She really didn't mind it'd been about three months now since that incident and they'd gone out to different places and he didn't repeat the same acts as he had at the beach.

"Great then. Can we go soon." he said.

"Yup we can go right away. I never unpacked my beach stuff so it's all ready."

"Great." He motioned for her to come. She grabbed her red and white polka dotted tote bag. Naruto took his stuff and they headed for the beach.
XxXxXxX
They spent hours on the beach just splashing in the water. Then getting on their beach towels and drying off. Only looking at each other.
Naruto looked at Hinata and then at the waves. "Hinata..."
"Naruto..."

"I have something for you."

"Oh what is it?" Naruto looked at her and then at a small black little case. He opened it. In it was a ring with purple and pink gems shining.

"Naruto..." Hinata said speechless. He put it on her finger.

"And you can't take it off until I propose to you." Both of them laughed. Then Hinata did something unexpected and leaned in and kissed him. He was shocked that she would do such a thing. He kissed her back but, this time with more passion than hers.
Finally! My dream has come true. She happily thought to herself as the love of her life kissed her. She tried to keep up with him but, couldn't. Every time that happened a giggle would escape her mouth. Naruto would respond by playfully growling at the back of his throat. Which she would softly kiss. They were having so much fun with each other. Enjoying each other's company. He gave her another kiss before he gently pulled away from her. Just in time to hear his cell ringing. He picked it up and talked rapidly sounding alarmed. He looked at Hinata and sighed.
"It's ANBU." He said. "Have to go its urgent." Hinata looked at him. He kissed her cheek and then left.
XxXxXxX
Why did Naruto have to go just like that? ANBU called and he had to go often but why did he look like it had something to do with me. I wish he told me. Wait why didn't he tell me? Why? Maybe he doesn't want me to know. Maybe he just wants to get it over with. Maybe… Wait I have to stop with all this. We've been going out for eight months. It's not fair that he trusts me and I don't trust him back. I should really stop worrying like that.
Hinata sighed. She really didn't like that feeling like someone was watching her or that she was in danger. It was late now, and she was the only one home. She ate her dinner by herself. Naruto's stuff was in the fridge to keep it nice. Slowly she dragged herself to her room and fell asleep almost without even bothering to change into her pajamas.

Gaara waited patiently. Now was his chance with Naruto on that phony mission. How stupid Naruto could be at times. He was only being lured into a trap. Now no one was standing in the way of him and Hinata. He smiled again. Had Naruto thought that Gaara would go down so easily? Obviously he had, otherwise he would've killed him. Poor Naruto. It was unfortunate that Hinata was already fast asleep from worry. Gaara entered swiftly and noiselessly. He walked up to the bed and studied her for a minute. Then slowly decided what to do to her. Hinata awoke to find herself oddly strapped into a chair. She felt a breeze and soon realized she wasn't wearing a thing. She was stark naked and tied to a chair.
