The rest of the night went like always, dinner, shower and bed. The next morning Hinata was up early to train like always with Kiba and Shino, but her mind kept wondering back to…
"Temari-sama..."
"Hinata-chan look out!" Shino's monotone voice yelled as Kiba's attack blindsided her. Hinata grunted as she hit the ground with a hard thud.
"Are you OK?" The dog-like boy asked carefully as he looked down the Hyuuga girl.
"I'm fine, just a little tried I guess." Hinata lied knowingly as she got back to her feet.
"You shouldn't daydream went your training Hinata, you can get yourself hurt." Shino's flat tone warned as he came up next to Kiba.
"I'm sorry Shino-kun." The white-eyed girl apologized as she hung her head down.
"Don't be, jus' try to focus next time OK?" Kiba soothed lightly as he locked his hands behind his head.
"Maybe we should call it a day, it's going to rain." Shino looked to the clear sky above then back to his teammates.
"Yeah, I'm getting kinda hungry anyway." Dog-boy's stomach groaned as Akamaru barked in agreement. Shino followed behind him as they both turned to Hinata.
"Are you coming?" Kiba asked brightly with Akamaru on his head as Shino kept walking.
"I'll catch up with you two in a little while, OK?" Hinata assured sweetly as she touched the points of her index fingers together.
"OK, we'll see you later then." Kiba waved as he raced to catch up with Shino. The Hyuuga girl waited for her teammates to disappear as she slid back into her melancholy mood.
"Damn you Temari-chan, why do you have me feeling like this?"
Hinata felt her father's anger rise up in her again as she balled her fist. The Hyuuga's searing anger gave way to the building love in heart, she couldn't hate The Sand girl.
"I can't be angry at her for something she didn't do; it's my own fault, I should have never tempted myself with these feelings."
Hinata slumped under a nearby tree as she watched birds flying overhead. A light breeze rushed over dark-haired girl's face as she tried to face the facts.
"I'm I in love?"
No, Shinobi aren't supposed to have feelings, but why was she having them? She knew keeping these feelings bottled up was only making it worst; she needed to talk to someone, but whom? Sakura, TenTen and Temari were all on missions, and she was' in going anywhere near Ino for the time being. That was something she had decided on from the night before. Hinata watched a bird chirping from a branch above her as it dawned on her.
"Maybe Kurenai-sensai can help me?"
Hinata got to her feet as she thought where she could find her Sensai. After 10 minutes or so, and asking around Hinata found her Sensai at a small tea-shop on the edge of the village.
"Ahhhh Hinata-chan would you like to join me for some tea?" Kurenai asked as she lifted her cup. Hinata nodded with a smile and sat down.
"So how's training going?" The Dark-haired woman asked nicely as she sipped her tea.
"Good, I guess Sensai, but that's not why I came to talk to you, it's about something else." Hinata admitted bashfully as she looked down at her lap.
"Ohhhh really? Well what can I do for you then?" Kurenai wondered lightly as she set her cup down.
"It's about, well you see..." Hinata mumbled as she fidgeted in place. The Genjutus master tilted her head, as she knew the Hyuuga's nervous tendencies would take a second to pass.
"Hinata-chan, you know you can tell me anything right?" Kurenai said smoothly as she poured the young girl a hot cup of tea and slowly pushed it across the table. Hinata took a deep breath as she wrapped her hands around the warm cup.
"I've been having these feelings for someone lately and I can't stop thinking about…" Hinata blushed darkly as she couldn't look Kurenai in the eyes.
"Hinata-chan, its perfectly fine to have these feelings at your age, so who's the lucky boy?" The red-eyed Jounin chuckled lightly as she sipped her tea again.
"I-It's not a boy." Hinata's face went completely red as Kurenai made a funny noise in her throat, almost spitting her tea out. Kurenai was 'in sure what to say as she just stared at the young girl.
"I'm sorry, I-I shouldn't have bothered you with my problems Sensai." Hinata got up quickly as she bowed her head in apology and turned around.
"Hinata, sit back down." Kurenai had already gripped Hyuuga's wrist before the girl could get away. Reluctantly, Hinata sat back down and stared at the tea in front of her.
"Who would of thought the Hyuuga's heiress would be… a lesbian?"
Judging Hinata for her sexual preference was' in Kurenai's place, she herself had spend the night in the company of women before and she had enjoy it, there was no denying that sex with another woman was a wonderful experience.
"OK, curious at best."
With the life and death pressures of a ninja, dealing with so many emotions like these made it hard to live a normal life, so any outlet from that life was a welcomed endeavor, even if it was loveless sex.
"I know how you feel Hinata, its not weird or strange so don't feel embarrassed about it." Kurenai assured lovingly as she stared at the girl until she locked onto her white eyes.
"It's not...?" The white-eyed girl asked feebly as she finally gripped her cup and drank.
"No, I've had the same feelings too, in fact I bet a lot of the other girls your age have or gone through the same thing everyday." Kurenai smiled kindheartedly as Hinata choked on her tea and started coughing this time.
"You..., Sensai?" The purple-haired girl managed between coughs as she glared at her teacher.
"I'm not bragging Hinata, it's something us kunoichi...,, "do" naturally." Kurenai explained exhaustively as she had Hinata's complete attention.
"What do you mean "do" naturally?" Hinata asked strangely as she now hung on her Sensai's every word.
"Being a ninja is'in easy, you should know this very well by now, so we have to... relieve ourselves of that harsh life sometimes and sex... is one way to help ease that." The red-eyed woman continued carefully as she poured herself another cup of tea, steeling her hand.
"But what does that mean?" Hinata questioned quietly as she tapped her fingers around her cup.
"Ohhhh well, OK, sex and love are very different to a ninja, to love someone male or female it bonds you to that person, causing you to worry about them more and more and in the life of a ninja the less your distracted by your feelings the better, where sex is…" Kurenai trailed off as she blushed herself.
"… A release?" Hinata finished her master's sentence as her mind clicked remembering how good Temari's hands, mouth and body treated her.
"You could, say that." The red-eyed woman whispered stupidly as her own embarrassment rose in her face.
"Thank you Kurenai-sensai... for everything!" Hinata smiled brightly as she got feet.
"Ah you're… welcome?" Kurenai replied unsurely as the Hyuuga girl ran for the door. Kurenai looked at Hinata's cup of tea as she slowly shook her head.
"Good luck Hinata-chan."
Hinata raced through the streets, smiling wildly as she sprung to the rooftops. The Hyuuga flew gracefully from building to building enjoying the warm summer breeze on her face.
"I feel light as a feather."
Hinata dropped cautiously on the edge of a roof and crouched down. Below and across the street, a blond girl worked quietly, stocking plants above her head. The white-eyed chuckled as she picked up a good sized rock and focused her Byakugan. Ino hummed lightly to herself as she raised another potted plant over her head. Just as her arms reached full extension the plant exploded in her hands. Dirt rained down on Ino's head as she shook herself and cursed aloud.
"Who the fuck did that!" Ino wiped the dirt from her face as she turned around. It took a second but Ino's eyes glared up at Hinata smiling down at her.
"Hinata?! Your going to have to pay for that!" Ino removed her apron and stepped forward.
"You got to catch me first." Smirking, Hinata made full height on the ledge and ran off.
"Mom! watch the shop, I got to go collect a debt." Ino darted after Hinata as she sprinted at full speed. Hinata glanced over her shoulder to Ino giving chase, with a dirt covered frown.
"Good, she's mad."
Hinata dropped down from the rooftops and dashed into the training ground and hid. Ino followed Hinata trail in the trees and slowed down as she looked around.
"Hinata, stop messing around and pay for the plant!" Ino yelled viciously as she waited for a answer. Silence, The flower girl balled her fists as she started to lose her cool.
"What is she playing?"
The Blonde searched around as she gritted her teeth.
"I'm going have to pay for that damn plant if she doesn't cough up the dough for it."
"Hinata, fucking answer me!" Ino screamed as she threw a kunai into a tree. A sinister chuckle started as Hinata suddenly gripped the blonde from behind and squeezed her chest.
"Uhhhh Hinata, w-what are you doing?" Ino demanded shockingly as the Hyuuga held her tightly. It dawned suddenly on Ino that Hinata was naked as her hands brushed up the slender girl's body behind her.
"I just wanted someone to train with, that's all." Hinata purred softly as she stroke her nose up and down the blonde's slim neck. Ino shuddered in place as the white-eyed girl continued to massage her full breasts.
"Well, you could of uhhhh, just asked me instead of smashing that plant, that you are going to pay for." Ino ordered sternly even with Hinata's playful hands still at work. Suddenly and without warning Hinata pushed Ino hard and away. The flower girl stumbled forward as she got her feet steady and turned around, madder then hell.
"Hey what the hell is your problem!?" Ino pointed as her blue eyes fell Hinata's naked body.
"Nothing, you'll have to beat me first." Hinata smirked evilly as she raised her hands in the Hyuuga's gentle fist style.
"A some "training" for me too? This is going to be easy." Ino knew the routine as she started to strip down.
"We'll see." Hinata bit her lower lip and as soon as Ino's clothes hit the ground the two started immediately. After an half hour of fighting and the predicted love-making, the two lay drained and leaking on the ground in each others arms.
"You don't know how long I've dreamed of this moment." Ino exhaled loudly as the Hyuuga shifted quietly and got up.
"Where are you going?" Ino asked strangely as she rolled on to her side and looked up at Hinata sliding her panties on.
"I have some other things to take care of, this should cover the plant I broke." The white-eyed girl answered swiftly, getting dress as she pulled money from her pocket and held it out to Ino, now sitting up, but still naked.
"It's no problem I'll jus' say I dropped it, why don't you stay awhile?" Ino's blue eyes gleamed with a wanting Hinata had seen and cast countless times.
"No, and don't you have patrol tonight?" The dark-haired girl reminded sharply as she zipped her coat up.
"Damn!" Ino got to her feet and started to get dressed in a hurry. The Hyuuga smiled softly as she just stood admiring Ino's body being covered. The blonde kicked her shoes on as she stood in front of Hinata.
"I'll… see you later then?" Ino blushed darkly as both girls looked at each other.
"Ahhhh, yeah." Hinata smiled this time as Ino grinned love-struck, turned and sped off. Hinata looked up to the sky as they started to darken over the village.
"They were right, I'd better home."
