White Lace
Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. I hope that the site will fix the glitch soon. Anyway, in this chapter, Sasuke and Hinata will finally get to try out some stuff. ^^
Chapter Nine
Hinata blinks. Sasuke had been right. His aunt was absolutely psychotic. It got to the point where Fugaku had to restrain his sister-in-law. Aiya and Kenji looked completely unconcerned. It seemed they were used to such behavior.
"Mom! You're embarrassing me." Kizu whines.
"Well we can't just let the Summons think they can steal your cake." She shoots back.
"It's not about the cake!" He protests.
"Oh alright. Let's head home. When I get my hands on that ugly toad and that pig of a snake though." She trails off letting everyone imagine what she'd do for dramatic effect as they walk off.
"Never a dull moment." Mikoto says, chuckling nervously.
"Sasuke is right. Your sister is insane. You owe our son an apology for the lecture. He was clearly correctly diagnosing her issues." Fugaku muses.
"Fugaku." Mikoto says and sharply elbows her husband in the side to shut him up.
"Sasuke! You're burnt." Hinata cries out.
"Oh. Yeah. I guess I am. It's alright. She got my sleeve more than any-" Sasuke didn't get to finish that sentence as Hinata was dragging him inside to the kitchen.
Sasuke blinks. He'd never seen Hinata so…assertive before. She'd just drug him off like Aiya would do to Kenji. He supposed in some weird way that was probably a good sign?
"Dammit. I can't reach it. The aloe is on the top shelf." She mutters.
"I'll get it." He says leaning over her and reaching up to grab it.
"Thanks." She says, yanking off his shirt (well what was left of it), and runs his arm underneath the water.
"Hinata, it's really nothing. We come from a fire clan. Most of us get worse than this on a daily basis." He assures her.
"Sasuke that's at least a second degree burn." She says warningly and bandages up his hand.
"Well you've done everything but kiss it better. So I think I'll live." He says teasingly.
"I could do that too, if you like." Hinata says shyly.
"I would DEFINITELY like." The Uchiha agrees.
"Good." She mumbles and leans up on her tip toes to kiss him. (Sasuke had a good head over Hinata in height.)
Sasuke knew that he should take this slow. He shouldn't startle her. Hinata was so sweet, so innocent.
He should kiss her gently. His body though, kindly told his mind to FUCK OFF. He'd waited years for this, ever since he saw her in that lacy white nightgown.
So when her soft lips brushed against his shyly, he took advantage of it. Sasuke didn't hesitate to deepen the kiss and pull her closer, grabbing her by the ass and letting his tongue explore her mouth. She tasted like honey, he decided.
Hinata gasps into the kiss and wraps her arms around his neck. She was surprised when she felt his hands on her THERE. But it felt good. It let her know that he wanted her and if his hands didn't do the job, his tongue would have.
"Nhh." She moans into the kiss, content to let him set the pace.
That little moan did it. Sasuke's Sharingan activated. He pushed her onto the kitchen counter top and deepened the kiss.
Hinata suddenly had a whole new appreciation for the counter. She could see what made Fugaku and Mikoto favor it so much now. Sasuke breaks the kiss and nips at her lower lip.
"Mine." He growls in a primal, possessive fashion that should have terrified Hinata, but it just excited her more.
"Do you want to go find out if I'm loud or not?" He asks boldly.
Before, Sasuke could get an answer to his question…Itachi and Kurenai stumbled into the kitchen. They were also kissing and too caught up in each other to realize they weren't alone.
"What is it with your family and kitchens?" Hinata murmurs.
"Itachi do you fucking mind?!" Sasuke growls.
"Oh…hello, Sasuke." Itachi says after breaking the kiss with Kurenai.
Kurenai at least looked embarrassed at having been caught. Hinata shared her mortification. Sasuke just looked irritated that they were interrupted. Itachi looked well somewhat amused.
"So…I guess my little brother finally manned up and confessed. Well you were here first. Kurenai, would you like to go someplace more private?" He asks her.
"That'd probably be a good idea." She agrees and walks off with Itachi.
"That was embarrassing." Hinata mumbles.
"Yeah." He agrees.
God dammit! He had waited four years to finally tell Hinata how he felt. She obviously liked him back. They were kissing and Itachi just HAD to walk in on them. It was like Itachi just instinctively had "bad timing."
"Maybe we should leave the kitchen to. It's not exactly private." She mumbles.
"Yeah." He agrees, debating if he was bold enough to ask if she wanted to go this room.
He didn't want to push her too hard or too fast. But at least his room would be fucking private! No Itachi walking in on them.
"Maybe your room?" She asks shyly.
"Yeah, my room." He says with a smile and walks off with Hinata.
On second thought, he should probably thank Itachi. Yeah, he should send him a gift basket or something. Hinata was going to be in HIS room. That meant a world of possibilities had just opened up.
Meanwhile, Mikoto and Fugaku had successfully restrained her crazy sister. Really, the woman needed to relax. It was just a cake.
"That horrid woman, singed you." Fugaku mutters.
"Oh…didn't even notice." His wife says.
"It is difficult to believe you came from the same womb, some days." He says with a sigh, leading his wife off to their room.
"Some days, I wonder to." She admits with a smile.
He shakes his head and treats Mikoto's burn. Fugaku was almost positive that his wife was getting some sort of kick out of this. The Uchiha Patriarch thought that she enjoyed it when he played the role of the protector.
"There. That's better. You should be more careful around her. I don't know what I would do, if I were to lose you." He tells her.
"I feel the same." She says with a smile and kisses him.
"Good. Now where did we put those handcuffs?" He returns her kiss.
"Top left drawer of the dresser." She says slyly.
Meanwhile, Hiashi trains by himself. He needed to clear his head. Training provided an easy way to do that. The Hyuga didn't want to take his concerns out on a family member, so it was better to train alone today.
"Should have seen this coming, years ago." He mutters.
The Hyuga Patriarch knew that Sasuke had seen Hinata in her…unmentionables when he got rid of that damn snake. He was a fifteen year old boy. He was GOING to respond. It was only natural. Hiashi certainly didn't hold that against him.
He didn't think that the brat would actually act on it though. Hiashi admitted that he had conducted himself properly while under his roof. But that didn't mean he wasn't being improper under another roof with her.
"And as he hasn't done anything, that I'm aware of…I can't say anything." He mutters.
Sasuke wasn't just some random boy. Oh no, he was an Uchiha. To make matters worse, he was the son of the clan head. His normal fatherly talks would not be tolerated by Fugaku.
Hiashi knew Fugaku. He'd grown up with the man. He wouldn't respond well to him chakra blocking Sasuke to teach the boy to keep his hands to himself until marriage. The Hyuga leader didn't want a clan feud over the matter. So he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
With the Akatsuki, they decided to move onto the next phase of their plans. Pein sends Sasori to give the Leaf a nice fright. They needed them scared. Scared people acted stupidly. People who acted stupidly were easy targets.
Sasori smirks as he paints in blood on the side of the Leaf's hospital. This ought to get their attention quite nicely. The fun is just beginning.
Back in the Uchiha District, Sasuke was blissfully unaware of the chaos that was about to erupt. Currently, they were "trying" necking. Sasuke decided he liked necking. In particular, he very much liked those sounds Hinata made during it.
Hinata tilts her head to the side and closes her eyes. She squirms and moans when he bites down on her neck. Then he licks the love bite soothingly and kisses it. She didn't know why it felt so good, it just did.
"I like it when you whimper." He admits and bites down again.
"Do you want me to…do the same to you?" she asks shyly.
"Hinata you can touch me wherever, whenever you like. You don't need to ask permission."
"Might be easier if you laid down. You are taller than me." She mumbles.
"Yes, men are generally taller than women." He says dryly and lays down.
"Hmpf." Hinata says as she straddles Sasuke and leans down so her mouth was by his neck.
Hinata places a light kiss against his neck. She feels Sasuke shiver. The bluenette takes this as a good sign and presses a more confident kiss against his collarbone.
The Hyuga woman decides she must be doing something right, because his Sharingan was still on. She bites down lightly. He did it to her. So it was only fair.
"I like it." He murmurs and his hands slid over her back in a gentle caress.
"Good." She says and keeps doing it, liking the way he'd arch against her and his gentle caresses.
"Really good." He murmurs and apparently feeling bolder, he slides his hands underneath her shirt, and glides them over her breasts which he could feel were covered in a lacy bra.
Hinata blushes madly. She squirms and it looked like she was going to wiggle off him. Damn. Maybe he'd pushed just a little too far there.
"You don't like it? I'll stop if you don't." He promises her.
"I like it. You just surprised me." She mumbles.
"It's alright. You're still dressed. If you tell to stop, I will." He promises and caresses her breasts lightly, watching her reaction closely.
Hinata was still blushing. But she was leaning into his touch. She goes back to kissing his neck and Sasuke sighs in pleasure. He decides to go for it and squeezes her ample bosom, drawing a moan from his new girlfriend.
He noticed that her nipples had tightened underneath her shirt from the attention. They were taunting him. He tugs on them lightly with his teeth causing Hinata to jump.
"Sorry…too far?" He asks like a kid that got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
"M-aybe a little." She mumbles.
"Did I bite too hard?" He asks.
"No. It's not th-at. I liked it. It's just…" She trails off.
"A little too fast. Alright. I got it." He says and pulls her into his lap.
"Yeah." She admits.
"It's alright. If I wanted easy, I would have grabbed one of my fan girls." He assures her and kisses her cheek, cuddling into her.
"…" Hinata didn't know how to respond to that.
"I don't mind waiting. I already waited four years. At least now, I know that I can kiss you and do this." He murmurs biting down on her neck teasingly.
"Nnh! Go-od to know." She moans.
Elsewhere in the village, the Hokage frowns. Painted in blood was an ominous message. He had to get that removed before the other villagers noticed it.
If they saw that, it might incite a panic. Things were already tense enough. He'd have to call a meeting though. The ninjas had to be briefed about this latest development.
"Summon the Jonins and Chunins. I doubt the Genin are high profile targets due to their age, it's unlikely they could sire children." He says.
A short while later, the Jonins and Chunins are all notified. Kenji wants to go the meeting. But Aiya was putting her foot down.
"Oh no you don't, Mister. Remember what happened last time." She says.
"It was just a scratch. Besides, I'm better now." He protests.
"No. You are staying here with me. Besides, some have to stay behind to watch the clan's children." She points out.
"Oh alright." He says with a sigh.
"She's right. For once in your life, do the smart thing." Fugaku mutters.
"Boy, I helped to bring you into this world and I can help take you out. Don't let this cane fool you!" Kenji growls in annoyance.
"You are all bark and no bite at this point." Fugaku replies.
"Dear, stop teasing your father." Mikoto mutters.
"He started it! Fool acts like he's still Sasuke's age." He points out.
"I've been itching for some action." Mikoto's sister says.
"Um Aunt Mitszu, maybe you should stay here. The children will need more protection than just grandmother and grandfather can provide." Itachi reasons.
"No. I'm going." She says smugly.
The other Uchihas sigh. Hinata couldn't help but giggle a little bit. That seemed to direct Aiya's attention to her.
"What happened to your neck?" She asks in concern.
"My neck? Nothing. Why?" Hinata asks in confusion.
"That's not important right now. The Hokage wants us." Sasuke says.
"Hickeys." His grandfather says.
"GRANDFATHER! You aren't helping." Sasuke hisses.
"I'm just saying. Thorough job though." He says sounding vaguely impressed.
"Alright. Alright. That's enough embarrassing them for now. Let's go. Sasuke was right. The Hokage needs us." Mikoto throws out the lifeline as they start off.
The Uchihas, Hinata, Kurenai, and Mirai take off. Mirai was sitting on Itachi's shoulders. She seemed to be enjoying the piggyback ride. She was too young to understand how serious the situation was. (Somehow Kenji talked Aiya into letting him go. Something about a foot rub…)
"Is everyone here?" The Hokage asks.
Affirmatives went around. He sighs and passes out pictures he had taken of the gruesome scene. That was a lot of blood required to make such large letters. If it was all taken from one person…that person was surely dead by now.
"As you can see, we have a problem on our hands. I'm afraid that whoever is behind this, is more persistent than we had given them credit for. I fear that the other village kidnappers were just used as a distraction. They probably wanted to test our reaction times." The Hokage explains.
Sasuke wraps his arms around Hinata protectively. He knew that she was a high profile target. Those eyes of hers on the Black Market would sell for millions, as would his actually. Hinata leans into him, seeming to take comfort in the gesture.
"Deidara was sent during the last attack." Itachi points out.
"Yes, it seems the Akatsuki is somehow involved. How heavily, I do not know. But they are not to be underestimated. Each Akatsuki member is highly lethal." The Hokage warns.
"I am still convinced that Deidara is a woman." Fugaku says.
"Fugaku…that is really not the point." The Hokage replies and rubs the back of his head sheepishly.
"Husband, he's clearly a man. You can tell by the voice." Mikoto argues.
"Back in my day, one could tell the difference between a man and a woman with ease. It's like that boy that Sasuke fought in the Land of the Waves. What was his name…?" Kenji asks.
"Haku." Sasuke supplies.
"Yes, Haku. You are telling me that was a boy?" His grandfather asks in an equally baffled voice.
"Haku, I will concede I thought him a girl as well." The Hokage admits.
"Lord Hokage aren't we getting off topic?" Itachi muses.
"Yes, yes of course. I am going to organize an intelligence party. Send them to the last location that we have reports of the Akatsuki passing through. The rest of you, continue Operation Yin and Yang." He says.
"Great! So who is going? I mean I really wanna go." Naruto says.
"You are going, along with Sasuke, Hinata, Sakura, Itachi, and Kurenai. Genjutsu users would prove useful if it comes to a fight." He mutters.
"Don't worry dear, we will watch your daughter." Aiya assures Kurenai.
"Thank you." She murmurs.
"Oh it is no problem. It has been so long since I've held a little one." She says with a bright smile.
"Our intelligence team should pack and will set out tomorrow." The Hokage says and dismisses them.
The ninjas all head off. There was a lot of whispering going on. Everyone was worried.
"So hickeys…" Shisui says, gliding over to his cousin.
"Don't even start." Sasuke warns him.
"No. No. I'm really proud of you for taking some initiative. Just remember what Jirayia said." He taunts Sasuke.
"Hinata, I'll see you in a bit. I think my cousin wants his daily beating." Sasuke says and races after Shisui who was now running to avoid Sasuke's Chidori.
"Boy can scoot." Kurenai says with a chuckle.
"Yeah." Hinata agrees.
"Well I guess avoiding the Chidori is rather motivational." The curly haired ninja muses.
"Yes, it looks like it would be painful to get hit with it." Hinata agrees.
"I'm glad that things seem to be going well between you and Sasuke." Kurenai says to her student.
"Th-ank you, Sensei. I'm glad that you and Itachi are…" She trails off.
"Getting along, so well?" She offers kindly.
"Yeah." Hinata says.
"Well let's get going. We have to pack." She says and walks off with Hinata.
"Do you know what Jirayia told Sasuke?" Hinata asks curiously.
"I have no idea. But whatever it is, it's apparently enough to get him riled up." She says with a shrug.
"CHIDORI!" Sasuke throws his attack at Shisui.
"Oh there's no reason to be so bashful. Guess I can't call you Sasgay anymore." He says using the nickname he'd given to his cousin years ago.
Shisui had given Sasuke that damn nickname after he found out about the Kissing Incident. Yeah, Sasuke and Naruto had kissed. But it had been an accident. Still his cousin would never let that one go.
"I'm going to kill you!" Sasuke growls.
"You deserve the beating that is coming to you." Itachi muses at Shisui.
"Oh come on! That was pure gold." He protests.
"More like pure black and blue, when Sasuke gets done with you." Itachi chuckles.
Mikoto shakes her head as she watches the scene. She couldn't help but smile. Yes, her family was rather…boisterous. But she wouldn't have it any other way. She smiles and walks off with Fugaku.
"Boys will be boys." He tells her.
"I know. It's only natural they'd tease each other." She agrees.
"Ouch. My grandson has a brutal left hook." Kenji says and winces as Shisui goes flying.
"Indeed he does. He gets that from me." Aiya says with pride."
"True, my love." He agrees with his wife.
About twenty minutes later, Sasuke decides he has suitably punished Shisui. He heads back to his home. He was surprised to see Hinata pacing a bit. She was worried about something.
"It'll be alright. I mean yeah the Akatsuki is tough. But they've never gone up against me, Itachi, and Naruto before. I mean the Nine Tails alone…" He reassures her.
"Oh it's not that." She mumbles.
"What is it?" He asks.
"Sakura." The bluenette replies.
"What about her? They stuck her on the team in case we needed a medic." He says.
"She…likes you. She's pretty." Hinata admits.
"You're…jealous of Sakura?" Sasuke asks, blinking.
"Maybe a little…" The Hyuga woman confesses.
"She's not the girl that activated my Sharingan. She is definitely not the girl that I covered in hickeys. She's a good medic. I don't want her to get hurt or anything. But I don't care about her that way. I guess I didn't do my job thoroughly enough. If you are doubting how I feel. Maybe the bra needs to come off this time." He says.
"SASUKE!" Hinata blushes scarlet red, faints, and Sasuke catches her.
"Well…at least she's not jealous anymore?" Sasuke muses.
