White Lace
Author's Note: Reviews are working again. I'm so happy :D. So now I'm finally able to tally what your votes were on what should get Hinata going. Sasuke likes white lace. The votes were as follows. Mostly they were Sasuke's body parts…so Sasuke's abs 2, ass 1, Sharingan 2, arms/muscles 1. We also had one vote for Sasuke's scent. So I'm going with abs, just because I haven't seen it really done much before. Anyway, please enjoy this chapter. Thank you guys for al the input. I think we covered most of Sasuke's body except for his…"Southern Sharingan," if you know what I mean ;)
Chapter Ten
Hinata had always pictured Sasuke as very professional. He normally was. But now apparently that took a backseat to his hormones. The Intelligence Team had left earlier that day and were making camp for the night. As soon as the others were out of sight, Sasuke decided he was going to encourage Hinata to "explore" as he called it.
"Sasuke, I really don't think we should be doing things like this on a mission." She mumbles, face turning red.
"Hinata, relax. Itachi, Kurenai, Naruto, and the Sakura are with us. At least one of them would notice if something was going on. Even if we get carried away, it will be fine. I won't let anyone hurt you." He murmurs and caresses her cheek, looking at her with those gorgeous ruby red eyes of his.
In the future, she would learn that once Sasuke got to Sharingan level of seduction, there was not going to be any stopping him. At the moment though, she couldn't resist those eyes. So…warm and pleading. She felt so needed, so wanted. Maybe just a little bit. Honestly, she should have known better. Give an Uchiha a mile and they will go for a continent.
"What'd you have in mind?" She asks shyly.
Sasuke smiles. It was a dazzling smile. He takes her hand and slides it under his chest, over where his heart was. She could feel it's steady beat underneath her fingertips.
"Feel that?" He asks.
"It's your heartbeat." The bluenette answers.
"Exactly. It beats for you, only for you." He murmurs and presses his lips against hers.
She smiles and kisses him back. She wraps her arms around his neck and runs her fingers through her hair. Hinata hears Sasuke purr with approval into the kiss.
Yes, Sasuke could purr. It should have been cute. But somehow it was just incredibly erotic, probably because of the slight guttural quality to it. The Hyuga woman wasn't sure how it was physically possible for a man to purr. She wondered if it was a Uchiha thing briefly, the passion of his kiss blocked out all other thoughts.
Hinata decides to explore, like he clearly wanted to. She shyly slides her hands back underneath his shirt and over his chest. When her hands slid over his abs, she shivered.
The bluenette couldn't see them but she could feel them. She'd always known that Sasuke's physical form was exceptional, the result of training and genetics. (Uchihas were built to be lethal, but it was a beautiful lethal.) But feeling it was another matter.
Itachi watches from a safe distance with Kurenai. He was within hearing shot and he was positive that Sasuke would be able to see him. Hinata's back was towards him and she was clearly distracted by the kiss. So she probably wouldn't.
"Kurenai, do you have any paper and something to write with?" He asks slyly.
"Yes, why?" She questions him a little suspiciously.
"It is my sacred duty to embarrass the Hell out of my brother. Besides, that was a good line. He deserves credit for that one." The older Uchiha reasons.
"You my love, are horrible." She says and kisses his cheek, handing him the requested items.
"I know. I never claimed to be otherwise." He murmurs as he writes a giant ten on the square sheet of paper in bold black writing.
Itachi flashes the paper at Sasuke. Sasuke clearly sees it. At first his face scrunches up, clearly trying to see what his older brother had written. Then he reads it. Sasuke doesn't miss a beat. He continues kissing his girlfriend rather heatedly and flips Itachi off, without Hinata notices.
"Oh he's good." Itachi says.
Idly, Itachi was impressed. His brother was skilled at multitasking it seemed. He was able to kiss his girlfriend and flip Itachi off at the same time. Well he was an Uchiha. Uchihas could do anything.
"He learned from the best." Kurenai points out.
"Indeed he did." The older Uchiha agrees.
Meanwhile back in the Uchiha District, Fugaku watches as his wife paces. He knew that she was worried. The Uchiha Patriarch thought such worries were foolish.
Anyone of the members on that Intelligence Team was fully capable of defending themselves. While he greatly admired the sight of his wife's beautiful behind as she paced by him, he knew that it was his job to soothe her. He decides to take action.
"Mikoto, the boys are grown. You have to stop fretting over them like they are newborn babes." He gently chides her.
"I know. I suppose it doesn't matter how old they get. I'll never stop worrying." She says with a smile.
"That's why you are a good mother. But you aren't doing yourself or them any good by worrying. That and if you keep that up we are going to need a new carpet. If we get a new carpet, Aiya will want to redecorate everything. You know how she gets." He warns her.
"Yes, I know." She chuckles.
"Come, let's go for a walk in the gardens." He says, offering her his hand, and she takes it before they set off.
"They are beautiful in spring." She muses.
"Yes, they are. Don't worry about the boys." He says and kisses her cheek.
"I'll try not to. I'm happy that they found nice girls though." She muses.
"Mikoto, Hinata is 19. Kurenai is a mother herself. I'm not sure if the label girl is accurate." He chuckles.
"You know what I meant." She gives him a playful swat to the side of the head.
"Yes, I do. I'm glad as well. If only someone would capture Shisui's heart, so the clan could have some peace." He says with a smirk.
"Yes, if only." She says with a smile.
The Akatsuki was hard at work. They were planting false leads for the Intelligence Mission. Pein wondered how long they could keep the team traveling in circles. It didn't matter though. They just needed to stall for time. Soon enough they would have all the tailed beasts.
"Well isn't that sweet?" Kisame mutters sarcastically, when he sees Sasuke and Hinata.
"Little brother, GET DOWN!" Itachi says and slams onto Sasuke and Hinata.
He cries out in pain when Kisame's sword swings down on his back. Fortunately, it knocked the wind out of his sails, but it wasn't a lethal hit.
"Itachi!" Sasuke says.
"Sorry to ruin your moment with your girlfriend. Gotta admit that was real smooth. Quite the little Romeo you are. Too bad, I have to kill you all." Kisame says.
"You're out of your mind. You're outnumbered." Kurenai says.
"Unless he has some comrades waiting nearby." Itachi mutters, getting up.
"It's a distraction!" Sasuke says and chases off after a flash of orange he saw.
"Clever." Pein says and sends some of his bodies after him.
"Sasuke!" Sakura races after him, only to be slammed to the ground by Kisame's punch.
Hinata looks at Sakura in a panic. But she had to follow Sasuke. He was on the trail of someone or something. He was going to need help. She doubted that it would be a one on one fight.
"If you run, I won't kill you. Killing you isn't necessary to achieve our goals." He states.
"Funny, I was just going to make you the same offer." Sasuke smirks.
"Dammit!" Itachi growls and follows the rapidly disappearing form of Hinata.
This had trap written all over it. His foolish little brother. Itachi couldn't believe he had just charged off like that. He had no plan at all. Oh wait, yes he could. Clearly Naruto was rubbing off on Sasuke.
The battle that followed was vicious. Itachi had had enough of this and was going to try his Tsukuyomi, when they suddenly retreated. It didn't make any sense.
"Hinata, are you okay?" Sasuke rushes over to her and craddles her in his arms, Kisame had slashed at her with the sword. There was a lot of blood.
Sakura tried to get to her feet. She felt dizzy. Itachi tells her to sit down, she probably had a concussion.
"Sakura, do you think you can heal Hinata's injury?" Kurenai asks.
"I think so. When the ground stops spinning." She replies.
"Good. Sasuke, does it look like a lethal wound?" The Genjutsu mistress asks.
"No. It's bleeding badly, but not enough to be worried for her life." Sasuke says and rips off his sleeve, wrapping it around her bleeding shoulder.
"Naruto, carry Sakura. Let's head back to the village." Kurenai says.
"Got it!" He says and scoops Sakura up in his arms.
"Damn Sakura, you are getting heavy." He mumbles.
"HOW DARE YOU?!" She smacks him.
"You are such a loser. You never tell a woman that. You basically told her that she's fat." Sasuke says and rolls his eyes.
"Oh like you are any better!" Naruto scoffs.
"Actually, he was quite the slow starter, but I must admit that Sasuke has improved in the usage of his seduction techniques. I'm quite proud really." Itachi muses.
"Itachi." Sasuke says warningly.
"Even Kisame noticed." He adds as an afterthought.
"If I wasn't tending to Hinata's injury, I would so kick your ass right now." Sasuke says and rolls his eyes.
"But you are. Oh and don't delude yourself like that little brother. There is no universe in which you will ever defeat me." Itachi says smugly.
"Itachi is trash talking. Now I have seen everything." Naruto mutters as they set off.
A few hours later they are back in the Leaf. After delivering their report to the Hokage, they make a quick stop at the hospital. Hinata gets her injury treated and then they had back to the Uchiha District.
Sasuke leads Hinata into "her" room. Well the room that she was staying in while she was "visiting" his family. It was sweet, Hinata mused. He was so worried about her. But at the same time, she kinda wanted to smack him with a pillow. She was a ninja. She didn't need babied like this!
"Does it still hurt?" He asks.
"Sasuke, I'm fine. You were there while I was at the hospital. You saw them heal me. It doesn't hurt and I'm okay." She tells him.
The younger Uchiha brother seems to pick up on her irritation. He sits next to her on the bed. Sasuke caresses her cheek.
"You know that I worry about you. I know you are strong. But I just don't like seeing you injured. That's all." He murmurs.
"I know and I appreciate it. But stop treating me like I'm a China Doll. I'm a ninja, just like you. I'm a Jonin just like you." She says.
"I know. But you are just as beautiful as a China Doll." He assures her.
She sighs and leans into him. How was she supposed to stay made at him when he said things like that? She smiles and Sasuke wraps his arms around her protectively. She felt him lay his head on top of hers.
"That was a good line!" Shisui says.
"GOD DAMMIT!" Sasuke snarls.
"I must agree with Shisui. Excellent indeed." Kenji muses.
"WHAT THE HELL?! CAN'T I GET ANY PRIVACY?!" The youngest Uchiha twitches.
"Of course not. We are a clan. We wouldn't be a very good clan if we didn't watch out for each other and if that happens to include overhearing you whispering sweet nothings to the beautiful Hyuga Princess there, well that's just our cross to bare." Shisui says.
"I'm your grandfather. It's my job to love and embarrass you." Kenji adds.
"At this rate, I'm starting to think the only way we'll ever get any privacy is going to the Forest of Death." Hinata mumbles to Sasuke.
"The Forest of Death is starting to look a whole lot more appealing." Sasuke mutters in agitation.
"Oh if looks could kill." Kenji says.
"We'd both be dead. Alright, I think our job is done for today." Shisui says.
"Agreed. I think Aiya said she was going to make her famous chocolate chip cookies tonight." He says happily.
"Oh those are good!" Shisui says and walks off with the elderly Uchiha.
Meanwhile Aiya was in the kitchen, cooking. That's when she saw young Kitzu walk in. He looked like a hopeful puppy.
"What is it, dear?" She asks.
"I was wondering if maybe I could stay the night here. Mom's in one of her moods again. She's hunting for Aoda and Naruto's toad." He says with a sigh.
"Oh I don't think anyone would mind. I'll have a guestroom made for you. Would you like to help me finish these?" She asks.
"Sure!" He says with a smile.
"That's a good boy. Your mother loves you. She's just a bit touched." She chuckles.
"A bit?!" He asks.
"Well perhaps more than a bit." Aiya concedes.
"So how are things going at the Academy?" She asks conversationally.
"Alright, I guess. Amaya and I keep going back and forth for who is at the top of the class. But I'm sure I'll beat her in the end." He says confidently.
"Well either way, I'm glad you are doing so well." She says and mixes the dough.
"Yeah. She keeps looking at me funny though and the girls are giggling a lot. I think she's planning to ambush me or something. She's going to get a surprise, when I spit fire at her." He says smugly.
"Oh dear." She says with a smile and shakes her head, girls did mature so much faster than boys.
"Yeah!" He says determinedly.
Well he was only nine. That was still a bit early for THAT talk. Aiya decided maybe she should have Fugaku or Itachi cover it when the time came. That boy's mother was…a special case and her husband, well he was always at her side. So he'd never get a moment alone with his son to explain certain facts of life.
"You'll get used to girls giggling around you eventually. It's a family curse." Kenji states slyly, entering the kitchen with Shisui.
"Why do they giggle so much? What's so funny? I don't get it?" Kitzu asks.
"Give it about three years, it'll make more sense." Shisui says and tries to steal some cookie dough, Aiya swats his hand away.
"That is for AFTER dinner." She tells him.
"Awe, come on." He pouts.
"Honestly, you'd think he was Kitzu's age." She mutters.
Meanwhile with Itachi and Kurenai, they were in Itachi's room. Kurenai was looking at his back. Itachi was muttering something about shark fin soup.
"You were really brave back there." She murmurs approvingly as she rubs his back.
"I'm going make a damn fine soup out of him." Itachi mutters more.
"Mmm I'm sure you will." She says as she continues the massage.
"It was clearly a distraction. Maybe they just wanted more updated information about our fighting styles. I don't know." He murmurs.
"Don't worry about it now. We've already reported the incident to the Hokage. At the moment, there's not much more we can do." She tells him.
"That feels good." He comments.
"It's supposed to." She says and places a kiss to the back of his neck.
"Not the neck." He says.
"Mmm is that your spot?" She asks curiously.
"One of them." He admits.
"Is it one of Sasuke's as well?" She teases him.
"I really don't like you talking about my baby brother while we are alone and in my bed together…" Itachi says.
"I have no interest in him. Hinata does though. The information might prove useful to her." She says with a laugh.
"That's better. I wouldn't know. I don't ask my foolish little brother what turns him on. That would be sick." He replies.
"Mmm I guess so. How's this? Any better?" She asks as she kneads his back.
"Much better." He murmurs and closes his eyes in pleasure.
Back in Sasuke's room, Hinata was indulging in some well deserved cuddle time. It was still hard to believe sometimes. Sasuke liked her. He REALLY liked her judging by how fast his Sharingan would activate around her. She was still getting used to it. Sasuke though, he was passed the getting used to stage though and seemed more than ready to try out as many things as possible.
"Wanna go? We can leave a note so the others don't worry." He whispers in her ear.
"Well…" She says biting her lower lip.
"I'm not going to take you on the forest floor or against a tree. Well at least not our first time." He says.
"SASUKE!" She says, blushing furiously.
"The first time should be in a bed. You'd look beautiful against red silk, wearing some white lace." he offers.
"I…I…well alright. Maybe we could go there for just a little bit." She relents.
"Great." He says and scoops her up, running off with her.
"Sasuke! I can walk." She says with a giggle.
"My way is faster." He tells her.
"Mmm alright." She says and enjoys the ride.
He sets her down gently on a tree stump once they arrive. He looks around. The young Uchiha was probably making sure that they were actually alone.
"Looks like it's clear, other than the wildlife." He says.
"You sure this is a good idea? We got caught off guard last time." She mumbles.
"I'll post some clones if it makes you feel better." He says.
"It would." She says.
Sasuke forms about ten clones nearby. If something happened, they'd have warning. He smiles at her.
"Mmm 11 Sasuke's. I think this was probably the fantasy of a lot of Academy Girls." She says with a laugh.
"Maybe. You saying you are into that sorta of thing?" He asks and raises an eyebrow.
Hinata eeps and blushes scarlet. He shakes his head and laughs, pushing her against a tree. Sasuke kisses her.
"Alright, maybe 11 would be overdoing it. How about me and a clone?" He asks curiously.
"M-aybe." She squeaks.
"Of course, I'd definitely be interested in the reverse." He says and kisses her neck.
"The re-verse?" She pants out.
"Double the Hinatas, double the fun." He clarifies.
"Ohhhh." She says.
"We'll just put the clone thing in the maybe category." He murmurs.
"Alright." She mumbles and slides her hands under his shirt, exploring.
Hinata was developing a fetish, she realized. She was glad he had his shirt on. She wasn't sure she could handle it otherwise. Sasuke seemed to enjoy her timid touches though. He purrs darkly with approval.
"That's better. See you can touch as much as you want." He tells her and nips her ear.
"Yea-h." She says and glides her hands over him more.
There was so much power in the muscles under her fingertips. She was pretty sure he could level a mountain if he wanted to. But when he touched her, it was always so gentle.
He mostly stands there. Sasuke places light kisses along her neck and on her lips. The Uchiha didn't want to startle her. He knew that Hinata was shy. So he had to go slow. Besides, it felt good.
"How long do you think we have until they notice we are gone?" He asks.
"Not long. But we left a note. So it shouldn't matter." She says, daring her hands to drift a little lower, to the waistline of his pants.
"Yeah." He says, looking at her with those ruby red eyes of his.
Hinata noted that the Sharingan came in every shade of red imaginable. Sasuke took after his mother, ruby red. Itachi's was crimson. Fugaku's was more of a burgundy. Shisui's was apple red. She smiles, she liked Sasuke's best though. But she was rather biased. Probably because he was the one kissing her right now.
