Gozaimasu! (Training Time!)

Hinata's eyes peeked open after her sleep was disrupted by a stray ray of sunlight. She blinked a few times and looked around the room. Everything was tidy. However it wasn't the Hyuuga room that she was accustomed to. Her head bobs up and down. She wriggles off the warm, moving pillow she had slept on. Looking at her 'pillow' she realises it's not a pillow but a man's chest. Her brain kicks in and reminds her of the previous night's events, finishing it off with a nice, sharp throbbing pain to her head. She instinctively puts her hand on her head to feel a small lump where she had hit it on the pantry shelves. Then as if out of nowhere a small, annoying beeping sound interrupts her memories of her and Naruto kissing. The blonde man in the bed stirs and Hinata squeaks, back to her nervous self.

Naruto reaches past Hinata to the alarm clock radio on the bedside table. Naruto grumbles back to sleep, only to be awoken again by a singing voice on the radio. The song is a Japanese song that's very repetitive singing of "Cherry, cherry, cherry- Bon! Bon!" Would have anyone up in 2 minutes. Half dressed, Naruto rolls over in his bed to face the Hyuuga. Hinata's face a bright pink, she stares at him. Even his messed hair and drowsy expression couldn't shake the fact that he still looked utterly handsome. Naruto, barely awake, smiled dumbly at the girl and got out of bed. Grabbing the nearest shirt he slipped it on, as he did; Hinata view of Naruto's chest now obscured, she regained some of her senses, only to quickly lose them as Naruto went to change his hakama (The bottom half of a traditional male garment). Hinata turned around, just in time to miss seeing Naruto's drawers. Naruto looked up at her. He'd forgotten she was even there. Being half awake still he mumbled an apology and quickly slid on a pair of black denim jeans. Hinata, still in her kimono from last night, nodded taking her leave.

"Ah, Hinata!" Hinata spun around on her feet as she reached the door and looked back to see Naruto with a somewhat bewildered look on his face.

"Did you want to borrow some of my clothes?" He asked, referring to her wrinkled kimono. Hinata, blushing; nodded and walked back over to Naruto.

As the two sat and Naruto held things up for Hinata to try on, Hana found herself unable to move in her bed. She was too overwhelmed with joy that her mother and father were in the same room together. She remembered how hard it was to fall asleep last night. The anticipation of today keeping her awake. She wondered continuously the night before what they would do together. Then, like a dark cloud covering the brightest sun she remembered Naruto's deal to her grandfather. Hiashi Hyuuga was the most unpleasant man she had ever laid eyes on. She had never known the man before, but this- This, she was certain of. He had such a cold glare towards her parents. He didn't even acknowledge her. The dark storm grew darker and sprouted thunder with lightning. She let her mind trail off on the 'what if's' if Naruto couldn't win against the cold Hyuuga. However, snapping from her thought's as a yell was heard from Naruto's bedroom.

"AH Hinata?" Naruto said, looking at a passed out Hinata that lay in his arms. Hana rushed in screeching in to see a panicked Naruto, a Limp Hinata and a pile of Naruto's clothes. On top of which was a pair of his boxers. Beside which, lay a small, inconspicuous box. Seeing Hana, Naruto panicked. Dropping Hinata to the floor, he rushed Hana out of the room. Confused, Hana obeyed, though it involved Naruto having to push her out. Naruto quickly excused himself and fled back into the room.

Once back inside he looked to the pile of clothes, the boxers, the passed out Hinata and finally the small box. He glared at the latter and cursed it. Why pervy sage had ever left it in his will for him after he turned 18 was beyond him. He'd never used any before, so the packet was still unopened. He sighed a moment then stuffed the box and a few other clothes back into the closet all the while thinking "Hinata-chan probably thinks I'm a pervert now!~". Jamming the doors shut he turned to Hinata. After searching through his smaller clothes they had found some that would fit her for the day. Carefully he picked Hinata up and she stirred, blushing deep pink.

Looking her in the eyes, he gently tapped her forehead with his hand. "C'mon, we've got to go get something to eat before we train" Hinata nodded, blushing. After which, Naruto lead himself out so she could change into his more comfortable clothes. While Naruto lead Hana out to the kitchen where he began to make some food. This time it wasn't ramen, which was very surprising to Hinata, as she walked into the kitchen to find a small plate of curry and rice.

"Did you cook this?" Hinata asked, pointing to the yummy smelling food. Naruto nodded a smile spreading across his face.

"It's not as good as Hana's but I think I'm getting better.." Hana took a mouthful of the curry, a blank expression on her face. She chewed, swallowed then stared at Naruto.

"You're right…" Naruto watched her expressionless face daring to hope that she would accept his attempt at cooking.

"It's not as good as mine." Hana smirked, smugly as she sat down at the table, taking a plate of her own. Naruto took his plate and began to eat with the others. Hinata sighed a little. She knew Hana to be a little controlling when it came to her food. Whenever she would take Hana out for food she would always say that it was not as good as Hinata's. She quickly came to noticed Hana's bias towards particular food tastes.

Naruto sat, sulking while he ate. She was right though, and they all knew it.

Once their meals were finished, they all got dressed properly into attire that would be more appropriate for sparring. Hana, wearing her regular ninja gear with her pale orange hoodie with white sleeves and white furry hood lining, black three-quarter pants and basic blue ninja shoes. Hinata dressed in an old white shirt from Naruto's closet, her ninja pants, gear and Jounin jacket over the top. Naruto wore his consistently orange attire with a Hokage logo embroidered on the back of his jacket. Grinning the family set off towards the training ground.

Landing safely on the tree branch, she awaited her anticipated attacker. Her breaths, shallow but hard. She could sense his chakra nearby. With a few whips of her hands she un sealed her kekkeigenkai with a single word.

"Byakugan!"

Already laboured she noted the setting sun, then, resumed her scan of the forest. Releasing the jutsu, she jumped, landing firmly on the ground. She knew her chakra was almost completely spent so, she signalled to the other two to halt training for an hour or so to have lunch and catch her breath. Taking out her lunch she begins to set up. Nothing like a family picnic.

As the sun visibly began to set the three trained long into the hours of the day and night, finally stopping at 8pm for a late dinner at Ichiraku's. Naruto was thrilled to get to eat out, however secretly wouldn't have minded trying Hinata's cooking. He remembered as a kid she could always cook really well. He wondered while slurping up noodles, how much better she had gotten over their time apart?...

Naruto then found himself wondering off onto a tangent. How much had she grown? He already knew she had become stronger over the years. Still, he wanted to know more. He wanted to know her, personally. Hinata continuously blushed, as Naruto would drift off, staring at her. Hana just laughed at them.

On their return home,

none of them sensed the lone ninja hidden amongst the dark shadows of the night that followed their every move, waiting, biding their time until they would strike. By the time they would notice, it would already be too late.
