Late in the afternoon, on the same day that Naruto had attacked the Hyuuga estate, Kakashi arrived to inspect the damage. He walked through the gate, which was being replaced at the time, reading " Makeout Paradise". Not paying attention to where he was going, he nearly fell over a medical ninja.
"Oops. Sorry about that," He said to the ninja, who went back to working on a Hyuuga soldier with a broken arm. Kakashi quickly found Hiashi off to the one side, overseeing the whole thing. Kakashi worked his way over to Hiashi, and leaned on the wall next to him.
"Hello Kakashi," Hiashi said, not even looking at Kakashi. "What can I do for you?"
"Well, you can drop the angry act, for starters." Kakashi said, not even batting a lash.
Hiashi smiled and said, "Hmph. Can't get anything past you, can I?"
"Wasn't this a little much for just a test?" Kakashi asked, now looking at Hiashi, who looked right back.
"Probably, but I wanted to see how much he cared for Hinata. I wanted to see if he would stand up to a veritable army to protect her." Hiashi smiled a little smile. "He passed with flying colors."
"Still, how did he beat all these people by himself? These are Hyuuga elite soldiers, and it looks like they took the beating of a lifetime." Kakashi looked around at all the soldiers. He was surprised at the sight, but his face never showed it.
"They were… unprepared. They boy used many jutsu. Ones that we didn't think that he knew," Hiashi said. "He even used the Dragon Twister jutsu."
Kakashi's eyebrows rose up so much that they nearly disappeared into his silver hair. "The Dragon Twister jutsu?" Kakashi smiled under his mask. "He really is his father's son after all. I wonder where he picked up that jutsu?"
"Well, the only place I can think of is the scroll of forbidden jutsu," Hiashi said.
"Hmm, you're right," Kakashi said. "Makes me wonder what else he learned when he peaked in that scroll." They both stood there for a while, thinking on the matter.
Evening settled on the village of Konoha. At a small café in the village, Naruto and Hinata were sharing a cup of coffee with Sasuke and Sakura, and retelling the events that had occurred earlier in the day.
"It was a test?!" Both of them sounded shocked by the news that it had been a test. Sakura then said, "Boy, he must have really wanted to know what you were capable of."
"Well then, he got a good show," Naruto said with a smile. "Thanks again you guys. Those jutsu you taught me came in handy."
"I hope they did," Sasuke said taking a sip of his coffee. "Otherwise, that training would have just been a waste of our time."
"He did very well," Hinata said blushing a little as she looked at Naruto, but she smiled at the fact that he was all hers. "But I only saw him use the one jutsu. That Dragon Twister jutsu." Sasuke and Sakura's eyes both snapped wide open, then they turned to a scowl that they directed towards Naruto, who just scratched the back of his head and grinned a goofy grin.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Sakura asked, looking back towards Hinata, who was still smiling.
"I'm not sure," Hinata said. "But, I think I'm going to move out of the Hyuuga estate." This earned her a stare from everyone at the table.
"Why do you want to do that?" Sasuke asked. "Your family is okay about you and Naruto being together, aren't they?"
"The only ones that I'm completely sure about that are my father, my sister, and Neji. I'm not sure about the rest of the family, though. So I've decided its time for me to leave them."
"Where are you going to live then? You don't have anywhere else to go." Sakura said a little concerned.
"Well…" Hinata said, blushing a lot at this point. "If he would let me, I was hoping to move in with Naruto." Sakura and Sasuke looked stunned at this answer, while Naruto turned a little red as he looked at her.
"A-are you sure about that Hinata?" Sakura asked, a little flustered. Then she calmed down a bit and said, "I mean, Naruto's apartment is so small. I don't think it was meant for two people."
"She does have a point Hinata," Naruto said. "My place is barely big enough for me anymore. I don't think it can take two people." Hinata looked a little disappointed, but then Sasuke said something that made both her and Naruto happy.
"If that's the case Naruto, then why not come live with me and Sakura?" Sasuke suggested. Both Naruto's and Hinata's head snapped towards Sasuke's direction. "I mean, the Uchiha main house is so big. We have more than enough room that the two of you could live with us and it still wouldn't be the least bit crowded."
"That actually sound pretty good," Naruto said. Suddenly he had a thought. "Say, when did Sakura move in with you? You never told me about it."
Sasuke actually blushed a little at this question. "Really? I t-thought I did." Sasuke quickly looked away.
"He does have a good point Naruto," Sakura said, blushing a little bit as well. "That place is huge. We could all fit in there very easily." Turning to Hinata, she said, "What about you Hinata? What do you think?"
Hinata looked at her, and then at Sasuke. Finally she said, "I think that would be fine." Hinata brought her hand to her lips, and her mind wandered through thoughts of her and Naruto living under the same roof.
"All right then, it's decided," Naruto said. "When she we move in?" he asked with enthusiasm in his voice.
Having finally stopped blushing, Sasuke turned back towards them and said, "You guys can move in as early as tomorrow."
"Alright then," Naruto said, and finished off his cup of coffee. "In that case, I need to get home and pack." Turning to Hinata, he held out a hand and asked, "Can I walk you home Hinata?" Hinata looked at him with big eyes for a second, and then took his hand. She wrapped her arm around his as she stood up, and the two of them started walking in the direction of the Hyuuga estate.
As the two of them left, Sakura and Sasuke watched them go. Leaning against Sasuke, Sakura said, "Those two are perfect for each other. I'm happy for them."
"You're right," Sasuke said as he stared after the two of them. "Those two are perfect for each other. Just like you are the perfect one for me." Sakura looked up at him with big green eyes. After a moment, Sasuke bent down and kissed her, letting the both of them feel the softness of each other's lips.
Naruto and Hinata had a quiet walk home, only because they were savoring each other's company. They were about halfway to the Hyuuga estate when Naruto said, " Hinata, are you sure this is what you really want?" Hinata looked up at him. "I mean, am I really worth it?"
Hinata stopped walking. Naruto looked at her, and she said, "Yes. You are worth it. You're worth the entire world to me. I would do anything for you." At this point Naruto's eyes opened wide. "I mean-. What I meant to say was-." She was lost for words. Her face turned cherry red as she brought her hands to her mouth. Naruto's eyes reduced to their normal size and he smiled. He embraced her and held her close, and she did the same to him.
While they embraced, Naruto said, "You don't have to do anything for me. Being close to you is enough for me."
They parted, but held onto each other by the arms. "Naruto…" Hinata said as she stared into his blue eyes. Leaning up, she kissed him, and savored the softness and sweet taste of his lips. "Thank you." She said when they parted.
"You're welcome," Naruto said with a smile. "C'mon, lets get you home. You're dad's going to be worried."
He walked her the rest of the way to the Hyuuga estate, then said goodbye to her at the gate. After that, he headed home and started to pack his things, getting a lot of help from his shadow clones.
Late afternoon the next day, Sasuke stood at the front gate of the Uchiha main house with Sakura, waiting for Naruto and Hinata to show up.
"There's Naruto," Sakura said, spotting him coming around a corner a short distance away.
"And there's Hinata," Sasuke said, as Hinata showed up coming from the opposite direction. Each of them only had a couple of bags with them. When the two of them reached the gate, Sasuke asked, " Is that all the stuff you guys have?" He had thought that they would both have a lot more stuff.
"Yeah. I didn't have very much to pack," Naruto said. "There was less in my apartment than I thought there was. It was just a matter of finding it all."
"I didn't have very much either," Hinata said. "The most I really needed was my clothes, and a few other things."
"All right then," Sakura said. "Let's show them to their room then."
"Our room?" They both thought. Then Naruto asked, "Are we sharing a room?"
"Yep," Sasuke said, and that was it. Nothing else was said. However, both Naruto and Hinata blushed at the prospect of sharing a room with the other. The walked through the house, until they came to a rather luxurious bedroom on the one side of the house.
"This will be your room," Sakura said with a smile.
"Wow," Naruto said when he walked into the room. "This is huge." The room was indeed very large. It had a large wardrobe in the one corner, big enough to hold several pair of clothes for each of them. The walls were colored a pretty light purple color; the same as Hinata's eyes, and the carpet was navy blue. A dresser sat in another corner, and a towering bookshelf sat against the one wall, but there were very few books on it. Even with all these things in the room, it was still big enough to comfortably fit five people. "This is great. It's so much better than my place."
Then Naruto noticed something that he hadn't when he had entered the room. Hinata must have noticed it too, because she said, "There's only one bed."
"Yeah," Sasuke said. "We thought you guys would like to share the bed." Naruto and Hinata both turned cherry red at this statement. Yes, they had both thought about it, but neither of them had thought it would actually happen.
Sakura saw this and said, "We'll leave you two to unpack. Hurry up too. We made plans to eat out tonight in order to celebrate you guys." After she said that, she disappeared out of the doorway, dragging Sasuke by the arm, and leaving a speechless Naruto and Hinata to unpack their things.
That night, Naruto lay in the bed next to Hinata, who was fast asleep. Both of them agreed that they would share the bed after they unpacked their things, and left with Sasuke and Sakura. The plans that Sasuke and Sakura had made had actually turned out to be a party in honor Naruto and Hinata getting together. Almost every one of their friends had been there, as well as Kakashi and the rest of the Jonin. Food and sake had been served in large amounts, and everyone indulged in large amounts of both. Everyone had a great time, but they also all had too much to drink. Hinata had had so much that she barely got home and into her nightgown before she fell asleep on the bed. Naruto had been sober enough to cover her up before changing into shorts and a t-shirt and slipping in next to her. Now he lay there, so nervous about the fact that he was sharing a bed with her that he couldn't get to sleep.
"Calm down. It's no big deal," He thought to himself, but he looked at her next to him, and got even more nervous. Finally, he cleared his mind of everything and closed his eyes. He fell asleep almost instantly. He dreamed some bad dreams. They were mainly of Sakura, who was beating the hell out of him during each one. He woke up with a start, remembering the last dream, where she was going to squeeze him until he snapped like a pretzel.
"Phew, it was just a dream," he thought to himself. Then he noticed that something was wrong. "Wait a minute. If it was a dream, the why do I feel like I'm still being squeezed." Looking down, he quickly spotted the source of the pressure around his mid section. Hinata had rolled over and grabbed onto his waist while she slept.
"Aw crud," Naruto thought. He started to twist in her arms and tried to get out of her grip, but the more he fought to get out, the harder she squeezed. He struggled for a little longer, and finally gave up after he saw that it was a hopeless struggle.
"Naruto…" Hinata muttered in her sleep.
"Something tells me this is going to be a very long night," Naruto thought before he drifted back to sleep. The rest of the night went well, except for the few times he was woken up by her squeezing him.
