Astrocam: Hey guys, sorry this update was later than normal. Been dealing with drama and stuff, you know, so wasn't really in a mood for it. But now I'm sort of feeling better, so hopefully updates will be more frequent again. Anyway, there is a lemon in this chapter, I know I'm not the best at writing them...but I try. Plus, some of the characters may be OOC, but when writing alternate universe fanfiction, they won't be perfectly in character all the time. I also just realized this whole chapter was written in Hinata's POV, lol oops, oh well. Guess I got caught up in it.

Hope you enjoy anyway.

Chapter Six – Missing Person

Hinata's POV

It had been a week since Hanabi's last phone call, and before that she had only called a few times a week. Now it had been a month since she ran away. It was almost Valentine's Day. Hinata was really worried about her sister, and Hiashi was at his wits end. Hiashi didn't want to file a "missing person's" report yet, because he was afraid it would "tarnish" the family's reputation if everyone knew that they had a delinquent runaway daughter. Hinata kept urging him to file a missing person's report, and get the law involved, and she had a feeling he was caving in.

Meanwhile, her and Naruto had still managed to keep their relationship a secret, but the lying to her father was eating away at Hinata. She had noticed, however, that her father seemed to do the opposite of what he'd threatened – he seemed to ease up on Hinata. Letting her have a bit more freedom to when she wanted to go out. It was an improvement from before, when she had to ask him and inform him of every detail of what she was going to do. Now he just let her go if she said "I'm going out with a friend" and that would be that, no more questions asked.

Hinata wondered if Hanabi going missing made Hiashi think that if he kept his really strict rules up with Hinata, she would end up doing the same thing as Hanabi. At first he had threatened to tighten the rules, but Hinata guessed that he had done some thinking and changed his mind about that. She knew that she wouldn't be able to handle if her father didn't allow her anywhere at all, except for school and ninjutsu. That was basically how it had been before, but if he had made his rules more strict, she would have been forbidden from seeing any friends at all, not even Tenten.

One night, she was talking to her father in the kitchen just before she was due to go out with Naruto. It was the night before Valentine's Day.

"Father...please, consider the missing person's report. Hanabi may be in danger. Maybe she got in with the wrong crowd," Hinata pleaded for the hundredth time. "Neji agrees with me," she added. She'd had this talk with Neji, too. "If people think differently of our family because Hanabi's run away, let them. We need to bring her home safe. That's more important than our reputation."

Hiashi sighed, leaning with both his elbows on the counter, his head in his hands. It was a defeated posture that Hinata hadn't seen from him too often.

"Fine, fine. I will do it tomorrow," Hiashi finally gave in. "Hanabi is going to be in so much trouble when she gets home."

"Father...that is why she left in the first place," Hinata firmly told him. She found that she was suddenly able to stand up to him more, and she wasn't sure where her new courage was coming from. Maybe Naruto's confidence was rubbing off on her.

"I know! I'm a failure as a father!" Hiashi exclaimed, but before Hinata could say anything, he stormed off and she heard a door slam.

She stood there, in a bit of shock. Hiashi had never, EVER admitted his failures or wrongdoings. But now it gave her a bit more insight as to how he was feeling about Hanabi's disappearance. He felt that he couldn't do anything right. He felt that, if he let Hanabi have too much freedom, she would take advantage of that. But if he tightened his hold on her, she would rebel as she had.

Suddenly her phone buzzed in her pocket. The message was from Naruto, probably wondering where she was.

Naruto: Hey, Hina-chan, it's about time that you got here and you're not here yet. Everything okay with Hanabi and Hiashi?

Hinata: I'm coming, I'm coming. I was just talking with father about Hanabi, sorry. You know we've not heard from her in a week.

Naruto: Yeah, I know. I'm real sorry, I wish I could help your family in some way, but your father doesn't know about me and if he does it might make the situation worse.

Hinata: Well, I had an idea. I could introduce you to father as a friend... and see how he takes that news. I have told father that I do have friends in the ninjutsu class. He never said anything against having male friends, just that I can't date unless I'm ready to marry.

Naruto: We can try that. How about tomorrow?

Hinata: But tomorrow's Valentine's Day...

Naruto: I've got something planned for us, something special, don't worry. Just let your father know that a friend is coming over.

Hinata: You have something planned for us? Hinata felt excited at this. She had never had an official Valentine's Day date before. She wondered what Naruto had planned.

Naruto: Yes ;) I know that the timing sucks with what's happened to Hanabi but I just want to take your mind off of things for a couple of hours.

Hinata: I'd love that. Anyway, I'm on the way now.

On arriving at Naruto's, she launched herself into his arms and kissed him passionately. She loved kissing him, loved feeling him against her body, showing him the love she had felt for him for the past year but had been unable to do anything about it until now.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him, returning the kiss just as fervently, as though they hadn't seen each other in months rather than days. The longer they kissed, the more Hinata could feel that she wanted him inside of her. And she could tell he felt the same way.

He broke the kiss, breathing heavily, his eyes wild with lust. "Let's fuck, first? Then talk?"

Hinata nodded eagerly. "Yes, please." For now, she could lose herself in him, and pretend that they were the only two people on earth.

Once they were in his bedroom, he pushed her down on the bed, then climbed on top of her and kissed her aggressively. Hinata responded by wrapping her arms around his neck, moving her body against his, though they were still clothed.

Naruto moaned into her mouth, then reached his hands up under her shirt, trailing them along her stomach before placing them on her breasts, over her bra, squeezing her breasts lightly. Hinata groaned as he massaged her, then pulled the bra down and played with her nipples while still kissing her.

They got undressed, and now were laying next to each other, naked, facing each other. Hinata had her arm around Naruto's waist, and Naruto was trailing his hand up and down her stomach, and along her breasts.

"You're so beautiful," he murmured, grabbing one of her breasts and squeezing it lightly while kissing her. "I'm so glad that you asked me to hang out that day."

Hinata nodded, wrapping one of her legs around Naruto's waist as well to pull him closer. Her bold move surprised him, and he growled, rubbing himself against her.

"I-I am, too," she squeaked as he pushed her down so that he was now on top of her, then he grabbed a condom from his bedside table and rolled it over himself.

"I know we didn't do much foreplay this time, but I'm going to fuck you now, is that okay?" he asked, positioning himself outside of her.

Hinata nodded fervently. "Yes."

He then eased himself inside of her, pushing in gently at first like he always did. Her body was getting used to him though.

As he pushed himself deep inside her, Hinata threw her head back and moaned loudly, lifting her pelvis up to meet him as he went in all the way, until she could feels balls against her.

"Oh, fuck," Naruto gasped, grabbing onto her hips. He pulled out slightly, then pushed in slowly again.

He tortured her at this pace for a few minutes before finally picking up speed, causing her to moan and grip the bed sheets tightly, the faster he went into her.

"Say my name, Hinata," Naruto grunted as he went full force.

"N-Naruto-kun..." she whimpered. She hadn't said his name during sex before.

"Say it louder!"

"Naruto-kun!" She rose her voice, and he suddenly stilled inside of her, and she felt his dick twitch, meaning he'd gotten off inside the condom.

"Wow..." he grinned, pulling himself out of her and taking the condom off him. Hinata dropped her legs onto the bed, sighing happily as she felt herself twitch as well after her orgasms.

After they got dressed, they lay next to each other, Naruto had his arms around her. Hinata snuggled her face into his chest. This was where she wanted to be, forever. In Naruto's arms, where nothing could hurt her.

"Mmm..." he murmured into her hair. "I could lay like this forever."

"Y-you read my mind," she giggled.

He grinned. "You're the best."

"No, you are." she poked him in the chest.

"You gave me a chance when no one else would. That's one thing I love about you." Naruto kissed her on the head.

Then, her smile faded as she recalled the scene when she'd left her home to go to Naruto's. "My father..." she whispered.

"What about him? What happened before you came over here?"

"H-he was saying how he's a failure as a father, and that we'll have to file a missing person's report on Hanabi tomorrow, since we haven't heard from her in a week. Once we do that, our reputation will be tarnished because we have a 'runaway' daughter/sister. At least, according to him. I don't care so much about reputation."

Naruto turned into serious mode. "I guess if you told him about me now it wouldn't be a good time."

Hinata sighed sadly. "I don't know if anytime will be a good time."

"I hope that Hanabi is okay," he continued. "She might have just fallen in with the wrong crowd and not bothered to contact anyone."

"True. Her 'normal' friends haven't heard from her either, though. That's a bit worrying." Hinata drummed her fingers against Naruto's back. "I don't know what to do about me and you, either."

"Well, like I said before, how about introducing me as a good friend that you've been talking to for a while in the martial arts class," Naruto suggested. "Surely that won't be too bad."

"I could try, he still doesn't like me hanging out with members of the opposite sex though. But that's the best we can do for now, I guess, and it's better than keeping you secret completely."

"Yeah, I think we can do that. When, though?" Naruto asked. "I'll be seeing you tomorrow night. That's...if you're not too busy with the Hanabi thing."

"Well, I can't put my life on hold, and maybe if Hanabi sees that people are looking for her, she'll give up and come back," Hinata said hopefully. "I will still see you tomorrow night. Maybe tomorrow won't be the best day to introduce you, since he might get suspicious if you take me out on Valentine's Day and all."

"Yeah, I agree. Alright, we'll pick some day next week to do it, depending on the Hanabi situation by then." Naruto kissed her chastely on the lips.

Hinata really hoped that this wouldn't be one of their last nights together.

"Father, we need to go to the police station. Hanabi's phone is going straight to voicemail," Hinata informed her father the next day. "From what I recall from watching crime shows, that's not a good sign."

Hiashi nodded. "I know. I've even tried to phone her, but got the same. Alright. Let's go now. NEJI!" he hollered for Hinata's cousin, Neji, who appeared rather quickly.

"Yes, Uncle?"

"Come with us. We're going to file a missing person's report for Hanabi." Hiashi sounded like a father defeated as he sighed, grabbing his jacket. Hinata and Neji did the same as they followed him outside into the chilly winter air.

"I don't know where that brat could have got to," Neji grumbled as he claimed the front seat, as usual.

Hinata sat in the back, in the middle seat. "Don't talk about her like that. Her behaviour is unacceptable, but what if she's in trouble?"

Neji shrugged. "I know. I'm trying not to think about it that way."

Hinata knew that Neji had his own, strange way of showing sympathy and empathy, so she didn't question him further on it as they headed towards Konoha Police Department, or KPD.

Sergeant Hatake Kakashi was assigned to the case. "Alright. You say she was last seen, that you know of, at your place?" he asked Hiashi as they sat in the interrogation room.

Hiashi nodded. "Yes. I saw her getting into a 'friends' car, as she put it. I didn't see the make of the vehicle, all I know is that it was a brown sedan, a small car of some type. It was very dim outside, the only lights being the one on the porch. The car was just barely hit by that light."

Kakashi wrote down notes as they talked. "You two had gotten in a fight, and she had run out on you, correct?"

"Yes again. She said I was being too strict and not letting her do anything 'fun'. But her idea of fun is doing drugs, drinking and having sex. She's only fifteen years old. I don't know where I went wrong." In a rare moment of vulnerability, Hiashi put his head in his hands. "She hasn't called us in a week, nor contacted anyone that we know of."

Hinata reached over to pat her father on the shoulder. She usually didn't have to comfort her father, so she wasn't really sure how to. He was always the strong one.

"Her phone is now going straight to voicemail," Neji finally spoke up. He'd been mostly silent upon arrival to the police station except to introduce himself.

Kakashi nodded, pausing for a minute to write everything down. "Do you have a photo of her?" he asked. "Recent, preferably."

"Unfortunately, the most recent photo I have of her is from her junior high school graduation last year, she is in high school, tenth grade now." Hiahsi reached for his wallet and pulled out a photo of Hanabi at her junior high school graduation. "She hasn't changed much in physical appearance since then," he added. "Just that I know now, she wears more gothic clothes, with colours like black and red and grey. I forbid her from wearing them, but she would sneak out of the house wearing normal clothes and she'd change into those goth clothes later."

"I'm sure there's more recent photos on her facebook," Hinata pointed out. "I can get some for you later. But I've noticed she hasn't been on her facebook since before her last phone call, either."

Kakashi took Hiashi's photo. "Okay, this will do for now, since we should get 'missing person' posters up right away. I'll photo copy this and get it back to you. Since we have no evidence nor crime scene, do you mind if we come to your place and search her room? There may be some clues to where she was headed."

"You have my permission." Hiashi nodded in agreement.

"If possible, could we go there today?"

"Yes."

"We should head over there now, then. If she's left her computer maybe it has information on who she last talked to online, if she was planning on going with that person, etc."

"Let's go, then." Hiashi sounded defeated, and Hinata hated to see her father this way. She really hoped that Hanabi would be found safe, and start to behave better after this after she realized what she had put her family through.

Hinata contacted Naruto a couple hours before she was due to meet up with him. The police had taken Hanabi's computer, and a few other things from her room. They did a search through the house as well, to eliminate Hiashi, Hinata and Neji as suspects.

Now Hinata was in her room, starting to get ready. She had told Hiashi that she was going out with Tenten for Valentine's Day dinner then hanging out later. Hiashi had agreed, probably because he was too exasperated and exhausted to care about much else other than Hanabi's disappearance. He told Hinata to be back by midnight. Hinata promised – she didn't want to worry her father more.

Hinata: I'm going to start getting ready now, so I'll see you soon. Xox

Naruto: I can't wait. How did everything go today?

Hinata: They've issued an alert and put missing posters up, and said they would contact us as soon as something promising came in. They also eliminated me, father and Neji as suspects, and searched the house and Hanabi's room.

Naruto: Good. I really hope she is okay.

Hinata: Me, too. I've watched too many crime shows lately, and I know that if there is zero contact after a week, chances are not good...

Naruto: Well, you never know. This could be different. Maybe she just wanted to start a new life, with no ties from her old one?

Hinata: I guess, but she's only fifteen. She shouldn't be thinking that way.

Naruto: True. I don't know. But I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Hinata: I have until midnight, and this time we have to keep watch on the time, because I don't want to worry father.

Naruto: Alright. See you in a bit, then. Sorry I can't pick you up like a proper date.

Hinata: I know, it's okay. See you soon. Xoxxo

Naruto: xoxox

Hinata sighed and went to her closet to pick out an outfit. She choose something that would be proper for a dinner date with a friend, (as what her father believed she was doing) but at the same time still kind of fancy to see her boyfriend with. She wore a black, long-sleeve blouse which had red roses on it, and black skinny jeans, along with her black boots that were riding-style and hit just below the knee. She also kept her makeup neutral, as usual.

As she headed downstairs, her father barely acknowledged her. He just glanced up at her, nodded, then went back down to his laptop which was perched on the kitchen counter. Hinata guessed he was working on something to keep himself occupied while the search for Hanabi continued.

On arriving at Naruto's apartment building, she parked in her usual spot and headed into the building. Sometimes she got lucky, and someone else would be either entering or leaving the building so they could let her in without Naruto having to come open the door with his key. This time, she did, and she went up to his floor in the elevator, feeling a bit excited to see him. She wondered what he had planned for their first Valentine's Day together.

Astrocam: Will they find Hanabi? Will she be okay? Will Hinata ever tell her father about Naruto? What does Naruto have planned for their first Valentine's Day? Stay tuned ;)
