A/N: Here is the chapter I've been working on for a month now. Hope you enjoy it, and read the closing notes for reasons on the delay. ENJOY!


Chapter Seven: Their First Time As One

Almost two months later, in the middle of November, Naruto and Hinata had officially been inducted as representatives of their clans. Hinata's first official act was to join both houses of the Hyuga Clan. She had long resented the bad blood between them. There would be limits, but there would be no more sealing or branch members. Neji was named sub leader of the clan, for Hanabi was still far too young, at the age of nine. These acts were highly opposed by the elders of the clan, yet Hinata calmly and gently stated her reasoning.

"It's simple really. There has never been a need for a branch family. Why do we seal? Because those in the main house are scared of someone in the branch house rising over the clan leader. Is that necessarily a bad thing? My cousin Neji has already proven himself stronger than my father or myself. If it was my choice, he would be the leader now. But he has not the diplomacy like I. A leader has to be strong and wise, not just one of the two. I think by Neji and myself leading together, we can make the Hyuga even more prosperous than ever before!"

The Hyuga elders murmured and nodded.

"Well all agree, yet if things go awry, Lady Hinata, the blame will be on you."

Hinata nodded, bowed and left to her room for the night, cradled in Naruto's arms. The following morning, there was a loud knocking at her bedroom door.

"Naruto! Hinata! Get up dammit! NARUTO! You have a mission dammit!"

The blonde ninja's blue eyes snapped open, and Hinata stirred. Naruto kissed Hinata, and climbed out of the bed. He pulled on the orange and black clothes he wore, and nodded.

"Tell me all about it."

Neji shoved the scroll into his hands, walking away with Tenten. Naruto opened the contents of the scroll, and read to himself.

Uzumaki Naruto,

You are to leave for the Village of Sunagakure tomorrow morning for an S-Rank mission, at 8:00 AM. Kazekage Gaara has specifically requested your help, as you are the only person he trusts. You are to go to him, and follow all orders. Come back to us all safely, and most importantly, to Hinata.

Best of luck to you,

Tsunade,

Godaime Hokage of the Village of Konoha.

Hinata looked over his shoulder, and saw the scroll. Tears filled her eyes, and Naruto held her hand.

"Hinata… I have to do this. For us. I promise you I'll come back to you unharmed. And I never go back on my word."

Hinata's tears flowed freely, until Naruto softly pressed his lips to hers, and drew her into a hug.

"I know Naruto. I just can't bear to be away from you. I know you have to go, but part of me doesn't want to watch you go. I love you, and if something were to happen to you, I would never forgive myself."

They lay on her bed, and she was under him, as he placed soft and gentle kisses on her neck. With each kiss, Hinata felt a small moan escape her lips. A soft blush rose to her face as he moved from her neck to her cheeks and then her lips. She rolled them over, and pressed down on him, so she could kiss his neck. Naruto wasn't as ticklish as she was, but he still enjoyed the love she was showing him. It was so passionate, and so tender. What happened next was a complete surprise to them both. With one swift motion, Hinata pushed him down and ripped his shirt apart. The blonde was shocked, needless to say.

"Hinata! What are you doing? We can't, not yet! I don't want to…"

The blonde was cut off by Hinata softly pressing her lips to his. She started to intertwine her tongue with his, and he just let her. He didn't know what she was trying to do, but he just let her. His eyes darted from side to side, and Hinata saw this, and she rested her head on his chest, licking at the skin of his pectoral muscles. She reached her lips to his left ear, and whispered gently to him.

"Naruto, please just give me this night, one I'll remember for the rest of my life. I want you to be my first, my only. I love you with my whole heart, and I know you do too. Please, just give me this. Promise me this. That if you give yourself to me, and I myself to you, promise that you'll come back to us all safely. I want to experience this with you, because you… you might not come back. This way I'll know for sure. Please?"

Naruto had never seen this side of the shy and gentle Hyuga Hinata. She was opening herself to him for the very first time. She was asking for him to take from her what was to be taken by someone truly special to her. The blonde teared up and nodded, whispering into her right ear.

"Hinata, I'll do it, but I'm not yet ready for a child yet. I'll have to take precautions, but I'll give you what you ask for. I love you with my whole heart, and for you to want me to take this from you, I feel special."

The blonde gently unzipped the black and orange jumpsuit, and lay next to the woman he loved, as she slipped the nightgown she wore over her shoulder slowly, trying to get him excited. Hinata was a virgin, as was Naruto. She lay on his upper body, clothed in just her bra and her underwear, and she nibbled softly at his earlobe, whispering to him.

"Take it off me, Naruto. This is how I want it."

A soft red blush spread from their faces as Naruto gently reached behind her, and unsnapped her bra, and she let it hang for about a minute before she dropped it off the side of the bed. Naruto stared up at her well developed form, her long hair perfectly covering her breasts, which she softly brushed out of the way for him. Her eyes shimmered soft silver in the moonlight, glistening with soft tears of pure love. They both shed what little they had on, and Hinata lay on her back, and Naruto kissed his way to her inner thighs, and gently and softly broke the seal with his soft full length. Hinata gave a soft cry of sharp stabbing pain, feeling a little blood trickle, as Naruto comforted her with soft kisses to her neck and breasts. Hinata let herself relax, enjoying his touches and kisses.

The blonde ninja began to deliver soft, slow, passionate thrusts of his hips into hers. With each thrust, Hinata gasped, partly in how gentle he was, partly in sheer ecstasy. Hinata pulled his upper body down onto hers, so she could kiss him deeply and passionately as the made soft love for the first time. Gently and softly, Naruto put a little more pressure into each thrust, losing himself in her body and eyes. The full moon had risen, bestowing a gentle glow on the Hyuga's white eyes, making them smaller moons of their own. Naruto thrust more frequently now, as Hinata's back arched high, her vaginal muscles quivering. She was experiencing her first orgasm, and she let out a loud scream and her head fell back rapturously, and she came over and over again. Naruto himself was feeling the building intensity of his own orgasm, and as he could no longer hold it in, he gently slid himself out of her, and released himself on the sheets.

Hinata and Naruto lay there, both breathing hard from their first time, and she burrowed her head into his chest, and he ran his fingers through her hair. The blonde whispered to her.

"Hinata, I love you with all my heart, and when I leave tomorrow, I swear to you, I'll come home as soon as I can."

Hinata was already fast asleep, so Naruto drew a blanket over them both, falling asleep himself. Night came and went with a small storm, and Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata slept peacefully, having given each other their innocence and their lives. Rising early the next morning, Naruto and Hinata showered, dressed and ate quickly, as he had to be at the gates by 8:00 AM. It was a teary farewell between the two, and Hinata left for their spot by the lake, where he had first shown her the Kyuubi's seal.

TO BE CONTINUED...

A/N: Sorry about the delay. It's been hell to sit and even check my Myspace these last few weeks. College midterms, birthdays, and a ton of other stuff. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. In the next chapter, focus will primarily be on Hinata. The following chapter will recount Naruto's mission. Until the next time, thank you for reading, and as always, reviews are welcome.
