Chapter 12: Intervention
"I knew it, you are stalking me, aren't you?!" Naruto questioned, turning around with a huff. The blue in his eyes are dark; filled with suspicion and hate.
Can't a man buy some groceries without running into this same weird mask-wearing guy?
Kakashi paused, looking up from the sneak peek edition Make out Paradise Jiraiya had sent him. It had finally arrived among his mail from yesterday.
He had caved in telling himself to wait, instantly staying up all night to get through the first 3 chapters at least.
And almost completely forgot about why he had been gifted the item in the first place: investigating Naruto and reporting he was 'normal' back to the Hyuga's.
Nothing about Naruto is 'normal' though.
"Stalking is such a harsh word, besides I'm here getting my shopping done too." Kakashi replied casually, shifting his red shopping basket up into view for emphasis.
Said basket only had one carton of milk and an orange inside, but that's beside the point! He just got distracted for a minute is all…
"Uh huh, so why have you been standing still by this magazine aisle for the past 15 minutes waiting for me to move and whenever I do walk one way, you wait a few minutes, then follow me! You've been doing it since I entered this mart, in fact; you've been tracking me all week! Wait, don't tell me you…" Naruto ranted, pausing as his voice rose in realization.
'So, I'm truly caught now.' Kakashi noted, bookmarking his current page to look at him properly.
Not that he was exactly hiding himself very well this time.
"Are you…are you in love with me or something?! That's what's going on, isn't it?" Naruto sputtered in alarm, taking a few steps back from him.
Kakashi only stared at him blankly.
'What?'
"Um, why is that the first thing you concluded?" He questioned.
Naruto scratched a hand through his hair. "Well, I mean that's how it always seemed to happen with Sasuke. Girls tend to always follow him around campus or through the halls, trying to stay a good couple of feet away to make sure he didn't see them and squealing whenever he finally turned around to acknowledge their existence."
Kakashi nodded his head slowly. "I can assure you that isn't my reason for trailing after you so much. Truth be told, I am the investigator sent from Hiashi Hyuga to find out everything there is to know about you since you're dating Hinata."
The anger in Naruto's expression shifted then, coldness in his eyes becoming a subdued upset he had seen many times before in an enemy's eyes.
A look of unknowing what to do or say.
"He…he lacks so much trust in me had to send someone to follow me? What, to make sure I don't hurt Hinata or something?" Naruto asks.
Kakashi shrugged, he hadn't asked him about the specifics of the case really.
Hiashi just wanted answers and he was expected to give him and Neji something before this week was over.
Naruto reluctantly let him trail him around as he finished getting various food and cleaning products, heading out of the store into the evening light.
He sent him a wary look from the corner of his eye, still having no idea exactly who he was. It had been too long, he had last seen him when he was a kindergartener or even younger than that…
But then a sudden grin lit his face, gesturing for Kakashi to follow him.
"Well, if you're going to report back to the Hyuga family it rather as well be about the real me and the full truth!" He concluded.
Kakashi nodded, falling into step beside him as Naruto began to chat away about various topics of school and work.
He learned he had taken up working as a teacher's assistant part time at the University, mainly to build connections to those in higher up political and law divisions at the school and partially to help Hinata with the bills.
'They live together?' Kakashi wondered.
This was news to him.
Though then again when he had passed by the upscale apartment building the school had filed under Naruto's name days ago, only Sasuke Uchiha had came to the door.
And even despite his hostile attitude over the mention of Naruto, he had refused to give him information on his friend's current living situation or whereabouts.
There were people that cared about Naruto, in their own unique ways.
"Hinata doesn't work tonight, so bringing somebody over may come as a shock to her." Naruto noted, fishing for his key with one hand while trying to juggle his paper bags with the other.
'May' is putting it lightly…
The door clicked open and they were greeted with the smell of earthy spices and sweets wafting through the air.
"Hinata, I brought company over; hope that's okay!" Naruto called out, fumbling off his shoes and stepping inside.
"I don't really need to eat dinner to find out information, after all I don't want to impose on you two-"Kakashi tried to start, but Naruto had already moved out of view to set the groceries down.
He stayed back, glancing around the tiny flat. It seemed modest in comparison to where Naruto had been living before, plain cream tiles and walls holding a few painted frames and posters. Littered around where scattered textbooks, notes, and empty ramen cups from what he could only imagine were study sessions Naruto conducted, though to his credit it wasn't as messy as what he had witnessed from Naruto's rooms in the past.
"Sure, who'd you bring over?" Hinata questioned, coming into view to greet them.
She paused at the sight of him, pearl eyes widening in confusion and alarm.
A stranger?
Naruto reached out to squeeze her shoulder at her worried look, shaking his head.
"Guess who I brought to dinner? The investigator your dad and cousin hired!"
-X-
Dinner isn't as awkward as Hinata first pictured it would be.
Kakashi doesn't talk much and he strangely only seems to take bites of his food whenever she and Naruto aren't looking at him.
"Do you have some type of mouth deformity that you can't show your face to us or is it just to keep your cover of mystery going?" Naruto asked bluntly as he looked up from his rice, leading to hard nudge from Hinata.
"Don't be rude!" Hinata hissed, reddening as he gave her a sheepish grin in return.
"What? You can't deny that you're not a bit curious to know too, right?" Naruto whispered-yelled in return, smile widening as Hinata pouted at having nothing to say.
There was one thing Kakashi learned from watching the duo's behavior as they ate and talked about their day; they were happy.
Naruto felt at home here, more so than he had ever witnessed before in a long while.
And he couldn't help but voice it aloud as helped to dry the dishes, explaining who he was properly to Hinata and his connections to both hers and Naruto's family.
"Ah, I see. So you used to work with Naruto's parents. I bet you have a lot of stories and experiences to share based on all the career paths you've taken." Hinata mused.
Kakashi shook his head, rubbing at his plate slower. He had declined her offer for sweets, only requesting for some coffee and watching as Naruto delighted in pouring too much chocolate syrup into a bowl of ice cream and went to town.
He was passed out on the couch just minutes later.
"How long has he been living here?" Kakashi asked as Naruto's light snores filled the air, driving the topic away from himself.
The images of the dead and those lost haunted him enough at night and in his dreams.
A dusty pink rushed across Hinata's face as she nervously gazed down into the sea of foam building on her side of the sink.
"A-About a month now. Please don't tell my father though…he doesn't know how close we've actually gotten. He thinks this relationship has just started."
Kakashi nodded, curiosity building that they had been dating for much longer than he expected.
Did she know about Naruto's condition?
"Hmm, so how did you two meet then? You two must have been dating for a good couple of months now to start living together." He brought up carefully.
Her cheeks seem to darken further at the question, lips trembling as her gaze became unfocused from him.
Finally, she looked back up at him as she squeezed her hands against the cool metal of the sink.
"Don't tell my father this either, but we met through my job as…as-"She gulped before finding her nerve again.
"As a call girl. He was my first caller on the job and we met in person after he said he had problems with um well erotic stuff." Hinata finished, words jumbling at having to say this all aloud.
Let alone to somebody she just met!
Kakashi coughed uncomfortably, Kushina had had this issue as well from what Minato had disclosed to him in a rare moment.
Now it was affecting their son.
He had to level with Hinata to know how bad it truly was.
"Does he grow fox ears and a tail around you?" He gestured to his head and back.
Hinata nodded, surprise lighting up in her eyes once more. "You know about that?"
"It runs in his family, there was a chance it would pass onto him since his mother gained the traits as well. I'm not sure if Naruto knows how to properly control it all happening without someone from the Uzumaki family guiding him though." Kakashi related.
Hinata wrinkled her nose, drying her hands slowly in thought.
"Well, he doesn't if that's what you're trying to say. I know he doesn't mean to lose control to his urges, so we've been trying to keep it under wraps from family and friends making them worry. I've done research with so little to even go on how to help him. Um, like when we get intimate or even when I'm just changing to get ready for the day…Naruto sometimes doesn't realize what he's doing or saying when he sneaks up on me."
She flickered her eyes downward, voice lowering. "New traits keep popping up too. Did his mom ever grow more than one tail?"
Kakashi shook his head, but then again it wasn't like he tried to stick around long if Kushina was ever in an amorous mood…
The trauma was bad enough when she was pissed.
"Is there anything you might know that I haven't already found out on how to help him?" Hinata questioned, lavender eyes hopeful as she looked over to Naruto's peaceful expression.
He used to have such trouble falling asleep, lying awake still when he didn't think she would notice.
Afraid to wake up and realize this was all a dream.
"No, however Kushina always tended to calm down whenever Minato spoke a few soothing words into her ear. I'm sure there's a topic that can placate Naruto too if he ever starts to get too err 'aggressive' or what not whenever something lewd is happening." He suggested.
Hinata restrained the urge to sigh.
That's the best Kakashi could give her?!
So much for believing he would have more knowledge than her on the subject…
"What are you going to tell my family?" Hinata whispered when he moved to stand after thanking her for the meal.
There's a mix of apprehension and calm resolve in her gaze as she followed him to door, whatever he chooses to do won't cause her to leave Naruto.
A cool wind ruffles up his grey hair as he stared into the darkness of the sky, faint twinkles of stars visible in the areas not flooding with the pollution of Konoha's downtown city lights.
"I've decided, I won't tell them anything." Kakashi responds after a while, shoving his hands into his pockets.
'This isn't my secret to share nor my happiness to break.'
He can hear Hinata breathe a sigh of relief behind him, breathe coming out in short puffs in the cold air.
He turned to face her fully then, continuing on. "I won't tell them anything. You two will."
-X-
"I still don't see how you can be so calm about this!" Kiba growled, lowering his voice at the annoyed stares other patrons gave him.
Shino shouldn't have agreed to them eating at the always busy 'The Breakfast Pantry Café and Shop', especially at this time of day when so many people were coming in to enjoy the coffee or their infamous pancakes.
But of course Shino thinks he's been too 'moody' as of late, dragging him out of bed before even his alarm went off or the sun having come up!
"We needed to get here early or else we wouldn't have gotten a seat." Shino points out, gesturing to the long line growing just to get inside.
Kiba rolled his eyes, stuffing a piece of pancake into his mouth. The sweet doughy mix of butter and syrup melt on his tongue and he relaxes just slightly knowing the food here was worth the trek in the dark.
Hinata should be enjoying this with them…
And damn it there he goes again, thinking about her.
He promised Tamaki his feelings were fading, they went out again to the movies just this past weekend and he had enjoyed the romantic-comedy he had let her pick out despite his own wanting to see the newest action flick.
She had kissed him out of the blue when he led her to her door safely, pressing her lips to his with as much fervor she could muster.
With all her pent-up feelings…
He held her close through it, parting his hands through her dark chestnut hair to bring her close, whispering the one name he couldn't take back…
"You did it again." Tamaki whispered against his lips when they pulled away, partly out of breathe as she looked down.
He blinked at her expression, somber brown eyes flickering between anger and upset.
'Shit. What did I say?' Kiba internally freaked out, reeling his mind through everything that had happened over the past few hours.
Hadn't he said the right words? Told the right jokes? Held her at the perfect moments?
Tamaki blinked back the tears in her eyes, clenching her teeth as she shook them away.
They couldn't keep doing this, it was hurting her too much…
Oh did she badly feel like scratching out his eyes right now, or at least giving him the cold shoulder that cats were apparently so good at in comparison to dogs as he put it.
"You don't even realize that you said it, do you?" She went on, voice crackling as she refused to give him any hints.
"I can't be Hinata and until your feelings for her truly die, we can't see each other anymore." She croaked out, rushing inside her apartment and slamming the door behind her before he could say anything.
And since Tamaki had given him that ultimatum, she hadn't returned any of his calls or texts. When he passes her in the halls at the veterinary school, she looks the other way…
It felt like his heart was being crushed all over again.
"Why did this have to happen Shino? Why did it have to be Hinata? We were such good friends growing up all three of us, why did the way I looked at her change when for you it didn't?" He mumbled.
Shino patted his arm gently. "The heart wants what it wants. Hinata has always been a good friend we went to for advice and help, sometimes when friends are close things like that happen. Whether or not it becomes mutual though changes from person to person."
Kiba clicked his tongue, smiling in spite of the ache in chest. "Geez, when did you get so good with love advice? You've never even dated as far as I know, unless you're holding out on me too."
Shino scoffed, leaning his head against his hand. "Nobody ever seems to want to listen to me most of the time."
"Cuz you're so broody and quiet it scares people!" Kiba retorted.
Shino arched a brow. "Are you suggesting I be loud and abrasive like you?"
Kiba shrugged, mind briefly flickering to Naruto. 'It works for some people evidently.'
Why had he wanted to talk to him the other day anyways?
He had nothing to say to the guy, but he had noticed his cobalt eyes hadn't been as bright and cheerful upon his arrival to his apartment (he assumed Hinata had given him his address).
"Look, can we please talk?" Naruto inquired once more, following right behind him out of the classroom.
He had the misfortunate of sharing science and English with him, a fact he hadn't even realized until their professors had noted upon his improvements in class during quizzes and tests.
Naruto usually just slept through these classes beforehand.
"I have nothing to say to you." He grumbled out, sidestepping him at every move he tried to make to walk beside him.
People watched the display in curiosity, nervousness, and anticipation. Waiting for the fists to start flying.
Yeah, he wasn't risking getting expelled…not over him.
"I know you don't like me and I know you think I'm a monster…" Naruto went on, quieting his voice until they were around less people.
Kiba shook his head, picking up his pace. "Correction, I saw you were a monster or some type of freak. Wish I had taken my phone out at the moment to capture it."
Naruto gritted his teeth and he smirked, knowing he had struck a nerve into the man's usual sunny disposition.
"That's why Hinata's helping me learn to control it. I didn't pick for this to happen to me." Naruto explains, though his voice is so quiet now he's not even sure if he's hearing him correctly.
It doesn't matter though, he doesn't want to stick around to listen.
At the time, he had simply been in a hurry just to get away from him.
Because every time he looked at him he was reminded of Hinata. Hinata who chose him, who leaned to him for comfort, who she kissed and loved…
"Naruto's not actually that bad of a person once you get to know him, he has these actually good ideas on how to improve the city once he becomes a judge or some type of representative on the board. We talked for a few minutes the other day about it for our government class." Shino noted.
Kiba sighed, burning his lips on his tea.
Great, even Shino was starting to think Naruto was good! Did he just selectively forget about the time Naruto growled at them?! Or when it looked like he had fox ears pop up when he accidentally groped Hinata?
He was the last sane person left from their trio.
-X-
"So, what happened to that one caller who used to keep you on the phone all night? Got scared away by the Madam's new rules?" 'Sweet Pea' chirped out innocently.
Oh, this woman was the complete opposite of the nickname she chose for herself.
'No, said man is just my boyfriend now.' Hinata thought, shrugging her shoulders. It wasn't like it was any of her business when she didn't even have a man.
But her voice was refusing to work to say said snarky comeback aloud.
Sakura sent her a glare from across the room, effectively making her shut up. "Don't harass her Sweet Pea just because your popularity is on the downfall while Lilac's is on the rise! Men don't like the smell of desperation, even if they can't see you in person."
"It isn't like you've been racking in the calls either 'Blossom'. You and Daisy always stick together to cover for her, Lilac can handle herself without you two on the nights you don't work." The woman huffed in return, though her face had taken on a reddish hue at the truth being spoken aloud.
The other ladies within earshot had snickered in agreement with Sakura.
Hinata took the empty spot beside Sakura, leaning her head back to check the time. "3:11 am, almost done."
Ino patted her back gently, making her look over to her with a weak smile. "Rough night, but won't be long till 6 am is here! Not to mention, it's payday this week."
Right, the money was what kept her coming back here.
Because otherwise, her heart and mind were elsewhere.
A week ago, she had been getting a creepy caller who had been requesting her at odd times of the night, they never chatted for long and she hadn't known what to make of the suave voice he had at times to the cold, scathing one beneath it.
"It's a nice night, isn't it? The moon always seems to get bigger at this time of year." The man stated.
Hinata looked outside, the moon indeed looked bigger in time for Long Night moon that came with every winter, silver glow casting shadows against the buildings.
The city was sleepy now, buzz of parties dying down as the wind rattled leaves against emptying streets littered with booze, drugs, and trash.
He hadn't asked yet for her to 'undress' herself or perform some action, maybe he just wanted to set up a romantic mood.
It was rare these days men ever just wanted to talk.
But then he asked her the strangest question, one that made her too nervous to even speak.
"Is it true you have a boyfriend Hinata? I didn't know call-girls could have one."
She had freaked and immediately ended the call with a slam, heart thundering against her chest as her body quivered.
This man knew her real name.
She had told Sakura and Ino about the event, the three going straight to Tsunade over the incident that she had a potential stalker.
Though Tsunade hadn't seemed as worried after she did an extensive background check following her new policies.
It came up with nothing.
For the next weeks, she traced her calls and looked into the men who requested her specifically, but the mysterious caller never showed up again.
"Sometimes guys do find out your real names, though usually they back out as soon as they know it's me they're dealing with." Tsunade pointed out, cracking her knuckles in emphasis.
And true, the man hadn't called since that incident...
Still, she was afraid and had taken to secretly looking up during her breaks job offers at Konoha's main central hospital and the smaller branches and clinics.
Her eye had caught a posting for needed new ophthalmologists for their pediatric and geriatric clientele. The population who often broke or misplaced their glasses and were either losing their vision or beginning to have trouble with it.
She had showed Sakura the online postings who had eagerly whispered to her in the spring, there was a chance she could be working in either the emergency or intensive care sections. Ino too had the opportunity to work in the psych/behavioral unit if enough spots opened up.
"I bet Madam Tsunade can put in a good word for you too!" She beamed.
A phone abruptly rung off beside them and both paused for a moment before Sakura begrudgingly picked it up.
"Jewel after hours, this is Blossom." She purred, smirking at the sound of panting on the other line.
Hinata shivered, still not understanding how she could be such a pro at talking to men like that.
"Oh, of course I'm free to talk for the next hour honey as long as you know the fees of the service. Okay hmm, you want me to join you in the shower?"
Yes, anything to escape from this.
-X-
"Are you ready?" Hinata asked.
"Not really!" Naruto chirped back.
"Good, that makes two of us because I'm not either." Hinata replied, biting her lip and feeling the urge to start pacing again.
Naruto just watched her in amusement from her reflection in the mirror, red vintage floral long-sleeved dress swishing with every motion she made back and forth. The curls of her violet hair bounced as she adjusted the matching golden necklace around her neck, sighing as she looked for any other imperfections.
"You look great." Naruto mused softly, adjusting his jacket on a bit slower to gaze at her fully.
Hinata reddened, his voice had gotten a bit hoarser all of a sudden and she twisted with her bracelet as he stepped closer.
"Naruto, we can't…the driver father sent for us is going to be here within the next 15 minutes. This is an upscale restaurant too, I don't know why he couldn't have us all sit down at the manor." She breathed out, before finding herself becoming quickly pressed against the door.
Naruto grinned deviously as he leaned down to her, giving her a flash of his growing razor sharp teeth and tail swishing along her legs.
"Sounds like plenty of time to me." He drawled by her, nipping at the tender skin and kissing his way down her neck.
Hinata squirmed slightly, breathe hot against the side of his face. He moved back to meet her gaze, pouting innocently.
"Come on, one kiss for good luck?"
"Good luck?" Hinata repeated.
Naruto nodded. "Good luck so that your father or Neji don't attempt to hold me down and castrate me!"
Okay; unlikely to happen on her watch, but if it would make Naruto focus on finishing getting ready…
She stepped forward to bring her lips to his, parting just as quickly only for Naruto to continue with light pecks, holding her in place until a moan slipped out.
"Don't want to stop now, huh?" Naruto laughed as she opened her eyes to see haunting crimson staring back at her.
He moved with the one hand to maneuver to her back to pull the dresses' zipper down, sliding it down enough for him tug and fiddle with her bra.
Her fingers threaded into his hair as his thumb ghosted across her nipples, lips parting in a breathy whine as he began to massage at them.
He hoisted her up against the door with one tail, the other brushing against her nether regions as her dress began to slide up.
Her phone rang in the distance, spinning her back to reality.
"That's him." Hinata voiced.
"We have enough time to finish." Naruto replied, gripping her a bit tighter as he slid her underwear to the side and messed with buttons and zipper of his own pants.
He sends her a look that he intends to make sure they both finish what they've started.
And she forgets about the repercussions, the annoyance that will mar her father's face knowing she's late to a meeting she planned…
Naruto holds her tightly as she comes down from her high, grunting as his thrusts die to a slow rhythm as he releases into her. Sweaty and neat curls she spent the last hour working on fan her face in now complete dishevelment.
"We may need a new bathroom door." Naruto murmurs, setting her down carefully. There's a noticeable crack forming in the edges of the hardwood.
But that's the least of Hinata's problems as she stares at fresh new scratches and sore red spots in her reflection.
Crap.
10 minutes later, Ishida the driver sent to pick them up is about to stop ringing their doorbell and go when she fumbles out his name, brown eyes widening at the sight of her messy appearance.
"Are you alright Ms. Hyuga? I did call to say I was 5 minutes away, though you never picked up." He asked, stepping back to the door.
Hinata nodded, cheeks burning as she smoothed out her dress and hair. Yes, it didn't look as good as before, but she could fix it on the drive to the restaurant.
Hopefully.
Naruto walked out from beside her to close and lock the door behind them, tussled look making him seem like he only had a bad case of bed hair.
"Sorry we kept you, alarm didn't go off and we both had to duke it out getting ready in the bathroom! You know how it goes." Naruto hummed.
Ishida only nodded slowly, his tie was on backwards and his mouth was smeared with tell-tale pink lip gloss he hadn't completely washed away…
"Right, well we should get going."
-X-
"Traffic hold you up?" Neji asked sardonically, arching a brow as Hinata and Naruto finally came into view from the entrance.
Hinata settled for giving him something between a frown and a smile.
She hoped she had covered those hickeys well enough with the little time she had had to re-fix her dress and make-up.
Hiashi just nods at them with a small smile.
"Sorry, our alarms didn't go off properly for the times we set." Naruto lies easily, guiding Hinata to sit down in the booth before following after her.
The ambience of this place is nice, not anything he could ever afford as he watches servers pass with steaks and lobsters held up to shimmer under the chandelier's lights.
A waiter comes to get their drinks and a silence falls over the table.
This was it.
Kakashi had said he wasn't or hadn't told father or Neji anything important, he was leaving it up to them to tell the truth.
She fiddled with the latch of her purse, stomach doing flips.
'How am I going to start this off?'
Should she wait until they were more into their meal? Save it for the end?
'No, I can't chicken out on this! I just need to go for it and explain everything clear and concisely.' Hinata told herself.
"I know you're wondering why I asked you both to meet us in person again after such a short time, but I figured I needed to be up front so there aren't any secrets or surprises in the future. So first things first, I know you hired Kakashi Hatake to investigate Naruto." Hinata spoke up, glad she didn't stutter or fumble over any of her words.
Hiashi frowned, mulling over his next words carefully. He glanced towards Naruto to see his expression, only to find he looked completely indifferent over the matter.
"I see. I know you don't appreciate me interfering in your life so much, but I only did it out of concern for you."
"I'm surprised you even wanted to go with Kakashi knowing his history of openly reading porn in public places; he doesn't hide being a fan of Jiraiya's work you know." Naruto brought up with thinly veiled amusement.
Hiashi choked midway on his water he had reached to sip, sending a glare to Neji who looked equally stunned at the news.
"He does what?!"
"N-Never mind that father, you haven't exactly heard accurate information from Neji and whoever else has been creating bad rumors around Naruto!" Hinata quickly added in, reaching to pat his hand and send Naruto a pointed look of 'don't give them heart attacks please!'
Naruto only smiled, twiddling his thumbs innocently.
Neji cleared his throat, pale eyes narrowing. "You still haven't given us any reason not to worry. No offense to Naruto, but when we see you with bruises and scratches or hear that he can be vicious, you understand why we get concerned. What exactly is it that you have to hide from us?"
Hinata squirmed, he unfortunately had a good point.
She casted a glance over to Naruto, he was none the wiser to what she had planned behind all of this…
To trigger him here in front of them.
She sucked in a few deep breathes as she sat up straight, blood rushing to her cheeks.
"What…What if I told you I could prove Naruto wasn't dangerous, right now?"
Neji's lips quirked upward in interest while Hiashi only leaned forward curiously.
Meanwhile Naruto was giving her a 'what are you planning to do?' look of interest and panic.
"I'd say go for it." Neji stated, crossing his arms as he sat back.
'This ought to be good.'
Hinata unfurled her hands then, sliding them beneath the table over to Naruto who was staying oddly quiet.
But then he feels her hand touching and rubbing at his groin area to below until he stiffens, light yelp escaping as his fox ears instantly popped out.
And Neji now looks like he's choking on air as his breathing stills while Hiashi's eyes rapidly bugged out.
"Hinata!" Naruto hissed out between grunts in shock, though to his surprise Hinata only smiles lightly as she pulled her hand away.
It worked.
"Father. Neji. This is what I've been keeping from you."
-x-
Go big or go home, Hinata was going to have to tell them somehow or else risk them finding out in a worse way lol. I'm so excited about writing the next sections of this story, so many fun scenarios now that more people know about Naruto's case! Looking forward to your thoughts on what Neji and Hiashi will do next!
Enjoy. Review. Favorite. Follow!
