Hinata awoke that afternoon feeling refreshed and after a shower rejuvenated. She quickly dried her hair, got dressed and left her room. When she got into the hallway she ran right into a wall of muscle...a.k.a. Sasuke.
"What're you doing here Sasuke?" Hinata asked after backing up a little so she wasn't pressed up against him seeing as she noticed her father was standing behind him.
"I have something to ask you," Sasuke started then glared at Hiashi. "I wanted to talk to you in private but you're father wanted proof if you agree."
"Alright ask away." She urged wanting to know what was so important that her father would want to witness it.
Sasuke being Sasuke got right to the point. "Hinata will you move in with me?" he asked looking directly into her eyes. She was blind-sided which was something Hyuugas were not used to, she looked at her father who just stared back at her blankly seeming to be trying not to smirk.
"It would be my pleasure." She said smiling and wanting to leap into his arms but since she was in the presence of her father she resisted.
"Very well then Hinata you may choose to leave whenever you wish, we will send someone over with your belongings as soon as possible." And with that the head Hyuuga turned on his heel and left. When he was out of sight Hinata said sarcastically "I'll miss you too Father, don't worry I'll visit."
"Sorry Hina if you don't wanna move in with me you don't have to I know you were kind of put on the spot with your dad there and all. But I knew I'd have to ask his permission first otherwise if you said yes I'd get excited then pissed if he said you couldn't." explained Sasuke
"Of course I wanna move in with you Sasuke I just wish I could've gotten some reaction out of him that's all." She smiled walking over to him giving him a quick kiss. "Now help me pick out what to bring to your house and then what to leave to be sent over later." she instructed pulling a duffel bag out from under her bed.
"You mean our house and can I pack your underwear?" he asked with a smirk.
"Pervert." she muttered but smiling at the fact he said 'our' house. "Top drawer." she laughed as he headed straight for her dresser and pulled the drawer open walked to her duffel bag and dumped it in.
"Alright the rest can be sent later." he said in all seriousness.
"You are hilarious you know that." She stated as she added other necessities to her bag before grabbing her ninja gear which she slung over her shoulder then threw her duffel bag at her boyfriend who of course caught it with one arm with a smirk.
"Ready Hina?" he asked hoisting the bag onto his shoulder.
"Yep quick question though." she smiled wryly.
"What?" he asked figuring she was up to some stupid joke.
"Do I get my own room?" she asked with the same smile on her face.
"Hina, shut up." he smiled nodding his head from side to side in disbelief, then taking her hand as they left the Hyuuga grounds and headed towards the Uchiha complex. The lavender eyed girl just giggled swinging their hands back and forth.
With Shikamaru and Temari
"So is this troublesome?" Temari asked from her position of half laying on her boyfriend with her arm slung over his waist as they leaned against a tree that was close to their campfire.
"It wasn't until you opened your mouth." he chuckled as she hit him lightly.
"Lazy bum." she muttered but couldn't help but smile in contentment that she was with the man she loved who she had been away from for so long and they had completed their mission successfully, which always had put her in a good mood.
"You love me." Shikamaru stated cockily.
"Che, yeah still haven't figured out how that worked out." she smiled.
"Well you see when a man and a woman really like each other..." Shikamaru smirked not having to finish the sentence as Temari knew were he was going with it.
"You are such smart ass this is why Yoshino and I have to be such hard asses with you." she laughed.
"Yeah a man's worst nightmare his mother and his girlfriend actually like each other." he said with a shiver.
"Now Shika you wouldn't want us to hate each other now would you?" She asked with a puppy dog pout.
"Damn it Tem, you and that face." Shikamaru muttered. "No I wouldn't want you to hate each other but I also don't like the fact that you two would conspire against me in a second." he said in a much clearer voice this time.
"Shika, Shika, Shika, you know we love you and would never do anything to upset you. Besides like I could get past you with your genius I.Q." She said sitting up facing him kissing the tip of his nose.
"What's with the sweet act. Do you have a fever?" He asked pressing his lips to her forehead to check.
"I most certainly do not! I don't see why a girl can't be sweet to the person she loves if she wants to be." She fumed.
"First off you are naturally not the sweet type of person, unbelievable gorgeous, fun to be around and very lovable yes. But not sweet unless children are involved." Shikamaru started
"Your younger than me." she pointed out with a smirk.
"Ah and this only proves my second point which I don't think you really care if you aren't a sweet person like Hinata because I really don't mind you how you are. Even if you are an old bag next to my youth." Shikamaru laughed.
"I am not an old hag I'm only three years older than you. And don't say 'youth' it makes you sound like Lee." she shuddered at the thought of the young man.
"True and it's not like you act like you're twenty you actually act more like you're fifteen which would make you two years younger than me, although you do have rather nice assets so that might be questionable to a fifteen year old but I liked them just fine when I was twelve so I think we're in the clear." He chuckled at her horrified face.
"You checked me out when you were twelve!" She raised her nose in distaste at her own train of thought.
"Well I guess I turned thirteen and you had yet to reach your birthday so it was only two years difference at the time, and what is so terrible about that, I was very mature for my age." he questioned.
"Because if you wanted to when you had control over me while fighting you could have made me do perverted things!" She screeched hitting him.
"Oh please like I'd honestly do that in front of all those people plus I'd would never force you to do anything you didn't want to do unless it's cloud watching because I know you secretly enjoy it." he smirked as her face started to redden from slight embarrassment.
"I'm going to bed." She huffed before stalking off to the tent where she threw herself under the covers and tried to fall asleep. She wasn't alone long before she heard the tent flap open and close as Shikamaru entered.
"Tem you're not really that embarrassed that you're not even gonna change into your pajama's are you?" He asked laying down next to her wrapping his arm around her waist pulling her back against his chest as he propped his head up with one arm so he could look down at her face.
"No, I just don't like that I'm so much older than you it bugs me sometimes." She muttered turning around to look at him.
"How come it's not like it matters, we're the same rank, we love each other, and nobody but people who are close to us know and they don't give a rat's ass." he stated playing with her hair. "And besides if you were the same age as me Gaara would be way younger than the Konoha eleven and wouldn't have met Naruto for the Chuunin exams and he would still be the creepy lil guy he used to be." he said lightly knowing if it was him making fun of Gaara she wouldn't care since the two boys often did to each other's faces.
Temari couldn't help but smile at the reference to Gaara and the fact that everything Shikamaru was saying was true.
"Well because I have been in a vulnerable state twice now on this mission I think it's time I show you how mature I can be." She said in a sultry voice.
"Oh and how's that." the younger man underneath her asked with a smirk on his face.
"By practicing safe sex of course." she laughed evilly before dove down to meet Shikamaru's lips. When she pulled back so she could set to work Shikamaru chuckled.
"Well that's the only thing you act maturely with besides being a kunoichi." he smiled as he too set to work with his own ministrations.
"Shut up kid." she chuckled darkly before she too didn't speak anything but audible moans and whimperings throughout the rest of the night.
