Until your eyes don't shine

Chapter 3

by Gaahina chan

She was mesmerized with the view in front of her. The sun was setting slowly; the pale colors that surrounded the almost cloudy sky adorned the sight very much. Pink and yellow mixed with purple along with the blue that was starting to gain territory. The moon which was appearing to the other side of the sky was starting to shine and cover the night sky with its brilliantness. Stars started to sparkle and Ino couldn't help but giggle. She loved the feeling when the stars appeared for the first time in the day and the fact that she was here, with him, made it better.

It has been 3 weeks since then. To their disappointment, they haven't met anyone in the course. Still, the fact that no enemies have found them was a good thing. They were now at full capacity to fight but they couldn't ignore that they were few for a total crew. Last time they got lucky that there were only two but now they feared that a whole army could trap them. In that matter Neji was very effective. With his byakugan, he traced a path that didn't have any crew on the course. Ino was grateful about that. Although they knew that the possibility to find anyone was minimum, they still have faith in the abilities of the other ninjas to survive.

Ino snapped to reality as a droplet touch her shoulder. She looked up to the sky and saw that the clouds had gathered into an ugly stormy sky. Ino was afraid of thunder, but she wouldn't let some weather features scare her. She saw Neji calling her so she went to him.

"I see people coming this way. They might be enemy because I see that strange chakra that the other man had" Neji said. He looked at Ino to see any sign of fear but she didn't show any. "Might as well take another route" she said confidently. They started to run, Neji in the front and Ino following him, not losing the sight of his back.

As they ran in the rain, Ino started to wonder how Neji felt about them. Since that day, he hasn't said anything about the kiss, or the fact that they hugged for all night until they woke up. She felt that she belonged with him. No one in her whole life made her feel like he did in that faithful night. She was conscious that she was falling for him. Not only because of his worry of that night, but also because he was very handsome, strong and she loved the little things she knew about him. She knew that he cared too much for the people of Konoha. Although she didn't want to, numerous times she heard his thoughts about how his precious ones were. Like if they were alive and things like that. She also loved the fact that he cared about his appearance like her. He never left his hair messy in front of anyone. He was neat and very conservative. He spoke when it was needed and he has those characteristic eyes of his. They were like pale, taunting gems that expressed emotions when he wanted. The only chance that she has got to see those emotive eyes was when they hugged. He had this care and peacefulness, along with some surprise in them. She didn't know if it was love but she hope for it.

Ino turned her head away from his back. Thinking about him only made her fall even more. She didn't know if what he did was for comfort or because he wanted to. She didn't have the courage to ask him because she feared that she would ruin their relationship. Sometimes, she wished that she could speak with him, to tell him her worries, her likings, the things she liked about him and the things she hated about herself. She didn't care if he never said anything. She knew that it was the way he was.

He was like the total opposite of her. He was quiet, strong, never explosive and very conservative. She was like a princess waiting for her prince to come rescue her from this pain. She was loud, careless and over reactive. The thought that they were so different scared her. Maybe he wasn't interested at all. Maybe he just did it because of pity. But then, he wouldn't waste his compassion and comprehension if that was the case. He wouldn't have kissed or embrace her so protectively. He wouldn't let her feel these things every time she looked at him or thought about him, or imagined him touching her…

Ino shook her head furiously. She knew that being paranoid was one of her bad qualities but right now wasn't the time for it. She decided to drop the matter and concentrate in finding some other ninjas.

To Ino's ignorance, Neji had seen all her dilemma with his byakugan. He didn't know why she was so disturbed. She seemed very preoccupied about something. He assumed that it wasn't because of her teammates because he knew that she would be depressed. But right now, she seemed upset rather than sad. He started wondering what was in her mind. He believed that she was a complex person. She had seen many thoughts through her ability. But, what about her? What were her thoughts in a fight? When escaping? When she was with a friend? When she was with him?

Somehow, Neji knew that everything would change after what happened. Kissing her wasn't his intention. He only wanted to lessen her pain by assuring her that she wasn't alone. But at the end, he realized that he liked the feeling, when he was with her. The brush of her lips against his was like stopping time. He couldn't believe what a simple thing could create inside of him. He wondered if she felt the same way.

Neji couldn't deny the possibility that she was troubled because of what happened. Maybe it was the result of not talking about it. He also was starting to get paranoid. He wanted to believe that she liked him. That she liked being with him. But now that she was so quiet, he wasn't so sure. His byakugan told him that she didn't regret the kiss. But what if it was because she was depressed and she couldn't hang on anybody else? What if he was some sort of temporal feeling to recover her lost? He started to feel anxiety and a little weak because of his thoughts about her.

What was she making inside of him?

Neji came back to reality as water came pouring harder. He spotted a nice place to sleep so he lessened his velocity and made a sign for Ino to do the same. They landed and started to make some genjutsus for their hiding. Ino sat down and sighed as she saw how a black cloud covered the forest. Harsh rain fell down making Ino shiver in discomfort. She liked rain but not storms. She closed her eyes and noticed Neji was staring at her. He looked like he wanted to say something.

"I don't like storms. So please bear with my weakness" she said angrily. She didn't want to appear weak in front of him but she couldn't help it.

Neji stare at her intently. She was beautiful he noted. Her clothes were damp so she must be freezing. At this point, Neji's heart started beating a little faster. His mind pictured him embracing her, warming her. Like if they were just one, all alone.

Instinctively he stood up and Ino looked at him. His pale eyes remained focusing on her blue ones. It was as if looking at the sky itself. He could see the free birds flying through that vast sky. He could feel himself drawing near her. His foot started to move by themselves. He felt his chest being perforated by his pounding heart. The image of Ino's eyes widening slowly came to him. He kneeled in front of her, not breaking eye contact. She tried to move but he put his hands on her shoulders. She made this unbelieving look that made him a little nervous. Slowly but aware of it, Neji pressed his chest against hers. He let his hands fell down to her waist, tracing her curves. Ino's eyes started to close and he looked at her. She looked so peaceful so beautiful to him that it made him want to just hold her and kiss her. But he needed to know.

"I want you" he said simply.

She opened her eyes and tears pleaded to come out of her eyes but she wouldn't let them. Ino decided to make a move. Her hands slowly lifted from her lap to his cheeks. His eyes never left hers. He needed to know what was she feeling. He desperately wanted to hear something from her pink lips.

"I think I'm falling for you" she said, her mouth covering his. He pulled her closer and then he ran his hands through her back and hair. She touched the nape of his neck and then she set free those beautiful black strings that came out of his head like a dark waterfall. Her lips crushed his in a desperate attempt to never lose each other. She ran her fingers through his hair pulling him closer, if possible. He grabbed her shoulders to hold her firmly against his already hot body. He felt this strange yet exciting sensation travelling his entire body. He knew now that he loved her. He didn't know how but this woman made him want her so badly that it hurt to be away from her. He loosened the tie of her ponytail and let his weight fall over her making them fall down into the ground. Ino ran her tongue between his lips and he hungrily ran his tongue through her sweet mouth. She tasted so wonderful that he didn't care that they were so wet and dirty. He loved being with her. He wanted to be with her forever and protect her with his own life. Ino too felt the same and as their lungs pleaded for air they separated each other.

They gasped and looked at each other. Between breaths, Neji let out what he was feeling without thinking.

"Marry me" Ino looked at him like he was crazy yet the truth in his eyes told her that he was serious. "I don't know how, but I love you. I want you to be with me forever. We could marry and be forever together. I'll promise to protect you and love you with everything I have. Please"

"Neji I-"she put her hands in his cheeks. "Are you sure? We barely know each other… Yet I feel the same…and I mean I love you but, what if we are wrong? It is too soon to do something like that!"

"If we love each other then everything else doesn't matter! Time won't wait for us. We are in a war, we could die! This is just, you and me, and, I… have never felt this before. You caught my heart with your actions; the support that in my entire life I didn't receive. You were there when I needed help and now… I have fallen in love with you…" Neji's breath was agitated. He was very nervous. He didn't have a ring or a romantic dinner. He just had this tremendous love inside of him that could make him a very happy man or a destroyed human.

Ino smiled and Neji looked at her dumbfounded. "I too, want to share my life with you Hyuuga Neji. I promise to love you and protect you with my life. That our love will not die even if we leave this world. I will always have you within my heart. For whatever matter, I'll always be with you in mind, soul and heart" she said laughing a little. Her heart was beating so fast that she was afraid that it could kill her.

Neji couldn't believe his ears. She had accepted. They were now a marriage couple. Husband and wife. He felt as if he was dreaming but he was conscious. He embraced her deeply, kissing her with all his passion. He let his hands travel his new wife's body, exploring territory that has never been conquered. She gasped as Neji ran his tongue between her shoulder and neck. She felt as if she was born again. All the feeling and pent up emotion thrashing out of her heart like in a fury wish of closer contact. She grabbed his head and made him kiss her another time. Their lips parted and tongues danced in the crook of their mouths. Ino forcefully turn around Neji so she was on top of him. Neji sent her a weird look but when she started to take off his shirt he smirked.

Ino let her hands wander all over his broad chest and firm muscles. She discovered that she loved touching his shoulders so she seductively ran her tongue along the nape of his neck to his shoulder and then to his chest. This time Neji let out a moan of pleasure. Ino grinned and then Neji pulled her closer, unbuttoning her top. Neji then changed to their past position. He discovered that Ino was indeed a very sexy woman. Her arms were slim and the skin of her shoulders and chest was even paler than the one on her face. Although she still had her bra on, he could see her hardened nipples through it. Ino felt very nervous about Neji seeing her body, but at the look of him when her chest was exposed, she felt like a goddess.

Neji threw away the garment and grabbed her breasts, massaging them up and down in a rhythmic motion. They were the perfect size. Not too little not too big. They fit perfectly between his strong hands. Ino moaned over and over again as he continued his erotical massage. She felt wet between her legs and then she pleaded for him to make her his.

Neji saw the way she looked at him and in an instant her skirt was discarded. He could see through her panties that she was very wet. He admired her curvy body. Her long pale legs fitted her slim waist and perky breasts so perfectly that it was hard to contain the growing bulk on his pants. Ino blushed furiously. Neji was licking his lips and looking at her at the same time! Neji lent down to her mouth and kiss her one more time before he directed his tongue to her hardened nipples. Ino moaned deeply at the contact of his wild tongue in her nipple. He then directed his hand to the part between her legs. He felt her wetness and then he started massaging the area with his fingers. A shot of electricity ran through her whole body and she knew that if he stopped by now she would die.

After some minutes of Neji's ministrations, Ino decided that it was time to make him lose control too. So she grabbed him by his shoulders and turned him around. She then lowered her head and kissed him slightly. "Now it's my turn" she said smirking. She then grabbed his pants and pulled them off. She saw through his boxers that he was very turn on so she grinned mischievously. Neji then read her mind and he started to panic. Ino lowered his boxers and slowly grabbed his erection with her hand. She started rubbing it until Neji couldn't help but moan. She grinned and then she licked the tip of his penis. She then put his member in her mouth and started sucking it.

Neji couldn't believe the pleasure he was receiving. How was she so good? He then felt that he was reaching the climax so he moaned loudly and white liquid came out of his member. Ino licked all of it and then she looked at him. He had this expression that made her think that he was in heaven.

Neji then grabbed her by the hips. He sat and then he kissed her passionately. A hot feverish kiss that prepared them to what would consume the act of love and their marriage. Neji looked at her intently. She nodded and then he put her below him. He entered her slowly and she felt pain curse through all her body. She shouted but then she smiled at him to continue. He pushed into her harder and faster, each time Ino shouting his name, a pool of blood coming out of her. He looked at her worriedly but then she said something that surprised him. "This is my first time, don't worry. I love you…" He smiled and felt his love increasing even more.

He felt her walls pressing his already growing member and then he felt a shockwave that travelled all of his length. She was so tight that it hurt but then the pleasure time came. He felt as if Ino and he were one. Connecting each other by body, mind and heart. He felt complete with her. And there wasn't a way for someone or something to separate them.

Gaahina chan: …TT. This is something I really thought about for some time. I mean this fic. All this idea came to me one day after I woke up. Please review and be gentle. My lemon isn't that great, I think. And sorry, but I think chapter 4 is going to be a little late because I'm passing through a writer's block.
