White Kunai

Chapter 14- Feel

Naruto, Hinata and Ino stood once again in Tsunades office, wary of what was to come. Tsunade stared at them each, one by one. Hinata looked nervous but curious and her eyes seemed hardened by bad memories. Ino had a frown on her face and looked stiff. She knew what happened. Naruto was confused but his facial expression showed he was ready for anything.

"I have some bad news," the Hokage said. She waited for them to say something and surprisingly none did. Even Naruto was oddly attentive. "All seemed to be going relatively well in the Village of Ash," she said. "The new team stationed there heard of no new rape victims and the killer hadn't made any known appearances." She paused. "But last night a group of young women were found massacred in that abandoned area of town you, Hinata, had your encounter with that group of men."

Hinata looked distraught. Ino and Naruto looked surprised.

"Wait," Naruto said, waving his hands. "Women were found massacred? What's that supposed to mean exactly?"

"Half a dozen women were found lined up on the ground in that empty area you fought Okami," Tsunade explained. "Curiously enough…none had signs of being raped. But all had a white kunai stuck through their hearts, as did the other people who fell victim to the White Kunai Killer." The trio looked disgusted. "I don't know if this is of importance really," Tsunade said with a sigh. "But one of the six women had a little note attached to her kunai. It read, "Foxy" with a little heart next to it."

Naruto and Ino raised their eyebrows. Hinata's mind immediately went to the killers partner she heard in her dream. Before she had a chance to say anything Ino piped up. "Sounds like that woman," Ino said, nodding at Hinata. "The partner."

"Hm," Tsunade said, thinking. "Most likely."

"Wait so why'd he kill them?" Naruto inquired. "I thought he normally…well…raped women and then killed them?"

Tsunade sighed and glanced at Hinata. "He left another note." The Hokage grimaced. "He left it in the snow. Cliché. A red note. Written using blood."

"That monster," Ino said with a gasp. Ino had constantly been at Tsunade's heels to continue being updated on the course of the Village of Ash mission so she was quite knowledgeable on what went on with the other group sent out. She'd been helpful on giving the Hokage information that they'd gathered from recon. She had also been trying to accomplish something else.

"What did it say?" Naruto asked. Hinata stayed quiet throughout the ordeal. She had a sinking feeling she knew what it said.

"Bring us Hinata or you'll see more than just six." Tsuande said grimly.

"Why are they so suddenly obsessed with Hinata?" Naruto asked, outraged.

Tsunade's eyebrows knit together. "Not sure but Ino here says she has a suspicion that Hinata's met them."

"But I was practically with her the entire mission!" Naruto exclaimed. "Everyone she's met, I've met!"

"Well for some reason Hinata left an impression."

"So what now?" Naruto asked with a huff.

"We go to the Village of Ash." It was Hinata who said this. The entire time she was in the office she had looked wary and nervous with only a dash of confidence but now, Tsunade noted with a smile, her eyes were hard and her body language stiff. She was angry. She was determined. "We catch this murderer and his accomplice. We turn them in or they die in the process." She was ready.

Her partners looked at her in surprise but Tsunade briskly got up from her seat looking proud. "That's the spirit!" she said. "Good, because Ino had been at my back these last few days trying to get a new mission assigned to you three." Hinata and Naruto glanced at Ino who just smiled a bit nervously. "She kept pressing the fact that your previous mission was a covert one and since you failed that one you were available for new missions. The recent team that was sent out to the Village is returning because I am assigning a new assignment." The three straightened, standing at attention. "Your new mission will simply be to capture or kill the White Kunai Killer. No need to disguise yourselves. No need to lure him into a trap." Tsunade shook her head. "No, this mission will be more dangerous. They want Hinata? We will give them Hinata. I trust you three will be able to figure this out, put it into action and successfully accomplish what we need to get done?"

"Yes, Hokage!" they said together.

"Good," Tsunade said with a stiff nod. "The killer also hung little notes from the kunai's in the women's chests. Some were unimportant," she said, thinking of the note with the heart, "but others read: "You have a week." "We will know if she's here." "We will get her when we think it's time." "We will not appear if we feel there are too many of you. Consider well." "If we do not appear…if she does not appear…bodies will."

Ino shivered. "Gruesome."

"I'd advise you three leave sometime tomorrow or the day after," Tsunade said. "You do have a week to show up in the village but…why keep him waiting," she said sourly. "And who knows what he'll do within the week…"

"We'll leave sometime tomorrow in the afternoon," Ino stated for the three of them. "That'll give us enough time to rest up and prepare and we also won't waste too much time that way. We'll run to the village. No need to pretend to be normal civilians and walk. I'm sure you have hotel rooms for us?"

Tsunade nodded, pleased with the way the kunoichi took charge. "Same one as before only because I'm positive the killer knows who you are now and, as the notes indicated, you will be watched. They will come for Hinata and you are no longer hiding so…actually those rooms would be perfect."

"Great back to that horrible place," Naruto mumbled. "But I'm real glad we get to just go in there, chakra blazing!"

Ino laughed. "Yeah, I don't think covert is really your style."

"Too impulsive and loud," Tsunade said with a smile.

Naruto groaned. "Why do you guys gang up on me?"

"I think he would do fine if he tried," Hinata piped up.

Naruto looked at her gratefully. "See. She thinks I can do it."

"Well, statistically, someone has to," Ino said with a smirk.

Naruto grumbled and the women on his team laughed. "Alright, alright. That's enough," Tsunade said, hiding a smile. "We have more serious things at hand."

"Exactly why we need some laughs!" Ino exclaimed.

"Yea, but not at my expense!" Naruto said with a pout.

Tsunade chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Well, I don't have anything else to say. I wouldn't be sending you out on this mission again if I weren't sure you three were capable. I don't expect you to come back scratch free but the only major casualty, if any, that I expect is the killers," she looked at them sternly. "You know what to do and you know how to do it, I'm sure. Good luck. You're free to go."

Naruto took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, throwing his arms behind his head. "Well, back to the Village of Ash."

Ino headed towards the door giving them a brief wave goodbye. "I'll see you guys at the gate tomorrow afternoon!" she said. "I'm going to start preparing and thinking about what's to be done."

When the door shut behind her Naruto glanced at Hinata. "Ya know, she's not that bad."

Hinata giggled. "You mean you aren't scared of her anymore?"

"Oh, she can still be scary," Naruto said with a chuckle. "But we make a good team, don't you think?"

"I think you do," Tsunade said from behind them. "Now go on. Don't you have things to do?"

"Okay, okay Granny Tsunade," he said, taking hold of Hinata's hand and heading down the same way Ino did. "Expect us back by the end of the week!" he said confidently.

"I'll hold you to that," the Hokage said as the door slammed shut.

"Naruto-kun, will you cut these onions?" Hinata asked, handing him the round vegetable.

"Naruto eyed the furry ends with narrowed eyes. "It has hair."

Hinata turned from the stove and looked at him with a smile. "You have to peel it." She gave a small laugh and took the onions from him. "Stir what's on the stove please. I'll peel these and then give them to you to chop."

Naruto did as he was told. He was glad Hinata came over to make dinner for them both. After they left Tsunade's office, Hinata headed back to the Hyuga Compound to inform her father about her new mission. An hour or so later there was a knock on his door and when he opened it he saw Hinata standing at his doorstep with bags filled with groceries.

"Hinata," Naruto whined a few minutes later, turning to face the Hyuga with watery eyes. "I don't think I like onions." He sniffed and wiped at his eyes.

Hinata laughed and took the roughly chopped onions from him and added it to the ingredients cooking on the stove. "You did great, Naruto-kun."

He watched over her shoulder as she added different spices to the pot. He placed his hands on her hips and leaned over her lightly. "Smells good, Hinata."

"Thank you," she said, turning her head and giving him a light kiss on his lips. "It'll be ready soon."

"Good because I'm getting hungry," he said, nipping gently at her skin.

Hinata blushed. "Let's save that for d-dessert."

Naruto's eyebrows shot up. "Hinata!" he said, pleasantly surprised. He let go of her waist and grabbed two plates, setting them on the table. "Well let's get to eating then!"

Hinata laughed. "Naruto-kun, it's not done yet!"

"Can I snack on you while I wait?" he asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Hinata held back a laugh and just shook her head. After a few minutes she turned off the gas and brought the pot over to the table, ladling out the food for the both of them.

"Food's ready, Naruto-kun!" Hinata announced, taking a seat near him.

"Looks great," he said taking a big bite.

"Careful, it's hot!" Hinata said with a gasp as Naruto's eyes widened and he opened his mouth in pain.

"Tastes delicious," he mumbled, this time blowing slightly at his food. He vaguely remembered when she had made rice cakes that looked like him and that he had said she would make a great wife some day. He smiled to himself. She really would, wouldn't she?

Hinata thanked him and took small bites of her food. She seemed in deep thought and Naruto assumed it was because of the mission they were about to undertake the next day.

"Naruto-kun," she said. Her words were filled with nervousness but she was looking at him confidently. "We're going back to the Village of Ash tomorrow…" she trailed off, picking at her food.

"You worried about the mission?" he voiced gently.

She stared at him with a slanted smile. "I feel we're going to succeed." She hesitated. "I know we're going to succeed but there's something I want to do before we leave." She seemed really nervous now.

"And what's that?" Naruto asked, scooping food into his spoon.

"I…" she bit her lip and swallowed. She placed her hands in her lap, poking her fingers together and looked at him, her eyes glazed over.

Naruto placed his spoon down and tiled his head, looking at her in confusion. "Hinata?"

Hinata got out of her chair and rounded the table. Naruto leaned back in surprise as Hinata placed her hands on either side of his face and brought her lips to his.

The positioning was awkward but Naruto immediately melted into the kiss. He pushed his chair back and brought his hands to her hips. She was bending over in order to reach his lips but Naruto stood up slowly as she wrapped her arms around his head. He hooked his hands under her thighs and brought her legs to his waist. Hinata continued kissing him, her cheeks red, as Naruto seated her on the counter, their bodies pressed together.

Her kisses were desperate and as much as Naruto enjoyed what she was doing he felt he was missing something. He felt her hands on his chest as she gripped his jacket tightly. She was nervous before? Hinata fumbled with the zipper of his jacket. She was worried about something? Naruto felt her unzip his coat and he reluctantly pulled his lips away from hers.

"Hinata?" he said, breathing heavily. "Wait."

She froze, staring at him. Slowly she pulled her hands back to her body and looked down, ashamed. "I'm sorry…"

"No…Hinata, don't be sorry," Naruto said, gently pushing her head up with a finger. "I'm just…confused…and worried. Tell me if there's anything wrong."

She took a deep breath and placed her hand over his, as he did during the war. "Naruto-kun…A lot can happen during a mission and we're going to fight against a serial rapist." She tightened her grip on his hand. "I really do believe we'll succeed but anything could go wrong." She pulled his hand down slowly, her eyes still maintaining contact with his. "I'm just trying to say…that…that I want you to be my first." She swallowed and looked away.

Naruto felt his breath catch in his throat. "Hinata…" he whispered.

"And I'm not just saying this now because of this mission!" she suddenly burst, trying to clarify. "N-no. I've wanted this. I told you this before. I do want this."

Naruto smiled and kissed her forehead. "Well…I'm glad," he said, chuckling. She smiled and blushed, some of her nervousness fading away. "But…" he said slowly. Hinata looked up at him, eyes wide. He smiled at her reassuringly and ran his fingers over her legs, bringing them up to his waist once more. "Let's do this right," he said, carrying her to his bedroom.

The weather was cold outside but this went unnoticed by the two lying on the bed. Naruto kissed Hinata softly while gently removing her jacket and mesh shirt. He pressed her body to the bed with his own, both reveling at the tingling sensation they felt. She had already removed his jacket and he pulled away from her and lifted his own shirt over his head.

Hinata sat up, blushingly allowing her eyes to roam his body and Naruto smiled, watching her. She brought her fingers to his face, kissing him gently. Slowly she moved her hands down. She admired his broad shoulders, his tight muscles and thin waist. She was surprised by her own courage. She initiated the first kiss! She practically asked him to do this! Why was she so scared?

Naruto leaned forward to kiss her once again and unclipped her bra, throwing it aside. He could feel his heart beating fast and as he touched her soft skin he kept thinking how he didn't want to mess this up. This woman lying beneath him…he loved her. He wanted this to be a beautiful experience for the both of them.

Naruto moved his fingers down to the hem of her pants, his lips never leaving hers. She stiffened and the jinchuuriki pulled back, looking at her.

"Hinata, we can wait," he said softly, his breaths short.

"No," she said firmly, her pale eyes piercing into his. "I love you. I want this."

She stared into his eyes, searching for an answer. She noticed behind the glazed-over blue…there was a hint of uneasiness. She felt herself relax.

They were both nervous…and that's okay.

Hinata kissed him, trying to put as much passion as she could into the kiss. She felt Naruto wrap his arms around her tightly. Without breaking their kiss he lay her down once again on the bed, sliding his body between her legs. They were both naked from the waist up and this thought made her feel as though she were blushing everywhere. With the courage she felt bloom within her, she moved her hands down to the waistband of his orange pants and tugged.

She felt a vibration near her mouth and she realized Naruto was laughing! She broke their kiss and looked at him, cheeks red.

"Sorry Hinata," he said, chuckling, kissing her once. "You seem very excited."

"N-Naruto-kun!" she squeaked, slightly embarrassed. She pulled her hands away, fingering the bed sheets.

"I didn't mean it in a bad way," he said sweetly, trailing kisses down her jaw. "In fact, he said, his voice low. "I really like it." He gave her a grin, showing off his canines. Before she could respond he had removed his pants, throwing them haphazardly somewhere in the darkening room.

Hinata glanced at his toned legs before her eyes moved higher and higher. They stopped at his waist and she couldn't help but smile.

"Naruto-kun, you're wearing frog boxers," she said with a giggle.

This time it was Naruto's turn to blush. "Hey! I happen to like frogs!" Naruto pouted, looking away.

She laughed and soon he broke too, joining her in her happiness. It felt so natural and comfortable being half naked with one another. Soon, Naruto pressed himself to her again, this time giving notice to her breasts. Hinata's breath hitched when she felt his lips on her chest. After some time he pulled away and moved his hands to her hips, pulling her pants down. She lay on the bed, breathing heavily, clad only in her panties as Naruto eyed her with a dark, passion filled look.

They knew each other for so long. This wasn't just an infatuation. He loved her and she loved him. Sometimes he just wanted to keep her all to himself and protect her from anything that could hurt her. Other times he wanted to show her off to the whole world. Out of all the things he's accomplished in his life…having her was one of the things he most cherished. He loved her. But he had some worries. Was he good enough for her? She was a Hyuga. Hinata Hyuga. What if she realized he wasn't enough one day? He would break. But seeing her beneath him, he knew that could never happen. He loved her so much it hurt. The look she gave him reassured him. She was always, and will continue to be, by his side.

Soon enough the two found themselves completely free of clothes, breathing heavily, and sharing loving kisses. Naruto admired her every curve, staring down at her pale, soft skin. He placed tender kisses on every scar, memorizing her body. He kissed her once again, his tongue in contact with hers. He inhaled sharply when he felt her touch him in a way she never did before.

"S-sorry," she stuttered, pulling her hand away from his member.

"No, Hinata," he said, smiling and taking deep breaths. "Don't be sorry," he chuckled. "It's just…if you keep touching me like that I don't think I'll last too long," he said, sounding embarrassed.

She blushed in understanding, muttering a small, "Oh."

Hinata felt Naruto's hardness at her opening and felt a pleasant tingle run through her body. His lips were on hers and his hands were massaging the skin by her thighs. She could feel his fingers, hardened and calloused from training, move softly and gently against and through her. Fingers that have killed now doing such sweet things…just for her. Suddenly Hinata felt a feeling she felt once before as her back arched up and Naruto brought her over the edge with his fingers.

Her breathing was ragged and he kissed her hard once more before pulling away, still settled between her legs.

"H-Hinata…" he said deeply. "Can I-" His eyes darted down to where their waists touched.

"Yes," she said immediately, her chest heaving.

"I'm afraid I'll hurt you…" he said.

She smiled at his sensitivity. "I'll be fine."

He bit his lip before slowly pushing into her. Hinata shut her eyes as her body stretched to accommodate him. He pushed all the way in, both of them breathing heavily.

"Your barrier-?" he asked with a grunt, slightly confused.

"Many women's break through reasons other than penetration," she explained through ragged breaths. "Mine probably did during rigorous training."

"I love you, Hinata." Naruto kissed her deeply as he waited for her to signal she was ready.

The feeling of someone inside her was strange but fortunately she wasn't in intense pain. She shifted and heard Naruto hiss so she froze.

"N-Naruto-kun?" she asked. "Did I do something wrong?"

"God, no," Naruto said, pressing his forehead to hers. "I don't think I can take it anymore," he said, gritting his teeth.

She blushed and tilted her head to kiss him, telling him she was ready. Naruto pulled his hips back and thrust back in. Hinata heard that her first time could be painful but the thought of being connected with Naruto on such a level made her sigh in desire.

Naruto watched the woman underneath him writhe in pleasure as he moved in and out of her. With each thrust, memories of their different moments together flashed through his mind rapidly. The first time she confessed her love to him. Fog coated the windows. The first time they held hands. The silent night was cut by whispers of each other's names. The first time they kissed. He entwined his fingers with hers and pressed them above her head into the bed. He kissed her, muffling their groans momentarily.

Red graced Hinata's cheeks as she felt Naruto's lips move down and away from her mouth. She felt his teeth scrape against her skin as he sucked on her pulse point. She clung to his back, scratching it slightly, as he quickened his pace. She felt her heart beating fast and smiled as Naruto whispered sweet words into her ears in between kisses.

Hinata hooked her legs against Naruto's waist and he adjusted himself, his lips still pressed to her skin. He thrust into her once again, this time hitting a specific spot that sent a jolt of pure gratification through Hinata's body. Hinata cried out in pleasure, blushing intensely. She pressed her face into the crook of his neck, trying to stifle her quiet moans but failed as he hit that spot over and over again.

Naruto groaned, kissing her slick skin, at both the feeling he got as he moved inside of her and at hearing her cry out so happily. He heard her whispering his name as she hissed in pleasure. His hands were all over her body, as hers were on his.

Hinata felt a pressure building up within her. Her muscles were beginning to tighten as Naruto continued to slide into and out of her, kissing and touching her. Then, like a coil snapping, Hinata cried out Naruto's name as her body clenched around his, her orgasm hitting.

Naruto pushed in a few more times. He felt Hinata's body tense and the sensation helped him release into her. After a few more thrusts he groaned as he pulled out of her, kissing her tenderly before collapsing beside her.

She was breathing heavily as she lay on her back. She turned her head to look at him. He was leaning on his elbow, staring at her lovingly and grinning broadly. His chest was moving up and down as he breathed rapidly. She felt a slight soreness down below after he had pulled out but his glaringly bright grin pushed that pain away. She blushed at the look he gave her. She rolled over so her body faced his, giving him a small smile.

"I love you, Hinata," he said, crawling over to her. He pulled the blankets over them messily and draped his arm over her bare hip underneath the covers.

"I love you too, Naruto-kun," she said sweetly. He kissed her on her forehead, still smiling. "You seem very happy," she stated.

"Oh, I am," he said with a chuckle. "So happy. So, so, so happy." She giggled. "So happy I have someone who loves me. So happy I love someone like you. So happy I have you, Hinata."

She stopped laughing and stared at him with wide eyes. She didn't know what to say. She whispered his name softly before kissing him.

"Thank you, Naruto-kun," she said, snuggling into his chest. He trailed his fingers gently across her back, holding her tightly to his body. She could feel his heart beating as she pressed her hand against his chest. Suddenly she felt Naruto stiffen. He was staring off into space blankly. "Naruto-kun?"

"Hinata…" Naruto said, looking down at her a bit nervously. "We…we didn't use protection."

Hinata relaxed. "Oh don't worry about that," she said. "When kunoichi's reach a certain age they start taking pills in case something…goes wrong during a mission," she explained.

Naruto tightened his grip around her protectively. He didn't want anyone touching her the way he did. "I…that's horrible," he said, placing another kiss on her forehead. "But ya know what Hinata?" he said, looking at her questioning face. "I wouldn't mind having a kid with you." Hinata blushed furiously and buried her head into his chest. "Not now!" Naruto said frantically. "I mean…I…Oh man."

Hinata giggled and looked up at the frazzled ninja. "I understand," she said kindly. "Maybe we should get some sleep," she said, sounding reluctant. She was so comfortable right now but they did have a mission coming up. She sighed.

"Why?" Naruto asked as she glanced up at him. "You tired?" he asked, grinning mischievously.

She blinked, wondering what he was up to. "I'm not tired," she replied with a small smile. "Are you tired?"

Suddenly he moved so he was on top of her once more, straddling her waist. "Not too tired for a round two," he said before kissing her.

Their food is going to get cold.

Please review so I know people would like me to continue and I'll attempt to update as soon as possible.
