"Umm, Tayuya?"

Hinata looked over at the naked redhead that was following her around trying desperately to grab at the produce in the store. It was probably the afterglow of the best round of sex she ever had followed by its almost as good sequel, and the third act that happened just a scant few hours ago in the shower was fantastic, but she was beginning to appreciate the craziness the female ghost brought into her life.

When they were at home. Not in the middle of the store.

"What's up Sweetpea?" Tayuya stuck her hand through a barrel of oranges, her face filled with disappointment. Even as her round breasts sat on her chest ready for Hinata to touch - an offer that Tayuya had made was always going to be on the table.

Hinata tore her eyes away from the redheads handfuls focusing on her grocery list. "Not that I umm, mind but why are you following me?"

"Because I'm bored and its fun to make people think you're crazy by having you talk to yourself in public." Indeed there were quite a few villagers giving her a wide breadth now. Perhaps she better be more discreet, she'd hate to have people think she was actually crazy right before her wedding. "That and Lover boy is studying or some shit, and as fun as it would be to watch him squirm as I gave him a blow job in front of his sensei, he asked me not to."

Tayuya floated through the fruit and grabbed her shoulder shoving a breast into her face. "Besides, I need to have some girl time with my side chick."

Side chick? No, nevermind, probably just another random nickname. Like sidekick, but with girl instead.

"Why are you so sex crazed?" She asked barely above a whisper.

Tayuya frowned. "Cause sex is great."

"Tayuya, please, I'm your sidechick right? You can tell me." Hinata smiled, dragging Tayuya along to the next item on the list.

"You sure I can't just eat you out while you shop? It'd be a lot more fun and a lot less depressing." That one got her, sending her into a blushing storm as she handled a particularly phallic vegetable. They were going to have sex again tonight. All night. What the hell was going to happen on their honeymoon?

"Tayuya please, I want to know more about you." It would help her come to terms with why exactly she allowed this woman into their lives so easily.

Tayuya backed away, her usually cocky smile vanishing. "Fine," She said that word with far to much spite. With a breath Tayuya's anger was released and Hinata saw what lay beneath all that. "Have you ever died Hinata?"

"Huh?"

"I don't remember much about the first time I died, or what happened after that. There really wasn't anything I guess, the second time I got reanimated I remember being controlled, and I hated that. I hated it so much that when I could release myself I did, bonus points if I brought that bastard Shikamaru with me, but I didn't." Tayuya let out a sigh, pushing back a tuft of her red hair, her arms crossed over her chest in some failed form of modesty. "After that it didn't suck, it didn't anything there was nothing, nothing, nothing and more nothing. It wasn't that I was alone, it wasn't that I was the only thing there. I was nothing. Just a vague concept of myself. And unending boredom."

"I'm sorry," Hinata began, She had gotten a bit of a rundown on Tayuya's history from Naruto courtesy of Orochimaru. It wasn't good, if anything her time serving under Orochimaru was the best part of her life. "That must have been hard on you."

Tayuya laughed. "It almost started to hurt at times, but I couldn't feel anything." A smile twisted onto her face as she held out her hand in front of her heart, moments later strings of red appeared all pointing in the same direction. "Then this began to appear,"

"A red string of fate," Hinata mumbled, blindly following the string, it pointed in the vague direction of where Naruto should be. She reached out and touched the string. It was warm. The string wrapped around her finger then pulsed and grew longer and longer trailing down her arm until it reached right above her heart. It was like her soul was leaving her body once more. But just a part, her own string - purple compared to Tayuya's - mingled and danced with Tayuya's before they entwined. "We're connected."

"Apparently?" Tayuya shrugged. Waving her fingers about the whole of their strings revealed themselves, mixing into a knot with a third orange string. Naruto's. "Anyways, Loverboy's string appeared and I followed it to him. It was like the first time I ever orgasmed, just feeling in his dream for the first time. It wasn't even a sexy dream or anything he was fucking eating ramen. Eventually I was able to do more stuff, until..."

"You had sex with Naruto in his dream." An old lady looked at her weird. "Oh uhhh, sorry I meant that I was umm that is."

"Oh nonsense Lady Hyuuga, it's so wonderful to see young love as eager as yours." The old woman placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her a sly wink. "Not that I can blame you, that Naruto boy is quite the catch."

"Umm thank you."

"Anyways ya, that's pretty much it. All I could do was talk and touch. I can't taste anything, or smell stuff just talk, listen and touch. And the best way to touch someone is to fuck their brains out." She smiled into a sigh, touching her cheek. "But really I think I'm just fucked up in the head and I really love to fuck Loverboy."

"I can accept that." Hinata bowed at the produce Tayuya was currently half floating through. "But if you can't taste or smell things, would you like to borrow my body for a meal or two?"

"Fuck yea!, but by the way I can taste your pussy, so," Tayuya wiggled her eyebrows. "Time to eat?"

Tayuya dove head first into Hinata's crotch, nearly knocking her over. She felt Tayuya's hands on her bare flesh under her skirt, a moments after the redheads face vanished beneath it's frills she felt that wonderful wonderful tongue pierce her sex.

It was really awkward to buy groceries while having an orgasm. But also, really kind of hot. Wait was she a pervert now?

XXXX

"That was the best thing I have ever eaten." Tayuya groaned rubbing her belly full of ramen. It was actually quite impressive, if Hinata hadn't set a limit then the girl might have beaten her own record. But it was her body winning it twice so what would that mean?

Hinata floated behind her body as Tayuya strolled through the streets, a brilliant smile on her face that Hinata wasn't sure she could replicate despite it being her own face making it. Every time someone came into flew she would flinch and try to cover herself, only to be reminded that the only one that could see her was Tayuya, and Naruto whenever he was done.

Tayuya came to a dead stop in front of a music store, turning into a little kid as she looked at a flute that was on display. With eyes full of a childlike excitement she turned to Hinata. "Can I? I haven't played a real flute in forever?"

After a brief bit of head counting Hinata nodded yes, they could likely make it through the next month without a small loan from her father, even with the wedding costs. "Did you play the flute a lot?"

"Yea," Tayuya nodded her fingers twitching to a soundless rythme. "It used to be my favorite thing. I think."

"Sure," Hinata nodded. "I'd like to hear you play as well."

Tayuya sprinted into the store, slammed the money onto the counter and was out in a heartbeat. Flute already in her mouth. The sound that came from it was exactly what Hinata expected a flute to sound. But the emotion behind it, like long lost friends being reunited at last.

It was simple and beautiful.

Then the revelry began. It was like a glorious celebration of all music was coming out from the flute. The low notes boomed like thunderous drums, the highs sung like early morning birds, each one blended into the next as naturally as a river flows downhill, even when they jarred left to right, fluttering about like a skittish hummingbird.

Hinata could feel and see the sound as much as she heard them. It was beyond anything she had ever heard before, but it was like everything she had heard. Music in its purest form. All this coming from a shinobi that had once been forced into Orochimaru's servitude. With a talent like that Tayuya could have made a living playing that flute of hers.

"Bah," The girl spat once she finished. "Could have done better with my own fingers."

A crowd that had grown around them cheered. Roaring applause and praising the heir of the Hyuuga clan for having so many talents.

Praise that Tayuya took with a smile and began a second verse.

AN: No sex, mostly just Hinata and Tayuya bonding and stuff. Trying to make this ghostly threeway make sense. And a bit of plot!
