Hey guys! It seems you all enjoyed the last chapter! The amount of reviews was pretty impressive so I'm posting a little earlier than usual. I know my refusal to use proper terms to describe the lime scene in the last chapter may have been annoying but I don't want this story to become smut. Everyone fools around when they're falling in love, and I'm trying to express their innocence with the process. Writing in words like penis and breasts just seems to take away from that. And several people had a problem with the age of Naruto and Hinata. This annoyed me. We are talking about people who live alone, go out on dangerous missions and risk their lives, and who are supposed to kill people for a living. And you have an issue with some nudity? I don't write this story with 13 year olds in mind. I write it using the personalities of Naruto and Hinata. And their personalities are way older than their actual age. Please don't focus on their age. I will write in the time-skip soon. Anyways, I had an idea to put Ayame in my chapters. She would add some great opportunities to the adult content as she is much older than Naruto. She would also provide good contrast against Hanabi who provides a young and devilish aspect. Ayame would probably be much more mature and cunning in her sexual advances and I think it could be fun. Please let me know what you think!

"HINATA!" Naruto shouted as his grip loosened. He looked down at the vast darkness below her and tightened his grip on Hinata's hand.

"Please don't let go, Naruto." Hinata cried as she hung from the side of a cliff. The only thing saving her from a deadly fall was Naruto's firm grasp on her hand.

Hinata began to slip from Naruto's hand and he felt pain and fear hit his stomach. He swung his other hand forward to try and catch her, but it was too late. There was nothing he could do except watch as Hinata fell into the darkness.

"HINATAAAA!" Naruto screamed as he awoke from his nightmare. He sat straight up in his bed, breathing heavily with a glistening layer of sweat on his bare skin. He quickly pulled back the blanket and searched for Hinata.

Naruto sighed with relief when he saw Hinata curled up beside him. Thank goodness… It was just a dream…

Naruto smiled softly to himself as he watched Hinata sleep. There was a faint grin on her face and her hair was all rustled up. He gasped quietly when he realized she was naked. He watched her breasts closely as they moved up and down while she breathed. Naruto gulped as he realized that he too, was naked.

Naruto thought back to what he had done last night and his stomach did a back-flip. Suddenly, Hinata sighed and cuddled closer to Naruto in her sleep. Naruto grinned and laid back down allowing Hinata to rest her head on his chest.

Naruto chuckled softly. They had fallen asleep pretty early last night, but Hinata was still fast asleep. Naruto wrapped his arms around Hinata and continued to watch her sleep. He couldn't figure out why, but looking at Hinata smile made him feel happy. He had never felt this relaxed and content in his entire life.

About an hour later, Hinata began to stir from her peaceful slumber. She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Naruto's blue eyes staring right back at her. Without thinking, Hinata leaned forward and kissed Naruto softly on the lips.

Naruto blinked in surprise, but he quickly recovered and returned the kiss. "Good morning to you, too." Naruto joked as Hinata pulled back from the kiss.

Hinata blushed as the logical part in her realized what she had just done. However, she ignored that part in her and listened only to the emotional part of her. And that part of her wanted another kiss. Hinata dashed in and stole another kiss from Naruto.

Naruto laughed as he wrestled with Hinata's advances. The two of them kept rolling back and forth, stealing kisses from each other. After a few moments, they rolled onto their backs and tried to control their laughter.

"That sure is a nice way to wake up!" Naruto said as he sat up. Hinata quickly reached up and pulled him back down into her arms.

"Let's just stay in bed all day. I don't want to leave your side." Hinata said softly as she embraced him from the back.

Naruto's heart skipped a beat and he turned to face Hinata. "As you wish, my princess." Naruto bowed his head with mock sincerity.

Hinata giggled and slapped his arm playfully. "I'm an heiress, not a princess."

Naruto smiled. "What's the difference? You can be an heiress to everyone else, but to me… you're a princess."

Hinata's lip trembled as she blinked back tears. That was the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to her. She threw herself into Naruto's arms and hugged him tightly. Naruto blushed as he felt Hinata's chest pressed tightly against his own.

"Naruto… You make me so happy… I really like you. No… It's much more than that." Hinata pulled back and gazed into Naruto's eyes. "I have always liked you. Even back when we were still in the Academy. You are the only thing in my life that I can actually rely on. You have given me everything I could have dreamed of. I don't know what I would do without-"

Naruto silenced her with a soft kiss. Hinata's eyes watered as she felt Naruto pull her into a warm embrace.

"I really like you, too." Hinata's heart jumped as she heard the words come from Naruto's mouth. "I didn't realize it until recently, but being around you makes me happy. Nothing in my life has gone the way I wanted it to. I was always held at an arm's length. You have shown me what it feels like to be held. You have given me everything I needed, but never dreamed I would have."

Hinata opened her mouth to speak, but her voice broke. She tried to hold back her tears, but she couldn't. Her tears of happiness poured down her face as she leaned forward to kiss Naruto again. Naruto felt tears on his cheek as he kissed Hinata. She wasn't the only one crying during the kiss.

Meanwhile, at the village entrance, Hidiki and his father were putting their plan into action.

"State your names and your business." A guard asked as Hidiki walked past the front gates. Asuka stepped forward and flashed a small piece of paper.

The guard's eyes widened and he immediately made a deep bow. "I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding! A Kenji is always welcome in our village! Should I inform the Hyuuga House of your arrival?"

"There is no need. We are here on a personal matter. Thank you." Asuka said with a faked smile. The guard bowed again as Hidiki and Asuka turned to leave.

Hidiki grinned, baring his fang-like teeth. "That sure was easy. Now we just need to find this Naruto Uzumaki. Once we have located him, I will dispose of him while you grab Hinata Hyuuga."

Asuka frowned. "I thought we weren't kidnapping her."

"We aren't. You are. Hinata must never relate me to what will happen today. Once she loses both her home and fiancée she will be in need of great comfort. And I will be the one to give it to her. She will see me as her savior. It is only a matter of time before she becomes my wife." Hidiki grinned, his eyes filled with lust.

"With that kind of hold over the Hyuuga clan, the most prominent clan in Konoha, the Kenji family will soon become the most powerful family in the country!" Asuka shouted gleefully.

Hidiki frowned and looked over his shoulder. "Quiet, Father! We wouldn't want anyone to catch wind of our little scheme, would we? We need to check one of these restaurants and see if we can gather some information on Naruto."

Asuka nodded and followed after his son. They walked along the street until they came to a small restaurant that was filled with chatting customers. As the two walked into the restaurant, Asuka turned to his son and spoke in a muttered voice. "Find a table in the middle of the action. I have a plan to draw out some information."

Hidiki nodded and headed towards an empty table while Asuka wondered outside and out of sight. Hidiki sat quietly for several minutes listening to several of the conversations near him. Hidiki frowned as he tried to ignore the elderly ladies sitting just behind his booth. They were merely gossiping about the latest fashion and Hidiki couldn't care less about what color was "in" right now.

Suddenly, a lit explosive kunai hit the ground just outside the restaurant. Hidiki's eyes widened in terror as he watched the kunai explode. There was a deafening shock as all the windows in the restaurant shattered and burst into the restaurant. Several tables near the entrance had been thrown back into some very unlucky patrons. The majority of the customers seemed unhurt, but several were nursing deep cuts and bruises.

"NARUTO!" A voice shouted out from the confusion. Hidiki immediately recognized his father's voice and his lips curled into a twisted smile. So this was your plan, Father… Hidiki turned his attention back to the elderly group behind him. They had just started whispering to each other as they cleaned up the mess from the explosion.

"Naruto, again?"

"I can't believe he would go this far…"

"That damn kid. This village would be so much better without him!"

"We were cursed as soon as that nine-tailed demon was sealed inside of him."

Hidiki blinked. Did he just hear "demon"? He had heard that sealing a demon inside of a person was possible, but he had no idea there were any successful attempts. So this Naruto was actually a sealed demon. Hidiki let a small chuckle escape his lips. This was good news. Very good news.

Hidiki walked outside and away from all of the commotion on the street. A few moments later, his father jumped down from the rooftops and landed beside him.

"Any news?" Asuka asked his son.

"Yes. Your plan worked perfectly. This will make things a lot easier. Here is the plan…."

Meanwhile, Naruto and Hinata were sitting in bed, enjoying a few moments of peaceful silence. Naruto's stomach growled loudly and Hinata giggled.

"I guess it's time for breakfast. And it's my turn to make it." Hinata said throwing back their blankets.

Naruto opened his mouth to protest, but Hinata silence him with a small peck on the lips. A blush crept onto her face as she pulled back. "I don't think I could ever get used to that…You give me butterflies." She climbed out of bed and grabbed one of Naruto's discarded shirts. She pulled the shirt over her head and it fell down to just beneath her butt.

Naruto gulped as he watched Hinata's firm legs walk out the door. Once he heard the sounds of cooking, Naruto got out of bed and threw on some pants and a t-shirt. He then headed downstairs to join Hinata. Just as he entered the kitchen he noticed Hinata reaching up to the top of a shelf to grab a box of ingredients. However, as her arms reached high above her head, Naruto's shirt got pulled up a few inches gracefully exposing Hinata's butt to Naruto.

Naruto blushed and tried to avert his gaze. His stomach twittered a bit and he felt his knees get weak. You give me butterflies… Hinata's words echoed in Naruto's mind and he looked up to watch Hinata's face as she cooked. What is this feeling… It feels just like the time I drank that expired milk… Does Hinata make me feel sick?

Hinata gasped a little as she nearly burned one of her fingertips. She put the finger into her mouth and sucked on it gingerly. Naruto smiled and allowed himself a small chuckle. No… She doesn't make me feel sick… This feeling is different…

Naruto continued to watch Hinata cook until she had finished and had set his plate in front of him. There was a deep crimson blush across Hinata's face as she sat down to eat. She had felt Naruto's gaze on her as she was cooking. She wished that she had grabbed some underwear before coming down to cook.

Naruto looked down at his plate and he nearly gasped. There was a large pancake on it, but the pancake was in the shape of a large heart. Naruto looked up in confusion and Hinata gave him a cute smile. Naruto felt the unfamiliar twittering in his stomach again as he quickly looked back down at his plate.

Naruto sliced a piece of the panic with a fork and placed it in his mouth. His tastebuds almost shivered in delight. "This is good, Hinata! Way better than the ones I made a few days ago! What did you do to them?"

Hinata giggled as she watched Naruto gobble the food down. "I just added a few other ingredients. Cinnamon, vanilla, and some other spices."

"You sure know how to cook! I wish I could cook like you." Naruto said with his mouth full of delicious pancake.

Hinata blushed. "There are a f-few simple meals that I c-could teach you…" She averted her gaze and nervously tapped her fingers together. She was glad that even after all they had done, spending time with Naruto still made her feel this happy. If anything, she was even more nervous now that Naruto had said he liked her. Every moment with him seemed like a dream.

Hinata watched happily as Naruto ate his food. He was eating so quickly, little pieces of pancake were getting stuck to his face. Without thinking, Hinata reached over and plucked a piece off of his cheek and stuck it into her mouth.

As the sticky sweet substance entered her mouth Hinata froze with her finger still in her mouth. Her cheeks burned and she looked back at Naruto who was also blushing.

"Hey… I was saving that…" He chided as he poked Hinata in the side. Hinata burst out in a fit of giggles from the combination of the poke in the side and Naruto's silly comment.

Naruto perked up and his face twisted into an evil grin. "Hinata…? Are you ticklish?"

Hinata's laughter died in her throat. She vigorously shook her head while putting her hands up in front of her. "N-No! I'm not!"

Naruto's eye twinkled and he made a nimble dash behind Hinata. "Are you sure?" He placed his hands near her hips and slowly poked her in the side again.

Hinata held her breath and tried to hold back her laughter. Her body shivered as Naruto started poking up her sides until he was underneath her armpits. It soon became too much for Hinata and all the air she had been holding came exploding out in a fit of laughter. She pushed Naruto playfully and ran out of room. She stumbled into the living room with Naruto right on her heels tickling her relentlessly.

Hinata fell back onto the couch and quickly picked up a cushion to fend off the tickle attacks. She threw it at Naruto and it bounced off his face. Naruto pretended to be stunned as Hinata picked up another cushion. She held the second cushion in front of her like a shield as laughter continued to bubble from her mouth.

"S-Stop it! I can't breathe!" Hinata cried in between giggles.

Naruto obeyed and withdrew his fingers, allowing Hinata to catch her breath. He sat down on the couch next to her feet. Hinata lifted up her legs for a moment to allow Naruto to sit closer to her. She then put her feet down gently onto Naruto's lap.

Naruto eyed her bare feet for a second before slowly and softly dragging his finger down the middle of one. Hinata immediately started laughing and squirming all over again.

"N-No! Not my feet!" Hinata yelled playfully as she tried to wrestle out of Naruto's grip.

As the two continued to play and wrestle, Hidiki and his father were wondering around outside the Hyuuga complex.

"You sure they live here, Father?" Hidiki asked as he leaned against a tall wooden post. "I'm pretty sure we have passed this post before."

Asuka frowned. "Hiashi would never let the clan's precious heirless live anywhere else other than here. And I would bet my entire fortune that Hiashi, that pompous ass, built his daughter her very own house. And I would also bet that he hasn't finished it yet. So all we need to look for is a house that is still in construction."

Hidiki rubbed his temples with his fingers. "Yes, I understand that. But we have looked all over this damn complex several times and there are no half-finished houses!"

Asuka hung his head. He hated being wrong. "I guess it's time for plan B."

"Plan B?"

"Ask for directions!" Asuka said with way too much pride. He quickly spotted the nearest Hyuuga and ran up to question him.

"Excuse me, sir? I'm a… uh… wood contractor and I heard you guys recently bought a large quantity from my company. I'm here for just a follow up."

The Hyuuga frowned. "Well… It's not really my area of expertise, but we did build that entire house a while ago." The Hyuuga gestured to a large house behind him. "Something to do with the young heiress, I believe."

Asuka's eyes widened. "You mean it's already been built?"

"Almost. The main part is done, but Hiashi still wants to add several more wings to it. I guess we will be needing a lot more wood in the near future." The Hyuuga gave Asuka a brief smile and excused himself.

Asuka went back to his son with a triumphant smile on his face. "It looks like I was partly right after all. And I found the location of their house."

Hidiki smiled sinisterly. "Good. Lead the way."

Meanwhile, Naruto and Hinata were lying on the couch trying to catch their breath. Hinata stood up and went over to pick up the cushions she had thrown across the room. However she forgot that the only thing she was wearing was Naruto's shirt. She bent over to pick up the cushion and Naruto froze as he was visually reminded what Hinata was, or rather, wasn't wearing.

Naruto's cheeks burned and he let out a sharp gasp. Hinata suddenly remembered that she wasn't wearing underwear and she quickly stood up and pulled Naruto's shirt back down past her hips. Hinata's cheeks matched Naruto's as she turned around slowly.

"I-I… um… should go g-get dressed…" She muttered as she ran upstairs holding the shirt below her hips.

Naruto nodded slowly, his face frozen in shock. He didn't even notice Hinata was already upstairs.

What was that? Hinata mentally yelled at herself as she got dressed in her usual clothes. He has already seen me naked… Why am I still embarrassed? Why was I okay this morning and not right now? Hinata thought back to the shower they had shared the previous night and the romantic moment they had shared this morning. Maybe it's because he told me he likes me? Or maybe it's because I hadn't expected to expose myself like that…

There was a loud knock at the front door and Hinata nearly jumped out of her skin. She heard Naruto open the door so she took another moment to straighten her hair before going downstairs.

"…Hello?" Naruto said as he pulled open the door. His brow furrowed as he looked upon the two men standing in front of him. He had never seen them before, but there was something Naruto felt like he was missing. It was a boy who looked only a few years older than Naruto and an older man who was most likely his father. They both had long, dark hair as black as night and they were both dressed in extremely expensive clothes. But the thing that caught Naruto's attention was their piercingly cold stare. There was something strange about their eyes…

"Can I help you?" Naruto asked after a moment of awkward silence.

The young boy smiled and stepped forward. "Yes. Are you Naruto Uzumaki?"

Naruto nodded and opened the door wider so the two men could step inside. As they got further inside and closer to Naruto, Naruto felt his stomach churn. Something was not right.

"As I was saying…" The young boy spoke up. "I was wondering if-"

"Hidiki Kenji!"

Naruto and the two men turned suddenly to face the stairs. Naruto frowned as he noticed a faint smile twist at the corners of the boy's mouth. Naruto's hand instinctively went for his kunai pouch on his right leg, but his hand only grasped empty space. Naruto cursed mentally as he remembered all of his ninja equipment was upstairs.

Hinata came down from the stairs to stand by Naruto's side. She reached over to wrap her hand around Naruto's. She really needed his courage right now. Hidiki gave her the creeps.

"What are you doing here, Hidiki? I thought I said I wanted nothing to do with you!" Hinata said with more strength than she realized she had. Naruto was also impressed and he squeezed Hinata's hand reassuringly.

Hidiki laughed quietly even though Hinata's words had cut him deeply. He quelled his anger and spoke very softly. "That's why I'm here. I plan on fixing that." Hidiki took a menacing step forward towards Hinata.

Naruto quickly stepped in front of him. "I think it's time for you to leave."

Hidiki ignored Naruto and focused his gaze on Hinata. Hinata shuddered, but she remained firm, refusing to look away. Hidiki's irises flashed a furious shade of yellow and Hinata felt her knees go weak. Suddenly there was a loud crash as Naruto was thrown several feet into the wall.

Hinata gasped and tried to run to Naruto's side, but Hidiki caught her and held her in place. Hinata watched in terror as Asuka walked over to Naruto's crumpled body. Her body went cold as Asuka picked Naruto up by the neck. Naruto started struggling as his airway was violently squeezed shut.

Hinata's world went dark and time seemed to slow as she watched Asuka pull a long knife out of his jacket. She opened her mouth to scream, but her voice caught in her throat. Fear gripped her heart as she wrestled with Hidiki's tight grip. She was completely helpless as she watched Asuka drive the blade into Naruto's chest, piercing his heart. Naruto's feet suddenly stopped kicking and his arms fell to his sides. He slowly turned his head to look at Hinata as blood dribbled out of his mouth. He mouthed Hinata's name before completely going limp.

"NARUTOOOO!" Hinata screamed as Asuka threw Naruto's lifeless body to the ground. Pain and horror flooded into her as tears poured from her eyes. Hidiki let go of her and she sank to her knees. She outstretched her hand trying to reach Naruto, but her world suddenly went black.

Yes, I know. I'm a jerk for ending it like that, but I couldn't help it. The evil cliffhanger strikes again! I promise that I won't leave you all hanging for too long. I will begin writing the next chapter as soon as I post this one! Leave a good review and I will try to post by the end of this weekend!
