Alright thanks for the reviews and something I forgot to mention last chapter : Like with many things, Anko's backlash with her curse mark and Naruto's skill with seals will be explained later. Most likely in the NaruIno past chapter.

And to Animaman - The Bloodmist are indeed a knock off of Akatsuki, albeit a much more sadistic version. I've decided to take the route less taken with the Council. Instead of making them all out to be jerk offs who want nothing but to get rid of Naruto or close him off to be used as a weapon at their leisure, they're just as they seem to be. A group of old veterans who have seen so much death that everything they do may come off as hostile but it is all for the greater good of the village.

Be warned, there shall be a lemon up in hya. It won't be very graphic besides the bits leading up to it... and even then that won't be very graphic, but it shall be one of the most awkward things you have ever read- or at least from me I think. Normally I would have put a warning in the actual writing but, the build up is pretty obvious so you can skip it if you want.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Hinata could not stop fidgeting, she couldn't believe how nervous she was! It was their third date! Naruto sat across from her in the dimly lit restaurant, talking and smiling the way he usually did. She would give small smiles and polite nods when the situation called for it. If Naruto took notice of her odd behavior or was just as nervous he certainly didn't show it.

'Okay, just relax girl. You can do this! You've been wanting this night since you were thirteen!' Hinata thought.

When the waiter came to get their food she started twirling her fork as she waited for dessert. Every once and awhile she would use her napkin to discreetly wipe sweat from her brow and neck. All of the nervous habits of her's that she thought she had squashed down came bubbling to the surface. Blushing to shades of red that weren't even invented yet, stuttering with almost every sentence and of course bumping her fingers together.

"Remember Hinata! The third date is the most important!"

"Why?"

"It sets the tone of your relationship from then on. Third date means either casual dating or a commitment. Sex or no sex... that is the question."

"Sex?!"

She gulped, it had been six months since they started officially dating; they had taken it slow per his request. Sure they had "gone out" numerous times. Though more often than not it was meeting up for a late lunch or just hanging out in her favorite park. Their first date had gone off without a hitch, a movie- her choice- and whatever restaurant she wanted. At the end they shared a hug which almost made her faint. About a month later they went on their offical second date which again was up to whatever she wanted. A light dinner and a stroll in the park and ended with another hug, that time she kept it together. A month later they shared their first kiss, it was awkward, sloppy and- pardon her language- Fucking amazing!

Hinata had been both anxious and dreading this date... and Tenten's advice about dating did not help at all! She was brought out of her mental meltdown when a fork of cheesecake bumped her lips.

"Say ahhh," Naruto smiled at her.

Hinata giggled and opened her mouth, allowing Naruto to lightly tip the sweet treat in. Following her boyfriend's example she lifted a bit of cheesecake to his lips. After three more bites exchanged between them Hinata sensed an uncomfortable feeling wash over the restaurant. She looked around and saw people actually turning away from them. She blushed when she realized that they had become that couple people tried to avoid because they made them feel uncomfortable with all their lovey dovey stuff.

"Ignore em'... and continue with the dessert," Naruto smiled.

Again she giggled and took his suggestion with feeding him more cake. Ten minutes of cake eating later... Naruto paid the bill and left money for their waiter before they walked out of the restaurant. To anyone who knew Hinata it was an odd sight to see her so clingly to Naruto. Arms wrapped around one of his and her head leaning on his arm, how was it that this was the same shy little girl all those years ago? They walked calmly through the village, politely waving to some of the people that greeted them.

Soon the large Hyuuga mansion came into view, despite what people thought there were no guards even after the failed kidnapping of Hinata. He walked her up to the main entrance where they stood facing eachother in comfortable silence. She started digging her heel into the ground and rubbed her arm in nervousness.

"N-Naruto-kun?" she started.

"What's up, Hinata-chan?" he smiled.

"Well... th-this is our t-third date...," she cursed herself for stuttering.

"Uh-huh...?" he said.

"A-and... well we both k-know what that means," again she stuttered.

"We do?" he asked and cocked his head to the side.

"... Sex."

She watched in amazement when Naruto's face turned a darker shade of red than she ever had. When he gulped and pulled on the collar of his shirt she swore she could see steam escaping. Did he really not know? Or was all this an act? To be sure she looked into his eyes and had her answer; indeed Naruto had no idea this would happen. A nervous fear could be seen in his eyes as he looked everywhere but at her. A small smile graced her lips when she saw that, if Naruto was just as nervous- if not more- then, they were finally on equal footing.

"... Come on, Naruto-kun," she said with a smile as she grabbed his hand.

A gentle tug was all it took for him to follow her. For the first time in a long time he was nervous about being inside the Hyuuga mansion. Sure, meeting her father in the traditional way had freaked him out so bad he went a four day stress eating binge. But this!... This was... he didn't know what this was! After a few close calls in avoiding random clan members they finally made it to her room. He gulped and looked around, it was surprisingly decorated from what he expected of Hinata.

He had thought there would be a few knick knacks here and there. Instead, her walls were covered in pictures, three dressers loaded with trinkets and a few posters here and there. Most of the pictures, he noticed, were of her family both with and without her mother. Some even had her late Uncle and father smiling together. The nightstand by her bed held three pictures, first a picture of Team 8 when it was first created, then a picture of Hinata holding Hikari. The last picture made him smile, it was on their second date when they were walking through the park they had paid a kid to take their photo. They were standing side by side with his arms around her waist while she had one of hers across his back and onto his shoulder as they other lightly gripped his arm. He had his usual smile while Hinata had an equally happy smile.

Her hand on his face brought him to look at her again. She was blushing he swore he could feel the heat, when her eyes finally looked up into his there was no going back. He leaned down and she met him halfway in a sweet liplock, he angled his head to add more pressure. They had only once pushed pass the simple pressing of lips... it was really weird. In the moment Naruto tried again by prodding her lips with his tongue, she opened up. Quickly taking advantage of the opening he thrust his tongue in only to be met with her own.

'Alright, just remember what those stupid books said!' Naruto thought.

In a show of dominance he pushed her tongue back before exploring her mouth with his own. First he glided his tongue over her teeth then the roof of her mouth before pulling her tongue into his mouth. Following his lead Hinata started her own trail with her tongue in his mouth. Over the top row of his teeth, the roof of his mouth and all over his tongue. He pushed her tongue back into her own mouth before leaning back to give them both some air.

"... Wow," Hinata gasped.

"Yeah," he smiled.

Once they caught their breath they started kissing again. Suddenly they both caught a severe case of "wandering hand syndrome" and were all over eachother; more Naruto than Hinata. She blushed when she felt his powerful chest through his loose grey t-shirt. Her hands went down enjoying the feel of his abs before snaking behind and traveling all the way up his strong back. Unable to resist the urge, he ran his hands from her waist to her taut stomach and up, avoiding the breasts, to her back. He felt Hinata smile against his lips when he intentionally avoided her breasts, he smiled back and started trailing his hands down.

"Eep!" she squeaked when his hands cupped her rear.

"Oh! I'm sorry is that too much?" he asked.

"N-no it's fine Naruto-kun... I just wasn't expecting it," she blushed.

She shot him an amused glare when he gave her rear a squeeze. They started inching their way towards her bed and already Naruto was thinking about how it would go down. He would fall on top of her, remove her shirt and bra and then-

"Whoa!" he called out in surprise as Hinata tripped him.

All his plans were out the door now... she was on top! A predatory smile that was so... so, so- un-Hinata, split her face. He gulped as she lowered herself onto him.

"H-Hinataaah- oh geez!" he groaned when she took his earlobe into her mouth.

She was glad they were like this, he couldn't see how red her face was. Really, she had no idea what she was doing, just trying things that she hoped would feel good... trial and error. She smiled and blushed darker when she felt his hands on her waist again. Taking a calming breath and gulping she moved his hands to the hem of her shirt, a gentle tug was all it took for him to get the message. His hands shook when he pulled her shirt up, at least he was still nervous, she raised her arms as the lavender shirt came up and over.

"... Wow," he mumbled.

Hinata felt her blush extend down her neck when she saw Naruto's reaction. This was the first time he had truly-TRULY- seen breasts up close and personal... and, he knew she was well endowed but damn!

"Eto, Naruto-kun... it's impolite to stare," she said.

"Oh! Sorry!" he said and quickly sat up.

She squeaked when she fully took notice that she was now sitting in his lap!... She could feel his friend poking her. He put his hands on her soft shoulders before leaning in for a sweet kiss, one she happily returned. She moaned in his mouth when his hands went from her shoulders down to her back and played with her bra strap.

"C-can I-uh, you know?" he mumbled.

Not trusting her voice she simply nodded and placed her hands on his shoulders. A few seconds of odd tugs and pulls when he finally unhooked it. She gulped when she felt her bra go lax against her, first the straps on her shoulders came down, then he grabbed hold of the whole thing and pulled it off. Naruto went slack jawed when her bare breasts were displayed for him.

"... Awesome," he said.

Hinata's brow twitched, "Naruto-kun! You do not refer to a woman's breasts as "Awesome"!" she scolded him.

"Bu-but they are!" he whined and in a show of confidence cupped one.

She gasped as his warm hand came into contact with her mound of flesh, "St-still! You use a much more proper term! Beautiful, lovely or im-immaculate!"

He seemed to be ignoring her as he leaned closer to her chest and buried his head in her cleavage. She gasped when she felt him plant kisses over them and her hands flew up to bury themselves in his hair. She bit her lip to keep from screaming when her left nipple was taken into his mouth.

"Na-Naru-to-kun!" she moaned.

He stopped his delightful actions and moved up to her neck. Hinata pushed him down and took off his shirt so that they were on equal footing.

"Someone likes to work out I see," she giggled.

A nevous chuckle escaped him when she showed another sign of un-Hinata like conduct. When her hands reached for the waistband of his pants he started to freak and did the only thing he could think of, he reached for her's. They looked eachother in the eyes and froze... what now?

"M-maybe we should-uh, stand up?" he suggested.

"R-right...," she mumbled.

First allowing Hinata to stand up he followed after. They both suddenly forgot how pants work, Hinata kept dipping her thumbs into the waistband of her's while Naruto kept un-doing then re-doing the button on his. Naruto let out a short breath before un-buttoning his and letting them drop so he was in his black boxers. Hinata gulped and started to pull down her own, but before she pulled them completely off she made sure to hook her panties too. He blushed even darker, if that was possible, as she stood before him completely bare. He stepped up to her and kissed her, she wrapped her arms around his neck as they backed towards the bed again.

This time when they fell to the bed Naruto was on top. As he backed away from the kiss he was able to kick off his boxers and Hinata could feel him twitch against her thigh. He looked down then looked back up towards her, she nodded and scooted a bit closer to her. She didn't look down, she knew that if she did she would either be disappointed- as unlikely as it was- or be scared at his size.

"Um- Hinata-chan... are there any condoms I can get around here?" he asked with a blush.

Again she nodded and pointed to the nightstand, too embarassed to tell him she had prepared for this evening. As he started to reach for the drawer she stopped him and he looked back into her eyes.

"... Please, Naruto-kun. Grant me this one selfish request... I want to feel you, all of you. I don't want something- even something as thin as a condom to get in the way... not for our first time," she told him.

He nodded and put his hands on either side of her head. He leaned down to kiss her again as he started to push inside of her. She groaned against his lips as he slowly inched his in until he was buried all the way. He pulled back in shock.

"Hinata-chan are you a virgin?" he asked.

"O-of course I am!" she nearly yelled at him.

"Then where was your- jeez what was it called?- your uh- your hymen!" he asked.

"Broken during Kunoichi training," she blushed.

"Oh! Wow I'm sorry," he said, "just, from all the things I've heard and a few of the books I've read..."

"I understand, Naruto-kun," she smiled at him.

"So... do I keep going? Or is the mood officially killed?" he asked.

"No, no keep going," she said.

He nodded and started to rock their bodies together. The gentle and smooth rythm allowed Hinata to wrap her legs around his waist and arms around his neck. Barely ten minutes in and she felt her orgasm coming on, judging by the way Naruto's thrust became just a sight more forceful indicated he was not far off either. He buried his head into her neck and she tightened her hold on him as she squeezed her eyes shut. His hands fisted the blanket tightly and he groaned when he felt Hinata tighten around him.

"Hi-Hinata-chan I'm-

"Go ahead Naruto-kun," she cut him off.

Hinata gasped at the feeling when coupled with the last waves of her own orgasm. She felt Naruto go lax in her embrace and giggled. Lovingly she stroked his hair and back before he untangled himself and fell to her side. She quickly cuddled up to him before sleep took both of them.

The next morning she woke up before him. She smiled at his innocent face as the morning sun shone in from her window. She giggled when a beam of sunlight landed on his eye and he scrunched up his face.

"Mmn, good morning," he yawned.

"Morning," she smiled.

"So last night was-

"Yeah," she cut him off.

He smiled at her then kissed her forehead.

"I think I should go before someone sees us," he said.

"Good idea," she giggled.

He made a cute whining noise as he left the warm embrace of her bed. He easily found his boxers but was having the hardest time finding his pants.

"Neechan! Time to wake up!" Hanabi's voice rang out.

"Yes, come dear, breakfast is ready," that was her father!

Naruto made a mad dash for his shirt but just before he could pick it up the door slid open. Hiashi and Hanabi stood there with equally shocked faces. Naruto clad only in his boxers and Hinata covering herself with her blanket... this was not an appropriate sight.

"What the hell did you do to my sister/daughter?!" both Hyuugas yelled at him.

Naruto shrieked and jumped out the window, "See you later Hinata-chan! Let's go get dinner tomorrow!"

"Yeah you better run!" Hanabi yelled after him.

Hiashi looked down at his youngest daughter... that was an odd outburst from the normally calm girl. He looked back towards Hinata to see her hold the blanket closer and look everywhere but at them... it seems that the morning was to be filled with odd situations.

A month later Naruto was finally able to look Hiashi and Hanabi in the eyes again. Surprising everyone, Hiashi was the most accepting of the new level of intamacy... Hanabi still said she wanted to place a Juken strike in his dangly bits. His visits to the Hyuuga mansion became more frequent and soon Hanabi warmed up to him, occasionaly she would glare at him if he put his hands on Hinata, but he was okay with that. Hiashi didn't seem to mind when Naruto touched his daughter, all he really asked was that they refrain from quote "Mouth raping eachother" un-quote, while he was present.

Naruto had recently gotten back from a mission and had met up with Hinata. They walked down the streets of Konoha hand in hand enjoying the day. A few kids made kissy faces at them and Hinata had to restrain Naruto from attacking them.

"Little brats," he mumbled.

"Oh relax sweety,"she smiled at him.

He smiled back and they continued down the streets. Suddenly a giggle followed by a low chuckle came down the street and Naruto stopped. Hinata first looked at him, his jaw slightly clenched and his free hand forming a loose fist, she knew this look. The look of annoyance or jealousy. She looked forward to see Sasuke and Sakura hand in hand looking over things in a booth. Hinata watched until they walked out of sight before turning on Naruto.

"Ow!" he yelped as she hit his arm, "Ow! Ow- hey! Jeez what the hell are you do- Ow!"

Hinata hit him in the exact same spot on his arm making him recoil until he was on his haunches. Still she continued to hit him, alternating between his shoulder and bicep.

"Somebody help! Abusive relationship!" he begged. "Oh come on- Ow! What the hell?!"

She twisted his ear and started to drag him off. The citizens looked on in amusment, who would've figured Hyuuga Hinata would have ever turned out this strong. Of course all of Naruto's thrashing made the scene much more enjoyable.

"I can't believe you!" Hinata yelled at him.

She had dragged him to her favorite park and set him down in front of a tree. Naruto sat there looking like a child being scolded by their parent.

"It's done Naruto! Sasuke-san and Sakura-chan are dating! You're with me!" she had been yelling at him for close to five minutes, "If this is really how you're going to act! Being all happy with me but the minute you see them together you go all jealous ass, then why are doing this? How do I know you didn't ask me out because Sakura wasn't an option anymore?!"

"Hinata-chan I-

"No! You know what Naruto? You have to make a choice right now! Me or her?!" she cut him off.

When he didn't answer she huffed and walked away. He sat there and watched until she was out of sight.

'Way to go Naruto.' He thought.

He started playing with a piece of grass as he started to think. True, what he did back there was totally uncalled for... but how could Hinata even think that?! When she asked him on their first date why he asked her out he told he had been meaing to do so for a good two years. A girl says that she loves you the least you can do is take her out, see if there's anything there. He looked up at the tree and let out an amushed breath.

"Hey, Hinata-chan!"

"Yes, Naruto-kun?"

She looked up at him on the third branch of the tree. He took out a kunai and started carving something on the tree. When he was done she jumped up next to him. There on the bark were their names surrounded in a heart.

"That is so corny," she said.

"Don't you like it?" he asked.

"Of course I do," she smiled.

He sighed and stood up. He had made his choice.

Hinata sat on her bed still fuming over what had happened two hours ago. She was pretty sure some of the servants were scared of her now, she had yelled, not politely asked as she usually did, for them to get out of the way. She had even made her father recoil against the wall in her passing.

"Can't believe- that little! Urrrgh!" she growled.

A tapping at her window made her look up. She huffed as she stood up to open it.

"Oh, what do you want?" she asked.

"I deserved that," Naruto mumbled, "May I come in?"

"No," simple.

She stepped back from the window and crossed her arms.

"I want to apologize," he started, "I was jealous of Sasuke and Sakura... but, the thought that you would leave me because I was jealous of them breaks my heart. I know that it may take some time for you to forgive me but, just know that when it comes to either you or Sakura... it will always be you."

She wanted to hug him, wanted to kiss him, wanted to drag him into her room and take him around the freakin' world. She decided to play it cool and nodded, let him stew for a bit.

"Good... now if you would be so kind as to leave, I'm tired," she said.

He slanted his eyes then sighed before jumping off. Of course, he missed the smirk on Hinata's lips.

One month later...

The two had made up almost instantly... about a week. Now they were almost inseperable, most times Hinata stayed over at Naruto's, one of those times being now. They had just finished making love and were basking the warm afterglow. Naruto was on his side with an arm wrapped around Hinata while she was in her usual place snuggled into his chest. A content smile on both of their faces.

"Naruto-kun?" she asked.

"Yes, Hinata-chan?" he replied.

She leaned back to look in his eyes and gulped, "I love you."

Naruto's eyes widened for a split second before resuming their half lidded appearance. He smiled at her, "I love you too."

Two months later...

Naruto was getting ready for a mission while Hinata looked on worried. It was his first official solo S-rank mission... he was strong but- still. He didn't seem worried at all which, when she thought about it, was good. She could do the worrying for him. She started playing with her ponytail, a nervous habit to replace her finger bit. When her fingers came into contact with her hairbands she got an idea. While his back was turned she quickly undid her ponytail and stood up with her lavender hairbands in hand. She tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around.

"Here," she said and presented the bands.

"Wait, aren't these your hairbands?" he asked.

"They'll bring you luck," she smiled.

He smiled back and happily took them before putting them both on his left forearm. He quickly took her in for a hug and kissed her.

"Don't worry, once I get back I'll take you on the biggest, bestest most romantic date ever!" he smiled.

"I'll hold you to that," she said.

One month later...

It was their day off and they decided to spend it being lazy. Shutting themselves off from the world in his apartment and stayed in his bedroom, only leaving for the bathroom or for food. Naruto remained facedown on his bed while Hinata busied herself with something as she sat on his back. Whatever she was doing it must have been serious because he had felt her activate her Byakugan.

"There we go just one moooore and done," she said, "alright, up up."

He groaned but did as she said. When he sat up she was sitting opposite of him and holding out his flak jacket; his eyes instantly zoned in on the new patch on the neck guard.

"Is that a rabbit?" he asked.

She held his flak jacket close to her chest before fixing him the hardest glare he had ever seen, well, from her.

"It's a bunny," she said darkly.

"O-of course it is! Heh heh, that's what I meant to say," he chuckled nervously.

She closed her eyes and grinned at him.

Three months later...

Dusk, her favorite time of the day. Not quite night but still far from day... perfect. The nice warm glow of the now orange sun washing over her and Naruto, who was lying down in her lap. After spending the whole day together, after he got back from his mission that is, they made one last stop at her favorite park. She would run her fingers through his hair every now and again in a comforting gesture.

"Hey, Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked.

"Yes? What is it, Naruto-kun?" she replied.

"What's your favorite type of jutsu?" he asked.

"Hmm, an odd question... but, if I had to choose I'd say... fire jutsu," she said.

"So," he sat up from her lap, "Hina-chan's a pyro is she?"

"What?! No- I-

"Heheh, just messin' with ya," he smiled, "So, what's your favorite fire jutsu?"

"The fireball jutsu, that one Sasuke-san always used," she said. "Why...?

"Oh no reason just curious," he smirked.

"Then what's your favorite jutsu?" she asked.

"The Rasengan, obviously," he said.

She bit her lip when he said that. He started to lower himself back down but she moved her legs and started walking away.

"H-hey! I was comfortable!" he whined at her retreating form.

He flopped down onto the grass and sighed. She had been doing this a lot lately, just leaving him alone for no reason... maybe it was her- ahem- time of the month. He looked up at the sky and nodded before standing up. Quickly he started towards the Uchiha compound, if he was going to surprise her he needed a good teacher. He found Sasuke sitting on a bench, most likely enjoying the end of the day too.

"Yo, Sasuke!" he smiled.

"Hm? Oh, what's going on Naruto?" Sasuke asked and stood up.

"I was wondering if you could help me with something?" Naruto asked.

"Of course, I'd be glad to help friend," Sasuke said with a light smile.

"Awesome! So, can you teach me your fireball jutsu?" he asked.

"You know I can't use chakra anymore," Sasuke almost glared at him.

"I know, I know! Just, show me the handsigns and explain it... maybe give me some pointers if I'm doing it wrong?" Naruto tried.

"... Why?" Sasuke asked, surely there had to be a reason.

Naruto couldn't very well tell Sasuke that he needed his help to surprise his girlfriend!

"Well, I'm a Jounin... have been one for little over a year now. All I got is my Rasengan, Kage Bunshin and like, two wind jutsu. I figured it would be good to have an extra element in there, and you're the only person I know who understands fire jutsu so well... so I thought, ya know?" Naruto explained.

Sasuke nodded, he could see where Naruto was coming from, "Very well, follow me."

Naruto smirked and did as he was told. Sasuke led them to the dock where his father had taught him before turning to look at Naruto.

"Now, the thing you have to remember here is: unlike most of your jutsu that expel the chakra outwards, you must knead the chakra inside your body and convert it to fire. It is actually a lot easier than it sounds, do the correct handsigns and it should take on the fire itself. Once gathered you expel it from your mouth, depending on how you wish to use this jutsu it can either be a constant flame thrower or as a large orb of roaring fire... got it?" Sasuke asked.

"Got it," Naruto nodded.

"Good, now the handsigns are: snake, horse, tiger," he said.

"Right, snake, horse, tiger," Naruto repeated.

The blond man stepped up to the edge of the dock and did the corresponding signs. He took in a deep breath through his nose as he felt the chakra in his breast.

'Katon: Gokakyu no jutsu!' Naruto thought.

When he breathed out a small lick of fire escaped his lips. Sasuke made a high whistle that quickly dropped to low before making a crude explosion noise. Naruto glared at him with his brow twitching. He turned around and went through the handsigns again, and just like last time a small lick of fire... but slightly bigger this time. Sasuke watched on as Naruto tried and tried again, each time the fire would increase in size until it seemed to stop at a small gout of flame.

"I think that's enough Naruto, maybe you just weren't meant to use fire jutsu," Sasuke tried.

"No way! I'll get it! Just you watch!" Naruto defended.

Sasuke sighed and after giving Naruto a few tips walked away. Naruto was so focused on getting the jutsu down he barely noticed that Sasuke had left. At one point during the night he passed out but woke up an hour later and continued with the jutsu. It was near sunrise and after using a few of the soldier pills he always kept in his kunai pouch he kept going.

"So, how's it coming along, Naruto?" Sasuke asked as he stepped onto the dock. "Have you realized that fire jutsu are out of your reach?"

Naruto smirked and went through the handsigns before letting out an orb of fire the size of a house. He turned towards Sasuke and smirked.

"So?" he teased.

"Well I-

"Silence," he cut him off.

Sasuke hung his head as Naruto laughed. When he picked his head up again he was smirking.

"You know, Naruto. If you want I have a few scrolls on fire jutsu, they're just going to sit there collecting dust for who knows how long... if you want them, they're yours," Sasuke offered.

"Sure, let's go get em'!" he smiled.

Sasuke nodded and they started walking down the path back to his house. As they made their way there Naruto playfully jabbed Sasuke in the ribs.

"So, I hear that Sakura sometimes leaves your house early in the morning huh?" he teased.

"..." Sasuke kept quiet but the blush on his face said it all.

"Haha! So you two doin' the horizontal monster mash? The dance with no pants? Doing bad things to eachother? Givin' her the ol' meat injection? Maybe playing a game of bedroom go-

"Enough!... it's not like that! We make out then she either sleeps on the couch or I sleep on the couch... that's it," Sasuke cut him off.

"What?! You two have been dating for two almost three years and all you do is make out?!" Naruto asked in shock.

"You're one to talk!... Wait are you?" Sasuke asked.

"Well yeah. I'll have you know I had sex last year and since then I've been having sex three or four times a week on average," Naruto said matter of factly.

"Th-three or four times... a week?!" Sasuke asked shocked.

Naruto gave him the victory sign and they continued on the path to Sasuke's. The first thing Naruto noticed when he stepped in was Sakura cuddled up on the couch watching something on the T.V.. An evil smile made its way onto Naruto's face as he quickly ducked out of sight. Silently he crepped up behind the couch and as Sakura turned to greet Sasuke whispered in her ear.

"I'm watching you."

She shrieked and punched Naruto into the wall. He groaned as he slid down.

"I'm hurt now," he whimpered.

"N-Naruto?!... Oh! I'm so sorry here let me help you!" she quickly apologized.

She quickly ran over and started healing the small bruise on Naruto's cheek before helping him up.

"You should know better than to scare me like that!" she scolded him.

"You didn't have to punch so hard," he fake sniffled.

Sakura giggled and gave him a hug, "So, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, Sasuke taught me how to use the fireball jutsu and now he's giving me some scrolls on other fire jutsu," he explained.

Sasuke walked back into the room with two different scrolls, "Here you go, some of these are pretty advanced but, knowing you that shouldn't be a problem."

"Heh, alright thanks Sasuke. It was good seeing you again Sakura, but I gotta go... the three of us should catch up sometime ya know? Like the old days," he smiled and walked out the door.

"That was strange," Sakura said.

"Naruto's having sex," Sasuke blurt out.

"Wh-WHAT?!" Sakura yelled, "WITH WHO?!"

"No idea, but they're doing it... like a lot!"

A week later he found Hinata and dragged her to an open space in her favorite park.

"I have a surprise for you," he smiled.

"Really? What kind of surprise... can I wear it?" she asked.

"I wouldn't recommend it," he shrugged, "Now, just watch."

She nodded and sat down on the grass. Naruto went through the handsigns and shot a stream of flames directly up before making shaped like a heart.

"See, I learned your favorite jutsu!" he smiled.

"And went the extra mile to make it cheesy with the heart," she giggled.

"You know you love it," he teased.

"Indeed I do," she said and stood up.

They embraced and kissed, "I love you." they said at the same time.

Four months later...

Naruto was walking towards the Hyuuga mansion to see Hinata and have a discussion with Hiashi. As he walked inside he was instantly set on by Hanabi.

"Naruto-kun!" she cheered.

"Well hey there firecracker!" he smiled.

"Hello, Naruto-kun," Hinata said as she walked up to him.

"Hello, my love," he smiled and kissed her.

"Ah, Naruto-kun. How good to see you," Hiashi said.

"Hiashi-sama," Naruto bowed, "I would actually like to have a talk with you."

"Of course, come, we'll talk and have some tea," Hiashi said.

He lead them to the common area where they all sat down before a servant brought the tea. Pouring a cup for everyone Naruto let out a breath before looking Hiashi in the eyes.

"So, what is it you wish to discuss?" Hiashi asked.

"It's about your daughter," he said.

"My daughter?" Hiashi asked.

"Yes, Hinata... Now, I don't say this to be rude or make you feel bad, but as fact. You have neglected Hinata in the past, while you have more than made up for it in recent years that damage has been done. I know that by tradition you will not have to brand her with the seal but, I assume that the Hyuuga elders saw such an occurence and have most likely developed some kind of variant," Naruto began.

"Indeed they have," Hiashi said sadly.

"Hanabi will most likely take up the mantle as Hyuuga clan head, seeing as how Hinata does have knowledge of inner clan workings but not as much as Hanabi. No one wants to think about Hinata's fate... and I believe I have come up with a solution," Naruto continued.

"Forgive me, Naruto-kun, but, if I- the father and current clan head- have not figured something out. What makes you think you have?" Hiashi asked.

"That's just it, you've come at this problem from every angle as her father and the clan head. What I propose is something that most likely never crossed your mind. What if Hinata were to marry outside the clan? Effectively giving up any legitimate claims to the Hyuuga head position?" Naruto suggested.

"Perhaps but-

"I know, what about potential children? I thought about that too. At first it would most likely be a big issue, Hyuuga clan members with the Byakugan then her children of a non-Hyuuga father running around too. I figure that as the years went on the bloodline would become so watered down that it would be unheard of for anyone from those children to possess it," Naruto cut him off.

"Yes... yes! I did not even think of that! I can reason with the clan elders to see that point of view! Hinata can be safe so long as she willingly signs away any and all claims to the head position in front of them! Of course! Naruto-kun...
good job," Hiashi said.

"Thank you... which brings me to my next issue. Hyuuga Hiashi, I come before you to humbly ask for your daughter's hand in marriage!" Naruto said.

"I gladly give it!" Hiashi smiled.

"So what do you say Hinata? Wanna get married to this guy?" he asked smiling.

"Yes! Yes yes, a million times yes!" she squealed and hugged him.

"I want in on this hug too!" Hanabi cheered.

"Wonderful wonderful!" Hiashi laughed, "How shall we do this?"

"Well, in all my experience with women- which is almost non-existent- they've usually been planning their wedding day for the longest time... am I right Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked.

"Yes," she blushed.

"And in this fantasy wedding was it a small ceremony with like four people or a huge ceremony with a bunch of people?" he teased.

"Not just a huge ceremony, a ceremony so big that it takes up half the village!" Hinata said as she pumped her fist.

"Um...? I don't think we can do that Hinata-chan," Naruto chuckled.

"Okay fine!" she pouted, "Then how about an above average ceremony? We'll invite everyone we know! Tsunade-sama will marry us and, and and-

"Alright calm down," he said, "... I'm no good with this kind of stuff but, I'll do whatever you tell me to okay?"

She nodded then her and Hanabi dashed down the hall to her room. Naruto and Hiashi stared after them with confused faces.

"Girls are weird," he said.

"No kidding," Hiashi said.

Two months later...

Hinata figured that since they were about to be married she might as well get this out of the way now. She knocked on the Hokage's door and when given permission entered.

"Hm? Oh Hinata? What can I do for you?" Tsunade asked.

"Hello Tsunade-sama, I was hoping you could make a small change onto my ninja record?" Hinata asked.

"Is it something serious? Like a disease or a crippling condition?" Tsunade asked.

"No no, I just wish to add someone to the contact list should the worst come to fall and I'm listed as K.I.A.," she replied.

"Pretty serious, but okay give me a minute," Tsunade said.

She reached into a drawer in her desk and after five minutes of digging around came back up. She put Hinata's ninja registry on her desk before pulling out a pen.

"Okay, so, who do wish added?" Tsunade asked.

"My fiance, Uzumaki Naruto," she said.

Tsunade went to make the changes but stopped and quickly looked up, "Wait, what?"

"I'm sorry, which part of that was confusing?" Hinata asked.

"Your fiance?... You two are getting married?!" Tsunade all but yelled.

"Y-yes... we've yet to send out the invitations but-

"How long have you been engaged?!" Tsunade cut her off.

"About two months now," Hinata said and started to back away.

"Two months?! And not once you couldn't come in and tell me?!" at this point Tsunade was red in the face.

"We were gonna but..." Hinata tried.

"... Whatever, just let me sign this and you can go," Tsunade sighed, "... and when you see Naruto tell him to come see me."

One month later...

Naruto had been summoned to the Hokage's office. Of course he protested seeing as how it was his day off but, he knew now that it was unwise to annoy Tsunade. The only thing he was looking forward too was Hinata coming back from her mission in about four or five days. He didn't even bother with knocking and just simply entered the office.

"Hm? Oh hey Hiashi-sama," he smiled, "What're you doing here?"

"I assume it is the same reason you are here Naruto-kun," the Hyuuga lord said.

Tsunade entered her office and with a sigh sat down at her desk.

"Thank you two for coming," she started, "I wish it was for a better reason than this."

"Baa-chan? What's this all about?" Naruto asked.

"Today at 0800 hours Hyuuga Hinata's squad, led by Hatake Kakashi returned to the village. However, only three returned... Hyuuga Hinata was killed in action," Tsunade finished.

Naruto and Hiashi stood there as if they had been slapped in the face. Hinata was... dead?

"B-but how? I- I mean-

"I... can answer that," Kakashi said as he stepped in.

Naruto and Hiashi turned to give the silver haired man their full attention.

"To be honest I'm not one-hundred percent sure on the details but, we encountered some strong enemies. We were able to hold them off but Hinata got seperated. I went to look for her and when I found her she well...," Kakashi trailed off.

Hiashi stepped up, he knew what he was about to do was wrong. The situation at the moment called for what Naruto called his "clan mode" he would allow himself to mourn later.

"What of her eyes?... What of the Byakugan?!" he demanded.

"I wouldn't worry about that Hiashi-sama... too many pieces," Kakashi answered.

Naruto braced himself on his knees, he felt sick to his stomach.

'Too many pieces?' Naruto thought.

"He did however recover this," Tsunade pulled out Hinata's headband and slid it across the desk.

Naruto walked up and picked up the headband. A sad smile came upon his face, indeed it was her's... there was that little swirl he had sewn into it.

"Here," he handed the object to Hiashi, "I already have mementos from her... you deserve this more than I."

"Thank you, Naruto-kun," Hiashi bowed.

"Is that it, Tsunade-sama?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm sorry Naru-

"No... sorry, I gotta go," Naruto cut her off.

Not bothering to take the stairs he simply jumped from the window. Kakashi looked on after his student and sighed before taking off after him. He followed him all the way into a park, then well into a secluded area within. Naruto had stopped and simply stood there staring off into nothing.

"Kakashi-sensei?" he asked as the Jounin landed behind him.

"Yes, Naruto?" Kakashi asked.

"Do you think... think that anyone could have saved her?" he asked.

"No one who was in the squad at the time... and only two people I know of," Kakashi answered.

Naruto nodded, he knew that Kakashi was referring to Gai and Lee with their respective Gates activated.

"... I do however, know of a jutsu that could compensate for the Gates," Kakashi said.

"R-really?!" Naruto asked clearly excited.

Kakashi walked up to his former student and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Have you heard of the Hiraishin?" he asked.

"That was the jutsu that my father used right?" Naruto asked.

"Yes... if I knew how to use the seal on this kunai," he produced a weathered tri tipped kunai, "I could've had a slim chance."

Naruto picked up the kunai and held it in his hands.

"This jutsu... could have saved her?" Naruto asked.

"Maybe... if I had seen her," Kakashi explained.

Naruto tightened his hands around the kunai and started crying. He dropped to his knees with Kakashi by his side... it was in that moment, that moment of loss. He vowed to make sure nothing like this ever happened again.

... Yeah, there ya go. While I know it seemed I rushed a few areas I wasn't about to sit down and describe their entire relationship all the way through to those points ya know? I truly felt bad writing this last bit... its not even that sad (in my opinion) but I never enjoy killing off a main character.

To make something clear with the fireball jutsu, I went to the Naruto wiki (NEEEERD!) and there were like four different ways to use it so I just added snake and used the first two seals we ever get to see it used with.

So, long chapter or what?!... anyway stay tuned.
