Shadowgirl608: Thank you very much...and spoiler: Naruto and Hanabi get away with it :)

Guest Becca-boo: Thank you for pointing it out and reviewing. I appreciate it.

Kavya: Here you go, as promised I'll update once a week. Also thank you so much. And a little fluff in this one, hope you'll like it.

Ayrmed: She didn't but clearly she doesn't know Hanabi's knack for pranks. Thanks for reviewing.

Flameraven1: Great... I didn't even think of that yet - and the story if already written. But I guess I'll have to write a part about Sakura and Kankuro (kind of forgot the whole 'trained by Tsunade thing' over the Doujutsu problem), but I'll fix that. I think knocking anyone up, would not be a good strategy, and I have been thinking about a trade, but like you said that leaves the other villages out, so... there goes that solution. Other than that, thank you so much for your opinion and ideas.

no-maybee-okay: Updates once a week. Thanks for looking forward to the chapters :)

Redsox31: So true, Konoha would not be standing anymore with those two. Fine, I'll give up on the dance... Thanks for reviewing.

Chewie Cookies: Once again thank you for your help. But that's a difference I get. If I made a mistake there then it's because I suck at typing... Thanks also for your praise, good to know I don't entirely suck at English.

"Naruto!" The sternness of her voice got lost between the giggling and the moans his actions were causing her.

"What is it? We are home, aren't we? Finally no interruption." He looked up from his current task of placing butterfly kisses on her stomach to catch her eyes glazed over with pleasure.

"Yes, but did you really had to place a Hiraishin seal on our bed?" Her finger tangled in his hair and shivers ran down his spine. Every single time she touched him, his body reacted to her, towards her, made him feel pleasantly warm inside.

Hinata sighed contently when Naruto ran his fingers up her side. It had been a surprise to find herself in their apartment or more precise in their bed, only mere seconds after saying goodbye to her sister and the rest of their friends in Suna. But it certainly wasn't a bad surprise, not at all in fact. Of the many Seals Naruto had placed everywhere, this might just be her favorite one.

"I'm surprised you didn't Hiraishin'd us into Ichiraku's." Her fingers brushed over his neck and disappeared inside his shirt.

"Old man Teuchi forbid me to after I almost gave Ayame a heart attack once. I placed it outside instead." He told her abstinently, every sense of him concentrating on where her fingers touched him.

She arched into him when his teeth nibbled on her earlobe. Her breathing accelerated more when Naruto's mouth attacked her neck. Naruto felt her body react to him, he loved how her figure pressed into him.

"You should at least let Shikamaru and Kakashi know we are back, you are the Hokage after all." She forced the reasonable sentence past her lips brokenly; it was hard to tell him to stop, when she didn't really want him to. And with all the things he was doing to her, it was even harder to from a coherent sentence. "N-Naruto!"

"I promise it's the first thing I'll do after this." He mumbled unwilling to let her go. The blue of his eyes seemed to intensify tenfold when he looked at her for a short moment that stole her breath. He made quick process of his shirt and it dropped to the floor.

Not even a second later tickled her collar bone, when her shirt followed his. Hinata loved watching the play of the muscles on his back. His body was hard against hers and Hinata gave in.

…

"Neji, relax please. You have been tense the whole week." Tenten tried to calm her boyfriend's nerve. "Everything will work out just fine." She reassured him. "You worry too much, Hinata and Naruto will be there tonight and I'm sure she'll go over the ceremony with you again."

Neji nodded with a grim look on his face, how Tenten was able to figure out he was nervous was still a mystery to him, he hadn't said anything at all. But his shoulders were so cramped he could barely move. This whole clan leader ceremony made him more uneasy than he had anticipated. Just now he started feeling the pressure of handling a clan on his shoulders, from tomorrow on every one of his actions would be measured and evaluated and half the time he would probably be busy with arguing with the elders. Gratefully he took the cup of tea Tenten shoved in his hand, when her hand brushed against his Neji felt a little calmer than before, so he reached out and held her smaller hand in his.

Smiling she leaned her head on his shoulders, who would have guessed how terrible anxious, oh-so-cool-and-composed Neji Hyuga could get. The past week she had really only understood why Hinata demanded she got free from her duties in the Hokage's office. The preparations for Neji's inauguration had taken up most of her time. But quite to her liking and also a little to her surprise Neji was always making room for only the two of them. He took her out for dinner or to the hot springs so they could spent some time alone together away from the Hyuga compound.

Tenten was glad that Naruto had told her, while he wasn't in the office, she didn't have to be either. It was kind of funny how things worked out, only a few months ago she couldn't even imagine giving up her ninja lifestyle but now…

When Naruto had taken over the Kage's office everyone had just assumed he would be completely overwhelmed with all of the paperwork and mess things more up than Tsunade ever had. But he wasn't called the number one ninja in surprising people for nothing. Only one day after the inauguration ceremony he had sought out Tenten and asked her to teach him some quick sealing techniques so that he could get the chaos in order, and of course she had agreed to help him. It took both of them about a week to work out a system and seal all paperwork in different scrolls depending on the urgency and the topics. After they were done Naruto had asked her to stay as his personal assistant.

At first Tenten had refused saying that she wanted to stay out in the field; she was only in her mid-twenties after all. But the more she starting to think about it the more appealing the offer got. She would have a save job, good payment and regular working hours, besides all of that Neji would be very happy if she quit her active work. He obviously did not like the thought of his girlfriend in constant danger when she was on missions. Tenten had taken quite some time thinking about the pro's and con's before she asked Naruto if his job offer was still standing.

Currently she did not only hold the title of the Hokage's personal assistant but was also responsible for Konoha's weapon supplies and their new inventions. Tenten truly did love her new challenges.

Usually it was the assistant's job to accompany the Hokage to foreign countries but Hinata was clearly the better choice in this case. Either way Tenten was glad that Naruto didn't need her on this journey, since she wouldn't have liked to leave Neji behind in his current nervous state. Initially Tenten had planned to watch over the village's paperwork during his absence and look after Shikamaru and Kakashi but the organization of Neji's ceremony had taken up more time than expected.

The house was bumming and everyone was busing preparing for a huge feast. It was the first time something like this happened inside the Hyuga clan. Not only was Neji a former side-branch member but he also was the first clan head to be voted democratically.

…

Kiba raised an interested eyebrow at the panicking attempts of his girlfriend to fluffy the already fluffy pillow even more. "Hot stuff, are you sure everything is alright?"

"Perfectly fine, I don't know why you keep asking." Nervously she glanced at the mirror to check if her bun was still in place.

"Well, for starters you have a bun! A bun - like a conservative, old school top-knot - o in red. And for the past week you have been cleaning our house from the inside out every single day. You have tried to cook something and almost burned down our kitchen and you changed your outfit five times in the last hour." He started counting while moving behind her. "Don't worry so much, you look amazing. Or are you really that worried that I will embarrass you in front of your ex-teammates?"

"No! Of course not, it's just that this is the first time they will visit me and I want to impress them." She leaned back against his broad shoulders. "They never liked me staying here in Konoha very much. But it's been working out so well, for so many years they have stopped trying to convince me to go back. It's just that I want to make this a success."

"Don't worry I'll charm their pants off of them!" He kissed her temple.

"I'd actually prefer if you wouldn't." She mumbled barely audible and for a second Kiba thought she looked a little troubled.

"What did you say?" Despite his great hearing her quickly muttered words had slipped his attention.

"Nothing important." Anxiously she fingered her hair, to ensure not a lock had fallen out.

Kiba's more primal senses awakened as she turned to face him and her scent tainted the air around them. His eyes darkened as he regarded her black corset, and his hands found their way to her hips. He gripped her hard and pulled her closer so she crashed against his chest. Kiba grinned wolfishly when his hand drifted down to caress her perfect ass. "So how much time do you think…"

Karui pushed against him softly and put in some distance between them. "Not enough, they should be here any minute now."

He groaned at that and she couldn't help but feel a pleasant shiver run through her body, knowing he still wanted her that much.

The doorbell announced the guest they have been expecting and as she brushed past him she whispered slowly in his ears. A very satisfied and anticipating, very feral smirk overtook his features and he strolled after her with his eyes fixated on her glorious backside.

"Samui, Omoi!" Karui pulled her two former teammates in a hug. "I'm so glad to see you!"

Kiba extended his hand and gave Omoi a strong shake. After Karui was done hogging Samui, Kiba gave the busty blonde a flirty smile. "It's very nice to meet you."

The frown on Samui's face was replaced by a forced smile. "Thank you very much. It's also nice to finally meet you."

Man, that's gonna take some effort. Kiba thought frowning. He would really hate it, if Karui's precious teammates hated him.

"You look very beautiful." He complimented and made sure not to let his eyes stray anywhere but her face.

Samui shifted lightly, but seemed to appreciate his admiring comment very much. "Thank you very much, Kiba-san."

He gave her another dazzling smile. "Please I couldn't bear such formality coming from such a stunning woman. Kiba will be sufficient."

Samui looked slightly flattered, but still suspicious. "Kiba it is then."

Proudly he looked over the Karui and found her staring blankly at the floor. Then she looked at with a timid smile. At his questioning raised eyebrow she just shook her head.

"Damn you're good." Omoi whispered to him as they made their way into the living room.

No one could say that Kiba wasn't trying his best. He had spent the entire evening talking to Karui's former teammates, and he been attentive and nice and asked interested questions. He and Omoi had hit it off good; that guy was funny and Kiba and he didn't run out of stuff to talk about.

Samui was another matter. Kiba had a hard time to get through to her. It had taken him quite some charming words and some cups of sake but in the end she had to surrender to his charisma.

"I'm telling you, Karui was such a cute little girl. And she totally disliked guys." Samui leaned over the table, her huge rack pressed flat against the wood.

Kiba smiled brightly at her words. He really wanted to know all about Karui and this was a golden opportunity, he just needed to be careful or else his girlfriend would catch on and stop his inquisition. He only slipped in the occasional question about Karui while enquiring her teammates about themselves.

"I didn't have a problem with guys. As long as they are not perverts like you, Omoi." Samui poked her teammate in the ribs.

"Oi, I resent that." The dark skinned man opposed.

Kiba laughed. "I bet you didn't have trouble with men." He winked at the blonde and she smiled back at him.

Karui started to put the dishes together with a loud thud. "Sorry." She apologized uncomfortable. After declining Kiba's offer to help she made her way to the kitchen. She came back a few minutes later, but didn't sit back down.

Kiba wasn't sure exactly what it was but Karui seemed very agitated. Her hands shook slightly as she held her glass and he shot her a worried glance which she didn't see.

"Well, I'll bring out dessert then." She smiled a fake smile and proceeded to the kitchen.

"I'll help you." Kiba was in the process of getting up when his girlfriend stopped in the doorframe.

"No that's fine. I'll manage." She declined his offer again and instead gestured for him to sit down.

The red head practically ran into the kitchen, desperate to get away from the dining room. When she finally reached her destination Karui took a deep breath and gripped the counter so hard her knuckles turned white. It was ridiculous and she should not be behaving like a sixteen year old virgin but something about this evening made her uneasy and old suppressed memories came back up.

A small little yelp made her look up.

"Igi?" She bent down to pick up the cute little puppy and held her in her arms. "You could sense wasn't feeling so good? You're such a good girl!" She whispered into her dog's ear.

"How did you get in here? Wasn't Akamaru supposed to watch you in the garden?" She wondered a little louder.

A low bark from the open window drew her attention to the large white dog, which did not look even a little bit guilty about letting his small protégée escape from his watch.

"Ah, that's what's taking you so long." Kiba's voice interrupted her giggling. "Akamaru weren't you supposed to make sure Igi stays out of the house until our guests are gone?"

A happy bark was his answer and Kiba took Igi from Karui to hand her over to his teammate who took the little one carefully by the neck. Together they trotted back to the giant dog house.

"Hey Karui, is everything alright?" His voice was unusual soft and he carefully put a loose strand that had escaped her perfectly shaped bun behind her ear.

"Everything's fine I'm just a little on edge I guess." She took a step back and he didn't like the distance she put between them one bit.

Kiba frowned at her. "I know that this is not the whole story. So will you please tell me, hot stuff?"

Small, dainty hands trembled slightly. "It's nothing really."

Kiba took one step towards her and pulled the hair pins out of her lush red locks, causing it to fall down her bare shoulders like waterfalls.

"I like it open." He murmured against her ear shell, making his deep voice resonate throughout her whole body and her breath hitched in her throat.

His forehead leaned against hers and the look in his eyes turned serious again. "This conversation is not over. Something is bothering you and we'll talk about it later."

With that he picked up the plates and left the kitchen.

…

The mirror showed long deep red hair, intense golden eyes, a cute button nose, soft chocolate skin and high cheekbones. She had thrown on one of Kiba's oversized tees and simple red panties underneath. Karui grimaced at her reflection and turned away to throw herself into their big bed.

"So, Igi and Akamaru are fast asleep in the living room." Kiba flopped down next to her after disregarding his pants and his t-shirt.

Karui turned the light switch off. "Good night, then."

"Oh, I don't think so." Her boyfriend switched the light right back on. "There's still something we need to talk about."

Karui had really thought or more like hoped he had forgotten about it.

"It was really nothing, Kiba." She turned on her back and stared at the ceiling.

"Yeah, right." He snorted and propped on his arm to look at her.

Her heart was beating loudly in her ears and she flushed with embarrassment. She was being ridiculous and the thought of telling Kiba was humiliating.

"Hot stuff, what's wrong?" This time his voice was laced with concern. He caressed her cheek and glanced at her golden eyes.

"It's so embarrassing." She whispered. Suddenly she turned to him and buried her face in his chest.

"What are you talking about? You can tell me anything." Kiba stoke her hair, seriously worried about her.

He had never seen her like this and it did not sit well with him that she refused to confine in him.

"You have to promise not to look at me." She kept her face hidden in his chest.

She drew a deep breath making goose-bumps appear all over his body. He really hoped she would spill the beans soon, because the promise she made to him before her damn teammates had to interrupt, kept replaying in his mind.

"It's kind of stupid. You know it just that…" She had really no idea how to put it in words. "Ok, I really love Samui you know, but she's just very…. Every guy I liked was always into her because of her - you know. And I guess that I feel kind of inferior to her and…"

Kiba could hardly believe what she was saying, He had never seen her insecure. She was normally confident and very aware of how incredible hot she was. He frowned, Hinata for example was also well endowed in the chest department but Karui had never felt uncomfortable around his former teammate, it had to be Samui.

He couldn't help himself, he started laughing in her hair. It started out softly but soon he was shaking.

Outraged she jerked her head back, "You ass! I'm spilling my soul to you and you laugh at me!" She started hitting against his chest, which lost quite a lot of impact due to her close proximity.

"Calm down." He snatched her hands and pulled her closer. "His laughter died quickly when he noticed the tears prickling in her beautiful eyes.

"I'm sorry, I swear. I didn't mean to laugh at you." He caught her eyes with his gaze. "But Karui, it's not like she has anything on you." He rolled his eyes. "I mean yeah sure her breast are like super-amazing and I'd totally go for that."

"Geez, thanks Kiba, I feel a lot better now."

"Come on, we both know I'm an ass-guy!" He wiggled an eyebrow at her. "Karui, seriously, you are the hottest woman I have ever met. I mean you practically scream sex. That girl may have a huge chest but she's really boring, you have to stare at her chest just to get rid of the boredom."

"You didn't seem bored. You and her seemed to be having a great time."

"Wait a second. Don't tell me you're jealous?" His eyes widen considerably. "You know I was just trying to impress your teammates. They are an important part of your life and I want them to accept us."

She smirked regardless of her itching need to cry. "You were worried they wouldn't like you?"

"Apparently I wasn't as worried as you were. Don't turn this around. This isn't about me."

"Well, it is a little hard to forget when guys ever only talked to you because they were into your teammate. And you know it's not easy having a flat chest as a woman!"

"Mmhh…Were those guys blind?" Kiba buried his head in her neck and kissed her collarbone. "But I guess that is my luck. Besides apart from her chest, the rest of her is only so-so. You are smoking and I'm crazy for every part of you."

"See now I know that you only say that because you want sex."

"I agree with the second part of that statement!"

She giggled as his fingers brushed the sensitive part of her ribs. She ran her fingers over his chiseled chest and he growled at her. His lips found her throat and a deep groan rocked through her body.

He looked down at her again. "Seriously Karui, I love you and ever since I've met you you're the only woman I ever thought about."

…

Naruto was in an incredibly good mood today, after getting back from Suna this morning, he had just spent the perfect past-morning with Hinata until she insisted on checking in and let people know they were back. It shouldn't take too long; after all, it had only been a week so the paperwork should not be too overwhelming. He glided up the stairs and opened the door to his office, and right there he froze.

. HELL!?

Had someone broke into his office? It looked trashed; papers were flooding his desk and half opened scrolls lying next to it… Kakashi and Shikamaru were so dead!

While he was plotting certain peoples deaths Naruto flopped down into his chair and let out a heavy sigh before digging himself into the paperwork. A good revenge needed time, and maybe just maybe he would consult Hanabi on this special matter, but for now there was nothing he could do but work it out himself.

…

Hinata took the cup of tea from her cousin's hands.

"Are you nervous?" She blew a soft puff on the steaming liquid.

Neji sighed. "I'm feeling better, Tenten talked to me. But yes I still am quite nervous."

"You don't have to be. You will be doing great tonight."

"I agree." The deep voice of Hiashi Hyuga filled the room. "You will do very well, son."

A small smile played around his lips at the compliment from the soon to be ex-Hyuga head.

"So Hinata, why did you ask to meet?" Her father joined her at the table.

The oldest daughter of the family squirmed uncomfortable; she would have very much preferred to let Hanabi tell them personally. "Neji, you may want to take a seat as well. This will most likely take some time." Besides that, I think you should better sit down to hear that.

Hinata set down her cup, "It seems that Hanabi started a relationship in Suna." She wasted no time and cut straight to the point.

Her father looked her sharply in the eyes while Neji remained silent.

"Is that so?" Hiashi's calm tone cut through the silence. There was a hard edge to his voice. "And who might that man be?"

"It would appear that the man Hanabi has chosen to be with… in a permanent relationship is…" Hinata bit her lips and fidgeted in her chair. "She's with the current Kazekage." She finally pressed out in one quick breath.

"Excuse me!" Neji shot up enraged. "Since when has this been going on?"

"Neji please calm down, it is a relatively new development. They have been seeing each other for the past two months."

His mouth opened and closed again. Two months? That was a long time, especially considering he and his uncle had visited Suna recently.

Wait a second! His eyes widen in realization.

…

"Are you used to Suna already, Hanabi?" Hiashi asked his daughter as they were strolling through Suna to get a small tour of the new place his daughter lived.

"Yes, finally. It took me some time but my sleeping patterns have adapted by now."

"It is a very beautiful town, indeed." Neji commented.

"Yes it is." She agreed enthusiastically. "Oh, well here we are. This is the Kazekage building and the embassy district is directly next to it."

In this moment Gaara appeared at the entrance. "My secretary let me know about your arrival. I welcome you to Suna. I do hope you will have a pleasant stay here."

"I am sure we will, Kazekage-sama." Hiashi bowed to the leader of Suna. "I would also hope you and your brother would join us for dinner. I am very much looking forward to hear more about your city and the progress regarding the diplomatic relationship between Suna and Konoha."

"Thank you very much for the invitation, Hiashi-sama. However I have to excuse my brother, he is on a mission at the moment. But I will take your generous invitation with delight."

Gaara nodded a greeting to Neji and fell into step with the Hyuga family.

"I am making a casserole. So why don't you three sit down in the living room." Hanabi hushed them inside and shot Gaara a quick smile.

Since she was in the kitchen she had no idea how the next events had come to happen, but Neji's loud yell of her name made her put down her knife with a frown and make her way to the three man.

Neji was pointing at the corner of her living room in an indignant manner. And her father was piercing her with his intense stare. Only Gaara seemed impassive but when she shot him a confused look, she realized the small corner of worry in his eyes.

"Can you explain this, Hanabi?" accusingly Neji kept his glance on her while his index finger still pointed in the corner.

"What are you talking about?" The brunette turned in said direction and finally found the cause of all the commotion on the floor. And just for a second she paled before getting a hold of herself.

There in the corner laid innocently a used condom and she did know exactly where it came from. What she couldn't explain was how it slipped through her very thorough cleaning.

"Oh… how did that get there?" She wondered out loud.

"Hanabi? How come there is a used condom in your living room?" Neji asked and her father looked rather interested as well.

She shrugged, "No idea." She played it off.

"No idea? Don't lie to me! You are the only person living here. The only question remaining is who the other person was! Hanabi I will ask you again: Did you or did you not have sex in this room?"

Hanabi nodded sarcastically, "You're right, Neji. You've got me. The truth is that the Kazekage and I are having a heated affair and we are doing it like rabbits."

Neji stayed still for a few seconds. "You're right that's ridiculous. Most likely it was someone from your staff. You should lock your private chambers from now on."

Gaara had stayed impassive during the whole ordeal; it took a deep personal connection to him to see the flash of the quirk of his lips.

"Well, that was interesting." He whispered to her when they were sitting on the dining table and her cousin and father were engaged in a deep conversation.

"Well, you know the least likely thing people will believe is the truth. Besides now he can't complain that I didn't tell him." She grinned and her secret lover shook his head at the cold-bloodedness of Hanabi.

…

"Unbelievable. It really was them."

His uncle seemed to have come to the same conclusion judging by the way his lips were pressed in a thin line.

Unsure Hinata looked from one to the other. After she couldn't figure out what was going on, she cleared her throat to continue. "I am sure you can imaging in what position this puts the Clan and Konoha."

"Are you sure this is a serious relationship. We cannot risk to make a move unless we have to." Her father phrased is question in a very neutral manner but Hinata understood the worry in it.

"They are very much in love with each other and both of them are unwilling to back down." Hinata said and then she looked her father square in the eyes. "He loves her."

"Very well then. We have to take care of that." Hiashi declared simply.

"I assume you have some kind of strategy." As expected from a Hyuga, Neji got his emotions under control very quickly.

"So far? Only roughly sketched out." Hinata answered. "We were hoping for your help."

Hiashi agreed. "You will need all the support you can get. And you can count on us, of course. But I'm warning you, it won't be easy. The Clan has been going through some drastic changes, and I can't guarantee it will be easy to convince them. After all we have guarded the Byakugan for centuries as a treasure of Konoha."

Hinata nodded in understanding and took a sip from her tea.

When Hinata left her old home, she knew that it was still a lot to take in for her father and her cousin as well. They simply preferred to keep it in themselves and deal with it in the inside.

She regretted bringing the news on the day of Neji's ceremony but somehow she wanted to assure herself of her family's support. For now however, she'd just look forward for tonight's ceremony.

Well, let me know what you think. Ideas, wishes, suggestion, critism or just any kind of comment is greatly appreciated.
