In case it had been forgotten I don't own Naruto or any of the characters

Chapter 15: Feeling's

Nartuo regained consciousness but still felt to saw to open his eyes 'well if im hurting that at least means im alive' Naruto thought as he stretched his thoughts out from the most troubling question of his mortality.

'im on a bed and I font seem to have any tubes or needles in me or at least I cant feel them so I don't think im in hospital, yes win number two I hate hospitals' Naruto then realized a weight on his chest and he heard a content purr 'purring? What do I have a cat sitting on me or something... … wait cat Yugi-chan!' Naruto mentally screamed his eyes finally opening in shock.

Looking down Naruto Naruto saw Yugito curled up against him using his chest as a pillow, her usually neat hair she always kept in a tight ponytail looked wild as it cascaded down her back finally free of its restriction's.

'wow she looks even better when her hair is let down I wonder why she doesn't leave it like that... well it is long maybe it gets in the way when shes fighting' Naruto mused while tossing up if he should wake her or not

deciding against it he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep subconsciously wrapping an arm around his fellow blond as she snuggled closer into his embrace letting out another purr.

The pair slept for a couple of hours before the sounds of giggles caused them both to stir.

Opening there eyes at the same time they both immediately blushed crimson at the compromising position they were in

a click was heard and both teens turned there heads only to be greeted by the flash of a camera.

"aw isn't this adorable" Tsunade said with a sly smile knowing she had caught them in a very embarrassing moment for the pair who quickly separated at the sight of the occupants of the room

"Baa-chan what are you Shizune and erosennin doing here" Naruto asked a look of shock and horror on his face thinking about the picture they just took and what they might do with it

"we just came to check on you to see if you had woken up and you looked to cute to disturb so we thought a picture would be a good way to remember it unfortunately this old pervert couldn't keep his mind clean enough to stop from giggling and waking you before we could get more than the few we got" Tsunade said casually

"Wait so there is more of them" Naruto said not wanting to believe that Tsunade and Jiraiya had more than one of the compromising photo's

"well it wasn't difficult to get them when miss Nii here refused to leave your side until you woke up" Jiraiya said with a small grin on his face

Yugito had just been getting redder and redder in the face as this went on and now resembled a tomato that had wavy long blond hair, she couldn't take it anymore and had to leave before it got anymore embarrassing "um well tsunade-sama, I think I will leave now" and with that she left the room getting small chuckles from the three older ninja.

Naruto tho was confused and a little worried 'what's wrong with Yugi-chan she left really quickly... oh no maybe she is mad at me because of how we woke up I need to find her later and apologize

I just hope that she is not too mad' he thought before realizing Shizune was talking to him "oh I am sorry Shizune what did you say I wasn't listening" Naruto admitted guiltily

"I was asking how you were feeling and if you could move around easily its just we have to start making our way back to Konoha" the dark haired women said happily truly glad she would be able to go home again after spending so long with Tsunade on the move'

"oh yeah I feel great" Naruto said before registering the full comment "wait you mean your coming back and Tsunade-baachan is going to be hokage?" Naruto asked a small smile stretching onto his face

"yes that right gaki im your new boss so you better start showing me respect" Tsunade mock threatened

"what ever Baa-chan if jiji couldn't get me to call him hokage-sama you don't stand a chance you are nothing compared to him in fact I don't want you as hokage anymore I don't accept it" Naruto yelled knowing it would rile the elderly woman up

"you wanna take this outside again you little shit" Tsunade said glaring at the boy

"you know it you old bat" Naruto said putting his jacket on before heading out being followed by the angry Tsunade leaving the other two just staring at each other before shaking there heads and following the two short tempered blonds

Once more Tsunade readied her single finger that she would use to clobber the small genin, Naruto rushed forward fist pulled back for a punch that Tsunade easily ducked sliding her hand up she easily knocked off Naruto's hetai-ite before stopping Naruto dead

Tsunade had lent down and kissed the now exposed forehead of the blond before standing back up and looking upon him with a motherly smile. "you know I am really glad you won my necklace" the slug sannin said the smile never leaving her face

"Thank's baa-chan that means alot" Naruto said honestly ignoring the minor look annoyance on Tsunade's face at once again being called old by the boy who had wormed his way into her heart as a younger brother or even as a son

(With Yugito)

Yugito was sitting in a tree overlooking the area Naruto had trained to master the rasengan trying to calm down.

'Aghhh why did I have to get onto the bed with him... I just saw him lying there so peaceful and I wanted to be next to him and then I go and put my head on his chest so I can hear his heat beat and it puts me to sleep oh he must think I'm some weird stalker' Yugito cried internally

'well I am just annoyed about the interruption when you both finally woke up that was the perfect chance to take him and make him forget about ever being injured by that snake' Nibi moaned

'Nibi shut up what if he is angry at me because what I did I mean I was basically dry humping his leg I took advantage of the fact he was out cold just to feel closer to him' Yugito replied as a tear fell from her eye's at the thought of the nicest person she had ever met and the boy she was falling for hating her because she couldn't keep off him while he was unconscious

Yugito was so caught up in her conversation with Nibi she didn't notice Naruto was walking into the clearing obviously looking for something.

Naruto saw Yugito in the tree and made his way over so he could talk to her but then he relized she was crying he slowed down and dropped his head in shame for making the young woman cry

"uh hey Yugi-chan" Naruto said downbeat knowing she was upset but kept the affectionate nickname

the female blond's face shot up shock evident in her slitted eyes at the sight of her fellow jinchuuriki as she didn't see him arrive "Na-naruto-kun what are you doing here" she stuttered out

"oh sorry Yugi-chan I didn't mean to scare you I just wanted to apologize for this morning I must have wrapped my arm around you when I went back to sleep after waking up... im sorry I just didn't want to wake you you looked so beautiful purring in your sleep I couldn't bring my self to wake you up and I must have curled up in my sleep I hope your not to mad" Naruto said with a sheepish grin on his face

Yugito couldn't hold back the tears anymore as they began to flow and she wailed as she latched onto Naruto's jacket burying her face into his chest.

Needless to say Naruto was confused she didn't seem angry or even upset with him as she had grabbed him for comfort "Yugi-chan what's wrong please I want to help you can tell me anything because you are a precious person to me" Naruto said wrapping his arms around her waist and bringing her closer to him he began to rub her back in an attempt to sooth the wailing kunoichi

Yugito just continued to cry but with every word Naruto spoke to his fellow blond her heart leapt out of her chest 'he doesn't hate me he, hes comforting me, and he even said that I was a precious person to him... damn it im so happy I cant stop crying I need to tell him im alright but how should I do it' she thought as her tears continued to fall

'kiss him' Nibi said in a serious tone there was no hint of teasing in it at all

'wh-what but I cant just do that' Yugito thought back

'yes you can now if you really think you love him then show him' Nibi demanded

Naruto held Yugito as her tears turned into sob's her head still resting on his chest as she turned it to look into his azure blue eye's

"Yugi-chan please tell me your alright now it break's my heart to see you cry like that" Naruto asked as he stared lovingly into Yugito's sky blue slitted orbs

Naruto waited for her to speak but when she didn't he went to say something againbut was cut off when her hand came up and stroked his cheek as he closed his eyes 'oh kami that feels amazing but why is she acting so weird and why wont she tell me whats wrong oh damn you erosennin I wish just once you would give me a lesson on girls that wasn't about what positions they like or how to tell what cup size they are' but Naruto was brought out of his internal ponderings when he felt a soft moist pressure pressed against his lips

opening his eyes Naruto was shocked to see Yugito's lips pressed against his, quickly coming out of his stunned state he eagerly but lightly returned the kiss and a small moan and a purr escaped as they continued there ministrations

Yugito felt like she die happy when Naruto had returned her kiss it may have been a soft light kiss but it lasted for what felt like hours and was filled with so much love and longing that tears threatened to escape her eyes once again.

When the pair eventually separated for air Yugito leaned back in to the genin's ear "I really like you Naruto-kun, you are the first person who has accepted me for who I am and you have shown me more affection in a week than I have received my whole life, I don't like it when your not around anymore that's why I got into your bed while you were unconscious, I just wanted to be closer to you... when we woke up like that I thought you would be mad at me for what I did so I left as soon as I had the chance" she was stopped here by Naruto pulling back and giving her another kiss just as intense as the first

"Yugi-chan when I woke up I thought how lucky I was to be able to wake up and see an angle, I could never be mad at waking up next to the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and just so you know …. I really like you as well you are one of my most precious people" Naruto whispered after they once again pulled back from the kiss

they sat and talked after that Yugito explaining that she was crying because she was so happy that he wasn't mad and considered her precious to him until Naruto remembered the other reason he came to find his fellow blond

"oh yeah Yugi-chan I forgot to tell you we are heading back to Konoha later today because Tsunade-baachan is going to be the new hokage and you are allowed to come with us under the protection of the sannin so you don't have to wait for her to be summoned in as hokage for you to go there but you will still have to wait till she is official hokage before she can make any decisions on what ever treaty or agreement the raikage is offering... anyway it mean's you get to come back to Konoha with us and I can introduce you to all my friends that I have been able to make" Naruto said eager to both get back to Konoha and spend more time with the the Kumo kunoichi

"Really that's great come on lets go get my stuff from my hotel room" and with that the pair ran back to the town

(Just Outside Konoha several days later)

during the days since Naruto and Yugito's encounter in his training ground the pair had become inseparable the only time they weren't together during the days were when Jiraiya would take Naruto to spar and even then the toad sage would often ask the young kunoichi to join them with the elderly man stating that he wanted her to help him with teamwork, in truth Jiraiya had been curious as to how they worked as a team since he saw them perform a flawless collaboration jutsu first time in perfect sync

the two young blonds were currently talking to Shizune about what it was like growing up with Tsunade away from the village since she was ten the young couple walked hand in hand occasionaly glancing at each other from the side's of there eyes Naruto had come to see Shizune as a big sister, caring and gentle unless you mentioned anything to do with bacon and Tonton her pet pig

"remind you of Minato and Kushina after he saved her back when they were just little gaki's don't they" Tsunade said to Jiraiya walking behind the other three just out of hearing range

"yeah they sure do even there teamwork they flow together like there one person its such a shame for them both there from separate villages but there are always ways around that if this treaty to combat the akatsuki works we could even get an alliance out of this and then we have a ready made political marriage" the toad sage said for once not going to his note pad highlighting how serious he was.

The group walked for a few more minutes before the gates of Konoha could be seen easily upon arriving Naruto saw the two chunin who were in henge to weed out the people who couldn't see past genjutsu in the chunin exams

Izumo and Kotetsu were having there usual day cursed by what ever ungodly force handed them the job of yet another rotation on gate guard duty, they had just been dazing off to sleep when they saw a familiar tuft of blond spiky hair

"hey Naruto where have you been this job sucks with out your pranks to keep us entertained watching the other chunin try and catch you, the only thing that made us glad we had gate duty was the fact we didn't have to try and catch you" Izumo said causing a giggle from Yugito who had gone unnoticed until this point

"um excuse me miss?" Kotetsu said getting her attention

"oh its Nii Yugito" she said formally

"well miss Nii im afraid you cant enter the village at this time because we don't have a hokage at the moment and you being here could cause problems" Izumo said subtly taking in the fact she was holding Naruto's hand and they had interlocked fingers 'lucky bastard she is so hot' he thought

"yeah that wont be a problem me and erosennin brought Tsunade-baachan back to the village to be the next hokage and Yugi-chan here is under there protection" Naruto said indicating the two sannin casually walking over to the gate guards

Izumo and Kotetsu could only dumbly nod allowing them all to pass 'I am never going to complain about this job again if I get to see shit like that... boy that Naruto must have balls made out of some unbreakable alloy to be able to call one of the sannin gandma and the other a perv I would never dream of it' both the gate guards thought as they slowly picked there jaws off the ground

(With Naruto and Yugito)

Naruto and Yugito walked hand in hand down the street ignoring the glares of some of the civilian's others had warmed to the boy after word spread that he saved a fellow leaf ninja's life in the forest of death by holding off Orochimaru, and his actions during the invasion defeating shukaku and saving most likely hundreds of lives that could have been lost had Garra gotten to his target

Yugito saw the glare's and was angry even if she was used to receiving the same treatment at Kumo she knew Naruto and he didn't deserve it

"come on Yugi-chan lets go this is the time of the week all the rookies who are not on missions meet up at this awesome BBQ place they don't serve ramen or sushi but the foods still good do you want to go, I would love for you to meet some of my friends" the spiky haired blond asked

"um oh alright lead the way" Yugito replied apprehensively unsure of what they would think of her being from kumo but relaxed when Naruto smiled warmly at her and began to lightly lead her in the direction of Choji's favorite eating place

(At the BBQ restaurant)

all the rookies sat as they prepared to order but there were some key people missing Naruto and team 7 had yet to arrive

"hey do you guys know where Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Sai are I thought all out of village missions were canceled for genin until we got a new hokage" Kiba said

"Well Sasuke-kun is in the hospital I tried to ask what was wrong but they just said they were unsure some kind of psychological attack or something like that, Naturally forehead hasn't left his side saying he would want her there when he woke up, Sai well the thing I heard was he Quit team 7 for another team but I haven't seen him around since then and Naruto who knows what he and Jiraiya-sama get up to hes probably not even in the village I haven't seen him in three weeks not since the funeral" Ino said going through her latest gossip on the missing member's of there group she didn't see the two new arrivals altho many of the others did

Naruto walked into the restaurant and began walking to the usual group of tables used for there little meetings upon arriving Naruto saw the reaction's to his and Yugito's arrival and while some were understandable others were confusing or just typical

Shikamaru just muttered "oh great another troublesome blond" before placing his head back onto the table

Choji didn't seem to care as he was eagerly awaiting the food to cook

Ino had her back turned and hadn't seen them yet

Shino was ….. well he was Shino

Kiba had a look of lust in his eyes checking out the woman Naruto had brought in and was currently thinking up ways to impress her

Hinata looked almost broken and defeated and Naruto didn't understand why he had thought she was getting over her lack of confidence, Yugito on the other hand took one look at the Hyuuga heiress's expression and knew what it was 'she likes him, but judging by her timid attitude she has not told him or even had a real conversation with him... maybe I should try to talk to her I feel bad seeing her like that when her feelings for Naruto-kun are obviously genuine but I am not going to give him up he's all mine and I don't like sharing' she thought

'awwwww not even with me' Nibi teased

'Nibi how would you be able to be with Naruto-kun first of all your stuck inside a seal on my stomach and secondly you are a twenty foot tall demon cat with no gender, your a mass of condensed chakra' she thought in reply

'we would find a way' Nibi huffed

Naruto was shaken from the sad Hyuuga when he saw Neji, Neji was glaring at Yugito with nothing but pure hate in his eye's Naruto could understand Neji feeling this way towards Kumo them being responsible for the death of his father but Yugito had nothing to do with that and he made a mental note to talk to Neji and soon

moving on Naruto saw that Lee was his usual self despite being in crutches since the preliminary's nothing could keep him from trying causing Naruto to take another mental note to ask Tsunade to look at his injury altho he was sure that Gai would already be at her desk begging her even tho she had only just arrived a few hours ago

Tenten stared at the kumo Kunoichi with what appeared to be interest and a hint of jealousy displayed towards the well developed and shapely Yugito

Ino then turned around to see what everyone was staring at and her mouth hit the ground this kunoichi had the exact type of look she was going for and had pulled it off even better than she had imagined granted she was one maybe two years older than Ino she couldn't help but be extremely envious of the curves and ample bust of her fellow blond and the slitted eyes added a wild side she could never achieve

"hey Naruto who is the hottie" Kiba leered with almost drooling

"eyes back in there sockets dog breath" Naruto snapped immediately becoming defensive and possessive of his companion not that she minded in fact she loved the fact he wanted her for himself

"guys this is Yugito Nii she is from Kumo and came here with erosennin, Tsunade-baachan, and Shizune-Neechan to organize some sort of agreement for cooperation between our villages she is also a good friend of mine" Naruto said causing a light blush to appear on the cheeks of both Naruto and Yugito that went unnoticed by all except Hinata and Shikamaru

"Heh Konoha will never work with Kumo she is wasting her time you should go back where you belong" Neji sneered

"Neji that's enough she hasn't done anything wrong" Tenten said "I'm sorry Yugito-san my teammate is a bit bitter towards Kumo ninja"

"its quite alright I understand perfectly as a Hyuuga Neji-san was it? Has a perfectly justifiable reason not to trust of like me, and please no formalities just Yugito is fine" the female jinchuuriki replied

"you don't understand anything you filth Konoha would never do anything like what Kumo dose to get what it wants" Neji spat

suddenly the temperature around the table dropped and Naruto stared glaring at Neji his blue eyes gone replaced by red with slitted pupils the Killing intent he was giving off was shaking all the genin

"you don't know anything Neji I thought you learned not to judge people when I beat you in the chunin exams but I guess I was a fool, Konoha has used underhanded means in the past Jiji once told me about his old rival who ran his own section of Anbu called root but he ordered the program to be disbanded after he found he had used them to target civilian's during the second great shinobi war in order to kidnap children so he could turn them into weapons but he told me he always suspected he still ran the program in secret so don't go saying Konoha is innocent we are ninja and even tho I don't like it these things happen just because Yugi-chan came from a village doesn't mean the villages sin's are hers that thinking is what causes wars" Naruto spat out furious at the attack on what he hoped would be his future girlfriend "come on Yugi-chan im not hungry anymore" he finished and turned to leave

"Wait!" Neji called

"yes" Naruto responded turning to look passively at the normally calm Hyuuga

"I'm sorry please forgive me Yugito-san I let my prejudice get the best of me please forgive my rudeness and stay for our lunch" Neji said with a bow receiving a nod from Yugito and squeezing Naruto's hand to show she was ok the couple returned to the table and began to chat happily with the other rookies

most were still having thoughts about Naruto's outburst he was usually so care free and relaxed unless he was in a fight but he blew up to defend his friend something they all knew he would do regardless of who threatened them, Naruto would always protect his precious people.

The group chatted quietly amongst themselves and Yugito subtly made her way over to talk to the blue haired heiress with confidence issues

"hello your name is Hinata yes... look I know its not much but I am sorry" the blonde said

"what are you sorry for you haven't done anything to me I hold no grudge's against you or Kumo for what happened to me all those years ago" Hinata said

"Whilst I am happy to hear you hold no ill will against me for that, I did not apologize for that I came to say sorry because you obviously have feeling's for Naruto-kun" Yugito stated bluntly causing Hinata to go red and splutter

"I'm saying sorry because I like him a lot and I will not let you or anyone else have him, not when I just got him but I also feel bad because you genuinely care for him and I am glad that there are people like you who can see what a great person he is despite what he has gone through and I would very much like us to be friends" Yugito finished with a warm smile receiving the same from the shy Hyuuga

"I too would like to be your friend Yugito-san but know that I will not give up on him but I also will not get in your way I am just glad to see Naruto-kun happy" Hinata said

After the group finished eating Kiba tried once more to get the attention of Yugito but failed miserably

"hey Kiba don't take it to personally but shes more of a cat person" Naruto said as they left the restaurant causing Yugito to giggle knowing he meant that in a literal sense

so Naruto-kun what are we going to do now I should really get to the hotel and drop off my stuff I know you sealed it in these weightless sealing scrolls but still the longer I carry them the more chance I have of loosing them don't you think

"yeah your right ill walk you there how about we meet up for dinner tonight but I gotta have an early night erosennin wants me at training ground 7 early in the morning something about helping my wind manipulation I also want to go check on a teme who tryed to bite off more than he can chew and ended up in hospital over the next few days but we can still do stuff when im not working" and with that the couple walked slowly towards the diplomatic hotel Naruto talking about his friends and what there usually like when she isn't around

Chapter end!
