Chapter 8: First kiss, I love you.

Naruto, Tsunade, Hinata, and Shizune were all still sleeping in Tsunade's office. Naruto, however, wasn't sleeping very well as he couldn't find a comfortable position in the chair he was in.

Naruto didn't know he was in a chair though, he just thought his bed was weirdly shaped and harder than normal for some reason. Naruto woke up after a minute but barely opened his eyes as he was still really tired. Then Naruto suddenly remembered where he was before he blacked out.

Naruto's eyes shot open and his muscles tensed up in such a way that it caused him to sit upright in the chair. Naruto was breathing heavily and looking around the room he was in frantically.

After a moment though Naruto realized where he actually was. As he looked around he could clearly see that he was in Lady Tsunade's office.

"What the? Why am I here? Wasn't I just about to fight those naked people?" Naruto asked himself as he looked to his left and saw Hinata sleeping in the chair next to him. He also saw that it was now night time outside.

"Why is Hinata here too? How long have we been here?" Naruto asked himself once more as he continued to scope around the room.

As his eyes moved through the room he eventually noticed Tsunade and Shizune both sleeping with their heads lying flat on the desk.

"What the hell happened? Why is everyone asleep?" Naruto continued to ask himself questions until he just decided to wake someone up and ask them what happened. Naruto looked over to his left and gently started to shake Hinata back and forth.

"Hinata, wake up please." Naruto whispered as he continued to shake Hinata.

Hinata eventually gently opened her eyes and saw Naruto's eyes looking back at hers. She blushed as she once again got to look at his beautiful blue eyes.

"N-Naruto? W-What time is it?" Hinata asked as she sat upright in her chair.

"Umm, I'm not sure, I just woke up, but what happened with those naked guys?" Naruto asked which made Hinata jump as she heard the question. Hinata got a worried look on her face.

"Y-You don't remember?" Hinata asked.

Naruto stopped and tried to recall the events that had happened before he blacked out but it was to no avail.

"No, the last thing I remember was me getting ready to punch one of them in face because they made me mad, then it all goes black after that." Naruto explained, which made Hinata breathe a breath of relief as she thought Naruto might have forgotten everything once again.

But now Hinata was struck with another problem. Should she tell Naruto that he went all Nine-Tails crazy and killed all three of them, or should she lie and tell him something else? Hinata didn't want to lie to him, plus the last time someone did that he ran away from them. Hinata couldn't handle the emotional stress of Naruto being upset with her, so she decided to tell him the truth.

"W-Well you k-kind of k-killed them N-Naruto… " Hinata said making Naruto's face turn grim.

"W-Wait, h-how did I kill them? I-I don't even remember doing it." Naruto said with a confused expression on his face.

"W-Well, as it t-turns out those people h-had 'explosive skin' so w-when you punched o-one of them y-you e-exploded and you got thrown i-into me." Hinata explained as her facial expression also turned grim.

"T-Then I-I saw t-that your a-arm h-had been b-blown off d-due to t-the explosion. T-That r-really scared me w-when I saw t-that." Hinata said as tears formed in her eyes and Naruto felt his heart break at the site of that.

Hinata tried to continue explaining to Naruto what had happened but he stopped her by leaning over his chair and pulling her into his arms. Naruto wrapped his arms around her tightly as he could tell that recalling the events that had taken place was upsetting her.

"It's okay, I don't need to know anymore." Naruto said as he tried to stop Hinata from crying. Besides, Naruto had a pretty good idea as to what happened after his arm got blown off, and if anything he was more scared about if Hinata saw him go all Nine-Tails crazy or not. He figured she didn't though as she didn't seem to be afraid of him and surely if Hinata had seen him go berserk, then she wouldn't ever want to be around him again, right?

After a moment Naruto released Hinata and looked at her blushing face and a word popped into his head.

"Cute." Naruto thought to himself as he looked at Hinata and blushed a little himself.

"But I do have one question. Why did we all fall asleep in Tsunade's office?" Naruto asked to break the silence.

"Oh, y-you had passed out a-and I fainted after Tsunade-sama told me that I couldn't leave-" Hinata stopped speaking after she remembered what Tsunade had told her.

Naruto however was quite intrigued as to why Hinata just suddenly stopped talking.

"What? What can't you leave?" Naruto asked out of confusion.

Hinata's face got very red and all her muscles started tensing up. She then tried her best to well up all of her courage and let it out with a single word.

"You." Hinata said as she closed her eyes tightly and tensed all her muscles.

Naruto was bewildered.

"Did she just say that Tsunade told her she couldn't leave me?" Naruto asked himself.

"What? What does she mean by that?" Naruto asked.

Hinata blushed even more.

"S-She t-told me t-that I-I can't l-leave y-your side u-until h-her friend c-comes and t-takes a look a-at the s-seal on y-your s-stomach." Hinata explained revealing that she knows about the Nine-Tails to Naruto.

Naruto for some reason just looked at Hinata like she was crazy.

"What seal on my stomach?" Naruto asked as he looked down at his stomach only to see that nothing was there.

Hinata was also confused. "Does he not know about the seal? Does he even know about the Nine-Tails inside him?" Hinata asked herself as she watched the confused Naruto pull on his stomach, searching it for some kind of seal.

"Maybe he just hasn't ever seen it before?" Hinata said to herself as a means to calm her confusion.

"Will you two please leave? I'm trying to get some sleep." Tsunade muttered as she kept her head on her desk.

Naruto and Hinata both blushed a little as they realized that they might have been talking just a little too loud.

Naruto then turned to Hinata and placed his face next to her ear. "Hey let's get out of here before she gets mad at us." Naruto whispered to her which made chills go down her spine.

Hinata nodded to Naruto and the two of them slowly crept out of Tsunade's office. After Naruto gently closed the door to her office he turned around to look at Hinata.

"Hey, seeing as how you technically can't leave my side, does that mean we have to sleep together?" Naruto asked without a second thought. Naruto's question sent Hinata through a loop of emotions.

Hinata was actually about to faint again. She felt her head get very light and her vision started to fade, but she fought against it and tried her best to stay awake. How is she suppose to answer him though?

"I-I d-don't know, I-I t-think I h-have to s-spend the n-night with you r-regardless b-but I-I don't t-think w-we have to s-sleep in the s-same b-bed, i-if you d-don't w-want too." Hinata explained while trying her hardest to not faint.

Naruto nodded to her. "Okay. So are we going to your house?" Naruto asked.

Hinata froze, there is literally no way her Father would let Naruto sleep in the same room with her, let alone the same house. If her Father found out he was sleeping in the Hyuga compound there would be a war to be fought.

"U-Um, I-I think w-we should probably g-go to y-your apartment m-my dad w-would never a-allow a-a boy i-in my r-room." Hinata explained as she and Naruto started walking.

After just a moment of walking Naruto stopped and looked at Hinata with a strange face.

"Hey, how did you know I lived in an apartment?" Naruto asked even though he figured she just guessed he lived in an apartment. I mean, you don't have to be very smart to know that Naruto doesn't have money, let alone enough to actually own a house. Hell, the only reason he had an apartment was because the Hokage gave it to him rent free.

Hinata knew she had just messed up, big time! Hinata tried to stutter in an explanation but nothing she tried to say actually made any sense. So, in order to escape the question, she just fainted again but this time she actually let herself faint. Which she knew she was going to hate herself for in the future.

Naruto watched as the girl fell to the floor with a completely limp body. Naruto sighed once he realized what had happened to Hinata. Naruto walked up to the girl and picked her up and started walking with her in his arms.

He walked through the dark streets of Konoha and thankfully no one was actually out this late at night. Naruto knew that if someone saw him carrying an unconscious girl into his apartment he would never hear the end of it. Ever.

As Naruto continued to walk down the streets he noticed something about himself that he never knew before. He was actually afraid of walking through the streets by himself. Thankfully though Hinata was still technically there for him, even though she was unconscious. Her presence alone was enough to make him feel better while he walked through the dark.

But finally Naruto made it to his home and he gently opened the door and stepped inside. Once he was completely inside he used his foot to close the door behind himself as he continued to walk through his apartment.

He went into his bedroom, which also happened to be his living room, and laid Hinata down on his bed gently. Naruto wanted to crawl into the bed and cuddle up with her but something just told him that was a bad idea so he decided to just sleep on the couch for now.

Naruto was getting pretty tired so he just went ahead and flopped on his couch and passed out, but unfortunately that was a bad idea as well.

*Naruto's Dream*

Naruto was once again chained up, it was very dark in the room he was in, if he was even in a room at all. Naruto couldn't really tell as it was to dark to see. It was so quiet in the darkness that Naruto's ears starting ringing like crazy as if begging for some kind of noise.

Then Naruto heard someone crying. He could tell from the pitch of their voice that the person was female. Naruto tried calling out to the person but he couldn't talk for some reason. He knew there wasn't any tape over his mouth, or anything like that, but he just couldn't seem to make any noise escape his mouth no matter how hard he tried.

Then a light shined from the ceiling and onto a certain area of the floor. Where the light shined Naruto could very clearly see that the girl crying was in fact Hinata. He also noticed that there was a pool of blood around her.

Naruto's heart started pumping super fast. He tried his hardest to call out to Hinata but still no sound escaped his mouth. Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs as he tried to get something, just something, to squeak out of his mouth but even that did nothing.

Seeing Hinata like that not only scared Naruto but it was really starting to upset him. Naruto could feel tears run down the side of his face. He watched as Hinata squirmed around in pain looking for some kind of relief, until she turned around and saw that Naruto was chained up. Hinata then stopped crying and stood up like she wasn't even hurt to begin with.

Hinata then pointed at Naruto from the light she was standing in.

"It's your fault." Hinata said. Naruto could have sworn he felt someone punch him in the face directly after Hinata said that.

"You're the reason I got hurt." Hinata said to him. Naruto then felt someone hit him again but this time blood started dripping out of his face.

"I hate you Naruto." Hinata said. Naruto's heart actually just exploded, or at least that's what it felt like when he heard Hinata say that. Naruto couldn't help it but he started to cry uncontrollably. Naruto then felt something hard smack him in the head, but that didn't hurt nearly as bad as what Hinata just said to him, even though Naruto watched as blood poured in a continuous stream onto the floor.

"I never want to see you again!" Hinata shouted making Naruto look up at her with eyes full of tears. Naruto tried to plead with Hinata to take back what she just said but still nothing came out of his mouth.

"Hinata please, I need you!" Naruto tried to shout but still nothing came out.

"Wake up Naruto! Wake up!" Hinata screamed at him as something like a baseball bat raced across the room towards Naruto's head. The baseball bat came into contact with his skull and Naruto instantly woke up and saw Hinata looking at him with worried eyes.

*End of Dream*

Normally Hinata would calm him down but right now she was the very thing he was afraid of. Naruto started crying and he quickly stood up and tried to distance himself from Hinata. Hinata watched in confusion and horror as Naruto seemed to be afraid of her.

She reached out her hand to Naruto and watched as Naruto tripped and fell backwards onto the floor. Hinata quickly walked over to him only to see Naruto scoot away from her very quickly and his tears became much more apparent.

"I-I'm sorry!" Naruto yelled as he pulled away from Hinata.

Hinata got confused after she heard Naruto apologize to her out of nowhere. "S-Sorry for what Naruto?" Hinata asked as seeing Naruto like this was starting to scare her a little. Hinata then tried to touch Naruto only to find the pushed her hand away and scooted back again.

"I'm so sorry!" Naruto yelled once more.

Hinata felt her heart break as she now knew Naruto was indeed afraid of her. She watched as Naruto continued to scoot away from her until his back hit a wall that stopped him from backing up anymore. Naruto then emiditaly curled up into a ball by placing his knees against his chest and his arms over his knees, he then laid his head against his arms and continued to cry.

"N-Naruto I-I'm not going to hurt you I promise. I-I would n-never hurt you." Hinata said to try and calm him down as she got closer to him. Her words did seem to make Naruto feel better but he was still clearly really scared.

Hinata slowly walked towards Naruto until she was close enough to touch him. She very gently squatted down and placed her hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're safe now. No one is going to hurt you. I promise." Hinata said as she tried to comfort Naruto.

The tone at which Hinata spoke was angelic to Naruto's ears. With each of her word Naruto felt himself calming down more and more. Eventually Naruto calmed down enough to actually look at Hinata.

"I-I t-think I'm okay now, Hinata t-thank you f-for helping me." Naruto said in a very shaky voice.

"Are you sure, do you need anything else? I'm here for you if you do." Hinata said without even a single stutter. Naruto looked at her and almost started crying again, but instead he just pulled her into a hug and squeezed her really hard. Hinata didn't mind it though, she was more than willing to give up a couple seconds of oxygen in order to make Naruto feel better.

Naruto hugged her and hugged her some more as he continued to cry into her shoulder. Naruto and Hinata stayed in each other's embrace for probably 5 minutes or so until Naruto finally decided to loosen his grip on her body.

"I'm so sorry for getting you hurt when you saved me from that guy." Naruto asked in a still rather shaky voice.

Hinata then realized why he was saying sorry to her earlier when he was freaking out. "W-Why are you sorry for that?" Hinata asked.

"Because you would have never gotten hurt if I wasn't a monster." Naruto said with a grim face.

Hinata now understood what his dream was about after he said this.

"N-Naruto, you're not a m-monster. Y-You are the b-best person I h-have ever met. I-I aspire to b-be just l-like you one d-day. Y-You m-mean the world t-to me N-Naruto." Hinata said making Naruto look at her with strange eyes.

"I-I do?" Naruto asked as he started to get butterflies in his stomach for some reason.

Hinata blushed and nodded her head to Naruto.

Naruto didn't know what to say at this moment. He wanted to just come out and say 'Hinata, I love you.' But he wasn't sure if this was the right time to say it or not.

"I love you Naruto." Hinata said while looking straight into Naruto's eyes.

Naruto's heart skipped a beat when he heard her say this.

"S-She loves me? She, Loves, Me?" Naruto asked himself as he watched Hinata's face turn red.

Naruto was happy now. He was thinking about saying those very words to her and now he has to say it back. Naruto's butterflies in his stomach were going crazy now.

Naruto leaned forward and planted his lips firmly against Hinata's and stayed that way for several moments. Naruto eventually broke from the kiss and sat back against the wall.

"He just kissed me! Naruto actually just kissed me!" This was the best moment in all of Hinata's life. Her crush actually just kissed her on the lips after she confessed her love to him, but does he feel the same way about her?

"I love you too Hinata." Naruto said making Hinata's face turn blood red.

Hinata had never been so happy in her life. Hinata started to get teary eyed as she watched Naruto lean back in for another kiss. Hinata happily met him halfway and started kissing him.

Hinata felt like she was going to faint but there was no way she was going to let herself do it this time. She fought off the urge to faint and continued kissing Naruto. His lips felt so soft and warm and each time they touched hers chills went down her back.

Naruto couldn't believe that a girl like Hinata was actually making out with him. He and Hinata kissed for hours. Literally, hours, instead of going back to sleep they both just sat on the floor and locked lips until the sun came up.

Neither one of them wanted to stop anytime soon. They continued to kiss and kiss until their mouths physically hurt because of the constant movement of them.

"I love you." Naruto said out of nowhere making Hinata blush a dark red once again.

"I love you too Naruto." Hinata said as she leaned back in and kissed him one more time.

Naruto smiled but then his smile seemingly vanished for some reason, but he quickly put on a fake one before Hinata saw.

Hinata's heart was pounding so fast. She was so happy and so excited to know that Naruto actually loved her back. This was a dream come true for Hinata.

Naruto on the other hand wasn't have a super great time right now. Don't get me wrong he did love Hinata and he wanted to be with her but he just realized something that scared him half to death.

"I have to tell Hinata about the Nine-Tails, but if I do then she'll hate me, I know she will, everyone does." Naruto said to himself as he looked at Hinata's cute blushing face.

"But, I don't want to lose her, she is my everything and we only just got together, I can't lose her now." Naruto was having a war with himself on whether or not he should tell Hinata about the Nine-Tails that is sealed inside him.

As Naruto continued to think to himself he noticed that Hinata leaned back in for another kiss. Naruto locked his lips with Hinata's once more but this time he pulled back a little and broke from the kiss.

Hinata got a worried look on her face."I-Is everything o-okay Naruto?" Hinata asked as if she did something wrong.

Naruto looked at her and gave her a fake smile. "Yeah, everything is fine, I-I'm just little tired come on, let's go to bed." Naruto lied, he stood up and sat down on his bed.

Hinata knew something was wrong with Naruto and she wanted to ask what it was but it was clear Naruto didn't want to talk about right now so she left it alone for now. Hinata stood up and watched as Naruto gestured for her to lay next to him on the bed, Hinata then started pushing her fingertips together as she blushed a lot.

"A-Are you s-sure it's o-okay for us t-to sleep i-in the same bed?" Hinata asked nervously. She had never slept in the same bed with a boy before, let alone a boy that she loved.

"Yeah it's fine, what's the worst that could happen?" Naruto asked.

Hinata didn't answer as she physically couldn't talk about 'naughty' things without passing out but she could have named plenty of bad things that could have happened in her head.

Instead though Hinata crawled into the bed and laid down next to Naruto. Naruto smiled at her and put his arm around her stomach and pulled her body into his, which made her blush like mad.

After a moment though Hinata finally calmed down and noticed that she was actually very comfortable in this position. She was laying on her side and the back of her body was pressed against Naruto's front portion, he was also laying on his side.

Hinata found that it was quite easy to fall asleep in this position as she was already about to pass out.

"G-Good night Naruto. I love you." Hinata said as she struggled to keep her eyes open due to her being tired.

Naruto wanted to reply with 'I love you too' but something else was occupying his mind at this moment. He couldn't stop thinking about how he was going to tell her about the Nine-Tails. He knew she would hate him if he told her and he really didn't want that but, he really didn't want to lie to her about it either.

Naruto was conflicted with one of the hardest choices he would ever make in his life. Should he tell her or should he just leave it alone. Naruto tried his hardest to think about something else so maybe he could just fall asleep and forget about telling her but that wasn't going to happen because his heart was beating to loudly due to his nervousness. Naruto eventually couldn't take it anymore and decided to tell Hinata.

Naruto lifted himself up off the bed just enough so he could see Hinata's beautiful face and noticed that she had already fallen asleep. He hated to wake her up but he knew he was going to have to if he ever planned on going to sleep tonight. Naruto placed his hand on Hinata's arm and gently started shaking her.

"Hinata wake up. I really need to talk to you about something." Naruto said as he shook the pale girl back and forth until she finally woke up. Hinata slowly opened her eyes and groaned a little as she put her arms underneath her to support her body while she listened to what Naruto had to say.

"What is it Naruto?" Hinata asked as she still struggled to keep her eyes open for a moment.

Naruto gulped down what little courage he had at the moment hoping that it would help him explain this to Hinata.

"Hinata, I-I have a really big secret t-that no one else knows about and it has something to do with why I got Tortured and why the villagers hate me." Naruto said as his voice got very sad sounding. Hinata was now pretty awake as she realized what Naruto was about to tell her, but little did Naruto know that Hinata already knew his secret.

Naruto's heart was beating so loudly that Hinata could even hear it from her position on the bed. This let her know that Naruto was actually really nervous about this. Naruto took a deep breath before he spoke again.

"I-I have the Nine-Tailed fox sealed away inside of me. I-If you hate me now I will understand and if you don't love me anymore I will understand that also." Naruto said expecting Hinata to get up, slap him and storm out of his house, but, she didn't do that infact she did quite the opposite. She just smiled at Naruto after he told her this which made Naruto a little confused.

"I k-know and I s-still l-love you Naruto-kun." Hinata said as he face filled with blush once more. Naruto was baffled.

"Did she just say she knew?" Naruto asked himself for reassurance on the situation.

"H-How did you know that? H-How long have known?" Naruto asked as his worried feeling disappeared and was replaced with curiosity.

"T-Tsunade-sama told me while you were p-passed out in her o-office, and I-I would n-never hate you. W-When I t-told you that I l-loved you I m-meant it N-Naruto a-and I will a-always mean it." Hinata explained, almost bringing a tear to Naruto's eye.

Naruto was quickly filled from head to toe with a strong feeling of love and he wrapped Hinata up in his arms.

"I love you soooo much Hinata! T-Thank you for not hating me like everyone else!" Naruto said out of joy as tear slowly rolled down his cheek.

Hinata blushed. "Y-You're w-welcome Naruto-kun. N-Now can we please go to s-sleep? *Yawn* I'm so tired." Hinata said as she laid back down on the bed on her side.

"Yes we can." Naruto replied with a happy tone in his voice. Naruto also laid back down on the bed and put his arm in front of Hinata's stomach and pulled her whole body closer to his until his front was touching her back. Hinata blushed at how close the two of them were but she was super comfortable none the less and she quickly passed out in Naruto's warm embrace.

Naruto also started to get very sleepy now as he now knew that Hinata still loved him even though he was a monster. Naruto never knew that love was such a strong emotion until now. He knew that from this day on, he would love Hinata forever and ever, no matter what. Naruto gently kissed the back of Hinata's head and drifted off to sleep. Thankfully Naruto didn't have another nightmare but instead a rather 'Naughty' dream about Hinata. ;)

Chapter 8: End.

I'm sorry that I had to change the ending to this chapter but I messed up and I just had to change it or else the other chapters just wouldn't make since.

So I have decided that there will be a sex scene between Naruto and Hinata but I just felt that this chapter didn't really need one. Plus I didn't want them to have sex just after they had their first kiss, ya know? I just think it will be better if it happens in the next chapter.

I also have to warn you that this story will probably end very soon after they actually get to the point that they freely have sex. I mean I still want them to get married and stuff but, I just wanted you to know that if they have sex in the next chapter then just know that the end of the story is nigh.

I'm also very sorry for not posting this Yesterday but my Internet actually got turned off yesterday and I had to ask my Nana to pay it because I'm only 16 and I don't make enough money to do it myself so sorry for that, but now it shouldn't be a problem since she actually over paid it and now I'm set until October or something like that. Anyway Hope you enjoyed the chapter! See ya later.
