Chapter 19

The last day before the Chunin exams part 2/A night to remember?

Rated-M

Although at times he wasn't the most socially aware person in town, although he wasn't sure most powerful Kitsune demon counted as a person in many peoples eyes anyway, he was still very smart when it mattered most.

He saw a chance to change things his way, turning the tide his direction where he would be the one standing at the top, the one with his hand firmly wrapped around a chain that was connected to the collar of this potentially disastrous situation. He was going to be the one in control of everything if this was to work out in a way that benefited everyone involved.

Hiruzen wanted him to be a good little Kyuubi and listen to his wise words of wisdom and allow him to direct this mission as he saw fit. After all, he was the Hokage and was indeed a wise old man when it came down to it.

Unfortunately, Naruto cared about as little as possible, seeing as everything related his life and his upbringing had been almost completely related to Hiruzen's poor ability to run his village and keep a leash on people. That was why he'd displayed to everyone in that room that day that he was no part of this village, as shown by his cut headband, and only lived and assisted the village when it benefited Hinata.

Case in point, Hiruzen wanted him to marry Gaara to ensure that both villages wouldn't suffer from an attack, and that they could create friendly ties with the village that was suspected of plotting to besiege them in the rapidly approaching near future.

That plan sounded fine…

However…

Naruto was taken, even before Hinata confessed to him. So he took it upon himself to improvise a plan.

And he felt like it was the only available option. Never mind the fact that he was distracted half the time of planning with the thoughts of Hinata taunting him in his mind.

Her body had powers over him…

Nevertheless, he saw a chance to get someone else to marry Gaara, and that someone else was the cocky and boisterous Kiba Inuzuka.

And as it just so happens, the dog ninja in question was single. And it also happened that he was an Heir to a rather influential clan in Konoha, so it was fine.

So, a short while after the embarrassing situation of his at the hot springs, he took Kiba along with him to introduce him to the Sand ninja. However, the walk was a bit strange seeing as all he had to wear over his undergarments was a kimono he borrowed from the receptionist.

The girl was all too eager to do whatever he asked, but he promised to return the robe despite her rather pushy attempt to make him keep it.

He had trouble getting past the awestruck look in her eyes while talking to her in nothing but his undergarments. But she was nice, so he promised to return it eventually.

Hopefully clean…

Nevertheless, it was still early in the morning, and he was to visit the sand siblings to make sure everything was going smoothly. Hiruzen was probably panicking that he wasn't already with them, but he knew that the old man probably had ANBU agents already keeping tabs on them.

But he was hoping to catch them before they went anywhere. He hoped they were smart enough to stay at the hotel and not wander around town unattended.

Be that as it may…

"So what's she like?" Kiba asked aloud, breaking him from his internal train of thought.

The both of them were seen walking down Konoha's back streets, quickly progressing towards the hotel district.

The Kitsune hummed at the dog ninja's question. "Well, she has a… temper issue, I suppose…" Naruto started.

Kiba raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so like you then?" He quipped in response. He only did so because he knew he could get away with it.

They were friends like that.

Naruto sighed. Kiba was joking, but his words hit like a nail. "Yes, so just like me. However, around me she knows to keep that… temper in check." He muttered, rubbing his temples. "Honestly, I believe you two are a perfect fit."

"You… You don't sound the most convincing right now…" Kiba started sweating.

"You'll do fine…" Naruto waved him off. "Listen. Just be your usual self and try to impress her. She doesn't have much experience in the way of socializing with other regular people, so that's why I think you're the best choice. All you have to do is stay alive, I suppose…" He trailed off, hand cupping his chin in thought.

Kiba sighed. "Well that's a relief…"

Then he paused.

"What was that last part again?" He asked suddenly.

Naruto hummed. "You're my best choice?"

"Nonono! The other part!"

"She doesn't get out much?" The fox tried helpfully.

"No!" Kiba bristled.

"You're my best friend and I trust you to take care of this girl?" Naruto tired.

Kiba steamed. "You didn't even say that last part originally!"

"Oh relax, Kiba-Kun… Must you stress out about things such as this?" Naruto sighed, rubbing his forehead. "You won't win her heart if you stress her out. I did not win the heart of my love by making things difficult for her." He informed.

Kiba's expression fell. "Yeah. You coddled her until she wanted to wrap her legs around your face…" He snarked as he continued down the street, with a laugh at his own comment. "I don't know if that'll work for me, dude. I'm not as dashing and romantic as you… Kurama?" He paused when be realized he was alone. Spinning around he found that Naruto blushing bright red, steam seemingly coming from his nostrils.

"W-What is with you lot and wanting to pry into our love life, I-I wonder?" Naruto questioned, face warm as he rejoined the young man's side. Kiba laughed. He hadn't the kind to tell Kiba that he'd become momentarily lost in thought, bouncing around the idea of Hinata doing just as the dog boy had mentioned...

"Because it's the only way we can all tease you without the threat of being flayed alive." Kiba responded with an upfront and completely honest comment. "Don't get upset, but you don't take jokes very well when they're at your expense."

"When surrounded by fours walls filled with people that have spent the better half of the last seventeen years of my short life wishing me death, how shall I begin to take derogatory comments, I wonder?!" The Kitsune snapped, the ground underneath him cracking, sending concrete splinters flying.

"O-Okay okay, I'm not making fun of you. Sheesh, drama queen." Kiba sighed with a playful smile. Naruto's face flushed hot.

"I'd say that it's an adequate amount of drama!" Naruto snapped back. He blew out a sigh, knowing that Kiba wasn't playing with his feelings, but just nagging on a friend he cared about. It's what the guy had always done, and it had gotten him into trouble more then a few times.

Mostly at his expense. But he supposed that he rather enjoyed it, because there wasn't many that dared to treat him with anything but either fearful obedience when in his presence, fear in general, or petty disdain.

He wasn't trying to be tyrant, but nice as Hinata had spent years urging him to do. He thought he'd gotten it down rather well. He'd even made friends with a few women much older then him, although he had to learn that at first it was for the wrong company.

But he felt like he, Anko and Yugao were good company, especially after a long annoying day. Once he convinced Anko to stop trying to get into his pants, he found out that she was really nice.

When she wasn't trying to get into anyone else's pants either…

"Careful, you'll burn that bath robe…" Kiba laughed, patting the Kitsune on the shoulder, putting out a small fire that had started.

Naruto sighed, expression dulling. He forgot he wasn't wearing his Kimono, which just so happened to be immune to his flames.

"Alright, back on track! What's this girl like?"

"Tsk, a one track mind, akin to you." Naruto snarked back. "She seems nice once you get to know her, just understand that she will try to penetrate you."

"Huh?"

"Oh don't worry, Kiba-Kun… You're worrying over such inconsequential matters…"

"But I-"

"Quiet now, the adults are talking."

"But we're like, the same age!?"

"And I have the body of a thousand year old Kitsune. I believe that gives me certain rights when it comes to age, in fact."

"Does that body come with that verbal tick?"

"N-No, I've always had this, I suppose."

"…"

"Princess adores it, in fact."

"I'm sure she does…"

"What's that supposed to mean, I wonder?"

"Nothing at all big guy."

"…?"

"I'm sure that's not the only thing she loves." Kiba winked. Naruto's face lit up. "I heard Anko ranting on and on about your huge p-"

"…Kiba?"

"Yeah?"

"I'll kill you, in fact."

"Alright alright. Geez…" The ninja muttered, raising his hands in defeat. "I hope you know that I underlined your words in my head to prove my point." Kiba laughed.

Naruto sighed, running a hand through his hair. That managed to get a dreamy sigh from a couple of girls he happened to pass on the road.

"Here we are." Naruto said. They'd arrived at a hotel, on the nicer side of town. At this time of the morning it was rather busy, roughly a hundred people wandering around, many of them likely visitors from other villages, some of them even ninja.

For Kiba, it was amusing watching as all the chatter died down when Naruto stepped into the building, his presence made known almost immediately to any and all who could sense him. Naruto seemed nonplussed, pushing past at his own pace as he made his way deeper inside.

Hushed whispers followed them both, but Naruto seemed that much more impervious to the comments then he used to be. He held an almost pleased glow about him, something Kiba had been testing. Because Naruto seemed to keep letting things that used to upset him go.

Kiba laughed lightly to himself, knowing the cause. His friend had finally landed the girl he'd been chasing for years, and he was riding that blissful high right now. Maybe Naruto wasn't aware of it, but he'd been glowing all day, and everyone could see it.

It'd be pretty difficult to get him down now.

Eventually they made it to the room that held the girl in question. Not wanting to stand around and wait, Naruto immediately knocked on the door.

They heard a bolt unlock, before the door cracked open. The surprised face of Temari was greeted with a golden eyed Naruto. "Good morning, sleep well, I wonder?"

The sand ninja squeaked in surprise, jumping back as the door opened. Kankuro was sitting on a rather unassuming looking bed, spooked half to death when he saw the Kyuubi stroll into his room.

"W-What're you doing here?" Temari asked, eyeing the fox nervously.

Naruto raised an amused eyebrow. "I am the one assigned to watch over you three during your stay here, in fact." He responded with a amused up-tilt of his lips. "Unless, of course, you dislike my presence for some particular reason?"

"Nope!" The blond girl squeaked. Naruto beamed.

"Great!" He chirped, before glancing around the room. "Oh? Seems like one is missing. Where's Gaara, I wonder?"

Temari started sweating bullets, looking anywhere but the Kitsune's eyes.

"Hiding in the closet…" Kankuro chimed in almost immediately. Temari snapped around, fuming.

"What the hell?!" She shouted. He threw his arms up in defense.

"I-It was either that or piss off the Kyuubi, Sis! So take your pick!" The dark clothed ninja shouted back.

"Right, now that won't do." Naruto said aloud, tails slinking into the room seemingly of their own accord. Temari moved out of the way as one tail opened the closet door, and another gently dragged out the redhead that had attempted to hide from him. It was worthy of note that said redhead didn't try and fight back, only shaking her head vigorously as if to tell him, no.

Naruto sat her down a few feet from him, smiling at her. Unlike the murderous killer psycho from before, the girl standing before him now was someone that had learned that there was always bigger fish. She stared up at him meekly, averting her eyes so as not to upset him and bring his wrath upon her. Her black eyelashes fluttered, looking away. Her confidence was gone entirely when in his presence.

And it's not like he'd done anything too her, but it was highly likely that the Shukaku had, in its own way, informed her that Naruto was the threat she should get down on her knees and beg for mercy from.

At least that's the vibe he gained off of her body language.

And although that's not what he wanted the poor girl to feel like around him, it was better then her wanting, and attempting, to impale people to death.

And generally threatening murder.

But for her, without that power high, and the ability to do nearly whatever the hell she wanted to without repercussions, having been taken away, she was lost. For the first time last night she actually slept, and the Shukaku didn't dare to try and escape.

For the first time, she woke up and just…

Sat there.

There was no voice in her head screaming for blood, no voice roaring to be let out. Nothing constantly tugging at her mental state, ripping her mental self in one hundred different directions to the point that she almost couldn't stop herself from slaughtering her own siblings.

And she forgot she had siblings, mind scattered for so long she wasn't sure what that term even meant anymore. And that had left her feeling, just utterly…

Empty…

"…?" Gaara glanced up in surprise when a body nudged into her side, an arm thrown around her shoulders. She saw the grinning face of the young man that had accompanied the Kyuubi, smiling at her.

"Yo! My names Kiba. I heard you're new around here, mind if I show you around?" The dog ninja greeted with his trademark cocky grin, confidence rolling off him in waves.

Temari and Kankuro looked like they were going to have a stroke when the guy got behind her and actually touched her, but Gaara didn't respond.

For the redhead in question, she responded with the first words that came to mind. With a face that belayed her confusion, she spoke. "I'll kill you?" She didn't seem sure of the words she spoke, nonexistent eyebrows upturned in unsure bewilderment.

"Nice to meet you too!" Kiba laughed, patting her on the shoulder. His grinning face couldn't be wiped away.

Naruto smiled. "Gaara-Chan, this is my friend Kiba-Kun. Do not worry yourself, he is a nice guy."

"Aw, thanks dude!" The ninja in question chirped. Then Kiba took her by the hand, the girl's eyes widening in surprise. "Come on, can you let me show you around town?" He asked with a surprisingly gentle smile. Gaara looked conflicted, as she had with everything after Naruto had appeared to silence the Shukaku, so she turned around to her siblings, almost as if for approval.

Temari shook her head violently, while Kankuro threw her a thumbs up with a cracked grin. The redhead blinked, before meekly allowing Kiba to drag her along with him.

Naruto threw a knowing smirk towards the two unnerved sand ninja, red eyes sparkling with the words, "I know something you don't", before vanishing with a wisp of fire that didn't leave a trace of his presence…

"K-Kankuro…?" Temari muttered shakily.

"Hmm…?" Kankuro hummed, sweating profusely.

"He knows something…" She muttered underneath her breath.

"No shit, sis!" The puppet ninja snapped.

"T-Then why aren't we dead already?!" She practically screamed.

"Why the hell you gotta look the gift horse in the mouth?!" He screamed back. "Why you gotta do that?!"

"…"

"Yeah, exactly…" He muttered. "Don't look the damn gift horse in the mouth… That's when it bites your hand off…" The face painted young man sighed.

"Or blows up your village…"

"Sis?!"

"What?! It's the god damn Kyuubi! Should I not be panicking right now?!"

"…"

"Yeah…"

"Naruto-Kun…?" A small voice whispered into the dark, the sound going onto bounce off the walls.

There wasn't a response for a moment, the dark quiet air settling around her. For a brief moment, the only sound aside from her nervous breathing was the sound of the rain pelting the walls of their room. Night had finally fallen on Konoha, bringing with it a light rainstorm.

"Hmm…?" That silence was broken up by a growl-like groan, yet the voice was soft, caring.

"I-I-I can't sleep…" She spoke, but didn't elaborate, or couldn't. Words didn't seem to come easy to her, they never have, but…

Now it just seemed that much more difficult…

The thoughts raging on inside her head truly didn't help settle that unease that flowed through her veins. Even in the dark, with near total absence of light, he could sense her unspoken worries. Sitting up in bed like she was, twiddling her thumbs like she always used to do when worrisome she thoughts consumed her.

He knew something heavy was on her mind, and he didn't need her to openly admit it to make that connection. He'd grown a sharp sense for these things, and he knew when his precious one was hurting.

The bed squeaked as he shifted, the blankets falling from his shoulders as he sat up.

She could feel the tell tale sensation of his furry appendages brushing up against her inner thighs as he sat up, tails draped over her like a living blanket. She felt the tension fad slightly as he moved over, sitting behind her, his sharp chin resting on her shoulders as his warm breath tickled her neck in a comforting way.

"You're worried about your exam." He muttered, the words a statement not a question. He knew why she was nervous, at least partially.

However, she had little to no inkling about the potential invasion by Suna. As loath as he was to admit it, he had to agree with Hiruzen in this fact. No one beside a select few needed to know, especially if he was to stop or deescalate the situation entirely.

So it wasn't that…

"You will do fine, Princess. I believe in you." He said softly, running his hands through her lovely long lavender stained locks. She shuddered lightly underneath the personal attention administered to her.

"I know…" She muttered in response, her voice nary a whisper over the noise of the rain.

"And, I believe that you will succeed in the test, in fact." He hummed in her ear, lips merely half an inch away from her light supple skin. She sighed, leaning backwards into his strong uncovered chest. She adored the feeling of the heat that his body gave off, wanting to grab hold of that heat and never let go.

It's presence was soothing, and she'd gladly wallow in it forever if she could.

Unfortunate for her, that wasn't currently an option.

"I know you do…" She sighed quietly, trying to keep her voice down. But she couldn't contain the pleasured mewls that escaped her lips as she continued to gently run his claws through her hair, lightly itching her scalp. A breathy moan escaped her as his lips closed around the top of her ear, gently biting down with the tiniest bit of pressure.

It was heavenly…

"M-Mmm…" She moaned lightly, careful to keep her voice down. She didn't wish to cater to the idea of waking the other Hyuuga in the compound because she couldn't keep a tight rein on her voice.

That being said, the fox that had busied himself with trying to elicit those sounds from her wasn't at all helping her maintain that wish.

But she wasn't going to tell him to stop anytime soon…

Or at all…

"I-I'm just…" She tried, but trailed off with a sigh. "I know it's bothersome to t-think this way, worrying about the future."

"It isn't bothersome." He gently corrected her, whispering into her ear. She shivered in a pleased response when he detached from her right ear, only to shift over to her left. "It is that mindset that allows you to keep yourself out of danger. It is what makes you smarter then your peers. For my sake, please never abandon that thinking, Princess."

"O-Oh? Are you sure it's not you who keeps me safe? I'm sure an exam wouldn't be enough of a reason to stop you from coming to my rescue…" She muttered with a small amused up-tilt of her lips.

"Hmmm…." He moaned into her neck, his flaming breath sending shivers down her spine. "There is nothing, no repercussion, no consequence, no threat that would stop me from coming to your aid, in fact." He stated slowly, his voice a deep hum that made her shiver.

She blushed scarlet, eyes quivering with unshed tears. She already knew his words to be true, proven by prior actions of his, but…

It was so heartwarming to hear it now again, after the realization of their newly founded relationship together. To know that nothing had changed his level of care for her, and the fact that he'd go the farthest distance in her name if it meant keeping her safe.

It just made her tear up, and she had no chance of stopping the waterworks.

"I know…" She smiled lightly, pressing her back to his chest, tilting her neck to the side to give him better access. "That's why I love you, Darling." She breathed out.

She bit her lips as his mouth changed locations, as he peppered her exposed neckline with passionate kisses. It was sure to leave many marks the next morning, but she didn't mind. The thought of being covered by his marks made her pleased in such a way that she couldn't quite describe.

Perhaps it was a power thing, seeing as she knew people would ask. And the open response that it was the one and only Kyuubi no Kitsune that had left those marks upon her flesh was sure to send a message.

Bring injury upon her, and only death awaits you and whoever backs you.

It was probably that which had prevented the hidden cloud village from ever acting up again. But he'd still not give them too much credit…

"Here, lie down, Princess." He asked, giving her the gentlest of pressure on her backside, making his intentions known to her.

Her face flushed scarlet, yet she didn't resist him, and allowed his roaming hands to maneuver her. She found herself gently laying on her stomach, arms crossed to rest her head upon. It was mildly uncomfortable due to her large heavenly bosom, the side of which were exposed even while laying on them. She felt him shift behind her until he was sitting just below her rump. She swallowed heavily, trying not to think about what her mind immediately went towards.

"I can tell that you are stressed, so let these hands do something more then hurt." He hummed quietly. She heard the tell tale sounds of a bottle cap opening, a quiet squelch, and then a warm sensation suddenly press itself into her upper back.

"A-Ah?!" She squeaked, unable to keep her voice down. She felt her cheeks warm considerably as he began to massage her, his hands greatly warming the lotion.

Where he pulled said lotion from, she didn't know…

Ooooh…

But she realllly liked it…

"Ahhmmm…" She couldn't contain her moans, eyes threatening to roll up into the back of her head. "O-Ohhh… N-Naruto-Kun…."

"Careful now, Princess. You don't want to wake the others…" He muttered hotly, leaning down over her back to whisper in her ear. She shivered violently underneath the presence of his body pressed against her back, but took that time to reveal in his warmth.

Without another word, he sat back up, continuing to run his hands over her back. Soon he deviated from her back and went after her shoulders, finding some serious knots built up. "You must take better care of your body, Princess. Your back is so… tense…" He muttered lowly, pressing his palms into some sore spots. Hinata bit her lips to keep quiet.

"I-I-I'm sorry… M-My neck is a-always sore because of the size of my… b-breasts…" She muttered, blushing as she announced her problem. "No o-other Hyuuga women have ever had t-to deal with this issue before…" She huffed. She could feel Naruto's amusement atop her.

"But that just makes you special, Princess." He hummed, but he could tell she was still upset about it.

"B-But they just get in my way… Sakura or Ino never have this problem…" She moaned. Although he couldn't see them, he could sense her eyes drooping in less pleasing thoughts.

"Don't think like that, Princess. They have their uses, very important ones too, in fact." He hummed thoughtfully.

She frowned. "How?" She asked a little hotly. "They get in the way of my clan Tai-Jutsu, t-they're putting strain on my neck, and I have been constantly been forced to replace my bras a-a-and clothes because they outgrow everything…" She huffed into her arms. "A-And besides… I-I heard you don't even like b-bi-… b-big breasts…" She mumbled the last part, face flushed.

He was silent for a moment, sitting atop her. For a brief moment she felt as if he was mad with her, unspeaking as he was.

But…

"Who told you that I don't like your breasts?" He asked plainly. "It's quite the opposite, in fact." He informed. Before she had the chance to ask how he meant, she squeaked loudly as his hands slid from her shoulders and around to the sides of her bountiful bosoms that were pressed against the bedding. She moaned in surprise as his hands slipped in past her bra, cupping her chest in his hot strong hands.

"N-N-Naruto-Kun?!" She moaned, face scarlet in embarrassment and something more. "W-What are y-you doing?!"

"With them this size, it makes it so much easier to touch you. There's so much more of you to play with, to let my hands slip across. Why, I need both hands to hold one, in fact." He breathed in her ear, cupping her as she shivered underneath his ministrations. "There is so much more of you to love, how ever could I hate your breasts?" He questioned hotly, his fingers deftly kneading her massive supple orbs of flesh in a way that had quickly started to make the Hyyuga Heiress shake in pleasure beneath him. "I love your breasts. I wish you would take more pride in your body, instead of hiding them behind that coat you always wear around me." He admitted openly, hands continuously massaging her bosom.

"A-a-hah?! N-Naruto-Kun-! I-I won't be a-able to keep my voice d-down if you continue!" Hinata mewled, eyes shut tight as she tried to keep her pleasured sounds hidden within herself.

It wasn't working out all that well.

"Oh? But I really enjoy hearing those sounds, in fact." He breathed, lightly biting her ear again. She shivered underneath him as his hands lovingly defiled her oversized bosom, accomplishing a wish she'd had for quite some time now. "I wish you would take more pride in your chest. Show them off, just so that everyone knows that they can never touch them. That they can never do what I can do, what I will do." His words were accentuated by his warm hands cupping and rolling her large pillowy orbs.

Yet, despite his roaming and groping hands, he'd still somehow avoided touching her sensitive peaks. The tip of her mountains, the cabins resting atop her valleys.

And oh how she wanted him too…

But more then that, she wanted his hot lips around it. Oh how she wanted his lips on her…

"But, I suppose if someone walked in on us now it would be difficult to explain why I'm fondling your hefty bosom, now wouldn't it?" He asked with an amused smirk, not that she could see it in the dark…

"…"

"Oh?" He asked, eyebrow raised. "I didn't quite catch that, Princess." He breathed hotly, pressing a hot kiss into the side of her neck.

"M-M-Mmmm…." She moaned into her arms, tears threatening to fall. She could definitely get used to his pleasured touch.

He laughed lightly to himself, smiling happily. "I know, I know." He relented, hands sliding across her chest as they slowly returned to her backside. From there he made his way down her back, slowly working out all her knots, gaining many more pleased moans from his love.

She hadn't felt him shift atop her until she felt his hands start kneading her plentiful posterior. "Mmm?!?" She moaned in surprise, eyes threatening to roll up into the back of her head. "Mm-'mmm-'mm…" She couldn't keep her voice down as his hands pressed and rolled, groped and rubbed, and massaged every inch of her bouncing cheeks.

"Princess, you've got quite a lot of knots down here too, in fact." His voice was almost teasing, hand sliding down to cup her rear. His fingers slowly slid underneath the fabric of her frilly panties, inching ever so slowly closer.

"A-Ah!" She couldn't contain her voice any longer. Naruto hummed, voice dropping an octave. "O-Oh Naruto-Kun!"

"I think I should-" He started, the tip of his claw slipping into her-

-SLAM-

"H-H-Hanabi?!

"Hwah-?!"

"Sissy! What the hell is going… on in… here…?"

"…"

"…"

A loud deafening silence met the younger Hyuuga sister, both the older Heiress and her lover having been caught doing some seriously heavy petting. Hanabi's stunned face quickly turned to petrified when she saw her older sister's face turn blazing red, Byakugan glaring her down.

"Hanabi!!!!"

"Waaaaahh! I'm sorry!! I didn't see anything!!" The younger sister screamed, slamming the door shut, the lock clicking into place sounding deafening in the halls. They could hear her scamper down the hall.

Silence reined in on the young couple's room afterwards, the two's hearts left racing in a mix of embarrassment and arousal. Hinata dropped her face on the bed, struggling to not scream.

Naruto's eyebrow twitched as he struggled to keep his smile, hands still exactly where he'd left them. But now it felt like the mood was ruined, his hands slowly slipping out from where they'd been hidden.

Hinata didn't say anything, laying face down quietly on the bed. She heard Naruto shift atop her, and her cheeks warmed when he lay down across her back, his own head resting on her shoulder.

"You know, I could enjoy this for the rest of my life…" He muttered lightly, a pleased smile on his fanged lips. She was quiet for a moment, before she eventually rolled over to her back, staring up at him. She smiled brightly, despite the ruined mood.

"Me too, Naruto-Kun." She admitted, wrapping her arms around him tightly. His eyes widened in concern for a moment, the intensity of her hug surprising. But he didn't say anything, his face smoothing into a genuine smile.

He placed a kiss on her lips, before he snuggled up on her, his tails wrapped around them like a blanket.

"I love you, Hinata…"

"I know you do."

…

…

…

"Narut-?"

"It's my tail…" He jumped quietly.

"…"

"You won't buy that one, I suppose…." He muttered.

"You don't have to apologize, Naruto-Kun. Don't apologize."

"Okay."

…

…

"B-But can you roll over? Y-You're poking my thighs…"

"O-Oh…"
