One morning. The sun is already high in its place when Hinata woke up in a panorama she never recognized. It was so cold. The place where she lies is so soft and cuddly, but something is so strange, she knew. The sound from the right side of the place sends some strange effect on her. She knew from that very moment that there is something wrong, she just don't know what.

Hinata cannot distinguish the feeling of hurt in her body, not only outside but also on the inside even in the comfortable way she lies. She opened her eyes only to see the yellow chandelier that lights the room and the reddish brown color of the wallpaper that surrounds the whole area, which reminds her of her favorite dessert, zenzai. When she sat up on the bed, there is this piercing feeling in her head that felt like lightning in the thin air. It is a hell-like feeling that crushes her brain. She then places her both hands on each side of her head to regain herself from the thousand needles inside her.

As her eyes travel to the expanse, she then realized that she is indeed in a room! Not only a simple room but a hotel suite that measures like her whole house back home.

Hinata came from Nami no Kuni a year ago. She is very fond of her simple way of living back then. But after she and her father had a fight, she decided to move in with her friend, Sakura in Hi no Kuni. Currently, they are in the capital in Konohagakure where she works to help Sakura with the bills and the rent. At first, she was so happy to be free and away from everyone back home that always thought of her as someone who was not her. But as time passes, she realized how hard it is to be far away from her family and to be alien in a place where nobody knows anything about her.

Hinata is still in a state of shock at how she ended up sitting in this unknown place, but she became more shocked when someone emerged from the door in the right wing of the suite.

Where am I? She mused. She was so surprised when a tall man appeared before her eyes. She slowly wanders her eyes on the countenance of the man. There she noticed the perfect line of his jaw. The once pursed lip is now turning into a smile. His blue eyes stayed on her lavender-dilated eyes. His semi-long blonde hair partially covers the perfect shade of blonde brows he has.

Suddenly, she turns her eyes lower, and she backed off when she felt her cheeks burn on the scene before her. The man standing in front of her was only covered with an above-knee towel and soaking wet. He looks so attractive in that very situation. His hair is still uncombed, the water dripping down in his broad chest and fierce abdomen that made Hinata's mouth dry.

The man suddenly laughed at her a little while later. She was so pissed that she didn't notice how she intently locked her eyes on the stranger ahead.

Wait!

Realization strikes. She is sitting in a bed with a hot-nude stranger facing her. Without noticing her own actions, she looked down at her body and shit! Her head spins when she found out that she is naked herself.

She tried so hard to think of what might have happened the night before that she ended up sleeping with this man and waking up with a spinning and groggy head. Nothing clear came into her mind until she noticed some movement from where she lies.

Naruto, covered with only a white towel concealing his physique, moves toward the sleeping girl on his bed that fainted a little while ago. It is so funny that he cannot hide the playing smile on his lips. As he came closer to the lady who unnerves his manhood the night before, he notices her bluish curls that are slightly covering her lavender eyes and long lashes. He recalled how those very same eyes stared at him with so much intimacy as they shared every passing moment not so long ago.

Unsure of what to do, he waited for the girl to regain her consciousness. He started to move again when she heard the girl speak at last.

"Please, tell me nothing happened." At last! Hinata recited her first words, still eyes closed.

"Is that how you greet someone early in the morning?" he countered, still with the hidden laugh in his voice. Hinata thought that this man is an angel with a voice so powerful and domineering. It's just that this man is pissing her off because he is having so much fun staring at her, trapped in a snare-like coven.

She slowly opened her eyes and swiftly closed them again as she realized that the man sitting just beside her, is now literally on top of her. Now, a single inch separating her nose from his made her heart leaped. She doesn't know what else to do and how the hell it happened that she never felt the movement of the stranger that is now on top of her.

She tried to push the man away but he held her wrist and placed it on top of her head, making her look like a slave tied to be tortured. She also tried to kick him but the legs of the man have been entwined with her own. She can no longer move, so she attempts to shout for help.

However, as she cried for her safety, as she call it, he pinned her down more and touched his lips with her. It felt so hot and soft at the same time against her delicate lips, it also tastes like marshmallows.

The kiss lengthens and as her overflowing feelings takeover in her system, she started to respond with his kisses. Their shared kiss gets deeper and deeper, her tongue to his tongue, circling and playing, tasting the morning sweetness of each other. Feeling the heat radiating from the sun that flows through the yellow curtains and at the same time feeling each other were the only feeling that is recognizable at the moment. She was so hot and at the same time feeling excited down there. She can feel the building ache below her stomach. As their kiss gets more exciting, she placed her right hand on the back of his neck as his hand moved at her bare breast. She winced. And they both stop on what they are doing.

Shit! What the hell happened?! He thought. I am actually losing all my control with this young lady here! He stepped back and intently looked into her wondering eyes. He can see the movement in her breast as her heart thrums from their shared moment a little while ago. That same breast felt so soft in his touch and tasted so sweet against his tongue. Naruto can already hear the drumming sound of his heart because of this awkward silence between them. Their breathing with the same rhythm sends scenes in his mind from the night that has already passed.

"You are so gorgeous. Did you even know that?" I asked her without knowing her name. I am so depressed not so long ago, but because of this lady ahead of me and that smile that she wore, I forget everything in my mind—my ex-girlfriend, my company problems, and my empty house—and enjoy this moment with her.

"No. But, still, I thank you." She said with a smile and frown at the same time, a little amazed and so I noticed the little accent as she speaks. She is not from here. I stared at her more the same way she have her eyes on me.

The club lights are really pissing me off for I cannot see the true beauty of this lady. I smiled at her reaction, "I am…"

She cuts me off before I even say my name. "Please don't," she murmured in my ears. "I want to know your name when the time is right." She continued. It was so bewildering, the way she say the words.

"Why?" is the only word I uttered after her spoken puzzle.

"Because I am not really into making friends…" She fell silent; I poke her arm that is only inches away from me. She then smiled "Never mind me."

Whoa! I thought. She really is something. "Then, can I treat you, madam?" I say still with a smile on my hungry lips.

"Please." She beamed. "You know, I really hate this kind of place—discos, bars, clubs and all—but I just can't say no to Saku." She said after she received her whiskey a minute later. She pouted her lips toward the direction of her friend.

"Oh." Is the only word that came out of my mouth after she introduced me to her man, then I tell her, "Is he your boyfriend?"

"Who?" she asked out of reverie with a voice of grogginess then I point in the direction of her "friend". "Boyfriend?!" she exclaimed then she laughed so hard that made me smile myself even if bewilderment is in my face.

"Why? What's wrong?" I asked, still confused.

"You actually thought that Saku is a boy?"

"Yes. Why?"

"She is not!" still laughing she continued, "That boy," she pointed out "is her boyfriend, and the girl in the black dress and with the long pink hair is Saku, short for Sakura."

"Oh."

"Yeah." She is still laughing but more silently; I don't know but her voice and the sound of her laughter made me so… turned on in a very strange way.

"I already know the name of your friend, but not yours," I stated boldly.

She looked at me, puzzled. "Does it matter?"

"I don't know." I shrugged.

"Okay." She flashed her braced teeth again.

"Okay." I mimic her actions.

One. Two. Three more seconds passed before she blinked and realized that it was her first kiss and she doesn't even know who the man who stole it from her is! No! Wait! I don't think so.

Realization strikes. She felt her body numb under the silky-white blanket. She is naked. And she is hurting deeply below. She knew what had happened just by the sight of her, but she still can't accept that truth.

"Please. Tell me nothing happened." She repeated with her cracking voice. She sensed her eyes being blurry with every passing second as the tears run down her heated cheeks.

"Oh. sweetheart, please don't cry." He uttered the words as he placed his thumbs on her cheeks clouded with tears. He lean in again and slowly and sweetly kissed the tears building in her eyes.

"Please." She croaked in her sobs.

"I don't want to lie to you." And that sends the message. It was confirmed something really did happen.

She cried even more, "You raped me!" the words felt too wrong as she recited them. She knows deep inside her that she is telling a lie.

"Of course not!" he exclaimed. He was so shocked at her accusation that made him shout.

At last, she said the words, "I know."

"I am sorry." He whispered, "I didn't mean to have fun with you last night" He stopped, still unsure whether to tell the truth but he still decided on the latter "But you gave your words to me." He said in a weary tone. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

"No. It is okay, I think. It is my fault, not yours." She says in between sobs. She tried to regain her composure before she spoke again "Can you please get up?"

"Oh. Yeah. Sure. Sorry." He voiced out as he slowly move up. She also started to move, when she noticed his towel is now only hanging in his arse. She felt her eyes dilate at the picture. She swiftly move back under the blanket and hid her face on the pillow beneath her.

Ally heard the man laugh and said, "Don't worry. You have already seen this. To tell you the truth, you have already played with this last night."

She felt her cheeks burn at his words. "Cut it off!"

"My shaft?!" he exclaimed.

"No!" she also yelled the words under the pillow. "What I'm trying to say is that, stop teasing me!"

"Oh!" then he laughed more. "You can now get up. Don't worry I am already dressed." He said, a minute later.

She trusts him and gets out of the pillow. She slowly sighed. "Thank heavens."

"You are so cute. Did you know that?"

"No. But still, I thank you."

"Are we having this conversation again?"

"Eh? What conversation?" She asked bewildered. She started to move out of bed. She stands before the man in front of the mirror, only covered with a blanket.

"Never mind me." He smiled and turned around. She felt her mouth dry at the broad shoulder of the man. It is so perfect that she felt her hands moving in his glossy blue polo. Even his reflection in the mirror is mouth-drying and his perfect feature that is like a face of a god.

He turned around again to face her. "Was that your first time, madam?"

"Madam?" she asked confused. "Yes. It was my first time; it was even my first kiss, and I have no idea what has happened. You still don't know my name?"

"Your friend's name, yes I know. It is Sakura, but yours? No, I don't" he half-laughed. "It is because of your rules. Do you know my name?"

"Oh. I don't know your name." something flashed in her memory. "But, I remember the rule."

"Will you now please allow me to introduce myself, madam? After so much had happened between us, I believe that we must now know each other, right madam?" he utter with a bachelor-like tone. Hinata only nodded once before he spoke again. "Madam, I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. Naru would be fine for me."

"Okay, Naruto. May I?" she replied. He smiled and at the same time nodded. "I am Hinata Hyuuga. Hina would also be fine for me." She smiled sweetly, still with the blanket wrapped in her body.

"What a beautiful name you have, Hinata." He flashed that smile that made her heart leap.

"And so do you, Naruto." She offered her hand for a shake and he easily touched it which sends shivers all over her system. "It is so nice to meet you, Naruto-kun."

"The pleasure is all mine, Madam." And with that, he pulled her in a blink of an eye and kissed her intently. She submits herself easily. As soon as they started kissing, the faster it is also to come to an end. "I'm going to be late for work if I kiss you deeper. I know that it won't just end that way." He smirked. And with that, he left her standing still and naked.

As she regained her balance, she started to move freely in the suite. As she walked outside the door, she then realized that it is not just a suite. But a house! She went back to the room. She wandered around and settled on the brown door located at the right, this must be the shower room because I saw Naruto-kun emerge from this door, she said to herself.

A moment later, she found herself in a hot bath in the room. It still smells of Naruto, she realized. Oh my! What is happening to me?! We have only known each other for hours and he has already this effect on me?! She mused to herself. Even Kiba had never been like this to me. What is wrong with me?!

She remembered Kiba, her childhood friend and long-time crush, as he thought of Naruto. Their happy moments and the way they shared everything. She had actually dreamt of her and Kiba being married and having kids. But one dreadful moment happened. She could still recall that night with a hurt in her chest.

I was walking down the aisle. It is already seven o'clock. Kiba, Sakura, and I were usually always walking together to school. I have been late this day because I still finished some group activities with some classmates. The three of us were already in twelfth grade at that time, and it is only a month before the graduation.

I am really in love with Kiba at that time and I know that he also felt the same way about me. I want to let him taste the cookies I bake that have been made at one of our classes. As I walked into the dark alley, I heard someone, Kiba. I went in the direction of the voice. The library room was dark but I heard some voices, one was Kiba and the other one was coming from a girl, as I peeked at the small opening on the door, I saw Tamaki on top of one of the tables, naked on the lower portion and her school blouse opened. I watched them doing things—kissing, moving, pushing and pulling, and stuff—awkwardly and silently.

"Oh! Faster Kiba! Deeper! Yes! Oooh! Move it, Baby! Yeah! " I heard Tamaki silently mewl.

"Oh yeah! Oh! Oh! Come on! Tamaki, baby. Rock it, baby! Oh! I'm coming! Yeah! "

It hurts me so much. After that incident, I never talk to Kiba again. He never knew the reason why I have been acting strange around him.

Then after two more years, I moved away from everyone back home. It was all Kiba's fault, why I had a fight with my father that day.

"What the hell are you trying to prove?!" my father shouted at me the moment I entered the house.

"What are you talking about, Father?" I asked afraid of my shouting father.

"What am I talking about?!" he exclaimed with sarcasm in his voice, "Tamaki told me that you are having sex with Kiba!"

"What?! I will never do that Father, you know that!" and now I am shouting back too, "I will never engage myself with such activities without marriage."

"Who are you trying to fool, Hinata?! Yourself?! I am already old and I know what is happening to the generation nowadays! Never ever try to speak with me with that tone, Hinata!" he barks at me. I can still remember the horror on my mother's face that time, and how she pleaded with her eyes for me to stop. But I just can't do that.

"If you don't want to believe in me, fine! I am leaving this house!" at that moment, I remembered Sakura's offer to me—to move to Konohagakure, the city of progress. I swiftly ran toward my room and got all my things with my saved money.

"You step out of this house, and you will never be part of this family! Ever! You heard me Hinata?!" I heard my father yell at me, as I approached the door.

For the last time, I spoke to them. "I am your real daughter but you never trust me, instead you trust my step-sister, that whore, that bitch, Tamaki! She is the one who is having sex with Kiba in the library. I saw it with my own eyes, but I never told you, because I know that it might also end up like this. If I knew something like this would happen, I should have told you earlier the truth." I faced them. Sorrow was visible in their countenance; I stared straightly into my father's lavender eyes and move my eyes toward my crying mother. "I love you both, and all I want is your trust." With that, I run in the direction of Sakura's house.

She never thought of the time. When she finished having herself cleaned, she realized that she has nothing to wear. She gets her stuff, her blue tube dress, bra, and underwear. She immediately gets herself dressed. When she gets her purse from the bedside table, she noticed a scented blue card that has cursive handwriting; it must be Naruto's, who else it might be?

I never want to wake you up. You look so beautiful in your sleep. By the by, I am so happy about last night. Thank you. I hope to see you again, call me.

-Naruto

He also written down his number below, I think I need to call him. After getting her phone, she dialed his number and called him.

"Namikaze." Said the voice from the other line; she doesn't know what to say. Hinata remained silent when Naruto spoke again with a pissed tone in his voice, "Who is this? If you won't talk, I will put this down."

With that she answered. "Wait. It is me, Hinata."

She heard the other line let go of a sigh. "Oh. Hinata, I thought you'd never call. What is the problem?"

"Nothing. I just tried to call. Thank you. I will just call you again, later."

"Sayonara Hinata."

"Sayonara Naruto." With that, she put her phone down and started to walk.

She wandered around the house. It was all white and tiled. Just the sight of the place can identify the type of man Naruto is. This really is a bachelor's pad. It is a two-story house with four bedrooms and a shower room on each of the second level. On the first floor, the library was visible on the left wing of the house. In the middle is the living room with a family-size sofa. At the right wing is a three-step stair to the dining area and kitchen. What caught her attention most is the forest-like veranda in the backyard. It was separated from the living area by a glass convertible wall.

It was so peaceful that moment when she heard her phone ring. Someone is calling her. She moved her hands so fast to get the call, when she saw the name, she remembered everything.
