Originally, this revision was going to be one chapter, but the amount of content I added was too large for one chapter. Rather than have another situation with two months of calm (which was one chapter that was over 50,000 words), I decided to split what would have been 46,000 words into four separate chapters in order to make it easier for myself to edit and for readers to read.

For those who have not read the original versions, they can ignore this note.


Chapter 7 love doesn't have to be rational

The day after the shy girl squad's victory

Hinata had no idea what she was going to wear as of yesterday. Naruto is her boyfriend, and they were just going to go on lunch; it was their day off, but she had no idea what to wear. She was in a dilemma. She heard a knock. When she opened it, she saw it was none other than Annette and Mercedes.

"Is this a bad time, Hina?" asked Annette, noticing the room was a mess.

"I'm sorry, I just can't find anything to wear. Naruto-kun and I are supposed to be going on our date, and I don't know what to wear. I mean..." Hinata felt foolish having to explain this to her friends from the Blue Lions.

"I'm pretty sure he'll be satisfied with anything you wear, Hina," Mercedes said reassuringly. It didn't help her feel better, though; she had no idea what to wear. The girls shut the door to give the three of them privacy. Mercedes noticed a plain-looking dress. She picked it up and inspected it. Hinata was embarrassed looking at it. It was so plain. She only brought it because it was comfortable and something to wear on a casual day off when she didn't want to wear the academy uniform.

"I think this would work fine." Mercedes said, which caused Hinata to blink.

"I can't wear this, it's so plain. Naruto Kun would think I'm just plain looking with this on." Hinata said. Mercedes shook her head.

"Hina, I think Naruto would find you beautiful in anything you wear." Annette said, trying to cheer her up regarding her dress, the only one that she had brought from her homeland.

"In all honesty, I actually like this dress, Hina. I wish I could fit in it. I'm too tall to fit in this dress. It looks so comfortable." Mercedes said, smiling at the thought of herself in a dress like this. She thought the pink and gray color combination was a terrible mix, but it was comfortable, and better yet, men didn't pay attention to her when she wore this dress.

"I suppose, but I would rather wear something better than this dress. It's ugly, and I would like to look beautiful on my first date with Naruto-kun." Hinata said as she held her dress close to her chest.

"It's under a short notice, but I have something that can do the trick. Get dressed in your dress that you have in your hands. I'll go to my dorm and grab what will help you immensely." said Annette as she left Hinata and Mercedes alone for the moment.

Hinata got undressed from her nightgown from the previous night. It didn't take long for her to get into her dress that she wears on her days off in Konoha. When she was done, Mercedes looked at her with admiration.

"I could see why you wear as modest clothing as possible. I'd be lying if I said I'm not a little jealous of your body." Mercedes had no words to say. Hinata had no idea what to say about her body. She never thought anything of it. She was told by many of her peers that they were jealous of her body.

"You have a beautiful body, Hina. You have nothing to be ashamed of," Mercedes said, not with jealousy but with admiration.

"You don't give yourself enough credit, Mercie Chan. You're beautiful yourself. You have legions of admirers that rival me and Dorothea." Hinata said as she sat across from her, waiting for Annette to come to her room.

"Most of those men look at the most superficial aspects of me and nothing else," Mercedes said, almost with clenched teeth.

"You don't like your own admirers?" Hinata asked, surprised by her annoyed expression.

"The only thing they want is what they all want. They want me because of my crest, nothing more. These superficial men don't care about me as a person." Mercedes said with a bitterness she wasn't familiar with. She hadn't been well-versed in the crest system, and she hadn't asked Marianne about it because it bothered her. Would it really hurt to ask Mercedes about it? Before she could even ask her question, Annette came in the door, which stopped the conversation in its tracks.

Annette had makeup on her face; it was nothing that she was familiar with. She knew Annette loved using it on her face to make herself look prettier. Hinata didn't particularly care to do so, but anything that would make Naruto look at her more favorably, she would do it.

"I don't know, Ann. I really don't think Hina really needs makeup. I think she's beautiful regardless of whether she has makeup on or not." Mercedes said, generally meaning it. Hinata looks at Mercedes and can't help but think that she would look beautiful without it as well. She doesn't want Annette to waste all of her efforts, so she waited patiently as she allowed her to do her work. When she was done, she saw herself in the mirror. She didn't do much to put makeup on her face; it was just a touch here and there.

"Not much was needed, actually. You look beautiful even without makeup, Hina. I can't imagine if we managed to find a dress for you with the makeup that you're currently wearing, you'd be irresistible." Annette said with a smile, thinking about how to make Hinata even more beautiful than she already is.

"I don't know, I think it's a little overboard. I think I'm fine how I look now." Hinata said, turning away in embarrassment. She wondered what Naruto was doing at the moment. Was he as nervous as she was?

When she was done, she bid farewell to her friends as they left her dorm. Before she left her dorm, she made sure to grab her basket that she had brought with her from Konoha, which had all the ingredients she would need to cook the lunch she had in mind for her and Naruto. She hoped that everything could go right today. She had to make it perfect. She had something special planned for the end. She hoped Naruto would be receptive to it. She thought about what her father would think if he knew what she had planned tonight. She had a smile on her face. She would do everything her father hated, and that's what made it the most satisfying. And what made it even better was that it was with Naruto, the person her father hates.

Though she has to cook her and Naruto's lunch, she went to the cafeteria and asked the chefs if she could borrow their cooking space. they gave the okay and Hinata started cooking their lunch.

Naruto was looking for any kind of clothes to wear. He couldn't wear his orange jumpsuit on a date; that would be terrible. He was looking through his entire room. It was a mess; it looked like a bomb had dropped.

" calm down, Kit, you're just going on lunch." Said Kyubi, annoyed with Naruto's panicking over the littlest things.

He was getting annoyed with his Fox companion. He wanted to make his first date the best he could possibly make it. He had never been on a date before, and he had no experience. He wanted to make Hinata know that she was not wasting her time by giving him a chance. What seemed like an eternity, which was actually 20 minutes, he found what he was looking for: the casual clothes that he normally wears on his day off in Konoha.

"Perfect," Naruto said with a smile. He quickly got dressed and left his dorm. All the girls were looking at him in the monastery.

"Is that Naruto?" asked a woman with short brown hair who was in her early twenties.

"Yes." Said a black-haired girl around the age of 18, who had short hair like her peer next to her.

"Damn, he's hot, and Hinata is the one he's going out with. I should've asked him when I had the chance." The brown-haired woman said regretfully. Naruto ignored her shallow fangirls; the last thing he wanted to deal with.

He saw other women looking at him as well, who looked like they wanted a piece of him. They looked at him as a piece of meat, much to Kyubi's amusement.

" Your fan club puts Sasuke's to shame, it seems. Well, I guess it was unavoidable." Kyubi said with a chuckle.

Naruto ignored him and went to where him and Hinata had agreed to meet the previous day. it was near the cafeteria they weren't going to eat there but that's where they were going to meet though what was he and Hinata going to eat for lunch? he had no idea he felt like an idiot.

It wouldn't be long for him to wait when he saw Hinata, who looked really nervous. She looked down as if hiding her face. Naruto did not understand why she was doing that.

"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun. I wanted to look beautiful on our date, and I couldn't find anything suitable. I'm sorry if I look so plain." Hinata said with embarrassment. He looked at her face; he could tell she was wearing makeup. In his eyes, she looked absolutely amazing, even without makeup. Hinata was like a goddess.

"Hm, where are we going?" Naruto asked nervously. He had no experience going on dates and wasn't familiar with the surrounding areas outside of the monastery. They had only been out of the monastery once since his transfer from Konoha. Hinata pointed at a location nearby. There were tables, and it was outside and isolated from where all the students were. They walked in silence. When they were done, they went to the furthest table and sat across from each other. Naruto had no idea what to say or what to do. He had never been alone with Hinata this long. Usually, when he was with her, it was with her teammates, especially that one time on the beetle mission. He blushed when he thought about that mission. When he saw how strong she was, he was mesmerized by her. He knew when he was 12 that he could never see Sakura out like that ever. That was 5 years ago when they were straight out of the academy when teammate and team 7 were going on missions together for the first time. To Naruto, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Naruto had no idea what to say. He felt like an idiot. He heard his fox companion telling him to say something, anything.

"The weather certainly is nice, isn't it?" Hinata said, trying to stir up a conversation.

"It certainly is," Naruto replied.

Naruto and Hinata were eating in silence. Naruto wanted to say something, anything. He didn't want his girlfriend to be bored, but he didn't know about dates. He felt like an idiot; it should be obvious.

"So, how are your classes, Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked.

"I really enjoy my time here; the people in the Black Eagles are good people, well, there are some I would rather not be around, but other than that, they're all good people. Edel-chan is a great friend; I'm glad I was able to meet her again after 7 years," Hinata said happily. He wanted to know about how Hinata and Edelgard met, so he decided he would ask another time.

"I feel the same way; I actually really like it here in the Golden Deer. I actually never enjoyed going to class until I came here. Yeah, I may have to deal with Kakashi Sensei as my professor, but that's not so bad. My classmates, with the exception of one, are fun to hang out with. It's everything that I wish I would have had back home." Naruto said, without realizing the loneliness that he had on his face, how, for the first time, he didn't have to keep his guard up.

"I hated the academy; the students were cruel, and the teachers were also cruel. They played favorites with students that performed better than others but didn't bother helping those who performed poorly. No matter how good my grades were, my father didn't think they were good enough. Here, at least, I'm away from judgmental eyes." Hinata replied honestly, which surprised Naruto, as he did not expect this from Hinata.

" Foolish boy, you've been friends for years, but there's still things about her that you don't know. Obviously, she doesn't want to reveal her true feelings about how she feels about the things that she encountered while she was growing up. It should be quite obvious that, for the first time in her life, she's able to express herself without fear of reprisal." Kyubi said to Naruto, giving his own insight on why Hinata felt the way she did.

"I hated the academy too; the teachers were assholes. I was glad to be done with it. Though I do wonder sometimes, is being the Hokage truly something I want?" Naruto asked out loud, not realizing he wasn't speaking to himself in his head.

"You don't need to be Hokage, Naruto-kun, to prove anything to anyone. You've always been someone I've admired, long before you became a Shinobi. You never let anything get you down; you're proud, a failure now, until you've always been most people. If they were in your shoes, they would have given up, but you haven't." Hinata's cheeks were turning pink. He thought she was cute when she did that; he always did, and the way she was twiddling with her fingers, an old habit that she had broken years ago.

"You're so cute," Naruto said, smiling, which caused Hinata to blush even more.

"Please, Naruto-kun, I'm going to die of embarrassment," she said as she covered her face with both of her hands. But Naruto got close to her and removed them. No matter how many times he had seen her blushing face, he could not help but find her cute and beautiful.

"I'm at your mercy, my Hime. Your cuteness will be the death of me," Naruto said, which caused the fox companion side of him to cringe. Hinata giggled at Naruto's comment as she kissed him, not caring about anybody else. The world did not exist to them.

Then Naruto thought maybe their first date didn't have to be all fancy after all. They didn't have to say anything; they could just be in each other's company. He stopped thinking about how to make Hinata happy and decided just to enjoy her company because to him that was enough, and to Hinata, that was enough.

After they were done eating, they both decided to go to one of the courtyards in the monastery and decided to lay down their backs, looking at the sky. Naruto held Hinata's hand. This was a good day, he thought. Nothing fancy, but that's not so bad. He thought about other ways he could make Hinata happy, little did he know Hinata had plans on how to end their date.

Sasuke and Mercedes were currently in the cathedral. Mercedes was currently praying. Sasuke never said anything when she prayed to the goddess out of respect for her religious traditions. When she was done, she got up and smiled at Sasuke. They sat on the bench in the back. There was nobody in the cathedral at the moment, which was fine by Sasuke, especially if it meant avoiding those annoying fan girls.

"It's such a shame, Sasuke-kun, that people don't appreciate the beauty of this place, the place where we're sitting. It's where the Four Saints were formed when they went on their quest with Seiros to free the land from a tyrant whose name has long since faded from time. There's so much history here, and the students just don't appreciate it. I mean, they're offered an opportunity of a lifetime, yet..." Mercedes looked where the light was shining at the center of where a priest is usually reading scripture. Sasuke had never attended a service before, even back home, but this was different from the Sage of Six Paths ceremonies; this was different.

"I agree that it's a wasted opportunity of a lifetime; it's not often that you get to visit a foreign land with a foreign culture and customs. I think it's a waste not experiencing these things; most people back home will never have a chance to even see this place or appreciate its beauty. It's such a waste that none of the Konoha transfers, except myself, Naruto, and Hinata-san, even come here. There's so much history; I've only scratched the surface. It would take an entire lifetime to learn about the culture here." Sasuke looked at Mercedes, who had a smile on her face. She was happy that he cared.

"I appreciate you doing this, Sasuke-kun. I know these may be boring to you, but I appreciate it nevertheless." Mercedes said with a warm smile. He saw something in her eyes, loneliness, he thought. This was strange, considering Annette being her best friend, and Hinata being a really good friend to her. He had to say something to let her know that he wasn't bored; he actually enjoyed being in her company and doing the religious activities that she does on a weekly basis. He couldn't say anything; the words wouldn't leave his mouth. He forced them out; he couldn't let her get the wrong idea.

"I'm not bored; I can never be bored when I'm with you. I actually am enjoying myself. If I were by myself, it would be different, but since I'm with you, it's different." Sasuke admitted that the one thing he wouldn't tell her was that this wasn't the first time he attended the weekly ceremony of the Church of Seiros. He did it every Sunday when he first came to the monastery. When he laid his eyes on Mercedes for the first time, though, he didn't know how he would tell her that. He was bored when he first came, but seeing Mercedes, her smile, her beautiful smile, and her happily reading the scriptures in front of everyone—that's what Sasuke came in for, to hear her read the scriptures. But it was different now that he was in the audience with her.

"That's so sweet of you to say, Sasuke Kun. Thank you, I appreciate it." Mercedes said, smiling. Every time he saw her smile, it was different. This one was an appreciation. Did her admirers really not see the beautiful woman in front of them? Did they only see the superficial things? It made Sasuke angry that none of the men in the monastery who showed any interest in her even tried to do what he was doing. He wanted to take it a step further, but he was afraid of looking like an idiot. He wanted to read the scriptures out loud, despite not knowing them and not being a believer, but he really wanted to be part of this event with his friend. However, he didn't want to do it in a superficial way.

Rhea, the archbishop herself, appeared. She smiled warmly at everyone and then looked at Sasuke especially. Then she started to speak.

"Welcome to our weekly ceremony of the church. It is an honor to be here. I am the servant of the people. For this great institution that has served many in the millennia, I would like to welcome our new guest, Sasuke Uchiha." Rhea said warmly. At Sasuke, he felt nervous. Was he really the only new guest? He looked around. He couldn't show his nervousness, though. He had to be respectful. He couldn't make himself look like a fool or embarrass his friend. This was a sacred time for her, and he wouldn't defile it in any way.

Rhea started reading passages out loud, and he saw his friend listen intently. Sasuke did the same, listening to the stories of the goddess and her children. He heard Mercedes explain these stories in their talks, but it was not the same as hearing someone read them out loud. He was caught in a trance. There were many people in the service that he recognized, the most recognizable among them was the blue-haired girl Marianne, along with a few others. He didn't believe in the goddess, but he couldn't help but admire the ceremony and the words from the holy book. Part of him wanted to read himself, but the main joy that he gets out of listening to these scriptures is hearing his friend read them to him. Something about when Mercedes says it is different than how he hears it from others.

He enjoys her company. He enjoys doing whatever she wants with him, and this is what she usually does on her day off. He was seeing more and more sides of her every day. Back home, the fan girls would be disappointed if they knew the kind of woman that he preferred to have in his company. He didn't care that those girls were shallow and they didn't give him the time of day beyond shallow, surface-level things like his looks. Mercedes was special; she wanted to be around him because she wanted to know him, the real Sasuke, not the Sasuke that he projects onto others.

When Rhea was done, she looked around for anyone who would be willing to read another one of the scriptures. It wasn't required to volunteer and read the scriptures out loud; it was completely optional. The priest or nun of the day would continue reading the passages that were relevant to the lesson for the day. Sasuke felt too nervous to even volunteer, but, like everything else about Mercedes, she amazed him when she volunteered.

From what he could gather from the looks of the audience, they weren't surprised that this was something she did frequently. Sasuke had seen that himself. She didn't have stage fright like Marianne did, who never read out loud. He had seen Dimitri do it a few times, but none of them compared to the woman that was reading the passage about the goddess blessing her children. He had heard the story so many times, but it never got old when he listened to it. He wanted to ask Mercedes what this passage meant. It told about her giving her wisdom to her children about love and duty, and how they were interchangeable. To not know the difference is to do wrong by your duty, and love is choosing the welfare of an individual over a nation or a family. There were so many different ways to look at it, but Sasuke didn't know which one was the correct one.

Regarding duty and love, they could be connected in one way or another, but there are times when they clash, where duty could be the death of love, or love could be the death of duty. However, the passage also talks about hate. Sasuke understood this; the passage was simple yet difficult to understand unless you read it multiple times. Perhaps this is because he's a non-believer. If he were to convert to the meaning, would it be different?

When she was done, she walked towards him and sat down. This question was burning in him; he would have to ask her later when they ever had the time. Right now, this was his time with his friend, unlike the last time he came here before befriending her. He's learned something new, despite hearing the same passage every Sunday since he arrived.

His own duty of vengeance is no different from the duty of love. At least, that's what he thinks. Though he doesn't believe that is likely the correct interpretation, he shoved the thought for now and decided to focus on the ceremony.

Hinata was extremely nervous; she couldn't believe she was actually going to do this. The sun was setting, and she didn't want their date to end yet; she wanted to end it on a high note. They were on their way back, and Hinata had something in mind that she wanted to do as another way to take advantage of the freedom that she now has.

"If you don't mind, Naruto-kun, I'd like to end our date on a high note." Hinata said seductively, causing Naruto to blush.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked naively, and she loved that about him; he had no idea what she had in mind.

"I was thinking we could go to your dorm tonight." Hinata said with a low whisper, causing Naruto to shiver in excitement. She couldn't deny what Hilda said regarding her looks. Hinata could do any man she wanted if she wanted to. She had Naruto wrapped around her finger; it was exciting in a way. What she had in mind, she was going to have them have a night they wouldn't forget. The best thing about it was that nobody could stop her, not even her father.

"What would you like to do there?" Naruto asked naively. She loved that about Naruto; he could be so innocent.

"Let's just say it'll be something that we will both enjoy." Hinata said in a sexy, seductive voice as she reached her hand underneath his shirt. She couldn't believe she was doing it. The normally shy girl had never had this much courage before. Naruto was more shy than she was in this situation.

"Okay," Naruto said, not really understanding what she wanted. It didn't matter to her; he didn't need to know yet. They held each other's hands as they passed people they knew from their classes until they reached Naruto's dorm, located on the part of the monastery near the gardens. She was quivering with excitement and nervousness as they got closer and closer to his dorm. When they were at the entrance, Naruto opened the door, and Hinata looked at his room, which was disorganized and messy, but nothing she hadn't seen before. Naruto looked embarrassed.

"Sorry, it kind of looks like a mess." Naruto said nervously.

Hinata closed the door and locked it, performing a sound-sealed jutsu so that no one would be able to hear what she and Naruto were about to do.

"It doesn't really matter, actually. Where we are, nobody's going to pay attention unless they want to be castrated." Hinata said as she pushed Naruto onto his bed. He was surprised by her assertiveness.

She was on top of him, and Hinata was going to do something she hadn't done before up until this point, but it didn't matter; nobody would be watching them. She started to kiss his neck; Naruto was completely helpless. He had no idea how to react.

She felt something in his crotch and knew exactly what that was.

"Oh, you're being a really bad boy, aren't you?" Hinata said as she removed his jacket and threw it to the floor. Naruto, now knowing what she had in mind, let Hinata have her way with him. She removed his shirt completely, exposing his ripped stomach and chest. She would normally die of embarrassment, but she was pleased that she was the only one seeing his amazing body.

She felt Naruto's skin with her hands. This wasn't the first time she had seen him with his shirt off, but up close, alone, with no one to stop her, to get what she wanted, it was different. She licked his nipple, which caused him to moan. She went lower, where his hands were, and removed them slowly, as if to savor the moment. She knew Naruto's lack of clothing would make things awkward because she was the only one still fully clothed, but she wanted to savor the moment.

"Oh God, Hinata-chan," Naruto moaned as she touched his crotch area, playing around with it. She wasn't quite ready to take off his undergarments yet; she wanted him to savor this moment, just like she was. As much as he might have liked to touch his raw rod, she wanted Naruto to look strictly at her. She stopped doing what she was doing and removed the rest of his clothing, throwing it to the floor. His erection was fully erected, and it was big. She understood that it might not fit in her, but that didn't matter; she would make it fit.

Inspired by Dorothea's dance movements, she decided she was going to slowly remove her clothing to show herself off to Naruto. She couldn't believe she was doing this. She slowly removed her upper dress and dropped it to the floor, which caused Naruto to look at her with a lustful look. She did not wear a bra for this occasion for a reason. She did erotic movements like a dancer, provoking Naruto. She wanted him to truly desire her, wanting to take her time.

She slowly removed her lower sections of clothing and let them slip to the ground. The only clothing she had remaining was black underwear, which she noticed her boyfriend found sexually arousing, which pleased her due to her purposely choosing to wear a black thong. She slowly approached Naruto and crawled on the bed like a spider. Despite how she was appearing before Naruto, she was nervous, wanting to be sexually exciting for him. Naruto let her have her way with him, and she slowly went towards his erect member and stroked it. Naruto shivered at her simple touch, and she heard him say her name. It pleased her, knowing that a simple touch of her hand was enough to please her boyfriend, though she wanted more. She wanted him to squirm.

"Damn," Naruto blurted out as Hinata licked the tip of his rod. His head jerked back, and she decided to get bolder and slowly put his member inside her mouth. He felt his hands on the back of her head, and she wanted to take her time. It was only the tip at first, instead of putting it whole, she slowly licked his rod as she slowly sucked him off. She resisted her reflex to gag, not wanting to ruin their first time together. She continued to play around with his cock inside of her mouth, took it out, and spit on it, then licked his balls, which caused him to scream loudly in pleasure. She smiled, knowing that she was the one doing this and not some whore that Naruto would forget by the night's end.

She knew Naruto was about to cum, and she didn't want a single drop wasted. She felt him cum in her mouth, and she swallowed all of it, and whatever leaked out, she licked. She looked at Naruto, she let him take control.

she felt his right hand on her chest like a lustful beast Naruto sucked on her breast Naruto was neither gentle nor was he rough though she would be lying that she would refer for him to be rougher.

"Oh, please, be a little rougher," Hinata said, barely getting the words out as Naruto listened to her request. He squeezed her right breast hard with his right hand and sucked hard on her left. She didn't think it would be possible that Naruto could please her with a simple touch. Her fantasies—none them compared to the real thing.

She felt liquids come out of her breasts. She screamed, she had heard from Ino, who herself had experienced sex before, how pleasurable it felt. She didn't think she would imagine it could feel as good as she was feeling now.

"Hearing you moan is like music to my ears. Don't hold back, my Hime," Naruto said as he put his index finger underneath her underwear and started to insert his index finger into her vagina. She did not hold back as Naruto moved in and out, and it felt like torture in a way. She felt so good, but what she wanted more than anything was for his rod to be inside her. She felt something coming out and then screamed again as she released fluids that soaked her underwear. Naruto removed it and threw it across the room, fully exposing herself.

Naruto put his hand on her cheek. He wanted to say something, but she had to reassure him.

"It's all right, Naruto-kun. The pain will pass."Hinata said reassuringly. Naruto slowly inserted his member inside of her entrance. She moaned in pain. It was always painful the first time. She was told it would pass. She felt blood come out. She was happy that Naruto was her first. She felt tears fall. Naruto wiped them away with his right hand.

"Tonight, I want you to forget everything that you've been through, all the bad things. I want you to forget and only focus on me." Naruto said to her affectionately.

"The same for me, Naruto-kun. Whatever pain you've gone through, I want you to forget for this moment. Nothing else matters." Hinata said as Naruto kissed her. He was slow when he was thrusting, and she couldn't moan due to Naruto kissing her with more passion than she'd ever felt from him. At this point, it was only a day, and it was almost as if Naruto was trying to prove to her how much he cares about her. Her heartbeat rapidly, she never thought it would ever happen. She never thought she'd ever be making love with the man that she has been in love with since she was a little girl.

The pain started to reside gradually, as if reading her mind, he went faster. She grabbed tightly on his back as he continued to move in and out. The pleasure she was feeling was nothing like she imagined; it was nothing like the other things that they did together. She felt like she had gone to heaven. Naruto moaned her name as he went faster, she felt him kiss her neck. She had no idea how she was going to be able to move tomorrow, but what happened tomorrow was hardly relevant. What mattered was Naruto himself.

She was feeling herself at her limit; she knew Naruto was as well. She was disappointed it was ending so fast, but she knew that since this was their first time, they wouldn't be able to make love as long as she would have wanted. She tried to savor this moment; she tried to hold back as long as possible. She wanted the first time that she ever had an orgasm from her boyfriend to be a moment to remember. Naruto, as if reading her mind, was doing the same. She was glad she used the anti-conception jutsu; such a convenient technique at a time like this. She told him to go faster, and he did so without her saying anything, as her moaning was her speaking her mind. She couldn't think any rational thoughts; the only thing that mattered was the moment.

It was clumsy how they were making love. It was clumsy how Naruto was making love to her, but that's what made it so special. Naruto, along with Hinata, are an experience that nobody could ever claim. Their first time, this would always be their moment. Their bodies were mashing against each other; she knew the time was coming. Soon, she would cum, and so would Naruto.

"Hinata-chan" Naruto moaned as he thrust deep into her womb.

"Naruto-kun" Hinata moaned.

They both collapsed after about an hour and a half of lovemaking. She wanted to do more, but she knew they were both too tired. She smiled, and so did Naruto. They were facing each other, her hair was messy, but she didn't care, and neither did he.

"That was amazing. I can't believe we both did that," Naruto said, hiding his reddened face.

"Yes, it was quite a night to remember," Hinata smiled.

"You deserve the world, my hime. I would do anything for you," Naruto said as he buried his head on her chest. She wrapped her arms around him. She wanted to tell him she loved him, but she wasn't ready yet, not at this stage of their relationship. She heard him snoring, and he was asleep.

"I love you, Naruto-kun. I wish I could tell you while you're awake, but you always will be loved by me, as long as I live," Hinata said quietly. She felt sleep take her, and she fell asleep dreaming of the future.

2 days since the shy girl squad victory

Dorothea saw how happy Hinata was. She was smiling and laughing, and Dorothea was trying to control her jealousy. Out of all the people, why her? She wanted to be the one to make Hinata smile, to make love to her, and give her the world. What was it about Naruto that made him special? She said she would transfer to the Golden Deer, but she was reluctant to do so due to not wanting to be near Naruto, and it would likely be the end of what little she had with Hinata.

She tried to focus on the lessons that her new professor was teaching the class. It was difficult to concentrate due to her thoughts on how Hinata and Ingrid could love Naruto. What made him so special? It made her angry that Naruto didn't even give her the time of day until 2 days ago. She didn't think that someone sweet and pure like Hinata deserved someone like Naruto or her ex-Ingrid. Her heart clenched seeing Ingrid look at Naruto the way she used to look at her. She knows Ingrid still loves her, but it was difficult for her not to be bitter about their breakup because of her father wanting to use his daughter essentially to assure the family's wealth and not giving any thought to her well-being.

Despite both of them being from noble backgrounds, Hinata and Ingrid have not had an easy life. She would like to make them both smile, but it was something she can never do. Their worlds are too different. She was born in a commoner family, and a bastard at that.

After the bell rang for the period to end, she was about to get her things when Hinata approached her with her sweet smile that she had grown to adore, even on her worst days.

"Dorothea San, are you all right?" Hinata asked sweetly. Oh, she could kiss her on the lips for being so caring, but she held back.

"I'm fine, I'm just tired." Dorothea lied, hoping that Hinata's eyes wouldn't see through it.

"Are you sure? You look like you're really upset." Hinata asked, concerned.

she had no idea how to approach this. Could she tell her Hinata enough of the truth without her seeing through everything? Hinata was not someone she could lie to because of her eyes being able to see through any lies she could potentially tell.

"Do you know what it's like to love someone so much, but they feel so out of reach? The person you once were involved with, you still love them, but they also feel out of reach. Do you know that feeling?" Dorothea asked her friend as they walked.

"Yes, there's been two people that I've loved who have always been out of reach. Naruto Kun was one of those people. Up until now, I didn't think he would ever see me as anything more than a friend," Hinata answered.

What caught her off-guard was that there was another. How can she be in love with another person? Now, this doesn't make any sense. She wanted to ask who it was, but she held back. Even if she did ask, she wouldn't get the answer she wanted, so she brushed it aside.

What she wanted to know more than anything was whether she would be willing to share Naruto with another woman. That's what she wanted to ask her. She took a deep breath and decided to ask her regardless of how it sounded.

"How would you feel if someone else was in love with Naruto?" Dorothea asked her. Hinata stopped in her tracks when she heard that. Dorothea hoped she didn't say anything wrong.

"It would depend on who the person is. Are they a bad person? Are they willing to share him with me? Those are the things that would determine if I would ever share my man with anyone. I love Naruto Kun with all my heart and soul. I would die for him, but I would never give him up to anyone if they didn't feel the same way and weren't willing to share him with me." Hinata answered. This shocked her. That Hinata be willing to share Naruto with another woman?

She wanted to ask more, but she figured it wasn't the time, as they were about to get to the cafeteria. She wanted to continue this conversation another time when it was just them alone.

"Dorothea-san," Hinata said, which caused Dorothea to freeze.

"What is it, Hinata?" Dorothea asked.

"You wouldn't mind if it's just the two of us a few days from now in my quarters?" Hinata asked with a pleading look. She looked into those eyes, and she couldn't deny her request, even if she wanted to. They were so cute, she thought.

"Of course," Dorothea said with a smile. The two girls went to the cafeteria and ate in repetitive silence. She would find out one way or the other if Naruto truly deserved Hinata or Ingrid. She would find out one way or the other. She was not going to give either one of them up unless she knew for sure that Naruto would treat them well.

4 days after the shy girl squad victory

Dorothea had never been in Hinata's quarters before; it would just be the two of them alone. It was very rare that Dorothea had a chance to be alone if Hinata did to her, always being around other people. She was nervous; she wanted to kick herself. Why were her and his rules reversed all of a sudden?

Hinata is usually the one acting shy when Dorothea is the one doing it this time. No, she just took a deep breath. They're not doing anything; they're just friends. She knocked gently on the door and then saw Hinata open it. She was in a light blue nightgown, which caused Dorothea to blush due to how much skin was exposed on her upper chest.

"Thank you. Things have been so busy ever since the mock battle that I don't think we have that much time to spend, Dorothea-san," Hinata said as she closed the door. She looked around the room and saw multiple things. She looked around and saw a photo of her teammates. She looked like she was 12 years old when this picture was taken. You couldn't help but smile looking at it.

"No matter what age you are, you look so cute, Hinata," Dorothea said as she saw her friend blush.

"I'm going to die of embarrassment, Dorothea-san," Hinata said, blushing deeply. She was hiding her face with her pillow, which didn't make sense to her, but she found it cute.

Dorothea sat on her bed and gently removed the pillow. She didn't know why she wanted to be alone with Dorothea in particular when she could be spending time with her boyfriend.

"You know, it feels so good not being in the damn compound. I hate that place," Hinata said, relieved that she wasn't home, which surprised her. She didn't know anything about Konoha. She had her things from Ino, which were neither positive nor negative. She had also heard things from Shino and Kiba, but neither of them said anything specific.

"I know this is not my business, Hina, but whatever you're talking about the compound, what is it?" Dorothea asked, genuinely wanting to know.

Hinata looked like she was hesitating. She wanted to tell her, but she was reluctant because of her upbringing. "It's where my clan lives, back in Konoha. The Hyuga clan compound is where most of the clan lives, whether they're from the main branch or the branch houses," Hinata answered.

Dorothea had an idea of what she was going to talk about—a caste system within a clan. She couldn't help but feel disgusted, even in foreign lands, nobles are scum.

"You don't have to tell me anymore. Whatever your origin is, it doesn't change who you are. You're a beautiful and sweet soul, and nothing will change that," Dorothea said, their faces inches from each other, close enough for her to kiss her, but she backed off. She couldn't. She backed away, and what surprised her was that he didn't wrap his arm around her.

"If it isn't too much trouble, you wouldn't mind spending the night, would you?" Hinata asked. Dorothea couldn't say no, even if she wanted to, not to this angel that was wrapping her arms around her.

"Of course, if that's what you wish," Dorothea said with a smile. Despite her feelings towards Naruto, she enjoyed Hinata''s company, even though it was painful. What would happen afterward, she put aside the inevitable pain that she would feel and decided to live in the moment.

"You want to know another thing that I'm glad I don't have to suppress since I'm here?" Hinata asked Dorothea.

"I don't know what it is," she asked Hinata back.

Hinata got close to her ear and whispered, "That I really like girls and I'm not ashamed to admit it." Hinata said, barely able to get the words out due to her stuttering. Dorothea couldn't help but want to laugh out loud; she couldn't believe it. She was right; Hinata was bisexual. But she disregarded that thought; that doesn't mean that she has a chance, though, because of Naruto. Even if she accepts Ingrid in their relationship, it doesn't mean Naruto and Hinata would do the same for her. She pushed that thought deep into her mind; that's not why she was with Hinata now. She was there to spend time with her friend, even though she sees her as something more than that.

"Well, my shy little princess admits her deepest secrets. What else do you have that I do not know, my dear?" Dorothea said playfully, hiding her inner turmoil.

"Well, maybe I'll tell you another day, my dear diva," Hinata said as she kissed Dorothea's forehead. This caught her by surprise, then she felt Hinata place her head on her chest, and just like that, she fell asleep. She couldn't have believed Hinata had talked her into this. Her peaceful look on her face; it was not fair.

"If only you knew, Hinaa. As irrational as it is, I love you," Dorothea said as she closed her eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep
