[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

“Naruto’s coming back today!” Hinata was overjoyed.
“yeah, he was supposed to be gone for a couple years. Now is about the time he is supposed to come back.” Sakura said. “I would wait at home for him in my sexiest outfit if I were you” Sakura giggled.
“you know…I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately…maybe I should” Hinata said.
“I was joking Hinata, you’re only what? Fifteen? don’t give up your virginity yet!” Sakura shouted. Hinata blushed deeply, she loved Naruto more than anything else in the world…and he was returning to her today. She knew something should have been waiting for Naruto when he came back, meeting him otherwise would be rather bland.
“Sakura?” Hinata’s voice quivered as she spoke.
“yeah?” Sakura said.
“could you help me…get ready for when Naruto comes back?” Hinata looked at her feet. Sakura laughed.
“I don’t know, what’s in it for me?” said Sakura.
“well…I have nothing to offer you” Hinata was slightly ashamed.
“okay, but when Sasuke comes back I want you to do the same thing for me” Sakura smiled at Hinata. Hinata looked at Sakura and smiled back.
“thank you Sakura!” Hinata hugged her.

Sakura took Hinata to a richer part of town where the stores carried expensive items. First they entered a clothing store. Hinata still carried the memory of the dress that Kiba had bought for her here. She still had the dress, though it had gotten too small for her. Hinata’s body had changed quite a bit since Naruto had left. For one, she had grown out her hair. Another detail, albeit not by her will, her body had filled out nicely, her breasts filled her coat, in fact they were larger than the other two girls of the rookie nine. Her hips had also become wider and her waist thinner. Hinata had blossomed into quite a woman.
“first you need a new dress” Sakura went through the racks searching for the perfect one. She had pulled out several she liked and asked Hinata to try them on.
Hinata tried several sets of clothes, Sakura never finding one completely perfect. Hinata sorted through her fourth set of dresses before coming across a white Kimono. Flowers were embroidered along the edges of the garment. Lilies, irises, roses, cherry blossoms.
This would be Hinata’s dress…she didn’t care what Sakura said.
She emerged from the dressing room and Sakura grinned from ear to ear, then looked at Hinata quizzically.
“I don’t remember picking out a dress like that one. Are you sure you didn’t steal it from another room?” Sakura asked.
“yes, it was in the middle of the stack” Hinata said.
“no matter” Sakura smiled “it’s beautiful, Naruto is gonna’ go crazy!”
Hinata smiled and blushed, she changed into her street clothes and folded the delicate dress into a bag. After buying it they went to the market.

“we need to buy something really tasty for Naruto’s homecoming dinner. What do you think he would like?” Sakura said.
“I think we already know” Hinata and Sakura laughed together.
“if that’s the case, lets get some nice gourmet noodles, not those crappy fast food noodles” Sakura said.
Hinata had some fancy ramen made and put into a jug for heating up later.
“okay, I think we have everything for Naruto, let’s go to your place and get things ready over there.” Sakura said, they hurried to Naruto’s house.

They hurried in to get things ready. It was only a couple of hours before Naruto made it back.
“Hinata, heat up the Ramen, I’ll get a chair ready” Sakura ordered. Hinata complied, putting the ramen into a pot and turning on the flame on the stove.
Sakura, with the great strength the Hokage taught her to use, moved a large seat in front of the door. She shot to the phone and called the flower shop, Ino answered.
“this is the Yamanaka flower shop” Ino greeted over the phone.
“Ino, can you deliver a lot of flowers to Naruto’s house tonight?” asked Sakura.
“of course Sakura, what sort?” said Ino.
“doesn’t matter, just make sure they’re fresh” Sakura ordered.
Perhaps a half an hour went by and Ino came with the flowers. She and Sakura arranged them on the chair, pinning the flowers on if they refused to stay. Sakura worked a violet into Hinata’s hair.
They worked so hard that Sakura forgot what time it was! Naruto would be arriving in just fifteen minutes!
“Hinata, sit on the chair and wait here!” Sakura ordered.

Naruto walked alongside the ero-sennin, ready and very willing to return to Konoha village after so long. He wondered how all his friends were doing and what they looked like, especially Hinata. Because he moved around so much it was very difficult for him to get any mail from her. He received no pictures while he was away.
He saw a girl perhaps his age waiting near the gates. As he came closer he recognized Sakura waiting for him.
“Naruto!” she shouted and ran to him. Hugging him hard.
“Sakura” Naruto blushed and hugged her back, he remembered his old crush on her, before Hinata confessed her feelings “how have you been?”
“I’ve been excellent Naruto! But instead of asking about me, you should be asking about someone else, someone you know very well” Sakura looked at Naruto.
“wait…Hinata…is she all right? What happened?” Naruto was all of a sudden very concerned, perhaps something bad had happened to his lover while he was gone?
“no no no! Hinata is fine, we’ve worked hard all day to make sure you’re comeback to her is perfect! Come on!”
Sakura grabbed Naruto’s arm and led him home.

Sakura let Naruto in first, as soon as the door opened the smell of fancy ramen poured from the doorway. Naruto laid eyes on Hinata…she was surrounded by flowers, they were on her white dress, one in her hair, and all around her on the chair she was sitting on. The room was lit dimly, and brightly where Hinata sat.
Naruto ran to Hinata and pulled her out of the chair to kiss her and hug her. But Hinata started to feel dizzy and sleepy.
“what’s going on?” Hinata thought. She heard a thump and blacked out.

Hinata could slowly see the blurry sight of Naruto’s ceiling come into vision in front of her. Soon Naruto’s head appeared in front of her. Sakura was also bent over her face.
“are you all right Hinata?” asked Naruto.
Sakura smiled “I must have been really overwhelmed”
“I don’t blame you Hinata” Naruto grinned “I almost cried”
Sakura and Hinata giggled and looked into his eyes like they did so long ago. Naruto snaked his arms about Hinata and laid down on her on the bed. Hinata put her hands on the back of Naruto’s neck and brought her head up to kiss him. So long had she wanted his lips. She kissed him slowly and sweetly. They had forgotten Sakura was in the room with them. She mumbled something about wishing her boyfriend would come back to her and left the room.
When they broke the kiss apart Naruto said “I remember someone who kisses like that, you’re definitely Hinata Hyuuga” they giggled and kissed again. Naruto’s hands explored Hinata’s new body.
Hinata broke the kiss and blushed. “Naruto, do you like what I’ve become?” she said.
“You’re even more beautiful…do you like what I am now?” he answered.
“of course!” Hinata threw her arms around Naruto and kissed him passionately.
“there’s so much we’ve missed Naruto…” Hinata said after they kissed.
“I know…but that doesn’t mean we cant enjoy each other, right?” Naruto rubbed Hinata’s nose with his own, she blushed and smiled a little. Naruto had seemed to be more calmed down since their relationship began. He wasn’t as loud and obnoxious anymore. Hinata sort of missed it, but she loved his sweet side as well.
“Naruto…remember our promise? About camping at the rocks?” Hinata whispered.
“oh yeah! I do remember!” Naruto said and grinned. “let me sleep just a couple nights in our own bed before we head out camping. The Ero-sennin isn’t too good at choosing inns”
Hinata giggled “okay” she kissed him as he took her into his arms and carried her to the bed. He laid her down and sat on the bed next to her. His joints popped as he laid down.
“oh Naruto! That sounded awfully painful!” Hinata said. She stroked his cheek.
“see what I mean?” Naruto grumbled, taking off his shirt and laying down on the bed.
“let me help you with that” she whispered. Hinata straddled Naruto’s back and kneaded her hands into his flesh. Opening up chakra lines to flow more effectively. Occasionally she would cause a joint in his spine to pop, she gave a small gasp and asked if he was alright.
“I’m fine Hinata, keep going” Naruto smiled and laid his head on the soft pillow. Hinata blushed and smiled, continuing the sensual massage.
Naruto’s muscles eventually got softer and Hinata slowed her hands to a stop, lying down on Naruto’s back and slipping her arms underneath him. She kissed on the back of his neck. She wanted, after so long, to feel him again, to know the warmth that kept her alive.
Naruto rolled over and on top of Hinata. He smiled and kissed her slowly, on her lips, down her cheek, then onto her neck. Hinata gripped his back as his lips tantalized her neck and collarbone.
She breathed Naruto’s name. Naruto breathed onto her shoulder. More of a yawn than a breath, really. Naruto soon fell asleep with Hinata in his arms. Hinata giggled and nestled into Naruto’s arms.
“Good night, Naruto” she said

They both slept in that day. Not bothering to set an alarm clock last night. They both stirred slowly, looking into each other’s eyes for along time before they left bed and got dressed.
Hinata hurried downstairs while Naruto took his first hot shower in a long time. Naruto washed his body and hair quickly to join Hinata downstairs.
Hinata had got a cute apron when Naruto was gone, and she was wearing it while cooking breakfast for both of them.
“good morning Hinata, whatcha cookin’?”
“Steamed rice and pancakes” Hinata giggled. Naruto hugged her from behind and kissed the top of her head.
“you go up and have a shower, I’ll finish this up” he said.
Hinata went to take a shower and Naruto finished up the pancakes, he had Hinata’s plate ready when she came back down, her long hair had to be bound in a towel to dry properly.
“Naruto, that smells delicious!” Hinata said.
“it does” Naruto smiled “your plate’s ready, get the syrup out”
She did so and had her breakfast. Naruto got his rice and pancakes ready.
“so, are we going to camp at the rocks tonight?” asked Naruto.
“I didn’t think you were ready yet” Hinata giggled and put her arms around Naruto.
“well, I cant wait, I’m gonna’ pack everything so you don’t have to, believe it!” Naruto gave Hinata a thumbs up. Hinata smiled.
“yes Naruto, show me how strong you’ve become” Hinata said. Kissing his cheek.
Naruto set to work gathering all the camping materials into a large bag, then strapping the everything onto his back. Hinata was amazed, when they camped up at the rocks Naruto and Hinata had to split the materials in half to carry them all. But now it seemed Naruto had no problem with it all by himself!
“Naruto…that’s amazing!” Hinata said.
“haha, see? I’m a lot stronger now” Naruto grinned and showed that the pack didn’t handicap him in any way. He leapt high into the air, the speedy way to travel anywhere.
Hinata gawked for a moment, shaking herself out of amazement she followed.
Naruto landed near the tallest rock and started unpacking soon before Hinata landed nearby and hugged him.
“Naruto, that was so amazing, you’re so strong!” she said to him.
“thank you Hinata” he kissed her cheek sweetly.
She continued to hold him for a moment before letting go.
“I’m going to start the fire” she said, and walked toward the pit they dug for their fires. Hinata took some logs from a pile they had saved and lit them up using sparks from her kunai and a flint.
Naruto finished up the tent and went inside to set up their sleeping bags and such. Hinata spread a blanket out for them to enjoy the fire on.
By the time Naruto exited the tent, Hinata had the fire going. She was looking at it. She turned and smiled when Naruto came out. The light the fire created played on her face and made her hair sparkle, gods she was beautiful.
Naruto came to her side and put his arm around her, they laid back on the blanket Hinata had spread out and kissed each other passionately, as lovers who have not seen each other for a long time are wont to do.
“Naruto, promise me you’ll never leave me again” she whispered. Naruto frowned.
“what’s the matter?” she asked.
“Hinata, I’m sorry, you know I can’t promise that. I left because I needed to focus on training so I would be strong enough to help someone. I couldn’t let anything distract me from that, not even you.”
Hinata’s eyes welled up with tears a little.
“I know It’s been hard for you, waiting for me with nothing you can do and no way to speak with me. And I know that knowing that I might leave again is even harder. But I’ll always return to you”
Hinata’s tears began to flow “but Naruto…I don’t know if I could handle it a second time”
Naruto looked into her eyes “Hinata, I know you can, you’re so strong. Not in your body…you strength lies here” Naruto pointed at Hinata’s breast, but she knew where he was really pointing.
Hinata smiled, her tears turning to happiness.
“oh Naruto!” he threw herself on him with joy. Naruto soon joined her. They held in the firelight, weeping tears of joy.

I feel Hinata’s pain…
