Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Caught part one The Goddess ❯ Chapter 11

this is somewhat ridiculous, much like his owning a Kimono, but its hard to have a sky girl and an oblivious guy `get it on'. ITS NOT AN EASY THING TO DO WHILE KEEPING THEM IN CHARACTER

 

Luckily for Naruto he ordered okonomiyaki(Japanese pizza) topped with chunks of cooked shrimp. Hinata's sushi roll was topped with bright orange, green, and black sauce, giving it a very nice presentation that Naruto couldn't help but look at. If sushi looked that cool, then maybe it wasn't so bad. With her sushi roll came a small plate with five decent sided pieces of uncooked fish and a small round dish of some kind of black sauce.

 

All in all their food was delicious.

 

Though Naruto was more interested in the small moans that escaped Hinata's throat when she took an exceptionally delicious bite.

 

It didn't take long for both plates to gleam in the light from the chandeliers. They managed to eat every bite.

 

Both satisfied, and ready to dive into a food coma, left the restaurant, after Naruto paid and left a decent tip that is.

 

Their walk was anything but dull. Their laughter could be heard throughout the village, or so Hinata thought. It was mainly narutos loud obnoxious chortle that echoed down the streets, since Hinata was one for giggles, but she had her moments.

 

Like now.

 

“And then she turned around and came face to face with kakashi's butt.” He started laughing harder. “I…thought…she…was going…to…pass out.” He gasped between laughs.

 

Hinata couldn't help the laugh that escaped her throat. It wasn't loud like Narutos, as a matter of fact it sounded similar to her giggle, just a little louder.

 

To both party's disappointment they had reached the gate to the Hyuuga compound. Two guards, the same as the ones before, stood there, trying to discretely eye the two.

 

That was when it happened. The moment that would change both lives forever.

 

Hinata tripped and landed on her knees, thankfully not hard. Naruto had grabbed her arm to prevent a harder fall. Horrified with herself, her eye widened, faced turned red, as she stared in to the blonds worried eyes.

 

Leaning down to make sure she was ok, naruto didn't count on her shooting to her feet.

 

Their lips met.

 

…

 

…

 

Normally two people who just accidentally kissed would break apart quickly and either apologize or yell. These two just stood there.

 

Hinata's body seamed to burn. The nervousness she assumed would be there was almost forgotten when his lips touched hers. Even if it weren't on purpose the fact that he was still standing there, wide eyes, starring at her, seemed to bring her courage back to her. His lips, full and trembling, were soft and warm.

 

He on the other hand was having an inner struggle. His body was trying to tell him something but he had no idea what it was. All he knew was that her soft lips were pressed against his and she wasn't pulling away. She looked shocked, and nervous, but surprisingly she wasn't the one trembling. He was.

 

His hand was still holder her arm. The heat from her body seemed to rise. His hand started tingling. The other hand itched for something to do. It just sat there, twitching, begging to touch the warm soft woman his lips were attached to.

 

That was when it occurred to him that maybe he should just break the kiss and step away.

 

But he didn't want too. He liked the feeling of her lips on his. He'd rather find a place to put his other hand then back away now.

 

The hand that wasn't being restrained by Naruto softly touched his side. She gripped his shirt when she felt his hand, slow and unsure, rest on the back of her neck. He put a little pressure on it, just enough to feel her lips mold themselves to his in more of an intimate way. A shiver ran down his spine.

 

He felt her gasp. Her mouth parted slightly. His shy tongue swept across her bottom lip.

 

When she felt his tongue against her bottom lip she couldn't help the moan. It was small and she doubted for a moment that he heard it. That was until he let go of her arm and wrapped his arm around her. Her newly freed arm rapped around his neck. Their kiss deepened.

 

Their tongues shyly touched. Moving slowly at first. Lips barely touching.

 

A cough from one of the guards, who were looking anywhere but at them, broke through their moment.

 

They immediately leapt apart from each other.

 

Without even giving Naruto the chance to collect his thoughts Hinata's stuttering form, red from head to toe, ran through the gates.

 

He stood there for a moment unsure of what to do. He was kissing Hinata. HE WAS KISSING HINATA!

 

A smiled spread across his face as he touched his lips.

 

He could still feel her lips on his. His body was trembling.

 

Turning toward his apartment he made his way home on unstable legs.

 

@#$%^&*()

 

When she woke up everything came back to her. There wasn't any time to stretch or even cuddle into her sheets for a few more moments of sleep.

 

The dinner, the walk home…the kiss. Passing out just inside the gate. It all came back.

 

The next thought was, who brought her into her room after she passed out?

 

The kiss.

 

Her face burned. Their tongues touched.

 

She didn't know whether to giggle manically or turn privately red from embarrassment. Would this change things between them? Did he like it? It was obvious neither knew that they were doing, but that didn't mean they couldn't practice. Would he even want to do it again? What did this do to his opinion of her?

 

It all came down to the same thing. She could never look at him in the face again, and was indeed to frightened/horrified/embarrassed -couldn't decide exactly what it was- to be in his presence. She had the feeling that as soon as she set eyes on him she would fall to the floor unconscious.

 

She hoped not.

 

Going through her morning rituals she finished with looking in her bathroom mirror while brushing her hair. The smile that spread across her face was one that no force could have taken from her at that moment.

 

She kissed Naruto.

 

Naruto kissed her.

 

And they liked it.

 

She needed to find Neji.

 

#$%&*(*&%$#%^

 

The world outside seemed to gleam with the light of heaven. The birds flew after each other in beautiful zig zags and loops while singing their enchanting songs. Every plant and animal seemed to vibrate with a new kind of life. The moisture that covered everything, left over from the cool night before, only added to the ethereal glow of everything.

 

There was no darkness. No pain or sorrow. Even the shadows of the trees or the children making their way to the academy, seemed a little lighter; less dense.

 

He walked down the street, a large grin, the likes of which have never been seen on him before, glowed with its own sense of bliss. Every so often, during his trek to the Hokage tower, he'd wink or wiggle his eyebrows in a flirtation manner at different people. Reaching the end of a street, in which he needed to turn in order to make it to his destination, he paused to smell the air while stretching his arms out to the side, before strutting his way down the new street.

 

A man, in his mid thirties, wrapped his arm around his amused wife's shoulder. She shook her head at the strutting boy just before he disappeared around the corner.

 

The man chuckled. “I didn't act like that after our first time did I?”

 

The woman just smiled. “That wasn't a boy who has sex for the first time. That was a boy who just fell in love for the first time…and yes you did.”

 

The man laughed before they both made their way back into their house. “Then god help us if he actually does get laid.”

 

$%^&*(*&^%^&

 

“Neji!” Hinata called running down the steps toward the Hyuuga training ground, almost forgetting to slip her feet into her sandals.

 

Neji's normal morning ritual usually included training for an hour before meditating for another. No one disturbed him. They knew better. If Neji didn't get his morning routine he would be as bad as a moody teenage girl for the rest of the day. In all honestly, he wasn't that bad, just had that moody `be careful, unhappy badass' feel about him. Also his proper speech was then limited to `hn', and grunts.

 

He'd had been around Gai too long.

 

There were few exceptions when it came to his morning ritual. One being a mission, or an emergency and the second being his family. Not just certain members of his family, just his two cousins…now just cousin. His uncle could interrupt him, but he didn't feel bad about letting the man feel his annoyance. Beside the older hyuuga seemed to find it amusing.

 

After all Hinata honestly believed that getting interrupted didn't bother the young Hyuuga. She saw it as him finding an amusing game to play, and some others did treat it like that; especially the Hyuuga children.

 

Stopping in front of her cousin she fell to her knees just before him. Her finger went to its place just below her lower lip, a blush covered her cheeks as a small sweet smile splayed across her face. Her eyes darted from one place to another, not ever landing on her cousin.

 

He didn't need to open his eyes to know she was doing that, but he opened them anyway. She was cute when she did that. “What can I do for you”

 

His deep voice filled her with the chills of excitement. She couldn't wait to tell him. “Brother Neji…last night Naruto…and I…we…”

 

He smirked. “Does it have anything to do with the idiot's blatant display of male pride this morning?”

 

“He…wha…” Blatant what?

 

Her blush hardened.

 

“Did you come here just to tell me this?”

 

“Neji…Naruto…he…I…we kissed” She smiled that cute `daddy gave me a pony' smile.

 

He nodded. She didn't expect a huge reaction from him; he knew everything.

 

“Good. Now on to the next step” Opened his eyes, starring directing into her eyes. He could feel her body tense with the pressure of his stare. “Your time is running out. You don't have the time to take is slow. You need a husband or one will be given to you.”

 

Her anxiety filled her once again. She didn't want to think about that. Leave it to Neji to remind her then treat this like a Mission.

 

“Knowing Naruto it may take a day or two to ask you to accompany him on another dinner engagement or even just to lunch. You need to go along with these. After a few weeks, I would say three is a good amount of time, you need to put your knowledge of those books I gave you to use.”

 

She gasped. “Neji? You want me too…”

 

He nodded. “You are the heir to the head of the Hyuuga clan. You do not have the privilege of going about dating as a normal Ninja would”

 

He was right. She knew he was, but she couldn't do it. She needed to make him fall her for as soon as possible, and by the sound of the blonde's antics that morning he was well on his way, but this wasn't a mission. This was love. A marriage. Something that shouldn't be treated like how Neji was suggesting. And the sexual part. How was she supposed to go about that? She passed out last night after a kiss. What would happen if she had to `touch' him or he `touched' her?

 

She wasn't sure how she was going to pull this off. She wasn't even sure that she wanted to. She wanted to be with Naruto yes, but she didn't want to rush things or pressure him into it. But she was the heir. She needed to be strong and do what was best for the clan. Providing heirs for the clan with Naruto by her side would result in some of the strongest ninja's is the village, and possibly the whole Ninja world. Naruto was amazing. No one could do a better job at this then him. That was what she believed and that was what she was going to make the elders except. She will make them except him. She will make them give her more time.

 

Nodding at the hard eyed Neji she stood and stalked across the yard to her bedroom.

 

She could do this.

 

She had to do this.

 

She would do this.

 

She will change herself.

 

She will change them.

 

And she will do it her way.

 

$%^&*&^%$%^&

 

She sighed.

 

Being the Hokage wasn't as bad as she always claimed it was. Sure she was busy. Sure she had to give up drinking all the time and gambling, but it was worth it. She had changed the village for the better. Instead of taking over all of the control she allowed the next generation of Ninja to slowly lead.

 

It was the best for the village. She couldn't be around forever, and if she had it her way, she would retire soon. They were almost ready.

 

Looking over the list of missions she knew that there was going to be hell today. There were a surplus of C and D rank missions for some reason. The only S rank mission was going to Neji, who should already be preparing for his late night departure. The few A rank missions were being taken care of by Shikamaru, who really needed a distraction by the look of it, Kiba, the best trackers around, Shino, to taste test for a noble on Tea country, and Ino, who was doing a risky interrogation of a murderer in Suna.

 

There were no B rank.

 

That just left C and D rank, a good couple hundred of them, and an annoying blond who was supposed to be here any minute.

 

Naruto didn't take mission under A rank without a fight. He was a jounin after all, and didn't like to be troubled with things that Genin's could do. The truth was she had all of the Genin teams working right now, but the amount of missions held for their ranks was incredible.

 

Looking over the list once again she scanned the list for the C ranks that she could pass off to the blond as a B rank.

 

Only one.

 

Only one?

 

Shit!

 

There was a knock at the door. Where there was a knock there wasn't an Uzumaki. She was safe for a little while longer.

 

She wasn't scared just annoyed and dreading having to deal with the hyperactive brat.

 

“Come in” She practically barked.

 

The door opened.

 

“Good morning Lady Hokage!” Naruto gave her his newest, and by far the brightest, smile before walking in and sitting down in the chair in front of her desk.

 

She eyed him. He knocked. He called her Lady Hokage. He sat down without a fuss…and was continuing to sit quietly, with a smile on his face.

 

Taking a glance out of the window she didn't see any signs of apocalypse. Turning back around she continued to eye the Blond, who was waiting patiently…PATIENTLY!!!

 

“What is this?” She demanded. She wasn't one to beat around the bush.

 

“What do you mean Lady Tsunade?” He was polite. So polite it gave her chills of fear.

 

She eyed him again. He was just very very very happy…and even content…with a hint of excitement.

 

Her mind started to decode the odd behavior while she started with their business for the day. “For some reason Naruto” She eyed him harder for a moment before continuing. “Our C and D rank missions are on the rise and we are having issues finding Genins to take care of them.”

 

“Ok” he smiled. “Just give me a list and I will take care of it.”

 

There were no words for this. What the hell was his….OH!!

 

OH GOD!

 

She stood, her hands on the desk. “You had sex” It wasn't supposed to come out like that, if just kind of happened that way.

 

She watched as Naruto turned red before attempting to say something to her accusations, but all that came out were stuttered attempts. “No” he managed to squeak.

 

“No” She glared at him, slowly sitting down in her seat. “No? Then what happened?” She was becoming more irritated by the moment. She didn't like surprises like this.

 

He scratched the back of his head. Looking down at the floor he smiled, his cheeks still red. “Well, I mean…last night Hinata and I…we…well we went-” Suddenly a scroll was thrown at his head. He caught it just in time. Looking at the scroll in shock he looked up at her.

 

“Just get on with it. There are enough missions in there to keep you busy for the next few days and that's if you're lazy. If you try you can get them done with by the end of the day. Hopefully we will get missions suited for a ninja of your rank in the next few days”

 

He nodded before standing. Bowing to her he made his way out of her office.

 

She sat back in her seat watching him until he closed the door.

 

That was amazing.

 

Looking down at her desk, noting all of the unread scrolls and mission reports she stood and walked from the room.

 

It was time to get some answers.

 

$%&*(*$*

 

It had been two days since he last saw Hinata. He wanted to see her but he couldn't bring herself to actually go looking for her. Granted he will, when he figures out how to talk to her without attaching his lips to her again. The last two nights had been filled with dreams, which starred Hinata and said warm lips.

 

He could remember the feeling of them on her. He remembered how her hair glistened in the moonlight. The feel of the skin on the back of her neck. He loved the tingle sensation she made him feel.

 

When it came to relationships with females, be it sexual or not, he had no experience. He was a good friend, he knew that, but boyfriend. He wasn't sure. Lover? No a clue!

 

He stood at the steps of the Konoha Library, a little wary to go inside. Sure he had been here before. He did read and study. It was just…he was a little embarrassed about what he came here to get. There was only one way to get the information he needed, without asking people and making is worse, and that was to find those books Sai use to read.

 

If that emotionless ass can learn how to interact with people, while having a great deal of awkward moments, then he could too. Besides he already was good in the awkward moments department. Now all he needed to do was read a few books, and then if he had any question he could ask Sakura, when she got back.

 

Taking a deep breath he smiled. This was it!

 

He climbed the steps to the library. Opening the door he made his way to the wall of little drawers, which each held hundreds of cards. Each card had the information of a book in the library.

 

That was when his long two hours excursion started. He looked through the R's for relationships. He looked through the B's for boyfriends. He was having issues with find exactly what he was looking for. After a few more letters he decided to try the H. He sifted through them until he found the book he had been looking for. He smiled at the card as he pulled it from the drawer.

 

`How to be the man she needs'

 

Perfect!

 

Now all he had to do was find the book, read it, and come up with some way to sweep her off her feet.

 

Looking at the card in his hand he started to walk down the isles. It didn't take long for him to find it, but it was interesting to see that the H's, were by the N's. A little strange, but that was ok. They labeled things corrected so it wasn't that bad.

 

Turning the corner, to where he knew his book was, he stopped. There, standing right in front of his book was Hinata.
