Touch
 
The weather had started to cool considerably with winter on the way. Never did it snow in Konoha, but most of the villagers were now wearing long sleeved clothing because of the nippy weather; Naruto on the other hand however did not notice the change in temperature.
 
Breathing hard against a tree, he could not help but smirk at seeing Kiba lying on the ground face up. The Inuzuka had been utterly defeated in his match against the blonde ninja, and even though it hurt his pride a bit, he couldn't help but smirk at how strong Naruto had actually gotten over the years.
 
“Keh . . . you sure put up a hell of a match Naruto, but don't let your guard down I'll beat you someday!”
 
Naruto laughed softly, “Bring it on Kiba, I'll take you on any day!”
 
Both of them laughed this time, but there was one that remained silent in the trees.
 
“Oi Shino! Are you going to challenge Naruto? I wore him out quite a bit, I'm sure you could take him down!” called Kiba into the high branches.
 
“No, I won't. Why? Because the only time we have a chance at beating Naruto is when he has wronged Hinata in anyway. And why is that? Because due to our immense anger of the wrong he has done to our little `sister', we are more powerful.” Shino said mater-of-factly.
 
Kiba burst out laughing and Naruto hung his head in shame on how true that statement actually was. In a normal sparring match he could beat Kiba, Shino and even Neji . . . but when it came to their over protectiveness of Hinata, they were down right scary. The time when Kiba had pulled a punch at him three months ago had knocked him right out. Never had he felt the Inuzuka hit that hard before, it was incredible how strong someone was when they were angry.
 
He couldn't help but shiver at the time when he himself had completely lost it in anger and had just gone ballistic. The times of when Gaara had been killed, Orochimaru flaunting how Sasuke had just abandoned them and Hinata being stabbed were the first to come to his mind. Taking a deep breath of the crisp fall air, Naruto slid down the tree and took a seat on the ground, leaning his head back.
 
“So any more news on Sasuke?” asked Kiba, slowly getting up in a seated position.
 
Naruto sighed and shook his head, “No. Tsunade-baachan won't even let me see him right now. Only Kakashi-sensei and the interrogators are allowed to speak with him.”
 
Kiba caught the slight anger and hurt in Naruto's voice; he frowned slightly, “Don't take it personal Naruto. Tsunade-sama wants to know what's going on with Akatsuki is all. Once they've gotten that all figured out I'm sure both you and Sakura will be able to see him.”
 
“But . . .”
 
Shino jumped down from his spot; landing beside Kiba, “It's not safe for you to be around Sasuke right now. Why? Because he has been tainted by Akatsuki,”
 
Naruto turned his head and gave a glare at the Aburame.
 
Kiba sighed, “Look Naruto, we understand that he is your friend and teammate. You probably know him better then us or anyone else for that matter. But to some of us, we still kind of think of him as a traitor who tried to kill you and joined up with that Orochimaru bastard. And now apparently he wants revenge against Konoha for his brother's death, and he's the one who killed him! How screwed up is that?”
 
Shino nodded softly in agreement.
 
Naruto had almost instantly ran his mouth off to defend his teammate, but stopped. He did know Sasuke better than anyone and to those who didn't like Shino and Kiba, in their eyes he was still a traitor; someone who had left the village in search of power. Before letting his mouth run away Naruto put himself in their shoes before speaking, “I know what Sasuke did is wrong . . . and him wanting revenge on the village . . .”
 
“No need to explain man, I've gotten enough details from Hinata whenever I've said something bad about the Uchiha.”
 
Ever since he had brought Sasuke back two months ago, Hinata had been his shoulder to lean on. He would talk and rant about Sasuke to her; trying to figure out on what he would say to the Uchiha. Hinata believed that she could change Sasuke and make him see that revenge was not the answer. He knew deep down that Hinata did not really have a liking for Sasuke since he had tried to kill him after all . . . but still she defended his friend. Looking over at Kiba and Shino, he decided to drop the subject, “Speaking of Hinata, where is she today?”
 
“She's babysitting for, Kurenai-Sensei. Soon she will be back into her roll as a ninja again,” commented Kiba
 
“What about, Hitori? Who's going to be looking after him?”
 
“Between Team 10 and us, Kurenai-Sensei has all the help she needs.”
 
Shino once again nodded softly in agreement.
 
“Although Shino doesn't baby-sit that often, because he makes Hitori cry with his shady outfit!” laughed Kiba.
 
Naruto couldn't tell with Shino wearing his dark glasses, but with the aura he felt from him he could tell that Shino was giving Kiba the death glare. Laughing nervously Naruto stood up, “Well I promised Lee I would spar with him today as well, so I'll see you guys later!”
 
Before anyone could say a word, the blonde ninja was gone.

Kurenai watched with a smile on her face as Hinata played with Hitori on the living room floor. For some reason her son found it very amusing and laughed every time Hinata activated her Byakugan. Turning back to her task, she continued on making supper for herself and soon guests. “Are you sure you won't join me and the team for supper, Hinata?”
 
The Hyuuga Heiress shook her head as she deactivated her blood line, picked up Hitori and lightly bounced the boy on her lap, “Naruto already asked for me to have supper at his place tonight.”
 
Kurenai smirked and winked at Hinata, “Oh is that so huh?
 
“I-It's not like that Kurenai-sensei! I just happened to mention to him I haven't really been to his place before . . . and he asked if I would like to have supper there . . .” Hinata blushed, which caused Hitro to laugh at her red face.
 
“I'm just kidding Hinata,” giggled Kurenai as she continued to chop carrots, “You two haven't gotten that far yet?”
 
“K-Kurenai-sensei!” squeaked Hinata.
 
The Kunoichi giggled softly, but then her face turned into a serious expression, “On a serious notes though Hinata, have you two gotten that far?”
 
With her face still beet red as a tomato, Hinata could not help but stutter, “N-no . . . we've only been k-kissing and a few other things . . .”
 
Kurenai regarded the young Kunochi sitting on her floor, “Like?”
 
“T-touching I-I guess . . . but we're j-just h-hugging r-really . . .”
 
`So what Kiba and Shino said is really true, these two are taking it slow. It's almost been a full year now that they have been seeing each other' thought Kurenai. She really didn't mean to pick on Hinata with her relationship with Naruto, but there were still the dangers of Akatsuki and not to mention their young age of seventeen. Well almost seventeen; Hinata's birthday wasn't until another month away. Hinata was like a daughter to her, and she couldn't help but feel like an over protective mother to her sometimes. However, mother or not . . . if Hinata wanted to take that step with Naruto then really she had no say in the matter,but at least she could make sure her student took the extra precautions. A rap at the door interrupted her thoughts as Kiba and Shino came walking into her home.
 
“Yo! Kurenai-sensei!” called Kiba.
 
Hitori suddenly squealed with delight, pointing out the window where Akamaru was sitting.
 
Deciding quickly, Kurenai turned to Kiba to whisper into his ear,” Would you mind taking Hitori out for a ride on Akamaru? I want to talk to Hinata for a moment,”
 
Kiba didn't question his sensei as he walked over and picked up Hitori, “Want to go for ride on the big doggy?”
 
The toddle only smiled and continued to point out the window.
 
“Come on Shino!” called Kiba as he walked back out the door.
 
Shino followed without a word and Hinata watched with a confused expression as her teammates left, leaving her alone with her sensei.
 
*********
 
She walked slowly to Naruto's apartment, and for the life of her could not get rid of the blush on her cheeks. She had talked to Kurenai-sensei about her relationship with Naruto so far; even though it had been embarrassing and she couldn't stop stuttering. Her Sensei really was the only mother figure in her life, so no matter how tough it was to tell her, Hinata was glad she did have someone to talk to about this kind of thing.
 
It had been really weird at first when she and Naruto had started talking. Never before had she been this close to a boy aside from her own teammates, but they were like brothers to her. Now her dream had actually come true, and she was actually Naruto's girlfriend. As much as Ino lightly teased her about it, she really liked the slow pace that she and Naruto were going at with their relationship. They were both new to this, and never once did Naruto try to pressure her into doing something she wasn't comfortable with.
 
A very dark blushed soon covered her cheeks at the memories of their previous encounters together the past week. She had finally gotten the courage to take both her large jacket and mesh shirt off in front of Naruto two days ago. Not that she had been naked or anything from the waist up; always wearing a tank top or black t-shirt underneath. It had been a big step for her, feeling self conscious about her body. Naruto however blew her nervousness out of the water when he had mumbled, `Beautiful' to her, and then proceeded to kiss her senseless. They soon found themselves on the ground like many times before, kissing and wrestling each other with their tongues. Their hands only touched neutral areas on their bodies such as arms, shoulders and the back. At first Hinata had been fine with that, especially when after a while of them kissing in the grass she would feel Naruto's excitement against her thigh. Every time so far he had pulled away, mumbling a small apology to her when it happened. Now however she wasn't surprised like she had been the first few times, but flattered that he found her attractive and wanted her that way. It made her body tingle and face burn. She knew though, that neither of them were ready to take that big of a step yet.
 
But there was a craving that was making itself present in her mind . . . the craving to touch him. Yes she had touched him when both of them were wearing clothes, but what she wanted was to feel his skin on her hands. It made her blush to think about it, but it was something she really wanted to do. Asking for her Sensei's advice, she had been given a very interesting answer that she had not even thought of doing.
 
Once she had finished talking to Kurenai and her teammates, a plan had formed in her mind. The bold step she was taking made her heart pound in her chest, and she hoped that Naruto would like it as well. She stared down at the small box in her hands, hoping to be rid of the blush on her face by the time she reached her destination.

Naruto winced as he sat down on his couch to rest for a moment; with supper ready he just needed to wait for Hinata to arrive. After sparring with Lee and Kiba he had been about to call it a day, but then Neji had showed up wanting a match as well. He had agreed willingly, but now he was slightly regretting it . . . especially when both Lee and Neji had started to tag team him. With Lee's Taijutsu and Neji almost closing all of his Tenketsu, he almost lost the match between the two ninjas.
 
I certainly got my ass kicked that's for sure . . . god I'm so sore . . .
 
A soft knock at the door caught Naruto's attention, and slowly he moved to his feet to answer it. Walking towards the door, Naruto reminded himself that after Hinata went home he would have to visit the hot springs; that would help relax his muscles. Opening the door Naruto smiled at the sight of his girlfriend, “Hey Hinata-chan, come on in!”
 
Hinata smiled back with a light blush still on her cheeks and stuttered, “H-Hi, N-Naruto-k-kun.”
 
Naruto's eyebrow arched on how badly Hinata was stuttering in front of him. She hasn't stuttered like that in a long time. Is she nervous about something? Putting that thought aside for now, Naruto stepped out of the way and let Hinata in. It was the first time she had been invited into his apartment. He watched nervously as she looked around.
 
It was a small place with the living room and kitchen in one room and down a small hallway was the bathroom and bedroom. There wasn't a lot of furniture either aside from the couch and TV in the living room; a table in the kitchen. Even thought it wasn't very big, Hinata found it cozy.
 
“So are you hungry?” asked Naruto, pulling up a chair for her.
 
“Y-Yes, t-thank you.” Hinata whispered her eyes now downcast from his questioning gaze.
 
There! She's stuttering again! And now she won't look me in the eye! Okay now I'm getting worried, what did I do?
 
The two ate in silence, both of them nervous for different reasons. Naruto was trying to piece together what was wrong with Hinata. It had been months since had stopped stuttering in front of him, she wouldn't look him in the eye, was fidgeting with her hands nervously and her body language was practically screaming how uncomfortable she was.
 
Hinata on the other hand was debating if putting her plan into motion was a good idea or not. Through out the entire time they ate she continued to change her mind to do it or not do it. She was nervous, and unbeknownst to her Naruto could tell immediately.
 
“Is something wrong, Hinata-chan?” Naruto was almost scared to ask her. Was there some kind of bad news that she had to tell him? Don't tell me she wants to . . . break up with me?
 
Hinata looked up from her food at Naruto's serious and . . . scared face? Was he nervous about something too? Instead of telling him no that she was just fine, Hinata took it as an opportunity and softly stuttered, “A-actually . . . I heard from K-Kiba-kun that you had a s-sparring match with him and Lee-san today.”
 
“Yeah I did. Your cousin also decided to join in too and tag team with Lee.”
 
“I - I was wondering a-are . . . . you . . .could I . . .” whispered Hinata, her face becoming crimson red.
 
“Hinata what . . .”
 
“Wouldyoulikeamassage?” Hinata had spoken so fast and softly that he had barely heard what she said.
 
“A massage?”
 
“Y-yes . . . I-I thought you m-might be sore f-from sparring a-all day . . .”
 
Is this what she's been nervous about? It's just a massage why would she be so nervous about it? I mean all she's doing is . . . oh . . .
 
Naruto couldn't help but smile as he stood up from his chair to come kneel in front of Hinata, “Is this why you've been nervous ever since getting her? Asking if I would like a massage, which I would have to be crazy to turn down?”
 
“Y-yes.”
 
Leaning forward Naruto lightly pecked Hinata on the lips, “I'd love one.”
 
Hinata smiled and soon the nervousness she had been feeling slowly started to fade.
 
“I'll clean up the kitchen, and you do whatever you need to do to get ready,” suggested Naruto.
 
Nodding softly to his response, Naruto kissed her one more time before starting to clean up the table and kitchen. Out of the corner of his eye he watched her grab the small box she had brought with her before she disappeared into his bedroom.
 
She's going to give me a massage in there?
 
It was the best place after all he reminded himself, other wise the only places left were his small couch or the carpeted floor. And with only three options to choose from, he would take the bed any day. The bed . . . Immediately a blush crept up on his cheeks with the thought of Hinata and him both on his bed. Stop thinking perverted thoughts you idiot! She's just going to give you a massage and maybe a bit more afterwards . . .
 
As Naruto washed the dishes he kept glancing over his shoulder now and then to look towards the bedroom. The door was closed, which he couldn't help but wonder what exactly she was doing in there. Shaking his head, he continued on his task to clean the dishes.
 
His mind wandered to the last time he and Hinata had been together, which had two days ago actually. They had been in the forest sparring with each other, and afterwards had decided to go sit along the river together. It had been warmer than usual that day, and Naruto had taken off his black and orange jacket, along with his mesh shirt. He hadn't expected Hinata to do the same, but she had; leaving both of them in T-Shirts. She openly admitted to him that she was very conscious of her body and rarely took her jacket off.
 
For the first time he got to see the natural curves of her upper body without her bulky coat. Just the mere sight caused him to blush, and now he fully understood the jealousy behind the other kunoichi in the village.
He couldn't understand why she would be ashamed of her body, because in his eyes she was perfect. The thought of her body almost gave the blonde ninja a nose bleed. How I've longed to run my hands down her side, across her legs and her chest . . . Naruto banged his head on the cupboard in front of him, trying to get that thought out of his mind. But it was there in his brain and it was there to stay. Sighing softly in defeat to his perverted mind, he began putting the clean dishes away just as Hinata came out of his bedroom. She had removed her jacket and mesh shirt and was only wearing a tank top this time. Her hair had been pulled up into a messy bun and he could smell a strange yet relaxing aroma coming from his room.
 
“I-it's ready,” whispered Hinata, another blush darkening her cheeks. “You'll need to change into some shorts though.”
 
“Why?”
 
“I-I was going to massage your legs to . . . but if you don't want me . . .”
 
“YES! I mean, yes I do and I'll change into a pair of shorts.” said Naruto, unable to look her in the eye with the way his perverted mind was taunting him.
 
Hinata moved to sit in the living room while he went into his bedroom to change. She tried to control the racing of her heart and her fast breathing. Quickly she went over the list in her mind to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything.
 
I set up the candles, spreaded towels across the bed to make sure they wouldn't get covered in oil . . . was there anything else?
 
Hearing the bedroom door open Hinata turned around and almost thought she was going to faint from the sight before her. Naruto was just wearing a pair of black shorts like she had asked him to, but it was still something she had not seen before. Seeing her cousin or teammates practice and train without their shirts was an entire different story all together; this was the man she was in love with. She couldn't help but just stare at him. His lean muscled arms, firm toned legs, amazing chest and abs . . .the very sight was making her own body tingle in a whole new way.
 
“How come there are towels on the bed?” asked Naruto.
 
“I-I'm using a m-massaging oil, and I didn't want it to get on your sheets.” informed Hinata, cursing inwardly that she was still stuttering.
 
Naruto smiled before sighing softly and walking towards her. He watched as the blush on her face increased in color the closer he got to her. When Naruto in front of her his hand came up to lightly caress her cheek, “You don't have to do this . . .”
 
“I WANT TO!” blurted Hinata. She took a step back realizing how loud she had been, “I mean . . . I do want to do this! I just . . . I'm nervous that you won't like it . . .”
 
Hinata was cut off when Naruto took a step forward to kiss her; his hands coming up to grasp her upper arms. The kiss was short but sweet, “Trust me, I will like it very much.”
 
Hearing his whispered encouragement, Hinata couldn't help the shiver than ran up her body, “Okay.”
 
Smiling, Naruto released her upper arms to grasp her hand in his before leading her to the bedroom. The few candles that had been lit gave off a sweet aroma that caused both of the ninja to relax. “So what do you want me to do?”
 
“Just lye on your stomach, and make sure that you're comfortable,” said Hinata, closing the door to keep the room dark, “You want to be completely relaxed for this.”
 
Crawling onto his bed, Naruto lay down and grabbed one of the pillows to rest under his chin under; his arms folded in front of him, “Is this okay?”
 
“For now it's fine. When I get closer to your shoulders you'll have to spread your arms out so I can massage them too.”
 
Naruto shifted slightly so he could watch Hinata grab a brown bottle off the floor and squeezing the contents onto her hands. She moved to stand at the end of the bed, and even in the darkened room he could still see a rose colored blush on her cheeks. Her eyes scanned his body with closer inspection. She could see bruises from Lee's kicks and the small red dots in places his tenketsu had been sealed off by Neji.
 
“They really did a number on you,” commented Hinata, her hands reaching forward to his feet first. She heard Naruto gasp from the cold oil on her palms, “Sorry . . . it will warm up in a moment.”
 
Naruto at first shivered from the cold oil on Hinata's hands, but as she started to rub her hands up and down his feet it warmed up. He couldn't help the sigh of contentment that escaped his lips as Hinata began to work her magic on his beaten body.
 
Deep down he could feel a part of his past slowly start to fade away into dust. The desire for physical contact was finally something he got to fully experience here with Hinata on his bed. He had at first cherished her hugs, and light caresses on his back . . . but this was the bulls eye right here. Her hands on his bare skin and it would be a feeling that he would never forget.
 
First she started at his feet; her thumbs and fingers working the heel and soles. Hinata used a stroking motion with the use of her palms and finger tips that soon had him melting into bliss. He couldn't help the light trail of drool that came out of his mouth from her touch, it just felt so good. A soft groan echoed through the room as Hinata started working on his calves, “Oh god . . .”
 
“Like that?”
 
“Yes and for the love of god don't stop!” Naruto groaned out again.
 
For the next fifteen minutes Naruto was complete puddy in her skilled hands as Hinata worked on the sore muscles of his legs. He couldn't tell if Hinata was an expert in this category, but the stroking and circular motions she was using on his muscles were doing the job. When she started working on the backs of his upper thighs, he could feel the nervousness and hesitation radiating off her. Before he could say anything she softly whispered . . .
 
“Is this okay?” her fingers lightly brushing the sides of his upper thighs covered by his shorts.
 
“Yeah its okay, Hinata-chan.” Naruto whispered back.
 
Without saying another word her hands slightly slipped inside his shorts to work the backs of his thighs just below his rump. Naruto hummed loudly into the pillow, it just felt sooooo good. All too soon Hinata pulled her hands away and walked away from the bed. Naruto looked over his shoulder to see Hinata use his spare blanket to cover his legs.
 
“You need to keep the body warm after a massage.” said Hinata, upon seeing his questioning gaze.
 
Naruto nodded, resting his head back down on the pillow.
 
Hinata stood there for a moment, staring at the bare back of her boyfriend; wondering if she should ask for his permission for the next part. Shaking her head lightly, she moved without thinking and just went with the flow.
 
He's honestly liking what I'm doing so far . . . so why I am still nervous?
 
The bed creaked lightly as Hinata crawled onto it; straddling Naruto's thighs as she sat down on them.
 
“Is that okay? Or do you want me to move?” asked Hinata.
 
Naruto had been surprised at first when Hinata had gotten onto the bed with him, but feeling her sitting on him from behind caused a small shock to go through his body. It was a familiar feeling he had felt before, but usually it was when he was kissing her.
 
When she didn't hear a response from Naruto, Hinata was about ready to climb off, but when he raised his hand to give her thumbs up she continued on with her work. Applying more oil to her hands, she started working on his back next. Starting at the lower part of his spine, she used the weight her body to put pressure into the heel of her hands. Slowly she slid her way up from the lower to the upper part of his back.
Hinata could not help but smile with pride as she heard small whimpers and moans coming from Naruto. She was pleased with his reaction, but more so on how well her plan was going. Hinata watched as her hands pushed and moved across his skin; the blush on her cheeks slightly becoming redder with how much she was actually enjoying this. She loved touching him and feeling his skin beneath her finger tips made her body react in a way she didn't know it could. Every time Naruto reacted with a shift in his body or sound from his lips from her touch, it made her own body tingle . . . and she couldn't help but think what it would be like, if he were to touch her this way.
 
That thought immediately made her stop for a moment. If he were to touch her like this . . . then that would mean her skin would be showing as well. She was very self conscious of her body, always had been ever since she was a child and she always wore baggy or long sleeved clothes. Her bulky jacket and baggy pants were proof enough of that. Unlike the rest of the kunoichi in their village who took pride and how they looked; Ino, Sakura and Kurenai were an example of that. Even though TenTen wore long sleeved clothes and pants, she still showed off that she had curves.
 
Feeling Hinata stop her movements, Naruto was brought out of his state of bliss long enough to look over his shoulder at her. There was a far off look in her eyes, her face was getting a little pale and if he didn't know any better it looked like she was on the verge of tears.
 
“Hinata what's wrong?” asked Naruto, concern filling his voice.
 
Snapping back to attention, Hinata stared down into his eyes for a moment before shaking her head, “It's nothing . . .”
 
A frown etched Naruto's lips. If truth be told, he didn't really know anything about girls or relationships . . . hell he was very dense when it came to this kind of thing. But somehow he knew again that something was bothering her, however decided he would ask her about it later. Feeling her begin to slowly massage circles up his back, Naruto couldn't help but wonder if Hinata would like this sort of thing done to her too. He was obviously enjoying it; hence the big drool stains on his pillow. It seemed that Hinata knew or had a general idea of what she was doing, so maybe she wouldbe able to teach him? Naruto smiled at the thought of touching her body like she was touching his.
 
The bed creaked again as Hinata shifted; moving up to sit on his lower back so she could reach his shoulders better. Feeling her hands lightly pull on his arms, Naruto removed them from under his pillow and spread them out on the bed. At first she worked out the tense and abused muscles on his shoulders before moving up to his neck. As she worked at the base her hands slowly slid down to his collar bone; Naruto softly laughed from the ticklish feeling.
 
Her hands moved across and over his shoulders to his biceps, and down to his forearms. Naruto couldn't help but frown at the reminder that she was almost done giving him his massage; because after the arms there was no where else left that she hadn't touched aside from his head.
 
Wiping her hands on the towels beneath them, Hinata flexed her hands slightly and began running her fingertips through Naruto's hair to massage his scalp. She literally felt a shiver run through his body as her fingers moved in small circles. The most surprising part for her was when she took a tip from Kurenai-Sensei and lightly massaged his ears as well. A loud moan was muffled with Naruto's head buried in the pillow; his back flexing up.
 
“God Hinata what are you doing to me?” whimpered Naruto, “I seriously feel like I've died and gone to heaven.
 
Hinata giggled softly, “You're feeling better then?”
 
“One hundred percent better and if I have this to look forward to when I'm sore again, I'll spar with Neji and Lee everyday . . . hell maybe I can get Shino and Kiba to join their tag team too.” Naruto seriously considered.
 
“Well . . . I'm not quite done yet.” whispered Hinata, a blush once again covering her entire face. She moved back down Naruto's body, seating herself on the backs of his knees.
 
“Hinata?”
 
“J-Just tell me if you don't like it okay?” requested Hinata.
 
Before Naruto could ask what she was doing, he felt her hands on the side of his hips. At first she just moved her finger tips in small but deep circles, waiting to see what his reaction would be. His hands were clenching the towels and she could feel him shaking.
 
Feeling like she had crossed the line, Hinata pulled her hands away, “I'm sorry Naruto-kun . . . I thought . . .”
 
“Don't stop,” he interrupted, a slight huskiness in his voice, “Please keep going . . .”
 
Hearing him practically beg for her to keep going meant she couldn't deny his request and continued. She returned to massaging his hips, now using the heels of her hands. Feeling less nervous, she boldly moved her hands from his hips up to his backside (aka butt). Hinata almost felt like she was going to pass out from touching him there, but was determined to keep going.
 
“I know it sounds embarrassing to massage someone there, Hinata. However it feels really good since we do use the muscles there a lot. Most people don't think that area needs attention but really it does along with the hips,” instructed Kurenai-Sensei, “Just give it a try. Some people like it and some don't, but I'm sure he'll let you know,”
 
Taking a deep breath Hinata continued to run Kurenai-Sensei's instructions through her mind, trying to be more comfortable with touching him there. Using the heels of her hands again she slowly moved them up the muscles and then back down again. After a few times of that motion, she moved onto the next step by moving her hands in circles. Her eyes kept glancing up at Naruto to see if he was enjoying it. Even though his head was buried into the pillow, she could still hear the moans coming from him.
 
All reasonable thinking had flown out the window for Naruto, and all he could think and feel was Hinata touching him. When she had been touching him all over his body with her hands it felt incredible and thought it couldn't get any better . . . but it did. Now where she was touching him was completely mind blowing. He couldn't control the sounds coming out of his mouth, nor the way his body reacted when he arched his hips into her hands. At one point, her hands moved over the sides of his hips to slip underneath so she could reach his front. Naruto could have sworn he was going to lose his mind with her hands moving just over his lower abdomen and hip bones. His ands clenched the pillow under his head and a loud whimper/groan echoed throughout the room. That deep feeling started to churn in the pit of his stomach again and he could feel his body starting to heat up. A certain part of his anatomy became hard between his legs as her hands started to move in small circular motions over his hip flexors. Every time her fingers moved across his hips a jolt of pleasure shot through his body. His breathing was becoming ragged and heart was pounding loudly in his chest. Had anyone else been touching him like this the outcome would have been completely different . . . but it was Hinata - Hinata was the one touching him. Suddenly it became all too much for him to handle and the pleasure that was coursing through his body was hitting an extreme high. Images started to run through his head at what he was now craving now and the feeling inside of him that needed release . . .
 
Hinata was surprised when Naruto suddenly lifted his upper body off the bed and in a ragged voice whispered to her, “Stop Hinata!”
 
Pulling her hands out from underneath his hips she quickly got off of him. Moving to the end of the bed she watched him for a moment. His body was visibly trembling and his breathing was coming out in loud pants. Hinata couldn't figure out what had happened; hadn't he been enjoying it?
 
“Naruto-kun?”
 
“I'm sorry Hinata-chan . . .” whispered Naruto. He moved to the edge of the bed, sitting with his feet planted firmly on the floor and the pillow was now in his lap; hands completely covering his face, “It was just becoming too much to handle . . .”
 
Confusion swept across Hinata's face at first, wondering what he was talking about. Even in the dimly lit room she could see his face was flushed beneath his hands, his breathing slightly shaky, body trembling and he wouldn't look at her - almost as if he was ashamed of something. Eyes fell to the pillow covering his lap and suddenly it all came together. Had touching him like that really gotten him excited? Kurenai-sensei surely didn't mention that that would happen to him! I was just massaging his hip flexors and lower abdomen . . . but then again . . .
 
Hinata blushed as she reminded herself on where exactly she had been touching him and how close she her hands had been from touching his . . .
 
She had to sit on the end of the bed to prevent herself from passing out. Her heart was now also pounding in her chest, trying to figure out what to do now. Glancing over her shoulder she saw Naruto was still hunched over and trembling.
Hinata didn't know a lot about boys . . . but from some guidance from her Sensei, she knew very well why Naruto was trembling and looked uncomfortable . . . but the real question was what she could do to help him. Her hands trembled slightly as she came up with her own answer.
 
Can I really do it? I've never touched a man . . . there before and . . . and . . .
 
Hinata also covered her face with her hands as she tried to make up her mind quickly about what she wanted to do.
 
Ten months. We've been seeing each other for over ten months. Even though I'm not ready to - to have sex with him yet . . . I'm sure there are other things I can do with him that won't lead to it. I mean get a grip girl, it's not like he's forcing you to do this! Every time he's pulled away knowing that it makes me nervous! But now . . . what is this feeling? I don't really understand why I'm thinking this, but I really liked it when he was groaning and shivering when I touched him. It felt so - so . . .
 
Finding her courage Hinata got up off the bed and walked over to Naruto; standing in front of him. Naruto's face remained buried in his hands, but his head soon snapped up at the feel of her fingers caressing his blonde spikes.
 
Perhaps it was the aroma from the candles, the setting of the darkened room, or perhaps it was something different all together . . . but the look that Hinata was giving him made his body start to shake all over again. At first he wanted to tell her to stop, that right now it wasn't wise to be near him when he was like this. Before he could say anything to her, hands fell onto his shoulders; lightly pushing him towards the bed. When she pulled the pillow from his lap Naruto finally found his voice, “What are you doing?”
 
Hinata could tell from the tone of his voice that he was confused and perhaps slightly scared. In all honestly she was too, but was too determined to stop now, “Move up more on the bed Naruto so you can lye down.”
 
“Hinata -chan, I don't think . . .”
 
“Please? Just lye down . . .”
 
Naruto blushed, “But, Hinata-chan . . .”
 
“Do you trust me?”
 
“Of course I do!”
 
“Then please lye down?” she asked, her hands starting to lightly caress Naruto's face, “I - I think you'll like this . . .”
 
Finally obliging to her request, Naruto scooted back on the bed so he could lye down.
 
Hinata soon followed his pursuit, lying half on top of him but keeping her upper body up on her left elbow. She was nervous beyond belief; never having done this before, Hinata was unsure if what she was about to do was right or not. But what did feel right was doing this with him . . . Naruto the man she had been in love with since she was a child. The only person she had ever thought doing this with. She debated on whether or not to tell him to keep his hands on the bed while she did this. Without a doubt he would want to touch her and probably in places that he hadn't before. It made her shiver at the thought, but also made her slightly paranoid. Even after deciding to do this with Naruto, she was still very body conscious. Mentally she tried to snap her mind out of that rut and tried to remember that he had called her beautiful.
 
“Hinata-chan?” questioned Naruto, never taking his eyes off her as they lay together on his bed.
 
She did not answer, but instead leaned down and kissed him on the lips. It was a light kiss at first, but soon turned into something else. Passion soon swept over them when their tongues started to dance together. Hinata's right hand started to caress the skin on his chest; tracing over the muscles.
 
Naruto groaned softly from her touch and kiss, his own hands moving over her body. Right hand moved up over her shoulder to caress her back, while the other moved into her hair. He removed the clip holding up her hair so he could caress the scalp and pulled her closer for a deeper kiss. Once again he was getting lost in her touch, the scent of her skin, the shampoo in her hair and the closeness of their two bodies. All rational thinking had left his mind. Moving his hand up to the bare skin of her shoulders, a small moan left Hinata's throat from the contact. He had never touched her bare skin before aside from her arms and neck. Her skin was so warm and soft that he wanted to feel more. His hand moved back down; finding the end of her tank top before slipping his hand underneath.
 
Feeling his hand on her bare back made Hinata want to pull away at first, but she calmly reminded herself that this was Naruto . . . and that it was okay. Breaking the kiss, Hinata sat up slightly and watched has her hand moved across his upper body. Across his pecks, down towards his abdomen and up again along his sides. She was completely captivated as she watched her own hand caressed his upper body, and soon she was touching him everywhere. Fingertips gliding across his shoulders, down his biceps towards his forearms, moving lightly over his hand and then making her way back up to his shoulder. A small whimper caught her attention; her eyes moved back up to his, and he was watching her, mesmerized by her actions. Smiling softly from his reaction, she leaned down to kiss him again and decided it was time to make her move. Slowly her hand moved back down across his abdomen and she felt a small shiver run over his body, but he did nothing to stop her. Taking her time she traced his ab muscles with the tips of her fingers, memorizing every little detail.
 
Scared that he wouldn't like what she was about to do, Hinata pulled her lips away from his and moved her head so she could kiss his neck.. Finding his pulse point, her lips started lightly caressing and nibbling the skin. A shaky noise left Naruto's lips that encouraged Hinata to continue. Finally her hand started to skin the waistline of his shorts; listening and waiting to see how Naruto would react.
 
Too lost in the moment Naruto was too oblivious to actually think about where Hinata was touching and kissing him. It felt so good that all he wanted was more; feel more of her skin and kiss her until he felt dizzy. Feeling her lips start to nibble just below his ear caused Naruto to turn his head to the side so she could have better access. Shiver after shiver ran up his body, and the tightness in his pants was almost becoming unbearable. He had no idea what Hinata was really trying to do, but it all soon became clear when he felt her hand start to slowly slip inside his black shorts.
 
“Hinata-chan wait!”
 
“I want to . . .”
 
Hearing her whispered words caused Naruto to freeze. Hinata moved her head from his neck, but for some reason couldn't look him in the eye.
 
“I want to do this for you . . . I do . . .”
 
“You don't have to,” whispered Naruto. What she was about to was something he had thought of many times when he was having a cold shower. Never had he thought of asking her to touch him there until she was completely comfortable with it, “As much as I would *gulp*, like you to do that for me - I won't force you to . . .”
 
“I know, but I want to . . . I want to feel you and I want to please you . . .”
 
Her eyes finally looked into his and for the life of him Naruto couldn't tell her to stop again. Instead he softly nodded.
 
Getting his approval Hinata leaned down and pecked his lips, but before she could move back to kissing his neck, he held her place. His blue eyes bore into hers, telling her he wanted to keep eye contact with her for this new step. Trying to swallow the lump in her throat Hinata obliged, the hooded look he was giving her was making it hard to breathe.
 
“Hinata . . .” croaked Naruto, his whole body shivering with anticipation before her small hand slowly found the most prized part of his anatomy. He couldn't stop the quivering groan that left his lips; the sound echoing off the walls. His eyes widened for a moment before closing, tightly as his teeth gritted together. At first she thought he was in pain, but the way his hands gripped her to him and the small thrust from his hips told her otherwise.
 
It was strange at first to touch him there; it felt hot and smooth but hard at the same time. Her hand moved curiously up and down his erection, feeling his entire length and head against her fingertips. With the sounds coming from Naruto's mouth and the way his eyes were burning into hers, she immediately knew he liked it. The only problem was she wasn't sure exactly what to do from here. Experimentally she moved her hand up and down his erection to see what his reaction would be. Feeling his hips move and the long moan from his throat, she took that as a good sign and continued. Moving her hand up and down the smooth hard length, Naruto started to react in a way that she had never seen before. His hips were moving along with the motions of her hand, while whispering her name over and over in a raspy voice.
 
Naruto felt like his body was on fire; beads of sweat starting to roll down his forehead He liked what she was doing so much he wanted her to go faster, squeeze him a little more tighter. Unable to find the words though, he moved his hand down on top of hers, showing her how to stroke him.
 
Upon feeling his hand on top of hers she halted her hand; thinking he had done that to stop her. She attempted to pull her hand away and tried to turn her gaze away from his, but he had a firm grip on her hand. His free hand came up to cup her cheek, gently turning her to look at him again. Scared met pleasure filled eyes as Naruto tried to calm the shy timid girl above him who had taken such a huge step out of her comfort zone. He smiled softly and Naruto tried to tell Hinata with just his eyes to trust him as his hand started to move, trying to guide hers.
 
A shaky breath left Hinata's lips as she felt his hand move along with hers, guiding her on how to stroke up. At first she had been holding him tenderly in her hand and make slow strokes up and down his erection. However Naruto was now showing her what to do, how he wanted to be touched. His hand flexed slightly to tell her he wanted to be held tighter and the motion of their combined hands was picking up in speed.
 
Naruto could already start to feel the coiling spring of release start to wind tighter and tighter as she stroked him. It felt completely different compared to touching himself; the pleasure he felt from this was so much more blinding he didn't think he would last much longer.
 
“F-Faster . . . please . . .” Naruto gasped.
 
Hinata obliged, her eyes watching with complete fascination at the different emotions that seemed to cross his face. Sometimes his teeth would grit together and eyes clench tightly shut as if he was in pain. Then blue eyes would fully open wide and his lips would part as a shaky moan passed through them. As her hand moved faster, Naruto started making small grunting noises and he pulled her down for a passionate, bruising kiss; pulling her body even closer to his. She squeaked in surprise when the hand that had been on top of hers moved to rest on her bottom, the other hand remaining on her back; feeling his nails slightly dig into her skin.
 
His head felt like it was spinning faster and faster, the coiling spring was so close to snapping. Beads of sweat rolled down his concentrated face as he focused on the pleasure coursing through his body. Finally he felt the coil snap . . .
 
“Hina . . . gah!” Naruto cried out; his body suddenly becoming rigid and stiff before a loud pleasurable moan filled the room.
 
She watched as his face flush even more, body shaking and something hot squirting onto her hand. His back arched off the bed and eyes squeezed tightly shut as he came hard and fast.
 
After a moment she felt him go soft in her hand and slowly pulled it out his shorts. A soft groan escaped his lips from the lost contact. While Naruto tried to catch his breath, Hinata brought her hand up and stared at the white substance stuck to her skin. She debated giving the stuff a taste, but decided against it; wiping her hand on the towels beneath them.
 
Naruto's arms that had been lying limp on top of her back, moved to wrap around her waist, pulling her down so half her body lay on top of him. His eyes slowly opened to stare at the ceiling for a moment before shifting to the side to meet her gaze; a goofy grin on his face, “You've got some talented hands there, Hinata-chan.” whispered Naruto, his hands slowly stroking over her entire body.
 
Hinata blushed and averted her gaze.
 
Still smirking he pulled her closer, pressing a kiss to her forehead, “Thank you.”
 
“Your welcome,” Hinata whispered back, kissing his chin.
 
Taking a deep breath Naruto let his body to recover from his intense release; waiting for the feeling to come to his legs. A comfortable silence fell across the room as his breathing slowly returned to normal.
 
Hinata wrapped her arm around his waist and listened to the steady rhythm of Naruto's heart. A dark suddenly spread across her cheeks as she shifted slightly and felt a slight wetness between her legs. With the way Naruto had been holding her possessively against him, his reaction to her touch and the noises he had been making, it was no wonder that she had also been turned on by the encounter.
 
 
Naruto's hand slowly slid on top of hers, and brought it up to his lips. Smiling he leaned up and lightly kissed each of her finger tips, her palm, her wrist and then twisted her hand slightly so he could kiss along her knuckles. When he was done, he leaned down to kiss Hinata on the forehead before shifting slightly to roll on top of her. The kiss did not last long before he pulled away; their foreheads pressed together as a smirk started to appear on his lips. His right hand made it down her side, found the edge of her shirt before slipping under to feel her skin.
 
“It's your turn now, Hinata-chan” he whispered huskily before enveloping her in another kiss.

Massage: A real quick note on the massage scene and that is I have no professional or researched info on this subject. I am merely writing from what I felt when getting an athletic massage from my aunt, and yes they do massage your butt and hip flexors but only if you are comfortable with it. I'm completely comfortable with it, especially after I've gone to the gym and got my ass handed to me, but some people like my sister hate being touched like that by a massage therapist.
