Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ The Demon's of Konoha ❯ The mission and refusal ( Chapter 26 )

Anko was sitting down at the empty long table eating her dango as she read over her mission report ignoring the other people in the room. It was currently Friday and Christmas was in a few days. In that time Anko had the job of helping out at the festival as did everyone of Chounin rank and above. Genin's were allowed the reprieve since Sarutobi wanted to allow the teens to be kids for a little while longer instead of the facing hard reality of ninjas. He wanted to give them something to enjoy before they were expected to make their first kills. That wasn't to say that some Genin haven't had to take a life, but Sarutobi wanted to remind people that even though they were ninjas they were still children and growing.

 

“I don't think I've seen this room so crowded before” Kurenai commented as she placed her tray on the table in front of her friend before taking a seat. “Normally the Jounin Lounge isn't this full. I didn't know that we had this many people in the Jounin Rank. So did you get the results of the contest the other day?” Putting crackers in her soup Kurenai looked around the room commenting on the other tables. “This is one of those times that I am glad you are scary or else we wouldn't have a place to sit. You are the only person I know who can have a table to themselves in a crowded room.”

 

“You think it's just me. Gai Maito can clear a table just by sitting down. Something about the green suit scared everyone. I haven't heard anything about the results but since it's been two days I expect to hear it sometime this week.” Anko replied rolling up her report before sealing it shut. “Why what have you heard?”

 

“Really for as long as I've known Gai he's always worn the jumpsuit in fact I would suspect he's been wearing it his whole career. Nothing I just know that I didn't win” Kurenai replied slowing on her steaming soup before taking a bite. “I was correct in my assumption that Shino and Anya are dating. At least if they aren't they have an `understanding' between them. How did your girls do?”

 

“Gai didn't always wear the jumpsuit, or even have the bushy brows or bowl cut. In fact for the longest time he looked normal. When he was a Jounin he was actually a hottie back in the day. His hair was wavy and he wore a normal Jounin outfit like Kakashi.” Anko told her friend.

 

“That I find hard to believe.” Kurenai giggled at the sight of a hot Gai. No matter what she tried the jumpsuit always appeared on his body along with the bowl cut.

 

“Its true watch” standing up and bringing up two fingers in front of her Anko disappeared into a puff of smoke in a simple hedge technique. In her place was a man in a standard Jounin outfit with his hitae-ate around his waist. The outfit hinted at his muscles without being form fitting. His hair was dark and wavy and slightly spiky around the edges. His eye brows were normal and his teeth were still as white as ever. Over all Gai was definitely a hottie by even Kurenai's standards.

 

“Wow” was all Kurenai could say as Anko released the hedge and sat back down. “Do I even want to know why he would not want to look like that?” At seeing Anko shake her head no Kurenai went to ask again. “So how did your girls do?”

 

“Haku didn't get anybody but only because of an over-protective bodyguard and boyfriend.” Anko said chewing on the empty dango stick as she put her elbows on the table leaning on one hand. “She got up there and Sasuke Uchiha was there with an activated sharingan staring at people with a kunai in his hand and this intense glare as if he was willing anyone to come up there. His smirk was something that even I was proud of. After an hour of Sasuke keeping watch he got pulled off the stage by Kakashi and then given to Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno. When Sasuke vacated Bear-san from ANBU took up the post and was swinging a zanbato at anyone who came near. Haku remained kiss-less for the entire event.”

 

“Wow so then what happened with Hinata? Did Kusanagi jump in front of her and protect his teammate like that? I know Kiba was complaining all day that he didn't get to kiss her but he never said why. So are Sasuke and Haku dating?” Kurenai placed her spoon into her empty bowl her red eyes flashing in delight at the thought of the young couple.

 

“No they aren't I've already asked but his actions just screamed over-protective boyfriend don't they” Anko said putting her empty sticks in Kurenai's bowl to be tossed out together. “As for Hinata” Anko pulled a picture out of her pocket and handed it to Kurenai. Taking the picture of Anko's outstretched hand Kurenai's eyes lighted up at the shot of Naruto Uzumaki kissing Hinata no Sabaku.

 

“So they finally kissed about time. She's liked him for a while.” Kurenai sighed happily at the though of them getting together. They are just so cute together.

 

“What are you guys talking about?” Asuma asked as he came and sat next to Kurenai at the table smoking slowly. Grabbing the picture Kurenai was trying to hand to him Asuma smiled as he handed the photo back to Anko. “Ino did very good from what I understand. I think my girl won Anko.”

 

“Sakura beat Ino by one” Kakashi replied as he sat down in the empty spot next to Anko. “She had more people in line than Ino did. So I wonder who won over all I just know Sakura beat Ino as she wouldn't shut up about it.”

 

“The youthful Hinata won by a whole two hundred tickets” Gai said walked on his hands towards the table, his orange legwarmers waving in the air. “I just got the confirmation from Hokage-sama himself and because I have lost I will walk around Konoha fifty times on my hands backwards. And if I can't do that I shall do twenty thousand jumping jacks.”

 

“Ha every one of you has to pay up” Anko said standing up with her hands on the table in front of her completely ignoring Gai in his rambling. “I told you my kunoichi would kick all your asses. Not only do they have the highest success rate they also are the prettiest.” Kakashi looked like he was about to protest when Anko jumped in “and no you can't have Hinata back Kakashi.” At that Kakashi lowered his head in defeat. “Now if you don't mind I have to let my girls know how they did.”

 

“Anko-san” Gai righted himself from his handstand. “Hokage-sama would like to see you now. I must get going I need to train with one of my youthful students on his love for a cherry blossom of a woman. Good bye everyone I have a village to travel around.” Dropping back down into a handstand Gai began to walk out of the room backwards making people move out of his way.

 

“I'm out of here. I shall see you guys later and don't think this doesn't mean you don't have to pay up because I will be after your asses.” Anko mentioned as she walked out of the door to the Hokage's Office above her.

 

Knocking on the massive wooden door in front of her Anko stopped when she heard Sarutobi called out for her to enter. It never seemed to amaze her that Sarutobi always knew who was at his door. “You wanted to see me Hokage-sama” Anko asked as she bowed down in greeting towards her leader.

 

“Yes Anko have a seat” Sarutobi motioned towards a chair with a table in front of it covered with papers with pictured of a bunch of kunoichi on it along with their stats. “I hate to do this to you but I need you to lead an ANBU mission in Tea Country. It's an assassination of the highest caliber.”

 

“Do I get to pick my own team?” Anko asked as she began contemplating the situation. The one thing Anko was great at while she was ANBU was in assassination and interrogation, but after years of it the killing got to be too much for her. Anko herself knew she was different before, she wasn't nearly as sadistic and the cursed seal on her neck didn't help any of the tendencies either, but she also knew the Hokage wouldn't ask her unless it was absolutely necessary.

 

“You do and by your question I take it you accept.” Sarutobi said as he sat down in the chair in front of Anko. “The person you will need to kill is a noble by the name of Ramuko Kumakura. He is a known pedophile who likes girls between the ages of ten and thirteen basically just before a girl goes into puberty. He likes them when they are barely developed and possessing a short stature. These pictures are of the kunoichi of Chounin rank and higher. I brought them here so you can decide who here you would like in your team. He always has ninja around him and has been seen coming and going from one of the new hidden villages.”

 

The kunoichi in the entire pile had been older and in their mid twenties like Anko was herself. Some of these women she had worked with before but most she knew by reputation. All of these women had the look of being a shinobi for far too long. Without elaborate hedges they weren't going to be able to pass looking like someone in their early teens and with ninja around gen jutsu was out of the picture. “Hokage-sama I would like to choose my Genin team for the mission.”

 

“Explain Anko. You know there are rules about Genin's and high ranking missions.” Sarutobi asked leaning on his hands with an eyebrow raised. He had a suspicion that Anko might ask something like this when he offered her to let her choose her team.

 

“As you said yourself Hokage-sama, he prefers girls of short stature that is just beginning to hit puberty. Since he is always around ninja and near one of the new hidden villages everyone will be on the lookout for a hedge or even a genjutsu. Someone is bound to notice at anytime that the potential victim is not who they think they are. Also as for them being Genin, I know for a fact that you are able to allow them into ANBU as long as they are Genin and above. The only way to do this though is to give them duel jobs. They can function both as a Genin Team and perform the normal missions on the books for the records but also do ANBU missions in secret allowing them to hide their identities from everyone.”

 

“Suppose I do allow you to choose them, who would you choose for the supposed `victim' and are you sure your girls can handle that kind of situation.”

 

“Hinata was who I had in mind as the victim. She's of short stature and with her timid personality she appears much younger. With strong breast bindings I am sure that we can hide her chest and her chakra restraints can be turned on full blast making her appear as a normal civilian. Haku would work as her older sister as the two works well together and Kusanagi is our hidden back-up should something goes out of control.”

 

“You do realize that things could go terribly wrong and that she could be raped and killed.”

 

“I trust my team Hokage-sama. We will not fail and Hinata would kill him before he could attempt to rape her. She will not freeze up, or fail as it would go against her nindo.”

 

“Very well than Anko you can have your team. I shall have uniforms and masks ready to go for you before you leave. I expect your team here in my office at four in the morning there I will debrief them and give you your destination. That is all you are dismissed.”

 

“Thank you Hokage-sama” Anko said with a deep bow. Turning around she headed towards the door.

 

“Anko” Sarutobi called out “if for some reason your team decides not to go on this mission do let me know will you?”

 

“Hai Hokage-sama” Anko said as she left the room in pursuit of her team.

“So does this mean you are a couple now?” Haku asked Hinata as she watched the shorter girl practice under the waterfall that lead to the freezing lake behind the main Uchiha house. Hinata was standing on the water in short shorts and a tank top wearing nothing else. If Haku didn't know Hinata so well she would have thought she was crazy, although she was beginning to wonder with the way her friend was dressed and the fact that the water appeared to be falling on her from above. The lake was about twenty degrees warm and that was in the shallow end. Hinata was standing with one foot on the water the other on her leg. She was standing upright with her hands clasped in front of her as if in a praying position. Her normally expressive eyes were closed with her hair moving around her in the small breeze that always was around the waterfall.

 

“No” Hinata replied as she concentrated pushing the water away from her body. The source of the exercise was complicated yet simple. The simple part was that you just pushed the water away from your body so that you don't get wet. The complicated part is where Tani had a brilliant idea and made the training that mush harder. Hinata now had to wear summer clothes and use her chakra to keep warm along with propelling the water off of her.

 

When Hinata had won the water challenge in the Land of Waves she had completed the requirements of being a Water Master. That didn't mean that Hinata could get away from the challenges of other water sources: rivers, lakes, and the sea. All around Konoha or when Hinata was on missions she challenged for the right to control water. In that short amount of time, Hinata had mastered them all and all that was left was the deep ocean water of an abyss.

 

“You made out with the guy for four hours and you still aren't a couple. What gives did you confess or anything?” Haku was in amazement, if she had spent four hours making out with a guy they had better be in a relationship by god or on a mission. If not that guy was dead.

 

“I'm not Sakura is what I think” Hinata replied icily. “When we stopped kissing he started apologizing repeatedly and then said he was glad that I was his best friend and that nothing would ever come between us not even a little kiss. Then he said that if I ever needed any help or anything he would always be there for me. Then he acted mad that he didn't even get to kiss Sakura and instead had to kiss me. Haku I have eight days until my birthday and my mating season comes in. I don't know what to do.”

 

“There is always seduction” Anko said as she jumped onto the water next to the girls. Anko looked at both girls before raising an eye brow at what Hinata was doing.

 

“Hey Anko-sensei” Haku and Hinata said simultaneously. They had both felt her presence when she entered the area surrounding the Uchiha compound. The security system was top of the time and with some modifications from Tani it was impossible to get into unless your blood was entered into the system. “So what mission do we get to do?”

 

“Hinata what are you doing?” Anko asked watching the girl stand under the waterfall succeeding in her task from Tani. She couldn't help it the curiosity got the best of her and what Hinata did usually had her asking.

 

“Tani gave me a chakra building exercise and here I am” Hinata replied as she began to walk out from under the waterfall after hearing the alarm signaling five hours were up. “So really what kind of mission are we doing?”

 

“Has anyone seen Kusanagi?” Anko asked ignoring the question. She had met Tani on a recent mission and had some serious respect for the demon, especially after Tani kicked her ass royally. “I want to tell you together and can you summon Tani I have some questions for her also.”

 

“He's back at the house reading a book on nature jutsu's with Tani that she brought back from Demon Realm during her last visit. She goes about once a month” Haku answered handing over a jacket to Hinata to help keep her warm. “The reason he is with her is because Tani isn't letting that book out of her sight as it's her only copy, and over three hundred years old.”

 

“Great then this meeting should go smoothly. I have a lot of respect for the woman” Anko started. “Any woman who can keep the Kyuubi in line and still be feminine is someone that deserves respect. Besides she taught me a few tricks no one has thought of.”

 

“Anko to what do we owe the pleasure” Tani called from the couch as they walked into the house. She was sipping hot chocolate in front of the fire reading a book on seals from Kyuubi's personal collection. Since their engagement she was allowed access to his house and possessions. Sitting in the arm chair near her was Kusanagi leaning back reading a thick book.

 

“Tani-sama, team we have a mission that you are allowed to deny if it is your wish.” Anko told the group after grabbing a mug and pouring hot chocolate into it from the thermos sitting on the end table. Sitting down on the couch away from Tani but in front of her team Anko continued. “This is an assassination mission of top priority.”

 

Kusanagi leaned forward in his chair pushing the foot rest down as he leaned forward. “I thought assassination missions were for ANBU only, and we are Genin. Why us what kind of nut job would want us on this mission.”

 

“I choose you and I am not a nut job” Anko replied throwing a kunai at Kusanagi only to have him deflect it from the blade on his arms. “The target is a pedophile that likes short statured girls between the ages of ten and thirteen. He is surrounded by ninjas at all times and he is seen coming and going from a new hidden village. Since I am leading this mission I get to choose my team, but there will be problems. You will still be considered a Genin team and will act as such in front of the village, but in secret you will be in ANBU and taking missions. Do you except?”

 

“I am in but only if the girls are” Kusanagi answered leaning back in the chair to read more of his book. He was confident the girls would say yes, and he was getting to an interesting part of the book. There were some techniques he wanted to try in nature manipulation and with him being part plant it might work.

 

“I take it you have Hinata in mind to play the victim.” Tani answered from her seat as the others sat down. “Why do I need to be at this meeting?”

 

“I know you control her chakra restraints and I need to know if you can raise them so that they do not release chakra at all. We would need to make it so that Hinata appears like a scared child with no ninja training.” Anko answered watching the girls mull the assignment through their heads.

 

“I can do it easily” Tani replied before drinking the last cocoa in her mug. “I am going to bed and Kusanagi leave the book on the table when you leave. I am actually going to sleep upstairs in a bed and finish enjoying my freedom. Hinata no matter what you choose, we still have training tonight.”

 

“I will take the assignment” Hinata answered after mulling her thoughts on the problems. “I train with a Demon how hard it can be to be both a Genin and ANBU. What time and where will be meet Anko-sensei?”

 

“Four in the morning in the Hokage's Office” Anko replied finishing off the rest of her cocoa. “I look forward to seeing you guys there, but be careful Hinata. There is the chance you could get raped, in this assignment. We will try what ever we can to make sure that doesn't happen.”

 

“I know but it's a part of being a kunoichi. See you later Anko-sensei” Hinata called after her teacher. She knew Anko had some packing to do and make piece with going back into ANBU.

 

“Since it's that early I had better head home and pack” Kusanagi said placing the book on the table like Tani requested. He didn't want to admit it to anyone but the Demon scared him and when she said jump he jumped. Forget the how high in the time to ask that she could have killed him, although Anko wasn't much better but her speed he can dodge pretty well.

 

“So what are you going to do Hinata? Are you scared about the possibility of loosing your virginity on this mission?” Haku whispered even though Kusanagi had already left the compound. Even whispering Hinata knew that Tani could here her upstairs.

 

“No because I will be loosing it to Naruto tonight even if I have to tie him up and rape him.” The determination radiated off of Hinata in waves as she looked at the clock. “It's already ten and he should be home. If I am not back by three thirty grab my mission bag that's in the closet. It's already packed and ready to go, incase something should happen. I will be at Hokage Tower by four guaranteed.”

 

“You're going out like that” Haku asked motioning towards Hinata's tank top and short shorts.

 

“No one will see me don't worry” Hinata said as she disappeared into a puddle of water.

 

“I hope you know what you're doing” Haku mumbled before walking to her room to make sure everything was packed.

“Good thinking Dobe” Sasuke Uchiha told his best friend as they were leaving the festival. A death had been adverted tonight or at least that's what it felt like. Naruto Uzumaki had won the ramen eating contest for the third year in a row against Chouji Akimichi, making the robust ninja wanting to commit seppuku for failing at something his family specialized in. It was then that Naruto handed Chouji a formal challenge letter to an all you can eat barbeque contest the next day. “You stopped Chouji from possibly suicide and challenged him formally in a contest you can't win, allowing Chouji to regain his family honor. Hey I'm going to go and see the girls for a while as we haven't seen them at all today. Want to come?”

 

“No I will just go home and finish reading this scroll Kyuubi wants me to learn. Tell the girls I said hi though and that we should get together tomorrow or something.”

 

“Mostly you need Hinata to heal you from the massive stomachache you will be having tomorrow, huh?”

 

“That and hopefully we can get some light sparing in since Kakashi-sensei gave us time off for the festival and we can't train with Itachi-sensei since there are so many people around. Besides it will be good to hang out like we used to before, maybe a night in with movies and popcorn.”

 

“Good idea Dobe, I will ask the girls about it when I get there. I will see you later tonight.”

 

Sasuke headed towards his ancestral home looking forward to seeing the girls again. Once he entered the gates Sasuke could feel the wards that surrounded the compound in effect. The wards were simple anyone not authorized was no allowed to go past the gate. It was so simple yet so complex at the same time. It was something the Uchiha's wanted to do but the Demon Realm has always been able to do. It took Tani all of five minutes to have the gates working as a barrier against intruders.

 

“Anyone home” Sasuke called into the quite house before taking his shoes off at the door.

 

“Up here Sasuke-kun” Haku called down after hearing his greeting. She finished sealing the rest of the stuff she would need for her mission before sealing them into a scroll and placing them in her bag. “So did Naruto manage to avoid Chouji's possible death?”

 

“Yes the Dobe did. He issued a formal challenge for an eating contest at the barbeque place in town. So what are you packing for a mission?” Sasuke asked leaning against Haku's door looking into her room. Sasuke had been in every room in the house but seeing it come to life again always seemed to amaze him. Haku's room was painted a pale blue that had clouds painted on the sealing. Her dresser and bed frame were all in white matching the clouds above. Her bedspread was a light blue and purple plaid that Sasuke wouldn't have associated with the girl. Her floor was a normal light wood with a soft pale blue rug on it that was in the middle of her room. A bookshelf was against one wall that was filled with books and scrolls on different subjects. In another corner of her room was a little white house trimmed in blue that was against the wall. The house looked like it could be a simple doll house until a white rabbit came from the house and jumped onto Haku's bed. “So why did you decide to keep Snowball as a pet again instead of a possible replacement jutsu?”

 

“I had Snowball for years, as it was the only thing dad would let me keep since he was able to be used for a replacement jutsu. Since we are no longer on the run I can keep snowball as a pet now instead. Thank Kami Naruto didn't kill him back when we wanted to kill Tazuna. That reminds me we're going on a mission and might be gone for a while; can you feed Snowball for me?”

 

“Can you tell me about this mission you are going on?” Sasuke asked as he walked in the room and sat on Haku's bed reaching down and petting the rabbit trying not to notice that she was only wearing flannel pajama bottoms that rode low on her hips and a tight tank top that stopped just below her navel but covering her breasts even if she raised her arms. He was also trying not to notice that it looked like she just got out of the shower and her damp hair was making her tank top partially wet showing tantalizing skin in the process. “Or is it one of those things that you can't discuss?”

 

“One of those things that I can't discuss, sorry Sasuke-kun I would love to tell you otherwise. I just know we are leaving in the wee hours of the morning and I don't know when we will be back.”

 

“I know there are some things you can't tell me Haku, it's like that sometimes. I mean we are shinobi, and sometimes secrecy is all we have. I can feed and water Snowball for you while you are gone.”

 

“Really so then you can tell me why I didn't get to participate in the kissing booth yesterday? Did my dad tell you to do it or was Kakashi-sensei afraid he was going to loose the bet to Anko-sensei?” Haku finished placing her bag next to the door along with her normal shinobi clothes and set her alarm as she talked to her crush. Haku tried not to let it be obvious that she liked Sasuke as more than a friend, as she wasn't sure he wanted more or not. Until she knew she was not going to try anything outside of friendship.

 

“I did it of my own free will without the coercion of either your father or Kakashi-sensei.” Sasuke revealed watching the barest of blushes grace Haku's cheeks. If he wasn't looking he wouldn't have noticed it but one thing Sasuke was when concerning Haku and that was observant. Haku walked up to Sasuke and stood next to him her chest about level with his face yet not in his face unless he looked. Haku always made sure that she never shoved her assets in someone's face instead was always polite and gave people other places to look besides on her. He watched as Haku brought a piece of hair behind her ear before she leaned forward, closed her eyes and kissed him on the forehead much like a sister would. At this point Sasuke was gripping the bed's comforter as he tried not to notice she smelled slightly of plums or that if he turned to the right and opened his mouth he could suck on her nipple through her clothes which looked like it was lightly teasing him.

 

“That's sweet Sasuke-kun” Haku smiled softly as she opened her eyes and looked down at her friend noticing the tightness around his jaw and his eyes were closed. She was about to ask what was wrong when he started to talk.

 

“Sweet has nothing to do with it” Sasuke said as he opened his eyes with his Sharingan blazing and he slowly stood up. Before Haku could say anything Sasuke used his years of training in speed and grabbed Haku around the waist and pulled her body flush against his. “I just didn't want anyone else to ever kiss you besides me” Slowly began to lower his lips to her giving her plenty of time to run if she wanted to. In stead she smiled softly as she meet his lips with hers as she places her hands on his arms that were holding her close. `Definitely plums' thought Sasuke as he smirked into the kiss before pulling away slightly watching her lips look darker from being kissed. Her blush was more noticeable as she was breathing heavily. Her heavy-lidded eyes opened giving her a look of complete seduction. Moving her hand up Haku brought it to his neck and pulled him down into another kiss. `Oh yeah my day just got a hell of a lot better' Sasuke thought as he allowed himself to be kissed.

Hinata let herself into her old apartment before resealing the wards that were in place. `The place doesn't look that much different' Hinata thought before she went and knocked on Naruto's door to see if he was there. Normally when someone released the wards on the door someone would stick their head out to see who it was. This time it appeared that no one was home. Opening the door to Naruto's room Hinata wrapped her arms around herself in the familiarity of it. Naruto's room was just so Naruto, and it felt like his chakra warm, kind and loving. She allowed her fingers to trail over his desk with different scrolls on it and what looked like notes on another one.

 

Next to that was his book shelf where she picked up a picture on the original team seven before she left the squad. Running her fingers down the photo a small smile was on Hinata's face and she returned it to its place. Next to that were his goggles that he wore around the village before he received his hitae-ate. Next to that was a picture of Tazuna, Inari, Tsunami and the new baby taken before they left to head home. On the other side of the room was his dresser with some clothes stacked on top of it. Walking towards it Hinata pulled a shirt off the top and held it to her nose taking in the scent that was described as Naruto.

 

Naruto could smell her as soon as he entered the house. `Only one girl smells like water and the ocean when none is around. She even tastes like water' Naruto though before he shook his head trying to get rid of the thoughts. `She's my best friend I can't think of her like that.' Following her scent Naruto caught her smelling his shirt her back was too him showing she was wearing inappropriate clothes for the winter. Her shorts were too short and her shirt had only two strips of fabric keeping it up. From behind it appeared to cling to her body before showing a patch of skin then her shorts started. Naruto was beginning to realize Hinata had a nice body at least from the back and from what he seen of the front in the Land of Waves she had a body most women would kill to possess.

 

“If you wanted a shirt you could have just asked Hinata” Naruto called out as he walked into the room watching a small blush grace her face after getting caught. Taking the shirt from her Naruto began to take care of his clothes before wondering “so what are you doing here?”

 

When she didn't answer Naruto turned and watched her chewing on her lower lip and twiddling her fingers in front of her. “Hinata what is it” Naruto asked as he sat down on his bed looking at the girl as she appeared to be nervous and contemplating what she was doing. Hinata wrapped her arms around his head to draw him closer to her she than pulled Naruto in for a hug completely ignoring the fact that Naruto's face was partially in and partially out of her tank top resting her head on top of his.

 

Naruto had his eyes shut as he tried to ignore that his senses. His eyes were closed so that he wouldn't look down her shirt. His nose was just over the top of her tank top breathing in her scent of water. His chin and mouth were pressed against her ample chest pushing her cleavage further surrounding his nose. Naruto knew that if he opened his eyes he would have a nosebleed from being that up close and personal with a woman's chest. Naruto thought he was in heaven before he was abruptly thrown from his bliss. `She's my friend I can't think of her like this it isn't right. Anyone else though I wouldn't feel so guilty' Naruto thought as he placed his hands on both sides of her hips and pulled her away from him enough to move his head away from her chest.

 

Naruto felt Hinata's hands unwrap from his head but still felt her hands on him. Seconds later he felt her lips press against his in a soft kiss. Within moments Naruto found his mouth ravenously attacked as Hinata shoved her tongue in his mouth. Naruto felt the bed shift next to him as Hinata began to straddle his lap with her knees on the bed. Naruto wrapped his arms around Hinata's body as he ran his hands up and down her back as he brought his tongue out to wrestle with hers. Hinata's hands found their way to his hitae-ate which she swiftly untied and tossed on the back. In need of air they quickly broke apart panting heavily as Hinata pulled her tank top over her head leaving her in a strapless white bra. Without giving Naruto a chance to say anything Hinata began to attack Naruto's mouth with hers again.

 

`I can't do this. I have a shirtless Hinata in my lap making out with me. Gaara's going to kill me and that's not counting the Uchiha brothers. I can't let this get any further.' Naruto thought as brought his hands down to her hips and gently pulled her away from him.

 

“Hinata I can't make out or do anything with you you're my best friend it wouldn't be right.” Naruto said as he opened his eyes and watched as Hinata's face looked impassive except for the brief hit of emotion in her eyes. Naruto noticed at that time that Hinata was in a bra that looked to be barely restraining what looked to be a D-cup bust. `Why do I have the feeling that she is bigger than what that bra suggests. Sweet Kami why me, why couldn't it be anyone else besides Hinata wanting to seduce me?' Naruto thought briefly before opening his eyes again and noticed her heaving chest proving that he was right. The bra was barely restraining her. Naruto shot down the lust he felt growing in him when he pictured Gaara about to kill him with his sand saying over and over again “I trusted you Uzumaki and you violated my sister.” Looking down away from her bust he noticed the smallness of her waist and the light muscles that were her abs. `Sweet Kami please have mercy on me and get me out of this situation. I don't think I can take much more' Naruto thought as he made his silent prayer. “Hinata please put your shirt on I can't talk to you like this.”

 

Quickly grabbing her discarded tank top Hinata pulled it on as Naruto watched in amazement as her breasts looked to shrink her massive chest down to a B cup on its own. “Naruto you said that you were my friend and would do anything for me. Were you lying?” Hinata asked needing to know the answer.

 

“Hinata I would die for you. I would kill for you, please tell me what's wrong so I can help you. What ever it is I will try and help you, but does it require you loosing your clothes? I thought we decided that we're just friends and us making out yesterday was just a fluke.” Sincerity rang through Naruto's voice. It was true he would die for her and kill for her. She after all was one of his precious people and one of the longest he has had to date but her throwing clothes off was throwing his priorities off.

 

“Naruto I need you to sleep with me” Hinata replied as she began chewing on her lip, her nerves were definitely getting to her. She had never asked someone to sleep with her before and this was a first time so she really didn't have anything to go by and Anko's suggestion of seduction obviously didn't work or they wouldn't be talking right now. Sure she could rape him but that wouldn't go over to well.

 

“WHAT. No Hinata I can't do that. That's something you should do with someone else not me.” Naruto pleaded; no matter what he was expecting Hinata to say this wasn't it. He never thought Hinata would ask him to sleep with her; it just went against everything he knew about her. “You can ask me anything else but you can't ask that of me.”

 

Naruto watched as Hinata took a deep breath and squared her shoulders. “Alright I won't ask you to do it.” Looking at the clock she noticed it was already two in the morning, she only had two hours left before she was to meet her team. “It's late do you know where Kiba Inuzuka lives?” Hinata asked with renewed determination. If she wasn't going to loose it to Naruto then she had to pick someone else. “Maybe I can talk him into it. Sorry for troubling you Naruto” Hinata said before turning on her heels and begin to walk away.

 

“So now your going to go whoring yourself to lose your virginity and to Kiba of all people. What the hell is wrong with you Hinata, you were never like this before. Why is it so important for you to lose your virginity tonight? Save it for someone you love.” Naruto wasn't sure of what to make of the situation, but what he did know was that he didn't want it to be with Kiba. Some reason it just rubbed him the wrong way in regards to Kiba's attention to Hinata, and he really didn't want anyone else looking at her body.

 

“I preferred not to lose it to Kiba but outside of sitting in a bar and sleeping with someone I don't know what am I going to do. I'm going on a mission tomorrow where I will be used as bait to catch a pedophile. Worse case scenario I will get raped in the next few days and” Hinata turned around and glared at Naruto. “I don't want my first time to be because I got raped so I thought I could ask you. Someone I trusted and someone I loved and have some chemistry with. I've known you forever Naruto and I thought it would be something you would be able to help me with without casting accusations at my character. But since you aren't willing to help me I need to find someone who will. Good night Naruto.”

 

“Hinata wait” Naruto called out not sure what to say. He was still sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. He had heard her stop moving and could still feel her chakra in his room. `I did kiss her for four hours yesterday and can admit the though of doing more is tempting but this is Hinata my childhood friend who has a killer body. She needs to lose her virginity and I am very curious about sex. There is definitely love and mutual affection as friends between us, but if we have sex will it be weird. What if we have sexual urges between us, will they be harder to ignore now that we've actually had sex outside of masturbation?' Those thoughts and a million others were flowing through his head at high speeds and Naruto needed some of them answered. “If we have sex would it make things weird between us? Would that make us in a relationship when we are only just friends? Will this be an only one time thing? Hinata I need to know?”

 

Hinata knew the questions he was asking, but also knew he wasn't able to handle a confession of any type from her at the moment decided to help them both out. She knew he was a male and as that had curiosity in sex. Walking back towards Naruto Hinata sat down next to him on the bed. “Naruto if you do this for me I will be willing to make a proposition towards you.”

 

“What type of proposition are you thinking?”

 

“I know we aren't dating or see each other like that” `alright so you don't see me like that' Hinata thought quickly before continuing “but I do know we are both curious about sex, we are teenagers after all. I propose a kind of `friends with benefits' promise or agreement as it were. Basically if you are willing to sleep with me tonight and we both find it mutually enjoyable then we can continue to have sex if the need arises, needs meaning sexual urges that could come up.”

 

“Alright now what happens if either of us decides to date someone then what? Wouldn't that just ruin our friend ship completely and I know that if either of us was with someone else then we could still have sex together?”

 

“Naruto if no one else knows we are doing this who is going to tell? I certainly won't and besides I'm not saying that we have to date or anything. In fact if one of us gets a girl or boy friend than the benefits instantly stop. If we have sex it will be mutually exclusive between the two of us. Failure to abide by these rules is an instant stopping of the benefits.”

 

“I need to think about it Hinata, besides what happens if you go on this mission and don't get raped. I don't want you to feel guilty that you gave me something special. I'm sorry Hinata but until I can think about it my answer is no. I'm sorry I can't help you, but I just don't think I could do it. If it's any consolation I have complete faith in your ninja abilities Hinata. I think you will be fine. You're fretting over a small possibility Hinata, you are stronger than that.”

 

“Anyone but me, huh Naruto it's always anyone but me' Hinata muttered under her breath. “You know what Naruto I'm sorry also. I'm sorry I will be breaking our friendship. Goodbye Naruto.” Hinata replied before disappearing into mist and out into the night. She needed a shower before her mission to make sure she's clean, and also to wipe away evidence she may have of crying.

 

Naruto sat on his bed with his head in his hands wondering how everything went to hell so fast. Little did he know that tonight would forever change things between them. He really should have took her up on her offer.
