Honeysuckle Tea

[All right folks, this is it. Chapter 4 is the last part of the story. Simple as that. Don't forget to review, thanks. ^__^]

Because of Kumogakure's location, they had to scale a vertical wall of rock and trees that extended way beyond the clouds, and with their loads, it took most of the day to accomplish, leaving them utterly exhausted when they reached the top.
"Y'know... (Huff) I think... (Huff) That would be great... (Huff) training, -ttebayo," Naruto panted as they found a row of benches outside one of the many hot springs. Hinata only nodded, clutching at a stitch in her side. They watched the citizens of the village pass by, not giving them a second glance as they went about their daily business... Once they had caught their breath, they began walking, looking for a place to stay.
"Naruto-kun! Look, there's a nice little inn...," Hinata pointed to a tiny old inn that was just as shabby looking as they one they stayed at in the Tea Country. Naruto snorted and took her by the hand.
"Don't be silly, Hinata-chan! We've got money now!" Naruto lead her to a more luxurious hotel. It wasn't a five star resort, but still aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Hinata just couldn't keep still; it was as though the old Hinata had been left back at Konoha. Kumogakure was a place of beauty the likes of which she had never seen. A chilled wind cut through the heavy heat of the many hot springs and left her with a feeling of refreshment and vitality, only vaguely aware of how they ended up in their room on the sixth floor.
"Naruto-kun... This place, i-it's... amazing!"
"Yeah.. It's pretty sweet here. Kumogakure is known as the resort capital of the world after all," Naruto said as he put their bags down near the door and joined her out on the balcony. Being above the stifling clouds of steam, the air was much colder up here, driving them back inside. The room itself was large and spacious, it was intended to accommodate a party of at least six. The clerk however said there weren't any smaller rooms and in the end offered it to them for the same price as a two-bed room. They had a table next to the sliding glass door, a vase of fresh flowers stood in the middle, a television set stood in a cabinet, the walls were masterfully painted and adorned with several poetic scrolls. Three doors led to three bedrooms, two with a pair of twin-sized beds, the larger one contained a singe queen sized bed with a dresser and night stand.
"Right. Well I'm gonna get my stuff and start putting it in the other room. You can have this one and-" Naruto began nervously but was cut short when Hinata clung to him.
"Naruto-kun... I really don't... w-want to sleep alone. P-please stay with... me?" Hinata looked up into the bright blue eyes of Naruto. For a long moment he neither spoke or moved, something was wrong with his voice, and only nodded. Hinata smiled in an odd sort of way, something almost like a sorrowful grimace. She walked forward and limply wrapped herself around Naruto's middle who returned the hug. In the following hours, Naruto and Hinata made themselves at home, unpacking their things and placing them in drawers or on shelves.
"So who should we visit first?" Naruto asked through the closed door to the room while Hinata got into normal clothing. Naruto himself wore a loose black T-shirt with an orange swirl on the back and his orange trousers. Thinking it best to show that they were here to enjoy themselves, they had decided not to wear tactical gear and kept their head plates in their pockets, along with a few concealed shuriken or kunai in case they needed them. Hinata pulled her white sweatshirt down, which had the Yin-Yang sewn on the back, and walked out of the room.
"How about Hatsuka and Fuyuhachi-san? Do... Do you know where to find them?" Naruto nodded and made sure his wallet and head plate where on him.
"All right, let's go!"
They may have been on vacation, but why go through the trouble of walking when the Shunshin jutsu was much faster? Though it was a bit challenging as buildings here usually stood in clusters before a large gap opened between the next clusters of buildings. Below them people were out enjoying the hot springs, not paying them any mind as they raced to the edge of the village. There, a large farm house stood near the rim of the mesa, back dropped by mammoth white cumulus clouds and surrounded by lush green grass. The day was spent largely with Hatsuka and Fuyu who had so far grown as close to each other as Naruto and Hinata had. Tobikuma, they told them, was aiding the search for Tobi, who had last been seen near the coast line. Days passed, amounting to an unforgettably good time for the two, it all went by so quickly, and before they were even able to catch their breath, it was already halfway through their vacation.
"Ahhh....," Naruto sighed blissfully as he slid into the hot water of a spring. It was late at the hotel now, so only he and Hinata were out. She too was enjoying the special properties of the water here, which contained fewer minerals and gave the water a softer feel and cleaner scent. Naruto had his arms spread across the rim and chuckled, watching Hinata who was in the water up to her chin, looking too at peace with the world to care that she was covered only with a towel. Hinata turned her head slightly to look at Naruto, blushing gently at him and receiving one in return.

(Three years earlier)
"K-Kurenai-sensei.... I... I...," a fourteen year old Hinata barely poked her head out from behind the locker room wall, on the verge of tears, she looked imploringly at her sensei who was wrapped in nothing but a towel.
"Hinata, I know it's an uncomfortable situation for you... But in a ninja's line of work, more often than not, a kunoichi's line of work, you'll be forced to be in a situation like this. Come on now," Kurenai said gently but firmly. Hinata timidly slid out into view, arms drawn close to her body, she shivered slightly in her towel even though it was stuffy out near the hot spring. In the hot water already was Shino, sitting in the steamy water with his eyes closed, sunglasses sat on the rock right next to him. From the look of it, he didn't find the idea of 'mixed bathing' with his teammates anymore appealing than she did, except his expression was one of irritation instead of all consuming embarrassment. Kurenai was having them do this to build confidence. By putting them in a highly uncomfortable position such as being nearly nude in front of each other, they would eventually be desensitized against similar situations. Kunoichi, especially, sometimes might be asked to pose as escorts or prostitutes to get near a target, and being so flustered and shy would result in a failed mission. Hinata shuffled over slowly and lowered herself into the water, making sure her towel stayed securely on her body.
"All right! Time for a bath, Akamaru!" Kiba shouted as he and Akamaru, now roughly Kiba's size, came running out of the changing room and jumped into the water, sending water everywhere. Hinata had only just wiped the hair out of her eyes when Kiba stood up again. A lone towel floated in the middle of the spring, which turned out to be the one that was supposed to be covering him. By the time she realized it, she was looking upon the first naked boy she'd ever seen. Not even sure how a boy was different from a girl, she could've guessed what was there even if she hadn't seen it now. Like an extra limb extending from between Kiba's legs, reaching mid-thigh and as thick as garden snake, was her definite answer.
"Yahoo! Ahhh, the water feels great, eh, Akamaru?!" Kiba said cheerfully to his giant white dog who barked in agreement, completely unaware of his teammates' reactions. Shino had put his glasses back on and held a raised fist which swarmed with a cloud of insects, Kurenai's eyes had gone wide and couldn't help but blush slightly at the sight of... Kiba. Hinata on the other hand was slowly being consumed by panic and finally let out an earth shattering shriek, leaping out of the hot spring and sprinting back to the dressing rooms where Kurenai found her fully dressed and huddled on the floor.
"Hinata...?" she asked gently. "Hinata, Hinata, Hinata-" Kurenai's voice was changing, it sounded more like...

"Oi, Hinata-chan...?" Naruto was bent over her, shaking her slightly. "Hinata...?"
Her vision slid back into focus, she had fallen asleep in the hot water.
"Hm?"
"It's getting late, we should go back up and get something to eat, dattebayo."
"Oh... Um, right."
Back in the room, now dressed in evening yukata, Hinata's patterned with green on white and Naruto's white on navy blue. Naruto had a small feast sent up from the hotel's restaurant. Sushi arranged neatly on one platter, a bowl of ramen each, and grilled eel on rice.
"Aw man! They just sent us hot water! I ordered green tea, not boiling tap water!" Naruto was about to have someone fix the mistake but Hinata suddenly realized the tea leaves her father had given them.
"Actually... I-it's okay, Naruto-kun... My father sent me with some special tea leaves Shikamaru's mother made," Hinata said in a breathy voice, Naruto tilted his head in question. "He- He thought we might like it... It was the kind he and my mother used to drink together." Hinata had quickly gone to their room and came back with the slender package.
"Yeah? What kind is it?" Naruto asked her as she began mixing the leaves in with the hot water.
"Honeysuckle Tea," almost immediately, a fragrance like that of the Yamanaka flower shop wafted through the air. Once it was finished brewing, they drank as they ate. It was like a well matched wine with their food, as if it was made for this specific food. The tea itself was just as Hiashi had described it, 'exquisite'. It tasted like the lightly sweet nectar of a Honeysuckle flower, and in this cold climate, warmed them up pleasantly from the inside.

(Back in Konoha...)
"Hey... Hiashi," Shikaku Nara had just strolled up to the Hyuga Lord, giving him a slight wave. Hiashi looked over the rim of his tea cup to see the scraggly and matted appearance of the weather-beaten man.
"What is it you want with me, Shikaku?" Hiashi asked coolly.
"Yoshino let slip that she sold you some Honeysuckle Tea. It’s normally not my style to poke around... But as you no longer have a wife, I was just a little curious as to why you bought some," Shikaku raised an eyebrow at Hiashi who only took another sip of tea before setting his mug down.
"For Naruto-san and Hinata," Hiashi fixed Shikaku with a stony glare that dared him to repeat the words. "I wanted to give it to her as a precaution, in case her feelings for the boy got the better of her. The Hyuga clan doesn't need any new heirs at the moment."
"Oh man, what a drag... I'm sorry I asked. Excuse me for bothering you, it just seemed... Never mind, I better go before my wife finds out I'm slacking off. Good luck," with that he vanished in a cloud of smoke, leaving before he said something to further annoy Hiashi.

(Kumogakure.)
"Wow, this stuff's pretty good. I don't remember having such an awesome cup of tea before, dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed sometime later. Hinata said nothing, now feeling those familiar butterflies again, not touching another bite of her food which she offered to Naruto.
"Saa... That hit the spot. Thanks, Hinata," Naruto said patting his stomach and laughing. Hinata however didn't laugh, she wasn't exactly sure why, but something prompted her to get up from her seat and float dreamily over to Naruto who was now looking up at her perplexed. "Hinata...?"
"Naruto-kun...," she breathed, her cheeks aflame, swooping down on him as softly as a descending crane, folding her arms around him. Naruto sat there a little confused, but all the same he was hit by a hot swooping sensation somewhere in the pit of his stomach that had nothing to do with the Kyubi, it spread all the way to his limbs like quicksilver.
"Hi-Hinata....? Nani-"
"Thank you... Naruto-kun. For everything you've done for me...," Hinata didn't look up at him, but tightened her grip on him. "I love you," She whispered softly. A second wave of warmth raged within him, he stood up with Hinata who clutched tightly at the shoulders of his yukata, pulling him close.
"I love you too, Hinata-chan. What is this all of the sudden, eh?" Naruto giggled, lifting her head up so he could see her beautiful face. Hinata had merely mouthed the word 'Naruto' before closing her eyes and receiving his tender kiss. The kettle stood half full on the table, forgotten as the two of them walked blindly into their room, sliding the door shut. The shoji lamp next to the bed cast a soft pale yellow glow over them. Hinata only seemed to be dimly aware of what she was doing at first as they kissed each other deeply and passionately, but when they broke away for a short breath and she caught a glimpse of his eyes, and feeling her own heart pounding against her ribs, everything became clear. Naruto stayed silent, as if expecting Hinata to say or do something before carefully guiding her down onto the bed. She raised a knee that poked out of her yukata exposing a bare leg. Naruto looked down at Hinata who seemed to be breathing a little hard, her cheeks alive with color, arms drawn up in front of her.
"Please... Naruto-kun. I-... I," she whispered almost pleadingly. He was tingling all over and felt short of breath, sensitive to even the gentle movement of the air inside the room. As Naruto climbed onto the bed, Hinata sat up, locking her lips onto his as she tugged at his obi a little impatiently until it finally slid off Naruto's waist, and tossed it aside. Naruto shrugged his yukata off his shoulders to expose his bare chest, the gleaming peacock-green gem that he won from Tsunade twinkled merrily at her as it caught the light of the lamp. Hinata placed a hand on him, his muscles felt as though he was carved from the side of the mesa, and began brushing her lips against his chest. He fought back giggles whenever she found a ticklish spot, her soft warm lips, the tip of her tiny nose, and the feathery quality of her dark hair felt good on his skin. Hinata placed another soft kiss on his lips before lying back down. She smiled slightly, noticing that he wore boxers of the same pattern since when they were still Genin, except they were Black with orange bars instead of green with orange. Hinata closed her eyes gently as she felt her own obi being removed and discarded, as was her yukata soon after. Naruto looked down at her, blushing quite deeply himself this time. She was wearing a sarashi top and sarashi bottoms, but instead of linen wrappings, they were made of a more lustrous material which Naruto recognized as white silk. The knots had been tied at the front this time instead of the back, and wrapped quite tightly around her.
Naruto's fingers worked at the knots that seemed reluctant to come undone, after a while, Hinata's hands, trembling slightly, helped him undo each one. The floor then received two lengths of gleaming white silk which coiled itself silently on top of of their discarded clothes. Naruto drew the blankets over Hinata and himself, looking down and the naked beauty upon the sheets. Every inch of Hinata was a powdery porcelain white, her breasts now displayed quite plainly were even more beautiful than he remembered, modest in size and each topped by a pale pink bud. Her waist and hips curved gently, making her long slender legs appear even longer. His eyes followed them up to their place of origin, where a small neat patch of hair rested. Naruto could feel himself reddening and becoming short of breath again, laying down next to Hinata and turning on his side, wrapping his arms around her to engaging her in more passionate kissing. Like Naruto, the life of a shinobi had made Hinata's body quite firm as well, without even half an inch of fat to cushion her muscles. Hinata tilted her head back as Naruto began to dot her neck with kisses, while her wandering hand found the waist of the last bit of clothing he wore. When Naruto kept on as though he had not noticed, she slid them halfway off his hips but was unable to go any further. Naruto backed away and took them off himself.
"Hinata... Are you sure?" Naruto whispered leaning over her now.
"Mhm.... I-I... I really am, Naruto-kun," Hinata murmured in response. Her eyes traveled down to his erect manhood, judging it to be about eight inches in length, thick and muscular looking, the sight of it further aroused her as she took his hand and guided it down her body. Naruto brushed her stomach with his finger tips as she moved his hand to where she wanted it. He looked at her briefly, making sure he wasn't misunderstanding her as she spread her long legs apart slightly and gripped the sheets. Unsure of what to really do, he cupped her womanhood with his hand, feeling her tense quickly and relax in response to finally being touched. He felt a narrow slit in the flesh there with his finger, finding it to be incredibly warm and slick. Hinata squirmed as Naruto spread the folds apart, exploring her, until...
"Naruto-kun!" she gasped suddenly as one of his fingers found the opening to her body, sliding in a ways. Naruto withdrew his hand hastily.
"Hinata, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"N-no... I'm all right... Please continue," she sighed. It had hurt quite a bit, Naruto's fingers were a lot larger than her own and she hadn't expected it yet. "Just be... Gentle."
Naruto, curious, pulled the blankets back and looked down at Hinata's sex. The way it looked as he parted the folds again, was that of a blooming flower, every fold like a delicate petal, translucent and slightly viscous fluid trickled from her like nectar, finally seeing why Kakashi-sensei had compared girls to sakura blossoms. He continued with caution this time, carefully sliding his finger back in. Hinata's grip on the sheets tightened, it still hurt, like a deep aching pain, but at the same time, it was extraordinarily pleasurable, especially now that the pain was slowly ebbing away. Small muffled moans escaped through her nose with every other movement of Naruto's hand while his finger was withdrawn and reentered in a slow rhythm. After a while she started rocking her hips back and forth in sync with his hand, the pleasure now quickly mounting.
"Na-Naruto-kun...?" Hinata sat up a little, looking up at Naruto who removed his hand from between her legs, he didn't say anything but looked questioningly at her. "C-can I...?" Hinata reached over and gently took Naruto's hard length in her hand feeling how warm it was, noting how it was both soft and pliable, but firm at the same time.
"Here.. Like this, Hinata-chan," Naruto whispered, taking her hand and closing it around the shaft of his manhood. "And just move your hand up and down like this...," Naruto, with his hand still on hers, slid her enclose hand up and down a few times, before letting go so she could do it herself. Hinata looked up at him while she slid her hand slowly up and down, watching him close his eyes lazily, his chest rising and falling. Naruto was lost in the sensation when he opened his eyes again and pushed two fingers inside Hinata's body, sliding them in and out a little faster this time. She grasped him harder in response and moved her hand faster, matching the tempo of his fingers inside her. The pair of them began to sweat lightly as they pleased each other in ways that they had only ever done separately in private, until...
Naruto's eyes widened in surprise for a moment as he felt the inside of Hinata tighten around his fingers, just as his manhood throbbed forcefully in her hand. Hinata had her back slightly arched, mouth opened, giving a loud shuddering gasp ending with a small squeak. Fluid spilled warm and wet over his hand just before her body relaxed again and fell back upon the bed. Just then, Hinata felt a hot, thick fluid splash across her stomach and run down her arm.
Hinata looked down and saw her naval glisten in places where his seed had fallen and blushed when she saw Naruto hold up a hand that was half coated him her come. She looked up at him, seeing him gazing fondly back down at her, seeing a trace of anticipation in his eyes. Hinata held out her arms, Naruto then positioned himself above her. Hinata looked up into his eyes without blinking, spreading her legs wider as he lowered himself upon her. This was it... Hinata could tell by the look on his face he was having a little difficultly proceeding and patiently reached out, gently taking his manhood into her hands. She was secretly grateful that Naruto wasn't as large as Kiba... Not when just one of Naruto's fingers hurt so. With Hinata's help, Naruto slowly moved forward, feeling his body starting to combine with hers until he could go no further. It was something amazing. So this is what everybody had been talking about... Those stupid allusions of Kakashi-sensei's or Ero-sennin's vague hints. Naruto's breathing had now become audible; the sensation was nothing he had ever felt before. It was beyond words, his heart bursting with affection for the girl below him and his body responding with sensations of deepest pleasure as the snug, wet, warmth of Hinata's body completely sheathed him. It was all she could do to keep from screaming with pain, or pleasure, perhaps both as Naruto had fully entered her, feeling both the softness but the stiffness of his sex forcing the walls inside her to widen. She held him tightly in her arms and tried to keep her body relaxed... Again, the pain was slowly replaced, both by the unyielding affection for the boy she now shared herself with and the waves of pleasure crashing through her like water on rock. Staying quiet had become next to impossible, forcing at the very least a whimpering gasp from Hinata or a gentle moan from Naruto.
"N-N... Naruto-kun," she managed to breathe out.
"Y-yeah...?"
"You have to move...," Hinata said gasping out a tiny laugh. Naruto, who had just laid there on top of her, momentarily forgot about anything else, stealing himself a smile before slowly withdrawing himself most of the way and then just as slowly reentering. Naruto couldn't explain it, even to himself how it felt. Sure it felt great, but there was something else beyond what his body could feel... It was ethereal, somewhere deep inside the realm of his soul, something rooted more firmly than even the Kyubi's chakra. Hinata exhaled softly near his ear, trying valiantly to keep the volume of her voice under control. The intensity of the sensation was becoming harder to contain as she moved her hips to meet his whenever he came forward, one hand on the back of his head
"Faster... Please, Naruto-kun," Naruto could barely make out what she had said through her moans, but nodded slightly, moving his hips back and forth faster. Hinata's soft sighs quickly became small shouts, moving with him and further spread her legs apart. Naruto placed an open mouthed kiss over her lips, feeling Hinata's tongue attempting to wrap itself around his, her yelps becoming grunts forced through her nose. It had become quite hot now, both of them dripping with sweat among other things.
"Hi-! Hinata-chan... What if I-?" Naruto whispered in her ear, he felt himself getting close, wondering if continuing was wise, but Hinata cut across him, panting.
"It's okay, Naruto-kun..." she too was reaching that point, making breathing rather difficult and gasping her words quickly, embracing him almost painfully tight, "I want you to, I need you to,” she whispered breathlessly. Though ready or not, it was too late now, that very moment Naruto felt for a second time Hinata's vaginal walls tighten and relax in quick secession, sending another wave of hot fluid washing over him and wetting the sheets beneath them. Hinata on the other hand felt Naruto's seed flooding her inside, which was even warmer than what her own body had produced, causing her to wrap her legs around his waist and pull him down even harder. Both of them voiced their final climatic moans before falling limply upon each other. Naruto, in shape and his endurance high had never felt so inexplicably exhausted... What they had done in maybe an hour and a half felt more like several hours hard training, and yet, like everything else, this exhaustion didn't feel just physical. He rolled off Hinata, who too sounded and looked as though she ran up and down the side of the mesa twice. Naruto sat up, placing a hand under Hinata's head and bringing her up into his arms. She looked at him, still breathing a little hard, hair messy, her face as flushed and sweaty as he'd ever seen it, but he had never seen anything so precious in all his life.
They really had no strength for talking much, merely kissing each other...
"Naruto-kun....," Hinata whispered.
"Hm? What's up...?" Naruto said quietly in reply, beaming down at his love, eyes swimming with tears that looked as though they might start pouring down his face.
"Naruto-kun... Are-... Are you all right?" she asked, slightly alarmed.
"Never better, dattebayo," he said hoarsely, a couple crystalline tears rolling down his cheeks. Hinata wasn't far behind and cried happily along with him, giggling among the gentle sniffling. Naruto felt sort of silly, falling to pieces this way, wiping his eyes on the back of his hand, all of the sudden feeling incredibly light, as though he could jump a mile into the air and fly. They just sat there, holding each other... It was only after maybe ten minutes when Naruto opened his eyes again. A scent that he noticed to be Hinata's mingled with his own, making him feel slightly aroused again. Hinata noticed it too, the distinctive scent of sex filling her nostrils and prompting the dormant butterflies inside to flutter a little. It seemed familiar though, somehow, to the both of them...
"Uhm, Naruto-kun...?"
"Yeah, Hinata?"
She blushed deeply again, adverting her gaze, "M-maybe we should... Um... Maybe we should take a shower a-and change our sheets before going to sleep." The area beneath Hinata was soaked and becoming noticeably colder, she also felt sticky with sweat as did the area between her legs which was still coated in their combined come.
"I think that's a good idea, dattebayo," Naruto said grinning sheepishly, climbing out of bed. Hinata followed him, her knees still trembling a little as she walked into the bathroom behind him.
She joined him under the stream of hot water, feeling more awake now. Naruto turned and faced her, taking a wash cloth and gently washing her body. She made no protest, allowing him to place his mouth over wherever the cloth touched her. Naruto softly kissed her breasts, Hinata backed into the tiled wall to support herself as he kissed her ever lower, slowly being overcome by the feeling again. She felt the wash cloth pass under her legs and cried out in mild surprise when she felt his mouth over her womanhood, struggling to stay standing as his tongue stroked back and forth, even penetrating her body a moment before he stood back up. She took the cloth from him, except she didn't bother to use it, instead finding his scars again, tracing them with her tongue. Even with the Kyubi's powers, some of the wounds were too deep to be healed all the way. Eventually she came face-to-face with Naruto's sex... Hinata was sitting on her knees, just taking the time so look at it properly. It seemed extraordinary that he was able to fit all the way inside her. Naruto looked down at the top of her dark haired head, but closed his eyes with a long protracted sigh as he felt her mouth fit over him. She was careful not to let her teeth rake across the sensitive skin as she slid her mouth over his manhood, tongue stroking up against it as she did this...
The steam from the shower continued to pour from under the door for quite some time, until they reemerged, towels wrapped around their bodies. Naruto stripped the bed and set the sheets in a hamper inside the closet, while Hinata took clean bedding and put it on the bed. Bathed, refreshed, and with clean linen, they snuggled up under the blankets, feeling sleep coming for them.
"Naruto-kun...?" Hinata said shyly as he reached over and turned the lamp off with a small click.
"What is it, Hinata?"
She pulled him a little closer, resting her head on his chest.
"I love you..."
Naruto felt another powerful wave of affection threatening to escape in the form of tears again and pulled her close.
"I love ya too, Hinata... With everything that I am," He kissed her goodnight and closed his eyes.

(Four days later)
"Thanks for dropping by you guys! It was good seeing you. Maybe I'll drag Fuyu-kun along and visit you in Konoha whenever we get a break!" Hatsuka said hugging them both.
"Well try and do it soon. I hear the village is considering you as the sixth Raikage once old lady Yugito retires. After that you'll be up to your eyes in paperwork, dattebayo!" Naruto said gleefully.
Hatsuka didn't say anything, trying to be modest but was betrayed by her wide grin.
"We'll go and see ya soon. It'll be a bit of a surprise why, but we're keep it a secret for now," Fuyu said going slightly pink and placing an arm around Hatsuka who now had gone the color of her hair.
"Hai! Sayonara, Hatsuka-san, Fuyuhachi-san!" Hinata said happily, running forward and giving them a large hug each. "We'll be waiting for you back in Konoha. And whatever this surprise is, we'll see about throwing a party at my place for it! Bye!"
Hatsuka and Fuyu watched the pair of them speed off to other side of the village, slightly stunned.
"D-did Hinata seem more friendly than normal to you?" Fuyu asked Hatsuka, utterly confused.
"Uh-huh. It's definitely weird to see her so cheerful and sunny like that," Hatsuka replied, shaking her shaggy head. Tobikuma had just appeared, whispering into their ears what he thought to be the reason why.
Hinata and Naruto... It was like a wall had been brought down, everything just seemed less intimidating now. She even giggled as she thought she heard Hatsuka and Fuyu's combined exclamation, "They WHAT?!"
Naruto glanced over to her and smiling from ear to ear and Hinata returned it with a grin of her own.
~Oeru.

[Well I hope you all enjoyed my story! Let me know how you liked or disliked it. I will not be continuing Hinata and Naruto's story further, but stories of other pairings with a parallel to this one will show up if enough people ask for it. So let me know what other pairings you'd like to see and I'll consider them. Again, thank you for reading. :3]
