Mission's End
Raven broke his mental link near sunrise as he returned to full alertness as he prepares to begin a task he was unable to accomplish the previous night. Careful not to wake Hinata, as she currently snuggled his chest, he removes himself from the nude girl’s embrace and begins getting dressed.
He leaves his mask and sunglasses behind as he moves throughout the forest, placing a chakra laced hand against every body of the dead missin-nin. Once the last body has been prepared he performs the single-handed seals before returning to camp.
The sounds of explosions wake Hinata as she quickly jumps to her feet ready for an attack that never comes. It takes a few moments to realize that she’s standing in the center of their camp completely naked for any who happen by to see. She quickly picks up the cloak that had served as her blanket the previous night and wraps it tightly around herself as she looks for her clothes, only to find them drying by the dying embers of the campfire.
“Good you’re awake,” a voice calls from behind her. Turning around she is relieved to find Raven stepping out from between the trees. “Get dressed and we can go home, Kiba and the others are probably worried sick about you by now.” She watches as he turns around to give her some privacy but remains where he is as he sits down on the grass with his back towards her.
Hinata blushes as she realizes what must have happened after she passed out. Kurenai-sensei had covered the treatment for Hypothermia during their survival training. She knew that if the others were already back in Konoha then he was the one that had removed her clothes and warmed her with his own body heat. She quickly pulls her panties on before pulling on her pants and shirt, not even bothering with the bandage she normally wore over her young breasts.
“Thank-thank you Raven-kun,” she says as she begins pulling on her sandals. “I owe you my life.”
“You don’t owe me anything,” he tells her with an almost self-loathing tone. “It was my instructions that nearly got you and your teammates killed. I never should have had you three fight him, I should have handled all three myself.”
“You-you’re wrong Raven-kun.” she says walking towards him. “He was too powerful, you would have-you could have been…” She can’t finish her sentence as tears threaten to flow from the thought of him dying.
“Better me then the rest of you,” he tells her. “I was responsible for your safety and I failed.” He feels her arms around him as she begins to cry into his back. “When I saw you trapped like that my heart nearly broke,” he admits. “I don’t ever want to feel that way again. There’s a teaching position opening up at the Academy at the end of the month,” he tells her. “I want you to take it.”
Hinata pulls away and looks at him as her whole world shatters around her. Here was a man she was only beginning to know telling her she should stop being a shinobi. Fresh tears begin to race down her face as she stands up and turns to runaway.
His hand grabs her arm as he pulls her around to look at him. Opal meets near black as they stare into the other’s eyes. “You’re too kind and gentle to be a shinobi,” he tells her. “While some might see that as weakness, your compassion for others is your greatest strength. If you remain a shinobi you’ll either lose that gentleness r your life and both are unacceptable to me.” He pulls her towards him as his arms surround her in a warm, soothing embrace.
“I don’t know how or why, but in the brief time I’ve known you I’ve come to depend on your gentle strength when we’re together. Just the thought of your friendly smile and gentle voice reminds me that there really are things in this life worth living for. After everything I’ve seen and done these last few years I’ve found few truly good people in this world and I don’t want to lose the one I’m holding now. I know that I have no right to ask you to give up your duty or your team but I am.”
New tears begin to gently run down her already tearstained face at his words. In all her life no one had ever told her how important she was or how much her kindness and gentleness meant to them. And now this shinobi who was to be her husband in a few years was telling her just that. “You’re wrong again Raven-kun,” she tells him as she looks up at his uncovered face with a warm smile. “You do have the right to ask, both as my future husband and as my friend.”
Raven will never know what compelled him to do what he did, but in that moment her felt his head leaning down towards hers before their lips touched. In all his life he had never felt anything more perfect or more right then the brief touch of her lips against his. Though it lasted for only an instant the memory of their first kiss would remain with him for the rest of his life.
Hinata’s sudden tiny yelp at his action cause Raven to return to his senses as he quickly pulls away from her, blushing just as brightly has she was. “Ah… Sorry about that,” he says as he sheepishly scratches the back of his right ear. “I guess I got caught up in the moment.”
“It’s-it’s okay,” she tells him while looking down at the ground, unable to meet his eyes again. “It-it was -it was nice.” she smiles as her blushing only increases. ’Kami was that NICE.’
“We should probably head back now.” He tells her as he turns to collect the groups’ belongings. “If I know my cousins, we’ve got maybe five more minutes before they come looking for us.”
“Your cousins?” Hinata asks. “I know you are related to them since you’re from the same clan, but how closely are you related?”
“Same as you and Neji,” he tells her. “Our mother’s were sisters,” he adds picking up the cloaks. “My mother passed away when I was five so I don’t really remember her.” He’s grateful that she allows the mater to drop there as they prepare to leave. Hinata holds onto his left arm as he performs the seals needed to take them home.
==============================
A/N: The exceptionally long original chapter is now complete, I hope you enjoyed it. I felt like Raven and Hinata deserved a touching moment after everything I’d put them through, after this story is about them. More WAFF moments will pop up regularly through out the course of this fic. But don’t worry; there will also be plenty of action, after all this is the world of Naruto.
