(At The Hyuuga Compound)
Hinata was back in her room. Her father had concluded the meeting and permitted everyone to leave. Neji's teammates and sensei also left with much to think about. Neji locked himself in his room, not wanting to talk to anyone. He still couldn't wrap his head around everything he heard from Hiashi's own mouth. The clan elders themselves were bewildered by what they learned, and seeing that Hanabi was deeply attached to Naruto along with Hinata bothered them. They couldn't understand why or how they missed that development. They always looked at Hinata as a failure and sought to have her replaced as an heiress with Hanabi, who appeared to be the type of heiress they were looking for. But now it was revealed that both Hinata and Hanabi had like minds, and that Hanabi somewhere down the line started following her older sister's footsteps and becoming like her. Clearly, they didn't know Hanabi as well as they thought.
Speaking of Hanabi, she made her way over to Hinata's room and stood outside the room at the door. There was something she wanted to talk to Hinata about concerning a matter that bothered her. Without bothering to knock on the door, Hanabi walked in and…
"Neesan, I-"
Hanabi stopped when she saw Hinata making out with Naruto passionately with their arms wrapped around each other. He had his jacket and sandals removed leaving him in his pants and black T-shirt as he held Hinata very close to his body. Just as he moved his head to nuzzle her neck with his lips, both Naruto and Hinata stopped when they saw a surprised and speechless blushing Hanabi staring back at them.
"OK…this was unexpected," Naruto remarked, now holding a blushing Hinata in his arms.
"Hanabi, w-what were you…," Hinata tried to ask.
"Ah…Uh...S-Sorry for interrupting!" an embarrassed Hanabi exclaimed before closing the door quickly with that image and what she saw was now burned into her memories.
"Yep, she just might be scarred for life," Naruto joked.
"What was she doing barging into my room without knocking?" Hinata asked as Naruto released his hold on her, much to her disappointment.
"Wanting to talk to you, I'm sure. She just wasn't expecting to find us in the position we were in as I gave you my "Thank you" for that new gift you got for me from the blacksmith store," Naruto figured.
"I'll talk to her after you leave. But you never told me what happened at Kiba's," Hinata said.
"It's a long story, and I'm you have one of your own about that meeting your father conducted after you spent the earlier part of your day with Temari," Naruto pointed out.
"The daughter of the Kazekage. In case you're not aware of it, Temari clearly has a huge crush on you despite knowing I'm your girlfriend," Hinata told him.
"If it's a crush, then I'm sure she'll eventually move on, my Moon's Eye Spring Rabbit," Naruto assured.
"Some of the things she said, though they were subtle, gave me the impression that she sees me as either an obstacle or a rival. While it's not exactly like how Sasuke is trying to steal me from you, Temari showed that her interest in you is there. And she openly stated that she has no interest in your teammates and not once did she mention that she met them at the same time she met you."
"If I was Temari, I wouldn't have interest in them either," Naruto remarked, "But seriously, you have nothing to worry about considering that Temari will have to return back to Sunagakure along with the other Suna ninja once the Chuunin Exams are over. So there's no way she could have time to actually try to pose as a potential rival against you. Besides I already sent Sasuke to the hospital for what he did yesterday."
"He doesn't give up and has that determined spirit, something you both seem to have in common," Hinata giggled.
"I don't know whether I should be insulted or saddened after hearing that remark from you," Naruto said with a deadpan expression.
"Well, it's because of your flirting and complimenting that Temari that she now has a romantic interest in you," Hinata said with some annoyance and a hint of jealousy in her tone.
"Hmm, having the daughter of a foreign Kage getting charmed by me is actually kind of flattering. It means I still know how to talk to beautiful girls like you, my Moon's Eye Spring Rabbit. Besides you know I can't help it, after all I'm making my own book and I need as many promising female characters as I can get and Temari was definitely worthy of being documented for a future character. You know there's still an opening for you if you'd like as the lead female protagonist," Naruto offered, which earned him a cute glare from Hinata.
"Naruto-kun, you know I have no interest in being in those books," Hinata said a little darkly.
Seeing this Naruto raised his hands in mock surrender. "Okay, sorry, sorry, I just thought that as my favorite girl of all time you would love to let me spread my admiration of you across the world, but I suppose when we get married one day we could do that anyway," Naruto said gently as Hinata blushed at the mention of marriage.
"Being with you is all I ever want," Hinata said happily as Naruto wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Me too. I don't know when we'll be together through marriage but when the day comes, I will have you by my side forever," Naruto said softly as he ran his hand over Hinata's face.
"Speaking of not knowing something, what I would like to know is what did you promise Hanabi that you didn't even offer to me?" Hinata asked. Naruto looked at Hinata and said, "Say what?"
"She told me point blank that you promised her a special training that she said that you didn't even offer to me as your girlfriend. So I would like to know what kind of new training she's talking about," Hinata explained. Naruto saw the look on Hinata's face and when he realized what it was, he started crackling until he burst out laughing as he released his arms from around her waist.
"This isn't funny Naruto-kun! What did you promise her that you didn't offer to me first?" Hinata asked again.
"I can't believe my Little Nighttime Firecracker was able to get you to react like this after pulling your leg, so to speak!" Naruto laughed. "But tell me, my Moon's Eye Spring Rabbit, how much did you tell Hanabi-chan about your new skills through my training?"
Hinata was about to reply when she saw that she couldn't give Naruto a straight answer.
"Exactly. Hanabi-chan wants to keep you in suspense and in the dark just as much as you keep her in suspense and in the dark about things. And I'm the only one that knows both stories of training and yet won't share either one with the other," Naruto elaborated.
"That's not fair!" Hinata pouted.
"No but I did tell both you and Hanabi-chan that we don't always reveal everything about ourselves to everyone. It kills the element of surprise if everything about us was known to everyone," Naruto elaborated.
Hinata snorted, "I can play that game with you too, Naruto-kun. Just you watch."
"Watch? I don't intend to simply watch when I'm the key player in this training game you and my Little Nighttime Firecracker seek to play," Naruto joked with a large smile pasted on his face. The next thing Naruto knew that a pillow being smacked across his face, knocking him to the floor.
"I'll show you some games to plays!" Hinata remarked as she stood over him and continued assaulting the laughing Naruto with her pillow as he tried blocking her attacks. After a couple of seconds, Naruto crossed and locked his legs over hers and dropped her to the floor face down. Grabbing the pillow from her, he summoned three kage bunshin, each holding a pillow while standing over her with Naruto himself holding Hinata down by her legs. The clones started whacking Hinata with their pillows.
"You're using kage bunshin! That's cheating!" Hinata laughed as she tried to shield herself from the pillow assault.
"I'm just too much for you to take on alone, that's all!" Naruto laughed.
Meanwhile, outside the room, Hanabi held her hand over her mouth, trying to keep from laughing as she listened in on the conversation and watched their interactions from behind the door she partly opened when they didn't notice. Little did Hanabi know was that one of Naruto's kage bunshin was watching her from the shadows while using his transparency jutsu.
She still has a long way to go! But she'll definitely make a terrific spy mistress, the kage bunshin thought with a toothy grin while keeping an eye on Hanabi.
