A/N: Hello everyone! Oh god, so I would've had this chapter out to you guys way sooner, but I came down with insomnia. I could not sleep for more than 2 hours per night. This lead to me having constant headaches, becoming easily frustrated, and almost depressed. I was in no mood to type, so I didn't. But, for the past few days I've managed to get a good night's rest. So I spent most of my time awake typing!
But be warned, I'm still exhausted as hell. So there might be a few more errors than usual. There also might be parts of the chapter that confuses you. So if this leaves you with any questions, it would be best to PM me. And if you see any large errors, please tell me.
Enough of my half awake babbling, on to the chapter!
Naruto was absolutely thrilled, he couldn't help but to kiss her. He was just couldn't believe what he was hearing! This extremely cute and sexy girl had to be a mere figment of his imagination! She was just too perfect to be true. She was just way too perfect, he couldn't believe what a lucky guy he was. But he had a foreboding feeling that things wouldn't stay this perfect for very long.
He really hoped that he was just being paranoid.
The two of them finally pulled away from each other. Hinata buried her head into Naruto's neck and smiled softly. Naruto leaned back against the couch and wrapped his arms around her. He closed his eyes as him and Hinata sat there peacefully. Hinata would sometimes place a soft kiss on his neck which he enjoyed very much. The young man was trying to grasp just how incredible the girl sitting on top of him was. He pondered what else the two of them had in common.
"Naruto?"
"Yeah?"
"Has that female ever hit you before?"
Naruto ran his hand through her hair, enjoying the softness of her indigo locks.
"You mean Sakura? Well yeah, she's hit me before. I remember when we were younger she would do it all the time!" Naruto couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled the antics of Team Seven.
Hinata gasped and pulled her head out of his neck. When she looked up at him, her eyes were wide and close to tearing. Pure shock and horror was written all over her face.
"Why? What were you doing that would make her harm you? As a matter of fact, why would allow her to lay her hands on you?" Hinata just didn't understand why anyone would want to hurt her mate! It baffled her.
"Well, I mean I would always…." Ask her out on a date.
Naruto decided not to speak the next part of his sentence out loud. He didn't know how she would react to the fact that he had feelings for someone else before the two of them met. Hell, he was still into Sakura they very day he ran into Hinata! How would he explain that to her? The dream he had that night was still vivid inside his mind. He knew she was possessive of him; she had made that much clear. But he honestly doubted she would react to his crush on Sakura by…ehem…"servicing" him. He figured she would either become extremely depressed, or become so enraged that she attacked Sakura.
He certainly didn't want either of those things to happen.
"…bother her. I would annoy her a lot and she would react by hitting me. It's no big deal; really I have a hard head, so it didn't really hurt me." He chuckled nervously. He wasn't being completely truthful with her. It hurt like hell whenever she hit him. But he didn't want Hinata to know that. She might decide to take action by violently attacking Sakura in retaliation.
Hinata's eyes narrowed for a split second and her left ear flicked. Those moments occurred so fast that Naruto didn't catch them. Hinata wouldn't ever call her mate a liar, but she could easily tell that he was sugar coating the details. His slight pause, nervous laughter, and she could hear the slight change in the tone of his voice and her heart beat increased. Those were very clear and obvious signs that he was lying.
She was hurt; she wasn't sure why he felt the need to lie to her. She tried t push down the sense of betrayal inside of her. Maybe he just didn't trust her enough yet. She knew that ninjas weren't very trusting of outsiders. She had only known him for a day, and he wasn't used to her customs. It would make sense if he were weary of her and didn't want to tell her about every aspect of his life.
But she vowed that she would get him to trust her! Until then, she would have to respect his decision to keep certain information away from her. But she refused to be lied to.
"Naruto, listen, "she cupped his cheek with her clawed and very deadly hand, "you don't have to tell me certain things if it makes you uncomfortable. I understand that as a ninja, you probably aren't a very trusting person, I get that. But please, please don't lie to me. I find it to be very disrespectful." Her claws gently scratched his cheek as she said this. It wasn't enough to hurt him, but it was enough to assure him that it would be hell if she ever dug them into his skin.
A small chill went down his spine. He could sense a slight threat in her words and actions. It was odd because she's already clarified for him that she would never lay her hands on him. She was more likely to harm herself than him. But the hidden threat was still there, it was extremely strange.
He swallowed hard. "Sorry, I didn't mean-"
"Hush." She placed a finger over his lips. "It's okay. Just don't do it again, alright?" She smiled as he nodded his head.
"Good! I can most certainly wait until you trust me enough to share all of your secrets with me! So don't you worry about having secrets! I do have some of my own you know." She winked at him.
Naruto grinned as relief swept through him. But he didn't really known when he would tell her about his crush on Sakura. Maybe in after he knew for a fact she wouldn't go ballistic and brutally attack his teammate. Not only that, but there were also the other secrets he would need to inform her of. His heart swelled with some guilt. She should have the right to know that she was "mated" to the container of the nine tailed fox. How would she react to that?
He mentally vowed that he would inform her of this soon. If she truly would stay with him for the rest of their lives, she would need to know about the type of scorn she would have to endure by mere association of him. But then again, he figured she wouldn't really mind about how the villagers treated her. But when she found out about how lonely and awful his childhood was…..
Naruto winced. The thought of Hinata being hurt or harmed in anyway made him feel awful. But the thought of the hell she would unleash upon the villagers as retribution. She was the princess of her kind; he wouldn't be surprise if she managed to convince her father to declare war on them.
Well alright, that probably wouldn't happen.
Naruto decided to save those thoughts for later. They left him feeling heavy hearted.
Except for the war part. He wondered if she held that type of authority.
Hinata removed her finger from his lips and gave him a quick peck. She then sighed and once more placed her head in his neck.
Naruto chuckled. "Boy, you really love smelling me."
"Of course I do! You smell so incredible! I love it. Your scent is just the most incredible thing to me. Right next to your amazing personality and fantastic looks." She purred out.
Naruto smirked. This girl was doing wonders to his ego!
"Really now?"
Hinata nodded her head." Yeah! You even taste delicious! I could spend the rest of my life licking every single inch of your delectable body."
Naruto felt a different type of warmth flood his body. Shit, why was she so sexy? He didn't think she was even trying to be seductive! He really needed to remove his head from the gutter if he wanted to get to know her better. Having an emotional bond with her would be the only way he could sleep with her.
He quickly changed the topic of discussion. "So um, tell me Hinata. What type of secrets do you have that you can't tell little old me?"
Hinata giggled. She could tell that he was joking, and didn't really expect an answer. She also knew that he was trying to change the subject without being too obvious. She wouldn't say she was toying with her mate; she was just having fun with him. She knew exactly what type of effect her words had on him. She really, really, really, wanted to get a rise out of him. Plus, seeing him flustered with that cute little blush on his cheeks was the most precious thing ever! And she was going to mess with her cute mate a little bit more….
She wrapped her arms around his neck and played with his blonde strands. She flattened her ears against her head and widened her eyes. She knew this gave her a more innocent appearance.
"Well, I can't tell you them all. But there is one secret I guess I could tell you about. There's something that I've always wanted to do." She kept her voice as childlike as possible to throw him off.
Naruto raised his eyebrow. He was surprised that she would actually be willing to tell him one of her secrets so soon. Maybe it came with them being "mated" with each other. She might feel more compelled to tell him her secrets. It made him feel guilty. He wanted her to tell him secrets because she wanted him to, not because she felt like she had to.
"You know, you don't have to tell me anything."
Hinata smiled. "No, it's alright, I want to tell you."
She leaned in close and placed her lips right next to his ear. She made sure to gently move her body against his.
"Well," her voice changed to a very sultry purr she knew would drive him wild. "I've always planned to participate in a certain activity with my mate once I found him. It involves a lot of hard work. And it'll leave the both of us hot and sweaty."
Naruto's cheeks turned bright red. His member was hardening in his pants. The fact that those words were coming out of her mouth was so…so...Hot. He could also feel the heat from her core grinding on top of his crotch. Naruto wouldn't want to be in any other position in the world. It would only be better if they were in a hot tub filled with ramen noodles.
"Oh r-really?" He cursed himself for his stutter. But he couldn't help it. It was like there was a fog in his mind causing him to lose focus. All he could think about was her and the pleasant sensation running through his body because of her.
"Yeah. It also involves a lot of touching. So what do you say? Do you want to do this with me one day?" She made sure to nibble on his ear and press her body as close as possible to his. To be honest, this was turning her on quite a bit too. But she tried to hide it.
"S-sure." He couldn't think straight at all. The only thing on his mind was her naked body underneath his as his hands roamed her skin. They didn't have to have sex. Maybe he could repay her for the little gift she gave him this morning.
She chuckled. "Are you sure? I haven't even told you the name of the activity."
Naruto swallowed thickly. "Then tell me."
"Alright." She made sure that her lips brushed his ear every time she spoke.
"Would you be willing to one day," Her voice was sultry and filled with need. "Play tag with me? It'll be super fun!"
And then her voice changed back into the same child like and peppy voice she usually had,
Naruto's eye nearly rolled into the back of his head. "Oh fuck yes!"
Then her actual words struck him.
"Wait. . . What?" He was extremely confused. Instead of her suggesting that he spends hours upon hours ravishing her body. He even expected her to ask him to allow her to ravish his body! But instead she wanted him to play tag? That game that only children ever really play? He furrowed his eyebrows together. That didn't make any sense at all.
His confusion ended when Hinata burst into a fit of giggles.
"Ha ha! Your face! Hahahahahaha!" She covered her mouth in a poor attempt to stop her laughing. She laughed so hard that she actually fell out of his lap and onto the carpeted floor. She lied on her back as she continued to snicker. Her mate's stupefied expression brought joy into her heart. She couldn't wait to start playing some more extreme pranks on him!
Naruto still couldn't comprehend what exactly happened. She had been messing with him. She had pranked him that had never happened before. He was always the one pulling the pranks. He grinned; it was definitely a nice change of pace.
"Oh, you think you're funny do you? Well here I come to take my revenge!" He descended upon the girl and dug into her side in a wrath of tickles.
Hinata shrieked in even more laughter. "NO! HAHAHA! NO PLEASE NO! HAHA! I HATE-HAHAHA BEING TICKLED!"
The blonde shinobi was on his knees on top of his companion. Hinata was squealing and squirming underneath him. She desperately wanted to escape from this odd form of torture. Or at least that's what it felt like to her.
"Then apologize! Say you're sorry for being mean to little ole me." Naruto demanded. There was a large grin on his face. Her laugh was beautiful. Plus this was the first time he could recall ever tickling someone. It was nice, new experience for him.
"HAHA! ALRIGHT! I'M SO SORRY! I SWEAR! HAHAHA!" There were tears sliding down her flushed cheeks.
"Well. . . . Alright, I'll accept that for now. I hope you've learned your lesson." He ceased his vicious attack on her. But he didn't move from his position on top of her. He enjoyed the view a little too much for him to just move.
Her eyes were closed and she lied still beneath him as she tried to catch her breath. He noted briefly that her ears were turning in every direction possible at a fast past. It was like they were working overtime because her eyes were closed. That was certainly interesting. Her cheeks were flushed with a blush that spread down to her stomach. She was as red as an apple. A small smile was on her which was slightly open so she could inhale air. Her large chest rose and fell with each breath she took.
"I will get you back for that." She told once she had calmed down some. Her eyes opened and her ears stopped moving around as much.
He chuckled before standing up. He offered her his hand. "We'll just have to see about that. I am the pranking king after all."
Hinata placed her hand into his and allowed him to help pull her up. She wrapped her arms around his midsection and buried her head into his chest. "Well, it's a good thing that every king needs a queen."
She was surprised when he leaned down and placed a kiss on the top of her head. "You're right about that sweetheart."
Hinata blushed at the endearment. She was absolutely ecstatic that her mate considered her to be sweet! And since sugar is sweet, that means that he must think of her like sugar! Since most people like to eat stuff with sugar, that must mean that he wants to eat her! Her sex life was going to be absolutely incredible!
She pulled away from him. "Hey, you know what we should do?"
"What? Will it be another activity that will require touching, and leave us both hot and sweat?"
The hybrid giggled and shook her head. "No, not really you big silly! We need to go outside and explore!"
"Explore? What do you want to explore?" Naruto wasn't too sure that Granny would allow them to just leave the village to explore other places.
"This village! We need to explore it! This is my first time here, and I want to take a look around. I want to go through the places that you humans buy your items! And I also want to venture into your woods! I heard that all of your animals are super tiny compared to ours! I want to see if that applies here. So please can we? Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!" By the end of her sentence she was jumping up and down in anticipation.
"Alright, calm down. We can go. But we need to cover your ears or else it'll freak people out. I'm pretty sure that Shizune and Sakura brought some sort of hat so you can cover your ears. "
"Yay!" She pounced and wrapped her arms and legs around him. He was nearly knocked off of his feet. "Thanks so much! Now we need to find that hat!"
In a split second she was off of him and rummaging through the bags and bags of clothes.
Or, at least that's what Naruto assumed she was doing. He couldn't see her at all. He was very impressed with her speed. One second a bag would be sitting on the floor and the very next the contents would be strewn all over the carpet. His eyes couldn't keep up. He wondered how she had become so fast. He knew most ninjas couldn't travel at speeds this high.
"Found some! There are five of them and they're all in the same exact bag! How clever of them to do that! Meow!" Hinata was at the right side of the couch with a pile of hats in front of her and an upside down bag in her hands.
He blinked and she suddenly had one of the hats on top of her head. It was a light purple sun hat. It was simple, yet elegant.
"How do I look?" She asked him. Naruto figured she would ask him that question every time she donned a new outfit.
"You look very nice. But we still need to do something about your tail. Maybe if you had on a sweater or something. I'm sure that there's at least on." He took a look at the small piles of clothes scattered on the floor and spotted a light blue sweater. They way it was stitched made it looked like it was handmade by somebody's grandmother mother.
"Here, you can wrap this around your waist so no one can see your tail." He tossed it to her. She caught it and stared at it.
"Um….Tie it around my waist…Uh…..How exactly do I do that?" She asked him bashfully. She wasn't used to any of these clothes. She was certain she had never been in contact with cloth like this one. It was really furry and it had long sleeves. She recalled seeing these types of clothes whenever it was cold. That's generally when humans would wear them. She felt pity for them, it must be challenging for them not have pelts that they can shed and grow at will.
Her mate came towards her and took the sweater from her. "Here, I'll show how to do it. You just take the sleeves and wrap them around your waist. Then you tie them together like so."
He double knotted the sleeves without making it too tight. "There, that should do for now. It would be better if I could use a Genjutsu, but unfortunately I'm not well versed with those. Sorry."
"You don't have to apologize for anything! This does mean that we can leave your home right? We get to explore this village! Let's go!" She grabbed his hand and dragged him to the door.
He chuckled at her enthusiasm. He allowed her to take him to the door. She tried to open it, but she was struggling since it was still locked.
"What? What is this? Why won't you open!?" She grasped the knob and twisted and tugged.
"Hinata, you have to-"He tried to explain what was wrong when Hinata gave a hard tug. She pulled the door knob right out of the door.
She growled and narrowed her eyes at the metal in her hand. It had indents of her finger on it. She chucked it behind her. It hit one of the walls and went right through it. She turned her attention to the door and hissed at it.
"Damn you, you accursed slab of wood! I'll show you not to open for me!" She lifted her floor and kicked the door. It flew off the hinges crashed into the wall of the hallway. It remained buried there.
"Uh…." Naruto sweatdropped. She was certainly a strong girl. It probably came from living her whole life in the wild. He didn't want to ever make her mad. Her strength might be able to rival Sakura's.
"Yay! Hurry mate, that evil door is now gone! We can continue on our journey!" Hinata's anger was completely gone. She continued to drag Naruto out of the open doorway and into the hallway.
"Yeah…Sure." He summoned some clones inside of his apartment to clean the mess she created. He made a mental note to teach her how locks worked. He didn't want a repeat of this incident.
Hinata's ears picked up the few pops the clones made when they appeared. "Huh? Mate, did you hear that?"
"Yeah, don't worry about it. I'm just making sure the mess in there is cleaned up." He explained to her.
"Oh, right. I'm sorry about that. I sometimes get too emotional."She apologized.
"It's fine. Don't worry about it. I'm a slob anyway. So I would've messed my apartment up myself at some point. "He assured her.
She hugged his arm as they walked down the stairs. "Thank you my mate! You are just so kind!"
"Um, about that. We need to make sure that no one really knows what you are. One way to do that would be by making sure you sound at least a little normal. So try and call me by my name, alright?" He instructed her.
"Your name? You mean…Na….Na..Naruto? That's your name right? Naruto?" The name felt weird on her lips. But if it's what her mate wanted her to do then she would oblige.
"Yeah, good job. And if anyone asks, I'm your boyfriend and you're my girlfriend. We ran into each other during my training trip and fell for each other while I was staying in your village. We had to separate because your father didn't approve, so you ran away and we met up again. Do you think you could remember that?" He opened the door this time and the two of them headed outside, and into the crowded village.
Hinata blushed. How was she supposed to remember any of those things? She didn't even know that he went on a training trip! "Well, no, I can't. But l will just let you explain things to other people if they ask."
The blonde sighed. "That's fine for now. We can work on our story later. For now, let me show you around this place! That's Toshiro's grocery store, and across from it is Hana's grocery story. Both of them are in a fierce competition. It's been like this ever since the two of the divorced. Then there's..."
Hinata tried to absorb every single word that came out of her mate's mouth. But she was distracted by something. There was constant whispering among the people. Wherever they went, people paid close attention. Hinata would understand it if they were just questioning who she was. She was a complete and total stranger who just appeared virtually out of nowhere. But that's not all she was hearing.
"Who the hell is that with the demon?"
"That poor girl, that monster must be forcing her to be with him."
"That bastard, he probably hurt that poor girl! I wouldn't be surprised if he raped her!"
"Look, that little demon found himself a slut. It's a shame the parents can't properly control their children."
All of the whispers ran along those lines. They were either cursing her mate, pitying her, or they were about how horrible both of them were. Some of the humans didn't bother even bother whispering. Actually, the only ones who bothered to try and whisper quietly were the ones about her. She guessed it was because she was an unknown factor. They didn't know what she was capable of, at least not at the moment. It might've also been because she was shooting glares back at those who were shooting daggers at her mate.
Speaking of her lover, it was like he didn't notice it at all! He was still talking, and pointing out different buildings. She knew he could hear them. His body had tensed up after the few humans started whispering about them. But he wasn't doing anything about it. He wasn't trying to defend himself in any way. She would give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he couldn't hear those speaking negatively about her. But right now, she was very concerned.
What was going on? Why was he allowing them to speak this way about him? As a matter of fact, why were they saying these malicious things about him? What had her mate done to deserve such horrible treatment? There was only one way to find out.
"This is one the libra-"
"Ma- I mean, Naruto, can we go into the woods? I feel more at home whenever I'm in a wooded area surrounded by animals." She asked sweetly. She was secretly boiling in some rage on the inside. But she wouldn't do anything until she understood the situation better.
"Of course! Can finish giving you the tour of the village later." He body flickered both of them to the middle of the woods. They were next to a log, which would be perfect for them to sit on. It was near an old training ground that he would train in privately. He was relieved to be away from the villagers. Their animosity towards him hadn't disappeared, unfortunately. He figured that she noticed how bad he was being treated. He tried to come up with an answer to give her about why they treated him so poorly.
"Here we are! I hope you like it! It's probably not as large as the one you're used to, but it's pretty decent. Plus, there are even larger forests. Like the Forest of Death. We can go there if you want. I'm positive the animals in there would give you more of a challenge than the ones in here. But it's a restricted area, so we might run into some trouble if we try to hea-"His rambling was cut short by Hinata. She placed her finger over his lips.
"Mate, hush. There's something that we have to discuss." No one was around, so Hinata figured she didn't have to call him by his name at the moment.
"Like what?" He asked when she removed her finger from his mouth.
"Don't pretend like you don't know. The way those other humans treated you was awful! Why do they treat you like that? And how come you didn't say anything to defend yourself?" Hinata was desperate to know these answers.
Naruto pulled away from her and rubbed the back of his neck. He did what felt natural and plastered on a fake smile.
"Hehe, so you noticed that. Well, it's not really that big of a deal, honest. I've gotten used to it so-"
"Not much of a big deal! That's ridiculous! I'm pretty sure you're under reacting!" She exclaimed angrily.
"Hinata, it's no big deal because I've gotten used to it. It doesn't bother me anymore. So just forget it, alright?" Naruto just wanted to drop the issue. He's been treated like for so long that it didn't faze him anymore. For the most part.
Hinata hissed, and Naruto found it to be pretty frightening.
"Used to it? Not such a big deal? Drop it? I don't think you understand at all! You really don't get IT AT ALL!" She spat the last few words out.
Her hands were fists at her sides. Her sharp claws were digging into the palms of her hands. Drops of liquid fell onto the forest floor. Hinata took a few breaths in order to calm herself down. Becoming enraged and screaming at her mate wasn't going to solve this problem.
She inhaled deeply before exhaling slowly. She gingerly sat down on the log, and instructed that her mate do the same. She made sure to make eye contact with him before beginning her little speech for him.
"Look, mate, Naruto, you and I aren't the same species. That means that we have different views on certain matter, I understand that. So here, I'll try and explain this to you. Where I come from, respect is a pretty big deal. The children respect their elders, family members are treated with the utmost respect, and the designated leaders is shown respect. Respect is given to teachers, and to those who have already mated. It's very obvious that we must respect our mate, but the most important thing is respecting yourself. That means that you cannot allow anyone to disrespect you. Someone insulting you, or trying to hurt you shouldn't be tolerated at all. Allowing someone to disrespect you is a sign that you are weak. The weak never last long in the wild. That's why it's such a big deal Naruto. When I saw you taking their insults without saying anything back, it screamed to me that you are a…." She didn't want to directly call her mate a weakling. It was one of the most extreme insults she could say. Those who were weak generally die in the wild. Calling someone weak was similar to telling them that hey were going to die.
And that was extremely taboo.
"Look, what I'm trying to say is that it's like this. We're supposed to respect everyone that is our species. So let's say that someone insults me. It would be like they're saying that I am less then they are, I am less then our kind. If I do nothing to refute that claim, then I am agreeing with them. I am also saying that I am a weakling who is undeserving of calling myself the same species. It's also a matter of principle. If I can't defend myself from an insult, then how would I be able to defend my family? That's what it boils down to…For the most part. Does that make sense? I'm no good at explaining this stuff."
She really hoped he could understand and relate to what she was saying. For the most part, this was the way she was raised. Her father was an extremely proud male, who never took any disrespect from anyone. So he raised her siblings and her to be the same way. He would probably do a better job at explaining this mindset.
"Um, I guess I sort of understand." He told her. He understood that allowing others to disrespect him could be interoperated as him being weak. And since she's more animal than human, he knew that weakness would be a large taboo.
He placed his hand on top of her knee and grinned at her. "But listen, it'll be fine. Ever since I was a child, I've wanted to become Hokage. I know that it'll take a lot of work, but I know that I can do it! And I know that once I do become Hokage, the villagers will respect me!" 'I hope.'
His eyes shone bright with determination. "So just be a little patient with them, alright? I can't tell you why they hate me just yet, but it's not their fault.
"Uh…." Hinata was dumbfounded. There were so many things wrong with his statement that she had a difficult time believing that he actually said it. It seems like her and her mate had been raised very differently, and with very different morals. She just wasn't sure that he was right. Maybe they would grow out of their hatred of him, and maybe they wouldn't. She still didn't understand why they hated him, and she knew she didn't understand how humans worked. She didn't know what the proper and improper way of dealing with disrespect was. Back home, is someone insulted her it would be fully justified for her to shove that person's face into the dirt until they submitted. Maybe that wasn't allowed here.
But what she did know was that now wasn't the right time to have this discussion. She could tell that this was making her mate uncomfortable. She deduced from his fake smile that he was used to completely masking his pain. Having someone confront him directly about this problem was most likely completely foreign to him. It was probably even more uncomfortable since they'd only known each other for a short period of time. She may have been pissed, and she may want answers right here, and right now, but her mate's happiness was her first priority. And at the moment, she was making him unhappy. She needed to fix that.
On top of that, she could easily hear other people. The closest ones were nearly a kilometer away, which to her was pretty damn close. This was an open, public area and he was probably feeling very exposed. This issue was private, and he's been dealing with it for a long period of time, that much was obvious. It hit him harder than his current problem with his murderous bastard of a "brother", and she used to term lightly. The hatred he's receiving from the villagers must have had a huge impact on his personality, and his goals. This mindset wasn't something she would be able to snap him out of at the moment, especially when she couldn't do that when they talked about his "brother".
And maybe she shouldn't. Maybe this mindset would help him reach his dreams, and make him better loved among the other humans. She wasn't a human, and she sure as hell wasn't raised like one. This was just all so new and strange for her.
So she resigned to wait. She would wait until the two of them got to know each other better. She would wait until he told her why the villagers hated him. She would wait until he told her why he really wanted their respect. She would wait until she learned more about his past, and all the sorrows he had ever felt. She would wait until she was accustomed to the mindset, and the social rules of the humans. Then, and only then would she allow herself to talk to him about this.
But there were still a few things she wanted to tell him at the moment.
"Mate, for now, I will drop the subject. I know that it isn't something you wish to discuss with me at the moment." Naruto's shoulders sagged with relief.
"But," she cupped his cheek. "There are some things you need to know. First of all, a title is only a title. It holds only so much power. Understand that the Hokage isn't respected and loved simply because they hold that title. It's most likely because they were already well respected and loved for doing incredible acts for the village. I know enough about humans to come to that conclusion. Second of all, while you may be able to handle how the villagers treat you, I cannot. If one of them insults you to your face, or tries to cause you any physical harm, they will be answering to me. The best that I can do is ignore the whispering that happens behind our backs. But that is as far as my patience extends."
"But Hinata-"He wanted to tell her that that would be a bad idea. She could get into trouble with the member on the council for beating the ever living hell out of some of the civilians.
"No buts! I've already told you about how my kind views disrespect, so I will act accordingly. Not doing so would be shaming my family, so screw the consequences! Besides, "she grinned slyly, "are you forgetting about how fast I can move? I knew that I have the ability to move faster than your human eyes can perceive. I can't exactly get into trouble for hitting someone if they don't see me do it, right?"
Naruto chuckled. He had to admit, that was pretty clever. He could already envision the confusion on the face of a civilian. One minute they're insulting him, and the very next they're on the ground before they would be able to blink! She would even get away with it in a crowd full of people!
"Alright, that's fine. I wouldn't want you to shame your family. And thanks for understanding. I promise to try and defend myself a little more, but in a non violent way." He told her, a small smile present on his face. Since he would have to meet her father, he felt it best to prepare a little by standing his ground more. He wasn't exactly sure how to go about doing that, but maybe Hinata could help him. To be quite honest, he felt like her father would have the ability to sniff out how well respected he was.
So yeah, he would have to ask Hinata for some advice. Some nonviolent advice.
Hinata squealed and leaped at him. She knocked both of them off of the log and on to the forest floor. She lay completely on top of him, with her arms around his waist.
"That's wonderful! You'll also be sure to remember what I said about titles though, right?" She asked him.
"Yeah." That would certainly give him plenty to think about. He's never really thought about it from that perspective before. He already had a few doubts about becoming Hokage, and this was fueling those thoughts. But it was his dream, something he's wanted ever since he was a child; he couldn't just drop it, or let it go. If he didn't become Hokage, then what else would he do?
"Good! Now come on!" She was off of him in a split second and on her feet. She offered him a hand up. "I heard a stream nearby! Maybe you and I can swim in it! Or catch some little fishes!"
Naruto marveled at how fast her moods could change. He had yet to find out if that was a good thing a bad thing. But for now, he would allow her positive and upbeat attitude to sink into him.
"Sure." He placed his hand into hers, and immediately he was pulled to his feet. Hell, she nearly pulled his arm right out of his socket! She had one hell of a grip that was for sure. He wondered why she allowed him to tickle her earlier. She could've easily escaped him. He rubbed his poor shoulder.
"Oops! I am so sorry! Did I hurt you? I know that sometimes I have trouble controlling my strength, and I forget how fragile you humans can be! Oh my poor little mate! Could you forgive me?" Hinata rambled, nearly in hysterics.
"It's fine. I'll just have to teach you to control some of your strengths. I mean geez, if you're already this strong, I would hate to have to fight your dad!" He joked.
Hinata chuckled nervously. "Haha…Yeah, about that, when I said he would tear you to shreds, I wasn't really-"She paused and stood up straight. Her eyes gained a blank stare, and her head snapped to the left.
"Hinata? Wants' wron- oof!" He was interrupted when she suddenly tackled him, hard.
They both fell to the ground, Naruto's head smashing to the forest floor. He groaned in pain. He was surprised when something flew over them and crashed into a nearby by tree. It nearly cracked in half from the collision. Had the two of them remained standing, the object would've crashed into them.
He was immediately on guard when the strange object spoke in a confused voice. "Hmm, I guess Ugly didn't like my honest opinion…."
Naruto closed his eyes. He wanted to smash his head into the forest floor beneath him.
Why?
Because the person speaking, was none other than Sai, one of the members of Team 8.
He could hear other, angry voices yelling in the distance. One of those voices belonged to Sakura.
It was time for some hell to break loose.
