Chapter 3

Hinata has a key to his apartment. He gave her one, so it will be easy for her to come and hide away with him. She decided to cook him dinner, that's why she even went to grocery for him. She just knows how empty his cupboards are, except for instant ramen. She will cook him vegetables and curry for something healthier than he is very much fond of. And of course, some homemade ramen, because even if she believes that it is not healthy for him, she just cannot refuse what he wants. She just knows that it will bring forth her favourite smile of his, so why should she deprive him—and her—that.

Hinata was in the kitchen chopping the ingredients for the ramen and stirring the pot of curry when she heard Naruto's home phone rang. She was startled and she almost dropped the knife on her foot, good thing she has great reflexes because of self-defence trainings required in their clan.

She does not know whether to answer his phone or just leave it ringing. But, after five more rings, she feels like she somehow needed to answer it. But, what am I going to say when the person on the other line asks who I am, she mused, and besides I am not even supposed to be here. She left it ringing until the eighth and she somehow managed to already finish cooking when the phone started ringing again. She can feel her shackles rising with the noise that she just wanted to plug off the telephone from the electric supply.

But her conscience kept telling her that she should pick up the phone because it might be something so important. Hinata slowly walked to the living area where the phone sat. She was about to answer the call when the door suddenly opened and a very drenched Naruto entered the apartment. She stared at him, not even noticing the lights already switched on, or even her presence in his own home.

Naruto looked so beat and his sports shirt clings to his muscled body because of sweat. He was currently removing his shoes while he tries to wipe his face off using his hand towel. He has earphones plugged in his ears that his head is even moving with the tune. Then, suddenly, he took off his shirt. His abdominal muscles showing. His biceps rippling. His chest heaving. His sweat dripping off his body from his neck downward, and lower where it was met with the waistband of his shorts that hung so low on his hips.

Hinata stood unmoving, not knowing what to say or do. She just drank him in. His whole presence. It has been ten agonizing days since the last time I saw him. I am so glad he is okay, even if he looks so tired. She mentally noted to give him a massage later after they have their dinner and talk. I hope we can now really talk. Although, I don't think I can really talk with him looking like that.

Both of them were pulled out of their trance when the phone started ringing once again. Hinata gasped surprise. Only then that Naruto realized that he is not alone in his home. He looked briefly at the phone before his blue eyes met her lavender depths. How her genes can manage such colour is beyond me. He felt lost and saved at the same time just from looking on her eyes.

Hinata saw how emotions flashed and passed through his blue depths: longing, wonder, and confusion. He might be wondering why I am here wearing his boxers and apron. But, then again, their moment was interrupted by the phone ringing. Hinata now decided to break the silence between them, "It has been ringing for eleventh time."

Naruto feeling like woken up from his stupor, headed towards the sofa, sat and grabbed the phone from its cradle. Before he can even speak, Hinata heard some shouting from the other end of the line. She saw how Naruto winced and kept the phone away from his ears.

She decided to go back to the kitchen to prepare the table for both of them. She can hear Naruto mumbling and talking to the person on the other end of the line. She was already finished setting up their meal when Naruto appeared on the doorframe separating the living room and the dining area. Hinata looked up from where she was sitting on her usual place, "Hi, Naruto-kun," she said timidly.

"Hinata, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked, bewildered, "Your father must now be looking for you," he reprimanded and added, "although, I really like you being here, especially with what you are now wearing." Hinata flushed when she saw Naruto smirked as he roams his eyes in his body. He slowly approached her and softly said, "you know Hinata, I really love how my clothes own you."

Hinata cannot think. She cannot speak. She cannot do anything. She sat unmoving, frozen to her place. Its been a long while. She felt Naruto's hands on her legs, moving lazily on her. She felt the electricity charging between them once again. I miss this. I miss him. Naruto slowly inched his face closer to hers. She can see his eyes falling on her lips. Just do it, Naruto-kun. But instead of expecting a kiss, he licked her whole lips that made her gasp.

Naruto grabbed the opportunity of her parting her lips and suddenly attacked her fully on the mouth. Hinata can taste the sweat on Naruto mixed with his very-own Naruto taste. She opened her mouth more and matched his passion. They kissed for seemed like an eternity, filling in the whole, filling in the gap that the past weeks gave them. Hinata moaned when she felt Naruto's right hand hiking up to her shorts as his left hand is feeling up her right breast. Naruto just knows how to really make her squirm under his touch. They kept kissing, Hinata pulling his golden locks.

She can now feel her lower body weakening. She wanted more. She needed more. More of him, just as much as he needed her. But when Hinata felt Naruto's fingers on her panty-covered-slit, she pushed him away, panting. "Naruto-kun, we must stop for now. We have to eat first." All rationality coming back, we need to talk before anything else.

Naruto still looked in a daze. He badly needs her. He needs her warmth, her body, her everything. Naruto was still aroused from the earlier incident, but he just have to really laugh it off now. Hinata was kind of bewildered by his actions, I thought he might be angry with me for stopping us, "Hinata," Naruto said in between laughs. He is now sitting by the floor, staring directly at her, "Yeah, let's eat because really I am starving with food," he said sarcastically.

Hinata just rolled her eyes and laughed with him before helping him to his feet. They started eating. Most of the times, Naruto was telling Hinata what happened during the past few days that he was not around. Since their team is about to have their last game on the Christmas Bowl as seniors, they were training harder than ever before. Besides, Sunagakure is not something to look down upon. They have the great Sabaku Brothers on their team. For years that they have been on the same filed, Konoha and Suna players have been great friends. Even one of their friends and teammate, Shikamaru, their official strategist, is dating the eldest sister of the Sabakus, Temari, which happened to also be strategist of the other team. Naruto kept the conversation going with Hinata laughing at his antics, and asking him questions whenever she deemed necessary.

When Hinata asked about the phone call earlier, however, the mood seems to change variably. "Was it an emergency Naruto-kun?" gone is the light atmosphere. It was replaced by cold and piercing heaviness.

Hinata heard Naruto sighed first, before he answered her, "Hinata, we need to talk."

Finally! She was happy that finally Naruto will talk to her about it, although Hinata felt her blood run cold with the possibilities, "Yes, we do," she affirmed directly looking in his eyes. This is it. The talk that will settle our future.

"That was my mom," Naruto started, "my family wants to meet you."

"Do you want me to meet them?" She asked, swallowing all her fears inside.

She saw the hesitation passed from his eyes. I see. Somehow, what she saw made her cringe inside. I really am not what he wanted. She can now feel the ache grows from her heart reaching some farther parts of her body making her numb. And she just felt the world shattered more when he said "do you?"

She was sitting motionless, her unfinished food sitting motionless, everything about her now is motionless, even her world. Does the problem lies with me? Did he not realize after three years of fucking together how much I love him even before all of this starts? "I do."

Hinata saw his eyes grew wide. "Okay," he said off-handily, "tomorrow you will meet them." He said before standing up, putting away his unfinished dishes.

Oh my goodness! What have I done? "Naruto-kun," Hinata called, "we need to talk. What will happen now? What will be of us?"

She heard Naruto laughing darkly from the kitchen before she heard him say, "Us? Hinata you know the rules. Our rules." Naruto sat back in front of her again, "Or do you want me to repeat it for you?" He snickered, "I fuck you, you fuck me, we fuck each other and that's all. Nothing will change, even if you put the damn ring on your finger. I can still date Shion, make her my mistress and you can do whatever the hell you want." He said darkly, anger laced in his voice, "Do you understand me now Hinata?"

Hinata closed her eyes, feeling the pain, feeling her world crumbling down, feeling her heart broke down to pieces. I see, I am just that woman. The moment she opened her eyes, there is now a new-born resolve that even Naruto did not expect from her, "Okay, I understand Naruto-kun. I perfectly do."

Naruto looked so relieved that Hinata felt like crying. But as what she had always learned in her degree, learn to channel negative emotions to more productive activities, "Let's fuck Naruto-kun."

Naruto did not have any chance to reply when he just felt Hinata under the table. Hinata pulled down Naruto's shorts and grabbed his hardening length. I am so angry and hurt right now, I just want him to ruin me.

Hinata licked the tip of Naruto's length, kissed his entire length and used her right hand to pump him to erection. Slowly, she licked and cupped him.

Hinata felt Naruto hardened and she heard him groan under her ministrations. Hinata knows what he really likes about her being his partner. She knows how he ticks, what he wants and how to make him whimper. Hinata felt that anytime soon Naruto will release when she suddenly swallowed him whole until it reached the back of her throat. He pulled on her hair as he looks up, mouth gaping. When he groaned loudly she felt so powerful, all her hurt was on that sucking of her. She felt like she really needs to make him do her bidding and at the same time, she wants him to ruin her; to make her feel pain and to make her feel hole again at the same time.

She felt Naruto's hard torso as she sucked him off. And as he was approaching his climax, she suddenly withdraws from him, making a plopping sound in the background. Hinata felt Naruto's frustration just the way she planned. Naruto grabbed her up by her hair and pushed her to sit on top of the table and without further ado ripped her panties off and pushed inside roughly.

"Damn you, Hinata." He spat.

Hinata screamed at the sudden intrusion, but she elcomed it. All her frustrations, all her pain, all her disappointments and confusion were on that loud voice she squeaks when she calls Naruto's name.

"Naruto-kun," is all that she can utter.

A few more hard thrusts were pumped before Naruto flipped Hinata without pulling out of her. Hinata lies with her chest on the table as Naruto pumps him harder and harder. The additional pain of him pulling her hair made her want him more. She felt her toes curling and with a few more call of her name from Naruto, she climaxed. Soon after, Naruto followed, slapping her butt cheeks before pulling out and lying on top of her back and kissing her exposed neck.

"What were you thinking, Hinata?" Naruto asked with heavy breathing.

"I just need some release," she answered quietly, feeling more relaxed; all her anger gone and forgotten. This is just what I needed. Him, inside me.

"Hinata, let's continue inside the bedroom." Naruto hispered behind her, before lifting her up and bringing her to his room, "I need to be inside you again" seeing Naruto staring at her breast exposed by his pulling of her apron and Hinata felt him hardening again.

That night was spent with unbidden passion, just like they always share in each other's arms.

Ja'ne!
