Chapter 22: Another's Feelings

Later that Day

Naruto had finished his training with Han and Roushi as everyone went their separate ways. Naruto promised to bring his other friend to them sometime. The two liked that idea as they walked off with their bijuu. Kairi and Raimin obviously looked at Hina with smiles on their faces as they gave her a thumbs up. Hina blushed as she slowly nodded. Naruto and Hina decided to head back to the compound.

"Man that training was tough," Naruto said with a huff. Hina smiled with a nod.

"You were really pushing yourself today," She told him. Naruto smiled as he turned to her.

"Well we do have to get ready for war I suppose," Naruto said to her. Hina could only nod in agreement. She had seen too many wars for a lifetime. Hina even thought over how humans, save a select handful of the world, were even more evil than most of her subjects in the demon realm. Naruto turned to see Hina in some deep thought as he tried to assess what she said earlier.

"I wonder what she wants to talk with me about" Naruto thought to himself as he looked her over unconsciously. Naruto seemed mesmerized by her body and her fine figure as she seemed to walk with lots of elegance, for a demon. Hina could feel Naruto's intense stares on her body as she slowly turned to him.

"I-Is there something wrong Naruto-kun?" Hina asked him. Naruto snapped out of his daze as he looked at Hina. He suddenly blushed as he turned away.

"N-No Hina-chan, i-it's nothing at all," Naruto struggled to say. Hina smiled as she turned her eyes to the road.

As they walked, something very important stopped Naruto as he looked at Hina. Hina stopped as she turned to Naruto who appeared to be sweating a little bit.

"What is the matter Naruto-kun?" Hina asked him. Naruto suddenly looked up at her as he tried to speak.

"Umm Hina...How are we going to explain you to the others?" Naruto asked her. Hina's eyes went wide as the realization dawned on her. Hina stood in silence as she tried to think of the best way to tell Naruto's friends about her. Hina smiled as she grabbed Naruto hand and dragged him to the compound.

"Hina-chan?" Naruto asked her. Hina smiled.

"We will just keep it short and simple. I am the Kyuubi no Yoko...there simple enough right?" She told him. Naruto's mouth hanged as he looked at Hina. Naruto nodded as Hina dragged him to the compound.

"Something tells me that it is not going to be that easy," Naruto said under his breath.

Shinobi House

Everyone was lounging around the house, as some people just go back from their training.

"Man Ino, do you always have to be so cruel?" Kiba said to her. Ino smirked as she looked at Kiba.

"You should have dodged the poisonous flower," Ino simply told him. Kiba grew a vein as he looked at her.

"Why do you even have poisonous flowers anyway?" He asked her. Ino smiled as she turned to him.

"Why do you like Hinata?" She asked her. Kiba blushed, but looked confused.

"T-T-That is none of your business," Kiba said to a smiling Ino.

"Then neither is my flower business," Ino told him. Kiba grumbled as he mumbled under his breath 'flower bitch' which caused a sudden chase of Ino after Kiba as he tried to dodged on the poisonous kunai that Ino was trying to impale him with.

"CARE TO REPEAT THAT KIBA!," Ino yelled as she chased him around the house. Kiba ran for his life as he entered the living room. As he ran he accidently stepped over Neji's sleeping face as he passed the others. Neji woke up with a foot print on his face as his eyes narrowed.

"KIBA!," He said as he ran after Kiba with his byakugan blazing. Everyone sighed as some continued to play a card game.

"Got any 5's Tsunade?" Jiraiya asker her. Tsunade sighed as she wondered where her fiancee had gone.

"No I don't Jiraiya, any 4's Hinata?" She asked the shy girl.

"Y-Yes Tsunade," Hinata said as she gave her a card. Tsunade smiled as she put her cards down.

"I am out," Tsunade said as she laid back. Everyone sighed as they put their cars down and laid back on the floor.

"Man, we all trained, but there is still so much of this day left," Tenten grumbled. Everyone could only nod in agreement. Right now, they could only wait until Onoki gave them a mission involving Konoha, therefore everyone had a lot of free time, much more than they actually wanted. As everyone tried to sleep, they suddenly heard screams come from the yard.

"I guess they caught dog-boy," Tsunade said to everyone. Everyone chuckled as they nodded. Soon the doors lid open as everyone looked to see an irate Sasuke.

"Who is yelling right now?" He said to them. Everyone sighed as they pointed to the yard.

"Kiba," Everyone said as Ino and Neji came back into the living room and sat down. Everyone sweatdropped as they saw Neji and Ino smirk. Sasuke sighed.

"Why am I here with these guys again?" Sasuke wondered as he decided to stay in the living room. As he sat down, everyone heard the front door slid open.

"I AM HOME!," Naruto yelled. Everyone smiled as laid on the floor, Tsunade obviously had the biggest smile. As Naruto entered the living room, everyone's expressions turned to shock as they saw the company that followed Naruto. Tsunade quirked up an eyebrow as she put her hands on the table.

"Hey Naruto-kun, who is that?" Tsunade asked with a smile. Everyone turned to Naruto who took a few steps back. Everyone could feel the KI roll off of Tsunade as if she was implying 'give me an answer and if it isn't what I want you will pay'. Everyone turned to Naruto, who coughed into his hand.

"F-first Hime, I think you should calm down," Naruto told her. Tsunade looked at him for a second, but sighed. She slowly calmed down as everyone breathed easily.

"Okay Naruto, so who is that?" Neji asked her. Naruto smiled as he looked at everyone.

"Everyone please meet...Kyuubi no Yoko, Hina" Naruto said to them. Suddenly their was a silence as everyone had blank looks on their faces. Naruto kept a strained smile as he looked at Hina.

"Short and simple my ass Hina, this might be a disaster," Naruto thought. Soon the silence lifted as Lee decided to speak.

"Wow so the Kyuubi is female," Lee said in wonder. Because of Lee, everyone managed to come back to reality everyone looked at them. Suddenly Tsunade and Jiraiya shot forward.

"Jiraiya contain it now," Tsunade said as she let out a punch. Jiraiya nodded as they tried to close the gap between them and Hina. Naruto smiled as he blocked Tsunade's punch and stopped Jiraiya with a clone.

"Whoa whoa Hime, she isn't a bad person," Naruto told them. Everyone looked shocked.

"But Naruto, she is the reason why you have been having a hard time Konoha," Kiba said to him with a few bruises on his face. Naruto smiled at his face as he turned to Tsunade.

"She is also the reason why I have a gorgeous fiancee," Naruto said to Tsunade. Tsunade simply blushed as she looked at Naruto. She sighed as she pulled back her fist with muttering 'damn you and your sweet talk'.

"Besides, from our conversations, I believe Hina when she says that she didn't mean to attack Konoha," Naruto said to them. Hina nodded as everyone looked shocked. Tsunade turned to Jiraiya who sighed, but nodded. Tsunade nodded as everyone sat down.

"Please sit and explain," Tsunade said to Hina. Hina nodded as she sat down. Hina began to explain. She told how she was busy fight Ichibi and Sanbi over some territorial matters. She told how she managed to hold both back, but was incredibly tired after the fight that she failed to notice a man with the sharingan place her under a genjutsu and attack Konoha. She also told how she tried to fight the control, but couldn't and the next thing she knew she was inside a cage inside Naruto. As she finished her story, she looked over everyone in the room.

"I talked with Ichibi, he said that the part about the fight was true and he apologizes," Gaara said to her. Hina smiled and nodded.

"Tell him I forgive him and that later I can get Naruto to get him out of that cage," Hina said to him. Gaara nodded as he heard the thrashing of excitement from Ichibi.

"Well that definitely explains a bit, but do you know who this guy is?" Jiraiya asked her. Hina shook her head.

"Sorry I don't, he had on a mask. All I saw was the sharingan," Hina told him. Sasuke seemed interested in the conversation as he looked at her.

"Could it have been Itachi?" Sasuke asked her in a curiosity. Hina turned to him.

"I don't think so, I have felt Itachi's energy before. The Uchiha who placed me under a genjutsu was a lot more evil than that," Hina said to him. Sasuke narrowed his eyes, but let out a thank you as he thought over the information. After 20 minutes of thinking, everyone smiled as they turned to Tsunade and Jiraiya.

"We believe her," They all said to her. Tsunade looked at them then at Hina.

"Alright we believe you, you are free to stay here," Tsunade said to her. Hina smiled as she nodded.

"Thank you," She said to them. Everyone nodded as they decided to go about some of their business.

Five Hours Later

Everyone sat on the floor in sheer boredom as they looked at the time. It was currently 7:15 p.m as everyone sighed.

"There has got to be something we can do," Ino said with her face on the carpet. Everyone nodded as they all thought over the idea. After 15 minutes, someone decided to give it a go.

"I think I know what we can all do," Hina said to them. Everyone even Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Shizune looked at her. Everyone got up as they looked at her.

"What is that Hina?" Kiba asked her. Hina smiled as she turned to Kiba.

"We should all do truth or dare," She sad with a finger up. Everyone looked at her then at each other. Everyone smiled as they nodded. Sure it was a game a bit too young for them, but they were bored out of their minds, they decided to try out the game.

"Alright, truth or dare it is," Ino said to them. Everyone nodded as they got up.

"We all need a bigger floor, and we need one more person," Naruto said with a smile. Everyone smiled as they left. Naruto smiled as he went down the hall. He slid open one of the doors as he looked at a sleeping figure on a futon. Naruto smiled as he looked at him.

"WAKE UP SASUKE," Naruto yelled as Sasuke stumbled out of bed. Sasuke's sharingan blazed as he looked at Naruto like he was insane.

"What the hell dobe, what do you want?" Sasuke asked him. Naruto smiled as he placed his hand on Sasuke's shoulder.

"We are going to play a game Sasuke, and we need you to join," Naruto told him. Sasuke snarled.

"You woke me up for that, I have no mood for games, I am going back to sleep," Sasuke said to him. Naruto smiled as he nodded. Naruto took out a piece of paper as he took a brush and wrote on the paper. Sasuke looked at him in confusion as Naruto finished.

"Alright Sasuke, you have to chose. You can either play a game with us...," Naruto said as Sasuke shook his head. Naruto smiled as he held up the paper.

…..or you can wear the permeant chakra restriction seal and will never get your chakra back," Naruto said to him with a smile. Sasuke narrowed his eyes as he looked at Naruto.

"You wouldn't dare," Sasuke said to him. Naruto smiled.

"Oh that is what you think," Naruto said to him. Sasuke sneered as he looked into Naruto's eyes. He saw that even though Naruto was smiling, he was dead serious. Sasuke sighed.

"Fine Fine dobe, I will play, but I won't enjoy it," Sasuke said to him. Naruto nodded as he put the seal into his coat. Naruto smiled as he and Sasuke walked out and into the meeting hall.

"Sucker," Naruto thought as they walked into the room. Everyone turned to see Naruto and Sasuke enter as they smiled.

"Nice of you to join us Sasuke," Temari said with devious smiled. Sasuke shrugged as he sat down. Naruto smiled as he sat down also.

"Alright, let us begin our truth or dare game," Naruto said to them. Everyone nodded as the game began.

"Who goes first?" he asked them. Ino smiled as she put her hand up.

"I want to go first, Gaara truth or dare," Ino said to him. Gaara thought for a second and sighed.

"Truth," He said to her. Ino nodded as she looked at him.

'What is you favorite hobby?" She asked him. Gaara looked at her and sighed again.

"I like to...cultivate cacti," Gaara said to her. Ino smiled with a nod as everyone joined with a smirk. Gaara shook his head as he started.

"Shino truth or dare," Gaara said to him. Shino being emotionless at times, decided to respond.

"Dare," Shino said to him. Gaara nodded.

"I dare you to take off those glasses and show us your eyes," Gaara told him. Shino sighed as everyone closed to see his eyed for the first time. Shino took off his glasses as he set them on the ground. Shino opened his eyes as everyone looked at him.

"Wow," Ino said as everyone looked at his eyes. Shino's eyes were quite black, but had a slight color of blue in them. His eyes were a bit similar to Sasuke's as he put his glasses back on.

"There," He said as everyone sat back.

"Tsunade-san truth or dare," Shino said to her. Shino smiled though thanks to his jacket people couldn't see it.

"Truth," Tsunade said to him. Shino nodded as he asked his question.

"When is the date for your wedding to Naruto?" he asked her. Tsunade smiled as she looked at him.

"I am not sure yet, we are still thinking over the location," She said to him. Shino nodded as he sat back. Hina seemed to wince a bit at the question that Shino asked. She suddenly clutched her heart as she tried to continue the game.

"Umm...Hina truth or dare?" Tsunade said to her. Hina looked up as all eyes were on her.

"Umm...dare," She wondering if she made the right choice. Tsunade smirked.

"Who is the person you currently love?" She asked her. Hina cursed under her breath. She knew she didn't have to say or she could lie, but she would be pestered about it later causing her to explode. Hina sighed as she looked up.

"I like no one," Hina said to them. Tsunade smirked realizing she trapped Hina.

"Oh yes you do, so who is it?" She asker her. Hina felt she was in a tight spot. Hina gulped as she looked at them. Everyone waited with pleading eyes for the response. Hina's mind collapsed as she decided to run.

"AHHH WHAT IS THAT!," She yelled pointing a finger. Everyone quickly turned to see nothing there as they looked back.

"Hina there is nothing-," Naruto stopped to see Hina was gone. Tsunade smirked and so did Naruto.

"Everyone hunt her down," Naruto said to them. Everyone smiled with a nod as they ran to look for the red haired woman.

With Hina

Hina was sitting on a ledge as she looked at the moon.

"I can't tell you, not in front of them Naruto-kun," Hina said to herself. Unknown to her, Naruto managed to track her down first as he looked at her.

"What can't you tell me?" Naruto said to her. Hina jumped as she turned around to see the blond walking toward her. Hina sighed as she saw she couldn't really run anyway.

"I can't tell you Naruto-kun, it will make you and Tsunade hate me," Hina said to him. Naruto seemed shocked that Hina would think that they would hate her. He slowly walked to her as he looked at her.

"Hina please tell me what the problem is,' Naruto told her. Hina looked at him and felt her will crumble. Hina sighed as she looked at him.

"You won't hate me for this?" She asked him. Naruto nodded seriously as he waited for his response. Hina sighed, thinking things couldn't get any worse for her. Hina looked Naruto dead in the eyes as she worked up her nerve.

"I love you Naruto-kun," Hina said to him.
