This is actually an M-rated rewrite of my previous "More than enough..." NaruHina fanfic. If you've read it, you can actually go ahead and skip to chapter 3, which is the lemon chapter. If not... Keep reading!
I've actually re-written a few scenes and omake to tie them up better to "The Last" movie.
Naruto, Hinata and the other characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto, but I don't have to tell you that!
Continuity wise, this story takes place a few months after "The Last".
Hinata Hyuga smiled widely as she put on her normal casual dress, and started combing her hair. She got the word that Naruto is coming back from his latest mission, and was really looking forward to see him.
It's been more than a few months ever since the moon almost crushed on Earth and Hanabi was kidnapped. During that time, Naruto fought a living demi-god on the moon for her, declared his love to her and they shared their first kiss. When they came back to Earth however, both literally and figuratively, they both agreed that the best course of action was to get to know each other better slowly. So they agreed to go on dates and spend time with each other before committing to anything serious.
To their pleasant surprise, they both got along surprisingly well. He enjoyed teasing her and watching her blush. She enjoyed his playful nature and his good-hearted jokes. She enjoyed going to the movies with him and holding his hand while he offered her some pop-corn. She enjoyed listening to him while he talked about his latest mission and he enjoyed listening to her talking about hers. For some reason, they just "clicked"…and yet…
Hinata noticed that Naruto was extremely hesitant towards her. In the three months they've been dating, he was extremely hesitant to initiate contact with her. It took him three dates to finally hold her hand, and five more to give her a simple kiss on the cheek. The man who always wore his heart on his sleeve, couldn't bring himself to go the extra mile with her. It was like the moon mission never happened.
Something was clearly bothering him about their relationship, but Hinata just couldn't get him to open up to her about it. She didn't know how she was supposed to bring it up. Still, she enjoyed her time with him, and it was clear that he enjoyed his time with her.
'Oh well, maybe today is finally the day...' she thought to herself as she grabbed her handbag, wore her sandals and exited the Hyuga compound.
The last thing she expected to see was a young brown haired Kunoichi staring intently at her.
"Yes? Can I help you?"
"Are you Hinata Hyuga? Naruto's alleged girlfriend?"
At this point Hinata said the only thing that was really appropriate under the circumstances.
"Is there a problem?"
The young kunoichi went on a rant about how she is unsuitable for Naruto, about how she should stop using him, that Naruto was fond of looking at her, about how she belongs to him and he only belongs to her. About how she looks into his eyes and sees that she is clearly destined for him. That he should dump her sorry ass and be with him.
Hinata remembered immediately where she had seen that girl before. Before the moon mission, she was one of the girls that were approaching Naruto, asking him to spend time with them. She recalls her distinctively because on the night that her sister was kidnapped, she was at Ichiraku Ramen, wrapping her arms around Naruto just as he was about to sit next to her and enjoy some ramen with her. She remembered her heart aching and crying when she thought that this girl had an affair with him. She tried to tell herself that she should be happy for Naruto, when he thought that the scarf he wore belonged to her, but it still hurt.
And now that girl was screaming at her directly outside her house.
The young kunoichi was beginning to attract a crowd nearby who was now getting curious about what was going on. It became clear to Hinata that the young kunoichi was not just going to listen to reason, and that she needed to shut her up fast! This was not a time for her to be patient and understanding.
Hinata calmly shut down the door to the Hyuga compound behind her and activated her byakugan. As the veins on her face became visible and her pupils began to show, the young girl in front of her froze in her tracks. She obviously never encountered a byakugan user before.
The young kunoichi panicked. As she reached to get a kunai from her back pocket to attack the perceived threat she felt a tingling sensation and found out that her hand was paralyzed. The young Hyuga's hand was nearby barely touching her arm. She froze in fear.
"What did you do to me?"
"I blocked some of your tenketsu points with a "gentle fist". You won't be able to move your hand for a few minutes. Now, you will answer a few questions. First of all, what is your name?"
"Kumiko… Kumiko Kunesawa."
"Nice to meet you Kumiko. Now… How did you find out where I live?"
"I just asked around and…"
"You're lying!"
"How… How did you know?"
"My eyes can perceive subtle changes in somebody's facial expressions. Right now, your muscles tense and your eye moves to the upper left, which means you are making stuff up. Now, let me repeat my last question. How did you find out where I live?"
"I… I followed him around… and… I watched him. When… he… went out on a date with you… I… saw him escorting you back here…"
Hinata flinched a bit at her answer.
"All right. Now… You are clearly upset about something. What happened between you and Naruto?"
The young kunoichi started talking. Apparently, she had a crush on Naruto for a long time and was always cheering for him whenever he came back from a mission. She was buying him gifts and sending him letters but he never responded to her.
"Last week, before his last mission, I found him training alone. I… just came up to him and told him I loved him. He told me that he was flattered but that he already was with someone he loved and cared greatly about. And… I… just couldn't take it…"
Hinata deactivated her byakugan, and stepped back. By now the paralysis was starting to fade and the girl began to move again.
"…and so you thought it was a good idea to come here and start screaming at his girlfriend?"
The young kunoichi blushed. She was clearly starting to get embarrassed by her actions. This was stupid.
"I just wanted him to be happy… with me… and…"
Hinata placed a friendly hand on her shoulder.
"This is not how it works Kumiko. If you love somebody, you just want him to be happy and content. Even if this ultimately means not being with him. True love is selfless, not obsessive."
Kumiko's eyes began to tear up. She tried to mouth a response but the words wouldn't come out.
"For years, even though I loved Naruto, I couldn't bring myself to be with him. I wasn't sure if he loved me back, and that he would be happy with me... I still aren't. Right now, he's with me, he seems happy and it's the greatest feeling in the world. But I still have doubts if I am good enough for him, If I am right for him. You know?"
It was at this point that Kumiko's face was flushed with tears and snot. She managed to mouth a few words.
"I… I… understand now …That… was… beautiful! Thank you! I… I… I will be rooting for you!"
Kumiko wiped her tears, smiled weakly and started running. She was soon a little dot in the distance. Hinata sighed and leaned against the compound's wall.
She didn't really mind Naruto having fangirls. But getting jumped by one of them outside her home was a completely new experience to her. She really didn't know what to make of it.
It was then she realized... She was dating the hero who saved the shinobi world… twice…
Naruto proclaimed his love to her, sure, but at the end of the day, while he was still Naruto to her, to the rest of the world he was a myth, a legend. Whether she liked it or not, Naruto was finally getting the acknowledgement he deserved and he was going to have plenty of people trying to grab his attention as friends… or potential love interests.
'Is this the reason, he didn't kiss me ever since… that time?'
She needed to think.
