Okay, there were some points made and questions sent so I'll have a little explanation for you. First off, in real life, although some foxes do mate for life, some do not. For the purposes of this story fox demons will mate for life. Now girls do go into heat. I'm not talking about that time of the month ladies, it's actually the opposite. There are two or three days a month that we are most fertile and most likely to get pregnant. Although we are not as obvious as some animals it is quite common for women to have more sexual urges during that time. For the sake of this story Hinata will also be giving off a scent when she is around Naruto, a pheremone if you will telling him that she is most fertile, that she is in essence in heat. It is subtle, regular humans don't notice obviously. Okay, thank you to everyone who reviewed it's awesome! And thanks to everyone who favorited/alerted the story. It's nice to know you're reading even when you're not talking. :D And on with the show.

Outside of Naruto's apartment Ino and Sakura were hiding. "This stupid," Ino whined in a whisper. "What do you care what Naruto's doing? Come on, let's go to the party, it's probably just Iruka-sensai or something," Ino said not wanting to miss the movie.

"No, it's not, Naruto was cleaning, there's no way he'd do that for one of the guys, he doesn't even clean up for me. Something is up with him and I want to know what it is!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Sakura, you're just paranoid, it's about time he cleaned up that sty he lives in... hey isn't that Hinata?" Ino said suprised to see Hinata walking up the steps to Naruto's apartment and then knocking softly on the door. Naruto opened the door and with an enthusistic smile bowed and let her in. Ino looked at Sakura, "Fine, you were right, forget the movie and the two practically ran to the window to try to see what was going on.

Meanwhile, inside, Naruto was leading Hinata to the couch which had a new blanket and new throw pillows. He hadn't even known a couch needed those, but he wanted to buy a few things this morning to spruce up the place for Hinata and the salesperson had insisted. They were of course bright orange, but at least they matched the new curtains he'd just put up that morning. Sorry Sakura and Ino, have to do better than that. The table was covered in food now. Naruto actually blushed when he heard Hinata's startled reaction, he was turning into such a pervert, everything she did made him think about that!

"Ah, sorry Hinata, I wasn't sure what you liked. I bought everything I remembered you liked and then pretty much everything the shop keep recommended... I might have gone a little over-board," he admitted with the classic-embarrassed pose, on hand behind his head with the nervous laugh. "Uh, let's sit down," he suggested trying not to breathe in to deeply since her scent was still well, distracting to say the least. Sitting would be good, his condition would be less evident sitting, thank god Hinata had trouble actually looking straight at him, he didn't really want to explain that just thinking about her made him hard. Not real smooth Naruto, he thought to himself shaking his head and sitting next to her.

"I, uh wasn't sure what to get you to drink either, so I kind of just got one of everything," he admitted pulling a little cooler out from under the coffee table.

"Oh... Naruto, you didn't have to go to all this trouble... I would have been happy with whatever you picked," Hinata said, doing her best not to stutter, though she was red from all the effort Naruto had put into this. She noticed the place had been cleaned and that he had new things since just yesterday, presumably for her, and part of her just wanted to bury her head in a pillow and scream from excitement, but she was controlling herself, she didn't want Naruto to think she was crazy.

"I, well, I just wanted to make sure you had everything you liked," he admitted, "I did go a little over the top, maybe next time I could make a list of things you like instead," he suggested.

He wants a NEXT TIME! Inner Hinata practically screamed wanting to get up and do a dance, but outer Hinata just smiled, blushed and nodded looking down.

"So, uh, what would you like to drink?" Naruto asked and Hinata picked a can out of the cooler to please Naruto. Naruto put the movie on that the clerk at the rental place had suggested, saying it was perfect for couples and sat down next to Hinata helping himself to a little of pretty much everything and getting Hinata to try it all so he could find out what she liked out of the mass of food. They talked and joked about the movie, it was a romantic comedy and Naruto found the plot hilarious. About halfway through the movie Naruto found his hand had somehow laced his fingers with Hinata, and although she was blushing quite red and staring intently at the TV she made no objection and made no move to withdraw her hand from his. Naruto was paying less and less attention to the movie and more and more attention to Hinata

Hinata was watching the movie, but everytime she glanced over at Naruto he seemed to be watching her. Her heart felt like it was going to beat out of her chest, she was sure she was going to faint any minute, but so far so good, even when he'd take her hand, although she had turned bright red she'd managed to hold on without hyperventilating and passing out.

Right at the most romantic part of the movie Naruto turned to Hinata, he was blushing a little and kind of nervous, "Um, Hinata... would you consider, that is maybe we could... I mean, um would you..." and Naruto was interrupted by a crash coming from his bedroom. He swore under his breath and tore himself away from Hinata's hopeful gaze, "I'll check it out, just hold that thought," he said getting up and trying to hide his erection from Hinata. She did notice but thought she must be mistaken Naruto wouldn't feel like THAT just from looking at me and holding my hand, she thought, though she kind of wished it were otherwise.

She looked after him longingly, when he thought she wasn't looking he tucked his erection aside, it was uncomfortable but at least it was less noticable. He pulled out a kunai and stealthily walked up to his bedroom door flinging it open ready to attack when instead he saw Ino and Sakura tangled together underneath his bedroom window. They hadn't been able to get anything from outside so they'd tried to sneak into the bedroom, but they wouldn't wait for one of them to go first and ended up fighting on the window ledge causing them to fall in a tangle on the floor.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" Naruto yelled at them, furious they'd interrupted.

"We were just trying to find out what was going on!" Sakura managed to get up and yell back, taking refuge from the guilt in anger.

"By breaking into my house and spying on us!" he exclaimed.

"So, are you dating or what?" Ino asked, unable to resist.

"Well, I'd know by now but two idiot decided to get in a fight in my bedroom and interrupt. Get out!" he said exasperated pointing toward the door.

The two girls hung their heads and walked dejectedly out his door, "I am sorry," Sakura said as she left.

Naruto banged the door shut turing back to Hinata. "I am so sorry, I don't know what's wrong with them, they must be curious about you, they never care what's going on with me," he said with a sigh walking back to Hinata. He felt like the mood was completely ruined.

Hinata was looking down pointing her two fingers together nervously. "Ano, um, Naruto, did you mean what you said to Sakura & Ino?" she asked him, blushing unable to look him in the eye.

"About what? Being mad at them for spying on us, of course," he said calming down, "I am so sorry Hinata, I really don't know what's gotten into them, but I'll make sure they don't spy on you anymore," he assured her.

"Ah, no... I meant that were asking me to... you know... date you?" she asked hesitantly.

"Well... yeah, I mean, they totally ruined the mood, but... would you be my girlfriend?" he asked and quickly added, "I mean, I know I'm not good enough for you, but I'll be Hokage and it'll be differnt then. And I'll do whatever I have to to make myself better for you, I really like you... you're all I think about, I mean, I think about you alot," he qualified not wanting to come off as creepy, "so, I mean, even if you're not sure if you wanted to be my girlfriend now, even if we could just date for a while so you could get to know me or something..." he said until Hinata finally interrupted.

"Yes," she said flinging herself into his arms, bright red but so happy, "Yes to everything!" she exclaimed, hiding her face in his jacket.

Naruto put his arms around her pulling her close breathing in her scent his eyes closing as he forced control on himself. "That means you're my girlfriend, right?" he checked.

She just nodded, amazed she wasn't passing out.

"So... would it be okay if I kissed you then?" he asked tentatively, expecting to get his face slapped.

He felt a little shiver pass through Hinata and then to his suprise her face pulled away from his jacket, she was still looking down but she slowly nodded, nervously licking her bottom lip.
