Whispers In The Dark

First Blood

Naruto hammered the last nail, the D-ranks easier now that he can walk vertical surfaces and upside down. He looked at Hinata and smiled, "That's the last hole!"

She smiled up at him, "I'll tell the client!"

Their role has been decided early on; Hinata will be their spoke person which help with her timidity, Sasuke can be the face and just the face since he don't talk anyway, while Naruto will be the grunt. Naruto didn't mind. Rather, more like he didn't have the mind to mind the rather unfair treatment. But he had to assure Hinata that it's alright, he didn't care if the client snub him as long as they pay. So Hinata amended by making sure they pay exactly for a Genin of three and not just two while handing tips that should belong to Naruto to them.

Someone had tried that once and that was the first time Hinata bring out her dormant Hyuuga blood.

Having never had anyone stand up for him or defend him before, despite not really needing it since he do not have the capacity to care, Hinata stood out even more to him. That night he dreamt of being carried like a bride in her arms.

She has also grown a spine to rebuke them when they get too rowdy for her. Where before she will stutter and shuffle in discomfort, nowadays whenever he or Sasuke argue she would smile that Hyuuga Smile TM and chopped their heads hard enough to shut them both up saying "dame" with an adorably disapproving voice. Naruto have been picking fights with Sasuke just so that she will willingly touch his head since it tingles whenever she did that.

But they knew that they had really done it when she started glaring with her Byakugan...

That was scary...

He wanted her to do that again!

But if Hinata caught onto his game, then she might just stop doing it which would suck for Naruto. His heart will always race around her and he will actually feel something but whenever she glare with her Byakugan active, he will feel a strange sort of thrill down his spine that made him shiver. So he seldom start anything that will activate the Byakugan Glare TM.

Kakashi shook his head as he noticed the drugged up look Naruto had as he slightly drooled from whatever it was that he was thinking, face all flushed and breathing hard complete with a disturbing giggle that only Kakashi had ever made whenever he read a particularly spicy part of the Icha-Icha Series. It looked so wrong on a face as young as Naruto's. He shuddered.

He grumbled, "Where did you even learn how to make a face like that?"

Naruto blinked, wiping his little drool off, "Face like what?"

Kakashi shook his head, "What were you thinking about anyway?"

It can't be anything that he was thinking about to make that kind of face, right?

"Angry Hinata,"

Kakashi blinked, "So that's your kink..."

Honestly, Naruto took after his father in the most surprising way Kakashi really should stop feeling like his heart's going to drop to the ground whenever that happened. Minato would always declare when drunk that angry Kushina turned him on. When the Uzumaki heard, she can't even get mad because that would just make him excited. It has come to the point that Kakashi get scared when he saw Kushina chasing Minato through Konoha because the first time he thought he will have to go comfort Minato after what he assumed was a big fight, he learned sex-ed first class seat.

If one wondered why he became a pervert, he will point at the two with no hesitation.

Naruto's worrisome expression disappeared as he stared at Kakashi in confusion, "What are you talking about, dattebayo?"
