A Forbidden Love

Chapter 17

Hinatas POV
After I had fallen asleep after Yoshitsune had sang me to sleep with the lullaby I woke up with the sun shining down on my face. It was so warm. I sighed and wrapped my arm around Yoshitsune's waist... I snuggled up closer to him. At some point I realized something is wrong. I felt my hand around the bed but came across an empty bed. What the hell?! My eyes snapped open and I jolted upright immediately. My head snapped to where Yoshitsune would be and my eyes took in the empty space. I felt the sheets and they were pretty cold.. He has been gone for a while. I felt hurt at the fact that after everything has happened he would just leave me without even saying a word. That came crashing down on me rather hard. I tried not to make to big a deal out of it so I climbed out of bed and went to my bathroom and decided to take a shower. I looked down at myself and realized I was still wearing Yoshitsune's shirt. I picked up the fabric gently between my fingers and held it under my nose. The shirt had faint traces of his cologne and boy did it smell heavenly. To be wearing his shirt right now even though it had dirt on it and some blood from my head wound it still made me feel safe and at peace. Like even though he wasn't here it felt like he was here. I smiled and without wasting another moment I quickly unbuttoned the shirt he let me use to stay warm last night and laid it on the counter in my bathroom. After his shirt was off and laying somewhere safe I stripped out of yesterday's clothes and hopped in the shower. I let the water run all over me and wash away all the dirt ... All the pain... All the stress away from yesterday... After my hair was washed and I was clean I quickly hopped out of the shower and wrapped myself up in my robe. For a second I thought I heard a voice in my room. I walked to the bathroom door and opened it. The sight before my eyes was both dazzling and surprising all at the same time. There lying on my bed was Yoshitsune shirtless and tanned. His hair was in its usual style and his face lit up like Christmas morning when he saw me. I smiled and went to him. I sat on the edge of the bed and allowed him to pull me into his arms. He nuzzled my neck and i relished in the comfort of his arms around me. He kissed my cheek and whispered in my ear,"how are you this morning??" I shuddered against the feeling of his breath tickling my ear," I'm fine and I'm all clean too..." He raised an eyebrow and chuckled. He smelt my hair and said,"your hair smells good... You just washed it didn't you..." I nodded and blushed imagining what might possibly be going through his mind. I shook my head as if to clear my head and said,"so... Where did you go???... When I woke up you were gone..." He looked like he was struggling with some kind of internal battle when he answered me and said,"I just went To go find kirodayu... That's all... I thought it would be a nice surprise for you... I knew you would be worried about him so I went and brought him home safe and sound... He's down in the stables with midnight.. They get along really well... Maybe a little too well..."he said chuckling lightly at the end. I smiled back and laughed and said,"thanks for bringing him back for me... I appreciate it.. " he got a mischievous smile and said,"I know how you can thank me..." I smiled back and said,"and how could I do that???..." He sat up and pulled me into his lap. He brought his lips against my ear and whispered,"kiss me Hinata..." I smiled and said,"fine but I want one thing in return..." He raised his eyebrows curiously and said,"what might that be..." I pulled away from him and said,"I want... Your shirt.." I said blushing at the end. He looked perplexed for the moment and he said,"what???... You want my shirt????... Why??? ... I don't mind but why??" I blushed and said,"because it Smells like you and it reminds me of you... Whenever you werent with me I had your shirt with me and I don't feel lonely anymore.." I said quietly. He was smirking and said in a baby voice,"awwww... Wus somebody wonewy..." He pulled me tighter into his chest and I started laughing but then put a pouty face on. He frowned and said,"you were weren't you..." I nodded. He began tickling me and peppered my face with kisses. I couldn't help but laugh. I was very ticklish. He chuckled against my ear and said,"but it's my favorite white shirt..." I climbed out of his grasp and said,"too damn bad.. It's mine now..." I said laughing I ran to my dresser and grabbed a pair of black athletic shorts with two thin white stripes on the side and a gray spaghetti strap tank top. I grabbed some panties and didn't bother to grab a bra cause one was built in to the tank top. Thank the gods for those. I ran into the bathroom and locked the door in case Yoshitsune decided to be bad. I quickly threw on my clothes. I looked in the mirror and frowned my hair was a wet mess. I quickly combed it out and pulled it into a side braid. I brushed my teeth and put on deodorant and perfume. Satisfied I turned and grabbed the shirt and opened the bathroom door. I hid his shirt behind my back and watched him with amusement as his eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head. My eyes drifted over to my bedside table and I saw a breakfast platter for two with what was my usual breakfast. Coffee and croissants. I inhaled the pastry and coffees' smell and smiled. My favorite. I went over to the bed and plopped down beside him. He spotted his shirt from behind my back and snatched it away from me. "Hey!!" I yelled in my protest. He chuckled and said,"finders keepers... Sorry short stack but this is my shirt..." I crossed my arms over my chest and said,"my name is not short stack and give it back!" He held it out of my reach above his head on the bed and I climbed on top of him to reach it. But he traded hands. I let out an irritated growl and he chuckled and said,"you are so cute when you get mad.." I let out another growl and said,"well I'm about to get adorable..." I lunged for the shirt while the idiot was too busy laughing at me and snatched it out of my hands. I let out a victorious "yeah!!!" And then was suddenly pulled into strong arms on someones lap. I curled into a ball and clutched his shirt against my chest. He chuckled and said,"Hinata can I please have the shirt??" I debated for a moment and said,"nope finders keepers..." And popped the "p" in nope. He chuckled and said,"fine whatever makes you happy..." I smiled victoriously and gave him a peck on the cheek. He clicked his tongue saying Uh uh uh. I raised an eyebrow and he pointed to his lips. Right I owe him a kiss for the shirt.. And for getting kirodayu. I chuckled and gave him a big kiss right on the lips. He smiled and held me in his arms against his chest. Victoriously I held my prize tightly in my arms. My victory haze was interrupted when he whispered in my ear and kissed my hair and said,"can we at least share the shirt???" I smirked and said,"no I don't like sharing..." He grinned and said ,"we have something in common..." He pulled me closer against him and I realized what he was saying then and blushed at the comment. I nuzzled my face in his neck and wrinkled my nose. I loved him to death but something had to be done about this.. "Yoshitsune... You know what we don't have in common??" He raised an eyebrow and said,"what??" I smiled innocently and blushed when I said,"a shower ..." He feigned hurt and I rolled my eyes at his dramaticness. He got up from the bed and said,"fine I see how it is... You don't want to be in my arms or snuggle or anything..." I blushed and said,"after a shower??" As a question and a statement. He chuckled and smiled my favorite crooked smile and he walked into my bathroom. I watched him close the door and heard him lock it. And then the water started running and I knew he was in the shower by then. While he was in the shower I munched on the croissants and drank my coffee. I was much more pleasant after coffee. After a while I heard the door to the bathroom unlock and when I turned and saw him walking out of the bathroom wrapped up in a towel from the waist down and water droplets rolling down his stomach and chest I choked on the bite of croissant I had in my mouth.. I blushed when he said with a smirk and crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the wall. "Did I startle you??" He asked in a voice so smexy I thought I would melt. I swallowed the bite I had been chewing and drank it down with some coffee and said,"Noo... No.. Not at all.. " I said stuttering. He smirked and he knew I was lying through my teeth. Damn it. He was right. He had startled me.
