My Song Is Formless

Chapter Fourteen

Naruto's blue eyes never wavered as he gazed intently at the woman in front of him.

The whole room went silent as they waited for his reaction..

The woman was panting as she tried to struggle out of Karin's grip.

"Ka-Ka-Karin! Please just let me go! I'm-I'm not ready!!" Hinata whisper yelled, breaking the silence.

Naruto swallowed harshly as his eyes roamed from the newcomer's body and slowly up to her face.

"What do you mean you're not ready?! Nagato and I told you already just hear what he has to say first!" Karin snapped back as the lady bit her lower lip.

"Man you're hot..." Naruto accidentally blurted out as everyone's eyes snapped to the blonde.

Naruto's face blushed madly as he realised what he just said and he quickly flailed his arms in front of him.

"No no no! That wasn't what I meant! I mean I'm feeling hot after she entered the room! Wait-wait that sounded wrong! I mean..."

"Naruto, I would have bashed your head in if you weren't married to my cousin." Neji let the cat out of the bag as Shikamaru face palmed himself while Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"So much for the genius plan Shikamaru... And to think another genius like Neji was the one who screwed it up.." Sasuke thought to himself.

"Huh? What?" the blonde asked, dumbfounded. "I'm married?"

The newcomer gasped at his reply and his blue eyes quickly snapped to meet her lavender ones.

Hinata thought she would be prepared to face Naruto's amnesia condition but to hear him utter those words... It still hurts though...

"Fine we'll get straight to the point." Hiashi closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose and gave a deep sigh before opening his eyes again. "I am here because I'm your father-in-law and you are married to my daughter.. Hinata Hyuga here." he finished as he pointed with his thumb towards Hinata.

"Hina... Hinata..." Naruto whispered out, trying to see how the name rolls off his tongue..

Hinata's eyes never blinked as she stared at him intently.

Naruto then shook his head as he scratched his whiskered cheek sheepishly.

"I'm sorry Hina... Hinata... I-I... I can't remember you at all..."

Hinata bit her lower lip hard as she gave a slight smile.

"It's okay Naruto kun... We'll do it step by step..." she answered softly.

*~*

"You sure you don't want to follow your dad home? You don't have to overnight here with me Hinata..." Naruto told the bluenette as she gave a gentle smile and shook her head.

"It's fine Naruto kun... I want to stay here. I'm worried about you. How are you going to take a shower with your injuries by yourself? You need someone to give you a sponge bath instead and I am your wife so I ought to do the job."

"Hinata I'm really fine. Besides... I..." Naruto stopped short as his whiskered cheeks reddened with embarrassment.

"Besides you what Naruto kun?"

"Ano... Eto... Uhm... I'm... I'm..."

"Uh huh..." Hinata urged as she held onto one of Naruto's hands and stroked his fingers.
