Ashes (A Naruto Fanfic Book 6)

Chapter 33

We walked back through the crowd, Hinata and I smiling and greeting people.  I was grabbed up by someone large, and Itachi glared, then quickly relaxed.  "Amazing as always."

I sent a shock through his body so he would let me go.  "Thanks..."

He laughed.  "Still feisty as ever... so... this is the fiancé?"

I smiled.  "He is."

He looked down at Itachi.  "An Uchiha... never took them for your type."

I shrugged.  "Well... here we are."  I looked at the next group, taking the stage.  "Enjoy your night, A.  We'll speak tomorrow."

He nodded, and Itachi took my hand.  "Thought better than to fight him, Itachi?"

He shrugged.  "He meant you no harm."

I smiled.  "Very few people do now a days."  Music began to play, and I grabbed Itachi's other hand.  "Dance with me, Uchiha."

He looked skeptical.  "What?"

I started to sway and spun under one of his arms.  "Don't worry, I'll make you look good."

Hinata giggled.  "Never seen an Uchiha dance."

I smirked at her as Aya joined us, Ryo, in tow.  "Neither have I." Itachi stood awkwardly watching us move to the music, and I laughed and closed the distance between us.  "Can't just stand there."

I put his hands on my waist and mine on his sides, making him step from side to side.  "Now sway a bit."  I snaked my body against his and smirked at his reaction.  "Good, now just move to the beat... I'll do the rest."  I moved away and twisted and turned as I took his hands again.  Soon, he began to relax and even danced along when he picked up on something.

I smiled mischievously as the music slowed and spun in his arms, my back to his chest.  I swayed against his body and guided his hands up mine.  I loved the feel of his hands on me, but I felt anything more would be taking it too far.  I faced him again and smiled, placing his hands on my waist again and resting mine on his chest.  "Having fun, Uchiha?"

He gazed at me, desire radiating off of him.  "When does this end?"

I giggled.  "When the music stops, but you can leave anytime."

He was silent, deciding.  "We can stay a little longer."

I smirked.  "As you wish."  When the song ended, I pulled him to our area.

Minato smiled at me.  "That jutsu was impressive."

I blinked, playing dumb.  "What jutsu?"

Tsunade frowned.  "When you were playing, brat."

I put a finger on my chin.  "No... I don't recall."

Minato laughed.  "Well, whichever one of you cast it, it's by far the strongest I've seen.  Even Itachi couldn't break it."

I smirked.  "That is impressive, isn't it?"

Hinata came up, smiling.  "Not bad at all, Sensei..."

I smiled at her and hugged Itachi's waist.  "Teach him a few things, and maybe he can join the act."

Minato cleared his throat.  "Hinata, who taught you that genjutsu."

She looked confused.  "What genjutsu?"

He blinked.  "The one..."

Ryo laughed.  "Give up, Lord Fourth.  No one besides those two knows who casts it."

He was puzzled.  "Why?"

I smiled.  "Why do you need to know?"

He sighed.  "It'd be nice to know who can do such a thing."
