NARUTO
Naruto never made it to that night's session with Hinata-chan. Though Naruto isn't an expert in picking up on subtly, even he can see they're making decent progress, despite how boring all the housework was. Hinata-chan was almost looking directly at him for two seconds before she turns away.
She can also say, 'hi,' and, 'bye,' to him without fidgeting much. As she is very shy, Naruto handles the bulk of the talking, not that he minds, since she seems content to listen and in less than two sessions, he finds it's actually nice talking to someone who's willing to listen.
If this wasn't orchestrated by Hinata-chan's sensei, he'd be happy to be friends with the shy girl outside of all Kurenai-sensei's rules.
The beautiful sensei had a lot of rules and sometimes they were hard to remember when he gets caught up in a story. It forces him to repeat her guidelines over and over in his head: 'Don't ask or mention her clan. Don't talk about specific events from school.
Don't be too personal or ask her too many questions. If you run into her, act as you did before the sessions.' And on and on.
After every session, Kurenai-sensei would critique how he engaged the meek Hyga heiress, reciting some of the comments she doesn't approve of verbatimeven he didn't remember everything he said in the sessionadding more to his opinion of the adult kunoichi.
For a sensei, she was beautiful, smelled really nice, and he liked the way she would lean over sometimes, but she was very controlling over every part of the sessions, even governing the way he talks. Apparently, she thinks he's too cocky, but he's fairly sure she just doesn't like him much.
She hasn't done anything outright to express her hatred of him, not like many of the villagers had when he was younger, but with every interaction, he felt more and more convinced she didn't see him as anything more than a tool.
Still, Naru-nii had already told Naruto how incredibly strong Hinata-chan can and will be. Hastening her training so she can be that much stronger is definitely better, which is why Naruto feels bad about missing the session the day Ino came over.
Aside from sex that day and the blowjob the day before, Naruto knows next to nothing about the pretty blond. If Naruto wants to explore this new amazing branch of activity, he has to be good for her as much as she is for him.
Sadly he doesn't know what that means or entails, thus he stayed up well into the night torturing his mind for a solution to this complicated dilemma.
He didn't even train, which only highlights the plight of his impasse as losing several hours of training actually amounts to days when he uses his clones.
On top of the remorse of missing the session, he was feeling guilty he hadn't trained, especially with the knowledge of what's at stake, but fortunately, he's given the chance to catch up lost time.
"Listen up my cute genin," Kakashi begins abruptly, showing up in a swirling circle of leave after being two hours late. "I'm sad to report Sakura-chan has fallen ill, so she won't be joining us today."
"Is she going to be okay," Naruto fretfully asks, worried straight away about Sakura-chan. "How bad is it? Is she in the hospital? Are we going to visit her?"
"Ma, ma," Kakashi starts, waving a free palm to calm the blond down. "Her mother said it was just a cold. She's resting in her home, so we shouldn't interrupt her recuperation."
"It's just a cold, dobe," Sasuke calmly points out. "Unless her existence is too weak for this world, it shouldn't kill her."
"She's not weak," Naruto throws back angrily. How anyone could love this pompous, emotional Shut-In is beyond him, but Naruto's animosity has more to do than Sasuke's indifference. "She's our teammate, teme!
And you better start treating her like one or I'll-" Naruto angrily slams his right fist into his left palm. "Kick your ass!"
