Chapter 34:  Love is spreading

“Can I visit you tonight too?” Ino asked as she dusted her knees after getting up from the ground.

“Sure, you know my window is always open for you. You can also come through the front door and have dinner with Sensei and I for a change.”

“I doubt that she would let me spend the night in your room afterwards. It’s her home after all.”

“Probably.” he agreed after thinking about it. “Don’t forget that Shizune and Karin are on night shift today. You’ll have to wake up earlier than usual.” he reminded her and she dismissed the information with a sway of the hand not caring about it.

“See you tonight, baby.” she said sweetly and went for a kiss but Riku stopped her with a hand. With the other, he scooped a bit of himself on the corner of her mouth and offered it to her. Not thinking twice about it, Ino sucked on his finger and let out a very lusty moan on purpose. When she let his finger go he didn’t resist the kiss this time. “You really taste great.” she said and walked out the narrow and secluded alley they were in, all the while swinging her hips and making her bubble butt sway in ways that all Riku wanted was to dragged her back by her ponytail and fuck her delicious bottom. They haven’t done that yet. While she was adventurous and not opposed to the act itself, Ino was a bit scared of his size in her poor butt. She knew that Riku was very interested in it though and purposefully teased him in any way she could.

‘That minx!’ he mused, feeling annoyed and amused at the same time.

Exiting the alley after a few minutes, he walked down the street and took the long way home, avoiding the busiest routes at this time of the day. Being the Hokage’s apprentice unfortunately didn’t give him special privilege for roof hopping unless it was for an urgent mission, if he was part of Anbu or if he was working for the military police. Those people were extra-vigilant and were patrolling all around the village ever since the reformation of the organization. As such Riku, like everyone else really, had to walk all the way from point A to point B on a normal occasion. That allowed him to have a chance encounter by turning a corner. For the second time today, he met Hinata, except this time she bumped into him, not really watching where she was going. Her sad face, red eyes and tears that were fighting against her will so they could fall, quickly told him that something was wrong. The ‘Hey! You!’ he heard coming 30 feet behind her from a MP shinobi arresting Naruto that got onto a roof was enough to make him understand what happened.

“R-Ri-kun! I-I- s-s-sorr-” she tried to apologize but was way too emotionally fragile to do it properly at the moment.

“Shh.” he simply said as he put a finger on her lips. “Come on, let’s go somewhere else.” he added and bending his knees picked Hinata up in his arms in a princess carry.

He shushined away, putting a stop to any protest Hinata may have given him and left the dense areas of the village to reach their secret training spot in the forest, near the Naka river. It took a few minutes to reach there and he stopped near a tree close to the water. Hinata let herself be led and didn’t protest when he sat down against a tree with her in his lap.

“Go on, there is only us here.”

She didn’t need to be told twice. She gripped his shirt tightly, buried her head into his chest and began to cry loudly. He put his arms around her in a fierce embrace and rocked her body gently while making small circles onto her back to comfort her. After a few minutes of letting out everything she felt (and completely wetting his shirt) her tears began to dry up. With a very red nose and a bit of an embarrassing blush, Hinata removed his head from his chest.

“I made a mess. Sorry.” she apologized looking at said mess.

“It’s just a t-shirt, Hinata. I can wash it. You’re more important than it. And more difficult to wash.” he quipped and pulled her head forward so it could rest against his shoulder. They stayed like that in silence for a time, his hand still making circles on her back. Deciding she was feeling better, Hinata leaned back against his chest to feel him more and grabbed with her hand the wrist of his arm that was holding her in place. She simply closed her eyes and enjoyed the peace, warmth and comfort she was being given. A kiss to her temple made her sigh in contentment. She didn't know how long they stayed like that but she didn’t want it to end. The moment was broken by Riku speaking up. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the sun was setting, meaning they had spent the whole afternoon like this.

“If not for you, I would have stuck a kunai with an explosive tag into his… Well… where the sun doesn’t shine.” he said and the absurdity of it made her giggled.

“I… would like that very much but would feel really bad afterwards.”

“Oh? Not directly feeling bad but liking it first? Who perverted my kind moon princess? I’ll have a few words about tainting what should not be tainted.” he joked, making her chuckle.

“You did! You scoundrel! It’s all your fault.” she joked back.

“I’m pretty sure it’s the influence of Anko, Ino and Karin. I’m as white as snow.”

“... Perhaps.” was her only denying comment and it sounded very weak.

A comfortable silence was shared once more between the two but didn’t last more than a minute before Riku broke it.

“He’s a fool. I hope you know that?”

“...”

“He’s never going to meet someone half as great as you are, while you’ll have the first pick of any guy in the village.” he said, punctuating his words with a loving kiss on her forehead.

Hinata didn’t say anything to that either. She just thought about what happened. She had gathered the self confidence and courage she had developed for the past four years and confessed her feelings to the boy she had a crush on ever since she was five. The one who she looked up to for never giving up. The one who inspired her to get stronger and not give up either. The one who she had stealthily stalked more times that she could count. That she never insulted, bad mouthed or hit and had worked hard to become strong for. Both physically and emotionally. The one who found her eyes and herself weird. The one who promised in front of everyone that he would beat her cousin for hurting her and broke said promise by losing a few minutes later. The one that had never looked her way or comforted her or cheered her up with the exception of her match against Neji. No, he did all of that for a girl who instead abused him and didn’t care about him or his feelings. Not for her who did. She wanted to curse Sakura at that moment but couldn’t or rather wouldn’t, because she realized she already had someone doing all that in her life.

‘Uzumaki Naruto may be a fool but so am I. I’ve known for a long time but my heart couldn’t let go so I denied it but now… Once, just this once, I want to feel loved. Sorry, Ino. it’s just this once.’

Hinata turned her head and looked up at Riku, the movement alerting him and making look down as a result. Throwing caution to the wind, Hinata kissed him on the lips. It was quick. Or was supposed to be. When she tried to back away, Riku’s hands held her in place and she had no choice but to keep going. When she felt his tongue seeking entrance between her lips, she naturally let it. He was gentle and slow yet passionate in how he treated hers. She almost melted at the sensation. His hand which was rubbing her lower back found itself under her jacket then her shirt then her ninja fishnet, directly touching her skin whose temperature began to rise. His other hand, which was placed on her left thigh to keep her in place, moved up toward her ass but never reached it. The sensation was overwhelming for Hinata and she let out a cute but lusty and needy moan in his mouth. The sound brought her back to reality and she suddenly pulled back more forcefully than her ‘first try’ from earlier.

Their faces were an inch away from each other and they could feel the other’s hot breath.

“I’m sorry.” she apologized, not daring to look him in the eyes.

“I remember warning you in this very place. Should Naruto be dumb to not ask you out, I would steal myself a moon princess and keep her forever.”

She did remember as he said it, never really having thought about that before. Her face, which was a bit flustered from the kiss, became beat red. The words themselves but also the soft tone, full of conviction and determination, made her realize that this time it wasn’t a joke. She felt the butterflies dancing in her stomach.

“W-what about I-Ino?”

“It’s complicated but…She’s my sun princess. And apparently, she is keeping me forever, no matter what. Who knows, maybe you will keepher forever?”

She blinked at that and began to think about his words when she felt his lips meeting her again. Reflexively, she moved forward to meet them more. It was a short kiss, his lips changing target quickly to the corner of her mouth then her jaw line then her neck. The spot right under her ear elicited a loud moan out of her. She almost verbally protested when he stopped but instead just vocally whined.

“Come on, we’ve having dinner at home. Ino is supposed to… visit me tonight. We’ll talk with her about everything.”

“I-I can’t! I went b-behind-”

“Shh.” he pecked her lips to make her stop talking. “We’re going back to my place, have a nice dinner with sensei and then a sleepover. Ino, you and me. This is non-negotiable.”

Before she could protest again he rose from the ground, still holding her in a princess carry and shushined back to Senju manor. He created two clones, once who left for parts that Hinata didn’t know about, another for the bathroom to probably draw a bath for Tsunade. They went to the kitchen, where Riku put her down on the counter and began to make a simple vegetable soup. She watched him working in silence, her heart sure of her feelings for him but her mind a mess.

She couldn’t understand how she could go from a broken heart and crying mess to kissing him in the span of one afternoon. She couldn’t understand either how the ache in her chest, while still there, didn’t hurt nearly as much and finally she couldn't understand why she did it when she knew that Ino was in love with him, how she could betray her best friend like that.

“I’m home!”

“Welcome home, sensei! In the kitchen, we have a guest!” he shouted back.

“Oh?”

Tsunade came into the room and noticed Hinata and her red eyes. On the spot she understood she’d been crying.

“Hinata! Good evening.” she greeted with a warm smile.

“Hokage-sama. Thank you for-” she tried to get down the kitchen counter but Riku didn’t let her.

“You stay there.” he said, embarrassing her and blushing as a result. Tsunade snickered at the sight.

“Thank you for having me out of the blue.”

“It’s fine, Hinata.”

“The bath is almost done, sensei. Dinner is in twenty minutes and we might have another guest.”

“Noted.” Tsunade nodded and left for the bathroom.

“Another guest?” Hinata asked, confused.

The doorbell chimed right at this moment and Riku made a kage bunshin to see who it was. Less than a minute later a very out of breath Ino came into the room and barrelled straight towards Hinata, taking her in a bear crushing hug. The poor bluenette loved the sentiment but less the sensation. She couldn’t breathe after all.

“Ino, she needs to breathe.” reminded her not-boyfriend.

Ino released her embrace a bit but didn’t let go of Hinata. She simply leaned back to have a good look at her.

“Want me to shatter his mind? Maybe that will fix his stupidity?” she suggested and that made Hinata giggle.

“I suggested putting a kunai and explosive tag where the sun doesn’t shine.”

“And you were denied! Like I deny you, Ino.”

“Fine! But a kunai and explosive tag sounds about right.”

“Ino!” Hinata exclaimed in a chastising tone.

“Alright, alright! I won’t do anything! But I’m pointing out that you’re no fun!”

“Why don’t you go have a girl talk in my room while I finish here? You’d be more comfortable.”

“That’s a great idea, baby!” She went to his side, turned his head to her and pulled him down for a heartfelt kiss, then slapped his ass, picked Hinata by the hand and dragged her out in one fell swoop.

He added the cut vegetables into the pot then added water. Using a low heat tag he let everything simmer and left for the bathroom. After knocking on the door and announcing himself he was invited to enter. He found Tsunade in the bathtub.

“I’m sorry for the impromptu guests, sensei. Hinata needed her friends and a safe environment.”

“It’s fine, what happened though?”

“After more than a decade of crushing on him, she confessed to Naruto and got turned down because he loves Sakura.”

“The fool. Sakura is a smart and skillful girl. Pretty too but she’s no Hinata.” she said, shaking her head at the stupidity of it.

“Do you mind if they sleep over?”

“Nah, love those girls.”

“Thank you, sensei.” he said and approached her to kiss her on the cheek before leaving.”

“Don’t forget to use protection! I’m well aware of what Ino and you do in your room. Can’t imagine what would happen with Hinata in the mix.” she teased but unfortunately for her, Riku was as thick skinned as she was.

“Sensei, if I didn’t use protection, the manor would have been blessed with black haired children more than three years ago.” he answered back and quickly left the bathroom.

Tsunade was confused for a moment when the lights went on in her mind. She gasped loudly at what she found out.

“SHIZUNE!” ‘I can’t believe her! Three, wait no- Four years?! No wonder he’s that good with his tongue! Oh, we’re going to have a talk, Shizune. You and I.’

Dinner was a nice affair with Hinata’s eyes not red from crying anymore. Ino shared that she intended to join T&I to work with her father and the bluenette that she was going to join the medic-program. That shocked everyone, because Hinata was a Hyuga. She revealed that she didn’t care what the elders said and if they had a problem with that or with her she’d just kick them down. At this point, only her father and Neji could defeat her. The elders may have been strong in their time but ever since they retired from the shinobi life they let themselves go, enjoying their privileges in the Hyuga compound. They weren’t fit to fight properly anymore but the thought never occurred to them. Too arrogant and entitled. She revealed that she had been speaking with her father about the situation of their clan and where it was going and after many examples and facts, Hiashi had agreed with her view. It hadn’t been that difficult, he had witnessed first hand the problem with the clan when Hizashi, his twin brother, had been branded with the cage bird seal in their youth, just because he was born a few minutes later than he was. As the Hyuga clan head he had to respect tradition and the elders had been too powerful yet to do any meaningful change but Hinata’s generation was different. Her known wishes to put an end to the Main and Side branch and unite the whole clan were known to everyone. The elders had tried everything to have her removed as an heiress but she had greatly shaped into a proper and strong kunoichi since she underwent Anko’s training that they couldn’t use the excuse that she was too weak or meek or many other things to make her look unfit. Slowly, but surely with Neji’s and Hinae’s help, more and more side branch members were secretly rallying to her.

Hearing that, Riku suggested that he may be able to remove the cage bird seal and create another one to protect the byakugan without enslaving any one. It was a long shot because this kind of sealing wasn’t his forte but he had Uzumaki Mito’s fuinjutsu scroll and may be able to make something. Hinata was anything but hopeful and thankful for his help.

When dinner was over, Tsunade retreated to her bedroom to sleep early and gave a teasing smirk to Riku who ignored her. Ino and Hinata retreated to the bathroom while Riku used a clone to clean the dishes. He, himself, went to his room and pulled out a futon for him to sleep on, as he doubted Hinata would want to have him sleep by hers and Ino’s side on the king size bed. Had it been Ino alone, she would have insisted on it. He picked a few of his shirts (T-shirts and v-neck) and boxer briefs and brought them to the bathroom.

“I brought you some changes of clothes. I’m sorry if the choice is limited but it’s all I have. I’m leaving them right behind the door.” he said after knocking.

“Okay, baby!” Ino shouted from the other side.

Riku left back to his room while ino quickly opened the door and took everything before closing it. She was sporting a towel around her torso that barely covered her ass. Hinata, who had her long hair styled in a bun, had to borrow one of Tsunade’s because of the size of her breasts. She would have been uncovered waist down otherwise.

“Let’s see what we’ve got.” the blonde said as she picked the clothes one by one “ Just what I thought about a guy’s wardrobe.” she commented.

“I don’t mind the shirt but… Doesn’t he have… proper… You know?” Hinata asked as she had a boxer brief in her hands.

“No. Riku sleeps naked. ‘More comfortable and less laundry to do.’ quote, unquote.”

“N-naked?”

“I prefer it that way to be honest, I love the feeling of his skin against mine. He’ll wear something for you though unless…” she began and an evil smirk (in Hinata’s eyes) drew on her lips. “You tell him you don’t want him to.”

“Ino!”

“What? He’s a real eye candy, Hinata! That way you won’t have to use the byakugan to take a peek.”

“INO!”

“Puh-lease, Hinata. As if you didn’t at least have a look.”

She did. Her blush proved it.

“T-t-that’s not. H-he’s your b-boyfriend! I already feel bad for k-kissing him, I don’t- HMM!”

She was forbidden to talk any further thanks to Ino grabbing her and kissing her right on the lips. Hinata’s initial shock went away when she felt her blonde friend's tip of the tongue touch hers. She pulled back then.

“I-Ino!”

“You kissed him, I kissed you. There, we’re even.”

“T-that’s not…”

“Come off of it Hinata. I told you I’m not mad you kissed him. He’s mine, yes. I know it both in my heart and in my guts but with his issues with me, we’re taking things lightly and slowly emotionally wise. As such I don’t really care if you’re kissing him or fucking him because at the end of it all, I’ll be the one growing old by his side.”

“You’re not… you don’t care if he sleeps with someone else?” Hinata asked in surprise.

“I do care. A bit. The knowledge that I’m not his only one hurts a bit but I know, Hinata. I know.” she said with conviction. “Though if it’s you, I wouldn’t mind sharing. You are my bestie.” Ino confessed and went behind Hinata to grab her firmly by her breasts after losing her towel. “But it’s only sharing Hinata.” she whispered in her ear. “You won’t get rid of me for having him all to yourself. I’ll be very very mad then.” she threatened and Hinata felt a chill run down her spine.

‘She’s not kidding!’ “I’ll never take him from you, Ino. I promise but what you want… I want it too. I… realized it as I thought about what Naruto was to me and what I was to him. What I wanted from him. All my wishes, Riku answered them all. I- I love him, Ino but I don’t want to fight you over him. I love you too much for that.”

“I don’t want to fight you either, Hinata. I love you too much too but I will if you force me.” replied the blonde while kneading the bluenette’s breasts. “Ours?”

“Ours.” Hinata nodded after thinking about it for a while. She never thought about wanting Riku all to herself (or Naruto for that matter) ; she just wanted to be with him. If sharing with Ino was the only way for that to happen without betraying, hurting and losing her friend? She was fine with it.

“Good. Now let me have a good look at those puppies!”

“Ino!”

“What? I’m not asking you if I can suck on them despite how much I want to!” She defended and pinched Hinata’s nipple that had hardened because of her breasts being roughly molested.

Hinata quickly escaped Ino’s lecherous paws and got into the bath, her face all red. Ino joined her but instead of sitting next to her, sat in her lap, rested her head on her pillowy chest while she took her hand and put them on her own.

“Not as big as yours, still, I’m proud of them.”

Hinata looked down at Ino’s boobs and had to agree with her statement. They were beautiful. A good C-cup for size but that was not what made them look great in her opinion. With Ino’s slim frame, her breasts looked a bit bigger on her. They had narrow roots but the bottom was very large. In consequence, they spilled to the side of her torso while leaving very little space between them. In comparison Hinata’s were round, full at the bottom and were hanging a bit lower than normal but not sagging. Ino’s nipples were not long but wide and thick and fit perfectly her 1 inch radius areolas. Hers were a bit puffy and a bit longer while her areolas were twice as big and bumpy.

“You should, they’re perfect. I’m a bit jealous. Mine are big but that’s it.”

“Non-sense! They’re great and delicious!” Saying that, Ino turned her head, grabbed Hinata’s left boob and took it in her mouth.

“IN- Aaaah”.

The devilish blonde had begun sucking on her nipple heavily while caressing it with her tongue which shut the bluenette up on the spot. She felt Hinata’s hand at the back of her head trying to pull her back at first then push it down when Ino lightly bit, letting out another moan. She didn’t do it for long and pulled back, she wasn’t done however and pulled down Hinata’s head for a short tongue twisting kiss.

“Y-youu… S-ss-!”

“Slut? Guilty as charged but only for you and Riku. Don’t play the innocent prude though. You loved it.” she replied and switched back to her original position, leaving Hinata speechless because she did love it.

Both girls stayed like that for a while enjoying the hot water and their intimacy. When they got out, dried themselves and dressed up, Ino chose a V-neck that showed a good deal of cleavage. Since the shirt was skin tight and with Ino’s boobs, a bit of her lower abdomen was visible. The problem was with Hinata. Her’s were so big that her navel was in view of everyone.

“Well… that’s quite the sight. Make me want to kiss your navel all over.”

“I-I look-”

“Gorgeous. I’m barely holding myself back to molest and eat you. If you wanted Riku’s dick tonight, that certainly will do the trick.”

“INO!”

“I’m just saying. Look at that ass too! Damn Hinata! Is there any part of your body that is not completely sinful?”

The boxer brief Hinata had put on was stretched to the limit because of her wide hips and big toned round ass.

“M-my ass? Look at yours! The fabric is digging deep into between your buttcheeks!”

“I know!” Ino exclaimed. She turned around and slapped her ass making it jiggle. “That’s why everytime I sleep here I steal his boxers. One swing of my hips with them on and he becomes completely nuts.”

“Girls are you done?”

“We are, baby!” replied Ino as she went to open the door but was stopped by a panicked Hinata.

“I can’t let him see me like this!” she whispered.

“Why?”

“B-because I’m indecent!”

“Hinata. It’s alright. Take a deep breath and soldier on. You want Riku? You’re going to work for it. And this…” she said, waving at Hinata up and down. “Is the way. Now take your courage with both hands and let’s go.”

She got away from Hinata’s grasp and opened the door. In a flash she was melting against him and raping his mouth with her tongue.

“Wow.” he said, a bit disoriented, then he saw Hinata inside the bathroom and his jaw dropped to the ground.

“See? I told you!” the blonde said to her bluenette friend.

“I might have some space in my stomach left for some navel.” commented Riku who had quickly recovered.

Had it been the Hinata before Anko, she would have fainted on the spot long ago. This one had confidence to spare and followed Ino’s advice and soldiered on. However she was so panicked, her reaction was unexpected. She rushed towards Riku and kissed him too for way longer than Ino did and when she broke it off, ran towards her room without looking back.

“What did you do?” he asked Ino not to look at her but at Hinata’s retreating back.

“I’ll tell you tomorrow.” the blonde answered and went after their friend.

Sighing, Riku entered the bathroom for a quick shower, knowing, just knowing that he was going to have a headache before they left tomorrow morning.
