The Truth is Known
Naruto was sitting on his swing watching a sight he had hoped never to see. Ino was
sitting happily
with Shikamrau Nara the genius from her team ten. Hinata was sitting with Kiba the
dog boy from her
team eight and Sakura... his lovely Sakura was sitting with Rock Lee the chunin from
Gai-sensei's team.
Naruto noticed that there was no hand holding or other outward signs of affection, it
was just that they
were with someone and he wasn't. Naruto watched for a while and then slowly walked
out of the courtyard
of the temple. He didn't notice the pair of pale eyes that sadly watched him walk away.
Naruto headed out
to his favorite place by the stream outside of the village. He was sitting under a tree
trying to think of
nothing when he heard a familiar voice. "Hello fox-demon," Kanio said. The Wolf demon
bearer from the
Village Hidden in the Snow was standing a few feet away with his sister Kianna. "Hi
Kanio what are you
doing in Konoha?" The blonde ninja asked. He was a friend with the demon bearer; it
must have been
the fact that he understood what it was like since Naruto held Kyuubi the nine-tailed fox
demon inside of
himself. "We have come to deliver messages from our Hokage to yours." Kanio said.
Kianna noticed that
the young Chunin was upset. She was a brash and outspoken person somewhat like
Naruto but her heart
was good. She liked the young nin and wondered why he was so sad. "Kanio you go
and deliver the
messages, I want to talk to Naruto for a while. Go to the inn and I'll meet you there later."
Kanio shrugged
and walked off, what his sister did was her own business. Besides he liked and trusted
Naruto. Kianna
watched until her brother was out of sight, she then sat down next to Naruto. "Sakura
still ignoring you?"
she asked, with the softest voice Naruto had ever heard her use. He nodded and
choked back a sob.
"All the girls I know and care about are seeing others. They don't even know I exist
except to annoy them.
I'm strongest nin in the Village Hidden in the Leaves but I still can't get anyone to
respect me. I GIVE UP."
He shouted. "Do they know about your strength and abilities?" Kianna asked sweetly.
"No... I don't like to
show off THAT much. Plus I'm afraid the other nin's would really hate me if they knew
what my abilities
are." He said. Kianna turned to Naruto and pressed her lips to his. The blonde man was
surprised but her
lips were so warm and soft he found himself kissing her back. They melted together
and ended up lying
on the ground. Kianna was on top of Naruto as they kissed. The blonde snow village nin
was breathless
from excitement as they broke the kiss. "By the ancestors Naru-kun, you're marvelous."
She gasped.
"Have you ever kissed Sakura?" she asked. Naruto shook his head. "It's not that I
haven't tried I have the
scars to prove it too." He said. "That girl is an idiot, she's passing you up for what?"
Kianna said. "Uh...
Kianna-chan, did you just call me Naru-kun?" the young man asked. Kianna blushed
slightly and nodded
"yes". Naruto pulled her back down to him and kissed her again with even more feeling.
He teased her
lips and slid his tongue into her willing mouth. They wrestled for dominance Kianna
finally let him have
his way with her. She was trembling hard when they parted and caught their breath.
"Naru-kun, I'll stay
with you while I'm here if you'd like." The young woman whispered. Naruto nodded, he
was very fond of
Kianna and his affection for her was growing more as they kissed. Night was rapidly
approaching; they
stood and headed into the village hand in hand. "Is there anyone besides Sakura that
you like?" Kianna
asked as they walked. "You mean other than you?" Naruto teased. Kianna giggled and
kissed him again.
"Well there are two others that I'm very fond of. One is Yamanaka Ino, the other is
Hyuuga Hinata." Naruto
said. Kianna looked at the young nin with a curious expression. "The princess of the
Hyuuga clan, at least
you have ambition." Kianna said smirking. "I have to admit that Hinata-chan has been
the nicest to me.
She always has a kind word and a smile." Naruto said as his mind brought a picture of
her pretty face into
view. "Sounds to me that even though you've chased Sakura the hardest, you like
Hinata the best. I think
I'm going to be jealous?" Kianna said with a wink. Naruto pulled her into a hug.
"Thanks Kianna-chan
you really have made me feel better. Listen could I buy you dinner for being so nice?"
Naruto asked.
Kianna smiled and nodded, the truth was she wanted to be with Naruto badly. He made
her feel so
special, the sand nin couldn't understand why the girls of his own village didn't see
what a treasure he
was. She even thought what it would be like to move to Konoha and be with him all the
time. If the women
here didn't want him she sure as hell did. As they approached the ramen stand Naruto
spotted all three
girls there with the same men they had been with earlier. "Well speak of the three
she-devils, there they
are." Naruto said sadly. Kianna grabbed the young man. "Hey Naru-kun you want to see
how they really
feel about you?" she asked. "I'm not sure I want to know." He said a little scared.
"Oh come on if even one
of them truly likes you it'll be worth it." The blonde woman said. "Yes but Kianna-chan
what if they don't?"
he asked. "Then you will always have me," she whispered. Naruto turned slowly to the
beautiful young
woman. "What are you telling me Kianna-chan?" he asked. "I love you Naruto. I would
leave everything
I have to be with you. If you asked me too." Naruto pulled the woman close and kissed
her deeply.
"I love you too Kianna-chan but right now I couldn't ask you to leave your family and
friends. I've nothing
to offer, but I promise you this. If I don't find anyone here after a serious attempt, I will
send for you."
"You could send for me even if you do find someone here, I would be content to just be
your lover."
Kianna thought as she held the man. "Lets stir the pot Naru-kun, no matter what I say
just go along
with it. Sometimes women take men for granted. The minute they see a man with
another woman, he
becomes more desirable. Let's see what happens." Naruto and Kianna walked in hand
in hand. He
helped her onto a stool and ordered ramen for the two of them. Kianna sat close and
rested her head
on Naruto's shoulder. It looked to everyone there that they were very much in love.
In the mind of the
blonde snow nin, they would be right. Hinata, sat at the ramen stand, Kiba was bored.
Hinata had insisted
on going there for dinner. What he didn't know was Hinata was hoping to see Naruto.
She had watched
him walk out of the courtyard earlier. He was so sad; she was ready to follow him. Kiba
had noticed her
attention and had gotten jealous, he found an excuse for her to stay but she was very
upset with him.
"What the hell does she see in that loser?" Kiba fumed he watched her follow Naruto
with her eyes as he
left the courtyard. "Sure he beat me in the trials but I was distracted. I can take him
anytime I want to.
Doesn't Hinata see how much better I am than Naruto? She should be with me and
I'm going to make
sure she is." He told himself. Naruto and Kianna walked in obviously enjoying each
other's company.
Hinata watched with narrowed eyes. She had met Kianna before and even liked her,
as long as she
wasn't with Naruto. "Why is Kianna with Naru-kun? I should have followed him earlier.
Damn Kiba and
his possessiveness. I should never have agreed to spend the day with him. It will
definitely be the last
time. Oh Kiba, if I've lost Naru-kun because of you. You'll regret the day your parents
met." The lavender
haired princess silently raged.Sakura and Ino noticed Naruto enter the ramen stand
also. They saw
Kianna with him; they glanced at each other with shocked looks on their faces. Sakura
tuned out whatever
Rock Lee was saying as she stared with extreme interest at the blonde couple. "What
is Kianna doing
with Naruto? He belongs here in this village... God she's really hanging on him... NO...
She couldn't be in
love with Naruto... What if she is? I don't want Naruto to go... he'll break up the team...
he'll leave... I'll
never see him again... Naru-kun don't leave." Sakura screamed to herself. "WAIT did I
just call him
Naru-kun? I didn't mean it... I can't love him. But why am I so scared of him leaving?
Why am I jealous of
Kianna sitting with him? After all I'm with Rock Lee and... Oh my god... That's why he
was so sad this
morning. I was with Lee and Hinata was sitting with Kiba. He must think there's no one
in the village that
cares about him. I'm such an idiot at times." Sakura said her eyes boring holes into the
back of Kianna's
head. "There's no way in hell she's going to get Naru-kun if anyone gets him it'll be me."
She said. After
they finished eating, Kianna asked Naruto to step to the nearest store and buy a few
things for her. It was
a ruse to give her a chance to talk to the three women. "Hi Sakura," Kianna said as she
walked over. "Is
this your new boyfriend?" she asked happily. "NO, this is not my boyfriend. I was just
hanging out with
him today, and that is so over anyway." Sakura said scowling at Lee. Lee turned away
and sulked.
Kianna acted as if she hadn't heard the outburst or the tone of the pink haired woman's
voice. "I sure do
love coming to Konoha. I get to spend a couple of wonderful days with Naru-kun; the
nights are fun too.
But you already would know that, as long as you've known him." Kianna said. "You girls
here are soooo
lucky having him right here with you. I've traveled to all five hidden villages for my
Hokage. There is no
one that comes close to him in any of them. That's why I always volunteer to come
here. I'm surprised I
don't have to beat up a girlfriend, but that makes it so much easier to spend time with
him." The blonde
snow nin said."What's so special about Naruto?" Ino asked from the next table. Kianna
looked at her with
genuine surprise in her eyes. "What's so special? My god are you joking? He's the
hottest thing in five
territories. He kisses like a pro and his other skills are to die for." Kianna said. "Wait...
you're teasing me
Ino... Oh I get it... you're just checking to see if I really know... Okay I get it. Well trust
me if he wasn't the
best lover I've ever had, I wouldn't come to this village as often as I do." Ino was
shocked by the answer.
She had never considered Naruto a babe magnet let alone a first class lover. Of course
she hadn't even
said ten nice words to him in years either. Hinata had been listening intently from
another table. Kiba
was getting more upset. He said he wanted to go. Hinata shook her head. "Look
Hinata I want to go are
you coming with me or not?" Kiba growled. The Hyuga princess turned slowly to face
him there was
anger in her pale eyes that Kiba had never seen before. "Kiba don't ever use that tone
of voice with me
again. If you do I'll kick your ass from here to the village of the waves. I am the
princess and heir of the
Hyuga clan. I will not be addressed in that manner by anyone, DO YOU HEAR ME
KIBA?" she yelled.
"As far as leaving, yes you should and forget ever hanging out with me again. I'm not
your property so
get the hell out of here and I do mean now." She snarled at her teammate.Kiba looked
at the others who
had noticed the young woman's anger. He bowed quickly and scurried off. Sakura
looked at Kianna;
"Wow I've NEVER heard her speak like that to anyone." She said. Ino nodded her
head; she too was in
shock by her friend's outburst. Ino crossed to the woman leaving Shikamrau sitting
by himself. The
young Nara genius shook his head, "how troublesome." He said.
"Are you okay princess?" Ino asked
softly. "No I'm not Ino-chan," Hinata said a moan slipping out as she spoke. "I've had
a revelation that
is making me feel very bad. I've always prided myself on being a good person. I just
realized I'm a royal
bitch. I intend on fixing that problem immediately... if I still can." The woman said sadly.
Kianna looked at
Sakura who was as shocked as Ino by the young woman's words. "Look Sakura I know
YOU understand.
After all you've been the closest too him for years. He speaks of you all the time.
I know he loves you
dearly. If he would ask me to be one of his wives, I'd leave everything I have in the
snow village and come
here just for him." Kianna was telling the truth with the last comment and all three
women could tell.
Hinata trembled in fear, she hoped she at least had one more chance to tell Naruto how she felt. The
princess smiled, "even if I can't be his first choice, I'll be very happy to be with him
as one of his wives.
After all he is allowed to marry as many as he wishes and can support by our laws
and custom's." She
said to herself. Sakura stared at the floor; her heart racing and her mind a jumble
from what she had just
learned. "Could I have been so wrong all of these years?" she asked herself. Ino
was stunned; she didn't
know what to think. "I have to talk to Sakura, she'll know what to do." She told
herself.Naruto returned and
Kianna happily bounded over to him she kissed him and waving goodbye
to her friends told Naruto to
take her home. "Oh and Naru-kun, we have all night I don't want to waste a moment,"
she purred. Sakura
and Hinata both almost jumped from their tables at the snow nin's last remark.
Hinata stood and with a
rushed excuse left trailing the couple. Sakura looked at Ino,
"Wow the princess is pissed," Sakura said.
"Well of course she is." Shikamrau said. She's been in love with Naruto for years.
She just has never
said anything. Naruto feels as if she's a best friend and I believe he's afraid to tell her
how much he cares
for her too. He's afraid of losing the only female friend he has in the entire village.
"Sakura glared at the
Nara genius. "What do mean the only female freind he has? I'm his friend and his
teammate." Sakura
snapped. "Yes you are, but everytime he's even tried to tell you all he's gotten is
another beating... or
worse. I remember him spending an entire morning picking wild flowers for you
Sakura. He gave them to
you... you looked at them... then snarled at him because he wasn't Sasuke, you just
laughed and tossed
them away. He smiled and said no problem. You walked off, so did he. I followed
because I cared and
was worried. He went to his place by the stream and cried for hours before he
could finally go home to
his dingy little room. The next day he was smiling because he didn't want YOU to feel
bad. I'm glad he's
in love with Kianna, she's a lot better than the bitches we raise in this village."
Shikamrau was shaking
with fury as he finished speaking. The young man looked hard at both women, he
wanted them to know
how disgusted he was with the two of them. He turned on his heel and walked off
leaving Ino and Sakura
open mouthed watching him go.Sakura collapsed onto a stool, "He's right, I've been
a complete bitch to
him," she said. Tears flowed down her cheeks. "I was his best friend for years,
we we're inseparable.
Then I began obsessing about Sasuke's pretty face and empty head. Just when he
needed the emotional
support I abandoned him. He's still tried to be there for me. I owe my life to him so
many times over I've
lost count. I still treat him like shit. God Ino I'm a fucking bitch." Sakura said her
sorrow filling her voice.Ino
tried to comfort her friend; She was lost in her own thoughts. The blonde Leaf nin
was remembering the
blonde boy who walked her home from the forest after she had broken her arm.
He half carried her for
miles to the clinic. They had to forcefully remove him because he wanted to make
sure she was all right.
Afterwards he sat with her until her parents came to get her. He visited her everyday
after class and
would sit with her for hours so she wouldn't miss being with her friends. There
were no tears in Ino's eyes
but her heart was breaking as she realized how badly she had treated her longtime
freind. "Kianna what
did you mean take me home?" Naruto asked. Once they were out of sight of the
ramen stand. "I have a
dirty little room that I would be embarrassed for you to see." He said with a shy voice.
"I don't care what it
looks like," She said enticingly. "It was a way to make the others think about what
you and I were going to
do tonight." "Oh," Naruto said. "Uh... Kianna... what ARE we going to do tonight?"
He asked. Kianna
smiled and kissed him. "Let's just say I won't be looking at your room." The blonde
woman said as she
pulled him into a long loving kiss. A blazing pair of pale eyes watched the tender scene.
"I'll not lose to
her, I can't lose to her. I like Kianna but dammit, Naruto's mine." Hinata said with
determination. "Go
ahead Kianna, You deserve him tonight. I screwed up, you did nothing wrong, but
the next time you
come to our village you won't be the only one that warms Naruto's bed.
There will be someone else
already there. If you want to be with him then earn him, but be advised I will be
his number one."
