I do not own Naruto.

"Hey, guys... this is Ino."

Those were the only words Hinata had to say to catch his attention. He looked over to the blonde and immediately he couldn't take his eyes off of her. her pale blonde hair shimmered in the light and all he wanted to do was run his fingers through her long golden locks. Her beautiful blue eyes reminded him of the sky on a sunny day. He felt the air get caught in his lungs, and it wasn't from the chokehold that Tobirama currently had him in either. He broke free from said choke hold and made his way over to her and held out a hand.

"Be wary of that one, he's a pervert." Madara said and instantly he deflated as the beautiful woman retracted the hand that she had held out to him. He looked over to his brother and cursed his very existence in that moment, which Madara only offered him a smirk. Izuna sighed and retracted his own hand and crammed it in his pocket as he continued to try and act like her immediate dismissal of him didn't affect him. He looked over to her once more out of the corner of his eyes, only to see she had been watching him as well. He opened his mouth to speak but Tobirama walked over to her and offered her a hand, to which she took with a soft blush coating her cheeks.

He huffed and crossed his arms over his chest as he made his way over to Hinata, who was smiling at him and opened her arms to him, to which he accepted her embrace instantly. "She's nice Izuna, just give her a chance." She said and he nodded. He would be more than happy to give her a chance if he could get Madara to stay out of the way long enough to. "Madara killed that chance I believe." He said and Hinata stared at him oddly, but she followed his gaze back to the beautiful blonde and her eyes lit up. She walked over to Madara who had been chatting with Ino, he could tell they had been discussing his future sister-in-law.

He watched as she pulled him off to the side and whispered something in his ear, no doubt something about him seeing as Madara looked over to him and smirked. He watched as Madara patted Ino on the shoulder and said something about joking about him being a pervert and that she should talk to him. He rolled his eyes at his brother as he escorted the blonde over to him. She offered him a small smile and blushed as he smiled at her. He quirked a brow at this, was she shy as well?

"Ino." She said as she offered him her hand once more. In an effort to not look like he was excited to touch her hand, he slowly raised his and grabbed hers gently. "Izuna." He greeted and she smiled at him, her smile caused his heart to flutter in his chest. What was this feeling? Was he nervous? He never got nervous around women. "It's nice to finally meet you," he began and she blinked at him in confusion. "Hinata talked about you a lot, she says you're her best friend." He said and she grinned at him and nodded.

"Yeah, Hinata and I grew up together." She said and he repressed the urge to sigh, seeing as he couldn't think of anything to talk to her about with her. he wanted to desperately to think of something, anything to talk about with her just to keep the beautiful woman near him. He opened his mouth to speak, only for her to lean closer to him and grin. "Do you think they're gonna get married?" she asked pointing between his brother and Hinata, which made him smile.

"Yeah, I have no doubt about that." He said and she quite literally jumped up and down in her joy. He had to admit seeing her so excited was cute. "I've been rooting for them to get together since I saw them together in our time." She said and he looked at her in confusion. "Of course, he was kinda psycho, but like I saw the way he looked at her when she first ran up on him. He was in loveeee~" she said in a sing song voice and he chuckled at her, which made her blush once more. She began circling him and he blinked in confusion as she took hold of his ponytail and ran her fingers through it.

The woman was odd, there was no lie about that. He could have sworn she was also a little ADHD as well, but he still found her enthralling. She began running her fingers through his hair once more and he looked at her oddly as she did so with a small smile. "Sorry, your hair is so soft... I just looked soft too, unlike your brothers." She said and released his hair. "I take very good care of it, thank you for noticing." He mused and she smiled at him and whipped her ponytail towards him. "As do I." she said and his breath hitched as he smelled the alluring scent of flowers wash over him.

He was caught in a daze when she grabbed his hand and pulled her behind him towards the group who had started walking off. "Come on slowpoke, if you move any slower I will get left behind." She said and he blinked to snap himself out of his daze and nodded. "Yeah... sure..." he said and took off after the group who had gone ahead. As he ran beside her, he couldn't help but watch her. She was beautiful, more so than any woman he had ever seen. Now don't get him wrong, he thought Hinata was beautiful too, but she was completely off limits now.

:-:-:

Ino looked back at him and blushed lightly. Hinata hadn't been lying when she said the brothers were both attractive. It hadn't bothered her when Madara had called Izuna a pervert, she had just expected him to immediately flirt with her and he hadn't, which caught her off guard. She looked back toward Hinata, who was looking back at her and she motioned that the two of them were gonna have a chat, to which Hinata smiled. She couldn't believe the audacity of that girl, holding out on her like this.

She sighed and looked back at Izuna, only to feel embarrassment creeping up as she realized he was staring at her backside his hand reaching out as if he were going to touch her. She spun and cracked him over the head with a fist, a heavy blush coating her cheeks as she turned away and crossed her arms over her chest with a huff. "Filthy pervert." She snapped and he only chuckled lightly as he rubbed his head. As much as it annoyed her that he was fixated on her ass, at least it gave her the hint that the attraction could possibly be mutual.

She rolled her eyes as Madara smirked at her while Hinata swatted him. Tobirama and Hashirama just stared at her in slight fear, seemingly not expecting her to hit Izuna. "As long as you two aren't filthy perverts I won't hit you." She grumbled and Izuna tapped her on the shoulder, only for her to blush as he held up a leaf. "It was in your hair..." he said as he rubbed the top of his head, one eye squeezed shut in pain. "I primise I don't touch anyone without their permission." He sighed as he continued to rub his head and she suddenly felt guilt rising up in the pit of her stomach.

"Izuna... I-" she began but he waved her off gently. "It's fine I promise." He said and she frowned as she trailed behind him. Her shoulders slumped slightly and she wondered if she had really hurt him when she hit him. She hadn't meant to if she had, she was only startled by him reaching for him. She tapped him on the shoulder and he slowly turned to look towards her. He seemed to be expecting another hit by the way he flinched as he turned. Her hands glowed green and she placed her hand on his forehead and tried her best to ease his pain. He stopped rubbing his scalp and smiled at her.

"Thank you... I'm sorry if I startled you." He said and she offered him a small smile. "I'm sorry for hitting you." She said and he waved her off once more. "Wouldn't be the first time someone has hit me and won't be the last time either." He mused as he trailed beside her. she couldn't help but watch him as he walked beside her. he looked like a long-haired Sasuke, but that wasn't what had attracted her to him. It was his eyes; they were so kind and yet mysterious all the same. She couldn't quite describe it, but as he locked eyes with her, her heart fluttered.

She knew she had an unhealthy attraction to the Uchiha males, but she couldn't help it... the Uchiha men were walking gods. Not that she would tell them that because she also knew they had deity sized egos as well and she wasn't sure if she wanted to stroke this one's ego just yet. A smirk crossed her lips. Perhaps she could catch him off guard and flirt with him later to see what he would do. She followed Hinata into the Uchiha compound, where a beautiful woman sat on the front steps of their home and rushed to hug Izuna, only to catch sight of her immediately.

"Beautiful!" the woman whispered as she brushed the fringe of blonde hair out of her face. She looked over to Izuna and deadpanned at him. "Maybe there's hope for you yet." She said as she looked back to Ino, who now held a dark blush on her cheeks. "Don't worry dear, my sons are beasts but the rest of the family isn't that bad." The woman reassured her and she couldn't help the laugh that escaped her at this. Hinata looked back at her only to smile and motion for her to follow her.

They separated off from the guys and made their way to Hinata's room, where they sat across from each other in the floor. "So, Izuna huh?" Hinata asked, her voice filled with amusement. Ino rolled her eyes and waved a hand at the dark haired girl. "You tried to keep them all to yourself and I just can't let that happen." She said with a wink and Hinata smiled softly. "He is a pervert, but he is a kind person too." Hinata said as she opened a bottle of sake and set it in front of her. Ino blinked in confusion and Hinata laughed lightly. Ino smiled at her friend, the woman had changed so much but she was still the same in some ways.

Ino grabbed the bottle and took a sip only to hand it back to Hinata who also took a sip. "So, what are we drinking for?" she asked and Hinata sighed as she took another sip. "To celebrate our friendship and securing peace for the future." Hinata said as she set two cups in front of her and filled them up delicately. She set two more cups out after a couple of rounds just between them and Ino stared at her oddly. Hinata only smiled upon seeing her friend's confusion. "You'll see." Was all she had to say, because not even a few minutes later the brothers knocked on Hinata's door.

Ino blushed as Izuna came in first and sat next to her. There was no reason she should be so pleased to see a man she had only met today, but she supposed this was what love at first sight was supposed to be like, because she wanted to be with this man and she barely knew him. It was irrational and bound to end badly, but she was going to shoot her shot even if it embarrassed her. she patted the floor beside her and Izuna sat there and took his cup of sake and sipped it lightly.

Ino glanced over at Madara and Hinata and she was slightly envious of the bond those two had, she could see the love practically radiating off of them. She was thrilled her best friend had fallen in love with someone who would take good care of her though. Izuna's fingers accidentally bumped hers and she blushed, thankful the alcohol had started to settle in and flush her cheeks anyways it went unnoticed by the man who apologized softly. She glanced over at him out of the corner of her eye and he flushed lightly at having been caught staring at her.

She only offered him a small smile at having caught him, to which he offered a small smile back. She bumped his fingers with her fingertips and he looked at her oddly before his fingers entwined with hers, if only just at the fingertips. She swiftly downed her cup and motioned for Hinata to fill it back up, to which Izuna did the same. She smirked at him and downed yet another cup, to which he followed suit. A smirk found its way to his lips and she laughed lightly.

"Are you issuing a challenge?" he asked and she tossed him a flirtatious glance. "Only if you are." She said in a sultry tone and he grinned at her. "Challenge accepted, Miss Ino." He said and she laughed as they continued downing glass after glass of sake. She had even stopped for a moment to allow him to get caught up to the same amount of cups. Which was only fair, seeing as he had come in later and she had already almost downed a bottle of sake herself. She looked over to Hinata and Madara, who seemed amused with their little back and forth game at the beginning, but it seemed after six bottles and an hour later the two of them seemed to be ready to sleep. She slowly stood and grabbed Izuna's hand, who stared at her oddly.

"Izuna-kun, it's time for Hinata-chan to rest..." she began and he looked over to his brother and Hinata, who barely seemed to be holding onto consciousness at this point. He grabbed her hand and she smiled as she stumbled backwards lightly. He chuckled as he stumbled towards her, but not before he grabbed the remaining bottle of sake. When they got out into the hall, she began shushing him loudly. "Shhh, everyone else is sleeping." She giggled as she thumped into a wall, making him stifle a laugh.

She looked over at him and with the most flirtatious stance she could muster in her state, she made a proposal to him. "You can show me to my bedroom~" she whispered and licked her lips as a smirk crossed his lips and he rushed after her down the hall. The moment they made it to her designated room, she pressed him up against the wall, surprising him completely. Her gentle fingers walked up his chest and she leaned closer to him as she did so. "You... are so damn attractive..." she sighed wistfully and he smirked as he allowed her to continue her drunken exploration of his chest.

Although her exploration was soon halted as he swapped positions with her and pressed her against the wall, capturing her lips in an excited kiss. Her eyes slipped shut as she melded into him and allowed him free roam of her mouth, her tongue intwining with his in a battle of wills. Her fingers trailed up his arms and over his shoulders, only to find themselves in his hair ever so gently. After a few minutes of nothing but kisses shared between the two, they separated for air and he just stared down at her as he brushed the fringe of hair out of her face and grinned drunkenly.

"You are a goddess." He said and she blushed darkly. He leaned down once more and placed his lips against hers once more and she fully prepared to throw herself at this man. He was just... intoxicating to her. It seemed she was the same kind of intoxicating to her because as he pulled away he buried his face in her neck and inhaled deeply. When he finally leaned back his hands had found their way to her cheeks and he smiled at her softly.

"I can't do this..." he began and she blinked at him. "You're so beautiful... and you deserve so much better." He whispered as his thumb trailed over her lower lip, which had tugged into a frown. Was he rejecting her tonight? Or was he saying he didn't want to be with her ever? "You deserve better than this... I can't sleep with you tonight, Miss Ino... not while I'm drunk and stupid..." he sighed before he pressed his lips to hers once more. Internally she was relieved, seeing as she thought he meant never.

When he pulled away from her once more, he stepped back away from her and motioned for her to follow him. She followed him over to the bed and he pulled back the covers for her to get in. she climbed in and he covered her back up. Before he could leave, she grabbed him by the hand and pulled him down onto the bed with a smile. She pulled him down into yet another passionate kiss and he sighed when they broke apart once more. "Just because you wont have sex with me tonight doesn't mean you cant share my bed." She whispered as she pulled the blanket back.

He blinked at her with bleary eyes before he shrugged and hopped into the bed with her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she scooted back to where she was fully pressed to him. His warmth was all encompassing and she relished in the idea of this man sharing her bed. She smirked as she wiggled her hips, rubbing herself against him. A tight grip on her hip stopped all movement and a chuckle in her ear made her blush. "Any more funny business and you'll be sleeping alone." He threatened and she nodded. The tone of the threat was playful, but it still sent excited goosebumps down her body.

She allowed him to get comfortable once more and she slipped her eyes shut and attempted to drift off into a sake induced slumber, but he moved a bit and he leaned around her only to press a sloppy kiss to the side of her lips, which made her giggle. He was so cute she couldn't stand it. She snuggled more into his embrace and smiled as she drifted off to sleep. She couldn't wait to see what the future would hold with this man.

:-:-:-:-:

Hinata smiled as she peeked into the room to see that Ino and Izuna were wrapped in one another's embrace. "They're still fully clothed, what a shocker." Madara mused and she swatted him playfully. He grinned at her and she shook her head. "Hey look, you saw the way they had been staring at each other with those 'Let's make babies' eyes. I was surprised that they didn't, is all." He said and she swatted his shoulder gently once more.

"If you look at them now, they're so cute..." she whispered and he peered in the room once more, only to smile at the fact the two of them were facing one another and were wrapped in the others arms. Aurora pressed herself between them to look and she smiled in delight. "Aww... look at them they're so cute!" she squealed softly and Hinata offered a small smile to the woman. She just seemed to be thrilled at the possibility that both of her sons were going to be happy now instead of just one.

"You know we can hear you right?" Izuna's grumpy voice came from muffled in Ino's hair, to which Hinata blushed and backed away from the door. "Yeah... you guys aren't quiet and we are dealing with hangovers." Ino grumbled and Hinata laughed lightly as she urged the group away from the doorway. Before she left though, she smiled upon overhearing the two of them conversing back and forth in the bed. "Izuna, my head hurts... can you kiss it better?" Ino asked and he sighed, only for a soft smooching sound to be heard.

"Ino... I barely have the energy and will to live and yet you want me to kiss you?" he sighed and Hinata repressed a giggle as she continued to listen to them. She was happy that they had bonded so easily. "Hinata go away and stop eavesdropping... I just want kisses and cuddles today..." Ino whined loudly, causing a string of curses to escape the both of them at her loudness. Hinata giggled once more before she pulled the door completely shut and made her way back to Madara who was waiting for her.
