Naruto: Winds and Changes

Yugito blinked before she recognized who was in the doorway. She noticed his eyes wandering her body and looked down to see she that her robe did little to hide her figure, yet to Naruto's surprise she just smiled and gestured for him to come in. "Not at all Naruto-kun, why don't you come on in. I was just about to make some tea."

Naruto-kun? The spiky haired blond asked himself in confusion, Didn't I like just meet her in the exams? Hell I don't even think I've spoken with her except that one time during the first test… Shaking the thought off the spiky haired blond walked into the hotel room and took a look around.

It was a standard two bed room living space, with a kitchen/living room combo and a single door leading to the bedroom. It was fairly bland but Naruto did not expect it to really have any kinds of home furnishings, since she did not really live there.

"Why don't you go sit on the couch while I finished getting dressed and make us some tea?" Yugito suggested, not at all bothered by the fact that she was in nothing more than a robe.

A robe that does so little to hide her figure…Naruto gulped as he responded with, "Y-yeah, ok."

He walked further into the apartment and sat down on the leather sofa while Yugito left to get dressed. He closed his eyes for a while and attempted to work on some breathing exercises while he waited, in the hopes that it would help keep away his hormone induced thoughts.

"Here you go."

Naruto opened his eyes several minutes later to see Yugito wearing a pair of loose fitting pants and a shirt, holding a cup of hot tea out to him with a small smile. He gave her a smile in return as he accepted the drink, "Thank you." He took a sip of the tea, knowing that even if it was poisoned it wouldn't work on him.

"So how are you feeling?" Yugito asked as she sat down on the sofa next to him, surprising Naruto when she sat close enough that their arms were lightly touching. "You were pretty injured from your battle with Gaara."

Naruto grinned as he set the cup down, "It will take far more then something like that to bring me down!" He paused for a moment and grimaced, "Though I really hope I don't lose an arm like that again…" He paused when he heard Yugito giggle, "I heard you visited me in the hospital."

Yugito blushed a tad but nodded, "Hai, I did. After seeing your battle I wanted to make sure you were alright, especially after you helped my friend Ayako after her battle. Had you not, that Hyuga Genin would have probably killed her."

"There's no need to thank me for something like that," Naruto gave an off handed shrug. "I could never really stand Neji, or his attitude, or those ten foot metal poles he has shoved up his ass." He grinned when Yugito let out a soft giggle, "And seeing him willing to go so far to injure another person in what should be a friendly competition really set me off. I could never stand people who were willing to hold some kind of prejudice against others just because they come from another village, even if it's one that we had been enemies with at one point."

Yugito smiled at him, "Well I thank you all the same. You strike me as a very kind person."

"I guess…" Naruto shrugged, he had never really thought himself as kind. He just did what he thought was right. He looked at her for a moment, "So was that the only reason you visited me? Because I helped your friend?"

Yugito shook her head as her smile widened, "Not at all. Actually I wanted to get to know you better, especially after seeing your fight with Gaara."

Naruto blinked for a few seconds as he processed what she was saying, "You want to get to know me?" At her nod he said, "I don't think you'll find anything very interesting about me. And I've never been that good with people."

"That wasn't the first impression I got of you," Yugito gave him an amused grin. "Not many people I know are willing to make an enemy out of everyone by threatening to beat them up in the first stage of such an important exam. Nor would they so blatantly insult one of said exam's proctors."

"Hehehe," Naruto scratched the back of his head as he grinned, "I suppose that's true. But…"

Yugito shook her head, "You know, despite that over confident attitude of yours, you're actually very modest. I can tell just from your battle with Gaara that you're fairly strong, especially for your age. Not only that but you're a very kind person, not many people would protect a complete stranger from another village like you did just because it's the right thing to do. Plus the fact that you're a Jinchuuriki makes you even more interesting. I think it's only natural that I want to get to know you better."
