Silver and Gold

“Umm…my dad, my sister, and Neji-kun are a few of the people in my clan who know. Tenten-san also knows since she’s around so often. S-Sakura-san probably knows since she has access to everyone’s health record at the hospital,” Hinata said, blushing slightly, “...and my team knows too.”

“Huh?! How did your team find out?” he asked.

“W-well…” Hinata said, stuttering, her blush intensifying, “it was the day of the Chuunin Exam semi-finals. You came to see me, r-remember?”

Naruto nodded, recalling the inspiring words Hinata had shared with him.

“When you said that you liked girls like me, I was so happy. I couldn’t get you off of my mind…s-so I…” Unable to finish her sentence, Hinata motioned her hand up-and-down, averting her eyes from the blonde.

Naruto felt his own cheeks grow hot. She got off just from me complementing her? Man…she really had it bad for me… “So they saw you?”

“S-sensei did… She came to make sure I was alright and…she said it was natural for someone my age to…” Hinata, if possible, became even redder. “She said she wouldn’t tell anyone since she had her own childhood secrets…”

Probably not as big as this, Naruto thought, before realizing that he was still staring at Hinata’s erection. “S-so how did Kiba and Shino find out?” he asked, forcing his gaze to meet hers.

“Shino-kun placed one of his kekkai bugs on each of us during the Forest of Death exercise to communicate with us. He collected it off of me after the exams were over. Since he can communicate with it, it probably told him about…” Hinata’s voice trailed off uncomfortably. “He never said anything about it though…”

“So how are you sure he knows?”

“Kiba did say something,” Hinata mumbled, her head drooping slightly, “He could smell…it…on me. He thought that someone had attacked me while I was by myself…and then he realized that the only scent on me was…my own.”
