-1Alright, to those who are new to the story, check out the 4th chapter of my other story, Like Mother, Like Daughter to get the scoop on what happened. To those who are not new, you should know what happened. Anyway, continuing from where LM,LD left off, here is my new story: Like Mother, Like Daughter, The Prequel.

Previously,

“SAKURA!” she screamed as her juices started pouring out. Her legs shot up, held by invisible strings that sent electricity throughout her entire body. She had never felt such pleasure, such bliss. She masturbated, just like all the other girls her age, but this was definitely something else. Her legs came down and hung limply at her side. She fell into Sakura’s waiting arms. Her head rested on Sakura’s shoulder. She looked up into her beautiful green eyes, and Sakura looked down at her beautiful pale ones. Then she leaned down and kissed her. It was gentle, like a spring breeze wafting so close and disappearing much too quick. It was in that moment that both Hinata and Sakura knew they were going to be together forever.

And then complications arose, starting with the door opening.

“Hinata?” Neji asked as he entered the room. “I heard some screaming and I… thought…” his voice trailed off as he saw Hinata and Sakura. His left eye started to twitch, and he grabbed his head. He pressed his thumbs to his temples and said, “Hinata, you have a phone call downstairs.” Then he left, probably too embarrassed to say anything.

Hinata’s jaw dropped open, and tears started to form in her pale eyes. She buried her face in Sakura’s chest and cried, “Oh, Sakura! What am I going to do? Father will hate me, and he’ll kick me out of the house! And then Neji will-”

Sakura silenced her with a kiss. After they pulled apart Sakura said, “Relax Hinata. You’re thinking too much about the future, and not thinking about the present. You don’t even know if Neji will tell Hiashi. And then, we have plenty of time to prepare for what may come after. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you. Nothing else matters. Not Hiashi, not Neji, not anyone.”

Hinata smiled and wiped away her tears. “Yeah, y-you’re right. I-I guess I overreacted.”

Sakura handed Hinata her pants and panties. “Here, put these on. Then we’ll go downstairs.” Hinata smiled a little and blushed. She put on her clothes on and went downstairs. Sakura was right behind her.

Hanabi was holding the phone. “For you, sis,” she said in a snub-nosed kind of way. She handed it to her and turned to leave. Suddenly, she stopped. She turned around and looked at Sakura in surprise. She smiled, but didn’t say anything.

“Yes?” Hinata asked. She sighed. “Yes Kiba, Akamaru’s flea and tick spray is on the top shelf. Yes, I am sure I gave it to you. Okay. Uh-huh. Alright, see you.” She hung up and sighed again. “Well that was a colossal waste of time. Kiba is so forgetful.” Sakura giggled. She had never really known Kiba, but he did act like a dork sometimes.

Just then Hiashi burst through the door, his face red and steaming. Hinata recoiled in fear. “F-father, I-I…”

Hiashi grabbed Hinata’s arm and half carried, half drug Hinata to the door. “You… no… longer… have… a… place… in… this… household!” he screamed as he shoved her to the ground outside. Sakura just managed to run out before Hiashi slammed the door. Hinata started crying. It was the normal reaction to someone who had just been thrown out of the house. Sakura ran over to her and held in her arms as Hinata wept. Hiashi watched through the upstairs window. “Sick!” he spat.

Sakura tried to comfort Hinata through her wracking coughs and sobs. “Shh, shh, it’ll be alright. That’s it. It’s alright. It’s alright…”

After about five minutes, Hinata stopped crying and looked up into Sakura’s eyes. “Oh, Sakura,” she said. “What am I going to do? I have no home, no job. Well, I am a ninja, but that doesn’t pay all that well. Please help me Sakura.”

She wasn’t sure what she’d expect. For Sakura to say that it wasn’t her problem, or to go find someone else. Instead, she pressed her lips to Hinata’s and helped her to her feet. “Don’t worry, Hinata. I assure you; I will take care of everything. And, this may sound embarrassing, but would you like to live with me for a while? I mean, until you can get an apartment or something.”

Hinata was overwhelmed with happiness. Of all the people in Konoha, she had never expected to fall in love with Sakura Haruno. She had thought that she would get together with Naruto, or maybe Kiba if that didn’t go well. She had never thought that she would fall in love with a girl, much less the most beautiful one in the leaf village. Tears formed in Hinata’s eyes again, but this time they were tears of joy. She hugged Sakura and cried into her shoulder. “Of course I’ll come live with you. But on one condition…” She smiled at Sakura. “I don’t have to leave if I don’t want to.”

Sakura beamed. “Of course! I mean, I don’t want you to leave; I just figured you would want your own apartment, your own space.” She took Hinata by the hand and raced of to the main streets of Konoha.

“Where are we going?” Hinata asked.

“Where do you think? To tell the others, of course!” Sakura replied.

--

Five minutes later, Sakura and Hinata found Naruto, Rock Lee, and Sasuke (Let’s just say he defected from Orochimaru and returned, alright) sitting at the Ichiraku Ramen Bar. “Hey guys!” Sakura called out.

Naruto looked up from the pork and shrimp ramen he was eating. “Hey, Sakura-chan! Hey Hinata-chan! Come on, grab a stool.” Sakura sat down to Naruto’s left, and Hinata sat down next to her.

“What sounds good?” Ayame asked Hinata. Sakura had become a regular customer in the past few years, and Ayame already knew what she wanted.

Hinata poked her fingers together nervously. “Um, I guess I’ll have a shrimp ramen and a coke, please.”

Ayame smiled at her. “Coming right up,” she said happily.

Naruto tried to speak to Hinata through the mass of noodles in his mouth. It didn’t work, so he swallowed and asked, “Hey, Hinata-chan, what’re you doing here? I thought you didn’t like ramen.”

Hinata looked mildly surprised. “Oh, Naruto-kun. I, that is we, I mean, we, um, uh,” she stuttered awfully.

Sakura gave her a playful shove and whispered in her ear, “Come on Hinata, you can tell them; I know you can.” Hinata nodded and smiled. She opened her mouth, but Lee interrupted her.

“Sakura-chan! It is so good to see that you have accepted my offer to get ramen at this wonderful place called The Ichiraku Ramen Bar!”

Sweat drop behind Sakura. “Um, Lee; you invited me three months ago, and I kicked you in the face.”

Lee gave his perfect “Nice Guy” pose. “But that is alright, because you are here and we must celebrate our youth together! Tell me, would you like a kiss from Konoha’s premier taijutsu ninja? I have been taking lessons from Guy-sensei.”

Hinata didn’t really know what motivated her to do it, maybe it was the timing, but right as Lee finished, she got really mad. Hinata turned to Lee and said, “Lee, you had better watch what you say to my girlfriend, or you‘re looking to get your ass whooped.”

Suddenly, all was quiet. Lee’s mouth hung open, Sasuke was as stoic as always, although he was trying not to laugh, and Naruto let his ramen fall from his mouth back into his bowl. Teuchi’s eyes bugged out, and Ayame almost dropped Hinata’s order. Sakura smirked. “It’s true, Lee, I’m already taken. By a beautiful young Hyugan named Hinata.” That tore it. Lee fell backwards off his stool, Sasuke burst out laughing, Naruto started funneling ramen as fast as he could in his mouth, then choked on it. Teuchi smiled, and Ayame clapped her hands in glee.

“I’m so happy for you two! As a gift for the new couple, I’ll let you have your orders free of charge!” Ayame handed them their ramen and gave Hinata her coke. They both finished their ramen quickly and sighed.

“That was good! Why haven’t I ever come here before?” Hinata asked.

Sakura shrugged. They looked over at the boys. Lee was crying silently, but Sasuke and Naruto had recovered from their initial shock. “Soooooo, you two are lesbians?” Naruto asked, knowing he was on shaky ground. Sakura and Hinata both nodded. Naruto started sniffing. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” he said between sobs. He soon joined Lee in the “Waah! Sakura is a lesbian and we’ll never get to date her” club.

Sasuke looked at Sakura and shrugged. “I’m happy for you, I guess.”

Sakura was about to say something, but Hinata grabbed her hand and took off, looking for her old teammates. They were in luck. Apparently, Kurenai was treating the whole team to a round at a local bar. “Hey, Hinata,” Kurenai waved at her. “Come on over here! I‘ll buy you a round.”

Hinata sat down in between Kiba and Shino. Sakura sat down next to her. “Um, guys, I have something to tell you.”

Kiba sat his glass on the table and asked, “What?”

Hinata started poking her fingers together, but then she remembered that Sakura was sitting right beside her. So she took a deep breath and said, “I’m gay.”

Shino cocked an eyebrow at her, Kiba burst out laughing, and Kurenai smiled. “Well, I’m glad you admitted your true feelings to us. So, who’s the lucky girl? When did you two get together? Is she pretty?”

Sakura turned to her, a bit annoyed. “I am, today, and hell yeah!”

Kurenai smiled and patted her on the back. “I’m glad to hear it.” she turned to Hinata. “Would you mind if I spoke to Hinata in private?”

Sakura smiled right back at her. “Sure, no problem.”

Kurenai took Hinata back to the bathrooms. “What is it you wanted to tell me, sensei?”

Kurenai took a deep breath and said, “Hinata, there’s something you need to know before you begin to get too intimate with Sakura, understand?” Hinata blushed as red as a beet. “Oh my God, you, you didn’t already do it with her, did you? I mean, you just realized it today, right?” Kurenai asked in shock.

If it was possible, Hinata blushed redder and nodded. “Well, actually,” she said in a timid voice. “I’ve loved her for a while now. She was actually the one who came onto me.”

“Oh, Kami. Ah well, I guess it can’t be helped. But there is something you need to know.” Kurenai swallowed, remembering a painful memory. “After Asuma died, I was so depressed. I locked myself in my room and refused to talk to anyone who came near me. I took so many anti-depressants I fainted in an alleyway once. I even considered suicide, just so I could be with Asuma. One day, Anko came to visit me. I was holding the knife on my wrist, and was starting to move it. She grabbed the knife away and told me that suicide wasn’t the answer, no matter how appealing it might seem. Birds of a feather I suppose. She stayed with me for almost four months, comforting me over my loss. She managed to lift me out of a depression I thought would never end. And then, then…” Her voice trailed off.

Hinata couldn’t help but giggle once. “You… and Anko?” she asked in disbelief.

Kurenai sighed. “Yeah, me and Anko. We still see each other, like out on dates sometimes, but it’s hard.”

Hinata frowned. “W-what do you mean, hard, sensei?”

Kurenai hesitated. “The thing is, if two of Konoha’s premier specialist Jonin became romantically attracted to each other, they might make stupid decisions in combat and end up getting someone killed.” Kurenai ended somberly. “Plus, with Anko being the ex-student of Orochimaru, most everyone hates her, and if they knew we were together, it would only give them more reason to despise and prejudice against her. We love each other; nothing is ever going to change that. I doubt even death could. But, we both realized that it would be better for the other if we did not come out to the open with our relationship.” Kurenai kneeled down to Hinata’s eye level and put her hands on her shoulders. “Listen, the point is, if you two love each other, and I mean truly love each other, you’ll do what is best for Sakura, not for yourself. You will have to go on missions with her, and make tough decisions in a combat situation. Do you understand all that I have told you?”

Hinata nodded, the very beginning of tears welling up in her eyes. “I-I understand, sensei. I have to do what is best for Sakura, not me, here, and not let my love for her blind me while out on missions. And-” Hinata stopped when she heard a stall door opening.

Anko’s head and half of her fishnet shirt poked out. She smiled, maybe the first smile Hinata had ever seen her wear. “Sakura’s a good girl,” she said in a motherly tone. “I think you’ll do fine with her. Just take this advice: never, and I mean never videotape yourself having sex to pay off bills or debt. I’ve still got the bruise from where Kurenai hit me.”

Kurenai laughed. “Oh come on, it wasn’t that bad. I barely even hit you!”

Anko put her hands on her hips. “Yeah, and you refused to sleep in the same bed as me for a month!”

Kurenai stood up and glared at her. “Well, I thought the punishment fit the crime! You have no idea how embarrassed I was when I walked into the Jonin council and every guy in there is laughing his head off at me from looking at that video!”

Anko fake pouted and played with her lip. “Oh, I’m sorry Kurenai. Do you forgive me?”

“Oh, of course I do, Anko! You know I could never stay mad at you.”

Hinata bowed to Kurenai. “Thank you, Kurenai. I will make sure to take your advice.”

Kurenai bowed to her as well. “Good girl. Now, will you run along and give me and Anko some alone time?” Hinata smiled and went back to Sakura.

“What did Kurenai want to say?” she asked.

“Oh, nothing,” Hinata assured her. “So, who do we tell next?” she asked.

“Hmm, I can’t think of anyone,” Sakura replied. Then her face lit up. “Actually, we haven’t told Ino yet, have we?”

“Let’s go!” Hinata said. It was getting pretty late. It was about 8 or 9:00. Fortunately, the Yanamaka flower shop was still open.

“Hey there, Sakura,” Ino said as she was packing up the shop. “What can I get you?”

Sakura smiled and bowed to her. “Hey, Ino. Actually, I wanted to tell you something.”

Ino leaned over the counter, putting her chin in her hand. “Well? What do you want, forehead girl? I don‘t have all day.” Although their friendship had rekindled after Sasuke had rejected both of them, they still teased each other on occasion.

Sakura grinned. “Well, just watch.” Sakura grabbed Hinata by her shirt and pulled her into a kiss. Sakura had planned to stop there, but apparently, that wasn’t Hinata’s plan. She licked at Sakura’s lips, begging for entrance into her sweet cavern. Sakura nibbled on her tongue for a moment, then shoved hers into Hinata’s mouth. They started a tongue war that grew more hot by the second. Hinata eventually won, and slipped one hand up Sakura’s shirt, kneading Sakura’s breast in her hand. She gently tweaked Sakura’s nipple that was suddenly rock hard.

“Um, girls, I’m still in the room, you know,” Ino said.

Sakura and Hinata broke apart with embarrassed looks on their faces. “Oh, um, sorry,” Hinata said, blushing.

“Yeah, I guess we got carried away,” Sakura said.

Ino smiled and nodded. “Well, I guess I’m okay with you two being, you know… Anyway, would you like some flowers? I mean, now that you two are together.”

Sakura turned to Hinata and kissed her cheek. “So, what would you like, baby?”

Hinata smiled and blushed when she heard Sakura call her “baby.” “Um, I guess I’d like some yellow roses, if that’s okay with you, Ino.”

“Sure!” Ino handed Hinata a vase filled with twelve yellow roses. “Here you go. Thank you.”

Hinata bowed. “No, thank you.”

Sakura and Hinata headed back to Sakura’s house. Sakura was carrying Hinata’s roses in one hand, so she could hold Hinata’s. They got to the door and Sakura handed Hinata a key she picked up from under the mat. “Here you go. Since we’re going to be living together now, I guess you should have a key, too. I never use this one anyway.” Hinata smiled. Finally, she had her own place away from Hiashi, Hanabi and Neji! It was an amazing feeling, sharing a house with the one you love. Sakura clicked the door open and said, “Well, it’s no Hyuga Manor, but it’s home.” The apartment was small, but not constricting small. It had a bathroom, a twin sized bed, a fridge in one corner, a twin sized bed, a staircase covered with pictures dating back to all the way to the academy, oh, and did I mention a twin sized bed? Sakura set the roses on a desk and sank into a chair.

Hinata took off her shoes and collapsed on the bed, much like she had done earlier this morning. “Ahh, it feels good to be home,” she said dreamily.

Sakura jumped onto the bed beside her. “You got that right,” she said. “My house is your house. Make yourself at home.”

Hinata rolled over and looked up at the ceiling. “Maybe tomorrow. Right now I want to sleep. Do you have any spare PJs I could borrow, Sakura-chan?” Sakura shook her head. “Oh. Well, do you mind if I strip down to my bra and panties? I mean, we are lovers, right?”

Sakura nodded, then a devious smirk played over her features. “Actually Hinata-chan,” she said, crawling on her hands and knees towards Hinata like a cat. “I’d love to see even more of you than that…”

Hinata smiled and captured Sakura in a loving kiss. This truly was going to be an unforgettable night.

AN. Hey all yuri lovers out there. Glad I finally got this chap finished. I like AnkoxKurenai, so I decided to put it in here so Hinata could get some advice from her former mentor. Say, that gives me an idea. An evil, pervish idea, but an idea nonetheless. What if Sakura goes to see Tsunade, and she turns out to be a lesbian as well? I was going to put a lemon in the end of this, but I decided against it. This won’t have a lemon a chapter, like LMLD. Can any of you give me some names for the title; because I really don’t like it. Anyway, give me your beat down suggestions, worn out ideas, stricken items of perversion, and I shall find a home for them.
