I have a lot of unfinished Ranma's but this one popped into my head. Hope you like.
Hinata knew there was always someone else first in Naruto's heart. A tear rolled down her face as she looked on, watching them as they tumbled around, locked lips, touching each other. It was obvious from the beginning, but it still hurt, a little bit.
-Earlier-
"I'm not sure how you two put up with it! If Sai was always so busy and frequently comes home late, or not at all, I'd suspect he was cheating," Ino giggled.
"Shikamaru makes some effort to come home early, sometimes." Temari thought about the last time he did. About four weeks ago?
"Naruto and Shikamaru aren't like that," Hinata said cheerfully.
"You never know with men," stated Ino, cynically, though sarcastically. "But you're right, Naruto and Shikamaru would never do anything like that."
"Where is Sakura? She's late." Temari just wanted to have breakfast already.
"Sakura... now I wonder how *she* does it. Twelve years without a man. I'd go mad!" Ino giggled.
Hinata blushed. "She's a strong woman. She can handle it. And here she is now." Hinata waved.
"Hey everyone, sorry I'm late! I had to stop by the Hokage's office to make a report. Normally I'd do it later in the evening, but this one couldn't wait."
'Later in the evening?' Hinata couldn't help but think to herself about what she does when she stops by in the evening.
.
-Later that day-
Boruto had come over hoping he would find Sasuke to continue learning the rasengan. But Sasuke wasn't around. Instead, he was invited by Sakura to watch a movie with them. He accepted only because he had nothing else to do otherwise.
"Maybe he's at the hokage's office." Her mouth clenched and turned upward. "I'll... go get him. I'll pick up some popcorn along the way. You two can go ahead and watch the movie. I'll watch it with Sasuke later." Sakura left trusting them to behave. Or not behave. That's fine, they'll end up together anyway.
"Hmph, he's probably keeping that stupid old man busy." Boruto snided.
"You should show some respect to the Lord Seventh, Boruto. Especially since he's your father. At least he's around."
"Around? Always staying in his office and rarely coming home is not being around."
"He's doing important work. No matter how much work it is, I'll become hokage. Then you'll see how important it is and you'd have show me the highest respect too." She balled her fists to her chin and giggled.
"Oh, I'll show you respect. Kage bunshin no jutsu!" In a poof, four of Boruto's clones appeared. They charged at Sarada, each grabbing one of her limbs. Sarada tried to fight them off, but four was too many to handle. Her monstrous strength was only effective if she could land a hit. But Boruto was swift and, though not that strong, stronger than her. Especially when an entire one of him was holding each of her limb down. They pinned her to the bed. The real Boruto got a good view up her skirt. He smirked.
"You better not try anything Boruto!" She activated her sharingan.
"Hmph. Genjutsu. That won't work on me. I just won't look into your eyes." He walked up to her and laid a hand on her smooth skin.
No matter how much she liked his attention and his touch made her tingle, Sarada wasn't having it. "BORUTOOOO," she said in a threatening manner. But Boruto only continued, sliding his hand upwards into her skirt. She scowled. Just as Boruto slipped her skirt up slightly and lowered his face to her legs, Sarada thought of a more effective threat. "Boruto... wait til my dad hears about this..."
Boruto's eyes hollowed with fear and he began to sweat. "She's right! If Mr. Sasuke finds out, he'll stop teaching us!" yelled one of the clones.
"Yeah, then we can't beat that stupid old man!" said another.
"He might do something worse!" another exclaimed.
"Maybe this is a bad idea..." thought the other out loud.
Boruto definitely did not want to find out what Mr. Sasuke would do. His clones disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Fine... you get off this time." He still pulled her skirt up and crawled up to embrace her. 'Just wait til we grow up.' He thought to himself. Sarada wrapped her arms around him.
"This time? You won't be doing that again," she teased him.
"Just you wait," he leaned to give her a peck, but she pushed him off.
"You're lucky my mom left the house." She pulled her skirt down and left.
Boruto watched as she walked out. All the dirty things he planned to do to her someday ran through his head.
Hinata couldn't help but worry. "Naruto would never... he would never." She used her byakugan to look at what he was doing. Sitting there on his desk, speaking to Shikamaru. Shikamaru waved and left the office. See? He's not doing anything wrong. She sighed in relief. Himawari was out playing with Inojin. 'Maybe I should visit Naruto for once. I'll drop off some clothes and food; it'll cheer him up and give him some relief.' She smiled and packed a bento.
"Well I'll be off. You should call it in early some time too. Don't push yourself too hard." It's been four weeks since Shikamaru had dinner with his family and he wanted to catch them tonight. As well as have a little dirty time with his wife. He smirked at the thought.
"Work is lightening up some. Maybe I'll get to tomorrow. For now, have a good time with your family."
"Alright. See ya." Shikamaru ran into Sasuke on the way out and had a small chat.
Once home Shikamaru could smell a delicious scent wafting from the kitchen.
"Is that you Shikadai?" Temari heard the door open and close. 'He wasn't supposed to get back for another hour, once I'm done preparing dinner...' Her hand stopped dead in the middle of chopping vegetables. 'Huh? I can't move... what's this? Shadow bind?" She couldn't turn to see behind her. Suddenly shadows around her appeared and lifted off the surfaces. They bound her hands and untied her obi. "Shi... kamaru? What are you doing here so early?"
"I like to spend time with my wife sometimes." He said walking towards her.
"Shikadai will be back soon..."
"Hah, you should know by now, Choji's my wingman. He's going to hold that kid up longer than he expected." Shikamaru reached around and pulled her robe over her shoulders.
Hinata stopped dead in her tracks. A pink haired woman was headed in the same direction. The same woman Naruto persistently pursued throughout their youth. 'Sakura... where is she headed?' The only building ahead was the hokage's office. As Sakura walked into the building, Hinata filled with dread. "I knew it..." She teared up.
"Naruto, we need to talk."
"Huh? About what?"
"Don't act like you don't know. I tried to leave the village forever twice- for a reason. First was for vengeance, the second... I couldn't think up a good reason. But you know the reason, and I'm tired of holding it. You kept trying to bring me back, much against my will. You know it's against the law."
Naruto leaned back on his desk, arms crossed.
Sasuke picked up his sword and grabbed Naruto by the collar.
Sasuke thought back to the day it happened. He was surprised at himself that he liked it, but denied it fervently. He tasted of miso. He tasted good. He thought he did it on purpose and he leaned in to return it. He couldn't think about anything else since, and he found ways to distract himself, like his mission to kill his brother.
But it's been too long now, and he didn't want to keep holding back. He had a taste of freedom- escape from Orochimaru, relief from his goals of vengeance against his brother and the village, and the long, insufferable, suppressed attraction to Sakura. And now there was one other freedom he wanted. He can't be stopped now.
"Hmm? The inner doors are locked. No one's here. Did Naruto go home early? But then where's Sasuke? I could've sworn I saw lights coming from the hokage's office." Sakura went back out. "Hinata?"
Hinata jumped back a bit. 'She spotted me.' "H... Hi, Sakura-chan. Wh... what are you doing here?" She asked, knowing she would lie.
"I was looking for Sasuke, but the doors are locked. The lights in the office are on though. I wanted to see if anyone was in there."
Hinata looked up. "You're right, they are on."
Sakura jumped on a high tree branch to see who was in there. She gasped and her mouth dropped. She started to tear up.
"Sakura, what's wrong?" Hinata jumped next to her and put a hand on her shoulder. She looked towards the window.
Sasuke was grabbing Naruto by the collar, sword in hand.
"You wouldn't stop chasing me down and getting me back. Now you get what you want." Sasuke leaned in and caught Naruto by surprise. He pulled away.
"Sasuke! You've got the wrong idea. I brought you back because I wanted my best friend back. Not because... anyway, I could lose my position, and both of us could be banned from the country. I worked hard to be hokage, and I'm not leaving from here a disgrace!"
Sasuke put his sword down. "Then we'll have to make sure no one knows." Sasuke's sword puffed into a clone, and held Naruto's hands from performing kage bushin or resisting in any other way.
As much as he wanted to resist, Naruto had been desiring this since the day they kissed. The taste of Sasuke reminded him of that first kiss long ago. Reluctantly he gave in.
The view of the two kissing and touching each other shocked but did not surprise Hinata and Sakura.
"Naruto... how could you..." Hinata teared up.
Sakura sobbed into her hands. "I should've seen this coming..." She wiped her tears. "It was obvious from the beginning..." She reached into her purse and took out a small bag of popcorn. She sighed. Her favorite anime category was happening before her eyes, even if it was her husband. "We might as well enjoy the yaoi. Popcorn?" she offered Hinata.
"You're right. It was obvious..." Hinata was relieved that at least it wasn't a woman, Sakura no less. She wiped her tear, reached into the bag and ate a piece of popcorn.
This was intended as a one-shot, but depending on if I come up with new material and response I may continue. I may also add more details and modify the story to be a little less simple. Let me know what you think. Feedback is always appreciated. But if youhave no sense of humor please don't bother. Hope you enjoyed!
