A/N: Thanks for deciding to read this fanfiction! :D This is my second one and I finally seem to have gotten the hang of the website haha. Hanabi and Konohamaru are an interesting ship.. One day, maybe I will fully embrace it, so I decided to write a fanfic on it. It's a pretty cute idea for a pairing... Please enjoy and leave a friendly review!
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T own Naruto... Masashi Kishimoto does :3
"Don't worry, Hinata-chan! I am a great babysitter!" Konohamaru give a good guy pose, a thumb up and a shining smile. "The two children are safe with me!"
Hinata looked over at Naruto with a concerned glance. When Naruto saw he had a day off, he told Hinata that he wanted to take her out on a date.
"Just me and you... We can get a babysitter!"
However, everyone seemed to be busy with their own children that the Uzumaki couple couldn't find anyone trusting (or willing enough) to watch their kids. Konohamaru overheard their conversation and volunteered with such gusto, that Naruto couldn't refuse.
Naruto gave the young man a hearty pat on the back. "Thanks so much, Konohamaru! We won't be long."
"Please take good care of them. Boruto isn't a fan of vegetables but please make sure he eats them. Himawari enjoys playing hide and go seek… Please careful and don't lose sight of her! Make sure that they don't get hurt! Boruto likes to pull pranks..." Hinata fussed as she passed over a bag of clothes and another full of toys. "Himawari isn't a picky eater. However, no sweets before real food. And always ask if Boruto has to go to the restroom. We have accidents here and there…" She shoved a basket full of food at Konohamaru.
"Hinata, Konohamaru is fully aware. Don't worry! I trust him," Naruto smiled as he wrapped an arm around Hinata's shoulder. She sighed and gave her children a warm gaze.
"Okay, Boruto-kun… Mama and Papa will be back as soon as possible. And Hima-chan, keep being a good girl. We love you very much. Don't cause too much trouble…" Hinata gave the four year old boy a tight hug and the two year old a kiss on the cheek. "Take care of each other."
Naruto smiled at Konohamaru and nodded. "We'll be off now, Konohamaru. If anything, send a clone our way and we will come immediately."
"Awe, come on, nii-san. It's only a couple of kiddos. I think I handle it," Konohamaru grinned.
"Okay… Okay, well… Please take care of them…" Hinata fidgeted as she handed over Boruto and Himawari. They didn't seem to mind spending a day with him.
"Have fun you two! You can take as long as you want!"
Naruto wiggled his eyebrows at Konohamaru and winked. "Oh, I just might take you up on that offer." Hinata's cheeks burned at the comment, quickly turning away.
Konohamaru looked down at the wondering eyes of the children and patted their heads. "We're gonna have a good time."
Once the three settled inside Konohamaru's living room, they sat on the floor and waited for something to happen. They weren't particularly sure of what, but they waited for ten minutes there, staring. Konohamaru coughed, finally breaking the awkward silence.
"Well, what do you guys do for fun?" Konohamaru scanned their innocent faces as they sat. No response.
"Ah… For Naruto's kids, they sure don't talk much, neh?..."
Konohamaru sat down across from them and clapped. "Oh! Hey, how about we play a game! Your mom gave us some fun toys here in this bag!" He dumped the contents of one the green backpacks and out fell a plethora of toys.
Boruto and Himawari beamed as they scavenged through the pile, picking out their favorites.
"I like the shuriken. Imma be a great ninja, just like Papa and Mama." Boruto ran around the living room with his plastic ninja tools.
"Hima-chan, what do you want to play with?" Konohamaru asked sweetly. The little girl smiled shyly as she clutched a doll close to her chest.
"Hima 'ikes to pay 'ith Ume-hime," she said, patting the doll's hair with such affection, it hurt Konohamaru's heart. "Papa pays too. He is a prince and brings back Ume-hime 'rom onii-chan."
"I'm a big scary villain! I am the monster from under Himawari's bed! Rawr!" Boruto grins evilly at Himawari as he stomped over to the toddler. She giggled and screamed as she ran down the hall.
"Help! Onii-chan is a monster!"
Konohamaru stood up and smiled as he watched the children disappear down the hallways. His mother peeks out from the kitchen, rubbing her hands on her apron.
"Geeze, these really are Naruto's kids." She mumbled. Konohamaru laughed as he made his way towards the giggles and screams.
"I'll save Himawari-chan and Ume-hime from the nasty monster!" he bellowed, tickling Boruto from behind.
"H-hey! No fair! Ha, ha! N-no! I'm not tickl- ha, ha!" Boruto choked out while laughing. He doubled over as Himawari joined the two.
"Onii-chan lost!"
Konohamaru grinned as he picked up Himawari up triumphantly, spinning her around. "His weakness was easy to figure out! We saved Ume-hime from his evil clutches!" She giggled as she hugged Konohamaru's neck in gratitude.
Boruto suddenly stopped his laughing and gave an awkward grimace. His legs were crossed and he began dancing and squirming around. "Uhm… Uh… K-Konohamaru-san… I-I gotta go really bad…" He tugged urgently on the man's pant leg. Konohamaru looked at Boruto's pained face in confusion when it suddenly clicked.
"Go?… Go! Oh! Yeah! Ah! Quickly, Boruto, grab my hand!" Konohamaru sat the girl back down and hauled the boy down the hall again. "Just hold it in for a minute."
"I-I don't have to go anymore…" Boruto blushed as he looked down at his pants. Completely soaked, Boruto watched as a little puddle formed at his feet. Konohamaru stopped and groaned as he too gazed upon the urine.
"Boruto… Why didn't you tell me you had to go sooner?"Konohamaru whined.
"I didn't have to go that bad."
Konohamaru slumped down and sighed, rubbing his temples. "Accidents happen… But next time tell me, even if you don't have to go so bad. We gotta change you out of those clothes. Maybe my mom can wash those pants."
"My big sister told you to ask him constantly if he had to go to the restroom," A voice called from the window. Konohamaru turned around to find a pair of lavender eyes watching him. He grumbled.
"Hanabi. Well, I doubt you could do a better job than I can. They trusted me with their kids."
"I was busy at the time. Usually these two stay over at the compound whenever I have free time."
"Well, what do you want? How did you know that we were here?"
Hanabi entered swiftly as she smiled at the blonde child who finally noticed his aunt. "I bumped into them in town. Hinata asked if I could check up on the kids every once in a while. I don't think she thinks you can handle such a mission." She snickered as she crouched down next to her nephew.
Konohamaru blushed in embarrassment as she proceeded to help Boruto. "I can handle it! I mean, it was ONE accident. Psh. I mean, kids pee their pants everyday. No big deal!"
"You mean YOU peed yourself everyday, Konohamaru?"
Konohamaru was at a loss for words, causing another stream of heat to reach his face.
"Konohamaru, go get a wet rag and some disinfectant spray. Something to clean up the mess. I'll take Boruto to the restroom to clean up." Hanabi ordered as she picked the child. "And call over Himawari. Never leave her alone for too long or else she starts to cry."
Konohamaru watched the Hyugan walk away and stuck his tongue out at her.
"I saw that." She calmly said, her back still facing the flustered boy. "I DO have the Byakugan and all the power it holds… I'm just as strong as my sister."
He gulped nervously as he called out for the two year old. "H-Himawari? Please come into the living room?"
"Nabi!" Himawari squealed as she reached up. After Boruto was washed up and changed, Hanabi decided to stay.
"It's so there aren't any more accidents. Knowing you, there will be many."
Konohamaru glared as he watched the two kids open up easily and chatter with Hanabi. He was just as cool and as capable as she was.
"Hey, it's past noon. Have you feed them yet?" Hanabi asked.
"I was about to until you came in," He mumbled under his breath.
Konohamaru's mother looked into the living room and smiled at the new guest.
"Ah! What a lovely surprise! Hello, Hanabi-san. What brings you around here?"
Hanabi smiled sweetly as she hugged her niece. "I came to visit my niece and nephew, of course. I thought that Konohamaru-kun might need some assistance with these two bundles of joy." She eyed him with a teasing gleam in her gaze. "He never babysat Uzumaki-san's children before. It is quite a handful."
"How kind of you! I'm sure he is very grateful for your kind gesture, aren't you, Konohamaru?"
He strained a smile as he looked at his mother. "Of course. Thank you, Hanabi-chan." He forced through his clenched teeth. Hanabi eyes gleamed innocently in return.
"Well, I just finished cooking a yummy lunch for these three. Hinata provided some delicious vegetables from her garden. Would you care to join us?"
Hanabi blushed and looked away. "I don't want to be a bother. Konohamaru seems to not want me here." He glared over at her as she smirked in return.
"Nonsense. We would be happy to have you join us. Right, Konohamaru?" The mother looked over at her son with stern eyes. He jumped up a bit and nodded. She didn't get mad often, but when she did, it was pretty scary.
"Y-yeah. Join us."
"Well, if you insist… Thank you!"
The children gobbled down their onigiri and slurped up their stew. Konohamaru picked at his food while Hanabi chewed daintily.
"Why aren't you eating, Konohamaru? Your mother's cooking is delicious." Hanabi teased. He grunted as he bit into a rice ball.
"I know it is. Why don't you just go home?! I can handle these two perfectly fine."
"I was ordered to help by my sister. And your mother doesn't seem to mind me being here. Why are you being such a jerk?" Hanabi bit into another onigiri. "Unless you feel threatened by me."
Konohamaru scoffed and smirked. "I'm a great babysitter. Threatened by you? Hah."
Hanabi closed her eyes and smiled. "Hmm… I will believe it when I see it."
"Then just you watch! The day is still new. These kids are gonna have the best time here with me!"
"Well, we'll see about that." Hanabi wiped her face clean and helped Himawari wipe her hands. "Test number one: Himawari has finished eating. How do you proceed?"
Konohamaru grinned and crossed his arms. "Easy. We continue playing like we did before!"
"Wrong. Himawari's tummy is full. If she roughhouses with you, she will blow chunks everywhere." Hanabi picked up Boruto's plate and set it into the sink. "It's best to have them do something quiet, like color or a story. After a couple minutes, ask them if they have to potty."
Konohamaru huffed out and looked away. She was right; he needed her help taking care of these kids. He peeked over his shoulder and watched Hanabi tenderly clean Boruto's cheeks. He held his breath as his heart constricted a bit.
"What's wrong with me. This is stupid. She finds joy in getting you flustered." He thought. "But…"
Hanabi grasped the children's hands, leading them back to the living room.
"I guess it's alright to have her here… for now."
