DELUSIONAL

"Where am I? The last thing I remember was that Ino and I stopped a Suna ninja from attacking my husband, Naruto Uzumaki. I saw Naruto strike him dead and Ino lying next to me on the ground, I wondered if she died because I didn't see her blink not once. Then I heard my beloved husband calling my name and running to me and then there was total darkness. Was this my fate as well to die and not see my darling children become adults? To never celebrate a marriage anniversary with the one I gave my heart to long ago? No I hear someone calling my name, it's Sakura. She calling my name and I hear Shikamaru as well, I'm not dead. Dammit I tell myself to wake up, to open my eyes and get back to the life I prayed so much to have with Naruto. As my eyes open I see I'm not on the battlefield at all but in the village. How is this possible? As they pick me up I feel light headed and confused, Shikamaru and Sakura have on different clothes. I want to say something but my voice is muted for some reason and even worse my head is splitting. Where am I?" I ask so very weakly.

"You were walking down the street and you fainted, luckily Shikamaru and I happened to be in the vicinity. You need us to take you home to Kiba?" As Sakura felt her head for a fever.

"Kiba? Why would I go over to Kiba's home? Wait that battle with that rogue Suna ninja what happened?" I had to make sure my husband was alright.

"Suna ninja? You sure you're alright Hinata? Naruto hasn't given us a mission in nearly three weeks and we never face any rogue Suna shinobi…well ever." As Shikamaru looked Hinata in the eyes.

"What are you talking about we did and Naruto can't give us any missions; this mission was given to us by Tsunade to bring that Suna ninja to justice for the murder of four Konoha ninjas. It was Ino, Sakura, you and me." As Hinata finally made it to her feet on her own as her legs looked flimsy.

"Tsunade the legendary sucker? Why would she give us a mission? She hasn't been in Konoha for over thirty years, you talk if she was the Hokage or something." As Shikamaru put his hand upon his chin to study Hinata.

"That's it I'm taking you to the hospital and calling your husband to come check on you. Kiba will have to wait to go on his mission, something is terribly wrong with you Hinata." Sakura could see that Hinata was confused.

"Again with this Kiba? Why would this affect Kiba's mission? Naruto he can explain everything, he was with us on the mission…"

"Wait why would the Rokudaime accompany us on a mission? Hinata do you know what you're saying?" As Shikamaru tried to calm Hinata down." I know Naruto is your brother-in-law but he hasn't been on a mission with us in about three years. Just sit back down and relax until we get you a doctor." Shikamaru was about to leave until he heard Hinata began to speak.

"Doctor? Sakura is right here, she was trained by Tsunade herself and Naruto isn't my brother-in-law he's my husband! My name is Hinata Uzumaki!" Hinata became furious, she could be called confused or even crazy but she wasn't going to let anyone say that Naruto wasn't her husband.

Both Shikamaru and Sakura both had a stun look on their faces.

"Umm Hinata, Naruto is married to your sister Hanabi and I'm not a doctor and I wasn't trained by this Tsunade to be one, hell I never met or seen her. You're husband is Kiba Inuzuka, Naruto is the Kage of the village now and before him was the Godaime Jiraiya." Sakura pointed to the Hokage monument where the faces of Naruto and Jiraiya stood with the rest of the Hokages.

"This can't be!" Hinata had a terrified look on her face as she saw the monument." Jiraiya never wanted to become the Hokage and Naruto and I were just jonins, they had him on the list of possible candidates but he wanted at least two more years before Tsunade told the council about her choice. We were planning on having more children and he wanted to mentor his own genin team. I must be under some sort of powerful genjutsu, someone please insert their chakra into me." Hinata knew this was some sort of genjutsu as she continued to yell at the top of her lungs as people started to notice her odd behavior.

"Calm down Hinata, tell you what come with us to the hospital and we'll sort this all out there. You're just confuse from passing out, once you settled down you'll see that it's just a misunderstanding." Sakura was now worried beyond belief for her friend.

"No take me to Naruto now or I won't go anywhere!" Hinata now started to draw a large crowd with her excessive yelling.

"Fine! "As Shikamaru started to walk off.

Sakura followed behind Shikamaru and grabbed his wrist.

"Are you nuts? Hanabi and Hinata haven't talked since they were children; they have a deep hatred for one another thanks to their father. He pitted them against each other as they fought for his love, when Naruto was nominated for being the Rokudaime the elders wanted him to take a bride. Both Hinata and Hanabi asked their father to set up a arrange marriage but he said that only the strongest Hyuuga could stand next to the Hokage. That fight was brutal; Hinata stabbed her own sister with a sword after she was defeated by Hanabi. Her father chose Hinata for doing that to her own flesh and blood but the council and elders didn't want the other nations to think that we were a bunch of ruthless killers so they chose Hanabi as Naruto bride and the Hyuuga clan chose Hinata as their heir." As Sakura pleaded with Shikamaru to not bring Hinata to the Uzumaki compound.

"She needs to be snapped back into reality, she struggled for years to be a good person and I would hate for her to sacrifice all that hard work for nothing." As Shikamaru continued to walk toward Naruto's and Hanabi's home.


As Hinata looked around the village, she noticed that a lot of people were frowning at her. Some even made attempts to avoid her completely. As she looked around she could smell the flowers, hear the whispers of the people passing by. This was no genjutsu she thought, she steadily made hand signs and to see if she could be release from it if she was but to no avail. Shikamaru and Sakura saw her strange behavior and wondered just what the hell happened to her. As they approached the Uzumaki compound, Hinata was in awe of how beautiful the mansion was. This was the place she dreamed of Naruto and her having a large family. As she walked in the house a couple of servants looked at Hinata as if she was a disease.

"What is she doing…" the servant was cut off by Shikamaru.

"We need to see Hanabi Uzumaki, it's an emergency." As Shikamaru raised his hand and looked at the servant.

Hinata flinched when she heard Shikamaru call her Hanabi Uzumaki. As the servant had on a face that showed contempt for Hinata, he did what he was asked and went to fetch his mistress. As Hinata looked around she saw many pictures of Naruto and Hanabi, some were romantic pictures but most were that of their wedding. Hinata saw Hanabi holding a little dark haired boy around two years old in her arms as he playfully pulled her long black hair. Then Hinata saw another picture this one Naruto holding onto Hanabi's pregnant stomach as the little boy smiled at his parents. This picture disturbed Hinata the most; they looked so happy and didn't have a care in the world.

"What the hell is she doing here Shikamaru!" As Hanabi pointed her finger indignantly at her older sister." Get out of my house now or I swear that I'll put four kunais in your skull!"

"Calm down Hanabi, something is seriously wrong with your sister…" Sakura was interrupted by Hanabi.

"I don't give a damn if something is wrong with her! If she doesn't leave here now then that seriously wrong will turn into something seriously dead!" Hanabi held onto her pregnant eighth month stomach.

"Look she changed a lot over the years; you have to agree on that! She fainted and now have the weird misconception that she's married to Naruto." Sakura got in front of Hanabi.

"First you take my clan away from me by banishing me and now you want my husband as well? You're a real piece of work Hinata, now all three of you get the fuck out of my house now!" Hanabi had all she wanted hear from the three.

"Wait Hanabi why do you hate me so much? This doesn't make sense, we were always friends. Sure we had our differences but we never disliked each other." Hinata looked into her eyes with compassion to try and get the full story.

Hanabi was shocked to say the least, she never seen that look in her sister's eyes."Fine I'll give you the abridged version of our childhood. Our father wanted an heir that was strong, smart, ruthless and loyal to the clan. He bred us to hate each other, to despise the others existence. We made numerous attempts on each other's lives; we gave each other broken bones, slashes and burns. I had enough and was about to hand you the leadership of the clan and run away. I was stopped by Naruto from leaving the village. He recognize me as Hanabi and only Hanabi, I fell in love with him that night. He persuaded me to stay in the clan and that he would talk to you about what was going on and for us to stop rying to hurt each other. He convinced you and we had a truce, I fell even deeper in love with Naruto after that. I confessed to him a month later and we began to date. Your jealousy made you even more deadly as you wish to see me dead rather than happy. When Naruto was nominated for Hokage position, he chose me as his bride to be. But you went to our father and somehow convinced him that only the strongest Hyuuga should be by his side. We fought and I won, after the match you drove a sword through my stomach nearly killing me but even worse than that the doctors told me I would never be able to bear children. I'm glad they were wrong, now you know the story get out!" Hanabi had all she could take from Hinata being in her home.

"No that's not possible! I'm nothing like that, I remember my life and I never had hatred like that. When I was on my mission I was hit with something… I can't remember the exact details but Ino and I saved Naruto's life.

"Ino Yamanaka? Is this some sort of sick joke?" Hanabi looked at Hinata with disgust then to Shikamaru and Sakura.

Both Shikamaru and Sakura put their heads down.

"Get out! Get out right now!"

"Hey what's with all the yelling? It's enough to wake the dead."

"Hinata knew that voice from anywhere, it was Naruto.

"Naruto!" She quickly rushed toward him and embraced him as if she hadn't seen him in a thousand years.

"Umm am I missing something here?" Naruto was confused as he looked over to his wife and saw a scowling Hanabi fuming over touching her sister.

"Naruto", as Hinata went to explain herself. She looked at Hanabi, Shikamaru and Sakura."Can we talk in private?" As she looked into Naruto's eyes.

"Naruto felt every emotion flowing from Hinata, usually when she was around he could feel hate, anger distrust and aggression. This time he felt love, peace, tranquility in her soul but he felt something else… confusion.

"You're not Hinata Inuzuka, who are you?" As Naruto pushed her back gently.

Everyone's mouth dropped to the floor. Was she a spy?

"I know Hinata better than she knows herself and this maybe Hinata on the outside but on the inside she someone else. Maybe somebody did a mind body transfer, Sakura go see if any of the Yamanaka did anything to Inuzuka-sama."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." As Sakura left the house.

Hanabi didn't know what to think, she thought her sister had some kind of plan to hurt them but wasn't too sure of what it was.

"Hanabi I'm going to talk to Hinata in my office, don't worry I'll be okay." As Naruto smiled at his wife.

Hanabi smiled at her husband, she trusted him completely.


As they walked into Naruto's office, Naruto sat down and asked Hinata to tell him everything from the beginning all the way up to now. As Hinata went over twenty years of history between them, Naruto looked shocked on some of the things that were being told to him. As he continued to listen to her mind-boggling tales, he never heard of some of the things he did in her stories. As she got to the part about fighting a rogue Suna ninja, she was hazy on the events. Then she told him they were all caught up to now.

"Wow, your tale is quite what the word I'm searching for… is astonishing. Kakashi wasn't my sensei but Anko, my best friend isn't Sasuke Uchiha but Shikamaru. I never had a crush on Sakura but Ino; my teammates included Shion and Haku. Jiraiya was asked to be the Hokage after Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage, Jiraiya accepted because his loyalty to our village. He knew that Tsunade wouldn't make a good Hokage. Jiraiya trained me that part is true because he trained my father as well. Maybe you had some sort of delusional breakdown or maybe one of the Yamanka clan members did something to you…by accident I hope. As for you and me being married, we rarely talked and you made it very clear that we would never be friends because Hanabi loved me. Your exact words were"anything she loves, I'll destroy." As Naruto looked at her.

"Wait get Ino, she can read my mind and tell you the truth."

"Ino's dead Hinata, you know that better than anyone!" Naruto said that with anger in his voice.

"What happened? Did she die on a mission?" As Hinata looked ready to cry.

"You sacrificed her for nothing to complete a mission. Your other teammate gave his report, since we really don't know the full details about what truly happened you were found innocent. The Yamanka clan hates your very existence, it's probably their doing but your stories are too real sounding for you to be under their jutsu. I want you to report to the hospital and stay the night, maybe then your true memories will resurface." As they got up and left the room, she felt her heart breaking. What if this wasn't some jutsu, what if she was crazy? How did she imagine all of this from a child to an adult? As she looked at her finger she saw her wedding band, as she pulled it off she looked inside and read the inscription.

Hinata I love you, Kiba.


As Shikamaru helped admit Hinata to the hospital, he asked her was there anything she needed. Hinata just shook her head no and laid on her hospital bed. As she closed her eyes, she heard a faint voice calling out to her. It was almost incomprehensible but she caught a few words.

"Hinata… Life…Shattered… Not… Dream…Something… Different… Real…"

Hinata knew that voice it was Ino but she was nowhere around, just a voice way below a whisper.

"Ino is that you?"Am I under a genjutsu? Ino answer me, I need your help."

"Ino, you're talking to Ino now?" As Hanabi walked into the room.

Hinata didn't say anything.

"I just came here to say this to you big sister, if you as so much as hurt Naruto, I'll kill you. If this is some sort of plan to kill me or my children, I'll kill you. I had enough of your treachery to last a lifetime. Don't come back to my house again! Sleep well Hinata Inuzuka, may your dreams bring you peace and your nightmares bring you death." Hanabi walked out the room.

"This isn't real, this isn't real. My life is with Naruto, I'm not the person they say I am." Hinata kept telling herself until she heard that faint whisper again.

"Find… Home… Not …. Yours… Crazy… Wake… Must… Back…Help…" As the voice sounded like Ino.

"Am I dead as Hinata yelled to the ceiling?"

The voice disappeared and Hinata was alone. All she could hear was the ticking of the wall clock. Maybe tomorrow will be back to normal with her husband and children.
