Legacy
September
a/n This story has been in my head for… 5 years now? It finally needed to come out, and this is my first story, but also probably my only. Also, I do not own Naruto.
Mhmm…
The light filtered through Hinata's eyes, making her eyelids open. Everything hurt, but the pain in her abdomen was thoroughly intense. Trying to block out the pain, she focused on her surroundings. She was in a large makeshift tent of sorts, with beds and people everywhere. Some were hustling around, while others were lying down.
…Wh..where am I?
When the pain eased off a little she decided to try and sit up. It took a little effort, but she managed. Feeling the room spin, she went and threw up in the trash can next to her bed. After a few minutes Iruka passed by, noticing the vomit.
"Hey Hinata, glad to see your finally up! You had us really worried there, but everyone will be glad to hear your finally out of our coma."
Coma! "Umm Iruka- sensei, what happened? And if you don't mind, where am I?"
"Well your outside of the Konoha hospital. After the war, we had so many casualties and injuries, they had to have a make sift tent to deal with all the patients. After we decided you were stable enough, we moved you out here. Hinata, what's the last thing you actually remember?
"Umm.." She paused to think for a minute, "I remember Kiba, Shino and I finding Naruto with Kakashi and Gai fighting Tobi, and I stepped in to help. After that, nothing."
Iruka sighed. "Alright you have a lot of catching up to do then. And I'm going to give you all the events up til now. Some are a little painful, but you'll find them out sooner or later anyways."
"So you saw Naruto and Tobi fighting, and when you stepped in, you pulled another 'Pein episode' where because of you Tobi got distracted and Naruto got an opening to hit him. However, during that opening Tobi decided to shift his focus to you and attack, and it connected. You actually died out there this time Hinata. Naruto got back into nine tails mode and went after Tobi. However, when Naruto jumped back to evade an attack, he grounded one of his tails and shot a blast of chakra into you. It worked and brought you back to life, but your body doesn't know how to handle demon chakra and got burnt pretty badly. That's why you hurt so much. You were so unstable, the medics decided it would be best to put to into a coma to ease the suffering. Once you were well enough to overcome it, you would automatically get up. The medics also think the chakra will stay in your body for possibly a week more then you'll be back to normal."
She took that in for a minute. "So we won?"
"Yup, because of you Hinata. However, after when Kakashi and Gai were rushing to bring you back, Naruto stayed behind, and was confronted with Sasuke. The two just couldn't put their differences between them, and the battle ended up with both of their deaths. I'm so sorry Hinata. We all knew how much he meant to you."
Hinata looked down, immediately feeling tears well up in her eyes and start to fall. He's gone… the love of her life, dead. The world felt numb now. She looked under the covers and saw the burns afflicted on her body. They were pretty serious second and third degree burns all over her, but she felt nothing. Nothing really mattered any more. Iruka collected himself and began to walk away. "The funeral's in a week, if you want to come. I'm sure he'd enjoy it.'
"Iruka-sensei, if you don't mind. I'm feeling well enough to go home now, thank you."
"Alright, I'll tell the hospital you've checked out."
She really didn't feel well enough to walk home, but she needed to do something to get him off her mind. A simple ten minute walk to her house took hours, she was feeling so weak and dizzy. When she got home, however, Hanabi thank god noticed and helped her to her room.
"So you've been out cold for two weeks, and father lets you walk home, huh? I'm surprised he let you do that." That's the last thing Hinata heard her before she practically passed out in her bed.
Hinata woke up the next morning feeling sick again, threw up, and went to down in the kitchen for a while. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I'm still alive, but I can't wait for the demon charka to pass. Only two days, and I'm tired of the puking and pain…
The rest of her week passed by rather normally, the intensity of the pain subsided a lot, and she was healing fast, probably due to the chakra, but she still had no appetite and was throwing up every morning. Then came the day of the funeral. She hadn't been outside of the house much regaining her strength, and dealing with the depression of Naruto. She was getting emotionally better too, but today would be a doozy. She hadn't seen many of her friends either except for when they came to visit. She put on her bravest face, and started heading toward the graveyard.
All of Konoha seemed to be there to have one final celebration to honor their hero. Hinata found the section especially for fellow ninja and slipped in the group. The funeral passed by with so many tears, she couldn't remember much of it, her eyes were so watery, but it was nice that everybody gave her a special moment beside the casket of the man she loved, and most likely loved her too. The rain that day gave it a nice touch so nobody knew where her tears ended and the rain on her face began.
After the funeral, Hinata gather up enough of whatever she had left to pull Sakura aside. "Umm Sakura? I was told that the Kyuubi charka was supposed to be out of my system a few days ago, and I'm still suffering side effects. Can you take a look as to what's wrong?"
The pink haired kunoichi thought a minute. "That estimate you were given was supposed to be the longest scenario possible. In all reality, the chakra should've left around the time you woke up out of your coma. Come by the hospital tomorrow morning and I'll check you out."
"Hai!"
The next morning, Hinata made sure she was there early in the waiting room. The clammy whiteness of the hospital gave her the creeps a little knowing she was here before without any memory or permission. Without Naruto, she's pretty sure she would've rather died out there.
"Morning Hinata!"
"Good morning Saruka-san."
"Just follow me." Sakura led her to a small room with a small laying table and a few monitors. Hinata laid down and allowed Sakura to work. The girl's fingertips lit up blue and proceeded to scan over Hinata's stomach, feeling their way around. "Everything seems normal so far…" Sakura mumbled. She then went down to the lower reaches of her patient's abdomen. There it was; the issue. A small, but unmistakable disruption in Hinata's chakra channels. "It can't be…" Sakura mumbled.
Hinata panicked upon hearing this. "Wh..what's wrong?"
"I'm going just to ask you basic procedure questions to figure this out. Hinata, are you sexually active?"
Her face lit up cherry red, and she bolted upright. "N.. No! I've never done it!"
"Alright, just let me get Tsuande for a minute," and Sakura rushed out the door.
Was something wrong? Was she going the die? After what seemed like an eternity, Sakura came back in with the Hokage.
"Lay back down," Tsunade ordered, and her hands went down and felt where Sakura found the problem. "I can't believe it, but it's there," she mumbled.
"Tsunade- sama, what's wrong with me?" Her heart was hammering a mile a minute.
"Well…" Tsunade drew in a deep breath. "When you revived, the chakra went through your body and brought everything in you back to life. On that day, good or bad, you were ovulating, and Naruto's chakra brought those cells… to life as well. In other words, Hinata, you're pregnant."
