Naruto was even more worried now. After taking Hinata to see Tsunade, she had immediately asked him to take her home and wouldn't explain why she looked even more sick than she did before, or what Tsunade had told her.
Naruto was currently where he spent most of his free time, lounging on top of the Fourth Hokage's head on Hokage Mountain. As he stared up at the passing clouds, he felt his eyelids get heavier and was pulled into a light sleep.
Naruto woke up in his mindscape. The pipes that always filled the hallways ran along the walls and ceiling while a few inches of water filled the floor. This time, Naruto knew he hadn't come here on his own, he was summoned. A demonic laughter emanated from one direction and Naruto grudgingly made his way toward the cage.
Naruto glared at the demon fox as he stopped as close as he dared to the gate, "What do you want this time you damn fox?"
The Kyuubi only continued to laugh, "I know you can feel it. The seal is growing weaker. Soon I will be free, and you will be dead."
"Fat chance. You think I'm just gonna let you get out?"
"But I've already gotten out. Don't tell me you haven't noticed the hours you seem to be missing, or how lately you've been waking up in odd places?"
Naruto had indeed noticed, and feared it might have something to do with Kyuubi, but had instead chalked it up to sleepwalking. Now he knew he couldn't deny it any longer.
"What have you done?"
"Just took over your body for a bit. Only a little taste of the freedom I'll soon have. Don't worry, I haven't killed anyone. Yet."
Naruto growled, "If you hurt anyone...!" Naruto stopped. He felt a jabbing pain in his head as his consciousness was pushed back into the far recesses of his mind.
Kyuubi laughed, "My turn."

Hinata returned home with the daunting prospect of telling her family about her current situation. Abortion was out of the question. Even if this was something she didn't want, Hinata wouldn't kill an innocent just because it stemmed from an evil act and a terrible memory. It wasn't the baby's fault and Hinata refused to deny it life simply because of the way it was created.
However, that still left her with how exactly she was going to tell her family. She decided to talk to Sakura about it. The two had become very close in the past few years and since she already knew about what happened, it would make it easier to tell her what was happening now.
Hinata then thought about Naruto. He had said he liked her. He had asked her out. It was all Hinata could ever wish for. Earlier that day, she thought that if she could hide what had happened to her, she just might be able to have a relationship with the boy she loved. But now, what was she going to do? There was no hiding a pregnancy, and even less chance of hiding a baby. Her future with Naruto was over before it even had a chance to begin.
As she once again curled up on her bed and cried herself to sleep, she thought about how she was going to tell her family and how they would react.

Naruto groaned as he lifted himself off the ground. He was in a clearing in the forest. All the trees within a hundred feet had been slashed or burnt to ashes. He had a raging headache. Naruto had no idea how long he'd been out or how much damage had been caused, but he was determined to find out. 'Damn fox...'
In the back of his mind, the demon laughed, 'Soon...'

(A.N. I was going to stop here but I decided not to, it would just be too cruel.)
Hinata woke up the next morning and walked over to Sakura's house. After fifteen minutes of stuttering, Hinata managed to tell Sakura what was wrong. She then spent the next fifteen minutes crying in Sakura's arms.
Sakura just rubbed Hinata's back trying to calm her down. The Hyuuga heiress was too good of a person to be put through all this. After Hinata calmed down, Sakura asked the question she had wanted to ask fifteen minutes ago, "What will you do?"
Hinata wiped her eyes and with much more stuttering told of her plans to keep the baby. Then, with a fresh new batch of tears rolling down her face, she told of her fear of her family's rejection and Naruto finding out after he had finally told her he felt the same way.
Sakura felt even more sorry for Hinata. Her belief in not harming the innocent wouldn't allow her to get an abortion, and to top it all off, the boy she had liked practically her entire life had just confessed at the worst possible time.
"Hinata, if you need help, I can go to your house with you and tell them."
This just made Hinata break down again and hug Sakura with a chorus of "thank you".

To say Naruto was relieved was an understatement. Other than that one area of forest, nothing else seemed to be harmed in any way.
Despite that, he was still faced with what he was supposed to do with a weakening seal. He made his way to Hokage Tower to see Tsunade.
After waiting a grueling half hour, he was let into the office.
"What did you need Naruto-kun?"
"You see Baa-chan, there seems to be some trouble with the seal. Kyuubi's been getting out."
"What do you mean getting out?!"
"The seal's weakened. I just found out that the recent blackouts I've been having are because he's been taking over my body."
Tsunade was panicked, "How long until he breaks free?"
"I don't know." Naruto's head drooped.
Tsunade massaged her temples, "Jiraiya's supposed to be back tomorrow. Come back here at noon and try to keep the demon under control."
Naruto nodded and made for the door. As he stepped out, he ran into Shizune carrying a load of files. Apologizing, he helped her pick them up and watched her continue down the hallway. It was then that he looked down and realized he missed one. About to run it over to Shizune, he stopped when he saw the name on the file: Hyuuga, Hinata.
Curiosity got the better of him and he opened the file. Perhaps it would explain why Hinata had been acting so weird the past month. He skimmed through the file and stopped at a line near the bottom: Pregnancy test - Positive.
Naruto dropped the file and ran as fast as he could out of the tower.

Honorifics Explained (Taken from Del-Ray Manga):
-san: This is the most common honorific, and is equivalent to Mr., Miss, Ms., or Mrs. It is the all-purpose honorific and can be used in any situation where politeness is required.
-kun: This suffix is used at the end of boys' names to express familiarity or endearment. It is also sometimes used by men among friends, or when addressing someone younger or of a lower station.
-chan: This is used to express endearment, mostly towards girls. It is also used for little boys, pets, and even among lovers. It gives a sense of childish cuteness.
-baa-chan: This is used when addressing a familiar middle-aged or older woman, such as a family friend or relative.
