Chapter 2: Naruto the Babysitter
It has been hours since Hinata had left. The sun had risen and it was particularly warm today. It was around noon and we find our favorite knuckle-headed ninja asleep in the couch with an arm dangling and the remote for the TV on the floor. The TV was airing some random info commercial about soap when small cries could be heard from upstairs. He started to wave his hand that was still on the couch, in the air, and made a shh-ing noise with his lips. The cries suddenly got louder as Naruto abruptly sat up, as he remembered about his son. With an adrenaline rush, he sped up stairs and into his son's room. The cries got even louder as he got closer to his son's room. Panic-stricken, Naruto lifted the baby into his tanned arms and started to bounce him up and down. When the cries got even louder with each bounce, he ran with him into the kitchen and looked for the baby schedule Hinata usually kept posted on the fridge. Searching for what to do at noon he saw that it read, ' feed milk bottle.' 'That was it?' He thought as he reached for a clean bottle, got the milk out, poured it with one hand, spilled the milk and finally ended up putting his son on a high chair as he prepared the milk. The infants' cries got longer with each passing minute. Naruto put the cold milk in the microwave and tested the milk as it came out. Seeing it fine, he lifted Eniki and started to feed him the milk. Eniki drank it greedily. Naruto gave a lout, relived sigh as the cries ended. He looked down at his son's pearl-like eyes. They were his wife's eyes. Hiashi was so proud when Hinata had delivered the next heir and he had the same kekkei-genkia. The infant in his arms left the bottle in loud slurps.
"Heh, you're kind of cute, aren't you?" Naruto said as the infant spit up. "Never mind." He checked the list to see what he needed to do next. It read:
12:30 Feed food 1:00 take a walk2:00 go shopping3-4:00 take afternoon nap5:00 snack5:30 take a bath6:00 get ready for bed7:00 go to bed
'Geez no wonder he always wakes up around midnight! He goes to sleep so early!' Naruto thought as he looked for Eniki's baby food. Once he found the cabinet containing all the food, he found only one left and it was roast beef with potatoes.
"Ew. I admire you for eating this stuff, Eniki," Naruto said as he unscrewed the top and started to feed Eniki. The infant moved his head in the opposite way the spoon came every time.
Naruto sighed. "Fine, be that way. I guess I have to try something else……………Oh, I know! Look Eniki! The ninja's coming and he needs some place to hide! What's that? There's a cave nearby, you say? I don't see one? Eniki why don't you open your mouth to see if we can see the cave?" The infant gave him a suspicious look as he lifted a hand and swatted the hand that held the container of baby food, spilling its contents on the floor. The blond sighed deeply frustrated. He kneeled on the ground to pick up the food when, suddenly there was a knock on the door. He sighed again; this was not his day.
"Stay here. Um, I'll be right back," he said to the laughing infant. With baby food filled hands and clothes he opened the door to revile another Hyuuga.
"Hi Naruto! Nee-san asked if I could check-up on you. From what I see, you need a lot of help," said the younger girl.
"Oh, hey Hanabi. Glad you're here. You can take Eniki for a while so I can clean the floor." Naruto told the younger teen as she slipped off her shoes and walked inside.
Said girl walked into the kitchen to find the infant a mess, while playing with a goop of food in front of him and laughing. More food was on the cabinets and floor. The infant laughed, whole-heartedly as Hanabi giggled at the scene.
"No offense, Naruto, but it looks like some kind of wind involving food just hit." She said. Hanabi walked over to Eniki and unlatched him out of his chair. There was a comfortable silence.
Naruto was the first to break it. While he cleaned the floor, he spoke, "So how's it going with your friends and the life as a kunoichi?"
Hanabi sat on a couch, while Eniki played in her lap. She sighed deeply, "Well it's not what I would have expected it to be. I thought that as soon as I was a kunoichi, father would stop pressuring me to over power Hinata-nee-san and become the truthful heir to the Hyuuga clan. But I guess not." She swatted a small fist away from her hair as Eniki reached for her long black locks. Then a small hand reached down her camouflage green tank top. She pulled the small hand out with a. "no, no Eniki."
"So no missions today, huh?" Naruto asked as he finished cleaning the kitchen.
"No. I've been looking for Moegi-chan and Kono-kun for a while, you know, just to get out of the house. Maybe I'll go train or something." She said as Naruto handed her a wet towel to clean Eniki's face and hands.
Naruto had a mischievous grin, "So…you call him Kono-kun huh?"
"Well…. you know, we're really close and all so I just well…" the thirteen-year-old girl said with a blush to match Hinata's. She started to fidget with her hands in a very un-Hanabi-like gesture.
"Hanabi, I know Konohamaru like a brother and from sources I happen to know he has a crush on a Hyuuga for about two-years now." Naruto told the blushing Hyuuga.
Pearl eyes looked up with a blush. Joy dancing in her pupils-eyes. "Really?"
"I don't know. Why don't you go ask him yourself?"
"Naruto, you do realize that I'm well aware of you're history of pranks, right?"
"Really, well then, if you don't believe me then why don't you go ask Moegi? She is your best friend right?"
"Well yeah but…."
"But what? Hanabi, as your brother-in-law no, scratch that, as your friend, why are you still on my couch holding my son?"
"Um…. well…you know what, Naruto, you're right! I'll see you later!" she stood up, handed Naruto Eniki, kissed his cheek, slipped on her shoes and left.
The blond just stood there with the infant pulling at his long, spiky, locks and stared at the door. "Can't believe she was just happy!" he whispered as Eniki laughed. "We should start to head out, Eniki. Hinata-chan probably wants us to buy more baby food for you."
Hm…. Roast beef, no…. corn, nah…where's the ramen flavored food?" Naruto yelled.
"Um, sir, can I help you with something?" a man asked. He wore khaki pants, light blue short-sleeved shirt and a green vest.
Naruto looked at the man's green eyes with suspicion and said, "Yes, you can. Can you tell me where you keep your ramen flavored baby food?"
"Um, I'm sorry, sir but we don't have any ramen flavored baby food." The man said.
"What do you mean you don't sell ramen flavored baby food?" the blond cried as he pushed Eniki in his carrier, while the infant laughed and played with his toys.
"Dobe, you're making a scene," a cool voice said.
"Hey, Sasuke-teme! Are you carrying Rei in that carriage?" Naruto said as he left the man and walked towards his best friend/ rival. He bent down and say the eleven-month old Uchiha sleeping. The blond poked the infant's cheek as Rei awoke and began to cry.
"Dobe what did you do know?" Sasuke asked.
"I didn't do anything, teme!" Naruto yelled back.
"Hn…. just get back to shopping you wife's food."
"Hey!"
"What?"
"You used longer words! Are you sure you're the teme?"
"Hn."
"Fine, but what are you doing here anyways?"
"What do you think, dobe? I'm shopping for groceries!"
"Well, what kind?"
"Tomatoes."
"Sasuke-teme, no offense, but you have an unnatural obsession with that fruit."
"Hn…whatever dobe. I'll see you later."
"Bye teme! Oh, the ramen isle!" the blond ran towards his favorite isle.
"Mm…ramen!" said the blond, carrying bags of groceries and pushing a baby carriage. He walked towards the park where he found a familiar bun-headed brunette. She was sitting on a bench, playing with her year-old son. "Hey Tenten."
Said brunette looked up. "Oh hey Naruto! How you been?"
"Just peachy! How 'bout you and Kenji?"
"Oh, well I was sick for a week so Neji was in charge of little Kenji. He refuses to change his own son's diaper now. I don't know why but lucky Kenji didn't catch anything."
"Well that's good. Did Neji catch anything?"
"No, he didn't either. Hey Naruto, where's Eniki-kun? I want to see how big he's gotten!"
"What do you mean 'where is he' he's right here!" Naruto pointed to the empty baby stroller. He looked down, "crap."
"Naruto what have you done!" Tenten shrieked.
"Um, I don't know what happened! Last thing I remember was shopping, meeting up with Sasuke-teme, looking at ramen, paying and meeting you!"
"Well I suggest you go back to the store and search for Eniki because you never really tightened the seat so he could've gotten out easily!"
"I'm an idiot! Tenten please don't ever mention this to Hinata-chan! Can you watch my stuff while I go and search for him, please?"
"Sure."
"Thanks Tenten! Bye!"
"Bye"
"Hey there little guy! What are you doing in this section of the books? You shouldn't be here at all. Come on; let's look for you parents. I'm sure you're making someone very worried about you." The man, with white hair, said as he picked the infant off the ground and put the book he had in his and the child's hands back on the shelf and walked towards a chair.
WITH NARUTO
"Eniki! ENIKI, where are you!" he called out. When he left the park, rushing into the very store that resembles what most people call today a 'wal-mart super center,' he was searching under every nuke and cranny at the store. In the electronics, frozen foods, feminine products,(he blushed every second he was there) clothing isles and the fast-food restaurants. As he rounded the corner, to begin his search in the book section, he found a familiar white haired man carrying his two-year-old daughter on his shoulders. His daughter had light purple hair with white streaks and brown eyes. She wore long hair reaching her mid-back, a white shirt with blue sleeves, and blue shorts.
"Hi uncle Nawuto!" said the little girl on Kakashi's shoulders.
"Hey Mimei, Kakashi-sensei. What are you two doing here?" Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head, sheepishly.
"Duh. What do you think we're doing here, Uncle Nawuto! We're shopping for my mommy but daddy here won't stop looking at the books!" Mimei said as she puller on her father's spiky hair to try to look some place else.
Naruto looked at the silly attempt to get his old sensei to look away from his precious 'Icha, Icha,' forgetting all about his son.
Kakashi, still looking down, asked the blond, "So, Naruto, how's Hinata and Eniki?"
Suddenly, Naruto's eyes opened wide and said, "Man I totally forgot! I got to go Kakashi-sensei! I'll see you guys' later, bye Mimei! Tell your mom 'hi' for me!"
"Bye Uncle Nawuto!" Mimei said as she continued to pull her father away. "Daddy if we don't leave soon, I'm going to tell mommy you were reading again."
Kakashi looked up and put his precious book back as he asked, "So, Mimei, what's next on the list?" Mimei smiled.
Back with Naruto, he was on the verge of going to Tsunade to report a 'little person's report' as he rounded the corner and spotted a certain long hair sannin. He practically sighed out loud as he walked towards him.
"Oh, hello Naruto. Look what I found crawling the isles earlier! He must be a Hyuuga from his eye color. I don't know any Hyuuga clan members with such a cute kid but he is attracting the ladies!" he said as Eniki laughed and gurgled in his lap.
Sigh. "Ero-sensei you know very well who's kid that is and you know how much trouble I'll be in if Hinata-chan ever found out I lost Eniki so hand him over." Naruto said as he grabbed the infant and walked off without another word. As Naruto walked towards the park, he ignored any shouts at him for 'stealing someone's son' as he grabbed his things from Tenten and said his thanks as he walked home. As he reached his two-story house, he dropped everything and put Eniki on the couch as he, also, dropped on the other couch. As he started to drift off to sleep, crying was heard from the infant. The blond moaned and grunted as he got to lift Eniki and went to check the schedule again. '3-4:00 take a nap' it read. As he read it and looked down at Eniki, the infant's wails became sniffles as Naruto rocked him slowly. Soon he was fast asleep. Naruto walked towards the couch and lay down with Eniki on his stomach and fell asleep.
Around five o'clock, someone knocked on the door. The blond sat up, abruptly, awakening the infant on his stomach. Cries filled the room as Naruto groaned as he lifted Eniki and reached the door. There stood Hanabi with her arms folded, foot taping and eyes closed.
She opened her eyes and spoke, "finally! How long does it take to answer the door, Naruto?" Naruto mumbled something incoherently as he stepped aside to let Hanabi in. "I see you haven't done anything about the crying yet Naruto."
"Well I had answer the door so I couldn't do anything. Besides, it's his snack time, Hanabi."
"Oh, I get it, you want me to feed him?"
"Please?"
"Fine, Naruto. Go get his food ready while I strap him in." The younger teen said as she walked towards the kitchen, following Naruto and Eniki.
As she fed Eniki, Naruto looked down at the food he had prepared for himself as Eniki ate.
"So what have you two been up to all day, Naruto?" Hanabi asked striking up a conversation to the unusually quiet blond.
"Well after you left, we just went shopping and to the park, nothing exciting," Naruto said, lying through his teeth.
"Oh, really? Well I had a nice day also. I went shopping with Moegi-chan and sparred with Kono-kun. Then he took me out to lunch and I met up with Moegi and then I came here." She said happily.
"You know, Hanabi, I've known you for a while now and I've never seen you that happy."
"Yeah, I guess you're right, I don't smile a lot. But when you're a shinobi, there's not a lot to be happy about, I mean, you're killing people for a job."
"Yeah, I guess you're right, but still, we can't do anything about it. We choose this as our career for the rest of our life."
Hanabi nodded and put the spoon down, as she watched Eniki process his food. Suddenly, she got up and walked towards the door and said, "I have to go or else father won't be to happy. I'll see you around, Naruto," as she left.
Naruto finished his food and got up to empty his plate. He put the dishes in the sink as he walked back to Eniki to unstrap him. He glanced at the schedule to see it was bath time. "Come on Eniki. It's bath time!" Naruto said happily. The infant gurgled happily and clapped his hands together. He climbed the stairs and into the bathroom. He started to get everything ready as he put Eniki on the floor with toys to play with. When Naruto decided the water was warm enough, He lifted Eniki on the sink and began to undress him. Then he slowly slid him into the baby chair to bathe him. Eniki began to squirm around and soon both of them had a water fight going on. They laughed and Naruto finished bathing Eniki. He grabbed a white towel and wrapped Eniki and took him to his room. He lay Eniki on the king-sized bed and began to dry him. He grabbed a diaper and slipped on the rest of his clothes, unsuccessfully. Finally, Eniki gave a small yawn as he stopped squirming and Naruto could dress him. Through sleepy eyes, Eniki looked at Naruto's azure eyes, and yawned lightly.
"Come on, little guy, let's go get your bottle and head for the hay." Naruto said as he lifted Eniki and they headed for the kitchen.
A little later, Eniki was slurping his bottle in Naruto's arms, as Naruto rocked him, rhythmically. As the infant finished his milk, they lay on the couch and both left for dreamland. A little after both had fallen asleep, Hinata had come home and found he two boys asleep on the couch. She walked up to them and kissed Naruto's lips, tenderly. Azure met lavender as the blond awoke.
"Hey, Hina-chan, so how was your day?" Naruto asked, groggily.
She laughed softly and said, "Good Naruto-kun. How 'bout yours?"
"Augh, I don't know how you girls do it and still not be as tired as I look. Sigh. You can have him now, Hina-chan, I'm going to bed." Naruto said as he got up and handed a sleeping Eniki to Hinata as he pecked he lips and walked up stairs. Hinata giggled as she followed him up stairs and walked towards her son's room. As she lay him down, she kissed his forehead and left towards her own room. She found Naruto on the bed, asleep, as she changed into her silk, lavender nightgown. She went to the bathroom and got ready for bed, once done; she left the bathroom and made her way to the bed. She lifted the covers and made her way towards the blond. A pair of strong, muscular arms wrapped themselves around her petite form and a head found its way into the crook of her neck. She snuggled deeper into the embrace and turned to face him. She scooted closer to his face and kissed him lightly.
"Goodnight Naruto-kun."
"Goodnight, Hinata-chan." He said as he kissed her back and the both fell into a light slumber in each other's embrace.
