Chapter 2 – Liar, Liar
.
.
.
The day went by smoothly besides half the school looked like zombies. She opened her locker and pulled out her literature and math book. She smiled and closed her locker only to see hazel eyes looking back at her. She squeaked. "Kiba-kun," She breathed trying to catch her heart.
He grinned. "You remembered."
She nodded clutching her books to her chest. "Why w-wouldn't I?" She smiled.
He shrugged. "I don't know, so where are you going?"
She laughed pointing down the hall. "Lunch," She turned to him. "Where are you going?"
He tapped his chin. "Oh I am too!" He grinned. "I might as well walk you there." He ruffled his brown spikes. "If that's okay?"
She nodded. "It is," She grinned. "Though I am fully capable of walking there," He took her book before she could protest. "And I can carry those."
He shook his head. "I got it. I like your glasses makes me you look…" She looked up at him with a frown. He grinned. "I won't say it."
"Hinnnaaaaaa-chan!" She turned to see Naruto run up to her. "Hina-chan, I feel much better now!" He fist pumped. She laughed at his little dance. His cerulean eyes flickered to amber ones. "Why is he carrying your stuff?" His eyes lingered on the boy before coming back to lilac ones.
"I wanted to." Kiba replied.
"Why can't I hold your books?" He crossed his arms. "Are they too heavy? All you have to do is ask!" He snatched the books away. Kiba frowned. "Don't you worry, Hinata!"
She blinked. "Naruto?" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. "He was w-walking to me l-lunch!"
"Well, he has legs he can walk himself." He nodded. "I don't know him therefore I don't trust him."
"You h-haven't tried to…" She frowned. "That's not nice!" She popped his hand causing him to look at her with wide eyes. "Apologize, right now." He blinked as her 'mother mode' activated. She nodded grabbing her books. "Go, right now." He pouted and walked to find Kiba.
She smiled seeing Ino and Sakura standing in line. "Hey."
Sakura cooed. "You look adorably cute!" She hugged her.
"I told you," Ino giggled. "Come on, mama." She pulled her into line.
Hinata sighed grabbing her tray. "Naruto is acting weird."
Ino blinked picking up a fruit cup. "How?"
She shrugged. "Kiba-kun was walking to me lunch and he just… took me away."
"He is very protective of you, you know that." Sakura said picking up salad. Hinata nodded. "I wouldn't worry about it."
"You're right." Hinata whispered.
They nodded walking to the table. Sasuke was at another table talking to Karin and Kin. Karin smiled. "Hello my sexy Sasuke-kun," He rolled his eyes. "How may I help you?"
"I was talking to Kin."
Karin blinked. "W-What?"
"He said he was talking to me," She smiled flipping her hair before batting her eyes at him. "Yes, Sasuke-kun?" He nodded and sat down.
"Kin, I need a favor and I trust you for it…" He took her hand. She moaned in his touch. "I didn't get a chance to get Orochimaru-sensei's homework, can I see yours?"
She nodded quickly. "Of course you can!" She handed him the paper. She sighed as he kissed the back of her hand. "Oh…please… a-anything else, Sasuke-kun?"
He stood. "No, maybe next time." He winked and walked to the table. "God, that was easy."
"Hinata-chan?" She turned to see Shino. "May I speak to you?" She nodded giving him her full attention. He rubbed his neck "Uh…Privately." She laughed and got up grabbing her things.
"Of course."
He nodded as they walked together. "I don't know how he got me to do it but Kiba would like to ask to you sit with him."
Hinata smiled. "Why didn't he ask?"
"The twit is shy."
She looked ahead at the blushing brunette. "It's cute."
Ino pouted. "Awh, he got his friend to get her. He is shy!" Sakura nodded. Ino sighed. "Group meeting." Everyone moved in towards Sasuke since he wasn't about to move. "We can't just act like nothing happened."
Sakura sighed. "I'm so sorry, Sasuke."
He shrugged glancing up at them before back down at the homework. "Don't let it happen again," He looked at Naruto. "Forget everything I said."
"I can't forget it now." Naruto whispered.
Ino leaned over towards Naruto. "What can't you forget?"
Sasuke growled. "Not-"
"Sasuke told me Hinata-chan loves me."
Ino punched him in the arm. "You fucking blabber mouth." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
Naruto gasped. "You knew too," She nodded slowly. "Sakura?" She nodded. "You guys are dicks."
"Stop acting different you douchebag. She is noticing it…" Ino mumbled.
Naruto scoffed. "Okay, well what did Sakura do?"
Sakura shook her head. "It's not-"
"She tried sleeping with me and then asked me why I am keeping Daisuke a secret." Sasuke said flatly. Sakura put her head down.
Naruto gasped. "Sakura you get the crown of douche moves. Hinata would kill you if she heard that."
"I know. I'm sorry!"
Ino squeaked. "Shit, she's coming back. Be cool." They started eating again. Hinata sat down and looked around. "So, how did that go?"
She blinked and held her books to her face before gently stacking them. "I…" She covered her face again and groaned. "He is so sweet, you know?" She put a hand to her face.
Sakura leaned up. "What happened?"
She smiled. "He got Shino to ask me over and we talked and ate. He is just really nice."
Naruto looked up. "I am…" Sasuke kicked him in the knee. "Aarh!"
She looked at him to Sasuke who went back to writing. "Huh, Naruto?"
He shook his head. "I guess we have to be nice to the kid, ne?"
Sasuke scoffed. "I don't have to do anything."
Hinata rolled her eyes. "I am not going to let you kill my deliciously happy mood!" She stood up as the bell rang. "See you later!" She walked off.
They gawked for a moment. Sasuke stood giving Kin her homework back. Naruto stood. "You're not worried about that?"
He smirked stuffing his hands in his pockets. "Why would I?" After saying that he walked off.
Sakura covered her face. "I feel so bad."
Ino stood. "I didn't do anything this time, yay me." She stood. "Now all of you have to sit around with your little problems." She strutted away.
Naruto growled. "That's Ino."
Sakura nodded.
.
"Come ooooooon," Naruto whined seeing Hinata sit with Kiba. "This all you guys fault!"
"How?" Sasuke smirked.
He stood up pointing to Sakura. "Sakura was all like Sasuke is hot," He turned to the blonde on her phone. "Ino was all batting her eyes and calling her all those little names." She scoffed and shot a bird at him.
"You said it, dobe." Sasuke folded his arms fighting the urge to smile. "Are you," He leaned forward. "Jealous?"
He plopped down. "Shut up," He sighed. "I just don't know the guy and I don't trust it. It's my Kyuubi telling me."
"You mean conscious?" Sakura asked.
He nodded. "Yeah that!"
They groaned. "You're such an idiot." Sasuke closed his eyes feeling his phone vibrate.
Mom: I think Daisuke is sick?
He looked over at Hinata reading her phone. His mom is that phone savvy to send two messages to different people.
Sasuke (To Mom): How do you think?
He rubbed his temples. "Fucking great." Now Hinata was going to flip her shit.
Hinata: Did you get your mom's text?
Sasuke (To Hinata): Yes.
He watched her press her index fingers together. Great, now she was worried.
Mom: Well, he is sneezing, coughing, and… going poopy a lot. I'm not a doctor but that seems sick to me. I'm taking him to the Children's Doctor.
Hinata: Do you think we can just sign out after this class?
Sasuke (To Hinata): Sure.
Sasuke (To Mom): We are coming after this class. Call the office and sign us out.
He put his head on the desk. How did he get sick? He was sneezing a bit last week but it wasn't serious. Probably just a common cold but knowing Hinata was registering it as the end of the world. Naruto touched Sasuke shoulder. "You okay dude?"
He sighed. "Daisuke is sick."
They all looked over at Hinata who was fidgeting. "Oh crap," Ino mumbled. "She looks like she is going to faint."
Sasuke shrugged. "She's always like that."
"How are you so nonchalant?" Naruto asked.
"I'm not worried."
"Buzz Buzz: Mr. Hatake?"
"Yes?" Kakashi didn't take his nose out of his book.
"Please excuse Hinata Hyuuga… and uh… Sasuke Uchiha to sign out?" The class looked back at the two.
"Sure," He pointed to the door. Hinata all but ran to the door. Sasuke put his things up and slung his bag over his shoulder. He walked over without saying another word.
.
"Hinata, calm the hell down." Sasuke muttered.
She was moving around her seat. "B-But he… my baby…" She sniffled. "He was fine this morning."
"He is a kid. They get sick. Calm down."
She nodded tapping her feet. "Okay, Saaasuke hurry!" She pulled at her hair.
"Seriously, should I just put the car in transformer mode and jump over the cars?" He pointed to the traffic.
She stared at him before laughing. "You've been watching too much TV"
He sighed. "Yeah, well it happens."
She looked at him. "Sasuke, why is everyone acting so weird?"
"Again, seriously how would you know?" He looked over. "Everyone seems fine to me."
"Well, it's like Ino is hiding something. Naruto was being very weird, like over protective and Sakura is looking at me like she wants to apologize."
Sasuke eye twitched. She was good. "What about me? Am I hiding something?"
She stared at him for a moment. He regretted asking her. She sighed. "You did something you regret."
He looked over at her. "Hinata…"
She shrugged. "Just a feeling, right?" She crossed her arms. "You kissed Sakura is that why she is looking like that? I told her she didn't have to that! I mean really, you have a kid with someone and you're supposed to be off limits." She threw her arms in the air. "I don't care what you do, you know?"
He smirked. "Yeah, we kissed."
She nodded before tapping her chin. "But that's not it…"
"Do you really want to know?"
She gasped. "Oh god, did you get her pregnant too?"
He slammed on brakes. "Hell no!" Ignoring the horns honking at him.
She jerked forward before sighing. "Oh, okay. That would have been horrible pink haired-black eyed babies." She laughed. "I think she would do it to, knowing Sakura."
He looked at her in disgust. "She asked me, while she was drunk, why am I keeping Daisuke a secret?"
She blinked. "You aren't, right?"
"It's not my first conversational starter."
She nodded. "I don't want his business out there, you're really popular and…" She wrung her hands watching the Hospital come into view.
His eye twitched. "And what?"
"And you would…" She sighed. "I just want a normal senior year, kind of…" She laughed. "Pretty selfish, but it's true. Why would she even say that?"
"I wouldn't sleep with her?" He muttered holding into the Children's Hospital.
"Why?"
"Are you really asking me that?" He got out. She walked around the car.
"Yes," She said like she was asking herself. "I know she wants to… you know…"
He stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Too much hassle. She's just a friend, simple." Hinata nodded and walked to counter asking for Daisuke Uchiha. She gave them the room number. Hinata smiled. That's the only thing her father didn't like besides Sasuke; was giving him Sasuke's last name. Yeah, they weren't together but for the sake of Daisuke she did it besides it didn't matter to her either way.
Sasuke asked her which was like sealing the deal that he was serious about raising a kid.
Her father refused to have a baby living with him so they gave them a nice apartment close to school. The parents decided as a whole for the sake of 'good business' they take Hinata out of school for the rest of freshman year.
She was so pissed off but eventually got over it. Ino, Sasuke and Naruto came over religiously. She knew Sakura felt resentment towards her because she loved Sasuke and it just wasn't fair. Hinata cussed her out and told her to get out of her sight. When Daisuke finally came she was there for her, so they made up reluctantly.
"Hinata," She blinked looking up at Sasuke. "You ready?" She nodded. They walked in Daisuke was sitting up playing with an action figure.
"Dai-kun!" Hinata hugged him.
"Mama, I fiiiine!" He grinned.
Sasuke walked to his mother. "What did the doctor say?"
"She hadn't come in yet, we just got here. I tried to find some medicine."
Hinata groaned clapping her hands together. "I forgot to buy more." She pouted. "Sorry, baby." He giggled and hugged her.
"Hinata just sit down," Sasuke pointed to an open chair.
"I'm fine."
"He isn't going anywhere just sit down."
She sighed and sat down. Mikoto patted her leg. "Uchiha men, deary..." She nodded at the woman.
"Daddy, can I get a boxdink?"
He grinned. Sasuke was almost positive that had to be his 'catch phrase' or 'motto' in Daisuke mind if something bad happens drink some juice and it will all be fine. "You know, I could go for a boxdink." He ruffled his hair. "But I missed class so you better sick."
He laughed. "I'm no sick."
"How do you know that?"
He shrugged. "Batman no get sick."
"Yeah, well you're Daisuke not Batman."
He sniffled. "But… I…" He rubbed his nose. "Daddy…"
Sasuke sighed. "You can be batman, for now."
He cheered as the door opened revealing a slim, dark haired woman. "Hello, I'm Shizune. I will be your child's doctor." She walked to Mikoto.
She shook her head readjusting her purse on her lap. "No, I'm the grandma," She pointed to a blushing Hinata. "That's mama."
The woman blinked. "Oh, sorry!" She laughed. "I am Shizune you're son's doctor." Hinata nodded. She turned to Sasuke. "Father?"
"Yeah."
"Alright, well let's see what's wrong with Daisuke." She smiled at him. Daisuke grabbed Sasuke hand. "What's the problem?"
He looked at Sasuke. "Well, are you going to tell her?"
"But Daddy…" He sniffled.
"Big boy words," Sasuke frowned. "Tell her how you feel."
He nodded. "My tummy is f-funny. My nose is runny a-and my poop is…" He shook his head throwing his arms in the air. "Nasty!" She nodded. "My," He pointed at his throat. "is all…" He rubbed his hands together. "Oww…"
"Sounds to me like you have a cold."
Sasuke sighed. "All of that for a cold? I thought you weren't sick."
"I no sick." He shrugged. "She said cold. I'm no cold. I feel good."
Hinata giggled. Shizune smiled. "I'll get you some medicine to give him." They nodded.
Sasuke sighed. "That was-"
"Sasuke, have you gotten your shots yet?" Mikoto asked.
His eyes twitched. "Mom, stop."
"We can do that if you like?" Shizune smiled.
She nodded ignoring Sasuke's glare. "Well, let's do it."
"Mother!" He growled. Hinata and Daisuke laughed.
"Sasuke trade seats with Daisuke please. I will be back in a moment and remove your shirt." She walked out.
Daisuke crawled into Hinata's lap. "You'll be fine, Sasuke." She smiled.
He narrowed his eyes. "Do you have your shots?"
She nodded. "All of them."
Sasuke bit his lip. "Are they taking my blood?"
Mikoto frowned. "No, hopefully."
"You don't sound sure. They'll find…" He trailed off grumbling about killing Naruto later. The door opened she had three needles in her hand. "What are you doing?"
"You're eighteen, right?"
"Yeah…"
"Happy eighteen year checkup," She smiled. "Off with the shirt."
"I can't give blood I drank three cups of coffee, I hear that's bad." He lied pulling off his shirt.
She blinked trying to rid herself of the blush at found her face. "We're not taking blood and that is a lot of… coffee." He shrugged putting his shirt behind him.
Hinata watched her prepare the needles. Daisuke laughed. "Look at my belly too!" He lifted his shirt up showing off his belly. She smiled as the doctor touched his arms.
Hinata had to admit Sasuke wasn't in the least bit bad-looking. He was very fit and lean. His raven hair hung over his face trying to see what she was doing. He had a few scars along his body for sports and Naruto. He had a tattoo on the crook of his neck.
"Why is it taking you so long?"
"I'm t-trying to find you v-vein." She ran her hand along his arm.
He scoffed. "I am pale. You can see the fucking veins," He sighed. "Shit, I… don't say those words. Bad words."
Hinata frowned bouncing Daisuke on her lap. "Sasuke, be still."
"I am!" He gritted out.
"Found it." She smiled sticking him.
"No warning?" He snarled as she put on a Band-Aid.
"Other arm." She almost sang.
He was amazed. Not only was his son in the room, but his mother and HIS mother yet this woman is still trying to feel on him. "Sure you don't want to check my chest for a pulse?" He snapped.
She blinked and laughed sticking him in the arm. She put Band-Aid on them. "I was going to take your blood it would come out weird because your caffeine levels."
"Cool." He put on his shirt. "Let's go."
.
.
.
They went to pick up Daisuke's medicine. "I swear the nerve of some people." Sasuke held Daisuke who fell asleep. "I can't find your vein." He mocked the doctor.
She laughed. "Uh-huh."
"Well she got on my last nerve."
Hinata covered my mouth. "Good one," She went to the pharmacy. "Prescription for Daisuke Uchiha?" The man nodded and came back soon after. "Thank you."
"Can we leave now?"
"We need some stuff for the house." She walked along the aisles. "Do we have milk?" He shrugged pushing Daisuke up. "I'm getting it just in case." She put some in the cart. "Do we have cereal?"
"I think."
"Do you know anything?"
He nodded. "That he is getting heavier by the day."
She smiled. "He is growing."
He scoffed. "I know that," He picked up a loaf of bread. "We need that." She nodded. "You should get a box of boxdinks"
She laughed. "He loves his boxdinks." She picked on a box. "But you like them too…" He shrugged.
"If crack had a juice it would be called boxdink"
She nodded. "Let's fill our son with crack."
"You probably shouldn't say that too loud," He pointed at the old women frowning at her. "They might think you're serious."
Hinata covered her mouth. "Oops."
Sasuke put Daisuke in the buggy. "I give," He looked over at her looking in her purse. "Are we finished yet?"
She pulled out a list. "I made a list last night!" She looked at the list. "To the pasta aisle." She looked down into onyx eyes. "You're up?" She cooed.
He stuck his lip out reaching for her. "Maa…"
"I have to get the stuff because your father is a butt."
He giggled looking at his frowning father. "Daddy!" He reached out but Sasuke turned away. "Nooo…" He clenched and unclenched his hands. "I no like this." He touched the seat.
"Yeah, well you're pretty heavy."
He grumbled. "But… you're strongest!"
Hinata smiled walking off. This was his battle now. She walked past the aisles. "Now where is…"
"Hinata?"
She froze turning slowly to dark brown eyes. "Tenten?"
The brunette tackled her. "Oh, my little Hinata-chan how are you?"
She nodded slowly. "I'm fine… but why are you here?" Tenten had graduated last year and went right to college that and she had her hair down freely. "Your buns have they retired?"
"I hid the hairbands." She turned to the male voice.
"Neji?" She turned to Tenten. "W-What is going on?"
Tenten laughed. "Your cousin is a jerk. Do you know how irritating wearing my hair down is?" She ran a hand through her chocolate locks.
Hinata nodded. "That's not answering my question."
Neji grinned. "Tenten is my roommate." The girl nodded as he hugged her. "And my girlfriend."
Hinata stepped back. "Stop lying!"
Tenten grinned at the wide eyed girl. "We're not…"
Hinata punched Neji in the arm. "You said 'No, I can't stand her. That will never ever happen,'" She looked at Tenten. "And you too!"
"I guess you should never say never, huh?" Neji smiled. "Are you here alone? Where's my nephew?"
Hinata smiled. "Somewhere around he-"
"There you are," Sasuke growled. Daisuke ran around the corner. "We were looking for you."
"Sorry." She smiled as Daisuke latched onto Neji's leg.
"Buddy!" He picked him up.
Daisuke laughed. "Uncly Neji!" He hugged him tight. "I missed you!"
"I missed you too," He looked at Sasuke to Hinata. "Have they been getting along?"
Daisuke looked at his parents. "YEASH!"
"Very good."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Are we done now?"
Tenten squeezed his cheek. "Look at Sasuke being a daddy!" He groaned. "I didn't think you had it in you."
He pried her hand off his face. "Well, shows you." He rubbed his face.
Hinata sighed. "We're done, I guess."
Daisuke got down and latched onto Hinata. "Where uncly going?"
"He has to go home."
"Why?"
"I am not playing the 'Why' with you."
He giggled. "Why mama?"
She put him in the buggy. "I hope I get to see you again before you leave."
He nodded. "We are staying with your dad for the time being, until break is over but he actually wanted me to invite you all to the house for dinner."
She blinked while Sasuke groaned. "Oh… when?"
"Well it's Monday," He tapped his chin. "I'm thinking he meant tonight."
"But I-"
"You know how Hiashi is…" Neji smiled.
She sighed. "You're right… is… Sasuke invited?"
Sasuke grabbed her shoulder. "Hinata I don-"
"Actually he is." Neji smirked.
