The white eyed Uchiha house-hold mistress set her feet on the cold tiles of the floor. Staring down to her feet at the shredded garment of elegant and expensive kimono that she wore last night that's was inches away from her toes. Hinata was spaced out, her body was aching and she felt really sore. The woman sighed inaudibly, tugging the bed sheet tightly wrapped around her feminine body, hiding all her features perfectly with the white piece of cloth. She walked up to take a long bath in the morning.
Each and every morning as she woke before the sun rises, she always had the tendency to admire the chirping sounds of early birds that flew in Sasuke's favourite garden; she would love the coaxing feeling of chilling air moist with morning mist that envelops her exposed warm skin stroking it as the breeze passes by. Morning is a time that she loves to dwell in and she even dreams if the time of her being able to enjoy the feeling will be prolonged. But today, it was different from any other day. She was oblivious to most of the things around her. She felt only pain, and it was so vexing enough making even the simplest actions as walking to the shower was the most painful journey she ever made in her life. The more she felt the pain, the more frequent she remembers last night's incident. It was making her day a though one.
Her pale lilac tinted eyes stared into space as the chilling cold water splashed against her skin. She closed her eyes, tilting her head up, fully submerging under the shower, she wondered if the water that flew over her body could wash away the feeling of being dirtied. She stood there just letting the water trace every inch of her skin washing away all the remnants of his blood and his touch on her. She knew no matter how much she tried to erase it, the evidence of what he did would always remain in her thoughts, her heart and memory. More significantly he left her soul to tear apart, the trust that she had for him was almost lost. Tears leaked from the corners of her closed eyes, cascading down to her cheeks mixing with the shower drops. Water flows... Water heals… Can the same water drain her pain away from her?
She tolerated most of the insults when she was a 'useless' daughter who doesn't fit the heiress title back in the Hyuuga compound, but she never felt this feeling before. She felt like she was a trash. It pained her to no end; even the tortures were to end the night before it left a scar deep in her heart that most likely will never heal. Sasuke, what can he do now to earn forgiveness from her?
Pale, fine long fingers rested on the door, sliding it open. The midnight blue haired woman walked out of the bath with a towel wrapped around her hour glass figure that she hid from being obvious under her over sized clothes in her youth. The towel plopped down to her feet as she removed it; walking to her dresser Hinata eyed the reddish marks that were placed all over her neck, chest and breasts on the mirror that reflected it. No matter how much she scratched them, they didn't disappear. The hickeys that he made on her were so obvious that she had to cover them with makeup. Quickly getting dressed into Uchiha's formal black and bright blue kimono, she clipped her chest length bangs that were framing her face back with a white ornamented butterfly clip. She had worn as little make up as possible that only complimented more on her natural beauty.
Gritting her teeth the woman endured her pain as she silently walked out of her room greeting her in laws making them the morning tea and refreshments. Politely telling them that had a meeting to attend, Hinata skipped her morning breakfast. Mikoto was worried of course; she was concerned that her daughter in law might be ill.
Hinata placed the tea that she prepared on the desk for Fugaku and offered another to Mikoto, the onyx eyed woman glanced at Hinata as she received the tea from her daughter in law.
"Good morning father in law" Hinata voiced to the stern faced Uchiha that was reading the morning newspaper.
"Hn." Was all his response, totally impassive, as usual.
Hinata smiled to Mikoto, and greeted, "Good morning mother in law, I made some herbal tea and soba to go with it… I hope you like it"
Mikoto smiled warmly and said, "It's always delicious if my daughter in law makes it, right Fugaku?" Mikoto turned to her husband.
Fugaku spared a glance at his wife tearing his eyes away from the papers; he moved his stare from his wife to the white eyed Uchiha who stood in their presence in the dining hall.
Fugaku gave her a curt nod and said, "Hn… Indeed."
Mikoto smiled brightly at the indigo blue haired girl and said, "Where is your plate Hinata-chan? Aren't you having any?"
Hinata shook her head and said, "No Mikoto-sama, I... have a meeting so I have to go soon… So, please excuse me…"
'There is something odd about Hinata today… she seems, tired…' Mikoto gasped at her own thoughts and blurted out her question at Hinata out of the blue, "[gasp] Are you sick Hinata? Do you have any morning sickness?"
Hinata was taken aback by that sudden question that was too forward, well… This is Uchiha Mikoto, of course she'd be worried, this woman is Sasuke's mother and she is a smart woman that is not easy to fool.
The girl blushed red at the forwardness of her mother in law, and she was embarrassed when even Fugaku looked at her expectantly, for a second she thought that they were kidding, but no, the vibes around them indicated to her that they were dead serious. Well, actually Fugaku was.
Mikoto suddenly jumped from her seat to Hinata's side inspecting her body, more prominently at her abdomen, feeling her hand over on Hinata's stomach if it had small protruding lump.
Deeply embarrassed Hinata blushed and stuttered at her mother in law, "M.. Mother… I-I am alright… I'm o-okay… m-mother. I am n-not s-sick... I-m h-healthy…"
Hinata stared down at Mikoto who was inspecting her abdomen closely, placing her ears on it while rubbing her hands on her hips, "hmm… hmmm… It's okay I know, only normal woman can get pregnant…"
Hinata gasped and stuttered again, "I-! [gasp] I am not p-p-pregnant mother…"
Mikoto stood up from bending down to Hinata's stomach, the woman smiled with a thumbs up, her smile glinted as she said, "It's alright, you're healthy! You can get pregnant at any time soon!"
Hinata stared at the onyx eyed woman, appalled by her she thought, 'But… isn't that too soon? I-It happened o-only last night! But h-how did she know?'
Mikoto smirked as she saw the bewildered look on her daughter-in-law's face, she chuckled and ended up laughing at Hinata as she said, "It's a joke, its' a joke… [sigh] you're way too easy to tease with Hinata-chan…"
Hinata stared at Mikoto dumbly as the woman went back to her seat, Hinata glanced at Fugaku but there was no amusement or expectation that she witnessed before in him, the old man was back to being emotionless.
The next thing Mikoto stated made Hinata stare at her mother in law out of stupor, "But I really wanted a grandchild too… oh! Not one! But a lot of them! Ufuu~ Fugaku might not say it, but he was staring at his friends that were pampering their grand-kids, he was burning with jealousy! You should have seen his face! Hahaha!"
Fugaku glared at Mikoto and turned his gaze back to his newspaper and continued his reading with an awkward cough. Hinata merely dropped her gaze and blushed, she didn't know what to do, she wasn't aware of the fact that they wanted grandchildren so badly. She wasn't a good daughter in law after all… Mikoto who was done with her food helped Hinata carry back the plates to the kitchen, guiding her daughter in law for a private conversation.
Hinata lifted her gaze at Mikoto and smiled genuinely, "I'm so-" she was about to apologize, but Mikoto cut her words as the woman walked over to her.
She whispered, "It's okay, we could wait you know…"
Hinata stared at Mikoto, she was in the brink of tear when Mikoto snapped her thoughts out of her head by saying, "By the way, why are you wobbling while you walk Hinata, are you really okay? You should rest if it hurts you know…"
Hinata blinked her tears away taking an opportunity to think of a white lie, "A… ano, I slipped in the bathroom today, so… I got a sprained ankle m-mother…"
'Good… but not good enough, shoot! Not good!' Hinata thought to herself as she thought of her spontaneous lie that she as not very good at. Mikoto knows she's a doctor; can't a medical ninja heal herself with her chakra for simple injuries like a sprained ankle? Suddenly Mikoto's eyes widened a fraction when she spotted something that was right on the place. She startled Hinata once she asked her the question.
"Nice… love bites… where did you get them from? The Sasuke store?" Mikoto asked her with smirk adorning her lips and eyes glinting with mischief.
"a-(!)" Hinata widened her eyes covering her neck with palm quickly, "I-it isn't t-too o-obvious r-right?"
"Haha! I knew it! Yeay! Better spread the good news!" Mikoto clutched her hand into fist as she laughed.
"Mother!" Hinata blushed as Mikoto continued to laugh.
Walking ahead out of the mansion, Hinata was not aware that she was being followed. She hated Sasuke. And the reasons for hating him are increasing; first he was the reason why Mikoto was teasing her more than usual today, because of him she couldn't enjoy walking to elsewhere, and then- the sly glances people were giving her when she tried her best to walk properly. She walked- oh… more like wobbled her way to the meeting place in the Hokage conference room where they held it. All the clan's head were invited and since Sasuke was out with the Police she had to take care of this. Fugaku had offered to go, but she politely denied and insisted on going there herself. Mikoto suggested a piggy back ride jokingly to the Hokage tower, teasing her again. She was there before anyone was present; being early has its own advantages. One of it is that people will not notice her weird way of walking, much to her embarrassment.
"I… raped her."
"Huh? Come again?" a husky, deep manly voice of somebody was heard from his back, Sasuke answered without looking at who it was.
"I- Raped- Her."
.
..
...
All the three of them turned pale white, their souls left their body, their widened eyes turned white- pupil less mirroring the famous byakugan, all three of them stared at the Uchiha in shock and the first one to snap out of anger reacting to Sasuke's repeated words was the blonde knucklehead. The next sip of sake that the Uchiha was about to take splashed to his face as a fist came flying to his face locking with his jaw, dislocating it in the process. The said unknown man who voiced his curiousness before glomped the Uchiha, hoisting him up with his wide arms, squishing him in his arms, Naruto who was about to throw another bunch of full power packed punches stopped in the middle of it as he stared up at the man who was giving Sasuke a 'hug'.
"S-STOP! C-CAN BREATH!" Sasuke said to the man clutching his arms pulling it away from his body.
Shikamaru, Itachi and Naruto looked up at the unknown man who suddenly appeared in the middle of their conversation that might have turned into a potential battlefield.
"Hahaha! So you did as just as I said kid?" the old man in about his fifties asked Sasuke after placing back the Uchiha on the chair, who in turn didn't answer his question but was coughing holding his chest, glaring at the man.
Itachi glared at the man who squished his brother breathless, the elder Uchiha confronted the stranger "Who are you? What weird things did you said to my brother?"
The man flashed a bright smile, clutching his eyes close, the man bent down to the earth performing some jutsus that were very fast to read, Itachi narrowed his eyes and caught them all in a glimpse.
'Kuchiyose no jutsu?' Itachi thought as he stared sceptically noting the jutsu that was performed by the old man.
Thick white smoke covered the atmosphere once he sealed the jutsu with his blood on the floor. All the people in the restaurant scattered in panic as they thought that the place was being attacked. They scrambled to their feet running out of the door, while females and some males among the customers screamed their heads off giving off a false alarm; ninjas took immediate cover the place to capture the person that they thought was the criminal, ready in guard to fight against him. As the smoke cleared the man stood on tops of his summon with large scrolls in his possession. His smile blinded people's eyes, Shikamaru, Itachi, Naruto and Sasuke had to cover their eyes as the said man shone in his bright, smoky and flashy entry.
Itachi and Naruto stared at the man cockeyed, both thinking the same thing at once, 'just who the heck is he?'
"Behold…" The man trailed in his sentences creating suspense to the situation.
