It was around a month after the little adventure the two young drunk had, though they didn't remember a thing of what had happened that night. Hinata wasn't feeling well again. And something she hated to do, she had done a lot the last few days; throwing up. The Hyuga heiress was laying in bed, feeling miserable.
"Any better?" said a voice that belonged to her cousin. "No," Hinata sighed and looked at her cousin. Two other persons appeared much to her and Neji's surprise. "Neji, we have training," the young weapon master kunoichi said. "Hey, Hinata-san. How are you feeling," came out of the mouth of Lee. "I have had better days, well at least I don't have the urge of running to the bathroom to throw up today so that's an improvement," Hinata answered. "Why don't you go see Sakura-chan?" Lee suggested, "or I could ask her to come to you when I see her after training." "Having another date with her?" Tenten teased her team-mate. Lee only gained some pink in his face and looked at Hinata waiting for an answer. "Thanks Lee-san, I would appreciate if you ask her to come, if it's not too much to ask. I don't really feel well enough to go outside." Lee nodded with a smile, "I will ask her."
Hinata said goodbye to her cousin and his team and tried to get some more sleep. And she would have fallen asleep if it hadn't been for her father to enter. Trying to get up, she was pushed back into her pillow. "Don't even try. I heard Lee will ask Sakura to look at you?" "Yes, father." "Still feeling sick?" "N-no, not at the moment. I-I hope I'm over that phase of whatever illness I have," Hinata said shyly averting her fathers gaze. He had starting to be nicer to her, but she was still somewhat uncomfortable around him, though she stuttered less than before when with him near.
Hours after her little conversation with her father, Sakura came over. "Hello, Hinata," she said as she entered Hinata's room. "Hello, Sakura-san. Thanks for coming, I hope it isn't too much trouble," Hinata said. "Nah, don't worry," the pink haired smiled as she walked over to Hinata who was now sitting up in bed. To the dark haired it was a relief she had been able to keep her food inside, instead of throwing it up a few hours later. She mostly got the urge for that when sitting up, this time it didn't happen.
"Turn a bit," Sakura said in a not really ordering way. Hinata did and the medic examined her for a minute or so, at that time a surprised expression came on Sakura's face. "Ano… Hinata, could I ask you something?" "Of course." "Do you… do you have a boyfriend?" "N-n-no," Hinata suddenly stammered, taken aback by this question.
'I want Naruto as my boyfriend, but he's been off for quite some years. Maybe I now have the courage to tell him I love him… Why is Sakura asking such a question?'
"Sakura-san, why are you asking?" "No reason just interested. I'm done by the way." Sakura went to a standing position, looking at Hinata with a face that made her rather nervous. "Do-do you know why I feel so horrible?" "…yes," Sakura said after a short silence. She turned around. "I think I'll first tell your father, I don't know how to tell you, sorry." "I-It's okay," Hinata said, though she had hoped Sakura would tell her.
The pink haired medic left to talk to Hiashi. Hinata heard a loud "What the hell!" from her father, something very uncommon that made her worry more. The two talked some, for Hinata didn't hear Sakura leaving. After something of ten minutes she heard footsteps and a door being opened and closed soon afterwards.
Short after that her room door slid open and her father came inside with an I-am-not-believing-what-I-just-heard face. This made Hinata so nervous she really wanted to know. "Father, what is wrong with me?" 'Woa even no stuttering!'
Hiashi looked at his daughter, shook his head a few times and then opened his mouth. "Hinata, there is nothing wrong with you." Hinata blinked a few times after hearing her father saying such a sentence to her. "Do you have a boyfriend?" "No, why are you asking the same question as Sakura-san?" "Did anybody ever used you? Touch you in a way you don't want?" "N-no! Of course not!" 'Only Naruto-kun may do such a thing…' she added in her mind.
Then she started to realise what her father had been asking. "F-Father, are you saying that…" she couldn't continue.
"How to say this…" her father started. It was the first time Hinata saw him ever struggling with words. Then he sighed. "Hinata you're pregnant." "W-W-What?" Hinata whispered unbelievable, "b-but that's impossible." "Are you sure nobody ever raped you, to put it that way?" "Of course I am! I would remember it, wouldn't I!" Hinata yelled breaking into tears. Hiashi was surprised that his shy daughter suddenly yelled at him. "Maybe someone placed a memory seal on you. Let me check."
Hinata didn't protest while her father checked for a memory seal. The sigh he let out in the end was a giveaway there wasn't one. Hinata panicked. 'When? How? Why me?' she thought as she sobbed more. For once her father didn't say crying was showing weakness. He just looked at his daughter and believed she really didn't know when it happened. Hiashi was angry, of course, he wasn't such a bad father to not feel sorry for his daughter and all. He tried very hard to hold his temper at that moment under control.
"Hinata, I could ask Tsunade to take it away…" "That is killing a child. I can't do that," Hinata sobbed while shaking her head. "Hinata…" "No, father. I might be able to kill missing nin, but I cannot kill an unborn child."
The Hyuga leader sighed, though he was proud at his daughter to give such a reason. "Okay, in that case… Sakura told me it was healthy, but you need to talk to Tsunade and get regular checks, she also told me she doesn't know the sex yet." "Th-thank you, father." Hinata only gave a soft and short smile. "There is one last thing you might want to know. It has nothing to do with this," Hiashi said as he thought this would cheer her up if only a little. "What is that?" Hinata asked. "Uzumaki Naruto is returning at the end of this week. It's Tuesday so in five more days." Hinata only gave slight nod and lay down.
This news had actually made her more depressed. For she guessed Naruto wouldn't want her when knowing she was pregnant and was raped by some unknown guy, although she can't remember it at all. The only conclusion she could come to was that she had to give him up.
The Hyuga leader sighed as he saw he got totally the opposite effect of what he had wanted. "Get some sleep and eat healthy," he finally said as went back to the door.
When Hinata heard the door close her actual sobbing, which she was able to suppress mostly, started. She was more in tears than ever and more confused for she couldn't remember when such a thing had happened.
-----------------
As we all know Sakura isn't someone to keep secrets like this away from her friends. Lee was the first one to hear, for he was her boyfriend after all and he had been the one who told Sakura to go to Hinata. Neji and Tenten were second, because Neji was worried about his cousin. He was in shock so to say, Tenten felt really sorry and asked when that happened. Sakura told she didn't know and they had to ask Hinata later. Neji, being a bit overprotective lately, had rushed over to the Hyuga compound to ask Hiashi. When he came back, or rather, when he was about to go back and met Sakura, Lee and Tenten at the gate, he told Hinata didn't know herself. Now all of them found this really confusing, but knew very well Hinata wouldn't lie about such a thing.
Next one to know was of course Ino; she and Sakura were friends again after a few months Naruto had left and there was no Sasuke to fight over. They had both decided to bury the hatchet and move on. Around a year ago the pink haired had started to see Lee more frequently and he was now her boyfriend. Ino on the other hand was still single, maybe a little jealous at Sakura because she had a boyfriend, but happy for her.
After Ino knew about this, it is not a big surprise that most knew about it, much to Hinata's displease.
When Kiba heard about it, he was… overwhelmed. He went over to her and promised her to help her if needed. Hinata had thanked him and asked to stop Ino from getting more people to know. He took care of that problem in about a half our. He also told the rest of his friends not to talk to anybody about it, because Hinata didn't want it. So with respect for their friend they didn't and they only talked about it with each other.
Around the end of the week it was Ino who asked a question nobody had an answer for. They just remained in silence pondering over it. How would Naruto act when he hears about it?
