Chapter 4: Past Memories Come to Life
Sasuke speeds through multiple lights, his jaw clenched in anger. Flicking my gaze from him, I let out a huff of annoyance. He hadn't spoken a word since we got in the car. We pass by multiple neighborhoods and businesses at what seems to be 100 miles per hour. Finally, after what seems ages, I turn towards him and pinch his arm. Quite hard might I add.
"Ow! What the fuck, Hinata?" His brows furrow as he rubs his arm.
"Pay attention to the road idiot!" I all but shout at him.
Grumbling something I can't catch, he turns back to the road and continues on driving. After another few moments of silence, he finally reveals what I've been wanting to know.
"We're going to find Karin." His words confuse me, seeming to notice my expression, he continues with his explanation. "She's the one who sent you the text. I went out with her on a few dates. After realizing she's a psychotic bitch, I stopped seeing her. She seems to think that we're still involved though. I thought I could keep it under wraps, but I guess that isn't an option now."
"Why didn't you tell me? I think I should know about any women you have or are having a relationship with. I mean, since we're getting married on friday. Oh, and we can't forget about the other reason you're tied to me now." To make my point clear, I motion to my abdomen.
His hand gently caresses my abdomen. Looking up from his hand, my gaze gets caught in his own. Tenderness and care flooding his obsidion eyes. A soft smile plays at my lips. I've never been able to stay mad at him.. when I was at my worst he healed me and helped me become the person I am today.
"I know, Hina.. I know." He looks back at the road. "I just didn't want to put my baggage on your shoulders. Especially with the wedding and the pregnancy."
"You do need to be honest with me in everything though. So explain to me what you're going to do about this situation."
"I figure we go see her and set things straight with her. She can't be totally insane, right?" He looks at me as if looking for confirmation. I just shrug. That doesn't help at all.
Sitting back in my seat, I close my eyes until we arrive to our destination. Moments pass, my mind wondering to past times.
**Flashback**
I feel myself being pulled tightly against a warm figure. Blinking, I try to keep the tears from falling, failing misserably. My tears soak into Sasuke's shirt. His words soon fill my ears. Those meant to soothe.
"Hinata.. I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you. I promise you that I will protect you from this moment forward."
I feel his head resting atop mine. Burrowing my face further into his shirt, I let myself go. Silently crying as he holds me. Moments later, I hear someone come up to us. Pulling back from Sasuke's comforting hold, I look up at the headmistress's assistant, Shizune-Sama. She offers a smile, I try to return the favor but fail misserably.
"Is everything alright over here?" Her voice comes out filled with concern.
"..Y-yes.." My voice comes out a bit cracked. Wincing at this, I glance over at Sasuke for help. Noting my expression, he looks at Shizune-Sama.
"Everything is fine, Shizune-Sama. We were just catching up, it's been a long time since we've seen each other." He gives her a reasurring smile.
"Oh! Well that's good then. If you need anything feel free to come to my office, Hinata. Have a good first day." With a smile, she leaves them to their own devices.
Sasuke places his arm around my shoulder, looking up at him I give him a small smile. He gives me a smirk in return, guiding me out of the office. As we walk through the hall it seems like everyone clears a path for us.
"We have the same classes throughout the morning. Our first class is homeroom with Kakashi-Sensei. You never have to worry about being late with him, he's always late himself. After homeroom we have literature, which happens to be taught by Kakashi-Sensei as well. Then we have Philosophy with Aruka-Sensei. After that is Calculus with Iruka-Sensei. Then, finally, is lunch. I don't know what you have for your afternoon classes. Those are based on what area you want to focus in the most."
We finally step into the classroom, he guides me over to a table in the back. There are already a few students sitting around it. Sasuke pulls a chair out for me next to a shaggy brown haired boy who was looking at me curiously. As I sit down, Sasuke glares at the boy as, he too, sits down.
"Stop staring Mutt, you'll make people think you're a lechor or something."
I look at Sasuke with wide eyes at his words. Before I can say anything, I hear the retort of the boy next to me.
"That isn't what your mother said to me last night."
I turn my gaze over to the boy, a look of shock on my face. Especially when he waggles his brows. He seems to feel my gaze on him, as he returns it. A smile broadens on his lips. He holds his hand out.
"Hello, my name is Kiba. It's nice to see a new face around here."
Blinking, I stare at his hand then back up at him. This makes him laugh. Dropping his hand, he looks over at Sasuke again.
"She doesn't seem like a talker. What'd ya do to her, Sasuke? Did you break her?"
Rolling his eyes, Sasuke leans close to me and whispers into my ear.
"Ignore him. He's an idiot."
Another voice pipes up from across the table. We both look over at the cause of it. A pink haired beauty with emerald toned eyes smiles in our direction. I hear an annoyed sigh come from Sasuke.
"Why haven't you introduced us, Sasuke-kun?" Her sweet toned voice seems to fill the room.
"You're annoying." Came his reply.
Frowning at his response, I look back to the pinkette and finally find my voice.
"I'm Hi-Hinata Hyu-Hyuuga. It's ni-nice to m-meet you." I do my best to put on a smile, for once not failing. The pinkette sits across from us.
"Well, Hinata, it's nice to finally have another female at the table."
"Hey! What does that mean, forehead?" The loud voiced retort comes from a tall blonde haired girl with mesmorizing blue eyes. She looks over at me, deciding to ignore whatever Sakura was about to say. She leans over the table with her hand held out to me. I take it. "My name is Ino. It's nice to finally have someone with breasts at this table."
Her words cause Sakura to twitch. I decide to sink into my chair, scooting a bit closer to Sasuke to hide from the two screaming females. Sasuke shakes his head at the females, an annoyed look on his face.
"Just ignore them. They'll shut up soon enough."
Nodding, the bell rings. Some other people casually stroll into class ten minutes late. They sit at our table. Sasuke introduces them all to me; Shikamaru, Choji, Shino and Sai. They start a light conversation, I say something every now and then. Twenty minutes after that a flash of blonde and orange come shooting into the classroom, nearly crashing into the table. I let out a startled scream. Sasuke looks at me concerned then back at the cause.
"Watch where you're landing, Dobe. You scared Hinata." He growled out.
The blonde haired boy looks from Sasuke to me. Scratching the back of his head, he chuckles nervously.
"Sorry about that Hinata! I'm Naruto by the way." He some how maneuvers around Sasuke and has me in a death like grip, hugging me. Sasuke pries Naruto off from me and throws him across the table.
"Are you okay, Hime?" I nod at his question, sitting back down. He turns to glare daggers at Naruto, as he too sits down. "Don't do that again, dobe. She's not used to your touchy-feely ways."
Before Naruto can say anything, Kakashi-Sensei walks in. The whole class stares at him as he sits at his desk.
"Sorry everyone, I got lost on my way to class. There was a lovely field of flowers.. and.. well... nevermind." He stops talking after seeing the class giving him an we-don't-believe-you look. He looks down at his papers, noticing that he has a new student. He looks through the class and meets my gaze.
"You must be the newbie. Hyuuga Hinata. Why don't you come up and tell us something about yourself?" He speaks to me in a kind tone. Feeling nervous at his request, I look at Sasuke for help. He just shrugs. Furrowing my brows at him, I get up and slowly make my way to the front of the room, not wanting to trip or something. Once at the front, I turn around and gaze at the class. I hide my hands behind my back to keep from fidgeting.
"He-hello.. I'm Hi-Hinata.." the classroom is quiet as I try to think of what to say next. Biting my lip, I gaze over at Sasuke. His eyes are filled with encouragement. Taking a deep breath, I speak, "My fa-favorite subject is ar-art. Pa-painting especially. I lo-love to si-sit out under th-the st-stars at ni-night. It's s-so pe-peaceful.." I tell a bit more about myself, then walk back to my seat and listen to the others talk.
The day passes by without a hitch, soon lunchtime comes around the corner. After collecting our lunches, Sasuke leads me to a private place for the two of us to eat outside. We sit in silence while we eat.
"Do you know who did it?" His voice causes me to jump a bit, I had zoned off into my thoughts. His question processes in my mind. Not sure what he means, I ask him.
"What do you mean..?"
"Who did to you what you told me in the office.."
Silence hangs between us for a few moments. I finally nod my head.
"Has he been punished for what he did?"
Reluctantly I shake my head. Looking down at my empty tray, not wanting to see his face.
"Why?" His simple question causes tears to blur my vision, soon falling onto the table. He reaches out and wipes them away. "Shh.. it's alright Hime. Please tell me.. I want to help."
I look up at him, taking a deep breath I begin to tell him.
"When I to-told my fa-father he d-didn't believe me.. he s-said that I w-was just t-trying to g-get his attention an-and that I n-needed to stop l-lying and c-causing pro-problems.. then he s-sent me he-here.."
"What the fuck is wrong with him? You were raped for christs sake.."
Tears begin to spill over again, he frowns at this and pulls me close to him. He strokes my back in a comforting manor. His motions stop in mid-motion at my next words.
"I ha-had to h-have an ab-abo-abortion .."
**Ends**
Snapping out of my trance, I notice we're parked in front of a mansion. Furrowing my brows, I look over at Sasuke. He looks back at me. Sighing, he motions to get out of the car. I do so as he does the same. Walking around the car, he takes my hand and has me stay behind him as we walk up to the intimidating doors. He rings the doorbell. While we wait, he looks over at me.
"Let me do most of the talking, Hime. I want to get this over with as soon as possible." I nod in answer to him. The door opens seconds later by none other than the red headed bitch. She gives Sasuke a suggestive smirk, but glares when she sees me.
"What are you doing here?" Her question obviously directed at me, but before I can respond, Sasuke answers her.
"We're here to set the record straight." With that he pushes past her, pulling me behind him. He looks at Karin expectantly. Grumbling, she leads us to a study of sorts. She sits behind a desk, folding her arms atop it in a professional like manor. Peering over her glasses at us. We sit in the chairs in front of the desk.
"I'm assuming you're over here because the skank carrying the bastard showed you my message?" Her voice holding no emotion what so ever. She screamed of sociopath.
Narrowing his gaze, Sasuke responds.
"Speak with respect, bitch. Now, listen to me and listen to me well. Stay away from me and my soon-to-be-wife and our unborn child. If you do not stay away from us, then I will put a restraining order in place and eventually get your ass put into the psych ward."
This causes Karin to giggle. I exchange a look with Sasuke of annoyance and shock. Her gaze flicks between me and Sasuke, finally settling on him.
"I'm not going to do that. You're mine. I won't let some whore take you away from me. We have something amazing together, why can't you see that, Sasuke-kun?" She crawls over the desk and just about pounces on him. Not able to take it anymore, I slap the bitch across the face so hard she falls off the desk. She looks up at me with rage clearly on her face. "You're going to regret that, skank!" She all but screeched.
She jumps at me, but gets stopped by Sasuke who throws her back onto the floor. Glaring down at her. He looks over at me with concern.
"Are you alright, Hime?" I nod in response, then step around him to look down at Karin.
"Stay away from my fiance or you'll be limping for weeks. You hear me bitch?" This just causes her to sneer at me.
Turning away, Sasuke and I begin to walk from the room but don't make it out. Karin pulls my hair so hard, I end up falling backwards. She jumps down onto me and starts to claw at my face. Screaming, I reach up and dig my nails into whatever limb I can get ahold of, pushing with all my might. Sasuke pulls her off me by the hair. Picking me up, he looks in disgust towards Karin.
"I'm putting that restraining order in effect. We'll see you in court you dumb bitch."
With that he leaves the mansion with me. Placing me in the car as gently as possible, he goes around the car and gets into the driver side. Starting up the car, he speeds off.
"I'm taking you to the hospital to get checked out." His voice laced with worry.
Making a face, I look at him. "I don't need to get checked out, Sasuke. I'm fine."
"No you're not. You're bleeding, not to mention you fell hard. The baby could have been hurt.."
Sighing, I nod in defeat. "Fine, fine. Everything will be fine though."
Twenty minutes later I'm being carried into the hospital by Sasuke. He walks over to the nurses desk. The nurse sees him and looks at me worried.
"What's wrong, Sir?"
"My fiance took a hard fall and got scratched up by a crazy woman. She's pregnant."
"Right this way!"
The nurse leads us off to a room. After a series of tests and bandaging me up, I look at the time. Five hours have passed since we arrived in the hospital. Sighing, I look over at the worried Uchiha sitting at my bedside. Just as I'm about to speak the doctor walks in. Snapping our attention to him, he walks up to the side of the bed.
"We've done a series of tests to make sure you're fine . The same for your fetus. We discovered something in the results."
"What do you mean something?" I ask, worry clear on my face.
"You have Hyperemesis Gravidarum. It is a very rare illness that pregnant women get. The symptoms include; vomiting, dehydration, and nausea. There can also be fainting. Have you been experiencing any of these symptoms?"
"N-no.. not that I've noticed.. I guess I've been feeling a bit faint lately. I've been having to stop often by the restroom to vomit, but I thought that was normal morning sickness."
"I see, I see. I want you to have as much bedrest as possible. I don't want to chance you getting worse. Drink plenty of fluids and make sure not to move when you don't need to. I'm also going to have the nurse set you up with a pre-natal vitamins and a multi-vitamin specific for your condition. We want to keep you as healthy as possible."
"Is there anything else you found?" Sasuke asks the Doctor.
"Ah, yes. You have a high level of HcG. This indicates that you could possibly be pregnant for twins."
I look at Sasuke, his gaze locks with mine. Many emotions run between us. This is definetely more than we thought we were going to be taking on. Somehow though, I felt excited at the prospect of having two beautiful children. A soft giggle slips from me.
"That's going to be a massive amount of diapers." Sasuke nods in agreement.
"So when can I leave?" I ask the doctor.
"Tomorrow morning you can check out. I want to keep you over night just to be safe."
"Okay."
Smiling the Doctor shakes bids us farewell and leaves.
Sasuke moves onto the bed with me and pulls me close. Snuggling close to him, I look up into his eyes. He presses his lips to mine in a soft tender caress. Snuggling close to him, I rest my head on his chest.
"Thank you, Sasuke."
"What for?" His voice is laced with curiosity.
"Everything."
"I'll always be here."
Smiling softly, I close my eyes and fall into a deep slumber.
