imatwilightfan: Exactly! Totally!!! Yay I'm glad!!!! Thank you! I'm glad you liked it, at first I thought it was kind of stupid but the more I read it the more it made sense.
Love Leads To Broken Hearts: Nope, I should thank you for the love!!! Don't worry he will, he maybe a jerk but he'll take them!
Zsenzsen: Wow, thanks! I know what you mean! Oh, I know how you feel, but I'm the total opposite I cry for everything, I'm not proud of it because my sister always laughs at me because of it…
To answer your P.S. I would love to be your beta but I usually don't have time to do it, I'm taking advantage of winter break to update my stories, so I really appreciate your offer but I'd have to say no because I wouldn't be a good beta. I'd always be late with your chapters and all that, I don't want to do that to you, and so I'm sorry.
Chapter 4: An Instant Dad
I walk to the Uchiha headquarters with one kid on each side. They are both still wearing black. Hana wears a black velvet top dress with a black tutu bottom. Her blonde hair is up in braids and she wears black tights and black Mary-Jane shoes. Minato wears a black suit, black dress shirt and a black bow tie. I can feel everyone's eyes on me as we walk to the elevators.
"Families don't give their backs to one another."
Those words haunt me. Did Hinata tell Minato to say that to me? To convince me? Because it did. Those words worked on me.
"Why are you guys still wearing black?" I whisper.
"We're still mourning the loss of our parents." Minato answers me.
"The real question is why aren't you wearing black?" Hana asks me. I don't look down at her and I don't answer her question.
Itachi is going to kill me…but then again he did order me to come to the offices after they read the will. I just followed his instructions.
"Uncle, I need to use the little girl's room," Hana says, I look down at her as we stand in front of the elevator.
"Can't you wait?" I ask her, she shakes her head and moves around.
"You should never ask Hana to hold it. Come on Hana where is the bathroom Sasuke?" Minato asks me as he holds his sister's hand.
"I think it's down the hall," I say pointing in the direction opposite we walked in.
"If I may Uchiha-sama," I look back and find Ino there, I forgot she works here. "Come on Hana-chan I'll take you."
"Can we trust that women?" I hear Minato ask me as he stares at Ino's back.
"Yeah, she was a schoolmate of your parents and mine."
"Really? How come we never met her?" he questions me.
"Who knows," I answer. "What do they call you at school?" I ask the boy.
"Minato-sama," he retorts. Has he always been this angry?
I must admit I never got to know these kids. I never tried to talk to them when I went over to Hinata's house. I won't lie, I hated them both. I felt that these two kids were what kept Naruto and Hinata together.
I always thought that if Hinata didn't have these two kids, then she would've left Naruto and come to me instead. Yes, I know I was delusional.
I stand here next to this angry kid and we don't talk to one another, we don't pretend to like one another. I stand here stiff with my arms crossed over my chest.
"You know people are staring at us," I hear Minato say.
"Get used to it kid," I reply.
"Can't you at least pretend to get along with me?" he asks me.
"Why? Will you pretend to like me?"
"Nope! I hate you," I look down at Minato and find him smiling up at me.
"Stupid," I murmur.
"I know you are but what am I?"
"You are such a child," I accuse him.
"Duh," he gives me his back and crosses his arms over his chest. How am I supposed to deal with this brat? Are there books on how to raise them?
"There! All done!" I jump and find Hana behind me. She giggles at me and I glare down at her smiling face.
"Uchiha-sama the President is waiting for you in his office," Ino says to me. I sigh and look away from them to glance at her.
"Why didn't you tell me that I would be their guardian?" I question her.
"Hinata asked me to keep it from you and you know how she makes people promise to keep secrets," Ino says in a somber tone.
"How did you know our parents?" Hana asks Ino.
"We were friends in high school," Ino answers with a smile.
"How come we never met you before?" Minato asks.
"For the past few years I was living out in the country."
"Let's go," I say walking away from the twins and the two of them run after me.
"Don't you know anything Sasuke?" Minato asks me, I look to my side down at him. "You're supposed to make us walk in front of you so that you can always have your eyes on us. If we're behind you we can be snatched without you knowing. Idiot!" he tells me.
"I've never dealt with kids before," I admit.
"It's okay Uncle, you'll learn," Hana tells me with a smile as she grabs my hand to hold it. She's blonde but she has her mom's face, I look away it's still too hard. Everything is difficult why do I have to take care of them they'd be better off with the Uzumaki's. They are their family it's their responsibility, not mine.
"Do you guys actually want to be with me?" I ask as soon as we go into the private elevator that's only used by Itachi and me.
"Yeah, you make me feel safe!" Hana admits quickly.
"You're really unreliable, mean, grouchy, rude and inconsiderate of us but I feel…I feel like I can be myself around you. It makes me feel secure and a tiny bit happy. I can live with this you know," Minato says looking down and away from me.
"What my little brother is trying to say is that you're an okay guy and likes you a lot and wishes to grow up to be just like you!" Hana says with a teasing smile on her lips.
"Shut up Hana!" Minato shouts with a red face.
"It's true though," Hana says innocently.
"Stupid Hana!"
"Idiot Minato!"
"I hate you!"
"So? I don't care!"
"I wish you died!" Minato yells but the he realizes what just came out of his mouth and I can see the instant regret come onto his pale face. "Hana-" I interrupt him.
"Apologize to your sister!" I order him, I watch as Hana's eyes water. "You're alone in this world and the only other person who is here for you is your sister. You are to protect her through everything and never ever wish her any harm," I say to him seriously as I go down on my knees to be at eye level with him.
"I know!" he yells and hides his face behind his hands.
"A man never cries," I say.
"Shut up!" my face becomes surprised as I look over at Hana. "Minato isn't a man! He's still a boy! Let him cry if he feels like it! Don't restrict him like that you monster!" Hana yells out.
I stay kneeled as I grow stunned as she goes to her brother and hugs him and they start to wail in each other's arms. The elevator doors suddenly open and I see Itachi there glaring at me.
"What the fuck Sasuke? What's going on?" I can't answer him because I suddenly feel like a cat got my tongue. It's glued to the top of my mouth.
"No bad words in front of children, Hana always repeats them," Minato says raising his head.
"Was I talking to you child?" Itachi questions Minato.
"No, but I'm answering because Sasuke can't answer right now, so I'm doing it for him," the stupid kid responds. I see as Itachi glares down at him.
"I like you," Itachi says out of nowhere. "You're like your late dad."
"But smarter," I mutter.
"Shut up stupid!" the two kids yell out.
"This is going to be so much fun. So Sasuke I hear you became an instant dad?" I can hear how ironic it sounds coming from Itachi, he's laughing at me on the inside.
"Shut up stupid," I say walking away and walk into my office.
"You know this isn't a daycare center?" Itachi says following after me and the twins.
"Yes, I do but this kind of happened suddenly so I couldn't make any arrangements beforehand. Now if you'll let me I'd like to get some work done." I say before closing the door.
"Wow…" both kids are silenced so easily, I look over and find the huge picture Hinata took of the three of us and surprised me with it by nailing it to one of my walls.
"That's your mom's fault," I say as I look at it.
"Hey Sasuke!" that overly energetic voice of that stupidly loud boyfriend of the girl I love screams in my face; I grab his face with my hand.
"Who the fuck said you can talk to me without begin formal, idiot?"
"You do it all the time," Hinata sweetly says to me, I turn my glare at her. "Please keep your hands off my boyfriend; I don't want people to think that we're in love with the same guy. Imagine the stories and gossip!" she says seriously.
"No one would believe you," I lie.
"Would you like to bet on that Sasuke?" she asks with a smile. No, I wouldn't actually; because everyone would believe in Hinata because she's a "saint." But I know the truth… "I thought as much," she says smiling wider. I slit my eyes. "Now let go of Naruto because I like my boyfriend's handsome face and wish it to remain like that." I slowly let go of his face. "So I came to drop Naruto off while I do some stuff."
"She's probably cheating on you," I whisper to the idiot. I get slapped behind my head.
"I would never!"
"She wouldn't because she loves me a lot," Naruto says at the same time.
"Why do I have to baby-sit him?"I ask as I rub the back of my head where Hinata slapped me.
"Yeah, why Hana-chan?" she suddenly becomes misty eyed as she stares at us.
"Because I want my two best friends to get along," she says wiping away her fake tears.
"I'll put my best effort to get along with this bastard!" Naruto shouts covering his eyes in an effort to hide his tears that were caused by Hinata.
"Thanks Naruto!" she shouts suddenly becoming happier. "Sasuke I expect you to behave," she warns me.
"Since when have you bossed me around?" I question her.
"Well…" she taps her chin as she thinks about it. "Oh! Since my eighth birthday party when you-"
"Shut up!" I say with a blush.
"Ah, Sasuke-chan are you embarrassed about it?" she asks me with a wide satisfied smile. "But it was only until recently that I began to rebel against your rule. I'm a free woman, so get used to it! Take care of Naruto; don't let him eat paste or color on your walls! I'll pick him up in three hours!" she walks to the black car and her driver opens the door and I see someone in there. But the door is closed before I can see who it is. I look at Naruto.
"Who was that?"
"Her mom, she got here just now while Hinata and I were out. So she was called and told to return home but she didn't want to leave me alone so she thought I should come to keep you company." I watch as the car turns left at the end of the street.
"You do know why her mom has been away all this time don't you?" I ask as I turn my head to stare at him once more.
"No, why?" he asks me as he closes his eyes and tilts his head to the side.
"No, I thought you did. Well I shouldn't tell you, come on in," I say as I open the first of many gates of the Uchiha compound.
"Wow…I knew you were rich but not this rich…" he murmurs I don't say anything.
Hinata didn't tell him? From what Hinata's told me once was that her mom's duty was to find a suitable husband for Hinata. And she wasn't supposed to return until she did so maybe Hinata found herself a husband.
Wait, that's bad for me too, isn't it?
"What are you thinking about smelly?" he asks me interrupting my thoughts.
"Nothing, dumbass. What do we do now?"
"I don't know, I was going to ask you that," Naruto responds.
