Ch 7: Party Plans

The next morning, Hinata went to Ino's mom's flower shop, where she knew Ino would be working. Sure enough, Ino was the one who greeted her from the counter.

"Hey Hinata-chan," Ino said, leaning forward on to the counter. "What ya here for?"

"Actually, I came to see you…" Hinata said, blushing lightly. "You remember that one day at the lake? Where we all got together?"

"Yeah. I know what your talking about. That was exhausting. I had to try to get Shikamaru to come. He kept saying how much it was a drag. Well he was a drag. I had to drag him there. Chouji was easy though. I just told him we'd have barbeque and he was all for it."

Hinata giggled. "Well, I was thinking it'd be nice to have another get together. It's been a while since we've all been able to get together. Do you have a mission this weekend?"

"No. My squad's off. Sakura's is too. Do you know about Neji's?"

"They're free at the moment."

"It's been really lazy lately. Lucky genin get all the jobs."

"Would you really like having all those boring jobs, Ino? It would be a waste of time for us." Hinata looked at the door as a breathless Sakura leaned against the door frame. "Sakura? What's wrong?"

"Have you heard the news yet?" she asked, grinning. "You'll never guess who's the sixth hokage."

"Naruto?" both girls chorused.

"Hey, how'd you guess?" Sakura asked standing up. "Anyways, Tsunade-sama found out last night. She found the third hokage's will hidden in her office. He named Naruto as fifth hokage. I don't think he was planning on dying that soon. A twelve year old hokage. That would've been funny."

"But, when the third hokage died, I thought they searched his office for some sort of will?" Ino asked.

"Well they did. But when an hokage wants to hide something, it's well hidden. By the way, this isn't common knowledge quite yet. Naruto might not even know yet." She sighed. "Anyways, we should get planning. We'll have to throw a party won't we?"

Ino grinned at Hinata. "Well, Hinata's well ahead of us. She came here to start planning a party. Isn't that right, Hinata-chan?"

She nodded. "It's been a while since we'd all just had time to hang out. Aren't Naruto and Gaara friends?"

Sakura smirked. "I don't think Sasuke would like him coming."

Ino grinned. "And? Temari could come. That should convince Shikamaru to come without a fight."

"We could have it at the lake," Hinata said. "Just like a sorta picnic."

"But if it rains we'll need a back up place," Sakura said, leaning against the counter. "How about your compound Hinata? Don't you guys have that training room? It's really roomy."

"Yeah," Ino agreed. "That would be great for a back up place. As long as your father doesn't mind."

"I have a feeling he'll mind," Hinata said quietly.

"Why?" Ino asked. "He's never minded before."

"Well that was before I renounced my name," Hinata said briefly. The flower shop was silent.

"Hinata…" Sakura whispered, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Why would you…"

"I was a disappointment as heir," She said gently. "I did something I shouldn't have and I have to pay the consequences. Besides, my father would rather have Hanabi as heir anyways."

"That's not true," Sakura said, automatically wanting to reassure. "I can't believe you'd think that."

"He said it," she said. "He told Kurenai-sensei when she came to start my training. Hanabi's always been stronger then me. She'd make a better heir anyways. And after what I did…"

"What did you do, Hinata?" Ino asked. Hinata kept silent.

"Does it have to deal with Kiba?" Sakura asked quietly. Hinata nodded. "You've been tired a lot haven't you?" She nodded again. "And you've had dizzy spells and nausea haven't you?" Hinata nodded again, knowing they could deduce for themselves what happened. They were medic-nin after all.

"Please, keep it quiet," Hinata said. "I don't want a lot of people to know quite yet."

"How far are you?" Ino asked, barely loud enough to be heard.

"Eight weeks," Hinata answered.

"Does Kiba know?" Sakura asked in the same hushed tones.

"Yes. His family, too. Neji and Ten-ten also found out."

"Is this why you wanted the party?" Ino asked.

"Yes. I was planning on telling everyone there. You guys have a right to know. It's not exactly the kinda thing you can keep secret."

"So when's the wedding?" Sakura said, smirking.

"What do you mean?" Hinata asked, confused.

"Oh right. Like you don't know," Ino said, grinning. "I'm surprised Kiba hasn't proposed yet."

"Well. Not too many people know I'm pregnant and me and Kiba have only been going out a month. Wouldn't that be jumping it just a bit to most people? And I just told my parents yesterday…"

"Don't tell me Kiba was planning to ask your father?" Sakura asked, eyebrows raised. "No offence, but that in itself would be scary, not to mention he already got you pregnant. Actually…none of your male relatives seem pleasant."

"Thinking about that, how did Neji-kun take the news?" Ino asked.

"Pretty well to tell the truth."

"That's surprising," Sakura said. "I'd expect threats at the very least."

"I think we all know what'll happen if someone hurts his little cousin," Ino teased lightly.

"I wouldn't have even thought that about six years ago," Hinata said quietly.

"We know," Sakura said. "But it just goes to show, people change."

At that moment, Naruto and Sasuke walked by, Naruto grinning. "You better be prepared, Sasuke-kun. You promised you'd take the bill."

Sasuke sighed. "One bowl, Dobe. And that's all I'm paying for."

"Uh-uh, You said you'd take the bill. You never said how much I could get."

"You had ramen last night."

"Ahh, Sasuke. Come on. Only one? That will hardly fill me up."

Sasuke sighed. "Fine. Two bowls. That's it."

Sakura laughed. "And some people never do. And that's our new hokage. What are we gonna do?"

"Why don't we plan this party?" Hinata suggested. "We still need a back up place if it rains."

Sakura grinned. "Oh, I know just the place." She walked to the door, poked her head out and called, "Sasuke! Naruto! Come here a sec! We have a question for you!" A reply was shouted and Sakura yelled, "Come on! It'll only take a second! The ramen will still be there!" Then Sakura grinned. "They're coming," she told them.

"What do you want Sakura-chan?" Sasuke said as he entered the flower shop.

"Yeah why did you interrupt?" Naruto asked.

"We want to throw a party," Sakura said. "And we need a backup place."

"Our usual backup place is currently unusable," Ino informed. "Thanks to our little Hinata-chan here."

"It's not entirely my fault, Ino," Hinata said quietly, light blush covering her face.

"Anyways, I was hoping that we could use the old hall," Sakura said. "Of course, that's only if it rains. So you might not have to worry about it."

"What's this party for anyways?" Naruto asked.

Sakura looked at them as if to say told you and said, "We just want to get together. We might even send an invite to Gaara-sama and Temari-chan."

"No," Sasuke said.

"Come on, Sasuke-kun," Sakura whined.

"No," he repeated walking away. Once he was out of earshot Naruto whispered, "Don't worry, girls. I'll work on him." He winked and ran after Sasuke, shouting for him to wait up.

Sakura giggled. "If Naruto is anything, it's dependable. We have a spot."

"But Sasuke's so stubborn," Ino said, grinning. "How can we be sure that Naruto can get him to change his mind?"

"Well…" Hinata said. "If Naruto says he'll get Sasuke to change his mind, he can do it."

Sakura looked at Hinata suspiciously as she looked at the ground. Ino caught her eye and nodded. "Hinata-chan, you still like Naruto, don't you?" Sakura asked.

"Well…" Hinata said hesitantly. "It's complicated."

"Oh come off it," Ino said. "It's not like we don't get it. I mean, we're the ones who were obsessed with Sasuke. I mean, Chouji's enough…"

"And Lee's a lot better then I thought," Sakura said, shyly.

"We're perfectly content, but you…" Ino sighed. "It was eight weeks ago that Naruto and Sasuke got together. You found out and Kiba happened to be available. And we know Kiba likes you. If he hadn't gotten you pregnant, would you be with him? Honestly, Hinata. Would you still be with him?"

Hinata looked away…She honestly didn't know. What would've happened if she hadn't forced herself onto him? Or if he had pushed her away? Would they still be just friends? Or could they have been more? Hinata sighed, thinking, and if I hadn't gotten pregnant…would we've stayed together?


Ummmm….H-hi...dodges shuriken and kunai wipes sweat from forehead Ha! If you kill me you don't get the rest of the story!!!

Kiba: I think we should just kill her anyways.

Sasuke: I agree.

Hiokami: -glares- You're not a principle player in this fic, Sasuke! You don't get a say in my death!

Sasuke:-gives author smexy Uchiha smirk-

Hiokami: -swoons- Okay…Kill me if you want….Just as long as it's by hormonal overload!

Naruto: -comes up behind author and knocks her out- Sasuke's mine biotch!

Sasuke: Last I checked, you were mine dobe…

Kiba: "Are they really having this discussion???"

Naruto: Hey! I won last time! That means I have ownership!

Kiba: "They are…" YO! Hiokami! Wake up! I don't wanna have to take this!

Hiokami: -Lifts head up and sticks tongue out at Kiba- You're the one that said I should die. I think a little punishment would be fitting…As for how, I'll give you some later….when you least expect it. Anyways…I think I said it'd be slightly angsty. Let's face it, Konoha's most popular is Sasuke, and while Naruto isn't as well liked, he is pretty damn cute. Let's face it. You aren't going to have many girls vying for you. It's just how things work. You know…Dog eats dog world. -grins-

Kiba: Gah! I'm tired of all your lame dog puns!!!

Hiokami: And I care why? Anyways, Ya'll know the drill. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!
