Official Maybe it's best? Ch 7

Okay I want to thank Kandita for the review, since it was the only one lol. Not disappointed, just saying anyway this chapter goes out to you! I hope you like it

Orochimaru yellow eyes looked at the onyx eye man who was walking towards him. Sasuke had just finished with his training and he was now making his way to his dark room when he saw Orochimaru in the middle of the semi-dark hall "Congratulationsss Sssasuke" the smile that appeared on the snake man made Sasuke aggravated.

Sasuke stopped and looked at the snake man in front of him "Move" Sasuke voice was cold and angry. Orochimaru smiled "Aren't you going to asssk about your unborn child?" Sasuke didn't say anything. What had he just said?

Sasuke's cold eyes looked at the man "Right. You don't know, do you?" Orochimaru asked cruelly "Hinata isss pregnant with your child" Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh, to him it was fun teasing and toying around with the now emotionless and cold hearted Sasuke; but he knew that once he mentioned that Hinata is having a baby, well he just had to see if Sasuke has no emotions or was he just really good at hiding them.

"Move" he told him once again "-I won't say it again" he told him, his voice colder than before. Orochimaru smiled "Now now Sssasuke don't tell me you're not leassst ssshocked?" he frowned "I wasss hoping to sssee ssshocked or at leassst a bit of emotion" he moved aside and Sasuke walked past him not saying anything. His face stayed calm and cool.

"If you ever want to sssee picturesss of Hinata and her belly, jussst tell me." Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh after saying that. Sasuke headed back to his dark room, where he saw Keiji waiting for him as usual. He closed the wooden door behind him and saw Keiji wag his thumb tail at him; with a heavy sigh Sasuke put his Katana near his bed and laid down resting his head over his hands.

Keiji laid on the bed looking at the wooden door still awake. He wouldn't sleep until Sasuke came back from where ever he didn't want him to go. At times being within these four walls got boring but he'd stay here with the man who he had been attached since he was a puppy.

He loved his human and so he would wait until he got here to make sure he was okay. He yawned and grunted until he saw the door open; he was back, he wagged his tail at him with a small pet on his head he had put the long shiny thing he always carried with him along the side of the bed and laid down.

He rested his head on the edge of the bed and looked at his human who was now looking up at the celling. Keiji had noticed that as the days past, his human slowly began to show no emotions whatsoever. I mean his human had always been serious and quite.

He knew he still loved him and cared for him, since at days they both spent it outside, sometimes since the sun rose from the land to when it hid back behind the big mountains at the distance.

He would give him food and pet him. He lifted his head and looked at him, he let out a long cry/whine "Let's sleep" he told him. Keiji knew something was wrong with another small whine he jumped up on the bed and went to his corner of it.

Sasuke laid on the bed and after he bed had sunk after Keiji jumped on and went to his corner of the bed. Sasuke still looking up sighed "Pregnant?" He is smart he knew this room was rigged with wires and cameras.

If Orochimaru wanted a reaction to Hinata' pregnancy, he wasn't getting one but hell he was having a meltdown in his head. He was going to be a father!

He only starred up in the ceiling, in his mind however; he was having a meltdown.

After eating and paying the tab in Ichiraku the parents and the rookies gathered outside of the restaurant. Hiashi said his good byes "Thank you again for today" he told the clan leaders.

"If you need anything, you know we're here for you so don't be afraid to ask." Shikaku told him.

"Thank you" Hiashi thanked everyone once more before everyone went their own way, leaving the Hyuuga clan along with Tsunade and Naruto – since his apartment was the same way the Hyuuga household.

"We'll see you tomorrow" Ino waved bye at Hinata and then sighed "Sakura, hurry up!"

Sakura bit her lip "Coming" and smiled at Naruto "I'll text you" Naruto smiled and kissed her forehead "Night"

Making their way home Naruto smiled "I've been meaning to tell you Hinata, I found a baby fox!" he saw her smile as he gave her the news but she asked "Where?"

"I was outside of Konoha gates on the west side of the outside training grounds when I saw the little guy"

Hiashi looked at the young man "Are you sure the mother wasn't hunting?"

Naruto frowned "I left him there and after a few days I went back, I had looked for her myself but sadly…" he cleared his throat; he hadn't told Sakura that so he had just told her how he found it "…so I took him home oh, and he loves ramen!" he smiled.

"Just make sure you him a lot of exercise" Hiashi mentioned.

"Yes, sir" Naruto told him. Tsunade looked at the young- happy-go lucky man named Naruto "You want to see him?"

"Hinata needs to rest" Tsunade told him. Naruto looked at the blonde and nodded, indicating she was right "If you want can stop by tomorrow, I'll be back from the training base around three 'clock, if you want to see Kyuubi"

Hinata nodded "I'd like that." Hinata looked to see Naruto' building and she heard him say "Well goodnight Hinata, Mr. Hyuuga, Hanabi and Granny Tsunade"

Hiashi raised his brows in surprise from the nickname Naruto had just given Lady Tsunade "What? What did you just call me?" a vein had just popped around her brow "Granny Tsunade because I have a feeling you'd be like a granny to Hinata"

Tsunade should have hit him but she looked at his blue eyes and couldn't help but smile at the young born be a true ANBU leader one day "Good night Naruto."

A huge smile appeared on his face "Night, if anything Hinata I can pick you up on my way from the training grounds."

"Okay, just text me" she told him. With another round of goodbyes from the Hyuuga and Tsunade, Naruto headed up the stairs to his apartment.

"He's a strange one" Tsunade told Hinata and with a smile Hinata giggled "-in a good way, he-"

"Brings your mood up" Hinata told her, Tsunade nodded "Yes he does" even though he gave her granny; she couldn't help but like the kid.

Once inside the house Tsunade looked at her phone "Something wrong Tsunade?" Hiashi asked "I just need to stop by at the Inuzuka household for someone."

"You could have told us-" Tsunade shook her head "No it's okay plus Hinata needed to rest, I'll just take a few minutes."

Hiashi was about to say something when he heard the bell ring. Hiashi looked as Hinata opened the door to see Kiba Inuzuka with a piglet.

"Kiba?" Hinata asked as she saw him holding a small pink piglet with a small pink- what looked to be a vest and a pearl necklace.

"Kiba you brought Tonton!" Hinata heard a very happy Tsunade with a nod Kiba said "My mother told me that once you had arrived to the village, since Konoha Hospital is a no animal policy you had asked if you could leave Tonton under our care now with the day over I'm here to return her" Hinata smiled as Kiba handed her the piglet.

"I was about to pick her up myself" Kiba shrugged "No worries plus Akamaru needed his walk after all the leftover meat Chouji didn't see."

Tsunade took Tonton from Kiba's arms and thanked him once more "Remember to thank your mom for me." Kiba nodded "I will" after that, Tsunade had left with Tonton in her arms to see Hiashi

"I'll see you tomorrow Hinata, good night" Kiba told her "Night Kiba, goodnight Akamaru" a small bark of excitement escaped the giant white dog before she closed the door.

Kiba looked at Akamaru "Race you home for the last ramen bowl"

Akamaru barked "Ready, GO!"

"She's so cute!" Hanabi commented as she smiled at the small piglet it Tsunade arms.

"So…lord Hiashi" Hiashi couldn't help but smile "She's as welcomed but will she be okay with the dogs?"

"She'll be fine; I know your dogs are gentle." Hiashi nodded "I'll show you to your room"

Hanabi waited for Hinata as they made their way up the stairs and stopped in front of Hinata' room "This is your room" it was the one in front of Hinata' room.

Hiashi figured that Gaara would come back, so he left the room that was his for when he came back but for now the only one that slept there was a sad Bull mastiff named Shukaku and Kilo and Kujo to keep him company.

"Thank you" she put Tonton and saw her small piglet walk around the room with a small oink here or there Tonton felt comfortable with his surroundings.

Tsunade covered a yawn with her hand "Excuse me" she said. "We'll let you rest. Good night Tsunade"

With a small smile she said "Thank you. Good night Hiashi. Good night Hanabi-" she looked at Hinata "If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask. I'm here for you." Hinata nodded "Thank you. Good night."

"Well goodnight ladies. Tomorrow is a new day." Hiashi told them and with that said, Hiashi left to his room. Hanabi looked at Tsunade and with a smile she said "Good night" Tsunade nodded "Good night" after closing the door Hanabi looked at Hinata "Mind if I sleep with you tonight?"

Hinata shook her head "No, of course not" Once changed in their pajamas Hinata and Hanabi laid on the bed "What did you think of today?" Hanabi asked.

"I enjoyed it; I loved spending time with everyone. I just wish Neji was here."

"How will he react?" Hanabi then bit her lip, fu-dge she should have not mentioned Neji. Hanabi put her hands on top of hers "Hinata-" Hinata froze as a thousand questions ran inside her head.

What was she going to tell Neji? How was she going to tell him? How was he going to react? Was Neji going to be disappointed? Mad? Was he…would he try to find Sasuke?

"Hinata?" she heard the familiar voice of Tsunade "Hm?" she was shaking a bit "Are you okay?" her breathing had increased a bit "In through your nose out through your mouth, take small breaths. What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I mentioned Neji-"

Tsunade had been washing her face when she heard a small knock at the door "Hanabi" with fear in her eyes she said "Hinata" Tsunade didn't think twice and headed towards Hinata' room. Hinata was sitting on the bed, she was in a shock/surprised/fear state and she was shaking a bit.

Tsunade kneeled down and put a hand on top of hers and called her name. She'd gotten a small "Hm" and with s few blinks she was back "Are you okay?" her breathing had gotten was a bit faster "In through your nose out through your mouth, take small breaths. What's wrong?"

And that's when she had heard Hanabi saying it was her fault, that she had mentioned Neji.

"Who's Neji?" Tsunade asked Hanabi.

"He's m-my cousin" Hinata answered Tsunade then put the pieces together "Does he know about your pregnancy?" she asked her. Hinata shook her head and from the small fear in Hinata' eyes…her guess was that Neji is over protective and that she was scared of telling Neji about her pregnancy.

"It'll be okay"

"I'm so sorry Hina, I didn't mean to get you upset" Hinata shook her head "It's not your f-fault, it's not like Neji can stay out in missions forever, he'd have to be back b-but I never thought I'd have to t-tell him about me being p-pregnant. What if h-he wants to f-find S-Sasuke?"

Tsunade rubbed Hinata' back, it'd help her relief some stress. "It's only the protection instinct and if he were to try to bring him back but he'll support you like all of the others have."

"But-" Tsunade stopped her "Hinata, he won't judge you or be mad. I promise."

After a few minutes of just breathing and soothing circle motions on her back and tell her to not over think it.

Hinata had managed to finally get her breath under control, Tsunade had helped by circular motion that she was doing on her back "I'll here for you." he told Hinata to lay on her side and as she kept doing the circular motions on her back she said "Where is Neji?"

Hanabi looked at "I had sent him a message and I think he said he and Tenten had gone to Otafuku town for ice cream" Tsunade saw that Hinata had fallen asleep "So he wasn't here when she found out?"

Hanabi nodded "I thought they would be here by now but I guess not." Tsunade then slowly got up and looked at Hanabi "Let me know if anything happens during the night"

"Thank you Lady Tsunade." Tsunade smiled and told the young Hyuuga "No problem, good night"

"Night" Hanabi smiled at her and closed the door behind her, once in bed she turned off the light she went to sleep.

That following morning Hanabi woke up first and had noticed Hinata was awake but still lying in bed

"Good morning Hina, how'd you sleep last night?"

"Good" but there was no smile, sitting up but still looking at her sister Hanabi asked "What's wrong?"

"What if Neji is disappointed?" Hanabi watched Hinata sit up "He won't be. He loves you no matter what and he'll be an uncle. I'm sure he'll be happy about that." She'd known Neji for sixteen years now.

Sure his first years of knowing him, he hated the main branch of the family but after a meeting with her dad, everything had gone better. He was a better, sweeter and more protective person she'd ever met, he was most protective one of all the rookies, that was enough said.

So when he finds out…she knew he'd be there for both of them. Hanabi knew that Hinata's concerned was that once Neji knew she was pregnant with Sasuke' child and that he would want to bring Sasuke back.

"There is nothing to worry about Hinata, now why don't we go eat breakfast." Hinata at the sound of food heard her stomach growl and as usual a blush appeared upon her face "Sounds good." They didn't even bother on changing from their pajamas, even though Hinata wanted to Hanabi said that it felt like a pajama-food-and-movie kind of morning.

"Okay but I'm going to go visit Naruto around three, he wanted to show Kyuubi, his baby red fox. Want to go with me?"

"I wish I could but Konohamaru and I are going-" Hinata looked at her little sister "-to go have dinner tonight"

Hinata smiled and said "You and Konohamaru h-have had been spending time a lot, lately." It was Hanabi's turn to blush "Uh"

"Do you see him more than friend?" Hinata asked her. Konohamaru is a nice teen boy, who so happen to be the grandson of Lord Sarutobi and her formal high school math teacher is his uncle. He's been at the house before and she liked the matter of fact that he isn't intimidating by the stares Neji has giving him before. He's very polite and goofy, kind of like a second Naruto.

Naruto was the first one that had not cared he was the grandson of the third Hokage and had called him by his name and not the honorable grandson on the third Hokage. Konohamaru had told her (Hinata) that elders of the village always called him honorable grandson and not by his name.

So after Naruto had hit him across the head, not so hard and had told him that he didn't care if he was the grandson of the third or first Hokage, that if he messed him he'd drag him by his feet (of course she knew Naruto wouldn't to that) and so after that day or so Konohamaru had felt happy that for once he was Konohamaru and not the honorable grandson of the third.

She knew he loves his grandfather but he loves his name to; given after the village he loved.

"He's cute" Hanabi smiled and with a sigh she said "-but I don't know if it's a one sided love of thing." On their way down the stairs Hinata said "I think he feels the same he's just a bit shy."

"Konohamaru shy? Hinata, that's like Naruto being not hungry and he's like a second Naruto so he's very opened minded. Naruto told Sakura he liked her."

"Back then Sakura didn't like Naruto but look at them now" Hinata told her.

Once in the kitchen Hanabi took out dome veggies and chicken "True." Hinata smiled "He's been here a lot and he looks at you like you like he hasn't seen you in years, I think he likes you too." Hanabi smiled "Thanks."

"Good morning ladies" both Hinata and Hanbi heard Tsunade' voice "Morning" both girls chimed in. "How did you sleep Hinata?"

"Good. Thank you for everything." Tsunade knew she was talking about the small massage that she had given her and helped her sleep.

After washing and cutting the veggies and cutting and seasoning the chicken, Hinata had put rice in the rice cooker "So Hanabi, if you don't mind me asking do you like Konohamaru?"

"I've known him since fourth grade." Tsunade nodded "It's only natural to develop more feeling for someone you've known for a while."

Hanabi look at Tsunade "Do you have someone you loved before Lady Tsunade?" Hinata noticed the quick flash of sadness in her eyes "I did."

"Sorry I didn't mean-" Hanabi said feeling bad she asked. Tsunade smiled "It's fine. His name was Dan." Hinata and Hanabi saw Tsunade sit down. By now the food was done, so Hinata turned the stove and the rice out of the cooker and had set everything on the table and the coffee brewing.

"He went missing on a special ANBU mission a few years back." Hinata frowned "I'm sorry to hear that."

"They found his body near the Oto border." Hinata put her hand on her shoulder "I'm sorry." Tsunade cleared his throat "Yeah me too, so Hanabi where is Konohamaru taking you for dinner?"

Hanabi shrugged her shoulders "I don't know." Hinata placed four plates and took out some orange juice out.

"Good morning ladies" Hiashi said. Tsunade and they smiled "Morning" Hiashi walked over to the coffee that was almost done brewing "Coffee smells good."

Once everyone was seated down Hiashi asked "So any plans today?" he looked at all three of them.

"Well-" Hanabi was picking up some squash with her fork before she said "-Konohamaru and I have dinner plans today in Otafuku town. If it's okay with you?" Hiashi looked at her and nodded saying it was okay he always like Konohamaru so he approved. "Will he be picking you up?" she nodded.

"So are you and him-"

"No daddy, we're not dating, we're just friends." Hiashi always had a good relationship with his girls, he always did and he couldn't help but smile "What?" Hanabi questioned "Baby, he likes you not just as a friend. He's just a shy boy."

"How do you know?" Hanabi asked. It was pretty much the same thing Hinata had said. Hiashi took a sip of his coffee and smiled "-by the way he looks at you." Hanabi put the fork down "Do I need glasses because I don't see it."

Tsunade smiled "Does he tease you?" Hanabi nodded "Never I a mean way, in a way that makes me smile" Tsunade smiled and nodded "A guy who makes you laugh with a few teases likes you, he just doesn't know another way to tell you or express himself"

Hanabi smiled as Tsunade continued "-and maybe you don't see it because you think he doesn't like you and you don't pick up on the small things, like when he smiles at you when you have crumbs on your mouth and wipes them with his thumb or opens the door for you, or even comes to the front door instead of texting you a simple I'm here."

Now that she thought about it Hanabi smiled "On our way to Moegi's house last time he let me play K-pop and he's not fund of K-pop." A smile appeared upon her face. Tsunade smiled "See it's the little things that count and he's making an effort to get to know you even better."

"Is it weird if the girl asks then guy?" Hanabi asked. "Weird no. Unique yes." Tsunade told her "-the world in general is used to the guy asking the girl but where does it say the girl can't ask the guy."

Hiashi smiled "Your mother asked me out on a date." Hinata looked at him "Really?" Hiashi nodded "How?" Hanabi asked.

"We were in collage and we had Chemistry together-" Hanabi smiled at that "Ironic isn't it?" he asked and Hanabi nodded "-well after the first term finale she found me in the library and ask me if it was weird if a girls asks the guy out. I told her no because it's unique-" he smiled "-then she said well would you like to go out on a date with me?"

Tsunade smiled as he talked "I was a bit speechless but said yes, she said the time and place but she said she'd pick me up. She did and we had gone to Otafuku town during the end of the month rice cake festival."

"Wow, I didn't think Hanako was-" Hiashi smiled "She was a special girl" he told Tsunade.

After they had finished and Tsunade and Hiashi had offered to clean up Hinata and Hanabi made some popcorn and told them that they were more than welcome to watch the movie when they were done.

"You've raised your girls well, Hiashi." She told him. "They're growing too fast for my liking but I'm glad I have a strong relationship with them."

"So what movie do you want to see?" Hinata looked at the clock it was only eleven o'clock "Hmm we could watch Princess Mononoke" Hanabi nodded "Sounds good"

Once the movie had been over Hinata tuned the DVD player off "So what time are you going to Naruto's place?"

"In about two hours, he said he'd pick me up since he'd be coming back from the training grounds of the ANBU camp."

"You want to get ready? Want to go a little shopping?" Hinata smiled "You want to buy something for tonight?" Hanabi nodded "Yes, I don't think I should go in jeans and a shirt like I always do."

"Don't try to change yourself either, Konohamaru likes you for who you are, not what you wear."

"Nice job Naruto!" Chouji told him. The training for today had ended about two hours earlier than other days, just for the matter that most of the ANBU were still in Suna. He was about to text Hinata but stopped as he saw Konohamaru outside the camp "Hey Konohamaru, what's up?"

"I need advice, pronto!" Naruto put his phone on his pocket "What's up?" the browned spike teenager looked at the guy he'd looked up since he was in middle school. "I have a date with Hanabi."

"And you're still breathing?!" he asked him "Why wouldn't I?" Naruto looked at him "Haven't you met Neji?" he told him. Konohamaru took a deep breath "I don't even know if it's a date!" Konohamaru asked himself.

"Is it?" a now somewhat confused Naruto asked. Konohamaru looked at Naruto "I asked her if she wanted to try this new restaurant I heard opened in Otafuku town."

Naruto smiled "You sly fox, you. Wait so what's the problem?"

"I want to ask her to be my girlfriend; I want to make it special." He told the man he saw as a brother.

"Let's talk over some noodles" Naruto told him. As they were making their way there Konohamaru said "I don't know if she even likes me like, I like her."

"What makes you say that?"

"I think she only seems me as a friend. I'm in the friend-zone! Everyone knows once you're in the friend-zone-"

"Hey don't think like that, if there is a way in then there is a way out.

"How where you planning on asking her?"

"Well after dinner I wanted to take her to the aquarium-"

"Nice" Naruto smiled, once in the ramen shop old man Teuchi had given both of his regular costumers a beef special with a thanks and a smile from both Konohamaru and Naruto, they went back to their conversation "-anything special in the aquarium you had plan to do besides watching food swim around?"

"Watch a movie." Naruto slurped some of the noodles "You've planned well, Konohamaru. I'm impressed."

"So what do you like about her?" Naruto saw the small spark in his eyes and smiled "Everything; from her quite yet-don't-mess-with-me personality to her beautiful pearl eyes and just her in general. I've known her for like ever…I just didn't think I'd like her more than a friend."

"It's only natural that developed feelings of more than a friend because you've known her almost all your life. So what make you think she doesn't like you like you like her?"

"I try to do things for her but I think she sees the things I do more like of a brother rather than a guy who likes her."

"What do you do?" Naruto asked. Konohamaru scratched the back of his head "Umm last time we were eating I wiped some crumbs from her face –and well I kind of tease her, in a good way never in a mean way and I let her listen to K-pop on our way to Moegi's house, I'm not a big fan of K-pop."

"So you're giving her likes a try, that's a good start."

"When is the date you don't think it's a date-date?" Konohamaru took out his phone around four o'clock so like in two hours.

"Wait its two o'clock?" Naruto took out his phone "You have plans?" Konohamaru asked, Naruto nodded "I'm picking up Hinata in about an hour or so, I've wanted to show her Kyuubi, my red fox"

"Wait when did you get a fox?" he told him, Konohamaru didn't even question him. "I rescued him but this isn't about Kyuubi. If you want to impress her make sure to buy her something she likes"

"She likes banana milk"

"Well forget roses get her the milk!" Naruto told him with a smile. Konohamaru then thought about it "I don't know what I should wear."

"Don't overdo it, is she likes you then she won't care what you wear or how much money you spend on her, it's the quality time you spend with her."

Naruto was right, he's known Hanabi and she wasn't the kind of girl to look at price tags, she loves going to antique stores and going to drifts stores and just have fun.

Konohamaru frowned "-I just don't know how to drop the question."

"Just tell her how you feel and ask her if she wants to be your girl" looking at the time he said "I'm heading over to Hinata' in a bit, you want to go with me?"

"I still have to buy her the milk." Naruto looked at his cellphone "We got time, want to go do that."

"Thanks Naruto, I'd like that." Naruto had paid for the ramen and said thank and both of them headed over to the market where according to Konohamaru Hanabi said they had the best banana milk ever.

Hinata had been helping Hanabi with her nails and her hair. Once the movie was done Hinata had let Hanabi shower, after changing into pair of Demi black skinny jeans, a grey v neck shirt with a white under shirt, it wasn't cold outside so she didn't need a sweater and a pair of grey combat boots Hinata had taken the opportunity to shower and change as well.

Now as Hanabi's nails were drying her phone chimed indicating she had a message, she had asked if Hinata could open it for her, she did and showed her the phone on my way oh by the way Naruto is with me to pick up Hinata, see you in a few "Oh my gosh Kanohamaru is on his way and Naruto is with him to pick you up I guess."

Hinata smiled "Nervous?" Hanabi nodded "Just a bit. How do I look?" Hinata smiled "Good, you look good Hanabi." The dogs barked and got out of the room as the doorbell rang and with that queue both Hinata and Hanabi headed downstairs to see Tsunade and their father with both of the guys.

"Hey Hinata-" Naruto smiled at her "Hello Naruto, Konohamaru." She looked at the guy teenage boy next to Naruto.

Konohamaru' height difference from Naruto was about a foot so; both still were taller than both her and her sister. "Hi Hinata, congratulations." a small blush appeared on her face, as she knew he was talking about her pregnancy.

"Thank you" she told him, a throat was cleared and it came from Tsunade "So when will you be bringing Hanabi back?" Konohamaru looked at the mid-age women with long blond hair and questionable brown eyes that said I'm-waiting -for-an-answer.

"Ten o'clock, ma'am-" Tsunade raised a perfect blonde brow "Nine thirty-"

"Okay um well-" Hanabi said and clapped her hands to try to break the ice "Daddy, I'll see you at ten. Come on Konohamaru" she said as she hooked her arm with his and began pulling him out the door.

"Be c-careful" Hinata told to the both of them. Hiashi looked at Tsunade with a smile "He's a good kid, Tsunade."

Tsunade looked at the front door and then back at Hiashi "Yeah, well forget you were a teenager boy going to puberty once."

Naruto took this time to say "You don't have to worry about him Granny Tsunade, I told him that I see both Hinata and Hanabi as sister's and as much as I love that kid like a brother. I told him I'd break an arm and leg of his choice if he broke her heart and trust me Neji would do worse and Konohamaru knows it."

Tsunade smiled totally ignoring the word granny once more and said "You're one strange kid." Naruto smiled at that, "Thanks, you ready Hina?" Hinata nodded "I'll be home later."

"Take pictures of the little guy" Hiashi told her "I will." Naruto smiled "He's a killer at posing." Hinata grabbed her keys from the small table near the bottom of the stairs and as Naruto waited for her she smiled and said bye again. Opening the door for her Naruto smiled at Tsunade "Bye granny"

Naruto had walked from the ANBU training academy; it helped that is was nice outside. "I like her, for a granny she's cool." Hinata laughed at Naruto comment.

"I'm soooo sorry about that-" clearly Hanabi was a bit embarrassed. Konohamaru and her were now in his dark blue 2011 Camaro "It's okay, Bee" she looked at Konohamaru at the sudden nickname. She hadn't heard that nickname since like middle school "You said that was Hinata's private nurse right?"

Hanabi mentally shook her head "Yeah" Konohamaru looked at her face, which was bit red "You feeling okay? You look kind of like a ripped tomato?" Hanabi looked at him and tried not to smile at his comment and said nothing.

But Konohamaru had that whole spikey hair and black tight black shirt and them jeans…ugh there was no way she couldn't blush "What? Hey, Hana-Bee if it makes you feel better, I'd squish you and make you into sauce." Hanabi just couldn't hold in her laugh at his comment "Thanks? I think" And on top of that, the nickname followed by a cute comment and a killer smile.

Konohamaru was now on an open road "So-" where was this conversation going? "What?" Hanabi asked. She was trying to play in cool so far she was succeeding "Salad or burger?"

"Hm?" Hanabi looked at Konohamaru at the sudden question he'd asked her "Burger, you know that. Why?"

"Just checking" he smiled as he continued driving. Hanabi was still a bit confused at the sudden weird question.

Konohamaru had asked salad or burger because well, he knew Hanabi would devour a burger with no hesitation about it, she was the kind of the girl who ate what she wanted but worked it out later. He loved that about her and he'd asked because he didn't want that to change.

"What if I had said salad?" she asked out of curiosity. He saw Konohamaru shook his head "I like a girl who would eat burger and hot care about the calories." Hanabi didn't know what to say to that, I mean what could she say?

Konohamaru looked at her again "Again with the tomato face, Bee?" she bit her lip, oh he was teasing her. "Do all the Hyuuga girls blush?" unfortunately they had fair skin so blushes could be seen miles away.

"Only when we don't like someone-" she smiled "Then you don't like me?" Hanabi nodded "Mhm"

A smile appeared on his face and he looked at her "Good, then that means I get to see your blushes even more."

Naruto opened the door to his apartment "Come on in" Hinata remember coming to Naruto place a few times during her high school years. One, for homework with the rookies and two was to bring homemade meals to him. It was a two bedroom apartment; with one bathroom, a kitchen, the dining area and the living room.

The carpet was a cream color, the egg shell color walls where decorated in picture frames of him and friends, towards the center of the frames was a first headband that had the village symbol on it, it was the one Iruka had given him. Iruka is special to Naruto. Naruto looked at him like a brother but Iruka was like a father figure to him.

Nothing had really changed. They headed to the kitchen and Naruto opened the fridge, Hinata was just happy to see more fruit and veggies rather than just milk and juice.

"Do you want something to drink?" Hinata shook her head "No thank you" she sat down on the brown two seat sofa and smiled as the little fox came out from the bedroom. "Hey-" a small yawn came from the fox followed by a small stretch "He's cute."

Naruto looked at Hinata and couldn't help but frowned and his grip on the canned soda tightened. Damn Sasuke, why did he have to leave? He blinked away as he felt cold liquid on his right hand.

"Naruto!" he snapped out of it as he saw he had popped the can open. "Shit-" Hinata looked concerned as she grabbed some towels and went bent down to help him clean them "-are you okay?" Naruto kneeled down and looked at her "I should have gone after Sasuke and stopped from leaving"

Hinata looked at his sea blue eyes "N-Naruto?" his sudden comment felt like salt in her wound, she knew he didn't mean to bring it up but this had hurt him too.

"I'm so sorry Hinata-" she saw his blue eyes filled with sadness and anger. Hinata bit her lip and she cried "Naruto-" Naruto hugged her, letting her tears fall on his black shirt "I miss him too" she heard him.

She knew Naruto and Sasuke had become close so this must be hard for Naruto. Hinata had made a promise to herself, and that was that she wouldn't cry for him but seeing Naruto, a longtime friend cry over the same person she'd cried over too.

"I'll bring him back, Hinata. I swear." He felt Hinata shake her head, she pulled away from him and looked up at him, with tears still falling from her eyes she said "N-no. I don't want to see him, ever again. My baby and I d-don't need him." Naruto looked at her, she is a strong girl.

But if one day she asked to bring him back, he wouldn't hesitate. After a few minutes he had put some water to boil for tea. Hinata had been quite for a while now. Was she mad he's brought him up "I'm sorry about-"

Hinata shook her head, last thing she wanted was to make Naruto feel bad "Don't be. The reality is that he's not coming back, it's hard but it's the reality-" Naruto handed her the tea and sat down next to her.

Naruto then thought about a conversation that could make the last conversation go away "I wonder how Konohamaru is doing." Naruto asked her. Hinata blew on her tea before she said "Hanabi was a bit nervous."

Naruto chuckled "He looked a bit scared of Granny Tsunade." Hinata agreed "Tsunade like him, he's just testing him. I think Konohamaru past."

"I hope so. Hanabi always was special to Konohamaru." Hinata smiled at that, if anyone knew Konohamaru, it was Naruto.

"Come on Ten, time to go-" came the voice of Neji "Coming!" they were still Otafuku town and after eating breakfast they headed over to the Jaguar to make their way back to Konoha.

They had stayed the night because he just needs to get over the Sasuke in Suna thing, so he and Tenten had gone over to a bar to get a few drinks and just talk.

"You think your uncle would be mad?" Neji shook his head "No, would you stop worrying" he said with a smile "Well, excuse me if I want to be in Hiashi' good side."

"Are sides are his good side Tenten, you have to stay on his good sides." Ten took a small breath "-Ten, he likes you. Trust me." they both got in the car and began to make their trip back.

Orochimaru looked at the sound four; since Tayuya was the one who was stupid enough to get caught if anything he thought it would be Jirobo to either die or be caught.

"Sssso you're telling me that Tayuya wassss captured and taken back to Konoha?" Udon stood his ground and with fear in his eyes he said "Yes"

Ororchimaru had been out with Sasuke but before he left to his dark room he gave him the news of his little ex-girlfriend. Then he got the news of how the Kazekage was in Konoha. So he couldn't waste time, he had given the sound five some sound shinobi and they had made their way to Suna.

"Lord Orochimaru we will retrieve her." Orochimaru cold yellow eyes looked at one of the twins "You are a disgrace to the village, to me. Who was watching over Tayuya?" his eyes looked at each of them.

Jirobo bowed "I am sorry master" Orochimaru stood up "Oh, thissss could have happened to anyone-" he stood up and grabbed his sword of Kusanagi, a favorite of his and let the blade sharpen as he dragged it on the floor. Jirobo swallowed the huge lump on his throat "-Jirobo, what do you think I would do if you were injured?"

Jirobo didn't even get a change to exhale the breath he was holding it before he answered, as Orochimaru inserted the sword into Jirobo's heart "-I'd kill you. Just like you sssshould have done to Tayuya!" he hissed in his ear.

Ukon and Sakon only watched as Jirobo fell but not before Orochimaru took out the sword and took off his head. Kimimaru and Kabuto had missed this little show because, Orochimaru knew that both would have killed her on the spot and would have gone back to battle.

"I want Tayuya dead!" he hissed, the twins bowed and answered "Yes." Orochimaru walked past them.

"Get rid of the body" and with that Orochimaru was gone into the darkness.

"You get the head" Ukon told his brother Sakon.

Tenten got out and stretched her leg "Oh gosh it feels great to stretch my legs." Neji slightly shook his head but cracked his back "I wonder if Hinata is home?" Neji looked at Tenten "Want ramen Ten?" Ten nodded with excitement "Ramen sounds delicious right now"

Once in the ramen shop Teuchi smiled as he saw the Hyuuga shinobi enter his restaurant with his girlfriend.

"Neji-" a nod of recognition came from Neji "-congratulations!" old man Teuchi said with a smile.

"Excuse me?" Neji said confused "Dad" he heard Ayame from the back of the shop "I don't think he knows-" Ayame told him. Now that she thought about it, both Neji and Tenten were not in the meeting when Hinta had announced she was pregnant. Has Hinata even told him yet?

"Well-?" Ayame asked as she looked at both Tenten and Neji. Neji didn't like this game of guessing "Well, what?" he was a bit mad now.

"I don't think I should be the one telling you this-" Neji stood up "What is it Ayame?!" as he crush his fist on to the wooden counter. Tenten held on to Neji forearm "Calm down" she looked at Ayame "Sorry. Neji calm down, please."

Neji looked at her with his white pearl eyes "Ayame-" his voice was still rough but she could tell he was still upset "-I'm sorry, it's not my place to say." Neji; as mad as he was, he respected Ayame because whatever it was, she didn't say.

"Sorry-" Neji told her; still as much as he respected her he still needed to cool his head, so he left.

"Sorry, he's a bit hot headed" Ayame smiled but then frowned "-It's okay." She then watched Tenten go find Neji "I hope he take sit well" she told herself.

Konohamaru parked the car "Well we're here." Hanabi opened the door and smiled "It's so pretty!" by the time they had arrived at Otafuku it was night, and the lights of the town. Konohamaru looked at Hanabi as her eyes shines with the lights.

She looked at him with a smile still on her face "So, about that burger?"

They headed to a street food stand and ordered two burger and fries "Just one drink, please" Hanabi said, Konohamaru gave her a questionable look "-I won't be able to finish mine, so I thought we'd shared one." Konohamaru nodded "Okay, sounds romantic." Hanabi smiled at his comment but didn't say anything.

Once they had their food and had gotten a table near the water fall that had some light up candles on top of floating lilies.

"Wait, so is this the restaurant you told me about?" he shook his head "-but you were hungry and said burger so-" he smiled "-I guess we'd save it for another time." Hanabi smiled as she picked up a fry "-It's a date."

After finishing they were now walking around the town. Konohamaru looked this hand as Hanabi hand for the third time had brush his hand or slightly bumped it, guess she hadn't noticed because she was so focused in the beautiful lights everywhere.

Konohamaru took the opportunity to gently let his fingers hug hers. Hanabi looked at him and his hand as he had wrapped around his "You have wild hands you know, it wouldn't stop hitting mine, so I figures I put it into a straightjacket"

Hanabi bit her bottom lip, she started feeling the butterflies in her stomach but she didn't pull away, slowly she wrapped her around his.

He looked at her "Bee" her eyes reflected the beautiful lights "Y-yes?" she looked up and him; it was no surprise that men where just a bit taller than women and Konohamaru was maybe a foot taller than her, she looked at his brown eyes, her throat had become a bit dry but she bit her bottom lip once more so she wouldn't stutter.

"We've known each other for a while, right-" Hanabi nodded "-and well-" Hanabi smiled and with a deep breath she asked "Konohmaru, would you like to go out with me?"

Konohamaru looked at her "I'd like that." Hanabi bit her lip (without known) Konohamaru couldn't resist any long, he always found that very attractive of her, so he leaded and brushed his lips against hers.

Naruto had walked Hinata back "I could have walked back with the dogs, Naruto."

Naruto shook his head "Nope, I'm not going to risk it with your pregnancy. I have to take care of both of you, Hina."

"Pregnancy?" Hinata turned around at the sound of "N-Neji?" her heart almost stopped as her ears had heard his voice. "-You're pregnant?" his voice was low and was filled with something else.

"Neji, calm down." Neji looked at Naruto "Stay out of this Naruto!" his voice sounded angered than he wanted it too. Hinata is pregnant! And if he was right, which he was he was and that is what made his blood boil. It was Sasuke baby! The traitor of the village!

Hinata could see his eyes look down into her very soul. Hinata had only seen this kind of eyes, years ago in middle school, when Neji had taken out all his anger on Hinata. Naruto could see Hinata slowly shrinking under Neji's stare.

He stepped in from Hinata "No!" Naruto told him firmly "-if you can't accept the fact that she's with child and that the father is someone who isn't here anymore then leave, I don't care if you're her cousin, if you make her cry…I swear I will-"

"N-Naruto" a small voice was heard from behind him, he looked back to see a small shaking Hinata, holding on to her tears.

Neji saw a shaken up Hinata behind Naruto, and then it hit him, the total utter feeling of shit. He took a breath "Hinata-"

Hinata shook her head and looked away "P-please leave me a-alone, Neji" she sniffed and letting a few tears fall before she dug her head onto Naruto back. Naruto blue eyes looked at Neji "You heard her Neji, leave" he growled.

Neji had never seen a side of Naruto that actually made him scared. He didn't want to get Hinata more shaken up than she already was so he nodded and made his way somewhere that wasn't here.

As he turned around the corner of the house when he saw her, "Neji! I've been looking for you, I guess I should have checked your house first but I got a bit distracted in the small shopping areas-" she stopped as Neji walked past her.

"Neji, are you okay?" Tenten asked, he kept his gaze down but she could see that his eyes held a lot of emotions. Had something happen?

"Can I stay at you r place tonight, Ten?" she didn't ask what was wrong she just nodded and said "Yeah, sure."

Hinata cried once Neji had left "Hinata?" Naruto said, I mean what else could he say? He turned around and as she rested her head on his chest, he just let her cry.

She didn't think Neji was going to have to find out this way. Or take it how he did but he did, she saw anger and disappointment in his eyes. She told him to leave because…well because at that moment he scared her; had Neji even realized that he had his Byakugan.

He was mad. He was disappointed at her.

Naruto had recommended they if go inside, once inside Naruto took Hinata to the sofa.

"Welcome bac- is something wrong Hinata?" Tsunade had greeted them and as soon as she saw Hinata's red puffy eyes she pretty much ran to the sofa and asked what had happen "Neji happened." Naruto answered for her.

"Neji?" Tsunade then put the piecesd together "You told him?" Hinata shook his head "He overheard me, I'm sorry Hinata".

Naruto told her "It's not y-your fault. It wouldn't have matter it he found it by me or you or anybody else, h-his reaction would have been the s-same, and that's what hurts the most." Tsunade furrowed her brows "Where is Neji?"

"I think he would have gone to Tenten house." Tsunade didn't want to make Hinata worry and leave to find him right away so she'd wait until tonight to talk to him.

Naruto's voice chimed, "Hinata will you be okay?" Hinata nodded "Yes, thank you Naruto." A smile appeared on the blue eyes walking sunshine "I'll text you tonight, take care of her Granny Tsunade"

Later that night, when Hinata had fallen asleep Tsunade looked at Kujo "So-" the dog tilted his head in curiosity "-you want to go visit Tenten?"
