Hold On Hinata

Chapter Nine
Unexpected Surprises
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
"Naruto-sensei this is stupid. There is no point in doing this." Hanabai growled as she pulled a few weeds from around some carrots.
"Yes there is. This place is one of the main suppliers of food stuffs for Konoha. If this stuff doesn't get done there won't be any food for Konoha. So get to work or you don't get any lunch!" Naruto ordered seriously. Hanabai was a real pain in the butt. She didn't want to work, didn't want to listen, constantly insulted every one, and did absolutely everything the hard way. Naruto sighed; it was going to be along time before Hinata and he were going to manage to beat some sense into that girl. "You won't get paid either!"
"Aniki! I need your help!" Tite yelled from the wood pile. He had taken to calling Naruto aniki as of late for some unknown reason. Naruto didn't mind. He actually kinda liked it.
"Okay, I'll be over in just a second." Naruto turned to Hinata, who was teaching Miki, Ichigo, and Hitomi how to weed the plants quickly and thoroughly. "Ne, Hinata can you keep an eye on Hanabai while I go help Tite for a while?"
"Sure Naruto."
"Arigatou." Naruto then sped over to Tite. "What do you need Tite?"
"This wood isn't splitting right aniki." Tite showed how it wasn't cutting evenly.
"Ah.. Maybe you should try to keep your splitter straight when you try to split it. Go on ahead and try it."
"Hai, aniki." Crack. It split perfectly and Tite smiled broadly. "Arigatou aniki. It worked!"
"Yeah, no problem."
"Come back here you little imbecile!" Ichigo whooshed pass Naruto as Hanabai came stampeding after him, kunai drawn. "I'm gonna kill you when I get my hands on you!" Naruto noticed as Hanabai passed him the large black letters written in permanent ink on the back of her shirt. It read; "I'm a stuck up little prissy. Kick me. I deserve it!" Naruto couldn't help it, he just had to laugh. It was just too funny.
"Aren't you going to stop them Sensei?" Asked Hitomi. Naruto watched as Ichigo slowed down and headed directly for a tree. Hanabai was hot on his heels and didn't even notice the ever looming tree infront of them. He let her get so close that she could almost touch him, but then suddenly flipped over her. Hanabai turned back to look at him and smack! She ran straight into the tree.
"Nope." He had absolutely no intentions of stopping them.
"You mean she actually ran into the tree?" Asked Sasuke in disbelief. "I find that hard to believe. How could anyone fall for that? That's the oldest trick in the book!"
"Hahaha. I know, that's why it's so bloody funny." Naruto laughed as he recalled the incident.
"That girl has got to be pretty dense." Sasuke commented.
"She is! Not to mention the nastiest little brat I've ever met!" Naruto grimaced as he thought of all the stuff Hanabai had already done to him to try and get her way.
"Well she is a Hyuuga." Drawled Shika; earning a glare from Neji. "No offense Neji, but that pretty much comes with the territory."
"Shut up." Neji snapped angrily. "I for one will not believe that Hanabai-sama fell for such an obvious and simple minded trick.
"Well she did." Naruto frowned.
"Hmph. Let's talk about something else." Neji snapped at Naruto with a hint of anger in his voice. "So tell me Naruto, is Hinata-sama officially your girlfriend now?" Naruto nearly choked on his ramen.
"I've been seeing her for almost a month now you idiot! Of course she's my girlfriend!" Naruto was quick to answer.
"You realize that the remodeling and renovations on the Hyuuga estate are almost finished don't you? That means Hinata-sama isn't going to be able to stay with you much longer." Naruto paused; not going to be able to stay with him anymore? He couldn't even remember what it was like without her living with him, let alone imagine it. She hadn't mentioned it yet, so maybe she didn't like the idea either. Of course she didn't like the idea! There was no way she could like it.
"Ano.. Excuse me?" Naruto torn himself from his thoughts to see a young boy smiling up at him.
"Yes?"
"Would you please sign this Naruto-sama?" The boy held up a cd case. It was Anbu 7's new album. Naruto smiled happily when he looked at the cover. It was just him and Hinata. Naruto was dressed in a midnight blue dress shirt that was hanging open revealing his toned abs, a white belt with a chain hanging down from it, and dark blue tight fitting blue jeans. He had a chain necklace on and no shoes or socks. Hinata on the other hand was wearing a tight fitting black t-shirt with a read stripe down the middle, a black mini skirt with a belt, and a belt like accessory around her neck. She also wasn't wearing any shoes or socks.
Naruto was siting on a set of stairs that looked to be somewhere out doors. He was leaning up against the side of the wall that served as a railing and his legs were sprawled out on the stairs. Hinata was seated a step above him and her one leg was between his legs while the other was beside his left leg. Hinata was looking intently into Naruto's eyes and had her hands supporting her from behind. Naruto had one hand on her arm and was also looking deep into her eyes. The title of the album was written in fancy lettering to left of Hinata's head.
At Last
Anbu 7
Naruto flipped the CD over and looked at the back. It was a picture of him wearing the same thing he had been on the front only he looked like he was soaking wet. The background was a dreary looking street, the sky was grey, and it was defiantly raining.
"Sure kid." Naruto took the pen the boy offered and quickly signed his name on the CD.
"Arigatou!" Grabbing back the cd; the kid smiled thankfully and ran off into the crowd.
"Anyways, I really don't think Hinata will want to leave. If she doesn't, she is free to stay with me for as long as she wants. I wouldn't mind in the slightest. If she does.. Well I'm not going to be very happy about it. I can tell you that." Naruto sighed a little worried.
"Ah don't worry Naruto. Hinata will defiantly want to stay with you instead of going home. Trust me." Sasuke actually smiled genuinely.
"Your right Sasuke. I'm just worrying too much." He laughed it off, there really was no way Hinata would actually want to leave him. Naruto smiled when he felt the warm arms wrap around him from behind. "Hey honey. You guys are late you know that?" He tilted his head back to see a pouty faced Hinata.
"It wasn't my fault. Besides everyone has the right to be late every once and a while." She smiled and gave him a quick kiss, before sitting down in the vacant seat next him.
"Where's everyone else Hinata-sama?" Neji curiously asked.
"Oh they're just goggling over wedding dresses with Tenten. You know, the really expensive ones." Neji's eye twitched involuntarily.
"Expensive? I gotta go. I'll be back in a few minutes." Neji stormed off in the direction Hinata had come from. Probably going to search for his wife to be and her all too influencing friends.
"Hehe. He fell for it." Giggled Tenten as she came out from behind some nearby plants. Sakura and Ino followed.
"Oy. That was a dirty trick." Stated Shikamaru as he stifled a yawn.
"Shikamaru can you come with me for a second? I have something very important to tell you." Ino muttered while blushing ever so slightly.
"'eh sure." Shikamaru got up and followed Ino off into the crowds.
"I wonder what that was all about." Sasuke wondered out loud.
"Who knows?" Said Sakura as she made herself comfortable next to him. "Have you guys ordered already?"
"Yeah." Sasuke answered.
"Okay. Should we wait for Ino or should we just order now guys?" Questioned Sakura.
"Let's wait." Said Tenten.
"Okay." Sakura shrugged. "I don't think Hinata is very interested in eating right now anyways." Sakura pointed to Hinata and Naruto; who were currently making out.
"That's just normal Sakura." Shrugged Tenten. "Oh look they're coming back!" Shikamaru was walking usually fast and seemed to be very pale. It looked like someone had just told him he was going to die or something.
"Oy. Shikamaru what's wrong?" Sasuke inquired as Shikamaru sat down.
"Shock." Shikamaru said as Ino took a seat beside him.
"What we're you guys talking about anyways?" Naruto asked.
"Oh, just some stuff." Dodged Ino; she looked like she was on the verge of tears.
"Come on Ino, Hinata, Sakura." Hinata and Sakura nodded and stood up while Tenten dragged Ino out of her seat.
"Where are they going?" Asked Sasuke dumbfounded as their girlfriends took off.
"Probably the bathroom." Naruto replied.
"The bathroom? Why?"
"Beats me, man. Beats me."
"Okay, Ino spill everything!" Demanded Sakura once they had reached the safety of the women's restroom.
"I can't."
"Yes you can. Now spill." Chided Hinata.
"Fine.. Well.. you see.. Shika and I kinda did something.. And it kinda led to something else.. which could get us both into a lot of trouble.." Ino mumbled so it was almost incomprehensive.
"Okay, but what did you do?" Asked Tenten.
"We kinda.. we.. umm.."
"You had sex didn't you?" Sakura implied jokingly.
"Yeah."
"Nani? You're serious? I was only kidding, Ino!" Said a shocked Sakura.
"Well I'm not. Now I'm pregnant."
"I take it he didn't take it very well." Sighed Hinata.
"No he didn't. Shit. Shit. Shit. SHIT! I hate this! Why did this have to happen?" Tears started to roll down Ino's face as she slid against the wall down to the floor. "Why?" She cried.
Flashback Start
"Shika I have something to tell you."
"Well spit it out then. I don't have all day."
"You don't have to be so mean about it."
"Sorry. I'm just in a bad mood today."
"Well maybe I can change that."
"Go on."
"Shika.. I'm going to have a baby! Isn't that great?"
"A baby?" Shikamaru had turned sickly pale. He turned around and quickly began to walk back.
"Shika?" Ino ran infront of him and cut him off. "Shika aren't you happy?"
"No." He continued to walk away.
"Why? Why Nara Shikamaru?" There was no reply.
Flashback End
"Idiot. Why didn't you tell her you liked the fact you were gonna be a father?" Asked Sasuke. "She's probably in there with the other girls crying her eyes out because of you!"
"I know.."
"Shikamaru if you really like that she's gonna have a baby go tell her that. Tell her, before you lose her." Advised Naruto.
"Thanks guys." Shikamaru got up from the table and walked over to the girls rest room. He knocked. "Ino? Are you in there?"
"Go away you teme!" Came Ino's distressed voice from inside the restroom.
"I'm not going to go away. I just want to talk. Please come out."
"No!"
"Ino I'm sorry. So please come out and talk to me." Shika said softly. To his relief Ino came out of the restroom, but, to his dismay, Hinata, Tenten, and Sakura also came out. "I'd like to talk alone." The three nodded and went back to the table.
"What do you need to talk to me about teme?" Shikamaru looked Ino over. Her eyes were a little red and puffy and there was still a little wetness on her cheeks. They had been right; he did make her cry and it made him feel horrible.
"Ino, I'm sorry for what I did earlier. I was just so shocked that I didn't know what to say. The truth is that I'm astatic that you're going to have a baby." Shikamaru stated nervously.
"Thank you Shika. Thank you for saying that. It means everything to me right now." Ino said in relief as Shikamaru drew her into a tight embrace.
"Promise you'll never leave me, Ino." Shikamaru held Ino close as he whispered the words into her ear.
"I promise." Ino whispered.
"That was not funny Tenten!" Growled Neji. "Not funny in the least!"
"Oh, my Neji whatever are you talking about?" Tenten asked a little too innocently.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" Tenten and company had set up a little gift for Neji. His very own make over! Done exclusively at the most expensive wedding apparel shop in the mall! "How do you get this stuff off?" Neji hurriedly tried to scrub the forcefully applied makeup from his face with his napkin.
"You don't." Replied Tenten. Neji looked absolutely horrified. Not to mention a little scary since he had too heavy, poorly applied makeup on and his hair was in braids and pigtails.
"Tenten.." Neji warned in a dangerous voice.
"Opps I gotta go! Cya later guys." Tenten waved goodbye and then took off with Neji hot on her heelsl.
"This is a good picture. Excellent blackmail material." Said Naruto as he examined the newly taken picture on his digital camera. "Who want's a copy?"
