Chapter 9
"Hokage, I was wondering if I could have the day off."
Kakashi looked to see Yamato standing in front of his desk. "If you really want the day off I don't see why not. Is there any reason you need today off?"
Yamato rolled his eyes, Kakashi was so nosy. "Well if you must know I have few projects to complete."
Kakashi raised his brow. "Projects you say?" Yamato nodded. "Well send for Shikamaru, he'll take your place today."
"Will do." With Yamato left the building.

"Hinata I had the best time last night."
"That's good to hear Ino," Hinata said with a small smile.
"Hey Ino, Hinata!" They turned around to see Naruto jogging towards them. "Where you guys headed?"
"We were on our way to the library," Hinata replied.
Naruto gave them a confused look. "What's at the library?"
Ino laughed, while Hinata giggled. "Naruto, books are at the library. You know people go there to read."
"I know that, I'm not that dumb Ino," Naruto said folding his arms and pouting.
"Would you like to join us?" Hinata asked.
"Uh maybe some other time, I'm not big on books. I really wanted to invite you guys to a little get together tonight. Everyone is going to be there."
"Sounds fun, you want to go Hinata?" Ino asked.
"Sure."
"Well I'll see you guys later! And remember it's going to be by the lake!" Naruto yelled running away.
"He's so cute," Ino said smiling.
"Yeah," Hinata replied as they made their way to the library.
Once inside Ino took a seat and begin looking through various magazines as Hinata browsed the shelves. Ino didn't even think to ask Hinata what she was looking for the reason she wanted to come to the library; because like Naruto she wasn't one to read books often.
"What's with that huge book?" Ino asked as Hinata sat across from her. "Are you planning on checking it out or something?"
"Oh, well no. This book cannot be checked out. The only reason I am able to see it is because of the Hokage."
"Wow, is it some sort of secret jutsu book?" Ino was now really curious.
"No, not exactly."
"Well what's in it? I'm dying to know," Ino said leaning over the table.
"It's about the Hatake Clan," Hinata said softly.
"Oh so you want to learn more about Kakashi huh? Why is it a secret and can't leave the library?"
"Well you see Kakashi is the last known of the Hatake. It was said that the Hatake were loners and often wondered off, never staying together very long. I just want to know more about his heritage."
"Oh I see, well if you want I can leave you alone to read. I'm sure I can find something else to occupy my time. It's not like I can read it anyway," Ino said standing up.
"Thanks Ino."
"No problem," Ino said patting Hinata's shoulder and leaving her alone with her book.
Hinata sat the book down on the table and began to scan through. The Hatake were extremely interesting people; a people of pride and honor. Hinata also noticed that the silver hair and grey eyes were a signature Hatake trait, sort of like her and the Hyuga. The name Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, caught Hinata's attention. This man was Kakashi's father.
Hinata never asked about his parents because they were both deceased. Like her mother his mother past during childbirth and she only assumed his father died during battle. She just didn't know how wrong she was. She was beginning to understand Kakashi's distant behavior, alone with the fact he lost his entire team.
"Sakumo," Hinata whispered. The baby began to move around. "Sakumo," Hinata said again and the baby moved. Hinata smiled and rubbed her stomach. "Mommy thinks she just found your name, Sakumo."

"Hey Yamato aren't you supposed to be working?" Ino asked with her hands on her hips.
Yamato smiled. "It's good to see you too Ino and I have the day off."
"Oh is that so?" She eyed him and noticed he look tired…? "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine I just had to take care of some things."
"Oh...ok." Ino latched on to his arms. "So what do you say we do something?"
Yamato smiled at her. "What did you have in mind?" he asked.
"How about you come back to my place? You seem a little tense, let me help you out," she whispered rubbing his chest.
Yamato held back a laugh, Ino was a real character. "How about we catch movie? I heard the theater is up and running," he said taking her hand in his.
"Ok a movie it is, and maybe later I can rub you down," Ino said giving him a slow soft kiss. "Well let's go." Yamato watch Ino walk ahead of him switching a little more than usual. He could only sigh and shake his head. "This girl is going to be the death of me," he mumbled walking behind her.

Hinata hummed as she walked through the village, greeting people ever so often. She wondered where Ino was hoping to tell her about the baby's name, and the only place she thought she would be is at the Hokage's tower.
"Hey, Hinata…"
Hinata turned and saw Shikamaru instead of Yamato sitting behind the small desk. "Hello Shikamaru, where is Yamato?"
"He got the day off, so I'm feeling in for him. Troublesome I know.."
Hinata smiled. "The Hokage's on the balcony if you want to speak with him. He has a little time before his next appointment."
Hinata smiled and nodded her head. Hinata saw Kakashi leaning over the railing looking over the village. He seemed to be in deep thought. Hinata wondered what was on his mind to have him so distracted he didn't notice her presence. Hinata hugged him from behind.
"Hey there kitten," he said turning around wrapping his arms around her.
"How did you know it was me?"
Kakashi almost laughed, was she serious. "I don't know many pregnant women wanting to hug me and plus I know your smell anywhere."
Hinata blushed. "I want to ask you something."
"Shoot," was his reply.
"What do you think about naming our son Sakumo?" Hinata closed her eyes not wanting to see his face. She slowly opened one of her eyes not sure of the expression on his face.
"What?..."
"We d-don't have t-to if you don't want to."
"No, no it's not that. I'm uh just surprised you pick that name."
"I like it," Hinata said taking his hand in hers.
Kakashi rubbed her cheek and smiled. "To be honest I was thinking about father before you came. I don't know why but for some reason I felt his presence you know? Like he was trying to tell me something."
Hinata hugged him again. "I understand completely. So we c-can use the name right?"
"Sure I don't see why not."
"Good, because I think little Sakumo would be honored to be name after his grandfather, the White Fang of Konoha." Kakashi laughed. Hinata had done a little investigating into his past.
"Of course who wouldn't be?"
Shikamaru peeked his head out the door to tell Kakashi that his appointment had arrived only to find him and Hinata making out. "Troublesome.." he mumbled before clearing his throat causing them to break apart. "Your, um….that dude is here." Shikamaru couldn't form a sentence seeing Hinata like that. Flushed face lips slightly swollen. He shook his head. "I need to get laid."

"That movie was awesome Yamato; we should really see another one soon."
"I agree we should," he said taking her hand in his. "Why don't we get some lunch and talk a bit?"
Ino smiled and nodded her head. "I know the perfect place. Hinata and I eat here when she's craving sweets."
"Hello I'll be your waitress, so what will it be?"
"Well for me I'll have the miso soup and an order of your sweetest dango," Ino said with a smile.
"Ok and for you handsome?" Ino shot the woman a glare. How dare she flirt with her Yamato like she's not even sitting there?
"Go on Yamato sweetie, tell her what you want." Now both Ino and the waitress were in a heated stare down. Yamato just sighed. "Give me the small order of mild curry and a half order of your fried eggplant. Jasmine tea sweeten with honey for the both of us."
"Sure thing handsome." The waitress winked at him and left the table.
"What a slut! How dare she?" Ino fumed.
"Why are you so worked up?" Yamato asked.
"What do you mean? That floosy was just flirting with you like I wasn't even here and you didn't say a word!"
"What was I supposed to say Ino?" Ino just frowned at him.
"Are we seriously having this discussion? You could have told her to back off!"
Yamato took Ino's hand. "If you noticed I never looked at her once. All my attention was on you the entire time. So what if she flirts with me? She won't be the last. I'm here with the person I'm interested in and no amount of flirting is going to take my attention away from you. So there is no need to be jealous."
Ino smiled. He was right; he never took his focus off her. Ino sighed. Her and her stupid jealousy almost ruined their date.
"I wanted to talk to you about something; to really get to know what it is you want. Tell me Ino what do you want?"
"You," was Ino's reply. She wanted him.
Yamato smiled. "What do you want from me?"
"I want you to love me, maybe one day get married and have a family."
"I am willing to give you all of me Ino. I want to become your best friend, someone you can tell any and everything to. But I want you to be sure of what you want. I don't want you to feel pressured in any way."
"I don't Yamato, I don't feel pressured. I just wanted you to want me the same way I want you."
"Who said I didn't?" Yamato said sitting back in his chair.
"Well you just seemed like you don't care about anything."
"I do care. I have never been a person of many words. I feel like my actions show how much I do care. After all I have to care to deal with you." Ino pouted and blushed, while he laughed.
"Yamato I'm going to tell you something and I don't want you to freak out or anything." Yamato nodded. "You don't have to say anything back, but I just want you to know that I, Iloveyou." Yamato raised his brow. "I love you Yamato!" Ino yelled causing others in the restaurant to stare.

"Hey Neji glad you could make!"
"I had nothing better to do.." Naruto frowned a little. Neji could be such a prude sometimes.
"So what exactly is this get together for anyway?" Neji asked.
"Oh well, you see that house down there?" Neji nodded. "That's the Hokage's mansion. Yamato finished it today so I'm inviting everyone to celebrate!"
"How thoughtful," was Neji reply as he walked to find a seat somewhere.
"Hey Kiba, Tenten! Where's Akamaru?"
"Oh, his bitch just had her pups, so he stayed behind," Kiba said.
"Kiba! She is not a bitch her name is Kia!" Tenten yelled slapping Kiba across the head.
"Well Tenten technically Kiba is ri—" Naruto stop before he was feeling the same pain Kiba was.
Everything was in full swing and Naruto was pretty proud of the job he did. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
"So how has everything been going Hinata, we hardly have the chance to hang out anymore," Kiba asked.
"Everything is great!" she said giving him a smile. "Kiba, do you know what this party is for?"
"Nah, I just showed up because the free food and booze was calling my name!"
Hinata and Tenten laughed. Kiba was such a free spirit, a lot like Naruto. Hinata felt someone wrap their arms around her shoulders. She noticed the green polish and knew it was Ino.
"Hey Hinata, I had the best date ever~" Ino sang.
"Yamato took you out?" Hinata asked.
"Yes! He's over there talking with his buddies now. It was prefect Hinata. He's perfect," Ino said looking over at Yamato.
"Hey everybody now that the lanterns have been lit, the music booming, and we got a little liquid courage; let's get this party started!" Naruto yelled.
It didn't take long before everyone was up dancing. Even Hinata shook her tail feather the best she could being pregnant and all. It was the most fun they all had in a long time. The engagement party was nice, but there is nothing like a party full of friends' wilding out.
Kakashi slowly approached and saw everyone dancing around. He was a little confused as to why everyone was on his property. He slowly made his way closer and noticed the house a little further back. Yamato was done. Kakashi scanned the crowed for Hinata and found her dancing with two of his friends not hers, but his.
Hinata was having such a good time. Genma and Aoba were such fun guys she saw why Kakashi hung out with them. Hinata was happily dancing with both guys. She heard someone clear their throat and turned to see Kakashi standing behind them.
"What's going on here?" Kakashi asked eyeing both males.
"Relax, Hokage, we just having a little fun. Isn't that right Hina-bear?" Hinata blushed and nodded.
"Yeah we were just keeping her company until you decided to show up," Aoba replied.
Hinata closed the distance between her and Kakashi wrapping her arms around him. "Well I can take over now."
Genma laughed. "I didn't know you were the jealous type Kakashi.." He and Aboa left leaving to find new dance partners.
"I'm s-sorry Kakashi I d-didn't know y-you would be upset."
"I'm not upset Hinata, I just know those guys."
"Good you finally made it. Naruto put this together for you guys to celebrate completion of your new home," Yamato said pointing to the house.
Hinata's eyes widen. That was their home? "Really?"
Yamato smiled and guided them towards the house. "This is the reason I took the day off so that I could finish up for you."
"It's amazing," Hinata said opening the door.
"I'm glad you like it."
"Oh listen up everyone, the man of the hour is here! So make your way to tour the house!" Naruto yelled pointing everyone in the right direction.
The house was more than she could have ever asked for. It was nice and spacious.
"How many rooms are there?" Kakashi asked Yamato.
"Seven including the master bed, there are six bathrooms, a living room, dining area, kitchen, a play room for the kid, family room, and a study for you to work in at home."
"Wow," was all Kakashi said as he watched his sweet fiancée walk in and out of every room.
