Chapter 10
Hinata hummed lightly as she made breakfast. She made three places at the table prior because she knew how hungry her boys were whenever they woke up.
"Mmmm, something smell good~," a 3 year old small voice sang out. Hinata turned and saw a small head of silver hair climbing into a chair.
"Good morning Hiroki, how did you sleep last night?"
"Ok, I guess. Hey!" Hinata turned around to see identical eyes staring into hers. Hiroki had a serious face as he scratched the side of his face. "Did you um know that uh Sakumo snores?"
"Haha, very funny Hiroki. I do not snore! Tell'em Ma!" Sakumo took his seat nest to Hiroki who just stuck his tongue out. He pushed his sliver bangs of his face and glared his dark eyes toward Hiroki.
"Alright boys eat up," Hinata said placing plate in front of them alone with a small cup of milk.
"Hey Ma, where's Dad?" Sakumo asked pouring syrup over his pancakes.
Hinata gave him a small smile. "He's already gone sweetie."
"He's never, um here no more," Hiroki sad picking at his plate.
Hinata could only offer a small sad smile. They were right Kakashi was hardly there anymore and the only reason she could give the boys was 'he's working' but that didn't help much. He was gone before they woke and here when they were a sleep.
"You know what? How about we go swimming today? We could invite Aoki and Aunt Kurenai; maybe Anutie Ino. How does that sound?" Hinata asked hoping to take their mind of things.
"That sounds like some fun mama," Hiroki smiled.
Hinata looked at Sakumo who nodded and smiled.

"Kakashi, have you made a decision yet?" Yamato asked standing in front of his desk.
Kakashi put down the scroll he was reading to look at Yamato. "I know what I want to do, but it may not be what needs to be done."
"What about Gaara, what did he say about it?"
"He would support whatever I decided, but my main concern is the neighboring villages." Yamato nodded. Kakashi had been working on this proposal for two years now and things were starting to get complicated. He and Kakashi often traveled for meetings that no one outside of his office except two council members knew about.
"You'll figure it out, and I support your decision. Whatever it may be," Yamato offered a small smile and walked to his desk.
"I know, that's why I trust you with this."
KH
Ino was glad Hinata invited her to go swimming. It was nice and warm out and the lake was absolutely perfect this time of day.
"How are things with Kakashi Hinata?" Ino asked. She then notices Hinata looked a little down. She knew Kakashi had been pretty busy lately because whatever he did Yamato was a part of it.
"I don't know any more Ino. He's never here anymore and the boys are old enough now to notice his absence." Ino nodded because she was sure it was becoming hard to explain why their dad was always working and never spending time with them. "He comes home at all hours of the night, and leaves early. When he doesn't leave early he just locks himself in his office."
"Well, have you tired talking to him and letting him know you feel?" Kurenai asked.
"I tried, but he always say we'll talk later; we never do," Hinata said looking down.
"He'll come around. Hokage is a tough job and it can be time consuming, so just give him a chance to get everything together. I've known Kakashi a long time and he would never just cut you off without good reasons."
"Yeah, Kurenai's right, Kakashi loves you guys too much just to shut you out for no reason," Ino said smiling. Hinata just smiled and hoped they were right.
"So how are things with you and Yamato? I know he's been working a lot like Kakashi," Hinata asked.
"I'm still waiting in him to propose. I mean how long do you have to wait to get a ring from a guy now a day? I ready for us to move in together, but noooooo he said it's not the right time! When is the right time damn it!" Ino yelled breathing a little hard.
"Um, Ino, I didn't mean to strike a nerve," Hinata said rubbing her back trying to calm her down. Kurenai just laughed.
"Maybe he's not ready to get married yet Ino. Have you expressed how important it is for you to have that kind of commitment?" Kurenai asked.
"Well yeah I have, I mean we've been together over 4 years. How much time does he need?"
"Hey, Sakumo um let's play a um game!" Hiroki suggested.
"That's sound like a good idea to me and I have the perfect idea," Aoki added shaking the water out of his dark locks and rubbing his brown eyes.
"Ok, what?" Sakumo asked.
"Water ninja! One of us can be the bad guy and the other two can be the water ninjas!"
"Ok, so um who is the good guys?" Hiroki asked.
"How about me and you be the good guys Hiro and Sakumo be the bad guy; you know since you're like the toughest of the three of us," Aoki said.
"Fine by me, but don't think I'm going easy on you guys," Sakumo smirked.
"Hey ladies, I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
"Hey Genma, what are you doing here?" Ino asked.
"I was in the neighborhood and decided to pay the boys and Hinata a visit."
Ino looked between Hinata and Genma and thought maybe something was going on. The way he looked at her wasn't the way you look at a friend. She would know because she caches herself staring at Naruto sometimes. She would have to ask her little shy friend about it later.
"Sakumo and Hiroki are swimming right now with Aoki," Hinata said with a small blush.
"Ok I'll just leave these snacks with you then," he said handing her s mall bag. "Do you mind if I join them?"
"Um sure."
The three women watched him walked towards the lake removing his clothing as he did.
"That Genma has always been a sexy one," Kurenai purred.
"I heard that," Ino agreed.
"Hey Gem-Gem, do um you want to play!" Hiroki asked wrapping his arms around Gemna's leg.
"What are we playing?"
"Water ninja, and since you're here you can be the bad guy and the three of us will be the water ninjas!" Aoki yelled. Genma smiled 'that kid sure dose look like Ausma' he thought.
"So you in Gen?" Sakumo asked.
Genma just grabbed all three boys and jumped in the water.
"He's really good with the boys," Kurenai said smiling.
"Why don't you guys hook up Kurenai? You're single, he's single…" Ino asked.
Ino watched Hinata's reactions to try and confirm her suspicion about Hinata. Hinata only looked away and she could tell Hinata was maybe a little bothered.
"I'm seeing someone else. We just started dating a few weeks ago."
"Really, that's good news Kurenai. Who is the lucky guy?" Ino asked.
"Iruka. It's nothing too serious yet just a few dates. Aoki loves him so I didn't see why I shouldn't give him a chance."
"Iruka is a good choice," Hinata said and smiled.
"Speaking of which, Aoki and I are meeting him for lunch today during his break. I hate to run ladies but we have to go home and get ready."
"It's cool Kurenai, and tell Iruka we said heeeey~" Ino said causing them to laugh.
"AOKI! Come on baby we're leaving."
"Hehe, see you later baby," Sakumo snickered.
"Hey, I'm not a baby Sakumo!"
"Relax guys, mothers do embarrassing things like that all the time," Genma said.
"See ya Aoki!" Hiroki said waving as his friend ran towards his mother.
"Hey Gen, have you seen our dad today?" Sakumo asked once Aoki was gone.
"Nah, not today, you guys didn't see him before he left?"
"No, he um is always gone fore we get up," Hiroki added.
Genma could tell they wanted some attention from Kakashi, but what could he do about? That was one of the reasons he started coming around so Hinata could have a break to do some things she wanted to. To be honest he didn't think spending time with them would last as long as it has. For over a year he's grown close with them and Kakashi has yet to notice. Genma doesn't even hide the fact he spends times with them and Kakashi still doesn't seem to care.
"Well guys your dad is very busy being Hokage and all. It's a really hard job. He has to protect and make sure everyone in the village is safe."
"I never want to be Hokage," Sakumo said.
"Me either," Hiroki added.
"Hey you guys up for some sushi?"
"Yes, I love sushi," Hiroki said with a big smile. Sakumo just smiled and nodded.
KH
"Hello sir, how many?"
"Oh is Kei here?" Genma asked.
"Yes sir, I'll get him for you."
A few minutes later a big man with spiky red hair approached. "Genma."
"What's up Kei, I brought the gang," Genma said pointing behind him at Hinata and the boys.
"Usual spot then?" Kei asked.
"Yes please Mr. Kei," Hiroki said.
"Alrighty, this way."
Genma and Hinata sat together on one side of the bench and the boys on the other. They had come to Kei's Sushi Shack many times for lunch or dinner whenever Genma was not on a mission. He brought them there so Hinata wouldn't have to cook and give the boys a chance eat out and visit a few shops.
"Hey guys I'm your waitress, do you know what you're having?"
"Yeah give us the large mixed sushi family platter."
"Yeah and a piece of um strawberry cake!" Hiroki said.
"Bring that for his dessert and sweet tea for all of us," Genma said handing her the menu.
"Hiroki sweetie, try not to eat so much," Hinata said.
"It's ok Hina-bear, I'm paying so let the kid pig out," Genma said while Hiroki laughed nodding in agreement. Hinata just smiled and shook her head. Genma spoiled her boys.
"Hey Gen, after this could we stop by that weapons shop? I want to see what they have in there," Sakumo asked.
"If it's ok with your mother."
"We can look Sakumo, but you're not getting a weapon." She saw him pout and she smiled. He looked so much like his father. "Once you start the academy we'll go and you can pick out any weapon you like." Sakumo smiled "deal."
The waitress can back a short while later with their food. Hinata just smiled as her boys ate happily and talked with Genma. Hinata was grateful for Genma; he was a lot of help. She had grown use to Genma's company every since he offered to help her one day she was out shopping. The attention Genma has been giving her and the boys was the same way Kakashi use to.
Genma saw that Hinata wasn't eating her food. She looked like she was in deep thought. Genma wrapped his hands around hers under the table. Hinata gave him a small smile and continued to eat her food. Genma made he feel wanted in a way, and that made her happy.
KH
Hinata walked hand-in-hand with Sakumo and Hiroki until they reached the Hyuga compound where they were met by her father.
"Grandpa!" Hiroki yelled running towards him jumping in his arms.
"My, you're heavy now, what is your mother feeding you?" Hiashi asked tickling Hiroki.
"Hey Grandpa," Sakumo said hugging Hiashi from the side.
"I'll pick them tomorrow night father." Hinata said kissing her boys' good bye.
"Enjoy your day off," Hiashi said walking in the house carrying Hiroki and holding Sakumo's hand.
Hinata walked back to the road and saw Genma waiting for her leaning against a tree. "Ready?" He asked. She smiled and touched his arm. Genma made a few hand signs and they reappeared at Hinata's house.
"When are you expecting Kakashi back?"
"Who knows?"
Hinata was leaning against the wall looking at Genma. He looked at her again and smiled. Genma walked towards her and put hands on the wall behind her head. Hinata blushed and how close he was to her face. She could feel his breath on her lips. Hinata leaned in slowly at closed the distance between them connecting their lips.
