Quick AN-No, Yoru is not out of he picture just yet. He's just waiting for the perfect moment o jump back in and screw with everyone's lives. (Oh my…BAD Yoru!!)
Chapter 10
The days following that night were like hell for both of them. Sasuke was constantly phasing out while working, or in important meetings, and Hinata was constantly using a pregnancy test, every time she could. Though still no positive reading, she had to be absolutely sure. If her father found out that she was with a child, and wasn't married to the father…All hell would break out in the Hyuga clan.
The two had agreed that they shouldn't meet with each other for a while, to attempt to keep concentration on their own lives, but that didn't seem to be working very well.
Sasuke visited Naruto daily, to check on him, as well as give him updates of the building and restoration of Konoha.
Hinata, on the other hand, had taken off from her duties as a Jonin to help with the rebuilding of the Hyuga manor, which had been a main target during the raid. She helped the maids, occasionally, with the cooking, and household chores, and tended to the gardens, hoping to bring a little cheer back into the manor.
As usual, her father barely spoke to her, but now, when he did, she felt herself able to stand up for herself, easier than before. Once, during a sparring session, when he had told her that she needed to train even more, that she was still weak, she saw a smirk pass his lips when she retorted, 'I am not weak, father, I am still strengthening myself, as I haven't reached my height. I will take over the clan, one day.'
She had nearly burst with pride of her words. Finally, she could stand up top her father, and even her little sister, Hanabe.
The time with Yoru and Sasuke, she had indeed broken, but she had stood herself up again, this time with strength to knock away the insults that anyone could throw at her. Even Neji's rude mumblings. Even after Naruto had fought him, and won, he still had little respect for her.
He would eventually though.

Hinata couldn't take it anymore. She had to see Sasuke.
Which was why she found herself, once again, at the door to the Hokage's office. She didn't bother to know. She walked in, to find Sasuke talking to Shizune about some of the recent requests for missions they had been getting. As soon as he realized that Hinata had come, he cut off the conversation.
'Can we please finish this later, Shizune?' He asked.
Shizune smiled deviously. 'Of course, Sasuke-sama. Just call me in when your done.' With that, she stepped out of the room.
'Hinata, what are you doing here? I thought that we had decided to forget about 'us'?'
'I couldn't stand it, Sasuke…I have to ask…' She hesitated.
'Ask what?'
'Could you…do you love me?' She blurted, still unsure of the decision to come in the first place.
'Hinata…You've always been so shy…not at all like those other girls, who're constantly trying to rape me…' He couldn't help but add that in. He walked up to her and took her hand in his own.
'I'll get straight to the point…I've been thinking about it…really hard these past few days…and…' He paused, searching for the words.
'Yes, Hinata. I hadn't realized it until you were with me in that cell…I was really worried about you, when all you could worry about was me. You were in more danger that you thought, with that guy.'
'…What do you mean?'
'I overheard an advisor, from the looks of him, filling in an officer. Yoru intended to use you. He only wanted your eyes to find the five ancient scrolls, one of each is hidden in each of the 5 Shinobi Villages.'
'I'm not surprised…but…Sasuke…He said that he'd be back. He won't stop until he gets what he wants then.'
'We'll be ready. I'll keep you away from him, don't worry.'
'Actually…Sasuke…I think you should…This morning…I'm…pregnant…so…'
Sasuke gaped at her.
'Oh my god…I'm…You're…'He made his way back to the chair and dropped heavily onto it.
'Pregnant…with my child…'
'Uhh…yeah…Do you want to see the test…?' She offered, as proof, shrugging.
'No…no…Wait…'
'Hmm?'
'With my Sharingan, and your Byakugan…What do think the kid will have?'
'…That's an extremely good question.'

They left the office quickly, to get away from anyone who would come in on accident, and overhear their conversation, and went back to the restaurant that had spawned the entire mess.
This time, they both got tea, as to avoid the same incident happening twice, though the damage was already done.
It was quiet until Sasuke finally spoke.
'I need to run out real quick…ok?'
'Alright.'
He dashed out, before she could ask where he was going, leaving her alone in the red haze.
He was gone for a half hour, and she began to wonder what was taking him so long, once she reached her 4th glass of tea.
Slowly, she got up to go into the bathroom, and when she got back, Sasuke was sitting at the table.
'Well, you gave me a scare, I thought you'd ditched me.' He smirked.
'It's called personal needs.'
Sasuke laughed and got up, to walk around to her side.
'Now where are you going?' She asked.
'Hinata…' He pulled something out of his pant pocket. (You know what's coming…)
He dropped down onto one knee on the floor beside the table. 'I know its really soon, but...
'Will you marry me?'
Hinata gasped, then flung her arms around her as he stood up.
'Yes…Yes I will…' She said, her words almost muffled, due to her face being buried into his shoulder.
She pulled away, and allowed his to slip the engagement ring onto her finger. The band was silver, with a large sapphire set in the middle, surrounded by two perfectly cut diamonds on each side of the band.
Hinata looked into Sasuke's onyx eyes, then reached up slowly, drawing him into a kiss, long and lustful.
As the broke apart, Sasuke realized something.
'Don't we have to tell your dad?'
AN- Ok…I'm tuning it down for a little while…Time for fluff!!
And next chapter? It's meet the parents. And hope that they approve. Especially since Sasuke's already gotten their daughter pregnant. --' Good luck Sasuke…
I'm sorry its going so fast, but each of these chapters, except for the first few, have all been done in one sitting. It's rather stressful, yet relaxing at the same time to type these up. Hey, as long as there's a viable storyline, then hell, it's a story. Right? Yesh, I know I'm being a bit lazy on the storyline, but I'm tying it together as I type each chapter, but sadly, it changes every time I add something not originally planned, so I have absolutely no idea how this story is going to turn out or end…
Anyhow…
Till next update,
