Last Time:
Her tears grew more when she reached the front door of Naruto's house. 'Should I tell him? He'll ask anyway I should just tell him what happened. Will he hate me for what I've done?' She wondered.
She lifted her hand up and began to twist the doorknob. Her hand jerked back when she felt the knob twist from the other side. The door opened to reveal Naruto standing on the other side. Without warning Hinata fell into his arms crying. He pulled her inside the house out of the rain closing the door behind her.
He brought her the couch in the living room and still holding her he asked "Hina-chan what happened?"
She continued to cry into Naruto's shirt drenching it with her tears. She didn't want to tell him what had truly happened she wanted to forget what had happened she wanted to stay in Naruto's comforting arms forever and forget the world around her and all it's problems but she knew she couldn't no matter how much she wanted to. "I-I didn't mean to do it Naruto-kun… it just happened," she said between sobs.
"You didn't mean to do what?"
Her sobs became quieter when she pulled herself from him. Looking down with silent tears running down her swollen and bruised face she held her hands palm up showing Naruto the stained blood on them.
Naruto's eyes widened in shock when he saw her hands. 'D-Did she…' "Hinata did you kill Kiba?" he asked.
"I-I didn't mean to Naruto-kun I swear! Please you have to believe me!"
Guest RoomKiyoshi had his ear pressed against the door to his room. 'Finally she came back! Thank you Kami.' He pressed his ear closer to the door. 'Where was she?' he wondered 'What took her so long?'
Living Room"Naruto-kun… Please believe me I didn't mean to kill him!"
Guest RoomKiyoshi's eyes widened when he heard the words 'I', 'kill', and 'him' come from his mother's mouth. 'N-No… Mommy couldn't kill anyone,' He slowly backed away from the door and put his hand over his mouth in disbelief. Silent tears began to fall from his pale eyes 'She wouldn't kill anyone! She couldn't!' He backed into his bed and fell on it still silently crying 'No! I won't believe it! Mommy is too nice and kind to do something like that. She wouldn't even do that to daddy. She wouldn't do that to anyone!' The tears in his eyes grew more and more.
He wanted to believe that it was impossible for his mother to do something like that to anyone in the world no matter how much she hated them… but as Kiyoshi knew from experience noting is ever impossible. And even though he didn't want to admit it he knew that there was a small and soft-spoken voice in his head wondering 'Whom did she kill?'
Living Room"Hina-chan… how did you kill him?"
"It was an accident… please believe me!" she pleaded as she once again cried into his chest.
"Calm down, Hinata. Of course I believe you." he said in a comforting voice as he wrapped his arms around her beaten body.
"Gomen nasai… I… I didn't mean to kill him."
He looked down at her a pulled her from him. He tilted her chin revealing the damage Kiba had done to her. "Hina-chan you shouldn't be sorry for killing him," His eyes wandered around her face seeing one black eye, cuts randomly covering her face, and black and blue bruises swelling her checks. His eyes traveled farther down to her neck, which looked much worse than her face. Her skin was no longer the color it had been when she had left earlier that day it was a mixture of black, blue, red, purple and about every color in between. 'How could I let this happen to her? I've failed again.' "Hina-chan if there's someone who should be sorry it's me."
"Why? Why should you be sorry for something I did?"
"Remember when you first came here," he said, "I promised you I wouldn't let Kiba or anyone else hurt you."
"B-But Naruto-kun you shouldn't-"
"I made a promise to you and I failed to keep it. I'm the one who should be sorry."
"Please don't say things like that!"
"But it's true and you know it, Hinata."
"I… B-But… I mean…"
An uncomfortable long silence filled the room after that.
"I don't know what I'm going to tell Kiyoshi." said Hinata
"Try not to think about that."
"How can I not?"
Just as Naruto was about to open his mouth to speak Hinata felt a queasy feeling in her stomach again and ran to the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Naruto followed her and stood outside the door. He could hear the sounds of her throwing up again. 'This has been going on ever since she got here… is there something wrong?' "Hinata," he asked through the door "Are you okay?"
He waited but there was no reply. "Hina-"
"I-I'm fine" she said unsteadily
"Are you sure?" he asked
"Y-Yeah… I think I'll t-take a shower." she said
"Okay." he said 'I hope she'll be all right,'
Bathroom
Hinata very carefully stripped herself of her clothes as to not feel any more pain than she was already feeling. She adjusted the knobs on the shower so the water would be the temperature she wanted. With water falling from the showerhead she stepped in and let the water cover her body. She winced at the pain of water contacting with her skin but allowed the pain to take over her for she had more problems in her life than pain. 'How could I have allowed myself to kill Kiba? Why have I been constantly vomiting for almost the last month? Could I be? No! Please not!'
She continued to stand in the shower wondering 'What if I am? What will I do? Would Naruto allow me to stay with him? What if he doesn't? Where would I go? I love him I don't want to leave him. Surely he would allow me to stay even though… Kuso! Why couldn't I have been married to Naruto instead of Kiba? I should've believed him eight years ago when he said he would never hurt me again. Why didn't I listen? I'm such a dobe!'
She turned the water off and stepped out of the shower to dry herself off. She wrapped herself in a towel and opened the door to exit the bathroom. When she opened the door she jumped a little when she saw Naruto standing in front of the door. "Hina-chan what's wrong? And don't say nothing, because I can tell that something is troubling you." he said.
Her gaze shifted to the side of him trying to avoid looking into his eyes. 'I can't tell him.'
"Hina-chan," he began "Please tell me. It hurts me to see you in this much pain."
'Will he hate me if I tell him?' she wondered
"Hina-chan…"
"I… I think…" she gulped before starting again "I think I'm… pregnant."
Naruto's eyes widened in both disbelief and shock but then they narrowed in anger. "That bastard! How could he do this to you Hinata?"
"N-Naruto-kun… please be more quite Kiyoshi is still here."
"Gomen. I just can't believe that this would happen."
"But there's still a chance that I'm not… and the sickness is just my nerves getting to me."
"But what if you are pregnant?"
"Do what you told me 'try not to think about it'."
"How can I not?" he asked
"I thought you were going to tell me the answer to that question before."
"You're trying to use my own words against me aren't you?" he asked playfully
"Maybe." she said with a giggle
Changing the subject he said, "We should get to bed. You coming?"
"I'll be there in a minute, just let me check on Kiyoshi and change into some clothes."
"All right." he said before he headed to the room they shared
Hinata went into the room Kiyoshi was sleeping in and quietly opened the door. She peered in and saw him sleeping on top of the covers. She stepped in the room and walked beside the bed. She stared at his sleeping figure. She didn't realize she was crying until she tasted salty water on her lips 'He looks so much like Kiba. How will I tell him? Or will I not tell him at all? No! I have to tell him. He deserves to know. But when and how will I tell him? Just do what Naruto-kun said 'try to not think about it'.' She picked up her sleeping son gently as to not wake him. She pulled the covers down and placed him on the bed before pulling the covers over him.
She walked back to the door to leave the room she smiled a soft smile before leaving the room and closing the door behind her.
