Chapter 10

The door to their room had closed quietly as Hinata had shut it behind her. Naruto went over to the bed, sitting down on the edge. He grabbed his hair out of frustration. Never had he seen Hinata mad before. More like he had never seen her mad at him. Never did he want to make her mad, and tonight he had hit a nerve in her.

He never meant to be mad at her. It wasn't her fault that all of this had happened. But the thought of her deciding to go alone with another man, had put them into the situation that they are in. She went with him to try and get this man to leave her alone but what she hadn't realized was that, Hinata…she was a beautiful women… and if someone could have the chance to be with her, they could take it at no matter the cost. Even if it meant against her will.

He didn't like how she was just blowing it off, but he understood what she was saying. It was already hard for her to tell him about her almost being…you know. Because it was something I'm sure she would never want to think about. But he was angry because she was right. He was supposed to protect her from something like this ever happening and he wasn't there. But she can't blame him. He was gone on a mission. She knew he would run to the end of the earth if it meant that he could protect her from everything.

Hearing her say such words in a cold tone had really hit him hard. He felt horrible and tonight had turned into a mess. They had solved through one issue, but had created another one right after that. He wanted to go apologized to her, to say he was sorry. But the look she had given him when she left, said to leave her be. So he would.

Naruto lend back onto the bed and groaned in frustration into his hands.

Hinata had went downstairs to sit on the couch once again. She ran her hands through her hair. They never fought before, but Hinata knew Naruto was a little upset with her. Even when he had tried to deny it, she knew him well enough to know he was. The look her gave her before turning away was proof enough. His frown looked furious. His eyes that were normally an ocean blue were dark and cold. She had never seen him look so mad at her.

Naruto…he had no right to be mad. She had tried to defend herself from that man, but he was mad because he thought she was blowing it off? Never in a million years, would something as upsetting as that could just be left alone without being handled first.

To Naruto, it may have looked like she was blowing it off, but honestly…he was right. She was scared to even think about. Every time she thought about Takashi, she could feel him running his fingers over her body over and over again. It would send shivers down her spine. She couldn't even tell him that he touched her in ways only he had. She was scared to let Naruto know. Why was it so hard to just tell him things?

Hinata took a piece of hair, playing with it through her fingers. Although she was bother with Naruto, she knew she shouldn't have said what she said. He couldn't do anything about that happening. He was gone on a mission, far away from the village. She was mad in the moment, and it just slipped out and she was sure his feeling were a little hurt. She sighed to herself. 'Why am I just making a mess out of everything?' Snuggling into her blanket, she closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep. That was all she could do for the day. She just wanted to sleep this mess away.

It had been a few hours until Naruto moved. He watched the door, waiting for Hinata to come in but she never did. After giving her time to cool off, he went downstairs and saw her sleeping on the couch once again. He quietly bent down to scoop her into his arms so that he could go place her in their bed.

Once he got upstairs, he laid his sleeping angel down slowly. He caressed her peaceful sleeping face. More than anything he was sorry for hurting her. She had already been through enough, and all she probably wanted was some peace. After making sure she was comfortable, he laid down next to her and drifted off to sleep.

After such a long night, who knew the next morning would come so quickly. Naruto was the first one to wake. He couldn't get much sleep last night when Hinata was still mad about everything that had happened. He came home yesterday hoping to make her feeling like everything was fine now and there was nothing to worry about.

But he had only seem to have made matters worse. Naruto sat up in the bed and rubbed his eyes out of frustration. He wanted to stay in bed until Hinata woke up, so that he could apologize. But he had to leave soon to report to Kakashi about his recent mission. But after, he would come back home so that he could talk to her.

Naruto moved himself off the bed slowly, as though not to disturb her. He walked over and changed into his mission gears. Once done he grab his scarf placing it around his neck. He looked over at Hinata and sighed to himself. He was still a little mad at her, but for now he had to let it go. He opened the door to their room and walked out. Running down the stairs, he opened the front door and left as his destination was towards the Hokage Mansion.

Hinata had heard a door open and close. She opened her eyes slowly to look around the room. Pushing herself up with her arms, she sat there in the bed. 'Why am I in here?' Running her hands through her bed head, she remember sitting on the couch. But when she woke up she was in bed. Then the events of last night had resurfaced in her mind. Naruto had come home, they talked, and even fought. She went and sat on the couch after that. 'He must have picked me up and carried me here.'

Moving the blanket off of herself, he moved from the bed and opened the door to their bedroom. She walked down the stairs and looked around the quiet house. It seemed Naruto wasn't around at the moment. Hinata sighed to herself. For now, she was glad he wasn't around because she didn't know how to face him after their little fight yesterday. She was still a little upset with him too. But sooner or later they were going to have to talk to each other. She wanted to apologize for saying such rash words to him and for blaming him for not being there.

Feeling like she couldn't stay in the house today. Hinata walked back up the stairs, she went to go freshen up and change so that she could go on a walk. 'Maybe it will help clear my mind.' When she was done, she grabbed her long purple jacket and her scarf before going back down the stairs. She slipped her sandals on before walking out of the door.

Closing it behind her, she set out on her walk throughout the snowy village. She was still thinking about last night. Naruto had made her feel way better about her longtime trouble. Although she was still bothered by her thoughts, he made her feel like sooner or later she wouldn't have to rely on them any longer. That soon she would be in control of her life…something she had always wanted and maybe even now she could be happy.

But she fought with Naruto. It was something so hoped would never happen. He has always treated her like she was his queen but last night she had lasted out at him. She had did it because he was right about everything he said when it came to Takashi. She wanted to forget forever and moved on from it. But Naruto, he wanted to close this issue so that it would never bother her again, and she got upset at him because of it. 'I hope he'll forgive me'

The wind had started to blow lightly, tussling Hinata's hair in front of her face. She took her hands and brushed a few pieces behind her ear. When she looked up she saw a man dressed in all black walking towards her direction. It was Sasuke.

Hinata had remember that he was the one who had found her that night she was attacked. She had never talked to him before. Even after she married Naruto, they still never said anything to each other. This would be a first, for she needed to thank him for saving her. When the man was close enough Hinata had bowed in front of him. She didn't know how to approach him, so this was all she could do.

Sasuke had stopped right in front of her. Hinata closed her eyes and said, "I just want to…thank you for saving me…the other day." She bent back up and looked at him. Sasuke had not moved nor had his expression change. 'He always was hard to read.' As Naruto would say, but somehow her husband could understand the silent man. Sasuke had nodded slightly before saying, "Don't let the dobe worry too much about you." Hinata smiled and nodded, "You're right, thank you again." With that he had walked off. Hinata smiled to herself. 'He didn't seem too bad.'

As she continued to walk, she stopped at the park. Normally it was filled of kids playing around in it, but as of right now because of the snowy weather it was empty. Hinata had walked over to sit on a bench. It was nice that no one was around. It gave her time to enjoy the silence and hopefully think of a way to talk to Naruto.

As she was sitting there, she suddenly remember back to when she was a little girl and she had meet Naruto for the first time. It was almost on a snowy day like this. She was being bullied by some of the other children in the village and he had come to her rescue. That was the moment, right then and there... she had fallen in love with him and nothing could changed that even till this day.

If she loved him, then she should be able to talk to him without over thinking it. Hinata just sighed to herself. Naruto had this ability to make her nervous whenever she would look into his eyes and maybe that's why she always had a hard time talking to him. Next time she saw him, she would try to tell him is wasn't his fault in anyway.

"Hinata." She was shaken from her thoughts as someone had called her name. Looking forward, she saw the one person she didn't want to ever see. It was him. It was Takashi. He was walking towards her. What was he doing here? He had already hurt her enough, what more could he possible want?

As he continued to walk towards her, she heard him say, "I see you're alright after our little event the other night." Hinata stood up and started walking away quickly. She couldn't handle any more of this. Takashi had moved fast, grabbing Hinata by her arm. "Where do you think you're going? We haven't finish what we were doing last time." Hinata eyes grew wide. 'Please no…not again.'

"It's not nice to deny a prince of what he wants, I'm sure you know that very well…Lady Hinata." Turning her head away from him, she tried to pull her hand away. Takashi grabbed her other hand and tighten his grip. "If you can't use your hands you're basically defenseless, my sweet." Hinata just stared into his eyes. "Please no more, just let me go." She whispered in terror. Takashi shook his head and laughed. "I can't wait to finish what we started." Hinata squeezed her eyes closed, she was scared. 'Naruto…please I'm sorry…help me.'

The team had meet at noon like Shikamaru had requested. Kakashi had asked for the details of the mission but there wasn't too much to say. Ino had relayed what she could and Shikamaru had told him more in detail of the conversation at the meeting. Naruto basically just stood there. He didn't have anything to say anyways unless Kakashi needed something from him. When they were done the team had been dismissed.

Naruto was walking out of the Hokage Mansion when Shikamaru had called out to him. "Let's talk." Naruto nodded, as Shikamaru had taken the lead. The two were walking down the street slowly, not saying anything. Naruto knew that once he returned home, he would have to apologize to Hinata. Nothing felt worst then knowing she was mad at him.

Shikamaru looked over at Naruto and could tell he seemed a little out of it. "Did you talk to Hinata?" Naruto sighed. "I did and you were right. We talk for a while about what was bothering her and it seems a though it made her feel better. Which was good. But then I asked her about her being in the hospital and why she was there. Well…I can say the conversation took a turn."

Shikamaru sighed at the man. "How troublesome…" Naruto chuckled at his spiky haired friends' signature remark. "I'll fix this, so everything will be fine." Shikamaru looked over at his friend. "I'm sure you will, Naruto. With that I will be taking my leave." Naruto nodded as his friend had started walking away.

Naruto was going straight home so that he could talk to Hinata. He had noticed that this was all about her, but he mixed his anger into. Making it about him unintentionally. He tried to hold it back when they were talking but nothing hurt him more than knowing his only family, his wife, had been hurt. He would give his life as long as he knew that she was happy.

Kissing her and telling her everything would be okay, is what he wanted to do right now. He wanted to hold her in his arms and honestly never let go.

As he was running towards their home he turned, cutting through the empty park. He slowed down, walking through the trees. Snowy days like this reminded him of the first time he meet his sweet angel. He was sitting on a swing alone when suddenly he heard a few boys bullying a girl. Being who he was, he went to go help her. Only to have the crap beaten out of him, but as along as Hinata was fine at the moment it didn't matter.

Walking past the trees into the open area of the park, Naruto had heard someone call out Hinata's name. He turned his head towards the direction of the voice and saw Hinata, sitting there. But he also saw someone else. A man he had never seen walking to her.

Naruto hide himself behind a nearby tree and watched the man approaching her. 'Is that him?' Was this the guy who had hurt her…caused her to be in so much pain? If he was, he would sorely regret it now that he was here.

Takashi used one hand to hold Hinata's wrist, while the other one was cupping her chin. "I thought making love to you at night would be easier, but now I no longer care. You're alone now…Hinata and I will take you as my women, who I may ravish to my heart's desire." Hinata just shook her head. She didn't want this man touching her. Yet here he was.

She tried to pull away from his grip again and again, but she couldn't get her hands free. She could feel how intense his charka was becoming and with her Byuakugan she could see the unsteady flow of it. This was not good. Hinata yanked her hands away from his grips and started to run away, but Takashi had grabbed her hair.

"Where do you think you're going!" he said in a furious tone as he yanking Hinata back over to him. She cried out from the pain of her hair being pulled. Takashi had a bundle of Hinata's hair in his hand, he turn her around so that she was facing him. He raised his free hand. "I'll show you to never run from me ever again!" Hinata closed her tear filled eyes as she was expecting the hit to come to her face.

It had been a few seconds, but Hinata hadn't felt anything. She opened her eyes slowly, only to see her husband standing in front of her. He had blocked Takashi's hand. "Naruto." She whispered his name. "I would let her go if I were you."
