Six years had passed since Hinata had a visit to the spirit world with Kiba… (Now her official Ex-Boyfriend) and had learned that spirits had been real the whole time. Though, she knew that she couldn't tell anyone what had happened. How she and Kiba her gone missing for as long as they did. She had just told them that… she had gone to another place that she couldn't describe. Which was true, the spirit world was a place filled with its own beauty, something that shouldn't be tarnished with the modern world.

Though, after her visit back to her parents' home, they had been… thankful that Hinata had finally left Kiba. That they didn't want to see her in such pain anymore, least after she had told them that he was the reason for her pain… Taking a deep breath, Hinata had decided to build a new shrine to Naruto… it was the least that she could do for him.

His old shrine had been destroyed yes, but… she had to make it up to him. The only difference was that the statue had a face that could be seen by everyone. Giving a soft and gentle smile at the shrine, Hinata couldn't help but wonder what Naruto was doing now… it made her wonder so many things… just like what he had meant about his gift to her.

At first, she had thought that it was the gift of freedom…

But she had been wrong on so many levels.

For a month after her return to the spirit world, she had gone to the hospital due to sickness. And had been shocked when she had found out that she was one month pregnant, it had been so shocking that she almost couldn't believe it. Until Naruto's words had echoed through her mind at the time. But, when she had told her parents, they had demanded to know who the father was. But, she couldn't tell them the whole truth… only that he had gone missing…

And they believed her.

Now, six years later, Hinata was a single mother… She was twenty-six years old and had a beautiful son that looked just like his father… just… with her eyes and smile. The little boy had spiky blonde hair like his father, the same whisker marks on his cheeks and at times, would have a goofy smile just like Naruto.

She had named him Kenji…

The little boy had run into the living room, giggling as he said "mommy I just beat my game!"

Hinata just giggled and picked up her son and placed him on her lap. Ever since she had given him a Wii for his sixth birthday, he had been on that none stop almost… if it hadn't been for the fact that she would make him shut it down every now and then. Much to the small boy's disappointment, which only made Hinata laugh when he would pout at her… she knew that if Naruto had been here, that he would have been proud of his son… so very much.

"Is that so sweetie? I bet that was hard to do."

"It was mommy!"

Giving a soft and gentle smile to the small boy, Hinata set him down when she had heard someone knocking on the door. Frowning, she didn't know who would be coming at this time but got up from her seat to answer it. Though, once she had opened the door Hinata gasped when a hand had shot out and wrapped itself around her neck. It was Kiba… and he was drunk as all hell.

"Found… found you Hinata… Hic…" He blinked a few times and pushed Hinata inside and threw her into the wall.

Hissing in pain, Hinata stared at Kiba in shock, he hadn't come near her in six years so… why now? Was it because he was drunk and thought that she was his still? That could be a reason for it but she wouldn't allow him to be here, not where Kenji would be a target also. "Why are you here Kiba?" Asked Hinata with demand in her voice, not wanting him to notice her son at all…

"I've come to see my woman… is it that hard to notice this you bitch… this is my house…"

"It isn't Kiba. I kicked you out, the house is in my name and you have a restraining order and are not to come near me."

"Bull shit. You wouldn't do that to me and I know it… Hic…"

Hinata wished that she could beat him, but no… she didn't want to set a bad example for him… When Kiba was walking toward her once more, Hinata's eyes widened in fear, not sure what she could do, she could kick him yes, but that wouldn't be enough to get him out of here…

"Leave my mommy alone!" Shouted the blonde boy as he ran and bit Kiba's ankle, which had caused the wild eyed man to howl in pain trying to get Kenji off of him. Hinata shouted for him to run and hide, though Kiba just picked up the boy by his throat and narrowed his eyes.

"I see you cheated on me Hinata…"

"Leave my baby alone!" She shouted with fear and panic.

Kiba just narrowed his eyes and tightened his hold on the small boy's throat. Hinata got up and tried to run to Kiba, but he only kicked the woman in the stomach and caused her to hit the wall once again. "Kenji!" she shouted, her fear was so easily heard in her voice.

But then, the lights dimmed for a moment… the windows swung open as a gust of wind rushed in the house. Hinata gasped in shock, what was happening? Though at the window was a figure of a tall muscular man with spiky hair. As soon as the lights came back on, Hinata stared at a blonde man with blue ocean eyes… whisker marks on his cheeks… though instead of the clothes that used to see while in the spirit world, he was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans…

"Get your dirty hands off my son." He growled out, Hinata now could make out his nine tails swishing angrily out behind him. And the movement had made him look more menacing, something that Hinata didn't see very often, not in the spirit world at least… Kiba just growled and dropped the boy and got ready to fight the man at the window…

Kiba just stared at confusion, wondering how a man could have gotten up here since they were pretty high up off of the ground. Hinata though, she knew how Naruto could have gotten up here. She had done some research on Naruto no Kyuubi, and had learned that he could control wind so long as he was using it only to protect. But, she hadn't expected that he would use the wind to try to frighten Kiba… unless it had been another form of protection.

"Who are you?" Growled out Kiba, his eyes narrowed into slits as he dropped the child, though he let out a hiccup. Hinata knew that Naruto would have caught whiff of the booze on Kiba's breath. It was enough to make even her sick and that was saying something… The brown haired man took hold of a beer bottle and broke the end off in order to make a weapon. Hinata just rolled her eyes, knowing very well that that weapon wouldn't hurt Naruto.

It was like hitting steel with a butter knife. It wouldn't cause any harm to the one being hit, but the one that was doing the hitting.

"I'm your worst nightmare." Growled out Naruto before leaping off of the window sill and charging at Kiba, Hinata had grabbed her son when Kenji ran to her for protection. He let out soft whimpers, something she knew was the fox in him… animals… whether they be adult or even a cub tend to be frightened easily if they're in danger.

Naruto grabbed Kiba by his throat, slamming him into the wall then throwing him to the floor. Kiba tightly held the bottle in his hand and slashed at Naruto, hoping to draw at least a little bit of blood. But the bottle broke as soon as it hit his chest. The only thing that tore was the material of his white shirt. Kiba just stared in shock, not sure what was going on. It just wasn't possible for someone to not bleed from an attack like that…

Though, while he had been thinking that Naruto swung his fist hit him square in the face. Kiba howled in pain as he flew into the wall once more. He had his hand over his face, and Hinata knew right away from the blood that Kiba's nose was broken. This was not something that she had thought would happen… it just didn't seem like Naruto to do that, but well… he really was pissed off at Kiba for all the years of being abused and bruises… it was… it was as if Naruto was going to make Kiba pay with each and every bruise that he gave her…

"I'm going to make you pay you son of a bitch." Naruto growled deadly, his eyes flashing crimson trying to fight back the desire to kill… Sniffling, Hinata wanted to run to Naruto to get him to stop this… but Kenji… he was so frightened that she didn't know if she could let go of him. Knowing that Kenji would cry, distracting Naruto and allowing Kiba to hit him…

"Get up." Naruto commanded coldly, the desire to protect his mate and offspring was clearly heard in his voice, something that Hinata didn't hear very often… though, and it made her shudder a bit.

"Why protect… a whore…" Kiba groaned his eyes already black and blue… his nose swollen and red a few drops of blood had gotten on his shirt. Though, Hinata knew that was when Naruto had hit his crossing point, for Naruto picked up Kiba by his shirt and narrowed his eyes once more.

"Don't you ever… call Hinata that ever again…" He growled before throwing him out the window. Naruto's body glowed with a red light; he walked to the window getting ready to jump out into the night to beat Kiba to a pulp. But… a voice had stopped him.

"Don't go Naruto! Please, don't do this anymore."

"He hurt you Hinata! He tried to kill…" The fox spirit didn't dare finish that sentence. Afraid of what could have happened if he had been just too late to save Hinata… too late to save their son…

"But you came Naruto… that's what matters… I'll call the cops… you can easily just say that you were protecting us…"

Naruto took a few deep breaths hoping to calm down his nerves. Though, knew that Hinata was right… that he had come just in time to save them… and that was what mattered the most… Turning back to Hinata, he stared at the small blonde boy that was in Hinata's arms. Tilting his head to the side, Naruto slowly walked toward the two of them. Though, he had a strange mixture of curiosity and fear. She knew that this was the first time that Naruto would have met Kenji in person… for last time; he had seen Kenji in spirit…

And the fear was because he feared that Kenji would be afraid of Naruto cause of what had transpired in the building between himself, and Kiba. "Wh-whats his name…" asked Naruto with fear in his voice, thinking that if he spoke louder, that Kenji would scream and run away from him.

"Kenji…"

"I… I like the name…" He whispered softly, trying to think on what he could do… Hinata knew that he was trying with all his power to be calm though he was still nervous and scared. It was the first time that she had seen him look scared… instead of just hearing it.

Looking down at the small boy in her arms, Hinata smiled softly saying "Kenji sweetie… do you wanna meet your daddy?" The small boy looked up from his hiding place in Hinata's chest and blinked innocently but nodded slowly. His lavender eyes shined brightly with unshed tears, as if thinking that if he cried that it would have made his mother cry. He was trying to be a brave little boy… Smiling more gently, she said "see that blonde man over there. He's your daddy…"

Kenji tilted his head when he turned to stare at Naruto, his eyes wide as if trying to see if he could trust the blonde haired man that stood a few inches away from himself and his mother. Though, Kenji shyly said "you my daddy?"

"Y-yeah…" Said Naruto with a small smile, to Hinata she had never seen a cuter sight than this.

Kenji smiled brightly and jumped out of Hinata's arms and ran right to Naruto, the blonde man knelt and held his arms open for when Kenji jumped at the fox spirit and sniffled. Both boys trying so hard not to cry, Hinata couldn't help but wipe a few stray tears that had started to roll down her cheeks at the scene before her. Father and son that had only just met for the first time in person, and now it had seemed like they had always known each other.

Hinata didn't know if this could get any better…

But it did…

Many weeks after Naruto had returned to the human world, she had introduced him to her parents, telling them that Naruto was Kenji's father… they were thrilled to see someone that was responsible to take care of a child after 'leaving' for a long time. Naruto had blushed in a nervous way and told them that he had some 'important matters' to attend to before returning, and that he hadn't planned on it taking so long.

Though, during diner, Naruto had proposed to Hinata… a big diamond ring in a beautiful black velvet box. The bang was gold, though the designs on the band had caught her attention. It was a fox, tails swirling around the band in a strange wave-like design. The ring was a white diamond, simple yes, but it was just so beautiful that the blue haired woman didn't care.

The wedding was just simple, though to other people it may have seemed weird for some of her friends to dress… differently. Naruto had gone back to the spirit world to get Sasuke and Sakura who were now at long last a couple. Sasuke had listened to Hinata's advice and tried asking Sakura out… and she of course said yes.

And, as of two years ago Sasuke had asked the pink haired spirit to marry him. She said yes to that as well and had given Sasuke the biggest kiss he's ever gotten from her. The raven haired spirit almost fell over from the force of the kiss… (Least from what Naruto had told her.)

Also, after the attack Kiba did on Hinata she had called the cops and told them everything that he had done to her. Including about the scars on her body and him trying to kill her years ago and almost killing her and Kenji that night when Naruto had arrived. He was sentenced ten to life in prison for attempt of murder. Hinata was happy… she had a wonderful son… a great husband who she had loved in both her lives… (Naruto had told her everything…)

And it had explained why she loved him at first sight, because no matter what life she had with him… they were soul mates… And, the best part about being married to a spirit, she now shares Naruto's life… she will never age… never wither away leaving Kenji and Naruto alone… She would be with Naruto… forever...

This… was the happy ending that she had dreamed of having… and now… she had just that. Her happy ending…

The End
