"That is why I believe Hinata should be removed from being the legitimate heir to the Hyuuga clan. So again, I humbly request Hinata be branded with the cursed seal and removed from being the heir." The head of the Hyuuga clan bowed low as he waited for the counsel's response to his request.

"We deny your request Hirashi. Hinata has done nothing to deserve this. Now leave before you can waste anymore of our precious time with your self centered ambitions."

"As you wish my lords." With another bow the head left the room; his face contorted into a inhumanly furious expression. "You will regret this you old fools." He breathed as he stalked off.

"I'm afraid that Hyuuga Hirashi has finally become too dangerous to keep around any longer." A council member, weathered and worn with age, stated calmly.

"I agreed." Confirmed another member.

"We should eliminate him." The only woman on the council declared.

"Let it be done." The head of the council commanded. Just as he finished a young Hyuuga branch member went off to deliver the news of the ruling to the Hokage. Even as his death was being plotted the head of the Hyuuga clan was far too stuck up in his personal agenda to even realize what was happening.


The forest seemed so still, so quiet. It was unnatural. Even so, the ever so slight disturbance of leaves and rustling of branches was never heard. The blur that moved so swiftly through the trees was never seen. The gust of wind that it created was never felt as it leaped over the guards of the Hyuuga complex. It landed soundlessly and it's identity was revealed; Uzumaki Naruto.

He was there to kill. To kill one person; Hyuuga Hirashi. He didn't tell Hinata what his orders were. He knew she would have objected. Then he wouldn't have been able to do it. He couldn't afford to not be able to do it. He had to do it. Orders were orders and they could not be dismissed.

That's why he crept into the Hyuuga complex. That's why he snuck through the hallways. That's why he opened that door. That's why he soundlessly took out a kunai. That's why he wordlessly slit the Hyuuga's throat and snuck back out the way he came. His mission was complete and he had no remorse for it.

It took him only seconds to return to the Hokage's office. She asked if the deed was done. All he said was affirmative and took his payment. He felt no guilt for what he had done, but a thought stuck him. 'But will I feel the same way in the morning?'


"My father has been assassinated?" Hinata had gone a sickly pale. How was this possible? She could hardly believe it, let alone except the fact her father was dead.

"That is correct Hinata-sama." Neji confirmed.

"By who?"

"I don't know.. But I do know it was Konoha that ordered his death." In truth Neji did know, but how would Hinata react if she knew her boyfriend killed her father? He didn't want to know; hence he wouldn't tell her.

"Why?" Hinata had hated the man, but she felt herself beginning to tear over the matter of her father's death.

"He was deemed dangerous." Neji almost sighed as he saw his cousin finally come to fully understand her father was dead and he was never coming back.

"That's not reason enough.." Hinata bit her lip and a single tear made it's way down her cheek.

"Hinata I.." Hinata shook her head.

"No. Please leave me Neji." He reluctantly nodded and left Hinata alone to sob in her room.


There are so many rumors about you, sexy boy!

If you wanted me to, I'd give you everything,

but are you going to steal my heart too?

You're the type who cheats a lot, aren't you?

If it comes easy to you, that's even worse.

The words spilled gracefully from Hinata's mouth as she nonchalantly sang and danced infront of her mirror. She was singing one of the newest songs that she had written. She found it was an excellent way to keep her mind off of recent events.

With a splash of water,

you brought tenderness with you, sexy boy.

If it'll continue into the future...

I'll leave that to cupid.

Fall in love.

Full of hope.

Full of hope.

Embraced by a gentle breeze.

Seeing you cry in such a situation.

That's interesting, I'm surprised.

If I'm being blind,

I've been that way for a while...

It's so unlike me, isn't it?

The ocean, the wind, the shining sunshower.

Everything was perfect, sexy boy.

Though this season will come around again,

we can't come back.

Fall in love.

Full of hope.

Warm, captivating arms snaked around Hinata's waist. She sighed and leaned into the warm chest of their owner. She closed her eyes and a small kiss was placed on her forehead. She sighed inaudibly. She had to ask him if it was him. She had to know.

"You killed him, didn't you Naruto?" He seemed to flinch when she said those words. He must have been waiting for this.

"Hai... I did the deed. How did you know?" She could feel him tense.

"When I woke up in the middle of the night you were gone." Hinata sighed again. It had been him. Why did Tsunade have to pick him? Why not some one else? Why not someone she didn't know? But for some odd reason she just couldn't be mad at him for what he did. "When I heard the news this morning it didn't really take me long to put two and two together."

"Are you mad at me." He tensed again.

"No I'm not mad at you. You did what you had to do." She turned herself around in his arms and laid her head on his chest. "There's no reason for me to be mad at you for that." Hinata finally opened her eyes again and looked deep into his cerulean eyes. She saw love and worry there, but most of all she saw guilt. That was probably her fault.

"I'm sorry, Hinata." Sadness and remorse had finally crept into his voice.

"Don't be." He looked like he wanted to say more, but Hinata silenced him with a gentle kiss. He was smiling again when she broke the kiss.

"You know something Hinata?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you." He swooped down and caught her in a passionate kiss. She returned it. Somehow by the time they had parted they had ended up on the bed. Naruto was pinning her down and their fingers were entwined.

"I love you too Naruto."


"Shika!" Ino grumbled; she had been calling for the lazy shinobi for almost 10 minutes now. And she was now officially pissed off. "SHIKAMARU!!!" At last the lazy ninja shuffled in the door, but not without several mumblings of 'troublesome'.

"Yes dear?" He asked with a sarcastic tone in his voice.

"I want sushi." Ino grunted.

"What? Sushi? Why in the hell do you want sushi?"

"'Cause I do. Now go get me some." Ino ordered.

"We don't have any." He stated bluntly.

"Then go buy some." She hissed.

"Not in the mood." He slouched and turned to leave.

"If you don't I'll make sure that Shika Jr doesn't survive the night." Her voice was low and threatening. She smiled evilly when Shikamaru took off faster than he had ever moved in his life. In the process he knocked down Hinata and Sakura on his way out since they were right outside the door. They had probably just been about to knock, but obviously that didn't work out as planned.

"Sorry girls, but I have to go! Little Shika is in danger!!"

"What the hell was that about!" Shouted Hinata in alarm. This was just about the moment Ino decided to make her appearance.

"Hi guys." She smiled cheerfully.

"Ino what the hell did you do to Shikamaru?" Inquired Sakura.

"Oh, nothing much. Just threatened his 'little Shika Jr'." Ino was smiling manically now.

"I don't even want to know." Hinata stated firmly.

"Okie dokie then. So.. Why are you here?" She stared at them blankly.

"We need your help to put it bluntly." Hinata started to explain.

"With?"

"Getting back at Sasuke." Sakura blushed.

"Ouuuu.. I'm interested." She smirked. "Tell me more."


"Oh my God look at that!"

"Oh my God.."

"I feel bad for him."

"They're so girly!"

A large crowd had gathered outside the Konoha library. This crowd drew a certain Uchiha to it for some reason. He was on his way home from a recent mission and this crowd had caught his eye. They were laughing about something and God knows he need something to cheer him up after mass murdering over 1,000 people for his mission. As he got closer to the scene he felt that something wasn't right. Then he saw the words written below a personal item of clothing.

COME ONE.

COME ALL.

COME SEE.

YOUR FAVORITE UCHIHA'S UNDERWEAR!

THEY'RE POSTED ALL OVER KONOHA!

HAVE FUN!!

Sasuke turned blanche white once he got a better look at the piece of clothing on display. They were his favorite boxers; the ones with hearts and bunnies all over them! The words kiss me were written across the front too! But no one was suppose to ever see them, besides Sakura that is. In a blink of an eye he snatched the boxers and sprinted off into Konoha. It didn't take him long to find everything. But it was the last thing that had drawn the biggest crowd.

His 'Snuggly Wuggly' bear and his baby blankie! His life was ruined! They knew! They all knew! In a fit of angry he grabbed the bear and the blanket. He knew who had done this. It was Naruto! Only Naruto would do something like this! Oh if only he knew who had really done it and why. But instead of thinking more about it he dashed straight to Naruto's apartment.

Sasuke could hear Naruto's music blasting a mile away. Rolling his eyes he landed on the window sill of the stage room. Naruto had Hinata pinned up against the wall. They were furiously making out with each other and Naruto was cupping Hinata's breast. Sasuke almost fell out the window when Naruto slipped his hand under her shirt. He had to stop this before it went any further or they realized he was there, but he was already too late. Hinata's eyes had gone wide as she saw him there and she quickly got Naruto to stop.

"Oy, dobe get a room will ya!" Sasuke pretended to smirk arrogantly. Only to result in a enraged Naruto to whip around and chuck a kunai at him. He didn't have time to move; it hit him dead on. He gasped when the kunai lodged itself in his ribs. 'Damn him.. First that stupid prank and now this. I swear I'm so going to kill him.' Gritting his teeth he pulled the kunai free as blood started to pour from the wound. He snarled and threw it back at Naruto, who just caught it between his two fingers and threw it away carelessly.

"What the hell are you doing here Sasuke?" Naruto's voice came out in a low, threatening growl.

"I saw what you did in town and I'm pissed." Sasuke hissed back. The blood still flowed heavily from the wound. Naruto's expression changed from angry to pure confusion, but a look of enragement was still etched deep into his eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about Sasuke." His voice had a tone to it that was menacing and dangerous.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about bastard!" Sasuke screamed savagely and charged, a kunai in hand, directly at Naruto. He was jerked to a stop when Naruto caught the kunai with his fingers. The kunai was instantly wretched out of his grip. Naruto smirked and flicked him in the head. Sasuke went flying. 'What the hell? Is he really this strong? It can't be possible. To be defeated so easily...' He slammed into the wall, leaving quite the dent.

"Get out." Naruto commanded. Sasuke coughed up blood as he struggled to his feet. His arm was laced with horrible pain and his head was throbbing. He looked at Naruto with eyes of defiance and charged. This time it was Hinata who kicked him. Hard. She dashed and grabbed him by the collar before he hit the wall. She kneed him and then slammed him into the wall; creating a new, larger crater. Sasuke looked into her eyes and he could tell she was pissed, probably more then either he or Naruto were.

"You heard him. Get out of our home." She dropped him to the floor with a thud.

"Fine have it your way." Sasuke croaked the words as he limped over to the window. His arm, leg, and abdomen felt like they were on fire. Icy pain racked his body as he coughed up more blood. Why in the hell were those two so strong? He used to be able to take on both of them and beat them into the ground. Today, they had crushed him almost instantly and probably could have killed him if they wanted to. But they didn't and he swore to become stronger than them again and stay that way.

Some how he managed to get home and slump into a kitchen chair. Sakura must of heard him since she practically ran into the kitchen; a welcoming smile on her face. But that sweet, gentle smile faded when she saw the blood and the way he was holding his arm. She really did run to him. She started to heal him immediately.

"Sasuke what happened to you?" Worry was etched into every word that left her mouth.

"Naruto and Hinata. That's what." He scoffed.

"What happened?"

"I walked in when they were making out and probably preparing to do other things."

"Hmph. Serves you right then." Sasuke's jaw dropped. Did his girlfriend just side with the enemy?

"If it's any consolation I was there to confront Naruto about a certain prank he pulled." The wound in his ribs was now completely healed and the pain in his leg was slowly ebbing away as Sakura healed it.

"He didn't do it." Sakura finished his leg and started to tend to his arm.

"What do you mean he didn't do it?" Anger began to creep into his voice. Sakura merely rolled her eyes and walked over to one of the kitchen draws. She pulled out a scroll and set it on the kitchen table.

"Kai." The scroll released it's contents. Tons upon tons of porn magazines and porn videos poured out of the scroll. "I did it."

"Shit." She had found it; not good. "Thou hast no fury like a woman's scorn." He mumbled under his breath.

"Why the hell do you have this shit Sasuke? Am I not good enough for you? Do you have to look at other women in order to be satisfied? Aren't I enough for you?" Sakura was on the verge of tears. A wave of guilt shot through Sasuke. He had made her feel like this. It was all his fault. He had hurt the person he had loved the most. He tried to pull her to him and just hold her. But she wouldn't let him touch her. She pulled away and shouted at him. "I don't believe you!" The tears were flowing unchecked down her face. "FOR GOD'S SAKE SASUKE I'M EVEN CARRYING YOUR CHILD!" Sasuke looked at his 17 year old girl friend; shock was clearly writtten all over his face.

Sakura clamped her hand over her mouth as her eyes went wide with the realization of what she had just said. She did the only thing could think of. She ran. One second she was right infront of Sasuke and the next she was gone. She dashed through the streets just looking for somewhere to hide. Why did she say that? He wasn't suppose to know.

Sakura finally slowed down and stumbled down the street. She didn't know where she was going or even why she was really running away to begin with. Sakura ducked into a little restaurant. Sasuke came rushing by only seconds later. He had followed her. Was that a good sign? She didn't know. Leaving the restaurant; she debating on whether she should go home or camp out at Hinata or Ino's house. She decided to go back home.

When she got there she stormed to her their room and flopped onto the bed. Wetness rolled down her face. She wiped it away with her hands. 'This is stupid. Why did I run? Why am I crying? It's just so stupid!' Even so she couldn't stop the tears and she couldn't make herself feel any better. The only person that was going to make feel better was Sasuke and she knew it. Sakura buried her face in her pillow and just let the tears come.

Warm hands placed themselves on Sakura's shoulders and urged her to sit up. She did and she came face to with Sasuke. Wordlessly he kissed her and hard. They fell onto the bed and Sasuke broke the kiss. He picked her up and whirled around the room with her in his arms. Sakura held tightly around his neck; clinging to him with all her might. He stopped and put her on the bed.

"Sakura I didn't mean to hurt you. I'll never do it again. I'm sorry. I want you to know that I love you." He climbed up onto the bed with her and pulled her into his arms. Surprisingly she didn't resist this time. Instead she moved his hands from around her shoulders to her abdomen and leaned into him.

"What about our child?" He kissed her neck. "Is it really okay?"

"Okay? Sakura, it's more than okay it's wonderful!" He gave her a reassuring squeeze.

"But what about your idol image?"

"I don't care. Our child matters more." For the first time that day a genuine smile lit up Sakura's face.

"I'm glad."

"Good." Sasuke kissed her again. "I love you."

"I love you too." She rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes as he trailed kisses down her neck.

Amane: Okay, I know this is really, really late. First I was grounded and then I had something after school almost every night and a ton of homework. It really made the writing of this chapter go really slowly. I'm sorry it is so late. I tried to write something Sasuke funny, but it only ended up in more drama and sappiness than anything.

Sasuke: Hey! WTF was up with you putting all my unmentionables up all over Konoha?

Amane: Blame your girlfriend.

Sasuke: You influenced her!!!

Amane: Nope. She did it all by herself Mr. Pervert.

Naruto: Yeah! I kicked your ass Sasuke!

Hinata: I helped.

Naruto: I know. You were awesome Hinata!

Hinata: Mmmmhmmm.. Should we go back to doing other things?

Naruto: You bet baby.

Amane: Don't do that here! Get a room!

Sasuke: For once I agree! Get a room!

Amane: Oh shut up I don't need your help. (Smacks him in face with a huge, heavy book.)

Sasuke: Ouch.. (Falls to the ground.)

Amane: Thank you for reading and all your patience. Please review!!
