Chapter 14
The group of men walked inside the front gates of Konoha. "Sasuke and I will head to the Hokage's tower; the rest of you go home and get cleaned up we'll meet there this evening," Yamato ordered. They all nodded.
Sasuke took in his surroundings. He didn't even recognize some of the buildings. That's what being away for so long does to a person. He also noticed all the stares he got from people who realized who he was. Terror was written all over their faces, he really didn't care though. People's opinion of him was never a priority in his book.
"Ah, welcome Yamato, Sasuke."
"It's good to be back; I sent everyone else home and told them to meet here this evening. I decided to escort Sasuke myself to you."
"Alright thanks, you have the rest of the day off."
Yamato said his good byes and exited the office.
"It's good to finally talk to you in person again Sasuke."
Sasuke took a seat in a chair. "Yeah, so where am I staying."
"With me."
Sasuke sighed. "Ok so where is that?"
Kakashi chuckled. "By the lake not far from team 7's old training grounds. It's hard to miss since it's the only house in the area." Kakashi handed him a piece of paper.
Sasuke walked to his desk and picked it up. "What's this?"
"It's a summary of your pardon. Take it with you and read it over and report back in with everyone else. I'll assign you an escort tomorrow to get you familiar with village."
"I don't need an escort I'll manage on my own, thanks."
Kakashi chuckled. "Well you can head to the house and rest up. Hinata should be there. She will fix you up a room to stay in."
Sasuke noticed a look of sadness in his former sensei's eyes. "Ok, I'll see you later."
KH
Yamato walked into his apartment. He would have to visit Ino once he was cleaned up. Yamato heard movement coming from the bathroom meaning Ino was already there and for the look of things she had been there the entire time he was away. He heard the toilet flush and water running.
Ino soon came out with her hair in a messy pony tail wearing one of his shirts. She looked sick.
"Yamato, baby you're back," Ino said running towards him jumping in his arms. She kissed him long and hard.
"It's good to see you too Ino."
"I would have cleaned up if I knew you would be back today," she said combing her pony tail with her fingers. "I made breakfast if you're hungry."
"Thanks, but I'm not really hungry." Yamato rubbed her cheek. It was good thing he really wasn't hungry because Ino was not the best of cooks, but he appreciated her efforts. "I'm going to take a quick shower," Yamato said kissing her cheek.
Once Yamato was in the bathroom Ino quickly took her down and began to brush it. She couldn't believe she let him see her like this his first day back.
Once inside Yamato relaxed under the hot water. It had been days since he had a nice hot shower. Mission baths were nothing like the real deal. He noticed he was right about Ino being there the whole time. She had her lavender towel set neatly next to his, and not to mention her shampoo and conditioner. He smiled at that. Ino was his life now so maybe he should take things with them a step further.
Yamato stepped out of the shower knocking over the small trashcan in the bathroom; Ino must have moved it. He towel dried his hair and wrapped a towel around his waist and began to pick up the fallen trash. That's when he noticed two boxes. His eyes widen when he saw what the boxes once contained.
Ino had changed into some blue skinny jeans and a purple tank. She was sitting on the bed when the bathroom door suddenly opened. Yamato slowly walked out with the boxes in his hands. "Ino…is there something you want to tell me?"
Ino looked up at him from putting lotion on her arms and her smile dropped from her face. She slowly stood up and took the boxes away from him hiding them behind her back. "I uh…"
"Ino, tell me. Are…are you…pregnant?"
KH
Sasuke approached the large house. It was surprisingly nice; he would have to ask Kakashi about it later. Sasuke knocked on the door. He stood there for only a few seconds before he was greeted by a small boy.
"Yes..?"
Sasuke took a good look at the boy. He did indeed look like what he believed Kakashi to look except he had Hinata's eyes. "I'm here to see your mother, may I come in?"
Hiroki looked Sasuke up and down, and then smiled. He seemed nice enough to Hiroki. "Come in sir."
When Sasuke was walking in he saw bags sitting next to door. He mentally sighed, why him? His attention was then caught by the image of a beautiful young woman.
"Hiroki sweetie who—" Hinata stopped mid-sentence when she saw Sasuke standing next to her son. "Sasuke.." she whispered.
"Hey mama this man said he is here to see you!" Hiroki yelled pulling his mother towards her guest.
"Hiroki why don't you go help your brother." Hinata watched him run up the stairs. She slowly walked closer to him taking in his appearance. "Sasuke, w-what are y-you doing here?"
"Did I come at a bad time?"
Hinata looked at the bags by the door. "No. Does Kakashi know you're here?"
Sasuke nodded. "Yeah, he's the one that told me to come. I will be staying her with you guys for a while. That is if you're not leaving."
Hinata looked down. "I can make a room for you, but—"
"You're leaving him aren't you?"
Hinata was shocked. How did Sasuke know she was leaving Kakashi? "It's complicated."
Sasuke just nodded his head and followed her up the stairs. He was not about to get in the middle of whatever was going on between them. "This room is already made up. There are towels and blankets in the closet. Your bathroom is right through that door."
"Thanks," he said looking around the room.
"It really is good to see you again Sasuke." Hinata sighed she just couldn't leave her house guest alone. "I will be making lunch in the next few hours. So rest up a bit, we will talk later."
"So I take it you're staying.."
Hinata gave him a small smile. "What kind of a host would I be if I left you alone?"
"Ma, where do you…who is that?"
Now this one is he was sure looked like Kakashi, again if he knew what he looked like. "Sasuke Uchiha."
"Sakumo Hatake," Sakumo said giving Sasuke a small bow.
"This is my oldest and the one you met earlier was Hiroki," Hinata said placing her hand on Sakumo's shoulder. "Sasuke is an old friend and he will be staying with us for a while."
"So we're not going to other house anymore?"
"No, so you and your brother go unpack, ok?" she said rubbing his head.
"Um ok," Sakumo said before leaving the room.
"Well I will leave you to get settled in."
KH
Ino and Yamato sat on the bed next to each other.
"Are you mad at me? I know this is all my fault."
Yamato looked her and took her hand in his. "No and it's not anyone's fault."
They continued to sit there. Yamato tried to wrap his mind around what was happening. He just said moments before finding the boxes in the trash said he wanted to take their relationship to next level, but he didn't plan on this.
"Have you been to the doctor yet?"
"No I was planning on going today at 3. That was before, I didn't know you were coming home today," Ino said looking down.
"We'll go together then." Ino smiled at him. She loved him so much and was glad that he was being supportive in this situation.
"I love you, Yamato."
Yamato caressed her cheek and kissed her softly. "I love you too."
"So how was your mission," Ino asked leaning her head on his shoulder.
Yamato wrapped his arm around her. "Fine, everything went down without a hitch. Sasuke is back."
He felt Ino stiffen a bit at the mention of Sasuke's name. He always knew how Sakura and Ino were obsessed with him; he just hoped his return wouldn't change things between them.
"Wow, I thought he was dead. Wow, I mean that's good news. I know Naruto must be really happy."
"Yeah he is. How do you feel about it?"
Ino thought for a moment. To be honest she hadn't really thought about Sasuke in years. "I'm just glad he's back safe and Naruto is happy. That's what's important to me; Naruto."
"That's good to hear."
KH
Genma knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer it.
"Genma! You're back," Hinata said giving him a quick hug. "Please come in, the boys will be happy to see you."
"Gem-Gem," Hiroki yelled running towards him.
"Hey Hiro, it's good to see you. Where's your brother?"
"Oh he is out back practicing with some tooth picks," Hiroki said.
Tooth pick? Genma inwardly laughed at Hiroki, he obviously meant Senbons. "How about you out back and tell him to get ready. I need to talk to your mother."
"Okay!" yelled Hiroki running off.
"You look beautiful," Genma said rubbing her cheek.
Hinata blushed. "Thanks," she replied leaning into his touch.
Sasuke was half way down the stairs when he saw the two of them. He mentally sighed. Why was he always the one to know everything? "I'm not interrupting am I?"
Genma looked and saw Sasuke leaning against the doorframe. "No, I was just leaving." Genma gave Hinata a small smile before exiting the house.
Sasuke and Hinata just stood there a moment in silence. "Do you love him?"
Hinata looked at Sasuke. Before she could speak he spoke again. "Not your boyfriend, I'm talking about your husband."
Hinata sighed and fell to the floor. She was an awful person and she knew it. She had never put a label on her and Genma, but hearing what Sasuke just said made her feel worse than what she already did. How is it that someone she hasn't been close with since she was six could know so much about her? Sasuke sat next to her.
"Answer me," me he said without even looking at her.
"I love him more than anything."
Sasuke then looked at her. "I know you do, but it isn't enough is it?"
Hinata felt tears in her eyes as she shook her head no. She had never talked to anyone about this until now. She supposes the only reason she is talking about it now is because he confronted her. Sasuke wrapped his arm around her and rubbed her back. He didn't know why but he hated seeing women cry, especially her.
"Genma fills in all the holes Kakashi doesn't, I understand why you like him. But are you willing to give up Kakashi for him?"
"I don't know any more Sasuke."
"My only advice is this, do what makes you and your family happy. If that's Genma then be with him and be happy. If that's Kakashi, then put your foot down."
They continued to set close together while Hinata thought over everything that has happened in her life and how she can move forward.
KH
Ino and Yamato sat next to each other in the OB GYN waiting area in the back of the hospital. He was starting to get nervous for some reason. He has told himself everything would be fine, but now that they were there he was feeling funny.
"Ino, the doctor will see you know."
Yamato stood up and grabbed Ino's hand as they followed the nurse to a room.
"Alright Ms. Yamanaka, take off all your clothes and put this gown on. The doctor will be in a moment to give you your exam. Did you already leave a pee sample?"
Ino took the gown and nodded. "Alright the doctor will be here shortly."
Ino quickly got undress. She sat on the exam chair holding Yamato's hand.
"It's alright Ino, everything will be fine," Yamato said giving her a small smile.
"Knock, knock…Hello my name is, Ino? I didn't know it was you I was seeing. The file just said Yamanaka."
"Oh Shizune, you're going to be my doctor?"
"Yes unless you want another one," Shizune said washing her hands.
"No you will be fine," Yamato said rubbing Ino's back.
"Yes he's right, you will be just fine."
"Alright we tested your sample and you are indeed pregnant. So lay back and put you your feet on theses medal foot rests."
Ino did as she was asked. Shizune sat between her legs. "This maybe a bit uncomfortable, but it will be a quick process. I am just checking the basics."
Shizune inserted two gloved fingers and push down on Ino's lower stomach. "Good deal." Shizune said as she began pressing around Ino's breast under her gown. "Perfect." She then began writing things down her chart. "Ok according to your knowledge of you last period you expected due date is January 9 of next year, which means you are 8weeks pregnant. So I will seclude you're an appointment to come back in 4 weeks and give you your vitamins to take home."
"Wow a baby," Yamato whispered sitting back in the chair.
"Yep a baby, it seems like the seasons for babies," Shizune said smiling.
"Really are there a lot of women pregnant?" Ino asked.
"Yes, a few nurses here, a couple of teachers from the academy, and I'm sure you know about the Hatake's new addition."
"What?" Ino looked at Shizune like she was crazy. Hinata didn't tell her anything about having another baby.
"Well yes she was in here really early this morning. She's further alone than you are though. She's already 12 weeks. I was sure she would have told you by now."
KH
Kakashi sat behind his desk as the guys started to file in. "I want to thank everyone for your discretion and participation on this mission. Sasuke is a very important member of our group. I for one am very happy he is back."
"Me too, that's why I'm taking the bustard out for Raman after this! We all should go!" Naruto yelled.
"Sure I got nothing to do," Shikamaru gave Naruto a tired smile.
"Count me in, it's on you right Naruto?" Aoba asked smiling.
"Don't make this a social outing I never even agreed to go," Sasuke said folding his arms.
"Ungrateful as always I see Uchiha.." Neji said frowning.
Kakashi smiled at how they all still acted the same way with each other. His eye lingered on Genma a little longer than he liked because of the way Sakumo praised him. He frowned because he was jealous of the fact he had a better relationships with his sons than he did. Kakashi heard someone calls his name but something else caught his attention.
"Uh Kakashi…." Kakashi put his hand up and the whole room went silent. Was he wearing Hinata's necklace? Is he the man Hinata's been seeing?
Sasuke looked between Kakashi and Genma. Then he saw the charm barely sticking out from the side of his vest. Before he knew what was happening he had activated his Sharingan with an iron grip on Kakashi arm. He didn't know when or how but Kakashi was inches from landing a deadly punch in Genma's face.
"Kakashi-sensei, what the hell?!" Naruto yelled.
"Let go of me Sasuke.." Kakashi said in a deathly tone. If he wasn't Sasuke, anyone else probably would have been scared at the way Kakashi sounded.
"Kakashi, what's going on?" Yamato asked. The other men in the room stood back.
"I said let go Sasuke!"
Sasuke tighten his grip. "What the fuck do you think you're doing Hokage?" Sasuke whispered harshly. Kakashi didn't look at him.
"Am I the only one who doesn't know what the hell is happening here?!" Naruto yelled.
Genma didn't even blink when he saw Kakashi launch towards him. He just stood there never breaking eye contact with him.
"Everybody out," Sasuke ordered. "Now!"
Yamato began ushering people out and he himself was about to close the door and leave but Sasuke told him to stay. Yamato nodded and closed the door.
"Now, I'm going to let your arm go, but if you so much as move from this spot next time I'll break it." Sasuke let go of Kakashi. Kakashi snatched away and rubbed his now sore arm.
"I take it this is a personal matter," Yamato said. "Even so Kakashi, you know you're not allowed to attack your ninja due to personal vendettas."
Kakashi leaned against his desk and sighed. "Hinata's been sleeping with him."
Yamato looked at him with wide eyes. Did he hear him right, Hinata cheating on him with Genma? "Are you sure?" Yamato asked.
"I'm positive."
Sasuke felt bad for Kakashi. He looked so hurt.
"I just can't believe Hinata of all people would cheat on you," Yamato said sitting behind his desk. "It just doesn't seem like her."
"I've known from the beginning she was seeing someone else, I just didn't know who. I never wanted to know who."
"Man up you wimp!" Sasuke yelled frowning at him. "Don't you care about her?"
"I do, but it's over…"
"When did your dick get replaced with a vagina? I mean seriously. She's your woman not his and if you love her so much he wouldn't even be in the picture!"
"Come on Sasuke, give him a break," Yamato said.
"Why should I? While he's spending late nights here working he should be at home fucking his wife!"
"Ok that's enough he's already blaming himself. At least we could be a bit more supportive."
Sasuke laughed. "Supportive? Awe is poor Kakashi upset at the fact he pushed his wife into another man's arms?"
Yamato shook his head. There was no helping it, Sasuke was going to get all over Kakashi for this.
"Fine, Sasuke you're right. I neglected my family and now they look to Genma! There's nothing I can do about it now, is there?!"
"You know I had a good conversation with Hinata before I came here." Both Yamato and Kakashi looked at Sasuke. "We talked for hours about you Kakashi. She loves you."
"I know she does, but that wasn't enough. Not even Sakumo cares for me."
"You know why he acts the way he does with you? And it has nothing to do with you working. He sees the pain in his mother's eyes when she looks at you. I should know. I was never really crazy about my father. If you want your son's respect you have to go through Hinata to get it." Sasuke touched Kakashi on the shoulder. "I know I come off as a hard ass but I know what Sakumo feels. You make him think they're second to your work. Don't let this job ruin the best thing that's ever happened for you. I learned the hard way that you need people around that care about you."
"I agree with him Kakashi. Shocking I know but I do."
"Now let's go home. Things here can wait until tomorrow," Sasuke said walking towards the door.
KH
Hinata hummed as she put the finishing touches on dinner. She made something special for Sasuke. "Boys wash up and come down for dinner!"
"Something smell gooood~" Hiroki sung sitting in his chair.
"You say that every time we eat."
"Mama is the bestest cook in the world Sakumo."
Hinata laughed as she put their plates in front of them. She then heard the door open. "That must be Sasuke," she said fixing him a plate.
"Dad!" Hinata turned around and saw both Kakashi and Sasuke walk in the dining room.
"K-Kakashi I wasn't expecting you home so early."
"He decided to call it a night early," Sasuke said taking the plate from Hinata.
Kakashi followed Hinata into the kitchen. "Hinata I love and….and I am willing to do whatever it takes to make things right between us." Hinata slowly turned around to face him. "I will be here every morning for breakfast and at home at night for diner. I will put the boys to bed some nights. I'll be a better man for you. I won't ignore you anymore; I will take you out like I use to, please Hinata. Please give me a chance to prove myself to you. I love you so much it hurts."
Hinata stood there with tears in her eyes. What the hell did Sasuke say to him? Kakashi had never apologizes like this before, never. Hinata walked towards him and wrapped her arms around him. "I'm so sorry Kakashi…t-this is not a-all your fault."
"Shhhh.." Kakashi said rubbing his fingers through her hair. "Everything that has happened over the past few years is my fault Hinata. If I had been better to you, you wouldn't have even had time to take notice of another man."
"But t-that doesn't excuse w-what I've done…"
Kakashi grabbed Hinata's face and whipped away her tears with his thumbs. "It doesn't matter," was all he said before he kissed her.

"Sooo Sasuke was it? How come we've never met you before now?" Sakumo asked
"I've been away on business. Now that I'm back you'll be seeing a lot more of me."
"Yeah I guess so since you're living with us now."
"So what should we call you?" Hiroki asked.
"Master is fine.."
"Master?" Sakumo asked folding his arms.
"Ok Master Sasuke," Hiroki said smiling.
"See, be a good boy like your brother," Sasuke said patting Hiroki's head.
"Fine, Master Sasuke…what are you the master of anyway?"
"Oh you didn't know…" Sasuke activated his Sharingan.
"Wooow…" both boys said.
"That's awesome!" Sakumo said getting a closer look.
"Yeah, way cool!" Hiroki added getting just as close.
