Yours to Hold

Summary: AU Naruto has spent his entire life with millions of dollars, but he was always alone. Hinata and Hanabi have spent their entire lives being abused by their father. What happens when Hinata and Hanabi run away from home? A tale of life, wealth, and loneliness.

I don't own Naruto.

HoNdeR: Yeah I know the chapters are short and stuff 13 chapters for 2 months… U notice something? That's like, a new chapter every week! That's damn consistency man! I think you'd all be happier if I updated every week then make you wait a month and get some super chapter… no offense to any of you who do that though… cause those stories are usually kick ass.

AN: Well this chapter is finally done… and I have to thank all of you who took the time to read it and review and stuff… Cause thanks to you all I have over 100 reviews and 11,000 hits! Thanks everyone!

Chapter 13: Blood, Sweat, Tears and...

"A-Ayame? W-what is it?"

"Um… its about your cake."

"Y-yes?"

"Alright I'm gonna tell her the truth. Tell her the truth. Tell her the truth. Tell her the truth. Tell her the tru-"

Ayame suddenly stopped when she saw the worried look in the girl's eyes. Her lips were already trembling and her eyes started to water up a little, as if she already knew what Ayame was about to say.

"I… I can't do it!" Ayame thought as she turned around. "I can't tell her that the cakes gone! It'd break her heart!"

She turned around and looked at Hinata again.

"Wouldn't it be worse if I just lied about it and she came here a few days later wanting to know where it is? …Arghhh!"

"Um… The cake's… gone."

"….W-what?" Hinata asked softly.

"Um… I think I should tell you from the beginning…"

Later…

"T-that's a… l-little bit of a r-relief… So it wasn't as g-good as I hoped it w-would be… T-thankfully N-Naruto will never get the c-chance to e-eat it…" Hinata said sadly.

Ayame noticed and began to panick. "Hey! Hey! Don't get so down, Hinata!" Ayame said quickly, "We… We can make a better one!"

Hinata looked at the older girl oddly. "Don't look at me like that! You can make one even better! … Just make sure we don't leave it in the oven too long…"

"B-but-"

"We have time, right?"

"Including t-today… T-three days…"

"That's plenty of time! C'mon, we'll make sure this is better than the last one."

"O-ok…"

Ayame had hoped that with the experience from before, that Hinata would be better at baking this time. That was not the case.

Attempt 1:

"… Hinata?"

"A-Ayame?"

"…Any reason why the cake is puffing up like that?"

"… Um… W-was… Was I supposed to p-put yeast in t-the c-cake?"

"…Oh God."

Attempt 2:

"Ayame! I-I think the c-cake is done."

"Really? That was quick!" Ayame said as she looked at the oven. Then she noticed how high the temperature in the oven was. "500 Degrees!"

"Um… is that bad?"

"Yes!… Come here, sit down." Ayame said, "All right, you know how food is right? Like you want something tender and soft right? For example, you'd want a nice tender piece of beef opposed to a hardened one right?"

"Um… I-I think s-so."

"…What I'm trying to say is slow down the heat. I never really figured out why, but when you cook something slower, it ends up softer."

"…I don't g-get it."

"Oi. Ok, let's say we want to broil a steak, ok?"

"A-huh."

"Now would you rather have it cook at 350 degrees for an hour, or would you rather have it cooked at 3000 degrees for .2 seconds?"

"Um…"

"The first one, right?"

"…I-I don't get it."

"…" Ayame shook her head sadly, "Just turn down the heat next time."

Eventually…

"There! Done!" Hinata said happily as she finished icing the cake.

"What you did it?!" Ayame asked surprised.

"A-huh!"

"Good job Hinata. So what do you want to do with the cake?" Ayame asked, "Are you going to take it home today?"

"Y-yes…" Hinata said uneasily- as if she wanted to say something else but couldn't find the words to say it.

Ayame noticed this and laughed, "Yeah considering what happened when you left that cake here last time, huh?"

"N-No! I-I mean… Yeah…"

Ayame giggled and patted the girl on the back "Well you make sure that cake gets to Naruto tomorrow, ok? You protect that thing with your life!"

Hinata nodded and she and Ayame packed the cake into a small box. "T-thank you for e-everything A-Ayame." Hinata said as she left Ichiraku's.

"Don't mention it!"

Later…

Hinata smiled happily as she walked home. She had finally made a good cake, it didn't seem as hard as a rock this time! … Unless cakes could harden spontaneously minutes after being taken out of the oven… But that seemed highly improbable… right?

Hinata suddenly began worrying, when she bumped into someone. Hinata stumbled backwards and began worrying even more. "Is the cake okay?!" She yelled in her mind as she opened up the cake box. She sighed in relief seeing it was perfectly fine.

"Aww, fuck. My snow cone!"

"Oh yeah… I bumped into someone." Hinata thought. She then mentally cursed at herself for being so worked up about the cake when she could've hurt someone.

"Hey! You owe me a new snow cone, bitch!" The person she bumped into said. Hinata looked up and examined him for a second.

It was a boy, maybe a year or two older than herself. He had silver hair that went to his shoulder. He was pretty tall, and he had slim, yet muscular arms and legs. A swimmers body or something close to it. He wore a long purple shirt and baggy dark blue jeans. The one offsetting thing about him was his teeth. They were all sharpened and pointed, like a shark.

The boy looked angry at first but suddenly he smirked when he looked down. Hinata looked down to see what the boy was looking at. It was her cake.

"You made that to make up for my snow cone? Aww thanks, you shouldn't have!" The boy said happily. He gave her a fake smile and extended his arms to take the box away from Hinata.

"No! B-but I worked so hard to make it!" Hinata yelled in her mind as she violently closed her eyes. "I made this for Naruto!"

Hinata was to shook up to speak, but violently shook her head 'No' and kicked the boy in the shin.

"Ow! What the hell was that for?!" The boy asked angrily.

Hinata was frightened to do anything else as the annoyed boy cracked his knuckles and slowly walked closer to her. He curled his hand into a fist and pulled back.

"Suigetsu! What the fuck are you doing man?!" A voice yelled from behind the two.

Hinata and the boy turned around to see a boy with black cargo shorts and a black shirt walking toward them. Hinata immediately recognized him when she saw the small white puppy resting on the boy's head. "K-Kiba!" Hinata yelled out.

"Hinata? That you?" Kiba asked as he approached the two. Akamaru barked as if confirming that it was Hinata.

"Suigetsu, what were you gonna do to Hinata?" Kiba asked calmly.

"You know this girl Kiba?" Suigetsu asked as he lowered his fist. "Yeah! She's… uh… Naruto's girl!" Suigetsu blinked twice at Kiba's response. Part of him was in shock, another part wanted to burst out laughing… and the other part just wanted a damn snow cone.

"So what were you gonna do to her Suigetsu?" Kiba asked with a smirk.

"…Nothin'… But she made me drop my snow cone."

Kiba sighed as he got a five dollar bill out of his pocket and handed it to Suigetsu. "Go get another one."

"Thanks. See you around Kiba." Suigetsu said calmly as he left.

"Later."

Kiba then turned to Hinata and sighed. "Damn that was close… Hinata? … Oh I get it. Your still shocked cause I said you were Naruto's, huh?"

Hinata did not respond.

A few minutes later…

"So why did you run into Suigetsu?" Kiba asked.

"S-Suigetsu?"

"Yeah, that's his name. He's usually really calm about everything. But that was a dumb move making him drop it, y'know? Suigetsu doesn't like a lot of things, but he does love his snow cones. Its like Naruto with ramen."

"Oh… Wait… W-why did you say t-that I w-was…"

Kiba laughed as he strongly patted Hinata on the back, "I knew that'd work. Suigetsu doesn't really like to mess with Naruto a lot."

"W-why?"

"Eh, beats me. So what's with the cake?"

"Oh… I-Its for N-Naruto."

"Huh?"

"I-It's been nearly a m-month since he t-took us in…"

"Oh." "Man I wish a cutie like Hinata would bake me a cake one day…" Kiba thought. Kiba mentally slapped himself and said "You should probably get home though."

"R-right… T-Thank you K-Kiba." Hinata said as she got of the bench she was sitting on and began running home.

Kiba smiled as he got a good view of her but.

Hinata quickly made her way home smiling at the thought of being 'Naruto's girl'.

The next day…

"Hey brat wake up!" Anko yelled as she kicked down Naruto's door.

Naruto quickly shot up from bed and stared at his door, "C'mon, Sis! I may be rich, but it takes good time and money to make doors like that!"

"Oh be quiet you little brat." Anko said as she chucked a pillow she found on the floor at him. Naruto easily dodged.

"So why do you want me…" Naruot stopped for a second to look at the clock in his room, "…Up at 7:30 in the morning?"

"Eh… early bird gets the worm?"

"We both know that's a load of bull crap."

Anko laughed. She taught the boy well. "Hinata and Hanabi wanted you up for breakfast. It's a special day today…"

"Oh God I forgot your birthday I'm so sorry!"

"You ass!" Anko yelled, "Besides you're a couple of months early."

"Huh? Then what is it?" Naruto asked.

"Just get changed and get downstairs." Anko said as she closed Naruto's door. Naruto shrugged and threw on some jeans.

Meanwhile…

"Did you wake him up?" Hanabi asked Anko as she set the table.

"Yup… so tell me again why you brats are doing this for the other brat?" Anko said as she pulled a can of beer out of her coat pocket.

Hanabi kicked Anko in the shin, and Anko bent down, giving Hanabi enough time to snatch her beer. "No. You are not getting drunk at 7 in the morning."

"Geez, you're just like Naruto!" Anko yelled as she pouted and sat herself down at the table.

"But seriously, why go through all this trouble?"

Hinata walked in the room and set down a few bowls of ramen. "W-well… Naruto has been so k-kind to us… And it's been a m-month since he let us m-move in here so w-we wanted to do something s-special."

Anko grunted in response.

A few minutes Naruto came down into the kitchen. "Hey! What's for breakfast? … Ohhh Ramen!" Naruto said in awe. He quickly rushed to the table, but Hanabi stopped him by grabbing on to the back of his shirt.

"Not so fast! Don't you even want to know why there's ramen for breafast!"

"…Ok, shoot."

"…Makes it hard to feel grateful if you ask like that…" Hanabi muttered.

'Huh? Something up?"

"No, no, nothing!" Hanabi said.

"Um… H-Hanabi and I… W-we just w-want to thank you for t-taking us in…"

"Aww… you two didn't have to do this for me! … I was happy to do that!" Naruto said as he gave the two girls his trade mark foxy grin.

"Wait there's more… so go eat your ramen so we can give our presents to you!" Hanabi said as she pushed Naruto to his seat.

"Alright, alright… wait… Presents?!"

"Just eat the damn beef flavored noodles!"

Anko laughed. Ever since Hanabi and Hinata moved, mornings weren't so dull anymore.

Later…

"Ahh… that was good."

"It was Ichiraku's."

"Ah." Naruto said as he gulped down a glass of water, "So you said you had a present?"

"A little impatient aren't we?" Hanabi asked, "Just go to the living room. We'll be there soon."

"K." So Naruto and Anko made their way to the living room and turned on the TV.

30 seconds later, Hanabi came into the living room with something in gift wrap. She tossed it into Naruto's lap and said "Open it."

Naruto nodded and did. Under the gift warp, he found a clear rubber bag with orange trim. In it were numerous gardening tools, each with a bright orange hilt, and numerous packs of seeds that would bloom into orange flowers.

"Wow!" Naruto said.

"You like it?" Hanabi asked with a smile.

"I love it! … And it's orange!"

"I know, huh?" Hanabi asked with a small giggle, "I was really surprised to see that you didn't have any orange gardening tools!"

"I know right? I couldn't find anything anywhere I went… all stores have are green and black."

"Ick."

Naruto laughed and gave Hanabi a quick hug and another thanks.

After he was done fooling around with the orange hilted mini shovel, he turned to Hanabi. "Hey where did Hinata go?"

"Um… I'm here…"

Naruto turned around to see Hinata standing there, with a big white box in her hands.

"Um… I made t-this… for you… N-Naruto…" Hinata said sheepishly.

"Ok… stay calm Hinata… the cake will turn out fine… He'll love it! Yeah… That's what Ayame said. Hard work makes things taste better." Hinata thought as Naruto walked toward her.

Naruto slowly opened the box and… "Oh goodness… What's he gonna say… He's seen my cooking before… What if he rejects it flat out?! What if he doesn't want to have some?!" Hinaat began to panick in her mind as Naruto opened the box.

"A cake? You made this Hinata?" Naruto asked.

"Y-yes…"

"Wow… knowing you… It must've taken a lot of work to make this!"

Hinata sweat dropped in her mind "It did…"

Naruto and Hinata stood there for a few seconds, with dumb smiles and blushes on their faces. Until of course Anko spoke up. "Hurry up and take the cake, Naru! Since I didn't get my beer this morning I need something to energize me!"

Naruto sighed angrily as he took the box from Hinata and set it down on the coffee table that was in front of the TV.

"I… I'm going to g-get some p-paper plates." Hinata said quickly as she dashed out of the room, her face entirely red. Hanabi sighed. At least her sister was able to give Naruto the cake.

A few seconds later Hinata came back with a stack of paper plates and plastic knives and forks. Naruto slowly walked over to Hinata to take the paper plates when…

"Hmm…" Anko thought as she saw Hinata and Naruto walking toward each other. Anko was currently sitting a few feet from where Hinata was right now and Naruto was slowly making his way closer to her. An evil idea popped into her head.

As the two made their way closer, Anko accidentally stuck her foot out… Which in turn, made Naruto accidentally trip and fall on Hinata… and as any spontaneous romantic comedy would have… Their lips were touching.

Hanabi sighed as she saw the whole thing. She looked at Anko and asked, "You did that didn't you?"

"A-huh." Anko said with an amused smirk on her face.

"… You look like your having fun."

"More than you could ever imagine."

"…You're horrible."
