Chapter 14 – Hinata's Chapter
I was so envious of Sasuke and Sakura. They were going on a weeklong vacation to the mountains by themselves. I wished Naruto and I could have a week-long vacation alone together…Anyway, I agreed to watch Salad and Shosuke since Shinnosuke and Sosuke both got sick and were being taken care of by Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha. Little Seiya and Seita were left with Mr. and Mrs. Haruno.
It was fun having two more kids around the house. Himawari had a big sister and Bolt had a little brother. Sometimes I wished Naruto and I had had more kids but honestly, two was enough.
The thing that was funny about having Salad and Shosuke stay with us was that Bolt acted so different. I knew this was because Bolt liked Salad. We all knew Bolt liked Salad. Bolt was always trying to impress her either by taking her dishes after dinner or paying her nice compliments. Salad however only responded with "so annoying" or "how annoying" when he did those things. But isn't that the Uchiha-tell? Naruto says so. I can't believe Kushina was right. Bolt and Salad were meant to be together. Well, that was what I started to think until Wednesday night.
Salad came into the house with a furious look on her face. She ran up the stairs to Himawari's room before I could say anything. She came down with all her stuff in a duffle bag. She came to me and bowed.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Oba-san, but I'm going to stay with Chocho till my parents get back," She straightened up and was going to head towards the door.
"Salad, what happened? What's going on?" I tried to stop her. She was too quick for me and opened the door.
"Whoa! Where are you going?" Naruto had opened the door and Salad ran into him. She pushed pass him and ran off.
"What is going on?" He asked me.
"I don't know. I think we should stop her," I told Naruto. He immediately turned around and went after Salad. While Naruto was out chasing her down Himawari and Shosuke came in the house.
"Himawari, what happened to Salad?" I asked her.
"You should ask Bolt…" Himawari responded, "Let's go play upstairs, Shosuke."
Shosuke followed Himawari. What had Bolt done?
"Bolt!" I gasped when he came into the house with a swelling eye.
"What happened to you?" I went to him and knelt down so I could chexck his eye.
"It's nothing," He was putting up a front and tried to move pass me.
"Bolt, you can tell me," I followed him to the kitchen where he got an icepack and put it on his eyes. He turned around to me. I saw tears welling up in his uncovered eye. He just started crying. I held the poor boy.
"It's okay, Bolt. Kaa-san is here," I tried to soothe him.
"She hates me. She hates me," he muttered.
"Who hates you?" I asked.
"Salad. She hates me," He sobbed into my chest.
"No. She doesn't."
He pulled away from me.
"She does. She said so after she punched me," He informed me.
"What?" Salad punched Bolt and told him that she hated him?
"I got Salad," Naruto came in holding Salad's shoulder. Bolt immediately wiped away his tears and I stood up.
"What happened to you, Bolt?" Naruto noticed his son's condition.
"I punched him," Salad confessed. She had to have had a good reason. She wouldn't just go around punching people.
"Why?" Naruto looked at her scared.
"I don't want to talk about it. Please, just let me go to Chocho's," Salad would not look at us.
"We promised your parents to watch you, Salad. You have to stay with us. We also need to know why you punched Bolt," Naruto stated. Salad scowled at Naruto something fierce. I do think Naruto was honestly scared.
"I understand I have to stay here but I'm not going to talk about it," She stated and ran off from the kitchen. Naruto and I both looked to Bolt since he knew what happened.
"What happened, Bolt?" I asked. He looked away from me and did not respond.
"Bolt, please tell me," I tried again but he would not say anything.
"Boruto, answer your mother," I could tell Naruto was getting upset.
"Leave me alone, shitty old man!" Bolt yelled at Naruto and ran off. Naruto went after him. I decided to go try and talk to Salad.
"Salad, honey," I cracked open Himawari's door to see Salad near the window. Tears were going down her cheeks. She looked at me and began wiping her tears away.
"Please, go away, Oba-san," She was trying to be strong. I came and sat beside her on the window seat.
"Salad, what happened?" I asked gently.
"I don't want to talk about it," She glared at me.
"Salad," I tried to touch her arm but she swatted my hand away. I was shocked by her action. I think she was too since she froze after doing so.
"I'm sorry, Oba-san," She apologized. I touched her arm this time and assured her that I was fine. She started crying again. I took her into my arms and stroked her head.
"Salad, what happened? You can tell me," I assured her.
"Bolt kissed me," She whimpered in out embrace. I was stopped. Bolt kissed Salad?
"He kissed you?"
"Yes," nodded into my chest.
I could not believe it. Bolt kissed Salad.
"Did you say he could kiss you?" I asked. Salad pulled away from me.
"No. We were walking back here from the movies when we got in an argument about something stupid in the movie. Then he just kissed me out of the blue. So I punched him," She explained.
She was so much like Sakura. I could not scold Salad for defending herself. Bolt had been in the wrong by forcibly kissing her. That was not the way to go about winning a girl's heart. Without consent, every romantic gesture becomes a gesture of harassment. Why didn't I teach Bolt that? I felt like a failure as a mother.
"I hope you're not mad at me," Salad surprised me again.
"Mad at you? If I'm upset with anyone it is myself for not teaching Bolt how to properly treat a lady. I'm sorry, Salad. I'll make sure Bolt knows never to do that sort of thing again," I promised.
Salad soon felt better and decided to go to sleep. I left Salad and found Naruto. He did not look happy at all.
"Did Bolt tell you what he did?" I asked my husband.
"Yes," Naruto nodded angrily.
"I feel awful. I should have taught him better," I sighed.
"It's not your fault, Hinata. I am the one who should have taught him better. I am his father after all," Naruto defended me from myself.
"But I-"
"Hinata, please. It is my fault," Naruto cut me off. I knew better than to argue with him.
"Did Bolt say why he kissed her?" I asked.
"Well, you know he likes her."
"Yes, but why did he kiss her then and without asking for consent?"
"He said that in the movie the guy kissed the girl while they were fighting and just took that as his inspiration."
"I see."
"Is Salad still upset?" He asked.
"I don't think so. She is a sleep."
"I sent Bolt to bed too after giving him a new icepack. Salad has a lot of power in her punches. She's so much like Sakura."
"I thought that too."
"I think it's kind of ironic," Naruto muttered.
"What is ironic?" I asked.
"That Salad and Sasuke both lost their first kisses to Uzumakis," Naruto laughed.
"What?" I raised an eyebrow, "Who did Sasuke kiss?"
Naruto blushed then faked a yawn.
"I'm tired. I think I'll head to bed," He tried ot escape the conversation.
"Naruto, who did Sasuke kiss?" I grabbed his arm. Naruto blushed more and scratched his cheek in his embarrassment. Who had Sasuke kissed?
"It was me."
I was stunned. Naruto and Sasuke…kissed?
"It was an accident and it happened before you came to school and everything. You were my first kiss with a girl!" Naruto was rambling. I giggled. His first kiss was with Sasuke. Hilarious!
"Why are you laughing? It's not funny," Naruto pouted.
"But it is."
Naruto scowled and stomped away from me and to the couch. I stopped laughing and sat on his lap. He turned his face away from me just like Bolt does sometimes. They were so much alike.
"Naruto, it makes you feel any better, you're the only one I've ever kissed."
"You didn't kiss anyone before me?" Was he surprised?
"No. Not even on accident. You're my one and only, Naruto. I'm glad you are too. I don't think anyone else could ever make me feel the way you make me feel."
Naruto grinned like he does before he does those wonderful things to me that I like. I blushed thinking about what he might want to do.
"Do I make you feel good, Hinata?" He wiggled his eyebrows and moved his hand somewhere special. I blushed more.
"Y-yes," I yelped. He chuckled.
"Kaa-san," the sudden voice made me jump off of Naruto. Himawari and Shosuke were standing near us. I got even redder.
"Y-yes?"
"Can we have some water before we go to bed?" Himawari asked.
"Of course," I went and got each child a glass of water. Once they finished they started back up the stairs.
"I'm sorry about my parents. They do that sometimes," I heard Himawari apologize which made me blush again.
"Don't worry about it. My parents do that all the time when they think we aren't watching," Shosuke responded then got out of ear shot. I returned to Naruto and went upstairs to finish what we had started.
