Chapter 14

A Life without Him…..Will I love once more.

Part one: missing

Once they made it inside of the hideout sasuke was meet his old brother Itachi and three cats. They looked upon Sasuke and the pregnant hinata. Hinata looked at Itachi and the cats. It has been long since Tsunade used her Justus and Naruto's charka to bring back people that has died for the for the purpose of controlling them, Itachi was one out of 3 to be brought back from Akatuki

"Sasuke, didn't know you like cats"

"they're not cats Lady Hinata, but they are NINJA cats" Itachi smile at her. "So what brings you here?"

"Brother" as soon as sasuke said a word he was hissed by the cats to shut up.

"As you can see, Im with child or tectonically with twins" she was nervous to talk to him even with the cats hissing violently.

"Sasuke it that you're doing?" one of the cats asked.

"No, for you see this is my doing. I fell in love with the kazekage and we'll he has his own family to deal with."

"Itachi, Denka, Hina, and Nekomata…. I love hinata with all my heart. I promised to be there for her and her twins. "

"I See." Itachi was amazed his little brother loved someone.

The big cat walked to Hinata. It smelled her, from her head to her toes. "I am Nekomata, boss of the ninja cats" he looked up and down at her "You are Hinata Hyūga"

Hinata was scared of this Cat, it looked mean. She closed her eyes and nodded. She remembered her mission with a cat, a cute she pretended this big cat was that kind cat. She smiled at the cat. "Im am honored to meat you cat boss".

At that moment Nekomata had a little pink blush. "As I am, It's the 1st time I seen a Hyūga but cats here and their tell me things." Nekomata walked back back to Itachi. "Congratulations."

Without moving the other two cats meowed in agreement. Itachi was happy the cat boss liked her; he didn't seem fond of others then the Uchiha. "Yes Congratulations" He looked at sasuke and nodded. Sasuke held out his hand for hinata to take. That is what she did.

The pair walked down a corridor, to the second door on the right. When sasuke lead her into the room. Her eyes widened, it was a big room. in the bed room was a king sized bed, and scrolls on the wall. She staggered to see this room. "It's a big room"

"For you and your kids. This use to be my parent's room when they went to long missions, together." His expiration saddens.

She couldn't help herself she hugged him, to see him down when he was her wall to support her. She knew the pain of losing a mother, but losing a whole family was a world crumbling. They stood there, their embrace was without end. This feeling was not like what she had with Gaara but different. Hinata broke the hug, for fearful that this was more then she bargained for.

Sasuke kissed her forehead. "Within two weeks, we shall go see your father. I bet your clan wants to see you and love belly. But for now I must leave If we both are missing that would mean trouble" he closed the door behind him.

Hinata wanted to sleep but she had her task to do. She opened the scroll and with charka she had the boxes and everything out. She placed everything in place. She hung her cloths in a closet, placed her underwear in draw.

Sasuke meat Itachi where he left him.

"I must leave, I am sorry to leave after bringer her."

"Don't worry, I understand. I'll take care of her, sasuke." He paused and smiled. "It wouldn't be good if you were missing with her. Plus I guess you have work to finish and try to earn money for her. " sasuke nodded his head and left.

It has been a week since sasuke has seen Hinata, but she was with the best... His brother. He made good money. He noticed he was being fallowed, all around the village. It didn't bother him, he wasn't going anywhere.

It has been a week since Gaara seen Hinata. He when to search for her but it was pointless, her employer told him she hadn't showed for work. He overheard Baki talking to Saya in his office she hasn't gone to work and her stuff was missing. He understood what she was implying. He summand his brother to his office.

"Hey Gaara" Kankuro walked into his brothers office, to find him reading and singing scroll while tapping on his pen on the desk. "What up you seem tense?"

He gave his brother a deathly glance. "She has gone missing. I heard her stuff was gone from her place, she hasn't gone to work"

Kankuro was annoyed and worried. He knew that she was pregnant, and it look like she wasn't going anywhere in a while. Everything was there for her baby. "What if she went back home, you know to her father and sister and her cousin?"

That little comment put gaara at rest a bit. But he still couldn't believe she was gone. Why did she leave everything was so called normal. He couldn't think of any reason, she could up and leave. his eyes wondered to his paper work "Thank you Kankuro, I have a mission for you, just you…. since I know how you dislike working with people. Go to Konoha and locate Hinata"

He understood gaara losing her. He was losing his niece or nephew, and his brother was losing his love of his life and more. "As you wish Gaara." Kankuro left as soon as possible. Before leavening the village he met with the last person he wanted to see. "Hey, have you seen Hinata? I know you know, she is always with you."

Sasuke didn't want to see Gaara or his family, they discussed him. The way they acted the way they treated hinata. "No, last time I saw her was last week. I have been to busy with work to stop by her place. Have you stopped by? "

"No, But we over heard her stuff is gone and she hasn't been at work."

"I was hoping you, I didn't have to tell you but after you left we got into a fight. She said that she didn't want to see me, and ever since then I didn't want to stop by because … I'm worried on what will happen if I disobey, her pregnancy self. " and he thought to himself "Shit, I so did not want to go to Konoha... Looking for her. "

Sasuke had to go with Kankuro to Konoha to tell her father she was alright and they would soon see each other. "Hold up, Im going too." They walked in silence to Konoha. Both hated one another but promised hinata they would stand each other. Once they reached Konoha. They broke off sasuke would look for her at her parents and Kankuro at the training field. Sasuke was quick on his toes and made it to her compound in no time. He knocked at the door, to see neji to open it.

"Sasuke, what brings you here?"

"I need to talk to your father, cousin and you… right away!"Neji lead sasuke into a room, in no time the people he want to talk to you was in front of him. "Sir" He addressed Haishi "Lady" he addressed hanabi "neji" he paused "Kankuro will arrive shortly; I want to talk about hinata"

"What happen to my daughter? What of her child?"

"Sir, hinata is safe. I am keeping her safe. Her she is going to have twins, and their healthy. " he paused to get back on track "You see sir, She wanted to leave Suna and hide a little. She wanted to be away from him and his family. So I took it upon myself to hide her away. When Kankuro come he will address hinata as missing. We will talk to the hokage. But for your information she isn't missing…. She will come after the search dies down, it's a secret" The family looked at sasuke he has become a weird man, but helpful. With that they sat in silence until they heard a knock. It wasn't a surprised to see the man, since sasuke told them. "Kankuro, I informed them of hinata. Did you find her at the field?"

Haishi understood what he had to do "Find my daughter" he paused and looked upon to Sasuke "when she is found, I want her to come back to this house… I would want you looking after my little girl, Sasuke"

"Sir?" Neji, Sasuke, Kankuro said in sync. They gave the same blank look.

"Will you marry my daughter?" he knew that sasuke was the best choose. He could perfect his daughter, and she would be happy.

Sasuke nodded, and smirked. "I will, once I find her." this wasn't the plain to come and ask her hand behind her back but it worked to his advantage. "And bring her back to you." Kankuro and sasuke left to the Hokage's tower.

Kankuro couldn't believe this, Hinata's suppose to be friend was asked by her father to marry her. What would become of her child, what would become of his little brother. They entered the big office. Before them was a hard working Naruto. Each time they would see Naruto, it was still a surprised he became the hokage. It was enough that he was known for: being the Show-Off, Number One Unpredictable ,Noisy Ninja, Number One Hyperactive, Knucklehead Ninja, Child of the Prophecy , Savior of this World, Konoha's Orange Hokage and on top of all that he was Illiterate. Next to him sat his wife, Sakura (a little before Naruto learned to control the nine tales, he and sakura got married in front of some kages)

"Oi, Sasuke, Kankuro. What brings you here?"

"Idiot, we came because Hinata's missing."

His eyes where wide. "What? She's missing? Since when" then a fits hit his skull.

"Naruto, dear" sakura sounded soft and caring then it turned curl. "Put yourself together." She looked onto sasuke "You know sasuke, If Naruto keeps acting like this maybe me and you should get together" she winked "If you know what I mean"

Kankuro was outrage how they could sit their worried, sad, knocked out, and flirting "This is not the time sakura. Hinata"

Sasuke glanced at Kankuro and back to sakura "Yes, we need to find my fiancé" Naruto quickly recover and like sakura his mouth was wide open. "We need your help. After you assemble a team to find her" he paused "then I'll tell you." Naruto quickly summoned Shino, Kiba, and neji the three best trackers. Within twenty minutes the three left with kankuro. "Like I promised" he paused to get their attention "Hinata's father asked me to find her, bring her back and she's all mine"

Naruto couldn't stand seeing his other brother breaking down at the news of his love and his other brother marring. "Sasuke, I disapprove what you're doing. She is already engaged to Gaara. "

His eyes narrowed "Gaara, the one who broke her heart. He chose to leave hinata, in marrying Matsuri he denounce her. She needs better. Don't dare take Gaara's side." He wanted to bite off his head f "blame him, He was the one to love her and leave her easily for a child he didn't want from another, Gaara who woke up with another girl next to him when he was engaged to Hinata, He married Matsuri without anyone pointing a weapon to his neck. He didn't think of her then why now? And from what Hinata told me, before she disappeared she told me it was a Romeo and Juliet, that they could not together."

"Sasuke, don't talk to my husband like that." She paused to think of what he just said. "How do you know all this?"

"Sakura that was my line." Naruto was bugging sakura then went back to the conversation. "How do you know this Sasuke?"

Sasuke was pissed off didn't he just say 'from what she told him!' "Hinata talks to me. She loves gaara but told me here and there of hits she want to move on from her torment .I have followed the storyline and She has every right to marry someone, just like gaara did. That's why I have to bring her back; I want her to be happy with forever."

Sasuke went back to Suna only go get his stuff and move back to his village.

Hinata was happy being here at the hide out. She had Itachi and some cats fetch food. She was playing house wife she cleaned bathrooms, the big kitchen, and some rooms. It was her thank you to the brothers that took her in. After Itachi got back he was happy there was some who cooked. She wasn't shy anymore, she would have a new life with her children. The way she looked remained of him of his mother. "You shouldn't be cleaning, you have your health and your children to look after." Itachi reminded her of Neji, Strong but a bother.

They days passed fast, only because Itachi would tell her of the past of their family and other stuff. She loved the stories he would tell. he even told jokes from back in the day. "Hey hinata, what to hear a joke….one of my partner of ambu told me once before"

"Sure! I love your jokes their simple, hard, and weird" she laughed

"Okay so. The ninja and a hokage wake into a bar, and the ninja orders a 3 shots. While the kage orders a beer. The ninja tells the kage "I thought we came here to drink" and the kage replies "I am drinking cant you see this beer" the ninja wanted him to drink so he said "what are you chicken...to get drunk? "The ninja makes chicken sounds. Soon that got under the kages skin he ordered 5 shots and 2 sake. Within a minute the kage finish his drinks, but yet the ninja makes chicken sounds. The kage got mad "Hey your suppose to stop after I did the dare" the ninja was having too much fun and continued and said to the kage "Im the chicken" with outthinking the kages said "Im the chicken" and the ninja fell back laughing. "

Hinata was laughing, "What kind of a kage, does that."

"A dunk one" Itachi held his sides from laughter.

Then hinata stopped laughing "I got a joke for you" Itachi nodded his head for her to continue "
"How many ninjas does it take to take to change a light bulb?"

Itachi looked at hinata like she was crazy "One"

Hinata smiled "No one know. As soon as the light comes on, they all scatter" she laughed hard at her own joke. Itachi just laughed at hinata it was weird laughing at her own joke.

Being there was fun, she loved spending time with Itachi he was like a bigger brother or a loving cousin, better than Neji. Yet she missed Suna and her family their… she even missed her red head love. And on the other side she missed her father, Hanabi, Neji , Her team and Sasuke. After a week passed Sasuke came but he used a different entrance. Hinata was happy to see him. he held out his hand for her to take it without think she ignored his hand and hugged him he stepped into her room with her.

"How was it here with my brother, was he normal" implying to word normal. "did he treat you good."

She smile at him, she was happy to see him "He was normal, he talked to me, laughed, cracked jokes, told me stories and he knew not to intrude on me cooking or cleaning"

That normal Hinata spoke of was His really self not the descent one. Itachi was a dumb ass, idiot, cracking jokes that aren't that funny "He should have cooked with you, and as for you cleaning… your pregnant you can't clean as you please"

Hinata understood he was upset with her but she changed the subject "so how was everything?"

"What THE?!"Sasuke couldn't believe her she changed the subject he but it was for the best "About that when I went back to suna, the kazekage found out you where missing, and sent kankuro to find you. While kankuro was looking for at the training grounds I ran to your father and told him the plain and keep quiet about it." he paused "it seems your father has taken a liking to me."Hinata was confused, and tilted her head. "He asked me as soon I bring you back that we marry" Hinata was stunned and couldn't get anything out. "And Kankuro went back to suna after telling Naruto" he looked out the window "I am going to ask my brother to use one of his crows to turn into you and I can sneak you out from under the village."

The next morning Hinata was packed like she was like when she left Suna. She and walked a hallway with Itachi. One of his crows took the image of hinata and ran walked around the village to get people to notice her. When they reached the end they were in the Uchiha's compound, sasuke waited to take Hinata's hand while Itachi returned to the hid out. Like sasuke plain it was going good, they left the father compound. it was easy to get to the compound. When they enter she was greeted by her family.

After talking to her family and setting up her new bed room. it looked like her old one but it had another door leading to another room, her new babies room. she laid down on her bed, she was home. it wasn't long when Hanabi and neji came to the door knocking. "come in" the two entered the room. she smiled at her brother slash brother and Hanabi her sister.

"Hinata, we came to talk to you about your future."

Hinata let her smiling face fall and a serious one came to light. "Do you mean about Sasuke-kun?"

"Yes" hanabi said while neji nodded "we think you should marry him"

"what for? For father?"

"Hinata, dear cousin I say this for your own good and because we love you" He paused "You should marry him, He is willing to help you raise your children." His tone was showed he was pissed "he offers after he knew the state you where in with kazekage-sama" he closed his eyes and closed his fist. "He is married and live a good live with hi child, why can't you?"

Hinata understood her cousin "Gaara loves me. He after his child born" then she thought about it, her eyes shifted to the floor "Your right, he will be happy with his family even if her doesn't love his wife"

Hanabi was happy to see her sister eye how all saw gaara after the story. "And due time, you'll be happy. From what I can see is that he put his heart down for you." she paused "Its only fair why can he be happy with a family when you are like this and the only thing that brings light into your eyes is your children"

"Hanabi is right. Hinata it is only right, it's like the book I read when I was young Romeo and Juliet …both loved each other but it didn't work out"

"Hinata! with Sasuke you'll be a Romeo and Cinderella"

Hinata was intrigued by what her sister said "Ummm… Hanabi I don't think Cinderella was in Romeo and Juliet. I think your making up things"

Hanabi smiled "I am… you can live as Romeo and Juliet, story but with a happy ending like Cinderella"

Hinata liked the sound in it, a chance to live love once more. One that will not fail, and have a cost in it like it had been with Gaara. Plus she like sasuke a friend, and he was close to her babies. "As of this moment I say good bye to gaara, your lies, your kisses, your love, you're everything. I denouncement Gaara. I will try to live happy without him with my friend and my twins." She looked happy "tell father and sasuke to meet me in the living room"
