Your thoughts are appreciated and welcomed, thank you to all who have enjoyed/review my story so far :DD

One week later, Hinata stood in the kitchen making a pot of soup for her boyfriend. As far as she could tell, ever since the fight, he'd closed himself off from her, not wanting to do things that normally came naturally. She had to start asking for things as simple as a hug when they use to be so frequent.

Kyuubi had told her though that he was going out for some painkillers and she heard the door open and close rapidly to signal his return. She ran out with a smile to greet him but by the time she reached the kitchen entrance he was nowhere in sight. Concerned, she walked towards the bathroom when she heard the door close. She knocked once, hesitantly and called her boyfriend's name, hoping that he would answer.

"Give me a few minutes, I'll be out in a bit!" was the hasty response and she sighed before returning to the kitchen, at least nothing was wrong so far.

Kyuubi felt like his heart was about to beat right out of his chest with anticipation. He stood looking at the small pregnancy contraption with trepidation. Would it be a positive or a negative?

God, he prayed it would turn out to be a negative, there's no way he wanted to carry Itachi Uchiha's child at all.

The white strip in the small piece of plastic barely started to change color and he felt a wave of cold sweat wash over him. He was suddenly perspiring lightly and he closed his eyes as the result started to get clearer, praying to whichever deity was willing to listen to make it a negative.

It was a positive.

The entire bathroom suddenly seemed to close in on him, suffocating and cramped. His eyes became fuzzy and heavy, as if not seeing the results would make it go away, make the truth disappear. He's never felt so scared in his life. He's fucking pregnant and for that bastard Itachi!

He swore on his mother's grave he's going to kill him.

The anger, the hurt, the fear…they all came crashing down on him at once and he felt like pulling his hair out! Breathing heavily, he opened the bathroom door with trembling fingers, trying hard to compose himself for Hinata's sake.

What would she do if she found out about his condition? Would she stay and support him or would she go?

"Kyuubi?"

It was Hinata's voice, startling him and he suddenly turned around to look at her. "Hinata…."

"Kyuubi! Oh my god what's wrong?"

She hurried over and placed the back of her hand on his neck. "You're burning up."

"No, I'm fine…" he tried to reassure as she fussed over him.

"You look way too sickly, I'm taking you to the Doctor….."

"NO!" Kyuubi shouted, startling her after he shook her off almost violently.

They both gasped in tandem; Kyuubi after realizing what he'd done and Hinata at what he did.

Confused, she held her hands to her chest and stuttered an apology.

Kyuubi pulled and held her to his chest softly. "No, I'm sorry…" he pulled back so he could look into her wide violet eyes. "… I just need some rest, ok?"

She nodded in acquiescence, watching as he turned around and walked away. "Ok."

What's going on with him? She wondered if she did something wrong.

Sighing heavily, she walked back to the kitchen, having all intention to finish the soup she started when her cell phone started to ring in her pocket. Taking it out, she look at the led display but realized she didn't know the number blinking there. Fearing it might be about her parents, she answered anyway….

***********************SaSuNarU**********************

Kyuubi had turned back after reaching the bedroom door, deciding to go to the kitchen for a drink before going back. It wasn't because he wanted to check up on Hinata, not at all.

Or so he told himself.

He rounded the corner and what he saw had him blinking in confusion and worry; his girlfriend eyes were wide with disbelief and she seemed frozen to the spot with her phone held loosely by her ear.

"Hinata…?"

She gasped loudly at the sound of his voice before looking at him and he walked over to her, but she took a step back.

She looked like a deer caught in a pair of headlights. He reached a hand out in worry. "Hinata, what's the matter?"

The phone slipped to the ground, shelling out into individual pieces and she jumped at the noise with her eyes blinking rapidly.

"Kyuubi, is it true?" she asked in a broken voice and he had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. What had she heard?

"Is what true?" he asked gently.

"You're pre….pregnant?" she asked hesitantly.

The air around him suddenly seemed thick and he felt like he couldn't breath, Kyuubi closed his eyes and drew a breath in worry. "Who told you that?"

Hinata held her head down, causing some of her hair to cover her eyes. "H…he says he looks forward to starting a f…family with you and he hopes you're taking care of his baby inside you."

Kyuubi's eyes widened, did Itachi really call Hinata and say that? "What the fuck….?"

Hinata scraped up the pieces of her phone and made to run past Kyuubi, but he held her tightly around the waist while she struggled to get away.

"Hinata, let me explain!"

"How could you?" the woman asked with tears in her eyes while she flailed her arms in an effort to hit him.

"It's not what you think," Kyuubi tried to tell her.

Hinata managed to give him a hard push to the chest, causing him to let her go and she backed away, looking at him with all the hurt she felt on her face. "Not what I think, so you aren't pregnant?"

There was a glimmer of hope in her violet eyes and it hurt so much to tell the truth. He wish he could have lied but it would only hurt more in the end.

"I am…pregnant," the redhead answered dejectedly.

Hinata looked away, wiping her eyes harshly when the tears started to flow harder. "So all this time you were pulling away from me, you were having an affair and got yourself pregnant…?"

Kyuubi never did tell her he could get pregnant, but based on the fact Naruto could it didn't come as a surprise.

"Hinata, I wasn't having an affair," Kyuubi sighed. This was all spinning out of control; that son of a bitch kept ruining his life!.

"Then what…?" she shouted, this was too much. She wanted to have a baby for him, but instead he was pregnant for somebody else.

Can he tell her he was raped? Judging from her reaction would she believe him? If he told her the truth she would ask question for which he couldn't give an answer, like who did it. "I just wasn't having an affair, ok?"

Hinata sniffled haughtily. "Fine, you'll now have that happy family you supposedly wanted that I knew nothing about, so I'll leave you to it then."

Kyuubi shook his head in disregard. He wanted to say something, anything but now Itachi had gotten her involved, and maybe her leaving would keep her safe; he wouldn't put it past the bastard to try and harm her just to get to him.

Kyuubi turned his back to her, "Do what you want, I wasn't cheating though."

The tears welled up in Hinata's eyes even more. Maybe it was the fact that he didn't seem even slightly remorseful or the way he said that last sentence as if it was nothing.

"You heartless bastard!" she screamed before running out the door and slamming it shut.

Kyuubi looked at the door blankly after she left, "I hope you can forgive me, Hinata."

He shakily walked to the bedroom and decided to lie down, he felt too drained and fatigued to really put any deep thought into anything right now, especially his next step as to how to get rid of this baby.
