When I started this fic, I had no idea it would gain so many reviews .I was just writing it for fun. I am thankful to you all. Even if I am not going to be updating anymore feel free to still review. Maybe someday I will update again.
But until then......

You guys make my day with your reviews and pm's. So, ignore the above message because it's just a joke. Now on to the actual chapter. Don't forget to R&R. A cookie to say I'm sorry
Chapter 25: You Don't Deserve Me
Minato's POV:
I was just raising my hand to knock on the door when it suddenly opened.
I looked down.
Blue eyes met green.
It was Kushina.
She was looking up at me with huge eyes as if she was screaming for me to go away.
There was only one question in her eyes even though she didn't say it out-loud:
'What the hell are you doing here?'
She was opening her mouth to speak when Hizashi rudely approached us and grabbed Kushina's arm roughly,spinning her around to face him.
This shocked me.
I didn't know what the hell was going on but I didn't like it one bit.
--
Hizashi proceeded to scream at Kushina while she was trying to push him away.
I guess he hadn't noticed my presence but I damn sure was about to make mine known.
I took a step forward preparing to intervene when Kushina finally reacted to the man.
Her face was as red as her fair but there were no tears on her face.
"I can't allow myself to be with a cheater" she kept screaming at him.
My eyes snapped up.
Suddenly she had my full attention.
Hizashi was still arguing with Kushina but there was guilt written all over his face.
'Bastard'
Now this was an interesting turn of events.
I was stilled by the surprise revelation.
Hizashi had cheated on Kushina?
'What the hell? Was he crazy?' I wondered.
As I stood in the doorway transfixed as the 'couple' kept yelling at each other, I began to have second thoughts.
'Maybe I should come back later.' I thought to myself.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a woman with violet and black hair standing slightly behind the couple. Her eyes were directed to the floor as guilt danced across her face. Just from looking at her, I could tell she was a Hyuga.
'So, this is the woman Hizashi cheated on Kushina with?' was my instant thought.
Considering the fact the Hizashi was a lowdown bastard, who prided himself on beauty when he was downright ugly:
For some reason, I was not surprised.
--
I was turning around to go back home when I heard it.
The sound of skin meeting skin.
It seemed like the room echoed the noise.
The feeling I felt was unreal.
I turned around and faced Kushina knowing I didn't just hear what I thought I heard.
Kushina stood there paralyzed with a hand over her right jaw.
There was a scratch on her face and blood was starting to ooze from her cheek.
Hizashi had slapped Kushina.
My Kushina?
Big mistake.
--
I let out a fierce growl startling the couple.
I guess they had forgotten I was standing there.
There was absolute displeasure in my eyes.
Hizashi, the asshole, didn't even have time to blink.
I was by his side in an instant.
It seemed like I was on autopilot, like I was floating above my body. I felt the presence of another human being; but I wasn't even thinking. It was like I was running on instinct considering the fact that now I had this man's throat in a firm choke hold. I picked him up and slammed him into the wall breaking his arms in the process.
The none too subtle snap was heard throughout the room.
I looked up at the now choking man.
He didn't deserve to live.
I gripped my fingers even tighter around his neck.
It would take only one move to end this coward's life.
No one in the room said a word.
Not Kushina.
Not the mysterious violet haired woman.
No one.
It seemed like they were holding their breath.
Hizashi was now struggling for his life but considering the fact I had broken his arms he couldn't really put up a struggle. The man was now turning a bluish color. Just from one glance at him, anyone could see that he was dying. My eyes had grown cold. I had no problem wanting to end this man's life. I was just about to do it when........
A sob broke the silence.
I looked over at Kushina. She was now crying.
"Minato, stop" she told me stepping forward clinging to my free hand.
There was absolute fear in her eyes.
I ignored her plea.
By Hizashi slapping Kushina, he had signed his own death note.
I mean, he did it with such grace too. Dotting all I's and crossing all T's.
This arrogant man didn't deserve to live let alone be with My Kushina.
He would never love her as much as I did.
Hell, I would give my life to protect Kushina.
I loved her more than life itself.
--
"Minato, please.....stop" Kushina said again this time in a small voice.
My eyes snapped back to her face. There were tears running down her face. Her skin was clammy and pale. Her once perfect lips were chapped and bleeding. Her red hair will still standing on end from our 'talk' earlier.
Inside my cold heart melted.
This time I didn't ignore her.
There was no longer any fear in her eyes but her expression radiated love.
'She didn't actually love Hizashi did she?' the irritating thought consumed my mind.
I turned back to the man and let him go.
I took a step back. I didn't trust myself enough not to try to kill him again.
He dropped to the ground and landed like a sack of potatoes.
Hizashi was now gulping for air like a fish out of water.
I glared at him.
Hizashi was immediately surrounded by the two women.
They were trying to help him up but when I took a step forward again.
They backed away from Hizashi leaving him alone in the midst of my rage.
Hizashi was on his knees staring up at me.
He was still trying to catch his breath. His eyes were as wide as saucers pleading for me not to kill him.
He was indeed a coward.
I stepped closer to the now shivering man.
The violet haired woman eyes widened in fear.
I cleared my throat.
I wanted to make sure this, asshole, I mean man heard me clearly.
--
"If......you....ever....touch...Kushina...like that again, I will kill you" I told the man quietly.
There was killing intent oozing off my body.
I wanted to let this man know I was dead serious.
I watched as the man nodded his head.
His pale eyes were huge.
A satisfied smile crossed my face.
Good.
I knew he would see things my way.
--
I turned away from the man. Hizashi was now on the floor passed out.
I guess my little speech scared him more than I thought.
Oh well.
I knew he was a bitch but geez...
I turned to Kushina.
She was now on the floor next to the unknown woman trying to revive Hizashi.
Fear crept into my heart again.
'Did she love Hizashi?' I wondered for the millionth time.
Her eyes connected with mine.
One soul connected to another.
I sighed.
I was tired of this.
This entire situation.
I was sick of it.
All the lies, all the pain. All the back and forth.
I was simply tired of the drama.
I was normally a peaceful man.
I didn't believe in using violence unless it was necessary.
This situation was just more drama then what it was worth.
I needed to remove myself from the equation.
I was not going to let this situation cost me my sanity.
Let alone my dignity.
My reputation as Hokage.
There simply was too much at stake.
I knew what I had to be done but I had something I wanted to say...
To her...
--
"He doesn't deserve you" I told Kushina walking out of the front door.
She stared at me her mouth hanging open.
I stopped. My mind was made up.
I dropped the leaf headband to the floor.
It was hers.
I walked away not turning back.
As I walked away a sudden thought occurred to me.
It had been there all along.
The answer.
I simply was just too blind to see it.
Kushina had made her choice.
Maybe I had been the one to get it wrong.
Maybe the question wasn't whether or not I deserved her.
Maybe.....
Just Maybe....
'She didn't deserve me.'
What do you think? For those of you who are wondering...Yes, Hizashi got his ass kicked by Minato..originally this chapter was 8 pages long so I decided to condense it. There will be a second part to this chapter.
Don't worry this is a romantic fic so the romance will be back soon :-)
