Chapter 35
Both ninjas started at the other. They were alone in Hinata's apartment, in the middle of the night. The only sound of the whole room was the sound of the boiling water in the kitchen, at ere steps from her. While none of them said a thing…a valid question was running in her mind for a million miles per hour.
How did he know where she lived?
Then she remembered about the boiling tea pot and walked pass him and started to work on the kitchen. Sasuke watched her pass him by, but didn't move. He decided to take a look around of the apartment.
The decoration was simple, nothing that he expected to be. She had weapons showing somewhere, but not as wild as he though it would be. He sincerely expected a torture room, but it was a common living room after all. The only thing that he found strange was the fact that there weren't pictures. She had some paintings, most of them black and white that were used as decoration. But pictures of her team…or something like that weren't visible, at least for him.
Why she didn't have them around?
Then he remembered that she is the ANBU captain. Like the Hokage she must get threats all the time, especially the rebellious group that is against her. But his thoughts were forgotten when Hinata put on the table two cups of tea. Without looking at him she sat on a stool on the opposite side of the table and started to drink her cup.
Slowly the Uchiha did the same, looking at the fresh made green tea. She is not capable of poisoning him, right?
Taking his thoughts aside, he tasted the light green liquid.
Taking a sip he takes his time savoring it. He expected something on it…not that he distrust her, but a ninja is always prepared. After all, he entered into her private space without permission.
And he had to admit it…
It tasted good.
While taking another sip, he looked at the captain. She was still taking her time with eyes closed with her tea. She knows that he was looking at her, but what else she can do? There's nothing else to see, or maybe he was looking for something…
Who knows…
Seeing that she was just enjoying her cup, he looked around again. He noticed that there weren't colors at all on her apartment. Everything was neutral or dark; even the curtains were closed, like she didn't want the light to come in. The only things that got his attention were the huge radio and the large CD tower; it seems that she enjoys the music more than he expected something not common in Konoha.
She is proving that she is not common all right.
The sound of the cup on the table get his attention back to her, Hinata was looking at nothing in particular. Both ninjas stood silent in the table looking at nothing in particular. Then Sasuke decided to get a better look of her.
Her breathing was deep but passive, meaning that she is not tired. By the look of her clothes and her sweaty body, she must have long day training, reminding him that he was in the same state.
It didn't blame her for being too busy to notice that he was following her. Actually, he had a suspicious about where she lived since she was always early around the town, almost taking the same path every morning. That was the way that he knew how to avoid her, seeing her everyday was something unhealthy for him. But now he wanted to.
He just remembered his first session with Ayaka…
Uchiha Sasuke is a pain, literally a pain. He came to Ayaka's office to get help, but he wasn't giving information. How can a doctor help if he doesn't give what it needs? This was a give/give situation, and he didn't seem to catch it.
It was good that Ayaka was good into working even with the minimum details after all. Her husband, teammates and Hinata as the boss/captain was enough experience to help her through situations like this.
"Sasuke, did you love her?"
Sasuke looked back at her, "What kind of question is that?"
"It has more value than you can think." Responds Ayaka, "Without more details, I can see that maybe that the girl thinks that you just want her as a sex fiend. And not knowing the circumstances that caused you in the first encounter to end up sleeping together, it seems that she accepted what happened in that moment. Maybe she was having low self-esteem for something happening with her like depression. Or she was trying to see why you would be after her and no others. Since when you found out that you love her?"
The Uchiha went silent; t will be easier if he tell her the truth. No, that wasn't a good idea, and he had more than three reasons:
Saito…
Hiro…
Yuki…
Kiba and the rest…
He understands that he must cooperate if he wanted an answer for his problem, but is hard for a cold-hearted bastard like him to admit such a thing. He spent all this years trying to forget that feeling! But it only took one look at her through the distance to prove that even the powerful last Uchiha can't escape from that feeling.
The same feeling that made Orochimaru what he became. That turned Itachi insane.
He breathed deeply; it was the first time that he'll admit it to someone.
"Since the Academy…and it became stronger over the years. I don't want anyone but her."
"Then you have to prove her that the feeling is real. That this is not just to the urges of the body…that is a need of the soul. I can't guarantee anything else." Responded the doctor while finishing her notes and giving him another appointment.
That was why he was there, to prove a point. But now that he was there and that she hadn't kicked him out yet, made him more confused. Is she accepting him, or she is doesn't care really if he comes or goes?
Then, no matter how he tried to delay it, he finished his cup. And it seemed that Hinata made her cup last too, since both were drinking it too slow, like they wanted the moment to last. Then she slowly stood up, picking their cups and went to the kitchen.
After placing the cups on the sink, she passed him and went to a room, closing the door behind her. Seconds later, the sound of the water running could be heard all over the place. Sasuke looked around again, seeing that she had some scrolls on the low table of the living room.
Maybe is work that she brought home.
Thinking that maybe she had a very long day, he decided to retire, promising himself to return…
Jumping through the roof of the village, he started to smirk to himself. He made it; he stood on the same room as Hinata for an hour with anything wrong happening. He knew that he at least should say a thing, maybe she was expecting it.
After all, he was the one who got in without permission.
But if she offered him a cup of tea for courtesy, he can take it as a great step. He knows that will take time to make her see the true…maybe she'll stop slowly to hate him so much. Maybe they can talk about it someday.
He was gone for three years. He can wait for her more than that.
Hinata went out of the bathroom several minutes later; she was crazy to get rid of today's workout. When she checked out, he was gone. And nothing was taken or revised, it impressed her.
They stood almost an hour without saying a thing, not a word. She never though that such thing was possible. At the moment she saw him on the kitchen, she wanted to scream at him, she wanted to curse him for following her, but when she looked at him so calmed, maybe that calm went contagious.
She offered her a cup of tea, which was a lot better than the one he offered her that night.
That night…
Now remembering that made her feel weak, pointless.
The only time that she cried in front of someone was with Itachi when the Third was gone.
Itachi…
Is been days, maybe weeks, since she was forced to see the truth about what was happening. And even the thing that she didn't have clear was why HE saved her.
The Uchiha traitor…
Everything that happened between them went so fast…and so out of control that she doesn't know what to think at the moment. But she didn't have time for that, there are scrolls waiting for her to read.
And this became a new routine for the two.
Every night he came to the apartment and wait until Hinata was back. She finally reaches home and sets up water on the tea pot. He sits back on the stool while she preares everything. Then she serves the tea and both drink it silently…then both finishes and he leaves, while she washes the cups and retires to take a bath, read some scrolls and then back to sleep.
And last night when she came back, Sasuke was putting water on the tea pot and prepare the water.
If she wasn't living what was happening every night, she would have laughed by it. And lately she felt like rushing to get back from the training grounds or the office for the 'tea time'. Something that she started to see as meaningless, her mind started to take importance, like part of her daily routine.
But still, either of them could stand the other's presence in public.
What does this mean?
Last night was the night number 15 of this new thing…and either said a word yet. But she had to stop thinking about it; she is right now with three young pregnant women on their nine month state…shopping.
Hinata's official torture…
Over the years, her feminine tastes became no priority in her life. She never minded to wear those horrible huge jackets…as long as they not get in the way of the fight, everything was ok. But since Team Zero was formed, little by little she started to form bonds also with their wives. So sometimes, while the men take care of all the children, they drag Hinata to make some 'normal woman' activity.
At first Mika was a little jealous, thinking that the captain wanted to stole her lovely Saito. But as soon as she saw why they were so close to another….she decided to see her as another daughter. They already have three males, but someone can dream sometimes.
Tomoyo and Ayaka liked her since the first moment. Ayaka have heard about her almost all her career, and now seeing that she wasn't like behind the curtains the councils and some of the ANBU mentioned, she gave her support immediately.
Tomoyo looked like a nice gentle woman at first sight, but she is really a fierce ninja like any other and seeing in Hinata that temple out without worries, made her admire her and support her over Yuki…when it comes to ANBU affairs of course. And she has six sons to prove that.
Looking throught the store, Hinata cringed when Tomoyo playfully with her huge belly came suddenly with a white and purple kimono. Ayaka and Mika nodded by the choice and asked her to try it.
She refused.
Then Mika, who's character and mean ways are so alike Saito's looked through the store and found something. She smiled evily at Hinata while walking back. Hinata felt a chill in her spine thinking what was next. "Well, you have two choices Hinata. you can try what Tomoyo-chan showed you…or this." Then she shows her choice to make the rest see. Hinata's eyes opened wide while Ayaka applaud and Tomoyo put out from her bag a camera. "Oh Hinata-sama, you're going to look so cute with that…!"
"I'm not going to put that on."
"Come on, I bet that you look cute with this…"
"I'll look like a Sailormoon character. Like Sailor Mercury or Sailor Mars." Looks away the captain, while thinks on a way to escape from this.
"Then it will be great for Halloween, or cosplay!" exclaimed Ayaka, while Hinata looked at her like she lost her mind. You're supposed to be the sane of the three… thinks the captain. "I won't, because Halloween is on October…and we are in May. And second, there's no cosplay festival in Konoha…"
"Maybe on the next mission will be held on the rain country…and they have lots of cosplay festivals there…" responds Tomoyo, while making tests to the camera. "And besides," continues the cheerful mother, "Is back luck to deny something to a pregnant woman. And we are three."
Hinata looked at them; they are so childish when they are like this. "I don't believe in that…"
"No? then next week you'll baby sit all the kids at the same time…what do you say?" asks Mika, then the other two stood in front of Hinata with their arms crossed. They know they won.
Hinata though for a second: they are talking about Saito's kids that were three. Hiro has four and Yuki has six...making a total of…13?!
Hinata sights loudly; "Just take the photo with flash to make sure that is well taken."
"YAY!"
Sasuke is right now walking through the streets of the village, but his mind was elsewhere. He has been thinking about his situation with Hinata too. It was true that it was slowly becoming a routine, but he started to enjoy it more.
At first he only stood on the stool and wait for her. Now he came a little earlier, when he found a way to call it quits with team seven. It gave him opportunity to take a better look at her place, looking around makes you know how the person is like.
Looking around, he noticed that she had some weapons on the walls. All of them clean and in perfect order. Her place is always clean and neat, except for the scrolls that sometimes are all messy around the living room. Maybe she is a work-alcoholic.
He decided to take a look at her CD tower. Most of the songs on them were to dance…and from Ryuichi and Shuichi. It seems that they were important performers after all. That's why she knew every song at the concert…
He took a look at the kitchen, to see what she likes to eat. He wasn't surprised to see that he didn't have much on it, she is a busy woman. On her fridge was loaded with mostly liquids and fruits. A very healthy lifestyle.
He usually waited for her to come and prepare everything, but last night he decided to do something. He came every night and do nothing, so he heated the water while she was in her way back. Her surprised look when she found out was priceless. Although she didn't say a thing, she looked more relaxed when she saw it.
And that was what it was worrying him….they hadn't spoken at all.
He could blame himself for that one, he was the one who started the contact, he must be the one who should be doing the first conversation. But how he can say a thing without messing everything at the same time? he can ask that to Ayaka at the next appointment, but by then she can end up feed up with his visits.
Then he promised next time to give something, she was being beyond polite allowing him to come like that every night just to drink tea. Then his thoughts were interrupted when someone called him.
"Sasuke-kun?" He looked beside him to see pink hair and blue eyes. He almost forgot.
Naruto was with Jiraya and Kakashi was helping Kurenai and Gai with something. He was left alone for the rest of the day with Sakura. He didn't responded, he was ok thinking about other things when he was brought back to reality.
"I forgot that you must pay a visit to the hospital for a scheduled revision, let's go." Then he resumed to follow her, while Sakura started to talk about random things like the weather or what was going on with the rest of the 'rookie nine'.
But he didn't pay attention to her, because he noticed something.
He hadn't see any sign of Hinata all day...where she can be?
Sasuke and Sakura made it to the hospital's reception and asked for the appointment when the hospital doors slammed open.
"I HAVE A HUGE EMERGENCY HERE! MOVE YOUR ASSES NOW!"
Turning around, they saw the captain of the ANBU trying to walk in with three women holding on her. hinata was wearing an ultra-short red and white sailor suit while trying her best to keep balance with Tomoyo, Ayaka and Mika holding on her in a death grip and screaming in pain.
Sasuke just stood and watched…her face wasn't one pleased.
Then nurses rushed towards the captain and tried their best to take the women, but it was difficult to deal with.
"Where is Yuki?"
"Had someone told my Hiro-kun about this?"
"WHERE'S THAT ASSHOLE OF SAITO SO I CAN RIN HIS BALLS OUT?!"
The nurses tried to get the three women in labor out if Hinata, but seeing the situation she walked inside of the hospital with difficulty. If she managed to get them to the door, she can take them to the labor room too.
Then the hospital doors slammed open again showing Hiro, Saito and Yuki rushing to their wives. Hinata sent them crows with the emergency code, and since she was with the girls out…it was too obvious.
Taking care of them, the ANBU ninjas took their mates to the rolling beds to send them to the labor room.
"Yuki you made it dear…" smiled Tomoyo while Yuki held her hand and kissed her forehead. "You know that I'll never miss this…ok?"
"Hiro-kun, about time…" Hiro took her hand trembling, "I know, I know…but I'm here…"
"You freaking asshole…after this I'm going to rip your balls and stuck them in your as-" then Saito smirked at her, "For someone who enjoy what those balls do to her, you can't complain much about it." "…I hate you." "And I love you too babe, let's go."
Then the three couples moved towards the labor room, while Hinata fixed a little her sailor suit and walked towards the check-in desk. "Where's the director of the Hospital? I want the best doctors attending those three."
"I'm here miss, can I help you?" an average-age man in his white coat was standing in front of her. with thick glasses that made him look a little older, maybe to look mature.
"As I was saying, I want the best doctors to attend the labor of those three." ordered the captain with her arms crossed.
"I can't guarantee that, but let me see what can I do…"
"WHAT?!"
Suddenly everything went complete silence. The three couples who were in direction to the laboring room stopped in their tracks and looked back at the Hospital's director.
During all this time Sasuke and Sakura were looking at the entire show. Then Sasuke looked at where the women who were screaming because they were going to give birth had their eyes black. He felt chills all over him.
Suddenly, Yuki looks down at where his wife's hands were and opened his eyes wide. Tomoyo suddenly clenched her fists, turning on his panic button. "Tomoyo…don't."
"Step aside."
"Tomoyo-chan…"
"I just want to talk to him…"
"Tomoyo don't move!"
"Let's kill him…" said suddenly Mika, while Saito started to puts out his sword. Hiro's eyes turned into fire, while Ayaka opened a blank scroll and started to write…
"What…did…you…said…?"
Then everyone stopped doing what they were doing and looked at the source of that voice came from. And now Team Zero was deadly worried.
It was Hinata.
"That…I can't guarantee to have the best doctors for them, but…"
And before the director could say anything else his back crashed on the top of the reception's desk. "Are you willing to loose your freaking dick today, son of a bitch, huh?" says the captain while increasing her pressure on the doctor's throat.
Sasuke looked at the scene completely shocked while Sakura and some employees of the hospital tried to pull back the captain. After tryin helpessly to move her out, a man took them aside and managed to take her out.
"Hinata let him go!" says Tatsuha while grabbing Hinata by her waist and pushing her suddenly from her grasp.
"Let me go Tatsuha, right now." Said Hinata with a low tone that even got worried the monk. Letting her go slowly, she grabs the doctor's collar with one hand, forcing him to look at her.
"Never tell such a thing to the ANBU captain you freaking low-class. Now, you have FIVE minutes to get what I asked for my soldiers…or I'll make my crows to eat all your relatives balls for the rest of the eternity…got it?" then she leaves him, making him fall on the floor. Taking back his breath, he looks up at the woman.
Is she really the ANBU captain?
"You still have 4:53, you should keep moving."
Then the director gulped hard…and started to make calls.
Brushing her hair back, she looks at her teammates, nodding as a sign to go on. Ayaka and the others nod, moving to the labor room. Then she looks back at Tatsuha, who had a 'WTF' face.
"What?" she asked simply.
"Are you asking that to me? We are at the hospital Hinata for Kami's sake! You threatened the director of the hospital. I can expect that from Saito….but you…"
"I did what I did because I wanted them to have the best treatment. And you sound like I killed him, the bastard is pretty alive."
"He'll tell the Hokage."
"So?"
"…forget it."
Then, while calming down, she suddenly asked. "And where are the brats?"
Then the hospital doors open again, entering a group of 13 little kids to the reception.
"SENSEI!" screamed all the kids at the same time, making Hinata rub her temple…great.
"Where's mommy?"
"Dad ran away in such rush that we almost missed him."
"Why you are at the hospital?"
"Sensei, did you just said a mean word just now?"
"Calm down." Responds Hinata, making all the kids shut up and look at her intently. Sighting loudly, she started to speak. "Your mommies are right now giving birth to a baby brother or sister. And while they are on it, we all go to the waiting room and…wait for them…ok?"
All the kids nodded in understanding and followed Hinata to the waiting room along with uncle Tatsuha. Sasuke looked at the scene in awe, Hinata was made to lead somehow, if she can deal with so many children, he can't imagine leading the whole ANBU group.
Sakura looked at the kids worried; they are going to be under that woman's watch. Tatsuha seemed to have some sense, but she just lost her mind attacking the hospital's director. And no one said a thing about it.
Then Hinata went out of the waiting room and looked around concerned. Then she found what she was looking and stood there, taping her foot. "Shinji-kun, there you are."
Then the Uchiha looked at her direction, and saw a little kid. He must be like two, maybe three years old kid with a kunai-printed pajamas and biting a panda plush. One if his hands were holding the plush toy in a death grip while the other was curling his semi-short light brown hair.
Hinata walked towards him and looked down at the kid. "I can't believe that your brothers didn't know where you were. Yuki would be mad is something happens to you. Come on." She says while she stands beside him and offers her index finger. The kid obediently stops curling his hair and with that hand he grabs her index finger with force.
Little Shinji walks beside her, and when he met Sasuke's eyes, he kept looking at him while walking to the waiting room, until they lost eye contact.
When that moment was gone, Sakura was still talking to the nurse. "Sasuke-kun, wait for me while I set everything for today's check up, ok?" and the ninja leaves, leaving the Uchiha alone on the place.
While Sasuke is still there waiting (he doesn't have anything else to do), he sees that Tatsuha is leaving the room.
"Don't worry, I'll tell the store manager about what happened and that you'll be back to pay the bill. But you really look like a Sailor scout. Keep it." with that the monk leaves the hospital, leaving Hinata alone with 13 children.
And Sasuke had nothing to do so.
Maybe wait in that room won't hurt at all.
When he entered, he expected some kind of scandal or anything since there were so many children on the same room. when he got in, all of them were painting and drawing with crayons. While Hinata just sat on the sofa with her legs cross, like a real nanny.
He had to admit that she looked cute with that outfit.
Then, little Shinji stands up and shakes a little Hinata. when he got her attention, he speaks. "Sensei…potty…" says the kid with pleading eyes and holding his panda toy.
"Let's go. Kira, you're in charge." says the captain while a six year old waves his hand in the air as saying 'ok'. Walking out of the room to reach to the bathrooms, Hinata was making her way to the ladies when suddenly Shinji stopped. Sensing that he stopped moving, she looked back at him. "What is it?"
Then the little boy pointed at the door that had the 'men's' sign.
"Shinji, I can't go there."
The kid pointed at the door again.
"You have to be with another man to enter. And your father is busy right now."
Then Shinji's eyes went watery, making Hinata sight. Don't tell me he is going to cry for genre issues…
Then the little kid notices Sasuke leaning against the wall, not too far form the waiting room. Shinji runs towards him, making Hinata follow a two-year old kid.
Pulling down from his pants, Sasuke looks down to meet the honey-colored eyes of Shinji. "Potty…"
Raising an eyebrow, Sasuke looks up to meet with Hinata. but she only looks at the kid. "Don't be so problematic for genre issues Shinji…"
"I can take him to the bathroom, if is what you need." Suddenly Hinata looks up to meet Sasuke's eyes. "He must learn that not everything can be like he wishes. He is too spoiled."
"I think that he wants to be treated like a man, so let it be. Let's go kid." And with that, Shinji gives his hand to Sasuke and both get into the bathroom.
"Shinji, if something happens use what I taught you the other day." Says the captain.
"Okay…"says back the kid while entering to the bathroom.
After finishing his 'business', Shinji was lifted up so he can wash his hands. Sasuke, as an Uchiha had curiosity about whatever Hinata taught to the little kid. Maybe it was a personal defense technique…but what can be so useful that a two-year old brat can use against him.
His curiosity took the best of him.
Before exiting the bathroom, Sasuke stopped the kid "Hey Shinji." Then the little kid looked back at him. "Can you show me what Hinata taught you?"
Then the kid raised his eyebrow, like not understanding what he said. "What sensei taught me?"
"Yes, what sensei taught you. I would like to learn it too."
Then Shinji played with his fingers a little, "Are you sure? Sensei won't be mad?"
"Yeah, sure. Don't worry about it." then the kid saw it as an ok and stepped back from the Uchiha.
Sasuke expected everything from that kid…everything but this.
"HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP…!!!!!!!!"
Sasuke can swear that he felt the floor under him trembling. This two year old screamed so loud that can even beat Naruto and Kiba together…and that was too much. While his eardrums were beating hard on his head…he heard another sound…of a door slamming open.
"What happened?!" screamed Hinata while she looked at the two males. Sasuke was recovering little by little from the commotion while little Shinji run towards the captain. "He told me that it was right…sensei."
Then she just closed her eyes and breathed deeply, how troublesome.
"Shinji, just go to the waiting room with your brothers and I'll be back soon." Then the kid nodded and then looked at Sasuke with pity.
Maybe she was going to ground him.
After the kid left the bathroom, Hinata looked at the Uchiha. "I knew that you'll do that." Suddenly Sasuke recovered automatically after hearing that. "What did you said?" then Hinata just chuckled a little, "You really believe that I'll teach an useful technique to a two year old? Come on…I though that you were smarter than that."
"For someone who came running concerned about a kid…" trailed of Sasuke, making Hinata snort by his comment. "Those kids are the extension of my responsibility as team leader. If I make one mistake and loose any of my teammates, their wives and kids will suffer too, is called domino effect."
"You can be a great mother someday." Then she turned to face him, her eyes wide. Seconds after that she calmed. "Yeah, right."
"Is true, you have your mother instinct there. You just have to let it go." Responds Sasuke, while Hinata growls and leaves. But when she was about to open the door, he stops it. "Hey, there's nothing wrong having motherly feelings. You are a woman after all."
Then she tensed, she wanted to turn around and tell him back. But when he whispered so close to her neck, she felt her senses gone insane for a moment. She can't turn to look at him; she doesn't know what will happen next.
Sasuke noticed the tension, and her body reaction. He was getting into dangerous territory; it was too soon for it. It wasn't the time or the place to have this moments. He gets out his hand from the door and Hinata leaves immediately. Sasuke stood inside the bathroom…he didn't wanted to get out yet.
"I almost fucked everything..."
When Hinata was getting back to the waiting room, she saw Saito, Yuki and Hiro getting out of the labor room. She ran towards them, they were too silent and she feared the worst.
"What happened?"
The three ANBU looked at her…with HUGE bags under their eyes. She didn't understand it since they only have been in there for an hour.
"Can someone tell me what the FUCK happened in there?!" screamed again Hinata…only to be hugged by her three teammates. The three fathers started to scream in happiness while Hinata was turning purple…because they were hugging her too tight.
"It's a girl! It's a girl!" screamed in joy Hiro, and Hinata hugged him back congratulating him. then she turned to Saito…he only smirked. "It's a girl…" and she only smirked back at him.
Then they looked at Yuki, Tomoyo was expecting twins for the second time. but he looked like he won the lottery. "Yuki…what..?"
"2-1"
"…what?"
The blonde ANBU gulped, "…2-1…"
"Yuki, we don't get it…"
"Two boys…one girl…" then the rest of Team Zero started to process the information…then they screamed, "WHAT?!"
"They were triplets instead of twins, isn't that wonderful?!" then Hinata and the rest looking at him like he was crazy. And Tatsuha asked her why she didn't wanted to marry a Kinomoto.
"Poor Tomoyo…" muttered Saito.
"And now that we finally had a girl, we are going to close the fabric." Then Yuki's teammates started to congratulate him by his wise decision. After nine children…but still…
Then the three proud father dragged Hinata along with all the kids to the room where the three mothers were. They were all smiles while the nurses brought up the babies. Hinata looked from the door entrance, it was an intimate family moment after all. then Saito steps in front of her and pulls her in. "Come in Hinata."
"Saito, I can see from here…really."
"is not that silly, Mika has a request."
"Huh?" asked the captain when she was placed in front of a proud Mika holding her baby girl. "Hinata, come here please."
Hinata stepped forward, then Mika with the baby in her hands, offered it to the captain to hold. "Is not necessary to hold it, I can see it clearly."
"It won't break up that easy, come on." Ordered the mother, Hinata had no other choice but to hold it. After having the baby girl in her arms, Hinata looked at it with worry. When she was about to return it to Mika, she smiled. "Give her a name, and then give it back to me."
Hinata opened her eyes wide; she couldn't believe what she was asked to. "That's a personal decision for you two…"
"But we decided to give you that honor."
"You shouldn't…really."
"Just give a name Hinata."
Looking back at the baby, she remembered what Sasuke told her minutes ago:
"Is true, you have your mother instinct there. You just have to let it go."
"Take the baby back," responds the captain while trying to hand it to Saito, but he crossed his arms. "Don't make this to me." then the samurai looked at her worried.
"Hinata, what…?"
"Please, hold it back." Pleaded this time Hinata, "I'll give the baby a name, just hold her…please." When Mika saw the sorrow in Hinata's eyes, she understood and welcomed again the baby.
The rest looked at the scene impressed, why she was making such a fuss for holding a baby? Before turning around, Hinata said:
"If you agree, you can call the baby Tomoe. I think it suits for a samurai bloodline."
When she was leaving the room, Saito catches her. "Hinata, what happened back there?" hinata was making her best to not cry, "Saito, let me go. I have things to do…"
"Hinata…why did you make a fuss for the baby? There's something wrong?"
"Is not the baby Saito, is me." the ANBU looked at her with wide eyes. "What…?"
"Is just that I remembered…that monsters mustn't have children, that's all." and with that she leaves the hospital. Saito didn't do anything to stop her, he returned back to his family.
He'll talk to Ayaka about this later...
Hinata ran until she made it to the lake, sitting against of a tree. Looking at the landscape, tears falling from her cheeks and doing nothing to stop them. She can let her tears fall, there's nothing else to do.
"Hinata…" a calm voice called her.
In that moment, she didn't look back. She knows who he was.
"You have a bad custom to follow me. I should be mad about it." she responded, not minding that he sat beside her.
"I'm not a stalker, is just that I wasn't with the mood to have medical check today that's all." Responds Sasuke while looking at the landscape beside her, then Hinata looked at him, "Maybe Haruno is telling Tsunade that I almost killed the director of the Hospital..."
"Or filling the report with that geek…"
"…and getting testimonials from the nurses."
"But when Tsunade asks her about me…she'll be fucked up." smirked Sasuke, and Hinata looked back at him. "It will worst if she finds you with me."
"Or you with me…" then inner Sasuke smacked him, Did I just flirt with her?! Damn hold down your hormones!
"Actually, I'm more dangerous than you. They have feared anything from me since the Academy." Then Sasuke looks back at her impressed. He didn't have idea about it.
"What do you mean with that? I didn't know about it." he asked a little annoyed. Hinata raised an eyebrow, but then she looked back at the lake. Somehow she forgot why she went there in the first place, her tears dried up.
The captain stands up, looking down she remembered that she still had the 'Sailormoon' outfit. She started to feel comfortable with it. Then she turns around to leave, while Sasuke is still standing up. "I'll explain you about it later, maybe this time we can talk instead of plainly drink tea."
In that moment the Uchiha looks at her back, blinking twice. Is just me, or it sounded like an invitation?
A/N: I know that most of you will say 'finally! They interacted on a whole chapter without fighting!' Let's put it in this way…for some reason the story is called "The thin line between love and hate".
Hope that you enjoyed this one…more things are going to happen all the way. And about the 'lemon thing'…no comments. O.o
Reviews give an author the young spirit to keep writing…thanks.
