I Do Not Own Naruto or it's Characters

I stood quietly in the corner of the room as I awaited the decision. Everyone was yelling trying to make their case on the situation. I couldn't help but feel like I was being pulled two separate ways. Who should I support? Who is better for the job? For years Naruto made it known to everyone that he wanted, no he was going to be the next Hokage. Now that the time is here he has to face the fact that there maybe someone more suited for the job. As much as I hate to admit I too am swayed towards his opponent. It's so frustrating hearing everyone talking at once my stomach turns and I feel as if all my energy is being drained from me. I want to say something, but what? What can I say to make this situation better for everyone, so that everyone is happy? In reality no matter the decision both are good, but someone is going to be hurt.

"I should be Hokage! I am the hero of the village! I have worked so hard for this and you're not even willing to give me a chance!"

My heart went out to Naruto and he made his case. He is a hero and everyone owes him so much, because he did play a big role in ending the war. To be honest I really can't say how everything ended because I was sent back to Konoha the last four months of the war. It was nerve wrecking knowing I was unable to help my friends and loved ones. Especially….

"Naruto listen, I couldn't agree with you more on what you're saying but Lady Tsunade isn't here to make that choice"

I was beginning to feel sick and it became hard to breathe.

"Lady Hinata is everything alright," came a concerned voice form my right.

"Yes, I-I just need to sit d-down. I'm feeling a little light h-headed." It was the truth, I felt like my legs would give out at any moment. Neji, what would I do without him? He was gracious enough to get me a small chair and lay a comforting hand on my shoulder. I couldn't help but reach up and take his hand in mine. I felt him tense, but soon relaxed and laced our fingers. I took a deep breath and focused my attention back on reason everyone was there.

"Kakashi Hakate is going to be our new Hokage Naruto whether you like it or not. We have acknowledged the fact of how far you have come and for that we are grateful. You are simply not ready to for the position."

"What! I am to ready, I am willing to do anything to keep the people of this village safe!" Naruto yelled hitting hand on the table causing me to jump a little.

"Every shinobi here is willing to do the same thing, but does that make them Hokage material?"

After that statement there were a lot of grumbles of agreement. Slowly more people began to speak up and things were starting to get really intense. Then it happened.

"Ok that's enough!" his voice made me shiver. It was so relaxed yet commanding. "Naruto I don't like this anymore than you do, but the decision has been made and it's not going to change."

Naruto just stared at his old sensei looking a little hurt that he wouldn't back him up on the matter. But Kakashi was right, the choice was made and what could they do? Naruto gave him a hard glare and said 'fine' in a voice I didn't even know he had and left the room. I looked at the door Naruto stormed out wondering what should I do or if I should do anything at all. I turned and notice Kakashi looking at me, I blushed and little as he nodded his head silently saying 'go ahead'. Neji helped me to my feet and I made my way after Naruto.

I walked a little ways before I finally found him sitting alone frowning at the ground. I slowly approached him thinking about what I would say. What should I say in a situation like this? Should I just let him know that everything would work out for the better? I didn't have much longer to think about it because he turned and looked at me. I froze.

"Hinata, what are you doing out here?"

I slowly made my way towards him so that I was standing where he sat. "I uh, j-just wanted t-to make sure you w-were alright."

He didn't respond right away so I began to walk away until I heard him call my name and ask me to sit with him.

"I-I know becoming Hokage w-was your dream," I said in a low voice looking at my lap.

"Yeah well they didn't seem to think I could do the job."

"Don't worry, I'm s-sure you'll be the next one," I said giving him a small smile. He gave me a big smile back making me blush a little.

"Yeah you're right! I will be Hokage no matter what! I have to be, believe it!"

I couldn't help but giggle at how easily Naruto could pump himself up. We sat in silence for a while just enjoying the nice weather.

"Naruto I was looking all over for you, oh hi Hinata."

"Hello Sakura, h-how are you?" I smiled giving her a small nod.

"Oh um great, how are you feeling?"

She was looking at me strange and then it hit me. She knew. I mean how could she not know, she was far from an idiot. "I'm well t-thank you."

It got quiet, really quiet and I was beginning to feel a little award. "I-I have to get b-back, Neji is p-probably wondering w-where I am," I said getting up, but not before Sakura offered me her hand.

I began to walk away when Sakura ran to catch up with me. I stopped and put on my best smile. "Is e-everything ok?"

"Uh yeah, I don't mean to pry but Hinata, are you pregnant?"

There it was those three words I knew was coming 'are you pregnant.' Was I supposed to lie to her? I was never really a good liar and plus she already knows she's just asking for conformation.

"Y-yes."

"Is…it…Naruto's?" I was surprised when she said his name. I could also see hurt maybe, in her eyes when she asked me about it. Could she really have feelings for Naruto now? I wasn't sure what her angle was asking me who the father was.

"No." is all I said as I walked away.

When I was far enough I looked down at my stomach. I was wearing a thin yellow long sleeve shirt that fit loosely around my midsection. No one else seemed to notice the change and I wasn't sure I was ready for them to. They probably just thought I had gained a little weight while they were away because Lady Tsunade never told anyone why she sent me away.

"How did it go?"

I turned around and there he stood leaning against the doorway with his hands in his pockets. "It went w-well. He is already t-talking about replacing y-you." I heard him chuckle a little.

"Are you h-hungry?" I asked from the kitchen. That's when I felt him against my back, I instantly relaxed. I let out a content sigh. I missed his touch. He laid his head on my shoulder as I began to cut the vegetables for the soup I was making. One of his hands slowly rubbed my stomach and I felt tears threatening to come. I turned around to face him.

"Don't cry," he whispered wiping away a tear.

"W-what are w-we going to d-do? If t-they find o-out about h-him …" I couldn't finish what I wanted to say. So many things were running through my mind. I loved Kakashi and I wanted to be with him, but what would everyone else think? They would probably strip his title as Hokage.

"Hinata, kitten," I pouted a little at his pet name for me. "Don't worry about it, I am Hokage now after all."

"O-ok" was all I could say as I continued preparing our meal. I knew tomorrow things would be a lot different.

Ok guys let me know what you think. If you have any helpful tips I am more than willing to listen. Please be kind this is my first atempt. Thanks in advance :)
