Kakashis POV: -two months later-
"I'm glad we finally found time for this" I said out loud, giving Yugao a smile. The past two months had been nothing but busy for me, her and Sasuke. It was running errands, meetings, paperwork, baby appointments and traveling. The upcoming chunin exams were coming up and I had volunteered the leaf to host it because I was damn proud our village was finally back together. I wanted everyone to see the new beautiful layout we had all built together.
"I'm glad too," she said, smirking at me and then taking a small bite of her food. Who knew trying to have a real lunch with someone proved to be so difficult. I was however slightly nervous though, I was finally going to ask her to be my girlfriend today, making it official. Sasuke had finally convinced me to do so. Go figure, the one person in the village who was emotionally damaged made me see light in the situation considering what happened between Hinata and I.
I eventually gave in and told Sasuke what happened, I couldn't keep that a secret to myself any longer and I blurted it out one morning. He was enraged with me and called me an idiot. Which I deserved but I couldn't help it.
"Please calm down, we'll make it through this" I whispered to her and I moved so my lips were hovering over hers. This was a mistake, I knew it was. We were both seeing people whom we cared for deeply but something kept pushing me to get closer to her. My mind and body were waging with each other.
Then before I could process anymore thoughts, she closed the space between us and kissed me. I grabbed her small face with both of me hands, I didn't want to let go. It was like the day so long ago, only this time she pursued me. It felt wrong but it felt right, it always felt right with her, I felt her move away from me and I opened my eyes, we were both staring at each other now, our faces were inches apart.
"We really shouldn't be doing this.." she said softly to me again and I wanted to agree with her but I craved her for a second. I knew my feelings of love were gone but this was something else. It was comfortably at this point. I ignored what she said and went in for another kiss. Our tongues were dancing and I started moving my hands slowly down here face toward her breasts and then she finally pushed herself away.
"We didn't do that, this never happened," she said, backing away from me. I felt out of place now so I nodded my head and took my seat back at my desk. I watched her as she moved quickly towards the office door and then I started spacing out. She said something else, which I heard but didn't register right away.
Did all that really just happen? Why was it so easy to slip back into the same sexual pattern with her? Everytime we were alone, we touched each other somehow. Even earlier today when we found out were having twins. The moment we were alone, we hugged each other and didn't let go. I sighed out loud and put my head on my desk. I guess this is what happens with your first love, something will always just reside in your heart and mind. No matter if it was surfaced or buried. I wanted to hit myself for doing this behind Yugaos back, she didn't deserve this behavior from me even if we weren't together.
I slowly lifted my head and I felt the guilt settling in, this was something I would make sure she never found out.
"Kakashi, are you okay?" she asked me and I snapped back to reality. I hadn't realized I was spacing out so much.
"Yes, I was just thinking" I said to her and my heart started to race a bit, now was the time to ask her the question.
"Want to talk about it?" she asked me and slid her hand across the table to grab mine. I briefly smiled at her and I looked at her, she looked so pretty today. I don't know if it was from the small amount of guilt that surfaced or if I was blind and didn't notice. Probably both if I was being honest with myself.
"Actually, it's not really something to talk about. More of a question, really.." I said, holding her hand a little tighter. I didn't know why I was becoming so nervous, I knew she would say yes.
"Will you, Uzuki Yugao be my girlfriend?" I asked her and I nearly shut my eyes incase her face flooded with rejection. But, I'm glad I didn't. Her cheeks turned a light shade of pink and she started smiling.
She moved before I could blink, nearly sitting on me to hug me.
"Yes" she giggled slightly and squeezed me a little bit, I returned the favor and I could feel my heart overflowing with warmth. I let her go and she removed herself from my lap.
"Well, I don't want our lunch to end now but we have a meeting to attend to with the council," she said, bursting my bubble of happiness. I groaned and removed myself from the table.
"I've only been Hokage for six months and I'm already over it" I mumbled, making Yugao laughed at me.
"The laziest ninja being the Hokage will always make me giggle" she said, poking fun at me. She wasn't wrong, it was ironic I landed up becoming leader of this village. I have grown as a person mentally these past few months but one thing never changed, I was still always late.
-mysterious pov-
"Are you absolutely sure she's in the land of fire?" I asked my partner as I sat on the ground, I needed to meditate before we completed our mission.
"Positive. The subject hasn't moved in weeks and from my prior knowledge this is her home" he said, grinning. Good, she was just as eager as I was. Once we got our hands on her, no one would be able to stop us.
"Good, let's send a message first" I deadpanned towards her as I made a few hand signs and waited for my messenger bird to appear. I set the little white bird free and it beelined towards the leaf village as fast as it could fly. I figured a warning was at least courtesy.
They didn't earn it though, those pathetic shinobi they claim to be. No one in that village scared me, not the white fangs son, not the nine tails jinchuriki, not even that clan killer Uchiha. They were all spineless to me, they didn't even realize the power they harbored in their very own walls. She wasn't even worthy of our Gods powers that ran through her veins. They'll realize soon enough though.
Hinatas POV:
I was officially five months pregnant and I definitely felt like I was now. I know I looked the part too. My breasts were huge and my baby bump was sticking out now. Having twins was no joke, they were draining me of my energy all the time, even faster than normal. I was already done with it but I had four months to go.
"Hinata, you have a letter" Itachi spoke, breaking into my thoughts. I stopped tending to the garden for a minute to grab the paper from him. It was sealed with a silver H, why was my Dad sending me a letter?
"Your hands are covered in dirt and you're going to open it? What if it's important?" Itachi asked me, taking a seat on the stairs on the back porch. I shrugged my shoulders, not being bothered by his comment. I opened the letter quickly, nervous as to what he wrote on the inside.
Ru told me you're having twins and for that I'm excited for you knowing the twin genetic is being carried on within you. However, I'm up to date on your situation and I would like to help the best way I can. Have Kakashi go to the bank, tell them I sent him and the rest will be smooth sailing. It's all for the new additions. I hope you will have us in your home soon.
Smooth sailing? Bank? Was my Dad giving us money to help with the babies?
"I think my Dad is giving us money to help with the babies" I whispered, finally dropping my hands and the paper into my lap. It was weird to say considering I wasn't expecting any form of help from my clan. I
"That's a good thing though" Itachi spoke and I looked into his eyes, giving him a small smile. Ever since that night two months ago when I told Neji what I did, I never let myself forget it. I had been showing Itachi so much extra love and attention since then. I could tell it made him feel better, he just had a natural happy aura these past weeks. The old him was coming back, before anything bad had happened. It felt like nothing happened in these past years, I was truly cherishing it.
….
"This.. this is a lot of money" Kakashi nearly stuttered to me while holding the paper receipt in his hands. I knew my father gave us money but I didn't think this much. We could nearly live off of this until these babies were of academy age.
"He said he wanted to help" I told him, taking the small paper out of his hands so I could put it in my pocket.
"He didn't have to give us so much though, I'm grateful but I feel bad," he said, scratching the back of his head.
"Don't" I corrected him, reassuring him it was okay to accept help from him. It really was, I knew Kakashi only felt this way because he never had this much growing up but I did. I knew it wasn't even affecting the clans savings and earnings from the past year.
"Well, I suppose we should start making rooms for these babies then, huh?" he asked me, smirking a bit. I smiled nodding my head.
"I'll make a list, you need to have someone go out and buy everything," I told him, shifting to my other leg.
"Actually, I'll let you leave the district if Sasuke stays next to you all day," he said to me and my heart nearly jumped a beat. I hadn't seen the rest of the village since we were found that day. I didn't bother leaving, I was actually rather excited.
"Oh thank you!" I said and swung my arms around his neck, giving him a really tight hug. But as soon as I hugged him, I backed away quickly. My mind went straight to that night in his office. He backed away too, he must of thought the same thing. We hadn't really spoken to each other much since it happened.
"I'll go get Sasuke, go home for now," he said, a slight dust of pink was covering his cheeks. I nodded my head to agree and I bolted out of his house. This wasn't good, how were we supposed to co-parent if I couldn't even be right next to him?
But, at the moment I had to distract myself so I was thankful that I was able to leave and pick things up for the babies. We would need two of a lot of things considering we had to different houses. It made me sad knowing that but I knew in my heart it would all work out in the end.
"Hinata, is that you?" Itachi asked once I closed the front door to our home. I didn't bother answering him, instead I followed the sound of his voice which led me to the living room. He was reading a book and he looked so peaceful. I walked over to him and laid my head on his lap while he read.
I was hoping Sasuke could be here soon or I would fall asleep on Itachi in no time. Then I felt him shifted so I turned on his lap so I could look at him and he placed his book on the arm of the couch. We sat there for a few minutes just looking at each other and I really took in his features. He looked so worn down but so collected all in one grace. It pained me a little bit to look at his eyes though, knowing his sacrificed one of his eyes to help stop the war. A lot of people lost things that day, loved ones, body parts and even a little sanity.
I kept looking at him and Hinabis words came into my mind, she was right. I was with someone who was truly incredible. Then a mere movement made my eyes leave his to look at my stomach, it felt like butterflies and it almost made me giggle.
"One of the babies just kicked" I said softly, putting my hand on my stomach. He looked hesitant but also intrigued. I moved my hand towards one of his and placed our hands on my stomach. I hoped one of them would move again. I was glad he didn't move his hand away though and then it happened again but he quickly moved his hand away.
"That was weird.. I can't explain it" he said, his eyes staying on my stomach.
"I know, it's weird to feel it inside of me" I whispered but I kept my hand there anyway. It was something I would get used to but for now it was new to me and I loved it. What I didn't love is the sudden urge to move because I was comfortable laying on Itachi's lap.
"Are you okay?" he asked as I sat up, I moved myself back so I was sitting on his lap instead.
"I'm okay, just needed to move" I told him, giving him a reassuring smile. Which he returned back to me. I took the opportunity to put one arm around his neck so we were even closer.
"I love you" I said softly to him and I placed my hand on the side of his face. He smiled, giving my hand a kiss and then moving his face closer to mine.
"I love you too" he said back and kissed me.
"It's bad enough I have to see Kakashi and Yugao now I have to see you guys kissing too?" a voice asked breaking us apart. I giggled and we both looked at Sasuke who was standing in the doorway of our living room.
"To be fair brother, you're in my house and I shall do as I please" Itachi said, glaring just a little bit.
"Hn" Sasuke replied back and I removed myself of the older Uchihas lap, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"He's taking me to buy things for the babies, I'll be back" I said to him, walking away from him. I knew invited him to do these things was probably pushing it so I didn't bother asking him.
Sasuke's POV:
"Please tell me this is the last store?" I groaned out loud toward Hinata. I would never understand how women take so long when they're shopping. What could be so hard about picking out baby stuff?
"Yes, just the two cribs and we're done" she told me and I nearly sighed out loud in relief. I just wanted to go home and sleep, I was way over tired for this. At this very moment I hated the fact I was Kakashi assistant. I mean, I get why he didn't ask Neji or Itachi to do this but still.
"I just have to use the bathroom quickly and our last mission of the day will be over soon enough," she said, bee lining for the bathroom. I plopped right down on the nearest seat and started to stare into space while I waited.
"Sir, are you okay?" the woman working asked me, I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her. Was I spaced out for that long? Where the hell was Hinata?
"Yeah, I'm okay.. Just waiting for my friend to get out of the bathroom" I informed her and she looked at me weird.
"The pregnant girl? You should probably check on her. It's been twenty minutes" the worker told me and I got off the seat and walked to the bathroom. She never took this long in the bathroom.
"Hinata?" I asked, knocking on the door and no answer. I knocked again and still got no answer and worry took over me. I twisted the doorknob and the door slowly crept open. I peeked my head in and Hinata was gone.
"Did you see her leave this bathroom?" I asked the worker, running towards her. She shook her head and I left the store. Where the hell is she? Kakashi is going to murder me.
I jumped up the side of the building quickly and looked around, hoping the height of the building would help me and nothing.
I closed my eyes and focused at this point, hoping her chakra would show up somewhere but nothing.. She was literally just gone.
I started moving as quickly as possible back towards home, hoping Kakashi was still in the house so I could get murdered sooner rather than later because I lost the woman carrying his children.
The front door to our house never appeared in front of me quicker either and I didn't open it lightly.
"Sasuke, where are your manners?" Kakashi asked, he was sitting at the table with Yugao, they were having drinks. I glared and he knew I wasn't in the mood for joking around and his mood became serious too. I guess one of the perks of him being my sensei was him knowing when something was wrong.
"What's the matter?" he asked and my heart started to race.. It was now or never..
"Hinata is gone" I deadpanned.
"What do you mean gone?" he asked me and I could hear the panic in his voice.
"We were shopping, she went to the bathroom and now she's gone" I told him and he stood up from his seat.
"I don't even sense her chakra in the village" I continued to fill him in on things. I could see it in his eyes, he was enraged with me for losing her but worried about the babies.
"Go get Neji, have him search the entire village just in case you missed something" he gritted out to me and started walking towards the front door of the house.
"I didn't miss anything, she's not here" I replied back to him and before I could blink I was against the wall and I could see murderous intent in his eyes now.
"Don't talk right now" he nearly growled at me and left me alone while he stormed out of the house.
…
"Just do a thorough search, Kakashi wants to make sure I didn't miss anything" I told Neji as I rolled my eyes. Neji looked dead inside from what I just told him. The last time she went missing, he broke a little bit but this time I knew it was really bothering him. She didn't have my brother with her this time, wherever she went.
I watched Neji walked over to the giant window that was overlooking the village in the Hokage's office. It was the second highest place in the village so his blood line would be even clearer. In a way I was hoping she was here and I actually just missed her but I knew I didn't. My senses were never wrong. Not to mention Itachi didn't even know Hinata was missing yet.
"She's really not here.." Neji said softly and I watched him curl his fists up on his side.
Then a small tapping came from the window that certain Shinobi used to come into the office with. I walked over to it, opened it and was greeted by a small messenger bird. The hell is this?
I extended my hand for it to give me the message and I opened it slowly, I had never seen a bird like this before.
Good luck finding her, she belongs to us now. Her power shall be of great use
"Power? Are they talking about her bloodline because if so there's an entire clan full of you" I rambled out loud handing the paper over to Neji for him to read.
"No, that's not it.. I knew this could come back to haunt her" Neji grumbled and I watched him crumble the paper up. And what did he mean haunt her? I think I was missing a piece of this story.
"What are you talking about Hyuga?" I asked him, losing my patients. He didn't bother answering me but instead punched the desk and left the room. I was still confused but I decided to follow him, it was better than standing alone in an office.
….
I saw the look of anger in my brothers eyes once and only once. Now, it would be twice. His one sharingan was swirling out of control and I thought he was going to set me on fire. In the short span of following Neji we had all met back up into Uchiha district. We had gather Kiba and Shino again to help look for her and Naruto for his chakra sensing abilities. This was the one time I wished Karin around but I hadn't seen her since she escaped the village that day.
"If she isn't found at midnight I'm putting out a missing persons notice" Kakashi deadpanned and we everyone took off at once, leaving me alone in the middle of the street.
"They really took off quickly, didn't they?" a female voice asked from behind me and I looked to see Yugao. I nodded my head in agreement. The two of us were left behind here, we were not assigned to do anything and it kind of sucked. I know Yugao wasn't supposed to do anything considering she had no tracking abilities whatsoever. Itachi didn't either but Kakashi knew he wasn't going to wait around and I knew that I was left behind because they were all pissed at me.
I hope everyone likes this chapter more, were now starting a new arc but a small one. Please don't hate me lol, enjoy!
I sighed and started making my way towards the Hyuga compound. I knew the best decision right now would be to inform Hinatas father of the situation, hoping he could help.
