Hinatas POV:
"We should find a grave marker for him tomorrow," I said softly and lightly touched the hilt of samehada.
"Use some of the money you received for the babies. There's more than enough" Neji suggested to me and I thought about it. I could. He deserved it.
"I just need Itachi to help me. He was a friend to the both of us" I said and removed myself from the grave. We had been here for quite some time.
"I want to go see father" I said looking at Neji.
"For what? You can't go to the compound" Neji reminded me and I sighed. I forgot about that.
"I wanted to ask him about the auras we saw on the babies" I said and it was truthful. I was curious and kind of frustrated I couldn't remember them off hand anymore.
"I'll go for you. Is that okay?" He asked and I nodded my head. I didn't mind how we got the answers, I just wanted them.
"Let me walk you home" he said and got off the ground and we started moving toward the house.
"Hinata" someone said and then Sasuke appeared in front of us. I would never get over how quick and quiet he was.
"What's the matter?" I asked, he never came looking for me by himself anymore.
"Teach me how to meditate" he said blandly. I gave him a weird look and looked at Neji too.
"You already know how, why do I have to?" I asked him as my confusion grew more.
"Please?" He asked me and it sounded like it pained him to ask for help.
"Sure.." I answered him.
"I'll be back with those answers" Neji chimed in and left Sasuke and I alone.
"Let's go sit in the grass" I said and began walking backwards. I heard him following me and we found our seating.
"I can try and show you a new way of meditating" I told him and moved closer to him. I made sure our knees were an inch apart so I wouldn't make him feel uncomfortable. He nodded his head in agreement.
I was going to take him to the place Neji and I went. He would be the first person that wasn't a Hyuga to do so. I knew he could because our eyes were similar in ways. Our families weren't all so different at the end of the day.
"Shut your eyes and take my hand" I told him and he listened. I clasped his one hand in the two of mine. I closed mine as well.
"Let your chakra flow evenly but shift it towards your eyes like you were using your sharingan" I said and did the same thing.
It didn't take long and we entered the place. I opened my eyes because I knew we were here. Sasuke was too but he didnt realize it yet.
"Open your eyes" I said and he did so but slowly. He looked around and I couldn't read his facial expression.
"Where the hell are we?" He asked and finally looked me in the eyes. I gave him a small smile because I was surprised he didn't freak out. Then again.. its Sasuke.
"You are the first person that isn't of my clan who has been here. We come here to strengthen our bonds, our chakra and our mind" I explained to him. It would help him if he needed to fight. I knew he had a lot of chakra but this secures it so you can out fight your enemy.
"This is incredible" he numbered and then noticed the chakra colors of me and the babies.
"You asked for me to teach you something" I said, reminding him of why we were here and he nodded his head.
Kakashi's POV:
"Now as I was saying. I'm going to find Hinata to speak to her about this" Sasuke said and released himself from my grip.
I waited for the door to click shut and I sprung forward. He was going to pay.
Before I could touch him he flickered to the other side of the room.
"What's the matter?" He asked me, more like taunted. He knew exactly what was wrong. He slept with Yugao to get back at me and it worked.
"You slept with Yugao" I growled, throwing kunais at him. He moved out of the way and they stuck in the wall.
"I did and I enjoyed it, it's not like you guys were together" he shrugged casually but his sharingan started swirling as he spoke. I knew it was getting to him too, his emotions were taking over.
"We're not together because I made a bad decision," I said to him and then he flickered away completely. Where the hell did he go?
"Itachi!" I yelled and started looking for him. It didn't take me long to figure out where he went.
I ran at the speed of light outside and jumped on some of the houses in the process. He moved far away from the houses and ended up on the cliff of the property.
His back was turned towards me and he was looking down the edge of it. This was the same place he tried to end his life at.
In a moment he turned and blew a fireball at me which I quickly avoided.
"You have no right to be mad at me" Itachi hissed and stood in position to fight me.
"Does Hinata even know you guys slept together?" I shouted at him.
"No" he said bluntly and I charged at him. We both clashed, our weapons hitting each other. We locked eyes and we pushed on each others strength.
Here it was. Every single thing we ever argued over was finally coming to the surface. I've had it and I knew he did too.
"You slept with her and you're attacking me?" He asked, kicking me away.
"What we did was an accident. You did it on purpose" I jeered and I returned the favor of a fireball. I still knew all of the jutsu I learned when I had the sharingan.
He dodged it.
"I wouldn't have if you just left her alone! How many times do I have to sit back and watch you get in the way!?" He yelled back at me. His chest was moving heavily and then it dawned on me that he was still injured.
"Do you know that she's the one who started it?" He said and we both kept throwing our weapons at each other.
Then my world turned red and black. I looked around and realized he put me in a genjutsu. Shit. I needed to get out of this or he was really going to hurt me.
I pushed all my chakra around and broke out of it. I knew how to escape these just as easily as he could put someone in one.
I looked around again and he was nowhere to be found. He was hiding.. coward.
The more he was in hiding, the more I was becoming mad.
"Come out and fight me!" I yelled and I heard movement in a tree. I beeline a kunai toward the noise and he finally came out.
"I'm tired of fighting over her" he gritted and started moving toward me but slowly.
My rage took over and I held my right hand with my left. The sound of birds screamed around me. I was done playing games. Nor did I care if this chidori killed him. Our friendship was done.
He didn't stop moving toward me and I realized it wasn't him, it was an explosive shadow clone.
He was still in the tree and I moved forward like lightning, completely avoided the explosion of the clone.
"Kakashi!" Someone screamed and I glanced over as I continued moving.
Hinata and Sasuke were looking at me and I looked forward, I found Itachi. He was clutching his chest from pain and I lunged.
He moved out of the way but barely, little pieces of my lightning clipped his leg. Burning the skin a little and the tree exploded. The force sent me backwards.
"Stop!" Hinata shouted again and I was pinned down to the ground. Sasuke had me pushed into the ground and Hinata pushing Itachi backwards.
"What the hell are you two doing?" She asked, looking between the two of us.
"How did you find us?" I asked, looking at Sasuke.
"I know the sound of Chidori from miles away," he said to me.
"That doesn't answer my question" Hinata demanded.
"Ask Itachi" I barked and nudged Sasuke off me a bit so I could get off the ground. He moved and I stood up. We all looked at him. We were close enough to hear each other but far enough away.
"It's nothing" he said, getting off the ground himself.
"You're lying! I've known him long enough to know that when he uses chidori, hes aiming to kill!" Hinata started yelling all while pointing at me.
"He slept with Yugao" I deadpanned and I watched Hinata's arm drop but I couldn't see her face. Itachi glared at me and I shrugged my shoulders. Someone had to say it. No secrets were on the table now.
"That wasn't your place to say" he said to me and I could hear the venom in his voice.
"Why?" Hinata asked and I could hear the heartbreak in her voice.
"Why am I the bad guy? You two slept together. You both started this!" Itachi yelled.. he had finally snapped. I had never heard him yell like that.
"If I could intervene?" Yugao asked. Where did she come from? Then I realized she must of heard everything considering she was doing her job and was at Itachi's house.
"No! You may not!" Hinata yelled and started running at Yugao. Before I could move, Sasuke put himself between the two. He made sure Hinata couldn't touch her. Hinata was completely pissed off, pregnant and a deadly ninja. She probably would have tried to kill Yugao.
"I wanted to teach you and him a lesson. You guys hurt the both of us deeply by doing what you did" Yugao said, finishing her statement. It hurt to hear her say it.
"Two wrongs don't make a right" Hinata spat and continued trying to get passed Sasuke by clawing and pushing behind him. He was doing a good job at holding her back with one arm. I'll give him that.
"Well don't be mad at him, I used him and it worked" she said and looked at Itachi. I looked over at him and I couldn't figure out which emotion he was resting on but I knew it wasn't happy.
Yugao flickered away before anything else was said and the four of us just stood there.
"I'm done" Itachi spat and left enraged.
-one month later-
"So this is it, the chunin exams are officially next week" I said and signed my name on the last piece of paper. I picked the envelope up next to me and put it in there with the rest of them.
"It seems so, now we have no more paperwork for the rest of the day" Sasuke said and sat on the couch. I leaned back in my seat.
"We still have to go to the academy and bring some students to the district. A few parents wanted their kids to have extra tutoring" I said, reminding him.
"The quicker we do that, the quicker we can stop for the day," he said to me.
"Just breathe for a bit. We have an hour to do nothing" I said and I twirled myself around to overlook the village from my seat.
The last month had been numbing. Ever since that day in the field, no one had spoken to each other.
I saw Yugao every single morning since then because she was doing her job by protecting Itachi's house. And every morning she would give me a dirty look But I knew she was still hurting.
I assigned Itachi to start teaching at the academy. I still hated him but his skills needed to be taught to the younger generation. So I knew when it was time for them to go out in the world they wouldn't be so easily defeated if they were.
And Hinata.. it hurt to think about her. I wanted her but I knew going near her would stir emotions that no one wanted to act on.
Sasuke told me to do what I thought was right but I couldn't bring myself to openly invite her over to talk. I don't think she would want to anyhow. I hated this entire situation.
So for the past month I made it impossible for Sasuke and I to leave the office. I found every single piece of work we needed to do and more.
"Kakashi sensei!" A scratchy voice said loudly from outside of the door. The one and only voice of Naruto. Then the door to my office swung open.
"Just because you know Kakashi personally doesn't mean you can just barge in here. He's still our Hokage" Sakura said, trying to correct him. I smirked a bit and twirled my chair back around. They were holding two baskets.
"We figured since you guys haven't left this place in weeks we would bring you lunch" Sakura said, smiling towards us.
"Yeah, like old times. Just team seven" Naruto chimed in and I gave them a small smile. This was something I didn't know I needed until now.
I cleared my desk off so they could put the food on it. We all fixes our plates the boys sat on the couch and Sakura stayed at my desk with me on a smaller chair.
"I'm mentoring a young student in the medical field. She's learning so quickly" Sakura said after a bit of silence.
"You have the temperament to train someone?" Sasuke said and I had to with hold a laugh.
"I'm not that bad" she said, brushing it off.
"Plus, if Kakashi dealt with Naruto after all the years, anyone can train someone" Sakura chimed back in with her own witty remark and took a bite off her food. I laughed a bit.
"To be fair, you've all given me problems but it was worth it in the end" I said wholeheartedly. They've all grown so much in the past years and I was proud of them.
"We weren't that bad" Sakura said, pointing to her and Sasuke.
"I'd argue that" Sasuke said and I was surprised he actually commented.
"How so?" She asked, she sounded interested in his opinion.
Then a knock came to the door, making our conversation come to a halt.
"Well, I guess our lunchtime is over" Sakura said, getting up from her chair. She cleaned up quickly.
"Thank you both, I needed it" I told them and they nodded their heads.
"See you later Sasuke" Naruto waved at him and two out of my three students left the room.
"Come in" I said out loud so the mystery person would enter.
In came Hinata and a student from the academy. My heart jumped a little bit from seeing her and I could feel my face beating up.
"Yugao walked me, she went home" Hinata answered the question both Sasuke and I were thinking.
"This is Kishi, he said you helped once and he's stuck again. I told him I knew you personally and we could take a walk here" Hinata said, explaining they're sudden appearance.
I looked at the student she had with her and then I remembered him. He was the small child was angry about Tsunade after Pain attacked the village.
"What are you stuck on?" I asked him and he looked nervous.
"I've been training so hard since that day you came to talk to us. I jumped to the second best ninja in my class but I want to be number one. But I'm stuck on finding a new jutsu" he explained to me, more like rambled because he was talking so fast.
"And I know you're the copycat ninja and know so many and I need your help" he continued talking, his determination was unbreakable.
"What's a jutsu you're interested in?" I asked, he had me wondering now.
"Chidori" he said, locking eyes with me. It made me a little uneasy.
"That's not exactly a jutsu I would be comfortable teaching you. Its deadly and shouldnt be used unless you're planning on killing someone" I told him and I was blunt about it. I didn't feel bad about the wording either, he was training to be a ninja and one day he would have to kill someone. It was apart of the shinobi life.
"How about I teach you something instead? A secret jutsu that only my family knows" Sasuke intervened before Kishi could speak. I watched the child's face go from sad to excited all in one sitting.
"Is that okay?" Kishi asked, looking at me and I nodded my head. I knew Sasuke would teach him the fireball jutsu and that I wasn't worried about. Chidori however.. only Sasuke knew that one. I would never teach it to someone else.
"Well, when can we start?" Kishi asked Sasuke.
"We can start right now," he said and started walking towards the office door.
"Thank you Hokage-sama" Kishi said and bowed to me.
"I'll run by the academy and see if the students actually need to go to the district today" Sasuke told me and gave me a head nod before he left.
Then it was just Hinata and I. I had no idea what to say to her and by the looks of it. She didn't know either.
"How are you?" I managed to spit out and I felt dumb. I've never not been able to talk to her.
"The babies are good" she said and put her hands on her stomach.
"I know that.. but, I was asking about, Hinata" I said again, trying to get her to talk.
She stared at me for a second and I could see it in her eyes, she wanted to cry but was holding it back. I didn't enjoy seeing people sad, especially not her. I needed to say something.
I got up from my seat and walked toward her. She took a step back when I got close. I took her hands and moved her with me. I semi sat on my desk and kept her hands in mine.
"Listen" I started with and took a deep breath.
"Please don't" she asked me and I closed my mouth again.
"It's painful enough coming home everyday to a home full of anger and sadness. Neji is barely there anymore because of it. I've been sleeping in his room so Itachi and I don't cross paths" she rambled and I let her.
"If we didn't do what we did, nothing would be like this. Yugao was right that day. I can't be mad at them for doing what they did. We hurt them first" she said and some of the tears had started lining her waterline and I knew they were going to come pouring out soon. I was ready to catch them.
"I heard him and Neji talking one night. He was ready to move past everything but every since Yugao said she used him, he hasn't been the same. He cried himself to sleep that night" she continued to speak more. She was nearly ready to cry.
"Hinata, stop talking" I said and pulled her into me. I wrapped my arms around her and rested my face on the top of her head. I could hear the sniffling and I knew the flood gate opened.
"I haven't talked to you because I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable" I whispered to her and she tightened her grip around me.
"Hinata.." I said softly and took a deep breath. Here I go, I'm going to spill out every feeling I had.
"You are the only single living thing on this planet that I deeply love. If I could take back every single time I hurt you, I would. I should of just kept fighting for you. I'm not a needy person but I hate that I need you" I told her and her grip loosened a bit.
"You are what I want" I said and moved her a little so she would look at me. I held her face with my hands.
"I strayed off the path a bit when I dated Yugao. I know what we did hurt them but when we did it, it shook something inside of me. It shined a light on something that I buried" I continued talking.
"I'm in love with you and my feelings will never go away, I need you to know that" I finally finished what I had been harboring inside for some time now. She took my hands from her face but continued to hold them between us.
"You make it so hard to push my feelings for you away" She whispered. I wasn't sure how to respond to that. Did that mean she felt the same way?
"What's that supposed to mean?" I finally asked her.
"The more I think about the babies and you, the more my feelings come to the surface. Then I think of Itachi and I'm stuck in the same problem again" she admitted.
"You can't help how you feel" I told her, reminding her that she was human.
"Itachi doesn't want me anymore and I don't want to just run back to you and make you feel like a second option" she blurted out and now it made sense. Now I understood why she was so upset. Since when did Itachi not want her anymore or was she just overthinking? I questioned that to the fullest extent but I didn't want to talk about it with her.
"How about we go back to the district and set up the room in my home for the babies?" I asked, maybe changing the subject and staying busy would help.
"Okay" she said and started sniffling.
"I didn't think unboxing everything would be such a workout" I said and wiped my forehead off a little. She laughed a little at my statement.
We had finally taken everything out of the boxes so we could just put it in the room when we were finished painting it.
"If you think unboxing things was work, wait until these babies come" she said, making fun of me a little bit.
"So, how about we start painting the room?" She asked me as she picked up the paint cans from the floor.
"Stop picking things up" I said and quickly moved over to her and removing the paint cants from her hands.
"I'm not gonna injure myself, ya know," she said, I pretending like I didn't hear her and made my way down the hallway to the room for them.
I could hear her moving faster after me as I entered the room.
We were on the last wall of the babies room, we picked out a light gray for the walls and it looked really nice.
"You missed a spot" Hinata said and broke me of my concentration. I took a step back to look. Everything was covered in paint, including our own clothes and bodies. I wasn't understanding.
"What are you-" I started to ask her before she hit me in the arm with her paint brush. The gray paint was cool on my skin and she laughed.
"So, this is the game you want to play?" I asked her, raising my eyebrow. My paintbrush never left my hand.
"Oh no," she said and started to run away from me while she laughed.
"You're not getting away for me that says girl!" I yelled and started to chase her around the house.
I managed to hit the side of face a little bit, causing her to squeak and finally she turned around because I had cornered her.
"Well well well, looks like you ran out of running space" I said and pointed my paintbrush at her.
She started laughing uncontrollably the closer I got to her. She tried to hold her paintbrush up in defense but it wasn't working. It was cute.
I was damn near a few inches away from her now.
"Well my friend, I think I found the spot" I said softly to her. Her laughter had died down a lot and she put the palm of her hand on my chest.
I went for it, I slowly moved in and I kissed her. She didn't try and break away. Instead, she kissed me back. They were soft like we had never done this before.
She kissed me a little harder the second time and her hand grabbed my shirt to pull me closer.
I moved my hand to the back of her neck so that we had no space left between us. She pushed me back a little bit. I wasn't sure where she was going but I followed her.
We ended up in the bathroom on the first floor. I locked the door behind us as we walked in.
"Are you sure about this?" I asked her, taking a break from kissing her. I would never understand how everytime we were alone we ended up having sex. I wasn't complaining but it made me wonder.
"Yes" she whispered as she took her shirt off. She walked over to the shower and turned it on. I copied her by taking my own shirt off. I leaned against the counter and flicked the switch on behind me for the dim lights. Enough to see but not enough to be uncomfortable.
She walked back over to me and lightly traced down my torso with her fingers. Every touch was giving me goosebumps.
I took her by the back of the neck and pulled her back in towards me once more to I could kiss her.
She shifted a bit but I knew it was to take her pants off. I felt them fall to the floor and her hands reached for mine.
I kissed her deeper and put my hands behind her back to undo the clasp of her bra which fell to the floor.
We were soon naked and I lifted her up to place her on the counter. The room was becoming warm quickly because of the steam of the shower. I wanted to do something and I wouldn't get in the shower until I did.
I pulled her closer to the edge and opened her legs a bit. I placed my hand on top of her thigh and licked the bottom of the lip. She let me in, our tongues started dancing and my hand moved on it's own.
I put two fingers inside of her and started trailing my kisses down her neck. I felt her hips moving a little bit because she was enjoying it.
I made my way down her chest slowly as my hand continued to move a little faster.
I opened her legs a little more and I trailed her thighs with my mouth. I was finally where I wanted to be.
I kept my fingers inside of her while my tongue swirled around her clit. I moved my other hand upwards to play with her breasts.
I could feel her becoming wetter and her breathing started to become heavier.
I removed myself slowly from between her thighs and I made my way upwards.
"You're a tease" she said to me and I picked her up completely and headed for the shower. I wasn't trying to be but I wanted her to nearly be at peak when I entered her.
The warm water hit us both at the same time. I looked at her while she let the water down her body. Her hair was clinging in all the right spots and she still had paint on her skin. She looked so beautiful right now and she didn't even realize.
My thoughts were soon interrupted when she grabbed man part with her hand and started rubbing it. I wasn't expecting it so my breath hitched a bit.
She moved forward and started kissing and biting my neck on top of it. It felt so good but I wanted more.
This walk in shower was huge and I was grateful.
"I want you" I nearly growled into her lips as I kissed her deeply. I broke our kiss and lifted her up onto the counter that held soap.
"I want you too" she said back in the same tone. She grabbed the back of my neck, pulling me close and I entered her.
I moved as fast and hard as I could, her legs were wrapped around me and her head was back a little bit.
Her breathing became heavy again and soon started moaning. I had her right where I wanted her.
รข
We were finally laying in my bed and cuddling. We finished the nursery after our adventure in the shower and today had turned around.
"I'm glad I spent the day with you," she said, turning her head a little bit to look at me. I tightened my grip on her to let her know that I also enjoyed it.
We lay in silence some more and eventually her breathing evened out. She fell asleep. I knew waking her up to go home was probably a good idea but I didn't want to. I was being selfish and I didn't care.
She was holding something incredibly special to me inside of her, I wanted to be a family and I would do anything for that.
I moved my hand that was closest to her stomach and placed it on top. I left it there in hope one of the babies would kick.
"I can't wait until you guys are here" I whispered and I gave Hinata a kiss on top of the head. I closed my eyes and hoped sleep would come for me soon.
I hope you all liked this, I had fun writing it.
