Chapter Five
Naruto ran as quickly as he could. Shit shit shit shit shit shit. I'm going to be late. I'm going to be late. I'm going to be late and they will yell at me. He rushed past a group of first-years, and one of them squealed, her skirt fluttering up in the wind. Naruto turned, nearly hitting a tree, and jumped over a rock, flipping to land in front of a group of six students and Hinata.
"Gomenasai, Naruto-sensei." A young girl muttered. She stepped out of his way with a blush, and hid behind Hinata.
"Oh, Hey Hinata! How's it going?" Naruto brushed his unruly mass of hair from his eyes, and looked over at the soft-spoken woman near him.
Hinata was dressed in a black top, red seams running around it. She had matching black pants and her Hitai headband around her neck. On her back she bore the kanji for "love". The same kanji tattooed to a certain Missing-nins forehead.
"Ohaiyoo, Naruto-sensei." Hinata looked down at the girl clutching her shirt, and softly pulled her away. "Ne, Hakumei-chan, don't be rude! Say hello to Naruto-sensei." Hinata smiled up at Naruto quickly, and pushed the young shinobi in front of her.
"H-hello, Naruto-sensei…" The girl blushed madly, and stared down at her fingers, which she had together at a point, reminding Naruto of a girl, he once knew.
"Hi!" Naruto yelled the greeting and the girl nearly jumped out of her shoes.
"Ne, Naruto-sensei! Not so loud. They are only five and six years old!" Hinata blushed in spite of herself and looked to the five other children huddled around her.
"Sorry Hinata, I forgot…" Naruto flashed a sheepish grin before dashing off to find his own wards.
------------
"Ino?"
"Yea, Sakura?"
"What should we do today?"
"I dunno…"
"Me either." Sakura turned to look at Ino, and smiled. The blonde had her eyes closed, and was swaying ever so slightly, arms locked around the younger one's waist.
Sasuke, on the other hand, was sitting on the couch, become rather annoyed with the lovebirds. They were interrupting his sulking. They were destroying the pure essence of a bad mood by their constant drabble.
"You don't suppose you could go… somewhere else, maybe?" The two girls just giggled, and Sasuke sighed, becoming thoroughly agitated by their presence.
"Oh, Sa-su-ke-chaaan!" Ino blurted, stifling laughter. "Don't be such a grouch!"
"I'm not a 'grouch'. I just want to sit in silence."
"Oh you should have seen yourself last night! All over Naru-chan! It was so-" Ino stopped, and the girls looked at each other.
"KAWAII!" They both looked at him with a look that read, "You know it's true!"
The Uchiha sighed. "So bothersome…"
"Sasuke, you prude. Now you're acting like Shika-chan. don't be so glum." Sasuke chastised him, and he finally got up and left, tired of their talking.
--------------
Naruto stumbled into the apartment, headache raging.
"Ohaiyoo!" two very loud and bouncy girls yelled. They threw confetti from a bag, and tackled him in a hug.
"OI! What are you two doing!" He fought against their hands, trying to get out of their grasp. At last, he managed to break away, and he stood up, swaying on the spot from his headache.
"Gomen…" The two girls stared at their feet, looking remorseful.
"It's okay… Hey, where's Sasuke?" He looked around the living room, which the two had seemed to live in that day. Said boy was no where to be found.
Sakura answered him. "Oh him…He went off somewhere about ten… ten? Or- What time did he leave, Ino?" She just shrugged.
"Before lunch, after you had left." Naruto nodded, and walked down the hall to find his friend. He heard a squeal from the other room, but ignored it.
"Ino!" Sakura jumped, trying to get away from the blondes wandering hands.
"Yea?" Ino smirked, enjoying hunting her prey. She maneuvered around the small coffee table, and reached out to grab the pink fabric of Sakura's shirt.
"Eee! Ino! Don't do that!" She pulled her top free, and ran behind the couch.
"C'mon Sakura! Don't you want to have fun?" Ino giggled, and lunged at Sakura, taking her to the ground. Luckily, they landed in a mass of blankets and pillows, and neither girl was hurt.
"I got yooou!" Ino bent down, kissing Sakura's flushed cheek.
"Okay, okay! Fine! You win…" Sakura giggled, and grabbed Ino's hand, playing with the fingers.
"So…?"
"So?"
"Don't I get a prize?"
"For what!"
"I won!"
The young Haruno nodded, and giggled when Ino snuck her hand up the pink-haired one's shirt.
-------------------
"Sasuke?"
"…"
"Sasuke. What are you doing?" Naruto peered through the key hole of the door, eyeing the black-haired thing inside.
"Brooding."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because I can."
"Puh! That's no excuse. Let me in!" Naruto tried to pull open the door, but it held fast, not giving in. Sasuke got up, at his leisure of course, and unlocked the door.
"Thank you!" Naruto stood up, and walked in, being careful not to slam the door too hard.
"Hn…" was the response. Naruto rolled his eyes, and sat down on the bed, scooting over to lean against Sasuke.
"How was your day?" Sasuke said after a few minutes.
"Fine…"
"Good."
"Hey, do you know?"
Sasuke stared blankly at him. Sometimes the blonde could be such an idiot.
"Know what?"
"That girl… Hinata's teaching now, and there's this girl, who looks just like her. Did her sister have a kid?"
Sasuke blinked.
He didn't normally follow the town gossip, but he hadn't heard of a birth in the Hyuga clan. But then in clicked.
"Oh, you mean Hakumei then. Yes, she's Hinata's daughter."
Naruto blinked. Daughter? Hinata doesn't have a daughter…
"What? When? When did she…?"
Sasuke sighed. He hated to tell long stories. They were boring and such a waste of time.
"Let's see… I guess it would be five years ago now, but they met seven years ago…"
After they had come back, back from "rescuing" Sasuke, Hinata's feelings for Naruto began to subside. She instead focused her thoughts on a certain sand demon.
It was always a rocky relationship, with Gaara being gone so much, but Hinata never gave up. She loved him. Some think it was his absolute self-love that Hinata liked. But Gaara knew he loved her total devotion. For once, he felt like he wasn't hated, and he felt loved… but whether or not it was real, he never found out.
He had been gone, for two years, the Akatsuki having control of him. Hinata never gave up on him, not once, and she waited, each day for his return. Finally one day, he came back. But it was for a fleeting moment, not even a night. No one's even sure he really came, because only Hinata saw him. But she swore it was him, she swore that for one night, he came and saw her. And nine month's later; she gave birth to his child. A little girl, with deep red hair and light purple eyes. There was no mistaking whose child it was, but… no one seemed to accept it.
To this day, Naruto, Hinata waits for her long lost love to return, like a sailor at sea, to come home. The girl has never met him, but she is so much like him, being so arrogant and self-loving. She even wears black paint under her eyes, determined to be as powerful as her father, but always drawn back by her lack of power, like her mother.
Maybe that's what clicked, with them. They were so different; one self-loving and strong, the other hated and weak.
Naruto blinked. He hadn't ever noticed… but now it made sense. The girl did look like Gaara.
"So… Gaara and Hinata… they? Whoa." Naruto sank into the pillows, thinking this over. Why do things like this always seem to slip by me?
Sasuke nodded, and wiggled up against Naruto.
"But their affairs are none of our concern." And with that, Sasuke ended the conversation.
"Of cours-" Naruto was cut off by Sasuke's lips on his own. He melted immediately, being the sucker he was for Sasuke's taste. The blonde slid down, back now level with the rest of the bed, and ran his hands up Sasuke's sides. As Sasuke deepened the kiss, Naruto couldn't help but think 'it's going to be a very long evening…'
