Chapter 10: Shattered Time
..
..
"Hinata!" He screams as he holds the woman's shoulder while he stare at her lifeless eyes.
Is she blind?
"Ahmmm.. Ano." The woman seems to feel uneasy with the way he holds her.
"You're alive!" Naruto scream happily and embrace the blind Hinata. For so many years he had thought that she was gone but here she is…. alive and….
"What are you doing to my mother dattebasa!" A teenage boy screams and holds his sleeve. Pulling him strongly away from Hinata.
"Who do you think you a-" and the boy couldn't utter another word as he lock eyes with Naruto.
Naruto somehow couldn't find a word to say seeing the boy who is exactly like him.
Looking through his eyes Naruto could feel something special and unexplained connection he shared with this boy he just happens to meet. Just like the one with Himawari.
"What is the meaning of this?" Toneri shouted as he went beside the trembling Hanabi. "How dare you Naruto to embrace my wife without my consent." He said as he blocks woman from Naruto's view with his body.
"Hinata! It's me Naruto! Hinata!" Naruto calls as he tries to approach the woman behind Toneri. He tried to reach out towards Hinata but Toneri's security personnel blocks his way. "Stay away!" He warns them. "That is my wife you're claiming to be yours Torine!"
"What?! What the hell is your problem? Are you out of your mi-"
"That is Hinata and he is my wife you bastard!" Naruto angrily cursed at the surprised Toneri.
"Shut up! This is my wife Hana, you mistook her for someone else." Toneri explain.
Everybody in the hall went quiet. Nobody dared to move or talk.
"What do you mean I mistook her for someone else? I already told you that she is my wife!" And Naruto hold the first guy that blocks his way and throws him 10 feet away, he then kick and punches the other securities that comes blocking in his way.
"Naruto stop it!" Shikamaru quickly got a hold of Naruto but Naruto just give Shikamaru a leopard blow that almost knocks him unconscious, creating a cut on his left eyebrow.
Naruto is on rampage as Kiba and Shino helped holding Naruto but they all earn a lotus kick from him. Sai, Lee and Chouji helped as well and only then that Naruto was restrain.
"Stop it Naruto." Sai ordered him.
"Let me go! That's Hinata, That's my wife. He is trying to steal her!." Naruto said while he is still rampaging despite everyone restraining him.
"Tamaki take Himawari and Boruto. Let's go Hana." Toneri ordered as he took hold of the woman's hand.
Hearing this, Naruto continues to rampage more, sending Sai and Lee flying towards the Buffet table.
"Sasuke!" Sakura screamed towards Sasuke who is in shock while staring at the retreating figure of the woman Naruto claimed to be Hinata.
Hearing Sakura's panic voice had snapped him from his reverie and he helped in restraining Naruto.
"Stop it Naruto." He commanded, as he took hold of his arms as Chouji restrain the blond as well with all his strength.
They never had seen Naruto rampaging like this.
He is in no doubt the strongest of them, which makes it hard for them to stop him.
When all of a sudden Naruto's breathing becomes rapid. And it even grows rapid in every second.
"He is hyperventilating." Sakura informed the group after seeing Naruto's rapid breathing and he began to have a panic attack.
The emotions and the stress he holds for this past 13 years had taken its toll on him. Sasuke protectively hold him safely as he fainted.
And everybody rushed towards his side.
Everybody….
Even the blond teenage boy who looks exactly like him came to help him.
..
..
"How is he?" Shikamaru asked Sakura after Temari had nursed his cut.
"Terrible. All his emotions for this past 13 years had taken its toll on him. He is so weak that seeing someone who looks exactly like Hinata had him reach his limit. He can't take all those emotions at once that it exploded so fast." Sakura explain as she counts Naruto's pulse rate for the 52nd times.
"Poor Naruto, I can't imagine what he had to live through and now this. He is in great pain" Ino commented as she helps Sakura from nursing Naruto.
Shikamaru eyed the sleeping blond and then he look at the teenage figure of a boy who happens to came inside the room.
Sakura and Ino didn't take notice of the boy and when the blond boy captured Shikamaru looking at him that he quickly run away.
"I wonder if Naruto is the only one who had to live through pain." Shikamaru blurted out causing Ino and Sakura to stare at him, puzzled by what he said.
...
...
Hinata!
..
That name,
Hinata!
..
The man called him, that name… she knows that name. She knows it but she can't remember why it does.
A feeling of longing had crowded her when she heard that mans' voice. She doesn't know who he is but her heart tells her that she does.
Strange that for so many years someone came to claim that he knows who she is and in fact even claim her to be his wife.
"Lady Hanabi, Lord Toneri wishes to seek your presence." Tamaki- her ever loyal friend informed her as she helped her on her way towards the door of her room.
"Is he angry?" She asked as they walked together to where Toneri-her husband would be.
"I can't say for sure, but he seems to be drinking." Tamaki says in whispers.
As Tamaki opens the door, Hanabi took the liberty to get in sensing that it's the living room of their mansion.
"Toneri?" Hanabi called as she can hear and feel the presence of Toneri nearing her.
Tamaki slowly closes the door leaving the couple to have their private moment.
Hanabi can smell the scent of alcohol on her husband that got her on high alert.
"I'm here honey." He said and closes the gap between them and hugs her tightly.
"Are you drinking?"
"Just a little shot in order for me to think clearly about everything." Toneri explain as he took her hands and lead her to the sofa.
"Everything?" She asked although she had a clear idea on what he is been thinking.
"Yes Everything."
"This has something to do with that guy who approached me today isn't it?"
Silence...
"That guy who claims to be your husband, yes I've been thinking of him. He is Naruto Uzumaki chairman of all Konoha enterprises and other institution. He is a man who lost his wife a long time ago and he thinks that you are his deceased wife, which would be so impossible because she is dead for years." Toneri let out a soft chuckle at his last word. "But let's not think about what happen today okay? That man won't bother us again. He was drunk when he said those words, I'm sure when he is sober he would send us an apology."
She chose not to say anything and just nod. She wanted to excuse herself but his rough hand caressed her face lovingly, a message was send to her that he desires to have her tonight. She trembles at that thought.
Hanabi can sense his face inching nearer to her neck as he can smell him, when the door bolted open.
"Mama! It's time for you to go to bed." Himawari announced causing Toneri to stop what he is about to do.
"Let's go mama" Himawari said sweetly and took hold of her hands. "Goodnight Toneri-san"
Hanabi smiled at her daughter as she guided her towards her room.
..
..
"Thank you Hima-chan" She whisper to her daughter and Himawari knows what she meant by her appreciation.
Silence.
"Hima? Whats wrong?"
Silence...
"Hima?"
"Nothing mama, it's just that I can't seem to erase what happen today." Himawari confesses.
Hanabi stopped at her trance.
"Hima-chan, that guy just confused me of someone who is dead. Don't stick that on your head okay." She smiled sweetly at her daughter trying to ease her thoughts.
When Himawari had led her to her room and gently closed the door while she went on her own to go to the bathroom by counting her steps that she said something that made Hanabi's heart raced.
"Mama. If Naruto-san mistook you for someone else. How come he looks a lot like brother?"
Hanabi who is halfway across the bathroom stopped.
"If only you can see him mama. He is exactly like nii-san. I'm sure it wasn't just a pure coincidence." Hima said softly but enough for Hanabi to hear. "I want to know if he is in anyway my father. Is he?''
Hanabi can feel Himawari's almost crying voice while asking her.
"I- I—don't know Hima. I'm sorry. Please go to bed now." She said and went inside the bathroom to avoid Himawari's question.
She took a deep breath as she was left alone in the bathroom.
She heard Himawari opening and closing the door. She felt bad about not having the right answer to tell to her daughter.
That man Naruto, Himawari claim to be look like Boruto, and that man claiming her to be his wife, it wasn't just a coincidence now isn't it?
She quickly went out of the bathroom as she heard three knocks on the door and she knows who it could be.
"Lady Hanabi. Himawari is on her way to her bed right now, I brought you your dinner since you haven't had any since after breakfast." Tamaki said as Hanabi can hear her arranging and preparing her food.
Hanabi slowly sat on the chair for her. "Boruto? Is he on bed?"
"Ahmmm.. Well Lord Toneri's bodyguard are looking for him. He run off again, I'm guessing he is affected by what that blond guy just caused a while ago that h-."
"Tamaki-san?"
"hmmm?"
Silence
"Hanabi-san? Is there something you need?"
Silence
"Hanabi-san? I know you so well that I can tell that something is bothering you. What is it?"
"Himawari told me something that I wanted to confirm." Hanabi bit her upper lip trying to suppress a strange emotion that's going to burst out if she would hear what she thought Tamaki's answer would be.
"Is that guy looks like Boruto?"
Hanabi heard Tamaki drop the spoon and she quickly apologizes.
"Tamaki-san? Answer me." She demanded.
Tamaki went quiet as if she was battling whether to tell her or not.
"Ahhmmm—yes Hanabi, But you must not tell Toneri-sama that I told you about that. He already instructed me not to entertain you with possible questions." Tamaki replied in whisper even if it's only the two of them in her room. "That guy who approached you today, his eyes are like the kids, and his face is a splitting image of Boruto. I know I should not say this cause it may sounds that I believe that stranger but he seems to be genuine when he calls you his wife."
Hanabi gasped despite preparing herself for Tamaki's possible answer.
Think Hana...Think!
He screams on her thoughts...
Memories of 13 years ago went back to her.
The time when she woke up -with bandages on her eyes and other parts of her body.
The time when she doesn't know who she is, where she came from and what does people used to call her.
The time when she was brought to a place called Tsukikure where Tamaki's family had welcome her as one of their own.
The time when she battles about being pregnant but no memories as to why she was impregnated.
The time when she went by as a blind mother caring for her twin babies.
The time when she live and work as a seamstress to get to their every need.
The time when Boruto and Himawari would ask for their father that she doesn't know how to answer them in the right word, for she knows that they were too young to understand about her having no memories about herself.
She remembers all those times.
Those shattered times she had when all the hardship came into their life, when all hope seems to be gone for her,
Most of all she remember the time when Himawari met an accident and almost can't walk and back then, Toneri came with his proposal of marriage in exchange for his help towards Himawari's medication.
She remember those shattered times but she could not remember beyond those memories.
She had been waiting and wishing that someday someone from her past will come for her. her family or friends, and for 13 years only now that someone claimed her to be of someone else that she knows there might be a high chance that it might be true.
"Tamaki-san. Please I need a favor." She asked in between tears while grabbing Tamaki's hand. "I need you to do something for me but Toneri should not know."
"Hanabi-san. You know you're like my sister, I would do anything for you." Tamaki softly said as she grasps Hanabi's hand.
"I want to talk to that Naruto guy."
