Summary: A SasuIno story. Everything was just an accident. (Read the presumes and assumes in chapter 1.)
Special thanks to my home girl, HanayakaXy. She's the best! She corrected every mistake that I made. I heart her:D
8 years later
8 years after the incident, Ino decided to go back in Konoha as she promised.
Her looks never changed, she's still the very beautiful woman like before but the only new about her is, she's the mother of 7 years old kid.
As she looks at the gate of Konoha, she spoke to the kid beside her.
"We're here." Ino said to the boy beside him.
"..Yeah." the little boy whispered.
"Aren't you excited?" Ino inquired the boy.
"No. I will never be.," the boy said coldly.
"I know you're sad because you left your friends, but you will have friends right here too." Ino explained.
"But kaa-san, I am not used to live in this environment. I am contented in Suna, why do we need to go here?" the boy uttered quietly.
"Please." Ino pleaded.
"Okay, fine kaa-san, but if I got bored in here I am gonna go back to Suna, with or without you.." the boy chattered.
They entered in the gate, its afternoon, the village is rather quiet than usual.
They headed in the Hokage's tower.
At the Hokage's Tower…
They knocked on the door as a sign of respect.
"Come in.." the Hokage commended.
The Hokage got shocked when she saw Ino standing in the door with a little boy on her right hand side.
"It's been so long, Tsunade-sama." Ino commented.
"Yeah. It's been almost 8 years, Ino, how are you?" Tsunade inquired.
"Fine. I think a better woman than before. How's Konoha?" Ino asked back.
"It's been the same, so whose the boy in your side?" the hokage questioned.
"I am Yamanaka Hitoshi." the boy introduced himself.
"he look exactly like his father. But the only difference is, he looks cuter than Sasuke.." Tsunade observed in her thoughts.
Tsunade noticed the forehead protector on his forehead; it indicates that he is a ninja from Suna.
"So are you a Genin?" Tsunade interrogate him.
"I am a Chuunin." Hitoshi correctly plainly.
"I guess you're a genius." Tsunade articulated.
"Hn." he snapped.
Tsunade chuckled.
"His attitude is the same as his father as well. No one can deny that he's the son of Sasuke." she uttered in her mind.
Tsunade opened her drawer and pulled out a forehead protector of Konoha.
"Here." she gave to him the forehead protector..
"What's that for? I already have one, if you haven't noticed." the boy muttered.
"I know you already have one but in case you hadn't notice, you're now a Konoha shinobi." Tsunade shot back.
"Can I think about it? Cause kaa-san and I had a deal, if I got bored here in Konoha, I am gonna go back in Suna." The boy vocalized.
"Fine, but keep the forehead protector for me." Tsunade asserted with a smile.
He did say nothing but he kept it.
"Uh... Hitoshi you can explore Konoha if you want to, cause I'm gonna talk to Tsunade privately. Go back here later..." Ino affirmed as the boy walk out to the office.
"Are you planning to tell Sasuke about him?"
"Well, not really, I am gonna make him guess. And all of us knew that sooner or later everyone will know about it."
"Yeah... He looks like Sasuke in any angle. Did he know about his father?"
"No, I didn't tell him anything about his father. And it looks like he wanna know some things about his father but he's scared to ask."
"So, how he interacted in the people in Suna especially in Sand Siblings?"
"Well, he's fine, he got a lot of friends, and Hitoshi and Gaara are pretty close, Gaara was his godfather. Even Kankuro's taking care of him especially when he was a baby. Moreover, Temari, she's the one care about him a lot because she's his godmother, but Temari's pretty busy now because she's now a mother of 6 years-old kid. I know you know that because Shikamaru's the father.," she said.
"Yeah, I knew that, and Nara complained how pained in ass become a father."
Ino giggled.
"Does Nara know about your child?"
"Well, he knows about him, because he's going in Suna back and forth because for his son. Well, we told him about Hitoshi and we told him to keep that as a secret."
"I see, so are you know ready to go back in your work as a medic-nin and head of Interrogation?
Ino nodded.
"Are you ready to face Sasuke?"
"Maybe yes. I think about this for a long time. He must at least know about him and I don't care if he will acknowledge him as his son or not.."
"Did he already activate his Sharingan?"
"Yes. Both eyes. But he haven't specialized the Sharingan yet."
Tsunade said nothing.
"Where's the gang by the way?"
"At the Ichiraku's as usual.."
"I miss them.."
"I know that... they're like your brothers and sisters"
"How's Kitsuki?"
"He's like his father, his mouth is annoying than his father. And stubborn as Naruto as well.."
"Maybe I would introduce Hitoshi to Kitsuki."
"That would be nice."
Someone knocked the door..
"Come in, Hitoshi..." Tsunade said.
"Maybe I am gonna go to Ibiki-sensei now, thanks for your time, Tsunade-sama." Ino uttered as she bowed her head.
"Enjoy your life here in Konoha." Tsunade told tem.
After they gone in Tsunade's office, they go to Ibiki's.
At Interrogation office…
"Can I come in?" Ino asked.
Ibiki's shocked moreover surprised.
"Ino's that you?"
"Who do you think? This beautiful woman will always be unique." Ino joked.
She gave him a hug.
"How are you?" Ibiki inquired.
"Fine and better woman. I guess."
"So this little boy supposed to be your son?"
"Well yeah, he's Hitoshi."
Can'tdenythat he's an UchihaIbiki said to himself.
"I am crowning you the Interrogation, again." Ibiki said to Ino.
"What if I said no?" Ino questioned.
"I don't leave you a choice. Like it or not you're the head of Interrogation... again."
"Fine, you're still the Ibiki-sensei that I knew, never leaves me a choice.." Ino alleged with smile.
"You'll start tomorrow."
"Yeah I know... Ibiki-sensei, I am gonna go now, I need to say hi to the gang.."
"See you tomorrow."
They walked out at the Interrogation.
They go to the Ichiraku's.
At the Ichiraku's…
She's shocked. The Ichiraku she knew is different than what's she seeing right now.
Guess what? The Ichiraku now is more like a huge restaurant... not that huge though. But it looks better.
She entered in Ichiraku with her kid.
"Hey guys.." Ino vented to them.
"INO! "
"I-ino-chan?"
"Ino-pig!"
"Ino? What a drag.."
"Oi Ino."
"..Ino"
There's a lot of expression that came from them.
"What's up, pig?" Sakura asked.
"I'm perfectly fine, forehead." Ino answered with genuine smile.
"It's been 8 years, Ino." Kiba said.
"Yeah. It's been awhile." Ino voiced.
"So who's this kid?" TenTen appealed.
"My child, he's Hitoshi." Ino retorted.
"Wow. He's HOT." Mokuno noticed, she's the child of Kiba and Hinata. She's 6 years old. She got Hinata's Hair and it's long but she got Kiba's eyes. She got Kiba's attitude. In short, she's a bossy! So too bad, she doesn't have a Byakugan cause she's an Inuzuka.
"Yes, agreed to Mokuno. He's cool, as in handsome." Izumi agreed to Mokuno. She's the daughter of Lee and TenTen, she got a shiny black hair that tied in two buns but NOT a bowl cut. And she got a chestnut eyes as her mother. She didn't inherit any of her parents' attitude..
"Hey stop that, you two are too young for that." TenTen said.
"IT'S FINE MY LOVELY WIFE. THAT ONLY MEANT THAT MOKUNO-CHAN AND OUR CHILD ARE BECOMING MORE YOUTHFUL..." Lee conveyed with tears in his eyes.
"Okay. Oto-san, that is so enough, you're scaring us." Izumi complained.
"Shino-oji, where's Kon-kun anyway?" Chouya asked. Kon's the child of Shino and Hana, he's 7 years old, before Ino left the Konoha no one knew that Hana's 3 months pregnant. He looks exactly Shino except the color of the hair. His hair is moreover brown and he got sunglasses as well. He's quiet too like his father.
Chouya's the daughter of Chouji and Ayame, she's 6, but she's not fat, Chouya's thin because she's concern to her body even though she's just a kid. She got the color of Ayame's hair and Chouji's eyes.
"Maybe he's with Kitsuki." Shino replied dryly.
"so Ino whose the father?" Naruto asked curiously.
"..Secret." Ino uttered playfully.
"If you're asking me he looked like..." Sakura cut out by Ino.
"So Hitoshi, are you hungry?" Ino inquired her kid.
"Not really." the boy enunciated coldly.
"How old is Hitoshi anyway?" TenTen asked.
"7." Ino retorted.
"Is he already a genin?" TenTen questioned her once again.
"No. He's a Chuunin actually." Ino answered plainly.
"Wow. He's really a genius, ain't he? Oh my flipping God... he's just my type." Mokuno declared.
"Back off, Mokuno. He's MINE! " Izumi objected..
"Kaa-san, I am gonna go outside for some fresh air, it's annoying right here." Hitoshi uttered as he stood up.
Ino just smiled.
"He reminds me of someone." Sakura said as she's eyed on Sasuke..
"Sure he do." TenTen said.
"That kid, is actually just looks like meIs that kid mine? I mean, he's hair, his eyes, the way he talks. I need to ask Ino about him Sasuke thought.
"So how's Shikazu?" Shikamaru asked referring his 6 years old son in Suna. He got a pineapple hair style like Shikamaru's and he got Temari's eye. He's lazy and genius too like his dad.
"Your child is fine. Well, he's disappointed because Hitoshi is moving here." Ino answered him.
"Well about Hitoshi, why you didn't tell us about him?" Kiba questioned.
"You see I am faraway and I'd been very busy in Suna." Ino retorted.
"Ino-hakubo, did he like someone?" Izumi inquired, blushing.
"Actually, Hitoshi is not open to me. Well there's a lot of girls out there that admire him but he find them annoying." Ino said with genuine smile.
"That brings back memory, Ino-pig!" Sakura said, as she referring the fight between Ino and her when they were children.
"It does, forehead. Fighting over Sasuke, remember? And Sasuke will call us, annoying!" Ino explained.
Hitoshi entered in Ichiraku's again because he thought, he already got some fresh air.
"Any problem, Hotoshi.?" Ino appealed the kid.
"Kaa-san do you have free time tomorrow?" Hitoshi asked back..
"Why?" Ino raised an eyebrow.
"Can you tour me, here in Konoha?" Hitoshi requested.
"Well, I do have a free time but that won't be long enough to explore Konoha." Ino muttered.
"If you want, I am the one who'll tour you!" Izumi offered.
"No! Don't listen to Izumi, I can tour you, Hitoshi-kun, I have all day free tomorrow." Mokuno said to him with I-am-so-cute smile.
"If you two hadn't remembered all of us do have class in the academy tomorrow." Chouya stated.
"One absent won't be a pain..." Mokuno said.
"Forget it." Hitoshi whispered with I-am-so-annoyed looked.
"Well maybe, we have to get going cause Ibiki-sensei gave already my work." Ino explained as she stood up.
"Really? Creepy-sensei's rushing you, ain't he?" Naruto appealed..
"Kind of like that. Bye… I have to go. Hitoshi must be tired too." Ino smiled.
Ino left with Hitoshi.
"Do you know about Ino's child, Shikamaru?" TenTen asked...
"Yes. I knew about Hitoshi. Ino and Temari told me about Hitoshi." Shikamaru answered lazily.
"How come yah didn't tell about it?" Kiba questioned.
"Because Ino asked me to hide that fact. She told me that she's the one who'll tell the gang. And it's troublesome if I disagree to her." Shikamaru uttered in I-am-so-bored tone.
"So do you know who's the father?" SASUKE inquired.
"Yeah. but I won't tell any of you. You'll find that sooner or later." Shikamaru retorted
I can't just tell to Sasuke that he's the fatherIfI will tell him that he's Hitoshi's father, Ino will kill meAnd I know that Sasuke already suspicious because Hitoshi just look like himShikamaru muttered to himself.
"Why you can't tell us?" Naruto asked.
"Ino will kill me for sure if I'll tell who the father is." the Nara boy genius appealed.
"Yeah. Ino's too violent. As Shikamaru said sooner or later we will know about Hitoshi's father." Chouji agreed.
Next Day…
They met up in Ichiraku's as usual.
"I thought you have work today?" TenTen asked.
"Ibiki-sensei gave me a break." Ino let out a sigh.
"Where's Hitoshi?" Sasuke inquired.
"He's with Rishi, Rishi's touring him around. They're getting along, though." Ino said. Rishi was the kid of Anko and Kakashi.
"I see." Sasuke replied.
"Ino, why don't cha tell us whose the father?" Naruto questioned.
"Because I don't want to. All of you will know about it in the future." Ino replied annoyed.
"Why don't we play a game? I will gave a characteristic about Hitoshi's father and you will just answer 'yes' or 'no'." Kiba replied.
"That's a good idea, Kiba.." Naruto congratulated Kiba.
"So how many question?" Ino appealed.
"10 questions." Kiba retorted.
"That's a lot... just seven questions." Ino complained.
"Fine." they agreed.
"Is he a jerk?" Kiba asked.
"Well before yes, but now, no." Ino replied.
"Did he abandon you?" SASUKE asked.
"No." Ino retorted.
"Is he hot?" TenTen asked.
"Well yeah..." Ino said.
"Is he an idiot?" Naruto inquired.
"Do you think I will let some idiot take advantage on me? Well he's not an idiot." Ino answered.
"Is he a ninja?" Chouji asked.
"Yes." she said simply.
"Does that guy love you?" Sakura questioned.
"I guess no." Ino replied as she looked down.
"Is that guy still alive?" Kiba inquired again.
"..Yes. I THINK!" Ino retorted sarcastically with that-is-so-common-sense tone.
"Is he from Suna?" Naruto asked.
"Hey! That's enough, you asked me already 7 questions." Ino complained.
"My bad... I don't know that it's already seven." Naruto stated.
"I know that you're an idiot but I didn't know that you don't know how to count even 1-10." Kiba joked.
"Well guys I have to go now... my brake is over... so just guess. Okay?" Ino uttered with playful smile on her lips.
"That's so not fair. You have to tell us... we're your friends, aren't we?" TenTen said..
"Yes. TenTen is so absolutely right, you have to tell us, pig!" Sakura spitted!
"Just tell us, where the hell where that ninja come from? Is he from Suna?" Naruto inquired.
"Yah told us we will find out who the hell was Hitoshi's father sooner or later. Why don't yah tell us, right here, right now.?" Kiba stated.
"Actually I am not planning to say this to no one. Because as I said earlier that guy didn't love me." Ino answered as her eyes is kind of sad.
"Fine. We don't have a choice but to wait." Kiba verbalized.
Ino left.
"Um… please don't rush her. It is hard for her to tell the truth because as she said. The guy didn't love her." Hinata pleaded.
"Sigh. Maybe Hinata's right. We don't need to rush her... it's not the end of the world." TenTen orated.
"I just don't get it. How does Hitoshi made if that guy doesn't love her." Sakura spoke.
"Did Ino seduce him?" Kiba appealed.
"Nah... Ino's not that desperate." Shikamaru opined.
"Yeah... she's not that class of woman even though she's loud-mouthed." Naruto agreed.
