hi hi hi hi!!! i wanted to freak out the readers, and therefore wanted to get more reviews. i hope i do, and by the end of the chapter, i will hopefully have as many as i had before


Naruto stood there gaping at the Hokage. He stumbled back a bit.

"We'll know for sure in about a day." She said, softer now that the explosion was over.

"She...the way I found her. God, that was too much blood." He whispered, forgetting that the woman was there at all.

"There normally is. Unfortunately, the semen(that's right, i think) that we found was so small that we can't say for sure if it was Kiba or not. We'll find out, though. This is the fifth time that she has brought something to my attention about this boy."

"And you have yet to do anything about it? How can you call yourself the Hokage?" Naruto seethed, and he stormed out of the hallway. He was set out on a personal mission, and there was nothing that could stop him. Well...almost nothing.

"Naruto-kun!" A familiar voice called out. Naruto sighed, and turned around. Sakura stood before him, dressed in her new kimono that she had worn on her date with Lee earlier.

"Hi, Sakura-chan." He said through clenched teeth. She hugged him, and he returned it stiffly.

"Have you seen Ino-chan today? Or Lee-kun? Or Hokage-sama? You did need to make a report, you know. You never were good at remembering those kind of things."

"I haven't seen Lee, or Ino, but I just came from the Hokage's office, and I am a bit busy, so if you don't mind." He turned around, his back to her, and continued his angry walk. Lee came up from behind Sakura, and snaked an arm around her waist. He had abandoned his bowl-cut, and his green jumpsuit for a more suitable. It was a basic tee shirt with jeans and normal ninja shoes. Of course, he had on the weights that slowed him down, but they were covered with the jeans.

"So, what's wrong with him?"

"I don't know, but I do know that whoever pissed him off is not going to be happy." She said softly, leaning into Lee's embrace.


Naruto was looking for Kiba, but so far had found no sign of him. Finally, as the sun was beginning to go down, he found a place to sit down in a tree, and rest. The Stamina King was worn out. He rested his head on a tree trunk, and thought again to how much everything had changed in the past five years he had been away.

All this had been so...routine when he had left. Now Sakura was with Lee, Ino was with Sasuke, Temari was with Shikamaru, and had moved here to be with him. He had no one, and was perfectly okay with that. Kiba was now raping all his ex-girlfriends, and had just raped Hinata.

Hinata had changed the most. It let him see the girl that has been hiding inside her all this time. The one that he knew was in there, somewhere. He was ten times stronger than he had been, he had learned to control the Kyubi, and was now looking for a certain dog loving piece of shit to kill.

All that was on Naruto's mind, at the time, was Hinata. She was so...beautiful. There was no getting past it. He had seen her naked twice, though the second time wasn't all that gracious. She was bold, strong, and now, pregnant. She was so young. Hinata had done a complete 180 in her attitude. He hadn't. He couldn't compare to her. Why did he care?


Hinata lay in a hospital bed, not happy at all. They had told her that she may be pregnant that morning, then they came in here and said it was a mistake! Make up your minds people! Naruto had seemed pissed when he left. He was going to kill Kiba before she did! That's not going to happen. Hinata began to stand, then she was pushed down by a gale force wind

"No." A forceful voice said. The voice belonged to Temari. She stood with her fan, a sly smirk on her face.

"Gah, why not?!" Hinata asked, trying to get up again. Again, Temari used her fan to hold the wild child down. Hinata blew a strand of hair out of her eyes, and settled back down into the bed.

"You can't leave until they find him."

"They won't find him, Temari-chan." Hinata replied bitterly. "But Naruto-kun will, and he will wind up killing him. I hate the guy, but I'm almost scared of what Naruto-kun will do. If I can find Naruto-kun before he finds Kiba, then I can calm him down." Hinata closed her eyes, and sighed.

"Do you still love him?" Temari asked quietly.

"Of course I do." Hinata said with a smile. "I just learned to keep my feelings down, and my priorities straight. Do you love Shikamaru-kun?"

Temari blushed, and made a lousy attempt to answer. All she ended up doing was telling Hinata her answer without putting a complete word together. Hinata laughed, and put a hand on the blonde's shoulder.

"It's okay. Have you told him yet?"

"N-no."

"Well then...go. Can I go and keep someone from dieing out there?"

"You don't want him to die? After all he's done. To me, to Ino-chan, Sakura-chan, Tenten-san? To you?"

"Yeah, I want him to pay, not die. And if he does," The next words turned Hinata's eyes icy, and Temari felt death's fingers play a tune up and down her spine. "I want to kill him." Temari looked at her for a moment, then shook her head, and stood, out of the girl's way.


Naruto had given up looking. All this recent thinking he had been doing was giving him a headache, and was wearing him out. He slid down to the ground, and pulled his knees up in front of him. He let his hands flop uselessly at the wrists, and he banged the back of his head against the tree behind him, eyes closed..

"You know, that's gonna give you a headache."

"I already have one." Naruto replied without thinking. Then his eyes flew open, and he jumped to his feet. Hinata stood before him, her hands on her hips, and a smile gracing her lips.

She wore knee-high boots, flat with kunai implanted in the heel for a quick kill. Her skirt was a light blue and...rather short, but the shorts underneath hid everything that called to be hidden. Her shirt was midriff bearing, black and had a blue tank top underneath. Her hands were covered with fingerless black gloves with a blue message written on them. Her long hair was tied back in a braid that fell to her waist. Naruto stared in shock at how much she had changed.

"Why are you staring like that?" She asked, tilting her head to one side.

"You...you look..." He was going to say "amazing" but he decided against it. "Why are you out here? You should be in the hospital."

"I wanted to get out of that damn place." She rolled her eyes, and sat down next to where Naruto was standing. He slowly sat down next to her. "But...you shouldn't be out of there in you...condition." He tried to place his words carefully. Hinata was going to have a bit of fun with this. He still didn't know that that was a false alarm.

"I know, but I just wanted to find and castrate the father." Naruto looked shocked for a moment, but Hinata continued her rampage about being "pregnant".

"The least he could do was stick around for nine months, don't you think!? I mean, I'm only eighteen! Give a girl a break!" Then Hinata laughed a little at how strained Naruto's face was.

"I'm not pregnant, Naruto-kun." She said softly.

"But, but, but."

"They were wrong." She smiled, and stood, reaching a hand down to him. "Let's go get something to eat, hmm?" Naruto smiled, and took the hand. Thrills went up Hinata's spine, and those old memories of love came flooding back to her. But he had never actually touched her before. A gentle flush spread across her face, but she smiled anyway.

"Ramen?" She asked.

"You pay?"

"We split it." She winked, and walked away, dropping Naruto's hand. He ran to catch up, and softly asked,

"So...your not pregnant?"

"No, Naruto. I'm not. And don't you dare go off to kill him without me, do you understand?" She asked in an icy voice, with her eyes cold as stone.

"Y-yeah. No killing without the shy, quiet girl to castrate the guy first. Got ya." Hinata smiled, and laughed at his description, and found, all of it was true.
