Chapter V-Naara and Rose: The Story Unfolds

"Neji? Neji, where are you?" Tenten is getting really upset. "Neji, please answer. Where the hell is Naruto? Where is Neji?" No one is answering.

Suddenly, Hinata comes into the living room and ask her what is wrong.

Tenten responds, "They said they needed to talk but now no one is answering."

"Oh? Its ok. Come, let's have a cup of tea and talk, ok?"

Hinata and Tenten sit with Rose in the kitchen to have some tea.

Rose is very excited that she can have tea with the women.

Hinata starts to explain, "It's ok, I'm sure the boys are just talking things out. Last night was very strange."

Tenten just stares at Hinata. Then slowly she whispers, "I agree, even I was acting really weird last night."

"You want to talk about it?" Hinata asked.

"No, not right now, lets just relax and drink this wonderful tea."

Naruto and Neji are now sitting on the floor just staring out the window.

"Did you see him?" Naruto questioned Neji.

"Yes, I did. Now you understand, right?"

"But!" Naruto got up and yelled, "Why did he do this to Sakura!" All of a sudden again, Naruto's pain starts. "I promise I won't tell, but why are my headaches worse?"

Neji gets closer to Naruto. "Itachi. That is what is wrong with you. Your head hurts because of his illusionary jutsu."

Naruto looks at Neji very strangely. "Itachi?" Hmm, Neji doesn't know. "Ok, Neji, let's get you to your wife and daughter. "But first, I need a favor." Said Naruto.

"What is it?" Neji replied.

"I need you to bring Rose back over and let her stay a couple of days. Will that be ok?"

Neji looked at Naruto. "Um, I don't know. Itachi is dangerous and I don't know what he wants with Rose. Rose has no special abilities, so what could he want with her?"

Naruto again, zoned into deep thought. Why am I the only one that knows these things? Rose is very special. She has many abilities. And Itachi? Well, whatever.

Naruto then answered Neji. "I promise you she will be safe. I'm having Naara over too. They have become good friends and are beginning to respect each other. Plus, we are having a surprise guest tomorrow and I want the girls here to see him."

"Ok, ok. I will see you tomorrow and let her stay but only a couple of days. On Friday, after your party, she comes home with us. I miss my daughter!"

"Ok, we agree. Thanks Neji."

AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaA

Neji walks into the Kitchen where the girls are done with their tea. "Ready to go, Tenten?"

Tenten runs over and hugs Neji. "I was so worried!"

Neji just looks at her. It's ok, honey. Let's go home. Rose, come along. We're going home."

Rose stood straight up and said, "NO! I don't want to leave."

Neji walks over to Rose and gently pulls her close. "It's ok, baby. We're going home to get you a couple of things so you can stay with Naruto till Friday, ok? Now, let's go. We have lots to do."

Rose ran to her mom and they left together to go home.

BbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbB

Hinata walks over to where Naruto is sitting, "Naruto, what's wrong?" She asked, sounding concerned.

Naruto just stared out the window, and then just smiled. "There is nothing wrong, Hinata. We are getting married soon. I couldn't be happier."

Hinata blushed, and then they just hugged.

"Naruto? I know you don't want to burden me, but please let me help you. I want us to trust each other." Hinata is trying really hard not to sound pushy, but she obviously knows something is not right.

Naruto again just stares out the window, then slowly begins to speak. "Rose is a very special little girl. She is both Neji and Tenten."

Hinata just nods and Naruto continues.

Rose has beautiful black hair and your eyes, Hinata. They are beautiful, just like yours. I see you when I look at her. She is quiet and sensitive. Very shy, just like you."

Hinata is now blushing. "Oh, Naruto, stop. Rose is beautiful like her mother."

Naruto goes on, sort-of ignoring Hinata because in his mind, she is his beautiful goddess.

"Naara is also a beautiful little girl too. Hinata, who do you think she looks like?"

"Well, Naruto, it is strange, but she has Gaara's eyes. They are a bit creepy, but very deep. Her hair is beautiful, too. Long, straight, and bright red. I think she is mostly Gaara, but that hair style and the way she is superior to all is more like Ino. To be honest, Naara and Rose remind me of Sakura and Ino. Best friends, but rivals all at once. Only difference is for them, they want your approval, not Sasuke's."

Naruto turned a light shade of pink. "I love them and hope they will grow up knowing how much. They will never have to feel the emptiness that Gaara, Sasuke, and I shared as children. They are safe from the loneliness."

"Naruto?" Hinata is now very shy and almost looking embarrassed. Naruto turns his head to look at her with a questioning glance.

"When can we have a baby?"

Naruto looks at Hinata, and almost like he didn't understand, just stood there.

Then he fainted……

Hinata laughed and just let out a deep sigh. It's ok, Naruto. I can't believe I just asked that...

CccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccC

Ino and Gaara are at home.

"Naara, can you please tell us what happened at Naruto's?"

Naara looks around nervously. "Um, papa? I can't tell you, ok? Please forgive me."

Ino grabs Naara and sits her up on her lap. "Naara, you know you can trust us right? We know you have several abilities, and we trust you don't take advantage. We want to make sure you are safe. Please tell us if anything is wrong."

Naara looks at her mom. "Ok, mama. I had to use my sand to defend my self. The snake man was very scary."

Ino looks shocked. "The snake man! What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, Gaara drops to his knees. "OMG, No! Ino, we must leave tonight. We cannot stay in this house and Naara cannot go back to Naruto's. I must speak to him. They don't know."

Ino tells him to slow down. "We are not in danger. Naara, go and play in your room. Papa and Mama need to talk."

Naara goes into her room, and sitting on the floor is Itachi.

"Hello, Itachi, why are you in my room?"

Itachi, slowly lifts his hat. "I'm here to pick you up."

Naara whispers, "I can't go with you right now. Wait till tomorrow."

Itachi reappears right in front of her. "We need to leave now. You are in danger."

Naara just nods. "Ok, lets go. But, can I leave my mama and papa a note? They will be very worried."

Itachi takes her hand. "NO! Lets go before they come in."

DdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddD
