Chapter 10-Three's A Crowd, Four's A Party!
Shikamaru looks at Naara and starts to walk away when Sasori asks him to wait.
Shikamaru turns around and quietly waits to hear what the man has to say.
Sasori looks at him very seriously and asks him, "Why are you doing what she tells you to? Please take her with you. I am tired of babysitting and she is very demanding."
Shikamaru answers, "Look, if you think she is scary, imagine her mother, who is gonna hurt me for not forcing her back with me."
"Hmm, well, can you at least watch her for a little while? I just want a cup of tea from the kitchen and she is very sneaky. Then you can leave and head back to the village, ok?"
Shikamaru is a little bit scared now, but just nods his head.
Naara looks at him and then yells, "Ugh, how troublesome!"
Shikamaru stares at her for a moment and laughs. "That's my line, silly child."
Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
At the restaurant, Ino decides it's time to leave, so she walks to the door.
Waiting at the exit is Itachi. She looks at him and then immediately shouts, "Where's my baby?!"
Itachi looks at her and begins to lift his arm up almost as if to grab her. Unfortunately, Ino jumps back and tells him not to touch her.
In a very low voice he starts to tell her, "Lower your voice and walk with me."
She looks afraid, but starts to walk anyway, as if she couldn't control herself.
"Itachi, what have you done to my daughter?"
He starts to answer. "…Your daughter is fine. Naara is not kidnapped. She knows why she is with me. I am protecting her and I cannot stay and explain because I need to be there to protect her. I will return her home on November 1st. Do not argue with me. I am trying to save her life."
"May I see her?" Ino pleaded.
"Hmm, I will then have to move her again, but just so you know and won't bug me later, come, I will take you there…but only you."
They both reach the shrine where Itachi lives and enter through the back door. There, they see Sasori sipping tea. Itachi stops and yells at him. "Where is Naara? You left her alone?"
Sasori immediately stands. "No, she is not alone. She is in the next room."
Itachi glares at him and then threatens to kill him if something has happened. As they walk through the house, they hear voices.
"Who is with her?" Ino whispered.
Itachi is now walking very quickly and when he opens the curtain, there is Shikamaru with Naara sitting on his back asking him to run around the room again!
Ino stared in shock, mouth wide open. "What the--what is going on here?!"
Shikamaru looks as surprised as Ino. "Um, the guy he made me baby-sit. Very troublesome, but it's your daughter so of course I would say ok."
Naara runs over to where they are standing and then asks Itachi to pick her up.
He looks at her and then lifts her up.
Ino is now getting super pissed. She had been roaming for days looking for her baby and doesn't even get a hug or kiss?
Just then, Naara pulls herself down and hugs her mother's leg. "Momma, I am sorry, but I cannot leave with you. Please go and protect Hinata. She is in a lot of danger and so is Rose. I will be fine. Tell papa too."
Shikamaru and Ino begin to leave, but when they open the door, Orochimaru is standing outside.
Itachi grabs Naara and leaves through a secret door.
Sasori grabs Shikamaru and Ino, shoving them through a tunnel in the wall.
Just as he walks over to take care of Orochimaru, he looks at him and notices he is tied up. "What happened?"
Deidara laughs. "Don't worry, bro. Just finish your tea. I took care of it."
"Hmmm, thanks. I think I will. I owe you huge thanks, Orochimaru. Because of you, the spawn is gone!"
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hinata is now at a new house with Tenten and Rose.
Rose keeps staring at Hinata and finally speaks. "Hinata, why have you not told Naruto about the baby?"
Hinata blushes so deeply it almost looks painful. "I can't…" She responded before she even thought about it.
Tenten grabs Hinata and just stares at her. "What is Rose talking about?"
Hinata slowly starts to respond. "Tenten…please sit down…Ever since Naruto asked me to marry him I have been very…excited. I found out 4 months ago I was going to have a baby and been trying to tell him…but he was so excited about planning a wedding and making everything perfect that I haven't had the chance to tell him. Tsunade claims my baby should be born the second week of November so I still have a couple weeks."
Tenten is carefully studying Hinata. After a few moments of silent confusion, she finally yells, "Omy g-d! That's why you've been wearing the kimonos! We were all wondering what happened to your clothing and just thought it was traditional. Why haven't you told anyone?"
Hinata just shook her head and replied, "When Sakura told everyone she was having a baby, everyone was so happy and kept saying her and Lee deserved a baby because they were married. Naruto and I aren't married yet. Plus, what would my family think? I needed us to be married and then I will tell everyone. But-but---"
Rose finishes her sentence, "Everyone who shouldn't know, knows. Orochimaru wants to kidnap Hinata and steal her and Naruto's baby. How can Naruto save and protect you if he doesn't know?! He is protecting Sakura thinking her child is next to be born and…………
Neji walks in and the room becomes silent.
Everyone went silent.
"What?!" Neji asked. "I don't get a hug from my baby girl?"
Rose runs to her papa and yells how much she loves him. Then she looks at Hinata. "Tell him!"
Hinata looks at Neji and starts to cry.
Neji walks over and holds her. "What's wrong?"
Tenten and Rose step back and Hinata begins to open her Kimono.
Neji is confused and a little scared right now. He doesn't know what she is gonna do.
Hinata tells him to look at her.
Neji falls to his knees. "Hinata! When did this happen?"
Hinata responds, "Only you three know."
Just then she looks over and there is a 4th person.
It's Lee and he is in shock.
"Lee, please keep my secret until I tell Naruto. He still doesn't know."
Lee whispers, "You are so beautiful, and I am sorry for looking at you. That baby will be so beautiful…just like its mother."
Everyone in the room is extremely quiet.
IiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiI
Naruto is walking around just thinking and questioning the current events.
Could Hinata be 'with-child' and not have told me? Is Orochimaru planning on kidnapping her after our honeymoon, hoping she will be with child? Is he stealing Sakura's baby, until a new one with stronger family ties is born? Does he not know Sasuke can never father children?
Just then a man walks up to Naruto. He is dressed in a cloak with many red clouds.
Naruto jumps back and tells him to identify himself.
The man pulls off the cloak and to Naruto's surprise, it is his double, only older looking.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked.
The man responds, "Listen, I am here to help you and my grandchild. I am going against my mission for you."
"Grandchild? Are you Gaara's father?"
"No. I am not."
"Neji's or Tenten's?" Asked Naruto.
"No."
"Then who are u?"
JjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjJ
Naara wakes up in a little cottage. "Itachi, where are you?!"
Suddenly, Itachi walks into the room. "I am here and so is Tobi."
Tobi leans over and touches her forehead. "Are you feeling ok?"
Naara leans over. "No. I'm not."
Itachi starts to tell her. "You have a fever. It's common in this country. Too much water in the mist village and the humidity must be giving you allergies."
"Wow," Naara exclaimed. "You're pretty smart."
Itachi looks at her and gives a small smile before returning to his icy stare. "From now until I return you, it will be just the three of us."
Naara is extremely happy. "I like Tobi!"
Itachi turns to look at her and she smiles shyly. "I love you too, Itachi."
Itachi turns to leave the room without saying a word.
