Mechanical Love ch. 18

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Naruto was at school and Hinata was at home, working. The car shop was coming along well and it was paying well. She couldn't work since she was pregnant but was helping with the finances of the shop. Hinata was lying in bed with the financial papers. She was going over them to make sure that everything was in order.

"If I pay this bill off then I won't have enough for this one" Hinata said frowning.

No matter how she looked at it. The money was coming up short. How could it be coming up short? It feels like they were missing money. Hinata was starting to think that someone at the shop was stealing money. A knock on the door snapped Hinata out of her thoughts. Daichi peeked his head through the slightly cracked door.

"Hey Daichi-kun, come in" Hinata said smiling.

Daichi smiled and climbed on the bed.

"What are you doing, mommy?" Daichi asked looking at the papers.

"Little work but something's wrong" Hinata said ruffling his hair.

"What's wrong?" Daichi asked frowning.

"Well I think someone might be stealing money because the money isn't adding up" Hinata said sighing.

"Can I help?"

Hinata giggled. She thought it was cute that Daichi wanted to help. What harm could it do to let him look?

"Sure why not" Hinata said smiling.

Daichi looked at the papers then started counting the money. He placed each stack of money on a bill. Daichi kept adding or subtracting from each stack and putting it on another stack. He sat back with a big goofy grin on his face.

"I think I solved your problem, mommy" Daichi said grinning.

Hinata giggled then looked at what Daichi. The smile on her face fell when she saw that each individual bill was paid with the exact amount of money. Hinata checked and double checked. Daichi figured out what she couldn't. She stared at Daichi.

"Daichi-kun, how did he know to this?" Hinata asked amazed.

"One of my old mommy's customers was really good with money and paying bills so he taught me some of his tricks" Daichi said smiling.

"Well um…thank you. You helped me a lot" Hinata said kissing him on the top of the head.

There was a knock on the door. Daichi got up to get it. He opened the door and saw a lady with bubble gum hair. Guess who?

"Does Hinata live here?" Sakura asked sweetly.

"Maybe and who are you, lady?" Daichi asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm a…old friend of Hinata and Naruto" Sakura said smiling.

Daichi noticed the slight pause in Sakura's sentence. He had to get rid of her.

"Well Lady, Hinata or Naruto isn't here at the moment so goodbye" Daichi said closing the door.

As he walked away, Sakura knocked on the door again. Daichi opened the door then slammed it in her face.

"Daichi-kun, who's at the door?" Hinata asked walking in.

"This weirdo that can't take a freaking hint" Daichi said frowning.

The knocking continues.

"Look we don't want your cookies"

Hinata shook her head and opened the door. She sees Sakura and instantly slams the door in her face.

"Hinata-san, please listen to me" Sakura said through the door.

"Daichi-kun, can please go in your room please?" Hinata asked sweetly.

Daichi nodded and went to his room.

"What do you want, Sakura?" Hinata asked frowning.

"I want to talk to you"

"Okay start talking" Hinata said folding her arms.

"I just came here to tell you that I'm sorry what I did to you and to Naruto. I don't expect you to believe me but I just wanted to tell that" Sakura said sighing.

Hinata raised an eyebrow and looked through the peep hole to see that Sakura had a sad look on her face. Hinata heard an 'I tried' and faint footsteps leaving. Sakura had left. Hinata didn't know what to do. Sakura just shows up to apologize. Why would she do that for? Unless she's trying to get back with Naruto? No, if she was then she would have gone looking for Naruto instead of coming here. Daichi came back in.

"Mommy, who was that?" Daichi asked curious.

"That was someone I knew from high school" Hinata said smiling.

A few hours later, Naruto walked in with his guitar and backpack. He smells ramen and walked into the kitchen. He sees a bow of steaming hot ramen and a note. Naruto reads the note.

Dear Naruto,

I and Daichi have to the park. I made you some ramen and I hope you enjoy it. We will be back in a little while.

Naruto smiled to himself and dug into the ramen. He was done with it in second and lets out a loud burp.

"That was delicious. Hinata-chan is an amazing cook" Naruto said rubbing his stomach.

Naruto washed the dishes and got started on his homework. He was getting better and Asuma said that he possibly introduce him to some people that could jump start his career as a guitarist. Naruto hoped that Asuma could get them to give him a shot then the door opens. It was Hinata and Daichi. Daichi had jumped and he kissed Hinata on the cheek.

"What are you doing, Daddy?" Daichi asked curious.

"Some homework" Naruto said smiling.

"You do homework?" Daichi asked surprised.

"Yea because it's my class and I plan becoming a famous guitarist" Naruto said smiling.

Daichi was beaming with amazement. Daichi decided to play with his toys.

"So how was your day?" Naruto asked looking up at Hinata.

"It was…interesting" Hinata said sitting on the couch.

"What was so interesting about it?" Naruto said smiling.

"Daichi helped with some financial stuff for the shop and um Sakura showed up today"

"She didn't try anything, did she?" Naruto asked frowning.

"She…wanted to talk" Hinata said confused.

"About what?" Naruto asked confused.

"She just said that she wanted to apologize then she left" Hinata said looking at Naruto.

"That's weird but we can't trust her" Naruto said bluntly.

"I know but I'm confused on why she did it"

"Whatever the reason is it can't be good"
