Chapter 14….enjoy!
It has indeed been three full months, Arienne sat near the fountain of Hyuuga home, a girl about her age stood near, it was Hinata.
"So . . . you're . . . Neji's . . . Girlfriend . . .?" Fiddling with her fingers, Hinata stuttered, Arienne looked over to her. "Yeah, may I ask who you are?" Arienne was curious, but knew she was a Hyuuga. "I'm . . . Hinata . . ." she replies her name; she stopped fiddling for only a moment.
"Hello Hinata, it was nice meeting you. I am Arienne Hatake." Arienne's hand dipped into the water, bringing her hand up as the sparkling blue fountain water ringed back into the fountain from in between her fingers.
"The water is nice, isn't it?" asked Arienne with a gentle smile. The wind was blowing North and into Arienne's face, Hinata was silent, not a word was coming from her, she watched Arienne from the corner of her eyes every once in a while.
Has she gained weight? Thought Hinata, Arienne looked up at the sky with a smile, she sighed.
"Are you alright Arienne nee-san?" Hinata finally spoke out, looking at her cousin's girlfriend.
Neji-kun seems to really like Arienne, but it would seem so. "The tide rises, the tide falls, the twilight darkens, the curlew calls." Arienne than hummed and Hinata was amazed. "That was . . . amazing." Hinata smiled, but it was faintly.
"I feel a little ill." Arienne put her own hand on her forehead.
"You should see Shizune-san." Hinata suggested, also to take Arienne to see her.
"I hope I will." Arienne stood to her feet, the shirping of the birds could be heard, Hinata began to walk. "It's this . . . way."
Shizune had recorded things down on paper, than looked over at Arienne. "You're not running a high temperature." She said, than performed other examinations to see what's going on with her body.
Shizune gasped with a smile.
"Well my dear, you're pregnant!" with that, Arienne jumped to conclusions. "WHAT!?!?" Arienne was indeed, panicking and didn't know what to do now, what will she say to Neji or her father? "I'm heading home . . ." Arienne walked out of the room and exited the hospital.
Arienne walked out the leaf village and sat down under a tree. I feel so lost, I don't know how to handle myself. Arienne lay down on the fresh grass, falling asleep.
Neji as returning to the village as he saw Arienne lay asleep under a tree, he looked around than came and sat at her side, pulling to lay her on his lap, keeping a hand on her.
What is she doing out here alone? Neji looked down at her, stroking his fingers through her white hair, he was falling asleep, not wanting to leave her alone out here.
As soon as the sun rose the early morning, Arienne had awakened, she was cold, but felt a little warmth, and she saw Neji.
Did he stay out here all night for me? Arienne wondered she kissed his cheek. "Neji? Wake up." Arienne called to him, he woke up after a moment. Neji brought Arienne closer to keep her warm.
"Are you . . . . Ok Arienne?" he asked concerned, thus, he was still quite tired, he yawned. "Yeah." Arienne gripped onto him, staying close for he was warm.
"You can stay in my apartment you know. You can call it ho-"
"Neji . . .I'm pregnant."
With that, Neji fully woke up, speechless.
"Well . . ." Neji only said, he hadn't a clue of what to say. Arienne looked down at the ground continuously until pulled into a hug.
"Oh Arienne . . ." Neji whispered, kissing her cheek, Arienne tightened her arms around him which caused him to hold her tightly.
"Needn't worry Arienne, I'lll take care of you." Calmly said by Neji.
