Last time:

"It's about our child, right?"

"H-how did you know?" She felt calm yet nervous as well. It didn't seem that Naruto was happy with the news.

A large grin grew on his face. "We're going to have a family!"

---

There was silence as Naruto allowed the information sink into his mind. Once it did, he cried out for joy. "We're staying! We're staying!"

A Dreamy Threat

She felt lonely, quite lonely in fact. Naruto spent more and more time with his mother, leaving her and the unborn child alone. She knew it was the best for him but was it so hard to give up a couple of minutes for an expecting mother?

She usually spent her morning making the most medicine she can. In the afternoon she would learn more about the clan. While Naruto was with his mother, she would talk to Mika. They mainly talked about the possibilities of Mika's mother's death.

It was the night time she enjoyed, when Naruto was back with her. It wasn't very late but he would still collapse onto their bed and sleep until training time.

Hinata was in her third month and she was starting to show. It was also when she saw what made Naruto so tired. Indeed the sword used a lot of chakra. The power of the sword was great. He was definitely on his way to become Hokage.

It was on the day Naruto was dismissed from his training when Hinata had learned the truth. Naruto was upset but very happy. He finally had time to spend with Hinata.

So, there they were, talking to each other. They're talk was mainly based around family. The question of why Mika wasn't training him was bothering her, until she asked it.

"Why isn't Mika-chan training you?"

His eyes, usually sky blue and filled with happiness, were suddenly filled with sorrow. "She found out what happened to her mother last night."

"What happened?"

"She told me that a clan had kidnapped her mother and raped her. It was done to expand the clan. It was unsuccessful so the clan tortured her till death. That was shortly after Mika was born."

Hinata was scared. Though Naruto was there with her, she was still frightened. Rape was one thing she had never hoped to hear again. Sasuke, the man she wished to never meet again. The memories still haunted her.

"Don't worry Hinata. I won't let anyone rape you again. I did promise that no sick bastard would dare lay a finger on you."

She felt safer as she fell into his arms. It was a feeling she couldn't get anywhere else.

Kajou, Naruto's uncle was still in control of the Land of the Whirlpool. Naruto still had training to do and Hinata couldn't as well. He was sick of the paperwork he had to do but he would complete it all…some day. Every day he thought about his dead wife and how he couldn't save her. However, it was what made him get through his day. His wife loved the uninhabited land the second she set foot on it. He went through the trouble of paper work to make sure that his wife would smile at what he had accomplished.

Kushina was getting better every day. She visited her brother once she was healthy enough to walk.

She entered the room but Kajou didn't seem to care. He just scribbled stuff on pieces of paper. She stayed silent as she grinned to herself. He would blow soon…

"That's annoying and you know that!"

Her grin grew bigger. "I love doing that to you. You just can't stand a silent room when someone is inside it with you. You're even worse than me."

"What is it?" he asked as he grumbled beneath his breath.

"I think we need to start producing ninja. Our land is weak but we aren't. The Uchiha clan may want to get rid of us or a certain other clan may want to take more ladies of our kind or maybe even Hinata. It may happen now and it can happen later. Creating a ninja academy would help us deeply in the long run. We are lucky to have Naruto with us."

"A ninja academy huh? I remember those days, when we were Konoha shinobi. Every mission was exciting except for those lower ranking ones."

Kushina smiled. "Yes, those days were probably one of the best. I've been hearing that younger children are suddenly having dreams of becoming ninja. Do you agree?"

"If Naruto can help that would be great. Where will it be held though?"

"It wouldn't hurt if it was held on the outskirts of the town. Would it?"

"I guess not."
"Then it is settled. It will begin in two months."

With that, she left the office and went back to her room, happy to feel like the boss again.

She hugged his arm tightly. She didn't know why but she felt she was being followed. Being a full fledged ninja, she shouldn't have been scared. What was it that scared her so much?

A hand, shadowed by the dark grabbed her arm. She held tightly to Naruto's arm but it just dissolved into mid air. She was pulled away easily and no mater how many times she shouted to Naruto, he wouldn't respond.

She was pulled into a dark room. The man held out something round, like a head. It was one. It looked liked Mika but it wasn't. It was her mother. She whimpered helplessly as the man laughed evilly.

"Do whatever I say and you won't end up like her."

"What are you going to do to me?" Tears were visible in her eyes.

"You shall bear my child. Our clan is small and it needs to grow. It needs to destroy the Uzumaki clan."

"B-but, I'm already bearing one."

"No you aren't."

She looked down at her stomach. She couldn't feel another living presence inside her. She activated her Byakugan, nothing. It was like the baby had disappeared.

"P-please," she begged. "Please don't do this to me." Her tears were streaming down her face. Her body went completely numb. He was undressing her. "Please." She felt so helpless.

---

"Naruto!"

He shook her mildly. He saw the tears, the dream she had wasn't a good one. "Hinata, wake up. It's only a dream."

Her eyes suddenly snapped open. They were filled with fear. "Naruto, don't leave me alone," she whispered. "Someone is after me."

Cliff hanger! Yay! I'm so proud of myself. I quite enjoyed writing this. The last chapter I had writer's block so I wrote anything I could write so that would explain why I didn't enjoy that chapter. Please review!
