Only You – Chapter Eighteen
Hinata was currently trying to leave her apartment but Karin kept crying saying that she wanted to go with her.
"Karin wants to come with you" Karin begged Hinata as she latched onto Hinata's leg. Katsu and Hinata sighed as they looked at each other.
"Karin-chan, mommy has to go somewhere but I'll be back…ano…your father is here with you" Karin looked at Katsu who was grinning at her when she looked at him.
Karin pouted as she turned back to look at Hinata. "But Karin wants to be with mommy" Karin whined. Katsu sighed as he looked away slightly hurt that Karin didn't want to hang out with him.
"Don't you want to hang out with you're father Karin-chan?" Katsu asked as he looked at her. Karin shook her head still not letting go of Hinata.
"B-But if you don't stay daddy will be all lonely" Katsu sighed in a sad way. Karin's eyes softened as she looked at Katsu's sad face.
"Don't cry daddy" Karin let go of Hinata's leg as she ran towards Katsu. "Karin will stay with daddy if he doesn't want b-by himself" Katsu smiled warmly as he looked at her.
"Well it's settled now. You can leave now Hinata-chan" Katsu grinned at her. The female Hyuuga smiled as she nodded her head as she walked out the door.
When she left Katsu sighed softly. He liked Hinata so much and he knew that some part of her that she liked him as well. But then there was Sasuke…her first true love, someone that she really cares for. He doesn't want to get the way of Sasuke and Hinata but he doesn't want to give up on her either.
Karin looked at her father noticing his sad expression. "D-Daddy…? Are you okay?" She asked him in a worried tone as she tugged the bottom of his shirt. He looked down at her and smiled.
"Yeah…I'm fine Karin don't worry about it okay" He said as he smiled down at her. He then grinned as he picked her up placed her on his shoulders.
"Come let's go get some ice cream for the princess"
"Yay!!! Daddy is taking Karin to get ice cream" Karin grinned as she pointed towards the door. "To the ice cream man"
Katsu grinned as he opened the door. "Come on Princess Karin let's go" He said as he walked out the door with his daughter up on his neck.

As Hinata was sitting down waiting for Sasuke to come meet her she glanced over and saw Naruto walking. He stopped walking when he saw her as he grinned and walked towards her.
"Hi Hinata-chan! How are you doing today?" The still hyperactive blonde asked as he looks at her.
She smiled as she looks at him. Sure he has grown up over the years but he still was that goofy kid that she once had a crush on and loved. "I'm waiting for someone" She said as she looks up in the sky.
"Huh? Waiting for someone? Who is it?" He asked looking quite curious as to whom she was waiting for.
"…Sasuke…" She whispered as she glanced at the ground. Naruto eyes widened when he heard her mention Sasuke's name. He knew that things ended slightly badly for them some years ago. He never would have thought that Hinata would ever want to talk to him again after that break up.
Naruto actually wanted to get back with Hinata after the break between Hinata and Sasuke when that happened, but he refrained some doing so. He had thought that it would be better just for him and Hinata to be friends and nothing more.
"S-Sasuke…? What are you meeting him for?" He asked coming out of his shock.
"Sasuke-kun and I…are just trying to patch things between us"
"You mean that you two are thinking about getting back together?"
Hinata shook her head as she looks at him. "No…maybe…I'm not really sure" She said in a confused tone. She wasn't sure what going to happen when she met up with Sasuke today only time could tell.
Naruto stared at her for the longest. Sure he was engaged now but there will always be some love left in his heart that he still holds for her. He smiles as he looks at her. "Well good luck with…whatever is going to happen" He grins as he looks at her.
She smiles as she nods her head. "Thank you Naruto-kun" He still grins as he starts walking away.
"Well I have to get going now Hinata-chan see ya" He said as he walks away waving as he looks at her.
"Yo…" Hinata slightly blushed as she turned around to see Sasuke standing there with that 'I don't care' expression on his face. "So I see Naruto was just here…" He said looking up off at the blonde who was walking away.
"Ano…h-hai" She said as she looks at him. He glanced back down at her wearing a smile on his face. She smiled back as she looks at him.
"So shall we go Hinata?" Sasuke asked as he looks away from her. She nods her head as she walks to stand beside him. He smiles softly as he glances at her as they both began to walk. He misses her so much and hated the fact that he broke up with her because of Tsume. If that guy were to never get in the way of things between him and Hinata he would still be with her, heck they would be even be married right now if he were still with her.
He grabbed her hand as they were walking he noticed how she flinched a bit when he grabbed her hand. He looked over at her noticing that famous blush of hers that he loved so much.
"So Hinata…how is the kid doing?" He asked looking away from her.
"Ah Karin-chan? She is doing fine…she didn't want me to leave but Katsu said he'll watch her while I was gone." Sasuke eyes slightly widened when he heard his name as he narrowed his eyes slightly looking away from her.
"So…he's still there, huh?" She looks at him noticing his narrowed eyes as she too looked away nodding her head.
"Hai…he is…"
"So you like that guy?" He asked out of the blue. She blushes not knowing how to answer his question but she slowly nodded her head.
"H-Hai…I do have some feelings for him"
After Hinata had stated that it had become very silent neither of them saying anything as they walked towards the Konoha diner.
The Uchiha had known that Hinata had to have some feelings for Katsu but hearing her say it made him feel…jealous….
As they made they're way into the diner they took they're seats and looked at the menu. "So what do you think you're going to get?" Hinata asked to end the awkward silence.
He shrugged as he looks at the menu never glancing up at her. "I don't know" He mumbles.
"So much for trying to end this awkward silence" Hinata thought as she pouted and continues looking at the menu.
"Hinata…can I tell you something?" He then spoke causing Hinata to look up at him. She noticed how he looked uncertain of what he was going to say to her.
"Sure what's on your mind?"
"It's about…that day" He whispers making Hinata eyes widen as she looks away remembering that day like it was yesterday.
"What about it…" She asked as she looks away from him.
"Tsume…that guy is the reason I broke up with you" Hinata looks at him in a confused way.
"Nani? How is that? I'm not sure if I understand Sasuke-kun" Sasuke looks at her with a serious expression.
"Well…he threaten to kill you if we…well stayed together and I didn't want to see you get hurt Hinata. That guy was dangerous and I couldn't bare to see anything happen to you. So he told me to break up with you and that if I didn't he would kill you…so that's what I did"
Hinata stared at him in shock not knowing what to say. "Y-You broke up with me because of him? D-Demo Sasuke-kun Tsume is the type of guy that you should have just ignored…you shouldn't have let him get to you like that" Hinata stated as she looks at him.
He sighs. "I know…but that guy wasn't right like you said…unstable and I couldn't trust him and that's why I did that. I'm sorry Hinata I really am…I hated myself for ever breaking your heart like I did. I could understand if you hated me forever for it I just wanted to finally tell you the real reason for my actions that day" He said as he looks at her feeling a little relief for finally telling her after all those years.
The Hyuuga looks at him for a bit as she reaches out to grab his hand making him look at her with wide eyes.
"…Hinata…"
"I…forgive you Sasuke-kun" She smiled at him brightly. He looks at her with wide eyes shocked that he was going to forgive him. A smile started forming on his lips as he placed his other hand onto of hers.
"I'm glad…Hinata-chan" He says as he smiles at her.

Katsu was currently on the couch watching cartoons with Karin as he watched her laughing at the different scenes on the cartoon. He smiled as he looks at his daughter. All the while he was sitting there all he could think of was Hinata. His mind was wondering what she and Sasuke could be doing at that very moment.
He glanced over at the door when he heard someone knocking on the door. Karin didn't even seem to hear the knocking since she was so drawn into the cartoon. Katsu walked towards the front door and opened it to see Naruto's grinning face.
"Oh hello Naruto, what brings you here today?"
"Ah nothing much really, just visiting" Naruto glanced behind Katsu to see Karin. "Hello Karin-chan" He waved at the little girl.
Karin turned her head towards the blonde and smiled. "H-Hello…" She said while turning her head back to the cartoons.
Naruto smiled as he then turned his head back towards Katsu. "So you know that Hinata-chan is out with Sasuke…ne?"
"Yes I know…but I'm not jealous or anything like that if that's what you were wondering"
"You're not?" Katsu shook his head. "Nope because it's Hinata's choice on who she truly wants to be with. If she chooses Sasuke I would completely understand because I can tell that she still has feelings for that guy…"
"But what if she chooses you?"
A small smile appeared on his lips as he glanced at the floor. "Well I'm not going to lie…I would be very happy. I mean Hinata and me, we have a family now we're both parents of Karin" Katsu looked back at his daughter as he smiled softly. Naruto smiled at the male.
He could tell that Katsu was a very good person and would probably be the better male for Hinata but it wasn't his choice it was all up to Hinata.
"I see…well I have to go now. It was good seeing you Katsu" Naruto looked back at the little girl and grinned. "See you later Karin-chan, the next time I come here I'm going to bring you over and HUGE teddy bear just for you"
Hearing this caught Karin's ear as she jumped down from the couch and ran towards Naruto. "Really…mister man w-will buy Karin a teddy bear?" She asked. Naruto nodded as he smiled at her.
"Hai-hai I will…but call me Uncle Naruto, okay Karin" She nodded her head as she ran towards him hugging his leg.
"Okay bye-bye uncle Naruto" She grinned. Naruto and Katsu smiled as they looked at the young girl before glancing at each other.
"Well…I better get going" Naruto mumbled as he patted Karin's head. Katsu nodded while Karin took her place next to Katsu.
"Later" Naruto grinned as he walked out the door.
"Uncle Naruto is going to get Karin a teddy bear" She grinned as she looked up at her father. Katsu nodded and smiled.
"Hai-hai now let's go finish watching your cartoon, ne?" She smiled and nodded her head.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The day was coming to an end and Hinata was still with Sasuke. He glanced over at her and smiled happily. He was glad that he was in fact spending the day with the girl that he was once and still is in love with.
"I had a nice time today with you Sasuke-kun" She said with a bright smile.
"Hai…as did I" He paused for a moment as if he were thinking of something to say. "Hinata…if you were to choose me, would Katsu still be in the picture?" It was a question that had been in his mind all day now and he needed to know the answer.
"Well he is Karin's father and-"
"But I can be her new father" Sasuke stated as he interrupted her. Hinata shook her head as she stopped walking looking down at the ground.
"Iie…Katsu will always remain as Karin's father and no one will ever take that place from him" Sasuke looked at her in shock and wanted to say something about it but bite his tongue and decided not saying anything.
"But…if I were to choose you Sasuke-kun you too can be apart of Karin's life, don't think that I wouldn't want you to not be apart of her life…" Sasuke then looked up at Hinata and smiled softly.
"Arigatou Hinata-chan…" She nodded her head as she continued walking but stopped when she felt him grabbed her hand.
"I will not give up on you Hinata…" She smiled as she looked over at him.
She was still at a lost on whom she really wanted to choose. There was Sasuke who she was deeply in love with when she was deeply in love with when she was younger and apart of her still loves Sasuke. Then there was Katsu who was and probably is one of the sweetest guys that she has ever met. Ever since she first met him he has always been there for her for the good and bad, never letting her down. He was so caring and such a loving person and that's what she liked about him.
"Who should I choose? Sasuke or Katsu…?" Hinata thought as she walked side by side with Sasuke.
