Only You – Chapter Nineteen
The Uchiha was currently in his apartment staring up at the ceiling thinking about the Hyuuga female. He wanted a second chance with her so badly but had known that she held feelings for Katsu.
He had nothing against Katsu after all Katsu was like a friend to him but they were also rivals for Hinata and neither one of them wanted to lose to each other. He sighed heavily as he stood up and walked towards the window to look out the window. He was thinking about his day that he had spent with Hinata; a smile appeared on his lips as he thought about the female Hyuga.
"Hinata…"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Hinata was currently at work in the hospital. She was tired already and she hadn't even been there for at least an hour.
"Hinata-sama I didn't think you would be here until much later" Hinata smiled as she yawned.
"Iie…they called me in to work the earlier shift today" The nurse nodded her head as she smiled. "I see…they called me in as well" Hinata merely nodded her head too tired to even speak.
"Ohayo gozaimass" Katsu greeted lowly as he walked inside the hospital. The nurse and Hinata looked at his gloomy state. Hinata looked at the male in concern as she walked towards him while the other nurse decided to give the two their space as she left.
"What's wrong Katsu-kun?" Hinata asked as she touched his shoulder. Katsu looked down at Hinata as he then glanced away from her. "I'm being evicted Hinata-chan…" He sighed heavily.
"Na-Nani?" She said shocked as she stared at him.
"Yeah…I missed a couple of bills and well they're evicting me" He sighed. "I can't believe it; I won't have a place to stay. I mean I can't stay with my sister her house is full and my older brother doesn't even stay in Konoha…Gah!" He shouted out loud.
Hinata looked at him in concern; she wanted to help him somehow. "Katsu-kun…" He looked up at her when he heard her voice. "Move in with me" His eyes widened at the offer she was giving him.
"R-Really…?"
"Yes, I wouldn't mind besides…you are family" She smiled happily at him referring to how they both have a daughter. His smiled seemed to widen as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Thank you so much Hinata-chan! I promise when I move in I'll help you in every way I can" He stated to her as he kissed her cheek.
She blushed as she nodded her head. "You're welcome Katsu-kun. Karin-chan will be very happy to find out that you will be moving in with us" She said as she looked up at him.
"Um…but- ah never mind" Katsu mumbled as he shook his head. He was wondering what Sasuke would think if he were living with Hinata but decided not to ask about it. "I guess I can start packing later today, eh?" He smiled. She nodded her head. She was happy to know that Katsu was going to move in with her and Karin.
As the day went on Katsu couldn't stop thinking about how he would be moving in with Hinata. But thoughts also lingered back over to what Sasuke's reaction would be to the whole thing. He knew that Sasuke wouldn't be too happy about the whole thing; he then quickly shook his head.
"I shouldn't be thinking about what he would think of this whole situation. I should be happy that I'm in the lead and he isn't…I'm the one that's moving in with her. I'm the one that has a daughter with her. Even if she did choose him…I'll always still be there" Katsu thought to himself as he stared off into space.
Katsu wasn't the jealous type but he didn't want to lose Hinata to Sasuke. He wanted Hinata to be happy so he knew it wasn't his right to say 'choose me, I'm the better for you than he is'. He sighed sadly as he snapped out his thoughts to get back to work.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Katsu and Hinata were just not getting off from work, as they both walked out of the front doors of the hospital to be greeted by Sasuke. Katsu stared at Sasuke for a bit before looking back over at Hinata, he nodded at the both of them as he started to walk off leaving the two alone.
"K-Katsu-kun where are you going?" Hinata asked as she watched him make a halt in his step. He looked back and smiled weakly.
"Oh I just figured that you two wanted to be alone…so I-"
"Don't assume things like that baka" Katsu turned his head over at the Uchiha in shock. "Just because you see me around Hinata doesn't mean you have to leave. Yeah, we both are in competition to win her heart…demo you're my friend still Katsu so don't feel as if you have to leave whenever you see speaking with Hinata" Sasuke stated as he closed his eyes speaking in a calm tone.
Katsu stared at Sasuke in mere shock. He knew that the male was a very good friend of his but he thought that since they were rivals over Hinata that the Uchiha wouldn't want to have anything to do with him that much anymore. Katsu use to wonder why the stoic Uchiha wanted to be his friend, so he once asked Sasuke and to his shock Sasuke had told him that he reminded himself of Naruto at times. Sure Katsu wasn't that much of a goofball but he had his times when he would joke around. Katsu soon snapped out of his thought when he noticed that Sasuke was calling him.
"Katsu…"
"Ano Hai!" He answered rather quickly as he looked at the Uchiha. Sasuke stared at him for a bit as he then shook his head. "It's nothing, I was just thinking that's all" Sasuke stated as he then turned his head back over towards the female Hyuga.
"Well I guess I'll be seeing you later then, ne?" Hinata nodded her head as she looked at him smiling.
"Hai, I'll see you later Sasuke-kun" She stated as she watched him nod his head and walk off.
"You two had something planned for later today?"
"Hm. Oh no, well…yes. I had invited him to dinner" Katsu mouth shape formed an "O" as he looked at the female.
"Ano Hinata-chan, how do you think Sasuke's reaction will be when he founds out that I live with you?" Katsu asked, no longer able to contain that question in his mind any longer.
She began to think about his question, not really having an answer for it. Knowing how Sasuke is most likely he wouldn't like the idea that Katsu will be living with her but…seeing how they are somewhat good friends it would seem like Sasuke wouldn't mind. "Well, it's hard to really say for sure but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind it" She said with a bright smile gracing her features.
Seeing her smile like that brought a smile to his face as he nodded his head. "Okay then"
"Well shall we get to your house"
"Nani?"
"I'm going to help you pack your things" She stated with a giggle.
"Ah, okay then…"
"We'll have Naruto drop off Karin when we're finished with everything" Hinata stated.
"So Karin is with Naruto, eh?" Hinata nodded her head as she smiled. "Naruto offered to watch her and Karin-chan really wanted to go saying that he was going to buy her a giant teddy bear" Hinata giggled. Katsu smiled as he nodded his head.
"Ah yes he did say that" Katsu mumbled to himself as he began to walk while Hinata ran to catch up with him.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Ne, ne uncle Naruto, Karin-chan wants the GIANT teddy bear now" The little smiled widely as she jumped up and down while looking up at the blonde haired male. Naruto smiled ad he kneeled down and ruffled her hair.
"Don't worry Karin-chan your uncle will give you your teddy bear in a little while, okay?" She nodded her head glancing around the room. Naruto's fiancée currently wasn't at home but out working. He let out a soft sigh as he smiled to himself thinking about his fiancée. 'Chisa-chan…' He smiled to himself but was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard someone knocking on the front door.
"Hm. That's probably your mother Karin-chan" Naruto said as he glanced down at the younger girl who was now grinning wider than ever.
"Mommy is here!" She shouted out happily as she ran towards the door before Naruto could even reach the door as she opened it. Karin smile turned into a confused expression as she looked up at the male.
"Ano, you're not my mommy" She said with a slight pout.
The male merely looked up at the young girl while rising on eyebrow before looking back at Naruto. "This is Karin, ne?" He asked the blonde.
"Hai that's Karin" He replied. The male looked back down at Karin and smiled at her slightly as he knelt down to be at her level, thinking to himself that he must seem like a giant towering over her.
"I'm Hyuga Neji your mother's older brother" He stated as he looked at her. She looked at him with a surprised expression before looking at over at Naruto for confirmation that it was true. Naruto nodded his head noticing her expression as he smiled widely at her.
"So you're really K-Karin's uncle?" Karin asked as she whipped her head back towards Neji while was nodding his head.
"Yes I am" Neji then stood up as he looked at Naruto. "Naruto is Hinata-sama here?"
"No, she's hasn't gotten off from work yet. But she should be here any moment now" Naruto stated as he walked over towards his could to sit down. "Why do you ask?"
"Well…it's private. Hyuga matters…" Naruto pouted at the answer since he wanted to know more than what he was told.
Neji glanced down at the young girl noticing that she was staring at him. He sighed inwardly; he was and has never been good with children. He looked elsewhere hoping that maybe she would stop staring at him but he still felt her eyes on him. The male Hyuga glanced down at his watch as he groaned. "Hrm, I wonder what's taking her so long" He mumbled to himself.
Naruto snickered as he watched Neji shifted his body uncomfortable as Karin continued to stare at him. "What's wrong Neji? Don't know how to act around kids?" Naruto said in a teasing tone as he grinned at the stoic Hyuga.
"Tch" Was Neji only reply as Katsu and Hinata made an appearance behind him.
"Neji-niisan! What are you doing here?" Hinata asked in a shocked tone as she looked at her older cousin.
Neji turned behind to face Hinata to see Katsu there as well. He merely nodded his head at the male, he didn't really know much about Katsu only from what he had heard from Sasuke and the guy sounded like he was a good person. "Hinata-sama…" He's eyes seemed to have softened a bit before he began to speak. "Hinata-sama may I speak with you in private?" She slowly nodded her head while looking back over at Katsu who she hadn't even noticed slipped passed her to go sit on the couch next to Naruto to watch TV. She smiled to herself as she watched how good of a father he is to Karin as the younger girl sat in his lap laughing at a cartoon that they all were watching.
"Hai, you may Neji-niisan" She said as she looked up at him.
"How have you been doing? Ever since you moved out of Hyuga house things have been different" She sighed as she looked at him while shaking her head.
"Neji-niisan…are you trying once again to get me to move back in?" She knew that's what he was doing, since he has done it before time after time. Lie after lie first telling her that her father said she had to move back to even going as far as saying she was being set up for an arranged marriage. She placed her hand on his shoulder as she smiled sweetly at him.
"Neji-niisan I understand that you may miss me but I happy where I'm living now. I feel more freedom living out on my own more than anything"
"But Hinata-sama isn't it just you and that child living there? Someone could come and attack you two or maybe even worst they could-"
"Neji! That child's name is Karin and we're fine" Hinata snapped causing him to jump a bit as Katsu and Naruto turned slightly to look at the two Hyuuga's
"I'm sorry Neji-niisan…I'm very tired right now and I just want to go home and sleep" She yawned. He nodded his head while smiling at her understanding what she meant.
"Hai, it's okay. Go home and get some rest, I'll see you tomorrow okay?" He said as he started walking passed her towards and out the opened door. "Also make sure to visit sometimes…you know Hanabi misses you just as much as I do" He said as he looked back at the other nodding a farewell before leaving out of Naruto's apartment.
Hinata stared at the door for a few more minutes before turning back to Katsu. "Well we better head on home now" Katsu nodded his head as he started to stand up while picking up Karin as he flipped her over onto his back.
"Come on princess we must go back to our castle" Katsu grinned as Karin nodded her head.
"Yay! Back to the castle…wait!" She turned back to look at Naruto. "Karin wants the giant teddy bear now" She begged as she looked at Naruto.
He smiled brightly at her as he nodded his head while holding up one finger telling her to wait as he walked out the room and reentered the room with a giant black teddy bear with a red ribbon tied around its neck. "Here it is Karin-chan. Will you take good care of him?" Naruto asked her before handing her the teddy bear.
"Yes, yes Karin will take good care of Mr. Bear that Uncle Naruto brought for her" She smiled as she stretched out her arms so she could hold the bear. Katsu and Hinata smiled to themselves as they looked at they're daughter.
"Okay then here…demo you should let your father hold him until you get home okay?" Naruto said as he handed the bear to Katsu. He didn't want to give it to Karin seeing that he probably would have been hard for her to carry since the bear was so huge and she was on Katsu's back.
"Okay Karin will play with Mr. Bear when Karin goes home" She smiled as she yawned softly.
"Looks like someone is getting sleepy, let's get home now then" Hinata stated as she turned to look at Naruto. "Thank very much Naruto for watching Karin-chan for me"
"Ah, it's not a problem Hinata-chan. She's a very good girl so feel free to bring her by anytime"
She nodded her head as she then glanced over at Katsu while nodding her head letting him know that she was ready to leave.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Hinata smiled to herself as she laid the sleeping girl down in the bed putting her teddy bear close next to her. "Goodnight…Karin-chan" She whispered softly as she kissed the top of her forehead. She leaned away from her as she walked towards the door looking back over at Karin one more time before closing the door.
When she made it back to her bedroom she saw Katsu who looked as if he was just getting ready to climb into bed. She blushed while looking at his bare chest, he had seemed to have notice as he blushed and quickly climbed into bed. She giggled at his shyness as she walked towards her drawers pulling out her pajamas heading towards the bathroom to change.
As she was in there Katsu closed his eyes thinking to himself but his thoughts were soon interrupted when he felt Hinata slide into bed. "Ah Hinata-chan…?" She turned around to face him while lying down on her side.
"Yes"
"I know…I know that you love him" He mumbled as he glanced away from her. She looked at him narrowing her eyes a bit as she nodded her head. "Yes…I do love him and I love you too Katsu-kun" His eyes widened at this statement.
"H-Hinata…"
"But…I'm sorry…" She said in a whisper as she held her eyes shut trying to hold in her tears. Katsu knew right then and there who Hinata had chosen, he smiled weakly as he wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer towards him as he kissed her forehead.
"I sort of figured that's what you were going to say. But I just want you to know that I love you too Hinata and like I said I'll always be there for both you and Karin" He said to her while continuing to hold her feeling her still shaking while crying in his arms. He smiled to himself as he sighed softly.
"Please stop crying for me Hinata….i don't seeing you cry" She looked up at him as she sniffed trying to stop crying. He smiled as he leaned for ward and kissed her softly on her lips. She let out a tiny gasp seeming shock that he kissed her but she soon kissed him back with the same softness.
Katsu then leaned away from her breaking the kiss as he caressed her cheek while smiling warmly at her. "Goodnight…Hinata"
She smiled up at him as she slowly nodded her head while snuggling closer towards him as she rested her head on his chest. "Goodnight Katsu-kun" She whispered in a yawn as she closed her eyes.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Two weeks has passed since that day and Hinata had chosen Sasuke and Katsu always felt as if he were the third wheel whenever he was near the couple. Karin on the other hand was slowly getting use to Sasuke but didn't completely understand why her mother was hanging around Sasuke so much and not Katsu.
Hinata sighed for the fourth time in a row that day causing Sasuke to frown. "Look Hinata if you don't want to move in with me just tell me" He stated.
"No, no I want to move in with you…it's just Katsu-kun he-"
"Are you sure you still don't like that guy?" He asked with curiosity lingering in his voice. He noticed how she wouldn't look at him causing him to sigh as he grabbed her hand.
"Never mind don't answer that…" He mumbled as he looked away from her. He knew that she still had feelings for the guy but he also knew that she did in fact love him but her feelings for Katsu haven't left her. He thought maybe it was because they both have Karin and that's what keeps they're bond so close together. Of course Sasuke didn't want to take Katsu's place of Karin's father seeing that Karin is much closer to Katsu than she is with him.
He had asked Hinata to move in with him two days ago and she agreed but the look in her eyes when he asked her. "Right, she doesn't want to leave Katsu" He thought to himself. He remembered the day they both informed Katsu that she would be moving in with him, he seemed shocked and saddened but acted as if he was happy for us and said that it was fine.
Sasuke shook his head as he was still walking hand and hand with Hinata towards her home to start packing some of her things moving it to his house. Karin was originally going to come with them but instead she wanted to spend time with Naruto who she calls her uncle.
As the couple finally made it towards her house he watched her as she slowly unlocked the door opening it revealing Katsu who was sitting down on the house watching TV. His attention quickly turned from the TV towards Hinata and Sasuke as he smiled weakly.
"A-Ano…I was coming to start packing my things" She mumbled. She hated moving out like this knowing that Katsu will be all alone in the house and the fact that the only reason he was living with her was because he was evicted from his house and now she's leaving him.
"Oh okay…I see" Katsu said as he grinned at her. "Okay then…I'll help you pack some of-"
"No, it's okay. I can handle it" She said quickly as she left the room. When she left Katsu sighed to himself as he glanced over at Sasuke.
"I'm happy for you two…you're finally together. I knew she was going to chose you over me, but it's okay you two are meant to be together" Sasuke rolled his eyes as he then looked away and grunted.
"Katsu…"
The other male's eyes looked at the Uchiha as he spoke. "What is it?"
"Get your things…"
"Wha-What are you talking about get my things?" Katsu asked as he stared at Sasuke.
"I mean get your things…your moving in with Hinata and me" He stated as he turned back towards Katsu who could only stare in shock at the Uchiha.
