Chapter 4 - The love I share

"Onee-chan… Onee-chan… Onee-chan!" Hinata grumbled in her sleep as Hanabi tried to shake her awake. "5 more minutes…" Hanabi giggle at her sister's antics, so Hanabi changed her wake up plan. She took in a deep breath and screamed in her ear.

"HINATA!"

Hinata shot up from her sleeping position on her desk and fell of her chair. "Oww…" and she rubbed her sore behind. Hanabi couldn't contain her laughter as she watched her older sister. Hiashi who was conveniently walking pass his daughters study saw the event not mention heard it courtesy of Hanabi. He chuckled to himself wondering if his grandchildren would be the same.

"Onee-chan you fell asleep at your desk again. Otōsan is not going to be happy or your neck." Hanabi said trying to use her best stern tone on her sister. Hinata sighed from her spot on the floor and lad a hand on her neck, trying to rub out the stiffness. "I know Hana-chan but I don't have much time and there is a lot of things to go through."

"Well how about we eat something first then you can get back to work." Hinata smiled at her darling baby sister and grabbed her hand and yanked her down toward the floor and ruthlessly began to tickle her. Hanabi begged for her stop between her bursts of laughter. Hinata stopped after a while and stood up. "And that is what you get for waking me up like that." She said with a smug look on her face. These were the moment she truly enjoyed… being with her family. Hinata smiled solemnly towards the sky thinking about her dear brother.

At the breakfast table Hanabi was busy eating some cubed fruit, Hinata was eating a plate of scrambled eggs and Hiashi was contently sipping his tea well that was until Hinata's old team mates had arrived. So he made his escape to the gardens while Kiba, Shino and Akamaru entered.

"Morning Hime, little Hime" Kiba bowed in front of the sisters. Hanabi blushed at Kiba while Hinata smiled at him. Shino greeted them as well while Akamaru sneaked away to the Hyüga gardens to roll around in the grass.

"Well Hina-chan we are here to help so what do need us to do?" Kiba asked while stealing a piece of beacon of the table. Hinata lifted her index finger and tapped on her chin before she spoke.

"Well I've gotten most of it done it's just that I need to put it order and maybe add a few more things to it." Kiba's mouth was too full to answer so he just nodded. "Hn… did work through the night Hina-chan?" Shino asked. His response was Hinata yawning. "You should have seen her earlier" Hanabi giggle remembering how her sister fell on the floor. Shino sighed cracked a small smile. "Well we should get started." Hinata said through another yawn. The three of the got up and left not before saying good-bye to Hanabi who was meeting her team for a new mission.

They walked to her study and Hinata pulled out all the files she was working with. They sat down and began to sift through all the different information.

Sasuke was currently in the training ground practicing with his Sword of Kusanagi. The training ground was absolutely silent other than the faint sound of the blade cutting through the air. Kicking one of the tree stumps leaves began to fall to the ground. Sasuke readied his sword and with a few quick fluid movements he stopped. Each leaf that fell to the ground was neatly cut in half down the middle. What he didn't notice a group of children that were watching him mesmerized by his abilities. When he stood up the children stopped staring and ran towards him. "Oni-chan! Oni-chan! Oni-Chan!" the three little boys called out to him. Sasuke looked towards them as they came running towards him. Unknown to anyone well... except Hinata Sasuke love children.

All three of them had cute happy expressions on their faces. "That was sooo Cool Oni-chan"

"Oni-chan, can you teach it to us?"

"Oni-chan, can you train us?"

"Onegai!" the three of them said all together. Sasuke chuckled at the trio and ruffed one of the boy's hair. "Well first what are you names?" The boy with white hair and green eyes spoke first. "My name is Kenta." Next was a boy with red hair and ice blue eyes "My name Is Yuki and this is my twin brother Seijō." Yuki said referring to the boy next to him. "So will you teach us? Oni-chan" Seijō asked. Sasuke pretended to be thinking about and made his face very scary. "Are you sure you can handle it?" he said in a deep voice. The three little boys looked scared but nodded. Sasuke smile at the three for be brave and showed a few katas to practice.

After a while Sasuke said good-bye to the three little boys and promise to train them again. On his way back to his apartment he walked pass the Hyüga compound. He stopped in front and debated whether to go in or not. He wanted to see her, to do so many things to her; anything he thought about was about her and it was killing him. Gaining the courage he need, he walked in.

Sasuke was granted access to the Hyüga compound by Hinata so he was always welcome. The guards let him pass and greeted him. He walked toward her study and found sitting alone at her desk reading some documents. He knocked on her door and leaned against the frame as she looked up from reading.

"Sasuke… "

"Hime…" Sasuke smirked at her ad sauntered over to the empty chair across from her. Surprised to see me Hime? Hinata broke out of her daze and looked at Sasuke.

"Hmmm... yeah I thought you would be still at the training grounds" Sasuke nodded and picked up one of the pages she was reading. "Reading up on Suna's plants?"

"For the presentation tomorrow, Shino-kun and Kiba-kun were helping but they got called away on a mission and it was their day off too." The young leader sighed. Sasuke got up from his seat and carried his chair to her side of the desk and placed the chair next to hers. He sat down and started to gather all the stray documents that littered her desk.

"I'll help." Hinata watched Sasuke as he sorted out each document, stacking them neatly on her desk. "Hime would you rather stare at me than do your work, not that I mind you staring…" he said with the biggest smirk on his face. Hinata blush because she was caught staring at her ANBU partner and he was teasing her. After some time the sun lit sky turned dark as the moon took the sun's place in the sky. Hinata and Sasuke began to put all the books and file they used. They had finished their work just before dinner.

As Sasuke put away the last book on one of the higher shelves Hinata stood behind him, watching how his shirt lifted ever so slightly so she could see the small of his back. The way his muscles stretch and tighten. No… bad Hinata… she mentally scolded herself. Blushing at the not so innocent thoughts she had of her partner she turn around to face the window overlooking the garden waiting for her blush to die down.

Sasuke noticed the change in Hinata and grind at what he was going to do. This was his chance to show her how he feels. So crept up behind her and circled her waist with his strong arms. He leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Hime…" Hinata gasped when she felt the comforting weight Sasuke's arms around her and his warm breath against her ear. "You have no idea how long I've waited to do this to you…" his whispered to her neck and kissed it. Hinata closed her eyes wanting to feel every touch against her skin. Sasuke trailed kisses down her neck until he stopped and lifted her chin towards him. She opened her eyes to meet is deep onyx eyes. They leaned closer to each other until their lips touched. They started off slow, it was sweet torture. Sasuke ran the tip of his tongue against her lips, silently asking for entrance. He nipped at her bottom lip and she gasped. He wasted no time by sliding his tongue in her mouth. Coaxing her tongue to move with his they fought for dominance. Hinata wrapped her arms around his neck. Her hands found their way to his soft hair and she clutched it in a fist pulling him closer towards her. They broke from the kiss only for Sasuke to continue trailing kisses down her body. She moaned in satisfaction and he smiled against her skin. He was happy that he was turning her on.

Their heated kisses came to an abrupt halt when a knock was heard on the door. "Hinata-sama… dinner will be ready soon."

"Thank you… Kō I'll be there… in a moment..." Hinata managed to say after their heated session. Sasuke sighed and touched his forehead to hers. Kami I don't want this to end. He lifted his head and kissed her on her forehead. "I need to go Hime…" he reluctantly let go of her. Hinata instantly missed the warm of his body and the heavenly weight of his arms around her. "Sasuke…" she breathlessly called out as he was heading for the door. He turned around to face her. Seeing her standing there in front of him with her lips red from his attention, her kimono out-of-place from his hand roaming her body, seeing her breathless because of him. The sight before him fuelled his pride, ego and arousal. He stepped towards her and stole one last kiss before he left. Hinata offered no resistance and melted into his arms. She let herself be taken away by him. When the kiss broke Sasuke was gone. She remembered the last words he whispered in her ear. "I'll miss you Hime…"

Hinata went to bed that night with butterflies in her stomach. She giggled and smile to herself. This was the second time she had felt truly happy after the death of Neji. She was finally healing and she had many people to thank for that. She fell asleep with her dreams were filled with a certain Uchiha.

Next day

You would expect at 4 in the morning Shikamaru would still be sleeping but the young Nara was instead sitting in front of his shoji board. Put each piece into to place Shikamaru was pondering on the different ways on which choosing the next Hokage could turn out. He did not realize that he was sitting there for so long until his mother told him that Hinata was waiting for him.

He rose from his spot and made his way to the main entrance of the Nara compound. Hinata Stood outside waiting patiently for Shikamaru to exit his home. She wore her favourite white kimono with light pink sakura petals on the bottom with a blood-red obi. Shikamaru stepped outside as Hinata greeted him.

The two friends walked side by side towards the Hokage tower. "Hina-chan, are you nervous?"

"No not really… why would you ask Shika-kun?"

"Cause you are playing with the ends of your sleeves." Hinata blushed lightly and pouted. Unknown to Hinata Shikamaru was just as nervous as she was. As they reached the Hokage tower Kakashi puffed up in front of them.

"Yo"

"Good morning Kakashi-sensei"

"Morning, Kakashi."

The three of them made their way up to the Hokage's office where Gaara and Tsunade were waiting for them. They entered the Hokage's office and greeted each other. Tsunade began to explain how the discussions will take place. "Each of you will have a one on one talk with Gaara. When each of you had a turn, Gaara will choose the one that is best and discuss it with and at the end of the day we will tell you which one we had picked." They nodded and Kakashi was the first to go and he followed Gaara to the meeting room.

The waiting was the hardest part. Hinata and Shikamaru watched the time pass until Kakashi stepped out. Hinata was the next to go then Shikamaru. Each of them had to discuss the key points that were written in the contract and how it will benefit both countries. Hinata felt like she would have reverted back to her old self because of the way Gaara stared at her. When it was over she sighed in relief. Now it was all up put Gaara to choose the one that he thinks is best. She walked out of the room and whispered good luck to Shikamaru as he walked passed her. She sat down next to Kakashi and they were talking about a new book that had just been released (perverted books not included) as Shikamaru walked out. Gaara followed behind him. He stood in front of the trio and motioned for the other two to stand. "Thank you for your time and effort. Each one of you created excellent contacts as to be expected. You will know which one we have picked at the end of the day." They bowed to each other and the trio left the Hokage tower.

"This is going to be a tough choice…"

"You think so?"

"Yes the council original choice was Nara Shikamaru, am I correct?"

"Yes"

"He does not want to be Hokage because he knows even though he is a genius he won't be able to handle a village as big as Konoha."

"This changes things…"

"Hn"
