Naruto rapidly walked down the halls of the school. He desperately searched for the fastest way to get out of the building. It was already the end of school and he had promised Hinata to meet up with her at a bench near the opening gates of the Konoha building.
Naruto ran faster and faster as he got closer to the clear glass doors. He pushed the doors open with so much force that it almost hit the exterior brick walls. He knew the extra strength was unnecessary but the great impulse of feelings that ripped through his shirt needed to talk to Hinata, immediately. He had to tell her what had just happened to him, what he had discovered and how he fucked things up real badly. He hoped she could fix it, he prayed she would know how to handle this situation.
"Hinata!" He yelled when he saw her vague image sitting on a bench.
She got up and moved a couple steps to him. Panting, Naruto stood in front of her. Resting his hands on her shoulders, he stared directly into her eyes. She was smiling her beautifully blushed smile. Her eyes expressed pure happiness in seeing him. Naruto felt a little sadden that that smile would soon fade away once she would hear who he had encountered.
Staring at her one last time, he took a mental picture of her godlike features and kissed her softly.
"How was your day?" He said releasing her lips.
"Okay, it's really hard ignoring you." She said pushing her feet up to reach his lips again. "And yours?"
Naruto's Adam's apple slowly moved down and back up.
"Good." He said turning around. "Pretty good."
He walked around the dirt floor, making sloppy circles with his shoes. He was trying to think of an opening to tell her the truth.
"How bout your friends. How'd they react?"
"Hmm?" Hinata said titling her head to the side. She looked like a confused puppy, it was adorable.
"Y'know, Ino and Sakura. How'd they take the news of us dating?"
"Oh. . . "
Hinata looked down at her shoes and shyly played with them. She hadn't done it, she hadn't spoken about him to her friends, she chickened out in fear of getting them angry.
"Naruto I'm sorry." She said still looking at the floor. "I couldn't bring myself to tell them about us."
"That's okay."
Now was his chance. . .
"You now have triple the time to prepare yourself." He said smiling back at her.
Hinata looked at him with another confused expression.
"What do you mean?"
Naruto ruffled his hair nervously. Touching his hair whenever he was nervous was beginning to be a habit.
"Well." He said looking up at the sky. "I met your Dad."
He met my-what?! My Dad?!
Hinata's eyes fell to the floor and rolled over to his feet.
"Y-You met my Dad. . ."
"Yup." He said changing his view to the floor. "And he really doesn't like me."
Hinata played with her skirt uncomfortably. "Naru-"
"I'll be honest with you Hinata." He interrupted. "I wasn't exactly very polite with him but I couldn't control myself. Your father was being a dick."
His girlfriend's eyes began to sadden. Naruto thought it was because he had offended her father.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." He said bringing himself closer to her.
"No it's okay. I'm sorry my Dad was rude to you."
She looked at her surroundings nervously and returned her stare to his face.
"He forbids me from seeing you." She blurted out."I'm not suppose to talk to you or be near you ever."
"Really? So you already told him about our relationship."
He mentally sighed in relief. The man didn't like him because of his past life but because he already knew what was going between him and his daughter. The guy wasn't trying to be threatening, he was just being protective. He only brought up his 'reputation' as a way to scare him off. It all made sense, that had to be it, right?
Hinata bit her lip and shook her head. "That's the very reason why I didn't."
Damn it, I guess not. . .
Naruto felt a pain spread across his chest. "So he's hated me even before this."
The small girl in front of him pulled away not knowing what to say.
"Damn it Hinata." Naruto said walking away with his hands clamped on his head. "Why didn't you tell me he was your father?! Why didn't you at least tell me he worked here?! I could've been on my best behavior today."
"I'm sorry, I just didn't think you'd run into him." She said walking towards him.
"Why not?"
"Because!" she said swinging her arms up in the air. "He's the school administrator! All he does is walk around the school, sign things, look at things, and I don't know, sit in an office in his free time! He has never personally spoken with another student. I didn't think you'd be the first."
"Damn." Naruto said folding his arms behind his head. "Why am I always the first in everything that involves a Hyuga?"
A noticeable smirk appeared at the end of his question. Hinata rolled her eyes at his attempted joke.
"What?" He said looking down at her. "Too soon?"
"Way too soon?"
She reached for his face and cupped his cheeks, pulling his head towards her. "Naruto, we have to be incredibly persuasive to get my Dad to like you. You have to be very polite, no jokes, alright?"
"I know I know." He said lightly grabbing her wrist. "I'll get his approval, don't worry."
She ducked her face behind her arms slightly lowering her head. She tried to hide the blushes that Naruto was giving her.
"It's gonna be very hard."
"You don't know that."
"Yes!" She said jolting her head back up. "He thinks you're still a player, Naruto. Right after I tell him we're together, the first thing he's gonna ask me is if we had sex. And when I tell him we did, he's gonna kill us both."
"Than just don't tell him."
"But I have to."
"No you don't. He can-"
"And I still don't know if I'm pregnant!" She gasped out of the blew. "What am I suppose so say to him when I get a round belly?!"
The fear of her having a baby so early in her life stressed her out incredibly. She wasn't ready to be a mother at this point in her life. She hadn't even started her own life yet. She needed to be independent first. The swarming thoughts of her having a baby developing inside her right at that moment made her feel very unsettled.
Naruto rolled his head around with a 'here we go again' face.
"You're not pregnant."
"How would you know?!" She said clutching onto his shirt. "You're no pregnancy test."
"You're right, I'm not a stick you pee on but I just know."
"How?"
"Because, I got lazy sperm." He said releasing her grip on his shirt. "I've never impregnated a girl, ever. I really doubt you'd be the only exception."
He suddenly made a quick breathy laugh. He grabbed her waist and rested his forehand on hers.
"Maybe when we're married and we're actually trying hard—well, I'd be trying really hard, then I'd believe you'd get pregnant. But for now, I think you're fine."
Hinata shook her head while pursing her lips. "I hope I'm not pregnant but I wouldn't mind checking for legit results."
Naruto nodded in comprehension. "I understand, but do you know how to do it?"
Hinata shrugged her shoulders while shaking her head. "Well no, but I could find out."
Naruto leaned his face closer to her ear.
"When do you get your period?" He whispered.
Hinata flinched away from him flustered by his question. "I-I'm not telling you!"
Naruto reached for her hand but she waved it off.
"Listen." He said seeing he made her uncomfortable. "if you miss your period, check three days after if you're pregnant. I wasn't trying to be a creep, I just wanted to let you know when to do it."
Hinata still didn't look at him. She was even pouting at her own embarrassment. Her extreme cuteness was too much for him. He wanted to swipe her off her feet and swing her around just like in the movies.
"Come here." He said motioning her to step forward. She ignored him and looked away. "Hinnnnnaaattta" He said playfully. "If you don't come over here, I'm gonna come over there."
She stuck her tongue out and hastened away. She was playing along with his game and he knew it. He jogged to her slightly hearing her giggles. With one wide hop, he grabbed her waist and pulled her to his chest.
"Gottcha!" He said rubbing his face on the top of her head. He indulged himself in her beautiful scent and soft hair. His fingers tapped themselves up and down her waist. A small grin from the blonde hid behind her navy blue strands.
"You ready?" He said in her ear.
"No don't." Hinata said grabbing his hands and pulling them away.
Before she could turn around, his hands came rushing back to her stomach and attacked her. He tickled her all over the place. Hinata was giggling at first but then started laughing hysterically as Naruto began to tickle her weak spots; her ribs, her armpits, and oddly her neck. She couldn't stop moving. She kept laughingly telling him to stop but he wouldn't.
"No mercy!" he yelled tickling her ribs.
Hinata was laughing so hard to the point where no noise came out. Her body stood still while her blushed face silently chuckled. Naruto stopped teasing her when a loud gasped for air finally escaped her lips.
"Stop." She said panting. "Please, no more."
Naruto rubbed his nose in her hair and then kissed the top of her head.
"Fine."
He turned her hips around so that her body could face him. He hugged her waist tightly making her chest press against his.
"Do you love me?" He said childishly.
The tips of their noses touched each other as they smiled. Hinata unexpectedly started kissing his lips repeatedly, sucking his bottom lip at times. The fast pace off the returning pecks made Naruto take a few steps back while he still held onto her fragileness.
"Yes." She said giving him another kiss.
They laced their hands together and they made one more passionate kiss. Hinata knew from that point that Naruto wasn't leaving her if she was or wasn't pregnant. She truly believed that he loved her and wasn't leaving any time soon.
What she didn't know was that her sister was watching. Her sister had seen her with Naruto. She saw her kiss him. And unfortunately, Hinata would be coming home to do some explaining, and she didn't even know it, not yet at least.
Hinata opened the door to her house.
She sighed a long happy sigh of relaxation.
"Home sweet home!" She said stretching her arms up in the air.
She suddenly heard a small noise coming from the kitchen. She tilted her head forward to see who it was.
"Dad?"
"Nope." A female voice responded back.
Hinata scurried herself to the kitchen.
"Hey Hanabi! You don't have practice today!"
"Nope. Coach is sick." She said scavenging through the fridge.
She grabbed a milk carton and set it on the counter. She opened the cabinets to get a bowl and a bag of cereal.
"Oh, well I guess that means you get to hang out with me today." Hinata said smiling.
Hanabi poured some milk in her bowl.
"Mmm-hmm"
For some reason she wasn't looking at Hinata. She also was speaking pretty tonelessly, almost emotionless.
"So how'd school go for you, today?"
"Pretty good. I got to watch a movie during English class." The younger girl said washing her hands.
"How bout you? How did your day go."
"Good." Hinata said broadly.
"Anything, new?"
"No."
"Mmm." Hanabi said nodding slowly. She secretly pressed on her jaw when she didn't hear what she wanted to.
"Any crushes?"
"No?"
Hinata was getting more and more addled by her questions. They felt so random. Was she trying to tease her? Hinata didn't seem threatened by her questions. Hanabi knew nothing about her and Naruto. It was more than likely she was just trying to mess with her.
"Okay Hanabi, I'll be waiting for you in the living room. You and your questions have no affect one me."
The lavender eyed Hyuga giggled as she walked out of the kitchen. Her sister gritted her teeth at her obliviousness.
"Oh, by the way. . ." She yelled to the living room.
"Yes." Her sister said poking her head out of the room.
"Did you have fun with your boyfriend ?"
"What?"
Hinata made her way back to the kitchen.
"What are you talking about?"
Hanabi didn't know about her and Naruto. She didn't, she never told her. Her sister was just being mischievous right now. She was trying to be funny.
But it wasn't like that at all. Hanabi was heating up with anger. Roughly gritting her teeth with great disguise. She, for the first time during that moment, turned to face Hinata. Her eyes did not look warm but angry. It was then when Hinata realized she wasn't joking.
"Did. . .you have fun. . .with your boyfriend. . ."
"H-Hanabi wh-"
"Cut the crap Hinata!" She said slamming her hand on the sink. "I fuckin' saw you!"
Hinata's hands began to sweat and heart began to pump faster. What did she see? If she was talking about Naruto, which by the look in her eyes it had to be, at off all the rings they had done, what did she see?
"Hanabi I-"
"I saw you kissing Naruto."
The organs in Hinata's stomach twisted violently upside down. She had been caught, and by her own sister.
"I-I'm sorry." She said shamefully. This is not how she wanted her to find out. She wanted to be the one to tell her about their relationship, not come come to an infuriated Hanabi.
"Don't apologize! It's worthless to me."
She walked back and forth around the kitchen shaking her head. "What did I tell you! I told you to not get near him!"
"But you said you would support me if I had a crush on him!" Hinata interrupted defensively.
"Yes! A crush! Just having a crush! I never meant for you to go out with him!"
Hinata looked at the floor shaking her head. She wanted to cry in embarrassment but also in sadness. She knew her sister wouldn't understand. She immediately categorized him as danger.
"How long has this been going on?" Hanabi said looking at her seriously.
Hinata stared back at her with watery. "Weeks now."
"Jeezus! I expected so much more from-" she cut off her words with a long pause. Her eyes worriedly looked at her sisters pupils. She feared for what she was about to say.
"Did you have sex with him. . ."
Hinata bit her lip. She felt like she was holding up her life with her bare hands. She felt like this one word, her answer, would drop her life o the floor and shatter it into tiny pieces. Tears slid down her face. She felt like a disgrace, she didn't regret what she had done which made her feel incredibly guilty. After all, she had been the one who asked to have intimacy not Naruto. Her sister didn't know that but when she did. She'd never forgive her.
"Yes."
"Oh my gosh." Her sister said cupping her mouth in disappointment. "Oh my God, Hinata."
She ran her finger stressfully through her hair. "How many times?"
"Hanabi we—I" She sighed at the useless words that were passing her lips.
"Twice." She said giving in. "We did it twice."
"No no no. . ."
Her sister began to nervously walk back and forth, "Are you pregnant!?" She said trying her best not to yell.
Hinata mentally screamed at herself for telling her the truth, because now, she had to tell her the other truth. She had to tell her she didn't know, she didn't know if she was pregnant.
"I don't know." She said looking down at the floor.
Hanabi was stabbed about fifty times by her sister's words. The fact that Hinata had a fifty-fifty chance of having a baby, fret her deeply. She either was or she wasn't and right now they didn't have a damn clue. The consequences of having a baby at seventeen with one year left before graduating were immense. How could she be so stupid? How could her older sister fall for such an asshole?
"I have to tell Dad." She said running to the phone.
"No wait! Hanabi don't!"
Hinata ran to her sister and pulled her away from the phone. "You can't!"
"Why the hell not!"
"Because. . . "She said sobbing. "D-Dad won't accept him."
"Of course he won't! No one will! I don't!"
"Hanabi please. . . " Hinata cried bending down to the floor. "It's my fault. I told him he could. He didn't want to, I did."
"What?"
Salty tears damped Hinata's face. "Hanabi, I told him I was ready. It was me."
Hanabi shook her sister off her leg. "You're so stupid Hinata. I mean, why would you—why?! At seventeen!? Your crush was so big that you foolishly fell into his trap."
"That's not it!" Hinata began to cry uncontrollably. "I love him!"
"Please! Come on Hinata!"
"But it's true! I love him and he loves me too!" Hinata stood up to face her sister. "I f you'd just give him a chance. If you just met the real him, you would know he meant no harm!"
Hinata's face slowly became more confident and more determine to defend her relationship.
"I can prove it to you. I could tell you everything right now. We could even go to his house so he could tell you the truth too."
Her eyes were no longer scared or ashamed. She looked directly into her sister's eyes with a serious face. She had nothing to fear anymore, everything she had said was true, she knew it was true.
Hanabi could see her change an emotion so she started to change hers.
"You got ten seconds to start talking." She said folding her arms across her chest. "Spit."
And so she did, she began to tell her everything not leaving a single detail out.
"So he was a dick in the beginning." Hanabi asked sitting on the counter top.
"Yes but he changed."
"I get that, but why'd you stay? Why'd stay you after all the things he made you go through?"
Hinata shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, I couldn't leave him. I tried but he always came back. There was something about him, in his eyes, that made me think he wasn't bad." She smiled and shyly played with her hair. "And now I finally get to see it."
"Hmm."
Hanabi stared at her bubbly sister. She could see how happy she was by the thought of Naruto. She secretly felt happy for her too but she also felt the need to bring her back to reality.
"You have to tell them."
"What?"
"You have to tell everyone, just like you told me. Sakura, Ino, TenTen, Even Dad. They have all the right to know, especially if you turn out to be pregnant."
"I know." Hinata said walking towards the window above the sink. "I just don't know how or when it's the right time."
Hanabi hopped off the counter and walked towards her sister. "I'll help you with Dad but you gotta talk to your friends. It'll be best if you do it as soon as possible. Like tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"But-"
"No buts! That baby is a question mark. We don't know if it's real or not. If it is, you can't tell them at the last minute."
Hinata sighed and closed her eyes. "I guess."She turned her body to her sister. "Cross your fingers that everything goes well. I don't wanna lose them."
"Fingers crossed!" Hanabi said showing her fingers at her face. "You can do it!"
Naruto and Hinata walked down the halls of the school. They both came early to school to meet each other before anyone else came.
"So you're telling them today?"
"Yup."
"I have no problem with that but you were really hesitant yesterday. How'd it come to this?"
"My sister. She saw us kissing yesterday."
"Really?! How?!"
"I don't know." Hinata shrugged. "I guess through the window maybe."
"Yea probably." Naruto stopped walking and sat below a locker. He waved his hand telling her to sit next to him. "How did she react?"
"She was really mad, really" Hinata said sitting next to him. "Mainly because of the sex but she's okay now, don't worry."
Naruto bit his lip in worry. If her sister reacted negatively, her younger sister, how would her friends act? Probably twice as worse. Hinata could see the tenseness in his face and cooed him to calm down.
"It's okay." She said fondling his hair. "She's not mad anymore. She's going to help me."
Naruto simply smiled back at her. Although he was still worrying, he decided to change the subject.
"So who you telling first?" He said resting his head on her shoulder.
"Sakura. She's the first one I see every day."
"Mmmm." Naruto said in an unsure tone,"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why not?"
"She doesn't like me, remember." "I don't think she'll listen to anything you say once you mention my name. I suggest you tell Ino first, she seems nicer."
"She is and she always wanted us to be together, like way before it even happened."
"She did?" Naruto said lifting his head up in surprise.
"Yup."
Naruto slouched back against the locker. "I'm telling you." He said smiling. "Ino is so wise."
Hinata silent giggled. "I'm still telling Sakura first though."
"Do what you want." Naruto said closing his eyes. "But I know she's not gonna handle it well."
"Just let me try."
Naruto tilted his around to kiss her. Her caressed her cheek and ran his other hand through her hair.
"Go ahead." He said releasing his lips. "I'll be there if you need me."
It was lunch time. Hinata had asked Sakura to meet her in private. She waited nervously near the girls' bathroom. She tried to think of ways of how to tell her friend about Naruto and their. . .incident, well all their incidents.
"Heyo!" Sakura's voice echoed through the halls. "What you need to talk about?"
Hinata weakly smiled at her friend. They both walked into the bathroom. Hinata checked to see if anyone else was there. Surprisingly, there was nobody else but them.
"Uh. . ." Hinata said fidgeting with her fingers. "Well. . .uh—I have a boyfriend."
Sakura's eyes widen in excitement. "You do! Who is it!"
Hinata gulped her nerves down her throat. "I-Its its Naruto."
Hinata spoke in such a quiet voice, it was barely audible for Sakura's ears.
"Who is it?" She said coming closer. "I couldn't hear you."
Hinata took a deep breath and looked at her pink haired friend. "Naruto. . . my boyfriend is Naruto."
. . .
Silence flood the room, neither one of the two girls spoke. Hinata could see the shock in Sakura's face. Her jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
"You what?" She said still in complete shock.
Hinata slowly backed away, protecting herself from the explosion she was about to make. "I-I'm dating Naruto."
Sakura's facial expression twisted into a mixture of disgust and anger.
"Why the hell would you be dating him. . .""I told you to stay away from him."
Her voice was becoming harsh just as well as her body language. She suddenly gasped and backed away. "Hinata. . .did you have sex with him?" She said with extreme concern and worry.
Oh jeez. . .here we go again.
Hinata tried to wash herself with confidence but she was too afraid of Sakura's reaction. She started to play with her hair nervously, twirling it around her fingers.
"Hinata, did you do it or not." Sakura said when she didn't get an answer.
"Yes." Hinata shamefully whispered. "Yes we did."
Sakura cupped her mouth in utter shock. "Hinata you didn't! Why?!"
Hinata walked closer to her friend in effort to calm her dowm. "Sakura let me explain-"
"Did he force you to!" Sakura said flinging her hands on Hinata's shoulders.
"No! Of course not! He-"
"He tricked you! He manipulated you into going to bed with him! That bastard!"
"Sakura no, it's not like that!"
No matter how hard Hinata tried to tell her what actually happened, Sakura wouldn't listen. She kept ranting and ranting about Naruto. Only talking about how bad he was.
Naruto was right, Sakura wasn't going to listen to her once he mentioned his name. She hated him too much for that.
"I have to go!" Sakura said running out the door."I gotta go find this idiot!"
"Sakura wait!"
Hinata ran behind her but by the time she had gone out of the bathroom, she had lost her friend between the crowd of people.
"Oh no." She breathed out. "What am I going to do now. . ."
She shook her anxiously.
It's up to you now Naruto, i'm so sorry.
