Hey, hey!

So let's jump to it. Vacation time!

Sasuke was half asleep on the beach towel as him and Taika were laying under a beach umbrella. Taika was knocked out sleeping. He was just like Sasuke. He liked to lounge around if there was nothing going on. Silent and to himself. Usually Taifū was the only reason Taika would get loud and goofy.

Sasuke had on a white V-neck shirt and dark blue beach shorts. He had on black sunglasses to keep the sun from him and used one arm to serve as a pillow behind his head. Taika was wearing bright orange swim trunks and his ink block colored hair had grown to the point Hinata put it in a high bun like Taifū.

This was day one of their vacation. The quiet and solitude was everything Sasuke didn't know he craved for. He loved it. Just the sounds of the ocean and his family having a good time.

"Stay still. Hinata's gonna love this picture."

Sasuke didn't move as Naruto took a picture of him with Taika. "You two look so much alike until he opens his eyes. Then he looks like a perfect mixture of you and Hinata." Sasuke gave a small smile at hearing Naruto and continued to lay on his arm and relax.

"Where is Hinata?"

Naruto rolled his eyes at Sasuke's short words. "You're so rude. She's playing in the water with Taifū." Naruto looked over at Hinata and smiled. Sasuke sat up slightly and looked at her as well.

Hinata sat on the beach with Taifū. They were barely on shore and the water came up to Taifū's belly button. Hinata sat cross legged and looked at Taifū with a big smile. She would manipulate the water to dance around her and Taifū. He thought it was the funniest thing ever. Taifū clapped his hands excitedly and Sasuke could make out him saying 'Mama' and 'Again'.

Hinata wore her large white beach hat and this time since they were in a more private area, she wore a two-piece bathing suit. A bright pure white color.

Sasuke's eyes were hidden, but they traveled down to her stomach. "She's starting to show."

Naruto smiled as he watched Hinata happily play with Taifū. "Yeah well. She's four months pregnant and Hinata has a tiny body." Sasuke kept watching Hinata as he smiled. "Yeah. She's only carrying one this time though. Maybe girls make you show more?"

Ah yes. Hinata got her little girl.

Naruto saw Taifū with his hair in his high bun and how Hinata changed his earrings out to small gold hoop earrings. He still kept his bracelet on and his gold necklace as well. "What are the chances you think she'll stop dressing the boys up so flashy once she has our little girl?"

Sasuke grunted and actually chuckled at this. "Not a chance in hell."

Naruto turned around as he sensed people approaching and saw Neji coming with his family from a distance. "Oi! Neji! Tenten! Little man!"

Neji's son made a beeline to Naruto and the two gave each other a big hug. Ōchō was a carbon copy of Neji, but energy of 1000 men. Nothing Naruto couldn't handle. Thank goodness their little girl was a quiet one. Another child with Neji's eyes and dark brown hair like both her parents. Her face was slender like Tenten's though.

Tenten was holding their daughter, Hana. She was four months. A quiet one indeed. She liked to be cuddled and her favorite thing was lying on her daddy's chest.

Naruto held Ōchō and smiled at Tenten. "Long time no see Tenten. I'm glad we could all do this trip together!"

Sasuke looked at Naruto. If his eyes weren't covered, Naruto would see the pointed look Sasuke was giving him. Naruto was pure sugar. So sweet right now. When earlier he threatened to put Sasuke's head in the sand if he fucked up this vacation. Reason why Sasuke was so short with him. Naruto was so bipolar sometimes.

Tenten smiled at Naruto. Her hair still in the typical buns she always wore. She looked more muscular than before though. "Naruto! Nice to see you again. Nice to see everyone." Tenten's eyes immediately went to Hinata, who was in the water. Neji placed his hands on Tenten's shoulders and redirected her attention.

"Do you want me to go back to the beach house to change Ōchō, or do you want me to stay here with Hana?" Tenten caught on that she was staring and smiled at Neji. "I'll go change Ōchō. Don't worry about it. I'll be right back."

Naruto handed Ōchō to Tenten as she handed Hana to Neji. He watched as she took his little fire cracker nephew to change into some beach clothes. "Well Neji. I told Sasuke to behave." Sasuke looked up from his propped position to see Naruto looking at Neji with a serious face. His eye brow arched to show that he wasn't liking how things were going.

He could feel Tenten's attitude towards Hinata, and Naruto wasn't going for it.

Neji had on black swim trucks and a beach top that he left unbuttoned to reveal his chest. Neji liked jewelry, so he wore a gold chained necklace and small golden hooped earrings. His hair was still styled the same. Shaved down the sides and his long hair was in a high bun.

Neji held a hand up to Naruto like he already understood. "Yes. I told Tenten the same thing. This will be a relaxed trip."

Sasuke didn't say anything. He just laid back in his relaxed position. Neji looked down and saw the father and son scene below him. He didn't react to the scene and looked at the water to see Hinata approaching them. "She's starting to show."

"I said the same thing." Sasuke finally spoke. He hasn't talked to Neji in almost a year.

Neji rolled his eyes at the short comment and watched as Hinata approached him. He smiled at her and Hinata returned the smile. Taifū saw Neji and smiled. He walked up to him and eagerly held his arms up. Wanting his uncle to pick him up, which Neji gladly did after he handed Hana to Hinata.

Hinata smiled brightly at her little niece dressed in all white. Such a pure color for a pure little girl. "She's precious Neji. Absolutely breath taking."

Neji smiled as he lifted Taifū over his shoulders and let him sit there. Taifū felt so tall that he smiled brightly at his parents. Naruto whipped out his camera again and took a picture of Neji holding his nephew. Making Naruto's son smile bigger.

Naruto then whipped around and took a picture of Hinata. She was cuddling her niece and looked at her so lovingly. Naruto lowered the camera just a little as he was stuck on Hinata. She was going to look at their little girl like that in a few months.

Hinata looked at Neji and smiled. "Where is Tenten?" Neji nodded his head over to the beach house they reserved for the two families to stay in. "Inside. Getting Ōchō dressed for the sand and water." Hinata looked at the beach house and smiled again. "Oh? I will go help her. Come along boys."

Taifū wiggled out of Neji's hold and Taika stood up from Sasuke and immediately went to Hinata's side. Apparently he wasn't that deep into a sleep. Hinata walked towards the beach house while holding Hana. Neji blinked at the scene. She has her boys in check. Just one small command. "Hinata. That's not necessary. Tenten will be out soon." In a group setting, where he could control Tenten's mouth and behavior.

Hinata kept walking towards her destination. "Oh, but brother. I insist. Please stay with Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun. Relax."

She left it at. Clearly saying to not interfere.

Sasuke lowered his sunglasses a little to look at Naruto and Neji. "Sit down. They aren't going to be coming out anytime soon. Plus, you can tell me all about how I 'brainwash' my wife, Hyuga."

Inside the beach house Hinata walked in with the children. Tenten was just finishing up getting Ōchō some water in his sippy cup. Tenten looked at Hinata and gave her a tight-lipped smile. "Hey Hinata."

With that Hinata locked the door.

"Hello Tenten. I am happy to see you again. I haven't seen you since Hana was born. I have missed you and the family."

Tenten noticed Hinata basically blocking her way of leaving. Ōchō went to play with his cousins and Hinata held her sleeping daughter. "Alright Hinata. Let's be honest, since you went to such great lengths to corner me."

Hinata leaned against the wall near the glass door and looked at Tenten calmly. "Okay. Please. Tell me what bothers you."

Tenten crossed her arms under her chest. A look of annoyance settled on her features. "You know what bothers me. You left Neji. He wanted you to follow us and you just abandoned him. When he needed you the most. When the trauma was really starting to hit him, Hinata. Trauma that BOTH of you went through, and that he needed YOU to be with him so you both could go through the motions together and heal. You pushed him and his family out your world. Like we didn't matter to you anymore because the list was complete."

Hinata was silent as she looked at Tenten. She held Hana close to her heart as the little baby slept and slowly nodded her head. "I did do all those things. I will not make excuses. I am a terrible person that should have been there for my brother. I live with that memory of Neji leaving every day. I live with regrets every day. That is my punishment to myself Tenten. What do you want my punishment to be?"

Tenten's chakra escalated as she looked at Hinata. "Shut up. You just gave up Hinata. You expect Neji to keep fighting for you while you just give up. Now you sit here and detach yourself from me. When Naruto and Sasuke were not there for you, it was me and Neji there. Now you don't need us. Is that it?"

Naruto looked over at the beach house. Sensing Tenten chakra's rising and yet Hinata seemed to be calm. He let out a sigh as he watched the heated look Neji and Sasuke were giving one another. He really hoped everyone could just get along for this trip.

Both Neji and Sasuke were arrogant people. They both had to be right at all times. Hinata listened. Tenten was understanding. These two guys? None of the above.

Sasuke was now sitting up. His sunglasses on top of his head as he stared heatedly at Neji. "You say I'm the one that brainwashes her. Yet you've been telling her since she was a kid she was a piece of shit. When I met her, the damage was done by you and your family. I've never met someone so brittle in my life. That brittle, broken Hinata, was your product Hyuga. I fixed your damaged product."

Naruto slowly turned and looked at Sasuke with shocked eyes. What in the entire fuck?

Neji glared at Sasuke. In the past, he would have already threatened to fight the guy, but Neji was growing now. "Funny. I've done so many bad things to Hinata. Yet in those times you speak of, I was the only one that could help her. Not you or Naruto. If I remember correctly Uchiha, YOU are the reason she's scarred for life."

The hidden meaning of Sasuke not being able to protect her in Mist village. Sasuke not being able to protect her in the forest of death against Orochimaru. How she now had a scarred hand and a permanent scar on her ribs side and the forever struggle of the dark chakra.

Sasuke squinted his eyes at Neji. Hinata said that to him when she was blinded with rage from her alcohol addiction and the seething pain of the dark chakra. Did Neji put that in her head? When they told Neji that Hinata was staying with them and not him. Did he plant that bug in her ear so she'd rage? Just so Neji could come in and take her, to continue to cover their secret.

Sasuke was seeing red now.

Naruto leaped in between Sasuke and Neji as Sasuke lunged for Neji.

Hinata looked at Tenten confused. "I will always need you and Neji. My niece and nephew. I always will need my family. Do you wish to come back to Konoha?"

Tenten shook her head annoyed. This girl just wasn't getting it. "No! I want you and Neji in Amegakure. All of the Hyuga clan over there. To start fresh. You need it and Neji would love it."

Hinata again looked at Tenten confused. "The Hyuga's that wanted to leave with Neji, left. About 35% left. Other's stayed because they have a life in Konoha. They love it there and that is their home. The Hyuga's home. We are one of the main protectors of Konoha."

Tenten gave a dark chuckle as she looked down at the ground. Hinata finally sat up from the wall and walked over to Tenten. "People that stayed behind in Konoha. A lot of them are not people Neji would want to see on a day-to-day bases. He knows some older Hyuga's dealt more with Danzo than they admit. Favored our grandfather. Those people would trigger Neji, trust me Tenten. I KNOW. So they stay under my watch. I want Neji to be okay. To be free. I've done everything in my power to make him at peace."

Tenten snapped her head up and looked at Hinata. "So you suffer? You two have the SAME triggers. You're like freaking twins or something. Hinata. When you hurt, Neji hurts. I know you can feel when he hurts. He can feel when you hurt. He knows he's at peace back in Amegakure and I THANK YOU for giving him that peace. What about you though? That has to be HELL living like that. Triggered almost every day. That's why I'm pissed. You just quit. Living in hell."

Hinata smiled at Tenten. "It is my hell Tenten. One that I've made for myself and I am comfortable in. I have Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun. I have the boys. I want to grow my family. I am happy in my hell and I will continue to make it my peace. All I ask is for you to continue to support my brother. You two have to understand the things I will do for you."

Tenten looked off to the side and her bottom lip quivered slightly. She got it now. Why Hinata did what she did. Why she let Neji go. "You detached too Hinata? Like Neji did? I was so broken when he did that."

Hinata squared her jaw, she refused to cry over such a thing. "Yes. I hurt my husbands during this time. Trust me. Me and Neji feel horrible over what we have done. It's not going to stop, but we are trying to make sure we never hurt our loved ones like that again. Tenten…I love you and I'm sorry if I hurt you."

Tenten wiped away a lone tear and smiled. "Hinata shut up. You are way too kind." Tenten reached over and hugged Hinata. "You please keep fighting for that peace Hinata. Don't get stuck. Don't give up. That is what I tell Neji as well."

Hinata smiled and nodded her head. "Thank you Tenten."

Naruto had an arm stretched to distance Sasuke and Neji. Sasuke too focused on Neji to even get angry at Naruto for interfering. "You're legit a piece of shit Hyuga." Naruto snapped his head over to Sasuke and glared at him. "Hey! Stop it now!"

Neji shook his head and stood up. Sasuke stood up as well and so did Naruto to keep the distance. "Relax Naruto. Put your arms down. Let Uchiha get it off his chest. I want to hear what he's got bottled up."

Sasuke snarled at Neji and still felt Naruto's hand against his chest to stop him. "Good because you are a piece of shit. You did ruin your sister's childhood. You did participate in her anxiety and depression. You knew she was drinking and NEVER tried to help her. I don't understand what HOLD you have over her, but I wish it was gone. Everything is supposed to be fine because you decided to be nice to her again? Since you realized she was stronger than you thought and useful to you now."

Neji crossed his arms over his chest as he listened to Sasuke. "Are you done? Nothing you say isn't something that hasn't already crossed my mind. I know all of this. That's why I dedicated my life to fixing it with Hinata. I know I hurt her. I know I was in a bad place. Screwed up in the head. You cannot tell me the day me and Hinata were kidnapped by YOUR fucking brother, that I did not dedicate my life into protecting her. Following everything she asked me to do. Being there for her when you two were bettering yourselves."

Neji glared at Sasuke now and bared his fangs at him "All the tears she had for you two. Any doubt. I was there to smooth over. Supporting her relationship for you two because I believed you two were the best fit for her. For when the day came that I wasn't strong enough for Hinata anymore, you two would be there for her. Just for you to turn around and tell her to shut out her family. That her father isn't her father anymore."

Sasuke looked at Neji like he was crazy. "I didn't tell her to shut you out. I didn't know she distanced herself from you. Hinata was miserable for months. She closed us out for months. You came in and dropped you two's secret, and she fucking snapped. What did you think was going to happen? That you'd bring up something she was trying to take to her grave and she'd be happy with it? Exhilarated? She fucking lost her mind!"

Sasuke and Naruto had to sit there and watch their wife's light fade away. Terrified for months that she was going to relapse. That she was going to repeat history, and be like her mother.

Sasuke pushed Naruto's hand away and slowly approached Neji. "So. I don't care if I come off as angry about the situation, when it seemed as if you only cared about your own well-being. She wanted you to stay because she KNEW she couldn't leave. The responsibilities she endured for you. I told her we'd leave. We'd follow you, and all she had to say was yes, but she couldn't do that to YOU. She couldn't let YOU be burdened with the curse of the Hyuga clan. It's taken me some time to see, but my clan isn't the cursed one. It's yours."

Neji looked at Sasuke with a somber grin, "I knew you two were right for Hinata. Maybe useless in the beginning, but now. You've got me beat. I knew when you argued me down about Hinata staying with you two, when her dark chakra was raging that you two were right for her. That she didn't need me anymore and that I should try to focus on myself. I'm not saying you two aren't good for her and I'm not saying I've been perfect Hinata's entire life. My clan is cursed. That's why I had to leave. That's why I wanted Hinata to leave. A year ago I was in a mind frame where I didn't care about responsibilities for once. I was just mentally gone. I had to fix it."

Sasuke eyes finally softened as he looked at Neji. He backed down and just listened to him.

"Hinata could endure far more than I could. She could hold the past in and I couldn't. Hinata…is a strong human being. I could never be as forgiving, loving and nurturing as Hinata. She was upset I wanted to leave, but she still saw the bigger picture on why I had to disconnect from the rest of the clan and why she decided to stay. It was always going to come down to this. One of us staying in Konoha and the other leaving. I supposed I tapped out first. So, I'm sorry. For leaving her with that burden."

Sasuke looked off to the side. He felt like a dick now. Hinata would have been angry if she heard everything Sasuke said to Neji in his fit of anger. "No. I apologize. Hinata at the end of the day said she wanted to stay here. You had to do what benefited you and your family."

Sasuke stepped back and sat back down on his beach towel. That was it. That was enough for him and he was fine with Neji again. Neji rolled his eyes and grinned amused at Sasuke. He was a protective man over his loved ones. He respected that.

Naruto let out a heavy sigh. "Thank goodness that is over. Say Neji. You got it in you to answer something for me?" Neji tilted his head as he looked at Naruto, "Yeah. What is it?"

Naruto stretched. His tails floated to get away from the sand. His fox ears twitched a little and he looked at Neji sharply. "Like the signs. It bothers me sometimes. How you two held this in and had triggers that we just weren't catching. Like you two were so protective of keeping this in. What did I miss that showed you two were covering this up? I want to know the signs so I'll notice when Hinata is being loopy again. We all know this is a journey for you two. I want to know and be more prepared."

Sasuke had his sunglasses back on, but he turned his head and looked at Neji curious as well.

Neji grinned at Naruto. "That's very cunning of you Naruto. You rather not ask Hinata?" Naruto continued to eye Neji with a sharp gaze. "We can keep everything said right now between the three of us. Like whatever is being said with Tenten and Hinata will be kept between them."

Neji nodded his head amused. His arms still crossed over his chest. "Well. The reason Hinata confronted Danzo that night he mauled her face was because she caught sight of him talking to our grandfather. Hanabi there with them. Hinata felt a bit triggered by that. Like our grandfather was getting too close to Hanabi. Something me and Hinata spent years to ensure didn't happen. Who knows what they could have done with Hanabi if she continued to be around them."

He looked off in thought and had a thinking face. "Hinata's drinking. Was to shut out the abuse, and my silence to her habit was selfish. I didn't want the secret getting out either. Her addiction made sure it was hidden. If Hinata told, or if I did. The seal would have been activated on me again. Probably killing me. Hinata would have been sent off to some perv early on and Hanabi would have been next in line to be abused."

Naruto took a deep breath as he listened to everything. He looked at the ground to make sure he concentrated on all of Neji's words.

"When me and Hinata were in the hospital and I asked Hiashi for help. He came because he didn't want her saying anything. I'm sure he knew about the abuse, and us being mentally affected from being captured could have triggered us into opening up. However, I stopped Hinata. She had grown very fond of Lady Tsunade. She would have cracked after being alone with her."

Naruto looked at Neji and thought about that night. How sneaky Neji was. It was all to protect Hinata and their secret. "When Orochimaru was in the village and torturing Hinata's dark chakra. I wanted Hinata to stay with me and you two argued for her to stay with you. I wanted her to stay with me because she was vulnerable and open at the time. She could have told you. So, yes Uchiha. I did at the time play very dirty. At Hinata's weakest moment, I added in how the two of you couldn't possibly care for her. Finally when I started seeing a therapist, that was when the tables turned and I wanted to talk about it and Hinata did everything in her power to avoid it. I've been trying to get Hinata to see a therapist way before Uchiha convinced her to."

Sasuke grunted at this. After the whole ordeal was exposed. Sasuke figured that was the reason Hinata didn't want to see a therapist.

Neji chuckled at the memory. "You two have seen Hinata when she's cornered and cannot escape. When she's forced to face her demons and can't have what she wants. When I first asked her to go to the therapist she freaked out on me. Said every mean thing she could think of to get me to go away from her and never bring the situation up again. Her main objective was to never have you two find out. She was terrified how you'd view her."

Naruto looked up at Neji. Shock on his face. He didn't believe it. "She snapped at you? She never snaps at you, and gets mad if anyone else says anything mean about you. Let me guess. She apologized immediately after and did a bunch of nice things to show she was sorry."

Neji shrugged and grinned at Naruto. "It's part of the addiction. She has a moment of weakness and realizes she had that moment. So she does everything in her power to fix it. It used to be bad when she was really recovering while you two were away. Rehab is one thing, but to be home around all your triggers and to have a father watching you like a hawk so she couldn't leave. Hinata LOST IT. I think having Kakashi around as a safe haven. Outside of home was her only salvation. That and missions. Then her meltdowns lessened. Her shakes stopped. She started hanging out with Ino and Sakura. She was living a normal life. You two came back and it was like she was never addicted to anything. These small meltdowns she has now is heaven compared to her beginning recovery. Six years clean, she still has some ways to go."

Neji again shrugged his shoulders. A genuine smile gracing his face.

"That being said. All that is kind of thrown out the window when Hinata is around you two. She is so good at avoiding conflict and serious conversations. Yet, you two know everything. She just tells it to you two. She trusted you two as teammates and opened up to you. That wouldn't have happened if she was paired with people that took her shyness and smiles for just a 'trait'. Hinata is a 180 around you two. In a good way. She turns into a real fire cracker over you two. Yet, at the same time she is submissive to you. Not in a doormat way. She actually listens to what you say in a positive note. She wants to make you two proud."

Naruto was silent for a bit. He thought about everything. "Man. I can't believe I just never realized it. This whole time I thought you two were on some weird incest shit."

Sasuke's mouth dropped open when he looked at Naruto. Thank the heavens he wore sunglasses. He couldn't believe Naruto just flat out said that. "Dobe." That's all Sasuke could say. He was literally stunned into silence.

Sasuke slowly looked at Neji to see he looked just as stunned. Neji's face was completely red and his mouth was hanging open. "WHAT?!"

Naruto looked at Neji nonchalantly. "Seriously. I was waiting for it to come out or something. It all makes sense now though. You two closeness. The way you two can silently communicate with one another. It was needed back then. Your overprotectiveness. It was off the charts man. Like when we got married. I was for sure you wanted Hinata for yourself. I was fucking BLOWN. Now I get it and it's all fine. Now I see that my jealousy kind of got in the way of me seeing the issue. So, I get it now. Like I could clearly see it wasn't 'training' and Hinata was getting abused, but I didn't see…the other stuff."

Neji calmed his nerves slightly. He ran his hands through his hair and freed it of the bun. His hair falling down to the end of his back. "You're right. This conversation stays with us and doesn't go to Hinata or Tenten. It better not hit Tenten. You are insane Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto watched Hinata come outside with Tenten and the kids. He was insane. For Hinata.

Once everything was settled and the two family's enjoyed themselves outside. The toddlers played. Hana was adored by everyone and finally night fell upon them and all the little ones were sleeping.

Hinata walked outside to the bon fire that was lit. Giant bean bags littered the ground around the fire. Hinata had just placed Hana to sleep. All the little ones were in one room and the adults weren't far from the beach house. Plus Naruto left a clone inside to watch over them.

Tenten looked at Hinata gratefully. "Hinata. You're so good with the kids. We should send them to you for the holidays. Not many have the loving touch you have. Or the patience for Ōchō." Neji smiled at this. Still he looked slightly stressed over the matter. His son was full of energy. Very unlike him.

Hinata smiled nervously. She had a beach duster on now. Snow white color and it dragged on the ground. Her hat was put away and her long dark hair cascaded down her shoulders. "Only if it is okay with Neji."

Neji rolled his eyes at this. "You act as if it would be you watching Ōchō. It would be Naruto." Hinata giggled at this. She covered her mouth and looked over at Naruto, who grinned at the humor. It was a joke, but true at the same time.

Sasuke watched as Hinata nestled between him and Naruto in the bean bag. It was soft and they all sunk right in. There was a soft blanket that was draped over them and Hinata cuddled into Naruto and Sasuke under the blankets so no one could see. "If you send them, then it is only fair we send ours."

Naruto and Hinata looked at Sasuke when he said this. A proud grin covered Naruto's face. This was a big step for Sasuke in fixing his relationship with Hinata's family. Neji smirked at this. It actually seemed to bring him joy hearing this. "That works for me."

Tenten smiled and her eyes lit up as a memory popped in her head. "Hinata. Do you remember how you and Neji used to sneak Hookah into the Hyuga compound? I would sneak over and we'd smoke it for hours trying to hide the smell."

Neji and Hinata blushed a little from the rebellious memory. "Tenten." They both said this at the same time, but Naruto and Sasuke looked interested. Naruto looked at Hinata before he looked at Tenten. "No tell me! I swear Hinata has done so much, but won't say anything."

Sasuke smirked at this. "Faking as a goodie two shoe."

Tenten laughed and Neji rolled his eyes for the tenth time that day. He looked amused though. He didn't mind telling this story. "I got this Hookah from the red-light district. It was smaller than the one I have now. Just something that they'd sell to minors because they knew we wanted it. Me and Hinata would walk around and find flavors we wanted, buy them and take them home to try out."

Now Naruto frowned. He looked at Hinata from their cuddled position and she sunk a little in the bean bag. She made an 'EEP' sound and poked her fingers together. "Hinata. I thought you promised me not to go out there anymore."

Sasuke gave her the side eye. Gears in his head turning. "How DID you find out about the red-light district? Even I didn't know about it until Naruto told me." Neji arched an amused brow as he looked at Hinata. "I see you're just as protective over me Hinata. I'm surprised Hinata never told you, to pull attention off of herself."

Neji shrugged his shoulders. "I went there when I was little to smoke marijuana. By the time Hinata got old enough to realize I was sneaking out. She followed me and found out about it. Her preference was not the same as mine."

Naruto still eyed Hinata and curiosity crossed his face. "Well did you try it?" Hinata blushed heavily and played with her fingers. "I did. That was SO long-ago Naruto-kun." Naruto finally cracked a grin. He laughed as Hinata hugged his arm and shook his head. "Oh no! Don't play coy!"

Sasuke cuddled more into the bean bag and looked at Hinata. "You two were a menace. I was right about you. All along."

Neji and Tenten were deep in there bean bag as well. A blanket draped over them and Tenten snuggled to Neji. "What did you say?"

Naruto smirked as he looked at Sasuke, who smirked in return. "When we were trying to get Hinata to admit she was doing some type of drug. I told her she fit the profile of a rich teenager that played with drugs."

Neji's eyes lit up. He actually threw his head back and laughed. Hinata gave him a dirty look before a small smile graced her face as well. "It's not funny Neji." Said person laughed so hard he covered his mouth to silence himself. Once he controlled himself he looked at Hinata. "It is a bit funny and a little true."

Neji shrugged his shoulders after saying this. Evidence to show his mental progression. How a lot of his past didn't bother him to talk about anymore. "We had the money. The drugs and the alcohol. It's true and funny if you think about it."

Hinata puffed her cheeks and played with the blanket a little. "I suppose if you think about it like that. No one would expect this type of behavior from me and you Neji."

Naruto grunted amused at the conversation. "Pfft. I know I didn't. This all explains a lot. How when I was younger, I'd find you out near my neighborhood. I used to think to myself. How the hell did this girl get out here from that big ass house? Now I know. Doing something she shouldn't have been doing."

Naruto's amused look turned heated, he grinned at Hinata and she knew that look from those multicolored eyes. "You should have invited me along Princess." Hinata felt Naruto's hand under the blanket. He was being very naughty.

His hands wandered her bare belly and pulled her closer to him. Naruto sunk into the bean bag so he was on Hinata's height level. Staring at her face to face. Watching her eyes widen and her cheeks dust. Hinata grabbed his hand gently. The corner of her lips twitched to hide the fact she was liking this. "Naruto-kun." She whispered this, because they could NOT do this in front of her brother.

"So, I'm curious. If you don't mind."

Hinata looked at Tenten with a nervous grin. "Yes?" She was refraining from laughing at Naruto's wandering hands. Sasuke could feel them. He felt Naruto's hand as he messed with Hinata. It was all Naruto's way of four play.

Naruto has always been a fan of public display of affection. Being deprived it when he was a kid, Naruto wanted to always show off who he was with. When he got comfortable with Sasuke, he was the same way in public. He wanted people to know who was his.

"So. Like with the whole polygamy thing. Who decided who's having this child? The twins were great because Naruto and Sasuke both have a child, what about now. With your first girl?"

Neji eyes were closed at first. He was really just relaxing, until he heard his wife ask such a personal question. Neji opened one eye and looked at Tenten. "What?"

Sasuke answered this one. "Me. This one is mine. Naruto doesn't want as many children as I do. It's something talked about already."

Neji closed his eyes again and grunted. "Hn. This will all be interesting down the road. Mixing the Byakugan and Sharingan is dangerous. Our clans never tried to mix together. Historically. Uchiha and Hyuga's look for partners that genes would lie doormat to their dōjutsu. That way it's guaranteed our dōjutsu will thrive and live on."

Neji looked at Hinata again. Becoming slightly serious. "You decided to stay in Konoha with those judgmental people Hinata. Taifū is a perfect Hyuga. There is no problem there. Taika, you might run into problems if he does not possess the Byakugan. Furthermore with your other children. Naruto and Sasuke surely have dominant genes. The seal is abolished to desegregate, but the mindset of the traditional people of the clan are still there. You'd have to be more paranoid than you already are to make sure they don't taint your children."

Naruto smiled as he looked at Neji. "Oi. You worry too much Neji. Not saying you're wrong, but…I'm not worried. Taifū and Taika are my boys. If there is any problem, I'll know about it. I'll handle it and we'll continue on. Our baby girl. Is mine. Any other children. Is mine. Hinata and Sasuke are mine. You get what I'm saying?"

Naruto's tail wrapped around Hinata and Sasuke and he smiled as he looked at Neji.

Neji's eyes were still lowered because he was snugged and comfortable. His dark hair fallen around his face. He smirked at Naruto in his relaxed position. "I forget. You did show me your true colors when fighting against the Akatsuki. You are a dangerous man Uzumaki."

Naruto winked at Neji with a foxy grin. "Just a little."

End of chapter.

I had to end the chapter with Naruto having big balls lol. As for the pow wows with Neji and Sasuke, it was a long time coming. Sasuke has been holding this in since he first met Neji. Everything Naruto was willing to brush under the rug. Sasuke was not having it. He's someone that holds on to grudges.

Tenten and Hinata are more understanding of one another, and Tenten was more upset that Hinata was willing to suffer more than anything. So it was easier for them to make up.

While I am not a fan of doing page breaks, I felt like it was needed for this chapter. Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It was pretty fun to write.

See you Wednesday!
