Hinata carefully climbed through Naruto's bedroom window, suppressing her chakra so she wouldn't be found out, though, she doubt anyone would notice her anyway. Naruto didn't exactly live in the most populated district of Konoha, being on the outskirts of town and all.
She'd learned early on that he never kept his windows locked. She thought it was some type of psychological comfort, he never wanted to feel trapped and when he was home, his windows were always opened. She felt instantly better as Naruto's familiar scent wafted through the air.
Hinata knew she couldn't go back to the Hyuga compound. The Byakugan would surely be able to detect the disruption in her chakra system from the baby. Eventually she would have to go home, but for now, she knew she could hide out here.
Hinata surveyed the small apartment, sighing as she did so. The poor apartment seemed to be worse for ware. The yellow paint on the walls was chipping and cracking, the kitchen appliances were outdated, and quite frankly, the bathroom wasn't in any better shape. Used Ramen cups littered the place everywhere and when Hinata opened the door to Naruto's bedroom she couldn't believe the disaster zone she'd walked into.
Scrolls and kunai were everywhere, clothing hung on every piece of furniture, and his small double bed's sheets were in a disarray. Blowing out hot hair, she sprawled out on the messy bed.
She could see the cracks in the ceiling and felt saddened at the state of Naruto's living quarters. With a new resolve, she firmly set out to make this place a real home so she could surprise him when he returns from his mission. Tomorrow she would get to work, but for now, she needed to get some sleep.
Rummaging around on the floor, she picked up a white t-shirt, sniffed it, and then proceeded to put said shirt on. Slipping off her pants, she found a pair of green boxers and slipped them on, immediately feeling herself relax into comfort.
Naruto's clothes smelled just like him and since they were big on her, they were baggy and comfortable.
Slipping back into bed, she burrowed under the messy covers, straightening them out as she did so. Hinata had quite the to-do list on her agenda tomorrow so she needed all the rest she could get.
Sleep claimed her relatively quickly. She never realized how exhausted she truly was, her chakra going to two people and all. When the morning sun's rays hit her closed eyes, she scrunched her face up in retaliation.
Letting out a low groan, she rolled over onto her stomach and put Naruto's pillow over her face. Hinata was never a morning person by choice, so anything before the hours of 12 noon on her days off were off limits.
However, chancing a look at Naruto's bedside clock she could see the time read nine. In what world would she get up this early willingly.
As if suddenly remembering her tasks for the day, she stood on her hands and knees, stretching like a cat. Kicking the covers off her, she stood up and then turned to make the bed.
If you make your bed every morning, then you've already accomplished the first task of the day. At least, that's what her father used to say. It was a habit that had been drilled and disciplined into her since she was little. A Hyuga never left their living quarters in a pig-sty.
She knew she couldn't possibly do all of these things she had planned in a day, but Naruto wasn't due back home for at least two more months so it wasn't like she had to rush either.
First and foremost she needed to enlist the help of one of her two most trusted people. Ino Yamanaka.
You might be wondering how someone like Ino would choose to be best friends with Hinata, but after Sakura and Ino's fallout over Sasuke during their Genin years, they slowly drifted apart. As a result though, Ino had found herself running into the blue haired ninja more and more. Ino had also confided in her about her newfound love for her brown haired, lazy teammate.
Hinata being the expert on all things unrequited, was able to offer understanding and support. It was one of the main reasons they grew so close together. She wasn't going to tell anyone she was pregnant, though. She wanted Naruto to be the first one to know. It was their secret to divulge, not her own.
Picking up Naruto's landline, she dialed the number to the Yamanaka household. Thankfully, Ino had picked up the phone right away.
"Yamanaka residence Ino speaking."
"Ino-chan, it's Hinata. Can you meet me at Naruto's apartment in about an hour?"
"Naruto's apartment? Um...sure. But you better explain the details later, got it?"
Hinata laughed. "Of course Ino-chan. I'll see you then."
Hanging up the phone, Hinata smiled. She looked around the apartmentapartment, blushing as she recalled the last time she'd been in it.
-Flashback-
Hinata let out a soft, breathy moan as Naruto pulled her body close to his in a heated kiss, his noticeable bulge prodding Hinata's own desire. They'd left the party awhile ago and seemed to continue it here, in Naruto's small one bedroom apartment.
This was the moment Hinata had wanted and waited for since she was a young pre-teen girl. All her research, reading, and tips for how to please a man would finally come to fruition. She could barely contain herself.
Hinata eagerly pulled off Naruto's orange shirt, basking in the feel of his well defined pecs and chiseled abs as she slid her hands up and down his chest. This man was a bronze god and she was lucky enough to witness this uncharted territory.
Hinata immediately attacked his neck, sucking softly on his pulse point. Her hand made it's way to Naruto's black ninja pants and slipped between the waist band of his boxers to grip him, earning the desired sound from Naruto.
"H-Hinataaa..." She loved the way he drew out her name, head thrown back in obvious pleasure. Growing tired of her own state of dress, she shrugged off her top and then pulled off Naruto's pants so he was only in his boxers.
Without warning, Hinata could have sworn Naruto's eyes flashed red as he let out a low growl, picking her up in his arms and all but throwing her onto his bed. He hungrily attacked her neck and chest, kissing everywhere, leaving no plain or valley untouched. Her pert nipples called to him and he eagerly thumbed her right one while sensually licking her left.
Hinata was in heaven, mind clouded with lust and alcohol. All coherent thought processes had left her long ago. She had one goal in mind and one goal only.
Become one with Uzumaki Naruto.
-Flashback End-
A knock on the door brought Hinata out of her musings.
Ino walked in carrying a bunch of grocery bags. "I figured we could have lunch later." Hinata was grateful for the food. Surely, after all the work they would be putting into the apartment today, they'd work up quite the appetite later.
"Thank you Ino-chan. Now I'll need your help..."
"Naruto you idiot slow down! We're not going to finish this mission any sooner just because you run at the speed of light. Hokage-Sama assigned us a three month long mission. It hasn't even been two weeks." Kiba all but shouted at said Shinobi.
Naruto growled but slowed down none the less. Shikamaru, Neji, Sai, and Kiba sighed in relief. Naruto's stamina was insane.
"I miss Hinata! I want to get back as soon as possible." Neji glared.
"Hinata-sama? Are you...are you dating Hinata-sama?" Naruto smirked. They hadn't exactly gone public with their relationship, but everyone knew that they were together or at least suspected they were, they could usually be seen at Ichiraku together.
"We do more than just date, Neji." Shikamaru had to restrain the young Hyuga prodigy who'd already activated his Byakugan, ready to strike.
"Enough! We have a mission to complete. Naruto, Hinata will be fine. She will be there when you get back. Neji, Hinata is old enough to make her own decisions, please get a hold of yourself." Shikamaru admonished already feeling a headache coming on. Begrudgingly, the Hyuga male calmed down, still sending the blonde Shinobi death glares.
Naruto just kept smirking, fantasizing about Hinata's luscious backside and generous rack. He relished the fact that Hinata was his and his alone and Neji could do nothing about that fact that his sweet little cousin was practically screaming his name under him a few weeks ago.
He was starting to get a boner just thinking about it.
Quickly directing his thoughts back to the mission, his expression turned serious. It was an A-rank mission with the possibility of turning S-Rank. They were tasked with scouting and infiltration of a possible Akatsuki hideout and were only to engage if necessary.
With Sasuke joining their ranks and going after his good friend B, it was up to Naruto to stop him. He'd already tried to assassinate the Raikage and who knows what other diplomatic problems Sasuke will cause Konoha.
It left Naruto angry and defeated. Sasuke was still somewhere in there deep down, he knew his best friend and brother and this...rouge was not him.
"I see four ninja up ahead, Chunin level by the looks of it. Do we engage or go around?" Shikamaru shook his head.
"We go around them. Hokage-Sama said this was a scouting mission first and foremost. We shouldn't needlessly waste our chakra and resources."
Naruto created three shadow clones and instructed them to search the area and keep an eye on those ninja. They altered their route slightly and continued on towards Ame and Kumo.
Naruto stared up at the sky, thinking of the beauty waiting for him at home. He'd finally found what he'd always wanted, love, and he was cruelly sent away on a three month mission.
He'd also recently discovered the wonders of sex, and was exponentially frustrated now that his only source was far out of his reach. Your right hand just doesn't give you the same satisfaction and can only do so much.
With a defeated breath he continued forward, trying to bring his mind back onto the mission at hand. It was going to be a long two months.
"Hinata how does this look?" Ino held up a new canvas in the living room, tilting it to the right or left to try and balance the piece of art. The yellow and green pineapple on canvas complemented the dark grey/blue color of the newly painted walls. The white paneling that lined the doorways and wall bases gave the whole apartment a modern and updated look.
"Mmm, a little to the left. No my left. Okay yes, right there. Perfect." Ino grabbed her pencil and marked the spots, double checking her leveler to make sure the picture was straight. Smiling in satisfaction, she removed the picture and grabbed her drill and nails. She began to drill holes into the spots she marked with her pencil. After she hammered in the nails, she hung the picture back up on the wall.
Ino took several steps back and admired her work. They'd been remodeling the apartment for nearly three weeks now, slowly but surely everything was coming together. The only room that still needed to be renovated was the bedroom, but Hinata wanted to save that for last. She needed time to come up with the perfect idea, something that would fit both her and Naruto's tastes.
Turning around, Hinata surveyed the kitchen, absolutely pleased with her handiwork. Of course, they had the help of Rock Lee and Gai-Sensei for some of the heavy lifting, but, for the most part Ino and Hinata had done pretty much everything.
The walls in the kitchen were a soft green color, the brand new cabinets were a dark mocha and the grayish granite counter tops completed the sleek and modern look. Brand new stainless steel appliances replaced the old ones. A high tech refrigerator, a brand new gas stove and oven, as well as a new microwave, coffee maker, and new pots, pans, and the like.
Various plants sat in the kitchen window, where underneath, a brand new sink shined in the sunlight's reflection. The detachable knob on the faucet allowed for easy cleaning of dishes (to avoid the pile-up's Naruto was prone too).
"Naruto is going to freak out when he sees this. Please promise you'll record his reaction?"
Hinata smiled. "Of course I will, Ino-chan. I want to remember the moment forever. Naruto deserves a nice place to live at the very least. After all he has been through, it is really so minimal. I'm just happy I could be the one to give this gift to him."
Hinata had to bite back a chuckle at the double meaning of her words.
She could feel the effects of her pregnancy more and more as time goes on. 11 weeks into the pregnancy and her symptoms were practically in full swing, if the morning sickness was any indication. She was approaching her third month, and you could just barely make out her baby bump underneath her black tank top when she took off her jacket.
She also had only one more week to confront her father about her pregnancy. She was glad to be kept busy, the nesting symptoms distracted her. She wasn't sure where the fate of her baby and herself would end up, but one thing was for certain, Hinata was ready to denounce her name, her status as clan heir, and everything under the sun in order to protect her baby.
She would give Naruto the family he always wanted, even if they had jumped the gun on everything.
"Well, I think that's enough remodeling for one day. I'll see you next week, okay Hina?" Hinata grabbed a bento from the fridge and handed it to Ino.
"Thank you for helping me Ino-chan. Eat this today, okay?" Ino hugged her friend.
"You're too sweet Hina! I will, thanks. Bye!"
And then there were two.
Hinata surveyed the newly renovated apartment again with a critical eye. She wanted everything to be absolutely perfect for when Naruto returned from his mission. She walked back into Naruto's bedroom and sat on his bed. It took a few days, but she'd finally cleaned the room up so that it looked like an actual bedroom.
Clothes were neatly hung up in the closet, a previously unused bookshelf now housed all of his scrolls, kunai, and various items that had littered the floors, and everything had been dusted.
Hinata was going to repaint the walls a soft orange color with one wall being a light, baby yellow. Near that baby yellow wall, would be the babies bassinet and small nursery area. There was just barely enough room for everything. Since Naruto only had a one bed-room apartment, they would be cramped for awhile and there was no way they would be moving anytime soon (money was also another issue, especially if Hinata is stripped of her Hyuga name).
There was still work to be done in the bedroom, but it would be fine as is for now.
Hinata had ordered them a brand new bed that was going to be arriving tomorrow. Naruto was now the proud owner of a double bed, instead of his single twin bed. Hinata was also thankful that she would be able to spread out more. Despite her shy and quiet personality, she was in fact a very active sleeper.
She felt her stomach start to rumble and bit back a groan. She didn't understand why they called it morning sickness when she literally felt nauseous any time of the day and sometimes even all day.
Running to the toilet, she emptied what little contents were in her stomach from breakfast. She groaned and wiped the back of her mouth with her hand, rinsing out her mouth with water in the sink.
"You're going to be a troublemaker like your father, aren't you?" Hinata couldn't help but talk to her stomach, silently willing the nausea to subside. She had heard wonderful things about pregnancy, that it was a blessing and a gift and the nine months were a wonderful and cherished time.
Yeah, right. Tell that to the puking teenager.
"Naruto will you SHUT THE HELL UP! For the love of Kami, if you complain one more time about not being able to see Hinata I will personally shove my kunai into your head." Neji had had just about enough of the annoying blonde. Having to put up with him for another month was surely going to drive him mad. He didn't know if he was going to be able to survive or not.
"You wish you could have sex with TenTen just as much, Ne-jiiiiii"
Neji opened his mouth, but bit back his retort, begrudgingly admitting a small defeat. If he was any less of a man, he too would be complaining about the lack of intimacy from his girlfriend. But he was a Hyuga and he was dignified.
"That's why I'm single. I've hit up what, five brothels since we started this mission? Sucks to suck." Kiba bragged, sporting a grin that showed his sharp K-9's. Naruto, Shikamaru, Naruto, and Neji all grumbled with an unspoken jealousy. Why couldn't they just teleport to their girlfriends?
"May I suggest to create a shadow clone and henge into your girlfriend? I read in a book once that-" Naruto blanched.
"Alright Sai, that's enough."
"Look, we're all sexually frustrated. We will be for another two months. Let's accept this fact now and finish the mission in peace, okay?" Shikamaru all but pleaded, begging for some peace and quiet.
He missed Ino too, but he had a mission to complete first and foremost.
"Wait, guys...do you hear that?" Kiba stopped the group, pointing over to a thick brush of bush to their left.
Neji immediately turned his eyes towards the sounds, sliding into his gentle fist stance. "Two rouge ninja's, at least Jounin level, heading right for us."
"ALRIGHT! FINALLY SOME ACTION DATTEBAYO!" Unfortunately for Naruto, it wasn't the right kind of action.
Chapter 2 finito! Yay! Onward to chapter 3 :D Forward...march!
