Another random chapter! can you tell I really wanted them to kiss? LOL! Things are getting crazy and wild, but its all worth it! We find out about Naruto and Karin's past, not to mention a new name and cliffhanger! My sister glared at me when I told myself it was the end of this chapter, but the next will be just as good I PROMISE! Maybe not that rushed, idk.

I just needed my babes to kiss and needed them to kiss NOW! SASUHINA STORY BTW, IF YOU DONT LIKE, EXIT NOW!

This chapter seems all over the place, but it'll all make sense soon with a lot more drama in the mix! This chapter has mentions of rape and murder. (Also wanna mention that we've all been kids once, and we've all been curious. It may not have happened to you, but 7yr olds get curious too((Hinting to the end of the chapter)))

Please, enjoy this chapter and NO; I DO NOT OWN NARUTO! BUT... ITACHI, WHERE YOU AT?

His eyes fluttered open as he muffled a yawn, he couldn't wake the sleeping redhead next to him right now, not when he had business to take care of. Well, I mean, yeah… he fell asleep— BUT SEX WAS SEX, AND SEX WAS TIRING!

He smirked once he saw his "girlfriend" next to him in dreamland, a place he would've rathered than being up at- ' 2 am?!' He thought as he fought back a sigh.

Itachi told him to confirm their findings, and that's exactly what he was about to do with maybe more findings in the mix. Yeah, he wasn't planning on getting her into bed nor was he planning on getting her drunk, but he saw it all as a plus to his plan.

He slid out of bed with ease, scanning the room for her purse as soon as his feet touched the ground. His mother always told him to be kind to women, to never ask a woman's age, and to never go into a woman's purse without permission but… this was acceptable… kinda?

He walked towards the bag and gripped it, eyeing the thing as though it held all the secrets and swiftly yet silently made his way into the bathroom with the door locked. 'Let's see..' He thought, opening the purse to find things he never thought could confuse him so much.

HOURS LATER…

"What?!" Her close friend exclaimed while practically yanking her hand in hers to study the engagement ring.

She giggled a bit and nodded, looking down at her engagement ring with her until she yanked her into a hug. She would've loved the hug if she wasn't actually struggling to breathe from how tight it was. "T-Tenten-"

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm just… so happy for you, Nata." Tenten said, placing her hands on her shoulders as they looked at each other and sighed happily. "It's a big step though, he just better live up to it." She warned, plopping down on her couch as Hinata hesitantly nodded.

"N-Naruto is in this for me and Soseki-"

"Yes, but we all know how Naruto gets. I'm not trying to doubt him, but he can be… childish sometimes and all over the place. I just don't want you getting hurt in the mix." Tenten explained, frowning once Hinata nervously shifted her stance so decided to clarify. "Listen, you're my only female best friend and I don't want someone, who I do consider a friend, to hurt my best friend, because then I'd have to hurt him." She said simply, shrugging her shoulders as Hinata gasped.

"H-He isn't going to h-hurt me-"

"I know I'm not always around with my job being out of town and everything, but when I am in town Soseki tells me everything." She confronted, causing her best friends eyebrows to furrow.

"E-Everything?" Hinata asked, getting a slow nod out of her very close friend.

They've been friends ever since High school and stayed friends once Tenten graduated with Neji's class. It shocked everyone, even her, but she and Tenten got along better than any of her other female friends. It was less drama with Tenten than with Ino and Sakura, not to mention their nights in during summers watching nothing but scary movies to comedy.

Around the time Sasuke left though, Tenten left. She's always wanted to build and be free from their "shitty" town, so as soon as she turned the right age, she left. They talked nearly every day which kept Hinata strong during her struggle along with her in-laws, but it never helped fully until they hugged in person and Tenten declared to beat Sasuke no matter Hinata's protest.

Hinata bit her lower lip at that, hoping Tenten actually forgot about hurting Sasuke because she wanted them all to meet up with Soseki as Tenten surprised her by coming into town… little did she know Hinata had her engagement surprise for her.

"Where is that little brat anyway?" Tenten asked with a small laugh, causing Hinata to tense. "Because last time I was heree, he said how you and Naruto were "arguing"." She teased as Hinata's face became a tomato.

"H-He's actually visiting with his fa-father. I was th-thinking about us visiting them actually." Hinata suggested, going for her purse until Tenten gripped her wrist to stop her movements.

"Wait, Sasuke's visiting town?" Tenten asked, causing Hinata to shake her head. "Sasuke's living back in Konoha?" She asked, causing Hinata to bite her lower lip. "Holy shit, Hinata! Why didn't you tell me?" She gasped, covering her mouth as Hinata stressfully ran her fingers through her hair and plopped down on her couch. She covered her face and shook her head.

"I-I don't know!" Hinata breathed, resting her arms on her legs as Tenten leaned back on the couch. "Th-These past few months have been… very stressful… and-and I've been dealing with Sasuke and Naruto arguing for… I-I don't even know how long." She practically cried but didn't. "I-I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, I-I just forgot and wa-wanted-"

"Hey, hey, Nata… it's okay, you don't need to cry or hyperventilate. I understand." Tenten reassured with a small smile. "And I'd love to see my godson along with his father, whenever you're ready." She said, causing Hinata's eyes to widen.

"Without violence?" She asked yet Tenten pretended not to hear. "Tenten-"

"I won't hurt him if you don't stutter." She said, crossing her arms once Hinata bit her lower lip. "It's like your stutters got worse, and I don't like it." She frowned and tucked a hair behind her best friends ear. "I'm staying for two weeks, one hit every time you stutter." She suddenly declared, sticking her hand out for Hinata to take ahold of the deal.

"I-I don't-"

Tenten smirked and shrugged once Hinata hid her face. "Listen, before I left I helped you with your stutters to the point you barely stuttered unless sad or mad, now you do it when you're happy and-"

"And nervous!" She squealed, causing Tenten to chuckle.

"Shake my hand." She continued to laugh once Hinata shook her head. "Listen, I don't like him. He's hurt you, so I hurt him, but not rough since you weirdly still protect him-"

"He-" She bit her lower lip to fight back the stutters that were like a second nature. "He's Soseki's father, of course… of course, I'll protect him." She defended, fighting back the urge to nervously play with her fingers. 'All the heavens above, I'm going to explode!'

"Come on, Nata. You could use that excuse on anyone but me, do you still love him?" She asked, causing the woman to gasp with a small blush that answered her almost immediately. "If you do, why are you with Naruto?-"

"Be-Because I love him!" Hinata exclaimed with a smaller gasp that made Tenten shake her head. "Sorry-"

"Are you in love with him or are you still in love with Sasuke?" The brunette asked, frowning once Hinata froze at that. She wasn't trying to break the poor girl, but she knew better than anyone how serious weddings were. "Come on, let's go see that brat of ours. I miss his chubby cheeks." She sighed with a small smile that knocked Hinata out of her thoughts and back into the real world.

"Y-Yeah-"

"Three punches-"

"Tenten!"

It's been a very… weird morning. Hell, it's been a very weird week. He didn't understand most of what he found in Karin's purse, but as soon as he got to her notes and her phone… everything was answered. 'Naruto…' He thought as he looked in the mirror.

It was practically early afternoon and Karin just left, leaving him with ten minutes to get ready for Itachi and Shisui to arrive. They were all supposed to meet up and discuss his disturbing findings before Suigetsu and his brothers' team got here.

Hell, he still didn't know what he was going to do with Soseki. Speaking of Soseki, "Son, are you finished with your food?" He asked, getting no reply but heard the rustling of the child running to his bedroom. 'Hn, probably didn't hear me..' He thought as he picked the comb up and Soseki ran into his bathroom. "Did you finish your food?" He asked once more, watching the child through the mirror.

"Yes- Well, kinda?" He questioned more himself than his father but noticed the look on his father's face so decided to explain. "I-I finished my pancakes and eggs, but I have a-a few sausages left." He explained as he studied his socks. 'He's gonna be maddd.' He thought to himself as Sasuke nodded.

"You were mostly watching tv though, correct?" Sasuke asked his son whom hesitantly nodded. "That's fine, as long as you're full-"

"D-Daddy, I-I kinda made a mess." Soseki told on himself, looking away once Sasuke stopped his movements. "When I laughed… I-I kinda um… knocked my juice on the chair and-and ground-"

"When?"

"R-Right before you called me, I-I was trying to clean it up b-but I think I only made it worse!" Soseki exclaimed, frowning once his socks became blurry. Sasuke watched as his son shook and placed the comb down. "I-I'm sorry, daddy-"

"Soseki, it's okay." He reassured, getting on his knee to pull his son into a hug. "Don't cry, I don't care about it." He said, furrowing his eyebrows as the child continued to cry. 'Was that not the right words to say?' He bit his lower lip and rubbed his sons back. "I'll clean it up after I finish getting together." He assured his son as they released each other.

"C-Can I get ready with you?" Soseki asked with a weak smile that brought a smile to Sasuke's lips.

"Hn, okay. Get a chair so you can see your reflection." He scooted closer to the wall as Soseki sprinted off and came back with the chair he ruined. "Doesn't look that bad." He lied, but the child smiled nonetheless.

"I wanna learn how to shave! Can you teach me? T-There's this girl at school that I wanna impress…" Soseki mumbled, blushing as Sasuke arched an eyebrow. 'Six and has a crush? Psh, I ran from girls at six!'

"A girl, eh? What's her name?" He asked as he shook the bottle of his shaving cream. He wanted to get in a quick shower, but if Soseki wanted to get ready with him, that'll have to be a bath. 'Shave, bath, get dressed.' He listed, being mentally prepared if not physically.

The child giggled, smiling just like him at that age. "Misaki, she's so pretty daddy…" Soseki chimed, rocking back and forth as Sasuke placed the shaving cream on his cheeks. "She has blue eyes and black hair and a cute laugh and a cute smile and—" The child sighed, looking at the mirror as Sasuke began doing his own face. "I think I'm in love." He breathed, surprisingly causing Sasuke to burst out into a small laugh, a laugh Soseki's never heard, so decided to join. "I'm serious, daddy." He giggled, watching as Sasuke looked away.

"Do you know what Love is?" He asked his son once he finally stopped his sudden outburst and the child furiously nodded. "What is it then?" He asked, twirling the razor in the water as Soseki watched and explained his version of love.

"Love is what I feel whenever I look at mommy and you and auntie and uncles, Love is what I feel whenever I eat mommy's cooking or your pancakes, Love is what I feel whenever I look at Misaki… I feel sad whenever she's sad just like I feel it whenever you're not home or mommy's sad." Soseki explained which paused Sasuke's movements. 'No stutters..' "Daddy?" Soseki asked, snapping Sasuke out of his little thought.

"Uchiha men love deeply, Soseki." Sasuke began, shaving the side of his face as Soseki nodded in agreement as he watched. "I've loved your mother for quite some time now, and I don't think I'll ever stop. The same goes for your uncle Itachi who's in love with your auntie, and your grandfather who's in love with your grandmother. We love deeply, we love loyally, and we love passionately. You're still too young to fully understand that concept, but you will learn eventually." He explained, causing Soseki to frown.

"Am I deeply in love with Misaki?" He asked his father whom simply shrugged. "How do I find out?" He asked as Sasuke swirled the razor in the water.

"Well, do you want to… kiss her?" Sasuke asked, cringing himself at this conversation as his son too cringed.

"Kiss kiss her? Or like… how mommy kisses my cheek?"

"Well, your mother kisses you because she's your mother. Kiss kiss, a lovers kiss. Which you're too young to have a lover, so if kiss kiss, wait till you're older." He said, finishing up his right cheek as his son thought about that.

"I do want to kiss kiss her, but I'll wait… for how long? How does it feel? Oh! Have you and mommy kissed before? I've never seen you two kiss, is it good?" He asked, causing his father to nearly blush over how embarrassing this truly was starting to become.

"We've kissed before." He said simply, frowning once he finished shaving and turned towards his son. "Stand still." He ordered, cleaning the razor before he began and Soseki nodded. "Don't move your head either." He said, which caused the child to nod but quickly stopped.

"G-Got it." He spoke as he watched his father's phone light up. "You got a message, daddy. And you still didn't answer how it felt nor how old I have to be-"

"My first kiss was at thirteen, so let's say that age. That gives you seven more years, so don't try growing up too fast, okay?" He spoke lowly, more focused on not cutting his son's cheek than the vibrations of his phone.

"How did it feel?" He asked once more as Sasuke held his head still.

"Lovely, try not to talk. Razors are sharp and one bad stroke can cut you, you don't want that." Sasuke explained, causing the child to give him a thumbs up. "Every kiss with your mother was lovely because we loved each other. We still do, just… not like that, for her at least." He breathed, twirling the razor in the water once Soseki shook his head.

"She does love you still, j-just whiskers…" The child drifted off, balling his fist as Sasuke turned back around. "Do us Uchiha men f-fight?" He suddenly asked, causing Sasuke to raise an eyebrow.

"Why?"

"Be-Because, I'm going to fight whiskers!" He declared, causing Sasuke to smirk as he held his head still to shave once more.

"Naruto is way bigger than you-"

"I'll kick him in his goods!-"

"Don't talk, you'll get cut. And, I don't think your mother would appreciate that." He defended, keeping his smirk intact as the child in front of him frowned. "I know you want your mother and me together but… we-" They both stopped their conversation as a knock on the front door erupted. "Damn, must be your uncle." He breathed, finishing the child's cheek before they both made their way towards the living room. "Coming." He called, looking back at Soseki who rubbed his soft face. "Get your clothes ready for a bath." He said as he opened the door-

"Okay- MOMMY!" He exclaimed, causing Sasuke's eyes to widen as the child sprinted into his mothers' arms. 'That was unexpected..' He thought as he crossed his arms and another woman popped from behind her. "Tennie!" He gasped, hugging the woman as he jumped and she picked him up with a twirl.

"Oh, my heavens! You've gotten bigger and handsomer and downright a ladykiller!" Tenten exclaimed, never releasing the child as Hinata giggled and Sasuke watched with amusement. She walked forward and hugged Sasuke, noting the smell of woods.

"Aftershave?" She asked, causing him to nod and her to bite her lower lip out of habit. "I'm sorry for um… not calling, but I… I texted-"

"It's okay, my home is your home. Who is she anyway?" He asked, crossing his arms once she nervously played with her fingers. She decided since she had to not stutter, she might as well played with her fingers… until she got used to not stuttering anymore at least.

"Tenten, my best friend when we…" She trailed off, causing him to nod. "She's in town for two weeks and well… wanted to see Soseki as soon as possible." She explained, watching as their son and her best friend caught up. "Sasuke… there's um… something I want to tell you-"

"Sasuke! Hey, you little devil." Tenten greeted, not even noticing they were having a conversation as Soseki closed the front door and Sasuke held his hand out, which she took rather strongly. "I've been meaning to talk to you about a few things, Sasuke." She said, looking him deep in the eyes as he looked back at her and Hinata.

"Why do I get the feeling it isn't nice to see me?" He asked, shaking her hand as she hardened her look.

"Because it isn't. I'm not going to bring up anything or do anything in front of Soseki, but as soon as he's out of sight." She warned, causing him to scoff.

"Whatever you have against me, drop it. The past is the past and the past is something Hinata has forgiven me for." He explained, never breaking their eye contact as she never broke their handshake. Soseki looked at his mother whom just shook her head and ran her fingers through her hair stressfully.

"I haven't forgiven you." She said, causing him to scoff once more.

"Sounds irrelevant to me."

"So let's say if something happened to Hinata and I just took Soseki, would that be irrelevant then?" She asked, tilting her head as he glared at her. "I thought not." She breathed, causing him to squeeze her hand which she copied.

"Um, daddy-"

"Soseki, go get your clothes ready for the bath." He said, never breaking his eye contact with Tenten as his son hesitantly nodded and walked towards his bedroom. "Do keep in mind I've dealt with far more threats from many bad people, but I don't think none of them wanted to get hurt so badly that they threatened me with my family-"

"Sasuke!-"

"Do keep in mind that you're the threat to your own family and I'm simply the godmother who wants my best friend and godson safe and away from you, a criminal who's only purpose is to hurt those who love you-"

"Tenten!-"

"Tsk, my purpose is to protect them-"

"Your protection is absolute nonsense, you're mostly just hiding away with lies-"

He yanked his hand away and stepped closer to her, causing her glare to waver just a bit, but she kept her ground. "Like it's any of your business-"

"It's the mother of your child's business, but again here you are, hiding. What are you, afraid? You didn't call her for six years, and you probably expected her to simply pretend nothing happened? You Uchiha men-"

"Th-That's enough!" Hinata exclaimed, placing a hand on his chest and hers, looking at the both of them as Tenten finally breathed and he frowned and looked away. "Tenten is like a-a um sister… and Sasuke, she um…-"

"It's alright." He said, closing his eyes as she sucked in a breath. He went to go take her hand off his chest, but hurt himself. "What the hell?" He mumbled as he opened his eyes only to frown deeper than he's ever frowned. "Hinata… is this…?" He asked although he knew the answer already. Tenten noticed the shocked expression on both of their faces and exited herself out of the conversation.

"I-uh- SOSEKI?! Want me to help you?" She called, making her way down the same hall she saw the child go down. Hinata went to pull her hand away, but he held it in place.

"I-I wanted to um…" She trailed off, looking away from him as he studied the engagement ring. "I-I wanted to tell you first, but Tenten surprised me and-and I knew texting it was a bad idea, not to mention c-calling! I-I just… I'm sorry-"

"Sorry for what?" He asked, dropping her hand which she wasn't prepared for. She frowned as she tried placing a hand on his cheek, but he pulled away.

"Sasuke… you… you know why I-I'm sorry, don't pretend-"

"Don't pretend to be happy for you? Fine, I won't." He scoffed, turning around to go take his bath with Soseki but stopped momentarily. "If only you knew…" He mumbled, causing her to furrow her eyebrows as he walked away.

"If only I knew what?..." She asked herself, frowning as she plopped down on his couch and played with her engagement ring, thinking back to Tenten and his confrontation a few minutes ago. He does keep secrets and only secrets from her, not Itachi or Karin or… or his mother… just her.

She wanted to know why he was truly gone for six years just like she wanted to know why Naruto was keeping secrets about Karin from her. They were both linked with the redhead and Hinata didn't like that, so what gave him a right to be upset right now about her engagement?

She didn't know if he was upset because she didn't tell him, or if he was simply upset because she was engaged to Naruto and not him. She would've been married to him by now probably on their second child if he didn't just leave her cause "decisions were made and decisions were given". It's such crap, and she knew he knew that.

Tenten has a point about him hiding from something and about him probably being afraid, but of what? Losing her? Because he's already lost her! 'Kinda...' She thought Because Tenten had another point. 'Am I still in love with him or am I in love with Naruto?...' She wondered, looking up at the ceiling as she thought about Soseki.

Tenten always was right when it came to Hinata and men, hell… she was right about Hinata being pregnant with Soseki. 'Soseki…' She felt extremely bad for the child, knowing he just wanted his parents to be together like his friend's parents, but it wasn't that easy.. 'Life isn't that easy..' Hinata thought, remembering the day Tenten told her that exact thing…

Flashback…

She flushed the toilet in Tenten's bathroom and cried, hating how she was throwing up practically nothing. It was painful, not to mention disgusting. Throwing up was always her least favorite thing to do, a reason why she'd never eat out at a seafood restaurant. 'Dammit, Kiba…' She thought as she held back her sick.

"Hey, Nata… are you okay in there?" Tenten asked, knocking on the bathroom door as she struggled to respond. "Nata?" She called, this time getting the sound of Hinata's sick. "What did you eat, Heavens.."

"I think the food from yesterday had crab!" She coughed, flushing the toilet once more when Tenten walked into the bathroom. "Don't look, I look disgusting…" She cried, covering her face as her best friend turned the lights on.

"I've seen worse, but you sure it's about the seafood yesterday? You've said you've been sick like this for weeks now…" Tenten mentioned, causing Hinata to sigh as she held onto the toilet for dear life. "You've also said how you and Sasuke had sex before he left… so-"

"We were safe." Hinata mentioned, twirling her fingers on the sides of the toilet before she stopped and slowly lifted her head. "We… we weren't safe." She mumbled to herself, thankful that Tenten didn't hear. "Tenten…"

"Did the condom break?" She asked, causing Hinata to shake her head. "Then I guess-"

"We didn't use any um… protection." Hinata admitted, placing her hands on her face as Tenten pushed herself off the wall.

"What?!" Tenten asked, which made Hinata repeat herself.

"We didn't use any p-protection!" She somewhat yelled, lifting the toilet seat to release her sick once more. Tenten watched and shook her head, pacing back and forth as Hinata continued to make unforgiven sounds.

"This isn't good, Hinata. Did he at least pull out when he…" She made the gesture which Hinata shook her head within the bowl as she flushed. "So he finished inside of you WITHOUT PROTECTION-"

"D-Don't yell at me! W-We were caught up in the moment and when we realized we didn't have any p-protection… we just continued…" She explained, causing her best friend to scoff. "D-Don't judge us-"

"Psh, like I'd ever judge you. I know what it's like to be caught up in the moment, but I'd never let the guy finish inside me." She countered, causing Hinata to cry. "Hey, I'm not judging-"

"I told him how I wasn't on the pill because of fa-father. When I mentioned being on the pill he got upset because he thought Sasuke and me-"

"Well, he was right, because I think you're pregnant, Hinata-"

"Don't say that!" She cried, shaking her head as Tenten did the same. "Maybe it's the flu-"

"I can go buy a pregnancy test?" She offered, causing Hinata to freeze. "Look, if you're pregnant or not, which I think you are, not only will I, but Sasuke will love the baby unconditionally. You say how he always talks about you two being together and having this, so what's the harm if it's earlier than you both expected? Nothing right? Not if you have me, your bestie, and Sasuke, your first true love." She reassured, rubbing Hinata's back as she hesitantly nodded. "I'll be right back then-"

"I-I want to come with.." She spoke, getting to her feet as Tenten froze for a second but nodded.

"Let's go then, and don't throw up in my car." She laughed, causing her pale friend to nod as they linked arms and left.

They sat in the car for a while before finally deciding to walk inside the corner store. It was the local stop, a stop Hinata's seen their friends enter countless of times for cigarettes, beer, condoms, etc. She just never thought she'd go into this store at her age right now to get… 'A pregnancy test.'

She stayed behind Tenten as she strutted inside and down the aisle with pregnancy test and condoms. Hinata could've fainted over how many condoms there were, and that thought made Tenten smile. 'So innocent.' "Nata, so… which one do you think Sasuke would've owned?" She teased, causing the woman to squeak as she covered her face.

"Tenten!" She shook her head as the woman laughed. "S-So inappropriate!" She lectured, uncovering her face as she gently glared at the condoms under the pregnancy test.

"Inappropriate, but you're wondering the same thing." She teased, causing the younger woman to blush deeper. "My guesses are on the Trojan ecstasy. It feels like there isn't a condom during sex while using it." She explained to her shy friend, causing her to nod as she traced her finger over a different box of condoms. "Fire and ice? I've never tried it." She admitted, picking a box up as Hinata did the same.

"Th-That's nice.." Hinata mumbled, placing the box back as Tenten laughed at her. "What?" She asked, blushing as she merely shook her head.

"Do you want to get it?" She asked, causing Hinata to blush deeper with a shake of her head. "It sounds sexy-"

"Our sex is already s-sexy-"

"Your sex life just began-"

"That's not t-true-"

"Really now? So you're telling me you two had sex before?" Tenten asked as she crossed her arms and Hinata looked away as she explained.

"We didn't, b-but we did do it more than once… We don't need any um… sexy." She explained the best she could, feeling her cheeks grow hotter as she forced more information out for the mere reason Tenten was her best friend and not some random stranger or simple friend. "N-not to mention his body." She rushed out, causing Tenten's mouth to drop as she yanked a pregnancy test and ran away with her shyness.

"Will this be all?" The man at the counter asked her as Tenten made her way towards the checkout.

"Um.." Hinata looked behind her and saw Tenten… with condoms. "Oh, heavens." She mumbled once she finally made it. "What ar-are you doing?" She asked as Tenten placed the ecstasy condoms on the counter for the man.

"Buying you condoms, call it a late birthday gift-"

"Tenten! W-We don't need condoms-"

"Am I ringing these condoms up or not?" The man asked, causing Hinata to bite her lower lip as she hesitantly nodded and he immediately rung them up.

The car ride back to Tenten's was silent. The first reason was the tension of the pregnancy test, but the second reason was simply that Hinata didn't want any damn condoms!

"Now pee." Tenten breathed, watching as Hinata struggled to keep the stick in place. "Hold it firmly and pee, I'm sure you know how to pee-"

"I-I've never peed on a stick! Nor have I peed with someone watching me…" Hinata mumbled the last part, causing Tenten to laugh a little. "I'm also sh-shaking-"

"Want me to hold the stick?-"

"Heavens, no!-"

"Then pee on the stick, I never knew pee could be so shy-"

"I-It's because you're watching me!-"

"Fine, I'll look away!" She breathed, turning around as Hinata finally released herself. "Oh you ass, you were just holding it in!" She scolded, causing Hinata to simply giggle. "Pee, pee, peeee, pee-"

"C-Can you not make a song about me peeing?" Hinata asked, causing Tenten to sigh with a small nod.

"So, if you have a girl what would you name her? After your mother right?" She asked, looking at the ceiling as Hinata thought about that. "I'm sure Mrs. Hoshiko will appreciate it…" She mumbled, getting a slow nod out of Hinata.

"I'm sure mother would love it, but what if-if I have a boy?" She questioned as she flushed the toilet and eyed the stick. Tenten turned around and leaned on the wall, closing her eyes. "H-How long do I stare at it?" Hinata asked, causing her best friend to laugh. "Don't l-laugh at me-"

"You just have to wait, Nata." She reassured, opening an eye to watch Hinata's visibly shaking hand place the pregnancy test down. "What if you're actually pregnant? What are you going to do?" She asked, frowning once Hinata held herself close.

"I-I don't know… Would Sasuke truly be h-happy? Would I truly be happy? I-I know for a fact fa-father would kill Sasuke for… even getting me to kiss him in my bedroom— Heavens, he'd kill us both, probably kick me out, disown me, humiliate me, or-or hurt my baby- if I'm even carrying— Tenten, I-I don't know!"

"If he kicks you out you can travel with me? I know it'll be kinda annoying with a baby and stuff, but the roads better than nowhere." Tenten offered, frowning once Hinata frowned. "If you're pregnant, Nata. I'm sure you'll be the best mother-"

"I-I just barely turned seventeen though, and-and I'm scared-"

"Listen, Sasuke loves you and there's no doubt in my body that says he won't love this baby… You'll be a great mother, just like he'll be a great father." Tenten said gently, rubbing Hinata's shoulder as she nervously played with her fingers.

"This might ruin his career choices though-"

"Well, life isn't that easy but you two will be happy no matter what. The love you two hold for each other speaks volumes." She smiled, looking at the test that paled her within seconds. "Holy shit…" She breathed, causing Hinata to turn around towards the pregnancy test. "Holy shit…" She said once more, causing Hinata to surprisingly repeat her.

"H-Holy… shit…" Hinata mumbled, feeling tears immediately take over her. "Holy! Holy! Tenten! I-I'm pregnant!" She cried, picking the test up as she swirled around like a madman. Tenten furiously nodded as she looked at the test closer. "I-It— I-I— I-I'm going to hyperventilate-"

"Don't!" Tenten weakly laughed, wiping a few tears of her own away. "Two lines means-"

"I-I've read it over five times on the box, it means that-that-that-"

"That you're fucking pregnant!" Tenten exclaimed, yanking her best friend into a hug as she furiously nodded and cried. "You're carrying a baby, a baby!" She cried, causing Hinata to cry harder.

"I know!" She cried, breaking their hug to rest her hand on her head. "I'm… freaking pregnant…" She said once more, placing a hand on her belly as she broke down once more. "I-It's so surreal!"

"And I'm sure Sasuke will be just as excited and happy." Tenten said, getting a nod out of Hinata as she placed both her hands on her tummy. Tenten joined and couldn't help but to feel a bit giddy, something she's never felt unless around he-who-shall-not-be-named right now.

"He-He really would be happy, our first freaking baby! W-What if it's a boy? What would his name be? Sasuke Jr?" Hinata asked herself then grimaced, shaking her head at the name as Tenten laughed.

"What about… Sochi Uchiha?" She suggested, grimacing herself as Hinata laughed and shook her head.

"What about, Seechi Uchiha?" She teased, laughing harder as Tenten pushed her and pretended to gag. "If I have twins though, Seechi and Sochi would-"

"Would so get bullied." She laughed, causing Hinata to pretend pout before joining in on the laughter. It was all lighthearted, all beautiful, and all friendly… something that the next day couldn't give… Not to the young mother at least.

Flashback end…

That whole day was something for Hinata, and sure it didn't seem like she cared back then when Tenten spoke those words, but she truly did and they truly helped. It made her hold onto her hope for Sasuke to return for as long as she did… but not as long as he needed.

"I'm a horrible person…" She mumbled to herself, jumping once Tenten plopped next to her and shook her head. "Are you okay?" She asked, noticing the sadness in her friends' eyes.

"Meh, could be better. Later on, we should get some drinks?" She asked, nudging Hinata's shoulder as she giggled with furrowed eyebrows. "I've never seen you drink." She mentioned, causing Hinata to playfully roll her eyes.

"I don't drink-"

"Bullshit, you're twenty-one, you've never drunk." She called out, causing her shy bestie to blush and look away. "You, me, Naruto, anddd Sasuke?" She suggested, causing Hinata to bite her lip.

"I-I think Sasuke's mad at me right now… but I also think I'm kinda mad at him…" She admitted, poking at her pants as Tenten tilted her head at that. "You were right… that's all I-I have to say." She explained shortly, leaning her head back as Tenten did the same.

"I said a few things though, so if you'd just…" She trailed off, causing Hinata to sigh.

"H-He acted like I-I wasn't supposed to move on… which I was… he left because "decisions were given and decisions were made", but what in the world does that mean?! Because then th-that Karin girl came into the picture and now Naruto's keeping secrets from me, e-everyone's keeping things from me and I-I can't take it anymore!" She admitted, taking in a deep breath as Tenten pulled her into her arms and they cuddled on the couch. "What do I do, Ten?" She asked, closing her eyes as she took in Tenten's earthy scent.

"Well one, you tell me everything you know about this Karin girl. And two, you tell me everything Sasuke told you about his disappearance. And finally three, we play fire with fire." She said gently, smiling down at Hinata as she looked up from her arms.

"Fire with Fire?" She asked, causing Tenten to click her tongue as she tilted her head.

"Or maybe fire with ice?" She teased, poking Hinata's side as she recalled the condoms in their youthful times.

"Oh, heavens." She giggled, shaking her head as Tenten began to laugh herself. "Okay, I'm okay with this plan." She said, sitting up as Tenten's eyes widened, definitely not expecting Hinata to be down. "B-But no hurting."

"Oh, Nata, I'm not gonna hurt anyone. We're just going to get them really drunk!" She whispered, causing her to gasp as she lifted them from the couch. "Hey, Sasuke! Nata and I will be right back! We're just buying some adult things!" She called, yanking Hinata out the apartment and towards the car within seconds.

"Oh my heavens, oh my heavens!" She giggled, allowing her to pull her as Tenten laughed like a maniac.

"Adventure timeee!" Tenten exclaimed, causing a few neighbors to give them strange looks as Hinata giggled with a nod.

"Ad-Adventure time!"

Oh did it feel good to have her best friend back in town... A town that was getting darker and darker by the second as the Hozuki brothers watched and followed, suspicious of the women who left out their acquaintances home.

He was wrapping his son in a towel once he heard Tenten shout for him and rolled his eyes, causing his son to tilt his head.

He never liked Tenten, maybe because she never liked him deep down. She tolerated him, something he only did with Hinata's friends. She supported their relationship unlike everyone else, but she thought since she supported them more than anyone, she could also call him out on more things.

He always felt like he needed to be on guard around her, and he hated that. They weren't together anymore either, but she thought she still had the audacity. 'Tsk, as if…' He thought as he dried behind Soseki's ears.

"Daddy, what did Tennie mean by adult things?" Soseki asked, tilting his head as Sasuke went to his other ear. "And please don't- ow- lie." He mumbled, getting a small "sorry" out of his father.

"If I knew I would tell you, but I was in here with you." He explained, taking in a deep breath as Soseki began drying his hair. He and his father did this when he was around Soseki's age, he just never imagined he'd be doing it so early in his adult life.

"Sit down, I'll dry you next." His son said, standing up to dry Sasuke's dripping hair with a towel. "What does adult things usually mean?" He asked, knowing his father wouldn't lie to him. Though he didn't know how to answer that, maybe because he didn't know exactly what they meant.

'Sex toys? No, of course not… why would— have they? No— what am I thinking?' He shook his head, getting a small glare out of his son. "Sorry…" He breathed, adjusting his posture as the child finished drying his hair the best he could. "They probably went to go buy some adult juice, something not for kids." He mumbled, frowning once that actually made more sense than sex toys.

"Why isn't it for kids?" Soseki asked as he began drying his own hair and Sasuke began getting dressed. "Mommy usually loves kid juices?" He mumbled, causing Sasuke to smirk.

"That's something you'll have to ask your mother, let's hurry up and get dressed." He said as he slid his pants on. "Soseki, isn't this your school pants?" He breathed, stressfully running his fingers through his hair as the child giggled and nodded. 'Heavens..' He folded the pants and shook his head. "We're not going to school, so you can't wear them. Find different pants." He requested as he slid his shirt on and texted Hinata; "Are you two coming back?"

"M-Mommy lets me wear them outside of school?" The child lied, looking at his clothes as Sasuke looked at him and shook his head. "She even lets me wear it to the park." He lied, hinting for the park as Sasuke sighed and texted Itachi as well; "Where the hell is everyone?"

"No Soseki, I say wear actual pants. Go find some new ones, now." He ordered, looking at his son as he pouted and nodded his head. "Thank you." He breathed, looking back at his phone once Hinata replied. "Yes, Tenten just wanted to grab some alcoholic beverages." Hinata replied, causing him to reread it a few times until she sent another text; "She wanted us to go to a bar, but Soseki would need a babysitter and I don't trust Karin…" She admitted, causing him to smirk.

"Come back, I can probably get Itachi to watch him and we can go to the bar later on tonight." He texted, looking at Soseki who came back into the bathroom with pants. "That's much better. In those, we can probably go to another park today?" He offered, noticing the pout on his sons face immediately disappeared with a smile.

"Really?!" He asked, jumping up and down as his father nodded his head. "You're like the best daddy ever!" He exclaimed, warming the man's cold heart as he hugged his leg. "I love you, daddy. Can we get ice cream too?" He asked, causing the man to tilt his head.

"Eh, not in such cold weather." He said, causing the child to release him. 'Oh, he was being a suck up?... smart child.' "I love you too though." He chuckled, patting the child's head as he took his shirt and placed it on with mumbles and Hinata replied; "Sasuke…" He tilted his head at that, going for a reply until Itachi finally texted; "We arrived around the time Hinata left, sorry been driving." The eldest Uchiha apologized, causing the youngest to raise an eyebrow.

"If you know Hinata left, where the hell are you guys now?" He asked, tapping his phone as he waited somewhat patiently for his brother to reply. He looked at his son who walked out the bathroom and into his bedroom, probably getting his shoes together.

"She's being followed. Stay home, Shisui and I have it taken care of." Itachi said, freaking Sasuke out to his core as he ignored that text and immediately texted Hinata. "Hinata, are you okay? Where are you?" He texted but got no reply. "Soseki, get your shoes on!" He called, getting an okay from the child as he rushed to get his own shoes. "These damn assholes!" He hissed, causing his son to tilt his head, but he ignored it… 'Hinata…'

They were simply driving until some men pulled in front of them and behind them, blocking them in a tiny space in part of town she didn't know. She texted Sasuke, but something about the way Tenten glared at her made her put her phone up.

"Well, well, well… You're the hottie who's an understatement, I can see that." The white-haired man whistled, causing Hinata to hold on for dear life to her seatbelt as Tenten revved the car. "Do it, I dare ya." He warned, causing Hinata to look at her and shake her head.

"Get out of the car, we aren't going to hurt you." The other white-haired man called, crossing his arms as the women hesitated. "We might if I have to repeat myself." He breathed, causing Tenten to lock the doors.

"Whatever you want, we don't have!" She yelled in the car, causing Hinata to furiously nod.

"You don't have anything, but that beaut next to you does. Give us her, and we'll be on our way-"

"Over my dead body!-"

"That can be arranged!" The man laughed, pulling out a gun that made Hinata scream and cover Tenten. "Move! We need you alive, but she's as good as dead!" He laughed, causing Hinata's grip on Tenten to tighten.

"I'll run them over." She whispered, causing Hinata to gasp. "I'll run them over and we'll get Soseki and run." She explained, causing Hinata to shake and nod. "Hold on tightly-"

BANG! BANG!

"Heavens!" Hinata screamed with Tenten, slowly opening their eyes to notice the tires were shot out. Hinata closed her eyes and began praying as the men within the cars began walking towards them.

"Get the hell away from us, you creep!" Tenten shouted, jumping once the man smashed her window in and began reaching for Hinata. "LET GO OF HER!"

"Let go! Let go!" She screamed, scratching and slapping the man who fought to grasp her. "Somebody HELP US PLEASE!" She cried, kicking the man until he pointed his gun at her.

"Mangetsu!" Itachi called, causing the men to all stop in their tracks as Hinata kicked the bald-headed man in the face and rushed towards Tenten. "I believe this isn't part of the plan, correct?" He asked, waving for Shisui to get the women out the car which he did.

Tenten unlocked the car and allowed Shisui to pull them out on the drivers' side. He held them behind him as he walked them towards his car and Itachi made his way closer to the group of men.

"Oh, it is. My younger brother specializes in a few things, tapping into phone calls being one." Mangetsu explained, causing the eldest Uchiha to nod. "You and your brother tried playing us by meeting up first, Something me and my crew couldn't allow." He said, waving for his men to come towards him with their guns away.

"You'd have leverage over us and our findings if you've kidnapped the mother of my nephew, makes sense, but… She knows nothing that'll have a use for you and your crew." Itachi spoke, looking at the leader as Suigetsu shook his head.

"She might know nothing, but she's a beauty to look at." He commented, causing Itachi to simply nod. They all knew if Sasuke was there right now, he'd have the shorter mans head. "If we took her then Sasuke would spill, that's all we want." He shrugged, causing the man in front of them to blink.

"I think you underestimate my brother." Itachi said, never taking his eyes off the leader as Mangetsu tilted his head, hinting for him to explain, which he did. "My brother would take this as a threat, holding the mother of his child higher than his own life itself." He began, looking at the beat up car the two women drove in. "It angers me, but do know it angers my brother more." He said, picking up Hinata's cellphone to dust the glass off. "We'll need to discuss your guys' actions before getting back to you on working together. Maybe… try fixing your working skills?" He suggested, making his way towards the car as the Seven Swordsmen all watched.

"Suigetsu… I want you to tap into her phone along with Sasuke's and Itachi's. They're keeping things… things that can help us find her." Mangetsu breathed, storming towards his car as the rest of the crew followed and Suigetsu frowned, rushing towards his brothers' car before he could take off. 'Sorry, Sasuke… but we aren't done with her yet…' Suigetsu thought as he watched the black SUV speed off in front of them.

"Daddy… can I go inside if we aren't leaving yet?" Soseki asked, kicking a pebble as Sasuke shook his head and continued to pace back and forth. "Can I at least go get a snack?" He asked, causing his father to shake his head once more. "Juice?-"

"Soseki, I need to keep an eye on you-"

"Daddy, please though! I'm boreddd!" He whined, leaning against the stairs as Sasuke took in a deep breath. "I'm so bored, so bored, so boreddd!" He whined, frowning once his father stressfully ran his fingers through his hair. "I wish I brought my scooter…" He pouted, playing with his zipper as Sasuke took a seat next to him.

"You can get a snack if you want, but come back after-"

"THANK YOU, DADDY!" He chimed, running immediately into the apartment as Sasuke sighed and nodded his head. He loved that child but swears sometimes he could be annoying. 'Not as annoying as Itachi taking forever…' He thought, laying his head on a step as he tried calming his nerves.

No ones texted him back, nor has anyone came. He didn't know what the hell to think nor what the fuck was happening! Was Hinata in danger? Was Itachi in danger? Were he and his son in danger right now!? He didn't fucking know and it was starting to piss him off! That was until…

"Oh thank heavens…" He breathed once Itachi and Shisui pulled up and Hinata immediately ran out the car and into his arms. "Heavens, are you okay? What's with your hair? Give me your hands." He took her hands as she showed him she was alright and threw herself into another hug. "You had me so worried." He breathed, placing her head on his chest as she held him tightly.

"I-I was so scared, Sasuke! So scared and-and they had a gun! A-A gun!" She cried, causing him to rub her head as he looked at Itachi and Shisui.

"Shh, it's okay now… don't worry." He reassured, rubbing her head as she cried into his arms. "You're safe now, you're safe." He said, looking at Tenten as she got out the car with Shisui's help and Itachi made his way towards them. They looked at each other for a minute before Itachi went into the house, waiting for them to enter so they all could discuss what the hell truly happened.

"Am I though? H-He pointed his-his gun a-at me! H-He threatened to-to kill T-Ten!" She cried, holding on for dear life as she soaked his white tee. "Heav-Heavens, I-I thought it was i-it for us un-until Itachi came.." She breathed, getting a nod out of her ex. "How… how did I-Itachi know where to-to find us? Mangetsu… He-He even knew the name of the man who ordered the other to kid-kidnap me?! S-Sasuke, wha-what's going on?" She suddenly asked, causing him to sigh as he took her inside and waved for Shisui to follow with Tenten.

"Mommy? Mommy! Ar-Are you okay? Daddy! Why is mommy crying?!" He yelled at his father, crossing his arms as his mother and father both looked at each other then back at him.

"Soseki, please go play in the room. Your… your father and I need to talk." She weakly said, biting her lower lip to stop the tears as their son dropped his arms and frowned. "D-Don't give me that look…" She whispered as she ruffled his hair. "Just go p-play, I-I'll call you once we finish discussing grownup business.." She breathed, causing his eyes to widen as he repeated…

"G-Grownup business?" He repeated, causing his parents to nod. He looked at his father and frowned once he nodded once more and patted his head. "Fine…" He pouted, walking towards his bedroom as Hinata sat down next to Tenten and cried within her arms.

"Sasuke, you have explaining to do." She said, rubbing Hinata's head as the man of the hour stressfully ran his fingers through his hair. No shit he had explaining to do! If a criminal crew was after the mother of his child, he had explaining to do to a few people!

"Itachi…" Sasuke spoke, looking at his brother whom simply sighed. "What did they want?" He asked, looking at Shisui who began laughing at the obvious. He glared at the man, taking in a deep breath when Itachi began.

"Hinata. Supposedly Suigetsu tapped into our phone call last night about Karin and how we were going to discuss everything before meeting up with them, so wanted to kidnap Hinata for leverage." He explained, causing Hinata to shiver as Sasuke cursed. "As I drove back I broke all of our phones, including Tenten's." He mentioned, watching as Sasuke took his phone out and dropped it, causing Hinata to jump once he began stepping on it.

"Sasuke… please… tell me what's going on-"

"Have you heard from Naruto?" He asked, completely ignoring her beg for some knowledge. "We need to get in touch with that asshole-"

"He-He um… he's with his parents— Why?-"

"We're going camping." He sighed, causing the mother of his child and her best friend to both gasp. "Out of town, we're camping out of town." He said, causing Itachi and Shisui to laugh as he strutted toward his bedroom with Hinata fast behind his trail. "What, Hinata?-"

"D-Don't "what" me… Sasuke, w-what is happening?! W-We can't just "go camping"?!-"

"Well, we are-"

"Stop it!" She gently yelled at him, placing her hands on his shoulders as she stopped him and made him look at her. "Sasuke… what is… what is happening?" She asked, placing a hand on his cheek no matter him refusing it. "Please, look at me— Let me touch your face-"

"I don't want that ring touching me-"

"My… my ring?" She repeated, looking at her engagement ring as he took her hand off his face. "It-It's the least of our problems right now-"

"No, it's the main problem. Why are you even here?" He snapped, causing her to struggle with her words as he continued. "You're engaged to that idiot, so why not spend the day with him instead of your ex? Want to rub it in my face how you're no longer mine? Want to rub such a flashy thing in my face to remind me of my mistakes? Well, congratulations, because it's working, it's irritating my fucking soul-"

"W-Where is this coming from?-"

"Where did that damn ring come from?! Because I know it's not your fucking taste!-"

"S-Stop yelling at me!" She yelled at him, taking a step back as he chuckled and turned towards his closet. "I-I have this ring be-because I-I love him-"

"Bullshit, Hinata. You don't love him, if you did you wouldn't have came here-"

"I-I came here because Soseki-"

"You came here because of us-"

"I-I came here… be-because of Soseki-"

He swirled around and pinned her to his wall, causing her to gasp. "Is that so?" He asked, inching his face closer as he watched her lips. "Because if that was the case… why stay now?" He asked, watching as her bottom lip quivered. "You could take him, leave… but you haven't. Why? Why are you still here… with that damned ring?" He asked, looking her deep in the eyes as she struggled to get out of his grip. It wasn't hard enough to hurt her, but strong enough to keep her in place.

"Y-You're angry, scared and… and scaring me…" She breathed, closing her eyes as he inched closer to her lips but pulled away, taking in a deep breath once he released her and stressfully ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm sorry… for-"

"I am scared, scared of losing you; losing our son!" He admitted, looking back at her as she looked at her feet. "Everyone wanted me… If not for my looks, for my attitude, and if not for my attitude, for my money, but you." He began, looking at her lips as she looked him deep in the eyes. "Naruto hated how "every girl wanted me", but the only one that didn't… I wanted. You wanted him, but he was too dense to even notice you, except for me…" He breathed, causing her eyes to waver from his eyes to his lips.

"H-How funny… I-I wanted him as you wanted me but tried playing Cupid for me and him." She weakly laughed, causing him to join with a small nod. "I ended up falling for you instead… no matter how much I knew it was a d-death wish with the fangirls." She breathed, causing him to genuinely laugh that time as she shook her head.

"Your father ruined our first kiss."

"Oh heavens, how that was so embarrassing." She giggled, causing him to nod with a small chuckle. "You left me high and dry though-"

"I had places I needed to be-"

"Yeah right." She laughed as they made their way to his bed. "You ditched me for a week after stealing my first kiss, I-I thought father scared you off for good." She breathed, getting a shake to his head in response.

"My father just didn't want me hanging out with "that Hyuga girl". That and well, the kiss was mind-blowing." He mentioned, causing her to blush and look away.

"It was… and-and my father was the same…" She admitted, touching her lips as she recalled the last time they touched lips, Soseki was conceived. 'Six years ago…' "Sasuke…" She breathed, turning towards him only for their lips to connect and her to fall back with him on top to follow.

He placed his hand on her chin and his other hand on the bed for support as she gripped his shirt and pulled him closer, deepening the kiss which caused them both to moan until he broke it and began kissing down her neck.

"Sasuke… we… we can't." She breathed, gulping once he continued his kisses towards her collarbone and began caressing her waist. Her eyes fluttered shut once he gently nibbled against her skin. "Sasuke-"

"Daddy? Mommy?" Soseki questioned, causing the two to freeze in their tracks as the child struggled to find the right words. "C-Closing my eyes! My eyes are closed!" He exclaimed, causing the adults in the living room to rush towards him. Sasuke got off her before they all could come, but their flushed faces could tell a million stories. "C-Can I open my eyes now?" Their son asked, getting no response as he peaked through his fingers.

"Please tell me you two weren't about to do what I think you two were about to do?" Tenten asked Hinata, causing the shy woman to look at the ground as Soseki shook his head and answered for his shy parents.

"Don't worry, Tennie. Mommy and daddy were just kissing like lovers, although I've never seen kissing with the boy on top-"

"Soseki!" Hinata exclaimed, covering her face as Sasuke looked away from their son and tried his best to fight back the redness of his cheeks. "W-We simply… we uh… we-we-"

"It's none of your business-"

"There's no need to feel embarrassed when you two are sexually frustrated… for each other-"

"Shisui!" Hinata gasped, looking back at the now laughing man then at Soseki who tried understanding what his uncle meant. "S-Sasuke and I were s-simply reminiscing-"

"Were you two also reenacting the consumption of Soseki?" Tenten asked, causing Hinata to gasp and Shisui to laugh harder. "Nata, what about Naruto?" She asked, causing her to frown and Sasuke to look at her then at the ground.

"Don't go through with it." He mumbled, causing Hinata to tense as Soseki and the others frowned, noticing the pain in his father's voice. "You obviously don't love him-"

"I-I do love him-"

"But are you in love with him, Hinata?" He asked, looking from deep into her eyes to her still reddened lips. "You can't say it because you're in love with me." He breathed, looking at her lips as she looked away and wiped a tear away.

"Y-You're making mommy sad again!" Soseki lectured, running into Hinata's arms as Sasuke looked at them and she looked at him.

"I-I… W-We can't do that again." She said gently, rubbing Soseki's back as he took in a deep breath and sighed. "Sasuke-"

"Because you're not mine, but you're my best friends. We can't do that anymore, not while you're with him… but I'll wait." He mumbled, causing her breath to hitch as he looked at everyone and sighed. "We need to leave town for a little. Shisui, go get the loser and make sure you aren't f-o-l-l-o-w-e-d. Itachi, go get Izumi. And Tenten… do whatever." He breathed, getting up to pack as the men went to get the extra people of their group and Tenten made her way towards Hinata.

"Soseki, go pack. Your mother and I have to talk." Tenten breathed, getting a small nod out of the child as Hinata began playing with her fingers. "Are you not marrying Naruto?-"

"She's not, not while we are all together." Sasuke answered before Hinata could even think about the question. "We kissed, so what? It's none of your business-"

"It's her fiancés business! You could've kissed her for the six years you've been gone, but I won't allow it to happen again as she's now engaged with a man who actually loves her and won't leave her with a baby!-"

Sasuke glared at the woman and threw a shirt into his bag. "I'll tell him I kissed her then, because I did. I'll also tell him how I still love her, as she still loves me. It's none of your business, Tenten-"

"Hinata, are you going to tell your fiancé that you kissed your ex?" She asked, getting a small nod out of the shy woman. "Thank heavens." She breathed as Sasuke "tsked" and continued to pack. "It's a grave secret though." She whispered, lifting her pinky as Hinata frowned and locked pinkies with her. 'They still do that?' Sasuke thought as he folded a shirt and threw it in. 'Nerds..'

Now when Sasuke told him to find Naruto he wasn't expecting this… at all. Hinata said how her blond fiancé wanted to hang out with his parents for the day when that indeed was a lie. Shisui entered a coffee shop with a familiar blond and redhead, but they didn't notice him.

He ordered a coffee for himself and Naruto, taking a seat next to the cousin's booth to listen in on their most likely private meeting. 'If I had my damn cellphone I could record it..' He pushed that thought back though, deciding to make due with his ears.

"Can we stop reminiscing now? Not that I'm not having fun, but I want to know what happened to you, ya know?" Naruto mentioned, taking a bite of his croissant as she took one of his hands. "What's happened over the years that my moms too afraid to bring up?" He asked gently, causing his cousin to bite her lower lip.

"I forgive you…" She said, causing Naruto and Shisui to raise an eyebrow. "She's trying to protect you, but I forgive you…" She said once more, frowning once he intertwined their fingers.

"What do you forgive me for? What did I do?" He asked, frowning once she squeezed his hand and took in a deep breath. "Karin, you can tell me… what did I do-"

"You don't remember?" She asked, getting a small shake to his head that made her take in a deep breath. "Your mom… she caught us and… hit you, probably too hard, or maybe you just forced yourself to forget-"

"Karin, what did I do?-"

"You raped me!" She hissed, not loud enough for other customers to hear, but loud enough for him and Shisui to hear. He nearly gave himself away by coughing on his coffee, but forcefully held a cough in. "Nearly at least…" She mumbled, frowning once Naruto released her hand.

"H-How? W-Why?-"

"My father… he'd always abuse my mama and I… whenever you came though, he wouldn't so I'd always get you to spend the night." She began explaining, taking his hand back in hers as he slowly but surely broke down. "One night… we walked in on my father… raping her and the week after… we both were curious, wanting to try "sex" when that wasn't sex… it was rape." She breathed, squeezing his hand as a tear fell down his cheek. "You weren't listening to me, no matter how much I said stop, you didn't-"

"I'm… I'm so sorry-"

"Your mom came before you could do anything major and knocked you out with… I-I don't remember, but she apologized on behalf of you and… she said how I'd never see you again." She weakly said, looking at her tea as he looked at his croissant. "She thought I wanted that… she thought I wanted you to nearly rape me! We were young idiots who thought what my father did was normal when it wasn't! We didn't know any better-"

"But does that matter? I… I nearly raped you-"

"But you didn't!" She hissed, causing Shisui to take a bigger swig of his coffee as Naruto dropped his head in his hands. "You were my protector, not my rapist. I needed you to visit, but she-she took you away from me, away from my mama!-"

"What happened to your mom?" He asked, blinking tears away as she began crying herself. "Karin-"

"He… killed her." She weakly said, causing her cousin to gasp as she fought back a major breakdown in a coffee shop. "It was a few years after your mom took you from me and… he tried raping me-"

"Heavens-"

"But my mama… she told him no and to… rape her instead, which he did but I was forced to watch." She cried, covering her mouth as he too covered his, trying his best to keep his food down as Shisui waited for her to continue. "I watched my father brutally rape her… until she simply… died." She breathed, jumping once Naruto slammed his hands on the table.

"Tell me that bastard died, tell me he was taken away for his crimes and-and-"

"I killed him." She admitted, silencing her cousin as she nodded and Shisui fought back a nod of his own, knowing this part of the story… but if she could tell about Orochimaru… "I killed him with a lamp and wandered the streets to find you, but found child's services." She grumbled, getting a hesitant nod out of her cousin. "I'm sure you would've killed your father if he raped your mom and she reached out to you before her lifeless limb fell! Don't judge me-"

"I'm not judging you, I would've… Yeah, killed him… I just wasn't expecting to hear that-"

"Well, your mom sent me away, refusing to take me in-"

"I remember that… I was so confused because I also remembered you as my cousin-"

"Well, a man who wasn't my cousin or family to begin with, took me in… he pampered me, raised me as his own, he even taught me how to protect myself some more." 'Here it is…'

"Who is he?" Naruto asked, tilting his head as she frowned and looked away.

"Lord Orochimaru… are you close with Sasuke still? Or do you want our bond to get fixed?" She asked, causing the man in front of her to tense then laugh, which confused both her and Shisui.

"I don't think I'm close to him anymore, especially since Hinata's my fiancée— wait, aren't you two together? He's madly in love with her, you should seriously quit-"

"Don't worry about me, I know." She breathed, taking a sip of her tea as Shisui felt as though his cover was about to be found. "He's been playing me because of Lord Orochimaru and I fear that he found out things he wasn't supposed to find out." She grumbled, causing Naruto to tilt his head.

"Obviously I'm not supposed to find out either, huh?" He questioned as he looked at the ground and she smiled up at him.

"It depends on you-"

"Karin-"

"Naruto, do you know a man named Obito Uchiha?" She asked, causing her cousin to think as Shisui instantly stood from his seat and poured Naruto's coffee "accidentally" on his head.

"Ow! What the hell!? Shi? Shisu-"

"Oh, man, shit, sorry." Shisui apologized, getting a napkin from their table as Naruto frantically took some himself to dab his face. "I got up too fast, sorry, don't sue me-"

"Do I know you?" Karin asked, handing him more napkins as Naruto looked at Shisui and was about to ask himself until his glance hardened. "I think I do know you?!"

"Ma'am, you see a thousand faces every day." He smirked, wrapping his arm around Naruto's shoulder although he tried fighting him until he swiftly punched him in the stomach. "Walk, let's go now." He whispered, looking back at Karin as he waved goodbye.

"Get back here!" She yelled, glaring at the men as they walked out the coffee shop and rushed out herself. "Dammit!" She yelled, jumping into her car as Shisui sped off with Naruto.

"Shisui, what the hell is your problem!?" Naruto asked, struggling to put his seatbelt on as the man ran a red light. "Are you CRAZY!?" He asked, looking out the window to notice Karin fast on their trail. "Fuck! Wait, why am I trying to get away from her— WHY ARE WE SPEEDING AWAY FROM HER?!-"

"Give me your phone, I need to call someone." He lied, taking Naruto's phone as he rolled the window down and threw it out the window.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" The blond yelled, glaring at the black-haired man as he laughed and took a sharp turn, throwing Naruto against his window. "Explain what the hell is happening now!"

"You've some explainin' to do, Lucy!" He joked, causing Naruto to frown as Karin nearly ran someone over. "Sasuke will explain, just hold on!" He yelled, making a sharp U-turn towards Sasuke's. "Let's just hope they're ready by the time we get there!" He hoped, causing Naruto to growl.

"GET WHERE!?"
