- IV -"Stupid, stupid man," Tenten

"Stupid, stupid man," Tenten lashed out angrily and sent her kunai into respective targets. To her, each of the targets had Neji's face imprinted on it, which fueled her anger and adrenaline even more. It took the last of her energy out and she slumped onto the ground panting heavily.

Hinata sighed and took a step towards the exhausted woman when someone placed a hand and restrained her. She looked up and saw her cousin looking at Tenten. He spoke quietly, "He's waiting for you 100 metres to the east, at the training posts."

Her gaze traveled back and forth from her cousin to the woman on the ground worriedly.

"It's okay," he assured her, squeezing her shoulder lightly. She nodded and headed off.

"Naruto-kun," she called softly and tapped him on the shoulder, when she reached him.

He turned and smiled at her, putting an arm around her waist. "Do you still remember this place?"

Her heart beat a little faster. "Yes."

"You've always had the knack to make me feel loads better," he told her sincerely. "I was really nervous then, but your words were really encouraging. I don't think I would have managed to even reach the stadium if I hadn't met you here"

She blushed a little, "You're exaggerating, Naruto-kun. You managed to beat Neji-niisan with your own strength. I only gave you a little push."

He looked at her, blue eyes staring right into hers, right into her soul. Hinata felt like she was drowning in those crystal blue orbs that seem to hold so many secrets and pain. "I won because of you," he told her quietly.

"Because of me?" She asked, her throat feeling a little constricted.

"I swore in your blood at the preliminaries, that I would take Neji down." He brushed a lock of her hair away from her face. "I was so angry with him then, for his stubborn belief in his crapload of shit about destiny, for him hurting you. I couldn't forget how you suffered in the preliminaries."

She felt the familiar stinging in her eyes and she quickly blinked them away. "Are you okay?" he asked, wiping away the tears that escaped her lids with his hands. Did I say something wrong?"

Hinata shook her head furiously. She found his constant worry of saying the wrong things endearing, when to her; he always says the right things. "Thank you, Naruto-kun."

"For what?"

"For everything," she responded simply, and kissed him quickly and shyly on the lips. It was her first time initiating a kiss, and she really did not know how to go about it.

Naruto blinked. It happened so quickly, he wasn't sure what happened but he could have sworn she just kissed him. Voluntarily.

"Ahh," he said, interlocking the fingers of his left hand with her right, "I'm hungry. We never got to finish our breakfast, with Neji storming in and all. Are you hungry?"

Her stomach answered him.

She blushed and he laughed, leading both of them back towards town. "Tell me Hinata-chan, have you ever been to Ichiraku?" She shook her head. "Wow? Where have you been living? That's like where the most fantastic Ramen in Konoha is. We'll have to go there and you must order their Pork Ramen. That's like my favorite..."

Hinata followed him only half listening to him extolling the virtues of Ichiraku Ramen Stall. She looked down and smiled at the sight of his hand holding hers.

He suddenly stopped short, "What did Tsunade-obaasan do to you behind the curtain?"

"Nothing," she said.

"Nothing?" he asked, still suspicious. He didn't like the idea of anyone touching his girlfriend anywhere, even if it was just a medical examination.

She reddened slightly, "Hokage-sama said she trusts you."

"Ahh." With that, they continued down the path.

"Naruto-kun?"

"Hai?"

"I trust you, too."

"You shouldn't work yourself so hard."

Tenten's eyes widened at the sound of his voice. He crouched beside her on the ground, "You might harm the baby."

"It's not like you care. After all, he's may not even be yours," she lied sarcastically.

"Don't joke about these things," he said sharply. She sniffled in response, "I'm not the one who doubted my partner's fidelity."

She was still mad at him, and was making damn sure that he knows it.

"I'm sorry," he mumbled. "It came rather unexpectedly, that's all. I mean..."

Tenten cut him off forcefully, "I don't know which world you were living in, but in this world at least people do have babies when they have sex."

"I know... but all those contraceptive jutsus..."

"I told you from the start that they don't always WORK!" she shouted at him angrily, blinded by her tears.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," he murmured as he gathered the crying woman into his arms. He sat on the ground, and pulled her into his lap. "I'm so sorry."

"I'm scared, Neji," she sobbed into his chest. "I'm only 19; I'm not ready to be a mother!"

"Shh, we'll get through this together."

"And I haven't told my parents. God, they're so going to murder me when they find out."

"Don't worry, we'll work around it."

"Neji!" she cried in despair. "This is serious, what are we going to do?"

He said evenly, "We'll get married."

She fell silent for a minute, "Oh, Neji. I don't want us to get married just because I'm pregnant," she said quietly. "I would rather raise the kid by myself than for us to get married just because we had an accident."

"What are you talking about?" Neji asked almost angrily, "He's my kid, too. I'm not letting you take the full brunt of it. Admittedly, this is faster than I planned, but we would have gotten married at some point in the future anyway." His eyes narrowed, "Unless you were thinking of marrying someone else?"

"I've always fancied the thought of being Mrs. Uchiha, if that's what you mean."

The arms encircling her stiffened and she sighed, "I was joking, Neji, joking."

"I told you not to joke about these things," he told her grimly. "And I'm serious about us getting married."

"I don't know," she said doubtfully. "What will the village think? Especially when the baby comes early?"

"They don't have to think and frankly, I don't give a damn what they think," Neji told her.

She still looked unconvinced.

"And they won't have to think at all when the kid's born with Byakyugan."

"What makes you so sure that he will have the Byakyugan?" Tenten asked curiously.

"Because he's Hyuga Neji's son, that's what," he replied and was rewarded with a half hearted slap on the upper forearm.

"Ouch, you're really a dangerous woman, Tenten," he grumbled. "You shouldn't hit your fiancé with no reason."

His fiancée stuck out her tongue at him, "I told you that women are dangerous when they're in love."

"Are you in love?" he asked her, gazing deep into her warm brown eyes.

"Yes," Tenten responded breathlessly.

"Can I find out who is it?"

"Yes."

That was all he needed, as he bent down and kiss him gently. After all, he had learnt his lesson about respecting women.

Butuh terakhir nya energi keluar dan dia merosot ke tanah terengah-engah berat.Hinata mendesah dan mengambil langkah wanita lelah ketika seseorang ditempatkan tangan dan menahan dirinya. Dia menoleh dan melihat sepupunya memandang Tenten. Dia berbicara pelan, "Dia yang menunggu untuk Anda 100 meter ke arah Timur, di posting pelatihan."Pandangan matanya bepergian mundur dari sepupunya kepada perempuan di tanah worriedly."Tidak apa-apa," dia meyakinkan dia, meremas bahunya ringan. Dia mengangguk dan berangkat."Naruto-kun," ia disebut lembut dan menepuk bahu, apabila dia sampai kepadanya.Ia berbalik dan tersenyum padanya, menempatkan lengan pinggang. "Apakah Anda masih ingat tempat ini?"Hati berdetak lebih cepat. "Ya.""Anda selalu memiliki bakat untuk membuat saya merasa beban lebih baik," Dia mengatakan padanya tulus. "Aku adalah benar-benar gugup itu, tapi kata-kata Anda yang benar-benar mendorong. Saya tidak berpikir saya akan berhasil bahkan mencapai Stadion jika saya belum pernah bertemu Anda di sini"Ia tersipu sedikit, "Anda sedang melebih-lebihkan, Naruto-kun. Anda berhasil mengalahkan Neji-niisan dengan kekuatan Anda sendiri. Saya hanya memberi Anda sedikit dorongan."Dia memandang, mata biru yang menatap langsung ke miliknya, kanan ke jiwanya. Hinata merasa seperti dia telah tenggelam dalam bola-bola biru kristal tersebut yang tampaknya memegang begitu banyak rahasia dan rasa sakit. "Aku menang karena Anda," ia berkata dengan tenang."Karena saya?" Dia bertanya, perasaan tenggorokan nya agak kaku."Aku bersumpah dalam darah Anda di mendahuluinya, bahwa saya akan mengambil Neji turun." Dia menggosok kunci rambutnya dari wajahnya. "Aku adalah begitu marah kepadanya kemudian, bagi keyakinannya keras kepala dalam nya crapload kotoran tentang takdir, dia menyakiti Anda. Aku tidak bisa melupakan bagaimana Anda menderita di mendahuluinya."Dia merasa menyengat akrab di matanya dan dia cepat berkedip mereka pergi. "Apakah Anda baik-baik saja?" Dia bertanya, menyeka air mata yang melarikan diri Nya tutup dengan tangannya. Apakah saya mengatakan sesuatu yang salah?"Hinata menggelengkan kepalanya marah.

"Terima kasih, Naruto-kun.""Untuk apa?""Untuk segala sesuatu," Dia menjawab cukup dan menciumnya dengan cepat dan shyly di bibir. Itu dia pertama kalinya memulai ciuman, dan dia benar-benar tidak tahu bagaimana untuk pergi tentang itu.Naruto berkedip. Itu terjadi begitu cepat, ia tidak yakin apa yang terjadi tetapi ia bisa bersumpah ia hanya menciumnya. Secara sukarela."Ahh," katanya, cara mengunci dengan jari tangan kiri dengan dia benar, "Aku lapar. Kami tidak pernah menyelesaikan sarapan kami, dengan Neji menyerbu dalam dan semua. Apakah kalian merasa lapar?"Perutnya menjawabnya.Ia tersipu dan dia tertawa, menuju keduanya kembali ke arah kota. "Ceritakan padaku Hinata-chan, Apakah Anda pernah ke Ichiraku?" Ia menggelengkan kepalanya. "Wow? Mana Anda telah hidup? Itu adalah seperti mana Ramen paling fantastis di Konoha. Kita harus pergi ke sana dan Anda harus memesan Ramen babi mereka. Yang seperti favorit saya..."Hinata mengikutinya hanya setengah mendengarkan dia memuji kebaikan Ichiraku Ramen kios. Dia menunduk dan tersenyum melihat tangannya memegang miliknya.Dia tiba-tiba berhenti pendek, "Apa Tsunade-obaasan lakukan untuk Anda di balik tirai?""Tidak ada," katanya."Tidak ada?" Dia bertanya, masih mencurigakan. Dia tidak menyukai ide siapa saja yang menyentuh pacarnya di mana saja, bahkan jika itu hanya pemeriksaan kesehatan.Dia memerah sedikit, "Hokage-sama mengatakan dia percaya padamu.""Ahh." Dengan itu, mereka terus menyusuri jalan."Naruto-kun?""Hai?""Aku percaya padamu, terlalu."- V -"Anda tidak boleh bekerja sendiri begitu keras."Tenten di mata melebar dengan suara suaranya. Dia membungkuk di sampingnya di tanah, "Anda mungkin membahayakan bayi.""Hal ini tidak seperti Anda peduli. Setelah semua, dia bukanlah Mei bahkan menjadi milikmu, "dia berbohong sinis."Tidak bercanda tentang hal ini," katanya tajam. Dia sniffled sebagai respon, "Saya bukan orang yang meragukan kesetiaan pasangan saya."Dia tetap marah pada dirinya, dan membuat sialan yakin bahwa dia tahu itu."Saya minta maaf," Dia berkata. "Itu datang agak tiba-tiba, itu saja. Maksudku..."Tenten melenyapkan dia tegas, "saya tidak tahu mana dunia Anda tinggal di, tapi di dunia ini setidaknya orang memiliki bayi ketika mereka berhubungan seks.""Aku tahu... tapi semua jutsus kontrasepsi tersebut...""Aku bilang dari awal bahwa mereka tidak selalu bekerja!" dia berteriak padanya dengan marah, dibutakan oleh matanya."Oh, saya sangat menyesal," ia bersungut-sungutlah tentang seperti dia mengumpulkan wanita menangis dalam tangannya. Dia duduk di tanah, dan menariknya ke pangkuannya. "Saya minta maaf.""Aku takut, Neji," dia terisak ke dadanya. "Saya hanya 19; Aku tidak siap untuk menjadi seorang ibu!""Shh, kita akan melewati ini bersama-sama.""Dan aku belum mengatakan kepada orang tua saya. Allah, mereka begitu akan membunuh saya ketika mereka mengetahui.""Jangan khawatir, kami akan bekerja di sekitar itu.""Neji!" serunya putus asa. "Ini serius, apa yang harus kita lakukan?"Katanya merata, "Kita akan menikah."Ia terdiam sejenak, "Oh, Neji. Saya tidak ingin kita untuk menikah karena saya hamil,"katanya dengan tenang. "Aku akan agak menaikkan anak sendiri daripada bagi kita untuk menikah hanya karena kita mengalami kecelakaan.""Apa yang Anda berbicara tentang?" Neji bertanya hampir dengan marah, "Dia adalah anak saya, terlalu. Aku tidak akan membiarkan Anda mengambil beban penuh itu. Diakui, ini lebih cepat daripada aku merencanakan, tapi kita akan memiliki menikah di beberapa titik di masa depan saja." Matanya mempersempit, "kecuali Anda sedang memikirkan menikahi orang lain?""Saya selalu naksir pikiran menjadi Uchiha ibu, jika itu adalah apa yang Anda maksudkan."Lengan melingkari dia kaku dan Dia menghela napas, "Aku bercanda, Neji, bercanda.""Saya memberitahu Anda untuk tidak bercanda tentang hal ini," katanya kepada dia muram. "Dan aku serius tentang kami menikah.""Saya tidak tahu," katanya ragu-ragu. "Apa yang akan desa berpikir? Terutama ketika bayi datang lebih awal?""Mereka tidak harus berpikir dan terus terang, saya tidak peduli apa yang mereka pikirkan," Neji mengatakan kepadanya.Dia masih tampak tidak yakin."Dan mereka tidak perlu berpikir sama sekali ketika anak yang lahir dengan Byakyugan.""Apa yang membuatmu begitu yakin bahwa ia akan memiliki Byakyugan?" Tenten bertanya anehnya."Karena ia adalah putra Hyuga Neji, yang adalah apa," Dia menjawab dan dihargai dengan setengah hati menampar di lengan atas."Aduh, kau benar-benar seorang wanita yang berbahaya, Tenten," ia menggerutu. "Anda tidak boleh memukul tunangan Anda tanpa alasan."Tunangannya mencuat lidahnya padanya, "Saya mengatakan Anda bahwa wanita berbahaya ketika mereka sedang jatuh cinta.""Apakah Anda cinta?" Dia bertanya padanya, menatap ke dalam mata cokelat hangat."Ya," Tenten menanggapi terengah-engah."Saya bisa mengetahui siapa yang itu?""Ya."Itu adalah semua yang diperlukan, seperti ia membungkuk dan menciumnya lembut. Setelah semua, ia telah belajar pelajaran berharga tentang menghormati wanita.-
