Honeymoon

Curiosity Killed the Cat

The day was finally upon her and Hinata was ready. She wanted to know exactly what Naruto was up to and why he'd run away for nearly a month. After he had kissed her goodbye and waved at her she had given him a head start before following. Hinata had many ideas that floated around her little brain but she couldn't pinpoint which one was true. At this point, she had to figure it out or she'd go insane. Her imagination was running wild. How could he just say 'It's an important mission' and expect her to sit silently? He would disappear once a year for a whole month. It was always the same month. So what was he doing? What was this secret mission, that even she couldn't know about it?

Hinata could only follow Naruto as he walked alone into the woods. After a while, to Hinata's utter surprise he had met up with Karin, of all people. It was easy for Hinata to follow the two because Karin had complained about the whole thing. It was evident that Karin was not too happy about their mission. Luckily, with a little help from Choji giving her pills that could easily mask her chakra and Karin's lack of enthusiasm to be apart of whatever they were doing, it was rather easy to track the two.

Each step they took made Hinata's heart thump rapidly. Hinata couldn't understand why they took this trip once a year. She also wasn't made aware that Karin was apart of the trip. Okay, so maybe she is being a little childish. They are ninjas and they all have their secret missions, but no one in the village knew what she was talking about. Sakura shrugged it off and Kakashi told her there was nothing to worry about. Everyone else looked at her like she was crazy. Of course...talking to Ino did not help her imagination, but Ino just likes to start drama. Naruto wouldn't cheat on her.

She couldn't help the thought of Karin and Naruto doing naughty things together. Hinata slapped her cheeks a few times, 'She's his cousin! Stop that!'

With a shake of her head Hinata held onto her backpack strap tightly as she scurried to catch up to the pair. They had been traveling for a few days. Deep within the woods, they weren't too far off from Konoha but it was a good distance before they had stopped at a large rock.

Hinata hid in bushes eyeing the two. Naruto had turned to say something to Karin, causing her to scoff.

The rock slid to the side after a few hand signs. The two dipped down inside and the rock began to move back into place. Hinata breathed deeply before rushing forward. She slipped right on in, the rock blocking the light from behind her.

"Okay," She whispered to herself. Her feet carried her down the steps to a metal door, it was slightly cracked open allowing some light to peek out. Gently she pushed the door open, her eyes were met with a long hallway. It had seemed that Hinata had stepped into a large house.

Hinata's mind began to race with more wild ideas. She was going to confront Naruto about this little sweet escape. How dare he stay in an underground home with Karin! all these years he was playing house with her.

Hinata felt tears at the brink of spilling. She was going to give him a piece of her mind. Hinata walked deeper into the house with her fist balled up. She opened some doors to look inside of them, one of the rooms looked like their bedroom. Hinata walked in to inspect the room, her hand slowly ran on the blanket, that was just like theirs at home. Next to the bed was a picture of her and Naruto on their wedding day. Hinata picked it up staring at it, how could he keep this here when he was with another woman? Her fingers brushed off a bit of dust on it. Her finger traced the smile on his face. How could he do this to her? And with his cousin?! Hinata sighed setting the picture down, her hand lingering on it longer than she would admit. Why couldn't he just tell her he didn't love her anymore? But most importantly why did he keep a picture of them in a room that looked like an exact copy of their room?
