The next day, hinata woke up, a little bit sore.
She was lying naked on her tummy, and her lower part was covered with sheets.
Hinata rose and wrapped the sheets around her.
She looked around and found no sasuke.
She got into the bath, washed and brushed her teeth, she got out and wore an attire.
Hinata was puzzled, she imagined that her first time she'd wake and be cuddled...but yet she woke up alone.
Sasuke left her, left after he took whatever he wanted.
She went down to find the butlers cleaning.
"Hinata sama, ohayo" they greeted
Hinata smiled, she went to the fridge to prepare her breakfast.
"Uchiha sama left this for you, he did it when he got up" the butlers placed her a breakfast that was covered with transparent plastic.
Hinata looked at it.
She understands a little bit of sasuke.
He is cold, maybe won't show affection the way she wants, but he still cares..his own way.
Yet, there are many unanswered questions.
Why did he leave her.
Why did he do what was done.
Why did he tease her.
She decided to give him a chance by the words of her sister, yet he still doesn't do the expected and she ends up disappointed.
Hinata sighed and finished her food.
It was awkwardly delicious.
Hinata opened the fridge to leave the left overs and clear the food from yesterday.
She was puzzled.
"Oh..."she exclaimed.
The butlers look at her.
"Wh..where is the food from yesterday"
"Oh, uchiha sama ate it all in the morning"
Hinata nodded and smiled.
Sasuke was sitting with naruto.
They were both finished some scrolls assigned by kakashi.
"You look different today" naruto said.
"Hm" sasuke nodded.
"Did something good happen" naruto smirked.
Sasuke glared at him.
"Then i was right..." naruto teased.
"Urusai" sasuke said as his ears and face flushed.
"Tell me..temme"
Suddenly sakura entered and saw sasuke and naruto sitting.
"Oh, you look different today" sakura exclaimed.
Naruto smiled.
"What...did something happen" sakura asked.
"Tch"
"Ohhh my god!" Sakura squeaked.
"Are you going to drop it or what" sasuke growled.
"Tell us more sasuke" sakura teased.
"I'll take my leave" sasuke said as his face was blushing.
"This tight lipped guy" sakura sighed.
"I am so happy he is more radiant" naruto said.
"Yeah...but..soon this happiness maybe gone..."
"How will hinata react when she realized he cheated"
"Huh...it'll be fine if she doesn't know"
"The truth will be revealed sooner or later..naruto"
He nodded.
Hanabi went to see her sister.
"You look different" hanabi exclaimed.
Hinata's face flushed.
"Hmm...so you did it"
"Hanabiiii" hinata squeaked and blushed.
"Hmm tell me more" hanabi smirked.
Hinata kept blushing.
"He..." she sighed..
"He was gentle, and tender...but"
"But what"
"I thought he'd cuddle me in the morning...seems i put my expectations so much high"
"Hmm"
Hanabi kept starring.
"Bu..but i mean, he left breakfast for me"
"Nee chan, sasuke loves you...he shows affection his way, maybe he didn't want to wake you up"
"B..but hanabi, he left me for five years"
"Hinata chan, you need to talk to him...its a progress you slept together, but both need to understand the reason."
"Sasuke is tight lipped"
"So are you"
Hinata sighed.
They need to talk things out.
Hanabi bid her goodbye and left.
Sasuke came back late.
He saw hinata was cooking.
He looked at her.
She turned and smiled.
"Okairi"
Sasuke sighed.
"Tadima" he took off his cloak and boots.
"Dinner is ready" she said.
Hinata sat across sasuke's and she placed him the rice bowl.
"Arigato" he said.
Hinata smiled, and nodded.
They were eating silently, so she decided to break the silence.
"Sasuke kun"
"Hm"
"Why did you leave for five years without telling me"
Sasuke looked at her.
He put down the bowl.
"Leave us" he ordered the butlers.
Hinata eyed him.
The butler left.
Sasuke sighed.
"Have you asked yourself once why did i marry you?"
"You said it was a business proposal"
"Hinata..."
"What"
"You know quiet well none dictates what i do"
"You wanted to finish your probation"
"I could have ran away or killed them"
"B..."
"Besides I would have married sakura"
"You wanted my kekki genkai"
"Enough with that hinata"
"Na..."
"Stop acting like a dense head, and think about it"
"Have you ever thought how much i was jealous of neji? Did you ask yourself why during the exams i cared about you..."
Hinata's eyes widened.
"Everyone knows that i liked you since old days, yet you decided to be ignorant"
"B..b..but you left me without telling me"
"You rejected me hinata, multiple times...i have my pride just like yours.."
"You should have told me"
"I tried.."
"You are tightly lipped"
"So are you"
"I realized that i can't push you to love me..."
Hinata's eyes started to tear.
"I decided to leave..., and thought maybe if i am gone, she'd miss me"
"But i did..."
"Well..you didn't show it, i kept thinking that maybe you are now celebrating getting rid of me, and when i came, i saw you with a child...my speculation was right and i wished it wasn't"
"I didn't beat you because you were a girl, i beat you as a full fledged shinobi that betrayed her husband"
"But i realized that we are only bound by this contract"
"S...sasuke kun"
"Hinata..."
"I..."
"After yesterday, i realized something"
Hinata waited for him to continue.
"I should let you go"
"N..nani" hinata's breathing hitched.
"I did terrible things to you, and i thought you'd love me...if you want a divorce..i'll"
"Urusaiiii!!!!"
Sasuke's eyes widened.
"You want to leave me after i loved you!!! You want to run away like you always do"
"I never ran away"
"You did five years ago"
"Hinata...we can't"
"No..no no no"
She sobbed and got up.
She went to him and hugged him.
"Don't leave me sasuke"
Sasuke hugged her back tightly.
His eyes were tearing.
"We lack communication just...we can try to change that..."
Sasuke just nodded.
"Gomennasaiii sasuke kun..."
He cupped her cheeks and wiped the tears on her face.
He looked at this pearl orbs that got him in a chokehold.
He crashed his lips onto her.
Tonight they made love.
Three months has passed and sasuke and hinata's relationship been even better.
All lovey dovey, they struggled a little but yet could pass it.
They understood that all relationships need working and communicating.
Although both are tight lipped and hinata is stubborn, yet each tried to compromise for each other.
Hinata never knew she'd be that happy with the uchiha.
And everything was better when she knew she was with child.
"Oh sai" tenten greeted sai.
"Hi tenten"
"Oh where is ino?"
"She is doing some stuff, i'll go to her"
"Oh...i have seen her lately being a little weary"
"She is fine"
"Oh..then take me with you, i need to give her her pendant, she left it three months ago at the bar"
"Huh"
"Oh yeah, she was with sasuke...i bet she still can't get over the uchiha"
Sai eyes widened.
"I guess she's with you because you look exactly like sasuke"
Sai kept silence.
"Oh sorry..everyone knows sasuke was a centered boy that all girls love him; even when you were in team seven, you have seen it"
Tenten words triggered sai.
"I need to leave now" sai tried to collect himself.
He was already upset, yesterday, both ino and sai went to sakura.
They realized ino is pregnant, and sakura scolded her as she knows what happened with sasuke three months ago.
Now its getting more complicated.
She asked them to tell sasuke, he needs to know, and she knew that calamity will fall, now that hinata too is pregnant.
Sai walked but not to ino, to the uchiha's mansion.
Hinata went to ino, she needed to tell her the news.
Ino is her best-friend, she went to ino.
"Hinata chan" ino said confused, she gulped.
"Ino chan..." she smiled and hugged her best friend.
They both sat down.
"How are you ino chan..."
"Good" she smiled
"You look weary"
"Hinata...i" ino was interrupted when hinata smiled and said
"I am pregnant" ino's eyes widened upon the news.
Now its getting more and more complex.
"Ino chan, daijoubu..., your face is pale" hinata asked worried.
Ino smiled and nodded.
Then she suddenly got up and ran to the bathroom emptying her stomach.
Hinata followed her.
"D..ino chan? Are you pregnant" she asked.
Ino looked at her with teary eyes.
"Fetch sai..please" she said and hinata nodded and ran.
Hinata was looking for sai in the market, she passed by tenten's shop.
"Hinata"
"Tenten chan, have you seen sai?"
"Oh, yeah, he was looking for ino, but he said he'd go to sasuke"
"Oh okay"
Hinata ran to the mansion.
Sasuke was standing with sai.
"As much as i hate you, but i came to tell you, ino is pregnant"
Sasuke's eyes widened.
Now the calamities is falling.
"Have you slept with her" sasuke asked.
"Heh" sai laughed sarcastically.
"You are such a haughty jerk"
"Answer the question" sasuke said.
"And if i..."
"Then maybe its your child"
"You are such a bastard" sai said and as he landed a punch on sasuke's face he already accepted it.
"Oh...sai...sasuke kun, whats going on"hinata saw them, and sasuke had his mouth bleeding.
"Ask you lawful husband..."
"Sai..." sasuke said sternly.
"Wh..whats going on"
"Should i tell her, or shall you...i wonder whom hinata will be upset with the most" sai taunted.
"Wh...whats going on..sai"
"Hinata, ino is pregnant"
"Yeah, she was vomiting...i came to fetch you"
"But the child isn't mine"
"SAIIII" sasuke growled.
"Wh...what do you mean, sai kun"
"Its sasuke's...."
Hinata's eyes widened and she started shaking.
"It...it can't be, ino..and sasuke won't do this to me"
"Hinata..." sasuke said with a shaking voice.
She pushed him.
"It happened, they were drunk and slept together..."
Hinata started to sob.
Sai gently calmed her.
"I am sorry hinata, ino was just drunk...she never meant to hurt you, but for your husband...you know he always like to avenge!" Sai said and he turned to leave, leaving a bewildered hinata.
Sasuke tried to touch her, hinata slapped him.
"You...you..you bastard" she activated her lion fists and started hitting him.
Sasuke accepted all her punches.
The last punch was going to land on him, but he held her hands.
"Hinata calm down, your chakra, its hurting the baby"
"SHUT...SHUT UP..." hinata cried and suddenly, she lost balance.
And everything went dark.
