I'm On My Way. (Naruto Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty Four

   "The three of you are lucky that he's not pressing any charges." Fugaku scolded, as the three boys sat in his office, icing their faces.
Sasuke and Neji had to ice their swelling noses and cheeks, while Neji just sat there unbothered. Truthfully the actual fight hadn't hurt them, it was only their drunken, angry girlfriends. "Fugaku, you would've done the same thing if you saw what he was doing."
He said, still pisssed off about Toneri.

Putting his hand up to silence him, he said, "Save it for Minato. You'll need to explain it to him, rather than me." Naruto resisted the urge of rolling his eyes, while Fugaku went around his desk, and stood in front of his son.
"Now Sasuke, you hit Sakura?" Fugaku asked, while rolling up his sleeves and Sasuke sighed, already knowing where the conversation was about to go. "Dad it was an accident! I tried to apologize and she punched the fuck out of me!"
He tried to explain, while removing the ice from his face.

Without caring for his explanation, Fugaku slapped him harshly, making Sasuke shut up immediately, while his friends sat there awkwardly. "After you hit her, you're lucky that all she did was punch you. Sure, she put herself in the middle, but you have the nerve to be mad when she was just trying to help you?
Just wait till your mother hears about this."
"Dad, don't tell her please." Fugaku shrugged while leaning back, and folding his arms across his chest, "I have to." Sighing, he slouched in the chair, just as the door bust open and Naruto's father walked in, along with Hiashi.

They were clearly pissed off.
"How much trouble are they in?" Minato  started, while Naruto avoided his gaze.
His blue eyes remained on the digital clock that sat on Fugaku's desk, watching it slowly change to two in the morning. "None, they're lucky though, he doesn't want to press charges." Hiashi sighed in clear relief. His father nodded before asking his friend, "Are they free to go?"
"After the both of you sign some papers."
They both nodded and said, "All of you, wait outside."

As soon as the boys walked out of the doors, Naruto was met with Kushina, who looked obviously pissed off. "Hey, Mom." She said while hugging her, "Don't, "Hey Mom" me, are you out of your mind? What happened to your face?" She asked him, while her hand forced his face to look down at her. "I-I saw Hinata's ex forcing himself on her, and I just lashed out." With a sigh, she said, "Oh my God, Naruto how many times have I told you to think before you act!" Her hands grabbed each side of his face, as she examined his busted lip, and lightly swelled cheek.

"He didn't do anything to her right?"
She asked him quietly, "No, but he was close." "Good, but I'm still slightly disappointed that you handled it this way." Rubbing the back of his neck, he said, "I'm sorry, Mom."
"I know you don't mean it." He shrugged,
"I don't." Rolling her eyes she said, "Whatever. Go see her, she's upset." He nodded before asking her, "Where is she?"
"Outside, with Sakura and TenTen."
As soon as the cold air hit him, he was engulfed by Hinata, as her cold body clung to him.
"N-Naruto." He looked down at her shivering body, "Hime, have you been outside the whole time?"

Taking off his jacket, he placed it over her shoulders. "Naruto, I'm so sorry." She said, snuggling into his muscular chest.
"No, if anything I'm sorry. I practically put you in that situation."
"No, if it weren't for me and my recklessness you wouldn't be in this situation, from the beginning. I'm sorry." He noticed the way she avoided his gaze, and his hand gently forced her to. "You're allowed to be reckless, without a guy trying to take advantage of that, Hinata.
I promise you that it's okay." Tears started to weld in her eyes, and she just shook her head.
"I was scared of him, and I-I just froze. I'm sorry."

He shook his head, hating that she kept putting the blame on herself.
"Don't apologize, it was appropriate of you to behave in that way. I'm just glad things didn't get too bad, you know?" She nodded, while trying to stop herself from feeling so insecure.
"Y-yeah. Thank you." He smiled a little, while looking down at her beautiful face.
"Now, can I borrow a kiss? I promise to give it back." As she laughed, it made him get a warm feeling, even in the November wind.

Putting her hands on each side of his handsome face, she pulled him down to her as he kissed her forehead. Pulling away she said, "I love you, Naruto. Go home and get some rest, don't back talk your parents, because you don't need anymore bruises, okay Baby?" 
He kissed her hands, and saw how she didn't want to talk about whatever she was going through. She was shutting him out, and though hd hated when she did that, he knew that now wasn't the time to confront her about it.
"Same to you, Hime. If I don't text or call you, just know that I got my phone taken, but I'll find a way to see you before Monday, okay?
I love you too."

Hugging her one last time, as their parents  walked out of the doors of the station, they were forced to pull away from each other though neither of them wanted to. The bright smile that spread across her lips, made everyone and everything around then disappear, as his mother said something snarky that made Hinata giggle. Not paying his mother any mind, he stared into her lavender colored eyes, and the look in her eyes made his chest tighten as he got butterflies. It made him worry, because he could tell that was so close to breaking, but she held a smile that tried to tell him otherwise.
It broke his heart, to know that he didn't know how to help.  
Kissing her forehead, Naruto looked into her eyes and said, "Goodnight, Hime. I love you."

"And you! I can't believe you let him go out tonight in the first place! What's wrong with you two?" Kushina scolded as her family sat in the kitchen. "You never listen to me! This whole thing could've been avoided if you listened to anything I say, Minato!" At this point, his mother wasn't even mad at Naruto and his actions anymore, she was mad at his father. After almost an hour of yelling at Naruto, he wouldn't of had it any other way.
With a sigh leaving his lips, he wondered how she hadn't gone hoarse yet.

"Ba-"
"Stop, Minato." She said with a roll of her dark blue eyes, Naruto noticed that whenever his father called her a pet name during an argument, she'd soften up, and he smiled because Hinata did the same.
"Naruto, you're grounded. A month, no parties, and you come home right after school. Hinata is welcome to come over, but only before seven, same goes for the rest of your friends. As for you, Minato."
"Psh you're not giving me a punishment."
His father said getting up from his seat, and wrapping his arm around bis mothers shoulders. "Oh, but I am." She said, before looking at her son, and holding out her hand. "Phone." Getting up, he put it in her hand.
"Go take a shower, you smell like alcohol."

Walking up the stairs, as he heard his mother giggled at whatever they were doing, he couldn't help but wonder if Hinata was doing okay. He knew she couldn't of been in much trouble, considering Neji would be her father's main focus, but as soon as he noticed her hickies, she'd get an ear full. Going to his bathroom, to follow his mother's instructions, he looked in the mirror to see that he had slight bruising on to his cheekbone, along with his bottom lip being bed, and sighed deeply.

Striping out of his clothes, he couldn't stop himself from worrying about Hinata as he got into his warm shower. After about twenty minutes he stepped out, and wrapped a towel around his waist, before brushing his teeth, and going to his bedroom.
Getting ready for bed, and lying in his bed, he tossed and turned until well past midnight,
worrying about his girlfriend. The look of emptiness in her eyes seemed to haunt him, and he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep without speaking to her about her well-being.
Getting out of his bed, he went towards his closet and threw on sweatpants, a shirt, and a matching hoodie.

Locking his bedroom door, he grabbed his car keys and opened the window next to her bed.
Climbing down his two story house skillfully,
he wasted no time in rushing to his lavish car that sat parked in front of the garage.
Driving the few minutes to Hinata's house,
he parked his car at the end of her culdasac and walked two houses down to her house. With his hood low, he noticed that the lights of her home were off, which was a good sign.
  Looking up to her window, he jumped and held himself on the ledge of her house. Considering she had a huge house, it wasn't an easy task, but he knew he could do it as long as he remained quiet.

Pulling himself by his muscular arms up, he proceeded to knock on her window four consecutive times, he waited for her to open the window. Opening her curtains, he saw her beautiful lavender eyes underneath the moonlight and smiled brightly. His eyes looked over her body, as he noticed that she wore one of the many shirts she had stole from him.
He couldn't help the smile that came to his lips, as her fingers worked to unlock and open her window.
"Baby, you shouldn't be here." She said to him, as he skillfully went through her window, and lock it behind him. "I couldn't stop thinking about you." He said while placing his hands on her hips, making her blush cutely.
"Naruto, I don't want you to get in any more trouble." She said, before his hands moved away from her body, and pulled off his hoodie, alongside his shirt. " "I won't."
When she bit her bottom lip, he didn't waste anytime as he kissed her soft lips.
