Impure

Hinata Pov:

I close my eyes against the piercing sun rays filtering into my window through the blinds.

On second thought I bolt up. Owie. The fast movement makes my head spin and I spend a good while rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

On the other side of the hall I can hear Boruto crying and screaming.

"Ahh shit, baby. I'm coming." I call out as I randomly dig through my clothes pile and pull on a clean black top. I don't care enough to change out of my Powerpuff girls PJ shorts and I dash across the hall.

Lucky it's not a big hall.

I pick up Boruto from his bassinet and find he has a high temperature. No! This cannot be happening.

"It's okay baby. It's okay. Come on. Let's get some food into you." I pull up my top and guide him so he can suckle some milk. He takes it keenly enough but it's very slow and he keeps attempting to bite me, luckily he hasn't got teeth.

Quick as a flash I burp him, change his nappy, bathe him and put him in a blue, frog onesie.

He has tears running down his cheeks the whole time and some snot on his face.

"I can't put you in the community crib can I?" I sigh.

"Nuuuuhh." He cries.

"No no. None of that." I pick him up and hum a small tune to him. I cannot deal with all this noise either. "I know baby. I know." I rub his back and he burps again.

I check the time and squeak. It's ten twenty three.

"You gotta be kidding me!" I shout. That just sets Boruto off again. I put him down in his bassinet and hand him his dummy before I run to the bathroom so I can brush my teeth and grab my uniform for today. I neglect the pants opting for my PJs and pray that no one decides to piss me off because I will loose it.

I tie my long hair in a loose bun and decline makeup, only putting on some deodorant and splashing water on my face.

I dash back into Boruto's room where my shoes are and slip into them. That all sorted I pick up my son and hurtle down the stairs.

The shop is fully up and running as I dash in. A few of my regulars laugh but otherwise go back to usual. "Good morning Hinata and Boruto." They wave.

I smooth back my hair and wave back. "Morning."

"Hinata, today's your day off and your wearing your Powerpuff girl PJ shorts." My replacement for today, Niko shouts across the cafe.

"Right, I knew that." My customers giggle and I smile sheepishly.

Boruto starts crying again and spits his dummy out. "Oh, come on honey. None of that." I go to pick the dummy up but a man beats me to it.

"Here you go." He passes it to me with a kind smile on his face. I give him an automatic smile and trip back.

"Na...naruto-kun?" I have to be dreaming. There's no way he's here.

"I hate you."

"Excuse me, I have to go." I take the dummy out of his hands and shoulder my way past making a break for the exit.

Three men block my path out and I suck in a deep breath.

Many of my regulars stand up and stare down Naruto and his gang.

"What do you people want with lady Hinata?" Enzo questions. He was the one that carried me to the hoverport to take me to the hospital.

"We simply wish to talk to her." Shikamaru diffuses the situation.

"Talk to her, my ladle. The last time someone simply 'wished to talk to her' they tranqed her and tried to end Boruto!" Seizu storms in front of me.

"Okay, that's enough." I put my free hand on my hip. "Children it's okay. You don't have to hide, the adults are just talking." I look towards the children that are staring wide eyed at their parents and the confrontation.

"Everybody sit back down, nothing bad will happen. We can talk in here." I bargain.

"And if people overhear?" Sasuke asks.

"Then you know you talk loud." I spin around and head back to my room. "Where are you going?" Sai asks this time.

"I'm grabbing a bottle for my child and getting some Panadol. I pinky swear I'm not running away." These kids are really rubbing off on me.

I hike back up the stairs and stick Boruto in his high chair so I can find a baby bottle, a blanket, a wipe, some decent shorts and some Panadol.

"Open up honey." I instruct as I try to give him the Panadol. He shakes his head mutinously and the spoon flies out of my hand.

"Uh oh. Your powers are starting up early." Magic was all but gone in most people. Very rare is it to still have the magic capabilities of your bloodline anymore.

Even a disgraced Huyga such as my self still holds a semblance of power considering I have abilities.

Our Lords are the ones with the most power and the reason they are the protectors of the districts.

I'm in for a world of trouble considering at only three months old my baby is starting to access his gifts.

"Boruto you need to have the medicine or you'll get sick." I put my hands on my hips and stare down at my angry baby.

"Nuuuuhh." He cries.

"None of that now. Come, take the medicine." I put some more on a different spoon and hold it near his mouth. He pouts but opens his mouth for me to slide the spoon in.

"Good boy." I kiss his cheek but he shakes his head.

"Oh, you aren't a good boy?" I raise my eyebrow while I change pants.

"Maaaa aaaa naa."

I clap my hands at him and giggle while I fill up the bottle with milk. I don't have enough confidence to breast feed in front of my childhood friends.

"Okay baby boy. Let's wipe your nose now." I grab a tissue from the box and wipe his nose delicately. I chuck it in the bin and wash my hands before grabbing a fluffy blanket, reinserting his dummy, grabbing the bottle and heading back down.

"Everything okay?" I whisper to Niko.

"No fight club yet unless I haven't been told." She whispers back.

I roll my eyes but give her a big grin and walk over to the table where my childhood friends, now Lords and Ladies, sit uncomfortably.

Sarada is the first to notice me. "Binta!" She calls, waving me over. "Come sit next to me!" She pats a chair and I happily take it.

"Hey Binta! Hey Boru!" She grins happily.

"Hello Sarada." I smile warmly at the giggling child.

"Ms Binta, this is my mummy and these are my uncles and aunties." She points everybody out and I smile at her simple joy.

"Hello Sarada's Mummy and aunties and uncles." I wave.

"Hey, what's in the blanket?" A mini Shikamaru asks.

"Shikidai, it's rude to ask things without introducing yourself first." Temari berates her child.

"What a drag." He whispers. "Yes Mummy." He says a bit louder and I grin at him. "My name is Shikidai. What's in the blanket?" He asks again.

"Hello Shikidai. I'm Hinata. My baby is in the blankets. He's not feeling well so I'm trying to keep him warm." I explain.

"Do you want me to check over him?" Sakura offers. I smile and shake my head at my ex-bestfriend.

"No thank you." I reply.

"Aaaaggggaaaa. Maaaaa buuuu." Boruto says. I giggle along with the others.

"Is someone thirsty?" I coo to him.

"Aya baaa." He stretches his hands out of the blanket so he can hold the bottle. I give it to him and lift my eyes back to the table.

"So what did you want to talk about?"

Naruto Pov:

Hinata calmly listens to Sarada ramble on. Silly baby had instantly interupted when Hinata asked what we wanted to talk to her about.

I can't say I'm mad though because I get to watch her and my baby. Well, the blankets anyway.

It's been barely over a year and all the feelings I have for her are in overdrive.

She's definitely done a good job raising our son and creating a welcoming business.

I'll admit I was skeptical of being here when she wasn't but I'm really glad I decided to stay.

"Binta, who's Boruto's daddy?" Sarada asks. Trust a child to cut to the heart of things.

"He doesn't have a daddy unless you count the cafe." Hinata explains softly.

Sarada wrinkles her nose. "But he's gotta have a daddy. So, who is it?"

"Hey Sarada, did you know there's a toy station over next to the drawing station?" Hinata distracts her.

"What? Really? Can I play there?" She asks excitedly.

"You'll have to ask your mummy and daddy but if you want too its okay with me." Hinata replies.

"Mummy please can I?" Sarada begs. Sakura sighs and nods. "Okay, but come back as soon as I call you over okay?"

"Yes, Mummy! Thanks Mummy." Sarada hops of her chair and runs through the crowd to the toy station.

"Can I go to the drawing station?" Inojin asks Sai. He knows how to twist his dad around his little finger and Sai nods.

"Same rules as Sarada. As soon as I call you over you come straight back." He tells his son sternly.

"How about you Shikidai? Do you want to go play with Sarada and Inojin?" Shikamaru asks his mini copy.

"No. That sounds like a drag." The mini Nara complains. All the girls giggle while we men chuckle at the sour little pineapple head.

"Come on pineapple." Cho Cho grabs Shikidai's hand and pulls him away.

"What a drag." He complains again.

"Wait, I'm coming too!" Metal calls out while jumping down from his dad's lap.

Finally that leaves the adults and one little baby who doesn't understand what we're talking about anyway.

My little baby. I gulp.

"Can I see your baby Hinata? Please?!" Sakura asks taking a seat next to her old bestfriend.

"Okay. Just know this, he's in a mood. Don't say I didn't warn ya." Hinata carefully passes the blankets to Sakura who takes it eagerly.

"Awww he's so-" her sentence gets cut off as Boruto spits in her face.

"Oh god. I'm so sorry." Hinata pulls a waitress aside and asks for a towel. She takes Boruto back and pulls the bottle out much to his annoyance.

"Aaaaaahhhh!" He screams.

"Stop that Boruto Uzuhiko Huyga. That was not nice." She scolds Boruto. He strains away and the cups on the table go crashing onto the floor.

"Boruto. None of that okay?" Hinata orders again and he stops. She puts his dummy in his mouth and that quiets him.

The waitress comes back and hands the towel to Sakura.

"I'm so sorry again Sakura." Hinata helps clean Sakura up.

"Would you like to borrow one of my shirts?" She offers.

"Yes please." Sakura smiles.

"Uh, I would ask for you to hold him again but I might just take him with me." She winces.

"I'll hold him." I jump at the offer. Hinata gives me side look but Sakura interrupts before Hinata backs out.

"It's okay. I've had worse stuff on me. I'll gladly hold him."

"Ummm, okay. I'll be back." She scurries off.

I take Hinata's seat and look over Sakura's shoulder to my baby.

His eyes are closed as he leans against Sakura. His dummy covers up pretty much all his cheeks.

I have to say, it is beyond cute.

"Hey little guy. I'm Naruto Uzumaki y'know." I grin at his still form. His eye opens up a tiny bit and reveals cerulean blue. Within one second and the next the chair I'm sitting on falls over and I'm lying face down on the floor with fallen cake on my face.

"Oh goodness." Hinata calls.

I push the cake off my face and try to maintain some dignity. Hinata smiles awkwardly before picking Boruto up and giving the shirt to Sakura.

"I'm sorry about that. He's not usually like this." She apologises on his behalf.

"Impure child. Just kill him and spare the pain Hinata Huyga." Some rando yells through the glass.

One of the waitresses storms out the door, grabs him by the ear and escorts him away. Worriedly Hinata follows and so I do to.

The man is in and alleyway and the waitress is standing above him with her arms crossed.

"You ever say that in Hinata's shop again I'll personally end your life." She glares.

"Seizu, it's okay." Hinata tries to pull the waitress back. The man stands up and lunges at Hinata and my baby but I grab his arm and shove him back into the wall.

"Don't even try it bastard." I snarl. He whimpers pathetically and breaks down. Disgusted, I drop him and turn back to the two ladies and my son.

"Let's go back inside." I suggest.

The waitress pouts. "I could've kicked his ass you know." She crosses her arms and frowns at me. "Lord Seventh of district two."

I nod and gesture back to the cafe. "Let's go."

Hinata nods and pulls her friend back.

"Does that happen often?" I ask when we're reseated. This time I'm next to Hinata.

"It's rare if it doesn't happen." She pulls our baby closer to her chest and Boruto makes sad noises.

"It's okay honey. That man doesn't mean it and your the most perfect thing in all the districts." She kisses his forehead and a giggle comes from the blankets. The sound warms my core.

"Hinata we've come here for a more significant reason then eating cakes and catching up." Sakura starts gently. "We think someone might try to kill your baby and we want you to come with us for you and your son's protection."

"I know someone wants to kill him. Many people do. It happens many times a day, I can handle them." She says casually. She snags a cookie off Sakura's plate and grins at her friend.

"Aaaaa aaaaa!" Boruto tries to grab the cookie.

"None for you honey. You don't have teeth." She pokes Boruto's nose.

"Maaaa!" The cookie flies out of her hand and into the bin. Hinata frowns annoyed.

"How do you have such good aim?" She tickles him.

"Huh? What's going on here?" Choji asks. I'm glad he did. I wanted to ask to but I felt stupid for it.

"He has accessed his gifts already?" Sasuke looks at the baby with newfound impressions.

"Mhm. Just this morning but he's always had good aim." She tries to steal my cake now and I watch bemused as the same thing happens again.

"Okay mister, if you do that again I'll put you in time out okay?" She stares at him with no remorse or mercy.

"Aaaaah!" He screams.

"I'm not kidding Boruto, you get a time out now." Hinata says angrily.

"Maaaa!" Things start falling on the floor.

"Stop this now, Boruto!" Hinata demands and slowly everyone stops shaking.

"Again again!" All the children under eight and above two giggle.

"Time out now, Boruto." Hinata stands up and puts him in the 'community crib'. It's really just an enclosed area with blankets, pillows, plushies and mattresses.

She heads to the kitchen and grabs a tub of ice cream. I raise my eyebrow at her as she digs in.

"He's very powerful. So you say he just accessed it this morning?" Sai remarks.

"He's a very smart boy." Hinata defends.

"Indeed, it seems he will become a Lord one day with that kind of power." Sasuke commends.

"Just like his dad." I grin proudly. Hinata sends me the glare from hell.

"He's not an Uzumaki. He's not your son Naruto."

"Then who's is he?" I ask somewhat aggressively.

"None of your business. Remember, you were the one that never wanted to see me again so I decided to see someone else too." She bites back.

My pride takes a massive hit and I deflate. "You know I never meant that."

"Do I?" She questions. "So what information have you got on the killers other than their dickheads who hate my baby?" She asks changing the topic.

There's a spot of icecream on her upper lip that I really want to lick off.

"These people don't just want to kill your baby, but all of ours too." Ino supplies first. Hinata frowns but waits in silence for Ino to continue.

"They're the enemies of the Lords and there have been many attacks at them. We believe they want our blood, especially the Uzumaki and Huyga bloodline." Sakura winces at Hinata's cold expression.

"He's not an Uzumaki." She glares at us all. A stab of pain is directly aimed at me.

"And we're not saying he is, but this is more serious than some dickheads trying to hurt your baby because your his mum." Sakura soothes. Hinata looks furious.

"Oh really. Some dickheads trying to drown my baby isn't serious? Some fucked up people trying to starve him to see is he'll quote unquote 'start shooting lasers' isn't serious? I'm sorry if my baby being constantly threatened isn't serious enough until he's in the same category as 'the enemies of Konoha want blood to build a super weapon or whatever'. I'm sorry that's not serious enough for you." Hinata has gone so cold and her voice was both so loud and quiet that I'm really scared.

Sakura looks ashamed and dips her head. Hinata is still glaring.

"I think I'll take my insignificant son and put him down for his nap now. Please enjoy your food and drink." She gets up and leaves us in our bubble of shame.

"Hinata..." Sakura tries but it's futile. Hinata has already marched towards her son, picked him up and left. I drop my head on the table and sigh.

"We should probably pay and then get out before the customers try to kill us y'know." I raise my hand put out for a waitress.

It's Hinata's friend from the alleyway. Seizu if I remember correctly.

She glares at us but has a smile on her face so it's even scarier.

"What can I get ya? Another cake? More serviettes? Manners? Brains? More drinks? I recommend our special salted caramel cheesecake."

"Just the price please. I'm transferring."

"Okay, that'll be one thousand dollars." She grins.

"Excuse me?" I stare incredulous at her.

"All up, your meal costs five hundred dollars. I have a policy that if anyone upsets Hinata I charge them double. It's also her day off you meanies. I can't believe you had to go and wreck it for her." She says the whole thing with a straight face.

Resigned I tap my nanopad over wire transfer.

"Hope your children have a nice day." She smiles glacially and walks off to help another customer.

"We really screwed up y'know." I say when we leave the shop.

"Yes, we did." Ino stares at Sakura.

"I know it was my fault okay? I feel horrible but let's just go home and review our plan." Sakura storms off to the exit pod and helps Sarada type in their address.

"I hope we can make a plan." Shikamaru sighs.
