❤️Chapter 5❤️
Naruto Pov:
Sue me. Yes, I decided to stick around like some demented stalker but I can't help it. I'm drawn to Hinata in a way that makes no sense but complete sense at the same time.
"You look like a stalker." Sasuke shouts. The people around us quicken there pace to get away from me.
"Thanks a lot." I grumble and fiddle with my keys. I can't help it. I...I want Hinata back. And I want to see our son.
"It's what friends are for." He shrugs nonchalantly and joins me in leaning against the hood of my HP.
"Are you going to talk to her or stand out here like a loser?" He asks.
"Fuck you, dude." I rely with a grin. "I'm looking for the right words to say to her y'know."
"Naruto, we both know thinking isn't your strong suit." He ribs.
"Gee thanks, teme." I roll my eyes. "Alright, where are the rest of them y'know?" I ask. Sai and Shikamaru are no doubt lurking around to find out information and Choji probably wants more cake, because like, damn Hinata's cakes are good.
"Who you callin' rest of them?" Hanabi Huyga glares from the sidewalk beside Neji, Shikamaru and Sai.
"So you finally decided to drop by?" I mutter drily.
"Be quiet Uzumaki. I'm here for my big sis and nephew." She glares and an involuntary shiver runs down my spine.
Huyga's and their eyes. My advice is don't get into a staring contest with them.
"I'm well aware, Hanabi." I reply.
Neji sighs in annoyance as he looks in between Sasuke and I, "what did you do?"
Huh? What did I do? Me! Nothing. Totally...
"We may have been asked to leave, very politely by one heck of a scary woman y'know." I scratchy the back of my head and look at my shoes to avoid the one inevitable glares.
"Of course." Hanabi sighs and turns her back on us.
Neji follows after his cousin. The image reminds me of a Pitbull protecting a kitten. But let me tell you, that kitten has claws.
"Do we follow y'know?" I ask. I'm being serious. I don't want to intrude on Hinata's personal space, especially since, since I told her I never wanted to see her again.
Shikamaru and Sai side eye each other and have a mini conversation in the quiet.
"I have a feeling something bad will happen. Let's go in." Sai says opening the door.
My brow furrowed at his comment. That's never good when Sai says that.
Sasuke and I get of the hood of the HP and enter the bustling shop once more.
Seizu stops what's she's doing and casts a hell glare at us and lifts a finger in a 'wait there's gesture. Hanabi and Neji casually look around the room under heavy scrutiny as they try to make the connection.
"I'm looking for Hinata Huyga. She's my sister. Has anyone seen her?" Hanabi shouts.
Seizu, arms crossed, marches over to us.
"She's busy. Come another day." She switches her look to me, "you stay the sugar granules away from Hinata and Boruto." She pulls out a cooking appliance and points it threateningly at me.
Hanabi and Neji's eyebrows furrow as Sasuke and I tilt our heads to the side. Sugar granules? What the hell is she on about?
In an over the top move she rolls her eyes so hard that I fear they may pop out and roll away.
"This cafe caters to children. No swearing. We're teaching good language." She sighs like that was totally obvious, "it's a hard habit to break out of once you get into it too." She mutters.
"That's incredible." Hanabi rolls her eyes. "Hey Neji?" She smiles devilishly.
"Yes?" Said cousin raises an eyebrow.
"Can we get lemon squares? Pleeaassseee?" She begs.
"Let me guess, I'm paying?" He murmurs.
"You know me so well." She turns back to Seizu, "go get our order, please." She asks sweetly with an undercurrent of evil.
For once, Seizu look taken aback and her jaw drops. As quick as lightning she fixes her expression to mild respect.
"The Huyga company will be in good hands in the future." She replies, "Hinata's upstairs." She reports as she bustles away.
"That was easy." Shikamaru smirks.
I slam my mouth shut after the brief realisation that I had been gawking, "I'm bringing you if we ever need to interrogate someone."
"Whatever." Hanabi rolls her eyes.
Off to my left a cup falls of the table and a small cry is heard somewhat distantly. Sasuke and I share a look. Something's not right.
I advance a single step forward before a table collapses. The screaming is getting louder and a few curses are legible.
"What's going on up there?" I shout. A man of about twenty is propelled down a staircase hidden in the back and lands face first. A small object comes skidding to my feet and tentatively I pick it up.
A nanite gun.
Sasuke immediately jumps to apprehend the man for his carrying of illegal and dangerous weapons as Hinata runs down the stairs.
Her eyes are filled with unshed tears and she clutches her child close to her chest. I run forward to intercept her and wrap my arms around her to help her relax and to satiate my desire to hold her.
Her body tremors slightly and her breathing is hurried and panicked.
"It's okay, Hinata. Breathe." I instruct lifting her face to gaze I to her beautiful eyes. She stares deep into mine and I brush away a stray fly of hair from her damp forehead.
"Everything is okay now. If anyone tried to land a hand on you, I'll kill them." I growl fiercely.
No one better try touch my Hina.
"I'm gone for two biscuit licking seconds!" Seizu shouts reentering. "Children, customers, please have a nice day and leave now. On the house." She says ushering people out.
Suprisingly, the mini evacuation goes quickly and all that remains is my crew, the man in the floor, Hinata and her child.
The kitchen hand nods solidly at Hinata before departing. Now I can get a good look at this criminal.
Hinata pulls out of my grasp much to my annoyance and settles herself next to Shikamaru. I glare at the man for a second before joining Sasuke.
The Uchiha has his katana out and against the pale man's throat and a deadly expression settled on his usually blank features.
The Katana is the original one from his family, given to him by his older brother. It holds immense importance and is the true herald to his past and the ninja world before the modern takeover.
Crouching, I grab a group of hair and yank so his face is level with mine. His lip curls as we meet and anger is set like stone in his monochrome face.
"Uzumaki." He spits. Sasuke's grip tightens a thin stream of blood peaks out.
"Watch your tone." The Uchiha snarls.
"Give me the child and your pain will be spared." He shouts.
A million emotions run through me, most of them being in the angry spectrum and the hatred makes my blood boil.
No one will touch my son.
"I would save your breathe, Toneri." Hinata hisses, "you wouldn't want to get beaten yet again."
Again? Nice work baby.
Arrrgghhhh. She is not my baby. I can't think this. Fuck me.
"Your time will come, Hinata Huyga. You will be mine. He will be ours. I will give you heaven and earth. You will see and have the power." Toneri preaches.
"Ewwww. Red flag alert!" Hanabi yells and kicks Toneri.
He winces at the blow to the ribs and a savage satisfaction runs through me.
He deserves it.
A few muffles coughs and groans come from the beaten man and a gurgling sound that absolutely freaks me the hell out.
The gurgling turns to demonic laughter and his blue eyes glow so brightly.
All of a sudden he stops and fixes a blank look at me.
"You have not won." He smirks as the windows get blown open.
