Chapter 23: Naruto, The Ninja
Hinata's POV
My teeth finished grinding the chocolate as I watched TV. I was so lucky Itachi was staying in his villa in LA. Otherwise it's with some weird butler at my own villa in San Fransico though I am not willing to take a 16 hour bus drive all the way up north.
Itachi watched me, his eyes completely judgmental as to why I was just camping out on his nice sofa watching some more Vampire Diaries without a care in the world.
But hey, he let me cry into his shoulder for like an hour. So it's all good that he gets to judge me for the time being. I get to watch Kai and Damon battle things out a bit.
He let me wear one of Sasuke's little kid shirts that fits me perfectly along with sweats that passes as capris. Sakura and the girls did arrive earlier, they were all waiting for the shower upstairs in my room... well our room since I have to share it with them tonight. They refuse to let me out of their sights, especially Sakura. Something about depression and jumping off a building.
I'm trying my best to erase all memory of the little baby girl holding her mother's hand while they confront their idiotic father when he was with his new friends and girlfriend. Yep, nothing to be upset about.
"Hina, calm down on the chocolate," Itachi reached over, trying to snatch the Hersey's bar from my hand. I yanked my hand away of course.
He sighed, scratching his long black hair, "Hey. You need to stop sulking."
"I'm no s-sulking!" I exclaimed. "Now l-leave me alone. I-I want silence."
"What are you going to say to Naruto if you see him again?" Itachi pressed.
My chest crunched and I stopped chewing my chocolate. I didn't answer him though.
"Hina, you can't run from him forever," Itachi sighed.
"I know that," I said. "I just need time to myself to think is all."
I didn't miss Itachi's eyes widening as I finished my sentence.
"How much time?"
"I don't know," I shook my head. "Try being a girlfriend who just finds out recently that her boyfriend has a kid. I need more than just a few hours."
There was a bump, Sakura snapping than silence.
I reached for the remote, "Now if you would excuse me, I'd like to admire the fight between a cute vampire and a sexy serial killer witch."

Naruto's POV
I could tell Sakura is doing everything she can to not beat me up just by looking at my bruised face. Ino and Tenten didn't look so happy with me. Hey, I did just climb a two story modern house and into the open window without warning. Sakura smacked me with a pillow and I fell on the floor on my face. I could be a ninja!
Focus, Naruto. Girlfriend's mad. Got to get her back..
"Where's Hinata?" I asked right away, getting to my feet.
"You don't need to know," Ino crossed her arms.
"Look I'm sorry," I ran my fingers through my blonde hair. "Telling you guys about my daughter isn't exactly a normal conversation topic."
"But you could've at least told Hinata," Sakura snapped. "Or even me! Aren't we all your friends?! DON'T YOU LOVE HINATA?!"
"Cause if you say no buddy," Tenten twirled a pen as she settled down on the bed. "I have five years in chucking knife lessons."
I raised my hands, "I do love Hinata! I just never got around to telling her-"
"You're somebody else's father?" Ino anticipated.
"Her name is Magnolia," I sighed. "I didn't know what I could say to her or to any of you. It's hard as it is hiding it from anybody."
They didn't looked convinced but I really had nothing else to say. I'm lost, I'm very sorry, I would give anybody my life to have things go back to the way it used to be.
But how can I say that and get them to listen? Saying it isn't the hard part, their belief in me is what's hard. Their newly found hatred might be too blinding for them to listen to me.
"She's downstairs," Sakura whispered.
I blinked, "Huh?"
"Hinata," She looked at me, her emerald eyes dull. "You better go and make things right with her. But be careful, there's a second Sasuke mutated with a Neji down there with her."
I blinked. A second Sasuke? I thought -
"Itchy or whatever?" I pondered.
"It's Itachi."
"Yeah that one!" I snapped my fingers. "I can take him. I only let Neji and Sasuke beat my face in because I needed a wake up call."
I looked at Sakura but she wasn't looking at me. Nor was Tenten or Ino. Even Temari who was taking a shower had her attention at the door.
My eyes followed their looks only to find my worn out girlfriend, her arms crossed and leaning against the doorframe.
"Hinata I-"
She shook her head, "Follow me."
