Glad you all liked that last chapter, I was worried you'd think I took it too far but I wanted Hinata to prove herself.
Wanting to rid herself of what she had done Hinata had changed her clothes whilst Naruto went to the panic room, she met him at the foot of the stairs and Hanabi ran into her arms. The two sisters stood still and silent for a number of minutes as people moved around them. "I was so worried" she heard Hanabi mutter and pressed a kiss to the top of her head in comfort. She held her tight ignoring the pain in her right arm, using the gun had hurt, she guessed it was the recoil that she'd felt every time the gun went off. Hiashi was sleeping comfortably in his father's arms and Hinata focussed her gaze on him, tears filled her eyes, her innocent baby had a liar for a father and a killer for a mother. "We have to get going" Naruto held out a hand to Hinata but she just stared at it, her eyes drifted to his face and they were hard filled with anger and revulsion. Naruto realised that the moment that they had shared only minutes ago was done with, she hated him again. "Where to?" Hanabi was the one that questioned him "A safe place" "I thought this was a safe place" Naruto smiled at her childlike trust, "It normally would be but right now it's too isolated, we've gathered a few other people that need to be protected as well" "You make it sound like a war or something." "It is" Jiraiya was waiting for them "And I'm sorry that innocents have been brought into this but the man instigating all this doesn't care about who he hurts." Hanabi nodded, she hadn't spent a lot of time with Jiraiya but she knew he was an intelligent and powerful man. They walked out to a waiting car where Naruto strapped his son into a chair before having a hushed conversation with hid godfather, Hinata and Hanabi had climbed into the car and buckled themselves up. Naruto turned to them and caught Hinata's eye, they stared at each other for a few silent moments before breaking the look. "Ok, Jiraiya's gonna drive you out and I'll catch you all later, it's going to be fine." as he made to leave Hinata reached out and grabbed his hand. "You're not coming?" she was fearful again, she needed the security he offered. "I'll follow on later" he squeezed her fingers gently, he hated to let go but he knew he had to "I love you" She didn't respond and the silence spoke volumes to the others in the car. "Jiraiya take care of them." He moved away from the car and watched as it pulled away carrying his family, the most precious people in his life to safety. He watched the car head down the driveway praying that Hinata would turn back and look at him, wishing for some signal from her that her affection was still in place. He kept his eyes on the back of her head and to his eternal relief she looked back, he could see her pale eyes staring back at him before the car carried her around the corner and out of sight. With her gone Naruto allowed his anger to shine through, his eyes flashed and his mouth set in a grim line. Time to go to work.
Hinata wouldn't let go of her hand, all throughout the car journey she had clung to Hanabi as though she might disappear, it confused the young girl no end but she knew something big was happening and it scared her. Ever since Naruto had come into their lives everything had been wonderful, their lives had been easy and comfortable, Hanabi viewed the future with happiness as well as determination, before all she'd thought about was doing well at school, getting into a reasonably good college and then helping Hinata to pay off Neji's debts, she hadn't envisioned a future where she had a chance to do anything special. Hinata's current attitude to Naruto was another worrying feature, were they going to break up? For purely selfish reason it scared her, where would they end up? How would they live? She knew Hinata too well to think of her as just another ex-wife living off child support and alimony. If Hinata went back to work then there was Hiashi to consider. Hanabi felt tired just thinking about it all. Looking across at her elder sister Hanabi was scared by the look in her eyes, Hinata held Hanabi's hand in her left and with the other she was stroking Hiashi's cheek like she was afraid if she stopped holding them something bad would happen, when they arrived at their destination Hanabi had to coax Hinata's hand loose before she could get out of the car, Hinata held Hiashi close as they entered the safe house refusing to relinquish her bundle to anyone else. It was with relief that Hanabi watched Ino and Sakura came forwards to embrace her older sister, she knew well that her sister needed support and here she would receive it. Upon seeing the new arrivals Ten-Ten took in Hanabi's troubled expression and brought her into a hug. "Are you OK kid?" "I'm alright" Hanabi shrugged "But…" she looked over at Hinata who had been led to a couch where she sat rocking her son in her arms "I don't know what's wrong, Hinata's so quiet." "She's scared, and she and Naruto have argued" Ten-Ten told her carefully. "I know they're arguing… What did he do?" "Something pretty bad" Hanabi nodded guessing at the heinous crime that Naruto could have done to so totally destroy her sister. At that moment she hated the man her sister had married, she'd been suspicious of what he'd done that caused them to argue. "Why are we here? No one will tell me." "Someone's attacking the families, they tried to hurt Ino so we need to stay here for a little while." "You too?" Hanabi asked hopefully relieved when the woman nodded, Ten-Ten was one of the few people that she had known before their rise to riches. Ten-Ten had babysat Hanabi occasionally when Neji was in more trouble than usual. "Yeah I'll be around too" Ten-Ten had one arm around her shoulders when a new arrival Made Hanabi feel even more at home. "Neji!" she ran into her cousin's arms, he'd been busy recently and he'd not been able to visit as often as she'd like. "Hey 'nabi" Neji embraced her pressing a kiss to her forehead "How's…" he cut himself off as he took in Hinata's haunted expression "What's happened?" "Long story" Ten-Ten gave him a look that told him to ask no more questions so he nodded and just held his youngest cousin tighter.
"It's going to be hard to clean this up." Naruto muttered surveying the damage, some of Hinata's shots had gone wild burying themselves into the wall and door and there were many more in his own desk and the wall behind it. He thanked god that Hinata had managed to avoid the shots that had been fired so indiscriminately. "Whoever did this didn't care about the consequences, they were going to kill my wife." "I'll get someone in ASAP." Sasuke assured him, he completely agreed with Naruto's analysis but knew that agreeing or encouraging him on this vein would lead to a very angry and pissed off Naruto, he needed to calm him down, control the situation. "We need to think Naruto. We know who might be the one coming after us." "I will kill him" "Yes but that will come later, right now we need to strategise. Shikamaru's been talking with your father, we think it'd be an idea to put out a message saying that Hinata's missing. That there was evidence of a struggle and that we're looking for her. Orochimaru wants something from us and part of his plan for us is that we should be parted from certain people. Hinata is one of those people, if they think they've succeeded in something they may make a move. And then we will catch them." "And then I can kill them?" if it wasn't for the subject matter Naruto would have sounded like a petulant child, Sasuke smirked at the casual way he spoke and the two of them exchanged looks, their eyes matched, they were angry at the people who were going this and they wanted revenge. "Yes Naruto" Sasuke spoke with an amused voice "Then we will kill them."
OK we get to see some interaction between Neji and Naruto in the next chapter so that should be fun. Sorry if it was short but l is a busy person!
