"I knew this would happen" Neji was furious at what Ten-Ten was telling him, he'd been shielded from Naruto's extramarital activities as much as Hinata was "I fucking knew it." They'd managed to get Hinata into bed but Hanabi had to lie next to her while baby Hiashi was placed in a crib beside the bed, she had wanted Neji to stay as well and as every time he tried to leave she seemed to have some sort of panic attack he agreed to stay for a few days. "We all did" Ten-Ten couldn't think of anything better to say "But that's not why she's so shell shocked, I spoke with Jiraiya, she got attacked, she retaliated." "Retaliated? She can't fight." "No but I know Naruto keeps a gun in the house." "Oh God!" Neji ran a hand through his long hair trying not to think about what Hinata might have done. "No wonder she's so freaked out." "It's going to take a long time for her to get over this, she may never manage it. Besides… that's not all that she's dealing with right now. The bitch Naruto was fooling around with, she showed up the other day, arrived at a restaurant and just sat down to talk to her, according Ino Hinata's description focussed a lot on how skinny the girl was, we think she might feeling depressed about herself." "That bastard messed up her life more than I ever did." Neji moaned miserably "and if I'd never messed up she'd never have met him so this is all my fault." "Don't you start too!" Ten-Ten threatened "I already have Hinata to cheer up so don't you dare get depressed." Neji couldn't help but smile at this "Yes ma'am" he agreed with a salute "So I'm guessing you have a plan." "It mostly involves comfort food and comedic movies but yeah, I've got something brewing." "Well I'm all yours, just tell me what you need me to do." Ten-Ten grinned, she'd only ever known Neji as a hopeless layabout who'd ruined his cousin's prospects so it was a pleasant surprise to find him so different now. "Great, stage one needs her favourite foods I don't know them all…" "Say no more!" Neji pulled a pen and notebook from his pocket and began to write.
'Reports of the Attack on the Namikaze Mansion have been confirmed by officials, they have found at least two dead bodies and as yet there is no sign of Either Hinata Namikaze or her son Hiashi. Hanabi Hyuga her younger sister who has been living at the house is being treated for shock but as yet has been unable to tell police anything. Her husband Naruto has been unavailable for comment at this time. Police ask anyone that saw anything or knows of any information that may pertain to this case to come forward. In international news the future of the Euro….' "Well if they succeeded in grabbing her why aren't they here?" Orochimaru snarled as he muted the television, he'd sent more than two men to that house and if there were only two bodies then there was a chance Hinata was being held by his men. "Perhaps they were hurt and had to lie low, whatever happens Naruto Namikaze has no clue where his wife and son are, that we can work on." "I suppose, have we had any word from Karin yet?" "None" Kabuto had visited the girls apartment to find her belongings mostly gone, all that was left was the furniture and anything that had little monetary value, she wasn't a great loss but he hadn't liked to distract Orochimaru with that information yet, when they'd dealt with Jiraiya and his people there would be plenty of time to chase after the little whore and make her sorry. "I'm afraid unless we hear back soon from the men with the Hyuga girl we will have nothing sir." "I know" Orochimaru snarled, it killed him that at this late stage of the game he would have nothing. On the monetary side everything was poised ready to go, on the defence side he had men armed to the teeth, everything was ready for a complete takeover of the Namikaze and Myoboku Empires. He had planned for it to be reasonably amicable with at least half of the net worth for their properties changing hands, the fact that he'd intended to hold the lives of their loved ones over their heads was just a small component of his plan and easily overlooked by a man of his morals. "Though we're not the only ones to have had no word on Hinata Namikaze." Kabuto waited for more to be said but there was silence from his boss and realisation soon came to him. "You plan to bluff it out?" his voice was incredulous, it was a ridiculous plan. "Why not?" "Because there is every chance she could show up." "Not really, if she was going to just show up she'd have done it by now. We'll wait, they will come to us."
"We need to let a certain amount of time pass before we go to Orochimaru" Shikaku Nara spoke in a slow precise tone that told of exactly how much thought had gone into what he said, "How're your acting skills Naruto?" "Pretty good" the question surprised Naruto "Good, because we're going to be making an appeal. The police have suggested it and whilst it's not something we'd normally do we are supposed to have been taken by surprise with all this. We'll have Gaara and the Pein send out chatter that we are making our own searches and enquiries but we need to make it seem like we are desperate enough to go through the proper channels on this one. We'll keep the safe house in operation for now but none of us can visit it, Hinata and Hiashi need to stay inside." "I need to see Hinata tonight" Naruto argued "No Naruto…" "She killed four men today, I'll be at the house for just a few minutes but I have to see her" Shikaku nodded slowly and transferred his gaze to the two Akimichi men "Choji" "It's OK" the young man looked up with determination in his eyes "Ino and the baby being safe is more important to me than anything else, I'll call her but I can do with not seeing her for a time if it means she's safe" "You have ten minutes with her Naruto then leave her to your mother and godmother, the rest of you men need to stay away from the safe house… not that I'm too worried about it" Shikaku managed to raise a small smile from most of the men at the table "A break from my wife will do me good."
Naruto arrived at the safe house as Neji was leaving, he was just on his way to pack some stuff for himself so he could stay on, the two men caught each other's eye. Neji's entire expression changed, his eyes hardened and his lips thinned in a grimace. Readying himself for the upcoming confrontation Naruto moved away from his colleagues and towards the Hyuga. Watching them Sasuke thought nothing odd about the situation until he saw Neji drawing his fist back "HEY?" Sasuke didn't get to them until after the first hit had landed and Naruto went staggering back from the force. "What the hell?" grabbing Neji he pulled him away ready to land a blow on the Hyuga but Naruto held up an arm from his position on the ground. "Let him go, he has every right" Sasuke was surprised at Naruto's order but followed it nonetheless Neji righted himself and pulled his clothing back into place from where Sasuke had mussed it up "You stay away from her!" "Even if we weren't having troubles right now you know I can't promise that," "No, I know you can't, even if you said you could I wouldn't believe you." Neji's words reminded Naruto of the promise he had once made to his friend. "I'm sorry I hurt her, I… I screwed up" "You did worse than screw up, you screwed up Hinata. She was the most sweet and perfect person in the world, she deserved the most wonderful life, I took away her chances of being something wonderful in her career but you took away her chances of being loved properly. She always had strength before, now it's like she's not even there." "I'm going to fix it" "HOW? It's beyond repair. We've managed to pull her out of her depression but there is nothing you can do to save your marriage!" "There must be! I can mend this, I don't know how but somehow…" "No." "I have to, I love her too much to let her go but I will give her time…." "It will be years, even she might take you back but it wouldn't be real, it would be for show, because she believes marriage should last forever, behind closed doors she'd want nothing to do with you" "I'll wait" "You'll wait?" Neji scoffed at his response "How many women will you sleep with while you wait?" Naruto did not respond as he realised the challenge Neji was warning him of, he could spend years trying to fix things with Hinata but as long as there were other women in the picture she'd never let him back into her life never mind her bed. "You get it yet Naruto?" Neji snarled at his friend "You get it all?" "I get it" Naruto nodded his eyes a mix of sadness and determination "I'll move out, I'll leave her be but I won't move on" in Naruto's mind he tacked on another part to his plan, he would ensure she cannot move on as well, he would do all he could to scare off her potential suitors he would just try to make sure no one knew he was doing it. Still not trusting him Neji nodded on the one hand he knew that Naruto was not the best choice for his cousin but he was now the only choice, Hinata loved him, she was angry right now but she loved him and though she might try to move on it would never work. Hinata was old fashioned, to her mind marriage was for life, she might try to move on but Neji knew her too well. Just as she'd threatened to move out when he'd screwed up her threat to leave Naruto would be just as empty. The least Neji could do was try to make sure when Naruto was finally back in Hinata's life he'd be suitably penitent.
Previously I had this story written so even the readers wouldn't be aware that Hinata was safe until the last minute but I'd already had her kidnapped once in this fic and no one would believe Naruto being willing to put his wife and child in so much danger so I changed it around (plus it was starting to get confusing) hope you all liked!
