            Akimichi Chouza had some timing. Chouji was able to at least wipe up the mess he made on the floor and ushered Ino to Shikamaru’s room, as it was closest to where they had been, and opened a window before his father’s patience was up. Chouji opened the door smiling sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.
“Sorry Dad, I was in the middle of doing something.” The older Akimichi male eyed his son before taking his shoes off.
“You have company?” Chouza observed Ino’s small shoes in the hall.
“It’s just Ino.” Chouji said then his face brightened with a flush, aw hell again with the blushing. “She is uh-- she was running errands and decided that instead of going home she’d rest here i-in Shikamaru’s room.”
“She came here?” Chouza walked into the house. “To sleep in Shikamaru’s room?”
“Err, no well, my room is, err…” Chouza smiled at his son and pat his back to sit at the table.
“You really are a shy child, Chouji.” Chouza laughed seeing the blush on his son’s face. “But at least you’re loyal, like your dad. It took me years before I was able to tell your mother how much I felt for her.”
“Huh?” Chouji sat and looked at the forgotten meal, relieved it was still somewhat warm and leaned back down to eat. “Err… Ino brought this, do you-” Chouza refused immediately with a soft smile.
“Believe it or not, Momo-Chan was a party girl too in her young age.” He looked up. “I wonder if it’s an Akimichi curse to love such wild women.”
“Love?” Chouji nearly choked.
“Chouji, it’s not respectable to the cook if you choke on her first meal.” Chouza’s face hardened briefly. “And don’t think I’d never noticed. The only time you’d stop eating for the briefest of moments.”
“Was I that obvious?” Chouji looked at the food. It really was tasty, full of Ino’s feelings for him, and that made him happy, but the past is what hurts so much.
“Chouji.” Chouza’s large hand rested on his son’s shoulder. “You’re a gentle-hearted man. Gentle does not mean weak or to be pushed over. As a shinobi you are confident in yourself and your friends, but as a man you aren’t. Believe in yourself more Chouji. Because it’s the man that makes the ninja, not the other way around.”
“Chouji, is that your father I hear?” Ino came out of Shikamaru’s room, her hair now in a loose braid and fully dressed, in clothes she’d store in a scroll.
“Hello, Ino.” Chouza smile and she smiled back.
“I’m sorry, I can’t stay. Tonight I’m visiting the Hyuuga estate and, I’m going to try and… cook again.” She winced at the thought.
“Oh. Okay.” Chouji looked at the girl who merely smiled warmly at him. Chouza smiled softly and looked out the window; this exchange of gazes made him feel like an intruder. Ino nodded and excused herself, but not without one last look at Chouji.

“Ehhh?! Ino cooked?!” TenTen and Sakura sat there agape at the Blonde who came in with the only dish she can successfully make at the moment.
“If you’re going to overreact like that I’ll throw it out!” Ino felt her face burn in embarrassment.
“Maybe it would be best. We really shouldn’t let Hinata eat that.” TenTen pondered out loud. “IT would be bad for the baby.”
“It’s not like it’s laced with poison!” Ino screeched handing the dish to Saiyuri, the oldest maid in the Hyuuga household, and the one closest to the heiress who had yet to make an appearance.
“Please change into your kimono.” Saiyuri encouraged the group and motioned to the uniform they are to wear when they come to the estate for the night.
“These are new!” TenTen observed already getting her obi tied.
“Oh! You’re right!” Ino fluffed her hair from the collar.
“You cannot wear winter kimono in the summer.” Saiyuri said as if pointing out the obvious then went to take the food to the dining area.
“But come on Hinata! It’s not like you’d be two-timing and I’ll be there the whole time.” The voice of Uzumaki Naruto permeated through the paper walls, followed by the thump… Thump…Thump… of their footsteps.
“Of COURSE you’ll be there… you’ll be there in several places!” Hinata fussed at the whining male, her lighter footsteps moving faster.
“Come on! You never know if you’ll like it till you try it”
“Naruto! No!”
“You’re always like this when I suggest something fun! Why don’t you ever want to do what I want? I’d do what you wanted if you ever asked me for anything!”
“How can I ask you for anything?! You’re always running off during the day and sleeping it off at night!”
“I’m training!” Their footsteps stopped. The three females looked at one another, the golden couple was arguing. “You know I’m still trying to be Hokage! I need to at least be a Jounin!”
“It’s your own fault for always disappearing to save the world… or Sas-” Sakura flinched, they all did.
“Don’t say his name! You don’t understand anything about what it is between us!”
“No, only because you seem to be so in love with him, they say his name and a town and you’re gone!” Hinata scoffed and started walking again, slower.
“That’s not true!”
“If you love him so much then why didn’t you marry HIM?!” She hissed.
“I’m done with this conversation. You’re just being hormonal because of the baby.”
Slap!
“Don’t blame this on the baby or my hormones!”
“So you are mad about something.” They heard Naruto sigh.
“If you don’t know I’m not going to tell you.” Hinata sighed also. There was absolute silence.
“Is it because I left?” He was softer, gentler. He was treading thin ice here. “He’s like my brother Hinata.”
“Don’t touch me.” She said weakly. “I have company waiting.”
“Can we talk about this first?”
“I have company waiting Naru-mmpf!” More silence, then the soft tell-tale sound of kissing.
“I just thought you would understand… when you find someone important in the middle of a lonely life… they’re buried here… deep inside here. Everything concerning that person matters to you.”
“I have company Naruto.” She was defeated.
Her feet made the wooden floor creak and she slid open the door to the girl’s room. The married pair was standing there; Hinata slightly blushing, but not completely satisfied, Naruto looking lost at how to make his wife smile before they parted.
“Would you at least consider the shadow clone thing?” He poked her cheek and a slow, but small, smile crept onto her face.
“Pervert.” She pushed him. The blonde grabbed her hand pulled her to him and gave her one last kiss, then whispered in her ear something that made her nod.
“Yo!” Naruto finally greeted the three females before closing the door to let them be.
“Sorry.” Hinata smiled shyly at them.
“I never thought I would see the day when Konoha’s most sickening couple would fight amongst themselves.” Sakura blinked at Hinata, who was becoming more and more like an heiress each time they met.
“They fight all the time.” TenTen said. “Usually over dumb shit too.”
“You’re telling me.” Hinata sat at the table first and the girls clustered around. “Must he eat Ramen every day? Why can’t he put the toilet seat down? And when I get mad it’s always I’m cranky because of the hormones. I mean that could be part of it, but I hate when he goes there first!” Hinata let out a frustrated growl.
“I bet you’re regretting it now?” Ino said. The looks TenTen and Sakura shot her could probably kill a lesser person.
“Regretting what?” Hinata smiled softly.
“Marrying him so quickly, of course!” Ino said her nose up in the air. “I mean you’ve only spent your whole pubescent years idolizing and adoring him. You worshipped the ground he walked on!”
“Yeah, I was pretty bad.” Hinata laughed softly.
“You couldn’t even talk to him without fainting, and you got the nosebleeds if remotely sexy thoughts came to mind.” TenTen passed around Ino’s plate. “This better be good Ino. Saiyuri, if I die you know who did it!”
“Very well.” Saiyuri nodded and left the girls to it.
“You won’t die.” Ino growled at TenTen’s amused look.
“But why would you think I would regret it, Ino?” Hinata took some of Ino’s dish also.
“Surely your hopes were up about what kind of person he was. I mean all you two did was screw around a few times, and then you were married.”
“I don’t regret it.” She smiled. “I knew what kind of man he was. We all knew. Loud, annoying, no natural talent for complex things, he wasn’t even the best looking of the boys we knew back then. But in him… we shared a dark place. Loneliness. He had nothing and could still smile I had it all and pulled back. He was who I wanted to be. Strong, gentle, selfless with a strong sense of duty. When I learned to stand on my shaky legs I was finally able to face him and that made him love me.” She smiled. “Or so I like to think.”
“Aww….” The air was heavy. Ino dumbfounded.
“So sweet.”
“What I think he really loved… were the curves of this body and hated the thought of someone else enjoying it.” Hinata laughed. Just like that they back onto light conversation, mostly teasing at Ino’s expense on her first meal that was fairly good.
            The anger in Hinata’s voice, the annoyance in Naruto’s. There were some raw emotions in that argument that jumped all over the place. Jealousy, sadness, and fear… all feelings that Ino worry about. So many years Hinata loved Naruto. Years spent as she shyly tried to let him know about those feelings and failing over and over.
            Ino hated Hinata for that. Here was this girl, from the richest family in Konoha and she was pining away for the lowest male in their class—in the village, really. As time went on, Hinata became more and more beautiful; she honestly could have been a threat in all the pursuers of Sasuke… shy, quiet, modest, cute, and worked hard; a decent cook and worst of all…rich. And yet, Naruto had poisoned her thoroughly. Hinata went beneath her place in society—kind of how Ino was looking at Chouji; a man theoretically beneath her place in society.
“I think… somewhere, he really did love me, but he was too stupid to realize.” Hinata’s voice cut Ino’s thoughts. “Me too really.”
“Huh?” Ino watched Hinata struggle to sit on a pile of cushions beside her, her growing belly making it harder for her to maneuver. Sakura and TenTen were helping Saiyuri clean up.
“Naruto. The first time… I think was during the chuunin exams. I appeared on his radar then, because at that time was my first time really trying to take my first shaky and unsure steps.” Hinata smiled softly. “We met... before he took on Neji-niisan.”
“Hinata…”
“I never thought I was going beneath myself by loving him. I always felt the opposite way. To the rest of the world I have one face, but my real face is much more horrified if anyone is let in. But Naruto has one face and he shows it to everyone. It’s the curse of being a Shinobi. One face for the world, the other must be hidden.”
“ So-“
“You’re too filthy for someone like Chouji.” Hinata said coldly rubbing her belly. Ino’s heart stopped. “I’m too self-conscious for someone like Naruto. But those men… they love us anyway.”
“Ch-Chouji… he doesn’t…”
“This is not like you Ino… defeating yourself over a man before you’ve really cut loose. Let him hunt you Ino, let him be a man and you… be the woman you know you want to be.”
