A FINE DAY ON KONOHA ( Mostly NaruHina )

32. True happiness

Back to the days where Naruto and Hinata were still newlyweds..

"She's not pregnant, okay.." Sakura sighed, looking the idiot team mate who was worried for nothing and his embarrassed wife beside him. "Or.. she's not pregnant yet.."

"But Sakura-chan, she threw up this morning!" Naruto said.

"That's because I ate too much ramen last night, Naruto-kun.." Hinata blushed.

"Besides, throwing up once doesn't mean you're pregnant, she's still having her usual period and you should try using a pregnancy test first before you came to me, idiot!" Sakura complained.

"I was panic, when she threw up I immediately though that she's pregnant-ttebayo.." Naruto explained.

"Then, does it mean you two have been leading a great night course?" Sakura grinned, elbowing the flustered Hinata.

"Of course we have-ttebayo! We ate dinner together, and watch TV together, and cuddles before we sleep.." Naruto grinned happily.

"That's not the kind of night course I'm talking about, idiot!" Sakura smacked the blonde's head. "But still, I really envy you two.."

"Sasuke-kun hasn't returned, has he?" Hinata asked, feeling bad for showing their happiness in front of Sakura who had been longing for the man she has always loved.

"That idiot! I'll make sure to drag him back here, Sakura-chan!" Naruto got up.

"Don't bother.." Sakura smiled. "This time, he left to find peace in his heart with a promise to return.. I'll just have to keep holding onto that promise.."

"Sakura-chan.."

A few days later, Hinata and Sakura were out to have dessert together, where on their way, they met..

"Sasuke-kun!"

"And Naruto-kun?"

"Hey girls.. I met this gloomy wanderer on my way home after a mission.." Naruto smacked Sasuke's back. "I swear I didn't drag him here, though.."

"I'm here to get more supplies.." Sasuke turned away, avoiding Sakura's teary eyes, upon seeing the man she had been longing.

Hinata turned to Sakura who made a disappointing face, and Naruto who glared at his friend.

"Sasuke-kun! Can I have a word!" Hinata stepped forward to Sasuke.

"Hinata?" Sasuke was startled.

"Come here!" Hinata grabbed Sasuke's cape and pulled him away.

"Wait.. Hinata.. why are you pulling Sasuke with you.." Naruto sniffled. "Didn't you miss me-ttebayo?"

"Sasuke-kun!" Hinata stared at him, angrily. "You didn't show yourself in Naruto and my wedding!"

"I was.."

"And you left Sakura-chan alone, do you know how miserable she was waiting for your return? She could only hold onto your promise and suffering the loneliness waiting for you without any word from you, and now that you've come back, can't you show her how you miss her too? Relieve her from being insecure?" It was a rare sight for the gentle and quite Hinata to get so worked up and talk a lot.

"Sakura knows how my journey is important for me, and I do know for sure that this is none of your business to begin with.." Sasuke coldly replied.

"It does concern me when my friend is in trouble!" Hinata said. "Sakura-chan has been supporting my feelings for Naruto-kun and I want to do the same for her! And I do want to do the same for you, since you are Naruto-kun's precious friend.."
