Where on earth did that woman go?

I have been standing outside Hinata's house for the past 7 minutes ringing her door bell and banging my fists on the door but there is no response.

I found information on her current living arrangements and I came here but she won't answer the damn door! She isn’t answering her phone either. Is she ignoring me?

After talking to Itachi and Naruto yesterday I made the decision that I was going to do everything I can to make up for my past mistakes. The first thing I had to do was go to the office because I had to deal with some pending issues.

I left for the office later that afternoon and was actually surprised and mildly alarmed when I learned that Hinata had left the work early because she hadn't been feeling well. However, I couldn’t go running trying to find her because I still had things to do. She hadn’t come in today so I left and made my way here.  

Feeling my eye twitch at the thought of being ignored I get the sudden idea that maybe I should just break the damn door down.

That won't be a very good idea genius. You're trying to get her to forgive you not get a restraining order. The bothersome voice inside my mind reminds me.

"Tch"

Feeling frustrated, I walk round the back in search of a backdoor and I’m in luck when I find a door but it’s also locked. Damn it!

Just when I am about to give up I remember that Hinata always left the spare key nearby. My eyes rake over the surrounding area and spot a small flowerpot at the foot of the door. I bend over and reach my hand in and breathe a feel relieved when I hear the familiar jiggling of keys. I don't waste time in grabbing the keys and inserting them in to the key whole. When the door clicks open I slowly make my way in and am immediately met with the sweet smell of cinnamon rolls.

Breaking and entering, way to get into her good graces. The voice comes again.

“Hn” I mutter hoping the voice would be quiet already.

The first thing I notice is that it is quiet.

Too quiet…

I move on to the next room which just happens to be the living room but still there is nobody there. It looks like they're not home. Where could they be though?

I'm just about to leave when my eyes catch sight of a wall filled with different pictures on it. My feet move on their own accord and I find myself picking up a picture of Hinata and a baby. Hinata looked beautiful in her lavender dress and her long indigo tresses were down. The smile on her face was radiant as she stared at the camera. Hikaru was still very small but his gummy smile didn’t fail to make my heart thud in my chest and I am once again reminded of how many years of my son’s life I've missed out on.

I put the frame down with a heavy heart and try to focus on the task at hand. I take out my phone and make a call. After waiting a few minutes, the man I asked to locate Hinata, gives tells me her exact location.

With that I make my way out of her house making sure to lock up. I contemplate putting the key back but decide against it in favor of going to make my own copy.

So she's at the Hyuga mansion huh. I wonder what she could possibly be doing there. An anxious feeling erupts in my stomach as I recall what she said to me the other day. She said that her own father did not support her and from what I’ve gathered, they are not on speaking terms.
