Sweet, Innocent Hinata-Chan (COMPLETE!!!!!)

There was almost zero visability which greatly hindered even Neji's Byakugen. The only thing he could see was his teammates in front of him and the fact they were walking on such a steep mountain pass, five inches could mean falling to their deaths. The survival packs on their backs even seemed heavier than they really were. For miles more, there was nothing but snow falling around them as the four Yonnin made their way up the icy mountain pass. Leading the charge was Naruto wearing a black, hooded cloak around his body to fight off the cold. The only thing visible was his blue eyes, straining to see the road in front of them. Following closely behind him the the ankle-deep snow, was Sasuke who was dressed in a beigh hooded cloak with a swaddling cloth wrapped around his mouth in the same fashion as Naruto in front of him. He was cold and tired and they'd been walking for days. When Tsunade said "The Village WELL hidden in the snow", she wasn't fucking joking, was she, he thought bitterly. Following behind him was Shikamaru who was using a lit cigarette to keep his mouth warm, but wore the same, black cloak as the boys in front of him. If anyone had noticed the very irritated look on his face, it would have made the situation a little less tedious. Shikamaru heard a grunt coming from behind him. He turned around only to see Neji, fallen to his knees.

"OI! Sasuke-Kun! Naruto!"

The boys turned around only to see Shikamaru helping Neji along. The Hyuuga boy, while he had amazing strength, wasn't built for the cold. He panted as he felt the Nara boy place his arm around his shoulder and Neji's arm around his shoulder as he was lifted from the deep snow.

"We gotta take a rest...! It's been three days since we left Konoha! Tsunade said that the informant said it was only a day's walk!" Neji groaned.

Sasuke looked at Naruto who'd pulled his hood down, revealing his spiky blonde hair. For a moment, with Naruto's cloak flapping in the wind and his blue eyes hard and focused, he reminded everyone of the famous scrolls they'd seen of the fourth. Naruto walked over to Shikamaru and with some quick maneuvering, loaded Neji onto his back before taking charge. Neji's body was as cold as ice and judging by Neji's breathing, he'd fainted. Naruto grit his teeth as they continued on. He couldn't let the only good family Hinata had left die. They walked for an hour more before coming to an empty cave. Sasuke quickly started a fire and laid out Neji's sleeping bag for him by the fire. Shikamaru quickly undressed Neji, save for his pants and placed him beside the fire, feircely rubbing his chest and arms for circulation. The smartass that he was, he commented,

"I feel so gay."

"Who the hell cares about your sexuality right now? Just keep him warm." Sasuke huffed as he gathered more raw materials for the fire.

Shikamaru huffed, continuing to rub down Neji. Shikamaru had just placed his hands on Neji's stomach when the Hyuuga said,

"Shikamaru..."

Shikamaru quickly looked at Neji's face that seemed to be contorted in pain.

"What's wrong, Neji?"

"Why don't you rub a little lower?"

Naruto entered the cage with six dead rabbits only to see the half-naked Neji unconscious once more, this time, from a large lump on his head.

"I...meant...my....legs..." he strained.

Naruto didn't care, nor, did he want to know what had transpired in the twenty minutes he'd been gone. He was glad to see Neji was awake and also that everyone's bedrolls had been laid beside the fire. Shikamaru sat on his own bedroll with a lit cigarette in his mouth. Sasuke helped skewer the rabbits before roasting them on the fire. Naruto sat down, rubbing his frozen hands and shivering. Neji settled back beneath his own blanket, feeling the cold chill weaken him once more. There was complete silence, save for the crackle of the warm fire, as the rabbits cooked.

"So, did you see any traces of a village?" Shikamaru asked, tapping the ashes of his cigarette into the fire.

Naruto shook his head and sighed.

"None. It's like this damn village doesn't even exist. We followed the informant's directions and everything. We should have BEEN there by now."

The boys remained quiet, all wondering the same thing...What was happening back at Konohakagure while they were gone? It'd been three days since they'd first left. Shikamaru turned on his back, staring up at the ceiling. Had Temari gone back to Suna? Would she be there when he return? He blew smoke into the air and was surprised when it made a heart. He blushed, looking as if he'd eaten something really bad. Goddamn...he was really love sick.

"Howwww...troublesome." he muttered.

"What is?" Neji asked, sitting up to eat the roasted rabbit.

Shikamaru shook his head dismissively.

"Nothing."

Sasuke stared into the fire, wondering about Sakura. She acted as if she didn't want to see him at all, even when they'd bumped into one another at Tsunade's place. Sasuke sighed, turning his head to look at Naruto who was lost in his own though.

"So, hey," he began.

Everyone looked at Sasuke who closed his eyes as if it weren't important.

"Sakura's pregnant."

Shikamaru's jaw dropped. Great, more than anything, Temari would probably want a baby now.

"SERIOUSLY?!" Naruto asked, excitedly.

Sasuke nodded and sat up to finally eat his rabbit.

"Yeah, but she's being all secretive about it."

"So, I guess the Uchiha clan will be restored then. Do you know what she's having?" Neji asked.

Sasuke groaned a little as he took a bite out of the crispy rabbit.

"Knowing my luck, it'll be a girl."

Naruto couldn't help but smirk. Sasuke wanted a girl more than anything. Neji smiled a little and looked up at the ceiling.

"I wonder when TenTen will start having kids. Soon I hope."

"DON'T JINX IT!" Shikamaru yelled.

Everyone looked at the stressed out Nara boy.

"Consider this...What if all the girls got pregnant at the same time? They'd be nothing like Hinata! They'd all evil and fussy and stuff! Even though Naruto had to only deal with it for two months, lucky bastard," he muttered.

Shikamaru laid backwards as he lit another cigarette.

"...Hinata isn't the type to bitch for nine months straight."

"OI! Are you saying our women are gonna be...?!"

Neji, Sasuke and Shikamaru all froze at the thought of what each girl might say if each of them were pregnant...Even the small things would set them off. Imagining their girls pregnant...

~"Ne, Sakura-Chan, I clogged up the sink by mistake."
~"SASUKE-KUN! YOU DID WHAT?!?!?!"~

"TenTen-Chan, you're starting to show a little."
~"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'VE STARTED TO GAIN WEIGHT?!"~

"Temari, I'm going to get some food."
~"SHIKAMARU...GET BACK HERE! STOP RUNNING!"~

The boys all had looks of pure terror on their faces while Naruto went in for his second rabbit, munching happily.

"I don't see what you guys are so nervous for."

"Weren't you scared when Hinata had her baby?" Sasuke huffed.

Naruto sighed, setting down his rabbit.

"Of course I was. I was terrified. I thought our baby might die because for one thing, Hinata hadn't filled out enough in her belly to properly have the baby."

"So...what DID happen that night when Hinata gave birth?"

Naruto closed his eyes, remembering the phenomenon that took place during Hikaru's birth. Everything had happened so fast and he now, he could have sworn he saw Kyuubi surrounding his son as he made his way into the world. Naruto, with shaking hands, remembered supporting Hinata with one hand while gently coaching her through the birthing process. The second he held Hikaru, all of time seemed to stop...

"Naruto?" Shikamaru asked, seeing the distant look on his face.

Naruto looked up with a sigh.

"Depending on how you're feeling, Neji...We're leaving at dawn. We are going to find this damned village and return home."

The boys all agreed as the crawled under the blankets for the night, keeping the fire going. Each boy could only dream about Konoha and the women that awaited them...Shikamaru knew that his proud Temari would greet him with a glare before eventually weakening and crying...when they were alone of course. Neji imaged his ever-playful TenTen pouncing on him like some excited puppy, probably bawling her eyes out, especially the way she acted when he left. Sasuke already knew how he was going to greet Sakura...he was going to raise up her shirt and plant a playful kiss on her belly. He rolled over, his back to everyone to allow himself a small smile, accompanied by a blush. As he drifted off to sleep, Naruto could have sworn he'd heard Sasuke mutter, "Daddy's home, Hikari". Shrugging off, he rolled over, clenching his blanket tightly to him. When he got home, he'd greet his son and then his wife...Of course, the greeting he was going to give Hinata was his own, 'special' greeting to say the least...God, how he wanted to be home.

The next morning, with the fire extinguished and Neji well enough to walk on his own, they continued, fortunate that the blizzard from the previous day had stopped. The sun was bright, but despite that, it was still freezing. As they continued to walk higher into the mountains, Shikamaru voiced his thoughts.

"Oi...Everyone remembers the way back to Konoha, right?"

"Yeah, why?" Naruto inquired, looking over his shoulder.

"Just asking. Because I sure as hell don't."

Shikamaru reached into his pocket to pull out another cigarette. He struck the match on Sasuke's knapsack as the Uchiha boy walked. They were only four hours into the hike when they noticed something up ahead. A young woman was holding on for dear life to the edge of the trail wearing nothing but a thin, light blue kimono.

"HELP ME! AHHHH!!!!"

The boys hurried towards her, Neji jumping forward to grab the girl as she had lost her grip. The beauty looked up at Neji with her dazzling green eyes. Neji blushed as he pulled her back upon the cliff, pulling her against him quickly. He blushed even worse, realizing how...'endowed' she was in the chest area.

"Great save, Neji!" Shikamaru chuckled.

Neji looked down at the girl who was smiling at him. She had short, light brown hair and not to mention those impressive emerald eyes.

"So, you're name is Neji?"

He released the girl when all of his friends got closer. He wasn't sure, but his heart was beating rapidly against his chest. He blamed it on the quick adreneline rush to save the girl. The girl in question looked at the four shinobi, instantly identifying them by their headbands.

"Thank you all! I wouldn't have known what to do if you hadn't helped me!"

She bowed, giving the boys a great glance at her cleavage that threatened to pop out the thin yukata. She pulled her sleeves back upon her shoulders and blushed.

"You must all be from Konohakagure!"

They all looked at the girl and Naruto stepped forward.

"Yeah...are you by any chance from Yukikagure are you?"

She shook her head and smiled.

"No, but Yukika isn't too far from here! Actually, it's the next village over from where mine is! You all are welcome to stay there for a rest if you want!"

"We..." Sasuke began.

"We'd be delighted. Lead the way."

Everyone looked at Neji as the girl took his hand, pulling him to the front with her.

"Anything for you, Neji-Sama!" she giggled.

The boys looked at one another in COMPLETE confusion. Naruto sighed, following Neji and the girl...

"Oi, what's your name, anyway?"

She turned around and smiled at the blonde who instantly felt his heart leap into his throat.

"It's Tenchi! But you can call me Ten-Chan!"

Neji froze, realizing that was his petname for TenTen. He shrugged it off and continued to walk. As the boys walked, they couldn't believe how infatuated with Tench despite the fact he had TenTen at home!

"So, Ten-Chan, what were you doing all the way out here..."

He watched her bosom bounce as she looked up at him.

"...and in such a thin yukata?"

Shikamaru's jaw nearly dropped. He wasn't a pervert, but did he just catch THE Neji Hyuuga looking down this girl's yukata? Granted, her chest was out there for someone of her age, but still...

"Actually, I was sent by my village to come and find you guys!"

"But why send such a young girl...?" Naruto asked, walking on Ten-Chan's other side.

Shikamaru and Sasuke looked at each other in suspicion. Ten-Chan wrapped her arms around the boys on both sides of her and giggled.

"Oh, gosh! Are all Konoha shinobi like this? I'm so flattered, but I'm only seventeen!"

"Seventeen, huh? I know a girl who's seventeen." Naruto smiled.

"DO you now?" she giggled.

As they continued to walk, it was nearly sunset when they finally reached Yukika. It was indeed a small village, but with plenty of friendly people who welcomed them. An elderly man walked over to Tenchi and hugged her happily.

"My dearest Tenchi! We were so worried about you! Ah! You have returned with the Konoha shinobi!"

Naruto nodded with a smile and bowed his head.

"We're sorry to intrude on you like this."

"Papa...! They saved me!" Tenchi smiled.

The man looked more than pleased and invited them all to stay at his inn for a night.

"Papa?" another voice asked.

The Konoha boys were more than surprised to see three more girls standing there by the entrance to the inn. The innkeeper, Tenchi's father, smiled.

"Allow me to introduce my daughters,"

He pointed to the ponytailed bleach-blonde with blue brown eyes, wearing a tight, red kimono that only went to her knees with a black belt keeping it closed.

"This is my eldest daughter, Kuchi, she's nineteen."

He looked at the girl standing beside Kuchi who smiled with a small blush. She had jet-black hair in two short pigtails and blue eyes. She was adorned in a pink kimono.

"This is Atchi, second oldest with being eighteen. You have already met Tenchi, who is seventeen."

He then stood behind the obviously youngest with long, beautiful brown hair and shy, black eyes. She was dressed in a more traditional dark-blue kimono that went all the way down to her feet. She looked up at Shikamaru and when he made eye-contact with her, she quickly looked back down at her feet. How cute, Shikamaru thought.

"And this, with her being sixteen, is Richi. We all run this inn together and take in travelers who are headed to Yukikagure. For saving my daughter, you are more than welcome to stay here for as long as you wish, free of charge!"

Finally, after a long time, a little luck. As they settled in, the boys were all very surprised to see that each of the daughters had been assigned to them. Tenchi to Neji, Kuchi to Sasuke, Richi to Shikamaru, and finally, Atchi to Naruto. The boys definitely knew their luck was turning around. A warm place to stay, a hot meal and baths...and four beautiful women to cater to their every whim...
