A young, raven haired girl was sitting on a bench on the entrance of the village. The wind was blowing vigorously and her hair now reached all the way down her slim back. Over the past few 5 years, she had matured from being a cute clan heiress to a strong, gorgeous woman. Her red and white kimono swayed in the smooth, calm wind as she wondered to herself countless questions. Her age had come to marry a suitable man to carry on her job as the heiress of the Hyuga clan as her father told. But with who? Since her childhood, she had only admired one boy, and as the years passed, her admiration turned into unknown love. She was clueless in what to do and what will happen. Because of her name and grace, many proposals began arriving. Was she ready to give up on her unknown love for the sake of her father's happiness?

An extraordinary breeze began blowing from her left, as she began to see a tall figure appearing from the gate. His hair was blonde and on his cheeks three lines. From the side, guards greeted him as "Hokage-sama" and as they did he grinned back childishly. Hinata's eyes widened as the figure approached her. "Ohayou Hinata! How are you? What are you doing here, on the gate entrance?" Hinata looked up and mumbled as she blushed, "Ohayou . Well—uh you see N-naruto-kun. I was just bored so I thought maybe I could—sit here where the wind is um nice." As always she began twitching her fingers about; a habit she hadn't lost since the day she was in the academy. Naruto chuckled, as he scanned Hinata's dress. Hinata looked really appealing in her red and white kimono for her body had matured as well. Even to Naruto, Hinata had become a very beautiful woman appearance wise, but still in her behaviour she seemed just like the old little girl to him. "Well, I gotta go. See ya later Hinata!" As he ran towards the Hokage tower, Hinata stared solemnly. "I would love to be with you, but even more, I would like to see you smile." With that, Hinata walked off in her own path to her clan house.

Upon the gate she was greeted by Neji Hyuga, the 21 year old, branch house heir. "Ohio, Nii-sama. W-why are you standing outside?" Hinata asked. "Ohio, Hinata-sama. I've been waiting for you. We have some guests inside." Hinata began to sigh as she thought of what it possibly could be, "Another proposal?" She hadn't forgotten the last proposals: The first being a short land lord, the next being a snot nose prince, one being a thirty year old geezer and the last being a selfish, long nosed creep. They were all walking freaks of nature, but obviously Hinata had not the guts to insult them. She didn't even have the guts to say a No. Even Hiashi was surprised by how strange the people looked. "Uh-oh….Nii-sama. This one isn't like that last ones is it?" Neji looked at Hinata's confused face as he replied with a sigh, "Hehe no, no. Actually he is the best. He is pretty good looking, and his occupation is as the leader of a prestigious clan of the water country." Hinata pondered with surprise, "Well I guess I should look." As she entered the house she saw many a dozen of girls rush to her aid as they swooped her up in their arms and rushed her into the changing room. "Uh….what's going on?" Her eyes began to twitch on the what was going on, "I'm so confused."

In another room Hiashi was chatting with the new prince about normal matters. Neji came in to sit down. The prince was a red head, with perfect green eyes. His clothes were of a high praised leader, and his hair was of Kiba length. "Mmm. He is really good looking. I wonder what Uncle will say of him." Neji wondered as he stared calmly at the prince. Inside the worker girls dressed Hinata with countless garments, trying out what looked best. "Wow, my lady you look divine in this dress" "No she looks better in this one" "Are you kidding!? She looks way better in this one." The girls argued over an over again. "Uh-oh Ano. I think any will be fine..thank you." Hinata mumbled, sighing over and over again. "Awe, she is perfect for our great prince!" A black haired worker screamed. "You will love him! He is the kindest man in our village, and he treats us all like we are his family." Hinata began to think, "Is…. he really?"

"Well, our village was in pretty bad state 5 years ago, but thanks to Konoha and their great hokage, we live in peace." The prince commented. Hiashi seemed to have interest in the young prince, for his social skills were that of the kindest. But even the prince was not certain of getting married. He didn't even want to get married, but it was his father, the Water country lord, who insisted on seeing the heiress in person. "May I ask one thing. Isn't their a Mizukage for the water village? Then how come there is a prince and lord as well?" Neji questioned. "Oh well you see, our country was normally ruled by Mizukage, but in time, our people needed more care. Not just in safety, but in food and shelter because of poverty. So our clan began taking over for business and profiting and soon the Mizukage named us the lords of the water village. But even so, we respect our Mizukage more than our status and life." The prince grinned. "Nicely put" Hiashi complimented. "I really think these people are nice and all, but I don't wish to get married so soon. I wonder why father sent me here." The prince wondered to himself.

A worker girl ran out and greeted them all saying "She is ready Hiashi-san." Hiashi stood up along with Neji as he walked out of the room with a polite word, "Well, I will let you alone here. Talk to Hinata in person." The room was empty now and all who was there was the handsome prince. He began to hear footsteps now approaching his way and from the door he saw the young heiress appear. She wore a light blue kimono and her hair was open. She was simply dressed, but even so she looked amazing. The prince began to blush as Hinata sat down on the opposite side of the table. Hinata bowed her head down politely and mumbled, "Um- konichiwa, my name is H-hinata Hyuga." The prince was lost in thoughts for a while when he finally began to grin as he hid his blush and answered, "Uh yah, konichiwa. My name is Hiro Nami." Hiro began to talk about his country when he finally noticed that Hinata was quiet and had her head down through out the whole conversation, "Hinata-san? Um…uh am I boring you?" Hinata looked up and smiled, "Uh, no its nothing like that H-hiro-kun." "Hehe, you seem like a very strong person." Hinata eyes widened at the comment, "What do you mean?" Hiro looked up and grinned, "I don't know, but it seems to me so. I am right aint I?" Hinata began to smile more. "The prince is a very nice man indeed." Hiro began twitching with his chopsticks as he added, "I'll tell you honestly Hinata-san. In the beginning I didn't want to get married but………… I don't mind anymore, now." Hinata began to ponder with questions, "W-why is that Hiro-kun?" Hiro glanced up and grabbed Hinata's hand, "Well, I seem to like you Hinata-san. You are really….pretty." At the comment and feeling against her hand Hinata began to form a slight blush on her cheek. After one hour, the others stepped in, and it was decided by Hiashi, that the Hiro would wed Hinata after one whole month.
