Hinata Uzumaki

-Hinata's POV-

My name is Hinata Uzumaki. I'm currently 22 turning 23 and happily married to Naruto. Though married, we have rules to obey or we'd be separated. We are used to that now as we had been through it before. We were almost split up when we met as slaves for the Uchiha clan. Sasuke, our master, loved me for my beauty and wanted to have me. We escaped with a friend, Tenten and with the help of Mikoto Uchiha.

The next problem was getting our relationship through to father. He hated Naruto because a demon was sealed inside of him. Naruto left to Suna for answers because father called him a demon. I was told that Sasuke and I were to marry soon and without Naruto, I couldn't get myself out of the mess. When we were about to become and official couple, Naruto showed up and knocked some sense into a few people. Father then allowed us to marry and here we are with rules to follow.

Never mind our past though; there is so much to say about what happened recently. Naruto had become Jounin. He had matured quite a bit since when we first met. I am Chuunin. He is a bit dumb sometimes but that's what I love about him! I was also taught how to seal the Kyubi in case it was ever released. From then on, I went on every mission Naruto went on. It made me happy to be with him.

We shall continue now on our latest story. Enjoy!

-End of POV-

It was a week before Hinata's 23rd birthday and that night was the full moon. Hinata knew that her time had come…to become Head of the Hyuga clan. She knew it was held that that night when the moon was up. She didn't understand why her father chose the night of the full moon as it was sometimes a curse to her. It might've been a tradition as white was a symbolic colour for the clan. For the entire day, Naruto wasn't with her. He was getting himself ready and helping every one with the preparations.

Maids came in to serve Hinata and get her ready when the first ray of sunlight hit Konoha. The maids woke her up and she found herself without her husband. Usually, Naruto stayed in bed until Hinata woke up herself before he did anything except for when he had a mission.

The maids bathed her in a bath of sweet smelling oil. The oil had contained vitamin E to keep her skin as radiant as the sun. Hinata somewhat enjoyed it as she never had to lift a finger. The bath took around two hours to fully cleanse the woman's body. The maids were completely satisfied with their work but they continued to work like bees as there was more to do and not enough time to do it. The next thing was to dress Hinata. She wore a silk white dress underneath to hide her body from the maids. The maids then put the ceremonial kimono on. For what seemed like hours, they fiddled with the kimono, checking to see if it was perfect. By eleven, Hinata's maids started to do her hair. Every strand of her hair was on top of her head. It was in a shape of a distorted triangle. The style of hair was a popular tradition for ancient clans and had been passed on for formal events. This process took three hours of doing as it was hard and some of the maids were new. They carefully placed a traditional Chinese hat which had strands of blue instead of red. (1)

The maids had to decorate Hinata's face with a layer of make-up next. They made Hinata's face whiter than it was before. On her eyes were light blue eye-shadow and her lips were a pale pink. This took another three hours due to many mistakes.

Lastly, they put on the Hyuga cloak on top of the heavy clothing. Their last hour was used to make Hinata look perfect for the special occasion.

While Hinata was getting ready, Hiashi and Naruto did the same. Hiashi prepared himself for the ceremony a couple of hours after Hinata did, while Naruto helped with preparations until eight in the morning. One thing was for sure, this ceremony was going to be big.

After boring hours of doing nothing except wait for his servants to be satisfied, Naruto was finally ready for the ceremony.

---

The ceremony was held in a clearing near the Hyuga compound. The land was owned by the Hyuga clan and was worth quite a bit. Naruto was escorted to the area as he had never been there before. He went by foot with a Hyuga guard in front of him. They walked until there were large gates in front of them. Walls stretched its way to somewhere Naruto didn't know about. The area of the land was very large. He thought of what could be inside until the Hyuga guard concentrated chakra to his palm and slammed the large gate open. He then gestured Naruto to follow.

The area was cleared from trees with well-cared grass replacing the them. Every square centimetre was covered in fresh green grass. It gave a nice scent of freedom to the Hyuga land. Naruto looked at everything there was to see. Seats were placed and a white platform was seen at the front. Hiashi, who was already there, stood on the platform. He saw his father-in-law gestured him to come. Naruto followed Hiashi's orders and walked to him. He stepped up the platform and was then by Hiashi's side.

"Naruto, you do know what will happen?"

"I know, Hinata will become heir and I will too," Naruto answered.

"Yes, you will gain power over the Hyuga clan; however, your power is less than the power given to Hinata as she was born as a Hyuga. Is there anything you don't understand?"

"No Hiashi-san. I understand everything," he said with his infamous grin on his face.

No more words were spoken by the two of them. In the silence, Naruto watched the servants put everything in place. Soon, the rest of the Hyuga clan arrived. Neji, Tenten and Hanabi were seated at the front. It wasn't long before all seats were filled. All the Hyuga members were there to see their new heir. Tsunade was even on the platform to confirm all it all.

As if we were back into the times of prince and princesses, trumpets played to announce the arrival of the new leader. Hinata came in, sitting inside a small carriage. It was driven by the finest driver and horse. A servant opened the door and helped her exit the carriage. It was like a wedding, the Hyuga members stood up and bowed down respectfully. Hinata then began walking down the aisle to the platform. While she walked, she looked up at the moon, hoping nothing bad would happen. Once she arrived, Hiashi spoke.

"Hyuga members, you may sit." They sat. "We will now begin the ceremony."

Half an hour passed and Hiashi was finally ready to hand down his position. He took a necklace off of his neck and placed it in the palm of Hinata's hand. It had a pendant of an owl made of white ivory. It hung on a smooth brown leather string.

"My daughter Hinata, I give you this pendant to symbolise your rank as Head of the Hyuga clan." Hiashi lowered head to his daughter's ear. "It is also your early birthday present." He then turned to Naruto and handed him a smaller size of the pendant with nothing to hang onto. "My son-in-law Naruto, I give you this to symbolise your rank as the husband of the Head." He went to the back of the platform, leaving Naruto and Hinata at the front until Tsunade stepped up.

"I, the 5th Hokage, approves of this. Fellow Hyuga members, bow before your new leader."

Everyone stood up, and bowed. Every one was happy to have a kind leader. Maybe the Branch family could be more carefree because of Hinata. Once they all stood up straight, the Branch family cheered. Tsunade smiled and then left. She had more work to do.

Hinata suddenly turned to Naruto, all excited with a mischievous look in her eyes. "Talking about early birthday present, where's mine?"

"It's a surprise and I'm not giving it to you until it's your birthday."

"Can I pick a present for tonight, for my early birthday present and another to congratulate my position as Head?"

"I guess."

With permission to have an early birthday present, she turned to her father and asked if she and Naruto could go home early. Having no choice, he said yes.

The carriage was parked near the gates. Hinata grabbed Naruto's wrist and pulled him with her.

"Why are we going back home?" Naruto asked, confused.

"For my present of course. Why else would we be going back?"

Naruto got into the carriage while Hinata ordered the driver to take them to the Hyuga compound. She entered and sat next to him, kissing him on the lips. Realising what was going on, he pulled away.

"Now I know what you want but why?"

"I've been waiting for so long for my 23rd birthday. Now that I've been made Head, and it's only days before my birthday, the rule for having children is now weakening. I'm sure you've been waiting for this too, right?"

It was true; he had been waiting for her 23rd birthday. He smirked. "As you wish."

(1) Think of the hat that Empress's wore in the ancient China times.

I'm letting it stop there otherwise it wouldn't really suit some people. Anyway, I'm sorry for the long wait. I couldn't decide what plot to go along with until I found this one as this plot makes more sense. If there are any questions, please ask me. Apart from that, please review!
