Chapter 1 Formalities and Questions
Hinata dreaded the meeting this morning, she knew that with position came responsibility, and hers was to find a noble husband
willing to except the fact that he would be consort, not head of the household. Her Father had told her of many young men and a few
older, though none older then her Father. And now as she walked down the hall to the meeting room she would find who he had
decided on, this wasn't what worried her. She knew her Father would only choose a good man who wouldn't dominate her, it was the
'how well they would get along physically and mentally' that worried her. After all this is the man she would awake to, and dine with
for years and years to come. Pausing at the door Hinata took a deep breath and turned the nob, as the door opened she saw Neji,
then her Father, and finally... Ebisu.
Hinata tried to let known of her shock show, clasping her hands together so she would fiddle with her fingers in nervousness, she
entered and bowed. She saw the eyes widen in interest and a smile on his face and wondered if he really was 'pervy' like Naruto said.
After years of seeing Jiraiya and Kakashi she had decided a 'little' pervy might be interesting. Hiashi rose and introduced them to each
other, then when everyone was seated he slid a piece of paper over to Hinata, she picked it up and skimmed the document. Ebisu
came from an influential family and the contract seem to benefit both parties generously, Ebisu had already signed it. Hinata looked at
him and smiling she took the pen and sign her own name. The formal engagement of Hinata and Ebisu was legal. Hiashi sighed and
smiled before bowing and announcing that he and Neji would leave them to get better acquainted. Neji bowed to and looked at her
as if to ask, 'is this alright with you?', Hinata smiled and gave a slight nod. Then the two men left. Ebisu silently got up and then sat
closer to Hinata, "Is this really what you want?' Hinata looked up with surprise, then boldly she reached up and took his dark
glasses off and then answered, "Yes... but I do want the chance to know you better before the wedding." Ebisu had lovely deep
black eyes and he smiled, and then asked, "Will you take off the baggy jacket?" She could hear the teasing in his voice, and trying
to see if she was right, she answered, "I will if you take your hi'tate off and let me see your hair." He laughed, "Alright you
first." Hinata slowly unzipped her jacket and let it slide down her arms, then without blinking as he watched her every move he slid
the headband off and took his hair down, the silky black hair gave him a much younger look and Hinata said, "I like it down, are you
happy with what you're going to be stuck with?"She had a sarcastic tone but was shocked when he answered the retorical
question. "You're a very sexy woman Hinata, so why are you marrying an old man like me anyway?"
Hinata feeling much better at this answered, "You think I'm beautiful?" He laughed and then gently stroking her cheek he
answered, "Hinata your face and body put Naruto's sexy jutsu to shame and you're worried I won't want you in my arms for
the next forty years?" Hinata blushed and then she stretched to press a peck against his lips before whispering, "Not any more..."
Of course with the papers signed and the woman lovely Ebisu did what any self respecting pervert would... his hand cupping the back
of her head he pulled her closer and passionately kissed her, his hands skimming her curves to wrap around her waist. "Thank
Kami... because I surely didn't want you to change your mind now."
