I don't own Naruto okay? This story will be a little AU not going along with a lot of part 2.
The Hyuugas and the Uchihas were 2 of the most influential clans in the village Hidden in the Leaves. This power came from their blood line traits, notably the Byakugan and the Sharingan. The heads of these clans, Fugaku Uchiha and Hiashi Hyuuga had always wanted the best for the village and their clans. They knew about each other's abilities; the clans were well known for it. Both clans had planned something to try and combine the power of the Byakugan and Sharingan and the best way to do this was by an arranged marriage. However in the years since the plan was first conceived, there was little luck. Generations of Hyuugas and Uchihas never presented the right opportunity. It was usually occurrences like both boys and both girls in the main households or there was too much of an age gap. Now it was time. Everything was perfect. A Hyuuga girl and Uchiha boy were about the same age.
(Page Break)
Saskue was with Itachi only days before the murder of the Uchiha clan. "Good little brother." Itachi said as he tried to play the role of 'nice older brother'
"Someday I'll be as good as you!" Saskue said hopefully.
"Someday." Itachi said in a distant way. At this their father called to them.
"Saskue let's go! We are going to meet Hinata and her father!" Fugaku Uchiha said as Saskue came running to him.
"We're going today?" Saskue whined. "I was training with Itachi." Fugaku said nothing at this.
"You can train more when we get back." Fugaku said smiling. "How is your fire ball jutsu coming along?"
"Okay I guess… I haven't perfected it just yet." Saskue said looking at his feet. Fugaku just smiled, he had to admire his son's determination to make himself better and more powerful.
"Well change into your formal clothes. You will need to look nice for Hinata." Fugaku said to Saskue.
"Hinata's a girl! Girls have cooties!" Saskue said as he changed out of his play clothes into his formal dress. He didn't really see why he had to, he never talked to Hinata before and frankly from what he heard, her father was scary.
"So?" Fugaku asked. "I doesn't mean a thing. She's a girl and you're a boy, so what? You can still be friends." He said as Saskue came out of his room. "Let's go."
"Okay." Saskue sighed as he took his father's hand. It was a long walk to Saskue from the Uchiha household to the Hyuuga household. Saskue had rarely seen Hinata and wondered what she was like.
Meanwhile Hiashi was preparing the house for the Uchihas to arrive. Hinata was standing in the corner wondering what was going on. Her father made her dress in her best kimono. Hinata looked around at all the hustle and bustle going on.
"Father why is there all this hustle? What is so special?" Hinata asked feebly.
"We are going to make a very important deal with the Uchihas today. It is proper that you wear your formal dress for it." Hiashi said as a knock was heard on the door. "You may enter."
"Hello Hyuuga Hiashi," Fugaku said bowing "I am honored to visit your household."
"As I am to have you as a guest Uchiha Fugaku." Hiashi said. Then he led Fugaku and Saskue to a table and Hiashi poured some tea. "As you know us Hyuugas and Uchihas have planned this for generations."
"Yes but it wasn't until now that it works out." Fugaku said sipping the tea.
"Yes my daughter Hinata will be a lovely wife to your son Saskue." Hiashi said as Hinata and Saskue looked at each other in shock.
"Me marry Hinata?!!!??" Saskue said as Hinata yelled at the exact same time, "Me marry Saskue?!!!??"
"Yes." Hiashi said in a serious manner. At this Saskue and Hinata fell silent as the night. Hiashi had an air of severity that could get anyone quiet when he wanted them to be. "When Hinata turns 16, she and Saskue will marry." Hiashi said but Fugaku interrupted him.
"Are you sure 16 is old enough? If Saskue impregnates Hinata at that time, I don't believe they'd be ready to handle it. Maybe at Hinata's 20th birthday. That way if Saskue and Hinata start of expect a child, they'd be more prepared to handle parenthood. Do you concur?" Fugaku suggested
Hiashi pondered what he was told and it did seem a little better for the Uchiha-Hyuuga child in question to have parents ready for the responsibility. "Okay then, here's the arrangement, on Hinata's 20th birthday, she will marry Saskue. The union of the Uchihas and the Hyuugas will come to pass." Hiashi said as he gave Fugaku a jade pendant with the Hyuuga crest and Fugaku gave Hiashi a jade pendent with the Uchiha crest on it. "These will be the symbols and reminders of the engagement."
Saskue and Hinata stared at their father s in shock at this. They did not expect that this was the deal that their fathers told them about. They were still at the stage of childhood where the opposite sex had cooties. Then Saskue stared at Hinata and Hinata stared at him as if to imagine them married. Hiashi and Fugaku however, didn't notice this, or if they did, didn't seem to care.
"Agreed." Fugaku said as Saskue stared at him. "It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Saskue and Fugaku left with a bow. Saskue, once they were out of the Hyuuga household, started to complain.
"Father! I don't want to marry Hinata! I don't like her all that much." Saskue pouted hoping that he could get them to change their minds.
"Saskue, you heard Hyuuga Hiashi, you won't marry her until you're 20. She'll have blossomed into a beautiful young woman by then. You just wait and see. You could love her like your mother and I do. Love is a mysterious thing son." Fugaku said
"Yeah right." Saskue sassed.
