Chapter 1

Neji walked through the Hyuuga manor making his way to the meeting room he was called to by his uncle, Hiashi, he walked up to the door seeing another Hyuuga who bowed to him. He blinked and looked at them confused 'that was weird' Neji told himself as he opened the sliding door to the room.

He walked in and saw Hinata there, she smiled kindly to him before turning back to her father, and Neji shook his head and walked beside her and looked at his uncle. "First of all I must say congratulations to Neji" he smiled; Hinata and Neji looked at each other in confusion.

"You are to be the new heir to the Hyuuga clan," Hiashi said proudly knowing his nephew's abilities, were far greater then anyone in the clan and then his power once the curse was removed would be unspeakable.

Neji spoke up, "if you don't mind me asking, uncle, what?" he asked still very confused, Hiashi cleared his throat "Neji you are the strongest of our clan and will bring us all pride" he stopped.

"As I am sure you both know our blood line is very rare and desired by many, when a power as strong as Neji's, he or she is required to take a wife from the clan" he said looking at the two.

Hinata's eyes widened a bit, as if realization to why they were both there hit her straight on, "Neji seeing as Hinata is closest to you in age, you two will be married" he smiled. Hinata just stayed silent looking down at the ground, Neji couldn't believe what was happening.

"So you are saying just because I am strong I am not aloud to chose who I want to marry?" Neji asked angrily. The door behind them slide open, "master Hiashi we have visitors, a woman bowed, "tell them to go away I am in the middle of something important" he ordered.

The sliding door slide over more to reveal Gaara, "Kazekage-sama," Hiashi bowed, "hi Hinata" Sakura said coming from behind Gaara. She went up to her friend and hugged her, "it's been so long" Sakura laughed.

Gaara walked up to Neji and smirked, "so Neji how are you?" he asked, "I've had better" he groaned making Gaara slightly laugh, "Kazekage-sama if you please we were talking about something very important" Hiashi said clearing his throat.

Gaara smirked "oh by all means continue, you have nothing to hide so why not proceed we wont bother you," he smirked grabbing Sakura around the waist and pulling her to the side as they leaned against the wall.

Neji and Hinata turned their attention back to Hiashi, "well so it has been decided you two are to wed" he said sternly, Gaara and Sakura looked at each other with confused looks.

Neji and Hinata bowed and then left the room, Sakura left to go talk to Hinata, Gaara looked at the Hyuuga leader, "if I am not mistaken aren't Neji and Hinata…cousins?" Gaara asked. Hiashi nodded "yes they are but we must keep the powerful Byakugan Neji has received within our clan and no others"

Gaara nodded "I see," he said before leaving; he went out and saw Neji in the court yard, he walked beside him "so your going to be marrying Hinata" Gaara said quietly. Neji's hands formed into fists, "I don't want to marry her" he said without a doubt.

"This has got to be the worst birthday I have ever had" he said angrily, Gaara sighed "Isn't turning 25 supposed to be good?" he asked, "not anymore," Neji retorted.

Gaara sighed, "how about we go get Naruto and Kiba we go get something t drink?" Gaara asked. "YOU BETTER NOT BE DRINKING SAKE GAARA!" they heard Sakura yell, "DAMMIT WOMAN I'LL DRINK WHATEVER I WANT!" Gaara yelled back.

Gaara sighed, "at least you're marring someone who isn't a psychopath" Gaara said shaking his head, Neji lightly laughed, "I HEARD THAT!" Sakura yelled again. "At least you got to chose who you wanted to marry, and I wouldn't be talking 'Mr. How dare you steal my breathing area I will destroy with my sand'" Neji said mimicking Gaara's motions for desert coffin.

Gaara smirked "true, so what do you say?" Gaara asked again, Neji nodded "I need to sit and think for a while anyway" Neji said as they both left the Hyuuga estate.

Sakura glared around the corner, "My husband is such a little, 'I rule the world Sakura, I can do as I please'" Sakura growled, Hinata smiled lightly. "Sakura I'm sure Gaara-sama is very good he can't be that bad, since you have been married for five years" Hinata said quietly.

Sakura nodded, "I do, I really do love him but sometimes that man just makes me want to…" she trailed off making a motion of strangling him. They both laughed, "so Sakura where are Ryoku and Rikou?" Hinata asked as they made their way to the front door.

"At Naruto's house we dropped them off there before we visited…oh that's right you haven't seen them yet, do you want to?" Sakura asked excitedly. Hinata nodded with the same enthusiasm as Sakura, the both made their ways over to Naruto's house.

"Naruto!" Sakura called as they came up seeing him outside with a pink haired girl in his arms and a little red headed boy running around the yard. "Mommy!" he shouted running to Sakura, she smiled and picked him up "Ryoku, this is Hinata she is a good friend of mine" Sakura smiled.

"Hi Miss Hinata" he blushed, "she's pretty mommy" he said, Sakura smiled into her matching green eyes, Hinata smiled "I see he got your eyes Sakura," Sakura nodded "good thing to wouldn't want a little Gaara running around" Sakura laughed.

"But he does look like Gaara doesn't he? I mean except the eyes of course" Sakura smiled as they walked up to Naruto, Sakura handed Ryoku to Hinata and took the pink haired girl. "This is my sweet little Rikou, she's like a little me" Sakura squealed happily, Hinata smiled "but she has Gaara's eye's" Hinata pointed.

"They match well with her hair, it's a lighter pink then your like a pastel and then with pastel green to match" Hinata looked at Ryoku, "and his dark emerald eyes match his dark red hair" Hinata smiled. Sakura nodded, "Oh, Hinata I forgot to ask may we please stay at the Hyuuga estate while we're here?" Sakura asked sheepishly.

"What happened to the Kazekage manor?" Hinata wondered, Sakura smiled awkwardly, "well you see it's really a funny story, see Gaara and I may have accidentally crashed it down" Hinata sweat-dropped.

She sighed, "Of course Sakura you are always welcome," Hinata smiled looking at the four year old in her arms. "So how old is Rikou?" Hinata questioned, looking at the now sleeping girl, "Awesome, how about we go find Ino and Tenten and go out to eat on me" Sakura smiled trying to bring her friends mood up.

Hinata nodded, "that sounds good" Sakura smiled, "bye Naruto!" they waved, Sakura looked at Hinata, "do you think you should have told Naruto about…well you know?" Sakura asked.

Hinata shook her head, "No, Neji-san will tell him, I'm sure I don't want to be the one to tell him" Hinata said sadly, Sakura nodded "I see, well here's Tenten's lets get her and then Ino" Sakura said as they walked up to the door.
