Dancing, a naruto fanfic

Dancing

Summary: Hiashi and Neji "Dance with Cinderella". Songfic. Don't own Naruto. Hiashi may be OOC, but I truly think he does care, deep inside. Story may not exactly fit song, but let me say it: I. DO. NOT. GIVE. A. RAT'S. ASS.

She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,
Without a care in the world.
And I'm sitting here wearing the weight of the world on my shoulders.
It's been a long day and there's still work to do,

Hiashi Hyuuga watched his eldest in puzzlement, as she seemed to be twirling and prancing for no reason. She had her eyes closed.

"Ahem."

Hinata's eyes snapped open.

"O-oh, F-Father. I-I-I didn't know you were…"

"Hinata, what were you doing?" Hiashi asked quietly.

"Well, the Hyuuga clan is hosting the annual Konoha Ball, remember?"

She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited and I need to practice my dancin'"
"Oh please, daddy, please!"

"Yes…"

"Well, I was…practicing my dancing…"

Hiashi snorted.

"You call that dancing?"

Hinata's face fell.

"Come over here and I'll show you real dancing."

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone.

Hiashi came to a realization as he demonstrated ballroom dancing with his eldest daughter.

She had become a beautiful young woman. While he wasn't looking, his baby had grown up.

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancin'
"Oh please, daddy, please!"

Neji frowned.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I heard right. Are you saying Naruto asked Hinata-sama to the reunion prom and she managed to put off fainting just long enough to accept?"

Kiba nodded.

"Yep."

Neji sighed.

"This is going to end badly."

"Probably," Shino agreed.

"Umm…nii-san?"

Neji glanced up as Hinata poked her head into his room.

"Yes, Hinata-sama?"

"You…heard about Naruto and I, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, can I…ask a favor?"

"Depends on what the favor is. If it's not to kill him the first chance I get, don't bother."

"Actually…would you help me practice dancing?"

Neji smiled.

"I'd be honored."

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

Hiashi and Neji were both trying to keep up their "stolid, emotionless Hyuuga" façade as the Wedding March played and they escorted Hinata down the aisle, both there to give her away. Kiba Inuzuka awaited at the altar, for once looking decent and respectable. Hanabi, Temari, Ino, Sakura, Tenten, and Hana were the maid of honor and bridesmaids, respectively; Naruto and Shino were both best man, with Lee, Shikamaru, Choji, Sasuke, and Gaara as groomsmen. Akamaru was ring-bearer.

They were failing miserably.

Both were crying by the time the "I do's" had been said and the rings exchanged.

At the reception, Naruto had agreed to DJ-everyone was shocked to learn that the blonde had "mad l33t skillz" in that area-when the time came that the two Hyyuga men were simultaneously dreading and looking forward to.

"And now, my friends, it's time for the bride and her father to share a dance. By request of the bride, this will be followed by a dance with her 'big brother'."

Hiashi looked at Hinata with all the paternal love and sorrow a man feels when his daughter gets married. Neji burst into tears, Tenten awkwardly putting an arm around him and patting his back-it was, after all, Neji; and Neji DID NOT cry.

"Hinata…"

"Yes, Otousan?"

Hiashi swallowed the lump in his throat.

"I have never…been more proud of you…than I am today."

Tears began to fall from his eyes and he pulled her close in a tight embrace.

Hinata's face could have outshone the sun.
