YEEY. This idea just popped up in my head, and I HAD to write it.

It's rated M because of swearing, and later on in the story a lemon will might pop up, who knows. Also maybe so rape-ish stuff, but I'll give a warning, and it won't be very detailed.

Anyways, ENJOY :)

"What are you doing on Saturday?" asked Sakura. "I thought we could have a girls' night out, since we've been through so much, and we really need something else than fighting for our lives in a war," said Sakura.

"Yeah… I'm really sorry, I have an important clan meeting. You'll have to go without me," said Hinata with an apologizing look.

"Oh, it's ok. Important clan meeting, eh?" said Sakura.

"Yeah… When dad retires, I'll probably become head of the clan…" said Hinata.

"You don't sound too happy about it?"

"Well… The elders wanted Neji-niisan to be head of the clan, but h-he d…." Hinata stopped before she could finish. Every time she mention Neji's death, she just couldn't get it out.

"You don't have to say it… So you feel that you're not wanted to be head?" asked Sakura.

"Yeah… They'll expect a lot from me… I'm a bit nervous and scared," said Hinata smiling nervously.

"Don't worry, they'll soon know how good you are. You know, during the war, you definitely showed some great skill of a leader. I have a feeling whyyy…" said Sakura brightly. Hinata blushed.

"Because of Naruto-kun, I find myself being able to do incredible stuff, it's like… I'm a new person because of him," said Hinata smiling.

"It's not because of him, it's because of you! He's the inspiration, but in the end, YOU'RE the one transforming right?" said Sakura.

Hinata giggled. "Probably… Hey, I've been wanting to ask this for some time… H-How did it feel for you when Sasuke came back?" asked Hinata.

Sakura blushed brightly.

"E-eh, I…" "I know it when I see someone in love," said Hinata.

"So far I should've guessed… It felt… Amazing. But, I know everything is not back to how it was… But just to know he's back! I'm so happy!" said Sakura sighing.

"I hope that he'll notice how much you love him… I know how it feels to be waiting," said Hinata.

"Let's hope the best for both of us," said Sakura smiling. They both supported each other.

"Yeah."

Hinata entered the clan meeting room with a big lump in her throat. This meeting would be about her.

She sat down on a pillow next to Ko. All the clan members sat in rows, with Hiashi, Hinata's father facing them, and the elders next to him.

"Welcome," said Hiashi. All the clan members, including Hinata, bowed respectfully.

"Today, we will discuss the head of the clan after I retire, my daughter, Hinata," Hiashi said, and nodded with a calming smile to Hinata.

"Originally, it was planned that my nephew, Neji, would take over, but unfortunately, he got killed in the war," he said.

Hinata could see how much he struggled to say it. She saw his pain.

"But, I think it is fair that Hinata will become the new head of the clan, since she is my daughter," said Hiashi. "But, it is not my decision alone," he added and turned to the elders.

"Hiashi-sama, you're right, but I do not think she will fill up all the categories for a leader, but we will agree, on one condition," said one of the elders.

Hinata felt her heart race even more, and she took a strong hold of Ko's hand. Ko squeezed her hand lightly, trying to make her a bit calmer.

"And what might that be?" asked Hiashi. He sounded nervous too.

"She will have to marry the Prince of the land of Tea," said the elders.

What.

Someone seemed a bit shocked, someone happy, and someone didn't even care.

"Arranged marriage is not a part of the clan's laws…" said Hiashi, obviously not happy for what he just heard.

Hinata couldn't believe what the elders just said. Then it hit her. If she wanted to become head of the clan, she'd have to marry someone she didn't love.

Someone she didn't know. Someone who was not the love of her life. Someone who was not Naruto.

She felt her eyes get teary, and soon, they pushed through and streamed down her cheeks. She couldn't even face them.

She looked to the ground, and saw her scared tears hit the wooden floor.

It reminded her of her past. When she lost a battle to Hanabi. Her younger sister. When she was weak, and a disgrace. Now she felt like that again.

She thought of Naruto. He changed her.

She would not give in to the elders.

No way in hell.

She dried her tears, and stood up, something you weren't allowed to do in a clan meeting. It was a sign of going against the elders. Which she did.

"No… No. NO!" she shouted.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at her.

"You might think of me as a disgrace, just because I'm different from everyone else. I used to be weak. But you know? I changed. Why? Because of UZUMAKI NARUTO. I'm strong, confident, and determined because of Naruto-kun. And I… I LOVE HIM! I REFUSE to marry someone I don't love. Fine, I won't be head of the clan. I'd rather be a disgrace to the clan, than being married to someone I don't even know. You know what? I give A FUCK, about what you think of me. The important thing, is what I think about myself. Naruto-kun and Neji-niisan have changed me, and having me getting married to someone I don't love just to become head of the clan, would not please Neji-niisan. He would want me to give it all, do my best, to win Naruto-kun. And I will. Now, if you excuse me, I'll go on a girls' night out with my friends," said Hinata, leaving the clan meeting room, leaving everyone speechless.

So, what do you think? I'll post the new chapter very soon if someone reviews :) I already have ten pages of this story in word, started on Friday. Sometimes I just get an idea, and then I just can't stop writing.
