Chapter One: Reviving Hatake

Tsunade couldn't help but frown on what she was hearing. There could be no joke. Hiashi was serious as he showing all the contract, will, and papers in front of her; the almighty hokage of Konohakagure. Hiashi looked impatiently at the woman infront of him who was thinking wisely with her eyebrows almost reaching to each other. She was troubled. she did not know why. It involves one of the best ninjas in Konoha and an heiress in the making. It was a scandal.

"I hate to say, I am more of a leader, ruler than a father. The Hyuga never breaks their contracts, we have our word." Hiashi said, tilting his head to the right, straightening his back and giving out an obvious sigh. Impatient he was, even though he was the one who asked for help.

The Hokage herself looked troubled, she was awkward with the situation. She of all people was not expecting such contract to float in such manner. she glanced at her table that was piled with so many papers scattered and unsigned. Today was not the day she would expect someone like Hiashi Hyuga to barge in her doors. She was a very busy person and everyone in Konoha knows it and this week has been most hell of the month.

"Is he aware of this? Is..Hinata?" Tsunade asked, slowly looking at the man before her and again giving a look unpainted.

Shizune stiffed as Tsunade speaks. Tsunade has never been so against arranged marriages but this one was different. The case was a little more complicated and it does not base on her hands but of the two clans. Obviously the Hyuga wanted it. Tsunade knows why. There are two main reasons why. the Hyuga clan must have been thinking on dispowning Hinata and second is to make Hinabi the heir. But as wise as Tsunade can be, she knew it was a good bargain. Hinata can still be the heiress, the queen...but not of her own clan.

"Hinata is aware that she will be marrying someone the clan had arranged for her but not Hatake" Hiashi said, shifting his orbs again to the papers and scrolls he just had handed the hokage minutes ago.
He did not want to waste his time on this but it was urgent and an opening. His daughters were growing and so was the need of a new uprising clan.

"I understand. I will be borrowing these documents to show Kakash-"
"I don't think he can wait.." Hiashi mocked, glancing on his right side with the silver haired man hanging through the window with his little marroon book on his right hand. He squatted on the base of the rectangular window with his eye on the hokage. His bored eyes waitig for someone to speak. In a snap, he was already walking near the Hokage's table with a scroll on his hand.

"You just came right when we needed you, Hatake Kakashi." Hiashi commented, extending his hand to shaking his as a sign of greeting. Kakashi takes it in only to find himself confused with all the formality.

He did not know he came just right on time. He was usually late but of course, today was the new release of the next volume of the Icha Icha. With the thought of a new book he was thankful of his mask, he sure can feel his cheeks burn with blush and embarrassment.

Kakashi glanced over Tsunade who was handing him papers folded and inserted in a white folder in a neat manner. Opening it, he silently skimmed the letters, words, sentences and stopped. He sure was a fast reader but it seemed like somehting on the subject matter was wrong. Why was there stated a marriage contract? Why was his name written under his father's and why was the Hyuga's name imprinted and signed.

Kakashi bolted his head to Hiashi with his eyes filled with surprise.

"What...Hinata? Hinata-chan? I am to marry her?" Kakashi had never found himself dumbfounded with all the matters on going his world. He was too old for a 17 year on teenage girl who was pathetically inlove with one of his own students. He is 26 and he's her teacher. What could be more inappropriate and improper?

"Sakumo, your father, signed it in his will, I signed it on mine. It was a pact"

"Does Hinata know?" The silver haired asked with a concerned voice -more of a horrified tone- looking at Hiashi and Tsunade.
Why would a loving father risk his own daughter's marriage life to someone she is not fond of?And of all people, to Hatake Kakashi. Second most pervert known in the village?


"Hinata-sama" Neji called, knocking on HInata's plain wooden door. It was not five seconds after when Hinata opened the door revealing the cleanliness of her room arranged neatly. Neji had never felt bored looking at his cousin like this, fresh from shower. Her vanilla scent filled his nose like it was sprayed right under his nostrils. Her hair newly dried and has been combed and her leg-lenght kimono newly ironed. She looked formal, too formal for an everyday appearance.

"Hiashi-sama is summoning you" He said, almost smiling. Her pale eyes complimented her already dark hair and her tinted lips. Of course Neji notices her little efforts on putting powder, lip tints and of course the delicate arrangement of her hair into a bun everytime she's off to the training grounds. He always thought how lucky it was of Naruto that this certain Hyuga heiress really laid eyes on him. Foor some reasons he felt overwhelmed that he was taken as an option in being the betrothed man for Hinata.

"Ah. I see, I will come right after." She said meekly, closing the door behind her and started combing her hair with a wide tooth comb. It was until now that has she noticed that her hair has grown long that it reaches her waist, that she has grown taller and that her chest was a bit bigger. She blushed at the latter realization and composed herself into walking to her father's study.

What was it again that her father would summon her? She really had no idea this time. She began thinking of anything she might have done wrong. had she? She sure attended training even the extra lessons he asked her to take.
Slowly and silently, she walks to the leader's study, finding all the elders, her hokage herself and her once substitute-teacher, Kakashi.

"Good evening" She bows halfly with a smile plastered on her face.

Neji sits beside her with his back lined on the the chair, keeping his proper posture.
'Had I done something too wrong? Are they to disown me?'

"Hinata, we have signed a contract with the Hatake clan. A marriage proposal, of my eldest daughter and Sakumo Hatake's son. We pled allegiance to them in reviving their clan." hiashi said, filled with confidence and pride. What was it he said again?

Contract signing. Marriage proposal. Allegiance. Hatake Kakashi? No, he did not sya anything about Hatake Kakashi, but of his clan.

It sounded so simple as her father say it. Tsunade was looking at Hinata's blank expression and Neji's shocked face.

"pardon me but had I heard it correct father? Am I to marry...Hatake kakashi-sensei?" Her sweet voice filled the room with silence. How was it possible? she made only just conclusions. Her father did not say any name...although it was understandable.
the only Hayate left in the townw as Kakashi. Hiashi nodded. And it was a bit taboo.

"With all due respect Hiashi-sama, Hokage-sama, but do you think their positions as teacher and student won't be good for-

"It would be more appropriate if I would take the responsibility rather than Hinabi, Neji-san." Hinata whispered, trying to mask her shy and nervous voice, looking over at Neji, to her father and to the man almost nine years senior her age. Hiashi smiled slyly, he was proud for once. Hinata took over her responsiblity as the heiress, getting loads from the leader's shoulders. He was relieved, of a fish bone from his lungs. maybe the word was not proud, maybe it also was not happy at all. He was relieved.

Tsunade looked over at Neji's surprised face that was permanently staring at Hinata's porcelain face nailed with her shy smile. Hinata kept showing everyone that smile, that forced smile. Deep in her, like only women can, Tsunade can see Hinata's sad and worried eyes. How could one even force herself to marry a man 9 years older and a teacher that was, and much much much experienced with all the pervertnes the world could have ever known, someone who burries they eyes on the Icha Icha books. she scans now the man beside her, surprised with what the younger student of him just stood up with.

tsunade wanted to smirk, she knew Kakashi. He is perverted and is dirty in mind but he was a prodigy himself. He was controlled his needs, wants and his urges. He may know self discipline. He may be old for her age, but she was assured that Kakashi wouldn't corrupt such innocence if he did not need to. Atleast she was assured of it, he was a teacher after all.

Kakashi eyes Hinata then, scanning her features. He may have always eyed the wide hips Hinata has everytime she walks by him in the streets, and everytime she runs in training her chests rises, her hair sprayed all over her face when she and her teammates swim in the lake...he may have seen her. She was not as transparent after all, but he was sure enough that he was surprised. Hinata may have tha body of a goddess but a mind of a child. She was innocent and reviving a clan is not fit for a clear minded woman. Just how could he make love with her without her fainting or blushing?

Kakashi tilted his head, now looking at Hiashi as the older man clears his throat, obviously wanting some attention, snatching it from the other members of the clan's attention from Hinata.

"We will hold the marriage as soon as possible, less than a month from now. This will enable us to prepare a house outside the manor, a stable living and lifestyle to the both. For the mean time, Hinata will be staying at the main house for preparation and training. You, Hinata, will carry the Hatake clan's name, reviving its existence."

Then everyone felt silent, again looking and eyeing the two main characters of the room. How could it be of such rush?

"Hiashi, isn't it so sudden, less than a month?" Tsunade asked, wanting some tensions to be broken. She trully cared for Hinata, she has always volunteered in hospitals, missions, and even tried applying for ANBU; however the clan disagrees of it since they cannot risk the life of the heiress. Not yet.

Hiashi's attention was caught, he glanced at the hokage and gave her an assured look in his eyes, "Kakashi is not getting any younger. I know he is older years from Hinata's, but reviving the clan is something that takes long life of presistence."

Hinata blushed with the conversation on going between two oldies, she felt as if she was eyes naked by everyone in the room. Everyone knows when clans are being revived, things do happen. They will then be expecting to move fast than normal newly weds do. Kakashi's life is not as secured as the others, Hinata is too young to bear children, and it is not an assurance that what they will be having are boys.

Once again Hinata looked at her sensei, it felt forbidden, she will be married to a man older than her, a man she used to call her teacher, one who taught her techniques and lastly, to a man she had never laid eyes to.
She wondered why, he has the built every man would pray for and a woman would want to touch, he had that hidden features that even if masked looked handsome...having realized he was also staring at her, Hinata shifter her glaze to someone else.

How could it be that her clan agreed into marrying her with her own teacher? Was it not forbidden.


Kakashi walked slowly to the gates with Hinata behind him. His bored, deepset eyes looking intensely on her pale almost white ones. She looked beautiful, young, and innocent. How could one girl as young as 17 even agree to marry as old as he is?
"Kakashi-sensei? Is something bother you?" Hinata asked, her smile never fading.

"You do." He replied, shock was written all over her face. Again it confuses her, why does everything had to do with her today? She was confused. has she done something wrong again?

"Why did you not disagree? Why would you risk your life being with someone as old as me? To your won teacher like me?" He asked, no one could hear them now. They were surprisingly alone, with the guards having their breaks.

"I did it not because of anything else, b-because I wanted to prove something to my father. Make him proud atleast for once. Sensei, is something wrong with t-that?" She asked, she was still the same old Hinata but this time she speaks her heart. Her voice was meek ang gentle, her eyes looking straightly at his older companion and her face flushed with red shades.

"I understand what you're trying to say, but please think it over" He then breaks the silence and leans forward to her side making his hot breath felt on her bare neck, "because we will be putting up a clan. You know...a clan is composed of people of the same blood lineage, think again."
