"No."
The word hit Naruto and Hinata like a bullet, completely silencing and immobilizing them for a few minutes, sweat dripping from their heads.
Finally, Naruto broke the sharp silence. "What... did you just say?" He spoke, his voice shaking. His eyes trembled as he stared at the Hyuuga's leader, Hiashi who stared back with blank, stoic eyes. Hinata slowly glanced between the two, her body slightly shaking with both disappointment and nervousness.
"You heard me, Kyuubi." Hiashi finally responded, slowly shutting his eyes and clutching his fists. "I refuse to allow someone such as yourself marry into my clan." His voice was just as blank and emotionless as his eyes as he spoke, not an inch of doubt to be found in his tone. "You may have saved our village but the Hyuugas have our set ways." He quickly opened his eyes and stared daggers at Naruto. "You will not be marrying my daughter."
Hinata quickly stood up, clutching her fists and attempting to speak out, determined to change her father's mind. "But father, I-" "Silence, Hinata." He interrupted, shifting his eyes onto her and sharpening his gaze. "That beast will not be marrying you, and that is final."
He slowly stood up and shut his eyes, bowing to the two of them. "Excuse me." He spoke out one final time, his voice more stoic than ever. Hiashi then quietly stepped towards the door, leaving Naruto and Hinata in a painful silence. Hinata fell to the ground, unable to stop a shower of tears quickly streaming from her eyes. "Naruto... Naruto..!" Her voice shook as she spoke, cracking with every other syllable. Naruto rushed over to his would-be fiance, bringing her into a tight hug. "What.. do we do, Naruto?" Hinata slowly said in between sobs, now shaking more than before.
Naruto was silent for a few moments- moments that seemed to pass like decades. He slowly brang his eyes to a close before quickly re-opening them, this time, with more fire in them than ever. "We run." Naruto stated with a slight smirk, a small sense of mirth dancing in his eyes. He stood up and gave her a grin as she stared at him with disbelief. "R-Run? Where to..?" She stuttered, slightly shaking her head before Naruto suddenly placed his hand out in front of her. "Who knows? At the very least, somewhere that isn't here. Now, stand up!" He cheered. "He can't stop us from marrying if he can't find us."
Hesitation flickered in Hinata's eyes for a moment before being engulfed by the flames of Naruto's undying enthusiasm. A smile devoured the frown that had infested her lips just moments before as she took his hand, standing up proudly next to her lover. "You're right." She mumbled with a sense of glee in her tone. "You're right, Naruto!"
"Jaa.." Naruto said, his grin only growing. "Let's go!"
aaa! i havent written anything in FOREVER ;w;' i hope this wasnt that bad... i'll try and update at least once a week! and maybe try and get the next chapter out today or tomorrow because a cliffhanger like that should torment and i was NOT born to torment.
