I don't even know why I'm writing this, all I know is that my wife thought that it would be a good story to tell… Where to start? Ah yes, I guess from the beginning would be good. Well, I come from a wealthy family, but we were also very happy. My father, Minato owned a big company; I guess you can call it like an organization for managers to sign up singers.
My father had built the building from scratch thanks to the help from my mother, Kushina, and his business partner and friend Hiashi Hyuuga and his other friend Orochimaru.
Minato wanted much for this company, though to him, the company wasn't just a place to earn money, to get more clients… but we were a family. It was almost like a pack of lions, he was the king, my mother was his queen, and I was the crowned prince that was to inherit everything. And as for the company, all the workers were like our pride… But, sadly this isn't a warm and fuzzy story for every life, has a darkness that tries to take something from us… This, is my story.
It was late in the evening, the sounds of nurses shoes clicking on the hard floor echoed through the hospital. A blonde haired man was sitting in the waiting room as he rocked a little baby boy in his arms. The baby had small turfs of blonde hair, much his own. When the baby opened his eyes, his eyes revealed to be ocean blue.
The man was here to support his friend while his wife was going through labor.
"Minato, do you think… Hana will be alright?" asked the man as he sat down next to the blonde haired man. He had long dark brown hair pulled back in a low ponytail, his eyes lavender and his skin tan. He wore a simple business suit, showing that he had been working before getting the call of his wife being sent to the hospital due to going into labor.
Minato grinned widely as he said "she will Hiashi. She's tough. You just have to have faith, that's why God gave this job to women." He shifted his son in his arms and gently patted the man's back hoping that would comfort him. Hiashi gave a small smile and sighed softly as he laid back in his seat.
"How's he doing Minato?" asked a woman's voice. Minato looked up and gave a soft smile. The woman had long beautiful red hair and loving brown eyes. She had flawless skin, like she never had a break out once in her life. And Minato was lucky enough to have this woman as his wife. She wore a simple yellow shirt with brown dress overalls. It was a simple outfit, but to him he's never seen a more beautiful woman.
Looking down at his son, he whispered "he's doing alright. Just nervous. Like how I was when you were giving birth to Naruto. He might listen to you Kushina." Kushina smiled a little bit, though he knew why she was upset. It was about what they had to do for Naruto when he was born. Minato still had to talk to his teacher about something important later…
Turning to his friend, Minato smiled as he said "Hiashi… remember that agreement we had when we first started the company?"
"Yeah, made a bet that if one of us had a son and the other had a daughter that we'd have an arranged marriage for them. Why?"
"I'm thinking we go through with it. Ya know, to keep the company strong, since it did take the both of us to build this company."
Hiashi seemed quite, Minato didn't think he would go for it. It made Minato wonder if he would go through with it. Though, it did make sense, since it did take the both of them to make this company, why not have their kids get married? In a sense it would be like a merger even if it wasn't two separate companies. Suddenly, Hiashi nodded as he said "deal. But, if they don't love each other then we cannot force it."
"Agreed."
Minato smiled a bit, if the kids didn't love each other than the wedding will be cancelled. He wasn't going to force them to marry if there was no love in it. Sighing softly, Minato leaned back into his chair as he waited for the nurse to come out to let them know if Hana had the baby. Just thinking about this made him remember when Kushina was having Naruto…
She was screaming, crying and cursing him for doing that to her, not that he couldn't blame Kushina. Though, it was worth just to have Naruto in their lives. Sadly, they had to take drastic measure to save their son… It was horrible that they had to do that to him… Looking down at the now sleeping baby boy in his arms, Minato wondered if he would have a wonderful life.
Kissing Naruto's forehead, he gave his son a tender smile; maybe it would be possible for his son to have a wonderful life so long as it was full of love and joy. If he falls for Hiashi's daughter… than maybe Naruto's life will be full of happiness. That was all they could ever hope for their child. Turning his head, a nurse came out of the doors of the delivery room with a bright smile on her face. "Mr. Hyuuga, would you like to hold your baby daughter?"
Hiashi's eyes were wide though he smiled before pushing himself up from his seat and followed the nurse to the delivery room.
Minato knew that that would be a sweet and tender moment for Hiashi and his wife. Minato pushed himself up and stared at Kushina for a moment. "Can you take Naruto for a moment; I have to return a call for a moment." He kissed his wife quickly before she took their son into her arms. Minato started to walk out of the hospital, wondering if his teacher had managed to get that key ready. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that his son would need it when he was older.
It was just a strange feeling of dread.
Once he was outside of the hospital, Minato reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his cell phone and dialed his teacher's number. The phone just rang… and rang… and rang. He figured that the only reason why he didn't pick it up was that he was writing again, he was doing his 'research' as he so calls it. "Hello?" came a tired reply. Or, he was asleep since it was one in the morning.
"Hey Jiraiya, I was wondering if you had that key I had asked made for me."
"Hm… yeah, I have it ready. But Minato, what makes you think that your son is going to need it? He's only two months old." Said the tired man.
"I know that, but it's just a feeling I have. Besides, it's started from the moment Naruto was born. Everyone from the company came to see how me and Kushina were… Everyone wanted to see the heir to my company but only one person didn't show."
"Orochimaru?"
"Yeah… he was to take the company if me and Kushina, Hiashi and his wife weren't able to have kids. It was part of the agreement. I think he's angry about me having a son." He listened to what his teacher was going to say. Though, Minato had a feeling that he wasn't going to like the answer. But, what could the answer be then? There was no way that it could be anything good.
"I can't say why he didn't show. Maybe he couldn't make it, maybe something came up. It was hard to say. Until you're sure he can be trusted just pretend that you aren't up to something. Just until then." Minato knew that was the best thing they could do. Was just to sit around and play the waiting game. Sighing softly, Minato thanked Jiraiya before hanging up and went back inside.
As he walked, he thought about what Jiraiya had said. Maybe it was for the best that he pretended that nothing was wrong. But, he couldn't help it. The feeling that something will happen in the future kept on nagging him in the back of his mind. Was there something that was going to bring great harm to his son? Narrowing his eyes, Minato was going to do what he could to make sure that Naruto stayed safe.
But, it sounded much harder than it sounded.
When he walked into the room, he saw Hiashi with a little bundle in his arms, showing Kushina and Naruto. He figured that was Hiashi's daughter. "So, what's the little cuties name?" asked Minato.
Hiashi looked up and gave a proud smile as he said "Hinata…" Minato smiled and walked over to his friend and looked down at the little girl. She was sound asleep… though; he knew that she had lavender coloured eyes like her father… everyone in their family got the same coloured eyes. He could also make out a small patch of blue hair…
"She'll be a beauty like her mother." Said Minato with a big smile.
"Yeah… And, your son has taken a liking to her. Look."
When Minato turned his head, he saw that Naruto was staring at Hinata, his blue eyes wide and curious. He held out his little hand out toward her like he wanted to play. Minato chuckled, he could tell that those two will be very good friends, that's for sure.
