Hey, everyone, Halo here! Wow, I didn't expect this much of a response for the first chapter, and in 12 hours no less! What really hurts is that this story has had more reviews than my other story, which has been up for about a month or so. Strange, huh? And this story was one I just had to get off my mind, and I only published it at the insistence of my Beta reader. She got bored, so I typed this up for her and the rest is history. Anyway, I'm going to respond to your reviews now.

To Randomly Random Randomness: Dude, I love the name!

To almost everyone else: As you can see, I'm already writing the next chapter, so rest assured that I'll continue it. Also, pairing will be NaruHina for the simple fact that…. Well, ill just let you read about it.

To everyone who commented on the bloodline: Yeah, I know it's cliché, but Naruto doesn't have Kyuubi, although the seal does hold a massive amount of chakra. Therefore, I had to give him something that was cool, and I always thought that the Byaakugan was better than the Sharingan. I do admit that the trans-dimensional transportation powers of the Mangekyou Sharingan are pretty damn cool, I still liked the Byaakugan. So, I thought about seeing all types of chakra, not just the chakra in a person's body. Then, add on a missing Kyuubi who left a gift and throw in a small child, and BAM you have my story! I may add some other type of power to it later, but not till Naruto is in danger of dying.

I would mention other people by name, but most of you said almost exactly the same things, so this is just easier on me and my poor hands… But anyway, Thanks for the support! I'll do my best to make sure you enjoy this story!

Chapter 2

Hiashi looked at the peaceful face of the sleeping child. It had been a long day for the boy. First, he woke up with different eyes, and then he was told he would be moving from his home and he would be living with complete strangers. On top of that, he had walked for nearly three hours on a tour of the Hyuuga complex. Now, if all this torture wasn't enough, they threw out his orange jumpsuit and forced him to stand stock still for half an hour while they put this thing up next to him, apparently measuring his every proportion. Finally, they gave him a white tee-shirt and a pair of off white, almost cream colored shorts, and escorted him to his room. Being tuckered out from this day's adventures, he instantly fell asleep.

'From what the Sandaime has told me, this child has led a tough life. It's rather obvious in his rambunctious behavior and poor… no, his non-existent manners. However, as he will be living with us, he must learn manners so as not to bring shame on the Hyuuga name. He has a long road ahead of him… I whish him luck.'

"Excuse me, Hiashi-sama."

Hiashi turned to look at the branch family member who was bowing politely to him.

"Yes?"

"The counsel requests your presence immediately."

Hiashi nodded and started walking away. He stopped and turned back to the branch family member.

"Watch the boy until nightfall. If he wakes, take him wherever he needs to go. And if he's hungry, take him to the kitchens and tell the cooks that he has my permission to have whatever he wants."

"Yes, Hiashi-sama"

With that, Hiashi turned and continued his walking. Before he knew it, he was brooding. He wasn't even paying attention to where his feet were taking him. Before long, he found himself in front of the counsel chambers. With a sigh, he reached out and opened the door.

Walking inside, he bowed politely to the assembled Elders. After the formalities were out of the way, one of the counsel members spoke up.

"I am aware that one Uzumaki Naruto has been offered living quarters under your orders. Is this true?"

"Yes, it is."

"Would you care to explain to us why the demon child is living in the Hyuuga compound? Are you aware that his presence here mars the Hyuuga name?"

"Yes, I am aware of that. However, I have been informed by the Hokage-sama that the Kyuubi no Kitsune was never sealed inside the child. This has been confirmed by the Hokage-sama himself. Also, it appears that a Bloodline Limit has awoken in the child. It's appearance and its affects are eerily similar to that of the Byaakugan, and it is believed to hold the same secrets. Therefore, in order to keep the secrets of the Hyuuga secret, I have requested guardianship of the boy."

One counsel member, who distinctly resembled a rat (buck teeth and everything), spoke up. "You are aware that it is impossible to acquire guardianship over the boy. The Sandaime Hokage-sama had long ago emancipated the boy, giving him full citizenship and giving him full rights and privileges of an adult?"

"Yes, I am aware of that. But, in order to keep the Byaakugan exclusively in the Hyuuga family, I wish, with the counsel's permission, to betroth my eldest daughter, Hyuuga Hinata to Uzumaki Naruto."

If the counsel members were surprised, they didn't show it. A vote was taken. In the Hyuuga counsel, votes are taken using beads. A white bead is a vote in favor of the subject, while a black bead is a vote against it. A bowl with two sections is passed around the table, and each member deposits a bead in its respective sides. Whites on one side, blacks on the other. When the bowl reaches the Counsel Leader, he counts the beads and then proclaims the results of the vote. Just like he was doing now.

"Twenty-five votes in favor, Twenty-five votes against the proposition."

In the event of a tie, it is required that the Counsel Leader break the tie. His choice would change the future of the small boy who lay peacefully sleeping in his room, oblivious to the power this man held. The man held a clenched fist over the bowl. Everyone in the room waited, breath held. The man's hand slowly opened, and the bead he held in his hand dropped. It seemed to hang in mid air just long enough for everyone to catch what color it was. The white bead landed amongst its fellow white colored markers with a small clink.

Hiashi let out the breath he had been unconsciously holding. He smiled to himself, knowing that the secrets of the Byaakugan were safe. The Counsel Leader stood.

"The vote has been passed, the deed is done. From this day on, Uzumaki Naruto will be known as Hyuuga Naruto. He shall be given the status and privileges of a Main Branch member. Starting tomorrow, he is to be taught etiquette, poise, and the Jyuuken fighting style. He is to be refined into an honorable and polite Main Branch member. Anything short of perfection will be frowned upon."

The Counsel Leader struck a small gong.

"This meeting is adjourned."

Hiashi smiled and thanked the counsel. Tomorrow would be a long day. Hyuuga Naruto slept peacefully; unaware of what was to come…

To say that Naruto slept well would be a massive understatement. It might have been the feather soft bed he slept in, or the memory foam pillows. It could have been the silk sheets, or the goose-down blankets. It could have been that the sun wasn't shining through rips and tears in his curtain. No, it was that, for the first time in his life, Naruto felt safe. He no longer felt in danger of the villagers breaking into his house in the middle of the night and kidnap him, dragging him away to be tortured. With a yawn and a stretch, Naruto came fully awake. Just as he sat up, there was a small tapping on the door to his new room.

"Excuse the intrusion, Naruto-sama, but I have been requested to wake you."

'Naruto-sama? No-one has ever called me that before…'

The door slid open, and an eleven year old boy stepped into the room. He wore the typical white or cream colored jacket that all Hyuuga seemed to wear, along with black shorts. His right leg was bandaged down past his knee. He had black sandals. His hair was tied into a very loose pony tail. As he was a Hyuuga, he had the supremely pale lavender eyes, but the coldness in them made Naruto cringe.

"My name is Hyuuga Neji. I have been instructed by Hiashi-sama to present you with two things. A letter and a new set of cloths."

The boy held out a brown parcel in one hand and a scroll in the other. Naruto jumped out of bed and ran over to grab them with a small "Thanks, Neji-san!" Naruto ripped open the package haphazardly. He pulled out the cloths and hurriedly got dressed. When he finished, he looked at himself in the mirror.

Naruto did a double take at the image he saw looking back at him. It was like he was a different person. He wore black sandals with a small white Hyuuga insignia on the side. His black pants were neither too tight, nor too loose. He had a small section of white bandages underneath his kunai and shuriken holsters. The black shirt he wore was, much like his pants, neither too loose nor too tight. A small amount of fishnet could be seen around the loose collar and the short sleeves.

He slipped on the pale crème colored jacket. The design was exactly like his old orange and blue, only instead of red swirls, there was the Hyuuga insignia, the burning flames. The majority of the jacket that had been orange before was now a pale crème, while the parts that had been blue were now a grayish color. His new outfit combined with his new eyes definitely made him look like a Hyuuga. The only thing out of place was his shockingly bright blonde hair.

Neji just stood there, looking at him impassively. Life really wasn't fair. This child was proclaimed to be an idiot and a demon, and now was a Main Branch member when the Prodigy of the Hyuuga was a Branch Family member? The coldness once again took his eyes.

When Naruto finally finished ogling at himself, Neji spoke up. "Hiashi-sama had told me to tell you that you are not to attend the academy for the next week. You will be learning etiquette here for that time. After you have reached an acceptable level, you will once again attend the academy. After your days at the academy, you will return here to learn the Jyuuken style. In the mean time, before I escort you to your lessons, you are to read the letter."

Naruto looked up in confusion, before spotting the scroll. He cracked the seal and read it.

Dear Naruto.

Welcome to the Hyuuga family. From this day onwards, your name is no longer Uzumaki Naruto, but will be Hyuuga Naruto. You have been accepted into the Hyuuga family as a Main Branch member. As such, you will act with the honor and courtesy required by your social status. As a Hyuuga, you will be taught etiquette, manners, proper speech, and the basics of politics. Also, you will be instructed in the ways of the Jyuuken. You will continue your courses at the ninja academy after you have reached an acceptable level of poise. You are to dress and act with dignity at all times. You are to conduct yourself as a Hyuuga should. Any breaches of conduct will be dealt with severely. However, you will be granted an allowance of 10,000 ryou (A/N I'm making one ryou equivalent to one yen, which is roughly equivalent to an American penny.) per month. You will receive your first allowance after you complete your etiquette course. Again, I welcome you to the Hyuuga family, and I hope you will enjoy your new life.

Hyuuga Hiashi.

"Come, Naruto-sama. It would not do if you were late to your first lesson."

Naruto looked up. He was trying to digest all this information. Thanks to how hectic yesterday was, he was more than accepting of this news. So, with a grin, he followed Neji to his first lessons.

Hey there, Halo here again. Well, this concludes the second chapter. Yeah,I know, it was kinda short, buti'll upload the next as soon as i can.I'm kinda just making this up as I go, so be prepared for plot holes. Well, till next time!
