Surprise Engagement
Hinata never thought her father would be treating her so... so nice! Lately, he has been treating her so differently, that it scared her. She wanted to ask him, if he was feeling alright. But every time she tried, he would avoid her and go into his study.
This went on for a week.
Then one evening, he asked her to meet him in his study. He was nervous, she could tell by the way his palms were sweating.
We sat in his study room, for what felt like hours but in reality it had been only a few minutes.
"Please forgive me." He said to me.
"Why? You have done nothing wrong Father." I said a bit confused at his sudden apologize.
"I have treated you horribly, from a very young age. Instead of nurturing you into becoming an even greater heir, I pushed you aside without any care. Your friend Uzumaki; made me realize my mistake." He said his voice firm but wavering.
I was still confused, I still didn't understood why, he would suddenly apologize. But, I nodded and he continued speaking.
"I would like to inform you before he does..." He paused.
"Who, father?" I asked curiously.
"Uchiha Sasuke." He said.
I looked at him confused, Sasuke-san is an acquaintance but what does he have to do with father's strange attitude.
"What about him, Father?" I asked.
"He asked for your hand in marriage...I couldn't say no...I'm sorry Hinata..." He said bowing to me, representing a sincere apology.
I sat there, just staring at his form. Why? Why me? was all I could think.
"Why, couldn't you say no? Father...Answer me, Father!" I screamed and stood up.
"Hinata, sit down and let me explain...I wouldn't have said yes, if it didn't something important." He said.
I sat back down, waiting for an explanation.
"He came to me, about a week and a few days from today, he put everyone in the household in a genjutsu. I couldn't even break it, he appeared in my study and asked for your hand..." He paused.
I sat there and nodded, begging him to continue.
"I refused, but he convinced me that he would plunged everyone's mind into internal darkness and would not be able to be released from the genjutsu...Your sister, would have lost her mind, if I didn't agree...I apologize...I just couldn't risk the whole clan..." He said.
I was in shock...He threaten my family, I did not think Sasuke, would do something like this...I could have lost my sister...
"I understand Father, I...I will speak to Sasuke-san..." I said in a whisper of anger.
I stood and left the his study, in a sprint...
I looked for him, at the memorial site, the newly re-built Uchiha district, and the hospital. The only place left, I could think of was the training grounds. So, I sprinted as fast as I could.
I spotted him, sitting under a tree with Sakura-san and Naruto-kun seated by his left side. They looked exhausted from training but that didn't stop me from punching Sasuke-san.
He rubbed his left cheek, while Sakura-san and Naruto-kun; stared at me in shock.
"What was that for Hinata?" Asked Sakura-san as she tried to help Sasuke stand up.
He rejected her help and stood glaring at me.
"Hinata-chan, why did you punch, Sasuke-teme...I mean I know he isn't such a bright-side person but that doesn't mean you should punch him." Said Naruto-kun as he held me in arms, preventing me from attacking Sasuke-san again.
I stared straight at Sasuke-san.
"Why?! Why, did you do it?" I asked him.
"Because, I don't like sharing." He said.
"Do what, Hinata?" Asked Sakura me.
"I asked her father, for her hand in marriage." He said as he held my hand, and pulled me away from Naruto-kuns arms and pulling me into his.
"Oh, and Dobe, keep your dirty ramen hands off her." He said with his one Sharigan eye active.
Here is the second chapter.
I hope you like this one, I made Hiashi, a bit more caring than usual.
