I do NOT own Naruto

Careful there are some bad language.

I know my Spelling and grammar are not that great. I am doing the best I can so please be patient and understanding with me. Math is my favorite subject and English isn't because I never seem to grasp it very well. I don't write like College student even though its my 3rd year...but you must understand my Major is Biology not English. So please be understanding. If you see any spelling errors please let me know, although I know I have alot of them.

chapter 2

Finally...they were face to face with Kakashi and Uchiha.

Kakashi and the Uchiha boy lowered to acknoledge the presence of the Hyuugas.

"How dare you show up in my house after what you've done to my daughter." Hiashi said this in a calm yet angry voice.

Hiashi was trying his best not to run up to the Uchiha boy and strangle him to death. He knew he had to be civilized.

"You have brought shame to our home...to our name...and my daughter."

Uchiha just stared at the floor. He felt horrible, he also felt shame. He wasn't able to control himself. He acted out of instint, out of passion. He wanted her, she resisted, he hurted her. He was ashame of his actions. He really loves Hinata but he hurted her. He was ashamed.

"Don't you have anything to say? ...Uchiha? Neji growled at Sasuke.

Sasuke's eyes looked up, although his face was still facing down the floor. His eyes didn't show any pride but shame.

Neji started getting mad when he saw his eyes full of shame. 'How dare he come over here and try to make us believe he is sorry. He is doing it on purpose! Well like hell he will get my pity!'

"huh," Kakashi looked at Hiashi and waited until he got his full attention before continuing.

"Kakashi what are you doing here? Do you have any idea what this boy has done?"

"Yes I do. That is the reason I am here. Sasuke asked me come and be the go-between. Since I am his sensei he came to me"

There was a pause. Kakashi sighted and continued "Sasuke knows he did wrong and he wants to amend. He really loves Hinata and I am a witness to that."

By now Hiashi's and Neji's blood is boiling. They are trying their best to stay calm. Hiashi is being able to control his anger. Neji in the other hand is not.

Finally Neji bursts in anger "HE DOESN'T LOVE HINATA! IF HE LOVED HER HE WOULD HAVE NEVER HURT HER!"

Sasuke continues looking down.

Hiashi agrees with Neji, yet tries to stay calm and tells Neji to calm down.

Kakashi looks at Neji, then to Sasuke.

Sasuke can sense Kakashi looking at him and looks up to meet his eyes, then looks down again not being able to sustain the look.

Kakashi starts talking again "Sasuke really loves her. He was so in Love that he committed this foolishness. He couldn't control himself. He is a young and foolish boy that is in Love. When someone is in Love they do many foolish things."

"How-" Hiashi was about to speak when Neji had another of his outburst.

"LOVE! THAT IS NOT LOVE...VIOLENCE IS NOT LOVE. IS THAT HOW YOU SHOW LOVE! DAMN YOU!..."

"NEJI! calm down or else leave!" Hiashi pointed to the door.

Neji seemed to be calming down. Everybody was quiet for a momment when all of the suddenly Neji quickly lanced himself toward Sasuke. "IF THAT WAS LOVE, THEN I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT TRUE LOVE IS!" Sasuke had not been expecting this and Neji's punch took him by surprise. Neji didn't just hit him once. Neji him in his most sensitive area. Sasuke fell to his kneew with so much pain.

Kakashi didn't do anything to stop Neji.

"YOU BASTARD! YOU TOOK HER INNOCENCE," he punched Sasuke in the face "...HER PURITY. WHY? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TAINT HER PURITY? WHY? WHY..." another blow landed on Sasuke's face "...WHY? DID YOU...WHY?"

"NEJI! Leave this room at once!" Hiashi commanded as he opened the door to let Neji out.

Neji looked at Hiashi and couldn't believe it. ' How can he be so cold? If I was in his place I would be torturing Sasuke and giving him a slow death. Hinata...you don't care about her.'

"but..." Neji was about to protest but was cut off by Hiashi's words and body movement.

"Neji, I feel the same but we need to be civilized."

"but.."

"I've had enough of you. Leave or else I will be forced to activate your seal" (Hiashi was in the pose necessary to activate the seal.)

Neji gave a death glare to Sasuke before leaving the room.

As soon as Neji left the room Sasuke got back on his feet. He was aware that Kakashi had known that Neji would attack him and yet, did nothing to stop Neji. He knew he deserved the beating and even more.

Hiashi continued "How is he planning to ammend? He is aware that what he did is something serious that can't just be corrected with an apology?"

"He is aware of that---- Like I said before...Sasuke loves Hinata and he wants to marry Hinata."

(the scene moves away from the room where Hiashi, Kakashi and Sasuke are talking to Hinata' s room. While the meeting is still taking place downstairs Neji is heading towards Hinatas room)

Hinata is now laying in her bed. She is being taken cared for by the female Hyuuga servants.

She silently cries as she remembers what happened. Somebody knocks at her door.

"Hinata, can I come in?"

"Y-Yes"

He opened the door and walks into Hinata's room. He walks toward her and sits on the side of the bed, next to her.

"N-Neji? w-what is g-going on d-downstairs?" Hinata seemed worried since she heard Neji screaming at someone. She was worried that maybe her father and Neji got into a discusion.

"..."

"Neji?"

"...He is here..." Neji's eye looked down "...he wants to talk with your dad. He brought Kakashi as a go-between."

"..."

"..."

"so...h-he is here?" here voice was barely audiable.

Neji sensing fear in Hinata's voice, embraced her and rubbed her back to calm her down.

"Hinata...as long as I am here I will protect you. He will never again lay a finger on you again." Neji's eyes were full of sorrow and determination. There was no way he would let anybody hurt Hinata, he would protect her...always.

"...I-It was my f-fault..."

Neji pulled away from Hinata and looked at her with anger.

"How is this your fault? Tell me!" his voice was calm yet full of anger "No Hinata, it was not your fault. DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT AGAIN!"

Hinata was shocked by Neji's reaction, she looked down.

"I-I was w-weak...I-I w-wasn't able to d-defend m-myse-"

"No Hinata. That doesn't make you guilty. That makes him more guilty because he took advantage of you. He is the ONLY one to blame."

Hinata started crying again as she hugged Neji and her tears got Neji's clothes wet. Neji wanted to cry along with her but he didn't; Hinata needed confort and he had to be strong enough for both of them.

"T-thank you N-neji"

Neji simply nodded. They holded each other for a while without speaking. They were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Hinata open up. There is an important issue we must discuss."

One of the Hyuuga servants opened the door and Hiashi came in. He ordered all the female Hyuuga servants to leave at once.

"Hinata...Neji since you are here already you might as well hear this."

Neji and Hinata listened carefully, quite concern with Hiashi's face and voice. ' An important Isue?' Neji looked straight into Hiashi's eye.

Hiashi for a while stares back into Neji's eyes but then his eyes move toward Hinata.

"Hinata, as you well know that what has happened will bring shame to the Hyuuga family. Don't you?"

Neji gets up quickly with anger and is about to say something when he felt Hinata's hand grab his hand. He turns and looks at Hinata. She gives him a nod to let him know he shouldn't say or do anything. Neji calms down and sits down.

"...As I was saying. To continue having our Honor we have decided to keep this incident quiet. Nobody will never know about it. All the servants that saw this will be ordered not to say anything...They will obey, so there isn't any trouble with them. Although there is another thing necessary to keep our clan's name clean." Hiashi paused for a momment and then continued "Hinata...for the best to our clan you will marry the Uchiha boy."

"WHAT!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know, I know this chapter was really bad but I am trying my best.

What will happen next?

Please leave reviews...If I get a good amount of revies I might continue writing more.

Next chapter:

"He can't just come out here and treat Hinata like a whore!"

"How is he treating her like a whore? He has asked for her hand in marriage. He says he loves her and feels ashame for what he did. He will treat her like a bride. He will give her honor instead of shame. He could have run away after what he did but he didn't. Instead he come and asked forgiveness and for her hand. How then is he treating her like a whore? Tell me...Neji...you better choose your words wisely next time before opening your mouth."

I am planning on Getting Sasuke beat up by Neji (surprise attack). The marriage ceremony will be on the next chapter. Sasuke is going to be in the altar with a black eye, broken nose, broken bones and bruises all over.
