Chapter 2: Forbidden

Normal POV

Hinata and Naruto found Sakura a short while later at the training grounds. She and Neji were pummeling, kicking, genjutsuing, ninjutsuing, and taijutsuing each other.

"Sakura," Naruto yelled, "I need to tell you something."

"Just a minute Naruto," Sakura yelled keeping her focus on her opponent, Neji,

PUNCH! THUD! SMACK! KICK! SLAM!

"I'm a wee busy at the moment."

WHACK! BAM! THWACK! CRUNCH! BOOM!

Hinata and Naruto stared on in amazement as Sakura literally beat the crap out of Neji, stopping only when Neji didn't get back up.

"Hey Neji, you okay?" Sakura asked cautiously walking over.

"Hai I'm fine, except that I can't move very well, would you mind helping me up?"

"Sure, just stay still until I finish healing you, okay?"

"Hai"

Sakura knelt down beside Neji and began using her chakra to heal him. Minutes later, Neji got up. He and Sakura then walked over to where Naruto and Hinata were waiting.

"Now, what did you want to tell me?" Sakura asked noticing that Hinata was flushing a brilliant shade of crimson.

Naruto, totally forgetting Neji was there, happily announced,

"Hinata-chan agreed to be my girlfriend."

Neji was frozen where he stood; Naruto had asked Hinata out?

Shaking his head, Neji smirked,

"Finally dobe, we thought you'd never catch on."

'Did everyone but me know of Hinata's crush on me?'

"So, have you told Hiashi-sama yet?"

"I-Iie, I haven't. I-I was going to this evening, b-but I don't really want to."

"Oh yeah, that's right. He still holds Kyuubi against Naruto," Sakura said.

"Hai"

"Hiashi-sama's not going to be too happy with you and Naruto dating. He'll probably forbid you to see him."

"Hai I knowI have to tell him, if I don't and someone else does, it'll just be worse…"

Later, at the Hyuuga Compound

"You're what!" Hiashi snapped, face reddening.

"I-I'm g-going o-out w-with N-Naruto," Hinata sputtered out cringing in fear.

"Iie, absolutely not. I forbid it. You will have no further contact with that demon brat, understood?"

"B-But father, I love him."

"I don't care. If I so much as suspect that you're having any contact with him, I'll personally kill him myself, understood?"

"Hai father," Hinata said through her tears.

"Pathetic, weak," Hiashi said, "Why can't you be more like Hanabi? Get your worthless hide out of my sight," Hiashi spat out.

Hinata fled the room in tears.

'Can I never do anything right in father's eyes? Will I always be the 'weak' one? What will Naruto say? Why me Kami-sama? Oh why does it have to be me?'

Hinata lay on her bed and cried her eyes out. When a servant came to fetch her for dinner, she refused to attend. The servant was surprised, but went away nonetheless.

'If father won't ever let me see Naruto again, then I'll stop eating and die. Maybe then I won't be in his way.'
