I don't own anyone from Naruto. And sorry if this story is crappy this is my first Naruto story I've ever written.
Sorry if some of the characters are OOC. It's how they will be in the story. Some characters will have their same personalities. Jin Hyuga belongs to me.

Hinatalover22: Awesome to know you hate her too XD I seem to like ur idea about it being a Gaahina with hints of Sasuhina but who knows who Hinata will be with. Thank you for reviewing! I appreciate it thank you!
Chapter 3 Sasuke's and Naruto's Promise
"F-father. I'm s-sorry f-for not h-having o-one of the s-servants tell y-you where I w-was." Hinata frightfully stuttered out as she bowed to her angry father.
"Hinata please stop stuttering infront of our guest and stand up straight!" Haishi growled in anger at his daughter. Hinata immediately stood up straight and avoided looking her father straight in the eye.
"H-hai, father." Haishi just scoffed at his daughter and glanced at the two Hyuga men in the room.
"Jin take Hinata to her quarters and make sure she is ready for dinner. Neji please tell the servants to prepare dinner for our guest and prepare the guest room for them while your at it."
"Yes, sir." Neji and Jin said at the sametime. Naruto and Sasuke looked at Haishi in a surprised way at he commanded the three. He had greeted them in a way they had thought he wasn't the controlling. Jin escorted Hinata out of the room in silence as Neji followed right behind them glaring at the floor.
"Hyuga-san." Sasuke started, but he was immediately cut off by Haishi.
"Please call me Haishi." Sasuke nodded as Naruto remained quiet for once.
"Haishi-san do you have any special request you would like us to know before we begin our mission in two days?" Haishi glared at the two with his striking pale white eyes. Sasuke remain unaffected by this and stared at him while Naruto began to shake in fear of the head of the Hyuga Clan.
"Indeed I do, warriors of Konoha. My daughter only trust Jin to escort her anywhere. I would appreciate it if you could gain her trust."
"Hai." Naruto and Sasuke answer at the same time. Haishi slightly smile the warriors for a breif moment before he began to lead them to his private studies. Once they entered into his private room, Haishi sat down in the seat behind his desk and motioned the two to sit.
"Please inform me of what your opinions are about my eldest daughter? Since you already had a brief meeting." Hasihi asked as he began to pour himself a cup of sake.
"Your daughter seems nice and sweet." Naruto happily replied as a goofy grin stretched its way across his face, "I can promise you that she is safe with us Haishi-san." Haishi just nodded at Naruto's answer then shifted his eyes to Sasuke wanting to know his answer.
"You boy what did you think of my daughter?" Sasuke just leaned forward and smirked at the elder man.
"She seems weak and defenseless." Those words that flew out of his mouth made Haishi's eye twitch slightly from anger. Naruto gaped at the raven haired man next to him in shock. What had possessed his teammate to tell this man this?
"My daughter is not weak. Innocent and kind hearted, but not weak." His words dripped with hatred as he sneered at the two. "So my nephew Neji told me that you two are the best at what you do. Am I correct?" The two men nodded in agreement. "Hn you better be. I had asked Neji to pick out the two highly trained warriors he would trust to complete this mission. Lady Hokage knows that you will stay with my daughter at Suna for the first two days before returning then you will be sent back later to retrieve my daughter. Understood?"
"Hai Haishi-san. We understand." Sasuke replied nonchalantly while Naruto nodded in agreement.
"Then I leave the safety of my daughter in the palms of your hands. I expect that you will keep her safe."
Enthusiastically jumping out of his chair, Naruto shouted, "You have our promise Haishi-san, believe it." Sasuke just let out a sigh of boredom. The Hyuge man just rubbed his temples from the blondes loudness. A sound of a knocking interrupted Haishi from scowling at Naruto's booming voice.
"Enter." He gruffly ordered. The door slightly opened to reveal Neji.
"Haishi-san dinner is ready. Jin and Hinata-san are waiting for you and the other two to come." He quietly informed before leaving the room as quickly as he came.
Sasuke began shift in his seat due to feel slightly uncomfortable as Haishi lips slightly twitched upwards. "Naruto, Sasuke I would feel am honored if join us for dinner."
"I hate this Jin." Growled the indigo hair beauty as she stomped down the hallway in anger. "Why doesn't father let you just escort me to Suna." The shy stuttering woman sighed in frustration and rubbed her temples. She would never stuttered when her father isn't around. Well technically, she never stutters around Jin and Neji. She pulls the innocent stuttering girl act on him so he could talk the hyuga clan elders to make the position of heiress a much more easier job for her.
"Hime-chan please be greatful that your father actually agreed to the two men Neji considered. Now go get ready for dinner or else your father will be angered, stubborn hime-chan." Jin huffed in frustration as he ran his fingers through his spiky green hair.
"Hai whatever." Hinata muttered as she walked to her room and slammed the door harshly.
"Stubborn brat." Jin muttered to himself as he leaned against the wall to wait for his stubborn hime.
'At least she will be able to see her little boyfriend Gaara.' Jin thought as a smirk came across his face. A few minutes later, Hinata came out of her room dressed in a purple knee length dress, which has long sleeves and the hyuga clan symbol on the right side of her chest.
"Gaara is not my boyfriend." Hinata growled in a low threatening tone as she punched his arm. Jin muttered an ow and playfully poked Hinata's arm.
"I'm sorry Hime-chan. Pwease forgive me." The green haired male begged as he did his infamous puppy eyes.
Letting out a growl of frustration Hinata muttered, "Fine. Let's go already. Father is probably throwing a fit about me for being late." Hinata hooked her arm onto Jin's and began to walk to the dinning room. Jin, who opened the door, entered first followed by Hinata.
"There you two are. Neji I thought you had said Hinata was already here waiting for us?" Haishi stated as he glared at Jin and Neji.
"Sorry for keeping you w-waiting f-father. It wasn't Neji-niisan's f-fault for not k-knowing. I t-told one of the m-maids to tell h-him I was h-here waiting." Hinata apologized as she took her seat next to her father as Neji sat down on the other side his uncle. Jin just smiled away and took the seat next to Neji. Once they were seated, Naruto and Sasuke barely waltzed in casually and bowed to Haishi.
"Please sit boys." The two men just nodded and sat down. Naruto sat across from Neji while Sasuke took a seat across from Hinata.
"Thank you for letting us stay here and have dinner with you. It's an honor, Haishi-san." Sasuke politely stated as he stared at the heiress. Haishi just smiled a small smile while Hinata rolled her eyes and inwardly groan thinking that made her father's ego grow more. Her action went unnotice to everyone but Jin.
"F-father why did y-you hire these t-two men to e-escort me? J-jin had d-done it before. W-why can't he d-do it a-again?" Sasuke looked at the purple hair woman across from him in amazement. She doesn't want them to escort her?
"Hinata you know the danger now that we had agreed and made a public announcement stating your the heiress of the Hyuga clan. Jin is capable enough to protect you but I felt that I should hire men who are more that capable. Your my daughter and the heiress your safety is what matters the most right now." Hinata lips formed a displeasing frown as she looked down at her food avoided eye contact with anyone.
"H-hai." She whispered softly. Sasuke briefly glance at Hinata before looking at his partner.
"You can trust us that we can protect you, believe it!" Naruto said with his famous fox like grin. She looked at Naruto and nodded while giggling slightly.
"See Hinata you don't need me to protect you all the time. I wish I could go with but I am needed here." Jin announced hoping it might make her feel better.
"O-okay. I guess if f-father and N-Neji can t-trust you two then I g-guess I could t-too." Sasuke just rolled his eyes and continued to eat his food. Hinata barely ate anything, before asking to be excuse. Once she was excused, she quickly left the room in silence without looking back.
"Your daughter reminds me of a mouse." Sasuke mused as took a small sip of his tea.
"Yes she has been that way for as long as I can remember. She never stutters around her sister though. I wish I knew why she didn't." Haishi muttered with a slight hint of sadness detected in his voice.
"She has a sister?" Sasuke asked raisng one of his eyebrows.
"Yes but Hanabi left to attend a school in Suna. Hinata had requested to visit her sister."
"So you're telling me we are escorting your daughter to Suna just so she can visit her sister?" Haishi just nodded in agreement.
"Man all this time I thought we were escorting her to Suna for an arrange marriage, believe it." Naruto laughed. The four men just looked at the blonde weirdly, well Haishi slightly glared at him for making such assumptions.
"Are you two really that dumb?" Jin scoffed. Haishi chuckled slightly at Jin's statement.
"Please excuse me." Neji said as he abruptly stood up and left the room. Haishi stood angrily and banged his hands onto the table harshly.
"Hinata's live life is none of your business, Naruto and Sasuke. Please excuse me I must go back to my office. If you need anything Jin will help you." with that said Haishi walked out the dinning room leaving the three men alone.
"Hey you guys surely did piss off Haish." Jin laughed out loud as he held his stomach.
"Yeah we did huh?" Naruto said as he began to laugh along with Jin.
"Dobe stop laughing." Sasuke growled at the blonde. Naruto just ignored him and continued to laugh with Jin. Sasuke rolled his eyes and left the room. He began to walk through the hallways. After a while he exited to the backyard of the mansion which turned out to be a huge garden.
"H-hello Uchiha-san. It's s-such a s-surprise to see you out h-here." Sasuke turned around to only see the Hyuga heiress staring at him with her pale lavender tinted eyes.
"Hello the Hyuga-san. Shouldn't you be inside in your room resting?" Hinata just looked down at the floor blushing in embarrassment.
"H-hai, but it's such a b-beautiful night. Shouldn't y-you be resting f-for your m-mission?" Sasuke smirked at the Hyuga heiress in amusement.
"Touché Hyuga-san."
"P-please just call me Hinata. Hyuga-san m-makes me feel o-old and I'm not o-one of t-those old g-geezers w-we call the clan e-elders." She angrily said as she put her hands on her hips. Sasuke couldn't help but to chuckle at the Hyuga heiress.
"Well if you are telling me to just address you as Hinata. The. You must address me as Sasuke not Uchiha-san. Do we got a deal?" Sasuke said as he held out his hand. Hinata looked at Sasuke's hand then at him. She hesiated before shaking his hand.
"D-deal. So S-sasuke are we f-friends then?" Sasuke looked bewilderingly at the girl.
"Uh sure I guess. Though I hardly doubt we'll see each other again after the mission." He said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh." She whispered as she looked down at the floor sadly. Sasuke saw this and inwardly sighed.
"Come on its time for you to go inside."
"H-hai." Sasuke followed Hinata back into the mansion. "Sasuke d-do you w-want me to show y-you where your room i-is?"
"Hn sure." Hinata looked up at the dark hair man and smiled warmly at him, which made his heart skip a beat. She, to much of his dislike, turned away and began to lead him to his room. Sasuke just smiled at the shy heiress as she kept walking. She stopped at his guest room and looked at him.
"Ah well good night Sasuke." Hinata whispered softly as she smiled at him. As she left, Sasuke stood at the door to his room shocked that the heiress didn't stutter.
"Night Hinata." Sasuke finally said with a smile on his face as he entered his room to sleep.
Couples are not decided yet. I would love to make this a Sasuhina or a Gaahina, but I don't know which one yet it depends. As much as I hate Sakura, no offense, she will make an appearance later in the story along with a few others. Please Review I hope to get an opinion on the story and who the couples should be.
