Summery: Naruto has just arrived back home after his 2 and ½ year training with Jiraiya and is excited to see all of his old friends, expecting to get a well deserved rest. But all is not well in paradise. Kohona is at the brink of war with the Tsuchi no Kuni (Earth Country). Everyone is on the alert and is extremely suspicious of almost everyone. What happens when the Tsuchi no Kuni says that the only way to a truce is the eldest Hyuuga heir's hand in marriage?

Chapter 3 – Secrets Unwillingly Told
The deafening silence was interrupted by a knock on the door. A man stuck his head into the room.
"Hokage-sama," he said, in a shaky voice. "Is everything alright in here?"
"Hai, everything's fine," Tsunade said, rubbing her temples.
"Good," the man said, sighing in relief, his voice no longer shaky. "If it is alright with you, Hokage-sama, Takahiro Yukio is here. He wishes to see you, if you will see him."
"Hai, hai," Tsunade muttered. "Send him in." The man nodded and shut the door behind him.
"Naruto, get up," Tsunade muttered. Naruto silently did as he was told. "Kishu, Mamoru, Ronin, keep to the shadows."
"Hai, Hokage-sama." Three puffs of smoke later, the door opened to reveal a group of eight shinobi surrounding a single being.
"Takahiro…Yukio…?" Shizune looked at Tsunade in confusion.
"Yes, here," said a high, squeaking, just plain geeky voice. "Move aside." The front two ninja moved aside to reveal the Takahiro heir.
He was, to put it bluntly,-geeky. His auburn hair was slick to the sides and sticking out slightly. He wore large round glasses and had two large upper buck teeth that stuck out over his bottom lip. His face was covered in acme and his nose was a little too large for his face. He wore the robes of a high class noble but his robes were extremely large for his scrawny figure. You could tell by his appearance (not including the fact he had eight others to protect him) he was not ninja material.
He stepped forward, taking in the room around him.
"Welcome Takahiro-san," Tsunade said. "I am-"
"Yes, yes, you're the Hokage," Yukio said impatiently, looking at the closest shelves of books and scrolls. Behind him, Shizune was holding back Tsunade and Naruto was fuming. He felt his blood boil, taking in the boy's appearance. Yukio had an 'I'm-better-than-you-and-I-can-do-whatever-I-want' air about him.
Hinata deserves better than this dork, Naruto thought angrily, watching the heir looking at the bookshelf. He felt an annoyed aura behind him. Turning, she saw Kaiya giving him a disproving glare, as if she knew what he had just thought.
Kaiya shook her head and stepped forward. Yukio turned to face her.
"Welcome Takahiro-san," Kaiya said, bowing.
"San? You will address Takahiro-SAMA."
"Moushiwake arimasen (an extremely formal apology) Takahiro-san," Kaiya said, bowing again. "But that suffix is reserved for the Hokage and my charge."
"Ah, you must be the guard I've heard so much about," Yukio said, sticking his nose in the air. "When Hinata-chan and I are married, you will be coming with us?"
"If Hinata-sama wishes it," Kaiya said, still bowing. "Do you wish me to take you to the Hyuuga complex?"
"No. I will be going to my hotel room. It has been a long day. Tell Hinata-chan I will see her at lunch tomorrow."
"It will be done Takahiro-san."
"SAMA. Good. Oyasuminasai.(Good Night)" The heir snapped his fingers and his shinobi guards surrounded him again, moving out of the room in a tight group.
"He's…interesting," Shizune said, breaking the silence and looking at Tsunade.
"Interesting!?!? He's a freaking duffous!" Naruto shouted. "And you!" He turned to face Kaiya. "How can you speak to him like that?!?"
"He diserves respect," Kaiya said simply. "He is the Takahiro heir after all." She turned to Tsunade. "Hokage-sama, is there anything you need? I need to get ready for tonight."
"What's tonight?" Naruto asked. "It's not the wedding is it?" Naruto began to panic. "What am I going to do?!"
"Naruto," Shizune said.
"It is the wedding isn't it?"
"Naruto," said the Michi brothers.
"What…what am I going to do? The wedding's tonight!"
"Naruto," Tsunade growled.
"Hinata's getting married tonight!"
"Uzumaki-san," Kaiya said gently, reaching for Naruto's shoulder. Naruto, ignoring the hand, began running around the office, hyper venerating on the fact that Hinata was getting married.
Kaiya sighed. Reaching into her sleeve, she pulled out a rope and began to perform handsigns. She held the last Mi sign.
"Shibaru!" (Bind!) (A/n: yes I have finally found the Japanese word for bind) the rope sprung to life and tied Naruto in the same ridiculous hog tied position but this time he was gagged.
"Uzumaki-san," Kaiya said slowly. "Hinata-sama is not getting married tonight." Naruto's face visibly relaxed. "Hinata-sama is having something called a 'slumber party'. I was asked to help set up. Now, I'm going to let you go. Do you promise to relax?" Naruto nodded.
"Can't you leave him like that?" Tsunade asked. Kaiya laughed.
"I'm afraid not, Hokage-sama. I need to keep this with me. It is the only binding interment I own."
Kaiya released Naruto. She bowed to Tsunade and began to leave the room. She paused, turning to face Naruto.
"Uzumaki-san, you are invited to Neji-sama's party. I almost forgot. Neji-sama hopes very much you will be able to attend."
"Where is it?"
"The Hyuuga complex. I hope to see you there as well."
"You'll be there too? I thought you would be at Hinata's party."
"I will be. Hinata-sama's party is also at the Hyuuga complex." Naruto's eyes brightened.
"I'll be there. Believe it!" Naruto gave his trademark smile and jumped out the window. Kaiya watched him go.
"He must be excited about Neji-sama's party," Kaiya said, smiling.
More like excited to see Hinata in her pajamas, Tsunade thought. I hope Kaiya's on her toes. Naruto + sugar + raging hormones = trouble. Tsunade looked over at Kaiya, who was smiling.
I might as well enjoy myself tonight, Kaiya thought, never dropping her smile. Dark and dangerous times are underway.
Several hours later, darkness had fallen and Naruto arrived at the Hyuuga mansion.
"Hey Neji! Good to see you."
"You too Naruto. Glad you could make it. Please come in." Neji stepped aside to allow access into the room.
"Naruto, you have returned!!"
"Hey Lee." Lee bounded over to Naruto and began to wring his hand wildly, blabbing on about the flames of youth and how they were going to need to have a rousing spar. Looking around, Naruto saw the other boys had already arrived.
Choji and Shikamaru were sitting near the food table. While Choji was eating the food, Shikamaru was merely leaning back in his chair, his closed eyes facing the ceiling. Kiba and Shino were together on the left side of the room, talking….well, Kiba was talking Shino was 'listening'. Next to them the Michi brothers were busy setting up a TV with lots of different colored cords.
"Um…what are the doppelgangers doing?" Naruto asked. The Michi boys glared at Naruto as perverted grins flickered throughout the room.
"There's a video camera in Hinata's room," Kiba said, his grin like a dog in heat. "We get to see everything that goes on at Hinata's party."
"Everything?"
"Everything." Images flashed through Naruto's mind of what he might see.
"Save the nose bleeds for later," laughed Choji. "Believe me, you are going to need a blood replenisher by the end of the night."
"Why?" Naruto asked, wiping the blood from his nose.
"It gets hot, during truth or dare," Kiba replied grinning. "We all almost had to go to the hospital last year."
"How did Kaiya not find out?"
"She wasn't there."
"Nee-chan was on guard duty last year," Mamoru said, still working on the wires. "This is her first slumber party."
"She will be very nervous," Kishu said, attaching his last wire.
"I bet she will never change," Shino said. "She will know she's being watched."
"No!" Lee shouted. "Her Flames of Youth will burn brightly as the Youthful party progresses." (Voice: ok, I don't really pay attention to Lee so if that doesn't sound like him, I'm sorry.)
"Translation: Sakura and Ino will make her change because when it comes to that kind of thing, they are more vicious than venomous snakes," said Neji. "She'll have to change."
"And Truth or Dare. Do you think they'll repeat last year?" Kiba asked eagerly.
"What happened last year?" Naruto asked, watching as the TV screen began to focous on a picture.
"Temari and TenTen made out. I was pitching a tent without the camping!"
"Shhh!! It's starting…" The boys gathered around to the TV, staring at the screen. Choji even had popcorn in his hands, eating it without looking at it.
"Ok, is everyone here?" Temari asked, standing by Ino.
"I think so," Ino said, looking around and counting heads.
"Hey, where's Nee-san?" Mamoru asked.
"Hey, where is Kaiya?" TenTen asked, looking around the room.
"Found her!" Sakura said happily, pulling Kaiya into the room. "I found her going toward Neji's room."
"I was just going to check on my brothers," Kaiya shrugged. The boys laughed as the Michi brothers turned red with embarrassment.
"They're big boys now," Sakura said, shaking a finger at Kaiya. "You don't need to babysit them."
"You can't be too sure," Kaiya said darkly. This made the boys blush even more. "They could be watching us…" The entire group of boys went pale.
"Yea right," said Ino. "If they were watching, we would know." The boys sighed in relief.
"If you say so," Kaiya said shrugging.
"So, who wants to start truth or dare?" TenTen asked.
"Truth or what?"
"Truth or dare," Hinata said. "It's a game. You have to choose truth or dare. If you pick truth, you have to answer a question truthfully. If you pick dare, you have to do what the person who asked you truth or dare says."
"Is that all?"
"Well, no, not exactly. If you don't tell the truth or if you don't do the dare, you have to do a punishment much worse then the true or the dare."
"And most of the punishments involve us," Kiba whispered to Naruto.
"Ok…" Kaiya said uncertainly. "How do we play?"
"First we sit in circle," Ino instructed. "Then we spin the bottle. Whoever it lands on is asked truth or dare." The girls sat in a circle and Hinata grabbed a bottle from a bag on the floor.
"Shizune gave me one of Tsunade-sama's empty sake bottles. They don't break very easily." She placed it on the floor and spun it. "Now before we hooked each other to a lie-detector to see if you were telling the truth, but since Kaiya-chan is here, we don't need one."
"Why?" TenTen asked. Hinata hesitated and looked at Kaiya.
"It's a secret," Kaiya said, winking. "I'll hook myself up to the lie-detector so you know I'm not lying." Hinata handed her a small sticker that Kaiya put on her neck. "Ok," Kaiya said smiling. "Let's begin." The boys cheered and Kaiya looked around. "Did you hear that?"
"It was the boys," Temari said smiling. "They must be watching sports or something."
"GO TEAM!!!!" the boys cried in unison.
"See?" Kaiya didn't look convinced but nodded.
Hinata smiled and spun the bottle.
"Spin, spin, spin," Naruto heard Kiba whisper. The bottle spun with great speeds and landed on Ino.
"Ino, truth or dare?"
"Truth," Ino said happily. Hinata looked at Kaiya who nodded. She folded herself into the lotus position and closed her eyes, breathing deeply.
"Ready?" Hinata asked. Kaiya nodded and opened her eyes, staring at Ino. Her eyes flashed gold and Ino jerked a little.
"Ready." Hinata smiled.
"Ino, do you really take flowers from your families flower shop and pin them on Choji's door saying they are from Ayame?"
"No!" Kaiya raised an eye brow and her eyes flashed gold again.
"Tell the truth Ino," she said, smirking.
"Fine, yes I did." The girls squealed and, surprisingly, Kaiya covered her ears.
"Warn me next time you do that, 'k?"
"Poor nee-chan," the Michi brothers said together, shaking their heads.
"Ok, Ino your turn to spin," Hinata said happily as Kaiya relaxed out of the lotus position, cleaning out her ears. The bottle spun again and so did Kiba's chant of "Spin, spin, spin…" The bottle landed on Temari.
"Truth or Dare?"
"Bring on the dare!" Temari said happily. Ino smirked.
"I dare you to…fight Kaiya." Hinata gasped and paled while Kaiya lifted her eyebrow. The Michi brothers paled as well.
"I-Ino-chan, I don't think that's a good idea."
"It's just a little spar," Ino reassured.
"But…"
"Its fine Hinata," Temari said, standing up. "What do you say, Kaiya?" Kaiya sighed and stood up.
"Very well, I will fight."
"B-But Kaiya-chan…"
"It's alright Hinata-sama," Kaiya said smiling. "I won't hurt her."
"But-"
"Alright to the training grounds!!!" Sakura said excitedly.
"I'll get the boys," TenTen said, they'll want to see this. The boys gulped and quickly hide the TV as someone knocked on the door. "Come on, there's going to be a battle."
"Who's fighting who?" Kiba asked.
"Temari verses Kaiya."
"This should be interesting," Shino said slowly. "Has anyone seen Kaiya-san fight?"
"No," Neji said, equally as slowly. "She's always trained by herself, no one knows her strengths or weaknesses or signature jutsus or anything."
"Guess well find out n-"
"Wonderful!! A spar of that will make the flames of youth burn bright!"
"Lee, shut up," TenTen muttered as they walked out to the training field.
By the time they got to the training grounds, Kaiya and Temari were already facing each other.
"You can use your fan Temari," Kaiya said calmly. "I'm interested to see your moves with it."
"AGAINST you?"
"Yea," Kaiya said smiling. "What better way to observe a person's style then by fighting them?"
"Typical nee-san," the Michi brothers sighed, shaking their heads. "She is going to be in so much trouble with-"
"You obviously won't tell him then," Kaiya snapped. Her eyes flashed red and the brothers went pale. They nodded hurriedly and stood some distance back from the field.
Temari and Kaiya faced each other. Temari had her fan closed in her hand and Kaiya stood in the darkness, no weapon seen. She didn't even have her hands up her sleeves. She just stood there. Shikamaru, who was playing referee, looked between the two.
"Ok, begin." Temari opened her fan, relasing a large blast of wind, throwing debris across the training field. Kaiya just smiled and the debris flew passed her. However, dust soon concealed her. The Michi brothers gulped as a large beam of light emerged out of the smoke, clearing it away. Kaiya stood exactly were she was standing before, a smile on her face. She formed hand signs so fast that no one could read them.
"Kokoro no pa ji no jutsu! (Mind Purge Jutsu!)" Kaiya shouted and her brother gasped and ran for the house. A great amber creature erupted from Kaiya's hands and surrounded Temari, who gasped and fell forward. Beside Naruto, Hinata gasped and her hands flew to her mouth.
A few minutes passed. Then the great shape flew from Temari's body back to Kaiya who grunted in pain, falling to her knees, clutching her stomach.
"I did not need to see that," she muttered before standing. Shikamaru looked between the two before, saying, his voice a little shaky:
"The winner is Michi Kaiya." Kaiya nodded and walked over to Temari, who started to stir.
"I'm sorry," Kaiya muttered to her, holding out a hand. Temari smiled and took Kaiya's hand. Hinata sighed in relief and walked over to Kaiya, who was swaying slightly.
"I'm hungry," Kaiya said after Hinata asked how she was. "Can we eat?" Hinata laughed and nodded, leading the girls back to her room. The boys looked at each other before grabbing the Michi brothers.
"Ok, spill!" Kiba barked. "What is the deal with Kaiya?"
"We are forbidden to tell!" the brothers cried in unison. Kiba looked at Neji, who nodded.
"Then I guess we will have to force it out of you." The brothers gulped.
"Ok, our turn to spin Temari," Sakura said. Temari spun the bottle that landed on Kaiya.
"Kaiya, truth or dare?"
"Dare," Kaiya said confidently.
"Ok, I dare you to empty out your sleeves," Temari said smiling. Kaiya blinked.
"Empty out my sleeves?"
"Yea, I want to see what's in there." Kaiya shrugged and began to pull an assortment of items. Hiromasa, still in its scabbard, the rope she had used to tie up Naruto, some smelling salts, several different kinds of weapons, a few tags, some money, a camera, some pictures and several thousand scrolls.
"Wow…" Temari said quietly. "Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"
"Um…I didn't say truth…um…" She looked at Hinata. "Can she Hinata-sama?" Hinata fidgeted a little bit.
"I guess. It's really up to you and they will find out sooner of later." Kaiya nodded and looked at Temari.
"Ask away."
"Ok, you have all of these scrolls…why?"
"If one is to defeat her enemy, one must now her enemy. I also used them to see if there is anyone dangerous by my charge, such as Hinata-sama."
"Ok…"
"Do you have a scroll on yourself?" TenTen asked, interested.
"I do."
"Can we see it?" Ino asked eagerly.
"Um…I suppose." Reaching down her shirt, she grabbed a scroll as the other girls began looking through the pile of scrolls. "Um…its right here. I don't keep it in my sleeve, to risky." The girls all laughed, embarrassed and Kaiya passed the scroll to Ino.
Ino opened the scroll and her eyes widened. "Impossible…" Temari looked over Ino's shoulder and read the scroll. Her eyes also widened. TenTen snatched the paper away from Ino and read it.
"No way…" She looked at Kaiya. "Is this all true?"
"Yes." Sakura looked over TenTen's shoulder then snatched the scroll away from TenTen and her eyes widened over time as she read out loud.
" 'Michi Kaiya, age: 15, sex: female, birthday: January 1, blood type: AB, Ninja of Taki, Chuunin, Part of Team 6, 19, 6 and 8'? 'Temamates:…' wow, that's a lot of people." Kaiya made a 'keep going' jester. " 'Known element: classified, Kekigenki: classified, has done 72 D missions, 79 C missions, 118 B missions, 69 A missions and…10 S RANKED MISSIONS?!?!?!'" The girls looked at Kaiya.
"What are you?"
"I am Michi Kaiya of the…" Kaiya looked at the ground. "I can not tell you. My clan is underground."
"Aren't you of the Michi clan?" Ino asked.
"No! I only took my bastard of a mamachichi's (step-father's) name because my mother wished it!" Kaiya took a deep breath.
"Tell them your story, Kaiya-chan." Kaiya nodded at Hinata.
"My father died when I was only two. He had been training with me when I lost control, and I killed him. I was going to start the academy but…I couldn't face anyone for a year. When my mother re-married, for her father's dying wish, he brought my brothers to me. My mother wanted us to be a single family unit so I took his name." Kaiya closed her eyes tightly. "Kumo, my mamachichi abused my mother and was angry that his children would not get her family's kekigenki. He beat her until she was paralyzed from the waist down. She was still able to bring my sister into the world. Michi Sorano.
"At the time my mother remarried, I was preparing to enter the chunnin exam but Kumo forbid it. He tried forced me to return to the academy until I was 12. I returned to the academy 4 times. Soon, I refused to go again, so my father let me stay with my team but I could not take the exams. So, Shibuki-sama sent me on missions alone. My teams went on to the exams but I stayed behind, doing solo missions for Shibuki-sama.
"When my brothers graduated, Kumo made me be on their team. They would have failed many missions if I had not been there but they got the praise.
"Now my mamachichi is at my mother's house, eating her food, living in luxury while he beats my sister and mother as they work like slaves." Tears began to fall steadily from the other girl's eyes. "And I am not there to protect them."
"Is that how you got that scar?" Temari asked. Kaiya shook her head.
"Kumo can not lay a hand on me." Kaiya picked up her sword from the pile. "Kumo's face has meet Hiromasa wrath more than once. For this, Kumo's face is bandaged."
"You cut him that bad?" Kaiya shrugged.
"I don't know. Maybe I did, maybe he does it for attention." She clutched the hilt of her sword until her knuckles turned white. "This scar is from something far more powerful, most dangerous than Hiromasa. Much more dangerous." Kaiya suddenly made a Saru (monkey) sign, saying softly, "Atsumeru" and her thing returned to her sleeves. Without another word, Kaiya stood up and left the room.
Once in the hallway, she passed Naruto, who was on his way to the bathroom. He looked at her when he passed and was surprised to see her face nearly stone blank.
The night continued like any slumber party with boys and girls in the same house. Well after midnight, when most were asleep, Naruto walked toward Hinata's room.
"The kit has turned into a pervert, I'm surprised."
Wha- I'm not turning into a hentai (pervert)!
"You are too! You're trying to see that girl in all her naked glory."
Sh-Shut up you yaro(bastard)kitsune!
"Ah, I've seen to have stuck a nerve. Face it kit, you like the girl. You want to bed her. Think about it. All that hair spread across the ground, her breathing heavily underneath you, her ample breast rising up and down, up and down. Her begging you to take her." Naruto covered his nose as blood began to flow.
I said shut up! I have a right mind to-
The sound of a window opening cut off Naruto's argument. Naruto quietly creaked open the door to see Kaiya coming in through the window. She walked over to Hinata and shook her gently.
"Hinata-sama, you awake?" Hinata sat up and, much to Naruto's hidden displeasure, she was clothed. The girl looked around and nodded. Kaiya smiled. "Good, get dressed and meet me at the training ground." Hinata nodded again and Kaiya walked toward the door. Naruto's eye grew wide and he hurried away from the door.
Kaiya walked out and shut the door quietly. She looked around as Naruto looked down at her.
"hm…I thought I heard someone out here. Someone like…Uzamaki-san!" Kaiya threw a kunai up at him, which he dodged but by doing so, lost balance and fell.
"He-Hey, Kaiya," Naruto said smiling and rubbing his neck. "Nice night huh?" Kaiya looked down at him, her face blank and stony again.
"Go back to sleep, Uzumaki-san." She turned her back on Naruto and walked down the hall. Naruto lay on the floor, confused. What had happened to make Kaiya so serious? Even when she threatened him, she had a playful tone in her voice, but now…
Hinata slowly shut the door behind her, fully dressed. She looked around seeing no one and ran silently down the hall way. She was closely followed by a blond hair shadow.
"He followed her."
So he has.
"What do we do with him?"
Nothing yet.
"You know something I don't?"
In fact I do. Who does he look like Yuu?
"Why, he looks like…"
Exactly.
"Are you going to tell him?"
I may but for now, we must focus on other things.
"Are you sure this is wise? Why can't she just marry the heir?"
You and I both know it's a trap. You and I must prepare her. We won't be here forever.
"Perhaps we could train the boy as well."
Perhaps. Kaiya smirked. I bet you want to catch up with Kyuubi don't you Yuu? I can see you blushing.
"That is not what is important now. Hinata-sama is."
I agree with you there. We will deal with Uzumaki-san later.
