Disc.: There's the right way, the wrong way and my way... which is the wrong way but faster. Homer is my idol.

Summary: Chap 4: Thoughts on second chances: The crime: is guilty of attacking . The verdict: Letting and go on a second date without interfering... MWAHAHAHA.

Notes: Hiashi's trying to put things right. Aw. R&R, please. Important A/N and 'Update schedule' at the end.

Thoughts of a Hyuga Father:

Thoughts on second chances.

I curse the person who created chakra seals.

The Hokage purposely hid some in the room to check if flares of my chakra were released in the room. Sadly, it turned out that despite denying that I harmed the boy there was unbeatable evidence against me.

Great.

During the case, the Hokage was the judge and I almost instantly seen as guilty. I had only a small chance of winning to begin with but when it turned out that she was the judge all hope was lost.

The following is a short extract from my case file:

The crime: Hyuga Hiashi is guilty of attacking fellow Shinobi, Uzumaki Naruto, despite warnings of not harming the latter. The latter's injuries were severe and has only survived due to the impressive healing abilities of our glorious, beautiful, wonderful, amazing, magnificent and brave Hokage, Tsunade-sama... and the healing abilities of the Hokage's apprentice Haruno Sakura who is amazing but not as amazing as me –I mean Hokage-sama, and the Kyubi.

The verdict: Letting Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata go on a second date without interfering... MWAHAHAHA.

This is a word for word copy of what was written down.

It's not hard to guess who wrote this, well re-wrote this.

I questioned Hokage-sama about who wrote it (the way Hokage-sama was described made me think hard about what kind of person wrote it and what kind of legal system Konoha has. In the end I concluded that she wrote it herself and Konoha is corrupt).

She told me that the original copy written by her assistant was ruined by some accidentally spilt sake and she decided in her sobering state, but please note that her head was still in a drunken fog, to write a new one. Oddly enough, I believe her story. She's always drunk and she always has sake; it all makes sense.

So now I'm under house arrest until Hinata gets back from her second date with, ugh, Naruto.

Ding, dong.

"I will get it Otou-sama," a soft voice which could only belong to Hinata, called out, penetrating through the door of my study.

"HEY HINATA-CHAN!"

"Eep."

I could hear a thudding noise and an embarrassed, "Gomen."

My door creaked open slowly and Hinata poked her head in meekly, "Otou-sama, we're leaving now."

I could see the back of the head of the Uzumaki boy behind her, seemingly talking to Neji, who was surprisingly not glaring at him in return. I think I need to talk to Neji about this later; all Hyugas should be cold at all times to strangers in our home, especially that boy who is trying to steal Hinata away and corrupt her mind and take away her innocence and...

I could only answer Hinata with a cautious 'fine'.

If only I could follow them or get someone else to.

It was only until I was taking a shower, and had slipped on my bar of soap which I accidentally dropped and proceeded onto hitting my head on the sink, quite hard I admit, that I realised who could follow them.

"Neji!"

After chasing him around the house and cornering him in the Hyuga library I managed to tell him my glorious, full proof plan and order him to do it but sadly in return I got a "PUT ON A TOWEL!" followed with a "GOUGE OUT MY EYES SOMEBODY. KAMI-SAMA, WHY MUST YOU HATE ME! WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS" which was then followed with a "I CAN NEVER LOOK AT YOU THE SAME WAY!" then followed with me putting on a towel and Neji declining since he had a mission in a few hours... and some 'much needed therapy', as he put it, after his mission.

Mentally scaring the young is fun.

You should try it.

"Bye Hinata-chan! I would walk you up to your door but I'm afraid of your dad."

"It's okay Naruto-kun."

They were standing outside, on the other side of the Hyuga gates; sadly, I was not allowed anywhere outside of the Hyuga manor.

And then it was as if time had stopped.

He leaned down, she looked up and I ran outside the comfort (and safety) of my house and towards the gate.

And as their lips met, I put one foot outside of the Hyuga Manor boundary and was rapidly drained of chakra and collapsed.

"Is he okay?"

"I think so."

I felt light-headed as I came out of the abyss of unconsciousness. I opened my eyes but quickly closed them again due to the sharp sting in eyes from the bright light in the room which then resulted to the dull ache in my head.

I groaned in pain.

"Hey old man is awake."

Ugh. The boy was here. My mood was getting better and better.

"Otou-sama..."

Opening my eyes again (but not without squinting to get y eyes re-adjusted to the light) I was greeted by a pair of teary, opal with a hint of lavender (pupil-less) eyes.

(And the concern in Hinata's voice made Hiashi's heart grow three times as big (with emotion) and everything was right in the world (except for rape, killing, abortions, knife and gun crime, terrorist, life and the fact that they kissed. Oh yeah, and Christmas, Boxing day, Christmas Eve, New year's eve, New year's day, Chinese new year, Hanukah, the Sabbath, Easter, Halloween, the Fourth of July, any other public holiday . . . were saved).

This is all true you know.)

Anyway, a second later I was faced with the bright blue eyes.

If I could move my body I would do some illegal things to him.

Cece: I'm happy with this chapter. On the other hand, I'm not happy with the start I tried to make on the next and it's all because I'm having a little (solvable) problemo.

Here's a little preview on what it's about: Thoughts on meeting the family. Yes Neji makes an appearance (Inner Neji fangirl pushes other Inner fangirls away before shouting: WOOT!)

...and so does Hanabi... (cough. Looks out the window with a dull expression.) ... yeah... seriously we don't get to see her at all so I can't really harbour any feelings towards her.
