Hiashi Hyuuga was furious! He fumed around a round the house like a mad man, no one dared get in his way. Neji saw his uncle storm past his window; he put his book down and leaned curiously out of the window. He saw Hiashi bang on Hinata's door, that's all he saw for he decided it was none of his business and went back to his reading.

"Hinata Hyuuga! OPEN THIS DOOR!"

"Oh..." Hinata whimpered from her side of the door. She really didn't want to let her father in. Fear of what he'd do to her, yes but also the shame that she had once again in some unknown way to her, disappointed her father...

"If you don't open this door, by the count of 5-"

Hinata opened the door quickly; her father stepped into her room and she backed away nervously.

"Remember when I asked you, where you were last night?!"

She nodded once.

"You just went for a walk, right?"

She nodded again. He threw his arms in the air.

"And when I asked if you saw anyone...?"

"N-no one" Hinata lied without thinking it through.

"LIAR" He spat at her, leaning towards her, his arms still in the air. Hinata whimpered quietly. "You were out with that Naruto boy! Painting the town red or whatever you young people do!"

She cringed slightly at how old her father was: Painting the town red she smiled.

"You think this is funny?!"

"N-no father" She hid her smile with her hand.

Hiashi saw his reflection in Hinata's eyes. He sighed and walked over to the window, taking in deep breaths to calm himself.

"Hinata, I know you and Neji aren't in love. But they're more important things than love. Your clan needs you, respect that. So, what you're doing with Naruto-"

Hinata blushed.

"It stops now!" He looked back at her, she met his gaze. "Do you understand?!"

"Y-yes"

He walked to her and awkwardly patted her shoulder. "This will do more good than you think, trust me." He walked to the door, "Oh and you're still grounded...till you get married." He closed the door behind him.

Hinata sighed. "At least I'm not dead" She thought bitterly to herself.
