A/N: Sorry slow chapter, but it must be done.

Kyuubi: She doesn't own Naruto I do! Mwahahahaahaha

ME: If I can't have him you can't either!

POV: Naruto

"Idiots! How can you let him hurt your future leader?" Yuri screams at the two red faced shinobi. I snicker and get an elbow in the ribs from Hinata when we get dirty looks from Yuri.

"We shamed those ninjas! You should be proud of kicking their butts. They can't show their faces in public anymore!" I tell Hinata proudly. She looks down using her hair to shield her flushed face. However, on the inside I feel her smile.

"Nice punch by the way. That was pretty awesome." Hinata says trying to shake off the attention. I scratch my head and smile at her. I feel our hearts skip a beat.

I don't even know how it happened. I say remembering how my muscle felt like they were filled with air and the weightlessness that I felt while at mid run.

It's in your blood. Speed runs in the Namikazes genes. She replies and we exchange smiles

I yelp when my head is suddenly pulled back by the hair. I knew it could be one of two people and both weren't all that pleasant to deal with.

"Brat can't you stay out of trouble! For goodness sakes it's been an hour!" I stay quiet knowing she didn't want me to answer.

"Lady Tsunade don't be mad at Naruto. I had started the fight with the shinobi." Hinata says coming to my defense. Granny gives Hinata a look that said do you except me to believe that.

"They attacked Naruto!" She says effectively pulling our new Jin-mate card. Tsunade stands down and releases my hair. I sigh in relief and gently rub at the scalp.

"Why did they attack you?" Tsunade says sighing. I point to an unconscious Minato and she sighs again.

"Let's just start this." She says walking over to the huge round table that is covered by a huge map of the five great nations.

"Asuma, Konohamaru come here." Granny say and official starts the session. The Sarutobi finished their session fast. Which was expected since they all we're fair and split everything so everyone was happy. But now it was our turn.

I feel the tension in the room increase ten fold. Even the Sarutobi were on edge.

"Naruto, Yuri Come here." I get up to my feet and I feel everybody's gaze locked on me. I look back at Hinata, she smiles encouragingly, and I feel her telepathic push. I sigh and drag me feet to the huge table. Yuri stands there a group of advisors standing behind her. I cringe at their hateful stares.

"Minato stated that his properties be divided equally. So are there any claims that you would like to make known?" Tsunade says her voice apprehensive and tense.

"Yes there is Tsunade-sama." Yeah no one was surprised to hear this, but of course, Yuri has to push on the boundaries. "We would like to argue that statement." She says smirking in my direction. I can sense a wicked plan forming in her twisted head.

"On what grounds." Granny says cautiously.

"My husband had an affair and lawfully that gives me half of everything." Granny sighs and I get a feeling she knew this was going to happen.

"And your proof?" She asks. Yuri slams her fist on the table.

"Don't play the fool Tsunade your proof is standing next to you!" Yuri says pointing in my direction.

"Yuri Naruto was conceived after yours and Minato's divorce." Granny says and I feel a weight being lifted off my heart. I wasn't a bastard! Everyone breaks out into loud whispers. Apparently no one, not even the Namikazes, knew about the divorce. Haha… Can't wait till this rumor spreads. I feel Hinata say innocently.

You are really something Hinata. I reply laughing and feel as your heart's synchronization alters as Hinata's picks up speed. I feel my own heart skip a beat happily at the Hyuuga's reaction.

"No! That's not possible! We had divorced 4 weeks before the Kyuubi attack! There's no way any child could be conceived and born in a MONTH!" Yuri yells at Granny.

"Your right, but were not talking about any normal birth. Kushina, Naruto's mother, was the previous Kyuubi host." I feel more eyes staring holes into my head." And Kyuubi children develop at an almost impossible rate. Kushina was 9 months pregnant in three weeks." Everyone stares at Granny like if she was crazy, but Hinata and me look at each other and just know that what she's saying is true.

"Lies! Your trying to protect that Bastard!" Yuri yells.

"Hey respect our Hokage!" I yell angrily. "You can say what you want about me but granny deserves respect!" I feel Granny put her hand on my shoulder.

"Naruto it's OK." She says her voice taking on a softer tone. I give her an incredulous look and she only pats my head and goes back to talking to Yuri.

"It's true what I say. Minato didn't have an affair so the testimony stands." Granny's says in an official manner. Yuri stands to protest, but she is silenced by Granny's glare. The Namikazes retreat of into their own little conversation as they work out another strategy. I try not to stare as the clan elders lecture Yuri instead I look over the huge map.

Theirs 4 places over all, three are in the leaf and one is in the sand.

"I want these two properties." I say taking my chance to end this thing faster. I point at a small apartment that is located in the sand village and a mansion that lay overlooking the Hokages monument. They were ridiculously small compared to the other two manors. "They can have the rest." I say trying to sound as polite and mature as possible. The Namikazes break out into discussion and I get a thumbs up to be able to get the properties. I smile happily and I feel Hinata's joy also.

Now you can see Garaa! Hinata says happily.

What? Aren't you like jealous or mad that I'm his Jin-mate. I feel her hesitate slightly.

No I'm not mad. You're going to be helping your friend. And I know how happy you are about this. If it makes you happy then I'm behind it 100%. She says, her soft voice filling my head.

I can't even express the happiness I'm feeling at this moment. I love you so much Hinata. I say and I feel her shiver lightly.

I love you too Naruto. She says and my body hums with happiness.

"Naruto!" I jump and turn to Granny. The Namikazes were still conversing but I must have been pretty out of it because Tsunade and Kakashi look worried.

"What?"

"Pay attention."

"Oh sorry." Granny shakes her head and continues.

"OK So in regards to the Fourth's money. Naruto is entitled to all of it but is to only get an allowance until he is of age." Granny slides a paper over to me and hands me a pen.

"Sign here to transfer all our money to an account that will be accessible to you on your 16th birthday." I look at the paper and I almost faint when I see the amount on the paper.

"How in the world did he get this much money!" I whisper to granny in fear of sounding like I was bragging.

"His mother came from a family that owned a couple diamond and coal mines." I sign the paper every stroke of my pen made me feel more and more guilty. Some of this money should be going to at least some of his family.

Naruto don't worry they still have a lot of money. Hinata says confidentially.

How?

Every clan has an account that is especially for the head of families. And if their anything like my clan they are still loaded. The money your getting is Minato's personal account so your not stripping anyone of their money.

I hand over the paper and smile. I'm set for life!

"OK this session is dismissed." Granny yells and every one scatters. I stay behind as everyone clears out. Hinata and Kakashi walk over and I grin big. All the excitement I tried to bottle up in front of the Namikazes spilling out.

"Whoa there. Your going to make me pass out with all this excitement." Hinata says giggling and taking my hand in hers. I calm down a little bit and the urge to bounce around calms also. Granny leaves and we follow after.

"Naruto, Hinata I sense a problem." Kakashi says as we start walking up the stairs.

"What?" I say. Hinata's hand tightens over mine.

"My dad is outside. Naruto I want you to transform, now!" I stop walking and try to calm her frantic thoughts. Hinata's pleading eyes make me break so I grip her hand and reply,

"What do you want me to transform into." I say smiling. She smiles back gratefully.

"Naruto transform yourself into a girl." I laugh at how sad it is that I been ask this one to many times. But I decide to follow her instructions without questioning like she has done for me these past few days.

I do the hand signs and a puff of smoke envelopes us. I feel a tiny drain on my chakra as I transform into a short middle aged brunette.

"Is this alright?" I cringe at how high my voice sounds. Hinata laughs and nods.

"So who am I today?" I ask Hinata and she smiles sheepishly.

" We'll figure it out later."

We walk up the stairs in a sprint and we're hit with the sound of screams and cheers. We emerge out of the dark hole and find that the entire field is filled with waiting bystanders.

"What are they doing here?" I ask Kakashi. Curious faces crowd around the families and everyone seems to be high with joy making the atmosphere buzz with excitement.

"It's been years since this has happened. People just want to celebrate the deaths of the Kages."

"That's nice." I say happily, but Hinata tenses and I see her Father making a b-line towards us. His face an unreadable mask. We all bow respectfully when he stops in front of us.

"Hinata is what I heard true?" He roars. People's heads turn towards us. Hinata flushes at the attention and on the inside I feel that she's a little ashamed too.

"What is it you speak of?" Hinata says her eyes glued to the floor.

"What? You didn't know?" He replies mockingly. "It's apparently all over Konoha."

"Father I don't understand." She says genuinely confused. We can't think of anything that she or we did that would make her Father mad and that all of Konoha would know about for that matter.

"Well Konoha thinks that you were going to runaway with the Uzumaki boy and that you were pregnant no less!" All three of us slump in relief. Really, from all the real drama between me and Hinata they chose the one that we had playacted.

"Father that is not true. It's just a foolish thing me and Naruto said to our friends as a joke." Hinata says keeping with the same monotone as before.

"A young lady your age shouldn't says such things even as a joke. Your punishment is no supper for a week."

"Yes sir." Hinata says and bows again. I sigh in relief as he turns and walks away. I'm just believing that we had made it scotch free, but suddenly Hiashi spins around and aims a blow at Hinata. Kakashi can't do anything because of him being a shadow clone and all. So I jump in front of Hinata and with both hands grab his arm and twist it so the chakra that radiated of it wouldn't touch me.

"You think that foolish disguise could fool me boy?" Hiashi screams and reaches over and hits a chakra point in my leg. I fall to the ground as my leg goes numb. The jutsu breaks and I'm left on the ground grasping my leg as waves of pain fluctuate down the thigh.

Hiashi smiles (sort of) like if beating me was a small pleasure in life that he enjoyed doing. I have to admit I could see why Hinata would be frightened.

"You stay away from my daughter Kyuubi." Not with the Kyuubi thing again.

"What me and her do is between me and her!" I yell thru the pain. Hiashi must never have had someone talk back to him because his completely shocked and offended face makes Hinata cower in fear.

Hiashi charges at me his palm positioned to hit my chest. My bum leg makes my reaction time slow, but it's not me I wanted to protect. Hinata pivots around so she's in front of me and she blocks her dad's hand with a grace and poise that was sickeningly beautiful and deadly.

Hiashi tries to strike again but Hinata stops it using her forearm to push it away.

"If you like fighting so such attack me! Stop defending him!" Hiashi says positioning himself into on of his clans defensive positions. Hinata hesitates at his offer, but I silently urge her. "Now!" Hiashi yells.

Hinata activates her Byakugan and she charges at him her arm poised and aiming at his arm, but the previous hesitation had slowed her down so he blocks and like a snake he slithers around and takes his aim at her arm again.

Hinata watch it! I scream and she uses my eyes to see what her Byakugan couldn't pick up and she blocks. Hiashi's eyes widen in shock and I know he wasn't holding back(Bastard) and he didn't expect her to block. Kakashi helps me stand up and I watch as the fight continues.

People have now gathered around and are mesmerized at the beauty of the Hyuuga's fighting style. Every movement of their bodies is graceful and smooth. They resembled snakes that are trying to bite each other. When one strikes the other's body moves accordingly.

Hinata continues to use the dual vision to block and even hit Hiashi. Hiashi seems to now realize that Hinata and him are fighting in equal terms so he decided to crank it up a notch. After a minute of Hiashi's real strength Hinata starts to visibly slow down and starts sticking with defensive. But even a little while longer and her defense gets sloppy allowing him to get a couple of hits on her until finally he gets a good blow on the arm. Hinata drops her defense to clutch at the now burning arm. Hiashi takes advantage of her weakness and gets the other arm leaving her completely defenseless.

"Now that isn't the kind of moves a jonin does on a genin Hiashi." Kakashi says stepping in between the two. Kakashi and Hinata exchange looks and she walks over to me were I try to rub the blood and chakra back into her arms. She flinches and I feel the pins and needles feeling all up the side of her arms.

"I'm sorry I can't just heal you." I whisper and she sighs in relief when I'm able to touch her skin and allow the drain to numb the arms.

"It's fine. Plus Tsunade said we couldn't do it anymore." She whispers back.

"Damn her Hokage's orders." Hinata sighs and I feel her thinking about it.

Even if we were to disobey her we only know how to heal with "physical" contact- I raise my eyebrows questioningly and she looks down. and I don't think Father will be happy if we did it now. I smile when her face flushes at the mention of getting being "physical".

"How I treat my daughter is none of your business!" Hiashi and Kakashi's argument was really getting bad. "Hinata!" Hinata flinches away from me and walks to her Father. I follow behind her despite the pain in my legs.

"Have you been telling people that I treat you badly?" He says his voice taking on a sickly sweet voice that might come off as caring, but I can sense the mocking in his words. He places his hand on Hinata's shoulder and I feel Hinata flinch internally.

"Noo Faatherr." She says her stuttering coming back as Hiashi increases the pressure on her shoulder and from what I read off Hinata's mind there's a chakra point there that is not fun when pressed.

I growl angrily when Hiashi leans down to whisper in her ear.

"Now you don't want me to do this in front of your friends now do you?" He says and Hinata shakes her head making the pooling tears fall to the ground.

Please no no don't do it please, please. I hear Hinata pleading in her mind as memories of past punishments come back. One being the very one she was cringing from. A nasty bubble of anger rises from my belly as I watch Hinata remembering the crippling pain he had inflicted since she was smaller.

Any protests coming from my conscious was ignored as I use my new speed to yank off Hiashi's arm off Hinata. She relaxes when the arm disappears, but tenses again when she sees me. I watch thru her eyes as the pupils in my eyes dilate and become thin slits much like when I use the Kyuubi's chakra but this time The blue in my eyes stays.

I look away from her worried face and glare at Hiashi. His eyes widen in shock for a moment but he quickly regains his usual expressionless mask. I smirk at the fear I sense radiating of the man.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size." I say copying Hinata's statement from before. Hiashi scuffs and grabs Hinata by the arm and starts dragging her with him. A strange feeling wells up in my chakra and I hate how much I like it. It's like a sense of complete power and it spreads into my veins until my vision is blurred with the hot sensation.

It's like walking into a wall of Jell-O then a cluster of thoughts, memories and even the demands of the body fill me as I push into Hiashi's mind. The reigns go to me and I yell out one command.

You'll never hurt Hinata again! Do you hear me? The subconscious stirs awake and repeats, Hinata? I bend the will of the ninja so it does my bidding.

I'll never hurt her…. I want to leave immediately after. The feeling of being in someone's mind to sick for me to handle, but deep inside I love it.I hear a lone cackle fill the air then in an instant my connection with Hinata severs. The crushing loneliness that comes after has my real body crumble to the floor. I rush to find the connection again, but I'm completely alone again. Hinata! I try yelling, but only the echoes come back.

I pull out of Hiashi's brain, but am only pulled back into my own subconscious.

What the hell?

"You've been naughty haven't you Naruto?" I jump at the deep rumbling voice. I look out behind the bars and my heart starts to beat furiously in my chest when I see only emptiness on the other side. I cringe when the Kyuubi's hot breath hits me from behind, making all the hair on my body rise and a cold sweat to break out all over my body.

I spin around and find Kyuubi rolled up into a ball on the floor, his tails swinging nonchalantly in the air. I can feel the immense power that radiates of him hit me when he slowly gets up and walks closer. I back away until I hit the bars.

"What are you doing outside the cage?" I ask my voice quavering in fear as he smiles so he shows all of his sharp ended teeth. I cower into the bars. That smile is the thing that kept me up at night when I was younger and it still has the same effect on me now,

"Oh no Naruto your on my side." I flinch away from his breath that always smelled of death and rotting flesh.

"What?" Kyuubi's tail comes in from behind and runs down my arm. The fur tickling my skin. I don't dare move instead I look straight ahead into Kyuubi's always angry eyes.

"You aren't Naruto anymore. You're my personal slave." Kyuubi says patting me on my head with one of his many tails. "You asked for my power now you must serve me." He says running his tail down my cheek.

"But I must say what you did to Hiashi was marvelous. That's why I let the girl live."

Hinata! I overcome the fear and wild emotions once I realize that Kyuubi still can't hurt me. I swat his tail away.

"Why did you take Hinata from me?" I yell, my voice slowly gaining more confidence.

"I couldn't let her know about this. This information is only for me and my host to know about." Kyuubi sneers. "Plus she could have died if I didn't cut her off when I did."

"Well give her back!" I growl and Kyuubi laughs. The same feeling from before fills me and I shiver in pleasure. Absolute control. I'd have everyone under me, doing my bidding. I can have the world, anything I want is mine!

Hinata… I only want Hinata! I screan to myself as I struggle to push out of the Kyuubi's grasp.

"No Kyuubi your in my body! You serve me!" I say making Kyuubi growl and pounce on me. My eyes water at the rotting stench that radiates off Kyuubi's damp fur.

"Why should I serve a little weakling like you!" He says through his teeth. I smile and he gets angry and push down harder with his paws.

"You'll do it or I'll kill myself with you in me!" I yell then pull out as fast as I can from my mind leaving a stupefied Kyuubi behind.

The state in which my body is in is horrifying. A loud ringing in my ears has me straining to hear and only blackness is seen through my eyes. The total silence and darkness has my mind spinning as it tries to find equilibrium.

After a pain staking minute of this I finally get my senses back and am on my hands and knees panting from the exertion. I scream in pain as Kyuubi push down hard on my mind. It takes all my strength to reach into my pocket to pull out the long forgotten kunai. I focus all of my energy into moving my arm until I have the blade pressed into the skin of my throat.

I have absolutely zero reasons to not finish myself right there. Kyuubi feels this and growls deeply. It's vibration rattle my bones. I groan as I feel my mind and spirit stretch out of their boundaries and reach out and grab Hinata's. Like a rubber band everything snaps back so our souls intertwined in a peaceful in between.

I sigh in relief when the two start to blend and I can feel Hinata again. Her heartbeat and thoughts were like precious jewels that I never want to lose again.

Naruto! I hear her say before we both drop unconscious from exhaustion.

Later in the evening

Well done Naruto. Well played. I'll let you have my power. But you'll want more. You'll be back! I jump awake, the sinister laugh still reverberating in my head. I feel the person next to me stir and I smile, dream forgotten, when I hear her groan lightly at the soreness in her muscles and arms. I lay down gently and run my fingers down her soft cheek. She smiles and places her hand over mine so it stays on her cheek.

The drain comes slowly, but it fills me with so much relief that it's still there. Hinata opens her eyes and I frown when there filled with tears.

"I thought I had lost you." Hinata says her voice quivering slightly. I place my thumb over her trembling lip and kiss her cheek.

"Please forgive me." I plead. I think to her all the different things I would do for her forgiveness. She smiles and kisses me softly to quiet me down. Haha… it worked.

"I should talk more often." I whisper to her and she rolls her eyes.

It's not like your super quiet any ways. She says playfully. I smile big.

Can I have one more kiss before we go to sleep. I say pouting. She smiles then rolls over so she's facing away from me making me whimper in disappointment.

Goodnight Naruto. She says a hint of laughter in her voice.

I scoot closer and wrap my arms around her waist so she's pressed up against my chest.

Goodnight Hinata. I say placing a small kiss on her neck. I smile when I see her shiver and feel her face heat up.

For another hour I stay awake listening to Hinata's slow and steady heartbeat while I think about the past. Even if I only now realized it I had always felt this way towards the shy ninja. Thinking back I realize why.

She had set me on my path towards becoming a ninja when we were smaller. I remember seeing a group of boys taunting her because of her strange eyes and I tried to help her. I couldn't stand someone so innocent getting the treatment only I got back then. The boys were academy students so I didn't stand a chance, but it made me so mad that I couldn't protect the girl that I wanted compensation.

I signed up the next day despite the objection the third got from concerned parents. I was ecstatic when I saw that she was in my class. I had believed we would hit it off and I would finally have a friend, but the other children had brought me down so bad with their bullying and insults that I didn't try. I thought she would only reject me like everyone else.

Yeah it was a horrible first day, and it ended with me in tears while the rest of the kids went to recess. I think she saw me crying because the next day I had found a small cupcake with a smiley face painted on in my cubby. It came with a note, but I could never read it so instead I would take the small paper with me were ever I went. Later I found out it had said "Thank you" only proving it was her.

Even though she might not have known that the cupcake was the only present I had ever received I had been grateful to the girl ever since. Besides that she was also the only person that didn't treat me like the plague.

And man it got confusing when we got older. I always wondered why it was she always blushed, stuttered and fainted around me. I thought she was going crazy to be honest with you, but I couldn't help but like the girl more. I always tried to hide that I liked her since I realized her position and how important she was. (I even tried to make people believe I liked Sakura.) It frightened me because I didn't think she would find me worthy of even being her friend. But once again she never once showed any disgust or dislike towards me.

Naruto go to sleep! I hear Hinata groan in her thoughts. I laugh and snuggle closer. I fall asleep almost instantly when I realize that the girl I thought I would never have is snuggled into my chest asleep.

POV: Hinata

I wake up at dawn when the lights are barely lighting up the small hospital room. I want to go back to sleep but the ninja lifestyle of awaking when the light hit's the sky is embedded deeply into my skull that I can't find the will to do it. Kakashi stirs also once the light reaches his eyes. He yawns and gives me a small smile then laughs when he sees a wipeout Naruto that is sprawled on the mattress the light not affecting his sleep at all.

"That boy sleeps like a hibernating bear." Kakashi says reaching for the remote on the table.

"Wait Naruto is sleeping you can't watch tv!" I say swiping the small black box. Kakashi rolls his eyes and I gasp when suddenly the control is back in his hands.

"Trust me he won't wake up and I don't want to hear what he has to say." Kakashi says grimacing a little. He elaborates when I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion.

"He's a major sleep talker and the things he says sometimes are TMI."

"You know 'too much information'." He says when I once again give him an incredulous look. God old people shouldn't use those stupid acronyms.

"I know what it means." I say and as if on cue Kakashi turns on the TV when Naruto starts to murmur random nonsense.

"No pickles shouldn't go in there!" He says into the pillow. At the proximity I start to get pulled into the dream. I push out, but not before Naruto feels the presence and whispers. "Hinata?" I flush and look around to make sure no one heard that unfortunately I see Kakashi give me an amused look only making me blush harder.

"Naruto you have to wake up now." I say leaning down to gently whisper in his ear. Please wake up before you embarrass yourself more! I hear small footsteps echo down the hall and I sense Sakura's familiar presence draw closer. I try anything to wake him up but he just continues to snore and mumble into the pillow. I even tried pulling the pillow out from under his face, but he only moves so that he is on his belly and clutching the pillow with both hands. I yank off the covers and stand up so I'm standing over the bed. I walk over and open the door so the crisp morning air fills the room. Kakashi complains and pulls up his sheets. I ignore him and grab onto the cover the Naruto has cocooned over him.

I pull at the cover and he pulls back groaning, "Hinata stop!" I stop as Naruto consciousness slowly drifts in thru the cloak of sleep, but he falls back under when he's covered again.

I groan but now I know how to wake him up. I go to the mattress and sit so my back is against the wall. I close my eyes and try to focus on where I felt Naruto's consciousness came from and I reach in and try to yank at it thru the fog of sleep. I'm able to pull him out right when Sakura opens the door to the room. Naruto throws his body up so he's in a sitting position.

"I'm sorry did I wake you?" She says extremely surprised that she had woken him up. I don't blame her…

Naruto is like a zombie his eyes just stare droopily at the sheets as he tries to gain himself again. He finally moves his head towards me and pouts.

That was mean. He whines and I only smile back.

"OK you two Tsunade sama wants you to go to her office as soon as you get cleaned up. She said it was about finding privacy in your minds or something." Naruto's eyes widen and I let out a semi relieved sigh. Privacy? So now I want have to watch what I think anymore.

What are you hiding in those thoughts were you have to hide them? I hear Naruto say teasingly. I groan internally and Naruto laughs.

No it's cool I don't think any girl would like to hear everything that runs thru a teenage boys head. Especially when a certain ninja is being a tease. Naruto says remembering watching me in that small dress from the party. I gag mentally so he can hear.

God I can't wait to find out what's in store for us now.
