"Talking"

'Thinking'

'Kyubi talking'

Repaying a Debt

"N-naruto kun, um, w-why are y-you following m-me?" Hinata asked, with a noticeable blush growing on her cheeks as she did.

Naruto responded quickly, no hesitation, no emotion "To protect you of course Hinata sama, unless you wish for me to leave you alone?"

Hinata quickly shook her head, feeling awful that she might have given the impression that she wanted to be alone. The last couple of days have been, awkward for the Hyuga heir. She simply didn't understand Naruto, he was mysterious, quiet, and most of all, cold. And being a member from a clan known to be like robots when it came to their emotions, that was saying something.

Hinata was quite scared of Naruto, when her mother took her out of the compound for a walk, Naruto followed silently behind them, almost resembling that of a ghost. And the way he watched every person who waved or smiled at Hinata and her mother, made them both feel slightly uncomfortable. To young to understand why Naruto did this, Hinata simply chose to ignore the blondes actions. Oblivious to the fact that to Naruto everyone was a threat, everyone was an enemy.

Thinking of the last time the blonde seemed to have scared a merchant to the point he couldn't form words from a simple stare, Hinata was quickly pulled from the memory when she heard the blonde speak to her.

"Hinata sama, are you alright?"

Reacting quickly, remembering that her mother told her it was rude to daze off when talking with someone she responded with a meek "I-im alright N-Naruto kun"

Naruto nodded and stood as still as a statue, an akward silence coating the air, which only Hinata took notice of.

"N-Naruto kun, um w-would you l-like t-to play a-a game w-with m-me" Hinata felt her stomach swim as she asked the blonde the question, not knowing if he would want to play with someone as weak as her or as troublesome.

Naruto stared at Hinata, his icy blue eyes made a shiver run down her spine as the air around them seemed to drop in temperature. He was doing it again, he was staring straight into her soul. Hinata couldnt describe how Naruto could simply stare at a person and make them freeze up. He just looked at the person, his face devoid of any emotion, and continued to watch them. And since he did this all the time, people were afraid to come up to him and strike conversation, especially the Hyuga members. Only, Hiashi and Hana were comfortable enough to talk with the boy, Hinata could as well, but was still fearful that he would may snap and yell at her like the Hyuga elders did.

"Play a game? What does that mean?"

Hinata suddenly lost all fear in that split second and stared at the blonde in shock. Hinata couldnt understand, everyone knew what that meant, it meant to, well, play a game with another person. But with his robotic monotone voice and blank face, Hinata could easily tell that the blonde in front of her was seriously asking her a question. Seeing his head tilt to the side only an inch, Hinata understood immediately why her mother told her to be patient with him, and to help him whenever he needed it.

Hinata began to press her index fingers together, her eyes on the ground as she spoke "It m-means-" But before Hinata could finish her sentence a Branch member came up to the two and bowed.

"Hinata sama, Hana sama and Hiashi sama have sent me to tell you they wish to speak with you immediately"

Hinata nodded at the Branch member and smiled softly yet shyly as she headed to the only place she could think her parents could be besides the garden, where the Hyuga heiress was currently at.

Speed walking to her destination, Hinata looked over her shoulder to see Naruto following behind her quietly, the black kimono that he wore was loose, allowing a small amount of his chest to be seen. His blonde locks swayed slightly with each step he took. Again Hinata took notice to how ghost like Naruto was, he never spoke unless spoken too, and could somehow appear and disappear in a blink of an eye.

Not watching what she was doing, Hinata didnt notice the small puddle of spilt tea on the floor in the hallway and slipped. Closing her eyes in fear, Hinata let out a girlish scream as she fell waiting for her back to connect with the bamboo flooring. But it never came, cracking open her eyes, Hinata noticed a branch member running towards her.

"Hinata sama are you alright? My deepest apologies, on my way back to the kitchen i had spilled some tea on the floor, i went to go grab a towel, and"

Hinata simply smiled shyly at the branch member "I-its ok, im f-fine"

The branch member countinued with his apology as Hinata looked up to notice that Naruto had stopped her fall, holding her in a bridal position "Are you ok Hinata sama?"

Hinata suddenly lost herself in the blondes eyes, surprised to see that his usual icey cold look held what seemed to be a small amount of emotion, something she had never seen from the blonde.

"i-im o-ok N-Naruto kun"

Naruto nodded and slowly set the heiress on her feet.

"Hinata? Is everything alright?"

Looking over to her right, Hinata quickly noticed her mother and father walking over, a look of worry painted on their faces.

"I-Im o-ok"

Hana let a sigh of relief as she knelt down and hugged her daughter "You screamed so your father and i thought you were in danger! What happened my little hime?"

Hinata blushed at the nickname her mother used and the embarrassment of having to tell her parents that she slipped. But before she could speak Naruto spoke for her

"Hinata sama slipped while walking, there was an accident early where one of the servants spilt some tea and when going to retrieve a towel to clean the mess, Hinata and i stumbled upon it. I am at fault, if i had noticed that the floor was wet i would have directed Hinata sama away from the spill"

Suprised at his repsonse Hiashi couldnt help but nod at the blonde, looking over at his daughter to see what the blonde said was true.

"i-im l-lucky Naruto was h-here father, h-he caught me b-before i f-fell"

Hana smiled lovingly at the blonde making his heart flutter as she stood up and patted his head. With a tone of admiration in her voice Hana spoke "Thank you Naruto for helping Hinata, that was very kind of you"

Naruto just nodded and followed after Hana, Hiashi and Hinata as they made their way to the family room of their estate for a family meeting.

Hinata sat on her knees in front of her parents as they both enjoyed a cup of tea that was brought and served to them by Naruto. Surprisingly the blonde knew how to make a very tasty cup of tea.

"Kaa chan?"

Hana quickly looked over at her daughter and blushed when she realized that neither her or her husband spoke about why they were having a family meeting.

"Hiashi" Hana whispered to her husband, quickly getting his attention when he was about to get a third cup of tea from Naruto.

"Yes Hana chan? What is it?" Hiashi asked with the regular monotone voice the Hyuga are known to have, but the simple look his wife gave him made him look between her and his daughter before he swiftly placed the cup down and coughed in his hand to hide his blush.

"Hinata, your mother and i have to tell you something, it has to do with the family"

Hinata looked between her parents with a look of slight curiosity and fear. Whenever they had these meetings, it was either to tell her good news or bad news, and with the way her father spoke with upmost seriousness, Hinata feared the worst, thinking that maybe something happened yet again between a branch member and one of the elders.

Taking notice to their daughters look, Hana and Hiashi reassured her that it wasn't bad news.

Smiling sweetly Hana spoke "Hinata, how do you like the idea of having a little brother or sister?"

Time seemed to stop as Hinata looked between her parents, the look she had on her face made her father smirk while her mother giggled. Looking between her parents for one last time, Hinata placed her gaze on her mother, noticing her smile widen as she rubbed her belly.

"A- am i g-going t-to be a big s-sister?" Hinata asked feeling bubbly at the thought of having a younger sibling.

With a nod of her head, Hana quickly caught Hinata as she threw herself into her while giggling happily. Scooting closer to Hiashi, Hana felt him embrace her while giving their daughter a kiss on the head.

"I w-want a l-little s-sister!" Hinata shouted with pure joy and happiness, making her mother laugh while her father continued to smirk.

As the Hyuga family talked amongst each other, they forgot about the blonde that stood in the corner of the room, a look of determination mixed with self confidence as he thought 'I will protect you all, especially you Hana sama'

Four days Later

Naruto and Hana walked through the Hyuga garden together, with Hinata taking a nap in her room, and Hiashi taking care of clan business with the elders. Hana found herself alone with Naruto. Happy to finally have some alone time with the blonde, and not taking a liking to the awkward silence the filled the air which only Hana noticed, she smiled sweetly at Naruto like she always did and began to strike conversation.

"Naruto kun? Do you like the compound?"

Naruto gave a soft Hai in response as he looked in every possible corner of the garden. Knowing that the blonde was looking for any possible threats, Hana stopped in her tracks and with a firm voice spoke

"Naruto please look at me"

Naruto quickly looked at Hana as he too stopped walking and turned around to face her, noticing that she held a small amount of apprehension and sadness in her eyes as she thought over a question she was going to ask the blue eyed boy "Naruto kun, how would you feel about going to the academy?"

Hana watched Naruto closely, waiting for his response. The council, as well as the clan heads and Jiraiya had said that Naruto should be enrolled into the academy. The elders wanted the young boy to begin to train in the arts of Konoha, to become a full fledged shinobi and to go out on missions for them. With Paku, Kakashi, Hana, Hiashi and plenty more Anbu they could all testify that Naruto was a force to be reckoned with. To have such power at a young age, and to take on large groups of jounin level by himself was unheard of, to have the boy become a loyal konoha shinobi would make their village feared. And with fear comes respect, and respect brings more clients who would come from around the shinobi nations, asking for the help of the so called "Akuma no ko" a nickname the Anbu have given the boy.

Only Anbu personal and above have heard of the boy and knew what he holds inside him. To common ninja and civilians Naruto was a mystery, the only thing they knew about the blonde was that he was a loyal dog to the Hyuga family. It could be seen as clear as day that he would listen to any command the Hyuga head and his wife would tell him and do so obediently.

"Do you wish for me to go to the Academy?"

Hana sighed at that, but couldn't find a correct response to the give the blonde, but kami behold she was saved by a pervert known through out the world (According to him)

"I believe Hana sama was asking if YOU" Jiraiya emphasized the you part as he walked up to the pair "Naruto would like to go the academy, not because she wants you to, but because you would like to"

Naruto looked between the Hokage and Hana before finally stopping on Hana and replying with "I do not understand what you wish for me to do Hana sama"

Jiraiya sighed as Hana sweat dropped, 'Oh Naruto, what did they do to you?'

"You would be going with Hinata if you went as well Naruto"

Naruto looked over at Jiraiya immediately when he said that, but in matter of seconds he thought over every possible outcome if he went with Hinata to the Academy. He wouldn't be able to protect Hana or Hiashi, and if he decided to not go as a student but a body guard. He would draw attention onto the Hyuga heiress and from the little time he's spent with Hinata, he knew she wouldn't be use to such attention.

Hana was pregnant with her second child, and when news got out, merchants most likely would talk among each other and knowing that some travel around it may leak to another great village. Hana could possible become a target to missing nin, bandits, or even ninja from other villages looking to have an upper hand against Konoha or to use her as a tool to get money. Most likely the later for missing nin and bandits while ninja from other villages would simply kidnap her to have the Hyuga dojutsu.

Naruto remained silent as he thought over whether or not he should go to the academy. Looking over at Hana, he suddenly lost himself in her eyes, seeing that she really wanted him to go. She had hope he would say yes, and he would never want to disappoint her. Thinking it over one last time, Naruto looked over at Jiraiya and nodded

"I will go to the Academy with Hinata sama but not as a student, my sole purpose is to protect her from any harm, be it physical or emotional. But i will leave three clones here in the Hyuga compound, two to watch over Hana sama, while the third would watch over Hiashi sama"

Jiraiya could only smirk as he shook his head in amusement 'I dont think there would be any possible way to get him to say yes, unless we go along with his plan. And knowing his mother, if he is at all like her, we wouldn't be able to get him to listen to us because of how hard headed he is'

Before Hana could voice her opinion Jiraiya yet again beat her to the punch and spoke "You have a deal Naruto, the Academy starts next Monday at seven sharp, dont be late"

"Hai Hokage sama"
