As you should know by now, I do not own Naruto okay? I am sorry for the late update for anyone who loved this fic. I've just been busy making my jewelry I sell at a local flea market. I make bottle cap bracelets and keychains to sell. If you want to know more, PM me. Anyway, I am working on more chapters, so keep an eye out. Enough of this A/N, on with the fic!

PS: I would like to thank hinata-fan-2 for giving me motivation to work on this chapter some more! Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic! For real!

"Father, I don't know if your plan will work…" Hanabi sighed as she looked over her father's shoulder. "You know all too well, you cannot get Hinata and Sasuke on a mission together. She is a sensei and he is a police officer. You know it would be hard to come up with something believable." Hanabi said putting emphasis on believable. She knew her father could be very determined when he wanted to.

"It had better." Hiashi said. "The village needs the power of the Byakugan and Sharingan to be at its peak. Both have fatal flaws that could be fixed by combining the power of the two."

"I know father," Hanabi sighed. "But what exactly would be the benefits from the combination of the two?"

"Well, for one, the Byakugan would help slow down vision loss the Sharingan can cause. How many blind Hyuugas do you know of?" Hiashi explained.

"Great Uncle Ichigo?" Hanabi asked.

"But that wasn't from the Byakugan, he got two shuriken in his eyes, you know that Hanabi." Hiashi sighed putting his face in his palm.

"Well, you asked father and I told you." Hanabi said with a smile.

"Yes, well I should have been more precise on what I meant." Hiashi said. "But what I was trying to mean was that no Hyuugas suffered blindness from direct effects of the Byakugan. When Fugaku and I were arranging the marriage in the first place, he mentioned how some Uchihas went blind from overuse of the Sharingan. He was concerned children would go blind. I assured him that the chances would be slim of children being born blind. Hyuugas are more apt to handle their eye jutsus than Uchihas are, if I may say so myself."

"Oh." Hanabi said nodding. "So what you are saying is the Byakugan could stabilize the Sharingan and you want Sasuke and Hinata to have some sort of super-eye-jutsu baby?"

"You make it sound so horrible Hanabi." Hiashi said. "Anyway, I need to get Sasuke and Hinata in love before December, which means we have about four months to make them fall in love. However, Sasuke is really in love with Sakura and Hinata loves Naruto. I do not know how I could pull them apart."

Hanabi sighed. She knew her father was one who was determined when it came to arrangements and clan matters. Hanabi knew that she was going to be sister-in-law with Sasuke Uchiha by the end of the year. I wonder what Naruto will do when he is Hokage. I know he will not be made Hokage until after Hinata's 20th birthday, but by then she will be married to Sasuke. Sasuke is Naruto's best friend and won't blame him, but he will impose strict acts against Father. I do not know what he will do to me, but I do not think it would be good. Hanabi thought as she picked up a kunai and went to train with it to see if she could pour the power of the gentle fist style through it.

Hiashi finished up his request, rolled up the scroll, and walked up to the Hokage's office with the mission. Hiashi was a top member in Konoha's society so he could get this mission passed and have Sasuke and Hinata on it. He decided on setting up a mission that would play up to both of their occupations. Hinata is a sensei to new genin and Sasuke is a police officer, this mission would be good under the guise of helping Hinata train her new genin with Sasuke. I mean, as an Uchiha and member of the Konoha Military Police force he has to know some things that would help out Hinata's squad. Hiashi thought as he handed in the mission request to Iruka.

"You have a mission for us?" Iruka said as he unrolled the scroll. "Oh, Naruto's not going to like this mission one bit…"

"Why not?" Hiashi asked, although he had a good feeling why he would not.

"Naruto is already on bad terms with Sasuke at the moment." Iruka said. "He said it was something about Sasuke trying to come onto Hinata. He said Sasuke said it was some sort of arranged marriage thing. He's never been so mad at him…"

"Well, from what my daughter Hinata has been telling me, her team could use some training and she has also told me about how Sasuke is tired of the tedium of the office. He is looking for something new to do, and I thought he could have some fun training new genin. I personally thought he would have made a good sensei, but he wanted to go into the police force. Makes sense really." Hiashi said, striking up a conversation with Iruka.

"Well, I see no reason why this mission cannot be done." Iruka said. "I will have Sasuke summoned immediately. Hinata will be coming back soon. Her squad is soon to come back from capturing the Lord of the Land of Fire's wife's cat. I do not know how many times new genin have had to rescue that cat."

"Ah." Hiashi said nodding, listening intently on the conversation. "Well, an overnight trip with Sasuke should whip those new genin into shape. I mean we all know how skilled Sasuke is. I wonder why he did not go into ANBU like Naruto…"

"Well…" Iruka said as Hiashi nodded.

Hiashi knew Sasuke's brother Itachi was captain of the ANBU before he slaughtered the clan. Hiashi guessed Sasuke would not want anything to remind him of Itachi, and with him being a former captain of the ANBU, it would be hard not to be reminded of it. Hiashi also knew that the Uchiha clan had founded the police force in the first place. Sasuke was proud of the Uchiha, so the police force was a natural fit for him. Nearly every Uchiha was in it before the massacre. Soon, a knock was heard on the door.

"Come in." Iruka said.

"Oh, hello Iruka-sensei." Sakura said as she opened the door. "Oh, hello to you too Hyuuga Hiashi." Sakura said politely, although she had a note of annoyed disgust in her voice. "Hinata's squad is back. They found the cat. Kentaro had a few nasty scratches Hinata healed up quite nicely. They are ready for their next mission."

"Good." Iruka said. "Let Lady Tsunade know the mission will be ready soon. Have Hinata and her squad stay around here for a few minutes. I have someone to call over here."

"Oh that's good." Sakura said closing the door. "I'll let Hinata know."

"See you later Sakura!" Iruka said. As Sakura closed the door, Iruka turned to Hiashi. "I didn't tell her everything. I would hate to see the look on her face when I tell her Hinata is going to be on an overnight mission with her boyfriend. I am I correct in assuming she knows about the marriage plans?" Iruka asked.

"Yes." Hiashi said.

"I knew you were secretly trying to bring Sasuke and Hinata closer." Iruka said shaking his head. "However, after two major invasions in the past six years, I think the time is ripe for a combination of the Sharingan and Byakugan. In addition, Sasuke and Hinata would be cute together. Think about it. I remember she was the only girl who DID NOT obsess over him in the academy."

"I know." Hiashi said. "Well, let me know when you do get them going."

"I will send for Sasuke now." Iruka said as he sent for a messenger. "Don't worry Hiashi, I think this might work out after all."

"I hope so. For all involved. Anyway Iruka, I will be taking my leave now." Hiashi said as he left, shutting the door.

"Farewell, Hyuuga Hiashi." Iruka said as the door shut.

(Page Break to Konoha Military Police force Headquarters.)

"Uchiha!" Renji Yagami said as the messenger arrived. "You have a special messenger from the Hokage's office! Come out here right now!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming…" Sasuke sighed as he headed out. "Now what is it?"

"A messenger, from the Hokage's office." Renji Yagami said.

"Yes?" Sasuke asked turning to the messenger.

"Sir! I am ordered to tell you that you are requested to help train a new squad of genin in an overnight mission. You are to meet them as soon as possible; they are waiting for you at the Hokage's office." The messenger said as he saluted Sasuke and walked away.

"Sir?" Sasuke asked as he turned to Renji Yagami and saw him motion for him to leave.

"It's from higher up than me Uchiha; I can't say anything about it. Now go." He said.

"Okay." Sasuke said as he headed to the Hokage's office.

What is it this time? Did Hiashi manage to make a mission where Hinata and I have to have kids and get married? I know that would be something he would do… Sasuke thought as he passed Ichiraku on the way to the Hokage's office. There he saw Naruto eating his usual ramen and giving him a look of utmost jealousy over Hinata. Naruto cracked his knuckles as Sasuke walked by. That idiot will never get over this will he? I have little interest in Hinata. She is a nice person and all, but I do not like her like that. He is going to kill me by the time all of this is over. Sasuke looked at his feet, thinking of all what was going to happen and how things were being shook up all around him. There was no way to avoid it all, but he knew somehow, someway, things would work out. If nothing else, I will restore the Uchiha clan. Sasuke thought with a little note of happiness, as if there was a positive aspect to having Sakura ripped away from him.

As he walked though the door of the Hokage's office, a familiar voice was heard. "Oh, Sasuke-kun is here!"

"Hinata? Your squad is the one I am helping train?" Sasuke said.

"I guess so." Hinata said.

"Sasuke! Hinata! You know the mission. You are requested to head out to the Forest of Death and train Hinata's new genin on how to fight better. Sasuke, you were called because the village feels you will be the best assistant to train these genin. No offence Hinata." Tsunade explained exasperated from her desk.

"No offence taken Lady Tsunade." Hinata bowed. "I have always thought Kentaro, Teppi, and Suguri needed something to increase their nerve."

"Yes." Tsunade said. "Sasuke will be a major help too. Now, go fetch your squad Hinata and take Sasuke with you. Now! Go!"

"Yes Lady Tsunade!" Sasuke and Hinata said bowing as they left her office. Once outside, they walked to the academy grounds with an awkward silence. Hinata and Sasuke knew the real reason of this trip into the Forest of Death. They knew Hiashi had ordered it to push them together. He was hoping to create some chemistry under the guise of a mission. Just before they had gotten to the academy, Sasuke whispered something

"Sorry, I didn't hear you. What did you say Sasuke?" Hinata said.

"I was saying something about Sakura acting like she's on pins and needles lately. She spends a lot of time with Naruto trying to find a way out of our marriage. Don't take this the wrong way Hinata, I mean you are a wonderful kunochi, I respect your skills, but I couldn't imagine what being married to you would be like." Sasuke said. "I honestly don't want to marry you."

"Oh I understand." Hinata said as she turned the corner to the academy grounds. "I do not really want to marry you either. Especially knowing our father arranged it so the Byakugan and Sharingan would be combined. I hate seeming like some kind of breeding project for the village."

"It does sound rather like farm animal breeding, but have you ever wondered what it would be like it the Sharingan and Byakugan were combined?" Sasuke said. "360 degree vision and you can see what your opponent is going to do."

"And the Byakugan might cancel or at least slow down Sharingan induced blindness." Hinata said. Sasuke looked over at Hinata with a scandalous look. "Oh, father told me about that when I was over at the Hyuuga compound yesterday. There has been no Hyuuga who went blind due to ill effects of the Byakugan."

"That would be good." Sasuke said. Well at least good now that I killed Itachi. Part of the reason I won was because he was nearly blind when I fought him. Sasuke thought admitting the fact if Itachi was at full strength, he would not be there worrying about finding a way to keep Sakura with him. Once they reached the academy, Sasuke stood by the gate as Hinata went to meet up with her squad of genin. As he looked upon Hinata telling her, genin what toe expect out of this training mission, he could not help but smile. You have to admit, she can hold her own pretty well. I could be the patriarch of a new Uchiha clan with an ocular power that cannot be surpassed. The Byakugan is stronger than the Sharingan. Maybe if the power was combined, genjutsu could be cast in nearly 360 degrees. Think of it. Sasuke thought as Hinata walked over to him, with her team of genin in tow.

"Sasuke! Let's go." Hinata said as she motioned to him to follow her. "You know I can't handle Kentaro, Teppi, and Suguri all by myself in the Forest of Death. No way am I recommending them for the Chunin exams now."

"I understand." Sasuke nodded as he walked after her.

"What is Officer Uchiha Sasuke doing with us?" Kentaro said with a moan. "I didn't do anything."

"You never do." Teppi sighed.

"Well, Kentaro, I am here to help you guys improve your skills. Your sensei is good, but I can teach you some things that she cannot so well. Lady Tsunade herself asked for me to help you." Saskue said. Well, I cannot say to these kids 'your sensei and I are in an arranged marriage and her father is making us do this in an effort to get her to dump her soon-to-be Hokage boyfriend and get me to ditch my wonderful medic Nin girlfriend.' Sasuke thought as he walked up to the gate to the Forest of Death and opened the lock. "And as a member of the Konoha Military Police force, I have access to the Forest of Death beyond what your sensei has."

"Why are you doing this?" Suguri asked as she walked into the Forest of Death.

"A few years ago, I don't know if you would remember, but Konoha was invaded by Orochimaru and his henchmen and three years later invaded again by the Akatsuki. Both times, many good Nin were killed. The village decided to give our genin more nerve this way." Hinata sighed as Sasuke walked in behind her. "Isn't that right Sasuke?" Hinata said as she looked over him. He had a distant look on his face.

"Yes Hinata-chan." Sasuke said as he nodded. It was during the Akatsuki invasion of Konoha that he killed Itachi. Even though he was avenging his clan, Sasuke still could not live well with the fact. He had nightmares where he would in a sea of Itachi's blood and it would not come off of him. He never told anyone about it, but Sakura knew and Hinata could tell something was wrong. "Anyway, let's get on with this mission." Sasuke said as he led them on.

Well how was it? Good? Bad? Sucky? If you read chapter 1, you would know that this is slightly AU and started before the truth about Itachi was out. So I figured, modify cannon to fit. In addition, anyone who knows their literature well will know the nightmare is similar to Lady Macbeth's in Macbeth. Anyway, remember to read, well you just did, and to review.
