Hey my faithful readers!

Sorry to keep you waiting, but here it is :D

OMG I decided to update all my chapters, and was so shocked to see all the rubbish in this one, it was literally unreadable – gomen

Chapter 7

The following morning Hinata woke up around five-thirty and packed everything she owned into about five scrolls and put them into her backpack. 'Why pack twice, I know I'm not coming back here anytime soon.'

When she closed the door behind her the only things in the room were the drapes and the dust in the corners. She left a note on Hanabi's door and took her leave without saying goodbye to her cold hearted father.

She took her time and walked to Naruto's house giving him some time to wake up.

Naruto heard a light knock on the door before he heard the lock click; he released a happy sigh when he recognised her chakra signature. He was very curious why she was there so early, she usually came by around eleven which gave him some extra time to train and get the house tidy.

He slipped on a pair of baggy pants and went to see what was going on down stairs.

Hinata heard him walk down stairs and turned to great him but had to hold back a gasp, she had trained with him shirtless but that was a huge field! This was just a small apartment, HIS apartment!

"Do you greet all of your guest half dressed?" she muttered. He raised his eyebrows in confusion, then she pointed at his chest and he got the picture.

"Hehehehe, nah... I usually don't get guest so early in the day, what's up?" he walked up to her and clasped her hand, gently rubbing her knuckles, admiring the ring on her elegant finger.

"I moved out." she said this causing him to run his fingers through his hair and ponder on what she said before voicing his opinion. "What's with the sudden move and where's your stuff?"

She sighed and went into the fridge. "Well more like kicked out but I left with a smile on my face, pride intact."

"Nani?!" Naruto plopped down on the couch and messaged his temples.

She then told him everything that happened last night in detail. He breathed slowly in order to keep his temper under control.

"Okay let me get this straight, you put your life at risk in two ways, AND had to move out because of it? Hinata don't yo-"

"You got one thing right Naruto, I have moved out of the Hyuuga house temporarily, but I will not lose to my father and that's a promise of a life time."

Naruto could remember word for word what she had told him prior but the thought of her getting sealed or dying in the spar made everything he stood for look like nothing. He didn't think he could survive without her by his side now that he finally got her.

He sighed loudly; he knew that no amount of arguing would change her mind. He thought his ways rubbed off on her a little too much. He quickly shook that thought away, he loved everything about her, she was cute, quiet, shy and even stubborn, but he loved her all the same.

"I believe in you hime, but I just don't want to see you get hurt." He got off the coach and walked towards her. "You have been here about twenty minutes and I haven't even hugged you, what's wrong with me...I must be going crazy!"

He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder, breathing in her lovely lavender scent. "Your welcomed to stay forever." he whispered into her ear, making her giggle.

"Thank you Naruto-kun." She blushed, he always knew what to say to make her feel better. "Don't you think you should put on a shirt, I would hope you don't answer the door like that to everyone?" she folded her arms and pouted.

He laughed, "You're probably right, but no one comes here this early unless it's for a mission so I wouldn't worry too much." At that moment a knock was heard at the door. "Or I could be wrong...Answer the door for me, I'll go get some clothes on." he grumbled as he took the stairs two at a time.

Hinata opened the door to come face to face with her cousin Neji." What are you doing here nii-San?" "I came to see how you were handling things since you didn't bother to inform me of your departure."

"Sorry about that, I just wanted to leave as soon as possible. Does this mean that you saw the letter I left Hanabi?" he nodded his head. "She would be here if she didn't have training with Hiashi-sama to attend."

"That's alright, we'll talk later, come inside." She stepped to the side to allow him in. She offered him some juice but he declined.

"May I ask why you left?" Neji's inquiry caused her to let out a low sigh. "For starters I was told to leave and secondly I would prefer not to get into it right now if you don't mind."

"That's understandable, I just hope I'll get an explanation soon." she smiled "That I can definitely do."

He looked around the house and wrinkled his nose. "And where does Lady Hinata propose she sleeps? On the couch or in his bed?"

Hinata blushed. "I didn't really think about all of that I was just so happy to leave that house, I brought everything I owned in the scrolls I have with me."

Neji raised his eyebrow questioningly, "This apartment isn't big enough to hold your bed, much more your other things."

Hinata looked around the room as if seeing it for the first time, the apartment was too small for both their stuff.

'When we get married, we're going to get a new place.' with a sigh she nodded her head in agreement. "Guess your right nii-san, what do you think I should do?"

Neji sat on the couch and thought for a moment before he came up with an idea. "How about you bring the scrolls with your clothes and things and stay in any of the guest rooms you want at my house. You can stay here or go where ever you want in the day and sleep there at night, that way you can train and then go about the rest of your day."

Hinata didn't really have to think about it at all, "That's a great idea! Thank you Nii-san" she gave him a tight squeeze. He resisted at first but soon hugged her just as tight.

"Around 1:30 I want to meet with everyone at Konoha park down by the river, I have something important to tell them, could you tell your Tenten and Lee?"

"Sure, see you around 1:30." they exchanged good byes and Neji was on his way. When Naruto sensed Neji was gone, he came down stairs.

"Um, can you do something for me Naruto-kun?" "Sure, what is it?" he said while rummaging through the cupboard for some ramen. "Can you make some shadow clones to inform the others that we want them to meet us at the park at 1:30?"

"Sure, why not?" He made some hand signs and ten Naruto clones appeared and ran out the door.

"So what should we do in the meantime?" Naruto said through a mouthful of ramen.

Hinata drummed her fingers across her chin and pondered a minute. "How about we go into town and buy some stuff for us to have a picnic in the park?"

Naruto smiled, "That sounds great Hinata! Let's go, we might be able to get some dango at the bakery fresh out the oven." With that he slurped off the rest of his ramen and followed Hinata out the door.
