-1Hinata's Viewpoint

I sat alone in my room wondering if they were even alive. I held out on the single hope that at least if I couldn't marry Naruto I could at least know wither he lived or not. All I know is that if there are alive they've got a small time window. Tomorrow I'm getting married. You see Hyuuga weddings aren't like normal wedding you see right after all the ceremonies they have another one privately to brand a mark on you to keep you from getting a divorce which will cause pain if you even try it. Once I say "I Do." it's all over.

I didn't find out about the mark thing until I heard Hiashi and Neji confiding in a small room. So my plan to divorce after marriage was flawed. I hoped and prayed that they were alive and had a well thought out plan. The very next morning I woke up to a swirling vortex of chaos. Bathe, hair, makeup, dressing and fixing my dress. I only had an hour and I was pacing.

Naruto's View

Hinata just hold on were coming and we've got a plan. First we stranded the caterers then Chouji faked his voice and called them telling the caterers were having problems and we were the back ups. Then we told him that we had a gimmick that we wore mask and there was a game you had to play. They said that would be fine, we put our disguises on then hopped in the van. After ten minutes we were there.

Everyone got out and knocked out the people directing us on where to go. We worked our way around the hallways to the kitchen knocking out anyone in the way. We got towards the front door leading outside when we heard "here comes the bride." Playing on the piano. We found the right spots to be unnoticed outside. I looked at Hinata she looked stunning in that dress as she walked up the isle. She stopped in front of the preacher.

"We gather here today at the face of God to unite this man and this woman in the sacred vow of holy matrimony, if anyone has any objections to why these two should not be wed speak now or forever hold your piece." There was my cue.

"I object!" I yelled everyone gasped and looked behind them.

"Who objects?"

"Naruto Uzamaki!" I said whipping off my face mask. "He can't marry her because she loves me and I love her and him he's just a pawn in this sick game the Hyuuga's play."

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata called out tearing up. "Your alive!"

Hiashi walked up fuming with intense anger. I put the point of a kunai into his back feelings some blood trickle to my hand.

"A bet was a bet."

"My words are hollow to the likes of you." I pushed it in more. "ANBU!"

"Shit!!!!!" I had not planned for ANBU forces. "Hiashi I will fight until death to be with Hinata I never back down on my word so you might as well give up."

"Fine take my daughter I'll see to it you both are killed if she's with a demon she's no better then the demon, she means nothing to me." I saw ANBU coming down from the trees. Gaara grabbed Hinata we all took off back to the village. Ten-Ten and Temari tried to defend us in the forest attempting to hold them off. Everyone packed up what we were going to need.

Now all we are is running fugitives. The few of us who had nothing to pack stood guard in the square of town. I looked at Hinata I brushed some hair out of her face.

"Hinata I'm sorry I've dragged you into the same fate."

"Naruto don't be sad I'm dieing the way I've wanted to being free with the one I love. Being a criminal with you is better then being an heiress with them." I had to say I was stunned.

"You'd leave everything behind for me?"

"Everything for you." We kissed everyone else looked ready to leave this hell hole.

I finished kissing and spoke. "Guys remember we're a team together we fight together we die together alright!" Then I glanced at Hinata a wedding dress didn't seem appropriate for a outsider. "You're not quite an outsider yet." She undid her hair Kankuro found a pair of ripped up blue jeans, a black T-shirt and a denim jacket.

"Much better" Everyone agreed. She did an air punch.

"Lets blow this joint!" We tore out of there like bottle rockets. We all had history, but most of it was history you wouldn't want to keep just memories of pain, exclusion and exile only two good memories ever happened there. Love and friendship. Well there's not much going on just running through the trees. I started having a memory trip of our first day there.

We all felt alone desperate uncared about I think some people started crying. I comforted everyone. The next day I just became the leader I helped everyone move on. We all decided to fix the town up and live there. About a week in when we had two buildings running Gaara, Temari and Kankuro showed up.

"They exiled Gaara we couldn't leave him alone, we heard some rumors you had a safe haven." At this point Gaara was very distanced from other people.

"We would like to join." His voice then gave me chills.

"We accept all here."

"thanks." They all nodded. In over a month we had everything except the bar running. We didn't get the bar until a few years ago. We just decided to drink legally. Other then every day became the same nothing really changed until Hinata came in. I snapped from the past back into reality.

It was already dark outside. I helped a few others set up camp then Temari sent me and Gaara out to gather firewood.

"Naruto… look I understand and support your love of Hinata but it's cost everyone here a lot , you tore them apart from a home."

"Gaara I know but love makes a person do crazy things."

"I know."

"what how?" He swung his axe in. I chopped into a log.

"Before I left my village I had a girlfriend we were in love just the same as you and Hinata. Then I was cast out of the village and I'm certain they'll killed her because of me. That's why the first year with you guys I distanced myself from everyone I wish I could of told her goodbye and 'I love you.' one more time." I wanted to say something but I wasn't sure about what to say. "Don't feel sorry for me, just be grateful you have Hinata."

"I couldn't be more grateful about the sacrifices everyone made for us."

"Good your not like me….." He brought the axe again into the wood. "You wouldn't want to." We didn't speak until we had gathered another wood for the fireplace.

"Gaara I'm glad we came to the town."

"Me to my life changed so much after that, that's something I don't think I would of lived much longer without." I smiled then we did our secret handshake thing we had. Weird story one day in the town we had nothing to do so came up with it. I'm surprised we could remember. We walked carrying the wood back to the camp site. We sat down wiped our foreheads and sat down where the fire pit would be.

Temari arrived with a 8 point deer.

"Females are the providers we hunt." She said as she flexed her muscles. Most people rolled their eyes especially Kankuro. We started a fire, roasted deer is the best. Apparently Temari also saved the liquor since every cheered and I saw a bottle of gin, tequila, scotch, rum and beer. Since I had no interest in any of the ones she saved me and Hinata walked away from the group, for some privacy.

They must of understood because no body bothered us. We just stared into each others eyes for a long time. There was nothing wrong with it just something we'd only done once. I wanted to kiss her again but I wasn't so sure is she wanted to. She must have been reading my mind because she leaned into me and kissed me. Our kisses were no ordinary kisses they were perfect and blessed, I always feel her presence all around me, it always seemed like I could hold her just the way she liked and it sent a message to both of us telling us we were meant to be together.

Sadly I know we won't hold out forever the ANBU are fast, strong, resourceful, crafty and determined. My thought is always 'Make your time together last'. After the most glorified 2 minutes of my life side note knock it off you perverts we at last went back to camp.

I have a strong feeling Kankuro is a huge pervert.

"Guys I only have one more sleeping bag."

"You're a pervert." Was all I replied with.

"I know"

"Hinata do you want it?" She blinked like I had asked the dumbest question on earth.

"Why can't we share?" How do you fight that logic?

"Why not." She got in first I snuggled in next. I put my arms around her protectively and lovingly. Gaara was up in a tree watching for ANBU. Now that I remember his room was just an extension of his office papers and files the bed looked as if it was never used. I've never seen sleep or heard him snore. Creepy. I think it has something to do with his sand demon. I had never actually perused the question.

Hinata moved my hands apparently where it was more comfortable for her. Then I shut my eyes and rifted into sleep. So much easier when I'm next to her. I had one of the best dreams of my life: besides the one where I was surrounded by ramen, I wished it was real. Me and Hinata were free to love and we didn't have to run like fugitives. We finally got married a big ceremony and she was in an amazing dress. We bought a house and she had two kids they started running in the back yard smiling. I never wanted to wake up from this dream. An unreachable fantasy.

Why is it when you only want one thing in life it's the one thing you can't have? That's the only question I ask about life, all I ever wanted was to be able to be with Hinata forever and to be accepted.
