Author-sama: Hina-bae, do the disclaimer?

Hinata: Kakashi-sensei... Don't be so mean...

Author-sama: Grrr... Fine. Shino!

Shino: Author-sama does not, but regretfully so, own Naruto.

(A/N: I'm back!!!! Ugh... That was the longest week of my life... I barely had time to write my story...

Moral of the story: I can't survive without internet...)

It had been about a week since Hinata was sent to her own timeline and word quickly spread around Konoha, the villagers' whispers could be heard everywhere.

'Hyuga Hinata is alive?'

'They say she came from the past... Is it true?'

'Was her death fake?'

They all had questions, but none were answered, but no matter. Hyuga Hinata was alive and well, and they all were ecstatic.

Right now, Hinata was lying on a hospital bed, unconscious, a sleeping Kakashi sitting next to her in a hospital chair. This is how Tsunade found them both, she walked in to check Hinata's vitals, but instead found Kakashi with her. Again.

Tsunade had told Kakashi to go home and rest, but he didn't listen. She knew he loved her and she loved him, she accepted that fact and would support them, even with the age gap.

Tsunade had been having a hard time keeping Hinata's friends out of her hospital room as of late, Naruto, Tenten, and Neji especially. Luckily, Naruto had been sent on a short mission... One less person to to watch out for.

Tsunade could barely contain her own excitement as she had missed the young Hyuga terribly, she was glad to have Hinata home and safe.

But now, she had to do something about Danzo becoming Hokage...

Elsewhere

Sasuke looked at Danzo's dead body and smiled manically, suddenly, he felt another presence and turned around to find Sakura standing behind him crying, a kunai in hand, aimed right over his heart.

"Sakura."

Sakura jumped and looked at Sasuke with wide eyes, tears still falling. "Sasuke-kun..." Her voice was shaky, her apple green eyes wide, fear swimming in them. Sasuke looked at her in disgust, only one word went through his head.

'Pathetic.'

Sasuke scowled at her and grabbed her neck, causing her to lose her grip on the kunai she held. Sasuke grabbed it and threw Sakura back, he then ran at her, kunai brandished, but she was grabbed out of his reach the blonde Uzumaki. Sasuke grimaced, he was hoping Naruto wouldn't show up..

"Naruto..."

In Konoha

Kakashi woke up with a slight groan, the sun making him squint his eyes. He blinked the sleep from his eyes and scanned the hospital room he fell asleep in for the third night in a row, Kakashi sighed and ran his fingers through his unkempt silver hair.

'I'm acting like a love sick, hormonal teenager... There's no guarantee she'll even remember what happened in the past. Kakashi, you need to let go of your ridiculous love for her...'

Kakashi sighedand looked at the sleeping, blue haired beauty. He couldn't take it. The Hatake leaned down and pulled his mask off and pressed his lips against Hinata's, he had to. Just one last time...

Unfortunately, Hinata woke up right as Kakashi pressed his exposed lips against hers, her lavender tinted eyes widened in shock, until she saw the tilted Konoha headband. Slowly she responded to the kiss, startling Kakashi in the process.

"Hinata...?" Hinata gazed up at him, her eyes glazed over slightly. "Kakashi..." The sliver haired male's heart skipped a beat at her voice, but he swallowed his feelings.

"It's Sensei, Hinata."

Hinata could've swore she heard her heart crack at his detached, cold tone. She could see in his one eye that he didn't mean it, but... It still hurt... "Kakashi. I know you. You don't mean that, why are you saying it then?"

It took everything in Kakashi's power to not apologize and pull her into a bone crushing hug, but he stood strong. He couldn't tarnish her name like that. "If you know me, then you should know not to question me."

Hinata felt another crack, his words were like arrows, piercing her heart with each blow. Tears formed in her eyes and blurred her vision, "Shut up! Explain yourself, Kakashi! I deserve an explanation!"

Kakashi raised his hand and placed it against her cheek, his heart ached when she flinched from his touch. "I know that we had something in the past, but... We can't now. I'm an old man, I can't tarnish your name like tha-"

Kakashi was cut off by a harsh slap, he opened his eyes and saw someone he didn't expect to be glaring down at him.

Tsunade.

Her eyes were hard, unwavering. "Hatake Kakashi. I certainly hope you are joking, and not serious about breaking my little girl's heart. After all she went through." Kakashi stared at her with a wide eye. She supported their relationship?

"Tsunade-sama... With all do respect, what would be of her Hyuga name? Hiashi surely won't accept this." Tsunade's frown turned into a shit-eating grin as Kakashi finished his sentence.

"I doubt the Hyuga would deny an arranged marriage with the great Copy Nin of Konoha."

Elsewhere

Obito took Sasuke back to the hideout after the run in with the nine tails jinchuuriki and his little friend, but when they arrived at the hideout there was someone waiting for them. Obito sneered from under his mask and growled out, "Kabuto."

The Orochimaru copy smiled crookedly, "Ah, no need to be so aggressive, Madara Uchiha." Obito glared at Kabuto and gave Sasuke a look, ordering him inside. Sasuke shrugged a shoulder and casually strolled through the entrance of the cave.

Obito turned back to Kabuto, grimaced as Kabuto's scaly face was revealed from under his mask. "What do you want, snake?"

Kabuto smirked and giggled slightly, "Just a jutsu that can turn the tides of the war you started..." He then proceeded to make a series of hand signs, then slammed his hand on the ground.

A few moments later, multiple coffins sprung up from the ground. The largest one in front of the others, Obito made no move, wondering what was to come next.

Kabuto smiled wickedly once more before he dropped the door of the coffin in front, "This is my prized possession... You should know who this is... Right, Madara-sama?"

Obito froze, in the coffin, stood the original Uchiha Madara.

In Konoha

Many of Hinata's friends filed into her hospital room, giving her flowers, candies, and other gifts that made her day. Neji, Kiba, Shino, Kurenai and Tenten hadn't left her side since Tsunade had allowed them entrance to her room, thy had told her Naruto wouldn't be able to visit because of an incident with Sasuke, long story short, Naruto was poisoned. Luckily, it wasn't life threatening, but he would be out for at least a day.

Right now, Hinata was conversing with her friends, but her mind was wandering to the silver haired ninja who had left earlier.

-Flashback-

"I doubt the Hyuga would deny an arranged marriage with the great Copy Nin of Konoha."

Kakashi froze, a hopeful gleam in his eye, but that feeling was quickly squashed as he thought about the consequences.

"Tsunade-sama, I can't. Even if I agreed, the Hyuga would ask why. Do you even have a valid reason as to why we would be wed?"

Tsunade looked offended, but smirk appeared on her face nonetheless. "Of course I have a plan. The Hyuga wouldn't deny possibly gaining access to the Sharingan, also, Hinata needs someone to protect her, and you can do both of that."

Kakashi only stood up and left the room, but not before giving Hinata a longing gaze. He then jumped out of the window without a word.

-Flashback End-

Hinata hadn't seen him since then, but couldn't help be feel a little guilty for yelling at him, he was only doing it to protect her, but she was only being selfish.

Hinata was broken out of her thoughts wen the door slammed open and in walked her father and Tsunade. Hinata looked at her father who sped over to her and pulled her into a hug, surprising everyone in the room.

Tsunade cleared her throat and everyone but Tsunade and Hiashi left, Hinata slowly hugged her father back, still in shock, but was broke out of her shock when her father pulled from the hug and spoke.

"Hinata, Tsunade and I have come to an agreement. You are to marry Hatake Kakashi in two months time. We have already spoken to him and he accepted. I understand the age difference is... Overwhelming, but with this, the Hyuga could gain the Sharingan."

'Ah, so that's why he agreed...' Hinata thought bitterly and stared into space as the two left her room, Hinata lied back on her bed, still deep in thought. Tomorrow she would be discharged, and she had to talk to Kakashi.
