Chapter 10

A Royal Pain In The Ass

Hinata awoke later that evening to an empty bed, he must of left before she could wake up. Her head was spinning as she tried not to think of what just occurred as it would only serve to worry her and cause problems. It was not good she had basically slept with the enemy! However she pushed that thought out of her head for now it could trouble her later. However she was extremely grateful he had decided to leave while she was asleep she wasn't quite sure how she would face him.

She sighed as she stood up realizing she would have to somehow dress herself as her maid would be suspicious if she asked to be re-dressed. Picking the garment up she winced as her hidden dagger fell and clanked against the marble floor, she had completely forgotten about it and was instantly grateful that he was to busy undressing her to notice and was gone while she was re-dressing. She was shaken from her thoughts when a servant knocked on her door.

"Excuse me your highness but the king wishes to speak to you, he's in the throne room." Hinata opened the door grateful she had just dressed herself in time. "ah yes I shall head right down now, thank you for informing me" The servant curtsied before heading down the hall.

Hinata's anxiety increased with each step she took toward the throne room, the click of her heels seeming to thunderous by the time she finally reached the doors to the throne room. She took a deep breath before walking in and bowing to her father as he sat on the throne. "Father you wished to speak with me?"

"Ah yes, I have heard of Toneri of the moon kingdoms proposal and was hoping to hear your opinion on the matter" He gaze was cold and expectant, she knew what he wanted her to say 'oh yes father its wonderful father I couldn't be happier' however she couldn't bring herself to voice such a thing. Instead she managed a somewhat complacent

"I think he's very agreeable but I have never met him and I am unsure of his character" To this her father knitted his eyebrows together, an indicator that he was thinking as he looked straight at her.

"I see" a momentary pause before his features relaxed as though he had solved a puzzle. "then we shall have to invite him to the palace for a few days. Long enough that you should get to know him but not long enough that his Kingdom is missing him" With this he beckoned a nearby servant telling him to send a message to the moon kingdom straight away inviting the soon-to-be moon king to stay at the palace for a week. As soon as the servant he dismissed Hinata.

"There that should resolve your worries."

Hinata left the throne room with one thought in her head 'how am I going to tell Naruto'...

She waited at her rooms balcony knowing that sooner or later he would show up. The sun had began to set by the time she had decided to leave but just as she turned to open the door she felt a presence behind her.

"I hope you haven't been waiting to long on me I had business to attend." She turned to face him and jumped as she realized he was covered in blood.

"Um...w-what kind of business?" She reached out to touch him but stopped when she seen his eyes, gone was the sparkling sky blue and it had been replaced with a dull, cold dead look with tints of red instinctively she took a step back.

"Oh am don't worry about its nothing that a princess should worry her thoughts with" He laughed nervously as though seeing her scared had snapped him back to his usual self. Hinata was confused but decided not to question him on the matter, not now at least.

"Ah..I see..."

"Anything interesting happen today?"

'Only that I'm practically engaged!' she thought to herself. Unsure if she should tell him now since he was covered in blood and acting strangely. "Well do you remember earlier when my cousin came in and announced that I had received a marriage proposal?"

To this Naruto went totally still and silent merely nodding his head slightly.

Looking away she continued "Well my father heard of this new and has decided to invite prince Toneri to stay with us for the week, after we shall decide if he's a suitable match" With that Hinata chanced a glance in his direction, she could feel the anger rolling off him.

"N-naruto?" she questioned nervously.

"Do you think he will be a suitable match?" The question was scarily void of emotion.

"Well I have never met him before so I cannot say for certain...but I do know... well as wrong as it may be I seem to have some sort of feelings for you which um m-may be the cause of problems later..."
