Chapter 11: A Wedding?!

Previously:

"You see…I personally think Hanabi-Sama is more suitable to join the Main and Branch together, rather than Hinata-Sama…" the Elder shared his opinion.

Tenten sighed. "What am I to do…? Neji doesn't show any interest in me at all…"

"What?! Hanabi-Sama and I?!" Neji gasped. Engaged?! What's going on…?!

She shook her head. "No, no, Hinata you can't think like that! Neji-Nii san doesn't believe in things like love!"

Young Neji grinned. "Yeah, I really do! Because then the Hyuuga Main and Branch don't have to be separated anymore! And that means the Branch doesn't have to suffer from the curse mark!" Neji pointed to his forehead.

His Father whispered into his ear, "In order to achieve that goal…you must marry Hinata-Sama."

Neji turned around, and started to make his way back to the Hyuuga Mansion. If Hinata-Sama and I were ever to be engaged…then I would definitely take the chance to make her mine.

"Whaaaaaaattt?! Neji and I are going to marry each other?!" gasped Hanabi, Hinata's little sister.

"Yes, and it's not marriage, it's an engagement."

"Same thing!" she flicked her hair. "But who decided this?"

"The Elders, of course." smiled the elder whom was speaking to the little girl.

"Why Neji?" pouted Hanabi.

"Who were you hoping it to be?"

"No one~!"

"We chose Neji because he is a prodigy of the Hyuuga clan, and you are one yourself, unlike your older sister." Explained the Elder, and added a tad of bitterness at the end.

"Hmm…I see." Hanabi walked away, thinking about this new matter that popped up. Neji…he's strong, has a cool personality…and good looking. Hanabi smirked. I think I'll start calling him Neji-Nii Sama from now on!

Neji sighed. "I suppose I should tell Hiashi-Sama what I overheard from the Elders…" He walked through the Hyuuga Corridors, and saw a hurried Clan Leader. Speak of the devil. "Hiashi-Sama!"

Hiashi halted, and looked. He saw his Nephew approaching him. "What is it Neji?"

"I have something to discuss with you. You see-"

Hiashi shook his head. "I'm sorry Neji, but it'll have to wait. I'm about to attend to a very important meeting."

"Ah…of course. Take care then." He bowed, and watched the Head rush away. What bad timing…

He heard running footsteps, and he turned to see a flustered Hanabi, scurrying all over the Hyuuga Mansion. What is the little Main member doing…? Neji raised an eyebrow.

Ko Hyuuga ran after her. "Hanabi-Sama, please slow down…!"

"I can't, Ko! I'm in a rush! It feels like there's so little time!" she yelled back.

"Little time?" blinked the confused adult.

"For the wedding, Ko! The wedding!"

Neji frowned. "A wedding…? Hope it's not mine."

Hanabi abruptly stopped, when she saw her 'fiancé'. "A-Ah!"

"Hm?" Neji glanced at the petite sister.

Her face immediately reddened, and she speedily ran away. Neji-Sama's handsome face…! And the way he coolly said 'Hm'!

"Did I do something wrong…?" He cocked his head to the side. My, she sure is a fast one.

"Okay, I have something to say." announced Ino, as she looked into the other three girls' eyes.

Tenten leaned in, "I'm listening."

Hinata just blinked, waiting for her announcement.

Sakura sipped her tea.

The four girls were having another girl hangout, only for the morning until early afternoon.

Ino stood up, and pointed at Sakura. "Haruno Sakura, I think you should hurry up and be Naruto's girlfriend!"

"Nani?! But, what about Sasuke-Kun?!" gasped Sakura.

Tenten raised her hand. "Haha, I agree with Ino!"

Hinata thought about this. Naruto-Kun and Sakura-San…?

"Oh, who cares about Sasuke-Kun! That guy is a heartbreaker, and I realized that once I had started dating Shikamaru! I'm sure you'll know what I mean, if you just give Naruto a chance." replied Ino.

Sakura worried glanced at Hinata. "But Hinata…"

"Eh? What about me?" Hinata smiled at the girls.

"Ah…I forgot about that…" mumbled Ino.

"Hinata, don't you have a childhood crush on Naruto?" asked Tenten.

"C-C-C-Crush?!" Hinata stuttered.

The three nodded. "It's dead obvious."

The Hyuuga Heiress shook her head madly, and waved her hands in front of her. "No, no! I don't have a c-crush on N-Naruto-Kun!"

"You're still stuttering." pointed out Ino.

"It's true!" exclaimed Hinata.

"So…it's okay if I go out with Naruto then?" questioned Sakura.

"Of course it is!" nodded the shy girl.

"Then if you don't like Naruto anymore, then who do you like?" Tenten looked at her, curiously.

"I like s-someone else-" Hinata quickly put her hands over her mouth, stopping herself from speaking another word.

Ino nudged Hinata. "Oh? Oh? Oh? Do tell!"

Sakura leaned in, "A new crush?! Who is it this time?!"

Tenten couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Hinata, is it someone we know?"

Hinata closed her eyes, and she kept shaking her head. "I keep telling you, it's a secret!"

"Aw, Hinata don't be like that~!" pouted Sakura.

"A secret!"

"Well, first things first-is he hot?" smirked Ino.

"Himitsu!"

"What's his personality like?" Tenten was sooo curious now.

"I already said, I'm not saying anything!" Hinata ran out of Sakura's house.

"…She ran out on us." murmured the three girls, glumly.

Hyuuga Hinata decided to train by herself, at the Third Training Ground area.

I can't believe I nearly told them who I liked! What should I do? They're most likely going to bug me about it later…or even do strange things in order to find out who it is! I've already started digging my own grave, haven't I…?

She sighed, as she hit the wooden stump.

"Oi, Hinata!" a male voice called out to her.

The young girl turned, and saw her teammates coming to greet her. "Hai?"

"Come with us." said Shino, quietly.

"Eh? Why? And to where?"

Kiba looked at her, while walking. "Ino said she's got something to tell all of us, so we're all heading to Konoha Park.

"All of us?" Don't tell me she's going to tell everyone that I've stopped liking Naruto-Kun, and fallen for someone else instead…

"You know, Team 1, Team 7, us, and Team 10."

"I-I see…" She had a bad feeling about this.

Moments later, everyone had arrived at the destination. Well, mostly everyone. Chouji was the last; munching on some chips, while leisurely walking up to the group. "Hey guys, what's up?"

Ino folded her arms. "Why are you ALWAYS the last to arrive?"

"Hahaha sorry." He scratched the back of his head.

"About time." mumbled Shino.

Neji glared at Ino. "Well? What is it you wanted to tell us?"

"Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but I've been hearing some rumors from our customers at the flower shop." Ino glanced at all of them.

"Rumors?" blinked Lee.

"Like what?" questioned Tenten, as she tilted her head to the side.

"It's about Hinata…"

Hinata was taken aback. She really IS going to tell them about my change of heart! "W-Wait, it's not true! I mean, it is, but-"

Shikamaru frowned. "Hinata what are you going on about?"

"Um…y-you know!" she started to panic.

"We know what?" asked Naruto.

"Uh…Erm…"

Ino winked at Hinata. "You didn't need to interrupt me, I wasn't finished speaking!"

"E-Eh?"

"As I was saying, it's about Hinata's little sister. Hanabi, I think?" Ino continued.

Oh phew… Hinata sighed a sigh of relief. I was panicking over nothing…!

"!" Neji immediately tuned in. "What about Hanabi-Sama?" Could this be related to what happened this morning?

Ino's eyes flickered from side to side. "It's a really strange rumor, you see, it's-"

Just at that moment, the little Hyuuga sister came running up to the group, yelling, "NEJI-NII SAMA!"

The whole group gasped. "NII SAMA?!"

Hanabi saw the group all giving her a shocked look, so she quickly hid behind Neji.

Neji raised an eyebrow. Since when was she so attached to ME? "Erm…Hanabi-Sama? What are you doing here?"

Ino sighed. "Why does everyone interrupt me?" And it's always the Hyuugas too…

"You know about it, don't you?" Hanabi tugged onto Neji's arm.

"Huh? Know about what?" Neji looked at the shorter Hyuuga's face.

She giggled. "We're officially engaged!"

Everyone's eyes widened. "WHAT?!"

Hinata gasped. Hanabi…engaged to Neji-Nii San?!

-End Of Chapter 11-


Japanese Translations:

Nani-What

Himitsu-Secret

Hai-Yes

Just quickly saying, before anyone gets the wrong idea-I DO NOT support Neji x Hanabi! We've made things clear now, right? Yeah, you heard me, I DO NOT support it. :) (Why else would I be writing a NejiHina fic? o.O)
