I threw open the door breathlessy. Neji stood on the porch and impatient look on his face.

"Come on." he ordered as he began walking.

I had slept late and it took me awhile to get ready. The entire time Neji had been waiting outside for me.We walked to school toghther sometimes.

"N-Neji could you w-wait up?" I called as I ran to catch up with him. I was only a few feet away from him when he stopped abruptly causing me to bump into him.

"S-sorry." I said, trying to catch my breath.

"You know, Hinata," Neji began, turning his head slightly and looking at me from the corner of his eye. "..you are good actor, or does Sasuke really make you breathless?"

I froze. It seemed like everything around me went white before scenes from yesterday played before me.

"Keep up!" Neji called. His voice startled me and brought me back to reality. He was now far ahead of me. I began running to catch up.

I was having a hard time paying attention in class. I could feel the evil stares from the girls in the room. It was just acting! Why were they so mad at me? Why not Sasuke?

I sighed. I could barely hear what Iruka sensei was saying only bits and pieces. He was explaining something about perserving chakra.

I repeated Neji's words. "...or does Sasuke really make you breathless?"

My mind began wondering once again to that moment yesterday. There was no denying it, Sasuke did make me breathless at times.

Before I knew it everyone was was standing up from their seats. Iruka sensei must have dismissed us for break. I began to stand too when I felt a slight tap on my shoulder. I turned around, my gaze falling apon Naruto. "Hey." he said.

"H-hi." I repled, blushing..

Naruto stood up slowly from his seat. "Can I ask you something?" he asked, leaning over my desk. If this were Kiba I would have told him he'd already asked a question, but this wasn't Kiba. This was my crush, Naruto Uzumaki. So instead I nodded instead.

"About that tradition." he began, rubbing the back of his neck. "A kiss means marriage right?"

I nodded again.

"Does it have to be right away?" he questioned further.

I shook my head. "N-no."

"That's all I wanted to ask." he said as he backed away. "See ya." he waved before heading outside.

I couldn't stop the smile from forming on my face. He knew the consiquences and well...I think he was planning on kissing me. Or not. I was confused. Still that glimer of hope sprang inside of me. My heart was sailing to the sky, my knees were weak and- Sasuke. For a moment I had completly forgotten about him. Naruto's kiss wouldn't matter since Sasuke had already kissed me. Ugh! If only there were some way to get out of this.

That reminded me. I had to find Kiba.

I began to head for the door. Once outside I scanned for Kiba. I quickly spotted him talking to Akamaru along beside Shino. I made my way over to them.

"Hi Shino." I waved.

He simply held his hand up in a sort of wave. He didn't even bother to look at me. He seemed to be looking at something else. I could tell he was in that mood. The one where he didn't really want to be bothered.

"Kiba, can I...talk to you?" I asked.

"Not even a hey, Kiba?" Kiba asked sarcastically, holding his heart and pretending to be hurt. "Ouch!"

"Hi, Kiba." I said, smiling.

Bark bark

"Oh and hi Akamaru." I giggled, grabbing Kiba's hand and pulling him along with me to the side of the school building. "So what have you got?" I asked, once we were alone.

"Well...let's see.I have a sandwich, a rice ball, a-"

"Kiba!" I practcally whined.

"Okay, okay calm down." he whispered. "I didn't actually come up with anything knew just obvious facts. You have to get your dad or someone with powr in your clan to see that this tradition is wrong and unfair." he explained.

"How do I do that?" I asked.

He shrugged. "That's where my mind went blank. I have no idea."

I sighed and looked down at the ground. "Naruto asked about the tradition today." I said.

"I think he likes you." Kiba grinned.

I blushed again.

I watched Kiba's gaze wonder to Sasuke who stood against a tree. Naruto was talking to him and laughing. "I hate him for doing this to you." Kiba said, clenching his fist.

"Forget about it for right now, please." I said, my gaze on Sasuke. His eyes caught mines and I quickly looked down.

Kiba sighed. "Let's go sit down." he said, taking my hand.

"Uh...can you give me a minute?" I asked, pulling my hand back.

"When you're ready you know where to find me." he replied, running towards Akamaru and Shino.

I stood against the wall watching Naruto and Sasuke. I watched Sakura come towards them and say something I couldn't make out. Sasuke only shook his head and headed back inside. Sakura might have went after him if Naruto didn't catch her hand. She looked angry as she turned to look at him. He was sort of blushing as he asked he said something else I couldn't make out. I felt sick. My legs gave in and I sank to the ground on my butt, my back leaning against the wall. I hated seeing them like this. Why had I thought Naruto liked me? He liked Sakura. Why did this come as such a surprise to me? I knew Naruto had a thing for Sakura since forever. But why? What did he see in her?

I took a deep breath and stood up. Instead of going over towards Kiba I headed inside. Sasuke leaned against the wall throwing shuiruken at the opposite wall. Iruka sensei was nowhere insight or else he would have had a fit.

With a bit of hesistation I leaned againt the wall right beside Sasuke, our shoulders brushing. He paused and looked at me. I kept my gaze forward almost afraid to meet his.

He grunted as he pushed off the wall and began to walk away. Without thinking I reached out and put my hand on his shoulder. He turned his head slight;y and gave me a cold questioning stare. The one that meant you have two seconds to speak before you're dead. I quickly drew my hand back. "I-I want to a-ask you something." I stuttered.

"Make it quick." he said, turning his gaze back forward. I felt a little more at ease without him looking at me.

"It's about the-" I paused as people began to fill the room. I stepped back as Sasuke walked away.

plop splash

"Mines was bigger." Hanabi exclaimed.

I had to admit she was right. We were sitting on the porch, throwing pebbles into the mud puddles due to boredom. Hanabi wanted to turn it into a competition to see who's pebble made the biggest splah.

"Okay, let's try again." I said, scanning through the pile of pebbles to find a good one. I finally settled on a small white one. It was very round and also the biggest in the bunch.

"Do you love Sasuke?" Hanabi asked out of nowhere.

Her words startled me. Why was she asking me that? At this time? Normally she would always prance around claiming I loved him but now...now she was asking.

I wasn't sure of what to say although I knew what I felt. I could feel Hanabi's stare and I didn't want to meet it. "Hinata?" she said after awhile of silence.

"Sasuke...I ha-"

"What are you two doing?"

My words were interupted by the sound of my father's voice. Both me and Hanabi turned around to look at him. He stood over us, an expression I couldn't quite read sat on his face.

"Playing." Hanabi replied.

"Well that's enough playing." he remarked, motioning for Hanabi to stand up. She reluctantly obeyed. "Go inside." he ordered.

Hanabi frowned but didn't say anything, instead she obeyed once again and head inside. What I wanted to do was make a run for it, anything to keep me from being alone with him, but instead I began to stand up casually. It was when I took my first step towards the door that he stopped me.

"You stay." he ordered.

I froze. No. Please no. I didn't know what to expect. I turned around slowly, my gaze on the wooden porch.

"Come." he said as he began walking.

I followed him to the back porch where he stopped, motioning for me to join him. With much hesistation I joined my father at his side. There was silence for awhile and the only sound that could be heard was the cool breeze passing through and alll it touched.

"The Hyuga tradition has been the way it is for centuries. Only it was not made public to people out of the clan." my father explained. He let out a deep breath and countinued. "We Hyuga clan members usally only marry within our clan, but when the first and second Hokages were in rule things began to change. Having girls in the ninja academy was a risk for our clan, but it was soon suggested that we talk to the Hokages about this. After we did it was made known to all in Konoha about the Hyuga tradition and everyone had to sign the agreement. Including the Uchihas." he paused and turned to me. "You see, Sasuke has no choice. He must marry you."

I was speechless. My mind was blank and I didn't know what to think.

My father removed a white envelope from his sleve and held it out to me. "Deliver this to him. Now"
