Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Second to last chapter here people. Please review. This is also all my own idea this time.


Hinata swore she wouldn't faint. She swore she wouldn't turn bright red. She swore she wouldn't stutter.

She failed at all three.

Shikamaru looked down at the now nineteen year old girl-no woman and smirked, sure she would say yes when she woke up. For the time being, he lifted her into his arms, surprised that she was so light, and sped off for the Hyuuga manor.

Shikamaru honestly would have rather fought off more Sound nin than spend time with Hiashi Hyuuga but he ended up with him in the same room, Hinata finally awake, still blushing. The older male glared down at him, and the rest of Team 8 joined in. Shika sweat dropped and wondered when they had come in.

"So, you have asked?" Hiashi demanded.

"Yes," Shika answered.

"And…?"

"I said yes, Father."

The other two males in the room fainted, and Akamaru whimpered since his owner was so lame.

Hanabi, having just arrived, jumped into her sister's arms and yelled, "NO don't leave me for that stupid, lazy a-hole!"

"Hanabi," Hinata warned.

"But I'll miss you," the younger one whined.

"I'll miss you too."

"I won't," Shikamaru growled. "So is she allowed to or not?"

Hiashi nodded. "You may leave for vacation in one week."
