WOW! I wonder if this fic will go into the thirty's. The closest amount of chapters I've ever done for a story on fanfiction to this is fifteen chapters, and it was for Gundam Seed and I never even finished it! It was a comedy. I used to be good at that cuz all the comedy was just really dumb and easy to laugh at. I can't do it anymore. I know this may be hard to believe, but i was actually crazier a few years ago...

Sorry about the lateness guys. I started school again a few weeks ago and yeah...its just too much

Disclaimer: I know, it's weird but I actually don't own naruto. It may seem like I do seeing as I'm like the greatest writer in the world but ya know...we can't all have what we want...especially me...all I wanted was my PINK PONY AND DREAM STABLE BUT I'M DENIED THAT AS WELL! lmfao, every day I go into the basement to my dads office and go "Hi daddy, I love you," and he'll be like "Yeah, waddya want?" and I'll be like, "Can I have a pony?" and he'll go "Suuuuuuuure." lmfao!

WOO! MY BROTHER'S COMING BACK IN A WEEK! HE BETTER FUCKIN HUG ME OR I'LL KICK HIS ASS! God he's such a flaming ginger...much like me, though his head is like on FIRE, swear to God...you could light a cigerette on it. SMOKING'S BAD! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

Clip my Wings - CLIP'EM GOOOOOOOOOOD!

She could feel the warm, wet plains of his chest beneath her fingertips as she panted, his name coming out in every other breath. His hands roamed along her breasts and down to slide over her tummy, searching around to find her waist. Their clothes were completely disregarded, thrown aside and strewn throughout the room.

Neji and Hinata hadn't really talked after the meeting...'Talk' was such a formal word. They more so acted like nothing had happened, walking throughout the hallways unsuspiciously before they found her bedroom door. She'd almost been thrown inside under his immediate weight and pushed up against the wall as his desperate, eager kiss conquered her unprepared lips. But she'd gone with it - what was to complain about, after all?

And so now, they found themselves completely bare as she sat upon him, panting and sweating and matching his urgent thrusts. Though it felt just a little dirtier this time, seeing as they could've been caught at any moment. They'd just had a council meeting, and old, ticked off men swarmed the hallways. When Hinata finally reached her edge, she let out a high groan. Though it was suddenly cut off, and she found her voice being muffled by her partners hand. She didn't pay any mind though, the sheer pleasure sending trembles down her spine as she continued to moan in pleasure through his fingers.

She leaned forward on him once it came to an end, resting her cheek on his shoulder.

"Oh, Neji. Neji," she said over, her whispers slightly muffled by his flesh. He responded by the frantic heaving of his chest and resting a hand in her hair.

The door abruptly slid open, a blade of light growing wider in the dark room until it was almost completely illuminated

"Hinat-"

"AH!" Hinata screamed shortly, high and shrill. She pushed off of Neji in a heartbeat, forcing him to slip out of her as she flipped off of him to her back. They both sat up and pulled the sheets up to their chests. "F-F-Father!"

Hiashi stood at the doorway, his eyes and jaw hanging open and his body stiffening under their panicking eyes. After standing there for a good moment, he turned swiftly on his heal and slid the door shut behind him.

The night of the same evening had gone relatively normal. Though because of the incident with Hiashi, Neji and Hinata slept in their seperate rooms, content enough with the time they'd had together earlier in the afternoon. It was their day off today, so the two met up in the morning, staring at eachother intently for a good moment before sharing a light kiss on the lips. But Hinata seemed on edge...very on edge. She hadn't seen her father since the day before. Hinata expressed her outrage as they walked along the grassline of the park.

"It's beyond embarrassing!" Hinata exclaimed as they walked along the trees. "I-I can't even comprehend what my father must think!" She bit her lip. Her voice was frantic, almost too much so for any stuttering.

Neji's indifferent expression altered lightly before changing back again. His features had twisted and he'd quirked an eyebrow. He knew exactly what Hiashi thought. Neji couldn't fight back a smirk, but immediately replaced it, recalling Hinata's distress.

"He must think I'm so - so dirty," Hinata said again, her face down-turning at the word. Neji held an indifferent expression, his eyes down as he stared at the gravel beneath his feet, his hands slipped simply into his pant pockets. She'd been jumpy, turning to him as they walked and using large hand gestures. "I don't know what I'm going to do, what I'm gonna' say," she gasped then, covering her mouth. "What am I going to say to him! Oh, no! It's bad enough that he saw us. Maybe he just thought us being together like that was a one time thing," she suddenly saw Neji's face scrunch up at her words, and she corrected herself. "I mean, since we're so young. He might've thought we agreed to stop until we grew a bit older. Oh!" she squeeked, her face turning into an even more solemn expression. "He's never going to want to look at me ever again," she suddenly gasped again. "What if this changes his decisio-!"

Neji had stopped dead on the path, turning quickly and placing his hands on her shoulders to silence her. She still had the panicky look on her face, like she was ready to finish that sentence as soon as he gave her the word. He rolled his eyes.

"Hinata, you need to calm down," he said, quickly searching around him. "Here," he turned and walked her over to a bench on the side of the path. It was directly under a big oak tree, shady and dim. He sat her down and took a seat beside her. "Don't let this bug you too much, we should be happy right now," he said, watching as her face grew sad again.

"But how could I possibly be happy?" Neji's eyes narrowed. "There's no reason for me to be happy when my father thinks I'm some kind of...of-" Neji acted before she said a word she'd regret. Besides, if she confirmed anything else about herself now, she'd only be more depressed. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her down to lay her head on his lap. She was silent, staring up at him intently. She let out a calm sigh.

"How can you be taking this so easily," she said, slightly breathless. He smiled and shrugged.

"I can think of a few reasons. For one, we're alive," he stated obviously. She reached a hand up to hold his face as they stared at eachother, resting it on his cheek.

"Yes," she breathed out in a whisper. "That's a good one. But you know I would have never let that happen." She felt him chuckle lightly and watched as a smile appeared on his face. She smiled, too at seeing it.

"My dear, I don't think you would've had a choice." She frowned.

"It would be my discision if I were the head of the clan, wouldn't it..." she still whispered. He matched her expresison then.

"It would," he suddenly breathed in deeply and sighed out. "Hinata, I'm warning you. Don't you dare do anything you don't want to do-"

"But I do want to," she argued quickly. He quirked an eyebrow, a quizzical glance lacing his features.

"That's good," he stated hesitantly. "But Hinata-"

"You want me to, don't you," she stated more than questioned, cutting his previous words short. "You want me to take over the clan because you think I deserve to be in control for once, and have people respect me." He shook his head bluntly.

"That's not true. You won't get respect simply by becoming something. You have to show people that you're worth your title." She stared up at him for a long moment as his hand came up and slid over hers. "But yes, I want you to," he surrendered. "Because I do think you'll gain respect, only it'll be because you're different. You'll bring a new light into the Hyuuga clan, with a little something called optimism," Neji smirked. "...something that not many of the Lords before you held the talent of. People won't be treated with disrespect, and everyone will get a second chance. Eveyone's story will be heard," he finished quietly, turning his head and kissing the middle of her palm. He held her hand to his face again.

"So in other words," she began again after a good moment. Neji raised his eyebrows to pay attention. "You want me to. Summing up your speech, of course." He sighed, afraid she'd missed his point.

"Yes," he settled for the simple answer. She sighed and nodded, closing her eyes.

"Good," she said. He quirked an eyebrow, awaiting the rest. "I'll do it." Neji frowned and sighed. He thought she was taking this too lightly. It seemed as though she thought this was easy - some silly game. He opened his mouth to protest when she blurted, "If you'll help me."

His face immediately softened as he stared down at her still closed eyes. Maybe she'd been maturing without him realizing it. She was certainly something else. He smiled and reached down to plant a kiss on her forehead.

"So!" a loud voice sounded from behind. Neji and Hinata jumped. "Whatcha' up to?" Kiba laughed along with Lee. They'd come from behind them. Kiba grinned as he grabbed the back of the bench and flung himself over to sit beside them. He grinned widely at the two before Hinata sat up nervously. Neji grimaced.

"What are you doing?" he asked in an icy tone.

"Spying," Sakura shrugged truthfully, walking out from behind some bushes. Neji quirked a brow at her. How the hell had he not known they were there? Was he that distracted? He looked down at Hinata then who was staring back with a longing expression. He had his arm around her and subconciously pulled her closer. "That's so cute," Sakura cooed from behind them.

Neji sighed at recalling her presence.

"You know, maybe you guys should-" Neji began.

"So it's true. How troublesome," they heard Shikamaru's voice as he came down the path. Everyone looked up to see Shikamaru's bored expression, along with Choji's bemused.

"No kidding. Huh..." Choji added, stuffing his hand in the bag of potato chips he was carrying. Neji didn't like this at all. It was scary enough that he was so comfortable with Hinata, but he prefered to do it privately. Neji was about to protest their presence again when Sakura stood in front of him with pursed lips.

"There's probably something you should know." Neji squinted his eyes up at the girl but she paid no mind. "See, I overheard the Hokage when I was over to train with her today, and she was talking to Shizune about how she was going to have a word with he Head of the Hyuuga clan about the incident involving Neji and Hinata," she said. "I'm just going to assume I know what they're talking about?" she quirked an eyebrow in their direction and grinned. "Anyway, I just wanted to warn you. Word tends to spread fast. Pretty soon the Heads of all the clans in Konoha will know about it, wanting to stick their noses into everything-"

"I'm not stupid," Neji replied shortly, his tone arrogant. "I've already thought about it. As long as they leave us alone, it doesn't bother me."

"But they won't leave you alone," Sakura smiled to the indigo haired kunoichi. "They won't rest until they know something is being done about the baby, Hinata." Neji scowled, looking around at everyone, seeming as though they all agreed with Sakura.

"You've all been talking about this haven't you?" Neji said lowly.

"Of course," Tenten said as if it were obvious, walking up to the group and resting her elbow onto Lee's shoulder. "Of course we were slightly appalled at first, but eventually came to an agreement that we were behind you on this." She smiled widely.

"A-appalled? What for?" Hinata spoke shyly, Neji looking down at her strangely. Tenten shrugged.

"Well I was a little skeptical. I mean, you two are cousins. I know that it's perfectly normal in some cases, but isn't that a little weird for you?" Everyone turned to look at them, questioning the same thing. Hinata smiled.

"Not at all," she replied quietly but confidently. For the first time since the group had shown up, Neji smiled, though it was immediately replaced when he heard Sakura speak again.

"So what are you going to do? We've sort of been on edge thinking about you guys. Whether you like it or not, you will be pushed about this. What's going to happen about the baby? People will either want you to seperate or have Neji confined, or have you marry eachother-"

"We are," Neji replied shortly. Hinata looked up to him. They hadn't discussed it after the meeting. Hiashi had said it, but there wasn't anything final about it at all. Did this mean Neji really wanted to marry her? She smiled up at him.

"Maybe you should leave the two alone?" a darker voice came from the tree above them. The group was startled, looking up to see Shino upside down and hanging from a branch by his knees. Sakura's expression was ecstatic.

"No way! Just wait 'til I tell Ino!"

Neji sighed loudly.

"No, God, don't tell everybody, alright?"

"Neji, Hinata," a deeper voice sounded from down the path. Everyone's laughter died lightly as they glared at the man standing about ten yards away, thinking of what had happened a couple days before. "A word," Hiashi stated before turning away. Neji was on his feet and everyone's attention turned to him. He turned to look at Hinata who was still seated on the bench.

"Come on," he breathed out, just as reluctant to go as she was, though taking it slightly better. He outstretched a hand and she took it, hesitantly rising to her feet with frightened eyes. She was looking down. Surprisingly, Neji didn't release her hand once she'd gotten up. He didn't like holding her hand, she'd noticed. But she guessed he was trying to reassure her - or maybe it was for a different purpose, she thought as he began to drag her away from the crowd of teenagers. Right, she acted as the stubborn wagon with a broken wheel as he pulled her along.

Hinata could feel the lump rising in her throat, ignoring quiet "good-bye's," and "good luck's," as she drifted away from her friends. This would certainly go down in two ways, either or. Bad...or worse.

"I want you to understand that I don't approve of what you're doing. I think it's in everybody's best interest if you refrained from such...acts until you reach a certain age."

Hinata could feel her heart pouncing, the blush still fervently dancing under her eyes. Neji stood still as his love played with her fingers, fidgetting and shifting her weight.

"I still can't believe that you would do such a thing after the serious event that took place. I know you must've been relieved, though I had no idea that you two were so..." Hiashi searched for the word, but couldn't quite grasp it, any word coming up much too sexual for his liking.

"Intimate?" Neji suggested, holding back a smirk. Hiashi felt the blood rush to his face.

"Uh-uh...however you put it," Hiashi sighed. "As fine as I seem with this, I most certainly am not. Hinata, I'm still appalled that this even happened and I have no idea where you found the courage to do this. I-I - I highly disapprove, and as any father, I'm furious." He ran a palm over his face. "But..." he paused and took a deep breath, standing up from his seat behind his desk and trudging over slowly to stand in front of her. He stood there a moment before bending down to wrap his arms around the small girl. "I love you."

Hinata's eyes were wide and Neji looked at her with a perplexed expression. She couldn't remember the last time he hugged her, or said that he loved her. Neji eventually smiled, and so did she, returning the embrace.

Hiashi went through his opinion of Neji, some good - some bad. Neji found it laughable, all the same. He spoke about what he thought of their relationship. Neji and Hinata - Hinata mostly - were brought to tears when a particular story came up. Apparently, Hizashi had requested something before he'd died.

"Your father, Neji, had said something to me, and I can't recall exactly how he put it. Though he made it very clear that his intentions for your future were somewhat...arranged," Hiashi said, cringing lightly at thinking of his deceased twin brother. The old man let out what was almost a smile, then. "You may have never known, but Hizashi and I watched you two when you were little."

Neji and Hinata exchanged a glance before turning back to the man.

"Neji, you were...," he took a moment to shake his head and let out a whooshing breath. "...in horrible condition. Emotionally. After your mother died, your father and I noticed your lowly attitude and he was frightened how it would affect your growth as a person. But he found that my daughter..." he said now, turning to smile at Hinata. "was the only one who'd truly made you smile. The two of you would laugh and play in the fields while we were discussing other matters. Neji, you'd sneek out of your chambres and come to Hinata's, just to see her when you were told it was forbidden." Hiashi chuckled lightly at Neji's face as it reddened. "He asked me to keep Hinata by your side as you grew older, and eventually declare that it was best for the clan that the two of you be wed."

The teenager's eyes widened at the new knowledge. Hiashi only nodded his head at their expressions.

"It's true...But," he paused to sigh. "After the years went by, I found it increasingly difficult to keep you by eachother's side. With you, Neji being so incredibly stubborn and resentful, and Hinata as timid as she was. I was beginning to stress over the fact that I wouldn't be able to carry out my brother's wish."

Hiashi expressed that he was surprisingly relieved at their new discovery of love between eachother.

Because of this, Hiashi had made a discision - then and there. He would tell the public that this marriage was forced upon the teenagers, for the sake of the clan. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed for her when Hinata had smiled, embracing her cousin tightly. Though, there was one condition: they would not bed together, not until their wedding night. And unfortunately for Neji and Hinata, a new law had recently been passed in the Hyuuga clan. No woman was to be married until the age of eighteen.

HAHA! Neji would like...thrive on masturbation for five years XD poor horny guy!
