Note I do not own Naruto or most of the characters in this fic. A few of the jutsus are made up as far as I know, and this take place farther into the future so please don't kill me with hate mail because some of the characters seem to operate out of character as far as they have been revealed in the series thus far.
Chapter 1: The heiress' problem
For Hinata Hyuuga, a ninja of Konoha village the sickness was unbearable. Every morning she felt incredibly ill. She would feel weak and could not keep her breakfast down. This process had repeated itself for around a week. This morning Hinata's cousin Neji entered her room to find her sobbing in her bathroom. He could immediately see that something was wrong despites her insistence of the opposite. He scooped up his cousin's feeble form and took her to Konoha's hospital complex as fast as his legs would carry him. Due to their family's prominence in the village she was brought into an examination room within minutes. She was instructed to disrobe and put on one of the hospital's gowns. Neji averted his eyes while the young heiress changed her clothing. Soon the medical ninja came to see her. Hinata had always hated the seeing doctors; somehow they made her feel even more helpless.
"Well," the medical ninja started, "for someone in your condition you are perfectly fine. Sickness in the morning is a normal thing."
"What do you mean by 'Someone in your condition'?" Neji asked the medic. A look of concern flashed across his face.
"Well, Neji your cousin is pregnant." The female doctor smiled slightly. "You will be fine Hinata, just give it a few months and your discomfort shall pass." The medical ninja stood and left the cousins alone.
Neji glared at the young woman sitting on the examination table. Focusing the chakra in his eyes he activated his bloodline limit, the Byakugan and concentrated his gaze on his cousin's womb. Sure enough he could see a faint amount of chakra emanating from the new life growing within her. He turned his focus to Hinata's eyes.
"Who is the father?" he asked his voice barely hiding the anger Hinata could see in his eyes. His fists were clenched so tightly that his fingers were beginning to turn red.
Hinata began thinking quickly, she couldn't tell him. If she did it would put the life of her cherished one in danger. She decided that the best course of action would be to not reveal any information.
"I cannot say cousin." She said quietly, as she rubbed her index fingers together. This was an old sign of nervousness that she had not exhibited for a long time.
Neji took a mental note of what he saw, there were other ways to get information out of people besides their words. In recent years he had been studying with Konoha's interrogation specialist Morino Ibiki. With his bloodline limit's abilities and proper information gathering training, Neji could learn things from his targets before they even knew they gave any information up.
"Fine, but I am not sure what your father will do when he hears of this cousin." Neji began his lecture "It could bring shame upon the family, you as the heiress should be most concerned with upholding our honor." His tone was full of scorn, and his words hit Hinata like a sledge hammer. Didn't he think she knew that, if she had any idea that such a thing would happen she would have avoided the situation.
Hinata opened her mouth to reply but quickly shut it when the door to the room was flung open. In whisked a Pink-haired woman dressed in the white robes of the hospital staff. Despite the fact that her standard clothing was missing in favor of her uniform Hinata immediately recognized the young girl. It was Sakura another Leaf Ninja. Once Hinata had thought of her as a rival for the love of Naruto, the young man she had her heart set on. Now that wasn't her concern.
"I just heard!" Sakura squealed in excitement. Soon however a frown crossed her face. "I didn't know you had a serious relationship with anyone though." The young medical ninja scanned Hinata's face and saw only sadness. Looking to Neji she noticed a mixture of anger and disdain.
Hinata blushed and tried to find something that she could say with Neji in the room. She glanced at the male ninja to see if he was calming down. The stern look on his face gave him her answer. Thankfully Sakura was observant.
"Neji I have some things I need to discuss with your cousin in private so I would appreciate it if you would leave." She said in a sweet tone, a slight smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
The Genius of the Hyuuga clan opened his mouth to protest but was quickly silenced by a look from the young medical ninja. He had heard that while training under the fifth Hokage she had gained almost supernatural strength he thought it prudent not to argue with her at the moment. He quickly left the room and stood in the hall. He could not hear the words that passed between the female ninjas due to the thickness of the door.
I do this only out of concern for you cousin He thought to himself. He concentrated some of his chakra into his eyes. The veins in his face bulged and his field of vision increased to beyond the door. The Byakugan was a bloodline limit exclusive to the Hyuuga family and Neji was a master of its uses. Through many months of training Neji had learned to read lips now he could see a word forming on Hinata's mouth. The young ninja's eyes narrowed and he rushed out of the hospital. He knew the father of the child in his cousin's womb. He now had to pay a visit to that man. This man was the ninja known as Uzumaki Naruto.
Naruto was not hard to track down at this hour. He was often seen at his favorite restaurant now that he had the money to eat there often. He had just finished his third bowl of ramen for the day when Neji appeared.
"Hey Naruto," Neji began, his voice betraying none of the anger he felt. "I need to talk to you." He stood in the middle of the street. People passed by unaware of the plight his family was in. Hopefully it would remain that way.
Naruto put down his empty bowl, and jumped down from the stool on which he sat. He was outside the diner a minute later. The two walked a short distance before coming to an alleyway. Neji glanced around cautiously before relaxing a little.
"To what do I owe the pleasure of having the genius of the Hyuuga clan pay me a visit?" Naruto asked the older man, a tone of mock sarcasm in his words. Since Neji's defeat at the hands of Naruto several years earlier the two ninjas had enjoyed a relationship of mutual respect. Now that sacred trust had been broken by Naruto and nothing could restore to its former state.
"You have shamed my cousin and my family Uzamaki Naruto." Neji stated plainly "Because of this I have come to fight you to gain back what we have lost."
Naruto affixed Neji with a blank stare. He may have gotten older but he still has his same moronic tendencies. The Hyuuga thought to himself.
"What are you talking about?" The younger ninja asked. "Your uncle gave me permission to see Hinata nearly a year ago. I do not see how your family has lost any honor from this." Naruto was obviously confused by the whole conversation and was beginning to feel annoyed.
"He may have given you permission to court her," The genius growled, "but you have taken your liberties too far. Now a child grows within her and she is not married. This brings shame upon our clan's proud name."
The two ninjas were practically face to face now. Neji could smell the ramen Naruto's breath.
"So you think beating me up will fix this?" Naruto shouted "I didn't know this would happen. In fact this is the first I had heard of the matter!"
"You fool! I just found out about her condition today. If we had known about this earlier you might be dead already." Neji hissed venom flowing through his words.
"Now there are only two options left for either of us to take. One is you can fight me for our clans honor. Be forewarned that even if I should lose when word of this gets out, which it undoubtedly will, the whole of the Hyuuga clan will want your head for so defiling the heiress."
Naruto gulped. The seriousness of the situation was finally sinking in.
"W-what is the other option?" the younger ninja asked hesitantly.
Neji smiled at his words.
"You confess your sins to the head of the clan, and seek to make it right."
"And how can I do that?" Naruto had taken to shouting again.
"By marrying Hinata before she begins to show any outward signs of her condition." Neji replied coldly.
Outside of the village a lone figure walked the dusty trail to Konoha Village. His boots kicked up dust as he traveled the dirt road. His features were hidden by a mask and dark glasses. Finally I will get you demon! He thought triumphantly. Feeling a burst of energy he quickened his pace to a run. Soon his goal would be accomplished.
