Chapter 10: Three Hyugas, Haruno, Hokage.

Hinata is quietly sitting on the settee with a book when the door opens on her furious father. Pregnant, without any possible doubt.
Hiashi: "Unworthy Girl! Shameful daughter!"

He wants to strike her daughter. But she makes the blow deviate and avoids it. She’s always sitting on the settee, but her hands are now in position of parade. A woman’s guard , without fail. The HyuJo technique, entirely devoted to defense. Hiashi strikes down Hinata with his glance: "You are definitely a subject of shame for me, and all the clan!"

Hinata doesn’t stumble. Her glance supports his father’s without trace neither of anger, nor of fear. Just the determination of somebody who chose the way that she feels right. This resistance revives the rage of Hiashi who tries to break the guard in front of him. But another hand blocks his, Neji has just leaped between them. He pushes back his uncle behind and stand in front of Hinata to protect her.

Hiashi: "Neji... you hid me that all this time..."
It wounds it more than the treason of Hinata.
Hinata: "I required him to keep silent."
But Neji rectifies: "I wanted to protect Hinata. It’s my mission. And I would protect her, even against the members of my own family "
Hiashi: "you dare... you dare to disobey me?"

Neji turns pale as he see the hands of his uncle forming a seal, and immediately he breaks down howling with pain, his hands contracted on his face. The pain releases him as brutally as it had come. Panting, he tries to raise.
Hiashi: "move from there, Neji."
It’s madness, without any doubt but...
Neji: "No."
Hinata: "Neji! stop! you don’t need, I can defend myself."

But he raise nevertheless, again between Hiashi and Hinata. The seal activates again and he falls down under the pain. Suddenly, a feeling of freshness bathes him and the pain reduces, almost until being erased. He can open the eyes, and see Sakura leaning on him, a medical spell filtering out of her palms posed on his face, blocking the action of the seal. Trough the door and the windows appear Tsunade and a squad of Anbus.
Sakura: " I brought back the hokage with me, Neji. Thank you to have held until."

Tsunade order to Hiashi: " Stop your spell "
He obey and ask her for explanation.
Tsunade: " You won’t have any. Hinata asked for protection, I gave her. "
Hiashi: "Hinata is a Hyuga member. She must obey the clan’s rule and his father.You don’t have the right to interfer in our family problem."
Tsunade: " If Hinata’s life and her child is in danger, Konoha’s future is in danger too."
Hiashi: " I promise that their lives aren’t under thread."

Now Hiashi is calmed, he understands clearly what to do : bring back Hinata at home, raise the child as Hyuga’s heir. But Hinata reads it in his eyes and stand up with furor. This abrupt movement make everybody turn toward her, and the furious face of Hinata make everyone shut up. Nebody have ever seen her angry .
With her voice full of anger, Hinata says :
" I don’t care about Hyuga’s old and inhuman rules. They always caused more bad that good.
Hyuga should have the same laws as all Konoha.
But It doesn’t concerne me anymore.
I’m adult.
I have an husband.
I’m not under your order anymore.
I’m not Hyuga anymore.
I’m Uchiwa.
I’m Itachi’s wife."
Each word sounds like a bomb in the deep silence. Nobody know what to do anymore. With her eyes right in her father’s eyes, Hinata concludes : "Mind your own business and Hanabi, like you always did. Now go out. I don’t want to see you anymore.."
