'Do.. Do I still have detention?'

'So you thought it was detention? I just wanted to keep you inside till we had solved this matter. And I guess that time has come. Feel free to fly as a bird again!' He smiled.

'C..Can I pay a visit to Hinata-neechan too?' I knew this wouldn't make him happy, but I just had to ask.

His face clouded over. 'I guess it doesn't matter what I will answer you, I suppose you will go anyway…'

'No father! Please don't doubt me! Your answer does matter! If I were to oppose you, I wouldn't have asked you in the first place!'

His smile returned on his face as he patted me on the head.

'Do whatever you want to do, my princess, I'm sure I can trust you now.'

I couldn't hold back a smile. The last time he called me his princess was about ten years ago when I was 5 years old.

'Thanks father!'

4. Paying a visit

I walked towards the resident of Naruto and Hinata with a heavy bag. I decided to come unannounced, I wanted to surprise Hinata. I was very nervous. I didn't really know why, but may be because I hadn't seen her for about 2 weeks and a lot had changed since then.

The first time I saw my sisters crush was during his fight against Neji. My father told me to watch closely, since Neji was probably the most gifted Hyuuga. It was a tough and impressive fight, but in the end it was Naruto who had won. However he didn't receive the chuunin-title.

4 Years later a met him again. This time he became my teammate. He returned from a 3 years training with one of the sannin. He wanted to take the chuunin exam again, but since the girl named Sakura was already chuunin and that boy named Sasuke left the village he had nobody to take the exam with. That's why the hokage appointed me since I was talented and was the highest rank of the class. She also appointed some random guy I didn't really know. Although that exam was interrupted by enemy forces and we lost our third teammate in the last round, which of course was really sad, we did succeed in receiving the chuunin-title in the end.

The enemy forces killed a lot of other Konoha-shinobi too. A lot of teams lost one or more members. Some teams were put together to get a fair division. I ended up in a team which lost a male member. In the beginning I felt like I was an unwanted person. Like it was my fault that their former teammate had died. Later on I was excepted as one of the team. And somehow I got the idea, that my male teammate, who reminded me a lot of Naruto, had developed a crush on me, even though we were like water and fire.

Both of them were loud, but kind. They would do everything to protect their precious persons. And although they wanted to look very strong, they had their emotional moments too. And they shared the same dream. Both wanted to become hokage…

I woke up from my thoughts when I reached Naruto's apartment. Did I really had to pay them a visit? I could still turn around and walk back home. I shook my head. No, I wanted to face my sister. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

'Hai hai! I'm coming!' That sounded like Naruto. 'You better not sell some useless stuff! Then I will make sure to kick you to the end of the alley!' Yes… it was Naruto, definitely Naruto.

He slightly opened the door and took a peek around the corner.

'Hanabi-chan!' He shouted as he thrown open the door. 'Come in!'

He pulled me in before I even could move a feet.

'Did your mean father finally let you go? Or did some handsome prince saved you from your confinement?' He grinned.

'No, father let me go.'

'Awww, so no fairytale-setting?'

'No'

'You know? I tried to convince Konohamaru to go to your house and free you, but he seemed rather afraid of your mean daddy and cousin. And he thought you were ill, so he was kind of disappointed you lied to him!'

I rolled my eyes. It was not me who told them.

'Father probably told him…'

'Yeah, but you like him, don't you?'

'Hanabi-neechan!' Finally. Hinata saved me.

'Hinata-neechan!' Hinata came forward and hugged me.

'Was Naruto being annoying again?'

I decided not to answer to this rethoric question, but she didn't really mind.

'Naruto. Why don't you go to Shikamaru and Temari? Then I will go talk with Hanabi in the kitchen.'

'Oh yeah, sure!'

'You already have visitors?'

'Yes, but that doesn't matter! At least we can get rid of Naruto.' She winked.

I followed my sister to the kitchen, where she gave me something to drink.

'So… How have you been doing lately?'

'Fine' I answered, 'I'm appointed as the new successor of the clan.'

'Yeah, I thought so, you will make a good leader.'

'You think so?'

'Yes! Most definitely! Hanabi-neechan, you have talent, power and charisma, what more do you want?'

I smiled. She was trying to cheer me up.

'But… it's official for you now!'

'Hanabi-neechan, I knew this would happen in the first place and I don't care at all! I'm glad I can be with the man I love!'

I looked up to her. She sure looked happy.

'Just be sure to do a good job, okay?'

I nodded to her.

'So… does living together please you?'

'Yes! It's just great! Every morning I wake up next to him, I enter a new dream.' She swooned. 'And with you being here now, it only makes it better!'

I blushed.

I looked around the kitchen. It was painted blue.

'It looks nice around here!'

'You think so? Well, up and till last week it was a great mess, but I cleaned it up.'

'You did? Why didn't you let Naruto clean it up? I guess it was his mess?'

'Yeah, that true. But with him cleaning up it would probably have become more messy!' She laughed.

'Just make sure he will not make you do everything!'

'Haha, don't worry about that! He doesn't want to strain me to much!'

'Well he better not! Oh and Hinata-neechan, before I forget, I brought you some stuff.' I said as I dropped the bag on the table.

'Thank you!' Hinata stood up and opened the bag. She took a photo frame out of it. It was our family picture. Then she took the other photo frame. It was the picture with her former team. 'Wow, this is great! But I will unpack the bag later, okay?'

'Yeah sure!'

'Or do you need the bag right away?'

'No, it is just an old bag.'

'I will bring it next week.'

'Next week?'

'Yeah…' She suddenly looked sad again.

'The seal?'

She nodded. 'I wonder if it hurts.'

'Probably not that much …' At least not physical, but I guessed it would hurt her mentally very bad.

'Yeah… Oh yeah! I have something for you too! Well actually not for you, but I want you to bring it!'

I looked up. Her mood changed surprisingly fast.

She rushed towards a locker and came back with a envelope.

'It's for fathers birthday, can you give it to him?' After all the things he had done to her, she still wanted to give him something! I just nodded.

Both of us watched as we heard someone opening the kitchen door. It was none other than Naruto.

'Hinata-chan? It's almost time…'

'Uhm yeah of course, Hanabi-neechan? I don't want to rush you, but Shikamaru and Temari wanted to take us to the onsen…'

In other words, it was time for me to go.

I stood up and bowed to her.

'Thanks for having me.'

'Anytime' She smiled gently.

Author's note: In this story I paired Naruto and Hinata together, although Ilike the KibaHinata pairing better. But somehow NarutoHinata fitted better in. And sometimes I might reference to other pairings, but they don't really play a part in the story.
