Later that night, Hiashi returned home, as Hinata was getting ready in her bedroom, secretly knowing her late night rendezvous with Naruto. Hiashi saw his daughter lay in her bed, her back to the door.
"Hinata?"
"Yes, father." She quietly replied.
"Did you enjoy the festival?"
"Oh yes. I had a wonderful time, especially with Naruto."
Hiashi's tone changed to a more serious inflection.
"Was he…a gentleman?"
"Father?"
"Well, did he try anything private with you?"
Blushing into her hands, her heart raced as she spoke up.
"N-No, he just held my arm as an escort. Nothing more." She lied, wanting to protect her love.
"Very well. Just be careful, you know how I feel about him."
She nodded. Hiashi grasped the doorknob and pulled it as he spoke.
"Goodnight, Hinata."
"Goodnight, father."
A few hours passed when a sound from the window awakened her. It was Naruto, dressed in his casual black and orange outfit.
"Hey, Hinata. You ready to go?" he asked quietly.
"Yes." She pulled off her covers, revealing that she was wearing her casual purple and grey outfit.
She walked over to her window sill as Naruto helped her then outside the window. He spun around, outstretched his arms behind him and crouched down as he grabbed her legs. She instinctively wrapped her arms across his neck, careful to leave him breathing room. As he pulled her onto his back, he pivoted his head towards her.
"Ready?" he asked.
When she nodded, Naruto jumped high into the air. Hearing the wind whistle in her ears and feeling her hair whip in the breeze, Hinata gazed down at Naruto.
"N-Naruto…" she whispered to herself.
As they leapt from rooftop to rooftop, Hinata could see they were headed for the forest outside the village.
"Naruto, where are you taking me?" she asked.
"You'll see, it's a surprise." He replied.
She smiled and nestled her head on the nape of his neck. The two lovers leapt across rooftops, wanting the night to go on forever.
Meanwhile, Hiashi felt something wasn't right and decided to check on Hinata. He opened her bedroom door,
"Hina-" he gasped at her empty bed and open window. "Hinata, where would she-" he paused then turned to anger.
"Naruto!"
Neji ran to the sound of Hiashi's distressed voice.
"Lord Hiashi, what is it?"
"Hinata's gone and I suspect Naruto's behind it."
"Should I wake the others and search for her?"
"No, I want just you to find them. And bring Naruto straight to me." Hiashi demanded.
Neji nodded, jumped onto her window sill and leapt into the sky.
Hiashi sighed,
"Bring Hinata home safely to me, then I'll deal with Naruto…severely." He said furiously as he gazed out the window, trying not to think about what they could be up to at this time of night.
