A shriek of terror pierced the night as Naruto woke up immediately. Registering that it came from Hinata's room he immediately got out of bed and flashed to the door to her room, opening it and running inside. Hinata was sitting in the bed her eyes wide with terror.
"Hinata is everything okay?" Naruto asked worried.
Hinata calmed slightly at his voice, "W-where a-am I?"
Naruto sighed, "You are in your bedroom at my house."
Hinata looked at him confused, "M-my room?"
Naruto nodded, "It's complicated, we will talk about it tomorrow. Is that okay?"
Hinata nodded, "I-I suppose."
Naruto smiled gently at her, sitting on her bed and wrapping an arm around her. "Have another nightmare?"
Hinata's eyes teared up, "Y-yes. W-when w-will they s-stop?"
Naruto sighed squeezing her tight as cuddled into him, "I don't know Hinata, I'm sorry, I wish I had a better answer to give you. I wish I could tell you it would all go away."
Hinata just continued to cry into his should as she wrapped her arms around him.
Naruto sighed, he hoped Hiashi wouldn't come in like he had, this wouldn't look good after all. "Are you okay now?"
Hinata shook her head, "P-please d-don't go N-Naruto."
Naruto nodded, "I won't go anywhere Hinata, he rocked back and forth with her as she cuddled him, and she played with her hair, running his hands through it. He had found out that it calmed her down a lot. After 15 minutes Hinata was asleep and Naruto laid her down and walked out of the room quietly closing the door. He turned around and was shocked to see Hiashi standing there with an eyebrow raised.
Naruto immediately flushed red, "Uh, it's not what it looks like Lord Hiashi."
Hiashi chuckled quietly, "I know, I activated my Byakugan as soon as I heard the scream, I saw you go in and comfort you. I didn't want to interrupt you two, you are good man Naruto." Hiashi finished placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder.
Naruto shook his head, "I am just trying to help her. I really do love her Lord Hiashi."
Hiashi nodded, "I'm well aware Naruto. Thank you for everything you have done for her and myself, your kindness will not be forgotten." Hiashi then walked away heading back into his room.
Naruto sighed and walked back to his room, laying down and immediately fell back to sleep.
…
Naruto woke up the next morning and after a light workout had clones start making breakfast for his guests while he showered and prepared for the day. After his shower, he walked out of his house and went towards Shizune's place. He was going to ask the woman to help with Hinata, to make sure her arm was going to be okay. He didn't want to bother Tsunade with it, but Shizune would help him out here.
He took to the roofs, taking in all of Konoha as he went. It was a beautiful morning; the sun was shining bright and birds chirping around him. He sighed, maybe he could get Hinata out of the house for a while and out here.
He jumped down to Shizune's house and knocked on the door. He waited a moment as she came to the door. She opened the door and he smelt breakfast cooking, which was weird Shizune didn't cook. She was wearing short shorts and a teeshirt.
"Naruto! What are you doing here?" Shizune asked the blonde ninja.
Naruto grinned, "Well I was going to invite you to come have breakfast with me and Hinata and Hiashi at my place for a favor, but you seem to already have breakfast going, funny thing is, I didn't think you cooked?"
Shizune blushed, "Uh, yeah well I have some company."
Naruto grinned, "Good for you, how is Iruka by the way?"
Shizune blushed again, before Naruto said, "Kakashi told me about it."
Shizune nodded, "Of course he did," she turned around and shouted, "Iruka, Naruto is here, want to go have breakfast with him and Hinata?" Iruka walked over to the door blushing slightly.
"Naruto, how's it going?" Iruka asked his former student.
Naruto smiled at the two, "It's going well. Breakfast will be in an hour, we can catch up then."
Iruka and Shizune nodded as Naruto took off and headed back for his place. He walked in and saw Kakashi and Anko sitting at the table, "Hey guys, Hinata and Lord Hiashi are here, Shizune and Iruka are joining. Apparently, we are having a large group breakfast, do you two want to join?"
"Yeah, sure thing." Kakashi replied, taking a sip from his coffee.
Naruto walked upstairs right as Hiashi walked out of his room, "Lord Hiashi, I hope everything was to your liking last night?" The blonde asked the clan head.
Hiashi nodded, "It was perfect Naruto thank you, I was just heading in to wake up Hinata."
Naruto nodded, "If you don't mind I will join you, I have clones cooking breakfast it will be in about an hour. I want to see how Hinata is doing beforehand."
Hiashi nodded, "That's fine by me." He knocked on Hinata's door and they waited for permission to come in. They walked in and saw Hinata sitting up in the bed again, her hair matted down from sleeping.
In Naruto's eyes, she was still the most beautiful woman in the world. She was frowning though, looking sad. "Everything okay Hinata?" Naruto asked her.
Hinata nodded, "I-I'm f-fine."
Naruto sighed, he knew she was lying, but didn't want to hash it out with her. "If you say so, well, there are towels in your bathroom, if you want to shower, I can get you some new clothes, a tee shirt and some sweatpants or something."
Hinata nodded in thanks, "T-thank you N-Naruto."
Naruto nodded and said, "Breakfast will be ready within the hour. I will leave you too it."
"C-can I-I please get a-a s-sweatshirt a-as well N-Naruto?" Hinata asked him. He turned and nodded in affirmative leaving her with Hiashi.
Hinata turned to her father, "F-Father, what i-is going o-on w-why a-are we h-here?"
Hiashi sighed, "Hinata, after last night I am scared for you, I am worried for your safety if you were to stay in the compound. Naruto has graciously accepted to house you here. I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you Hinata."
Hinata's eyes teared up, "B-but i-it's my h-home. I-I am being f-forced out? B-but w-what about H-Hanabi? S-she h-hates me I-I have t-to fix o-our relationship."
Hiashi sighed, "I'm sorry Hinata, but you aren't safe there. You will have to stay here. It is out of my control."
Hinata bit her lip, "Y-yes f-father." Hinata would be the good daughter.
She got out of bed, as the tears rolled down her cheek she walked into the bathroom as Hiashi stood and sighed.
Hinata walked into the bathroom, closing the door and undressing. She scowled at her reflection, noticing the scars that still adorned her body. She hated how she looked, all she could think was that she was disgusting, and ugly. She sighed, her eyes moved to her forehead noticing the seal again. The caged bird seal. Her own clan hated her. She was the only heiress she had ever heard of to be branded. She sighed, figuring it didn't matter as clearly, she was no longer heiress. Her fists balled up, why was everything going so wrong for her. She missed 9, 9 could have helped her here. She could actually talk to 9, the woman would know exactly what to say."
Hinata shook her head as she warmed the shower and stepped into it, letting the water fall down her body, washing her. She sighed and began to wash herself. After getting herself clean she stepped out of the shower and dried herself off. Walking into the room to see grey sweatpants and a black tee shirt on the bed, next to them an orange hoodie. She walked forward and got dressed before sitting on the bed and thinking about things. Sighing she got up and walked out of her room to see Naruto, he grinned at her.
"Hinata, you look beautiful today, Naruto is down stairs and waiting at the table with our other guests. Just head down that hall and walk down the stairs, then take a left and head into the dining room." He pointed down the hallway before bursting into a cloud of smoke.
Everyone was sitting at the table. Naruto at the head of the table, Hiashi across from him. Hinata sat next to Naruto on one side, Anko next to her and Kakashi next to Anko. Iruka sat next to Naruto on the other side with Shizune sitting next to him. Hinata sat quietly as everyone chatted amongst themselves, only answering questions when they were asked to her. Hinata allowed her bangs to fall over her forehead hiding the caged bird seal that now adorned her.
After breakfast Kakashi and Anko excused themselves and headed out to train at a training ground. Shizune turned to Naruto, "So, what was that favor you needed?"
Naruto sighed, "Last night Hinata was attacked at the Hyuga compound, her arm was broken, I healed it, but my healing isn't the greatest, so I wanted you to check it make sure it was right."
Shizune nodded, "Why was she attacked?"
"I believe she was attacked by some of the clan elders. They were discontent with her as an heir. Also, to punish her for giving up clan secrets. Even though she was tortured and had no choice." Hiashi stated.
Shizunes eyes widened and she looked at Hinata, the poor girl was looking down at her hands, refusing to meet anyone's eyes. Shizune stood and walked over, taking Hinata's arm into her hands and scanning it with a jutsu, "Not bad Naruto, you are getting better at this, I just need to refine it a little to get it perfectly."
Naruto nodded as Shizune healed Hinata's arm. "There you go, good as new. Hiashi are you going to report this?"
Hiashi nodded, "I am meeting with Lady Hokage soon, in fact I should probably head that way. Naruto, thank you for your hospitality. Everything was great, your parents are looking down on you proud of the person that their son has become."
Naruto nodded, grinning broadly, "Thank you Lord Hiashi."
Hiashi stood up, "If you wouldn't mind taking Hinata to the markets and getting her anything she wants for her room, send me the bill and I will cover it all. That will include lunch anywhere you two want. I will seal all of her clothes in a storage scroll and bring them by later."
Naruto nodded as Hiashi left through the front door.
"Naruto, can I have a word?" Iruka asked Naruto.
Naruto raised an eyebrow but nodded, "Sure Iruka-sensei."
The two walked into the living room, leaving Hinata and Shizune alone, "Hinata, did they hurt you in any other way?" Shizune asked.
Hinata shook her head, but didn't speak.
"Hinata is there anything else I can do for you? Shizune asked.
Hinata again shook her head, not looking up to meet Shizune's eyes.
"Okay Hinata if you think of anything, please let me know." Shizune told the girl, her heart going out to her.
Iruka grinned at Naruto, "So, I hear you are some sort of badass ninja now?"
Naruto grinned back sheepishly, his hand going to the back of his head, "Well I have gotten a little stronger."
Iruka laughed, "A little? I hear you can fight with Kakashi evenly. That puts you at one of the strongest in the village."
Naruto laughed, "Kakashi is stronger than me still."
Iruka laughed, "Well watch out Naruto, hearing about some of your exploits has me inspired to get back to training myself and try to make jonin."
Naruto grinned, "That's awesome, we should spar sometime."
Iruka laughed, "Sure, you will have to go easy on me."
Naruto nodded, and Shizune walked in, "Iruka, want to go get some training in?"
Iruka nodded, saying good bye to Naruto, and walking out. Naruto walked back into the dining room, and saw Hinata sitting there with her head in her hands.
"Hinata want a tour of the house? I know it isn't ideal, but we can still make the most of it. After the tour, we can go shopping for stuff for your room."
Hinata nodded getting up and following Naruto as he first showed her the first level of the house and the backyard, where his garden was. Hinata was surprised to see a garden, "N-Naruto, t-this garden, i-I'ts beautiful."
"I kinda enjoy gardening myself, I guess you could call it a hobby. Although lately I have been having clones keep it up, I still enjoy the memories I get. If you want, you can plant anything you would like."
Hinata nodded, and hugged him, "I would love that." Naruto nodded and turned showing her the next part of the giant yard, it was a training field.
Naruto then showed her inside and showed her the training rooms and the basement. Then back to her room, "Here I can try to find you some clothes from my mom that you can wear when we go out."
